The well-used skate park near Twin Rinks had been the subject of several complaints, she noted. “We’ve done our best to address those issues before they became a huge problem, and before we go ahead and build a new one,” she said. “There was an outpouring of concern by some who didn’t think the (skate park) use was compatible with oldage pensioners, an emergency operations centre, ham radio operators, and the new library.” During the public consultation process earlier this summer, city officials got an earful from residents concerned about size of the new skate park, as well as possible conflicts with neighbours over noise and other issues.

Up, Up and away with Super Dave Katie Bartel The Progress Oh crud. We haven’t even left the ground and I’m already biting my bottom lip, trying to ignore the sickening pit in my belly. Dave Mathieson has just outlined ‘Plan B’ for me. And while a backup plan in most situations is a good thing, maybe not so in a high-flying, stunt-performing, aerobatic plane. Mathieson – known in most circles as Super Dave – has been flying planes for 25 years. He has 15,000 hours of commercial flight experi-
ence, but only two years aerobatic experience. Can I really trust him? His mom says so. On the back of Super Dave’s black coveralls is his mom’s stamp of approval: Voted #1 Aerobatic Pilot in Canada (by his Mom) Back to Plan B. A heavy red parachute kit is strapped over my shoulders and up through my legs. In the event of a “catastrophe,” I am to pull the metal lever positioned to the left of my breastbone.

B.C. gang strategy working, safety minister says Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – B.C.’s two-year-old “gangs and guns” strategy is working, and the province will continue to do its share to maintain it, Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond says. Bond issued a statement Tuesday after community leaders questioned whether federal funds for Kelowna’s 16-member anti-gang squad would continue beyond this fall. A similar unit was also set up in Prince George after a string of gang-related shootings
in B.C., with a three-year commitment shared by the federal and provincial governments. “Over 200 organized crime and gang members and associates have been arrested and charged with more than 400 serious offences since we brought in the gangs and guns strategy in February 2009,” Bond said. “Since 2008-2009 our government invested B.C.’s full $53.3 million share of the Police Officer Recruitment Fund for additional policing positions dedicated to combating gun, gang and orga-
nized crime. I can assure you, the province is committed to the continuing funding of these dedicated resources.” Kelowna was rocked Sunday by a brazen daytime shooting in the driveway of a lakefront hotel. Abbotsford gang leader Jonathan Bacon was killed and a member of the Hells Angels was seriously injured when their Porsche SUV was raked with automatic weapon fire from another vehicle. Two women in the Porsche were also hit by gunfire, and a fifth occupant, believed to be another drug
gang associate, escaped on foot. Armed gang violence was being reported beyond Metro Vancouver by 2009. At that time, former premier Gordon Campbell announced the Kelowna and Prince George gang and weapon squads, along with $185 million to add 304 more cells to the overcrowded B.C. prison system. That announcement included 180 spaces at a new Lower Mainland Pre-Trial Centre, which was opposed by Burnaby politicians and moved to an expansion of the existing Surrey Pretrial Centre.
It also included 20 more spaces at Prince George Correctional Centre and 104 additional spaces at Alouette Correctional Centre for Women in Maple Ridge. Later in 2009, B.C. moved to restrict the sale of body armour to law enforcement members and licensed security guards and private investigators. Kelowna RCMP Supt. Bill McKinnon said in October 2009 that body armour was being used in armed robberies there. Body armour and automatic weapons Continued: SHOOTING/ p5

Greendale Country Sampler organizer Holly McKeen feeds apples to her black Angus beef herd on her farm. This year’s event, featuring 14 different attractions and locations, is Aug. 20 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Greendale Country Sampler takes root Katie Bartel The Progress Seven years ago the Greendale Country Sampler was but a blip on the brains of a few local home-based business owners. Now, it’s a bustling community event. This Saturday marks the sixth annual Greendale Country Sampler, which this year is featuring 14 homegrown, home-based businesses all located in the Greendale area. Some of the finds along the way include homemade soaps, pottery, sculptures, garden tours, greenhouse flowers, cheese, honey and even earthworms. Yes, earthworms.
Finding unique, new businesses to keep the event fresh each year hasn’t been difficult. “Greendale has grown,” said Holly McKeen, owner of Greendale Pottery and Country Guest House; one of the original participating businesses. “It has such a nice variety of people and little businesses and everyone seems to want to celebrate it. When it comes sampler time, it hasn’t been hard at all to get people on board ... they’re clamouring to be a part of it.” Books like the 100-Mile Diet and shows like the Food Network’s 100-Mile Challenge, which focus on local eating, have helped boost the sampler’s success.

however, the sampler, which brings in anywhere from 200 to 500 people, doesn’t compare to other events like the Slow Food Cycle Tour, which attracts upwards of 1,000 people, many of who come from the city. That’s the way organizers like it. “We’ve grown in numbers to a point,” said McKeen. “But this is a smaller event, it’s more of a community event.” And because of that, it’s lesscrowded and more intimate. For a full list of participating businesses, and a map, visit the sampler website at www. greendalesampler.com.

More people are becoming interested in buying and eating local, said McKeen. “This day is exciting because it allows the community a behind-the-scenes look, they’re able to meet the producers, see the farms, share the lifestyle. You wouldn’t believe how many people come in and say they had no idea there was so much they could get right here in Greendale.” The sampler started with eight businesses, and now showcases 14 businesses plus three sponsors. On the day, there are tours and demonstrations, kids’ attractions, educational fare, food sampling and more. In terms of solid numbers,

