Defence union turns up heat on MP Strahl Robert Freeman The Progress

Jared Gibbard of the Chilliwack Cougars (right) fails to tag out a Kelowna Cubs player at first base after he tries to steal second base during the Peewee AA provincials at Fairfield Island on Thursday afternoon. The game was one of many taking place in Chilliwack on the weekend. Chilliwack Minor Baseball also hosted the Midget AAA provincial championships. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

A last-ditch effort to stop the closure of the Canadian Forces’ Area Supply Unit in Chilliwack is being mounted by the Union of National Defence Employees. And Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl is being “targeted specifically” by the union to reverse the decision, Mark Miller, UNDE vicepresident in B.C., told The Progress last week. Strahl should be fighting to keep the ASU open, he said, “instead of kowtowing to the various doctrines of the prime minister.” “I’m targeting him specifically (because) he’s got the only (ASU) where there’s an actual closure taking place,” he said. Strahl was not available to comment on the political heat the union is mounting through the newspaper advertising campaign. Continued: ASU/ p11

BC gang activity wilting under police heat Robert Freeman The Progress Gang activity in B.C. has wilted under the heat of Lower Mainland police forces, including the Chilliwack RCMP, says UFV criminologist Darryl Plecas. While the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit has put a “significant dent” in gang leadership, according to CFSEU spokesman Sgt. Bill Whelan, Plecas said “proactive” policing by municipal police forces like those in Chilliwack, Abbotsford and West Vancouver has given new recruits second thoughts

about the gang lifestyle. “They are non-stop in their face,” Plecas said, about how police forces are using “sophisticated analytics” and intelligence software to keep tabs on offenders and to discourage them from a life of crime. B.C. crime stats have fallen by one-third since 2002, Abbotsford posting a “spectacular” 50 per cent cut — one of the highest in the world, Plecas said. Chilliwack’s crime stats have also dropped — property crimes by 24 per cent in the first year of a new policing strategy, with steady declines thereafter. Serious crimes

like assault have also declined, although robbery stats remain stubbornly flat. Plecas and police officials from Chilliwack, Abbotsford and West Van are heading to the United Nations this week to talk about B.C.’s success at an International Police Executive Symposium where cops from around the world talk about how they are sticking it to the bad guys. Plecas said the key in B.C. — where gangs wars once seemed out of control — is making sure the police have the resources to do the job, and switching to “proactive”

rather than “reactive” strategies. “I predicted four or five years ago they would whack these gangs big time because I knew what the police were putting into place,” Plecas said. One tool was the CSFEU that draws on municipal police forces from around the province to focus on gang activity. Whelan said putting away leaders of the Red Scorpion and UN gangs — last month UN co-founder Doug Vanalstine pleaded guilty to drug conspiracy charges, landing him behind bars where Chilliwackraised co-founder Clay Roueche has

been residing since February, 2011 — has made others skittish about stepping up to be the new leaders. Roueche was sentenced to 30 years in jail; Vanalstine to 12 years. In Abbotsford, once called the “murder capital” with 35 dead in 2009, Bacon brothers Jamie and Jarrod, associated with the Red Scorpions, were arrested in 2009 and now the latter is serving a 12-year-sentence on drug charges and the former is in jail facing murder charges in the Surrey Six case.

New tactics explored to unclog crowded hospitals Jeff Nagel Black Press Fraser Health officials say they’re taking new steps to reduce hospital congestion after the release of findings of a review by an independent expert panel. One of the new methods includes having home care staff based at emergency departments to intercept incoming elderly patients who can be redirected back home and treated there with sufficient home support, according to Marc Pelletier, Fraser’s vice-president of clinical operations. “They can be discharged home with a commitment of home care

resources that might be visiting two hours later at that person’s home,” he said. Pelletier said that’s one of a number of ongoing strategies Fraser is exploring to try to limit the number of people who are admitted to hospital and reduce the average length of time they stay there. Modest gains in various areas could translate into a huge number of patients across the system, helping cut congestion. Despite hopes for a silver bullet solution, the Fraser Health Congestion Review Panel said in a report released in June it “couldn’t identify any significant gaps” in the region’s patient

