Ministry says byelection must be held
■ P ADDLING T OGETHER
Katie Bartel The Progress Despite an election just 14 months away, Chilliwack Board of Education has been ordered it must call a byelection to replace outgoing trustee Louise Piper. The board had hoped the ministry of education would approve a “special circumstances” request to overrule the school act and allow the board to continue with six trustees instead of seven for the remainder of the term. However, section 36 of the school act states a byelection must be held to fill a vacancy on a board if a trustee resigns prior to Jan. 1 of an election year. And because of the word “must” used in the directive, the ministry of education told the board Tuesday it would not be fulfilling its request. “I am very disappointed,” said board chair Walt Krahn. “This will take a fair amount of focus away from the work we do here, and we will also have to incur the expense of the election on our own.” For regular elections, the school district partners with the City of Chilliwack and shares the costs. However, secretary-treasurer Gerry Slykhuis estimated the cost of the byelection to be around $50,000, of which the school district will solely be responsible for. “In some ways [the expense accrued from a byelection] is worse because we are not sharing the cost with the City,” said Slykhuis. “It’s almost as costly as a full election.” The expense will mostly cover the costs of staffing voting stations and hiring a chief elections officer and deputy elections officer. The nomination period is from Oct. 15-25. The byelection is Nov. 30. Louise Piper took medical leave in January of this year. The district stopped paying her a salary in April, at her request. On Aug. 23, she resigned. Piper had been a trustee for four years and was in her second term on the board.

Chance to negotiate new recycling deal welcomed Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The extra time given to B.C. cities to decide how they’ll participate in the new product packing and printed paper recycling program is much appreciated in the Fraser Valley, said FVRD Chair Sharon Gaetz. “We’re pleased they have extended the deadline, but there are still a number of outstanding issues and concerns that need to be addressed,” Gaetz said yesterday.
The provincial program from Multi Material BC is geared to making retailers, goods producers and newspapers that generate waste packaging and printed paper ultimately responsible for the collection and recycling of it. There are still a range sticking points for local governments, such as impacts to air quality in the Fraser Valley, which is always a concern, Gaetz said. “MMBC would gain complete control of where the collected materials go after collection, leaving our municipalities with
no say whatsoever,” she said. “If they decide to bring the collected recyclables to an incinerator for example, that would be totally unacceptable.” People are also accustomed to discarding glass along with any recyclables. “They removed that option so it’s a step backward for service levels in our region.” Multi Material BC is under fire from civic leaders who are protesting what they call unreasonable terms for their cities to act as curbside recycling col-
lectors when the new system launches next spring. Much criticism centred having cities either commit to a contract to be a collector for MMBC, let the agency contract out blue box pickup to other collectors or else keep running recycling services without compensation from MMBC. The initial deadline of Sept. 16 was only for cities seeking to become contractors when the rollout takes place in May of Continued: RECYCLE/ p16

Mayors warn feds of medical pot mayhem ahead Health Canada faces call at UBCM to aid with transition Jeff Nagel Black Press Lower Mainland mayors are predicting disaster when Ottawa cancels medical marijuana growing licences in thousands of B.C. homes next spring in favour of new commercial producers. They warned federal officials at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention Tuesday that the transition – without any teeth to enforce closure and cleanup of the soon-to-be-illegal home grows – will push them further into the grip of organized crime and leave cities with a legacy of contaminated houses. “You created this nightmare,” Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman
told Health Canada representatives, noting Ottawa refused to identify licensees so cities could inspect them and ensure they’re safe. He said the federal government therefore has a moral obligation to help ensure medical pot grow houses are made safe so subsequent buyers don’t unsuspectingly move their families and children into homes with serious mould problems or electrical or fire code violations. “Fix the problem you helped create,” Banman demanded. “These people are going to close these homes down, they’re going to slap a little paint on and nobody is going to be the wiser. That is borderline criminal.”
Health Canada would take steps to remediate if it were tied to properties contaminated with asbestos, he suggested, so it should do the same when under B.C. law past use of a property as a grow-op must be disclosed for health reasons. Other mayors, including Chilliwack’s Sharon Gaetz and Kelowna’s Walter Gray, predicted medical growers won’t stop voluntarily. Said Chilliwack Mayor Gaetz:. “Health Canada is very responsible for what has happened to the homes in our communities and needs to step up and offer some compensation to local governments in the future for enforcement and to ensure those homes are remediated.” Asked by the mayor of Mission what will be done to ensure grow-
ers shut down, Health Canada’s Todd Cain said licensees will be notified they must cease production, decommission and remediate. “Beyond that, we’re really relying on them to follow the law,” he said, drawing laughter. “They’re going to take that letter and roll it in product and they’re going to smoke it – that’s what’s going to happen,” predicted Mission Coun. Dave Hensman. He demanded to know how Ottawa justified licensing 700 legal medical pot grows in Mission – a community of 30,000 people – and said he opposes his municipality spending a dime to clean up the problem. “I’m not going to shut them down and you’re not going to shut them down. So dude, it’s not
going to work.” Cain said privacy restrictions still prevent Ottawa from disclosing permitted grows. He said Health Canada could begin certifying legal producers within weeks and some of the expected 50 to 75 producers to be chosen nation-wide are expected to be in operation well before the official April 1 launch date of the new system. More than 100 licence applications have been received and about 40 are from B.C., most of them located in the Lower Mainland. Hensman said the Lower Mainland doesn’t need that many commercial growers, suggesting more be located elsewhere in Canada.
St. Thomas history enmeshed with Chilliwack’s Church celebrates its 140th anniversary Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The illustrious history of the St. Thomas Anglican Church dovetails with the history of Chilliwack itself. St. Thomas is celebrating 140 years in Chilliwack with a series of special anniversary events that kicked off on Sept. 8. “One of the purposes is to remind Chilliwack of its own history,” said Rev. John Sovereign about the 140th anniversary celebrations. “I’d also like the parish to appreciate what they’ve got, which is a very rich heritage.” The original church building, not the one that now sits at Gore and First, was floated down Harrison Lake on canoes before being rebuilt in downtown Chilliwack. It was actually the first structure on what would eventually be known as Five Corners. “Chilliwack grew up around the church and played a significant role in the community,” he said. The anniversary events kicked off last Saturday with a live band, a barbecue, church tours and oldfashioned games.

The next event is on September 29, with Vivian Seegers of Vancouver, an Anglican minister with First Nations roots will be talking about her work on the streets of Vancouver’s downtown eastside. The 140th anniversary celebrations continue in October with a historical Church of England service and luncheon complete with period costumes set for October 27. “Guests are invited to dress in period garb as well,” the reverend said. The service will contain a fair bit of singing in an older style of English during the historical church service. A banquet at the church hall is slated for Nov. 16 and will be open to the entire community. Also in the works is a commemorative book that will highlight the storied history of St. Thomas parish over the past 140 years, in conjunction with the Chilliwack Museum and Archives. December festivities will include a Dec. 5 concert by singer-songwriter Steve Bell and a special Christmas Eve Service as the 140th anniversary of St. Thomas Anglican Church comes to

an end. Here’s some of the key history of St. Thomas, gathered by resident Laura Reid. To serve new residents of the Township of Chilliwack, an unused church, St. Marks, built in 1862, was floated through the waterways on six canoes from Port Douglas on Harrison Lake to Chilliwack, to be reconstructed on an acre of woodland, donated by Isaac Kipp, where Five Corners is today. The church was renamed St. Thomas and consecrated on November 6, 1873 by the first Anglican
bishop of B.C., George Hills. Prominent Chilliwack pioneers instrumental in the establishment of St. Thomas Anglican Church included Isaac Kipp (18391921), Horatio Webb (1852-1936), Jonathan Reece (1831-1904) and John McCutcheon (1842-1926). To put the year 1873 in context, keep in mind B.C. was only a couple of years old, and the RCMP had just been formed, and the Township of Chilliwack was just established. This small church served the community of Chilliwack until a larger one was built in 1897 on the
same site at Five Corners in what would become Chilliwack’s downtown. Designed in the Carpenter Gothic style which was typical of English parishes, St. Thomas was built by hand with local lumber donated by church parishioners. The historic building was built with red cedar, douglas fir and maple. With the growth of Chilliwack concentrated around Chilliwack Landing and Wellington Ave., the land St. Thomas occupied at Five Corners was needed for future development. The church building was lifted onto rollers in 1919,
and with the assistance of the Royal Engineers, St. Thomas was transported to its current spot, where Gore and First Avenues meet. St. Thomas Parish continues to serve the community with monthly soup kitchens, seniors’ luncheons, a commitment of volunteers for the annual Salvation Army Christmas Kettle drive. Sunday worship services, weddings and funerals have been continuously held at St. Thomas for the past 140 years and remain vital functions of the parish. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

