Board ‘cautiously optimistic with teacher deal

■ C OINTASTIC

Katie Bartel The Progress After a year in the trenches, B.C. teachers and the ministry of education have found peace. For now. The teachers’ union is recommending its members accept a one-year temporary collective agreement that was put forth Tuesday evening. The contract is essentially a roll-over from the teachers’ last contract, which expired one year ago, with some improvements to teacher benefits, but no wage increases, or changes in class size and composition – both of which were contentious issues early on in negotiations. When outgoing CTA president Katharin Midzain was notified of the deal, she said a wave of relief washed over her. “It’s always better to come to an agreement rather than have something imposed on you – always better,” she said. “[This agreement] means that teachers, parents and the public can go into the summer knowing that next year there will be a stable base that we can work from.” For the past year the teachers’ union and the government have been butting heads, which resulted in limited job action from September to March, a three-day full-scale walkout, Continued: TEACHERS/ p12

FVRD residents give gravel mining plan rocky ride Robert Freeman The Progress

$1.25

6-12H CS28

A public meeting on a controversial gravel mining plan nearly broke down Tuesday night as angry residents pummeled Fraser Valley Regional District directors for more than three hours. Not only were the FVRD board directors on the hot seat about the plan to locate future gravel mines in the region according to a proposed three-colour mapping scheme, they were also raked over the coals for the “secret” negotiations that led up to the Aggregate Pilot Project.

Most of the 200-plus audience that filled Evergreen Hall in Chilliwack came from the Lake Errock area in Electoral Area C where complaints about existing gravel mines and the proposed APP have festered for years. The one positive note heard during the meeting — a call for a “fresh start” to the planning process that would see the B.C. government use its purchasing power to control gravel mine locations — was almost lost in the bitterness over the lack of public input into developing the APP. At one point, an awkward silence ensued when it emerged that nei-

ther FVRD staff nor board members could explain why an area in Hatzic Prairie where gravel mining had been banned was changed to allow possible mining because the negotiations had taken place during “in camera” meetings that excluded the public. FVRD officials have argued that electoral area directors represented the public at the APP negotiations between the B.C. government, the gravel industry and the FVRD that started in 2004 under the direction of Abbotsford-Mission MLA Randy Hawes, who was then-minister of state for mining. FVRD chair Sharon Gaetz

chaired the Tuesday meeting attended by all the regional district directors. Lawyer John Conroy, a Hatzic Prairie resident, demanded to know what “evidence” was used to justify changing the APP map. “I want to know how that strip deemed unsuitable for a (gravel) pit in 2009 was deemed suitable in 2012,” he said. “If I don’t get an answer from you (Gaetz) or staff, I will go somewhere to compel you to answer,” he said, suggesting that the Supreme Court of Canada would favour constitutional rights over provincial legislation.

When Conroy persisted in his demand, Gaetz finally cut him off at the mike, and called for a fiveminute “recess” in the meeting. But in an apparent offhand remark, Gaetz then asked Conroy’s wife, who was next in the line of speakers, if her husband “always got his way at home.” Conroy and others in the audience were outraged. Resident Lea Ricketts said she was “stunned” by the “racist” remark, which she believed “made fun” of the lawyer’s gender and his marriage “and this is in a government meeting?” Continued: GRAVEL/ p10

School trustees accused of trying to hide information Katie Bartel The Progress What is Chilliwack school board trying to hide? That was the question repeatedly asked at Tuesday night’s school board meeting. In a last ditch effort, before the board breaks for summer, trustee Heather Maahs presented a motion to reinstate past practice of making board agendas public at least 48 hours before a meeting. Maahs, who tried to present this motion at past meetings but failed stated the board owes it to the public – “their employers” – to be transparent. With no advance warning, the

school district’s senior executive team, under the guidance of board chair Louise Piper, made the decision in April to stop distributing agendas the Friday before a public meeting, and instead post them online the day of the meetings. A notion Maahs has been opposed to from the get-go. “As a board we want to be engaging our community,” said Maahs. “I see no detriment at all,” in distributing the agendas in advance of meetings, “in fact, I think it might encourage more participation and engagement for the people. But by not distributing the agendas well in advance, “we’re giving parents the impression that we have something to hide,” said

Maahs. However, the majority of her colleagues felt the district needs to conduct a more thorough conversation into the matter. The motion was referred to the board policy committee with trustees Maahs, Silvia Dyck and Martha Wiens in opposition. While trustee Barry Neufeld said he wasn’t interested in having the agendas out for public consumption a full weekend before a meeting “to be picked over,” Piper said there was “no intent” in trying to silence anybody. Still, those in the gallery were not convinced. “What are you people trying to hide,” grandparent Donald Costin

Heather Maahs

accused. “Give the public the information, other wise why should we be here? If you’re going to curtail information, how are we to have meaningful discourse at

these meetings? “This is gradually becoming a one-way communication and as a parent and grandparent that really bothers me.” Gord Byers, president of the

District Parents’ Advisory Council, told trustees they were not giving the community enough time to read through and digest the information in the agendas prior to the meetings. Byers, who has a family and a full-time job, said if it was a choice between spending time with his children in the hours before he has to attend a meeting, or pouring over packages that are often more than 100 pages thick, he’s going to choose his family. Parent Don Davis agreed. “It’s a lot to digest in a very short time,” he said referring to Tuesday’s 156-page agenda. Continued: AGENDA/ p9

Art wall will carry message of safety Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A colourful mural conveying a strong safety message is about to grace a northeast wall of Prospera Centre. About 25 members of the Fraser Valley Brain Injury Association will be painting scenes of physical activity this summer, with an emphasis on both health and safety. The art work will proceed under the direction of local artist John Le Flock and photographer Stephan Baker.

The artists, who are all survivors of acquired brain injury, have so far completed four panels that will act as a design guide for the giant mural, which will eventually cover more than 200 square feet of the building. “We are thrilled to launch this fantastic project,” said FVBIA executive director Carol Paetkau on Tuesday. Plans for the mural started in May, and it should be completed by August, she said. The art wall project is part of the FVBIA’s Pay It Forward program, focused on Health

and Wellness for Acquired Brain Injury. Prospera Centre CEO Glen Ringdal invited Chilliwackians to come take a look at the art work when it’s done, and appreciate all the talent and hard work that’s gone into it. “I also hope they take away a message of hope,” he said. “We are extremely pleased to be able to provide a canvas for these artists to give such an important message to our community.” Mayor Sharon Gaetz praised the art wall project and noted

that sometimes “beauty can come from tragedy.” The mayor also commented on the poignancy of the safety message. “It’s very moving to me,” she told the small crowd. “Just the fact that the artists recognize how important it is to protect your noggin.” Every figure depicted in the mural engaged in a potentially dangerous physical activity is wearing a protective helmet of some kind. “That sends a strong message,” Gaetz said.

