Child care provider Kim Olsen plays a memory game with children at Once Upon A Time Child Care Centre in Sardis. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Child care centres struggle to survive Katie Bartel The Progress Kathy Antonio knows first hand the impact of full-day kindergarten on early childhood educators. The director of A Is For Apple Daycare has felt like she’s been living on the edge all year. Since September she’s been losing $300 per child, per day for the seven kindergarten kids in her care that are now attending full-day kindergarten. That’s $6,000 a month; $42,000 to date. “It’s a really scary time to be in the daycare industry,” said Antonio, whose centre is at McCammon elementary, which was one of the first schools in Chilliwack to start full-day kindergarten last September, The B.C. Ministry of Children and Family Development

announced last week that it would be allocating $1 million of one-time funding to licensed group child-care providers as a way of easing them through the transition of when full-day kindergarten starts for all public school students in September. Of that, Chilliwack, Agassiz and Hope will be receiving $23,000 to be shared amongst 22 licensed child-care providers. But it’s nowhere near enough, said Antonio, who was allotted $979. “I’m losing $300 per child a day, but wow, they’re giving me a whole $900, how lucky.” When full-day kindergarten was implemented at 14 of the 20 elementary schools in Chilliwack last year, many group child care providers were forced to change the fee rate for kindergarten kids from the top-rated full-time care

to before- and after-school care. Not only has it strained centres financially, it’s also put a strain on before- and after-school care programs. Once Upon A Time Child Care Centre in Sardis has a year-long wait list for its after-school program. Many of the kids on the wait list have been coming to the centre since they were toddlers. Owner Kim Olsen fears she may have to turn some away. “It’s put huge strains on us,” said Olsen, who was allotted $712 of the grant. “We’re probably going to have to expand.” But with the state of the daycare industry these days, Olsen isn’t so sure expansion is the wisest business choice. In her 20 years as a licensed child-care provider, she said she’s never seen the industry so bad.

Child care centres are closing because of the financial strains and certified, quality staff is becoming harder to find. “You keep plugging along for as long as you can, but at some point it’s just not viable anymore,” said Olsen. The future doesn’t look promising. The B.C. Ministry of Education is actively looking at implementing junior kindergarten options for three- and four-year-olds, which would inevitably drop the child-care rates for that age group, leaving just infants and toddlers in the full-time care rate. But because infant and toddler care require so much more certified staffing it’s not cost effective. If the ministry goes down that route, “I’m going to lose my business,” said Antonio.

International students at the University of the Fraser Valley are pumping about $32 million a year into the local economy, says UFV president Mark Evered. “That’s a lot of money coming into the businesses of the Fraser Valley,” he said, at a Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce lunch last week. Most of the 800 international students attend classes at UFV’s Abbotsford campus, he said, but programs are being developed that would see more coming to Chilliwack’s new $40-million campus, which will open later this year. “Let’s be frank, these are not poor students,” Evered said, and each spends about $40,000 a year, $13,000 on tuition and the remainder on accommodation, food, clothing, cars and family visits. Evered was talking to the chamber about the unique “partnership” UFV has with Chilliwack, and with each of the communities it serves in the Fraser Valley. The university has a total student population of about 16,000 plus 1,500 staff, making it larger than some B.C. communities, such as Comox, Terrace and Salmon Arm. And these young students form a major market, not only for sales, but as a pool of trained, creative talent for the future. Evered said the training students get in trades or professions at UFV is a “portal to this new world.” “If we get it right, they’ll be building the economy and the businesses here that we can be proud of,” he said.

Good reasons for traffic roundabout, says Mayor Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Anyone harbouring a secret desire that the Evans Road Roundabout might one day disappear from the landscape should probably forget about it. “Are we ever going to take it out?” said Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “The answer is no and there are several good reasons for that.” An open house on the Evans Roundabout held Tuesday at Evergreen Hall was well attended in Chilliwack, with more than 100 members of the public showing up to ask questions about the engineering, design and function of the roundabout. Traffic-calming roundabouts are with us for good. “Roundabouts are considered the way of the future for safety,” said Gaetz.

Disappearing dogs in Rosedale Chilliwack RCMP are investigating several reports of disappearing dogs in Rosedale. Police say they have three reports of dogs-gone-missing over the past few months, but it’s difficult to say the dogs were really stolen if the owners don’t have proof of ownership. “We need to find out why dogs are going missing, and who is responsible, if they are being stolen,” Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said. The latest case involves a two-year-old Golden Lab named Roxy, who went missing from her Rosedale home on Feb. 28. The dog was wearing a red collar, which was later found by the owner in the backyard, “which indicates to police that someone removed the collar and took her,” Hollingsworth said. Police are urging dog owners to licence, tattoo and/or microchip their dogs to prove ownership. For information on how to licence your dog, call the City of Chilliwack at 604-792-9311. For information on lost pets, adoption and licencing call Animal Control at 604-795-4638. For information on tattooing and microchipping call the Chilliwack SPCA at 604-823-6612. Anyone with information about Roxy or any related tips should call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604792-4611 or the Agassiz RCMP at 604-796-2211.

Unfortunately, most motorists would rather not stop for lights, in general, which is why the number one crash site in Chilliwack is at the busiest intersection of Vedder Road at Luckakuck Way. “The other reason is that roundabouts are earth-friendly and green. The drivers don’t have to wait at a light, and there’s no idling,” she said. Plus it’s cheaper in the end given the extensive underground wiring and other costs that go into putting up street lights. “We saved about $750,000 putting in a roundabout at Evans rather than full signalization with stop lights, so that is yet another compelling argument.” The city had to do something. “We were starting to get calls from the public around the time the Walmart first opened,” Gaetz said. Staff decided it would be better

to answer questions all at once, with ICBC and RCMP invited to attend the open house as well. “It’s our first roundabout with two lanes, and some are a little concerned about it,” she said. “That being said, I think the majority of drivers understand how to use it, and use it well.” Then there are those who come flying into the roundabout at high speeds, causing dangerous driving situations by not yielding the right of way, or worse, freaking everyone out by trying to back up when they miss their exit. “As a fellow councillor stated recently about the roundabout, ‘It’s not a merry-go-round,’ you can get off at an exit whenever you like.’” More motorists are actually starting to feel comfortable taking the plunge. “It’s really well-used,” she said. “I think it’s really good for the city.”

