Offering hope to hazelnut growers Chamber Katie Bartel
drills into pipeline issue
The Progress A wind-born disease is wreaking havoc on Chilliwack’s hazelnut orchards. When the eastern filbert blight (EFB) first appeared on a farm in Yarrow in 2008, the BC Hazelnut Growers Association hoped they could slow down the spread. But just four years later most orchards in the Chilliwack, Yarrow, Rosedale and Agassiz areas have been infected. “Our whole industry is on the verge of being eliminated,” said Peter Andres, president of the BC Hazelnut Growers Association. In Chilliwack, that accounts for more than 35 growers, 800 acres of hazelnut trees, two manufacturing plants, and countless livelihoods. But there’s hope. The BC Hazelnut Growers Association is hosting a field day on Aug. 23 to discuss EFB and the new trial trees it believes could save the industry. The association has partnered with Oregon State University, which developed the trial varieties, to grow in Fraser Valley soils. In Oregon, the trees are 99 per cent resistant to EFB. “As an association, we’re trying them in our soils to make sure they’re as successful here as they are there,” said Andres. EFB is not a new disease. It devastated the hazelnut industry in Oregon in the 1980s, and as a result the borders were closed to hazelnut trees in an effort to confine the blight to the south. But because EFB spores are spread by wind, it was only a matter of time before it would make its way to the Canadian side. In 2002, an orchard in Abbotsford was found with EFB. In 2005, orchards in Langley were heavily infected. And in 2008, the Yarrow orchard had been hit. “We’re right in the wind path of Oregon,” said Helmet Hooge, who first spotted the infection on his six-acre farm three years ago. Continued: BLIGHT/ p12

Chilliwack business leaders are going to hear both sides of the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion at Chamber of Commerce luncheons in the next two weeks. Pipe Up Network members Michael Hale and Sheila Muxlow will talk about the risks the group sees in expanding the 60-year-old pipeline at a chamber luncheon Aug. 16. Kinder Morgan president Ian Anderson will talk about the benefits of the pipeline to the community at a luncheon the following week on Aug. 23. Both luncheons at the Best Western Rainbow Country Inn are open to the public, at a cost of $35, and pre-registration is required. Patti MacAhonic, chamber executive director, said it’s part of the chamber’s mandate to keep its members informed about issues that impact the community, and the proposed expansion of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline “will have impacts to business and the community as a whole.” “I’m a firm believer that the better information we have, the better decisions are made for all of us,” she said. “We’re not really in a decision-making position, any of us,” she added, “but we need to know from the horse’s mouth what exactly this pipeline means, either way.” Kinder Morgan is committed to public consultations with communities along the pipeline’s route from the oil sands of Alberta to waiting oil tankers in Vancouver and Burnaby. But consultations with First Nations is also required, and aboriginal people to date have not looked kindly on pipelines. Sto:lo tribal organizations have not taken a formal position regarding the Kinder Morgan pipeline, but Skwah elder Eddie Gardner said his personal view is aboriginal people will not approve the project because of their “spiritual connection to the land.” He noted that existing pipeline right-of-ways through First Nation lands were granted “at a time when First Nations were run by Indian Affairs agents” and Sto:lo people are now in control of decision-making. “I think First Nations could put a halt to the pipeline, but what would be really needed is for people in general to stand up against it,” he said.

