Ty-Crop rezonings go through Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Zoning changes for the Ty-Crop expansion in Rosedale sailed through Tuesday night at Chilliwack city hall. It took about two hours to cycle through three separate public hearings and public commentary before a crowd of about 60 in council chambers. Neighbours complained about the lack of consultation by the long-time local company, as well as lack of trust, excessive noise, traffic concerns, and more. Some expressed fears the Ty-Crop expansion was already “changing the face” of Rosedale, that it had been “defaced” while another said it had “gotten out of hand.” One said Rosedale was “not a town anymore but an industrial park.” Rezoning and official community plan changes for five properties owned by Ty-Crop Investments were given second, and third readings, and final approval in a unanimous vote of Chilliwack council. “It will move us into the modern world,” said Ty-Crop co-owner Gary Teichrob, describing the expansion and modernization plan. The changes will mean “progress and improvements” for their operations, making things “quieter and greener” with new offices, parking space, equipment storage and sewage treatment plant. The owner wanted to clear up any confusion. “This has nothing to do with the agricultural property south of the railway tracks,” Teichrob said. “This is all north of the railway.” Some critics were already worried about proposals coming forth to remove land from the Agricultural Land Reserve. But that was not on the agenda Tuesday night. “Modern manufacturing facilities are built like this,” Teichrob said, referring to operations that will be brought indoors. “We will ultimately be in one building on one side of the road,” he said. “Finally it allows Ty-Crop it keep its headquarters in Rosedale,” the company rep said. “We believe these changes will make Rosedale an even Continued: TY-CROP/ p3

Elks converge for centennial in Chilliwack Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s the first time a national convention of Elks and Royal Purple has ever been held in Chilliwack — coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the Elks of Canada. “I feel very proud,” said Jerry Wernicke, national president of the Elks of Canada, who has carried the title of Grand Exalted Ruler for the past year. Anywhere from 500 to 600 Elks and Royal Purple members will be arriving in Chilliwack starting this weekend for the annual convention, July 24-26 at the Landing Sports Centre. The economic spinoffs could be considerable, Wernicke said. “It will bring recognition to Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley with

a lot of extra people in town to support local businesses.” Members of Chilliwack Elks lodge #48 are getting help to mount the convention event with folks from B.C. Elks Region #3 in Delta, White Rock, Cloverdale, Langley and Aldergrove. Part of the excitement is that the event could generate up to $100,000 for the Elks and Royal Purple Fund for Children, he said. The fund helps youth in need of medical care, with up to $5,000 in grants. Chilliwack won out over Red Deer, Alberta, in a bid to hold the event here, and part of the reason is that the organization started out in Vancouver back in September 1912, and it seemed a fitting tribute, he said. Visiting Elks will be golfing and visiting Minter Gardens before the official opening on Tuesday.

Wernicke is a 30-year member of the Elks, and spent the past seven years on the Grand Executive. He spent 40 years as a sailor and just retired from his role as chief engineer with Seaspan Marine of North Vancouver. “I’ve always been obligated to serve,” he said. “I enjoy volunteering and helping children.” His year as national leader has seen him personally raise $11,470 for the Children’s Fund by selling a pin with a stylized tugboat on it to honour his marine career. “I hope to bring it up to $12,000 during the convention,” he said. “My motto has been, ‘Sailing into the future with integrity and pride’ and I hope to impress this upon the membership after my term is over.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Aging oil pipeline is too risky, say critics Jeff Nagel Black Press Opponents of Kinder Morgan’s plan to twin its Trans Mountain pipeline through B.C. and load much more crude oil onto tankers say a scathing U.S. report on a 2010 spill there is a wake-up call on the risks the existing line poses. NDP politicians and B.C. environmental groups have seized on U.S. regulators’ findings in the spill at an oil pipeline owned by Enbridge Inc. into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River as grounds to terminate the company’s pro-

posed Northern Gateway pipeline to Kitimat. But Sheila Muxlow, a Chilliwack-based activist with the anti-twinnning Pipe Up Network, hopes Kalamazoo also galvanizes B.C. opposition to Kinder Morgan’s project. “The same risks that are raised with the transport of tar sands along an Enbridge pipeline exist for the Kinder Morgan pipeline and are even escalated because they’re using a 60-year-old pipeline,” she said. In Michigan, an aging pipeline burst and the U.S. National Transpor tation Safety Board blamed

Enbridge for a 17-hour delay in acting to contain the breach, which spilled 840,000 gallons of oil sands crude into the Kalamazoo River and triggered a $767-million cleanup. B.C. Premier Christy Clark, accused of fencesitting and failing to take a stand on Northern Gateway, called the Kalamazoo spill response “disgraceful” and pledged B.C. will intervene in National Energy Board hearings to raise its concerns with Enbridge’s $5.5-billion project there. Federal NDP leader Thomas Mulcair and B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix

both denounced Northern Gateway last week and called on Ottawa and the province to scrap it in light of the Kalamazoo report. Muxlow said Kinder Morgan’s plans have in comparison run under the radar, but added she expects equally vocal opposition to build. “There are major risks for all of us living along the pipeline – not just environmentally but economically as well.” Critics like Muxlow claim increased shipments of bitumen from the oil sands are raising the risk of a pipeline rupture because the

heavy crude is mixed with more corrosive diluent (a solvent) to help it flow. Muxlow said she’s disappointed Dix and the provincial NDP have yet to take a stand against the Trans Mountain expansion. “It is a little irresponsible,” she said. “This is a real issue. It’s happening right now – we’re all at risk. It would make sense for hopeful political parties to take a position.” Muxlow wants Kinder Morgan to scrap the $4-billion expansion pipeline and agree to limit the use of the existing pipe to light crude or refined petroleum.