Summer crowds are a fixture at Cultus Lake with visitors from all across the Lower Mainland hitting the beach every weekend. But a whopping 93 per cent of lake users surveyed last summer want more “environmental care” taken of Cultus Lake. “That’s a very high level of concern and awareness,” said Marion Robinson of Cultus Lake Aquatic Stewardship Strategy (CLASS). “That tells us they want us to be there for the lake.” The Cultus Lake User Survey Report was put together by Robinson of the Fraser Basin Council on behalf of CLASS, and it polled the opinions of a broad variety of lake users, mostly face-to-face, from swimmers, boaters and hikers, to tourists and residents. A total of 168 surveys were filled out. “The lake is loved,” Robinson said. “We found out that lake users value the health and ecological integrity of Cultus Lake the most.” The goal of the survey was assess the current level of environmental awareness about the lake and its challenges, as well any “lake-care actions” that are being taken to protect it. They also wanted to know what people liked about it specifically, and how it could be improved. “The survey alone increased the awareness of what Cultus Lake needs to stay healthy.” Nitrates and phosphates levels in the lake water are reportedly growing from sources like bird droppings, fertilizers and sewage that go into the aquatic system. Accordingly, water quality is something that worries 87 per cent of respondents, and 66 per cent Continued: CULTUS/ p9

Western separatist candidate a first for Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon Robert Freeman The Progress A Western Block Party candidate is running for election in Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon, a first for the riding. Clive Edwards, a Chilliwack River Valley resident and film industry professional, said he hopes to find fertile ground for his Western separatist views in this conservative riding. The party was formed in 2005 by lawyer Doug Christie, and its aim is the separation, by referendum, of the four Western provinces from the rest of Canada. “We seem to be in the midst of a police state in the budding,” said Edwards, whose view of Canadian justice was soured after working on the case of an Ontario man whose home was seized by the govern-

inces need to unite, and to disconnect themselves from Ottawa and its reliance on the U.S. dollar and military establishment. “The time is overdue to look at how everything about our country is done,” he said. Edwards has served as president and director of the Chilliwack and District Fish and Game Protective Association, and is an active member of the National Firearms Association, which is opposed to the firearms registry. Edwards lives in the Chilliwack River Valley with his wife, Sharon, and they have two daughters, one of whom works in the film industry, and another who has her own home-based business in Alberta. Edwards was introduced as the party’s candidate in this riding by Doug Christie at a meeting held in the Royal Hotel in July, 2009.

ment after his arrest in 2004 for carrying an unregistered rifle on his back at a gun show. “In the process, I found you can’t count on justice in Canada,” Edwards said. “Prisons are being filled with people that shouldn’t necessarily be there.” Edwards said he started his political life as a member of the Reform Party, initially supporting MP Chuck Strahl, but became disenchanted as the MP morphed into a Conservative Party politician. “He’s a nice man, but he has no influence on (Prime Minister Stephen) Harper,” Edwards said, about Strahl. “Essentially, what we’re doing is voting for puppets,” he said. In Edwards’ view the Canadian political and economic systems are “not fixable, not without de-Confederation.” He said the four Western prov-

Tight rein kept on local teacher talks Most labour negotiations at provincial level Katie Bartel The Progress Chilliwack school district and Chilliwack Teachers’ Association had its first meeting on Wednesday to start local bargaining, but not much was discussed, said CTA president Katharin Midzain. While the process is called local bargaining, it’s “muddy” as to what exactly can be talked about as this is the first time since 1994 negotiations have occurred at the local level. (The contract signed five years ago was done solely at the provincial level.) Under the Public Employer Labour Relations Act (PELRA), negotiations dealing with salaries, benefits, prep time, paid leave, and hours of work are to be done at the provincial table. “Essentially anything that involves money goes through the provincial body,” said Midzain. “But realistically, anything in the contract is going to involve money, even a local item.” Despite the narrow guidelines for what can be discussed at the local level, Midzain hopes Chilliwack school district will be open to indepth Chilliwack-centred discussions. However, she wasn’t holding her breath. At the recent BC Teachers’

Federation annual general meeting, the consensus from teachers in other districts, who had already started negotiations, was that local discussions were essentially being shut down. “There is a question right now about how broad the local table can be,” said Midzain. “And while local matters are already quite narrow, what BCPSEA [British Columbia Public School Employers’ Association] appears to be doing is wanting to narrow them even further.” British Columbia has 60 school districts, some in urban centres, others in remote, rural areas. Each district has their own sets of issues, said Midzain. And because of that, “local bargaining should be local.” The last contract signed five years ago was the only time since the BCTF was turned into a union by the Social Credit government in the 1980s that a contract was negotiated rather than imposed by legislation, usually after a strike in public schools. A recent BCTF survey of teachers showed that class size and special needs support is the top issue for teachers. The current contract expires on June 30.

The broadcast consortium has decided to bar Green party leader Elizabeth May from the 2011 federal leaders’ debates. She learned of this from a Canadian Press reporter, not the consortium, which represents Canada’s largest television networks. Only after public outrage was she included in the 2008 debates, during which she displayed her pit bull persona. Initially, the Conservatives and the NDP refused to participate if she was invited. Now the consortium argues that the Green party has never earned an elected seat in the House of Commons and, therefore, isn’t worthy of airtime, in English or French. We couldn’t disagree more. The Bloc party only runs candidates in Quebec, yet it is allowed to take part in the debates? The Green party is running candidates in all 308 Canadian ridings. Peter Tam is the party’s nominee in Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission, where, in 2008 election, the Greens earned more votes than the Liberals. In all, the Green party garnered close to a million votes, representing one in 10 Canadians, or 6.8 per cent of all votes cast, for which it receives taxpayer money. What party leader would be willing to tell all those voters that their opinions, and dollars, don’t matter? Those opinions largely concern the state of the environment, an issue that will no doubt be part of the leaders’ debates. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and NDP leader Jack Layton are both willing, this time, to accept if Ms. May is included in the debates, which, for the most part, are all bickering. Regardless, the broadcast consortium needs to rethink its arbitrary decision and apologize to Ms. May, and voters, and let her speak. There really is no debating that. – Black Press

Time for that ’70s political show, again VICTORIA – As the federal parliament slid once again into partisan mayhem, former finance minister John Manley was on CBC television, making me wish he would bring his voice of reason back to Ottawa. Liberal and NDP supporters had been taking turns with accusations that the Conservatives’ corporate tax cuts only help the rich. “That’s stuff that we used to hear in the ’70s,” Manley said. “I thought that people had grown away from that.” He then patiently explained that the key holdings most in peoples’ retirement plans are bank, petroleum and other blue-chip stocks. His Liberal government’s strategy of competing for business investment in a global economy has wisely been continued under Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Yet much of our political discourse at all levels of govern-

ment still imagines class warfare between tycoons in silk top hats and a ragged, powerless peasantry. For B.C. voters, 2011 is shaping up as the most politically empowered year ever. The May 2 federal election now gets in line with a by-election for Premier Christy Clark, a referenTom dum on the harFLETCHER monized sales tax, municipal elections in November and potentially, an early provincial election as well. Will all these contests raise the level of debate? So far it doesn’t look good. This fourth federal election in seven years could have had one benefit. But Clark did not see fit to

abandon the hare-brained scheme to rush through the HST referendum in June, and now the B.C. government risks losing the tax argument amid all the noise. If the HST vote had been left to September, more people might come to appreciate that taxes on business investment and income are going out of style. An Angus Reid poll came out last week finding that one third of B.C. residents would now vote to keep the HST, compared to 54 per cent who would take B.C. back to the 1970s. Another contest being overshadowed is the B.C. NDP leadership, and that’s a ’70s show as well. Raising the minimum wage to $10.25 isn’t good enough. Candidate Nicholas Simons tried to raise his profile by suggesting that it should be hiked 50 per cent, to $12. Heck, why not raise it to $20? If you’re stuck in the ’70s and can’t

