Teacher demands called ‘too high’ for mediation

■ S TRATEGIC E NGAGEMENT A GREEMENT

Two sides still far apart

Tom Fletcher Black Press The latest offer by the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to settle its strike has moved the union farther from the “zone of settlement” established by other public sector unions, Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Thursday. With a strike underway that could run until the end of the school year, Fassbender said neither mediation nor a legislated settlement is being considered. Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, said the latest union proposal would bring the compensation increase for teachers from 12.5% over five It’s years to 14.5%. unaffordable On wages and benefits alone, for taxpayers Cameron said that is more ~ Peter than twice the increase other Fassbender unions, including school suppor t staf f employees, have accepted. The BCTF added to its proposal of an 8% wage increase over five years this week with a proposed $225 million fund paid out over five years to settle thousands of grievances filed over the past decade. Those grievances sought to return class size caps and specialist teacher levels that were removed from the contract by legislation, and were ordered restored by a B.C. Supreme Court decision that is now under appeal. The union wants a second $225 million annual fund to fund ongoing class size and special needs support. “It is well into the $2 billion range,” Fassbender said of the union proposal. “It’s unaffordable for taxpayers.” BCTF president Jim Iker said the union’s

The three-year agreement with 14 Sto:lo First Nations builds on a 24-month pilot in which the First Nations and the province worked together to implement a framework to improve consultation and engagement on land and resource matters. The B.C. government is providing a total of $2.1 million over the life of the agreement, which encompasses Sto:lo territory. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Pickets keep two trustees from meeting Katie Bartel The Progress Two Chilliwack school trustees showed their political stripes Tuesday night. Trustees Dan Coulter and Barry Neufeld refused to cross the picket line at the school board office Tuesday evening, even though it meant not participating in the scheduled public board meeting. “In the election, I said I wouldn’t cross picket lines,” said Coulter. Not surprising. Coulter, a former welder and millwright, before being

paralyzed in a workplace accident, was president of the Chilliwack-Hope BC NDP constituency association before winning last fall’s school trustee byelection. Instead of sitting around the board table, Coulter and Neufeld spent the duration of the meeting talking with picketing teachers and sitting in Coulter’s truck. Not crossing the line was “out of respect for collective bargaining and unions and what they do and represent,” said Coulter. “I think it’s important because locally it’s different

Locally, when it’s all over, we all live in the same community and we see each others faces, and we’ve got to go back to a positive working relationship when this is all over.” The majority of his colleagues, however, disagreed. Trustees Doug Mckay, Heather Maahs, Walt Krahn, Martha Wiens and Silvia Dyck crossed the picket line and participated in the meeting. For board chair Walt Krahn, passing agenda items trumped taking a stand.

“The important business of the day needed to carry on,” said Krahn. Of the agenda items, the board approved the budget and achievement contract, both of which were required to be submitted to the Ministry of Education by the end of June. “I certainly respect the process of negotiations, I fully understand the issues of funding, but in our case, we needed to carry on,” said Krahn. “Our entire community, including members of the community, students and teachers, need to have a budget in place for Continued: TRUSTEES/ p4

Rejected Chilliwack milk will head across the border Milk from Chilliwack dairy will be trucked to U.S. plant to be recycled into energy Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The latest wrinkle in the cow abuse scandal that has rocked the farming community of Chilliwack is what is being done with the rejected milk from the Chilliwack Cattle Sales farm. Since learning processor Saputo cut off milk shipments from CCS in the wake of video abuse evidence, people from all over the country have been expressing outrage about the waste of perfectly good milk. The cows still have to be milked, so tens of thousands of litres a day from the largest dairy in Canada

owned by the Kooyman family will be heading to a food waste plant just across the border, The Progress has learned. The milk will be picked up from the farm and trucked to FPE Renewables, a food waste recycling facility located in Lynden, Washington State, confirmed BC Milk Marketing Board rep Lynne Crites. From there it will be unloaded into a pit, and put through an anaerobic digestion system. Anaerobic digestion is a process where plant and animal matter gets broken down and converted into methane gas, and transformed into renewable energy.

First the outraged citizens called for a boycott of dairy giant Saputo, and then when the Montreal company stopped accepting the milk, some grew angry about the wasted milk. Chelsey Schwaerzle, the daughter of a dairy farming family from Agassiz, and a lawyer, had a pointed message for anyone advocating the boycott of dairy products. Schwaerzle grew up on a dairy farm and can attest to the strong work ethic, standards and care. “I would go so far as to say that no one is going to be more appalled by the mistreatment of animals than those who make their living caring for them.” She called the boycott “misguided.” “Dear Everyone: You tied our

hands then got mad when we couldn’t lend you one. “The call for a boycott succeeded,” she underlined. “You scared the largest processor in the country so they refused to buy the milk. And now you are mad about the waste. You cannot blame the farmers or the board for the results of your success.” The marketing board, as the dairy regulator, is not getting paid for the product and the milk is not getting used as food, she pointed out. “If you felt like you had to push for something, a simple fine could also have resulted in financial consequences. Then the milk would not be wasted and the money from the fine could have been put towards the same worthy causes

Top marks for Sardis secondary athlete Katie Bartel The Progress Samir Rehmtulla goes against the old stereotype that jocks are dumb. The Grade 10 Sardis secondary student was awarded an exemplary scholar award for being the top Grade 10 student at Sardis with a 4.0 grade point average for the year – in courses that included science 10 honours, math 10 honours, pre-calculus 11, computer programming and French immersion. And this after coming off a successful, sweat-filled weekend at the provincial high school track and field championships where he finished within his personal best times for the 800-metre and 3,000-metre distances (2:11:85 and 9:57:40 respectively). How does he manage it all? “Sometimes I wonder about that myself,” the soft-spoken teen smiles. “There’s not a ton of free time … being organized helps a lot.” A typical week day for Rehmtulla includes school, followed by either track or soccer practice until 4:30, and then six to seven hours of studying in the evening. “I work in 45-minute chunks,” he says. In between each session, Rehmtulla takes 10-minute breaks where squeezes in a quick run or piano playing to “relax” his brain. His competitive nature is what largely propels him forward. Rehmtulla has been playing an assortment of sports since elementary school. He’s dabbled in basketball, volleyball, tennis, and has played both recreational and rep soccer, as well as track and field. Next year, he plans to focus

you were trying to advance.” She took Saputo to task for its blatant PR move to refuse to accept CCS milk, and for perpetuating the myth that farmers are the enemy. “I understand that Saputo is a corporation and that they place their business interest and profits first and foremost. But they seem to be (purposefully or inadvertently) distancing themselves from the farmers as damage control in response to the boycotting efforts.” Saputo has stated in a release that they are not dairy farmers, nor do they own dairy farms. “And they reassure the public that animal mistreatment offends their values, just as it does their customers.

solely on track. “I like the intensity of it,” he says. “With some sports, you don’t have complete control, but in running, everything comes down to every step you take, every little step counts – it’s all up to you.” His competitive flare is not limited to the sports field. Academically, Rehmtulla came in third and fourth place for the Chilliwack spelling bee competitions in grades 5 and 8 respectively, and qualified for the Vancouver Sun Regional Spelling Bee in Grade 8 where he placed eighth overall. This year, he was part of the Sardis secondary math team to

place first in the Fraser Valley for the internationally renowned University of Waterloo Cayley Contest. In that, Rehmtulla had the top score for the entire Fraser Valley zone. “I always want to finish as high as I can,” he says. In total, Rehmtulla averaged 99 per cent for the school year. It doesn’t come easy. Somedays Rehmtulla would prefer to stay in bed over school. He doesn’t enjoy exams, nerves often overwhelm his stomach, but he pushes all that aside, focusing only on his future goals. He wants to attend post-secondary. He wants to be a better runner. He wants to be on a uni-

versity running team. So, he attends classes, he studies for hours on end, opting against TV time and often social gatherings with friends. On the track, he pushes his body to the extreme, using every ounce of gas in him for those 10 minutes or less to ensure he finishes knowing he gave it his all. “I know I want to go to university, and to do that, I’ve got to work hard for it, I’ve got to do well,” he says. “Sometimes it’s not enjoyable. Sometimes it is.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Chilliwack councillor Jason Lum sees the benefits of backyard chickens for Chilliwack. They might even outweigh the risks, he suggested. But he was alone and outvoted on this one. The rest of council voted on Tuesday to maintain the status quo, which means no backyard chickens in Chilliwack’s residential areas. City officials said they’ve fielded a series of requests over the years from residents who would like to have backyard chickens in residential areas, including a presentation to a city committee by resident Nicholette Devenney. Chickens are only permitted in the backyard on agricultural land at the moment. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said she understood those who wish to add a few hens, especially those already growing their own food, or foodies, for example. But she reminded everyone of the avian influenza outbreaks of 2004 and 2009, which had a devastating impact on Chilliwack, and led to mass culling of infected flocks. There were 80 farms quarantined during the last avian flu outbreak. Coun. Ken Huttema warned that allowing backyard poultry in Chilliwack would be “putting the bigger industry at risk.” Avian flu is “something that scares everybody” but on a daily basis the risks of salmonella and e-coli also come into play.

