Chamber has questions for pipeline prez Robert Freeman The Progress Kinder Morgan president Ian Anderson may find some pointed questions on his plate at this week’s Chamber of Commerce luncheon, after members heard from pipeline opponents last Thursday. Realtor Mark Andersen said he wants to ask Anderson what the company will do if a pipeline leak spills into the Fraser River and destroys the lucrative tourist and sport fishing trade that pumps millions of dollars into the Chilliwack If we don’t economy. “If that happens, pose the the Fraser and Vedder River multi-million difficult tourism industr y questions, would dry up pretty fast,” Andersen said, who will? after the noon-hour meeting. “I’m not saying I’m ~ Mark opposed to the pipeAndersen line twinning,” he added. “I just want to make sure our natural resources are well looked after.” “If we don’t pose the difficult questions, who will?” he asked. Mike Hale and Sheila Muxlow, Pipe Up Network members who spoke at the Chamber meeting, clearly hope the people of Chilliwack will ask as well. Hale said pipeline companies Kinder Morgan and Enbridge have the “raw economic power” to push their plans through the approval process, but, “what we have is people power.” “If the people of B.C. stand up and say ‘No’ ... that will send a huge message,” he said, to governments and to the National Energy Board. And if no one is listening there, Hale said he’s heard talk of “massive civil disobedience” should the pipeline projects be approved. “I think that’s quite true,” he said.

Friends of the Chilliwack Paramount will hear the fate of the old downtown building at a city council meeting on Aug. 21. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE
City may opt to restore Paramount Staff report calls for a business plan Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Friends of the Chilliwack Paramount Theatre were elated Friday afternoon — even though their business plan for a repertory theatre in downtown Chilliwack looks like it might get rejected. City council could decide Tuesday to reject the group’s proposal, and explore instead the idea of restoring the old Paramount Theatre building for long-term use as a “civic facility,” according to the Aug.
21 council meeting agenda. “This is better. We’re very excited,” said Friends of the Paramount spokesperson Laura Reid. “We’re not talking about demolition at least. We’re talking about the reality that the building has years of life left in it.” This new development, in the form of a staff recommendation in the agenda, is a 180-degree turn from the direction taken this winter. Council was then exploring the possibility of demolishing the historic building, in tan-

dem with a CEPCO plan to demolish one it owns next door. The rationale for looking at demolition was the cost-prohibitive price-tag for repairs of the building built in 1949, estimated then to be between $250,000 and $300,000. Then the Paramount group was given a chance to devise an alternative proposal in June, which it did, coming up with a not-for-profit model of running a non-mainstream film society in the old theatre building. Now the staff recommendation is that the city itself take over the mandate to develop a business plan for “the remediation, restoration and operation”
of the historic building. “This is even better than we could have imagined,” said Reid. Friends of the Paramount member Kim Mallory agreed on that point. “It’s a complete reversal, but it’s a better outcome than what we could have imagined,” she said. “It’s what the city should have done in the first place. I feel our voices have been heard.” It might have been the combination of the group’s perseverance, the wave of public support and the ample media coverage, Mallory added. Continued: THEATRE/ p14

Sockeye returns spell bad news for sport fishery Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The 2012 Fraser River sockeye run is running out of steam. It looks likely that neither the commercial fleet nor recreational anglers will be getting a crack at the prized red salmon this year. The run size estimate for the summer run of sockeye remained unchanged Friday at 1.3 million, and about 2.3 million for the total Fraser

sockeye returns, according to the Pacific Salmon Commission “The late run sockeye is the limiting factor,” said Barry Rosenberger, co-chair of the Fraser River Panel, and also DFO’s area director for the Interior. They would need the late summer run to reach about 300,000 fish to trigger a commercial fishery opening for sockeye. “Currently we’re only at about 250,000 fish,” he said.
At Fred’s Custom Tackle, the lack of a 2012 recreational sockeye opening will mean an estimated quarter of a million dollar hit to the bottom line just for the retail location in Chilliwack, said store owner Fred Helmer. He figures it’s another $350,000 in losses at the Abbotsford store. The fishery is a huge economic engine for the region, and many are frustrated by the poor returns. “It’s a bitter pill to swallow,” he
said. “And I’m just one guy. You just got to go with whatever is out there and hope that Mother Nature cooperates next year.” It was an exceedingly tough year for the sport fishing retail and guiding industry, starting with the challenges of high water over a prolonged wet and cold spring, and early predictions for poor Fraser sockeye returns. “You always hope somewhere deep down they’re going to be

wrong. The estimates aren’t an exact science,” said Helmer. One of the issues in the summer run is that stocks of concern, like the dwindling Cultus Lake sockeye, are intermingled with other stocks coming through the system. “I think at this point there’s an attitude of resignation out there now among recreational anglers,” said Rod Clapton of the B.C. Federation of Drift Fishers. Continued: SOCKEYE/ p12

