New year, new look for Central Alina Konevski The Progress Students at Central Elementary will be waving a new flag this school year, one bearing a proud green logo of a sockeye salmon. This will replace the school’s longheld logo of a toothy shark. The school is also part of a district-wide initiative to paint welcome messages on its walls in Halq’eméylem, an aboriginal language traditional for the region but at risk of extinction. The initiatives are part of Central Elementary’s efforts to strengthen the sense of belonging

that aboriginal students and the community feel at the school. When principal Jim Edgcombe crunched the numbers last year, he discovered that 48 per cent of the school’s 220 students are aboriginal. He felt that the school should work harder at fulfilling the three goals that the Chilliwack district set itself in 2010 to enhance education for aboriginal students. These are increasing aboriginal sense of belonging, increasing academic success, and improving understanding of language and culture for all students. The school is doing pretty well on the last two points, said

Edgcombe, and is prioritizing the goal of belonging for this coming year. Already, Central Elementary has become a community hub for a long list of programs that encourage students, parents, and the community at large to get involved and stay connected to the school. “When you have a high level of parent support, you have a higher level of student success,” said Edgcombe. The Downtown (previously, Central) Gateway for Families program hosts a variety of social service organizations in the school’s

basement during the week. The school also takes pride in encouraging the expression of traditional aboriginal arts and culture. There were three large aboriginal gamily gatherings last year, some with hundreds of attendees. The school also recruited an elderin-residence, Yvonne Tumangday from Sto:lo Nation, to spend time with the community. But it’s fostering a sense of belonging that is the final key, especially as many aboriginal students come from away and do not have a local band affiliation. Continued: STUDENTS/ p4

An improving run of sockeye salmon returning to the Fraser River has prompted fishery managers to reopen fishing for other salmon species that had been closed to guard against any accidental bycatch of sockeye. Pacific Salmon Commission officials now estimate around four million sockeye are on track to return due to more fish arriving later than anticipated. That’s still below a pre-season forecast of 4.7 million but it’s much better than a few weeks ago when salmon watchers feared just two million would return. Recreational angling for chinook, pink and chum salmon opened Friday morning below Mission and for pink and chum above Mission Saturday morning. First Nations also have the goahead to fish for chinook, chum and pink on the lower Fraser for food, social and ceremonial purposes. A limited commercial fishery for pinks is also expected. Water temperatures have cooled somewhat from dangerously high levels earlier in the summer but fishery managers still expect 70 per cent of returning sockeye will die on their journey upriver to the spawning grounds. As a result, all of the fisheries are directed to release any sockeye that are caught. “We are getting early reports of fish arriving at the spawning grounds in good condition,” said Jeff Grout, DFO regional resource manager.

Chilliwack drivers reminded to use caution near schools As students head back to school this week, Chilliwack’s ‘Safer City’ program partners are reminding motorists that school zones are back in effect. The speed limit in school zones is 30 km/h on school days from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. “For the safety of our children drivers are required to slow down in 30 km/h school zones. Even if it looks like there are no children on the sidewalks, they can appear from between parked vehicles or from places you may not expect them,” said Chilliwack RCMP Cpl. Lee Dyson. “All of us need to pay attention to the rules of the road and make sure the children get to and from school safely. Everyone needs

to slow down and pay special attention when in a school zone. Our Chilliwack traffic services members will be out in school zones to help remind people to slow down, as well as to keep distractions to a minimum to prevent an avoidable tragedy” The Chilliwack RCMP and Speed Watch will be focussing extra attention on school zones this fall to monitor and enforce driver behaviour in our school zones. A motorist speeding within a 30 km/hr school zone could face a minimum fine of $196 to a maximum of $483, a penalty of three to six points on his or her record as well as having the vehicle impounded for seven days, depending on how

excessive the speed is over the posted speed limit. There is a direct correlation between an increase in vehicle speeds and the increase of risk of injury, Cpl. Dyson said. Pedestrian safety is each driver’s and pedestrian’s responsibility. Parents are also reminded to talk with their children about what to do before they cross a road. Teaching a child to use their eyes and their ears to, Stop, Look and Listen, always; even if there is a crossing guard or traffic signals to assist them. Distractions are equally dangerous for both drivers and pedestrians - put away cell phones and take out ear buds.

Drivers are reminded to slow down to 30 km/h on school days from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. starting today. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

Looking forward to a new school year Alina Konevski The Progress Chilliwack school district superintendent Evelyn Novak has been at the helm of one of B.C.’s only growing school districts for one year. With 14,000 students and 1,800 teachers in the heart of the Fraser Valley, the district presents a unique set of challenges. In the year since she moved from the Prairie Spirit school division, outside Saskatoon, Novak says she has settled into her new position in Chilliwack. She has developed an open and trusting relationship with the board of education and staff, and is expecting a fruitful and constructive year. Below is an edited interview with Novak on what parents, students and staff can expect in the 2013-14 year. What are you most looking forward to this year? We’re excited to be implementing early French immersion (EFI) in our district. We’ve set aside the funding for that, so we’re looking at developing some plans around that. There are a number of decisions that have to be made and thinking that needs to be done. We have to put some personnel in place to support the implementation. We’ll be looking at school sites. We need to finalize those decisions, so parents can determine whether or not they want their children to participate. The approval of EFI at a board meeting in June was a surprise after the program was rejected just one month prior. Is an EFI program absolutely confirmed for Chilliwack? Once the board provided the funding for it, it is our intention to make this the best early French immersion program that we can

