Single bullet ends cougar threat Alina Konevski The Progress An aggressive cougar that forced the closure of Teapot Hill last week was shot and killed at the edge of Entrance Bay Campground in Cultus Lake Provincial Park on Thursday. The animal was “holding hostage” a family of four, including two young girls on the Seven Sisters trail, about 20 metres up from the campground. The cougar was hissing and growling. “It was actually really close to the trail and wouldn’t let the people come down,” said conservation officer Sgt. Steve Jacobi.

Local B.C. Parks ranger, Robert Wilson, immediately responded to the emergency call, which came in just before 3 p.m. With 9-1-1 operators on the phone, Wilson was first on scene. He fired one shot, killing the cougar instantly. “I just assessed the situation, made sure it would be safe to shoot it, and unfortunately had to do exactly that,” said Wilson. “Obviously, I would much rather have to deal with killing a cougar than trying to explain to some parents why we allowed the cougar to continue on with this pattern of aggressive behaviour, and had that opportunity, and not take it, and have it hurt a small child or a

small pet.” Authorities received about a dozen complaints about an aggressive cougar in less than two days, which Jacobi said is “extremely rare.” The animal caused chaos on Wednesday when it approached several hikers in a threatening fashion. The cougar chased one woman, causing the evacuation and closure of the Teapot Hill trail. People saw the cougar passing through campgrounds at Cultus Lake Wednesday night and Thursday morning. “After that, we started bringing out the bloodhounds, and chasing the cougar, and trying to find it,”

said Jacobi. The chase has now ended. “We’re confident that this is the one that’s been causing the grief over the past couple of days,” said Jacobi. The cougar is about 18 months old, thin, and weighs 30 to 40 pounds. It was likely recently set loose by its mother, and was trying to figure out roaming territory. Authorities haven’t checked yet if it is a male or female. “Due to its obvious emaciation, it looks like it was having trouble finding actual food,” said Wilson. “It was looking for easy prey, and people’s dogs are typically easy Continued: COUGAR/ p4

The gas detection meter is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. It’s already making a big difference for fire crews in the Chilliwack River Valley, who are sometimes required to enter a space filled with dangerous gases. Chilliwack River Valley Fire Department crews are now able to detect these substances with the specialized equipment, thanks to a recent donation by the Chilliwack Kiwanis Club. “It’s quite a valuable tool because the substances it detects, we can’t always see,” said Mike Danyluk, assistant chief with the CRVFD. The meters are designed to warn fire crews of the presence of gases, from dangerously low oxygen levels to leaks from flammable gas, carbon monoxide, H2S and more. Two gas detection meters and a calibration device were just purchased with $2,200 donated by the Kiwanis to CRV Fire Department. “We work on a very limited budget as a volunteer fire department,” Danyluk said. “There are often unexpected expenses like this.” It’s reassuring to know they’re covered now. “When we go to these calls now, we will enter the environment with full oxygen tanks on. “We’ll bring along the detector

No ‘showdown’ with teachers, education minister says Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government is pressing ahead with its goal of a 10-year agreement with B.C. teachers, appointing a “public administrator” to replace school trustees on the board of their provincial bargaining agency. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the change is temporary, and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association will continue to play an important

role in talks with teachers and support staff. BCPSEA will be under the direction of Michael Marchbank, CEO of the Hospital Employers’ Association, when talks with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation resume in September. Fassbender’s announcement surprised school trustees around the province. He said he spoke to or left messages for trustees on the BCPSEA executive before making the announcement in Vancouver Wednesday. The move is to meet a demand

of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to bargain directly with the B.C. government, Fassbender said. The government also intends to eliminate essential services rules that keep schools open with minimum staff during strikes. Fassbender denied the suggestion he is setting up a “showdown” with teachers that would shut down schools and turn the public against unions. The structural change is needed to achieve the stability for students and parents promised by Premier Christy

Clark, he said. “It’s not about pitting them against us,” Fassbender said. “It’s about finding a new road map where we can achieve that goal.” A two-year contract extension and wage freeze imposed by the government on teachers expired at the end of June. Jim Iker, who took over this spring as BCTF president, told CKNW radio Thursday his union isn’t opposed to a long-term settlement, as long as more resources are there to improve classroom conditions.

