Vedder Mountain residents claiming gravel win

■ R IVER C LEAN U P

Robert Freeman The Progress The Vedder Mountain Preservation Group is claiming a victory for the public after a proposal to build a conveyor to haul gravel down the mountainside was withdrawn this week by the gravel pit owner. “I think the citizens realize there is an opportunity to voice their concerns, and maybe a responsibility to do that,” said Victor Froese, spokesman for the group. But leaving the monitoring of gravel operations to citizens is “not terribly reasonable,” Froese added, pointing to the “lack of transparency” and “lack of monitoring at all levels” the group discovered in its opposition to the proposal. The group filed numerous freedom of information requests, which resulted in the discovery of permit violations that led to a temporary stop work order in January for over-mining. Pit owner Bryan Kirkness told The Progress Tuesday that he saw “no end in sight” to the government red tape, and the resulting spiraling costs, so he decided to withdraw his application to the B.C. Mines Ministry and the Integrated Land Management Branch. He also said a letter from the City of Chilliwack to the ministry led him to believe there was “no way” the project would ever get the zoning changes it required. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz said after the city was “accused” by the citizens’ group of sending the ministry inaccurate and incomplete information that could lead to approval of the project, a second “clarifying” letter was sent.

RCMP officers ‘risked their own lives’ evacuating burning apartment Robert Freeman The Progress An early morning fire that forced the evacuation of a threestorey apartment building in Chilliwack Wednesday is being treated as “suspicious” by police and fire officials. The fire started on a secondfloor balcony of the McIntosh Manor at about 4:37 a.m. and the flames spread up to the thirdfloor balcony, but firefighters quickly knocked down the blaze before any major damage was

done, said Assistant Fire Chief Ian Josephson. However, smoke got inside the building and set off the fire alarm which caused tenants to start evacuation, he said. Two RCMP officers arriving at the scene heard an explosion, and started helping tenants evacuate the building. Sgt. Glen Carrier and Const. Pierre Boivin carried one 67-yearold woman, who had recently been released from hospital for hip surgery, down three flights of stairs.

“These two members went above and beyond the call of duty,” Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said. “They risked their own lives by running into a burning building to save the residents of this building to ensure everyone got out safely.” Carrier and Boivin were treated on scene for smoke inhalation, and taken to Chilliwack General Hospital for observation. Three other RCMP officers, who had knocked on doors and helped others to evacuate, were also treated on scene for smoke

inhalation. Three tenants were also taken to hospital and treated for smoke inhalation, and all were later released. Chilliwack firefighters were also praised for their “timely and effective response” to the blaze. “Having suffered through two acts of arson in this city in as many years, (it) really puts me on edge any time I hear an alarm bell ringing,” said Bergeil DeBungie, a resident at McIntosh Manor.

District returns spring break to one week Katie Bartel The Progress Enjoy your two weeks reprieve from school kids, because next year it’s back to one. At Tuesday night’s board of education meeting, trustees unanimously voted to revert spring break back to one week. For now. The reasons behind this year’s two-week break were the result

of budgetary issues. Last year the school district was facing a $5 million budget shortfall and needed to come up with cost-saving measures. An added week of spring break saved the district an estimated $300,000 to $400,000. But it was never intended to be permanent. “When we went to the extra week, we said it was a one-time phenomena because of the financial situation,” said superintendent

Corinne McCabe. “It was never intended to be a long-term change.” Every year boards of education are required to approve a new school calendar. Whether they go with the standard calendar, which includes a one-week spring break, or an alternate calendar is the board’s decision. And while the trustees unanimously voted to go back to a oneweek spring break, some were in favour of again bringing about an

extended spring break at a later date. Trustee Heather Maahs would like to see spring break bookended onto the Easter long weekend to give staff and students a bit longer of a break without staff having to lose pay and parents having to struggle for daycare. (Some CUPE members lost a week’s pay with the extended spring break.) Trustees Silvia Dyck and Louise Piper both expressed interest in

implementing a balanced calendar, which would involve shortening summer break as a way of extending spring break. “There’s a ton of research that speaks to summer being too long for at-risk students,” said Piper. “If we’re going to look at the calendar, let’s look at the whole calendar ... I think we need a broader scope beyond spring break.” This year’s spring break is from March 14 to March 25. kbartel@theprogress.com

Rosedale late, Yarrow on schedule Katie Bartel The Progress Two of the three new schools to be built in Chilliwack will be up and ready to go by January next year. However, for one of those schools, that January move date is later than planned. Yarrow elementary students will move on-time into their new school come January. Rosedale students, however, will be a few months off schedule when all students take occupation in January. The new Rosedale kinder-

garten to Grade 9 school was expected to open in September this year. But because of construction delays, due to the amount of dirt required on the site, steel delivery delays and weather issues, the first group of kids won’t be moving in until November – two months after they were scheduled to. “We had a couple of problems at Rosedale,” said superintendent Corinne McCabe. “They had hoped to be done [construction] by mid-July, but now it looks like the first of October. So rather than take any chances, we’re going to move in on the four-day

Remembrance Day weekend.” Students will be moved into the new building in two stages. While the middle school students will start classes in the new school on Nov. 14, the elementary school won’t move in until Jan. 3, 2012 after the old school has been demolished. “We felt if we were going to make a move in the middle of the school year, we might as well wait until the demolition was essentially done,” said McCabe. “And it gives us more time to move the elementary kids over as it’s a longer move from

the elementary school, and it gives the older kids a chance to get to know the building and be hosts when the little kids move over.” Chilliwack secondar y school, the third school to be built, will start construction in May and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2013. • An open house is being held at the current Rosedale middle school on March 29 at 7 p.m. to review the building’s progress and discuss issues related to establishing the community school. kbartel@theprogress.com