have. And we’re excited about it because it’s providing another learning opportunity for our students. So we’re going to ensure that it’s implemented well and that our parents will be happy with the outcome. Will the program be ready for Sept. 2014? We’re working towards that date. We know that parents are committed to it. There’s a group of parents and children that are ready to begin. We really want to capitalize on that. What are some lingering challenges? Personnel. We know from what other districts have experienced,

hiring early French immersion staff, early French immersion learning assistants, teachers, resource assistants, can be a challenge. We’ll look inside (the district) first. We hear that there are some folks inside who are interested. But if we need to, we’ll go outside as well. With its increasing enrollment, SD 33 is continually facing a shortage of adequate space for students. How is the board handling this? We need to continue to advocate for additional schools and additional spaces and additional classrooms in Chilliwack. That’s something the board will continue to work with the

government on. It’s exciting to be in a district that’s growing. Have you received any response from the Ministry of Education on Chilliwack’s $56-million dollar longterm facilities plan? This includes two brand new schools, and a long list of major infrastructure upgrades to existing facilities. That will be coming forward in October, I believe. Other than it was received and approved in principal, the next step is the funding piece, and we have not heard anything around that.

Metal thefts create added fire risk Eric Welsh The Progress One man has been arrested in connection with a series of brass fire-coupling thefts from downtown area buildings. Chilliwack Fire Department Cpt. Don Van Beest says at least 25 buildings, and maybe more, had couplings taken. The absence of working connections created a serious risk for people living and working in those buildings. “The purpose of these couplings is to allow us to augment the water supply to sprinkler or standpipe systems,” Van Beest explains. “A sprinkler system is supplied at 65 PSI (pounds per square inch). With these connections, we’re able to access the fire hydrants and get that as high as 175 PSI, which puts considerably more water on a fire.” RCMP executed a search warrant on an address in the 46000 block of Princess Avenue late last week, recovering 28 couplings. Unfortunately, the connections had been broken, rendering them unusable. “For a few bucks of scrap metal, the person who did this created the potential for a large amount of damage,” Van Beest noted. The person arrested has not yet appeared in court. In the meantime, Van Beest has been making the rounds Continued: STOLEN/ p7

Chilliwack students get new welcome STUDENTS from Front “Many of our families are not local. We have aboriginal peoples from all over Canada at our school. We have Métis, we have Cree, we have Ojibwa,” said Edgcombe. “We want to have an inclusive, welcoming school.” Embracing the sockeye salmon as the official school logo is one step towards in that direction. “The shark is not really local, and has a bit of a negative perception on a whole bunch of cultural levels,” said Edgcombe. “We wanted to really shift that to something positive, that is local, that has aboriginal significance.” Not only is fishing an important industry in Chilliwack. “As a staff, we liked the idea that the sockeyes travel together as a school. That they persevere to achieve a goal,” said Edgcombe. Local graphic artist Bonny Graham-Krulicki designed the new sockeye logo in the traditional Coast Salish style. There are three letter

“r’s” woven into the fish to represent the values of respect, responsibility, and relationships, as the school requested. There’s a candle to represent the lamp of knowledge. The triple repetition of images echoes the partnership between the students, staff, and parents. The school district is also painting large welcome messages in Halq’eméylem at all locations. “Ey kwesé e’mi,” which means “It is good that you are here,” will soon greet every person who enters a Chilliwack school. Graham-Kr ulicki designed this message as well. She used a font that she invented specifically for Halq’eméylem five years ago as a way of preserving the language. “I thought, wouldn’t

that be a great way to preser ve the Halq’eméylem language? Is if I created this (font) into an artform that people would want to hang on their walls, and it would be a form of art, but it would preserve the aboriginal language in the process,” said the Coast Salish artist who runs B.Wyse Productions. The district is purposely waiting for students to return to class before putting up all the welcome messages. “We actually want to generate some conversations, and be able to have kids say, ‘What does that say?’, and be able to explain what Halq’eméylem language is, and just let it be a starting point,” said Nerine Graham, aboriginal education coordinator. “The goal

is to get Halq’eméylem language up and visible in our school district.” Central Elementary is also having GrahamKrulicki create a collection of additional words, such as teach, peace, love, laugh, learn, to be placed all over the school. Although painting words on walls may seem superficial, said Edgcombe, it’s a statement of the school’s commitment to fostering aboriginal identity. “We are on the traditional territory of the Skwah band. This area was the actual site of the original Skwah village,” said Edgcombe, speaking of the school’s current location. “We always acknowledge that this was where folks used to live long before contact.” akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/alinakonevski

Family welcomes community support The Progress

As a Rosedale family navigates the hectic maze of guiding a young son through chemotherapy, the community has taken effort to make this time as stress-free as possible. Ethan’s World, a campaign launched to fundraise for the Fleming family, has nearly reached its $30,000 goal. Donations now stand at $25,788 after just a few months of fundraising. “It’s nice to know that when Ethan and I are at the hospital, that if my husband needs to go and get something for Ethan, or if I need to go and get something for Ethan, we know that we can actually go and do it and not worry,” said Tanna Fleming. Her son, Ethan, has a rare bone cancer in the knee. He has been in and out of Vancouver’s B.C. Children’s Hospital since he was diagnosed in June. Ethan, a Rosedale Traditional student, has had five rounds of chemo therapy so far and countless blood work. Next month, Ethan will have a long round of tests to determine how much of the cancer the chemo has killed. Pending results, Tanna will likely have

to take her son to Edmonton for surgery, as their treating surgeon at B.C. Children’s retires. Doctors will attempt a reverse rhinoplasty to use bone from Ethan’s foot or ankle to create a new knee. All the hospital procedures are draining to Tanna, she says. But Ethan is doing relatively well. “Ethan’s good. He’s still little Ethan. When he has something to say, he’s absolutely going to say it. He’s not sugar-coating anything whatsoever,” said Tanna. A task now for Ethan is to regain about 10 pounds, a requirement for the surgery.

