End of an era as Minter Gardens set to close Garden centre will remain open, but this will be the final season for the famous show garden Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Shock is still rippling across Chilliwack. Minter Gardens will close its doors later this year — apparently done in by declining tourism numbers and climate change. The Minters announced Tuesday it is “with mixed feelings” that they are closing and selling the sprawling 32-acre show gardens at the foot of Mt. Cheam in Rosedale. “Minter Gardens has been a huge part of our lives,” said Brian Minter, who co-owns the property with wife and business partner, Faye Minter. It’s been exceedingly “difficult” to make the final decision. “It was a once-in-a-lifetime dream to create one of the most beautiful gardens in the world. Few people have the opportunity to live out their dreams so we consider ourselves truly blessed.” Minter Gardens will officially close its doors on Monday, October 14, 2013. The decision does not impact the Country Garden Store location on Young Road in Chilliwack, which will continue operations. Since opening in 1980, Minter Gardens became a destination for garden fans. In good years, there would be 10,000 people through the gates. “The attraction has felt the pressure of declining tourism and a changing climate that offers up more cold, rainy days than the abundantly sunny ones that attract visitors to the grounds,” Minter says. “Together, these factors have significantly impacted the longterm viability of operating an outdoor destination garden.” Continued: MINTER/ p4

Closure of Minter Gardens felt across Chilliwack Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

The news of the impending closure of Minter Gardens later this year is hitting Chilliwack leaders hard. Tourism Chilliwack head Brian Coombes said the gardens will be exceedingly hard to replace from a destination point of view. “It will be just a tremendous loss for the entire tourism industry, not only in the Fraser Valley but across all of B.C.,” he said. “A world-class

garden attraction that welcomed guests for 33 years is not something easily replaced.” The family showed great leadership and initiative. “The Minters were pioneers in tourism for the region in the 1980s. They had the vision to create something spectacular; that would be a draw for the entire Fraser Valley. They led the way in a number of ways from the attraction to marketing. “The gardens became iconic and to have them close will be

significant.” CEPCO president John Jansen called the decision “a loss not only for the community but for the entire province.” Minter Gardens was the kind of stellar attraction that Jansen would regularly send visitors to without hesitation. “As a large attraction in beautiful surroundings, the natural ambiance was absolutely wonderful,” he said. When Brian Minter told Jansen he would be shutting down the

gardens come fall, Jansen said it made him quite emotional. “The location had so much going for it, it was just perfect. But it’s understandable that if you can’t make ends meet, you can’t survive.” It is hoped efforts will be successful at making the site viable for another enterprise in the future. “I don’t know what they’re planning to do exactly, but certainly we would be willing to help out in whatever way we could.” Continued: GARDEN/ p4

FVRD demands answers from Metro Van reps Alina Konevski The Progress

Directors of the Fraser Valley Regional District accused Metro Vancouver of creating a waste management plan that ensures a steady stream of capital and fuel to Metro’s planned $500 million Waste-to-Energy incineration facility. “The main discussion around (waste) flow control is because you’re going to need it to feed your incinerator,” Chilliwack mayor and FVRD board chair Sharon Gaetz told Richmond mayor Malcolm

Brodie, chair of Metro’s Zero Waste Committee. “You’re going to need it to pay the $500 million that it will cost to be able to build that incinerator. Tell us, is that true? Is that not true? And if it’s not true, you better give us a pretty good explanation.” As presented to FVRD’s board on Tuesday, Metro Vancouver wants to regulate where garbage haulers dump their waste, in order to prevent an outflow of garbage to nearby landfills with cheaper tipping fees. A private transfer station in Abbotsford is a prime destination for Metro waste, accounting

for much of the estimated 50,000 tons of garbage that is already being trucked out of Vancouver each year. Metro plans to divert 70 per cent of its waste through recycling and composting by 2015, and 80 per cent by 2020. The region currently diverts 57 per cent. With such high diversion rates, Metro would need to ensure that it has enough revenue to fund its waste management services. The region could accomplish this by stemming garbage outflow, and by raising landfill tipping fees from the current $107 per ton, to $151

per ton by 2017. Tipping fees within the FVRD stand at $75 per ton. “To be able to push the tipping fees that high and control that garbage gives everybody the message that you’re trying to find a way to be able to keep feeding the beast,” said Gaetz, referring to Metro’s planned WTE incinerator. Items most easily diverted from incineration, being plastics, organics, and wood and paper, also generate the most energy when burned, leaving FVRD vice-chair and Abbotsford city councilor Patricia Ross to wonder what there will be left to burn.

Abbotsford mayor and FVRD director Bruce Banman accused Metro of seeking to monopolize the market on garbage in order to fund and fuel the planned WTE facility. “I look at the current government that we have in the province of British Columbia, and I am thankful that they will have a say in this because I can’t imagine a freeenterprise saying that you guys get a monopoly,” said Banman. “I don’t know how you’re going to explain to all your taxpayers that they’re going to be clipped an extra 50 Continued: METRO/ p15

The carnival rides are always a big draw, while the rest of the grounds will be chock-a-block with kiosks staffed by local clubs, non-profits and associations. Community booths will open at 10 a.m. and the main stage entertainers start then too. Bring a picnic lunch or enjoy the food vendors on-site. It’s the second year in a row the event is staged at the old Ag-Rec site. When the Progress conducted an online poll last year about the move, readers voted 2:1 to say they preferred it at The Landing, rather than Heritage Park, said Hudson. Every year the organizers devise a new theme for the event and this year it’s transportation.

“Transit and busing has been an issue in Chilliwack and on the minds of people, so we thought transportation would be a good theme.” Look for a Search and Rescue vehicle, school bus, and bucket truck, along with vehicles from Chilliwack Tax and Mertin Hyundai. Some classic cars will be parked nearby, heavy equipment from the military and even the Zamboni used to condition the ice for the Chilliwack Chiefs. There will be a chance to ride the Rotary train, free skating and Zamboni rides at the Prospera Centre, free swimming at the Leisure Centre. For bike enthusiasts, head over to the Takeover 2 event run by The Truth at Prospera Skate Park, noon to 4 p.m. with a barbecue, music and prizes. For anyone curious about the game of tennis, they can

hit a few balls. Or maybe pickle ball, lacrosse and roller derby are more appealing, and demos are planned for those activities. The entertainment stage is shifting to a spot behind the curling club, since the grandstand area will be closed while the installation of the new artificial turf is underway. The Youth Rocks lineup of acts by Tractorgrease Studios runs on stage from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. and then the main stage show runs 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. The ever popular fireworks display starts after 10 p.m. from Townsend Park.

LONGFELLOW’S F U R N I T U R E & M AT T R E S S E S

The possibility that a new waste-to-energy incinerator might be built on Vancouver Island has caused a stir among Nanaimo-area politicians who fear Metro Vancouver’s garbage may be shipped their way. Nanaimo Regional District area A director Alec McPherson told Black Press he’s “very concerned” the incinerator might be built at Duke Point, south of Nanaimo. No specific proposal has been made public for that part of the island. But Metro Vancouver officials have notified all Vancouver Island regional districts that the search for prospective sites includes their regions. Municipalities, regional districts, other branches of government and private property owners can all step forward and propose their land as a potential host site for the new wasteto-energy plant. Locations both inside Metro Vancouver and outside the region must be fairly considered, according to an environment ministry directive. A short list of potential sites is to be drawn up by November. One potential site on the far side of Vancouver Island is a former pulp mill at Gold River, which would require Metro waste to be barged all the way around the island. A Nanaimo-area site would offer much closer shipping, and might require no barging at all if garbage loads were instead sent via Tsawwassen-Duke Point ferries. Fraser Valley Regional District directors are strongly opposed to the construction of any new garbage incinerator in the Lower Mainland, citing the risk of increased air pollution in the constrained Valley airshed. Fraser Valley politicians have said they would have no such grounds to object to a remote incineration site like Gold River. But what about Nanaimo? “That would not be in our airshed,” FVRD vice-chair Patricia Ross said. Continued: WTE/ p13

