Fall from truck claims Chilliwack teen’s life Chilliwack driver facing charges A Chilliwack man is dead after falling from the back of a pickup truck on No. 3 road and Boundar y Road late Sunday night. The 18-year-old has been identified by the BC Coroners Service as Adam Burchart. The 18-year-old driver, also from Chilliwack, was to appear in court Monday. RCMP were recommending a charge of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle causing death. However, Crown counsel recommend he be released on a promise to appear on Nov. 19. The incident occurred around 11:30 p.m. Sunday. According to police, the truck was traveling along a straight stretch of Boundary Road with a driver and passenger in the cab and two male passengers in the box. One of the passengers fell out of the box of the truck, struck the road and sustained extensive injuries. Paramedics attended the incident, but Burchart died of his injuries at the scene. The B.C. Coroners Ser vice and the Lower Mainland District Integrated Collision Analysis and Reconstruction Ser vices are assisting in the investigation. Conflicting reports early on indicated the man fell from the back of the truck and then was struck again by the vehicle. All four men were from Chilliwack.
Chilliwack firefighters discuss operations as they help battle a fire at fourplex in Garrison Crossing on Wednesday. The fire gutted one unit and severely damaged two others. For video from the fire, go online to www.theprogress.com. GREG KNILL/ PROGRESS
Residents rally to help fire victims Within hours of a devastating fire last week at a Garrison fourplex, efforts were under way to help the people affected. No one was home at the time of the fire, which broke out at around 5 p.m. in the 45000 block of Tamihi Way. But the damage was extensive. Smoke could be seen spiraling skyward as firefighters rushed to the scene. When they arrived they found flames shooting from the roof of the two-storey townhome and beginning to spread to
adjacent units. Crews from Firehalls 1, 4 and 6 responded – including the large aerial unit that poured water from above. They managed to slow the fire’s progress, but not before considerable fire, smoke and water damage was done to three of the four units. A central unit – home to a family of five – was almost completely destroyed. The fire left the residents, a mom and four children, with little more than the clothes
they were wearing. They had recently moved into the home and had yet to set up insurance. When word of the family’s loss spread, Chilliwack residents were quick to respond. Fund raisers have been planned, and trust fund is in place, a Facebook page has been created, and efforts are underway to co-ordinate donations. Two local thrift stores, Back At You Thrift Store and Streethope New and Used, have stepped for-
ward to help the family with some of the basics. Back At You has two fundraisers planned. It will hold a “Good Ol’ Fashioned Garage Sale and Hot Dog Fundraiser for Fire Victims” this Saturday, Aug. 31 from 9:30 - 5 p.m. (45676 Yale Rd). Door prizes and a donation jar are planned. Seventy-five per cent of the of the net proceeds will go towards the family. Continued: FIRE/ p17

DFO steps up patrols against Fraser sockeye poachers Cameras, aircraft among tools helping bust illegal fishermen Jeff Nagel Black Press Fisheries officers have doubled their patrols on the lower Fraser River to battle poachers who are illegally catching threatened sockeye salmon to sell into the black market. All fishing for sockeye has been shut down in response to a low run size and dangerously high river temperatures to ensure as many of the salmon get upriver
to spawn as possible. But Department of Fisheries and Oceans area director Herb Redekopp said the “full-out conservation closure” hasn’t deterred illegal fishing on the river. “Last night we ran into another group of poachers,” he said Friday, adding officers made arrests and seized illegally caught salmon, gear and a boat. “That’s happened nightly in numerous groups and in different areas of the river.” He said eight vessels had been seized as of Friday, along with 50 nets and 27 investigations are in progress that have or are expected to result in charges under the Fisheries Act.
The most intense illegal fishing is happening between Surrey and Spuzzum, in various hot spots around Agassiz, Chilliwack and the Fraser Canyon. He said poaching can be particularly lethal at the canyon, where salmon heading upriver use backeddies to rest and an illegal net dropped in can quickly pull up a full set. Redekopp said DFO is using night vision imaging, remote cameras, helicopters and other aircraft to detect probable poachers for interception on the ground. “We’re using every bit of technology available to us as well as intelligence that we’re gathering from the public.”
No commercial or recreational fishing for sockeye has been allowed this year. Pent-up demand for sockeye has driven prices up and prompted much more illegal fishing than in past years, he said. “There’s a huge illegal marketplace for black market salmon.” Fishermen are getting about $20 a fish, Redekopp said, and some buyers are paying up to $50 each. Some of the fish being sold now may have been caught in aboriginal food fisheries that were legally conducted earlier in the summer but are not authorized for sale. Redekopp said many poachers
busted on the river appear to have long criminal histories and may be fishing as a source of easy money to feed drug addictions. The maximum penalty for illegal fishing is a $100,000 fine, along with forfeiture of gear, vessel or vehicle, and up to two years in jail. Repeat offenders do sometimes get jail time, Redekopp said. He said officers are also targeting people who buy illegally caught sockeye. Fish sold out of the back of a truck or door-to-door are almost certainly poached, he said, adding people should buy from a recognized commercial outlet.

