Sex charges dropped against Chilliwack teacher Robert Freeman The Progress Chilliwack elementary school teacher Jason Epp is a free man after all sex-related charges against him were stayed by Crown counsel in provincial court Wednesday.

Epp, 40, was arrested on May 12, 2010, shortly after allegations of sexual misconduct were made by two students at Sardis elementary school.

He was originally charged with six counts of sexual assault, sexual interference of a person under 16 and touching a young person for sexual purpose.

But all those charges were dropped Wednesday following further RCMP interviews with 130-140 students, parents and school staff.

Crown counsel Wendy van Tongeren Harvey told the court that as the police investigation progressed, questions arose and the Crown concluded it had a “legal, moral and ethical duty” to stay the charges.

Van Tongeren Harvey declined to detail those questions outside the courtroom, and referred reporters to justice branch staff in Victoria.

Defense counsel Claire Hatcher also declined comment on details of how the Crown’s case against her client unravelled.

But she said Epp and his family “maintained his innocence since the beginning” and are “now looking forward to moving on with the rest of their lives.”

The charges and the publicity have been “immensely stressful” on Epp, she said, but she could not comment on her client’s future as a teacher now that the charges have been dropped.

Chilliwack school district officials and others at the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association and the B.C. College of Teachers did not return phone calls for comment by press time.

Marking 100 years of fire fighting history Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The first 100 years of the Chilliwack Fire Department is now captured in book form and ready for sale, said Fire Chief Rick Ryall.

“We’re very happy with how this turned out,” he said, about the newly published book, Chilliwack Fire Department 1906-2006: The First 100.

A short presentation was held at the fire hall Wednesday to thank the many book partners, from Chilliwack Museum and Archives staff, to former fire chiefs Tom Beer, Bill Chambers and Wayne Green.

The project’s genesis was actually during the department’s 100th anniversary year in 2006, Ryall said.

“I tried to do some of the leg work finding photographs and researching the history, but I found there was very little written about the Chilliwack Fire Department and surprisingly few photos.”

The history detective work on the book began in earnest.

Literally hundreds of Chilliwack residents have historical connections to the department, from serving either in a career or paid-on-call capacity, since the first days with 26 members.

The past fire chiefs were asked to research and record the history, and were assisted in recording stories of courage and derring-do, by longtime Progress and West Coast Farmer contributor Grant Ullyot.

“I asked the past fire chiefs if they were interested in trying to reconstruct the first 100 years, and they agreed to come in and help,” Ryall said.

Then it needed some structural and organizational help.

The book was edited and composed by Shannon Bettles (Anderson) of the Chilliwack Archives, with Ron Denman and Paul Ferguson of the Chilliwack Museum.

After several editing sessions and reconfigurations of the book layout, it was completed.

“It’s taken a long time and was a fairly drawn out process,” he said.

“But we think this will be of great interest to anyone whose family members ever went through the department, and we know there are so many locally.”

The book features a mix of photographs and texts, and is selling for $25. There was a small print run of 50 books initially, but they’ll be taking orders for more at: 604-792-8713. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Raw milk farm searched by health officials Robert Freeman The Progress A search warrant was executed by health officials last week at the Chilliwack dairy farm at the centre of the raw milk controversy in B.C. Nothing was seized during the Aug. 25 search, but Fraser Health Authority spokesman Roy ThorpeDorward said photographs of the farm on Prairie Central Road are being reviewed to determine if a permanent court injunction issued last year against distribution of raw milk is being obeyed by the current farm owner.

He said the search did not arise from any complaints, but a warrant was obtained after FHA officials were denied entry for a “routine inspection” on Aug. 12.

Last year, after co-op co-founder Alice Jongerden was found in contempt of court for disobeying a court injunction and distributing raw milk labelled “Not For Human Consumption” to shareholders, operations of the “Home On The

Range” farm was handed over to Michael Schmidt, a raw milk advocate from Ontario, and re-named “Our Cows.”

He continued distributing raw milk to investors in the “cowshare” co-op - not as food, but as a line of cosmetics, which falls under federal regulation.

“We take dividends from our jointly-held asset in the form of fluid milk labelled Enzymatic Bath Lotion,” co-op co-founder Gordon Watson said in an internet blog.

But in a telephone interview Tuesday he said the herd is private property, owned by the shareholders, and what they do with the milk is none of the health authority’s business.

“The FHA will say they anticipate that people will drink it,” he said. “I say it doesn’t matter what they do with it.”

“They can paint with it - or they can drink it, if it suits them.”

Watson made no bones about what he does with his milk.

“I do drink my milk,” he said.

Watson said he doesn’t want

a court fight, but he would “welcome” a prosecution, if it’s held “in open court and done properly.”

“I’m convinced what I’m doing is legal,” he said.

Watson argued that B.C. health authorities issue only a public “alert” when health hazards like tainted seafood are discovered, but shut down operations like raw milk cowshares in which members are fully aware of the risk.

Raw milk is sold legally in Washington state, he pointed out, “but up here it becomes a biohazard.”

“It’s not about health, it’s about the milk marketing monopoly,” he said.

B.C. Milk Industry Act regulations describes milk that has not been pasteurized at a licenced dairy plant as a health hazard, and the Fraser Health Authority is responsible for enforcement of the act and its regulations under the B.C Health Act. There are cowshares operating legally in Ontario, but legislation differs in the two provinces,

Raw milk marked ‘Not for human consumption.’ JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

according to a B.C. Supreme Court justice.

“Raw milk is deemed to be a health hazard by regulation, and section 15 of the Public Health Act ‘prohibits a person from willingly causing a health hazard,’” Justice Nathan Smith said in his reasons for judgment in the Jongerden contempt of court case.

He said the injunction was “not directed solely at distribution to

Building relationships through barbecue Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s like night and day.

Years after Sto:lo fishing nets were accused of being “walls of death” in the Fraser River, and violent run-ins were more commonplace with federal fishery officers, a fragile peace has been restored on the mighty river.

Cheam First Nation hosted its annual Building Relationships BBQ on Cheam Beach Wednesday, with a free salmon lunch and some riverside fellowship.

There were representatives from RCMP and DFO in attendance, as well as general members of the public, sport fishers and more.

