Guard slashed at Kent prison goes public Attack prompts call for safety measures Robert Freeman The Progress

Native fishing case draws court demonstration Robert Freeman The Progress A Sto:lo woman’s lone court fight against her “criminalization” for possessing fish that she says is an aboriginal right nearly came to blows last week. Patricia Kelly was arrested and jailed for drumming and singing her way into the Chilliwack courthouse Wednesday, where she hoped to present expert testimony on her fishing rights under the Canadian constitution. But that testimony, heard in court Thursday from a Lethbridge University professor, first had to meet judicial standards to be
accepted as the opinion of an expert, rather than an advocate, a process that took up a full morning of the one day of scheduled court time left to Kelly to make her case. Sto:lo Nation president Joe Hall said outside the courtroom that the need to follow rigid court rules of procedure is a flaw in the system that aboriginal people can’t overcome — without the political will of the federal government. “It’s the government, at the end of the day, that has the ability to change the acts that create the laws that the courts are stuck with,” he said. But the courts aren’t set up to
hear these kinds of social issues, he said. So when Kelly was charged under the Fisheries Act in 2004, and then continued to fight her conviction, she was treated like a criminal rather than an aboriginal person simply exercising her constitutional rights, he said. And as she tried to practice her aboriginal culture by drumming and singing as she walked into the courthouse Wednesday, he added, “she gets the same treatment as if she were the murderer down in Colorado, for heaven’s sake.” “The government has to resolve these issues through legislation and policy,” he said, “rather than
just automatically turning them into crimes and have the courts deal with issues that, quite frankly, don’t belong in the courts.” Anthony Hall, the Lethbridge University professor called by Kelly as an expert witness, told the court he’s been writing about aboriginal rights since 1981 and is now a full professor of native American studies. He rejected the “advocate” description of his role in the case, as suggested by the court. “Drawing attention (in court) is not advocacy, but looking at the hard realities,” he said.

A female Kent prison guard viciously slashed by an inmate went public last week to highlight safety concerns at the maximum-security institution. “It’s not just my safety, but the safety of all the staff at the institution,” the 42-year-old correctional officer — who asked that only her initials C.W. be used in this story — said in an interview with The Progress. Gord Robertson, Pacific region president of the Union of Canadian Correction Officers, called prison guards like C.W. the “unsung heroes” of Canada’s judicial system, working in a dangerous place where no one else wants to go. Yet the union still meets with “resistance” from prison management when it raises staff safety concerns, he said. The union had to go outside the correctional system to get the plastic disposable razors banned that it’s believed was used in the June 23 attack on C.W. Continued: GUARDS/ p4

Greater cancer awareness saves lives: survivor Katie Bartel The Progress When symptoms of colorectal cancer first appeared in Cindy Stewart, it was believed to be too late. In 1996, at just 32 years old, Stewart was diagnosed with advanced colorectal cancer with a large tumour on her colon and another that had spread to her right ovary; she was the youngest person to be diagnosed with the
disease that predominantly affects people 50 years and older. Her chances of survival were not good. “There are two groups when it comes to colorectal cancer: the survivors and the diers,” said Stewart. “The diers are the people who get advanced colorectal cancer.” But after 52 weeks of chemotherapy, Stewart beat the odds. And 16 years later, the University of the Fraser Valley professor wishes for no others to go through
what she went through. On Friday, NDP leader and former health critic Adrian Dix held a press conference at UFV advocating for wider spread colorectal cancer screening tests for those between 50- to 75-years-old. Dix is pressuring the government to roll out a province-wide screening program similar to that of Ontario’s, which would boost awareness; create a registry to notify those who fall within the screening age; and provide options
for at-home screening tests. B.C. already has a colon check pilot program in Penticton, Powell River and parts of Vancouver that’s been operating since 2007. “We feel the time to act [province-wide] is now,” said Dix, whose mother survived colorectal cancer 15 years ago, which he believes is because of early detection. “If it can be done in Ontario, it can be done in B.C..” Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related
deaths in Canada. This year, it’s expected 3,000 people will be diagnosed with the disease in B.C., and 1,100 will die from it. Because there are no symptoms in the early stages of colorectal cancer, which develops from colon polyps, “the best way to beat it is to not get it, and the best way to not get it, is to get screened,” said Stewart. With early detection, there’s a 90 per cent survival rate.
Pipeline tour set for Wednesday
Garden group holds potluck
Robert Freeman The Progress
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A new group to maintain and run the Sunshine Community Garden in Chilliwack is emerging. A garden potluck to start the conversation about it is set for Wednesday night at 5:30 p.m. at the gardens on Sunshine Drive. “All Sunshine Community gardeners and individuals interested in the well being and continued creation and maintenance of the garden are welcome to gather for a potluck and a conversation about the emergence of a new group to manage the continuing governance and operation of the garden,” wrote organizers about the Aug. 1 event on the Facebook page devoted to the gardens. Everyone is asked to bring a cold or hot dish to share with the group, something to sit on like a chair or a blanket, utensils, and dishes. In the wake of the success of the Sunshine Community Garden this year, it has outgrown its status as a subcommittee of Food Matters Chilliwack, so they’ve created a distinct group. The next month will see some changes to the contact information and web presence of the garden group. Check out www.foodmatterschilliwack.com and www. facebook.com/sunshine.communitygarden for details. “We are amazed with how quickly the community of Chilliwack has come together and supported all of these local food initiatives,” says Jason Delisle of the Sunshine Community Garden group. “I am excited to see these two groups continue to passionately connect people and food and look forward to their continued growth.” Both will be looking for new members to help coordinate the group’s activities. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