access and flow strategies. It did suggest potential improvements to explore in several areas. Hospital staff were concerned about the quality of care they could give patients in overflow situations who are routinely treated in hallways, the report said, but many care workers “had a sense of resignation about these conditions as intractable.” The report was released at the same time Health Minister Mike de Jong directed Fraser to pursue measurable improvements in five key areas to reduce hospital congestion within 150 days. One of the numbers de Jong wants to see drop is the roughly 100

patients across Fraser Health who at any given time are being treated in hallways or other areas not designed for clinical care. The second target area is a drop in C. difficile infections, where alarmingly high rates of the bacteria-spread illness prompted the health region send roving “super clean” teams from hospital to hospital earlier this year. The enhanced cleaning and handwashing strategies are paying off, Pelletier said. “We’re seeing a reduction in C difficile to the lowest rates we’ve seen in a long time.” That should help on the congestion front because patients with hos-

pital-acquired infections tend to stay in hospital longer. Other minister-set targets include a cut in the average length of patient stay in hospital, an increase in the percentage of admitted ER patients getting a hospital bed within 10 hours; and a goal of treating 90 per cent of broken hip cases within 48 hours. Pelletier said he isn’t concerned the new initiatives might push patients out of hospital too soon, adding staff are “very sensitive to discharging people inappropriately.” The expert panel interviewed more than 500 staff and focused on Surrey Memorial and Royal Columbian hospitals.

Chilliwack Restorative Justice making its mark “There’s no strong desire to be the new leader because they know they’ll be the target” of police attention, Whelan said. And Plecas said the same “in your face” police strategy is making the gang lifestyle less appealing to “wannabe” gang members. “There’s no question in my mind, the single biggest reason is the police and the change in the way they do business,” he said. “If we want gang membership to drop — be in their face non-stop, commit the resources to get convictions, and it works every time. There’s no magic to it,” he said. For instance, West Vancouver police have a strategy called “ExtraMile Policing” in which “target teams” of police officers spend most of their time outside West Van knocking on suspected gang members’ doors in Chilliwack, Hope and other Fraser Valley communities. “Anybody they suspect is instantly under surveillance, and they will come visit them,” Plecas said, a tactic of “making life so difficult” that “negative contacts” with the police have dropped by 59 per cent. In Chilliwack, the prolific offender program does much the same thing. Once a “prolific” offender is identified, he gets a visit from the RCMP in which it is explained he can either change his ways — or eventually find himself back in jail. An offer to help the offender with whatever is leading him into crime — is made. Sometimes, the offender simply leaves the community. But the effect of the program, part of a three-pronged “proactive” crime reduction strategy started in 2008, is less crime over-all. A 24 per cent decrease in property crimes, including business break-and-enters, theft from vehi-

cle, theft of vehicle and theft over $5,000 was seen in the first year of the strategy, three to five per cent in the following two years, and a 10 percent decrease last year. The strategy includes the “hotspots” program where areas of higher crime incidents are identified by a crime analyst, and the area “flooded” with police resources to drive out the perpetrators. RCMP Supt. Keith Robinson, head of the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment, said he believes the heat on offenders is turning young people off the gang lifestyle, “although we’re not targeting youth in that regard.” That’s where Chilliwack’s restorative justice program — also highly praised by Plecas - comes into play. Young, first-time offenders of non-violent crimes meet their victims through the program, make apologies, pay restitution and perform community service work instead of going to court. Fewer repeat crimes after the restorative justice experience than those who go court. “Chilliwack’s restorative justice is as good as it gets,” Plecas said. But he called for an expanded program — and more funding — to include more adults and those accused of serious crimes. Plecas said the way to continue holding the gangs at bay is to maintain funding, but there is talk of cutbacks now that murders on B.C. streets have waned and gang leaders are behind bars. “If we were really smart, we wouldn’t be doing that,” he warned. Maintaining police funding now will save the government money, he said, and continue winning the war on crime. “It always comes back to the same issue — committing the resources,” he said. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Comfort Class - Style Selection

