■ ROLLOVER CRASH
An RCMP officer investigates the scene where a 20-year-old woman flipped her car while travelling southbound on Wiltshire Street, just south of Stevenson Road on Thursday. The woman was the only person in the Chevrolet Cavalier at the time. She was not seriously hurt, nor did she collide with anything else. Before the rollover happened, one witness said, the driver was sitting in her parked car about a hundred metres north. The woman then drove off and moments later the witness heard a crash. RCMP continue to investigate. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Court ruling welcomed by Sto:lo
Jennifer FeinbergThe Progress
It’s going to be a game-changer in the struggle for aboriginal rights and title.
A court case for aboriginal title that took almost 25 years for the Tsilhqot’in Nation of B.C. is going to have implica-tions for First Nations in Chilliwack — as well as clear across the country.
A historic ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada upholds the BC Supreme Court decision recognizing aboriginal title to huge tracts of land totalling almost 2,000 square km in the heart of the Tsilhquot’in territory, west of Williams Lake.
Sto:lo leaders had similar reactions.Joe Hall, president of Sto:lo Nation
Chiefs’ Council, took a break from trea-ty meetings to describe how he sees Supreme Court decision.
“As you’d expect, we are very pleased with the decision,” he said. “In sum-mary, the government has been told it can’t run roughshod over First Nations’ rights.”
Sto:lo legal counsel is still scouring the 80-plus page decision for “pieces” they can implement in their ongoing treaty talks.
“It came with a message that it’s time for governments to start following the Supreme Court rulings on aboriginal title, it’s time to go back and negoti-ate. It’s been made clear they need to consult, and then accommodate First Nations to resolve the issues,” Hall said.
The court ruling has “tremendous” implications for current treaty discus-sions, and touches on a range of areas of interest to Sto:lo communities, including future resource development on their territories, Hall said.
There are many projects and ven-tures put on hold, pending resolution of outstanding questions around aboriginal rights and title, he noted.
Summer school pickets next: BCTFTom FletcherBlack Press
Teacher pickets will target locations where summer school is being carried out if they don’t have a settlement of their strike by June 30.
BC Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker announced that decision Wednesday, as he prepared for the first meet-ing with BC Public School Employers’ Association since a full-scale strike began June 17. The meeting has been charac-terized as “exploratory talks”
dealing with possible mediation.BCPSEA has applied to the
Labour Relations Board for summer school offerings to be declared essential services, if they are “secondary remedial programs provided to students who have failed a secondary level course.”
Summer programs for ele-mentary school students, inter-national students or secondary students trying to improve a passing grade would not be pro-tected by an LRB order, mean-ing the majority of summer pro-grams wouldn’t go ahead.
Iker said the union is also considering the plight of B.C.’s five modified calendar schools, which have three month-long breaks instead of the traditional summer vacation.
They are in the middle of their final three-month term and are facing more disruption than other schools. BCPSEA has also applied for essential service protection so they can resume operation.
Iker said if there is no deal by June 30, BCTF negotiators would be available to continue talks, rather than take the sum-
mer off as they have done in previous disputes.
The two sides remain far apart on wages and benefits, with a long-running dispute over class size and special needs sup-port levels going back to court this fall.
Chilliwack school district, meanwhile, was holding a spe-cial board meeting Thursday evening to consider how it would handle facility rent-als over the summer months. Check www.theprogress.com for any updates.

NewsCoho to take bigger hit during sockeye fishery
Jennifer FeinbergThe Progress
Some don’t seem to mind the roar of aircraft twisting and soar-ing over Chilliwack, others can’t tolerate it.
High performance planes doing practice runs over Chilliwack skies this week have garnered a few complaints into the Chilliwack airport management.
Since pilot Dave ‘Super Dave’ Mathieson made the Chilliwack Airport his home base a couple of years ago, when summer rolls around, he starts conducting twice daily practice flights.
The debate exploded on social media as commentators were divided over whether they could tolerate, or even enjoy the sound of high performance planes or not.
Many said they loved the free show Super Dave is offering everyone for a few minutes a day, while others said they were quite disturbed by it.
Chilliwack resident Bob Janzen called The Progress to say he doesn’t understand why Super Dave can’t do his manoeuvres and routines elsewhere — not over Chilliwack, for example.
“I appreciate that he has to practice. My concern is the noise. Why can’t he fly 10 kilometres outside the city?”
Janzen said his patio faces the hospital, and he’s concerned it could impact patients as well.
“I phoned around but can’t seem to get any satisfaction about this.”
But Ray Firkus of the Chilliwack Flight Fest Society said he hopes people will understand.
Super Dave obtained all the necessary federal aviation per-mits to do these flights, and he has to practise regularly to keep them.
“They might find it a little noisy, but this airport is a lot less congested than say the one in Vancouver. It’s just that the one
in Chilliwack is in the middle of town.”
It’s true there has been slight-ly more traffic in the skies over Chilliwack than usual lately.
Super Dave and other pilots like him, and those in training have been flying in the skies over Chilliwack to get hours logged for safety reasons. Some are being assessed for air shows by compe-tency evaluators.
“These planes all sound so loud because they’re high perfor-mance planes,” he said.
It’s a business incidentally for show pilots like Super Dave, not a hobby, as some have suggested.
“It’s a matter of trying to prac-tise their business craft and do it safely.”
And only for 15 minutes at a time. He wants folks to under-stand that Super Dave can’t just go elsewhere to practise.
The professional pilot uses the Chilliwack Airport runways as his specific training markers.
“He’s got to hit those marks.”The pilot uses them as visual
cues to aid in timing.It’s crucial to practise the rolls
and hair-raising flips that require split-second timing. Aerobatic pilots also have to get their “g tol-erance” or gravity tolerance built up every season to withstand the effects of the stupendous stunts.
“It’s like any other muscle, if you don’t exercise it, you go downhill fast,” said Firkus.
Super Dave has to stay in tip-top form to perform every year in air shows like the Chilliwack Flight Fest.
“Air show performers take an inherent risk when they do an air show - but the public does not,” he explained.
The pilots fly with a cap of 800 feet, which gives them an “aero-batic box” that keeps them 500 feet from the crowd.
There’s also an economic argument to be made. Pilots like Mathieson purchase airport han-
gar space or get their planes ser-viced here and it means tens of thousands in spinoffs.
One pilot coming in from Arizona will be spending $60,000 to get his plane worked on here, because he’ll be working with the local pilot.
“These are just two outfits over the last two months. Dave is showcasing what we can do here in Chilliwack. If he wasn’t here, that business would go else-where.”
The airport is actively try-ing to attract new business to Chilliwack.
Magnum Management offi-cials who manage the airport operations just set up a way for the public to communicate with them, since many were trying to phone in noise complaints. Anyone with concerns can email to: [email protected]

Loud aircraft in Chilliwack spurs debate, again
Jeff NagelBlack Press
Conservationists say a federally approved fishing plan sacrifices too many endangered coho salmon so fishing companies can catch more of an expected massive run of Fraser River sockeye this summer.
The predicted bonanza of sock-eye – 23 million with a chance it could be more than 70 million – means there’s intense pressure for fishermen to capitalize on the huge run.
But if too many coho are caught in the nets along with sockeye, it could be a major setback for
Interior coho runs that were nearly wiped out in the late 1990s and had been gradually rebuilding.
In past years, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) has limited that unintentional bycatch to three per cent of the incom-ing coho run – once that many coho were caught sockeye fisher-ies were usually halted to protect weaker runs.
But DFO’s newly released plan more than quadruples that limit to a maximum 16 per cent of the coho run that can be killed this year by Canadian fishermen, not counting any bycatch by Americans.
“It should be called an overfish-
ing plan,” said Watershed Watch Salmon Society biologist Aaron Hill, who accuses fishery manag-ers of neglecting their duty to pro-tect weak stocks.
“The main reason this is happen-ing is because of heavy lobbying from the fishing interests who want to be able to catch more sockeye.”
A DFO letter to stakeholders says the changes will only be in effect for the 2014 season and was informed by an internal scientific review.
But Hill contends there is no scientific consensus on the safety of the coho protection measures.
Gord Sterritt, executive direc-
tor of the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance, which represents 23 First Nations from Williams Lake to the Fraser’s head-waters, said aboriginal stakehold-ers were prepared to accept some increase in allowed coho bycatch in recognition that this is “a unique year” but said DFO’s decision goes too far.
“Basically they are opening the season on endangered species,” Sterritt said. “We’ve been in con-servation mode trying to protect these stocks since 1998. We’ve seen some recovery in the last three years. But it’s still iffy.”
Conservationists argue more
sockeye could be taken without put-ting coho at risk through increased use of selective in-river fisheries, which First Nations have practised for centuries.
DFO spokesperson Michelle Imbeau said the higher permitted bycatch should still allow enough coho upriver to spawn to meet con-servation recovery targets, based on an estimated run size of 50,000 coho.
Hill singled out the Jim Pattison Group’s Canadian Fishing Co. (Canfisco) as a main lobbyist for looser coho safeguards.
Health care workers ratify five-year contract