The Chilliwack Paramount Theatre has just made the Top 10 Endangered Places list put out by the Heritage Canada Foundation. “It’s great news,” said Laura Reid, member of the Save the Chilliwack Paramount group, which submitted a nomination in February. “Thanks to our hard-working group, the Paramount Theatre has been included on this annual list.” The 1949 movie theatre building is not a designated heritage site but it is listed on City of Chilliwack’s heritage inventory. The building was added to the “endangered places” list based on its historical significance, the urgency of the situation and the level of community support. “This will hopefully add some national exposure to the cause,” Reid said. The group has amassed about $20,000 in pledges and another $150,000 in pledged services and materials in kind, to start on the restoration of the building. But it will take an estimated $300,000 just to restore and repair the building. “Architecturally, the cinema declares its roots in the ‘International style’ — characterized by vertical and horizontal lines with little ornamentation — with traces of Art Deco influences in its signage and fluted façade. Solidly built, the movie house features laminated firewalls and is constructed of reinforced concrete and 60 tons of structural steel,” according to a description on the endangered list. Find out more about the listing at: www. heritagecanada.org/en/issues-campaigns/ top-ten-endangered The Save the Chilliwack Paramount Theatre group submitted its business proposal to the city on June 21 and is waiting for a response.

In turn the people send the salmon bones back to the Salmon People, and that’s part of the tradition that is still followed today in the First Salmon Ceremony. “He was a great storyteller. He’d make a boring story funny and really exciting,” Malloway said. The Sto:lo Gift Shop was also re-opened and guests took tours of the newly completed ethnobotanical garden and the under-construction longhouse on the site.

Some appreciated their lunch even more when they realized what it took to catch those red springs during a high-water year. It was, in fact, a little harder than normal for the local fishermen to navigate the swollen waters of the mighty Fraser to net fish for the salmon ceremony, said Sto:lo grand chief Ken Malloway. “But I think we managed to have enough to feed everyone today,” he said. In past years, the First Salmon ceremony would typically take place in April. “It’s late this year,” said the Sto:lo fisherman, who is also a member of the Fraser River Panel of the Pacific Salmon Commission.

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress There’s another pulse of water on its way down the Fraser River. But that could be the last. Heavy rainfall and rapid snowmelt from the Thompson and up north has been making its way down the Fraser all week long. Peak levels are expected to be reached sometime over the weekend and they’re calling for up to 6.4 metres at the Mission gauge. BC River Forecast Centre is maintaining its high streamflow advisory for the Lower Fraser River. Water levels are rising currently, and were measured 6.15 metres at the Mission gauge Wednesday morning, and flowing at 11,000 cubic metres per second at Hope. The peak flows are now estimated at 11,400 to 11,800 cu. m/s at Hope, reaching heights of 6.3 or 6.4 at Mission – still well below the capacity Chilliwack’s dikes are built for. The peak will reach Hope by late-Thursday to Saturday, and somewhere between Friday and Sunday for Mission and points downstream.

R AESIDE

‘Crazy’ sentencing Words of a rioter sentenced last week to one month in jail have plenty of meaning. “This is crazy,” Emmanuel Alviar reportedly said after a judge delivered a sentence to the Surrey man for his role in the Stanley Cup riot one year ago. While we applaud the sentence handed down to a rioter this week, the judge’s decision illustrates the disparities in our justice system. Alviar called his sentence “crazy,” presumably because he had no prior criminal record, turned himself in and pleaded guilty. The 20-year-old also got 16 months of probation and 150 hours of community service. Alviar is the second rioter to be sentenced. There’s lots more to come. Remembering the devastation rioters inflicted on the Olympic city – in front of the eyes of the world – perhaps Alviar actually got off easy. Punks of the world need to know this sort of anti-social behaviour is not only unacceptable, but there are consequences to such negative actions. But looking at some other recent sentences for completely unrelated cases, it leads us to question how sentences are landed upon by our justice system. Hardened criminals are set free with a slap on the wrist; killers get off with little more than a stern lecture. Take the case of Del Louie, for instance. Louie sucker-punched a Coast Mountain bus driver in Burnaby last year, leaving the driver unable to work. For that, he got an 18-month conditional sentence – to be served in the community – and two years’ probation. Earlier this month a spokesperson for a victim services group said it’s almost as if the emphasis has gone from the person who committed the crime to the general public – to keep themselves safe. In such cases, it’s difficult to understand how a sentence is arrived at – particularly for the victims and their families. For the many more rioters who are awaiting trials, one can only hope they’ll have surprising sentences like Emmanuel Alviar. Victims—and the public—deserve it. ~ Black Press

‘Poverty’ declines, and nobody notices VICTORIA – You probably didn’t hear this on TV, the percentage of Canadians deemed “low income” went down slightly in 2010, according to the latest Statistics Canada analysis. This news was delivered in the annual “Income of Canadians” report last week. The share of people who fall below the federal Low-Income Cut-Off (LICO) went from 9.5 per cent to 9.0. The CBC couldn’t bring itself to admit any actual improvement, reporting on its website that the number of people with “low income” was about three million, “virtually unchanged from 2009.” Other media outlets followed the unwritten rule that nothing remotely positive must be presented as news, particularly if it reflects positively on a rightwing government. (Plus they had the Montreal body-parts case to update each day.)

