FVRD eyes medical pot zoning rule Alina Konevski The Progress The Fraser Valley Regional District has confirmed that it will ban medical marijuana production on its rural residential land. But the regional district is still determining whether grow-ops will be permitted on industrial land, on agricultural land, or both. “We will not be allowing it in rural residential,” said Chief Administrative Officer Paul Gipps. “We’re still debating with the electoral areas, but we’re looking at maybe in the agricultural land area. But preferably I think we’re going to end up with grows in areas where you’re allowed production, like industrial zones, as well.” The City of Chilliwack will ban medical pot grow-ops on residential and agricultural land when the current individual growing licences expire April 1, 2014. Production will only be allowed on land with an M6 special industrial zone permit. FVRD’s regulation will be “along the same lines” as the city’s. The regional district does not yet have regulations pertaining specifically to medical marijuana grow-ops. The only ones that apply are the building and safety standards. Allowing pot grow-ops on FVRD agricultural land is still on the table. But the challenge is that FVRD contains a lot of agricultural land. Many private homes sit on land with farm class, which comes with tax exemptions. “If it’s an ALC (Agricultural Land Commission plot), do they (marijuana producers) get a tax exemption for farm land?” said Gipps. “Which wouldn’t be fair to all the other people that are farming to support their families.” For this reason, FVRD is leaning towards allowing medical marijuana production in industrial zones only. Although FVRD has no figures on how much of its land is used for marijuana production, Gipps says that FVRD “inspectors have tripped across many.”

The new tennis courts will be lit and also available for the community. Another corner off the main hall leads to a large industrial kitchen that is a prime teaching facility. It connects to an open space in front of the glass wall where foldable tables signal a cafeteria. There’s also a Murphy fold-up stage for students to hold concerts during lunch breaks.

Chilliwack Secondary students will file into a modern new space come Tuesday as the district finishes up construction on the school building. The new and much improved CSS, about double the size of the old building, will open up to the community as never before. In addition to the many rentable spaces, the facility will house a wealth of community services as well as the Fraser Valley Distance Education school. “The face of the community is about to change,” said prin-
cipal Rick Jones. “This learning institution, when all its parts are running in a few months — the learning centre, the turf field — it’s going to have more opportunities for young people than anything I know of.” Jones guided members of the media on a sneak peak tour on Tuesday. The main school doors open to a large hall facing floor-toceiling windows and a view of mountains. In one corner is the new home of the Chilliwack Storm, a professional gym that Jones expects will draw athletic students to the school. There’s a

But when in place, the hairdressing program will be yet another way for students to develop career skills in high school. “We are optimistic of having a program that will actually ready students for the workplace and put them well on their way to a Red Seal hairdressing certificate,” said Jones.

Cities target gaps in care for mentally ill Reopening Riverview Hospital among proposals for UBCM Jeff Nagel Black Press Several Metro Vancouver cities are criticizing the provincial government for mishandling care of the mentally ill and some are going so far as to suggest reopening the closed Riverview psychiatric hospital. The issue is being pushed onto the provincial stage at the Sept. 16-20 Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, where multiple resolutions will target inadequate psychiatric care and the knock-on effects for policing and other services. Maple Ridge council is behind
the suggested reinstatement of Riverview Hospital, in Coquitlam, as a “modern centre of excellence” for mental health care and support since it has the necessary infrastructure and a long history. Its resolution argues inadequate treatment and housing for those with mental illness that followed the provincial policy shift from institutional to community care has led to “unacceptably poor outcomes” for B.C.’s neediest citizens and severe financial and social burdens for local cities. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson supports the concept, provided it’s a fully modern incarnation of
Riverview and checks and balances are in place to protect patients. It’s time the issue gets a serious airing, she said. “There’s no place to house people to help them get well and get them back to a productive place in society,” Jackson said. “Everybody talks around it in the Lower Mainland but nobody seems to do anything about assisting these people.” Jackson said a catalyst for her community came in recent years when police took a young North Delta man to Surrey Memorial Hospital. He was later released and went directly to the Alex Fraser Bridge, climbed the railing and jumped. She said it makes no sense to her that in most cases there’s noth-
ing that can apparently be done but to release a mental health patient back to the community. Delta council has also advanced a resolution to UBCM calling on the province to revamp the intake of mental health patients and set up secure holding facilities with trained guards. Jackson said the aim would be to reduce the time police officers spend waiting in hospital for staff there to take over responsibility for a patient they’ve brought. “It can sometimes be one and a half or two hours depending on what’s going on at the hospital emergency at the time,” she said. “That takes our officers off the road when they be needed somewhere else.” Another Delta resolution would

call for the creation by senior governments of early intervention centres to house mental health or addictions patients who a doctor decides may be a risk to themselves or others. The province says hundreds of mental health beds and other community supports have opened over the years but civic leaders contend it’s not enough and their police increasingly deal with those patients instead of other crime. One of the problems is that, left on their own, people with the most severe mental illnesses don’t seek out care and often end up addicted through self-medication. Coquitlam Coun. Craig Hodge said he hopes support from UBCM for the Riverview resolution might Continued: UBCM/ p4

Farmed salmon protesters claim victory Alina Konevski The Progress The Chilliwack chapter of the Farmed Salmon Boycott held a celebration rally at the Safeway grocery store Tuesday after the company announced it would adopt a new sustainable seafood policy.

