Richmond theft leads to take down in Chilliwack An incident that began as an armed carjacking in Richmond ended in and armed take-down in Chilliwack Monday afternoon. Local RCMP were initially told a lone male, wanted in connection with the theft of a black 2010 Mercedes just after 10 a.m. from Bashirs Auto Cosmetics vehicle car detailing was located in Abbotsford and heading toward Chilliwack. Police set up patrols on routes leading into the city, but didn’t spot the vehicle. Tracking data from a cellphone in the vehicle, however, police believed the suspect had headed into the Cultus Lake area or Chilliwack River Valley. Police, including members from the Emergency Response Team and Police Dog Services, scoured the main roads and forestry roads looking for the vehicle. Their break came when a witness reported seeing the vehicle along the Chilliwack Lake Road. Police eventually spotted the vehicle travelling back down Chilliwack Lake Road toward the city and took a position behind it. Meanwhile, additional RCMP attempted to lay a spike belt near the Tamihi Bridge in hopes of stopping the vehicle. When the Mercedes drove around that belt, they attempted a second stop near the Vedder Bridge. This time the vehicle hit the belt, but carried on northbound on Vedder Road. Police eventually cornered the suspect in the parking lot of a Domino’s Pizza outlet at the corner of Keith Wilson and Vedder where the lone Police are considering several charges. The male suspect, A 36 year old male, a resident of Vancouver, will be remanded in custody and his first court appearance will be set for Tuesday, May 17.

Community garden set to take root Partnership will grow produce on a half-acre plot Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s just a non-descript plot of land in Sardis right now. But a thriving community garden for Chilliwack will soon be plowed beside the Mathieson Centre on Wells Road. Food Matters Chilliwack (FMC) has joined forces with Chilliwack Society for Community Living (CSCL) in a unique partnership

that will see vegetables, herbs and more grown in a half-acre plot. Joining forces with Food Matters on a community garden “seemed like a natural fit,” said Julie Unger, CSCL director of adult day and children’s services. The new partnership stemmed from an earlier fruit gleaning project the groups did together and it blossomed from there. “The key word in ‘com-

munity garden’ for us is community,” said Unger. The local agency, CSCL, supports adults with developmental disabilities, as well as children with special needs. In conjunction with the community garden project, they’ve issued a Big Green Grow-A-Row challenge to their umbrella organizations, to see which group can grow the most food this summer for the local food bank.

“We think the garden will be an amazing opportunity for individuals we support to learn from the community about gardening, as well as to teach the community what diversity looks like,” said Unger. The proposed garden site will be located on land donated years ago to the agency. The cool and rainy weather this spring has delayed things by a few weeks. “We’re hoping to get it plowed somewhere in

the next two weeks,” she added. About 40 to 50 people showed up at the first community garden meeting held last week at the Mathieson Centre, said Rachel Poupore of Food Matters Chilliwack. “The interest in this community garden project is just skyrocketing,” she said. “It was so rewarding to get people in a room, talking about what they can bring to the table.” Community gardens Continued: GARDEN/ p6

Seven nabbed in grow-op bust released from custody Robert Freeman The Progress All seven men arrested in last Wednesday’s bust of a grow-op on Unsworth Road have been released, Chilliwack RCMP reported Friday. The four Mexican nationals among the seven arrested were released into the custody of the Canadian Border Services Agency. However, the outcome for them appears to depend on their status in Canada, which is being reviewed by immigration officials. Immigration officials contacted by The Progress would not talk about specific cases. The three Canadians, two 24-year-old men and one 25-yearold man, all from Abbotsford, were released on promises to appear later in court, police said. However, the early release of all seven suggests that none are key players in the grow-op, but lowlevel employees like others who have not found harsh penalties before the courts.

Last month, five of the six workers in the second-largest growop bust ever made by Chilliwack RCMP were sentenced to what amounted to 12 months of house arrest. The sixth received a slightly longer 18-month sentence because of an earlier marijuana conviction. The owner of that Nixon Road grow-op, which involved nearly 5,000 marijuana plants, was never found. The owner of the Unsworth Road property, which was rented out to one of the seven suspects, is known, but he was not arrested by police. However, he may be liable to a fine under a Chilliwack city bylaw that requires landlords to inspect their rental properties every three months to report illegal activities. The bylaw also prevents the house from being re-occupied until the owner has paid for a professional cleanup and paid hundreds of dollars more in fees before a reoccupancy permit is issued. It’s not the first time the house has been used for a grow-op, a

Female sex offender back in custody A female sex offender living in Chilliwack after her release from prison earlier this month is back in custody after appearing in court Monday for alleged breach of conditions. Audrey Black, 35, who was released on May 6 after serving a four-year sentence for sexual offences against children, was considered a “highrisk” sex offender by prison officials. R C M P Audrey Elizabeth Cpl. Tammy Jean Black Hollingsworth said Black had been seen by members of the community breaching her release conditions on two separate occasions. “The Chilliwack RCMP would like to thank the community for being vigilant regarding Ms. Black’s court-ordered conditions,” she said. Hollingsworth could not be reached for details of the breaches. Black’s release conditions included no communication with persons under the age of 16, no attendance at public places where juveniles might be present, and no possession of a computer or other device with internet access. Black reached her young victims by communicating with them online, or by offering babysitting and child care services to their parents.