This information likely won’t have any effect on the political discussion about “poverty” in B.C. The LICO survey will continue to be used as a measure of absolute poverty, despite the fact that it isn’t. It’s a relative measure that will always designate the same share of people at the low end of the scale. BC Stats, the Tom provincial equivaFLETCHER lent of the federal agency, explained this problem in a special report last year. “To illustrate,” the report said, “take a hypothetical future Canada where every citizen earns no less than $100,000 (and assume there has not been rampant inflation in the meantime, such that buying power is not dissimilar to what

exists today) and millionaires are common. “In that kind of Canada, those at the low end of the income scale (that is, those earning ‘merely’ $100,000) would be considered poor if LICOs were used as a measure of poverty.” Math aside, that’s the alleged “poverty line” routinely cited by the usual media authorities, like B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair. Sinclair campaigned for years to get the B.C. government to raise the minimum wage from $8 to $10 an hour. They did, in three increments, and on May 1 it increased to $10.25 an hour. As soon as the series of three increases was announced last November, Sinclair called a news conference to announce it’s not enough. To get to the LICO level, the minimum wage should be $11.50 an hour, Sinclair said. Of course,

if B.C. businesses ponied up for that, the goalposts would shift again and the same proportion of “poverty” would magically still exist. The B.C. NDP governmentin-waiting continues to demand an “action plan” on poverty, with annual goals. All the progressive provinces have one, which I guess is why poverty is all but eradicated in enlightened places like Manitoba. There are signs of the reality behind this political smokescreen. Here’s one. For what may be the first time in history, we now have a North American society where one of the most reliable indicators of poverty is obesity. This often gets explained away with a popular theory that poor people are somehow forced to eat fast food and drink pop because they can’t afford healthy food.

People who advance this theory presumably don’t do much grocery shopping. There are plenty of processed, sugary, fat-laden choices at the supermarket too. But there is also whole wheat bread, rice and fresh or frozen vegetables that are as cheap as anywhere in the world. Given basic cooking skills and some effort, it’s easy to demonstrate which diet is cheaper as well as healthier. Most immigrants know this. Which diet you choose isn’t a function of money, but rather one of education and self-discipline. There is genuine poverty in our society. One of the things that’s needed is a useful way to define it.. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

full 2,186 more votes. It is painfully clear that if supporters of free enterprise politics had stayed united under one coalition, O’Mahony wouldn’t be celebrating the opening of her new office (which, by the way, is far outside the boundaries of the actual riding). All of the candidates worked hard to win the byelection – no one would dispute that. However, while looking at her campaign

through rose-coloured glasses might make the author of this letter feel a sense of accomplishment, there is no way to dispute the fact that a split amongst free enterprise voters was the key to O’Mahony’s success. Her win was legitimate – but the numbers don’t lie about what made that possible. Collin Rogers Chilliwack-Hope Voter

Bus system ‘improvements’ challenged Re Better bus service arrives in Chilliwack I would like to dispute the word “better.” Although it is nice that we finally have service to Eagle Landing, many riders of Chilliwack are very upset at the cuts and rescheduling made on the other routes, and the bus drivers themselves have said many of the changes make no

sense. Frequency might have increased, but if you need to walk an extra 10 minutes to get to the bus stop and then make another longer trek from the bus stop, then there’s really no point in taking the bus as it can be almost or just as quick to walk. Or you can stay home. Or you can take the car. With the rescheduling,

many Stream employees are now left high and dry at the beginning of the day because that route will now arrive later than it currently does. For myself, what was once a 15-minute trip including walking to and from the bus stops, has now become a 35 to 40-minute sojourn which includes leaving my house 20 minutes

How often are we humbled by a complete stranger? Getting up this morning I was grumping about our June-uary weather. I grumped my way to the kitchen, grumped as I had coffee and grumped as I started folding the laundry. My hubby came in with the newspaper and an extra surprise. There was a booklet called ‘A Penny by the Front Gate’ with a

note inside saying, “Hi, My name is George Fraser and I live in Abbotsford. The first seven years of my life was spent on a 20-acre farm situated on the South East corner of Promontory and Tesky Rd. (Where you now live.) This was during the Great Depression when times were tough. Nothing much happened way back then, but I hope this will give you a

Split on the right key to win In response to Mr. Herrington’s letter in the June 19, 2012 edition of the Chilliwack Progress: Claiming that a “right-wing split” wasn’t the reason Gwen O’Mahony won April’s by-election basically amounts to burying ones face firmly in the sand. The numbers don’t lie; O’Mahony and the BCNDP received 6,022 votes in the byelection, but the combined votes of the two free enterprise parties was 8,208 – a

AGENDA from p3 “I’m trying to be invested in my children’s education.” Davis said. “I’m trying to participate as best I can. But it’s become very difficult … with the tight time frame we’ve been given to read the agendas and to even absorb what’s being put through.” Following the meeting, Maahs further expressed her displeasure at the ongoing issue. “I don’t understand why the other trustees are hedging, because if we truly had nothing to hide, why isn’t the public getting the agendas at the same time we’re getting them?” she said. “This is not rocket science, it’s pretty simple, it’s something we actually owe our public to do.”

QUESTION:

I am in my mid 20’s and have been wondering if I am ‘too young’ to consider Botox treatments®?

- Jodi, Abbotsford

ly Show On 5 1 $ tax! including

ANSWER: This is a great question as we are now seeing a lot of patients in their 20’s who are interested in Botox. Many young patients are having Botox injections to reduce the chance of fine lines and wrinkles appearing in the future. This is a preventative measure before those lines are ‘etched’ on your face. A great way to prevent the aging process is to have low dose, infrequent Botox injections. This will help to change the muscle memory in overused muscles that create these lines. A typical area to consider starting these treatments will be frownlines and or lines around the eyes (crowsfeet). I often get asked if these preventative measures will escalate the wrinkling process when you stop – absolute not!!

Residents clash over gravel plan GRAVEL from Front “She’s not following her own rules,” resident Elizabeth Pellizzari spat. “They’re totally putting us down.” Gaetz apologized for the remark when the meeting resumed, but still admonished the crowd that she would adjourn the meeting, if she could not get the audience under control. “We are all grown-ups in this room,” she said. MLA Hawes later answered Conroy’s map question saying he believed a “mine-able supply” of gravel had been identified in the area, so it became a yellow rather than a red area, in the APP’s mapping scheme. However, Hawes said he believed the area “should never have gone to yellow” and that it would not be approved for mining in any event because of the very slide and flood hazards that Conroy and his wife Sharie had spoken about. “I’m pretty sure that’s what’s going to happen,” he said. Ted Carlson, a Surrey-based gravel company owner and a director at the Aggregate Producers’ Association of B.C., said he doubted that one per cent of the total yellow area in the region would be mined.