that open net fish farms located on migratory rivers used by wild salmon release toxins and diseases that contribute to the decline of wild salmon stocks. Salmon from such fish farms should not be sold to consumers, the group believes. Leader Eddie Gardner has welcomed Safeway’s new policy. “This is encouraging news and we applaud this sustainable alternative to open net pens on the migration routes of wild salmon,” said Gardner in a release. “This helps us move

closer to making Chilliwack an Atlantic farmed fish free zone.” The manager of the Safeway at 45850 Yale Road led Gardner on a tour of the seafood section of the store, where a banner announcing the new policy was displayed. Safeway Canada has partnered with SeaChoice, a Canadian comprehensive sustainable seafood program, to advise consumers to avoid redlisted seafood, such as net-pen farmed Atlantic salmon and Yellowfin tuna. “Canada Safeway continues
to build a strong base in our efforts to completely transition our fresh and frozen seafood products to sustainable sources by the end of 2015,” notes the company’s website. The company also launched its own brand of canned tuna that was sustainably caught. Safeway joins Save-On Foods, Coopers, and Price Smart in banning open net farmed Atlantic salmon, according to the Farmed Salmon Boycott. akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/alinakonevski

You have it in you! Q: Is there anything I can do to treat the fine lines under my eyes? A: Yes! We are very excited to offer a new procedure called Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP). PRP works by concentrating platelets and fibrin from your own blood and reinjecting it at a particular site to correct a targeted skin imperfection, such as fine lines and wrinkles. The skin looks rejuvenated and skin tone and texture is improved! The procedure takes 45 minutes and is completed in 3 treatments spaced 4 weeks apart. It is effective for treating dark circles & fine lines and wrinkles under the eyes; chest and cleavage wrinkles & neck lines to name a few.
spur the province to shift its approach on the future of the 244-acre Riverview lands. Riverview was closed in 2012 after a gradual shutdown over 10 years, with the goal of moving people back to their own community for mental health care. Grass is no longer cut and the buildings are being minimally maintained. Fraser Health still manages three facilities on Riverview for people needing specialized services. And the health authority has a new Assertive Community
Treatment (ACT) team, which works specifically with people needing the highest level of care who won’t go to clinics. But Riverview continues to be viewed as a central and ideal location for more services, and Hodge said he believes some of the newer buildings, such as Valleyview, which was shut down last year, could be re-purposed as a short-term solution for those with the highest need. “There are people on our streets or out of sight that are not getting the care that they need,” Hodge said, suggesting that, perhaps the move towards de-institutionalization went too far.
No long-term plan has yet been released for River view and speculation is rife on the property’s future. In an exchange in the legislature this summer, new Coquitlam-Maillardville NDP MLA Selina Robinson asked Housing Minister Rich Coleman for assurance the property wouldn’t be parcelled off and sold. Coleman responded that the province sees the property as a “long-term asset” for health care, mental health, addictions and other opportunities to help people in B.C. but wouldn’t be specific as to the future plans. – with files from Diane Strandberg / TriCity News
Pot zoning FVRD from Front FVRD expects to sort out its policy before the end of 2013. “We are wrestling with the topic right now. It’ll be going back to electoral area services committee probably by October, and we’ll get some firm direction from them at that time,” said Gipps. The federal government announced in January that licences to grow marijuana in residential homes for private medical use will be phased out by April 2014. Instead, all medical marijuana in the country will be grown and distributed by large, highly regulated industrial operators.

Oil spill response gap no surprise to enviro minister Jeff Nagel Black Press Environment Minister Mary Polak says advice she got from staff in June on the inadequacy of B.C.’s oil spill response capability largely underscored what the government had already disclosed a year ago. She was responding to the Freedom of Information release of her ministerial briefing book, which warned the environment ministry isn’t adequately staffed to meet existing oil spill risks, let alone those from proposed new export pipelines. “Even a moderatesized spill would overwhelm the province’s ability to respond and could result in a significant liability for government,” the document said. On land, it noted, an hour-long spill from Enbridge’s proposed Nor thern Gateway project could spill 21,000 barrels of diluted bitumen into the B.C. wilderness. Polak said in an interview little of the information came as a surprise. The province last summer released a series of reports that bluntly spelled out B.C.’s deficiencies to backstop its demand – issued at the same time – that any new heavy oil pipeline meet five key conditions, including world-leading marine and land spill protections. Although her briefing book said spill safeguard requirements imposed on industry
in both Washington State and Alaska are “far in excess of what is required in B.C.” the 2012 documents went into considerably more detail. “That’s the entire basis for the work we have under taken,” Polak said. “What I saw in the briefing notes just added to the urgency of conducting that work. It reminds you that while industry continues to develop and our economy grows, we have not over time kept pace with the changes.” Proposals to improve both marine and land spill responses are in the works for release later this year or early 2014. The land response initiative aims to improve prevention and cleanup measures not just for pipelines, but also for hauling petroleum by train or tanker truck. Marine rules also must improve safety not just for oil tankers but less obvious sources of potential spills, Polak said, such as large cargo ships that carry as much bunker fuel oil as a small tanker. NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert accused the province of stacking its oil spill advisory committee with industry representatives and said that’s unlikely to lead to world-leading spill prevention policies. “The government is allowing the oil industry to dominate the discussion, when a major spill would devastate not only our environ-

operations and capabilities. A land spill response corporation or cooperative funded by industry, similar to the one charged with cleanup of marine spills, is one potential option. Petroleum movers want to be involved, she added.
“They recognize it’s part of the social licence they need to have in place to operate in this province,” Polak said. Asked about the federal government’s decision to relocate its Vancouver oil spill response office to Quebec, Polak said it’s
too soon to say what the impact may be. “It’s a concern whenever you have change,” she said, but added B.C. may seek a different spill response coordination system. “We believe we’ve seen progress,” Polak said of shifts in Ottawa’s approach to
oil spill risks. “We’ve moved from a place where there wasn’t a fullsome recognition on the part of the feds of our needs here on the west coast to the point where they appear to be interested in collaborating with us on this.”