Jeff NagelBlack Press
Unionized health care workers have ratified a new five-year contract that brings B.C. closer to long-term labour peace in hospitals and care homes.
The collective agreement reached earlier this month with 11 unions averted a possible strike by 47,000 health support workers, most of them represented by the Hospital Employees Union. It was approved by a 64.6 per cent vote in favour.
The deal provides wage hikes of 5.5 per cent over five years and includes a cap on contracting out of 500 full-time equivalent positions.
It also covers ambulance paramed-ics, with specific provisions related to their issues.
HEU secretary-business manager Bonnie Pearson said the agreement provides some stability and certainty in a sector that’s been racked by privatization and restructuring.
Union members had voted 96 per cent in favour of strike action in May.
The agreement is within the limits of the province’s economic stability mandate, meaning health workers are eligible for further pay hikes if the province’s economy does better than forecast.
“This agreement helps ensure sus-tainability, both in costs and service delivery,” said Michael Marchbank, president of the Health Employers Association of B.C.
He said it also further integrates emergency health services into the broader health care system and paves the way for the province-wide implementation of a paramedicine program.
The province now has similar long-term deals with 75,000 unionized health care workers.

Bamboo is an eco-friendly, highly renewable source of material which grows
much faster than traditional hardwoods. Moso Bamboo is the primary species
used for the manufacturing of flooring and it can grow up to 4’ per day and 75’
in 45 days. It takes about 3-5 years for Bamboo to reach maturity. Traditional
hardwoods take 20-120 years to mature. Bamboo can be harvested without
replanting and in a sustainably harvested forest only 20% of the forest is
harvested annually allowing for 100% harvest in a 5 year period. Bamboo
naturally needs no irrigation, no fertilizers and no pesticides as it has very
few pests. Trillium Bamboo Flooring is certified to meet the standards of the
Forest Stewardship Council for environmental and social responsibility.

“The government negotia-tors and ministry officials will have to look closely at their mandates and review them in light of this ruling,” Hall said.
Even the future of Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion, or Enbridge’s Gateway project, as examples could be affected by the latest ruling or eventu-ally stalled.
Grand Chief Doug Kelly of Sto:lo Tribal Council said even though the STC is not in the treaty process, the ruling still has key implications for all.
“First off I want to con-gratulate the Tsilhquot’in
chiefs, leaders and citizens of the Tsilhquot’in Nation for pursuing this title case right through to the Supreme Court of Canada.
“They have achieved a sig-nificant victory and they serve all B.C. First Nations with their victory.”
Governments at the federal and provincial level will have to heed the ramifications, and review their mandates accord-ingly, Kelly said.
“This now creates the space for dialogue with federal and provincial governments on the renewal of those impoverished treaty mandates,” he said.
Federal government aspira-
tions to energy projects, like Gateway or the provincial pur-suit of LNG might have to shift in light of this legal develop-ment.
“Governments will be study-ing the court decision to make changes to the way they con-sult, and accommodate First Nations, as well as how they plan and design projects that will have an impact on First Nations’ homelands.”
It’s also a clear message to industry along those same lines.
“It will take changes to the way they do business, such as involving First Nations very early in the process. They need
to see what kinds of projects are acceptable and they need to design projects that are prof-itable but also gain support of First Nations governments.”
The sooner they engage aboriginal participation in the process, the sooner they will learn which projects are no-go.
“In closing, this is not the first time First Nations have secured victory at the Supreme Court. But I am hope-ful the law and order party, the Conservatives, will begin to heed aboriginal case law, and do the work necessary to ade-quately engage First Nations.”

The province has plugged a loophole that could have let new medical marijuana pro-ducers dodge most of their property tax bills by gaining farm tax status.
They’re now exclud-ed from the list of agricultural uses that qualify for the lower agricultural tax rate.
Several Lower
Mainland cities had feared they might lose property tax revenue if new cannabis produc-ers set up on industrial land and then ask B.C. Assessment to convert them to farm tax sta-tus.
“There’s a collective sigh of relief among municipalities,” Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin said of the decision, which takes effect in 2015.
The provincial gov-
ernment is also advis-ing municipalities not to try to ban medical marijuana operators from the Agricultural Land Reserve, caution-ing that they might face a court challenge.
Several cities have passed bylaws allow-ing pot producers to operate only on indus-trial land, so the high-ly secure bunker-like buildings don’t effec-tively pave over pro-ductive farmland.
While the province views medical pot as a viable ALR use, it would not qualify for farm tax status there either, joining the ranks of gravel pits, wineries and other activities allowed in the ALR but denied the reduced tax rate.
The federal gov-ernment has so far issued five medical marijuana produc-tion licenses in B.C. to operators in Central
Saanich, Maple Ridge, Whistler, Nanaimo and Spallumcheen.
Hundreds of other licence applications are under consider-ation.
But the federal government’s shift to a system of commer-cial growers remains under a legal cloud, awaiting a court chal-lenge by authorized medical pot users who want to retain the right to grow their own.
Medical pot farms won’t get property tax break
COURT from Front
Court ruling ‘a significant victory’
Katie BartelThe Progress
Bettina Rillera is proof grades aren’t every-thing.
Even though the Chilliwack secondary school student finished Grade 11 with a respect-
able high B average, she was unsure she’d be accepted into Shad Valley. So much so, she left her application to the four-week summer enrichment program to the last minute.
With just one week before the deadline, at
the urging of both her mother and sister, Rillera scrambled to write three essays, put together a resume, gather refer-ence letters, and create a chart of all her extracur-ricular activities, employ-ment and volunteering commitments.
“I wasn’t actually going to apply, I honestly thought I wasn’t capable of being accepted into something like this,” she said. “I just thought that other people would probably have way bet-ter marks, way better extracurriculars, way better self confidence. I just didn’t think I was good enough.”
Her family, her sup-porters, and Shad Valley all thought otherwise.
This Sunday Rillera is heading to the University of Saskatchewan for the Shad Valley program.
Out of more than 1,200 applicants, Rillera was one of 620 youth selected, and the only one from Chilliwack.
Shad Valley is a four-week, summer-enrichment program for hard-working, highly academic, driven high school students inter-ested in areas of science, engineering, technology, entrepreneurship, inno-vation and mathematics.
It has campuses at
12 universities across Canada, and gives par-ticipants a first look into university life with daily workshops, lectures, projects and team-build-ing exercises.
It’s an educational journey meant to push intellectual, creative, and leadership skills to the next level.
Rillera was surprised by her acceptance, but guessed her volunteer endeavours had some-thing to do with it.
Since she was 11 or 12, Rillera has been vol-unteering for an assort-ment of agencies. Before being hired as a swim instructor, she volun-teered at the YMCA with child-minding and as a helper with swim les-sons; she’s ben a camp counsellor; volunteered for the Rotary Club; and for the last two years, has been vice president on student council at Chilliwack secondary. She’s also an active member in the CSS Envirothon Club, a com-petitive soccer player, and a budding artist.
“I think it was, hon-estly, my all-around volunteering,” she said. “Grades aren’t every-thing, they want to see a well-rounded person.
Shad Valley is rec-ognized by universities
across Canada and is considered for univer-sity admissions and scholarship decisions. Several universities have scholarships geared spe-cifically for Shad Valley graduates.
Rillera, who’s looking at a career in forensics, hopes the experience will boost her confi-dence.
“I think it will help me push myself more into studying and thinking at a higher a level, a uni-versity level, for my grad year so that I’m better prepared for university,” she said.

