Missing women inquiry ‘unravelling’ Robert Freeman The Progress
to unify the look of the historic downtown core. The focus is on muted and neutral tones such as terra cotta reds, mossy greens, ochre, powdery blue, as well as creams, tans, grays and many more. The business group and the city have been taking non-stop flack over the pink building since the matter erupted. Somehow the great pink debate crystallized old frustrations and anger about the city and the BIA — which may or may not have any basis in fact. “The BIA isn’t interested in ‘taking it to
Ernie Crey fears the public inquiry into the police handling of missing women from Vancouver’s Downtown East Side is “unravelling” as the B.C. government refuses to pay legal fees for sex trade workers and others who want to take part in the hearings. Crey said his fear is based on the funding refusI’m really angry al - despite the urging of inquiry because I was one head Wally Oppal - and comments of the people who by B.C. Premier fought really hard Christy Clark for the inquiry. at a recent First ~ Ernie Crey Nations Summit. “Her comments about how money shouldn’t be spent on lawyers (to combat violence against aboriginal women) is really an oblique reference to the inquiry,” Crey told The Progress. “I think we’re witnessing the unravelling of this inquiry,” he said. “I’m really angry because I was one of the people who fought really hard for the inquiry.” Two aboriginal groups and the native courtworkers’ association have already pulled out of the inquiry. At the June 9 summit, Clark said it is her responsibility as premier to address the issue of violence against aboriginal women, but she believes money is “not necessarily best spent on lawyers.” “I think the solution will be (delivering) real services to real people, people who are living with violence every day.” In May, Attorney-General Barry Penner, Chilliwack-Hope MLA, announced the government would pay legal fees for family members of the murdered and missing women, but other groups, like sex trade workers and aboriginal people who were the targets of serial killer Robert Pickton, would have to pay their own costs.

Pink store saga not quite over yet Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The saga of the pink building took another twist over the weekend when the downtown storefront was repainted a dark green. But it’s still not quite over yet. The owner of the vintage clothing shop said Friday she was disappointed by the shade of “pea soup” green that her landlord went with to cover the pink. He was in a rush in order to meet the deadline city officials had imposed. “I had to comply with the bylaw. I had no choice,” said Twyla Johnson, owner of Corner Hut Fashions. A minor media furore erupted last week when it came to light the pink would have to go because the store owners had failed to choose a permitted colour — even after
viewing the approved palette of colour choices. Johnson went ahead and painted last month with a bright purplepink or fuchsia shade, to jazz up her storefront. City officials reacted quickly — she had to either repaint or pay the costs. “I couldn’t afford the fines which could be as much as $200 a day,” Johnson said. “I don’t even make that much.” The problem was that the particularly bright shade did not conform to the palette of approved colours. The palette forms part of the design guidelines adopted under the Official Community Plan, specifically

More burning questions on Metro garbage Jeff Nagel Black Press Metro Vancouver politicians soon face critical choices on how they pursue waste-to-energy incineration now that the province has approved the region’s solid waste plan. A key issue – to be tackled this fall – is whether any new incinerator should be publicly owned and operated or outsourced to a private partner. A Metro-built facility would mean taxpayers pay directly for it – a price tag that could easily top $500 million – but the region would be able to sell the energy generated, offsetting much of the ongoing costs and maybe even turn a small profit. If a private partner instead finances, builds and runs the plant, Metro would avoid up-front costs and the risks of ownership but sign a longterm garbage-supply contract. The region would pay per-tonne garbage disposal fees, which would cover not just the construction and operating costs but also the partner’s profit margin and its potentially higher borrowing costs. Directors will likely debate whether Metro should keep the energy revenue for itself, how much that power might be worth in the future
Three teen girls sought for vicious attack, robbery Three teenage girls are being sought by Chilliwack RCMP in connection with a vicious attack and robbery of another teenage girl on First Avenue last Monday night.
and whether Metro could scale down incineration if residents recycle and compost more than expected. “The business model is one thing we have to determine out of the gate,” said Port Coquitlam Mayor Greg Moore, who chairs Metro waste management committee. A hybrid option might be for Metro to finance the plant but contract out construction and operation, with an agreement on sharing both risks and revenues. Metro’s waste committee and board is expected to soon begin to frame its request for proposals, although it won’t be finalized until early next year, after civic elections in November bring a new set of directors. Moore said that call will leave the plant’s location wide open, allowing open competition between out-ofregion bidders like Covanta Energy, which proposes an incinerator at Gold River on Vancouver Island, and other proponents with in-region sites, such as a possible bid by Aquilini Renewable Energy on Tsawwassen First Nation land. That may bring a tussle at the board over how to rate the bids. Should more weight be given to avoiding local air emissions by barging trash to Gold River? Or should efficiently located in-
“Young girls robbing and assaulting another girl is very shocking and disturbing,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said in a news release. She said the 17-year-old victim was walking home from work at about 10:30 p.m. when three girls approached her, swore at
region sites with better potential to sell energy into a district heating network win out on dollar value because of lower transport costs and higher revenues? Would locating the incinerator in Surrey help transform its emerging downtown with new development? Or would it be less risky to place the plant in North Vancouver, where it could simply plug in to Lower Lonsdale’s existing district heat system, now fired by natural gas? Metro estimates an in-region burner will cost taxpayers at least $1 billion less over the long term than out-of-region options – although critics hotly dispute the underlying assumptions. Another tough choice is whether to give some preference to emerging waste conversion technologies, such as gasification or pyrolysis, which promise ultra-low emissions but don’t have the track record of conventional mass-burn incineration. “There was a lot of desire around the board to look at new and emerging waste-to-energy technology,” Moore said. Some directors warn those alternatives won’t stand a chance if the bidding is wide open to a mass-burn incinerator, which they expect to wield a big cost advantage.
her and called her names, then stole her bag. An unknown male saw what happened, chased the three girls and managed to return the victim’s bag. But the three attackers returned, grabbed the victim by the throat and demanded her money and Blackberry cellphone.
Vancouver councillors, who tried a year ago to ban mass-burn combustion from the waste plan, are expected to mount a similar push again. Moore said the board might opt to carve out part of the 500,000 tonnes of waste per year for proponents of alternative technologies, who wouldn’t have to bid against a conventional incinerator. That may lead to another choice – whether to go with a single plant or multiple ones. Metro is also expected to hire a third-party independent expert for advice in the coming decisions. A final decision on what will be built and where could be 18 months away, Metro officials say. While the politicians decide the framework for what might be built, Metro will also start consulting the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) to address concerns that toxic emissions will worsen air quality in the already polluted airshed. Environment Minister Terry Lake ordered the consultations and establishment of a joint working group of the two regions, directing Metro to take steps to address “reasonable” concerns of the FVRD.
“The victim was choked until she gave her cellphone to the girls,” Hollingsworth said. The three suspects then ran away towards Birch Street. They were all described as about 15 years old, under the influence of alcohol, and possibly white or aboriginal. One suspect was