At Old Yale it’s beer season Here’s to the Dog Days of Summer. Romans thought it was when the Dog Star rose and set with the sun. Between July 3 and August 11 is still usually the hottest, driest time of the year, and it’s when Chilliwackians tend to slow down, sometimes seeking out more leisurely pursuits. Jennifer Feinberg The Progress They’re malting, mashing, boiling and filtering. The folks at Old Yale Brewing Company have been hard at work preparing for the Dog Days of Summer. They want people to know they’ve been brewing up batches of beer with the same distinct and tasty recipes that earned them industry awards in the discerning world of micro beer. “The important thing is that Chilliwack has its well-respected
brewery back,” says Jeremy Sibley, one of the Old Yale co-owners who joined forces with master brewer Larry Caza to reinvigorate the brewery several months ago. Things are starting to move. “The last three months have been fantastic,” said Sibley. Old Yale is now carried in more than half a dozen pubs and restaurants around Chilliwack and Harrison areas. The hand-crafted beer took on a new streamlined look with the rebranding once the new owners took over earlier this year, putting aside the artsy, retro labels for now. It’s
now being sold in cans, larger-format bottles and kegs. The fan favourites are still available such as the Pale Ale, Sergeant’s IPA, Cultus Lake Pilsner and Sasquatch Stout. The spent grain used in the beer making goes to a local farmer who feeds it to his cattle. They used to have a Chilliwack Blonde variety, which was consistently in demand, and they decided to bring it back. The newest batch is coming soon. “We’ve had a lot of requests for it recently from pub owners and liquor stores,” Sibley said. The secret might be the clean Chilliwack water, and the fact the Caza uses all-natural ingredients. They’ve been concentrating on reconnecting with loyal customers and branching out into Vancouver and other big volume markets. “We’re slowly growing out,” he said. “We’re still nothing big, but we’re growing in Alberta.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno
A “Talk the Walk” tour of the Kinder Morgan pipeline in Chilliwack starts Wednesday on the playground of Watson Elementary school. Organizer Wendy Major says it’s going to be an “easy-paced” hourlong walk to raise public awareness of the pipeline in Chilliwack. “Some people don’t know exactly where it is,” she said. “Some people are surprised it’s so close to a school.” The pipeline, which Kinder Morgan wants to double in capacity, also passes over the Sardis/ Vedder aquifer, the primary source of Chilliwack’s drinking water. It’s also not widely known that the pipeline, which has been operating since 1953, now carries “tar sands” or diluted bitumen, in addition to conventional crude oil. Opponents argue that diluted bitumen is corrosive and presents more of a risk of pipeline failure and greater chance of a spill, a charge the Canadian Energy Pipeline Association rejects. Major and other members of the PIPE UP Network will be distributing information leaflets during the tour, and to homes in the area. PIPE UP has also organized a “town hall” meeting for Aug. 22 starting at 7 p.m. at the Tzeachten Community Hall The Wednesday tour of the pipeline starts at 1 p.m. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

to protect” its employees, and the doubleedged “safety” razors, which had been issued free to inmates, were finally banned and replaced by a much smaller razor. A Kent prison spokesman did not return repeated phone calls for comment on steps the institution is taking to address safety concerns. C.W. said on the day of the attack she was near the end of her shift, talking to a junior officer, when an inmate approached her with a piece of paper, like he was going to ask her to explain something written on it. Nothing unusual in that, she said, as inmates routinely ask guards for help with documents or

letters, and she had no apprehension at all as the inmate approached her. “As I looked down, he slashed my face and took off running toward his cell,” she said. “It felt like my whole face split open, and instantly there was just tons of blood.” C.W. was immediately whisked to the first aid room, and the entire prison locked down. It was later determined that C.W. had suffered an 18-cm slash so deep it sliced an artery and cut into her jawbone. She lost three litres of blood after the attack and was airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster for life-saving surgery. Despite the trauma, and the prospect of five years of plastic surgery, C.W. said she intends to return to her career as a correctional officer. “I love my job,” she said. “I enjoy working with inmates.” But she also wants to
do what she can to create a safe environment for all the staff working at federal prisons, from guards to chaplains and healthcare workers. Robertson said the inmate who attacked C.W. had made earlier threats against staff, but these reports had somehow not reached the unit where the attack eventually took place. This “communications gap” is still an outstanding union concern, he said. But there are also questions about why the inmate was returned to the prison’s general population, after he had been removed for assessment. “He basically carried out what he threatened to do,” Robertson said, apparently using a blade from a doubleedged razor. “It’s easy to turn into a weapon,” Robertson explained, by popping out the blade and melting it onto the handle of a plastic toothbrush, making a formidable-