Ron Denman has stepped down director of the Chilliwack Museum and Archives. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE
Retiring Chilliwack museum director lauded The Progress Outgoing Chilliwack Museum Director Ron Denman isn’t crazy about being in the spotlight. “He’s a guy in the back who doesn’t like to be pulled out to the front,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. But she put him there anyway at the last council meeting, as a way of honouring his achievements now that he’s retiring after 28 years. The mayor said a few words and presented him with a token of appreciation from council and the City of Chilliwack. Denman leaves an enviable legacy from his time at the helm of the museum. He obtained
Class B museum status, and earned awards for exhibits, like Brewer’s Gold and a Diamond Jubilee medal for his community service. When he started in 1985, the museum was in Evergreen Hall. He oversaw the move and renovation of the former City Hall, the current Chilliwack Museum location. He’s networked and forged good relationships with many community groups, from The Community Arts Council, and local First Nations, and more. Major renovations at the Archives were completed in 2011. On his watch, the Museum presented more than 100 exhibits, and 50,000 children came for educational programs from
staff who made history come alive. “Ron is generous and humble, he would say everything is a group effort,” said the Mayor in council chambers. “As much as there is some truth to that, it was his strong leadership that got them there.” Denman performed the last official function, handing out copies of the final product of a book project on Sardis, and later introducing his replacement, Deborah Hudson. “What I have today is that final product of the book, Memories of Sardis, and I have one for each of you,” Denman told council. The museum work was deeply satisfying, like the Piper Richardson statue, or editing
The Chilliwack Story. “It sustained me over 28 years. I never got bored and there was always something else to do. “I enjoyed the freedom to decide what the projects would be, and I was privileged to mould the organization and move it forward into the 21st century.” It was a tender moment in council chambers. “It’s hard to thank someone for 28 years,” said Gaetz. “We know you have put your heart and soul into this work, and you always brought knowledge and wisdom and calmness to the process. So we thank you.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

A vision of future Chilliwack is gradually taking shape as the city assembles feedback received on its Official Community Plan (OCP) over the past year. The City of Chilliwack is reviewing its OCP in order to manage growth for the next few decades. The review tackles issues from densification to green space to commercial development to street art. “The community is growing, and we have to plan for growth. If we don’t plan for growth, we have unintended consequences. We have people living in unsafe conditions, we have people living in illegal suites, we have people that are couch-surfing. We need to plan ahead,” said mayor Sharon Gaetz. To that end, the city has been holding surveys, interactive community planning events, and social media discussions to gather local views on how Chilliwack should look from now until 2040. Although opinions diverge, most residents seem to envision a walkable city with lots of green space and street-level shops and homes, according to the city’s latest public engagement report. The report presents results from an online survey than ran May to July 2013, “community cafe” public forums in June, and a workshop in Yarrow. When it comes to architecture for commercial buildings, preference is for buildings with large windows and tree-lined patios. Buildings with too simple facades were deemed “bland,” and those with graffiti art were least preferred. Over half of the people polled at the community cafes vetoed any regulation of the colour of commercial buildings, but 30 per cent felt it would be a good idea. For residential neighbourhoods, the majority of those surveyed preferred single-family

UFV shuttle bus gets ready to roll Alina Konevski The Progress Come September, students at the University of the Fraser Valley will finally have an easy and affordable way to travel between the Chilliwack and Abbotsford campuses. The new Campus Connector shuttle bus will run 15 times per day each way Monday to Thursday, and eight times per day on Fridays. Last March, SUS members voted 75 per cent in favour of paying $6.75 each annually towards a private shuttle bus. “Due to the lack of pub-
lic transportation between Chilliwack and Abbotsford, there has been a strong push from students for solutions,” said SUS president Shane Potter in a release. “I am thrilled that now we have an option for students to travel between the Abbotsford campus and the Chilliwack campus at Canada Education Park. Even students who have cars are welcome to park them, ride the shuttle, save money, and reduce their environmental impact.” UFV students took the matter into their own hands after years of campaigning
both cities for a public bus route has not resulted in a bus. Even though it is common for students to have courses and events at both campuses, current transportation options include owning a vehicle, and using an inconvenient Greyhound bus. The Campus Connector, consisting of two 20-seater, wheelchair-accessible buses, goes online Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2013. The bus is free to UFV students and staff. Students will have first priority for boarding. The shuttle will stop at Building A on the Chilliwack
campus, the Trades and Technology Centre, and the Park and Ride near the Lickman Road overpass. In Abbotsford, stops are at the main campus and at the Park and Ride near the McCallum overpass. The schedule was aligned to common course start and end times, with buses running from early morning to nearly midnight. The Campus Connector is a joint effort between the Student Union Society (SUS) and UFV. The university will cover 40 per-cent of the Continued: UFV/ p13

