LNG refuelling station will be a first for BC Alina Konevski The Progress A refuelling station for long-haul trucks that use liquefied natural gas (LNG) is expected in Chilliwack within months. The station is the first of its kind west of Calgary, city council heard Tuesday. Chinese-owned ENN Canada Corp. is quickly creating a network of LNG refuelling stations across the country, with Chilliwack first up in western Canada. The plan is to work with transport companies and engine manufacturers to retrofit entire fleets of long-haul trucks from diesel-based engines to LNG-based engines. Refuelling with LNG will cost 20-40 per cent less per litre than diesel, according to ENN project manager Stephen Rohling. The new network of refuelling stations would provide truck drivers the confidence they need to use LNG trucks. “It’s new, it’s in its infancy. It’s a chicken and egg scenario. Which do we build first, the station or the trucks? We are trying to combine it so that the station and the trucks are going to be coming online at the same time,” said Rohling. At Tuesday’s city council meeting, the City of Chilliwack approved ENN’s application to rezone their property at 44037 Progress Way to permit a natural gas bulk storage and sales facility and service station. Once all the paperwork is done, building the station will take about nine months. LNG will then be trucked in. Chilliwack is a natural stopping point for trucks travelling across Canada, as well as those coming in from Seattle and further inland, said Rohling. ENN is planning similar refuelling stops at every 600 km or so on major routes. Rohling himself is looking at 17 sites in B.C. and Alberta.
The Chilliwack Corn Maze is seen from the sky in this aerial photo taken on Wednesday. The local tourist attraction is celebrating its 15th season this year and the design in the maze features a Mountie on horseback in recognition of the RCMP’s 140th anniversary and the RCMP Auxiliary Constable Program’s 50th anniversary. The maze also features the Raise a Reader program logo, which is this year’s featured charity for the maze. The Chilliwack Corn Maze is now open until Halloween.

Within months of leaving office, former Chilliwack MLA John Les has been hired as a professional opponent to Metro Vancouver’s waste-to-energy incinerator plans. Les registered as a lobbyist for Belkorp Environmental Services last month, an appointment that extends until Aug. 1, 2014. The company owns Wastech Services, which operates the Cache Creek Landfill. “I was approached by them. Obviously their objectives fall very much in line with what has historically been my position on waste management in the Lower Mainland,” said Les. “The objective is that there would be no waste incineration in the Lower Mainland. I think the residents of the Fraser Valley here share that objective.” During his time as MLA, Les vehemently opposed the proposed WTE project, citing concerns about emissions from the incinerator damaging the sensitive Fraser Valley airshed. As a lobbyist, he will continue to advocate for solutions other than incineration. “There is a requirement to maximize recycling before other options such as incineration. Landfilling should be considered. And if we do a good job of recylcing, then actually the very best fuels for incineration are taken out of the waste stream,” said Les. “We’ll obviously be pointing those things out, and we think there are better and more enlightened options for dealing with waste management, that will likely be much cheaper for the ratepayers.” The part-time position is “natural” for Les.

TV series begins shooting Thursday in Agassiz Jessica Peters The Observer Set construction came to a frenzied pace on Wednesday in Agassiz, in preparation for the filming of a television series. Shooting starts Thursday morning, along Pioneer Ave. The entire street has been redesigned to portray the imaginary town of Wayward Pines, ID. The road will be completely closed to traffic and parking on Thursday and Friday, said location manager David Tamkin. But, two dozen production assistants will be on hand, redirecting traffic through Agassiz and helping people find
parking. While the street is closed to traffic, all businesses will remain open. Changes will also be seen for transit those days. Bus stops that are normally on Pioneer, outside Lordco and The Observer, will temporarily move to Cheam Ave., behind Lordco. “It will be just like when there is a parade in town,” he said. The excitement will wrap up on Friday night, but only temporarily. Many of the stores are completely covered in movie set facades. Those will be removed and stored for the next shooting days, sometime in October, Tamkin said. Any business that is currently disguised or has its
sign covered will be restored so that the business can operate as usual. All set dressings will be pulled away or secured, as well, such as the outdoor cafe that has been designed around The Observer office. However, the large set that is placed along Pioneer Park will remain in place until shooting wraps up in February. To keep the sets safe, the production company has hired 24 hour security, with two guards on site at all times. While the downtown may be feeling some minor inconveniences, with the constant construction, one way traffic and limited sidewalk space all through the week, there are some benefits, Tamkin added.
By the time the series is done filming next year, they will have spent about $1 million locally. “That’s a pretty accurate figure,” he said. “We are paying the District of Kent a monthly permit fee of a significant amount. There are also 30, 40 or 50 people staying in hotels, eating in restaurants, doing their laundry and all of that regular living stuff.” They’ve also hired a large crew of local labourers, although not as many as they’d hoped to. “We were not able to find as much local labour as we thought would could,” he said, due to a lack of available workers. He added that the union workers are all busy work-
ing on a George Clooney movie also shooting in Vancouver. And many of the local labourers were already booked up for the time needed. Of those staying from out of town, he estimates they’ve been using about 40 rooms a night in recent weeks. “All those things add up and essentially we’ll leave a million dollars in the area that wasn’t here before,” he said. Wayward Pines will star Matt Dillon, Carla Gugino, Terrence Howard and Juliette Lewis, among others, and is being directed by M. Night Shyamalan.
First day love for new CSS
Chilliwack to host national SAR conference Alina Konevski The Progress
Katie Bartel The Progress When Parker Hendsbee walked through the doors of Chilliwack Secondary for the first time, it was as though he had been dropped into Oz. But instead of Kansas, he was looking for Chilliwack. “It was too much to take in at first,” he said of his new school Tuesday morning. “It was surreal. I wondered if I was still in Chilliwack… the colours, the architecture, the design, it’s almost like this building doesn’t belong here.” Hendsbee, a Grade 12 student, was amongst a select group of students who were granted a first tour of the new school last Wednesday. He was blown away by the library, the double-wide stairwells, the brightness of the building, even the washrooms. “They’re almost as nice as the Cactus Club bathrooms,” he said. And on the first day of school, Tuesday morning, Hendsbee’s excitement had yet to wear off. “Just look at this library,” he said, peering down into the window-lit room from one of the many viewing locations. “This is amazing.” Compared to the old school’s cramped, dark space with “hospital lighting” and “prison-style” windows, the new space is definitely an improvement. With its floor-to-ceiling windows, wood beams, and the double row of cozy, coffee-shop style chairs, “it actually makes me want to read again, makes me want to hang out here, do homework here.”