described as about 5’ 2” tall, with medium-length brown, curly hair, a heavy build and wearing white shorts and a dark-coloured tank top. A second suspect was described as “really skinny” and about 5’ 2” tall, with black hair and wearing a white sweater and jeans. A third suspect was
Motorcyclists are being reminded to watch their speed and stay alert to the flow of traffic after four injury accidents over the weekend. A 44-year-old motorcyclist from Chilliwack was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital with serious injuries Sunday. Police said the unidentified motorcyclist was travelling with a group of motorcyclists on Hwy. 1 when he lost control at McCallum Road in Abbotsford as the others slowed for traffic. “The operator slid down the roadway, but did not collide with any other traffic,” RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen said. On Saturday, two Abbotsford motorcyclists, one male and one female, were airlifted to Vancouver General Hospital with serious injuries after crashing into each other on Hwy 99 at Porteau Cove at about 12:30 p.m. “One of the riders was attempting to pass another vehicle to join up with the other rider, and in doing so, the first rider slowed and the second rider collided into the first rider,” Thiessen said. As police officers were investigating that crash, another crash involving a 44-yearold male motorcyclist from New Westminster occurred on Hwy 99 at Brittania Beach. “The motorcyclist was unable to stop as traffic slowed,” Thiessen said, but he did not collide with any other traffic and sustained only minor injuries.
described as about 5’ 2” tall, with a thin build and darkbrown hair, and wearing a dark-coloured tank top and jeans. Anyone with information is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

the little guy’, and neither is the City of Chilliwack for that matter,” said BIA director Alvin Bartel, in a press release. “On the contrary, we are only interested in helping the downtown merchants succeed in their endeavours.” Notification to Johnson from the city about the non-sanctioned colour came on the heels of a complaint. CTV News reported the complaint came from the BIA itself but the assertion was not attributed. “Ever yone understands laws and bylaws,” said Johnson. “I just felt they were enforcing a bylaw that they might just want to
reconsider.” In fact a “fresh look” at the colour palette guidelines could be on its way this fall, said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. The BIA spokesman agreed. “After all, trends do change over time and some adjustment to the colour palette might be warranted,” Bartel admitted. The mayor actually wore a bright pink jacket during a TV interview last week, in part to show that she has nothing against the bright colour personally. “But as city officials we are not allowed to apply bylaws with any partiality. But we’ve been vilified for this one,” Gaetz said. Part of it was the apparent David-and-

Goliath aspects, of the city coming down on the “little guy,” which was certainly not the case, she said. Many local residents have been urging city and BIA officials to give in, to bend the rules, and allow the store to stay pink. “I was totally blown away by how many people have come through the doors to say how dissatisfied and angry they were about this,” Johnson said. She had to hire extra staff to deal with the non-stop stream of people. Four sets of supporters showed up within 20 minutes during one afternoon. “I am furious,” said resident Doreen Morrey. “Someone who tries to brighten up the downtown like this shouldn’t be put down or chastised for it. We should picket with pink signs.” For resident Brenda Gelean, the bright pink was precisely what the downtown needed. She remembers seeing it for the first time when she walked up Young Road, and giving Johnson the thumbs-up about it. “Bright colours make us happy,” she said. “That’s a proven fact.” But a lot of half-truths have been circulated since the pink building story went viral, Bartel said. “Some of the information that has been reported has been accurate and some perhaps needs further clarification,” he said. “Like all of our neigh-

