Scientists divided on virus threat to Cultus Lake fish

W ARM

COMPANY AT BLACK POWDER RENDEZVOUS

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Researchers say a fish virus found in Cultus Lake cutthroat trout could be impacting the endangered Cultus sockeye. Fish population expert Rick Routledge, a professor at Simon Fraser University, said the piscine reovirus (PRV) was found in 13 of 15 samples of the Cultus Lake trout. “If PRV has been found in a Cultus Lake sport fish, it could be contributing to the failure of the lake’s sockeye population to return in abundance,” says Routledge. The virus could be linked to other diseases found on fish farms, he said, such as the heart and skeletal muscle inflammation (HSMI), which hit Norwegian salmon farms and can kill up to 20 per cent of infected fish. Routledge said this first detection of PRV in a B.C. freshwater sport fish indicates the virus could already be “prevalent” to some extent. However, a fish pathologist with the B.C. Ministry of Agriculture said the link to the fish heart disease could not be established with just the detection of this virus by itself. “I’m not surprised that the virus sequence is present because we find it in 60 to 75 per cent of farmed salmon,” said Gary Marty from the Animal Health Centre in Abbotsford. “In Norway, they call PRV ‘ubiquitous’ because every time they sample fish, they find it.” The reovirus could have been present for “generations” in B.C. waters, he said. The ‘o’ in reovirus stands for ‘orphan’ which means it’s a virus without a disease, Dr. Marty added. Some Canadian scientists and non-government organizations are concerned that salmon farms pose a serious risk to wild Pacific salmon, and have specifically raised concerns about the spread of PRV from farms to wild stocks. “The discover y of PRV in Cultus Lake’s cutthroat trout also begs the question is it in other related species in the lake, such as rainbow trout, kokanee and Dolly Varden?” said Routledge in the release. “This latest discovery could also mean that salmon and trout in any lake exposed to spawning salmon returning from the North Pacific must be considered at risk of infection.” Continued: VIRUS/ p10

New law gets tough on metal theft Robert Freeman The Progress A province-wide metal theft law went into effect Monday bringing smiles to Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz and to other municipal mayors that have city bylaws aimed at halting such theft. “We are really happy the province has enacted this legislation,” Gaetz said. “We’ve been asking for this for a long time.” She said there are 10 B.C. municipalities that have bylaws to deter thieves from selling stolen metal like copper wiring to scrap metal dealers.

But the problem was that thieves could take materials stolen in one community to dealers in other communities without similar bylaws that require disclosure of the sale to police, she said. The province-wide law and regulations will attempt to put an end to that. “If you have scrap metal to sell you will need to produce ID - a valid driver’s licence or BC Identity Card - and that must be recorded by the person buying the scrap metal,” said Chilliwack MLA John Les. The record of the sale must also be made available to the

RCMP, he said. “That’s really at the heart of this,” he said. “Up to now there was the ability to sell with no questions asked, no requirement for disclosure, no requirement by the dealer to make the information available to police.” The provincial government hasn’t been eager to place more regulations on business, he said, “but the problems we’ve encountered with metal theft requires a government response.” For instance, thieves are stealing live telephone wires that connect the elderly to medical monitoring systems

and to 9-1-1 emergency dispatch, he said. Manhole covers have also been stolen and sold in “blatantly irregular transactions,” Les said, that put innocent people at risk. “Clearly somebody is accepting these things with no questions asked,” he said. Les agreed there may be legal challenges to the law for privacy reasons, but “we think this (law) is a reasonable response to a problem we have in society today,” he said. “We think we’re on pretty solid (legal) territory here,” he Continued: METAL/ p4

Tourist catches ‘fish of a lifetime’ on the Fraser River Katie Bartel The Progress A couple from England came to Chilliwack to fish on the Fraser River and they left with the catch of a lifetime. On July 16, 65-year-old Michael Snell, of Salisbury, England, snagged a 12-foot, four-inch great white sturgeon that weighed approximately 1,100 pounds and is estimated to be over 100 years old in Chilliwack waters while on a guided tour with Great River Fishing Adventures. The catch was an hour-and-ahalf battle that felt “like we were hooked up to a freight train,” down six miles of river with Snell manning the rod and his wife Margaret holding onto his belt for anchorage. “It is the most excitement I’ve ever had with a fish,” said Snell. “When we picked her head up out of the water, it was almost threefeet wide. I never knew a fish could be that large.” With a 53-inch girth below the pectoral fins, and a length that spanned the boat, the catch is being boasted as one of the largest

sturgeons ever caught in North America. While Dean Werk, owner of Great River Fishing Adventures and the Snells’ guide, has seen sturgeons in excess of 20-feet long, he’s never before come face to face with one the size of last week’s.

