Fire ants confirmed in Chilliwack
Q H ONOURING V IMY R IDGE
Researcher won’t say where, but they’re here
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
A B.C. biologist who specializes in ants says Chilliwack is one of several Lower Mainland locations where European fire ants have been confirmed. Robert Higgins, an entomologist from Thompson Rivers University, says he can pinpoint their arrival in B.C. to about four years ago after he examined a specimen he’d been sent by Agriculture Canada. “I had been suspecting this ant would show up,” Higgins said. Anecdotal reports on social media of fire ants, which have not been confirmed by Higgins, cite Chilliwack streets such as Maple, Hazel, Brooks, Kent, Princess and Charles. But City of Chilliwack reps say they have had no official reports from citizens about the presence of European fire ants in Chilliwack. Higgins would not disclose or confirm any of the specific locations that he is aware of in Chilliwack due to privacy issues, but is still willing to help owners who think they have fire ants. The defining characteristic of the European fire ant is that when their nests are disturbed, they will swarm, sometimes in the thousands. They actually weren’t known to cause Continued: ANTS/ p4

Emergency spill drill conducted on Cheam beach Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
There was no actual oil spilled yesterday into the Fraser River. It was just an emergency response exercise being conducted Thursday by Kinder Morgan officials on the Cheam First Nation beach. But the public may have noticed some extra activity and traffic under the Agassiz-Rosedale bridge. They were demonstrating Kinder Morgan emergency spill response plans and testing containment equipment for most of the day. It was a scheduled exercise
“conducted as part of the company’s ongoing commitment to safety and emergency preparedness,” said officials in a press release from Kinder Morgan. The drill saw land‐based instruction on spill response equipment setup and deployment, followed by an on‐water deployment of emergency equipment including a containment boom. “I’m glad that Kinder Morgan decided to do this on our reserve,” said Darwin Douglas, a Cheam First Nation band councillor. “It’s good for us to get a glimpse of some of their emergency preparedness plans and response techniques.” Pipeline safety is obviously of
huge concern to Cheam members, and to the First Nations community in general, Douglas underlined. “Many people had questions, like where the emergency equipment is located, and how long would it take to get here in the case of a spill,” he said. “It’s a large concern for us in terms of fishing, or other cultural uses in the area, and the environmental health of our territory in general.” Keeping the channels of communication open with pipeline proponents is also important. “So this exercise was appreciated by us since their existing pipeline goes through areas of cultural use, including those near
the river,” he said. Equipment included trucks and an oil spill response trailer, a small front‐end loader, and three Kinder Morgan Canada boats. In addition to the spill response equipment, the wildlife response unit was also on display. “The purpose of this exercise is to practise Kinder Morgan Canada’s emergency response plans to ensure an effective and coordinated response in the unlikely event of an emergency,” the release said. “Kinder Morgan Canada conducts regular emergency response training each year at various locations and under different scenarios.” Continued: SPILL/ p8

Province replaces board chair of Fraser Health Authority Jeff Nagel Black Press The provincial government has suddenly replaced Fraser Health board chair David Mitchell as it continues a probe into budget overruns at B.C.’s biggest health authority. Wynne Powell, the longtime chair of the Provincial Health Services Authority, will take over on an interim basis. The move comes more than five months into a strategic and operational review ordered into Fraser by the province as a result of its recur-
ring failure to stay within its budget allocations. “We felt it was important to have new leadership on the board – fresh eyes to implement any of the recommendations that come out of this review,” Health Minister Terry Lake said Wednesday of the decision to install Powell. “We’re relying on his abilities to bring about changed management, which will be necessary with Fraser Health going through this review process.” Fraser has been receiving six per cent a year budget increases
in recent years – more than 4.8 per cent at other B.C. health regions – and Lake previously said that’s too far out of line with the region’s population increases of 1.3 per cent annually. The large number of older residents in the region are expected to intensify pressure on Fraser’s budget in the years ahead, and Lake said there are other challenges, including a diverse, rapidly growing population that’s split between urban and rural areas. NDP health critic Judy Darcy said she hopes the review is broad-
ened to take a more detailed look at what she called the ongoing crises in front-line health care. “I hope the fresh eyes are not only about doing the government’s bidding and making sure the budget is balanced,” Darcy said. “Fraser Health has significant needs and just a budget-cutting exercise is not going to improve health care.” The last incident of unexpected turnover of a Fraser board chair happened in 2007, when then-chair Keith Purchase quit and Vancouver Coastal’s chair was fired by the prov-
ince. They had warned Victoria that inadequate budgets for the Lower Mainland health regions would lead to a care crisis. Mitchell served for three and a half years as chair of Fraser’s board. In an upbeat statement issued by Fraser, Mitchell said health authority staff are passionate, determined and optimistic “despite operating in challenging circumstances.” He credited their willingness to “confront challenges with innovation and openness to look at doing things differently.”
Sto:lo is synonymous with business Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A new initiative called Sto:lo Means Business is out to build capacity for aboriginal entrepreneurs across the vast Sto:lo territory. It was launched Wednesday afternoon in the Coqualeetza Longhouse by Sto:lo Community Futures, with an original song written by Inez Jasper just for the event. There are We’re an estimated 150 aboriginal listening and owned businessresponding es across Sto:lo territory, representing 10,000 to aboriginal people. The business territory spans from the mouth people, both of the Fraser on and off River in New reserve Westminster, to just beyond Hope. “All 150 of ~ Shirley those businesses Hardman could benefit from this initiative,” said Shirley Hardman, chair of the Sto:lo Community Futures (SCF) board of directors. They’re working on a five-year plan to recognize and promote business on Sto:lo territory, with the aim of making it a hub for First Nations business growth by facilitating access to training and partnerships, micro-loans and investors. There’s a clear emphasis on relationships being fostered, as well as the business angles in Sto:lo Means Business. “We’re not following anyone else’s model on this,” said Hardman. “We’re listening and responding to aboriginal business people, both on and off reserve. It’s an idea that is really home grown.”

Keeping the river banks pristine takes a community This Saturday will feature the 41st cleanup event organized by the Chilliwack-Vedder River Cleanup Coalition starting out from the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve Society Registration for the cleanup is from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. at the nature reserve. The volunteers expect to add substantially to the incredible total of 87.7 metric tonnes of garbage collected in past cleanups since 2002. It took concerted efforts by 6,226 volunteers who donated 24,904 volunteer hours of work to yield those totals. The cleanup will go ahead rain or shine, so dress appropriately for the weather, wear sturdy footwear and bring a refillable drink container, say organizers.

