The final curtain for Paramount

■ M ORNING Q UIET

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack council voted 6-1 Tuesday to demolish the old Paramount Theatre building in downtown Chilliwack rather than restore it. They rejected the idea to run it as a not-for-profit theatre by the Friends of the Chilliwack Paramount, citing the lack of sufficient financial backing and insurance coverage. Only Coun. Jason Lum voted against the wrecking ball, saying he would have preferred to direct staff to come up with a business plan for restoration. “I have to disagree with the option of tearing it down,” he said. Accepting the offer to demolish the building from Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation (CEPCO) came this week amid some fierce hope by supporters that the 1949 theatre would be saved. Although city staff recommended that council reject the proposal to save the dilapidated building, it also recommended the city “develop a business plan for the remediation, restoration and long term management of the Paramount Theatre building as a civic facility,” according to the staff report.

Sanborn pleads guilty to ‘regulatory offences’ Robert Freeman The Progress

Friends of the Paramount react to news outside council chambers that the theatre will be demolished.

Crown and defence lawyers are suggesting a six-month suspended sentence for former city planner Grant Sanborn after he pleaded guilty to failure to enforce provincial agricultural and land titles regulations in B.C. Supreme Court Tuesday. Sanborn, 53, pleaded not guilty to criminal breach of trust charges that he was originally charged with.

Madam Justice Miriam Maisonville will deliver her decision Aug. 29 after studying the “comprehensive” joint sentencing submission made by the two lawyers. The proposed sentence includes a term of probation and 160 hours of community work ser vice. Sanborn has also offered to donate $5,000 to Ruth and Naomi’s Mission in Chilliwack. Outside the cour troom, Crown counsel Robin McFee said it was in the public inter-

est to accept Sanborn’s guilty plea to lesser charges, rather than prosecute the criminal charges, to avoid a long, sixweek trial and calling a host of witnesses to events that are now 15 years old. And in the end, he said, “the penalties would have been the same” under the criminal code as the provincial legislation. During his court submission, McFee also suggested that Sanborn was the victim of a “culture of pro-development” at Chilliwack City Hall where

employees were urged to find “creative ways” to work around municipal and provincial rules to boost development. Sanborn was also in a position “of inherent tension and conflict,” he said, because as planning director he was an employee of the city with “a mandate to assist in the expansion of development,” yet he was also the approving officer charged with enforcing provincial legislation.

News Proposed electoral boundary changes raise concerns across riding: MP Robert Freeman The Progress Keeping communities of interest together should be the focus of changing Canada’s federal electoral boundaries, rather than simply meeting population criteria, says Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl. “Certainly an argument could be made that the neighbourhood of Promontory has more in common with the neighbourhood of Garrison Crossing than it does

with 100-mile House,” Strahl said in a news release Monday. Under the proposed changes, Garrison Crossing would be hived from the current Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon riding and added to the Abbotsford-Sumas Riding. 100-Mile House in northern B.C. would be added to the ChilliwackFraser Canyon riding, along with neighbouring Pemberton. Strahl said he’s heard from “constituents all over the riding” who are “concerned with the changes being proposed, from those

who don’t want to see Chilliwack divided, to Pemberton residents wishing to join their neighbours in Whistler.” “I share many of their concerns and I hope the commission will give them all careful consideration,” he said in the news release. Strahl said the federal electoral boundaries commission “seems to have forgotten” the concept of “grouping communities of interest or identity to achieve the goal of effective representation in Parliament.”

Strahl was not immediately available for further comment. No public hearing on the proposed change is scheduled for Chilliwack, but an Abbotsford hearing is scheduled for Sept. 19 at the Ramada Plaza & Conference Centre starting at 7 p.m. After the hearings, the proposed boundary changes go back to the commission and to federal politicians for comment before a final report is made in the spring of 2013. Every 10 years the federal elec-

toral boundaries map is redrawn based on a formula that divides a province’s population by an “electoral quotient” to determine the number of seats it gets in the House of Commons. B.C. would get an additional six seats as a result of the redistribution. The average riding population would be 104,763. Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Vancouver and Kelowna are the fastest-growing regions in B.C. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

‘Rescue exemplifies what’s great about Chilliwack’ mayor tells local hero Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Of the 14 lots put on the market by the Cultus Lake Board in 2008, one has been sold.

Buyer found for one of 14 Cultus Lake lots Jennifer Feinberg The Progress One of the residential lots put up for sale by the Cultus Lake Park Board has been sold. It’s one of a group of 14 lease lots located on Fir Street and Second Avenue, about a block from Main Beach, that are starting to generate some interest. The residential lots were listed with Landmark Realty and one has recently sold, confirmed Cultus Lake Park Board CAO Ron Campbell. “There has definitely been some activity,” he said. The sale details were discussed by

park board commissioners at an in camera meeting, but Campbell said he could not divulge the purchase price. The lots were listed this year, after being off the market since 2009. Asking prices for the re-listed properties are now ranging from $195,000 to $249,000. “If and when the lots sell, the money will go into reserves,” said Campbell. “Then the park board will determine how it will be used.” The funds from lease lot sales can only be spent on capital improvements in Cultus Lake Park, whereas lease revenue goes to offset operating costs in the budget, he added. The 14 lots were surveyed and ser-

viced in 2008 by the park board after being zoned residential, and put up for sale to act as a revenue generating source for capital infrastructure improvements. Some area residents expressed concern at the time about the process and about the rezoning of the property to a residential designation. The first time the lots were listed on MLS, they were going from $250,000 to $400,000 each. But none of the properties sold at the time and were eventually taken off the market.

Local hero Cole Jackson was recognized at city hall Tuesday for putting himself in harm’s way to help a local senior who was in serious trouble. Jackson was taking his daughter to McDonald’s last month when he spotted a man on a scooter stuck on the railroad tracks. A train was coming and the whistle was blowing. He jumped off his bike, got his daughter to safety, and grabbed the man just as the train bore down on them, hitting the edge of the scooter. Mayor Sharon Gaetz offered her thanks and a certificate of recognition for Jackson’s heroic actions. “You saw the gentleman get stuck on the tracks. You heard the train coming and you put yourself in harm’s way to get the scooter out of the path of the oncoming train.” She said she could only imagine the adrenaline rushing through his body at the time. “You exemplify everything that is great about our community,” said Gaetz. “You showed you think more about others than you do yourself, and we didn’t want to let the opportunity go by to say thank you.” When the mayor asked why he did it, Jackson replied: “I was very blessed. The lord must have given me wings.” Gaetz replied that he certainly must have had “angels watching” on that day. The crowd applauded, and Jackson’s children were heard at the back of the room saying proudly, “Yay, daddy!”

Allergies are a modern epidemic I used Bell Allergy Relief #24 for 2 years. I tried numerous other remedies all my life that were not effective.

I don’t have to walk around like a doped zombie anymore. Leonard Waldner, 44, Delia, AB Last 4 years in spring I had allergy attacks with runny nose, sore throat and headaches. Just 2 capsules Bell Allergy Relief #24 brought relief. Belinda Wilfong, 41, Hillsboro, MO For 20 years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed. On 3rd day all allergies were gone. #24 It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH Golfing without allergy attacks I It really works! 100% tried all the medications and none worked.

WRIST PAIN

Bell Carpal Tunnel Syndrome #30 gave quick relief within an hour. I was hand milking cows and began having weakness, numbness and pain shooting up my arms. Pain increased at night. My doctor suggested surgery as the only option. Not true! The pain and numbness are all gone after taking #30. I can do now whatever activity I want.