He also said that even the 49 per cent coloured green would still require that mines meet the same federal and provincial environmental standards as today. “There are no short cuts, no freebies, no free passes,” he said. “We still have to get every single permit and jump through every single hoop,” he said. “If you think this (APP) is a rubber stamp, you couldn’t be more wrong,” he said. Glen Thompson, Friends of the Chilliwack River Valley spokesman, said the unruly public meeting was proof of the “failure” of the APP to resolve conflicts. “I consider this a dismal failure because it doesn’t end conflict gravel,” he said. He said the APP offers no incentive to gravel companies, and he proposed that the B.C. government, the largest purchaser of gravel, could influence mine locations by buying only from mines “not harming communities.” Hawes said the aim of the APP is to give local government a measure of control over mine locations, which is currently under the sole jurisdiction of B.C.’s chief inspector of mines. “If people don’t want that (control) … we can call it a day and go back to having a free-for-all,” he said.

Walter Neufeld, a vocal critic of the APP, said residents have lost faith in the system as a result of the way the APP has been handled. He asked Gaetz that if FVRD directors were supposed to represent the public during the APP negotiations, how many actually held meetings with constituents to hear their views. “Our understanding is there were no meetings,” he said. And yet now rural residents are “supposed to be comforted” by the “special” meeting called by the FVRD, he said, “which means absolutely nothing.” “The only thing that means anything is what you will do with this flawed APP,” he said. The FVRD directors will consider what they heard at the public meeting, and then decide at a later meeting whether to approve a memorandum of understanding to begin implementation of the APP. If the MOU is approved, a soil removal bylaw will be developed and submitted to the directors for approval. The bylaw will be the “primary tool” of implementing the APP. Further public consultations will be required to make any required zoning changes or amendments to official community plans. A vote is not expected until near the end of this year.

a province-wide withdrawal of extracurricular activities, back-to-work legislation being imposed, and threats for more extracurricular activity withdrawals for next year. Midzain said that while this tentative agreement is a beginning, there are still some “sticky issues” needing to be hammered out, like class size and composition, that she hopes will be resolved in the next bargaining round. “We’ll be negotiating again in eight months and hopefully, with these things out of the way, we won’t have as big a package to deal with next year,” she said. “I’m hoping we can really focus on the other things.” Meanwhile, Chilliwack board of education is “cautiously optimistic” with the news. “The Board of Education is cautiously optimistic that the settlement will benefit our students, staff, parents, and community,” but “we don’t have all the details at this time,” said board chair Louise Piper. “We will know more once the ratification vote has taken place.” Teachers are voting on the deal this week. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Canada Day, and the activities will take place in the various facilities on the Landing site. The day will focus on physical activity, from skating, or swimming, from soccer to inline hockey, roller derby or even a little skateboarding. Some local golf course reps will be on site to encourage golfers of every level, and the 4H members will be doing some dog agility runs. There’s a little Zumba going on, a skateboard competition, and much more. “We’re really trying to promote sports in the community,” said Hudson. Community entertainment will be live on stage from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., said Jeff Bonner of Tractorgrease studios. The lineup features Darkest of the Hillside Thickets and many other local performers. Finally the skies will hopefully light up at about 10 p.m. just in time for the much loved fireworks display. Just remember, the all-day schedule of events is taking place at The Landing, not Heritage Park. See you there!

Get ready, Chilliwack, to celebrate Canada’s birthday on July 1 with a return to the Chilliwack Landing site and Exhibition Field this year. Envision Chilliwack Canada Day Celebrations will take place at the original Chilliwack fairgrounds — for the first time in a decade. There’s a non-stop day of fun planned for the event’s return downtown, with all the family favourites from a mini carnival, and live music, to funnel cakes and hot dogs. Starting with a pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. in Evergreen Hall, and closing with much anticipated fireworks at night — it’s excitement all the way, and all day long. And it’s shaping up to be a mighty big batch of pancake batter heading for the griddle. “They are looking to serve upward of 1,500 pancakes,” said organizer Rod Hudson. Proceeds from the breakfast put on by the Sardis Kiwanis will be going to the Special Olympics. A celebratory welcome and a multi-denominational church service at the grandstand are set for 9:30 a.m. and 10 a.m. respectively. It’s a sports related theme for

Cucumbers spell summerâ€™s arrival Can you imagine a salad without cucumbers? Donâ€™t you love a cool crisp cucumber sandwich on a hot day, or fresh cucumbers in vinegar? And what would a grilled cheese sandwich or hamburger be without pickles? Well, cucumbers are just about the most popular vegetable in the home garden (remember: tomatoes are fruits). Cucumbers have been around for a while too. They have been cultivated both in India and China for about 3,000 years. Columbus is generally given credit for introducing them to North America. Thank you Christopher! Brian Now, of course, there is some disMINTER pute as to whether he actually made it here, but we are, nonetheless, fortunate to have these wonderful vegetables, and now, finally, is the time they should be planted. I know this because all the folks who planted cucumbers earlier are now going back to garden shops to replace their first and second crops that have already died due to the cold and disease. Cucumbers are warm weather plants and should only be set out when night temperatures are constantly around 10Â°C. Cold, wet ground is no place for cucumbers. For best results, they should be planted in hills or raised beds with excellent drainage. I always dig plenty of manure down deep, about twelve inches below the ground, to give those roots some place to go that is damp and rich in

MAKING A DIFFERENCE EVERY DAY Learn about the winners of the 2012 Excellence in BC Health Care Awardsâ€Ś www.BCHealthCareAwards.ca Cold, wet ground is no place for cucumbers. For best results, they should be planted in hills or raised beds with excellent drainage, says Brian Minter

humus when the weather gets hot. Bitter-free cucumbers can only be grown if the plants have access to moisture, especially during the fruit-bearing cycle. If you seed cucumbers, they seem to take off very quickly once the weather warms up, but transplants need a little more care. Greenhouse grown transplants need at least four to five days of acclimatization before they can be set out in the ground, and even then they need some protection from the elements. Old shingles or shakes are ideal because they break the wind. Incidentally, be very careful not to disturb the rootball of young plants because the roots are extremely tender, and the plants will suffer a set back if the roots are damaged. There are many fine cucumber varieties available today that display good disease tolerance. But to be on the safe side, keep

that cucumber patch moving to a different location in your garden each year. Wet spells in the summer, or watering too frequently overhead often cause â€˜alternaria leaf spotâ€™. As with any disease prevention program, healthy, well-fertilized plants are less susceptible to these problems, but keeping that foliage dry is really important. Copper is an effective fungicide for controlling this problem, but you must act quickly if the disease appears. Now, as to varieties, the list seems to grow each year. Many experienced gardeners like the old-fashioned â€˜National Picklingâ€™ â€˜Marketmoreâ€™ and â€˜Straight 8â€™ varieties. If you have been having success with these older strains, then stay with them, but there is a wealth of newer varieties on the market and each has its own unique characteristics.