Community Services will soon be changing hands. After 12 years at the helm, Dale Cuthbertson handed in his resignation as executive director of Chilliwack Community Services, said CCS board chair Alex McAulay. Cuthbertson recently notified the board of his intention to retire effective March 31, after more than three decades in the community social services sector. “It was a bit of a shock,” McAulay said. “I don’t think it was expected at all.” During Cuthbertson’s reign, the number of programs and services offered by Community Services “doubled,” which was no small feat on its own, he said. What made it particularly challenging and noteworthy was maintaining a “culture of caring” when people walked through the doors, during that period of sustained growth. “That’s a remarkable achievement, and we will forever be indebted to him for his service,” he said. “He did it by putting the right people in place and providing the right leadership.” Numerous initiatives he spearheaded or joined were geared to enhancing Chilliwack’s quality of life. “Dale has guided the organization through numerous shifts in political and funding directions, and most recently led the partnership to create the Olympic Legacy affordable housing project on School Street,” said McCaulay. Other projects include establishing a presence with the Sardis building, and the development of the Mary Street location for multicultural programs and more. It’s not clear when the ED position will be posted to find a replacement. “But we do have a process in place and everything will happen in fairly short order,” he said. Suzanne Cameron will be filling in as executive director in an interim capacity. jfeinberg@theprogress.com

“It clarified that our position hadn’t changed, but it added details,” Gaetz said, including land-use restrictions in the geologically sensitive area. In a terse, three-paragraph news release, Kirkness maintained the project would have reduced carbon emissions, reduced traffic on the Columbia Valley Highway and “injected several million dollars into the local economy.” He also told The Progress that Cultus Lake residents, who would have benefitted from the reduction in truck traffic, never sent any letters supporting the project. But from the start, Vedder Mountain Road residents vigorously opposed the proposed conveyor and “loadout site” at the foot of the mountain, saying it posed traffic and environmental hazards. Froese said “much can be done” now to improve the approval process, including making it more transparent so it doesn’t take freedom of information requests for citizens to find out the facts. He also called for more monitoring of gravel operations, by both the provincial and local governments. “Leaving it to citizens, that’s not really terribly reasonable,” he said. “We think Mr. Kirkness has acted responsibly in listening to the concerns,” he added, (but) “we will continue to monitor whatever else is proposed in the future. We’re not disbanding or anything.” rfreeman@theprogress.com

Promontory presents challenges, says assistant fire chief The Progress A house fire on Goldspring Place in Promontory Heights on Monday was a fast-moving blaze, but building another firehall to serve the hillside area wouldn’t likely affect response times, a fire official said. “It’s challenging, there’s no doubt,” Assistant Fire Chief Ian Josephson said about heavy fire engines climbing the steep hills to reach fire scenes. “But even if you had a firehall in the Promontory area, you’d still have the challenge of (paid-on-call) firefighters coming from work,” he said. The firefighters responding to the Goldspring fire call, who had to scramble from their jobs and get to the firehall on South Sumas Road in Sardis, still managed to reach the Goldspring fire scene in 14 minutes. The acceptable response time is 8-15 minutes, Josephson said. Area resident Tammy Bouwman said she was barely out her door

when she saw firefighters closing off the road, and setting up to battle the blaze. “They were obviously on top of things,” she said. Josephson said a two-man fire crew happened to be in the area when the Goldspring fire call came in, and they were on the scene in four minutes. But with only two firefighters, there’s not much they can do because of safety regulations except prepare the scene for the arrival of a full crew. He said the fire was fast-moving “mainly due to the amount of combustibles in the garage” where it started. A fibreglass boat inside the garage also ignited, adding to the conflagration. Josephson said one occupant of the house was treated for smoke inhalation, but he did not suffer a heart attack, as earlier reported. “He’s doing very well now,” Josephson said. The fire is considered accidental. rfreeman@theprogress.co

R AESIDE

A doubtful premise It’s round two for the federal Conservatives’ goal of getting tough on pot growers. After having the Senate gut an earlier attempt at setting minimum sentences for growing marijuana, the Harper government will now try to push through Bill S-10, which features a mandatory six-month jail term for growing six pot plants. The Liberals, meanwhile, vow to block the bill, which critics say is heading in the opposite direction Canada has taken on the issue of marijuana over the past several years. There’s truth in that, particularly when viewed from the perspective of the Crown and courts, which have respectively been reluctant to aggressively pursue charges against growers, or upon conviction, hand down stiff sentences. There is also an element of public opposition to bringing down a larger hammer on marijuana cultivation, particularly on small amounts. Critics point across the border, where tougher marijuana sentences have filled jails, but done little to stem the green wave, or the demand for the product. Considerable doubt surrounds the premise that a minimum sentence for growing pot will dissuade the gangs which make billions from the industry in Canada. When there is that much profit to be gained – and tougher laws may actually increase the value of the drug – there will be a willingness to take the risks to reap the massive rewards. Far more effective in reducing the number of grow-ops in this and other cities is the initiative based on safety inspections of suspected homes. Using that tactic, along with law enforcement efforts, several cities have seen a dramatic drop in the number of grows over the past several years. Purely from a public cost perspective, it’s a far cheaper remedy than building and filling more prisons. Black Press

O THER V OICES

What role does language play in our views on disabilities? I have spent most of my adult life getting to know, working with, and supporting people with disabilities. Some of the people I have worked with face the challenge of an intellectual disability, some the challenge of a physical disability and some the challenge of a metal illness. Many face all three. In every case, no matter the size or type of challenge, they are first and foremost, people. While instructing a college program in “community support work”, I recall a student describing the people they supported during their practicum in the following way “It’s a really hard placement because I have three “wheelchairs”, two “Down’s” and two “behaviors”…” In the student’s mind person was gone, the disability remained. Is language important in the way we talk about each other? I said to the students “I have a disabled car – tell me about my car” they all replied, in various ways, that the car wouldn’t function as a car. It was broken. When I said, “I have a car with a disability – tell me about my car”.