A garbage-habituated bear at a Chilliwackarea trailer park had to be destroyed by a conservation officer. An officer had already been dispatched to the Cultus Lake Village mobile home park, and was due to arrive, when a resident’s call came in to the The Progress. Park resident Virginia Bast wanted to know why a bear was still languishing inside the trap — a day after it was caught. “No one has come to pick up the bear,” she said. “When the sun hits that trap this afternoon, it will heat up quickly and it has no water.” The bear had reportedly been locked in the trap since 10 p.m. the night before. “Yes, there is a bear in the trap and we’ve got an officer en route,” confirmed Steve Jacobi, of the Conservation Officer Service, in charge of the Fraser Valley zone, a bit before the noon hour on Wednesday. Leaving the animal in the trap “overnight is very normal,” he said. “But it’s not that common for them to be left until noon. It’s a little late because we had to bring another officer in.” There are five conservation officers in this zone, working out of two offices. “This bear has to be destroyed,” he said. “It’s unfortunate that it became habituated to garbage and now has become a threat to public safety.” The bear isn’t scared away by the presence of humans, and that becomes a concern. “They can become protective of a food source like garbage, and then they’re more dangerous.” A fed bear is a dead bear? “You could say that,” Jacobi agreed. Conservation officers will be working with the trailer park management to clean up the garbage and waste management situation, to prevent wildlife/human conflicts. “Garbage is the biggest problem when it comes to bears,” he said. Residents can take simple preventative steps like removing pet food, compost, or bird feeders from their backyards, and securing garbage. jfeinberg@theprogress.com

The air cools. The plane speeds up. We’re heading straight into the face of a treelined mountain. Does he even know? Can he see the mountain? How can he with me in the front? I grab hold of the lever. I squeeze my eyes shut. I make promises to every god I can think of as long as they keep me alive. The world is spinning, my guts are stuck in my throat, oh crud, this is it. I open my eyes. “How did you like that?” Super Dave laughs into the microphone. “Want to go again?” He does a 360 roll with the plane, then flips it to one side, then quickly reefs it over to the other. My stomach flips and lurches right along with it. I love it. The 20-minute flight I had is only a small glimpse into what people can expect to see from Super Dave this weekend at Chilliwack Flight Fest. His scripted routine features continuous rolls, vertical moves, tail slides – all fastpaced and aggressive, he says. Super Dave has been flying since he was 15, and been dreaming of it for as long as he can remember. While commercial flights are his roots, aerobatic flights are his passion. For the past two
years Super Dave and his yellow and black checkered Pitts Special X2C have been performing in airshows all over North America. Not once has he had the feeling of motion sickness, or of his stomach up in his throat, or the onset of dry heaves. “I’ve loved it right from the start,” he says. Chilliwack Flight Fest begins on Saturday at 6 p.m. with a dinner and dance at Firkus Aircraft hangar. Tickets to the dinner are $25, available at the Airport Coffee Shop. On Sunday, the free event begins at 10 a.m. and goes until 4 p.m. For more information, visit the website www.chilliwackairshow.ca. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

were becoming popular status symbols for gang members as a way of intimidating rivals, police said. Meanwhile, Darryl Plecas, a criminology expert at University of the Fraser Valley, predicts that retaliation for the Sunday shooting will not be as quick as most people believe, due to intense police scrutiny. He also said the “ºoutrageous display of violence” does not signal a return to the same level that occurred in the Lower Mainland in 2009, when gang shootings and murders were rampant. Since then, police have improved their ability to gather information and head off potential issues before they occur. Plecas said the Kelowna shooting is not a sign that police are doing a poor job. “They are making incredible inroads, but

The police dog service was called in to track the suspects who were both arrested after a lengthy foot chase. The arrests were made without incident. “This is an excellent example of the police recognizing a problem in our community and going out to face it head-on,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. Police were able to locate the stolen property from the address and return it to the owners. Both male suspects are known to police and are from Chilliwack.

Chilliwack RCMP stepped up patrols in the area after reports of several residential break-ins. Members of the public had also reported a suspicious vehicle in the area which led to police being in the area at the time of the incident. As members of the Crime Reduction Unit were making patrols, they noticed suspicious activity at the Reece Avenue address. They spotted two men carrying items out of the residence and stashing them in a waiting vehicle parked nearby. As soon as the suspect vehicle left the

The Progress They don’t look like much, just a thumb tab of aluminum really. But for kids with spina bifida, the tab on top of your Coke can is invaluable. The Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association of BC uses the funds raised through pop tab collections to help families offset the costs of necessary equipment such as wheelchairs and leg braces. Just as the Hope Classic does. Brad Hagkull, organizer of Chilliwack’s Hope Classic, hopes this year’s event will inspire even more people in the community to start collecting pop tabs for the spina bifida association. The sixth annual Hope Classic, a run, walk, or wheel event is this Saturday. All funds raised go to the Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association of BC’s equipment fund. “Largely the public has no idea the costs of equipment for kids with spina bifida,” said Hagkull,
whose 12-year-old son Benjamin has spina bifida. Benjamin’s wheelchair cost almost $6,700. His custom-fit leg braces, which are plastic boots with straps that go from his midcalf to toes, cost $1,755. “And kids grow, so probably once a year, every couple years, we’re having to get him refitted,” said Hagkull. “Thankfully some of our extended benefits cover that, but there’s families from all across B.C. and the Yukon who don’t have a network like that and have to somehow come up with the full shot.” Every year the Spina Bifida and Hydrocephalus Association of BC enables families to apply for $1,000 grants to offset the costs of mobile aids. It’s able to do so through fundraisers, like the Hope Classic, which on average raises between $25,000 and $30,000 a year for the equipment fund, and pop tab collections. In Chilliwack, local schools, businesses, concession stands and service clubs “are getting calloused thumbs on our behalf,” said
Hagkull, who just last week was presented with over 400 pounds of aluminum tabs from the Chilliwack Kiwanis Club. “These tabs are a high grade aluminum ... they make it easier for families like ours to access funds to purchase equipment for our kids.” The Hope Classic is a family friendly event beginning at the Lions Club Hall on Hope River Road at 9:45 a.m. There’s a 5 km and 8 km route for participants to run, walk or wheel. The motto that was started six years ago continues today: Finishing is winning. Registration booths will be set up at PriceSmart Foods on Yale Road on Thursday and Friday from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.. The event will also take registrations the day of, prior to the start. Registration is $20 per person, $60 per family of four. Kids five and under can participate for free.

