WTE approval in Metro Vancouver ‘not acceptable’ to Fraser Valley Robert Freeman The Progress A waste management plan for Metro Vancouver that includes waste-to-energy incineration has been approved by the B.C. Environment Minister. The approval includes a number of pre-conditions, including consultation with the Fraser Valley Regional District before WTE incineration sites are approved. But none of it is acceptable to FVRD chair Patricia Ross or Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “We have undertaken three years of world-wide research looking at the best of WTE technology, and there’s none of them acceptable in this airshed,” Ross said. Environment minister Terry Lake has “completely missed the point” of the FVRD’s objections to WTE, she said, which is that a new point source of pollutants should not be added to the Fraser Valley airshed “even with the best of standards.” Ross called on Fraser Valley residents to take a stand against proposed WTE sites like they did against the SE2 power plant and “bombard” the minister with emails of opposition. “This will be worse than SE2 because the toxins will be way worse,” she said. Gaetz called on Premier Christy Clark to “overthrow” the minister’s decision, and for Chilliwack MLAs John Les and Barry Penner to stand up for the Fraser Valley. Les opposed building WTE facilities at a public meeting last summer, and Penner was a vocal opponent of SE2. Ross said WTE facilities will only be required to report a “small handful of the pollutants” actually emitted, “so what they say they will emit and what is actually going into the air are two very different stories.” “What will happen is what we saw happen in Durham, Ontario,” she said, where the company bidding for approval claimed a low amount of emissions would be produced. “They are now admitting double the particulate matter emissions than they originally estimated,” Ross said. “But now, no one wants to go back and revisit, so it proceeds regardless of the impacts.” Gaetz said if the environment minister hoped to “placate” the Fraser Valley with promises of consultation “we are not placated.” Continued: WTE/ p11

Chilliwack’s Jason Campbell speaks with Mayor Sharon Gaetz during a stop at City Hall while finishing the last portion of his cross-Canada bicycle fundraiser for Canuck Place in Abbotsford. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Tour de kids comes through Chilliwack Katie Bartel The Progress Fifty two days, 8,046 kilometres, 16 flat tires, one cyclist. From June 1 to July 26, Chilliwack resident Jason Campbell rode his Giant bike, with a loaded travel trailer on the back, from St. John’s Newfoundland to Vancouver in support of Abbotsford Canuck Place. He did it for his mom. Campbell’s mom Paulette died in 2005 after a 15-year battle with cancer that started with breast cancer and ended with bone and lymph

node cancer. She was 50 years old. On a brief stop in Chilliwack before the final 100 km of his trek to Canuck Place in Vancouver, the retired corporal told media of his hopes to raise enough money to have a wing dedicated to his mom at the new Canuck Place being built in Abbotsford. So far, he’s raised approximately $5,000 of his $20,000 goal. Being the primary caregiver for his mom in the last four months of her life, and knowing how painful it was for him to see her deteriorate, he could only imagine

how devastating it would be for parents going through similar situations with their young children. And no matter how tough or hilly the roads became, how long and arduous Ontario seemed, how fatigued his legs were, or how selfish the drivers on the roads acted, visions of his mom and thoughts of sick kids kept his pedals moving. “Those little kids who are sick, and even my mom when she was sick, they still got up smiling,” he said. “And if they could do that, I could keep pedaling.” This was Campbell’s sec-

ond fundraising bike ride. In 2009, he rode to Regina, Saskatchewan, where he raised over $7,000 for the hospice his mom passed away in. Even though he’s been riding a bike since he was a kid, he doesn’t consider himself an avid cyclist. “It’s just what I do,” he said.

‘Exciting changes’ coming to UFV: new board chair The Progress “The people of the Fraser Valley are going to see some exciting changes in the coming years,” says Larry Stinson, the new chairman of the board of governors at the University of the Fraser Valley. But there are also some challenges ahead as the university struggles to find the funding to meet a growing demand for post-secondary eduction. “We’re already, at this

point, seven per cent over full occupancy,” Stinson said in a telephone interview Monday. “One of our challenges going forward is how to accommodate ever yone who wants to come to UFV,” he said. Stinson, a Chilliwack lawyer, is taking over the chairmanship from Ron Thomson, former Abbotsford Times publisher, who steps down this summer. The board is made up of local citizens, elected faculty, staff and students whose

mandate is to oversee the management, administration and control of the university’s property, revenue, and business affairs. Stinson said UFV’s new campus at the Canada Education Park in Chilliwack is expected to open in the spring of next year, with most programs from the old campus on Yale Road moved there by May, 2012. The new campus at the education park will include an “aboriginal gathering place” which is part of UFV’s continuing effort to

attract more First Nations students. But Stinson notes that the number of high school graduates in the Fraser Valley who go on to postsecondary Larry Stinson education is “somewhat lower” than the provincial average. “That something we want to see remedied,” he said.

But the university must look for other funding sources, as competing demand for provincial government revenues increases. A more entrepreneurial approach at the university is one possible remedy, Stinson said, with students and faculty entering applied research contracts with the business community. International students are also a source of revenue, but their enrolment is presently capped at 10 per cent of the student population, which currently stands at

Nothing sweet about this year’s honey crop Cold spring and summer has put a damper on honey production Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Between the devastating global bee virus and the rainy and cold spring, many honey farmers are in serious trouble. “Our honey crops are way down,” Pia Awram of Honeyview Farm told the Progress. “It was a double whammy this year.” Honeyview usually has about 4,000 bee hives at their Rosedale farm, but this year about half of the bees didn’t make it through the winter and spring. They’re not alone. Bee colonies around the world are reporting high winter mortality numbers, and scientists are pointing to pesticide over-use, air pollution and parasites among the possible causes. The local honey farmers had to act fast, so they divided up the hives, gave the remaining bees new queens, and are now hoping the colonies will thrive and succeed. The Honeyview apiary is run by the father-and-son team of Jerry Awram and Peter Awram. Jerry’s wife, Pia, operates the Honeyview farm store and packing operations. Flowering of local blueberries, raspberries and blackberries is but over for the summer, and the yields were all “very poor.”

about 15,400 full- or parttime students. Because UFV is now governed by the University Act, it has a “bicameral” structure made up of a board of governors, which sets the philosophical direction to be followed by a senate and administration. Stinson has been connected to UFV since its early days as a college teaching a variety of legal topics, and also occasionally serving as legal counsel. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Chilliwack woman facing attempted murder charge Victim in critical condition

The endless rain has also hurt them since the bees can’t fly in it, and the flowers don’t yield nectar, and that translated into a dramatic drop in the honey crop. “We’ve never seen a year this bad,” said Awram. The local farm has been making delicious honey in this location since 1985. With the weather this spring and summer, it’s going to mean their poorest year on record. “Berry crops are amazingly good, but not the honey crop,” she said. Their bees usually polli-

nate the flowers needed by local growers to produce a good berry set. “But we could barely supply the demand this spring,” said Awram. The estimated value of honey bees for crop pollination nation-wide is more than $2 billion, according to the Canadian Honey Council. Just to keep the bees alive month after month of rainy and cool weather, the Awrams had to spend a whopping $25,000 on sugar syrup and pollen supplement. “We also spent time equal-

izing the colonies and dividing them to replace the lost ones. We had two extra fulltime beekeepers.” Those extra expenses add up for the hard-working farmers. At this time of year, the hives are moved to Alberta for clover and alfalfa. “Most have gone now,” she said. But the weather has been just as bad across Alberta, as it has been here, she said. The good news is there will be just enough honey from Honeyview to supply the provincial market and

the public, but unfortunately they anticipate having to disappoint the bulk buyers in the export market this year. “We hope our customers will understand if the prices have to be raised.” Everyone is invited to visit the farm store to peruse a range of honey and beerelated products like pollen or propolis, or try the Aromatica Fine Teas and Soaps on Young Road, Yellow Barn Country Produce or Cannor Nursery on Lickman Road. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