Deer makes rare visit to downtown Chilliwack Robert Freeman The Progress The rare sight of a deer near downtown Chilliwack was reported last Thursday, as it casually munched on a resident’s lawn in the Ashwell-Spadina area. Why a deer would suddenly show up in Chilliwack was a mystery to Jeff Morgan, urban deer specialist with the environment ministry’s fish and wildlife branch. “Certainly, deer are no strangers to urban environments,” he said, and there are “fairly large populations seen
in many southern BC communities.” And from the deer’s behaviour, he said, this one likely moved from one of those communities to Chilliwack. “It sounds to me as though this deer has had quite a bit of experience around people.” Morgan said urban areas are “productive habitat” for deer, offering ample opportunity for feed and forage — and they’re predator-free. In fact, deer populations have grown so large in some B.C. communities that controversial “culls” have taken place to reduce conflicts with human residents.
A ministry report in 2010 found that deer in B.C. were damaging gardens, colliding with cars, and sometimes acting “aggressively” toward humans. The aggression can take the form of “snorting, standing on hind legs and flailing with front legs, charging, and charging with contact.” City animal control officials pass wildlife complaints to provincial conservation officers, but the Chilliwackarea officer could not be reached for comment. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Fair offers insight into mechanical past Jenna Hauck The Progress The livestock are being brought in, home-grown produce dropped off, displays set up, and the judges are lining up the blue ribbons. It’s all in preparation for the 140th annual Chilliwack Fair which opens tomorrow and runs until Sunday at Chilliwack Heritage Park. Next door at the Atchelitz Threshermen’s Association (ATA), members are tidying up the site, using tractors to move equipment around, and touching things up with fresh coats of paint. ATA member Stuart vander Kooi is using a pressure washer to hose down a piece of antique farm machinery — one of many that will be on display at the ATA site during the fair, and also one of many which has an interesting story behind it. Like Bill McEnery’s 1927 Russell Newbery diesel engine. About 15 years ago in Squamish, McEnery was chatting with a man in his
late 80s named Orville Van Horlick about the engine. Van Horlick said the engine sounded very similar to one he worked on as a teenager at Potlatch Cedar Camp, a logging camp in Howe Sound from 1929 to 1931. One January night, during his time at the camp, young Van Horlick, about 17 at the time, was rustled out of his bunk and told to go get the engine running after the lights suddenly went out around 9 p.m. while the crew was having a game of poker. Van Horlick walked through kneedeep snow with a coal lantern to find that the flywheel of the engine, which had come unglued from the crankshaft, had knocked down one of the walls of the generator shack and rolled down to the beach. Luckily it had struck a rock which slowed it down, otherwise it would have made its way into much deeper water. A mark was left on the flywheel from where it hit the rock. Everything was repaired and the generator went on working for many more

years. Around 1987, McEnery was hunting with a friend in Howe Sound when he stumbled upon a moss-covered flywheel and other engine parts. The two loaded the pieces onto his boat and brought them back to Squamish where he got some help rebuilding and restoring the engine. McEnery, who’s been a member of the ATA for about 25 years, brought the engine to the Chilliwack site. And that’s where Van Horlick got to see it firsthand. He looked at it, and knew exactly where to find the mark from the rock on the flywheel. Sure enough, it was there. The seven-horsepower diesel engine, maintained by Van Horlick 85 years ago, found by McEnery 25 years ago, and identified by Van Horlick 10 years later will be on display at the fair this weekend. It is just one of the pieces of history you can experience at the 140th annual Chilliwack Fair.
The investigation into a hang gliding death that occurred near Agassiz in April is almost complete but the results might not be made public for another year. Bruce Busby, vice president of the Hang Gliding and Paragliding Association of Canada [HGPAC] in Calgary, said the information will likely be held pending the outcome of a criminal trial for pilot Jon Orders. “I don’t know if it’s the police or the courts but we’ve just been asked to wait,” he said. Lenami Godinez-Avila, 27, died when she fell from the glider shortly after taking off on a tandem flight with Orders from Mount Woodside. He was later charged with obstruction of justice for swallowing a memory card containing pictures of the flight that might offer clues as to how she fell to her death. Busby stressed nobody from the HGPAC has seen any results from the investigation yet. “I can only suspect they don’t want to prejudice the case for Jon Orders.” Margit Nance, executive director of HGPAC in Vancouver, said even if the board received the report it wouldn’t be made public. “We would not just willy nilly release that. That would have to be determined whether that’s appropriate,” she said. Nance said when the board receives the report the first person notified would likely be the lawyer for the pilot. “We would be very careful and in fact we might very well hold the whole thing off until after the trial date as well, because for the same reason nobody wants inadvertently to affect in any way the proper carrying out of justice.” Nance said that the HGPAC has an accident reporting system in place to learn from such incidents, though this circumstance is different because of the criminal charge. “Every accident is definitely a learning opportunity for everyone and we take that very seriously,” she said.

The investigator in the accident is Martin Henry, a former president of the HGPAC, who has been working independently of the association in conjunction with the RCMP and the Coroner’s Office. Henry is considered one of the pioneers of the sport. Over the past 40 years he has developed many of the safety protocols and aviation techniques used in the sport today. “He has flown huge distances and yet he’s one of those finicky, particular pilots that always stays committed to safety,� said Nance, adding he really stresses the importance of the pre-flight check. Although Busby said he knows people are curious to learn whether it was pilot error or equipment malfunction that was responsible for Godinez-Avila’s death, they’ll have to wait just a bit longer. The trial for Orders is expected to get underway April 15, 2013.

