Special ed review leaves parents unimpressed
■ S CHOOL ’ S O UT
Interim report released Katie Bartel The Progress Chilliwack school district’s interim report on the special education review did not impress a group of parents who sat through last week’s board meeting. A survey that was mailed out last month to parents, teachers, educational assistants, support staff, and school administration with the intent of gaining input into the current system showed low responses from parents. Of the 1,200 mail outs to parents, only 285 were returned. When trustee Barry Neufeld indicated that maybe parents just didn’t have the vested interest to fill out the surveys, parent Tonya Padgett took offense. “Not only is that an insulting and biased comment, it’s untrue,” said Padgett. “I don’t come to these meetings for the fun of it, I come because I have a vested interest in all my children.” Special needs worker Tracey Barnett said the low number of parent responses was a fault of the school district. Of the nine families Barnett works with, eight received their surveys between May 23 and 24; they needed to be returned to the school district by May 28. One family didn’t receive a survey at all. As well, Barnett would have liked the district to have sought input from families who are now home schooling their special needs children because they felt the public school system failed them. “Without that information in the survey, you are not gaining a correct representation of what is happening in this district,” said Barnett. “You need to look outside the box to get a very true representation of what is happening.” Continued: SURVEY/ p4

Kent inmate made violent threats before attack: UCCO Robert Freeman The Progress Kent prison staff are lashing out at prison management after a female corrections officer was slashed across the face Saturday and will probably need plastic surgery. The Union of Canadian Correctional Officers posted a newsletter Monday claiming the inmate who slashed the officer had made direct threats against another officer 17 days earlier, and was in segregation at the time he promised to stab an offi-
cer in the face. “But what was management’s response to those threats? Release to the General Population where he was able to carry out his plan against the unsuspecting staff member,” the union newsletter charged. “We will not be victims of management and security intelligence failures to adequately deal with threats, intimidation and violence perpetrated by the inmates,” the union newsletter continued. “We deserve respect and to be more than faceless numbers
to what it seems is an inattentive local management.” A Kent spokesman did not return a call from The Progress for comment after issuing a news release Monday reporting the 2 p.m. assault. UCCO president Gord Robertson was also unavailable for an interview, but told The Progress in a voicemail late Monday that the officer is recovering “remarkably well” although she will probably need plastic surgery. The union claims its members have been warning of problems
and submitting detailed reports of threats to management “seemingly without any response or sanction against the inmates.” The prison news release said prison officials continue to “review the circumstances surrounding the incident and take action where necessary.” The Saturday attack reportedly follows an earlier attack on Thursday in which a male officer was stabbed in the chest, but he was wearing a protective vest that saved him from serious injury. rfreeman@theprogress.com

District eyes selling naming rights to offset costs Katie Bartel The Progress If G.W. Graham middle secondary is granted its wish of naming its sports field the GWG Rotary sports field, a precedent could be set. Last Tuesday, Chilliwack school trustees were presented a request from the school to rename the field after the local service club in an effort to offset the costs of the new football program. But the question trustees wrangled with: Do they want their
schools to be commercialized with outside advertising. If the school partners with the Chilliwack Rotary Club, the organization’s sponsorship would include $10,000 for the football program. In exchange, Rotary would receive naming rights of the field and signage. While schools and their separate facilities in Chilliwack have been named after influential leaders of the community – some of which include G.W. Graham, F.G. Leary, A.D. Rundle, McAstocker Theatre, and J.Y. Halcrow Gymnasium – no
facility has been named after a business, organization, or service club. Superintendent Michael Audet called it a “complex issue” as the school district does not currently have policy in place for advertising on school grounds. Trustee Barry Neufeld was in support of the sponsorship, believing it would encourage more students to become better social citizens and get involved with the different service clubs in Chilliwack. However, trustees Silvia Dyck and Walt Krahn were a little more
cautious. “Typically naming has been done for folks who have done great things for education,” said Dyck. “This needs a bigger conversation.” Krahn agreed, adding that it “behooves” the school district to have a well thought out policy in place. The request was referred to the board policy committee for consideration. What others are saying on Twitter:
“What’s next? Make all public officials & public employees wear McSuits to work and drive DoubleDouble-mobiles?” ~ @richardajabu “Should schools sell or give away naming rights? Slippery slope? What do you think?” @pattibacchus “I say keep private interest funding out of public realm...” @ NicoleBensonVan “If it means not exhausting my parent community for every nickle and dime to pay for tech upgrades, it’s worth a look.” @tech4ed88
Buskers bring talent to the streets Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack entertainers of all kinds are taking to the streets for the second season of the city’s busker program. Because of the exceptionally cool, wet spring, the buskers’ program is only really getting into gear now, said Carolyn Marleau, manager of Leisure Development, with the City of Chilliwack. “This year we’ve added some more downtown locations,” she said. One of the street entertainers you might meet is Ken Canuel with his energetic red heeler, Chili. He leads Chili through a range of tricks — just for fun. “I decided to do this because Chili likes making people happy and making them laugh,” said Canuel. Since his 53-pound dog is motivated to do tricks, he figured why not have fun creating a little performance out of it. “I’m always looking for something I can do with my dog, and this idea came to me as an activity for us to do together.” Organizers are now trying to get the word out to a broad swath of the community about the Street Entertainer/Buskers program, which kicked off in April and runs to the end of September. “These entertainers spend a lot of time working on their skills and talents with the hopes of being rewarded with donations. “So if citizens could kindly show their appreciation in this way, it would greatly assist the artists in their endeavours,” Marleau added.

