    Residents of Fraser Valley Regional Dis-tricts Area E want to see natural areasprotected and little change in theircommunities, according to a survey mailedto residents.The survey will be used to provide guid-

    ance to FVRD staff and officials as they craftan updated version of Area Es Official Com-munity Plan (OCP).But the surveys effectivenessmay be limit-

    ed by how few residents chose to respond toit. Of 1,364 surveysmailed, just 57ameaslyfour per centwere returned.Area E director Dave Lamson said the sur-

    vey may have gotten lost in the plethora ofjunk mail most people receive. That view islent credence by the fact that more peopleattended open houses on the OCP thanresponded to the survey.Lamson, though, was pleased with the

    responses of those people who did take thesurvey.Of those in the Cultus Lake, Lindell Beach

    and Columbia Valley area, half said theywanted to see very little change, while 34 percent said they wanted moderate change. Inthe Chilliwack RiverValley, residents wantedeven less change. Sixty-two per cent of peo-ple wanted very little change, while 27 per

    cent wanted no change at all.Thats basically saying they dont want a

    lot of development, they dont want a lot ofsubdivisions, said Lamson.In the Chilliwack River Valley, the survey

    showed that residents are extremely con-cerned about the natural environment and,particularly, fish and wildlife populations.Four-fifths of respondents said that declin-

    ing fish and wildlife populations were thetop issue in the valley. An overwhelming 94per cent said protecting fish and wildlifehabitat should be a top priority for the newOCP.I was certainly encouraged by the results,

    said Lamson. People do want us to respectthe natural habitat and values.And while the valley is a top recreational

    destination, only 32 per cent said access torecreational opportunities was an importantissue and only five per cent wanted access torecreational opportunities to guide land useplanning.In the Columbia Valley/Cultus Lake/Lin-

    dell Beach area, 63 per cent said access androads were a high priority, and 36 per centwanted pathways or commuter routes forbicycles and pedestrians.Neither community, each renowned

    for its natural beauty, said communityappearance and aesthetics were impor-tant issues.The surveys, along with feedback from

    open houses in both the Chilliwack RiverValley and the Cultus Lake/Columbia Val-ley areas, will be used to guide two advi-sory planning commissions that will meetthroughout the fall. Lamson said the FVRDhopes to wrap up the OCP process by nextspring.

    Poisonous giant hogweed hasbeen present in Chilliwackfor years, but the toxic plant isback in the spotlight as it has beenfound for the first time in easternOntario.The City of Chilliwack has had

    public works crews battling gianthogweed this season, according topublic works director GlenMacPher-son.The sap of the giant hogweed

    causes photodermatitis, whichmakes the skin sensitive to sunlightand this can lead to long-lastingswelling, purple or black blisters andscars. But even worse, just one dropof the sap in contact with the eyescan cause temporary and sometimespermanent blindness.In 2008, city staff observed the

    plant on city property and have beenbattling it ever since. MacPhersonsaid hogweed has appeared on hill-side roads in the Ryder Lake area andthe Eastern Hillsides.The current warm, dry weather

    serves to help the plant grow andonce it is established, its hard to kill.And it seems to be spreading.MacPherson said currently the

    weed control crews fight giant hog-weed in approximately 12 publiclyaccessible locations, something thattakes considerable time to preparefor given the size and toxicity of theplant.Giant hogweed has also been con-

    firmed at approximately 20 privatesites in Chilliwack.Last year the FraserValley Regional

    District, which undertakes the con-trol of the plant in Chilliwack, beganusing stem injection equipment toreduce the chemical spread into thesurrounding environment.

    Anyone who notices giant hog-weed on a roadside or on other cityproperty is asked to immediatelycall the public works department at604-793-2810. If it is found on pri-vate property do not touch it, butphone public works for advice as toits removal.

