NDP keeps ‘wiggle room’ on oil pipeline proposal Jeff Nagel Black Press
Despite repeated questioning on oil exports this election, B.C. NDP leader Adrian Dix still won’t explicitly rule out a twinning of the Kinder Morgan oil pipeline through B.C. Dix announced his party’s stance against a “massive expansion of oil tankers” through Vancouver harbour on Earth Day, to much applause from environmentalists who interpreted it as a rock-solid ‘No’ to Kinder Morgan. But two days later NDP energy critic John Horgan told Black Press the NDP doesn’t reject the
pipeline twinning project outright and would wait to see how Kinder Morgan might revise its plan, possibly using a different terminal. Dix then rejected any other Metro Vancouver terminal, such as Deltaport, which Horgan had suggested the company might propose. The NDP leader was grilled in both the radio and TV leaders’ debates on the possibility Kinder Morgan might propose bending the new pipeline south from Abbotsford to a terminal in Washington State, avoiding Vancouver. Both times Dix stuck to his position against Metro Vancouver
becoming as an oil superport without issuing a blanket pipeline rejection. “What I say ‘no, period’ to is transforming the ports of Metro Vancouver into major oil export ports,” Dix said when asked in an interview Wednesday why he doesn’t fully reject the twinning. “That increase in oil tankers off our coast is not in our economic and environmental interest and I’m against it.” Dix said Kinder Morgan is free to submit its formal pipeline application and said he has laid out clearer parameters than the B.C. Liberals’ “trust us” stance on new oil pipelines.
Asked if he sees any potential game-changing revision to the pipeline proposal that makes it more attractive by reducing risk or adding benefits, he said no. On the notion of an alternate terminal, Dix said changing the launch point of tankers a few nautical miles “doesn’t make a significant amount of difference.” Not everyone is convinced. “I think they’ve got some wiggle room,” B.C. Green Party leader Jane Sterk. “I think they could argue that if the tankers are going down south of the border, it’s not in B.C. waters.” Nor does B.C. Yukon Building and Construction Trades Council
Candidates make pitch to voters of tomorrow Alina Konevski The Progress
Conser vative candidate in Chilliwack, Chad Eros, came prepared when asked to present his election platform in 10 minutes to Central Elementary students. The father of nine rolled out an allegorical tale of two farmers, complete with illustrations drawn by his 15-year-old daughter. The story introduced two orange farmers who struggled to get enough juice out of their crop in a draught. The first farmer used a vice grip to re-squeeze old oranges, getting more juice out of them. But the result had a bitter taste. The second farmer used orange seeds to plant more trees, growing more oranges. He distributed gold stars to people for digging the well to access hidden water. Residents could then trade the gold stars for candy – or cars, as one young listener suggested. Most kids got the candidate’s point. “Don’t ever buy orange juice from an orange farmer that wants to squeeze you – I mean, oranges – harder,” said Eros. “Buy from the farmer who won’t squeeze harder, but let the trees grow, and give them water to grow, so more oranges can grow.” Organizing teacher Christopher Lister has been bringing a Chilliwack candidate to his Grade 5/6 classes every day this week to have them explain their platform. The events are recorded and livestreamed to any other school in the district that cares to listen in. The presentations will inform the students’ voting decisions, when they hold their mock vote on Monday as part of a national Student Vote program. “My goal is to provide authentic learning opportunities,” said Lister. “The election is a fantastic

way to learn about levels of government.” Lister wants to see youth realizing that they have a voice. After the presentation, many hands shot up among the several dozen students in the room. ‘Will you promote sports for schools?’ came as the first question. Eros replied that yes, healthy living is important and lowers healthcare costs. ‘Will you make more jobs for younger people?’ If the government gets out of the way, Eros said, creative people will create new job opportunities. ‘Will you stop people from

smoking?’ Changing an individual’s behaviour is tough, answered Eros. Students also asked about more technology in schools (Eros is for it), about how to reduce B.C.’s ecological footprint (he wants to see more cars with catalytic converters), and how he feels about building more pipelines connecting B.C. to Alberta (Eros said the alternative, of buying oil from places such as Saudi Arabia and Russia, is much worse). As some students gathered round to collect the candidate’s autograph, others chatted about who they will vote for.
10-year-old Micheal MacKay was fully convinced by the presentation, and said that Eros had his vote because the candidate wanted to lower taxes, which neither the Liberals or the Green Party – who presented to the students earlier in the week – committed to doing. But Shelly-Ann Crane was concerned about Eros’ plan to build more oil and gas pipelines. Spills are very dangerous, she said, and can damage waterways. Bradley Bell was undecided, but one thing he knows for sure, is he doesn’t want Metro Vancouver to build that incinerator. akonevski@theprogress.com

For many years, athletic city councillor Dorothy Kostrzewa could be found hitting tennis balls on the Portage Park tennis courts. She continued to play until she was 80. Those well-loved tennis courts will be known as the Dorothy Kostrzewa Tennis Courts after city council approved the renaming, with the blessing of the Kostrzewa family at the May 7 meeting. The move was made to honour the late city councillor’s 31 dedicated years of service to the City of Chilliwack. There were more than a few tears shed during the announcement. “Dorothy Kostrzewa gave so much to Chilliwack through community governance as a city councillor, but also in the development of sport,” says Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “Prior to her passing in January, Dorothy continued to be involved in several sports, acting as an ambassador for the games she enjoyed so much, particularly tennis. She was key in the development of the Chilliwack Tennis Club, coaching junior and senior players for 21 years and organized tennis tournaments from 1979 to 1985. In 1984, she was recognized as the “Sportsman of the Year” for her service to young people. She was also an avid bowler, who played softball and badminton, as well as tennis. Continued: Tennis/ p20

WaterWealth issues its report card for Chilliwack candidates Alina Konevski The Progress
Local activist organization The WaterWealth Project has released a report card of Chilliwack and Chilliwack-Hope candidates in this election, scoring their performance on their commitment to water, accountability to the community, response to environmental threats, and proposed solutions. In the Chilliwack riding, the NDP
and the Green Party candidates came away with the highest scores, at A-. The B.C. Excalibur Party and the Conservatives received Bs, and the Liberal candidate came in dead last, with a D grade.