Library earns zoning approval LIBRARY from Front So staff deliberated and recommended a new location, one on Webster Road that will have more eyes trained on the park, with apartment buildings set to be built around the large green space in the middle of the development. The servicing and roads are in, but the residential construction has not begun. “The city would like to begin construction of the new skate park quickly, in order to ensure it is operational prior to decommissioning the existing location on Tyson Road,” according to a press release from the city on Wednesday. The statement from the city came on the heels of a question that came up at the rezoning hearing. Skateboarder Dave Tucker, who is studying criminology at UFV, praised council for the
new library plan, saying it would “undoubtedly become the crown jewel” of city facilities. He came to the public hearing to tell council there could be repercussions if skaters didn’t have a safe and well-lit location to practise their tricks and jumps in the interim, while the new library is being built. “Young people will end up on the public roads,” he warned, and asked if the city planned to offer another location for skaters and bike riders temporarily while the library is under construction. As a volunteer with Chilliwack Restorative Action, he was concerned the stats of “youth acting up” would increase. Mayor Gaetz responded that another location had already been chosen for the new skate park, and that the existing one would stay open, until the new one was built and
ready to go. The city is consulting with skate park users on the design of the new facility, which is expected to accommodate both skateboarders and BMX bike riders. “We should be able to come up with a pretty skookum skate park,” she said. “By doing this we are making everyone happy, and that is hard to do.” Tyson Road resident Hilary Bergen was the first member of the public to speak at the rezoning hearing. She said she wrote to the city to say she was not very happy that her “beautiful park” was going to be turned into a parking lot, as result of the library construction. “I’m still not happy about that,” she said, adding she had a couple of questions about the project. She asked why
the access to the new facility couldn’t be off Cumberland, and why there had to be two access points in the first place. The driveways should be “gated and locked,” she said, because often at Twin Rinks young people play their car stereo loudly at night, often keeping them awake, until it’s locked and they can finally go to sleep. Dir ector of Development Kur t Houlden said he wasn’t sure if the concept drawing would be realized as shown. The design-build process will answer those questions, he said. Three design buildteams were approved that night to submit proposals for the construction of the new facility. The Tyson Road rezoning received second and third readings from council. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno
Rescued ATV rider lucky to be recovering RCMP officials say it’s “amazing” that a local ATV rider is expected to recover from his injuries after plunging down a steep embankment. Two men were out riding recreational vehicles on the Tamihi Creek forestry road when one of them lost sight of the other. He turned off his vehicle and called out to his buddy, a 29-yearold Chilliwack man. After getting
no response, he walked toward the edge of the embankment and saw that his friend had fallen and was lying at the bottom. He climbed down the 300-foot embankment and managed to call for help, according to police reports. Chilliwack Search and Rescue, BC Air Ambulance, Air 1, and Chilliwack Fire Department personnel were on-scene at the Aug. 11 incident, in which the
injured man was stabilized and secured in a transport basket. “Several resources were utilized in this rescue and it’s really quite amazing that the victim is expected to recover from his fall,” said RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck. It does not appear that drugs or alcohol were factors, and police are not pursuing any criminal charges, she said.

R AESIDE
Justice moves slowly Only days after four nights of rioting, mayhem and looting in London and other British cities, more than 700 charges have been laid. Some of the troublemakers are already in jail, having been tried and sentenced in courts that are sitting day and night to process the nicked rioters. Two months after Vancouver’s Stanley Cup riot a single charge has yet to be laid. Even those remorseful rioters who turned themselves in have yet to face legal consequences. The thugs and vandals who wreaked havoc through the downtown, setting vehicles ablaze, kicking in store windows and robbing merchandise must be wondering if they got away with it. British authorities are crediting the overwhelming visual evidence of perpetrators from security cameras and photos posted online for their ability to move swiftly against the rioters. They used sophisticated facial-recognition software from Scotland Yard to match images of rioters and looters with mug shots already in their database. There’s no shortage of similar visual evidence of Vancouver’s rioters. In fact, police say there’s so much of it, they’re overwhelmed. To the point of paralysis, it seems. There are many reasons for this tale of two riots. The British legal system allows police to lay charges directly, while in Canada police gather evidence which they must then present to Crown counsel to make charges. That additional layer of bureaucracy may seem prudent in complicated cases like murder but it can be frustrating when violence and mayhem occur on a large scale. With years of experience dealing with social unrest and soccer hooliganism, the British system is also better equipped to deal with major events. In Canada the notion of the courts running 24 hours a day induces fiscal whining in a legal system already hamstrung by inadequate budgets. All the political fingerpointing in the wake of the Stanley Cup riot will be for nought if the perpetrators never face the consequences of their actions. ~ Black Press

Playing Monopoly in the world of BC Hydro VICTORIA – It’s a basic strategy for the board game Monopoly. If you land on one of the utilities, buy it and reap the steady revenues. Real-world investors follow the same rule. BC Hydro’s debt may be enormous, but it’s one of the safest investments around. The crown jewel of B.C. utilities is such a money machine that it can allow extravagant practices and still deliver some of the cheapest, cleanest, most stable energy in North America. Some of those extravagances were described in a new report on BC Hydro by three senior bureaucrats. Headline items included a 41-per-cent increase in staff in just four years, lavish management bonuses and union overtime pay, and a communications department almost as big as the B.C. government’s own. You won’t find this kind of luxu-

