Katie Bartel The Progress A Chilliwack shop teacher is concerned his school district is failing to move fast enough to improve the safety in industrial education classes. Eric Munshaw, industrial education teacher at Mt. Slesse middle school, requested a time slot at an upcoming school board meeting to revisit the idea of smaller class sizes, but was denied. Munshaw, who speaks on behalf of Chilliwack shop teachers, had hoped the district would take the concerns of the teachers seriously and design classes for next year based on those concerns. “My intent was to revisit the issue with trustees because principals were already building timetables for next year and if trustees were going to make a move and recommend we limit numbers, it had to be soon,” he said. Munshaw previously presented last October, where he detailed information provided in the BC Technology Education Association’s (BCTEA) Best Practices Guide, and warned trustees they could be held liable if an accident were to occur. When his request was denied by the superintendent, Munshaw emailed Continued: DISTRICT/ p12
Jade Charney of Chilliwack carries the Special Olympics B.C. torch to the Pacific Region Training Centre on Keith Wilson Road on Tuesday morning. More than 50 people (RCMP officers and staff, and members of the community) took part in Chilliwack’s stretch of the Law Enforcement Torch Run to raise awareness and funds for Special Olympics B.C. athletes and programs. This year’s torch run in Chilliwack featured Special Olympics track athlete Pat Johnson (behind torch, in blue toque). The torch run is now the largest fundraiser and public awareness vehicle in the Special Olympics movement, with more than 85,000 officers in 35 countries. They have raised more than $38 million dollars for Special Olympics. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
‘Big City’ feel to new transit plan: Gaetz Robert Freeman The Progress More buses, more often, but on fewer routes will still give Chilliwack a “Big City” feeling, Mayor Sharon Gaetz enthused after council approved an expanded transit plan Tuesday. “It feels Big City now to have 20-minute service on the main drag,” she said, instead of the former hourlong wait. City councillors approved the expansion plan that will add a seventh bus to the system, but reduce the number of routes from 10 to four.
A proposed 50-cent fare hike to $2 will also be delayed until 2013. The new service starts July 2 and “transit ambassadors” will be on hand to familiarize riders with the new system. Coun. Jason Lum, chairman of the city’s transportation advisory committee, called the plan “an important step in the evolution of the community.” “It’s not perfect, but it’s moving in the right direction,” he said. Express buses will run every 20 minutes along Vedder Road between Chilliwack and Vedder Crossing, and every 30 minutes around the down-
town core. The Vedder route buses will also enter shopping mall parking lots at Luckakuck Way to reduce walking distances for riders. The third and fourth routes will take riders to new retail developments on Eagle Landing Parkway and to the Promontory area, but only run every hour. A new sheltered bus exchange will be located at Spadina Avenue and Yale Road, which will also accommodate future regional transit services to Agassiz-Harrison and Abbotsford. “We’re going to continue to refine this, and expand it without tax increases,” Coun. Chuck Stam said.
Transportation manager Rod Sanderson agreed the transit changes will increase walking distances for some riders, but the city does not have the resources to immediately satisfy all the demands on the system. However, he said this is the “first step” in a series of improvements that will continue in 2014-16 and over the next 25 years. Seniors are encouraged to use the subsidized “taxi-saver” program and HandyDART until gaps in the bus system are closed.

Opposition to Kinder-Morgan pipeline grows Robert Freeman The Progress Tar sands in an aging pipeline is a major concern of a new citizens’ group opposed to the proposed twinning of an oil pipeline that runs through the Fraser Valley and over the Chilliwack aquifer. The Pipe Up Network is an offshoot of a loose organization of concerned residents that began meeting in Chilliwack last March. The “surprising news” that the pipeline owned by Kinder Morgan
also carries Alberta tar sands in the form of diluted bitumen led to the creation of the Pipe Up Network at a meeting held in Abbotsford in April. Lynn Perrin, a public policy analyst in Abbotsford, is very concerned about the potential health risks associated with diluted bitumen. “I cannot understand why Kinder Morgan would think they can start transporting diluted bitumen without any public consultation,” she said.
The Trans Mountain pipeline has been carrying crude oil from Alberta to Vancouver since 1953, but Perrin said the company started loading bitumen onto tankers in Burrard Inlet in February, 2012. Wendy Major, a retired school teacher in Chilliwack, said a bitumen spill in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in 2010 “caused health problems for the people and devastated local business.” The pipeline owned by Enbridge Energy Partners reportedly spilled an estimated 843,000 gallons of
diluted bitumen into a tributary of the Kalamazoo River. The cleanup and health impacts raised questions about B.C.’s ability to respond to a similar disaster. Kinder Morgan wants to build a second pipeline here to increase daily capacity to 750,000 barrels from the current 300,000 barrels. Opposition organizer Sheila Muxlow said if a spill occurs, the bitumen would sink to the bottom of the aquifer, unlike conventional oil which would float on top of the water.
“If there was a crack in that pipeline near the aquifer, there’s no doubt that product will sink right into the aquifer,” she said. The bitumen, diluted with “volatile substances” so it can flow through the pipeline, is also “significantly more corrosive” than conventional oil, she said, increasing the risk of a rupture. Michael Hale, a Pipe Up member in Chilliwack, said there’s growing concern about the proposed twinning project. Continued: PIPELINE/ p9
Stepping out to help fight prostate cancer Katie Bartel The Progress John Sowik credits his wife for saving his life. Without her, he would never have requested a PSA test, would never have connected the hot poker pains in his calves to prostate cancer, would never have even thought he, a relatively young 46-year-old, could have prostate cancer. Neither would his doctor. In 2010, Sowik went to his doctor with excruciating calf pains. The doctor thought it was a pinched nerve and sent him to a neurologist, as well as for blood work to rule out any cholesterol or electrolyte issues. But when his wife, Elaine, who was then his girlfriend, described the situation to her co-workers at the hospital, one suggested Sowik get a PSA blood test. PSA tests are prostatespecific antigen tests that uncover protein irregularities in the prostate gland. Sowik wanted nothing to do with it. “I immediately thought of the digital [rectal] exam; I did not want to be waiting for him to put the gloves on,” said Sowik. “I mean, come on, I was only 46.” Prostate cancer is more commonly diagnosed in men over 50. But Elaine would not let it go. She harped on him everyday until he relented. When Sowik requested the PSA, his doctor looked at him and asked, “Why?” It’s reactions like that that have Sowik lacing up his shoes on June 17 for