Garden will be missed GARDEN from Front Mayor Sharon Gaetz said it was sad for her on both a personal and professional level, as a retired pastor. “I conducted many weddings in Minter Gardens and I know just how stunningly beautiful it was.” She acknowledged the loss of it on a tourism infrastructure level for the region. “But looking at it from a practical point of view, like that of the Minters, they also gave the gardens 33 wonderful years, and they worked hard to make all of Chilliwack proud.” People from all over the world have told the mayor how much they enjoyed the verdant wonder that is Minter Gardens. “I know it was not a decision they made lightly,” Gaetz said. “Brian has been a very vocal advocate for horticulture in our community.” She’s relieved the store and green-

houses on Young Road will remain, and that Minter is still involved with UFV, and the school of agriculture. “I know we will still be able to use his expertise. Brian is one of only four to have received the Order of Chilliwack, and he is highly esteemed and respected.” The Order of Chilliwack was created to recognize citizens for outstanding achievement or long term contributions. Minter served as the first Chancellor of the University of the Fraser Valley, as a board member of Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation and as the Chair of Tourism Chilliwack, to name a few. While Minter retired as chair of Tourism Chilliwack in 2011, he stayed on the board as past chair. The mayor is resolute about a bright future. “Let’s see what Phase 2 brings,” Gaetz added. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Minter Gardens began with a dream MINTER from Front And that was always the dream, to make it a destination, so the world would beat a path to its doors. The story of the birth of Minter Gardens is almost as charming as its exquisite flowering displays. Brian and Faye were on their way to visit family in Harrison in the late 1970s. They got off the main road, and took in the scene of what would later become the sweeping garden showpiece.

Tall, native trees rose upward and thousands of wild geraniums, columbine, roses, and bleeding hearts were in abundance. “This should be a garden,” Minter remembers thinking at the time. It was those picturesque sights they took in on that Christmas Day, back in 1977, which sowed the seeds of his garden dream. But it wasn’t easy to bring it to fruition. “At first we were turned down by every major bank in the coun-

try,” Minter says. It was First Heritage Credit Union — now known as Envision — which helped out with financing along the way. They had heard about Minter’s situation and offered to assist, and have been there ever since. But after 9/11, the tourism landscape changed dramatically. The bottom dropped out of the market. “We had worked so hard to get tourists to come to B.C.,” Minter remembers. “After that we lost all our American

The Minters are now working in earnest on the next steps, exploring options where it could be redeveloped in an environmentally and community friendly way to make the “best use” of the natural setting and landscape features. They are trying to do right by those who wanted to hold special events at Minter Gardens in the next year. “Any events booked for the current season will proceed as planned,” said Lisa Minter-Bustin, assistant manager. They have contacted young couples that have expressed interest in hosting weddings at Minter Gardens in 2014 to make other arrangements. “We will of course offer assistance, with their permission, in helping them secure alternate venues for their special days.” Similarly, the Minters will be contacting individuals who purchased commemorative benches in memory of loved ones who have passed. Stay tuned for a series of special days where the Minters will welcome guests to the gardens to help them celebrate as they mark 33 years of beauty.

In fact, the two men were prevented from entering the Echo Room nightclub by staff; that is when the handgun was allegedly pointed at the employees. The two men were arrested shortly after police were called and are now facing several charges. According to RCMP spokesman Cpl.

NDP at a crossroads

The provincial NDP is at a crossroads, and whichever direction it chooses is fraught with challenges. Not only did the party lose an election that almost everyone expected it would win, it lost a number of key ridings, particularly in the Interior and Lower Mainland suburbs. It also lost in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, where Green Party candidate Andrew Weaver was elected. Weaver is a well-known scientist who is articulate and knowledgeable. He will almost certainly help build on the Green Party beachhead which began when national leader Elizabeth May won a Vancouver Island seat in the 2011 federal election. The NDP has much to fear from the Greens, who appeal to many younger and environmentally-minded people. The NDP, by contrast, often has difficulty moving beyond its massive debt to organized labour, which has very conflicting views on the environmental movement. The past election showed that many union members, particularly those whose jobs are related to resource extraction, voted Liberal. The NDP could shift to a more environmentally-based party and leave these voters behind permanently. But if the party did so, they would be playing catch-up with the Greens. Or the NDP could move in the direction of being much more robust in supporting economic development. While this would appeal to a large core of voters, the party would likely be saying goodbye to many of its environmentally-minded voters. The provincial NDP risk being caught in the squeeze that the federal Liberals were in after the 2011 election. The B.C. NDP must decide if Adrian Dix will remain as leader. Dix did not give much indication that he is going to resign, at the weekend provincial council meeting. If he stays on as leader, there is almost certain to be a vicious internal fight within the NDP, which will likely lead to a very divided party. That would leave it in even worse shape to deal with the changes that are in the wind on the provincial political scene. Premier Christy Clark and the BC Liberals are watching the NDP angst with undisguised enthusiasm. ~ Black Press

B.C. V IEWS

Cabinet rookies will be handling hot files VICTORIA – There are nine new faces in Premier Christy Clark’s cabinet, seven of them elected to the B.C. legislature for the first time on May 14. They have been handed some of the hottest problems, and Clark’s marching orders in “mandate letters” for each ministry. And this is the start of a four-year term, when unpopular reforms are attempted. Take Amrik Virk, the former RCMP inspector from Surrey who’s suddenly in charge of advanced education. His mandate includes: “Review the student loan program to make recommendations for improvement to ensure the loan program is meeting the needs of today’s students.” Virk must also set targets to “match the skills we need with the skills we are graduating” and require post-secondary schools to “ensure student seats are being filled.”

B.C. can’t afford to keep cranking out university grads with $50,000 in debt and no job prospects in a system that’s subsidized 65 per cent. Virk will be working closely with Education Minister Peter Fassbender, who must “ensure seamless transitions” from high school to the workTom force for post-secFLETCHER ondary trades and apprenticeships. In his spare time, Fassbender is to overhaul the school district bargaining agency and achieve a 10-year peace with the teachers’ union. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton has worked as a Crown prosecutor, so she’ll have some insight into the system that still grapples with Stanley Cup rioters from two sum-

mers ago. Her orders are to get traffic tickets and other administrative penalties out of the courts, keep working on integrating police fiefdoms and generally treat the constipation that afflicts law enforcement today. Oh, and get that new Okanagan prison built, to relieve a system that has inmates living in tents. And examine whether to spin off the Liquor Distribution Branch into a Crown corporation, a possible prelude to selling it. Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s first test was a grilling by the Vancouver media. Yup, this Kamloops hayseed has been to the Big Smoke a few times, ridden that fancy SkyTrain and taken the odd ferry, too. Now he has to impose the ferry route reductions that have been worked on by two previous ministers, and push Metro Vancouver

through a referendum on ways to fund its own transit. If more tolls or taxes are going to be implemented, now is the time. Coralee Oakes has made a political leap from Quesnel city hall to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. One of her key tasks is to invent a framework for a “rural dividend” from liquefied natural gas development in northwestern B.C. Oakes has to figure out how to “better provide provincial support” to sport and cultural organizations, but do it with no new money. All ministers have strict instructions to balance their lean budgets and take part in the latest “core review” to identify government functions that can be sold, delegated or shut down. New Minister of International Trade Richmond’s Teresa Wat has to find a way to continue the growth of lumber and other exports to

China, India and elsewhere on the Pacific Rim. On top of that, the always-delicate softwood lumber agreement with the U.S. expires in three years. The last major eruption on that front was in 2009, when B.C. cut stumpage rates for remote coastal areas to give communities much-needed employment. The Americans were livid, just as they were with our beetle-kill harvesting efforts. And of course, the U.S.-directed environmental movement continues to target Canadian industries. Third-term MLA John Rustad gets aboriginal relations, with specific instructions to deal with gas and perhaps oil pipelines through his Nechako Lakes constituency.

