‘Explosive device’ found during Chilliwack drug search An “explosive device” surprised RCMP officers conducting a search of a suspected drug house on Nowell Street last week. Drug investigators suspect the device, which was not described in an RCMP news release, was likely stolen from a business involved in explosive work, and eventually made its way to the street. “Fortunately, our members were able to identify the device and ensure it was removed safely from the apartment without any further risk to the members of the occupants,” Sgt. Steven McLeod, supervisor of the Chilliwack detachment’s crime reduction unit, said in the release. He was not immediately available for comment Monday. Police said two males and a female were arrested as a result of the search and released on a promise to appear later in court. A large quantity of illegal drugs and cash believed to be related to drug trafficking were also seized, plus a firearm and a number of dangerous or prohibited weapons. Continued: DRUGS/ p14

Rehab closure ‘not carefully thought out’ Robert Freeman The Progress

The head of Chilliwack hospital doctors took the unusual step of going public last week in reaction to the closure of the hospital’s rehab unit by the Fraser Health Authority. “I would not normally talk to the press,” Dr. Ken Hirst told The Progress, “but this issue of how to manage our rehab floor is quite a significant issue and has quite a significant impact on patient care at the hospital.”
“We believe (the closure) has not really been carefully thought out,” he said, in terms of the impact on patient care and on other hospital departments that send patients recovering from the likes of strokes or major surgery to the rehab unit. “The ward as it currently stands is filled with patients that come from our own hospital setting ... it is completely utilized by the needs of our community,” he said. “It is not an under-utilized resource.” And rehab patients who are often elderly and may not recover
at home due to the lack of family or community support networks and need to return to the hospital will “lessen the availability of surgical and medical beds,” he said. “It makes the hospital even more inefficient in its ability to deliver what it should be doing, which is acute care,” he said. FHA officials say the decision to convert the unit to an outpatient clinic and send the more intensive rehab cases to Abbotsford is an “addition” to rehab options in Chilliwack, rather than a cut, and will result in better health out-
comes. A task force will also ensure that patients’ needs in terms of transportation and home support are met, and that consultations will take place with hospital doctors and community health agencies over the next couple of months. But Hirst, who is paid by the FHA to head up the hospital’s department of general practices, said any discussions with hospital doctors at this point will be about how to “manage the crisis” caused by the closure.

‘Super-hero’ sting leads to child luring charges against three men The Progress Charges against three men accused of child luring via the Internet are the result of the police investigation into “super-hero” stings by Chilliwack caped crusaders last year. But the outing of suspected sex predators by civilian vigilantes — whether dressed as Batman or not — isn’t something the RCMP wants to encourage. “It’s not something we condone,” Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said Friday.
Last week, a similar charge was stayed against a man the caped crusaders believed they had lured to Chilliwack with promises of sex with a 15-year-old girl. Hollingsworth said she could not comment on that case, but a Crown prosecutor told The Progress Friday that the charge was dropped because a conviction was unlikely based on the evidence. “In a nutshell, the evidence we had did not leave us with a substantial likelihood of conviction,” said Andrea Ormiston. A likelihood of conviction is one of the standards the Crown must meet
before proceeding with a criminal prosecution. Ormiston was unable to comment publicly on why the evidence was deemed insufficient, or if it had been tainted by anything done by the young crusaders. The Chilliwack youths, one of them portraying a 15-year-old girl online, were setting up meetings for sex with adult men online and then, dressed as Batman or the Flash, confronting the men and posting the video results on a YouTube site called To Troll A Predator. “We understand that the males
involved had good intentions, but it can be challenging even for trained police officers to properly gather evidence in such a way that suspects can be charged,” Hollingsworth said in a Friday news release. “And significantly,” she added, “the males put themselves and other members of the public at risk by engaging in this type of activity, and that is never a good thing.” Hollingsworth said the news release was intended to confirm the charges, which have already been laid, stemmed from the police investigation sparked by actions of

Metro starts down P3 road for new waste incinerator Black Press Metro Vancouver’s proposed waste-toenergy project may end up being privately financed if the regional district’s application to Ottawa for federal funding as a private-public partnership is approved. The application for P3 Canada funding has split directors on the regional board, with some warning that building a new incinerator as a P3 could dramatically drive up the costs for taxpayers. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said the situation is reminiscent of the Canada Line, where private investors borrowed the

the Chilliwack youths. The three men charged are Andrew Karl Westerberg, 24, of Abbotsford; Todd Michael Paice, 48, of Chilliwack; and Kevin Robert Gill, 36, also of Chilliwack. Paice was a public school teacher in Chilliwack until his February arrest and subsequent suspension by the school district. His next court appearance was Monday in Chilliwack.

