City readies for melting snowpack Freshet update for 2012 Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack properties outside city dike protection could be affected if there’s a sudden heat wave or heavy rainfall during the 2012 spring freshet. That was the message at city hall Tuesday in the wake of news from B.C. River Forecast Centre that the overall snowpack is higher than normal in Fraser River watersheds. The high snowpack is looking comparable to the 2007 situation, when many homes and businesses were sandbagged against the threat of flooding. The overall Fraser basin snowpack is at 131 per cent, according to a 2012 freshet update presented by staffer Tara Friesen at the council meeting. Runoff volumes and peak flows of melted snow water will actually depend on how the weather plays out in the coming weeks. “What we don’t want to see is a long, cool spring, and then all of a sudden a hot period with temperatures of more than 25 degrees for more than a week, or heavy rains,” Friesen said. Either of those scenarios would cause water levels to rise quickly. What happens in the Upper Fraser and Thompson is of critical importance to Lower Mainland communities. “They tend to influence the peaks we see down here,” said Friesen. But despite those facts, Chilliwack and other cities on the Fraser will get plenty of advance notice, as it takes a few days travel time for the Continued: FLOOD/ p16

A vase of flowers and three hand-written notes make for a memorial for Darcy Garnot who was the victim of a hit-and-run on First Avenue east of Nowell Street on Sunday evening. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Hit-and-run victim ‘amazing man and father’ Suspected driver arrested, charged Robert Freeman The Progress A 60-year-old Chilliwack man — who just moved here from Alberta — has been arrested in connection with the fatal hit-and-run Sunday on First Avenue. Gary Allain was arrested by police the next morning and charged with criminal negligence causing death and failure to stop at the scene of an accident. Police said the 37-year-old victim and 60-year-old suspect did not know each other.
But the two men had reportedly gotten into a dispute over a dog just before the 7 p.m. incident. RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said Wednesday that she could not comment on the reported argument because the matter is now before the courts. However, a resident near the scene of the hit-and-run said he had seen a man pushing an older man over a cement barrier near the Mac’s convenience store at the corner of First Avenue and Young Road
“and kicking his poodle.” The resident said he did not actually see the hit-and-run, but a few minutes after the altercation a driver in a pickup truck came down First Avenue, briefly honked its horn and struck the victim apparently without hitting the brakes. Hollingsworth said “Darcy Garnot was walking with his girlfriend on the sidewalk east along First Avenue near Nowell Street when a vehicle drove up and struck him from behind.” Garnot was taken by ambulance to the Chilliwack General Hospital where he later died as a result of his injuries, she
said. Garnot’s long-time commonlaw wife Amy told The Progress that although the two had separated about five months ago, she and her two children remained close to Garnot and are “devastated” by the loss. She said Garnot had called her just 40 minutes before the hit-and-run “and wanted to start working toward a better relationship.” “He was crying about how he had treated us, how he was hurting and in pain ... and he said, ‘I love you and I’m sorry for all my bad choices.’” Continued: RCMP/ p6

District, teachers reach agreement on report cards Katie Bartel The Progress Term-two report cards could soon be back on the table for Chilliwack’s elementary school students. The Chilliwack school district and Chilliwack Teachers’ Union (CTA) has developed an agreement regarding term-two report cards for elementary students that both groups believe satisfy their
individual criteria. However, the final decision lies in the hands of the BC Teachers’ Federation and the BC Public School Employers’ Association, as well as an impending B.C. Labour Relations Board (LRB) ruling on whether preparing retroactive report cards, which were scheduled to come out during strike action, is considered struck work. “The provincial scene is having an effect on our local work,” said
superintendent Michael Audet. “We are waiting an official decision,” on whether the Chilliwackspecific agreement will be accepted. CTA president Katharin Midzain is confident the two provincial parties will accept the agreement, but acknowledged the ruling of the LRB could throw a wrench into the plans. “The agreement the CTA and school district have been talking
about certainly honours the work that teachers have already done ... and it will certainly continue to support vulnerable students,” said Midzain. “But what complicates this is the LRB hearing this week. How that will play into this, we really don’t know.” BCPSEA and BCTF have been squaring off in a LRB hearing since Monday regarding report cards. The teachers’ union argues report cards during strike action
are struck work and should not be completed. The employers’ union, however, disagrees. A ruling is expected this week. In Chilliwack, term-three report cards have already started going home for middle and secondary school students. And for elementary students, “hopefully parents will see a report in progress sometime this month,” said Audet. kbartel@theprogress.com
Valley farmers protest heavyhanded measures to protect fish Jeff Nagel Black Press
Richie Seward will be drumming at this weekend’s Spirit of the People Powwow at the Landing Sports Centre. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Traditional powwow returns to Chilliwack Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
4-12H LF19
Spirit of the People Powwow is returning to Chilliwack this weekend for the first time in two years. Aboriginal dancers, drummers and the public will take in all the colourful sights and sounds of a traditional powwow at the Chilliwack Landing Sports Centre on April 20-22. Drummer Richie Seward is excited about participating in the powwow. “I love the drum,” he said. “I go whenever I’m called for drumming at ceremonies and gatherings right across Sto:lo territory. “We lift up the spirits of people in need for various occasions.” His traditional hand drum was made from red cedar, deer hide and antler. For the design
he used the logo from his drum group, Sasquatch Visions. The Spirit of the People Powwow is rising — again — out of the ashes of the once hugely popular Chilliwack Powwow, a competition event which at its pinnacle attracted thousands of people with $50,000 in prize money. “We grew up with that powwow and were always so proud it became one of the biggest powwows in B.C.,” said Francine Douglas, member of the organizing committee. Members of the old committee are still involved, and urging all Chilliwackians to come out for the aboriginal cultural showcase, with arts and crafts vendors and food like Indian tacos, and bannock. A hand drum contest will be in the spotlight once again, as well as specials like men’s fancy, men’s traditional, and
teen girls’ fancy, so it’s shaping up to be a one-of-a-kind powwow event. The return of the hand drum contest at the powwow reflects the Sto:lo cultural practice of using the hand drum to sing traditional and original songs, as opposed to powwow drumming with a large drum in the centre and drummers all around it. “We started this new contest because we wanted to showcase the smaller Sto:lo hand drum,” Douglas said. “It’s a different style of drumming, and it’s a beautiful art form.” There will still be some modest prize money given out in family-sponsored contest specials, so everyone can expect “an extravagant show” of colour, grace and talent. But the difference is there won’t be the large-scale cash prizes of a competition powwow.
“This year the committee is hosting a traditional powwow where dancers and drummers are coming simply to enjoy the spirit of sharing Aboriginal culture through song and dance,” Douglas said. Host drum will be Eya Hey Nakoda, from Alberta. It’s a drum group that’s always been very supportive of the Chilliwack powwow, said Douglas. The emcee is Gerald Sittingeagle. Spirit of the People Powwow day passes are $2 per day and $5 for the weekend with tickets at the door at 45530 Spadina Avenue. To volunteer at the powwow call Maxine Prevost at 604-798-1023 or Maxine.prevost@stolonation.bc.ca or Julie Malloway at Julie.malloway@ stolonation.bc.ca.

