No access to lands without consent: Kinder Morgan Alina Konevski The Progress

The Fraser Valley Regional District has confirmed that although it voluntarily approved a corridor study for the Trans Mountain Pipeline expansion project in the Cheam Lake Wetlands Regional Park, FVRD has not taken an official position with respect to Kinder Morgan’s potential pipeline twinning.

“The Board’s authorization to allow access onto the three parcels in question is not any indication of whether the Board endorses the project — that has yet to be determined,” wrote FVRD actingChief Administrative Officer Suzanne Gresham in an email.

The board will have that discussion “in due course.”

Kinder Morgan is surveying parts of the Cheam Lake Wetlands in preparation for their application to the National Energy Board.

“The balance of Cheam Lake Regional Park is not being impacted by this proposed corridor study,” wrote Gresham.

FVRD confirmed that the federal government “provides the authority for Kinder Morgan to access lands for purposes of undertaking survey work.”

However, Kinder Morgan Canada has confirmed that it would prefer to obtain voluntary consent, and the company has not had to resort to using the NEB Act trump card.

“Although the NEB Act provides the authority to access any land for our surveys, we have not used that authority, but instead our objective is to work cooperatively with land owners, locals governments, municipalities and stakeholders on all aspects of the project,” wrote Carey Johannesson for Kinder Morgan Canada in an email.

The NEB Act, under Section 73, legislates that a private company may enter any Crown or private land “lying in the intended route of its pipeline, and make surveys, examinations or other necessary

Boxes help protect at-risk species of bats Jenna Hauck The Progress

A group of young naturalists are helping several species of bats after building special boxes for nursing female bats and their babies, known as pups.

Of the 10 species of bats in the Fraser Valley, half of them are at risk of being endangered, and one, the little brown myotis (also known as the little brown bat), is federally listed as endangered due to a fatal fungal disease called white nose syndrome.

The Eastern Fraser Valley Young Naturalists Club (EFVYNC), along with volunteer leader Cynthia Berg, are helping to save the small creatures — the only true flying

mammal in the world.

Coincidentally, the local initiative to help save our bats comes at the same time as a federal one.

With an announcement Friday from the federal government stating that Environment Canada is giving $330,000 in funding over the next four years to a wildlife health centre in Saskatchewan to study and monitor white nose syndrome, Berg says “we are really on the right track here.”

The funding comes in addition to an initial $50,000 awarded earlier this year to the same centre, the Canadian Cooperative Wildlife Health Centre at the University of Saskatchewan.

“We take our role in protecting and conserving species in

Canada very seriously,” said environment minister Peter Kent in a press release. “By providing for national coordination of Canada’s response to the disease, we will be able to maximize the contributions of our provincial, territorial and private sector partners, as well as ensure consistency in our approach.”

“I think it’s great that we are on top of this and that there will be some funding. It’s absolutely fabulous,” says Berg.

White nose syndrome is quickly spreading to Canada and killing hibernating bats. The disease stays dormant in bats during warmer months, and when the temperature drops while hibernating, the fungus grows.

The disease causes infected bats

to rouse frequently and early during hibernation and they essentially starve since they cannot find their diet of insects during the cold winter months.

After building seven bat boxes in February — making sure the screws were well-tightened, the sides all lined up, and the edges sealed — the kids with EFVYNC finally got to see their little bat houses installed on Saturday.

The entire process was, undoubtedly, a community effort.

About 25 members of the EFVYNC gathered on a sunny, but cool, Saturday in mid-winter to build the shelters for bats.

Eulachon allocation rankles Sto:lo leaders Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Eulachon are starting to enter the Fraser River now, returning to natal streams from the ocean to spawn.

The eulachon is a tiny fish, a type of smelt known for swimming up the river in a huge, shimmering biomass each spring.

The eulachon have always been special to the Sto:lo, said Ken Malloway, chair of the Lower Fraser Fisheries Alliance, and a Sto:lo fisherman.

Sometimes spelled oolichan, or ooligan, they are also known as candlefish on the Pacific Coast, due to their high oil content when ready to spawn. In some parts of the province eulachon were rendered into grease and traded along the Grease Trail.

Decades ago, a Sto:lo man used to live atop Chilliwack mountain whose function it was to alert everyone when the tiny fish would enter the river system, said Malloway.

The eulachon often showed up just as winter food stores ran out and runners would bring the message to various Sto:lo villages.

“Everyone would go fishing for eulachons,” Malloway said.

“They’d fill their canoes in just an hour and then they would smoke them, and also have a feast of fresh ones.”

It used to be such a large biomass, that it would be followed closely up the river by seals and sea lions, and then killer whales would also head up the Fraser after the seals.

The Sto:lo call the fish, sweswa, which literally means bands of silver, Malloway said. That’s what the fish looked like in the water when they hit the Chilliwack part of the river system — two bands of silver.

But not anymore, as numbers have dropped off dramatically.

“We haven’t seen that for 30 or 40 years,” said Malloway, adding that he hasn’t fished for eulachon for years since they started to die off.

Sto:lo Tribal Council president Clarence Pennier said DFO limited 30 First Nations on the Lower Fraser River, with a combined population of 10,000 people, to a catch of only 400 pounds of eulachon last year, he said.

“We didn’t fail to notice that DFO allowed the commercial shrimp trawl fleet to take up to eight tonnes of eulachon as bycatch.”