Ronald McDonald House® BC is growing.The new Ronald McDonald House BC opens in June. A home away from home for seriously ill children receiving treatment at BC Children’s Hospital, the new and bigger House has enough room to welcome 73 families every day, keeping 2,500 families per year together when it matters most.Also opening in June, the new Ronald McDonald® Family Room at Surrey Memorial Hospital, the fi rst of its kind in BC, will give families of children receiving treatment a quiet area to rest, shower, or even stay overnight.

Canfisco vice-presi-dent Rob Morley said there’s broad support for the plan in the com-mercial and recreation-al fishing sectors.
“In our view, the scientific analysis the department has done themselves shows the harvest at these levels are sustainable and don’t cause any conser-vation issues,” he said.
Besides coho, some weak runs of sockeye that return to Cultus Lake, Pitt Lake, Bowron Lake and Taseko Lake could also be at great-er risk in a summer of heavy fishing for the abundant sockeye runs.
The sockeye now migrating back to B.C. from the north Pacific are the spawn of the massive 2010 run when 30 million unexpectedly returned.
Last year’s return
of four million sock-eye was more typi-cal of recent years,
although the numbers have improved since just 1.6 million sock-
eye returned in 2009, triggering the Cohen Inquiry.

PointsProgressThe ChilliwackThe Chilliwack Progress is published by Black Press Group Ltd., every Wednesday and
Friday at 45860 Spadina Ave., Chilliwack. The Progress is a member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association, British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspaper Association and B.C. Press Council.
Few labour disputes have been as bitter and as entrenched as the standoff between the British Columbia Teachers Federation and the provincial government. With millions of dollars separat-ing the chance of a deal before month’s end, even the #1 go-to guy Vince Ready said thanks but no thanks to helping them resolve the mess. While BCTF is looking for a plan B mediator, thoughts are that mediation at this state of the game won’t yield a deal.
Meanwhile, kids and parents are caught in the middle worry-ing about grades, report cards and the assurance that summer school will be open for those needing/wanting to take extra courses or upgrade their marks in anticipation of making their course-load lighter next school year. I hate to say, assuming there is one.
Searching for an answer, Mike Lombardi, vice-chair of the Vancouver School Board floated the idea on Wednesday of appoint-ing an industrial inquiry commis-
sioner to bring the parties together. Apparently, anoth-er teacher’s dis-pute was resolved that way back in 2005. The commis-sioner, Lombardi said, would have the power to make binding public recommendations to be put before
the two sides.With nothing else in sight, why
not?Just about everyone is fed up
with this fight. It’s become, quite frankly, dysfunctional. And with this school year winding down, the provincial government has
applied to the Labour Relations Board to have summer school designated an essential service, forcing striking teachers to teach remedial courses to high school students.
Half of the province’s school districts run summer schools and some 50,000 students take advan-tage of them not only to improve their grades but to get ahead of the curve. Some of them are international students needing special programs but the prov-ince is focusing on the remedial level to get essential service sta-tus.
But if that flies and summer school is deemed ‘essential’, why isn’t school essential? After all, according to the UN Declaration of the Rights of the Children, every child has the fundamental right to an education. It’s pretty harsh that the BCTF has already decided to picket summer school
facilities should they be up and running. That’s a pretty brutal way of punishing students trying to get ahead.
According to Minister of Education Peter Fassbender, the union’s wage and benefit demands alone are more than twice what other unions have settled for. And other contract demands have pushed the two parties millions of dollars apart.
The province is in a strong position. It is years away from another election, having won a majority last year, and they are sticking to the balanced budget mandate. The teachers aren’t the only unionized workforce to be dealt with. The province has settled with other unions in which public sector workers have agreed to a modest 5.5 per cent raise over five years compared to the teachers’ demand for an 8 per cent raise with a hefty $5,000
signing bonus. Never mind the millions attached to class size and composition. The province won’t ink a deal in which teachers get way more than anyone else.
While the traditional school year has wound down schools on the alternate, year-round calen-dar are really getting hit as their year doesn’t finish until the end of July. With no settlement, those students could miss six weeks of school, which is totally unac-ceptable.
The province and the BCTF are at a stalemate in a long, bitter 12 year fight and it seems the public are equally divided. In a recent Insights West poll commissioned by CTV News, households with children in public school sup-ported the teachers 46 per cent while 47 per cent supported the government.
This mess has to be settled.
Dysfunctional education relationship needs to be fixedLOCALLY GLOBAL
Happy Birthday, CanadaJuly 1 is Canada’s 147th birthday. This country now has a lengthy his-
tory as an independent nation.For most of the past 147 years, Canada has been respectful of other
countries and of its wide variety of people, who come from widely disparate backgrounds and traditions.
There are some significant exceptions however, which must be stated up front. Canada has done a generally poor job in maintaining good rela-tions with the aboriginal people who were here before any immigrants came from offshore.
It is only in recent years that more Canadians have started to appreci-ate the unique perspective that First Nations people bring to this country. Here in B.C., where we have a wide variety of very different First Nations groups, most of whom have no treaties, First Nations issues are front and centre, as was demonstrated on Thursday by a Supreme Court of Canada decision on aboriginal title, brought forward by the Tsilhqot’in Nation.
The other blot on our history comes in the treatment of Asians, particu-larly the Japanese during the Second World War. While there have been apologies and financial settlements, that aspect of our history is a shame-ful one — as were the discriminatory tactics used to keep out prospective immigrants from China and India.
What Canada does do well, however, is to learn from our past mistakes. This country has always been a grouping of very different people. In 1867, it was the aboriginal people, those of French background, and those of British background.
Since that time, people came to help populate the wide-open spaces in the country, and they have come from all over the world. At first, most came from Europe and the United States. There were also early settlers of Chinese and Japanese backgrounds. In the past 50 years, the doors have been opened wider for people from all over.
Together, these diverse peoples have forged a country respectful of reli-gions, traditions and cultures; committed to fight injustices; economically strong and well-positioned — and one of the best places in the world to live.
Happy Birthday, Canada.~ Black Press

A year ago, while Daisy was pregnant and attending the Better Beginnings prenatal nutrition program, a friend invited Daisy to Downtown Family Place. Daisy was facing an absolutely diffi cult time and welcomed the physical and emotional supports from Family Place with relief.
Daisy enjoyed the comfy couch, coffee and tea and especially the hot cup of soup when she was short on fi nances. On Wednesday evenings from 5:00-7:00 the whole family can share a simple dinner of soup and bread, followed with a fun playtime afterwards.
“I come with my son, now 8 months old, and we take a load off and relax. The staff and volunteers are knowledgeable and warm, creating a comfortable space. It’s conveniently close to where we live and everyone knows my name.”
“Staff teach everyone about child development and parenting in ways that make it easy to learn. Family Place is absolutely fantastic! I appreciate this service and am glad CCS continues to offer it.”
Family Places offer friendly parent support and child development activities in a FREE play-based drop-in program for parents or caregivers and their children ages 0-6. Family Places are found across Canada (www.frpbc.ca) and are open 12 months a year. Contact Sherry Sinclair at [email protected] or 604-793-7205.