A recent trip to the United States showed Walter Dyck the power of the American agricultural sector: barns as far as the eye could see; more chickens on just one farm than the entire flock in British Columbia. What they lacked, however, was something common in Chilliwack – homes, and the families who manage those farms. Dyck, chair of the Chilliwack Agriculture Commission, was speaking during a break in the 12th annual Chilliwack Agriculture Tour. The difference, he said, between what he saw in the U.S. and what he sees here underscores the importance of agriculture to the local economy. The people who make that sector hum spend their money in the community. Indeed, agriculture accounts for 29 per cent of Chilliwack’s economic activity, keeping stores busy, and the people who work in the support services employed. With one in five jobs in Chilliwack related to agriculture, added John Jansen, president of Chilliwack Economic Partners, the sector is not only important to our current economy, it is critical to our future. Participants of this year’s tour got a glimpse of that future. They saw how family farms have grown and changed over the years, embracing new research and new technology in a bid to satisfy consumer demand, while remaining cognizant of the welfare of the animals in their care. And they saw how Chilliwack is moving toward becoming a centre of excellence in education and research in agriculture. But they began by seeing the literal fruits of that labour, and the potential of food production in the local market place.
One of the curious chickens inside the barn at Country Golden Yolks free-range farm.
Four years ago Sandel Foods opened its production facility in the Kerr Avenue Food Processing Park near Advantage Foods. The company, purchased by Vanderpol Food Group in 2011, is regarded as an industry leader in providing fruit fillings and products to the bakery industry across Canada. Depending on the season, the facility employs about 50 industry-trained people, most of whom live in the Fraser Valley. Although known as “Canada’s premier manufacturer of glacĂŠ fruit,â€? Sandel recently expanded its production capability. It now produces a selection of fresh, natural soups under licence for Happy Planet, which are available in distinctive pouches in most supermarkets. Another product found on many local food shelves is produced just down the highway. Jeff and Jo-Leen Bisschop operate a free-range chicken farm near Chilliwack Central Road in Rosedale. The farm is one of six family operations that provide free-range eggs under the Country Golden Yolks label. The Bisschops have about 15,000 layers at any one time, producing roughly 14,000 eggs a day. The
chickens, raised from hatchlings on the farm, are free to roam the outdoor pen (complete with misting stations to keep the birds cool), or inside the expansive indoor barn. The birds are fed a premium, high-protein all-vegetarian natural feed. The result, says Jeff Bisschop, is a happier (and therefore more productive) hen. Over at Dicklands Farm a similar concern for animal health is driving innovation. In the calf barn, for example, airflow is carefully regulated to provide the proper amount of circulation, without causing a draft at the calf level. The result is an engineered environment that is neither chilled, nor hot and humid for the animals. The farm currently has about 270 milking cows. But the innovations don’t end with the calves. Two years ago Dicklands introduced six robotic milking machines. The machines, which use lasers to guide the milking apparatus into place, do more than ensure adequate help is always on hand. The robots monitor the animals, registering how often they give milk, and how much weight they gain or lose. Each animal is equipped with transponder that not only holds important data, it can actually “listen� to the animal chew to determine the effectiveness of its feed composition. All that information is stored, monitored and analyzed to ensure optimum animal health, says George Dick. Robots do other work in the barn. There is a device that scurries along the barn floor to keep animal feed within reach. Another device helps scour the barn floor to keep it clean. And other innovations are on the horizon. Dicklands is currently working to build an anaerobic digester that will break Continued: UFV/ p5

The farm has already signed a contract with Fortis to sell methane gas into the pipeline network. The process will also enable the farm to sell separated nutrients, providing an additional revenue stream. At the same time, neighbours will benefit from less odour. But if George Dick has his eye on the future, he’s not the only one. At Canada Education Park, the BC Agriculture Centre of Excellence is starting to take shape. The foundation has been poured, and construction of the first of two, “poly-prop� greenhouses is underway.

It will facilitate partnerships between various faculties, like geology and biology, while enhancing programs in the trades and technology department. But the partnerships won’t end there, said Evered. The university is already in discussion with other universities, both here in Canada and elsewhere in the world. “We’re pulling this all
together to support this Centre of Excellence.� And they’re not doing it alone. Not only has the provincial government provided initial funding for the effort, it has provided specific instructions to various government departments to help make it happen. “We have the man-

However, trustee Barr y Neufeld expressed concern the program would grow too fast for the space of the school. “Are we going to get crowded and have another portable village?” asked Neufeld, referring to such schools as Promontory elementary, which has six portables on site. Superintendent Evelyn Novak said the district’s intention is to
grow the program with the school. However, if the success of EFI gets to be too much for Cheam, the district may consider requesting a new dual-track elementary school in a future five-year capital plan. “With this program, I hope it will provide viability and vibrancy to this school,” Novak said. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

be. Starting September 2014, Cheam elementary will become a dualtract English-French school, and is expected to attract 22-24 students for kindergarten and Grade 1 in its first year. Trustee Heather Maahs was pleased with the designation. “In a school with a declining enrollment, this is kind of saving the school too isn’t it?” she asked rhetorically.
Chilliwack school district is slightly ahead of last year with student enrollment. So far, the school district has 39 more full-time students this year than it did last year, excluding distance learning, continuing education, and alternative programs. However, while the student body has increased at the elementary school level, with 118 more students this year than last, it’s decreased in middle and secondary schools, with
approximately 79 fewer students this year than last. In total, the school district is recording 11,728 total students, which puts it back on an upward curve. Last year the district had decreased in student enrollment dropping from 11,743 students in 2011 to 11,686 in 2012. However, according to enrollment projections, the district’s student enrollment is expected to steadily increase well into 2027.

District of Kent adds voice to medical marijuana concerns The way medical marijuana is grown in Canada is about to change, and municipalities are quickly writing up bylaws to regulate the industry in their own backyards. Last Monday, Kent staff and council discussed ways they could both protect local neighbourhoods from large, industrial grow ops while providing options for potential industrial growth. The new, large scale medical marijuana growers will be looking for warehouse space between 30,000 and 100,000 square feet, while personal use licenses are being phased out. The new program takes effect on April 1, 2014. Staff told council that they’ve already had a number of producers making inquiries about bringing a production to the District of Kent.

District cites over crowded Promontory in latest request for school building funds The Progress Additions to Promontor y Heights elementar y, Sardis elementar y, and GW Graham secondar y top this year’s five-year capital plan priority list for Chilliwack school district. Combined, the three schools have 15 portables on site; six at Promontory, five plus a modular at Sardis, and 3 at GWG. Projections indicate student enrollment will continue to grow at those schools, which will require even more portables if not expanded in the future. “Promontor y Heights is almost in crisis as far as enrollment goes,” said trustee Heather Maahs. “They just keep building, building, building up there and there’s just no room for the children. It needs to be number 1.” However, topping the list does not guarantee funding approval. Ever y year the school district is required to submit a “wish list” for capital
funding to the B.C. education ministry. There is no guarantee funding will be provided, and oftentimes school districts must source funding elsewhere when they can no longer wait on government funding. The five-year capital plan is a method for indicating to the ministry of education the needs of a school district based on priority. “I’m not expecting anything to turn sod this year,” said Gerry Slykhuis, secretar ytreasurer. Still, trustee Doug McKay expressed opposition with an addition for Promontor y Heights again topping the list. Promontory Heights was built for 300 students, plus 88 kindergarten students. It has had six portables on site for several years to accommodate a much larger student population as a result of the area’s rapid growth. Currently the school has 545 students enrolled. McKay said the school’s infrastructure, including its gymnasium, librar y and

washrooms, was not built to accommodate a larger school population. “I think Promontory is overbuilt, overpopulated and the site is too small,” for an addition,” McKay told The Progress. “The infrastructure was not designed to accommodate a school this size. “I just don’t think spending all that money up there is

a good investment period, and to have it number 1 on our list, I really don’t support that.” An expansion for Promontor y Heights has been high on the priority list for close to a decade, but continues to be overlooked by the ministry because the district has had space in other elementary schools. The total estimated
costs for the three expansions would be $15,193,792.