Sunday’s heat sets new record Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Was it hot enough for you? It was so searing hot in the ‘Wack last Sunday the mercury topped out at a sweat-inducing 34.5 degrees Celsius. It’s been much cooler this week, but the shimmering heat wave last weekend set a maxi-
mum temperature record for the day of Aug. 5, according to Environment Canada volunteer weather observer Roger Pannett. Actually it was the “hottest day in Chilliwack” since the usually temperate Fraser Valley city saw the record-breaking 35.7 degrees reached on Aug15, 2010, he reports.

The date of August 5 marked the third day of blazing hot temperatures higher than 30. Last time it came anywhere close was 2008 when it hit 33 degrees. The previous record high minimum for overnight Aug. 6 was 16 degrees, set in 1977.

Chilliwack man sentenced for bank robbery
FREE Lenses
A man who was arrested not far from an Abbotsford bank he had just robbed has been sentenced to more than two years in prison. Matthew Allan Keefe, 29, of Chilliwack was handed 25 months in jail after pleading guilty on July 27 to one count of robbery. Keefe walked into a bank in the 32800 block of South Fraser Way on July 10, approached a teller and handed over a note implying that he was carrying a weapon in his backpack. The teller handed over a small amount of cash, and Keefe fled on foot. Witnesses provided his description to officers who arrived on the scene. An officer who left the bank then came across Keefe walking along Bourquin Crescent, not far from the robbery scene. Evidence, including video surveillance, confirmed Keefe as the culprit. Keefe is also currently before the courts in Chilliwack for charges of theft, dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, failure to stop at an accident, fraud, and breach of his probation. His next appearance on those matters is Aug. 10.

News Home sales buoyed by end of flood fears? Robert Freeman The Progress Chilliwack home sales in July jumped by 25 per cent over sales in the same month last year. Whether the increase stemmed from buyers getting out after the wet weather and flood threats of June, or because of continuing low interest rates, Cynthia Admiraal, president of the Chilliwack & District Real Estate board, could not say for sure. But resale housing demand came in “much

stronger than expected in July,” she said. “In fact, when you adjust the data to account for normal seasonal variations, July was actually the strongest month for home sales in the region since late 2009.” The average house price in Chilliwack was $312,418, up by one per cent over July, 2011. That’s still a more affordable price than houses located in the Vancouver area, which should keep buyers interested in looking at Chilliwack. And Admiraal said she expects sales in Chilliwack will get stronger by the end of the year. There were 8.3 months of housing “inventor y” in
Chilliwack at the end of July, down from the 10.6 months reported at the same time last year. The number of months of inventory is the number of months it would take to sell current inventories at the current rate of sales activity. There were 1,852 active residential listings in Chilliwack on the MLS system at the end of July, down three per cent from July, 2011. The combined dollar value of Chilliwack home sales in July totaled $69.7 million, up 26 per cent over the dollar volume reported last July. The total value of all properties sold in July was $74.1 million, up 21 per cent on yearover-year basis. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

It’s become a delicious summer ritual for corn aficionados to pick up a bag or two of the early Peaches and Cream variety or later in the season, the Triplesweet Jubliee. “The best thing I can do is make it as fresh as possible,” he said. Done right it’s always sweet, crunchy and satisfying.
The number question he gets about his corn is whether it’s genetically modified or not. The answer is no. “I don’t grow GMO corn and I won’t,” he said. “So many of our customers are concerned about it.

Medal performance Unless you’ve been totally ignoring the Olympics, you know Canada’s women’s soccer team lost 4-3 in extra time – mere minutes away from going to penalty kicks – to its closest, fiercest rival, the United States. You know Canada was going up against the team ranked No. 1 in the world, a country that has won the last two Olympic women’s soccer gold medals, and hasn’t lost to Canada since 2001, a span of 43 games. It was a game Canada wasn’t supposed to keep close, let alone lead three times. Christine Sinclair – who is always compared as the Wayne Gretzky of Canadian women’s soccer – scored three times and Canada was 10 minutes away from surely it’s biggest win in national team history, and a spot in the gold medal match against the reigning World Cup holders, Japan. But a suspicious delay of game penalty called by the Norwegian referee against Canadian keeper Erin McLeod, followed by an even more suspicious hand ball call against defender Marie Eve Nault in the box on the ensuring free kick, led to the U.S. scoring the tying goal on a penalty kick. Canadians from Chilliwack to St. John’s, Nfld., were livid over the calls. The players were stunned. The coaches were shocked. The ref’s calls and the final result aside, Monday’s match will likely set off a boom for women’s soccer in this country. It was a classic game, one of the most entertaining matches of all time.