“They don’t care who they attack,” he said. “They are ruthless.” And the union is asking management to listen more to staff input on safety issues. “We want to find solutions,” Robertson said. “We want them to take staff safety seriously.” And if the public knows the risks the guards face, he added, perhaps they will contact their local MP for support.

River warning
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
The apparent death of a 67-year-old fisherman near Hope offers yet another reminder of how treacherous river conditions currently are. The search continued Monday for the man, who police say went into the water three kilometres north of Yale after slipping off a rock Saturday afternoon. River deaths around Chilliwack have been mercifully rare this year; the weekend incident marks the first. But the ferocity of this year’s freshet has taken its toll elsewhere. Most recently three people drown in a tubing accident near Grand Forks. Those deaths have sparked reminders that rivers – inviting as they are on a hot summer day – need to be treated with respect. “The RCMP want to remind fishermen and anyone who is near the river to always wear a flotation device,” said RCMP spokesperson Cst. Tracy Wolbeck. “The rivers in the Upper Fraser Valley are running extremely fast and cold and a flotation device could save a life in an emergency situation. The warning is particularly appropriate with the coming long weekend, which is typically a busy time on Chilliwack rivers. With temperatures expected to climb to the high 20s by Friday, the water will offer an inviting reprieve. However, as experienced fishers know, even the slightest misstep can bring tragedy. Strong currents and slippery footing bring danger even in shallow water. The high water levels, meanwhile, brought on by rainfall and rapid snow melt, can hide fallen logs and debris that can easily snare and tear rafts and tubes. The river is a great place to spend a lazy summer afternoon. But the power of this resource cannot be overstated. The cost of failing to treat rivers with the respect they demand is high.

Clark’s tough stand on pipeline earns praise Premier Christy Clark stepped up to the plate last week and made it clear that Enbridge’s Northern Gateway pipeline was off the table without five conditions being met, none the least of which was a “fair share of the fiscal and economic benefits of proposed heavy oil projects that reflect the risk borne by the province.” Good on her. Until now, Clark has been skirting around this issue and her flagging popularity has taken hit upon hit since coming to office March 14th last year. The problem over pipelines and pristine wilderness is complicatedly simple. There are huge environmental risks to piping heavy oil from the Alberta oil sands to Kitimat. And there is huge money to be made by green-lighting it, money that could fund vital social programs. The twin pipeline system will

be 1,177 kilometres long crossing mountains, interior plains, and over 1,000 fish-bearing rivers and streams. Given Enbridge’s dubious track record of pipeline safety, they have done nothing to instill confidence that at some point a disastrous oil leak won’t happen. Their handling of the Michigan Margaret oil spill into the EVANS Kalamazoo River in 2010 was appalling, allowing oil to gush into the river for 17 hours before it was stopped. The environmental damage spread through 50 kilometres of waterways and wetlands and hundreds of people complained of symptoms from crude oil exposure. In Alberta this spring Enbridge operations leaked 230,000 litres
from a pumping station in northern Alberta, 800,000 litres soaked muskeg near the NWT border, and a pipeline breach dumped 480,000 litres into the Red Deer River. Now they are dealing with their current Wisconsin pipeline leak. Last week Environment Minister Terry Lake pointed out that, in the potential for an oil spill, B.C. will be taking 100 per cent of the risk in marine waters and 58 per cent of the risk on land. Yet in terms of revenues to hedge against monstrous clean up bills the royalty share of the $80 billion pot is pitiful for this province, a mere $6 billion compared to the federal government and Alberta’s share of over $35 billion each. Sure, it’s the pipeline company’s responsibility to pay cleanup costs but there are always extended consequences for local residents and long term impacts
that dig into provincial coffers. And we’d be left with environmental damage for decades. In addition to a fair share of revenues, Clark includes in her terms completion of the formal environmental review; world-leading marine oil spill response, prevention, and recovery systems; world-leading practices for land spill prevention, response, and recovery; and legal requirements regarding Aboriginal and treaty rights to be addressed with First Nations’ people given opportunities to benefit from the project. Clark is making a firm stand for B.C. but for some residents no amount of money justifies the pipeline project. Alberta Premier Alison Redford was not impressed, staring down Clark with an Albertan hands-off attitude. Albertans have a lightning recoil response to anyone touching their oil. They still smart