The community won’t be locked out of schools during strike action after all. After initially putting out a statement that facility rentals would be closed during the teacher strike, the school district has had a change of heart. Chilliwack school board passed a motion at Tuesday’s board meeting to reinstate facility rentals during strike action. “Providing the oppor-

tunity to our partners to resume with their regular rentals and program plans on evenings and weekends is important so that our community can continue to benefit from these programs,” said board chair Walt Krahn in a media release. The motion states that “the Board of Education provides the choice for all other regular facility rentals to be able to continue

to run programs during Teacher Strike Action, evenings and on weekends.” Last week, the school district posted a letter to parents on its website indicating that while daycares and preschools would have the option of staying open during strike action, facility rentals would not. Chilliwack school district makes about $360,000 a year on its facility rentals.

BCTF calls for mediation BCTF from Front proposal is fair in light of the latest court decision. “Evidence from the government’s own officials presented in B.C. Supreme Court shows the government has stripped $275 million per year from B.C.’s public education system,” Iker said. Fassbender said that misrepresents the situation, because the government has put an extra $1 billion a year into the education system since taking class size and compensation out of the teacher contract. It has been spent in different ways, such as learning assistants who are not teachers, full-day kindergarten and a $75 million annual “learning improvement fund” to address class size and special needs support, Fassbender said.

City posts its position on proposed riverside recycling plant Online petition against the proposed facility tops 16,700 Jennifer Feinberg The Progress City of Chilliwack is not allowing mercury to be dumped into the Fraser River. That’s just one bit of misinformation swirling about the proposed Aevitas waste recycling plant. Chilliwack officials are now actively trying to clear up other misconceptions with some clarifications about the rezoning, and the approval of the controversial location by the river. A lawsuit — claiming the city failed to properly notify the public prior to the rezoning hearing — was filed this spring by Chilliwack resident Glen Thompson and the B.C. Outdoor Recreation Council. City officials have declined to comment on the substance of the lawsuit until it is heard in court. “Of course, we look forward to the day when the BC Supreme Court hears the petition and deals with the matter on the merits of the case and not on misinformation,” reads a tersely worded joint statement from Chilliwack council at chilliwack.com. “First of all, we would like you to know that all of us on City Council take our responsibilities very seriously and that we care deeply about our rivers and environment.” When it is built, the Aevitas facility will safely and effectively take mercury from CFL bulbs out of the environment — not allow it to be spilled or dumped into the river. Not everyone is convinced. Chilliwack resident Sabrina Gidon spearheaded an online petition at change.org asking council to “change its decision” to allow Aevitas

to build the plant by the river. The petition has “exceeded” all her expectations, attracting more than 16,700 signatures at press time. The numbers have grown quickly since it was launched on June 2. Gidon told The Progress she never launched a battle like this before but felt compelled to act. “I started the petition after doing a bit of research on my own,” she said. “In my opinion, things weren’t done correctly with the rezoning notice. I just felt there was something wrong there.” The rezoning to allow the Aevitas plant to be built in the Cattermole lands on Cannor Road was a unanimous decision by council. But instead of revealing that the site was going to be used for the treatment of hazardous waste, the city’s hearing notice stated it was going “to facilitate the construction of a waste recycling and transfer facility.” “For all you could tell by that description,” Gidon argues in the petition explanation, “the plant was going to handle garden waste and old bottles – not mercury and toxic sludge. “And the location map failed to show one important element – namely that the Fraser River is just 150 metres away.” That is one of Gidon’s primary concerns, as well as those pursuing the court case against it. “Building a facility like this so close to something as precious as the river, there is no way you can guarantee against any spills or toxic sludge or mercury getting into it,” she said. “I couldn’t sit idly by and allow it.” Gidon admitted she didn’t envision anyone dumping mercury into

drugs and batteries out of the garbage,” according to the city statement. “We also know that CFL bulbs must be recycled and we’re proud to be taking the right steps to help make recycling more viable.” The company should be recognized for its core orientation to protect the environment. “Early on we had to establish that Aevitas shares our commitment to the environment and provides environmentally responsible disposal solutions for many items we use on a daily basis,” the city’s release states. CFL bulbs contain a small amount of mercury

stressed city officials. Fact is almost no spot in Chilliwack is completely insulated from the river. Due to some of the existing misinformation being circulated online, people may be led to believe that Chilliwack is ok with dumping mercury or other toxic materials into the Fraser River. “Nothing could be further from the truth” reads the city’s fact sheet. “In reality, we’re helping take mercury out of the waste stream through increased recycling opportunities.” The updated fact sheet is at: chilliwack.com/ aevitas

and can’t just be tossed in the garbage. “Fortunately, Aevitas gives us an environmentally friendly option for disposal of these materials.” The idea is to safely remove the mercury after the glass has been broken under negative pressure. Over and over the critics have stated they aren’t opposed to the work Aevitas does, but rather to the location of the proposed facility — within sight of the river at a distance of about 150 metres. “This is a very serious point that we took under careful consideration,”

Opponents gear up to battle northern oil pipeline From Kitimat to Victoria, opponents are preparing to fight the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal, after it was given federal approval Tuesday. A group of B.C. aboriginal communities issued a statement Tuesday vowing to go to court to protect their aboriginal title and rights on the land affected by the twin pipeline and tanker port for diluted bitumen on Douglas Channel. Aboriginal opponents in the North Coast region include the Haida, Gitgaat, Heiltsuk and Haisla First Nations, as well as communities in the B.C. Interior. Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross, whose community is at the end of Douglas Channel and who is involved in a natural gas

export project, said it is too late for more consultations. “Every mistake they’ve made we actually pointed out to them and said ‘this is not following our case law principles, you’re making a mistake’,” Ross said Tuesday. “But they went ahead and did it. It is going to be court.” Northern Gateway project leader Janet Holder said she will continue to work to build on the 26 equity agreements the company has reached with aboriginal communities along the proposed pipeline route. Kitimat Mayor Joanne Monaghan said her council has made its opposition clear, after an April community vote that came down opposed to the project. “I think most of the councillors are of the opinion that they really don’t want to see bitumen going

down the channel,” Monaghan said. “They would rather have it refined and have a product that’s refined going down the channel.” B.C. NDP leader John Horgan said he wants resource development that creates jobs in B.C., particularly for aboriginal communities. Horgan said the B.C. Liberal government gave up its opportunity to oppose Northern Gateway. B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak rejected that claim, saying the province gave a clear “no” in its final submission to the federal review panel. Discussions with Alberta, Enbridge and oil producers continue to see if B.C.’s conditions for land and ocean protection as well as a “fair share” of benefits for B.C. can be met, Polak said. – With files from Kitimat Northern Sentinel