The problem is that the trawl fleet has no market for eulachon.

Eulachon taken as by-catch are simply chucked overboard, and only part of the catch is monitored.

“This is a highly wasteful and morally repugnant practice and

it must be stopped immediately,” Pennier wrote.

The Fraser River eulachon was designated as threatened by COSEWIC but has not been listed as endangered under the Species At Risk Act. Historically the bulk of the eulachon interception in the shrimp trawl fishery occurred in waters off the west coast of Vancouver Island and in Queen Charlotte Sound, according to DFO media spokesperson Leri Davies.

“Management measures have been implemented to reduce the eulachon by-catch over the past decade,” she wrote in a emailed response.

“These measures include closures of areas of concern, for example, Queen Charlotte Strait has been closed to shrimp trawl fishing since 1999 because of concerns over eulachon bycatch. Other actions in the shrimp fishery include the introduction of By-catch Reduction Devices.With the implementation of the grids and the reduction in boats participating the impact on eulachon has decreased dramatically.”

Eulachon by-catch in shrimp trawl fisheries off Vancouver Island has dropped significantly from an estimated 65 tonnes in 2000, to less than half a tonne since 2006.

“The Government of Canada is considering listing two populations of eulachon under the Species at Risk Act: the Central Pacific Coast eulachon population as Endangered; and the Fraser River eulachon population as Endangered,” said Davies.

DFO officials have told Sto:lo their fishery will be limited 800 pounds of eulachon this year.

“This is unacceptable constraint on our fishermen in light of the on-going trashing of this species by the shrimp trawl fleet and the fact that more than 120 tonnes of eulachon is expected this season,” wrote Pennier in a letter dated April 4.

Malloway called it “a slap in the face,” and said he doesn’t see why First Nations couldn’t be given the eulachon bycatch.

The tribal council is asking DFO to “sharply curtail” the impacts of the shrimp trawl fishery and clamp down on the sport fishery take of eulachon as bait for the Sturgeon sport fishery, as contained in an April 4 letter to regional director general of DFO. “We insist that our rights to a fishery for eulachon be respected and that DFO work with our communities to come up with a more acceptable fishing plan for eulachon in 2013,” concluded Pennier. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Little brown bats top the list for falling prey to fatal disease BAT BOXES from Front project with Berg and spoke with the children about bats. J. David Lush created the prototype and taught the kids how to build the boxes.

The tools and facility used to make the boxes were supplied by LSC Pre-Cast Systems, and the materials were funded in part by a Shell Stewardship grant.

Finally, the outdoor installation of the boxes this past weekend was completed by Metro Power.

Three of the seven bat boxes now stand tall, each atop a 20-foot decommissioned hydro pole, in a wide open field at the Camp River Wilderness Area located near Camp River and Kitchen roads. Trees border the edges and the grass in the field is calf-high. Hope Slough hugs the west side of the land.

The bat boxes are spread out in a large triangle. Far enough away from the tall trees, they will get full and direct sunlight throughout the entire day.

This is key to their success.

“They have to be in warm regions, and in the open, so the sun can keep the boxes at a certain temperature,” says Berg, who is also a member of the Chilliwack Field Naturalists.

Though fairly small at about three-feet high, and nine inches wide and deep, the bat boxes are important in helping the bats survive and reproduce. The boxes provide a safe, warm place for the mothers to rear their pups.

Surprisingly each box can hold up to 300 nursing female bats and their babies. When their wings are tucked in, and they’re all curled up, the bats are about

two-inches tall. They huddle together for warmth and cling to the rough inside edges of the boxes to keep from falling out.

The mothers take turns ‘babysitting’ each others pups inside the bat boxes as others head out throughout the night in search of food. The males and non-nursing females live in a nearby colony.

In addition to these bat boxes, four more will be installed in the near future at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve.

The Chilliwack Field Naturalists, including Berg and Knopp, will be maintaining and keeping an eye on all of the bat boxes.

Despite what some people may think, bats are not vicious, nor do they all have rabies.

And, there are only three vampire bat species in the world which can only be found in South America.

“People should never be afraid of being attacked by bats.

They’re very shy creatures. They’re going to avoid you and they’re essentially harmless,” says Berg.

All of the bats here in B.C. are insectivores, they don’t even eat fruit. In fact, bats are a great benefit to our agriculture areas, adds Berg. Bats eat harmful insect that can disturb crops, plus they have a tremendous effect on controlling the mosquito population.

Unfortunately, the number of bats is rapidly declining in our area and it’s a result of pesticide and herb use, human interference, removal of trees, loss of habitat, and diseases like the white nose syndrome.

Everyone who helped with the bat box project hopes it will increase the the local bat populaOPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK

News The bat facts: •bats eat 500-800 insects every hour when feeding (mostly at dusk and dawn), and they feed for about six hours a day •nursing females will eat her body weight in insects every night •bats live about 15-20 years •in the winter, most bats here hibernate, though some migrate south •they hibernate in places with moderate temperatures and a certain level of humidity like vacant mine shafts, caves, old barns and attics •when hibernating, a bat’s body temperature drops down to 5 degrees Celcius •bats live near water where they have access to

lots of insects and a source of hydration •there are 20 species of bats in Canada, 16 can be found in B.C., and 10 in the Fraser Valley •when reproducing, some bats have delayed fertilization where the sperm is stored in the reproductive tract for several months after mating in the fall, then fertilization occurs in the spring •like humans, bats usually only give birth to one offspring at a time •the best place to see bats is near a source of light at dawn or dusk where thousands of insects can be found •there have been only three known deaths in Canada as a result of being bitten by a rabid bat •bat poop is called ‘guano’ and it makes for a great organic fertilizer

use.” The re-zoned portion lies on the far side of the park and is not fully developed and integrated into the park, wrote Gresham. The twinned Trans Mountain pipeline would cut across this section, at the top end farthest from the lake.