A boil water advisory for the Mount Shannon area of Little Mountain was issued. Routine water tests detected the presence of e. coli in the untreated water supply Thursday, and it will remain in place until the readings are clear. “This is likely due to the extended period of hot weather which creates an environment that encourages the growth of such bacteria,” said David Blain, city director of engineering, in a release. The water “did not meet acceptable drinking water quality standards due to bacteriological counts (ecoli) detected within the Mount Shannon zone 2 water supply reservoir,” according to the news release. “The City is taking immediate action to bring water in this supply back to acceptable drinking standards.” Chlorination and water system flushing was set to get underway to complete the disinfection work and make the water safe for drinking. Last year the city tested its upgraded equipment and self-contained reservoir system on Little Mountain, with a chlorination test. Boil the water for two minutes at a roiling boil and allow it to cool. A hand-delivered written notice went out to affected residents’ homes.
Roller coaster temperatures continue in Chilliwack as a cold front moved into the province over the weekend cooling down record-breaking heat waves. The second — and hottest — threeday heat wave of the summer sent Chilliwack-area temperatures soaring above 34 degrees Celsius, peaking at 34.6 C Friday. The first three-day heat wave earlier this month hit 34.5 C on Aug. 5, nearly 10 degrees above normal. An air quality advisory for the Fraser Valley was lifted Saturday with the change in weather patterns. Roger Pannett, Environment Canada’s volunteer weather observer in Chilliwack, said Chilliwack has experienced 27 days with “no measurable rainfall, the longest drought” since the 30-day dry spell set Aug.18-Sept.16 in 1998. But in June, the city was nervously eyeing possible flooding of the Fraser River because of record-breaking rains. June was the “coolest and wettest” in 31 years, Pannett reported at the time, with a total 143.1 mm of rain falling in 21 days. The mean minimum temperature was 10.37 C, slightly lower than the 30-year average of 10.5 C. A heat wave back in June could have spelled disaster. “With a well-above normal mountain snowpack throughout the Fraser River watershed, thankfully Fraser Valley severe flooding was avoided simply because of the absence of a provincial heat wave,” Pannett said. The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said more of this kind of weather is expected as the world’s climate changes. The U.S. saw its warmest year ever, according to the NOAA. Chilliwack-area temperatures are expected to continue falling this week, with rain in the forecast Thursday, but then rise again to the mid-20s next week. The hottest day in Chilliwack remains the 35.7-degrees C set on Aug. 15, 2010.

No animals lost in Chilliwack Central Road barn fire to herd the cattle to safety, with the help of firefighters. “The owners were wrangling the little guys when we arrived,” Assistant Fire Chief Jim MacDonald said. He said the firefighters first attacked the flames threatening the exterior of the cattle barn, and then went after the commodity barn.

But the roof had already collapsed there, and it was eventually destroyed by the fire. Twenty-two firefighters from three fire halls responded to the fire call. No firefighter or civilian injuries were reported. The cause of the fire is under investigation.

News Student doctors, nurses get student loan break Robert Freeman The Progress Agassiz, Hope and other rural communities in the eastern Fraser Valley will be interested in the federal government’s new incentive plan for doctors and nurses, says ChilliwackFraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl. But the plan to “forgive” a portion of student loans for family doctors, nurses and nurse practitioners won’t particularly help Chilliwack, he said, because the city’s population is over the

threshold for eligibility. Family doctors and residents in family medicine working in communities with populations under 50,000 will be eligible to receive up to $8,000 per year in student loan forgiveness to a maximum $40,000 over five years. Nurses and nurse practitioners can get up to $4,000 per year to a maximum $20,000 over five years under the same criteria. Strahl said other rural communities in the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon riding like
Harrison Hot Springs, Ashcroft and Cache Creek could also benefit from the program. The plan is one of three employment initiatives announced by the federal government last week. A new pilot program will allow the unemployed to keep more of their earnings from part-time jobs while continuing to receive employment insurance benefits. Starting this month, they will be able to keep half their total job earnings. Previously, they

After that, benefits were reduced dollar-for-dollar by the amount earned from part-time jobs. “We wanted to remove disincentives to work while on EI,” Strahl explained, because studies showed an “attachment” to the workforce was a “gateway” to a return to fulltime work.

According to Statistics Canada, there were about 870 people in May regularly claiming EI benefits in Chilliwack, down from 1,010 or a decrease of about 14 per cent over the year from May, 2011. The numbers in Abbotsfor d-Mission also dropped to 2,790 from 2,990 in the same period. Parents who take time off work to look after children with a “life-threatening” illness or injury will soon be eligible for 35 weeks of income support under the third initiative. “It’s a recognition of both the emotional and financial burdens faced by parents in dealing with a sick child, and will help them cope with one of the most difficult challenges any parent will face,” Strahl said. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Tamihi beefs up its security after million-dollar arson Robert Freeman The Progress Tamihi Logging is beefing up security at all its sites and boosting a reward to $50,000 for the arrest and conviction of whoever set company equipment ablaze in late June. Griffin Investigation & Security Services is now monitoring Tamihi offices, storage yards, log sorts and logging sites with hidden cameras, mobile patrol vehicles and “other means of detection.” “The overall objective is to apprehend and deter the criminal element from committing their crimes,” Griffin owner Brian Gladstone said in a news release. “It’s only a matter of time before we are able to force these criminals to seek other locations,” he said. Tamihi owner Brian Dorman said the com-

had apparently been set sometime earlier at a company site on the Mount Woodside Forest Service Road. Dorman said at the time that the new replacement value of the equipment was $1.5 million, and to recover from the loss five employees would have to be laid off.