Local trustees ‘abdicating’ their roleAfter reading Katie Bartel’s
recent story about the fraudu-lent report cards that teachers are being forced to “okay.” I feel it is time to ask the SD 33 “leaders” to end their silence. (Teachers call report card plan ‘unethical’, Progress, June 25.) To the Chilliwack school dis-trict trustees, superintendent, and administrators I ask;
When the Supreme Court justice found, for the second time, that the BC Liberal gov-ernment was violating our teachers rights you said noth-ing. You did nothing. When the government told teachers they were locked out at lunch, for 45 minutes before school and for 45 minutes after school you did nothing. You said nothing. When the same government used this “partial” lockout as a way to dock teachers’ pay by 10 per cent, you did noth-ing. You said nothing. During this assault on teachers’ rights and education as a whole, the administrators have kept quiet and did not see their pay cut by 10 per cent. When the govern-ment then told teachers that despite the lockout, and the pay cut, they should still be doing
all the volunteer work they do for no pay, you remained silent and implemented the pay cut. Then, the kicker, when the LRB insisted high school teachers sign off on inaccurate, and in many cases likely false, grades, you did nothing. You said noth-ing. Why the silence? Need I remind you that you work for Chilliwack school district, and by extension the community, not the Liberal government?
Trustees, you are in charge of SD 33 not the provincial government. The trustees are responsible for the improve-ment of student achievement in the school district. With your silence you are complicit in the decline of specialist teachers in this district. With your silence you are saying it is okay for the government to violate teachers’ constitutional rights. With your silence you are saying it is not a problem to take away teach-ers’ pay and demand they do the same amount of work. With your silence you are all contra-dicting what each and every one of you said during election time - that you would stand up and speak up for public educa-tion. I am not suggesting you
have to agree with the teach-ers’ bargaining position. I am stating that you have been far too silent for far too long on the government cuts, the denigra-tion of teachers as a profession, the violation of rights, the gov-ernment ads that misrepresent the teachers’ position. You are supposed to be the local voice of education in this community. Yet you are silent. If you agree with the government, say so. If you disagree, say so. If it is somewhere in between and you have a different take on the current crisis, say so. It is not just this past few weeks but the months and months that this has dragged on. In your silence you have abdicated any leader-ship role you claim to have. You have abdicated your roles as the community’s voice in pub-lic education. You have simply stood by, mute, silent, during the largest education crisis in British Columbia in this cen-tury. I am assuming none of you will be seeking re-election as all you could promise us is your silence in the face of adversity.

I laughed when I saw the LRB ruling about Grade 10 and 11 marks last Friday, because I thought it would be a logistical nightmare that couldn’t happen. Imagine my incredu-lity today when I find out it is happening. Parents and everyone concerned with educa-tion today should be informed about the pro-cess that has been put in place.
Currently marks are being generated for all Gr. 10 and 11 students by district administration. Teachers have been advised that the mark generated will be based on the last report mark in the BCESIS marking system. Teachers will then have 48 hours to
visit the local Teacher’s Association office to review and modify these marks.
Keeping in mind that this mark will be on Gr. 10 and 11 students’ high school transcripts, there are a number of issues with this process:
• Many teachers do not use BCESIS for generating marks, but only to record final term and report card marks. Therefore, for many students their final mark will be the mark they received on the April report card. This may mean some stu-dents fail or have lower marks, even if they have since completed work to bring their mark up.
• When teachers review these marks,
they must do so with-out records that are in the schools. Somehow teachers are supposed to remember how well up to 120 students did in their courses over the last semester. A fab-ricated mark like this has no evidence behind it – it goes against every principle of quality stu-dent assessment.
• The School Act sets out the requirements for teachers related to curriculum and grad-ing. We are required to teach and assess all the prescribed learning out-comes (PLOs) for our courses. A mark gener-ated based on the April report is only based on about half the PLOs for a course – it negates two months of time and
effort students have put into learning, as well as breaks a legal statute.
When parents receive report cards for these students, they will need to scrutinize them care-fully, as the marks were not likely generated by their child’s teachers. I would urge parents and others to contact their school trustees and school district adminis-tration about the trav-esty this process makes of student evaluation. Contact the Ministry of Education and your MLA as well, asking why there has been so little consideration for the integrity of student evaluation in this LRB ruling and in which it is being carried out.

WellnessFour simple ways to makeover your favourite recipe
Last week one of our regu-lar clients indulged in a serv-ing of Jambalaya from Boston Pizza the night before. She loves Jambalaya- she loves the textures, the spices, and the combination of flavours. I fully agree that food is meant to be enjoyed- but if you are also try-ing to improve your health, the less often you eat out, the better. According to the online nutri-tion information, a full order of Jambalaya at Boston Pizza has 1350 calories, almost the same number of calories someone needs in an entire day.
Fortunately, with a few savvy substitutions, and a search for healthier recipes, you can make
your favourite dishes at home, for a fraction of the calories (and cost!). Enjoy the foods you love and still feel good when your meal is done. Here are four ways to give your favourite dish a healthy makeover without
sacrificing taste.Recipe Makeover #1: Add
more veggies. Veggies are rich in flavor, fibre, and nutrients, yet low in calories. By pumping up the meal with veggies, you will increase the nutritional profile of
a meal while cutting back on the total number of calories. Try pureeing veggies and adding them to sauces. You can also swap starches for vegetables. Try enjoying your pasta sauce over a bed of roasted spaghetti squash, or your stir-fry over ‘riced’ cauliflower. Cauliflower can also make a great substitute for mashed potatoes.
Recipe Makeover #2: Swap some of the ingredients for healthier options. For example, swap white pasta for whole grain noodles, white rice for brown rice. When cooking with meat, choose leaner cuts of meat.
Recipe Makeover #3: Cut back on calorie-dense ingredients. Go
light on the higher calorie ingre-dients such as oil, cream, butter, cheese, and fatty condiments like mayo. Trust me, you and your waistline won’t miss the extra fat. Also go light on the salt; we generally get more than enough sodium in our diet.
Recipe Makeover #4: Go big on flavour. Instead of sugary sauces and condiments, use herbs and spices to enhance the flavor your dishes.
Before making your favourite dish, look for ways to make the recipe a little bit healthier. By making a few simple changes you can transform almost any recipe into a dish that nourishes your body and your soul.

Community■ BRING BACK OUR GIRLS
Former NDP MLA Gwen O’Mahony takes pho-tos of people holding up signs with the hashtag #BringBackOurGirls show-ing concern and support for the abducted Nigerian school girls during a gather-ing at Central Community Park on Saturday after-noon. Representatives from Soroptimist International of Chilliwack and Ann Davis Transition Society hosted the Bring Back Our Girls event. In a press release, they wrote “(the girls’) situation is emblematic of the kind of interference that prevents too many girls and women from getting an education all over the world.”

Local gardeners invited to recycling their plastics July 1
Minter Country Garden is demonstrating its com-mitment to environmental stewardship along with other Canadian Nursery Landscape Association (CNLA) members across the country who have eagerly pledged their sup-port to the National Plastics Recycling Event.
Gardeners are encouraged to bring their clean, dry gar-den plastics to the store’s parking area until July 1, and stack them in the designat-
ed recycling area. To help make the National Plastics Recycling Event a success, residents are asked to dispose of non-recyclables and other trash through normal means, and refrain from leaving items outside the store after busi-ness hours.
For more information, visit Minter Country Garden at 10015 Young Rd. in Chilliwack, or go online to www.cnla-acpp.com and click on “National Plastics Recycling Event.”

African children sing for freedom
Katie BartelThe Progress
Their charming smiles, talented voices, and bright eyes show only one piece of their story.
Next month, a group of African children will be performing at Chilliwack Alliance Church as part of the African Children’s Choir.
The colourful concert prom-ises to boast a range of children’s songs, as well as traditional, spiri-tual and contemporary African music, an assortment of ethnic instrumentation, cultural dancing, hand clapping, and more.
Their spirit is no doubt astonish-ing.
“When you see these children perform, when you see their smiles, their energy, their enthusi-asm and their thirst for life, you’re kind of amazed at just how much hope they have,” said tour leader Nate Longstaff.
All from war-torn Uganda, these children, ranging in age from nine to 11 years old, have experienced more devastation in their young lives than most in the Western World could fathom. They’ve lost parents, had to leave their homes, have lived in squalor and fear, have been denied education.
“The background of where they come from is very, very difficult,” said Longstaff. And yet, “they are beacons of hope.”
The African Children’s Choir was established in 1984, when humanitarian Ray Barnett, of White Rock, saw first hand the dev-astation and sorrows of Africa on a missions trip. He also witnessed the beauty and hope sung from the mouths of the native children.
It was those voices that pushed him towards making a change.
Barnett could have developed a program, like many others, that showed the poverty, starvation, injustice, disease and violence dis-played every day in African coun-tries, but he felt the world was becoming fatigued by the depress-
ing images. Instead, Barnett created the
Children’s Choir with the purpose of making a meaningful difference one child at a time.
Working with parent organiza-tion, Music for Life, the African Children’s Choir raises funds for schools and universities. It pro-vides free education for every child in the choir, as well as others savaged by war and poverty. It also takes literacy and music education programs to villages where there aren’t any schools, and provides HIV/Aids education as well.
Operating now for 30 years, it works in seven African countries and has helped over 200,000 peo-
ple. Several of the choir children over the years, who started in the slums, have become pillars in their communities – doctors, law-yers, journalists, teachers, engi-neers – all because of the African Children’s Choir.
The choirs have performed before presidents, heads of state, and most recently the Queen of England. They’ve also sung alongside Paul McCartney, Annie Lennox, Keith Urban, and Mariah Carey.
This tour is the 41st choir.“These children are ambassa-
dors for their brothers and sisters,” said Longstaff.
“It is tremendous to be able to
be a part of the growth of these children. When they first came on tour, they were very shy, very ten-tative, unsure of the experiences, wary of adults because of the treat-ments they’ve had.”
And now, “They are growing physically, spiritually, they’re developing their characters and are really coming out of their shell. They’re flourishing.
“It’s incredible, it really is.”And their performances,
Longstaff said, will capture even the toughest of hearts.
“I have seen every shape, size, colour, loud, quiet, I have met them all while on tour, and everyone comes away with a very
similar response,” said Longstaff. “It inspires hope. You come away from a performance like this with a different perspective on life – that is one of the tremendous things about the touring choir.”
The African Children’s Choir is performing at Chilliwack Alliance Church on Sunday, July 13 at 6:30 p.m. The concert is free admission.
A free-will offering will be taken at the performance to sup-port African Children’s Choir pro-grams, such as education, care, relief and development programs.