Chilliwack RCMP officer confirmed on Friday. In April, 2004, The Progress reported 13 people were arrested as they harvested marijuana from a grow-op discovered in an Unsworth Road home. “They were sitting in chairs with scissors,” RCMP Cpl. Sean Sullivan said at the time. “We interrupted them as they harvested the crop ... getting them ready for retail sales,” he said. “There were clippings everywhere on the floor.” Police found 833 marijuana plants growing in the basement and in a nearby barn after executing a search warrant on April 7, 2004. About 600 marijuana plants and 40 lbs of clipped marijuana ready for street sales was found by police last week in the house at 6868 Unsworth Rd. Police responding to the report - which included an Emergency Response Team, Police Dog Services and the Fraser Valley Traffic Service - were initially

Fraser River flood threat being monitored Snowpacks in the upper Fraser and Thompson watersheds are about 105 to 110 per cent of normal Neil Corbett Black Press

Staff at the River Forecast Centre are watching computer simulations and the thermometer, trying to determine if the Fraser River will flood this year. The Fraser basin overall has a snowpack that is 115 per cent of normal, according to David Campbell, of the B.C. River Forecast Centre. Those are snow conditions experienced one year in 10. The snowpacks in the upper Fraser and Thompson watersheds are the most significant contributors to water flows in the Fraser Valley, and there the snowpack is not as high, about 105 to 110 per cent of normal. The Mission/Harrison area has much more snow than normal, over 150 per cent. However, this area is the source of relatively little freshet overall, accounting for only five to eight per cent of the Fraser river flow. “We’re modelling, and keeping an eye on weather conditions,” he said. The Fraser basin is a large geographic area. For flooding to occur, there would have to be an extended period of hot weather affecting most of the province – for five days or more, followed by a period of intense rainfall. In 2007, there was a major flood threat in the region. Dikes protecting Abbotsford and Mission were raised, and 160 soldiers with the 39 Canadian Brigade Group were stationed in Aldergrove, ready to assist. At that time, the Fraser basin snowpack was 138 per cent of normal. Weather conditions that would cause major flooding did not materialize.

Agassiz’s Brandon Wolkosky participated in the 2011 RCMP Youth Academy held at Camp Stillwood from April 21-29. The camp is offered to high school students in grades 11 and 12, and gives them the opportunity to experience what training in depot, the RCMP training grounds in Regina, would be like. Wolkosky had been considering a career in policing and was encouraged by family and friends to give the camp a try. After completing the course, Wolkosky is even more excited about his potential career. “I felt really good, I felt like I had accomplished a lot and not everyone gets [that opportunity] so I felt pretty good about it.” The grade 12 student says that while the physical training was hard, the challenge it provided was his favourite part. “My favourite part of the camp was the Doug Lewis run ... which was running up and down a hill for 20 minutes. The story behind it was

his shirt, but he was too late. The officer staggered to the highway and flagged down a passing car. The drive that fueled Cst. Lewis during this battle was ‘Never give up. Never surrender.’ Those words are what the youth academy students chant as they run up and down the hill as many times as they can in the allotted time. The more daunting task for Wolkosky was the classroom component. After getting up at 5am every morning and training, it’s hard to focus on sitting in a classroom, taking notes to prepare for the exam, he says. Wolkosky says he definitely recommends the RCMP Youth Academy camp for students considering pursuing a policing career. “Prepare physically,” he advises, “I play a lot of sports and thought the workouts were still pretty hard.” And if you cheat, your punishment is even more exercise. “If you don’t think something is fair, just say ‘Yes Constable’ and get over it,” he warns. “It’s a small taste of what you’d have to do to be a police officer.”

really inspirational and they really pumped us up and I really pushed myself.” The inspirational story took place in Hope on September 13, 1996. An off-duty police officer and canine handler, Constable Doug Lewis, was paged to help a highway patrol in need of a canine unit to track a fleeing suspect into the woods. Because Lewis was offduty he did not have a gun, radio or handcuffs, but was followed by an ERT team that would handle the capture, all Lewis and his two-yearold German Shepard, Chip, had to do was locate suspect Robert John Petrus. The trail was rough and running up a mountainside,

and the ERT team soon fell behind, without Lewis or Chip noticing. The pair came upon the suspect, and Chip lunged for him, and the suspect stabbed the dog in the throat. Cst. Lewis charged Petrus, and the two fought as Chip circled around his master, accidentally entangling the constable’s feet in his 20 foot long leash, making him topple to the ground. Petrus jumped on Lewis and stabbed him repeatedly in the face, arms and chest, but still the police officer fought on. Eventually Petrus was able to flee into the woods. Constable Lewis made his way over to Chip, and tried to stop the dog’s bleeding with

Thirteen kilometres of Highway 1 are set to be resurfaced between Hope and Chilliwack. A $1.5 million contract was awarded to Lafarge Canada by the provincial Ministry of Transpor tation and Infrastructure for the work that will start next month. “This project will extend the lifespan of the road, and make driving this section of highway easier and more comfor table,” said Barr y Penner, MLA for ChilliwackHope. Regular resurfacing protects the foundation of the roadway by sealing out moisture and preventing potholes. The new blacktop will go from Jones Creek to Bridal Falls in the Fraser Valley. The resur facing project starts in June and is expected to be done by August.

Is now a good time to invest in commodities? The recent sell-off in commodity prices has many investors wondering what this means for their portfolios. With almost half of the S&P/TSX Composite index allocated towards the Material and Energy sectors, many investors with index-like portfolios have seen the value of their portfolios decline along with the recent commodity sector sell-off. I believe the recent sell-off is due to two reasons: 1. A sudden and significant increase in margin requirements for silver. This caused the market to fear a similar increase in margin requirements for other commodities. This initiated a ripple effect within the crowded commodity market as traders sold their positions to meet new requirements. 2. Emerging markets are getting tougher in their fight against inflation. This could cause growth in the emerging markets to slow and potentially reduce the demand for commodities globally. How far commodity prices decline in the long-term will depend on whether the authorities in the emerging economies are able to engineer a “soft” economic landing. The recent spike in energy prices was threatening the global economic recovery as higher oil prices act like a tax on consumers and businesses. Declining oil prices are a welcomed development as they put the global economic recovery on a firmer footing. Now is a good time to make sure your portfolio is appropriately balanced so that you can take advantage of lower commodity prices. Contact Paul today for a free portfolio review.

12th Annual Promontory hit by rash of car break-ins Dave Lee Memorial Golf Tournament A rash of car breakins was reported in the Promontory area last Thursday night, but only about half were reported to police. Most of the vehicles had also been left unlocked, police said. An RCMP officer investigating calls from residents on Brewster Place, MacSween Drive and Rexford Drive found 20 vehicles had been entered, but only 10 were reported to police. Police believe one person is responsible for all the thefts. “Police are asking for people to lock their vehicles, and to avoid leaving valuables in plain view, even if your car is locked,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said in a news release. She warned car owners to never leave personal identification,

vehicle ownership documents, cash or credit cards in in their vehicle.