I am delighted that a letter of mine helped stir thoughts on our petro-dilema and possible solutions. On the personal level, my home is walking distance to stores and services and I have enjoyed cycling for many years. Ted is correct that the health benefits pay off. People who enjoy active mobility tend to burden the health care system less than more sedentary folks. One also feels more connected to the community when able to exchange greetings with neighbours rather than be isolated in a vehicle. Of course I also have a vehicle for those times it’s needed. Organic clothing is more

available and more affordable these days, good alternatives to synthetics and even regular cotton. The Aral Sea shows how harmful cotton production can be. I also enjoy growing some of my own food, though I have a lot to learn in that area. Personal choices only go so far though. We need systemic change to make a real difference. How we design our communities and buildings, how we prioritize road use, efficiency of vehicles, how we generate electricity, how we farm. None of this is a surprise of course. The first scientific paper on the warming effect of CO2 was written by Svante Arrhenius in 1896. One hundred and one years later, in 1997, Canada signed the Kyoto Protocol. Had we begun making changes then,

how far along would we be now? Would we be selling new technology to the rest of the world instead of raw bitumen, logs and LNG? If we start making changes today, when today’s children are adults will they thank us for finally taking responsible action? Conversely, if we continue to increase our dependence on fossil fuels, what will today’s children have to say to us when they reach adulthood? The Union of Concerned Scientists has a plan to cut US oil consumption by half in 20 years. Will Canada be left behind? I hope not. I believe that Canadians have the ingenuity to lead. We just have to learn to value it.

Fraser River needs better protection As a resident of the fine City of Chilliwack, I have the city’s interests at heart. One of the beautiful features of Chilliwack is the surrounding natural beauty. This natural beauty includes the Fraser River.

The shores of the Fraser River are being polluted by careless the dumping of garbage. When the tide is low, the garbage is dumped and washed away into the water when the water rises. The care-

less pollution of this ecosystem is causing the organisms living within it to feel the brunt of the trash and pollutants. Something needs to be done as a community to fix this problem and stop the destruc-

tion of this ecosystem. We can keep this ecosystem as well the surrounding areas clean by simply stopping people from leaving their garbage near the river. Leo Trichard-Baker

Chemical Peel QUESTION: My skin is feeling dry and looking quite dull… what treatment can you suggest for a quick improvement?

- Lesley, Chilliwack

ANSWER: Chemical peels are a great treatment for an instant ‘pick me up’! These peels create an even and controlled shedding of our damaged skin cells as they exfoliate and stimulate the epidermal layers. The acids used in a peel are natural occurring acids, derived from fruits and plants. They work by dissolving the “glue’ that holds these dead skin cells together. It is a very quick, pain free procedure and can be repeated as often as every 2 weeks. After the peel the skin will immediately look smoother, radiant and feel softer, all done over lunchtime! The effect of a peel is a kind of ‘spring cleaning’ for your skin!

News District CUPE workers protest contract impasse Alina Konevski The Progress

Members of a local union representing school support staff, such as bus drivers and education assistants, rallied peacefully across from the Chilliwack School District office during Tuesday’s school board meeting. CUPE Local 411 has reached a bargaining impasse with the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association on negotiating a “modest” wage increase for the next year. To grant a pay increase, the Chilliwack school district would have to pull funds from other budget lines, because no new

provincial funding is flowing in. Rod Isaac, president of CUPE Local 411, said union members locally and province-wide recognize that the matter is out of the hands of local school districts, and have taken their fight to BCPSEA and the Ministry of Education. “We are at an impasse, locally,” said Isaac. “Our fight is not with the local employer...It can be a little frustrating sometimes when there’s no money on the table, because the employer recognizes the hard work that we do, and they respect the work that we do in the schools, with the students and with staff. They get it. They can’t do anything because their hands are

tied by the province.” Local 411 would return to the bargaining table in Chilliwack only if the government grants additional funds to the school district. Isaac argues that the provincial government has been chronically underfunding education for years. He remains hopeful that a new contract will be agreed upon by the fall. Local 411 implemented a 24-hour ban on overtime on June 14 as job action. In April 2013, members voted 94 per cent in favour of a strike. Isaac is keeping future job action on the table. “We don’t want to go on strike. We do not want to inter-

rupt school. We do not want to have the schools closed. But we only have one tool left in our box. And if the government forces us, if they back us into that, then we have a mandate to our membership where they’re not willing to keep taking zeros anymore,” he said. The average annual wage for a CUPE Local 411 member is $24,000, according to Isaac. This leaves many members below the poverty line. “That’s not acceptable to our members. Instead of having full attention on their jobs or on their students that they’re supporting, they’re worried about how they’re going to feed their own families,” said Isaac.

BCTF calls vote on B.C. bargaining SAVINGS EVENT! Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. Teachers’ Federation is holding a member vote this week, seeking a mandate to reject “government interference” in province-wide bargaining. Outgoing BCTF president Susan Lambert notified 40,000 public school teachers of the vote in a letter sent out Monday, a copy of which was obtained by Black Press. Teachers have until Friday to vote. “We need to send a strong message to government that teachers will not accept a 10-year scheme to lock in another decade of deteriorating conditions,” Lambert wrote. “The ballot will read: ‘Do you support our bargaining team and their efforts to achieve a negotiated settlement, and oppose any government interference in the bar-

gaining process? Yes or No’.” The vote signals a reversal of the BCTF position on bargaining. In a submission to the government in December 2012, the union called for “provincial bargaining between the BCTF and government regarding salary, benefits, hours of work, paid leaves, class size, class composition, and staffing levels for specialist teachers,” and “local bargaining of all other items.” BCTF president-elect Jim Iker acknowledged Wednesday that the union called for direct bargaining on provincial issues late last year, but negotiated a new “bargaining framework” with the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association in January. “This ‘agreement in committee’ allowed bargaining to move forward in a quiet, out-of-the-media-spotlight manner and meetings began in February,” Iker said. “The

talks since have been the most constructive talks in years and that’s why teachers are hoping the provincial government does not interfere.” The province-wide vote follows Monday’s announcement by Education Minister Peter Fassbender that he has asked for a “pause” in bargaining, to appoint a direct government negotiator for province-wide issues with a goal of reaching a 10-year deal. With the current two-year agreement due to expire June 30, negotiators for the BCTF and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, representing school districts, have been ongoing since February. “We are not walking away from the table, we are walking toward it,” Fassbender said. “The work that has been done to date will not be lost. In fact, we want to build on it.” A BCTF spokesman said the government request for

“It wouldn’t necessarily affect us and our airshed and our agriculture here. But that does not mean we would find it acceptable,” Ross said. Ross said the FVRD is concerned that any pursuit of waste-to-energy incineration in B.C. will lead to more garbage being burned, rather than recycled. She said the FVRD is limited to air quality concerns for formally opposing whatever plant Metro proposes, but

barges likely pose less risk to the marine environment than oil tankers or the federally authorized dumping of soil in the strait. Garbage is already moving on B.C.’s coastal waterways. The Cowichan Valley Regional District and Powell River both ship their garbage via barge to Metro Vancouver, where the containers are put onto rail and sent south, along with trainloads of trash from Whistler, to the Roosevelt Regional Landfill in southern Washington State.

