Clerical error delays district budget approval Katie Bartel The Progress A clerical error had the school district starting over with its 2012-13 budget approval process at Tuesday night’s school board meeting. Chilliwack trustees were advised by staff to rescind all motions presented at the May 8 board of education meeting and start anew. “This really is a Murphy’s Law budget,” said secretary treasurer Maureen Carradice. “It was well and truly a clerical error and some miscommunications between our staff and the trustees.” The error, which was spotted by one of the local newspapers, had $2.4 million allocated under the estimated salary costs when it should have been allocated to support staff costs. As well, there was a typographical error in the budget’s total amount in the May 8 motions that were presented. “The bottom line reality of this whole situation is this, we have quite a number of people at the senior level of this organization in new roles... we’ve also been quite short staffed through most of the year,” said Carradice, who has been doing double duty as secretary treasurer and director of human resources for the past year. “So the truth is, we didn’t proofread the documents as well as we probably should have.” The positive that came out of the situation when corrected, however, revealed that despite an estimated increase of three full-time equivalent teachers for the next school year there will be a $2.1 million reduction in teacher salary and benefit costs. The reason is due to teachers at the high-end pay scale retiring and being replaced by entry level teachers. Continued: BUDGET/ p15

Chris Byra chaired the steering committee that drafted the new Agriculture Area Plan. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Ag area plan reflects Chilliwack’s roots Jennifer Feinberg The Progress There may always be some sort of urban/ rural divide when it comes to farming in Chilliwack. But the city is on a path to becoming “a centre of excellence” for agriculture under a new Agriculture Area Plan, with a keen emphasis on education, best practices and sustainability. “This is a land-use plan to support agriculture, but it’s also looking at the urban/rural divide,” said Chris Byra, a local veterinarian who chaired the plan’s steering committee. Contained in the plan are strategies to address some of challenges, ways to support land-use planning and the long-term sustainability of the agricultural industry. The plan’s preamble makes it clear what a

critical economic engine the ag sector represents in Chilliwack, with 800 farms providing more than 4,500 jobs and generating $600 million in economic activity. “The plan provides a strong map of what the agricultural community is all about, and a good steering document for the future,” said CEPCO president John Jansen. “It inventories the requirements of agriculture, along with demonstrating its impact.” Drafted under the leadership of the Chilliwack Agricultural Commission, and with input from stakeholders, the plan was first presented to council in March. Council approved introduction and first reading of the text amendment to include the ag plan in the OCP last Tuesday. One of the long-term goals is to help make the agricultural industry become increasingly

progressive. The ag landscape in Chilliwack is dominated by dairy, poultry, nursery and greenhouse producers, and 67 per cent of the land base is located with the Agricultural Land Reserve. “Chilliwack will become a centre of excellence in agriculture focusing on industry innovation and sustainability and emphasizing education, communication, conservation, and environmental responsibility,” reads a section of the plan. “The agricultural industry will become increasingly progressive.” The plan looks at the interface irritants like noise, dust and odours, and recommends solutions within a timeline, as well as the potential opportunities and new partnerships arising. The vision includes stronger working relationships between city representatives, Continued: AG/ p6

District rejects return to two-week spring break Katie Bartel The Progress Next year will still just be a oneweek spring break for Chilliwack students. Despite all indicators leaning towards a two-week spring break being implemented for the 2012-13 school year, Chilliwack trustees were advised at Tuesday’s meeting to continue with the status quo. Superintendent Michael Audet said he felt more discussion between district staff and the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association (CTA) was required in order to

make a well-informed decision. However, because local school calendars must be passed by May 31 every year, “this deadline does not allow time for further discussions,” he said. The school district started looking into the feasibility of implementing an extended spring break in February. That’s because next year’s spring break falls on the week prior to the Easter long weekend, meaning students would return to school on the Monday and be back on holidays for Good Friday four days later. An online survey was conducted

on the school district’s website seeking input from parents, students, employees and other partner groups. The survey had 2,421 total responses. Nearly half the responses were from parents, of which 78 per cent were in favour of a twoweek spring break. Of the 399 support staff that responded, 74 per cent were in favour. And of the 412 teachers that responded, 95 per cent were in favour. However, despite the positive response from teachers, district staff fell short in negotiating terms

to enable a two-week spring break with the teachers’ union. The union expressed concerns about the impact a two-week spring break would have on student learning, as well as concerns regarding the concessions an extended spring break would have on their collective agreement. At the meeting, CTA president Katharin Midzain said a two-week spring break at this time could create more problems than they’d be worth. She suggested the board revisit the idea after collective bargaining starts up again next March.

■ F ORE !