Strahl says he’ll run in new Chilliwack-Hope riding Alina Konevski The Progress A recently concluded reorganization of federal electoral boundaries will see local Member of Parliament Mark Strahl running in the new Chilliwack-Hope riding in the next election. The readjusted riding will encompass only Chilliwack and Hope. Strahl’s current Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon riding includes the District of Kent, Harrison Hot Springs, Yale, Boston Bar, Lytton, Lillooet, Cache Creek, and Ashcroft. These communities will be covered by the new Mission— Matsqui—Fraser Canyon riding for the next federal election, anticipated for fall 2015. Pemberton will join the
new West Vancouver— Sunshine Coast—Sea to Sky Country riding. Strahl welcomed the final report and maps released last week from the Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for British Columbia. “Chilliwack—Hope is entirely contained within my current riding of Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon,” said Strahl in a release. “I was born and raised in Chilliwack,
and my roots in both Chilliwack and Hope are very deep. I’m looking forward to running here in the next election.” The boundaries of Chilliwack-Hope keep the City of Chilliwack intact, after earlier proposals had split up the city. “It made sense to keep Chilliwack together, and I’m glad they saw it that way in the end,” added Strahl.
The government launched a review of federal electoral boundaries to better reflect population changes, so that each riding contains roughly the same number of people and takes into account the identities, histories and geographic sizes of individual communities. B.C. gains six new federal seats as a result of the review. akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/alinakonevski

Municipal election reform pledged for 2014 campaign Jeff Nagel Black Press A ban on anonymous contributions in municipal elections is among the reforms the provincial government is pledging to have in place the next time local voters go to the polls to elect councils in November of 2014. Details on the changes are to be spelled out in a white paper next month. But Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes said additional changes will also require disclosure and registration of third-party advertisers in local government elections. Sponsorship information will also be mandatory on all election advertising, and campaign finance disclo-
sures will have to be filed within 90 days, instead of 120 days. Limits on campaign spending for candidates, organizations and thirdparty advertisers are also coming, but they will be held back for implementation for the

R AESIDE
For more than forty years, the Agassiz Speedway has consistently provided a place of sporting entertainment in this town. Young men and women have been able to test their limits, and the limits of the machines in their power, while circling a quarter mile track. It’s thrilling to watch from the stands, and provides an equally thrilling pastime for drivers of every age. There are multiple generations sometimes racing against each other, as well as father and daughter/son teams to cheer on. Spend a night at the track, and you’ll soon see that racing is in Agassiz’s blood. The Speedway is an integral part of the community, and runs on volunteer equity. And it’s been hit hard. While the last race night was a boon for the non-profit organization, with more than 800 people filing through their gates, the follow up theft was a sucker punch. Sometime during the week, thieves decided to break in and take whatever they could grab for scrap metal resale (Metal thieves can’t slow down Agassiz Speedway, Chilliwack Progress, Aug. 22). In the pursuit of stripping down a few hundred dollars of scrap, they caused an estimated $10,000 in damages. That’s $10,000 that won’t go toward future upgrades. The Speedway just finished their two year project to build new washrooms, a costly endeavor. Now, they’ll have to pump up their bank account even more to keep afloat, and the only way to do that is to draw in the crowds. They frantically cleaned up the mess and worked to get the power back up and running throughout the week, again with the elbow grease put in by volunteers. We hope you’ll support them as they get back to the starting line. ~ Black Press

Stanley Park is something millions can celebrate As city parks go, Stanley Park at just 1000 acres is far from the biggest urban park in the world. But apparently it can lay claim to fame as the world’s best park according to TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards. Central Park in New York took second place and Colorado’s Garden of the Gods was third. That was a timely vote by millions of world travellers given the fact that this year is Stanley Park’s 125th anniversary. Almost ever yone has affection for the park with their own take on what makes it special. From the aquarium and the zoo to the playground (with the red fire truck), the little crabs under the rocks on the beaches at low tide, the sea wall, the Girl in a Wetsuit statue, the totem poles and the Teahouse, Stanley Park is embedded in the psyche of mil-