Part of the rationale for setting up the busking program dovetails with the city’s commitment to the long-term revitalization of the downtown core, in concert with efforts by the Downtown Chilliwack BIA, Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce and the local merchants. Entertainers are screened by a selection review panel and they pay
$40 for a permit once approved. Once they’ve paid the fees, and shown ID, they can take up one of the spots for three hours and 45 minutes at a time. Buskers will be rotating through these locations from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week: ■ Salish Park on First Avenue ■ Central Park on Young Rd.
■ Clock Tower Plaza ■ Corner of Wellington and Mills ■ Corner of Mills and Victoria ■ In front of The Bookman ■ Across from the Clock Tower Busking will not be permitted during any Music & More or BIA events unless by special arrangement. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

time. It was morning show host Scott Riley’s idea as a way to celebrate the station’s 85th birthday, said Mike Hellinger, news director at Star FM. “What is more Chilliwack
than corn? “We’re looking for as many as possible to come down to the station and sign up for this.” The current record is 351 set last year. So they’re aim-
ing for 352 or higher, but they’d really like to wrangle at least 1000 on July 6, at the summer kickoff of Party in the Park. Preregister at the Star offices in advance to make

Downtown Chilliwack continues to be a crime hotspot, according to a monthly crime analysis by the Upper Fraser Valley RCMP. Seventeen property crimes were reported in the downtown area, which covers both sides of Young Road between Cheam Avenue and Henderson Avenue from June 11-24. The crimes included nine B&Es and eight thefts from vehicles. But police hope that busting three “crack houses” in the area will reduce the criminal element drawn by drug sales. “Typically, shutting down an establishment like (a crack house) will reduce crime in that area,” RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. Two distinct areas in south Chilliwack make up the second hotspot where thefts from vehicles are topping the list of property crimes. “That’s what we’re struggling with right now,” Wolbeck said. “The RCMP want to again remind the public to keep their vehicle doors locked, and leave valuables at home or out of view in the vehicle,” she said. Eighteen thefts from vehicles were reported in the hotspot that includes the industrial area around Old Continued: CRIME/ p16

The Chilliwack Progress is published by Black Press Group Ltd., every Tuesday and Thursday at 45860 Spadina Ave., Chilliwack. The Progress is a member of the Canadian Circulation’s Audit Board, Canadian Community Newspaper Association, British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspaper Association and B.C. Press Council.
To fight another day Summer holidays may be here, but the chill from this year’s protracted labour dispute between teachers and their employer still hangs in the air. Last week the two sides agreed to a tentative settlement. And while ballots from the ratification vote were still being counted when The Progress went to press, it seems likely it will succeed. So what’s been accomplished? Measured against their original bargaining position, teachers won’t be celebrating. They failed to secure the ambitious wage demands they were seeking, nor were they able to wrest control over class size and composition from school boards. Their biggest victory was a “modest improvement” in contract language, and the avoidance of a government-imposed settlement. That gain came with a cost, not just in public support, but support from some rank-and-file teachers who questioned their union’s aggressive demand for a wage increase that would never be accepted. The Liberals, meanwhile, were able to hold firm on their insistence on a “net-zero” contract settlement. That’s something that may underline their resolve as they negotiate