from Pierre Trudeau’s much hated National Energy Program of 1980 following the 1970s energy crisis. ‘Let the eastern bastards freeze in the dark’ was the bumper sticker of the day in contempt of revenue sharing. Hopefully Redford’s advisors have matured a bit since then. Some think Clark is hedging for election brownie points. But she’s being strategically sensible. Yes, we need a fair share of revenue and employment opportunities from this project. And, yes, the highest ever environmental protection standards must be enforced. Legally, Enbridge does not need Clark’s blessing to go ahead since pipelines are a federal affair. But it won’t pay Harper to get heavy handed if he wants votes in 2015. Don’t blink Christy.

Support for science: Strahl Re: Strahl turns his back on science While my Liberal colleague from Kingston and the Islands, Ted Hsu, has demonstrated his flair for the political theatre with his letter to the editor, the facts prove his “death of evidence” routine is pure fiction. The truth is last year alone our government provided over $11 billion in investments in support of science and technology. These investments are leading to jobs, economic growth and long-term prosperity for Canadians. Just recently, the Conservative government unveiled Canada’s
contribution to the James Webb Space Telescope, the successor to the famed Hubble Space Telescope. The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is contributing two-inone technology that will direct the telescope with incredible precision. It has been dubbed “Canadaeyes” because it is on the same scale of importance as the Canadarm. With a track record like that, it is not surprising that university presidents and academic leaders are lining up in support of our government’s research and innovation agenda.
Kingston’s own Daniel Woolf, Principal of Queen’s University, said of our recent budget that “a significant investment to enhance university-industry partnerships is a strong statement of the government’s confidence in universities, and our researchers, and their role in innovation.” Perhaps before writing his next diatribe, Mr. Hsu should do a little more research. He could start at the university in his own backyard. Mark Strahl, MP Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon

Premier’s pipeline stand supported lucrative oil industr y pie. Premier Christy Clark is absolutely right to be taking the tough stand she has on this issue. In fact, it would be offensively irresponsible of us if we did not leverage the oil industry to offset government revenue from income tax and eliminate provincial debt the way Alberta has done. Oil royalties
made this a reality for the people of Alberta. Now it’s OUR turn to reap some of the benefits of the oil that must pass through our borders to keep Canada strong economically. Progress cannot and should not be stopped. If done right, which is the way Christy Clark and the provincial government have demanded, oil pipelines have a 99% safety record.
Personalize education As a high school student I do a good amount of homework on a daily basis, and sometimes when I am doing this homework I sometimes wonder why in the world I would need to learn some of the material we are required to learn. Like in my case, I want to be in the sports medicine field after high school and when I do math homework I wonder when, (if ever) I’ll need to know how to graph a parabola or know how to analyze a Shakespearean play. Chances are as soon as this semester ends I won’t see a parabola ever again. So why do we bother forcing students through these classes? I’m sure you could bring up the argument that we aren’t forcing students to take
the courses, but most post-secondary schools require such courses. Another argument is that these courses force students to problem solve and that’s what they are used for, but my defence to that is how come we aren’t marked based on our problem solving? Now I am not saying take out all the hard courses and make school easy, my message is making education slightly more personalized. If I wasn’t required to take math, socials and English, and there were more courses that involved things that I was interested in and cared about, I would be better prepared for my life after high school. Eric Wieking
We should therefore not waste this opportunity when it potentially offers the potential of a zero sales tax rate for BC citizens in the near future. Premier Christy Clark has my full support in seeking a better deal for BC and I’m certain the support of many other British Columbians as well. Roop Virk Chilliwack, BC
Looking for a little colour I know the City of Chilliwack has its colour codes which could be a bit brighter.

“I am a messenger trying to articulate realities I see,” Hall said, according to the oath he swore to tell the truth in his testimony. “This is my effort to bring to the attention of the court how this particular case and this particular woman (are) relevant to
the constitutional questions I would like to bring to the court.” In an interview before the court hearing, Professor Hall said the federal government is failing to live up to its duty to protect aboriginal people, unlike the U.S. federal government that has taken state governments to court for violating native rights. If the federal government of Canada will not “recognize and
affirm” the aboriginal rights as set out in the constitution, he said, then who should in order to build a better relationship between native and non-native people? “We want this court to acknowledge those legitimate questions,” he said. The court hearing continued Thursday. rfreeman@theprogress.com