Despite voting in favour of not extending next year’s spring break, trustee Walt Krahn expressed dismay over the decision. “I am very, very disappointed this did not work out for us,” Krahn said. “Speaking from a former school administrator’s position, I am sure schools will experience a very, very high absenteeism during those four days [before Good Friday].” The only two trustees to vote in opposition were Barry Neufeld and Martha Wiens. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

FVRD mosquito control campaign underway The Fraser Valley Regional District’s mosquito control program is well underway for the 2012 season. Rising river levels from warmer weather and melting show have triggered the development of mosquito larvae in low-lying areas along the Fraser River. With above-normal snow packs through most of the province, higher spring runoff volume is expected, which

could bring more mosquitoes. The FVRD’s mosquito control contractor, Morrow Bioscience Ltd., has been monitoring, mapping and treating new and known mosquito development sites. This activity will continue until the end of the season, with efforts increasing as river levels rise. Floodwater sites are treated with a non-toxic bacterial larvicide — which is environmentally friendly — that specifi-

cally targets the mosquito in its larval stage before it can fly. The FVRD does not conduct fogging or spraying of chemicals that kill flying adult mosquitoes. Here are some tips on controlling mosquitoes around your property: • Apply insect repellent containing DEET when outdoors. • Wear shoes, socks and long-sleeved, light-coloured,

loose-fitting shirts and pants when outdoors. • Install tight-fitting screens on doors and windows. • Eliminate or regularly change water in saucers under flower pots, in bird baths, old tires, pet dishes, gutters, pool covers, trampolines, tarps and other areas where rainwater may collect. • Use fine mesh to cover rain barrels and containers that cannot be dumped.

A 7-Eleven convenience store in Chilliwack was held up by a gun-toting suspect in the early hours of Sunday morning. A lone male then fled the scene with an undisclosed amount of cash and merchandise. An RCMP officer had the suspect, who was known to police, in custody later that day, after a display of “diligent” police work, said RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck. A lone male had entered the store on Vedder Road at some time after midnight, pointed a firearm at the clerk and then fled the scene, witnesses told police. The general duty officer who was later patrolling in the Sumas Central Road area, pulled over a vehicle in a traffic stop. “We had been actively looking for the suspect,” said Const. Tracy Wolbeck. The action resulted in both driver and passenger being arrested in connection to the robbery. Joshua Marlowe, 20, of Chilliwack was also charged in connection to three other robberies in Chilliwack, as well as the 7-Eleven incident. Marlowe was charged with the March 2 robbery of Duke’s Off Sales Liquor Store, the April 26 robbery of the Esso Gas station on Amber Drive, and the April 28 robbery of the Best Western Liquor Store. Kira Kostis, 28, of Chilliwack, who was the second occupant in the vehicle was also charged with robbery in connection to the 7-Eleven incident. “To get someone like this off the streets is an enormous success for us,” said Cst. Wolbeck, referring to Marlowe. The suspect Kostis was not known to police, while suspect Marlowe was, according to police files. “These robberies had been a big concern to us and it was through diligent police work that these people will not have the opportunity to re-offend again.” Marlowe and Kostis will remain in custody until their next court appearance on May 29. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Liberals trim BC Hydro rate hike for 2013 Tom Fletcher Black Press Despite controversial private power contracts and approval of two

pricy dam refits, BC Hydro’s rate increase will be only 1.44 per cent next year, Energy Minister Rich Coleman announced Tuesday.

Coleman said the B.C. government is instructing the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC) to limit rate increases to a total of 17 per

cent for the three-year period ending April 1, 2014. With rates up 7.1 per cent since April of this year and last year’s eight-per-cent hike, the

1.44 per cent increase for next year is to meet a political commitment made by Coleman and Premier Christy Clark last year to reduce

planned rate increases by half. The smallest rate increase in years is to take effect April 1, 2013, just weeks before the

next provincial election. And the latest government instruction means a BCUC public hearing on the latest rates won’t proceed. Coleman said in an interview the directed increase was not done for election purposes, but because it was the simplest way to proceed. A “negotiated settlement” with major ratepayer groups means a BCUC hearing that could run for months isn’t necessary, he said. NDP energy critic John Horgan said Tuesday the government’s move is the latest in a series of political interventions into BC Hydro policy. It forced the utility to buy private power on expensive long-term contracts, it imposed the smart meter program and moved ahead on the Site C dam on the Peace River, all without review by the BCUC to see if they are in the best interests of ratepayers, he said. “This is a Crown corporation, the envy of North America, and these guys have run it into the ditch,” Horgan said. Coleman launched a review of BC Hydro last year, after Clark spoke out against the prospect of a 50 per cent increase in hydro rates expected over five years. The review by deputy ministers said reducing BC Hydro staff and in-house engineering, along with other costsaving measures, would meet the government’s target of keeping annual rate increases below four per cent. But the BCUC’s rate hearings pushed the increase for the current year up to 7.1 per cent, to increase repayment of debt that has been stacked up in recent years. Auditor General John Doyle issued a report last year that said the government was taking annual dividends from BC Hydro that were not justified by its earnings, and the utility was increasing deferred debt as a result. Coleman announced Tuesday that the province was able to reach its rate goal by forgoing $75 million in dividends over three years.

FIT TIP

OF THE WEEK

“

Despite the traditional belief, it is actually more beneÄcial to get treated immediately after an acute injury! But healing occurs faster if you get treated right away. 1. Treatment prevents the splinting of surrounding muscles (which causes them to be tight and dysfunctional), 2. Treatment encourages the “scar formation” to lay down organized right from the beginning (rather than the therapist having to break it up later after it has already formed haphazardly) and 3. Treatment prevents tissue death to surrounding tissues. (InÅammation causes “suffocation” of the surrounding tissues, causing a tear or strain that is the size of a dime to become the size of a pizza!)