Hydro rate hikes explained
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
Leaked documents indicate that BC Hydro is planning a 26 per cent rate increase over the next two years. While the BC Liberal government says the rate hike will not be that high, this is at least the third time in the past year that there has been indications of a massive BC Hydro rate increase in the works. There are several concerns about this. It’s no secret that Hydro has to come up with billions of dollars to continue to upgrade the electrical utility system it operates. The infrastructure, some of which goes back to the 1960s or earlier, needs attention. Hydro also wants to build the Site C dam on the Peace River, which would cost billions in itself. At the same time, Hydro has been handicapped by the BC Liberal government in two very important areas. First, it has been required to make massive dividend payments to the province, its only shareholder. These have been used to keep the provincial budget from dipping deeper into the red. While there may be some justification for the province occasionally taking a dividend from Hydro, the size and regularity of its demands are unprecedented. When a corporation needs to raise billions for capital projects, it makes sense that dividends be cut back or even eliminated. If Hydro was a private sector corporation, that is likely what it would be doing, in order to have at least some of its own cash to spend on infrastructure. In addition, the dividends are highly political. The other handicap Hydro has is that it has been forced to buy runof-river power from small contractors at rates far in excess of what it costs to produce its own power. Thus Hydro ratepayers are subsidizing private power developers. There is nothing wrong with private power, but it should be developed when economical to do so — not because a higher than market rate is guaranteed. The provincial government needs to stop interfering in Hydro’s business, and let it run the electric utility in the efficient manner which has generally been the case since its formation in 1961. ~ Black Press
B.C. V IEWS
The bills start to come due at BC Hydro VICTORIA – When Christy Clark became premier in 2011, one of her first priorities was to delay steep increases in BC Hydro rates. BC Hydro was heading to the B.C. Utilities Commission to apply for rate increases totalling 32 per cent over three years. This, obviously, was a problem for an unelected premier whose single message was that she was good for families, and who faced an election in two years. The government’s Mr. Fix-It, Rich Coleman, first tried to delay a couple of expensive seismic upgrades, adding to the long history of political fiddles that pushed off expensive problems. BC Hydro’s engineers soon convinced him that if the creaky old Ruskin and Campbell River dams were to bust in a quake, it wouldn’t be good for families downstream.
Coleman scraped up some internal savings in the vast utility and met Clark’s pre-determined target of keeping rate increases below four per cent in the preelection period. Mission accomplished, as George W. Bush might have said. Then last week, an August workTom ing paper on the FLETCHER need for BC Hydro rate hikes was leaked. It showed BC Hydro making a case for new increases totaling 26 per cent over two years. The leak came via the Canadian Office and Professional Employees local 378, the BC Hydro inside staff union that has a history of mostly juvenile attacks on the B.C. Liberal government.
Bill Bennett, the current energy minister, spent the next couple of days repeating to anyone who would listen that this initial proposal had already been rejected, and that work was well along to make the rate increase more palatable. Perhaps it’s back to where it was in 2011. COPE 378 and the NDP played their rehearsed roles. Both tried to blame the situation on private power contracts. The union and its political front are less concerned about rising power bills than they are about holding onto the state monopoly on electricity generation. Energy industry lawyer David Austin calculates that of the proposed 26.4-per-cent increase, about 3.5 per cent can be attributed to BC Hydro buying power from private sources, at prices competitive with new public power sources such as the Site

C dam. Most of it comes from the overdue repairs to those old dams, other costly projects including the addition of turbines to two Columbia River dams, and deferred debt from previous political meddling. In August I reported that as many as 20 of BC Hydro’s existing private power purchase contracts will be cancelled or deferred. This was also seized upon to portray private power as the root of all evil, both financially and environmentally. In fact the attrition rate on these projects has always been about one out of three. This is what happens when the risks of expanding the provincial electrical grid are shared with private investors. These run-of-river and wind projects were promoted to maximize clean energy sources, as well as to spread the grid to
remote areas. This was Gordon Campbell’s climate change strategy. Then came the gas boom. Clark seized upon liquefied natural gas exports as the key to future prosperity, and the government soon declared burning gas “clean” as long as it facilitates LNG production. Bennett now acknowledges that gas-fired power plants are an option for the future. They are cheaper than hydro, small or large. Bennett’s two tasks are to supply industry with cheap power and get consumer rates under control. It looks as if the gas is being turned up, and Site C is moving to the back burner.

Recycling program would finance itself I just can’t believe why any of the municipalities haven’t jumped onto universal recycling. There is a huge political opportunity here for the governing bodies to extend the deposit system from cans and bottles to all products. If there was a deposit on all packaging (i.e. .05/package) of recyclable products, it would cause a micro boom in the economy for those less fortunate, recycling
depots and processors. It would cost next to nothing to impose and the cost to run the program would be bore only by those too lazy not to return their Tim Horton coffee cups or their Kraft Dinner boxes. The program could be run in the same manner that is used in recycling depots today. This would make all your recycling bins worth substantial amounts of money, always a great incen-
tive. In a month of running the program, you wouldn’t find a piece of paper anywhere. So the only cost to the taxpayers would be the government start up costs and policing. The large corporations would have to be responsible for packaging they’ve already put out there. The program then should finance itself. Art Green, Hope BC
Students make difference with community support I would like to take the opportunity to thank a couple of local businesses and their customers. Over the past two weekends the Mt. Slesse Kenya Group has been selling the Great Little Coupon Book at Save on Foods on Vedder Rd and Coopers Foods. This group of students and their parents are raising funds for their volunteer trip to Kenya during spring break 2014. While in Kenya they will partner with Free the Children and Me to We to build a school or medical centre. Raising $4,700 per student is hard work but
thanks to Save on Foods and Coopers Foods our group was able to sell many coupon books putting us one step closer to our goal. Every year the leadership students from Mt. Slesse go to Save on Foods and Coopers Foods asking for donations for our various fundraisers. Over the years these two stores have donated ice cream cones, freezies, condiments and many other products to support many different charities that are dear to our students’ hearts. If you shop at these stores you will know they often
have fundraisers for charities that are important to their employees so they definitely don’t need to give more back to their community; yet they do. Allowing a group of teenagers to sell an item in front of your store may not seem like a big deal, but to those kids who are trying to raise money it is a big deal. Actually it is a huge deal. These kids know the importance of service. They know that many kids around the world do not have the opportunity to go to school or get adequate health care. So thank you Save on Foods and
Coopers Foods for allowing us to fundraise outside of your stores. Lastly thank you to all of the people who took a moment out of their busy day to talk to the students selling the coupon books. Even those people who were not interested in buying a book took a moment to politely say, “no thank you” or “good luck anyway”. With each coupon book sold and each conversation about their trip, our student’s confidence grew. So thank you Chilliwack!

Sandi Rae Mt. Slesse Leadership Teacher
Keep the discussion going on Syria Margaret Evans’ research is extremely well done. She has followed the main-stream story from all the sources, and she has refuted skeptical view points. And though she does not encourage readers to get out there and do their own research, to see how she has interpreted her findings, her case is very convincing. I can go back and forth with Ms Evans on the value of some Internet reports, and how many very reputable news agencies, and even the UN inspection team have determined that it is not clear who is responsible for the chemical attacks, or if in fact any chemical attack really took place. But, though I don’t agree with much of her argument, I will concede all her points. I want to talk about points she may not have considered, and I encourage readers to verify my statements with their own
research. The USA, the strongest supporter of the attack on Syria, is the world’s largest producer and maintainer of an arsenal of chemical weapons. I believe that morality requires that when we call for our adversaries to disarm, we should show leadership and disarm ourselves. Think of how much safer the world would be if the USA destroyed their stores of these weapons. And, it’s not like the USA has never used these weapons or provided them for their allies. Here’s a partial list: Vietnam, Agent Orange; Laos, Sarin on an encampment of US deserters (NY Times); Iraq, US provides chemical weapons to their ally, Sadam Hussein; Iraq, Fallujah, Sarin; Waaco Texas, (at home, on their own citizens)VX gas. Is it not ironic that the Kings of Chemical Warfare are so quick to condemn another sovereign nation dealing with a civil war? And, not
to mention how the public could be distracted from the USA’s terrible financial troubles if another major war was to break out. Also, in Canada we live by the rule of law. Going to war requires a legal process that helps to defuse emotional reactions to situations that may cause Canadians to act irrationally. It seems that Ms Evans’ article is calling for us to act irrationally. There is a lawful way of proceeding with a perceived threat to Canada’s interests and our borders. I suggest that she writes a piece that promotes democratic discussion involving all ChilliwackFraser Canyon voters and our MP Mark Strahl. If we can get him to promote this type of dialogue, I believe many more emotion-filled issues could be handled without military action. Gary Raddysh Chilliwack BC

The Best Western Country Inn presents its Fall...
went terribly wrong on that Sunday morning in late July. Suddenly the ATV started rolling back toward him, knocking him to the ground. It careened off the ramp of the trailer, and landed heavily on top of him. Broken ribs, fractured vertebrae, and a ruptured lumbar were the result. “It’s so surreal and crazy how fast life can change in a split second,” said Deputy Fire Chief Mike Danyluk of the CRV Fire Department. The deputy fire chief had been paged out to the call initially to assist BC Ambulance Service personnel, but then he was dispatched to set up a landing zone for the helicopter at Thompson Park. The CRVFD responds to about 80 emergencies a year, he estimated. Of that total, about 10 are ATV or dirt bike related, which is about 10 to 15 per cent of their calls. This time, the ATV call to assist medical personnel was one for of their own. They didn’t know who the injured party was from the outset. It came through from dispatch that the victim was an off-duty firefighter. Dyck had actually retired from the CRVFD a couple years before due to a back injury, but his former

colleagues still didn’t know who’d been hurt. The former fire chief had served the volunteer fire department since 1990, with 21 years of service as a firefighter and six as fire chief. People despaired to hear the news of the accident. “Reg is so wellknown and respected in the fire service, and not only just in the FVRD but throughout the firefighting community across B.C.,” said Danyluk. In the wake of his injuries, Dyck spent a week in the spinal unit at Vancouver General. He underwent surgery to remove bone fragments and insert pins
and then was released to recuperate at home. He will only start physiotherapy in three months. The former fire chief is recovering slowly and taking short walks. The pins won’t be removed for another 10 months. “Once ever yone found out what happened, there was a huge outpouring of support for Reg and his family,” he said. “It’s been something that really touches the heart.” Firefighters from CRVFD donated funds for gas and food cards for the family, so his wife Cindy and daughters Amanda and Jessica could shuttle back and forth daily from the hospital.

