Illegal trade in native-caught salmon rampant: DFO

■ C ALM B EFORE T HE W EEKEND

Cohen inquiry zeroes in on black market food fish sales Jeff Nagel Black Press Aboriginal fisheries on the lower Fraser River are “out of control” and vast amounts of salmon supposed to go strictly for food, social and ceremonial purposes are instead sold on the black market. That’s the assessment of Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) staff tabled in evidence this week at the Cohen Commission into the decline of Fraser sockeye. DFO investigators estimated 97 per cent of lower Fraser sockeye harvested under aboriginal food fisheries are sold, according to one document summarizing internal department concerns after an April 2010 meeting. Scott Coultish, who heads DFO’s Intelligence and Investigation Services branch, defended the figure before the commission Tuesday, saying it reflects staff estimates. That and other evidence filed at the inquiry gave fresh weight to long-running claims of widespread native poaching and illegal sale of salmon. “The root cause of illegal harvest is the sale of that product,” said the 2010 document. A 2006 operational intelligence assessment by DFO’s Special Investigations Unit warned illegal sales of First Nations-caught fish is widespread across B.C. via back door dealing to restaurants and fish shops as well as door-to-door sales. “The FSC (food, social and ceremonial) First Nations fishery on the Lower Fraser River is largely out of control and should be considered in all contexts, a commercial fishery,” the assessment said, warning DFO is “unable to effectively control the illegal sales.” Continued: CREY/ p5

Yale treaty sets stage for conflict: Sto:lo Robert Freeman The Progress Pomp and ceremony greeted the proposed Yale First Nation treaty as it was introduced in the B.C. legislature Wednesday with tidings of great hope for a new life by children who will live under the landmark agreement. But there was bitterness back home among Sto:lo Nation leaders who believe the treaty is a “recipe for disaster” that will only continue conflict and uncertainty in the Fraser Canyon - and at other treaty

tables around the province. Sto:lo chief Joe Hall said the provincial and federal governments are setting a “dangerous precedent” by taking Sto:lo land - fishing sites, burial grounds and religious sites - and giving it to the control of “one Indian Act band” - the Yale First Nation. The treaty that BC MLAs will vote on in the next few weeks contains provisions for “reasonable” requests for access to these sites, but Hall asked who will decide what is reasonable? He pointed out that the Sto:lo have had a “long and antagonistic” relationship with Yale Chief

Robert Hope, who denies the Yale people have any cultural connection to the Sto:lo, and in 2008 he admitted bulldozing a cemetery in the Fraser Canyon claimed by the Sto:lo. Hall said no matter how “congenial” the Yale chief might be, the Sto:lo would never accept a treaty that denied them access to their culture. “The government has created a volatile situation that could ultimately result in bloodshed and violence,” he warned. Dr. David Shaepe, a Sto:lo archeologist, said the treaty could ultimately have a ripple effect beyond B.C. boundaries

as the Fraser Canyon area is being considered for a world heritage site, not just for aboriginal history, but for its record of human habitation that “you can’t find anywhere else.” Hall said he has met with government negotiators “on several occasions” over the last two years with “boxes” of historical evidence supporting the Sto:lo point of view, but to date has received “no one single response.” “Even worse, they haven’t provided one iota of evidence supporting their (treaty) decision,” he said.

Faces behind Chilliwack’s graduation numbers Katie Bartel The Progress If it’s true that it takes a community to raise a child, something could be wrong with the Chilliwack community as evidenced in its graduation rates. For more than five years, the Chilliwack school district has consistently languished below the provincial average in graduating students. In the 2009/10 school year, just 69 per cent of students made it to graduation – 11 per cent below the provincial average. Chilliwack is more in line with rural school districts like Fort Nelson and Cariboo-Chilcotin,

where resources are limited, than pregnancy, and issues with drugs it is to nearby communities like and alcohol. Abbotsford, Langley However, other and Mission, which school districts in the have 85.9 per cent, 82.5 Fraser Valley face many per cent and 80.1 per of those same issues, cent successful graduabut are still successful tion rates, respectively. in getting their students “We know we have to graduation. kids coming into our So what makes schools who are very Chilliwack different? challenged,” said school Why does this commuA four-part district superintendent nity continue to strugChilliwack Progress gle? Corinne McCabe. Chilliwack has a large series on students “I can’t answer overcoming aboriginal community, that question,” said students with mental McCabe. “That’s what obstacles health issues, transient we’re trying to find out. to graduate kids moving in and out Chilliwack’s numbers of the district, impoverare not good ... and ished families, a high rate of teen we’ve been asking those questions

for a number of years; we’ve been digging into the data.” In the last two years, the district has invested heavily in technology, purchasing iPads and iPod Touches to become more relevant to today’s “screenager” student. “The kids have changed – they have more ability to draw in information from so many different sources and we’re competing with that,” said McCabe. “But the fundamental piece hasn’t changed and that’s about the relationship the kids have with the significant adults in their lives who help them to be successful – that’s at the core of it.” The district is changing practices around student assessment and homework completion, giving

teachers the tools to effectively educate their diverse classrooms. “This is work we have to do with our parents, our community, our students and our schools,” said McCabe. “We’re working very hard to do the things we need to do to make [graduation rates] better, because what’s happening in the classroom, and the supports in the home and in the community, that will make it better.” In the meantime, 31 per cent of Chilliwack students are headed towards failure. The Progress interviewed a number of students who have faced mental health issues, had no parental support at home, lived on the streets, and weren’t engaged in school. These are their stories.

Out-running the ghosts Katie Bartel The Progress Nathon Jimmie is determined to free his future from the history of residential schools. Ever since his great-grandfather attended a residential school in the 1930s, generations of his family have been suffering. “I’m going to put an end to the cycle of pain, like right now,” he says. It starts with graduation. The 20-year-old will be graduating in June – two years after the timeframe prescribed by the B.C. education ministry’s six-year completion rate. In Chilliwack, he is among a limited group of aboriginal students to obtain his Dogwood. First Nations students in Chilliwack make up 15 per cent of the student population. And yet, 45.4 per cent who started Grade 8 in the district six years ago graduated in the 2009/10 school year. “We’re not doing as good a job as we need to with our aboriginal population,” admits school district superintendent Corinne McCabe. “Our aboriginal students are a challenge for us; they’re a challenge for the whole province.” McCabe hopes that by signing the aboriginal enhancement agreement last year, which is a partnership between the Chilliwack school district, Chilliwack’s aboriginal communities and the education ministry, and by offering courses like Halq’eméylem and First Peoples, the success of native students will improve. “The aboriginal community has to tell their kids it’s important to finish school, and our schools have to make it easier for those parents to support their kids,” says McCabe. Many aboriginals, like Nathon, come with generations of baggage. Nathon, who was raised on the Squiala First Nations Reserve, has endured abuse, neglect, abandonment, alcoholism and drugs, which he says stems from his greatgrandfather’s days in an Indian residential

school. Residential schools were created by the Canadian government in the 1840s as a way of “civilizing” its aboriginal communities by trying to forcefully assimilate indigenous children into European culture. Aboriginal children were taken from their homes and families into schools where their native language and culture were not accepted. Physical and sexual abuse was rampant. Nathon’s great-grandfather was physically and emotionally abused. His brother, who was thrown down a flight of stairs, was killed. Outside of school, the greatgrandfather sought relief through alcohol and violence. “The pain and anger he carried from residential school, he put that upon his children,” says Nathon.