As a family, the Flemings have stood strong through this tough time. “I think that they’re really strong,” said Tanna’s childhood friend Brandi Bourdon, “auntie” to Ethan. “They’ve just stuck together. Like glue. Some families fall apart. Not this family. Tight. Super tight. Super supportive.” Bourdon has been working every day to fuel the community events in support of Ethan. Funds raised will help cover living and other expenses for the family as Tanna has had to resign from her position at the bakery at the Real Canadian Superstore in order to care for

Sockeye run on a four-year cycle, so the fish now migrating are the offspring of the disastrous 2009 run, when just 1.6 million sockeye returned, prompting the appointment of the Cohen Inquiry. There had been high hopes that this would be the year that stock begins to rebuild. While DFO officials say there are now signs that will happen, they say the return and the river conditions are still far from what they had hoped.

Ethan. Bourdon and the community have launched bottle drives from Chilliwack to Langley, fundraiser pub nights as far as Surrey, and bracelet sales to people touched by the story from as far as Australia and Japan. Bourdon is holding garage sales at her home, and one kind soul has purchased airline tickets to be won in a future raffle. There are also car washes by various community groups in Chilliwack, including one by a local veteran UN-NATO motorcycle club last week that raised $2,000. Ethan got to sit on one of the member’s motorcycles during a brief visit back to his hometown. “Wonderful guys. The nicest people I think I’ve ever met,” said Tanna. “Ethan was a little nervous about the bike, but they made him feel so comfortable, and so secure. And his face was so lit up with happiness.” Tanna recognizes she will have to return to work eventually. “We don’t know what’s going to happen in the future with Ethan,” she said. She is grateful to the community for allowing her the freedom to purchase whatever Ethan needs.

Quarter-final heartbreak The Fraser Valley Storm, a womenâ€™s 40+ soccer team, advanced to the quarter-finals at the World Masters Games in Torino, Italy, before finally falling to All Canadian FC. The Storm, well stocked with Chilliwack talent, dominated the group-play stage, opening Aug. 2 with a 4-1 win over the Vernon Controllers. Brooke Dormor had two goals for the Storm, with Tamara Soellner

and Kerri Timothy adding singles. Two days later they played Hical United to a 1-1 tie, with Timothy scoring the lone Storm goal.

B.C. housing affordability worsens: report Jeff Nagel Black Press The cost of owning a standard detached bungalow in Vancouver now devours 82 per cent of a typical householdâ€™s income. That calculation, from RBC Economics Research, is among the findings in its recent housing trends report showing home affordability has taken a hit in B.C. in recent months. RBCâ€™s home affordability measure compares home owner-

ship costs â€“Â mortgage payments, utilities and taxes â€“Â to median pretax household income and provides plenty of fodder for those who think B.C. real estate costs too much. The Vancouver measure of 82.2 for a bungalow is up 2.2 points from the previous quarter and is far above Torontoâ€™s 54.5, Montrealâ€™s 38 and Calgaryâ€™s 33. The measure for B.C. as a whole also rose to 67.6 for bungalows, 72.8 for two-storey homes

and 33.8 for condos. In Vancouver, owning a two-storey home took 85.8 per cent of household income, while a condo took 40.7 per cent. â€œThe weakening in affordability is a bit disappointing and the latest setback disrupting the way to healthier housing market conditions in B.C.,â€? RBC chief economist Craig Wright said. But despite the recent uptick in prices, Wright noted home ownership costs in B.C. are still

lower than a year ago, due to a nearly two-year long cooling stretch in the real estate market. Fears of a steep drop in Vancouver real estate appear to have abated, he said, suggesting the â€œmarket correction has run its course and that the risk of a catastrophic outcome has greatly moderated.â€?

An exceptionally sunny, dry summer helped push BC Parks to an all-time record number of reservations at provincial campgrounds. More than 115,000 camping reservations were made through the province’s Discover Camping service, up 12 per cent from last year. Campers were allowed to make reservations at more campsites and campgrounds, including Kleanza Creek, Martha Creek, Chilliwack Lake, Mable Lake and Bowron Lake, increasing the number of reservable sites to more than 5,000 at 95 parks. While Labour Day is the traditional end to the regular camping season, BC Parks officials are trying to pump up shoulder season camping. They say campsites are quieter in the fall, with attractions like spawning salmon in some areas. It’s also the time of year when “long-stay camping” is permitted, allowing campers to stay four to six weeks at reduced rates in select parks. Seniors over 65 also get camping discounts from Sept. 3 to June 14 next year.