lions of British Columbians. The park receives about eight million visitors a year, so many of them enjoying cricket, great lunches at Prospect Point, Theatre under the Stars, the miniature railway and watching mounted police, gardens of roses and rhododendrons and the Margaret Jubilee Fountain EVANS in Lost Lagoon. To celebrate its birthday, here are some cool stats and facts. It’s official name? Stanley Park National Historic Site of Canada. The park was named after Lord Stanley, Governor-General of Canada whose other claim to fame is that coveted cup owned by the NHL.
The land was occupied by First Nations’ people for at least 3,000 years before it became a military reserve in the mid-1800s, given to the City of Vancouver in 1886, and made a park in 1888. That was a pretty visionary move given the slash-and-burn mentality of the time. Siwash Rock was created from volcanic activity 32 million years ago. It is a unique basaltic Sea Stack that rose from the Earth’s core. The lone Douglas fir on its peak (not the original tree which withered during the 1965 drought), has been nurtured along by park staff and survived some pretty awesome Pacific storms. The park’s oldest man-made landmark is an 1816 naval cannon installed near Brockton Point. This is the nine o’clock gun which was first fired in 1898, a time sig-
nal for the general population and for ships in port to accurately set their chronometers. At first detonated with a pound of gunpowder, it is now blasted off by a civilized GPS atomic clock timer. From the day the first park ranger, Henry Avison, captured an orphaned black bear cub and chained it to a stump in 1888, the park had a zoo. It closed in 1997 after Tuk, the 36-year-old polar bear, died. Construction of the sea wall took from 1917 to 1980. That’s 63 years. Good job the Port Mann Bridge didn’t take that long. Jubilee Fountain in Lost Lagoon was bought from the City of Chicago after its 1934 World Fair. The Vancouver Aquarium captured its first killer whale in 1964. The Hollow Tree is the remnant of a massive cedar that took

root around the 11th centur y. That’s about the time William the Conqueror penned the idea of the Domesday Book and a medieval take on municipal taxes. The tree once stood around 72 metres (240 feet) and had its top either blasted off by lightning or lost during Hurricane Frieda in 1962. Speaking of winds, the 2006 windstorm damaged 3,000 trees and affected 40 per cent of the park’s forest. Today the oldest trees in the park are about 600 years and the forest, meadows, Beaver lake and beaches provide home to hundreds of animal and plant species enjoyed year-round by millions of visitors. Such cool stuff for an iconic and historic park.

Climate change coverage welcomed Re: Climate change talk just hot air (Chilliwack Progress Aug. 20.) I was shocked by the tone of Art Daher’s letter condemning Margaret Evans and her “cohorts” including “Saint” David Suzuki for their belief in the widely held view that we are experiencing global warming. I am somewhat confused as to exactly what it is about their views that he finds so distressing. In this extremely emotionfraught subject I think we all have our biases. He points out that there are still differing views out there and questions the credentials of those scientists supporting climate change. He then quotes an astrophysicist whose views are widely disputed. Fortunately it won’t be long before we know if this Russian is correct as his predicted mini-ice age is said to start next year growing in intensity to
9
a peak in 2055. Mr. Daher, your mention of the setting of a number of cold weather records would seem to suggest that you do believe our climate is changing, is it the human contribution to this change that you dispute? It seems obvious to me that our accelerating release of enormous amounts of energy which has been sequestered for millions of years is going to affect earths energy systems, primarily our climate. Record cold statistics are not contraindicative of the global “warming” effect. We are experiencing increasing climate instability and records both hot and cold are the result. As for the “foisting” of climate change agenda on us, I’m not sure to what you refer. Is it the generally-held belief that we must slow down our fossil fuel use? We better hang on to our
oil if that mini-ice age is coming, we’re going to need it. How can the development of cleaner alternate energy sources be a bad thing? There is no disputing that although there is plenty of oil out there, we are rapidly depleting the last of the easily accessible reserves. Future oil supply will come at a greatly increased cost, ecologically and economically, irrespective of climate change . To whose advantage is this “cover up” you mention? It is perfectly clear that extremely rich and powerful companies would prefer global warming be a fallacy and I’m sure that they bring tremendous pressure to that end. This is the cover up that frightens me. I thank Margaret Evans for her continuing coverage of this most important of subjects and look forward to future articles.

Scientific evidence, or political opinion? Interesting that according to Mark Schier, The Progress should not be printing my letters regarding “Climate Change”. Well Mark, hate to tell you this but had you read you my letter carefully, you would have noticed I was “quoting/ copying” verbatim what
the scientific bodies/ experts were reporting based on “real, hard evidence”. Not my opinion, scientific evidence! Mark, as I pointed out in my letter, all your “evidence” is based on what? You did not give even one scientific authority. The only bodies/scientists that come
up with what you claim are political people who have an agenda. May I suggest you read some of the books, articles I quoted. It might be an “eye opener” to find these are not political bodies but independent organizations interested in the “truth” as presented by factual
EI rules called unfair I was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago. I just finished a brutal three-month regime of chemo. I am now done the chemo treatments and there is no sign of the cancer both to which I am very grateful. I had a full time job when this all started, I went on medical EI which runs out in a week. Apparently if you’re sick you only get 15 weeks but if you’re not sick you get to collect for a year. Where is the sense there? I asked if I had any other options. I was told that if I didn’t have a job to come back to then I would qualify for regular EI then I would have about a year to recuperate if I needed to without having to worry about financial needs. I am no where near ready to go back to work yet my only option, go to social services, so there I am going. I am not asking for handouts from anyone, I just want to warn people that our wonderful government doesn’t care if you’re sick or not.