“We knew it was big, we thought maybe eight feet, but until we actually got the fish to shore, we didn’t realize what we had,” said Werk. “The head was almost three-feet wide – we couldn’t get our arms around it. “To catch and land a fish this big

Decision to cancel question period explained by board Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Any burning questions for the Cultus Lake Park Board will now have to be addressed directly by the board chair, CLPB staff, or the park board as a whole. But they will no longer be entertained during an official question period at the end of board meetings. The board voted to suspend question period indefinitely on June 27. On Friday a letter from Board Chair Bob McCrea was released to Cultus Lake Park residents explaining the decision, and the rationale for making it at an incamera meeting. “Some of the commissioners felt that a few members of the audience, when asking questions, had stepped over the lines of decorum by not showing respect for the Board room, or those who serve in it,” he wrote in a letter to Cultus residents dated July 21. The board decision was “declassified” by commissioners so residents could be notified of it. “Any disrespectful comments are not appreciated by the Board or Staff,” reads one part of the letter. McCrea stated that he believes it is a commissioner’s “duty” to listen to the wishes of the people, and “while it’s hoped the public will be respectful, there are times when the audience’s feelings are expressed in a way that is personally offensive to Staff and Commissioners.” He noted that some commissioners

thought he was responsible for the “lack of decorum” at meetings and he said he valued those comments just as much as he did those of lake residents. Although all questions are supposed to go through the chair to staff or commissioners, sometimes unwelcome comments come up from the floor “unexpectedly” and are therefore difficult for the chair to “censor,” McCrea wrote. Consequently, Cultus Lake Park residents are welcome to continue sending questions to the Cultus Lake Park Board, “and they will either be answered by me, the staff or will be discussed by the board as a whole,” McCrea concluded. Some residents said the decision goes against the boards own bylaws. The bylaw in question reads, in part: “The Board shall hold a thirty minute public participation period or until speakers have concluded, whichever comes first after section: Community Association of the Public Agenda of each regular Board meeting.” Area resident Rick Williamson said his initial reaction to the letter was that it was “pretty pathetic,” in terms of an explanation, since it doesn’t address the question of bylaw violation with the question period cancellation. “The Board has violated its own bylaw in an attempt to silence the public it was elected to serve,” he said. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

is pretty remarkable.” Sport anglers have a less than two per cent success rate of hooking and guiding large sturgeons to shore. Also remarkable is the fact that this sturgeon has gone unnoticed for more than 100 years.

Werk, who partners with the Fraser River Sturgeon Conservation Society in tagging and collecting data on all sturgeons that are caught and released by his clients, discovered this sturgeon was not tagged. That means, it swam through two world wars, the 1948 floods, the first manned moon landing, the discovery of penicillin, the invention of the Internet, and “it may never have seen a human life until now,” said Werk. “What an amazing opportunity to touch a prehistoric creature.” After inserting a tag under the sturgeon’s skin to help collect conservation data for the future, the great fish was released. And the Snells who caught a five-foot sturgeon the last time they were in Chilliwack three years ago, went home on Saturday with a story for the ages. “These people came all the way from Salisbury, England and they just had their very own Olympics right here in Chilliwack,” said Werk. “This was a fish of a lifetime.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Two charged so far in fraud case Chilliwack RCMP’s Crime Reduction Unit investigating a U.S.-based complaint have arrested three people in Chilliwack for a suspected fraudulent credit card operation. Two Chilliwack women, Brittany Laduke, 28, and Sarah West, 20, have been charged with unauthorized use of credit card data. Charges have not yet been laid against a 37-year-old Chilliwack man arrested in connection with the investigation. The three were arrested July 11 when investiga-

tors obtained a warrant to search a residence in the 46000-block of First Avenue because it was believed someone at the address was using stolen credit card data to make online purchases totalling nearly $9,000. RCMP Sgt. Steve McLeod said none of the credit cards in this instance were actually lost or stolen, and the investigation is ongoing into how the credit card information came into possession to be used for the online purchases. “It appears as though the credit card numbers and

card holder information was somehow compromised,” he said. McLeod advised card holders requesting new or replacement cards to have them delivered to a bank rather than mailed to a home address “to reduce the chances of the card and your personal information being stolen.” He also advised the public “to be diligent in reviewing their bank and credit card statements to ensure they account for all purchases being billed to their accounts.”