The Progress Devin Sache likes motocross a lot, though he really can’t say why. “I don’t really know,” he says. “I just do.” Probably has something to do with riding a motorcycle at high speed over jumps and bumps. What 13 year old wouldn’t like that? But what makes Sache different is that he’s really, really good at it. Considering he only took up the sport two years ago, the kid has some significant accomplishments under his belt. “I went to Raymond, AB, this year for national races and got two seconds,” the Chilliwack middle school student said. “And I won the BC Motocross Championship in 85cc 12-to-16 and the super mini-class.” And, Sache won the 85cc schoolboy class and finished second in super-mini at the Chilliwack Fair. That’s not to say everything’s been rosy for the young rider, who has learned some painful lessons along the way. “Staying on the bike for the whole race has been a big one,” Sache said. Yep. Fair enough. “Don’t go super-crazy over your limit when you’re racing, because you’ll hurt yourself,” he added. “It’s hard to do when you’ve got a really fast guy behind you, but you’ve got to pick good lines and be smooth out

Devin Sache hopped on a dirt-bike for the first time two years ago, and the 13-year-old has proven to be a faster learner. In short order, the Chilliwack native has become a contender on the motocross circuit, earning podium placing at two national-level races in Alberta. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

there.” Sache had one archenemy who drove him nuts on the circuit last year. Sache could beat this kid off the start line every time, but he could never hold the lead. “There was this time where I was beating him for the whole race, and he passed me on the straightaway because I braked too early,” Sache lamented. “But I can beat him now, ever since I came back from

my broken leg.” Broken leg. Wait. What? “In Arenacross, since it’s really tight there’s this one big double (jump) that I wasn’t hitting,” Sache explained. “I came up on it too fast, landed right in the middle. The impact caused a clean break that sidelined me for about two months, which wasn’t too bad.” “It’s definitely nerve-

wracking, and my heart goes a thousand miles a minute watching him whip around that track,” said his mom, Sherri Sache. “But it’s fun and it keeps him out of trouble and off the streets. He enjoys it so much.” Even when he’s going into the first turn with 35 other riders? “It’s an adrenalin rush for him, and I guess it’s an adrenalin rush for me as well,” she said. “I really do

enjoy watching him race.” The best moment for both of them is when Sache reels in another racer and goes for the pass. “My heart rate goes right up and I know I’ve got to push it more so he doesn’t take it back from me,” he said. And crossing the finishing line? “If I’m winning it just feels awesome, but if I ride good and a kid

beats me that I know I can beat, it doesn’t feel good,” Sache said. “He gets a little down on himself sometimes, but every race isn’t going to be his best,” Sherri reasoned. The teenager will ride whenever and wherever he can, but the Popkum Motor Park seems to be a favourite destination. “It’s a pretty good track with some nice elevation and some hard-pack areas that get

nice and ruddy,” Sache said. He’s practising on it regularly, pondering the next step in the motocross journey. “If I want to get real serious about it, the next step would be to get on a bigger 250cc bike,” Sache said. “Get on that bike, practise a lot and try to go Canadian pro. But I won’t know for sure until I get on a bigger bike.”

BCHL Showcase title sponsor Bauer invites fans to try out new hockey gear at the Bauer Experience, Sept. 7 from 9 to 11 a.m. at Prospera Centre. Players will be able to test drive the Vapor APX2 skates, test the radar gun with the TotalOne NXG stick and work on their puckhandling skills with the Nexus NSG gloves. Bauer experts will be on hand to ensure a good fit and there will be plenty of prizes up for grabs as well. The BCHL Showcase brings all 16 teams to town for three days of junior A action. Each team will play twice, with both games counting towards the regular season standings. The Chilliwack Chiefs will take on the Powell River Kings Sept. 7 and the Vernon Vipers Sept. 8.

School superintendent looks ahead to the new school year

FANTASY FARMS PRESENTS

SCHOOL from page 3 Are you still optimistic the plan will be funded? Absolutely. Because we are one of the few districts in B.C. that is growing, we are optimistic that we are going to be looked at carefully and supported. The B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE), including the Chilliwack chapters, have been deadlocked in difficult contract negotiations with the Ministry for months. Is there anything the local school district can do to aid the process? We have a very long standing and positive relationship with our teachers’ association as well as with our CUPE. Regardless of what has been happening provincially, our staff have worked hard locally to ensure that we work together. Everyone’s interest, as far as supporting our students, continues to be at the forefront. There may be some directions given to us by the government on what we need to do, and we will follow through and ensure we do our part. Do you have a contingency plan in case either group decides to strike? Because of this transpiring during the summer months, our board hasn’t had an opportunity to get together to discuss it. Historically, the Chilliwack school board has had tension between trustees. Are you seeing improvement there? From what I have observed, I think our board has demonstrated that they engage in healthy debate, healthy dialogue. We need diverse ideas and diverse

thinking around the table in order to come to a best idea, and I think the board has demonstrated that. So I’m pleased with the direction we’re headed. When I came to this district, I came in hopeful and positive. I’ve always believed in positive, open and trusting relationships. And that’s how I approached working with this board. The board has welcomed me, and has responded in the same way, and I think we’ve forged a positive relationship. I’m quite proud of the way the board is working together, and looking at its work, and building a vision to move forward. You’re not worried such healthy debate is counter-productive? No, not at this point in time. The district completed a major review of special education last year. How will the district use the findings this year? One of the first tasks we did was to implement a special ed working committee. Now we have also a special ed advisory committee. Parents are included

in that. That’s going to really address the parent need to have input and feedback into what’s happening around special education in the Chilliwack school district. We are also providing specific professional development. This week, for example, some of our staff were involved in autism training. Education assistants are included in that. We want to give our parents the confidence that we are listening, and being very strategic and intentional. Do you have any final comments? I’m really pleased with our leadership overall in our district. I think we have a strong staff. I am extremely impressed with the caring and passionate community, the groups and partners that recognize the additional supports that they provide are healthy to our students, such as the Bowls of Hope feeding program.