Grade 12 student Dupreez Smith was most enamored with the gym, pointing to the school’s new logo on the floor, the subtlety of the navy blue CSS etched across the royal blue bleachers, the high ceilings. “It’s going to be a completely different atmosphere in here [game day],” said Smith, an avid basketball player. “School spirit is going to be through the roof.” Just as exciting was the science wing’s super lab, a full-functioning lab with several work stations separate from the classroom space. “It’s way above any other lab I’ve worked in,” said Smith, who plans on a career in medicine. “Some of the teachers have said that even in university they didn’t have labs as nice as this one.” But for Grade 12 student Evelyn Appleton, the expansiveness of the three-story building was somewhat intimidating, almost like the first day of middle school all over again. “I didn’t know where anything was,” she said. “It’s huge. It’s overwhelming.”

And yet, as the three students, all in their last year of high school, walked through the wide hallways of their new school their eyes lit up at the size of their Olympic handme-down lockers; the environmentally friendly water fountains eliminating the need for plastic bottles; the acoustics in the stairwell; the lack of bottleneck conges-
tion every which way they turned. And already they were brainstorming ways of leaving a legacy as the first graduating class of the new building. “We have a whole year to enjoy this place,” said Smith, “to put our stamp on it.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe
Chilliwack will be the site of a major search and rescue conference next month, city council heard Tuesday. SARscene 2013 will have nearly 500 SAR delegates from Canada and abroad flood the RCMP Pacific Region Training Centre (PRTC) in Chilliwack to show off their skills and share ideas about the latest trends and training in the field. The B.C. search and rescue teams are the busiest in the country, and receive more calls than the rest of Canada combined. The Chilliwack SAR team is one of the nation’s oldest and busiest. “The local search and rescue team is well-respected in the SAR community. They’re extremely active,” said Colin Weibe, vice-president of the B.C. Search and Rescue Association (BCSARA). “One reason for their workload is the incredible backcountry and recreation opportunities that are available here, and I argue that Chilliwack River Valley is likely one of the busiest recreation corridors in North America.” One day at SARscene will be dedicated to the SAR Games, where teams will compete in six intense challenges — from overnight survival skills to knot-tying to practical theory — designed to test their ground, air, and sea search and rescue skills. “The last time this conference was held in B.C. was in Victoria in 2007, and Continued: SAR/ p9

Lemonade fund raiser earns Chilliwack council’s applause Alina Konevski The Progress A young man in Chilliwack received an honour that he’s sure to tell his grandkids about decades later. Kai Manning was awarded a certificate of recognition from city hall on Tuesday. The nine-year-old captured the town’s heart last month when he started selling lemonade
to raise money for children with cancer at BC Children’s Hospital. Kai’s father, Bob Manning, passed away to the disease a few years ago. “I don’t want other kids and families to feel the same way,” Kai told The Progress on Aug. 8 when he had the lemonade stand open. As people pulled up to his house with bills, Kai ended up collecting a grand total of
$4,250 for the hospital. Chilliwack mayor Sharon Gaetz learned of the story through Facebook, where local RCMP Cst. Kevin Morris posted a plea to the community to support Manning. The post started with, ‘Have you ever had a moment when your heart sank, and you knew you had to do something?’ “When that arrived on my Facebook page, I thought
about it for a while, and it started to be reposted all over the place,” said Gaetz, who maintains an active presence online. She watched as residents from across town threw their weight behind Kai to help him sell some lemonade. “And I think Kai — probably beyond his wildest expectations — had to make a whole Continued: MAYOR/ p21

A family of five is homeless after their house was completely destroyed by fire just before midnight on Labour Day. The four-year-old, 3500-square-foot house in the 6400-block of Bearstone Place was fully engulfed in flames when firefighters arrived on scene around 11:40 p.m. on Monday, with fire venting from the roof of the second floor. Fire crews from Halls 1, 4 and 6 battled the massive blaze which took 90 minutes to get under control. The home is located in a fairly new residential area on Tzeachten Reserve, east of Vedder Road, off of South Sumas Road. Occupants of the home – alerted by a teenage girl – were able to escape from the home unharmed. There were no firefighter injuries. The cause of the fire is unknown and the incident will be investigated by the RCMP and by Chilliwack Fire Department officials.