Police dog tracks down armed robbery suspect An armed robbery suspect was tracked down by an RCMP police dog Wednesday. Sgt. Pat Lockert and his dog Tork were called in to investigate the armed robbery of the Sunspot Eye Wear store at 7491 Vedder Road when a man matching the description of the robber was reported a few blocks away in the 45500-block of Knight Road. Tork picked up a trail and tracked the suspect for about 10 minutes, finally locating him in a hedge in the 7500-block of Topaz Street. Police said they also found an imitation handgun, a mask and screwdriver, all of which they believe were used in the robbery. Christopher Sepass, 26, of Chilliwack, has been charged with robbery, using an imitation firearm, and disguising his face to

commit a criminal offence. His next court appearance is scheduled for Aug. 14 in Chilliwack provincial court. RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said the capture of “a potentially dangerous suspect” is “yet another success story for our dog section.” Earlier this month, a police dog named Cargo located a missing senior suffering from Alzheimer’s in less than 30 minutes, protecting her from any harm she might have encountered. “Our police dogs are such an important part of our police force and offer such an invaluable service,” Hollingsworth said. “This investigation showed exemplary team work by our members, who together located a potentially dangerous suspect,” she said.

A 32-year-old Chilliwack woman who was airlifted to hospital following a multi-car crash Friday morning on Highway 1 in Abbotsford was released from hospital the following day. A friend of the woman said she suffered three large cuts to her head, believed to have been caused by the roof of the vehicle caving in, and required several stitches and staples. She had no broken bones or spinal damage. The incident happened at about 10:45 a.m. in the eastbound lanes, just west of the Highway 11 off-ramp. Two separate accidents occurred. The first involved three or four cars that rearended each other in a chain-collision crash, as a result of slippery roads, driver inattention and speed, according to RCMP. Traffic slowed, and it is believed that a van then rear-ended the Hyundai

METAL from Front said. “Time will tell.” In recent years, high scrap prices have driven the cost of metal theft into the “tens of millions of dollars” from utilities like Telus and BC Hydro, and from private construction companies and municipalities. Gaetz said Chilliwack metal theft peaked at about $24,000 in one year, but has since declined, in part, because Chilliwack RCMP are taking more

Accent driven by the woman. This caused the vehicle to spin and collide with a dump truck in the adjacent lane. Other cars were also involved – up to 10 in total. The Hyundai flipped on its side and part of it was pinned beneath the dump truck, requiring the driver to be extricated from the vehicle. She was conscious and speaking with emergency responders on the scene. The woman was transported to an air ambulance that had landed on the freeway a distance from the scene and was taken to Royal Columbian Hospital. Three other people were taken by ground ambulance to Abbotsford Regional Hospital with less serious injuries. Both eastbound lanes and alternate feeder routes were blocked for some time. The scene was clear by late afternoon.

“prolific offenders” off the streets and by steps the city has taken to make wire theft more difficult. Telus spokesman Shawn Hall said the new law “is going to be an important part of the solution in the fight against metal theft.” “This (metal theft) has a real impact on our customers,” including seniors relying on 9-1-1 and businesses left stranded when Interac service is shut down by wire theft. “We’re cer-

tainly pleased to see the province do its bit to put an end to this,” Hall said. The provincial regulations focus on metal types and objects historically targeted by thieves, ranging from copper telephone wire to metal grave markers. Under the new law, buyers who fail to register with the B.C. government and fulfill record-keeping requirements risk fines of up to $100,000. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Restrictions on idling make sense

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

Inconsiderate. Ignorant. Environment defiler. Whatever you call idlers, they’re everywhere and unnecessarily causing air and noise pollution. Recently, Richmond city council took a step toward cracking down on offending motorists. New regulations will arm bylaw officers there with the power to hand out fines of $60 to motorists who allow their vehicles to idle longer than three minutes on public property. Idlers have long been allowed to go about their business, turning the key and sitting in their parked vehicle for countless minutes while leaving the engine running for whatever reason. They’re not only causing pollution, they’re a nuisance. And don’t believe the idlers who insist their practice is necessary. Studies have clearly shown that idling for more than 10 seconds uses more fuel and produces more emissions that turning off, then restarting an engine. Idling is also not an effective way to warm up your vehicle, even in cold weather. Cities have powers to create regulations aimed at restoring public health or protecting citizens from nuisance. It’s good some are using them. ~ Black Press