The BCTF is returning to court this fall to seek restoration of bargaining for class size and special needs support. School support staff represented by the Canadian Union of Public Employees are to resume negotiations for a new contract this month, after walking away last spring because their negotiators didn’t believe BCPSEA had an adequate mandate to get a settlement. CUPE employees have not had a raise in four years.

Underground tanks can lead to expensive problems Alina Konevski The Progress When Brian Fryer’s 97-year-old mother tried to sell her downtown Chilliwack home, she discovered that there was an old heating oil tank buried under her backyard. The potential buyer wouldn’t take the property until the tank was removed. It cost the Fryers $20,000 and a lot of headache to get it done. This is a common problem throughout the province. In Chilliwack, there are potentially hundreds of such tanks still buried in private backyards, most of them rusted; half may be leaking leftover oil. Homes built before the city switched to natural gas heating – sometime in the 1950s or ‘60s – generally used oil furnaces or wood burning stoves. For these older homes, the city has 370 permits on file that relate to installing underground and above ground oil burning equipment. A city official confirmed that some oil tanks may have been installed for which there are no permits. When the large steel tanks corrode or the welding tears apart, leftover oil can leak into soil. The longer the tank stays in, the higher the risk of a leak, and the higher the eventual cost of remediation. Although there is no legal requirement to remove them, insurance companies in Chilliwack will not insure a home that still has an oil tank. Present owners are solely responsible for removing tanks and remediating soil, with the help of private contractors. Of the 10 tanks that Tri-City Tank Tech Ltd. removed from Chilliwack backyards in the last year or so, six had leaked. The company charges $1,500 to $3,000 for a clean removal. But for those where soil has been contaminated, the cost for digging out the affected soil has been anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000. Another contractor, CERC Oil Tank Removal, has removed about a dozen tanks from Chilliwack in the last few years, about half of which were leaking oil. Average cost for cleanup has been $5,000 to $10,000.

Family rescued from Vedder Mountain Eric Welsh The Progress

Brian Fryer had to help his mother deal with the removal of a buried oil tank in her yard when she sold her house last year in Chilliwack. The oil tanks are commonly found on properties with houses built in the mid20th century, like this neighbourhood. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

In such cases, contractors need to remove several bins of soil, of 8–12 tonnes each. “Until you start digging, you don’t know how far this can go,” said CERC owner Fabio Chiesa. Much higher costs have hit the news in other municipalities. A North Vancouver owner had to pay $90,000 to remove a tank and remediate the surrounding soil last August. In 2011, a West Vancouver owner got stuck with a $224,000 bill for soil remediation, which she fought in court and managed to get lowered in a settlement. As an industry standard, insurance companies do not cover removal or cleanup of heating oil tanks, according to broker HUB International Barton, which works with 12 insurance providers in Chilliwack. Such tanks trigger an exclusion in comprehensive coverage because oil is considered a pollutant. For prospective home buyers and current owners, there are a few signs that indicate a buried tank.

w IN

The most common is a fill pipe about two inches in diameter, sticking up from the ground in the yard. It could be about a foot high, or may have been sawed off to just a few inches. Another is a vent pipe on the side of a house, about 8-10 feet long. If there’s a pipe that owners can’t explain, it may lead to an oil tank, advised Chiesa. A third are two copper feed lines coming out of the floor in the furnace room. The lines would have been capped or cut off, and would connect to a tank. Contractors that offer tank detection services will often bring in a large metal detector to scan the yard. The city of Chilliwack has not recorded oil tank removals, and does not require permits for removals or related soil remediation. Other municipalities are moving towards more regulation of the tank removal industry. West Vancouver, Surrey, Burnaby, and Delta now require a permit for removals, and

soil tests are mandatory, according to Chiesa. akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/alinakonevski