A 31-year-old Chilliwack woman is facing an attempted murder charge for stabbing the man she was living with in a Vedder Road apartment Sunday. The 47-year-old victim was reported in critical condition Monday at Peace Arch Hospital. Police said the man was stabbed in the abdomen at about 3:30 p.m. and was taken by ambulance to Chilliwack General Hospital where he underwent surgery before transfer to the Peace Arch Hospital. The female was arrested at the residence located in the 5800-block Vedder Road, and remains in custody. An investigation by the Chilliwack RCMP serious crime unit continues, and the Lower Mainland Forensic Identification Section is expected to join them when a search warrant is executed later on Monday. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Skwah call for wild salmon protection Jennifer Feinberg The Progress If it comes down to a question of farmed salmon versus wild salmon, it’s wild all the way, said Skwah First Nation leaders. Among all the threats to Fraser River salmon, fish farms are seen by many as the most dangerous threat of all to the long-term survival of wild salmon. The local Sto:lo community of Skwah First Nation in Chilliwack hosted an open meeting July 19 with wild salmon activists, in part to discuss the findings of the Cohen Commission inquiry into the collapse of the 2009 Fraser River Sockeye. As a result, Skwah officials are now calling for: • Viral testing of salmon farms; • Removal of open-net fish farms from the ocean; and • Fish farms required to pay for toxic sludge removal First Nations from several Fraser River communities are joining forces to have salmon feedlots removed from the ocean.

“It’s unbelievable to read records of the Cohen Commission on how the aquaculture industry deflects attention from what they are doing to Fraser River Sockeye by blaming climate change and First Nations Fisheries for the collapse of wild salmon stocks,” said Skwah elder Eddie Gardner. “This is ridiculous.” It’s seen also as a substantial threat to a way of life. “Wild salmon have sustained aboriginal people along the coast and along the Fraser River and its tributaries since time immemorial. Salmon are an essential part of our diet and is an integral part of our culture and spiritual connection to the natural world,” said Skwah band councillor Dean Williams. Gardner and others are preparing for the aquaculture hearings starting in late August, with a rally at the Vancouver Art Gallery on August 30. “We’ve been supporting the removal of fish farms from the ocean for many years because they do harm wild salmon and pollute the ocean,” said Lester Mussel, Fishing Portfolio holder

for Skwah First Nation. They don’t believe what they’re hearing from fish farm proponents. “Now we see this industry aggressively pursuing expansion that will only mean speeding up the extinction of our wild salmon. This has to stop,” said Skwah Chief Robert Combes. Salmon Are Sacred co-founder Anissa Reed met with wild salmon warriors at Skwah last week to bring attention to the 100,000 voices strong campaign, a follow up to the biggest rally in the history of B.C. last May when more than 5,000 people were at the Victoria Legislature demanding salmon feedlots “Get Out!” Last October saw a five-day journey of paddlers who travelled from Hope to Vancouver on the Fraser River to urge fish farms to get out of the wild salmon’s migratory routes. This powerful pulling together was influential in getting the Cohen Commission to require 10 years of disease data from 120 fish farms be presented to the hearings, said Reed.

Good and bad news There is both good news and bad news in the latest financial figures from the provincial government. The final numbers for the 2010-11 fiscal year, which ended on March 31, show that the province ran a deficit of $309 million — much lower than projected. This is due partially to strong economic growth and additional tax revenue, but it is also due to a large payment from Ottawa of $769 million. This payment is related to the decision to implement the HST, which has yet to be ratified by voters. If it is turned down, that money will have to be paid back. Sales taxes brought in more than $5 billion, with $4.176 billion coming from the HST, which went into effect on July 1, 2010. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said that it will cost the province about $3 billion if the HST is rejected by voters. Only some of that number can be quantified — the only known figure is the $1.6 billion transition payment from Ottawa which will almost certainly have to be paid back. The good news about the 2010-11 fiscal year is that the deficit was lower than expected. Yet the bad news is that another $3.3 billion has been added to the provincial debt, which now stands at more than $45 billion. It is obvious, but remains unsaid, that the HST is a cash cow which the Liberals see as closing the fiscal gap and bringing about an eventual surplus. They may even use some of its proceeds to pay down the debt, should they get that chance. The NDP, on the other hand, opposes the HST and wants the provincial sales tax to come back. Whether it would raise as much money is uncertain. Yet the NDP must eventually give definite answers as to how it would balance the books. The party may well form the next provincial government. ~ Black Press

Asian gravy train worth pursuing: Clark Last week, the Council of the Federation, other wise casually known as the premiers’ conference, met in Vancouver to brainstorm trade initiatives and strategies to position provinces and territories in the global economy. Among the initiatives hashed out, a key one was to broaden and strengthen relationships with Asia and capitalize on the advantages of our personal, cultural and business connections nurtured through our diversity and multicultural policies. Over the past few decades, Asia has made a stunning transformation as its consumer-hungry middle class explode with new wealth and opportunity. Their influence has proven formidable. After all, they represent 60 per cent of the world’s population and with coin in their pockets to spend they have become the driving force behind their countries’ investments in infrastructure such as roads, railways, expan-

sion of towns and cities and new airports. Yet according to the Council, Canada has no trade agreements with Asia despite the fact that expor ts to the region are impressive. According to the Canada West Foundation, Western Canada exports to Asia reached $29.9 billion in 2010 of which British Margaret Columbia’s EVANS expor ts were $11.8 billion, not far behind our province’s U.S. exports at $13.7 billion. In their press release, the premiers said that “The federal government must set a new and ambitious trade and liberalization agenda to guide Canada’s engagement with Asian countries.” They encouraged the federal government to achieve the Canada-

India Comprehensive Economic Partnership Agreement with their participation. Free trade negotiations with India were launched last September when the Hon. Peter Van Loan, minister of international trade, visited New Delhi. India is one of the fastest-growing economies on the planet and it is projected to be the world’s third largest economy in less than 40 years. Given its billion-plus population, rising per capita income levels, expanding manufacturing base, high tech services, growing infrastructure, natural resource requirements and close cultural ties, there are huge opportunities for Canadian companies. Historically, the U.S. has been our most important trading partner and continues to be so. Our share of trade to the U.S. is rising but it’s rising even more with trade with the Asia Pacific region.

Apparently, this year has been designated the Year of India in Canada by the Government of India with activities taking place in several provinces to help Canadians know more about the country, its people, cultures, traditions and economies. Considering a recent poll, that’s pretty timely. Despite all the economic growth and predicted opportunities, an opinion poll commissioned by the Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada and done by Angus Reid found that Canadians were remarkably disconnected from the idea that Canada is part of the Asia Pacific region, never mind warm and fuzzy toward individual Asian countries.

thought China’s influence would be greater than the U.S. in ten years whereas one- third believed India’s influence would surpass the States in a decade. But attitudes toward Asian countries are pretty cool. Only one in 10 Canadians feel warmly toward China, India, South Korea and Southeast Asia compared to six in ten Canadians who feel warmly toward Australia, a country similar in many ways (language, currency, traditions, lifestyles) to Canada. Within 12 months, the premiers will pursue a joint Council of the Federation mission to Asia with the federal government to promote an international trade agenda for Canada. Premier Clark is on the right track when encouraging all premiers to get on board the Asian gravy train. Long term, we’ll all benefit from that economic ride.