John Sowik, seen here with wife Elaine, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2010. The two of them are taking part in Father’s Day Run/Walk for prostate cancer on June 17. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Chilliwack’s first Fathers’ Day Run/Walk in support of prostate cancer. “We’ve got to get the awareness out there,” Sowik said. In Canada, it’s estimated over one million men have prostate cancer, and approximately one in six men will be diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime, making it the second leading cause of cancer death in Canadian men. While it’s believed approximately 90 per cent of cases can be cured with early detection, prostate cancer awareness is still lacking. “I tell everybody my story, and if I can get one guy to go and get tested,

it’s worth it,” said Sowik. Sowik’s test results showed his PSA levels were at 11; normal range for a guy his age is 1.5. A digital rectal exam found a nodule on the right side of his prostate. The urologist was 75 per cent sure it was cancer. “When you get that word, it’s cancer, everything stops,” said Sowik. “Your future, gone. All you can think of is the next couple months. What will the diagnosis be? What will the outcome of the surgery be?” Still, it’s better than the alternative. Sowik’s urologist asked him why he requested the PSA. When he told him it was to appease Elaine, the
urologist told him, “Your girlfriend may have just saved your life.” If Sowik had waited until he was 50 or 55 to get the test, “it may have been too late,” the cancer could have broken free of the prostate and spread to his bones and elsewhere. Sowik had the prostate removed on April 19, 2010. Last July, he underwent radiation therapy when his PSA levels started creeping up again. For the past year, he’s been getting PSA tests every three months to monitor his levels. Come July, if everything comes back clear, he’ll only need to get the PSA tests every six months for the next two years. If no abnormali-
ties show on the PSA for five years, he’ll be considered cured. “My wife saved my life,” said Sowik, who married Elaine on July 21, 2010. Father’s Day Walk/Run details:
The 5 km Father’s Day Walk/Run is on June 17 along the Vedder Trail starting at 9:30 a.m. Registration is $35 and can be done online at www.fathersdayrun.ca, or on the day of the run at 8 a.m. at the ASU, located on Keith Wilson and Korea Road.

Anyone who’s wondered which B.C. intersections are the most dangerous to drive, cycle or walk through can now check online for a new tool. ICBC has unveiled interactive maps that display its crash data going back up to five years for every local city. In Chilliwack, the worst site in 2011 was at the on- and off-ramps along Highway 1 and Lickman Road. That area was followed closely by the intersection at Promontory/Watson Road and Vedder Road. A city menu lets users choose the community they want to view and the map with crash sites is then displayed, along with a list of intersections with the highest crash counts. Users can view the mapped crash data from any one of the past five years, or all the years combined. They can also choose to see just casualty crashes, not ones that only caused property damage. Separate maps prepared by ICBC show data on crashes involving cyclists or pedestrians. “You can really break it down to the area you live in,” ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said. “So hopefully a lot of people find it useful.” He said the auto insurer gets many requests for that data already and decided to make it freely available to save staff and requesters time. “We're looking for ways to make our information more transparent and accessible.” Grossman added the data doesn't mean certain intersections themselves are dangerous because of their design. “It really comes down to driver behaviour at the end of the day,” he said.

NDP MLA Gwen O’Mahony asked her first question in Question Period last week — about a mobile home park in Abbotsford, which is outside her ChilliwackHope riding. But the MLA, who won an upset victory here over the BC Liberal candidate in an April 19 byelection, said the question wasn’t “technically” her first in the B.C. Legislature. And the issue of seniors being evicted from mobile home parks is part of a “broader” issue the NDP opposition is focusing on at the moment, she said. Opposition parties routinely prioritize QP questions for maximum effect. “We have a number of mobile home parks in the Chilliwack area as well,” O’Mahony pointed out. The MLA said her first question to the government was actually about funding for a dialysis clinic in Chilliwack during an earlier budget estimates session. The demand for a dialysis clinic in Chilliwack became an issue in the byelection after patients complained about hazardous driving to a clinic located at the Abbotsford hospital during a heavy snowstorm in January.

Witnesses to longboard crash sought by police

Chilliwack RCMP are looking for witnesses to a Friday night crash between a pick-up truck and two young longboarders. Police said the two youths were crossing the intersection of Vedder Road and South Sumas Road near the Shell gas station at about 11 p.m. when they were hit by what was described as a black Ford pick-up truck. “The driver of the vehicle stopped and exchanged some information with the youths,” Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. But police have not been able to “authenticate” the information, she said. “We are looking for anyone who may have witnessed this incident, so we can make contact with the driver involved,” she said. The two youths suffered minor injuries, and one of their longboards was broken in half. Anyone with information is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS

O’Mahony said the BC Liberal government is still insisting it’s a transportation issue, rather than an increased demand that requires construction of an additional dialysis clinic. The new MLA, a former health advocate at a home for adults with developmental disabilities, said although she is “passionate” about the seniors issue, she is keeping in touch with riding issues like the rehab unit closure at Chilliwack General Hospital and Tycrop expansion plans using property in the agricultural land reserve. “I was thrilled to be standing up for seniors,” O’Mahony said, about her debut in Question Period. “But it’s not called Answer Period,” she pointed out, as few questions are directly answered by the government. O’Mahony will be opening a constituency office in Chilliwack this week at her former byelection campaign office, and plans to establish a “mobile” office to give folks in rural parts of the riding a chance for face-to-face meetings with their MLA. “Availability is the key thing,” said O’Mahony, who has barely a year to prove herself to this traditionally conservative riding before the next provincial election in May, 2013. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Get a taste for garden edibles The Progress A cooking demonstration by chef Jeff Massey on June 9 in Chilliwack is all about the glory of the edible garden. Fresh herbs figure prominently in his award-winning cuisine, Chef Massey tells The Progress, and he’ll be sharing tips about using herbaceous seasonings. “I just like adding fresh herbs and I use them in a lot of different ways.” Sometimes he’ll fold some tarragon into a sauce, or roll some flattened meat into herb leaves, and even likes to toss some crispy, fresh greens on a nice piece of fish. “They’re a basic element in my cooking and I always have rosemary, sage, thyme, chives and parsley on hand.” Massey is the executive chef of Restaurant 62 in Abbotsford. He trained at Dubrulles Hotel and Culinary Institute in Vancouver and went right to work at Cioppino’s Mediterranean Grill, and later Coast before taking over at Restaurant 62. “Since becoming the executive chef/owner of Restaurant 62, I have worked very hard to create a menu that stays true to the ingredients and inviting to our sophisticated guests,” he writes online. “My philosophy has always been this: create and maintain a menu where the food is locally inspired, ingredient driven, and above all else, simple and clean.” His approach is noteworthy and he was

named one of Western Living’s Top 40 Foodies Under 40 for 2011. Massey says he
enjoys offering cooking demos and classes, but this particular one is unique in that it will be
held in a garden nursery setting. The setting is the garden gazebo at the back of Minter’s Country Garden store on Young Road. Master gardener Brian Minter will discuss creating the best growing conditions for an edible garden. “There should also be some items ready to taste eventually for those who attend,” he says in tantalizing fashion. “So come on down and hopefully enjoy some sunshine.” He plans to make a fresh and zesty curry with fresh cilantro, kaffir lime and lemongrass, and go over what it takes to make a delicious arugula and pine nut pasta. “Remember to plant and grow some of your own fresh herbs, and don’t forget to use them!” says Massey. Edible Gardens Cooking Demonstration at Country Garden Store on Young Road with Executive Chef Jeff Massey of Restaurant 62, on Saturday, June 9, from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Free admission.

his presentation to individual trustees in hopes of getting a discussion started. Two trustees (who he did not name)
chastised him for inappropriate behaviour stating that it was a collective bargaining issue. “I wasn’t suggesting anyone do any collec-
see what happens,” said Munshaw. “What irked me was they wouldn’t even allow the conversation to happen.” Shop classes in B.C. currently range anywhere from 25 to 35 students. The BCTEA is recommending school districts adopt a class size of no more than 24. Munshaw said more than 400 students at Mt. Slesse take advantage of the industrial education programs. With five middle schools and three high schools offering trades courses, he fears the safety of Chilliwack students are at risk without smaller class size limits in place. “Our lynch pin has always been and continues to be the safety and quality of education,” said Munshaw. In an email to The Progress, superintendent Michael Audet said the

district’s hands were tied. “We have been advised by provincial authorities that the class size implications of this document may conflict with legislation and with negotiations at the provincial level,” said Audet. “For those reasons, the board of education is not able to address Mr. Munshaw’s request to present at this time.” Munshaw is beginning to believe shop teachers are just getting the runaround. “We’ve raised the point time and time again, and their answer has generally been we’ll take it under advisement and get back to you about it, but I’m concerned no one has actually sat down rationally and talked about it as a collective group,” he said. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Better bus service Waiting for change is like waiting for a bus. Sometimes it feels like it takes forever. For Chilliwack transit users, the wait is nearly over. On Tuesday council approved a plan that will dramatically revamp transit service in the city. The plan doesn’t just modify bus routes. It totally changes the way transit service is delivered, improving frequency, shortening travel times, rationalizing routes, and positioning the system to carry Chilliwack into the decades ahead. The changes are only the first step in a broader plan that could eventually give Chilliwack a regional transit system that connects the city with Abbotsford. For now, the most noticeable change will be frequency. Currently, buses run every hour in Chilliwack; miss one and the penalty is severe. The new system will bring buses twice as often on most routes. Along the Vedder/Yale corridor, they will run every 20 minutes. All this is being done with the addition of just one more bus, thanks to a major overhaul of all the routes. Convenience is key to improving transit use. Those who have no alternative will use the bus regardless. For others, a car is an easy choice if missing a bus by three minutes means an hour wait. Securing riders who “choose” to take the bus is a critical step in creating a modern, sustainable transit system that we can all benefit from. More transit users mean fewer cars on the road, which improves our air quality, eases congestion and lowers our overall infrastructure costs. Granted, that convenience comes with a cost. Fares in 2013 will jump 25 per cent, moving to $2 for an adult fare from $1.50. But transit planners are confident riders will appreciate the more convenient service and by then be willing to pay for it. After all, they’ve waited long enough. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Chaos reigns in Victoria in wake of HST VICTORIA – The old saying goes that if you like sausages and laws, you shouldn’t watch either one being made. The legislature’s sausage factory worked overtime to crank out a pile of legislative change before the government choked off debate and shut it down for the summer. This is after a dozen complicated bills were stuffed into the hopper in the final month. For the first time in B.C. history, debate was carried on in three separate chambers to try to get through it all. It created a chaotic scene, with politicians and reporters dashing around trying to create the impression they were on top of it all. The NDP opposition screamed bloody murder about this travesty, especially as the clock ran down last week and bills were assigned a token 30 or 45 minutes to meet