American burpless, like ‘Sweet Slice’ and ‘Sweeter Yet’. A hot new smaller, bite sized introduction, called ‘Mathilde’, is a deli-

and every fruit is bitter free. If you would really like something different, try ‘Lemon Cucumbers’ which grow the size, shape and colour of lemons, but still taste like crispy, juicy cucumbers. Instead of growing these varieties on the ground, take some garden trellis and make an “A-Frame” shape so the plants can grow up one side and down the other. It makes a delightful garden feature, and it is one way to keep the slugs away from your cucumbers. If you have limited space, you can grow ‘Salad Bush’ in containers, but be sure to use at least a fourteen inch tub and mix plenty of sterilized compost in with the potting soil before you plant. Cucumbers are fun, fast and easy to grow as long as we get a little cooperation from the weather. Remember: use raised beds and black plastic or trellis frames, try some of the new varieties and keep the roots moist during the hottest part of summer. Once planted, you will be enjoying that first cucumber sandwich in about 40 to 50 days. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day. Just one cucumber contains Vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and Vitamin C as well as folic acid, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down that caffeinated soda and pick up a cucumber. As a good source of B vitamins and carbohydrates, it can provide a quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.

Discovered by Chad Krueger,

Faber Drive earned a 2008 Juno nom for Best New Group of the Year. “We have an amazing line-up this summer Including many rock, pop, and country performing artists from all over British Columbia,” said Darcy D, owner of DMG Artist Development Group.

He’s also a former singer for Prism, and tour manager for bands like Swollen Members, Simple Plan and Theory of a Deadman. This summer also comes with a chance for locals to perform on the PITP stage with the ‘Big Shot’ Music Competition. “Local solo artists and bands are encouraged to audition for a chance to play on the Party in the Park stage by uploading a video to The Chilliwack Progress contest’s page,” BIA Special Events chair Leanne Adderley.

Bianca Rillera

ac Greenwood is not your typical leader. Yes, he got good grades, and naturally excelled in school, but that was part of the problem. For several years, Greenwood, a Chilliwack secondary school graduate, didn’t have to study, or put hours into homework to obtain A’s and B’s; they naturally gravitated to him. But the thing is, he was bored. “I was a pretty lazy kid, I didn’t apply myself, didn’t commit myself, wouldn’t really try,” he admitted. And yet, “I would still scrape by with A’s or B’s.” A couple of strong-willed teachers, however, changed that. In Grade 10 science, Greenwood was called out by teacher Connie Williams. Despite his decent grades, she knew he could do better. “She wouldn’t let me get away with it; told me it wasn’t good enough,” recalled Greenwood. “I guess that was something I needed to hear, because I started to work harder and look at school differently.” Greenwood also became motivated by his rugby coach Matthew Ferris. Day in and day out, he saw the time and effort Ferris put into the budding athletes and the sport to ensure a great experience for all. Greenwood wanted to emulate that. He started working harder at school, got more involved, and has even extended his school year into the summer for the past two years working towards Envirothon, a North American high school environmental education competition that has school teams studying for months in preparation. This fall, Greenwood will be attending the University of Victoria. He’s thinking of “maybe” pursuing medicine – as long as university becomes the challenge he’s been looking for – or possibly something in the outdoor forestry field.

ianca Rillera has dreamt of becoming a lawyer ever since she was 12 years old, but it wasn’t because of family coercing or Hollywood influence. It was because of soccer. When the Grade 12 Chilliwack secondary student immigrated to Chilliwack from the Philippines in 2001, her parents immediately put her in soccer. And unlike many other kids, she didn’t leave the sport as she grew older. She excelled in it, and furthered her aspirations. At 12 years old, Rillera became a soccer referee, and began researching every area of the job she could. After studying FIFA’s The Laws of the Game, on her own accord, she knew her future was destined for the courts. “Knowing the whole discipline of the laws was an added bonus for me, because it’s nice to be able to be critical of things on the field that a lot of people really don’t know about or put a lot of thought into,” said Rillera, who also likes that she is part of a select group of females policing the pitches. While Rillera has never swayed from her desires of becoming a lawyer, she has waffled on what kind of lawyer she’d like to become. She’s wanted to be a criminal lawyer, a family lawyer, an international lawyer, and most recently a corporate lawyer. Because she wants to continue as a referee, which will require substantial travel, she figures the corporate lawyer setting is her best option. “Corporate lawyers are generally hired on contract; I won’t be stuck in an office all day,” said Rillera. This fall, Rillera will be starting her bachelor of arts degree at the University of the Fraser Valley, majoring in history. Once she completes her BA, she intends to go after a masters degree, possibly in Greek and Latin history. And then she’ll start on her law degree.

Fiona Tymm

he world is Fiona Tymm’s oyster. That’s the attitude the Grade 12 Sardis secondary graduate is taking once high school comes to an end. She isn’t following the pack, isn’t falling prey to others expectations, she’s doing what she wants to do. “People always say you just have to graduate and then you can do whatever you want, but no, then everyone expects you to go to university,” said Tymm. “So now I’m just kind of saying, no I can go wherever and do whatever I want.” This fall, Tymm will be embarking on a “life-finding” humanitarian mission in Africa. She hopes to spend anywhere from one month to five months working in a third-world orphanage or hospital. This trip, she said, will be the start of many more. Tymm, who will be attending the University of British Columbia in January, plans on becoming a doctor, and wants to go back overseas regularly with her medical expertise. “I just like knowing that you’ve made a difference, and that you’re not just doing things for yourself and sitting at home on Facebook,” she said. However, all through her school career, Tymm led organized events, participated in lunchtime intramurals, played school sports including basketball, field hockey and ice hockey. For her, school was never just about going to the classes. So, how can she possibly handle no longer having that social structure in her life? “I think if I was just planning on staying home and working and not doing anything, it would be hard,” she said. “But I’m going to find myself. I’m going back to the basics. I’m going to experience something that others won’t ever. “It’s going to be really humbling just knowing that there’s always more to give.”