Support for dairy

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

The price being paid for the cruelty exhibited in a video released to the media last week keeps climbing. It has already rightly cost the jobs of those who allegedly beat dairy cattle at Chilliwack Cattle Sales, and criminal charges are under review. But the tally hasn’t stopped there. The reputation of an entire industry, and the thousands of people who work in it, is now being so sullied it is breath-taking. The anger, hatred and derision displayed in online comments and in social media borders on hysterical. An online petition spurred dairy behemoth Saputo to force the BC Milk Marketing Board to backtrack on its earlier decision to rescind a suspension of milk collection from the farm. Now, every day thousands of litres of milk is being transported to the United States for destruction. But that penalty isn’t high enough for the online lynch mob. It’s already convicted the eight dairy workers of animal cruelty, as well as the people they worked for. Now it’s branded every dairy farmer in the country as a vicious sadist whose gleeful pursuit of profit comes at the cost of the animals in his or her care. To be clear, the behaviour portrayed in that video is abhorrent. But so are the actions of those trying to destroy the lives and livelihoods of so many. Agriculture is a critical part of Chilliwack’s economy, generating more than $700 million annually in economic activity. More than half of that can be attributed to dairy farms. Not only do dairy farmers help feed a hungry world, they create jobs, fuel associated businesses, and insulate us against the vagaries of a fluctuating global economy. None of this is an excuse for abuse. But to say that all must pay for the actions of a few is such a contortion of decency and justice it defies belief. Dairy farmers deserve our support. Not only because they need it right now, but because they’ve earned it. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Stronger rules needed for standards of care for animals The appalling abuse of dairy cattle by a few employees at Chilliwack Cattle Sales has rightly generated a storm of backlash against not only the dairy farm but the processing company Saputo which receives milk produced by Canada’s largest dairy farm. The abuse surfaced last week when a video taken by a representative of Mercy for Animals Canada working undercover at the farm showed horrendous abuse and cruelty. Cows were documented with open wounds, being beaten with chains and rakes, their udders punched and being mechanically hoisted by their necks. The video sent shockwaves and disgust through the dairy farm industry. Within days of the video’s release, Mercy for Animals put up a petition on www.change.org calling for the milk processing company Montreal-based Saputo, which produces Dairyland products, to take action. Already nearly 100,000

people have signed that petition. Saputo has jumped ahead of that curve, stating that it would no longer receive milk from the farm. Saputo does not own dairy farms but processes the milk pooled by the BC Milk Marketing Board which stated in an Industr y Notice last Tuesday that any milk from Chilliwack Cattle Margaret Sales will be EVANS destroyed. Stakeholders in the dairy industry have been sent scrambling, distancing themselves from the awful images. And it is fair comment that this act of cruelty is an anomaly among Canada’s dairy farmers. The BC SPCA has already recommended charges of animal cruelty against the eight employees identified in the video.

“The images in the undercover video are extremely disturbing and highlight an urgent need for better standards to protect farm animals in B.C. from abuse and neglect,” said Marcie Moriarty, BC SPCA chief prevention and enforcement officer. In 2009, the Canadian Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Dairy Cattle was published but it has yet to be adopted into B.C. law. The BC SPCA recommends that the Canadian Codes of Practice, which set out minimum standards of care for farm animal species, be incorporated into the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act so that standards can be enforced. The history behind the Codes of Practice began in 1980 when the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies coordinated the process of developing standards. It was taken up by the Canadian AgriFood Research Council from 19932003. In 2005 the National Farm

Progress

Animal Care Council was launched which continued consultations leading to an updated Code development process finalized in 2009 for dairy cows. The Code sets standards for housing, feed, health and welfare, husbandry practices, transportation and humane euthanasia. It addresses animal needs such as companionship, shelter, freedom of movement, calf management, veterinary care, disease control and prevention, and emergency preparedness. Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island have all adopted the Codes into their provincial legislation. The BC SPCA is committed to working with the B.C. government, the BC Dairy Association and other industry organizations to ensure the safe, humane treatment of farm animals while supporting the viability of B.C. pro-

ducers. Humane treatment of farm animals resonates very strongly with the public. “The provincial government has been hesitant to regulate the farm industry,” she said. “But once this video came out we have been having favourable discussions about it and it has become a priority for them. It is important that producers have clear expectations around standards of care for farm animals and that there is a system in place to monitor and enforce these standards.” On their website, Saputo supported the recommendation of the BC SPCA that the Code of Practice for dairy cattle be adopted into B.C. law and urged the BC Milk Marketing Board and other BC authorities to get behind the recommendation. It’s long overdue.

The Chilliwack

Teachers might look for greener pastures I’m new to Chilliwack, but I hear the newspapers here hate teachers. I imagine that you think we’re a bunch of overpaid, under-worked whiners. I imagine that you would tell us that we should all be fired, or that if we don’t like our jobs or our pay, we should quit and find a different job. I am very good at what I do. I am intelligent, articulate, and disciplined. I work hard every day to inspire and educate kids. I also teach in a very practical field, with job opportunities abundantly available outside of education. I love teaching, but when my employer does things like cut my wages by 10%, and restrict my ability to do

the job they still expect me to do, I feel they’re saying “we don’t want you here. If you can be somewhere else, you should.” Sadly, that’s exactly what they’re saying. This government, the one that the people of this province foolishly elected, is determined to eliminate public education. This government, sponsored and controlled by the owners corporations such as yourself, want obedient workers. Obedient workers. You want to, and have worked towards it for the last 30 years, eliminate the middle class and concentrate wealth among the owners of said corporations. You aim to remove all agency from those beneath you.

If I leave teaching, Chilliwack, the kids, and the schooling industry will lose yet another passionate, competent, caring educator. If you insist that we leave, indeed we will; the ones who most have something to offer will do so, and those that are left will exist only to further justify your demand for suppressed wages and poorer working and learning conditions. At this point I’m at an impasse. I could stay, because I care and your plans disgust me – but you’ll use that against me too. Or I could leave, which I’m inclined to do, because if that’s what the people of BC want, as foolish as I think they are, who am I to question it?

Teachers won’t abandon fight over class size, composition The B.C. Liberals keep suggesting that a settlement with the teachers is possible, but that the government’s last offer is “about as good as it’s going to get.” In other words, despite there being no significant concessions on the government’s part, as long as teachers completely capitulate, a deal can be reached. How very generous of them. This attitude all but guarantees a long and protracted strike. On issues of salary a deal may be possible. The two sides are close, but only because teachers have moved so significantly on this issue. Yet on class size and class composition, the distance between is vast, and the

B.C. Liberals have not budged an inch. The government’s position is simply unacceptable to the vast majority of teachers. The government maintains that it is totally appropriate to have a Grade 4 class with 30 students or more, that there should be no language on class composition or specialist teacher staffing ratios, and that expecting school districts to actually provide special support to students with special needs would somehow violate the rights of those students. The BCTF wants a restoration of the class size and composition language that was illegally struck in 2002, and the B.C. Supreme Court has

ordered that this language be restored, yet the employer insists they can’t afford to, repeating the claim that to restore this struck language would cost “in the order of $2 billion annually.” $2 billion annually would be sufficient to hire over 22,000 teachers, yet stripping our contract did not result in the firing of 22,000 teachers (or anywhere close to that number). It would probably involve hiring an additional 2,000 teachers, at a cost of less than $190 million annually. It would increase the cost of funding public education by a mere 4% per year – and teachers have already paid for that increased funding. In 1998 teachers

gave up salary so to gain that language on class size and composition, and the salary we gave up in that round of bargaining has never been restored to us. For decades teachers have fought for the rights of our students to receive the supports they require. We have bargained for those rights, sacrificed salary for those rights, fought in the courts for twelve years (and counting) for those rights. Does anyone really expect that we would suddenly abandon that battle? Besides the government, does anyone really want us to? Rob Bogunovic

B.C. can do better educating its students I want more. My goal for each student is all of my classes is that they be successful and demonstrate their learning. To help achieve this I have a “no zero” policy. It means I expect every student to complete every assignment and project, no matter how small. It isn’t easy and I’m not always successful with every student, but I want to tell you about one. He was a challenging student in a Grade 7 sewing class of 30 – off task behaviour, distracting, disengaged. Grade 7 sewing is chaotic – kids all over the place, everyone wants help at the same time, jammed sewing machines, and a list of 15 who are waiting on the

board . . . Somehow, and with the help of an education assistant who was in the class for 2 or 3 other students, we got this student to complete the small amount of “book” work I require, and the first small sewing projects. I remember the day he looked at his mark for what he had done so far and realized he could get an “A”. Something happened for him, and the problem became trying to get him to put his name on the board and wait for help, instead of trying to “budge the line”. I think he was the first one to complete the major project, and he earned his “A”. This is what I want for every student I teach. Learning, achieve-

ment, success. I want them to leave my class feeling like they “can” and I hope they can take a little of that feeling into everything they choose to do in life. I think I’m pretty good at my job, even with the big classes and high numbers of students who need extra help. But I can do better. I can do better with smaller classes. I can do better with fewer students who need extra support. I can do better with a budget that meets the needs for equipment and supplies. BC can do better. Fund education the way it should be. Invest in kids. Invest in our future. I want more.