with the BCGEU, but the hard line has hardly captured the electorate. A recent Ipsos Reid poll puts the Liberals still 20 points behind the NDP in voter support. It’s in that disparity that some cynics see the real motive behind last week’s surprise settlement. The agreement was strategic, not tactical. Rather than achieve a framework for stability and growth, it delays the fight to another day. The contract, if signed, will expire in June of next year. And if the polls remain unchanged, that means the teacher’s federation will be negotiating its next contract with the more labour friendly NDP. That prospect will be something the Liberals will exploit in next year’s campaign. They’ll offer voters a choice: vote for the proven guardian of the public purse, or the potential lap dog to labour. Lost in all this, of course, will be the students and their parents. True, they’ve gained some measure of certainty for the next school year. But the matter is far from settled; the dysfunction that has plagued the education system for decades is only delayed, not dealt with. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Preserving the Paramount preserves rich history It was welcome news last week that the Heritage Canada Foundation included the Paramount Theatre in its 2012 Top 10 list of endangered places in Canada. The recognition of the heritage value of the property must surely focus attention on the building’s importance. That has to be rewarding for the Chilliwack Paramount Film Society whose members are dedicated to seeing it restored to its former glory and run vintage, independent, alternative, niche, or non-mainstream films. The Paramount Theatre in downtown Chilliwack is a treasured building of a post-war era. It had been in the planning stages for six years before it was built in 1949 and for six decades it was the centrepiece of entertainment until it closed permanently in November 2010. The owners Landmark Cinemas donated the property to the City

of Chilliwack but nothing has been decided on its future. When options of demolition surfaced, the Friends of the Paramount group organized in protest and now, as the Chilliwack Paramount Film Society, they have a business plan for restoration before the City. There is something magical about old buildings. Their unique aromas, the warn, Margaret shiny-smooth handrails, well EVANS trodden stairs creaking hauntingly of footsteps from the past, seats that have known the ghosts of thousands of patrons, and walls that echo with laughter and tears all tell stories of who we were and where our community came from. The Paramount opened just a year after the 1948 flood. Life was
likely still challenging but a movie theatre was a chance to escape, indulge, and get lost in a story. It was a place for families and friends to gather, relationships to start, a place to laugh, cry, and wonder together. So what would they have watched in the height of Hollywood’s golden years? Some luminary actors were on the screen back then and 1949 saw the release of Twelve O’Clock High (Gregory Peck), Sands of Iwo Jima (John Wayne), The Heiress (Olivia de Havilland), Little Women (Elizabeth Taylor), I was a Male War Bride (Cary Grant), all of them top-grossing films led by the #1 revenue generating film Sampson and Delilah (Hedy Lamarr and Victor Mature). The Barkleys of Broadway was also produced, notable because it was the last of 10 films starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Academy award winner for Best
Picture in 1949 was All the King’s Men (Broderick Crawford and John Ireland), which also took the Golden Globe Award. Then there was those lean, hungry, unknown actors getting their debut in film that year: Yule Brynner, Richard Burton, Tony Curtis, Dean Martin, and Jerry Lewis. You’ve got to love this stuff. The Heritage Canada Foundation’s recognition of the Paramount puts it in league with other Canadian structures imperilled for a variety of developmental or economic reasons. Included in the list are Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam, the Barron Building in downtown Calgary, the Ecole Connaught Community School in Regina, the Hamilton Education Centre, Ontario Place in Toronto, Bala Falls Cultural Landscape on Muskoka Lakes, Ontario, Eglise du Tres-Saint-Nom-deJesus church in Montreal, the