Seabird Island celebrates success in the classroom Katie Bartel The Progress Seabird Island isn’t looking at the problems sur rounding First Nations education, it’s looking at the successes. And rightfully so. Its adult-education program set record numbers for graduation last year with 58 students walking across the stage, up from 48 graduates the previous year. As well, its enrollment has grown from 20 students in 2008 to more than 200 in the last few years. And those numbers are going to get stronger, said Seabird Island education manager Diane Janzen.

www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309

“We’ve seen a massive increase in enrollment,” largely in part due to “our two-forone approach,” said Janzen. Students can complete their high school graduation while at the same time working towards a trade or other vocation giving them a leg up in the job market post graduation. This year, the institution has expanded its programming and partnerships in hopes of attracting even more students. New courses include certificates in corrections, early childhood education, and aboriginal tourism. As well, Seabird Island has also formed partnerships with Northern Lights College to offer an oil and gas certificate, Nicola Valley Institute of Technology to offer

first year bachelor of social work and bachelor of education courses, and Thompson Rivers University to offer the welder level C/ironworker program, which the school hopes will enable its students to tap into the major ship building contract the province won earlier this year. “We know there’s going to be a million jobs opening up in B.C. over the next 10 years or so and we want our students to be best prepared for getting into that market,” said Janzen.

Passion not enough to save Paramount Theatre PASSION from Front But senior staffer Peter Monteith clarified at the council meeting that the reason why staff recommended creating a business plan for restoration and remediation, was to “outline the only two viable courses of action” the city had, with the other being demolition. Two “request for proposals” were conducted by city officials in the past year to gauge the level of interest, and neither resulted in any compliant applicants coming forth, he said, showing “there is no viable commercial use” for the historic building. But in the end, there was no appetite on council to spend what would amount to “a significant” amount of taxpayer money to save it. Although it could be argued that technically, taxpayer money will be used when CEPCO pays for the demolition, the fact remains that CEPCO is a separately incorporated entity with the City of Chilliwack as its sole shareholder. It’s a question of economics. “The city could put $300,000 or $400,000 into refurbishing the building, but it wouldn’t end there,” said Coun. Ken Huttema after the meeting. He was the councillor who put the motion to demolish on the table, which would cost about the same amount as the repairs. “The Friends of the Paramount group did

all they could to drum up support, and they had every opportunity. But the business plan was not a business plan. They couldn’t turn that passion into dollars,” said Huttema. Coun. Chuck Stam said that he too would have “liked to have dreamed the dream” of saving the Paramount, but couldn’t justify it in the face of the road budget deficit and other areas needing attention. “This is a cold. hard truth,” said Coun. Chuck Stam at the meeting. “It’s absolutely not easy but we need to think big and into the future.” Friends of the Paramount gathered outside council chambers after the meeting, surprised by the decision, tr ying to regroup. Group member Laura Reid was angry and wanted it known that it wasn’t true that their business plan was based on spending taxpayers’ dollars, but rather cash pledges and donations in kind. “I’m shocked,” said group member Candace Brown. Group members had been feeling optimistic given the staff report recommendation. “I’m stunned they made the choice to tear it down,” she said. The group’s proposal was rejected because of lack of financial support from a bank and insurance, but these privileges aren’t afforded to notfor-profit societies, just to property owners. Group member Sam Waddington said he

was very disappointed in the decision. “It means they chose economics over saving our heritage, and our history, which is so important,” he said. “They ignored the biggest outpouring of civic engagement Chilliwack has seen in a long time. I don’t think we’re done.”

But Coun. Huttema said after the meeting that he believes the option of demolition, with the hope of land assembly and eventual redevelopment of the site, is preferable. “We’ve gone beyond new canopies and paint colours,” he said at the meeting. Demolishing the

Paramount represents a “stronger and bolder vision” for a true and lasting revitalization for that part of the downtown core, and it fits in with the Downtown Land Use plan, he said. “It might be a painful step for some, but I would encourage staff and the BIA to look for

some short-term uses for it,” Huttema said. “We don’t want to see another parking lot, except in the shortterm, on the pathway to bigger and better things.” Mayor Sharon Gaetz cited the “sheer economic and the risk factor” in council’s vote for demolition.

“This was a tough one,” she said. “I think the majority of people who came out today were hoping somehow there was going to be a Hail Mary. I want to say a huge thank-you for trying, but it looks like it won’t be working this time.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Campbell said the police investigation at city hall found a â€œculture of pro-developmentâ€? under then-Mayor John Les was widespread and staff witnesses told police that bylaws â€œwere meant to taken as guidelines, not the Bibleâ€? and that developments were approved â€œoften at the expense of bylaws.â€? However, Campbell said there was â€œno suggestion of improper influenceâ€? by the mayor and â€œno evidence to suggest any internal pressure.â€?

In the case of the Longthorn Creek development, Campbell said his client was not the only city staffer involved in the approval as there was a general, but mistaken, belief that in some cases a city bylaw could trump provincial setback regulations. â€œThis was not a case where Mr. Sanborn was acting on his own,â€? Campbell said. He also noted that, at the time, there was ongoing conflict between the city and

News MLAs see challenge with online voting Voting online in B.C. provincial elections is under study at BC Elections. But both Chilliwack MLAs — John Les, the BC Liberal MLA for Chilliwack, and Gwen O’Mahony, NDP MLA for Chilliwack-Hope — have reser vations about the idea for security reasons. Security is also the primar y concern at the BC Civil Liberties Association. “No amount of increase in voter participation can be offset by an insecure system,” said Micheal Vonn, a policy director at the BCCLA. And voting is the hallmark of democracy, she said. Les said he doesn’t believe the technology is in place yet to guarantee a system safe from hackers and inaccuracies that could taint election results. “I think it’s a topic that’s really important to explore,” he said. “But I’m not yet ready to say flat out we

should go ahead.” He agreed online voting could boost voter turn-out by making it easier to vote, “but there’s a lot more

behind the apparent apathy of the public than having to drive to a poll.” Les said he’d want “ironclad” guarantees

the system is safe before he’d feel comfortable with online voting. Continued: VOTING/ p12

Oil debate reframed David Black has reframed the debate on oil that has been raging in B.C., and for that we should all be grateful. Discussions have moved from how a proposed pipeline would hurt this province to a more reasoned debate about how B.C. could enjoy more benefits from Alberta oilsands crude. The owner of this newspaper is, like most people, more than one-dimensional. He is an avid boater, and a lifetime B.C. resident. He loves this province as deeply as anyone. He has listened to the endless debate about the challenges of shipping crude oil to China, and the heated discussions over the Northern Gateway pipeline project. He is fully aware of Enbridge’s public relations disaster in Michigan in 2010, where a pipeline spewed 20,000 barrels of oil into a river for about 17 hours. The clean-up isn’t finished yet. As a successful business person, he is well aware of how business works and how to raise funds. So when he put all these varying factors together, and started asking questions, he came up with a creative idea. If oil is going to be shipped into B.C. via Northern Gateway (and that, as he acknowledges, is a big if), his idea is to create jobs in B.C., and ship refined products to Asia from a new $13 billion Kitimat refinery. This would create a huge number

The Chilliwack

of construction jobs, and thousands of ongoing, well-paid refinery jobs. It would bring far more tax revenue to B.C. It reduces risks from shipping oil — spilled gasoline and diesel fuel won’t pollute the oceans in the same way heavy oil does. Perhaps the most attractive element of his plan is that it ensures that value is added to a Canadian resource in Canada, not elsewhere. The oil industry isn’t excited about the idea, as its thinking is shaped by China’s demand for crude oil. It has little interest in B.C. concerns about the environment or tanker spills. Black is putting his money where his mouth is. He is applying for a provincial permit to build the refinery and is paying the costs of that approval process. However, he acknowledges that the refinery won’t be built without outside financing, and he believes it can be profitable. He says refineries make about 11 per cent on capital, not as much as some aspects of the oil industry, but enough of a return that a project will attract investors. He also says bankers are willing to lend money for such a venture. It’s an ambitious, perhaps even audacious plan. But it is a plan that is worthy of much more discussion. His ideas are well worth considering. ~ Black Press

Time for an investment in B.C.’s forests VICTORIA – The B.C. government’s emergency committee on timber supply has produced its report, but it leaves many of the big questions unanswered. Can the Burns Lake sawmill, destroyed by fire last winter, be given enough timber to rebuild? It’s likely, committee members concluded, if areas that are currently considered “marginally economic” are harvested. With nearly half the pine in that region dead from beetle infestation, and much of the better timber already cut, that means harvesting areas that would produce only about two thirds of the volume that is currently considered economical to log. Will eight more sawmills have to close once the beetle-killed timber becomes too degraded to cut in the next few years? Committee members hold out hope that extending the cut to

less economic timber stands can reduce this impact as well. But with the current cut far above historical levels to maximize beetlekill harvest, some industr y contraction seems inevitable. All this depends on adequate forest inventory and investment in replanting, fertilizing and provision Tom of additional roads FLETCHER and power lines that would allow access to timber and potential bioenergy development. And that is where the political fight lies ahead. The timber supply committee delivered a unanimous report, despite the harsh divisions between the B.C. Liberal and NDP members who serve on it.