It can cost up to $3,000 to have an old heating oil tank removed. SUBMITTED

Chilliwack Search and Rescue successfully plucked a family of four off Vedder Mountain last Saturday after they got lost in the wilderness. A mom, dad and two children went for a day hike, but got lost on the way back to their car. Thankfully, they had a cell phone with service, and at 8:06 p.m. they called the police for help. The Summer Policing Unit responded first, but they quickly realized they needed SAR expertise to get the family off the mountain. SAR took nearly two hours to find them. “The family was very appreciative and thankful of the efforts of the SAR team,” said Cst. Gary Parrish of the Summer Policing Unit. “These volunteers can always be counted on, and they give selflessly of their time. We certainly appreciate what they do!” Parrish said the incident should serve as a reminder to be prepared, even when heading out on short and seemingly harmless hikes. “Stay on marked trails and bring food, water, clothing and a cell phone with you,” he advised. “And ensure that you tell someone where you are going, and when you are expected back.”

prey. As it continued to grow more and more desperate for food, it (showed) escalating behaviour, approaching campsites with people in them. At the end there, on a small trail, (it was) actually refusing to allow people with small children to go by.” According to Jacobi, such behaviour is very unusual. Cougars will

generally assess people and leave. “But it was trying to attack dogs, even when they were on a leash, and acting extremely aggressive, and bold,” said Jacobi. “Cougar attacks on people are rare, but when they act like this, and get this bold, that’s the type of cougar we need to get out of the population.” Authorities always put down aggressive

wildlife, such as cougars or black bears, rather than relocating them. Cougars remain a public safety threat even when moved to less urban areas. “We do not relocate cougars... It’s threatening to humans. It’s a public safety threat. So that’s why we take it out of the population,” said Jacobi. “There are no wilds in British Columbia to take cougars that they’re not going to encounter people. There isn’t anywhere safe to take them, when they’re acting like that.” Relocated cougars often don’t survive, and in this case it would have been a “death sentence.” “It would be torture to relocate a cougar. They’re not going to adapt to a new habitat. Even a black bear, the success rate on relocating a black bear isn’t very high...It’s very, very hard on them,” said Jacobi. Surrey resident Jacquie Stebner, a longtime camper in the area,

witnessed the cougar’s death. She thinks she saw the animal a couple of nights earlier at the campground and thought it was a raccoon or a bobcat because of its small size. “It’s sad. It’s for the best, but it’s still sad,” said Stebner. “I’m on the verge of tears. But it can’t be helped. We are in their territory, but there are children.” The cougar will be inspected, after which it will likely be donated to a local First Nations group. Authorities immediately re-opened the Teapot Hill hiking trail on Thursday. Jacobi emphasized that cougars are common in the area. “It’s fairly common for cougars to be in the entire Columbia Valley. It’s a great deer population in here. Rabbits, everything else. There are lots of cougars that come through here, and live in this area. But there’s not usually a conflict,” said Jacobi.

along the detector and complete a thorough investigation.” It’s especially helpful if they have to enter buildings that have housed grow-ops or meth labs. “There are often dangerous chemicals, which can reduce the oxygen in the room. This offers another element of protection.” An audible tone goes off and an LED light is activated on the unit if the atmosphere in any space becomes dangerous to breathe. “It’s crucial to have access to one of these. We could be compromising our safety if we entered without one.” The fire department had one detector prior to receiving these ones, but when it was damaged and on the blink, they didn’t have the budget replace it. Having two will help them respond appropri-

ately when needed. One will be stored on the CRVFD rescue truck, while the other will be on the ‘first-out’ fire engine. The assistant chief figures they’ll be employed 12 to 15 times per year, or about once a month. The fatal incident at a mushroom farm in Langley in 2008, where three workers succumbed to toxic gases that had pooled in a shed, is the type of scenario the fire department official said they hope to avoid with the new equipment. The fire department even got to try out their gas detection meter on a recent call. A CRV resident had called 9-1-1 as required when they smelled gas. Turned out the natural gas meter was broken and leaking. They were evacuated and the crews were safe.