Candidates talk transit Transit from Front speed rail line from Chilliwack to Vancouver. Henshall emphasized that any pipeline upgrades would occur in conjunction with building more refineries, because in case of a spill, refined bitumen is easier to clean up than diluted bitumen. The candidate also wants to see a reduction in motorcycle insurance in order to encourage more motorbike use. For the Green Party candidate in Chilliwack, Kim Reimer, a strong public transport network is a key issue driving economic growth because it provides a larger labour pool, which i n turn supports businesses. Reimer would like to see tax breaks and funding that support cycling, transit, rail, tele-working, votes walking and video-confer2013 encing, as well as distancebased auto insurance, road and parking pricing policies.

according to Muxlow. “The fact that (Liberal candidate for Chilliwack-Hope Laurie) Throness was not able to commit to water as a priority, and the overall failure by both Liberal candidates to recognize the deficiencies in the B.C.

sunny Saturday. The tractor portion of the Chilliwack match will include carefully restored antique tractors pulling plows, put to use specifically for the competition. There will also be a round for tractor drivers under 16 years of age, and a round where people walk the plow behind a driven tractor. For the draft horse portion, horses will pull a hand-walked plow. To win the competition, most important is to concentrate, and plow straight. “It has to be straight. When you have horses, if one horse doesn’t concentrate for a moment... looks at a bird or something, then immediately the straight line is out,” said draft horse judge François Freyvogel. Other judging criteria include making sure that there are as few weeds as possible in the turned over soil of the quarter acre or so plot. The overall
“crown” of 12 furrows also needs to look good. Because contestants plow a very small area for the competition, attention to detail matters. “You have to start into the plot very exact, and you have to come out very exact at the other end of the plot,” said Freyvogel. Using draft horses is becoming a farming art form, as tractors take over. “There’s nothing finer if you walk behind a team of draft horses, you have beautiful weather like it’s coming (this weekend), you have horses that have that wonderful smell around them, you have that leather harness in your hand, and you turn over the fresh soil. What is more beautiful?” said Freyvogel. The Chilliwack competition is being held in Abbotsford to merge with the nationals, and because there wasn’t a field large enough available in Chilliwack, as many farmers are
already using their lands. Teams are coming from all over B.C., Canada, and some from the States, to compete. The Canadian Plowing Championships are taking place May 8–11, overlapping with the Chilliwack match on the Saturday. Sixteen teams will compete with conventional and reversible plows to work the same-sized plot of land in under three hours. “Most of us do it for fun. We all want to win, but we can’t all. So we do it for fun, and we enjoy the people,” said Francis Sache, a competitor for over a decade, and current president of the B.C. Ploughing Association. The activities on Saturday will start at 10 a.m. at a private farm at Highway 11 and Fore Road in Abbotsford, just south of the Mission bridge. Admission is $5, free for those under 12. akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/alina.konevski

No excuses not to vote
The Chilliwack

R AESIDE
If the last time B.C. voters went to the polls is any indication, you’re just as likely not to cast a ballot in Tuesday’s provincial election as you are to mark your X. In 2009 just 50 per cent of eligible voters turned out at the polls to make their voice heard. In fact voter turnout has been declining steadily since 1983, when 70 per cent of eligible voters exercised their franchise. It’s not like voting is hard work. Short of knocking on your front door and sticking a ballot under your nose, Elections BC has made it increasingly easier and more convenient to vote. Advance polls opened Wednesday, and they’ll remain open through Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Voters could also cast their ballot at their nearest electoral office from the call of the election right up until election day. There’s an electoral office in every riding and they’re open until 4 p.m. It’s even possible to vote by mail. Residents who won’t be in their electoral district on voting day can vote in any other riding in the province. In Comox, voters can stay in their cars, as a drive-thru polling station will be set up at a former car dealership. And while Elections BC has studied the viability of online voting, there’s no guarantee that would increase voter participation. In Markham, Ont. where residents have been allowed to vote online in the past three municipal elections, participation didn’t increase, but it also didn’t decline. So really, there’s no excuses not to vote. Not even the distraction of a Canucks’ playoff run. ~ Black Press

Provincial NDP message is: trust us VICTORIA – When Adrian Dix took over as B.C. NDP leader two years ago, he struggled to communicate, especially in the sound bites of radio and TV. There was a running joke in the legislature press gallery: It didn’t matter what question you asked him, you got a six-minute answer that ended with the evils of log exports. Even more than under Carole James, the NDP railed against log exports. “B.C. logs for B.C. jobs” became one of Dix’s favourite slogans. As the election approached, another Dixism was heard daily: “Say what you’re going to do, say how you’re going to pay for it.” So it was a surprise a few weeks ago when the NDP signaled it would essentially not offer a policy on log exports. They’re going to meet with “stakeholders” and come up with a plan after they get

a majority government. This is exactly the same nonpolicy the NDP had in 2009. They don’t have an answer to the industr y’s point that the high price gained by premium logs in foreign markets is what keeps many loggers working, and subsidizes the harTom FLETCHER vest of other logs for B.C. coastal mills. Another thing the NDP doesn’t like is private power development. This issue featured prominently in the NDP leadership contest two years ago. Leadership contender Mike Farnworth told the party faithful he would study independent power purchase contracts, and if
he found that they are not in the public interest, he would “mend them or end them.” Another leadership hopeful, energy critic John Horgan, allowed that he would “break” contracts if necessary. By this spring, Dix had a new non-position on power purchase contracts. He will “assess them and address them.” The printed platform promises a review “within the limits of existing contracts.” Either they plan to risk a costly legal battle, or they’re just paying lip service. All you have to do to find out is elect them. Labour code changes are another blank slate. A memo from the B.C. Federation of Labour executive to members last year described how they were working closely with the NDP to rewrite B.C. labour law. The NDP election platform punts this issue until after the
election as well, promising an independent expert panel to decide on issues like whether to end secret-ballot votes for union certification. This isn’t just a bad idea, it’s a 30-year-old bad idea. It’s based on the destructive old notion that employers are the enemy of workers, and only a union can protect them. The long decline of union membership in the private sector isn’t caused by employer bullying or secret-ballot votes that protect employees’ freedom of choice. The cause is global competition. The only protection workers have from that is their own efficiency. Balancing the budget? An NDP government will strive to do that over “the business cycle,” says finance critic Bruce Ralston. Oldtimers might remember this one. It’s taken from the NDP’s 1991

If you still believe in a predictable “business cycle,” you may be willing to accept that an NDP-led B.C. will become the first jurisdiction in human history to eliminate poverty, by setting annual targets and paying out borrowed money to low-income parents. On ferries, fracking, union contracts, capital construction and other weighty matters, the NDP’s answer is the same: trust us.

