Star FM saves parade

Booking a site for Sardis library

BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

nd just like that, Christmas was saved. Just four weeks after Chilliwack city council learned that the Downtown BIA (BIA) would no longer organize the Christmas parade, Star FM has stepped forward with a proposal. In a June 14 letter to Mayor Sharon Gaetz and council, Teresa Laynes, promotions director for the local radio station wrote that they, “along with our sister station ‘Fun FM,’ would love the opportunity to partner with the City of Chilliwack for the 2011 Santa Claus Parade.” In 2 0 1 0 , t h e budget for the parade was $15,000, $7,000 of which came from city hall. Star FM EB IRST has proposed to First reported on increase the funchilliwacktimes.com ding to $20,000 with the city’s $7,000 portion remaining the same. For its contribution, Star FM has asked that the radio station and the city be recognized as the sole sponsors. However, the station did not ask for naming rights and suggested the parade be named The Chilliwack Santa Claus Parade, The Chilliwack Parade of Lights & Sound or something similar. The BIA has organized the Christmas parade since 1999 for the city under the Community Development Initiatives Funding Program. But in a May 17 letter, BIA president Ken Popove told city council of its intention to focus on “broader multiple day BIA Christmas events.” At Tuesday’s meeting, city council was scheduled to consider awarding the co-ordination of the 2011 Christmas parade to Star FM.

esidents on the south side of the city are one step closer to having a public library as a site has been selected near Twin Rinks Arena. At Tuesday’s meeting, city council was scheduled to hear a recommendation from staff that 5819 Tyson Rd. be chosen as the site for the $3.8 million, 9,700-square-foot facility. The plan for a library in Sardis was first included in the city’s comprehensive municipal plan in 2005. At that time, 2011 was the scheduled time for construction but a tight financial situation postponed that to 2012. A working group with representatives from the city and the Fraser Valley Regional Library created a preliminary layout for the proposed library, which “has very open and flexible space, which should help the building stand the test of time,” according to a staff report prepared by director of finance Chris Crosman. “In addition to traditional children’s, teen and adult areas, multipurpose space is included for a variety of library and community uses,” the report said. “The design includes FVRL-recommended automation features that will assist with ongoing operations. There is also room to expand the building in the future as warranted.” The other site considered for the library was a piece of city-owned property at 6772 Vedder Rd., but staff determined that site would be too small.

hree Chilliwack residents were among thousands who pitched in to help clean up the damage wrought by rioters in Vancouver last week. By the time Amber Short turned off herTV lateWednesday, she had tears in her eyes. “There’s so many people in this world who live under the threat of violence and oppression and to watch people in our province elect and choose to create [such violence] is just really shameful,” she told theTimes. The next morning, though, Short decided to lend a hand to repair Vancouver. As co-owner and manager at the Bookman, Short went to work, recruited a pair of like-minded employees— Emily Hamel and Natilee Noske—grabbed some supplies and hit the road to join in with a massive Facebookorganized cleanup effort. When the crew arrived, they found hundreds of volunteers and a city that was already well on its way back to normal. “It wasn’t as apocalyptic as I expected,” said Short. And she said the experience has her feeling much better than when she went to sleep Wednesday night. “I’m really glad that we came down. It was definitely worth it and there was a good sense of comaraderie,” she said. “It was really a positive experience.” Here in Chilliwack the mood was more subdued. Mayor Sharon Gaetz estimated that around 1,000 people joined her in watching the game on the big screen in the Exhibition Field/Prospera Centre parking lot. Gaetz said the overriding emotion was one of disap-

Mounties assume the destruction of playground equipment at Promontory Heights Elementary was the work of kids copying what they saw on TV in Vancouver last Wednesday. pointment. “Everybody came with such anticipation and excitement,” she said, but “by the third goal, everybody was just kind of down.” There was no rioting in Chilliwack; the worst violence Gaetz witnessed was perpetrated by a woman on her own property. “She was mad,” Gaetz said, “she picked up her lawn chair and threw it down on the ground.” So Gaetz was stunned to turn on her TV at home and witness the events unfolding in Vancouver. She was much more positive about Chilliwack’s experience in collective sports-watching. “I’m very thankful for the respectful atmosphere,” she said. “What felt good to me was the family atmosphere.” But not all Chilliwack residents looked on in horror. According to a screen shot disseminated on Twitter, Rodney Bishop, a 23-year-old Chilliwack man, posted the

following on his Facebook wall: “Whoooo that riot was awesome im glad we did it to show the stupid [expletive] mayor of van that whos that dumb to set up those big screens and fill the streets with people. They knew it was gunna happen and they could of prevented it easily.” In response to another person’s query, he wrote “yep right in the middle I smashed like atleast five guys it was insane man.” The Times could not reach Bishop for comment. And a plastic slide at Promontory Heights elementary school was set ablazeWednesday night. While no arrests have been made yet, police assume that the timing of the vandalism with theVancouver riot is not a coincodence. “We assume that some kids went out and decided what they saw on TV was cool and went out and torched the slide,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth.