Nathon’s grandmother, who became addicted to medically prescribed drugs, continued her father’s anger with her own children. And even though his mother stopped the physical abuse, she became an alcoholic just like her grandfather. She dropped out of school at 16, had Nathon, her first child, at 17, which meant “we were to live a life of struggle.” After his parents split up when he was 13, Nathon became a surrogate parent to his two younger siblings. While his mom did shift work, Nathon had to clean the house, prepare lunches, cook dinner, put his brother and sister to bed, and make sure they got to school on time. His grades suffered. “I couldn’t really live life as a kid. I had a lot of responsibilities, a lot of pressure.

I couldn’t just go home and watch TV or hang out with friends, I had to help around the house, and somehow fit in homework, too. It made schooling a lot harder.” When Nathon, who had already been held back in Grade 1, failed Grade 7, he was ready to give up on school altogether. “I’d already been through that process of being teased, frowned upon, asked why I’m this age, but not in that grade with my peers – I didn’t want to go through that again.” It was his mom’s faith that kept him going. “She always told me that I’m going to be a lot better person than she ever was, that I’m going to move on with my education, I’m not going to struggle like she did – that’s what pushed me.”

Armed take down under review Robert Freeman The Progress An RCMP review of the shots fired to stop an armed car theft suspect as he fled into Sardis Monday after a police chase through the Chilliwack River Valley is underway by the Upper Fraser Valley RCMP detachment. RCMP spokesman Sgt. Peter Thiessen said the review is standard procedure and will look at the circumstances of the pursuit, the shots fired and the use of a police vehicle to push the suspect vehicle off the road. As reported in The Progress Tuesday, the driver of the vehicle, stolen earlier that day in Richmond, had avoided two spike belts set up by police on Chilliwack Lake Road, but hit

a third at the intersection of Vedder Road. Despite blowing out the front tires, the driver continued on and turned onto a deadend street near Keith Wilson Road. Thiessen said the suspect rammed two police vehicles as he tried to drive out of the deadend street, “heading into more populated areas.” “Shots were fired by police, striking the suspect vehicle,” he said. “The vehicle was ultimately stopped when a police vehicle pushed it off the road, and it got hung up on a utility pole guide wire,” he said. The vehicle, a black 2010 Mercedes, damaged on the driver’s side, came to rest in the parking lot of Domino’s Pizza and Mountainview Cleaners. The 36-year-old suspect, from

Vancouver, was then arrested without incident. Staff at nearby businesses witnessed the dramatic arrest, but said they never heard shots fired. The suspect was scheduled to appear in Richmond provincial court Wednesday where several charges were expected. The incident began at about 10:15 a.m. when Richmond RCMP were called about a robbery with a firearm at Bashir’s Auto Cosmetics. Tracking cellphone data, police believed the suspect was in the Cultus Lake area or the Chilliwack River Valley. The Mercedes, with BASHIR on the rear licence plate, was then spotted by police on Chilliwack Lake Road at about 2 p.m. and the chase began. rfreeman@theprogress.com

Naked man startles mother, daughter A naked man in the bushes off the Prest Hill trail near Teskey Road was reported to police by a woman walking with her daughter Wednesday afternoon. “This is an area that sees a lot of foot traffic and we just want people to be aware of the

incident,” said RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck. When the man realized the mother and daughter had seen him, he retreated further into the bushes and slipped on a pair of navy pants, Wolbeck said. Police made extensive patrols of the area,

but the man had fled. The suspect is described as a white male, about six feet tall, weighing between 170190 lbs. He has brown hair and a mustache. “As always, we want to encourage people to be vigilant of their surroundings and to

never approach a person they consider to be suspicious in any way,” Wolbeck said. Anyone with information about the 2 p.m. incident is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

No evidence, says Crey CREY from Front Various methods and levels of sophistication allow First Nationscaught salmon to be laundered into regular commercial markets, it added. The assessment called for more effort to identify and charge retail buyers in the Lower Mainland and said more resources are needed to step up enforcement. The findings were in response to a 2005 probe by fishery officers who suspected large amounts of First Nations-caught sockeye was going into cold storage at outlets across the Lower Mainland for later illegal sale. Project Ice Storm was an audit of 110 Lower Mainland fish plants that found 345,000 sockeye in storage as of September 2005. That was the end of a season where low sockeye returns meant no commercial fishery was allowed, nor was any aboriginal economic opportunity fishing (a limited for-profit commercial fishery for First Nations.) All the fish in the plants was therefore FSC fish and much of it seemed packaged for sale. But the investigation ran out of funding, DFO officers never got proof any of the frozen salmon were sold and no prosecutions resulted, the inquiry was told. Randy Nelson, DFO’s director of conservation and protection in the Pacific region, said further budget cuts expected will likely continue to limit the department’s ability to target illegal sales and poaching.

Although it’s impossible to say how much illegal fishing happens, Nelson told the inquiry he believes it may account for hundreds of thousands of sockeye vanishing each year, but not millions. Many people fish illegally, he said, not just First Nations. Even when poachers are caught many never pay their fines. There’s more than $1 million in outstanding fines for illegal fishing in the Pacific region, according to an update tabled at the inquiry. Sto:lo fisher advisor Ernie Crey, speaking outside the hearings, dismissed the allegation large amounts of sockeye are illegally sold by First Nations. He said aboriginal people don’t use traditional preservation methods as much and have increasingly turned to industrial freezers. “It’s not prohibited,” Crey said. “We can do that if we choose, along with all other Canadians.” He said DFO wrongly assumed the fish in 2005 was destined for the black market. “They don’t have any direct evidence that’s the case,” he said. B.C. Conservative party leader John Cummins said he feels vindicated by the evidence presented this week. The longtime commercial fishermen was fined $200 in Surrey court Monday for his role in a 2002 protest fishery that tried to shame DFO into cracking down on aboriginal food fish sales.