Change needed if Canada is to compete on energy stage Last week the Standing Senate Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources released its report ‘Now or Never: Canada must act urgently to seize its place in the new energy world order.’ This three-year energy study by a 12-member team chaired by the Hon. W. David Angus has the Harper vision stamped all over it but, to be fair, it recognizes the many real and moving parts that make up the global energy picture and how that picture has changed in the last 36 months. “New technology breakthroughs, major new discoveries in shale gas, the development of alternative energy sources, new regulatory regimes, the nuclear disaster in Japan, major environmental considerations, and new sensitivity to the need for appropriate social licence to engage in resource development projects are

but a few of the factors which have contributed to this dynamic change in the world energy order,” wrote Angus in the Foreward to the report. “As well, a new and aggressive competition for international energy markets has suddenly become a major factor.” The repor t urges change if Margaret Canada is to compete as the most EVANS energy productive nation in the world. It also pushes the need to speed up in order to rely on the complete range of traditional and alternative energy sources while maintaining a high level of environmental performance. The urgency is emphasized with a backdrop that, on a per capita basis, Canada is among the top

three consumers of energy in the world given its vast geographical space, cold climate, and relatively low population. In 2008, Canadians spent $189 billion on energy but, said the report, Canadians actually have a low level of understanding in how we consume energy, produce energy for consumer use, and how energy underpins everything. “Change means innovating,” the report stated. “Change means consuming energy efficiently. Change means improving our environmental performance. Change means earning social licence. Change starts with each of us as energy citizens.” There’s no real argument with these battle-rallying words. But they are still concepts. There’s a chasm of difference between lofty Senate visions and boots on the ground reality, much of which was outlined during the senate hearings when government leaders,

researchers, industry stakeholders, Aboriginal people, environmental groups, citizens, and youth delegates all pitched their real concerns to committee members. Change is essential if we are going to dovetail the economy with energy efficiency and environmental safety. But we’re still a long way short of the mark. That frustrating fact is the motivation behind so much current opposition to pipeline expansion across the province with the fear of disastrous oil spills. And oil companies have hardly had a stellar record in that corner. Oil pipelines may be ‘energy highways’ in the committee’s eyes but for others who have cast a backwards’ glance at pipeline corporations all they see are troubled roads. According to the Polaris Institute, Enbridge (Northern Gateway project) has had 804 spills

along their 13,500 kilometres of pipelines between 1999 and 2010. Kinder Morgan’s 1,l50 km Trans Mountain pipeline has averaged one leak a year over the past 10 years. Yet the reality is for the global population to exceed nine billion by 2050 with a massive demand for energy, all at a time when dire predictions for peak oil and a depletion of traditional energy sources will abound. It’s no surprise the report calls for all renewable and alternative energy technologies (tidal, wind, solar, steam, biofuels, plus carbon capture and storage) to be fast tracked. The report makes sensible suggestions for Canada’s energy system to be modernized with a blueprint designed for energy prosperity. That’s all fine, so long as it has boots on the ground reality.

Can’t trust Kinder Morgan Re: ‘Aging oil pipeline is too risky, say critics,’ Chilliwack Progress, July 19. In response to Kinder Morgan spokesperson Lexa Hobenshield’s statement that use of diluents doesn’t increase the risk of corrosion, I would like to point out it is the tar sand component that is corrosive not the diluent. Anyone who’s ever sand-blasted something knows that sand under heat and pressure is corrosive. She says more sensitive tools now exist to monitor pipeline safety. But will they? The U.S. Department of Justice fined Kinder Morgan $1 million for falsely certifying in permit applications that they would operate and maintain air pollutant

emissions and control equipment in accordance with regulations, when in fact this equipment was not being operated and maintained properly. Kinder Morgan likes to point to their record in Canada. Probably because their record in the U.S. has been abysmal. In 2005, Kinder Morgan spilled 70,000 gallons of fuel into Oakland’s inner harbor, and then 300 gallons into the Donner Lake watershed in the Sierra Nevada. And in 2007, the city of San Diego sued Kinder Morgan for failing to clean up a fuel leak that contaminated an aquifer. Kinder Morgan has been fined by the U.S. government for stealing coal from customer’s stockpiles,

lying to air pollution regulators, illegally mixing hazardous waste into gasoline, and many other crimes A Kinder Morgan subsidiary was convicted of six felony counts related to the Walnut Creek pipeline explosion in which five workers burned to death, and ordered to pay $15 million in fines. A search of the name Kinder Morgan on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency website brings up an astonishing 2,980 links, many of them U.S. government legal proceedings against Kinder Morgan for a wide variety of violations. Can we trust them? I think not. Sandra Forbes Chilliwack