Pipeline posturing doesn’t help further the debate VICTORIA – The B.C. Liberal government is taking its new hardline approach to federal environmental hearings on the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline proposal in September. Environment Minister Terry Lake has filed the B.C. government’s notice to cross-examine Enbridge, one of the world’s biggest pipeline operators. Lake outlined the “tough questions” B.C. representatives will ask about spill response capacity on land and sea, tanker escort tugboats, pipe wall thickness, and Enbridge’s sluggish response to a pipeline rupture in Michigan. That’s all fine, and to be expected after Premier Christy Clark’s high-profile confrontation with Alberta Premier Alison Redford going into the recent premiers’ meeting in Halifax. Clark’s demands for “world-leading” safety and spill response, as

well as meeting the constitutional obligation to consult and accommodate aboriginal groups along the route, are mostly a statement of the obvious. Her call for a “fair share” of proceeds from exported oil to reflect B.C.’s risk has been assaulted from all sides. Pipeline opponents seized on Clark’s suggestion Tom that a major oil spill FLETCHER might be tolerable if there was enough money in it for B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix picked up the theme as he conducted his own belated tour of the proposed route to reiterate his opposition. There had been earlier hints from Alberta that B.C. might need further rewards for the risk. But when Clark made the “fair
share” demand public, Redford was moved to channel Margaret Thatcher, declaring: “The Premier of Alberta is not going to blink on royalties.” The lady’s not for blinking, but neither is B.C.’s Iron Snowbird, as Preston Manning dubbed Clark this spring. All this political theatre doesn’t amount to much. I’ll stand by my January prediction that the Enbridge proposal is unlikely to proceed, mainly due to the tangled state of aboriginal claims. Wealthy U.S. foundations that view the B.C. North Coast as their 500-year ecoexperiment will be happy to help fund a decade of legal challenges, while continuing the media-spinning and protest support they are doing now. Even if some way can be found to levy a B.C. tax on revenues from the Northern Gateway pipeline, it’s no solution. For one thing, it would confer an advantage to
the Trans-Mountain pipeline that has been shipping Alberta oil to Burnaby and the U.S. for more than 60 years. The competing expansion proposal by Trans-Mountain’s current owner, Kinder Morgan, shows the inconsistency of opposition to pipelines. Does anyone really believe that a new pipeline built to the highest standards ever would be too dangerous, while a 60-year-old pipeline is acceptable? Protesters have an easy target in Kinder Morgan. With a tenfold increase to 25 tankers a month proposed to sail under the Lions Gate bridge, a heavy oil spill from Second Narrows to Stanley Park would be catastrophic to Vancouver’s environment and economy. Tankers have made that trip safely nearly for 100 years, but the congested modern shipping lane offers more threat of collision, and clearing Burrard

Inlet for near-daily tanker transits would disrupt the rest of B.C.’s shipping trade. An Angus Reid poll last week showed as many as half of respondents remain open-minded about the costs and benefits of new oil pipelines across B.C. Unlike B.C. politicians, they seem interested in learning more before making up their minds. Dix and the NDP ran to the front of the anti-pipeline parade early, as they did with the carbon tax and other issues. Clark began the Northern Gateway discussion with a principled position to wait for the result of the federal review, but that’s apparently out the window with an election looming.

