Medical grow hides cache of guns, drugs and cash: RCMP Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Continued: MEDICAL/ p5

Canada Post workers picket outside the downtown office at Yale Road and Nowell Street on Tuesday morning.

Chilliwack postal workers locked out Katie Bartel The Progress A nationwide lockout imposed

by Canada Post “is holding Canadian citizens hostage,” says locked-out Chilliwack letter carriers.

On Wednesday morning, approximately 15 Chilliwack letter carriers stood outside the post office on Yale Road wearing sandwich boards with messages that read Locked out! and We want to deliver your mail, but Canada Post won’t let us.

“This isn’t a strike, it’s a lockout,” said Rick Hansen, vice president of the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) local

741, as vehicles drove by sounding horns in support.

“We want to work, but they won’t let us.”

One day after Canada Post had reduced its mail service delivery to three days a week in urban areas, including Chilliwack, the Crown Corporation outright suspended operations in urban areas across the country. It cited increasing costs and a decline in volume resulting from the union’s one-day rotating strikes as cause for the action.

Canada Post said the corporation has lost more than $100 million in revenue since the rotating strikes began June 3.

“A lockout is the best way to

bring a timely resolution to this impasse and force the union to seriously consider proposals that address the declining mail volumes and the $3.2 billion pension deficit,” Canada Post said in a statement taped to the post office doors.

“If we allow the uncertainty created by the rotating strikes to continue, our ability to remain financially self-sufficient and not become a burden on Canadian taxpayers will be in jeopardy.”

The rotating strikes was the union’s way of showing displeasure with the “lack of negotiations,” said Hansen.

“With the rotating strikes, mail was delayed one day, and

then it was back out on the road ... most people probably didn’t even notice,” said Hansen. “But right now, no mail is moving, it’s not moving in the plants, it’s not being trucked anywhere, everything has stopped.”

Sardis residents theoretically shouldn’t be affected by the lockout as its carriers are Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers and are under a different contract. But because mail isn’t being transported in, Hansen said their work would quickly dry up.

Outgoing mail slots and street side letter boxes have been taped up.

A medical marijuana operation busted in Chilliwack was allegedly found to be growing hundreds more plants than its federal licences allowed.

A multiple police agency raid June 3 on a Cultus Lake Road property yielded almost 450 pot plants, according to RCMP. But the medical marijuana licences held by the residents were for a maximum of 74 plants.

Seized from the property, which was known to police, were 20,000 ecstasy pills, an ounce of cocaine and some methamphetamine.

Five Chilliwack residents were arrested for possession for the purposes of trafficking, including a male, 51, female, 45, male, 24, and another male, 18.

“Charges are pending for four of the five people arrested,” said RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth.

The search warrant was executed by 24 officers from Chilliwack RCMP Crime Reduction unit, Abbotsford Police and the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team.

Police say the street value for the ecstasy was more than $60,400. The 84 pounds of marijuana had a street value of about $126,000, while the cocaine would sell for an estimated $500. Cash, a bulletproof vest, and two firearms were also seized.

Mayor Sharon Gaetz said that mayors across the Lower Mainland have been concerned for a long time about medical grows operated by “unscrupulous” individuals producing “much more” marijuana than the licences allow, and then selling the excess on the streets.

Chilliwack mayor myth-busting on Fraser flood tour Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Some members of city council toured the flooded zones of Chilliwack on Tuesday to get an up-close look at the 2011 freshet impacts.

“We were invited by some of the residents to come along and see what the river was doing,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz.

A total of 17 properties outside the city diking infrastructure are facing seepage and flooding issues.

A group of impacted citizens wanted to offer their historical

knowledge of river conditions, as well as showing the mayor the effects of erosion and flooding on a nearby hazelnut farm.

The mayor, accompanied by two city councillors, surveyed inundated farmlands, and sandbagged homes, and also went out in a jet boat on the Fraser River to look at the ongoing erosion problem on the river banks near Carey Point.

“We clearly have an issue to deal with, and we’re going to need some expert help in solving this,” said the mayor.

The protective berm near the site was eaten away by ongoing erosion due to shifting river currents.

There is no level of government with a mandate to maintain it.

A scour hole resulted from the constant erosion at the base of the river bank and the “river is rushing in” at that point, she said.

At least two farm families say they’ve lost their crops and livelihoods.

“The city’s mandate is the safety of its residents. We’re monitoring the river, making sure our facts are correct, in explaining why there was all this seepage when it’s not even a high river year,” said Gaetz.

City officials have reiterated in the press and at the town hall meet-

ing last week that property owners, living behind the orphaned “berm” built by the province in 1997, are responsible for any flood impacts themselves. But in spite of this, the city nonetheless undertook an emergency program of flood work, sandbagging and road work to mitigate some of the effects.

City officials will be looking to the province for funding assistance to help bail out flooded residents, from the Provincial Emergency Program or other sources.

“We have MLAs that represent the area,” Gaetz said. “We are hoping they will be able to come forward and help the citizens.”

ICBC could help curb home break-ins, says Chilliwack critic Jeff Nagel

Gaetz said she had to clear up some confusion about what happens when a community declares a state of emergency during a disaster.

“There is a real misunderstanding that once a state of emergency is declared that the money will start flowing from the province. It’s not that simple.

“The declaration gives the city the right to enter properties, to forcibly evacuate citizens and take control of properties in order to mitigate effects. But it doesn’t guarantee more funding. There is a threshold that has to be met before that even kicks in.”

ICBC officials say they’ll look at loosening the requirement to keep auto insurance papers in the vehicle – a rule some owners say leaves them vulnerable to home burglars.

Thieves sometimes break into vehicles, get the address of the owner from the insurance papers, and then go loot the home. Some even use a garage door opener from the car to get inside.

Chilliwack university instructor Ken Pugh has been pressing ICBC to act.

He says crooks going for the car-home break-in combo target vehicles likely to be parked for hours at places like movie theatres, trail heads and churches.

“Sometimes they even slash the tires so the owners can’t get home quickly,” he said. “They’ve got it down to an art.”

That threat could be eliminated, Pugh said, if ICBC let owners keep their original car insurance papers at home and use a photocopy in the vehicle with the address blacked out if they’re stopped by police.

So far, ICBC officials maintain originals must stay with the vehicle and it would take provincial legislation to change that rule.

“We’re taking a look at what can be done to address these concerns,” ICBC spokesperson Kathy Taylor said. “Sometimes a quick fix to a process is possible, but we want to exercise due

diligence to make sure we wouldn’t be creating any larger issues.”

Meanwhile, ICBC recommends storing the originals in a hidden panel or secure storage box in the vehicle or else taking them with you when you’re away from your car.