She said the Pipe Up group represents concerned people from Hope to Langley, including farmers and other residents worried about potential impacts – including reduced property values – due to the pipeline corridor. Kinder Morgan spokesperson Lexa Hobenshield rejected suggestions the existing pipeline is unsafe. “Age doesn’t necessarily relate to the condition of the pipeline,” she said, adding the company has a “robust” pipeline integrity process in place.

TY-CROP from Front greater place. We love it and will work with our neighbours to accommodate that goal.” The fact that the zoning changes were effectively being made retroactively to bring some existing ones into compliance, was a source of annoyance for some in council chambers that night. OCP changes shifted the designation from residential to industrial, and were considered “housekeeping” to “correctly reflect current uses on the properties,” according to a staff report. One person requested a longer sidewalk from the school to the playground. Some were incensed about changes made on-site before they were officially approved council. Several were dismayed by the demolition of heritage houses, including Yale Road resident Roger Tweedle. “The village east of McGrath is being assaulted by demolition,” said Tweedle. Rosedale’s historic buildings are the basis of its character. “We can’t afford to lose a single one of them,” he said, displaying a photo of the Mercer House, which has been on that spot since 1900. Most area residents who spoke were unconvinced of the positive aspects. One speaker said he didn’t see anything “good” for Rosedale to come of it. “I didn’t purchase my home to live in a commercial/industrial zone. I moved to Rosedale because of the mountain views. It’s changing rapidly.” One resident said his “quality of life” was “shot” after being awoken every day at 1:30 a.m. by truck traffic. “So I have a lot of anger,” he said. A sewage treatment plant was not just “proposed,” said McGrath resident Susan Payne, it was already put in place. “I don’t feel any of the bylaws have been followed,” she added, saying Ty-Crop may have put the “cart before the horse,” in terms of creating additional parking space before the rezoning was approved.

Scott Mason, one of three Ty-Crop owners present at the meeting, said although the company could not have disclosed its plans earlier, until the expansion plans were “firm,” he said they are “always there to talk to neighbours.” “Did we disclose all the way? No we didn’t, not until our plans were firm.” He said Ty-Crop reps feel “badly” that some people feel they are “changing the culture” of Rosedale for the worse. “Down the road I hope people will agree it’s a better community than it is today,” he said. Coun. Jason Lum said “change is inevitable,” after the vote, but voiced a desire for the owners and neighbours to continue to talk out any issues. “I think this plan is supportable,” he said, adding that a move out of Chilliwack for

Ty-Crop, with the risk of losing 300 jobs, was not one he wanted council to take. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said she agreed with her fellow council members that it wasn’t easy to pick up and move an established industrial operation. “Frankly I’m glad you’re staying in Rosedale,” she said to Ty-Crop officials. “You’re part of the fabric in Rosedale.” But she also had a few words of advice. “The people who came out had strong things to say about the process,” Gaetz said. “You learned along the way.” But from here on in, the “eyes” of Rosedale will be on Ty-Crop, and they will remain vigilant, “to ensure all the zoning bylaws and all the rules will be followed to the letter of the law,” she said.

Chilliwack-Hope MLA Gwen O’Mahony has been named the NDP’s skills training critic, an issue that she campaigned on during the April byelection. NDP Leader Adrian Dix announced O’Mahony’s appointment Wednesday along with MLA Joe Trasolini who won the byelection for the NDP in Port Moody-Coquitlam. Most NDP MLAs will see no change in their roles, Dix said, but he wanted to make changes that will give O’Mahony and Trasolini “roles in making the case for change” in the next provincial election. He said O’Mahony “campaigned on skills training in the Chilliwack-Hope byelection, and this issue will be a key element in our approach to the economy.” He said Trasolini, given his business background, will have “a key role ... in our dialogue with the business community on growing investment in the province.” The other announced changes are: Shane Simpson becomes labour critic; Raj Chouhan takes on multiculturalism, immigration and human rights; Doug Donaldson becomes mining critic; Maurine Karagianis takes on the Liquor Distribution Branch; Spencer Chandra Herbert adds the BC Lottery Corporation to his duties as tourism critic; Mable Elmore takes on the ICBC and deputy critic for finance; Doug Routley adds deputy health critic to his duties as critic for citizens’ services; and Sue Hammell becomes critic for women’s issues, child care and early leaning. Dix said the party is taking a “positive” approach to politics aimed at “re-engaging” the 1.7 million eligible voters who did not vote in the last election. B.C. voters go to the polls next on May 14, 2013.

two attacks are related. “It’s an avenue we’ll consider, but it’s too early in the investigation to link them in any way,” RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said Wednesday.

A decision to cancel question period at Cultus Lake Park Board meetings is not sitting well with locals. Park Board commissioners voted 4:3 at a recent meeting against a motion to reconsider the suspension of public question period, according to residents at the meeting. It’s evidence of a board divided on this matter, said resident Gary Lister. Even Cultus Lake Community Association asked the board to reinstate question period. “This is a sign that quite a few people are not happy with the board’s in-camera decision,” said Lister. The controversial decision to cancel the public question part of the meetings, was made by the board at an in-camera meeting on June 27, which means the public is not privy to the details of why, and commissioners are not at liberty to discuss it, until it’s been “declassified,” according to Park Board CAO Ron Campbell. Lister sees a number of thorny issues arising from the move. Not the least of which is the board may be in breach of their bylaws for cancelling it. What it also means is that “there is no recourse for the residents of Cultus Lake to hold Chilliwack elected commissioners accountable for their behaviour.” Increasingly Lakers

important that in written communication and public comments that respect and integrity is at the forefront.’ Lister said the cancellation decision just makes things worse. “If they have a problem with how the public is responding to them then they need to deal with that issue. Shutting done question period is not the answer.”