RBC Dominion Securities Inc.
A Warm to AWelcome Warm Colette Epp
The Chilliwack
Progress
Colette Ray Mohan, Vice President and Branch Manager, is pleased to announce that Colette Epp has joined the Chilliwack office of RBC Dominion Securities as an Investment Advisor.
Weigh the consequences of your vote I’m concerned that many British Columbians are more focused on “change” for the sake of change rather than electing the party most likely to foster job creation and financial stability. Our province’s resource endowment has always been a mainstay of both jobs and the generation of revenues needed to fund social programs. From what I have seen and heard, an NDP government would rev-up spending while stymieing resource development through endless environmental reviews and or by just saying “no”, driving investment to other provinces and other countries. We need new mines and gas fields, pipelines, refineries, ports and processing plants to replace jobs lost by tech change and by events like the pine beetle catastrophe Economic development and the protection of the environment are not mutually exclusive. Yes, we must be good stewards of our beautiful province, but we do have the technology to move the economy forward in an environmentally responsible manner. Saying no to new projects will mean job losses for currently employed and no opportunity for young people looking to join the
work force. We also need to focus on balancing the provincial budget, rather than taking money away from social programs to fund rising interest costs. Forty years of experience in business has taught me that too much debt is crippling. It scares me that the NDP have rolled out billions of dollars in new spending during this campaign, and their “every dollar is accounted for” rhetoric just isn’t credible because their anti-development attitude will reduce revenue at the same time as spending rises. There is truth to the adage, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it”. The NDP came to power in 1991 and governed the rest of that decade. Investment dried up and economic growth trailed the rest of Canada. A low point came when the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce thanked the BC government for driving growth investment in Alberta. Glenn Clark’s 1996-1999 tenure was arguably the most disastrous for B.C. and with Adrian Dix, Premier Clark’s former Chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very worried about history repeating itself.
It took many years for the Liberals to repair the damage. During their time in government, North America suffered through a major recession and yet we now have a triple-A credit rating, higher than the US government, allowing BC taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates Have the Liberals done everything right? Certainly not. The introduction of the HST by the Campbell government was badly handled. There have been other gaffes and ill thought out policies. And while there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change long governing parties, it’s important not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without thinking about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a mountain of debt. I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully. And then get out and vote on May 14. Gwyn Morgan Editor’s Note: Morgan is the former chair of SNC Lavalin, and is a director on the boards of several other large corporations including EnCana Corporation. He has served as an advisor to Christy Clark.

Forestry, mining, natural gas, and coal, as well as mineral exploration and even oil exploration, are all key to sustaining our provincial economy and creating jobs. They are the real job creators in this province. The mining sector alone has the potential to create 17,000 new jobs and the mineral exploration sector could create another 4,000 jobs in the coming years.

Coquitlam RCMP have confirmed the body of a man pulled from the Pitt River last week is a 45-year-old man from Chilliwack who went missing after an accident two months ago. Just before midnight on March 10 a Ford F150 truck smashed through a concrete barrier at McDonald and Ballam roads and sheared off a power pole before plunging into the Fraser River. The body of a 36-year-old woman was pulled out a short time later. The RCMP Underwater Recovery Team was called to the scene to search for any additional victims that may have been in the vehicle and, once police were certain a second victim was involved in the crash, sonar equipment was used to try and locate him. Coquitlam RCMP were called to the Pitt River near Argue Street in Port Coquitlam last Wednesday, May 1 after somebody reported seeing a body in the river. Police have confirmed it is the man who went missing after the Chilliwack crash, but are not releasing his name out of respect for the family’s privacy. Cpl. Jamie Chung couldn’t say exactly how far the man’s body had travelled, but noted it’s not unusual for a body that hasn’t been trapped by debris to float that far downstream. “We were able to provide some closure to this family, instead of them wondering where he has gone,” Chung said.

Chilliwack students set sights on Kenya Alina Konevski The Progress
In the ultimate step of taking learning beyond the classroom, 14 Mt. Slesse students will cross boundaries to get a first hand perspective on life in a very different part of the world. The students, ranging from Grades 7 to 10, will go on an 11-day volunteering trip to Kenya during spring break 2014 as part of Free the Children’s Me to We initiative. A long-time “We School” that regularly supports FTC campaigns, Mt. Slesse will become the first school in Chilliwack to do the “voluntour.” “I really believe that traveling gives students education outside the classroom, that your classrooms shouldn’t be just the four walls,” said organizing teacher Sandi Rae. Students will fly into Nairobi, and head to the Maasai Mara game reserve the next day to tent camp for the rest of the trip. They will help build either a medical clinic or a school, depending on the stage of the ongoing FTCfunded project. They will also join local moms for a 3-km walk to collect water. They’ll take part in a training with Maasai warriors. And they’ll go on a safari. “I want to see what the rest of the world is like. I want to see how people live in third world countries,” said 14-year-old Jessica Heppner. The camp where students will spend nine of their 11 days has no running water or electricity. Although everyone has camping experience, nobody has travelled outside of developed countries. It took Rae eight months to persuade the school district to approve the trip. In her 17-year-long teaching career, Rae has taken students to New York, Mexico, Alberta, and California. When she first proposed the trip to the district last April, staff looked at the government of Canada travel warning for Kenya (which currently advises travellers to exercise a high degree of caution in the country), and said ‘no.’
Rae wasn’t fazed, and presented the plan again. “I met with the superintendent last year, and convinced them how ironic it would be for Free the Children to put children in harm’s way,” she said. After Rae presented the safety plan and obtained parental feedback, a new superintendent came in the fall. Rae received a fresh ‘no.’ Finally, district staff attended We Day in Vancouver in Oct. 2012 and met with other districts that had successfully run the program. “That was very convincing,” said Rae. The Chilliwack school district finally approved the trip in Dec. 2012. “We do have a backup plan,” said Rae. “If something happens politically in Kenya, then we’ll be rerouted to Nicaragua.” In addition to Rae, students will be accompanied by John Davy, Greendale Elementary teacher, Mt. Slesse vice-principal Alyson King, Mt. Slesse counsellor Joy Dougans, a Greendale Elementary parent, and a Me to We program coordinator. Once in the Maasai Mara, the group will have Maasai warriors with them as well. “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity kind of thing,” said 16-yearold Carly Andrews. Mt. Slesse students participate in many fundraising campaigns, but to experience the impact of the funds is a different thing. “I want to put all the money we’ve been raising into action,” said student Martha Gumprich. “I know it’s safe. I know it’s a program we’ve worked with a long time.” Students will see the types of projects they have fundraised for, such as bore holes and school buildings. Their biggest worry is the series of pretrip mandatory vaccinations. A series of speakers have been preparing students for the trip, including a presentation on cultural expectations, such as girls dressing modestly. And, two moms from the Maasai Mara are spending the week
in Chilliwack as part of a Me to We speaking tour, and will chat with students about what to expect. Students are fundraising $4,700 each for flight, room and board, and construction materials. They are selling $10 paper bricks to coat a wall at Mt. Slesse, representing the construction they’ll contribute to in Kenya. The students will sell the bricks and other goods at the school during the city-wide garage sale on Saturday. The visiting Maasai Mara moms will also be onsite to answer questions about the trip. akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/alina.konevski
Fifteen Mt. Slesse students are heading to Kenya next year as part of a “voluntour” trip with Free the Children. Some of the students are, from left, Jesse Hooge, Jayden Sprangers, Spencer Sprangers, Brendan Piegsa, Jessica Heppner, Amber Wilber, Carly Andrews, and Martha Gumprich.