bours up and down the valley, Chilliwack has a set of guidelines that dictate form and character for the downtown area, including colour. As part of those guidelines, a colour palette was developed featuring a “wide range of choices” for use on building facades. “Some might say that these colours are ‘too dull’ or ‘drab’, but for the time being it’s what’s on the books. “Many businesses over the years have abided by the rules and used these colour guidelines very successfully in their renovations and new construction.” But the saga of the downtown colour debate is not completely over yet. The dark green will stay in place until all parties can sit down, review the existing colour palette again, and find another shade more acceptable to Johnson than the drab green, said Gaetz. Paint costs will be covered by the BIA, and a Good Samaritan has generously offered to paint the storefront — again — in an attempt to truly satisfy everyone. “The message we want to get out is that we’re just about to unveil a new plan for the downtown,” said Gaetz. They’ll discussing it soon with merchants and residents. “We have a vision, a plan and a dream for the downtown, and our downtown task force members will be coming forth with some bold recommendations. So of course we can look at the palette at that time as well.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Free trees on offer to restore habitat Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack landowners along the Hope and Camp Sloughs are being asked if they’d be willing to have trees and shrubs planted on their properties to help restore crucial fish habitat. Lack of shade to keep the water cool is one of the key concerns. “Salmon and trout are especially vulnerable to high water temperatures,” said Detmar Schwichtenberg, acting chair of the Fraser Valley Watersheds Coalition. “Once temperatures reach 16 or 17 degrees Celsius the fish start to feel stressed and when temperatures exceed 20 degrees, the fish start to disappear.”
FVWC, in partnership with the City of Chilliwack and DFO, have been trying to improve conditions by monitoring water quality and fish presence, and planting native vegetation along the riverbanks. “These sloughs provide good habitat for many creatures,” states Rachel Drennan, Outreach Coordinator for the FVWC. “But they could also use some help.” Planting native trees and shrubs not only provides shade and helps to reduce water temperatures, it also helps reduce sedimentation in the river, and provides bank stabilization. Hope and Camp Sloughs are historical watercourses rich in biodiversity that enriches Chilliwack neighbourhoods and provides habitat for a range of fish and
7
wildlife. They also face challenges with respect to sediment accumulation, slow flows, lack of dissolved oxygen and high water temperatures. Anyone who owns a property bordering either the Hope River or Camp River or has a tributary of these streams going through their property, and is interested in having native vegetation planted for free along the stream banks, please contact Rachel Drennan, or Rachel@fvwc.ca or 604-791-2235.

Crey is angry after fighting for inquiry MISSING from FRONT Critics of the decision pointed to the millions government spent on the HST referendum. Crey’s sister Dawn is one of the missing women, although her case was not one of the six Crown counsel pursued in court against Pickton, who was eventually convicted on all six counts of seconddegree murder. Despite the fact that Dawn’s DNA was found on Pickton’s farm, Crey must now tell the National Parole Board how he was “harmed� by Pickton before he is eligible for information on the convicted killer’s movements. Crey said he was called by a NPB official a few months ago and asked if he would like to be notified each time Pickton is moved within the corrections system. Crey replied that he would, but then came a July 29 letter from the parole board. “Because this offender was not convicted of the offence against your family member, (the parole board) will require from you a short statement indicating how you were harmed by the offender,� a parole board official said in the letter. Crey said it is “these types of screw-ups, born of either insensitivity or incompetence or both, that frustrate and cause heartache to the families of the murdered and missing women.� “I will contact both the NPB and the responsible federal minister to register my complaints,� he said, but added he doesn’t expect “much, if any,
simpatico from the minister as the missing and murdered women, especially those from the Downtown East Side, are not a priority for them.� Crey was also cautioned in the letter that Pickton will receive a copy of his request, although identifying information will be

Strong advocate for kids

It would be very unfortunate if the all-party committee discussing the appointment of the province’s representative for children and youth does not agree to keep Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond in the role. Turpel-Lafond, a First Nations woman from Saskatchewan who is a former judge, has done an excellent job in what is a very difficult and highlystressful job. It is her job to let the light shine in cases of child neglect, child deaths and other truly disturbing incidents involving children. As an independent officer of the B.C. legislature, her role is to make the situations public and suggest solutions. It is not to kowtow to government policy or close her eyes to some truly challenging and difficult situations. Turpel-Lafond, as both an aboriginal woman and former judge, has unique skills which put her in a good position to speak up about this. Her background is a real help in this position. Far too many of the children who are in foster care in B.C. are First Nations children — a much higher proportion than the First Nations share of B.C.’s population. There are a wide variety of reasons for this, but it remains a fact. Someone who comes from a First Nations background, and has dealt with those situations both personally and professionally, is in a far better position to help make real change than a complete outsider. It is important to remember that the initial suggestion of an independent children’s commissioner came out of the inquiry presided over by Judge Thomas Gove. This was set up after the tragic death of Matthew Vaudreuil in 1992. The five-year-old spent his short life in government care. The NDP government followed through on the recommendation. The BC Liberals abolished the position in 2002, shortly after they first came to power, but created the independent representative’s office after Ted Hughes was asked to report on what was becoming a serious problem involving children in care. Turpel-Lafond took the new position in 2006. While she has made politicians squirm on many occasions, she is doing so because she is speaking on behalf of children, families and the general public. These children need an independent voice. They will never get that by relying solely on the existing child welfare system. Turpel-Lafond has demonstrated that she is truly independent. ~ Black Press