Gravel meeting leaves questions Re: FVRD residents give gravel mining plan a rocky ride (Chilliwack Progress, June 28) I attended the APP meeting and agree with the article with the exception that at least half of the attendees were concerned Chilliwack residents such as myself. As a 22 year resident, I love Chilliwack and the Chilliwack River Valley where I live in for many reasons, the natural beauty makes it a wonderful place to work, live and play and also attracts new residents who build businesses and bring their families. Of note to me were the questions asked by John Werring a scientist from Suzuki Foundation regarding any studies done on fish, wildlife and habitat impacts in the mapping process. Also Frank Kwak’s message from the BC Wildlife Federation opposing the APP due to fish and wildlife con-
cerns and the lack of any science based decision making. The answer by staff to questions raised by scientists such as John is that there were no science based consideration of fish, wildlife or habitat in any of the decision making in this process. Also, the green areas on the map located on gravel bars which typically are fish rearing and spawning habitat were identified as parks by staff, I have never seen a gravel bar as a designated park and am looking forward to further clarification on that question. I am truly appalled and saddened by the lack of proper process in the development of the APP. Folks, we live in the 21st century, even our big companies such as BC Hydro use the triple bottom line approach to decision making, taking into account, people, planet and profits. If you look at the timeline used, people (residents of these areas)
planet, (our fish, wildlife and habitat) were not factored in at all; residents have been writing in for years and none of their concerns were addressed, fish wildlife and our beautiful habitat that we all enjoy were not factored in. What appears to have been done was to meet with gravel aggregate companies (profit) behind closed doors and a crayon taken out drawing coloured lines identifying where the best places to mine for gravel and build gravel processing and asphalt plants would be. Glen Thompson had viable solutions which he presented which the FVRD should consider, if not I say shame, shame. We expect better from our elected officials who are tasked with representing us the citizens of the FVRD and we will be stepping up to ensure that we are considered in this critically important issue.

Air show practice nothing to complain about This past month at Signal Signs & Graphics has been fun, we got a job that was very important and needed to be done ASAP for Super Dave’s new plane. Almost every day Ray Firkus would come in and get us to make up some paint masks for the plane. Some days even Dave Mathieson himself would come in to check on progress. We didn’t quite know how well the painting was going until we heard him take off. Naturally, we all ran for the parking lot to get a better look. The
plane looked great. And throughout the next couple days he was up in the sky again, probably testing his plane, due to being disassembled for paint etc. Yesterday, my co-workers and I were invited by Ray Firkus to come down to his hangar and check out Super Dave’s plane. I agreed to check it out instantly. I’ve never been into planes, but knowing we helped out even a bit, in getting his plane ready in time for an air show out of town, it made me want to see the finished product even more.
As we were looking at the plane and talking with Ray, he mentioned that there had been people complaining about Dave testing his plane. All of us were shocked to hear about this. Dave has spent so much money getting his plane done in Chilliwack, not to mention, a hit at the air show. On a personal side, my kids at home will run out onto the deck to watch him, from take off, to landing, and they are let down when they hear any other plane take off because they don’t put on a show. How can this
be such an annoyance to people? When something is taken apart and put back together, it needs to be tested. Not to mention, he performs in air shows, maybe he is practicing (not that it looks like he needs it). I can think of much more annoying things, like someone mowing their lawn for instance. Depending on the size of the yard, they’re out there making noise for much longer than Dave is flying and putting on a free show.

Chilliwack home to the ‘super rich’ Chilliwack has its very own “one per center.” Yes, really. We’ve been hearing a lot about people at the top of the financial food chain. Turns out, Chilliwack happens to have its own super rich: the city manager, who took home over $231, 000 last year. According to a team of University of B.C. researchers, it takes a
$230,000, annual income to put a Canadian in the top one per cent of earners. The average income for the population as a whole (the 99-ers) is just $36,000. The most remarkable thing? This is a small town that was, unfortunately, rated as one of the worst places to live, by Money Sense, a national magazine.
As expected, our madam Mayor would have us believe that everything is honky-dory. Is there no accountability left here? Remember the old adage: By their fruits ye’ll know ‘em. There, I‘ve said my piece and will leave it for others to have their say. Lal Sharma, ph.d Chilliwack, BC

the timing for her ninth book, and the serendipity of history. “It looks so peaceful,” she says. “I can definitely imagine the power of the water.” That’s because in gathering material for Flood Warning, she had immersed herself in the place and time of the great flood of ‘48. She scrounged through archives and old news clippings. She went to Agassiz to talk to locals who went through the flood. She toured their farms and visited the town’s graveyard. She even learned about the popular radio hero of the time and confirmed The Lone Ranger had reached young listeners in the Valley. That particular attention to detail is a point of pride for Pearce, who’s also written fictional stories about artist Emily Carr’s childhood and the internment of Japanese-Canadians on Vancouver Island during WWII. And while only a minute portion of her research might make it into her books, it all helps her create a context that transports her