“I know other Lakers have done the same. I heard back from Commissioner (Carleton) Toews, who responded in part: ‘The CLPB made a decision that our community needs to be respectful and considerate. ‘The vast majority of the community of Cultus Lake and Chilliwack support the CLPB and CL Staff. CLP has a gifted staff team and CAO. ‘It is

want answers. “Many members of the public want question period and view it as way that their voice can be heard,” said Rick Williamson, a resident and retired accountant, who has been ver y critical of the park board’s past financial reporting procedures. He edits an e-mailed newsletter sent out to lake residents who want his take on a range of Cultus Park Board issues. The board also decided to write a letter to residents or leaseholders explaining its rationale for the decision, but it has not been made public, and it’s not clear if it’s been released. “Cancellation raises the obvious questions: What are they afraid of and what are they trying hide?” Williamson asked. “If the Board truly wants to be open and transparent with the public that they were elected to serve, they should immediately re-instate question period.” Commissioners who voted against the motion to reconsider the decision to cancel question period included Owen Skonberg, Charlotte Hall, Sacha Peter and Carlton Toews. Williamson said he requested an explanation from the board for the move.

R AESIDE

Monster apples create concern Apples have a long-standing reputation as a healthy food. An apple a day keeps the doctor away, as Benjamin Franklin is said to have put it. But the Frankenstein complex has an equally long, if not longer history. That’s the nickname given to the fear that man’s messing around with the building blocks of life will eventually create something that will destroy humanity. Bring the two together and you’ve got a problem. It’s hard to blame the B.C. Fruit Growers for their concern that the introduction of a genetically modified apple could ruin the reputation of the Okanagan as a source of high-quality, healthy fruit. And while Neal Carter, whose company has used gene modification to create a non-browning apple, certainly has his eye on the commercial return while extolling the benefits of his Arctic apples, there is one benefit that stands out. And, coincidentally, it’s the same as what made the apple’s reputation. Most people don’t care about a little browning, but it is also indicative of a breakdown of the apple’s nutritional factors. Take away the browning, and the vitamins and antioxidants stay. So, on one hand, we have growers wanting to preserve the reputation of their product as a healthy food and on the other we have an apple that retains its nutritional value for longer. Anyone see some common ground here? Consider too that growers have been practising genetic modification for centuries, albeit by the much slower selection and grafting methods. Caution is a good thing, especially when it comes to monkeying with genes. Extensive testing, too, is a good thing. But allowing caution to grow into an unreasoning fear is never a good thing. If turning off an enzyme can preserve the best aspects of an apple, it shouldn’t be thrown away on account of ancient fear. ~ Black Press

Hitting the roads guided by DriveBC VICTORIA – By the time you read this I should be in Vanderhoof, the geographical centre of B.C., to visit relatives. Born in the Okanagan, raised in the Peace country and working for 20 years in Metro Vancouver, I’ve driven from one end of the province to the other more times than I can count. A similar trip last year began just as a huge mudslide was cleared near Chilliwack. Other drives have featured mid-summer hail piled 10 centimetres deep on the Coquihalla, a near miss between two moose in the Pine Pass, plus the usual blizzards and hundreds of traffic jams for construction, accidents and growing urban volume delays. This time I’ve got a new tool on board, the mobile version of DriveBC.ca on my BlackBerry. Launched two years, ago, the

mobile site has taken off with the surging popularity of smartphones. In the past year, DriveBC’s online traffic averaged 1.2 million visits a month, about half to the five-year-old desktop site and half from mobile users. It’s by far the most popular B.C. government website. I asked DriveBC technical leader Tom Nainesh Agarwal FLETCHER for these stats, and he said even he was surprised by the surge in mobile traffic in recent months. But trying out the mobile site, it’s easy to see the appeal. With a few clicks, the phone displays incident reports and web camera images for my chosen

route. Webcams have been added steadily all over the province, and now watch 18 key locations on Vancouver Island, 93 in the Lower Mainland, 73 in the Southern Interior, 35 in the North and 13 at Canada-U.S. border crossings. At a glance, you can check anything from the traffic at the Lions Gate Bridge to the lineup for the Skidegate ferry on Haida Gwaii. Most pictures update every two minutes, offering a real-time look at traffic, weather and road conditions. A recent addition is “replay the day,” which shows the last 24 hours of pictures in a few seconds. Another new feature is an email alert that can be customized. You can subscribe to a particular region or highway and receive notices as soon as they are posted to the DriveBC network. And of course there is an @drivebc Twitter feed, where between 6:30 a.m. and

midnight, staff update conditions and respond to inquiries. (Major events are automatically tweeted overnight.) Verified reports are fed from highways staff and contractors all over the province and co-ordinated through the provincial highways condition centre in the Lower Mainland. It’s become a primary source of information for radio and TV traffic and news reporters around B.C. The mobile service now has an option for drivers to report new problems they encounter. After determining your smartphone’s location, the site displays the name and phone number of the local maintenance contractor who can take the report. For those who haven’t joined the smartphone era, there is an oldfashioned option. Dialing 5-1-1 anywhere in the province gives access

to a toll-free line that connects to recorded DriveBC messages. Agarwal said use of that service has been declining as phones with web access become more popular. The 5-1-1 service also requires you to use the keypad to select your route from a numerical list, so drivers would have to pull over rather than breach the new restrictions on using handheld devices while driving. The 5-1-1 system still gets surges of heavy use during major events like the recent flooding. The plan is to upgrade the system to allow voice recognition, so drivers can use headsets to get updates on the move.