Ice cream kiosk becomes destination spot Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Sweet, frozen ice cream. Is there any taste that better represents the Dog Days of summer? Frosty’s Ice Cream at Cultus Lake is thrilled to be celebrating its 10th anniversary this season, says owner Wendy Croshaw. “It’s been busy,” she says. “We’re in a lake resort area here at Cultus, so ice cream works.” The sheer indulgence of ice cream tends to give people the warm and fuzzies — often with a pleasant whiff of nostalgia for summers gone by. The owners bought the old horseriding business Funland about 10 years ago, and launched the ice cream venture at the same time, across from the Cultus Lake Water Slides. They started with just 18 flavours.

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. “Over the years, ice cream grew to become the staple of our business,” she says. Now Frosty’s proudly serves up a whopping 55 flavours, sourced from several different suppliers. “We offer the most flavours in the Fraser Valley,” she boasts. “And almost all of them are great.” If a flavour isn’t doing that well or it turns out to taste worse than it sounds, say like the N.Y. Chocolate Cheesecake recently, it gets dropped.

“The more time we spend developing the business, the better it gets.” The local kids get treated well, too, she says, and some of the kids of her long-time customers end up with a scoop in their hands for the summer as a first job. And oh so many flavours to choose from. They carve out generous scoops of hard ice cream into regular or waffle cones. To offer even quicker Continued: COOL/ p11

Park across from city hall to get reflecting pool The Progress Over the years Chilliwack residents may have enjoyed looking at the attractive little park maintained by city staff on Young Road across from city hall. Sometimes wedding photos are taken there because of its striking esthetic appeal. But very few motorists or passersby are likely to be aware the green space has a name — Skelton Park. Turns out the old fountain in the centre is cracked, and the structure has been settling for years, say city officials. An invitation to tender went out last week from City of Chilliwack for the redevelopment of Skelton Park. The fountain will be removed as part of the project, and a reflecting pool is going in its stead, with new path-

ways to be built around the new feature. The contractor being sought with the latest tender will be responsible for the complete redevelopment of the landscaped site, along with a provisional, or optional structure, like a trellis. The work includes the provision of all materials, equipment and services, including labour, site preparation, drainage, installation and landscape work necessary to complete the Redevelopment of Skelton Park, located at 8535 Young Road, according to the bid specifications. Bidders will be handing in a schedule with proposals, so the construction timeline will be known when the successful one is selected, said city staff. The tender closes on Aug. 8.

Transparency and openness have been promised by an allparty committee responsible for B.C. MLAs’ expenses after auditor general John Doyle was critical of their sloppy bookkeeping. Beginning this fall, Chilliwack’s MLAs and their 81 colleagues will provide more detailed accounts of their expenses every four months instead of annual totals, and in August will open up their meetings to the public. Anyone who is interested will be able to sort through a range of expenses, including receipts for goods and services, and while it doesn’t mean less money will be spent, more scrutiny could curb wasteful practices. Still, it’s shocking that it has taken so long — and required a public shaming — for the MLAs to open their books to the public. There appears to be an all-party sense of entitlement about MLA expenses that can no longer be tolerated, not to mention concern about what might have been missed if Doyle hadn’t raised the alarm. ~ Black Press

Many special moments in the Olympics so far At the London Olympics we got off to a terrific early start. Four years ago in Beijing, it took Canada nine days to win the first medal. In London, it was just 48 hours after the Opening Ceremony when Emilie Heymans and Jennifer Abel won bronze in the 3m synchronized diving. Their win provided huge momentum for Canada’s Olympic team and, to boot, 30-year-old Heymans set a record for the history books as the first female diver to win a medal in four consecutive Olympic Games. These gems are what make the Olympics so special. Their win got the podium hopefuls pumped. Over the next three days Canada’s place in the medal count went from 30th to 11th with two silver and five bronze. Our rowers were incredible, the men’s eight and the women’s