ICBC is hiking auto insurance premiums almost five per cent in the latest government tax gouge. Make no mistake, the public insurer is just another arm of B.C.’s bloated government bureaucracy. This B.C. Liberal government’s constant messaging about what a low-tax regime it is offering rings hollow considering the premium it attaches to so many government services, from ferries, to MSP Premiums, even toll bridges. Critics, including the Consumers Association of Canada, point out that ICBC has become a cash cow for the government. The association says that since taking office, the Liberals have taken more than $1.2 billion out of ICBC. Yet now ICBC says it needs 4.9 per cent more in basic insurance. At the same time, the insurer forecasts a net income of $230 million this year and next. The corporation is accumulating funds. In 2002, ICBC’s reserves were $314 million – and there should be surplus to safeguard an insurer against an unexpected spike in claims. But there was a loud protest from critics when the agency said it would bring the reserves to $1 billion. By 2010, they were at $3.8 billion. There should be a formal determination of how much the Crown corporation needs in reserve, expressed as a percentage of the agency’s annual payout for injury settlements. The remainder of the reserves must be returned to B.C. drivers in the form of lower premiums. ICBC interim president Mark Blucher tries to defend the 4.9 per cent increase as insignificant, saying that the hike in basic insurance premiums will be offset by better deals, which will be offered on optional insurance. For years, ICBC has been allowed to take the tactic of raising basic premiums, while lowering optional product prices to compete with private insurers. There is only one good reason to have government in the insurance business – cheaper insurance for taxpayers. But it’s not. More affordable insurance could be had through private companies – a consumer need only log into the website of an Alberta insurer and get an online quote for their vehicle and coverage to see that. ~ Black Press

Another year, another school labour dispute VICTORIA – Another school year dawns in B.C., with the prospect of disruptive labour disputes. First up are 27,000 support staff, in a legal strike position. These are the teacher aides, custodians, bus drivers and crossing guards. Most are members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, with a few Teamsters and other locals scattered around the 60 school districts. Public discussion about these disputes usually focuses on wage increases, which CUPE members in schools haven’t seen for four years. Their current deals expired more than a year ago, after they were subject to the same two-year wage freeze imposed on the rest of government. The B.C. government moved from the post-recession wage freeze to a system they call “cooperative gains,” where raises

must be financed by savings in other areas of the operation. Only two provincial employee groups have yet to do this: school support staff and teachers. (Education Minister Peter Fassbender confirmed last week that teacher raises will be funded by extra transfers from Tom FLETCHER the provincial treasury as they try to get a long-term deal. But that’s a topic for another day.) CUPE, the largest union in the country, has a sophisticated media campaign to generate public sympathy. We are repeatedly reminded not only that the last raise was 2009, but that the “average” pay is a mere $24,000 a year. If that num-
ber is accurate, it reflects a large number of part-timers. Let’s look at a few provisions CUPE doesn’t talk about, on behalf of those self-employed taxpayers who have no paid holidays, no employer pension or benefits and no paid overtime, but are expected to help pay all of the above to government workers. The 60 contracts have many variations, but core elements are the same. In the Central Okanagan school district, the starting CUPE wage rate is $17.37 an hour. The top rate is $26.59, or $28.78 for workers who qualify for a “trades adjustment.” All contracts have rigid seniority and “bumping” clauses to ensure that new employees absorb any reductions in working hours. From a taxpayer’s perspective, this leads to the maximum number of employees making the highest
wages. Overtime in Central Okanagan is time and a half for the first two hours, and double time after that. Contracts also include the provision that unscheduled overtime is subject to a four-hour minimum. It’s amazing how often an unexpected hour of work can arise when it’s paid at quadruple time. The Surrey school district contract details how even “spare board” employees are to be enrolled in the municipal pension plan, a defined-benefit system most private-sector employees can only dream about. Then there are paid sick days. The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation reports that the average B.C. private sector worker took 7.4 sick days last year. The public sector average was 12. The Surrey contract details the windfall of unused sick days that

must be paid out to employees who retire as early as age 55. The maximum is 150 days, for a lavish perk only available to employees hired before July 1, 1996. Even so, we’ll be paying these bonuses out for years to come. It goes on and on. Six weeks’ paid vacation after 20 years, with an extra day added for every year after that. There are many little things, such as a $60 “swimsuit allowance” for teacher aides who take part in swimming instruction. This is not to devalue the work done by these people. It is to suggest that given the growing gap between public and private employment benefits, finding savings is reasonable.