Community gardens are found across the globe, especially in places where people want to grow their own food, and foster a shared sense of community at the same time, explained Jason Delisle of Food Matters Chilliwack. There are a number of benefits of a community garden, like the educational aspects of the project they’ll be exploring, said Poupore. It could be anything from how to grow vegetables and herbs in a sustainable fashion using organic methods, to establishing a rain water collection system. Various types of garden plots will eventually be mapped out at the site and available to a range of growers. Some could be for individuals, who live in multi-family housing without backyards, for example, while other plots will be tended by community groups. Some plots will be for Plant A Row/Grow A Row participants, while a few others might be set up to grow tall crops, or short crops specifically. Individuals and groups are being sought as volunteers to help with the garden, to sign up for a garden plot, or to donate gardening equipment, supplies and tools. Donations of lumber to make raised beds, a toolshed and truckloads of good soil are some of the priority items needed to get the project going.

Jackman of Chilliwack. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was named William Thomas but he liked to be called W.T.,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He gave this ring to his wife, Jessie, on their 50th wedding anniversary.â&#x20AC;? The artifact with deep roots in the community was proudly displayed at the museum fundraising launch Thursday night, as an example of the vast and significant archival collection to be housed in the new facility.

Feistmann thanked the City of Chilliwack, and Coun. Pat Clark in particular for championing the cause of expanded archives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pat we wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have had this without you,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding kudos for city staff and the project contractors

and sub-contractors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We certainly do need this expansion, and it will be so good for them to be able to get the collection under one roof.â&#x20AC;? Before the expansion, archives staff had to manage with just 1,500 square feet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To have this space is a dream come true,â&#x20AC;? Museum director Ron Denman told attendees.

Lessons for Layton

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

The ballot boxes have barely been put back into storage and New Democratic Party leader Jack Layton is already facing intense scrutiny in his newfound role as leader of the Opposition. Never before has the NDP been elevated to such status by Canadian voters, with 102 seats in Parliament. That includes an unprecedented 58 MPs elected in Quebec where the party had previously managed to hold two seats. Ever. In fact, so dismal were the NDP’s aspirations for the province they were willing to put forward pretty much anyone with a pulse just to keep the party on the ballot; an anglophone single mom in a predominantly francophone riding, 10 university students, a 19 year-old barely out of high school. Surprise, surprise when many of them got elected. A cynic would suggest Layton and his ballooning caucus benefitted from a backlash against the bickering and acrimony generated by two consecutive minority governments in Ottawa, as well as the relative insignificance of the Bloc Quebecois in those parliaments. An optimist will say those 102 NDP MPs represent new hope for the future, a strong voice for Canada’s young voters. The NDP has traditionally enjoyed a strong allure for younger voters. Its ideals of social justice and equality and economic opportunity for all are shared by those seeking a more egalitarian society, especially newly-minted and disaffected voters just trying to get a toe-hold into the rat race of life. Fore example, when Burnaby-Douglas MP Kennedy Stewart introduced his campaign team that propelled him to victory on election night, none of them looked older than 25. Harnessing that youthful hope and enthusiasm will be Layton’s challenge. He’ll have to be nimble, not stifling. Moulding his massive, inexperienced caucus into an effective opposition will be his opportunity. ~ Black Press

Byelection over; now it’s down to business Premier Christy Clark did a lot of nail-biting last Wednesday as the votes in the VancouverPoint Grey byelection were being counted. For most of that evening NDP challenger David Eby was ahead and she must have been second-guessing her strategy of ducking those all-candidates debates. But when the dust settled, Clark scraped ahead by the seat of her pants with 7,371 votes for a 48.92 per cent share of votes cast. Eby came in a squeaky close second with 6,776 votes for 44.97 per cent of the vote. With just 595 votes separating them, it was a huge score for the NDP who, seemingly revitalized, can’t wait to come back for more in a provincial election. Clark, quick to point out that it was the first time in 30 years that

a sitting government had won a byelection, must read that narrow victory margin as a head’s up that her re-election in the same riding will not be a done deal when a provincial election comes around later this year. But before that, the Liberals Margaret have got to wade EVANS through the selfstyled quicksand of the HST referendum. The recent independent report chaired by Jim Dinning and titled ‘HST or PST/GST? It’s Your Decision’ has got to have them rattled. Fair and balanced, it came out showing that at the family level the HST digs into the wallet deeper but long term the

harmonized tax is a big pay-off for the B.C. economy. Because more things are taxed than before, families pay a total of $1.33 billion more in sales tax after HST rebates and tax breaks. The average family now pays $350 more in sales tax which is given back through increased tax exemptions and rebate cheques. In the long run, the panel’s analysis shows that the real benefits of the HST are gradual and long term. They concluded that the economy will get a bigger boost under the HST than it would under the old system. By 2020 they estimate the economy will be $2.5 billion larger than it would have been with the GST/ PST, representing a 1.1 per cent higher growth. The panel’s analysis expects a four per cent boost in investment

in machinery and equipment, a $1.2 billion boost in additional exports (about 1.2 per cent higher than under the GST/PST) and 24,400 more jobs than under the old system representing a one per cent increase in total employment. Businesses are expected to save at least $150 million in administrative costs because they now comply with one tax, not two, a saving that should be passed on to the consumer. In the final lead-up to the referendum which will be conducted by a mail-in ballot June 13th to July 22nd, the government is spending another $5 million to inform people about the HST. This debacle has been going on for two years now and most people have it figured out. What needs to be better understood are the consequences of voting

it down It would be monumentally expensive to try to return to the old GST/PST system. It would take two years, money advanced from the feds would have to be repaid and the province would lose all the long term economic benefits not to mention the number one priority, stability, demanded by investors. And at the end of the day we would still be taxed at the same rates (5 per cent GST, 7 per cent PST) although Clark has the option to lower the PST portion a point, a cost to the coffers of $800 million but maybe a goodwill pay-off. Clark has some tough work ahead of her now that her leadership honeymoon is truly over.