he Conservative government took a hit from friendly-fire Monday when a former Tory cabinet minister who has battled lung cancer pleaded with his former colleagues to support limits on the export of chrysotile asbestos. Former Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Chuck Strahl, a senior Tory cabinet minister until his retirement in May, wrote a column on the opening day of an international conference to decide whether the substance should be labelled as a hazardous material under the United Nations’ Rotterdam Convention. Strahl called on Ottawa to stand with the world’s industrialized countries and list the carcinogen on Annex III of the Rotterdam Convention. This is a special list that requires “Prior Informed Consent” before countries can export the hazardous product to another country. Placing it on the list means recipient countries must be informed of the hazards and can refuse to accept it if they believe they can’t handle it safety. Strahl, a former British Columbia logging contractor, developed lung cancer linked to his exposure to asbestos. Although the four-day UN meeting kicked off Monday in Geneva, the government has yet to disclose whether Canada supports the listing of chrysotile asbestos on Annex III. The mineral is mined in Quebec and exported to developing countries such as India and Thailand. Strahl told Industry Minister Christian Paradis and Prime Minister Stephen Harper that it’s time for Canada to support flagging the carcinogen as potentially

Chuck Strahl harmful because importers and exporters have the right to know there are serious health risks if misused. “Loggers like me operated some of industry’s largest and most dangerous equipment. I loved every minute of it. Huge and powerful, they fit the personalities of the men of the woods—aggressive, production-oriented, no-nonsense types who didn’t wait around to listen to some do-gooder tell them about the dangers of asbestos. That was a big, big mistake,” Strahl wrote in the Globe and Mail. “Not surprisingly, exposure of this kind caused problems. But never immediately. Like smoking a cigarette, the effects take time. And, like smoking a cigarette in those days, people just didn’t know about the long term impacts of asbestos. But we do today. The doctors tell me that the cancer I was diagnosed with six years ago and collapsed my lung was certainly caused by exposure to asbestos. Miraculously and thankfully, my cancer hasn’t grown and I’m symptom-free. Most guys that get diagnosed are dead in six to 12 months.” Strahl added: “The Prime Minister and Quebec’s regional minister have both said See ASBESTOS, Page 17

Anti-HST crusaders preaching to the converted BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ormer premier Bill Vander Zalm and his sidekick Chris Delaney preached their antiHarmonized Sales Tax message to a crowd of the converted at the Coast Hotel in Chilliwack last week. Approximately 75 people came to the Fight HST meeting Thursday at which Vander Zalm and Delaney outlined their opposition to the tax, followed by a question-andanswer period. The Times asked Vander Zalm what the point was of speaking against the HST to a roomful of people already staunchly opposed to the tax. “Well, actually it doesn’t matter who we talk to,” he said. “In the end, what matters is who they talk to and that they fill in that ballot and send it back.” Delaney told those in attendance that it is the “big business lobby,” that really runs British Columbia, and that was behind the push for the HST. “They are so selfish and greedy, they’ll do anything to get our money from us,” he said. “They are killing democracy.” Sitting in the audience, Chilliwack resident Carla Hoffman repeated that comment: “Yes, killing democracy.” Speaking after the meeting, Hoffman told the Times that her biggest concern about losing the PST

and quoted from a press release issued by Premier Christy Clark’s office June 10 that stated the drop from 12 to 10 per cent would become law “after the Government of Canada amended federal regulations.” “We’re losing control of our taxation to the federal government, no doubt about it,” Delaney said. Chilliwack realtor Michael Henshall told the Times that more and more business would go underground if the HST survives the referendum. Henshall is upset about the impact on realtor fees, but he said he has seen tradespeople working under the table since the tax was introduced last year. “I do know that many tradespeople are doing a lot more cash jobs than they ever were before,” he said. “I know for a fact that’s happening in Chilliwack. I’ve seen it happening within the past week.” As the anti-HST fight has gone on, opposition has been as high as 85 per cent, but that number has dropped dramatically in recent weeks and months. But Vander Zalm said his side is doing its best to keep up with the well-funded advertising campaign the government launched. “We had a great momentum,” Vander Zalm said. “I think we’ve still got a lot of momentum, obviously it isn’t the 85 per cent any more.”