More than 25 farmers from the Fraser Valley demonstrated outside the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) headquarters in downtown Vancouver Tuesday, saying their ability to farm is being hurt because endangered fish species have colonized ditches. Farmers from Agassiz, Chilliwack and other parts of the Valley said fisheries officers are unreasonably restricting them from clearing or dredging ditches because they’ve been deemed fish habitat. Ditches that aren’t kept clear can flood farmland, raise the water table and degrade the ability to grow crops or graze cattle, farmers said. “I’m concerned for my farmland,” said Agassiz dairy farmer Gary Wikkerink, adding the allotted time each fall to conduct work in fish streams is too short. Protesters brought two calves to the protest Tuesday to emphasize their point. “It’s caused a lot of concern in the Agassiz area,” said Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman, who organized the protest on behalf of farmers. He said they want consistent enforcement of Fisheries Act rules that require setbacks and protection of fish-bearing streams. Continued: PROTEST/ p15

Doctors drop threat to delay surgeries Jeff Nagel Black Press Anesthesiologists who had threatened to partially withdraw service this month have struck a truce with the provincial government that ends any risk of elective surgery delays for now. The two sides were to be in B.C. Supreme Court starting today (April 18) to argue whether a March 30 interim injunction blocking job action should be made permanent. But on Monday the B.C. Anesthesiologists Society (BCAS) and the health authorities agreed to indefinitely adjourn the court date while efforts continue to resolve the society’s grievances. “Job action is not

Anesthesiologists with the BCAS want to bargain separately, rather than under the umbrella of the B.C. Medical Association, which they say does not represent their interests. The BCAS is now directly appealing to a conciliator named to Physician Master Agreement negotiations to hear its concerns.

“It was our feeling that we shouldn’t be doing any service reductions while we were waiting for an answer from him,” Rains said. He said he is now concerned the BCMA and province are working to bar the BCAS from the conciliation process, adding job action could be pursued again if that’s the case. “That would certainly be an option that we could entertain,” Rains said. The province or the BCAS can terminate the adjournment on 48 hours notice and return to court to argue whether the injunction should stand. The BCAS contends a shortage of operating room staff, including anesthesiologists, kept 10,000 surgeries from being performed last year, the largest proportion of them in the Fraser Health region. Rains said 3,500 more surgeries could have been performed last year in Surrey alone – at Surrey Memorial Hospital and the Jim Pattison outpatient hospital – if operating rooms had not been shut down for extended periods due to a lack of medical staff. The BCAS argues higher pay and more aid for its members would attract more anesthesiologists to B.C. The province says anesthesiologists make about $340,000 a year with almost none of the overhead expenses of other doctors, whose pay has not risen as fast. A spokesman for the health authorities said he was hopeful the BCAS and BCMA could come to a common understanding and rejoin the existing negotiation process.

were charred fibreglass chunks and a partly full container of motor oil among the debris collected. Fines would start at $575 per incident of burning or dumping, said Jacobi. The problem is there is no specific agency tasked with the responsibility for cleaning up after criminal garbage-dumping on Crown lands, especially when there are no licence plate numbers for COS officers to pursue, said Jacobi. “Ideally we want to catch people in the act,” he said.

More than 600 kilograms of toxic garbage will not be floating down the Fraser River as a result of some quick action taken by concerned citizens and agencies. Chris Gadsden of C h i l l i w a c k / Ve d d e r River Cleanup Coalition sparked an emergency two-hour cleanup Thursday when he noticed an entire camper had been gutted, dumped and torched by the river near Old Orchard Road. Gadsden fired off a bunch of emails trying to round up a truck, to various government reps and volunteers to see if they could take preventative action before it was all washed downriver. He reported it on the Conser vation Officer Service’s Report All Poachers & Polluters (RAPP) tip line, and then posted a note on the Fraser Valley Salmon Society’s page. In the end, 610 kg of material was taken to the landfill. The RAPP line is the best way to report a pollution violation, said Sgt. Steve Jacobi, a supervisor of the Fraser Valley zone with COS who showed up to assist with the cleanup along with some fellow officers.
Time was of the essence, in terms of the urgency for the cleanup, because the spring freshet waters are rising on the Fraser right now. The CO said he’s not sure why more people don’t make more reports to the RAPP line when they see stuff like this. The sandbar was on prime fish habitat in one of the greatest wild salmon-producing rivers in the world, with back channels used for sturgeon rearing. “It’s extremely toxic and illegal to burn material like this,” he said pointing to the remains of a camper.

It’s tricky catching the culprits in the act, but it’s important to report pollution anyway. “It’s a total lack of respect for the environment,” said cleanup coalition member Lew Chater. “It’s hard to get all the agencies together to find out and prosecute who is responsible in a case like this. Without Chris and all these people here, it all would have gone down the river.” Volunteers were thanked, along with COS and staff from Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources Operations who brought a truck along, and City of Chilliwack for providing free tipping charges at the Bailey landfill. “We all felt good and I am sure as we did make a difference today,” said Gadsden. Agencies have to come together on this type of thing, he said, as it’s all too common in river access areas along the Fraser like Peg Leg, Gill Road, Agassiz-Rosedale bridge and in the Chilliwack River Valley. Every level of government, from provincial, to federal, to municipal, as well as Fraser Valley Regional District, Outdoor Recreation Council of BC and RCMP need to work together on a plan “to try and address this problem” with resources to enforce laws, and “not just leaving it up to the public as well as organizations that try to deal with these cleanup situations on a yearly basis.” Locking up river access points doesn’t work either. “Closing these areas I mention are not the answer as the people dumping garbage and polluting the environment will just find another place to do so. “It will take a few prosecutions and fines that may help get the message out that such actions will not be tolerated,” Gadsden said. “Besides there are many people that enjoy accessing these areas and treat them with respect so they should not be denied access. “We live in Heart Of The Fraser and we should do more to protect this jewel of a river as well as its riparian zone.”