Negotiations with unions representing more than 25,000 school support staff are back on next week, with a strike mandate already in place for B.C.’s 60 school districts as the new school year gets underway. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said Wednesday he is hopeful that a settlement with clerical staff, custodians, bus drivers and other support staff can be achieved without picket lines disrupting classes. Talks broke off in August and are set to resume for three days starting Sept. 4. The Canadian Union of Public Employees, representing most of the workers, says they haven’t had a raise in four years. The latest contract expired in June 2012 after a two-year wage freeze was imposed across the B.C. public service. Fassbender wouldn’t comment directly on talks, except to say that school districts are working to set up “savings accounts” in their operations to fund wage increases within existing district budgets. The government’s “cooperative gains” mandate requires all raises to be funded by internal savings such as shared administrative functions.
CUPE is seeking raises of two per cent per year. “Our members will take full-scale job action if the government doesn’t show a commitment to bargaining,” CUPE representative Colin Pawson said in a statement on the weekend, as the union prepared to start an advertising campaign to attract public support. Fassbender said funding for public education is at record levels despite falling enrolment. While some urban districts are growing, the education ministry forecasts that there will be 526,000 full-time students this year, down 9,000 from the last school year. The total budget remains the same, $4.7 billion, of which about 80 per cent pays wages of teachers, support staff and administrators. Soon after being appointed minister by Premier Christy Clark, Fassbender appointed a provincial negotiator to take over province-wide issues from the bargaining agent for school districts. Negotiator Peter Cameron told union leaders in mid-August he would not return to talks until boards have savings plans in place. Fassbender said Wednesday that “a large majority are well underway, and many are in place” so talks can resume.

Pointsof View
The Chilliwack Progress is published by Black Press Group Ltd., every Tuesday and Thursday at 45860 Spadina Ave., Chilliwack.

A job half done... The refrain has become so familiar, it would be amusing were it not so tragic. “Cities target gaps in care for mentally ill,” reads our page 3 headline. The gaps are nothing new, and neither is the call for more support. Just last week, Canadian police chiefs were talking about the need for a greater commitment by governments to deal with the issue. Vancouver police chief Jim Chu, speaking at a meeting of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, said police officers are spending too much time dealing with people struggling with mental health issues. “We went from the agency of last resort to the mental-health service agency of first resort,” he said. Indeed, according to the association, the number of individuals apprehended under the Mental Health Act has quadrupled since 2002. Chilliwack is no exception. Local RCMP spend an inordinate amount of time responding to situations that have mental illness at their core – not criminal behaviour. Like many detachments, Chilliwack has a dedicated officer who co-ordinates dealings with people whose mental illness brings them into frequent contact with the police. But the task is huge, and the gaps

difficult to fill. City mayors are turning up the pressure on governments. They plan to debate the issue at the upcoming Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. Among the issues being discussed is the reopening of Riverview Hospital. That institution was finally closed for good in 2012 after a slow devolution of over 10 years. The concept behind the closure was sound. The practice of housing individuals in giant institutional warehouses was seen as antiquated and, indeed, barbaric. The idea was that these individuals would respond better, and their care would be more humane, if they were treated in the community. But while governments have been good a closing institutions, they’ve struggled providing adequate support outside those institutions. The reasons are complex. But the results are what we’ve been seeing in our cities for years. Calls for action are bandied about so frequently it’s hard not to become discouraged. But we cannot surrender to cynicism. The current system has limped along for far too long. It’s time to get it fixed. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Metro marching to its own drummer on incinerator Garbage or to use the more politically correct term waste is big business. Really big. It can also be a messy business, particularly when politicians get involved. So no big surprise then that the left hand doesn’t seem to care what the right hand is doing at Metro Vancouver when it comes to regional waste management. On the one hand Lower Mainland municipalities have policies in place to divert up to 80 per cent of waste by reducing, reusing and recycling and on the other hand Metro Vancouver has just short-listed 10 proposals to increase its incineration capacity by 370,000 tonnes per year through a new $500 million plus waste-to-energy incinerator. And make no mistake, a second incinerator is being fast-tracked by Metro Vancouver officials. The regional authority wants to have a site selected by 2015 and the fuse lit by 2018. One site under consideration is on Tsawwassen First Nation treaty lands, two others are on Vancouver Island.

Already the startling dichotomy between Metro Vancouver’s two approaches – recycling versus burn baby burn – is raising fears that the region could be put in the bizarre position of having to import waste just to feed the insatiable thirst of a second incinerator. Which may explain why Metro Vancouver is considering a bylaw next week that some might call a thinly veiled attempt to corner the market on garbage by reguDermod lating where waste TRAVIS management firms can dump. In its rush to incinerate, Metro Vancouver is also running roughshod over numerous conditions set down by the provincial government in 2011, 2012 and again earlier this year. First, there’s that pesky little matter about being a good neighbour. One of the conditions was that
before an incinerator could proceed “at a minimum Metro Vancouver must establish a working group with the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) on the potential impact to the (common) airshed due to additional waste-to-energy capacity.” Regardless of how ever wellintentioned they were meant to be, the recent dog and pony shows put on by Metro Vancouver officials in the Fraser Valley do not substitute for consultation or the establishment of a working group with the FVRD. Then there are questions over the economic viability of a $500 million incinerator. The B.C. government’s conditions include the requirement that “communities must target 70 per cent waste diversion through reducing, reusing and recycling before they consider waste-to-energy as an alternative to landfilling.” A condition that raises an obvious question: if the target is met will there be enough garbage left over to feed not only Metro Vancouver’s
existing 280,000 tonnes per year incinerator, but a second one as well? Keep in mind that Canadians throw away more garbage than any other country in the developed world. According to a report by the Conference Board of Canada, we produced 777 kilograms of waste per capita in 2009, with more than 75 per cent of it ending up in landfills or incinerators. That’s a lot of potential for recycling before incineration should even be on the table as an option. But the most critical condition that the B.C. government set down was in 2012 when new regulations were adopted that require all proposed waste-to-energy facilities in the Lower Mainland or Fraser Valley to go through a full and mandatory environmental assessment. And in case that point was missed on anyone, it was reiterated this past February when then BC environment minister Terry Lake informed the legislature that the government

had been “very clear that if an inregion, waste-to-energy facility is considered by Metro Vancouver, it will undergo a full B.C. environmental assessment process and full consultation with the Fraser Valley Regional District.” Lighting the fuse by 2018 is beginning to look a lot like wishful thinking. Ironically, it was only 10 years ago that Metro Vancouver in its then incarnation as the Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) opposed plans for a gas-fired power plant in Washington state due to “its proximity to a major residential area, the City of Abbotsford” and “the adverse health impacts of plant emissions on local residents.” But that was then and this is now. This time Metro Vancouver seems intent on marching to the beat of its own drummer paying only lip service to its neighbours and – if it can get away with it – the province.