High water on the Fraser River in June has caused a delay in the construction of the Island 22 Bike Park. River water levels remain “unusually high for this time of year,” George Murray, Fraser Valley Regional District
CEO, said in a news release. And although seepage through dikes has stopped, the construction company had to move on to other clients in Alberta, he said. Construction is expected to resume in early September “or as soon as the water table drops enough to allow
heavy equipment to work on the site without damaging the surface.” No extra costs are expected because of the delay. Construction of the bike park began in February. Wooden jump structures and a perimeter trail have not been damaged by the high water,

Murray said. “The jumps are expected to withstand similar high water events in the future,” he said. The bike park is a joint project by the FVRD and the City of Chilliwack, which is paying $200,000 for design and construction. The FVRD is paying $10,000 annually for maintenance and supervision.
Chilliwack RCMP are advising homeowners to be on the lookout for a young man going door-to-door offering to mow lawns. “What aroused suspicion with the residents is that the male had neither a lawn mower nor a vehicle,” said RCMP Cpl. Len Vannieuwenhuizen. Several complaints from residents were received about the young man, who appeared to take an interest in the inside of the their homes. The young man, described as caucasian about 20 years old with sandy blond hair and wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, was traveling on foot. Police are also advising homeowners that, despite the hot weather, they should not leave windows and doors open and should not allow any unknown persons inside their homes. For more information on home safety, homeowners are urged to call their local Block Watch coordinators. Anyone with more information about the lawn mowing scam are asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611

ICBC’s ongoing woes
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
The BC Liberals have completely mishandled ICBC, and the proof came on Thursday, when a review showed that the company has been hiring boatloads of senior managers and paying them more each year — with the government apparently oblivious to this fact. There are 32 per cent more managers than in 2007, and they are paid (as a group) 70 per cent more than managers received in 2007. Fifty-four of them made more than $200,000 each in 2011. The Liberals insisted, on taking office in 2001, that ICBC didn’t need to be privatized, nor did there need to be complete competition in the auto insurance sector. They merged ICBC operations with the motor vehicle branch, and had ICBC contribute to policing initiatives, and thus thoroughly muddled it with legitimate government activities. This has made it very difficult to unwind ICBC, the insurance company, from ICBC, the public policy arm. They have also insisted, especially in recent years, that substantial dividends from ICBC go back to the shareholder — the government. This means that all ICBC customers, and that’s everyone who owns a vehicle, are paying additional insurance premiums to boost government revenues. This is not a commercial transaction — it’s a tax grab, hidden in the guise of insurance costs. The government has now, very belatedly, said ICBC meeds to cut its management costs and manager compensation. This comes just after ICBC has boosted insurance rates by 11.2 per cent. The simple fact is this: ICBC is being used by government for all sorts of purposes that are far afield from its ostensible role as a public car insurance company. ICBC needs to be privatized. If there was true competition in all aspects of car insurance, most good drivers would see their premiums reduced. They most certainly would not be paying an additional amount to the insurance company which ends up in government coffers. ICBC has been mismanaged by both the NDP and the Liberals. ~ Black Press

Where there’s smoke, there’s climate trouble It was a no brainer that the recent hot weather and absence of rain would spike the danger of forest fires. It’s been that way right across western North America. Just south of the border in Cle Elum, Washington, a grassland fire has burned 60 homes across 65 square kilometres. Currently there are over 90 fires larger than 10 hectares burning across B.C., many in the southeast where there have been 47 new wildfires, 43 of which were caused by lightning. In the north Okanagan last week, an aggressive grass fire threatened homes and a golf resort and another burned above the Sea to Sky Highway. This fiscal year, there have been over 1,020 fires in the province burning over 32,000 hectares. And across the continent and around the world, drought, parched land from excessive heat, and uncon-

trollable wild fires became the hallmarks of the summer. Earlier in July, smoke and haze carried on winds from massive wild fires in Russia pushed the ozone to record levels in the B.C. Interior, triggering air quality advisories right across the region. In June the Waldo Canyon wildfire in Colorado was Margaret so vast it could be EVANS seen from space. It burned over 18,000 acres and destroyed nearly 350 homes. But the largest blaze in the U.S. this summer has been in Montana where nearly 400,000 acres burned. Forest fires threaten life and property and, given global warming, they are expected to get
worse. But there are longer reaching consequences to forest fires that feed the whole destructive cycle which have been recently studied by biologists with the U.S. Forest Service’s Pacific Northwest Research Station and the Climate Impacts Group at the University of Washington. Forests in the Pacific Northwest store massive amounts of carbon. But when they burn they release that carbon into the atmosphere, contributing to greenhouse gases that promote more warming, triggering more atmospheric changes that set the stage for more fires. “When considering the use of forests to store carbon, it will be critical to consider the increasing risk of wildfire, especially in the west, where climate-induced changes in fire are expected to be a key agent of change,” said Crystal Raymond, research biologist at the station’s
Pacific Wildland Fire Sciences Laboratory and lead author of the study that appeared in the journal Ecological Applications. She estimates that, by 2040, parts of Washington State could lose up to a third of their carbon stores as wildfires burn up forests. By geographical extension, those effects could be mirrored in B.C.’s forests. Raymond emphasized that even small increases in burned areas could have large consequences for carbon stored in biomass. At UBC’s Department of Forest Sciences, Prof. Sally Aitken and colleagues are researching how trees adapt to climate change. In an article by Heather Amos in UBC Reports, trees adapted to one geographical region may not thrive as well forty years from now as global warming changes temperature and moisture patterns, impacting biodi-

versity. That could be a problem for the forestry industry that annually plants 230 million trees in B.C. Aitken and her team are looking at genetic variations in trees in Western Canada, especially the commercially valuable lodgepole pine and interior spruce, to assess where trees with specific adaptations will best be geographically suited in the future. They are sequencing and analyzing genes from more than 15,000 seedlings growing in simulated climates in growth chambers. “Ultimately we want to know where to find the seeds that are best adapted for the future climatic conditions of a region,” said Aitken. Understanding the nature of trees, their dynamics for growth, and management tools for improved forest health may help to cope with climate change.