More details are available at www.vmta.ca. Meanwhile, across town last weekend they removed 9,300 kg of trash from the banks of the Fraser River. On Saturday, April 5, about 170 volunteers joined organizers with

the Fraser Riverkeeper Society to tackle local sections of the Fraser. They disposed of mattresses, shotgun shells, household garbage and even an old safe. The event was hosted by the Fraser Riverkeeper Society, Woodtone and Rotz Disposal. “It was incredible to see so many people give up their Saturday to participate in this river cleanup,” said Acting Chilliwack Mayor Ken Popove. “Having so many different user groups in the area come together sends a strong message that illegal dumping is unacceptable and will be reported.” The City of Chilliwack waived the tipping fees for the materials collected. “The river is my family’s back-
yard, it’s where we go camping, quadding, fishing,” said Andy Rotzetter, owner and president of Rotz Disposal. “It’s a place we really love, but the way some people treat it is just shameful.” He offered sincere thanks to those who helped. “This year’s huge success is another great example of the collective effort of user groups and people from all walks of life,” said Kevin Raffle of Woodtone. “All of us have a stake in what is happening in these places our children are going to inherit. The message we’re hearing loud and clear from everyone at the cleanup was ‘Let’s solve this problem. We’re not going to tolerate this anymore in our community.’”

any trouble for humans until about a decade ago. “This seems to be a more aggressive and invasive variety of fire ants than we had seen previously,� Higgins said. They are known to invade the landscape and colonize it with highly dense nests in people’s gardens and I have lawns. “When they were first reported in the (scientific) literature 40 or even 100 years ago, it was ‘hey this ant is here,’ but it wasn’t having a big impact yet on other insects. “Whatever is happening now, it is pushing out other insects. It’s actually displacing native ants.� Specimens from Chilliwack homeowners were sent to the researcher in recent years to help identify and confirm this ant species was really here. So what is the very best way to permanently remove European fire ants? “Right now we don’t have a best way,� Higgins replied. “It’s all about preventing the spread.� There’s some tests underway to remove entire colonies of fire ants by coaxing them into containers. But traditional pest control methods, like the standard use of pesticides, may not work at all. “Research in Maine showed that pesticide was not effective,� he said. What about boric acid? “It’s not as promising as I
thought, but we may want to refine how it is done.� One of two confirmed Chilliwack locations for European fire ants covers a five-block radius. Higgins said the last time he was in Chilliwack with other researchers, they mapped out the distribution of fire ant nests in that one area.

�
The thing is these are not your typical backyard ants. Their colonies can have up to 1,000 workers and 20 queens. “I have seen up to four colonies in one square metre.� They swarm in huge numbers, and pack quite a sting. Although the sting is not quite as painful as a wasp bite, people can be stung simultaneously by several ants at once, and some will suffer from painful swelling. It’s been likened the painful sensation of stinging nettles. These fire ants are also different from the Southern variety that plagues the southeastern United States, such as New Orleans, and have been established in North America for more than 100 years. Some of Higgins’ research involves trying to find an effective way to remove the European fire ants, as well as mapping out their complex nests.

Higgins has a bit of advice for concerned residents. One, when they bring any kind of soil onto their properties, it should be thoroughly checked for the presence of ants. Soil movement is the main way they are spread around. Two, if they already have the ants, it’s important to stop the spread into the neighbourhood. in one wider “We’re looking at how to take advantage of any natural barriers to their movement, like a retaining wall, or someone’s lawn that is never watered.� The third priority is finding ways to get rid of them, or at least “knock them back,� he said. “I do want to encourage people to contact me if they think they have European fire ants on their properties,� he said. “We’ll let them know if they do or don’t. If they don’t, it’s a huge relief. “If it turns out they do have them, we’ll provide information to let them know what they are up against, and some ideas to help them reduce the numbers.� Email him for information at rhiggins@tru.ca or Google rhiggins ants to find his web page which can help homeowners with the ID.

New recycling regulations to impact agri businesses Alex Butler
achieve its goals. MMBC is poised to take over curbside recycling collection in the province, although Abbotsford has opted out of the program for now, as city council has concerns the program is not business-friendly and would actually decrease the amount of waste diverted from the local garbage stream. For Van Belle it’s a concern because the nursery can’t simply reduce its use of pots. “We have to have a pot to produce a plant. It’s not just extra packaging.” The potential impact on business was recognized by the BC Chamber of Commerce which, as the program took shape, pushed the government for changes. In early February, the government announced it would exempt any business with an annual revenue of less than $1 million, which produces less than one tonne of packaging and printed paper produced annually, or has a single point of retail sale. The government said that means fewer than 3,000 business in the province will be hit by the regulations and the move was lauded by chambers through the province. But business associations have come out against MMBC even after the changes, including the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, the BC Agriculture Council, Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters, the BC Yukon Community Newspapers Association, The Canadian Newspapers Association and more.
Black Press
The diversity of plants at the Van Belle Nursery in Abbotsford – the evergreens, roses, shrubs and vines – all have one thing in common. They are grown in pots. A new provincial recycling program set to take effect on May 19 will mean every pot will carry an added cost for Dave Van Belle, president of the nursery his parents founded in the ’70s. The government is gearing up to implement the new and controversial regulations from Multi-Material B.C. (MMBC), an industry stewardship group which will charge businesses for recycling the packing and paper they generate. In 2011, B.C.’s recycling regulation was updated, with the goal of shifting the cost and responsibility for managing residential recycling from local government and taxpayers to the businesses that produce the materials. MMBC’s plan was approved by the Ministry of the Environment in 2013. MMBC is a non-profit that plans to operate the residential packaging and printed paper collection and recycling system on behalf of the companies that pay into the program. Van Belle said he agrees with the environmental principles of the program – the nursery already recycles everything it can – but absorbing the additional cost of the program will be difficult, and he’s not certain it will
Dave Van Belle, president of Van Belle Nursery in Abbotsford, is concerned by the province’s new recycling program. The new producerpay system, set to launch on May 19, will mean an additional charge on every plant pot at the nursery. ALEX BUTLER/ BLACK PRESS
Those groups have launched a campaign and a website – rethinkitbc.ca – to pressure Victoria on the issue. The website outlines the concern that many small- and medium-sized businesses will still be captured by the regulations, including anyone who owns a franchise, no matter how small. The organizations also express the concern that businesses generating just below $1 million in revenue, producing less than one tonne in packaging per year or looking to expand to a second location will be put off by having to join MMBC –
therefore stifling business growth. BC Agriculture council vice-chair Stan Vander Waal has said the program will impact berry farmers whose operations aren’t exempt, as they package strawberries and blueberries in plastic clamshells because retailers insist that’s what consumers want. “We have to wear the cost,” he said, adding MMBC fees will cost his Chilliwack farm $60,000 to $100,000 a year. “It goes directly against growing agriculture.” The Van Belle Nursery generates more than $1 million per year in
revenue and will have to participate. But Van Belle considers the nursery, a family-run organization with about 100 staff members at its peak, to be a small business. “(With MMBC) I’m treated like a big business. I’m treated like a Walmart. We’re just farmers here at the end of the day, trying to grow plants and make a living.” He predicts that at a minimum, the new program will cost $20,000 to $30,000 annually for the nursery – not an easy cost to absorb. But in addition to the cost, Van Belle is concerned by the increase in red tape. Because the nursery sells products wholesale to other businesses or landscapers, it falls on the nursery to determine which clients are exempt from the program and who to charge for putting packaging into the commercial waste stream. With hundreds of clients, Van Belle said the additional work will be staggering. Van Belle said he feels the charges should be made at the point of production of the pots, or at the point of sale in order to make the price more clear to consumers. “Why am I the guy in the middle doing this?” He also said he feels it makes an uneven playing field for businesses, as it increases the competition between him and smaller operations which are exempt from the program and businesses from out of province who don’t have to comply with the rules.