Volunteer firefighters need your support Duracell batteries and two batteries will be added to a donation that goes to volunteer fire departments across Canada. Batteries might seem like a small item but, just as they power many important devices in our homes, batteries are the key power source in a variety of firefighting and lifesaving equipment. Communication devices and life-saving equipment like flashlights, thermal imaging cameras, chemical detectors, and defibrillators are just some examples of the battery-powered tools that firefighters use to protect the communities they serve. Thank you for your support, Tom DeSorcy Fire Chief District of Hope Fire Department Hope, British Columbia

Marking the 60th anniversary of Battle of Kapyong April marked the 60th anniversary of the Battle of Kapyong – one of the most significant battles fought by the Canadians in the Korean War. As a member of The War Amps Operation Legacy, a group of committed young people who are dedicated to preserving Canada’s military heritage, I would like to highlight this anniversary. On April 24-25, 1951, the 2nd Battalion of Princess Patricia’s

Canadian Light Infantry engaged in the Battle of Kapyong. From their stand on Hill 677, the Patricia’s managed to hold their positions and re-open the supply route despite tremendous odds and bitter fighting. The Canadian action at Kapyong stopped the Chinese advance in this sector of the front for the rest of the war and earned the battalion the US Presidential Citation for valour.

Canada sent 26,791 soldiers to battle in Korea. More than 1,200 were seriously wounded and another 516 never came home. After the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed in 1953, the Canadians returned home amid little fanfare. There were no bands playing, and no parades. In fact, the Korean War had very little impact on Canadians, except, of course, those who fought in it or who lost loved

ones. To mark this anniversary, The War Amps has re-released its documentary Korea: Canada’s Forgotten War to regular and specialty TV channels. Part of The War Amps Military Heritage Series, it is also available at a cost-recovery price of $12 by calling 1 800 2503030 or visiting waramps. ca.

Canucks fans flush in unison, save power too Jeff Nagel Black Press The Canucks’ playoff run has Metro Vancouver toilets flushing in unison with a precision not seen since the Olympic hockey finals during the 2010 Winter Games. Metro engineers are measuring big drops in water pressure throughout the system at the end of each period in key Canucks games. That shows there’s a whole lot of flushing going on as soon as crosslegged fans can safely tear themselves away from their TVs. A Metro graph shows water pressure in Burnaby plunged 15 per cent immediately after the third period of Game 7 between Vancouver and Chicago. “It just drops like a rock,” Metro utility systems control superintendent Rick Marchand said. “We saw the same effect everywhere throughout the Lower Mainland.” His engineers have to keep an eye on each game so they can anticipate commercial breaks, intermissions and overtime goals and brace for when fans will make a mass dash for the can. “We know we’re going to get hit, we know it’s going to happen,” Marchand said. “So we’ll try to anticipate by starting up a bunch of pumps and raising the pressure to maximum levels in advance.” Metro engineers normally expect higher flows on the top of each hour as popular TV shows end but they tend to see the highest numbers during major televised events. They even detected a royal flush phenomenon in the wee hours of April 29 during live coverage of the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. But nothing so far compares to the more than 100,000 flushes measured immediately after Sidney Crosby’s overtime goal to give Canada men’s hockey gold at last year’s Olympics. Marchand, however, said his staff think Canucks fans’ toilet power can top even that mark in the weeks ahead. “These demands, this consump-

tion draw is going to be more severe as we go through the playoffs,” he predicts. Canucks games are also causing a surprising drop in the amount of electricity being used. B.C. Hydro measured a 3.6-per-cent drop in power consumption during the deciding game against Chicago – equivalent to 48 million compact fluorescent light bulbs being turned off – and about a two-per-cent drop in Game 6 against Nashville. That’s far better than the concerted effort made by many green-minded B.C. residents to light candles and cut power use during Earth Hour in March, when a mere one-per-cent saving was recorded. “You might call it an accidental case of conservation,” said B.C. Hydro spokesman Greg Alexis. His theory is that while at least one TV in most households is on, lots of people watch it and don’t do much else to suck power – like vacuuming, washing laundry or running other energy-guzzling appliances – while the game is on. Less power may be used for cooking too, especially if fans are barbecuing or ordering in. “We’ll continue tracking it – hopefully until the first week or two of June,” Alexis said. While some money is being saved through power conservation, other costs go up because of the playoffs. Municipalities, notably Vancouver and Surrey, expect to pay more in policing costs to deal with celebratory crowds, particularly if the Canucks advance to the Stanley Cup final.

Buddy up with a bike Andrea Rendall The Progress Raising gas prices are making many people consider alternative modes of transportation to get to and from work. Why not take advantage of B.C.’s 17th Annual Bike To Work Week to get acquainted with a bicycle? In 1995, Bike To Work Week was introduced to Victoria to encourage residents to consider alternative methods of transportation instead of driving to and from the work place. Now the initiative is celebrated throughout 17 communities province-wide. This event – May 20 to June 3 – does not require a team or pledge donations, and registration is entirely free. “If you work in a workplace where you’re the only person thinking about getting on a bike to work, that’s okay,” says Ken Wuschke, chair of Abbotsford

Cycling Action Group. Draw prizes are offered throughout the week, and prizes include gear donated by Chilliwack’s Pedal Sports, and a Rocky Mountain Metro bike donated by Life Cycles Bike Shop in Abbotsford. “And it doesn’t matter if you’ve travelled a lot or a little, everybody who enters is eligible to win,” Wuschke says, “So if you have a one kilometre commute, you’re just as eligible as somebody who’s cycling between Chilliwack and Abbotsford.” Peter Epp has been biking ever since he lost his training wheels. “I’ve just always like being on two wheels,” he says. Epp rides his bike throughout the spring and summer as soon as the weather turns nice, and averages a bike ride to work twice a week. His commute is from Yarrow to down-

town Chilliwack, roughly 36 kilometres roundtrip. He says that biking really is the best way to see the city’s stellar landscape. “It’s a beautiful area that we live in, and it’s a great way to see it all... you can hear everything and you can feel everything, it’s a much better experience, I think.” Bike To Work Week is a program that “allows us to think of different ways of getting around rather than just hopping into the car,” Wuschke said during a press release on May 10. Wuschke encourages people considering the switch from car to bike to “get out there and enjoy it... just have fun.” A change in lifestyle such as this can be intimidating, but, “Don’t compare yourself to anybody else. If you’re out there and you see some guy who has all the Spandex on, don’t compare yourself.” “Think about what you want to do and how you can do it,” he says, “for most people [biking] is amazing.”