CommunityDoug Hamilton honored for leadership in founding of Fraser Valley College
Few people alive today have as long an association with Fraser Valley College as Doug Hamilton.
Hamilton, a retired agrologist who turns 90 on July 3, was the first chair of the Fraser Valley College board, or coun-cil as it was called then, in 1974. But even before that, he played an inte-gral role in the creation of a college in the Valley.
For his dedication to education and leadership in the early days of Fraser Valley College, Hamilton received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of the Fraser Valley at its recent Convocation cer-emony.
As UFV celebrates its 40th anniversary and sends more than 2,100 new graduates out in the world this year, it can be difficult to imagine a time when the Fraser Valley didn’t have a public uni-versity, or even a college.
But until April 1974, that was the case. People who wanted to get a post-secondary education had to move away.
Groups of concerned citizens worked togeth-er on several occasions throughout the 1960s and ’70s to lobby for a college, but early efforts were unsuccessful.
In the 1970s, Hamilton worked for the BC Ministry of Agriculture and was also a member of the Abbotsford school board.
In 1973, he was elect-ed chair of the steering committee that worked as part of the provincial government-appointed task force looking at the feasibility of establishing a college in the Fraser Valley. Representatives of all the local school dis-tricts also took part in the steering committee.
“We held meetings all over the Fraser Valley, explaining the concept of a community college and looking for community support,” Doug recalls. “I also travelled to Ottawa to see the MP to sell him on the concept. We vis-ited colleges in Prince George and Nanaimo and BCIT to look at the different models of edu-cation out there.
“Many of us strongly believed that local kids shouldn’t have to leave home for their first or second year of univer-sity, and that they should have the opportunity to ease into post-secondary slowly while living at home.”
In his professional life Hamilton’s job as an agri-culture extension special-
ist came with a mandate of providing guidance, continuing education, and advice to farmers in the egg industry. Thus he served as an educator within the field of agricul-ture in our communities even before there was a Fraser Valley College or any formal agricultural education programs.
“Given my profession-al background in agri-culture and the Valley’s strong agricultural sec-tor, I also believed that whatever type of college we created needed a strong agricultural com-ponent.”
The task force recom-mended the establish-ment of a college in the Fraser Valley. In fact in its summary report in 1973, members noted that they considered that the case was so strong that their task was not to justify the provision of the service, but rather to suggest the appropriate means to provide it.
When government permission was granted to hold a plebiscite to gauge the support of local taxpayers, the task force went into high gear with a publicity campaign to convince the public to come out and vote in favour of a college. In the end, 89 percent of voters supported a college.
Once the provin-cial government made the proclamation that created Fraser Valley College on April 4, 1974, five senior employ-ees of local school dis-tricts (Eric Woodroff, Betty Urquhart, Frank Dolman, Roy Craven, and Bill Sharp) were seconded to work on planning the college at a frenzied pace, as it was to open five months later in September.
The first college coun-cil (later called board of governors) was appoint-ed on April 23, 1974 with Hamilton as the chair. He
also led the search for a college principal.
“After careful consid-eration, we decided that Dr. Larry Blake was the person we needed to lead the new college, as he had considerable experience in starting up colleges in the United States,” Hamilton recalls.
Hamilton and the rest of the board were also involved in hiring the first deans, and thus had a significant influence on establishing the early culture at Fraser Valley College. He served as board chair until 1979.
Dick Bate, one of the founding deans of Fraser Valley College, was happy to support Hamilton’s nomination for an honorary degree.
“I first met Doug Hamilton in January 1975 when I became Dean of Instruction at Fraser Valley College. Our ini-tial meeting included the newly established board and the initial senior administration. The excitement and optimism in that group was con-tagious as we discussed the challenges faced by the Board. Building an institution from the ground up was a daunt-ing task but I had the good fortune to observe Doug’s leadership as board chair and knew we were in good hands. We all learned a great deal from him and I believe it was he who set the cor-rect tone so necessary for the effectiveness of the board then and for future boards.
“Doug was a passion-ate supporter of FVC. His commitment to build a future on a strong foun-dation, and his positive approach with people was in my view a vital and critical contribution to the ongoing success of FVC, UCFV and UFV,” Bate added. “Doug is very much a product of the Fraser Valley. He
took great pride in his professional work for the Ministry of Agriculture as poultry specialist and humorously described himself as the ‘Valley Chicken Man’. He strongly believed that local people, both recent high school graduates and returning adults, should have an opportu-nity to acquire a post-sec-ondary education in the Fraser Valley. In many ways he was ahead of his time.”
Almost 40 years later, Hamilton is amazed at the growth that has occurred at the little instant col-lege in the Fraser Valley that he helped to found. Some of his children and grandchildren have been students, and his grand-daughter Samantha Hamilton will receive her Bachelor of Science degree at the same cer-emony at which he is being honoured.
“I am so very hon-oured by this recogni-tion, and very proud to have played a role in ensuring that Fraser Valley youth were able to obtain an education close to home,” says Hamilton.
In addition to a lengthy career in the agricultural sector and his volunteer time with the Fraser Valley College Council and Abbotsford school board, Hamilton was a leader of Trinity Memorial United Church in Abbotsford, and a member of the Abbotsford Lions Club.
He is also a veteran of the Second World War, having served in the Canadian Navy from 1941–45. He has family roots in the Fraser Valley dating back to the 1920s, and recalls with fond-ness visiting his uncle’s farmhouse in Rosedale (which is still standing today) as a boy in the 1930s.
Doug Hamilton received an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the University of the Fraser Valley.

Struggling with the challenges of providing care to someone with dementia from a distance?
Chilliwack family caregivers can get help from a free tele-workshop offered by the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. Called Long Distance Caregiving, the Tuesday, July 15 tele-workshop offers strategies to better cope with the situation, including assessing needs, identifying resources, maximizing visits and sharing responsibilities with others.
More than 70,000 people in the province - many of them in the local area -- live with dementia, and that number is increasing dramatically as the popu-lation ages.
The tele-workshop starts at 7 p.m.Connecting to the sessions is as easy as phoning
toll-free 1-866-994-7745, then entering pass code 1122333 when prompted, or visiting momentum.adobeconnect.com/alzheimerbc and entering as a Guest to listen to and view the presentation online at the same time.
Tele-workshops are learning sessions designed for family caregivers, but are also open to health-care providers. Recognizing that many caregiv-ers are unable to attend in-person workshops, the sessions can be accessed by telephone and online (optional). Participants can ask questions and share with others who are in similar situations.
For more information about other upcoming tele-workshops or to view shortened recordings of past sessions go to www.alzheimerbc.org/We-Can-Help/Telephone-Workshops.aspx.
For more information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, which affect one in 11 Canadians over the age of 65, visit the Society website at www.alzheimerbc.org.