Mountain beaver talk on Tuesday Jennifer Feinberg

The Progress
This burrowing creature is more of a rodent than a beaver, despite its name. The mountain beaver will be in the spotlight at a lecture April 15 by biologist Pontus Lindgren at Vedder middle school at 7:30 p.m. The talk will cover the natural history of the species and factors that have led to its federal listing as a species of special concern and a provincial listing as a “blue-listed” species be highlighted. Some of its nicknames include “ground bear” or “giant mole.” Lindgren will also share his own mountain beaver experiences gained from several years working with this unique animal. Stories will include photos from live-trapping sessions and, if his computer cooperates, some video clips of this rarely seen, rabbit-sized, living fossil that lives beneath the ground in many of our backyards. The biologist is now environmental manager with Westpark Electric, a Chilliwack-based company building run-of-river hydro projects in B.C. Lindgren has worked on several species of conser vation concern and began working on mountain beavers in the 1990s. In 2003 he was involved with a live-

Recycling plan problematic
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
Recycling is supposed to make the world a better place, but we’ll be a lot worse off under the province’s new producer-pay recycling system. Businesses will be burdened by bills, companies will close and jobs will disappear – these are foreseeable outcomes if the provincial government doesn’t reconsider the regulations scheduled to come into effect next month. In principle, producer-pay is a fine idea. Forcing manufacturers to reassess packaging will lead to environmentally friendly innovation. B.C. is just one teensy patch of Earth, but we can make a little bit of a difference, and little bits of a difference can add up to a greener, cleaner world. That’s all well and good – but unfortunately, that’s not all we’re getting with Multi Material B.C. MMBC’s per-kilogram fees are so out of touch with other jurisdictions as to seem arbitrary, and they’re problematic. In this day and age, goods are bought and sold in a global marketplace, and with this new recycling scheme, the government is consciously putting B.C. businesses at a competitive disadvantage. Successful companies are ones that are already finding efficiencies, and to demand more from them, well, at some point the province is asking too much. Take community newspapers, for example. We manage to compete in a modern media environment. Amid the tweets and text messages flying around, there’s a place for local news in our community’s consciousness and on its coffee tables. Call us old-fashioned, but we still like words on paper, and if our ‘packaging’ becomes prohibitively expensive, newspapers will crumple and fold. Across B.C., municipalities, regional districts and chambers of commerce are publicly opposing new recycling regulations. We ask that civic leaders and business leaders in Chilliwack do the same. Let’s recycle. But when we do, let’s make sure, at the same time, that we aren’t doing more harm than good in our communities. ~ Black Press
L OCALLY G LOBAL
Fall of the Parti Quebecois reshapes political landscape Usually, provincial elections are just something of passing interest to most people but that Quebec dust-up last Monday sure grabbed attention, not to mention relief (for many), with the Liberal Party winning such a strong majority. The Parti Quebecois took a real beating and will be licking its wounds for some time to come while they sit out and soul search, wondering what went wrong. Really? In the 19 months since the PQ ousted the Liberals in 2012, the (now former) Premier Marois introduced the controversial Charter of Values to the howls of protest not only from inside Quebec but across the country. The charter sought to ban the wearing of religious symbols for anyone employed by the Quebec government and barred the hijab, turban, kippah (yarmulke),
burka, or any notably visible crucifix or religious symbol while on the job. Then she called an unnecessary election with the strategy of wanting to see the PQ move up the popularity pole to majority government status. But in the campaign the sovereignty issue sur faced and took flight Margaret with the misguided concept of a EVANS referendum question. Seems to me they’ve been down that road before with a “no” vote telling them Quebecers wanted to stay in Canada. What were they thinking? Hardcore separatists aside, clearly the majority of Quebecers were asking the same thing. So
they gave the PQ the boot, moving them from a minority status to a species at risk. Liberal leader and now incoming Premier Philippe Couillard couldn’t be happier. The party won 41.5 per cent of the popular vote and 70 seats. A neurosurgeon by profession, he made a career move into politics in 2003, becoming Minister of Health and Social Services and one of the most popular ministers in the Charest government. He became leader of the Quebec Liberal Party in March 2013. When Premier Marois floated her Quebec Charter of Values, Couillard instantly saw problems ahead. His distain of that lessthan-valued policy was described by him as an unnecessary bill that will only divide Quebecers. No doubt. Couillard has his work cut out for him. At the top of the to-do

list is for his government to fix a wobbly economy which will likely remain lack-lustre for the rest of this year. But going for him right now is the fact that, if there is one thing economists like after an election, it is certainty. The Liberal’s win assures a level of stability for the next four years. That sense of renewed optimism was strong enough to nudge the dollar up a quarter of a cent. Now, sound economic policies and budgets can get passed without endless squabbling with opposition parties and the Libs can focus on honouring their election campaign pledge to create 250,000 jobs over the next five years. Quebec’s new political landscape is a much healthier reflection of what all Canadians want – a stronger economy, stability, growth, and shared prosperity. Right now, Quebec has to deal
with a crumbling health care system, high debt, and a lack of new job opportunities. And the profile of Quebecers has changed. Many are neither Anglophone nor Francophone but ethnic immigrants with values that will play into the mosaic of Quebec’s future profile. They need jobs, business oppor tunities and investments, and social support systems. Politics of course has endless moving parts. Referendums and the separatist debate are pretty much shelved for the foreseeable future which is not to say it won’t return. But this election is a strong statement from Quebecers that, for them, the status quo is working. I guess they have figured out Canada’s a pretty decent place to live. But we knew that all along, didn’t we?