money to build the $2-billion rapid transit line at much higher interest rates than if it had been publicly financed. She noted the region gets favourable interest rates through its membership in the Municipal Finance Authority. “I have no problem with doing a P3 for design-build,” Jackson said. “But finance I think is not a wise choice. All that money and interest has to be paid back and the taxpayer ends up paying back a higher rate of interest.” P3 Canada-eligible projects must give the private partner not just a design-build role but also one of either operating, maintaining or financing it.
Comfort Class - Style Selection
Metro’s application proposes a designbuild-finance-operate P3, because projects with the most private sector involvement are expected to be preferred for funding. Board vice-chair Richard Walton supported the decision, saying Metro won’t yet be bound to that model and could revise it later. Metro staff and consultants are still determining a recommended business model for the new plant ahead of a call for proposals from potential partners. But Walton said the region had to apply by June 15 to have a shot at a grant. Continued: WTE/ p9
Chilliwack RCMP are looking for witnesses to an assault that happened on June 6 at approximately 11 p.m. on Fairfield Island. A 46-year-old woman was jogging home along Hope River Road after leaving a friends house when she was assaulted by an unknown man near the front entrance to Gwynne Vaughan Park. The woman fought back and the man ran south towards the river. The victim was taken by police to Chilliwack General Hospital, suffering superficial injuries. She was released from hospital shortly after. The victim described the suspect as approximately 30 years old, caucasian, with short dark hair and a long, thin face. He was wearing dark coloured pants and a dark coloured long-sleeved shirt. The victim will be working with a sketch artist to compose a composite drawing of the suspect. Once the composite is complete it will be shared with the public in hopes the suspect will be identified. The victim and suspect are not known to each other, and at this time, investigators believe the intentions of the alleged suspect were sexual in nature. “Police are in the initial stages of the investigation and are currently looking for any potential witnesses and are trying to determine the exact motive for this attack, said Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth. “In these types of investigations, the police rely on the public to assist us as they are the eyes and ears of the community. Obviously, this incident is very concerning to the police and at this point we can say this is an isolated incident. We do, however, want to remind women, if possible, to jog with a friend, in daylight hours, and carry a cell phone.” Anyone who witnessed the assault or saw anyone suspicious in the area at the time of the assault, is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

News Sasquatch researchers set on finding creature Jessica Peters Black Press “Don’t go anywhere without your camera,” Thomas Steenburg advised during Sasquatch Days in Harrison this weekend. He’s been hunting the elusive creature, and its cousin Big Foot, for more than three decades. Steenburg and Bill Miller were on hand at Harrison Memorial Hall to discuss their research with the public, as part of the resurrected festival. Both have had close encounters with what could be a Sasquatch, they maintain. And through years of pouring over photos, videos and stories, as well as embarking on hunting expeditions has only steeled their resolve that the Sasquatch is out there — somewhere. There have been sightings in Harrison, even very recently, on both sides of the lake. Miller actually had his brush with the captivating creature in Minnesota in 1980, on a fishing trip.

“A bi-ped ran right past us,” he said. “For many years I didn’t think nothin’ of it.” But he always remembered the encounter, and it became a favourite story of family folklore — not unlike the re-telling of Sasquatch encounters in First Nation history locally. It wasn’t until 1998 that he started to get serious about the Sasquatch, when he
came to a convention in Harrison and met Steenburg and John Green, Harrison’s very own Sasquatch expert. “I met all these people who were really serious about it,” he said. Now the two run Sasquatch Countr y Adventures, along with Barry Blount, conducting tours while keeping an eagle eye open for more sightings. Miller and Steenburg par-
ticipated in a documentary called Bigfoot’s Reflection, and both men have been featured in many newspaper stories and other media. Sasquatch Days in Harrison Hot Springs this weekend was a perfect opportunity for the experts to provide more information to the public. The festival was resurrected after being in hiatus for about 70 years.