Chilliwack’s military history continues unbroken: Strahl Robert Freeman The Progress Chilliwack’s long military history will continue, if Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl has his way. “What that (military presence) looks like at the end of the day is still being worked out,” he said. “But (the soldiers) are not going away and that’s a good thing for Chilliwack.” “For me, the bottom line is they’re not going to walk away from Chilliwack,” he said. However, the 18 civilian jobs at the military’s Area Supply Unit (ASU) in Chilliwack appear to be toast. “It’s a fact. The ASU is closing down,” T. Mark Miller, president of the Union of National Defense Employees, said last week. A few civilian employees may be retained at the military rifle range, he said. “Everything is still somewhat fluid” on the
military side, Miller said, but according to his information the army presence in Chilliwack “will be all but gone.” “If the big earthquake ever hits this province and we need troops on the ground ... we’re going to have to wait for them (to come) from Alberta,” he said. Military assistance during B.C. emergencies was one of the arguments for keeping troops at CFB Chilliwack when the Liberal government began talking about budget cutbacks in the early 1990s. The base was eventually closed in 1995 with only the small ASU retained. Now it appears that ASU is also on the chopping block as the Conservative government looks for cost-savings to balance the federal budget. Strahl said as troops are withdrawn from Afghanistan and the armed forces return to “a more normal tempo of operations” the gov-
spokesman in Ottawa. Christian Tessier said the army’s “core capabilities will not be affected” as the support functions of the ASU are transferred “to other nearby Army and CF (Canadian Forces) installations.” Major Wade Brinkman, ASU commander, said in an email to The Progress that there are currently 39 full-time regular force and seven full-time reserve force personnel working at the ASU. He said the ASU provides a full range of administrative support, vehicle maintenance, transport support, supply warehousing, building maintenance and environmental stewardship to all regular force and reserve force units located in or passing through B.C.
ernment is looking for “modest efficiencies to balance military needs with greater value for taxpayer money.” “At this time, it is unclear what the specific impact will be,” Strahl said, but he added that he is “dealing directly” with Defense Minister Peter MacKay’s office staff in Ottawa, who have assured him the military presence in Chilliwack will continue in some form. “We know there will be folks affected, and that’s never an easy thing to pass along,” Strahl said, but the Conservative government is committed to balancing the budget. Few specifics about the projected military presence in Chilliwack was immediately available from a Department of National Defence

It’s about Chilliwack-Hope Voters in the riding of ChilliwackHope head to the polls today. And if you believe the observations and prognostications of the pundits (self-styled and otherwise), the ballots they cast carry with them the fate of the province. Few byelections have drawn as much scrutiny as this one. Even the byelection in Port Moody – where the NDP seem assured a win – lacks the drama and has failed to draw this much analysis. Depending on your perspective, today’s vote will either: • Prove a seminal moment in the resurgence of the NDP; • Be the catalyst for the birth of the BC Conservatives; • Presage the eventual extinction of the BC Liberal party. • Mark the triumph of British Columbia’s “free enterprise coalition.” That the stakes are high in this race, few people can deny. The money spent, the effort invested, and the attention drawn has been remarkable. (Does anyone remember so many party leaders in Chilliwack over such a short time?)
The Chilliwack
But with the campaigning now over, Chilliwack-Hope voters have to remember just two things: First, this is not a referendum on who should govern the province. Voters here are electing the person they feel is best qualified to represent them in Victoria – the person whose ideas and ideals most closely match their own. Folks elsewhere in the province may want them to “send a message” to any of the competing parties. But this election is about Chilliwack-Hope – about securing a strong voice to speak on the riding’s behalf in the legislature. The second key to remember is to vote. Byelections traditionally have a low voter turnout. True, no government will fall on the result, but the significance of an election is not only in its outcome. When people continue to die for the right to have what so many of us take for granted, failing to exercise that right is inexcusable. Polling stations are open until 8 p.m. tonight. If you live in the Chilliwack-Hope riding, and you haven’t voted yet, do it now. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Dumbing down the environmental movement VICTORIA – David Suzuki has resigned as a director of his namesake foundation so it won’t be the target of federal government “attacks.” This news is conveyed to me in a Globe and Mail report that is typically tilted in deference to “Canada’s most famous environmentalist.” The usual assumptions are woven in: Suzuki is a saint. His every utterance is treated as scientific fact, even when it’s a left-wing political rant. The Conservative government is a front for Big Oil that has “attacked” environmental groups by reminding them that political activities are not eligible for charitable tax exemptions. In recent years, the David Suzuki Foundation’s campaign focus has been noticeably in step with the large U.S. foundations that fund most of B.C.’s enviroscare industry: first salmon farming and now the Alberta “tar

Progress
sands” in all its exaggerated horror. Suzuki’s personal activities aren’t easily distinguished from those of his foundation, as was illustrated with his recent CBC documentary that demonized the “tar sands.” Diseased fish were displayed, but natural contamination of the Athabasca River was glossed over. Aboriginal objections were highTom lighted, while FLETCHER local support and economic benefits were overlooked. This isn’t science or charity. It’s tabloid journalism. Sensationalize, ignore facts that weaken the drama, play to people’s emotions. And he expects to be subsidized by the CBC and charitable tax exemptions as well?
This news comes as I finish reading Patrick Moore’s book, Confessions of a Greenpeace Dropout. I was one of many young fans who cheered as Moore, Bob Hunter and the other 1970s Greenpeace pioneers set out from Vancouver to disrupt Soviet nuclear testing, and then turned to the regime’s slaughter of whales. In 1986, Moore split with Greenpeace and worked to set up a family chinook salmon farm. He said Greenpeace opposed aquaculture because it destroys tropical mangrove swamps. Tropical prawn farms have no rational connection with B.C., but a global organization needs simple ideas that sell. This approach was seen in an earlier 1980s campaign against chlorine in pulp mills. Greenpeace protests against dioxins and the herbicide 2,4,5-T were eventually dumbed down to opposing the
use of chlorine in all industries, including production of PVC plastic. Pulp mills developed a way to eliminate trace dioxins from their production, but that didn’t matter once Greenpeace had a global campaign going. They still used chlorine, so they’re bad. Speaking of chlorine, PCBs are polychlorinated biphenyls, a persistent background toxin. Tests found levels three to five times higher in some wild salmon compared to farmed. But the wild salmon results were ignored in a 2004 study, used by Suzuki to depict farmed salmon as poisonous. His foundation’s salmon farm campaign quietly disappeared down the memory hole after its PCB claims were debunked. Moore highlighted another bit of greenwashing in a visit to Victoria last year. The vaunted “LEED” certification for green building standards gives you

points if your concrete is locally sourced, but no points for using wood instead. That’s because the long campaign by major environmental groups has devolved to “logging is bad.” Here’s the latest example. Greenpeace, ForestEthics and the Sierra Club were bankrolled by U.S. foundations to negotiate with the B.C. government, aboriginal people and forest companies for the 2006 “Great Bear Rainforest” agreement on the B.C. coast. Economic opportunity was delicately balanced against preservation, and First Nations gained new control of forests. Now the big enviros have begun campaigning against their own deal. As much as 50 per cent could still be logged, they say. It seems this particular green peace is bad for their business.