STOLEN from page 3 to make sure the couplings are being replaced. “That’s meant playing the role of not-so-nice fireman, telling building owners/managers that they must get a repairman in, pay the bill and get them fixed,” he said. “The cost is around $150-200 per coupling, and some have two. The museum got hit twice, as did a condo strata. And when I contacted one person, he said, ‘I can’t go on replacing these connections.’ And I said, ‘You can and you will.’” Less vigilant property managers may not have been aware of the thefts until Van Beest gave them a call. They’ve now been informed. “Most buildings are inspected at least once a year, and we inspect a couple hundred every month,” Van Beest noted. “So something like this doesn’t escape notice for long.” RCMP Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen said the scope of the problem remained undetected for longer than it should have because people reported the thefts to the fire department, and not the RCMP. “We encourage people to report matters of theft to us,” he said. “We like to get those reports firsthand, because we might have questions to ask that the fire department wouldn’t realize.” Anyone who with information can call RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Get in the zone Today marks the start of the school year for most students in Chilliwack. As drivers everywhere know, this is a time for increased enforcement of 30 km/h school zones. RCMP, along with Chilliwack Speed Watch volunteers will be out in force reminding drivers to ease off on the gas. (See story, page 3.) But that won’t be their only message. They’ll also be keeping an eye out for distracted drivers – the ones who can’t hang up their cell phone long enough to travel a few blocks. Such enforcement is necessary: kids and parents alike are excited to be heading back and no routines have been established this early on. Children are eager, excited and often more interested in the friend they haven’t seen all summer than the vehicles around them. That’s why it’s important for drivers to add an extra dose of caution to their commute. Driving too fast carries with it a hefty price tag. Speeding drivers can pay up to $483 for an infraction, plus pay more for insurance the next time they renew. But the cost could be even higher. Bikes, skateboards, scooters and little feet are surprisingly swift. It only takes a moment of inattention for a tragedy to occur. Summer has a wonderful way of sapping our collective attention spans and, for the most part, that’s what we love about the season. But when the bell rings, be sure to holster the cellphone, give yourself enough time to get the lunches made and the kids properly attired before heading out onto the roads. You won’t just save yourself a ticket. You’ll possibly save a life. ~ Black Press

Conservation critical to rebuilding sockeye salmon stocks The DFO has been stepping up patrols on the lower Fraser River to intercept those people illegally catching sockeye salmon for the black market. It’s stunning how short sighted people can be. They persist in harvesting a threatened fishery when the odds are already stacked against this year’s run. High river temperatures and a predicted low run size has triggered a full-on conservation strategy to make sure that as many sockeye salmon as possible make it back to their spawning streams. The returning salmon are the progeny of the 2009 Fraser River sockeye returns when only 1.7 million sockeye returned to the Fraser compared to the expected 10.6 million. It’s a no brainer this year’s run would be low. The 2009 collapse and the outcry for answers triggered the Cohen Commission enquir y. And yet, as that was ongoing, the 2010

sockeye salmon run came in at a whopping 35 million fish. Talk about a complex aquatic system! In Commissioner Bruce Cohen’s final repor t released October 2012, “The Uncer tain Future of Fraser River Sockeye”, he discussed the causes for the decades-long decline in the proMargaret ductivity of Fraser EVANS River sockeye salmon and made 75 recommendations to help improve the salmon’s future sustainability. Recognizing there was no convenient “smoking gun”, Cohen said, “Further research is crucial to understanding the long-term productivity and sustainability of Fraser River sockeye salmon.

Notably, a better understanding is needed of the migratory and feeding patterns in all marine areas. I heard enough evidence about warming waters to conclude that climate change is a significant stressor for sockeye and in combination with other stressors may determine the fate of the fishery.” In addition, the Cohen Commission report stated that declining stocks have been seen in most west coast rivers since the late 1980s from Washington State to the Skeena and Nass in B.C., the Klukshu in Yukon Territor y and Alaska’s Alsek River. The problem this year isn’t just with the Fraser River. Sockeye returns on the Skeena are the lowest in over fifty years. That shocker has led to an outright fishing ban. It’s no surprise given the long hot and dry summer this year that

water flows and temperatures on the Fraser River have been anything but normal. According to the Pacific Salmon Commission, on August 26th the Fraser River water discharge at Hope was 2,500 cubic metres per second, 15 per cent lower than average for that date. Water temperature was 18.6C, 1.6C higher than average for the same date. Weather the past week has been variable with some heat and rain which should regulate the temperature to improve migrating conditions. The summer run sockeye really do face the greatest challenges since their migrations coincide with weather conditions typically defined by hot temperatures and low water levels. Rivers and streams warm substantially. The salmons’ migration runs are long and the heat can drain their energy making them vulnerable to disease and cardiac arrest. They are at risk of dying before

spawning. The original forecast for the summer run sockeye was 3.7 million fish but that has been adjusted to 2.4 million. Late run sockeye are estimated at 450,000. When numbers are low, any conservation measure to get nets out of the water is a move in the right direction. As much as sockeye numbers are predictably low, pinks are pretty healthy. The PSC increased the run size estimate for the Fraser River pink salmon from 10 million to 14 million fish. Up the B.C. coast there have been healthy harvests of coho and chinook stocks. Given the sockeye’s four-year cycle and the spectacular 2010 return, we should be looking forward to a healthy 2014 run and fishing opportunities for everyone.