Do you know where your kids are? I live near the baseball park on Fairfield Island. My motherin-law is getting a bit older and is not comfortable being on her own anymore, so she is living with us now. This past weekend we had out-of-town guests. Her daughter was married on Saturday, so we had parked mom’s car on the street in front of our own house in our wonderful neighbourhood, only to be
woken up by police at 1:30 a.m. They told us some teens had been roaming through the area and had vandalized cars and the elementary school. My motherin-law’s car had a rock about one-foot round thrown through her back window. She is on a fixed income and now has to pay the $200 deductible to have it replaced. I would like to say to those
parents who think allowing their kids to roam the streets late at night is not a problem: Well, it is. And if you think your kids are behaving, likely they are not. If they were well-behaved and had some parenting at home they wouldn’t be roaming the streets late at night and being a burden and huge cost to the taxpayers, city and public. Corrie McDougall
Are there enough slobs in Chilliwack? I have been very concerned about the recent expansion of restaurant outlets in our city. It seemed to me that we could not possibly have enough patrons to leave their half eaten food on all those additional tables. How foolish I was to worry when the good people of Chilliwack were up to the challenge! A quick check at McDonalds this morn-
ing and then Tim Hortons this afternoon assured me that all is well. The usual crowds seem to have risen to the task and half consumed food and empty containers occupy most tables and often spill out into the parking lots. Who do we have to thank for this bounty of garbage left on open display? I have broken the patrons down into several categories for
easy study. 1) Geezers ( like me) who are likely in the early stages of dementia and cannot remember a time when you carried out the remainder of a meal to the receptacle at the door. 2) Teens who did not learn at home to clean ?up after themselves. 3) Teen workers who cannot take a break from their conversations to clean the tables and garbage cans.
4) Absent management who value ‘no brain/ no train’ as a company motto. 5) Parents who are determined to teach their children ‘someone else’ will look after their mess. We are fortunate indeed that there are enough of these slobs to employ an army of Hell’s Angels as the restaurant industry and our waistlines expand. Jack A. Bass

The City of Chilliwack is one of 15 finalists up for the 2013 Open for Business Awards. The awards recognize communities that “support small business through local-government measures aligned with the BC Small Business Accord.” The awards are issued by B.C.’s Small Business Roundtable, established in 2005 to be the voice for small business to government. Through its diverse sector membership of small-business owners and association leaders, the roundtable helps government develop strategies to support the growth and success of small business throughout the province. This year, the roundtable received submissions from 39 communities, with award evaluations based on how they enhance small-business competitiveness, recognize the contributions of small businesses to the community, and promote the principles of the BC Small Business Accord. Besides Chilliwack, the roundtable named the following communities as finalists: Central Saanich, Coquitlam, Fort St James, Kelowna, Lake Country, Langley, Peachland, Pemberton, Penticton, Pitt

“I see this as an ongoing part of my commitment I made to residents a long time ago. Whatever I could do to stop incineration, I would do that,” he said. Belkorp has a history of recruiting ex-politicos to tug at the Environment Minister’s ear. Former deputy minister to the premier Ken Dobell served as a company lobbyist, while former finance minster Gary Collins served as senior vice-president. Les’ expected lobbying target is Environment Minister Mary Polak, bus Les would not disclose specifics of his activities on Belkorp’s behalf. “What I do on behalf of my client is a matter that is between me and my client. I cannot freely discuss all of their affairs and all of the things that happen. But bottom line is, I will do the very best job I can to bring about results,” he said.

historic purposes as well as ongoing cultural practices such as winter dances and cedar bark stripping. As we drove the rough logging roads that wind throughout the valley I could not help Sam but WADDINGTON think of the rivers that feed the Chilliwack River being dammed and the huge cedars, firs and hemlocks that are at the core of the ecstatic experience I was having, being harvested. Currently there are only 14 “official” hiking trails in the valley however, as many of us are aware, there are many more trails that simply lack official designation. The lack of status can lead to industrial activities taking place right over top of the trail with no legal obligation to take this social resource into consideration. What is more, the endangered species list that calls these habitats home is long

Recently I had the opportunity to take a tour of the Chilliwack River Valley with a few of the major stakeholder organizations, and I discovered anew the beauty of the Valley. Our goal for the day, as we drove the roads, walked some of the trails, and experienced the forest and river, was to reflect on the future of the Valley. My perception going into our tour was that the track that we are on, and the future that could be for this beautiful piece of backcountry were vastly different. I wish I could say that my opening notion was entirely wrong, however these contrasting futures were not as far apart as I had feared. Representatives from Tourism Chilliwack, the FVRD, as well as myself were toured by Ts’elxweyeqw Tribe chief and operating officer Matt Wealick, who holds both cultural and economic interests in the valley. Matt has a unique perspective on things as his office is somewhat of a clearing house for many of the industrial operations applications put forth for the valley, everything from Independent Power Projects (IPPs) to logging and mining. However he also wears the responsibility of protecting First Nations heritage throughout the area and making sure that sacred places are protected both for

Boos said bans on B.C. residents through the provision have been sporadic so far, but there have been signs its use will grow. Some “hard core� border guards use it more than others, he said. “This has a chilling effect on cross-border trade and commerce,� Boos said, adding it’s open to abuse and discrimination. He’s confident the legal challenge should succeed because the U.S. enabling regulations indicate Canadian non-immigrants aren’t to be subjected to expedited removal. A ruling isn’t expected for six to nine months.