Although initially strongly negative on the HST, I have long since realized my feelings were really a reaction to Gordon Campbell’s assumption that he could get away with not explaining it in advance, so that it could be debated publicly before it was passed into law. That assumption cost him the premiership. Clearly, the HST, as originally presented, would have cost me more in taxes, but I eventually realized that it was in the best long term interest of the province, in terms of jobs and the

economy. Those long term benefits to my children and grandchildren are what made me decide that I would vote to keep the HST. Now with the rebates and the phased in reduction in HST to 10 per cent, there will be little if any increase in net tax to most people. I have read the Independent Panel’s report on the HST. It spells out the pros and cons of both the HST and the previous PST/GST. It is very informative and not difficult reading. Want to read it? Google

“HST of PST/GST? It’s Your Decision”. But remember, the report was issued before the government announced that the HST would be reduced to 10 per cent, and also before the promised rebates, which together make the impact really very palatable. I am convinced that overall the benefits of staying with the HST are more than worth the short term net cost of paying a little more for comparatively few goods and services. Join me in voting to keep the HST. Jake Wiebe

statement of commitment mandated by the Ministry of Education to improve success for every student. The new contract is a more readable document that’s more streamlined in its goals and objectives, said assistant superintendent Ruth Wiebe. “All our goals are tied to student growth.” The contract contains “I can” statements surrounding student engagement, successful transitions, communication and technology,

one of which includes “I can adapt and apply what I already know to new situations.” In school, students are encouraged to use “I can” statements for empowerment. The goal of using the statements in the district achievement contract is to produce students who are flexible thinkers, fluent in literacy and numeracy, and who are able to process and use their knowledge in a variety of situations. There are also goals

for staff to be engaged in ongoing learning, and for parents and the larger community to be active partners involved directly in supporting students in their learning. Reworking the contract had input from more than 100 stakeholders. The new contract is in effect from now until 2014. It replaces the last one, which was developed in 2008. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Young girl ‘approached’ An 11-year-old girl was approached by two men in an older-model, blue cargo van Thursday as she was walking her dog along Watson Road just before 1 p.m. Thursday. “When the passenger in the van told her to get in the vehicle, she turned around and ran home to call 911,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said in a news release. “She said the vehicle didn’t follow her, and kept on driving the opposite way,” Hollingsworth said. The girl described the passenger as a white male, about 30-40 years old, with a slender face and a black goatee with scruffy black hair. She could not describe the driver, and did not get the licence plate of

the vehicle. Police made extensive patrols of the area, but could not locate the van. The investigation continues. Hollingsworth said the young girl did the right thing by not talking to the man and by running home and calling police. She asked parents to remind their children not to talk to strangers, and to trust their instincts, if approached. “If something doesn’t feel right, then it probably isn’t,” she said. Anyone with information about the incident that happened in the 45200block Watson Road is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Fraser Valley vows to fight WTE WTE from Front “We are angry and frustrated,” Gaetz said. “We are opposed to incineration, period.” “To think that Metro Vancouver will be able to put more garbage into our airshed is frustrating to us,” she said. Ben West at the Wilderness Committee also criticized the decision. “The real fight will begin when

they pick a location and try to build one of these pollution-spewing garbage-burning monsters,” he said. “Wherever they try to do this, we will be there to make sure people know the truth about what is being proposed in their backyard,” he said. The pre-conditions include: • consultation with the FVRD to address air quality concerns prior to construction of a new or expanded WTE facility.

• establishment of a working group with the FVRD to develop recommendations on WTE emission standards and environmental monitoring, as well as mitigation measures to address “reasonable concerns of the FVRD” with respect to additional WTE in-region. If no agreement can be reached an arbitrator is to make a recommendation and report to the environment minister.

Once it was only a spoon full of sugar that helped the medicine go down. Today, it could be the taste of raspberry, strawberry cream, or even marshmallow. And that’s just the beginning, says Trish Johnson, pharmacy manager at Pharmasave in Sardis Village. It’s got to do with a new trend in health sciences: “Customized compounding services.” Compounding, Johnson explains, makes it easier for pharmacists to tailor medications to a person’s specific needs (or even tastes). It allows them to create medications from scratch, allowing more effective delivery and even improved effectiveness. A simple example is if a child

Mehr owns a family of Lower Mainland pharmacies – including the Pharmasave at Sardis Village – that have brought back this customized service. Pharmacists like Johnson receive special training, and their labs are custom built to ensure safety and effectiveness. The result allows Johnson and her team to “tweak” prescriptions and custom fit them for their clients. If, for example, a client responds better to a topical application of a medication instead of a pill, Johnson can create a cream specially formulated for that client. “It gives you more flexibility,” she says.

is unable – or unwilling – to swallow a pill. Johnson and her team can build the prescription from scratch, turning the medication into a syrup that the child won’t mind taking. But there’s more, Johnson says. The real point behind compounding is to give clients greater flexibility in the medications they’re prescribed. It’s not an entirely new concept. Years ago that’s the way pharmacies dispensed medication. Drugs were ground, mixed and assembled into their appropriate dosages. That changed with the advent of large pharmaceutical companies. The art of compounding medications waned as large manufacturing took over. Today, that’s changing. Bob

Chilliwack legion donates $2,000 to fight impaired driving For the past month BCAA sales centres around the province have been fundraising to bring a Mobile Impaired Driving Testing Unit to British Columbia for use in the fight against impaired driving. In support of the Back the Bus campaign, the BCAA sales centres around the province have been holding fundraising events with all money raised going toward the campaign. Tom Quirke, president of the Vedder Golden Royal Canadian Legion Branch #280 and Walter Webster, Sergeant-at-arms, recently presented a cheque for $2,000 to Dawn Therres, manager, Chilliwack BCAA sales centre in support of the Back the Bus campaign. The Legion’s interest in the campaign was first sparked when another Legion member had been into the centre and mentioned that the Legion loves

to support causes like Alexa’s Bus. In B.C. the Mobile Impaired Driving Testing Until will be branded Alexa’s Bus, in memory of four-year old Alexa Renée Middelaer who was struck and killed on a Delta road in May 2008 by a vehicle driven by an impaired driver.

Designed as a “mobile billboard”, these buses enhance public awareness of impaired driving laws and sanctions and provide a powerful message that discourages driving impaired. Alexa’s Bus would travel to schools and community events where students and the public would tour the bus

and learn all about the dangers of impaired driving and the police booking process. Recently, Alexa’s mother Laurel Middelaer traveled the province to honour police officers for their diligence in removing impaired drivers from community roads.

News Woman in custody for locker room thefts Robert Freeman The Progress A 41-year-old woman from Hope is in custody and facing theft charges in connection with three reports of items stolen Tuesday from lockers at the Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre. Police say the woman admitted breaking into three lockers that day in the women’s change room at the recreation centre, stealing a necklace and a ring from one of the lockers, an iPhone from another, and a purse and car keys from a third. The victim whose purse and car keys were stolen returned home and was standing on her balcony when she noticed a man and woman outside acting suspiciously.

The suspect couple called a taxi and left, apparently spooked by the sight of the victim standing on her balcony. Two members of the RCMP Crime Reduction Unit located her vehicle, then viewed surveillance video at the recreation centre and identified the suspect, who is known to police. The CRU members then went to a residence frequented by the suspect, and located a stolen purse and insurance registration papers for the stolen vehicle. Police said the suspect also showed the CRU members where the stolen car keys were located. They were recovered and returned to the victim. The stolen ring, an engagement ring from a deceased husband, was also returned.