eight each bringing home the silver. At the time of writing, we’re on track to (hopefully) finish in the top twelve in terms of medal count out of 205 countries represented by over 10,000 athletes in 300 events. In Beijing we won 18 medals (three gold, nine silver, and six Margaret bronze) which put EVANS us in 15th place. We were actually tied with Spain in medal numbers but since their gold medal haul was five to our three they earned the overall 14th place. Beijing was actually our third best ever. We won 22 medals in Atlanta in 1996 and a staggering 44 (10 gold, 18 silver, and 16 bronze) medals in Los Angeles in 1984

when our largest team ever was 436 athletes. Local athletes have graced the podium in London. Weightlifter Christine Girard, born in White Rock and now living in Quebec, lifted 236 kg to win her bronze medal on Tuesday. Mission resident Brent Hayden won bronze for the 100m freestyle swim in a time of 47.80, a best ever Olympic performance for Canada. But there have been upsets. Langley’s three-day eventer Hawley Bennett-Awad was thrown from her horse Gin & Juice during the cross country phase and taken to hospital with a concussion and pelvic fracture. Her horse rolled on her in the nasty tumble. Bennett-Awad, who trains in California, was raised in Langley and rode frequently at Chilliwack’s Island 22 Three Day Events.

Multi-talented Clara Hughes, the only athlete in histor y to win multiple medals in both the Summer and the Winter Olympics, decided to retire after her 5th place finish in the cycling time-trial event. Just months before her 40th birthday and just months after a serious and painful back injury, Hughes drew a graceful finish line in the sand after an amazing life as an Olympian. Everything she accomplished was with humility and gratitude and she will always be remembered as one of our greatest athletes. As intense as Olympic competition gets, the Games have been such fun to watch starting with the glittering Opening Ceremony.

matriarch of the Stiff Upper Lip crowd would ever do a James Bond gig? She’s spent the last 60 years perfecting the no smile zone. And no head of state has ever appeared in a skit to open an Olympic event. Apparently, though, she was thrilled to have been asked to be involved. According to director Danny (Slumdog Millionaire) Boyle she made herself more accessible than ever before and performed her single line “Good Evening, Mr. Bond” like a pro. That had to have been a wow moment for Craig walking the corridors of Buckingham Palace behind the Queen, corgis in tow, toward the helicopter for a parachute ‘landing’ in the stadium.

Super Hero Night

Class reunion leaves a glow ~ Kahlil Gibran

I recently had the pleasure of attending my 30th high school grad reunion (CSSS ’82). A classmate works for the Chilliwack School District and was able to open up our old school for an afternoon tour. I understand that this is the final year the old building will be in use and it will be demolished when the new school is complete. Thirty years disappeared as I wandered up and down the hallways, the old cafeteria, the gym, Ms. Morris’ classroom. I took in the photos of all the grad classes lining the walls and the amazing history

of that school. My Mom was in the class of ’62, my sisters in the early ’90s. I met up with old classmates and reconnected with someone that had grown up on the same street. She had her parents with her so that she could take a picture of the actual place they had met in school, as they had been high school sweethearts in 1958. The plans for the new school are impressive, but I hope there will be a place for some of the old photos and artifacts of CSSS. At the social later in the evening, a classmate shared a toast that thanked many people. He thanked the reunion committee who did a fabulous job organizing the event. But he also thanked two groups of people who were not in attendance and so I hope that this letter is published so that they might read that they

were acknowledged and appreciated. He thanked our parents for choosing such a great community to raise their children and how all of us had enjoyed the benefits of growing up in Chilliwack. He also thanked all the dedicated teachers who had inspired us. Of course there were some jokes about sitting in the vice-principal’s office, counting ceiling tiles, as minutes seemed like hours. (But when you start a food fight in the cafeteria, what do you expect?!) Teachers, you did make a difference in our lives! Thank you CSSS ’82 Reunion Committee, thank you teachers, administrators and support staff of CSSS and thank you District of Chilliwack. Margaret Geddes Langley, BC