The area at Lickman Road north of the highway, from Yale Road West to Progress Way, is slated to become an even bigger truck hotspot.

Stan Rogers of Legacy Pacific, a company working with ENN on setting up the new station. Traffic congestion in the area is a concern. While the city has earmarked funds for an upgrade to the interchange flyover, the project is not yet an urgent priority. Chilliwack Liberal MLA John Martin made a rare appearance at city council to back the ENN
station. “I was personally and on behalf of the government very excited to hear that Chilliwack had been identified as potentially one of the very first places to have an LNG filling station,” said Martin. “I see it as a coup for Chilliwack, further putting us on the map.” The development of B.C.’s LNG industry is a main tenet of the B.C. Liberal’s economic plan,
and was a major platform cornerstone during this year’s election. Only a “limited amount” of trucks on the road are currently using LNG, but ENN expects that to change quickly. While the strategy first focusses on long-haul trucks, ENN will cater to locallybased fleets as well as smaller UPS-type trucks. Some waste trucks run by Progressive Waste

Solutions in Surrey are already using natural gas. News of the LNG station comes on the heels of an announcement last week that Chilliwackheadquartered IMW Industries had signed a $167 million agreement with China Gas Holdings Ltd. to supply the company with an array of compressed natural gas technology. ENN Canada’s parent company, ENN Group, has built about 200 LNG stations in China. It is creating a similar network of stations across the U.S. to take advantage of the country’s shale gas boom. Proponents of LNG argue that natural gas is a cleaner fuel than petroleum, with fewer carbon emissions. According to Rohling, LNG does not contaminate soil, cannot ignite when spilled, and is much safer than diesel. Opponents, however, point to the risk of flammability once LNG converts back to its gaseous state. Some studies have also shown that LNG can produce the same amount or more of emissions as other fossil fuels over the product lifecycle. akonevski@theprogress.com

And I thought, ‘I want to honour Kai here today.’” While other kids were having fun on a summer day, Kai was busy fundraising. “I know that you lost your dad, and that was very tough for you,” Gaetz told him on Tuesday. “And it made you very aware that other people are going through the very same kind of sadness and loss. And I love that you didn’t want that to happen to anybody else. I think you’re wise beyond your years.” Gaetz presented a certificate to Kai, which reads: ‘The certificate of recognition, Kai Manning, on behalf of the City of Chilliwack. Thank you for your selfless and compassionate efforts to raise funds for children with cancer.’ Gaetz further assured Kai that city hall doesn’t “just give these to anybody,” so Kai is “very, very special.” “I know it probably doesn’t mean a whole lot to you to just get a piece of paper from city hall, but you know
A kitchen fire damaged a mobile home in Chilliwack Sunday. The fire broke at around 6:30 p.m. at the home located in the 46000-block of Upper Prairie Road. On arrival, fire crews saw smoke from the roof of a mobile home with a lone occupant meeting them outside the home. The fire was found in the attic space and was quickly brought under control. The majority of the damage was done to the ceiling and roof of the building with no fire damage to the interior of the home. The occupant of the home was transported to hospital for possible smoke inhalation. There were no firefighter injuries. The cause of the fire was accidental, and due to cooking.

Jamison Dick his one-man electro-pop band Teen Daze to Where the Forest Songs Are at Island 22 this Saturday. SUBMITTED PHOTO
Musician comes home to play Chilliwack Katie Bartel The Progress Jamison Dick is used to selling out shows in major metropolis’, but at home, in Chilliwack he’s lucky if he gets a few dozen. In a way, he likes it that way. “It’s really nice to have home be home, to not have to be working all the time,” he said. “And I love playing a small room, talking to people individually after a show, reaching my audience on a more intimate level.” Dick, 27, is headlining this weekend’s Where the Forest Songs Are music festival on Island 22 with his one-man electro-pop band Teen Daze. Dick, who lived in Rosedale until he was 13 before moving
to Manitoba, and then returning again in his early 20s, has been growing an impressive fan base in the United States and across Europe. His band’s Facebook page has over 21,000 followers, and when he plays shows in places like New York City, San Francisco, Stockholm, Sweden, he has large crowds clamoring to see him. All by happenstance. When Dick started college, music was an easy outlet for procrastination from his studies. He played in bands, dabbled in home recording, set up a small studio in his apartment and made music for his friends. It was just a hobby. But when he uploaded his songs online, within one month he was
fielding email inquiries from different management companies. “It was a matter of being in the right place at the right time,” he said. “My music isn’t mainstream, it’s more niche, it attracts a crowd that’s more invested in discovering new bands, new music. And I think places like New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco have more of a scene that’s interested in the type of music I do.” Dick describes his music as being rooted in pop, but more rough around the edges than mainstream pop music. Being a one-man show, he samples his songs with various electronics. “Every show is different and unique,” he said. “It depends on the crowd, if they’re energetic, I’ll

play more upbeat dance music, but if they’re more low-key, chill, relaxed, I’ll accommodate them too.” This will be the second time Dick has played the Chilliwack festival. “Getting to share this, what I do, with the people in my life, it’s an amazing feeling,” he said. Where the Forest Songs Are is an all-ages show featuring several young, up-and-coming bands. The festival is on Saturday, Sept. 7 from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tickets are $20 or a family for $45. Children 12 and under are free. For more information visit the website www.wheretheforestsongsare.tumblr.com kbartel@theprogress.com