Bid to regulate mobility scooters runs out of juice Tom Fletcher Black Press A bid by the town of Sidney to regulate the use of mobility scooters on sidewalks was rejected in a split vote by local politicians Wednesday. On the advice of the executive, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention voted to drop a request for provincial licensing of sidewalk scooters, and to exclude motorized wheelchairs from any restrictions. But a majority of delegates voted against any kind of regulation. Sidney Mayor Larry Cross urged support, telling delegates there has been one fatality in his community, and two “serious rollovers” this
past summer as scooters shared sidewalks with pedestrians. “We’re kind of the canary in the mine in terms of the aging population, and the incidents and conflicts can only grow over time,” Cross said. Other council members were unimpressed. “If you have a problem with your sidewalks and people are rolling over, maybe you need to fix the sidewalks,” said Langley Township councillor Bob Long. “There are motorized bicycles, so is that the next thing, we’re going to license bicycles?” Sidney councillor Melissa Hailey said the community has “wonderful sidewalks,” but education and some

regulation is needed. “There is no real legislation or any ability to deal with unsafe scootering on our sidewalks,” Hailey said. “Drinking and scootering is very hard to enforce.” Nelson councillor Robin Cherbo said some solution is needed. His community has narrow sidewalks and some scooter users take to the roadway, without flags or lights. Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski was opposed, after talking with scooter and wheelchair users in his community. Saanich councillor Vic Derman agreed that scooter users and pedestrians need education, but communities should focus on local improvements to give scooter users more safe routes.
So nice to come home to.

RECYCLE from Front 2014, MMBC officials have clarified. Other cities can join later. Gaetz said the prices being offered right now are “too low� to cover costs of service, and the risk for collectors is a concern with penalties being considered for loads with more than three per cent contamination of non-recyclable material. But it’s also about the process. “We think it’s been a rather one-sided negotiations,� said Gaetz. “MMBC has failed to show us substantive willingness to negotiate parts of the plan and address our concerns once it started to develop the program.� Cities deserve to be part of a meaningful process. “So we say thanks for the extension, but unless they’re willing to negotiate, it’s meaningless.� --with files from Jeff Nagel jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Newspapers balk at MMBC plan, eye own system Black Press It’s not just cities resisting the new recycling system for packaging coming to B.C. The print newspaper industry – which is supposed to be part of the expanded blue box system – is also at odds with MMBC after a falling out last year over how they would pay their share of the costs of collecting old newspapers and flyers. Newspapers Canada president John Hinds said the newspaper firms originally intended to make their contribution through in-kind advertising. But he said MMBC has since demanded they pay 75 per cent in cash – potentially draining $6 million a year from the print newspaper industry, which has already reduced staff to cut costs in the current economic environment. Newspapers Canada represents the three main publishing groups – community newspaper publishers Black Press (owner of the Chilliwack Progress) and Glacier Media, as well as Postmedia, owner of the Vancouver Sun and The Province. Hinds said the entire industry pulled out of MMBC last year and is re-evaluating its options, which could include having newspaper carriers take back newsprint for recycling, or hiring other contractors to create a new collection or depot system. “Our real option is to do our own system,” Hinds said. “We have a very sophisticated one-way delivery system that nearly goes to every house in B.C.” He said MMBC has sought to shift costs to newspaper firms because it’s “ver y much biased” in favour of huge retailers like Walmart and Loblaw and other multinational producers of packaged goods that are solely interested in minimizing their outlay, not best environmental practices for B.C. Hinds said newspaper publishing representatives continue talks with MMBC while lobbying the province. A splintering of the system with newspaper firms trying to retrieve newsprint could have wider implications, because newspaper is among the more profitable materials to recycle, unlike some other
packaging materials. The estimated cost of MMBC’s system is $110 million but Hinds warns that could run higher, especially if it
leads to inefficient parallel systems being run by MMBC, some cities and perhaps newspaper groups. “The sad part about
this is you’re going to recreate a whole new system,” Hinds said. “You’re going to dismantle a system that works. You’re not going
4 DAYS ONLY
to save the taxpayer any money. And you’re going to spend $100 million in industry money that’s going to be taken out of the pockets of
consumers. And at the end of the day, you’re not going to move the marker one bit on environmental goals.” Environment

if the province even agrees to the notion. So far Coralee Oakes, the minister responsible for local government, has promised nothing more than talks. But Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard, one of the architects, said the money would go into an infrastructure bank, with more of the money potentially reserved for use by cities in down years when ramped-up infrastructure spending can also help revive the economy rather than hot years with higher construction costs. Leonard said civic leaders understand that the province doesn’t want to hand over more of its existing income right now and that citizens don’t want to be hit with any new tax. He thinks the core concept will appeal to the government. “Let us be a partner

B.C. cities have endorsed a call for the province to share some of its revenues – not now but out in the future when hoped-for boom times arrive. That’s the centrepiece of a financial reform policy paper tabled by the leadership of the Union of B.C. Municipalities that won unanimous support Wednesday. The concept is that in years when provincial revenue from all sources is up by more than an agreed threshold – three per cent is suggested – Victoria would share a portion of the excess with municipalities. Exactly how the money would be disbursed and where it could go would be up for much more debate,
in growing the economy, so much so that we benefit financially with growth in the economy,” Leonard said. “If we were in their shoes, we think we would like to hear this.” Asked if local governments should trust the province not to shuffle its accounts and discretionary dividends from Crown corporations to keep total revenue below any shar-

ing threshold, Leonard doubted that will be a problem. “I would think if they’re having good years – three, four and five per cent growth in revenue – they’re not going to hide it, they’re going to be damn proud of it. And we want to be proud of it too.” Cities face an intensifying crunch to raise cash for major infrastructure such a water and sewer upgrades and transit expansion. The province’s Property Transfer Tax, charged for every real estate transaction, is one of the government sources that grows with the economy that cities say give the province room to share. Saanich Coun. Paul Gerrard said the PTT brings the province $800 million to $1 billion a year. “None of that is put back into affordable housing, which I think is a disgrace,” Gerrard said. There are no permanent recurring grants guaranteed at the provincial level, unlike federal gas tax transfers that are now enshrined. Traffic fine sharing, for example, depends on provincial approval each year. Cities feel too dependent on property taxes that don’t reflect owners’ ability to pay. Premier Christy Clark has said future liquefied natural gas revenues could generate huge dividends for the province that could fund various benefits, including lower tolls on the Port Mann Bridge. Civic leaders would prefer a systematic method for sharing any future bounty rather than one that could be sporadic or politicized.

Pink salmon surge draws caution for fishery managers Jeff Nagel Black Press A huge number of pink salmon returning to the Fraser River has conservationists warning that the temptation to fish them heavily could still threaten atrisk sockeye salmon. The Pacific Salmon Commission estimates 26 million pinks are returning to the river this year – almost three times as many as expected. Commercial fishermen, anglers and First Nations all got the go ahead to fish for pinks after sockeye fishing was closed this summer to ensure enough of that species get upstream to spawn after a lowerthan-forecast return and dangerously warm river temperatures. Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Craig Orr warned the pressure to fish abundant pinks can result in an accidental bycatch of sockeye, as
well as weak runs of Interior coho salmon. “This return of sockeye this year are the ones coming back from the disastrous 2009 return that triggered the Cohen Inquiry,” Orr said. “We have to take special care with these sockeye. There’s not a lot of them around.” The Department of Fisheries and Oceans did halt commercial pink fishing near the river mouth Tuesday night, a decision Orr applauds. He said it’s deceptive to look solely at the overall number of sockeye estimated to be returning this year – about 3.7 million compared to just 1.6 million in 2009 at the previous point in the four-year life cycle – and conclude stocks are rebounding. Individual runs of sockeye returning to specific streams can go extinct if they’re victims of a bycatch when fishermen target stronger sockeye stocks, like the
Quesnel Lake run, or, in this case, large numbers of pinks. “We still have many sockeye stocks in the Fraser River that are in the red zone that have been declining rapidly over the past several generations,” Orr said. “We don’t want to cause local extinctions because people can’t move and they’re depending on those fish coming back to their
back yards.” Orr is urging care to fish selectively and release sockeye caught accidentally when fisheries are permitted. He was also critical of the federal government for so far failing to formally respond to the 75 recommendations of the Cohen Commission to address the sockeye decline, released nearly a year ago.

It won’t be cheap for opponents of wireless smart meters to keep their old analog electricity meters. BC Hydro says it will slap an extra $35 per month fee – $420 per year – on the roughly 60,000 smart meter holdouts for manual meter readings starting in December. Those who don’t want to pay that much have two cheaper options.

If that supply runs out, or for people who move to a new home, the only option will be to accept a smart meter, either operating wirelessly or with the transmitter turned off.

Smart meter opponents are also trying to launch a class action lawsuit to force a reasonable permanent nofee opt out, noting people who move may find a wireless smart meter already exists in their new home, against their wishes.