Student wins award by believing in others Chilliwack secondary school graduate Alyssa Zucchet wins local Optimist essay contest and places third in the Pacific Northwest. Katie Bartel The Progress Alyssa Zucchet doesn’t believe anything is a lost cause. Whether it’s bringing pristine beauty back to the Hope Slough, or helping struggling students become successful students, or getting into medical school at the University of British Columbia. “I will do it,” she said. It’s that attitude that won the recent Chilliwack secondar y school graduate first place in the Chilliwack Optimist essay contest, and third place in the district Pacific Northwest contest. Because Zucchet was assigned the essay in her English 12 class, it never occurred to her she would win. “I was just looking at it as an assignment,” she said. But the topic – how my positive outlook impacts my community – was right up her alley. “I based my essay on the idea that everything and everybody has the potential to succeed, even if it’s not always blatantly obvious,” said Zucchet. She wrote about leading Chilliwack secondary’s environmental club in cleaning up the Hope Slough, an area riddled with garbage, cigarette butts and other such sludge. She wrote about her endeavors as a school tutor; working with seniors at the Waverly Centre; and volunteering at Ruth and Naomi’s Mission, helping Chilliwack’s most marginalized. And while some might look at underachieving students, the homeless and the Hope Slough as lost causes, not Zucchet. “I don’t believe in lost causes,” she said. “I think if you work hard enough, you can accomplish anything you want to – I know you can.” Her tutoring is proof.
Chilliwack secondary school graduate Alyssa Zucchet, who will be attending UFV in September for pre-med, won the Chilliwack Optimist essay contest and placed third in the Pacific Northwest. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
“Some people scoff at these students as being lazy, but I saw their determination and their desire to succeed,” Zucchet said. “With the help of their teachers and tutors, I believe they have the potential to impact their community one day. And I like to think that I had a part to play in that.” However, even though the essay topic was seemingly perfect, the rules were anything but. Designed in the early 1900s, when Optimist International was first formed as a way of getting delinquent boys off the streets of Buffalo, the contest featured strict rules that could not be broken. It couldn’t go over 750 words, the title had to be in quotation

marks and centred at the top of both the first page and the title page, each page had to be numbered in size 12 font and located at the bottom centre of the page, and the staple also had to be meticulously placed. Any rule that was broken would result in docked points. “It was intense; if even one little thing was out of place, they’d dock you,” said Zucchet, who read the rules five times over, and spent three weeks tweaking and editing to ensure perfection. “I’ve had strict rules before but that seemed over the top.” Even though the competition was slim in Chilliwack, just three other competitors to beat out, it was
fierce in the Pacific Northwest, up against hundreds of other aspiring writers from clubs in B.C., Alaska, Washington, Oregon and Idaho. Zucchet came in third place, just one point off from winning scholarship money. She doesn’t see it as a loss. “I always push myself to do the best,” said Zucchet, who will be entering pre-med at the University of the Fraser Valley this fall with the intent of specializing in neurology at UBC down the road. “You’ll never know what you can do if you don’t even try.” The Chilliwack Optimist Club hopes Zucchet’s wins will encourage other youth in the community to seek out their services.
The Optimist Club is a non-profit organization that has a mandate of bringing out the best in kids through a variety of youth support services. Last year, the Chilliwack club helped over 13,000 kids. And it wants to do more. “We support anything to do with kids from wheelchairs to glasses to school supplies – anything,” said president Sam Mohan. “I wish to not be the best kept secret, and to allow for others in our community to learn of our youth support services.” For more information on Chilliwack Optimist, contact Sam Mohan at 604-703-0095 or by email at sammohan01@gmail.com.

Protein For Your Good Health M
any people, especially vegetarians and most everyone over 50 years old, just do not get enough protein in their diets. An unfortunate by-product of inadequate protein is a loss of lean muscle, weight gain, bone loss, fatigue and compromised immune systems (getting sick frequently), and these are also signs of premature aging.
Protein plays a critical role for your good health. It supports, repairs and rebuilds muscle tissue, it enhances your metabolic activity, it helps to maintain blood sugar levels and it’s an important fuel source. Protein is a vital part of your diet... it nourishes your muscles and it is excellent fuel to help you maintain vitality and strength. As we get older we lose a lot of muscle strength. Good nutrition, exercise and adequate protein can help you maintain strong muscles no matter what your age. A recent study found that older men who consumed protein showed greater muscle strength, which helps limit muscle loss over time.
A recent study conducted at Boston University showed that elderly people who consumed low levels of protein had a signiÀcant loss of bone density, especially in the hip and spine areas. A diet that includes whey protein can help keep your bones healthy and strong.
Danby Air Conditioners: • No water buckets to empty • Non ozone depleting refrigerant
Whey is a complete protein... it contains all of the essential amino acids needed in your diet. It has the ideal combination of amino acids to improve body composition and to enhance your muscle strength. Whey protein is easy to digest and it is easily absorbed. It is often referred to as a “fast” protein for its ability to provide instant nourishment to your muscles.