June 5 hearing for agriculture plan AG from Front the agricultural industry, and University of the Fraser Valley, to encourage broader educational options, as well as market opportunities like value-added and food processing options. City staff is working on drafting a recommendation for council to create an agricultural advisory committee, which would

provide advice and support on Agricultural Land Commission applications, and to provide input on proposed bylaws, and other land-use proposals that impact agriculture, according to a staff report. “I think that is one of the more concrete ideas,” said Byra. A public hearing is set for June 5 at city hall, to include the new plan as an appendix to the

Official Community Plan. Then it comes back to council for final approval. The OCP amendment and creating the advisory committee of council are seen as the first two steps toward implementation.

May is Child Care Month

Youth Services

Join us to acknowledge and celebrate all children and youth in our community … from the formative early years through the turbulent teens. Early education and quality child care improves health and promotes development and learning at home, in child care, and in school. The importance of ages 0 to 6 threads through programs like Better Beginnings, Family Place, Families in Motion, Strong Start, and Child Care Resource and Referral. However, a growing number of children well beyond those early years need a helping hand and loving heart. Youth disconnected from family, school and their community. Youth struggling with family conﬂict, school expulsion, homelessness, addiction, or more. Cory’s story tells about how The Village is helping him set a healthier and happier path in preparation for next year when he turns 19 – from a child to adult. (See story to right). Our children are our future. In partnership with Envision and The Chilliwack Progress, the “Penny For Your Tots” campaign will help us raise the funds needed to provide programs that will make an early difference for youths like Cory. Together our small change today can have a huge impact for our youth tomorrow. We encourage you to celebrate Child Care month – whether that is donating your money and time or just ensuring you help make those healthy connections to community, school and family for the children and youth in your life.

Cory has a quick smile and an infectious laugh. He rides around town on a Bob Marley bicycle that he decorated himself. He’s going to school regularly and should graduate next year. He is so positive and optimistic about his future; one would never guess that he’s been in and out of foster care since an infant. Born into a home where substance abuse was the norm, and neglect the outcome, it is no surprise that Cory has little memory of his birth home. When he got older he would run away, and eventually ended up couch surﬁng with friends. Marijuana became a part of his life, as he always felt better when he was high. The opening of The Village presented an opportunity for a new start for Cory. With dedicated staff around the clock, curfews and security, The Village is a safe and supportive place for Cory to ﬁnally call home. A support worker is helping him resolve anger issues, and develop the life skills he will need to be successful as an adult. He’s learning how to keep his apartment clean, how to cook nutritious meals on a budget, and how to keep his music down so neighbours don’t complain. They were even there for him when the relationship with a special friend broke down. Cory can look forward to a hopeful future because of Chilliwack Community Services.

CCS Youth Services provides programs, resources and support to youth ages 12-18 that promote healthy connections to community, school and family, and assist in a positive transition to adulthood.

R AESIDE

Ag excellence If the wind’s just right, it’s hard to escape the fact that Chilliwack’s roots are in agriculture. Despite the growth and success of other industries, agriculture remains a critical component to our overall economic health. So it is important that Chilliwack not only protect this sector from increased urbanization, but seek ways to foster its growth and diversification. The new Chilliwack Agricultural Area Plan hopes to do that. The plan, which comes before a public hearing at city hall on June 5, looks to add some guidance to agriculture planning in Chilliwack. That agriculture remains an important part of our economic well being is something often lost on people new to the city, or whose experience is limited to what wafts on the air. In fact, agriculture remains an important employer, and contributes around $600 million in economic activity to the region. And unlike other industries, Chilliwack’s dairy and poultry sectors remain relatively stable, even during uncertain economic times. But Chilliwack’s agricultural sector has more than fertile ground and good weather going for it. It also has a growing education sector that is committed to agriculture learning. The University of the Fraser Valley already has healthy agriculture programs. But over time, it hopes to expand that offering, bringing research and expertise to a field that is becoming increasingly complex. All of this can help Chilliwack reach the goal articulated by the steering committee that drafted the agriculture area plan: To make Chilliwack “a centre of excellence in agriculture, focusing on industry innovation and sustainability and emphasizing education, communication, conservation, and environmental responsibility.” ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Premier Clark bitten by the pest problem VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark has a new political problem buzzing around her office. A year ago, the newly appointed premier was looking to change the channel for an unpopular government grappling with the fallout of the harmonized sales tax. Newly appointed NDP leader Adrian Dix was touting an idea that is all the rage with urban folks, a ban on “cosmetic pesticides.” All the better B.C. communities already have one, starting with Clark’s old stomping ground of Port Moody in 2003. So she figured she’d better run to the front of this parade, swipe a popular policy from the opposition and do something to redefine the B.C. Liberal Party after the tax-cutting, regulation-repealing decade of Gordon Campbell. But first an all-party committee would hold hearings around the province, chaired by Kootenay

East MLA Bill Bennett. Bennett presented the committee’s report last week, and one could see what was coming. Bennett is the rifle-toting outdoorsman who recently called on his government to abandon the carbon tax, saying it’s silly to keep pretending B.C. can change the world’s climate. He was recently Tom appointed by Clark FLETCHER to co-chair the B.C. Liberal Party policy committee for next year’s election, a strong signal of the party’s rightward shift in response to the B.C. Conservative threat. Bennett concluded after 10 months of hearings that the public aversion to common lawn and garden herbicides is based on