With rehab unit closure, home care needs more support I applaud your articles resisting the closure of the Sub-Acute unit on fifth floor Chilliwack General Hospital. I add some very important reasons why this decision is very wrong, and hard to cope with. 1. There are several excellent Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists on their staff. If the unit must be closed I want to see a promise that these skilled people will all be transferred to the staff of Home Care. 2. Physiotherapists and Occupational Therapists give treatments at least twice a day, to all patients, on the Sub-Acute unit. At least 20 people benefit daily. Thousands have recovered remarkably well. My brother

and sister have been patients several times on this unit and the previous unit, that was also on fifth floor. My sister was there for serious fractures that were slow healing, and my brother after strokes. I saw many other people receive a variety of excellent rehabilitative treatments. Patient satisfaction was remarkable. The lack of turnover of staff indicates that they had job satisfaction. 3. Are there health care funds to take 10 or 20 people to Abbotsford daily for these treatments? Would elderly and disabled people have the stamina, time and funds to travel daily to Abbotsford? It would take half a day or more to get there and back

- for a 20 minute treatment. Instead of two or three kinds of treatments a day they would get one. Instead of treatments twice a day, they would have to make do with treatments once a week. Recovery of full function would be very much less likely. 4. Are there 20 or 30 extra beds on a comparable unit in Abbotsford, for Chilliwack people who have had strokes or serious fractures, needing treatment for two weeks or two months each? 5. Home care staffing is already minimal. One person living alone, needing help with his/ her bath, gets one bath a week. If there are two people in the same apartment there can be two visits a week.

If the government must stretch their health care funding, then let them cut back all the salaries that are more than $100,000 per year. No CEO, Administrator or Manager needs more than that. Most of the disabled and elderly exist on $10,000 to $20,000 per year. The Advisory Board members don’t need remuneration. They already have more than adequate incomes.

News

ASU closure could bring changes ASU from Front When news of the closure broke in April, Strahl said the loss of jobs was “not easy to pass along” to employees, but the Conservative government had to “balance military needs” as Canadian troops came home from Afghanistan with saving taxpayers’ dollars. But the union is saying the loss of 18 jobs at the ASU will have a direct impact on the community, and have a “huge impact” on local charities. “You remove those salaries, and the impact on their families spills over to the whole community,” Miller said. The Progress has learned the annual wages lost will total about $930,000. The ASU building itself and the property it sits on will be retained by the military for use by reserve units from New Westminster, by military police and by members of the 39 Combat Engineers Regiment, currently

located in the “1041 building” nearby. With the move of the 39 CER, the 1041 building will be turned over as military surplus to the Canada Lands Company, which redeveloped most of the former CFB Chilliwack for residential use. The 1041 building

was renovated just this year, but at what cost was not immediately available. The University of the Fraser Valley may be interested in acquiring the property, located directly behind its Trades & Technology Centre in the Canada Education Park.

The RCMP’s Pacific Region Training Centre, also located in the education park, may be interested in the property as well, but officials there were also unavailable for comment. The ASU is slated for closure in fiscal 2013/14. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Intriguing sounding flavours include: Blueberry Cheesecake, Apple Pie, Creme Brulée and all kinds of Moose Tracks, like brownie, mint and regular.

Bartel 604.702.5575 • kbartel@theprogress.com

Karen Cayen, co-owner of Aromatica Fine Teas has partnered with Miss World Canada, Tara Teng, in creating Freedom Tea, which was made specifically as an ongoing fundraiser for the International Justice Mission, a human rights organization that works to secure justice for victims of violent oppression. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Fighting for freedom with tea Katie Bartel The Progress Stick your nose into a canister of Freedom Tea and be prepared to have your senses shocked full of the most pungent lemon scent around. “That’s freedom,” smiled Karen Cayen, co-owner of Aromatica Fine Teas and Soaps. Freedom Tea is a fundraiser, created by Aromatica, in conjunction with Miss World Canada, Tara Teng, of Langley, that supports anti-sexual exploitation initiatives. A cause Cayen couldn’t get behind fast enough. Two years ago, when Cayen was made aware of the sex trade industry in Chilliwack, she was horrified. She had no idea there was a whole community of women, some as young as 14, working the streets.