“The woman who had her ring stolen was absolutely thrilled to get it back as she had had it for over 60 years,” said RCMP Cpl. Kerry Williams, a CRU member. The male seen with the accused woman is still being sought by police. Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth encouraged victims of theft, no matter how small, to report them to police. “In this case, due to the victims reporting the thefts, the outcome was successful as property was returned to rightful owners and the woman responsible for the crimes will be held accountable,” she said. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

B.C. appoints five provincial court judges Black Press VICTORIA – Five new provincial court judges will help B.C.’s backlogged court system, but the system is still falling behind, says NDP justice critic Leonard Krog. New judges were named Sunday by Attorney-General Barry Penner to serve in Surrey, Vernon, Williams Lake and Prince George. The new appointments will allow the chief judge of the provincial court to assign an extra judge to Vancouver as well. Krog said the five new judges represent fewer than a third of the 17 the provincial court estimated were needed in a report on the issue last fall. Numerous prosecutions have been dropped because of delays in getting them to trial, and thousands more are at risk of the same fate. In late June, Penner reversed a budget cut to part-time sheriffs that reduced the service by the equivalent of 34 full-time sheriffs, after judges raised the alarm about risks to courtroom security. Sheriffs are responsible for keeping order in courtrooms and moving prisoners to and from custody for their court appearances.

“We’re down about 100 [sheriffs] from where we were a few years ago, and that led to a number of court cases being delayed,” Krog said Monday. Changes to B.C.’s impaired driving regulations are also reducing the load on the provincial court system. The government esti-

mated that impaired cases were taking up half the available time in some courthouses, but switching to roadside administrative penalties has led to a 75 per cent drop in impaired cases going to court. Krog said the inadequate legal aid funding is creating more pressure on the overtaxed

court system. Family cases involving custody, access and maintenance are increasingly being heard in provincial court, often without lawyers, he said. 7-11T PR26

Annabelle Cook is one of nine volunteers at the Cultural Centre recently recognized for putting in more than 100 hours of volunteer work. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Patrons have spent their hard-earned money on tickets, Cook said, and they enjoy being catered to a little bit on their night off. Cook has held a range of volunteer positions from usher, to concession worker, to merchandiser. “That was a ball,” she remembers. “I have thoroughly enjoyed it all, and I suggest that everyone give it a whirl.” She’s lived in Chilliwack all her life. “It’s a good town to grow up in and raise my children in,” she says. “So it’s nice to give back.

“It’s a privilege to live here and it’s a good feeling when you can hold your head up high and feel like you helped build this town.” Those 100+ volunteers include: Ruth Niemann, Lesley Slot, Anna McElroy, Annabelle Cook, Bonnie Mason, Sharon Pauls, Lorraine Britton, Deanna Gow, and Ann Aichholz. To find out more about volunteering opportunities, contact Theresia Reid, at 604-392-8000, e-mail theresia@ chilliwackculturalcentre.ca, or in person at the box office to pick up volunteer registration forms. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno 7-11T PR26

They greet everyone warmly, serve refreshing lemon water during intermission, and expertly usher guests to their comfy seats. Dedicated volunteers at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre have logged several thousand hours since the new facility opened last fall. Annabelle Cook is one of nine volunteers who happily toiled more than 100 hours at the beautiful new Chilliwack facility in a range of capacities. A special name tag was presented to her recently to honour her superlative efforts at Chilliwack’s Cultch. “I’m loving it,” she confides. “They say I’ve put in more than 100 volunteer hours and I’ve enjoyed every one of them. It doesn’t seem like that much. “You meet the nicest people and you get to see many of the performances. I’ve seen darned near all of them.” The Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society has been celebrating a successful inaugural season to date, and that was made possible in part by the hours put in by cheerful volunteers. In the 4,400 hours logged by community members, nine of them had more than 100 hours each, with Ruth Niemann recording more than 200 hours.

Fundraising for Kenya Katie Bartel The Progress

Jennifer Thornton, founder of Geekling Designs, makes children’s shirts and baby clothes with sayings such as ‘miso cute’ modelled by her six-month-old Kaitlyn, and ‘bazinga’ worn by her three-year-old Natalie. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Boosting geek chic one shirt at a time Katie Bartel The Progress All Jennifer Thornton wanted to do was dress her daughter in a style that complemented her and her husband’s personalities: Geek chic. Anything Star Wars, Harry Potter, Nintendo, World of Warcraft would do. But after fruitless trips through kid boutique after kid boutique, and countless searches online, Thornton realized the only way her daughter would be able to take on the geek was by her own hand. Good thing she’s crafty. “I made a onesie on a lark,” she said of the first shirt she made in 2008 for her now threeyear-old daughter Natalie. The onesie featured a murloc – a World of Warcraft humanoid, with bulbous, prehistoriclooking frog and fish features – on the front. “Everyone thought it was funny,” Thornton said. What started as a lark spawned into a business. Thornton’s home-based, handmade business, Geekling Designs, is up for the Savvymom Mom Entrepreneur of the Year Award. The award was started five years ago by Savvymom, an online resource for Canadian moms, in an effort to celebrate great ideas

Place your

and innovative solutions started by Canadian moms. And with $15,000 in prizes, by way of marketing, mentoring and more, it helps to advance businesses to the next level. Geekling Designs fit the bill. After that first shirt, where Thornton researched online how to screen print using cut-out stencils and transfer paper, she started making more: onesies with coined Harry Potter phrases like Dumbledore’s Army and I solemnly swear I am up to no good, Big Bang Theory idioms like Bazinga, anime dust bunnies, and more. In total, she has approximately 50 different designs, ideas that came to her when watching TV and movies, playing video games, reading the news, and back-and-forth banter with her husband. “I’m a bit of a geek,” Thornton giggled. She started selling at swap meets, but switched to Etzys.com, an online site similar to Ebay, to better reach her target market: computer geeks. Before long, orders were coming in from the United States, Singapore, Australia, and various parts of Europe and the United Kingdom. “The first two years I wasn’t able to pay myself, I was throwing every profit I made back into the company,” said Thornton, who

puts 20 to 30 hours a week into the business. Harry Potter changed that. Two Harry Potter movies in one year caused a boom to her business. Thornton, who’s half-way through her second maternity leave, said she’s now on track to being able to work on Geekling Designs full-time before her maternity leave is up. It’s not easy being a mompreneur though. With two young daughters in tow, “little fingers tend to get in the way,” said Thornton. As well, her current workspace is the dining table, where she has to pack everything up at night before dinner. Thornton has plans to renovate her basement to better accommodate the business, and to upgrade her screen-printing equipment for improved efficiency and product production. The SavvyMom award would help make that happen. The top 10 mom entrepreneurs who receive the most online votes by Sept. 12 will be shortlisted. From there, a panel of judges will select a national winner based on business success, innovation and impact on community. To vote, visit http://momentrepreneur.savvymom.ca. Voters can vote once a day, and are also eligible for weekly prizes. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