Const. Curtis Milman (left) and Const. Matt Wright watch for speeding drivers travelling eastbound along First Avenue on Thursday morning. The officers were using their radar guns as part of the ‘three strikes, you’re out’ program, which also features three large, yellow, diamond-shaped signs spread out over several hundred metres. The first sign, ‘Strike 1’, was set up at a posted speed limit sign, ‘Strike 2’ was beside Chilliwack’s Speed Watch team and its speed reader board, and ‘Strike 3’ was standing alongside the RCMP officers (above).

Chilliwack drivers the worst Re: What’s your hurry? (Chilliwack Progress letters, April 17) In my 58 years of driving – some spent in the oil patch – Chilliwacker’s are the worst driv-

be overly worried about keeping up. If you drive at the limit, stay right on the freeway you’ll be fine. The best way to get rid of a tailgater is ease up on the gas.

Electric car plans need answers are electric car owners going to pay for these electric charging stations? Currently approximately 50 per cent of the price of gas and diesel is made up of taxes, fees and gas station operating costs, not to mention the
carbon tax. Maybe electric cars should be equipped with “smart meters” to calculate the taxes, fees and charging station costs that will be charged against the owner. On the other hand why not just add an electric car subsidy fee of 10 or 15
cents a liter on gas and diesel. Ordinar y car drivers seem to pay for everything else so why not pay a subsidy to electric car owners? Let’s hear your plan Madam Premier. Jack Carradice Chilliwack

Mayors to mull new RCMP contract Holdout cities under pressure to sign or switch police Jeff Nagel Black Press RCMP-policed cities will weigh whether to ratify a new 20-year contract with the Mounties later this week but it’s not yet clear if they will get the answers they seek. Several cities have held off signing the new contract, citing confusion over the costs of a surprise pay increase for RCMP officers adopted last month as the new policing contract was unveiled. A province-wide conference call with cities is slated for
Thursday and Lower Mainland mayors with RCMP detachments meet Friday morning in Surrey to discuss the issues. Cities were notified in May of 2011 that Ottawa expected to pass RCMP pay hikes of 1.5 per cent in each of the next three years. But those increases ended up higher, at 1.75 per cent for 2012 retroactive to Jan. 1, 1.5 per cent in 2013 and two per cent in 2014 and cities are still waiting for detail on other elements of the compensation package that could drive the overall cost higher yet. “What caught us off guard was the magnitude of the changes to the whole pay package,” said Langley City Mayor Peter Fassbender, who was the municipal rep in negotiations towards the new RCMP contract. He said he’s still awaiting infor-

mation from Ottawa, particularly on whether promised administrative savings will offset the higherthan-expected pay hikes. “We still don’t have all of the facts in front of us.” Several cities have said they are waiting for better answers before they will approve the new contract. But if they don’t sign by the end of the month, Fassbender said holdout cities are effectively giving notice they will terminate the RCMP in two years and switch to a municipal force. He said he’s urging other mayors to sign the contract because it will deliver much more accountability and give cities much greater say on spending decisions. Richmond and Nor th Vancouver District are among the cities that say the deadline is too soon for them to comply.

A 45-year-old man was beaten in a home invasion after waking up to find three masked men had broken into his east Chilliwack home. “Two of the occupants of the residence, who were sleeping in the same room, woke up and were confronted by the men, one of whom was armed with a weapon,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said. “A significant amount of jewelry and cash was stolen and the thieves fled,” she said. The male victim was taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Police believe the house may have been targeted, but there is no indication the suspects and victims knew each other. “Investigators are trying to determine why (the) suspects targeted this occupied home, and hope to locate the men responsible for this attack,” Hollingsworth said. “At this point, the investigation has also revealed that neither the occupants of the home, nor the address are associated to any drug-related activity,” she said. Three people were in the house when police were called at about 2:20 a.m. Anyone with information is asked to call RCMP Const. Julie Bauer at 604-702-4229 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS.

program will be implemented at all school sites where all recyclables – paper, plastics, metals and other such containers – will be collected in one bin and shipped to a separate facility for sorting. As well, a composting and removal service will also be provided at Chilliwack secondary and Sardis secondary to complement the food programs offered at those schools. First Class Waste Services was awarded the contract and will be working concurrently with Super Save Disposal, the district’s current waste removal provider. Surely good news for parent Kristina Daneluz, who spoke at a recent board of education meeting imploring the district to look into more environmentally friendly options for waste removal. While Super Save Disposal provides a recycling service for paper and cardboard, there is no place for plastic containers, tin cans, pop cans, or sandwich bags – all items that could theoretically be recycled.
“Schools are still producing metals, glasses, plastics, but there’s nowhere to put it,” said Daneluz, who has a child attending Sardis elementary. “We need to be thinking of garbage as collect, sort and sell, not collect and dump. There are things we’re throwing in the landfill and burying that we could actually be sorting and selling.” Daneluz believes recycling is a behaviour that can be changed, and said the school district needs to lead by example. “If you make it easy for people, the more likely they will do it,” she said. However, because the school district is under contract with Super Save Disposal until 2014, it can’t implement major change until that contract expires. In two years time, when the Super Save Disposal contract is up, the school district will again review its options. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