Plenty of opportunities to vote
Alina Konevski The Progress
As the election gets tighter and tighter, with fewer campaign days remaining, the race has drawn interest far and wide. Who will control B.C.’s resources? Who will deal with education funding and teaching staff negotiations? Who will inherit the deficit, and how will the winning party fix this? Every vote counts as candidates battle for top dog in the Chilliwack ridings. Advance voting is officially underway for the 2013 provincial election, from Wednesday to Saturday. Otherwise, polls will be open on general voting day on May 14. For residents in the Chilliwack riding, voting booths are open May 8–11, at Evergreen Hall, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. For residents in the Chilliwack-Hope riding, advance polling is at the Tzeachten Community Hall in Chilliwack, the Royal Canadian Legion in Hope, the Canyon Lanes Bowling Alley in Boston Bar, and the Agassiz Agricultural Association Hall in Kent. On general elec-
tion day next Tuesday, Chilliwack riding residents can vote 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at one of 16 locations, including Evergreen Hall, Chilliwack Alliance Church, Sardis Secondary School, and the Yarrow Mennonite Brethren Church. Chilliwack-Hope riding residents can choose among 17 voting locations on May 14, including Mt. Slesse Middle School, Agassiz Agricultural Association Hall, Harrison Hot Springs Memorial Hall, and Silver Creek Elementary School in Hope. Not sure about your riding? Most of Chilliwack is in the Chilliwack riding, except for residents living southeast of the intersection of Lickman Rd. and South Sumas Rd., or east of Prest Rd. These residents are in the ChilliwackHope riding, including people living in the communities of Garrison Village, Promontory, and Cultus Lake, and parts of Rosedale. Elections B.C. has a handy tool to determine your riding immediately after providing your address. It’s at www.elections.bc.ca. Not registered to vote? You can still show up at a
voting booth and get your voice heard. Just bring along a driver’s licence, B.C. Services Card, or other photo identification with an address. Canadian citizens over 18 years of age, residents of their electoral districts, and B.C. residents of at least six months, may vote.
Don’t know who to vote for? Check out The Progress’ ultimate election guide online. After this year, your next chances to choose your candidates won’t be for many years. The next two provincial elections are on May 9, 2017, and May 11, 2021.

Hosting B.C. Arts Festival is ‘huge’ for Chilliwack Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
A B.C. arts festival is going to bring the best performers and economic spinoffs to Chilliwack at the end of the month. The organizers are sending out the message that it’s going to take lots more volunteers to help them pull it off smoothly. May 26 to May 30 will mark the first time in decades a Performing Arts BC festival will be hosted by the community of Chilliwack, says Laurie Hirschman, chairperson of the organizing committee. “It’s a huge event!” she told The Progress. Chilliwack Lions Club joined forces with Performing Arts BC (PABC) to host the 2013 event,
described as the “pinnacle” of the arts circuit. “This is the future of the arts,” she said. “These are the kids who even if they don’t win, it inspires them to go on to do even better in their chosen endeavours.” Winners from various regional festivals, like Chilliwack’s, will be streaming into the city to perform and compete in adjudicated sessions of dance and music, and some will go on to the nationals. The main venue will be the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, as well as in a number of Chilliwack churches. Up to 1,500 people are expected to spend $400,000 over the duration of the festival at local businesses, which will boost the local economy while also supporting

performing arts, Hirschman said. Everyone needs accommodations and food, and some people enjoy a little shopping. They’re eager to have more volunteers. They have some, but up to 150 more are needed. “We’re halfway there. We also need the community to sit in the audience. Come see these kids in action. The more supportive the audience, the better they do in competition.” Sponsorships have been forged with partnerships between organizers and local businesses to make the festival a reality. The Opening Gala will be in memory of the late Dorothy Kostrzewa, a beloved city councillor and community volunteer. There will be about five concerts,

as well as the adjudicated competitions Monday to Thursday. “The opening gala being in honour of Dorothy was the wish of an anonymous sponsor, and the Kostrzewa family has graciously agreed to it.” They have to rely heavily on volunteer support because the government funding for the annual festival dried up years ago. “It’s a reflection of where things are going in the arts. But the local support from Chilliwack has been phenomenal.” The extremely talented organizing team has worked very hard to make up for that lack of funding, but they need more volunteers to step forward to help with various tasks, such as ticket-taking, recording secretaries, writers for
dance as well as set up and take down. Go to www.performingartsbc.ca to find out more about the event, including concert times. “Performing Arts BC (formerly the BC Association of Performing Arts Festivals), is a not-for-profit charity which acts as the umbrella organization for 34 regional performing arts festivals throughout the province. The Provincial Festival, also known as ‘The Provincials’, is the eagerly anticipated pinnacle of BC’s festival circuit.” The Opening Gala at the Cultural Centre is on May 26, 7 p.m., $15 or $50 family rate. To volunteer at the fest call Laurie Hirschman at 604 858-3147 or Delia Davies at 604-795-4780.

Scene
Byrd and Kokesh are the Barn Birds and a seventh generation North Carolinian whose songs you likely have heard, even if you haven’t heard Byrd sing them. The Chicago Tribune called him “one of the top 50 songwriters of the last 50 years.â€? The Boston Globe gushed, “This rootsy North Carolinian‌displays John Prine’s gift for stark little songs that tell big, complex stories, Guy Clark’s lean melodicism, Lyle Lovett’s wry mischief, and Bill Morrissey’s knack for the revealing image.â€? Chris Kokesh toured 14 years with the allwoman quartet Misty River. and helped create the signature vocal blend of this Northwest favorite. In July 2010 her latest release, October Valentine, debuted on the Folk DJ charts at #20, and Chris’s stunning songwriting, crystalline vocals, and fiddle and guitar chops distinguish her as a standalone talent. Onstage, Kokesh reveals the
inner workings of her heart with grace and a wry sense of humor. Showtime is 9:30 p.m. Tables at 8. Tickets $20 at Bozzini’s or 604-7920744 to reserve.

Two acclaimed singer-songwriters are coming to Chilliwack for an intimate performance in Bozzini’s upstairs lounge on Friday, May 10. Jonathan Byrd and Chris Kokesh met as teachers at a song academy in Sisters Oregon in 2006. Enamored with Chris’s fiddle-playing and voice, Jonathan invited her to play with him at the Sisters Folk Festival that weekend. They played two encores, and the festival audience voted them the ‘encore ‘performers’ to return the following year. The duo toured the Pacific Northwest and Midwest, and came back to Oregon to make their first recordings in a barn at Sisters. Jonathan and Chris had to stop recording when the birds in the walls erupted in song. They called themselves the Barn Birds. Jonathan Byrd is a preacher’s son, a Gulf War Navy veteran,

Special to The Progress After months of fundraising, on May 5, over a dozen members of the Interact Club of Chilliwack participated in the Chilliwack MS Walk at Strathcona Elementary. These 15 youth between the ages of 14-18 were seen volunteering, walking, and running in the hot sun. The team also managed to raise almost $4000, surpassing their original goal of $2500 and causing them to come in second place out of all the fundraising teams participating in this particular walk. The club would like to give a huge thank-you to those who have supported them in their fundraising efforts, and also to the MS Society for organizing events such as the MS Walk that give members of the community motivation to fundraise for a great cause. For anybody who is interested in joining or would like more information on The Interact Club of Chilliwack, please like their Facebook page or follow them on Twitter (@CInteract). The club meets at the YMCA on Hocking Ave every second Thursday from 7-8:30.