comprehend the downside of stateimposed prosperity, why not just make poverty history? Federal NDP leader Jack Layton informed an anxious nation that he wouldn’t support the Conservative budget because it doesn’t “lift all seniors out of poverty” or “create” enough doctors so everyone can have one. Cuba has “created” plenty of doctors. Mind you, they get paid $25 a month in addition to their food ration cards, so perhaps that socialist Utopia should raise its minimum wage. I watched another ’70s show last week, attending the B.C. Teachers’ Federation convention at the Victoria Conference Centre. Before Education Minister George Abbott arrived, delegates passed a typically self-righteous resolution demanding all levels of government immediately get rid of poverty. How? Create poverty

reduction plans with measurable goals. Right, kind of like those fiveyear plans for tractor production the Soviet Union had back in the ’70s. Once Abbott arrived to hold out the olive branch, the BCTF’s usual demands resumed. More teachers, more support staff and raises of 10 per cent or more. Does anyone on the BCTF executive know how to synthesize information? Can’t they see a connection between the big raises and staff increases they demand and what’s available for other programs? There’s a clue to our stagnant political debate. It’s largely formed in public schools.

Having driven/rode in a lot of Third World countries (Indonesia, Thailand etc.), here are some tips. 1)Pick vehicles with tinted windows 2)Take off any insignia that says it’s a rental (they didn’t notice or care) 3)Be assertive and borderline insubordinate, they’re not like professional police forces. 4) Negotiate, they don’t want to take you in 5)Carry lots of American ones and fives, 6) If you have a passenger, good

We started at about $30 for speeding but by the end paid $5 to $10 once you know the ropes.

Nomination a democratic process I read with interest your article about the recent Conser vative nomination process, and felt it necessary to set the record straight. First, the National Conservative Campaign Director (not the local party or MP) selected the date when incumbents would announce their intentions about seeking re-election and when the election appeared imminent,

also decided (not the local party or MP) that all ridings that had yet to choose a candidate should hold a nomination meeting forthwith. This proved to be the correct decision, since the opposition parties forced an unnecessary election only four days later. Second, even though the process was shortened because of this impending election,

250 local Conservatives turned out to choose a local candidate in a democratic election. Every other candidate for other parties in Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon were either acclaimed or appointed. Finally, while no one in the Conservative Party of Canada wanted this expensive and unnecessary election, we will now spend the next month or so talking

Right to govern lasts only if Commons has confidence Mark Strahl is quoted in Tuesday’s Progress as saying the opposition will “pay a price for forcing the election on Canadians”. I’m concerned about this as it sounds like a threat and most of us don’t care much to be threatened. It is also a bit odd that voting for your government would be considered something bad that the opposition is forcing Canadians to do – especially when we are watching people throughout the Middle East fighting and dying for just such an opportunity. Any government in Canada’s parliamentary system remains in power only so long as it has the confidence of the House of Commons, and a minority government is almost always on

the verge of losing that. This particular government under Prime Minister Harper has been particularly bone-headed about a whole variety of issues and it surprises me that it has lasted this long. Mr. Strahl goes on to say that MPs should be in Ottawa working on the county’s economic action plan. Let’s recall that going into the recession, Prime Minister Harper had no plan what-so-ever to deal with our economic circumstances - indeed his finance minister had just released a financial plan that had nothing at all in it for dealing with the world recession. During an interview with CBC’s Peter Mansbridge, Prime Minister Harper declared that the recession offered some good investment opportunities

- not something of much help to those facing unemployment. Indeed, were it not for the threat of a Liberal/NDP coalition, the Harper government would have done nothing to help our communities and citizens during these difficult times. So it is more than a little unbecoming for Strahl to suggest that an election is interfering with this government’s attempt to deal with the economic action plan. Mr. Strahl should recognize that it is a wonderful right to be able to elect, in a democratic manner, those we will allow to govern us and that from time to time we must have an opportunity to revisit that matter.

Families of missing women fear further delays of inquiry into Pickton investigation Robert Freeman The Progress An inquiry into B.C.’s missing women has been expanded beyond looking into how police handled the investigation, B.C. AttorneyGeneral Barry Penner announced Monday. But family and friends of the missing women fear the addition of a study inquiry to the commission’s existing hearings will cause further delays. “I’m getting really frustrated because I just want the inquiry to get under way,” said Ernie Crey, whose sister Dawn is one of the missing women. “It’s urgent the inquiry get under way ... and produce recommendations on how policing can be improved so we don’t see a repeat of a Robert Pickton-like tragedy,” he said. Pickton was convicted on six counts of second-degree murder in March last year, and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole for 25 years. But charges were stayed in 20 other cases of women who went missing from Vancouver’s

Downtown East Side. Dawn Crey was among those cases never heard in court, although her DNA was found on Pickton’s Coquitlam farm. But a commission spokesman said the new study inquiry will not delay the start of formal hearings, which have been held up to date because some RCMP documents have not been received. Spokesman Chris Fremond said the study inquiry announced Monday will start June 13 in northern B.C., and travel to other communities in the area over a seven-day period, before moving to Vancouver where the formal hearings will be held. Crey said he originally supported the informal study inquiry so the commission could hear about the social, health and housing policies that “play a role in confining poor, mentally-ill, and drugdependent women in Vancouver’s Downtown East Side. “Forced to live in the DTES makes these women vulnerable to predators like Robert Pickton,” he said. But after the long struggle to get the B.C. government to agree to a

Visitors raise concern for health of Cultus CULTUS from p3 said swimming was the activity that attracted them to the lake in the first place, compared to the next highest ranked activity of birding, walking and hiking. The Cultus use survey is a precursor for a longer-term strategic plan being undertaken by CLASS stakeholders, and part of the idea is increasing awareness and knowledge about the lake. It’s always been a strong magnet for nature lovers, boaters and swimmers with its gorgeous lakeside setting with ample recreational opportunities. With an estimated three million visitors a year flocking to the watershed, that popularity is giving rise to concerns about water quality, fish habitat and invasive species at Cultus. “But visitors are increasing, as will the impacts to Cultus Lake,” she said. “It is very timely to address caring for Cultus Lake.” Asked what they

liked best about Cultus Lake, a large majority of 77 per cent referred to the natural beauty and scenery. By contrast, what they liked least about it included the crowds, noise, inconsiderate behaviour by boaters/ partiers on the beach, which was cited by 68 per cent of respondents. CLASS meets the last Wednesday of the month, and for the location, email mrobinson@ fraserbasin.ca.

public inquiry, Crey said he’s now worried the study inquiry will hold up the start of the formal hearings. “Now with the study inquiry approved, further delays will only serve to hurt and discourage the families most directly affected by the Pickton killings, and those other families still waiting for word on a missing loved one,” he said. The study inquiry will hear submissions without requiring an oath, while the formal commission hearings may make findings of misconduct. The commission will look into how police investigations were conducted into reports of missing women between Jan. 23, 1997 and Feb. 5, 2002. It will also review the January,1998 decision by B.C.’s criminal justice branch to stay charges against Pickton for the assault of a Downtown East Side sex trade worker. Had Pickton been picked up and convicted on that charge, most of the murders would not have taken place. The Vancouver Police Department has already apologized for the mistakes it made in the investigation.