Local anti-pipeline organization Pipe Up Network raised alarm this week over the 12,000 barrels of Canadian crude that spilled out of an Exxon Mobil pipeline in Mayflower, Arkansas, on March 29. Two dozen homes were evacuated, and residents have filed a class action lawsuit against the company. Pictures of the spill show rivers of black tar-like oil across rivers, backyards, and local wildlife.

“The photos from this spill highlight the risks of transporting

bitumen and the tragedy that ensues when a break happens,” said Lynn Perrin of Pipe Up Network in a release.

Another spokesperson, Michael Hale, added: “Within the past five years, we have seen hundreds of thousands of litres of oil spill from Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline in four major spills.”

In Chilliwack, Vedder Middle School, Watson Elementary, Unsworth Elementary, and John Calvin Elementary lie within 200 metres of the proposed pipeline.

A further 16 schools lie within a few blocks.

Pipe Up Network recently launched its school safety campaign, designed to encourage local schools to develop an emergency procedure relating to pipeline spills. akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/alinakonevski

School board delves into budget The Progress

The Chilliwack school district is busy formulating next year’s budget, and held its first ever budget committee meeting on April 4. The district is expecting up to $3.9 million in additional costs for the 201314 year, and has not yet devised a plan for covering this.

With the ministry’s recent increase to the per pupil cost, the district should see a slightly larger total basic allocation grant.

However, district staff estimate that increases in Teacher Pension Plan costs, BC Hydro rates, and the cost of converting back to the PST will suck a further $1.8 million out of the budget. And, with the signing of next year’s collective agreements, the district expects 1.5 per cent raises to support and teaching staff salaries, adding a further $2.1 million to the expense list.

The district has been opening up its

budget deliberations to the public. Fifty-three people replied to the online budget survey.

Common themes were needing more librarians, reducing administrative staff, improving support for at-risk and special education students, and upgrading technology. The full results are online. The district will present a survey summary at the May 2 budget committee meeting.

The district’s public budget consultation meeting on March 27 brought several interest groups to voice their priorities.

The Chilliwack Teachers’ Association wants to see increases to non-enrolling teachers such as librarians, a reduction in class sizes, and a decrease in wait times for district testing.

Divert traffic altogether

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

Pay parking has divided the community of Harrison Hot Springs for far too long.

And because it’s a potential revenue stream for the municipality, it’s a concept that’s not going to die this week, next year, or after another election.

But it should.

While Harrison Hot Springs is a gem in its own right, its tourism traffic cannot be compared to nearby meccas like Whistler or White Rock. What Harrison needs is its own unique solution to thinning out the lines of cars that clog Esplanade on those busy holiday weekends. The community needs to drum up a localized solution, and even better — a green solution.

Rather than taking a cue from Whistler’s method of pay parking, why not take a look at how they route traffic? Or rather, how they divert traffic from the walkable business core, and encourage pedestrians. A good start would be encouraging biking and walking around the main beach by making the sides of the roads safer.

Or better yet, why not keep the traffic out of town altogether through the summer weekends? There are a handful of empty lots waiting for development to be needed — and then permitted.

Nobody really wants to pave paradise in favour of a parking lot. But that’s exactly what Whistler did, while incorporating its hiking and biking trails, and even a bike park, in all adjacent corners.

And it works. Stockpiling all the cars away from the attractions could be a solution here, along with a bike rental operation or peak hours shuttle bus.

People like to walk. And while they’re walking, they like to pop in and out of the very kinds of stores Harrison is rightfully proud of.

But every time a car sits idling waiting for someone, anyone, to leave a parking spot at the beach, it’s at a cost to the environment. And whenever cars circle the town scouting out the perfect place to stop, the roads become less pedestrian friendly.

For a community that is doing it’s best to attract tourism, pay parking would have been a step in the wrong direction.

B.C. V IEWS

It’s still easy being Green VICTORIA –This is the first of a series of policy commentaries on the four main parties contesting the 2013 B.C. election.

I’m starting with the B.C. Green Party, which has higher than usual hopes for the 2013 election. It was also the first to put out a substantial policy document, albeit one that is still being debated and altered.

Green Book 2013 continues the Utopian positions that only a party with no chance of forming a government has the luxury to put forward. For example, they would double the area of parks in B.C., but take 100 years to do it.

Immediately, they would almost double the carbon tax, taking it from seven to 12 cents on a litre of gasoline.

Greens would extend this steeply increased carbon tax to industries such as natural gas and

cement production. Leader Jane Sterk told me she expects cement producers and the like to adapt, rather than shut down as their competitive position erodes.

And what about the extra billions in carbon tax revenues? Sterk says most should continue to go to income tax reductions, as Tom is now the case, FLETCHER because the purpose is to change consumption patterns, not to increase overall tax revenue. Most, but not all.