the B.C. Liberal government’s arbitrary deadline. Alas, what little time was allowed for the opposition to question legislation was largely frittered away with the usual partisan sniping that substitutes for alternative ideas. The good news is that this mad rush wasn’t a calculated scheme Tom to ram through FLETCHER unpopular, unfair measures. Quite the contrary. The B.C. Liberal government’s back is to the wall, trying to do what the public and circumstances demand and save its own skin. Here’s a partial list of the marching orders. Get rid of the harmonized sales tax and bring back a
computerized version of the old, inefficient provincial sales tax. Unclog the court system, which has become so constipated that a Stanley Cup riot fool can’t even plead guilty in a reasonable time. And find a way to make our growing population of urban anarchists and assorted other deadbeats pay to ride transit. The HST exercise continues to exact its cost. The unprecedented job of creating a modern system for the archaic sales tax was the main cause of the legislative logjam, tying up government lawyers and delaying drafting of other bills. Small businesses that paid $3,000 to convert to HST get to pay another $3,000 to go back, and we had all better hope the new computer software works. Speaking of computers, one of the laws passed amid the shouting is one that establishes an online
system for disputing traffic tickets. Police will print out tickets from their cars instead of handwriting them, and drivers will have an alternative way to argue about whether they really ran that red light. Fighting a ticket in court now takes seven to 18 months, tying up judges, court registry staff and police. An administrative system won’t keep them all out of court, but the government hopes to reduce the average resolution time to 90 days and save $8 million a year or more. A similar administrative system is being established for small civil claims and strata property disputes. Some legislation is to fix earlier screw-ups. A judge tossed out B.C.’s most heavy-handed administrative penalties for failing a roadside blood alcohol test, so

the government brought in a new version that allows for another administrative appeal. The mistake of making transit operate on a poorly policed “honour system” goes back to Social Credit days. There is finally a system to enforce collection of fines, on those rare occasions when someone is ticketed for taking a free ride. Even with the last-minute rush, four bills couldn’t be rammed through. Since the legislature will almost certainly have to be recalled to impose a contract on teachers this fall, the government would do well to provide a couple of weeks for orderly debate at that time.

Rehab closure a ‘tragic mistake’ Re: Proposed closing of subacute/rehab ward at Chilliwack General Hospital: In 2007, while exiting the cancer clinic in Vancouver with my husband after he had just completed a PET scan treatment, a car came through the glass door in reverse, accelerating, hit me, and carried me eighty feet down the hallway. I suffered multiple breaks to my pelvis, a broken leg, broken ribs and a collapsed lung. I underwent emergency surgery and spent the next 10 days in the VGH trauma unit. My husband, daughter, sister and other family, friends and neighbours were all in Chilliwack.
Needless to say, I asked to be transferred to Chilliwack hospital as soon as possible as the thought of family and loved ones travelling every day to VGH and back to Chilliwack caused a lot of worry and stress on me and on them. When I was transferred by ambulance back to Chilliwack I was able to recuperate from my injuries in the sub acute ward. It took two-and-a-half months before I could bear my own weight so I could not have been looked after as well, if at all, as an outpatient. The staff was wonderful and in due course, I was taught to walk again and able to
return home. When I read that this marvelous facility was to be closed down it really upset me. I would not be where I am today without all the great care and encouragement I received during my recovery and physiotherapy. I therefore feel strongly that to close this unit now at CGH would be a tragic mistake. Cases like mine will happen again, and a facility like the CGH sub-acute ward is absolutely necessary for recovery. I encourage the “powers that be” to make sure this type of facility is always there for those that need it. Please keep sub-acute open!

Closure will result in higher costs Regarding the recent announcement of the decision to close the rehab unit at CGH: It is obviously wrong and on numerous levels. I speak from personal experience, having recently spent a month rehabilitating there. As a double leg amputee, it would have been next to impossible for me to travel back and forth daily from Yarrow for physiotherapy nec-
essary for my recovery. Transportation provided, possibly, but at what and who’s expense? Unforeseen complications while convalescing at home could have been disastrous. Aside from the food (which actually was not that bad) the service and level of care was excellent. I have only praise and admiration for the nurses and their supervisors, the care
aides, the physio- and occupational therapists, counsellors, right down to the cleaning staff. All performed their duties professionally and beyond reproach. If Fraser Health wishes to cut costs, I suggest starting with a serious purge of their top-heavy bureaucracy and not with the very important and necessary hands-on staff. I honestly believe that
this so-called cost saving measure will have an opposite result and end up costing more financially and in terms of human suffering, even lives. Or is that not as important as the number in the bottom right hand corner? Thanks for allowing me to express my opinion.