It’s hard moving to a new country. Over the years, CCS has helped to create a welcoming community with great success. Hundreds of immigrants have passed through the doors of Chilliwack Community Services over the past 25 years. Meet Olga from Ukraine, Yara from Syria, Jin from China, Chris from South Korea, Fico from Cuba, and Ivanka from Peru. In their stories of settling in Chilliwack, you are likely to hear how CCS played a part in their journey. From English classes to helping with forms, from getting children into school to learning how to navigate the community, staff and volunteers have walked alongside them. CCS knows that learning language and culture, as well as connecting with services, are the key to building a welcoming community. The success of these programs can be measured in many ways: in the smiles of immigrants as they speak with neighbours, share their news of that first job, or prepare for their citizenship ceremony. By sharing their stories, they have the opportunity to help others and recommend ways to help make their transition easier. Looking ahead, CCS is excited to continue to play a role in making a positive change in the lives of newcomers and building a welcoming community in Chilliwack.

above and beyond Lucy Arruda has always pushed herself beyond all limits. This is something that was instilled in her by her mother. “My mom gave me the will to plan and to always push myself to do better. Complacency wasn’t an option. The status quo wasn’t an option. Mom used to always tell me that if I wasn’t doing my best, I wasn’t doing good enough,” she said. Her parents were Ana determined, hardworking Portuguese MACEDO immigrants who came to Canada from the island of Sao Miguel, an island paradise in the Azorean archipelago that is located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. Her father landed in Halifax harbour on April 29, 1954 and from there, made his way to Kitimat to work at Alcan. Five years later, he returned to Sao Miguel and after he was married, came back to Canada. This time, the couple settled in Toronto where her father took on a job with Ontario Hydro. Of the five children in the family, Lucy is the youngest. “I came home from the hospital on my brother’s birthday. My brother had wanted a boy but here I was. I always hung out with him and we enjoyed going to Blue Jays games together. I actually became somewhat of a tomboy. I played all kinds of sports but softball was my first love,” she smiled. Although her family had a strong work-ethic, this drive didn’t preclude the family from enjoying frequent social gatherings. Family time was treasured. In the Arruda household, education was also of paramount importance. “As immigrants, my parents wanted their children to have the best possible education so that we could succeed. Dad wanted to buy a 50 acre ranch but mom refused to move to the country so that we could get our education,” she said. After graduating from St. Joseph’s College, Lucy went on to the University of Toronto where she received a Bachelor of Commerce degree.

Unfortunately, her father developed diabetes. “Actually, by the time that he was diagnosed he was already so sick. He really wanted to work but couldn’t do what he was doing before so he went back to work as a custodian. Then there were complications and eventually he had to go on dialysis. Then he had a stroke and eventually, he was taken off of life support. It was so sad. Dad was a wonderful man. He was rather quiet and reflective but so incredibly loving. He was always helping others,” she said proudly. Her father’s death in 1993 caused her to reflect on her own life. “I married quite young and after my dad died I began to realize that I wasn’t happy at all and the year after my father’s passing, I divorced. The company that I was working for at the time was consolidating and this gave me the opportunity to head west,” she said. Lucy had continued to play organized ladies fast pitch and since you could only play at that level in either Vancouver or Chilliwack, she had a choice to make. “Since I had friends who had come out to Chilliwack to build the Falls, coupled with the fact that I didn’t want to live in the city, I chose to make Chilliwack my new home. I moved out here in September 1995,” she explained. When she moved out to Chilliwack, Lucy worked for Terry Mitchell CGA but since her daughter was only three, she decided to work from home. “When I was ready to work outside of the home again, I went to work for Stan Rogers. Then after four years, I had the opportunity of working for Stream as their Site Finance Manager and I did that for three years. The next three years with Stream I was their Regional Senior Finance Manager for the Americas. This meant that I worked with 16 sites in total in Canada, the US, the Caribbean and Latin America.” It was a demanding job and she was constantly on conference calls. “I would start my day at 6:30 in the morning and I’d work until 7:00 in the evening. I began to realize that what I wanted was to get back Continued: MACEDO/ p15

Neighbours MACEDO from page 14 to working with people again. I had done by CMA (Certified Management Accountant) in Ontario and in 2009 decided to get into the planning side of things as I was finding accounting just a bit dry,” she smiled. By 2010, she had her CFP (Certified Financial Planner) designation and opened up her own practice. She now works under the Investor’s Group umbrella. “I absolutely love what I do,” she admitted. She also believes in giving back to her community, a quality that her parents instilled in her from the time that she was a very young girl. Life is about balance, though, so Lucy always tries to make time for her friends and family and to enjoy one the things that she loves most. “I have always loved the outdoors. I like to hike, kayak and travel. It’s great to explore different places,” she enthused.

Brock Rayworth of the Chilliwack Property Crime Section. “Property crime is an enormous priority to us right now and these arrests are significant.” Twenty-four year old Chilliwack native Lough Plumridge has been charged with theft of a motor vehicle. Thirty-five year old Chilliwack native David McKay has been charged with possession of break-in tools and possession of stolen property. Both men are known to police. Police received a second bait car activation that same evening and are investigating.

Fritz the police dog helped take down a car thief last Friday morning. Two suspects picked the wrong car to steal when they took off in one of the Integrated Municipal Auto Crime Team’s (IMPACT) bait cars. The vehicle was moving north on Old Dyke Road when the car was deactivated. The two suspects got out, and while one submitted peacefully to officers the other took off into the nearby forest. Fritz tracked the suspect down and got kicked as he ‘made the arrest.’ But according to RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck he gave as good as he got. “The suspect suffered a minor injury as a result of Fritz’s assistance,” she noted. The Chilliwack RCMP works extensively with IMPACT, which

School zone speed limits don’t apply on strike days, say RCMP Jessica Peters Black Press School zones do not apply during strike days, the RCMP have confirmed. The question popped up on social media on Friday, a strike day in that school district. UFVRD’s media liaison Const. Tracy

Wolbeck confirmed that public school zones that normally require drivers to slow down to 30 km/hr or less on school days only apply on regular school days. Strike days do not fall under that category. “It’s a really good question,” she said, and she had confirmed her answer with the Fraser

Valley traffic services department. But she warned that drivers be aware of whether they’re driving in a public school zone or a private school zone. Private schools that are still in session are not in the midst of a strike, so those areas would still be considered school zones, she warned.