super tankers to our, so far, pristine marine environment. What seems to escape the notice of the backers of both these proposals, and that includes Brenda Kenny, the author of the above mentioned editorial, is that if something can go wrong, it will. This is not hyperbole, this is fact. That there hasn’t been a tanker spill so far in our waters does not mean there never will. It is inevitable, folks, if it can happen, it will. Instead of spending these untold billions of dollars just to profit the pipeliners and the oil barons, why couldn’t the dollars be spend on finding alternative sources of energy? Our dependence on petroleum will come to an end eventually, as we all know. Eventually we will run out of oil. In the meantime, it behoves us
Progress to try mightily to replace petroleum with other, more sustainable sources of energy. If this seems self-evident to me, who does not have a ph.d in anything but experience, why does it not make sense to the powers that be? Let’s accept that if a major pipeline bursts in the wilds of B.C.’s interior that it could not be contained soon enough to prevent a major environmental catastrophe. Let’s accept that if a super tanker goes aground and a major oil spill occurs it will destroy a pristine marine environment for decades. It only has to happen once in either case, and if it can happen, it will. Let’s stop it before it happens.
Glen Ringdal, CEO Prospera Centre
I am sure you are getting lots of complaints about the Mamma Mia show and I am just going to add to the numbers. The show was amazing the actors and actresses did an outstanding job even with the sweat pouring down their faces - but the venue the Prospera Centre was awful. The heat was excruciating, and the chairs that were advertised so much were fine to sit on but squished so close together that normal sized people could not have been comfortable. I was sitting so close to my neighbour that she and I could not have our arms to the side of our bodies. If we tried they touched and subsequently dripped sweat. The arena could not provide the right ambiance with the little details like the vivid clock light shinning in our eyes and all the lighted door ways - I understand one or two to show exit and bathroom access but it was very bright! It was hard to get into the feeling of the show. I could go on, about the poor elderly woman who had to move because she was feeling faint from the heat and the pregnant lady a few rows back from us and all the gentlemen whose shirts were soaked to the bone. All in all, Mamma Mia the performance was great - but I don’t think I will attend a show at Prospera again. My friends and I have been talking wondering if in a year from now we will remember the show or the heat, and sadly I think the sweat will win this one.

Great show Heated venue prompts apology ruined by heat Would you please allow me, through your pages, express to all the MAMMA MIA! fans that attended its performance in Prospera Centre how very sorry we at the Centre are for the uncomfortable experience caused by the excessive heat last Friday, the hottest day of the year (38 degrees at one point) in Chilliwack. Our six large air conditioning units were working as hard as possible but could not overcome the excessive heat that filled the building as a result of the building’s bay doors and other entrances being held open as we prepared for the show. As we all know, air conditioning does nothing when the doors are open so, by the time the doors were closed, the heat buildup was more than the conditioners could handle before the show started. The influx of more than 2,000 people only added to the heat level. While we did open all doors leading to the secondary ice rink and to the outdoors after sunset, we could not reduce the heat level significantly. And, while the concessions sold twice the amount of water normally anticipated, they still ran out – but then handed out free iced water to many patrons. We certainly wish the show had been scheduled the following day when outside temperature was 14 degrees cooler – but we cannot control such things. We will be looking at all ways that we might avoid such a situation in the future and hope that our patrons will appreciate that their great discomfort is well recognized by the many people who worked so hard to bring this great performance to Chilliwack. Thank you,

Pipeline ‘safety’ draws smile In your edition of August 16, 2012 there was an letter titled “Pipelines are committed to safety.” This headline brought a smile of derision to my face as we all know how far off the mark that statement is. This is the main objection to the Enbridge proposal to build the pipeline to Kitimat and to the twinning of the Kinder Morgan pipeline. It is the lack of safety and the potential destruction either of these pipelines present. I mean, let’s face it, they don’t have a particularly good safety record so far and there is no reason to believe that they will suddenly change their spots and become flawless. Then, when the proposed pipelines reach the sea, there is the potential of widespread destruction that is presented by

A Victoria businessman is heading up a proposal to build a $13-billion oil refinery in Kitimat. David Black, chairman and owner of Black Press (which owns the Chilliwack Progress), announced Friday he wants to build a world scale oil refinery at Kitimat, B.C. Black told a news conference in Vancouver Friday he is submitting an environmental assessment application to build a “world scale” oil refinery on behalf of Kitimat Clean Ltd., a company owned by Black. The application to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office is expected this fall. The proposed refinery would be big enough to process all the diluted bitumen carried by Enbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway pipeline. Black said he has had extensive discussions with Enbridge and other players in the Canadian oil industry, but none has so far offered to back the project. Black said he will use his own money to finance the proposal through environmental assessment, which he expects to cost several million dollars. After that, he said investors would be needed to complete it, assuming both the refinery and the pipeline receive approval. He has had preliminary meetings with Kitimat and Terrace councils, as well as the Haisla and Kitselas First Nations in the region. Black is working with Glenn McGinnis, a consulting engineer and former manager of the Ioco