Progress digitization project moving ahead Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack Museum and Archives officials say they are more than halfway through the first part of the Chilliwack Progress Digitization Project. The goal of the project is the transformation more than 90 years of Progress newspaper files into digital format. Commonwealth Imaging is the specialized Alberta company tasked with scanning back issues of the Progress, from 1891 to 1947 in the first batch. “The quality is just outstanding,” said Museum archivist Shannon Bettles. “Because they are using the microfilm negatives, it means the quality of the searchable files will be the very best.” The Progress is the oldest newspaper published continuously under the same name in Canada. So for the history-oriented museum, the Progress back issues constitute the oldest and most important written record collection on Chilliwack. The plan is to get the whole shebang online and searchable by the public from anywhere in the world. The next batch of files, from 1948

up to 1981 is currently being digitized. The way it works is that the Progress microfilm negatives are turned into high-resolution TIFF files, and then reformatted into PDFs in preparation for being uploaded to the web in the Chilliwack Progress Digitization Project. A digital copy of the files will be housed at the Archives on Corbould Street, and officials are hoping to offer a dedicated computer station for the public to search from, in relatively short order. Global access to the Progress files will be greatly improved, once everything is scanned and converted to PDF format, and the museum will also be preserving the hardcopy newspapers and microfilm. The Ir ving Barber Learning Centre at UBC provided a grant of $15,000 for the Chilliwack Progress Digitization Project, along with $5,000 green-lighted by the Chilliwack Foundation and another $5,000 from the City of Chilliwack, approved under Community Development Initiatives funding.

The shooting of a young cougar found prowling the trails of Cultus Lake was unfortunate, but necessary. The animal had demonstrated behaviour that could easily have ended tragically for the many families who enjoy those trails daily. It had threatened hikers, and showed no fear of the people it encountered. When that happens, the outcome for the animal is certain. For many, this seems harsh. They argue the animal could have been trapped or tranquilized and relocated to a distant part of the province. Some even suggest a zoo. If only the answers were that easy. Cougars are extraordinarily territorial and travel vast regions to secure and protect their hunting zones. Relocating the young cougar found near Cultus Lake would simply have introduced it into another animal’s territory. Its hunting skills were immature, and the cat likely would have starved to death. Or, more likely, the cougar would have found its way back to the more profitable edges of our urban encroachment. It is here (where the more mature animals have learned to avoid) that a young cougar might hope to establish a territory. Dining on docile family pets, it soon learns it has little to fear from their human owners. And although it is rare for cougars to attack humans, they certainly will – particularly children. The cougar that was shot Thursday was lurking at the edge of a popular campground prior to the start of one of the busiest weekends of the summer. It was a small animal, but its potential for harm was still great. Three years ago a larger, more mature cougar broke into a pen in Ryder Lake. In a flash it killed 11 sheep, their throats crushed by the animal’s powerful jaws. It would be nice to think that simply relocating a habitualized cougar would solve the problem. However, few would want the responsibility of knowing a cougar relocated to the wild had returned and killed or maimed a child. It’s a tough call to shoot such a magnificent animal. But authorities made the right one. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Tragedy shines a light on postpartum depression I remember giving birth to my first child in England in 1967. Like almost every new mother, I was unsure, anxious, happy but at the same time filled with self-doubt as to whether I was doing all the right things. You want to be the perfect mom, right? But somewhere in the chaos of that first week or two, reality crashes in. Round the clock feedings led to being sleep deprived and the constant tiredness only added to the overwhelming emotions that come with a newborn. They were bundled into the baggage called the baby blues. Get over it, young moms were told which, translated, meant quit complaining. And with that old-school, slight-of-hand dismissal, the stigma of baby blues and the more complex postpartum depression were left to drift unchecked through the years and the decades. So when the tragic story of Lisa