“The whole rapport between the sport fishing community and First Nations is much better than it was two or three years ago,” said Rod Clapton of the B.C. Association of Drift Fishers.

He credits the hard work by members of a “conflict resolution group” set up specifically to diffuse tensions on the Fraser.

“The difference is we talk,” said Clapton. “The animosity is not there anymore. We’ve learned to respect each other.”

Ed George, president of the B.C. Wildlife Federation agreed.

“The big difference is that we’ve been talking one-on-one,”

people Ms. Jongerden knew would use it for human consumption.”

“The injunction is this case was issued to prevent conduct deemed a health hazard and was clearly intended to prevent the distribution of raw milk in circumstances where human consumption is known to be a real and substantial possibility,” the justice wrote. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

he said.

There’s no one running interference in the middle, such as DFO or the media.

“We don’t go airing our dirty laundry in public. If we have a problem we talk to the source directly,” said George.

Local resident Verna Pigou praised the event for bringing together the various groups in a relaxing way.

“It’s wonderful to be building bridges in this way,” she said.

“Everyone gets to see we’re just people, and we all have the

same dreams and goals.”

Retiree George Thiessen of Chilliwack said it was his second time at the Cheam barbecue.

“I just met the Cheam chief here, Lincoln Douglas,” he says.

“He’s a professional chuck wagon racer. I never met one before.”

He and his wife, Amy, enjoy community events and meeting new people, Thiessen added.

“It kind of gives you a different perspective.”

Barbecue organizer June Quipp said the annual event was created about five years ago, as a way to break down the barriers and change perceptions. And it’s working, she said.

They open up their fishing beach area to the public, invite them to watch the aboriginal fishing boats in the river, and enjoy BBQ salmon for lunch.

“We had a long history of conflict with the DFO, but we’re trying to change that.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com

VICTORIA – A work-to-rule campaign by public school teachers, set to begin on the first day of school, is only one dispute expected in education in the coming year.

The B.C. Teachers Federation confirmed Wednesday it will file strike notice to take effect Tuesday morning. The BCTF says phase one will be to refuse administrative duties such as meeting with principals, supervising playgrounds and writing report cards.

The union and the employers’ association are far apart on a range of issues, including salary and a list of benefit improvements sought by the BCTF. One major point in dispute is the meaning of a B.C. Supreme Court decision handed down this spring on the government’s 2002 removal of class size and composition from teacher bargaining. BCTF president Susan Lambert says the decision means the government must add $336 million to the public school budget to guarantee a level of service.

“Teachers are determined in this round of bargaining to regain those lost services, jobs and resources to meet students’ needs,” Lambert said.

Education Minister George Abbott has repeatedly said any settlement must fit with the government’s “net zero” mandate that other public service unions have already Continued: SCHOOL/ p11

Sockeye probe reports split on aquaculture risk Jeff Nagel Black Press Two researchers hired by the Cohen Inquiry have come to differing conclusions on the likelihood commercial salmon farms are seriously harming the Fraser River sockeye run.

SFU biologist Dr. Larry Dill concluded the evidence suggests the growth in fish farm production and the decline in sockeye stocks are linked, likely in concert with other marine factors.

He found the spread of disease is the most likely factor – not sea lice infestations, escaping farmed salmon or waste discharged from the farms, such as uneaten food or chemicals.

The potential damage to juvenile sockeye from the large numbers of penned Atlantic salmon they pass in the Broughton Archipelago might seem like common sense, Dill testified Monday before the commission into the decline of sockeye stocks, but

stressed his findings are far from conclusive.

“The evidence for that is there, but it’s fairly weak and uncertain,” he said. “Common sense is not always a good guide to science.”

Dill said the aquaculture industry adds new risks for migrating wild stocks.

The farms make it much easier for different incoming or outgoing generations of sockeye to pass pathogens back and forth, he said.

Dill also said the huge number of fish being farmed leads to biomagnification, where large numbers of parasites can build up, and more virulent strains of pathogens can evolve.

Dr. Don Noakes, a Thomson Rivers University professor, penned a second paper commissioned by the inquiry, and concluded none of the risk factors associated with fish farms is likely to have damaged sockeye runs and found no link between them.

He said he has concerns about the interpretation of data from

studies examining the possible link between sea lice and salmon in the Discovery Islands, which he called unlikely.

“There is no evidence that any exotic pathogens or diseases have been introduced by the salmon farming industry,” Noakes report states.

In cross-examination before the commission Monday, Noakes was pressed to admit his findings were “speculative” and water them down.

“It’s my assessment,” he maintained. “I haven’t heard anything to convince me otherwise.”

The inquiry heard that three million Atlantic salmon die each year in the floating net pens between northern Vancouver Island and the mainland, and that up to 600,000 perish from disease.

Previously, the inquiry heard geneticist Kristi Miller argue a newly detected virus could be a major factor behind the sockeye die-off, but she also conceded the evidence

so far does not suggest aquaculture is directly responsible.

Dill, Noakes and two other researchers testifying Monday agreed that wild sockeye and the aquaculture industry should be able to safely co-exist, if the farms are managed properly and steps are taken to reduce any harmful interactions between them.

Lawyers for the provincial government agreed Monday to release provincial audits of salmon farms, including data on dead and diseased fish.

That was a reversal from last week, when the provincial representative at the inquiry argued the release would not be in the public interest and could have a chilling effect on voluntary disclosure of disease outbreaks – on livestock farms as well as fish farms.

“I don’t think anybody bought that,” said Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Craig Orr, who said the provincial concession was a relief to many inquiry participants.

“It’s really important to have the audited data to examine to see whether there are problems in the data submitted by the farmers.”

Aquaculture remains the focus of the sockeye commission hearings until at least Sept. 8, before turning to issues such as water temperatures, cumulative impacts and the priorities of the Department of Fisheries and Oceans.

A net surplus of more than a million dollars is being reported by Cultus Lake Park Board officials for the first six months of 2011.

Financial highlights also included an increase to reserves, which now totals $2.48 million, above the $1.82 million mark from the previous year.

“Those two points show we’re proceeding nearly on budget and well on our way to restoring financial sustainability,” said park board chair Sacha Peter.