Bantam champs The Chilliwack Mustangs went unbeaten through the entire regular season and playoffs before taking their first loss Friday morning. It seemed to come at the worst possible time. Facing Juan de Fuca in the bantam B provincial opener, at Burnaby’s Bill Copeland Arena, the Mustangs suffered an 11-7 defeat. Christel Blesch was the Chilliwack MVP. For a team unaccustomed to facing adversity, it could have been devastating. But these Mustangs did what championship teams do. They took the loss in stride, got their game together and got right back on track. On Friday afternoon they routed Delta 15-5. Dawson Rodin was the MVP. On Saturday morning they edged Shuswap 6-4. Connor McCracken was the MVP.
By the time they blitzed Saanich 10-5 Saturday night, backstopped by MVP goaltender Kayl Graydon, they’d regained all of their swagger. Like a boulder rolling downhill, they weren’t going to be stopped by anyone. And how perfect was it facing Juan de Fuca again in the finals. With a title in sight and revenge on the radar, Chilliwack played ruthless lacrosse, drubbing their overmatched opponents 10-5 to secure the 2012 bantam B provincial championship. Davin Padgham was the MVP. Blesch made the post-tournament all-star team and Matt Rychtowski got the Fair Play award. Others on the team were Timothy Hulstein, Caleb Carter, Alexander Rademakecher, Kaleb Moniz, Sean Russell, Colin Gormely, Jamie Brunt, Jake Hunter, Blake Bonnar, Nicklas Milne and Ethan Marsden-Blackface. The coach was Brandon Mulligan.
Midget Mustangs finish fourth Chilliwack’s midget A2 lacrosse Mustangs finished their season as the fourth best team in the province. Provincials were held in Port Moody. Chilliwack opened Friday morning with a 9-8 win over Richmond. The Mustangs fell to 1-1 Friday afternoon, dropping a 6-0 decision to Coquitlam. Chilliwack rebounded big-time Saturday morning, bouncing North Okanagan (8-2). A 10-2 loss to Cowichan Saturday night landed Chilliwack in the bronze medal game, where they lost 6-4 to
Coquitlam. Game MVPs were Max Leyen, Byron Dargatz, Connor Lovely, Tristan Desjarlais and Brett Gudmundson. Lovely was a tournament all-star and Brayden Galbraith got the Fair Play award. Other team members were Nathan Giesler, Landon Smith, Darien Maydiniuk, Tristan Dundas, Tyson Kirkness, Cam Campbell, Brayden Hiesler, Brady Barrett, Austin Johnson, Connor McNeill, Clay Corbett and Kevin Werner.

The Chilliwack Huskers took it on the chin in a Saturday preseason game against Langley, losing 70-0 to the Rams. Chilliwack opens the 2012 BC Football Conference schedule Aug. 5 in Kamloops. The home opener is Aug. 11 versus the Westshore Rebels. GORD GOBLE PHOTO
Clapp keeps rolling with four-stroke win Chilliwack Golf and Country Club’s Brad Clapp has won another tournament, going wire to wire to capture the 2012 Titleist/ FootJoy PGA of BC Championship. The biggest PGA of BC tournament of the summer was held at the Crown Isle Resort and Golf Community in Comox. Clapp claimed
his first PGA of BC Championship, shooting a three round total of 12-under par (65-6673=204) to edge out Kevin Maxwell (72-6472=208) by four strokes. Maxwell mounted a tremendous final round charge to trim a five shot deficit to one, but two late miscues by Mitchell and two long putts by Clapp cemented the title.
Maxwell was within a shot as they walked towards the 13th tee, but he found a fairway bunker and had to settle for a bogey. Clapp reached the green in regulation and drained a 40-foot snake for birdie to regain a three-stroke lead heading to the 14th hole. After back-to-back birdies for Clapp and a par for Maxwell, the
lead returned to four strokes. Sticking with his game plan, Clapp chose his trustworthy driver from the tee box, only to push his next drive out-of-bounds. A double-bogey against Maxwell’s par and the lead was back to two. On the par three 16th, Maxwell watched Clapp roll in another 30-footer
for birdie and missed his 12-foot birdie to match. The lead was three with two holes to go. After both bogeying the 17th hole and matching pars on 18, the trophy and $5,000 winner’s check was presented to Clapp. Maxwell earned $3,750 for the runnerup finish. “Today’s round was
YOUTH & ADULT CARRIERS NEEDED!
quite a battle,” Clapp said. “I holed quite a few putts, including two long ones, and I’m glad it was enough to win. I was disappointed to see my lead drop to one stroke, but kudos to Max for playing so well and applying the pressure.” Clapp, who has been on fire of late, won this third tournament in the last two years.
He was on the winning team at the inaugural PGA of BC Pro-Pro Championship last fall. Six weeks ago claimed the PGA of BC Assistants’ Championship at the Vernon Golf and Country Club, blowing the field away with a nine-stroke victory. Get results and info online at http://www. pgabc.org/