PROTEST from p3 “Fisheries officers seem to have a lot of discretion in how they interpret it,” he said. “That really bothers them.” Bateman said farmers want to influence the outcome of Ottawa’s expected rewrite of the Fisheries Act, which environmental groups fear will seriously weaken fish habitat safeguards. “It’s coming down to the usual battle between big business and environmental values,” he said. “Nobody is looking at how it affects small farm property owners.” The Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation has launched a petition calling for Fisheries Act reform to support farmers. The petition is online at www.taxpayer.com. Farmers aren’t the only ones affected. One Agassiz home owner said a new 30-metre construction setback from a creek that runs through his land means he would not have space to rebuild if his house ever burns down. “If they get the setback they want, it makes the my value of my place disappear,” Alan Callander said. “It makes it worthless.” Wilderness Committee policy director Gwen Barlee said farmers may have some legitimate concerns over fishery issues. “But we don’t want to be rolling back environmental standards,” she said. “If we can’t protect fish habitat, there’s no way to protect fish.” Ecojustice staff scientist Susan Pinkus said recovery strategies launched by the federal fisheries department to protect two endangered species found in small Valley streams – the Salish sucker and the Nooksack dace – may have angered farmers, because the department mishandled communications with those affected. She said only one per cent of the critical habitat of the Salish sucker is in ditches, although some streams also run through farms, triggering large setbacks. Fisheries and Oceans Canada officials could not be reached for comment.

in non-organically grown foods. This is important to note because part of the reason we grow fresh vegetables is to receive the many vitamins and minerals found in fresh vegetables. I admire the folks who try to grow one hundred percent organiBrian cally, but MINTER sometimes it’s not as easy. I personally believe that lots of organic manure and compost used in a garden and supplemented with some organicallybased fertilizers is a practical solution.

amount of labour and cost. How you solve this area of concern is up to you, of course. When you get down to planting seeds, there are a few tips I’d like to share. First of all, ‘bargain seeds’ are not a bargain! Buy the best hybrid and old reliable varieties that work well in your garden, but also keep experimenting with new varieties to see if you can improve the flavour, versatility and production time. I freeze all my vegetable seeds for 48 hours before sowing to help stratify them. This should speed up and improve germination. Most people plant their seeds far too deep. The deeper you go, the colder and damper it is down there. Keep your seeds up high where it’s warmer and drier. That’s why raised

the landscape is often a good idea. Insects and diseases come and go in rather predictable cycles, and if you break up that cycle, you may just minimize some pesky problems. In the Lower Mainland, once your garden is cultivated and ready for planting, apply some Dolopril lime at the rate of one bag per 2000 square feet. Not only does it make the soil less acidic, but it also adds valuable magnesium and the calcium that tomatoes need so much. Remember, however, that potatoes and lime do not get on well together, so keep lime away from the spud-growing area. Compost can be added any time over the spring planting period, but it is most beneficial applied when rototilling or cultivating the garden soil. Many of the nutrients in organic compost and manures are quickly available, and some are lost if left in the soil too long before the plants go in. Speaking of compost, a research paper from Rutger’s University compared the mineral content of ‘organically grown’ versus ‘inorganically grown’ vegetables, and the difference was astounding. According to this report, there are 87.83 percent fewer minerals and trace elements

Make good use of space in your garden beds are always so effective. For difficult-to-germinate varieties, like carrots, parsnips and beets, try throwing them in a plastic bag with a tablespoon of rooting powder. Shake the bag up thoroughly to coat the seed before planting, and see if that doesn’t help. The last concern I have is the amount of space we use for our gardens. Maybe it’s just me, but I often wonder why most European and Oriental gardeners have small gardens and most of us have huge ones. The fact is that we are needlessly wasting space, fertilizer, compost, water and oodles of time in our gardens. Keep your pathways to a minimum and increase

the size of your rows. Wide-row gardening is the norm around the world, except in North America. Wide-row gardening is space saving and allows a longer harvest period. The outside vegetables always mature first, while the ones on the inside, because they are more shaded, mature later. Now that daytime temperatures are up around 10°C and we seem to be past night frosts, most cool loving vegetables can go in now. Be patient, however, when it comes to planting tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers etc. They need temperatures well above 10°C. Usually the end of May is the right time to plant these heat lovers. Have a nice weekend in your garden!

We ask our muscles to go through repetitive patterns for us every day. Whether we are sitting at the computer or taking the dog out for a walk, we can develop restrictions that become all too familiar. You know the spots: that knot between your shoulder blades that only a door jamb can relieve, the stiffness in the back of your neck after a long day, and not to mention the achy feet after standing for hours at work! Massage therapy is merely one of many modalities that go a long way in promoting muscle balance, releasing those nasty restriction patterns and even helping you to say goodbye to your door jamb! For those of us who can’t get in to see our favourite practitioner, an old stand- by for those pesky points is a simple tennis ball. Find an open space to lie down or a spare piece of wall and place the tennis ball between you and it. Take your time and remember to breathe as you roll out the offending restriction!

All that jazz in Chicago “We hope to see you in our beautiful G.W. Graham Theatre to enjoy the mesmerizing romp that is Chicago,” she said. The original Broadway production of Chicago opened June 3, 1975, at the 46th Street Theatre and ran for 936 performances. Bob Fosse choreographed the original production, and his style is strongly identified with the show. Chicago’s 1996 Broadway revival holds the record for the longestrunning musical revival on Broadway and is its fourth longest-running show. The Academy Award-winning film version (2002) of Chicago was directed by Rob Marshall and starred Catherine Zeta-Jones, Renee Zellweger, Richard Gere, John C. Reilly, and Queen Latifah. The Graham Musical Theatre program

kicked off in 2008, developed by Janine and Matthew Webster, and runs outside the regular school hours. It’s a performance-based course in which students work toward staging a professionalmusical theatre production, thereby experiencing the value of interdependent, cooperative activity, and the responsibility that it entails. “It’s primarily to encourage a lifelong appreciation for the performing arts through the medium of musical theatre performance,” said Webster. Chicago, April 22-28, G.W. Graham, matinee tickets are $10, and evening performances from Tuesday to Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at $15. Tickets at London Drugs, Save-On Foods (Vedder), and at G.W.

Chicago — one of the longest-running Broadway shows ever — is days away from opening in Chilliwack. Performers in the G.W. Graham Musical Theatre Program are staging the musical Chicago April 22-28 in the G.W. Graham Theatre. There’s even a Sunday matinee preview on April 22 at 1 p.m. With a strong cast of 22 and a jazzy 13-piece orchestra, the show is a burlesque satire of the sensationalist media and corrupt justice system of the 1920s. It has captivating and well-known songs like All That Jazz, The Cell Block Tango, and Razzle Dazzle. “This show will have you humming and toe-tapping long after the final curtain,” says director Janine Webster.
It’s a rare chance to see rock legends Chilliwack in a small venue. The May 5 show is a special fundraiser to offer much-needed support for the Harrison Festival Society. “Chilliwack and Bill Henderson are synonymous with the early days of West Coast rock and roll,” said organizer Ed Stenson. Emerging from the ashes of psychedelia in 1969, the band Chilliwack released 12 albums over a 15-year period putting out Canadian and international hits like Fly At Night, Arms Of Mary, California Girl and My Girl (Gone Gone Gone). Now in their fortieth year of music-making, and with the live CD There and Back still winning over fans, the band is still rocking like never before. The event features live performance, silent auction, raffle and door prizes, with appies and refreshments served. Chilliwack, May 5, Harrison Memorial Hall, 7:30 p.m., Tickets $75 (+ hst), with a $30 tax receipt issued. Tickets 604 796-3664 or online at www.harrisonfestival.com.