It’s a slow process, he acknowledged, but they’re steadily making progress, and building up fiscal reserves to a “more comfortable level.”

The highlights were from a “financial snapshot” of the budget, Peter said.

Park board commissioners decided in April they no longer had the resources to provide monthly financial statements, which became an issue of concern to some leaseholders who were asking for more accountability and transparency.

Spending outpaced revenues by the park board in most years up to 2007.

The changes started in 2009 when the park board hit a financial wall after servicing 14 residential lots, which were never sold.

They ended up turning a deficit into a small surplus, and in 2010 they increased campground and lease fees

and shut down all non-critical spending.

Reserve funds were also completely depleted, so efforts were made to restore them. A total of $75 per residential lease is going toward the effort to rebuilt reserves.

“Staff continues to identify areas where further savings can be realized,” Peter said.

There was a slight drop in seasonal camping revenues from Sunnyside Campground this year, the park board’s largest single source of revenue.

“We’ve been able to recoup a good portion of those revenues since some of those lots can be used for full RV hookups,” Peter said. “Some of the seasonal spots have been released or sold on a pro-rated basis.”

Efforts are being made to get interested individuals to run for park board commissioner positions in the upcoming elections.

“I am delighted with these financial results, but I have to ask how do they know?” said leaseholder Rick Williamson after seeing the CLPB press release. “What are they basing this on?”

His big question was if the park board is no longer producing reliable monthly statements and is relying on audited year-end statements, can the quarterly snapshot and/or the recently released figures be considered accurate?

“I hope they can, but I have to wonder,” he said.

Prepare for the worst The rattled nerves and breathless news coverage brought on by the recent 5.8 earthquake that shook the northeast was enough to make any jaded Pacific Northwesterner smile.

After all, we’ve been dreading the “big one” for decades. In fact, geologists have told us it’s inevitable. They just don’t know when.

The eastern earthquake was centered in Virginia, not far from Washington D.C. Bureaucrats in the city fled into the streets, monuments and memorials on the National Mall were closed. Spires on the National Cathedral cracked and chunks of stone tumbled to the ground.

The tremors were felt up and down the Atlantic seaboard, from South Carolina to Maine, and inland to Southern Ontario and Ohio.

That means more than 15 million people felt the shaking. Even the Dow Jones stock index was affected, dropping 60 points shortly after the quake hit.

Of course, swaying office towers, cracks in masonry and frayed nerves are small potatoes compared to what we’ve been told to expect. Geologists say we’re long overdue for an earthquake comparable to ones that destroyed coastal cities in Chile and flattened much of northeastern Japan with a devastating one-two punch of earthquake followed by a tsunami.

For most of us going about our day-to-day lives, that little nub of prognostication lies buried deep within our consciousness, surfacing only when we’re reminded of our apparent fate by earthquakes elsewhere. There’s not much we can do about the “big one” anyway, we reason, except hope we’re not in the wrong place when it hits.

But there are things we can do to help our chances of surviving a major earthquake, like assembling an emergency kit of food, water and first aid supplies to get through the critical early days of postquake chaos.

Being prepared is the first step to staying alive. ~ Black Press

‘People’s victory’ over HST means pain ahead VICTORIA – NDP leader Adrian Dix couldn’t contain his glee at the result of the harmonized sales tax referendum.

He seemed positively giddy that the provincial budget will forgo $3 billion in revenue over the next few years, and clearly relishes the prospect of getting back to the legislature in October to resume his demands for more spending in every ministry of the B.C. government.

He can start soon, standing in passionate solidarity with B.C.’s 40,000 public school teachers as they strike to press their demands for huge increases in salary and benefits that already exceed what most private sector workers will ever see.

Bill Vander Zalm was thrilled too, beaming that famous smile as he climbed in his long black Mercedes to resume his comfortable retirement. He never expect-

ed to be able to leave the province in a mess one more time, but fate has been kind to him. He probably still believes he has helped the poor, as he claimed in his nonsensical rants against the HST. This is the “people’s victory” that Dix crowed about.

B.C. and the rest of the country are entering a perilous time where retired people outTom number the young FLETCHER and pension plans, private and public, grow increasingly fragile. And in classic baby-boomer style, our political response is self-centred and unrealistic.

An efficient tax system that ends the advantage given to services over goods, while raising revenue to lift up the poorest

people, is now a dirty word. Any kind of meaningful tax reform will be politically radioactive for years to come.

Resource industries, the movie business and other private sector job generators can now plan for a significant B.C. disadvantage in 2013. Ontario can celebrate.

Meanwhile, demand for government services to take care of the great grey blob that is my generation can only soar.

It’s not just old people outnumbering the young. I mentioned a while back that Canada has already passed another significant milestone. Statistics Canada reported in May on the people fortunate enough to have employer-supported pension plans in addition to government pension.

And it turns out that 2010 was the first year in the country’s history where more public sector workers enjoyed this benefit than

private sector workers.

Author Mark Steyn talks about this problem in relation to the troubles in Europe. He refers to the “Government Party,” which is the ever-growing public sector, and the “Dependency Party,” which is everyone on pensions and welfare. When those two “parties” constitute a majority, they can force the government to satisfy their demands without regard to economic reality.

This is what has happened in Greece. It is very close to happening in other European countries, and today B.C. is a step closer to it.

When the verdict came in on the HST referendum, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon talked about going around to consult the public on how to reinstate the provincial sales tax. He vowed that B.C. will somehow still balance its budget in two years, and

Premier Christy Clark quickly shut that door. It would be “disrespectful” to do anything other than bring back the post-war PST in all its rustic beauty, with the little boutique exemptions like bicycles and Toyota Priuses that have been attached by politicians over the years.

Self-employed business people can now look forward to collecting and remitting two separate taxes again.

There will be a cost to this “people’s victory.” It will involve reducing public services, raising taxes or both.

Stop whining about HST loss “Vote a ‘self-inflicted wound,’” (Chilliwack Progress, Aug. 30.)