Watching the river As the water continues to rise on the Fraser River, it’s hard not to think about the floods that devastated Chilliwack in the past. But much has changed since 1948, and certainly 1894. Even the high-water mark of 2007 presented more of a threat to the community than circumstances today. The difference is the ongoing improvements to Chilliwack’s flood defences: Its extensive network of dikes, and pumping stations. That doesn’t mean the city is immune from flooding. What it does mean is that the water has to get a lot higher than it is right now to pose a risk. River levels remained steady last week after rain and warming temperatures brought the Fraser to 4.5 metres at the Mission gauge (where Chilliwack draws its benchmark measurements). They peaked again at 5.2 metres on Sunday and Monday as water from the upper Fraser – which prompted isolated evacuation orders in Prince George on Friday – arrived here. That’s still below the point were Chilliwack flood response kicks in. For that to happen, the river has to
The Chilliwack

R AESIDE
reach 5.5 metres. That’s when limited flooding in areas outside the dike may occur, and the city begins making regular patrols. The river has to reach seven meters for those dike patrols to go to 24 hours. That’s half a metre below the level reached in the great flood of 1948, when a breach in a dike near Greendale caused massive flooding. Since then the dikes have been built higher, they’ve been extended, and additional pumping stations have been put in place. All this, of course, does not rule out the possibility that Chilliwack will again experience significant flooding. Most of the city, after all, is on a floodplain. The snowpack was exceptionally high this year and as that snow melts, the water will be coming our way. But perspective is important. As continued reports warn of rising river levels, or floods in communities upstream, understanding the capabilities of the diking system protecting Chilliwack can mean the difference between panic and preparation. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Genetics behind a thoroughbred’s race to victory It was absolutely stunning news Friday when it was announced Canadian-owned thoroughbred I’ll Have Another not only wouldn’t run in the Belmont Stakes but was retired from his racing career. He has the start of tendonitis in his left front leg. Tendon injuries heal over time but the tendon may not always recover to its former strength, compromising chances at elite racing success. Sometimes a tendon issue may heighten the risk of catastrophic injury. The colt’s career earnings though have only just begun. With the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness wins under his saddle and with a Northern Dancer pedigree, his stud fees will soar and he’ll earn far more as a breeding stallion than he’ll ever earn accumulatively in racing. If he stands at stud for just, say, $100,000 and he covers 40 mares a year that’s

an annual $4 million. And that’s hugely conservative in both fees and mares covered. He could have 15 years at stud so do the math. For Mexicanborn Canadian jockey Mario Gutierrez, who raced at Hastings Race Course for six years, he already has star power. There’s plenty of time Margaret for him to mount EVANS another great horse, perhaps even an offspring of I’ll Have Another. What is it about the thoroughbred that stands the breed apart from others? The ‘speed gene’. And a little Shetland mare that started it all. Genetic scientists at the
University College Dublin have traced the origin of the speed gene in Thoroughbreds back to a single British mare that lived in the U.K. around 300 years ago. Their research appeared in the science journal Nature Communications. “The Shetland represents just one of many local British horse types which, according to historical sources, were highly prized for their racing ability before the Thoroughbred was formally established,” explained Dr. Emmeline Hill, genomics scientist at the UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science. “We’re not suggesting that Shetlands were speedy in themselves but rather that their genes, that are shared with ancestral populations, have made a key contribution to the Thoroughbred. Our results strongly suggest that the speed variant (C) of the myostatin gene
(central to the control of muscle mass) entered the thoroughbred gene pool only once, around 300 years ago, and is likely to have come from a British native mare.” The data showed that the highest frequency of the C-type speed variant gene from the DNA of nearly 1,000 horses from many breeds that were screened was among the Shetland population. Then, in analyzing the modern day expansion of the original speed gene, the scientists traced all the modern variants to Nearctic and his colt, legendary Canadian-bred Northern Dancer who, like I’ll Have Another, won the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes. And that’s where I’ll Have Another’s pedigree kicks in and where his genetics for speed seem to have really aligned. He has inherited the genetic

qualities of the speed gene of Northern Dancer from both his sire (Flower Alley) and dam (Arch’s Gal Edith). He will stand to pass that heritage on to his offspring. Friday was a brutally emotional roller-coaster for the colt’s owner, J. Paul Reddam, trainer Doug O’Neill, Mario Gutierrez and their families and staff, not to mention horse racing fans and the thousands who have tuned into this sport to follow the colt’s career. I’ll Have Another knew how to get to the finish line. He was chasing a piece of history. But in the vagaries of this sport, all it takes is a knock, a bobble, to change outcomes, shift odds. The horse’s greatness is in his genes and he may yet still chase the Triple Crown in the flying hooves of his progeny.