Warnings on marijuana use If marijuana is going to become a controlled/legal substance, then education will be required (as in the case of tobacco) at the elementary level in schools. It is vital that everyone knows the “evils” of drugs alcohol and tobacco (except for medicinal purposes) at an early stage in life. A study was done in New Zealand that proved that marijuana use over a 10 year period resulted in as much as an 8 point drop in I.Q.. Permanent brain damage also occurs as well. All drugs (prescription drugs as well) have side affects so it is important to beware of the consequences before even taking them. Memory loss is evident in marijuana users; would love to have a dollar for every time they say “I forgot”. We must teach our children to just say no to drugs - alcohol and tobacco and if they fail to heed the good advice at least we tried.

News Lower local speed limits, scooter licensing proposed UBCM poised to debate tricky transportation questions Jeff Nagel Black Press B.C. cities will next month debate proposals to cut the default speed limit on municipal streets to 40 kilometres per hour and to force licensing and regulation on users of motorized wheelchairs and scooters. The two proposals are among transportation-related resolutions that will be on the floor at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver in late September. The City of Victoria is behind the proposed cut in default speed limits from the current 50 km/h – if the lower 40 km/h default limit is adopted by the province, municipalities could still selectively designate specific roads for higher speeds. The resolution asks for provincial aid installing new signage, includ-
ing signs for roads where the speed limit would be different from the default 40 km/h. The current default is dangerously high on some residential streets, argues Victoria Coun. Shellie Gudgeon. “Even laneways can be 50 km/h if it’s not signed,� Gudgeon told Black Press. “It’s far too fast for neighbourhoods and families.� Ian Tootill of the motorist advocacy group SENSE BC predicts drivers wouldn’t obey a 40 km/h limit and said there’s little evidence of low-speed fatalities or injuries that could be prevented with an even lower limit. “The people who are driving this agenda are the people who underneath it all are anti-car,� Tootill said. “A lot of these people don’t even drive.� He said another example of bureaucratic overkill is the “laughable “ proposal to regulate motorized wheelchairs and small mobility scooters. Sidney council argues seniors drive them too fast on sidewalks without any regulation. Their resolution to UBCM urges the prov-
ince to regulate the use of motorized mobility aids, including wheelchair and scooters, and require training, testing and licensing of operators. There’s currently no registration, insurance or licence required to operate them in B.C. The province has indicated to UBCM it intends to develop a coordinated plan for safe operation of motorized scooters, including possible amendments to the Motor Vehicle Act. The provincial coroner in 2008 issued recommendations supporting scooter regulation after several scooterriding seniors died in crashes with vehicles. The B.C. Coalition of People with Disabilities opposes the idea. “These are mobility devices that people need to get out into the community,� said executive director Jane Dyson. “Such a regulation would impede their independence.� Surrey-White Rock MLA Gordon Hogg he doesn’t sense it’s a major problem but added “some authority� is probably needed, preferably through provincial law that lets individual cities regulate the machines if they deem it necessary. “People are generally
pretty well-behaved,� he said. “Public policy generally should not be developed for exceptions,� he said. White Rock deputy mayor Grant Meyer questioned the impact enforcing scooter regulations would have on the city’s already busy bylaw staff. But White Rock Coun. Larry Robinson said he’s all for it. “There has to be some type of regulation, including you to be approved or prescribed to use them,� he said. Robinson said he has seen people operating electric wheelchairs holding up traffic. And he said he knows people who don’t have a medical need for the machines but just like to use them to get around. “I don’t think you should be able to walk into a store and walk out with an electric scooter and just drive it wherever you want. There has
to be some qualification for the use.� Another potentially controversial resolution coming before UBCM is a call for the province to allow the use of photo radar to ticket speeders in school and playground zones. The proposal from Penticton council argues that policestaffed speed traps and volunteer-run speed reader boards are labour-intensive and have had limited success in reducing speeding. Revenue from fines would be shared on a negotiated basis with local municipalities, Penticton suggests. The UBCM executive hasn’t taken a position on the idea but the province has always firmly said it has no intention of reintroducing photo radar, which was eliminated in 2001. – with files Peace Arch News, Victoria News