FANTASY FARMS PRESENTS
A dream to save Minter Gardens Bronwyn is her name, she is a very young lady with a big dream and Bronwyn has a plan to make sure that her dream will reach reality. “I have it all in my head for now, but I will put it on paper ASAP” as she let us know. We met Bronwyn for the first time last Sunday at Minter Gardens in Chilliwack/ Rosedale. She was helping in the Gift Shop at Minter Gardens and talking to some other visitors about the sad reality that 2013 will be the final season that we can visit Minter Gardens and that Monday, October 14, 2013 will be the last day of operation. We were just leaving the gardens and enjoyed with a last look the many beautiful things in the little store when I saw this enthusiastic young girl and her listeners and I heard her saying: “If I can help it, Minter Gardens never will be closed. I will make sure that I later can have my own wedding celebration also in this beautiful gardens as so many other couples over all this years had before me. I can’t sleep anymore and I think about the many possibilities to keep Minter Gardens open for all of us; but I can’t do it alone. We all need to work together and we have to involve not only the people from our area but from the whole of BC and Canada and even from all over the world. We have to involve the different Governments, Municipalities, Provinces and the Federal Government. Think
about what we could make from the Gardens. A big Hotel on part of the parking place would attract more people to our area, it would stimulate more business in our area, we could keep the gardens open all year long for educational purposes for all schools from all over the country, making a part of it to an organic garden. The students could help to keep the gardens clean and tidy; it would encourages other entrepreneurs to start more businesses in our area and many of us would not have to look somewhere else to find a job. Minter Gardens should be saved as a national park and not be changed into another place for a few individual people who would build just their houses. I would like to work day and night to - - - -” I joined the conversation for a while, since I was happy to meet finally somebody with a plan. Bronwyn was committed and I knew, one could feel it, she was very serious about her dream and her plan to do everything to save Minter Gardens for all of us and make it even more attractive for visitors from all over the world. I was sorry that I had to leave since my visitors from the Netherlands were waiting for me on the parking place. They had planned to visited some other places in the area and it was their last day before leaving for Europe again. Yesterday, Monday, August 26 I went back to Minter Gardens, just to talk to Bronwyn
about her plans, to encourage her and to offer our help. I learned that she was a student and Sunday was her last day at Minter Gardens before she had to go back to school again. Her former colleagues mentioned that there were many more people with many more good ideas, among others: to build a cable railway up to Mount Cheam; that would be an attraction for visitors from all over the world; or to build close to the gardens a retreat for high powered business executives from big companies who could invest as shareholders in the gardens, together with all of us and we would leave the gardens open as it is now for the public. What ever, we all have to help Bronwyn to bring her dream into reality and save Minter Gardens for all of us, but special for the future of our children. What can you do? Let us work together. Herewith I would like to encourage Bronwyn by saying: Go for it, I know there are many people who have the right connections, the financial power, the time and the conviction and they will give you all the help and assistance necessary to be successful. Just start and others will follow you. You are a born leader, a convincing advocate, a beautiful girl and you will be a role model for many young people and a pillar for our society.

Principal Rick Jones stands in the new Chilliwack secondary library, as the old school continues to be demolished outside. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
New CSS redefines learning space CSS from Front retractable bleachers and the floor. It connects to the TV studio that will serve as the green room. At regular spots in the 20,200 square metre building are gathering spaces with moveable cube chairs to encourage the 1,050 students to take a seat and work together. “We really pushed kids to be able to gather,” said Jones. Even the new metal lockers greeting CSS students have a special history: they were used by Olympic athletes in Whistler. Upstairs is the open library, with workstations and sofas dominating the centre. Although the view from the library’s wall of glass will eventually be of the surrounding hills, right now students can witness the demolition of the old school building. Jones expects the structure to be dismantled within a week. Clearing the enormous piles of rubble may take longer. Unique to the high school is the collection of community services that will eventually take up permanent residence in the Neighbourhood Learning Centre wing of the school. This includes the YMCA, Chilliwack Community Services, and the Ministry of Children and Family Development. “It’s leased space, but having them in the building is something we’re looking forward to,” said Jones. It’s part of a government initiative to tie public schools closer to the community, explained school board trustee Heather Maahs, who joined the tour on Tuesday. “Part of the philosophy is all about making better use of the schools, because they just sit, especially during the summer, when they should be used by the community,” said Maahs. A steady stream of community members
will flow through the building during all hours. They’ll come for the social services, or to use a computer lab, or to hold events in the new cedar-pannelled aboriginal gathering centre. They will rent the gymnasiums, turf field, and tennis courts. “I think there’s some people optimistic out there that (the new school) might be a contributor to revitalization of this side of town, with the Paramount Theatre down now. So your bookends now are the new courthouse and the new Chilliwack Secondary,” said Jones. “There’s a lot of people hoping that it might be the start of something in downtown Chilliwack.” The Fraser Valley Distance Education school, a public K-12 school for 3,000 students completing requirements online or by correspondence, will also have its permanent home in a CSS wing. About 200 people will end up working at the CSS building by January. Chilliwack Secondary will have none of the structural problems of the last building. Its LEED Gold status means its much more energy efficient, as heat pumps and displacement ventilation minimize wasted heating. And the technology upgrades promise to change the nature of classrooms as overhead projectors and document cameras expand teaching innovation. To help students, staff, and the community navigate the enormous new building, there will be two touchscreen way finders from October, where people touch a diagram of the school to figure out how to get to where they want to go. “I cannot wait until Tuesday morning when we open the doors and see the reactions of the kids,” said Jones. akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/alinakonevski