Combining delicious homemade treats and a worthy cause, this year’s 4th Annual Pie Day is already generating buzz in the community and the public is invited to join in on the mouth-watering goodness. Travelers and locals alike have enjoyed the traditional menu and affordable prices at the Airport Coffee Shop for decades. On June 24, their pies just may be a little less of a “guilty” pleasure, as 100 per cent of all pie sales will be donated directly to the Terry Fox Foundation. The Terry Fox Foundation differs from other charities in that 84 cents of every dollar raised is donated directly to cancer research. This initiative has a particularly special place in the hearts of organizers, as it is conducted in memory of Terry’s mother, Betty Fox, who passed away in June 2011. The coffee shop owners, The Good sisters, have been involved with the Terry Fox Foundation for years and have shown that every community no matter how big or how small can make a huge impact, just as Terry learned when a small town of 10,000 people raised over $10,000. Thanks to Judi, Tracey and Jacqueline, and their staff, there has been an overwhelming response from the community of Chilliwack and beyond. Last year’s event generated over $5,400 with a total of 336 slices and 216 whole pies sold, all in Betty’s name. There are over 30 types of pie to choose from with a variety of options for purchase: whether a slice or a whole pie, to eat on the spot or order for future pickup at any other point during the year. Check out their menu online, or visit in person at 46244 Airport Road. “If you’ve given a dollar, you are part of the Marathon of Hope.” The Fox family has demonstrated that every contribution matters, organizers say. “Help us continue Terry and Betty’s legacy… all while satisfying your sweet tooth.”

Progress Katie

Bartel 604.702.5575 • kbartel@theprogress.com

Saying goodbye to Guitar Gil Katie Bartel The Progress Walking into Gil Knutson’s office, it was hard not to get bowled over by a wave of nostalgia. Vintage one-piece desks, script letters, an old-school record player, even a CPR map dating back to the 1940s. But it was the tattered yellow DuoTang sitting on his desk, jammed with a thick wad of papers, that most caught the eye. Bursting with history, sheet music ranging from the 1500s, yes, the 1500s, right up to 2010. It’s that Duo-Tang that will surely be Mr. Knutson’s legacy in the Chilliwack school district. For more than 39 years, Mr. Knutson has taught Grade 5 in Chilliwack; the only school district he has ever worked for. Last week, with his Sardis elementary classroom still chock full

of his teaching history, he was readying to say goodbye. Mr. Knutson is retiring. While his academic lessons may be forgotten, his passion for music won’t be. From the moment Mr. Knutson walked into his first class at East Chilliwack elementary in 1976, he had his guitar with him. Singing “old fart” songs, he’s introduced his younglings to Beatles classics, Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Christmas tunes, foot-tapping railroad ditties, country ballads, rock anthems, and more. “I do the shotgun approach,” said Mr. Knutson, who refers to most songs by their numbered pages in the DuoTang. “As a teacher, you’ve got to do many, many, many different ones in the hope you’ll turn them onto something.”

Consistent favourites include Yellow Submarine, Fishn’ in the Dark, Drill Ye Tarriers Drill, and one out of left field, the Star Spangled Banner. “The boys love doing that one,” said Mr. Knutson. “It’s a wonderful song, but at the same time, it’s so bloody hard to sing because of the range. I pretty much bulldoze my way through it.” Not to be left out though, Oh Canada, has also had plenty of play in Mr. Knutson’s room. “Most people don’t know that Oh Canada has four verses,” he smirks. “But my kids know all four.” Mr. Knutson fell in love with the guitar in his early 20s. He’d been waiting tables at the Lonely Guitar, a former coffee shop located in Popkum, when he heard the resident musician strumming to House of the Rising Sun. “I was blown away,” he said.

Gil Knutson has been a Grade 5 teacher in the Chilliwack school district for his entire 39-year career. It’s likely his guitar and songbook (second from top) that’s bursting with more than 200 songs, some from as far back as the 1500s, will be his legacy in the school district. Knutson is retiring this year.

YOUR BEST SHOT

GUITAR from page 21 When the coffee shop owner caught wind of Mr. Knutson’s interest, he told him he’d be on stage the following month. “I was scared spitless,” said Mr. Knutson. “I didn’t even know how to hold a guitar, let alone play one.” But that month, he relentlessly practised, he learned how to hold the guitar, learned the different notes and chords and finger-plucking techniques. And every weekend, for 25 years, following that first night on stage, Mr. Knutson played. It was that work ethic he’s tried to instill in his students over the years. For nearly the entire duration of his career, Mr. Knutson has offered free guitar lessons before and after school to interested students. He recalled one student, a girl named Erin, who for the first year and a half of lessons, could not make a go of it, but was so determined, she kept at it, refused to quit, and by the end of her second year, it finally clicked. Now 25, Erin’s still playing. “There’s nothing magic with learning to play, it just takes sheer persistence and practice,” said Mr. Knutson. “Sticking with it is key.” For years, Mr. Knutson has traded off lessons with other teachers – teaching their students blocks of music, in return for them teaching his art, drama, and physical education components. Discussing it, Mr. Knutson smiled broadly at the schedule he’d mastered over the years. “I’ve managed to sucker the whole system,” he laughed. “I get paid for doing something I love.” Gil Knutson’s retirement party is on June 25 at Broadway Mennonite Church from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. kbartel@theprogress.com

“There haven’t been too many of those lately,” he joked, pressing harder on the metal, perhaps to make a point. As Infiniti Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products, rather than merely offering his name as a celebrity endorsement. He talked enthusiastically about the new compact, performance-oriented Q30, which should see the light late next year in Europe and a little later in Canada. The 328-horsepower 3.7-litre V6 Q50S we were riding in also benefitted from a little of his input. He’s clearly looking forward to Infiniti giving the go-ahead to the Q50 Eau Rouge concept, which features the Nissan GT-R’s growling 560-horsepower twin-turbo V6. Another corner loomed and I leaned into the door, as he barely slowed from the rapid pace we had zipped along the straight. “Your cornering has improved since last year,” I offered cheekily.

“Thank you, I think I’ve got the apexes about right,” he grinned. Hours earlier, it’s doubtful he had even heard of the tricky track, nevermind driven it. Harkening back to his references to happy endings, I reminded him that after driving with me last year he had enjoyed nothing but success. “That’s right . . . it’s all down to you,” he said with what I believed was a thoroughly genuine smile of appreciation. The end was nigh. Time flies when you are having fun: our hot lap and friendly chat took less than four minutes. Last Sunday, he enjoyed only his second podium finish of the year taking third place at the Montreal Grand Prix. You’re welcome, Seb. Same time next year, in the Eau Rouge?

As Infiniti’s Director of Performance, Vettel is truly playing a role in the development of future road products.

Question of the Week Four-time F1 champ Sebastian Vettel got behind the wheel of a kart when he was just three-and-a-half years old and was racing at age eight. Should we encourage teens to follow that example, as a way of learning about vehicle speed and control before getting their first license at 16? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: As schools begin their summer break, there will be more children around the roads. Road safety is not always top of mind for kids, so make sure you pay extra attention, especially around playgrounds where speed limits remain in effect year-round.

Congratulations

Zoom-Zoom goes flash and boom

KEVIN KEW

With a flash of lightning beside our car, my co-pilot Alexandra Straub let out a screech as loud as the accompanying crack from the massive flash. Pouring rain in our tiny car made the very first day of the 2014 Mazda rally one to remember. The Mazda MX-5 (Miata) is a car most would associate with sunny, summer top-down driving but this little machine was determined to show what it was made of.