That’s the street wisdom circulating on web discussion forums where motorcycle and car enthusiasts trade tips on how to beat their traffic violation tickets in B.C.’s congested courts.

must hear any challenges based on delay because JPs can’t rule on constitutional matters. “The ministry is aware of the backlog and is considering its options for ways to reduce it,” said attorney general ministry spokesperson Linda Mueller. More staff to enter tickets and schedule hearings would help, she said, but staffing priority goes to the areas of greatest need – criminal cases and serious civil or family law cases. ICBC officials note more than 60 per cent of tickets disputed are upheld in court, although that’s down from 68 per cent found guilty five years ago. And when ticket challengers win, B.C. municipalities lose out. Cities get $63 million a year in traffic fine revenues shared by the province to help with policing costs.

It’s not just traffic ticket dodgers who might otherwise take their lumps and pay up who are emboldened by

delays in the system. Accused criminals and the defence lawyers who represent them increasingly see a good chance to quash cases based on delay, particularly when they see their trial date set 16-plus months away and stacked with multiple other trials on the same day. There’s less incentive to plead guilty – even when the case against the accused looks airtight – or accept an early plea bargain offer from Crown unless it’s attractive. The Justice Delayed report warned the growing case backlog and lengthening delays mean defence lawyers are more motivated to proceed to trial because of the potential for charges to get thrown out over delay and, if the case does go to trial, it becomes harder to prove older allegations as witnesses become harder to round up or their memories fade. “The best defence here is to set the thing for trial,” said Samiran Lakshman, president of the B.C.

you plead guilty in that environment? That same type of analysis and advice is being provided across the province.” Fewer cases being resolved early mean even more pressure is piled on a system already creaking under intense backlogs. “It’s a bit of a catch-22 for the system,” Surrey defence lawyer Marvin Stern said. “The system starts using its resources in hearing these delay applications.” Stern said delays have worsened over the past year. He sometimes shows up to court in Surrey to find his client is one of four trials slated to go ahead in the same courtroom that day. Prosecutors then must decide which trial will proceed and adjourn the rest. That can mean another trial date – sometimes the third one to be set – 20 months or more after charges were laid, a time period that provides strong grounds for dismissal. To avoid that outcome, prosecutors may offer a better plea bargain. Stern gives the example of someone charged with impaired driving and driving with a bloodalcohol level over 0.08 where another trial date adjournment will mean the case will almost certainly be tossed. “They may accept a plea bargain to a charge under the Motor Vehicle Act of driving without due care and attention,”

he said. The driver pays a $368 fine and gets six penalty points but avoids a possible jail term, a criminal record, a oneyear driving prohibition, mandatory safe driving course and required use of an ignition interlock system. “It’s a huge advantage to the client,” Stern said. “When the courts are overbooked, Crown are more likely to do that.” Paul Pearson, a criminal defence lawyer in Victoria and local spokesman for the Canadian Bar Association, said long delays harden the defence bargaining stance. But he rejects suggestions defence lawyers and accused criminals are rubbing their hands in glee over court delays and how they can exploit long waits. “Most people charged with criminal offences stress about that every single day,” Pearson said. “It’s by far the worst thing going on in their life. And they want an answer – yes or no, guilty or not guilty – sooner rather than later.” Lawyers usually aren’t paid more money when they have to make many court appearances, he said, and they must be ready for trial on repeated occasions. “The thousands of people waiting for their trials are agonizing, losing sleep, literally having nightmares every night about the process,” Pearson said. “They don’t make the news. But they’re the ones that are actually paying the price for the delays in the justice system and the lack of judges.”

UFV ‘portal to new world’ UFV from Front So the university sees its role as going “well beyond traditional eduction,” Evered said, to form an integral part of the social, cultural, economic and environmental development of the Fraser Valley. “We owe you a first-class university that serves your region,” he said. UFV has grown in the past 20 years, from a community college holding classes in church basements and storefronts, to a full, degree-granting university because of the tenacity of local residents, Evered said. “We’re no longer a little university,” he said, and pointed to a recently signed agreement with a Dutch university that is just the kind of partnership “with industry, with universities, and with the community ... that’s the

kind of university we’re trying to build.” But he added that funding for UFV will continue to be an issue as government resources are stretched thin. The B.C. government currently contributes $56 million annually, or just over half of UFV’s $100-million budget. Only one-quarter comes from student tuition, the remaining one-quarter is raised by donations and other fundraising endeavors. “The reality is we’re going to have to find other ways to fund our institutions,” Evered said. He asked the business community to take an active role in the university’s goal of serving the region, through donations or by hiring students. “Only together can we make this your university,” he said.

School maintenance funding restored Katie Bartel The Progress After two years of repeated delays, annual maintenance work will soon be back on track in the Chilliwack school district. The B.C. Education Ministry announced on Wednesday it would be restoring full-funding of the annual facilities grant for school districts worth $110 million for the 2011-12 school year. In Chilliwack, that means $2.15 million will be used on necessary school upkeep. “We’re very pleased,” said superintendent Corinne McCabe. The annual facilities grant is used for building maintenance, roof

repairs, interior painting, heating and ventilation upgrades, electrical upgrades, parking lot replacements, field improvements, etc.. In 2009, the government cut AFG funding because of the economic downturn. As a result, Chilliwack school district was forced to delay projects, and later to creatively come up with ways to pay for necessary seismic upgrades that included attaching cabinets to walls, tightening light fixtures, and heating and ventilation

upgrades. Partway through the 2009-10 school year, the government partially restored AFG funding, only providing half funding over two years. “All of our buildings need constant maintenance,” said McCabe. “Getting this [full funding] will allow us to do that much-needed work.” An annual facilities plan is currently being developed and work will commence in the summer.

Sue Northey: Building leaders Susan Northey, a leadership and physical education teacher at Vedder Middle School, is what you’d call a real go-getter. She’s not a procrastinator, but an engaging, outgoing, self-motivated, focused and get ’er done kind of person. Sue is a natural leader who has the ability to inspire her students and to enable them to discover that they too have leadership skills. “I want them to discover that they have what it takes to become exceptional leaders. I want them to discover the leader within them,” she enthused. Although Sue was born and raised in Toronto, she’s far from your stereotypical Torontonian. Her warm, friendly, bubbly and empathetic nature is quite fitting given her position and her students respond appreciatively. Sue enjoyed school although she had to work hard for her marks. She admits, with a rather broad smile, that she Ana was a very social student. While MACEDO her father was an electrician, her mother was a phys-ed teacher and she inspired Sue to pursue a teaching career. “I wanted to be a kindergarten teacher for the longest time but eventually I decided to follow in my mother’s footsteps and become a P.E. teacher,” she smiled. Sue recognizes that she has never been a jock but she’s passionate about self confidence, healthy living and the correlation between that and physical education. After graduation, Sue went on to McMaster University for her undergraduate degree and then to London Western for her teaching degree. It was while she was attending McMaster that she met future husband. He was a football player and was doing speed work with the track team and Sue just happened to be a member of