“We think there is an argument to be made for putting, for a period of time, the increased revenue from the carbon tax into creating the infrastructure that allows

people to benefit from a carbon tax,” Sterk said.

That means transit, and potentially retrofits of homes and other buildings as well. Tax increase aside, this is essentially the NDP position too.

The Greens emphasize wind and geothermal power. Sterk faces the awkward task of arguing against hydroelectric expansion.

A Green government would cancel the Site C dam project on the Peace River. Sterk says it would only serve as a subsidy to liquefied natural gas exports, which she doesn’t believe materialize as international competitors develop.

The Greens’ star candidate, University of Victoria climate scientist Andrew Weaver, agrees.

Both point to vast reserves of Russian gas that may well get to Asia more quickly and cheaply.

Sterk said the 35,000 existing gas wells in northern B.C. “are not going to be shut down.” Actually, in the absence of LNG exports, that is exactly what would happen to many of them. The U.S. has its own shale gas supplies, and is B.C.’s only current export customer. Converting transport trucks and BC Ferries to LNG fuel isn’t going to maintain the vast industry blooming in northern B.C. The official Green Party position is to place a moratorium on B.C. gas drilling while a comprehensive water use policy is developed. Current innovations such as reusing municipal wastewater are ignored.

The Green platform also demands disclosure of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing, which the B.C. Oil and Gas Commission has already done.

If one were to design a selffulfilling prophecy that B.C.’s LNG project is doomed to fail, the Green Party platform would be a good place to start.

Reading through Green Book 2013, I’m left with the impression that much of it remains calculated as a soothing message for urban voters who have been convinced it’s courageous to drive their cars down to an anti-tanker protest.

If Weaver, Sterk or any other Greens get elected, it will be surfing a wave of protest votes from people weary of the B.C. Liberals and the NDP. It will not be due to the practicality or even internal consistency of their polices.

It’s still pretty easy being Green.

approves Kinder Morgan study, Progress, April 2.)

The Progress quoted Director John Van Laerhoven saying “With the new technology that companies have now, do we prefer that we move fuel through a 40-50 year old pipeline, as opposed to a new one?” Ian Anderson, president of Kinder-Morgan, Canada, said at a local meeting that the existing pipeline would not be replaced whether approval for the tripling is approved or not. He also said that the old pipeline has an unlimited life.

At a concurrent Kinder Morgan Open House to inform locals about this tripling of the current pipeline to almost 900,000 a technician suggested cracks in pipelines often cannot be identified using current monitoring technology. Kinder Morgan is referred to by the Bellingham, Washington-based Pipeline Safety Trust as “the poster child for pipeline problems” and has a long list of conflict with government agencies, courts, employees, and the environment that it moves through.

Through Chilliwack the existing pipeline passes over our aquifer immediately behind the Watson Elementary School, as

Latest pipeline leak shows the vulnerability of local aquifer Pegasus, the flying horse, also often refers to ‘spring’ and ‘well’. This week it refers to the 50-year-old Exxon Pegasus Pipeline, which has thus far spewed 12,000 barrels of tar sands diluted bitumen into the city and environment of Mayflower, Arkansas. The photographs are horrific. Residents have been evacuated and many don’t want to return to their new homes.

According to industry standards a 15 per cent cleanup of any oil leak is considered successful.

The Pegasus pipeline is 50 years old and carried 90,000 barrels of oil per day. Here in Chilliwack the Kinder Morgan/ Trans Mountain pipeline is 60 years old and carries 300,000 barrels per day, including recently added diluted bitumen. They intend to triple it now that they have committed customers, and maybe more than triple if more customers step up. Most of the volume would apparently go to China.

Last week the Chilliwack Progress reported that the FVRD has approved Kinder Morgan to conduct a corridor study in Cheam Lake Wetlands. (FVRD

well as other suburban, farm, commercial and ecologically sensitive parts of the City and area. Much of it is through the ‘protected groundwater zone’ of the aquifer as identified on the city website which states: “The Sardis-Vedder Aquifer is particularly vulnerable to contamination — the water table lies only a shallow 5 - 10 metres below the surface — chemical or waste materials travel only a short distance through the soil to impact groundwater quality.”

The pipeline is as shallow as three feet.

So if the Greek character Pegasus often denotes ‘spring’ and ‘well’, what does KinderMorgan denote?

I recently heard on the CBC that based on current plans Mr. Kinder intends to personally reap $6B, yes billion, from the Kinder Morgan/Trans Mountain pipeline. Ian Anderson, again, the President of Kinder Morgan Canada, has said on at least two occasions that this pipeline will result in 15-30 permanent jobs.

I wonder what the Greek gods would make of this.

Sunday accident has happy ending On Easter Sunday, I had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital at about 11 a.m. from St. John’s Anglican Church in Sardis. It is not the way one would choose to spend Easter but, nevertheless, that is how I spent it.

Two ambulances showed up and I was taken care of by the attendants and then driven to the hospital.

This does not sound too exciting or unusual, and it isn’t. We are among the most fortunate people on the planet to have

a medical system that can take care of us the way I was taken care of that Sunday.

I did not get the names of the medics on the ambulances. I do, however, remember their faces and how extremely competent they were. Competent and professional. By the time we arrived at the hospital, I considered them my friends. You guys know who you are and, believe me, you were much appreciated.