The howling wind, torrential rain and debris-covered roads were all taken in stride as we carved our way through the Tennessee mountains on our way to the Brasstown Valley Resort in neighboring Georgia. Over the next three days, we experienced the MX-5 on some of the most dramatic and scenic roads this continent has to offer, and there was money on the line, big money. Last year was the inaugural Mazda Rally, which Alexandra and I won, taking home $10,000 in charity money for Kidsport. As last year’s champions, we had extra pressure this year to repeat, something Follow us at:

we later found out would be much tougher than we had imagined. If you ever take a drive through the south east of the United States, do yourself a favour and divert away from the interstate highway system and experience driving nirvana, traversing the Blue Ridge, Unico and Smokey Mountain ranges. The lush National and State parks along with small towns and twisting river valleys is something to experience. This is a destination for drivers too, especially the “Tail of the Dragon”, a section of highway 129, just inside the North Carolina border that has 318 turns over an 18km stretch. This is a favourite of motorcycle riders but it is open to anyone wanting to experience back-to-back corners ranging from very tight to wide, sweeping turns. Our run up this road was wide open thanks to steady rain, with a few dozen motorcyclists out for a tour and several photographers taking pictures, then selling them to tourist, the same way you can buy a picture of your rollercoaster ride at the PNE! Paved roads are the place the MX-5 shines, wet or dry. It never felt like the car was out

of control, even on the fastest and most aggressive corners. There is so much goodness dialled into this little car that it rewards the driver and passenger hour-after-hour. With a front engine, rear drive setup and perfect weight distribution, the MX-5 has been one of my all-time favourite cars because of its simplicity. The small, light, thrifty dimensions matched to a raspy 2.0L 4-cylinder and 6-speed manual makes for a fantastic power-to-weight distribution, meaning the 160hp engine might not sound like much on paper but, in practice, Continued page X

A rare Mustang T5 is revealed By Keith Morgan

The focus of Driveway’s recent four-part collector car restoration series was unveiled this week at 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford earlier this week. The 1967 Ford Mustang T5, owned by public relations executive Laura Ballance, will take pride of place first at an exclusive preview for the second annual Vancouver Collector Car Show & Auction. Then it will go on public display at this weekend’s event at the PNE Fairgrounds, where more than 600 vintage vehicles will be on display and nearly 150 classic rides will go on Maynard’s auction block. Some other show highlights: a bright

‘A&W orange’ 1966 Plymouth Satellite will be auctioned off with no fees, no reserve, and 100 percent of the proceeds going to the MS Society of Canada. The duPont Registry is bringing eight ultra-rare vehicles from across the Lower Mainland for the first ever duPont Series – including J.D. Rockefeller’s Lincoln Town Car Limo. The Vancity Stunters will be performing motorcycle stunts and Barracuda, the Heart tribute band, will be rock out on Saturday night. If you want to check out the restoration process for the T5 and view a photo gallery, you can do so at Drivewaycanada.ca keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Vancouver Collector Car Show & Auction DATES/TIMES: June 21, 10:00AM – 9:00PM; June 22, 10:00AM – 5:00PM LOCATION: PNE Fairgrounds TICKETS: Single Day Admission - $15 Weekend Admission - $25 Children 13 years and under – Free Bidder’s Pass – $50.00 (includes a bidder’s paddle, weekend and guest pass, colour catalogue, VIP seating, two drink tickets, and an invitation for you and a guest to the opening preview event sponsored by 360 Fabrication and hosted By Steve Magnante) For more information, visit www.VancouverCollectorCars.com.

it makes the most of every situation. One thing Mazda’s event planners has us do was drive and collect information for each days challenges. All of these were kept secret until the beginning of each drive, including the roads we might travel. A surprise was that some sections were unpaved. Taking Mazda’s brand new MX-5 through forest backroads at speed, meant rocks flying, branches felled from the previous night’s storm kicking up, sliding sideways through corners and pounding over rough and rutted gravel. At the end, the MX-5 showed no signs of wear; it just powered on to the next challenge, which was another surprise, the Atlanta Motorsports Park for an autocross challenge. To say we went from one extreme to the other is an understatement. An hour earlier I was sliding across gravel roads, followed by sliding around a racetrack trying to avoid pylons to dial in my best lap time. As it turns out I did get the second best time of the event but one of those pylons got in the way,

knocking down my time by two seconds, all part of the challenge’s rules. Over the three-day event, Alexandra and I didn’t have one disagreement, I made some navigational errors and so did she.

At the end, we had slipped from second place after the first day to fifth place. Sadly, next year we won’t be able to proudly display the number one on the side of our Black Press car. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Raising cash for charity and turning heads along the way The Supercar: It’s something anyone of any age can appreciate. The design. The engineering. The way the engine and exhaust purrs – or roars – when you push on the throttle. They are the culmination of

the workmanship of talented individuals who dedicate their lives to crafting components that are then distributed globally. Now put more than 100 of these machines together (111 to be exact) and the appreciation factor goes up 110-

fold. To some, Supercars are a gaudy form transportation. An arrogant display of wealth. To others, works of art. But to the group who participated in the second annual Diamond Rally, it’s more than just a showcase of imported

engineering or customization. It’s about a great cause. It’s for charity. I’m not going out on a limb when I say that car enthusiasts love to see amazing cars, regardless of context. What’s more, it’s even cooler when a group of them travel

together up one of the most incredible drives in the world: the Sea-to-Sky Highway. What started off last year with 42 cars quickly grew to three digits. Each entering car chose a charity to raise funds for. As the day was ramping

up, the Brian Jessel BMW dealership in Vancouver was overrun with vehicles ranging from a 1957 Ford Thunderbird (it was quite the car back in the day, and still is) to the Lamborghini Aventador. Along with Nissan GT-Rs, Maseratis,

Porsches, Ferraris, and more. Even the brand new BMW i8, which had yet to be driven on Canadian soil, broke ground and was the lead car in the day’s event. The route would take us along the spectacular Sea-to-Sky highway, with a stop in Squamish and then the main rendezvous in Whistler. Fellow motorists were pleasantly surprised when they spotted the exotics driving beside them on the world famous road. My ride? – The humble, all new, BMW M4. I say humble because I had nowhere near as much horsepower (this only generates 425) as some, or most, of my fellow drivers. But what I did have was the “wow” factor. Clad in an extremely eye-catching Austin Yellow Metallic coat, she was quite the sight to see. What made it even more special? It’s a 6-speed manual. Unsuspecting admirers didn’t catch me overhearing their conversations including, “Dude, this one’s a stick. Awesome.” Yes, some people actually talk like that. Though it may not have garnered nearly as much attention as some of my fellow rallyers, it still brought smiles to people’s faces. That’s what I think the event is all about. So did the drive route. Craig Stowe, Founder of the Diamond Rally and Canada’s own Luxury & Supercar Weekend mentions, “There is a new breed of supercar owners who are rallying together to individually raise awareness and money for the charity of their choice.” He also comments that Vancouver is supercar crazy, and that there are more luxury and supercars per capita then any other city in North America . “There is nothing like 111 spectacular cars rallying up the 99 highway to bring awareness to many worthy charities.

Perspectives Taking the pressure off ‘Generation Squeeze’ I recently attended the 21st annual Conversation on Chilliwack’s Children, where service providers, community agencies, teachers, parents, and youth – among others – came together to discuss what Chilliwack can do the improve the lives of the children and youth who live here. Lynell Anderson, senior family policy Eryn researcher with the University WICKER of BC’s Human Early Learning Project (HELP), delivered the afternoon keynote address entitled Opening a new door for Generation Squeeze. According to Lynell and her research, Canada ranks poorly for investing in families with young children, and many Canadians are unaware of this. According to recent research, she said that Canada ranks decently on economic competitiveness and healthy aging, but declines in the areas of gender equality and family policy in early years. Her question was: How can we build a Canada that can support all those things? The challenge to this, she claims, is that the work we are doing by trying to keep the doors open – much like the doors of a house – is futile if we are ignorant to the weak foundation the house

it sitting upon. This foundation, according to her and HELP, is the social and economic changes that have happened over the past 40 years, thus creating Generation Squeeze. The story of Generation Squeeze goes something like this: Canada’s economy has doubled since 1976, which produces on average an extra $35,000 per household across the country, yet despite this economic growth: • Wages for young people have actually dropped • Real wages are down even though there is twice the participation rates in post-secondary education • The cost of housing has increased, and it now takes three times as long to raise money for a housing down payment compared to 40 years ago • Real household income has dropped slightly even though there are more women working and more educated individuals • Add children into the mix and it worsens, especially since child care costs more than postsecondary education This all leads to the squeeze for those under the age of 45 – squeezed for time at home, for services and for money (because of student debt, consumer debt and mortgage costs). A generation ago, this picture looked different. Changes in policy, including introducing universal health care and old age pension, led to

the decrease in seniors’ poverty nearly to the point of elimination. Today, there is a different story for young families in poverty. Canada is spending more public funds for boomers and seniors ($45,000 on average) but only $12,000 per person under 45. To close this generational spending gap, HELP is proposing that government introduce a new deal to eliminate poverty for families with young children by changing its spending per citizen. They want to put Family back into Canadian values where we spend more time together, less on stuff. Some potential ideas for this include: new mom and dad benefits; 18 month maternity/ parental leave; $10/day daycare, or free daycare for those earning less than $40,000. According to the numbers, these changes would save the average family $50,000 in the first five years, and give parents more choices to work less than a 70-hour combined work week, pay off student debt, save more easily for a home, or grow an income.