Cool weather strategies for your vegetable garden Once again, with cold spring weather persisting into June, it’s been a year of challenges for our food gardens. The good news is there’s still lots of time to get our veggies and fruits planted. Remember, the whole idea of food gardening is to enjoy the wholesomeness and wonderful flavour of your favourite fruits and vegetables, grown
as organically as possible. Even if all you have is a container on a particularly sunny balcony, you can still enjoy some great flavour. Here are a few tips to make your gardens more successful: For most veggies and fruits, by waiting for warm weather, the faster our plants will grow and produce food. Raised beds or containers have warmer
soil by about 8°C for faster root growth. For container gardens, the larger the container the better for growing and maintenance, and they don’t have to be expensive. Use only quality soils and add organic matter to enrich them. Container soils must be used in containers - do not use topsoil in containers. For most things,
planting seeds will still work, but fresh quality transplants can save you up to three weeks of time. Many growers are producing larger plants for a major head start. Choose the plant varieties that perform the best in your area and remember there are early, mid and late varieties for longer harvest periods. There are some wonderful new varieties of plants like ‘Simply Salad’ blended lettuce, ‘Cute Stuff’ red peppers and Japanese burpless cucumbers. Heat lovers, like tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash, melons, sweet potatoes and basil will perform
better the closer we get to consistent night temperatures of 10°C. Plant them where you get sunlight between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. You can still plant started Brian everMINTER bearing raspberries and strawberries for enjoyment this year. Do your watering in the morning as much as possible to allow your plants to utilize the moisture during the daylight growing process. At night plants transpire moisture
away. Keep the foliage of your plants dry at night to minimize disease problems. If you choose to grow organically, organic soils and fertilizers are more readily available now than ever before. If you are very time challenged, as most folks are today, slow release nutrients that feed continually for up to four months are available. Once we get into warmer summer weather, disease and insects tend to be less of an issue but daily checking of all plants is the best way to control any problems. Today there are effective organic solutions to control
pests and disease. I want to assure everyone that there is lots of time left to enjoy growing your own food garden. Many great gardeners are already enjoying the harvest of their cool crops that were planted some time ago. The bottom line is don’t miss out on the opportunity to enjoy a wonderful food garden this year – remember those wonderful flavours! If you grow a bounty this season, consider donating some of your produce to your local Salvation Army as part of the Plant a Row, Grow a Row program. For details, visit growarow.org.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is anticipating state and provincial law enforcement closures of all vehicular traffic through the Peace Arch Port of Entry this Sunday June 10 between the hours of 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. during the 90th annual “Hands Across the Border Celebration.” The Peace Arch Park will host youth groups from the U.S. and Canada in recognition of the great friendship between these two nations. A youth parade of flags from around the world will be carried through the arch and accompanied by Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, Girl Guides and veterans. During this period all traffic will have to divert to either the Pacific Highway Port of Entry, one mile east of Peace Arch on State Highway 543, or to the Ports of Lynden on Highway 539 and Sumas on Highway 9. Border traffic volumes are expected to be affected during this celebration and travellers are being reminded to plan their trip and allow extra time for crossing the border. Consult the CBP web site to monitor border wait times and review the “Know Before You Go” tip sheet at www.cbp.gov. CBP strongly encourages travelers to obtain a radio frequency identification (RFID)-enabled travel document such as a U.S. Passport Card, Enhanced Driver’s License/Enhanced Identification Card or Trusted Traveler Program card (NEXUS, SENTRI, Global Entry or FAST/ EXPRES) to expedite their entry and make crossing the border more efficient. The new Ready Lane is open at Peace Arch for those travelers with RFID-enabled cards.

New show at Museum’s Chambers Gallery draws inspiration from nature Abbotsford artists Helen Janas and Bev Beresh will be at the Chilliwack Museum’s Chambers Gallery for an opening of a new exhibit on Saturday, June 9. The opening reception runs from noon until 2:00 pm. Beresh, a fine arts graduate from the University College of the Fraser Valley (now called the University of the Fraser Valley) and Helen Janas who emigrated from Poland in 1974 find inspiration in the bounty and beauty of nature. Natural Reflections , the title of their exhibit, is drawn from the interplay of light and colour that surrounds us on a daily basis. The museum is located at 45820 Spadina Avenue in Chilliwack’s only national historic site, the former city hall for the City of Chilliwack. For more information enquiries can be directed to the museum at 604-795-5210.

Celebrating Fatherhood
Nurturing Fathers
Today’s families come in all shapes and sizes. Parental roles are changing with more and more fathers actively involved in the care of their children. Not that long ago, it was unusual to see a father out and about with a baby in a stroller. Today, dads are involved in the daily routine of their child’s life ... and loving it. Fatherhood is a big responsibility but also a lot of fun. From the first laugh to the first step, to the pride in your heart when your child‘s face lights up from a job well done. Staff member Steve Dove well remembers that feeling the day he and his son hiked to the top of Mount Cheam with friends. Opportunities to have fun sometimes get lost in all the other demands of the day. However, once an opportunity has passed, it’s gone and you can’t get it back. Whether you are a father or a child, remember to stop, step back, and savour the moment. At Chilliwack Community Services, we not only want to take the time to help fathers in need of support, but also remind fathers to celebrate the challenges and triumphs involved in this trek.
Six months ago, life forever changed for “Alex” – he became father to a healthy bouncing baby boy. All the focus is on the baby now, leaving little if no time to hang out with friends, to focus on school, or be patient of the changing relationship between him and his girlfriend.
25
Fortunately for Alex’s new family, that adjustment process began before the baby was born. Alex was invited to attend Nurturing Fathers, a parenting group for significant males in a child’s life. At 17 years old, Alex found himself the youngest in a group of six, all struggling with the demands and expectations of fatherhood. A topic not often talked about, and a huge responsibility with little support systems in place. At first, Alex felt extremely out of place, having never even held a baby let alone recognizing the emotional and time demands of being a father.
“It doesn’t matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was.” -- Anne Sexton
Annual General Meeting
Quietly absorbing the experiences and challenges shared by the other participants, Alex completed the eight week session with an unexpected insight into what it takes to be a Dad. He was more prepared for the lack of sleep, lack of energy, and loss of freedom. He was more prepared for the responsibility, emotional rollercoaster, and imminent change in his relationship. Nurturing Fathers allowed Alex a peek at fatherhood, and the trials and triumphs of raising a child. Most importantly, Alex learned that his role as a father will forever impact the life of his child.
Tuesday, June 26 @ 5:00 pm The Annual General Meeting provides an opportunity to meet Board Directors and staff, ask questions and learn a little more about the work of Chilliwack Community Services. Join in the refreshments and conversations before the business meeting begins at 5:45 pm.
Nurturing Fathers is an eight week parenting group for any significant adult male in a child’s life (Dads, Uncles, Grandparents, etc). Topics covered include self-esteem, anger management, child discipline/self-discipline, temperament and anything else brought to the group. Over 400 males have completed the program over the past 10 years. Groups are held from September through June.