potentially through a district energy system, is one of the site selection criteria to be considered. Christianne Wilhelmson of the Georgia Strait Alliance said she doesn’t like the idea of moving garbage by water. “I think the model of barging over waste from Metro Vancouver to Nanaimo is deeply deeply flawed and not well thought out,” she said. Wilhelmson said she mainly objects to the export of waste on sustainability grounds, adding garbage

would work to assist opponents in Nanaimo, if a site is proposed there. “We don’t feel comfortable saying it’s okay to put it there,” Ross said. “That would be up to those folks to decide.” The new waste-to-energy plant is to be built by 2018 and be able to handle 370,000 tonnes of garbage per year. Metro is in the early stages of a complex procurement process. The ability to effectively use the power produced,

Metro Vancouver reps were grilled over incineration plan bucks a ton because you needed to manage your business plan.” Banman compared Metro with Oslo, Norway, a city that imports garbage in order to fuel its wasteto-energy facilities that supply about half of the city’s electricity. Tuesday’s FVRD board meeting was the first opportunity that directors have had to address the Zero Waste Committee publicly, on their home turf, and directors were quick to express their frustration with Metro’s WTE consultation process. “We’ve waited for a long time for this, to be able to talk about (incineration) at Fraser Valley Regional District,” said Gaetz. Brodie insisted that flow control and incineration were two separate issues, and that Metro would have to implement its flow control program irrespective of future waste-to-energy technology. “We came here to speak about the waste flow control, and that’s what we want to speak about. We asked for consultations with the political people around this table to talk about the waste-to-energy situation in general, but we really haven’t made much progress on that,”

said Brodie. Gaetz replied that FVRD will be open to consultation once its WTE expert is admitted onto the Zero Waste Committee’s third party panel, and once Metro

freely forwards documents related to the incinerator that FVRD has requested. Metro has asked for $5,000 in fees for the documents, costs that FVRD maintains should be waived

Two-year-old spends time in Kent kindergarten class Jessica Peters The Observer

Time has officially become the enemy for Lilee-Jean, a two and a half year old girl who has been battling glioblastoma since she was a 10 months old. Her parents, Chelsey Whittle and Andrew Putt, have said it’s looking more likely she will eventually be overcome by the deadly form of brain cancer. But none of that mattered last Thursday. She spent the day buzzing around from station to station in Ms. Garrioch’s kindergarten classroom at Kent elementary, surrounded by classmates for the day. Recently, Lilee-Jean’s parents set out to create a list of things they would like their daughter to experience in her life. A day at school was high on the list and Garrioch, along with Kent’s principal, Chris Wejr, were determined to help them fill that wish. Like thousands of people around the Fraser Valley, Wejr has been following LJ’s journey, and she has already been a visi-

skills to Wejr and Garrioch. To read more about LJ’s story, visit her mom’s blog at loveforlilee.com. To read Wejr’s reflections of the day, visit his blog at chriswejr.com.

This will be the last year that Phyllis and Ed Stenson are at the helm to organize the Harrison Festival of the Arts. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Stensons leaving the festival on a high note Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Phyllis and Ed Stenson are in a bit of a frenzy. The couple is in the midst of organizing their last Harrison Festival of the Arts — after more than two decades each of pure dedication to their respective administrative roles. Their replacements have been hired to run the well-loved and eclectic beachside festival, which started out with a budget of no more than $4,000 and now hovers around $450,000 with in-kind donations. It is crunch time. “Every year it feels like we’re never going to be ready on time,” says Phyllis in an interview with The Progress over the phone.

It’s down to the wire leading up to the last festival with Stensons at the helm, which is running July 6-14 with the tagline ‘World Music and Art/Small Town Roots.’ “There are just so many details to finalize. Then you start to realize it’s all going to happen anyway whether we’re ready or not.” A musical highlight for her personally this year on the concert program is the July 11 evening show by Oliver Mtukudzi and The Black Spirits. The other is the eager anticipation of seeing Wailin’ Jennys close the show. “One of their first shows was at the festival. They’ve been back a couple of times and they’ve always been special to us. It will feels good to have them close it out. They have a history with us, and individu-

ally they are really special people.” The Jennys sang for Phyllis during “guerilla audition” they staged in a hotel room years ago at an industry conference, and immediately she fell in love with their music and sweet harmonies. She won’t, however, miss the drudgery of filling out funding applications, or the precariousness of arts sector funding. But she will miss some of the characters. “I also feel good knowing that we are leaving the organization in good financial shape,” she says. Ed is not really thinking about the fact that it’s their last festival. “It’s hard to think about it being the last or first when at this point it’s just total immersion for us,” he says. There hasn’t been time to reminisce or think about the end. But there are things

he will definitely miss. “I’ll miss all the wonderful music and interacting with the performers,” Ed says. He’ll also miss volunteer orientation, when they first get to meet other people outside the festival office each year. “That’s when we know things are really going to happen. No matter how many years you do it, you hold your breath and hope it all works out.” In the “won’t miss” category, he puts anything to do with selling advertising for the concert program. “I won’t miss that by any stretch, because I’m not a salesman,” he says. Phyllis is proud of what they’ve created, and they feel like they’re leaving on a high note.

Few flags are as strikingly simple and as easily recognizable as the Canadian Flag. An 11-point maple leaf on a white background flanked by red borders has been the adopted flag since 1965, despite Canada being an independent country since 1867. Before the adoption of a national flag, several incarnations were used. During the early days of the Canadian Confederation, the Royal Union Flag, also known as the Union Jack, was flown in Canadian North America. After Canada earned its independence, the Red Ensign Flag was used from about 1870 until 1924. Red and white were used on the flag, and eventually they became the official colours of Canada. The Red Ensign featured a red background with the Union Jack in the upper left corner and a composite shield featuring the coats of arms of the Canadian provinces. The shield was later replaced by the Royal Coat of Arms of Canada and adopted as the unofficial flag for general use for some time. There had been a few attempts at

designing and implementing an official national flag under the advisement of Prime Minister Mackensie King, but the attempts were unsuccessful. The flag was eventually adopted under Prime Minister Lester Pearson. Pearson appointed a 15-person committee to adopt a flag and gave them a six-week deadline. The maple leaf design was suggested by George Stanley, a professor at Royal Military College in Kingston, Ontario. The maple leaf holds no specific significance for Canada, nor does its 11-point design. The leaf had been used an unofficial national symbol and appeared on some decorations for visiting dignitaries. Just as with other nations, there is flag etiquette that should be maintained when displaying the National Flag of Canada. When strung to a flagpole in a horizontal manner, the flag should be displayed to the right. When the flag is displayed vertically, the top points of the maple leaf should be facing the left. There is no formal way of folding the Canadian flag.

The Empowered, STEAM, Bridges and Student Services Programs at the Education Centre would like to thank Coast Capital Savings for their generous donations this year. This funding made it possible for the students at the Ed. Centre to eat healthy meals, experience life out in our community, gain job skills, and be involved in new exciting hands on learning opportunities. Students were engaged in art projects, shop projects, work experience, and outdoor athletics. They also had the opportunity to enjoy Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners and gain knowledge of new technologies. Many students who otherwise would not have stayed in school were able to graduate through these programs. Thank-you so much COAST CAPITAL SAVINGS!!

were no international up-and-coming performers. “We had theatre production from UFV, an art exhibit and some hands-on workshops,” she remembers. “We had a bit of music in the plaza for free. “I think we had a folk dancer and local piper Evans Palmer. Then I started learning about where to find musicians. I learned about other festivals and how to supplement our funding.” Ed, who is general manager, says the new organizers for the Festival Society, Andy Hillhouse and Mel Dunster, might have a bit of a learning curve, but they are like-minded and ready for the challenge. “They understand the philosophy we built into this organization, which is to be inclusive as possible, as accessible as possible, so everyone can afford to be exposed to the

music,” he says. They wanted to make good-quality visual and performance arts available to the region, so people wouldn’t have to travel for three hours. “We tried to reflect back to the community, the different ethnic groups that make up our country,” Ed says. “We talk about world music, but the fact is, the vast majority of the performers on the program have been people who reside in Canada. So program has reflected a wide spectrum of cultural groups from within the country.” What will they do next year at festival time? “I don’t know,” says Ed. “It will be interesting. We will be available, but only if asked.” They’ll take it easy. “I might go work on a stage, and not have to think about how the performers got there. I can get them set up and let them go. I don’t have much of a chance to do that now.” But for now, it’s almost festival time. There’s the rich tapestry of diverse music from Music on the Beach in the plaza, to the Memorial Hall evening concerts, as well as literary events, a juried art market, children’s day and visual art displays. “Watching the audiences enjoy themselves at a performance is always great,” says Ed. “The venues are still small and intimate enough, that people can usually chat and visit with the performers. It’s one big happy family.” Check out all the festival listings at www. harrisonfestival.com, or (604) 796-3664.