She had no idea Chilliwack youth were being recruited at school, local convenience stores, and online. She had no idea Chilliwack was home to illegal brothels. But once she found out, she knew she couldn’t just sit idly by. “I didn’t want to just bring awareness to the issue, I needed to do something,” she said. It’s not surprising Cayen felt an instant connection with Teng shortly after. For several years, Teng, a young “abolitionist” – who’s currently competing for Miss Universe in China – has been a strong advocate against human trafficking. She’s launched campaigns to end rape and help the racially oppressed in third-world countries; she’s served children in the projects of Brooklyn; has been a regular fixture helping the homeless on the

Downtown Eastside in Vancouver; has worked with politicians, musicians, and other such advocates speaking out against racial oppression, gender inequality, modernday slavery and social justice. She’s also the face behind Aromatica’s Freedom Tea. “Tara’s making things happen,” said Cayen. “She’s not just talking about bringing awareness to the issue, she’s actually out there doing something about it.” And Aromatica’s Freedom Tea is supporting the cause. For every one pound bag sold, $10 goes to the International Justice Mission, a human rights organization that secures justice and aftercare for victims of violent oppression. So far, it’s raised almost $500. “That’s almost 50 pounds of tea sold,” said Cayen. “That’s a lot of

tea.” And this isn’t a tea that was just thrown together, and passed off as freedom, there was an intense development process involved. It started with a question posed on Teng’s Facebook page – What does freedom taste like? – which produced a rapid succession of responses including bold, fresh, citrusy, smooth. “My challenge was to come up with a flavour that represented all that,” said Cayen. A day of tea combinations and tweaks resulted in four different samples for Teng to try. The one that won over her palate was a green and red rooibos blend with lemon myrtle, lemon verbena, lemongrass and a hint of vanilla. “To me, it’s fresh and inviting and lemony – it’s bursting with flavour,” said Cayen, who knew

off the hop the flavour that would best represent freedom was lemon myrtle. “It was pretty clear it needed to be something citrusy, and lemon myrtle was the best element that could speak to that.” Using rooibos was no mistake either. While the rooibos blend was chosen for its flavour and antioxidant qualities, the fact its origins stem from Africa, home of the historic slave trade, adds to the tea’s features. “It has a synergy about it,” said Cayen. Freedom Tea is available at Aromatica Fine Teas on Young Road.

Celebrating 140 years of agriculture

JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

Chilliwack Fair: Fun for the whole family Fun will be the key word at this year’s Chilliwack Fair, says fair director Nancy Spratt – fun for the whole family. “This year there is tons of free and affordable family activities such as the Grinder, the Creation Station, and Party Works Interactive,” says Spratt.

Agriculture ... vital to our community AGRICULTURE IS AT THE CORE OF CHILLIWACK’S ECONOMIC SUCCESS It is our history, our tradition and our future. Agriculture is vital to our community as it represents 29 % of Chilliwack’s economic activity.

The Creation Station, located in Building 2, is new to the fair this year. It’s a place where kids can let their imaginations run as they take part in a series of organized crafts. They’ll even have an opportunity to “get growing” as they plant and take home their own seedling in a biodegradable pot.

The Grinder, a series of militarystyle obstacle challenges, is also new this year. The event, hosted by the Chilliwack Hospital and Health Care Foundation, offers a test for the whole family as they complete a boot-camp style course. Continued: WATER/ p15

The roots of the Chilliwack Fair run deep in the community. Led by the Chilliwack and District Agricultural Society, the fair’s history stretches back 140 years to the formation of the society. That makes it the second longest continuously running fair in the province. The fair was originally located downtown, first in the area of Wellington and Mary Streets. Later, in 1909, it moved to Corbould and Spadina. In 2000, it moved to its current location at Heritage Park. The fair was only one of the responsibilities of the agricultural society, which is one of the oldest ag societies in the province. According to Paul Ferguson of the Chilliwack Museum and Archives, its role was also to promote and enhance agricultural efforts in the community. “It was actively involved in the improvement of crops and livestock,” writes Ferguson in The Chilliwack Story, “and lobbied government for advancement of farming in general.” That effort continues today, with the Chilliwack Fair committed to keeping agriculture – and its importance to the community – in the fore. Says Ed Hinkley, president of the Chilliwack Agriculture Society: “The fair will not only show the history of the agricultural practices our community was built on, but will feature present day agricultural standards, equipment and changed that have taken place to get us here. “From steam engines to robotic milkers, there’s something for everybody,” Hinkley says. The 140th annual Chilliwack Fair runs Aug. 10-12 at Heritage Park in Chilliwack.