A group of teens at St. Thomas Anglican Church “jumped at the opportunity” to help needy Kenyans. The church youth group is organizing a mission trip to Kenya next summer through Compassion International, a Christian-based child development ministry. “Our youth thought it was a great opportunity to visit with kids in schools,” said youth leader Deb Edwards. However, it’s also an expensive opportunity. The cost for each participant is approximately $5,000, which includes flight, accommodations, transportation, and funds to support the locations they visit. With five youth, between the ages of 14 and 20, and three chaperones, the total mission will cost $40,000. So far, they’ve raised $10,000. “It’s an ominous figure, but we’re optimistic,” said Edwards. Through the mission, the youth will visit one school, possibly two, and a medical and dental clinic. They will assist with construction projects and donate books and school supplies at a school for orphans, and if time permits another school for orphaned children infected with HIV. One of the chaperones, a local dentist, will also perform basic dental procedures at a dental clinic. “Apparently they are just amazed anybody would want to help them, they don’t recognize that the world even sees they exist,” said Edwards. The mission will also benefit the youth. “They’re going to be exposed to an environment that is nothing they’ve ever experienced here,” said Edwards. “The idea is to expose them to other things happening on this planet around them, and to give them an opportunity to open themselves up to offering a helping hand anywhere, whether that’s here in Chilliwack or 5,000 miles away.” The youth group has accounts set up at Chilliwack Bottle Depot and Sardis Bottle Depot under St. Thomas Youth for anyone wishing to donate their bottles to the cause. People can also donate by contacting St. Thomas Anglican Church at 604-792-8521. kbartel@theprogress.com

Royal visit thrills Chilliwack Cheering thousands present inspiring panorama of colour as monarchs visit city • May 31, 1939 Waving and smiling, they stood there, taking one last look at the fifteen thousand cheering, shouting, deliriously happy people. They looked at the four thousand frantically waving flags of the school children. They looked at the crowd and the mountains and the setting sun that threw shadows over the valley. They – a bronzed, young, eager, happy-looking King and his smiling beautiful Queen – stood on the platform and waved and seemed reluctant to go. That is the final picture of a history-making event; an event unparalleled in the short history of the visit of Their Majesties to Canada. For it was to mingle with the crowd, to meet civic officials, war veterans, nurses and other that they extended their visit to eighteen minutes, not ten, as scheduled. Nowhere, under any circumstances, have the King and Queen acted so spontaneously, shown such profound interest and consideration as they did here today. Nowhere have they gone out of their way to be so gracious, so completely charming. Fifteen thousand British hearts were thrilled to the core with the unexpected demonstration. It will be long remembered by this community. The big blue and silver streamliner bearing the royal crest on the engine chuffed in the station at 5:24 p.m. The

appearance of the King and Queen on the platform of the observation car was signalized by deafening cheers. The Queen waved, smiled. Their Majesties chatted for a moment, then walked down the steps to the station platform, where they were greeted by Mayor and Mrs. C.A. Barber, after the latter have been presented by Prime Minister MacKenzie King. Their Majesties walked up the steps to the stand followed by the Mayor and Mrs. Barber and the Prime Minister, where they stood at the salute as the bands played and the assembly sang lustily “God Save The King,” followed by a sustained and ringing acclaim from fifteen thousand proud and joyous citizens. Reeve G. Nobal Ryder and Mrs. Ryder were the first to be presented by the Mayor, they taking up a position to the left of Their Majesties, following which His Workshop presented the beautifully illuminated address from the citizens of the municipality and city, Mrs. Barber presenting Her Majesty with a gorgeous bouquet of pink roses... The first departure from the normal was in the presentation of Municipal Clerk S. Leslie Brice and City Clerk Peter J. Brown. Then came David Richardson and Mrs. Richardson whose son, Piper Richardson, won the Victoria Cross on the Somme.

If there was ever a thrill, it came in Their Majesties’ next move. They stepped down from the platform at the north end and mingled with the people. First they met A.S. Conway, who had given the King a physical drill in England. Sergeant Thomson of Chilliwack detachment, B.C. Police, one of two Canadian survivors of the marine attack on Zeebrugge, was next presented. The King chatted and joked with James Wilson, parade sergeant who led the Canadian Legion’s three hundred men to the scene earlier in the afternoon. The Queen, meanwhile, talked to members of the overseas nursing sisters and V.A.D. group. Her Majesty shook hands with E.H. Pearson, who was attempting to take a photograph of They Majesties. It was a distinctly local celebration. The vast majority of the huge throng which roared its acclaim of Their Majesties at the station were the business people and farmers of Chilliwack and district. It was possibly the most genuinely rural crowd that Their Majesties have yet had the opportunity of seeing. There were people from outside points in that crowd. A sprinkling of Americans, a number of people from the Interior and the Coast, but it was the shop owners and the men and women work the soil that dominated....

Welcome brings tears This observer viewed today’s epoch making events 100 feet above the level of the railway from a point of vantage that gave an unobstructed view of all that occurred. These eyes witnessed a panorama of events today which reached a peak of human emotions as thousands of Chilliwack’s citizens, young and old, from near and far, joined with visitors from nearby states and provinces to give Their Majesties one of the most tumultuous welcomes and send-offs since the commencement of their tour. A welcome that brought tears and misty vision to hundreds of observers, and at the end brought tears of joy to that gracious, lovely woman, Queen Elizabeth. An indication of what was to come came a full hour before the arrival of the royal party, when a rousing reception was given the pilot train.

Their Majesties’ Parting Words In bidding farewell to Their Majesties, His Worship Mayor C.A. Barber said, “I wish to thank Your Majesties on behalf of this assembly for a wonderful visit with us and especially for its gracious informality.” “Do not thank me, sir” said His Majesty. “It is for me to thank you.

Excited cheers, which kept up in a never ending crescendo, came continually from the throats of the fifteen thousand men, women and children gathered in the colourful, sun-kissed setting which greeted Their Majesties. First news of the near arrival came at 5:14 when it was announced that the train had passed Arnold, five miles away. A minute later the first faint whistle of engine number 5117 was heard and brought forth a burst of cheering which continued in wave after wave, reaching a peak when Their Majesties started down the rear platform of the coach onto the station platform; the tumult kept up all during the royal stay; reached a new height when after an eighteen-minute stop, nearly twice the time scheduled, the train eased its way gently toward the east and the last stage of the Canadian journey....

Helpful hints on etiquette • Taken from an 1891 issue of the Chilliwack Progress: In conversation avoid gesticulation and cultivate an agreeable tone of voice; do not talk too much and when you are addressed listen attentively and pleasantly. Never talk to a gentleman about his occupation unless he refers to it first. “Young people should be taught to say, ‘Yes, mama,’ accent on the last syllable. If you wish to be popular talk to people about

what interests them, not what interest you. In conversation, all provincialisms, affectations of foreign accents, mannerism and exaggerations are detestable. In conclusion, the most certain means of becoming a good conversationalist is to possess yourself of knowledge of the world and the knowledge of books and acquire a facility of imparting the knowledge. In this age of cheap literature there are widespread avenues of knowledge open to all.

This picture was taken at our original location on Wellington after the snow storm in 1935. The store name Overwaitea was derived from the companies founder Robert C Kidd’s practice of putting an extra 2 ounces of tea into each pound of tea sold. Thus the name Over-Wait-tea. We were listed as a business in Chilliwack in 1924 and have been very involved in the community ever since. We moved to the Mill street location (currently Logan’s Hardware) in 1963. In 1971 we moved to the mall where Safeway currently is, there we became Prairee Market Foods. Later our store became Your Mark It Foods and eventually Save On Foods. In 1988 we moved to our current location. In 2006 we converted our stores merchandising concept and became PriceSmart foods although our name has changed throughout the years.