“chemophobia” that flourishes due to scientific illiteracy. That statement is both politically dangerous and absolutely correct. I first covered this issue in the Okanagan 25 years ago, when environmentalists fought the use of Roundup by the forests ministry to knock down brush and promote new trees. The evidence boils down to this: these complex organic compounds break down in a short period to simpler, common components that pose no threat. Thus, with buffer zones around watercourses and temporary entry restrictions, they are safe. Unfortunately, most people know little or nothing about chemistry and refuse to believe this. It’s part of the scientific nonsense trend that has grown in B.C. society for decades. We have parents turning their backs on routine immunization because of superstitions about vac-

cines. We have people panicked about imaginary health effects of smart meters, egged on by shoddy, sensationalist media reporting. The parallels between local government responses to smart meter hysteria and this scientifically ignorant push against “pesticides” is telling. As Bennett put it, when someone becomes convinced her child is at risk, “that mum is pretty darn compelling when she goes to council.” Few have the courage to stand up to that. The committee sought advice from Health Canada, whose scientists approve conditions of use for chemicals. Health Canada representative Lindsay Hansen said B.C. was the first province to ask for its advice, despite the fact that most provinces have imposed bans. These bans are political, not public safety measures, University of Guelph toxicologist Keith Solomon told MLAs.

The committee also learned that “cosmetic” use accounts for only five per cent of pesticide use. Most of it is in agriculture, forestry and commercial pest control, with no ban proposed. MLAs in farming areas signalled their concern over the effect of this urban gesture politics. Backyard fruit trees go unsprayed and pests spread to orchards and fields. We have large areas of agricultural land reserve, but 85 per cent of the people who live in those areas don’t farm. The NDP is content to fan public fear and ignore evidence, as with smart meters and oil pipelines. The premier has a choice here. She can do the popular thing, or the right thing.

Saturday, May 26 10am-4pm Recycling at its finest!

An issue of safety and respect In the afternoon of Saturday May 18, I was at Vedder Elementary at a little boy’s seventh birthday, with 15 children playing hockey in the playground. About an hour after we arrived and older woman walked by with her two Jack Russells and one Minpin, off leash. The Minpin started barking and chasing one of the boys. The boy was backed right up to a fence with two of the dogs barking, while the Minpin was trying to bite his legs. The older woman just stood there and watched. My friend was able to run to the boy and quickly pick him up. My friend yelled at the woman to put the dog on a leash. (She was holding one.) The dogs were still aggressively barking. My friend was then told to

adults that are my friends and family. (Some also aboriginal.) I just wanted you to know that yes I am aboriginal. I am Haisla, and proud. I want you to know that I actually have never lived on my reserve, because I am a survivor of the ’60s scoop. However, like many reserves within our wonderful cross-cultural country, my reserve is beautiful. Also, my clan is part of an amazing community in Kitamaat. And, like many people I know in our diverse community here in Chilliwack, we respect our neighbours; we honour our families; we keep our dogs leashed; and notably, we keep our children safe. PS, You will be receiving a call from Animal Control.

shut up, by the older woman. I came over and advised that the dog should be leashed. The older lady advised me that she “pays her taxes.” Okay!?! Your dog should still be on a leash. The lady then told me she just rescued the Minpin. I stated, “All the more reason to put the dog on a leash.” The older lady then looked at me and told me to, “go back to the reserve.” Respectfully, I walked away not saying a word. To the older lady in the brown full size pickup: I am sorry you have misconceptions regarding aboriginals. I want you to know that I actually pay taxes also. I am truly sorry if you are that closed minded that you chose to yell that disappointing statement in front of 15 children and eight

Drivers, taxpayers should welcome traffic cameras

Gas prices don’t jive

Am replying to C. Punt’s letter of May 17th. I totally disagree with your intrusion argument, regarding traffic cameras. Drivers cannot be trusted to drive safely and responsibly on the roads today. Only yesterday I witnessed a Chevy Lumina weaving erratically behind another vehicle eastbound on Luckakuck in the 50 km/h zone near the Evans overpass. Cameras will pick this up and dangerous, risk taking drivers dealt with. Yes, there are many CCTV cameras in Europe and for good reason. They should not bother us if we have nothing to hide. A recent good example to acknowledge, are cameras at the Royal Oak Skytrain station. They recorded the two men fleeing from Cassie Campbell after they stole her iPad. One has already been arrested and the other one is well known to police. I am sure that readers would like nothing better than for ICBC and private insurers to lower premiums on car insurance, but that is not going to happen until tailgating, cell phone talking, speeding, “intrusive” drivers are discouraged by cameras. Not a dangerous intrusion but common sense that will ultimately save lives, reduce accidents and lower insurance premiums which we would all like to see.

I would like to know why, when the price of crude oil has been on the decline for over a week, our prices at the pump are still rising. I have compared Chilliwack’s prices to both Abbotsford and Vancouver for the past few days, and guess what? The prices in Chilliwack are only 1 cent below those in Vancouver and some prices in Vancouver are even lower than those in our Fair City. The other day, I compared Abbotsford’s prices to ours and ours were a full 5 cents higher. Makes you wonder if there is any collusion here. From now on, I will only buy gas in Chilliwack when I’m desperate and will buy in Abbotsford when I pass through there and urge others to do the same until this gouging stops!