Patti Lawn has, without question, been a longtime supporter and advocate of arts and culture in Chilliwack. It’s something that she’s proud of and considers it her legacy. As a youngster, Patti and her family lived in the heart of Vancouver. “We moved out to Yarrow when I was four. I guess my parents were looking for something a bit more rural and it was a better life than what the city could offer. It was certainly more affordable and they were able to buy a house here,” she said. Her father was a gas fitter and he worked hard but with five children in the house, there was never a lot of extra money around. “Mom stayed at home and raised us. I was always a craft person and mom was right in there with me. We weren’t involved in many things because we didn’t have the money so we made our own fun. We made doll houses using shoe boxes and we would do this for hours. I was always creating things with my hands and using my imagination. I then learned how to do needlepoint, how to knit and do crochet,” she enthused. While her siblings weren’t particularly artistic, Patti obviously inherited a creative gene. “I always remember my mom drawing. She drew a lot and my dad loved singing and used to sing to me all the time. I always loved singing too although I never had the con-

fidence to do it. I do it now and have even done some solos. I guess that’s what the arts do for you; give you confidence,” she smiled, broadly. From a very early age, Patti always knew that one day she would become a teacher. “There was no kinderAna garten in MACEDO Yarrow when I started school so we began at the first grade. I will never forget my teacher. She had coloured chalk and she would take it out and print so neatly. This image always stuck with me. I had a fabulous primary school experience. I was always running classrooms for my siblings and I practiced my printing all of the time. I

must have driven them nuts,” she laughed. In as much as Patti looked forward to teaching one day, she didn’t particularly enjoy school. “I think it was because school didn’t meet my needs. It didn’t feed my artistic side,” she reckoned. After graduating from Sardis Senior Secondary, Patti began working at Zellers. “I was one of the first employees when they opened. Eventually, I decided to leave and headed off to Calgary and worked at the Bank of Commerce. I found Calgary too cold, though, and came back here and continued working at the bank. At this point, I resolved to become a teacher,” she explained. She received her teaching degree from SFU and then promptly began her career at Upper Sumas Elementary in Abbotsford. From there, she came to Chilliwack and worked in a variety of elementary school settings including Robertson, Sardis, Unsworth, Central and Yarrow. “I was Vice-Principal at Unsworth and Yarrow before becoming Principal at FG Leary, where I am now,” she said. Patti has appreciated her role as both teacher and administrator. “You know, as a teacher, I could make a difference and impact the children in my class and maybe a few others but as an administrator; I can be impactful on many more kids.” When Patti started off at FG Leary nine years ago, 140 children attended the school. Today, it is a fine arts school with 338 children. “Developing the school has been a wonderful experience and I am surrounded by

creative people every day. How great is that,” she enthused. There is little doubt that Patti has devoted countless hours to the development of quality arts programming in our community and her passion for introducing children to the arts has been an immeasurable asset. In 1984, her friend, Janet Carroll, introduced her to the Chilliwack Player’s Guild and ever since then, she has been an active member of the group as an actor, producer, director, lighting designer and board member. Most recently, Patti played a key role in the development of the Chilliwack Arts and Cultural Society. Once the Cultural Centre opened, she became involved as a board member and oversaw the fundraising committee and also went on to serve as Vice President. Currently, she is the society’s President. “My term will soon be ending and I will then remain on the board as Past President,” she said. Although Patti is one busy lady, she has still found time to launch Bath Scents, a soap making business committed to creating affordable artisanal soaps and bath products that are chemical free. “It’s funny because in school I was into the arts but in making soap from scratch you need to really understand math and science,” she laughed. Patti is now looking forward to the end of June as the Player’s Guild is once again presenting British Nights at the Cultural Centre. “It is my passion and my love and I have auditioned. I am so looking forward to it,” she laughed.

Provincial throne speech renews election vows Black Press

VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark sat in the visitor seats of the B.C. legislature Wednesday as her government’s throne speech renewed the B.C. Liberal commitments from the May election. Lt. Governor Judith Guichon read a brief speech to open a rare summer session of the legislature, reiterating government commitments for four consecutive balanced budgets and a freeze on carbon tax and most personal income tax rates. Clark attended before returning to duties as premier and a campaign for a seat in WestsideKelowna in a byelection set for July 10. “Waiting to take a seat makes it a little bit harder to get down to business as quickly as I’d like, but I’m not letting that get in the way,” Clark told reporters on a visit to a care facility under construction in Saanich. “We called the

legislature back before I had a seat because we want to get this balanced budget passed.” NDP house leader John Horgan called it

a “bogus” budget that aims to hold health care spending below one per cent growth, a target not seen since the Social Credit restraint

program of the early 1980s. The legislature is to sit until July 25, debating the budget and the spending estimates for

all government ministries as required by law. The first order of business Wednesday was the unanimous election of veteran

Richmond East B.C. Liberal MLA Linda Reid as speaker of the legislature. Coquitlam-Burke Mountain B.C. Liberal

Business tax gap narrows A small business lobby group says the gap between business and residential property tax rates charged by B.C. municipalities is narrowing, but remains too wide. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business released a report card showing small businesses paid on average 2.7 times as much in tax as residential taxpayers for property of the same value in 2012, down slightly from 2.78 in 2011. It’s the fourth straight year that gap has narrowed. “We still have a long way to go,” said CFIB provincial affairs director Mike Klassen, who praised cities for reining in business tax rates. “There is a clear trend emerging.” The CFIB report lists North Saanich, Coquitlam, Revelstoke, Vancouver and Metchosin as having the highest businessresidential tax rate ratio, ranging from 5.6 to 4.35 times residential rates.

Last Sunday turned out to be a beautiful day for the 2nd annual Father’s Day Walk for Prostate Cancer. More than 70 runners and walkers took part in the event and raised in excess of $13,000. Similar events took place at several other locations across B.C. and over $196,000 was raised by the time of the walk with more coming in until June 30. The funds raised will go toward raising awareness about Prostate Cancer and research on the disease that affect one out of seven Canadian men. Then first runners were back from the 5 km run in less than

a half-hour. Then they enjoyed a pancake breakfast supplied by Safeway and prepared by the Mt. Cheam Lion’s club. The Father’s Day walk for Prostate Cancer has been going on in B.C. for 16 years, and this was the second one held in Chilliwack. The organizing committee, led by PCCN Chilliwack chairman, Dale Erikson feels that it was a success with more funds raised than the first year and very good support from close to 40 volunteers. What better way to celebrate Father’s Day than by supporting research and creating awareness

for a disease that every day sees 12 B.C. men finding out that they have prostate cancer. But early detection is key to successful treatment. Prostate Cancer Foundation BC and the Prostate Cancer Canada Network both recommend that men have a PSA test and a digital rectal exam after age 45. If you are in a high risk category, such as having African American heritage or have a history of PC in your family, then you should start at age 40. Next year’s Father’s Day Walk Run for Prostate Cancer is scheduled for June 15, 2014.