    Police are still looking for a man theysay is a dangerous sexual offender.Dale Koenders walked away from his

    day parole in Chilliwack nearly threeweeks ago and still hasnt been found.P o l i c e s a y

    Koenders is classi-fied as a dangerousoffender and has ahistory of violentsexual assaul ts.Police first reportedhim missing lastweek.RCMP spokes-

    person Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop saidwe have no clearindication at thism om e n t a s t owhere he may haveheaded.Koenders is 46

    years old, five-foot-10 and 200 pounds.He was last seen wearing jeans, whiterunners and a blue hooded sweatshirt.

    No current conversation aboutbusiness in B.C. can avoidthe new Harmonized SalesTax that came into effect less

    than three weeks ago.The topic came up at the small busi-

    ness roundtable meeting held by theministry of small business, technologyand economic development in Chilli-wack on Friday.Minister Iain Black said those in

    attendance understand their abilityto either reinvest or hire people willincrease with the HST, but the key con-cern was one of communication.They were saying we get it, but

    we still dont understand a lot of themechanics, Black said. Wed likea little help with that. And they alsocommunicated that on July 1 the suncame up, the customers came.There are certainly a lot of small busi-

    ness ownerswhose products and servic-es became taxable on July 1, and Blacksaid there is an acknowledgement ofthat but that the adjustment periodwill be a short-termphenomenon.We are not pioneers of new tax

    policy on this particular point, he

    said. There is a tremendous school ofexperience that drove the logic behindit and the most prominent element ofthat logic was job creation and theyunderstand that as well.For many critics of the HST, the tax

    itself is less the issue than the way itwas implemented after the provincialelection.Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner

    said part of what has not been com-municated well was what changedfrom the federal governments posi-tion before and after the last election.One of those changes was the ability ofprovinces to set their own rates.Now we are allowed to set our own

    rate and that is why we have the lowestHST in Canada, Penner said.The $1.6 billion in transition funding

    helped too.You might ask yourself why would

    the federal governmentbewilling topartwith $1.6 billion? he said. Becauseoverall it makes Canadamore competi-tive. It helps the Canadian economy.Les pointed also to the five per cent

    opt-out in the HST whereby provinc-es could create a list of products thatare HST exempt.We chose motor fuels, gasoline and

    home heating, Penner said.Ontario chose Tim Hortons, Les

    said, pointing to Ontarios decisionchose to give HST exemption to mealsunder $5.So their gasoline price went up eight

    per cent when they introduced theHST, Penner said.

    After this Im going togo and carry computersaround. I am an employee.Black said feedback such

    as this from one of the prov-inces 384,000 business own-ers is why the roundtablesare held.This is a classic example

    of the value of the sessionsfor us, he said. Eighty percent of businesses havefive or lessemployees.Access to

    informationf o r sma l lb u s i n e s sowners wasa n o t h e rt o p i c o fgreat con-cern. Blacksaid manyof those in attendance Fridaywerent aware of many pro-grams and services offeredbythe province. An example ofthis is BizPal, a service avail-able through the ministryswebsite that allows businessowners to get a customizedlist of permits and licencesrequired from all three levelsof government.Yet Chilliwack MLA John

    Les, who was also at themeeting, said hardly any ofthose in attendance wereaware of BizPal.

    You can lead a horse towater but you cant makehim drink, he said. I guessweve got to start leadingthem to water because theydont knowwhere the troughis.After the meeting, Lum

    said he hoped there couldbe more local recognitionof what small businesses aredoing. He gave the exampleof a larger local business,IMW Industries, and owner

    Brad Millersrecent high-profile $125-million saleto a Califor-nia firm. B r a d

    Millers feel-ing today, Iwant to givethat feelingto the per-

    son who has opened a petstore, Lum said.He also added that Canada

    Education Park could helpturn Chilliwack into not onlyan educational destinationbut an entrepreneurial oneas well.It could be a centre for

    business incubation as wellas education, he said.The Sma l l Bu s i n e s s

    Roundtables next meeting isin Kamloops on July 26. Visitwww.smallbusinessround-table.ca to find outmore.