oil refinery in Port Moody. “We want it [the Kitimat refinery] to be the cleanest and greenest upgrading and refining site in the world,” McGinnis said. The refinery would produce 240,000 barrels per day of diesel, 100,000 barrels per day of gasoline and 50,000 barrels per day of kerosene or aviation fuel, refined from heavy oil. Among those attending the news conference was Art Sterritt, executive director of the Coastal First Nations, a group in the Kitimat area that has strongly opposed the pipeline proposal. Sterritt disputed Black’s assertion that a B.C. refinery “solves half of the problem” with exported oil by shipping refined gasoline, jet fuel and diesel in tankers instead of heavy crude. Those products have their own risks, Sterritt said.
Black pointed out that without marine shipments of those fuels, the remote coastal communities Sterritt represents would not be able to function. The lighter fuel products are still an environmental hazard, but they dissipate much more quickly and do not persist for many years like spilled heavy crude, he said. NDP energy critic John Horgan was also skeptical. “At this point, it’s a proposal without business partners and without First Nations and local community support,” Horgan said. “It doesn’t change our position [opposing] the Enbridge Northern Gateway project.” Black said the refinery will mean nearly 6,000 construction jobs over a five-year period, 3,000 permanent jobs at the refinery and tax revenue for various levels of government.
Opponents say pipeline too risky PIPE from Front After the meeting, Hale told reporters that political leaders who don’t listen to the wishes of the people “abdicate their responsibility.” “If the political leaders don’t stand up and do something, it’s up to the people to do something,” he said. “It’s not a threat, it’s a prediction,” he said. To date, neither Chilliwack’s city council nor provincial MLAs and their parties have taken a stand against the Kinder Morgan pipeline. But Hale downplayed the “revolutionary” fervor pipeline officials have ascribed to environmental groups who oppose pipeline projects. “We’re not an environmental group, we’re your neighbours,” Hale told the Chamber audience. “We’re pro-environ-
ment in the sense we want to preserve this beautiful, abundant environment everyone in this room shares,” he said. “The environment is the container. If we destroy the container, we lose everything.” Hale and Muxlow suggested the economic reasons for Chilliwack to accept the added risk of what is essentially another pipeline through the community just aren’t there. Hale said a study of the Enbridge project suggests that few permanent jobs will be created in Chilliwack by the Kinder Morgan expansion project. Although the city gets $662,000 annually from Kinder Morgan, it’s a drop in the bucket when compared to the cost of cleaning up a pipeline spill, he said. Kinder Morgan’s “lack of transparency” about its plans is also a
Pipe Up concern. Muxlow said lawyers are looking into the legality of the company’s decision to pump tar sands through its Trans Mountain pipeline, without public notice. Pipe Up is not opposed to pumping conventional oil through the existing pipeline, she said, but if tar sands are pushed through the 59-year-old pipeline at higher temperatures and higher pressures “all our red lights need to be up.” Pipeline opponents claim tar sands is more corrosive than conventional crude oil, but the pipeline industry claims there is no difference and no higher risk of pipeline rupture. Muxlow and Hale also suggested Chilliwack will see an increase in the cost of gasoline, if the expansion is approved, that agricultural and underground
drinking water supplies could be damaged by a spill, and that local manufacturing will be “negatively impacted” as the export of tar sands will increase inflation and the exchange rate on Canadian dollars. Muxlow suggested the solution to meeting energy needs is not more pipelines, but developing clean, renewable energy sources. “Does it make sense to build more fossil fuel infrastructure, or (to) diversify?” she asked. Chamber members will get a chance to pose their questions to Anderson at an Aug. 23 luncheon at the Best Western Rainbow Country Inn. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Sockeye season winding down SOCKEYE from p3 DFO is still expecting a few more sockeye to come up the river but it won’t like change anything, and no one is expecting a recreational opening. “Whenever the late summers show up, it shuts down the fishing, so it’s not looking too positive for this season,” Clapton said. The big hope is for the year after next, when a record run is set to come back on its four-year cycle. “We’re just holding our breath that it will be a wonderful year.” DFO officials are not expecting things to change much for the rest of this season, but they’ll continue to monitor daily test fishing catches. “So we’re still looking for some more fish, but things are winding down,” said Rosenberger. Aboriginal fisheries on the Fraser have taken a total of 288,050 fish to date, according to the PSC. That is for all of the First Nations communities to share on the Fraser. “The thing is it’s either feast or famine in the aboriginal food fishery,” said Ernie Crey, fisheries advisor to the Sto:lo Tribal Council. “The DFO can try to spin this season saying it’s marginally better than four years ago, but there were fewer taken this year. The abundance or dearth of fish stocks depends on migrating patterns and conditions, which vary wildly from year to year. Impoverished First Nations communities along the Fraser watershed will have to work “really hard” with DFO officials, as well as commercial fishermen, conservation and sport fishing groups to restore these runs, he said. “Only when the spawning beds are reseeded and the strength of runs restored will the aboriginal priority to fish truly be respected.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