Analiza and Michael Allen are the owners of GBE Organic. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Heirloom produce offers a whiff of nostalgia Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack organic farmer Michael Allen still laughs about growing heirloom tomatoes the first time. He bought and planted the seeds in good faith. But when the finicky tomato crop was finally ready, he thought he must have done something wrong. They were dark-purple and rather funny-looking. Still he packed them gingerly in crates and headed into Vancouver with his strange wares. He got to Granville Island Market, and a vendor in the next stall giddily informed him of what he’d grown. “Those are heirloom tomatoes!” the guy told him. And those purple beauties would go for $2.99 a pound. The former CFL-football-starturned-farmer was flummoxed. Michael might not have known what he had precisely, but clearly the customers did. He sold out everything he had that day. And the next. Flash forward to today, and Michael Allen his wife, Ana-Liza, and their daughter, Santiana, are proud owner/operators of GBE Organic Allen Family Farm operations in Chilliwack. They specialize in heirloom pro-
duce with a whopping 21 types of tomatoes, as well as a range of bell peppers, beans, and eggplants, and watermelon. Some are two-toned, or striped and they come in a rainbow of colours and shapes. They have more than 20 acres of outdoor fields, and a three-acre greenhouse at Luckakuck Way and Evans Road. “What makes us unique from other greenhouses is that we’re soil-based. We grow the plants right in the soil,” says Ana-Liza. Most greenhouses use hydroponics, growing plants in bags with water and coconut fibre. It also took three years, and a lot of paperwork to get the operation certified organic, and switched from conventional farming. Today the GBE Organic Allen Family Farm label can be spotted in several of the big supermarkets, including the like Save-On or Thrifty Foods. They have become the largest suppliers of heirloom varieties in B.C. and the “firsts” are starting to add up. This summer they’ve been testing out a farm gate operation for the first time, under a roadside tent outside their greenhouse in Chilliwack. It helps that more and more
people are seeking out organic. They grow a hearty and nutritious green called Callaloo from Jamaica, and the first organic Chilliwack sweet corn in the province. “Organic corn is a rare commodity,” she says. They built the sprawling greenhouse last year, with steel and glass covering the soil-based farm land to create organic produce in the best conditions. “Everything grows better in soil,” Michael explains. The GBE philosophy is to treat the soil exceptionally well, building it up in the belief that micronutrients can be absorbed more naturally that way by the plants. They use natural methods for pest control and fertilization, and the company name is short for Garden Back to Eden, which is a nod to the Allens’ faith. They pipe in classical music, expel mist for the plants and the chirping sound of birds to create a relaxing ambiance in the greenhouse. What they’ve noticed is that a perfect looking tomato is sometimes lacking in flavour. “We’re going for the most natural growing conditions possible inside the greenhouse, and choosing heirloom seeds because we
think taste is everything,” he says. When it comes right down to it, flavour counts for a lot. Open any food magazine these days and you’ll see heirloom tomatoes in the spotlight, in all their luscious glory. “We grow the most unique flavoured tomatoes you will ever taste,” Ana-Liza says. “They are plain delicious and our customers say the taste is phenomenal.” What do they mean by “heirloom” in this context anyway? Heirloom seeds predate the hybrids, meaning they usually go back more than 50 years, or even a century. Heirloom seeds were passed down through the generations, genetically unchanged from the oldest tomato, maybe the giant Beefsteak, that someone’s grandmother grew. That’s part of their appeal — a whiff of nostalgia and an old-fashioned basket full of taste. Heirloom varieties earn top dollar at farmers’ markets like the one the GBE farmers go to in Kitsilano every Sunday, and for good reason. They haven’t been crossbred for uniformity of colour and size. They sell out on a regular basis because of the superior taste and a savvy clientele. “We know we’re serving a growing market,” Michael says.
The challenges that remain are around being able to supply the burgeoning demand. They have to be able to harvest what they have in a timely fashion with a steady supply of farm workers to fill the orders, says the farmer. “Finding enough workers is always a bit of a nightmare,” he says. But with six children, hardworking staff, and business partners, all working together on the same goals, GBE is striving to supply an organic market with the products it’s looking for. The family has been growing fruits and veggies for a hungry public since 2007, but they’ve got more on the go now than ever. At one point they were leasing greenhouses in different parts of the Lower Mainland. But now they’re consolidated in Chilliwack, and looking to the future. There’s only one other organic greenhouse operation in B.C. and they too, recently switched to soilbased operations. So clearly GBE is onto something.