Transit worse than before You have got to be kidding me! I did not think it was possible to take a dinosaur, archaic, dysfunctional transit system that may have worked 20 years ago, but has been a nightmare for long suffering bus users for at least the past 12-15 years and make it worse — but you did. What were you people thinking when you came up with this disastrous plan which now makes it harder than ever for people to get anywhere? The only thing I can think of is ridership will go down because, as always, the system does not work and then maybe those of us who have to rely on public transportation will just keep walking or stay home and then City Council can say we do not need any more buses because not enough people are using them. Then, to put the icing on the cake, I read several articles in both our local papers just prior to the implementation of this fiasco complimenting our council for bringing big city transit improvements and patting themselves on the back for the wonderful job they have done. Gee, thanks! Bravo to Owen Delane for his excellent letter ‘Bus service changes blasted’ in the Chilliwack Progress on July 10. He was bang on in his comments and I have just a few more to add. First of all, please look at the new bus schedule. The No. 4 bus

states a bus connection at Tyson and “Wandson” — I do believe they mean Tyson and Watson as I live in this area, but to a newcomer or tourist they are going to have a heck of a time trying to find “Wandson.” Does anyone check these things before they go out? Secondly, there are several fake bus stops all over Chilliwack and Sardis that buses have not stopped at since I moved here 12 and a half years ago. My daughter and I learned this the hard way by waiting at many of them in truly horrific weather conditions only to be told by bus drivers that buses haven’t stopped there for years. I called the Chilliwack Transit System years ago to inquire why all these bus stops that were not really bus stops were not removed. I was informed it was up to the City of Chilliwack to do that and it simply had not been done. That’s not very nice for the people left stranded. Next, I want to comment on the ludicrous statement I read in the local paper that 70 per cent of the people in Chilliwack live within five minutes of Vedder and Yale Roads. Perhaps, if they own a car, but for the vast majority of people I know it is a very long walk in the blazing heat or freezing cold or on snow and ice-covered sidewalks. Carrying loads of groceries or whatever

just adds to the fun. Many of us (I feel like the great unwashed) who have to rely on transit do not qualify for Taxi-Savers and cannot afford a cab every time we need to go out. To say they have increased the hours on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights is, as Mr. Delane clearly pointed out in his letter, totally false as this has been the situation for years. Finally, there is still no bus service on holidays — we bus people don’t need to do anything anyway. I hope before I die this town will actually bring in an express bus or preferably light rail to Abbotsford, Langley, Surrey and Vancouver so we can get out of town, get our chores done and maybe even have some fun. I have come to the conclusion I can get nowhere fast or easily so I may as well forget about it. I can only hope that kind friends and neighbours might help me out once in awhile but that means more cars on the road and being an annoyance, doesn’t it? I cannot give City Council a pat on the back for this transit mess but my heart goes out to all my fellow bus riders who were hoping for vast improvements that would make our lives a little easier only to find sheer disappointment and anger at the lack of consideration afforded us.

Would love to see Paramount Theatre conserved I’m so sad to say that the Paramount Theatre has little chance of survival. It’s all to do with money - as usual, someone wants to pay as little as possible. The owner of the adjacent building has offered to tear down the theatre for the city. Why? The cost and engineering headache is significantly less to tear down both. Consider the ease of smashing both rather than

having to be careful with the Paramount right next door. The owner who damages an adjacent property is liable for those damages. The accounting is elementary but the logistics of having to careful is much more advanced. I really hope enough people realize what’s being thrown away and why. Love to see the Paramount Theatre conserved, Wendy Power

A company with great service that isn’t just after money My mother Anne Unger, 92 years, was having trouble with the hearing aids supplied by company X. She didn’t get satisfaction to say the least after a year and a half. Money lost. The hearing aids cost is between $4,000 and $5,000. I brought her to Connect Hearing on Mary Street in Chilliwack where she was treated with professional and personal respect with a friendly and caring

attitude by Linda Reavie. My mother passed away about three months later. Six months after the purchase of the hearing aids I brought them back so that someone without funds could use them. I was told that had I brought them in within three months I would have received a refund. Shortly after, I received a phone call that a full refund would be

issued even though I was well over the three-month limit. Wow! First the great service that Linda Reavie had given, then a company that isn’t just after money. I would recommend Connect Hearing and commend them for their actions. A company that has a sense of pride and deserves respect. A quality that is not common today. Bob Unger, Chilliwack