Sue Northey believes in helping students find their inner leader. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

that team. He ended up joining the Canadian Military, the coupled married and in 1989 they were posted to Chilliwack. They settled in nicely, Sue took on a job with the Abbotsford School District but made her way to Vedder Middle soon after. “It was a job that I thoroughly enjoyed but then we were posted to Petawawa. I wasn’t going to tell my husband to leave the military any more than he was going to tell me to leave teaching but he ended up deciding to leave the military. Chilliwack became home,” she said. Sue taught science for about 10 years and enjoyed the classroom setting but with her energy and motivation she began teaching phys-ed and leadership. She enjoys having the ability to challenge her students to be the best that they can be. “Leadership is about personal growth. The students are encouraged to lead a healthy lifestyle and there is certainly a component of service. In serving others, you grow and you learn. You have power; you have the power to change. You also need to find balance,” she explained. Creating balance in our life is difficult whether you’re the student or the teacher, the parent or the child, the employee or the employer. Prioritizing our goals can be so difficult especially when there are constant demands on our time. We need to work on fulfilling

a balanced life. Sue struggles with finding balance; as a wife, mother to two teenage sons, teacher, friend and coach there’s little time for her. “I have to make the time. It’s important,” she said convincingly. Sue is heavily involved in coaching both cross county and track and field. She coached for Chilliwack Track and Field, the Valley Royals in Abbotsford and is currently coaching at Trinity Western University. “I try and run three times a week. I’ll get up at five in the morning and go for a run and I also try and support local runs like the Run for Mom and the Terry Fox Run. I’ve done the Sun Run many times but supporting the local ones is important,” she said. Aside from struggling to find the ideal balance in her life, Sue would like to do more coaching in the future, including coaching for Olympic athletes. Her heroes include Terry Fox, Canadian activist for the rights of children, Craig Kielburger and Steve Nash. “Terry Fox is my ultimate then Craig followed by Steve. Terry is a great example of leadership. He made his decision, got to work and achieved the impossible. Craig is a Canadian who was just 12 when he began to fight for the rights of children. He founded Free the Children and cofounded Me to We and down the road I’d like to get more involved in his organization,” she said passionately.

thieves who steal them. The new tactic aims to cut down the theft of more than 500 trailers stolen in B.C. each year. That theft rate has held steady, while the successful bait car program is credited with helping dramatically chop auto theft rates by 65 per cent since 2003. The number of vehicles stolen last year fell 22 per cent from 2009. Thefts from within vehicles dropped 15 per cent.

via websites. Manufactured trailers must have a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), Elias said, and any buyer who encounters a trailer without one and suspects it’s stolen should contact police. IMPACT also released a video showing the arrest last summer of thieves who stole a bait trailer and truck and were tracked by police helicopter through Langley and Surrey, until they were captured in Cloverdale. Since the bait car program was launched in 2002, it has expanded to include motorcycles, ATVs, boats and snowmobiles as well.

“A host of different types of trailers are now armed with hidden GPS technology and will be planted throughout British Columbia just waiting to be stolen,” said Sgt. Gord Elias of the Integrated Municipal Provincial Auto Crime Team (IMPACT). “They will look just like any other trailer and will come in many makes, models, sizes and colours,” he said. “We’re going to move them around and change them up wherever they’re needed.” Elias said stolen trailers, which can range from cargo or utility trailers to recreational ones, are often sold privately through ads and

Zhang is accused of finding cars for sale on craigslist and then stealing them during test drives. He was the driver in a 2006 hit-and-run in downtown Vancouver that killed a vacationing doctor from New Zealand. Christopher Paul Black, second on the list, is dubbed the “puppy-punching car thief” because officers spotted him punching a defenseless dog in the head

Travel

Now peaceful, Rathlin Island has a bloody past Mitchell Smyth Meridian Writers’ Group RATHLIN ISLAND, Ireland – “Tranquil. So peaceful,” said the Englishman as we sipped pints in McCuaig’s Bar. He had just returned from a walking tour of Northern Ireland’s only inhabited offshore island. “Tranquil” indeed! How could he have guessed, as he wandered the unpaved lanes on this speck of land in the Sea of Moyle, between Ireland and Scotland, that this place was steeped in blood, the blood of islanders put to the sword by the Vikings, by the English, by the Scots? But that’s all in the past. Today’s “invaders” come for the peacefulness—and to see the birds. The rock stacks

and coves on the western tip of the island are home to thousands and thousands of guillemots, razorbills, shearwaters, fulmars, kittiwakes and puffins, and even the odd golden eagle. There’s also excellent diving. Through the centuries dozens of ships have foundered in these waters and these are an irresistible lure for the scuba crowd. For a long time Rathlin was pretty well undiscovered, since there was only a poor service, by fishing boat, from Ballycastle on the mainland. But now there’s a modern ferry and the tourists are finding the island. Mind you, it’s still no Cancun. It gets a few hundred visitors every summer and, so far, that’s the way Rathlin wants it. It has a couple of guesthouses and McCuaig’s pub, and

some of the farmers’ wives take in bed-andbreakfast visitors. There’s also a hostel, restored with help from Virgin Airlines boss Richard Branson in gratitude to the two island men, Tommy Cecil and Neil McFaul, who saved him from death when his balloon ditched in the sea at the end of his transatlantic flight in 1987. Rathlin, shaped like an L, with “arms” six kilometres and four kilometres long, is about 1.5 kilometres across. It’s roughly 10 kilometres from the Irish mainland and twice that distance from Scotland’s Mull of Kintyre, but the Scots used to claim it. In the 16th century it was inhabited by the Scots clan MacDonnell (or McDonald), to the chagrin of their ancestral foes, the Campbells. Walking east from

the harbour you can pause on a rise in the road and see where the Campbells gave vent to that chagrin. The little valley below is called Lag an Vista Voir, which means “the hollow of the great defeat,” and the hill in the background is Croc na Screidlin, “the hill of screaming.” Here, in 1642, the Campbells slew most of the male islanders while the women and children watched before they, too, were killed. Monks set up a refuge on Rathlin in the Dark Ages, but the Vikings put an end to that, amid much bloodshed. Much later, the English sea dog Sir Francis Drake presided over a massacre of MacDonnells. So don’t mention Drake with any degree of admiration here. Centuries earlier,

Robert the Bruce of Scotland hid out here before returning to Scotland to lead his army to Scottish independence in 1314. A ruin called Bruce’s Castle is, legend has it, where he stayed.

Ice Cube bringing the hip hop heat to Chilliwack Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Rap legend Ice Cube will be at the Landing Sports Centre on Spadina Avenue in Chilliwack on April 12.