10 YEAR
More work needed on ALR reform ANNIVERSARY The trouble with the Agricultural Land Reserve Act is that it promises things it can never deliver. To the developer, the existence of a mechanism to remove land provides the hope of cheap, easy to develop land. In Chilliwack, almost every piece of “farm” land from Evans Rd. in the west to Prest Rd. in the east is owned or optioned by people interested in the future development potential of the land, not its agricultural capacity. Despite the Agricultural Land Commission’s obvious commitment, its very existence, and the mechanism to remove land, drives speculation and price. The net result is that agricultural land in Chilliwack is likely 10 times higher in value than it should be. To the farmers – not those who benefit from supply managed commodities, but those romanticized by media and “city folk,” who try to make a living selling fruit, vegetables, beef or pork - the hope was that the Agricultural Land Reserve Act and the protection of farm land would translate into protection for agricultural industries as a whole. The price of land and cheap imports has decimated this portion of the industry. Clearly, the loss of all major food production facilities in Chilliwack stands as a testament to the decline in all non-protected production. The ALR Act has done nothing to pro-
tect the agricultural industry as a whole. To many people living in communities, the hope of the ALR was to forever be surrounded by bucolic vistas and open space. The naïve belief was being surrounded by undevelopable farmland would put an end to growth. We could all live happily in our large lot, single family homes. Unfortunately, growth doesn’t stop and the preservation of the “open spaces” came with other costs… higher density, hillside development, higher housing prices… and smells. Had I a dollar for every smell complaint while Mayor I could have retired years ago. As the provincial government looks at the issue, my experience tells me there is really only one solution. Re-assess the land in the reserve to ensure we have it all right, call it an agricultural land reserve and remove any ability to have it released for any other purpose. Re-development will become the new reality, and will accelerate development in areas ready for redevelopment, like the downtown. Good developers will always make money. Inexperienced developers who require easy-to-develop projects will drop out of the business. The impact of freezing the use of all agricultural land will lower the price of farmland which could, hopefully, mean more profitability
for crops and products not currently protected by supply management. Communities would become denser, however despite the fears, this actually does bring more vibrant, safer and more walk-able neighbourhoods. Higher densities make transit more effective and more efficient. Higher densities also mean more tax revenue per acre and more efficient municipal services. There are two large bullets we have to bite on. Firstly, we cannot implement this legislation as it was in the past. The 1972 ALR Act amounted to basic and simple expropriation without compensation. Governments must buy up the development rights from the agricultural land owners. Over time this can be accomplished through tax restructuring, both municipal and provincial. Secondly, there will need to be much more work done on the urban/agricultural interface. Smells are one thing, however, much more work needs to be done on agricultural run-off and disruptive farm practices like bird-scare devices. The current proposal of a twotiered system of land is flawed. As long as the option for removal exists, nothing will change. Just my humble opinion. Clint Hames, Chilliwack
Electoral changes for the best: Strahl Re: Elections act fair for whom? While the president of the Liberal riding association, Louis De Jaeger didn’t address it in his letter to the editor, the truth is there is a problem with both vouching and the voter ID cards in federal elections. An Elections Canada compliance report found, “serious errors, of a type the courts consider ‘irregularities’ that can contribute to an election being overturned, were found to occur in 12 per cent of all election day cases involving voter registration, and 42 per cent of cases involving identity vouching.”
An election result overturned by the courts would invalidate every legitimate ballot cast in that election robbing eligible voters of their right to exercise their franchise. This should be of great concern to everyone who claims they are interested in protecting “one of the basic rights of Canadians.” Voting is a basic right but it does come with requirements including citizenship, age and residency. While we all want “to increase citizen participation by getting more people out to vote,” we want to ensure that the votes cast meet the strict requirements Canadians
have agreed to. That is why the Fair Elections Act will require voters to prove who they are and where they live when they are voting. Voters will be able to do so using 39 separate pieces of ID which include everything from a drivers’ licence to a student card. The Fair Elections Act also recognizes the failure of Elections Canada’s recent promotional campaigns. Since the Elections Canada promotional campaigns began in 1993 voter turnout has fallen from 75 per cent to 61 per cent. Youth participation has fallen 20 per cent since 1984.
That is why the Fair Elections Act will see Elections Canada return to informing citizens of the basics of voting: where, when and what ID to bring; and to ensure disabled people know of the extra tools available to help them vote (such as wheelchair ramps, sign language services, Braille services for the visually impaired, for example). While the Liberals may choose to ignore these challenges, the Conservative government is working to enhance our electoral laws and protect the integrity of every ballot.

science. It begins with the blend of beans. Ghaffari uses several varieties to make his espresso blend that he has personally sourced from countries around the world. Each bean is chosen for its special characteristics – richness, colour, sweetness, depth and finish. They’re roasted separately and blended with a kind of ardor that has earned him the title, “King of the Espresso” from fellow coffee aficionados. But a good blend can still be ruined if it’s not prepared correctly. That’s why Ghaffari invested in a top-of-the-line manual espresso machine. This is where the science and artistry truly meet. It’s part feel (like the amount of pressure applied to the tamper), and part knowledge, like the heat of the water or the brewing time. (“The last seven seconds are critical,” Ghaffari says.)
Even how the milk is heated can affect the complexion of the final product. Done wrong, it’s coffee and warm milk. Done right, “The cup will speak to you,” Ghaffari says. With the addition of his new Brasilia coffee maker, Ghaffari can demonstrate how the perfect latté, macchiato, or espresso should taste. But more, Pacific Roasters is also willing to lease its equipment and expertise for catered events, even other coffee shops. It’s all part of Ghaffari’s personal mission to spread the gospel of good coffee, and share a beverage he truly believes is divine. Pacific Roasters is located near Eagle Landing at 44981 Commercial Court in Chilliwack. For more information, call (604) 701-6887, or go to www.pacificcoffeeroasters.com

The coffee’s always on at Pacific Roasters. But this is not your average Chilliwack java joint. For more than six years Pacific Roasters has been importing, roasting and distributing coffee to an ever expanding market, both here in the Lower Mainland, across B.C. and even into Alberta. Now, owner Reza Ghaffari is stepping it up a notch. He’s recently added a highend commercial espresso machine, giving him the opportunity to do what he’s always set out to do: deliver the finest cup of coffee in the world. That may seem an ambitious goal. But a conversation with Ghaffari leaves little doubt he means what he says. To say he’s passionate about coffee is like saying a lion is hungry. His love for coffee can be traced to his early youth in Iran. His father was in the coffee business, and the first beans he held was when he was only six. Since then he has travelled the world, and sharpened his appreciation for a drink he believes too many of us take for granted. True, Canada has come a long way from the instant coffee of our parents, sifted with “whitener” and soothed by a dollop sweetener. But when Ghaffari thinks of coffee, he thinks back to the coffee houses of Italy, Vienna and elsewhere in Europe. That’s the kind of experience he hopes to bring to Chilliwack. There is an artistry in making the prefect cup of coffee, Ghaffari insists. But there is also

The two Tsimshian communities claim lands known as Grassy Point as part of their traditional territory, and the agreements could mean up to $15 million from

LNG export revenues. Benefit sharing has been the B.C. government’s preferred strategy to advance industrial development in areas of the province where treaties remain unresolved. They began
with logging, and in recent years have been applied to mining agreements. Grassy Point is the site of two proposed LNG developments north of Prince Rupert. One is Aurora LNG,
a joint venture involving Nexen Energy, a division of the China National Overseas Oil Company (CNOOC). The other is proposed by Woodside, an Australian oil and gas company.