John Yap, the parliamentary secretary for the liquor policy review, said all other Canadian provinces offer refrigeration in most, if not all, of their government liquor stores. “This is another area where we think B.C. is lagging behind other jurisdictions,” Yap said. “Refrigeration units seem to be very popular with customers, but the public and industry will now have the oppor-

Smart meter class action lawsuit off to slow start Black Press Opponents of BC Hydro’s wireless smart meters are scrambling to quickly assemble enough people willing to be part of a planned class-action lawsuit they hope delivers a permanent opt-out from the program. Victoria resident Sharon Noble, with the group Citizens for Safe Technology, said success in convincing a judge to certify the class action may hinge on how many people take part. She estimated Wednesday that 100 to 150 people are registered – a start she called slow – but added hundreds more sign-ups are likely in progress. Given the number of people who have blocked smart meter installation or had one installed against their wishes, she said, it would be surprising if thousands don’t join the lawsuit. “The courts would be very influenced by having a large number,” Noble said, adding a judge could soon begin considering whether to certify the class action. “The more people we have signed on by then, the more likely the courts would look on this as being a very significant movement, as opposed to a movement of a handful.” About 60,000 households have refused smart meters or less than four per cent of all BC Hydro customers. BC Hydro has not yet issued its response to the claim filed July 25 on behalf of representative plaintiff Nomi Davis. It demands free choice “without extortive fees, coercion or conditions designed to intimidate.” Registering with the lawsuit costs $100. The provincial government has indicated those who still have analog power meters they want to keep will be able to pay around $20 a month extra to continue manual meter readings. Opponents aren’t happy with the fees or Hydro indications that smart meters may still replace analog ones as they break down. They also say those

with smart meters should have the ability to turn off wireless transmissions. “The opt-out option that Hydro is offering needs to be a legitimate one,” White Rock resident Linda Ewart said. “What they need to say is
‘If you don’t want one of these meters, you don’t need to have them.’” BC Hydro officials say the lead plaintiff’s analog meter was broken and had to be replaced for safety reasons. “BC Hydro will work through the judicial pro-
cess to explain why we are obligated to replace a customer’s meter when there is potential for a safety hazard,” said Greg Reimer, executive vicepresident of transmission and distribution, in a statement.

As I walked into Branch 280 of the Royal Canadian Legion, I was directed to what is referred to as the Cecil Merritt room to meet up with Walter Webster and Carl Brownell. After exchanging the usual pleasantries that are expressed when meeting someone for the first time, in true military fashion, we got down to business. I was immediately drawn to these two fellows, who by all accounts appeared to be great friends. The two proudly laid out the feats of Lieutenant Colonel Cecil Merritt, a Canadian who was awarded the Victoria Cross for his exem-
plary leadership and valour during the Dieppe Raid. With that explanation out of the way, they were all set to fill me in on Branch 280s Colour Party. Now the flags used by the Royal Canadian Legion are referred to as Colours and leading the Colour Party is the Sergeant-at-Arms, a position that Carl has held and that is currently being served by Walter. Until he was 17, Carl Brownell lived in Windsor, Ontario along with his 15 siblings. His father had served during WWI while two of his brothers were in the Second World War. He wasn’t particularly

and church halls. We have 900 paid-up members and as a zone commander said, we are the Best Little Legion in BC,� he enthused. In total, Carl has been a dedicated volunteer with the Branch for 37 years. As for Walter, he too comes from a strong military line. “My grandfather fought in the Boer War, my dad was in the army, my uncle served in WWII and my brother was in the RCAF,� he said proudly. While he sold heavy haulers as a career, for 17 years Walter was a member of the reserve forces in BC; part of the Rocky Mountain Rangers and the Westminster Regiment. Currently, Walter is the Branch’s 1st Vice President, in addition to serving as the Colour Party’s Sergeant-at-Arms. As the lead for the Colour Party, Walter issues the orders to the members carrying the Colours. “I’m heading into my 3rd year as Sergeantat-Arms and this is something that I really enjoy. It’s a respect for veterans. We are part of the Remembrance Day Ceremony, we are involved in any of the local parades and we do all of the memorials for veterans that have passed away. We are a busy Legion. We travel to local schools and are part of their assemblies during the poppy campaign, we provide Continued: ANA/ p22

fond of school and was searching for something to do. One day, he opened up the paper and saw an ad whereby you Ana could MACEDO join the RCAF (Royal Canadian Air Force) while learning a trade at the same time. “I decided that this was what I wanted to do but if you weren’t 18, you had to have your parents sign for you. My mom was willing to sign but my dad refused. Eventually, my sister-in-law convinced him and he ended up signing the paper. I joined the air force and spent 25 years in the military. I served in Europe, with NATO, for two years and then the rest of the time was served in Canada,� he explained. After retiring from the military, Carl went on to work for the City of Chilliwack’s Parks n’ Rec department and retired from that position 15 years ago. Carl has been a faithful, loyal and active member of Branch 280 since its inception and over the years he has been involved in every committee. “We received our Charter in 1976 and officially opened our doors in July 1981. Before then, we met in the Cheam Centre, in basements

The district’s former secretary-treasurer, Maureen Carradice, will return to human resource management. “Her area of strength, that she has also identified, is that she would like to continue to be involved in more depth with human resources. And they were happy to have her,” said Novak. “Maureen’s well known in the province. Her knowledge and skills in the area of human resources is second to none. We’re thrilled that she’s in that position.” Novak is optimistic that the short-term nature of the secretary-treasurer position is at an end. “We have a really strong and stable team here at the district office, and I think that will stand us in good stead in the future for retention and having people settle into their positions and be here for the long term. So I’m optimistic that we will have consistent long term leadership.”