Baby Boomers and Heart Disease

Mayor applauds proposed I changes to medical pot law

f you’re between 40 and 60 years of age, you’re part of the large demographic known as the “baby boomers.”

hilliwack’s mayor is giving the thumbs up to proposed changes to laws that govern medical marijuana growers. Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq announced Friday that the government will hold public consultations into a number of proposed changes to the laws. Among the changes, Health Canada is proposing to eliminate individual and private growers. Aglukkaq said the government hopes the changes will “reduce the risk of abuse . . . while significantly improving the way program participants access marijuana for medical purposes.” Gaetz has been outspoken about what she believes is the risk posed by medical marijuana growers in Chilliwack. Gaetz has said that the city may be home to hundreds of private marijuana grow ops, that those operations may pose structural risks to the buildings they inhabit, and that it is often impossible to ensure that growers are abiding by the terms of their licences. “Oftentimes people are not growing for their own use and they don’t have a licence to grow for more [people] but they are,” Gaetz told the Times on Friday. She said that suspicion seems to be borne out by a recent pot bust. Earlier this month, five people were arrested after police said they found many times the permitted number of pot plants at a Cultus Lake home whose owners possessed a medical marijuana licence. Citing concern about electricity use, water issues, disposal of fertilizers, fire danger and theft, council directed staff in March to investi-

gate whether it could ask strata councils to ban medical marijuana growers. And at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference earlier this month, delegates approved a resolution to ask that Health Canada issue licences only to growers who have already received a licence from their respective municipality. Gaetz was pleased to see the government address the concerns and take the issue out of the hands of cities and towns. “I think this is fantastic,” she said. “This is a far superior solution, I believe, marijuana will be grown in the proper places and it should serve the people it’s meant to serve.” Medical marijuana advocates have argued limiting access to medical pot is unconstitutional and the role of the federal government should also remove any potential legal headaches for municipalities trying to act on concerns about medical marijuana. “This way we won’t ever have to worry that we’ve got a legitimate user in our sights,” said Gaetz. The new rules would seem destined to concentrate the production of marijuana into the hands of licensed businesses. That, of course, raises the possibility that an agricultural community like Chilliwack could see legitimate marijuana harvesting businesses try to set up shop. “I’m sure there’ll be entrepreneur who will want to grow and the discussion next is how can we do that in a way that is safe as well,” said Gaetz, “because obviously any kind of large-scale operation—and small-scale operation—has security threats, so that’s something we’ll talk about with Health Canada.”

Undoubtedly, one of your priorities is extending your good health into the next phase of your life. With heart attacks and strokes now the leading cause of death in Canada, how can you minimize your risk as you reach the age most commonly affected by cardiovascular disease? Diet, physical activity, genetic history and lifestyle factors such as stress, have a major impact on an individual’s risk for heart or circulatory conditions. Eating healthy is crucial. In addition to a well-balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and ﬁbres, it is important to get enough “good fats” (HDL – high density lipids) and to reduce intake of “bad fats” (LDL – low density lipids). The long-standing belief that people who consume sufﬁcient amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids (“good fats”) in their diets are less susceptible to heart problems is proven by over 3000 research studies including...

• A 2001 study showed taking fish oil resulted in a 30% decrease in the risk of cardiovascular death, and a 45% decrease overall in the risk of sudden death. • If you have already suffered from heart problems, you’ll be glad to know a 1996 study showed fish oil reduced the risk of a second heart attack. • Additional studies showed significant reductions in both triglyceride and LDL (low density lipid) cholesterol levels when taking fish oil. The American Heart Association recommends consuming fish oil (0.9g of EPA and DHA per day) for the prevention and treatment of heart disease. Adding a quality fish oil supplement to your diet makes sense for minimizing your health risks. At Sardis Health, we recommend Omega-First. It’s an excellent quality fish oil that has everything you need for your good health. 120 caps

Betty Fox led tireless effort to bring hope Terry’s mother supported her son’s dreams and nurtured his legacy

hen Canadian legend Terry Fox launched his heroic run across Canada to raise money to fight cancer, his mother supported his dream from the sidelines. After her son died, Betty Fox found herself thrust reluctantly into the public spotlight, nurturing his legacy through the Terry Fox Foundation and annual Terry Fox runs. Betty Fox died Friday morning in Chilliwack. Her tireless efforts brought hope and life to countless people, said Greg Moore, the mayor of Port Coquitlam. Betty was always pushing, he said. When Moore got the news, he quickly picked up the phone and called his father, who was Terry Fox’s soccer coach and teacher at Port Coquitlam senior secondary, which has since been renamed in Terry Fox’s honour. Moore’s father Bruce recently battled cancer. If he had faced that challenge back when Terry was running, he wouldn’t have lived, the younger Moore said. “He’s still with us today,” he said. Betty’s efforts to keep Terry’s legacy alive through the Terry Fox Foundation and the annual Terry Fox runs has brought hope and life to countless people such as his father. One the greatest contributions Betty made was that she kept Terry’s foundation free from corporate profiteering, Moore said. Terry was convinced the best way to keep his own legacy alive was to prevent his efforts from becoming commercialized, and Betty ensured that Terry’s principles endured. “It’s not about flashy campaigns,” Moore said, adding that the foundation and the annual runs are incredibly “pure.”