Strahl turns his back on science This month scientists from all across Canada held a funeral march on Parliament Hill for the “death of evidence.” They were protesting how MP Mark Strahl and his Conservative government are ignoring evidence in policymaking, cutting off funding to vital research and preventing government scientists from presenting evidence to the public.

This normally reserved group was moved to noisy protest by a set of decisions of the Conservative government that shows disregard for the hard work that our scientists do to generate knowledge for the benefit of Canadians. The Conservatives are eliminating the Experimental Lakes Area, which we have used for 40 years to pro-

tect us from poisons in our water. They killed the mandatory long form census, depriving us of a clear picture and understanding of the circumstances that Canadians face in their daily lives. Scores of federal scientists will no longer be monitoring and reporting to us about the environment that our children and grandchildren will have to live in.

I believe that to make good decisions you need good data. Yet Mr. Strahl and the Conservatives are eroding that data, bit by bit. It leaves our government flying blind — and dangerously illequipped to protect the health and safety of Canadians. Ted Hsu, MP Science and Technology Critic for the Liberal Party of Canada

Premier has clear plan for future What is it going to take for the provincial media to start asking Adrian Dix and the NDP the tough questions they need to be asked? For that matter, what is it going to take for the media to stop being so angry about the past that they can start to talk about the future of our province and its economic health? Premier Christy Clark does have a clear plan for the future and it’s a good one because she can see the economic crisis that’s coming down the pipe at us two to three years from now. She has already taken steps to ensure

that businesses in this province can continue to provide jobs and thrive when, for example, the inevitable rise in interest rates occurs or when Europe’s economy collapses under the weight of the faltering economies in Greece, Spain, Italy and Ireland. It won’t matter if interest rates rise a half point or 10 points. If the province’s economic health is not good businesses simply won’t be able to afford to keep people employed. Sadly, the NDP is all about now. Their vision doesn’t extend beyond the present even when

it’s apparent that the real questions and challenges are lying in wait for us two to three years out. Steering B.C. through the economic crisis ahead is going to require sober forward thinking not the dogmatic beliefs that have failed governments of all stripes in the past. The media need to start asking Adrian Dix some tough questions about the future of our province, questions he so far does not seem to have any answers for. Roop Virk Chilliwack

cern about the virus is that it’s the first known detection in a freshwater fish species. “In the past DFO did not provide any notice pertaining to virus detection in Cultus Sockeye, which leads to the possibility that they may already be aware of such virus findings in fresh-water fish,” he said. “Maybe we’re already years behind on this issue.” Soowahlie have historically relied on the supply of sockeye and other fish resources that were once plentiful in nearby rivers. “I think we really need to look at habitat issues as well,” he said. One ongoing issue is sewage at Cultus Lake. “In the broader context of environmental health, it’s a major concern. “We’re already on a slippery slope around habitat protection. “I think there’s a need for leadership on this from all levels of government.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Students give up summer for school Summer school used to be for students completing courses they failed, but now many students are taking it to get ahead in education. Katie Bartel The Progress Fourteen-year-old Samir Rehmtulla is giving up a month of his summer break to get ahead in school. The Vedder middle school student is taking English 9 and Science 9 this month through the Chilliwack school district’s summer learning program – not because he has to, but because he wants to. The straight-A student, who will be taking an accelerated English program next year that will have him completing both the Grade 9 and 10 curriculums, figured it would give him a leg up come September. “I just thought this would give me a good head start,” he said. “I know the workload’s going to be quite a bit heavier compared to Grade 8, and by getting a head start on these subjects it will give me more time to focus on the other subjects.” Samir isn’t the only student looking to get ahead. This year the school district has 617 students registered in its grades 1-9 summer school offerings; 3,564 students are taking