Pearce says there’s still valuable lessons for kids to learn from her book as they visit the rising river with their parents, or maybe watch news reports on television. “They can see how people work together to overcome adversity,” says Pearce. “Kids can feel they’re not alone, that they can help in big situations even in a little way.” To learn more about Jacqueline Pearce’s children’s books and where to find them, go to www. jacquelinepearce.ca
young readers back in time and right into her characters’ adventures. “You often don’t hear about the children’s stories in historical events, you just hear about the adults,” says Pearce, a Burnaby resident for the past 15 years. “Kids empathize and imagine themselves in all kinds of different situations. They’re excited to share their own similar experiences.” Though the current concern about the Fraser is unlikely to equal the devastation of 1948,

UFV seeks fashionistas Katie Bartel The Progress
Kevin Klassen (left) and Ron Romeyn have sized down their original store, Objekts, and moved to Mill Street where they added a small restaurant to create Harvest Store and Café. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Mastering the art of grilled cheese Katie Bartel The Progress Harvest Café had been open not even two weeks when I sat down for lunch at the place and it was already nearly packed – despite not advertising, not even announcing their opening. It was no surprise why when I took my first chomp out of their soon-to-be famed ‘Fancy Pants’ grilled cheese sandwich. But more on that later... When Ron Romeyn and Kevin Klassen closed their retail outlet, Objekts, for renovations last December, they had a secret roiling in their bellies. Five months later, that secret was finally revealed. The partners recently reopened on Mill Street as a store within a store. On the left, there’s Objekts. On the right, there’s Harvest Café – home of the Fancy Pants grilled cheese. “This has always been in the plan, we just didn’t know how it would unfold,” said Romeyn,
a trained baker, who was one of the founding members of Cupcakes in Vancouver, and who desperately wanted to get back into the baking realm. A trip to Manhattan, and a tour through the New York staple of ABC Carpet and Home – 10 floors of rugs, furniture, textiles, and food – had further instilled that dream. On a much smaller scale that is. “We came up with our own version; a modern take on the old trading posts,” said Klassen. The combined shop is a destination for home accessories, bathing products, kitchenware, jewelry, fashion and food – ohhh, the food. All baked products, except for the ciabatta and tortillas, are created by Romeyn who’s in the shop every morning at 4 a.m. immersed in flour, sugar, cinnamon and other such baking dusts. Their lunch menu is also full of warm-yourbelly, comfort foods – with a twist. “We broke our menu apart and built it back up as healthy as we could,” said Romeyn. They have tomato bocconcini sandwiches,

grilled vegetable sandwiches, soups, salads, and yes, that Fancy Pants grilled cheese too. Now, I must admit I am a grilled cheese connoisseur – grilled cheese snob, if you will – and nine times out of 10, no one makes a grilled cheese sammie better than my husband. But when I bit into that Fancy Pants, with its homebaked white bread (grilled cheese must always be on white) and its perfectly melted cheese oozing out every which way, I was in cheesy goodness heaven. One bite. Two bites. Ten bites later and I still had nearly half a sandwich to get through. I tried, oh man did I try, but for the life of me, my ever expanding belly would not accept another bite. I let go of the wonderfully fresh buttered bread, looked down at the sandwich with great sadness in my eyes, and with my head bowed in shame, I exited the café, with a promise in my heart: “I’ll be back dear Fancy Pants, oh yes I will, and you will be mine.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Vera Wang, Christian Louboutin, Kate Spade – they all started somewhere. And this summer, the University of the Fraser Valley is giving young fashionistas their chance to get a taste of the fashion industry. From July 9-13, the fashion design program will be hosting a fashion camp for youth between 14 and 18 interested in everything to do with fashion. Areas covered will include design, building story boards, sketching, creating fabrics, marketing and more. “We’ll be taking them through all the different facets of apparel design,” said Deanna Devitt, head of the UFV fashion design program. “We’re going to give them a little taste of everything.” Participants will experience life as a designer, while learning from industry professionals, and creating unique projects that can be put towards a fashion portfolio. But the camp’s not just geared for the fashion forward. “Because we’re offering so many different parts of the business, you might find an area, like marketing, that peaks your interest and becomes something you want to pursue,” said Devitt. “It’s not all about producing clothes, there’s textiles, blogging, website design. There’s all sorts of opportunities the fashion industry has to offer.” The camp is being run by five professors who have extensive experience in the fashion field; some of who are still working in the industry. It’s a chance to get answers about the industry from people with first-hand knowledge, said Devitt. “We want you to get an idea of what fashion is, what it takes to be a designer, and to see if this is something you might want to pursue.” The camp is being run out of the Abbotsford UFV campus from July 9-13 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Cost is $250.