    Chilliwacks new cultural centreis nearly complete and thosebehind the city-owned facility areon a fundraising push to pay for crucialequipment andoperating capital.From$150 tickets to the opening night

    gala to $1,000 grand piano key sponsor-ships there are many ways to donatemoney and get a company or individualname in thebuilding.But there is also getting a name on

    the building as corporate sponsorship ofthe unnamed cultural centre and variousother roomsare up for grabs.Formermayor Clint Hames is the cen-

    tres liaison for corporate sponsorshipand is currently presenting 14 namingopportunities, according to a ChilliwackArts and Cultural Centre Society pressrelease issuedMonday.Hames is not only the former mayor

    and a long-time arts supporter, but hehas been integrally involved in theChilli-wackPlayersGuild sincebeforehispolit-ical career.My first love was the arts in Chilli-

    wack, he said in the release. As somemay remember, I was the first per-former on stage at the arts centredowntown. As the retired mayor I amincredibly excited to back the centre

    and build bridges between the busi-ness community and the arts, and peo-ple do take note of businesses that stepup in a philanthropic way.The society says that donors are sure

    to gain an enormous amount of pub-lic exposure every time an event is held,classes are conducted, or gatherings takeplace at thisworld-class facility.Commitments start from$250 annual-

    ly and range from two- to 10-year terms.John Blessin, a member of the board

    of directors and chairperson for The 88Key Club, is another community mem-ber serving as a liaison for the centre,particularly because the funds raised byThe 88 Key Clubwill go towards the RonGoldfinch Piano. Blessin and Goldfinchserved together on the Chilliwack RotaryClubwhile Goldfinch was the president.Beforehepassedaway,Goldfinchworkedtowards a fundraiser for a concert grandpiano, seeking community members to

    sponsor thepurchase.He would be honoured to have his

    name on the concert grand piano forthe centre, said Rons wife Marie Gold-finch. He always believed Chilliwack tobe an extremely giving community andthoughtThe 88KeyClubwould be a per-fect fit for those looking forways to give.Each key sponsorship is $1,000 and

    to acknowledge donations, personal-ized text will be featured in permanentrecognition in the lobby. Or, for $500,donors can have a name engraved inthe maple wood arms of one of the500-plus seats in the theatre as part ofthe TakeYour Seat! fundraiser.The opening gala is Sept. 25 and tick-

    ets are $150 each and will be availablesoon through the centres box office. To participate in naming opportuni-ties, The 88 Key Club or TakeYour Seat!,please contact KellyAnne TeBrinke,marketingmanager, at 604-392-8000.

    With Chilliwack-areaforests tinder dry,fire officials are get-ting ready to implement acampfire ban before the com-ingweekend.Fire information officer

    Donna MacPherson says theMinistry of Forests will imple-ment the ban on Friday atnoon.The ban, which will affect

    provincial parks and allCrownland, is thedirect resultof several weeks of warm, dryweather that has increasedthe risk of forest fires. The firedanger for theChilliwack areaeast to Hope is rated high,according toMacPherson.MacPherson, who works at

    the Coastal Fire Centre, saidthe ban is not unusual for theChilliwack area. Your areais actually one of our drierareas, she said. Usually itsin high to extreme at this timeof year.MacPherson said the entire

    Chilliwack Forest Districtwhich extends past hope upthe Fraser Canyonhas seenseven fires already this year.She said most of the local

    activity comes fromtheHarri-son Lake area. Because of theproximity of local forests topopulation centres,MacPher-son said a quick response isvital when a fire starts in theChilliwack area.Most of our fires have a

    strongpotential for interface.While the campfire ban is

    aimed at stamping out one ofthe burning causes of forest-fires,MacPherson said peoplestill need to be careful whenthey venture into the forests,especially if theyre using off-road vehicles.ATVs and motorcycles, as

    they travel down dirt roads,throw sparks behind them,she said. Those sparks pose adanger, so MacPherson saidriders should refrain fromriding through grass, where aspark can set off a brush fire.While traditional campfires

    may be about to be outlawed,those heading camping arenttotally out of luck when itcomes to roastingmarshmal-lowsona fire.This is the first year that

    so-called propane camp-fires will be allowed duringa campfire ban. As the namesuggests, the fires run onpropane.