Victoria Day at Harrison • May 28, 1902 The general observance of Victoria Day is good evidence of the great affection entertained by British subjects of the world over for the late Queen Victoria. The present generation has so long been accustomed to look forward to the 24th of May as the greatest holiday of the year that it is sure to be perpetuated. The weather had been somewhat threatening all week, but Saturday was an ideal day for an outing, and was taken advantage of by an exceedingly large number of people of Chilliwack. The baseball teams who were billed to play New Westminster at the Springs chartered the steamer Defender to carry an excursion. The boat left the landing at 7:45 a.m. and had over 150 passengers all told when she reached her destination. The crew of the Defender was very courteous and the trip was a most pleasant affair. Messrs. Trethewey and Jackson of Harrison Station were along and spared no pains to make everything agreeable. The route is thoroughly known by

the crew and there was not even a jar during the whole trip. The Defender will, no doubt, carry Chilliwackers on many an excursion in the future. The C.P.R. boat, the Beaver, also carried a big load from the Chilliwack landing, something over 160 taking passage by this boat. She engaged our band boys, who discoursed sweet music to and from the Springs. The Beaver landed her load and returned to meet the big train load from Vancouver and New Westminster. About 300 of these left the train at Harrison Station and came up by the Beaver. The Beaver had a busy day of it, handling in all nearly 1,000 people. All were well-pleased.

There was an immense crowd at the Springs. The chief attraction for many was the baseball game which was rather one-sided to be very interesting. Our Chilliwack boys were up against it hard. They could not find the balls pitched by the New Westminster twirler. Our boys will never play a good game without practice. It should not be necessary to say this, but we think we are correct when we say that our team never played in the positions they were placed in on Saturday. If Chilliwack will go to work and practice at least twice a week they will then be able to play a good strong game. We have good material if it is well trained.

Chilliwack on the railroad map Electric line to Vancouver opened this week • October 5, 1910 Monday the 3rd of October will rank as the greatest day in the history of Chilliwack, marking as it does the commencement of rail communication with the outside world, by the inauguration of the British Columbia Electric Railway service. For the occasion the company had invited a large party representative of the cities of New Westminster and Vancouver and the rural municipalities between Chilliwack and the Coast, and headed by Lieut.-Governor Paterson and Premier McBride with Hon. Price Ellison, minster of lands. Mr. Ralph Smith, M.P. of Nanaimo also was in the list of guests and of course the local representatives for the federal and provincial houses, Mr. J.D. Taylor, M.P., and Mr. S.A. Cawley, M.P.P., were in attendance, together with Mr. Thos. Gifford, M.P.P, for New Wesminster and Mr. F. J. MacKenzie, M.P.P for Delta. Mayor Lee and the aldermen of New Westminster, acting

Mayor Ramsay and the aldermen of Vancouver; President Lusby of the New Westminster Board of Trade and VicePresident McLennan, of the Vancouver board were with the party together with the publicity commissioners for the two cities. The special excursion train left New Westminster at 10 o’clock in the morning, the Vancouver guests having come by regular tram via the Eburne line. This special train consisted of three gaily decorated coaches; two passenger and one baggage. Stops were made at Cloverdale where the company’s sub-station was inspected, and at Milner, the Langley Prairie station, Mt. Lehman, Clayburn, Abbotsford and other points. Good time was made along that portion of the road, the track being down for considerable time and well ballasted. From a short distance east of Abbotsfored the road was not so good owing to the heavy rains of the past week and slower time was made, while at Sumas Mountain it was found that a pole had fallen

across the track owing to the storm the night before, thus destroying the electric communication for the last stage, so that the train was pulled in by one of the company’s steam engines, arriving shortly before 3 p.m. At Sardis a stop was made to enable the councils of the city and township of Chilliwack to come aboard and experience the pleasure and honor of being the first passengers to enter the city on the new line. All along the line as the train passed the residents turned to cheer and welcome it. Chilliwack turned out en masse and with a brass band, handkerchief waving and steam whistles shrieking showed their appreciation of being able at last to get out of the woods. Little time was lost in detraining and within a few minutes Premier McBride stood bareheaded with sledge hammer and spike and well and truly drove to the head the last spike that connected the Garden City of Chilliwack to the commercial cities of New Westminster and Vancouver.

Upon completion of this task Mayor Munro, on behalf of the councils of Chilliwack and the Board of Trade of the City of Chilliwack, presented General Manager R.H. Sperling with an address of appreciation and welcome, which was suitably replied to by that gentleman and the invited guests repaired to the hall of St. Thomas Church and partook of a bountiful spread tastefully set out by host McLennan of the Empress Hotel.

The next toast, proposed by Mr. Sperling, was that of the Lieut.Governor of the Province of

British Columbia. In introducing this toast, the chairman expressed his regret of the absence of Director Buntzen who was unable to be present owing to illness. It was due in a large measure to Mr. Buntzen and Mr. Horn-Payne that the Chilliwack line have been built. The company had confidence in undertaking and the future of the province, else they should not have spent the sum of $20,000,000 on it. He hinted at the plans of the Continued: RAIL/ p29

Snow and ice storm paralyze Chilliwack • January 24, 1935 Chilliwack is isolated today, a city unto itself. One of the worst “silver thaws” in the history of the Fraser Valley struck the district Monday and by eight o’clock that evening light, power, telephone, telegraph and interurban tram connections had been completely disrupted. Heavy rains, which fell during the day, turned to ice, and all through Monday night and the early hours of Tuesday morning the tremendous weight of ice which had accumulated brought down wires and poles in a mass of twisted, crystal-coated wreckage which strewed the city from end to end. Even an approximate estimate of the damage done is out of the question. Poles and wires are down on practically every street in the city and a vast amount of clearing up will be necessary before it would be safe to turn on power again, once the main service lines of the B.C. Electric are restored. The severe weather of Thursday and Friday, when

official temperature was given at zero and many thermometers registered as low as five below, was followed by a veritable blizzard which fell Sunday and through the night.

A total of 29 inches of snow fell by Monday morning and the rain set in. The freezing which followed found everything loaded with wet, heavy snow, and the tremendous

damaged which followed was all by inevitable. Buildings throughout the city suffered severely. The tremendous load of snow which the roofs were carrying

has been taking steady toll since Monday. The Empress Garage, better known as Lillie’s Garage, came down Monday morning, piling roof and snow on nearly twenty cars stored there. Throughout Monday snow shovel brigades fought a desperate battle on many roofs of the city, the Empress Hotel, Brett’s Limited and the Star Garage all being threatened before morning was over. Monday afternoon the lean-to at the Broder Canning Company’s plant went in, and one of the men at work on the roof at the time sustained leg injuries. During the night the auction rooms formerly occupied by Hugh Smith on Young Roady fell prey to the snow load, and caved in completely. Tuesday morning the large auction barn formally occupied by Jack Thompson came down with a crash which could be heard all over the city. Damage done in the country is unknown at the time of going to press. Unconfirmed reports state the roof at

For over

Atchelitz Community Hall came down Tuesday, and a number of barns throughout the district are reported down. These cannot be verified, however. No mail has been received in Chilliwack since Sunday. Communication even with Sardis is impossible, though a number of hardy souls have been walking the tracks to that point. Four B.C. Electric trains are stuck at Sardis, helpless from lack of power. A snow plow was brought over Canadian National lines Tuesday morning, and the weigh freight from Vancouver to Hope followed the same day, bringing in some badly needed supplies from Vancouver. All other means of contact with the outside world have been shut off since Monday night, however. B.C. Electric officials in Chilliwack are frank in stating that they have no idea when power and light service can be restored to the stricken district....