ContactUs:

The Chilliwack

Progress

They responded by saying things about the car that might not function as well as they could, such as “the headlights don’t work” or “the wipers don’t work”. Essentially, they saw the car function as a car, perhaps not the most comfortable ride or without all the features of a luxury auto, but able to get from point “a” to point “b”. So is saying “disabled person” a different meaning than “person with a disability”? Yes, clearly Clint one is accurate and one is not. Saying, “I HAMES support two Down’s and one wheelchair” would certainly provide a different impression than saying “I support two children. One has Down’s syndrome and one uses a wheelchair for mobility.” However, we rarely challenge this misspeak at the risk of being called slaves to political correctness. Additionally, we often read that a

person “suffers with” a disability. It appears to be standard journalism to suggest such things. The people with disabilities I know certainly face challenges to their lives that are different than mine, however, the people I know don’t “suffer” from a disability. Typically their suffering comes from our response. Many suffer poverty because of their label, not their disability. While ready, willing and able to work, the opportunity never happens. Many suffer loneliness because they are seen as different and are not included in our lives. Many suffer exploitation because they do not have the same support networks that we have. Many suffer from illness because they don’t have the same level of access to medical services. When services are planned, neighborhoods rise up in anger over their location. Some are deemed to be suffering, simply because they have no way to tell us how they feel. “Confined to a wheelchair” is perhaps even more common. The people I know who use a wheelchair,

or motorized chair, use the chair to make their lives better, to provide mobility. Without the chair, they would certainly be more dependant and, perhaps, confined to a location. I do not believe that Rick Hanson would describe his life in any way as “confined”. When I first started supporting people with disabilities in 1976, I was told that the average life expectancy of a person with Down’s Syndrome was 17 to 21 years. By 1985 it was understood that a person with Down’s Syndrome could expect a long and happy life, not dissimilar to a person without. What changed? Medical technology didn’t improve, our attitudes did. In the 1950’s and 60’s, medical intervention for people with disabilities was often seen as prolonging the suffering. As institutions closed and people with disabilities became more present in our communities we slowly began to see people as having value. The “Community Living” advocacy movement taught us not to assume that because a person lived with the challenge of a dis-

ability, medical intervention wasn’t necessary or appropriate. Unfortunately, most media and even many professionals in the field still refer to people with disabilities as disabled people who “suffer from” a disability. The term “confined to a wheelchair” is commonplace. I felt compelled to write this after reading that Robert Latimer, the Saskatchewan farmer who killed his daughter believing that she “suffered from” her disability, was now free from jail after serving 9 of his 10 year sentence. I want to say, up front, that I recognize the difficult and challenging moral dilemma presented by this case. There are those who can skillfully argue either side of the euthanasia debate. Equally, there are conflicting testimonies as to the quality of Tracy Latimer’s life. I wonder what role the constant reference to “suffered from…” or “confined to…” in our language, when talking about people with disabilities, played in there being any question at all that this was simply a murder of a young girl.

Grateful for rapid response I just want to express my gratitude and praise to the Chilliwack Fire Department for their timely and effective response to the fire on McIntosh.

Having suffered through two acts of arson in this city in as many years really puts me on edge any time I hear an alarm bell ringing though. I at least have the comfort

Student advice for active learning Active learning is a lot more attractive that passive learning. Nearly everyday most students go through a passive style of learning at my school. They wake up go to school for 6 hours and typically sit behind a desk and listen to the teacher present information for the entire class. What kind of learning environment is that? Most students my age need some active learning. The school district needs to change the learning environment so that students are excited and want to learn. To improve the learning environment within the classroom, the district and the teachers could do a number of things. The learning

environment needs to be fun and energetic. In order to do that it is best to vary the teaching format more frequently so that there is variety of learning to help engage the students. Personally I learn more when upbeat stuff is done within the classroom. Instead of sitting in our desks listening to the teacher all class, why don’t we get some discussion and debates going on? Also, if we were able to get up out of our desks and do some hands on learning within the school or outside the school, learning will become more interesting for students because they won’t be able to predict how each class is going to go.

The school district and the Ministry of Education could make a number of changes to enhance the learning environment of our school. With classes of thirty or more, it is difficult to have good learning environment and engagement from the students. Consideration should be given to having more guest speakers from the community and professionals that could take about their work and employment. Perhaps also one could consider partnering with businesses or nonprofits to have students do community work or job shadowing days. The learning environment at our public schools can always be improved. Although

most teachers give a tremendous effort in teaching students, they could have a much greater impact by varying up the learning environment in more of an active way. For instance, have less sitting and more hands on projects should improve students desire to engage on the topics and retain the information needed. Further more, the school districts should move to smaller classroom sizes which would allow for more one on one learning. Learning is very dynamic and students learn better when the learning environment is varied and kept interesting.

I’ve lived in Chilliwack for 12 years. Every year city taxes have increased. B.C. experienced some of our most prosperous times ever during this period, but our city council failed to budget or save for economic hard times like we are experiencing today. This is the year that city council must approve a zero per cent tax increase.

Effort needed to Freeze city keep rivers clean taxes My name is Landon Gill, I am 16 and I am an avid fisherman. This past winter I have fished a lot on the Vedder River. The reason I am writing this letter is because I find it revolting how much garbage and discarded fishing tackle is left on the river banks and trails. Our river should not be treated this way for it is home to many species of fish and wildlife. For example, I once had to watch a heron slowly drown to death because it was tangled in old fishing line. I’m sure this is not the only case of wildlife dieing from

Eagle Landing takes wing as more tenants move in Robert Freeman The Progress Five Guys Burgers and Fries, a U.S.-based “burger joint” chain with locations in 40 States and four Canadian provinces, will be opening an outlet at the Eagle Landing in Chilliwack. It’s just one of a long list of restaurants, retailers and service providers that have signed leases at the “super centre” anchored by one of the largest Walmart stores in B.C., a Cineplex multi-theatre and, soon, a Home Depot store. And these businesses don’t open new locations without doing careful market studies first, which means Chilliwack is on the retail map, said David Coon, executive vice-president of the Property Development Group, joint partner with the Squiala First Nation in the Eagle Landing project. “No one can look at Chilliwack any longer as being a secondary

country market,” he said. “We’re very happy with the success of the leasing up to date.” About eight retailers have confirmed they’ll be opening locations in the shopping area between the Walmart

and Cineplex, including Dollar Giant, Star Hair Studio, Subway, Salad Loop, Great Clips, Kuro Sushi - and “a couple more” Coon couldn’t name because negotiations haven’t closed. But he said construc-

tion of two more buildings gets underway next week, with public openings slated for early November. One of the buildings, an 11,000 squarefoot structure near the Galaxy Cinema, will

hold an Original Joes Restaurant & Bar, a Wok Box, and Starbucks - following a movies-and-ameal theme. A smaller, 7,000 square-foot building, will hold a locally-operated liquor store, a Telus out-

Sharp eye nets arrest Chilliwack RCMP say a sharp-eyed officer on patrol followed his instincts, which led to the arrest Monday of six young people in a car reportedly stolen from Abbotsford. The officer noticed the young driver of a black Chevrolet pickup truck in the Evans Park Way area at about 2:20 a.m. was avoiding eye contact, so he began to follow. When the pickup pulled into a farmer’s field to lose the officer, a police dog team was called in, and the six youth were located inside the pickup. The six youth included four females ranging in age from 13 to 18, and two 15-year-old males. All were arrested and taken to the Chilliwack RCMP detachment. The four females were released to their parents. The 15-year-old driver is facing several drivingrelated charges, and also for breaching probation conditions. The second male in the vehicle was a missing person reported from the Mission RCMP detachment, and is also facing charges for breach of probation.