Grade 10-12 courses at Fraser Valley Distance Education over the summer months; and for the first time, the elementary spots are full and have a waiting list. According to summer learning vice principal Paul Allanson, several of his students are there because they want to be, not just because they failed a course as was the norm with summer school in years past. “It’s giving them a sneak peak into what the learning expectations are going to be,” said Allanson. At Fraser Valley Distance Ed, while some of the students are carry overs from the school year, others are specifically taking summer courses, like physical education, biology, English, math and planning 10 to “make room in their time table for electives they are interested in,” said vice principal Sharon Bernard. Taking courses ahead of schedule is an option that was made easier when the B.C. government made summer school free for all students in 2008. In Chilliwack, the school

district embraced the move. In addition to providing core courses, summer learning features two-week preview courses in areas of literacy and mathematics for students in grades 1-6. A summer-

specific planning 10 course was also offered at FVDES this year, of which 161 students took advantage. As well, a math 10 prep course was offered to Grade 9 students outlining the different concepts taught in foundations 10 and pre-calculus 10 to better assist students in choosing a suitable math

path for Grade 10. “What I have heard from former Grade 10 students is they didn’t expect math 10 foundations and pre-calculus to be so challenging,” said Allanson. “This gives them a sneak peak into the year ahead.” Parent Marianne Pastoor enrolled her youngest sons into the Be Fit for Lit elementary program in hopes they wouldn’t experience a summertime lapse in their reading and writing abilities. Pastoor’s sons Jordan, 8, and Hayden, 9, have struggled with school from the beginning. Jordan, who has a speech impediment, is two years behind his grade level despite his mom regularly working with him after school and on weekends. After seeing how Be Fit for Lit helped Hayden last year, Pastoor made sure to put both sons in this year. “Hayden’s reading improved quite a bit and his writing got neater and more coherent; he’s finally caught up to his reading level,” said Pastoor. “I’m just trying to keep their memories fresh.” Continued: SCHOOL/ p18

Moving beyond a gallery at Smudges Art Shoppe When Marko Jalava sought a new location for his downtown art store, he also embarked on a new approach. The aptly named Smudges Art Shoppe blurs the lines between art gallery, art store and art service. But it does this without losing the original intent of Jalava’s Yale Road location at Enigma Art Gallery: to make original artwork accessible, understandable and affordable. Jalava opened his new Mill Street store last month. The new location offers a bright and welcoming space that provides Jalava with the flexibility to move beyond a “gallery.” The room is sectioned into intimate viewing areas, accented with track lighting and ample natural light. The increased wall space provides not only more area for artwork, it allows him to feature different artists, and theme various locations. Jalava’s own artwork – haunting black and white portraits and vividly colourful landscapes – now domi-

Marko Jalava moved his business from Yale Road to Mill Street, and changed the name to Smudges Art Shoppe.

medium. It is a collaborative approach, where Jalava uses his skill as an artist to help customers achieve the most from their image. “The intent is to produce something artful from their own photography,” he says. That image could be a photograph taken yesterday, or a tattered black and white photo from years gone by. Jalava helps with the nuances of colour, composition and contrast, resulting in a work that customers are proud to hang on their wall. Each image is also treated with four layers of protective coating. Smudges Art Shoppe has only been open a few weeks, but Jalava is already happy with the reception. His decision to remain in the downtown was deliberate, and he says he’s excited to be a part of the area’s continued growth and revitalization. Smudges Art Shoppe is located at 9345 Mill St., Chilliwack, and is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday to Saturday (open until 7 p.m. on Fridays during Party in the Park). For more information, call 604.392.7779.

nates. But that will change. He points to a current exhibit of limited edition prints in Gary Haggquist’s Sunnyside Series as an

example of what he hopes to do. The goal is to showcase other artists and offer a venue for them to market their work.

He also intends to branch into another area with repurposed furniture and “select” home decor. But right now, print mak-

ing remains a core part of his business. Using the latest technology, Jalava can transfer any digital image onto a canvas or art paper

Hello, my name is Corny Woelders, I am one of the proud owners of Landmark Realty Chilliwack. I am married and have two great kids. I grew up in Chilliwack and graduated from C.S.S.S. (a long time ago) and then moved to Abbotsford where I met my wife of 23 years. I predominately worked in the poultry and dairy industry and also ran our own Poultry Farm. I became a Realtor® a number of years ago and worked out of the Landmark Abbotsford ofﬁce. However, I found myself selling a lot of homes in Chilliwack for friends and family, so when a Landmark franchise came available, my partners and I knew that Chilliwack was the place to go. Today’s low interest rates, plus low prices, plus high inventory, equals the perfect buyers market. So come on in and visit our ofﬁce and I will help you with all your real estate needs.

