City stays calm as waters rise Dikes in no danger of being topped: engineer Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The mood was subdued at city hall Tuesday as the city’s top engineer presented a mostly reassuring freshet update to Chilliwack council. Water levels on the Lower Fraser are expected to crest by Friday or Saturday, and properties inside the dikes are not at risk, he said. Projections for the next week or so have peak flow estimates coming in at between 12,500 and 13,500 cubic metres per second on the Fraser River at Hope, or about the equivalent of 6.4 or seven metres at Mission. That’s more snow melt and rain water coming down the river than has been seen in decades. There’s also more rain on the way. “To put everything into context, we haven’t seen flows over 12,000 cubic metres per second since 1972,” said David Blain, director of engineering. But despite the high water, everything located inside the city’s 50 km of diking infrastructure will be protected, up to a level of eight metres at Mission. “Even the highest projection so far is only up to seven metres. There’s no risk the dike will be overtopped,” he said. “It’s not even going to come close.” For the 42 homes outside the dike protection, the story is a little different. Owners are nervously watching the water levels. Several could likely see some water on their properties, depending on weather conditions in the next few days. “Areas outside the dike generally will get wet,” Blain said. “The other thing we’ll see is seepage through the dike.” That’s expected. “But some (property owners) who haven’t seen seepage for years, are going to see it this year.” Continued: FLOOD/ p4

Dix visits ‘the outsiders’ in flood risk Robert Freeman The Progress BC NDP Leader Adrian Dix visited Chilliwack farmers outside the dike Tuesday as the swollen Fraser River threatened to spill its banks and flood area homes and fields. “We’re here to learn and work with the community and municipal government to make sure we continue to do the best we can ... not just this year but in the years to come,” Dix said. A long-term solution to flooding issues will be expensive, he said, “but it’s very expensive not to deal with them.”
He said all three levels of government, federal, provincial and municipal, “need to do a better job” of flood management in B.C. Dix and recently-elected Chilliwack-Hope MLA Gwen O’Mahony talked with Will Davis, president of the Carey Point Improvement Society, during the Tuesday visit. Davis, whose family has been farming a property that lies outside the Chilliwack dike since 1891, said flooding was not an issue until regular dredging of the river stopped. He said gravel build-up on the river bottom since then has
pushed the water out further toward the dikes during spring freshet, and eroded more of the “buffer zone” that is part of the dike design. Davis and about 11 other Chilliwack residents live in this buffer zone meant to keep river waters away from the dike. The zone is part of the dike’s design and protects residents living on the city-side. But getting government funds to maintain the zone with protective works has been a struggle, Davis said, despite municipal taxes paid by the residents. “When they built the dike,
we ended up on the outside,” he said. “We didn’t build on the outside. We didn’t have a choice.” Davis’s wife, Shanda, said Carey Point residents have taken to calling themselves “the outsiders.” The residents chipped in about $50,000 to rebuild a berm that collapsed during last year’s freshet, and the B.C. government and city contributed $25,000 each. The city spent another $100,000 on a separate structure in the area called a check dam to redirect river water. rfreeman@theprogress.com

City hosts ‘mythical’ inspector to talk about medical grows Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The conversation about dangers posed by medical marijuana grow-ops in residential areas finally took place last week between City of Chilliwack and Health Canada officials. It was “long overdue,” said Coun. Chuck Stam, head of
the city’s public safety committee at the Tuesday council meeting where he recounted what happened. “It was a tough conversation to have. It’s been a bone of contention for municipalities for years.” He called the 11-year-old medical marijuana program “fraught with grief,” from the municipal health and safety point of view, but also from the
federal perspective. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said it was great to “finally welcome” an inspector to city hall. An inspector had been considered “a mythical creature,” until they actually met one in person, she quipped. “We were very pleased they took us seriously enough to send the right people so we could have a conversation
about what we’re seeing out there,” said Stam. One of the concerns is kids living in houses where marijuana is growing, and illegal grows that are reborn as legal grows under the current medical marijuana program. “I don’t think the incredible danger they pose was realized initially by Health Canada when the rules were drawn

up,” he said. City officials played host to the federal government officials on June 13, which included the head of the regional compliance program for Health Canada, and a representative from Crown Counsel in Ottawa. “We were grateful that they heard first-hand from RCMP, Fire Department and Bylaw
Enforcement that we have serious concerns.” The Chilliwack reps learned the federal government is poised to overhaul the Medical Marijuana Access Regulations legislation. The goal is to have the ability to license growers and shift medical marijuana production to commercial operations. Continued: CITY/ p6

Chilliwack RCMP are reporting the “disturbing” theft of a senior’s motorized scooter designed for disabled persons. But because the theft took place some time between Feb. 3 and March 10 when the 63-year-old victim was in hospital, police have no leads on possible suspects. So police are asking anyone with information about the stolen scooter to give them a call. “The motivation behind stealing an item like this is not monetary, it’s really just mean-spirited,” RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. The victim is also pleading for the return the scooter that’s helped her get around for the last eight years. Living with her disability is “awfully inconvenient” without the scooter, the victim told The Progress on Wednesday. “I have a walker, but with the scooter I could get a few groceries,” she said.
The scooter also gave her a degree of independence that taxis just can’t replace. “It’s awfully inconvenient to have to wait for somebody ... and taxis still cost,” she said, even with the Taxi-Saver program. The woman said she left her Wellington Avenue apartment in the care of friends while she was in hospital recovering from a car accident. But they were away on vacation when she returned home, and she thought they might have moved the scooter, which further delayed reporting the theft to police. Her mother’s gold wedding ring was also stolen. The woman is hoping the ring and the scooter may yet be returned. “Even if they’d drop it off and leave it in front of my place (on Wellington Avenue) or in a public place with a note on it, as long as I get it back it doesn’t matter,” she said. Anyone with info is asked to call Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611.
Omnibus bill ‘insulates’ Canada’s economy: MP Strahl Robert Freeman The Progress It was a “black day” for Canada’s environment. Or it was the salvation of the nation’s economy. Those were the contrasting views of passage of the Conservative government’s omnibus budget bill last week in Ottawa. Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl said after the Friday vote that the Jobs, Growth and Long Term Prosperity Act will “insulate” Canada’s economy from the ravages of the financial chaos in Europe. “There’s a real threat things could unravel there very quickly,” he said. And he insisted the legislation will better protect the environment by bringing “limited resources of government to where they can have the most effect.”
“It will protect the Fraser River fishery and allow farmers in Agassiz to clean out their ditches,” he said. Tory MPs had to muster their slim 10-seat majority in the House 160 times to defeat amendments proposed by Opposition MPs. “We had to win every one or the government fell,” Strahl said. There was one more vote Monday before the bill goes to the Senate for final assent, but Strahl said he didn’t expect Liberal senators to make “as heroic a stand as the NDP in the House.” “I expect it will proceed much like other legislation,” he said. Wendy Major, a Chilliwack resident who took part in a protest outside Strahl’s Chilliwack office last Friday, said she is “disappointed our economy is going to be open for business” as a result of the vote. “My heart goes out to all those
people who tried their best to have the present government see reason,” she said. About 80 people gathered outside Strahl’s office to protest the bill. Major is also an organizer of the Pipe Up Network opposed to expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline, which environmentalist Ben West said will have a better chance of approval now because of the Friday vote. But he believes the very success of the Tory bill will turn up the temperature of public anger and create a “broader coalition” of opposition scaring away potential economic investors in Canada. “If anything, it creates an even greater uncertainty,” he said, “and I think there will be perhaps even more court challenges.” Marvin Rosenau, a vocal critic of the changes to fish habitat provisions
in the legislation, was most upset by the way government achieved its goal. “It’s one thing to say we are going to do one thing or another, and the majority of the country agrees,” he

Weather is still a consideration, and rainfall that could add to peak flows is being called for by the end of the week. “The River Forecast Centre isn’t factoring in projected rainfalls into the peak flow projections they’ve give us, so the final totals could be much higher,” said Blain. “It makes the forecast more accurate but it gives us less lead time.” At Carey Point, more than half the trees along one section are going into the water rapidly due to ongoing erosion. It’s near the newly constructed berm, put in by a group of residents, made of gravel and dirt that stretches a kilometre long. Both the recently completed berm and the engineered check dam are built to protect up to a measure of
proof, and sandbagging might be undertaken by those owners as a precautionary measure. “We’ll be keeping an eye on them,” Blain said. An evacuation alert was already issued earlier this week to have residents in the unprotected areas ready to leave at a moment’s notice. Emergency Social Services will find accommodations for any evacuees for a maximum of three days. “We’re encouraging people to get ready by getting together what they need to be prepared to go,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “I hope we all stay high and dry.” Check out more at chilliwack.com for emergency preparedness details, like what to put in grab-and-go bags.

here were Van Meers and Dhaliwals, Malloways and Froeses, Kims and MacDonalds in the spotlight on June 14 and 15 as more than a thousand new graduates of the University of the Fraser Valley, including several hundred from Chilliwack and surrounding areas, crossed the stage at three convocation ceremonies at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. Approximately 2,100 students earned credentials at UFV this year, and at least half of them attended ceremonies for their moment of glory as friends and family from across the Fraser Valley and beyond cheered them on from the stands. UFV president Mark Evered told the graduates that convocation marks the end of one phase of life and the beginning of another. “I know you faced many challenges in your studies and in your lives outside of classes. I know about your sacrifices and the talent and effort you needed to succeed. You’re entitled to be proud of that, because we are very proud of you too. But I’m sure your studies have also brought a sense of humility. Mine certainly did. Every time I learn something

City seeks answers on medical grow ops
Mac Attack Smack down!
CITY from p3 If the proposal goes through, the new regulations will come into effect in 2014. The medical grow-ops will have to comply with building codes, “which will create more of a regulatory regime,” for them, Stam said. “It will be done professionally, not just in basements, where the venting smells and public safety issues spill over into our neighbourhoods.” “A few things still give me pause,” Mayor Gaetz said about the proposed changes. “There are no provisions contained in the proposal for protection of children, which I think is shortsighted, and is something that needs to be looked at. The mayor dubbed it “a very interesting” session, adding they could sense some of the frustration being felt by federal officials on this issue. “We also want to be able to protect our staff in terms of health and safety.” A public consultation period is expected to start by mid-October. Under existing rules, Health Canada inspectors can go into medicinal grows, but they need a warrant to do so. “That was a surprise to us,” Stam said. If they’re growing too many plants, there’s no way to revoke the licence. All the inspector can do is remove the excess plants, he added.

School district hires new superintendent After nearly a year of searching, Chilliwack school district has finally appointed a new superintendent. The school district issued a press release Wednesday afternoon announcing the appointment of Evelyn Novak to superintendent of schools for the Chilliwack school district, effective August 15, 2012. Novak has a bachelor of education, a post graduate diploma in educational administration and a masters of education, which focused on the roles and functions of an effective CEO in a public education environment. Novak also has an extensive background in teaching, schoolbased administration and district-level leadership. She hails from Saskatoon, Sask., where for the past six years she was CEO of the Prairie Spirit School Division. Novak is known for her collaborative leadership style, which was
evident in her work in amalgamating three school divisions. She is also held in high regard for work uniting cultures, communities and staff with a 90 per cent satisfaction rating.
Novak will be replacing superintendent Michael Audet, who was hired last June on a oneyear temporary contract after former superintendent Corinne McCabe resigned from her posi-
tion a year before her contract completed. Audet’s contract expires on July 31, but indicated to The Progress earlier this week he may be needed longer for transition.

Preparing for a growing & healthier senior population
John’s Story
One of the realities that BC communities are facing today is an aging population. Those aged 65 and older make up about 15% of the population, up from 10% in 1979. That number is expected to reach 23% by 2030, according to BC Stats. Considering this trend and wanting to re-examine its role in senior related services, Chilliwack Community Services held a forum earlier this year bringing together a group of community minded people who share a passion for bettering the lives of seniors in Chilliwack. Out of the energy and enthusiasm of that day, a range of ideas were brainstormed. A number were short listed as meeting our goal of ensuring that a wider range of community social needs are met. Over the next year, Chilliwack Community Services will: • assist in the promotion of BC 211, a free phone number that is helpful to seniors, families and caregivers. It is a central source of information on social, community and government services that is free, confidential, multilingual, and answered by professional staff 24/7. • capitalize on the pool of qualified and skilled seniors in our community by matching them with volunteer opportunities. • identify partners that we can work with, either as lead or supporting organizations, on projects to build a more senior friendly community. • identify individuals, organizations or service groups interested in helping to fund these projects. • create an advisory group that will contribute expertise, provide guidance and help build the partnerships needed as we move forward with this work. Anyone wanting more information or wishing to participate is invited to contact April Neave, Community Programs Director at 604.393.3251 or neavea@comserv.bc.ca.
John lives alone, but he still sets his kitchen table — the way his wife did for so many years before she passed away - and waits. Five days a week, just before noon, a friendly Meals on Wheels volunteer delivers a homecooked hot meal right to his door. With a wistful smile, he recalls, “I can remember the meatloaf and gravy my Betty would cook; this comes pretty close.” John is 82 and seldom leaves his home. A recent heart attack and constant hip pain make getting out and about difficult. Photos of his family are all around his apartment and he cherishes those memories. He knows that his daughter and grandchildren love him, but they live too far away to visit very often. There is always a bowl of candies on the coffee table just in case they do. John is one of many individuals in Chilliwack who rely on Meals on Wheels to help him stay in the familiar surroundings of his own home. John’s family also feels a great sense of relief knowing someone is watching out for him. Meals on Wheels deliver fresh or frozen nutritious meals to seniors and people of all ages who are recovering from illness or injury and not able to prepare adequate meals for themselves. The service allows individuals to remain in the familiarity and comfort of their own home. Monday through Friday, volunteers use their own vehicles to deliver meals, including soup, entrée and dessert, right to the door. Cost per meal is $6.25, and delivery can be arranged by calling 604.793.7242.

Dikes serve us well Last week in this space, we urged Chilliwack residents to keep the current Fraser River warnings in perspective; that, while the region has a history of flooding, dike improvements over recent years, and the expected river volumes, make it unlikely we’ll see a major event in the immediate future. We stick by that claim. On Monday, the City of Chilliwack issued an “evacuation alert” for residents living outside the city’s diking system. That’s part of the city’s protocol; it’s what it is supposed to do. But the announcement generated reaction that at times bordered on hysterical. One Vancouver newspaper reported Chilliwack was about be “inundated.” Hogwash. Yes, a handful of properties outside the dike are at risk. But Chilliwack itself remains well protected behind a diking system that can handle flood levels of more than eight metres. Predictions for this week suggest the Fraser will peak Friday at just under 6.4 meters. It’s hard to dispute the awesome power of the Fraser River, especially while watching it gnaw away the shoreline at Island 22. But the fact remains that much effort has been made over the years to tame that power and protect the lives and property on this side of the dike. True, more can always be done. And city officials continue to lobby various levels of government for funding to help extend and strengthen the diking system. But as city engineer David Blain told Chilliwack city council on Tuesday, the current system will serve us well. “Even the highest [river level] projection so far is only up to seven metres. There’s no risk the dike will be overtopped,” he said. “It’s not even going to come close.” (See story, front page.) ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Choosing work instead of living off welfare VICTORIA – The B.C. government has taken some modest steps to tighten up the province’s income assistance system, and to encourage people to work when they are able to. With Premier Christy Clark swooping in to take credit, Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux unveiled changes that included fixing the worst mistake in B.C. Liberal policy. Cadieux acknowledged that B.C. was the only province that clawed back all earnings from employable welfare recipients, and she announced that from now on they will be able to earn up to $200 a month without penalty. The exemption for disabled people is increased from $500 to $800 a month. Another important change is requiring welfare recipients to file income tax returns. People can now do temporary work when it

comes along, report the income and take advantage of the various tax credits that come from participating in society instead of just living off it. Any experience earning money is valuable experience. With baby boomers starting to retire in big numbers, the expected labour shortage has Tom begun across WestCanada. FLETCHER er n And yet, increasing numbers of foreign workers are coming in to do farm and other work, while many young people are unemployed. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon took note of this during his budget preparations. Increasing numbers of young, employable people were applying for welfare in southern
B.C., while jobs go begging in the booming northeast. Falcon mused about setting up a program to provide training and plane fare for these people, an idea quickly dubbed “welfare air.” Another effort to get young people working is Jobfest, a rockthemed road show currently touring northern B.C. towns. It attracts young people with music and souvenirs like drumsticks and guitar picks, and offers them skills assessment using sexy iPad apps and graphics that depict carpentry as cool. If Jobfest and welfare air sound a bit desperate, it’s because they are. They illustrate our society’s problem. We have a public school system where students pass whether they do the work or not. The culture assumes self-esteem is more important than achievement. The teachers’ union con-
stantly sets an example that the way to get what you want is to stamp your feet and demand it from government. What do we expect young people to learn? And how easy is it for B.C. to slip into a Greece-like tailspin, where a majority expects to be carried on the backs of the shrinking minority who do productive work? Old-timers might recall when Mike Harcourt’s NDP government took over from the allegedly miserly Social Credit regime and raised welfare rates. They compounded that mistake by relaxing eligibility rules and making it easier for employable people to stay on welfare. After a couple of years of this wealth redistribution, 10 per cent of the B.C. population was on welfare, with more piling on every day. Faced with the results of this staggering blunder, Harcourt lashed

out at “cheats, deadbeats and varmints” scamming B.C. taxpayers and launched a crackdown on fraud. Later the NDP cut the basic rate for single employables to $500 a month. Today it stands at $610, and the NDP looks poised to repeat history. Surrey MLA Jagrup Brar did a month-long publicity stunt in January, living on welfare by wandering from shelter to food bank with TV cameras trailing behind. Brar would have been better off if welfare air had been available. Instead of learning to live off the burgeoning urban handout industry, he could have gone up to Dawson Creek or Fort St. John and worked as a labourer.

Tycrop manage this, let alone feel that this is fair to those living there. The issues are many, and at the May 24 meeting, Tycrop put on a ‘show’ – an obviously rehearsed song and dance. Their attempt to dazzle the public with their artist rendition of the future of Tycrop; boggled my mind; with one man spewing predesigned questions and one of the others regurgitating an answer – giving no space for immediate response from the ‘audience’. Mr. T’s repetitive comment about how long he has lived here is laughable; please I out trump him as I am 57 years old, lived in Rosedale my whole life and on McGrath since ’87. So if we are going to argue like six-year-olds, then so be it – I have been here longer!

Once they invest all that money into improvements, again, it will make a bigger case for them to take away the farmland on south side of tracks. If Tycrop is all concerned with the well being of the neighboring community; explain to me how anyone with a conscience can build eight-foot high solid metal fences around people who have been living there for years – Yale Road East between McGrath and the railway, is a disgrace and the City should not have allowed this to happen – for normal residential areas there is a bylaw with how high a neighbor can build a fence and the type of fence – how does

Re: Tycrop expansion. No offence to Tycrop Industry – they are a success in their own right. However it is time to relocate if their expansion plans disrupt the entire community. The Fraser Valley has set aside plenty of industrial zoned areas for businesses such as Tycrop; it’s zoned industry for a reason. It shouldn’t be up to us on McGrath South to pay for their short-sightedness; when Tycrop first located to McGrath Road, did they not think, one day they might have to expand? Did they not wonder where a future expansion would be possible? ‘Toe-holds’ are a pattern I see forming; the more they get in place the harder it will be for the decision-makers to say no; such as, the new rezoning signs erected in Rosedale to accommodate their parking; oh wait, they already put

Surrey man charged with drug trafficking Police have named a suspected drug trafficker who was arrested after fleeing from a suspected drug house in Chilliwack last Thursday. Kane Wilson, 38, of Surrey, is charged with two counts of possession for trafficking purposes, possession of a controlled substance, carrying a weapon or prohibited device, and resisting a peace officer, police said Tuesday. Police said Wilson and a second suspect fled from officers who stopped them last Thursday for questioning while investigating a tip that drugs were being sold from a Cook Street residence. Police said a “large quantity” of methamphetamine was seized as a result of the arrest, along with a prohibited weapon.”

With the summer vacation season drawing near, some of us will be hosting family and friends from abroad and looking to make their stay as enjoyable and comfortable as possible. There are a number of things you can do to take good care of your guests, like ensuring they are properly covered in case they need medical attention during their visit. Before they arrive, discuss the importance of having travel insurance protection for the duration of their stay. Medical expenses for nonBritish Columbian residents are not covered by the provincial government. If your visitors arrive with no travel insurance protection, BCAA’s Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance coverage can provide up to $300,000 in emergency medical protection. BCAA’s Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance offers coverage for items such as hospital expenses and prescription drugs, as well as other options like trip cancellation insurance. In addition, coverage is worldwide (except in the visitor’s home country), as long as the majority of their time is spent visiting in Canada.

DONNA WYANT requirement. For example, the Parent and Grandparent Super Visa allows relatives to visit for up to two years, and travel insurance coverage is required for the application. BCAA’s Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance can be purchased for visitors coming to Canada on a Super Visa, to meet the application requirement. It pays to do your research and seek out the right travel insurance policy. Nonresident health coverage rates vary by province, type of treatment and the patient’s condition, but in general, a daily hospitalization rate can be quite costly. Call or visit your nearest BCAA location to learn more about how BCAA Visitors to Canada Travel Insurance can help protect your guests from costly medical expenses, or go to bcaa.com/visitors to learn more.

region. “There was this explosion of culture and language and music. I got to know all the main writers and singers of the area,” he said, adding he played music constantly. “It was all I needed to do. There was never a problem to find places to play.” But that wasn’t the case when he moved to the Fraser Valley in 1981 with his wife Anne-Marie. When Xavier decided he wanted to put on a music festival in Mission it took a little convincing, but once partners and investors saw Fraser River Heritage Park they climbed onboard. The inaugural folk fest was a one-day, one-stage event, remembers Xavier. It was sunny, with a few lazy clouds wafting by and when it got dark they had to stop because there weren’t any
ing ovation. “To see the audience respond like that was very warm,” said Xavier. Another festival hosted the famed Fado singer Mariza, who within minutes of being on stage had the audience in her hand, he said. When she finally finished and walked off there was simply a stunned silence. “Music is the highest expression of who we are as human beings in a culture,” says Xavier, adding he brings musicians from around the world so Mission can share in a world it would not otherwise see or hear. The 25th Mission Folk Music Festival runs July 19-22 at Fraser River Heritage Park.

lights. Still, hundreds of people came out to listen. Now the festival draws thousands and every festival since then is borne of the previous one, he says. The nearly 350 volunteers have a seemingly inexhaustible enthusiasm and ideas each year, and most return again and again. “It takes a village to grow a child and it takes a community to grow a festival,” Xavier says, shrugging off credit for keeping it going a quarter century. Although each festival has had its unique moments, a few stand out in Xavier’s mind. In 2004 a pair of elderly Inuit throat singers from Nunavut got on stage and began a musical battle, the objective of which is to make the other throat singer stop and laugh. When they were finished they received a stand-

Everyone is invited to the downtown Chilliwack Post Office on June 21 to meet local artist Ardell Bourgeois. Canada Post official Christine Lavergne, lead hand in retail, has organized a special “celebration” for him Thursday afternoon, stemming from her patriotic pride and a strong interest in Canadian history. The coin commemorates the Bicentennial of the War of 1812, with three powerful looking figures: an English sergeant, an Iroquois warrior and a Voltigeur Canadien. “I thought that was interesting and that we should recognize it with an event for the public. It represents a time in our history when Canada really drew a line in the sand,” said Lavergne. She’d read the story in The Progress last March about how the artist’s impressive design came to be stamped on a Canadian coin. The Alberta-born Bourgeois, an Emily Carr grad, earned the honour by winning a design competition for the 2012 silver dollar coin. He’s had a strong interest in military history and aviation for as long as he can remember, and won 14 awards at aviation art shows. Bourgeois has his work displayed in museums, from the Canadian War Museum and Canadian Aviation Museum in Ottawa to features in magazines. But still they had never done anything like this before, Lavergne explained, in the 25 years she’s been with Canada Post in Chilliwack. She had to secure official permission for the event from both Canada Post and the Canadian Mint. “It’s not about selling the coins. It’s a really exciting opportunity to celebrate Canada’s 200-year moment, as well as the work of a local artist,” said Lavergne. The end of the 1812 skirmish also kicked off 200 years of peace between Canada and the United States, and accordingly there are 200 tiny beads of silver around the rim of the silver dollar. The June 21 celebration will allow the public to meet Ardell Bourgeois at the Yale Road post office on Thursday afternoon between 12:30 and 3 p.m. and to have their 2012 coin packages signed by him. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Mission Folk Music Festival founder Francis Xavier life’s path might be traced back to an act of karma. Or at least that’s what he says. He pinpoints a warm summer night in the late 1960s in Monte Ray, California. He was out with friends when they happened to “trip” over a 12-foot fence and wound up in the jazz festival. He remembers wandering in to the main stadium at dusk just as Woody Herman and his Thundering Herd came on stage. The experience was revelatory. “I think the moral of the story is that if you sneak into a festival you may end up running one someday,” he says chuckling. Xavier began the Mission Folk Music Festival in 1988 at Fraser River Heritage Park, which had only recently opened at the time, and the event has been going strong ever since. Back in the 1960s when Xavier developed what would become a lifetime affinity for music, the music industry couldn’t carry the volume of artists it does today. There was no Internet, iTunes or MP3 players. So bands would go to music festivals. Some of those festivals, like Woodstock, became the iconic image of the hippy folk-rock music era. Part of those roots survive at folk festivals today, but despite his long, white wispy hair, Xavier hesitates to call himself a hippy. Born in 1950, Xavier was a product of the baby boomer generation, which he says had a lasting cultural influence on many things, including music. Xavier moved to Europe in 1971 (mainly out of curiosity to see his parents homeland of Ireland, though 41 years later he has yet to arrive) and stayed for a decade. It was during his travels of Greece, Italy, and Germany that he developed a taste for the diversity of world music. When dictator Francisco Franco died in 1975, Xavier says there was a Spanish renaissance, particularly in the Basque

Pancake Breakfast
The weather may not have been perfect, but the run was. Chilliwack’s first ever Father’s Day Walk Run for Prostate Cancer on Sunday raised close to $12,000 with 81 walkers and runners participating. And while the day was rife with downpours, the heavier rain held off through the duration of the 5 km event, only starting up again when nearly all runners were back at the ASU enjoying a hot pancake breakfast prepared by the Mt. Cheam Lion’s Club. Dale Erikson, chairman of the Chilliwack chapter of the Prostate Cancer Canada Network and organizer of the walk, is already looking ahead to next year. Province wide the event raised over $170,000 – which will go towards raising awareness about prostate cancer and funding research into treatments and a cure for the common disease.

SLEEP APNEA?
As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals. To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 #23 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing.

Live wires and watery tunnels at Tough Mudder Eric J. Welsh, The Progress There’s something that doesn’t quite add up sitting across the table from Cindy Marcotte. The women in the chair seems shy and soft-spoken, not brash and bold. This is confusing, because the interview is about a grueling athletic competition called the Tough Mudder, and your friendly neighborhood sports reporter is expecting someone ... tough. Marcotte is supposed to be that person. A few days earlier, one of her spin-class pupils sent an email. “Tell Cindy she’s a brutal spin-class instructor,” she lamented. “And I don’t know why I’ve been going for two years!” Reading that, one naturally gets the visual of some crazy off-the-wall drill sergeant, perhaps wielding a bull-whip as she conducts her classes. The woman sitting across the table seems far more likely to bake the class some cupcakes. Is this some sort of Jekyll and Hyde scenario? “Don’t put this in the paper,” Marcotte laughs before admitting she does have an alter-ego. “It’s kind of a Lara Croft Tomb Raider sort of thing, putting it all out there. Full guns. Don’t quit.” Lara Croft? Perfect! Lara Croft is exactly the sort of woman who would tackle the Tough Mudder. Tough! Indomitable will! Tremendously athletic! But, how does quiet Cindy Marcotte flip the switch and become this competitive juggernaut, this whirling dervish of athletic fury?
Cindy Marcotte is ready for the challenge of her life as she takes on the gruelling Tough Mudder competition in Whistler. A test of physical and mental endurance, Tough Mudder promises to push Marcotte to her limits. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Does it involve spinach? “When I’m not at the gym or running, I’m an oncology nurse who deals with a lot of death,” she says. “Flipping that switch is how I cope. I want to do as much as I can while I can. And when I get into something, my attitude is that I want to own it because life’s too short to do anything less that your best.” Marcotte will need to be at her Lara Croftish best as
she heads up to Whistler on Saturday. The 42-year-old has done marathons before. Pfft! Easy. The Tough Mudder? That’s something else entirely. “Road-running may give you a healthy set of lungs, but will leave you with as much upper body strength as Keira Knightley,” the Tough Mudder website says derisively. “At Tough
Mudder, we want to test your all-around mettle, not just your ability to run in a straight line, on your own, for hours on end, getting bored out of your mind.” The Whistler Tough Mudder course is 10 miles of hell. There are 23 obstacles along the way. Some are nice and light, like the ‘Swamp Stomp’ through a pit of waist-deep sludge. Others are a little more
daunting, like, for instance, running through fire. The Funky Monkey compels competitors to swing across greased up monkeybars with an ice-cold pool waiting below for those who fall. The 24th and final obstacle is called Electroshock Therapy. Competitors go charging through a field of live wires, some carrying up to 10,000 volts.
Good times. The map even has a couple of ‘mystery obstacles’ that promise ‘something truly bad-ass.’ The one that makes Marcotte nervous is the Boa Constrictor, an obstacle that has her crawl through a series of pipes full of freezing water and not much air. Not fun for someone with an admitted fear of water. Continued: MARCOTTE/ p35

“That’s the biggest thing for me doing Tough Mudder is to face that fear,” Marcotte says. “I almost drowned twice when I was a kid, so when I get near water, cold water especially, there’s a gnawing feeling in my stomach. I can swim, but I’m not comfortable around it. What better way to overcome fears than to dive in head first.” Easy to say now. But what about Saturday, when she’s face to face with that Boa Constrictor (check out visuals at toughmudder.com/events/vancouver). “I’ve never faced this fear quite like this, but I’m going to look at it and say, ‘I’m going to destroy you,” Marcotte says boldly. “And then, if I feel I can’t, my teammates will push me in.” With her marathons and other activities, Marcotte has always trained alone. The team aspect of Tough Mudder presents something new. A perfectionist by nature, Marcotte has faith in her physical abilities and mental toughness, and she doesn’t expect anyone will actually have to toss her into the watery tunnel. In marathons, her final time is her own, for better or for worse. At Tough Mudder, her end result will be affected by those around her. She has to fit her perfectionist ways into the team dynamic, and that will be another challenge. “It’s neither good or bad, but different, and it will be nice to have teammates to cheer you on and help you through,” she says. “As far as results, I’m in this to do it. I’m not in it to win it. The competitiveness for me will be doing things that challenge me. Jumping
into cold water from a platform 15 feet in the air, that is a challenge to me. And there’s no backing down.” Whatever the end result, Marcotte is confident the experience will be worth the trouble. “It’s not going to feel good on a whole lot of levels,” she says. “But I expect the same feeling that I get when I finish a marathon — the

Nanaimo’s Mid Isle Highlanders. Chilliwack had early control in Saturday’s match against leagueleading Victoria United (6-2-1). The locals went up 1-0 on a penalty kick by Connor MacMillan. MacMillan’s sixth of the season moved him into second place in the Pacific Coast Soccer League goal-scoring race, but his team’s lead didn’t last long. Against the run of the play, Victoria equalized before halftime.
In an evenly played second half, the visitors scored with mere minutes remaining, and held on for the 2-1 win. Chris Wellsman and Derek De Groot scored for Victoria. Chilliwack faced the second place Highlanders (5-3-1) on Sunday. Nanaimo took an early 1-0 lead and carried it into halftime.

Rocky’s road leads to UFV as Olfert joins Cascades After a national search for a new athletic director that lasted nearly nine months, the University of the Fraser Valley ended up finding its man just across town. Rocky Olfert, the erstwhile athletic director at Columbia Bible College, has been hired to fill the same role at UFV. It amounts to a promotion for Olfert – the CBC Bearcats teams play in the PacWest collegiate conference, while four of UFV’s eight teams are members of Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS), the nation’s top university league. Still, Olfert said he’s making the move with mixed emotions. “I’ve really been blessed with some great years at CBC, but from a careers perspective, I was looking for a new challenge,” said Olfert, whose two stints at CBC add up to a decade. “When this (UFV job) came open, I thought it would provide me with those new challenges and opportunities, and allow me to expand my skill set. I just think there’s so much potential at UFV.”
If it’s a challenge Olfert desires, he’ll get that in spades at UFV, where the athletic department is coming off a tumultuous year. In mid-October, it came to light that the Cascades’ four nonCIS sports programs – men’s and women’s volleyball, men’s golf, and rowing – were on the chopping block due to funding shortfalls. The teams in limbo went into the community and raised $38,000 to bridge the financial gap and secure their futures for 2012-13. Earlier this month, men’s basketball coach Barnaby Craddock departed for greener pastures, as he was hired away by the Alberta Golden Bears. Losing the high-profile bench boss was a huge blow – Craddock had fashioned the Cascades into a national championship contender over his five seasons in Abbotsford. Adam Friesen, an assistant under Craddock, will helm the squad next season on an interim basis. All the while, the athletic department was without a permanent director – the univer-
BCHL boosting digital profile The British Columbia Hockey League and FASTHockey announced a long-term partnership Tuesday, putting the junior A circuit at the forefront of the digital broadcasting wave. The par tnership kicks in for the 2012-13 season. Based in Boston, with additional offices in Detroit and Vancouver, FASTHockey serves as a digital media partner of several national governing bodies including Hockey Canada, USA Hockey, and the German Ice Hockey Federation. They also work with collegiate governing bodies and institutions, a massive number of junior hockey leagues and teams in North America, college preparatory and high schools and youth hockey teams. Through the BCHL partnership, fans will have access to a plat-
form boasting video, instant game archival for video-on-demand playback, advanced player features like pause, rewind, and fastforward for live games, user-generated instant replays, and full social integration. Also, they will be able to choose from home and away broadcasts. FASTHockey will have Chilliwack’s Prospera Centre and other BCHL rinks outfitted with up-to-date streaming video hardware. In addition to the regular season and playoffs, all 16 games at the inaugural BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack (Sep. 7 to 9) will be broadcast. The BCHL league office and its teams will take advantage of FASTHockey’s Content Editing and Syndication Suite, allowing the cutting and sharing of clips to their websites, blogs, and social media platforms.
sity having parted ways with Rick Nickelchok in early October. Olfert said he wants to bring a sense of stability to the program, and added he’ll take time to learn the culture at UFV as he develops a vision to move forward. “I’m not at all dissuaded by what’s been happening here,” he said. “I’m up for the challenge, I’m optimistic. “I really want to make this a flagship program
in Canada. I think there’s so many good student-athletes in the Fraser Valley, and we have some really good coaches in place. I’m trying to build on some of those successes in the past, but shore up some of our weaknesses and go forward.” Chris Bertram, the Cascades men’s golf coach who had been serving as interim athletic director, said the UFV athletic director job drew upwards of 40
applicants. “The important thing was, we wanted to make sure we got the right person,” he said, explaining the amount of time it took to settle on Olfert. “And we feel like we did. Olfert’s roots in the community run deep. He spent six seasons (2001-07) at CBC as assistant athletic director and women’s volleyball coach, before moving over to Trinity Western University to

serve as assistant AD. After one year at the Langley school, he returned to CBC to take over as athletic director and men’s volleyball coach. Olfert’s second stint with the Bearcats was a memorable one. In 2011, he guided the CBC men’s volleyballers to their first Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA) championship. In 2012, CBC hosted the men’s volleyball nationals
– another first for the program – with Olfert leading the organizing committee. While the Bearcats just missed the podium, finishing in fourth place, the event was deemed a success. Olfert feels he’s leaving the CBC athletic department on solid ground. “I’m quite confident with what’s in place there,” he said. “I’m really excited for some of their programs next year.”