Help get local film made
Free time just got sweeter.
Filmmaker Shane Monahan is trying to make a high-quality film on a shoestring budget of $10,000. It hasn’t been easy to raise the capital for his exciting crime thriller Musket, so he and some of his friends from Vancouver Film School went the crowd funding route. “It’s the only way,” he said. The script of his first feature film made it to the finals of a prestigious scriptwriting contest with its twin themes of fate and love between sisters. Most of scenes will be shot in Chilliwack, and at Bridal Falls. Monahan has been raising cash for the allCanadian film project since January, and the online campaign runs until April 23 at indiegogo.com. So far they’ve brought in more than $3,000 for the project but there is only a short time left to help make it happen.

Community activist and author Jean Scott of Chilliwack is turning 100 this week. To celebrate this auspicious occasion, the University of the Fraser Valley, which gave Scott an honorary degree in 2002, is throwing her a birthday party on Friday afternoon in the Rotary Hall studio theatre of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Scott shares her birthday with Queen Elizabeth, so this year’s party will have a royal theme. Dubbed Jean’s Jubilee, it will be a “very proper” party, where hat and gloves are optional. But there will be a booth on-site to borrow those items at the event. Jean’s Jubilee will be a fundraiser for the Jean Scott Endowment Scholarship, which hands out a scholarship to a UFV student every year. The aim of the scholarship is to help make improvements in Canadian women’s lives by supporting education on social and political issues that impact equality. To attend, rsvp to Kandie Husband at UFV’s Development office at kandie.husband@ufv.ca or by calling 604-792-0025, local 4595.

Comedian weaves verbal tapestry of laughs Ron James brings his gut-busting humour to Chilliwack Cultural Centre on May 3. With five television comedy specials under his belt and The Ron James Show into its third successful season on CBC-
TV Fridays at 8 p.m., Canada’s busiest and best-selling comedian takes to the road with a new “gut-bustingly, knee-slappingly funny” 90-minute rant they’re calling Ron James... Live! From MAC-savvy
twenty-something tattooed techno-geeks to the mid-life angst of whiny, aging Baby Boomers, James weaves a verbal tapestr y of trademark laughs that audiences and media alike have endorsed from coast

Return-it milk – Good news facts for Earth Day 2012
Fact: Over the past five years, the volume of milk containers returned to participating Return-It-Depots has tripled. Fact: Recycled milk jugs are made into everything from new bottles, plastic buckets and pails. Milk cartons are turned into pulp and used to make household tissue products, cardboard boxes and writing papers.
Fact: Last year, 15 million milk jugs and cartons were recycled by British Columbians. Fact: If you were to stand upright and side by side 15 million jugs and cartons (averaging 10 centimeters each), the distance would cover from Vancouver to Prince George – and back. Fact: The total volume returned: 630,000 kilograms.

Earth Day in Chilliwack Chilliwack residents will have a chance to learn more about environmental sustainability and green living at a special Earth Day celebration this Saturday. It’s a chance to be part of something big and do it with others. This is a great way to learn how to garden, grow organic vegetables, meet your farmers and local artists and shop owners. “Earth Day Chilliwack is about bringing community together, learning, sharing and being part of creating a sustainable city,” said Dayna Fidler, one of the event organizers, and a SOL farmer. Earth Day is something Chilliwack residents should celebrate everyday but organizers hope to showcase how Chilliwack can make the Earth a better place together one day of the tear. The event is being held at 45195 Wells Road at the Mathieson Center on Earth Day, (April 21) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. This will be the official community garden launch and to help celebrate the Sto:lo Nation will be doing the opening cere-
monies. That will be followed by an official ribbon cutting from Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz. Food always brings people together and with vendors and entertainment including: local organic farmers, businesses and organizations, plant sales, artists, artisans, interactive demonstrations, panel discussions, live music, activities for kids and many opportunities to purchase and eat some amazing food this event is shaping up to be big. There’s a barbecue lunch set for noon and throughout the day there will be garden tours, as well as lots of goodies and organics to purchase and lots of earth-related tips to learn about. The day-long event has the potential to unite everyone around some common ideas like the need for enhanced food security. “This is going to be a great event for all ages connecting with many amazing community members in our Fraser Valley, says Fidler. This is a great opportunity to come learn about our food system and meet some amazing local farmers.
Organizers are also excited to announce the first year of offering an organic community supported agriculture (CSA) veggie box program through the gardens. This event will help you connect and have the opportunity to sign up with the various local farmers and join an amazing season full of fresh and organic produce. Also at the event, Chilliwack moms will be partaking in the Great Cloth Diaper Change. Last year The Great Cloth Diaper Change had 6,363 total participants from 203 sites in 10 countries. This year, it’s hoping for more. In Chilliwack, the event will take place at the Mathieson Centre, (45195 Wells Road), at 9 a.m. on April 21. There will be other Earth Day events around the community. Drop by the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve between 1-4 pm and celebrate Earth Day Sunday April 22 . Help plant shrubs, do a nature craft and watch the nesting herons. Guided Walk at 1:30 Intro to Bird Watching. www.chilliwackblueheron.com

The Chilliwack Chicks are a local group of women who came together initially to complete the Run for the Cure in Abbotsford. One of the chicks was herself just recovering from breast cancer and wanted to complete the run in order to raise funds for the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. Many of her friends and colleagues joined the team to support her and the Chilliwack Chicks were born (or hatched). That first year, the team raised over $12,000 and won the award at the run for top womenโ s fundraising team. The women became so passionate about the cause that they started to arrange other events to raise money. To date, a total of $35,000 has
been raised. And this is where the Chicks need your help. The group hopes to raise $50,000 by the end of 2012. One of the ways that people can support the Chicks is to attend their main fundraiser for 2012 which is to be held at the Evergreen Hall on April 28. If the Chicks know

one thing, they know how to put the fun into fundraising. There will be the usual silent auction, raffle and 50/50 but there will also be one or two other fun events on the evening. There will be live music by Chilliwackโ s very own Chill-Billies, a light buffet supper and a cash bar. Tickets are just $25 and can be purchased at Suzanneโ s on Vedder or by calling team Captain Trish Knight at 604-858-7028. Says Knight: โ Breast cancer touches the lives of so many families. It isnโ t just women who are affected; it is the husbands and the children too.