RCMP’s Air 1 gets central home
FANTASY FARMS PRESENTS
Monique Tamminga Black Press They are the RCMP’s eye in the sky, but now Air One and Air Two will be a lot closer for Chilliwack residents The BC RCMP Air Services section has moved their two helicopters from YVR South Terminal to the Langley Regional Airport. Insp. Nigel Bushe, Officer in Charge of the Air Services, said the move to Langley makes them more central to get to crime scenes and it is also more cost effective. “To get our helicopter out of YVR we often had to wait 10 to 15 minutes to get clearance because it is such a busy airport,” said Bushe. “We didn’t get priority treatment, even if it was an emergency.” Now Air One can get from Langley Airport to Whalley in three minutes. A flight out to Chilliwack could be just as quick. The RCMP have signed a long-term lease for hangar 47 and have been flying out of Langley since June. “Langley is dead centre,” said Bushe. Right now there are two pilots and two tactical officers but Bushe is hoping that number

That will allow us to hover, and do border searches and work with the Americans,” he said. The RCMP Air One launched in 2006. Shortly afterwards, the province bought a second helicopter. Since then air services has helped with hundreds of arrests, vehicle pursuits and recovery, locating suspects try-
ing to run and hide and helping find lost hikers. “We track down a lot of stolen vehicles, at least a couple a week,” said tactical officer Const. Tammy Sandquist. She uses a camera that can zoom in 1,500 feet, allowing her to get details like gender, hair colour, clothing of suspects and make and model of vehicles. They have the ability to track the speed of a vehicle just as if they were driving behind it, she said. They do a lot of traffic work,
especially on the Sea to Sky Highway, where they have caught many excessive speeders. “I’m not really a techie. I like to fly and catch the bad guys,” she said of all the equipment used inside the helicopter. They also use thermal imaging equipment. “It’s a nice tool that has helped us located many missing people who are lost in trails. If they shine any type of light when they hear us, we can track them immediately.”

iPhoneography 2013 Photo #218 Othello-Quintette Tunnels in Hope, B.C. Taken on 08.21.13 • Photo by Jenna Hauck
The term ‘iPhoneography’ is the art of shooting and processing photos entirely within an Apple iPhone. The project iPhoneography 2013 is being shot over the course of this year. Chilliwack Progress photojournalist, Jenna Hauck, uses her iPhone 4S to capture iPhoneography images here in Chilliwack, and beyond. The photos are of anything and everything including people, animals, nature, cityscapes, abstracts and more. The iPhone has its advantages (small and discreet) and its disadvantages (a single built-in lens, and nearly everything is automatic like the aperture and shutter speed). This project is a chance for her to experiment with a new form of photography, and share with you what can be done using a simple camera phone. Most of the images will never make it to The Progress newsprint editions, but they will be uploaded to our Flickr photo page on a regular basis. So far, more than 200 images have been added to the project. To see more images from iPhoneography 2013, go to www.flickr. com/thechilliwackprogress/sets photo@theprogress.com twitter.com/PhotoJennalism
Chilliwack Library book club starts up again in September Chilliwack Library’s book club is starting again in September. After a year of reading and discussing, and then letting their brains go for the summer, it is time to start it all again. They will be meeting on the fourth Wednesday evening of every month at the Chilliwack Library. The first meeting will be on Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. They’re not your average book club at Chilliwack Library; they love to discuss, argue, chat and snack, and most of all, they’re happy to have you tell us what you’d like to read in the book club. They’re not strict about attendance either so please feel free to drop in, out and back in again at any time. Of course, they appreciate the fact that book clubs are an excellent method of improving literacy, expanding horizons, eating
yummy snacks and getting you out of the house on a Wednesday night, but they’re mostly looking forward to the way that book clubs can bring people together to enjoy and discuss the most simple (and best) entertainment ever created. Come on out and satisfy your craving for books and blabbing while they satisfy our curiosity about the first book of the fall: The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein, a 2008 New York Times best seller. If you’ve ever wondered how dogs think, wonder no more — The Art of Racing in the Rain is told from Enzo’s point of view, he is a philosopher with a nearly human soul, educated by TV, an up-and-coming racecar driver, and… a dog. Please call the Chilliwack Library at 604-792-1941 or drop in and ask for the Chilliwack
Library’s September book club title, let us know your email address to be put on the mailing list, and pick up the first month’s book starting in next month.
More events at the library The Friends of the Chilliwack Library invite you to a Book Sale Blitz on Saturday, Sept. 14, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Chilliwack Library. All books are $5 a bag (bag provided). The Shocking Truth About Our Food: Join Kristi Kozel at the Sardis Library on Sept. 17 at 7:30 p.m. for an introduction to the emerging science of glyconutrients and their essential role in achieving optimal health, including proper immune function. Learn what is wrong with our food and what we can do about it. Seating is limited.

Get ready for a little classic country Chilliwack Senior Recreation Centre Jammers and an Evening of Classic Country
John McDermott to bring his golden voice to Chilliwack John McDermott can recall the precise moment when he realized that giving up his day job and making singing his full-time career had been the right decision. That moment came at 8 pm on October 5th, 1993 at the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium in Halifax as he walked on stage to a full house and a thunderous East Coast welcome. It was his first concert with his own band, after a year as the opening act for the internationally renowned Irish group, The Chieftains. He was received with such wild encore-inducing enthusiasm the concert turned into a 4 hour marathon. John was
hooked! Now, 20 years and more than 25 albums later, John McDermott is an international recording star and household name. Besides his stellar musical career - platinum, double-platinum, tripleplatinum albums and multiple Juno nominations - he is also known for his commitment to veterans’ causes - the U. S. Congressional Medal of Honour Society’s Bob Hope Award, the Ted Williams Globe & Anchor Award from the USMC, and here at home, a commendation from the Minister of Veteran’s Affairs for this ongo-
ing work, which includes his foundation McDermott House Canada, which is dedicated to improving care in the final stages of terminal illness and providing a warm, welcoming place to stay for Canada’s veterans, military, first responders and their families. In Concert, whether he is sharing the stage with a topnotch group of musical friends or touring the world as part of the famed Three Irish Tenors, McDermott continues to enchant audiences with his beautiful tenor voice and sensitive renditions. Though time and travel have introduced him to a wealth of new mate-

rial and experiences, he manages to incorporate that diversity into his performances, while retaining the charm and humour that endeared him to audiences from the beginning. For this 20th Anniversar y National Tour - a two decade retrospective - McDermott will highlight a variety of songs from his early recordings through his latest releases. Oct. 27 - Chilliwack Cultural Centre - Box Office: 604-391-7469Tickets are $47.50 (tax and facility fees included; handling charges may apply) and are available from the box offices listed below.