‘Heroes among us’ earn thanks In the early morning hours of Tuesday July 31, the brave men of the Chilliwack Fire Department - Fire Hall No. 4 Sardis, saved my family’s home from near destruction, and we thank them all from the bottom of our hearts. Specifically, I’d like to give a warm, heartfelt shoutout to Lt. Eric Davies whom was on Incident Command on that scariest of nights. He performed his duties with calm skill and cool precision. As the fire raged three stories high and grew more intense, at the unit next to ours, he directed his fire crew with the calm demeanor and professionalism that I have not often seen in my lifetime. During those tense moments, as the fire grew, I could only stand back with Theresa and watch wondering if the flames that were destroying the property next door would extend onto our home and burn down all that we had. We trembled as we watched the fire burn stronger for we only had the clothes that we had on and nothing else to claim as our own. Nobody was hurt and nobody was trapped, there would be no human injuries or lives lost on this night… in this blaze. For
that, all of us here at The Woods are thankful. Within a few hours, thankfully, the firemen were able to extinguish the fire and soon after we were allowed back into our home to collect a few things as we made plans to stay elsewhere. During this traumatic time Lt. Davies communicated with us in a steady calm just as he communicated throughout the blaze with his team of firefighters. In the end everyone was safe and the fire was contained to a single unit. Our thoughts go out to our neighbours who lost their home and nearly all of its contents and to the tenants of surrounding units, like ours, who received less severe fire and water damage. The next day I paid a visit to Fire Hall No. 1 in downtown Chilliwack and spoke to Fire Prevention Captain Don Van Beest. I wanted to find out a little bit more about Lt. Eric Davies. Capt. Beest explained to me, with a certain glow and father-like admiration, that Eric deserves credit for his professionalism and stated, “Eric is very, very good at what he does.” So, this letter is really meant to be a sincere thank you to Lt.
Davies and his crew from Fire Hall No. 4, and to any of the other career or paid-on-call firefighters who pulled on their boots and threw on a helmet to come save whatever they could save on that most unsettling of nights. The efforts, sacrifice, and precision in which this group of men performed needs to be recognized and that’s what I’m doing here. Thanks to every single one of you men…your efforts have not gone unnoticed! Finally, I’m not sure who it was, but some brave young man upon noticing the fire at 1:45 a.m., knocked hard on my front door, rang the doorbell multiple times and shouted, “Fire, Fire… Get Out!” I believe he continued doing this for surrounding tenants too. He woke me from a deep sleep, and in turn I woke Theresa and we were able to rush out of our home and away from danger. To you, whoever you are, thank you. This old world can be tough sometimes and tends to throw challenges and certain danger our way from time to time. It’s comforting to know that heroes do indeed live among us.

Street repair should come before park After reading the article about the new proposed reflecting pool at Skelton Park across from City Hall I feel compelled to write this. (Park across from city hall to get reflecting pool, Progress, Aug. 7.) As a taxpayer and home owner I am peeved to say the least, I have been having on going issues with the city about the sad state of our street, living here for the last 21 years as well as many other home owners of the houses here on Edward Street. We have been asking and begging to have it repaired for over 10 years. As many of you might know, it is the street with access through the tunnel to which children,
bike riders, the elderly on foot and many on scooters use on a daily basis, the road to which the city admits is in sad state of disrepair. To give you some background the street has NO drainage what so ever, it is split down the middle, grass grows through it , every time it rains it floods, the sides of the road are gone and falling apart. I even broke my foot out front on the street because of the difference in pavement. When I made the city aware of the broken foot I suffered they showed up and added some gravel to the side of the broken pavement( which is all gone now). I have made numerous phone calls to the city only to be told it is not
in the budget and is slated to be done in the next three to five years, well that was 10 years ago and last month after another lengthy call I was told the exact same thing not for three to five years and was told they would “get back to me.” I still haven’t had a return call. Yet when I opened my local paper a year or so ago I see that all council members were getting iPads. I wonder how much of the taxpayers’ money went to pay for those? And yet again I see that now a “park” if you can call it that is slated to be redone, of course it is across from the city. I wonder how much that is going to cost taxpayers? And yet there is not enough in
the budget to fix and repave a street with 10 houses? Within the last 35 years? And yes, it has been 35 years according to other long-time owners, Just where are our tax dollars and property tax hikes going? I am personally sick and tired of the ever increasing taxes I pay going to such frivolous things. I guess the next step for us home owners on Edward Street is to get a petition and show up with all the pictures in hand and demand they spend some of our money accordingly so that we can all use our street and the tunnel safely.

proposing a pipeline in northern B.C., has shaken support by the B.C. Liberal government, which is now calling for ironclad cleanup guarantees before it approves the project. Enbridge’s loss could be Kinder Morgan’s gain, however, as both companies compete to pump oil across B.C. to reach higher-paying Asian export
markets. Kinder Morgan expects to file its applications for approval in late 2013, and, if approved by the National Energy Board, start construction in 2016. Enbridge has already filed for NEB approval, and hopes to start construction in mid-2014. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

BCGEU raise offer withdrawn
TO CALL YOUR OWN!
After targeting provincial ministry offices with their second oneday strike, the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union says the provincial government has followed through on its threat to withdraw its offered wage increase. BCGEU negotiators had rejected a raise of two per cent this year and 1.5 per cent next year when it was presented in late June. The union wants 3.5 this year and a raise equivalent to the cost of living increase for 2013. After the first walkout, Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said the wage offer could be withdrawn if strikes continued.

Corn: The sweet taste of summer CORN from p7 the business from the Mitchells. He started selling locally grown corn from the handy drive-thru stands, with a smaller wholesale and bulk division. Freshness is everything in the corn business. “The minute you pick a cob of corn, the sugar starts to turn to starch. So the old joke goes you start your water boiling before you go pick the corn.”