Jennifer Wardle J

ennifer Wardle didn’t just pretend to be the change, she was the change. For the past two years, the Sardis secondary graduate has done everything in her power to make school an accepting place for all students. She was one of the leads in developing Sardis’ Be The Change Committee, a club that started a no-questions asked breakfast service at the school three times a week; the Fairy Godmother Project, which hooked graduates up with prom dresses and accessories if they couldn’t afford their own; and a peer-tutoring group. She also volunteered as a student reader at Yarrow elementary once a week, and headed up a social justice art mural at the high school. “It’s a good feeling knowing that I wasn’t just going to classes, but that I was contributing to the overall school setting as well,” said Wardle. She credits Challenge Day for most of the aforementioned initiatives. Challenge Day was a district-wide event held in 2011 that brought students from all different backgrounds into an auditorium for a day and worked to break down several of the walls and stereotypes surrounding them. “It definitely opened up my eyes,” said Wardle. “After Challenge Day, you started to realize that people who you would never have guessed have experienced hard times too that were very similar to your own. You started to see people in the hallways in a different light; you didn’t go on stereotypes anymore.” This fall, Wardle will be attending the University of the Fraser Valley and is looking into becoming a teacher and youth counsellor.

Lorenzo Smith L

orenzo Smith’s love for running could very well define his future endeavors. The G.W. Graham secondary school graduate will be going into biomedical physiology at Simon Fraser University in the fall, with the intent of going to med school afterwards. He’s looking at either becoming an orthopedic surgeon, because “it seems intriguing to drill into people’s bones,” or sports medicine. “I’ve played sports my whole life and I’ve had some significant injuries,” said Smith. Most notably from running. Smith has been competitively running since Grade 3, spending the spring and summer seasons with the Chilliwack Track and Field Club, and the fall season running cross country. He’s suffered knee injuries and stress fractures in his toes – one in each foot. And yet, he keeps running. “Running’s a weird sport because it’s not necessarily very much fun, it’s quite painful actually, but you just keep going,” said Smith. “I love the independence of it, and the fact that whatever you put into it, you’ll get out of it. You can’t rely on teammates, you have to do it yourself.” And while being sidelined with injuries was a tough pill to swallow, Smith is grateful for them. “I honestly believe they were meant to be, because without them, I wouldn’t have been exposed to physiotherapy,” he said. Starting this fall, Smith will be a member of the SFU Track and Field Team, competing in the 800-metre event. “I love to compete,” he said. “I love to push myself.”

t 18 years old, Sadaf Baradar has mastered two languages, English and Persian, and is well on her way to mastering a third in Spanish. And she’s not stopping there. Next in line are Arabic and French. Baradar, a G.W. Graham secondary school graduate, intends to learn as many languages as she can so she can help educate as many females in developing countries as she can. Baradar wants to work for United Nations and one day run her own organization that will educate and better the lives for young girls and women in developing countries. The dream started young. Baradar spent the first 13 years of her life in Iran, and while she was fortunate to attend a bilingual school, she knew other girls in neighbouring countries, like Afghanistan, Pakistan, India and Africa, weren’t so lucky. “In these countries, girls don’t have as much opportunity to go to school as the boys do,” said Baradar. “The girls are supposed to stay at home and become mothers, and take care of their children and husband. They don’t get an education.” Baradar believes the poverty cycle in those countries will forever continue without change. “Literacy rates are directly related to pregnancy rates,” said Baradar. “The more educated the girls become, the less children they will have, which will help their families be not as poor as other overly populated families. It’s a cycle that goes on and on,” she said. “I don’t know if I can be the only one doing something about, but I would like to start a movement.” Baradar will be attending the University of British Columbia in the fall, and while she hasn’t yet nailed down a major, she’s looking into global development and child psychology.

Sprinkler snuffs kitchen apartment fire Leaving stove-top meals unattended in the kitchen continues to be one of the leading causes of residential fires in Chilliwack and North America. The Chilliwack Fire Department is reminding residents to “stay in the kitchen when cooking and make sure all appliances are shut off after

use” following a kitchen fire in a four-storey apartment complex early Wednesday morning. Three occupants of a suite on the fourth floor, two adults and a small child, were seen leaving the apartment building in the 46000-block Bole Avenue as firefighters responded to a 2 a.m. smoke alarm.

No one was injured in the fire, except one man who was treated at the scene for smoke inhalation. “Fire crews entered the suite and found a pot on the stove had activated a sprinkler head,” said Jeff Ullyot, assistant fire chief. “The sprinkler controlled and extinguished the fire,

preventing it from extending beyond the stove,” he said. Minor fire and smoke damage was limited to a microwave and an area of the upper cupboards. Ullyot said sprinkler systems continue to prove their worth by limiting fire damage and preventing fire-related injuries and deaths.

Kids running for kids in Harrison Black Press Harrison’s beachfront is always full of the sounds of happy children in the summer. But on July 4, there will be some extra special cheering for a special bunch of kids planning to visit. Kids Running for Kids are leaving Williams Lake this Saturday, June 30, by foot. They’ll be

running all the way to BC Children’s Hospital, a trip that’s expected to end on July 7. When they stop in Harrison Hot Springs next Wednesday for a well deserved rest, the Village is planning a warm welcome. The group of kids, ages six to 18, will be lead into town by bagpipes at 1 p.m., with a run shortly after. There will be entertainment for the crowd, and Mayor

Leo Facio is hoping residents turn out to cheer the kids on. They are raising money for BC Children’s Hospital along the way, to give back to the organization that many of them have used themselves. Logan had a cleft pallette operation, Marcus had tubes in his ears, Parker lives with Juvenile Diabetes, Isabelle was born 14 weeks premature and

Donna Dixson: Caring for the health of the community Donna Dixson loves Chilliwack. “I can’t say enough about how much I love this community. I think that for the first time in my life, I actually feel at home. I’m just so overwhelmed by the community support,” she enthused. While Donna was born in Cold Lake, Alberta, her father was in the air force so for her, home was wherever her father was posted. At the age of 3, the family moved to Germany, where Donna remained until the age of 8. “We came back to Canada and settled in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba until I was 14. We then went to Yorkton, Saskatchewan and that’s where I graduated,” she said. While in high school, Donna admits to having been an activist. “I ran for president of the