Have a hankering to learn to play guitar in a friendly setting or strum along with people who like acoustic country music? Chilliwack Senior Recreation Centre Jammers present an Evening of Classic Country at Chilliwack Central Community Park Sept. 7, 4-8 p.m. Rod and Marnie Kidder have been hosting the Chilliwack Senior Recreation Centre Jam Session for the past several years every Saturday night. They have seen an increase over the years of local talent, in all levels of ability, from beginners, to seasoned musicians. “We are always happy to have an audience who feel comfortable to sing along, dance or just to tap their toes.” On any given evening we have between eighty to 18 musicians, and we have a ball. “We encourage acoustic musicians to come out and bring your acoustic instruments, and play along with us.” Ever y year they have performed for the Chilliwack Senior Recreation Centre members for Christmas, Easter, Valentine’s functions and it’s enjoyable for the jammers. “Our musicians are always happy to sing and play to an appreciative audience, and wished that it could be done more often.” So, it is an natural extension, to do a Classic Country Music in the Park” On Saturday September 7, at Chilliwack Central Community Park, from 4-8 pm we will be providing Local Countr y Talent for the country enthusiasts. If the weather does not co-operate we will be across the street at the Rec Centre indoors.

Chilliwack-raised author earns accolades for novel Chilliwack-grown author, Suzanne de Montigny, was recently awarded a Global E-Book Award for her tween novel, The
Shadow of the Unicorn: The Legacy. Her novel, about unicorns surviving the aftermath of the great asteroid, won Gold in the category of
Best Fantasy/Alternate History. “It’s kind of nice to have my story recognized,” de Montigny said. “You spend years
writing and rewriting. It’s really great to see all my hard work come to fruition.” The Shadow of the Unicorn was also a final-
ist in the Orangeberry Hall of Fame Awards, an award based on UK reviews, and is one of Muse It Up Publishing’s top sellers.
De Montigny continues to give half of all her profits to the Third World Eye Care Society, a group of eye specialists who travel to

underdeveloped nations carrying thousands of used eyeglasses and performing surgery for free. Here is a excerpt from her novel: A loud, hissing sound filled the air. The unicorns looked up, their eyes filled with horror. Azaria, a unicorn colt, is intrigued when the young, clairvoyant dinosaur, Darius, foresees a terrifying change to their world. When a giant fireball smashes into the earth, the unicorns struggle to survive the hurricanes and starvation that follow. But nothing compares to the danger when the creatures-that-walk-ontwo-legs settle in the valley, and their leader discovers the healing power in the unicorns’ horns. Greedy and ruthless, Ishmael will stop at nothing in his pursuit of wealth – even the complete extinction of the herd. Azaria must find a way to outsmart Ishmael before it’s too late. The Shadow of the Unicorn: The Legacy is available on Amazon, Kobo, and Muse It Up Publishing. The booktrailer may be viewed at: http://youtu.be/ St9OsyK974o

When Trudy Beyak decided to write a book about the socalled gender of God, she knew it would be a controversial subject. But she didn’t imagine she would end up interviewing 50 scholars, celebrities and leaders of faith who were open to discussing the idea that God has a maternal side. Those interviews are now the subject of Beyak’s new book, The Mother Heart of God: Unveiling the Mystery of the Father’s Maternal Love. The book, published by Hachette Book Group, the second largest publishing company in the world, was recently nominated for the 2013 Governor General “Literary Nonfiction” award. Beyak, who was a journalist with the Abbotsford News from 1989 to 2008, took a one-year sabbatical in 2007 to write the book based on an idea she has had since 1993. In 2007, a Google search of “gender of God” turned up very few results, Beyak said. By 2011, the search turned up 25 million hits, and now more than 100 million can be found, making the timing better than ever to discuss a subject that, for centuries, has been taboo.

Beyak said new attention on the issue has drawn out texts in the Bible that refer to God’s maternal side. These portions were either missed or deliberately ignored over time, Beyak said. “Some people would says it’s because leaders in Christian denominations have mostly been men, and they looked at the Scriptures through the eyes of men,” she said. But Beyak said she does not want the book to read like a “feminist rant.” “I’m not a feminist. I’m pro women and I’m pro men.” Beyak said she approached the book in the same way that she conducted research as a journalist – by interviewing the
experts. “I approached it like a big news story,” she said. Among the people she spoke with were: monks at Westminster Abbey in Mission; Dr. Raymond Damadian, the inventor of the MRI machine; the Vatican and renowned Catholic scholars; Della Reese, co-star of the popular TV show Touched by an Angel; and Jurgen Moltmann, one of the world’s leading Protestant theologians. The book is carried locally at “Blessings Christian Marketplace,” 45950 Alexander Avenue, Chilliwack and most Chapters stores in Canada. For more information, visit themotherheartofgod.com.