Betty Fox, mother of Canadian icon Terry Fox, passed away last week. Betty helped keep her son’s legacy alive through the Terry Fox Foundation.

were infectious, and her tireless dedication to pursuing Terry’s dream inspired millions to believe in a world without cancer,” he said. “Betty was a devoted community leader whose accomplishments and impact are a true testament to the power of one individual, and the influence they can have on the lives of others.” Members of the family posted a message on the Terry Fox Foundation website reporting that Betty Fox died peacefully at 8:25 a.m. on Friday. “Betty was comfortable in the last few weeks and months of her life, was always full of wit and was rarely alone,” the family wrote in the message. “Betty is now with Terry and joins other dear family members that predeceased her,” the message said. “We have greatly appreciated the privacy granted to our family since Betty’s illness was shared and are hoping it continues at this difficult time.” Betty’s son Terry became a local, national and international hero following the amputation of his right leg to combat a form of bone cancer in 1977. After spending time in the hospital surrounded by others struggling with cancer, Fox was inspired to run across Canada to raise money and awareness to fight the disease that took his leg.

Due to its low overhead and reliance on unpaid volunteers, the Terry Fox Foundation contributes 87 cents of every dollar it raises to battling cancer, Moore said. To date, the foundation has raised nearly $600 million to fight cancer. Between 1998 and 2003 Moore chaired Port Coquitlam’s annual Terry Fox hometown run, which continues to grow, attracting nearly 6,000 runners and volunteers every year. One of Moore’s tasks was to deliver Betty Fox to the podium for her annual address to the crowd. It was a difficult job, he said. “She wanted to have a chat with everyone,” Moore said, adding that she was “always gracious with her time.” Fox and her husband Rolly would usually be the last people at the events, signing posters and chatting with people curious about Terry. The fuel for Betty’s drive was her confidence in Terry’s vision, Moore said. “She was always willing to share her opinion,” he said, laughing. “She didn’t mince words.” Rick Hansen, a gold-medal winning Paralympian who shared the Fox family’s activist spirit, said in an emailed statement that Betty was “a remarkable woman who will be sorely missed.” “Her enthusiasm and compassion

he jerseys have been folded away, the flags have been removed from car windows, and the Green Men have rolled up their spandex suits until next fall. After that outpouring of fannish energy for the Canucks, I was inspired to write about the first spectator sport that worked its fans into a lather. How far back do we have to go to find a team sport that combined passion, high pay, violence, and occasional riots the way modern hockey does? Farther than you might think. The concept of modern team sports was essentially invented (or re-invented—I’ll get to that later) by the Victorians, who then spread their ideas around the world by conquering bits of it. The Victorians gave formal rules to sports that had begun as rough peasant games. At first, many of these were intended as activities for gentlemen. In other words, you were supposed to do them for the sake of manly competition, healthy exercise, and so that you would be fit enough to beat the tar out of some other nationality’s menfolk. But people liked watching them. The mass media spread the glory of winners far and wide. So professionals, usually from working-class backgrounds, dominated the sports, driving out the upper-class amateurs. Much the same thing had hap-

MATTHEW CLAXTON

Be Our Guest pened more than 2,000 years before. The sport wasn’t polo or soccer, it was chariot racing. Like modern cycle racing, it was a team sport with an individual winner. During the Roman era, two competing teams, the Reds and the Whites, arose. By the later imperial era, and during the Byzantine Empire, they were joined by the Blues and the Greens, which soon became dominant factions. The races were brutal. Drivers from the same team worked together to put the best driver in position to win. Forcing an opponent to crash into the stone pillars in the centre of the arena was an acceptable tactic. Drivers were tied to their horses, so if their chariot crashed they had just seconds to slice through their reins with a knife, or be dragged or trampled to death. Few professional charioteers lived long enough to retire, and most were slaves. But they were slaves who could rise high and become wealthy beyond measure. One of the most famous was Gaius Appuleius Diocles, who accumulated 35,863,120 sesterces

in prize money in the 2nd century. One professor, Peter Struck, noted that this was enough money to fund the entire Roman army for more than two months. He compared that to the amount needed to fund the US Army for the same time—$15 billion. While not a perfect comparison, that would make Diocles the best-paid athlete in history, period. Partisans of the Blues and Greens became split between different social classes, and Byzantine emperors publicly supported one team or the other. The Emperor Justinian supported the Blues; his wife Theodora was a commoner whose father had been an animal trainer for the faction. They almost fell victim to the partisanship of the hippodrome. In 532 AD, unhappy with high taxes, the Blues and Greens both started a week-long riot (called the Nika Riot; Nika means “victory” or “conquer”) and a siege of the palace in Constantinople, after a chariot race. The riot ended when a popular general bribed the Blue leaders with a literal big bag of money. The Greens were slaughtered. We complain about modern day soccer hooligans and hockey riots, but the Nika Riots burned half a city to the ground and almost toppled an empire. Kind of puts the Stanley Cup in perspective. ◗ Matthew Claxton is a reporter with the LangleyAdvance.