Pet owners might howl in protest over this Do pets make people happier or healthier? Do they enrich their lives and provide comfort? Well, according to research done by Howard Herzog, Professor of Psychology at the Western Carolina University, maybe not. Or, at least according to him, the jury’s still out on this one. No doubt, pet owners will howl in protest. In his article to be published this month in Current Directions of Psychological Science, a journal of the Association of Psychological Science, he argues that results of existing research on pet ownership are misleading. Some studies may suggest that pets contribute to positive health and help alleviate depression or lower blood pressure while other studies are inconclusive, suggesting pet owners might be worse off. But Herzog is quick to point

out that these studies suffer from methodological problems such as small samples, lack of appropriate control groups, and reliance on self-reporting on health and wellbeing, which can be less than accurate. “I’m not trying to denigrate the role of animals in Margaret human life,” said EVANS Herzog. “I’m trying to do just the opposite. It’s entirely plausible that our pets really do provide medical and psychological benefits but we just don’t know how strong that effect is, what types of people it works for, and what the underlying biological and psychological mechanisms might be.” He might have felt a bit more
reassured had he glanced at a Harris/Decima poll done last winter for Purina on the value Canadians place on their pets. The poll showed that 53 per cent of Canadians who own pets find them more reliable than people. They trust their pets as playmates, protectors, helpers, guides, confidantes, companions, athletic co-trainers and therapists. Dogs are considered undisputed members of a family with Atlantic Canadians leading that belief (94 per cent) and British Columbian pet owners not far behind at 91 per cent. For seniors, 82 per cent feel less alone when they have a pet at home and 86 per cent of people polled believe pets can ease a bad mood. To be fair to Herzog, who is an animal lover and pet owner, he recognizes the importance of animals in human life as well as research on human-animal rela-
tionships. “It offers a window into really big issues in human psychology.” He added that this kind of research could shed light on many cultural and ethical practices not to mention their therapeutic values. Around the world, many thousands of people benefit from service animals such as guide dogs for the blind, miniature horses that provide comfort to the seriously ill and dying, and specially trained dogs that provide support, affection and companionship to Canadian soldiers suffering from the debilitating symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. Pets are often a catalyst for human interaction. A walk in the park with the dog can often trigger pleasant conversation with others sharing stories about their own animals. Pets can alert their owners to danger in the home

and sense when things aren’t right such as a physical illness or a shift in emotions. “Let’s say it turns out that some kids with autism benefit from interacting with animals,” Herzog suggested. “Wouldn’t it be great to be able to know which kids are going to benefit and which aren’t?” He emphasized that much more rigorous research is needed, noting that the scientific community is starting to take these issues seriously. In 2008 the National Institutes of Health began to fund studies that examine the medical and psychological benefits of pets on children. He said he was encouraged that scientists in psychology are really becoming involved in this research. “I think in five years we’re going to have some answers to our questions,” he said.

Better idea than burning needed Plans to incinerate Metro Vancouver’s garbage are not going over well in Fraser Valley communities like Abbotsford and Chilliwack. This is not surprising considering the fact that pollutants released into the Lower Mainland’s air always end up hovering over the Fraser Valley where they become concentrated. People in the Fraser Valley fought hard to stop the Sumas 2
project a few years ago. They were equally relieved when it was announced that Burrard Thermal was being permanently shut down (once the biggest single source of greenhouse gas pollution in the whole province). So why would they be happy to hear about plans to incinerate Metro Vancouver’s garbage? To be fair to supporters of the garbage incineration plan, elec-
tricity would be generated through the incineration process. But B.C. has more than enough renewable green energy resources that we’ve barely even begun to tap into. Supporters of the incinerator plan might also point to jobs being created. But many more jobs would be created by tapping into B.C.’s renewable energy resources. Therefore, jobs and electricity from any
garbage incineration plan would essentially cancel out, which leaves us with air pollution as the only distinguishing feature of the incinerator plan. And if that’s the case, then perhaps a better plan than incinerating Metro Vancouver’s garbage downwind of Fraser Valley residents still needs to be found. Mike Taylor Port Moody
Locker theft left bitter aftertaste I write this letter as a warning to anyone who has ever had their personal ID stolen. Someone else out there wants credit in your name. That someone could be the thief themselves or a person who the information has been passed on or sold to. On May 29, 2011 my daughter’s ‘secured’ locker at the Chilliwack Leisure Centre was broken into. Personal items, identification, keys, phone, eye glasses, etc. were removed. We had our home locks, gate locks, and her car locks re-keyed rendering the stolen keys useless. At great cost and
inconvenience; we replaced the stolen items and identification, only to find out, two months later that someone is using the Internet and attempting to apply for credit in her name. We received a letter from Home Depot Credit Services stating that the recent application for credit was declined. When we contacted Equifax, we were informed that, someone was online attempting to gain credit in my daughter’s name. Equifax has now ‘red flagged’ my daughter’s name and the flag will remain on the account for years to come. She has never applied for credit and
will now have to explain herself, and prove that she is who she says she is anytime she applies for anything in the future. This is adding insult to injury. With Internet technology, thieves try to steal or forge identities, but this same technology enables law enforcement to trace Internet locations using IP addresses as well. For the first time in her life, my daughter has experienced the pain of property loss and has definitely changed her view about the trustworthiness of people or public lockers. Roberta A. Friesen