News
New recycling rules worry ag biz RECYCLING from page 5 Van Belle’s concerns go beyond his own business. He has concerns that MMBC will operate as a monopoly without government oversight, affecting people across the province. The MMBC program will be administered in Ontario, and two of its three directors are Toronto-based senior executives with Loblaws and Unilever. The NDP has criticized the program, accusing the government of handing over control of the recycling system to Torontobased multinational executives, and small business critic Lana Popham has called on the government to change its course, and postpone the launch of the program until more discussion can be held with businesses and communities. Naomi Yamamoto, Liberal MLA and minister of state for small business, said that the program provides an incentive for producers
to reduce their packaging, adding that the businesses’ exemptions mean only one per cent of businesses must comply with regulations. But Van Belle said regardless of incentive, he can’t reduce his packaging. Allen Langdon, managing director for MMBC, disagrees, saying that “the plant pots are used literally to package the plant as it gets transported,” adding that after it is planted the pot could end up in a landfill. He said that MMBC increases the incentive to recycle the material and the program as a whole forces businesses “to make decisions and look at opportunities to reduce packaging. “You only pay for your share of the waste … with the idea that we can develop a system that will recycle that material.” Van Belle said he has been in contact with local MLAs who have been receptive to his concerns. Langdon said that

all of which ended in death. According to the BC Cancer Agency, approximately 500 new cases are diagnosed in B.C. every year. And it’s not just smokers or alcohol consumers at risk anymore. There are growing incidences of oral cancers linked to people carrying the human papillomavirus (HPV) – meaning younger, sexually active people are also at risk. “The demographic of the disease is changing; a different population is now at risk,� said Vigneault. “Oral screenings can save lives. Dentists are the people who can actually diagnose or find oral cancers – dentists are the doctors of the mouth.� In the early stages of oral cancer, there is often no visible signs or discomfort. As such, many oral cancers are discovered when they’re already advanced and less responsive to treatment. But with the state-ofthe-art early screening device – the Visually Enhanced Lesion Scope (VELscope) – those cancers can be detected much earlier. VELscope is a handheld instrument that uses fluorescence to highlight deep-rooted abnormalities in the soft tissues of the mouth. “It’s kind of like when you wear a white shirt under a black light and the shirt glows,� said Vigneault. “When you use this frequency of light on an abnormal tissue, the tissue reflects light differently, it appears darker than it normally would, and that leads to suspicion and investigation.� The screening is pain-free and takes less than five minutes to perform. In Chilliwack, there is a Willow Dental Care clinic in Garrison Crossing on Vedder Road and in Salish Plaza on Yale Road. There is also a 123Dentist.com in Eagle Landing. For more information or to book a screening go to the website www.willowdentalcare. com or 123dentist.com. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

variable valve timing, mated to a six-speed automatic transmission. The two base engines available are a solid 2.4-litre four-cylinder and a 2.5 version, both of which are likely adequate for commuter use. I headed straight for Highway One and it positively purred along the long, clear stretches open to the daytime driver. Great acceleration in take-off and passing with limited lean and sway when cornering at speed. Back in urban madness, it offered a good view of fast encroaching vehicles from side streets and the rear. I mention this because I expected the sleek window profiles might hinder views, especially to the rear. Hence, it was also not as much of a beast to park at the supermarket as I had feared. Light steering also assisted in that manouevre. On the urban performance front, the transmission took the annoyance out of stop-go traffic. Have to think it was gulping gas though in smoothing out the urban trek. The Impala with the V6 starts at $32,945 (around $3,000 more than the 4-cylinder-equipped versions) but the test car options, which included rear park assist, rear vision camera, collision and lane departure alerts, premium audio, sunroof, added another $7,000. It will compete with the Dodge Charger and Ford Taurus domestically and a host of imports. Now to my reservations: the fuel economy for the V6 is 11.1/6.9L 100km (city/highway) and while that is not bad for a large car, it’s not the best in its segment. The four-cylinder eco version is impressive at 8.7/5.8L 100km (city/ highway). That said,I don’t think fuel economy will be a deal breaker for most people. My continued reservations really boil down to reliability. It’s a brand new car and we should wait a couple or three years before anointing this car as the best domestic sedan ever. That caution should not stop you from taking one for a spin. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

gave him all the wrong answers. And, I didn’t tell him the camper was way too heavy for the truck to be safe. He also asked for a vehicle history report. I pulled the CarProof report out. I mean, I had nothing to hide. He asked me what “rebuilt*” meant. I told him that, because of the small accident, the transmission needed to be rebuilt. Oh, but I’d altered the sections detailing the amount of damage. Judging from his English skills, I’m sure he didn’t understand the difference. At least he was trying. He got an “A” for effort. I hope he figures out that the truck and camper would be unsafe on the road when he gets it fully loaded with passengers, fuel and gear. Good thing I have my “no returns” policy! Yes, I know what you’re all thinking. This is the lowest of the low. But you have to understand. I was slightly manic about this whole thing. At this point, I would do anything to make a sale and get myself another wallet full of cash.
This Fiesta ST is a gem in the subcompact class, delivering great economy, fabulous interior and plenty of smiles.

Confessions of a Curber
Thank goodness, the stolen vehicle was behind me. Did I feel bad? Yes. Does it make me a bad person for selling a stolen vehicle? Probably. But to outsiders, my life hasn’t changed. I’m still the same old Walt. Oh, if they only knew. I was on a roll. To my disbelief, I’d sold seven cars already. I guess you could say it was a part of me now – I “flip” cars on the side. And, I was branching out – with a truck and camper. The truck had been rebuilt. It was roadworthy again. I even had the inspection records to prove it. And the camper? That was marketing genius. When I put it up for sale, I fibbed. But only a little bit. “Truck for sale. Fixed after fender bender, looks new. Includes camper. It’s been in an accident, so I’m selling both for a low price. Great for family adventures. Call if interested.” Shortly after, I got a call. The man had a distinct, charming accent. He asked me what a “fender bender” was. I explained that it was a small accident. He seemed pleased and asked to meet me the next day. I assumed he was relatively new to the country, so I thought this would be an easy sale. Boy was I wrong! He’d gone to “new immigrant” welcome classes, where they shared information about life in Canada. I think this was where he developed an interest in camping Canadian style. He knew all the right questions to ask. But, I

red brake calipers cost $500 more. The base ST at $24,999 comes very well equipped and is ready to cause some trouble. Inside: The first thing that pops right out on the ST interior are the two heavily bolstered Recaro sports seats. They are snug and supportive but lack some simple, yet important adjustments. The front of the seat sits much higher than the back so your backside is very low with your knees pointing up. This produces a sporty feel initially but on longer trips, the lack of adjustment prevents the driver from being able to stretch their legs. The dash has been updated to include a MyFord Touch screen for radio, phone, navigation and climate functions. The ST comes standard with very powerful front seat heaters, automatic climate control, a fat leather steering wheel with redundant radio controls and a leather covered manual shifter. The back seat has always been tight in the Fiesta. Drive: In an era of cars that almost drive themselves, the Fiesta ST is a throwback to a time when the driver felt connected to the machine. The suspension is much firmer than the regular Fiesta, almost harsh over bumpy roads but the feedback to the driver through the tight steering ratio, firm chassis and the grippy Recaro seats is superb. The turbocharged, direct injection 1,6L Ecoboost engine pumps out 197hp. Only sold with a super-slick manual transmission that shifts with no effort at all and the clutch is precise. In such a small car, this engine lets the driver do pretty much anything at will. This really is a car that does everything very well, including getting good fuel economy when the throttle is used lightly: using only 7.8L/100km in the city and 5.6L on the highway. Verdict: At $24,999, the price might seem a bit steep for a subcompact car but this little machine comes almost fully loaded for that price. The options available are not “must have” items so the price can be kept in check. This Fiesta ST is a gem in the subcompact class, delivering great economy, fabulous interior and plenty of smiles.