The Atchelitz Threshermen’s Association will be demonstrating how harvesting was done years ago at this year’s Chilliwack Fair, Aug. 10-12.

Walking on water WATER from p14 Partyworks Interactive Amusements will be bringing their unique assortment of activities. One popular hit that drew crowds at last year’s PNE, is Walk on Water. It’s a chance to climb inside an inflated ball and negotiate your way

across a pool of water. There are other events – 11 stations in all. See how far you can run harnessed to a bungee cord. Challenge your friend to a joust. Or see if you can find your way out of the corn maze. “It’s a fun bunch of equipment,” says Spratt.

Getting young people involved in agriculture has been an important part of the Chilliwack Fair for generations. A key component of that involvement is the Chilliwack Schools Garden Program, which has been in existence since 1904. Now, more than a century later, the program still draws up to 300 young gardeners every year. Work begins in the early spring as students (public, independent, or home schooled,) Geoff Stoner, a kindergarten student at FG leary School, shows off the begin planting and vegetables he grew as part of the Chilliwack Schools Garden Program. tending their vegeta- He, along with other kids can enter the fruit of their labours in the ble crops.

CHILLIWACK FAIR

LONG DAYS – The Chilliwack Fair hosts the largest 4-H gathering in BC this weekend, featuring young people and their animals from across the province. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

COLOURING

CONTEST CHILLIWACK

Four-legged fun at the fair More than 350 young people will descend on Chilliwack this week to take part in the largest 4-H show in the province. It’s part of an impressive livestock lineup at this year’s 140th annual Chilliwack Fair. The 4-H portion of the event features displays from clubs from across B.C. The displays are a culmination of the work the young people have done throughout the year to gain a deeper knowledge of their particular areas of interest, whether that’s rabbits, dogs or dairy cows. Got a question? The young people are always happy to talk to the public about their animal projects. But the kids aren’t the only ones with livestock. Building 3 offers sheep, llamas and miniature horses. While Building 4 is full of Jersey and Holstein dairy cows and beef cattle, ready to compete for top prize in the show ring. Horse lovers will find gymkhana and the Open Horse Show in the outdoor sand rings. The 140th Chilliwack Fair runs Aug. 10-12 at Heritage Park.

Classic Canadian rockers Jerry Doucette and Prism will headline entertainment on Saturday night at the 140th annual Chilliwack Fair.

This year’s menu includes the World Freestyle Skateboarding Round Up and a roller derby bout featuring the local NWO Roller Girls versus the Haney Hooligans. “We’re hoping to provide an event that attracts people who normally wouldn’t come,” said Ag society president Ed Hinkley said. “We’ve got things we hope will appeal to the younger demographic, to young families.” This year a free shuttle will also be offered from Party in Park downtown to the fair on Aug. 10.

Old Man Mackie (red jersey) gets taped up by one of the Huskers’ athletic trainers before a Tuesday night practice. Travis Mackie is beginning his final season of junior football eligibility. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

to the Huskers four years ago as a graduate of Centennial High School in Calgary, he had everything figured out. His Coyotes didn’t even lose once when he was there. “Life in football isn’t always easy, and that’s a lesson I learned right away,” he said. “It was easy in high school where I didn’t have to work much at all. But here, you’ve got to have work ethic and good character. Lots of people want to be a football star, but they don’t want to go the gym or take all those little steps to make it happen. Playing junior football has been an eye opener in a lot of ways, but that’s the biggest.” Mackie’s final BCFC season will see him moving from the line to the backfield, lining up at fullback. St. James is a believer in smashmouth power football, and Mackie will be charged with clearing holes for the tailback. His basic job description is ‘seek and destroy.’ “Each coach has kind of tried me there in the