PCSL men upset Heat in Challenge Cup Chilliwack’s Pacific Coast Soccer League men didn’t want to just be there as the hosts. They wanted to prove they belonged. And so, as the 2012 PCSL Challenge Cup tournament kicked off, the local lads were determined to do make their mark. Saturday’s semi-final pitted Chilliwack against a Kamloops Heat squad that had lost just one
game all season, going 8-1-3. Given little chance to win, the underdogs started strong and kept the game scoreless at the half. Kamloops got on the board first at the 15 minute mark of the second half on a goal by Justin Wallace, who beat Chilliwack keeper Jackie Tang with a wellplaced shot. But Chillwack
responded quickly with striker Zenow Renaerts moving the ball to Connor MacMillan. MacMillan beat two defenders en-route to the net and blasted the ball by the Heat keeper from a sharp angle to level the score. Playing in front of a sizeable, and vocal, crowd, the home team pressed on. Renaerts put a low cross into the box, and
Meekaylae Renaerts roofed it for the game winner. Defenders Jaye Amberg, Kyle Staiger, Nick Haywood and Jordan Lam kept the Heat at bay for the remaining 15 minutes as Chilliwack pulled off the upset. Victoria United downed West Van FC 3-2 in the other semifinal setting up a Sunday morning championship
between Chilliwack and Victoria. Missed opportunities were the story in the final. Chilliwack failed to capitalize on four glorious opportunities, getting their lone goal off an Amberg volley. Victoria was far more efficient around the net, burying three balls for a 3-1 final. See pcsl.org for more info.
In last week’s article detailing local BC Summer Games medalists, Tasha Willing’s gold medal in shot-put was missed. Competing against older girls, the Chilliwack girl won with a toss of 11.55 metres. Her mark was among the top-10 all-time for her age group at the Games.

FIRST DRIVE
2013 MAZDA CX-5
CX-5 RAISES THE BAR
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
CROSSOVER EMPHASIZES SPORTINESS OVER UTILITY, WITH SKYACTIV PROCESS PROVIDING THE PERFORMANCE BOOST 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.

✞ Obituaries AARTS Wilhemus Ambrosius Antonius
Wi l h e m u s “William” Ambrosius Antonius Aarts passed away peacefully at Czorny AlAARTS zheimer Centre in Cloverdale, BC on July 28, 2012. William was fifth child of Johannes and Petronella Aarts and was born in 1922 in St. Odenrode, N. Brabant, The Netherlands. William grew up with two brothers and three sisters on the family farm. A hard worker at home, he also belonged to many social clubs, and was an accomplished horseman and soccer player. After finishing high school William attended two years of Agricultural College. During WWII, William had a number of close escapes from the occupying German Army and narrowly avoided being transported to Germany to work in the munitions factories. During those dangerous years William became acquainted with the Van Esch family who were well known for their nine attractive daughters. William bicycled over every Sunday and soon made his choice. He picked the one best one, he always said, and knew that Theodora, was the right one for him. After their wedding in 1947, William and Dora were among the first post-war Dutch immigrants to Canada. They arrived in Ontario with little money and no English. By 1948 William and Dora found themselves working on the Quadling farm in Pumptown near the Vedder Canal. After a few years as a hired hand, William set out to buy his own farm. For the next ten years he rented farms and worked a second job as a logger to pay the bills and to buy cows. He bought his first purebred Holstein in 1952 and proceeded to build up his herd. It wasn’t all cows in those days; by 1956 William
and Dora were renting a farm in Harrison Mills and bringing up their six children, five girls, Elly, Mary-anne, Dorine, Joanne, Susan and one son, John. Finally, in 1959 William was able to buy his own farm in Sardis - where more hard work waited for him. There was no barn and only a small duplex for the family on the eighty acres, so no time could be wasted in constructing a barn for his herd. Typically, William made sure that the cows living conditions came first and so the barn was built well before any renovations took place on the duplex. Those were years of hard work, but also years of pleasure and joy. William’s daughters loved working in the barn and the fields with their Dad, and when he was old enough, John joined in. After twenty years of careful selection, William’s herd, Elmido Holsteins, became known for its high standard of breeding. Many awards and honours were won by cattle William bred, and in 1983 he went to Ottawa to receive the highest award in Canada for his work, Master Breeder. William retired from active farming in 1993, but he continued to “volunteer” his time across the road helping John who had taken over the farm. A respected judge for the BC Holstein Association, William travelled all over BC judging dairy cattle. William and Dora had 16 grandchildren who were always welcome to join Opa’s daily visits to feed the calves. And, now that they weren’t so busy, William and Dora had time to travel; usually visiting children and grandchildren who were living in some exotic locale, Japan, Peru or Mexico. In 1997 William and Dora celebrated 50 years of marriage. With Dora’s unexpected passing in 2007, William’s life changed completely. He had developed Alzheimer’s disease and could not live alone so his daughters took over William’s care. William is survived by his sister, Nolly Toenders in Harrison Mills. His children, Elly (Fred) Perrin, Mary-anne (Barry) Wilcox, Dorine (Car-
los) Garibay, Joanne (David) Chalack, John (Deb) Aarts, Susan (Mick) LeClair. He is also survived by sixteen grandchildren and eight great grandchildren. And, most importantly, he is survived by his character; William was honest in his dealings, loyal to his family and friends, a source of knowledge and experience for many in his farming community. William’s life, for us that will miss him most, stands as a shining example of a fine man. “Nothing gold can stay” Prayers will be held on Thursday, August 2 at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 8909 Mary St., Chilliwack followed by a Funeral Mass on Friday, August 3 at 11:00 am.