the Paramount should be saved,� Mallor y said. Part of the group’s mandate as a society, is saving “historically significant� buildings from the wrecking ball, like the old Paramount Theatre building. “It was like Christmas in August,� said Friends of the Chilliwack Paramount member Krista Butt. “I was thrilled to read the news in the city council meeting agenda.� The prospect of the city playing a coordinating role, with its ample experience already running arts facilities, is a reassuring one, Butt said. “It was so unexpected,� said Mallory. “Maybe it was the support we got locally, and from across the country. “It shows the community wants its history and its heritage preserved.� jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Robert CroftonSleigh, co-owner of Earthworks Composting Supplies, will be showing off his prized worms (above) and 60-feet of organic waste windrows (left) in the seventh annual Greendale Country Sampler being held this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. PHOTOS BY PROGRESS STAFF
The wonderful world of worm composting The seventh annual Greendale Country Sampler runs this Saturday from 10-5. Katie Bartel The Progress For kids, worms are fascinating. For teenage girls, they’re disgusting. For Robert and Sue Crofton-Sleigh, they’re a livelihood. Sixty feet of the Crofton-Sleigh’s two-acre, Greendale property is designated solely for worm breeding, a continuously regenerating crop that has anywhere from 50,000 to one million red wigglers circulating in the soil. The owners of Earthworks Composting Supplies, one of 14 businesses featured in this Saturday’s Greendale Sampler, breed and sell worms for composting systems. “Four years ago, I wouldn’t dare put my hands in a bin of worms,” laughed Robert. “But now, I’m sticking my hands into rotting fruits and vegetables all the time.” Robert’s life changed four years ago when he was first introduced to worm composting. The former long-distance truck driver was stuck in Kelowna waiting for a new load to come through when he got a call from dispatch requesting he transport a shipment of worm castings – also known as worm poop – to Oregon. Not surprising, his first reaction was one of disgust. But when you’re a self-employed
truck driver, you don’t say no to a load. Not even when it’s worms. However, when Robert arrived at the worm farm, it wasn’t at all what he had expected. “They were clean, beautiful, lovely, easy to load,” he said. “It was an overall fascinating experience.” And that’s when the worm wheels started turning. Robert and Sue began researching worm composting, the advantages, benefits, how it was better than other composting systems, and how they could make it viable on their small acreage. One year later, Robert traded in his big wheels for squishy, squirmy red wigglers. He developed a 60-foot windrow, consisting of layered organic waste, shredded paper, cardboard, coffee grounds and horse manure for the worms to feed and breed “in an environment they love.” And he transformed his garage into a mecca of worm composting habitats. But why? What’s so great about these worms and their composting abilities? Several things, said Robert. Worms are more efficient at breaking down organic wastes, eating their own weight in food every 24 hours, which means rotting fruits and vegetables, paper products, coffee grounds and tea bags can be turned into the “most wonderful castings” in just three months. Whereas other composts typically take up to two years before wastes are fully broken down. Worm poop is also considered the most
nutrient-rich soil containing high rates of nitrogen, phosphates, potash, beneficial bacteria and enzymes that “plants and vegetables thrive on,” said Robert. It’s also perfect for the environment. According to the Recycling Council of British Columbia, over 600 kilograms of waste is generated a year per person – 40 per cent of which could be composted. In landfills, rotting food waste is toxic, directly contributing to global warming by producing methane, a greenhouse gas that’s 21 times more potent than vehicle exhaust. “We’ve always been good recyclers,” said Sue. “This is just another little something to help our planet.” The seventh annual Greendale Sampler, an event that gives the community a behind-thescenes look into the unique home-based businesses and farms located in the Greendale region, is on Saturday, Aug. 25 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Other businesses featured include Chilliwack’s Original Corn Maze, Greendale Herb and Vine, Sylvie’s Light Sculptures, 5-Acre Ranch, Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, Greendale Pottery and Country Guest House, Rustic Soap Co., Redeemer’s Garden, Bromilee Variety Produce and Flowers, Smits and Co.w Farm Cheese, Hamel’s Fabrics, Chilliwack River Valley Natural Honey, and Anita’s Organic Grain and Flour Mill.

Get ready to ‘Rock and Bowl’ When Troy DeVries and Sheldon Wilson were looking for something that would set their new restaurant apart, they drew inspiration from the popular TV show “Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.” The show features chef Guy Fieri, who travels across the country in search of unique eateries that serve up something special. DeVries and Wilson wanted more than the typical burgerand-fries joint. So they created “Rock and Bowl Diner.” Located next to Chilli Bowl Lanes, the latter half of the diner’s name is easy to figure out. The first half is a reflection of the 1950s feel that the diner conveys. The checkered floors, posters and decor all take customers back to the time of the malt shop, a time when Elvis reigned and the neighbourhood diner was the place to be. “We wanted to be something of a specialty shop,” says DeVries. So they ramped up their menu, bringing nine dif-

ferent styles of hot dog, seven different burgers, and range of poutine, Their inspiration came from a little research and a lot of what they know about Chilliwack.
Rock and Bowl’s poutine has been a popular item at Party in the Park. On a typical night, says DeVries, they sell between 200 and 300 portions. They do it, he says, not to make money,
but to let people know they’ve got something special to offer. The hot dog selection has the classic Chicago style, as well as some popular variations, like the slaw dog, and the perogie dog. Each can be upgrade to a foot-long, DeVries points out. The burgers, meanwhile, all are handmade from scratch, and include interesting variations like the eggs Benedict burger. All this can be washed down with nine different varieties of milkshake – all made the old fashioned way. Rock and Bowl has been open for about two months, but the menu only recently was given its remake. The idea, says DeVries, is to set their restaurant apart and make it a destination for folks who have a hunger for a good, old fashion diner. The Rock and Bowl Diner is located at 45924 Wellington Ave, For information, call 604392-5006.

Partners in Learning!
Welcome to the 2012-2013 School Year It is my privilege to say hello to all parents, students, partners and Chilliwack School District learning community members. I am honored and excited to be a part of the Chilliwack School District. I look forward to working closely with the Board, staff and community on our aim: “Every student a graduate prepared for opportunities beyond graduation”.

Summer vacation is nearly over. The Chilliwack Board of Education is excited about the arrival of its new Superintendent, Evelyn Novak, and looks forward to her leadership as she guides the district through the four pillars of our Strategic Plan - Engaging All Learners, Successful Transitions, Technology Integration and Effective Communication. The Board believes that student literacy, academic achievement and social development are fundamental to everything we do! As school opening approaches, it is time to re-focus on teaching and learning. We have an outstanding team of administrators in our schools who provide leadership to professional and competent teaching and support staff. A strength of the Chilliwack School District is the positive working relationships we have with staff, parents, businesses and community groups. The collaboration with our partners provides a dimension that is critical for a successful public education system. We hope that the warm summer days have provided rest and relaxation time for our staff and families. The Board anticipates an exciting year full of opportunities and success. Let’s make it a great year!