Safety Tip:As the summer BBQ season and Canada Day celebrations kick off, it’s important to remember how deadly of a combination drinking and driving can be. Arrange for
a designated driver or use other options to get home safely.
Question of the WeekBob McHugh in his review of the Lincoln MKC reveals there is a new technology called “park out assist” which gets your vehicle out of the tight parking sport that the “park assist” shoehorned you into! Is this kind of technology in danger of diminishing a driver’s control skills?

Lincoln luxury at a non-premium priceSanta Barbara, Calif. - The MKC is the first (luxury) compact utility vehicle from Lin-coln and, while related, it’s very different from the Ford Escape. Development of both vehicles started with Ford’s global “C” platform, but other than its base 2.0 litre turbo-engine, the MKC has little else in common with its Ford counterpart. All-wheel-drive is standard (in Canada) on all three editions of the MKC and a start price just under $40,000 is also inviting compared to other luxury CUVs such as the Acura RDX ($41,390) and BMW X3 ($42,800). (A top-line Ford Escape, by the way, is listed at $35,699). The MKC is the second of four all-new product launches intended to redefine Lincoln. The first being the Lincoln MKZ last year, an all-new MKX is expected next year and a, so-far unnamed, full-sized sedan will follow. The new Lincoln styling theme includes smooth clean lines a slick shape (described as “graceful ath-leticism”) and up front, there’s a contemporary take on the traditional Lincoln split-wing grille.Another eye-catching feature of the MKC is around back, a huge wraparound lift gate includes full-width LED rear lighting assemblies. This unique one-piece hydro-formed steel door opens like a clamshell and allows complete access to the cargo area. An optional hands-free feature also allows it to open with a kick-ing motion below the rear bumper. The MKC also has a roomy feel to its interior, particu-larly for front seat occupants. A dash that slants away, towards the windshield, adds to its airy ambiance. It’s also a much quieter cabin than its stable mate, with numerous built-in sound deadening features that in-clude a noise control system that eliminates unwanted sound waves and enhances others. Available inside accent trims include brushed alumi-num or open-pore Zebrano and Santos Rosewood that
can be matched with standard, made in Scotland, Bridge of Weir “Deepsoft” leather upholstery. The premium car ex-perience actually starts as you approach the MKC with an accent welcoming lighting feature that’s automatically ac-tivated (by the key fob) when an owner is within 2.4 metres (8-ft). Our 320-kilometre-plus route took us away from the coast along the scenic Jacento Reyes Byway. This lightly trav-elled twisty two-lane road gets narrow in sections. It also presented some spectacular vistas along the way and some intimidating cliff faces and rock formations.I was impressed with the MKC’s predict-able handling characteristics through the twisty sections. It was stable, very forgiving at higher speeds and generally more agile than expected for a utility
vehicle - especially after I finally figured out how to set-up the driving modes, called Lincoln Drive Control. The normal, comfort and sport settings for the sus-pension and steering are preset (via vehicle settings on the instrument panel and customizable to a limited extent) by a driver to function with “D” and “S” transmission selections. It’s a different and somewhat complex way of providing this feature. Push-button transmission selection is another feature that I wouldn’t get excited about. I get the space-sav-ing functionality and the historic connection to Lin-coln, but still prefer a shift lever. Manual operation of the transmission’s six speeds can be done via paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The shifts, however, could be crisper and the system tends to be very pro-tective of the engine (over-revving) on downshifts. Only MKC vehicles with the new 2.3-litre twin-scroll turbo engine were available to drive at this U.S. event, which would price tag them close to $50,000 in Can-ada. An impressively smooth and quiet performer (in this application) this engine can produce 285-horse-
power compared to the base 2.0-litre’s 240-horsepow-er, which is the top engine in an Escape. As you might expect, the 2.0L engine gets better fuel economy, but the difference is minimal and both can run on regular grade fuel. All the latest driver-assist technologies are avail-able with MKC including, adaptive cruise control, a collision warning system, blind-sport alert, cross-traffic alert and park assist, with a unique new wrinkle... park-out assist. This added feature can now auton-omously steer that MKC out of that tight parallel parking spot into which it put the MKC! Lincoln may be a little late in joining the booming compact luxury utility club, but the MKC is certainly an impressively well put-together new member and it’s priced to sell.

Stowe, Vermont – Despite the relatively early call time, a group of almost 100 Mazda Miata/MX-5 drivers/passen-gers gathers for the morning’s meeting.The weather is looking
favourable even though the a.m. envelops the crowd with its chilliness. It’s not raining though. That’s a good sign.Tour organizer and former Trillium Miata Club president, Gary Svoboda, talks about
the day’s journey, addresses some basic housekeeping rules, makes some jokes and engages in witty banter with a group of excited Miata enthusiasts.Everyone is ready to hit the
roads of Vermont in their tiny, drop top, two-doors. Everything from fi rst genera-tions Miatas, to the latest and greatest rear-wheel drive roadsters line the gravel park-ing lot of our home base, also
known as the Stowehof Inn.Stowe, VT’s claim to fame is as a ski destination. Currently, its claim to fame is the 46 Mazdas that drove in from Ontario and are congregating for their annual tour.
Each May long weekend, a group of club members look forward to the event. It’s been going for over 20 years and hasn’t disappointed. The crowd gets rowdier by the minute so go-time is just
around the corner.The meeting wraps up; we branch into our respec-tive groups and fi re up the engines. As honorary members for the event, my co-pilot – aka my mother Zsuzsanna Straub– and I get behind the wheel of our MX-5. Within moments, we’re topless. The car. Not us!Seven vehicles comprise a group, including a leader and a sweeper. We’re comfortably nestled in the bosom of the pack. Our job is to enjoy ourselves, as well as give the MX-5 a little bit of room to romp free.It’s hard not to smile on the undulating roads of Vermont, which are lined with trees, houses, fi elds and topped off with a bovine scent!Then there is what is called “The Notch.” A mountain road where emaciated limbs of indigenous trees look like they’re reaching out and try-ing to touch the cars. Boulders are scattered and the path is paved around it. The intermit-tent obstacles would likely be the outcome of two Greek gods having a rock fi ght. You would have to have superhu-man strength to move them.The sinuous and slender road is a hoot to drive through especially with no one in front of you. The occasional crackling on the CB radios frequently is overpowered by instructions from the leader. Like a mother duck summon-ing her young, we followed in order. We stuck together and took in some breathtak-ing scenery of New England. Scenery aside, what was the most interesting to breathe in was the enthusiasm and energy of the Miata owners.Liz Burns has “Miatatude” stickered across her windshield. Miata earrings dangle from her ears as she professes her love of her emerald beauty.Another owner decided to turn his conventional doors into ones that open up not out.At breakfast, lunch and din-ner, they regale each other

The 2014 Honda Odyssey is ready to take you on your next big messy adventure with the kids and it can help you clean up too. The van features the world’s fi rst in-car vacuum system called the HondaVac. It comes complete with a replaceable fi lter, canister bag, nozzle accessories, and a hose capable of reaching the front seats. I feel a family email coming on. My sister-in-law Cristina has an Odyssey van and has been transporting a full size shop vac and leaf blower around for years. My two nieces make quite a mess, unlike my tidy offspring. Just kidding.But before we get into an interior clean-up, let’s cast an eye over the vehicle’s exterior looks. It has a stylish hood that sweeps down towards the grille. The headlights are angled up and back giving the profi le a sculpted look. Honda refers to the overall design as a lightning bolt. Not only does it provide an exclusive appearance, but also adds increased visibility for third row passengers.Very nice interior, everything laid out nicely. So many bells and whistles you almost would want to run through a checklist before driving. Eight-passenger seating with a total passenger volume of 4,887 litres, whatever, that means. And all those passengers get thirsty so Honda put in 15 cup holders. The third row is a one-motion 60/40 split ‘Magic’ seat that can accommodate three passengers and still leave 1,087 litres of cargo volume – that’s room for a lot of slushies for later in the journey. The second row is a 3 mode seating with fold down center console. Driver and front passenger seats are captain’s chairs that are very comfortable. My tester included a leather wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, channel selector, cruise control, and hands-free telephone button. The instrument panel is easier to read, thanks to a little tweaks by the engineers. Satellite-linked Navigation screen with trilingual voice recognition, 3D map and FM traffi c is
also available that uses GPS technology and a 60GB hard drive based operating system that provides the driver with turn-by-turn voice guidance to their chosen destination. The screen also is used for
the back-up camera that offers three different views, normal view, wide angle, and top down. Both side sliding doors open automatically via the key fob or a switch on the dash. A
270-watt AM/FM/CD audio system with MP3/Windows Media audio playback and seven speakers including a subwoofer is standard, with a 650-watt and 12-speaker version also available.
The i-MID or intelligent Multi information Display has the ability to display your incom-ing text messages while in park and read them out too you while driving. I had one driving home late one night
and it said “your dinner is in the garbage, have a nice day” must have been a glitch. The available rear en-tertainment system features a huge 16.2-inch screen that includes two wireless head-