His first field had a poor yield because of the wet and cool spring. “But after the first one, the yields are over twice the normal rate,” he said. He’s got a killer crop. “Now I’m hoping for a big month.” Check out all the locations, along with some recipes at chilliwackcorn.com jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

And never over-cook it. There’s no reason to boil it more than four or five minutes. “You don’t want to stew it. If it doesn’t taste good raw, it won’t taste good cooked.” The Sparkes corn business grew from one corn barn location at first, up to 12, in Chilliwack, Agassiz and Abbotsford. There’s a new one at Surrey Memorial that opened last week. But Sparkes has no plans to take over the entire Fraser Valley.

Rachael’s Grandma’s Story The names are changed in this story. I love my little granddaughter Rachael. I noticed Sardis Family Place and thought this would be a good place for Rachael to go play with other young children. As we arrived and walked through the door for the first time, Rachael began to scream. She clung to my knee. I encouraged her to come and sit in the Children’s Circle Time and listen to the story and sing songs. Rachael continued to cling to me. I wondered if I should stop coming. The staff encouraged me to keep trying, sitting with Rachael and making myself available to her. I marveled at the first time Rachael ventured away from me to play at the train table! Rachael began to notice the toys and fun activities. She found a few favorite toys to play with and looked forward to going to the Circle Time. Now Rachael grabs my hand to take her into the Circle Time room! She doesn’t want to miss out. Rachael has become a very social little girl.

Aboriginal storyteller to offer tales of cedar The cedar tree is recognized by the Sto:lo people as their ancestor, in much the same way the sturgeon and mountains are. That’s the kind of tidbit you might pick up at the next Cultural Experience Series event in the Sto:lo Resource Centre on Aug. 11. This Saturday, master cedar weaver Wendy Ritchie from Skowkale will be telling stories about the origins of the cedar tree, and sharing the teachings of Xe’pay, an ancient Sto:lo ancestor. “It’s our seventh cultural event in the past year,” says organizer Francine Douglas. “It keeps growing each time.” The last event attracted 75 people who were looking for the emphasis on fostering community, understanding and a shared cultural experience.

The spectacular hit Mamma Mia! comes to the Prospera Centre in Chilliwack on August 17.
Mamma Mia! brings music of ABBA to life The Progress Fans of the smash hit Mamma Mia! just can’t help themselves. They often get up and dance right in the aisles. For many of those streaming into Prospera Centre on August 17 in Chilliwack, the blockbuster musical will be like hearing the soundtrack of their youth. “The tag-line for the show is Broadway’s non-stop party,” explained Devin Archer, 24, who sings and dances in the ensemble. Energetic performers with big personalities were something they were looking for while casting for the touring production. “I think Mamma Mia is quite different,” said Archer. “There’s a story, and it’s fun and kind of wild, but we are also responsible for sharing the music of ABBA and bringing it to life.” Mamma Mia! the stage musical
was written by British playwright Catherine Johnson, with pop/ dance tunes composed by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, former band members. Hit songs range from “Dancing Queen,” and “SOS” to “Take a Chance on Me,” and “Knowing Me, Knowing You.” The story of Mamma Mia is about an independent, single mom who owns a small hotel on an idyllic Greek island. Donna is about to let go of Sophie, her spirited daughter she’s raised on her own, with a big wedding. But little does she know, Sophie has secretly invited three guests of her own. On a quest to find the identity of her real dad, she brings back three suitors from Donna’s past to the Mediterranean paradise they visited 20 years earlier. Over 24 hours, new love will bloom and old romances will be rekindled. The tour has been going for almost two years, and Archer joined the cast out of Chicago in April.
“We get to do this high energy, fun show, that leaves our audiences with a smile. That’s something we take a whole lot of pleasure from,” he said. The stats for the stage musical are so impressive as to render them almost unbelievable. It’s been enjoyed by a staggering 50 million people around the world. The current North American tour has played 4000 performances in 166 cities. For Archer, 24, “It’s been a big week,” he admitted, when we reached him on his cell phone from the tour in Regina, Saskatchewan. “People ask me where I was last week and I have to wrack my brain to come up with an answer.” It’s all a bit of a blur. “Next week when we’re heading into your city, we’ll have bused across Canada.” They’re doing five cities in seven days, with a total of six shows,