But carrying a sheaf of insurance documents is impractical, said Pugh.

“I’d need a man-purse,” he said. “A wallet’s not big enough.”

And he doubts any hiding place inside a vehicle would be thief-proof.

He argues B.C. could simply follow the lead of Saskatchewan, which provides a wallet-sized card for proof of insurance and allows drivers to keep the original

documents at home.

“ICBC has been very slow to react to this,” he said, adding he has neighbours who are afraid to leave their homes after a flurry of break-ins.

The auto insurer doesn’t seem to care if criminals target homes, he said, but added the provincial government should if it’s serious about public safety and protecting families.

“This is an outdated procedure that is no longer in the interests of public safety.”

Pugh wants Public Safety Minister Shirley Bond to intervene and is also asking B.C.’s Information and Privacy Commissioner to investigate and potentially order ICBC to change its policy.

The RCMP publicly cautioned motorists this spring against leaving identifying documents such as insurance in vehicles, most recently after a flurry of thefts from the homes of church-goers in Abbotsford.

RCMP E Division spokesperson Sgt. Rob Vermeulen said it’s likely rare that burglars target homes using insurance paperwork, but added it’s wise to take precautions.

“Our advice would not be to leave the documents in the vehicle,” he said. “Carry them with you.”

A thief stopped by police in a stolen vehicle would also be unable to produce documents and pass himself off as a legitimate operator, he added.

VICTORIA – Thousands of ballots for B.C.’s harmonized sales tax referendum were being stored in post offices after Canada Post locked out its urban employees across the country Wednesday.

Elections BC has prepared a contingency plan for post office disruptions, as officials try to get more than three million ballots delivered to homes across the province by June 24.

Federal Labour Minister Lisa Raitt told CTV Wednesday that since Canada Post moved from rotating strikes to a complete shutdown, the government will consider introducing back-to-work legislation. The strikes have cost Canada Post an estimated $1 million in lost revenue, and before the lockout management reduced urban mail delivery to three days a week.

Craig James, B.C.’s acting chief electoral officer at Elections BC, said Wednesday that no changes to the referendum timetable were being contemplated “at this time.” If the post office dispute drags into next week, Elections BC has the option to push back the deadline for returning completed ballots beyond the current date of July 22.

Elections BC officials said they will adjust their schedule if necessary

to give voters the same amount of time to consider how they will vote.

Ballot packages went in the mail on Monday to regions outside Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. They were scheduled to go out to those areas starting June 20.

Voters who receive their ballots can return them to one of 60 Service B.C. (formerly government agent) offices around the province instead of putting them in the mail.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon urged people to vote “no” to the referendum question, which asks whether voters want to “extinguish” the HST and go back to the 12-percent federal and provincial sales tax.

Former premier and Fight HST organizer Bill Vander Zalm is running an advertising campaign urging people to vote yes, reminding people of the additional seven per cent tax extended to restaurant meals and a long list of services.

Faced with a strong public backlash against the HST, the B.C. and federal governments have committed to lower the rate to 11 per cent in 2012, and to 10 per cent in 2014.

Rebates of $175 for each child under 18 and each senior with an annual income less than $40,000 have been promised to cover extra costs until the rate can be lowered.

“My second daughter was born in 1997 and at three weeks of age had dropped below her birth weight, for what seemed like no reason,” says Mary-Ann Clift. “My mother insisted that we take her to the doctor and have her tested for CF. Her instincts were correct.

My beautiful, blonde Ana haired, MACEDO blue eyed baby had cystic fibrosis. It was a shocking moment; staring at my perfectly formed baby and knowing that a tiny defect inside the cells in her body would change the course of her life.

Shortly after she was diagnosed, I woke up one morning to the sound of a basketball being bounced against the side of the house.

Then I realized that it was the sound of my husband’s hands clapping on my baby’s chest in the room below me. I still could hardly believe it. That sound of clapping became a comfort sound in our home. It was the one physical thing we could do to fight an invisible, progressive disease.”

Mary-Ann and her family have lived with the reality of cystic fibrosis for the last 14 years although it had an impact on her life much earlier than that. She

moved to Chilliwack with her family in 1968 after her father purchased Hipwell Drugs. “He owned it for about five years and then went to work as a pharmacist at Zellers before opening up Nelmes Pharmacy in 1977,” she explained.

As a youngster, she was fascinated by a picture in the family home of a baby boy sitting on a coloured rocking horse under the Christmas tree. It was a picture of her brother who had lived and passed away at eleven months, the year before she was born.

“It made my mother sad when I asked about him so I didn’t get many answers about Andrew.

The doctor had told my parents later that he had passed away from something with a fibrocystic nature,” she said.

It wasn’t until later that it was determined that cystic fibrosis had claimed his life. “I only knew that those words, cystic fibrosis seemed a little scary to me and that they made my mother sad.”

She grew up with two brothers; older brother Brad and younger brother Jeff. She loved sports and was especially passionate about volleyball. I played up until two years ago,” she said with a smile.

As she approached graduation, Mary-Ann thought about being a PE teacher but that didn’t happen. She loved to write and thought about being a writer but never pursued it. “I had spent many hours as a

kid working in my dad’s drugstore and loved the atmosphere and working with the public but I didn’t think of myself as being a pharmacist,” she said honestly. When she was 24, that all changed, though. “I had worked for a few years as a pharmacy technician, having been trained by an exceptionally good technician,” she said. MaryAnn became quite good at it herself and when she left Chilliwack, she always seemed to find a job as a pharmacy technician. Then, one day, the role of a pharmacist seemed more appealing than her job as a technician and she returned to school and earned her Bachelor of Science in Pharmaceuticals. MaryAnn was now a pharmacist.

She married Doug and the couple had a beautiful daughter named Alexis. Two years later, they were blessed with Lauren. Three weeks after her birth, their lives changed forever. She was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis.

“We were at Children’s Hospital within days, learning how to care for a baby with fibrosis. Our fridge was covered with medication charts and I remember counting that our baby needed seventeen doses of medications throughout the day and three, daily sessions of postural drainage therapy to keep her lungs clear. We would tip her at different angles and positions and clap her chest or back for three minutes in each position.

It is life changing to be told that your child has a progressive, fatal disease for which there is no cure,” she explained methodically. With cystic fibrosis the mucus that is produced in the lungs is thick and sticky. It clogs the airways and, if not cleared, can lead to recurrent lung infections and lung damage.

The pancreas is also compromised and for those affected by the disease; pancreatic enzyme supplements are usually required to aid digestion.

“Lauren takes 25 pills a day just to be able to digest her food. At times, her condition requires that she takes up to 40 pills a day,” she said. As a result of the affect on the pancreas, CF-related diabetes requiring insulin injections can also be a complication.