Student Council because I was always into some cause,” she laughed. She was an honours student and a leader. “I followed the rules and I was a good student and very obedient but I was certainly not a follower and at times, Ana this can MACEDO be difficult,” she admitted. She also enjoyed fashion and chose to make a statement by the clothes that she wore. After graduating from Yorkton Regional High School, she began attending the University of Manitoba with the intent of becoming a doctor. “I soon came to

the realization that this wasn’t what I wanted to do, so I moved back to Yorkton where I began working for Canada Employment Services,” she explained. She was soon recruited to work at CKOS – TV. “I was only there for a short stint but had the privilege of working with TV sports personality Chris Cuthbert.” Shortly after leaving the television station, Donna got married and moved to Norquay, a small community in Saskatchewan known for its rich and fertile soil. “There were only 600 people in this town and we were living on a large grain farm. I was a big city girl and never really fit in but I tried my best,” she admitted candidly. Living on the farm was hard work but no matter how hard they

worked, eventually the economy dictated that they diversify the farm. “It was really a matter of survival so in 1994 we diversified and while we still grew grain, the farm evolved into a country vacation resort. My hus-

band’s great-grandparents had been pioneers who had emigrated from Sweden. We had the accommodation but we also had a museum on-site and a barn with animals that basically told the story of their

Ana chats with Donna Dixson ANA from p39 operation.” She became an active proponent of Agri-Tourism and became involved in Women Entrepreneurs of Saskatchewan. She then became the chair of their regional tourism association and eventually got involved at the provincial level. “I then found a grant that allowed our town to hire me as their economic development officer. I quite enjoyed working in that capacity,” she said. Then, in 1999, they sold their breathtakingly beautiful, landscaped property and headed west. “We decided to move to a warmer climate and settled in Abbotsford,” she smiled. She knew no one and started again from the ground up. “I did a variety of jobs then one day, I heard that they were going to start a farmer’s market in Abbotsford. With my farming background, I knew that this was something that I was suited for and I got the contract. We launched the market and it remains successful to this day.” From there, Donna moved over to Tourism Abbotsford and became their first

manager of Sales and Marketing. “I started the Circle Farm Tour in Abbotsford which I modelled after the very successful one in Agassiz. A year later, I created the regional program,” she said. Ever the enthusiast, Donna decided that she’d like to get involved in the Olympic Winter Games and began working for the Winter Games Secretariat in Vancouver as Manager of Community Relations but before her contract was over, she decided that what she really wanted was to start her own business. “I started a marketing and special events company and called it Flair. I began working on a variety of

contracts throughout the Lower Mainland.” Then, in April 2011, Donna decided to travel to the foothills of the Cariboo Mountains to take on a marketing position at Barkerville Historic Town. “I developed a persona in Barkerville Bella and travelled 10,000 km throughout BC and Alberta in a bright pink dress, representative of what a lady would wear in 1862. This was a great way to invite people to Barkerville. I was quite the sight. This was the hardest thing that I’ve ever done but I loved every minute of it,” she laughed. After a season in the Cariboo, she found the isolation quite difficult. “I also missed my family terribly and

decided that it was time to come back down to the coast.” Donna began looking for another employment opportunity and came upon the chance to work her creative magic. “The Chilliwack Hospital and Heath Care Foundation is a newly established charitable organization and it was established with one simple goal. That is, to improve community health. Our objectives include shifting focus from health care to care of health, care of one another and care of community,” she explained. Donna was hired as the Foundation’s Director of Community Relations and her job is to lead the development and implementation of the organization’s strategic and operating plans. “I am very interested in good health overall and I have a vision and a passion for what the Foundation is doing.” When she’s not working, Donna can be found either running, walking her dog, Tiffany, travelling or spending time with her four, precious daughters and her fivemonth-old grandson. “I love my girls and my little guy,” she said.

Healthy eating in the great outdoors Question: I was just looking up a few recipes because I’m going camping this weekend. I was just wondering if you had any camping food ideas that are healthy? ~ Lisa, Chilliwack, BC. Answer: We are very lucky to live in a part of the world with so many fantastic places to go camping. Camping is a great way to spend time with the family, unwind, distress and explore this beautiful province! For many, however, camping is also the perfect way to stray from healthy eating. When we think of camping food we often think of junk food: all the foods we normally don’t buy, but end up in our grocery cart before a camping trip: hot dogs, marshmallows, cans of pop and chips. With a shift in attitude and some planning, however, you can most definitely stick to a healthy eating plan and still enjoy the great Tanja outdoors! SHAW The first step is to stick to your eating plan when camping is to simply change your attitude about camping food. Camping is not an excuse to eat whatever you want. Instead, stick to the basic guidelines of healthy eating: Eat 5-6 small meals per day, eat protein at each meal, limit or avoid the white stuff (sugar, white flour, etc) and stick to proper portions. Remember that while eating healthy is important, ‘splurge-worthy’ treats can be part of a healthy diet. Try to keep your portions under control. For example, if you fancy a few chips in the afternoon, portion out a serving in a bowl rather than eating uncontrollably from the bag. The food you pack will depend on the amenities you have when camping. If you are backpacking, your food choices will be fewerthan if you were staying in a trailer with a fridge, freezer and toaster oven. Assuming you have at least a cooler and ice, below are some suggestions of simple, easy to prepare foods to pack with you on your trip. Breakfast: Great options while camping include whole grain cereal, yogurt and milk, eggs with fruit salad, whole grain bread with peanut butter or other nut butter, a homemade, cottage cheese and fruit, and oatmeal. Lunch: Some healthy lunch options are homemade or

Community Environmentally friendly way to dispose of old garden pots and plant trays There’s just a few days left to take advantage of an event that will help you get rid of all those old plant containers. Minter Country Garden is offering local gardeners more options when

it comes to responsibly disposing of garden pots and trays. Country Garden is one of over 50 Canadian Nursery Landscape Association (CNLA) members in eight provinces to have

eagerly pledged their support to the National Plastics Recycling Event. Gardeners are encouraged to bring their clean, dry garden plastics to the store by to July 1, and stack them in the designated

recycling area. To help make the National Plastics Recycling Event a success, residents are asked to dispose of non-recyclables and other trash through normal means and refrain from leaving items outside the store after busi-

ness hours. For more information, please visit Country Garden at 10015 Young Rd. North in Chilliwack or go online to www.cnla-acpp.com and click on “National Plastics Recycling Event.”