NDP forest critic Norm Macdonald, vice chair of the committee, agreed it did good work during the seven months it has toured affected areas of the B.C. Interior. But he said the roots of the problem go back a decade, to when the B.C. Liberals started reducing support for forest health just as the beetle epidemic was spreading. Ten years ago the government removed the obligation for the province to reforest areas affected by disease and fire. This was not only at the peak of the epidemic, it was one year before devastating wildfires raced through the Interior in the summer of 2003. “In 2002, the government removed its obligation to replant those areas, and cut the budget by 90 per cent,” Macdonald told me. “The three-year budget that’s in front of us is keeping on the downward slide, and it’s not what

people in communities are saying is the answer. So that has to change.” The opposition, the auditor general and various forest experts have been blasting the government for the degraded state of the timber inventory, at a time when environmental changes have been sweeping. Steve Thomson, minister of the newly amalgamated forests, lands and natural resource operations ministry, points to the urgent efforts to upgrade the government’s detailed picture of the state of the forests, so it can consider new cutting, planting and fertilizing efforts. But there’s no denying that he came to the job in a crisis that will take more spending in the future, and he will have a hard time finding it as Finance Minister Kevin Falcon looks to balance the books for the 2013 election.

If nothing else, the pine beetle epidemic has forced the B.C. government to consider some of the intensive forest management that we hear about in Scandinavia, one of those places that supplies B.C. with wood furniture. And it has prompted renewed interest in offering new forest tenures to aboriginal communities with unresolved resource claims. Under current law, the government can only direct award new forest tenures to aboriginal communities. So part of the committee’s proposed solution is to “expedite negotiations” with the Burns Lake First Nations to give them a chance to harvest some of the marginally economic forest areas that remain..

Memories of the Paramount Editor’s Note: The following was written by the daughter of former Paramount manger Richard Bellavance two years ago. He’s resubmitting it, following news the theatre will be demolished. There are some places from your childhood that are hard to let go of. Maybe a place where you spent time while you were hurting, or a house you lived in when you were younger that has many memories of you using your imagination to create a castle. But for me, the luckiest girl in the world, I had the Paramount theatre as my castle. My dad was the manager there and my mom, the janitor. I was born in 1996, the same year my dad got the job. Before I was old enough to go to school, I thought it was

normal for every child to have a theatre of their own. But as soon as I entered kindergarten, I discovered that I was the only one I knew. But I was lucky. Almost ever yday after school, my mom would bring me to the theater to play while she cleaned. I would get so excited to play there, a building just waiting to set my imagination running wild. I have always been fascinated by old things, and the Paramount just happened to be the best ancient artifact of my childhood. My dad used to tell ghost stories about previous staff who had worked there and swore they saw the outline of a man in the projector room window late after closing. Just thinking about discovering secrets hidden deep

within this phantasmagoric building would give me a thrill. I have so many memories of dancing and singing on stage to the worship music my parents would play through the speakers while they worked. Sometimes my dad would let me rip the tickets of the customers, or help the staff behind the concession stand. I couldn’t wait until I was fourteen and old enough to work for my dad at the coolest building in town. Well, I did manage to wait, because now I’m fourteen, but unfortunately my dad hasn’t worked there for over three years and there’s no Paramount to work at. When I found out the Paramount was closing down, I was devastated! At first, I was so mad at whoever made the deci-

sion to close it down, I felt for a moment like they were doing it now because they knew I was finally fourteen and they wanted to rip my childhood dream from me. I know that’s not the case, this had nothing to do with me, but it still really hurts. I know I’m going to miss the sound of the people waiting anxiously in line, or the smells of fresh popcorn and moldy carpet. I know there probably wont be another place where I can make fun of my mom for having to scrape away the dry gum from under the seats. But God gives and he also takes away, and if there’s a place in the world I will miss the most, it’s the Paramount Theatre. Mikeila Bellavance, Age 14 (now 16)

and councillor Ken Huttema (who brought the motion forward for the Paramount’s demolition) are on the board for CEPCO. 3. In addition, a city staffer, Peter Monteith and the president of the BIA, Barb Kemp, are both on CEPCO’S board.

4. The Paramount Theatre is made of 60 tonnes of concrete as well as massive steel beams. The estimated cost of demolition is between $200,000 and $400,000. Ask yourself, Is this good use of your tax dollars? L. Reid

Where’s Strahl on ASU support? In response to local ads and editorials pressuring Mark Strahl to oppose his party/government plans to cut jobs at Canadian Forces base Chilliwack: One has to wonder why people are surprised at Mark Strahl’s reluctance to support the people of Chilliwack by opposing his government’s decision to cut the 18 jobs at

the Canadian Forces base. One only has to look at Strahl’s political pedigree: 1. Strahl owes ‘everything’ to his political party: outside of working with his father, Preston Manning and other Reform-Conser vatives as an Ottawa intern, he has never held a job. 2. The riding he now represents was previously his fathers. Mark

Strahl won his party’s nomination (arguably the only real contest, as Reform-Conser vatives have held the seat at least as far back as 1993) in a controversial nomination process, in which the normally four weeks of campaigning, lasted only a week, preventing others the opportunity to enter the contest in any meaningful manner, leaving the post to the

only candidate prepared to run in a short race. This is what we have for political leadership in Chilliwack. If you expect Mark Strahl to advocate for jobs in Chilliwack and oppose his party (and his daddy..ouch) you must belong to the Marijuana Party. (What have you been smoking?) Ron MacDonald

O’Mahony’s concern was also the “reliability” of online voting, given the state of Internet technology today. “We have to do something about increasing voter turn-out,” she said, “but my gut feeling is I’m concerned about the safety of using the Internet.” But the newly elected MLA said she saw the value of online voting in the recent byelection as the NDP provided transportation for single mothers and others living far from voting booths. “It’s a great way for people to participate in the democratic process,” she said, about online voting, “but we need to be wise in how we approach the technology.” Vonn said she doesn’t believe the technology is ready as even electronic identification cards in B.C. have been

“plagued with problems.” “There are so many ways for this to go wrong,” she said. B.C. Attorney General Shirley Bond announced last week that she has asked Elections BC to convene an independent panel to examine the potential for Internet voting. “Many of us have grown accustomed to the convenience the Internet offers and we often rely on it for functions like online banking, shopping and booking travel plans,” she said in an editorial. “This shows the potential Internet voting has to increase accessibility and convenience and reinvigorate democracy in British Columbia,” she said. Bond said the panel will examine “all potential security and privacy concerns” and how they can be addressed before any move is made to implement an online voting system.

new bridge.” He said the transportation ministry wants to avoid anything like California’s multi-day freeway construction closures that have been dubbed Carmageddon. “Phasing more gradually will minimize the impacts to traffic,” he said. Drivers will be given plenty of advance warning of any changes, he said. Logan said drivers won’t experience the full travel time savings until the initial eight lanes of the new bridge are open and electronic tolling begins. It will take another year before all 10 lanes are in service, because the old bridge must be taken down before the last two lanes of the new span can be connected to Highway 1. Transpor tation

have extensive work ahead of them in the months ahead, notably in completing new overpasses at the Cape Horn interchange on the Coquitlam side. “It could be as early as September,” he said. “It’s likely to be the eastbound lanes that are moved first. The details of that and the timing is still being worked out with the contractor.” Logan likens the early lane openings to the traffic pattern changes that have seen exits and on-ramps shift to accommodate work along the 37-kilometre construction corridor. “By shifting some lanes over to the bridge not only does that create some work space for us it also allows us to transition traffic gradually over to the

Minister Blair Lekstrom has said the planned $3 per crossing minimum toll may be lowered for the first year while only eight lanes are open. Tolling details are to be released in early September. Also slated to open in December is the northeastern leg of the South Fraser Perimeter Road, which promises a quick route to and from the Pattullo Bridge for drivers who want a free crossing, although critics predict heavy traffic on other roads in north Surrey, Delta, New Westminster and Burnaby. Still to be determined is how a promised Highway 1 rapid bus service over the new bridge will be launched by cashstrapped TransLink.