The public is invited to join the Chilliwack firefighters this Canada Day, Tuesday, July 1 at 8 a.m. for a pancake breakfast served up with all the fixings at Fire Hall No. 1, 45950 Cheam Avenue. A $5 donation will not only get each person a deli-cious breakfast of pan-cakes, sausages and eggs, it also includes a fire hall and truck tour.
Funds raised from this event will go toward the Chilliwack Fire Fighters’ $75,000 pledge to the new Burn Fund Centre to be built by the BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund at in Vancouver. A 10 a.m. cheque presen-tation by the Chilliwack Fire Fighters will fea-
ture their first install-ment of $30,000 toward their $75,000 donation goal.
To date, Chilliwack firefighters have been joined by 26 other pro-fessional firefighter locals throughout the province for total fire-fighter contributions totaling just over $1.3 million.
“We’ve seen firsthand that helping with accom-modation for burn and trauma survivors and their families can be one of the most signifi-cant contributions to
help survivors physi-cally and emotionally recover and live a full life,” says Mike Hurley, president of the Burn Fund. “We’re so grate-ful that the firefight-ers in Chilliwack have shown such leadership in helping us meet this critical need.”
The province is experiencing a criti-cal shortfall in accom-modation for burn and trauma patients and their family caregivers, organizers say. Patients’ health may be compro-mised when they have
to return home sooner than medically advised or live in accommo-dations not suited to recovery from a burn or trauma. Each year almost 700 children and adults from across the province are admitted to the BCPFF Burn, Plastic and Trauma Unit at Vancouver General Hospital and BC Children’s Hospital suf-fering serious trauma. Cases from outside the Lower Mainland make up 27 per cent of cases, and 60 per cent of those are paying for private
sector accommodation for an average of eight weeks.
The new $13.1 mil-lion Burn Fund Centre will provide eight short-term stay units to meet the critical shortfall in appropriate accom-modation for burn and trauma patients and their family caregivers. The Centre will also house the offices of the BC Professional Fire Fighters Association and Burn Fund and include ground floor retail space to help fund the ongoing operation
of the building. The Burn Fund has secured 85% of necessary fund-ing and is currently in the midst of a capital campaign.
“Nobody plans to be a burn survivor,” points out Lisa Lacamell, exec-utive director of the Burn Fund, “but when it happens, your family’s life is turned inside out in a matter of seconds. With our contributions to research, patient care, survivor support and prevention we’re trying to give British Columbians their best
chance, the Burn Fund Centre is the missing piece of that legacy.”
The BC Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund has been provid-ing prevention and sur-vivor support programs, and funding medi-cal care, training and research to the people of British Columbia and the Yukon for almost four decades. The Burn Fund’s vision is built by more than 3,800 profes-sional fire fighters from fifty-three communities in British Columbia and the Yukon.

The Chilliwack Chiefs will open the 2014-15 BCHL season against the Powell River Kings.
The schedule for the league’s Bauer BCHL
Showcase was released Wednesday.
Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre is the host venue for a third straight year, with 16 teams playing 16 games over three days.
Day one has Vernon versus Cowichan Valley, Salmon Arm versus Langley, Coquitlam versus West Kelowna and Penticton versus Surrey.
The new look Chiefs get at it Sept. 20 at 7
p.m., taking on the Kings on Prospera’s main rink. Their second Showcase game is the next night, at 7 p.m. ver-sus Merritt.
Results from Showcase games count in the regular season standings.
The first two Showcases drew strong attendance from both National Hockey League and NCAA scouts.
“The Showcase has
proven to be a popular event for both people looking for talent and also our teams and players,” said BCHL communications direc-tor Brent Mutis. “The chance for scouts to see all players under one roof in one weekend is extremely valuable and the City of Chilliwack has been an ideal host for this event each of the last two years.”

Shifting your focus
In today’s column, Chilliwack Golf Academy instructor Jennifer Greggain talks about the impor-tance of proper club selection.
Over the last few years, there has been a lot of research done on ‘peak performance’ and the ideal mental state when performing a skill in all sports. This research has stated that players, when play-ing their best, are focusing exter-nally rather than internally.
This means that to achieve peak performance on the golf course, players should shift their focus to things such as their tar-get and intended shot shape, and away from technical thoughts such as their swing plane and body movements.
To describe this focus shift to students, I explain that when on the golf course, you need to spend more time thinking about ‘what’ you’re going to do, and less on ‘how’ you’re going to do it.
There is a time and place to focus on swing technique and making swing changes. But on the golf course is not the time to do it.
I learned this the hard way myself.
I was not on the LPGA Tour at the time, but qualified for the 2004 US Women’s Open. Immediately after the qualifier I started playing poorly. I had three weeks to pre-pare for The Open, but the more I tried, the worse I played.
So I did what most players do when they play poorly, I turned to desperation.
I spent hours on the range try-ing to find a swing that I could trust.
I tried every swing thought I had ever used but couldn’t find anything that produced good shots. Although I was excited to play in the Open, I was terrified about playing badly. It got so bad that during the practice round at the US Open site, I shanked a ball into the grand stand.
I was mortified to say the least.I will never forget what hap-
pened next. The night before the first round I decided to clear my head of everything, and focus simply on my target for every shot. I gave up trying to control my swing.
I had never truly done this before in a tournament. It was a huge risk. I already felt like my swing was out of my control as I was playing badly, but to then give up control and trust my swing?
Needless to say, it was a very difficult thing to do.
I went on to play one of the best tournaments I had every played up to that point in my career. I made my first cut in an LPGA event as a qualifier, then did the same the following week at the Canadian Women’s Open.
Then for the first time in my career I made it through Q-school to earn my first year of LPGA status.
Out of everything I have every learned about golf, that night before the US Women’s Open was one of the most clarifying moments in my career. I had experienced the shift away from focusing internally on technical thoughts, and shifted my focus externally to my target and trust-ing my swing.
Does this mean you should never work on improving your swing? Absolutely not.
But when I playing a round on the course, no matter what you are currently trying to change in your swing, put it in your back pocket for those 18 holes and trust your swing.

Former Chilliwack Bruin Ryan Howse will play hockey again this fall, a year after he walked away from the game.
The Prince George native has signed with the Stockton Thunder of the ECHL, a minor-pro circuit.
Howse, a former third round draft pick of the National Hockey League’s Calgar y Flames, last played dur-ing the 2012-13 season.
He split 40 games between the ECHL’s Utah Grizzlies and American Hockey League’s Abbotsford Heat, then didn’t show up for Calgary’s rookie fitness testing and physi-cals.
He told the team his
heart wasn’t into hockey, and the Flames released him.
Signing with Stockton gives Howse the chance to revive his career play-ing alongside a couple of old rivals. When he played for Chilliwack, Howse often clashed with Vancouver Giants Garet Hunt and James Henry.
Both are with the Thunder, and in fact Hunt captains the team.
Once upon a time, Howse was Chilliwack’s first ever bantam draft pick and enjoyed a spec-tacular Western Hockey League career.
In 262 games he sniped 140 goals. But he has only eight goals and 19 points in 79 minor pro games.
Howse hoping for career revival
In better days, Ryan Howse scored a lot of goals with the Western Hockey League’s Chilliwack Bruins. Now, he’s trying to resurrect his career in the ECHL. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