You have pretty good eating habits, you skip dessert most of the time, you go to the gym at least three or four times per week- but your weight and measurements are not changing. Why not? Reason #1: Your head is not in the game. One of the most important factors in body transformation success is your attitude and commitment. Weight loss can be challenging. Sticking to an eating plan even when those around you are not takes discipline. Workouts that give you the serious results are uncomfortable.

And you will certainly keep reading this article to make sure you’re not making any mistakes! Reason #2: You’re not keeping a food journal. Before I argue the case for food journaling, it’s important to mention that knowing what to eat is an important first step. Journaling about your double-double and donut for breakfast won’t get you anywhere. I’m going to save the specifics of what to eat for maximum results in my next article.

reported overview of the week’s food intake, and reading a detailed food journal. The self-report sounds something like this: “My diet was pretty good. I went out for lunch once but I had a salad. Friday wasn’t so good – I didn’t get the chance to eat all day.” If Tanja someone’s SHAW diet is ‘good’, why isn’t the weight coming off? We are really good at justifying poor eating, or not taking into account the entire story. Poor self-reporting is not intentional; we simply are not aware of everything that we eat. A detailed food journal (when the food was eaten, how much and specifically what type of food) tells the whole story and takes into account every morsel of food that was eaten. It accounts for the handful of pistachios that were eaten while making dinner, the portion of steak for dinner, and the cream in the coffee. When you scribble everything you nibble, the calorie count can quickly add up. The most informative

food journals will include nutrition information as well, such as calories, grams of fat, protein, carbohydrates, sugar, and fibre and milligrams of sodium. Food journaling works. People who commit to accurately tracking their food lose weight. Yet so many people have come up with reasons why they cannot keep one (see reason #1). Food journals do take time; they force you to measure out your food and to become aware of everything that you eat. As a result, most people start planning their meals, and start eating a little less. It’s much easier and more comfortable to be blissfully unaware of the calorie count of a restaurant meal. But, at the end of the day, isn’t fitting into a pair of skinny jeans and having infinite energy worth it? Reason #3: You’re not working hard enough. Sure, you can lose weight by dieting alone, but you’ll be losing both lean muscle and body fat. The result is the number on the scale going down, but your body composition, or percent body fat, staying the same. Any exercise is a step in the right direction, but if you are serious about changing the way you look, you had better get

Motion to release agenda info earlier struck down

Slide All Day! $ 99

The Progress Chilliwack school district will continue to be tight lipped with its meeting agendas, despite one trustee’s opposition. Trustee Heather Maahs put forth a lastminute motion on Tuesday to make meeting agendas public at the same time as trustees receive them. Typically trustees receive the package on the Friday before a meeting. “It’s a public meeting and should give the public ample opportunity to read what will be discussed,” Maahs said after the meeting. “Besides, that’s the way we’ve always done it until about four or five weeks ago.” Last month, with no advance warning, the district stopped posting agendas online the Friday before meetings. After initial public backlash, a condensed version of the agenda, with hardly any content, was emailed out to select groups in advance of the meeting.

Maahs said she’s heard from several members in the community upset with the decision. But superintendent Michael Audet said the information in agenda packages should go to trustees first before the public starts talking about the information inside them. “Trustees have made it very clear to us that they would like as much information prior to the meeting as possible to give them time to read through the information and think about the information provided before the board meeting,” Audet told The Progress in April. However, that was not the message displayed at Tuesday’s meeting. Along with Maahs, trustees Silvia Dyck and Martha Wiens voted in favour of making the agendas public again. But because trustees Louise Piper, Doug McKay and Walt Krahn voted against the motion, and trustee Barry Neufeld abstained from voting, the motion did not pass.

BUDGET from Front

7TH ANNUAL

Those funds will go back into the district’s surplus. Despite the error, which had no effect on the budget’s bottom line, Carradice made a point of acknowledging this budget as good news for the district. The district will be spending just over $112 million. Of that, approximately $2.1 million will come out of its $6 million surplus to add staff, support vulnerable students and embark on an ambitious technical upgrade of all schools, among other initiatives. “In many areas we are

above where we were prior to the major budget cuts [of the 2010-11 school year],” said Carradice. Still, one trustee was not satisfied. Trustee Heather Maahs criticized staff for not engaging in a public process like it had in previous years, and felt too much money was going to areas that won’t improve the district’s student achievement and graduation rates. A special meeting was held Wednesday evening, after press deadline, for third and final reading of the preliminary budget, which will then be sent off to the Ministry of Education for approval.

you’re working out. If you are thinking about what to have for dinner while doing push-ups, I guarantee that your workout will suffer. Instead, focus on what you are doing, the muscles that are working, and give yourself plenty of positive self-talk to push yourself that extra bit. Reason #4: A hypothetical tiger is chasing you all day long. The human body is built to handle stress, such as when a sabertooth tiger decides he wants to have you for dinner, but only for short periods of time. When the body is under stress, the hypothalamus and pituitary gland, the body’s control center in the brain, sends signals to release the stress hormone, cortisol. Cortisol causes the heart to beat faster and blood sugar to spike, which is very advantageous if you are running away from a tiger. Extended periods of stress such as feeling overwhelmed at work,

not getting enough sleep, and family problems, however, have negative effects on the body. Cortisol interacts with insulin in the body, causing a long-term increase in blood sugar levels, which can lead to weight gain. Cortisol also signals the body to store fat, specifically in the abdominal region. There are several ways to reduce stress. Getting regular exercise and regulating blood sugar levels through diet will help. Set time aside to relax or meditate to help keep stress levels in check. Adequate sleep is also important. When it comes to fat loss, it is important to consider all the components required for success- sound nutrition, effective exercise and stress management.