Cute phrase describing the socalled misguided actions of the majority of B.C. voters who demonstrated that they have had enough of the deceitful way the Liberal government brought in the HST. Had they followed their promise of “No GST” before the last election instead of arrogantly bringing it in almost immediately after, there would have been no ‘self-inflicted wound’. Had they listened to the immediate outcry from the citizens protesting the HST when it was first introduced, there would have been no ‘self-inflicted wound’. Had they

read the writing on the wall when the results of Zalm’s petition was announced and scrapped the tax idea immediately, there would have been no ‘self-inflicted wound’, and no need to pay Ottawa back their investment.

Looking for someone to blame for all the blood-shed, look in the mirror Messrs. Penner and Falcon. Arrogance comes with a price. It is your mess from Day 1, and it’s high time you stopped blaming others.

As for the business groups crying salty tears that they will no longer be able to enhance their profit margins at the expense of the many small businesses

7

who are suffering because of the HST hurts their businesses, cry somewhere else. Your nice HST nest egg came at the expense of others – pensioners on fixed income, single mothers, restaurants, hair salons, home reno businesses etc. That many your own customers are left with less disposable income resulting in either increased debt or having to do more with less obviously has no relevance to you. Not all of use who can ill afford to add to our tax burden are eligible for HST rebates.

Move on and quit whining!

Liberals should be ‘embarrassed’ over HST Regarding John Les’s comment regarding the HST vote in last Tuesday’s Progress: “Chilliwack MLA John Les was ‘deeply

disappointed’ by the results, but not totally surprised by them.”

As the appointed Parliamentar y Secretar y for HST

Information, he did a dismal job of explaining the benefits of HST. The best he could do to sell it was using mute stick-man ads to try to

explain it to the “illiterate masses.” His “deeply disappointed” should have been “extremely embarrassed.”

Ian Menuru

Return to NDP not as bad as Liberals say For many years, people have commented on the fact that many politicians are not to be trusted; that they often outright lie to suit their own needs. On the “Trustworthy scale”, it can be said that politicians are the least trusted in society. Why is this? Is this based on accurate facts or is it exaggeration?

I know from personal experience that most politicians are much more honest than people realize.

However, when you look at the recent actions of the BC Liberal government, one can understand this paranoia.

On the subject of the HST, first the Liberals made no men-

tion of it during the 2009 election and then brought it in without consulting with the people. Now, we hear conflicting statements of how long it will take to cancel the HST and bring back the former system.

You will now be hearing Christy Clark constantly harping on the Adrian Dix legacy. You will hear her claim that Dix was a part of the so-called “NDP legacy of the 90’s”, with the assumption that it was a negative legacy. She has already begun this process of distortion and outright lies.

You will hear the Liberals constantly make the claim that a return to an NDP government will bring us “back” to doom and

gloom.

The reality is that this is total and absolute nonsense and that the truth is far different.

However, it matters not where the truth lies; what matters to the BC Liberals is that they want to utilize the Harper-style fear mongering in the hope to instill dread and worry amongst the electorate of BC. Personally, I don’t think that the voters of BC are that stupid.

I think that this Liberal attempt to distort history and to exaggerate future reality will backfire on them and actually assist in electing an NDP government in BC. Dick Harrington Chilliwack

Don’t leave dogs in cars during the summer There are two definitions of stupid. One is, “Stupid people don’t know they are stupid.”

The second is, “You

can’t fix stupid.”

Now, which of these fit the ones who leave dogs locked in cars when it is hot out, and

have the police called on them?

Don’t leave your dogs in your cars in the summer months,

folks. You may just a well leave your kids there too.

Partnership hopes to improve aboriginal graduation rates Katie Bartel The Progress Aboriginal adults have an opportunity to obtain their high school

graduation through native culture.

Chilliwack school district and Stó:lo Education Centre have partnered again to pro-

vide a 10-month long high school completion program at Coqualeetza where students will be credited for work hours, parenting responsibilities, longhouse activities, and more.

The aboriginal adult high school completion program is a oncea-week program for aboriginal adults that teaches core subjects including English, math, science, and BC First Nations through a cultural eye.

“It’s not necessarily about going through each chapter of a textbook and memorizing things, or being able to write them on a test,” said teacher Bryan Stephenson. “It’s about

incorporating aboriginal concepts, and being able to tell your story, and learn from those experiences. It’s about the wisdom of emotions and personal experience.”

First Nations students in Chilliwack make up 15 per cent of the student population.

In the 2009/10 school year, just 45.4 per cent who started Grade 8 in the district six years prior graduated.

This program aims to improve those numbers.

Stephenson, who is Métis, said this completion program is different from others in that it focuses on the needs and values of native

people, and incorporates their culture into the lessons.

The program conducts regular speaking circles for students to share their feelings and desires towards education. It embodies native history into English and social studies lessons.

For science, it links herbs and medicines used for centuries on First Nation land that are also used in common pharmaceuticals.

“I’ve seen the pride and happiness of people graduating who never thought they could graduate and never would have without this program,” said Stephenson.

“It uses their knowledge of where they come

from.”

The program is designed for native adults 19 years or older, but will also accept 17and 18-year-olds who have been out of school for one academic year.

Prior to starting, student skills will be assessed, career goals will be discussed, and past experiences in areas of work training, volunteering, cultural activities, exercise, sports and hobbies will be put towards academic credits.

Individual plans will be devised for each student.

“If students are serious about this and are willing to attend just one day a week ... they can

Justice branch spokesperson Samantha Hume said it is “very common” for Crown counsel to approve charges, based on the likelihood of getting a conviction, while a police investigation continues.

But in this case, as the investigation continued for 15 more months, she said the Crown came to the conclusion that “we did not in fact have a substantial likelihood of conviction.”

However, she was unable to comment on what information changed the Crown’s belief that a conviction could be obtained in court.

“The major component of the aboriginal adult high school completion program is to tailor the academics to fit the unique needs of each adult.”

Job action greets new school year SCHOOL from p3 accepted. Abbott said in an interview Wednesday that the BCTF is demanding “restoration of the world as it existed in 2001, and once that’s done, then they’ll start talking.”

Abbott said the court does not prescribe an outcome, but gives the two sides a year to work out a compromise.

On another long-running dispute, Abbott said he hopes to have amendments ready for the fall legislature session to revamp

the B.C. College of Teachers.