Katie Bartel The Progress While some may think Rotary is just for old people, it’s not. And nothing speaks to that more clearly than the new Interact Rotary Club starting up in Chilliwack. The Interact Club, which is a partnership between Chilliwack Rotary and YMCA, is a service club geared for youth between the ages of 12 and 18 that promotes leadership and community involvement. And unlike schoolbased leadership programs, there is no limit on membership, no selection process, and no criteria beyond age. “It’s open to anybody,” said Sharon Blaker, member of Chilliwack Rotary. There are currently 11,000 such clubs worldwide with over 250,000 youth involved. Blaker believes it’s high time Chilliwack had such a club. Every year the club will be responsible for one community project and one international project. It will be mentored by Rotary and Rotaract members, but will have its own president, secretary-treasurer, board, bank account and committees. “They’re going to be self-governing and financially independent,” said Blaker. “They’re going to be the ones setting up the structure and making the decisions for their club. They’re going to learn how to lead and run an organization.” Something she believes will not only benefit the youth

Secondary players present Sound of Music Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The hills around Chilliwack are about to echo with The Sound of Music. The classic Rodgers and Hammerstein musical is being presented by Secondary Characters, July 18-29 at the UFV Chilliwack Theatre. What’s so rich about The Sound of Music is that it’s based on a true story, says director Randy Newbury, who will also play the role of materialistic uncle Max. “Of course it’s about the wonderful music, and many say it’s their favourite of all time,” he said. Except there are some younger audience members who’ve potentially never seen the Sound of Music. It follows the Von Trapp family on the cusp of Nazi occupation of Austria, all the way to their triumphant trek to freedom in Switzerland. An information display will be in the theatre lobby to provide some historical context. “That makes it an educational experience as well as entertainment.” The well-loved songs stand up through the years: “Do-Re-Mi”, “My

Favourite Things” and “Edelweiss” will be performed by a huge cast of children and adults alike, from Chilliwack to Surrey, with a live orchestra. The youngest player is only five years old. “The kids are extremely talented. They’re giving it their

all. I’m so amazed at the level of talent coming out of this community,” the director gushes. Theatre has been a thriving artistic concern here for a long time, he said, and Chilliwack is “teeming” with theatrical and musical talent.

“When you get to work with so many eager new people wanting to see shows done so well, it makes you want to do even better,” he said. The way the story of the Sound of Music goes, when a “postulant,” which is someone awaiting entry to a

religious order, proves too high-spirited, she is sent to be the governess of seven children, the beloved family of a widowed naval captain. Maria’s rapport with the kids, along with her generous spirit, captures the heart of the stern captain, and they marry.

Leading the cast is experienced Chilliwack duo of Caroline Davies as postulant Maria Rainer and Darren Guenther portraying Captain von Trapp. Joining them are Sarah Benjamins as the Mother Abbess, Randy Newbury as Max Detweiler, Steffi

Munshaw as Elsa Schraeder, and Ben Buckingham as Rolf Gruber. The von Trapp children are played by Katie Allinger (Liesl) Connor Ferris (Friedrich) Darby and Jackson Howard (Louisa and Kurt) Sydney and Maya Dombowsky (Brigitta and Marta) and Eden Wedel (Gretl). Choreographer Shelley Wojcik and music director Nicola Davies, who leads a nine-piece live orchestra. Costumes are designed by Mari Spani and Chrystal Romano, props by Alyson Seale, and lighting by Gabriel Kirkley. The Sound of Music July 18-21, 25-28 at 7:30 p.m. July 22, 28, 29 at 2 p.m., with all performances at the UFV Chilliwack Theatre. Tickets $20 Adults, $15 Student/Senior. July 18 and 19 are Preview Nights: all tickets $12. July 25 is the Sing-ALong; join the cast for all your favourites! All tickets are $15 Tickets at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre: in person 9:305:00, 604-791-SHOW (7469), online at www. chilliwackculturalcentre. ca.

Home&Garden

My other favourite yellow perennial is a rudbeckia called ‘Goldsturm’. This European introduction is just out of this world! It’s hardy, relatively short (about 24 inches tall), and its large, single, yellow daisy-like flowers Brian just keep on blooming MINTER right up until November. ‘Goldsturm’ is such an improvement over the other varieties - they’re not even in the same league! Today there are shorter versions of ‘Goldsturm’, like ‘City Garden’ and ‘Viette’s Little Suzy‘. Rudbeckia ‘Early Bird Gold’ starts earlier and is now in full bloom. A very vigorous and tall growing variety, called R. ‘Herbstonne’ is also truly amazing. Stretching up to six feet in height, this late summer giant creates an amazing display of colour from July to October. We have one at the entrance to our home, and it is spectacular. Not to be outdone, annual rudbeckias really steal the show at this time of year. The low, larger flowered ‘Becky’ and smaller flowered ‘Toto’ series perform magnificently in our hot weather. For taller, more background plants, the ‘Hirta’ series, like the award winning ‘Prairie Sun’ and ‘Denver Daisy’, do the job nicely. Helleniums truly provide some of the richest summer colours from bronze to burgundy, as well as terrific bicolours. There are many varieties, but H. ‘Sahin’ is a gold bronze bicolour that just never quits.