mmediately after the Vancouver riots, lots of people pointed fingers. Unfortunately, few pointed the finger at themselves. The police blamed anarchists. Those who dislike capitalism blamed capitalism. Women blamed men. Those who dislike hockey blamed hockey. Those who can’t afford a home blamed house prices. And so on. Similarly, those who considered themselves fans of the Canucks declared, “Those aren’t Canucks fans.” We are now learning that, aside from being teens or 20-somethings with a predilection towards binge drinking, the people who took part in last Wednesday’s riots were essentially a demographic reproduction of the population of Southern B.C. There were women and there were men. There were capitalists (as evidenced by the Craigslist postings for likely-looted Louis Vuitton swag) and possibly even anarchists (although we have seen little evidence of that, yet). There were people from Vancouver Island, Maple Ridge, Chilliwack and Vancouver. There were students from privilege, and students who worked to pay their way through school. And, unless those anarchists were hiding in $140 replica jerseys, there were also plenty of Canucks fans. (However, it should be noted that these were hockey fans only because Canadians—including both those who would flip police cars and those who prefer to volunteer flipping pancakes on the weekend—are crazy about hockey. If this were England, we would be rioting over soccer.) To blame others, or politically convenient or preferred scapegoats, for what was, in essence, a breakdown of society into a Hobbesian/Lord of the Flies free-for-all, is ridiculous. Something failed those who took part in the riot, and particularly those involved on the person-on-person violence. It’s hard to say what, exactly, went wrong. But such an instantaneous collapse of morals speaks to the need of parents to, in the weeks and months to come, discuss the situation with their children and explain why what happened after the game was unacceptable, not only on a legal level, but on a moral level as well.

Letters

Chilliwack Gymnastics Club

Free speech is the paramount issue

Editor: As a non-religious member of the Chilliwack community, I felt compelled to respond to Ms. Montague’s letter regarding teen abortion. As a proud parent (and grandparent) of a 22-yearold daughter, 18-year-old daughter and 17-year-old son, I brought Ms. Montague’s letter to their attention. What followed was a frank 10-minute discussion on women’s reproductive rights. Firstly, abortion is a woman’s legal right in Canada.

Secondly, the kids found that Ms. Montague’s claim: “Unwanted pregnancies happen when children have sex and now that it’s legal to kill those babies, people view abortion as a method of birth control. Being too young to realize the responsibility of sex and the dangers of abortion . . .” to be laughable at first. But when my 18-year-old daughter (who just graduated high school last Friday) pointed out that legal abortions in Canada are quite safe and we have yet to see any facts on the claim that “people view abortion as a method of birth control,” we realized how misleading and potentially dangerous Ms. Montague’s letter could be to a teen or adult seeking factual information on a legal procedure. As the conversation continued, my kids had some valid points. My eldest was honest enough to recall her first time, and not once did she think of anything Ms. Montague has suggested in her letter. My son was quick to respond about various other forms of birth control (pill, condoms, etc.), which the letter writer never addresses. We wondered why? But then we realized where this person was from, and without mentioning religion in her letter, the kids concluded that Ms. Montague’s veiled attempt to mislead readers with her religious beliefs (why don’t you just tell us your church frowns upon abortion Katey?) wasn’t very “Christian” of her.

But that’s another 10-minute discussion. Jim Craig Chilliwack

60th CSS grad reunion a treat Editor: The cafeteria in the Chilliwack senior high school building on Yale Road East was the venue chosen for our June 10, 60th year grad reunion of the CHS class of 1951. Holding hands, as we usually do, my husband and I walked from our car towards the school building we attended years ago. As we approached the building, we found ourselves walking among the current students on their lunch break. Inwardly, I felt I quite fit in with them because I am young at heart; but outwardly, I knew we were a few generations apart. It was a wonderful reunion, attended by close to 80 people, about half of them were grads and the rest were spouses or guests. That was a good turnout. We enjoyed talking with former classmates and were served a delicious luncheon prepared in the school kitchen and served by current students. We sang our old school song (we still knew the words and melody), and recited our school yells (yes, we still yelled). Special appreciation goes to the people who organized the event. We are a tremendous age group. We may have been born during Canada’s Great Economic

Property taxes misunderstood Editor: I bought a place in Sardis a while ago.