past, but I always ended up moving back to the D-line,” he said. “You get a few more bumps and bruises, but I also get the ball once in a while, which is great. When I get it, I’m just asked to run straight forward, just power it up the gut.” At some point, St. James might even ask the big fella to swing out of the backfield for a pass. “I’ve been working on my hands this off-season,” Mackie said, lighting up at the thought. As the Huskers prepare for their home opener (Aug. 6 at 2 p.m. versus the Westshore Rebels), Mackie has it in mind to make his last season his best. He believes in his teammates and coaches, and hopes the Huskers are finally ready to do some damage. “There’s hope around town for a turnaround and I think it’s justified,” he said. “I definitely sense a lot of players working a lot harder than they ever did before. It’s something that didn’t happen in the past and it’s really good to see.”

Crusher coming to Rosedale The Popkum Motor Park in Rosedale has set up two motocross schools with the Campbell River Crusher, Dusty Klatt. The owner of multiple national championships will run the schools Aug. 25-26, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. The schools will be available to a maximum of 20 riders at a cost of $150 plus tax. Registrants will get a signed poster, a training tips booklet and a chance to win a signed Klatt jersey, right off his back. “All of us at Popkum Motor Park are beside ourselves to be the

first to host a motocross school in the Lower Mainland, with a professional of such calibre as Dusty,” said PMP’s Scott Poniuk. “Being his choice to host this school is a major vote of confidence for our newly redesigned facility. This school will be simply awesome and worth every dollar.” The track is located at 54500 Bridal Falls Road. It recently underwent a $1,000,000-plus renovation that gives it two motocross tracks for small and big bikes. Klatt is eager to test it out.

“It’s great to have the chance to finally put on this school in the Lower Mainland, and it is long overdue,” he said. “Mike (Muller) and his crew have done nothing short of move mountains to make the facility a reality. It’s a great thing for our sport and I am totally excited to be able to have the chance to do a school there.” Klatt races for Team Yamaha Red Bull Blackfoot Fox Racing.

PERCY Ilene Marjorie nee Rice It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved wife, mother, grandPERCY mother, aunt, cousin and friend on Tuesday, July 17, 2012 at MSA Hospital in Abbotsford after battling a lengthy illness. Born in the small rural town of Craven, Saskatchewan she met her life mate Elwood Percy and they followed the propane industry around Saskatchewan before moving to British Columbia in 1964, with sons Darryl & Kim and daughter Debra. Predeceased by infant son Robin, her parents Orval and Dora Rice and sister Madge, she is survived by husband Elwood, son Darryl (Edie), son Kim (Judy), daughter Debra, grandchildren Robin, Jesse, Jena, Josh, Kristen, Kody and Katlin, great grandchildren Trinity, John and Brea, sisters Carol (Norm), Dorothy (Curl), Gladys, Lillian (Lloyd) and brother Gordon (Elaine) along with numerous nieces and nephews. She was the consummate hostess and will be fondly remembered for her and EJ’s Sunday morning breakfasts that were always open to any family and friends who could get out of bed for the 8:00 am serving. Her roast beef dinners brought all the family home on a regular basis. We could always count on her to provide the time and place for friend & family get togethers and to lift our spirits with plentiful food, drink and so many desserts and sweets. Mom was a proud supporter and always there for her kids and then again for her grandchildren at early morning hockey practices, soccer games, ball games, ringette, lacrosse, karate, dance and countless school functions. She also enjoyed her multitude of gardens as well as her winter getaways down south with EJ and many friends. The family wishes to thank Dr. Miller, Dr. Grayling, Andrea, Susan and Anita along with all the staff of the Palliative Care Unit at the MSA Hospital for their patience, kindness and understanding throughout Mom’s brief stay. Also, a special thanks to Dr. Bale for his compassion and caring manner. At Mom’s request there will be a private memorial for family members and friends at the Ramada Inn, 36035 North Parallel Road, Abbotsford, on Thursday September 20, 2012 from 1:00 pm until 4:00 pm. In lieu of ﬂowers the family requests that donations be made in her memory to the Dr. Stuart Pavilion at the Mission General Hospital.