Just three years after coming to Chilliwack, Corinne McCabe, superintendent of schools for the Chilliwack School District, has announced her intention to resign later this year. In a statement released Wednesday, McCabe said she will be stepping down in November following the municipal elections when a new Board of Education has been decided. “We are in a very exciting time in education,” said McCabe, “and it is with mixed feelings that I made this decision.” McCabe brought more than 30 years of education experience to Chilliwack. Starting out as a high school mathematics and science teacher in a small community just west of Edmonton, Alberta, she eventually assumed roles as a high school principal and an assistant principal. She worked for Alberta education, responsible for mathematics and science assessment and curriculum. Before joining the Chilliwack school district in 2007, she was assistant to the superintendent/executive director of Edmonton Public Schools, where she was responsible for a districtwide initiative to improve student achievement, leadership development and the district’s budget, planning and transportation. McCabe said she remains optimistic about education in Chilliwack. “The district is in a great place to support learning in both traditional and innovative ways,” she said. McCabe is the most recent senior administrator to leave the district. In the last two-and-a-half years, two assistant superintendents have retired, a secretary treasurer took a position in Abbotsford, and, most recently, the director of finance left for the Interior.

Minister ‘confident’ differences can be settled

Giant Bulk Bags of Garden Soil and Bark Mulch delivered right to your driveway, ready to use at your convenience.

MINISTER from Front “We’ve got to take our fight outside the treaty negotiators,” Hall said, and that means putting pressure on politicians to demand that a “shared territory agreement” is hammered out between the Sto:lo and the Yale before the treaty is signed.

“Treaty is supposed to bring certainty and harmony and an end to conflict,” Hall said. “This (Yale treaty) is not going to do that.” Chilliwack MLA Barr y Penner, formerly B.C. Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation Minister, said Thursday that ministry officials are working on setting up a meeting with the Yale and the Sto:lo. “Obviously the relationship between some of the First Nations in our area could be better and I hope this (meet-

Canadian border services officers seized loaded handguns from a U.S. traveler at the Sumas border crossing, the second such incident this month. The traveler, Ditrek Lamone Mack, who was en route to Alaska with his family, was arrested and charged May 1 with smuggling firearms into Canada. Mack did not declare the two handguns and ammunition, which were discovered by border officers during a secondary examination of his vehicle. One prohibited handgun was located in the centre console of the vehicle and within reach of Mack, border officials said. The second handgun was also loaded and located in a plastic

case behind the driver’s seat. Mack was released on bail. On May 5, another U.S. resident was arrested after border officers found a loaded 9 mm handgun and two prohibited high-capacity magazines hidden under the front seat of his vehicle. The resident, whose name was not released, was charged with smuggling and possession of a loaded prohibited firearm. A spokesperson for the Canadian Border Services Agency said the two incidents are not related to an increase in border security, but stem from officers following routine procedures. Last year, 141 firearms were seized by border officers in the Pacific Region, some of whom are trained at the CBSA’s facility here in Chilliwack.

217 hectares of former Yale Indian reserves and 1,749 hectares of Crown lands. The agreement also includes selfgovernment provisions and phase-out of tax exemptions. Chief Hope said in a news release that the treaty “brings unprecedented economic and social opportunities to our nation as the foundation upon which we, the Yale people, will build our own government and exercise jurisdiction over our own lands.” “Our greatest wish is for a ‘treaty-future’ for our children, and we look forward to the final phase of the process,” he said.

ferences between the Yale and Sto:lo can be worked out, like those in the recently-signed Maa-nulth treaty. “I’m hopeful,” she said, adding that conflicts between First Nations at treaty tables are “not unusual” and “we’ve had this experience in every treaty so far.” The proposed Yale treaty will be the third reached under the B.C. treaty process, if approved by provincial and federal governments. The treaty provisions include a $10.7-million capital transfer, $2.2 million in development funding, and 1,966 hectares of land owned in fee simple, comprised of

However, Penner said that when he was the aboriginal relations minister he asked ministry officials to look into the Sto:lo complaints, and they assured him the treaty is “an appropriate outcome.” Chilliwack MLA John Les said he had not seen the treaty legislation, but his “inclination” is to support it. He said it’s his understanding the treaty does not give the Yale “exclusive” control over canyon fishing sites. Langley MLA Mary Polak, the current aboriginal relations minister, told The Progress on Thursday that she is “confident” the dif-

Despite its access to remote wilderness areas, Chilliwack is not the “boonies” where anything goes, RCMP officials warned as the May long weekend approached. “It’s not news that you can’t drink alcohol in public,” RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said, and a special police enforcement team along with forest ministry and local citizens-on-patrol groups will be on the look-out for lawbreakers or yahoos who think anything goes once they arrive in Chilliwack. “We’re not out there to be fun-killers,” Wolbeck said. “But when you have this many people, we have to make sure everybody’s safe or everybody suffers.” “The area is very family-oriented,” she added. “We want to make sure that families feel safe and comfortable being here.” Thousands of people regularly head for the day-use areas of the Cultus Lake park on the May long weekend, and hundreds stay at the park’s campgrounds, as well as other regulated and unregulated campsites in the Chilliwack River Valley, and around Chilliwack Lake and Harrison Lake. But no overnight camping or parking is allowed on the Chilliwack Lake Road between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m. Violators will be towed at the owner’s expense and face possible fines. The “zero tolerance” approach on land will be mirrored on the water. All the laws under the Small Vessel and Regulations Act will be enforced on local lakes and rivers, especially safety regulations like wearing a life jacket while on the water. “Too many of the tragedies we experienced last year were due to people not wearing life jackets,” Wolbeck said. “It doesn’t matter how much experience you have with boating, you never know when something could happen and you need to be prepared for the unexpected,” she said. Impaired ATV drivers is another police concern. ATV drivers are subject to the same rules of the road as any other driver.

R AESIDE

Kicking the habit It wasn’t long ago that smoking was not only a tolerated habit, but was also encouraged as an acceptable way to unwind from the stress of the day. From airplanes to bars and restaurants, people from every socio-economic background were targeted by tobacco companies selling the idea of smoking. When studies began to prove the link between smoking and major health problems such as heart disease, lung cancer and stroke, it was too late to stop smoking from becoming part of our culture. To this day, smoking is still regarded by medical definitions as a lifestyle choice rather than an addiction. But an initiative from the B.C. government aims to reduce smoking and its effects that cost the economy billions in lost wages and health-care expenses annually. Premier Christy Clark announced that smoking cessation tools such as nicotine patches and gum would be paid for under the province’s prescription drug program. While critics decry the move as political posturing from a new premier trying to win not only a byelection but soon a provincial election, it is a step in the right direction to reducing smoking. Over the next four months, Clark will develop the program further by consulting with other stakeholder groups. Studies show that people who invest financially in their own treatment are more successful, which could indicate a rebate upon successful completion of a program might be more effective. Further support, like counselling for behavioural and emotional triggers – having that cup of coffee with your mid-morning smoke – would also help British Columbians kick the habit for good. ~ Black Press

B.C. V IEWS

Stick men and straw men debate the HST VICTORIA – By now you’ve probably been exposed to the B.C. government’s “stick man” ad campaign to raise awareness of the harmonized sales tax. Stick men, or rather stick persons, sort out conflicting claims about the tax by going to the B.C. government’s website to get an accurate summary of what is and isn’t costing them more. Later versions will no doubt feature stick persons checking their mail for brochures offering arguments for and against the HST, and of course, those all-important mailin ballots that will arrive in June. This is an urgent pre-requisite to an informed vote. Anyone who listens in to a telephone town hall or phone-in show, or gets reader feedback such as I receive, knows that the basic facts are still widely misunderstood. So what does the NDP opposition focus on? The ads cost $5 million, grumbles NDP finance

critic Bruce Ralston. Add that to town halls and mailers and the referendum funding boils down to $7 million for pro-HST and a mere $250,000 for the FightHST effort. This is a classic “straw man” argument, where one sets up a false premise and then knocks it down. The ads do not advocate, they merely Tom inform. FLETCHER Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson propped up the NDP’s oldest scarecrow, that big “Liberal donor corporations” are the main beneficiaries of the HST. This is a vital point for rural B.C., which depends on resource industries with huge machinery investments, and he has it exactly wrong. In fact the entire ‘big business benefits most from HST’ narrative

is false. Vancouver tax lawyer David Robertson points out that this is one of the “myths and misrepresentations” propagated by Bill Vander Zalm, who has effectively set NDP tax policy since their limping retreat on the carbon tax. In 24 pages, Robertson has written the clearest analysis I’ve seen so far, including a thorough demolition of Vander Zalm’s crude scare campaign known as FightHST, which has singled out banks and large resource companies. Robertson notes that banks are actually worse off. “…unlike most businesses, banks, financial institutions and insurance companies cannot recover GST/HST they pay on expenses,” he writes. They actually pay more under HST than they did under the old provincial sales tax (PST). As for FightHST’s other specified villains, “large corporations”

and “large resource companies,” their machinery and production equipment were long ago exempted from sales tax. No change there. “What the PST legislation did not contain were PST exemptions aimed specifically at small, independent businesses,” Robertson writes. “So construction workers like welders, plumbers, electricians and other tradespersons had to pay an additional seven per cent PST on their work trucks, tools and equipment that they used to earn a living; retailers and corner store operators had to pay an additional seven per cent on their shelving, refrigerators and cash registers; accountants and other professionals had to pay PST on their office furniture, computers and software; truckers had to pay an additional seven per cent PST on their truck tractors and trailers …” and so forth.

This is what the HST fixes. Obviously, Big Labour doesn’t like all these independent contractors. Therefore the NDP must also “fight” HST. I’ve mentioned before that the NDP-Vander Zalm axis of nonsense wants to deprive the poor of a modest tax shift in their favour, paid for by voluntary purchases of more affluent consumers. I’ve talked about the trend towards self-employment and small business as the Canadian economy adapts in a fast-changing world. You may not like that trend, and you may wish that everyone could have a union job with an employersubsidized pension. That’s not what is happening today.

Patio perfect for the summer

perfume, but its white flowers add a very different look to planters and ground beds. The blues will always be my favourite, but in the right situation, the old fashioned white varieties can provide quite a classy look. When folks ask for a flowering shrub that blooms all summer with a nice perfume, one plant leaps to mind - the Butterfly Bush or buddleia. Some species can be invasive but the great news is there are now many new varieties that are sterile and do not pose this very important

environmental concern. A Proven Winner introduction, Buddleia x ‘Blue Chip’ from the ‘Lo & Behold’ series is the first miniature (24-30”, 61-76cm) sterile variety. Hardy to zone 5, it requires little pruning or deadheading and blooms and reblooms all summer until frost. Its fragrant lavender-blue flowers will add a nice perfume to our gardens and patios all summer and of course, attract both butterflies and hummingbirds. I love the fact it grows well in containers and is a wonderful complement

to so many trailing and upright annuals, perennials and vines. ‘Lo & Behold’ was the top buddleia at the RHS Wisley Gardens and won the gold medal at Plantarium in 2009. An often overlooked fragrant plant is Spanish Broom (Spartium junceum). This tender zone 7 plant needs a protected sunny dry spot, but will bloom with huge fragrant yellow pea-like flowers from early summer through autumn. It has a wonderful perfume that seems to carry throughout our patios and gardens. Spartium does very well in containers or in the ground at the edge of patios. It has virtually no leaves, but its rush-like stems make interesting focal points. It’s a ‘must have’ plant.

Summertime in our gardens, whenever it comes, should be the ultimate outdoor sensory retreat. The wonderful long evenings on the deck or patio should be the antidote to the stress we all feel during our busy days. The big question is can our decks, patios and gardens meet the challenge? Summer colour and how we blend analogous tones together is very important, but fragrance is perhaps the most important when it comes to creating that sensory refill. Ironically, most of the colour with which we surround ourselves has little perfume. It’s time to add the fragrance! As easy as it sounds, finding lasting perfume is a more of a challenge than most of us think. Finding plants that will accommodate sun or shade, be compatible with other plants and continue to perfume all summer is possible, but we all need to think out of the ‘flower box’ just a little. Heliotrope (Heliotropium arborescens) is one of the most universal of all summer blooming plants. However, not all heliotropes are created equal. Some of the new varieties are far more compact, but have little perfume. The very best is still the ‘nameless’ old fashioned variety that has that lingering scent of baby powder. It’s versatile enough to be used in hanging baskets, containers or in bed plantings. It will, as most heliotrope varieties, do well in shade or sun. If you need it to be more compact and well behaved, simply pinch it back a few times. My second favourite variety is ‘Sachet’. It is a very dark foliaged variety with fragrant deep lavender-purple blooms. Its rich dark foliage provides wonderful contrast with pink, white or silver flowers and with other foliage. It’s also a compact grower and well suited to containers and plantings. ‘Blue Marine’, another compact dark foliaged variety, produces fragrant deep blue flowers about 10cm across and grows only 25cm (10 inches) tall and wide. Like ‘Sachet’, it’s a rich deep contrast plant to other colours. White heliotrope provides slightly less

SUMMER from p17 Another under used plant for our patios is lavender. You need a hot sunny spot with very good drainage and a trained sense not to overwater! The fragrance of lavender is so nice to enjoy all year round, even to brush up against or simply rub your hands over the foliage. When they flower with the blue, lavender, pink or white flowers, they put on quite a show. Today, there are a number of lavender varieties from which to choose. The hardiest, of course, is the ‘angustifolia’, particularly ‘Munstead’ (zone 5) with its very compact habit. French Lavender, L. dentate candicans, has become very popular because of not only its fragrant foliage but also its wide range of new flower colours that persist well into the summer. The sweetest smelling flowers are the English Spike Lavender, L. latifolia. It’s hardy to zone 5 and has very fragrant flowers all summer. My favourite lavender, however, is Spanish Lavender, L. stoechas. Its huge soft lavender to rich purple blooms are perfumed and so prolific they just keep coming all summer long and even into the fall with a little pruning. Most are tender (zone 7), but the new introduction, called ‘Anouk’, will survive most winters with ease. Its flowers are huge and tend to bounce around in the wind like huge purple bumblebees. Rosemary is another summer patio and garden plant that is not used nearly enough in summer planters and garden beds. Like lavender, it needs a very sunny, well drained soil to keep looking great and growing well. Rosmarinus officinalis ‘Tuscan Blue’ is a rigid upright with very aromatic foliage and clear blue flowers that persist into the summer. R.o. ‘Huntington Carpet’ is one of the best trailing varieties that looks great spilling over walls, baskets and containers. It doesn’t flower long, but its habit is very attractive. Rosemary is a zone 8 plant. R.o. ‘Arp’ is reputed to be the hardiest (zone 6), but I’ve had all these varieties summering outside our patio for eight years now in a protected, sunny, well drained location. It would be hard to inspire a summer garden without it. If you do a little searching, you’ll discover many other plants that have a delightful summer perfume, like fragrant hostas, dwarf ‘Honey Baby’ honeysuckle, perfumed roses, clethra (Summersweet) and summer blooming Jasminum officinale and so many more wonderful garden jewels. Fragrance makes a huge difference to the enjoyment and appreciation of our summer garden and to our senses. Please try to include even a little fragrance in each bed or container

Contemporary art at the Whitechapel Gallery John Masters Meridian Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Group L O N D O N â&#x20AC;&#x201C; T h e Whitechapel Galler y doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make contemporary art any easier to understand, but it at least makes it as physically accessible as possible: free admission and a Tube stop literally at its door. The gallery remains true to its founding motto: â&#x20AC;&#x153;art for all.â&#x20AC;? Its creators even went so far as to forbid steps from the street level to the gallery for fear that they could be misread as trying to put art on a pedestal. Visitors walk straight in off Whitechapel High Street with no more to-do than if they were entering a Banana Republic. In fact, likening it to a Banana Republic is something of a step up for the Whitechapel. Prior to its two-year, ÂŁ13.5-million makeover, completed in 2009, entering the gallery was more akin to walking into, oh, maybe a Markâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Work Warehouse. The upgrade, in addition to giving the Whitechapel lovely polished wood floors, has also added 78 per cent more gallery space to the original 1901 building by taking over the adjacent Victorian-era public library. But while the venue has gotten a bit more chic, the goal of art for all remains the same. For more than a century the Whitechapel has been introducing London to artists whose works are either little known or little seen in the British capital. It gave Jackson Pollack his first major British show, premiered Mark Rothko in the United Kingdom, debuted David Hockney and introduced London audiences to Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Frida Kahlo. The only showing Picassoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s masterpiece Guernica has ever had in Britain was at the Whitechapel in 1939. Under current director Iwona Blazwick one of its

emphases is on mounting major mid-life retrospectives of artists who are highly regarded in critical circles, but fly largely beneath the general publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s radar. Germanyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Isa Genzken is an example. That makes the Whitechapel one of the two top places in London to go to see professionally curated contemporary art. The other is the Tate Modern (where Blazwick used to work). The Tate wins hands down in terms of sizeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the entire Whitechapel would fit several times into the Tateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Turbine Hallâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;but that sort of bulk can be intimidating. As can five million visitors a year (thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how many the Tate Modern gets). The Whitechapelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scale is much more human. The gallery is also closer to street level in other ways. The neighbourhood itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in, in the east London borough of Tower Hamlets, was poor a century ago and is

still poor today, although now with a bouillabaisse of races, most notably Bangladeshi. The gallery has outreach programs that encourage locals to learn about artâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and now it has the facilities to do it properly. And for wouldbe connoisseurs, it offers courses in how to buy contemporary works. Perhaps most importantly, the Whitechapel has, living within a mile radius of it, and estimated 10,000 artists. Their creations may well be displayed in one of the nine galleries, and a visitor may brush shoulders

with some of them in the new restaurant or bookshop.

Fraser River Salmon Table Society

Kick Otfhf e t1- 8 JuDn ayligh 2 PM

at Main Beach, Cultus Lake

French association wants to grow Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The Fraser Valley Francophone Association is looking for people who enjoy speaking French and sharing francophone culture. A new executive is now in place and they’re looking for new members to reinvigorate the group, said FVFA president René Garceau. “We would like to

keep the French language alive here in the Chilliwack area,” said Garceau. They’re also seeking volunteers to help organize social events like the annual Fete St. Jean event in Chilliwack on June 23/24, as well as responding to the collective socio-cultural and educational needs of members. “We estimate there are approximately 250 francophone families in Chilliwack alone,” said Garceau.

The aim of the association is to promote French language and culture across the valley, while at the same time, uniting francophones, whose mother tongue is French, as well as francophiles, who speak French as bilingual anglophones from Quebec and other parts of Canada, for example. The non-profit group has been around since 2007, and a close-knit community has been established around the

La Verendr ye school on Lickman Road. But new blood is needed. “We want to see the association flourish,” Garceau enthused. Many have heard about the Coquitlam community of Maillardville, but few are aware that the francophone presence in B.C. actually dates back to when explorer Alexander Mackenzie crossed the Rockies in 1783, accompanied by six French Canadians. In 1805, Simon Fraser and about 20 French speaking started leading expeditions and fort building for the North West Company. All these years later, there’s still a strong tradition of the francophone fact in the valley, particularly when the CFB Chilliwack was active. Annual FVFA membership is $20, $30 for families and $10 for youth/students 18 to 25. Contact the group by email to assfvf@gmail. com, or by mail to P.O. Box 2598, Sardis Station Main, Sardis, B.C. V2R 1A8 or by phone 604-858-7697.

Feinberg 604.702.5573 • jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Ray de Kroon (left) and Steve Martens are the creators of the musical ‘Misty Hill Automaton!’. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Misty Hill Automaton! a cutting-edge cavort Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Imagine a theatrical mash-up of sci-fi B-movies from the 1950s, and a Shakespearean love triangle — complete with snappy soundtrack. That’s a taste of the musical Misty Hill Automaton! opening on Wednesday, May 25 at the G.W. Graham theatre. The story follows a crooked mayor, some teenage bullies, a struggling single mom, a rigged small-town election, and some space-age technology. Singer/songwriter Steve Martens of Chilliwack, always dreamed of writing a hit production. “I wanted to create a musical that people would not be able to resist coming to see,” said the director and producer. Why a musical?

“Because the highs are so much higher and the lows so much lower,” he replied. “The audience’s emotional investment in a musical is so much deeper, more than with a play or just music alone. Together everything has more punch.” Martens came up with the original plot line back in 2004, put some songs together and wrote “a really bad script,” all while fronting the indie-funk band LoFi Love. He set it in the fictional town of Misty Hill during the 50s, the golden age of science fiction. One of the characters is an evil mayor who’s trying to get re-elected, with the aid of his trusty sheriff. The project languished for more than a year until Martens, a married father of four with a full-time job, met freelance writer Ray de Kroon of Abbotsford. They chatted about the project over coffee on the Sumas Prairie, and the cre-

ative spark was lit. “Everyone in the coffee shop was talking about the weather, and the Canucks, and we were talking about musicals,” he remembered. “Some farmers were talking about the price of beef,” added de Kroon. The idea Martens pitched was intriguing, but a little different. Fast forward a couple of years and the entire effort to write and mount the production has been a labour of “blood, sweat and tears,” said the writer. “It’s a different animal, a musical production,” he said. “The music can arouse so many different emotions. The visuals, the music, the costumes, they’re all big.” The action takes place in Coal Vale Valley, focusing in on the town of Misty Hill, which is like the imaginary town of Springfield from The Simpsons’ fame.

“It’s a theoretical place in the Midwest, but it’s more Canadian and B.C. than some would imagine, and the reference to a valley is deliberate.” Of course, any resemblance to people living or dead is entirely a coincidence, they say, but there’s ample room for spoof and parody. “And even if you’re reading this and thinking, ‘Seriously? A musical?’ Believe me, it’s so much more,” de Kroon continued. “Misty Hill is the musical for those who love them, and for who think they’re lame.” Next Wednesday the curtain rises with five shows between May 25 and May 29. “Ray has done an amazing job with the script,” said Martens. “When you watch the show there is so much going on.” Continued: MUSICAL/ p26

Chance to steal a peek at Maria In The Shower Wanna see Maria In The Shower? Make a night of it at JD’s Lounge at the Best Western Country Inn on Thursday May 26, 2011. Maria In The Shower is a four-man band hail-

ing from East Van, with an insatiably eclectic sound of cabaret, folk, gypsy-minstrel, oldtime, rockabilly, and swing (to name just a few). “I find it really hard to talk about styles or

genres... I’m a big fan of Duke Ellington, who said, ‘There are only two kinds of music: good and bad music.’ And I like both in the right amounts. I think they both have their place,’ says guitarist

Martin Reisle. The quartet will be celebrating the release of their latest album, The Hidden Sayings of Maria In The Shower with a 25-stop tour starting from Vancouver, B.C. up Yellowknife

The impetus for the all-original production started with just one song called The Collection, Martens said. “It’s that ‘whoa moment’ and it arrives in Act 2,” he said. “A single moment in the show, that’s where it all began.” The musical will showcase a live band, choreography by Kaela Large, and a cast of 18, many of whom are students from the area. The Stirs front man Kyle Schick plays the lead role of Edwin, a brilliant yet shy student. Sardis actor Jacklyn Kirsch is Sadie, the elusive girl of Edwin’s dreams. When Edwin finally finds the courage to ask her out, sinister gears are set in motion until it seems nearly everything in the quiet town of Misty Hill stands in their way.

to come play at JD’s Lounge last November. She’s very excited to have them perform again. “[They’re] just different than any of the other bands we’ve had before,” Kardashinski says. “They dress up and they act on stage. It’s not just them playing music, it’s a full show,” she says. Riesle’s favourite part about being in the band is being able to share their music with so many people. “Having this as a job, to bring music and theatrical expression to large audiences... and to connect with [them] in such a strangely intimate way, is really magical,” he says. Maria In The Shower takes the stage at JD’s Lounge at 8 p.m. with no cover charge for this 19+ event.

enough to keep audiences captivated, the band members aren’t afraid to step things up with vaudeville-inspired themes, creating an enticingly visual performance with a variety of costumes, including mime outfits and early 1900s period clothing. “We read a lot about [the vaudeville] era of performance and sort of try to live almost in a manner that feels like we’re still there. The manner of dress and costumes that we present is also generally fairly inspired by that era as well,” Reisle says. “They’re very theatrical in nature,” he says of their performances.

Moody Blues song, Nights in White Satin. First consider the upcoming debuts of young Chilliwack musicians, soprano Nina Payne and pianist Janelle Van Maren, who will be the very essence of youthful exuberance when they take the stage as winners of the Young Artist Solo Competition. “It’s the first time any of these up-andcoming young musicians have played with a full orchestra behind them,” said CSO principal conductor Clyde Mitchell. The first movement of Mozart’s, eighth piano concerto, Concerto in C Major is the piece van Maren has chosen to perform. “For Janelle, at 20 to play a movement of Mozart will be seven minutes of glory. It’s a tremendous honour. And for Nina at 16

also to sing both some Mozart and Lehár is a pretty major debut.” Payne will be singing Zerlina’s aria: “Batti, batti o bel Masetto” from Don Giovanni K. 527 – an opera in two acts with music by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and with an Italian libretto by Lorenzo Da Ponte. The concert promises to be a lyrical and happy one, ideal for a spring concert in May, said Mitchell. “These will be very familiar songs to many people.” Resident conductor Paula De Witt-Krause agreed. “We’ve chosen songs everyone will love.” Expect a preview of a brand-new ensemble. “We’re introducing our new resident woodwind quintet, which are preparing for their launch this fall.” The Shostakovich Jazz Suite is one for those who love the sound of the saxophone, an instrument rarely spotlighted in orchestral music.