    dians, that StephenHarper is ourheadof state?Well,most of thetime, it seems, so does he.Now, if thiswere a truedemoc-

    racy, you and I and everybodywithcitizenshippaperswouldbe thetrue rulers. But alas, nohere youstill have to beborn to the title. Aqueenwho rarely visits is actuallythemost important person in thiscountry.Thats remarkable, consider-

    ing that dear, oldConradBlackyouknow, theCanadian formermediamogulwho is pining awayin anAmerican jail cell?not solong ago jettisonedhisCanadiancitizenshipbecausehewasbeingdeniedapseudo-royal title becauseCanadadoesnt officially recognizeroyal titlesexcept for the queen,I guess.Once, simply questioning this

    stuff, as has been recently pointedout to us,wouldhave cost us ourheadsormaybe got us shippedoff toAustralia.But these aremore enlightened

    times. In our current almost-democracy, itmaynot be legal tomake funof the old ladywho costsusmillions of tax dollars every time

    she accepts an invitation to teabut lets just say itwouldprobablybepolitically incorrect for her toorder the axe to fall.Now, shedoes cost us far less

    than thebilliondollars that theroyal pomposity of theG8 andG20summits soakedus for recently.I believe that if thereweremore

    rational discussionanda reason-able helping of irrational derision(which I feel always helps lighten aheavydebate)wedbewell onourwayoff thepathof royal obeisance.As it stands right now, thequeen

    really doesnt domuch for usoth-er than thewarm feeling of uttergratitudeher very existence occa-sionally elicits fromsomeof theBrits and ex-Britswho still thinkthey own this colony.But heres a little test. Remember

    that royaltyif allowed toprocre-ateis forever.Maybe you thinkQueenE. II is a sweetheart deserv-ing of your divinedevotion. Afterall, HerMajestys a pretty nicegirlan all that.Think forward: howdoes the

    thought ofCharlie Rex strike you?Even inMerryOldeEngland,there is serious contemplationof

    whether the royal systemcouldsurvive him.Andwhat couldwehavehere

    insteadof a queen (or king) towatchover her (his) humble, littlechildren?In reality, everything thequeen

    coulddo for us is alreadydonebyourGovernorGeneralwhosupposedly represents theQueenHerself, but is in fact chosenbythePrimeMinister in consultationwith thePrivyCouncil.Theonlyroyalty in the equation is purelysymbolic.And the currentGov-Genas

    evidencedbyher botching of theparliamentary proroguing that hasbecomeall the fashionof lateisapretty good argument for a com-plete change to the system.Howaboutwe elect our sen-

    ate? And theheadof the resultantUpperChamber is namedChan-cellor (or some-such) and takeson the symbolic role of interpret-ing the constitution for theprimeminister?Or howabout a bravenewAmer-

    ican Idol knock-off CanadianIdolatry inwhichprospectivesymbolic heads of state showusfromweek toweekhowclassy andregal they canbe, and everybodygets to phone in their choices (99cents per vote, to help fund theoffice)?Itmakesmore sense thanwhat

    weve got.BobGroeneveld is the editor of theLangleyAdvance.

    Cops dolive up totheir idealsW

    ith all the negative newsabout police over the past fewyears, its doubly good newsto hear that a B.C. police offi-

    cer has won a recent legal victory.The officer, a member of the Transit

    Authority Police, was injured stopping adrunk driver in 2008 in Chilliwack. Theunarmed, off-duty constable spottedthe weaving truck as it clipped a parkedcar. He called for on-duty officers but noone was close by, as they were at anotheremergency.The officer tried to stop the driver him-

    self. In return, he was repeatedly punched.The driver shoved the officer out of thetruck and then dragged the officer and ranover his arm.Battered, the officer still managed to

    get up and arrest the driver, whose bloodalcohol level was .250, more than threetimes the legal limit.The legal battle camewhen the officer

    tried to getWorkSafeBC to compensatehim for his injuries. The agency said theofficer was off duty and therefore it wasnot a workplace injury.The legal wrangle has recently ended

    in the officers favour. AWCB AppealsTribunal has agreed that officers, whohave sworn an oath to keep the peace,can place themselves on duty to preventa crime.The ideals of serviceof putting the

    security and safety of others above theirownis the source of the publics respectfor police officers.Police who consider themselves on duty

    at all times, whenever they are needed, arethe kind of officers we need. And a rulinglike this one goes a small way to acknowl-edging their work.