Stark warning for Cultus Lake boaters this weekend among Canadians aged 15 years and older, and 90 per cent of drowning deaths while boating are a result of not wearing a lifejacket or personal floatation device. “Drownings can happen quickly, and often in situations where people least expect it,” says

Michael Miller, Canadian Red Cross Water Safety Program. “With summer here now, we urge British Columbians to understand the risks when they are in the water, and also when they are on or near it. Being prepared could mean the difference between life and

death.” “BC Hydro encourages everyone to be safe around water. We operate 19 recreation areas on 16 reservoirs or rivers, and hydroelectric operations create special hazards for visitor safety. BC Hydro and Preventable urge everyone to avoid

designated danger zones around water reservoirs, and obey posted signs,” says Mark Poweska, director of Generation Operations, BC Hydro.

A new recreation and trail map has just been released for Manning and Skagit Valley parks. The first of its kind in more than 20 years, Clark Geomatics Corp. has created the only dedicated hiking, biking, horse riding and crosscountry/ backcountry ski map for the parks, which share boundaries and span a large geographical area. “We created a map that’s going to essentially fit people’s needs at the recreational level,” said Jeff Clark, lead cartographer at Clark Geomatics Corp. “The Manning/ Skagit Valley map is unique in that it is the only recently published map for the area that includes both provincial parks. The map promotes local historical trails and great effort was taken to ensure their accuracy using GPS technology.” The background image of the map is based on up-to-date satellite imagery that is used to produce a picture showing forested areas, alpine meadows, bare rock and ice features (glaciers and ice fields). Satellite technology helped Clark get accurate information on the ground, for example logged areas and treelines. Trails, hikes, routes

and traverses are derived from GPS sources and overlaid onto the topography. The map features 1:50,000 scale, shaded relief, detailed 25m contours, GPS-Ready: UTM and Lat/Long, hike and trail guide with descriptions, winter/summer trails and routes, trail and route distances, regional climate charts, historic hiking/horse riding trails, historical place notes, motorized and non-motorized areas, hunting and non-hunting

areas, campsites/campgrounds, and local services. Clark partnered with BC Parks, The Friends of Manning Park, and the Hope Mountain Centre to ensure the accuracy of the GPS’d trails, information guide and park features. “There was an urgent need for a new map with the kind of detail that this map includes,” said Kelly Pearce, program director with the Hope Mountain Centre and former Manning Park naturalist.

“These are heavily-used mountain parks and they really deserve a good map to go with them for public safety and enjoyment. For map users, it’s nice having that relief shading because it really makes the physical terrain pop up.” The recreational and backcountry map can be purchased online from Clark Geomatics at www. clarkgeomatics.ca/mapproducts.html or at the Hope Visitor Centre & Museum Complex, located at 919 Water Ave.

When taking the boat out on the lake with a case of beer on a nice summer day, you’re probably not expecting to drown that day. Preventable, in partnership with Cultus Lake, the Red Cross and BC Hydro, is drawing attention to water safety this summer by reminding you to ‘have a word with yourself” before you head out on the water this summer. It will be drawing attention to this cause with overturned boat displays at Cultus Lake on the following weekends: June 29-July 1, and August 31-September 2. Between 2006-2010, there were over 45 deaths from drowning and 200 injury hospitalizations from near drowning among BC’s children and youth (aged 1-24), alcohol was associated with 41% of drowning

BLUEBERRY SEASON The hype about hydrangeas STARTS NEXT WEEK! V FRESH HANDPICKED

NO SPRAY

BLUEBERRIES DIRECT FROM THE FIELD

irtually every well-tended garden is now going through its cycle of summer colour, but a certain flowering shrub is just around the corner, preparing to steal the show. Hydrangeas, next to roses, are perhaps the most common deciduous flowering shrub in West Coast gardens. The ‘macrophylla’ or ‘garden hydrangea’ was introduced to England in 1736, and since then a whole series of exciting new varieties have been developed for the home garden. When folks ask me to recommend a good vine for a shady north wall, my first choice is the climbing hydrangea, ‘anomala petiolaris’. This deciduous, fast-growing vine has four inch long, dark, heart-shaped glossy leaves. It has aerial rootlets that cling to virtually anything standing still, and the plant itself will stretch to twenty feet or more, if left untrimmed. Its foliage appears quite

early in the spring and lasts well into the autumn. In my opinion, it almost qualifies as an evergreen vine. The real feature of this attractive vine, however, is its large, flat Brian white MINTER flower clusters which grow to six inches across and resemble the lacecap varieties. This hydrangea is hardy to -25° C. which is surprising because of its lush appearance. It’s a winner in any garden and will tolerate some sun, but the foliage is far richer in a more shaded location. The flowering hydrangeas you see in fall gardens are most likely the heat loving ‘P.G.’ varieties (P.G. is short for ‘paniculata Grandiflora’). You’ve probably seen some in tree forms as many have been grafted that

way. It is quite easy to select one strong branch and train it into a tree form. Believe it or not, this hydrangea is Prairie hardy, tolerating temperatures of -35°C. Given time, the plant can become almost a tree, stretching up to 12 feet in height, but most folks like to keep them trimmed back to around 6 feet to conform to most garden situations. Its massive, pendulous cone-shaped flowers appear in mid-July and often last until late September when they take on a pinkish hue. The foliage of this fine garden plant also turns a rich bronze in fall, so it is a colourful accent in your autumn garden. ‘Little Lime’, one of the hot newer varieties that turns cream then multi-coloured, is a shorter cousin I love for those sunny but more compact locations. The most compact of all is H.p. ‘Bombshell’, growing only 3 feet high and wide and blooming from July through to

frost with stunning pure white blooms. ‘Angel’s Blush’ is another new variety that comes out white, then immediately turns pink and holds that beautiful pink to the very end. The show stealer, however, has to be H.p. ‘Vanilla Strawberry’ with its stunning white flowers that are almost immediately infused with red, creating a ‘wow’ sensation. ‘Lace Cap’ hydrangeas have certainly drawn the most interest during the past few years. They are called ‘Serrata’ or ‘Lace Cap’ because a cluster of sterile flowers in the centre are surrounded by large florets of traditional hydrangea blossoms. The effect is really quite charming, and in shady locations they seem to outlast the ‘macrophylla’ or common varieties. Like the big-leafed hydrangeas, however, the blossoms will turn a beautiful sea-blue in acid soils and pink or reddish-purple in chalk soils. One of the lesser known hydrangea varieties is the ‘quercifolia’ or ‘oak-leafed’ hydrangea. This handsome shrub has rather large leathery leaves resembling oak leaves, and it grows to about six feet high. For small space gardens, there are now several true dwarf varieties that stay within the three foot range. ‘Pia’, ‘Winning Edge’ and ‘Pink Elf’ are some of the cutest little garden gnomes you’ve ever seen! The truly big news is the first ever ‘macrophylla’ type that blooms on new wood. For those buds that get frozen out in a bad winter, and for those of us who prune our hydrangea to the ground each spring and get no blooms, this variety is the answer. Amazingly, they bloom beautifully on new growth. ‘Endless Summer’ is the name, and it’s a ‘must have’ for your garden. Most hydrangeas are very versatile, but they prefer moist soil and bloom far longer with some shelter from the intense afternoon sun. They are one great garden plant, and two or three varieties in a garden will be a welcome addition.