New RCMP project eyes ‘problem areas’ of Chilliwack Robert Freeman The Progress

604-792-1313 # 6 - 4 5 7 8 7 Ya l e R o a d 2-11T LO15

Several firearms and drugs were seized by police at a First Avenue home in Chilliwack last Friday as a result of an ongoing investigation. But RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth declined to comment on whether the seizure is related to a two-month long project by the Chilliwack

RCMP’s crime reduction unit and general duty officers “targeting problem areas within the community.” But in a news release the Chilliwack RCMP asks for public help making the project a success by reporting any suspicious activity. “The public are the eyes and ears of this community, and we can’t do it without you,” Staff Sgt. Marty Blais said in

the release. “We need to take back our streets, and require the public’s assistance to be successful.” A 20-year-old male, Christopher Pappas, of Chilliwack, and a 29-year-old female were arrested at the First Avenue home located in the 46400-block. The two suspects are known to police. Police said Pappas was

arrested on an outstanding warrant for a driving infraction. Three firearms, ammunition and some stolen property were seized, and a police investigation continues. To report suspicious activity, call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. rfreeman@theprogress.com

Missing boater found entangled in old fishing net A boater missing on the Fraser River was rescued later the same day by the Chilliwack Search And Rescue Team and the RCMP after being found entangled in his own fishing net. “The boater was uninjured, but was very cold and wet,” Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said. The Mission man was reported missing by his family at about 7:35 p.m. last Thursday after he failed to return to a meeting point west of Old Orchard Road, where he had launched

the small aluminum boat at about 4:30 p.m. Police said the boater had fishing gear and clothing designed for cold weather, however, he did not have oars, a cell phone or other survival equipment. The Chilliwack SAR team was called, as well as the RCMP helicopter Air 1, because of the growing darkness and low visibility. The helicopter located the boat about two kilometres west of the Old Orchard boat launch, and about 40 feet from shore. The SAR team took the boater to a waiting ambulance where he was treated for cold weather exposure, and released to relieved family members. “RCMP members at the scene were able to determine the boat motor had got stuck in an old fishing net, which immobilized the boat,” Hollingsworth said.

Arab revolts drive pain at the pumps

Black Press Average gas prices in Metro Vancouver climbed above $1.30 per litre this week amid growing concerns about the potential disruption of crude oil supplies as a result of the Middle East crisis. In Chilliwack, they hovered around $1.15 per litre. The pump price is now about 10

News cents higher than it was a month ago and at the highest level since mid-2008. Crude oil prices have shot up to well over $100 a barrel in anticipation the threat of revolution or civil war may spread to more countries as protesters try to topple Arab dictators. Energy consultant Michael Ervin said retail gas prices could well climb higher this spring, typically the peak

driving season when higher demand tends to lift prices. That would certainly happen if oil prices also rise further, but could happen even if they stabilize close to current levels. The highest price Metro Vancouverites have ever paid for gas was $1.50 per litre in July of 2008. Crude oil peaked at US $147 per barrel that same month.

Up to a million barrels of daily oil production is shut down in Libya. Libyan oil typically goes to Europe, but buyers there will look elsewhere, driving up demand and prices on other sources. Oil traders are also pricing in the possibility the pro-democracy revolutions may spread and cripple production at other oil-producing countries.

“It does look suspicious,” Josephson said about the fire. “We’re working on that angle.” He said a propane tank on the balcony did explode, but “that could be just due to the fire” rather than its cause. Hollingsworth said an investigation by the detachment’s serious crime unit is underway. Anyone with information is asked to call the RCMP at 604792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

the first notes of the love theme from the movie Titanic float across the warm evening air, “just back from visitin’ sister Celine in Las Vegas, it’s Oscar Dion.” A tall fellow with nut-brown skin, curly grey hair and a slight lean that suggests he’s enjoyed a glass of rum or three lurches for the microphone and begins a fantastically screeching rendition of “My Heart Will Go On.” The crowd hoots and claps. The music builds and Oscar reaches—unsuccessfully—for the high notes. A six-year-old girl with cornrow braids sitting beside me at one of the market’s long white picnic tables sticks her fingers in her ears. For a fun night of hanging with the locals, nothing beats Friday or Saturday at Oistins (pronounced “Oye-stins”) seaside fish market in the parish of Christ Church on the south coast of this eastern Caribbean island. By day, Oistins is a bustling harbour and market where local fishermen unload their

catches and sit in the shade repairing their nets. On weekend nights the market is transformed into the island’s best down-home party scene. Locals and tourists come together (the split is about 80/20) to enjoy heaping plates of traditional Bajan fare prepared at beachside stalls, to drink, to shop for household goods and local crafts, and to dance. And dance we do, to a mix of soca (a blend of soul and calypso), reggae, country and popular music. When our stomachs grumble, we wander through rows of stalls selling flying fish, tuna, marlin, chicken, macaroni pie, potatoes, creole breadfruit, peas and rice. We spy eight people waiting to order at Mo’s Grill & Bajan Cooking—a sign that this stand is a good bet—and so join the line. Mo (Maureen) is working the grill and we chat as she dips fish and potatoes in an olive oil, garlic and ginger marinade, and puts them

on the cooking surface. “Been cooking here eight years,” she tells me. “No better place.” Over the course of the night a steady stream of the good, the bad and the ugly of amateur singers (local and tourists) entertain us. Just before the karaoke machine is turned off and the dance music turned up, the DJ introduces one last singer, Kunta Kinte. If the name sounds familiar, Kinte was the lead character in Arthur Hailey’s epic novel and television series from the 1970s, Roots. The singer does an impressive job of handling both the Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers parts of the duet “Islands in the Stream.” When he belts out the line about feeling no pain, the crowd cheers. I get the distinct impression he’s not the only one. Explore More:

Home&Garden

Time to think strawberries It’s hard to imagine a June garden without the mouth-watering flavour of strawberries, and the good news is, planted now, both the ‘everbearing’ and ‘day neutral’ varieties will produce fruit this year. For serious strawberry growers, however, the ‘June bearing’ varieties still produce high volumes of very large flavourful fruit. Traditionally, main season strawberry varieties, planted now, will develop into good sized plants over the summer and fall, then produce great crops next year. You will get a few fruits the first year, but they’re just a tease for the next season. The flower buds of June berries are initiated in the shorter days of autumn, then produce good crops the following June. Some of the great ‘June bearing’ varieties for our area are: Hood: This variety has very large dark red cone-shaped berries on upright vigorous plants. It has great flavour and is terrific fresh and for jams. Rainier: The good sized berries of this variety maintain their size all through the season and have great flavour. Sumas: This very heavy yielding variety has lighter red berries and very good flavour. Totem: This very hardy variety, developed at the Canada Research Station in Agassiz, is still a favourite for productivity and good sized fruit. Stolo: Newer variety with large, firm, glossy fruits which keep their size throughout the season Puget Reliance: The beauty of this variety is its generous crops of very large fruits and its reliability to produce in a wide range of growing conditions. Chandler: A huge California variety with outstanding flavour, it does very well on the West Coast.

‘Everbearing’ varieties have the unique ability to initiate fruit buds during both short and long days, providing more continuous crops. The ‘day neutral’ varieties will produce fruit under all day lengths and are perhaps the most Brian productive, MINTER providing tasty berries all summer and into the fall. Another distinct advantage of the ‘everbearing’ types is that they can flower and produce fruit and runners all at the same time. The runners will produce fruit even without rooting, and this unique ability makes them ideal for growing in containers, hanging baskets and other unusual garden situations. They will also provide good quality fruit the first year. Some of the top ‘everbearing’ varieties are: Fort Laramie: This variety is noted for its vast runner production and is often sold as a ‘climbing’ variety. It has good sized, very flavourful fruit. Quinault: Still one of

the best ‘everbearing’ varieties, it has good sized, very flavourful fruit. Some of the top ‘day neutral’ varieties are: Tristar: This variety is still one of the most popular ‘day neutrals’. It has medium sized flavourful berries and is very disease tolerant. Seascape: This is a new introduction with high quality and flavourful fruits that are red all the way through. For the best results, all strawberries need a sunny location and good drainage. Growing them in raised beds or hilled rows creates not only good drainage but also warmer soil. They love moisture, but it must drain away quickly to prevent root rot. Although slightly acid-loving, working well rotted manures into the soil will help get strawberry plants off to a good start. When setting out the plants, it is very important to plant them to a depth that just covers the roots but not the stem. Planting strawberries too shallow or too deep can cause them to dry out or to rot. A good liquid starter, like Transplanter 5-15-5, used as a side dressing, will help get them off to a good start. Once

flowers set, use a fertilizer like 10-15-19 with micronutrients to really size up the berries. If we get a dry spell during the ripening stage, and this applies to the ‘everbearing’ and the ‘dayneutrals’, make sure you water thoroughly and deeply to keep the plants growing and to maintain their sweetness. Strawberries taste great, and they also do lots of other terrific things for us. The Salk Institute for Biological Studies in their research on strawberries, discovered that a strawberry flavonoid, called fisetin, can stimulate signalling pathways in the brain, thus enhancing long term memory. Strawberries also lower systolic blood pressure and can reduce the risk of heart disease. This berry is also high in folate that can help lower the risk factors in heart disease. Strawberries are also loaded with vitamins C and K, contain calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium and are an excellent source of anti-oxidants. March is a great time to begin planting, so find a spot in your garden and enjoy some wonderful flavour this year and for years to come.

Sold Doubt wraps dance series Movie magic moves to the Cottonwood 4 Are you ready for pure visceral physicality? ‘SOLD DOUBT’ is a contemporar y dance show set to rock music that will blow audiences away March 26 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. The performance will straddle the line between art and entertainment, challenging our deepest held definitions of each, says MOVE artistic director Josh Beamish. “Audiences are invited to laugh at our collective addiction to the pop culture machine, as dance, theatre and instrumental renditions of popular songs come together to present an unorthodox physical parody,” he says. Incorporating some iconic rock music from the band, No Doubt, it explores society’s adulation of the pop-culture idols, which are created and later disposed of post15 minutes of fame. The bold work juxtaposes “the power of the fans” against the power of “the suits” in a metaphoric blur of seemingly unrelated items. Perfume ads, photo shoots, product placements, and dance, all come together to reveal a tale of just a girl, her band, and a shopping cart full of oranges. The mastermind is Beamish, the founder of MOVE: the company. He’s an accomplished dancer who brings pure visceral physicality to his performance, and incorporates the traditional and the contemporar y with an expertise that is truly impressive. It’s the final offering in the Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society’s Dance Series, and tickets are at the Centre Box Office at 604.391.SHOW or www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Cinephiles have been enjoying the Spring Film Series at a brand-new venue this year on Luckakuck Way. Cottonwood 4 Cinemas is the new location for the popular local film festival, said Edna Covey of the Chilliwack Community Arts Council. “This is the 11th year of the Film Series, and we’re really pleased with its success. We get so many people coming back year after year, as well as first-timers,” she said. The films are chosen twice

a year from the Toronto International Film Festival Circuit. All film screenings are $5 and start at 7 p.m. Here are the remaining titles in the film fest: March 16: Another Year, UK [PG-13] Drama/Comedy. English ~ 129 min March 23: The Illusionist, UK [PG] Animated. English/ French/Gaelic ~ 80 min March 30: Biutiful, Spain/Mexico [18-A] Drama. Spanish (Subtitled) ~ 147 min April 6: Barney’s Version, Canada/Italy [18-A] Comedy/ Drama. English ~ 132 min