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Sack king finds spot with Bisons Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Evan Foster shouldn’t make any sense. How does a guy who played football for the first time as an 18 year old get so good so fast? From one year of midget to four years of junior and now on to CIS football, his meteoric rise through the ranks isn’t supposed to happen. “I played hockey and lacrosse growing up, and got a little big for those sports,” said the Chilliwack native who recently committed to the University of Manitoba Bisons. “I switched over to football and it just felt like my natural sport.” Foster always thought football looked fun, and when a couple buddies wanted to play in 2009, he signed up with the Chilliwack Minor Football Giants. He was part of a provincial champion team that first year, proving to be a quick study on the defensive line. “Defensive line isn’t too hard to pick up because a lot of times it’s just pin your ears back and go,” he said. “Stop the run on the way to the quarterback kind of thing. Maybe if I played defensive back or linebacker it would have been tougher, but the movements, hits and hands all come pretty natural to me.” From midget he moved on to the BC Football Conference and the perennial powerhouse Vancouver Islander Raiders. He was there for two years and two Cullen Cup championships, though he drew the wrath of some local fans for not choosing his hometown Valley Huskers. “I got a lot of questions at that time,” he conceded.

“But I didn’t want to stay in town. I just wanted to get out. And when I came back, I don’t want to sound bad, but I wanted to go to a winning team.” Foster joined the Langley Rams for the 2012 and 2013 seasons, winning another BCFC title in 2012. His team fell short in the final last year, the first time that his season ended without a championship. Still, if the Bisons or any other CIS team were hesitant to sign the Chilliwack secondary school grad, his individual dominance silenced any doubts. He was the most disruptive defensive force in the BCFC, and maybe Canadian junior football. He terrorized quarterbacks all year, and in the season finale against the Huskers, Foster recorded four QB sacks. That gave him 16 for the year, new record for both the BCFC and CJFL. “I was pretty amped up for that game because all my friends and family were there to watch me play (at Exhibition Stadium),” he said. “Coming into the game I was told the record was 12 sacks, and I just needed one to break it. Not until after the game did I find out it was 15.” Foster’s BCFC exploits earned him pro notice and two invites to BC Lion prospect evaluation camps, including one last April. “The first time I was pretty nervous and more-or-less scared. I was the youngest guy there and it was eyeopening,” he said. “There were guys from the United States who were really, really big. It was tough to describe, but I thought I did pretty well trying to make an impression.”

Evan Foster (right) spent last year terrorizing quarterbacks in the BC Football Conference. LANGLEY TIMES PHOTO

Foster had some other CIS programs sniffing around as he tore through the league last year, but the Bisons were always at the top of his list. He could have signed with them last year, but didn’t feel ready. He does now. “I wanted to play one more year to really make a name for myself, which I think I did,” he said. “I didn’t think I was ready for all the commitment with school, but it was always going to be Manitoba. They flew me out

right away and I really liked their coaches and facilities. I got a good feeling from them.” During the recruiting process, Bisons head coach Brian Dobie and defensive coordinator Stan Pierre mentioned the possibility that Foster may have to switch positions. He’s big in person at sixfoot and 260 pounds. But that’s small by CIS defensive line standards. “I told them I’m six-foottwo and 275 pounds,” he laughed.

“They wanted to know if I’m comfortable moving around, moving out to end or maybe even playing a bit of linebacker,” he continued. “I’m cool with anything they want me to do. I think they were thinking of more of a rush linebacker where I line up and do my thing getting after the QB.” The new home of the Bisons and the Canadian Football League’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers, Investors Group Field, was still under construction when Foster toured it two years ago.

The team started playing in it last year, and he looks forward to the CIS atmosphere and one of the most loyal and vocal fan bases in the country. “I think it’ll definitely be faster football, and I think I’m ready for it, but I won’t know for sure until I get into a game,” he said. “I’m super excited to make plays in that environment and the ultimate goal is to play well, get drafted into the CFL and play pro.” Get Bison info online at gobisons.ca

Track facility set to get six-figure makeover The Chilliwack Track and Field complex at Sardis secondary school is getting a longoverdue makeover this summer. Chilliwack City Council approved the project at Tuesday’s meeting. The cost will be $643,905 plus taxes, split between the City and the Chilliwack School District. Those funds will pay for a polyurethanebound rubber synthetic top coat that will extend

the life of the eight-lane track another 15-20 years. Both parties have been setting aside money each year knowing the track was nearing the end of its lifespan. The plot of land it occupies is half owned by the City and half owned by the District. One of the first rubberized tracks in BC, it dates back 21 years to the 1993 BC Summer Games. “It’s been a very good

it becomes smoother, not bumpy like it’s supposed to be,” Smith explained. “When it’s not bumpy, the athletes don’t have as much traction.” Some problems won’t be fixed by the makeover. The area behind the school seems to be a hangout for bored teens. Smith’s club often arrives to find bottles, broken or otherwise, littering the track. And the facility has

facility, and it still looks fine if you don’t look too closely,” said Chilliwack Track and Field president Roberta Smith. “But if you look closely you start to notice the signs of wear and tear.” Smith said the railing system is outdated, and some of the guttering that runs along the edge has been pulled up. Though signs are posted asking people to stay off of lane one, it is still heavily used by walkers and runners. “And with heavy use

endured several attacks by vandals. “Two Halloweens ago someone poured gas or some sort of flammable liquid on the track and tried to light it on fire,” she said. “So there are burn marks on it. There’s been some horrible damage done to it.” There are no guarantees the renewed track won’t suffer the same fate, but that doesn’t diminish the excitement. “It’s going to be the

pole vault is at the far end of the field, as far away from the fieldhouse as it can get. We’ll move that closer so we don’t have to carry that big mat all the way across the field. We’re looking at other things too, like maybe moving the long jump out of the infield.” Work is set to start in July. Tender for the project closed June 11 with Ocean Marker Sport Surfaces getting the nod.

same surface, and they are working within a budget,” Smith said. “But all the user-groups were asked to provide wish-lists, and the District tried as hard as possible to accommodate us.” The simple things will mean the most. Smith’s club will benefit from new lines, with the old ones fading over the years. “Plus, we’ll move some of the event venues around a bit,” she added. “Right now the

There are three questions I always get asked about racing at Agassiz Speedway, queries that come from fans and curious would-be participants on a regular basis. The most common is ‘Can I get a chance to watch the races from the pits?’ The simple answer is yes, but the best answer is ‘You really don’t want to.’ If you really want to be in the pits to watch the races, it is easy enough to ask any driver coming through the pit gate if you can be part of their team. It costs a few dollars more than the standard gate admission, but you are at ground zero, so to speak. Be prepared that some drivers may not want to be responsible for you, but most are happy to sign you in. You must wear full

HOW TO PLAY : Fill in the grid so that every row, every column and every 3 x 3 box contains the numbers 1 through 9 only once. Each 3 x 3 box is outlined with a darker line. You already have a few numbers to get you started. Remember: you must not repeat the numbers 1 through 9 in the same line, column or 3 x 3 box. THE ANSWER TO TODAY’S PUZZLE IS IN THE CLASSIFIEDS!