BC Hydro’s planned fee of $35 a month for people who continue to refuse wireless smart meters is “outrageous” and isn’t justified based on what other jurisdictions charge, according to B.C.’s lone Green Party MLA. Andrew Weaver (Oak Bay-Gordon Head) said the proposed charge for manual meter readings is as high a many people’s entire power bills. “People perceive it as price gouging,” he said, adding the fees should accurately reflect Hydro costs and not generate extra profit.”
Weaver pointed to some U.S. states that have similar opt-out programs from smart meters but charge much less. California charges $10 a month after a $75 up-front fee, while lowincome customers pay $5 a month after a $10 initial fee. Maine charges $12 a month for analog meter readings, after a $40 initial charge. BC Hydro’s fees still require approval by the B.C. Utilities Commission. Weaver said he’s urging the regulators to reject the $35 fee here based on the disparity with charges elsewhere.

this is true, my infatuation comes from my deep love of the place and the love that many other people have for it. Recently the Vice President of the BC Search and Rescue Association, Colin Weibe, said, “I argue that (the) Chilliwack River Valley is likely one of the busiest recreation corridors in North America.” In light of this perspective I think that there are a few things that need to be addressed, most important on this list is that Chilliwack Lake Rd., after it leaves the City limits, is technically a highway. Why is this significant you may ask? Well on highways there is a 800m no firearm discharge zone on either side of the blacktop, which as many people will know, means that in much of the Chilliwack River Valley is not only dangerous to discharge your rifle it is also very illegal. Please choose your target range carefully, shoot only into a hillside and ensure that no trails lay behind your shooting area, and most importantly please pick up your casings and take your targets home with you. Please take the time to pack out even more garbage than you take in and do your part in keeping your fellow hunters and firearms users accountable. Hunters may get a bad name sometimes, however most are

hether you are a hunter or a hiker or both, the advent of yet another hunting season means its time to chat about firearm safety and awareness around open hunting areas. The backcountry surrounding our beautiful little city is blessed with abundant wildlife and this Sam means that hunters are taking to WADDINGTON the hills to stock their freezers for winter. However as any hunters knows, a rifle needs to shoot accurately when the time comes, and thus most rifle owners are also heading to the hills to sight in their rifles and shake the dust off of their equipment. If you count yourself as one of these people then you should also be aware of where you are legally allowed to discharge your gun and how to ensure that we maintain a good relationship with hunters and non-hunters alike over the next couple of months. A few reminders: Please review the Fraser Valley Special Area Hunting License to see where it is lawful to discharge your firearm.

While we’re planting bulbs this fall, let’s not forget one of the most important – Allium ophioscorodon – okay it’s garlic! Now is the very Brian best MINTER time of the year to plant this valuable crop, even if you have only a small garden plot. If you haven’t grown garlic before, give it a try because at the end of next July, you’ll be rewarded with the most wonderful fresh garlic bulbs, ideal for your summer cooking All you need is well drained soil in a raised berm or bed. I would enrich the soil with some composted manures and because of our usually wet winters, I’d also add some dolopril lime. Always choose the largest bulbs and carefully break them
into cloves that should be planted about 4-5” (10-12cm) apart and 2-4” (5-10cm) deep. Keep the soil moist if we get another dry spell. Rooting will begin within a couple of weeks. In mid to late winter, fresh green leaves will appear, and they will be fine even if we get some severe cold - garlic is very hardy. Make sure you keep the beds weeded because those nasty weeds will turn into millions when spring
begins. Once spring arrives and the daytime temperatures are close to 8-10°C, feed them with something like a 10-15-19 fertilizer with micronutrients. In June the tops will form tiny flowers. These are called scapes, and they should all be removed so the plant puts all its energy into building up the cloves. These scapes can be used in stir fries and for many other culinary uses. The scapes are a nice

bonus when growing garlic. Fall planted garlic is usually harvested about mid-July into August of the following year. It’s important to harvest once one-half to two-thirds of the leaves have turned yellow. Make sure you lift them carefully with a fork to avoid damaging the bulbs. They need to be cured in a warm dry spot for at least two weeks to ensure they dry out, then remove the outside layers to expose beautiful white bulbs that are ready to enjoy. As for varieties, almost everyone has their own favourite, but plant the ones you enjoy most. Russian garlic is a local favourite and elephant garlic does well too, as do many other specialty varieties. So try some now as part of your winter garden.

Getting a little ice time with Barry Douglas his eye set on buying his new wheels. “My first car was a Ford 4X4 but I also bought a couple of motorbikes; one street and one dirt bike. Then I bought a V-8 Vega. It had a 350 engine and my brother and I added a roll cage and racing paraphernalia,” he explained. With somewhat of a sheepish grin, he admitted to street racing at the time, someAna thing that he MACEDO certainly doesn’t condone today. “I’m not proud of admitting that but back then that’s what we did,” he said plainly. He went on to own a jeep, a ’67 Mustang as well as a host of other vehicles. With no real career goals and with graduation on the horizon, Barry decided once again to refocus and assess his future. “I decided to go into broadcasting and specifically sports broadcasting,” he said. After all, ever since he was a youngster he could recall doing playby-play at one of his many outdoor hockey games. His new found focus would be put on hold though as he floated from job to job trying to earn enough money to pay for his schooling. During this time, two critical
things happened that would change his life forever. His adopted sister passed away from a drug overdose and this had a profound impact on his life. “This whole situation allowed me to witness first hand the horrible outcome of doing drugs and it reaffirmed for me that drug use has catastrophic consequences on anyone’s life. I am totally anti-drugs,” he said passionately. During this same time, Barry had also been dating a young lady and just after his sister’s death, the young couple got married. One year later, their son Darnell was born. Now faced with a young family to support, Barry began working at Kerkhoff Doors but eventually he was laid off. “I began to reassess my life once again and determined that I was still young enough to pursue my dream so I enrolled at Columbia Academy of Radio, Television and Recording Arts,” he said. After graduating, he landed a job working part-time at CKGO Radio in Hope and eventually started picking up some other work at CHWK in Chilliwack. Then, the unthinkable happened. His wife left suddenly and expectantly, leaving Barry to raise their two-year old son. “I remember it so vividly. Here I was, with just $100 in the bank, no
money in my pocket and a two-year old son to raise. I was totally committed to my little boy and also to my new career. I wanted to succeed but I also wanted my son to be raised in a loving environment where he’d learn to treat others with kindness and respect. I had great family support, super friends and great bosses who essentially helped me raise my son so that I could continue to work on my career. The radio station was great. They allowed me to bring Darnell to work from time to time. If they hadn’t done this, it would have been impossible for me to continue living my dream. For this, I will always be grateful and thankful,” he said passionately. It was while he was working at CHWK that he began working on the side with the Chilliwack Chiefs. Eventually, he left the radio station and took on a full time job with the hockey club and admits that Harvey Smyl became like a second brother to him. He worked there for the next ten years and enjoyed every minute of it. “Like the radio station, they too became like a second family,” he said. The Chiefs eventually
left for Langley and the Bruins skated into town. Barry became their Director of Marketing. The Bruins wound up leaving Chilliwack and the Chiefs returned and today, Barry is the Director of Sales and Marketing for the Chilliwack Chiefs Junior A Hockey Club. He is focussed, reenergized and committed to the organization. Barry is also extremely proud of his son’s focus and determination. “Once Darnell finished playing Junior A, he left for Lindenwood University in St. Louis where he was studying business. He decided to play hockey a little closer to home so now he’s enrolled at Selkirk College in Castlegar. He’ll continue to study business but he’s also adding psychology. There’s no doubt that he’ll continue to play hockey to pursue a professional career but you always have to think long-term. His thought is that one day he’d like to become a police officer. Darnell worked in our sales department this summer and did quite well. It was a way to delve into the world of sales and marketing and he acquired five new

clients for us,” he said proudly. This summer, Barry was extremely busy on several fronts. Not only has he been busily planning for the new hockey season ahead, but along with his significant other, Robynn, the couple purchased Champagne and Lace, a well established business located in Abbotsford that has been serving BC and Northwest Washington since 1986. “The store has a
reputation for superior selection and service and while Robynn is the President and runs the day-to-day operations, this is a great opportunity for both of us,” he enthused. As if he’s not busy enough, Barry has also taken on a role of coaching minor baseball. “It’s a duty and a privilege to give back to minor sports for all that minor sports has done for my son,” he said thankfully.

eing a single parent isn’t an easy undertaking. There are so many things to consider; your career, your finances, maintaining your home and spending enough time with your children, to name but a few. Barry Douglas did just that and today, he is thankful for where he is and remains steadfast in his thought that family and true friends are the most important thing in anyone’s life. Barry is a born and bred Chilliwackian, something that he’s proud of. “I have had several chances to leave but I have chosen to stay. This community is important to me,” he affirmed. Since he was quite young, Barry has had two passions; cars and sports. His initial sport of choice was soccer and from the time that he started to play, he excelled. His dream was to play pro soccer and having been recognized as one of the top goalies in B.C., the dream almost became a reality. However, due to his family’s economic situation at that time, the dream eventually disappeared and his focus shifted to another passion – cars. He began delivering pizza for John’s Family Restaurant as a means of fuelling his new passion. “They were the first to introduce the two for one pizza,” he smiled. Barry had a goal, was focused and had tremendous drive;