ry in private companies that have to compete in today’s ruthless marketplace. And you won’t learn much about it from listening to B.C.’s political debate, dominated as usual by the NDP’s unionapproved talking points. According to those, the only serious problem here is the intrusion of private power producers onto the turf of this government Tom monopoly cash cow. FLETCHER BC Hydro is only now getting a taste of the business discipline that has been applied to other areas of the provincial government. A case in point is the utility’s 650 staff engineers, part of what the reviewers termed a “gold standard” corporate culture.
Why does BC Hydro have six times as many engineers as the Transportation Ministry, which manages about the same amount of complex construction? According to Energy Minister Rich Coleman, the Transportation Ministry used to work the same way. Staff engineers would design a new bridge down to the specifications of the last bolt that holds the handrail. Then this design would be put out to tender, with the winning bidder micromanaged at every step. The remaining Transportation Ministr y engineers now speak wistfully of this bygone golden age. Today they are expected to set cost and performance specifications and let the private sector design and build the bridge to meet those targets. Innovations are thus encouraged, not prevented, and their former colleagues do just fine in the private sector.
A brisk pruning – the report recommends reducing total staff from 6,000 to 4,800 – gives Premier Christy Clark what she asked for. An expected 32-per-cent rate increase over three years will be limited to only 16 per cent. And it leaves BC Hydro’s huge capital works program more or less alone: rebuilding old dams, preparing for Site C and expanding both the grid and generation capacity. The review team also leaves the smart meter program alone, finding more evidence it will pay off in savings. The reviewers found that BC Hydro’s overtime costs are higher than other electrical utilities, and 84 per cent of that is paid to unionized electricians. The top five overtime earners doubled their base salary with overtime pay between $113,000 and $130,000 last year alone.

With a smart grid, at least they won’t be collecting so much overtime to drive around searching for downed wires. And I suppose it would be nice to have all overtime paid at double-time, and 17 to 20 “flex days” that can be taken off or traded for cash. But other public sector workers don’t get that. The government milks this cow, too. It overcharges BC Hydro for water use, for one thing. What this overhaul may also lead to is an end to former premier Gordon Campbell’s aggressive climate strategy. That’s a complicated issue that I’ll tackle in a subsequent column.

Costs of incineration are high Once again the health of the population of the Fraser Valley is at risk from the threat of another incinerator with the potential to burn a million tonnes of refuse a year produced from the Greater Vancouver metropolitan area. This raises a moral issue: Are the people of the Greater Vancouver metropolitan area prepared to foist their volatilized garbage into the air to the disadvantage of the people of the Fraser Valley? When garbage is transformed at high temperatures it is converted to ash and highly complex gases containing heavy metals and rarer metals, plus dioxins, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. It is also acknowledged that there will also be micro particles which can penetrate deeply into sinus and living tissue. The dilution with large quantities of air makes the emission from incinerators practically invisible, yet large chimney stacks on incinerators expose the volume of their poisonous emissions. We must always remember that just because it is almost invisible that it is still a changed form of a very toxic material to all living creatures, including plant life.
There are numerous threats to society from the incineration of garbage, both biological and economic, so that not only will the exposure have injured health, but also hidden economic penalties. First of all is the threat from increased air pollution which when reaching a tipping point will precipitate attacks of asthma in both young children and older asthmatics, and increasing the inflammatory response in the lungs to patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and hence, increased breathing disabilities, and hospitalization. The second biological threat is the absorption from the atmosphere of the biological toxins into the food chain of agricultural products as contaminated water carries the material onto growing plants and into the soil. This process is not apparent, by soil scientists can confirm it. The economic consequences of enhanced aerial pollution are: 1. Increased visits to emergency departments by patients with asthma and COPD. 2. Increasing costs of increased hospitalization of all patients with compromised lung and cardiac sys-

cars on B.C. Southern in the Valley as they are owned by Canada to serve the travelling public. To date Via Rail has not asked B.C. Southern to use these cars in a growing market. The bias of Via to serve mostly Ontario and Quebec has to stop. They have failed in their
obligations to treat B.C. with its Terms of Union into Confederation better than the Montreal headquarters prejudice of eastern politics. I demand equality for all Canadians and demand Via ask B.C. Southern to use these cars. Bryan Vogler
Government waste blamed for health care mess Re: “Liberals, give me back my Air Miles, (Progress, Aug. 11) When I read the headline my thought was that this was going to be a positive column. Sadly it turned out to be another typical Canadian whining about why should someone get something I’m not getting when I deserve it more; take it away from them and give it to me. As a reporter for the Chilliwack Progress Katie [Bartel] should do a little research. Tobacco products are
taxed 800 times their retail value and the taxes far exceed estimates of health related costs plus the limited time program the B.C. government offers to help smokers quit the habit. The extra millions left over are, I presume, being used somewhere else in the health care system. If her being a vocal advocate of non-smoking means that all she does is loudly annoy and embarrass people who do smoke, and her family and associates as well,
then she should rethink the vocal part and be more constructive. It’s not something to be proud of. Katie’s anger should focus on the B.C. government’s appalling record of waste and mismanagement, some of which is exposed by the media. This is the source of the problem that takes away from our health care, not hapless individuals who offend her ideology of the moment. As Seinfeld said “We live in a society.” J. Edwards

tems. The extra financing required for more hospital beds. 3. Reduced agricultural yield and productivity. 4. A movement of population away from areas of pollution and economic loss to home owners due to a fall in property values by people leaving the Upper Fraser Valley for healthier zones, especially those with compromised lung function who are advised to leave. The resolution of this threat to the population of the Fraser Valley is dependent on political decisions. The health of the population should be protected, not threatened by political decisions, hence the questions: What is the health of 1.5 million people in the Fraser Valley worth? I understand one of our political representatives in the Fraser Valley is Barry Penner, previously a minister of the environment, who should be well aware of the threat to his constituents. Public opinion should be focused on the politicians who have the responsibility to protect. If they do not, they are not fit to govern.