Don’t get hung up on ALR Recent new interest in the proposed expansion of some Upper Fraser Valley businesses into ALR land brought me to wonder about the general application of ALR status. Placing an industrial or commercial building onto this land is, supposedly, not allowed because of loss of farm land which is a worthy goal but does not seem to line up with other events. It is acceptable to concrete over and build on this same land in order to construct a large barn, warehouse/distribu-
tion for farm products, or other “agricultural related” purposes. In this sense, what would be the difference, from the perspective of an earth worm, of the construction? It may be past time to reexamine the concept of ALR status so as to approach the issue of finite amount of agricultural land from a rational perspective. This issue is a complex one because the “interests” of people driving by must not take precedence over the real interests of farmers who own and are responsible for that land. If
non-owners insist on exercising some control over land, it must respect those materially affected. Perhaps someone will decide to build some large pig barns on the disputed land which will settle the question.... Oh wait, wouldn’t that pave the land over? Instead of angry denunciations, it might be better to decide on what is really needed and how those materially affected would be compensated? Norm Keller
Diamond Jubilee an obscene display For days we’ve been subjected to a nauseating saturation coverage of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations. It’s the face of grinding austerity for working people throughout Britain and Europe, it is estimated that the taxpayer cost of the celebrations, including security and the extra public Bank Holiday, will be around £1.2 billion. Yet, according to a recent Brand Finance report, the tangible assets of the royal family, including the Duchy of Cornwall with around 133,658 acres, over 23 counties,
are worth an estimated £18 billion. Yes, the Queen has “reigned over us” for 60 years. Just what is it about a medieval oppressive institution that causes so many people to genuflect in awe? I personally find the whole spectacle and display of obscene wealth and privilege extremely repellent. Especially in a world of increasing inequalities of wealth, in which the world’s wealthiest 378 people have more wealth than the bottom 45 per cent of the world’s population.
How depraved is that? The only thing the fawning subjects of the monarchy got out of this madness is a pop concert featured on CBC television last night that plunged to new depths of sycophancy and deference. God save the Queen! Voltaire was right when he said that “The world will never be truly free until the last monarch is strangled in the entrails of the last priest.”

Different cemetery rules prompt questions My husband and I, both have parents buried in Chilliwack. Vedder View Gardens and Chilliwack Cemeteries, but that is where the similarity ends. We live in Chilliwack and visit both cemeteries often. Vedder View cemeteries are well maintained, groomed,
and has garbage containers and water available in several locations for public use. They allow family to place mementos, hanging baskets, plants, and statues, whatever we like, they even let us plant a lilac tree in honor of my mother. Chilliwack Cemeteries on the other hand, looks
dreary; the grass is long and has dried clippings all over the place. No garbage containers and no water supply that I have seen. We are not “allowed” to place personal items, or baskets… many times even the fresh flowers we place are gone within a couple of days. Our family
headstones were such a mess with moss and grass that we brought tools up ourselves to clean them and edge around them. What a shame. Why such different rules at local cemeteries? Mike and Mary-Anne Kaiser

work together to put on something fun and exciting for those in our school and community. Thank you everyone. It was a great evening and could not have happened without you. Well done.

River levels expected to decline Water levels in the Fraser River are expected to fall throughout the week after peaking Monday at around 5.2 metres. That’s still below the “bank full conditions” of 5.5 metres that initiate Chilliwack’s flood protection response and regular patrols of the city’s diking system. The provincial River Forecast Centre issued a high stream advisory for the Fraser on Monday, saying it expected peak flows near Hope to be around 10,000 metres per second – similar to what was seen in 2011. “This is below levels of concern for the Lower Fraser,” the center said, “but may cause localized issues in areas not protected by the diking system.” Heavy rains earlier in the week near Prince George were blamed for the surge. Flows were expected to decline throughout the remainder of the week, the forecast centre said.

News Consultations with Fraser Valley on WTE still coming “My view is you keep all those doors open going forward,” Walton said. The P3 Canada fund is to distribute more than $525 million by the end of 2013, with grants limited to 25 per cent of a project’s capital cost. Metro’s current waste-to-energy plant in south Burnaby was developed as a design-build-operate P3, with the region financing it and retaining ownership. Metro Vancouver still must carry out extensive studies and consultation with the Fraser Valley Regional District, where there are concerns a new incinerator would worsen air quality in the constrained airshed. Metro is also far from deciding where a new waste-to-energy plant might be built and whether it uses conventional incineration or some alternative technology. The region downsized the plan earlier this year, estimating it now needs extra disposal capacity of 250,000 to 400,000 tonnes per year – down from 500,000 to 600,000 – in light of declining garbage volumes. The Metro application will have at least one more local competitor for the same pool of federal money.