“Thankfully, Lauren doesn’t have that. That would be terrible. She loves food too much,” she laughed.

Physical activity plays a large part in keeping Lauren healthy since it aids in clearing mucus from the lungs. She’s quite the soccer player and this has helped her maintain lung function. Those affected

by CF may also sweat more than others and are at higher risk of dehydration. Mary-Ann explained that when it’s really hot outside and with prolonged exertion you can actually see salt crystals forming on Lauren’s skin.

“CF is a relatively invisible disease. You can’t really see that there’s anything wrong physically but there’s so much happening behind the scenes. Lauren is still healthy at 14. She’s an athlete, a musician, an artist, socially vibrant and thrilled with life.

What a shame to see this life and other young lives cut short by this disease,” she said. That’s where research comes in but there has to be money available to fund the research. So, MaryAnn decided to take part in the annual Gear Up 4 CF Banff to Vancouver event. It’s 1,200 kilometres of determination and hope in finding a cure for cystic fibrosis. “We start off on June 18 in Banff and arrive in Chilliwack Continued: ANA/ p12

Fishing licence not needed for derby Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s known unofficially as the Cultus Pikeminnow Derby and last year more than 1,000 people showed up to vie for the specially tagged fish.

It always coincides with B.C. Family Fishing weekend, and has the extra benefit of removing the predatorial Northern Pikeminnow species, believed to be preying on the endangered Cultus Lake sockeye.

The annual Greg Clark Memorial Family Fishing Derby is set for Saturday, June 18, at Cultus Lake and as usual, a fishing licence is not required.

Several cash prizes are on offer, and they’ll be drawn and awarded after the fish are weighed in.

Organizers with the Fraser Valley Salmon

Tagged pikeminnow. PROGRESS FILE

Society said there were about 1,300 participants last year who caught a total of 897 pikeminnows. That’s up by almost 1,000, compared to almost 300 anglers who showed up the first year and caught about 300 fish.

Last year they paid out almost $3000 in cash prizes in 17 fish categories.

Derby starts at daybreak and wraps up at 2 p.m. Weigh-in is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The 100 specially tagged fish are worth $100 each, and all other tagged fish are $25 each. A toonie is on offer for each pikeminnow caught.

Tickets for the Greg Clark Memorial Family Fishing Derby on June 18, are $5/$2 at Chilliwack Dart and Tackle, Fred’s Custom Tackle, Rosedale Mini Mart and Kent Outdoors. For more information call 604799-3466.

Medical grow ops cause for concern “There simply has not been the kind of scrutiny by Health Canada we need with this,” she said. “The system they designed is not working.”

Coun. Chuck Stam agreed, adding that the city was notified by RCMP and Fire Department reps that increasingly medical grow-ops would be found to be surpassing their licensed limits.

“We had been warned that this was the trend,” he said. “Some believe that getting a licence actually buys them immunity from search warrants, and it goes back to the problem of Health Canada’s failed promise of inspections.”

City officials have “blown the whistle” on the medical marijuana situation in recent discussions with Health Canada officials.

“We let them know we have a huge, out-of-control problem here because the city has no jurisdiction, and something has to change.”

City officials grasp the privacy ramifications of licensees, Gaetz underlined, and the importance of confidentiality, but nonetheless voted for a motion at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference in Halifax calling for the requirement of a city licence for medical pot growers to ensure compliance with local bylaws, health and safety regulations before getting their federal licence to grow.

Labour dispute stops mail delivery MAIL from Front The union had asked for wage hikes of 3.3 per cent in the first year and 2.75 per cent in each of the next three years.

Canada Post offered a four-year contract lifting pay 1.9 per cent in each of the first three years and 2.0 per cent in the fourth.

Issues at the table include changing technology, job procedures and concessions on wages and benefits for new hires.

Postal workers currently make at least $23 an hour, however Canada Post wanted the starting wage for new hires to begin at $19 an hour.

Canada Post says it must address labour costs as a result of a 17 per cent drop in lettermail business since 2006 due to a rise in online bill payments and other electronic communications.

However, the union says accepting Canada Post’s offer would be a step backwards.

“Realistically, if we go back and accept the number on the table, we’ll be going back to the 1970s and ‘80s in terms of wages and benefits,” said Hansen.

“Being a letter carrier is a good job and we want to keep it a good job.”

In Chilliwack, approximately 55 employees are directly affected by the

lockout.

The federal government warned, on Wednesday afternoon, that back-to-work legislation could be in place as early as Friday if a settlement between Canada Post and the union is not reached. Legislation would mean an arbitrary settlement would be mandated, which Hansen said should be cause for concern for all unions.

“We wouldn’t have a voice at the table anymore, the union’s bargaining rights would be taken away,” said Hansen. “It sets a precedent for all unions negotiating new contracts.” kbartel@theprogress.com ~ with files from Jeff Nagel

R AESIDE

Tempest in a teapot Although the battle over the Harmonized Sales Tax has created some interesting debate, the argument staged in Chilliwack last week was pure theatrics.

HST opponents, angered after being told they could not post signs in the city unless they had a permit, descended on City Hall for a staged media event to protest the ruling.

With threats of a constitutional challenge in the Supreme Court, the protesters accused the city of infringing on their right of free speech.

They said the city was wrong to take down the anti HST signs posted along roadways.

They should check their facts.

Under the Community Charter, the provincial legislation that sets out the powers of municipal governments, the City of Chilliwack does have the authority to regulate signage within the city.

Under “fundamental powers,” the Charter states: “A council may, by bylaw, regulate and impose requirements in relation to matters referred to in section 65 [signs and other advertising].”

As Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz pointed out, Chilliwack’s sign bylaw has nothing to do with freedom of speech. It’s intent is to ensure accountability.

The group is not prevented from posting signs. But there are rules, just as there are rules in any democratic debate. In Chilliwack those wishing to post the signs must first put down $500 and secure a permit.

The money is refunded when the signs are removed.

The bylaw is intended to ensure the city is not littered with signs when a campaign is over, or that city staff – paid by city taxpayers – aren’t the ones doing the cleanup.

Given the facts, the moral indignation voiced by the protesters rings a little hollow. They can put up their signs, but they are not above the laws that everyone else in this city must play by.

The HST debate is an important one, with significant implications for the provincial economy and the delivery of services.

That debate isn’t furthered by political theatre. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Tax my car, but don’t tax my income VICTORIA – I recently bought a used vehicle. Bitter experience with used cars sold privately led me to make the purchase at an established, reputable dealership, and I’m pleased with the result.

The first car I ever bought was a private sale. A young man showed off the old car he had painted himself, while his mother smiled and offered homemade lemonade. Sold for $600.