through Saskatchewan, Alberta, and B.C. They hop on tour buses at the crack of dawn, drive to a new city, and get ready for a morning sound check. “Then we get on stage later that night and give people our all. We give the show 100 per cent,” he said, adding that what most people might not realize is what’s involved “shlepping” across the continent with such a large-scale production. The Northwestern University grad deigned to the suggestion he must be a “triple threat” with talent in acting, singing and dancing. He’s also an understudy for the role of Sky, who is Sophie’s financé. “I wouldn’t call myself that. But there are a lot of us here who do offer that,” he said humbly. “What I think this production calls for is a performer who can provide a lot of energy and personality. “It really requires that of the cast, and to constantly have new ideas on
stage. So we encourage our fellow cast mates to have fun out there every night and hopefully that gets translates to the audience.” It’s definitely working. Fans in many cities find the last 10 minutes of the show offers up an irresistible “mega mix” of ABBA songs. “That gets most of the audience up and dancing in the aisles,” Archer added. And the performers enjoy that joyful reaction very much. “We like to encourage the people watching to get up and have fun with us.” For more details go to www. mammamianorthamerica.com. Mamma Mia!

know about, and a professional can guide you quickly and competently through the transaction. Realtors educate their clients about the local market and work with other agents to match buyers and sellers. They help sellers to prepare their home or land for sale. First, they help the seller to decide on a price; this involves an analysis of properties that have recently sold and properties that are currently on the market. This preparation may also include getting an opinion from a home inspector about the condition of your home and making the needed repairs or cosmetic improvements. Realtors familiarize their clients who are interested in buying a home with all the aspects of financing, such as current interest rates and fees that are subject to frequent changes. They negotiate the details on price, financing, inspection, closing and possession dates, and other deadlines. Your Realtor will spend a great deal of time co-ordinating all of the details that are critical to a smooth closing and take you through the entire process step by step.

RE/MAX Nyda Realty www.joannesmithhomes.com
It has never been more important to work with a Realtor when purchasing or selling a home than it is today because of the potential for legal complications in any real estate transaction. What at times may appear to be a rather straight-forward process is actually quite complex burdened by regulations and industry practices. It takes the knowledge and experience of a real estate professional to co-ordinate the proliferating paper maze. The sale or purchase of a property involves a lengthy and complex purchase contract, the mortgage application and approval process, choices about holding title and the fine print in completion instructions. There are contract contingencies to consider, such as financing issues, environmental disclosures, and the sellers’ disclosure obligations. The buyer and seller must make decisions about the deposit. During the closing, numerous forms and papers must be filed with conveyancers, including loan documents, title forms, home protection plans, proof of insurance, and more. Besides the potential legal complications, buying or selling a home often demands buyers or sellers make decisions on a moment’s notice. A competent real estate agent is necessary because he or she understands all the inner workings of a real estate transaction and is experienced in handling any complications. There are many details of real estate you must

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey. I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here. So I feel like I’m well qualified to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

Bates adjusting to life off the football field Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Jayson Bates wanted to play football this year. After graduating form the Chilliwack Huskers following last season, the Kelowna kid still had the urge to strap on the pads and hit someone. But it didn’t work out. Two CIS programs showed interest, but eventually declined to bring him on board. He could have, in theory, played in a local men’s league or even gone to Europe. But sometimes, the trick is knowing when to hang ‘em up. “It sucks, and I admit watching last weekend’s exhibition game, it kind of sucked not being able to go on the field,” Bates said. “But everyone’s got to hang ‘em up eventually, and it was my time.” When it’s over, it’s nice to have a fallback plan. On Tuesday evening, Bates was at Exhibition Stadium for a Huskers practice, as a coach. If you can’t be in the game as a player, it’s the next best thing. “The intensity is definitely not there as a coach,” Bates said, comparing the two. “You’ve got to calm yourself down. It would be nice to hit somebody again, but I totally understand that I can’t.” He says that with a straight face, but you can almost see it now — Bates on Youtube, leaping out from the sidelines to tackle a Westshore Rebels kick returner. The biggest test for a player turning coach is