Pamela Law: The business of change I read a posting on Facebook not long ago that was poking fun at the fact that the Chilliwack Mall was the last mall on earth to have carpet. Well, the jokes will be coming to an end because as you are probably aware, the mall is getting an extreme makeover and the carpet is being replaced by porcelain tile. “The renovations should be done by the spring of 2012 and we’ll have three new tenants including Reitmans, SportChek and Winners. Toys R Us Express has also moved back. We’re excited to get this done,” said the mall’s manager, Pamela Law. Pamela grew up in Campbell River and the family home was right on the ocean. “I was the middle child born in the middle of the week but even so I had a great childhood,” she laughed. As kids, Pamela and her siblings were always outdoors and on the water. “At night, I’d watch the cruise ships on Georgia Straight lit up like a Christmas tree and I thought that they were just beautiful. I guess that’s why I love cruising so much,” she chuckled. She has always had a creative streak and an entrepreneurial spirit, something that she acknowledges she doesn’t inherit from either of her parents. “My parents were hardworking, middle class folks but they weren’t into taking chances,” she noted. When she was 16, her parents divorced and from then on she became restless. “I was living in Victoria but decided that it was too small so I headed off to Toronto. I then came back to Victoria then went to Vancouver, then Burnaby, Langley
and finally ended up here in Chilliwack,” she laughed. Pamela was always business oriented and worked in various corporate capacities. She decided to take her CGA but with one course left to complete the program, she decided that it wasn’t for her. “I just resolved Ana that it wasn’t MACEDO for me because it wasn’t creative enough.” She took on a job with the Ministry of Health and worked for them for the next eight years. During her final year there, she also worked with Immigration Canada to get the boat people from Laos settled into the country. “This was a fascinating job and I saw all kinds of things that you wouldn’t believe,” she reflected. After moving on, Pamela took on a position with Rogers/ Cantel and became its manager of financial accounting. “I enjoyed the job and I had the chance of moving up the corporate ladder
but then I met a cowboy, an entrepreneurial one at that, and he taught me the world of business,” she laughed. His background was sales and marketing and hers was finance. They combined their expertise and decided to buy a business. “We bought a sign and print shop business in Langley and ran it for 10 years. I absolutely loved it because I was able to combine my creative side with business,” she said. While Pamela is quite the city girl, the couple made the decision to move out to Chilliwack. “After awhile, the commute became too much so we sold our Langley business. I thought that I’d retire but I became bored and shortly after started as the director of marketing at the Chilliwack Mall and in 2003 became the mall manager. No two days are ever the same and I guess it’s the variety that keeps me here,” she enthused. The couple had thoughts of selling their house, buying a rig and going on the road but Pam laughed, suggesting that her sewing machine was too cumbersome to fit in the rig so that idea

was dashed. Instead, she set up a studio at her home to create jewellery. She was wearing an earring and necklace set that she had created and they were stunning which would explain why she has clients in Hawaii, Germany, Holland, Australia and the US. “I’ve been a seamstress for as long as I can remember and three years ago I became serious about making jewellery. I design my own pieces and use genuine gemstones to create each piece. My brother built a website for me and I sell the product on line at www.evernicedesigns. ca and it’s working out very well,” she said. She’ll be attending a ‘Made in BC’ artisan show at the Croatian Cultural Centre and if things go well, she plans on exhibiting at shows in Calgary and Edmonton. Pamela is quite satisfied with her life but admits that between her on-line jewellery business and her role as manager of two malls, she doesn’t have a whole lot of spare time. “Aside from my role as manager at the Chilliwack Mall, our company also has a mall in Whitehorse which I manage as well. It’s a strip mall with national tenants so it’s not too onerous. I usually travel up there twice a year to deal with things. Right now, I’m just excited to see things moving forward with this mall. It’ll be great when it’s all done. It’s going to look absolutely lovely,” she smiled. 8-11H PR4

Maintaining balance challenged whether this is true or not. We can shrug things off more easily and keep trying when we tell ourselves more balanced self-talk like, “Shannon must be having a bad day to be calling me names,” or “Miranda and Sheila don’t think I’m clumsy.” Asking, “Can you think of a time when you had juice without spilling it?” is a good place to start. These bad mental habits can become pretty sneaky, and appear almost automatically in our minds. Start a bad mental habits detective club with a child or young person in your life and see if you can replace over generalizations with more balanced and positive thoughts. Recognizing and correcting the negative messages in our minds with more accurate and positive ones can have a terrific impact on our mental well-being.

is exhibiting consists of taking examples (whether one or 100) and applying them as a blanket over this girl’s entire previous experience and into the future. I don’t want to, ahem, over generalize and Marie assume this AMOS mother in the throes of back-to-school shopping always models this cognitive distortion for her daughter. However, consistent overgeneralization is not a healthy habit and makes it very easy to believe in a negatively skewed view of the world. Challenging mental bad habits is one of the most important things we can do for the children and young people in our lives to help them. The young person who gets called a name and then says, “Everyone thinks I’m clumsy” can be gently

8-11H PR4
Over the last few weeks, my Perspectives co-contributors Dr. Rob Lees and Eryn Wicker have introduced several kinds of cognitive distortions. These include the bad mental habit of “fortune telling” and superstitious thinking and the negative impact these habits can have on our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. What cognitive distortions all have in common is that they contribute to us feeling down, helpless, defeated and less resilient. We can fall into the overgeneralization trap very easily. If I hit a red light at Five Corners I might think “I always get this red light.” I need to balance this out by consciously recalling all the times the light is green and I cruise through the intersection without needing to stop. Yesterday I was in Vancouver and I overheard a parent saying to her daughter, “Don’t lose this backpack; you always lose things.” I do not know this young girl, so perhaps at eight years old she has lost everything she’s ever owned. It is possible that her bedroom is completely bare, and every plaything, item of clothing, and toothbrush had disappeared. However, what is more likely is that over the course of her life, she had lost some items. Perhaps last year she left her backpack on the bus, and her sweater at the park, and her PE strip at school a few times. The overgeneralization her mother
Red Overhead Flashing Warning Lights Stop when approaching a school bus from either direction (Min. 10 metres). This means the school bus is stopped to either load or unload students. Wait until the red lights stop flashing and the driver indicates it is safe to proceed or until the bus moves off. Watch for students crossing the road.
Amber Overhead Flashing Warning Lights Slow down and proceed with caution and be prepared to stop as the bus will be stopping to either load or unload students.

Railroad Crossings The Motor Vehicle Act states that school buses carrying students must stop at all uncontrolled railway crossings, but Chilliwack School District has extended its policy to include stops at ALL railway crossings. -- Buses will display 4-way flashing amber lights to indicate the bus is stopping or stopped. -- Extra caution is required on the part of the motorists while the bus is stopped or stopping. Passing is permitted.