Here we are in August and school will soon begin. On September 4th we will begin the new school year with over 13,000 students. The start of each school year is exciting because of the energy our students, staff, parents and community members bring to it - and all the possibilities that working together provides. The continued building of our partnerships and engagement of our Districts’s families and our community stakeholders is vital to our students having the best possible environment for learning.
In the short time I have been here I am reminded that our people are our strength and that we have a highly qualified and dedicated staff and Board serving our student population. We are very thankful to everyone who has worked diligently to prepare us for this new school year, including our custodial, maintenance and technology staffs, as well as our district office and many school-based staff members. We are here to serve our students and I look forward to our work as “Partners in Learning” during the 2012-2013 school year. With enthusiasm and excitement I anticipate a great school year with our students learning, achieving and growing!

Red Overhead Flashing Warning Lights Stop when approaching a school bus from either direction (Min. 10 metres). This means the school bus is stopped to either load or unload students. Wait until the red lights stop flashing and the driver indicates it is safe to proceed or until the bus moves off. Watch for students crossing the road. Amber Overhead Flashing Warning Lights Slow down and proceed with caution and be prepared to stop as the bus will be stopping to either load or unload students. Railroad Crossings The Motor Vehicle Act states that school buses carrying students must stop at all uncontrolled railway crossings, but Chilliwack School District has extended its policy to include stops at ALL railway crossings. -- Buses will display 4-way flashing amber lights to indicate the bus is stopping or stopped. -- Extra caution is required on the part of the motorists while the bus is stopped or stopping. Passing is permitted.

Living in our community means sharing the roadways with school buses. Let’s work together to ensure another safe year for our bus students.

Curb Stops on 3 and 4 Lane Roads It is almost impossible to stop 3 or 4 lanes of traffic with Red Overhead Flashing Warning Lights. For student safety, the school district employs Curb Stops similar to the City Transit Bus Service. Whenever possible, the bus proceeds through the intersection, students disembark, then cross the street at the nearest pedestrian crosswalk behind the bus. -- The school bus will display the 4-way Amber Flashing Lights, the same as at railway crossings. -- Extra caution is required by motorists to watch for students crossing the road at the nearest pedestrian crosswalk. Passing is permitted, but please use extreme caution. 8430 Cessna Drive Chilliwack, BC V2P 7K4 Phone: (604) 792.1321

common, the tests to detect it are not widely performed. “There are simple blood tests, serum transferrin (SF) or transferrin saturation (TS), that can be done to screen people for the disorder. These tests are not part of a general medical checkup, they have to be specifically ordered on a blood lab requisition form. We’ve been lobbying for years to get more tests done early to detect the problem.” DNA testing can confirm the presence of the three mutations known to cause hemochromatosis, he said. How prevalent is it? According to a study, 1 in 300 in the general population are affected. “If we can find one person with hemochromatosis [through testing],

The right amount of iron in the body is a good thing. Too much, and the scenario can potentially turn deadly. Canadian Hemochromatosis Society executive director Bob Rogers will be in Chilliwack on Saturday to talk about the country’s most common genetic disorder — hereditary hemochromatosis (HHC). This potentially fatal condition is actually caused by a defect of iron metabolism and can lead to iron overload in vital organs, joints and tissues. The good news is, says Rogers, that the complications caused by HHC are preventable if a diagnosis is made before the excess iron causes irreversible damage. The bad news is, that while hemochromatosis is

Huskers humbled by rampaging Rams The Chilliwack Huskers started a three game road stretch on the wrong foot Saturday night, falling 66-8 to the Langley Rams at McLeod Stadium in Langley. The Huskers generated just 104 yards in net offence and saw their 2012 BC Football Conference record fall to 0-3. Chilliwack trailed 21-7 after one quarter. Dylan Boykowich got the Huskers on the board, reeling in an eight yard pass from quarterback Braden Churly. Boykowich ended the day with two grabs for 13 yards. Churly completed eight of 21 passes for 77 yards, with the one TD offset by an interception.
The Huskers offence got nothing going on the ground, generating 62 yards on 24 carries for an average of 2.56 yards per carry. Churly was the top rusher, scrambling for 36 yards. Jamal Hamilton had 21 yards on four carries while backfield mate Josh Hayden ended up in negative yardage (-8 yards on four carries). The Langley offence had no trouble moving the ball, putting up 528 total yards. Running back Daniel Xavier was a wrecking ball, cutting through the Chilliwack D for 151 yards on 14 carries. Ram quarterback Greg Bowcott didn’t have to go to the air much, but he was efficient when he did. Bowcott threw 13 times, completing 10 for 276 yards and five touchdowns. Malcolm Williams was a big play target,
catching three balls for 105 yards and three majors. Nick Downey settled for 94 yards and a touchdown on two grabs. Steven Martinez and Michael Patko also reeled in TD tosses, one of them coming from backup quarterback Cecil Belanger. Bowcott did throw one interception, with Tyson Plain committing the theft. Jerr y Sidhu had a forced fumble and Ryan Gallo and MatuetSamuel Buomkuoth both had fumble recoveries. Things don’t get much easier for Chilliwack as they visit Victoria’s Westshore Rebels Sunday. The teams played in week two, with Westshore handing the Huskers a 46-8 loss at Exhibition Stadium. Get BCFC scores, stats and standings at bcjuniorfootball.ca.