- You are stuck there for the evening, generally with no early leaving. - No family, just individuals. - The food is OK down here, but not quite the same standard as up in the stands. (no onion rings either) - The noise and fumes can become your enemy. - Finally, watching the races while having to turn in circles all night is weird, dizzying, tiring and detrimental to your health.

say, ‘hi!’ The second question is, ‘How fast do you really go on a quarter mile track?’ Well, if everything is falling apart on the driver that night, and they forgot to top up the fuel, it works out to about two kilometres per hour. However, if everything is tuned right and the driver is in top form, a midget car like Aaron Willison’s No. 41 can get around the track in just 13 seconds. That makes for an average speed of 108 kph. Allowing for an 20 per cent slow down around the corners, and a 20 per cent add on for the short 200 yard straight section, it means he probably hits just over 130 kph when he’s just a foot off the wall. Even the slowest class, the Hornets, will exceed posted freeway speeds (100 kph) as they start to enter the corners, which makes for real excitement if anything goes wrong. And finally, the third most common question is, ‘What if you are out in the middle of the race

and you have to go to the bathroom?’ Sometimes during a 50 lap race, or when there is an accident that has to be attended to, drivers have to stop under red and cannot leave their cars. Sitting waiting for the race restart after the driver has had three Red Bulls and four coffees can sometimes be uncomfortable. Basically, we hold it. I know of some racers who have complete bladder systems installed, or resort to finding the plastic bottle they wedged into the door frame. Undoing a one piece fire suit is a bit of a problem, never mind actually performing any exit ritual for your waste product. Finally, it should be known that diapers and/or ‘Depends’ have been known to be in a drivers’ bag. Don’t think I know anyone willing to admit it though.

The Chilliwack Chiefs got a player commitment this week that wonâ€™t affect the 2014-15 roster much, but may have a huge impact in future years.

He may see minor action this year as an affiliate player, but will play full time for Abbotsfordâ€™s Yale Academy U-18 Lions. Last season, in 30 games including playoffs with the Yale

Dunlop, Edwin (Ed) James

Sept 14, 1952 - June 12, 2014 It is with a broken heart I announce the passing of my husband and best friend at the young age of 61 yrs, after losing his battle with cancer. Ed was born in Rossland, BC on Sept 14, 1952. He was predeceased by daughter Katrina and mother Irene. He is survived by his loving wife Bonnie of Chilliwack, son Darren (Michelle), grandsons Michael and Austin, step granddaughters Alyssa and Kaitlyn of Edmonton, sister Kay (Gordon) of Langley, father Jim, two aunts, several nephews and nieces, several cousins and several great nieces and nephew. Ed has been a Paramedic for 28 years, starting in Rossland and continuing as full time Paramedic in Vancouver Post in 1999 ending in Chilliwack. He was a volunteer fireman for 13 yrs in Rossland. He was a diligent and proud blood donor. There will be a celebration of his life on July 5, 2014 at 45530 Spadina Ave in Chilliwack at the Landing Sports Centre Loft Room from 1-3pm In lieu of flowers, a special account has been set up at TD Bank by Bonnie Dunlop in memory of Ed Dunlop. All proceeds will go towards purchasing much needed equipment for Cascade Hospice in Chilliwack. Please contact Rob Coghill at 1-604751-1465 for details on how to donate.

Yaxley Mark, Daniel

Hutton Dr. Gordon, James It is with the utmost sadness that after a brief illness we report the peaceful passing of Gordon Hutton. Gordon was born and raised in a small mining town in the Crow’s Neck Pass, Alberta. After high school he worked in the coal mine for a year before seeking higher education. He attended Mount Royal College and then the University of Alberta, graduating in 1956 with his DDS (Dr. of Dental Science) degree. Gordon married Yvonne Eriksson in 1954 and after his graduation they headed west to find a place to begin a practice, make a home and raise a family. They drove through Chilliwack on a beautiful spring day and never left. Gordon practiced dentistry for 44 years from 1956 - 2000. Gordon had many hobbies including music (he loved to play the piano), woodwork, fishing and golf. He was the last of the original founding members of the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club. Gordon was predeceased by his wife Yvonne in 2009. He is survived by his children Erik and Bev, Gordon and Don; grandchildren Mitchell, Graham and Leanne Hutton and Christine Matusiak; extended family Alfie, Marie and Heather Anderson, Yvonne and Randy Cumming, Glen, Vicky and Carol Hutton and Nancy and Sandy Gauthier. At Gordon’s request there will be no memorial service. A text received from a friend was very appropriate for Dad...”so sad to hear about Gordon. He was the noblest of us all. He never had a bad word to say about anyone. We will miss him dearly.”

Mark was born on Thursday, February 19, 1987 in Chilliwack. Mark is survived by his parents Kathy and Ross, twin sister Megan (Simon), nieces Shelby & Jenna, nephew Jeremy and daughter Willow. Grandparents Leo and Anne Schmidt, Grandmother Nellie Yaxley (of Ontario), Auntie Linda (Bob), Uncle Dale (Lisa), Uncle Ron (Darlene), Auntie Karen (Max), Uncle Wayne, Auntie Sharon (Rick), Uncle Dan (Laurie), Auntie Colleen (Jim) and many cousins. Mark is predeceased by his Grandfather Ross Yaxley Sr. Mark graduated from Sardis Secondary School in 2005 and went on to become a diamond driller working in the North West Territories, Nunavut, Rankin Inlet, Northern Saskatchewan, Northern Ontario, and Northern BC. His work ethic was immeasurable! Mark loved what he did and enjoyed being in remote places! He experienced parts of our world most never do and had the most amazing stories and pictures to prove it! He had a passion to travel, with Thailand being one of his favorite places. He called it Paradise and it is there, he learned the sport of diving. He loved music, playing the guitar of which he taught himself for the most part. He loved the outdoors with quading, skeet shooting, camping and snowboarding being some of his favorite pass times! Mark will be so greatly missed, his memory will live on forever and our lives are forever changed!

EVERYONE WELCOME!

DUPUIS, DOROTHY MARCH 11, 1921 ~ MARCH 20, 2014

Dorothy Reta Dupuis was born in Amherst, Nova Scotia and made the world a better place for the 93 years she was here. She was the 5th child in a family of 9 children. With an amazing memory, bright mind, curiosity for people, places and events, she was a natural to become the family go-to historian. Her quick wit, writing skills and storytelling were enjoyed by many. As a true Maritimer generosity was always in Dorothy’s blood. She would give the shirt off her back if someone was in need. Being a fabulous cook she enjoyed nothing more than setting another place at the table to make a guest feel at home. In the 1930’s Dorothy’s Aunt Minnie had a boarding house for miners in Springhill, NS and she spent many a happy time there visiting and working alongside her cousins. Dorothy married the love of her life, Henry (Betts) Dupuis, and their three children (Douglas, Linda and Gail) were born in Kentville, NS. Family was everything to her and Henry’s military career provided the opportunity for them to travel and live throughout Canada in London, Ontario; Dawson Creek, BC; and Chilliwack, BC. After bravely dealing with a greater number of health concerns than anyone should have to bear, Dorothy passed away peacefully at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Comox, BC. “Going Home” before her in 1990 was her husband Henry, and ever so sadly her son Douglas in 2008. She is survived by her one remaining and very close younger brother Robert Coates, Halifax, NS; her two loving daughters that miss her dearly...Linda (married to Michael De Belser) Courtenay, BC and Gail (married to Ken Maggs) New Westminster, BC. Also surviving Dorothy are nieces, a nephew, grandchildren, and adorable great grandchildren. Linda and Gail would like to thank: Dr. Theresa Wilson for the attention, personal care and loving support she provided to their Mom, to the VIHA Home Support team for their tender loving care and patience which gave their mother the gift of choice to remain living somewhat independently in her own home, to the gals at Glacier View Lodge where she went on Thursdays for a ‘spa’ day when she felt well enough, and to the compassionate and helpful staff on the 2nd floor in the Transitional Care Unit at St. Joe’s Hospital who enabled her to live her last days with ease and grace. In keeping with Dorothy’s passion for life, attending music concerts, dancing, and listening to the blues, a joy-filled Celebration Of her Life will be held in the future in Chilliwack, BC with family and friends. Although I understand some may be saddened when I leave, One day, we will all meet again that’s what I believe... May my girls Linda and Gail especially find peace in the thought that my heart is free from care and that I am happy! ~ Dorothy ~ Mom ~