Jack van Dongen: Working hard, but with time to play When Jack van Dongen was growing up, hard work was really all he knew. In school, he loved playing sports but responsibilities at home prevented him from playing outside the school setting. “Dad always said that working on the farm was sports enough,” he smiled. Jack and his six siblings were Ana all born in MACEDO Canada but his parents were Dutch immigrants who had arrived in Canada in 1949. The van Dongen’s were always a close-knit family and remain so to this day. When Jack was just four years old, an infection paralyzed him from the neck down. “This is really the first memory that I have of my life and I totally recall this period of time. I was originally treated for polio but it was later diagnosed as a neck infection. My parents couldn’t really speak English so perhaps there was something else to it but this is what I know. I couldn’t use my limbs for
about eight weeks and I came to realize that the use of your limbs is really such a blessing,” he said. When Jack was 10, the van Dongen’s moved from Pitt Meadows to a dairy farm in Delta and until he left home at the age of 18, Jack came to know the meaning of hard work and dedication. “I was heavily involved in 4-H and I loved it. I was always on the leadership team and I excelled at it. I was one of 80 kids in the province invited to BC Provincial Club Week and I was awarded a trip to Chicago to attend the largest 4-H conference in the U.S.,” he noted. Volunteerism was also something that Jack and some of his siblings, including older brother John, who is the MLA for Abbotsford South and a former solicitor general, took seriously. “Being involved in our community was something that we were interested in and that we took part in,” he said. Jack had a keen interest in genetics and wanted to get involved in the artificial insemination of cattle. “I knew what I didn’t want to become and that was a dairy farmer. My experi-

ence on my dad’s dairy farm was that it was all about hard work and no play. I didn’t want that for me,” he said. After graduating from Delta Secondary School, he received a phone call from
a farmer who wanted Jack to go work for him. “I told him up front that I wasn’t interested in farming but he asked me to go and see him, which I did. After one year of working for him, all I wanted to do was farm. He
showed me that you could work hard and be successful and yet you could still take time to have fun. You could still play,” he said. For the next 10 years he worked on someone else’s farm, but Jack is nothing if not entrepreneurial so at the age of 28 he rented a farm in Aldergrove and started his own dairy herd. “At this same time, I also took on a job as a truck driver for Vanderveen Hay Sales but quickly transitioned into sales. My mom always said that I should be a salesman. Whenever there were fundraisers I was always the top salesman,” he laughed. For three years, Jack farmed and worked at Vanderveen but then his wife unexpectedly left him and their four children and this changed everything. “This was a hard time for me, that’s for sure but we moved on and in 1987 I bought my own dairy farm in Delta, across from where I had grown up. I ended up having to quit farming because I developed an allergy to cattle hair, if you can believe it. I left the farm in 1997 and went into semen sales and got into the genetic field which is
what I had originally wanted to get into when I graduated from high school. This is what I did up until a year and a half ago. I was in that industry for 15 years,” he explained. Jack and his wife, Ellie moved to Chilliwack and in 2008 Jack and his son Dave opened up Mr. Lube on Yale Road, across from Southgate Shopping Centre. He also opened up Goal Line Hockey Training Centre which is located next to Mr. Lube and specializes in hockey training year round. Although Jack hasn’t played hockey or had the time to referee any games since moving to Chilliwack, he enjoys doing both. The couple also enjoys golfing, although they haven’t had a chance to play as often as they’d like. Above all, Jack loves getting on his Harley and going for a ride every chance he gets. “Ellie and I go on one long trip every year. Last year, we went through three states and three provinces and put 7,000 km on the bike. This year, we’re planning another long trip but we also do a lot of day and weekend trips,” he enthused.

Turner weeks away from Olympic experience
Jenn Turner is all smiles as she looks forward to the London 2012 Summer Olympics that start in just 50 days. SUBMITTED PHOTO
For jet-setting Chilliwack chiropractor Jenn Turner, it often seems she spends more time on airplanes than on the ground. But such is life when you’re involved with Olympic athletes. Turner works with the Canadian Cycling Association, helping keep this country’s top cyclists healthy as they prepare for athletic events. Turner travels frequently to Los Angeles, where many of the cyclists live and train year round. She’s spent a lot of time in London lately, familiarizing herself with the site of the 2012 Summer Olympics. Turner visited the UK in early April, and got a sneak peek at the brand new track that will be used at the Games. She joined the Canadian National Track Cycling team as they competed in a World Cup event. She was back in late May for the BMX World Championships. “For the Canadian team, that World Cup was our big event,” Turner said. “Zach Bell (2008 Canadian Olympian) had a dis-
Humbled by the Heat Chilliwack’s Pacific Coast Soccer League U-21 men’s team finally gets some home games after a road-heavy start to the 2012 season. The local lads endured four straight road games out of the gate, going 2-1-1 in hostile territory. They finally got a home game last Sunday, but it was against a tremendously tough opponent. Facing the PCSL’s top team, the Kamloops Heat, Chilliwack dropped a 3-2 decision at Townsend Park.
The veteran Heat, loaded with experienced university-level talent, had the locals down 2-0 midway through the first half. But Chilliwack’s Zenow Renaerts put some life into his squad, rifling a shot from 25 yards out to make it 2-1 at the break. Renaerts and company pressed forward in the second half, but the search for the equalizer left them vulnerable at the back end, and Kamloops restored their lead on a free-kick tally. Chilliwack scored late