Editor: Re: “Abortion Protest Crosses the Line” (Times, June 7) In general, the right to free speech is of paramount importance. However, with every right comes a responsibility. Did the protesters cross the line into irresponsibility? I think not, though I have concerns. If they cause an accident in traffic, as Mr. Byers suggests nearly happened, they should be punishable by law. Otherwise, the potential for harm resulting from the thrusting of provocative anti-abortion words and images is small compared to the value of political speech. Remembering Voltaire on democracy: “I disagree strongly with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” I applaud anyone who has the courage to publicly express their beliefs. However, the protesters must be reminded that their actions could have serious consequences to passersby, both physical (e.g. accident) as well as emotional. As for those who are complaining about the protest, why not wage your own public awareness campaign? Hold on, some of you are doing just that by phoning civic officials, writing letters to local papers, etc. Good on you all! Tom Hartley Chilliwack

More than 1,000 athletes from 24 public and independent schools in and around Chilliwack took part in the 50th anniversary track and field meet Thursday.

Celebrating 50 years of track & field

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

he Chilliwack elementary schools track and field meet marked its 50th anniversary last Thursday. More than 1,000 aspiring athletes from 24 public and independent schools in and around Chilliwack tested their mettle in the 100-metre, 200-metre, 400-metre, 800-metre, 1500-metre, long jump, high jump, shot put and ball throw. Besides ribbons for first to eighth place in individual events, eight talented youngsters also won aggregate trophies as the top boy or girl in each age group. Promontory’s Jack Fleming took the aggregate title for nine-year-old boys, while Cheam’s Kate Klassen took top spot among nine-year-old girls. East Chilliwack swept the 10-yearold division, with Jalen Edwards taking the boys’ title and Jordan Huitema winning the girls.

“I think the meet has lasted so long due to the commitment of the teachercoaches and the many volunteers.”

Roberta Smith In the 11-year-old division, Unsworth’s Mike Fitzsimmons captured the boys’ title, while Promontory’s Nikki Gregory took top spot among the girls. Sardis elementary’s Brandon Bateman was first in the 12-year-old boys’ division, while Bernard’s Leslie Coe captured the 12-years-old girls’ crown. Two students also set meet records. Greendale’s Sienna Lenz leaped to a new record in the 11-year-old girls high jump: 1.32 metres. And Promontory’s Nikki Gregory dashed to a new 29.83-second record in the 200m. To mark the 50th anniversary, all

participants were given a commemorative golden ribbon and Mayor Sharon Gaetz was on hand to share a few words about the importance of fitness. Every year more than 100 volunteers, including teachers, parents, grandparents, high school students and members of the Chilliwack Track and Field Club, put on the event, and, according to meet director Roberta Smith, that has been the key to the event’s longevity. “I think the meet has lasted so long due to the commitment of the teacher-coaches and the many volunteers,” she said. “Many of the key helpers keep coming back every year, even when they no longer have kids in school…The other reason for its success is that the kids love it. They are all so excited (and nervous) and love to cheer on their classmates. It is the only opportunity for the younger children to be part of a school team and to participate in such an exciting event.”

In reality, it’s not like we get paid an excessive amount. No one does it for the money. Everyone does it because they love it. “It’s called ‘the beautiful game’ and it really is.

there are . . . critiques, shall we say,” he told the Times. “But there’s a lot of off-field stuff which is kind of like playing on the team, but is also different just because of the people who referee. All of us are different in some way from what you get on a normal team.” Davies won’t be playing soccer in college, but he plans to keep pushing his refereeing skills as far as they will take them.

o the observer, refereeing can be a thankless task. But for Thomas Davies, it’s better than playing. Last week, Davies became the first Chilliwack FC member to receive a BC Soccer Associationscholarshipwhen he was handed the Pacific Coast Soccer League (PCSL) Scholarship for $1,200. Davies, who plans to take business courses at UFV next year, plays on Chilliwack FC’s provincial championship-bound U-18 Gold squad. But his real passion is policing the game. Davies has refereed PCSL games for three years now, and figures that that involvement helped him land the scholarship. He also officiates university-level and Premier Development League games and is currently in the midst of upgrading to advance toward the next level of officiating, which he describes as the “high amateur ranks.” “For some reason, I always wanted to do reffing. I don’t know why, but I remember being eight or nine and counting down the years until I could,” said Davies. Actually, he has one theory of why refereeing could appeal to a pre-teen. “When you’re 12, the concept of having power over adults is kind of addicting, I will say that,” he said, with a laugh. Davies said that while refereeing may look stressful to an outsider, the unseen camaraderie amongst officials makes it worthwhile. “Obviously on the field, everyone enjoys what you’re doing but there’s always a negative on the field because

Dahl sets Canadian bench record BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

irst time was a charm for a Chilliwack realtor who set a new Canadian powerlifting record last weekend. Lifting in his first competition, 61-year-old Al Dahl bench pressed 386 pounds to take first place in his 259pound weight class and 61to-67-year-old division at a World Association of Benchers and Dead Lifters event on Saturday in Olympia, Wash. In doing so he qualified for the World Powerlifting Championships, to be held in Reno, Nevada later this year. His fourth attempt broke a Canadian record, but Dahl told the Times that he can do even better. “I think I can do a little more than that,” he said. Dahl, who has been training for two years with Abbotsford powerlifter Jon Wolbers, said it was a thrill to lift in a competition with hundreds of spectators looking on. “It was really exciting,” he said. “It’s more of an adrenaline rush, with the audience there. There’s probably 300

Submitted photo

Al Dahl people in the audience, so it’s pretty intense.” But when it comes down to lifting the weight over one’s head, all that practice comes in handy. “It’s the same as in training.