of the STI – without Tommi in the car, thank goodness – and take to the 3.1-mile track. Prior to the hot laps, I had driven the outgoing 2014 Subaru STI on the same course. I’d be back-to-back testing these all-wheel drive machines to see how the engineering prowess has, yet again, continued to make a vehicle with a cult-like following even better. Rewind a few hours to the start-of-the-day’s press conference. Masuo Takatsu, WRX STI Project General Manager, mentioned the modus operandi of the fourth generation STI was to create a

I’m riding shotgun along with two others in the back. The ease and effortlessness in which he wrangles the 305 turbocharged horses of the Subaru via the 6-speed manual gearbox is really no surprise. After all, he’s not a champion because he looks good doing it. So, if the pro can make it look and feel as perfect as a summer’s day, I should be able to as well, right?

vehicle that behaves as the drivers expects it to. Mission accomplished. Though I didn’t even come close to Tommi’s performance, that wasn’t my goal. The goal was to experience first-hand how docile yet potent Subaru’s famed sedan took to the high speeds and corners of the club track. I had no desire to hand the keys over to my colleagues as they eagerly anticipated their time in the Rally Blue beauty. It would be sacrilege if I didn’t insert some technical jargon into the reasoning why the STI scored big points on the road test. Without getting too deep into the engineering, here are the top three take-home points of this incredible vehicle. One: the increased use of high-strength steel makes for a stiffer and stronger body, and decreases its tendency to twist and bend in corners. The result? A more predictable handling sedan that isn’t easily irked and stays firmly planted to the ground. Furthermore, the 2015 STI achieves 16 percent less body roll than before. Two: You have the practicality of added dimensions. There is 25mm added to wheelbase, there is 900mm more legroom in back and you get 20L more cargo space. Three: The Base WRX and STI don’t have a rear spoiler. The Sport and Sport-tech WRX has a trunk lip spoiler and the corresponding STI trims have the “table for six” or very large spoiler! Perhaps it’s also sacrilege to not put the emphasis of this review on the design and engineering of this new generation of STI. After all, it has been reimagined on both the inside and out. But anyone who knows the vehicle is aware that it is in

a class of its own, with few competitors that can come close to the emotional appeal that this sedan brings to the market. And anyone not familiar with it should be aware that, despite its 2.5L turbocharged engine, which produces the aforementioned 305 horsepower and 290 lbft of torque, it is as gracious and powerful as a samurai soldier and his sword. Now, for those who are looking for similar excitement but not as many ponies, fear not, Subaru has their WRX to captivate you. Also completely redesigned on the inside and out, you have the magic of the Japanese brand’s 2.0L, turbocharged engine that produces 268 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque and also the choice of a manual or a Sport Lineartronic transmission. Performance, good times, outstanding engineering and hot colours equate to the new 2015 Subaru WRX and WRX STI. WRC driver not included. The 2015 WRX has a starting MSRP of $29,995 whereas the WRX STI has a starting MSRP of $37,995. Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

vanced personal safety system that control deployment of the dual stage front airbags, front seat side airbags, and side canopy air bags. Advance-Trac and roll stability control comes standard. MyKey technology allows you to program the ignition keys with reminders to drive at appropriate speeds, limit the volume on audio system, limiting the vehicles top speed, muting the audio system until the front seatbelts are fastened. There are second-row inflatable safety belts, which work like a traditional belt but include a tubular airbag that inflates in the event of a crash and distributes the force of the impact across a wider area of the passenger’s chest A feature called Curve control, automatically provides more aggressive four-wheel braking when the truck is going into a corner too fast. There are host of safety systems. Adaptive cruise control, allows drivers to set a cruising speed and use radar technology to monitor traffic ahead and maintain a safe distance between vehicles. The lane keeping system is designed to help avert unintentional drifting of the vehicle outside the intended driving lane. It automatically detects the left or right-hand road lane markings using a camera mounted between the windshield and interior rear-view mirror. Can’t believe I’ve got this far talking about a truck without mentioning power! - One of the engine choices is a new 2.7L EcoBoost engine that has undergone more than 16 million kilometres of testing. The other motors are the new 3.5L V6 EcoBoost that combines the efficiency of twin independent variable camshaft timing, and flex fuel capabilities, a 3.5L EcoBoost engine, which we are familiar with and a 5.0L V8. The trucks equipped with EcoBoost engines will benefit from standard Active Grille Shutters. Active Grille Shutters stay open when extra engine cooling is needed, such as during low-speed stop-and-go driving or while working in hot weather. They automatically close to reduce aerodynamic drag.

Handsome, technically sophisticated and economical to boot ommend buy” rating from Consumer Reports. Although higher than usual incidence of brake and electrical repair did show up on owner surveys, the overall rating for reliability was still better than average,
with major mechanical issues showing up. A rear-view camera was added to select packages on the sedan and coupe models in 2011 and three new exterior colours are available.
Except for Bluetooth connectivity with the optional Luxury Package on the sedan, Altima was unchanged for 2012. In crash tests performed by the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety) this
generation Altima performed well and got good ratings. However, it only got an “acceptable” rating in a roof crushability test, which simulates a roll-over. Another test of the front seats and head
restraints, which simulates a rear-end impact, also resulted in an “acceptable” rating. The next generation 2013 Altima, performed better in both of these tests and earned an overall “Top Safety Pick”
rating. Good to look at, technically sophisticated and economical to drive, the Nissan Altima can be a reliable, hard to beat used car purchase in the family sedan class.

Nissan substantially revamped the Altima, its popular family sedan, for the 2010 model year. In addition to external front and rear styling changes, its roomy interior got a onceover in a refurbish that also included two important new standard active safety features, electronic stability and traction control systems. The base engine in a 2010 Altima sedan or coupe is a robust 2.5-litre four cylinder and a 3.5-litre V6 was an option. A six-speed manual transmission was available with the four-cylinder and the continuously variable transmission option was standard with the V6 engine. The fuel-frugal 2.5 litre fourcylinder (175 horsepower) can get 8.9 L/100km in the city and 6.1 L/100km on the highway and runs on regular gasoline. The 3.5 litre V6 can produce a whopping 270 horsepower, yet it still provides decent city/highway fuel consumption (rated at 10.6/7.7 L/100km). It does, however, have a craving for premium quality fuel. A continuously variable transmission (CVT) is more efficient than a conventional automatic and is designed to always provide best fuel economy, however, some drivers dislike the way it holds engine speed at an optimal level. On the plus, it has a solid reputation for reliability and a nice feature of this CVT is a sequential manual mode that provides six speed settings. There’s also a less popular hybrid version of Altima, which claims an outstanding city fuel consumption rating of 5.8 L/100km. This fullhybrid powertrain was jointly developed with Toyota and can run for short distances completely on battery power. Like most hybrid sedans the battery pack is stored in the trunk. As a result, the rear seats do not fold-down to expand the cargo area and there’s a reduced amount of cargo space in the trunk. A push-button intelligent key system is standard on this generation Altima. It’s a convenient feature that allows you to start the engine without actually inserting a key in the switch barrel. The key fob must, of course, be inside the car and is best kept on your person. Altima got the coveted “rec-