Chilliwack Progress photojournalist, Jenna Hauck, picked up a silver award on April 20 during the annual Ma Murray Community Newspaper Awards at the River Rock Casino in Richmond. Hauck placed second in the B&W Feature Photo category (circulation over 25,000) for her image of Laura Molnar and her three-year-old daughter, Ainsley, dancing outside the Chilliwack Library during Music and More on July 11, 2012. The judge(s) wrote: “It’s a small detail, but the two peoples’ hair swinging out, mirroring each other, gives the image a little extra zip.” The Ma Murray awards recognizes both editorial and advertising aspects of community newspapers and is hosted each year by the B.C. and Yukon Community Newspapers Association.

Diversity a highlight at the Immigrant Business Fair There was a definite international flair to the Immigrant Business Fair held at the Central Elementary Community School’s multipurpose room last Friday night (May 3) . Flags from around the world decorated the space where 27 exhibitors were on hand to showcase a wide range of products and services. Displays included Mexican and Peruvian imports, henna art, beauty products, video production, financial services, cleaning and sewing services, home décor stone , furniture and much more. The A and E Café as well as the British Empire Café provided delectable eastern and western food samples. Also on hand to provide local business, employment and train-
ing information were staff from the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce, Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation, Skills Connect for Immigrants and the local employment services GT Hiring Solutions and Work BC . “We achieved our objectives for the fair,” commented April Neave, Community Programs Director for Chilliwack Community Services. Neave noted that the aim of the event was to create a venue for immigrants to demonstrate the contribution they are making to the local economy, to help newcomers get to know about useful business and employment services in Chilliwack and to bring residents and newcomers together.
About 120 people attended the Immigrant Business Fair. The fair was an initiative under Chilliwack Community Services’ Welcoming Communities Program funded by the Province of BC. Under the program’s common vision to build welcoming and inclusive communities, a local Community Partnership made up of public and private organizations is working with Chilliwack Community Services over the next twelve months “to create awareness of services for newcomers in Chilliwack and build connections and relationships across the community.” Melissa Warren, Welcoming Communities Program Project Coordinator, is pleased with feed-

back she has received about the fair from exhibitors and attendees alike. “We got feedback that people learned about new services, that they enjoyed the diversity and they really liked the community feel to the event. People are asking that there be another fair in the future and that it be held in a larger hall.” The Welcoming Communities Program is one of the more than forty programs offered by Chilliwack Community Services. The agency is an independent local charity organization with offices downtown and in Sardis. Since 1928 the agency has provided caring community services to create opportunities with people to make positive change in their lives.
Seamstress Monica Small had a variety of items on display.

Proper care and feeding of your hanging baskets I’ll stick my neck out and say that a good percentage of all the hanging baskets that look good when first put up will be somewhat less than gorgeous by early summer. The Brian problem Minter is that many folks aren’t really sure how to care for them. They don’t realize that a little bit of soil in a small basket swinging in the wind needs a lot of help to support all kinds of wonderful plants. First, it’s important to water your baskets properly. The secret is simple: water thoroughly every time you water, but don’t water again until the soil is dry. How do you tell? Feel the weight of the basket by putting your hand underneath and pushing it upward. If it weighs a ton, hold off on the water. Once you’ve learned the art of watering, you’ve mastered sixty percent of the technique of growing a good basket. If you use a hose for watering, try a good watering wand with a soft-rain nozzle. Not only is it easier to reach those difficult areas, but you’ll also do a much better job, as this special nozzle prevents soil compaction. Try to water in the morning when the temperature is on the rise, and make sure the foliage is dry in the evening. Another key to a spectacular basket is feeding. Like watering, feeding is an art. In such little soil, hanging basket plants need copious amounts of food and lots of organic matter. When you first start out, it’s important to get some strong vegetative growth. Fast acting soluble liquid fertilizers, like 20-20-20 or 15-30-15 ‘Miracle Gro’, are ideal. They’ve got lots of the three primary nutrients and a good dose of micro-nutrients as well. The best time to feed is immediately after watering. Get into the habit of watering first, then feeding right after. During periods of wet, cool weather avoid both watering and feeding for fear of drowning the plants’ roots. As the weather becomes
warmer and the soil dries out more quickly, you can increase the frequency of feeding. In spite of your best inten-
tions, I would venture to bet that your plants are still going to be hungry. That’s why I always supplement all
basket feedings with a slow release fertilizer. There are many formulations, but a well balanced 14-14-14 fertilizer
will do just fine. One or two tablespoons are all you’ll really need for continuous feeding the rest of the summer. It’s
amazing stuff. All this fertilization will get those plants moving, but don’t forget that you planted

switch to a fertilizer that is low in nitrogen but high in phosphorus and potash. I’m pleased with the results from the fish fertilizer based formulation of Morbloom 0-10-10. It holds the vegetative growth back while allowing lots of blossoms to form. The size of your basket, proper watering and the timing and choice of fertilizers are, believe me, the secrets to success with baskets. Sure you’ve got to dead-head, prune back and occasionally spray for disease and insects, but those three areas are the keys to great looking baskets. Until your baskets acclimatize to outside conditions, it’s important to keep them out of the wind and in the most sheltered spot you have. By taking a little extra care, all your baskets and containers should look fabulous and be even bigger and more beautiful as the summer goes on!

cheerfulness and good humour have made it possible for her to become a champion for others in her situation. When she discovered that she would only be entitled to 15 weeks of EI benefits to support herself through the chemotherapy process, she went public to raise awareness of the plight of people facing life-threatening illnesses. “I was very disappointed to find out my MP had voted against a private members bill to extend EI benefits from 15 to 50 weeks for people like me,” said MacGregor. “I decided to talk to my MLA and to contact The Canadian Cancer Survivors Network to tell my story. No one should be in this position, ever.” The 2010 report of the Canadian Breast Cancer Network reported that some women return to work before they had fully recovered from the side effects of chemotherapy. With only 15 weeks of EI benefits to turn to, there is little alternative for many facing chemotherapy, which can go on for up to 38 weeks. The Canadian Cancer Action Network