It’s going to be completely out of whack. L.A. rapper Ice Cube is coming to the ‘Wack April 12, at the Landing Sports Centre on Spadina Avenue. The alcohol-free event is almost an all-ages show with its 15+ entry rule, says presenter J.T. Pangli of Clydesdale Entertainment in Abbotsford. Special guests will include Swollen Members, and DJ Chrome. “People are surprised to hear a big act like Ice Cube is coming to Chilliwack,” he says. To present the well-known performer, the 28-year-old entrepreneur says he made sure he did his home work and due diligence to provide a unique concert experience for the community. There will be a security force of 20, some RCMP presence at the live show, and parents are welcome to come. What about Ice Cube’s violent gangsta image? “When he was younger maybe that was the direction he was going, but he’s a business man,” Pangli tells the Progress. “He can separate the image, the art and the music. These days, he’s not trying to send the wrong message.” The Abbotsford-based entrepreneur started Clydesdale Entertainment a couple of years ago, and he’s been trying to grow it slowly with a few successes under his belt. For the Ice Cube show, Pangli says he’s spending thousands on security to make sure it’s as safe an environment as it can be, and he’s got a staff of 30 to 50 on call. The reason why he’s bringing Ice Cube to Chilliwack instead of Abbotsford where he was originally booked, had to

do with his equally busy filming schedule coming into conflict with the Abby date. The rapper is on-set filming the big screen version of the TV cop show Jump Street. His birth name was O’Shea Jackson before he legally changed it to Ice Cube, and he’s known for songs like ‘We be Clubbin’ or ‘It Was a Good Day.’ Ice Cube got noticed as a member of C.I.A. and then in the 90s with his controversial band N.W.A, before going solo and continuing to work on his searing lyrics and menacing scowl. He’s also an actor, screenwriter, producer and director in film and television. He owns his own record label and production company. Meanwhile back in the valley, Pangli went to work filling out the paper work and having advance meetings to find a way to make a Chilliwack performance by the rap artist feasible. “Why not keep it in the valley I thought, where local businesses can benefit, as well?” Other hip hop, R&B and country acts may be coming down the pipe as long as this concert production is a success. He hopes the community will come out in droves for a Tuesday night rap show in the old Ag-Rec building, with a capacity for 1,500. Positive feedback has been pouring in from the Facebook page (search ‘Ice Cube Live in Concert!’) and Twitter especially from his target audience: the 15-to-35 demographic. Pangli is shooting for the moon. “This show is a real experiment,” Pangli says. “We need to see if there’s interest for future reference, and with community support we can go even bigger next time.” Ice Cube, April 12, Landing Sports Centre on Spadina Avenue, 8 p.m. $45 tickets at Fuel Clothing, ticket hotlines 604-832-4007 or 604-845-3590.

entertained, says director Randy Newbury. “It really brings out all the beauty, the opulence and the magic of the classical Broadway musical,” he says. “It’s that feeling you get that makes you say it just became your favourite show. That’s when it sticks with you for the rest of your life.” Newbury does double-duty as director and choreographer, with a special tap number choreographed by local dance instructor Karry Kozak. Drowsy Chaperone is told from the modern-day perspective of a musical theatre fan, known simply as Man in Chair. It opened on Broadway in 2006. To chase away the blues, Man in Chair puts on a record from the 1928 musical comedy, The Drowsy Chaperone, and the characters come to life before his eyes, appearing in his apartment. “The music makes him feel better,” Newbury says. “And the day that you decide to go to the theatre, Man in Chair decides to play his music.” The story unfolds of a pampered Broadway starlet who decides to give up her show biz career for love. Her producer tries to sabotage the impending nuptials which results in hilarious antics involving her chaperone, the debonair groom, the ditzy chorus girl, the Latin lover and a pair of pun-loving gangsters masquerading as pastry chefs. There is everything from mistaken identities, to old-fashioned spit-takes. Man in Chair’s love of The Drowsy Chaperone Continued: GUILD/ p28

Many factors can lead to lean muscle erosion, and thankfully the most important, lack of use (exercise) is within your control. If muscles are not constantly challenged, they weaken. In as little as two months of the right exercise, you can build strong, healthy muscles, regardless of your age. To maintain strength and prevent fat gain, perform muscle building exercises at least 2 times per week. Lifting weights, either at the gym or at home, is an excellent way to build muscle. Day to day activities such as carrying groceries, and washing your car can also help maintain muscle mass. Aerobic exercise such as walking, running and biking are important to chal-

Rumours Bruin Eric J. Welsh, The Progress

Robin Soudek had one of the Chilliwack goals Wednesday night as the Bruins shocked the Spokane Chiefs 4-3 in overtime in game three of their Western conference playoff series. Should the Bruins manage to force a game six, it will be played Sunday night (5 p.m.) at Prospera Centre. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Sundher stars in overtime win The Chilliwack Bruins came off the ropes with an unlikely victory Wednesday night, shocking the Spokane Chiefs 4-3 in overtime in game three of their first round Western Hockey League playoff series. It wasn’t the win itself that was so incredible, it was the manner in which it was achieved. Goaltender Lucas Gore made 54 saves to keep his Bruins alive, and his teammates responded by erasing a three goal third-period deficit. Kevin Sunder scored the winner in OT, ensuring that this series will go at least five games. Spokane still leads 2-1 heading into Thursday’s game four, which takes place after Progress press deadlines. The Chiefs out-shot the Bruins 110-50 through the first two games, and continued that trend in the first period of this one. Spokane fired 22 pucks

at Gore, getting goals from Anthony Bardaro and Tyler Johnson. Bardaro netted his first of the series at 8:33. Less than three minutes later, Johnson got a pass from linemate Levko Koper and, with a lighting quick release, snapped a shot under the cross-bar for his second of the series. The Chiefs got the only goal in the middle frame, with defenceman Cole Hamblin pulling the trigger on his first of the playoffs. Johnson was indirectly involved in the play, lying on the ice after a Tyler Stahl elbow knocked him off his skates. With a delayed penalty coming up, Hamblin pinched down from the point to finish off a centering feed from Koper. Stahl earned a five minute elbowing major and game misconduct for his hit on Johnson, but Gore was Chilliwack’s best

penalty killer, helping his team snuff out the major without incident. Johnson did not return to the game. The Bruins comeback started early in the final frame, with Ryan Howse doing the damage. The 51-goal scorer followed his own shot to the net, punching in a huge rebound for his first of the playoffs. The Howse tally snapped a 114 minute goal-less drought for Chilliwack. Howse left the ice slowly after the goal and missed the next shift. But he was back on the ice when the Bruins went to a four-minute power play, courtesy a Brady Brassart check from behind on Blair Wentworth. Chilliwack’s PP (0-for-11 in games one and two) finally came through with a clutch goal, cutting into the Spokane lead on a goal by Robin

Soudek. Kevin Sundher fed rookie Brandon Magee, who did a great job taking the puck to the net. Soudek followed the play and popped the rebound past Reid for his first of the playoffs, cutting the deficit to 3-2 with just over 10 minutes to play. The Bruins completed the unlikely comeback two minutes later. Dylen McKinlay’s pass found Sundher in full flight, streaking up the left wing. The 18-year-old went to the backhand, beating Reid to silence the Spokane crowd. Gore made one final game-saving stop on Mitch Holmberg to get his team to sudden-death overtime, where Sundher came through with his game winner. Just 3:20 into extra time the Surrey speedster used his speed to get a partial breakaway, finishing the play with a top shelf shot.