Service honours wartime sacrifice Reflect back on your life at 19, 20, 21 years of age and imagine not being sure you would ever be able to see your loved ones ever again; your Mom, your Dad, your sister or brother, even that special someone with which you would like to spend more time. With the age of majority set at 21, many Battle of Britain pilots were not old enough to vote but not too young to lay down their lives in the struggle to save Britain from coming under the tyranny of unbridled aggression. The life expectancy of a pilot was about 87 flying hours; that’s less than four days! All things considered, you had maybe two weeks, though some died within hours of first flying a plane and some lasted over a year. Flying during the war meant you had only a slim chance of survival during

terrifying haze of aerial warfare. “Dogfighting exacts a fearsome toll from the frail human body and its senses, aside from the immediate stress of combat. Flying at 30,000 ft in an unpressurized environment with no cockpit heating and little by way of special flying clothing, the din pounds the eardrums and the g-forces lead to blood draining from the brain causing the nightmare of blackouts. The pilot has to summon every ounce of his physical and mental strength to maintain control against the huge elemental forces acting against his body, mind and aircraft. The environment inside the cockpit was as hostile as the one outside”.

Show support in Parkinson’s disease fight Parkinson’s Super Walk, Walk for the Cure, Vancouver Sun Run: Almost every week we are asked to join others in one particular activity or another. Why so many? The simple answer is money for research. Look at Parkinson’s disease, for example. Virtually a small army of scientists are active in research laboratories all over the world working studiously in their quest to find a

cure for this debilitating disease. These people must be supported financially, one way or another. Some famous celebrities, such as Michael J. Fox and Muhammad Ali (both have Parkinson’s) have set up research foundations and attract donations world wide. For instance, one of the owners of Google discovered he may be a candidate for Parkinson’s because his mother has it. He wanted to help find

a cure and donated $130 million to the Michael J. Fox Foundation. So what can the little guy to the raise money? Fortunately here in Chilliwack there is a wonderful Parkinson’s disease support group that meets at 2 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month at Evergreen Hall. In fact, they will stage their annual Parkinson’s Disease Super Walk on Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 2 p.m.. This

is a two-kilometre route along Spadina Ave. to the library and return. Would you like to walk with them? They would love to have you along. Donations may be made online at www.parkinsonsuperwalk.ca, or at the Evergreen Hall during the walk. There will be T-shirts for walkers, and bandanas for dogs. Also rain ponchos, just in case.

Friday, September 6, 2013 The Conservatory at Minter Gardens 52892 Bunker Road, Rosedale, B.C.

A call to save Minter Gardens and beyond;destination for tour groups speaks for itself. Not to forget the courtesy and friendliness of the dedicated staff. All this is further enhanced by the musical groups,relaxed space for conversations,cof fee,weddings and the tasty dinners,snacks in Trillium Restaurant. I would like to suggest an idea for perpetuating Minter Gardens, to keep this jewel and gift to the Fraser Valley to suggest to Jim Pattison to add to his philanthropic repertoire among these the very special contribution of the Jim Pattison Pavilion to the Vancouver General Hospital. One could list

even more contributions to this “made in BC” philanthropist. In all of this not to forget the pioneer and founder of Minter Gardens,surely a Chilliwack icon,also the Chancellor of the University of the Fraser Valley. If you are on the same page with this idea please express your views in the local press. What I would like to do is collect these,bundle them up and send them to the Jim Pattison Foundation by registered mail within the next week or two. Of course send him your request and views as well.

• 6pm bar • 7pm dinner • 8pm concert Share a memorable evening with friends! Tickets are $95 6-13T BH23

I suspect the anticipated closure of Minter Gardens has dominated the minds of a multitude of Minter Gardens this summer, more than any other issue. There is a need for this lament to turn into every effort to prevent this termination of this most successful community attraction which has endured since it’s opening in 1980. Minter Gardens is ranked No. 1 among the nine Chilliwack tourist attractions. No surprise there! A stroll through the weed free, amazing arrangements and varieties of flowers, shrubs,paths and walkways. The delight of families,seniors, tourists from the Lower Mainland

This year 23 ‘canoe families’ took part in the Pulling Together Canoe Journey. SUBMITTED

Pulling Together: A journey of discovery Eric Welsh The Progress JD Fredette isn’t a singer, and never in his life would he have imagined himself belting out a spirited rendition of I’m Sexy and I know it. Yet there he was, with his heavily french-accented voice, making like LMFAO. When I walk in the spot, this is what I see! Everybody stops and they staring at me! The audience laughed. Many joined in. As Fredette launched into the chorus he surveyed the scene and marveled at what he saw. RCMP officers and native youths, together, acting like allies and not adversaries. Here, in this moment, they were friends. ❖❖❖