I spent more than 24 hours in emergency

and was looked after by who knows how many different people. They stuck needles in me, took blood from me, monitored me, checked on me and treated me like I was fine china.

Two names I remember are Peter and Jennifer. There were, however, quite a number of other people involved in my care whose names I know not.

Nobody wants to be taken to hospital in an ambulance. Nobody wants to end up on a

narrow bed with wires and tubes attached to various parts of their anatomy.

However, when the time comes, the staff that dealt with me were professional and competent. They were also caring and concerned. I just wanted to say a big thank you to all concerned.

I don’t think our first responders and emergency staff get enough recognition so this is my attempt to say “good on ya, guys.”

Market stable heading into spring With the tax gone, consumers will pay only GST on the realtor’s commission. The impact on housing sales will be minimal.

“The HST rebate was in fact very close to the GST rebate, so it never really significantly affected the total purchase price. It was largely a misconception by consumers that HST was bad for home purchases,” explained CADREB president Jesse Hildebrandt in a release.

Alina Konevski The Progress

Removal of the HST will have little impact on housing prices, according to the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board. The Chilliwack housing market remains stable going into spring, traditionally the strongest season for home sales.

When the HST was in effect, the government provided buyers with a larger rebate, according to CADREB.

Average housing price was $303,868 in March 2012. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

There were 168 home sales in March, a decrease from 200 homes sold in March 2012. Average housing price was $303,868.

Nearly half of residential sales were single family detached homes, with an average price of $371,559.

These figures are only slightly higher than average prices this time last year, suggesting that Chilliwack is a great place to settle down, but not an ideal investment market.

There were 407 new listings in March, for a current inventory total

of 1,594 properties.

Single family homes sold in March stood on the market for an average of two months.

Townhouses stood for 71 days, condominiums 57 days, and mobile homes and acreages 100 days each.

Interest rates remain low, and Chilliwack is still a buyer’s market, according to CADREB. The stable housing market reflects a good inventor y of homes, and there are homes to fit a variety of budgets. akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/alinakonevski

The Chilliwack Players’ Guild brings Postmortem to the stage, a suspense thriller which runs April 18 to 27 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. SUBMITTED PHOTO

A mystery thriller for Guild’s spring production L

ife imitates art in Postmortem, a mystery and the latest production

by Chilliwack Players’ Guild at the Cultural Centre April 18-27.

Expect exciting plot twists, suspense and even a few laughs.

When the curtain rises the audience meets an actor known for his portrayals of Sherlock Holmes, who has invited the cast of his latest play out for a weekend retreat.

Turns out it’s an anniversary of sorts for the acting troupe. The very same group of players were in attendance

the year before when another guest mysteriously committed suicide.

Accusations of jealousy, revenge and even murder erupt in this production set in the 1920s. It becomes clear that someone is trying to kill the weekend host and keep him from learning the terrible truth.

But it seems the eccentric actor plans to solve the cold case himself, in the intrepid tradition of his hero Sherlock Holmes, setting the scene for his greatest, and perhaps final, role.

Postmortem stars Darcy Ferrier, Ross

Biondolillio, Denise Munro, Laura Hames, Rachel Plaza (the veterans), and Sabine Gaudette, Darrin Kennedy and Gifford McRobbie (the newbies), and is directed

by Larry Hamm.

Hamm has acted in many Guild productions, and directed other non-Guild productions, but this is his first time in the director’s chair for the Guild. Postmortem follows the troupe on the anniversary of an apparent suicide of one of its members, back at the scene of the crime to find her murderer.

The federal funding investment was announced Wednesday

by Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl on behalf of the Honourable James Moore, Minister of Canadian Heritage and Official Languages.

Thanks to this funding, the Cultural Centre Society will be able to present a series of about 30 acts in 39 performances in the 575- and 160-seat venues run by the society.

“Our Government is proud to invest in the presentations of live performances like those of the Chilliwack

Ar ts and Cultural Centre Society that contribute to our collective identity and define who we are as Canadians,” said Moore.

The $10,000 is from the Canada Arts Presentation Fund of the Depar tment of Canadian Heritage, which gives Canadians increased access to the variety and richness of Canada’s culture through professional arts festivals, presentations of live professional performances and other artistic experiences.

“The Depar tment of Canadian Heritage through the Canada Ar ts Presentation Fund has given clear support for the exciting work the Society is doing to ensure that all Chilliwack residents have access to the widest possible range of professional live performance experiences.”

There’s even an economic angle.

“The support of arts and cultural organizations can do more than stimulate creativity. A healthy arts and cultural sector can be an impor tant economic driver,” said Strahl. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Special to The Progress We take many things for granted today, often not fully appreciating the amount of research, hard work or even the fascinating history behind some of our garden food plants.

Take the garden pea for example. Our parents and grandparents planted them, but their history dates back a bit farther — pea seeds were found in an Egyptian tomb at Thebes!

Garden peas, or Pisum sativum, are thought to have originated in the area around Pisa, Italy where they grew wild. The Greeks and Romans served boiled peas as a light refreshment during intermissions at their theatre presentations.

Peas were a favourite early vegetable among Europeans, and various cultures adapted legends about peas. In Britain, a pod containing nine peas was considered lucky.