He said the current system still allows teachers who have complaints against them to surrender their teaching certificate, avoid a disciplinary record, and then get reinstated to teach in a different district later on.

A review of the college last year by Victoria lawyer Don Avison found that even teachers with criminal convictions, including one case of sexual assault of students and another of cocaine trafficking, were able to resume teaching.

A bright spot for the new school year is the completion of B.C.’s full-day kindergarten project, which is now available province-wide. There are 37,000 kindergarten students expected to enrol in the program, after a $150 million investment in classrooms and an operating budget expanded to $345 million.

Abbott said some parents were apprehensive about putting fiveyear-olds into a full-day school program, but the pilot program last year was well received.

Geoff Anderson and his family own a small zoo of animals including dogs and cats, sheep and llamas (in background), plus a turtle, rabbits and more. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Geoff Anderson: Beyond 4-H I met Geoff Anderson many years ago as a result of his involvement in the 4-H Dog Club.

However, as with many people that I know, I didn’t know how fascinating he really was until this interview.

Until he was 21, Geoff lived in Clydebank, a community just outside of Glasgow, Scotland. He enjoyed a great childhood and at the age of six he became heavily involved in the Scout movement. “I started off in Clubs, then Scouts and then Venture Scouts.

I became a club leader but eventually left at the age of 24 when I married my Ranger Guide sweetheart, Lesley,” he said.

His father was a ventilation engineer and one of his most notable projects was working on the QE2, a ship that was built and launched in Clydebank.

“Mom was a stay-athome mom but she did do some part-time work as a seamstress, altering wedding dresses,” he explained.

The outdoors has always played an important part in Geoff’s life.

He enjoys kayaking and built his own 17 foot sea worthy kayak and sailed around Scotland on it.

He also taught many scouts to rock climb as well as to ice climb in the Scottish mountains.

He spent three years as a volunteer member of the Glenshee Ski Rescue team and was awarded the Gold Duke of Edinburgh award which he received from Prince Philip at Holyrood Palace, the Queen’s official residence in Scotland. The award was founded by His Royal Highness, the Duke of

Edinburgh in 1956 and deals with various levels of personal development including volunteering as well as a physical, skills and expedition components. “In order to receive a gold award there is also a residential component that you need to achieve. This aspect involves working away from home doing a shared activity,” he noted.

Ana Geoff decided MACEDO that he wanted to work for the Forestry Commission, an offshoot of the Department of Agriculture, before leaving what is the equivalent of high school in Canada. “I was in a catch 22 situation, though. I couldn’t get into forestry until I had completed my first year in Forestry College but I couldn’t get into Forestry College until I had a minimum of one year field experience. Instead, I started in Horticulture with the idea of specializing in Arboriculture (tree surgery) at the end of my horticulture apprenticeship. I enjoyed the nursery work so much that I stayed with it,” he explained.

His career began with the City of Glasgow Parks Department as an apprentice gardener.

“After completing a four-year apprenticeship I left to attend the West of Scotland Agriculture College studying for an Ordinary National Diploma in Amenity Horticulture

which covers landscaping and design, trees and shrubs,” he said.

He married the love of his life and the couple moved to Elgin, in the north of Scotland, where Geoff took on a job with the Moray District Council. “In Elgin, I ran the nursery for them, growing trees and shrubs and up to 500,000 bedding plants each year. I was there for nine years and during that time we won many awards including ‘Britain and Bloom’ as well as winning awards for sculpture and floral arrangements at many flower and horticultural shows. I even grew flowers and arranged them for a Royal visit when the queen came to Elgin,” he enthused. He eventually left Elgin to work for a commercial nursery in the small fishing village of Cullen.

“This is where I felt that I had reached as high as I could go without owning my own nursery and I was always looking for a challenge.”

It just so happened that British Columbia was advertising in a horticulture magazine for qualified nurserymen.

“At this time, there were no training programs for this industry and Kwantlen College was barely a foundation.

Lesley and I came over to BC in January 1992 for 10 days to see if we would like to live here.

We instantly fell in love with Chilliwack and Brian Minter offered me a position with Country Garden. By that May we had everything in place and we immigrated to Canada on May 19, 1992.

Today, this proud father of three is heav-

ily involved with the 4H program. Before coming to Canada, he had never heard of this child development program. “We first saw it in action in August during the Chilliwack Fair and our eldest daughter expressed an interest in joining. When January came along, she joined and I sat and watched as an interested parent. At the end of the year, the project leader announced that the program would need another dog trainer.

Another parent said that he would keep the club going if I could assist him with the program.

That’s how it started 15 years ago and I am still training the children to train their dogs,” he chuckled.

Currently, Geoff works for Cannor Nurseries in their wholesale division. “I have been with them for 18 years and I cover sales in B.C., the Pacific Northwest and the Maritimes,” he said. He laughs at the suggestion that he could possibly have any free time given that he and Lesley own a lovely, 2.5 acre hobby farm. “For the last four years we have been learning about sheep breeding. We also have llamas, lots of cats and dogs and even more critters,” he said.

As if it was any surprise, Geoff does enjoy gardening and he also puts together flower arrangements for very special occasions. “I have recently taken up golf and I’m looking for more time to spend on the course. My goal is to retire sane and to have a great golfing handicap,” he laughed.

Information that will be highlighted at the meetings will include: Chilliwack’s Flood Response Plan for the Vedder River The City of Chilliwack Dyking System How Residents Can Be Prepared The Vedder River Flood Response Plan will be presented at the Council Meeting on September 6, 2011, and is also available at www.chilliwack.com/vedderriver.

down. Since 1990, the number of overweight school-aged children has tripled, and the problem is only getting worse. Now, more than ever, kids need sport and active play.

The benefits of activity in children extend beyond maintaining a healthy body weight.

Physical Tanja activity SHAW boosts self esteem and confidence and helps children meet new friends.

Exercise improves muscle strength, bone density, and reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes. Further, the healthy habits formed as a child pave the way to a healthy and active adulthood.

Healthy habits are learned – children are not born knowing what foods are nutritious, or that the body needs exercise to stay healthy.