as Connor MacMillan converted a cross from striker Yen Westeringh. But time ran out. Chilliwack has this weekend off before settling into a stretch of four consecutive home games. They host Victoria United (June 16), the Mid Isle Highlanders (June 17), the Penticton Pinnacles (June 23) and TSS Academy (June 27). Chilliwack’s 2-2-1 record has them fifth in the seven team circuit. Get league info online at pcsl.org.
appointing elimination race, but excelled in another five events to win silver. He finished seventh at the 2008 Beijing Olympics and he’s hoping to do very well in London. Tara Whitten, a two-time world champion in women’s omnium, finished fourth, missing the podium for the first time in her career.” The Canadian women’s team pursuit broke a world record, but had to settle for silver behind an even better performance from Great Britain. Turner, the owner of Chilliwack’s Optimum Sport Performance and Health Centre, was track-side for it all, sporting an ear-to-ear grin. “I travel to many World Cups and World Championships, but the London World Cup was different,” she said. “The stakes seemed higher. The atmosphere seemed more exciting and the track was fresh, new and unused. Security was a lot tighter than normal, and we were surrounded by half-completed and completed Olympic venues.” Turner is doing a
residency in chiropractic sport sciences and specializes in ‘active release technique.’ “It’s a soft tissue technique that helps break up adhesions and scar tissue that forms in the muscles, tendons, ligaments and fascia due to trauma or overuse,” she explained. “I also use Graston technique, modalities and exercise prescription as part of my treatment plans.” Turner has worked with the Canadian Cycling Association since 2007, primarily in track cycling but more recently with BMX as well. “The travel is definitely a challenge at times, but being at World Cup races allows me to see my athletes train and race, and fully understand the mechanics that are required to make a successful cycling track athlete,” she said. “Combining these trips with sessions at my clinics, I am able to better monitor their progress and build subsequent treatments. This allows me to make a bigger difference as I focus on both injury prevention and performance enhancement.” The travel has also
allowed Turner to create an expanding network of sports medicine contacts. “I’ve been able to connect with therapists of other teams and understand some of the other techniques that they have found successful, and I feel I’m on the cutting edge of different techniques,” she said. “I’ve befriended the chiropractor and physiotherapists for the New Zealand team, the osteopath for the Germans, the naturopath that works with France and the Danish athletic trainer/acupuncturist. These connections are of tremendous benefit to my practice and the way I assess and treat athletes.” Turner will be utilizing her skills on the biggest sporting stage in just 50 days. She can’t wait. “I hope that this will be the first of many games in my chiropractic career,” she said. Get info on Turner’s Chilliwack clinic online at optimumclinic.ca.

Clapp happy with tournament win Chilliwack Golf and Country Club’s Brad Clapp finished nine strokes ahead of anyone else to win the Professional Golfers’ Association of British Columbia Assistants’ Championship. Clapp, the assistant teach-
ing pro at CG&CC, beat the course record two days in a row at the Vernon Golf and Country Club. Clapp recorded 17 birdies and no bogies over two rounds. Clapp has been on a roll of late.
In the last week of May he finished in a tie for fourth place at a Vancouver Golf Tour stop at the Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club. Clapp shot a three under par 70 at that tournament, pocketing $850 for his efforts.
Crusader crew overcomes inexperience The Crusaders dragon boat team cruised to a fifth place finish in the A division last Saturday at the Dragonzone 500m regatta, held on the waters of False Creek Village Centre.
The team’s performance was remarkable given the inexperience of the crew. The Crusaders entered the regatta with eight first-year paddlers, two who hadn’t practised this year and two who had no

Craddock leaves Cascades to join Golden Bears
Barnaby Craddock will be leaving his position as head coach of the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades men’s basketball team to take the same job with the University of Alberta Golden Bears. Craddock came to UFV five years ago from Brandon University. Under Barnaby’s leadership the Cascades reached new heights, culminating with the program’s first trip to the CIS Final 8 national championship, held in Halifax, Nova Scotia, this past March. The Cascades earned the 2012 Canada West
silver medal, losing by one point (72-71) to Craddock’s new team, and were ranked fourth in the CIS top 10 poll for the majority of the regular season. UFV would go on to earn a berth in the CIS Final 4 by defeating Lakehead University (OUA) 83-71 in the CIS quarterfinal game. Craddock’s Canada West regular and post season record at UFV, over five years, was 57-62. Under Craddock, several Cascades earned Canada West honors. Coquitlam’s Sam Freeman was named Canada West rookie of the year in 2009-10. Abbotsford’s Joel Friesen was named to the Canada West second all-star team in 2010-11 and first team in 2011-12 and Surrey’s Kyle Grewal was named to the 2012 CIS Final 8 all-tournament
team for his 35 point performance against St. Francis Xavier University (AUS) in the bronze medal game. “On behalf of UFV, I would like to thank Barnaby for his five years of service to the school and the leadership he provided to the many student-athletes during his tenure with the Cascades,” said UFV’s interim athletic director Chris Bertram. “Ever yone at UFV wishes Barnaby all the best with his new role in Alberta.” A national job search to fill the vacant men’s basketball position will commence immediately. Sardis secondar y school head coach Kyle Graves has been an assistant with UFV the past few seasons and will likely be interested in the job. Get UFV info at ufv. ca/athletics.