PCSL women score twice to tie TSS Academy

It wasn’t a win, but it wasn’t a loss either, which leaves Chilliwack FC coach Glenn Wilson feeling a bit better about his struggling Pacific Coast Soccer League squad. The U-21 reserve women took on TSS Academy Red Tuesday night at Townsend Park, battling the visitors to a 2-2 draw. They led 2-1 in the final minute, coming within seconds of getting their first win of the year. But when you’ve had the kind of season Chilliwack has had (0-92), settling for a draw in heartbreaking fashion doesn’t feel so bad. Coming on the heels of five straight losses, just getting a single point is like a breath of fresh air. And just as importantly, the locals scored two goals. They hadn’t put the ball behind an opposing goaltender since a 2-1 loss to the Fraser Valley Action May 25. Rachel Yang pulled the trigger to open the scoring, and it was no cheapie. From just above the 18-yard box she got the ball, wheeled and fired a high shot that arched over the TSS keeper

and into the net. “It was really good for them to get the monkey off their backs, but I wasn’t really happy about their first half play,” Wilson said. “At halftime I told them they were lucky to be in front. We were giving the ball away far too much and creating too much work for ourselves.” His crew responded, playing a much better possession game in the second half. They went up 2-0 at the 20 minute mark when Emma Haagensen snuck behind the TSS defence, took a throughball from Dariann Kloot and snuck a left-footed shot behind the keeper on a breakaway. TSS answered within two minutes, then stepped up the pressure looking for the equalizer. “The girls pushed the panic button a little bit, trying desperately to hold on to the lead,” Wilson said. “You could see the goal coming. It was a foolish giveaway 30 yards out, and it ended up in our net.” Had the locals held on for the win, they would have leapfrogged TSS Academy Red and escaped the basement of the nineteam circuit. As it is, they remain in last place and face a buzz-saw opponent Sunday afternoon as they tackle a Mid Isle Highlanders squad that sits second in the league at 6-1-3. Mid Isle beat Chilliwack 4-1 in their only prior meeting this year.

“The girls know, for the amount of times we gave the ball away Tuesday night, TSS wasn’t good enough to punish us,” Wilson noted. “Mid Isle will be. So we will work on maintaining possession and playing a smart team game. We’ll see how they respond, and I’ve told them already

that they have nothing to lose.” Game time is 2 p.m. ● Chilliwack’s PCSL U-21 men play two games this weekend, hosting TSS Academy Saturday (2 p.m. at Townsend Park) and visiting West Van FC on Sunday. See pcsl.org

Terriers to host 2015 RBC Cup Hockey Canada announced Tuesday that Portage la Prairie, Man., will host the 2015 Royal Bank Cup, Canada’s national junior A championship. The Portage Terriers of the Manitoba Junior Hockey League will serve as the host team. The 2015 RBC Cup will be held in May at the PCU Centre, with the Terriers joined by four regional represen-

tatives. It will be the 45th year for the tournament. “There are few tournaments in Canada with the history and prestige of the RBC Cup, and we could not be more excited to be going to Portage la Prairie for the 2015 event,” said Bob Nicholson, president and CEO of Hockey Canada. “The Terriers have a proud junior A tradition, and

we know the organization and the city will do a first-class job hosting the nation’s top teams.” The Terriers have made four previous appearances at the national championship, including three in the last nine years – in 2005, 2011 and 2012. Portage won the Centennial Cup as national junior A champions in 1973, beating the Pembroke Lumber Kings in a best-

of-seven series. This will be the fifth time the tournament is held in Manitoba, and the first since Dauphin played host in 2010. Winnipeg (1992) and Flin Flon (2001) have also hosted. Winnipeg and Brandon shared the duties in 1973 when Portage won its national title. The 2014 RBC Cup will be held in Vernon May 10-18.

Chilliwack four impress at all-star game

Four Chilliwack Cougar midget AAA baseball players suited up for the annual BC Minor Midget All-Star Game, held Saturday at Port Moody’s Heritage

Woods Park. Cohen Bogar t, Donovan Moorman, Ryan Petkau and Dan Rogers made the trip. The game was a pitchers duel, with Team White topping Team Red 4-2. Base hits were rare, but Bogart had a single and Petkau legged out a triple. The Chilliwack four

are vying for spots on a midget select team that will travel to Trois Rivieres, Quebec, in midAugust for the 2013 Midget AAA National Championships. Only 18 spots are available and 60 players were at an open ID camp that took place before the allstar game.

Skating and skills at hockey summer camp High performance camps are starting soon as minor hockey players prepare for the fall season. Chilliwack Minor Hockey has opened registration for an atom/peewee camp that runs July 22-26 at Twin Rinks. The cost is $150 for a week that includes two on-ice, one classroom and one dry-land session each day. Spots can be reserved by emailing Craig Lehr at director_at_large@ chilliwackminorhockey.com A bantam/midget camp will run July 29 to Aug. 2 at Twin Rinks. Registration is on a first-come-first-serve basis, with application forms available at the CMHA office.

DoorWarz brings full-bodied auto racing to Canada Dean Murchoch, Black Press

Mission Raceway Park is the largest NHRA track in Canada and is considered one of the best race tracks in North America due to its sea level location and cool west coast air. Situated in Canada, though, has been a bit of a handicap because 90 per cent of the racers are American. One of the ways to work around that is to promote an event that is a bit off the norm. Mission Raceway did just that for DoorWarz, July 5-7. This is the first event solely for fast full-bodied doorcars, and this is the first time this type of race has been held in Canada. The event will have the largest ever purse for the feature class, Outlaw Pro Mod, with $50,000 in prize money, making it the largest payout of 2013 in North America. The Pro Mod class is one of the most exciting classes in drag racing due to the vehicle’s designs and wild runs down the quarter-mile. More than 45 cars are pre-entered for the event; that is 20 more

DoorWarz will be July 4-6 at Mission Raceway Park, with drivers in the feature class taking aim at $50,000 in prize money. SUBMITTED PHOTO

than have ever been in Canada. There are six other classes competing as well and they include Outlaw 10.5 (a similar car to the Pro Mods but running on a smaller tire). There is a total purse for the weekend close to $85,000. We’ll feature Outlaw Pro Mod in next week’s issue. The Outlaw 10.5

will feature four or five Canadian teams with a good chance of winning the event. The main competitor, Doug Sikora, hails from California. He has won the Street Cat Super Nationals event in Las Vegas before and has gone as quick as a 6.13/235 in the quarter mile. Langley’s Steve Nicholson is the quickest Canadian car in the

class and he hopes to improve and run in the 6.30-6.40 range. Locals Ken Sihota and Roy Moznik are also hoping to run well into the midsix-second zone. Barry Daniluk from Alberta is planning on attending as long as repairs to his car are complete. Three other Alberta drivers are also in the mix: Derek Przeginiak, Dean Branham and Mike

Walterson. Outlaw 275 is a class with a range of different cars and all are street legal. Edmonton’s Neil Richards is the favourite as he has gone close to 200 mph in his wheelstanding Ford Zephyr. Scott Schulhauser from Calgary and Alex De Wolfe from Langley will also be strong contenders. Top Sportsman will

Teamup leads to gold Three members of the Chilliwack Optimist Eagles youth dragonboat team joined forces with Sudden Impactâ€™s Liquid Silver youth squad, and together they earned a first place finish. Competing at the massive Rio Tinto Alcan Dragonboat Festival in Vancouver, the team earned a gold medal in the C division. This year marked the 25th anniversary of the two-day festival, held on the waters of False Creek with over 200 teams competing. Competing in their first ever dragonboat festival, Eagle paddlers Claudia Godkin, Ashley Ergoff and Mike Rogers helped the crew post competitive times in the qualifying rounds. They saved their best for last, posting a time of 2:16.28 in the final to win by more than three seconds. Co-captains Christine Mrak and Oliver

Sinnott, and coach Karmen Aulakh, were all very impressed. â€œThey came together as a group when they needed to, and wanted it more than any other team in the final,â€? he said. â€œWe are so proud of this team.â€? With one under their belt, the Eagle paddlers head back to their own boat and prepare for the Harrison Dragonboat Festival, which takes place July 20. The team is still looking for paddlers. Anyone with interest can call Kathy Preuss at 604-792-9336. Sudden Impact is always on the lookout for new paddlers too. Contact SIPC youth director Donna Boucher at youth@paddlesi.com. â—?