The irony is not lost on former Chilliwack mayor Clint Hames, who has spent plenty of time lately thinking about the parallels of yesterday and today. In the present, the Western Hockey League team he helped bring to Chilliwack is rumoured to be leaving, with some media sources reporting sale and relocation to Victoria as a ‘done deal.’ B.C.’s capital is being cast in the same light as Chilliwack was six years ago, a market of vast untapped potential ready for major junior hockey. Chilliwack’s star has dimmed, to the point where it now plays the role of the Tri-City Americans, circa 2005 — a market with dwindling attendance and unrealized potential that may soon find itself abandoned by the league it embraced. We know the Americans dodged the relocation bullet, their ownership group granted an expansion franchise in the Fraser Valley. It appears increasingly unlikely that Chilliwack will be so lucky. What bothers Hames the most is the way it appears to be playing out. “There were serious and substantial offers to buy the team and keep it in Chilliwack and I made both Brian Burke (Bruins co-owner) and Ron Robison (WHL comissioner) aware of this,” he said, referring to a publicized offer led by Bruins co-owners Moray Keith and Jim Bond. “Brian Burke confirmed to me that they were not considering any other offers - for whatever reason. He, (Darryl) Porter and (Glen) Sather have a controlling interest in the team, so what Moray and Jim Bond wanted wouldn’t matter as they were minority shareholders.” Unconfirmed reports this week had the Keith bid sitting well above a bid from Victoria businessman Graham Lee of RG Properties, and Keith has gone on record stating his group is willing and able to out-bid anything that isn’t completely outlandish. “If the team is sold to Victoria, it flies in the face of what the league has said publicly,” Hames noted. “Mr. Robison has said that the league’s preference is not to move teams. If the team still moves with a bona fide offer in place to keep it in Chilliwack, this would seem to be an rather erroneous and questionable statement by the commissioner.” Hames holds out hope that the situation can be salvaged and he maintains his belief that the WHL can flourish in Chilliwack, given the right circumstances. “Unfortunately, the combination of team performance and a period of economic downturn hurt the team, with the Abbotsford Heat issue having a marginal impact,” he said. “I am sure that Moray and Jim (and the community) would like to see the WHL remain, and clearly, there are other people like (Minnesota Twins baseball player) Justin Morneau who also believe in this market. The fact that there was at least one serious offer on the table to keep the team in Chilliwack meant that there is belief in the market.”

Teenage soccer star wows the Whitecaps Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Brody Huitema has been on a rocket ride to soccer stardom over the last four years, reaching dizzying heights rarely seen by Chilliwack-born soccer players. And now, he’s heading into truly uncharted territory with acceptance into the Vancouver Whitecaps residency program. After running through a six-month evaluation gauntlet, Huitema has been identified as one of the best of the best. Starting in August, he will be moving to Burnaby and immersing himself full-time in a professional soccer environment. “With my club teams in Chilliwack and Coquitlam it was more about the team, whereas with this program it’s more individual,” Huitema said. “They’re going to find your attributes and weaknesses and make you stronger to make you the best player you can be. Training in the professional environment is the biggest thing, really.” He found out first through an e-mail. A letter arrived at his house the next day. His parents made sure the moment was suitably dramatic. “Everyone got an e-mail the same day, and my dad (Roger) got it on his I-Phone while I was working on my Spanish project,” Huitema laughed. “They didn’t tell me until I was done. Then they called me into the kitchen and told me to sit down. They kind of did it American Idol-Ryan Seacrest style, and when they finally told me I was so excited.” One of two B.C. players to make the final list of 18 to 22 players, Huitema will billet in Vancouver and transfer from Chilliwack secondary school to Burnaby Central. He will train a minimum five times a week at the Whitecaps Training Centre at Simon Fraser University, mixing on-field practice with indoor fitness sessions. He will play in the USL Premier Development League, a major stepping stone to Major League Soccer. “I’m known around the U-16 league for my heading ability, and because I’m a bit bigger I tend to be good at using my strength and

positioning to push people off the ball,” Huitema said, providing a scouting report on his skill-set. “Definitely, the Whitecaps program is going to help with my fitness level, and then I’m going to get a lot of position-specific instruction on how to be a good striker.” Huitema has worked his butt off to get where he is, and his soccer resume speaks to his dedication. The six-foot and 165 pound striker spent 2005-09 playing for Chilliwack FC’s Selects squad. In 2008 he became the first Chilliwack player in 14 years to be selected to the provincial team. Huitema has spent four years with that team, leading them in scoring the last three seasons. From 2009-11 he played for the Coquitlam MetroFord U-16 Selects, leading the entire league in scor-

ing this year, and his soccer exploits have led him to tournaments all over North America and Europe. The whole thing has taken a tremendous amount of financial commitment, approximately $5,000 a year from parents Roger and Julie. The time commitment has been extraordinary, with hours spent on the road each day going back and forth to Coquitlam. “An hour and a half there and an hour and a half back, all for a two hour session,” he said. “It says a lot about the dedication of my mom and dad to get me to this point, and now it’s up to me. It’s going to be tough leaving home, not having mom to push me to do homework. But it’s exciting too, kind of a step into adulthood.” Even with all he accomplished and the even-keel attitude he possesses,

Huitema found the evaluation process unnverving. Whitecaps evaluators were everywhere for six months, clipboards in hand at club and provincial games plus their own evaluation camps. “This is really the first time I’ve seen 10 coaches out there watching me,” Huitema said. “It’s tough, but you have to put them out of your mind. If you’re focussing on the guys on the sidelines and thinking about the mistakes you could make, you’re going to make them. If you put it all out of your head, you can play your game, and hopefully that’s enough.” Quietly confident, his selection for the Whitecaps program is proof of what Huitema has suspected all along — if he plays his best, he truly belongs among the elite. “There were a lot of B.C.

kids in the evaluation, and I knew most of them so there wasn’t a lot of intimidation,” he said. “But there were a lot of guys I didn’t know from around Canada and the U-S. Before the final camp, I wondered if I could beat them. But making the program is huge for my confidence.” Huitema was at Empire Stadium two weekends ago for the Vancouver Whitecaps home opener against Toronto FC. The Whitecaps won the game 4-2 and Huitema was blown away by the atmosphere. “It was a crazy atmosphere, a lot better than what it was when they played at Swangard,” he said. “The fans go crazy and the stadium is so big. My main goal is to make it as a pro and I can definitely picture myself, one day, playing there.” It’s worth noting that 37 of the 54 players selected in

this year’s MLS SuperDraft spent time in the PDL, including eight of the top 10 picks. For a kid who dreams of a pro career first and foremost, any program that lands him in the PDL is a very, very good start. But Huitema is forwardthinking enough to know a pro career is far from a given. Many things can go wrong between here and there. “To get university scholarships is another goal,” the soft-spoken 15-year-old said of plan B. “If I can get a soccer scholarship and an academic scholarship, that would be the ultimate. I’d like to be a business lawyer and maybe one day own my own business.” Get more info on the Whitecaps Residency Program online at http:// club.whitecapsfc.com/pdl/ info/.