Parents and guardians who provide booze to their under-19 children are exempt from the tickets. “These changes give police and liquor inspectors another tool to make it harder for minors to get alcohol,” said Rich Coleman, minister responsible for liquor and gambling policy. The new tickets are part of an effort by the B.C. government to streamline the court system, after imposing new administrative penalties for impaired driving. For supplying alcohol to minors, police previously handed out court appearance notices.

News Job search, assistance benefits extended Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government is extending the mandatory job search for new income assistance applicants from three to five weeks, and increasing the amount of earned income people can keep without losing part of their welfare payments. Premier Christy Clark and Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux announced a list of reforms to the income assistance program Monday. Employable social assistance recipients will now be able to earn up to $200 per month without losing benefits, and recipients will be required to file income tax returns. Cadieux said B.C. was the only province that deducted all the earned income from employable people. The $200 exemption will allow them to develop skills and take advantage of temporary work that becomes available, she said. People receiving disability benefits will now be able to retain up to $800 a month, up from $500. The exempted earnings can also be calculated as $9,600 a year, to allow disabled people to work more during times when their health allows it. Families on income assistance will get an increased school startup
supplement before each school year, up from $84 to $100 for each child aged five to 11, and an increase from $116 to $175 for children 12 and over who are returning to school. Clark said the total cost to taxpayers for enhanced
benefits will be about $5 million per year. The government is also easing restrictions on assets people can keep while collecting assistance. A single person can have up to $2,000, including cash, while families are allowed to have up to
$4,000 in assets. Disability assistance recipients can have up to $5,000 worth of assets for individuals and $10,000 for couples and families. Clients who are expected to work can keep a vehicle valued at up to $10,000.

Beer carts don’t need ICBC The B.C. government has changed regulations that required golf course beverage carts to be covered by an ICBC insurance policy. “Carr ying double coverage for liability wasn’t enhancing safety for golf course members and guests,” said Douglas Ferne of the National Golf Course Owners Association. “In fact, it was just creating more work and cost for golf courses, with no real benefits.” The change also relieves miniature cars such as those used in parades, as well as industrial utility vehicles that are only driven briefly to cross roads or get to a worksite. The new regulations require owners to have private third-party liability insurance.

“We (doctors) have a huge stake in how these patients are to be cared for, “ Hirst said, “but there has been no communication or apparent consideration of all the ramifications.” “I’m head of the department (yet) I was not aware of this,” he said. A Hospital Employees Union spokesman said there is no truth to speculation that a union protocol prevented the health authority from discussing the closure with hospital doctors before union members were informed. “We would never take a position that they shouldn’t (be included),” said Chris Dorais. “We would be saying they (doctors) deserve the same respect as anyone in the system.” Meanwhile, former rehab patients are speaking out about the closure and calling on local MLAs to stand up for the local service. “Why are we taking away something that has worked for six years and putting it closer to the bigger town centre?” Norma Jean Boisvert, caregiver/ partner to Glenda Jean Pearson, said. “This is a small town, but it is growing and we will need this,” she said. “It will come back at some point because somebody will turn the wheel and say, ‘Chilliwack needs a permanent rehab centre.’” “Why don’t we leave well enough alone?” Richard Rehsler, a double-amputee living in Yarrow, said chances are good he will need more rehab as infections compounded by diabetes takes its toll on his body. But there’s an “epidemic” of diabetes under way, and demand for rehab can only increase, he predicted. Rehsler said he was monitored daily by rehab staff, something that would not have happened at home. The clinic helped him kick a dependency on pain-killers, and he stayed physically fit in the clinic’s gym. There was also the “camaraderie” among rehab patients themselves that provided the kind of support that recovering at home could not match. “It makes all the difference in the world,” he said. Chilliwack MLA John Les said he is meeting next week with FHA CEO Dr. Nigel Murray to discuss the closure. “I will be having a pretty intense discussion next week with Dr. Murray,” he said. “It’s about time the community was shown some respect.” Chilliwack-Hope MLA Gwen O’Mahony is also asking questions about the decision, which she believes may be more expensive in the long run, if outpatients end up returning to hospital emergency rooms. “I have many concerns ... I just don’t see the benefits to Chilliwack,” she said.

DRUGS from Front “What was most surprising was the discovery of an explosive device that could have been used to cause significant injury to the occupants of those (apartment) units or members of the public,” McLeod said. The searches were sparked by information that occupants of the two apartment units were selling illegal drugs, he said, and the RCMP hope “continued partnerships with the community” will lead to more arrests.