The choice of drink proved appropriate when the engine clattered to a final halt a week later.

It was then I discovered that the crankcase contained mostly STP Oil Treatment, to conceal the engine’s true state.

At the dealership this spring, the harmonized sales tax was not a hot topic. Like most goods, new and used vehicles were subject to 12 per cent PST and GST before,

and they are subject to 12 per cent HST now.

When I mentioned this in a news report last week, an astute reader in Nanaimo reminded me that it’s not quite that simple. Vehicles, boats and aircraft sold by private individuals Tom are exempt from FLETCHER GST. This was one of the populist concessions the Mulroney government made in an effort to placate angry voters 20 years ago. In B.C., prior to July 2010, private sales were subject to seven-per-cent PST only.

During the hubbub over the implementation of the HST in its 2010 budget, the B.C. Liberal

government also increased tax on private vehicle sales by five per cent, from seven to 12 per cent. The stated reason was to provide “comparable treatment” for private and commercial sales of used vehicles.

This provoked an exchange of partisan accusations that typically passes for debate in the B.C. legislature. It’s a payoff to car dealers, the NDP screamed. You guys opposed all of our income tax cuts and now you’re pretending to support lower taxes, the B.C. Liberals yelled back.

Out in the real world, one can observe the effect of a tax structure that gives an advantage to private sellers.

Municipal governments call them “curbers.” They use their garage, driveway and street to repair and market an endless

series of used cars. Whether they are crooks or not, their efforts are every bit as appealing to the neighbourhood as the guy with multiple illegal suites whose tenants plug up the parking for the whole block.

In each case, they violate zoning rules and hog services for personal benefit. And if you think they pay income or other taxes on their home businesses, I have a 1973 Pinto you might want to test-drive.

The subject of used cars came up last week when NDP leader Adrian Dix belatedly launched his own anti-HST tour. Apparently he’s having second thoughts about letting Bill Vander Zalm set NDP tax policy based on a world government conspiracy theory.

Dix’s first media event was staged in a Burnaby kitchen. The

homeowner dismissed the $350 HST rebate he has been offered to offset costs such as summer camp for his two kids, saying that will be gone several times over if he buys a used car.

This clearly implies that HST has been extended to used cars.

This is the sort of claim that drives much of the rage against it, as people simply scan their bills for those hated three letters.

There are signs that people understand their taxes better, however. An Angus Reid poll last week found that 58 per cent of British Columbians now prefer to pay taxes on their consumption rather than their income.

Tourism group supports 10% HST It’s no secret that the tourism industry in B.C. has struggled with how to respond to the harmonized sales tax. However, in light of the proposed two-percent reduction, it is clear to the Tourism Industry Association of B.C. that the HST will be good for B.C.’s tourism economy in the long run.

This was not black or white for us. As soon as the new HST was announced our association, which represents all of the major tourism industries in B.C., immediately began work, not to oppose the new tax, but to identify and implement ways to mitigate the effects of the tax on our sector.

Part of our challenge was that the impacts of the new harmonized tax were different for different parts of tourism both by

business type and by location: hotel prices went down, the cost of restaurant meals went up, and businesses closer to Alberta which does not have a provincial sales tax were particularly sensitive to HST. Like other concerned sectors of the B.C. economy, we noted decreased consumer confidence around the time HST was implemented in B.C. and Ontario in July 2010. This occurred in the early recovery period after a recession. We have been relieved to see that domestic consumer confidence has begun to trend in a positive direction.

We are very pleased that the provincial government has promised to reduce the HST by two per cent and is actively championing improvements to a fed-

eral visitor rebate program that will encourage foreign buyers to choose Canada and B.C. We now share the growing concern of the broader business community over the uncertainty and considerable financial difficulties that a move back to the old PST-GST system would create for B.C. The provincial government has listened to British Columbians and we are confident they are earnest in their commitments to reduce consumer costs and help impacted sectors like tourism grow into the future.

Now is not the time to take a backwards course. A 10 per cent HST is the way forward for tourism in B.C. Stephen Regan, President Tourism Industry Association of B.C.

New Democrats speak for the people If I found Norman Keller’s letter of June 9 offensive in its biting sarcasm, I was even more troubled to see him equate the NDP’s policies with those of countries such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, Libya and China. Surely Mr. Keller knows the ideologies of these regimes are diametrically opposed to those of socially responsible parties such as the NDP. Since the Conservatives were voted into power by approximately 40 per cent of the population, Mr. Keller should not assume that Canadians as a whole share his point of view. I was also a fairly amused when he referred to the NDP as elitist.

What a strange thing to say when it is precisely

the NDP that has traditionally put the concerns of Mainstreet Canada ahead of those on Baystreet which, in effect, could be considered an elitist group.

As to Mr. Keller’s suggestion that the Canadian lives lost in the two world wars led to our freedom to choose, it would perhaps be useful to heed Maj. Gen. Butler’s warning that “War is a racket. Only a small ‘inside’ group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make huge fortunes.”

The Rotary Club invites Chilliwack to participate in its selfguided walking garden tour Saturday, June 25, featuring eight flourishing gardens throughout the Chilliwack area.

Julian and Pamela Galbecka are key organizers of the event, and are happily looking forward to the tour.

“It initially started out as a fundraiser, but we also felt we had enough self-sufficient gardens here to show the world.

The whole idea is really to just work with our community, show it off and support it,” says Julian.

Proceeds are used as fundraising for the various Rotary activities throughout the community, such as maintaining the Rotary Trail, Rotary pool, and schol-

Not all gardens belong to Rotary members, either, Pam adds.

A $20 admission ticket keeps garden tourists busy from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, visiting eight private gardens from Promontory through Rosedale.

Lifestyle features of the tour include bird house displays, live music and artisan contributions at select venues.

The ticket is also

good for free admission to Minter Gardens the following Sunday.

“This goes on rain or shine, and boy, we keep our fingers crossed for sun!” Pam says.

Linda Phelps was asked to host her garden as part of last year’s tour and believes the turnout was very successful, with upwards of 200 guests.

“It was astounding,” she says.

Boxes will be available in every garden to cast a vote, but the Galbeckas urge anyone who is voting to make sure they see all the gardens on the tour before handing in their ballot.

Once tabs are collected and counted, the garden with the most votes receives a plaque to commemorate having the most favourite garden of the tour that year.

“We’re always looking for new gardens,” says Julian, “and anybody interested in submitting their garden for interest for the following year, we’d love to talk to them.”

on June 26 and then ride into Vancouver, ending at BC Children’s Hospital on that day. I’m asking for help as my goal is to raise at least $5,000 which will go towards research. I am riding my bike for my daughter Lauren who lives with the disease every day and who tirelessly faces each day of therapy and medications with little complaint. For her sister, Alexis, who has been the understanding sibling.