“It’s a celebration of this very, very wonderful vegetable that garnishes most dishes,â€? said Moran, owner of Fantasy Farms where the festival is being held. Moran laments the dried garlic most commonly found in grocery stores. Often imported from China, it’s stored in a warehouse for months, and by the time it finally reaches the shelves “it’s lost a lot of its energy.â€? “The garlic that’s grown in B.C. is totally, totally different than anywhere else in the world,â€? said Moran, noting garlic takes on elements from the soil it’s grown in. “When it’s fresh ‌ it’s way stronger.â€? The festival will not only be an opportunity to sample garlics, but will also provide an education into the world of
garlic, informing attendees on all the ways garlic can be used. “Every part of garlic is edible,� said Moran, listing uses for the bulbs, scapes, scallions, even garlic seeds can be used in such things as soups and salads. The family-friendly event will also feature a range of rockabilly music, a pin-up girls pageant, and a vintage market offering retro ‘50s style makeovers and photo shoots. The garlic and music festival is on Sept. 7 from 10-6 and Sept. 8 from 10-4 at Fantasy Farms located at 9423 Gibson Road. Adults $8, seniors and children $7.

di bl Huskers and Broncos meet again BCHL unpredictable The Valley Huskers host the Kamloops Broncos Saturday afternoon at Townsend Park (1 p.m.), trying to snap a two game losing skid. The Huskers are coming off an entertaining game with a disappointing result — a 40-33 home-field loss to Victoria’s Westshore Rebels last weekend. Their record sits at 2-2-1 as they face the only team they’ve ‘officially’ beaten this season. The Huskers and Broncos have met twice already, playing to a 29-29 tie in their first meeting Aug. 3. The Huskers beat Kamloops 33-30 one week later. Chilliwack’s other win was a 1-0 default, handed to them due to an Okanagan Sun roster error.
As hosts of this year’s national championship tournament, you know they will do whatever it takes to be a serious contender, writes Jacob Bestebroer

Chilliwack welcomes league at BCHL Showcase
Sixteen BCHL teams hit the ice for 16 games at Prospera Centre this weekend as Chilliwack hosts the second annual BCHL Showcase. Action starts at 3:30 p.m. Friday, with the Victoria Grizzlies and Penticton Vees facing off on the secondary rink. A half hour later, the Coquitlam Express and Merritt Centennials meet on the main sheet.
A tailgate party and corn roast is scheduled to run from 5 to 6:45 p.m., with 89.5 The Drive providing music and Fraser Valley Party Rentals providing games. Kai Manning will have his lemonade stand set up, with proceeds going to the BC Childrens Hospital. The hockey continues at 7 p.m., with Langley and Trail meeting on the secondary rink. The West Kelowna Warriors and Surrey Eagles have a 7:30 p.m. start on the main rink. Six games fill the Saturday schedule. The Nanaimo Clippers and West Kelowna Warriors face off at 3 p.m. (secondar y). Penticton takes on the Alberni Valley
Bulldogs at 3:30 p.m. (main). The hometown Chilliwack Chiefs play their first Showcase game at 7 p.m., hosting the Powell River Kings (main). The Cowichan Valley Capitals and Prince George Spruce Kings have a 6:30 p.m. start (secondary). Another six games go Sunday, starting with a 10:30 a.m. tilt between Powell River and Salmon Arm (secondary). Alberni Valley and Coquitlam have an 11 a.m. start (main). The afternoon matches have Prince George facing Nanaimo (2 p.m. on secondary) and Cowichan Valley taking on Trail (2:30 p.m. on main). Merritt and Langley
have a 5:30 p.m. date on the secondary rink, and Chilliwack and Vernon close out the Showcase with a 6 p.m. start on the main sheet. A large contingent of collegiate talent evaluators will be taking in the games. A weekend pass for the general public will cost $40 for adults/seniors, $30 for youths and $20 for children. A single-day pass will cost $17 for adults/seniors, $15 for youths and $12 for children. Chiefs fans will be able to purchase tickets to the two Chiefs games at regular walk up pricing. Get more info online at bchl.ca or chilliwackchiefs. net
The CJAHL pre-season rankings came out last week and three BCHL teams are in the top 20. The Penticton Vees are the top-ranked team at number two, followed by the Vernon V ernon Vipers at six and the Langley Rivermen at 15. Seeing those teams ranked where they are isn’t a surprise. But then again, I won’t be surprised if it doesn’t work out that way. Penticton will be very good again, and if Vernon isn’t deserving of that ranking right now, as hosts of this yyear’s ear’s national championship you know they’ll do whatever w hatever it takes to be a serious contender. For a couple reasons, the BCHL can be a very difficult league to predict. High turnover among players is one, and the addition of players from all over North America is the other. Langley being the top ranked team in the Mainland division makes sense. They start the season with w ith 15 players with junior A experience, and a head coach in former Chief Bobby Henderson who now has a full year of head coaching experience at this level. All indications are they’ve brought in a strong group of new players including Darien Craighead, the son of former Chief John Craighead. Vancouver Former Canuck Peter Schaeffer takes over the head coaching duties for the defending BCHL champion Surrey Eagles. With 16 new players,
albeit several with Junior A experience, it may take a while for the Eagles to find their way. The Coquitlam Express also have a new head coach in former Chiefs assistantt coach Barry Wolff. Barry is incredibly well connected in the world of junior hockey. Look for him to get thatt team, which included former Chiefs Shay Laurent, Ben Israel and Garrettt Forster, pointed back in the right direction. The Chiefs will have 14 new players in their opening night lineup, twelve off them14 players will be playing at this level for the firstt time. Gone are the likes off goaltender Mitch Gillam, the best goalie in the league the last two years, as well as defensemen David Thompson, Laurent, Alex x Perron Fontaine and Ben Masella. That is a difficultt group to replace. What we’ve seen through training camp and the exhibition games is a group with a lot of skill. The big questions are how long it will take for them to fully adaptt to this level of hockey and how long it will take forr them to come together as a team. Remember, many off these players did not know w each other a month ago and two weeks ago they were competing for spots on the team. I’m confident it won’tt take them long to find theirr groove. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