All-out search for airliner as clear weather prevails •December, 1956 RCAF Search and Rescue are using every available airplane in an effort to locate the missing TCA North Star. For the first day since the airliner was reported missing, almost perfect weather conditions prevail in the Cheam and Silvertip mountain areas. As the search entered its tenth day, and RCAF spokesman commented: “If we are going to find the plane at all, this is the day.” About eight Chilliwack Flying Club planes are also engaged in the search. Ground parties, too, are taking advantage of the favorable weather. Art Butler, game warden, has been leading a three-man search party for the past five days, and many other parties have been organized by RCMP operating out of Hope and Chilliwack. Mr. Butler’s party reached the base of Mt. William Knight and also searched some of the country around Jones Lake.

Weather also prevented ground and air searchers from checking the story of a boy who reported seeing tail sections on Sumas Mountain.

ROTARY CLUB OF CHILLIWACK

One of hockey’s all-time greats left here this morning, taking a little piece of Chilliwack with him and vowing never to forget the Fraser Valley city. Maurice “Rocket” Richard, idol of the Montreal Forum, 18-year-veteran of the mighty Canadiens and sometime ambassador at large for the NHL hockey club, was enchanted with Chilliwack. “I will never forget it,” said the man of many hockey records last night, after a whirlwind tour that took in the Empress Hotel banquet room,

the Coliseum, the Riding Club lounge and a visit in a private home. This was a large statement coming from the man who has visited half the cities, villages and hamlets in the country. However, Richard’s forehead had an earnest wrinkle and his voice a ring of conviction when he said it. Should he be in danger of forgetting Chilliwack, he will be able to draw on his beautiful natural wool sweater, knitted for him by Mrs. Francis Kelly of the Soowallie Reserve and presented with the compliments of the Chilliwack

If this should fail, he will have a special scrap book of press clippings and pictures of his visit, complied by CDHA secretary Al Frey from The Progress files. On his visit, Richard has a succulent steak dinner with civic and hockey dignitaries; refereed a hockey game; signed autographs and shook hands; chatted with minor hockey coaches and managers; signed the city’s guest book, and did a spot of visiting....

Monday: Queen Elizabeth sends message of sympathy “to all relatives of those who lost their lives” in the crash of the TCA North Star.

company with regard to the service and stated that chair cars in addition to the regular passenger cars would be used on the road in time. The Chilliwack line was but a beginning of the work the company would undertake in the Fraser Valley. After the Lieut.-Governor had been toasted that gentleman in returning thanks, referred to the good work accomplished by the B.C.E.R. He thought they had made no mistake in building through the Fraser Valley to Chilliwack. Transportation was one of the greatest needs of the province and the solving of it was one step towards knitting closer together the districts of the province. F.R. Glover proposed the toast to the province of British Columbia, and in response Premier McBride acknowledged the great compliment paid him by the B.C.E.R. by asking him to drive the last spike in the Chilliwack line. In looking into the future he could see it augured well for

the success of the Fraser Valley line. He spoke briefly of the transportation problems of the valley. A great development had already taken place and with the aid of electric power a very great deal more could be expected. T.J. Trapp in proposing the toast of the Dominion of Canada, coupled with it the names of Ralph Smith, M.P. of Nanaimo and J.D. Taylor of New Westminster. Both gentlemen replied in brief stirring addresses, loud in the praises of the of the B.C.E.R. and their firm faith of the future of the province. L.B. Lushby, president of the New Westminster Board of Trade, proposed the toast of the three cities, Chilliwack, New Westminster and Vancouver. This was responded to by Mayor Lee of New Westminster, acting Mayor Ramsay of Vancouver and Mayor Munro of Chilliwack. All three thanked the B.C.E.R. officials for the honor extended to them and complimented the company and the despatch with which the road had been built and equipped. Mayor Munro stated the valley had been

waiting 20 years for this event and building hopes for better transportation facilities. They were often disappointed, but at last the hopes of the residents had been realized.... Tuesday morning the regular service was commenced from both ends. Three trains daily will be run. A milk train will leave Chilliwack at 7 o’clock in the morning and make stopes at all the sidings and way stations along the way. The morning passenger trains will leave both new Westminster and Chilliwack at 8 o’clock, arriving at the terminals at 11 a.m. The evening passenger trains will leave New Westminster and Chilliwack at 5 in the afternoon, arriving at the terminals at 8. This will give a three hour through service, and the fare charged will be $1.85 single and $3.00 return. Accordingly, as the needs require, the service will be increased and the objects of the company will be to give different municipalities through which the line passes as good a service as can possibly be given.

When the 1200 riders in the RBG Kelowna Gran Fondo rolled through Vernon last Saturday, they were greeted by 30 Army Cadets enrolled in the three-week Basic Sports and Fitness course at Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre (VACSTC). Among them was Cadet Toben Kuhr of Chilliwack, B.C. who spent the morning pouring water and energy drinks for the riders. Cadet Hurtado-Gomez is a member of 1725 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps, Chilliwack, B.C. Long before the riders even left Kelowna, the cadets were on Dieppe Square helping to set up the tents and traffic cones, slice oranges and bananas, set out energy foods and treats and generally help the organizers prepare for the arrival of the riders. “Part of their training prepares them to plan, organize and participate

The Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation, BC/Yukon Region launched BC’s first mammography and breast health education centre on wheels a branded bus that will visit more than 50 BC communities in less than five months. On Saturday, July 30 the Pink Tour Bus will

be at the Chilliwack Farmers’ Market, 10015 Young Road North, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Tour staf f guide visitors through the interactive displays and encourage women between 40 and 79 to book a free mammogram in their communities. For the first time, women who register on the bus

MYERT CORPS INC.

will receive calls back from the Screening Mammography Program (SMP) of BC to arrange an appointment for their mammogram. Only 51 per cent of eligible women in BC have a regular mammogram. According to the World Health Organization, if 70 per cent of eligible women went for regular mammography, the number of deaths from breast cancer would be reduced by up to one third. The practice of breast health is important to all women. The Pink Tour bus team is as ethnically diverse as the communities they will be visiting throughout BC. All visitors are welcome to tour the bus and read more about breast health in English, Punjabi and Chinese. Visitors to the bus may sign its exterior as a commitment to adopting breast health practices and booking their free mammogram. For more information go to www.thepinktour.com.

Your legacy: a better future for everyone touched by cancer

GO IN PEACE Drawing up wills, as well as entailing a sense of relief and accomplishing a duty for testators, also ensures that their last wishes will be respected and avoids any quarrelling or questioning as far as the beneficiaries are concerned. As well as having to live through bereavement, the deceased’s next of kin will have numerous financial and legal questions to settle. A misunderstanding regarding the estate caused by the absence of a will should, therefore, be avoided at all costs.