Also, for my brother Andrew, who paved the way for children with CF to live into adulthood and in memory of my mother who gave my daughter the gift of an early diagnosis. Whenever I am training and my lungs hurt from the exertion, I am reminded of what these kids go through and then I’m able to carry on,” she said.

Mary-Ann is an inspiration to me as a mother.

Through dealing with CF, she has learned the importance of living one day at a time; one moment at a time. She has come to appreciate the value of spending precious time with family, creating life-long, special memories. She has learned to deal with what is important, rather than sweating the small stuff.

We so often neglect to thank the Good Lord for the blessing of healthy children and we often take our children for granted. Hug your children, tell them you love them and spend as much quality time as you can with them. That’s what’s truly important. That’s the lesson that MaryAnn reinforced today.

One of the great escapes may be closer than you think - maybe even just outside your door. We all need a special place to ‘get away’ from a very busy and sometimes Brian scary MINTER world to experience serenity. This place has become a fast growing phenomenon called ‘the outdoor room’.

Outdoor rooms are a relatively new concept in North America. In an increasingly pressurized world, we have a need to be outside enjoying fresh air and nature, while doing the things we would normally do indoors.

Leading edge home shows feature outdoor kitchens, bars, entertainment centers and relaxation areas - in short, complete outdoor living all year long.

outdoor room I visited last fall had an outside wall designed as a fireplace. I must say on a cold October night the juxtaposition of the outdoor fireplace and warm, comfy chairs created an ambience hard to match. Okay, the wine may have helped too!

Water is not necessary as part of an outdoor room, but it sure creates atmosphere.

Whether it’s an adjacent pool with koi, an elegant fountain or a stream gurgling over stones, water is calming and serene, while at the same time adding an element of inter-

est and magic to an outdoor room that can seldom be duplicated indoors.

Plants, as always, put the finishing touches on an outdoor room.

Fabulous vines, which can add perfume, privacy, colour and possibly fruit, are absolutely essential. Tall, narrow vertical trees can add delightful screening, as well as frames for lighting at night. The pièces de resistance, however, are containers. Not ordinary containers, but extraordinary ones with great design elements that move them from potted plants into the world of art.

Be careful when naming your sons. Boys who have unusual first names are more likely to have mental problems than boys with conventional names. Girls don’t seem to have this problem.

LAKE LOUISE, ALBERTA – The Canadian wilderness is magnificent, to be sure. Sometimes when you’re out in it, it seems to go on forever, unbroken by the slightest trace of civilization.

This can be a good thing—or not. For those who prefer that their wilderness hikes offer something by way of reward beyond just a spectacular view or a fine place to pitch a tent, let me recommend the trek to the Lake Agnes Teahouse.

More in keeping with the kind of mountain hiking you find in the European Alps, this two-hour ascent in the Canadian Rockies begins on the terrace of the Château Lake Louise, climbs about 400 metres through Engelmann spruce and golden larch, provides excellent views of emerald Lake Louise and the massive glaciers that feed it, and deposits you at the top of a waterfall. Here a pretty tarn, Lake

For those who like something warm and dry as a reward at the end of their mountain hike, the teahouse that concludes the two-hour hike from Château Lake Louise to Lake Agnes is ideal. A log cabin serving food and refreshments has stood next to Lake Agnes since 1901.

JOHN MASTERS/MERIDIAN WRITERS’ GROUP

Agnes, awaits your inspection, which you can do from the comfort of the teahouse.

If you’re so inclined you can continue around the lake and gain further elevation, ending atop a giant jutting thumb of rock called the Big Beehive, for even more panoramic views. Or you

can watch, over a cup of hot tea, the tiny figures of others do it.

There’s been a teahouse here since 1901—part of the plan

by Canadian Pacific Railway, which built Château Lake Louise, to Swiss-ify this part of the Rocky Mountains.

The hike from the château was already

popular back then: Lady Agnes, the gungho wife of Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald, had done it back in 1886. (The same year that she rode for 1,000 kilometres through the Rockies in a chair attached to the cowcatcher of a CPR steam Continued: HIKE/ p19

Hiking above Lake Louise HIKING from p18 engine.)

On the mid-September day I made the climb a steady drizzle was coming down and the mountains were swaddled in clouds.

The teahouse was a warm and welcome sight. When I entered, its windows were misted over and Leonard Cohen’s “So Long, Marianne� was playing.

Despite the weather, the place was almost full. A chalkboard listed the dozens of teas available by the pot; another rhymed off the food menu: soup, sandwiches and baked treats, all made on the premises.

The current teahouse was built in 1981, a spacious log cabin atop a stone cellar. Its season runs

from late May to midOctober. Provisions arrive by helicopter each spring; fresh produce is brought in by backpack by the staff as needed. The staff sleeps on the premises.

You can hike to the teahouse on your own, of course, but Château Lake Louise has guides who will fill the excursion with stories and nature lore.

One of them is Bruce Bembridge, who seems able to answer just about any flora or fauna question visitors throw at him.

On my way down, as so often happens in the Rockies, the weather quickly changed.

The rain stopped, the clouds parted. The sun shone. Whisky jacks and nutcracker jays flitted through the drying trees. Lake Louise glit-

tered. It was almost as good a reward as the teahouse.

Chilliwack School of Performing Arts (CSOPA) students rehearse for their spring concert at the old Arts Centre on Tuesday afternoon. COSPA has a number of performances this weekend as part of its Spring Festival taking place at the UFV theatre. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Young performers on UFV stage all weekend Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Check out the diversity of talent on tap.

Chilliwack School of Performing Arts is ready to present its 2011 Spring Theatre Festival.

More than 75 CSOPA students of musical theatre, dance and vocal arts will be on stage at University of the Fraser Valley Theatre from June 17-19.

Director Andrew Smith tells The Progress he conducted a fairly “exhaustive” search before deciding on two Canadian plays for the spring festival this year.

“We are always looking for plays that deal with teenage issues, anything from bullying, body image, sexuality and homosexuality.”

No Kidding by Myrna Kostash and Patrick MacDonald, and If You Really Love Me by Mark Leiren-Young fit the criteria.

CSOPA’s Senior Performance Class will offer those plays, directed by Smith, which were also selected because they’re by Canadian playwrights.

“We feel that any issues that are worth talking about, are also worth investigating on the stage for audience members.

It gives the actors a chance to

Residences The

ask questions and explore those topics as well.”

The spring festival was a success last year during its inaugural run, and they decided it would be a perfect vehicle for year-end performances.

This year they added shows from the Junior Jumpstart program, which is the precursor to Junior Musical Theatre, said Smith.