Shasta daisies are not the same old boring whites. There is a whole new range of cream, yellow, ruffled and feathered blooms in all sizes that add so much to our summer gardens. Echinaceas are also now in full bloom, and all the new colours from vibrant orange and golden yellow to white and hot pink provide a lasting perennial display. They also attract butterflies and honeybees. Phlox paniculata is an old standby for summer colour, but with all the newer, more disease resistant and more compact varieties, the selection is amazing. The pinks, whites, reds and lavenders really make a summer garden pop! Some other excellent late summer blooming perennials not to be forgotten are the pink-lavender blooms of Joe-pye Weed (Eupatorium ‘Atropurpureum); the white, fragrant flowers of all the cimicifuga; and some of the new heliopsis varieties that make wonderful backdrops for perennial borders. Bee balm or monarda is truly amazing with its wonderfully fluffy vibrant coloured blooms that attract honeybees and butterflies. New more compact varieties that bloom far longer are a great addition to our summer colour. In spite of the weather we may experience from year to year and how it impacts on our annuals, these perennials, and many more like them, are the workhorses of any garden and will add wonderful colour to a late summer garden.

he rather late, wet start to spring this year and the recent hot, dry spell has taken its toll on many of our annuals. Some varieties are starting to look somewhat hard, instead of being soft and vegetative, and many annuals have stopped growing. Heat and water stress are the major causes of this hardness. Unfortunately, these stressed-out annuals can leave your garden looking a little blah at this time of year, which may be awkward when we have so many friends and relatives visiting. Late flowering summer annuals and perennials, however, can give your garden some needed colour. As I was walking through our gardens the other day, I couldn’t help but notice how a few very special plants were doing more than their share to keep the colour going. Yellow is always an important colour to give a lift to late summer gardens, and two excellent perennials immediately come to mind. The longest and strongest flowering variety has got to be the lacy leafed Coreopsis verticulata ‘Zagreb’. Its cousin, the softer yellow C. ‘Moonbeam’, is also a non-stop flowering, more spreading variety. Both always look good without any care or attention and defy the concept of perennials needing a lot of work. The single most powerful perennial geranium today is called ‘Rozanne’. It’s a beautiful blue colour with large flowers that just don’t quit. Blue is a harder colour to find in our gardens and it’s an invaluable colour to add to the mix in warm summer gardens.

Strickland shares spotlight in synchro swimming

The 2012 BC Summer Games start tomorrow in Surrey, with athletic events going through the weekend.

Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Eleven practises. That’s all they have to get a rather complicated synchronized swimming routine together. A blink of the eye, really, when you’re trying to get eight girls to swim in unison. Less than the blink of an eye when you’re Olivia Strickland — when all you’ve done up till now is solos and duets, and you’re just meeting your 2012 BC Summer Games teammates for the very first time. Eleven practises for the soon-to-be 12-yearold to get things right as she tackles the biggest challenge of her young athletic career. No complaints though. There’s nothing going on that she can’t handle. June. 11 is the first practice, the first chance for the Chilliwack girl to get a read on her teammates. She likes what she sees. They’re a fun group. Stephanie Hughes, from Surrey, is the class cut-up. There could be a funeral going on, and Hughes would be ready with a line that would have the room in stitches. Rose MacKenzie, also from Surrey, is the

one keeping them all in line. She’s a perfectionist who demands perfection from her teammates. Sometimes, that leads to a five minute dissertation on how to properly execute a split. But that’s OK, because you want teammates who care. If MacKenzie pushes Olivia and her teammates to be just a little bit better, it might be the difference between medal or no medal. Each of the girls has their own thing, their own quirk, that makes them unique. Outside the pool, that’s great. Inside the pool, they spend the next six weeks (two times per week) figuring out how to function as one. They do so to the music of Agent J, Bagger Vance and Oscar from Shark Tale. Will Smith supplies the soundtrack as the girls work through their elements, starting with Switch before rolling into Men in Black, Getting Jiggy Wit It and the theme from Fresh Prince of Bel Air. When it’s time to get into the pool, Olivia isn’t nervous. Ever. Her mom, Christina, watches her before her solo and duet routines and swears its true. Before getting into the pool, this kid is a mask of calm, completely blind to distractions. Olivia could give focus lessons to the Dalai Lama. Ice water runs through her veins from start to finish. From two-and-a-half to four minutes (depending on the competition), all she hears is the music and her thoughts. “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Surface! Pull into pike. Swirly! Crane!

With little time to breathe in synchronized swimming, Chilliwack’s Olivia Strickland, a 2012 BC Summer Games athlete, must take big breaths of air whenever she’s got the chance. ONSITE PHOTOGRAPHY

Swirly! Swirly! Swirly! Inverted tuck. Knee tuck. Boost!” All of that, just to get through the first figure. Normally, Olivia gets to wear goggles as she swims. No such luck at the BC Summer Games, so she trains as she will compete. With goggles she sees clearly. Without, it’s all a blur. A legible blur, mind you. She can tell that Rose is over here and Maria Goncharova (Surrey) is over there. But high definition TV it is not. Olivia’s first priority is taking care of herself. In that frantic gaggle of flailing arms and legs, the only thing she has direct control over is how well she does — whether she executes her movements as she is supposed to do.

She almost always does. At times Olivia will spend anywhere from 20 to 30 seconds under water, but she’s far too busy to worry about that small matter of breathing. She’ll surface, grab as much air as she can, and head back down for the next figure. Synchronized swimming is not for the aquaphobic. Olivia gets tired down there. Going a half minute without oxygen will do that to a person. But she doesn’t let up. She can’t. In solo, Olivia’s failures and successes are her own, with no one else to credit or blame. At the BC Summer Games, Rose MacKenzie’s fate may rest on something Olivia does or doesn’t do. Olivia’s fate depends on the performance of

Rose, Stephanie, Maria, Erin Nichols, Courtney Armstrong, Jessica Friesen and Lani-Marie Carbonel. Together they swim. Divided they sink. At one of their final practices, the team looks like they’re ready to swim. They walk out onto the swim deck, flashing ear-to-ear smiles at an imaginary panel of judges. They hop into the pool and they’re off, looking more cohesive than they’ve ever been. They’re through one figure, then the next, and the next and the next. The music stops. They swim to the side and their coaches, Tina Naveri and assistant Tanya Magee, ask them to grade themselves on a 1-10 scale. Most of the girls give it a seven and the coaches agree. Not perfect, with plenty of room for tin-

kering and tuning. But the girls, many of them strangers just six weeks ago, finally feel like they’re ready. On July 21 at 1:50 p.m., they’ll do this in front of a few hundred people at the Surrey Sport and Leisure Centre. The place will be buzzing, with several events running at the same time. Olivia’s not likely to notice. The pandemonium around her, the whistles and shouts and cheers, will all fade away. Just her and the water. Six weeks and 11 practises all leading up to four minutes. And at the end? Relief. Happiness. And a medal would be really nice. ● Chilliwack is sending several athletes, coaches and officials to the BC Summer Games.