Of Tomorrow

excellence at school and in our community

Mary Eggen has a perfect 4.0 average and has maintained a perfect 4.0 average each year since grade 9. Currently she is in the top 5% of her class at Sardis Secondary School. In December of her Grade 8 year Mary was given the opportunity by her teachers to enter the French Immersion Program to provide her with a further challenge in her studies. Despite the fact that she was two and a half years behind her peers Mary received A’s and B’s in her French Immersion subjects within three months after entering the program. At the end of her ﬁrst six months of being in the French Immersion Program she received the Sciences Humaines Award for her grade level and in grade 9 she received the Les Arts Communicatifs Award. Recently, Mary has undertaken a new language challenge. She is learning, Halq’eméylem, the language of the Stó:lo people, through concurrent studies at the University of the Fraser Valley. She is excelling in this course; her current grade is 100%. Mary also has a keen interest in Psychology and has achieved 99 % in AP Psychology to date. Mary is also taking AP English and has demonstrated excellent academic achievement in Biology 12. Throughout her schooling Mary has also shown a keen interest in music, playing the French horn and Trombone since Grade 7 and earning above 90% in the Music courses she was enrolled in last year. During her time at Sardis Secondary, Mary has also been a member of the Cross Country Team, the District Book Club and has volunteered in several events hosted by the Humanitarian Club.

An A honours student for every single one of her ﬁve hears at G.W. Graham, Kimberly Iversen is soft spoken, and unassuming. But beneath this self-effacing exterior, is a passion for exploring her horizons. Like many strong students, Kimberly works very hard to ensure she is achieving to her potential. Over her years at G.W. Graham, she has been recognized numerous times for her academic prowess. Finalist for the top academic award for four years, in 2006-07, Kimberly garnered the Grizzly Award, given to the top overall student in their grade. She has received the IB Citizenship award, the Math/Science award and the Gauss Math Excellence Award. But there is more to Kimberly than her excellent record as a student. She is an outstanding athlete playing varsity basketball, and varsity soccer. Kimberly is also a PE Leader, volunteering her time to support various sporting events as a promoter, score keeper, and assisting in running sports days at local elementary schools. Kimberly also manages to ﬁnd time to volunteer through her church and with various community organizations and to participate in the school musical productions. With a career goal to become a registered nurse, there is no doubt that Kimberly has availed herself of the opportunities to become a well-rounded compassionate citizen of the G.W. Graham community and beyond. Congratulations Kimberly Iversen on being selected G.W. Graham’s Leader of Tomorrow for April, 2011.

Despite many personal challenges facing Kyle his determination to succeed in life has grown stronger each and every day! He has provided our basketball team with much inspiration. Always at practice after school and shoot rounds at 7:00am. Even though he had a great reason as not to be there he would do as much as his body would allow him to do. He never stopped working and would always be there to encourage others. Kyle has being selected Chilliwack’s Leader of Tomorrow for April.

glands had the ability to control sleep, appetite, inflammation, digestion, anxiety/ depression, hormones and much more. “It is now standard in my practice, even if patients reassure me that they have no stress, to test the adrenal glands,” she said, adding that after a year, patients improve when adrenal health is restored. People suf fering from adrenal fatigue are much more likely to develop various other common diseases ranging from diabetes to cancer. There are a number of ways to test for the adrenal condition, which is not typically recognized by the traditional medical system. One is cortisol testing by saliva, which tends to be expensive, while another method

It’s just two small glands located on top of the kidneys that control ever ything from sleep to hormones. The adrenals may even be the cause of the growing number of chronic fatigue cases being reported. Dr. Marita Schauch will be lecturing on “adrenal burnout” in Chilliwack on Thursday May 19 at Sardis Health Foods at the Chilliwack Mall. Many people underestimate the severe impact stress has on them. “It’s so important to get that message out there,” says Dr. Schauch. An unrelenting fatigue is the number one symptom. “That could be someone who sleeps 10 to 12 hours a night and still gets up exhausted,” she said. She knows because she experienced it firsthand. “The first time I learned about adrenal stress was in naturopathic school - my colleagues and I had no idea that we were on our way to adrenal burnout,” says Schauch, co-author of newly released The Adrenal Stress Connection. “When I started my practice, I was amazed at how these two small

ment include: B complex vitamins, C, and magnesium. Dr. Schauch lives in Victoria where she has a clinical practice as a naturopath. Find out more about adrenal burnout May 19 at 7 p.m. at Sardis Health Foods at the Chilliwack Mall.

Kindergarten teacher Wendy Lawson reads to her class at Little Mountain elementary. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Wendy Lawson: Making a difference for 36 years felt pen, unlike any that I’d seen. I knew that we couldn’t just go out and buy one but how I wanted one,” she mused. She made good on her dream and went to UBC after graduating from high school. She earned her Bachelor of Education diploma then went back for a fifth year to receive her certification in Early Childhood. She had anticipated on getting her Masters degree but one Ana thing led to another MACEDO and that didn’t end up happening. Regardless, Wendy succeeded in every way possible. Wendy’s desire to succeed started early. Her parents were great role models and Wendy and her older sister were encouraged to be the best that they could be. “I was involved in singing, tap dancing and we took elocution lessons. No one takes those anymore,” she chuckled. She also had a passion for books. “The best thing about growing up was getting sick because every time

I ended up sick mom would go out and buy me Nancy Drew books,” she laughed. Her father was a highly respected chef and she credits him with giving her the desire and courage to try new things. “Dad worked as a chef on the CPR trains, he was chef at VGH, Great Northern Way Detox and he even opened up his own coffee shop. Like him, I wanted to move around and try new things. This gives you an ability to grow and not stay planted in one place. You don’t stagnate. I had that chance as a teacher and I wish that teachers today had more of a chance to do that,” she said passionately. Her father was what she proudly describes as the happiest man around. “He is gone now but he was always so happy. Everyone wanted to have my dad as their father,” she beamed. She is equally proud of her mother, who was the private secretary to the head of the blood bank at Vancouver General Hospital. “Mom was a secretary, bookkeeper and accountant her whole life. She taught me that you must take care of yourself and that you should do

something special for yourself too. She also taught me how to handle your finances,” she chuckled. Her parents were the very best of friends and now that her father is gone, her mother has moved in with her, something that she is thankful for. Wendy was hired by the Chilliwack School District and she enjoyed teaching here so much that she decided to remain in Chilliwack for the duration of her teaching career. She began teaching a grade one class at Sardis Elementary School in 1975. Eventually, she moved to Chadsey as head teacher and soon after took on the role of Vice-Principal at Bernard Elementary. “I’m proud of that accomplishment given that I was one of the first female administrators in the District,” she said. Wendy was also the Primary helping teacher in the District which meant that she was a key resource for all primary teachers; she provided testing for the Enrichment program and as President of the Primary Teacher’s Association, hosted the annual Primary Teacher’s Fall Conference. “My whole life has been centered and focused on teaching. I have

enjoyed the work, the variety and especially the kids. I have thoroughly enjoyed my career and I know that I will miss it,” she smiled. For now, she continues to be dedicated to her kindergarten students at Little Mountain Elementary, knowing that year-end is just around the corner. After her retirement, Wendy plans on reading the stacks of books that she has waiting for her. She also plans on doing a bit more scrapbooking, spending time with daughter, Shawna, who is currently studying to become a teacher and their rescue dog, Champ. “I also plan on doing more travelling. I want to visit Bell’s Hill which is a place in Scotland where my maternal grandmother was born. I also plan on being on vacation when school starts in the Fall. Sticking around would be strange and a bit difficult,” she smiled. In honour of Wendy’s retirement, there will be a Retirement Tea on Thursday, May 26th at 3 p.m. at Little Mountain Elementary School and everyone that has had the pleasure of knowing Wendy is invited to attend.

It was once said that the true value of a teacher is determined not by what they know, not by their ability to impart what they know but by their ability to stimulate in others a desire to know. What incredible power and responsibility a teacher must have. After all, they have the ability to inspire, mentor, and encourage their students in a way that can profoundly develop, shape and change their young lives. Wendy Lawson is one of those incredible teachers and she has been dedicated to her calling for the last 36 years. Alas, after all of this time, it’s time for Wendy to put down her pen and paper. She’s retiring. Wendy decided to become a teacher when she was in the first grade. “I laugh about it now but I remember it well. My teacher had flashcards and I wanted them,” she laughed. After all, the teacher had the cards and Wendy was learning. She felt inspired and empowered by this. By the time that she was in the fourth grade, she noticed that her teacher had a red, felt pen and she was thrilled by this sight. “I would watch her and she had this beautiful

The science of nail care at Pink and White Pink and White Nail Salon has only been open three weeks, but is already establishing a solid base of clientele and servicing 50 to 70 individuals a day. The services offered include gel and acrylic nails, manicures and pedicures, waxing and eyelash extensions. Store owner Vicki Nguyen says that she would like to expand to include facials and tattooing as well. Nguyen had been in Chilliwack for two years when she decided to open her salon. “I think it’s a really good opportunity to open a business because Chilliwack is growing right now,” she says. The Pink and White Nail Salon is already on the progressive edge of nail care by offering new techniques for traditional services, “I bring new stuff through my salon that nobody really does,” Nguyen says. Nguyen has been a practis-

ing nail technician for seven years, and specializes in nail art. She offers designs and gems, as well as pressed dry flowers and lace finishes. Cleanliness and sanitation is an important part of running any salon, but Nguyen takes it one step further by keeping all of her utensils in sterilized packaging. “Buffers, nail files and toe separates are one-use only; it’s all disposable,” she says. Pink and White Nail Salon is offering 50 per cent off on all services now through May 18, and Nguyen says that once that promotion is over, she will be offering draw prizes once a month for a gift basket to say thanks to her customers. “After their service I’ll ask [the client] to write their name and phone number down, and then we put it in a draw. We’ll draw once a month. This month is going to be cosmetics, next month might be home decor... we’ll change it every month.”

Some babies fussed. Some laughed, and played with their parents. Others cuddled and nursed. Many fell asleep. But surprisingly, very few cried. Twenty-two little hearts were beating to the sound of drums last Wednesday, during the baby ceremony at Seabird Island community gymnasium. They came from all over Sto:lo territory to be welcomed into the world. Women prepared the floor with blankets before the ceremony, and the babies were carried in by their parents and grandparents, flanked by family members and led by three drummers. Chief Clem Seymour told the crowd that when it was over, the babies would “step off the blankets and begin their new walk in life.” Other elders rose to speak, and sing, to the babies. “You have in your arms, a gift from God,” said elder Pat John. “Cherish every day.”

Relay For Life makes cancer fight a team sport Andrea Rendall The Progress Chilliwack’s 7th Annual Relay For Life will be held at the Prospera Centre on Friday, June, 3. Participants can walk or run in a non-competitive environment to raise money for cancer research, as well as enjoy the fun and supportive atmosphere encouraged by friends and family. Last year the event raised approximately $75,000 and Tim Dixon, community fundraising co-ordinator for the Canadian Cancer Society, says that he anticipates to reach upwards of $78,000 this year. There are currently 26 teams registered, but Dixon expects that number to jump to about 35 by the time the

“ ”

We like to keep going every year now... cancer touches everybody in so many different ways ~ Cheryl Parks relay starts. “It’s a really positive event,” Dixon says, “I don’t know anyone who can say they don’t know somebody affected by it.” Teams come together each year for the 12 hour overnight event. The average team size is about nine members, “But,” Dixon says, “There will be teams of six and teams of 26. So if you only have a team of four, you’re still making a contribution, that’s

ood team a good team. There’s no min minimum requirement.” Scotiabank team member Cheryl Parks has been participating in Relay for Life for four years. She got involved when a co-worker was diagnosed with cancer, and has been a contributor for the cause ever since. “We like to keep going every year now... cancer touches everybody in so many different ways, it’s a very strong commitment

that the branch [puts] in here, to honour co-workers that we have lost.” Throughout the last four years, Parks’ team has raised over $25,000 to donate to cancer research. “We do fundraising in the branch here. We’ve done bake sales and raffles for gift baskets, and we have lots of customers that just hand over $20 and say ‘please donate this for us.’”

Decide for yourself. Learn more at HSTinBC.ca You‛ve probably heard and seen a lot about HST — some negative, some positive. Well, now you can have your say. From June 13th to July 22nd you‛ll vote whether to keep HST or go back to PST plus GST. It‛s an important decision for our province, so be sure to take the time to understand all the implications of the two tax systems. And before you decide, put each tax option to the test at HSTinBC.ca

The most emotional part of the relay for Parks is the Luminary ceremony. Participants bring in pictures to place on bags and decorate them, then place a lit candle inside. “It’s very, very touching,” she says, “It’s beautifully done.” The most challenging physical aspect Parks says, is staying up all night. But, Dixon anticipates this, and plans events that happen all night long. Scavenger hunts, live music and performances are all part of the activities geared to keep participants motivated. Parks invites first time teams to get together and come and have fun, and the public is encouraged to come out and support Relay For Life. “It’s very motivating,” she says, “It’s the event that I wouldn’t want to miss.”

cancer. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Canadian men and is as prevalent to men as breast cancer is to women. During their lifetime, one in six Canadian men in their lifetime will be diag-

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Flooded fields a cause for concern Eric J. Welsh, The Progress It’s 9:30 a.m. on a drizzly, dreary Monday morning. Your friendly neighborhood sports writer is looking out the window, pondering the possibility that his daughter’s spring soccer game will be rained out. Again. If it happens, it will be the fourth time in eight weeks that the Fairfield Island sports field has been deemed too soggy for soccer. .500 is an admirable batting average in baseball. In this case, it stinks. “Every year a few key fields in Chilliwack (Exhibition, F.G. Leary, Fairfield) close for a period of time, typically during the summer, for maintenance.” Chilliwack FC head coach Glenn Wilson observed. “And they come back the following year in the same condition. They’re not being improved.” F.G. Leary is a particular sore spot for CFC, with its standing as one of the only lighted pitches in town. “I don’t keep record, but I swear that field is probably closed more often than it’s open during the winter months,” Wilson noted. “It’s a nice field when it’s in good condition, but it’s probably the worst in the community in terms of how it drains. The water just pools on the surface in no time at all, and we get very little access to it.” These problems are usually more prevalent in the fall.

Having field closures wreak havoc on the spring schedule is a new problem, one that worries CFC president Andrea Laycock. “I’ve never seen anything like this, and I suspect at some point we’re going to start seeing emails and getting phone calls from people wanting a refund,” she said. “We only have so many days to make these rained-out games up, and it’s not our fault that the fields aren’t usable.” Laycock said CFC has a track record of diligence when monitoring and judging the playability of local fields. The association has a vested interest in protecting the pitches and the health of the players playing on them. CFC officials often conduct their own field checks on game days, and matches have been called off many times even when the fields have been left open by the city. The City strenuously insists that regular maintenance is being done, but Laycock said that whatever is being done is clearly not enough. This past weekend a team from Penticton came down for a Pacific Coast Soccer League game at Exhibition Stadium. The Penticton coach had to be persuaded to play on grass that was deemed to be way, way too long. “These PCSL games are of the same calibre as the (B.C. Junior Football) Huskers and we need the best field available,” wrote CFC fields coordinator Mike Hawley in a letter to the

The lighted field at F.G. Leary is one of several local pitches frequently deemed unplayable due to soggy conditions. The problem has been exacerbated by an unusually rainy spring. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

city. “We have teams coming from different areas of the province to play these exciting U-21 games, and it’s an embarrassment to our teams and club when we have to play on such a field.” “If they’re closed for maintenance then I would expect to see some maintenance being done,” Laycock added. “And I don’t count throwing some seed and lime down as maintenance. To me, it’s fixing worn-out goalmouths and improving drainage where there is chronic standing water.”

The City’s position on the matter is that the field renos required to fully eliminate the problems would be prohibitively expensive. They do their best with what they have and they do more than lay down seed and lime. Contacted last week, mayor Sharon Gaetz said five days of sun and wind would help a lot, and she has full faith in the folks who oversee the city’s soccer pitches. “We’re generally praised for our fields and we’ve had all kinds of acclamation from people from other com-

munities,” Gaetz commented. “But this year has definitely been an exception to the rule. This has been one of the wettest Aprils on record and all the other communities seem to be facing the same kind of challenges.” Gaetz conceded F.G. Leary’s status as the most problematic field in Chilliwack, but said there’s not enough money in the City coffers to make it right. City workers dug a test hole a month ago, going 12 to 18 inches into the ground. They found a huge layer of clay, the type of

stuff that leaves water with nowhere to go but back up to the field. “What we would have to do at Leary is remove all the clay, put new soil and better drainage in,” Gaetz elaborated. “It’s a really costly solution and not one the City currently has the funds to do. It’s a big fix for that field.” The cost to properly fix Leary has been estimated between $100,000 and $300,000. In the case of Fairfield Island, a lack of irrigation and drainage limits usage to spring and summer soccer. That would require another

costly fix. The City often tries to aerate the fields and apply a top dressing of sand. But getting heavy machinery on the oversaturated fields is likely to cause more problems than it solves right now. The bottom line is that Mother Nature may be the only one who can alleviate the current issues. Long term, it appears to be a matter of money and finding enough to pay for what needs to be done. For frustrated parents and players, real relief may be a long time coming.