    Editor:Who is gouging us Chilliwack at

    the gas pumps in Chilliwack?Is it sponsored in some way by

    our less than forthright provincialgovernment? By our neighboursand city councillors? Or is it ourfriends and neighbours, the localpurveyors of gasoline acting incollusion to fleece the motoringpublic even more?Last week, on a trip to Prince

    Rupert, through Prince George,through what would certainly bea higher cost area, the price perlitre was steady at $1.049 untilPrince George where it increasedto $1.089 and remained at thatprice to Prince Rupert. Returningto Chilliwack I was disgusted tosee the price was $1.129 per litre.Why?We here have no transit tax.We

    have no parking tax. Transporta-tion can not be an issue. So whoin Chilliwack is gouging us?Take a close look at your friend-

    ly petroleum licensee. Are theyto blame? The people of Chilli-wack deserve better and deserveanswers.We have learned to expect this

    treatment from the Liberals butexpect better from the people thatlive among us. By the way, Costcofuel was $1.009 on Saturday andhas been at that price for sometime. I wont mention the price offuel in the U.S.I hate to be forced to leave my

    community to make essentialpurchases but I refuse to be heldto ransom by unscrupulous busi-nesses.

    Yo, butthead, bemore carefulEditor:Just a note to the young duffus

    who pulled up beside my wife andI on our bicycles in his noisy littleyellow car with the stereo blaringat the corner of Topaz and Knightaround noon on Friday and pro-ceeded to drop his fully glowingcigarette butt on the ground rightbeside my wife. I put your ciga-rette out for you.Please dont ever do that again,

    as the next time Im stomping out

    your cigarette, my foot might justslip and accidently damage yourtaillight or headlight.

    Public should benotified quicklyEditor:Again, history repeats itself

    as the RCMP announces that adangerous sex offender failed toreport back from his day parolenearly two weeks ago.Queried why the public was not

    notified at the time, the RCMPspokesperson said we wereexploring other investigativeavenues at that time and that isstandard procedure.What a loadof crap.They never learn. These delays

    of alerting the public to the pres-ence of convicted offenders withviolent pasts on the loose in theircommunities have resulted inloss of life such as the tragedy inVernon, perpetrated by Eric Fisherwhich involved a particularly vio-lent death of a senior citizen.Why would those who are

    entrusted to serve and protectthe public fail to immediatelyalert the public to enable them toexercise caution and protect theirfamilies as well as the possibilityof an apprehension on recogni-tion and reporting by a citizen?I believe the reason to be the

    avoidance of public criticismof the classification of inmatesin these halfway houses whichCorrection Services Canadainitially promised would houseonly non-violent inmates thatposed no risk to public safety.As anticipated, once established

    this policy was not adhered toand Mayor Sharon Gaetz andthe Citizen Advisory Commit-tees have been told that CSC willdetermine which inmates willbe accepted despite their con-cerns and protestssort of likea game of Russian Roulette withpublic lives at risk. They hopethat a dangerous offender whohas failed to return to the facility(escapee to be accurate withoutthe niceties) will be apprehendedwithout incident and withoutthe public becoming aware ofthe matter thereby dodging yetanother bullet (no pun intended)criticizing the failure of the CSCand RCMP to protect the public.This will continue.