As a parent, you have the opportunity to make a positive impact on your child’s health.

There is much you can do to encourage your children to be active.

Be active yourself.

When encouraging your children to be active, keep in mind that what you do is more important than what you say. In other words, if you want your

children to be active, you need to be a positive role model and be active as well. This doesn’t mean you have to spend long hours at the gym – simply going for a brisk walk on most days of the week or being conscious of your own food choices are steps in the right direction.

Make it a family matter. In addition to your own workout routine, strive to be active as a family. Walk short distances with your children instead of driving, or play active games with your children. Plan active outings for the whole family such as a bike ride along the Vedder River, a short hike, or a game of tag at the park. Refer to physical activity as an opportunity for fun instead of as a chore.

Finally, set limits on television, video games and internet for all family members.

Encourage all types of physical activity for your children. Many kids thrive on team sports or dance classes in the community to stay fit.

However, organized sports or classes are not the only ways to keep active. All physical activity, not just structured programs, is beneficial. Some alternatives to sports include dancing to music in the living room, walking the dog, playing at the park, jumping on a tram-

In addition to your own workout routine, strive to be active as a family.

poline, or swimming.

Try different activities until you find one that your child enjoys. It may be simply walking to the library to find a good book, or jumping rope in the backyard.

Check out the Cheam and Landing Leisure Centres and the YMCA for youth programs in the area.

Be active all year round. It’s easy to be active on warm, summery days, but we are partial to staying indoors when it gets wet outside. Physical activity is important on all days – not just the sunny ones. On rainy days, you can shield yourself in rain gear and play outside in the puddles. If the rain is

enough to make you want to stay inside, go to the pool for some indoor play. Other activities such as table tennis or hide and seek can also be played indoors.

For more information on Physical Activity for Children, go to the Public Health Agency of Canada’s Website at www.phacaspc.gc.ca/hp-ps/ index.html.

B.C. quit-smoking plan attracts critics Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – B.C.’s plan to fund nicotine patches and gum for smokers has been lauded by the Canadian Cancer Society and other health organizations, but the program has its detractors.

Public feedback since the program was announced in May include a variety of criticisms, according to documents released by Premier Christy Clark’s office under freedom of information legislation.

The program is set to start Sept. 30. It will provide people up to 12 weeks’ supply of overthe-counter nicotine gum or

patches, or prescription pills approved by the Pharmacare program. The government estimates it will cost $15-25 million a year, depending on how many smokers sign up.

“As a physician, I am a bit ambivalent about your decision to fund nicotine replacement, as along with the drug there is also need for counselling and follow-up,” said one response posted on B.C.’s new open information website.

Others objected to the decision to spend millions on nicotine replacement, while diabetics and other chronic disease patients have to pay to treat conditions they did not bring upon themselves. A Kelowna

resident cited the example of treatment for his wife’s sleep apnea, including $100 a month in medicine and $2,000 for a machine recommended by her family doctor and cardiologist.

“I honestly believe it is outright wrong to pay for this when smokers made a choice to start smoking and continue to make a choice every time they light up,” he said.

A former smoker who quit before nicotine replacement was available also objected.

“I realize [nicotine replacement] is expensive, but so are cigarettes,” the ex-smoker wrote. “If a person is desirous of quitting, then don’t buy cigarettes, buy the patch instead.”

The new EP disc and DVD they’re heralding with the event features 10 songs, with five from Latimer and the other five from studio owner Jeff Bonner and the Tractorgrease Folk.

“We recorded the whole album and filmed it as we were recording so it was a really interesting project,” Latimer says.

Bonner agreed.

That’s the kind of outside-thebox thinking that makes it fresh.

“I love working with Jeff,” says Latimer. “He’s very helpful and is always working with a lot of different bands. He knows his stuff in recording, video and sound engineering and it helps that he’s artistically creative in every way.”

Bluegrass festival offers music and ambiance Labour Day weekend in Chilliwack is synonymous with the high lonesome sound of

bluegrass.

Chilliwack Heritage Park will be hopping Sept. 2-4 with cook-outs,

camping and seven of the best bluegrass bands found anywhere, says organizer Ana

Macedo.

“Whether you want to camp all weekend or just spend a day,

Chilliwack’s 24th annual Bluegrass Festival is a great way to wrap up your summer,” she

says.

On the roster this year is Missouri-based headliners Cedar Hill — back

Others include newcomers Bull Harman and Bull’s Eye and the Earl Brothers followed

by III Generation, Foggy Hogtown Boys and Great Northern Planes while Highrise Lonesome rounds out the program.

“Many people come to the Bluegrass Festival to experience the overall ambience by camping, taking part in the corn shucking contests, enjoying the free corn roasts every night and playing their instrument of choice.

“Festival goers consider Chilliwack’s Bluegrass Festival one of the highlights of their year and other visitors are encouraged to experience this same wholesome entertainment.”

The music kicks off at 7 p.m. on Friday and continues throughout the weekend. Reserve tickets by calling the Chilliwack Arts Centre at (604) 392-8888 or pick them up at the door.

WALMART CORRECTION NOTICE

Sometimes, smoke is just smoke T

his week finds us examining another cognitive distortion or thought error in greater detail: emotional reasoning. As you might recall from the past few articles sometimes our automatic thoughts are based on irrational assumptions. If we stop and think about them rationally and break them down based on solid evidence, then we can see them as irrational and replace them with new, more rational viewpoints. If we analyze them with emotional reasoning, though, we feed into them and come to faulty conclusions.

Basically, emotional reasoning is basing our thoughts and beliefs on our feelings, and using emotion as a substitute for evidence; however, the reasoning can’t hold up because it doesn’t take into account all of the other factors operating at the time.

This “I feel it, therefore it must be true” mentality can cause a lot of backward thinking. It says you are what you feel – the facts don’t matter because it’s feelings that count. And if the facts contradict your feelings, then go with your feelings and ignore the facts. Since its’ human nature to think with our heart this can sometimes be a difficult thought

error to spot and correct. It’s about thinking with your head, feeling with your heart, and not letting your emotions control your thoughts.

An example of this thought error was presented to me last week by an adolescent client of mine who said: I feel so alone Eryn all of the time WICKER (the emotion being experienced).