Sketch of assault suspect released
ing dark coloured pants and a dark coloured long-sleeved shirt. A composite sketch of the man is now being released to the public with hopes he can be identified as a person of interest. “In these types of investigations the police rely on the public’s help,� says Cst. Tracy Wolbeck “This incident is very concerning to the police and we are hoping that the commu-
nity can assist us with identifying the man in the composite sketch to further our investigation.� It’s important to remember all composite sketches are an artistic interpretation made based on witness statements to produce a likeness of a suspect for identification, RCMP say. In this case there may be certain characteristics that may not exactly be the true likeness of the suspect involved in this case, but may be similar in nature. Anyone that can identify this man or has any other information is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).
~ For the record ~ Lea Ricketts did not use the word “racist� at a public meeting Tuesday on the proposed gravel mining plan at the Fraser Valley Regional District. The word was improperly attributed to Ricketts by the reporter, who apologizes to her and to Mayor Sharon Gaetz for the error.

Chilliwack RCMP have released the sketch of a man they believe responsible for the attack on a woman on Fairfield Island three weeks ago. A 46-year-old woman was jogging home along Hope River Road around at around 11 p.m. on June 6 when she was assaulted by an unknown man near the front entrance to Gwynne Vaughan Park. The woman fought back and the man ran away. The suspect is described as a caucasian man in his 30s with longer hair pushed to one side, and has facial hair with approximately one to two weeks growth. He had a slim to medium build and a mole or mark on the left side of his face. He was wear-

Fletcher faces test on Wisconsin whitewater Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Sam Fletcher’s rapid ascension in the canoe-racing world has been nothing short of astounding. How often, after all, does a 16-year-old race his first competitive whitewater slalom race in April, and get good enough to represent his country just three months later? “I did a lot of winter training that really helped me,” Fletcher said when asked about his meteoric rise. “The thing with my coach Jon (Allen), is he really pushes me. It’s just worked really good.” Really good seems like an understatement when you think about where Fletcher will be next week. Wausau, Wisconsin. Okay. Wausau, Wisconsin isn’t likely to knock anyone’s socks off. But it’s what’s happening in the town of 37,000-and-change that’s significant. The International Canoe Federation World Junior and U-23 Championships will draw more than 200 top athletes from a ton of countries. Fletcher will represent Canada in two events, the C1 and C2 races. He will be wearing
his country’s colours in international competition — the ultimate aim for many elite athletes. “It’s gonna be sick,” Fletcher said enthusiastically. The Sardis secondary school student earned his plane ticket with a strong performance at the Junior National Whitewater Team Selection race, held May 26-27 in Kananaskis, Alberta. Individually, he tore through four runs on the world-class course to qualify in C1. He teamed with Saskatoon’s Ben Lapointe to qualify in C2. “After Kananaskis, you could see the confidence in his paddling,” said Fletcher’s dad, Rob. “He’s very good technically, and once you get the technique down, the speed starts to come. Some days you can see the speed and some days the river still throws him for a loop.” This won’t be Fletcher’s first time on the Wausau course. He travelled to America’s dairy state last year for a prenational competition, where he competed in K1 kayak. “The course is really good, not too difficult but it’s got some big drops,” Fletcher said. “When the water is really pushy, it makes it more difficult to get