In my business career, I have bought and sold many homes, in every province of this country, and I have always relied on the professionals at RE/MAX to help me realize my dreams. I am very pleased to be a part of the RE/MAX Chilliwack team of full time professionals, and to be able to offer my experience to help you to realize your dreams. I offer the dedicated time and experience that you require, if you, or someone you know, is interested in buying or selling a home, business, or property. Please call me anytime for exemplary customer service!

A small percentage of home owners may be thinking of selling their own home in order to save the real estate commission. However, when a buyer sees a ‘for sale by owner’ sign, they also expect to save the same real estate fees as the seller, and will reflect this in a low offer. So, let’s take a minute to consider whether you will actually realize a savings. When a seller lists a home with a Realtor, a lot of marketing follows. Who are the potential buyers? How can they be reached effectively with information that will attract them to this particular property? Realtors use a variety of marketing techniques tailored to the individual home they are selling. To find potential purchasers, your Realtor can advertise your home in real estate newspapers, use telephone and direct mail marketing, and of course the real estate Multiple Listing Service which is the quickest and most effective way to promote your home to all Realtors. This increases the number of prospective buyers for your home. Realtors combine proactive marketing with realistic pricing to spell results for their sellers. They are trained to show your home effectively to qualified buyers and to get you the best price for your property. They know how to handle the maze of legal forms and procedures necessary to complete the sale. The paperwork is a major cause for concern for homeowners who try to sell their home with a ‘for sale by owner’ sign in the

Searching for a home or selling your present home, my goal is to provide you with professional real estate service. The web is great for looking at properties...but the web alone won’t help you choose the perfect home for you. That’s what I’m here for! Buyer’s I will provide information to meet your speciﬁc needs and assist you with every step of your purchase. Represent you through the purchasing process from offer to closing procedures. Sellers Prepare a complimentary comparative market analysis of your property. Marketing and advertising through regular advertising, the MLS and my personal website are just a few of the ways I will present your property for maximum exposure.

front yard. Using a standard real estate contract can be a risky proposition because of the many legal requirements which covers everything from disclosures to tenant’s rights. Professional Realtors understand the paperwork and know the pitfalls that can render a contract unenforceable. In the course of many real estate transactions, the buyer can decide to back out of the contract between ratiﬁcation and the closing. And, they will be able to do so, if the paperwork does not meet the precise legal requirements. The terms of the sale with a Realtor will be set forth in a clear and unambiguous way in order to avoid a costly dispute. Many of the homes that started out as ‘for sale by owner’ transactions that did not result in a sale ﬁnd the cost of unraveling the failed contracts will often exceed a Realtor’s fee. Working with a professional Realtor will save you time and money and ensure peace of mind!

WE LOVE CHILLIWACK every neighbourhood, every market and restaurant. As we are energetic and empathetic Realtors, WE LOVE MATCHING NEIGHBOURHOODS AND HOMES TO YOU, our clients, whether you are searching for a condo in Chilliwack, a character home in Garrison, or a big back yard in Sardis or anywhere in between, from Yarrow to Agassiz and Hope.

Medal mania for BC Summer Games athletes A pair of local synchronized swimmers led the Chilliwack medal parade at the BC Summer Games. Emily Neill picked up a gold medal in the tier 4-5 team event. Competing for a different team in the same event, Olivia Strickland placed third. Strickland, profiled in last Thursday’s Progress sports section, also won silver in the tier 2-3 trio event, teaming with Surrey’s Maria Goncharova and Rose MacKenzie. Isabel Taylor produced more gold on the water, finishing first in the girls slalom K1 kayak open. She teamed with Meghan Cheung (Langley), Willow Kehler (Mission) and Julianna Won (Maple Ridge) to take bronze in the girls C-4 (canoe) open event. Rhys Taylor paddled to bronze in the boys slalom K1 kayak open, with Finley Capstick finishing fifth in the same event. Rhys teamed with Maple Ridge native Matthew Koehler to take gold in the boys K-2 500m Train to Train event, and the duo placed fourth in the boys C-2 500m open. Taylor paddled with Tyler Demidoff, Jeffrey Jiang and Haydn Sugden-Harvey (all from Maple

Ridge) in the boys C-4 open event, finishing fourth. Tasha Willing placed third in discus with a mighty toss of 32.22 metres.