Listen for the first movement of Mozart’s 25th Symphony as well as the famous Ballsirenen Watzer from Franz Lehar’s Operetta, the Merry Widow. The a cappella singers are ready to sing two simply gorgeous pieces, said DeWitt Krause. “The show choir will be presenting gems Beethoven’s Figlio Perduto. Many will recall this from the recent movie the King’s Speech.” Mitchell called that one “heart-wrenching.” Many fans will revel in a 60s classic made famous by the Moody Blues, Nights in White Satin, with members of the Ladies’ Show Choir and Orchestra. “I heard it sung before by Pandora’s Vox, and when I heard that arrangement, I wanted to do it immediately.” They’ll also be singing a pretty piece featuring the CSO Harp, entitled; We’re Walking In The Air, from the movie, The Snowman. The audience will hear the chorus singing the beloved Lacrymosa from Mozar t’s Requiem. The young at heart will thrilled when they hear some tunes from Pirates. Once again a CSO program for everyone to savour. The concert will end with the Chorus and Payne joining forces on the famous “Vilja Song” ‘Es lebt’ eine Vilja, ein Waldmägdelein’ from Franz Lehar’s Operetta, the Merry Widow. • CSO Spring Concert, Saturday, May 28, at First Avenue Christian Assembly, 7:30 p.m. $25/ $20/ $15, at the Chilliwack Progress.

‘Kids versus Cops’ tournament: A game where everybody wins Robert Freeman The Progress It’s a sad thing when a boy who made a decision that might put him on the path to a better life can’t be named in a newspaper story for fear of ridicule. But it doesn’t overshadow the boy’s decision to cut his hair and quit smoking, so he could play more basketball after taking part in an RCMP “kids versus cops” tournament at the Tzeachten Community Hall last month. The boy told RCMP organizers after the tournament

that he had “never had so much fun in his life.” “If we, as the RCMP, can touch just one life, it makes everything we do on a daily basis worthwhile,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said. RCMP constables John Ryan and Gabe McBride from the First Nations Policing Unit organized the tournament. Students from Sts’ailes Community School, Seabird Community School and Sto:lo Alternate took part in what McBride hopes will become an annual event. “It was our first time, but we heard a lot of positive comments from players and coach-

es,” McBride said. “We’d like it to be annual, and add softball, soccer and floor hockey tournaments.” Hollingsworth said the impact of the tournament on the youth who participated was “enormous.” “The scores of the games and who won were not what was important, it was the effect on the First Nation players that made the tournament a success,” she said. Sto:lo elders were also “extremely appreciative” of the RCMP’s efforts toward the young people, she said.

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Provincial run hits Charles Best bump Eric J. Welsh, The Progress In Sardis secondar y school’s run to the senior girls soccer provincials, just about everything has gone as planned. An unbeaten regular season (7-0-1) has been followed by playoff success. The Falcons came into this week ranked seventh in the province, guaranteed a provincial berth regardless of what happens from here on out in the Fraser Valley playoffs. So, in the grand scheme of things, a 3-2 home field loss to the Charles Best Blue Devils on Wednesday should be taken for what it was, a loss that doesn’t have an awful lot to do with anything beyond provincial seeding. And if the Falcons are as good as they hope they are, it shouldn’t much matter whether they enter the yearend tournament as the top seed or the bottom seed. Still, for a team that has grown used to thwomping hapless opponents, Wednesday’s game did reinforce one valuable lesson. At this time of year, anything less than the A game won’t get it done. “We need to know there are aggressive teams and we need to come out strong and not give up,” said midfield Dani Rushke afterwards, talking about lessons learned. “We need to be first to the ball at all times and always have possession. That’s something I hope we all learned today.” The Blue Devils came through the AAA regular season with a 6-0-2 record, playing fast and physical soccer to place second in the north zone standings behind Centennial. They are good, and in the opening minutes the two teams went back and forth on the Sardis secondary school pitch. It was the Falcons opening the scoring at the 25 minute mark on a goal by Alyssia Mitchell.

Josie Amyotte-Kilger did some great work to set it up, darting down the right wing and cutting into the middle with a sliding shot. The ball was blocked,

but Mitchell collected the rebound and floated a rainbow over the head of the Charles Best keeper. The lead last just two minutes.

The Blue Devils stormed into the Sardis goal mouth and caught the Falcons watching the ball as Arianna Johnston evened the score. Johnston was a load for

the Falcons defence, using her big frame to win ball battles and maintain possession. “I play against a lot of girls who are all in their 20’s and pretty big,” said Rushke, a recent University of the Fraser Valley signee who is used to tough opposition at the metro soccer level. “But some of our smaller girls, I could tell they weren’t used to facing someone like her.” Sardis had a chance to regain the lead at the 33 minute mark. A Charles Best hand-ball gave Rushke a free kick from 25 yards out. Her boot evaded the Blue Devil wall but not the keeper, who took it square in the stomach to keep the score knotted at 1-1. The Falcons kept coming, and forged ahead with three minutes remaining in the first half. Again, it was AmyotteKilger as the playmaker, zipping down the right wing and sailing the ball across the Charles Best box. Madison Welsh was waiting on the other side, punching the ball into the goal to give her team a one-goal half-time cushion. “I actually thought we played pretty good in the first half, worked hard and kept the ball on the ground,” Rushke said. “They were an aggressive team but we were calm. We just had some unlucky bounces that cost us.” Rushke’s Falcons were warned at half-time that the Blue Devils would come out gunning in the second half. Whether they didn’t listen or just didn’t have the motivation and energy to match, the locals were on their heels for 30 of the final 40 minutes. Charles Best took seven and a half minutes to draw even on a goal by Ali Trenter. The Blue Devils striker scored off a free kick from 25 yards out, fitting the ball just inside the left goal post. Trenter had another free kick minutes later, rocketing a shot over the cross-bar from 40 yards out. Natalia Kacszmarek had a

couple nice chances for the Blue Devils, creating havoc on the left wing. But it was Marla McIlveen producing the winning goal for Charles Best with eight minutes remaining. Sardis keeper Danika Ferris, so strong all season, misjudged McIlveen’s shot from 40 yards out, watching it sail just inside the right goal post. The Blue Devils shut things down over the remaining eight minutes, plus one minute of injury time, completing the upset. A winning result would have had the Falcons playing for third place in the Fraser Valley and a higher provincial seed. The losing result relegated them to a fifth place game on Thursday (after Progress press deadlines). “I guess we’ll just have to go a bit harder at provincials and kick everyone’s butt,” Rushke said. One of just six Grade 12 players on the surprisingly youthful Sardis roster, Rushke is excited about the idea of ending her high school career on a high note. After provincials, Rushke and Ferris will be moving on to post secondary careers at UFV. Another Falcon, Janelle Neil, has been in contact with the University of British Columbia-Okanagan. “We didn’t make it to provincials in Grade 10 and I didn’t play last year because of all the school work,” Rushke noted. “So it would be fantastic to do it this year. I want it really bad because we’re like a family and all these girls deserve it.” In her heart, Rushke believes the Falcons have what it takes to take the title, and she can’t wait to get to Kamloops. Provincials run June 2-4 at South Kamloops secondary school. “I want to go all the way and honestly I think we can” she said. “Charles Best is going to be seeded ahead of us, and we could have easily beaten them. If that’s the measuring stick, I think we have a very good chance.”