The Connor Richey award is meant to go to players who share these attributes and certainly Aaron and

He’s joined by Sardis secondary school grads Matt Gudmundson and Kyle Hayhow and Brookswood (Langley) alum Scott Benstead. Chilliwack Golf and Country Club assistant pro Brad Clapp is Bertram’s assistant coach.
Brent fit the bill.” As Pauls and company did their thing, the UFV women’s golf team made their debut memorable, going 4-0 to capture their own Coquihalla Cup title. Dani Shap (Mission) won the skills competition and her Sunday singles victory sealed the win for the ladies.

McNeill wins field lacrosse gold Rematch goes to Longhorns Chilliwack’s Connor McNeill is a national champion. The 16 year old joined 20 BC boys in Longueuil, Quebec, last week for the Canadian Field Lacrosse Championships. Playing at the U-16 level, McNeill helped his team to a 3-0 record in group-play. McNeill and company started off swatting their archrivals from Ontario 11-7. Game two saw them edge the Iroquois Lacrosse Association 14-13 in sudden death overtime. Game three was a laugher, a 23-1 rout of Alberta that left McNeill’s crew first in the Red group. In their first playoff game, Team BC played Quebec in a one-versusfour matchup. Team BC demolished the hosts 16-2, setting up a gold medal match with Ontario. Team BC blitzed Ontario in the early going, taking a 6-1 lead just five minutes in. They led 12-6 through three quarters and cruised to a 14-9 final. McNeill was original-

ly supposed to fill the lefty attack position for Team BC, but ended up playing midfield. The only local lad in the tournament, he scored one goal and added a handful of helpers as Team BC won for the third year in a row. McNeill also won a
silver medal in 2011, representing BC at box lacrosse nationals. He played for Team Talon at the U-15 US National Championships in Florida last summer, placing fourth out of 26 teams. The Chilliwack
secondary school student and Chilliwack Mustangs product will be heading south in November. McNeill has been invited to a recruiting tournament in Baltimore, where he’ll strut his stuff in front of 100+ collegiate coaches.

The minor football season kicked off last weekend, with Chilliwack’s bantam Giants facing the North Delta Longhorns. In a rematch of a preseason game won by Chilliwack, the Longhorns got revenge with an 18-14 win. North Delta took an early lead on back to back majors, both off long runs. Down 12-0 at halftime, Chilliwack rallied behind quarterback Gabe Olivares. The pivot hooked up with wideout Trey Isaac on a 60 yard pass-and-run TD. The Longhorns answered right back with a major to make it 18-8. Chilliwack got the last points, with a 45 yard Issac pass reception getting the Giants inside the 10 yard line. Olivares finished the drive himself, finding paydirt from three yards out. Running back Karan Deol was a key offensive contributor. Several big runs forced the Longhorn D to adapt, open-
ing things up for Chilliwack’s passing game. Defensively, linebackers Austin Penner and Cam Lampart were solid, wreaking havoc behind disruptive defensive linemen Chris Derksen and Emerson Harvey. Warren Rogers made plays all over the field. ● The junior bantam Giants had a rough start to their season, falling 36-0 to the Meadow Ridge Knights. Led by quarterback Colin Campbell and running back Hudson Harvey, the Chilliwack offence moved ball. But finishing drives was a problem. A 20-yard catch and run by Josh Balzer had the Giants inside the 15 yard line early, but they couldn’t punch it in. The defence was led by tackling machine Cash Weich and hard hitting Justin Crooks. “There were a lot of positives, and these young men showed true grit and determination,” said head coach Bryan Harvey. “We continued to move the ball and our defense made a lot of stops. We have to focus on blocking and tackling, and it will be a much different game when we play them again.” ● Chilliwack’s pee-
What Say U?
wee Red Giants faced Meadow Ridge Gold in their opener, losing a 12-6 heartbreaker. Chilliwack’s lone touchdown was scored by Logan Buchwitz, following a dazzling kick return by Dylan Hawkins. The defence was lead by the fearless tackling of Jackson Saunders and Liam Poulton. ● The peewee Blue Giants gave up the tying touchdown in the final minute, settling for a 12-12 draw with Meadow Ridge Blue. Kurtis Flynn scored two touchdowns and ran for tough yards all game long. Fearless safety Dawson Weich led the defence, flying all over the field to force fumbles and knock down passes. ● The atom Blue Giants faced the North Langley Bears at Townsend Park, dropping a 28-14 decision. DJ Stephens collected more than 100 yards on the ground, including a 70 yard touchdown run. Quarterback Travis Richley completed passes to Carter Dallas and Matthew Phillips, and scored the second Chilliwack major on a QB keeper. Linebackers Jace Nessel and Raiden Mastin were strong on defence.