It is almost impossible to stop 3 or 4 lanes of traffic with Red Overhead Flashing Warning Lights. For student safety, the school district employs Curb Stops similar to the City Transit Bus Service. Whenever possible, the bus proceeds through the intersection, students disembark, then cross the street at the nearest pedestrian crosswalk behind the bus. -- The school bus will display the 4-way Amber Flashing Lights, the same as at railway crossings.

Welcome to the 2011-12 school year! On Tuesday September 6th we will be welcoming approximately 13,000 students to learn with us in the Chilliwack School District. We are a learning community of more than 1600 people who are working to support all students in their learning. Our Board of Education and staff are committed to our aim: “Every student a graduate prepared for opportunities beyond graduation”. This requires careful attention to providing learning that meets the needs of each student. To achieve student success we promote learning and professional growth for all staff. We provide a safe and caring learning and working environment for students and staff. We also believe strong partnerships with parents and our communities are important for our students’ success. Our district is situated in the traditional territory of the Sty: lǀ people. We acknowledge and honour that Aboriginal (First Nations, Metis and Inuit) students have a right to education, which respects and promotes the language, culture and tradition of the Sty: lǀ people and other Aboriginal cultures and traditions. We are very thankful to everyone who has worked so diligently and successfully to prepare us for this new school year. Our custodial, maintenance and technology staffs have prepared our schools for learning. The staff at the School District Office and many school-based staff members have worked diligently to prepare for our opening day.

We are excited to be working and learning together for student success. In the Halqemeylem language of our Sto:lo people: “Ey swayel”. Good day!

We are very thankful for the leadership provided over the past four years by Corinne McCabe and also excited about the appointment of Dr. Michael Audet as our Superintendent for the upcoming school year.

As a district we should be extremely proud that our Strategic Plan and District Achievement Contract are both being held up around the province as models of excellence. These two educational documents provide a clear and focused direction for our district as we continue to work to achieve our goals and objectives. This school year will see the opening of two new schools: Yarrow Elementary Community School and Rosedale Traditional Community School as well as the continued construction on Chilliwack Secondary School. Best wishes for an exciting and rewarding year full of personal and professional growth.

Pickton inquiry adds lawyers Four lawyers have been named to represent interests of aboriginal women and Downtown Eastside residents in the upcoming Missing Women Inquiry. Two will work for free while two others will be paid with money pulled from elsewhere in the inquiry’s budget. More than half of the dozen groups that were granted standing have now refused to participate at the inquiry into the Robert Pickton serial killings after the provincial government refused to fund individual lawyers for them at an estimated cost of $1.5 million. The Nadlheh Whut’en First Nation in northern B.C. is also boycotting the inquiry’s forums in that region. “We cannot participate in an inquiry whose outcome is predetermined,” band chief Larry Nooski said. He said the province has stacked the deck in favour of police, who have been given “teams of lawyers with unlimited resources lined up against unrepresented aboriginal people.”

Fitness
Three steps to running success To run is to swiftly place one foot in front of the other so that both feet leave the ground during each stride. You can probably already do that, at least with enough skill to get around a baseball diamond, or to catch a toddler trotting toward an unguarded staircase. What you may not now be able to do, however, is run a long enough distance, or run frequently enough for your own liking. Anyone can be a runner. Whether you run slowly, quickly, or only on sunny Wednesdays, you are a runner. There are many reasons to start running. Since you are reading this article, you probably have a few reasons of your own. Running is a great way to increase cardiovascular fitness, muscle tone, and bone density. It burns calories, helps you lose weight, and you can run just about anywhere. Follow the three steps to running success. Step 1: Get ready! Before you lace up your shoes and hit the roads, do
a little preparation. If you are new to exercise, or if you have a medical condition, talk to your doctor before you begin. Once you have received the go ahead, set a specific, realistic and measurable goal for yourself. Your goal may be, for example, to follow a specific run program three times per Tanja week, or to SHAW complete a 5-kilometer run in the spring. Next, look at your shoes. If the soles are worn thin, or you vaguely remember buying them a few years ago, it is definitely time for a new pair. If you have worn your shoes for more than six months, a new pair is recommended. A running specific shoe store can offer you advice on which shoe is best for you. The running tights and flashy reflective running tops are nice to have, but not necessary to start running.
Step 2: Follow a plan. Create a personal running schedule. Include when and where you will run, and for how long. Use your judgment to keep safe while running. For example, if you run at night, wear bright clothing and run with a friend. When it comes to running, it pays off to be the tortoise and take it slow. Start with a walk to warm up. Next, run for 30 seconds to a minute. Make sure that you are able to keep up a conversation while you run. Walk briskly for two to four minutes and repeat three to six times. Walk again at the end to cool down. Slowly increase the time spent running each week or at your own pace. Remember to have fun! Be sure to keep hydrated, and to listen to your body. If you feel abnormally tired, or if you are sore, take a break. It’s okay to take a rest day, even if it’s not planned. UrbanEndo Runners in Garrison Crossing offers Learn to Run programs, as well as running programs for
intermediate and advanced runners. Step 3: Keep running! Soon enough you will be comfortable running 20 minutes or more on a regular basis. Now is an important time to keep motivated to keep running. Change your running route regularly to keep your runs exciting. Keep motivated by setting goals, running with a partner, training for a race, or joining a running club. The Vedder Running Club welcomes runners and walkers of all abilities. Ascend Fitness Coaching is participating in the Run for the Cure on Sunday, October 2 in Abbotsford. For more information on training for the Run for the Cure, or to join the Ascend Fitness team, e-mail tanja@ascendfitnesscoaching.com.