If you are planning on going sea kayaking, Transportation Canada has a few suggestions before heading out. Even when enjoyed as an occasional sport, this activity cannot be improvised and requires good preparation.

Guided Excursions

Taking part in a guided tour is a great way to learn the basics of sea kayaking through qualified instructors. Transportation Canada recommends that you do some advance homework about the qualifications of the guide who will accompany you. Before each guided trip, make sure that there is an emergency plan in place, and that the group leader clearly explains what it is. Don’t hesitate to ask questions on the use of mandatory equipment, the waterway’s difficulty level and safety and navigation rules. When the water temperature is lower than 15C, special measures must be put in place (adapted emergency plan,

Before Setting Out

Take time before your trip to learn about the risks of navigating the waters and what is important to ensure your safety. Be aware that you and the person who rented your kayak to you, if that is the case, must comply with Transport Canada’s boating safety regulations. Check the weather forecast before you leave. Wear an approved personal flotation device or lifejacket fitted to your size. You may want to have spare clothing in a watertight

appropriate equipment, etc.) to ensure that all participants are protected from hypothermia and cold-water shock in case of immersion, capsizing or falling overboard.

Maritime Traffic

A sea kayak can be difficult to spot given its small size. Choose bright colours for your lifejacket such as red, yellow or orange, and stay in a group so other boat operators can see you, particularly those at the helm of large vessels. These different measures will enable you to prepare for a safer outing and fully enjoy the sport. For further information, take a look at Transport Canada’s web site: www.boatingsafety. gc.ca

NEW LOCATION! #104-45833 Alexander Ave.

OPEN HOUSE saturday, august 25th 11:00am - 2:00pm

65th

It was the year Jackie Robinson donned a major league uniform, a young Queen Elizabeth married her prince, and the world, still recovering from the devastation of the Second World War, faced the first chill of the coming Cold War. The year was 1947. And while Chilliwack savoured its peace and growing prosperity, Franklin Roblin opened doors to a business that would span generations and make a shrinking world more accessible to business and recreational travellers alike. When Roblin Travel first opened 65 years ago, it was Chilliwack’s telegraph and CN Rail agent. It soon expanded to become the Cunard Steamship agent. And, following the emergence of commercial air travel, Roblin became the ticket agent for Trans Canada Airlines and Canadian Pacific Airlines. Since then, Roblin Travel has grown to be a leader in the travel industry, providing a complete range of travel services that employ all the tools and technology at its disposal. “We’ve gone from telegrams to tweets,” says travel consultant Karen Kennedy with a smile. She would know. Kennedy has been with Roblin for 34 for years. But she’s not the only one with deep roots in the business. Owner Doug Rollheiser is the second generation of Rollheisers to manage Roblin. His father, Paul bought the agency from Franklin Roblin in 1963. It has been in the family ever since. Doug, who took over in 1993, attributes the agency’s success to two things: the people on his team, and the tour operators and businesses Roblin represents. “Our employees always have the needs of our clients first in all their dealings,” he says. “Constant product training and trips to the most popular destinations keep us well informed on hotel and destinations standards.”

Roblin is selective in its travel contacts, too, Doug says. “We represent only proven companies that offer great value for the travel dollar and outstanding customer support.” That experience and depth has helped Roblin weather some admittedly challenging times. With the arrival of online travel bookings, Roblin had to refocus. While retaining online access that surpasses what consumers can see at home, Roblin established itself as a leader in customer satisfaction. “We have concentrated our business to providing a high level of service to our clients to differentiate ourselves,” Doug says. In addition, Roblin has created areas of expertise within the business, providing specialized service in areas like corporate travel, cruise vacations and special interest travel. One popular area, says Karen, is providing ‘destination weddings.’ Roblin Travel has helped co-ordinate travel arrangements for wedding groups from two to 200 people. That attention to detail has also helped it earn industry awards and customer support. Roblin Travel has been an Ensemble Travel top 25 award winner for the past four years, and winner of the Chilliwack Progress Reader’s Choice award for Outstanding Agency in 2011. The company is also committed to the community, supporting numerous local charities, events, sports programs, as well as B.C. Children’s Hospital, and, internationally, Doctors Without Borders. Much has changed since Roblin opened its doors 65 years ago. What remains the same, says Doug, is its commitment to excellence. “When dealing with Roblin travel you are dealing with a company that never loses sight of the fact that our success depends on your satisfaction with your travel experience, from start to finish.”

News

NDP aims to stop Enbridge pipeline Tom Fletcher Black Press NDP leader Adrian Dix has found what he believes is a legal roadblock to the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipeline from Alberta to Kitimat. Dix announced Wednesday that if he becomes B.C. premier next spring, he will withdraw from the federal-provincial review of the pipeline that is currently underway, and launch a “made in B.C.” review of the pipeline. If that doesn’t result in rejection of the project the NDP opposes provincially and federally, Dix said the B.C. cabinet would have the final say.

News NDP to block pipeline NDP from p23 And if Prime Minister Stephen Harper tries to overrule the province, the battle would shift to individual provincial permits required for river crossings and wildlife corridors in B.C., he said. Dix and NDP environment critic Rob Fleming said the B.C. Liberal government’s decision to cede control over environmental assessment to Ottawa, and then present no evidence at the federal hearings, left the province out of the discussion. Premier Christy Clark and Environment Minister Terry Lake have announced pre-conditions of pipeline and tanker safety, and provincial officials are scheduled to cross-examine Enbridge before the federal review panel makes its recommendation to the federal cabinet next year. Dix emphasized that the B.C. cabinet can overrule its own environmental review, just as the federal cabinet can. A provincial review of technical issues would have to be carried out to justify refusing provincial permits, he said. Lawyer Murray Rankin was hired to advise the B.C. NDP. He said the joint review agreement with Ottawa allows B.C. to give 30 days notice and opt out, and the existence of the agreement shows that B.C. does have jurisdiction over whether the pipeline proceeds. Dix said he wants to return B.C. to separate federal and provincial reviews of major projects, like the Prosperity gold mine near Williams Lake, where the B.C. government issued a permit, but the federal review later rejected it and spurred a costly redesign. Dix said he met Tuesday with Black Press chairman David Black, who is backing a refinery at Kitimat to process oil sands crude for shipment by sea. Dix said the idea of refining crude domestically is worth pursuing, but the Kitimat proposal doesn’t change his opposition to the Enbridge plan.

Local country artist Todd Richard is on the new CMT Canada series, Big in a Small Town, on Aug. 23.