Battling breast cancer since mid-September, 2012, Bev MacGregor has now completed her final round of chemotherapy. Throughout this journey, MacGregor has been supported by a close knit group of friends, some of whom she’s known since first grade. These friends have now organized the “Dance for Bev”. This event is not only to raise needed funds for MacGregor as she walks the last mile toward wellness. It is to celebrate MacGregor’s graceful strength throughout the battle she has fought to survive this dreaded illness. Said Dance for Bev organizer, Kathy Hannah: “Bev has inspired us all with her openness about fighting breast cancer and sharing the challenges people facing this illness are confronted with as they undergo therapy.” MacGregor was too ill to attend the last fundraiser, in November. “We’re so grateful Bev will be able to join us this time and celebrate the milestone of completing her chemotherapy.” MacGregor’s resolute

The issues: Agriculture policies Tom Fletcher Black Press
VICTORIA – Relief from carbon tax on farms and promotion of B.C.-grown agricultural products are key promises in the campaign for the May 14 provincial election. The B.C. Liberal Party and the B.C. NDP have argued for a decade about the best way to promote local food consumption. The NDP platform promises to reinstate the “Buy B.C.” program that identifies products grown anywhere in the province. The B.C. Liberal government ended that program, and in 2012 it committed $2 million to regional “Buy Local” promotions that they say are more adaptable to local needs. The party’s current platform promises to double that funding to “promote 50- and 100mile diets.” Neither party is specific about assistance for tree fruit growers. The NDP pledges to “help
orchardists with replanting and other costs,” while the B.C. Liberals offer to “begin work on a permanent and sustainable tree fruit replant program, to be implemented following the current three-year, $2 million program.” In its pre-election budget, the B.C. Liberal government has offered $20 million in carbon tax relief for greenhouse and flower growers, in addition to an exemption for coloured gasoline and diesel used on farms. The B.C. Green Party proposes major reforms, including phasing out synthetic chemical pesticides, banning genetically modified crops such as canola and removing taxes on valueadded B.C. products such as juices and wines. Platform highlights:
• The B.C. Liberals promise a new meat inspection system by 2014, including a new “Certified B.C. Beef” brand. The party also wants to create a “Centre
of Excellence for Agriculture” at the University of the Fraser Valley. • The B.C. NDP promises $8 million per year starting in 2014 for agriculture programs. Plans include pilot programs to use B.C. produce in hospitals and long-term care facilities. • The B.C. Conservative platform promises only to “introduce policies that support, farmers, ranchers and others.” The party emphasizes its pledge to phase out the carbon tax on all fossil fuels, citing its role in poor financial performance by B.C. agriculture relative to the rest of the country. • The B.C. Green Party would prohibit further release of toprated land from the Agricultural Land Reserve, and “provide small grants to support municipalities and school boards that wish to maintain and expand community gardens and urban agriculture.”

Election issue: Forests and logging Tom Fletcher Black Press
The issues: Health care privatization Tom Fletcher Black Press
NDP leader Adrian Dix has promised to repeal the remainder of Bill 29, the legislation that broke union contracts and allowed contracting out of health support services early in the B.C. Liberal term of government. Parts of that legislation were struck down in a 2007 ruling by the Supreme Court of Canada, and the government was forced to pay compensation and consult with unions before any further contracting out of services. In a pre-campaign interview with <I>Guardian</I>, the Hospital Employees’ Union magazine, Dix made no specific commitments. “We are going to need to improve and strengthen the public role if we are going to continue to provide a high level of service, given the federal cuts that are coming to health care in 2014-15,” Dix told the HEU publication. They’re not really cuts. After a string of six-per-cent increases, the growth of
health care transfers is capped at four per cent starting next year. After signing a series of “net zero” contracts with various public service unions in the past year, the B.C. Liberals tabled an election budget proposing to hold health spending growth to two per cent this year. In 2008, the B.C. Liberal government passed amendments to comply with the court ruling that collective bargaining rights are constitutionally protected. The ruling didn’t reverse pay cuts, but ordered payment of $80 million in compensation and retraining, and required negotiations before any further contracting out of health care jobs. Judy Darcy, then secretary-business manager of the HEU and now the NDP candidate in New Westminster, said at the time that the legislation allowed the government and the union to “move on and build some kind of a partnership.” Platform highlights:
• The B.C. Liberals emphasize their legislative change to allow Licensed Practical Nurses to leave the HEU and join the B.C.
Nurses’ Union. The party wants to “partner with hospice societies” to double the number of hospice beds by 2020. • The B.C. NDP distances itself from public-private partnerships to build and run hospitals. It promises to “accelerate” Surrey Memorial Hospital’s critical care expansion “as a public project,” and Dix has said 30-year contracts are too long for health care facilities. • The B.C. Conservative platform criticizes the B.C. Liberals for spending less than the national average on health care, and for raising Medical Services Plan premiums. Party leader John Cummins has joined the B.C. Liberals and NDP in promising an expansion for the 63-yearold Penticton Regional Hospital. • The B.C. Green Party platform promises to “support development of co-ops and social enterprises for the provision of community-based health, social and education services.” It also wants to expand MSP coverage for chiropractic, physiotherapy, eye exams and massage therapy, and impose a junk food tax.
The B.C. Liberals and NDP agree on one thing when it comes to B.C.’s vast forest resource: marketing B.C. wood to Asian markets remains a high priority. Their bitterest disagreement is over log exports, although neither party offers a clear strategy as the May 14 election approaches. The NDP election platform blasts the B.C. Liberals for presiding over a doubling of log exports to 5.7 million cubic metres between 2009 and 2012, with “no plan to curtail the flow. “We will work with stakeholders to reduce raw log exports and create more value-added forestry jobs in British Columbia,” says the NDP platform, repeating its 2009 campaign pledge. The B.C. Liberals tout their success selling lumber to China and Hong Kong, whose share of B.C. lumber exports votes has grown from 6.6 2013 per cent in 2006 to 32.6 per cent in 2011. The B.C. Liberals say their marketing partnership with Ottawa and the forest industry has sold enough lumber to keep 16 mills operating. votes “Banning exports of unprocessed 3 won’t 201logs solve timber access issues for mills, especially coastal ones,” the B.C. Liberal platform says. “Our preference is to have logs milled here at home, but log exports are a key component to growing our coastal forest economy and keeping people employed in British Columbia.” The Coastal Forest Products Association tes abroad argues that each high-grade log vosold supports harvest of two more logs 3 go to 201that domestic sawmills.

NDP promises a $100 million investment over five years to double the number of seedlings planted and update forest inventories. The party has revived a proposal for a “jobs protection commissioner” to help adapt to reduced timber supply due to pine beetle damage. • The B.C.