Austin Plevy and his Chilliwack Chief teammates face the Prince George Spruce Kings three straight times as the post-BCHL Showcase schedule gets under way. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

The BCHL released the full regular season schedule Monday afternoon. The Chilliwack Chiefs will start the 58 game slate with two BCHL Showcase Games at Prospera Centre. Chilliwack ‘hosts’ Powell River Sept. 7 and ‘visits’ Vernon Sept. 8, with both games counting towards the standings.

The Chiefs play their first road game Sept. 13 when they visit Prince George. Chilliwack’s first three non-Showcase games are against the Spruce Kings, who supply the opposition for Chilliwack’s official ‘home opener’ on Sept. 28. The longest road stretch of the year is a five gamer that starts Nov. 30 in Penticton and sees the Chiefs visit Langley (Dec. 1), Powell River (Dec. 6), Nanaimo (Dec. 7) and Alberni Valley (Dec. 8).

Chilliwack’s longest home stretch is just three games, occuring twice on the schedule. Chilliwack’s home schedule is weekend heavy, with 21 games on Fridays, 23 on Saturdays and 11 on Sundays. There are only three midweek games this season, one on a Monday and two on Wednesdays. The regular season wraps up March 1 with a home game against the Coquitlam Express. Get more at bchl.ca

Ex-Canuck to run Surrey Eagles returning veterans and the up-and-coming new recruits.” Shaefer’s lengthy professional playing career included National Hockey League stops in Vancouver (twice), Boston and Ottawa. He retired in 201011 after a brief stint with Ingolstadt RC in the German Deutsche Eishockey Liga. Erhart has signed on as an assistant coach with the Giants, where he will work under the guidance of longtime bench boss Don Day. During his three years as the Eagles head coach, Erhart compiled an impressive record of 106-50-6-14. In each year, the Eagles won a minimum of 35 regular season games and made it at least as

far as the Conference finals. Erhart was the 2011-12 winner of the Joe Tennant Memorial trophy as coach of the year. The Delta native has a long-standing relationship with the Eagles. As a player, he helped the 1998 team to a Royal Bank Cup championship. “It’s a bittersweet day when you have to leave a program that you’ve been a part of as a player and a coach,” he said. “The Eagles gave me a great opportunity, and I’ll always be thankful for that. With the Giants, it’s a chance to further my coaching career, and I couldn’t pass it up.” Get more at surreyeagles.ca

Bennewith James Nov. 3, 1924 June 21, 2013

It is with deep sorrow we announce the passing of our dad James Bennewith who passed away peacefully at Cascade Lodge in Chilliwack. Jim was predeceased by his wife Mabel in December 1998. He is survived by his daughters Dolores Michaloski (Phillip) of Cranbrook, many grandchildren and great grandchildren. Dad fought a brave battle with cancer this past year and we would like to thank Dr. MacIntosh for his kind and caring compassion. We would also like to thank the girls who looked after him daily before he went to Cascade Lodge. He will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. There will be no funeral service at this time, but a small family memorial at a later date. In lieu of flowers please send a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.

OBITUARIES

Engstrom, Carl Ernest, Michael Carl Ernest Michael Engstrom aged 70 years passed away suddenly at home on June 20, 2013. He is sadly missed by his wife Fern and daughter Kelly (Cam)/ Grandchildren Hailey and Emily, as well as many relatives and friends. Carl grew up in Harrison Mills and lived his life in Chilliwack. Those that know him could find him peacefully fishing on the Harrison river every weekend and all summer long on his trusty tugboat. His last few years he enjoyed watching his granddaughters playing their sports. Carl requested cremation and no funeral service so to respect his wishes we will be having a Celebration of Life Tea/coffee held at 45875 Foxglove Ave. Chilliwack, BC on Saturday, June 29 from 1-3.

Passed away peacefully with family at his side on June 4, 2013. Born in Ellemeet, the Netherlands on March 8, 1939, Johnnie emigrated to Canada with his family in 1950. With a zest for life to the very end, Dad was always on the go. He was a very hard worker and was quick to lend a hand to anyone in need. Living life on his terms, he was a magnet to old and young alike. You merely followed the sound of laughter to find Poppa John stirring up some sort of mischief with friends, family, and strangers alike. He was predeceased by his parents, Anton and Neeltje Boot. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Sharon, son Michael (Tiffany), daughters Michelle (Dale) and Chantelle (Jason), six grandchildren, ten brothers and sisters, countless nieces and nephews, even more friends, and a few pets who knew he had mints in his pockets. A memorial service will be held in his honor on July 6, 2013, 10:30 am, at the Greendale Mennonite Brethren Church located at 6550 Sumas Prairie Rd Chilliwack, BC. Johnnie gave regularly to the Variety - the Childrens Charity (www.variety.bc.ca). He would be happy that you send donations there in his name in lieu of flowers.

Wills can be confusing.

Ideally the candidate will have successfully held an accounts receivable administrator role or equivalent, possess strong time management skills, is a team player, and shows a willingness to learn.

But they don’t have to be.

November 9, 1949 – June 17, 2013 It is with profound sadness we announce that Craig James Davies, 63, of Chilliwack, BC, passed away on June 17, 2013 after a short but courageous battle with cancer. Craig was born to the late Arthur and Dorothy Davies in New Westminster, BC on November 9, 1949. Growing up as an Air Force brat, he lived with his family in Bagotville, Quebec; Zweibrucken, Germany; and Gimli and Winnipeg, Manitoba. Craig flourished growing up in these very diverse places, was a role model for his little sister Bonnie, making friends instantly and almost as instantly learning to communicate in French and German. He graduated from Gimli High School and continued on to receive a diploma from Red River College in Winnipeg, Manitoba. As an adult he moved to Langley, BC where he raised his family and lived for many years before moving on to Lindell Beach and then Garrison Crossing Chilliwack. He was very proud of the years he spent coaching hockey for his two sons and many, many other young hockey players in Langley. Craig met his wife Kathy Davies (O’Brien) and they began their life together in 2000. They married on November 18, 2008 on a quiet beach in Hawaii. Together Craig and Kate enjoyed renovating and decorating their homes, creating beautiful gardens entertaining friends and travelling abroad and in Canada. Craig was the owner of Design One, a graphic design studio in Langley for 35 years. He was very well respected in the Langley business community and was awarded the distinction of Business Person of the Year in 2011. Craig gave willingly of his time and expertise in various volunteer roles during the many years he spent in Langley, and was a dedicated member of the Downtown Langley Business Association. He had an amazing talent for photography, particularly black and white, and recently enjoyed sharing his photographic adventures on his blog, www.thethingsisee.ca He was enamored with travelling in general, but had a real passion for France where he visited often. Craig had many interests and was a collector of rare and first edition books, Canadian stamps, local artwork and antique bottles, to name just a few. Craig was a gifted conversationalist and genuinely loved people. He had a unique capacity to connect and made an impact on everyone who knew him. He was kind, generous and had a keen sense of fairness. He was a strong leader and a perfectionist. Those who knew him well will recall these common Craigisms – “Don’t poke the bear” and “ If it’s not perfect, it’s S**t”. Craig was predeceased by his stepson Corey, and is survived by his two sons from his first marriage to Bev Davies (Maly): Garth Davies and his wife Deborah, and Grant Davies and his wife Terri-Lee. Craig is also survived by his sister Bonnie Davies and her husband William; his Aunt Bonnie Howe and her husband Don; his four grandchildren Adam, Royce, Leila, and Keeley; and will be sorely missed by the rest of his relatives and friends. In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting that donations be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. A Celebration of Life will be held at 11:00 AM on Thursday, July 4, 2013 at Cascades Casino Hotel & Convention Centre in Langley.