Local country artist Todd Richard and his fans are on pins and needles this week. They’re hoping he makes the cut on the brand-new CMT Canada TV series, Big in a Small Town. “I still can’t believe it,” Richard said. “I found out in June that I was chosen as a finalist but I was sworn to secrecy.” He won’t know if he makes it to Toronto for the semi-final showdown until his episode of the show airs Thursday at the earliest. Five finalists from six regions will be sharing their dreams of trying to make it on that show which he shot in the Interior. “It still hasn’t sunk in yet,” Richard said. Richard wasn’t even going to send in a video to the show’s producers, but his wife, Sylvia, convinced him it was worth a shot. “She talked me into it,” he says. He submitted a video of his uplifting and compassionate anthem, Life’s About People, that he wrote with Rick Tippe. Then he was picked as one of 30 finalists from across Canada to appear on the show, Big in a Small Town. “I was totally blown away.” Within three days he was driving up to Penticton, to shoot some scenes for an early segment of the show in Summerland. “They took me up to God’s Mountain for the interview.” He also got to perform his song for the producers. “It was really cool.” The show’s producers liked his back story: a hard-working guy and his wife sell almost everything to fuel his rock-and-roll dream of making it in the country music world as a singer-songwriter, partly to honour his late father’s memory. With his smooth vocals and distinct look, he made it to Nashville, recorded a video, and some songs with some crack session players and has been slogging away ever since with his debut CD, Journey On. A panel of CMT Canada judges winnowed down the contestants in their search for the next big Canadian country artist. The actual winner of the $100,000 prize package gets a recording contract and the chance to present video of the year award at the 2012 CCMAs. Viewers can vote on their favourites at biginasmalltown. cmt.ca starting Aug. 23. The show tagline is “Someone’s life will change.” “I’m staying positive,” Richard said. He’s invited all his fans who have become friends, who he calls “frands,” to a free viewing of the two-hour episode of Big in A Small Town, on Thursday, Aug. 23, 3:30 p.m. in the Canada Conference Room at the Harrison Hot Springs Resort and Spa. RSVP to the event Facebook Page. “We hope to pack the place!” Richard said. If it turns out Richard is ushered through to the next round, he’ll be flown to Toronto on Sept. 6 to compete at a live-to-air performance with the house band. “I’ve got a one in three chance of making it.” The winner gets to present at the CCMAs on Sept 9. Richard already considers the experience a “huge break” in his increasingly busy career. “Things have really been ramping up lately, and it’s been a wild ride for sure, so stay tuned.”

Teacher hits to road to protest legislation Black Press Running 22 marathons in 22 days across B.C. is no easy feat, says North Vancouver teacher Ian Cunliffe, but every mile is worth it if he can bring more attention to Bill 22, the B.C. government’s Education Improvement Act. The bill’s name is misleading because it “slashes funding to the bone” rather than improving education, Cunliffe told Black Press in a phone interview while at a pit-stop in Fernie, on his way to Jaffray, a village 47 kilometres east of Cranbrook, on day two of his grueling 1,000-kilometre run. The North Vancouver elementary teacher and librarian is expected to run through Chilliwack on Aug. 26. With just the second day of 22 completed, Cunliffe knows his muscles will start to give out close to the finish line in Vancouver. “I feel it’s my professional responsibility to tell people the devastating effects Bill 22 will have on our education system,” says Cunliffe as he winds down from his day spent running up and down steep hills in the Kootenay region. While running six hours each day, often in scorching heat through rough terrain, will be challenging, Cunlifffe says it’s an easy price to pay for the kids he teaches. “Private schools have record

numbers on their wait lists, and there’s a reason for this. We have a great public system; what we don’t have is funding. I hope people will realize the public education system needs more.” Cunliffe says his top worries about Bill 22 are that it erases limits on class size, doesn’t guarantee support for special needs students or set a number for how many special needs students are in a class. “[Special needs] students are really neat kids, they’re just great, but they have challenges and need support,” says Cunliffe, overwhelmed with emotion, adding that he has taught many unforgettable children with learning challenges. “Teaching them takes up a lot of my time, and really takes away from the other students.” Before Bill 22 was introduced, a maximum of three special needs students could be in a classroom at a time, says Cunliffe, and class size was reduced by one for each student. But, he adds, the Education Improvement Act does away with this, making students suffer. Another part of Bill 22 — one of the biggest problems in the eyes of the North Van teacher — abolishes the limit placed on the number of students in a class, forcing teachers to handle more kids at one time. “It’s difficult to teach in a way that’s manageable. We’ll end up

Ian Cunliffe, who’s running 22 marathons in 22 days to protest Bill 22, the B.C. government’s Education Improvement Act, will pass through Chilliwack on Aug. 26.

just giving them work books to keep the class in control, which definitely isn’t a good way for kids to learn.” Cunliffe is afraid more parents will start sending their children to private schools, if they can afford it, while others will be forced to put their kids to public schools that “just limp along.”

Literacy is so much more than reading & writing. Literacy touches virtually every aspect of our lives - income, health and quality of life. Just reading the words is not enough to understand a credit card application, medication instruction, or a job application. Good reading skills allow you to think for yourself. And then make up your own mind about what’s best for you and your family. Learning can happen anywhere, anytime. It’s a part of everyday life. Reading a story, playing a game, singing a song, making a shopping list, following a recipe, and connecting with friends on the internet. Chilliwack Community Services believes parents are a child’s ﬁrst and most important teacher. By reading to children and engaging in fun literacy activities, parents keep their own skills sharp while at the same time strengthen the relationship between the family which, in turn, encourages lifelong learning. Our Family Literacy Program builds on each family’s strengths and connections within their culture and community. Memories of early school experiences of feeling overwhelmed, frustrated and fearful can change to feelings of joy, encouragement, and hope.

For much of his teaching career Cunliffe has been frustrated by funding cuts. More than $3 billion has been taken away from the education system in just 10 years, he says, forcing libraries to cut back services and counsellors to be in charge of up to 1,200 students at a time. But Cunliffe, talking on his

phone 1,000 kilometres from home, says something can be done about the problem, and not everyone has to go on a province-wide marathon. “Call your elected officials and let them know how important public education is to you, and that they need to do something about it to get your vote.”

young people increase their resiliency and overall sense of well-being are applicable to any age group. Positive psychologyâ€™s definition of happiness isnâ€™t limited to feeling good, but also includes engagement and meaning. Happy Marie students AMOS make more connections and are more engaged in their learning. A few practices that classrooms and households can implement to increase well-being and resilience are Three Good Things, and Using Signature Strengths in a New Way. Three Good Things involves writing down three good things that happened each day and reflect on them by asking â€œwhy did this good thing happen?â€? â€œWhat does this mean to you?â€? And, â€œhow can you increase the likelihood of having more of this good thing in the future?â€? Signature Strengths (we all have them!) can be identified through an online quiz (wwww.authentichappiness.org). These can be used in exercises for young people to problem-solve focusing on their strengths, and identifying strengths other people may have. Positive education is not a flakey feel-good ideology, but a research and skill-based practice that teaches young people how to accentuate the positive and be academically successful. The research and practice of looking at what works well, what makes us happy, and what helps us thrive, instead of focusing on what isnâ€™t working, is making us unhappy, and fail to thrive is a powerful tool in education. We tend to see what we look for and training ourselves and our young people to see strengths and positive possibilities instead of the opposite can help all of us thrive emotionally and academically.

For example, a competitive hockey player who is five foot ten and two hundred twenty pounds of pure muscle would be classified as obese. In other words, BMI does not differentiate between muscle mass and fat. Waist girth and other measurements, such as the circumference of your chest, arms, hips and thighs can also determine body composition. Women should aim for a waist girth (around the navel) of

A BMI less than 18.5 m/kg2 may pose health risks associated with having too little body fat. 25-29.9 m/kg2 is considered overweight, and more than 30 m/kg2 is considered obese. BMI gives a general idea of what a moderately active person should weigh based on height, and is simple to calculate. However, BMI has

Adipose tissue, more commonly called body fat, is essential for our bodies to function. While some body fat is necessary, having too much body fat poses serious health risks. Carrying excessive weight (fat) increases the risk of diabetes, heart disease, some types of cancer, and premature death. As rates of obesity rise in North America, more focus has been put on determining what constitutes a healthy body fat level. Taking measurements is especially valuable when embarking on a weight loss journey to show

machine looks like a fancy weigh scale. A small electrical signal is passed through the body, carried by water. Body fat percentage is calculated based on the principle that muscle contains more water than fat, and will carry the electrical signal. Ideally, women should be between 14 and 24% body fat. Men should be between 6 and 17%. Measuring percent body fat distinguishes between fat and muscle- something the scale does not do. Two people can weigh the same, but differ in percent body fat. On the down side, percent body fat is often not reliable. For example, skin fold testing relies on the tester’s skill, and assumes that every person’s fat is distributed the same way. BIA readings are affected by eating, being dehydrated or exercising. For health reasons, it is important to achieve and maintain a healthy body weight. BMI, waist girth circumference and percent body fat tests can all determine body composition. For the average person, all of the tests can generalize whether or not you carry a healthy amount of body fat. Do not become fixated on the accuracy of any of the numbers. Instead, focus on how the numbers change, or stay the same, as you incorporate exercise and healthy eating into your lifestyle.