Perspectives

Seeing beyond the disabilities to the gifts within Last week I had the opportunity to attend the 19th annual Action Builds Community Consultation on Chilliwack’s Children and Youth at City Life Church, sponsored by the Chilliwack Child and Youth Committee. The event allowed those from the community and childand youthserving agencies come Eryn together WICKER to communicate, collaborate, and connect. Some of you might even remember a preview article I wrote on the event a few weeks ago. Over the next few articles Dr. Rob Lees, Marie Amos, and myself will elaborate on the event including an overview, the youth consult portion, and today’s column on the dynamic keynote speaker, Myles Himmelreich. A motivational speaker, mentor, and group facilitator who works for Calgary’s Fetal Alcohol Network, Myles spoke about “Realities and Possibilities: Living with F.A.S.D.” Using his own experiences growing up with this invisible disability, his journey through being in care and adopted, his alcoholism, homelessness, and feeling cast aside from society, Myles educates others about the challenges and strengths that come with such a diagnosis. In fact, he encourages individuals and society to look at his diagnosis differently – instead of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder he challenges us to consider it Faith,

Ability, Strength, and Determination. Shouldn’t we apply the same logic to all diagnoses – remove the

stigma and attach the strengths. His approach was humorous, engaging, honest, and insight-

ful. Afterwards, I overheard others saying how much they enjoyed his talk; how every teacher should

have been there to hear his message; how they enjoyed his personal touch (particularly his story about getting to

choose his own name when he was adopted and after He-man was rebuffed he chose Smiles, to which his

adoptive parents suggested Myles); and that his struggles are Continued: YOUTH/ p22

terms of support and help, for those with visible disabilities with wheelchairs, hearing aids, and seeing eye dogs, but what about invisible disabilities? â€˘ Itâ€™s about redefining success. It doesnâ€™t have to look the same for everyone, and sometimes you have to be creative or a little outside the box. Because itâ€™s about capitalizing on a personâ€™s natural abilities and gifts â€“ and we all have those.

â€˘ A lifetime of â€œalmostsâ€? can be very discouraging: almost fit in, almost made friends, almost understood that assignment, etc. â€˘ Not only do teachers, coaches, and community members make assumptions and predictions about a child or teenâ€™s behaviour but the children do that to themselves as well: â€˜Heâ€™s disruptiveâ€™, â€˜heâ€™s the class clownâ€™, â€˜he doesnâ€™t careâ€™ is what the teachers might say and â€˜Iâ€™m dumbâ€™, â€˜I canâ€™t do itâ€™, and â€˜Maybe theyâ€™re rightâ€™ is what the kids may say to themselves â€˘ We make adjustments, in

Tickets are $10 each and all proceeds will go towards providing scholarships for UFV theatre students.

Maestro Johan Louwershiemer will be leading the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra during its spring concert on June 1 at the Cultural Centre. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Spring CMO concert is season finale Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The spring concert by the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra and Metropolitan Youth Orchestra at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre promises to be one of regal celebration and due pomp. The final concert of the CMO season on June 1 will spotlight tributes to the Diamond Jubilee of her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 2, with light overtures and marches conducive for a splendid spring concert, says Maestro Johan Louwersheimer. “It’s going to be fantastic,” he says. “The kids are really enjoying it.” The program will lean toward

the style of the Proms, the hugely popular music festivals held in London every year. “Proms” in this sense comes from “promenade concerts,” which harken back to a glorious time when classical music was performed outdoors by live orchestras, and later in the Royal Albert Hall. They’ll perform Pomp and Circumstance, of course and the majestic Fireworks by Handel. It will all be a fitting tribute, the Maestro says, given the rich military history Chilliwack has with the old Camp Chilliwack, which became CFB Chilliwack. “In a sense we are reconnecting with and recognizing that proud history through the music.” Beethoven rounds out the program and the CMYO will be

Rock. The orchestra also continued to present the CMO Principal Soloist Series concerts which enables the orchestra’s young professionals the opportunity to perform solo concertos with the orchestra. The Sibleius Violin Concerto was an example. As they rehearse now for the upcoming finale, they are also looking forward to presenting the Dec. 15 Christmas Concert at Evergreen Hall as special fundraiser for the Chilliwack Salvation Army. A Gala Concert is also in the works. Spring CMO concert, June 1, at Chilliwack Cultural Centre, tickets $25 and students $15 from the Centre Box Office 604-391-SHOW. Showtime is 7:30 p.m.

performing some of the young musicians’ favourites. The Peer Gynt Suite with its Morning Mood highlighting the flute and the Hall of the Mountain King with its contrasting emphasis on the low strings is pure pleasure. The fourth successful season of the Orchestra is coming to a close, and it’s been one of growth and innovation for the organization, says Louwersheimer. The youth orchestra has had a busy performance schedule, and when in combination with the entire orchestra there are over 100 musicians on stage. Senior members of the CMYO joined with the Handel Society and under the baton of Maestro Louwersheimer performed Messiah for a full house in White

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!