Giant ‘crocuses’ in September I know there are many gardens out there that really need a lift in September, and these precious fall crocuses can add that little spark of colour, writes Brian Minter
year in late April, just as the tulips are nicely in flower, huge masses of strap-like leaves appear and grow to about one foot in height. After two to three weeks, they disappear as suddenly as they arrived, having provided all the food the bulb needs. Colchicums are quite hardy and do well from zones one through nine. 'Colchicum speciosus', which blooms in September and October, is most often a bright violet-pink, while 'Colchicum album' is the seldom seen beautiful white variety. Among the hybrids, 'Lilac Wonder' is the most popular with its attractive lilac-pink flowers. The double purple blooms of 'Waterlily' are unusual and quite beautiful, but its heavy blossoms are often knocked down and spoiled by autumn rains. Colchicums should
be planted in areas where they can be naturalized without interfering with other plants. Underplanting around flowering shrubs, like white altheas or P.G. hydrangeas, makes a lovely contrast when the bulbs bloom each fall. Another classic combination is to plant them under white snowberries (Symphoricarpos alba) for a great autumn display. Colchicums are only dormant in July and August, so you have to be quick on the draw to get them planted immediately for any kind of showing this fall, but they are well worth the effort, believe me. The main bulb supplier for BC has just received their shipment for distribution to garden stores this week, so for this weekend and next week, colchicums should be widely avail-

Fall blooming colchicums go by the name of ‘Autumn Crocus’
able. I know there are many gardens out there that really need a lift in September, and these precious fall crocuses can add that little spark of colour. Think of them as fall messengers reminding us that in spring our gardens will be inundated with colour from their peers.

PRO
August is the only time of year to plant an easy-to-grow giant crocus that blooms a few weeks later – in September! Fall blooming colchicums go by the name of 'Autumn Crocus', although they are not really a crocus at all. In fact, they belong to the lily family and are native to the Mediterranean region. Colchicum bulbs become huge and can, over time, produce 19 to 25 flowers, one right after the other, until they all open in a profusion of colour. A lady, who used to grow thousands in her backyard in Vancouver, told me it takes about two years for a small bulb to grow into a huge specimen, at which point it splits into four smaller ones. Small bulbs will produce five to seven flowers; mid-sized bulbs will have about a dozen blooms. I have learned the hard way that these bulbs love a sunny, welldrained, yet moist location, with average soil. One year we planted them in several shady spots, only to have them gradually deteriorate to the point of no return. You can leave them in the ground to naturalize, if that is the effect you wish to have. A single corm of a large colchicum hybrid can easily multiply to cover nearly 900 square centimetres of garden. Just imagine what a few well-placed groupings throughout your garden can do. It is best to plant them about 10cm deep and about 15 to 20cm apart. They need some room, not only to multiply, but also for the huge foliage which will develop the following spring. These fascinating bulbs can actually bloom indoors simply by leaving them sitting on a windowsill. It's best to put them in a saucer on about two inches of gravel. The flowers won't last quite as long, nor will they have the same intense colour, but they will bloom and can still be planted outside to grow on for next year. Each

Party in the Park host Trevor McDonald is urging everyone to show up at Central Community Park on the last two nights, Aug. 19 and 26. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
McDonald makes a splash downtown Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack’s own Trevor McDonald is a man on a mission when it comes to live music on the local scene. “It’s been an amazing summer,” he says, when The Progress catches up with him. With the exponential growth and popularity of Party in the Park, thousands of people stream into the downtown to Central Community Park every Friday night. The grand opening featuring Bill Henderson, founder of the band Chilliwack, in early July attracted 4,000 people. “It’s become a real local success story,” says McDonald, who F I N E

hosts the entertainment portion. The title sponsor of PITP is Coast Capital, and more than 60 vendors signed up for a spot at the Night Market, and the Family Fun Zone keeps growing as well. The Downtown Chilliwack BIA’s event won the Best in the West award last year, which recognizes excellence in marketing, promotions and special events from BIAs across B.C. It takes more than 50 volunteers to set things up for PITP every Friday night in July and August, as well as the diligent efforts by volunteers and staff before, during and after the big event. Jambox sets up the hugely popular entertainment stage and Go Audio does the sound.

“And if you liked the Grand Finale last year when we had about 6,000 people show up, you’ll love this year’s final show.” He said he can’t reveal the name of the exciting headliner booked for the finale on Aug. 26 — something about contracts. But stay tuned for the announcement soon at theprogress.com. McDonald set up a pair of scholarships years ago, handed out every year to two CSS students pursuing the arts from funds added to the Chilliwack Musicians’ Co-op. There have been four students who have earned the $1,000 prize so far, and partial proceeds come from the musicians’ honoraria. “It’s something I’m really proud of, and next June at gradu-

The PITP hosting duties are on top of several regular gigs, like the Sunday jam night at Anavets 305, his solo act Wednesdays at Jolly Miller, or at Preston’s in the Coast Chilliwack on Thursdays with a trio with Ernie Britton and Jeff Eyre, and McDonald is as busy as ever. He’s been making music up and down the valley for the past 20 years, and has seen things ebb and flow in terms of the marketplace for music. “But being involved with community events, and playing all these years, I’m so grateful,” he says.

Check out the miniature horse farm, winery, U-pick blueberries and lavender, as well as the annual local pig roast. Home-baked sweets and eats abound, and the melodic sounds of acoustic music in the apple orchard, with community theatre by the King Apple tree.

Regardless, it’ll involve family, too. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Start putting your money where your mouth is, Taurus. There’s only so long a person can keep stringing along others. Sooner or later your time will be up. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, it’s time to make up your mind about an important decision that’s going to effect others. The next few weeks will be extra busy, so start

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 You haven’t been feeling like yourself lately, Leo. Others have noticed the change in your demeanor and have questioned it. Things will subside shortly.

You don’t always have to march to the beat of a different drummer. Think about this in the next few days. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, there’s so much going on daily that it’s easy for you to feel scatterbrained and make mistakes. It’s definitely hard to focus when there is confusion. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, a relationship is strained and you are asked to mediate the situation. Don’t get too excited about being a referee, though. It comes with much responsibility. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you need a break from things but don’t know what the break will be just yet. Start jotting down ideas that will relax your mind and your body. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, things are about to heat up and you may feel overwhelmed in the next few days. Don’t let your temper get the better of you or it could lead to more stress.