Gibson broke, it was a horrific reminder of the extremes of postpartum depression. Gibson’s body was recovered from the Red River in Winnipeg, Manitoba just over a week ago. She disappeared after her two children, two-year-old Anna and three-monthold Nicholas, were found unresponsive in the family home and died in Margaret hospital. EVANS According to media reports, Gibson had sought help for postpartum depression and that condition is still part of the police investigation. The baby blues, postpartum depression and the very rare condition of postpartum psychosis are complex conditions that may start shortly after the birth of the baby.

PPD can also be experienced after a miscarriage, a stillbirth or the adoption of a baby. And the condition is more common than realized. According to the Pacific Post Partum Support Society, one in six women experiences troubling depression or anxiety which becomes stressful for the whole family. That’s a lot of new moms. And just for the record, PPD can affect new dads too. The condition is often characterized by despondency, emotional instability, anger, guilt, tearfulness, worrying, anxious thoughts or images, feelings of inadequacy or the inability to cope. But what causes these debilitating moods and emotions is unclear. Profoundly changing hormones during and after pregnancy are often sited but unaffected women experience the same shifting hormones and dads suffering PPD

obviously don’t have any hormone swings at all. There are many contributing factors that could lead to PPD but a few might include formula feeding rather than breast feeding (which aids bonding and a healthy connection with the baby), pre-existing stresses, marital problems or poor relationships which can trigger a sense of isolation, and a history of depression. Then there is a reluctance to talk about feelings for fear of being judged a poor or inadequate mother. Postpartum psychosis is a separate mental condition which is far more serious and quite rare. A new mother may suffer confusion, disturbing self-harming thoughts, delusions, hallucinations, and disorganized speech. Treatment is essential as the condition won’t go away without medical intervention and continuous close support. PPD is still one of those elusive

conditions that stubbornly carries a stigma to it although, luckily, it is fading. Addressing PPD involves recognizing the symptoms as early as possible, getting medical advice, enlisting a hands-on partner/family/friends support network, adequate diet, consistent sleep patterns (which is where the support network comes in) and close monitoring. Almost all moms get over the condition within a relatively short time as routines and coping strategies get established. In addition, the Pacific Post Partum Society (www.postpartum. org) offers help and support just a phone call away (toll-free 855-2557999). There really is an ah-ha moment when moms realize they can cope. Tragically, it didn’t happen for Lisa Gibson but in her memory is an opportunity for compassionate understanding for all mothers and their babies.

NDP won’t raise cement plant tax Re: “NDP soul search going nowhere” (B.C. Views, Aug. 1). Climate change is a reality, and bold political leadership is needed to address it. During the election campaign, New Democrats put forward a plan to expand the base of the carbon tax to include venting emissions from oil and gas operations, capturing an additional five per cent of carbon emissions in the prov-

ince, but that plan didn’t include all industrial process emissions. We believe that government should work with the oil and gas sector to make sure companies pay their fair share for the emissions they produce. This is particularly important as the B.C. Liberal government pursues an aggressive schedule of LNG expansion which, if realized, will make it nearly impossible for

the government to reach our legal emission reduction requirements. New Democrats will hold the government to account for their green promises, and continue to advocate for policies that help reduce emissions and spur efficiency, innovation and best practices.