Peas were also used as one of the many cures for warts. Each wart was supposed to be touched with a pea, that was then wrapped in paper and buried.

As the pea decayed in the ground, the wart was supposed to disappear. In the language

of flowers, the drained, shalpea is a symbol low, sandy soil of respect, and that both dries it’s the birthday out and warms flower of Feb up quickly. They 17.

In Continued: minter/ p36 Scotland, peas were never sown until the first swallow appeared, while in England, an old ditty advises to “Sow beans and peas on David and Chad (March 1 and 2), be the weather good or bad”. Although many good gardeners plant peas early, you can space the plantings out to enjoy peas right through the summer.

If you listen to 89.5 The HAWK, you will hear Don Lehn deliver the news in a clear and concise manner. As the HAWK’s news director, he has to be on top of it all. He spends copious amounts of time researching, interviewing and investigating stories. The work can be fast paced and there are constant demands to meet deadlines.

This is natural for Don; it’s something that he thrives on and it’s also been his passion since he was just 12 years old.

Don’s mother was a very artistic lady who had a great appreciation for the theatre, oil painting and music. “My mom loved a wide variety of music. I share that same passion and I’m quite sure that I get my wild, creative side from her,” he laughed.

He spent his younger years in St. Catharine’s,

Ontario but the weather back east impacted his father’s health negatively so after a visit to the coast in the summer of ’69, the family resolved to head west. “We settled in Richmond in October of that year and dad worked as an auto mechanic. I’ll never forget my first Christmas out here; I just couldn’t get over how green it was,” he reflected enthusiastically.

By the time that Don was in Grade 7, he asked his mother to write BCIT to find out what their entrance requirements were. “I knew even then what I wanted to do with my life.” After high school, he promptly started down the path to his radio career and two years after being admitted to the radio broadcasting program at BCIT, he graduated and began working at CKGF in Grand Forks.

now for 34 years and back when I graduated in 1979, I was the youngest grad from their program. I headed off to Grand Forks when I was barely 19. The mountains were glowing when I arrived in the middle of Doukhobor country. Talk about culture shock! After four months, I pulled the plug,” he said, with a chuckle.

After his short stint in Grand Forks, his radio career took him to CJVI in Victoria. From there, his career reads like a Canadian road map. “I then went to Kamloops, Regina, Calgar y, Ottawa, the Fraser Valley (Chilliwack and Abbotsford), Vancouver and finally, I’m back for my second tour of duty in the Valley,” he listed.

Don started off his career as a disc jockey but by the time that he started in Ottawa, he moved over to the news side of the business. “I was asked if I wanted to do news and it didn’t take me but a moment to consider that full conversion. I was covering Parliament Hill and it was a good move for me. It’s funny because when I was in school, they encouraged us to do news, sports and public affairs and I thought that it was crazy. I just wanted to be a disc jockey. In hindsight, it was a good thing because not only did I end up doing news but I also did NHL hockey in addition to covering the CFL, CHL and Triple A Baseball and interviewing some pretty big names in the entertainment world,” he said.

For Don, his career always came first. “It didn’t just come first; really, it was so far ahead of everything and anything. It was all I lived and breathed. To this day, I am a workaholic although I now know the signs and have more control over myself. Back then, long lasting relationships meant nothing to me because it was all about work.” His life was out of balance and out of control. His lifestyle was fast and easy and included drugs and plenty of alcohol. “I was in Ottawa and it was New Years Eve. I was scheduled to emcee a Tom Cochrane concert and I was not only late for the gig but I showed up drunk and in sweats when I should have been in a tux. My general manager was a recovered alcoholic and it was she who saved

my life. I was fired but this incident was what I call the beginning of the end of the beginning,” he explained.

Don was admitted to hospital and as he says, “There was a crash cart just waiting outside my door. They really didn’t think that I was going to make it. My body was under severe stress. I had high blood pressure and my glucose was out of control. I shouldn’t be here but thankfully, I survived.”

Today, as has been the case for many years now, Don is a proud recovered alcoholic and drug addict. For the last five years, he has also been a diabetic so he carefully watches his weight and his lifestyle.

“My workday starts at 3:30 in the morning but I am careful to get my necessary rest and I enjoy exercising. I still work my butt off but I try to have a bit more balance in my life which includes forming relationships again.

I also enjoy concerts and working out, I’m a music collector and buff and a huge supporter of the arts,” he said, with an earnest smile.

18 inches apart. Raised beds are beneficial to many garden vegetables, and peas are no exception. Soil levels, raised six to eight inches above ground level, will raise the temper-

ature of the soil from eight to 13 degrees Fahrenheit.

There are a number of good pea varieties, and it can take you several years to try them all! I’ve seen many oldtimers grow beautiful crops of Telephone

peas on poles, which makes a fine garden feature, but most of us simply don’t have enough room in a small garden. ‘Little Marvel’ is an old dwarf pea that requires very little staking. I think, however, that the best dwarf peas

are the ‘Sugar Snap’ varieties. ‘Sugar Ann’, ‘Honey Pod Dwarf’ and ‘Sweet Snap’ are three award-winning varieties, and their flavour is superb. They are also great grown in patio pots. The great feature of these peas is the fact that you eat the pod and all, and they never get bitter or old tasting!

Peas are an early cool crop, and they can be planted now. They will grow quickly to provide you with their uniquely delicious flavour.