Back to School

SALE!

Many kids get a failing grade on breakfast “Back to School” is another kind of New Year, and Chilliwack kids can benefit from a resolution for a healthier start to the day. New polling from the Heart and Stroke Foundation found that while the majority of Canadian parents recognize what constitutes a healthy breakfast, they face challenges getting their kids to eat one. The biggest challenge cited by parents? Lack of time in the morning is a problem for more than half of families polled (51 per cent), 41 per cent said children just aren’t hungry in the morning and one-third (29 per cent) reported that picky eaters reject healthy breakfast choices. Bottom line: Breakfast doesn’t always get the attention it deserves, and getting kids to change their attitudes about healthy foods can seem like a daunting task. But despite the challenges, a healthy breakfast is a worthwhile commitment. “We know that a healthy breakfast helps children concentrate better in school and makes it easier for them to learn,” says Carol Dombrow, Heart and Stroke Foundation registered dietitian. “We all want to give our kids the

power to be their best and the truth is, breakfast plays a big part.” Fibre, iron and protein are the powerful nutritional trio that make up a healthy and well-rounded breakfast. Dombrow understands the time crunch facing busy families. “But,” she says, “a healthy breakfast can be every bit as quick and easy to prepare as a less nutritious one. It’s all about being creative with your food, knowing your child and thinking a little bit like a kid.” According to the poll, the most popular breakfast food is cold cereal. “That may be the easiest default breakfast, but not all breakfast cereals are created equal. You need to take a close look at the nutrition panel on the back of the box to know what is inside the box to make a healthy choice,” says Dombrow. “And with a little prep work and thought you can turn your children into breakfast champions - it might even get them jumping out of bed in the morning!” Dombrow suggests some easy ways to put a healthy breakfast on the podium. A few nutritious, kid-friendly options: • Put a face on your bowl of oat-

meal with raisins and almonds. • Dip whole wheat toast sticks into a soft-boiled egg. • Melt lower fat cheese on an English muffin and serve with apple slices. • Make a fruit smoothie; make sure you use 100 per cent fruit juice, lower-fat yogurt and plenty of fruit. Getting your kids’ buy-in for the morning meal: • Involve them in menu planning; let them create the week’s breakfast plan by picking from a list of healthy options. • Let your child operate the blender when you make a smoothie. • Include at least three of the food groups in the breakfast meal - let your child pick the day’s groups. • Empower your child to make breakfast for the whole family you may need to get up a few minutes earlier, but the trade-off has excellent results. “Parents joining in on the healthy breakfast is another real kid-pleaser,” says Dombrow. “You are an important role model; if you aren’t taking the time and making the effort to have a healthy start to the day, why should they?” To learn more visit: heartandstroke.ca/healthykids.

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”.

Chilliwack Board of Education

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.

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.

BBB advises to do your homework when back-to-school shopping School is just around the corner and students are rushing to take advantage of back-to-school deals on everything from computers to clothing. Better Business Bureau (BBB) has some back-to-school basics to keep in mind. “Whether shopping for new clothes, pens and pencils, or electronic items it’s important to be prepared and have a plan,” says Danielle Primrose, President and CEO for the BBB serving Mainland British Columbia. “It will keep you on budget, save you money, and avoid getting stuck with an item you don’t want.” The 2012 Huntington Backpack Index estimates that back-to-school costs for students in kindergarten through high school are expected to increase by as much as six percent this year. A child in elementary school could cost a parent up to $548 in shopping costs. Consumers need to sharpen their own pencils and take out their calculators to factor in whether they are getting a good deal. BBB has these tips to help you be a savvy backto-school shopper: Plan ahead. Set a real-

istic budget and stick to it. First check what you have from last year’s supplies which could be re-used, then make a list of the items you need to purchase to avoid buying on impulse. Be sure to check with your child’s school for a list of required to avoid return trips. Ask about returns and refunds. Shopping for new clothes, accessories, and electronics is one of the highlights of going back to school. Ask the store about their return policy and always keep the receipts. In B.C., stores are not legally required to exchange an item or give a refund. Ask about restocking fees. Some merchants charge a restocking or “open box” fee – sometimes as high as 20 per cent of the original cost – for returns of electronics products or large-ticket items. Ask if that is the policy so that you know before you buy. Shop smart online. Find out the physical location and phone number of the merchant. Read the refund and return policy, have in writing any warranty or guarantee details, be familiar with delivery/shipping costs and

time schedules, feel comfortable that the merchant is reliable and not the subject of consumer complaints, and be able to trust that any information you submit to complete the sale transaction (credit card number, etc.) will be treated with the proper care. Know the true cost of what you are purchasing. You might be moving out for the first time and buying new furniture. If you are buying an item on credit, make sure you are aware of not only the interest rate being charged, but any additional fees and costs associated with purchasing on credit including late payment charges. If you engage in cross-border shopping, factor in the cost of gas, duty taxes, and any other additional costs associated with getting your goods back home. Lastly, check out a company’s rating with the BBB at www.mbc.bbb.org.

Hemochromatosis - Canadaâ€™s Most Common Genetic Disorder

Are you planning your retirement?

Supporting Families Hereditary Hemochromatosis (HHC) is the most common genetic disorder affecting Canadians. It is a crippling, potentially fatal condition caused by a defect of iron metabolism that leads to iron overload in vital organs, joints and tissues.

Selecting the right Realtor in today’s market is a very important part of the buying or selling process. My business philosophy has always centered around building long term relationships with my clients. I’ve been in the real estate profession in Chilliwack and District since 1991. That kind of experience works for you because intimate market knowledge is key. A large percentage of my business comes from folks who have come back time and time again or referred family and friends to me. Ensuring the home buying or selling process is as simple and straight forward as possible for you is a priority. You can be assured I’m with you every step of the way. You need the right Realtor for the same reason you need the right Doctor, Lawyer or Accountant. As a team we’ll work through the buying or selling process together to make sure all your questions or concerns are answered along the way.

Representing you in any real estate transaction, you can be assured that I will work hard and keep your best interests the #1 priority. If you are selling, you will get the maximum exposure needed to market your home effectively, and if you are purchasing I will listen to your needs and help you ﬁnd the perfect place to call home. I believe that the qualities of a good real estate agent are honesty, integrity and a strong work ethic. My name is Steve Mainse and I will take great pride in representing you.

recreational facilities. It helps to know how Realtors work in order to understand the advantages of working with a real estate professional. Realtors begin by asking questions about your preferences and financial qualifications, and then show you the homes in your price range that meet your criteria. As new listings come on the market, they get their buyers into them as quickly as possible. In any market, the best homes move quickly. While any sale can potentially become complicated and difficult, problems seem to work themselves out more easily if you have started out on a positive note. This is one important reason why Realtors work hard to maintain a good rapport between the parties involved in every transaction. When you find a Realtor with whom you feel comfortable, work exclusively with that person. Your loyalty will give the Realtor great incentive to create the perfect match between you and a new house.

For many people, their home is their biggest asset and their prized possession. When it comes time to buy that ﬁrst home, or sell your current home and upgrade, why trust someone that doesn’t have intimate knowledge of the area and local market? Having been born and raised in Chilliwack, knowing the community and various neighbourhoods comes as second nature to me. With an extensive background in Personal and Commercial Insurance Sales and Marketing, I know what it takes to market products to the right people to achieve a quick sale and for top dollar. I love working with people and seeing my clients meet their Real Estate Goals is my main focus! When Buying or Selling Property, you need an honest, hardworking REALTOR that you can count on to be there for you and to devote the time to ensure that you are totally satisﬁed before, during and after your transaction. I am that REALTOR; and I welcome your calls.

Serious house hunting can leave you worn out and confused at the end of the day. It is hard to remember which house had the great back yard and kitchen and which one you ruled out because of inadequate storage space. Some of the houses you visited looked familiar – like maybe you had seen them before. How can you conserve energy and keep it all straight? The first step is to find a Realtor who knows the area well and will only show you homes that meet your criteria. Next you should invest in a small note pad in order to keep a record of the homes you visit. Note the address, style and exterior color, as well as something distinctive about the house that will trigger your memory. Make a special note if a house has real possibilities. Jot down important pluses and minuses of each property and share this information with your Realtor. This will help you to narrow down the houses so that you can focus on your favorites. If you have been house-hunting on your own, you may have been relying on the real estate ads or driving through your favorite neighborhoods in search of “For Sale” signs. A good Realtor can save you time and gasoline by making your search easier and more efficient. Realtors learn about homes as they go on the market, and the best values may sell before they are ever advertised! A Realtor who has seen the homes available in the area can save you time and effort. By using the Multiple Listing Service, a Realtor can show you his or her company’s listings, as well as those of other firms. The Realtor can also give you any information you need about nearby public transportation, schools, shopping, and

Hello, my name is Corny Woelders, I am one of the proud owners of Landmark Realty Chilliwack. I am married and have two great kids. I grew up in Chilliwack and graduated from C.S.S.S. (a long time ago) and then moved to Abbotsford where I met my wife of 23 years. I predominately worked in the poultry and dairy industry and also ran our own Poultry Farm. I became a Realtor® a number of years ago and worked out of the Landmark Abbotsford ofﬁce. However, I found myself selling a lot of homes in Chilliwack for friends and family, so when a Landmark franchise came available, my partners and I knew that Chilliwack was the place to go. Today’s low interest rates, plus low prices, plus high inventory, equals the perfect buyers market. So come on in and visit our ofﬁce and I will help you with all your real estate needs.

Surrounded by flailing arms and legs, they swim 1,612 metres through oft-choppy waters to the first buoy, veer right for another 450m and then swim another 1,800m back to shore. The fastest competitors can cover the 3.8 kilometres in just under an hour. The slowest take more than two hours. Toth clocked in at 58 minutes and 29 seconds last year, the 21st fastest time in a field of 2,832. Not bad for a guy who only learned to swim in 2004. “Prior to that, I couldn’t even get across the pool,” he laughs. “I can’t win in the swim, but I can lose in the swim.” From the lake, competitors race through a transition area, ditching wetsuits for bike gear. Then they’re off on the second leg of this gruelling race, a 180 kilometre ride that takes them through Okanagan Falls, Oliver, Osoyoos and Keremeos before returning to Penticton. The first part of the bike course is relatively easy, but things get rough once they reach Richter’s Pass. Over the next 11 kilometres, riders gain 2,295 feet in elevation to the summit. After that, it’s a series of hills and another climb to the summit at Twin Lakes. This middle stage is where many an Ironman race is won or lost. This is where it ended for Toth last year. Normally, the bike stage is his strongest. In 2010, Toth had the eighth fastest time, covering the course in 4:47:46. That was nine minutes and 10 seconds off the pace set by the leader, Christian Brader.

It was too large a gap to overcome. Toth is a good runner, but by the time he or anyone else finishes the swim and bike, there’s only so much they can do on the final stage. The running course is 42 kilometres, along the scenic shores of Skaha Lake to Okanagan Falls, then back to the finish line. It’s nice, Toth says, because it’s mostly flat or downhill. Some athletes get their second wind as they head out, knowing the race is almost at an end. Some athletes find it too much to bear. Watching then arrive at the finish line can be shocking. Even finely tuned ath-

letes like Toth are rubberlegged messes at the end, some delirious due to dehydration. Vomiting is common. Did we mention? Late August temperatures in Penticton can reach the mid to high 30s (it was 35 last year). “It dehydrates you quick, and if you’re going too hard and not hydrating, you’ll just be losing strength and getting slower the entire time,” Toth said. “Training in it and living in it helps people deal better with it, but the effect on the body is the same for everyone. If you don’t hydrate properly, sooner or later, it will hit you.” If all of this sounds horribly sadistic and incompre-

hensible, you’re not alone. Your friendly neighborhood sports reporter covered three of these for the Penticton Western News and was left with the same impression each time. Why do these people do it? And yet, Toth and others will say there is a reward in testing yourself in such harsh conditions, emerging stronger mentally, if not physically, for the experience. “The human body is meant for movement, and once you start moving, it feels good,” Toth says with a smile. “I’ve had races that were hard and I’ve stood at the finish line and said, ‘I’m not racing again.’ And the

next day, I’m signing up. It’s an addictive activity.” Toth has done enough of these now to be called a veteran. In 2005, his first Ironman Canada, he won his age group as a 24-year-old. But since joining the pro ranks in 2008, he’s never finished higher than ninth overall (which he did in 2009). And so, heading into the 2012 race on Sunday, he is a veteran with expectations. Toth is no longer happy with a top-10 finish. This year, it’s all about top spot. “Every time I’ve raced with purpose, I’ve done well,” he says. “It becomes very mental after about four hours, and if I just show up hoping for a personal best, focus becomes an issue.” Toth has tailored a training regimen that he hopes will pay off. To maximize its benefits, the 31-year-old has made some major life changes. He’s stopped working as a trainer and coach in Vancouver, freeing up enough hours to get more training and more rest. Though he gets sponsorship help from SierraSil mineral supplements, the Adelphia Group, the SpeedTheor y Triathlon Shop and Blueseventy wetsuits, cutting work hours still carries obvious financial implications. “It’s the kind of sport where you’ve got to give up a little comfort to become good,” he explains. “No one becomes good holding on to the comfort of a safe life.” Where training is concerned, Toth has evolved over the last six years. In 2005, he pushed himself hard in every workout, looking for as much intensity as he could handle. Over time he’s adopted a more scientific approach. His workouts would still leave most people gasping for air and sore for a week, but he classifies them as moderate. Instead of doing 20 hours a week of uber-intense work, he does 32 hours of moderate work. Recognizing his weakness, Toth has put particular

emphasis on swimming. “Being a cross-country runner and basketball player in high school, running is more natural for me,” he says. “With swimming, my intervals (the clock) tells me I’m better than I was, but the real test will be sticking with the lead pack on race day. I can’t let them pull away from me.” Toth has evolved on the mental side as well. He has become a student of the game, studying tactics and his opponents in search of an advantage. One thing he’s learned over time is that he greatly prefers being the hunter as opposed to the hunted. “Passing people is the greatest feeling in triathlon, it gives you a big boost to see someone and go after them,” he says. “Going hard at the start only to find yourself getting passed repeatedly is very mentally defeating.” Striking the balance between aggressive and passive is the trick. Toth can’t let a rival get too far in front of him, lest he can’t catch him. At the same time, burning himself out trying to keep up may be a bad idea. “My game plan is always to not be up front at the start, pick it up in the last 40 or 50km of the bike and then the run,” he says. “If you start too early, your body won’t last, but most people know, once you hit Keremeos it’s time to start working harder.” There is a chance that Toth will execute his plan and still fall short. He knows he’s prepared to the best of his ability. But will it be enough? “Everything you do in training accounts for 90 per cent of your result, and the guys who win did all the work beforehand,” he says. “If I post a great time and someone beats me, I’ll have to be satisfied. But I know I’m well ahead of where I’ve been in the past. I expect to win this race.” Get Ironman info online at ironman.ca Get Toth’s personal training website at anthonytoth. ca.

Sports been selling tickets at Party in the Park all summer, and volunteers are needed for other community events. CFC is setting up at all Chilliwack Chiefs games plus the upcoming BCHL Showcase (Sept. 7-9 at Prospera Centre). They hope to set up tables at both the Cottonwood and Chilliwack Malls, and the Agassiz Fair is on the radar.

The raffle draw date is Oct. 27. Chilliwack FC has over 2000 members, and at five tickets sold per member, the organization would reach its goal of $100,000. Money raised is earmarked to the artificial turfing project at Exhibition Stadium. The City of Chilliwack is converting the main field to turf, but not the training space that lies behind the north goal.