“It’s evolving into something terrific that showcases who we really are as CSOPA. This year’s festival is going to be great,” he enthused.

Some highlights of the CSOPA weekend include:

Scene&Heard

Kehoe brings Johnny Cash to life Andrea Rendall The Progress The Man in Black lives on at G.W. Graham theatre Saturday, June 25 with a tribute performance known as “The Life and Times of Johnny Cash.�

Since the performance started touring in 2011, it has had over 600 shows and is now the longest running Johnny Cash tribute show in Canada.

Gary Kehoe, as the Man in Black, has been performing for decades and created his tribute show in 2004. Kehoe is from the Okanagan Valley and has always been involved with writing and performing music.

Cash will be accompanied by his friend Roy Orbinson (Derek Siteman) throughout the performance to help create the feeling of the authentic country music show.

For Kehoe, making a career of paying tribute to Cash was an easy choice. “His songs were earthier than most others. While the vast majority of songs had love as a theme, Johnny’s songs were often about work, prison, hardships, real life and history. In short, story songs,� he says. “I found that aspect to be very refreshing. For

me, lyrics were always the most important part of a song. For these reasons it was quite natural for me to perform his songs.�

Doors will open at 7 p.m. for an 8 p.m. show.

Tickets are $30 and can be purchased online at www.ticketweb.ca or by phone at 1-888-

Low mortgage rates, good inventory and adjusted prices, plus potential for income, appreciation and building equity makes investment property especially attractive. It is important to get professional advice before you dive into the investment market. You may want to start with a personal financial advisor who can help you set your investment goals.

Your Realtor can help you select a competitively-priced property that meets these goals and tell you if a particular property is a solid investment.

What features would make it easy to rent? What kind of maintenance expenses are you likely to incur? What will your cash flow be? While you cannot predict how much a particular property will appreciate, you can get the history of price trends in the market from your Realtor.

Location is the prime factor because a great location will make the property easier to rent or sell for top dollar. You should also consider your cash flow situation, since it is often difficult to break even or show a profit from rental property for several years. However, the property will appreciate as you own it, so you should consider the amount of equity you will be building each year. If you are planning to become a landlord, consult a good Realtor and an accountant to help you make an informed investment decision.

When you are shopping for a condominium or townhouse investment, there are some very important questions to consider.

First and foremost, does the strata allow owners to rent their units, and if so, is the majority of units occupied by owners or tenants? If the majority of the building or complex is owner occupied, there could be strict rental policies in place, or, with a majority vote, the option to rent can be terminated.

I have been a licensed Realtor in Chilliwack for the past 21 years.

I have a previous background of about 40 years in a combination of new home construction, home sales and architectural drafting and design. I served on the Chilliwack Real Estate Board for 2 years as director, 2 years as president and 1 year as past president. As well, I served a 2 year term as a director for British Columbia Real Estate Association.

I believe strongly in Realtor professionalism. I believe Realtor professional education is essential in order to serve both Buyer and Seller in a professional manner.

I have a long list of satisfied clientele who have now become friends. Let my common sense, expertise and knowledge help you in your next real estate transaction.

Find out about the monthly strata fees for maintaining the common areas of the project. It is important to know what is included in these charges. The fees may be higher in condominiums which offer many services and recreational facilities, such as swimming pools and clubhouses. However, these features may also increase the rental value of your condominium if you plan to use your unit primarily as an investment property.

Your Realtor can obtain strata documents which contain important information about the budget and the rules of the association. These documents should tell you if improvements are contemplated and whether there is a reserve fund to handle the expense or if you should expect additional assessments. The strata documents include policies regarding pets, rentals, and access to recreational facilities. What are the owner’s responsibilities and what maintenance will be handled by the association? If you have any concerns, your Realtor can advise you as to whether the property suits your investment needs.

If you are going to be an absentee owner, good property management is one of the most important factors when making a decision about where to purchase investment property. You may choose to take an active role in some aspects of the management of your property, however, handling the details long distance can be more time-consuming than it is worth. There are many property management companies who will take over your investment property and manage it for you for a small monthly fee.

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.

People from small towns all over Canada may remember their mothers attending the “ladies aid” meeting. Regardless of what the group was called, the ladies met monthly to work towards projects to make a better community. I am a proud member of the Camp River Ladies, a small group of fun loving women who do a bit of community service and fundraising to donate back to charitable organizations.

On June 22nd the Camp River Ladies will be hosting their annual Strawberry Social featuring local strawberries, fun and fellowship.

For a mere $3 per adult or $2 for a child, you can have a heaping bowl of ice-cream, strawberries and a piece of homemade cake on the side. There’s a cake walk for kids and adults alike, a candy guess, raffle for a quilt and hand spun wool crafts. You can find me working the cake walk in the hall at 50246 Camp River Road.

Guild auditions coming up Auditions for Chilliwack Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Guildâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall production, Witness for the Prosecution, are set for on Sunday, June 26 and Monday, June 27, from 7 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.

The rehearsal schedule will be set in consultation with the cast, but rehearsals will most likely start near the end of August. Production dates are October 12-15, and Oct. 19-22.

Written by Agatha Christie, Witness for the Prosecution is a gripping courtroom drama about a young man accused of killing a wealthy older woman.

Through a series of plot twists and turns, suspicion falls on various characters until the murderer is dramatically revealed in the stunning denouement.

There are roles for 14 to 20 men and women, ages 20 - 70.

For more information please contact the Director Janet Carroll at car22@telus.net

school, work, family, and the community life over the long term. And unfortunately, some mental health disorders persist into adulthood, meaning that children with mental health disorders often become adults with mental health disorders, particularly if undiagnosed and untreated. I think it’s fair to say, and the paper argues, that mental health disorders are the leading health problems that Canadian children face after infancy.

The article highlighted a strategy aimed at improving children’s mental health, including approaches for both prevention and intervention, namely: promoting healthy development for all children; presenting disorders in children at risk; providing treatment for children with disorders; and monitoring outcomes for all children. Promoting healthy development for all children would include understanding the role the social environment has on mental well-being in children, which could include: reducing socio-economic adversity, reducing child maltreatment, and reducing the impact of parental mental illness.

Preventing disorders for children at risk would include fostering and maintaining resiliency (the ability to overcome adversity) against risk factors at the child, family, school, and community level. Protective factors such as: positive temperament, good learning abilities, warm, and consistent parenting, safety and stability, positive school

The past few weeks our column has been devoted to the theme of creating Mentally Healthy Communities, first with a focus on the workplace, and then with an emphasis on spirituality. This week’s article, the last in this miniseries, will focus Eryn on chilWICKER dren, highlighting the premise that addressing mental health and disorder in children may be the most effective way to improve the mental health of the population at large.