Football fundraiser rakes in money Trending in golf

The GW Graham Football program kicked of the fundraising season with a successful second annual manure sale, held at the school last weekend.

They raised over $6800 over two days, a whopping 70 per cent more than last year in spite of not-so-favorable weather.

“We are really pleased with the overall result, particularly because it was a pretty crummy weekend in terms of weather,” said Anthony Breuker, the booster volunteer and coach responsible for the sale. “Having said that, we couldn’t be prouder of our boys out there shoveling, bagging and selling manure for two days in pouring rain.”

The Grizzlies fundraising efforts will continue through the summer and into the fall with a soon-tobe-announced raffle and a fall kick-off fundraiser dinner.

The Grizzlies are hosting three double header home games (at the junior varsity and varsity levels) this fall at Exhibition Stadium, and spring camp kicks off on May 21.

The camp will conclude with exhibition games against Mission at Chilliwack’s Townsend Park.

Nerbas drives in winning run in extra innings triumph

The Chilliwack midget AAA Cougars hosted a pair of roadweary travelers last weekend, opening the regular season with double-headers versus the South Okanagan Tigers and West Kelowna Diamond Backs.

The Cougars faced the Tigers in a soggy Saturday double header, with the rain holding off just enough to get play in at Fairfield Island.

Chiliwack edged the Tigers 4-3 in the first game and 4-2 in the second.

Cougar bats produce 10 hits in the opener, which went to extra innings.

Chilliwack could have sewn things up beforehand, had they not struggled with runs in scoring position.

The winning run

came in the ninth inning when a hardhit single by Peyton Nerbas drove Mike Rogers home.

Starting pitcher Blake Peeling tossed six innings, allowing three runs on seven hits while striking out eight.

Matt Lamb got the win, relieving Peeling for three scoreless innings.

Lamb struck out two.

Offence was harder to come by in the rematch.

The game was tied 2-2 going into the

bottom of the sixth inning when a wild pitch by the South Okanagan hurler allowed base runner Ryan Petkau to cross the plate.

A sacrifice bunt

by Nerbas added the insurance run.

Top producers at the plate were Donovan Moorman, with the game’s only double, and Derek Riediger, who went 2 for 2 at the dish.

Riediger pitched as well, tossing a complete game with five hits and one earned run allowed.

He struck out seven.

The Cougars never got the Sunday double header played, with rain forcing forcing the West Kelowna squad to retreat back to their sunny home.

The Cougars are off to Kamloops this weekend for a three game series against the RiverDogs.

Home openers for the bantam and peewee AA Cougars were rained out.

There are several stories, controversies and new products to keep an eye on in the golf world in 2013.

Here are a few that top my charts: Last season, the US Golf Association and R&A announced the imminent rule change to ban the anchoring of a putter to the body while taking a stroke.

This changes the game for players like Adam Scott and Ernie Els who carry ‘long’ or ‘belly’ putters in their bags.

The rule won’t take effect until 2016, but with big names claiming big stakes on both sides of the debate, this will surely be a heated issue this season. One of our customers commented, ‘If they are banning these putters, then they must work. And if they work, I want one before they’re gone.’

Fair enough, and he bought one that day.

In 2012, TaylorMade launched the new RocketBallz line, with a bold guarantee of extra yardage. And with the most adjustable driver on the market, the R11S, how could TaylorMade top itself?

Piece of cake.

TaylorMade looks to break records again this season with the launch of the new RocketBallz Stage II, RocketBladez line ups, and the new R1 driver. The claim for 2013 is an average distance increase of 27 yards (17 from the 2012 improvements plus another 10).

Are you kidding me?

Why didn’t I keep that a secret?

Lydia Ko is an up-andcomer topping my chart as the biggest thing to hit the golf world since Tiger Woods.

At age 15, Ko broke the

record of youngest player ever to win an LPGA tour event, capturing the 2012 CN Canadian Women’s Open at the Vancouver Club in August.

While still maintaining her amateur status, she has claimed victory at three professional events since 2012.

She nearly claimed a fourth at the 2013 ISPA Handa Women’s Australian Open in February, where she fired an astounding first round -10, 63.

The Korean-born girl now calls New Zealand home.

The big question now is when will she turn pro? When she does, she will then join the likes of Michelle Wie and Lexi Thompson, who started their LPGA careers before their 16th birthdays.

The bigger question to be answered from my perspective is, how many records will Ko shatter before she learns how to drive a car?

Tiger vs. Rory. I love a good ol’ fashioned rivalry, just like everyone else. The Official World Golf Ranking kicked off the 2013 season with Rory McIlory at the top, and Tiger Woods biting at his heels at number two.

By claiming victory last week at the 2013 Bay Hill Invitational, while Rory stumbled in the starting blocks, Tiger has now regained the number one position.

Fueling even more controversy, Nike signed McIlroy to a hefty contract this year that has been speculated to exceed that of Woods.

Many analysts are calling McIlroy the new face of Nike as he joins the ranks of one of the highest paid athletes in sports.

Who will eventually surge ahead on the World Rankings? Who knows, but hats off to Nike for signing the top two players in the world, and for making commercials that still make me laugh.

Chilliwack-trained boxer Darcie Kaye came up short in her latest match, losing on points to a battle-tested veteran.

Kaye took on Jen Yeager April 29 at the Cascade Casino in Langley.