McNeill makes his mark the Burnaby Mountain Selects, McNeill was the only player from the eastern Fraser Valley to make the grade. The final roster includes players from Juan de Fuca (five), New Westminster (five), Coquitlam (three), Port Coquitlam (two), Delta, Surrey, Port Moody, Burnaby and Semiahmoo.

McNeill tried unsuccessfully in the past to make the Team B.C. peewees, making this selection all the sweeter. His team will be coached by Kamloops native Doug Clark, who has led teams into this tournament three times (winning two silvers and a bronze). Clark has been involved

in one way or another with the Team B.C. Box Lacrosse program since 2004. The tournament will take place in Whitby, Ontario July 31-Aug. 6 and McNeill’s crew will be expected to do well. B.C. and Ontario are perennial powerhouses at the event, with Ontario taking gold in 2008, 2009 and 2010.

Local golfers in the mix The fifth leg of the B.C. Golf Zone 3 Junior Spring Tour was held at Chilliwack’s Royalwood Golf and RV Resort last Sunday. The course lived up to its reputation for having some of the best greens in the valley, thanks to the hard work of Greens Superintendant Douggie Shilleto. The weather had been a factor in the first four tour stops, and Sunday’s round was the same, wet and cool. That didn’t stop the 43

players from shooting well. First place went to Marcus Brown of Hazelmere (Surrey) shooting an impressive one-under-par 71. Second place went to Tony Ko who shot an evenpar 72. Jake Scarrow of Sandpiper Golf Club (Harrison Mills) shot a 75 to tie for sixth. Scott Gibson and Connor McLellan, both representing the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club, shot very respectable 79’s while Steven Scurr carded an 82. The final tour stop is

this weekend as the juniors tee off at the Mission Golf Course. Full results can be found at the BC Golf web site at http://www.bcgazone3. org/. ● Juniors interested in working on their game can sign up for a clinic at the Royalwood Golf Course, running Tuesday evenings from May 31 through June.

Walker mows ’em down for another no-hitter Black Press A week after throwing a rare no-hitter, Fraser Valley Chiefs pitcher Ty Walker did it again. The 18-year-old from Sardis mowed down 21 of the 23 North Shore Twins batters he faced Saturday afternoon at Whalley Ball Park, earning himself and the Chiefs a 2-0 win in the first game of a B.C. Premier Baseball League (BCPBL) dou-

bleheader. The Chiefs swept North Shore, winning the second game 5-2. It was the fourth win in as many starts this season for Walker, who attends the baseball academy at Sands Secondary School in North Delta. The six-foot-two left-hander also no-hit the first place Langley Blaze, nine days after allowing the Abbotsford Cardinals just two hits in a 7-0 complete-game win.

Walker finds himself among the league leaders in most pitching categories. His 42 strikeouts are tied for first in the BCPBL, he leads the league with three shutouts, is tied for second with four wins, and is fourth in ERA (earned run average) at .81. His batting average against is a microscopic .037. Walker did get some defensive suppor t Saturday. Third baseman

Braeden Allemann dove to snare a ball hit down the baseline, then fired it to first base for an out. And catcher Brody Hawkins chased a bunt down the third baseline before his throw beat the batter by a step. But aside from those two outstanding plays, Walker “was a surgeon,” said Chiefs head coach Ernie Hawkins. “He walked just one batter, and hit another.” The Chiefs scored the only two runs they would need in the fourth

The Sudden Impact Paddling Club’s junior team, Liquid Silver, competed in the 2011 Dragon Zone Junior Regatta at False Creek May 7. Working through rough weather, the team maintained good spirits to capture a third place finish in the A final. Liquid Silver started the day in the thick of a seven boat 200 metre sprint, placing second with a time of 1:04.77. The second race was scheduled to be another 200m sprint, but a collision with another boat sidelined the local crew. Liquid Silver rebounded with a dominant win in their third race, leaving their closest opponent four seconds behind as they blew through the 500m

credited with RBIs, as Fraser Valley improved their record this season to 9-3 (won-lost), just two and a half games back of the 14-3 Blaze. “With the returning players we had on defence, I figured we would be a top four team,” said Hawkins. “But 9-3? Probably not. Our pitching has been a plus, but we could use a few more timely hits. We’ve been leaving a few guys on base. But I’m happy with 9-3, for sure.”

Quick silver course. In the A final, Liquid Silver finished in 2:53.69, third in the field of 14 teams that started the day. The team earned themselves $150 in Dragon Dollars to spend at the 2011 Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival, taking place on False Creek June 11-12. At last year’s Alcan regatta, the team placed second in the junior B final, losing by less than half a second. The goal this year is to take top spot in the A final. Liquid Silver practices at Cultus Lake every Monday and Wednesday from 5:45 to 7:30 p.m. and is open to anyone between the ages of 12-18. The team is looking to have a summer program this year if there is enough interest. Get info at http:// suddenimpactpaddlingclub.com/.

Fraser Valley added a second win over North Shore in game two, with Dylan Rehmke getting the victory after throwing six innings of shutout baseball, allowing just three hits while striking out five batters. Murphy, Hawkins and Justin Pilgrim were

VANDEBEEK Bert

Bert Vandebeek went to be with his heavenly Father on May 18th in Chilliwack, BC at the age of 66 years VANDEBEEK after a courageous battle with a brain tumor. Bert was born in Holland and made Canada his permanent home shortly after he married Bep, his wife and best friend for the last forty years. Together, they made Chilliwack their family home in 1973. There are so many good friends, places and pastimes that Bert enjoyed and were part of what made him one of a kind. Yet, ﬁrst and foremost, Bert was a loving husband, a selﬂess dad and gentle ‘opa’. He will be profoundly missed by Bep; his daughters; Lara, Ett, and Chris (Hans) and son, Will (Michelle) and his four grandkids; Matt, Leah, Mila and Kael. Bert’s life will continue to be an example of faith, integrity and resilience to his family and lifelong friends. A memorial service will be held at 1:30 pm on Wednesday, May 25th at Chilliwack Alliance Church, 8700 Young Rd., Chilliwack, with reception to follow.