Raspberries ‘almost like instant jam’ Raspberry picking: coming-of-age employment for young teens Katie Bartel The Progress
Chantelle Den Boer, 13, was one of 11 young teenagers who made extra money last month picking raspberries at Berry Bounty Farms on Chilliwack Central Road. JUSTIN KEITCH/ PROGRESS
Chantelle Den Boer looks at her hands and giggles. For two weeks they’ve been stained a bright pink, bordering on raspberry red. But the 13-year-old hardly notices the stains anymore, it comes with the job, she says. Berry picking. Chantelle was one of 11 tweens and young teenagers hired to pick raspberries at Berry Bounty Farms on Chilliwack Central Road last month. While it wasn’t her first job, for most other kids it was. Berry picking is a coming-of-age employment for many young teens who are too old to stay at home under their parents’ watchful eyes, but too young for real employment. It’s a good training ground, says Dave Maljaars, who runs the family owned Berry Bounty Farms with his sons. “These kids are learning about the idea of commitment, of plugging away at something even when it’s not always fun. It’s very good experience for them.” But it’s not an easy job. With 31 rows of raspberries extending 1,000 feet that must be picked on both sides, Chantelle’s hands are not only stained, they’re torn up in several places by raspberry prickles. Some days they’ve even cramped up on her. “Depending on how good the berries are, it usually takes me until lunch to finish a row,” she says, her arms covered with sleeves, legs hidden by pants and feet stuck in gumboots – her strategy to ward off the bugs, prickles, and early morning
dew on the ground. “It can get messy,” she smiles. After three weeks on the farm, 12-year-old Laurans Bosman, who was picking three to four flats a day, says his picking pace is slowing down. “I’m a little tired,” he says, only managing to pick two flats by noon. “My back is feeling a bit sore.” Can you blame him? While many kids his age are spending their holidays sleeping until noon, Bosman and his fellow berry pickers are up at 5 a.m., on the job by 6 a.m. It doesn’t matter if the sun is blistering hot, or the rain pummeling down, these kids pick. It doesn’t matter if there are bees buzzing around or mosquitoes feeding off them, these kids pick. It doesn’t matter if the berries are plentiful or scarce, these kids pick. “I wanted to make some extra money,” says Chantelle. On average, she can pick two flats of berries by noon. At 65 cents a pound, 12 pounds of berries per flat, she makes approximately $15.60 for six hours of employment – $2.60 an hour. Some might balk at such pay, but Chantelle loves it. While her bosses are sticklers for picking the bushes clean of good berries, and making sure the flats are a solid 12 pounds, not an ounce less and no filler berries, they’re relaxed in many other areas. What other job allows its workers to eat as many berries as their bellies can contain or engage in spontaneous raspberry wars? “Yah, I like eating the berries,” Chantelle says, the sweet berry aroma wafting off a nearby bush. “It’s almost like instant jam.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33
Envirothon team wins top marks in oral presentation Katie Bartel The Progress They didn’t win, but oh man they came close. Chilliwack secondar y school’s Envirothon team walked away from this year’s Canon Envirothon competition 30 points out from breaking the top 10. At 21st overall, they gained 33 spots on last year’s dismal
last-place finish. They also scored best oral presentation. The competition was fierce, and the Chilliwack team focused, so focused team captain Connor Ford chewed dirt for the win. “I put the soil in my mouth and ground it on my teeth to figure out the texture,” said Ford, describing a soilscreening test he’d read
about prior to the competition. “It was really smooth on my hands and my teeth, but a little bit gritty, so I could tell it had about 10 to 20 per cent sand in it.” “Connor took one for the team,” laughed teammate Zach Greenwood. The Canon Envirothon competition is North America’s largest high school environmental edu-
cation competition with more than 500,000 students throughout Canada and the United States competing locally and regionally for a spot at the international competition, which awards cash prizes to the top-10 teams. The Chilliwack team worked for months, giving up lunch hours, spare blocks, after-school hours,
and even a month of their summer to prepare. This year’s competition, held last month in New Brunswick, had 55 teams with representation from 46 states and eight provinces. Participants were tested in five areas – all New Brunswick related – that included aquatics, wildlife, forestry, estuaries, soils and land use.
Each test was timed. “It was really stressful and intense, because it was a lot to remember – stuff we had to pull out of our heads,” said Greenwood. “We had to go on instinct.” There was no clock set up, they just had to work through the problems as fast as they could. When time was up, the judges told them Continued: ENVIRO/ p13