Chorfest set to resonate Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Here’s the deal for those who really love to sing. A rare opportunity to become one of more than 200 singers performing together in Chilliwack at a final concert is at hand. B.C. Choral Federation’s 2011 Seniors’ Chorfest April 13-16 will bring singers from across B.C. to the Fraser Valley for an outstanding workshop and performance weekend. March 15 is the deadline date to reserve a space either as a choir or as individual singers, said Mary Fisher of the Harrison Hot Springs Multicultural Choir, which is hosting the event. Each singer receives the music and a practice CD for the six songs that will be performed at the final concert. Everyone is asked to learn the music and come to the Chorfest ready to rehearse, as part of a choir of more than 200 voices. The workshops will be run by a professional vocalist. Vancouver music director Bruce Pullan is in the role of clinician for this Chorfest event. “He’s someone who really knows how to take the ‘work’ out of ‘workshop’ and make it both a fun and educational experience,” said Fisher. The choral workshops will take place at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa on April 14 and 15, and a final concert will be held on Friday evening, April 15, 7:30 p.m. at the Chilliwack First Avenue Christian Assembly Church. The Harrison Hot Springs Multicultural Choir would like to invite choirs as well as individual singers in the area to take part. Registration information at http://www.bcchoralfed.com/ events/seniors_chorfest; or call Mary at 604-796-9742.

Beautiful music and art have always gone decidedly well together. Grey Area Gallery is thrilled to be hosting the award-winning jazz ensemble, Brownman Electryc Trio, at their gallery space on Vedder Road on April 6. This powerful threesome combines virtuosic performance skills with a deep knowledge of the jazz repertoire, all set against an urban sonic background. Brownman Trio’s CD Juggernaut debuted at number three on the US iTunes jazz charts. This was due in no small part due to Brownman’s affiliations with legendary jazzhip-hop icon, Guru.

A little Americana is in store for the upstairs lounge at Bozzini’s. Singer-songwriter Jonathan Byrd grew up singing in the Southern Baptist church, where his father preached and his mother played piano. After four years in the U.S. navy, he returned to home to play in rock bands. Then his writing began to change. Assimilating the sounds of southern traditional music, Byrd wrote new songs in an ancient style.

Ecosystems, mandalas, watersheds, and citizenship:The works of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet and environmental activist Gary Snyder

1981-17

Wednesday, March 23 at 8:30 a.m. Coast Chilliwack Hotel 45920 First Avenue, Chilliwack, B.C.

Dr. Trevor Carolan, Department of English

The University of the Fraser Valley and HAS Den Bosch University (Netherlands) will co-sponsor a one-day symposium to encourage partnerships between Holland and Canada, and strengthen the horticulture industry.

Wednesday, Mar. 16 at 4 pm, B121, Abbotsford campus

Keynote speakers:

As a founding father of the international Environmental Movement, Snyderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s approach to global ecology is informed by his upbringing and connection with peoples in the Cascade Range, transPaciďŹ c poets, land and wilderness sustainability issues, cross-cultural anthropology, Mahayana Buddhism, lived experiences with â&#x20AC;&#x153;the bushâ&#x20AC;?, and his scholarly connections with the American Academy of Arts and Letters. Dr. Carolan will consider Snyderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contributions to what citizenship might mean in the current global age, in particular his conception of planetary ecological stewardship as a form of citizenship.

Brandon Mindel: At home on the stage

family that plays together stays together. For the Mindel family, truer words were never spoken. They are fully engaged as a family, especially when it comes to their involvement in the world of theatre. From the time that Brandon Mindel was just a little tyke, you could tell that he was a special child. “He had a sassy spirit,” said his obviously proud mother, Lisa. He was evidently not shy Ana and was filled MACEDO with great humour; a real jokester to be sure. Lisa was quick to add, “His humour and his sense of humour come from his father. When he was a little guy, he loved to dress up and every pose was so natural. Even then you could pinpoint that one day he’d be in theatre.” He credits his kindergarten and grade one teacher, Mrs. Gemma Gillis, with encouraging his dynamic and artistic abilities. “I had Mrs. Gillis during

my formative years and she was just the best,” he said with admiration. During the winter of 2005, when Brandon was thirteen, he was invited by a friend to the Chilliwack School of Performing Arts’ (CSOPA) ‘bring a friend night.’ They hung out and played theatre games. By the spring of 2006, Brandon had signed up for theatre courses. He was hooked. “I have always wanted to be a stand-up comic. That is my long term goal. I enjoy making people laugh. I want people to be happy,” he said convincingly. Brandon also enjoys the thought of working on a television show. He enjoys the idea of having a plot change every week. “For me, in Chilliwack, musical theatre is the closest thing to what I’m interested in,” he said. From then on, his resume reads like one of a well seasoned actor, having starred in at least fifteen on-stage presentations. “I was LeFou in Beauty and the Beast, Grandpa Joe in Willy Wonka and most recently the Cat in the Hat in Seussical: The Musical,” he listed. He’s also taken extensive classes and workshops through CSOPA, in addition to studying voice for four years. His mother, Lisa and father, Kevin have long recognized his passion and they have always supported his long-term vision. Sisters Megan and Emma have also taken to the stage and thus, the family dedicates the greatest majority of their time, to this art form. Kevin has owned Alliance Truss for the last nine years and his profession lends well to the role of lead builder for the CSOPA sets. Kate Whyte, who is a professional set designer out of Vancouver, designs the sets and Kevin, along with other volunteer parents, begin the building process. “For about five months, it consumes my life. It takes well over 2000 volunteer hours to build a set. At times, I’m working ten hours a day, six days a week. I take six weeks off of work to build them. Our latest set for Seussical: The Musical cost about $10,000 to build and the mountain was twentyone feet high. I do love it,” he smiled. Lisa Continued: MINDEL/ p29

Brandon Mindel was the Cat in the Hat for CSOPA’s production of Seussical the Musical in December. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

MINDEL from p28 quickly added,” It’s certainly exciting and exhilarating to see the beauty that’s created by many hands. People do what they can and it really doesn’t matter how much time they give. Many hands make light work and it’s the fact that you give of your time, not how much of it you give.” Brandon’s appreciation of music and movies is quite eclectic. He’ll go from watching silent movies one moment to documentaries the next.