The T he North West Whitewater Kayak season began three weeks ago with competitors from Washington, Oregon and B.C. competing for overall honours. Chilliwack athletes Jon Allen, Jazmyne Denhollander and Sam Fletcher have competed in races on the Cedar River in Washington and the Deschutes River in Oregon. Denhollander took first in the K1 class at the Cedar River race. Allen placed first in both men’s K1 senior races and Fletcher placed second in both K1 junior men’s races. Allen and Fletcher teamed up at both events for the K2 class, placing third and second respectfully. Kayakers and canoers from the Pacific Northwest and Alberta now gather in Chilliwack Sunday to compete in the annual Rich Weiss Memorial Kayak race. Top competitors this weekend will be in line to earn spots on the B.C. team that competes at the Canadian National Team Trials and Championships. Chilliwack k has three gated kayak runs and will be hosting the 2011 Canadian National Championships on the Chilliwack River (Tamihi run) from Aug. 1-7.

FOR ALL YOUR CAKE DECORATING NEEDS

On track in Agassiz Get ready for lots of noise, lots of speed and a few accident as the 2011 racing season gets underway at Agassiz Speedway. The first races run April 30 and local driver Robert Adams will be providing exclusive regular coverage in the Chilliwack Progress sports section. Today, he has a look at three local drivers, himself included, who could make serious noise in 2011. This year, Agassiz Speedway offers a variety of racing styles; late model racing, street stocks, minis, hornet class, midget and hitto-pass. Hit to pass is a perennial fan-favourite, coming as close as possible to full contact racing without crossing the line into demolition derby. Several Chilliwack drivers will be regular contenders for the checkered flag. Before the season starts, let’s introduce you to three key Hornet drivers, all from Chilliwack. These three will be competing against 35 other cars for the championship over the summer season. Hornets are your basic entry level car, and most of them remain stock. These Hornets are four-cylinder cars of all makes, all painted black or yellow When 20 of them get on the track at the same time, it really does sound a lot like a swarm of hornets taking to flight. Garry Radford #98 Racing a 2000 Acura Integra, Garry has dominated races over the past few years, including an overall Hornet class championship in 2006. He raced mini-stock for several years, and has raced at almost a dozen other tracks throughout B.C. and the United States. In 2009,

he finished third overall. Bad luck relegated him to a fifth place showing last year. Curtis Williams #41 If Williams has his way, Radford will be eating dust all year. Williams was just one car behind his nemesis in 2006, and then stepped up to take the championship in 2007. Switching to a 1996 Honda Del Sol helped him finish fourth overall in 2009 and third in 2010. Like Radford, his title hopes were derailed by bad luck. Williams and Radford have a strong working relationship with Ideal Auto Wrecking, allowing them access to excellent parts and support. These two are consistently at each other’s fenders as they hit the track. In fact, their qualifying times for the 2009 championship race were separated by twothousands of a second! Robert Adams #61 Previous experience in figure-eight racing at the PNE brings out some excellent evasive skills, which are sometimes useful on the Agassiz track. Over the past few years, Adams has moved from C to B and now A class Hornet. He was B class champion in 2008. Halfway through the 2010 racing season, he moved from a Honda to a 1994 Ford Probe, which helped him move up a class. Expect him to be in contention this year, as he tunes this ride to give maximum output and cornering. Over the past year, he has reduced his lap times by almost a full second, helping him to place seventh overall in 2010. The goal is top five in 2011. The three drivers above expect some competitors to do their best

to get around them, but they feel they will take the rest of the Hornets by storm. Radford and Williams may be in line to take first and second overall in the 2010 season, with Adams not far behind. Watch our exclusive cov-

astroadvice ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, it will be a momentous week and you’re not sure what to expect. Take your camera along and document everything because it promises to be memorable. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, stop and sit for a few minutes because there won’t be much time for that in the days to come. Things will be moving at a breakneck pace. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, there are more opportunities for success this week than you originally thought. If you devote a few hours each day, you will see your goals realized

faster. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, asking for help isn’t always easy, but you may have to open up and solicit friends or family for a little assistance. You will be able to repay the favor soon. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, be cognizant of how your tone of voice can infer meaning into what you are saying. If you’re trying to keep something a secret, you have to be careful. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, if you’re down in the dumps it’s high time you change your situation. It

Now is the time to appreciate all of your good fortune. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 There’s little time for staying put, Scorpio. You have a lot of things to accomplish even though one big thing has been taken care of. It could put a strain on your finances. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 With the tax-filing deadline on the horizon, it is wise to get all your financial ducks in a row, Sagittarius. If you’ve put off anything, now is the time to get it tackled. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, unexpected problems at home continue to try your patience. There is no way to avoid the situation, so you simply have to deal with it for the time being. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Something is bound to upset the apple cart this week, Aquarius. How you deal with it will go a long way to showing others how you operate under pressure. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Take the initiative at work, Pisces. Show your boss that you have the desire to get ahead and the brains to go with the package.

MUNRO Eileen Isabelle

1931-2011 With sadness, the family of Eileen Munro (nee Johnson) announces she quietly left us MUNRO in the presence of the caring staff at the Bradley Centre, on March 29th. She joins her only true love, Bill Munro, who died in 2006. Brothers Melvin, Harvey, Walter, Gordon and sister Dorothea also predeceased her. She will be missed by her devoted sisters, Mavis and Joyce of Alberta, and numerous nieces and nephews who all remember her as a wonderful auntie. Blessed with a

pleasant demeanor and sharp wit, she successfully fought through many years of poor health with smiles and laughter. Born July 1931 in Morse, Saskatchewan, she was the youngest child in a family of eight. When she was a young girl, her family moved to Moose Jaw where she later met and married Bill. The couple spent much of their married life living in Regina and Saskatoon. In retirement, they moved to BC and eventually settled in Chilliwack, where they especially loved the countryside and mountain views, not to mention the mild winters. The family extend heartfelt thanks to all the medical staff of CGH emergency as they expertly tended to her complex health issues so often over recent months. Also, we are grateful to the nursing staff on 4 North for their sensitive attention to Eileen this past week. Eileen was quick to praise the Bradley Centre staff where she lived, who despite their workloads, always took time to meet her needs with skill and gentleness. We honour her request to hold no service in her memory. Instead, we simply ask those who so wish, to do a special kindness to another and remember her smile. The tide recedes, but leaves bright seashells in the sand. The sun goes down, yet gentle warmth still lingers on the land. The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains… For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains. Henderson’s Funeral Homes & Crematorium Ltd. 45901 Victoria Avenue, Chilliwack, British Columbia (604) 792.1344

TUBBS Edward (Ted)

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of my devoted husband and our loving father, grandfather and greatgrandfather. After proudly serving in the Canadian Armed forces for over thirty years we returned to our home in Chilliwack but never did make it back to square dancing. Ted had discovered his love for music and was continually amazed by the marvelous gift for singing that Our Lord had given him. He became an avid member of our church choir and the Chilliwack Festival Chorus. When he was coerced into performing in musical theatre, a new talent surfaced bringing enjoyment to him and many others. Our heartfelt thanks to our doctor, Bev, Jen and the nurses of Chilliwack General Hospital 4 South, for their excellent care and for all you did to make his last wish come true. A service of remembrance will be held at St. Thomas Anglican Church, April 9th at 2:00 pm. In lieu of ﬂowers donations to the Saint Thomas Building Fund would be appreciated.