The City approached user groups for financial help. CFC uses that space extensively, and considers it worthwhile to chip in. The raffle is an alternate to raising registration fees. Anyone interested in volunteering can contact CFC president Andrea Laycock by email at soccer-coach88@shaw.ca. or Liz at chilliwackfcinfo@gmail.com

Own your 40 seconds

Grizzlies hit gridiron for fall camp

Remaining completely focused for 40 seconds is much more reasonable than four or five hours, writes Jennifer Greggain Remaining focused for 18 holes of golf can be difficult. Many players become distracted, which can cost them valuable strokes. Here are a few tips to help keep your head in the game for your entire round. To remain completely focused for four or five hours (the average playing time of 18 holes) is nearly impossible. Great players are able to relax between shots, then return to the ‘zone’ and completely focus their thoughts on their next shot. I call this ‘owning your 40 seconds.’ It takes about that long to execute a shot. Remaining completely focused for 40 seconds per shot is much more reasonable than four or five hours. It’s important to let your mind take a break between shots, like thinking about things other than golf while you’re walking to your next shot. Some players use this time to chat with their playing partners, for example. But when it’s your turn to hit, you must be able to return to your zone of complete focus. But ‘owning your 40 seconds’ is not just about focusing during your shot. It’s also about taking control of the tee box during your 40 seconds. This 40 seconds is yours, so don’t let anything (or anyone) take it from you. Does it bother you when you are paired with players you don’t know, or having others watching you tee off on the first hole? What if the group in front of you is slow and won’t let you play through? Or if you just took a high score on your last hole? And what if that slice that you’ve been working to eliminate works its way back into your game? Believe it or not, these are all things that are ‘not in your control’ during your round. Ultimately, where the ball ends up is also not in your direct control. You could hit a perfect shot, exactly as you were intending, only to find that it takes a bad bounce and ends up in a bad position. So why do we worry about things that are not in our control? Do you think that by wasting your energy on worrying about these uncontrollable variables, you will hit a better golf shot? I would argue that it would hinder you, yet golfers are plagued by these distractions all the time! To successfully block out these distractions, you must take control of your time during your shot and own your 40 seconds. There are many things that are not in your control. However, one thing that is definitely in your control is how you think through the shot. Focus on the process of hitting the upcoming shot. And don’t worry about the things that are not in your control. That’s the best piece of advice that I can ever give, and that counts for both on and off the golf course! Jennifer teaches golf to adults and juniors at the Chilliwack Golf Academy. She played professionally on tour for over 10 years, including 2 years on the LPGA. She was also named the 2010 CN Canadian Women’s Tour Low Teaching Pro of the Year. She can be contacted at 604-7989805, or at Jennifer@chilliwackgolf.com

The GW Graham Grizzlies will be kicking off both Grade 8 and Junior Varsity (Grades 9-10) football this September, making it the first high school

football program in Chilliwack since the Sardis Falcons folded in the early 1980s. The Grizzlies will add Varsity (Grades 11-12) next September. The Grizzlies current 55 player JV roster is participating in an eightday fall training camp, from 7:30 am to 1 p.m. daily at the school. The Grizzlies kick off the JV season in Colton, OR, next Saturday with a game against the Colton Vikings.

Leading the Grizzlies offense will be quarterback Kirkland Kennedy and running back Ryan Connelly, both veterans of Chilliwack Giants minor football program. On defence, the Grizzlies will be led by linebacker Cyrus Tommy, safety Tristan Davis and rookie cornerback Austin Creasy. “We are excited about our team and our prospects in this first season,” said head coach Laurie Smith. “We are

looking to be competitive from day one and we are very pleased with the buy-in from our players and coaching staff.” Interestingly, the Grizzlies are already ranked third in the Eastern conference in the BC High School football pre-season rankings. “Its hard to determine on what basis they rank us that high, but I guess we will take it as a compliment,” Smith

said with a grin. The Grizzlies defeated the Langley Saints and Abbotsford Collegiate Panthers in spring pre-season play and tied the East Lake Wolves (Seattle) in a summer exhibition. GWG’s first home game is Thursday September 27 at 6 p.m. at Exhibition Stadium, taking on Abbotsford’s Rober t Bateman Timberwolves. See grahamfootball. ca for more.

Vikings score late to vanquish Cascades The University of Western Washington Vikings defeated the UFV Cascades 1-0 in an exhibition women’s soccer match on Tuesday. The game was played in Bellingham, WA. UFV’s preseason record now stands at 2-3-1 with two matches left before the home opener. The Cascades host Mount Royal University Sept. 7 at Exhibition Stadium in

Chilliwack. Tuesday’s match was evenly played and tied at the half. WWU scored the game’s lone goal in the 79th minute to earn the victory. UFV’s veteran goalkeeper, Chantelle Biagioni (Pitt Meadows), played the first 70 minutes. Rookie Kayla Klim (Burnaby) played the final 20 minutes. “We closed our opponents down very well tonight, we

were aggressive in our tackles and at times we showed composure in linking passes together,” said UFV coach Rob Giesbrecht. “Western Washington is an excellent team, they are well coached, very athletic and it’s always an intense physical battle when we play them. Individually, Giesbrecht was impressed with the performance of Biagioni and midfielder Chelsea Steffen.

“Samantha Ricker played her best game in a Cascade uniform,” he added. “And It was nice having Carly Neeson back in the line-up, as we’ve missed her attacking mentality.” UFV hosts Simon Fraser University Saturday night at Exhibition Stadium as part of the annual Chilliwack Soccer Association summer tournament. Match time is set for 7:30 p.m.

Although there have been main course salads for many years, the Cobb Salad and the Caesar salad were the first commonly served and widely known main course salads, both in restaurants and for home entertaining. Up until that time (the 1920s and 1930s) salads were more commonly served as side dishes composed of greens with a simple dressing of salt and vinegar and oil.

Survived by her ﬁve children: Patricia (Norm), Lori (Joe), Austin, Fred, Rick (Holly); and numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nephews, nieces, as well as her brother Don (Bonnie). She will be sadly missed by all those who knew her. A memorial tea will be held Saturday, August 25, at 11:00 am at Bradner Hall, 5305 Bradner Road, Abbotsford.

JOINER Richard Gwyn

March 6, 1945 - Aug. 18, 2012 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Gwyn at Nanaimo ReJOINER gional Hospital due to complications from Pulmonary Fibrosis at the age of 67. Gwyn will be greatly missed by his wife Diane, of 39 years; son, Neil (Jess); daughter, Debbie Frose (Rob); grandchildren: Aly, Chelsea and Holden Frose, Alara Joiner and Jesse’s children, Mikayla, Hayden and Jordan; brother Lawrence (Joan); brother-in-law, Doug Bishop (Meredith); sister-inlaw, Debbie Stevenson; many nieces and nephews as well as all his ﬁshing and hunting buddies. He was predeceased by his sister Ethel Massie; brother-inlaw, Keith; mother and fatherin-law, Al and Ethel Bishop. Born in Mission, BC to the late Charlie and Amy Joiner, he moved to Chilliwack with his family in 1946 where his parents started C&A Mink Ranch, and resided there for the rest of his life. Gwyn and his brother Lawrence took over the family farm when

their parents retired. When Gwyn retired from mink farming he and Diane started a veggie stand. In 2008, he finally retired and purchased land and built his dream fishing cottage in Winter Harbour, BC. Gwyn’s great joy was in his grandchildren and teaching them to fish. He loved the outdoors and his two passions were fishing and hunting which he was able to enjoy right up to his last week. He was an honorary life member and past president of the Chilliwack Fish and Game Protective Association and an active member of the executive. Gwyn participated in many fish and wildlife enhancement activities and served on the board of directors of the Fraser Valley Salmon Society. Friends and family are invited to a celebration of Gwyn’s life to be held Saturday, September 15 at 1:00pm at the Best Western Hotel, Chilliwack. In lieu of flowers, donations in Gwyn’s memory may be made to the Lung Association, BC Wildlife Federation or the Chilliwack Fish and Game Protective Association.