Ex-Canuck joins Eagles Former Vancouver Canucks forward Peter Schaefer is trading in his skates for a whistle, joining the coaching staff of the BCHL’s Surrey Eagles. Schaefer has signed on as an assistant coach with a focus on player development. The 34-year-old wrapped up his professional career two years ago, splitting his final season between the National Hockey League Canucks and German League’s
Ingolstadt ERC. Schaefer logged nine seasons in the NHL and looks forward to the new opportunity. “It’s exciting for me to join an organization that has been very successful on the ice, and helped 13 players get university scholarships last season alone,” Schaefer said. “I hope to use my experience to help the players continue to improve and reach their full potential both on and off the ice.” Eagles head coach and general manager Matt Erhart says Schaefer’s resume instantly improves the Eagles. “I am excited about the addition of Peter
to the coaching staff,” Erhart said. “He brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the program and will be very beneficial in assisting the players in helping them reach their hockey goals.” Schaefer never played in the BCHL, opting for the major junior route and the Western Hockey League’s Brandon Wheat Kings. Schaefer scored 124 goals and 172 assists in just over three seasons in the Dub. He played internationally as a member of the Canadian World Junior team in 1997. He played in the IIHF World Championships on two occasions.

When you need an agent you can count on, I am a high energy full time Realtor who is determined to deliver the very best service to every client while ensuring their dreams are fulfilled. I have lived and worked in many areas of Chilliwack for over 30 years, prior to real estate sales as a mortgage professional and a small business owner, which has helped me gain insight to Chilliwack and its various neighbourhoods. With my background in real estate financing, I can guide you through the buying process with ease. Listings wanted…if you are thinking of selling the market is active…now is a great time to sell. You can count on me to get your home sold quickly and for top dollar! No one sells more real estate than RE/MAX and I am proud to be aligned with Chilliwack’s top selling office. I love to talk with clients and prospective clients and welcome your calls.
Pricing your home and dealing with a ‘low ball’ offer It is possible to list a home for a little more than it may be worth in the hopes that you get just the right buyer who just loves your home! However, if you want to sell your home in a reasonable time, price your home closer to true market value. If you set your price close to the market value as advised by your Realtor, you greatly increase your chances of getting good offers that will result in a sale. When should you lower your asking price? If your house has been on the market for some time and there have been showings but no bites, you might be wondering if you should consider a price reduction. You want to get as much as you can for your home, but more important, you want it to sell! This may be the time to have a discussion with your Realtor and follow the advice they give you. While price may be a major factor, it may not be the only consideration. Are you making your house easy for Realtors to show? Have you completed the necessary maintenance and cleaning so that your property is as appealing as possible? Review with your Realtor the current market conditions and the prices of other homes in your neighbourhood to determine that a price reduction is indeed in order. Even though your price may be competitive, the market place may be telling you that buyers just won’t pay what you would like to get. If all indicators point to a price reduction, it is better to do it sooner rather than later. Home sellers may be upset or feel insulted when a buyer offers a lower-than-expected price, but listen to your Realtor’s advice before
Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey. I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here. So I feel like I’m well qualified to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

rejecting the bid altogether. Bidders might extend low offers as a means of negotiation or they may believe the asking price is too high. However, they ultimately may be willing to pay more to close the deal. Sellers should never reject an offer from a qualified buyer; prior to making a counter offer which is exactly how your Realtor will most likely advise you. Another angle: It may not take many concessions from you to make a low offer work if the people who love your house also love to barter. Even though it seems that you are very far apart in dollars or terms, the real distance may not be all that great. Your Realtor can help you determine if the buyers are ready, willing, and able to carry through with the transaction. If they are qualified, the next step involves looking at your differences. Make a list of the discrepancies, and then begin to look for areas where you have some flexibility. You may have to go back and forth several times in order to make the transaction work. The trick is to be patient and to not take the process personally! A Realtor will look beyond the price when evaluating an offer. If the buyers’ financial qualifications are shaky or the offer has unsatisfactory terms or conditions, your Realtor will be there to minimize any risk to you and to address these items in your counter offer. Your Realtor’s job is not to make a decision for you, but to be sure that you understand fully what the offer includes and what is expected of you.

The Mission... The Vision... An Enduring Purpose... A Future Focus... Who Am I... My Promise... These words begin to describe how I differ for the norm. I have spent the past 16 years in the Sales, Marketing, and Advertising field. It is this background that gives me a unique perspective of how a home should be marketed. Are you tired of leaving messages that aren’t being returned? Do you find it annoying when the homes advertised in the newspapers are not as they seem? Wouldn’t it be nice to work with someone who understands your point of view? Nothing puts a bigger smile on my face than having satisfied clients whom I have helped to reach their real estate goals. I provide you with the highest degree of professional service excellence and customer satisfaction that is “TOUGH to BEAT.” I am Mike DellaFortuna, and it would be my pleasure to help you.

VOGTS Ralph
Anne always called Ralph her “Knight in shining armour.” Ralph passed away peacefully June 3, 2012 at Chilliwack Cascade Hospice after a long battle with cancer. He was born in Vancouver 1946 and grew up in the city. Shortly after starting his career with the Coca Cola company he had a chance meeting with a lovely young girl just recently arrived in Canada from England. He was immediately smitten with Anne, a feeling that never faded throughout 36 years of devoted marriage. Anne and her “knight in shining armour” retired to Chilliwack in 1999. Together they volunteered regularly with Community Services Time Out Program for seniors and put in countless hours backstage helping the Creative Outlet Studio with several productions and dance recitals, the most memorable of which may be the gingerbread work of art Ralph created for the lobby display of Sleeping Beauty. He and his bride enjoyed traveling, cruising to many exotic parts of the world. When at home, Ralph was active in the Chilliwack Dart League and Legion Branch 280. Ralph is survived by his wife Anne; twin sister Sharon (Walt); sister, Inge (Angelo, deceased); and sister in law, Sheila (Hardy, deceased).