He remained dedicated to medical education and public access to medicine throughout his career of almost 50 years. In 1975 he volunteered with CARE Canada as a neurological training specialist in Kabul, Afghanistan, an experience that he thoroughly enjoyed and remembered fondly for the rest of his life. He and Frances moved to Chilliwack, BC in 1988 where he practised as the sole neurologist in the Eastern Fraser Valley until his retirement in 2000.

SAVICH Sandra Lynne
mance, or a presentation. In her later years, as we all moved in our separate directions, she enjoyed her work as a security guard in and around the Chilliwack area, enjoying the individual peace and serenity that came with the position. On a few occasions, showing off some war wounds from those “you should have seen the other guy” moments. Thankfully, Mom and dad also began travelling on their own, and taking in the adventures of a semi-retired couple. Mom will forever be famous for her dry sense of humor and for being so guarded and private, but constantly giving. Mom’s ability to shop and the intricate, love-filled cross-stitch designs and gifts she made constantly for her friends and family will be cherished forever, and always. As a family, we would like to thank the patience, time and expertise of the countless healthcare professionals, nurses, specialists and doctors at Chilliwack General, Abbotsford General and St. Paul’s Hospital who worked tirelessly to bring mom her health back. Your efforts and diligence will never be forgotten and we are grateful for the years and support you gave her and us. Our difficult, yet supportive but irreplaceable mother is survived by her devastated husband of 32 years Mike, and us her three children; her mother, Phyllis Brandow and two sisters Sharon and Heather, and their respective families. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to either the Kidney Foundation of Canada, British Columbia Branch or the St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation: St. Paul’s Heart Center. As per mom’s final requests, and her known hatred for crowds and being the center of attention, final arrangements and goodbyes will be private family affairs. For further details, please contact McLean’s Funeral Services. Condolences and notes of sympathy can be delivered or mailed to The Savich Family c/o 4565 Lark Road Chilliwack V2R 3N5. “What we have once enjoyed we can never lose; all that we love deeply becomes a part of us- forever.” ~Helen Keller

It is with extremely heavy hearts we announce the passing of Sandra Savich August 27, 2013 after numerous prolonged and difficult health battles. Sandra Lynne Brandow was born March 27, 1955 in Weyburn, Saskatchewan to Lawrence (Larry) and Phyllis Brandow. The youngest of three daughters, her childhood years were filled with unforgettable memories of adventure and travels. Always the devoted daughter, Sandra followed her parents in their move to Vancouver Island from the Prairies and eventually to Chilliwack in the early 1970s, while her sisters and their families remained in and around the Winnipeg area. In Chilliwack, she met and married the love of her life, Mike Savich. They married August 8, 1981, establishing their life in Chilliwack and prospering. During this time together, Sandra and Mike welcomed us, their three children: Michelle, William and Steven. Eventually adopting the biggest child, Hudson, their purebred Newfoundlander in 2007, who despite early opposition became Mom’s constant shadow. In early 2004, Mom suffered a devastating stroke, but as a family, in true Savich form, we rallied through the good and the bad. After a shocking heart attack in 2006, we counted our lucky stars and stayed by her side. Numerous other health issues continued to plague mom since 2006, but she always fought back with immense attitude and fierce stubbornness. Even in July 2013, after her fourth heart attack, and with her own health deteriorating, mom wanted to be with Steven as he battled leukemia, wanting to constantly support him in his fight. However, Mom’s world famous stubbornness and tenacity, and our dedicated love and unwavering devotion to getting her home, could not help her beat kidney failure. Mom was always around and assuring us three kids (make that four, or is it five) were always well looked after- we knew we always had rides to practice or to late night rehearsals. Keeping us, our teams, and our employees well fed and watered, mom was always one to be one step ahead of us. We were ever so lucky to have a Mom that never missed a parent meeting, a volunteer opportunity, a game, a perfor-