    School systemgets a failing gradeEditor:Only 45 per cent prepared for

    further education or career (Van-couver Sun, July 16).Wheres the result-based accountability?Dawn Steele of the so-called

    B.C. Education Coalition hasasked, where has he [Lal Sharma]been?As a former professor ofeducation who has been thereand done that, Im compelled togive Ms. Steele a poor grade, withexplanations:First, the total funding for 2010-

    2011 is over $ 5.6 billion (with aB) not $ 5.1 billion as she reports.But then, whats upward of half abillion dollars amongst friends.Its worth stressing that the oper-ating funding for education doesinclude an increase of $112 mil-

    lion.That pushes up the total expen-

    diture per student to over $10,000yearly. At this rate, itll cost wellover $100,000 to carry each childfrom K-12.Wow, thats a lot ofmoney, demolishing the under-funding myth.Second, Ms. Steele makes no

    mention of what the taxpayeractually gets for such a hugeinvestment.With barely 70 percent students actually making itto the finish line, one has to won-der.Worse, the graduation ratein this district is just 68 per cent.Meaning, one in three students isnot graduating on time if at all.Third, still staying with Chilli-

    wack school district, this year onlyclose to half of Grade 7 studentsmet or exceeded expectationsin math. Thats sad. Further, onan in-house test of reading, theGrade 6 results were even worse.Now, to claim that this district is

    forced to spend twice as much onspecial education as it gets fromthe province, only speaks ill ofour system. Preventions whole-sale; remediation retail. By usingscience-based programs early,we can cut the need for specialplacement by half and save lots ofmoney, too.All in all, its not the funding

    shortfall but inefficiency.Whenthe cost pressures of providingeducation outstrip the fundsprovided, learn to do more withless. Manage resources prop-erly. Remember, its the wastefulschool spending burdening thesystem, stupid. Get it?

    Blaming activistswas easy way outEditor:Recently with the G20 protests

    in Toronto, many groups havegone on to attack the activistgroups who formed the basis formany of these protests.Whilethere are merits to that argument,that argument precludes the ideathat this was a huge example ofdiversive police tactics. Burningcars, riots in the streets; if theToronto police force wanted anexcuse to exercise an authoritar-

    ian presence over these protestgroups, they successfully did so.Within the time frame of this hap-pening, media across the nationtied the violence to the protestors.That being said, can we reallybelieve this?The police created laws that

    didnt exist, were brutal whenthey could be; all of this and Imto believe that the public opinionandmedia side with the policeon this one? They were exercis-ing their control, and Im led tobelieve that for those cop cars tobe light, it had to be a policeman.There was a lot of money spent

    on security at this summit, andto justify the price tag the policeimprovised.What does this sayabout our police force, or us as anation? This event has led me tobelieve that this is a step in themove towards de-democratiza-tion of our society. If a securitybudget governs how we as peopleare treated, then this nationspolice forces need to examinewho theyre here to truly protectand serve.

    Pedestrians shouldfeel safer nowEditor:A big thank you to theMayor

    Sharon Gaetz and the trafficdepartment at city hall for approv-ing and installing a pedestriancrosswalk across Knight Road toconnect the two sections of Luck-akuck andTrail Park.I am sure that many people and

    their dogs feel a lot safer trying toget across especially due to theincrease in traffic with the newoverpass.And, by the way, the speed limit

    on Knight Road is 50 km and not90 km.

    Luckily the score doesntmatter.The Chilliwack Huskers

    lost 36-0 to the Big Kahuna(South Surrey) Rams Sat-urday evening in BritishColumbia Football Confer-ence action at ExhibitionStadium.After having two touch-

    downs called back on penal-ties, the Rams finally got onthe board late in the first halfand didnt look back.

    But while his squad didntwin, Huskers coach LukeAcheson was satisfied withthe game.The goal was to not nec-

    essarily win the game butget everybody on the field,he said.I liked what our first team

    was able to do against theirfirst team. Then we startedsubbing a lot of guys . . . sothe score got away from us alittle bit.Surrey played a real good

    game. You have to take yourhat off to them.One player who stood out

    for Acheson was linebackerBlake Schaufelberger. TheMission-grad created afumble with his very first hit,a crushing blow to Surreys

    Vancouver GolfTourmoney leader BrynParry came through when it counted,beating James Harper and Philip Jonasin a playoff to win the Chilliwack Open Sun-day at Chilliwack Golf and Country Club.Kyle German finished in fourth place, with