Chilliwack secondary hopes to break top-10 next year to drop everything and move to the next station. “It was hell,” said Andrea Bernard. “We couldn’t figure out if we were right, we just had to answer the questions. There was a lot of second guessing.” To prepare for the oral presentation, each team was given the scenario of building an oil refinery on the Bay of Fundy and were required to come up with ways of making it eco-friendly. They were then holed up in a tiny dorm room for 10 straight hours, not allowed to leave the room, unless for a washroom break, and then, only one at a time. A facilitator was placed outside the door to ensure no cheating. Tensions flared. “We were stuck in a room for 10 hours,”
said Bernard. “There was nowhere to go, nowhere to run, we couldn’t escape each other’s company.” And yet, they still came out on top. At the competition’s final banquet, the awards’ presenter waxed poetic about a team that had achieved one of the best marks in the oral category the competition had
ever seen, 179.33 out of 200. When Chilliwack’s name was called, its members sat in the audience oblivious. “I wasn’t really listening to the guy, because I knew he wouldn’t call us, but then he did,” said Bernard, who jumped out of her seat cheering as soon as it registered. The gains this year, have both Connie
Williams, CSS science teacher and Envirothon leader, and Greenwood, who’s going into Grade 12, excited for next year. “We’re so close,” said Williams. “Now we’ve just got one more thing to figure out how to get us even closer.” “Hopefully next year we’ll get into the top10,” said Greenwood, fingers crossed.

People buy a home for a lot of different reasons. They may want to put down roots in a community and create a sense of stability in their lives. Then there are the financial considerations and the “forced” savings that builds up in the form of equity. In addition, the monthly cost of owning a house is usually much more stable and predictable than renting. It may seem like “the impossible dream” to first-time buyers who have to stretch in order to purchase their first home. Many buyers can afford the monthly mortgage payments, but they may have difficulty covering the down payment and closing costs. If you are thinking about buying your first home, contact a real estate professional. Your Realtor can explain all the costs and requirements involved as well as direct you to competitive lending institutions. Although supply and demand had increased the prices of homes in the Chilliwack area, the current high number of listings have created an adjustment in prices and a buyers market. This combined with low mortgage rates still available, definitely make this an excellent time to

purchase a home. You should also consider the many housing options available. If you are not sure that you can afford a singlefamily home, there are beautiful condominiums and townhouses with amenities and prices that are designed to appeal to first-time buyers. An important part of a Realtor’s job is to educate prospective buyers about the potential benefits and responsibilities of owning versus renting a home. They can help you determine your purchasing power and show you the best homes in your price range. When you fix up a home to suit your needs and taste, you benefit from the added value of the improvements instead of the landlord! Over the long term, investing in a home today instead of renting will allow the home owner to have paid off the mortgage and be living rent-free. And don’t forget with each mortgage payment you are investing in the largest asset of your lifetime. If you are ready to buy your first home, let your Realtor assist you in making your dream a reality.
The Mission... The Vision... An Enduring Purpose... A Future Focus... Who Am I... My Promise... These words begin to describe how I differ for the norm. I have spent the past 16 years in the Sales, Marketing, and Advertising field. It is this background that gives me a unique perspective of how a home should be marketed. Are you tired of leaving messages that aren’t being returned? Do you find it annoying when the homes advertised in the newspapers are not as they seem? Wouldn’t it be nice to work with someone who understands your point of view? Nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than having satisfied clients whom I have helped to reach their real estate goals. I provide you with the highest degree of professional service excellence and customer satisfaction that is “TOUGH to BEAT.” I am Mike DellaFortuna, and it would be my pleasure to help you.

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey. I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here. So I feel like I’m well qualified to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

about 90,000 tonnes of waste per year. “We would slowly take those offline,” Moore said. He cautioned Metro’s estimates of 1.3 million tonnes still requiring disposal in the future is based on the region hitting all its diversion targets, including the short-term commitment of recycling 70 per cent by 2015, up from 55 per cent now. That will depend on

aggressive new recycling efforts, tightened disposal bans and region-wide composting of food waste. The new waste-toenergy plant would take the 500,000 tonnes per year Metro now sends to the Cache Creek landfill. Another 500,000 tonnes goes to the Vancouver Landfill in Delta, while close to 280,000 tonnes goes to the Burnaby
incinerator. Metro previously committed to stop trucking its garbage to Cache Creek, although continued landfilling remains a backup option in the new plan. Moore said there are plans to decrease use of the Vancouver Landfill over the long term, but noted some landfill capacity is needed as a contingency and to take ash from incinerated garbage.