Bif Naked brings energy to the Chilliwack stage Vancouver rocker Bif Naked usually has an excellent time when she takes the stage to do her thing in Chilliwack. She’s in Paris this week, but will be on her way back to the Lower Mainland for a local gig soon. Bif once told The Progress: “We have the best time playing in Chilliwack. We have a great fan base there. Fans keep coming back.” It’s not by accident that she became a proud recipient of an honourary degree in performance from University of the Fraser Valley. Bif is known for the sheer power of her live shows. “Performance is my passion,” she said. “I owe it to myself and my beautiful fans to keep evolving and pushing the boundaries.” Her ability to slide between punk, rock, pop, alternative, and more are clear on her platinum album I Bificus as well as Purge and Superbeautifulmonster. The tattooed vegan artist is an utter original. She faced and overcame a series of trials in her life, coming into the world as an orphan in India, fighting to make it in the music world, to battling breast cancer in her 30s. Bif remains innovative, revolutionary, and inspiring with notable tracks to her credit: “I Love Myself Today” and “Tango Shoes” to “Nothing Else Matters” and “We Are The Lucky Ones”, “Let Down” and “Spaceman” which made Canadian history with its number one position on the national charts, and number 2 on Billboard’s international charts making it the highest-spun independent song in Canadian history. Many have seen a show by Bif’s special guest Tarl or heard one of his tunes on the radio. The band is heating up the charts in Canada, the U.S., Germany, Japan and Italy, proving that fans everywhere love their Rock n’ Roll straight up with no gimmicks. With titles like “The Social”, “Tonight”, “The Strip”, “So Long” and “Fall” listeners can understand the lyrics, the melody, and they want to sing along. Front Man Tarl Feser states, “At some point, I realized I don’t just want to do this. I have to do this.” Tarl’s site has more info at www.tarlmusic. com Bif Naked with guests, Tarl, Friday September 27 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.

They’re a fiddling and step dancing family band from Ontario coming to Chilliwack on October 5 with some of Canada’s best young musicians. Everything Fitz (for Fitzgerald) offers a unique stage show meshing music styles for a fun, uplifting, and inspirational night. The show is celebrating the Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s third anniversary, presented by the Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society. Everything Fitz will perform their repertoire featuring the finest Canadian old-time fiddle traditions and Ottawa step dancing. There’s a bit of everything from traditional jigs and reels, bluegrass, jazz and swing, to Celtic and gospel; as well as novelty numbers and choreographed routines. The precision and intricacy of their footwork is breathtaking as is the complex choreography. A concert with the Fitzgeralds will satisfy audiences of all ages and tastes, with high-quality family entertainment. Growing up in the hotbed of music that is Ontario’s Ottawa Valley, the siblings musical journey began early in life as they studied and mastered the unique fluid style of step dance that evolved with the Irish, Scottish, and French immigrants. Julie, Kerry, and Tom Fitzpatrick are all champion fiddlers and provide intricate 3-part fiddle harmonies as well as solo improvisations on fiddle, mandolin, and guitar. Additional instrumentation includes Pat on percussion along with parents Pam and Paddy providing accompaniment on piano and bass guitar. Developing their art from these deep and lasting roots, while allowing the influences of contemporary music to help shape their career, Everything Fitz has received glowing accolades from promoters, theatre presenters, and fans across Canada and the United States. Tickets are $32 for Adults, $29 for Seniors, and $27 for Students. Call the Centre Box Office at 604-391SHOW(7469) for more information.

painting in 1983. “Picking up mom’s brushes and palette, I began to develop my own talents as a porcelain artist,” Phelps said. These days she works out of a home studio which doubles as a gallery. “It’s a joyful work space.” She built it as a year 2000 project. Her porcelain work includes North American traditional style; European floral; gilt and raised paste techniques and portraits. “My experiments have taken me into freeform design in porcelain, and also for a search to recapture the raised paste base for gold work that I enjoy doing. “My most recent free-form porcelain designs have been a comfortable challenge, that I have enjoyed very much. The translucence of these new works of art is most appealing, especially the pieces that can be used as light conduits. She said it was also an interesting experience to work for the film industry and do the porcelain works for “Meg” that were shown in the 1994 film “Little Women”.

Dr. Irwin Cohen has taken up the role of RCMP Senior Research Chair in Crime Reduction at the University of the Fraser Valley, effective September 1, 2013. Cohen, who was most recently director of the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at UFV, is filling a gap created when Dr. Darryl Plecas left UFV to become the MLA for the Abbotsford South riding and Parliamentary Secretar y to the Minister of Justice and Attorney General for Crime Reduction. Dr. Amy Prevost replaces Cohen as director of the school. Cohen has been at UFV for 10 years, first as a faculty member in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, then as director. He earned his doctorate in criminology at Simon Fraser University, and master’s degrees at both the University of Ottawa and the University of Toronto. The RCMP Senior Research Chair in Crime Reduction was created in 2006. The position is a partnership between UFV and the RCMP, and is designed to serve as a research resource for police departments throughout British Columbia.

Division of the RCMP, which is the administrative home of the police force in B.C. The chair also works closely with individual police detachments. “We consult regularly with the RCMP at the administrative level, but in many ways, the work of this chair is designed to help police departments throughout BC with any research priorities they may have,” notes Cohen. The School of Criminology and Criminal Justice at UFV puts a deliberate emphasis on being responsive to stakeholder and community demands and on involving undergraduate students in the many research projects that it takes on annually. The activities of
the chair support both these priorities. “One of the compelling aspects of this position is that you never can predict what amazing research projects you will become involved with because we are continually responding to requests from police organizations, public safety agencies, and student interests,” Cohen says. “In many other universities, faculty members can spend their entire careers narrowly focused on a very specific research area, but in the UFV School of Criminology and Criminal Justice, we take a deliberate generalist approach to research. This is reflected in the mandate of the chair to be of service to police detachments

throughout B.C.to the benefit of all British Columbians.” Some of the many research topics that the chair has facilitated projects on over the past few years include an analysis of the security for the Vancouver Olympics, the harms associated with marijuana and grow ops, evidence-based solutions to information sharing between agencies of criminal justice, the criminal histories of prolific offenders, police effectiveness and efficiency, analyses of calls for service, and public safety surveys. One memorable project saw UFV criminal justice students conduct 440 full-shift ride-alongs with Surrey RCMP officers on a study of what a general duty officer’s shift looks like on a minute-by-minute basis. “Those 440 ridealongs were spent with 170 different members. We were able to provide to police leaders a very detailed accounting of what a member does during a typical shift, which could inform changes to make policing more efficient, but also safer and healthier. Plus, it gave our student researchers a real sense of what general duty policing is all about. This is just one example of how this research chair has been beneficial to the RCMP while providing a unique learning opportunity for our students.” A major focus of the RCMP research chair is

Program takes a community approach to crime reduction CRIME from page 34 crime reduction. While all criminal justice efforts are at their core aimed at reducing crime, this policing model focuses on bringing all relevant stakeholders together to contribute to reducing crime, especially crimes perpetuated by chronic offenders. “The crime reduction model acknowledges that many stakeholders have a role to play in creating a communitywide cohesive approach to addressing crime and safety,” says Cohen, citing social service agencies, health authorities, local and regional governments, and other public safety agencies, such as fire departments and paramedic services. “It also recognizes that we don’t have an endless capacity to expand policing resources, so it looks at ways to use the resources we have more efficiently. We’re embracing the idea that police should be less reactive, and more focused on using evidence-based empirical data to assist in preventing crime, and developing and implementing strategies that build on those things that police do well and establishing meaningful community partnerships to prevent and reduce crime.” Connected to the research chair is the UFV Centre for Public Safety and Criminal Justice Research, which was created in recognition of the fact that effective solutions to public safety issues involve many agencies, and are not solely the responsibility of the police and the criminal justice system. “We at UFV are pleased that Dr. Cohen has assumed the role as the RCMP Research Chair from Dr. Plecas. Both Irwin and Darryl have already made considerable contributions to applied research. We look forward to ongoing collaborations,” said Dr. Adrienne Chan, AVP of Research at UFV. With Cohen moving to the RCMP research chair position, Dr. Amy Prevost will oversee the administration of the school as she takes over the director role. Prevost, who earned her BA, MA, and PhD in criminology at Simon Fraser University, has been a full-time faculty member at UFV since 2006. “I want to ensure that the School of Criminology and
Criminal Justice continues to be cutting edge both academically and pedagogically as it prepares students for careers in the criminal
justice and public safety fields,” she notes, adding that an excellent firstyear experience is a vital part of the recipe for student success.
“I recognize the transition from high school to university, or coming back to university, comes with many challenges for some students, so I
will continue to develop strategies to make that first-year experience outstanding,” she says. “It is important that the school continues to provide the
highest quality of education and that our programs deliver the most current thinking and research in academia and in the field, and that
it continues to provide experiential learning through amazing practicum opportunities, our centres, and research projects with faculty.”