It must be because nobody likes me (projecting the emotion onto the external world). However, as we explored this belief she was able to discover that a negative emotion about herself doesn’t necessarily have anything to do with the reality about herself. When pressed further, she came up with evidence that some people actually did like her, and also with some tangible evidence of why she was feeling so alone. This concept can then be universalized: how one feels about reality - positive, negative, or neutral does not necessarily have anything to do with what’s actually out there in reality.

Other examples of emotional reasoning

When “help wanted” is an urgent matter, you want a fast, effective way to reach qualified local candidates. That’s why advertising in the Chilliwack Progress Classifieds is the solution more employers turn to when they want results.

include “I feel guilty.

Therefore, I must have done something bad”; “I feel stupid and boring, therefore I must be stupid and boring”; “I feel overwhelmed and hopeless. Therefore, my problems must be impossible to solve”; “I feel inadequate.

Therefore, I must be a worthless person”; “I’m not in the mood to do anything.

Therefore, I might as well just lie in bed”; “I feel anxious about this test. It must mean I’m going to fail it”; or “I’m mad at you. This must mean you are a bad friend.”

So what can you do if you hear your child or teen (or maybe even yourself) using emotional reasoning? I like to put it to the evidence test.

Ask your child/teen/ partner/self what evidence there is that makes their negative thought true besides their feelings about it.

Challenging them to think of all the other possible factors and variables that might exist will help them see that a feeling isn’t enough to base an assumption on. This, in turn, will help them not be blinded to the difference between

feelings and facts.

Remember the old adage: “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire.” Well, it’s wrong.

Smoke is not firm evidence of fire. Smoke may just be smoke.

Community

Rhythm Reelers back for more fun, fitness and friendship The Chilliwack Rhythm Reelers Square and Round Dance Club will be starting its 57th year of dancing in Chilliwack on September 12 at the Atchelitz Hall on Lickman Road.

Square dancing is a social activity where eight people interact through a series of movements as â&#x20AC;&#x153;calledâ&#x20AC;? by the square dance caller. It is a healthy, very social and fun activity for people of all ages. Square dancers often say that their recreation is â&#x20AC;&#x153;friendship set to music.â&#x20AC;?

The dif ference between old time and modern square dancing is that old time dancing followed a set pattern for each dance, unlike its modern form. The pattern would never vary, no matter how often the dance was repeated. In old time square dancing the first couple in the square would usually execute a number of moves in turn with each of the other couples. Then, the second, third and fourth couples would do the same moves with each of the other couples.

There is much more variety in modern square dancing because there are no set patterns for a dance. The dancers learn a number of moves that the caller then puts together to form the dance. The caller â&#x20AC;&#x153;callsâ&#x20AC;?

out these moves to the dancers and the dancers follow the â&#x20AC;&#x153;calls,â&#x20AC;? not being able to anticipate what will come next.

Modern square dancers learn the movements by joining a square dance club where the basics are taught. There are no â&#x20AC;&#x153;steps,â&#x20AC;? as such, the feet simply move to the rhythm of the music and the hands and arms make the directional changes.

To meet the dancerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s desired level of challenge and time available to participate, modern square dancing is offered in different progressive programs including Basic, Mainstream, Plus, Advanced and Challenge.

The Chilliwack Rhythm Reelers is a Plus dance club which means that they teach all the steps from Basic to Plus. The Chilliwack Rhythm Reelers, like many clubs, incorporates the dance form of Round Dancing into their square dance programs as this choreographed ballroom style dance for couples complements square dancing.

The music in modern square dancing certainly includes country west-

ern tunes but there is also lots of pop, rock-nroll, show tunes and even adaptations of golden oldies.

The Chilliwack Rhythm Reelers Square and Round Dance Club is inviting people to join them on Sept. 12, if they

have danced before. For those wanting to refresh their dancing or start fresh, they are invited to the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spaghetti

Dinner and Danceâ&#x20AC;? on Oct. 17 for a special â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;introductory nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the Atchelitz Hall on Lickman Road. The first

two nights are free.

The Chilliwack

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Chilliwack kid lives Chiefs dream Training camp has begun for the Chilliwack Chiefs, with a whole new group of players ready to represent this city in its return to the BCHL. To help you get to know your new team, the Progress sports section will be running several player features from now until the start of the regular season.

The crash course continues today with a local lad who now skates for the team he grew up watching.

Eric J. Welsh, The Progress One of the first things Harvey Smyl talked about three months ago as he outlined his vision for the new Chilliwack Chiefs was a desire to get local kids involved.

The general manager talked about taking Chilliwack’s best hockey players and giving them the opportunity to play junior A hockey.

To be a Chief.

A longtime resident of Chilliwack, Smyl understood immediately that the best way to get people invested in a local club is by giving them local lads to cheer for.

He talked the talk then walked the walk with his first trade, acquiring Josh Hansen from Langley.

“Watching Har v behind the Chiefs bench when I was little and now getting to play for him, it’s pretty cool,” Hansen said. “It was one thing to play for the Langley Chiefs, but being a Chilliwack Chief is pretty spectacu-

lar.”

Hansen’s love of the Chiefs goes back to the days when he was a little guy on Ramona Drive, living four doors down from Jeff Tambellini and Micah Stanford.

“They’d see us playing street hockey out there and they’d come out to play for a bit,” Hansen reminisced.

“It was great because I looked up to those guys so much. And Jeff used to give me some stick blades too, so that was good.”

When Tambellini wasn’t around, Hansen played the role, imagining he was the gifted sniper flying down the wing.

“He was always my favourite because I got to know him,” Hansen explained. “My brother’s name is Caleb, so he was always Kaleb Betts. One kid’s favourite player was Garret Stroshein, so he’d pretend to be him and we’d have little fights.”

Such a Chiefs fan was Hansen that he had his dad drive all around town, collecting hockey cards from local businesses. At games, he’d try to get players to sign them.

Hansen continued to follow Tambellini even after he departed for the University of Michigan and then the professional hockey ranks.

“I bought some of his rookie cards on eBay, and I still follow him to see how he’s doing,” he said. “What I remember from those days was that the old barn was the place to be when the Chiefs were playing.”