Our articles have come from a collection of papers devoted to creating and maintaining mentally healthy communities in Canada. The World Health Organization defines mental health as a state of social and emotional wellbeing, not merely the absence of disorder.

Which means that it is essential for optimal human development and functioning across the lifespan; yet at any given time an estimated 14 per cent of children in Canada (more than 800,000) experience mental health disorders that cause significant symptoms and impairment at home, school, and In the community.

Why is mental health important in children?

Well, disorders cause distress and prevent them from thriving and reaching their potential. They also prevent full participation in

Tele-workshop for Alzheimer caregivers

Perspectives HEALTH from p39 could potentially receive over 1,500 referrals a year, have 60 children on the waitlist at any given time, have a wait time of two months for an initial intake, and only have a handful of therapists, and go unnoticed.

Why? Perhaps the stigma associated with mental disorders, the invisibility of mental health disorders meaning that children go undetected, or maybe the naiveté that significant mental health disorders could even exist in childhood. Isn’t it time that children and all facets of their health and well-being are made a priority - I think the article sums it up nicely: “Investments in children’s mental health are among the most important investments that any community could make.”

Eryn Wicker (M.A., R.C.C.) is a mental health clinician with the Child and Youth Mental Health team of the Ministry of Children and Family Development, Chilliwack. BC.

Tall task ahead as Smyl rebuilds Mills roster Eric J. Welsh, The Progress

Harvey Smyl was all smiles at a news conference to make official the arrival of the junior A Chilliwack Chiefs. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Douglas lands safely with Chiefs Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Barry Douglas can breathe a silent sigh of relief knowing that he’s landed safely in a place that he’s very familiar with.

At Wednesday’s introductor y press conference, Chilliwack Chiefs co-owner Moray Keith officially announced Douglas as the first hire for the junior A club.

Title to be determined.

“This team is in my blood and always has been,” Douglas said with a smile. “It was

always first on our Porter wasn’t good for list to be back here. future hockey employI’d been around the ment in Chilliwack.

Chiefs for so But in the end, long, it was a he believed his no-brainer that track record if we could would speak for make it work itself. we would.”

“I have a very Douglas was good histor y caught square with his ownerin the middle ship group and of the messy I was with the Barry Bruins situaChiefs before tion, working DOUGLAS the WHL ever closely with came here,” Bruins president Douglas said. “They Darryl Porter, not the (Keith, Jim Bond and most popular guy in Harvey Smyl) know town. what I can do and It may have crossed I’m very happy to be his mind at some point involved again.” that being linked with Douglas is likely to

be leading the marketing charge, trying to get locals excited about the BCHL after five years of major junior.

“I don’t look at it as one versus the other, I look at it as selling quality hockey,” he said.

“Back in the day, the Chiefs were like a best friend, always there for you. They owned the community and the community owned them. They didn’t win a championship every year, but you came to the rink every night knowing it was going to be good hockey and good fun.”

Harvey Smyl did his bit at the Chilliwack Chiefs introductor y press conference Wednesday morning, smiling and talking about his hopes for the second coming of the junior A team.

He enjoyed the moment, reconnecting with old friends and meeting some new ones.

And then he went back to work.

It can be said with reasonable certainty that no junior A coach in Canada has a bigger job ahead of him this summer than Smyl.

The 49-year-old must take a transplanted Quesnel roster that won 13 of 60 regular season games last year, and somehow turn it into a winner.

And he has to do this knowing most of his competitors have a huge head start.

“The way it works now is we do a lot of our recruiting during the season, so in the last half of the year we had kids in Langley that we were hoping would be future Chiefs,” Smyl said. “We had to back off when we got into the process of selling the team, and even the kids we were recruiting hard, we didn’t know exactly what was going to happen. We weren’t going to mess with anyone’s future so we suggested they do what was right for them and their families.”

An admirable and necessar y approach, but a costly one as several of those players committed to other programs.

“One or two of those kids held off to see what would happen, and hopefully we’ll get them committed, but we are scrambling,” Smyl admitted. “We do have a

good core coming down from Quesnel and if we have an opportunity to acquire more talent, we have an ownership group that is committed to doing what is necessary to make this team competitive.”

Regarding Quesnel, Smyl believes the 13-383-6 record in 2010-11 does not tell the entire story.

“Yes, they only won 13 but I think they had 20 losses by one goal.

And they were playing in a tough division,” Smyl said.

As a team, Quesnel surrendered 250 regular season goals, fourth most in the 16 team league.

But the coach is excited to see what goaltender Bryton Udy can do.

The 18-year-old Vernon native had some rough numbers playing behind a leaky Mills D. He won four of 28 appearances with a 3.67 goals-against average and .876 save percentage.

“But he actually had a very good year last year and continued to progress all the way through, and he is jacked about coming to Chilliwack,” Smyl noted.

For ward Spencer Graboski will be making the transition to the Fraser Valley.

The hulking Quesnel native stands six-foottwo and led the Mills with 15 goals and 36 points (in 59 games) last season.

The Mills scored a league low 140 goals last year.

“Graboski’s a young player who’s big and has all kids of ability,” Smyl said. “Put him with some good players and he should be a top end guy.”

Smyl also mentioned North Vancouver native Malcolm Gould, a BCHL rookie last year who potted 14 goals and 31 points in 57 games.

Smithers native Derek

Huisman, another rookie, had 14 goals and 28 points.

“They’re good players and they’re also character players, and sometimes it’s hard to find guys who bring both,” Smyl said. “There is a core, but until we throw them into the mix and see exactly what we have, I can’t say how it’ll look.”

Keep in mind, Smyl is a man who doesn’t miss the playoffs.

Never has in his coaching career and he doesn’t want to now.

But with the BCHL altering their playoff structure again to allow just four postseason berths in each conference (Coastal and Interior), he’ll have to beat out the likes of Vernon, Penticton, Salmon Arm and Westside to get there.

“Maybe this year I wish we had the old playoff format, but it is what it is,” Smyl said. “A lot is about economics, and not bringing a lot of money into the coffers in the first round. Purely from a hockey perspective, it bodes well for our league winning national championships, with one less round to fight through.”

So, does Smyl believe he can pull it off?

Can he hit the ground running with the new look Chiefs and avoid getting buried under an avalanche of Vipers, Vees and Silverbacks?

“My intention is yes, and we’re going to have to make some fast progression to do that,” he said. “Our plan is to be in the mix. Where in the mix I don’t know, but certainly not at the bottom. If we can get some luck with our recruits and make a trade or two, then certainly we’ll be right there.”

Ford’s impressive kayaking resume includes a world title in 1999, a World Cup championship in 2003 and 16 Canadian national championships.

Another Chilliwack native, Jazmyne Denhollander, secured a spot on the junior A team by finishing first in the K1W (kayak single woman) race.

The Sardis secondary school student’s time was the fastest recorded by any of the female kayakers in the junior or senior divisions.

The 17-year-old and her junior teammates will compete July 9-10 in the U-23 Pre-World Championships in Wausau, Wisconsin. ‘’This was a very

Chilliwack native Peter Chick is in the hunt for a hornet title at the Agassiz Speedway. SUBMITTED PHOTO

With four racing days already done, the season is well underway at the Agassiz Speedway.

Robert Adams is one of several local drivers gunning for the checkered flag, and he will be providing regular and exclusive racing coverage in the Chilliwack Progress sports section.

Today, he has a look at a man who travels a long way to fill his need for speed.

As Roberto Luongo is to hockey, Peter Chick is to the hornet class at the Agassiz Speedway.

Every so often, you find someone you really enjoy competing against, someone who makes racing challenging, exciting, competitive and fun.

Driving his No. 4 car, Chick is one of those drivers.

A Chilliwack native who currently works in Calgary, Chick somehow finds the time to get to Agassiz for race days.

It’s a long, long, long way to come for 30 minutes on the track, but he does it for the joy of racing and competition.

There is no million dollar payday at the end of these races.

Chick pays his own way, even pulling out the wallet to get his pit pass.

Chick has raced autocross for more than two decades, but he didn’t get into circle track racing until a mere five years ago.

He saw the races at Agassiz, and thought that he would love to build a race car with his kids. It turned out to be so much more fun than he thought.

To further his skills, he took a road racing course at Rivers Edge Race Track in Mission.

In his rookie season he placed 23rd out of 25 cars.

Last year, he placed sixth in a field of 35.

What’s interesting about Peter is his extremely tenacious driving and his ability to almost predict the movements of other cars.

He’s among the best at spotting opportunities to move up during a race.

Off the track, he’s always willing to lend a hand to a driver in need.

“The hornet drivers

are the best group of guys and always help each other out,” he said.

“Some great friendships have been made at the track and some of my best memories are from the road trips to Merritt, Penticton, and Munroe (Washington).

The campouts before raceday and the camaraderie experienced are remarkable” Peter and I have some shared common ground.

Both of us are pilots by trade.

Peter is an aircraft maintenance quality specialist with Air Canada Jazz and owns his own aircraft specialist company.

Of course, our friendship gets competitive on the track, and he’s not shy about stating his intentions.

“I will just go out there and win,” he said.

“It’s that simple.”

Well, I know that I am going to do everything I can to prevent that from happening. Maybe if we pull a spark plug wire off his car we might have a better shot at beating him.

Hmmmm.

Check www.agassizspeedway.com for details about the next race day. ● The Agassiz Speedway holds its second annual Racing for the Cure cancer fundraiser June 25.

There will be a car available to be smashing during the intermission.

For a minimum donation you can beat the car with a sledgehammer.

All money collected will be donated to a cancer charity. ● This is the first race for the Hit to Pass cars this year. Their first event was called on account of weather.

These cars are exciting to watch, and so tremendously popular with the crowds.

Everyone loves the hits and accidents and the Hit to Pass people do this every lap they race.

Sometimes these hits are nudges and sometimes they are significantly more.

Smoking tires and metal to metal is what this class it’s all about.

All V8 engines with straight pipes makes for a noisy field.

Leah was the oldest child born to the late William and Mary Bischke in Irvine, Alberta on August 1st 1924. She grew up on her family farm, along with her three siblings, Rueben, Alice and Edna. At the tender age of 18, Leah met Herb, who was a young pastor and he would often come to the farm for ‘Sunday afternoon visits.’ They were married on October 7th 1943, their son Larry to follow August 5th 1944. They served as Pastor in many churches throughout BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan in the following years.

Leah served as a Sunday school teacher (even teaching her own granddaughters), taught Bible Study and was Evangelical Women’s president for several years. She loved books and had always dreamed of becoming an elementary school teacher. Leah was an amazing cook and homemaker. The family had many wonderful meals of her strudels, chicken, cinnamon buns, maple walnut chiffon cake and her plum kuchen.

She was a skilled seamstress and her granddaughter’s wardrobe benefitted from this talent.

She is predeceased by her husband Herbert T. Ginther on May 16th, 1986 and her parents William and Mary Bischke. She leaves to mourn her son Larry (Renate) Ginther, 2 granddaughters Jennifer (Gary) Lau and Stephanie (Chris) MacDonald and 4 great-grandsons Braedon Will, Jake MacDonald and Nathan and Jackson Lau.

THOMSON Gordon George

Gord passed away June 5th, 2011, at the Chilliwack General Hospital after a month long

INSURANCE BROKERS

illness with his heart.

Gord was born November 26th, 1940 in Chilliwack, BC to George and Helen Thomson.

He will be forever missed by his loving wife Joan (Rudolph) Thomson as well as Tiana.

He loved with all his heart his children, Sheila (Shawn Norton) Dufault and Heather (Craig) Holcik, his grandchildren Chantelle Brigden, Kyle Unrau, Sarah (Jason) Black, Kaleena Unrau, Chelsea (Kyle Zasitko)Dufault, and his great-grandchildren Autym, Andon and Emma.

Also left to miss his smile, his sisters Margaret (Don) Northgraves and Marion (Allen) Rendall, and brother Charlie (Lorraine) Thomson, nieces Pat (Neil) Clark, Colleen Northgraves, Sheena Rendall, Marg (Rob) Atkinson, nephews Steven Rendall, Shane Thomson, Clarke (Beverly) Thomson, Blair (Carla) Thomson as well as all the wonderful in-laws, and extended family.

Gord was predeceased by his parents George and Helen and his best buds “Teddy” and “Tara”.

Gord was a hard working man right until the end. He started in pipelining, forestry and then found his love in the automotive industry with managing the Auto Marine Electric and then running the Husky Truck Stop with his brother Charlie until his retirement. Not even retirement could slow him down. He worked until the end at Future Shop selling appliances which he enjoyed especially with his gift of gab.

A man of strength, dignity, Scottish pride and respect for others, he enjoyed his travelling with Joan and their 4 legged kids. Either off to gamble in the states, or off to relax at Pavillion he was always so happy to get away.

The family would like to thank the Royal Columbian Hospital for their tender care, Dr. Sun, Chilliwack General Hospital, and the family and neighbours for all you have done for us.

There will be a Celebration of Life at Camp River Hall, 50246 Camp River Road Chilliwack from 2 until 5 June 26th. Open mike to share thoughts and stories.