Service at city hall applauded After living in the Langley city area for over 20 years we decided, just over four years ago, to move to Chilliwack. We chose to move to Chilliwack to escape the rapidly increasing downtown traffic and heat due to rampant densification, aka city-cramming, as well as the resultant tree and green space removal. It’s quite amaz-

ing that common sense didn’t rear its head before tempers and temperatures rose in that lovely little city and ruined a very nice area. As often happens upon moving to a new area, one has the good fortune to experience the new locale through eyes uncluttered by personal history and biases. While here we have had occasion

to visit the city’s offices to ‘Render unto Caesar’ our required taxes, utility bills, etc. One of the many pleasant surprises we have found here in Chilliwack is the civility and professionalism practiced by the city hall folks. The service given harkens back to the days when public service employees were not only proud of the job they did but passed

Rules of the road can mean life or death I have read the two previous articles regarding bicycles and rules of the road, and both agree and disagree with parts of both. I ride my bike everyday to work from Sardis to Downtown Chilliwack and I take Evans all the way there, as there is a bike lane. There have been numerous times where I have almost been hit and been hit by vehicles driven by people running a red lights, on the phone or drifting into the bike lane, following me with less than six feet of stopping distance behind me around Evans traffic circle. Yes, that’s right I go around the traffic circle. Little do most drivers know that the posted signs indicate to “Share the road”. I do not impede traffic going around the traffic circle I integrate into traffic with well distanced hand signals, and with a break in the traffic flow to allow me to safely merge.

I follow the rules of the road, I use the whole lane to get me around the 125 feet to the bike lane on the other side. That’s all I want of the lane and will give it right back to the motorists. It’s when drivers in their 2,000pound vehicles think they have no accountability to me that I take exception. Believe me when I say I have no problems making drivers aware of their cooperation. It comes down to a mutual respect. If the cyclists and drivers follow the rules of the road, and allow each other a safe and allowable distance, we all get home safely. It pays to be aware of road signs, not be on your phone, and not to speed. A driver in a 2,000pound vehicle can kill me on my 40-pound bike if these simple rules are ignored. See you out there.

this attitude on to their fellow citizens through quick and thorough assistance at the various counters at our local city hall. I have a feeling that this is a reflection of the people living here and this bodes well for the city. We look forward to further discovering what else the area has to offer in the future.

Side-by-side riding on roadways illegal While this is a timely reminder to both drivers and cyclist it should be noted that J. Peters was incorrect in the assumption that riding side by side is legal. According to the BC Motor Vehicle Act Section 183 (2) d, it is illegal to ride side by side on the roadway. Although riding side by side is legal on the shoulder of highways, it is recommended that side-by-side cycling be limited to where there are wide shoulders and the weather is clear.

Historic farm house celebrates its centennial Jenna Hauck The Progress A 100-year-old piece of Chilliwack history will be home again to one of its original residents. Sixty years after moving out of her family home on a dairy farm in the mid ’50s, Marie Weeden is returning with her husband, Dick. The history of the farm site itself goes back even further. The original 450-acre plot of land owned by the Wells family has gone through a lot of changes over its 146 years. In 1867, Allen Wells, the great-grandfather of Weeden, purchased the vast property and built a dairy farm on it, known as Edenbank Farm. It was located in Sardis, on the west side of Vedder Road near Spruce Drive. In 1913, Weeden’s grandfather, Edwin Wells, tore down the original farmhouse and built the current Edenbank house with wife Gertrude, all while raising a young family. Weeden’s father, Oliver, was just six years old at the time and he grew up on the farm with his four brothers. “Oliver wanted to be a farmer so he continued on the farm,” says Weeden. In 1931, Oliver got married to

Sara McKeil. They had a small family of two daughters — Marie (1935) and older sister Betty (1933). When Weeden was a child, she and her friends used to roller skate in the attic. Marie moved out in the 1950s and eventually became the owner of the family home. When she moved back in the ’70s, she papered the walls with old newspapers that her family had kept about the history of the Fraser Valley. Over the years, it was mostly members of the Wells’ family who lived there until the ’70s. In 1981, the property was sold to Chilliwack’s Brodel Development Corp., owned by Eldon Unger, who turned 12 acres of the land, surrounding the house, into a multi-housing subdivision for adults aged 55 and older. The 1913 farmhouse now stands tall in the middle of the adult-oriented complex, appropriately known as Edenbank. The house has since been transformed from a residential building into the complex’s clubhouse all while maintaining the house’s original features. Though 100 years old, the historic heritage house remains in beautiful condition with its