this. You may be able to play the game, but can you teach it? It is often said that great players make lousy coaches, and lousy players make great coaches. Bates was far from l o u s y, but is he able to communicate what he knows to the next generation? Jayson “ I BATES star ted playing football when I was 12 or 13 years old, and I was once that player that had to be coached in everything,” Bates said. “And when I got here, I had some great coaches and I was able to step back and see how they approached the job.” One thing he learned is that approaches must be tailored to individual players. “Some guys you can yell at and some guys
you have be calm, cool and collected with,” he said. “I did not mind being yelled at. Kick me in the ass? Great. Now I know what I have to do. A guy like Levi Weaver wasn’t a loud, in-yourface player. You’d yell at him and he’d take it, but if you told him quietly or subtly hinted, that was the better approach.” Bates learned that lesson well when the coaches demoted Weaver to the secondteam defence one week. “They didn’t tell him anything. They just put him down to team two, and he had the best practice week of his life,” Bates recalled. “It was the best week of Levi I’ve ever seen. Being captain the last couple years helped me learn how to gauge different people.” Current Langley Rams head coach Jeff Alamolhoda was Bates’ defensive coordinator for a couple years in Chilliwack. From ‘Hoda,’ Bates learned the vale of study
and preparation. When he wasn’t on the field, Alamolhoda was known for poring over game videos, dissecting his team and other teams to identify
strengths and weaknesses. As a player, Bates was handed a playbook and told where to go and what to do on the field.
Now, he’s involved in the strategy and enjoying it. “Game film used to be watching me, finding my mistakes and figuring out what I could do
better,” he said. “It’s different because I’m not getting yelled at anymore. It used to be, this is my job and as long as I do my job, it’s fine. Now it’s a lot broader. I have to think about all 12 guys on the field and what they’re doing wrong and right.” Bates talks about everything with such enthusiasm that you can almost believe he’s accepted that his playing days are done. “I don’t think I’ll ever come to terms with it, and even my family and my girlfriend have been talking about the men’s league and Europe,” Bates said. “But in the immediate future, I think I have to get school started (he’s taking kinesiology courses at UFV). Apparently you can never be too old for men’s league, so we’ll see what happens in the future.” Bates will be on the sidelines Saturday as the Huskers host Victoria’s Westshore Rebels in the team’s home opener. Kick is at 2 p.m.

The games continue Saturday
when peewee and junior bantam teams from Chilliwack, Mission, Surrey, Abbotsford and Kelowna square off. The peewee games start at 9 a.m. and junior bantam games kick off at 2 p.m. Chilliwack Giants Midget team will face the Nanaimo Redmen under the lights at 7 p.m. The tournament continues on Sunday with another full day of games as the Atom teams kick off at 8 a.m. Chilliwack Giants Bantam team will take on the North Surrey Panthers beginning at 2 p.m. Teams have spent the last eight to 10 weeks practising and

For many golfers, feeling like you are swinging at 80 per cent tempo will help you hit it farther and consistently straighter, writes Jennifer Greggain ust about every golfer is looking for more distance, yet the more they try to hit the ball farther, the worse the result. Gaining those few extra yards can be a difficult topic. Here are three tips to gaining more power in your swing. First, extension in the golf swing is one of the fundamentals that every good golfer has in common. You often hear the over-used golf clichĂŠ “keep your left arm straight.â€? What this refers to is extension in the backswing. Physics tells us that the widest arcs create the most power. Most amateurs, however, try to “helpâ€? their backswing create more power by breaking down their extension in the backswing. This is often times because it feels like a bigger, more powerful swing. A backswing with good extension may feel a little bit shorter, but it will not cause a loss of distance. Rather, it will help you hit longer, more consistent shots. To practice this, I tell my students to try and keep their hands as far away from their body as their arms will allow, in their backswing, and through the impact and post impact positions. Secondly, be sure you are setting your wrists properly in your backswing. Look for a 90 degree angle in your arms and shaft of the club by the time your left forearm is parallel to the ground. This feels like the end of the grip is pointing down to the ground. Then, as you transition from your backswing into your downswing, try to maintain this 90 degree angle as long as possible before impact. By holding on to this angle as long as possible, you will release this energy onto the ball, and create the maximum amount of distance. Finally, take a look at your swing tempo. Are you trying to hit the ball harder or faster to gain more distance? For many golfers, smoothening out your tempo will actually result in more distance. For many golfers, feeling like you are swinging at 80 per cent tempo will help you hit it farther and consistently straighter. I explain the perfect swing tempo is like cracking a whip. Bring the club back smoothly, then accelerate through the shot. Also make sure your grip pressure isn’t too tight. Hold the club with loose hands, arms and shoulders. This will allow the proper transfer of energy from your body through to the club head and onto the ball, resulting in a shot that “rocketsâ€? off the club face. On another note, tempo is always a good swing thought to bring onto the golf course. It is not too technical, and speaks to “feelâ€? rather than technique. When asked my best piece of advice in pro ams on Tour, my answer was always to look for an ideal smooth tempo.