These volunteer hours results in close to 450 million dollars being donated yearly. Lions clubs international work on a variety of goals, the most prominent of which is working to end preventable blindness. We have made great strides in this area but still have a long way to go. We Serve - 2012 marks 95 years since the ¿rst Lions club was formed in Chicago by businessman Melvin Jones. We remain optimistic about the continued growth of Lions Club International and indeed of our local Mount Cheam Lions Club.

A group of women gather regularly on Monday evenings and Wednesday afternoons at Community of Christ Church to knit prayer shawls for those in the community suffering illness, heartbreak, financial strain, or other such turmoil, in hopes of providing them a glimmer of comfort in their time of need. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Like a warm hug on a cold, cloudy day Katie Bartel The Progress Like a dance of their fingers, six women sat in the foyer of the Community of Christ Church knitting row after row of homespun yarn. Some of them counted the pattern beats in their heads: 1-2-3; 1-2-3; 1-2-3... Some kept close eyes on their work, making sure not to skip a loop. While others thought of the prayers they might extend to that particular shawl. Every Monday evening and Wednesday afternoon a group of ladies gather in the foyer of the Community of Christ Church on Carleton Avenue to knit shawls for people in need. While knitted shawls have comforted people for centuries – mothering, hugging, sheltering them – these shawls have an added com-
ponent that most others don’t. Every one made is blessed by at least one person, but oftentimes many more. “When people wrap the shawl around them, they can feel the warmth of the spirit,” said knitter Betty Williams. Like a warm hug on a cold, cloudy day. When longtime knitter Svea Mountenay moved into the Chilliwack congregation three years ago, she brought the prayer shawl ministry with her. The prayer shawl ministry was first started in the United States in 1998 by two women who believed the compassion and love of knit-
ting combined with a prayerful ministry could bring comfort and solace to people suffering illness, financial strain, emotional distress, and other such adversities. In Chilliwack, the crafters – nearly 20 in total – have created more than 450 shawls, distributing them with no strings attached. “They’re strictly a gift for comfort,” said knitter Janine McCully.
Using a seed pattern of knit three, purl three, the warm shoulder blankets are prayed on as soon as they have a designated recipient. Some are blessed right from the beginning, throughout the process, and again at completion when the knitters gather around, each holding a piece in their hands, while delivering a silent prayer. Completed shawls are also dis-

played at the front of church Sunday morning allowing others in the congregation to bless them if they so choose. “I pray in the sense of bringing hope and peace, and that when they put the shawl over their shoulders, they’ll feel that spirit and blessing,” said Williams. Knitter L ynda McKay’s husband felt strength with his shawl. As McKay, with her arthritic hands, slowly twisted the green yarn around her needles, she described her husband’s experience with mouth cancer, as he underwent two surgeries, chemotherapy and radiation treatments.

“Right from the start, he had his shawl wrapped around his shoulders,� said McKay, a warm smile creeping onto her face. “Normally mouth cancer patients don’t live long, but he’s our little blessing.� Others who have received the shawls have reported feeling tingles and goosebumps the moment they’ve been wrapped around their shoulders. Vilda Fetterly, who has been knitting for decades, summed up their power. “They’re knitted with love,� she said.