Green Party proposes to offer low-interest start-up loans “to encourage small, labour-intensive ecoforestry.” It also wants to hold an inquiry into “stumpage manipulation,” and “accelerate tenure reform to require no less than 50 per cent of public forest tenures be held by First Nations woodlots and communities by the year 2019.”

Rachel was estranged from her family and the baby’s father was long gone. She struggled with depression and overwhelmed with getting the basics she needed to put her life back on track. Housing, food, school, prenatal care. A wary introduction to the CCS Young Parent Support Worker started the gears in motion. A one-on-one counseling appointment quickly evolved to finding a safe place to live, registering for school, navigating the bus system, and attending prenatal education and nutrition classes. Five months later, Rachel gave birth to a healthy baby boy. She continued to receive support for post-partum depression, accessing counseling, finding housing, attending parenting classes and exploring post-secondary options. Over the summer, Rachel socialized with other young moms making new friends and cementing a support circle she never dreamed possible. At Christmas, CCS Youth Services and Better Beginnings parties surprised Rachel with gifts for both her and her baby … a Christmas she will never forget. Today, Rachel and her baby are thriving. The isolated, depressed teen of just over a year ago has made significant positive changes in her life.

Five years ago, I thought I was busy. I was growing my fitness career, fitting in my own workouts, spending time with my husband, taking care of the day-to-day household duties such as making dinner and grocery shopping, and going on fun adventures such as backpacking and camping. Then, I added ‘mom’ to my job title. If you’re a mom, you understand the challenges of raising kids, up keeping a household, being a wife and if you’re part of 70% of moms who also work outside of the home, you’re also pursuing your career. Whether you have family nearby to help you out, or if you have the added test of being a single parent, being a mom can be challenging. Fitting in time for you is not easy; but what’s much more challenging than the logistics of making time, is the ‘mommy-guilt’ that lingers when you put your own needs first. Giving into the guilt eventually takes its toll. Years of constant giving can result in burnout, fatigue, weight gain, and unhappiness for

‘letting things go’. If you find that you sacrifice taking care of yourself for the sake of your family, pay attention. You can, and you deserve to have it all. You can have the career, the quality time with your kids, dates with your Tanja husSHAW band and the fit body. You just need to kiss the mommy-guilt good bye. There are two very important reasons why, as a mom, you must take care of yourself. 1. Taking care of yourself- that means getting regular exercise, nourishing your body, and doing things that make you happy (such as reading a good book, or connecting with a friend over coffee)- will make you a better mom. With the extra energy, you’ll be more equipped to handle the day-to-day challenges of motherhood. You’ll be more patient, understanding, and be ready to play. 2. You’ll be a positive role model for your kids. Kids learn by observing- and there’s no better way for
them to learn healthy lifestyle habits than to watch their parents. At an early age, your kids will learn that exercise is a part of a daily routine, just like brushing your teeth. I feel proud when my son Jacob asks me if I am all done my exercise, or when he joins me for a set of push-ups. Instead of feeling guilty, be delighted that you can be an example of good health to your kids. Now that you have good reason to kibosh the guilt- fitting in a workout can still be a challenge. Here are a few tips and tricks to get your workout in: • Schedule time into your calendar. Just like a dentist appointment or meeting, your workout time needs to be planned. If you have trouble keeping accountable to your workouts, a workout partner or fitness coach can help keep you on track. • Shorten your workouts. With a welldesigned workout, you go from warm up to stretching in less than 30 minutes, and get results. • Remember that ANYTHING is better than nothing. I have fallen prey to the ‘what’s the point of working out when I only have 15 minutes’ mindset. Then I remind myself what I
would tell my clients. Any amount of activity is better than nothing. • Workout during your kids’ activities. While you likely want to watch your child’s activities from time to time, it’s also the perfect opportunity to fit in your workout. You can swim laps during your child’s swim lesson, or go for a run during dance class. • When you can’t go at it alone, make it a family affair. Kids love to move. From a family bike ride, to a game of chase at the park, to a dance party in your living room, enjoy being active with your kids. You can also out other options such as mom and kid and mom and baby fitness classes. Instead of feeling guilty for not being Super-Mom all the time, be proud to be a fit and healthy mom. By taking care of yourself, even if it takes time away from your family, you’ll be a better mom, and a positive role model. I wish you a very happy Mothers Day!

Great Outside
New column explores Chilliwack’s ‘Great Outside’ If you are looking for adventure this spring and summer you won’t have to go far. Our municipal slogan, “Chilliwack, The great Outside” couldn’t be more to the point for recognizing what we have right here in our backyard. Chilliwack has the full slate of outdoor sports to choose from, whether it be kayaking or rafting on our world class whitewater rivers, Sam mountain biking on Vedder Mountain’s Waddington elaborate trail network, or hiking, mountaineering, trail running, canyoneering, paddle boarding, canoeing, or rock climbing. We might not get the publicity of our mountain town neighbors like Squamish and Banff however don’t let that fool you into thinking that we don’t have something good going on here. As the population of Chilliwack continues to grow we are seeing an increase in the number of people recreating in our backcountry areas and coming to discover everything that our local outdoors has to offer. Many people are moving to the upper Fraser Valley and calling Chilliwack home, in large part due to the proximity to our amazing outdoors and the livable community that this asset creates. With increased use we have seen a bolstering of the advocacy effort for trail maintenance and

outdoor recreation infrastructure to help to make our backcountry accessible. With May upon us and this recent bout of balmy weather, its hard not to look to the mountains and plan a day in the backcountry. For many of us this winter has been packed with snowshoeing, skiing, boarding and other forms of frolicking in seemingly endless pillows of coastal powder, and so the transition to spring sports comes with torn emotions. However its time to begin to pack away our winter gloves and skis and dust off our tents and packs in anticipation for the summer that seems to be upon us. Are you wary of heading into the mountains with snow still covering the peaks? Fear not, there are a number of fantastic lowland hikes that will get you back into the hiking groove, or for the more adventurous, strap on some snowshoes and bring along sunscreen and enjoy the wonders of spring snowpack in the Cascade Mountains. This column will keep you informed on everything outdoor recreation and highlight some of the events, completions, regattas and trail days happening in your community. Chilliwack is finally coming into its own as a recreation hotspot and we’ll do our best to help you stay abreast of the action. Sam Waddington is owner of Mt.