Sardis secondary students from left, Mikaela Collins, Sarah Bester, Beth Shepherd, Katie Marenkov, Kelsey Carlson, and Erin Froese are heading to Hullabaloo, a youth slam poetry competition in Vancouver at the end of the month. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Hullabaloo: refusing to silence their poetic voice Katie Bartel The Progress
Poems are not meant to be hidden away in spiral notebooks, silent and invisible. At least, that’s the belief of a group of teenaged poets from Sardis secondary. This month, six students will be competing at Hullabaloo, a massive, youth poetry slam competition in Vancouver featuring teams from 16 B.C. schools comprising of more than 80 competitors. Hullabaloo is not a poetry reading, but a poetry performance. Using spoken word, these poems are aggressive, in-your-face, theatrical performances. They’re narratives, satires, eloquent rants all with poetic roots fused within. “It’s kinda like poetry and drama mixed together,” said Grade 12
student Katie Marenkov. In slams, five judges are randomly selected from the audience holding up numbered flip cards and awarding Olympic style scores between 1.0 and 10.0. Poets have just three minutes to perform – using hand gestures, facial expressions, verbal intonation, different scales of tone, and effective pauses to get the feeling of their poems across. Some are high energy, words bouncing off the walls in rapid succession, while others are quieter, more sullen, monotonous, leaving the audience feeling empty by the last word. The poems themselves heavily feature rhythm, word play, repetition, rhyme, and vivid imagery. “With spoken word, you want your audience to feel something,” said Grade 11 student Maecyn Klassen. “You want your audience

to feel the way you felt when you wrote it … you want them to feel the words, how much you loved those words when you first wrote them.” Slam poetry, which first originated in Chicago 30 years ago, has gained traction in recent years with today’s youth. At Sardis, a group of students formed the club after watching Louder Than a Bomb, a documentary on the largest youth poetry slam in Chicago. “After watching the documentary, I had to write a Haiku, but I didn’t want to write a Haiku, I wanted to write a slam,” said Grade 12 student Beth Shepherd. “It’s about showing the world what we can do, what we can give,” said Marenkov. Yet, there are critics. Many in the poetry world have

denounced spoken word and slams, saying they’re nothing more than nonsensical rants. English teacher Jen Wieler calls that ridiculous. Spoken word has roots that date back to the Black Arts movement and beat poetry of the ‘60s. “Figurative imagery is often the backbone of spoken word pieces,” said Wieler. “Because the audience doesn’t have the luxury of seeing the words on a page, there needs to be something that glues the piece together. Sound and rhythm are so crucial. There’s repetition, metaphors, a lot of internal rhyme. “The poems are pretty raw.” Just ask Erin Froese. The Grade 11 student volunteered for an impromptu performance of her poem Colourless. She stood at the head of the class, staring out, her eyes almost

blank, as she recited her words of teenaged loneliness. By the end, you don’t know whether to clap, cry, or give the girl a hug. That’s exactly the effect she was going for. “This is my way of expressing myself,” Froese said. The competition later this month will be a true test for the young poets who have yet to perform for anyone other than their classmates. Wieler hopes it will be a springboard for other students to express themselves in the same manner. “This is a genre that young people are jumping on,” said Wieler. “These slams are creating a buzz, they’re returning poetry to its oral roots – they’re making poetry sexy again.” Hullabaloo runs from April 24 to 26.

Undoubtedly, what you put into your body impacts how your body looks, functions, and how you feel. Whether your goal is to lose weight, improve your energy levels, or continue to live a healthy life, your diet matters. In recent years the word ‘diet’ has developed a bad rap. Call it an eating plan, nutrition program, lifestyle, or diet; I am referring to the food that you put into your mouth. There are plenty of diets to choose from: from Atkins to the Zone, vegan to paleo, low fat to high fat and everything in between. Proponents of each diet tout that their plan is better because of X, Y and Z, and each are backed up with plenty

Untreated hearing loss tied to lower earning potential Maximizing one’s ability to hear well should be part of any smart career strategy. Individual performance in an organization is found to be directly related to listening ability or perceived listening effectiveness. In fact, listening is one of the top skills employers seek in entry-level employees and in those being promoted. People who both hear and listen well are also more likely to establish positive working relationships with bosses, clients, and colleagues.

The ‘Red Cherry’ currant, the ‘Black Consort’ currant and from Finland, the ‘Hinnonmaecki’ gooseberry are all mildew resistant. ‘Black Consort’, by the way, has delightfully fragrant yellow flowers, making it a welcome addition to the landscape. Compared to other gooseberries, the ‘Hinnonmaecki’ is much less troublesome, and the berries are large. Blueberries are certainly my favourite small fruit for many reasons.

As the tax filing deadline approaches, the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) is reminding Chilliwack residents with low or modest incomes that volunteers are available to assist with the preparation of tax returns. Each year, through its Community Volunteer Income Tax Program,
the CRA links with community organizations to train volunteers to complete basic tax returns. The community organizations hold tax-preparation clinics where the volunteers donate their time to help people with simple tax filing situations complete their income tax and benefit returns, free of charge.

“We encourage people who need help with their tax returns to use the volunteer program,” says Zubie Vuurens, CRA’s Regional Community Volunteer Income Tax Program Coordinator. “The service is free and it’s important to file a tax return to make sure you receive all the government benefits and credits you’re entitled to.” Last year, in British Columbia and the Yukon, 2,513 volunteers helped prepare 99,067 income tax returns. Through the dedication of these volunteers, thousands of Canadians understood and met their tax obligations and continued to receive their tax credits and benefits on time. To determine if you are eligible call the CRA toll free at 1-800-9598281, or visit www.cra. gc.ca/volunteer. In the Chilliwack area, volunteers are available at Chilliwack Community Services at (604) 792-4267 and Chilliwack Resource Centre at (604) 7029595. Please call for an appointment.

The East Coast low bush varieties, like ‘Brunswick’, produce some of the sweetest berries you’ll find on very compact plants. ‘Chandler’ and ‘Darrow’ have enormous, delicious berries that are almost the size of the long gone Canadian 50¢ coin! The hot new trend today is to use blueberries anywhere in the landscape as great ornamentals. They have attractive flowers in spring, gorgeous fall colours and a nice twiggy look in winter. The new varieties ‘Sunshine Blue’ and ‘Legacy’ are evergreen in mild winters. Vine berries are ideal in today’s gardens, especially if you have an empty fence or bare wall. Thornless boysenberries, loganberries, blackberries and even
the huge new tayberries need just a little support and sunshine to give you an almost continuous supply of delicious berries. They can be kept quite confined in space, especially if you espalier them. Trained against a fence or wall, these vines look very attractive. Speaking of vines, grapes have really take off as a home garden favourite, especially with the many seedless varieties available, like ‘Canadice’, ‘Flame’ and ‘Sovereign Charter’. They can be trained along old fences or up over sundecks to double as valuable shade plants. The first ever purple-

The Fraser Valley Autism Society has launched its first iPad grant program. The program was created to provide support for individuals with autism who are struggling with the challenges around communication, organization and fine motor skills. With the increasing amount of apps now available that are specifically designed to address these needs, the Fraser Valley Autism Society decided that an iPad grant program was a good idea. The program is made possible through donations from the Abbotsford Heat Foundation, Milestone’s Restaurant (Langley), as well as private donors and other fund raising endeavours. For for detailed information on how to apply for this program go to www.fraservalleyautism. com/iPad_Grant_Program.html. The Fraser Valley Autism Society is a nonprofit, charitable, volunteer organization that was created to offer support and guidance to families. Founded in 1995 by families, for families, it has been a part of many initiatives to improve quality of life for people with Autism and the families who love them. For more information contact 604-490-3827.