Three-year-old Taylor Unwin and mom Jessica try their luck in the rain at the Greg Clark Memorial Family Fishing Derby at Cultus Lake on Saturday.

onstant rain didn’t stop 900 junior and adult anglers from taking part in the annual Greg Clark Memorial Family Fishing Derby at Cultus Lake on Saturday. By the 2 p.m. deadline, 754 pike minnows had been hauled in and weighed but no fish tagged by the Fraser Valley Salmon Society were recaptured, which would have won an angler $500. The winner of the Greg Clark Memoiral Trophy for the junior division was Liam Rihela with a 900-gram pike minnow. Riheal was also the top junior boy division winner and took home a mountain bike and riding gear. Aiden Dewit was second with an 880-gram fish and Jack Pinker was third with his 650gram pike minnow. Cole Duffy caught the most pike minnows among the boys at 20. Tegan Jones won the junior girls class with a 470-gram fish and also took home a mountain bike and riding gear.

Emma Kelly was second with a 320-gram pike minnow and Brook Snow was third with her 60-gram fish. Brook Curtis caught the most pike minnows in the junior girls division with a total of nine. Terry Summer caught the largest fish in the adult division with a 1.66-kilogram pike minnow, giving him a prize of a Fish Cat U boat, rod and reel combo along with a tackle box full of fishing gear. Justin Robert was second with a 1.28-kilogram fish and Dale Billsten finished in third with a 1.02-kilogram pike minnow. The most pike minnows caught by an adult was 146 by Daniel Krenz with Peter Buck in second with 96. Mike Guthrie won the Bill Otway Memorial prize draw in memory of Otway who passed away this past year. Otway was an advocate for fishers and hunters throughout British Columbia and Canada for many years.

Local biz man fined for tax evasion

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

Chilliwack businessman received a fine and a conditional sentence order after pleading guilty to tax evasion. Reginald Gienger entered guity pleas to three counts of tax evasion.

He was fined $49,216—representing three-quarters of the federal taxes he evaded—and handed a 15-month conditional sentence to be served in the community. An investigation by the Canada Revenue Agency revealed that Gienger— who operates a home inspection and construction business—failed to report

just under $300,000 of taxable income from 2005 to 2008. By not reporting that income, he evaded just under $50,000 of federal income taxes. He was also able to claim nearly $10,000 of child tax benefits and evade $5,767 worth of GST. In addition to the fine, Gienger must also repay all taxes owing, plus interest.

Mayor Sharon Gaetz and Bike to Work winner Evelyn Appleton.

Bike ride replaces winner’s old walk

hilliwack middle school student Evelyn Appleton is the winner of the Bike to Work raffle for the City of Chilliwack’s annual challenge. The 15-year-old usually walks the 30 minutes to and from school, but can now ride a Giant Sedona bike, courtesy of Pedal Sport and the City of Chilliwack. “The goal of the Bike to Work challenge is to get as many people as possible to try out different means of getting to and from work or school that cause less pollution and promote an active lifestyle,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz in a press release. The Bike to Work Challenge has two components: one for the public and the second as an interdepart-

mental challenge for staff. Anyone from the public who participated, could enter the draw for a new bike. People could make one draw entry every day they commuted sustainably over the twoweek period. Ballots were accepted online, by mail or in person at city hall. This year the city received 570 entries from the public: 349 online ballots and 221 paper ballots. This year’s interdepartmental challenge saw 103 participants log a total of more than 8,900 kilometres of sustainable commuting. That is almost exactly the distance from Chilliwack to Moscow, Russia. The department with the highest participation rate was planning and strategic initiatives with 100 per cent.

Hard work and a thirst for knowledge sets them apart SCHOLARSHIPS, from page 1 becoming a doctor or getting his Associate of the Royal Conservatory of Music diploma, into smaller sections. “What makes me able to be successful is that I can plan and strategize,” he said. All three budding scholars also stressed the importance of making learning meaningful, even in courses they don’t like.

“It’s all in the attitude. If I kind of train myself to think that it’s kind of interesting, the material I’m learning is interesting.

volunteering with their school’s humanitarian club (like Ohm) or putting in time as a rehearsal pianist for a local musical theatre group (like Meldrum). “It shows in reference letters and on scholarship applications whether you have joined something for the sake of joining, or if you actually put time and effort

Is there a goal beyond university degrees and good jobs for Chilliwack’s top academic prospects? “Success, I guess, would be satisfaction with what I’m doing,” said Davies. “Of course, financial security would be certainly useful in that.” “I like the idea of being able to change people’s lives,” said Meldrum, looking ahead to his work as a doctor. “My ultimate goal is just becoming an individual,” said Ohm.