FITNESS from p43 canned soups (while canned soups may not be the best option on a regular basis, a can of Minestrone or other vegetable-based soup is convenient and a healthier option, homemade or canned chili, cheese and crackers or a healthy sandwich or wrap. Peanut butter and banana in a whole grain wrap is a simple lunch to pack for backpacking. Dinner: Aim for protein and veggies for dinner, just like you would at home. If fishing is part of your camping adventure, fresh trout would be your first choice! If you have a BBQ, chicken, steak or veggie burgers are great options. Serve your BBQ-ableswith a side salad (you can easily prepare your salad at home). Snacks: Camping often means endless opportunities to nibble in between meals. If your cooler is stocked with healthy snacks, sticking to your eating plan will be easier. Pack plenty of fruits and veggies with a light dip such as hummus. A small version of breakfast or lunch (such as some yogurt and fruit) also makes a great snack. If chips are on the picnic table, grab a bowl and portion out a serving so you can enjoy without going overboard. Drinks: As always, it’s best to keep hydrated with water when camping. Limit caloric beverages such as juice and pop. Enjoy your alcohol in moderation.

Junior football playing the numbers game The BC Football Conference and Chilliwack Huskers will reap the benefits of a brand news stats system when the 2012 season starts. The Canadian Junior Football League, working in partnership with Ontariobased NewSport Media, has developed a web-based system that will make life easier for anyone involved in game-day stats collection and distribution. “I’ve been the CJFL national statistician for six or seven years, and when we first started we were using an old DOS program that

was developed back in the 1980’s,” said Ed Plant. “It was like a lot of old DOS programs — clunky and time consuming. We’d spend hours on the computer entering the game stats and the media wouldn’t get anything until late Sunday night or early Monday morning.” The new-age system compares like night and day, giving Plant and company the ability to provide instant play-by-play similar to what the Canadian Football League has with its CFL Live system. “Everything flows through rather intuitively, and fans

will be able to see the stats updated about 10 seconds after the end of a play,” Plant explained. “It does all the game reporting that we need it to do, and produces everything in PDF format so we can have everything out to media outlets right after the game.” The CFL paid over $1,000,000 to develop their system. The CFJL setup costs significantly less at $130,000, and the CFJL is only paying a portion of that. “Our agreement with NewSport Media is that we would split the costs of

development and our biggest contribution was our time and knowledge,” Plant said. The CJFL thought they were heading down this same road two years ago when they contacted PointStreak Sports Technologies. Everything seemed on track until a third party, Daktronics, got involved. At the last minute, the U-S based company pulled the plug, saying it wasn’t worth their while to develop a system around Canadian football rules. “That was definitely frus-

trating, but with NewSport Media, they do the American Hockey League and a number of other pro leagues,” Plant said. “Another part of our deal with them is that anyone who buys the program in the future, we get a portion of the sale. And pending the rollout, we’ve got a couple Canadian leagues already looking at it.” Business matters aside, Plant is looking forward to the rollout and a number of upcoming training sessions. “Everything we did before was cumbersome and time consuming and, when you’re manually entering stats at

game speed, prone to inaccuracy,” Plant said. “This is going to be great for the players too, to have cumulative stats for their career that they can access when they’re looking at going on to CIS, NCAA or the pros. It’s just going to be really useful for a lot of people.” The BCFC training session is in two weeks. The Huskers training camp starts in mid-July and the home opener is Aug. 11 versus the Westshore (Victoria) Rebels. Get BCFC information online at www.bcjuniorfootball.ca

The Chilliwack Golf Academy will offer junior summer camps for two age groups, writes Jennifer Greggain One of the things I love about the game of golf is that its timeless. Golfers can start golf in early childhood and continue enjoying it well into their senior years. Sadly, golf has been declining over the last decade. To combat this problem, many golf courses offer junior programs to help grow the game. This column highlights some of our local golf courses offering junior leagues and learn-toplay programs here in Chilliwack. Cultus Lake Golf Club will once again offer their popular Junior Summer Camps for kids ages 7-14 (approximately). These camps are available Monday-Thursday every week in the summer from 9:30 to noon or 1 to 4:30pm. They also offer a junior league on Mondays with a free clinic from 3 to 3:30 p.m., and tee times starting at 3:30 p.m.. For more information, call their pro shop or visit their website at www.golfcultus.com. Kinkora Golf Club will also offer their junior league, with tee times available on Wednesday afternoons throughout the summer. They will also offer a SNAG (Starting New at Golf) program for students as young as five. For more information, contact Valerie Beebe at Valerie.2000@shaw.ca. The Chilliwack Golf Academy located at Chilliwack Golf and Country Club will offer junior summer camps for two age groups: Birdies (ages 6-9) and Eagles (ages 10 and up). These camps are open to the public, and will run through July and August. CG&CC also offers a Tuesday night junior league for its members, which includes a free instructional clinic, and nine holes of golf starting at 3:30 p.m. For more information and to register online, go to www. chilliwackgolfacademy.com. For juniors interested in competitive tournaments, Royalwood Golf Course hosts its annual Fraser Valley Junior Golf Tournament August 9-11 at Aquadel Golf Course, Meadowlands Golf Course, CG&CC and Royalwood. Registration forms are available on online at www.royalwoodgolf.com. The Fred Wellsby Optimist Junior Linkster Tour will take place in early July at participating Fraser Valley golf courses. This is a great venue to get your kids started in competitive golf. Contact gstandev@shaw.ca for more information. Finally, many golf courses across Canada will be participating in Take a Kid to the Course Week, from July 9-15. This amazing program allows kids through age 16 to play golf at participating courses for free with a paying adult. Check out their website at www.kidsgolffree. ca. With options for any schedule, budget, age and skill level, be sure to get your kids involved with golf in Chilliwack this summer. Jennifer teaches golf to adults and juniors at the Chilliwack Golf Academy. She played professionally on tour for over 10 years, including 2 years on the LPGA. She was also named the 2010 CN Canadian Women’s Tour Low Teaching Pro of the Year. She can be contacted at 604-7989805, or at Jennifer@chilliwackgolf.com Chilliwack FC is hosting several Canada Day Carnival events at Townsend Park Sunday. From noon to 4 p.m. kids of all ages will be able to try their feet at numerous activities including Soccer 9-hole Mini Golf, Soccer Tennis and the Soccer Obstacle Course. There will be draws for Vancouver Whitecap tickets, Chilliwack Chiefs tickets, soccer balls and more.