“It’s all an art form and I enjoy it all,” he admitted. Currently, Brandon is enrolled at the University of the Fraser Valley’s two year theatre diploma program. He has also signed on with an agent and with his undeniable talent, drive, determination, dependability, artistic ability, a mature and articulate manner and an absolute passion for acting; it’ll inevitably lead to a part in a movie or television show in the very near future. Once he graduates from UFV, his plan is to

move to Vancouver to attend the Vancouver Theatre Sports League, an internationally renowned comedy improv school. After that, he intends to move

to Chicago to attend the Second City Training Centre, the largest school of improvisation and sketch comedy in the world. “Mike Myers and all of the Canadian comedians attended there and that’s how they were picked to be on Saturday Night Light,” he said in a resolved manner. In as much as Brandon possesses a talent for acting, he’s also very real. He doesn’t go through life in character. His family keeps him grounded; something that he’s thankful for. He’s also appreciative for their support and dedication. “My dad has never missed any of my performances. Not many parents do that.” They buy

their tickets, almost as soon as they go on sale, and they sit front and center. Kevin becomes the professional clapper while Lisa has assumed the cheering role. Brandon has also seen recent affirmation of his skill. He took a gold medal in 2009 at the Lions Music Festival,

two gold medals and the musical theatre comedy trophy at the Festival’s 2010 awards presentation and most recently MVP honours after the Seussical: The Musical presentation. “The dedication and devotion that Brandon has given to his craft and CSOPA has kept

him on the straight and narrow. He’s been absolutely amazing through his adolescent changes because he desires something for his life. The work ethic and dedication that these kids show is nothing short of phenomenal,” said Lisa.

Fitness Are you cheating during your workout?

NOW OPEN!

Today at the gym eight people were on the treadmill – and six were holding on to the handle bars. The person on the stepper was leaning over the handles, reading a magazine. It is unlikely that these people were intentionally ‘cheating’ their workout; they just didn’t know they were reducing its effectiveness. Although the people were still getting some exercise, they were not getting the most out of their workout time. Get the most out of your cardio workout by avoiding these common mistakes. 1. The Death Grip. Holding onto the treadmill or stair climber is an easy way to burn fewer calories during your workout session. Holding on to the treadmill is similar to being pulled by a slow moving car when you walk outside – not an effective way to workout. Although some people may hold on for fear of losing their balance while exercising, many people hold on because of habit, or simply because holding on makes the exercise easier. If you feel unsteady on the cardio equipment, slow down, lower the incline, and simply rest one hand on the handle. If you find walking, running, or stepping while holding on easier (especially when you walk or run uphill), you are absolutely right – and an easier session should not be your goal

when working out. If you need to hold on, your workload is too high. Again, slow down, lower the incline, or lower the load on the stepper until you can manage the intensity hands free. 2. Resting on the equipment. Leaning on the cardio machine means your legs do less work, which means you get a poorer workout compared to standing tall. Tanja When on the SHAW elliptical machine, stand upright. When biking, ensure that the majority of your weight is on your seat and legs. When on the stepper or treadmill, follow the first point of this article and don’t hold on at all. 3. Catching up on your reading. While reading or watching TV prevents exercise boredom, they can also distract you from getting a proper workout. If you really enjoy reading or watching TV during exercise, take short breaks to focus on your exercise. For example, pick up the pace during a commercial break, or do one minute at a higher intensity after you finish a page. To increase the variety and effectiveness of your workout, swap the novel for upbeat music

from time to time. 4. Doing the same workout day after day. We are creatures of habit, and it is easy to fall into the routine of hopping on the same cardio machine, slugging away at the same pace, for the same length of time. While this works for the first few weeks, the body quickly adapts to the workout. This adaptation results in few calories burned and a plateau in fitness level and weight. To combat the plateau, change your workout routine frequently! Add intervals where you work harder for a set amount of time, and change the type of cardio equipment that you use. 5. Doing only cardio. Cardiovascular exercise is important, but so is strength training. Strength training builds bone mass, speeds up your metabolism, and builds muscle strength. If one of your goals is to lose weight or to increase muscle tone, resistance training is key. While any exercise is beneficial, avoiding these mistakes will allow you to get the most out of your workout. The result: more calories burned, and more weight lost for your exercise minute!

beating on Matt Bellerive. Stastny missed a wideopen net on the ensuing power play, and the Bruins escaped unscathed. Vancouver went 0-for-7 overall on the power play. “Our PK did a really good job and I thought the guys competed, blocked shots and cleared the puck very well,” Habscheid said. “That’s a big part of the game. You need both special teams and it was good to get the PK going.” Shots on goal in period two favoured Vancouver 16-12, but Chilliwack carried their 1-0 lead to the third. Reigning CHL goaltender of the week Lucas Gore was

a busy guy early in period three, with Vancouver recording the first six shots. But the Bruins proved it’s quality and not quantity that counts, scoring on their first shot of the final frame. Soudek did the heavy lifting, dangling his way to the net before dishing to Czech countryman Roman Horak. The New York Rangers prospect sniped his 24th of the season, providing the insurance goal. Gore stopped 36 shots in total to record his fourth shutout of the season, sending the Giants to their fourth straight loss. “Like our team, Gore has had some good games and not so good games,”

Habscheid said. “But he’s getting more consistent and the whole team is getting more consistent. Playing better defensively as a team helps, but he’s been there to make the saves.” The Bruins stay on the road, visiting the Seattle Thunderbirds tonight. Chilliwack has home games Saturday (Vancouver) and Sunday (Kelowna). “We’ve worked ourselves into a better position, but I don’t want us to get out of this playoff mode we’re in,” Habscheid said of the team’s current must-win mentality. “The guys are enjoying it, we’ve had some success, and we don’t want to change anything.”