y d o l Celebrate World Rivers Day Me The 2nd Annual
with a paddle on the Fraser On the last Sunday of September, in celebration of World Rivers Day, the Hope Mountain Centre will host another special event to honour the Fraser River. A paddle trip for canoes and kayaks will take participants downriver from Kilby to Mission, a continuation of the 2009 trip that took paddlers from Hope to Agassiz. “It’s more than a paddle trip” says program director Kelly Pearce. “It’s a celebration of the greatest salmon river on earth. Right now, 16 million Pink Salmon are spawning between Hope and Mission ---the largest single run on the entire Fraser and the largest salmon run found anywhere in the world”. Mark Angelo, founder of World Rivers Day, calls the Hope-to-Mission stretch the “Heart of the Fraser” in honour of the ecological wealth found there. It produces not only millions of Pinks and hundreds of thousands of Chum Salmon, but at least 30 species of fresh-water fish, including the largest population of White Sturgeon in Canada. Many bird and mammal species are also supported by the river and its forests. A growing conservation initiative, headed by the Nature Trust of BC and the International River Foundation, seeks to better protect the river from encroaching development. These organizations contend that as the population of the Lower Mainland continues to grow, it is increasingly urgent that governments, First Nations, and the private sector work

What do you think? email: editor@ theprogress.com
collaboratively to protect the Fraser from unchecked development. River scientists will be joining the paddle trip this year. Marvin Rosenau, a professional fish biologist will be netting and identifying fish for the audience. In addition, Pearce notes that Mike Church will also be along for the ride. “Mike is a River Morphologist and retired UBC instructor, widely considered to be the leading ‘Gravel Guru’ for the Fraser”. Pearce explains that it’s the gravel that makes the Hope-to-Mission stretch so important to fish. “This piece of the Fraser has just the right gradient and flow to distribute gravel over a broad floodplain, creating the complex of islands, side channels, and gravel bars where fish love to spawn”, says Pearce. The paddle trip includes lunch and bus transportation between Kilby and Mission, and there are boat options for people with no paddling experience.

The Canadian Red Cross has launched a first aid app to increase British Columbians’ skills and confidence to intervene in health emergencies. Lifethreatening injuries and emergencies can happen any time and anywhere, and the Red Cross wants British Columbians to empower themselves to save lives. “This app will allow British Columbians to learn what to do in multiple medical emergencies, from severe bleeding to broken bones to heart attacks,� said Dave Adamson, Red Cross First Aid Program Representative. “Knowing how to recognize the signs of a medical emergency is not enough; people need to know what to do.� According to recent polling on behalf of the Canadian Red Cross, nearly 40 per cent of Canadians say they’ve been in an emergency situation where they’ve had to perform first aid. Although more than two-thirds of Canadians say they can recognize the signs of a life-threatening health emergency like choking or a heart attack, only half are confident in their skills to help.

What Say U?
Consultation on Chilliwack’s Children: Steven Point delivers keynote address I had the fortunate pleasure to listen to the Honorable Steven Point’s keynote address at the 20th annual Child and Youth Committee Consultation this April. A lifelong champion for the causes of Aboriginal peoples, his Honour recently completed his fiveyear term as B.C.’s Lieutenant Governor, and has returned to his home in Chilliwack to continue to make a difference in the lives he touches. His speech was entitled “Making a Difference Wherever You Are,” and, for those who had never heard him speak before, he has a quiet and reflective yet compelling and engaging nature. I could listen to him all day; his gentle yet persuasive voice and talent for being a wonderful story teller. As a professional in a room with service providers, community partners, parents, and others, I felt validated and renewed by his talk. We forget to do that I think – to thank each other and ourselves for the hard work we’re doing, as too often we focus on what we could be doing better or differ-

ent. Other highlights that stood out for me were: •We have to understand that we don’t live in a linear world. We don’t travel from A to B. We live in a circular world, and what you put in comes back to you. If you put in fear and darkEryn ness it comes WICKER back to you; if you put in hatred, illness comes back; if you put in knowledge, wisdom comes back; and if you put in kindness, love comes back. • We were all gathered that day because of a desire to improve our communities. He sees people like us working in different situations with different families, dysfunctional families, families in poverty, with criminality, abused children, and suicidal children. You might get home and wonder: why am I doing this? I’m tired, I wish I could do something else with my life. We all struggle to find ourselves and our purpose. It’s not about getting famous or wealthy or about the car you drive. It’s everything to do with finding out who you
are and why you’re here. • This process of getting in touch with your own spirit to discover your own purpose includes asking yourself: What am I doing here? What empowers me? What gives me strength? What helps me carry on in the lowest moments? Our purpose and reason for being here hasn’t changed – to become whole human beings, integrated and connected with our spirits, not just periodically checking in everyday. • The learning and discovery is in the journey. And along the way we have to help each other; we can’t hang onto the things we have, we have to give them away. I love what Point said at the conclusion of his talk: “At 62 years old I’m getting tired, but I keep going. When I wake up, I feel good about what I’m doing because I’m giving. Giving instead of taking. And I see all you professionals doing that in your community. Remember your journey, remember your chosen path; because what you’re doing is important.” Eryn Wicker (M.A., R.C.C) is a mental health clinician with the Child and Youth Mental Health team of the Ministry of Children and Family Development in Chilliwack, B.C.

Before ever hitting the field or an opponent, GW Graham Grizzlies sign a player contract that carefully spells out expectations for their off-the-field behaviour. ERIC J. WELSH/ PROGRESS
Grizzlies face expectations on and off the field
Eric J. Welsh, The Progress GW Graham’s high school football teams kick off their regular seasons this week, with the senior squad visiting Abbotsford secondar y school Friday night. The juniors opened Wednesday against Rick Hansen, in a game played after Progress press deadlines. Both teams have high expectations coming into the year, particularly the juniors, who have been ranked No. 1 in the province throughout the preseason. Grizzlies head coach Laurie Smith hopes for great things on the field, but he places just as much emphasis on what his players do off the field. With more than 100
involved at the senior, junior and Grade 8 levels, Smith sees a huge opportunity to change lives for the better. “When we started this, we wanted to do a program that was about graduating exceptional student athletes,” he said. A c a d e m i c a l l y, Grizzly players are expected to attend classes, study hard and meet expectations in their classes. Every two weeks, the players must collect gradechecks from all of their teachers and submit those to the coaching staff. A study hall is set up, and players have access to tutoring and mentorship, with four teachers committed to helping out. But academics is only part of it. Smith and company have each player sign a contract before they can play for the team. “The contract is about setting expectations, and saying, ‘We want you guys to make better choices,’” Smith explained. “There are lots of distractions for kids ages 14-18 and
we understand that. We just want them to be aware that their choices have consequences.” The first couple paragraphs cover those academic expectations. The next few cover respect for teammates, teachers, coaches, parents and the community. Then it gets into on-field behaviour — respect for rules, officials and opponents — how the Grizzlies want to conduct themselves between the sidelines. The most interesting parts of the contract comes at the end, starting with social media. “We actually had a social media guy come in here, set up a big screen and find garbage on all of our guys,” Smith chuckled. “Somebody smoking a joint or somebody with a beer. And he’s like, ‘This is what future recruiters and employees will see. Anyone can find this stuff, and once you put this stuff out there, it’s there.’” “We want them to understand that going
to the next level, coaches will look for character,” he added. “They’ll have a dozen kids who can do everything on the field that you can do, but they don’t want problems. They’ll look for kids who won’t give them problems.” The drugs and alcohol clause is a major part of the contract, and it’s a major issue with teenagers. While Smith believes in redemption and wants to be forgiving, there’s zero tolerance for this violation. “I understand that I am making a commitment to the GW Graham Football team,” the contract states. “As a member of that team I am not only making a commitment to the team, but also to the athletics department and the school. I will fulfill my commitment on and off the field to the best of my abilities. I also understand that any violation on my part, of any of the athletic rules, may result in loss of privileges, suspension from school teams, and/or school suspensions. “I’ve had players
come up to me and ask if there’s going to be mandatory drug testing and I say, ‘No. no. But it’s not a bad idea!,” Smith laughed. “But, if they’re going to sign a contract and not abide by it, we can’t have that on our team. It impacts the integrity of the contract and the integrity of the program.” The bench boss is aware the contract may lead to headaches for the coaching staff. What happens if they get to week five of the regular season and find themselves without a key starter or three? How easy will it be to prioritize integrity with a playoff spot hanging in the balance? The coach hopes his players don’t put him in that position. “I hope we don’t. I hope it works out really well and I’ve told them a thousand times it’s in their best interests,” he said. ” Smith’s junior and senior crews play their home openers in double-header style, next Friday night at Exhibition Stadium.