MACHAM John Charles (Mache) November 9, 1933 - July 13, 2012 Passed away at Bradley Care Centre, Chilliwack, after several years of declining health MACHAM and dementia problems. Survived by his wife Joyce, daughter Helen, son Allan (Debbie), granddaughter Laura and sister Eileen (Brian). John was born in Derby, England, emigrating to Canada in 1966 working at Hooker Chemicals in North Vancouver for 28 years.

STEINWAND Ervin
E r v i n Steinwand of Chilliwack BC passed away peacefully in his sleep on July 21, 2012 at STEINWAND the age of 90. He was born on August 19, 1921 in Klostitz, Romania. Mourning his loss are his daughter Dianne (Shaun) Mulrooney; his son Waverley (Trish) Steinwand; and daughter Lorna (Doug) Lemna; six grandchildren: Bryan (Jamey) Mulrooney, Darren (Tanzi) Mulrooney, Kristen and Tara Lemna, and Maddy and Jess
Place your
Steinwand; four great-grandchildren: Ewan, Liam, Keira and Cooper. Also mourning his loss is his sister Ida (Herb) Kraushar. He is predeceased by his wife of 59 years, Ruth Steinwand and his brother Alex. In 1953 Ervin and Ruth moved from Alberta to begin dairy farming on Fairfield Island in Chilliwack. They continued to enjoy farm life until the farm was sold in 1968. Too young to retire, he began driving bus for the Chilliwack School District. After retirement they enjoyed travelling to many destinations with friends and family. A highlight for the entire family was vacationing each summer at a good water skiing lake. Ervin enjoyed good physical health throughout his life. During the last 4½ years, because of the progression of his Alzheimer’s, he resided at Cascade Lodge where he received excellent care. The viewing will be held at Henderson’s Funeral Home, Chilliwack on Tuesday, July 31, 2012 from 7:30-9:00 pm. A Celebration of Life service will be held on Wednesday, August 1, 2012 at 1:00 pm at Chilliwack Evangelical Missionary Church, 9310 Williams St., Chilliwack, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society of BC, #300-828 West 8th Ave., Vancouver, BC V5Z 1E2.
WILSON Pauline
Pauline Wilson, born in the second week of February 1921 in Pine River Manitoba, went to be with the WILSON Lord on July 25, 2012. She will be lovingly remembered by her children Mary (Tom), Wanda (Larry),
John and Carl (Kathryn), as well as her grandchildren Tommy (Taryn), Becky, Joseph (Elin) and Jennifer and great grandchildren Keagan, Macy and Charlee May. Pauline was predeceased by her husband Charles Wilson. Pauline Wilson, known to most visitors at the Spring’s Cafe as Grandma Polly, arrived in Harrison as a young single woman. She fell in love with and married Charlie Wilson. Together they built the Spring’s Cafe and ran it as a team until Charlie died in a car accident in 1969. As a true sign of her ability to dig deep and work hard, Grandma managed to raise her children and successfully run the business for another three and a half decades. Grandma was so proud to have worked with all four of her children and all four of her grandchildren, until a fire destroyed the Cafe in 2005 and she was forced to retire at 84 years of age. Grandma never stopped learning and playing. She carpet bowled, china painted, knitted, crocheted, quilted, gardened and cooked for her family. Grandma loved her family and believed that memories were her most cherished possession. Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, August 2 at 1:00 pm at the Agassiz United Church, 6860 Lougheed Highway, with Reverend Mary Duncan officiating. Flowers gratefully declined. If you would like to make a donation in Pauline’s memory, please consider the Children’s Hearing and Speech Centre of BC (Children’s Hearing & Speech Centre of BC, 3575 Kaslo Street, Vancouver BC, Canada V5M 3H4). www.childrenshearing.ca/make_a_difference. Envelopes will be available at the church. Why not have your say? theprogress.com