warm hardwood flooring, colourful stained-glass windows, broad entryways into the living and dining rooms, brass-and-tile fireplace, and its lovingly hand-crafted nameplates which still hang above the boys’ bedroom doors upstairs, from when Oliver was a child. The house is used on a daily basis and is officially known as the A.C. Wells Clubhouse. The residents of Edenbank hold meetings there, and it’s used regularly for reading in the library, playing cards in the games room, and having a drink with neighbours at the bar. On July 20, current and past residents of Edenbank gathered to celebrate the house’s centennial anniversary. Tables were set up with photos, newspaper articles, and more on the history of Edenbank Farm. Edenbank has just about everything one can ask for in a multihousing complex. Attached to the back of the clubhouse is a pool, hot tub, sauna, weight room, tennis court and squash court. A onekilometre long pathway meanders through the entire subdivision and around the detached homes, townhouses, duplexes, and condos which surround the clubhouse. A large, grass field

runs along the west side of the property where resident practice their golf swings. A creek hugs the houses on the east side, and behind it is a thick wall of trees which blocks nearly all the traffic sounds from Vedder Road, located only metres away. “It’s quite a little gem right in the middle of town,” says 15-yearresident Jan VanderHoek. This month, Marie and Dick

Weeden are moving into one of the condos at Edenbank, a place she can once again, call home. To find out more about Edenbank, you can read the book Edenbank: The History of a Pioneer Farm. You can borrow it from the Chilliwack Library, or it’s available for purchase at the Chilliwack Museum. photo@theprogress.com twitter.com/PhotoJennalism

As a result of nearly 12,000 unfilled appointments so far this summer, coupled with constant hospital demand, Canadian Blood Services is forecasting a need for 51,000 appointments to be filled between now and Labour Day to replenish stocks. For that reason, CBS has extended the Blood Signal until Sept. 3. The Blood Signal is a call to action for Canadians to rally together and book a blood donation when the need is greatest — like now. “Canadian Blood Services operates a national system and we are able to draw on our national reserves at times like these, says Ed Yee, director of donor and clinic services for the CBS B.C. and Yukon region. “Every summer is a challenge, but this year the trend is especially concerning as there are 51,000 appointments to

HOURS: MON TO FRI - 8AM-4:30PM • SAT - 8AM-4:00PM • CLOSED SUN & STAT HOLIDAYS

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO LIMIT QUANTITIES

fill between now and Sept. 3 to keep blood inventory at an acceptable level, including 9,500 appointments in the B.C. and Yukon region.” The summer months are always challenging for Canada’s blood supply and we are not alone; donations are soft in other countries as well. Blood systems in the U.S. and the U.K. have recently issued urgent appeals for blood donors due to fewer donations being made this summer and overall blood inventory levels falling. “No patient goes without blood,” says Yee. “But with so many open appointments, we need Canadians to book and donate now.” CBS asks those who already have an appointment to make every effort to keep it and, if you can, bring a friend to donate. The next clinic in Chilliwack is on Monday, Aug. 19, from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Broadway Church (46611 Maple Ave.). To book an appointment, visit www.blood.ca or call 1-888-2-DONATE (1-888-236-6283). Making an appointment now will ensure that patient needs are met this summer.

The Chilliwack

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

CIS dreams realized as big man joins Bisons Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Since he was seven years old, Nicholas Westad has had a dream. It’s a typical dream. Kind of. He closes his eyes and sees himself running down a long dark tunnel, barreling out into a brightly lit football stadium while thousands of fans cheer. National Football League? Nope. Canadian Football League? Nope. For this 18-year-old Chilliwack native, the dream has always been to play CIS football at a Canadian university. And in a few weeks, the big defensive end will get his chance with the University of Manitoba Bisons. “In Grade 11, (Manitoba) coach (Brian) Dobie came up to me after a game and he said, ‘You have the ability to play at the next level,’” Westad recalled. “‘But you have to promise me you’ll train hard, eat right and do everything you can to get better.’