Jody Gordon, UFV’s vice-president for student services, supported the initiative as a means to address longstanding transportation challenges between UFV campuses. “It is very important to our university to have our campuses well connected. We know that many of our students live in one community but study in another, or may want to attend special events. While we can’t connect all of our eight university locations in the Fraser Valley by shuttle at this time, this is a very positive start,” said Gordon in a release. Meanwhile, the City of Chilliwack is taking steps towards an express Chilliwack–Abbotsford public bus, which it hopes to have operational within two years. The full schedule of

Spending limits held back until 2017 ELECTION from page 7 Oakes said the changes will improve transparency and accountability, calling them the most significant modernization of local election legislation in nearly two decades. The changes will apply to elections for municipalities, regional districts, park boards, the Islands Trust and boards of education. Union of B.C. Municipalities president Mary Sjostrom said she’s pleased

with the commitment and said the government’s phased approach should ensure the changes work well for the full range of B.C. communities. NDP local government critic Selina Robinson was critical of the delay to impose a campaign spending cap and said she’s not sure why the province needs more time to act. “What have they been doing?� she asked, adding six different ministers have had a combined six years to deliver reforms sought by UBCM.
detached homes. Only about 40 per cent leaned towards multi-family dwellings such as townhouses or duplexes. All the same, nearly 80 per cent of people polled at the community cafes felt that apartments of more than eight storeys are appropriate in Chilliwack. “I can imagine that most people, if they had a choice, would want to live in a single-family home, but the economic reality of that is slim for a lot of people,� said Gaetz. “Realistically, multi-family housing is part of any mix of any community nowadays just for affordability and affordable housing choices.� The single biggest contributor to a better neighborhood is a denser and livelier core, according to 70 per cent of community cafe participants. But to densify, communities should have enough parks and schools, pedestrian infrastructure, public transit, and commercial services. Nearly half of cafe attendees felt that the vitality of Chilliwack’s downtown was the city’s biggest long-term eco-
nomic challenge. About one-fifth disagreed, noting it was sufficient land for manufacturing and industry. Another fifth thought that the growth of the knowledge economy is most important. Gaetz estimates that about 5,000 residents have participated in the OCP consultation process over the last year. The community of Yarrow has been particularly “stellar,� she noted, as residents came out prepared for a meaningful discussion. Their vision of a Yarrow with village charm, restored older buildings, and a cozy shopping district with lots of independent stores came through clearly. Residents frequently pointed to Fort Langley as a model for how Yarrow should develop. “It’s just really good to hear what their vision is. And of course any community is built incrementally. So when development comes forward to the city, we’ll weigh it against that kind of criteria. We’ll say, ‘Does this really fit in with the vision of the community?’� said Gaetz. A draft of the OCP, “a
living, breathing document,� will be available in the fall, and recirculated publicly for final comments. The plan should be adopted before the end of 2013. The city invites residents to continue sharing their thoughts. “We just want to encourage people to use their voices. If people hadn’t spoken to us about
issues like tree retention or hillside development and their concerns, or if they hadn’t given us their opinion on transportation and how they use it, our plan would be much poorer because of that. So just keep talking to us, we’re listening,� said Gaetz. Information about the OCP is at chilliwack. com/ocpreview.

Progress Eric
Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com
Tough test Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Chilliwack’s Anthony Toth overcame a tough start to finish fifth at last weekend’s Challenge Penticton Triathlon race. Sunday was race day, with Toth diving into Okanagan Lake for the start of the 3.8 kilometre swim. “I had a great start and was on the back of the lead pack and feeling great 300 metres in,” Toth said. “But the water was very choppy, with waves that seemed over two feet high at times. I swallowed water into my lungs and had to stop to cough and catch my breath for a few minutes.” By the time he resumed, Toth couldn’t see the lead pack, and could barely see the buoys beyond the high waves. He ended up swimming an extra 400m off course before finally leaving the lake. “All of the swim times were obviously slow but that time spent fighting the waves made it even more fatiguing,” he said. In fourteenth place coming out of the water, Toth made up substantial ground on the 180km bike ride to Osoyoos and back. He had the seventh fastest time at 04:58:25. “I was on my own the last 90km and was looking forward to the run and seeing what the
gaps were between me and the others,” he said. Heading into the 42.2km run, Toth was more than 10 minutes behind the top three, but within striking distance of the next group. Thirty kilometres in, Toth had climbed up to fourth place and was feeling good. Someone told him No. 3 was just ahead, so he picked up the pace to try and catch him. “Which led me into cramping and fatigue,” Toth explained. “I got caught at 39km mark and finished fifth.” No complaints though. Considering the obstacles he faced, Toth was pleased. “It was a great performance of focus and will for all the problems I encountered,” he said. “The race is never perfect, but it’s about dealing with those obstacles that test your will and mind. The body can take you so far and then it’s about what you endure.” Toth’s final time of 09:10:14 was 40 minutes behind race winner Jeff Symonds. Toth will compete in the Cultus Lake Triathlon Sept. 8. He plans to do a half Ironman in Austin, TX, in late October, followed by a full Ironman in Tempe, AZ, Nov. 17. Toth runs a youth triathlon club in Chilliwack. See anthonytoth.ca