No games for the Chilliwack Chiefs this weekend, w eekend, as a scheduling quirk means the team has a full two weeks between games. The Chiefs played a pair of games in Prince George last weekend. After a full day on the bus Friday, they were w ere beaten 7-1 but bounced back nicely and earned a 2-1 overtime victory Saturday, their first win of the season. After four games the Chiefs have scored jjust ust five goals. Reason for concern? Sure. Reason to panic? I don’t believe so. Four games is just too small a sample size to jjump ump to conclusions. The offense will improve as will the power play which is 0/21 on the season. I watched Saturday’s game, and despite scoring just two goals and registering 21 shots, the Chiefs generated a half dozen quality scoring chances that they were unlucky not to score on. Sometimes the box score can be misleading. With so many Chiefs playing at this level of hockey for the first time it will take a bit of time. It’s a faster game for many of the players. You can see many good decisions being made with the puck in the offensive zone but often the decisions are made a split second too late. Give these guys a few more games and their decision making will w ill speed up and the scoring chances will increase. the Defensively, Chiefs have given up too many shots. They didn’t give up as many shots as claimed in either of the two games in Prince
George (43 and 53) but they’ve still given up too many. Defensive positioning needs to improve and I expect thatt defensive play will be a priority at Chiefs practices during this two week break. Some of the mistakes are again due to the increased speed off the game for many off the players. I’ve seen players take low percentage chances on loose pucks that have led to scoring chances against. These are likely chances thatt were high percentage chances for them where they played lastt year. Again, it’s an adjustment period to a fasterr game. The bright spott defensively has been the the penalty kill which has been veryy good with a success rate of just under 90 per cent. Off the ice, the Chiefs second annual Salvation Army Golff Tournament goes nextt Thursday. There are still a few w spots open. All the Chiefs players will be there. Iff you’re interested check the Chiefs site for more details. The official home opener is versus Prince George a week k from Saturday. BC Lions general manager Wally Buono will be there to sign autographs, as will a few w of the Felions (Lions Dance Team). The first 1,000 fans will get a free magnetic schedule. The next nightt the Chiefs are back k on home ice versus Salmon Arm. As partt of this season’s back k to back promotion, iff you buy two tickets forr Saturday’s game, you get a free ticket to the game the next night. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Huskers visit cranky Rams

Top-ranked soccer Spartans blank Cascades The UFV Cascades lost to the top-ranked CIS women’s soccer team last Saturday, falling 2-1 to the Trinity Western Spartans in Langley. Chilliwack native Danika Snook and Surrey’s Danica Kump tested Spartans goalkeeper Rachel Bedek with some early chances.
But the finish was lacking, and momentum swung in TWU’s favour as the game went on. Krista Gommeringer set up Lindsey Pulice to give the Spartans a 1-0 lead at the 27 minute mark. Minutes later, Surrey native Natalie Boyd stole the ball from a UFV mid-
fielder, flew down the right side and set up Alessandra Oliverio for the eventual game-winning goal. Burnaby’s Kayla Klim faced 21 shots in the UFV net. The lone Cascade goal came late in the game, with North Vancouver’s Lana Rockhill scoring in the 90th minute.
Celebrate National Forest Week September 22-28, 2013
Chilliwack’s Valley Huskers face a massive task, tackling the Langley Rams in BC Football Conference action this weekend. The Huskers are in Langley Saturday night to face the defending Cullen Cup champions. It is the first meeting of the season between the two teams. Both squads are coming off losses. The Rams will be cranky after falling short in a matchup of BCFC titans. Langley visited Nanaimo last weekend, losing 41-27 to the Vancouver Island Raiders in a game coach Ted Kirby described as “not the game I thought it was going to be.” Kirby saw his team stall on offence and commit three turnovers. They lost for the second time this year, and their 5-2 record leaves them tied with the Raiders and Okanagan Sun for top spot in the league. “We didn’t play our best football and if you don’t put everything

any stretch, but the bowling ball back (fivefoot-10 and 205 pounds) is nearly over 400 yards this year (398) while averaging 4.3 yards per carry. “Ty has been a solid RB for us all year and I’m excited to see him having consistency,” St. James noted. “It’s really helped us with the offensive play-calling, because now, when we get into second and five and second and six, the defence still has to account for the running game.” To have any chance of beating the Rams, Derayos will need to have another dependable game, and quarterback Cody Parray will have to make hay in the passing game. The defence will have to continue its improved play. Most importantly, the Huskers will need to not kill themselves with penalties and turnovers. “I challenged them before last week’s game, that when something bad happens I don’t want to see the wheels fall of the cart,” the coach said. “If we can maintain our composure and execute the game plan the way I know they can, we have a chance to win every game we play.” Get a wrap in Tuesday’s Progress sports section and get more info online at bcjuniorfootball.ca

you have into every single play, every single snap, then you are not going to win,” Kirby said. Langley entered the game scoring 48.5 points per game while surrendering just 17 points a game. Both numbers led the league, but the defence has now dropped to third in points per game. “It stings, but you put it behind us,” Kirby said. “We just need to get back to what we do.” On paper, the Huskers look like a welcome opponent. At 2-4-1, they sit fifth in the six-team circuit. The Chilliwack offence has scored a league-low 136 points, averaging 19 points per game. They’ve given up 218, or 31 per game. They’re also running low on manpower. As the season has gone south, the roster has dipped to 30 players. St. James finds himself using men on both sides of the ball, plus special teams. “Sometimes you lose the guys that didn’t care that much anyways,” the bench boss reasoned. “At least now, we’ve got it whittled down to the guys who want to be here.” Guys like Ty Derayos. St. James singled the Manitoba native out for praise after he ran for 70 yards and a major on 20 carries last week. Not eye-popping by

First wins for attacking atoms and cornerback Jared Rahndorn helped shut down the Meadow Ridge attack.
Chilliwack’s atom Blue Giants demolished the Meadow Ridge Knights 24-0 last weekend to earn their first win of the year. The minor football squad improved to 1-2 with an all-round effort, led by running back DJ Stephens. Stephens scampered for 150 yards and three touchdowns. Quarterback Travis Richley hooked up with tight end Theo Smith for some good gains, and booted three converts. Zach Wolter was a terror on defence, recording six solo tackles and two quarterback sacks. Linebacker Raiden Mastin threw in some devastating blitzes,
● The atom Red Giants pummelled the Mission Niners 36-0. The defence dominated, led by Mateo Tuioti and Raph Trill. The offence rolled behind offensive linemen Ty Cox, Ty Kelly, Isaac Tuioti, Ty Perotta and Ty Bergin. Nicolas Beck and Josh Caverly picked up touchdowns and Jesse Reddick had several big catches. ● A banged up atom White Giants squad fell 44-22 to the North Langley Bears. Jackson Visser, Vincent Branauer and Austin Wegener had TDs for the locals, who also got two field goals from kicker Ben Uz. Chilliwack’s smallest defender, Declan Redekop, played large, taking down Langley’s biggest player with a fearless tackle. ● The peewee Red Giants got their first
win of the season, a 12-6 road victory over the Langley Bears. Jackson Saunders had both touchdowns for Chilliwack. Defensively, cornerbacks Nathan McInnis and Coleman Hughes locked down the outside, and safety Rhys Jones had an interception. ● The peewee Blue Giants lost 37-0 to the Mission Niners. ● The junior bantam Giants put up a tough fight before falling 38-21 to the North Langley Bears. Down 6-0 early, the Giants came back on a 78 yard touchdown run by Haden Oraschuk. Chilliwack held the lead in the third quarter after three Austin Kardux rushes got them to the Langley one yard line. Hudson Harvey followed the blocking of Taylor Fleming, Jaiden Klassen and Kalum MacPherson into the endzone, putting his team up 14-12. A Kardux TD had
Chilliwack looking good, but turnovers and mounting injuries torpedoed the Giants in the fourth quarter. Helaman Ochoa and Josh Roos were defensive standouts. Mattias Chand came up with an interception.

Quarterback sneaks by Hunter Larocque and RJ Begg led to two more Giant majors. Steven Baker had a strong game at running back, and Tyler McStravick rounded out the scoring with a 24 yard field goal. Nearly every player on the swarming Chilliwack defence recorded a quarterback sack. The Giants secondary came up with four interceptions and Chilliwack had several fumble recoveries as well.

in the best facility race, joined by Victoria’s Bear Mountain Golf Resort, Oliver’s Fairview Mountain Golf Club and Windermere’s Copper Point Golf Club. The winner will be announced at the PGA of BC Awards Reception, taking place
Oct. 16 at the River Rock Casino Resort “It’s a huge accolade for us that we’re super excited about,” said CG&CC general manager Bryan Ewart. “We’re up against three good courses, but we feel we’ve done a good job and have a good
chance to win.” Nominations were based in part on high profile events hosted by the courses. CG&CC held several, including the BCGA Senior Women’s Championship and the Vancouver Golf Tour’s Major Series.

Throughout the war, British and American forces were equal-opportunity arsonists. More than a year before British forces incinerated their national capital, American forces in 1813 sacked York (present-day Toronto), the capital of Upper Canada. After an ammunition explosion at a garrison killed 300 Americans, irate U.S. forces responded by burning York’s provincial parliament and other public buildings. A British imperial lion looted by the Americans is still possessed by the U.S. Naval Academy.