The two regions, at odds over the public health risks, have one year to agree on emission standards and environmental monitoring for any new incinerator. If they can’t agree, the dispute goes to arbitration. What counts as a “reasonable” objection? No one knows. But the hammer of arbitration and subsequent provincial approvals necessar y for any plant could still allow Victoria to block in-region incineration, in response to the demands of Valley residents. Moore said he’s hopeful staff of both regional districts can look objectively at the issues. “Frankly, I’d like to try to take some of the politics out of it.” He said Metro is committed to using the best emissions control systems available.
One concern of recycling advocates – that building an incinerator will lock Metro into using it rather than continuing to improve recycling rates – is inaccurate, according to Metro waste committee chair Greg Moore. If Metro gets beyond its new 2020 target of 80 per cent diversion and doesn’t require as much disposal capacity, he said, the Burnaby waste-to-energy plant would be gradually decommissioned. It has three burners and streams feeding them that each process

Turnovers costly as Huskers lose to Broncos
Chilliwack quarterback Adann Hendrickson has had a rough start to the 2011 season. Hendrickson had five interceptions in a 37-14 loss to the Kamloops Broncos on Saturday, and will hope for better things this Saturday as his team travels to Victoria to face the Rebels. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
The Chilliwack Huskers are 0-2 to start the 2011 season following their second straight home-field loss. Chilliwack dropped a 37-14 decision to the Kamloops Broncos Saturday night at Exhibition Stadium. In a game that was closer than the final score would indicate, it was special teams and turnovers making the difference. Kamloops return man Derek Apps had the biggest impact of any player with a 98 yard punt return touchdown. Apps averaged 11.75 yards on his other four returns, making sure the Kamloops offence played on a shorter field. Apps was equally disruptive on defence, picking off two Adann Hendrickson passes and taking one back 53 yards for a major. Hendrickson had a tough night throwing the football. The Maple Ridge
native was sacked twice and intercepted five times in total, with Tyler Lee, Shayne Arthurs and Drew Markortoff also picking the pivot. Ryan Williams added a fumble recovery as the Huskers struggled to hang on to the ball. With veteran tailback/return man Ben Skerrett sidelined by injury, Misha Otanga got the nod as Chilliwack’s starting running back. The Abbotsford native carried nine times for 49 yards. Jake McKinnon led all Huskers with four catches for 61 yards. Chilliwack’s Dylan Boykowich caught two balls for 12 yards, as did Adam Leggott. Peter Johns was the big play threat, reeling in three balls for 100 yards, including a 70 yard touchdown toss from Hendrickson. Despite spending far too much time on the field and playing most of the game with their backs against the wall, Chilliwack’s defence did a decent job holding the Broncos in check The Broncos ground game was tough to handle, rolling up 124
yards. Mike McMaster had 11 carries for 77 yards and one touchdown. Kamloops quarterback Drew Jacobson threw 22 passes, completing just nine for 128 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Rookie cornerback Tanner Hamade had a 50 yard interception return for a touchdown. Levi Weaver also had a pick and Brad Bomberry came up with a fumble recovery. Chilliwack now hits the road for the first time this year, making the long trek to Victoria on Saturday to face the Westshore Rebels at Bear Mountain Stadium. The Huskers faced the Rebels in week one of the season, dropping a 37-8 decision at Exhibition Stadium. Chilliwack’s next home game is Aug. 21 versus the Vancouver Island Raiders. Kick off is 2 p.m. Get Husker info at www.chilliwackhuskers.org. Get B.C. Football Conference standings and stats at www.bcjuniorfootball.ca.
Ole Miss Rebels top Cascades in preseason tilts
Dan Kinvig, Black Press Upset victories weren’t in the cards for the University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team last week as they dropped a pair of preseason games to the University of Mississippi Rebels. But along the way, the Cascades earned a great deal of respect from the visiting NCAA Division I squad. UFV came out on fire in the first game, held
last Wednesday night at Abbotsford’s Envision Athletic Centre. The Cascades raced out to an early 10-2 lead, and led 21-10 after the first quarter. But the Rebels cranked up the defensive intensity at that point, and their effective full-court pressure and superior size in the post paved the way to a 77-59 victory. “That game was probably the most physical game I’ve ever been involved in,” Rebels coach Renee Ladner mar veled after ward. “Their team is very fundamentally sound, and I think we were a bit surprised by their physicality. “They literally popped us in the mouth to start the game, and we stepped back. Once we got adjusted and figured out they (the refer-
ees) were going to let us play this way, I thought our kids stepped up and played with them.” Al Tuchscherer’s squad only had one full practice prior to Wednesday’s game, but the Cascades head coach said he was still “a little bit disappointed” to see some of his team’s breakdowns in the defence and rebounding departments. “They’re a lot more athletic than us, obviously,” Tuchscherer noted. “We had a good start, but then they started moving a little quicker and jumping a little higher, and we didn’t respond to that. “You can’t miss a rebounding assignment, you can’t be slow in transition. We’re having a lot of those breakdowns, and it’s good for us to address that, but
it sucks that it’s happening.” That said, Tuchscherer saw some very positive signs. Third-year guard Aieisha Luyken appears poised for a breakout season – she played with a great deal of confidence on Wednesday, and had little trouble getting to the hoop. “She’s just killed it this off-season,” Tuchscherer said of Luyken. “She’s in the gym every day. She’s kind of turned into that player that we hoped she would, just in terms of her preparation and her approach to the game in all aspects.” Four rookies made their UFV debuts on Wednesday – the former W.J. Mouat trio of Kayli Sartori, Katie Brink and Jaslyen Singh, and Lauren Sollero out of
Coquitlam’s Centennial Secondary. Sartori, the most hyped recruit of the bunch, was particularly impressive. She came off the bench midway through the first quarter, and after a bit of a tentative start, she notched her first basket as a Cascade on a pretty driving layup. She would go on to swish a pair of threepointers, and was one of the better UFV players on the night. Tuchscherer noted that making their debut against an NCAA foe represented a bit of a trial by fire for the rookies. “I think they’re scared spitless,” he said with a chuckle. “You see it every year, because we always start out with these NCAA games.
Our rookies are just petrified in the changeroom before. They’re just shaking. You tell them, ‘Just go out there and play and have some fun.’” The Cascades and Rebels hooked up again Friday night, with Ole Miss taking an 85-69 decision. UFV trailed 37-33 at halftime, but another solid second half carried the Rebels to victory. Winnipeg’s Tessa Klassen led all Cascades with a team high 17 point performance. Chilliwack’s Courtney Bartel added 13 points and Luyken 10 points. Klassen and Sarah Wierks (Chilliwack) led the Cascades with six total rebounds. This is the first time the Ole Miss women’s hoopsters have toured in
Canada. They’re in B.C. for the week, also taking on Canada’s World University Games team, and the Thompson Rivers WolfPack. “It’s been incredible,” Ladner said. “It’s beautiful here, and it’s a different culture. We’re learning a lot.” Wednesday’s game was the first of several games against NCAA opponents at UFV. The Cascades women host the University of Louisville on Sunday. The UFV men’s hoopsters host the University of Texas-Arlington on Aug. 22, Whitman College (NCAA Div. III) on Aug. 26, and the University of Santa Clara on Sept. 9. Each of the games tips off at 7 p.m. Get more information online at www.ufv. ca/athletics.