Local teacher up for national award Katie Bartel The Progress Highroad Academy’s ‘Mama Lade’ is up for a reward of a lifetime. Teacher Julie Lade, nicknamed Mama Lade, by her students, has been nominated for the Canadian Family Great Teacher Award, which could bring in $2,500 for the school if she wins. Out of more than 500 applicants, Lade’s nomination was one of 13 to make it into the semifinals. In order to win, she needs community votes. But the competition is fierce. Lade is up against teachers in big cities like Toronto, Edmonton, Richmond, and Peterborough that already have thousands of votes behind their names. Still, it’s not hard to see how the Chilliwack teacher got this far. Lade has been teaching at Highroad Academy for 21 years, but has been attached to the private school for the better part of 34 years.
When Highroad Academy opened in 1978, Lade began her adventure at the institution as a bright-eyed Grade 5 student. She met her husband at the school that same year, and several years later, had her own children attend the school. Her first full-time teaching position also came at the doors of Highroad. “I feel like Highroad is part of my DNA,” said Lade. Lade heads the humanities depar tment, teaching socials studies, English, law, and history. She’s in charge of student leadership and oversees the school’s ser vice and outreach program, which motivates students into making a difference in the community. Her lessons have also filtered out into the global community, leading missions trips to Thailand working with refugees from Burma, to the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver, to lessfortunate schools in the hills of Jamaica.
Final info session on domestic violence set for Wednesday Chilliwack RCMP present the sixth and final public information session surrounding domestic violence in the community this week. Area service providers have held a series of talks, detailing the services available to ensure victims of domestic violence, including women and all vulnerable persons, have access to the services that can assist them. One in four families is affected by violence, regardless of culture, socio-economic conditions, faith or education, experts say. Domestic violence and abuse does not discriminate, but it often escalates. It can be physical, emotional, sexual or verbal and is often used as a weapon of control and intimidation by a spouse or ex-spouse. The public information sessions are free of charge and are held at Chilliwack Community Services located at 45938 Wellington Avenue in Chilliwack. RCMP The final presentation will be held June 13, again at Chilliwack Community Services, located at 45938 Wellington Avenue in Chilliwack from 10:30 a.m. to noon. The Chilliwack RCMP will discuss what occurs when they receive a report of domestic violence. The police are mandated by the B.C. Ministry of Public Safety and the Solicitor General’s Violence Against Women in Relationships policy to attend all complaints of violence in relationships and must complete a thorough investigation. Victims often have no knowledge of who to turn to or are unsure of where to turn in the aftermath of a crime or sudden trauma. The Chilliwack RCMP Victims Services Unit will discuss the services they offer when called to attend a domestic incident as well as services and information they offer in the days following an incident. They will discuss their referral policy as well as the safety plan policy. For more information, call Cpl. Barb Vincent of the Chilliwack RCMP at (604) 702-4001.
“These trips have been an important part of what I get to do as a teacher, enabling students to see need and respond to it both in our local community and beyond,” said Lade. Next year Lade will be taking over as head of the high school. “I love the kids,” she said. “I love that nothing is the same. I love the passion and energy. I love being a part of their lives and seeing them understand new concepts.”
Teaching for her isn’t just about teaching textbook material, it’s about building relationships, and starting students on a lifelong path of learning. “A lot of my students call me Mama Lade because the role I have here is in many ways like a parent,” she said. “I want my students to know that I care about them, and I think they’re important, and that they have a role to play in this world that nobody can play except them.”
The top three winners of the Great Teacher Award will receive $2,500 to be used toward programming and supplies for their school. They will also be featured in the September issue of Canadian Family magazine. To vote for Lade, go to the website www. c a n a d i a n f a m i l y. c a / teacherawards. Votes can be cast daily until June 30. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Progress Eric
Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com
Sardis academy sends two to Royals Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Two graduating Sardis secondary school students will be playing ball at Douglas College next year, suiting up for the Royals. Brad Fitzsimmons and Kim Guliker are both graduates of the Sardis baseball academy. Fitzsimmons will be playing baseball at Douglas College. Guliker will be playing softball. “I got in touch with Douglas College through Shawn Corness, who’s part of the academy here,” Guliker explained. “Gord (Royals coach Collings) came to watch me play and apparently really liked me at lot. And he recruited me about a week and a half later.” A recent arrival in Chilliwack, Guliker moved from Mission two years ago, just as the Sardis academy was getting off the ground. “Shawn (Corness) knows a lot and he spends a lot of time working on the little things,” Guliker noted. “My batting was really messed up for a long time, but he noticed something with my swing and helped me fix it.” Guliker plays rep softball in Abbotsford, and that is where Collings watched her play. A naturally athletic shortstop, Guliker has
a strong arm and good range in the field. At the plate, she hits for average and has modest pop. “I was pretty excited that Douglas wanted me because I never really thought I was that good,” Guliker said. “I was thinking about money and part-time jobs and having to pay my way through school. This doesn’t give me a whole lot of financial help, but it lets me apply for courses before anyone else, which is nice.” Guliker has applied and been accepted to pursue a business degree. “I’ve been working at a cold storage place in Aldergrove, managing our shipping and receiving office,” she said. “I’m pretty good at it, and it comes pretty easy to me. Once I get a business degree, I’ll have a lot of options open to me.” Fitzsimmons isn’t as sure what he wants to do, and he’ll be going into general studies at Douglas. “After a year or two, maybe I’ll narrow it down,” he surmised. His primary focus is on the diamond, where he hopes the Royals will serve as a springboard to CIS baseball at the University of British Columbia. “Shawn (Corness) knows the coach at Douglas (Josh Ridgeway), and he thought it would be a
good spot for me if I eventually want to get to UBC,” Fitzsimmons said. “He got their coach to come out and watch a couple games of mine, and they ended up recruiting me.” Fitzsimmons came up through Chilliwack Minor Baseball, splitting time between the field and pitching mound. With the Royals, Fitsimmons will focus on pitching, looking to add velocity and hone his offerings (a twoseam fastball, changeup and curveball). “I throw decently hard (approximately 84-85 miles per hour) and I have a pretty good work ethic,” Fitzsimmons said. “The coach really appreciates a good work ethic, so that probably helped me a lot.” While Fitzsimmons has long thought about baseball’s potential to provide him with an education, he’s only started to consider it realistic in the last two years. Like Guliker, he gives a lot of credit to the baseball academy and the instruction of Corness. “This was a huge part of it,” he said, gesturing at the facility located on a piece of property on Keith Wilson Road. “Being able to throw every day and get your reps in every day, that’s the biggest thing. Training two or three days a week isn’t enough.”
Kim Guliker (left) and Brad Fitzsimmons (right) are heading to the same school post-graduation, jumping from Sardis secondary school to Douglas College. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Fitzsimmons expects a big leap in competition as he heads into the tough Northwest Athletic Association of Community Colleges (NWAAC) conference.
But the training he’s received in Chilliwack makes him feel ready for the challenge. “Their division is really competitive and a really big step up for
me,” he said. “They have some really good schools in the United States. The focus will be to get bigger, throw harder and refine what I’m doing on the