Tom Robson deserved a better fate. The Langley Blaze pitcher was near-perfect in the second game of Sunday’s B.C. Premier Baseball League (BCPBL) double header against the Fraser Valley Chiefs at Whalley Stadium. The 17-year-old from Ladner struck out 10 of the 21 batters he faced,

and allowed just one walk and a single by Jordan McComb. Unfortunately for Robson, he ran into Chilliwack native Ty Walker, who tossed a no-hitter to lead his Chiefs to a 1-0 win. “Tom Robson is the best pitcher in Canada,” said Chiefs head coach Ernie Hawkins. “He’s been picked for the

national team, and he’s a beauty. He’ll be a high draft pick. But Ty Walker just threw a better game, he no-hit them. We’re glad to get the win for Ty.” Walker, an 18-yearold Sands secondary school (Delta) student, walked just one batter, striking out five for a complete-game win, his third in as many starts.

Double-header drama

Chilliwack’s midget AAA baseball Cougars played two doubleheaders on the weekend. A confident Cougars crew came into a Saturday twinbill against the South Okanagan Tigers riding a three game winning streak. A pair of defensive miscues led to a 5-2 loss in the opener, but the Cougars regained their footing in the

rematch. Chilliwack scored three times in the third inning, with Payton Nerbas and Raphael Oivares hitting key RBI singles. After adding a run in the fourth and another in the sixth, the Cougars took the game 5-3. Starting pitcher Joe Pharand recorded the win with reliever Gage McLaren earning the save. On Sunday, the Cougars squared off against the Kamloops RiverDogs in another double-header, earning another split. Facing a slowthrowing pitcher, the Cougars hit nothing hard in the first game. Chilliwack grounded into two double-plays and 10 easy ground-

ball outs, adding another eight lazy popouts. Sloppy defence in the first three innings cost the Cougars, who gave up four runs on four walks, two hit batters and five hits. That was all the RiverDogs needed for a 4-1 win. The second game was looking like it might unravel for the Cougars as well as they trailed 10-6 going into the bottom of the sixth inning. But when Kamloops changed pitchers, the Cougars were able to take advantage of four RiverDog errors and three timely hits to score five runs and take an 11-10 lead. Relief pitcher Blake Peeling shut the door to take the win.

Bantam Cougars upset Expos Chilliwack’s bantam AA Cougars played a double-header showdown against the league leading Vancouver Expos on Saturday. Game one saw the Cougars edge the Expos 2-1 in a tight defensive contest. A pitching exhibition by starter Konnar MacDonald and reliever Zac Middleton held the Expos to only one run over the seven innings. Offensively, Evan Kellington went two-for-two at the

plate, scoring both Chilliwack runs with Josh Anderson earning an RBI. Game two saw the Cougars prevail again, with a fast start translating to a 5-4 win. Devyn Heggs started a three-run first inning with a double, coming around to score on another double by Ryan Petkau. Chilliwack’s starting pitcher, Kaleb Loewen, kept the Expos off balance during the first three innings, and reliever Trent Loewen helped the Cougars

carry a one-run lead into the seventh. Heggs came on as the closer with runners on first and second and gave up a walk to load the bases. Vancouver’s final batter worked the count full before striking out on a Heggs fastball. The Cougars now have a record of 10-4-1 heading into the final five games of the season. Chilliwack’s next home game is against New Westminster next Monday at noon at Fairfield Island.

Learning process for PCSL men Coach Graeme Slee would have valid reason for concern three games into the Pacific Coast Soccer League U-21 season. Three games. Three losses. Zero goals for. Ten goals against. Not the kind of line you want to see as you scan the standings, but Slee says it’s all part of the development process for his young crew. “The PCSL reserve is a development league, and the way we’ve approached this sea-

son is to go with massive youth,” Slee said in the aftermath of a 2-0 home-field loss to Penticton on Saturday. “We’ve got a bunch of 16 and 17-year-olds, and just three overagers. Penticton treats it like a summer-league team and they play their best players, including five overagers. It makes a big difference sending our guys against guys who are 24 and 25 years old.” Slee said his group is struggling with the pace at the higher level, most noticeably on the

defensive end. Surrendering two goals against Penticton was a step in the right direction after losing 3-0 and 5-0 the previous weekend. “It took Penticton 70 minutes to score against us on Saturday, so that’s a ruler that says we did improve,” Slee said. “You take individual players like Kyle Staiger and Jordan Van Drimmelin and you can see them getting better game to game and week to week.” Offensively, Slee believes the chances

and goals will come if his team plays with more urgency. “It’s transition from defence to attacking, and these guys had been playing at levels where that transition isn’t so drastic,” Slee explained. “Now, the transition has to be considerably faster to get opportunities. That’s what we have to work on, and the shots and goals will come as we hit our objectives.” The locals are back home Saturday, hosting West Van FC at 2 p.m. on the turf field at Townsend Park.

The disappointment of a 3-2 home opener loss on Saturday was quickly shoved to the side as Chilliwack’s U-21 PCSL women bumped Vancouver FC 2-1 on Sunday. Chilliwack got goals from Nicole Verdonk and Kirsten Wilson to even their record at 1-1. “What our girls are learning is that no win comes easily and yesterday’s game was one where you had to roll up your sleeves to get a

result,” said Chilliwack coach Glenn Wilson. Verdonk opened the scoring midway through the first half, burying a cross from Reanne Beerwald. Vancouver briefly tied the match 10 minutes into the seco=nd half, but Chilliwack dominated the rest of the game and got the winner when Wilson punched home a cross from Cassie Fitzgerald. On Saturday, the locals came ver y

close to upsetting one of the league’s top teams, Vancouver’s TSS Academy. Aileen Atkins scored twice for Chilliwack in a 3-2 loss. She was denied a third goal on a refereeing miscue, leaving Atkins and her teammates feeling cheated by the final result. “It was off a direct free kick from just outside the penalty area, where the ball went into the net and hit the frame of the goal before

coming out,” Wilson said. “The referee must have thought it hit the cross-bar, but it had to have been a good 12 to 18 inches inside the net before it came back out.” Chilliwack returns to the pitch Thursday, hosting Trinity University’s Athletes in Action at 7 p.m. at Exhibition Stadium.