Playoff picture clears Third line players like Curt Gogol, T.C. Cratsenberg and Steven Hodges are playing their best hockey right now, writes Jacob Bestebroer How quickly things can change. In last week’s column, Chilliwack Bruins radio colour man Jacob Bestebroer laid out several puzzling playoff possibilities, none of which looked promising for the home team. This week, the playoff formula is simple. Just win. The Chilliwack Bruins can clinch a playoff spot this weekend. This is a statement I didn’t think would be a true one till one week from today and even that looked dubious at best up until 10 days ago. The Bruins go into this weekend’s action with a team record six straight wins. Trying to figure out the possibilities of how the Bruins could clinch a playoff spot this weekend is not an easy one. Winning Friday night against Seattle, a team that can still catch the Bruins, would go a long way but it would still depend on some of the outcomes of games involving Prince George and Kamloops. The bottom line though is, despite how well the team is playing and the winning

streak, a playoff birth has yet to be secured. We’ve seen how quickly things can change in the Western Conference and there is still work to be done. The much improved play of the Bruins can be credited to each and every player. Sure, goaltender Lucas Gore has led the way recently and was much deserving of his Canadian Hockey League goaltender of the week award. But it’s been more than just goaltending. Third line players like Curt Gogol, T.C. Cratsenberg and Steven Hodges are playing their best hockey right now and playing the role expected of them. There is no question the return to the lineup of 20-year-old defencemen Brandon Manning and Jeff Einhorn has played a huge part in the late season surge as well. Having them out of the lineup was tough but it may be part of the reason the rest of the defencemen have improved their play as of late. While missing Einhorn and Manning, the rest of the defense

logged a lot more minutes in crucial situations. That seems to be paying off now. Should the Bruins earn five points in their final six games they will make the playoffs. Should teams below them in the standings (Prince George, Kamloops, Seattle) lose any games that number drops no matter how they Bruins fare in their remaining games. The Bruins are in sixth place in the Western Conference and have a chance to finish as high as fifth. They are just four points back of the fourth place Vancouver Giants. Catching Vancouver looked impossible two weeks ago. To catch Vancouver would mean the Bruins would have to win in regulation in the last head-to-head game of the season which goes Saturday night in Chilliwack. Given the physicality shown by both teams in the Bruins 2-0 win in Vancouver Wednesday night, I expect a very intense atmosphere Saturday night. I can’t wait. jb@chilliwackbruins.com

Sports Good time for Twisters Abbotsford-based Twisters Gymnastics turned in a solid outing at the Surrey Gymnastics Invitational last weekend, led by Chilliwack athletes. On the women’s side, Marquita Morison finished fourth all-around with a silver on the vault — particularly impressive with Morison coming off an injury. Her results qualified her for Westerns as part of the Provincial 5 Novice B.C. Team. Jessica Gibson of Chilliwack won gold on the beam for Level 3 Tyro, and teamed with Emily Moorhy, Vanessa Beckman and Sydney Dyck to take the team award. On the men’s side, Chilliwack’s Zachary Clay won bronze all-around, with gold medal performances on the vault and p-bars in the National Junior Category. Clay has qualified for National Championships.

Golden Ticket greatness The Pacific Allstar cheerleaders competed at the Golden Ticket Cheer Championships in Vancouver last weekend, with solid results. The mini team had their best finish to date, placing third. The youth and senior teams both placed second. PAC’s athletes now look forward to the Sea to Sky International Cheerleading Championships, taking place April 2-3 at the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The Fraser Valley Dragon Boat Club entered five crews into the March Madness six-man outrigger races, held in English Bay last weekend. The men’s crew placed seventh out of 19 teams with a time of 22 minutes and 58 seconds over the 6 kilometre race. The FVDBC mixed crews paddled hard, with crew one finishing in 25.48 and crew two in 28.28. Both were respectable times, but both finished in the lower half of the pack. The two women’s crews turned in times of 26.57 and 27.44 respectively.

Flying Fliers on track The Sardis Fliers speedskating club had six athletes competing at the WorkSafeBC Speed Skating Short Track Provincial Championships in Port Coquitlam last weekend.

Quinn McKay brought home an iron medal for her fourth place finish and Bekky Clemons and Dominique Hawkenson finished fifth and seventh respectively, all in the T2T F 12 category. Dallas Hawkes came home with a bronze medal for her third place finish in the T2T F 11 category. Because of their finishes Hawkes, McKay and Clemons all secured spots on the B.C. team that will travel to Kelowna for the Canadian Speed Skating Association’s Western Championships on March 26-27. They will be competing against the best speed skaters from Western Canada and the Yukon. The Sardis Fliers are coached by George Donatelli.

I wish to thank all of you for what you have done for me and more if I could.

Help us build a new BC Children’s Hospital.

WAITE Allan Carter

May 21, 1925 – Mar. 2, 2011 After a rich and fulfilling life, Al passed away peacefully at the age of 85 years at Chilliwack WAITE General Hospital. Al spent many years in White Rock prior to his move to Chilliwack. Al was born in Swan River, Manitoba, and entered the Second World War at the young age of 17. He was very proud to be one of the liberators of Holland where he met and married his first wife, Desiree. They lived in 13 locations in western Canada during their happy 47 years of marriage. Al worked for C.N. Telecommunications his entire career. After the passing of Desiree in 1993, Al moved to Chilliwack and married Betty Hunt, to whom he was married for 17 years. They spent many fabulous years together, including travels to many places. He is also survived by his four children from his marriage to Desiree: Myra Merkal (Steve), Sylvia Sax (Bo), Carter ( Fiona) Roger (Kim) as well as grandchildren Evan (Arin), Jarett, Lila, Sarah, Christopher (Tiffany), Desiree & Valerie. Great-grandchildren Sadie, Tatum & Martin. He is also lovingly remembered by Betty’s family, Allan Hunt (Sonja) who took extremely good care of him in his later years, Norman Hunt (Marilyn), their children Kristen (Chad), Lisa (Matt), Danny, great-grandchild Caetlyn. In White Rock, Al was very involved in community service. One of Al’s biggest accomplishments was writing the story of his life “Rich Like Me”. Al had an undying sense of humour and always saw the bright side of each day. A service will be held on Wednesday, March 16, 10:30 a.m. at Cooke’s Presbyterian Church, 45825 Wellington Avenue, Chilliwack, BC V2P 2E1. Tea will follow. In lieu of flowers, please consider donations to a charity of your choice. Weep not – Al has merely found another place to shine.