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Wrestler’s career gets big boost in Brazil Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Jenna McLatchy has a troll doll. She shares custody of it with several of her Canadian junior wrestling teammates. It’s name is Troll. They weren’t very creative. Troll has travelled to lots of places and seen lots of things. Wherever McLatchy and her wrestling cohorts go, Troll is along for the ride — hanging out in airport food courts, nabbing the window seat on a flight to Austria or sitting ringside for another McLatchy win. “He’s toured most of Europe. He’s been to southeast Asia and he’s going to Scotland,” she laughed. “He gets into a lot of pictures and he gets some pretty funny looks when we put him on conveyer belts and stuff.” Troll’s latest stop was Brazil, where he

joined McLatchy at the Junior Pan American Championships in Sao Paolo. Troll shared in McLatchy’s triumph as she rolled to victory in the 67 kilogram weight class. The Chilliwack secondar y school grad bombed Brazil’s Danielle Brandao in the opening match, downing her in two one-sided rounds. “I got one point in the first round (two minutes), and six in the second round,” she said with a smile. “That was different, because Latin American girls are vicious. They like to slap heads, and we actually warmed up having people slap our heads so it wouldn’t catch us off guard.” McLatchy faced a less vicious Demi Strub in the final, dominating the American wrestler for another two-round win. “I got five points in the first round and six

in the second,” she said proudly. “Neither of them scored a single point on me and I was pulling out moves I didn’t even know I had.” With the adrenaline still pumping, McLatchy rarely remembers details right after a match. Not until she analyzes video does she recall certain moments. Watching video from Sao Paulo was enlightening. “It’s actually a little boring sometimes, especially the first round against the Brazillian where there was just one point scored,” she said. “When you’re in the ring time feels different. If you’re down, two minutes flies by in two seconds. If you’re up, it seems to last forever.” The 19-year-old’s success is astounding considering how little time she has actually spent in the sport.

I ended up going my first two years without losing a match.” In Grade 11 she placed third at nationals. By Grade 12 she was good enough to make it onto a Canada Summer Games team. By the time she graduated from CSS, Simon Fraser University was offering her an athletic scholarship. “It was the Canada Games where I really started thinking I could go places with

wrestling,” McLatchy said. “As part of that, a group of B.C. girls went Austria and Germany for training. I was good enough to get sent there in the first place and I was good enough to keep up with those other girls. That was the turning point.” Winning the Pan Am tournament may be another of those turning-point moments — not only can McLatchy compete against the best in Canada. Now she’s starting to take

Many of those she faces at the upper levels have been at it for years. Not until she arrived at CSS in Grade 10 did McLatchy give wrestling a try, choosing it mostly because it fit well with her busy schedule. “In middle school I played soccer and volleyball and field hockey. I played them all, but when I got to high school I couldn’t do that anymore,” she said. “I’m not the type of person who wants to give less than my full effort to something.” McLatchy was walking down the hall at CSS one day when she saw the solution, a display case for wrestling. On a whim she wandered in, changing her life forever. “I was a little embarrassed at first and I didn’t tell anyone, even my Dad, where I was after school,” she admitted. “But then I started going to different tournaments and winning.

down the best in the world. “This was my last year and that was my last tournament at the junior level,” she cautioned. “Now I’m up with the big kids. In total, I’ve been doing this five years, where some of them have been doing it a lot longer. I need a lot more experience to beat them consistently.” The learning curve at the senior level will indeed be steep. “The people who are winning in my weight class are in their late 20’s and early 30’s,” McLatchy noted. “So, I’m going to be an underdog for a few years. I’m hoping, fingers crossed, that a few of them are going to retire after the next Olympics (London, 2012), and I’ll be able to try for a spot at the 2016 Olympics (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil).” The challenge in the immediate future will be keeping the sport fun while the intensity gears up to seriousbusiness proportions. It helps being flown to sunny vacation destinations like Brazil. “During school, sometimes it feels like business, and it gets a little tiring and stressful around the end of the season,” McLatchy said. “You’re missing lots of school right around exam time. But our trips are so awesome and wrestling is still really, really fun for me.” McLatchy is currently enjoying a brief rest before throwing herself back into training. “I have a small break,” she said. “But my mom made me weed all day to day.” Weeding.

Comeback kids bounce Broncos in preseason win

The Chilliwack Huskers emerged victorious from their preseason opener on Saturday, edging the Kamloops Broncos 19-14 in Prince George. The Huskers ral-

lied from a 14-0 deficit to get the win, led by quarterback Adann Hendrickson. The starting pivot scampered for one of the Chilliwack majors. Veteran tailback Ben Skerritt added another with Ty McConnell also finding the endzone. One of the TDs was converted. More than 500 fans

watched the game, a showcase event for the B.C. Football Conference. Six Huskers, including defensive back Nick Wingfield, were playing back in their hometown. “It feels great (to get the win) especially since we’ve got a whole new system on offence and defence that everybody

is learning,” he said. “We executed pretty well today. A win like this shows that we’re on the right track and if we keep working hard it looks like good things will come our way.” Chilliwack hosts the Westshore (Victoria) Rebels in the season opener, Sunday at Exhibition Stadium. Kickoff is 2 p.m.

✞ Obituaries BEZANSON Charles “Chuck” Edward

FREEBORN Myrna Lucille

Chuck passed away peacefully on Wednesday July 20, 2011, at the age of 84 years. He was born on October 4, 1926, in South Burnaby to parents Margaret and Frederick Bezanson. He is survived by Dorothy his loving wife of 61 years, as well as his children Linda (Brian) Bakuska, Carol Allemeersch, and his four grandson’s Richard, Alan, Steven, and Kevin. Chuck was sadly predeceased by his son Michael, his sister Rose, his brother Alfred, and his parent’s. Chuck worked in the lumber mill industry as a sawyer for 50 years, until he retired in 1991. When he wasn’t working, he would find time for all kinds of fix it projects, back yard mechanics, wood crafts, from building our first home in Burnaby, building our first ski-boat, and to many other projects over the years. He loved the outdoors, and often would go for hikes in the backwoods picking berries, or pan the local rivers and streams for gold. He enjoyed taking his family camping and boating, fishing and water sports.

BEAT THE HEAT! Install Central Air Conditioning / Heat Pump M ost of us have heard the term heat pump and savings in the same phrase. You probably wonder what a heat pump is and how it can save money. Here is a brief explanation. A heat pump is an air conditioner that works year round. In the summer, a heat pump uses the process of refrigeration to remove heat from your house. If you can imagine, there is a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius in your house and 30 degrees outside, it is uncomfortable, you turn on the air conditioner and you feel cool air from your registers. This process is moving heat from the inside of your house and transferring it to the outside where it is blown away. Before too long, your house is cool and comfortable. This is the same process as your refrigerator uses in your home. When your fridge gets too warm inside, the fridge turns on and brings the temperature in the fridge down to a safe level for your food to last. What a great process! The heat from your fridge is actually being transferred to the room. If you feel the air rising off the back of the fridge, when it is running, it is warm, this is the heat removed from the inside of the fridge being moved to the room. The process for a heat pump is the same as your fridge. You have the heat from the outside being transferred to the inside of the house. How can this be? Refer to your freezer. Your freezer works again on

the same process as your fridge except in more extreme conditions. Your fridge keeps food cool, your freezer freezes food. When your fridge is cold, your freezer is colder. The heat difference just means there is heat there (in your fridge) and less in your freezer. So if we can harness the power of refrigeration to move heat from the cold outside in the winter and move it into the house, you have just created a fridge that becomes a freezer and the heat difference is transferred in to the house. A heat pump moves heat at a minimum of 200 per cent efficiency in the Lower Mainland so for every dollar you would spend on heating on electricity, you get at least $2 of heat. The average in our climate is $2.40 of heat per dollar spent. You are spending the money transferring heat instead of burning your money creating it! In the Lower Mainland, we have a mild enough climate that we can use heat pumps to heat our houses year round at a reasonable cost and save money. This includes savings over burning natural gas to heat our homes. There are incentives available now to reduce your energy usage in your house, these can range up to $4190 back on your retrofit to a high efficiency furnace and heat pump. Call the local heat pump specialists to find out more and find out how much your retrofit will cost. You will be warm in the winter and cool in the summer and save money.