The 2013 Pulling Together Canoe Journey started bright and early July 27, with canoes hitting the frigid surface of Mara Lake, gliding over the beautiful blue water sandwiched between the communities of Sicamous and Enderby. They were an impressive vision as they moved en-masse towards their day-one stop at Old Town Bay. These weren’t the canoes you

see clinging to the shores of Cultus Lake on a sunny summer day. Nope. These were big traditional ones, each of them carrying 10-17 people plus all of their gear. From a few miles off, they were little more than specks on the horizon. But as they got closer, as the sound of drumbeats and singing carried over the water, they became a sight to behold. The first Pulling Together Canoe Journey dates back to 1997, when it was called Vision Quest. A second one was held in 2002, and it has run annually since, all over the province. Only three canoe families participated 11 years ago. This year, there were 23. Fredette, an RCMP officer working in the Chilliwack area, did his first Pulling Together Canoe Journey last year, paddling up the Pacific coast to Powell River on a boat provided by the Abbotsford Police. The experience was enjoyable and rewarding, and over the winter, he had the idea to put together his own ‘canoe family.’ Easier said than done of course. Step one was to get a massive canoe, and they aren’t easy to come by. Fredette found one that was

formerly owned by the Mission RCMP, and after far more wrangling than he’d bargained for, he got the boat. “It was a really big one that held 17 people, and there were lots of jokes about it during the journey,” he said. “We probably had the biggest one on the water, and when we came paddling up the others said, ‘Look! The cruise ship is beside us!” Next, Fredette had to recruit his ‘family.’ He was looking for youths in the 15-21 age range, youths who would benefit from a journey designed to foster ties of cooperation between First Nations and agencies like the RCMP. Fredette recruited two members of the Ridge Meadows RCMP detachment, and they brought some First Nations people from the Katzie reserve. From the Chilliwack area, he found people from the In-SHUCK-ch Nation. There were a couple people associated with the Abbotsford Police as well.” The Mara Lake to Old Town Bay trek was the first of six travel days. They paddled from Old Town Bay to St Ives, St Ives to Celiste, Celiste to Little Shuswap, Little Shuswap to Pritchard and

Pritchard to Kamloops. “The shortest day on the water was about 16-18 kilometres and the last day was 38 kilometres on the Thompson River, which took about six or seven hours,” Fredette said. “It was physically demanding, which took many of the youths by surprise. I had no problem with that because I’m in pretty good shape, but there were other issues to deal with on a daily basis.” Family was an accurate description of Fredette’s crew. Like a family, they got along at times and bickered at others. “We dealt with issues just like you would a regular family, and on a regular basis we got together in a circle to talk about things people wanted to discuss,” he said. “I was the skipper, and they looked to me to lead. But it was together that we found solutions to get the family moving forward. At the end of it, I think we had respect and feelings for each other. We really did feel like a family.” The journey was broken up by a cultural and talent show day on July 31. This is what Fredette enjoyed the most. The sights and sounds will be forever engraved in his mind.

“I really wanted to get to know their culture more, and from this I learned that they are strong people with strong beliefs about the land and water. They have powerful belief in their ancestors and respect for their elders, which is something that is hard to understand from the outside,” he said. “But when you see the ceremonies and hear them talk about their culture — the more I learn the more I respect and understand them, and the better service I can provide when I deal with them.” If he learned a lot from the First Nations youth, he also hopes they learned a bit about him. “This was a great opportunity to show that behind the badge there is a person. JD Fredette is a person with feelings that cares about people, and he’s also a guy who sometimes has a job to do,” he said. “There are all these stereotypes. But before you can judge people you have to get to know them. You have to assess each person and not paint everybody with the same brush. That’s the biggest thing I took from this.” Get more info on the Pulling Together Canoe Journey online at pullingtogether.ca ❖

enough electricity supply to meet growing demand for the next 10 years. Bennett said he is skeptical about that forecast, with population growth and industrial demand from new mines and natural gas development in northern B.C., but it gives the utility some breathing room. “I’m a real fan of the clean energy industry, but obviously we don’t want to be agreeing to buy more power than what we need,” Bennett said. BC Hydro has been criticized in recent years for running up billions in deferred debt, as it completes expansion and seismic upgrading of its network of dams. A new power line to northeast B.C. has run over budget, and the NDP opposition has accused the government of forcing BC Hydro to buy private power at inflated rates through contracts running as long as 40 years.

â€œWe are proud that local companies like IMW are finding success in global markets because we know that this helps create good jobs and benefits here at home,â€? said Strahl in a statement released Thursday. Under the agreement, IMW anticipates supplying a suite of its CleanGAS Technology products and services for the construction of up to 310 stations. Â This is in addition to the 124 stations IMW has already equipped in China; all equipment is manufactured at IMWâ€™s facility in SuzhouTaicang, China.Â Â Â Â Â â€œChina has grasped the potential of natural gas as an alternative to gasoline and diesel fuel and is aggressively building the necessary infrastructure to realize this potential,â€? said Andrew J.

China Gas has secured financing for

Chilliwackâ€™s IMW Industries has secured a three-year, $167 million US agreement to supply China with an array of compressed natural gas technology. The company, headquartered in Chilliwack and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clean Energy Fuels Corp, signed a master purchase contract last week with China Gas Holdings Ltd. to supply up to 416 natural gas compressors and related technologies for the construction of up to 310 public access compressed natural gas (CNG) stations in China.Â â€œThe spirit of China Gas is built on integrity, innovation and cooperation; our agreement today with IMW is an example of this spirit in practice,â€? said Liu Ming Hui, executive chairman, managing director and president of China Gas Holdings.Â â€œIMW is the worldleader in natural gas vehicle compression technologies and the ideal strategic partner for China Gas as we continue to meet the growing transportation needs of our customers in an environmentally sustainable manner.â€?Â Mark Strahl, MP for the riding of ChilliwackFraser Canyon, hailed the agreement, which he said was facilitated through $250 million financing agreement between China Gas and Export Development Canada.