“And I said, ‘OK. I promise.’” Dobie was one of several coaches who came calling during Westad’s last two seasons with the W.J. Mouat Hawks, an Abbotsford-based high school football program and perennial title contender. Westad had interest from the Queen’s Gaels, UBC Thunderbirds, Simon Fraser Clansmen and the Calgary Dinos. The junior football Okanagan Sun did a flyby as well. But Dobie and the Bisons were the most impressive. “Those are all very good universities and very good programs,” Westad said. “But I really, really liked the way coach Dobie presented his school. I had to pick something, so I went with my gut.” Westad’s gut is landing him in Winnipeg, not the most desirable of destinations in the fall and winter months. The university campus is right next to the Red River, and Westad joked about needing a shot-gun to fend off Manitoba’s legendary horseflies. “I have no problem moving so far away if

I’m doing something I love,” the hulking teenager reasoned. Westad played seven years with Chilliwack Minor Football, and for the longest time was a quarterback. He said he loved every minute of it. In his Grade 10 year at Mouat, a coach pulled him aside and told him he’d be making the move to the defensive line. Most guys would be bothered being turfed from football’s ‘marquee position.’ Westad admits he was bothered. At a crossroads, his football dreams could have gone off the rails. But Westad chose to embrace the change, and it’s worked out very well. “I loved every minute of playing quarterback, but I live and breathe football and the coach can put me whereever he wants and I’ll try to be the best,” he said. “I didn’t want to do it at first. But you know what? The coaches told me I would excel on the line, and it’s turned out to be a good thing.” Westad will play home games at Investors Group Field, the shiny

Pauls faces Canada’s best in Victoria Chilliwack’s Aaron Pauls is in the field for the 109th Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship that runs Aug. 6-9 at two Victoria-area golf clubs. The Gorge Vale Golf Club and Royal Colwood Golf Club host the tournament, with 243 golfers hitting the links. Pauls, a Sardis secondary school grad, is joined by University of the Fraser Valley golf teammate Mitch Lock,

an Abbotsford native. They’ll compete against top male amateurs from Canada, Austria, Australia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, France, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Taiwan and the United States. After the first two rounds, the field will be reduced to 70 players. The tournament winner will earn exemptions into the 2014 RBC Canadian Open at Royal Montreal Golf Club, and the 2013 U.S. Amateur

Championship, running Aug. 12-18 at The Country Club in Brookline, MA. The winner is also eligible for exemptions into the U.S. Amateur Public Links, U.S. Junior Amateur, U.S. Mid-Amateur & USGA Senior Amateur Championship, if applicable.

new home of the Bisons and CFL Winnipeg Blue Bombers. He’ll play in front of one of the most passionate CIS fan bases. He’s looking forward

to leaving Chilliwack Aug. 10 and joining his new teammates on campus. Let the journey begin. “I’m excited about

the stadium, but more excited about meeting my teammates and playing at that level,” Westad said. “Coming out of that tunnel before the game, with the fans

yelling and screaming. That’s what I’ve dreamed about for 10 years and it’s about to happen.” Get Bisons info at gobisons.ca/

Robertson leads locals at senior men’s championship Chilliwack’s T. Craig Robertson was the top local at the 2013 BC Senior Men’s Championship, tying for 35th overall. The tournament was played this week at Eaglepoint Golf Resort in Kamloops. Robertson carded a threeround 230 to finish 20 shots off the pace set by tourney winner Doug Roxburgh, a Vancouver native representing

the Marine Drive Golf Club. Robertson fired a six-over-par 78 in Monday’s round one. The second round was his best as he bogied four holes and birdied one en-route to a threeover-par 75. He slipped slightly in Wednesday’s final round, carding a 77. Chilliwack’s Daniel Caton went the distance as well, tying for 50th overall with a three-