where you want to go. If the water is calm, it’s better, and this course is a bit more calm. It’s more fun than anything.” Fletcher, who trains with the Chilliwack Centre of Excellence, goes into the event with modest expectations.
Earning a spot in the qualifier race would make him happy. Anything beyond that is pure gravy. “I’m just going to try my best and race as good as I can,” Fletcher said. “Maybe get some good training in too. I Think I have a better
chance in C1 cause I’ve done it longer. But if we can get our rhythm down in C2, we might have a chance there too. But there are a lot of good athletes that’ll be there.” The Wausau event takes place July 11-15, though Fletcher will be
there well beforehand to train and familiarize himself with the course. Find event info online at http://www.canoeicf. com/icf/ ● Fletcher won’t be the only Chilliwackian competing in Wisconsin.
National Junior Team member Jazmyne DenHollander was preselected, which allowed her to skip Kananaskis qualifying. She will paddle in the K1 women’s race. Get local paddling info at http://ccekayak. tripod.com/
Chilliwack football hero gets unexpected surprise The best football player Chilliwack ever produced got a surprise at his 35th high school reunion Saturday night. Sardis secondary school grad Rick Klassen was presented with two framed jerseys recognizing a career that started with the Falcons and culminated with a Grey Cup championship in the Canadian Football League. The surprise was arranged by the Class of 77 and BC Lions vice president George Chayka, a close friend of Klassen’s. Klassen was captain
of the Falcons from 1973 through 1976, playing under coach John Tymoschuk. Tymoschuk has flown in from Florida to attend the event. Klassen spent his professional years wreaking havoc on the defensive line, but played running back and safety in high school. He graduated in 1977 and went on to Simon Fraser University. Klassen played for the Clansmen from 1977 through 1980, and was named an NAIA District All-Star at offensive guard.
He graduated with a business administration degree and embarked on a 10-year CFL career with the BC Lions and Saskatchewan Roughriders. Klassen spent the first seven years with the Lions, appearing in two Grey Cup finals. Klassen’s Lions lost to the Toronto Argonauts in 1983 in a game that was played at brand new BC Place Stadium. But the Lions claimed the title two years later with a win over the Hamilton TigerCats. After spending the 1988 season with
Saskatchewan, Klassen finished his career back home, spending the 1989 and 1990 seasons in BC. Klassen was named to the BC Lions 50 Year All-Time Dream Team in 2003. His name will go up on the BC Lions Wall of Fame when the team plays July 6 versus Hamilton. At the same time Klassen is presented with his framed jerseys, his high school will be presented with a framed series of photos commemorating his time in Chilliwack, at SFU and in the CFL.
Rick Klassen’s long football career started with the Sardis Falcons (left) before continuing on to SFU (right) and the CFL. SUBMITTED PHOTOS

COOMBES Leanne Ruth 1970 - 2012
It is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye to a loving wife, mother, daughter, sister, aunt and friend. On Wednesday, June 27th, 2012 at the Cascade Hospice in Chilliwack, Leanne Coombes peacefully passed away after a courageous 6 year battle with cancer. She was born on June 9, 1970 in New Westminster, BC, the third of three children. Known for her beautiful smile that could brighten your day or light up any room, Leanne’s heart overflowed with love for her family and friends. Her radiant personality and passion for life created many lasting friendships. Although Leanne had to face a challenging battle with cancer, she never allowed that difficult situation to affect her positive attitude and friendly approach to life. It was during this time that Leanne had an even bigger impact on the lives of people around her as she inspired others to face life with courage, compassion and thankfulness. Leanne is survived by her husband of 21 years, Brian Coombes. Their children Miranda and Carson were her passion and she poured herself into their lives in a way that will impact them forever. Part of her lives on in them. Also left to mourn her passing are her parents Mel and Carolyn Harris, her sister and best friend, Corinne Gehmlich (Kurt), and brother Darren Harris (Janine), in-laws Bill and Cherrie Coombes, sister in-law Charlene Coombes, and many other family and friends. A Service of Remembrance for Leanne will be held on Thursday, July 5th, 2:00 pm at Promontory Church Downtown, 9325 Main Street, Chilliwack BC. In lieu of flowers, remembrance donations may be made to the Chilliwack Hospice Society.