Law a track champ at BC Senior Games Chilliwack athletes produced 33 individual and 21 team medals at the 2013 BC Senior Games, held August 20-24 in Kamloops.

pentathlon, javelin and hammer throw. Fellow track athlete Jim McIsaac (men’s 55-59) won silver in discus and shot-put. Lolita RocheleauLazenby and Paula Quick led the charge in women’s swimming, splitting seven medals between them. Quick competed in the 60-64 age division,
winning gold in the 200 metre freestyle, with silvers in the 400 and 800m freestyles. She won another gold as part of the Fraser Valley Zone 4x25m freestyle relay team. Competing in the 65-69 age division, Rocheleau-Lazenby earned silvers in the 200m individual medley, 50m butterfly and
800m freestyle. Philip De Ridder won two team medals in men’s swimming, snagging silver in freestyle relay and bronze in medley relay. Chilliwack badminton players brought home three individual medals, led by Sue Thompson’s gold medal performance in the women’s 70-74 divi-

Smyl’s squads stumble as preseason starts Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Harvey Smyl isn’t one to put stock in preseason results. A 7-4 loss in Surrey Friday night and a 3-3 tie with the Eagles at home Saturday — he’s not concerned about being winless in August. But the Chilliwack Chiefs bench boss is a little bothered by the way the games were lost. Poor defensive structure. A lot of puck watching and chasing. “It looked like we need
a lot of work in that area, and it shouldn’t be that way,” Smyl said. “You’d think they’d have a better mindset at this level, and we certainly need to do some teaching.” Friday’s loss was more excusable, with Smyl dressing a younger lineup. “As did Surrey, and they were probably the better team,” Smyl noted. “They were more composed and a little more relaxed playing at home.” Ex-Trail Smoke Eater L yndon Stanwood had a rough night in net, surrendering all seven Surrey
in the second period to knot goals. Jacob Hand had a pair things up, and the teams for Chilliwack, with Carter played a scoreless third.

of what we want to do, but when you replace the number of guys that we’ve had to, and in key positions, it’s going to be a process,” Smyl said. “It will take time to learn the pecking order, the roles, the system and the styles.” Smyl’s crew plays preseason game No. 3 tonight (Tuesday) in Hope, facing the Coquitlam Express at the Hope and District Rec. Centre. They’re back at Prospera Centre Thursday night, facing the Eagles. Puck drop for both games
is 7 p.m. and tickets for Thursday’s game cost $5 apiece. “I don’t care about the end results, but I do care about how they play,” Smyl said when asked what he’ll be looking for. “For us, it’s about evaluation, learning about the kids and seeing how they respond to different situations.” The team came out of the weekend healthy, with nothing that would keep any players on the sideline.

Bowen will suit up for a preseason game against the Swift Current Broncos Tuesday night, and soak up as much as he can before returning home.

Ike was born in Bassano, Alberta and with his family also lived for some time in Oliver, BC before moving to Chilliwack, BC. He loved gospel, old-time country and bluegrass music. He attended many gospel quartet concerts and bluegrass festivals. Ike also loved watching hockey and the Toronto Blue Jays. He enjoyed doing jigsaw puzzles and his pride was completing and framing one that contained 10,000 pieces. He enjoyed driving. Especially the years he spent trucking and the trips taken across Canada, to Alaska and various hot springs. Predeceased by his parents Peter and Sarah, his brothers Peter, Jacob and Gary and by his sister Helen. Survived by his loving family. His children Judy (Dave), Barb, Katie (Al) and Tony (Carol), his 7 grandchildren and his 2 great-grandchildren. His brothers John (Louise), Charlie (Edna) and his sisters Maggie and Nettie (Julius).

Ikle Gerald William March 1, 1935 August 9, 2013
We are sad to announce the sudden passing of Gerald William Ikle, peacefully in his sleep on August 9, 2013 at the age of 78. Gerald leaves behind his children: Geraldine, David (Stella) and Mark (Angelique); grandchildren: Jennifer, Christian, Amber, Alicia and Brooke; and great grandchildren: David and Jennea. He will also be missed by sister in law, Carol (Tim) Walker of Calgary, as well as his friends and neighbours. Son of Lena (nee: Travaglia) and Joseph Ikle, Gerald was born Lethbridge, Alberta on March 1, 1935. He married our mother, Maxine Louise (nee Fruet) in 1956 and was predeceased by her after 54 years of marriage in 2010. He established residence in Chilliwack in 1979 and shortly thereafter started a metal brokerage business which kept him busy for over 30 years. Fiercely independent, enterprising and hardworking, he will also be remembered by those who knew him well as a kindhearted individual who did not hesitate to help those less fortunate than himself. His last wish was to have his ashes released to the winds of the Rockies in southern Alberta. At his request, there will be no formal service.