Early Years
My grandfather had a tremendous positive influence in my life. He was a man that experienced great success through honesty and hard work. But life was not easy for him as he spent his youth in an orphanage and then World War II. The values that my grandfather entrenched in me still hold today.
My name is Heather and I am a mother of two. I have a 9 year old and an 8 month old. Some of the best things about Better Beginnings are the connections I’ve made with other mothers who have come, and the connections with resources such as Child Development and the Health Unit.
One of them is simple, give back to your community when you can. I believe that a strong community is a result of a solid foundation that supports the short-term social needs of its community members.
I feel more confident and that I’m not alone with some of the feelings I’ve had towards motherhood. And that I’m not the only one going through what I am, and that helps a lot. Better Beginnings is a helpful and wonderful program that I recommend strongly to any mother expecting or with a young child.

Progress Eric
Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com
Gyro field being turfed for turf Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Oh gyro field. We hardly knew ye. Four weeks ago, Chilliwack MLA John Les swooped into town with a $250,000 provincial grant in hand, announcing the imminent construction of an all-weather gyro field. Cheers and clapping from all. At the time, Chilliwack FC president Andrea Laycock tempered her enthusiasm, noting that it was ‘better than nothing.’ She expressed hope that the city would eventually turn it into a turf pitch. Now, according to a report from city staff, it looks like her wish will be granted. The report recommends the deferral of the gyro field project and directs staff to begin planning for construction of a new artificial turf field in 2013. Cheers and clapping from all. “It’s great to have a forward thinking council and staff,” Laycock said Wednesday morning. The gyro field was to be installed at the farthest end of Townsend Park, adjacent to the sewage treatment plant. The artificial turf field approved Tuesday by council won’t be going there. Rather, it will replace the grass pitch at Exhibition Stadium. “Selfishly, we’d love to see Townsend Park developed, and we’ll work with the city to make it happen,” Laycock said. “But really it’s six of one, half dozen of the other.
Having that artificial turf field anywhere gives us the ability to get more of our kids training on that surface.” Another main occupant of Exhibition Stadium is the BC Football Conference Chilliwack Huskers. New head coach Tyson St. James said the turfing of that pitch could be hugely beneficial to his team. “This team has struggled in the past with field time, lighting and venues for practices,” he noted. “Having one consistent place to practice and play games would give this team a new identity, improve recruiting potential and give our players a better concept of home field.” The city’s long-term financial plan called for an artificial turf field to be built by 2016. Les’s provincial grant allowed for the change in plans. By advancing the project three years, the city deferred the gyro field project and funneled its $580,000 cost towards the artificial turf project. The provincial grant also helps reduce the city’s cost for the new field by an additional $250,000. The estimated cost range for the new field is now between $1.7 and $2 million, but councillor Jason Lum believes that will be money very well spent. “It’s really important that we continue to build on some the facilities we already have, and our infrastructure,” Lum said at the council meeting. “It helps build our competitive economic edge, and something
like this helps us get up there competing for tournaments with places like Kamloops, which calls itself the City of Tournaments.” “I would like to see us attracting more tournaments to Chilliwack, since it brings people who stay in local hotels and eat in our restaurants.” City staff laid out several compelling reasons for the change of plans. The gyro field would have been a durable rock dust surface requiring little maintenance. But its unyielding surface, closely resembling a baseball infield, would have been quite miserable to play on. “Unfortunately, the surface is not a favourite for user groups because it is hard wearing on both the players and the equipment,” the report read. While the gyro pitch would have been well used in the bad-weather months (November to March), it would have sat idle the rest of the year as user groups gravitated to grass. Replacing a grass field with artificial turf allows for 8-10 times the amount of activity and year-round demand. “The multi-sport surface would provide superior drainage and year-round availability which would permit the amount of annual usable hours to increase from 160 hours per year on grass to 1,900 prime-time hours per year on turf,” the report observed. “For our little guys (mini ball in the fall), when the field at Fairfield Island clos-
Old Settler Pub’s Justin DePodesta stops a point-blank shot by Timberwood Young Guns’ Ivan Lindhout in Saturday’s semi-final of the Art Hall Memorial tournament, played at the Tzeachten Sports Field in Chilliwack.

es, that’s a minimum of 800 kids that don’t play,” Laycock added. “That’s very frustrating when you’re trying to provide a service to the community and you can’t. This gives us the chance to potentially move programs around, possibly relocating mini-ball to turf.” The gyro field would have been completed this year where the turf won’t be done till next. But Laycock said the end result will be more than worth the wait. “It’s of no issue to us,” she said. “We can go through another season of closures, and this is certainly way better than waiting until 2016.”

First, we show kids that golf is about a lot more than ugly pants and strict rules, writes Jennifer Greggain One of the questions I get asked most as an instructor is ‘How do I get my kid involved with golf?’ The answer is simple. Have fun, and be creative. If a child does not enjoy a new skill, it is less likely they will return to it. If Dad brings his six-year-old daughter, Sally, to the golf course for the first time, and she spends only five minutes hitting range balls, 20 minutes raking the sand trap, and then enjoys an ice cream at the end, Sally will certainly ask Dad to bring her golfing again. Sally has associated golf with a positive first experience. Next, be creative in how you teach. The most successful junior programs focus not just on specific golf techniques, but also incorporate fundamental movement skills. This helps kids develop physical literacy at an appropriate age. Introducing physical literacy to kids is a movement that has brought life to all sports through Canadian Sport For Life’s Active for Life model. Abbotsford’s PacificSport heads up the Fraser Valley region, which provides opportunities in physical literacy for anyone involved with children and sport. The idea is that a child must first learn a series of basic movement skills, which can then be used in the future for many different sports, developing a healthy and active lifestyle that will last a lifetime. “Children who have learned fundamental movement skills can learn anything,” according to the activeforlife.ca website. “As children learn new movement skills, their opportunities grow.” This also holds true for golf. When teaching kids how to swing a club for the first time, I will first let them throw golf balls out onto the range. Why is this successful? First, it’s fun. Second, it teaches them a fundamental skill without them knowing it; how to properly weight shift. When we go to the chipping green, I set up a station where they need to toss a ball, underhand, into a basket from different distances. Why is this important in teaching the concept of chipping to a child? Again, it’s fun! Second, they are thinking about trajectory and distance control, and what their body does to accomplish this. On the putting green, I set up a ‘rolling’ station, where kids roll balls to different targets. How is rolling a ball like putting? If you haven’t caught on yet, it’s fun! But it also teaches kids how to aim at and hit a target, how to control distance, and how to read greens. The best part is that they don’t even know they’re learning how to golf! In implementing the Active for Life model in junior golf programs, we accomplish a number of goals. First, we show kids that golf is about a lot more than ugly pants and strict rules. It’s also fun. Second, by teaching kids fundamental movement skills, we reinforce skills that are not only important to their golf games, but also to many other sports they may be interested in.