Hunting bugs leads to silver medal UFV ag grad gets L-G award for school work

o borrow from the popular Ghostbusters theme, if you’re a farmer and you want to know what pests are eating your crops, “who ya gonna call?” UFV’s Alicia Powell of Chilliwack should be the top person on your go-to list. Powell, 20, is graduating this month from UFV ’s horticulture crop production and protection certificate program. For somone who loves being outdoors, wants to protect the environment, enjoys nurturing plants to full potential, but wasn’t quite sure of a career goal, the 10-month program was the perfect choice. Powell graduated from Sardis Secondary two years ago and it was there that she first made the connection with UFV’s agriculture department. UFV partners with the high school, and instructor Tom Baumann teaches an introductory horticulture course that students can take while also taking their Grade 11 and 12 agriculture classes. “There was a real connection between the UFV staff and the students at Sardis,” said Powell. “They helped us with our plant sale and I remember visiting the UFV

Alicia Powell, 20, found her niche in UFV’s horticulture crop production and protection certificate program. campus and I just loved it.” Powell is a fast learner. Not only has she graduated and landed a job in her chosen field, she also won the LieutenantGovernor’ssilvermedal for her academic accomplishments. The medal is awarded annually to students in vocational or career programs that are less than two years long who have excelled in their studies and also contributed to their post-secondary insti-

tution or their community. Baumann says Powell is the perfect candidate for such recognition. She is an enthusiastic and natural leader in the classroom and consistently produces excellent work in class, on exams, and for all assignments. Her handson approach to learning and helping in the classroom was remarkable and she is a great example to other students. “It was always a pleasure

having Alicia in my classes, as she actively contributes to class discussions in a very professional and intelligent manner, drawing from science studies and experience,” Baumann said. “She adds a lot of spark to discussions and in my opinion will do very well in her further schooling and horticulture career. Baumann said it is Powell’s volunteer work that makes her stand out from the crowd.

Submitted

She continues to volunteer at Sardis Secondary and helped with the school’s plant sale this year—one of the most successful sales in the school’s history. The university’s horticulture crop production and protection certificate program is an intensive option that teaches innovation production techniques and pest biology methods to protect cash crops. Powell is currently

working with E.S. CropConsult Ltd. as a “scout” and scans farmers’ fields looking for destructive pests. “My job is to walk through the fields, and inspect selected rows of plants for bugs, diseases, viruses or other pests,” she said. Once Powell determines if pests are in the area, her team at E.S. CropConsult comes up with a pest control management plan. While it sounds easy, agriculture is a multi-billion dollar industry in the Lower Mainland and correct pest management is vital. Integrated pest management is a science that controls destructive pests with a combination of tools—cultural, biological, physical and chemical—in an economically and environmentally sustainable way. As a scout, she monitors fields for insects, viruses, and disease on a regular basis until the crop is harvested. Pest scouts are used by field and greenhouse growers of most plants, including potatoes, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes, and the lucrative berry crops. To be good at her job, not only does Powell have to know how to identify the pests (and know which ones might be beneficial to a particular crop), she also needs to know pest life cycles, what helps the crop thrive, how to collect the correct data, and how to make recommendations based on what she finds.

Local harvest on display

his year’s Chilliwack Farmers Market is continuing the steady year-overyear growth in both farm vendors and families shopping for fresh, local food direct from the source, according to market manager Geoffrey Dalman. If you make it, bake it or grow it, you can sell it at the Chilliwack Farmers Market. “As the general manager of the farmers market, I am particularly excited about a few new things at this year’s market,” Geoffrey Dalman said in a press release. “Encouraged by, and building on, previous years success, many returning farmers have specially planned their vegetable garden harvests to ensure a healthy variety of fresh produce at the Chilliwack Farmers Market every Saturday morning throughout the summer starting on June 25 running 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Additionally, the Chilliwack Farmers Mar-

ket management continues to develop and secure local business markets for its participating farms and producers. Preliminary negotiations have already been started and continue to give local farmers special access to the shelf space of local retailers 24 hours a day, seven days a week, according to Dalman. More details will be provided as discussions progress. For the shoppers coming to this year’s Chilliwack Farmers Market, they can expect more vendors, music and fun for the whole family. Don’t forget the market is every Saturday during the summer, at 10015 Young Rd. in the front parking lot of the Minter Country Garden store. ◗ For more information and contact details please go to the website at www.ChilliwackFarmersMarket.com.

Here's How It Works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must ﬁll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can ﬁgure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

Like puzzles? Then you'll love Sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off, so sharpen your pencil and put your Sudoku savvy to the test! June 21