    John Shin scoring even par to finish fifth.For the professionals, the key at CGCCwas

    to rack up birdies on the front nine whilehanging on for dear life on the back.But the 16th hole proved too much for

    some. With just three holes to play, bothJonas and German bogeyed the hole. ForJonas, the extra shot sent him to the playoff,where he lost, while the same hole causedGerman to miss the playoff. Parry, mean-while, was solid on Sunday. After bogeyingtwo of the first four holes, Parry climbed his

    way back into the picture, racking up bird-ies on two par-threesthe eighth and 12thholes.The lone Chilliwack entry amongst the

    professionals, Keith Jackson, shot a respect-able seven-over round of 78 on Saturdaybefore falling off the pace on Sunday.Chilliwack had more representation

    among the amateurs, with Mike Broadfootgoing three-over for the tournament to fin-ish tied for first in his flight.Other solid Chilliwack scores came from

    Dean Meyer and Bradley McGillivray (13-over), Ted Lancaster (14-over), John Bran-dreth (15-over).The shot of the tournament, however,

    went to Dave Bolton, who aced the ninthhole on Saturday.

    BY STEVE EWENThe Province

    WhenChilliwack-resident JasonWulderarrived on the lacrosse scene over 20years ago, some boxla folk wonderedif hewas just anoverly flashy flash in thepan.The kid from Calgary had those big, showy

    pump fakes that could freezemotorists in thevicinity, let alone opposing defenders, butWestern Lacrosse Association teams figuredthat checkerswould eventually catchon.They wondered whetherWulder, who was

    starring in junior with the RichmondOutlawsat the time, did enough elsewell to be success-ful. Throw in the fact that he was liable to goback to Alberta, too, and he ended up as just athird-roundpick in the 1992WLAentry draft.We should all get such returns onour invest-

    ments. Today,Wulder, 39, is the oldest playerin theWLA and remains a key offensive con-tributor for the CoquitlamAdanacs in this, his17th seasonwith the club.Hes been around solong, in fact, that hes currently lining up withthe son, Dane Reelie, 24, of one of his formerCoquitlam teammates,MikeReelie.Ive been incredibly lucky, said Wulder,

    who works for the City ofVancouver but livesin Chilliwack with his wife, Tracey, and theirthree kids. Ive never had amajor injury. I toresome stomach muscles, but it wasnt careerthreatening. Everything else has been a sprain.The other common denominator is that

    it doesnt matter the age of the guys in thedressing room: everybody is still just an idiotlacrosse player.Its just a different breed of guy. I love the 15

    minutes before games and 15 minutes aftergames when everybody is picking on every-body and the barbs are flying around theroom. I love the teamcamaraderie stuff.Hes undoubtedly good at it. HeresWulder

    on playing with a second generation Reelie:Fifteen years from now, youll be writing astory about howour sonTyler [whos five now]will be playingwith a guywho playedwith hisfather.Or how aboutWulder on the adjustments of

    aging: I havent had to shift from forward todefence, like some guys do as they get older.Its a good thing because I dont have the bodytype toplay defenceor thework ethic.Or how aboutWulder on whether fans real-

    ize how old he is: I dont think many peopleknow. Idoagood jobofkeepingmyhelmeton,which keepsme fromshowingmyhairline.Hes a fun kid, said Adanacs general man-

    ager Les Wingrove. He does a good job ofkeeping everyone loose. And hes a prankster.He getsmeall the time.Next year? Thats a whole other story, as

    always.I have no idea, said Wulder. Im pretty

    sure that this ismy last year. But I always leaveit until March or April, and Les and I sit downand talk.

    a place at the Western Canadi-an Championships by crushingthe competition at the provincialchampionships in Langford overthe weekend.The Vipers rolled through the

    round-robin, going 4-0, to booka place in the best-of-three finalwith the Clearwater Crushers, whorepresented British Columbia at lastyears Western Canadian Champi-onships.The Vipers had mercy-ruled

    Clearwater 14-6 in the round robinand got off to a good start in thefirst game thanks to some clutchdefence. Up two runs in the seventhinning, and with the tying run atthe plate, the Vipers second base-man snagged a line drive heading

    towards the gap to save a likelyhome run. The catch helped sealthe game and left the Vipers a winfrom gold.The Vipers, undefeated in 34

    outings, showed some nerves inthe second game and the Crusherstook advantage, using their bats towalk away with a 7-4 victory and atie series.Nevertheless, the Vipers reboun-

    ded well in the third game, withtwo of the first three batters hittinghome runs. That was all the offenceChilliwacks pitching needed, as theVipers hurlers combined to give upjust two hits and no runs to lead theVipers to the championship.It was a long, intensevery

    BY MARILYNNE V BLACKFor the Times

    Summer reading is an importantcomponent of an overall reading pro-gram. Research shows that summervacation often has a significant nega-

    tive effect on student learning.A recent article in the International Read-

    ing Associations ReadingToday (June/July2010) refers to this loss as summer slide,summer setback and/or summer slump.It states that threemonths ormore of learn-ing loss can take place, especially those whomay not have access to readingmaterialduring their vacation from school. Providingopportunities for students to read regularlyduring the summer can prevent this readingachievement loss. The bottom line is thatstudents who read during the summer dobetter in the fall. (www.readwritethink.org).Other ways to help prevent this summer

    slippage?1. Make reading every day a priority.

    Schedule it inreading just 20minutes aday greatly impacts a childs literacy. Co-ordinate your childs interests and familysummer activities with books. For instanceon rainy days check out some craft books forinteresting projects.When going on shorttrips find information books to complementthe outing i.e. what lives in a pond/lake/theseashore, insects in themeadow/aroundmyhome?2. Go to the local library. It has a summer

    reading club and a summer family story-time.3. Take a trip around the world. Get a

    worldmap, choose a number of countriesto visit and read two folk tales, two infor-mation books, two picture books/or novels(depending on the age of children) abouteach country. Bring in a bit of math bymak-ing a few recipes from that country.4. Investigate your family history and

    make a family tree. Find folktales and infor-mation books about that country or coun-tries; interview grandparents.5. Study the night sky. Use such books as

    There Oncewas a Sky Full of Stars by BobCre-lin and Stars andGalaxies by Robin Kerrod.

    6.Visit useful websites such as:

    ReadWrite Think at www.readwritethink.org.

    scholarship and is headed to Uni-versity of Fraser Valley in Septem-ber.The MS Societys Scholarship

    Program, supported by Billy Talentand Friends, is designed to helpstudents who have MS or have aparent with MS. Neufeld is one of100 students receiving a portion ofthe $100,000 disbursed this year.In 1998, my dad was diagnosed

    with multiple sclerosis, Neufeldsays. I was only four years old

    then, so I could probably say thatMS has been part of my entirelife. There have been times whenit has made difficult and tryingcircumstances for our family, butas a result, we have grown reallyclose.Because of our closeness, my

    dad has been able to teach me alot, and my life has been definitelyenriched by him.

    of Canada says: We are thrilledthat EmilyNeufeld has been select-ed. She has made her communityproud and we wish her well in her

    upcoming studies.Launched in 2006, the MS Soci-

    ety of Canada Scholarship programhas offered financial assistance tostudents who have MS or have aparent with MS. A call for applica-tions was made in December 2009and in the end, $100,000 in schol-arships was disbursed.Thescholarshipprogrambecame

    possible when Aaron Solowoniuk,MS youth ambassador and drum-mer for Juno Award-winning rockband Billy Talent came to the MSSociety looking for a creative wayto use his influence to help youthimpacted by MS. Aaron himselfwas diagnosed with MS when hewas 22. The MS scholarship pro-gram is an important resource for

    Canadian youth with MS as well asthose living with MS in their fam-ily. I am proud to have supportedit since its inception through vari-ous events including art shows,golf tournaments and some prettyamazing rock concerts, Solowoni-uk said.Solowoniuk continues to encour-

    age support from other potentialfunders. His work on theMS Schol-arship program and other youthinitiatives has become an integralpart of the societys portfolio tosupport youth and young adults.

    The next scholarship competitionwill begin to accept applications inDecember 2010 with funds beingdistributed in early 2011.