Falcon star going to the land of dinosaurs
Eric J. Welsh, The Progress
Justine Chiba is a dinosaur. Not in the traditional sense of being old or outdated. She’s only 17, after all. Nor is she a broughtback-from-extinction T-Rex. You’d have heard about it before now if she was. Nope, the Sardis secondary school student isn’t lizard like in any way, other than her choice of post secondary schooling. Starting this fall, she’ll play soccer in Calgary, home of the University of Calgary Dinos. “I’ve been hearing a lot of Dinotown jokes lately,” she laughed. “A lot of people don’t like to the logo (see above), but I love it and I’m proud to be a Dino.” Chiba is the latest in a string of local athletes securing CIS scholarships. In recent weeks we’ve seen Jenika Bannerman (GW Graham) and Hayden Lejeune (Sardis) commit to the University of Victoria. GW Graham football star Jake Creasey is heading to the University of Manitoba, and track standout Jesse MacDuff is heading to Simon Fraser. One of Chiba’s soccer teammates signed on with the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades last week. McKenzie Hildebrand made that choice, and Chiba came oh so close to joining her. “But I knew I wanted to live away from home, live in dorms and have more independence,” she said. “If I
went to UFV I know I’d have stayed living at home and depending on my parents. I wanted to have more adventures.” It was fortunate circumstance, a twist of fate, that landed Chiba on the Dinos’ radar. When a Calgary-area youth soccer team heading into a tournament found themselves short of players due to injury, they looked to Chilliwack, of all places, for help. “They didn’t have enough players to play, and their technical director knew my coach in Chilliwack,” Chiba explained. “They talked and our coach asked some of us if we wanted to go help them out.” Chiba and a handful of Chilliwackians crossed the Rockies on the goodwill mission. Chiba’s impressive play caught the attention of the right person. “I didn’t know at the time, but the Calgary coach turned out to also be an assistant coach with the Dinos,” she elaborated. “Also, my coach in Chilliwack (Rob Giesbrecht) is good friends with the head coach in Calgary (Troye Flannery). Once I got back, he put in a good word for me. It just seemed like it was meant to be.” Chiba was invited back, this time for a campus tour. “I was there in the summer, when it was really warm, but I’ve been told to buy more jackets,” Chiba chuckled. On Wednesday afternoon, Chiba led her Sardis Falcons into battle against the Chilliwack secondary school Storm. She scored a goal in a 4-3 win, and showed why any CIS team should have been interested. “I’m an aggressive player getting the ball, I go in strong but legally, and once I have it I try to be strong and not get knocked off,” she said, delivered a selfscouting report. “And once I get the ball I try to calm it
down, see what my options are and make the best pass to keep the game moving.” Apparently she’s got a deft touch around the net too. Her goal against the Storm showed precision finish — a well placed shot from 15 yards out, slotted inches inside the left goal post. If there’s one downside to her game, it’s her stature. Standing five-foot-four at most, she’s one of the smaller players on the field. But it hasn’t hindered her yet. “I’m pretty small, I guess, but I don’t let anyone push me around,” she said. “I can jump pretty high and it won’t be an issue if I want the ball more than them.” Chiba’s seen some CIS games, taking in UFV and Trinity Western (Langley) matches. “Their players are amazing, strong and talented,” she said. “Growing up I’ve always wanted to be like that but never thought I could. Now, seeing I have the potential to be as good as them, it’s a really good, inspiring feeling.” Before she heads east, Chiba will lead her Falcons through one last season. She hopes it ends with a provincial berth. “We have a young team with a lot of Grade 10s, but they all play club soccer,” Chiba said. “We had 40 girls try out and a lot didn’t make it. So there’s a lot of talent, and our ultimate goal is provincials.” O The Falcons finished fifth at last week’s Best of the Best tournament in Chilliwack. Chiba had goals in four of five games as Sardis beat Valleyview (Kamloops), Powell River, Windsor (North Vancouver) and Langley. The Storm, meanwhile, finished seventh overall (2-3) with wins over Lake City (Williams Lake, 6-0) and Abbotsford Christian (4-1).
Sardis secondary school’s Justine Chiba has a good head for the game, and she’ll take her talents to Calgary next season as she joins the CIS Dinos. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Chilliwack Chief hopefuls hitting the ice at spring camp The Chilliwack Chiefs hope they’ll see the stars of tomorrow this weekend as the team hosts its annual spring camp at Prospera Centre. Past camps have provided a first look at players who went on to
significant roles with the Chiefs, including 2012-13 scoring star Luke Esposito. Approximately 100 players, making up six teams, will each play four games beginning Friday afternoon.
Fans are welcome to attend. Friday’s schedule includes scrimmages at 3, 4:40 and 6:30 p.m. each lasting about an hour and a half. Saturday’s schedule includes scrimmages at 8, 9:40 and 11:30
a.m. A goaltending session runs from 1:30 to 2:30 p.m. followed by three more scrimmages at 4, 5:40 and 7:30 p.m. Sunday’s schedule includes scrimmages at 8, 9:25 and 11 a.m.
New head coach/general manager Jason Tatarnic will be evaluating, and hoping to get a few commitments, as he reloads the roster heading into the team’s 25th anniversary season. See chilliwackchiefs.net

Nine BCHLers on NHL radar Nine BCHL players are on the National Hockey League radar, identified in the final rankings of draft-eligible prospects. The NHL’s Central Scouting Bureau released its last list Tuesday, with West Kelowna Warrior Jason Cotton leading the BCHL contingent. The six-foot-two and 180 pound Texas native sniped 23 goals and 59 points in 50 games this season and checks in at No. 162 among North American prospects. As a rough guide, the North American list would be combined with the Euro list, leaving Cotton and the rest of the BCHL prospects in the no-sure-bet-to-bedrafted category. Vernon Vipers blueliner Dylan Chanter is next at No. 164, despite
a stunted regular season that saw him play just 19 games. He had zero points, but has picked it up in the playoffs, netting three goals and six points in 15 games. Other BCHL skaters drawing notice include Salmon Arm’s Evan Anderson (No. 179), Penticton’s Jack Ramsey (No. 181), Merritt’s Jeff Wight (No. 189), Penticton’s Brett Beauvais (No. 190) and Powell River’s Luke Ripley (listed but unranked). No junior A league had more players ranked than the BCHL. The top ranked junior A skater in the country plays in the Ontario Junior Hockey League. Defenceman Jake Walman plays for the Toronto Jr. Canadiens, and had seven goals and