The 20-year-old played 115 games in the BCHL and suited up for all 60 this past season with the Chiefs. He also played a full season in Quesnel and appeared in a handful of games with the Trail Smoke Eaters in 2008 and 2009.
The five-foot-11 and 180 pound Kelowna native notched 16 goals and 26 assists in his junior A career to go along with 83 penalty minutes. The College of St. Scholastica is an NCAA Division III institution located in Duluth, Minnesota. With the Saints, Spring will skate alongside BCHL grads Bobby Lipsett, Brett Corcoran, Alex Valenti and Ryne Bodger.
Chilliwack’s U-21 Pacific Coast Soccer League women battled the Mid Isle Highlanders to a 2-2 draw at Townsend Park Saturday.
“It was a very good game, and it appears Mid Isle is the team to beat,” said CFC head coach Glenn Wilson. The teams had played just one week earlier, battling to a scoreless draw at Caledonia Park in Nanaimo. In the rematch, Wilson’s crew found themselves down 2-0 at halftime. “We showed great character to battle back in the second
half,” Wilson said. “We kept them under sustained pressure for the first 15 minutes of the second half and were rewarded with a well-taken goal from defender Rachel Pattenden.” Pattenden got the ball just inside the attacking half, cut inside from the right wing and delivered an unstoppable shot from 20 yards out. “Then, 10 minutes from the end
we deservedly equalized as Rachel Yang crossed from the right-hand side to striker Aileen Atkins,” Wilson said. “And she deflected the cross into the far corner of the net with her head.” Chilliwack is now five games into the season and they’ve tied all five. The good news is no losses. The flipside is no wins.
“I am confident that with the way we are improving with each game the wins will come soon,” Wilson noted. “We are the only unbeaten team in the division. Defensively we are very strong, and we have a top goalkeeper in 15-year-old Presley Roberts.” Chilliwack has a road game Sunday afternoon game against the NSGSC Stars.

until the sixth inning, when defensive mishaps helped the Mounties to five runs. Cougar Mike Rogers went the distance on the mound, allowing 11 hits while striking out seven. Chilliwack bounced back with an 8-2 win in the afternoon rematch. The game was even through two innings, until Mike Rogers was hit by a wild pitch. The plunking started a flurry of hits that culminated in a seven run inning. Cougar pitcher Derek Riediger went six innings, allowing only five hits. The Mounties loaded the bases in the
seventh inning, but Chilliwack relievers Matt Lamb and Evan Kellington shut them down. Kellington got the save. Sunday morning’s double-header with Richmond got off to a tepid start with a 4-3 loss. Chilliwack left several men on base in this one, scoring just three runs despite banging out nine hits. All of the scoring came in the first two innings. Pitcher Joe Pharand threw five-and-a-third innings, allowing five hits and striking out three.

Chilliwack FC product Thomas Davies has been recognized as the Youth Official of the Year by BC Soccer. The organization honoured 22 award winners and 13 scholarship recipients. Davies has advanced well up the ladder in organized soccer, officiating games at the CIS level. Most of his work has been done at the Pacific Coast Soccer League and BC Premier Youth League level, and Chilliwack FC president Andrea Laycock said the award is well deserved. “It’s also a real feather in Chilliwack FC’s cap to have the Youth Official of the Year come from our club,” she said. “Darshan Chand and Doug Summers have worked extremely hard to ensure our young referees are developing and have a mentoring system in place. Thomas’ success is a by-product of their efforts.” See bcsoccer.net for more.