Ryan Higuichi, Tasha Willing and Dylan McCrindle are competing in athletics (track and field). Devyn Heggs, Colin Kellington, Parker Logan, Donovan Moorman and Tony Pharand are competing in baseball. Finley Capstick and Rhys and Isabel Taylor are competing in canoe/ kayak. Mark Harrison is competing in boys volleyball. Catherine Armitage and Barb Schmidt are officials in equestrian and Ray Flynn is an official in golf. Steven Scurr and Connor McClellan will be competing in golf and Kaitie Smith will be involved in girls rugby. Patrick Harkness is an official in boys soccer.

Offensive explosion Chilliwack’s bantam AA baseball Cougars are 3-1 to start the summer season. The Cougars bounced the Vancouver Yankees and Newton Canadians last weekend. In Saturday’s game against the Yankees, Chilliwack got homeruns from Tony Pharand, Josh Anderson and Devyn Heggs, and led 15-7 through seven innings. Liam Campbell went four-for-four with two doubles. Vancouver scored six in the bottom of the seventh to make the final close, but the Cougars held on. On Sunday, Chilliwack led 12-0 after three innings and cruised to a 19-2 final. Heggs and Anderson each hit grand-slams to lead the offensive onslaught.

Cross-training tactics After nine months on the ice, I want them to get outside and away from the rink, writes Paul Nicolls The Chilliwack Chiefs are done for the season, but assistant coach Paul Nicolls remains very busy. In his latest bi-weekly column, the Xceed Training owner/operator talks about the potential benefits of cross-training. Cross-training refers to a regimen involving several different forms of exercise. It’s a great way to condition different muscle groups, develop new skill sets and reduce the boredom that can creep in after months of doing the same types of exercise. For an athlete to excel it is necessary for them to train specifically for their sport, but rather than continuing to improve, you may simply be maintaining a certain level of fitness. Including cross-training is an excellent way to maintain a high level of overall fitness. You may opt to use both biking and swimming each week to improve overall aerobic capacity, build muscle strength and reduce the chance of injury from overuse. Cross-training can limit the stress that occurs on a specific muscle group because different activities use muscles in slightly different ways. The types of cross training I encourage for the Chilliwack Chiefs players in the off-season includes road or mountain biking, jogging, hiking and swimming. After nine consecutive months on the ice I want them to get outside and away from the rink. They will cross-train from 30 to 90 minutes a day, three times a week, for the first three weeks. Each week includes an increase in intensity or duration, or both. For the next three weeks I advise the players to include bike and running sprints, as well as plyometrics, stair runs, slide board, inline skating, and agility work. At this point, we begin to decrease the crosstraining component and add in more hockey-specific exercises and metabolic activities. Sprints range from short (100 metres or 30 seconds) to long (800m or two minutes). As well, the overall time spent exercising with their heart rate elevated must be accounted for. I want them to get their heart rate up to a maximum of 180 beats per minute (bpm) on the sprints, and get it back to 125 bpm before the next sprint (this number varies based on fitness levels). There is generally a 4:1 rest-to-work ratio. We want their HR to be above 125 for 30-40 minutes, three or four times per week. In the final three weeks we progress more into hockey-specific exercises including sprints on the ice or grass, and the slide board. But we continue to do stairs, plyos, and the stationary bike. At this point, the intensity level is very high. The overall time their HR is at its maximum is from 30 to 90 minutes. Depending on the day, the rest-to-work ratio is now 3:1 or 2:1. We do these exercises so that the rest-to-work ratio is metabolically similar to hockey line changes (go hard for 30-45 seconds, then rest for 60-120 seconds). Exercises at this point are done three to four times per week. With cross training, you can do one or more forms of exercise each day. You can change the order in which you do them. You can adjust cross-training to your needs and interests; mix and match your sports and change your routine on a regular basis. Exercise can strengthen the cardiovascular system, bones, muscles, joints, reduce body fat, and improve flexibility, balance and coordination. However, if you want to see ALL of these benefits, you’ll need to cross train. You could start today.

They beat Langley and Abbotsford to claim the District title, then beat the Langley Extreme on Canada Day weekend to claim the Lower Mainland Cup.

Mosquito might Chilliwack’s mosquito baseball Cougars travelled to Pitt Meadows on July 7 for the Rup Dog Mini Mosquito tournament. Thanks to great pitching and timely hitting, the team of nineyear-old boys and girls ran the table to take top spot. Chilliwack knocked off previously unbeaten Kamloops in the finals. The Cougars also enjoyed success in the skills competition. Landen Gourlie was tops in the pop-fly event. Kennedy Hall, Kalen Reemeyer, Clay Kurtz and Mitchell Middlemiss blew away their competition in the running race.