Playing in the Pressure Cooker No matter what the situation, there are some key ways to help players of every skill level play through pressure, writes Jennifer Greggain
Howard Brandt is a volunteer and sprint-hurdles coach with the Chilliwack Track and Field Club. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
The importance of starting fast For the third year in a row, the Chilliwack Progress and Sardis secondary school’s Grade 10 honours English class have partnered up for the ‘Let’s Get Published’ project. Guided by teacher Brad Geary, students write sportsrelated articles, with the best ones getting published in the Progress sports section.
Jennifer Wiebe, Sardis secondary
Bang! As the starter’s gun goes off, the sprinters react by throwing themselves forward. For all sprinters, the few moments right after the signal are the most important of their whole race. When the athletes bound out of the blocks,
they are setting the bar for the rest of the race. Timing is everything, and split seconds impact the outcome. Before a race begins, athletes need to physically and mentally prepare themselves. Many athletes, like Chilliwack’s Afton Ser vatius eliminate nervousness by tr ying to forget about the race. However, when she hears the starter say, ‘on your mark,’ the nerves return. Entering the blocks, her mind goes blank. As she waits for the gun to go off, her nerves take away about 10 percent of her concentration. Ser vatius hopes that the starter (most likely her coach Howard Brandt) will shoot the gun relatively quickly. A long wait in the blocks could cause her to lose focus and mess up. A slow start makes it necessary to try to catch up to her competitors in later parts of the race. After the completion of the strenuous sprint, her mental turmoil briefly eases up. Soon, she begins to worry again, this time about her placing and time. It takes a while for the
results to be posted, but when they are, Servatius is reassured, especially each time she views a new personal best. Brandt, her coach, volunteers at the Chilliwack Track and Field Club. As a young athlete, Brandt participated in sprint events, inspired by track athletes at the 1968 Mexico Olympics. When he was no longer able to compete, he turned his skills to coaching and officiating, deciding to give back to the sport. A starter at many track meets, Brandt has experience involving block starts and comprehends the vital role they play in a race. Brandt’s expertise is well put to use as he officiates meets. The most enjoyable part for him, as a starter, is shooting the gun. He needs to ensure that the athletes remain absolutely still as they crouch in the blocks, waiting for the signal. If the athletes take too long to stop moving as they wait for the gun, Brandt must tell them to stand up. It is important, however, for athletes to hold their ‘set’ position right away, so an excellent start can
he achieved as a result of an optimal waiting time in the blocks. During this short period of time, athletes need to be absolutely focused on the sound of the gun. Brandt recalls an event in which a small boy caused Donovan Bailey, gold medalist of the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, as well as his competitors, to false start by merely quietly saying ‘go.’ Intense focus like this is crucial for the rest of the race; Brandt relates that a start is worth about 60 percent of a race. Bounding off the line and speedily accelerating is necessary during the first 20 metres. If this is not done successfully, the rest of the race will be a struggle. Once a block start is mastered, it can be extremely useful in other sports because of the quick reflexes involved. And who knows; maybe being skilled at block starts could prove useful when trying to accomplish anything where a quick reaction is needed. Quick reactions in the blocks are advantageous for any sprint athlete, as they can make the difference between placing first and being defeated.
Ever y golfer has felt the nervous butterflies on the golf course. It may be a different situation for everyone, but we have all felt it. For some people, you may have felt nervous the first time you were paired with a group you didn’t know. Or, if you were teeing off on the first tee, and the group behind you was watching. Or for some of the more accomplished golfers, perhaps you are about to shoot the lowest round of your career, and you are now standing on the 18th tee facing a difficult tee shot. No matter what the situation, there are some key ways to help players of every skill level play through pressure. Most people realize that their performance is affected by their state of mind, but many don’t understand how to play through it. First of all, to believe that you can play without being nervous in a tough situation is actually false. There may be many situations where you will find yourself feeling a little bit uncomfortable over a particular shot you’re about to play. That’s to be expected. Do you think the best players in the world are completely comfortable with the amount of pressure they play under? The key is to forget about tr ying not to be ner vous. Instead, you will need to learn how to cope through playing in uncomfortable situations by focusing on the process of the shot, not the outcome. One way to help with this is to understand your tendencies when you get ner vous. Many players tend to increase their ten-
sion levels when under pressure. We all know that any tension in the golf swing is detrimental, so be sure to keep your hands, arms and body relaxed. For other players, their ner vous tendencies are reflected through their tempo. Some will speed up their tempo, others may slow down. Be sure to understand which are your tendencies, and give yourself a playing goal for the round that addresses it. For example, “today I am going to make a smooth accelerating swing in every shot I hit, no matter what the situation.” Be careful not to make a “technical” swing focus for the golf course. I find that “tempo” and “feel” goals are much better. Then, be sure to evaluate your performance on every shot based on if you accomplished this goal, not where the ball ends up. In this way, you are distracting your brain away from dwelling on the outcome of the shot, and more on the process of the shot. You will find that the more swings you make that accomplish this swing focus, the fewer and less dramatic mistakes you will make. Hopefully this will help you play through nervous situations, and thus play more enjoyable golf.

Surrey Eagles claim Western Canada Cup Greg Sakaki Black Press
B.C.’s best team is also Western Canada’s best. The Surrey Eagles won the Western Canada Cup on Saturday night in Nanaimo, defeating the Brooks Bandits 4-1 at Frank Crane Arena. “At the beginning of the season, if you asked me if we would have won, it wouldn’t have crossed my mind,” said Demico Hannoun, Surrey’s player of the game. “But it’s a great feeling right now.” The B.C. Hockey League champions calmly killed off a number of penalties and continued to build a lead on the Alberta champs as the game progressed. Jordan Klimek, Hannoun, Drew Best and Craig Wyszomirski scored for the Eagles with Cam Maclise responding for the Bandits. Shots ended up 41-30 in favour of Brooks as Surrey goalie Michael Santaguida had another strong game. “I thought we did a good job of keeping
it simple,” said Matt Erhart, Eagles coach. “There was a lot of off the glass and out, but in doing that we trapped some guys down in the zone and our forwards did a good job, once we gained possession, to play with speed.” Brett Mulcahy, Eagles captain, said his team’s depth on both for ward and defence were factors, along with shut-down goaltending. “Ever yone contributed, it seemed, just what they needed to do – scoring, blocking shots, getting pucks out of the zone,” he said. “It was a great team effort.” The captain lifted the Western Canada
Cup trophy in celebration after the game, and indeed the Eagles have much to celebrate – the victor y gives them a berth in the Royal Bank Cup national championships in Summerside, P.E.I. “It’s huge. It’s pretty exciting winning anything, for that matter, but it’s just another stepping stone for us,” Mulcahy said. “We’ll enjoy it tonight but get refocused for the next few days and take a crack at the RBC Cup.”

X willing to share just yet, Virgo. That’s alright. Keeping some of your agenda private will inspire curiosity and be to your advantage. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may be trying to get a certain person alone so you can have some oneon-one time together. A rendezvous is possible this week. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you are at an impasse because you are second-guessing some of your most recent decisions. You may need to shift your focus to get back on track.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, there is a certain window of time this week when you will be extremely efficient and effective. The other times you may as well throw in the towel. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you have to work out a few loose ends before you are free for a much-needed vacation or just time spent doing whatever it is that makes you happy. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, sometimes love can cause pain, but this is the way to grow and learn from mistakes. There are lessons to be learned in a few days.