The sun is shining, the flowers are in bloom and the air is fresh and full of promise. The nice weather brings a whole new crop of home buyers, and another year of record low interest rates brings more interested buyers into the market than ever. This has always been a favorite time of year in the real estate market, but there are other factors that come into play to make this a good time to sell your house. The lowest interest rates in decades have made a huge impact on the real estate market. Loans are more affordable, creating more investment possibilities for second homes, trade-up or scale-down buyers, which in turn frees up more starter homes for first time buyers. When there are more buyers than there are houses available for sale, the advantage goes to the seller. However, there are a few challenges that may meet the seller. When many houses go on to the market at once, the competition between sellers increases and gives buyers more to compare and choose from. Buyers may be less interested in compromising their specific needs for a house and may take longer to look around at other houses that are for sale before committing to a purchase. Having an expanded number of competitors isn’t really a problem if the market is moving at a lively rate. Your real estate agent will provide you with listing and sales data from your local Multiple Listing service. You can find out how many homes similar to yours have come on to the market and have sold recently. By using these resources, you can see how long houses have been sitting on the market before selling and how much they are selling for. This will give you a good idea of how long it will take to sell

If YOU are thinking of BUYING or SELLING... Make sure YOU give us a call at 604-793-9900 & Experience the Difference! YOU will appreciate the straight forward, honest & no nonsense approach of our HARD WORKING TEAM. With over 50 years combined experience, AWARD WINNING SERVICE & MARKETING, we will deliver the results YOU need. *watch for our full page ad in The Real Estate Review every week!

your own home and what your asking price should be. When there is more competition, it is even more important to take the effort to make your home as enticing as possible. First impressions are so important and the first place to start is at the front door. You want your potential buyers to take a second look as they drive down the street, so ask your real estate agent to look at your home with an objective eye and give you some inexpensive tips on how to improve the looks of your house. Often things like a good cleaning, a coat of paint, a new doormat, a little landscaping and a few minor repairs are all that is necessary to make your home ready to sell. But these gestures can be a decisive factor in whether or not your home sells in a timely fashion. So don’t overlook these details. When you are house-shopping, if you are shown a house that you like, make an offer that you feel is appropriate. Your Realtor cannot tell you how much to offer but can give you information about the selling prices of similar homes in the area. Your Realtor will present your offer to the sellers. They have three choices – they can accept, reject, or counter your offer. If the house is a new listing, or if your offer is very low, they may decide to hold out for something better. Prices that are not negotiable at the beginning of a listing period may become flexible as time goes on. If you want to buy the house, make the seller an offer you are comfortable with. To maximize the possibility that the owners will accept your offer, make the offer as “clean” as possible. Be as flexible as possible about scheduling the closing date to fit the sellers’ moving plans. Each situation is different, but the simpler the offer, the more likely the sellers are to accept it.

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.

Helping Canadian kids play sports Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Luke Wilson knew she wanted her kids to be good swimmers. Needed them to be good swimmers. Every time one of her girls went near the water she cringed, recalling the sad story of uncle Dwight. He couldn’t swim. “He was eight years old and they lived back in Saskatchewan at the time,” Wilson recalled. “There was an abandoned farmhouse with a pond, and the kids used to go there even though they were told not to. They were out on a raft and he fell in. One girl tried to save him, but it was muddy water. They didn’t find him until it was too late.” The same fate almost befell her father as well. Fred Wilson nearly drowned when he fell into a rushing river in Calgary. He was lucky to escape with his life, and forever after eyed any body of water cautiously. “Growing up, it was a thing with my parents,” Wilson said. “They wanted us to be able to swim well, so the same thing wouldn’t happen to us.” Knowing all this, Wilson was pleased to find out her daughter Courtnay’s school was offering her swim lessons. But there was a price. Parents were expected to pony up to get their kids in the pool, and Wilson was flat broke. Struggling to keep her head above water while going through a difficult separation

from her husband, she simply couldn’t pay. The single parent worried her daughter would have to do without. Until she heard about Jumpstart. In 2005, Canadian Tire launched a program to help families with financial barriers keep their kids in sports. A registered charity, Jumpstart was using donations to help cover registration, equip-

ment and/or transportation costs. Wilson had a lifeline. Already aligned with the school, Jumpstart covered six weeks of swimming classes. Courtnay learned an essential life skill and her mom breathed a huge sigh of relief.” In a twist of fate, Wilson ended up taking a job with Canadian Tire, where she was more than happy to get involved with Jumpstart as