2013 MAZDA CX-5

FIRST DRIVE

CX-5 RAISES THE BAR CROSSOVER EMPHASIZES SPORTINESS OVER UTILITY, WITH SKYACTIV PROCESS PROVIDING THE PERFORMANCE BOOST

The story of the 2013 Mazda CX-5 began in 2005 when Mazda began mapping out its long-term strategy in a post-Ford world. This is how the car business works. What you see in showrooms today was conceived long ago. SkyActiv, the buzzword Mazda is using to describe the company’s comprehensive take on improving fuel economy and reducing emissions in vehicles that remain fun to drive, is all about “wiping the slate clean,” says Mazda senior engineer Dave Coleman, the self-described Director of Technobabble. “No more partsbin engineering,” he adds. By that he means this: The CX-5 and all that comes next from Mazda represent what you might call a holistic approach to vehicle development. Everything you will see from Mazda going forward, from the powertrains to the platforms, from the designs to engineering top to bottom – all if it is about “squeezing maximum efﬁciency from existing technologies.” Yeah, but why should you care? You’re not a technogeek. But if you’re like 300,000 other Canadians or so, you will be buying a compact SUV of some sort this year or next year or the year after, each and every year. Canadians love their compact SUVs; sales

here account for 17 per cent of the entire new-vehicle market and just in the last two years have doubled. So you are very likely to want something along the lines of a Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, Ford Escape, Chevrolet Equinox, Kia Sportage, Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Rogue. If you are a Mazda owner, you will likely be moving up from a Mazda3, although Mazda wants you if you are a former Honda Civic or Ford Focus owner, too. If that’s you, the base version of the CX-5, the GX with frontwheel-drive, starts at $22,995. The volume model, the GS, lists for $27,895 and the top-of-the-line GT starts at $32,495. All are well equipped, but of course, as you pay more you get more. AWD, for instance, is a $2,000 option on GX and GS models, standard on the GT. Most importantly to Mazda, the CX-5 offers the “best highway fuel economy of any SUV sold in Canada – including hybrids:” 7.8 litres/100 km in the city, 5.7 highway for front-drive models with the six-speed manual transmission. Front-drivers with the six-speed automatic get 7.7 city/6.1 highway and with AWD and the automatic, 8.0 city/6.4 highway. Using regular gas

across the board. Mazda, then, is taking aim at the heart of the new-vehicle market in Canada with a crossover that is very capable, looks sharp and is fun-to-drive. All at an appealing price. If Mazda gets this right, the CX-5 will not be a niche player. You’re going to see them all over your neighbourhood. The CX-5 is, for the present, the future of Mazda. It’s Mazda going all in for the first time with SkyActiv fuel-saving technologies. For instance, there is a new global platform architecture here, and it is 8 per cent lighter and 30 per cent more rigid than the company’s previous small-car architecture. Most interesting, I think, is that this small-car architecture has yielded a fuel-efficient crossover that not only isn’t a bore to drive, but is almost as big as the current Mazda CX-7. SkyActiv at work. Speaking of which, the heart of it, really, is Mazda’s new Skyactiv-G direct-injected, 2.0-litre, inline- four-cylinder gasoline engine. Director Technobabble had a long and detailed presentation to explain why this engine is so good, so strong, and so efficient and if you must know, the essence of it all is the 13:1 compression ratio using regular gas. Those who care about

compression ratios will know that’s a pretty good number for an everyday car. If you could not care less, sufﬁce to say the 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque are all there and pretty quickly. This Mazda is no slug. And thanks to some fancy engine plumbing, the power comes on smoothly, without any knocking or hesitation. All very impressive. Then there’s the new automatic transmission. Delicious. Again, only a geek would care why the shifts are so good (the torque converter is basically on the job only during gear changes) but let me tell you, up-shifts are smooth and downshifts are rev-matched. They are seriously snappy, too. As is the overall handling of the CX-5. Meanwhile, the exterior design is an eye-grabber and the cabin is roomy, intelligently useful and airy. Outward visibility is exceptional, rear-seat room is good for adults and the big cargo area expands thanks to near-ﬂat folding rear seatback. As family haulers go, the CX-5 looks like a winner. No, that’s damning with faint praise. Mazda, in fact, has just thrown down the gauntlet in this segment. The competition should start tearing down CX-5s ASAP.

Vancouver’s Philip Mak won the championship tournament of the 2012 Fred Wellsby Junior Divot Tour. The matter was decided July 10 with Mak draining three birdies to run away with the title. Mak (13-15 year old division) shot a lowgross 71. The next best score belonged to West Vancouver’s Andrew

Wong, who shot a lowgross 82. Chilliwack’s Mitchell Thiessen shot a low-gross 83 to place third. The tournament was played in high winds at the Royalwood Golf and RV Resort. Dates have already been set for next year’s tour, with the first of six rounds teeing off the first Tuesday of July at Kinkora.

Lucas had been helping his older brother, Dylan with his paper route but really wanted his very own. Finally, a route came up and he was so happy! He's been delivering for only a few months but loves his route and is committed to getting it done every Tuesday and Thursday. Lucas likes to be very busy and is always on the go. When he's not playing hockey or baseball, he loves to ride his bike or his skeateboard. He also likes to go camping, exploring, ﬁshing and travelling. Way to go, Lucas!

Congratulations... and keep up the good work! TO BE A PART OF OUR DELIVERY TEAM, PLEASE CALL 604-702-5558. 07-12H_CW19