Second place showings in the 1000m run, high jump and long jump had Ryan Higuchi in great shape in the boys pentathlon. A fifth place finish in shot-

put knocked him back a bit, but Higuchi still made the podium with 2410 points, good for bronze. Connor McLellan and Steven Scurr teed off at Hazelmere in the

boys golf event. McLellan shot a 146 to finish second overall. Scurr’s 151 placed him eighth, and their combined efforts helped the Zone 3 team score silver. Swimmer Ryan Kuester produced a bronze medal in the male 100m freestyle, clocking a time of 1:15.27. He added a second bronze in the 100m individual medley with a time of 1:34.67 and finished fifth in the 50m backstroke with a time of 44.97 seconds. Matthew Benjamin finished eighth in the 50m backstroke (54.58s) and ninth in the 100m freestyle (1:40.26). Kaitie Feland helped her Fraser Valley 3A girls rugby team to a second place finish, losing 29-5 in the gold medal game. Mark Harrison’s Fraser Valley 3 boys volleyball team placed second. Six Chilliwack boys — Tony Pharand, Devyn Heggs, Parker Logan, Donovan Moorman, Colin Kellington and Josh Anderson — earned silver medals as part of the Fraser Valley 3 boys baseball team.

Local volleyballer makes case for getting involved Each year, the Chilliwack Progress teams up with Brad Geary’s English 10 Honours class at Sardis secondary school, inviting students to write sports articles. The best of the best get published in the pages of the Progress sports section. Today’s is the fourth and final article, detailing Harv Esau’s dedication to volleyball and community involvement.

Morgan Bahnman, Sardis secondary school

Getting involved in the community is something that everyone dreams of doing. But it always seems to be put on the back burner because of socalled ‘busy lives.’ Yet somehow, the majority of the population still finds time to update their Facebook status or catch up on the latest news. Harv Esau is not one of these people. Esau is proof that when a person sets

out to do something, important things can be accomplished. Esau has particularly succeeded in the sport of volleyball. It plays a huge part in his life and affects the lives of others as well. Every Thursday night at the Cheam Centre, he gets together with others who share his passion and enthusiasm for volleyball. They are a competitive and capable bunch. As Esau puts it, “We aren’t as competitive as some of the big hitters in college, but we can normally beat any high school team.” Some of the team members competed in a collegiate league, and have now have retired to the co-ed over-18 league. They’ve remained involved in the game, just not at such a high calibre. The team came in second place at their last tournament, which was held at the very end of March. They’ve finished for

the season, but hope to get together again next year. Involving himself in sports has gotten Esau more active and involved in the community. “Our team is like a family” he said. They will grab a bite to eat after their games or just get together, creating a wonderful community atmosphere. Many components

have influenced Esau in his volleyball adventure, but one of the biggest of all has been watching the game. “I’m such a visual learner, and the majority of things I do, I understand best by watching,” he explained. Quite often, he goes to Colombia Bible College in Abbotsford, not only to cheer on the players but also to observe their tech-

niques and apply them to his own game. Teammates have been crucial to improving Esau’s volleyball skills as well. He enjoys playing power or setter, but this year he learned the middle position. “I might not be the tallest guy on the team but I can block well,” he said. Esau can most definitely hold his own, and enjoys teaching

others the skills he has acquired over his 15 years of playing. Another aspect showing Esau’s deep connection to the community is his role as the assistant coach for the Chilliwack senior boys volleyball team. For the past two years he has helped the boys work harder, sweat more, and improve on their game. Esau has worked diligently to ensure that their serves are flawless. Last year he worked with the head coach to send the boys to playoffs. “This was a huge accomplishment for us,” Esau exclaimed, noting this as the very first time that he could recall the team making it that far. Esau also enjoys helping out at volleyball clinics, helping young athletes achieve their goals and take their games to the next level. When asked what impact he has made on helping others in their volleyball journey, the

answer was clear to him. “I am definitely the encourager,” he said. Esau relentlessly gives encouraging advice and helpful hints to advance each individual player‘s unique skills. Encouragement is a necessary ingredient to help upcoming athletes improve, and Esau does an excellent job in making sure that no player is left without feeling encouraged. Esau has done a great deal for our community from volleyball clinics, to coaching, and simply just playing the game itself. All these accomplishments have helped him to stay established and connected throughout his years of living in Chilliwack. He hopes to continue to play as long as possible. So get off Facebook and onto a court. Sports are a great way to connect with people locally in the community.