DYBLE William Leslie
(Les) William Leslie (Les) Dyble passed away peacefully surrounded by family on Tuesday, April DYBLE 17, 2012 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital at the age of 66 years. He was born on Jan. 26, 1946 in Chilliwack, BC. Les is survived by his loving wife of 43 years, Laurelli, daughter Stefanne Sutherland (Kevin), son Russ (Eden), grandson Connor, granddaughter Sydney, sisters Marie Ward (Eugene), June Hendrickson (Ron) and Doreen Currie (Gordon), and numerous other extended family. He was predeceased by his father, William Dyble, mother Kathleen Dyble (nee Knight) and sister Louise Cochrane. Les felt totally blessed to have two amazing grandchildren and spent as much time as possible with them both. He was a regular spectator at all of Connor’s hockey games and Sydney would be the first to state that no one has a more comfortable lap than her Grandpa. Connor was often Grandpa’s sidekick and helped him do chores at the barn and tend to the animals while Sydney would ride on Grandpa’s lap on the tractor. He was as devoted to his grandchildren as he was to Russ and Stefanne. Les was extremely proud of his kids and their accomplishments. Les has been a long time resident of the Chilliwack/ Sardis area and is a descendant of two pioneer families: The Halls and The Knights. He is well known in the agricultural environment as he has continually served as a
“bovine technician” (farmer) in the Green Heart of the Fraser Valley. Most recently, Les and his son, Russ, have worked side by side in the cattle industry involving cattle brokerage and transportation and meat sales. Dyble Livestock and Dyble Meat Sales are household names within our community. Les and Laurelli had the opportunity to travel together and experience different cultures in various parts of the world. When not on the high seas or flying abroad, they spent many years enjoying their RV as members of Holiday Trails and the campfires are too numerous to count! Not only did he make Laurelli happy with frequent shopping trips, he thoroughly enjoyed shopping himself. He was, indeed, a very unique man who loved life, loved people and loved animals. He was a gentle giant with an enormous heart! And, of course, he was an avid sports fan, hockey in particular, and has supported the Chilliwack Bruins and Chilliwack Chiefs over the years. Les was also a Volunteer Fireman with Hall #4 in Sardis for 25 years. Les has touched the hearts of many in the Fraser Valley and he will be sorely missed by all who knew him. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, April 21, 2012 at 11:00 am at Carman United Church, 7258 Vedder Road, Chilliwack, BC. A viewing for family and friends will be held on Friday, April 20, 2012 from 7-9 pm at Henderson’s Funeral Home, 45901 Victoria Avenue, Chilliwack, BC. In lieu of flowers, and in keeping with the spirit of Les Dyble, donations may be made to the Chilliwack SPCA, 6797 Hopedale Road, Chilliwack, BC. The Dyble family would like to express their enormous gratitude for the superb care Les received at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital Intensive Care Unit. The ICU doctors and staff were exceptional. Also, a special thanks to the surgeon, Dr. Lewis, who pulled Les through the initial very serious and complex surgery. The knowledge and quick actions of Dr. Mummery and staff at Chilliwack General Hospital Emergency Unit, as well as BC Ambulance Paramedics played a vital role in the timely diagnosis and transportation of Les to Abbotsford for treatment.
RODEWALT Van
Van Rodewalt was born in Robsart, Saskatchewan on June 6th, 1918 and was one of five children. RODEWALT His parents emigrated from Hamburg, Germany and were homesteaders. Later they moved to the Peace River country where he and his older brother Hans had a dray business where they hauled ice and lumber for the city of Grande Prairie. Van served in the army during the war in a hydraulics plant at Canadian Forces Base Petawawa, Ontario. He returned to the Peace River country after the war and married Rose Cousineau and they had 3 children. During that time he trained as an electrician and worked on the famous DEW line in Canada’s North, often maintaining hundreds of miles of remote communication stations alone. He learned to love the North and events that took place there became some of his favorite stories. Horses were his passion and when he and his wife moved to the Edmonton area in the early fifties he called his properties Rainbow Ranches. He owned many hundreds of horses over his long life but perhaps his favorite was a beautiful palomino stallion with a white mane and tail called Belvederes Royal Banner that had won at the CNE in Toronto. He started the successful Rainbow Valley Saddle Club in South Edmonton in an area known then as White Mud Creek. His horses were in demand constantly for parades, where they won prizes, and at rodeos. Two memorable rodeo horses were 10-66 and Windsplitter. He supplied broncs for Harry Vold for years and worked with Tommy Dorchester in the early development of a mix of breeds that would become the exciting chuckwagon horses of today. A common sight in those days was the man in the cowboy hat behind the wheel of the truck with Rainbow Ranches painted in the side with the pure white German Shepherd in the back. Everybody knew Van. He and his wife Rose
coffeebreak
would retire to Chilliwack BC in the early seventies but he kept his hand in the business of horses by operating a tack shop. He was one of the last of his kind who could step off a harness (estimate), go cut it and it would fit perfectly. The government of BC wanted him to start a school to teach harness-making but he declined. But Van was a people person too and had many friends. Helping people was something that he loved to do and he did it often. He also sponsored children in the Dominican Republic which he took the time to travel to and visit. Van was predeceased by his wife Rose in 1992 and by his brothers Hans and Gordon and his sisters Elsie and Laurie. He has a surviving brother Larry who lives in St. Albert. He will be greatly missed by his 3 children: Vance, Darcy Lea, and Nancy; as well as 4 grandchildren: Kelly, Keir, Vale and Quinn; and 3 greatgrandchildren, Vayden, Sage, and Vallon. Van Rodewalt passed away peacefully in his own home in Chilliwack BC at the age of 93 on April 11, 2012. Funeral services will be held at St. Thomas Church, 46048 Gore Ave., Chilliwack, BC V2P 1Z6 on Friday, April 20 at 1:00 pm. In lieu of flowers the family asks that a contribution be made to the SPCA if you wish.