Yeager, representing Action Boxing Vancouver, beat Kaye on points.

“Jen is definitely the toughest competition in BC,” said Keith Holdsworth, Kaye’s coach at Chilliwack’s Four Directions Boxing. “Jen told Darcie at end of the bout she was her toughest competition to date, and Jen has been around for a while.”

Kaye actually landed more punches, and many at ringside thought she’d won. But the bout was scored under pro standards, with points for ring control, aggression, significant punches and scoring punches.

“In past amateur bouts she’s fought, it was only scored on scoring punches,” Holdsworth elaborated. “Jen was more aggressive, scored some heavier shots and controlled the pace.”

The match was part of the WBC Western Canadian Championships, hosted by Combsports.

Six weeks into the Kin’s Green Fighters Challenge, Chilliwack’s Carolyn Putt is making it look easy.

She’s won three of the six weekly challenges, including last weekend’s daffodil pin sale.

Putt raked in $342, all of it going to the Canadian Cancer Society.

“So many people were so generous in their donations,” Putt said. “An old neighbour gave $100 for her pin, and my two nephews and niece (with some prompting from mum and dad I assume) donated all their pop can recycling money, $34.”

Putt now gladly follows through on a pledge she made last

week.

“In honour of my niece, Lilee-Jean, and her newly growing hair, if I sell more pins and raise more money than the other Greenfighters I will very happily shave my head,” she promised.

On Tuesday afternoon, Putt got a text from her sister that read, ‘Say bye to ur hair!’

“The guys at my work are planning on doing it for me and I’m quite excited, but also quite nervous,” Putt said. “I’m nervous about the reactions of people around me, and this should be a good exercise in learning to not worry so much about what other people

think. Plus, hopefully it will be a good conversation starter and give me the chance to share Lilee-Jean’s story with more people.”

The healthy-living side of the Kin’s Green Fighters Challenge has been more difficult of late, with Putt lacking motivation.

She’s still going to the gym.

But the attention to diet detail has slipped slightly.

“But I actually feel like my life over the last week or two is more like something I could actually stick to once the challenge is over.

So I guess that’s a good thing.”

Putt’s success has turned into another obstacle to be overcome.

She dusted the com-

petitition in the Easter challenge, coming up with the best ideas for a healthier weekend.

Her prize?

A gift card to COBS Bread.

“This may actually be a conspiracy to bring me down, as I absolutely love their cinnamon buns,” she chuckled.

“And $75 could buy a whole lot of them!”

The Kin’s Green Fighters Challenge gathers 13 contestants from Lower Mainland communities, challenging them to live healthier lives.

Each contestant receives a support package of over $2,000 in value that includes free fruits and veggies, free nutrition consultation, free personal training consultation and a free gym membership.

Fitness testing was done before week one.

The contestant showing the most improvement after week 13 wins a cruise for two to a sunny destination.

ROLLS Eva Myrtle

(nee Bateman) Eva passed away peacefully surrounded by family, on April 6, 2013 at the Waverly Seniors Village ROLLS in her 104th year. She was born in Durban, Manitoba on January 13, 1910.

Eva was predeceased by her husband of 62 years, Harold Rolls, in 1993.

She was a master homemaker, raising six children and tending to the many farm chores. She retired to the Lynnwood Residence 12 years ago and had recently moved to the Waverly Seniors Village in September 2012.

She was a past member of Carman United Church Ladies Auxillary. When mom’s work was done she filled her days reading, knitting and

creating quilts and handiwork. She so much enjoyed her years with the Lynnwood knitting club creating lap quilts for charity.

Mom’s quiet presence and loving manner will be fondly remembered by her six children: Stan (Betty) Rolls of Chilliwack, Allan (Bev) of Penticton, Aileen Bitz (Norm Frank) of Kamloops, Shirley (Gary) Scales of Chilliwack, Ken (Kay) Rolls of Port Alberni and Evelyn (Gordie) Barber of Kelowna, 14 grandchildren, 24 great-grandchildren and seven great-great-grandchildren.

She is survived by four sisters Bessie and Violet of Swan River, Manitoba, Daisy of Karrs, Ontario and Marjorie of Canora, Saskatchewan.

Eva’s family would like to express sincere thanks to the warm and caring staff at the Waverly Seniors Village and the many Home Care staff who have helped mom over the years.

A family celebration of her life will be held at a later date.

In 1956, he and his wife Elizabeth, who was eight and a half months along with their first child, fled from Hungary to Austria as refugees from the Hungarian Revolution.

Eventually he moved to Vancouver, BC with his young family. There he owned and operated an automotive garage, as well as becoming a ski instructor at Grouse Mountain. In 1971 he met his second wife, Carolyn and moved out of the city to Yarrow, BC where he raised five more children.

John had many interests and pursued them with a passion. He had a love for flying and taught hangliding while working toward a pilot’s license. He eventually was able to teach both flying and skiing, dividing the year between the two. In his spare time he enjoyed ballroom dancing and building ultralight aircraft.

John was a proud Hungarian and never forgot his roots, but he loved Canada and the life he was able to build here.

He was predeceased by his wife Carolyn and his sons Christopher and Arpad. He is survived by his brother, George; his children Aniko, Gabriella, Matthew, Katalin and Melanie and his grandchildren: Brianne, Tamara, Sean and Sydney.