Silver stars at lacrosse nationals Local Chilliwack lacrosse players Ashley Heisler and Crystal Blesch both won silver medals at the 2011 Bantam-Midget Girls Lacrosse National Championships, held last week at Queen’s Park Arena in New Westminster. Heisler was a member of the Midget BC team that went 6-0 through the round-robin portion of the tournament, beating Ontario twice in preliminary games.
Ontario got the last laugh in the gold medal game, squeaking out a 3-1 win. Heisler played in the Chilliwack Minor Lacrosse system for eight years before making the move to the Langley Thunder midget girl’s team this past season.

HWANG Ana Lorena
nee Ramirez-Barrantes With heavy hearts, we announce the unexpected passing of Ana Hwang. Ana passed into the HWANG arms of Jesus, at her home on August 1, 2011. She was born in Costa Rica in 1960. She is predeceased by her father and brother. Ana is survived by her mother Marina Barrantes - Rodrigues; sister, Maria Ramirez – Barrantes; sons, Jose (Sherri), Edgar (Marisol) and Sung Hwa Alex and daughter, Sung Em Mary. She was a loving Abuela to her grandchildren (siblings) Diego, Deanna, Dante, Damian and (siblings) Henisis, Veronica and Fabio. Thank you to her good friend and confident Campbell McGovern and many others. In September 1986, Ana first moved to Canada. In 1991, she returned to Costa Rica to visit much loved family and friends. Ana returned to Canada to celebrate the birth of her first grandchild, settling in Chilliwack soon after. She was a kind lady with a child-like sense of humour. She overcame many of life’s struggles through her faith in God. Ana was a hard worker and always put others first. She would often be heard saying, “Me love you too much!” Ana enjoyed life’s simple pleasures. She appreciated going for coffee with friends, watching movies at home and visiting family. Ana spent the last few years of her life volunteering her extra time at St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church. Her loving spirit will live on in the lives of those she touched. The family would like to say a special “Thank You” to the Chilliwack Mental Health Unit, to St. Paul’s, for all the support received and all other professionals involved with Ana’s care. A service honouring Ana’s life will be held on Tuesday, August 9, 2011 at 1:00pm at St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran Church, 8871 School Street, Chilliwack. Lunch will follow In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Ana’s name to her memorial fund at St. Paul’s Church.

SCHUH Madeleine
It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Madeleine Schuh, a cherished spouse, SCHUH mother, grandmother and friend whose life reflected endless service, love, and kindness. Our Angel continues on her journey. Forever missed. Never forgotten. Her husband of almost 54yrs, Alfred; daughters Denise (Mike) Cochran, and Cheryl Schuh; granddaughters Elise Cochran and Monique Cochran; and a multitude of wonderful friends lovingly and respectfully honour her memory. Born in Fernie, BC, a coalminers daughter to Andre and Louise Arnaud in 1935, her life was her family, friends, and music. She played alto saxophone in the Fernie high school, eventually obtaining Toronto Conservatory certification and taught piano, played and sang in the Chilliwack choir, and in her most recent years, accompanied her husband as they played music for many community services and events. She will always be remembered as an active community builder; and one who always provided an open door and generous hospitality for all. She passed at 604pm, 4 Aug 2011 peacefully at home with family. There will be no funeral service as per her wishes.