Cougars edge Reds to stand as best in the west Chilliwack’s bantam AA baseball Cougars are Western Canadian champions. Donovan Moorman delivered a walk-off double Sunday afternoon, driving in Josh Anderson to give the Cougars a dramatic 6-5 win over Alberta’s Strathmore Reds. Chilliwack claimed the title on a foreign
diamond in Morden, MB, going unbeaten through five games. They started the tournament with an 11-3 win over the Manitoba champion Altona Bisons Friday afternoon. Moorman got the assault started in the second inning, leading off with a single before stealing second base. He advanced to third on a throwing error and came home on a Justin Maunahan double. The Cougars plated four more in the inning, helped by sloppy Bisons
defence and wild Bisons pitching. Chilliwack scored five more in the fifth and carried their bats into their second game, a 10-1 route of the Reds. The game was close until the sixth inning, when the Cougars exploded for six runs. Liam Campbell led off and took first base after getting hit by a pitch. Campbell stole second and watched as Maunahan walked. With runners at first and second, Darrin Lodovica laid down
a sacrifice bunt and reached safely on a throwing error by Reds third baseman Dayne Redland. Campbell and Maunahan both came home to push Chilliwack’s lead to 6-1. The next batter, Dylan Emmons, reached base on a wild pitch and gave way to pinch-runner Shane Rutley. Tony Pharand followed with a double that plated Lodovica and Rutley. Pharand came home on a Tyler Gray single and Collin
Kellington came home later on a wild pitch, wrapping up the adventurous inning and putting the game well out of reach. The Chilliwack bats continued their onslaught in a 6-1 win over their hosts from Morden Saturday afternoon. This one was scoreless through three innings, but the Cougars scored three in the fourth, one in the fifth and two more in the sixth. Anthony Aiello, Moorman and Parker
Sneaking a peek at new look Chiefs Local hockey fans get their first look at the 2012-13 Chilliwack Chiefs, with training camp starting this week at Prospera Centre. Players hit the ice for the first time Monday morning. They’ve been split up into four teams to
play a tournament-style schedule. There are two games Tuesday night, with Team One facing Team Three at 5 p.m. and Team Two taking on Team Four at 7 p.m. Games have three periods of 25 minutes running time.
The results of Tuesday’s games will determine the seeding for Wednesday morning’s semi-finals. Those go at 9 and 11 a.m. The Bronze Medal game will be held at 4 p.m. and the Gold Medal match will be
held at 7 p.m. The players will split into Crimson and Gold teams Thursday morning and play another game Thursday night, with puck drop at 7 p.m. Chiefs info can be found at chilliwackchiefs.net.
Logan held the Morden bats in check with an efficient pitching performance. With a berth in the finals on the line Sunday morning, Chilliwack out-slugged the Saskatchewan champion Estevan Haulers. The Prairie crew led 5-1 through four-anda-half innings. But the Cougars blew the doors off in the bottom of the fifth, plating seven runs. Anderson had the big hit, knocking in Pharand and Devyn Heggs with a two-run
triple. Moorman added a double with Jordan Scherbey (single), Maunahan (single), Lodovica (error), Pharand (single) and Aiello (error) all reaching base as Chilliwack batted around the order. The Cougars added three more in the bottom of the sixth, booking their spot in the gold medal game. Two other players adding large contributions to the title run were Dan Rogers and Alex Leiper.
Trading skates for whistle A former Chilliwack Bruin has moved into the BCHL coaching ranks, joining the staff of the Vernon Vipers.

Robinson spent last season playing CIS hockey at the University of Calgary. Vernon’s head coach is Jason Williamson.

The Scrapper
We, Soprema Inc., intend to submit this amendment application to the Director to amend Permit PA-16129, issued December 21st, 1999 and last amended September 21st, 2004 which authorizes the discharge of air emissions from an asphalt roo¿ng manufacturing facility. 1991 Class A MOTORHOME Mode-34 SI. Ford chasse, 460CID engine SFI, 4 spd, auto. trans (with over drive) Power steering, power brakes, disk brakes on 4 wheels, tilt st. wheel, a/c, cruise, burner range, oven, double sink & many more extras. A must see! Original owner. Under 70,000 miles.
Price $19,950. Henry 604-309-6012
The land upon which the facility is situated and the discharge occurs is in the parcel 024-242-403 Lot 1, District lot 77, Group 2, zoned as “Industrial M3”, located at 44955 and 44943 Yale Road West, within the Municipality of Chilliwack (V2R 4H3). 851
TRUCKS & VANS
The amendment requests that the following conditions be changed from three sources of discharge of air emissions to 5 sources of air emissions resulting from the implementation of a new manufacturing unit of asphaltic panels. The two new sources will be: • The stack discharging manufacturing process exhaust from the new production line after being processed through an odour reduction system to reduce asphalt odours and other contaminants (particulate matter and volatile organic compounds). The discharge rate will be of 5 000 SCFM (average and maximum). The Àow will be continuous for 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. It is expected that after going through the odour treatment stage, the treated air released to the atmosphere will have been ¿ltered from 70% to 80% of its contaminants. • The vent discharging exhaust from the limestone conveyor and silo will be ¿ltered through dust collectors. These ¿lters are certi¿ed 99.9% ef¿cient by the manufacturer on all particulate matter of 0.5+m and higher. The four dust collectors (one on the silo, three on the conveyor) will have an average discharge of 500 SCFM and will be operational for 3 minutes every 5 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year.