The Chilliwack

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Young Butcher follows in family footsteps Eric J. Welsh, The Progress At a Chilliwack Chiefs training camp practice last week, Ben Butcher was spotted wearing Quebec Nordiques hockey pants and Vancouver Canucks hockey socks. That, of course, raises the obvious question. Does Garth Butcher know his son raided his closet for gear? Once upon a time, Garth played for the Canucks and Nordiques. The hardnosed blueliner logged 14 years for Vancouver, St. Louis, Quebec and Toronto before calling it a career after the 199495 season. Ben was born in March of 1995, and never saw his dad play an NHL game. “I’ve looked him up on YouTube, and it’s mostly a lot of fights,” he laughed. Garth accumulated 2,302 penalty minutes in 897 big-league games, with a career high of 23 points in 1987-88. Ben’s brother, Matt Butcher, racked up 109 PIMs in 54 games playing for the Chilliwack Chiefs during the 200506 season. Ben served 41 sinbin minutes in 54 games with the Langley Rivermen last year, carrying on the family tradition of grit and pugnacity. But there’s a skill gene there too. One year in junior, while playing for the Western Hockey League Regina Pats, ol’ Garth lit the lamp 24 times, racking up 92 points in 68 games. Ever yone recalls Matt netting 38 goals and 101 points in 57 games during his final BCHL season in 200506. And if Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl is to be believed, Ben may be more skilled than either of them. “It’s funny because Matt says that too,” Ben chuckled. “But I really don’t know what they see.” What the 18-year-old sees when asked for a self-scouting report is a guy who will chuck

his body around, create space for his linemates, dish and shoot the puck. “I play very competitively, and when I get on the ice I get fire in my eyes and I want to bang bodies and get into the dirty areas,” he said. “But it definitely means a lot hearing Harvey say I’ve got skill. It really sets high goals for me, and it’s nice that both Harvey and Matt see that in me.” Butcher’s arrival in Chilliwack is oddly reminiscent of Austin Plevy’s prior to last season. Like Plevy, Butcher wasn’t primed to shine in his last hockey stop. He played 54 regular season games, but logged a lot of bottomsix minutes. Butcher finished 11th among Rivermen forwards in scoring with just 10 goals and 18 points. Smyl has proven adept at picking up underutilized play-

ers and placing them in position to flourish, and this big-bodied Bellingham native could be the latest find. “It was my first year in the league and a growing year for sure, learning to play at this pace,” the six-foot-two and 190 pound center said of the 2012-13 campaign. “The parallels between Austin and myself might be somewhat fair. Coming to Chilliwack, which is an awesome place to play, obviously I’m not too unhappy with the trade.” Ben was 10 years old when his big brother played in Chilliwack. Prospera Centre was brand new when he sat in the stands, marvelling at the speed of the junior A game. “I remember sitting there thinking, ‘these guys are gods,’” he said. “It seems pretty weird that I’m at that point now in my career.” Matt went on to get drafted by the Canucks,

in the fifth round of the 2005 NHL entry draft. He got his schooling done with four years at Northern Michigan University and wound his hockey career to a close in 2010-11 with the ECHL’s Victoria Salmon Kings and Cincinnati Cyclones. “I talk to him a lot on the phone and he gives me a lot of life advice that comes in handy away from the hockey rink,” Ben said. ““He tells me to always stay true to myself.” Garth, used to playing in the big-league spotlight in front of thousands of fans, has also given Ben plenty of advice on his hockey journey. His words of wisdom are simple. “He’s always told me to go hard, take the body and be a tough guy to play against,” Ben said. “He’s always been intense, but positive, with me.” Off the ice, Ben plays golf when he can, and

he’s big into water sports. Since arriving in Chilliwack he’s played one not-so-successful round at the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club. “I hadn’t played in a little bit and I think I shot a 105,” he grimaced. “On one of the holes I just couldn’t get it out of the bunker. Took me six or seven shots.” Welcome to the club. Hockey players seem to gravitate naturally to golf, so Ben should find some golfing buddies in the Chiefs locker room. It is one way to help himself fit in and find a home. “It’s the second year I’ve moved to a new team, but it’s been pretty easy so far with how they’ve welcomed me,” he said. “All of these guys are great and it’s been a real easy adjustment so far.” Butcher and company open their season at next weekend’s BCHL Showcase.

Chiefs get first win The Chilliwack Chiefs got their first preseason win Thursday night, edging the Surrey Eagles 3-2 at Prospera Centre. The Chiefs dominated the shot clock, holding a 42-18 edge. But they need a third period rally to get the W. Chilliwack out-shot the Eagles 20-3 in period one, and opened the scoring in the final minute on a goal by Mitch Plevy. Plevy finished off a cross-crease feed from Jordan Kawaguchi, firing a sharp-angle shot past Surrey keeper Victor Adamo. The lead stood up until early in the third period, when Surrey scored twice to surge ahead. Michael McEachern sniped a top shelf shot over the glove of Chilliwack netminder Lyndon Stanwood at 3:27. Just over a minute later, Cam Seto beat Stanwood five hole as the stopper tried to peer through a mob of players. The Chiefs battled back at 7:37 on a goal by Austin Plevy, who fought off an Eagle defender to stuff a backhand wraparound past Surrey goalie Scott Lapp. At 13:41, Jaret Babych dangled his way across the goal mouth, slipping the game winner past Lapp. Stanwood went the distance in net for Chilliwack, which finished the preseason schedule at 1-2-1.