Hansen moved away in Grade 10 to attend the Pursuit of Excellence program in Kelowna, then spent a year playing junior B hockey for the Aldergrove Kodiaks.

After an unsuccessful tryout with the Western Hockey League’s

Josh Hansen grew up watching the Chilliwack Chiefs and dreaming of being a Chilliwack Chief. Acquired from Langley over the summer, Hansen gets to live that dream this season. GARRET JONES/ LANGLEY TIMES

Portland Winter Hawks last fall, Hansen got a phone call from Smyl, inviting him to play for Langley.

The offseason trade to Chilliwack competed the circle.

Hansen’s Chiefs teammate, Spencer Graboski is a Quesnel native who played in front of friends and family as a Quesnel Millionaire last season.

Of the experience he said, ‘It’s good when you’re winning and bad when you’re losing.’

Hansen knows being a Chilliwack Chief isn’t going to be all roses and sunshine.

The team may struggle this season as Smyl works to rebuild a franchise that was a perennial doormat in Quesnel.

After five years of mediocre Chilliwack Bruins hockey, local fans may not accept another losing season gracefully.

“They’re going to want to see a winning team, and that’s our main goal,” Hansen conceded. “It’s going to be a little more pressure because there’s family and friends who want to see me win, but it’s going to motivate me a little bit more to play well. It’s going to be different.”

If Hansen requires refuge, he’ll be able to retreat to a local golf course or head off to an ocean-front beach — two of his favourite pasttimes.

He also loves to head down to Safeco Field

in Seattle from time to time to catch a Mariners game.

But for the next seven or eight months, most of his time will be devoted to the Chiefs — his own development as a player and the bigpicture quest to restore the lost glory of a once great franchise.

Hansen will look to build off a rookie season in which he garnered nine goals and 16 points in 55 games, adding two goals in 10 playoff games.

One of those goals was a series ender against the Surrey Eagles game four of round one, a clutch double overtime goal that stands as the biggest the 19-year-old has ever scored.

“We had a lot of jump coming out of the first OT and our line had played pretty good,” he recalled. “(Kody) Dhaliwal, my linemate, dumped it in. There was a scrum in the corner and he threw it in front.

I jumped on it and put a backhand over the goalie’s glove. It was a pretty goal by my standards and I had the whole team jumping all over me to celebrate. It was a pretty big moment for me.”

And just the first of what Hansen hopes are many big moments to come. ● Hansen was in the lineup Tuesday night as the Chiefs played a preseason game in Burnaby versus the Coquitlam

Express. The Chiefs were out-shot 26-23 and lost 4-2.

Chilliwack led 2-1 through 20 minutes on goals by Derek Huisman (assists to David Thompson and Mathieu Tibbett) and (assist to Chad Roorda).

The Express scored three in the second period to get the win.

Ex-Millionaire Bryton Udy got the start in goal for Chilliwack, giving up three goals on 13 shots before yielding to backup Adam Harris (also an ex-Mill). Harris stopped 21 of 22 shots in just over 30 minutes of work.

Chilliwack’s next home preseason game is Sept. 10 versus Surrey. Get info at www. chilliwackchiefs.net.

Giants two-peat at Bronze Boot two majors.

Running backs Ethan Mastin and Cameron Lampart carried the ball three times each, with Mastin scoring a touchdown.

The line of scrimmage was dominated by an offensive line led by AJ Sagrott and Michael Lengert.

Quarterback Nick Both completed three of six passes for 78 yards, adding nine carries for 84 yards.

Defensively, the

Giants were led by defensive tackle Chris Derksen who produced five tackles and two sacks. Linebacker Sam Meyer and halfback Spencer Breslin were standouts with several tackles each.

Breslin, also a kicker, nailed four of five converts and kicked a successful onside kick (recovered by Mastin).

The Blue Giants open their 2011 season Monday in Chilliwack against Mission.

Bantams shine at SunGod tourney Chilliwack’s bantam Blue Giants traveled to North Delta last weekend to play in the annual SunGod Tournament, going undefeated in three games to take the title.

Opening against Meadow Ridge, the Giants set the tone with a touchdown on their very first possession.

Running backs Jake Creasy and Filip Horak had several great runs and the drive was capped off when Kirkland Kennedy plunged into the endzone.

Creasy, Horak and Connor Herrmann would finish the day with two touchdowns each and Josh Pretty also found paydirt in

the tournament’s final game against rival North Langley.

Not to be outdone, the Giants’ defensive group was equally dominant.

They shut out all three teams and were never seriously threatened.

Defensive standouts, in a unit that was miss-

ing several key starters, included Clinton Boylan, Will Zomar, Thomas Heuser, Duncan McCracken and Nashon Douglas.

The bantams open their regular season schedule Sunday in Cloverdale.

A CARD OF THANKS It is difÀcult for us to know how to express our appreciation for the kindness, caring and support that we received throughout Jack’s illnesses, during his Ànal days and afterwards when Jack passed from our midst.

We really appreciated all those who were Pallbearers, sent Áowers or sympathy cards, donated personal services, made donations to Jack’s charities, called with the kindest words and thought of us those days.

We especially want to thank Dr. Alan Whetter for the care he provided over the years; to the doctors, nurses and staff of Chilliwack General Hospital; to the staff of Emergency; Net Care Parkholm; Nursing Unit 3; and BC Ambulance Service for such professionalism in caring for Jack; to Dr. Bull and Cindy of Palliative Care for their support during his Ànal hours at home; to Rev. Dianne Astle and the congregation of Carmen United Church for their on-going support; and to the Best Western Hotel for their venue, food and service in hosting Jack’s “Celebration of Life”.

Jack’s smiling face will be sadly missed by the many lives he touched – but the memories we have will remain in our Hearts forever.

Sept. 3, 1951 - Sept. 3, 2011 Today as both of you look back with happiness and pride upon the sixty cherished years that you’ve spent side by side, may every memory that you share of a life you’ve seen unfold, help make this very special day one of love and joy, to behold With love and thanks for all you’ve given our family Sharron, Tom, Jennifer and Bob Marlene, Phillip and Katie