Bantams pound Panthers at Chillibowl Will Zomar, Jaxon Harvey, Byron Dargatz and Logan McCracken were solid on the defensive line, thwarting the Panthers ground game. The bantams travel to Langley to play in the Golden Helmet tournament this weekend. ● The junior bantam Blue Giants went 2-2 at the Chillibowl, finishing third in their division. Quarterback Nick Both led his crew to a 20-0 win in the opener, going six-of-seven passing for 174 yards and two majors against the Chilliwack Red Giants. Gibson Hardie and Jake Hunter reeled in TD passes, with Both rushing for the third major. Defensively, the Blue Giants were led by their ‘big man’ on the defensive line. Chris Derksen had three quarterback sacks. The Blue Giants dropped their next two to Mission (Kelowna, 13-0) and North Surrey (13-7), but finished the tournament on a high note with a 7-0 win over Victoria. Both picked up rushing TDs against North Surrey and Victoria, running behind the blocks of AJ Sagrott and Cyrus Tommy. Wyatt Uzick was a defensive standout for Chilliwack.
The defense was stout, led by the sure tackling of Tyler Kermode, Austin Kardux and Jake Troyan. The biggest tackle of the day belonged to Brody Porter who made a timely touchdown saving stop with seconds to go against North Surrey.
● Chilliwack’s peewee Blue squad placed third with two wins, a loss and a tie. Jayden Mourato and Evan McCraken had touchdowns, and Bradley Langlois ran for an extra point.
● Football is often described as a game of inches, as Chilliwack’s atom Red Giants discovered last weekend. The local crew came within a fingertip of winning the atom division at the Chillibowl.

The Red Giants opened the tournament with a 14-0 win over Chilliwack’s atom Blue Giants. A touchdown run by Kurtis Flynn was all the Red Giants needed in their second game, a 6-0 win over Chilliwack’s White Giants. Kai Manning and Davies Mitchell led the defence to a second straight shutout, terrorizing the White Giants with unrelenting blitzes. The Red Giants faced the North Surrey Lions in game three. In a game that saw five lead changes, every-
thing came down to the last three minutes. Leading 13-12, Chilliwack had North Surrey facing a thirdand-21 from their own 30 yard line. The Lions ran a sweep to the wide side. Their running back narrowly escaped the fingertips of two Chilliwack defenders before galloping 80 yards down the sideline for the decisive score. In the final game of the tournament, the Red Giants faced the Richmond Raiders, who could best be described as nine year olds in 11-year-old bodies.

Not intimidated in the least, Chilliwack countered with the bruising running of Mason Murphy and newcomer Jackson Saunders. After rookie cornerback Travis Richly recovered a fumble, Flynn ran for a touchdown and a two score lead. Flynn added another long touchdown run to make the final 20-0.

Holt and Josh Janssen had big runs behind the blocking of Josh Baird, Taylor Troyan, Dhillon Myers, Robbie StirlingZizick and Jayden Okoth.

After weeks of drills, tackling bags and blocking sleds, the bantam Blue Giants finally got to play some real football, taking on the North Surrey Panthers at the annual Chillibowl preseason tournament at Townsend Park. Head coach Jeff Samulak was worried about his inexperienced squad’s ability to handle game speed and intensity. He needn’t have been concerned as the Giants rolled to a 40-8 victory. Chilliwack’s offensive line was dominant. Already leading 2-0 on a safety, the big boys up front opened a gaping hole for Filip Horak, who scampered into the endzone for the game’s first touchdown. Connor Hermann and Ryan Connolly also found the endzone with rushing majors. Horak added his second touchdown of the game when he hauled in a Josh Pretty pass early in the second half. The Giants were five for five on conversions, with Josh Fitzsimmons kicking three and Colton Derouin and Treyvon Walsh catching passes. Defensively, Kenny Toews returned an interception for a touchdown.

Saturday’s races Twenty seven cars are could decide if the top involved, with Agassiz’s competitors win enough Tom Berrow driving points to pull away from No. 86 and holding the field, or slip down first place. to the point Berrow won this where the rest of series last year the field thinks and would love they’ve got a to take back to shot. back titles. Specifically, With only three classes will one more race be affected. after Agassiz, Murray First is the at the Western ASA series, a Speedway in JONES province wide Victoria, this series that is race is a critical being held at Agassiz one for the top three this weekend. drivers. Although Berrow is leading, it’s only by five points over Geoff Morris, driving No. 52. Morris is only eight points clear of third place Brent Morris, driving No. 25. Even fourth place Dave Hemrich (a local driving No. 33) is only 2011 15 points out of top spot. Next up is the Street stock series. On any given night, you can see the top four or five cars finishing * within seconds of each other, and right now it’s a battle of brothers. The ‘X’ car of Paul Tourond leads the pack with the No. 44 of Keith Tourond close behind in third. They are separated by the No. 28 of well known racer Murray Jones. Murray has been demonstrating some *** excellent driving skills in a finely tuned race car built just this year. Last race, those three clocked times separated by only 15 hundredths of a second, and one of them will likely be taking the checkered flag

tomorrow. Finally, we’ve got the ever popular Hornet class. I would like to say it’s popular because I’m in first overall right now, but I think the fans are cheering for everyone but me. This is really tight this year as I predicted. There were about five cars poised for taking top points this year, but persistent engine problems have plagued the extremely fast No. 96 of Randy Doerksen So much so, in fact, that he had to finish near the back in the last two races, effectively killing his chances of finishing first overall. The No. 58 of Dalton Khun was involved in a motor failure as well, limiting his possibilities of ending in the top three. Colin Roseborsky, driving No. 45, has worked his way up the field to take third at this point, and can still pull it out of the hat if the next three races go his way. He would need a fair amount of luck, but the No. 41 of Curtis Williams is a real threat. He is only 35 points back, and drives a faster car that my No. 61. In addition, Williams is a driver that sees opportunities on the track that other drivers may not be aware of as fast. With 20 or more cars in the main races, any one of these top three could run into unwanted trouble at any time, ending their position. Get more info online at www.agassizspeedway.com.