a volunteer. “This will be my third year volunteering, and my one daughter (Courtnay) volunteers as well,” she said proudly. “She’s 16 years old now and she loves it. Anything you can do to help kids.” Saturday is Jumpstart day, and the Chilliwack Canadian Tire is hoping for good weather and a big turnout for an outdoor festival. Chilliwack Chief forward Josh Hansen is dropping by. A barbecue will be running and a kids fun zone will be set up. “All of our stores (more than 310 of them) will be doing something, and ours is a street fair,” said Chilliwack Canadian Tire promotions coordinator Jane Aitken. “We’ve got community policing and the fire department coming out. This whole month is about promoting the program, culminating with this fundraising day.” Since 2005, Jumpstart has given 439,383 kids ages 4-18 across Canada the chance to play. Last year, the local program helped 330 kids with sports registration or equipment costs. Since 2005, the local program has helped 1,466. “According to statistics, one in three families can’t afford to put their kids in organized sports,” Aitken noted. “More and more, people are recognizing the program and what it does.” To get more info on what the program is and what it does, click online to http:// jumpstart.canadiantire.ca

The fifth stop on the Zone 3 Spring Golf Tour was held Sunday at Chilliwack’s Royalwood Golf and RV Resort. The course was in great condition and proved to be a real challenge to the largest field this season. Competition was fierce, and a playoff was

required to settle top spot. Chilliwack Golf and Country Club’s Connor McLellan and Swan-E-Set’s Tom Bang both shot one-underpar 71’s to finish tied through 18 holes. Bang took the title on the first playoff hole. David Lee (Pitt Meadows Golf Club)

and Marcus Brown (Players Club) tied for second, both shooting even par 72’s. A three way battle for third included Chilliwack’s Steven Scurr (CG&CC), who shot a one-over-par 73 to tie Cole Briggs (Players Club) and Ian Kim (Hazelmere).

Kaleb Fisher (CG&CC) shot an 80 to finish 27th. Bradley Lagematt (CG&CC) shot an 82 to finish 34th. Devon and Nathan Bahnman, both representing the Cultus Lake Golf Club, shot 84’s to tie for 41st in the 59 golfer field.

Chilliwack golfers qualify for Summer Games Two Chilliwack golfers punched their tickets to the BC Summer Games with strong showings at Sunday’s Zone 3 Spring Golf Tour tournament. Chilliwack’s Connor McLellan finished sec-

ond, losing on the first playoff hole to Swan-ESet’s Tom Bang. Steven Scurr tied for third. Their efforts netted them two of the four available spots. The other openings went

Power of plyometrics Hockey skills with Smyl The idea of plyometrics is to generate the greatest amount of force in the shortest amount of time, writes Paul Nicolls

The Chilliwack Chiefs Hockey School is back, led by head instructor Harvey Smyl. Players hit the ice twice daily from Aug. 13-17, honing their hockey skills in a fun and exciting environment. The camp is available to players ages 7-12. A bantam/midget/junior-aged conditioning camp is also available. Visit chilliwackchiefs.net or call 604-392-4433 for more info.

The Chilliwack Chiefs are done for the season, but assistant coach Paul Nicolls remains very busy. In his fourth bi-weekly column, the Xceed Training owner/operator talks about implementing plyometrics into a training regimen.

PCSL teams back in action

Vertical depth jump — Stand on a box or other platform. Hop off the box and land on both your feet. As soon as your feet hit the ground, jump as high as you can. Get back on the box and repeat. Squat jumps — Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. Squat down and jump as high as possible. Upon landing, squat and immediately jump up again. Lateral jumps — Stand next to a cone or another object that you can jump over. Jump sideways to the opposite side of the cone. Upon landing, immediately jump to the other side. Remember to make the jumps as quickly as possible. Plyometric push-up — Assume a normal push-up position. Lower yourself to the floor. With explosive force, push off the floor with enough force that your hands leave the floor. Repeat.

Starting in the 1960’s, the Soviet Union pioneered what we now call plyometrics. They used plyometrics successfully in their training programs. The results showed in the Olympics. Their ice hockey team enjoyed a run of sustained dominance unlikely to be duplicated. But it wasn’t until 1975 when Fred Wilt, former Olympic runner, brought the ideas and concepts of plyometrics back to North America for our athletes to use. Since then, teams and trainers have incorporated this type of training into their sportsspecific programs. You may have noticed someone in the corner of the local gym, jumping up and down on boxes or throwing a medicine ball against the wall. You may have been curious, but you probably wondered, “Why would anyone do that type of training?” Adding even a few minutes of plyometric training principles to your usual routine can add intensity to your workouts while building more power and strength in the legs, two things that can make your movements on the sporting field or ice more explosive. The idea of plyometrics is to develop the greatest amount of force in the shortest amount of time. Plyometrics is one of the best ways to improve power. With plyometric training, an athlete is able to sustain repetitive contractions over time — continuous jumping for a rebound in basketball, swinging a racket in a tennis match or body checking in hockey. Plyometrics are recommended only for wellconditioned athletes with high levels of leg strength. Be sure to warm up thoroughly, and start slowly with small jumps before gradually building up. Allow yourself plenty of rest between workouts and stop immediately if you feel any pain in your joints. Land softly to absorb impact properly, use footwear with plenty of cushioning and perform plyometrics on soft or cushioned surfaces only. If you follow the tips above, you can navigate the example program I’ve laid out below:
