Crash claims couple Robert Freeman Chilliwack Progress A Chilliwack man and woman were killed when their vehicle left Highway 1 and plunged into the Vedder Canal early Wednesday morning. The two people, in their mid50s, were heading east at the time of the 4:45 a.m. accident. “For whatever reason, they left the road just prior to the cement barriers and ended up in the canal between the two bridges,” said RCMP Staff Sgt. Jim Simmill at Fraser Valley Traffic Services. The cause of the accident is still under investigation. Most accidents at the bridge over the canal have involved westbound, rather than eastbound, traffic. The names of the victims are not being released until families are notified by police. Early reports said the two people were inside the vehicle when it was pulled from the water.

Emergency crews were on scene Wednesday morning on Highway 1 at the Vedder Canal where this car went off the road and into the water at about 5 a.m. Pictured above is the west end of the bridge. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Flood Watch: Residents’ safety is the priority: city Jennifer Feinberg The Progress City officials will “work hard” to assist residents living outside the dike, who may be affected by freshet flooding, pledged Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz. This is even though the residents are technically responsible for flood and erosion protection themselves. A total of 42 homes and eight industrial operations are located outside the city dike, as well as farms and First Nations.

City officials coordinated the filling of 8,000 sandbags to protect a residence on Ballam Road last week, and more were being filled at another home on Wednesday. Several residents whose properties may be or were impacted, showed up at city hall Tuesday for the council meeting, sitting in the back rows to hear the city’s plan of action. At the end of the meeting, Mayor Gaetz addressed the residents’ request to meet in person with city officials. “Everyone is working hard to

make that happen,” she told them, as they filed out of council chambers at city hall. Properties safely behind the city’s main dike are not at imminent risk for flooding in Chilliwack, but it all depends on the weather in the next while. City officials to date have notified the Provincial Emergency Program (PEP), and are monitoring conditions daily. They will also be looking for sources of funding to pay for response and recovery efforts, despite the fact that the provincial

response mandate favours protecting human life over land. “The priority is to ensure the safety of those residents in the affected floodplain area,” Tara Friesen, assistant manager of environmental services for the city, said in an updated presentation. A portion of McSween Road also slumped and had water flowing over it this week. In response, the city had that portion of the road raised “to force the water back toward the river,” she said.

The Fraser River was measured at 5.5 metres at the Mission bridge, or “bank full” conditions on Wednesday. That could mean more flooding in unprotected areas, and will prompt regular dike patrols. The “isolated flooding” near Carey Point (Chilliwack Progress, June 9) was actually caused by ongoing erosion that’s very difficult to mitigate, said Friesen. In fact, the berm that failed and caused the flooding was never under the protection afforded by the city’s Continued: RIVER/ p9

$20,000 reward offered for return of stolen silver Robert Freeman

home safe was a “big chunk” of his savings for retirement. “I’m prepared to offer $20,000 for any information that leads to the arrest and conviction and recovery of the property,” he told The Progress Tuesday. Meanwhile, the police investigation continues and anyone with information about the dramatic daytime theft is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS. The victim said he was alone at home when two men wearing blue vests and the gold insignia

The Progress The “blockbuster heist” of more than a half ton of silver ingots from a Chilliwack home in February is now being matched by a blockbuster reward of $20,000. The owner of the silver, who didn’t want his name used, said he decided to offer the reward since the RCMP investigation hasn’t turned up any “substantial leads” four months after the Feb. 9 home invasion. The 52-year-old man said the $750,000 in silver bars he kept in a

of RCMP officers “burst through the door” shouting “where’s the woman, where’s the woman” and said they were answering a domestic violence call. The victim told them they had the wrong house. But it soon became clear they had the right house for their purposes. “They definitely knew about (the silver),” the victim said. “They came with the intent of robbing me of the silver bullion.” He said he was punched in the head and ordered to reveal the location of the safe and the combi-

nation to open it. “One guy was wearing a pistol, and the other guy had a knife,” the victim said. “You don’t play games with those guys.” “The guy with the gun, the leader of the two, he was very skilled,” he added, and quickly opened the safe that usually took 10-20 minutes to open. He was then tied up and stuffed in a bedroom closet while the robbers made their getaway, possibly in a white, sedan-type vehicle. The victim said he kept the bullion at home because, unlike gold, silver takes up a lot of space and

no bank safety deposit boxes were big enough to hold it. He has since learned a bank in Toronto would have rented space in its vault. How the robbers learned about the silver bullion at his home is still a puzzle, he said. “We’ve been racking our brains trying to figure out who could have been the loose cannon,” he said. With any luck, the robbers or someone close to them will slip up and blab about their exploits - and that information will get back to police and lead to an arrest. rfreeman@theprogress.com

BIA pulls plug on Christmas parade Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Bernard elementary PAC member Deana Reid is hoping the school will be able to raise enough funds to purchase a new playground by September 2012. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Parents group rallies for new playground Katie Bartel The Progress If Bernard elementary can’t raise a minimum of $60,000 in a year, its intermediate students will be out a playground. Last year the school district deemed the wood-structure playground that’s been at the school for more than 20 years unfit. It’s falling apart, the chemically treated wood is rotting and the structure has wasp nests all throughout. The playground is scheduled for removal next summer. “What used to be fine 20 years ago, is not fine anymore,” said Deana Reid, vice-president of the

school’s parent advisory council and head of the playground fundraising committee. “It’s just not deemed fit anymore.” Playgrounds over the last 10 or so years have evolved from wood structures to bright plastic alternatives that are deemed safer, more environmentally sound, don’t run the risk of splinters or rot, and are easier to maintain. They’re also expensive. A playground comparable in size to the one Bernard currently has runs upwards of $100,000. PACs are responsible for raising funds for playgrounds as playgrounds do not fall within district funding parameters. So far, Bernard’s PAC has

raised $16,000. “Fundraising has been a challenge,” said Reid. Bernard elementary is an inner-city school with a high transient and high aboriginal population. Many of its families are low income and don’t have the extra funds to help support a new playground. And yet, that playground is the only source of non-instructional play for the majority of Bernard’s student population. “Because we are an inner-city school, most of these kids do not belong to any extracurricular activities outside of school; they can’t afford it,” said Reid. “After school, and during recess and

lunch is the only opportunity for a lot of these kids to play, to be a part of a cohesive group with their friends.” Research has shown that play is an essential part of a child’s development. It contributes to the cognitive, physical, social and emotional well-being of children. It builds social skills, improves language development and stimulates creativity and imagination. “Playgrounds are so extremely important for kids,” said Reid. “It’s a place for kids to create their own worlds, to pretend, to meet their friends, to hang off the monkey bars. It is an integral part of the school.” Continued: SCHOOL/ p18

The Downtown Chilliwack Business Improvement Association is pulling the plug on hosting the popular downtown Christmas parade. The decision came on the heels of “significant” board discussion and consultation with merchants, said a BIA official in a letter to city hall, “as to how to best impact the downtown with limited resources of the BIA for the Christmas season.” In response, council decided Tuesday to hold off on going to a formal RFP process, and instead asked city staff to see if there is any interest among groups or individuals in assuming the responsibility of parade coordination. It could even entertain the idea of a location change for the event. There is still strong support in the merchant-based group for the idea of the parade continuing in the downtown to launch the Christmas season, and BIA officials wished the city well in identifying the new organizing body. The BIA board decided on May 17 to cease coordinating and hosting the parade “in order to focus our attention on broader, multi-day BIA Christmas events,” according to a letter to the city signed by BIA board president Ken Popove. “To assist with a smooth transition of this event, we will be prepared to share our information with the new coordinators,” said Popove. He also thanked the city for its unwavering support during the past 10 years of the event. The total budget for the 2010 parade was $15,000, of which the city’s contribution was $7,000.

School district loses appeal The Chilliwack school district has lost its appeal of a $1.3 million court award to a student who was injured playing field hockey in 1998 when he was 13. The appeal court upheld the lower court’s ruling, but reduced the amount of the award by $265,000 to $1.1 million. Devon Hussack, now 26, suffered a concussion when he was struck in the face with a field hockey stick during a physical education class at Vedder

middle school on April 17, 1998. But that injury developed over time into a “serious somatoform disorder” which is a psychiatric illness commonly known as hypochondria. The trial judge found the disorder was caused by the injury, and that the P.E. teacher had breached his duty of care by allowing Devon to play the game without “progressively attaining the necessary skills” to play safely.

Bill to elect senator gives Chilliwack MLA a ‘good feeling’ Robert Freeman The Progress

The first step in electing a B.C. senator was taken in the legislature last week as Chilliwack MLA John Les introduced a private member’s bill that sets out the mechanics of the process. Senators are currently appointed, but Conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper is expected to introduce legislation this month that allows provinces to elect senators, and ends the life-terms of their appointments. A senate vacancy will open up next year as B.C. Senator Gerry St. Germain, 75, is expected to retire. “If there is an opportunity in the month ahead to have a senator elected, maybe that’s something that should be done,” Les said, explaining why he introduced the bill. The Senate Nominee Election Act sets out the electoral process to create a list of senate-nominees, who have the backing of 1,000 eligible voters. The candidates must also register as independents or as affiliates of any political party registered with the federal or provincial government. Les said his bill is “an attempt to democratize the senate” which plays a role in shaping the laws of the nation. Continued: BILL/ p7

Bill rekindles Senate debate Meanwhile, Harper stirred up controversy last week by appointing three defeated Conservative candidates to the senate. Les said his bill will likely come back to the legislature for second reading in the fall, or it might be replaced by a government bill. But even if that happens, the Chilliwack MLAs said his bill at least starts the debate in B.C. for what could become a significant milestone in the history of the province. “It’s always a good feeling to bring something forward that has some merit, and engages people’s attention and interest,” he said.

BILL from p6 “It begs the question, ‘Why shouldn’t they be elected?’,” Les said. “I think by far the majority of people would prefer to elect a senate.” Many would like to see the senate abolished, he agreed, but that would take a constitutional amendment and “that ain’t gonna happen,” he said. Premier Christy Clark supports the bill, as does NDP Leader Adrian Dix. In 1990, Albertan Stan Waters became the first elected senator in Canada, but he died a year later. Four senatenominees were elected by Albertans in 2004, but none have been appointed to the senate.

diking system. An estimated $5 million is what it would cost the city to shore up the bank, because they found a 100-foot scour hole near the failed river bank. Bank protection is therefore not seen as a “cost-effective” measure in this case, said Friesen, because of the risk of material slumping right back into the scour hole. Options are therefore limited, and liability is a factor in the scenario where they would redirect the current of the river. Coun. Ken Huttema said the staff presentation left some questions unanswered. “It doesn’t give the residents on the other side of the dike a feeling of confidence,” he said. “There’s an awful lot of valuable farmland in the area. What can we do as a city to get some provincial help? If we are going to leave a deep scour hole, it’s only going to get worse.” Friesen suggested contacting agriculture ministry officials for assistance. “I realize there’s very little that can be done right now, but I think we definitely have to have a long-term plan to address it,” Huttema added. Gaetz pointed out that city officials have been “very busy” sandbagging, an activity that the property owners would typically be responsible for on their own. A call for sandbagging volunteers went out this week and anyone interested can call 604-7938713. Weather conditions could ultimately be the determining factor in the peak river levels reached this month. B.C. officials said they are not expecting any significant rise in the Fraser River — but the flood window hasn’t shut and “adverse weather” like a sharp spike in temperatures causing rapid melt of mountain snowpacks could change the picture. “We don’t know

what Mother Nature is going to give us for weather,” Emergency Management B.C. spokesman Chris Duffy said during a conference call with reporters Tuesday. There’s still a number of days before the peak flows of the Fraser River during flood season are over, he said. Dave Campbell, head of B.C.’s River Forecast Centre, said that “window” for the Fraser usually closes around the end of June and “this year we don’t anticipate much different.” “At this point we’re not anticipating anything significant,” he said. But both officials stressed the need to stay vigilant and keep an eye on the river. “We don’t know yet how bad it could be,” he said, if there is a rapid melt or heavy rains in the Fraser watershed.”

R AESIDE

A step toward reform There is some irony that as Liberal MLA John Les introduced a Bill that might lead to the election of Senators in B.C., Prime Minister Stephen Harper was appointing new members to the upper house. Ironic because it was the Reform Party – precursor to the current Conservatives – that brought the idea of substantial Senate reform closer to reality than ever before. It was, in fact, a key part of the Reform platform: A Senate that was equal, elected, and effective. Although that concept of the “Triple E” Senate has since been tempered by political realities (like reopening the constitutional debate), reform remains a goal for many politicians. Of course, what to do with the Senate has been a Canadian pastime for decades. Many, including the opposition NDP see little use for this “house of sober, second thought” and would rather see it abolished. Other see it as a chance to improve the democratic process in Canada. John Les is one of those. “I think by far the majority of people would prefer to elect a Senate,” Les says. (See story, page 6.) He’s right. For too long the Canadian Senate has had all the appearance of a private club, where its promise of lifetime membership was seen as the ultimate reward for party fidelity. It has been political tradition for the Prime Minister of the day to stock the Senate with selections who were sympathetic to the governing party’s views. Prime Minster Harper faced that same accusation when he recently appointed three new members to Senate – all Conservative candidates who were defeated in the recent federal election. Still, there is hope. It is expected that the Conservatives will introduce changes that will give provinces greater say over how candidates for the Senate are chosen. The Private Member’s Bill introduced by MLA Les, serves as an important step toward that necessary reform. ~Greg Knill, Black Press

Don’t undervalue the importance of family medicine Wanted: Family doctor. Preferably young, healthy, and knowledgeable. Warm and friendly are assets. Clock watchers, and those with the last name House need not apply. It’s come to this, a want ad. I’ve asked friends and professionals, I’ve tweeted, I’ve Facebooked, I’ve even cold-called – in two different cities – and I keep coming up with nothing. This is my final outlet. When my doctor was forced to retire four months ago due to illness, I didn’t realize how hard it would be to replace him. Sure I’d heard all the reports of doctor droughts in communities throughout B.C., but I’ve never been in this situation before and I never thought I would be. For 32 years, from the time I was a one year old to present, I have been going to the same family practice. And while that practice had been sold a few

times over the years, I was never once required to seek out a new physician, a new one was always appointed to me – until now. In 1994 more than 50 per cent of medical graduates in Canada went into family medicine, now just 30 per cent are going into it. Last year, the University of British Columbia, Katie the only medical university in B.C., BARTEL had 288 students. Of those, 30 per cent went into family medicine. That’s 86.4 doctors being distributed throughout B.C. for a total population of approximately 4.5 million people. No wonder I don’t have a doctor. But the thing is, I need a doctor. For 24 years I’ve had Type

1 diabetes, and as much as I’ve wished, hoped, prayed for it to vanish in the night, I’ve since come to the realization it’s not going away. While I am in great control, so good my diabetic specialist has repeatedly told me my blood glucose numbers are numbers to grow old with, you never know with this disease. And I am not willing to take any chances without having a family physician. You may think a general practitioner can’t help me, that they’re at the lowest level of medicine for this disease, but I’ll tell you you’re wrong. My family doctor has always been my first line of defense when it comes to this disease. Always. He was the one who diagnosed me with diabetes after just two minutes of listening to my mom tell him my symptoms, and he was the one who regularly checked

on me when I was imprisoned in hospitals over the years, and when he felt he couldn’t help, he was the one who sent me to a variety of specialists. Dr. Jim Thorsteinson, executive director of the BC College of Family Physicians, said GPs have long been under-valued despite their benefits to society. “It really pays to have an individual family physician working with a patient,” said Thorsteinson. “The longer term relationship of a doctor working with a patient and supporting their care and knowing them, that continuity translates into significantly less hospitalization. Family physicians are a value to the individuals obviously, but also to the overall healthcare system and our province’s wellbeing.” And yet, there’s a stigma attached to family medicine, said Thorsteinson, who himself was encouraged by his peers and

medical professionals not to go into the field because he was “too smart” for it. “There are certainly those who look down on doctors going into family medicine because they think it’s too easy,” said Thorsteinson. “There’s also some who think it’s too hard because of the added workload.” But there is hope. Last year the B.C. government committed to every B.C. resident having a family doctor by the year 2015, which is all well and good, but what’s a Type 1 like me, who is in immediate need of a doctor, to do until then? At this point, the grumbly sarcasm of Dr. Gregory House is starting to sound pretty darn perfect. Katie Bartel is a reporter with the Chilliwack Progress. Reach her at kbartel@theprogress.com

Chilliwack voters have the right to choose With respect to the letter by Dick Harrington, Campaign Manager for Gwen O’Mahony, Progress letters, Thursday, June 2: The results of the recent election are a reflection of the lack of understanding of the political issues on the part of the citizens of Chilliwack as you clearly point out, Dick. In defense of these people you must accept that we are not as educated in the process or as intelligent as are you, but then I think you said that in effect. Do not despair, if you continue working, your efforts may result in a more progressive system in which people such as yourself are empowered to make better decisions on the part of we “unwashed”. There are many examples of these more

progressive and efficient political systems: Iran, Saudi Arabia, Libya, PR China, etc. If you cannot wait for Canadians to see the light, perhaps there might be a role which better suits your views in one of those systems. Canadians are a backward group, no doubt, and in fact there have been backward in their views. The fact that nearly 100,000 made a bad decision by opposing the idea that they should make their own choices is simply a reflection of lack of your clear understanding. No, I don’t mean the almost 100,000 voters in Chilliwack, I mean the 100,000 Canadians who died in the First and Second World Wars to allow us the privilege or making

our own decisions rather than having them imposed by some elite. If you feel that the number of hours on the job should trump our right to make our choice of the best candidate then perhaps you should ask the NDP to put forth a proposal for some sort of electoral system based on seniority but at least do Canadians the respect of allowing us to choose. Let’s hope Gwen publicly distances herself from such as yourself or she will have less chance in the next election. Frankly sir, I would vote for a spotted dog before someone of your ilk, but then that likely shows how I am misguided. Norm Keller Chilliwack

Sardis Park resident says taxation unfair Wow! Someone in Sardis Park got lucky in 2010 and sold his home for a lot more than it was worth. Did he do his neighbors a favour? Hell no! The sale was registered to the BC Assessment Office 20 miles down the road in Abbotsford. Here, in the assessment office are people who sit behind desks assessing homes by comparing such with houses with fairly much the same description (sites unseen). They then send out an assessment notice in January, stating, “If you have any questions about your 2011 property assessment please call

your assessment office,” which in actual fact I did and was told that my home had been assessed an additional $36,000 because a home of the same description had been sold for that amount (site unseen). In late May I received my 2011 Notice of Current Real Property Taxes, and lo and behold my taxes had increased by an excess of $220 from the previous year. I ventured down to City Hall to try to obtain some answers and I was told that it was the responsibility of the assessment office. But that is not quite true. You see, the assess-

ment office only assesses the property value (site unseen), but the City of Chilliwack fills in the tax amounts and rates. To make a long story short the City of Chilliwack property taxes were increased on an average of five per cent. However, we here in Sardis Park were increased by 12.5 per cent. This is quite hard on people that are living on fixed incomes e.g. government superannuations, Canada Pension and Old Age Security, as the federal government only increased the above by 1.4 per cent re the cost of living indexing.

What is wrong with this picture? Chilliwack found a way to collect the monies required to buy the houses on “Snob Hill” at a cost to the taxpayer of $18 million. Mayor Gaetz, I decided that when the information regarding the homes with a “Panoramic View”, came to light, it gave me 18 million reasons why I would definitely not put an “X” beside your name and the names of the members of your city council at the next election. Well now I have 18 million and one reasons why not to vote for you. Peter J. Lawn Sardis Park

after the injury. The board argued that Hussack’s father had a “smothering” relationship with his son prior to the injury, and Devon had missed so much schooling with his father’s consent that he likely would not have graduated, despite the injury. However, the appeal court found that Hussack’s lawyer had “proven on a balance of probabilities that the blow to the head (resulting from the defendant’s negligence) was indeed the trigger which set in motion the sequence of events leading to the development of Devon’s somatoform disorder.” While the father’s conduct was a “contributing cause,” the appeal court justices continued, it did not “relieve the (school) board of liability.” The school district also argued that the trial judge had failed to deduct “residual future income-earning capacity” in her award of damages, and had erred in her assessment of past wage loss. The appeal court agreed that given Hussack’s school record before the accident, there was a 25 per cent chance he would not graduate, so reduced the past wage loss award by $50,000 to $150,000 and the award for future earning capacity to $785,000 from $1 million.

Gardening doesn’t have to be a pain, with care wrists, lower back and legs can help prevent aches and pains. Ease into the gardening season: You wouldn’t go out and run a marathon after a winter of rest, so don’t expect to spend hours in the garden in the spring without paying for it the next day. Set reasonable goals for what you want to accomplish each day in the garden. After all, you still want to be able to garden tomorrow! Kneel, don’t bend over: Getting down on your knees in the dirt instead of bending over puts much less stress on your back and spine. Wear knee pads for added comfort, or kneel on a folded towel. If you must bend over, limit the time spent in this position. Take stretch breaks regularly. To stretch, stand up, place your hands

on your lower back and arch back slightly. Change positions often: Staying in one position for too long can lead to strain on certain muscles and

joints. Similarly, doing the same repetitive task for too long, such as shoveling or raking, can also cause soreness. To save your body, change positions

frequently. When raking, or doing similar tasks, switch hands regularly to balance the muscles in your body. Also, take frequent Continued: GARDENING/ p16

Fitness Conditioning helps keep your gardening pain-free someone to help you. When trimming, raking or digging, use your legs to move your body instead of bending and twisting at the waist. Finally, keep those welltrained abdominal muscles engaged to prevent back injuries. Be sun savvy: While the warm sun is a welcomed change from our long winter, too much sun can be harmful. To protect yourself, wear sun-

GARDENING from p15 breaks to give your muscles some rest. Use good form: Just like in the gym, form is important in the garden. To lift an object, bend at the knees in either a squat position, or by kneeling on one leg. Carry objects close to your body to avoid excess load on your lower back. If you need to tackle a heavy object, ask

screen and a wide brimmed hat. Also, be sure to drink enough water. Keep a water bottle filled with ice water beside you and take sips during your rest breaks. Cool down: Every day in the garden should begin with a warm up and end with a cool down. So, instead of putting your feet up right and admiring your work right away, take a few minutes to stretch. This spring, follow these

tips to prevent aches and pains in the garden. I wish you many wonderful hours spent perfecting your backyard haven.

move there, “it would have a delaying effect.” But Butcher said the larger concern ought to be the outcome of CUPW’s negotiations because it has been on the front line of union struggles that led to advances enjoyed by all Canadians, including Medicare and unemployment insurance. He said postal managers are asking for a rollback in pension benefits, replacement of 15 sick days per year with seven “personal” days and a two-tier wage system that would see new employees paid less than others doing the same job. Canada Post spokesmen say the negotiations are about the challenges faced by the corporation because of the impact of the Internet on revenues. The bargaining talks continue, but Butcher said postal workers “don’t want to back down.” rfreeman@theprogress.com

Neighbours

Joanne Huston: Getting it done I’m sure that most of you have heard it said that “if you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.” This certainly describes Joanne Huston perfectly. Joanne has always had a certain energy and drive, something that has helped her – and by extension has helped others. She has never been a person who enjoys just sitting around. She has to be active. While Joanne grew up in Lumby, a village nestled on the northern edge of the Okanagan, her family eventually moved to Vancouver. “While we lived in Lumby, dad worked as an accountant for a lumber company but work necessitated a move and so we headed out to the coast,” she said. She had an artistic flair and began working with watercolours at the age of 16. “My uncle was a professional artist who also used this same medium. This is something that I continue doing today, simply

for my enjoyment. I do it for fun and I do have a few of my paintings hanging on the walls,” she said with a smile. Although Joanne enjoyed school, she wasn’t an academic. “It’s kind of funny because later on in life my academic side came through,” she chuckled. She had dreamed of becoming a teacher but that never came to fruition. Instead, she went to work Ana for BC Tel right out of high school and MACEDO remained with the company for the next three years. She then married a teacher and a teaching position prompted a move to Victoria, where her aunt owned Point-no-Point resort. “I did have a strong connection to Victoria because my mom and my grandmother were both

born there,” she explained. She had two children, Bill and Catherine, and when they were 11 and 13 respectively, she went back to work. “I went to work for the Ministry of Health and was there for 17 years,” she said. While she lived there, Joanne became an active member of the Greater Victoria Library Board, something that she thoroughly enjoyed for six years. She became a charter member of the Royal Oak Rotary Club, worked with the Victoria Music Festival and for 27 years was a member of the Victoria Operatic Society. “My daughter auditioned for them when she was just eight years old and did a lot of their productions. Today, I’m an honourary member of the society,” she said proudly. Joanne ended up retiring early because her husband became gravely ill. He passed away in 1996 and Joanne moved to Chilliwack since her daughter was living here.

Joanne Huston has also become a committed volunteer with the Chilliwack Hospice society. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Moving from Victoria to Chilliwack was quite the adjustment, a challenge that she embraced. She quickly started a Widows Walk, to support others who were facing the same challenges that she was facing. She became an intake worker at the Salvation Army Food Bank,

something that she continues to do today. “I interview the clients that come in for assistance. We need to know their income level, they need to prove residency and those sorts of things,” she said. She’s also been a long-standing member of the Continued: ANA/ p22

Mel Nieva, who grew up in Chilliwack, is returning this summer to offer Glee Camp. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

‘Glee Camp’ comes to the old Arts Centre Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Mel Nieva is convinced that musical performance is all about confidence and being yourself. The 30-year-old singer and music instructor remembers the vocal lessons she took from the Chilliwack Academy of Music, the guitar lessons from Jeff Bowman, and the piano instruction from Pauline Harms. She grew up honing her musical chops in Chilliwack. These days she lives in East Van and is paying it all forward. She’s teaching music in West and North Vancouver, as well as F I N E

offering a Summer Rock Camp experience for girls in North Van. This summer she’s launching a Glee Camp from the old Arts Centre on Henderson. “The trend in recent years is toward rock camp,” she explains. “This year I had the idea of doing a glee camp. I found tons of my vocal students had been inspired by the hit TV show, Glee.” She wanted to bring a vocal camp experience to Chilliwack too, because she knows it has a thriving arts community. The Chilliwack Glee Camp will run July 25-29, for aspiring young musicians of all ages.

Nieva carefully picked the songs they’ll be doing. “We’ll be doing one musical theatre tune, one contemporary pop tune, and one mashup, or medley of pop tunes.” The plan is for her “gleeks” aged 11 and up, to do one hour of voice and one hour of dance daily, with a break in between. “Chilliwack has great resources, like Jeff Bonner of Tractorgrease Studios. I think it’s the best way to get young people inspired, to get them used to performance and being filmed.” Over the four days, they’ll practise singing with the ensemble, and singing with choreography,

but it’s more than just practising. It’s also about raising self-esteem in the performers, Nieva underlined. At the end of the camp, they’ll be recording with a live band behind them. Learning to feel comfortable on stage is part of the training. “It has to do with being confident while performing and being yourself,” she said. “I try to reiterate that and make it fun. I was always stressed out performing at the piano, so I want to make it fun for my kids.” She’s also into providing a platform for young dance teachers and choreographers.

“A lot of people gave me that opportunity, so I feel the need to do it as well.” It can be a transformative experience for young performers. “Just put a drum kit behind any kid and suddenly they’re a rock star. It gives them momentum, and you can see the realization dawning on their faces.” Chilliwack Glee Camp, July 25-29, 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at the old Arts Centre on Henderson. Registration deadline is Thursday, June 30. For details call Nieva 604-761-5669 or email melnieva@ gmail.com. G R E A T

Jamming live with other musicians is all part of the deal. R&B Camp 2011 kicks off Saturday morning at G.W. Graham middle-secondary school â&#x20AC;&#x201D; geared for music students from Grade 7 to Grade 12. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a chance for young musicians to learn what to do when theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing live R&B music with other musicians,â&#x20AC;? says Lori Paul of Spiderlodge Studio. Last year the one day event organized by Spiderlodge and G.W. Graham was dubbed Song Salon, culminating in a songwritersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; circle. But this year the focus is on workshops for individual instruments, with a free afternoon concert open to the public. The instrumental workshops get underway at 11 a.m., and the live concert/jam on stage in the G.W. Graham theatre starts at 1 p.m. Registration at G.W. Graham office. Workshops will range from guitar (bring guitar and small amp), lead vocals, horn players (bring instruments), keyboards and background vocalists. R&B Camp at G.W. Graham, Sat. June 11, $30, includes lunch and a t-shirt. For more info contact Lori Paul at lori@loripaul.com or Janine Webster at 604-847-0772.

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Douglas tackles the Calgary Stampede Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Lincoln Douglas struggles mightily when asked to name anything that matches the thrill of chuckwagon racing. The feeling of four thoroughbred horses pulling the wagon at 35 kilometres an hour down a straightaway. The uneasy feeling taking the banked corners that have been the downfall of so many racers. The adrenaline rush as three wagons speed side-by-side towards the finish line, their wheels separated by mere inches. The horses so close you feel you can almost reach out and touch them. Few people have done this. Few people would have the intestinal fortitude to do this. Douglas is one of the rare breed, a courageous sort who faces the fear and tackles the challenge head on. And now, he’ll be doing it on the biggest stage possible, heading to Cowtown July 8-17 for the world renowned Calgary Stampede. “This’ll be my fourth year racing for the WPCA (World Professional Chuckwagon Association), but my first time going to Calgary,” the 50-year-old said. “This is the biggie. The one everyone wants to get to and I can’t wait to get there. I’ve got lots of people coming from Chilliwack to support me.” Douglas, the chief of the Cheam band, raced ponies for 17 years prior to getting into chuckwagon racing. He got into it because he wanted something more challenging, and from the very start he knew he’d hit the mark. “It was a little bit different because there’s

so much more horse to deal with,” he said. “You don’t know whether to hold on or let them go. It was quite a thrill, that’s for sure.” Before each race, four thoroughbred horses are hitched up to the chuckwagon, a process that takes three and ideally four people to complete. The wagon itself has to be more than 11 feet long with a wheel-towheel width of about six feet. With solid-wood construction, the wagon Douglas uses weighs 1125 pounds. The wagon he used in pony racing topped out around 500 pounds. “So it’s quite a rumble as these things go

around the track, and sometimes you feel like you’re going to lose things going around a corner,” he said. “You see your life flash before your eyes some days, especially if you drop a line or it gets tangled up in the gear.” Bullriding is generally regarded as the most hazardous rodeo sport, with good reason. But chuckwagon racing is right there. Douglas rolled a wagon years ago with the ponies, but he’s never been involved in a serious chuckwagon crash. One of his friends rolled wagons a couple times, wrecking a shoulder in the process. “You can’t think about

it and most of us are pretty good at avoiding accidents, and it’s not just our own personal safety we worry about,” he said. “We love our animals and we don’t want to see them hurt. I enjoy what they give me and the best part of this for me often is just taking care of them in the morning. I try to work with them every day if I can.” You will likely know when Douglas leaves for Calgary, because his caravan is nearly impossible to miss. “I’ve got a ‘96 Peterbilt pulling a 53 foot van with 18 horses inside,” he said. “I’ve got a stock trailer for the feed and gear and I’ve got a holiday trailer that we load

the wagon into.” Chuckwagon racing isn’t a lucrative pursuit. Douglas finished 22nd on the WPCA circuit this year, making $40,000 and covering a lot of expenses out of pocket. Calgary is one of those rare big-ticket events where he could win a big chunk of change. Wagons at the Stampede have ads on their canvas, sold at auction. Douglas’s canvas fetched $70,000. The Calgar y Stampede keeps 20 per cent, leaving him with approximately $56,000. Even if he ran dead last every day during the Stampede, he’d

collect another $20,000. “This year I’ll still only cover my costs because I’ve got to pay the guys who help me on the road and the guys who help me during the races,” Douglas said. “You’ve got your feed bills, fuel bills, vet bills and shoeing bills. It all adds up.” Douglas barely qualified for Calgary, sneaking in just under the cut-off. “Finishing 22nd on the WPCA, I was right on the bubble as far as being one of the 36 who make it,” he said. “I didn’t know until the last event in Edmonton (Labour Day) that I’d made it, and even then I thought I might have missed it.”

Now that he’s in, he’s hoping to make a lasting impression. The trip will be all business, with most of his time spent tending to the horses and the public relations demands of Stampede competitors. Douglas is a realist and doesn’t suspect he’s going to win the Stampede title. But when the horn sounds, he thinks he can make some noise. “There’s some pretty competitive guys out there and only being in my fourth year on tour I’m still building my team,” he said. “But if I can finish in the middle of the pack, I think I’d be happy with that.”

Natural disasters. Peace-of-mind protection. With natural disasters such as earthquakes and tsunamis devastating cities around the globe, it’s becoming more and more important that we understand the risks and take precautions. In B.C., its almost forest fire season - and we have seen firsthand the devastation these can cause to our belongings and homes. While it’s impossible to prevent a natural disaster, the guarantee of peaceof-mind protection HOME should be expected INSURANCE from an insurance WITH company. How DONNA will your insurance WYANT company respond if disaster strikes? There are some fundamental things your insurance company should do:

Help to get you back on track. Depending on the extent of damage, you may need a team of tradespeople to help you restore your home. Though your insurance company may approve a certain amount of funds for restoration, you should still have the option to quote with a contractor of your choice. Or, if you prefer, your insurance company should provide the names of skilled professionals. The benefit of working with a local insurance company is that they will be able to give you qualified recommendations in your area.

INSURANCE OUTLOOK

Assist with the emergency. In the event of a natural disaster, you should be able to contact your insurance company any time day or night. Once coverage is confirmed, they should assist by calling in professionals to help and arrange for items like humidifiers, or tarp for your roof, to help reduce further damage. Explain coverage details. Once an adjuster has spoken to you, or viewed your loss, your insurance company should explain to you what is and isn’t covered under the policy. They should also discuss repair or replacement of your contents to help you decide how to move forward with your claim. If a natural disaster renders your home uninhabitable and coverage allows, your insurance company should also provide options for alternate accommodations until it can be restored.

Keep you informed. You shouldn’t be kept guessing. From beginning to end, your insurance company should keep you updated on progress and possible delays so that you have the confidence of knowing when your home will return to normal.

Local golfer Scott Gibson has qualified for the B.C. Junior Golf Championship, that will take place July 5-8 in Rossland. The 17-year-old earned his spot by placing 19th out of 60 golfers on the zonethree Spring Tour, which happened on six local courses. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

There’s no way to predict when a natural disaster will occur, but if you understand the risks and take precautions, you can benefit from the peace-of-mind protection of your insurance company to alleviate the stress of a claim. Contact BCAA to learn more about BCAA Home Insurance and the kind of coverage and service you can expect should loss or damage occur to your home.

Valley Shidokan shines Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Valley Shidokan hosted the 2011 Japanese Karate Association-B.C. Tournament at Vedder middle school this past weekend. Participants from JKA dojos across the province competed in traditional kata, kumite and team kata events. Students competed in a very traditional format which focused strongly on correct technique and form. Judging some of the events was Hirayama Sensei, sixth Dan, visiting from JKA headquarters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She seemed very pleased with the tournament and the quality of the traditional karate here in B.C.,â&#x20AC;? said

Kai Stackhouse took top spot in kata in the nineand-under boys intermediate group, with Jack Robertson grabbing the kumite title. Lara Winkless finished first in kata and kumite in the 12-andunder girls intermediate-advanced division. Nik Charlton (kata)