Kevin Misumi went to the University of British Columbia for his first year of science stud-ies — and came back with an idea for a charity fundraiser. He’s hoping it will be the first of many ALS charity ball hockey tournaments in Hope.
“At UBC, one of the students organized a ball hockey tour-nament for a different cause,” Misumi said. “I thought I could do the same in Hope.”
Misumi is working on pipe-line maintenance this summer but has used his spare time to bring together eight teams for the event, which will run throughout the day on Saturday, at the Memorial Park sport court.
He also has pulled togeth-er an impressive number of local sponsors who have given cash, such as Nestlé Waters, McDonalds and Panago, or sup-plied prizes for raffles, such as Kimchi restaurant and Valley Helicopters.
“The community has really been good,” said the Hope sec-ondary 2013 grad.
“Buy & Save is donating hot
dogs and condiments for the event and the rec centre is let-ting us use the hockey nets, tables and hopefully the (porta-ble) scoreboard,” said Misumi. “And Envision is lending us their tent for the day.”
He anticipates more dona-tions to come in from the busi-ness community to help with the barbecue and raffle draw.
Players pay a $10 entry fee for the three-game guarantee tournament that will kick off at 10 a.m. and close at around 7 p.m. with a championship match between the top teams from the A and B sides.
Throughout the day, bar-becue and beverage sales will generate further funds for the cause, with proceeds going to ALS Canada.
Amyotrophic lateral scle-rosis, often known as “Lou Gehrig’s disease,” is a debilitat-ing degenerative disease of the nervous system that slowly kills the affected person.
Misumi has known two Hope residents that succumbed to ALS.
“I decided to organize this event specifically for Janice Carrat and Ronald Young,” he said. “Janice was one of my mom’s good friends, so I saw
her quite a bit, growing up. She was always there to point me in the right direction and give me a reality check when I needed one.”
Carrat passed away in 2009 at the age of 53.
Her sister Shari is donating the banner for the event, which will be attached to the court fencing.
“Ron was the middle brother of Randy, Darren, Tim and Dave Young,” said Misumi. “When I started working at Canyon Shell in 2012, he’d always stop in and he’d come and see my hockey games. Although I had only known him a few short years, he proved to me how much better a good laugh could make you feel.”
“The disease progressed really quickly for him,” added Misumi.
Young died in August of 2013. Like Carrat, he was only 53 years old.
Young’s brother Randy is sup-plying all of the team T-shirts for the tournament, which will be officiated by Blake Deschenes of Hope and Austin MacGregor of Chilliwack.
The public is welcome to come and add their community spirit to the event.

Popular former Chilliwack Bruin Cody Smuk was diagnosed with cancer in mid-May and is now undergoing chemotherapy treatments in his home province of Saskatchewan. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE
Former Chilliwack Bruin Cody Smuk is facing a battle tougher than any he ever had on the ice.
Smuk was diagnosed with testicular cancer in mid-May and since then a tumour has been found in his lung.
He started chemo-therapy treatments June 16.
To help offset the cost of treatment, which includes not being able
to work over the sum-mer, a fund-raising page has been set up at www.gofundme.com/codys-muk
Smuk was a gritty bottom-six type for the Bruins who played 132 regular season games for the franchise.
Fans will best remem-ber the Saskatoon native for a one-punch demolition of Kyle Beach during a game between Smuk’s Bruins
and Beach’s Everett Silvertips.
Smuk went on to play for the Lethbridge Hurricanes and Moose Jaw Hurricanes, then spent four years with the University of Saskatchewan Huskies.

Two BC Football Conference stars have found their way onto the practice roster of the BC Lions.
Steven Doege, a defensive end who earned his stripes with the Okanagan Sun, is joined by Vancouver Island Raiders wideout Whitman Tomusiak. Both are part of the 10 player practice squad.
The main roster for the Lions includes three BCFC grads. Once upon a time, vet-
eran placekicker Paul McCallum booted balls for the Surrey Rams.
Running back Andrew Harris terror-ized defences when he played for the Raiders, and long-snapper/linebacker Jordan Matechuk is a Victoria Rebels alum.
The Lions have also listed Langley Rams
of fensive lineman Anthony Daley as a ter-ritorial exemption.
Other BCFC grads around the league include Rob Cote (run-ning back, Calgary), Andrew Smith (slot-back, Montreal) and Robin Maderious (wide-out, Ottawa).

Chilliwack’s Brad Clapp struggled in his third PGA Tour Canada tournament, missing the cut at the Syncrude Boreal Open.
The tourney was held last weekend in Fort McMurray, AB.
Clapp had an up-and-down opening round
that included birdies on the fifth, eighth, 10th and 16th holes.
But he bogied the second, sixth and ninth holes and had a disas-trous 15th, carding a six on the par three hole.
Clapp finished round one with a two-over-par 74 and his struggles
worsened on day two. Clapp bogied five of
the first nine holes, end-ing the day with a five-over-par 77.
His two day total of 151 was well off the cut-line of 143, leaving him on the outside for rounds three and four.
American Joel
Dahmen won the tour-nament and the $27,000 first place prize.
The next tour stop is the SIGA Dakota Dunes Open, running July 3-6 at the Dakota Dunes Golf Links in Saskatoon.

Ralph Darby Keen passed away June 18, 2014 in Chilliwack, BC after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease. Ralph will be dearly missed by Mary Keen, his wife of 61 years, daughters – Sukoshi Fahey, Sherri Bellah, and Brenda Keen and husband Ryan Anderson, along with grandson Jeremy Fahey and wife Melissa, granddaughters Tamara and Tania Straiton, and great grandchildren Jordan and Justine Fahey, Kado Straiton and Ralph’s sister, Sharon Keen. His brother, Raymond Keen, passed away several years before.
November 10, 1931, Catherine and Dennis Keen welcomed their fi rst son, Ralph Darby, into the world. Ralph grew up in Jasper and graduated from Jasper High with honors. He attended Royal Military College where he forged many lifelong friends. Mary Driver caught his eye and as soon as he graduated, they were married in the little white church in the Rockies.
Ralph joined the Royal Canadian Engineers in 1953 and was posted to Korea for a year. In 1955 Ralph graduated with a Civil engineering degree from UBC. The next 25 years of military career took Ralph and family on a series of postings across Canada, Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. During his Kenyan assignment Ralph climbed to the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
Retiring from the military in 1980 the family moved to various locations in BC and settled in Chilliwack where Ralph worked for the District of Chilliwack until retirement in 1996. Over the years Ralph indulged in favourite pastimes – fl y fi shing, squash, karate, and serving the communities in many volunteer roles. His love of a good joke and his dry sense of humour made him beloved by family and friends.
Ralph lived his life with truth, duty, and valour. A celebration of his life will be held later in July. If you would like to make a memorial donation the link is: http://www.parkinson.ca/site/c.kgLNIWODKpF/b.5184129/k.2CBF/Donate_Now.htm
Yes, I am old; - and death hath ta’en Full many a friend, to memory dear;Yet, when I die, ‘twill soothe the pain
Of quitting my survivors here,To think how all will be delighted,When in the skies again united!

7 OBITUARIES
FrailElizabeth, May
(Betty) 1923-2014
Elizabeth Frail (nee Spry) passed away peacefully at Heritage Village, June 3, 2014 at the age of 91. She was born in Three Rivers, Quebec to English immigrant parents but grew up in Montreal. She there met a young soldier, John Frail, whom she married in 1947. An Armed Forces fami-ly, they lived in Montreal, Nova Scotia, and Ottawa. After re-tirement they sold real estate for ten years in Ottawa. For the following decade they spent winters in Florida. While in Ontario and the Maritimes they built family cottages where they spent time canoe-ing and enjoying the quiet of nature. They moved to Chilli-wack from Ottawa ten years ago. Both Betty and John were ac-tive in church activities, as well as biking, skating, and walk-ing. Both were avid readers. Betty and John were married 66 years when John passed away in 2013, also at age 91. They had raised 4 children - Ken (Janice), Diane (Ken), Gary (Danielle) and James (Elizabeth), 8 grandchildren and 6 great- grandchildren. They were often referred to as a couple ‘Betty and John’. It was decided most appropriate to have a joint memorial ser-vice and burial in Centreville, Nova Scotia in the beautiful Annapolis valley that they so loved. The date for this service is to be decided. The family wishes to extend their thanks for the thoughtful care she re-ceived from the staff of the Rosedale neighbourhood of Heritage.