Keep your grass growing greener There is no better time of the year than right now to seed a new lawn or, in fact, to overseed old ones. Reasonably warm late summer weather, cooler evenings and heavy dew are all ideal ingredients for success when seeding or overseeding. If you are planning to put in a new lawn this fall, there are a few things you should know. One of the most important factors is proper soil preparation. Working the soil deeply (8-16 inches), adding plenty of sand and making sure the soil is open and porous is critical to allow grass roots to penetrate deep to find their own moisture. It’s important to understand that lawn grasses love a sandy loam with little organic matter. As a matter of fact, lawn grasses create their own organic matter. Within two years of planting a new lawn, even in straight sand, you would have one of the finest vegetable garden areas possible. Lawn grasses require excellent drainage. In the Lower Mainland, all the playing fields are planted in at least 12 inches of pure sand. These lawns not only look great, but they can also be used all winter long because they are firm even after heavy rains. Open, porous soils provide excellent drainage, allow good oxygen penetration and are, by far, the best base for newly seeded or turf lawns. A quality seed is also very important. Today, we are looking for easi-

have the option to go either way. Once a new lawn is seeded, germination will take between 10 to 14 days, and then it becomes a race between weed seeds and cultivated grass seeds. We all know that the weeds will win unless the grasses are helped along with fertilizers. A formulation of 7-21-7, or one that’s similar, is ideal because of the high phosphorous content for fast root development. The nitrogen should be controlled-released to prevent burning, and so that the nutrients are available when the grasses are rooted and ready to grow. Slowrelease nitrogen also keeps the nitrates in the turf. Once the lawn’s up and growing, mow it low and in a different direction each time to prevent it from laying down. If you have an established lawn that’s look-
ing a little ragged and tired after a long dry summer, overseeding is the answer - you’ll be delighted to see how quickly it bounces back. Perennial rye grasses are the best for overseeding because they germinate faster than other grass seeds, are compatible with all other lawn seeds and add fresh new life! A new blend, called ‘Natural Knit’, is the first stoloniferous grass that actually spreads out and challenges weeds. It’s a winner. Use approximately five to 10 pounds per 1000 square feet, and make sure you ruffle up your turf first to provide some good areas for the seed to catch hold. We do this each year in our gardens and has it ever made a difference. Make sure you water two to three times daily after seeding or overseeding until the grass is up and growing.

er maintenance, lasting green colour and resistance to many diseases. A blended seed mix is always best because if one grass is on a low ebb at a particular time of year, the other varieties will take over. As a rule of thumb, blue grasses love the summer, fescues Brian prefer MINTER the cooler times of the year and the many wonderful new perennial rye grasses add a great look all year round. The price of seed and the look of lawns vary, of course, with the types of seeds used. Five pounds (4.5kg) of seed generally cover 1000 square feet (100m2). It’s important to invest in quality seed for a long term great look. If you choose to lay turf, it’s wise to get good advice from knowledgeable folks. The preparation for seeding or laying turf is the same, so you

Perspectives
Giving kids the support they need to thrive in school Recently our community hosted the 20th anniversary of the Consultation on Chilliwack’s Children. Our series on members of our local Child and Youth Care Committee continues with an interview with Susan Edgecombe. Susan is the District Principal for Student Services with School District 33; a position responsible for overseeing many of the “helpers” embedded within the school system. This provides
Susan with a unique perspective of the needs and supports within our community. She was a part of the initiative to embed Child and Youth Care workers in the school to complement the other staff member’s work in supporting children and youth. As she makes the rounds of the district, Susan says, “Each time I visit a school I am inspired by the stories of how staff have come together to support vulnerable students
and families”. Susan began as a youth worker and counselor in the 1980’s in Fort St. John working with vulnerable young Marie people and AMOS students in an Alternate school. She was moved “by how kids were learning in spite of the daily chal-
lenges they encountered”, and since then has been working to support young people. Susan is currently a co-chair of the Child and Youth Care Committee and really enjoys the monthly updates from all the members. She says “we have a wealth of knowledge and hardworking people at our table” who represent a broad spectrum of agencies and individuals working to make our community a better place for young
people. The biggest challenges Susan sees in our community is the increase in young children with challenges that get in the way of being successful at school. While there are some terrific early intervention programs through the Child Development Centre, the Gateway initiative at Central Elementary and other community initiatives, there is always need for more . She’s also concerned for “our youth who

struggle with addictions” and would like to see the community come together to really around youth who struggle in this way.. However, Susan is encouraged by the advances of research in various fields like neuroscience, trauma, and attachment since this helps direct the training and resources that are delivered to be specific and effective in meeting needs. Susan remains committed to advocating and working hard to meet the needs of our young people. Each of the members of the Child and Youth committee have identified the power of our community partnerships and how much more can be accomplished when
we work together and how much this has grown in the last two decades. The cliché “it takes a village to raise a child” should be our communities motto. We are fortunate to live in a place where people are committed to working together toward the common goal of helping our young people. Everyone can contribute in a school, church, or Big Brothers/Big Sisters. In fact, Chilliwack Community Services has a monthly newsletter available through their website (www. comserv.bc.ca/) that lists current volunteer opportunities. Marie Amos, MA, RCC, is a Mental Health Therapist with Child and Youth Mental Health of MCFD, Chilliwack.

(closed Aug 19 & 26)
Busting your exercise excuses There are probably more excuses for not exercising than there are exercises to choose from. Today, I’m going to squash the most common reasons for letting your muscles turn to mush and your belly to jelly. Exercise is hard.
Exercise can be hard- but it doesn’t have to be. One of the most common Tanja mistakes of novice exercisSHAW ers is to do too much too soonand then get discouraged, or injured. Start with a manageable amount of activity, such as 10 minute on the treadmill or a 5 kilometer bike ride. As your fitness level increases, you can up the intensity or length of your workouts. A good rule of thumb when starting out is to make sure you can keep a conversation during if your workout. If you can only grunt, slow down. If you can sing, speed up. Exercise is boring.
Not everyone enjoys plugging away on the elliptical trainer, just like not everyone enjoys olives or action movies. If you find exercise boring, you need to find a type of exercise that suits your
taste. You can try hiking, cycling, playing a sport such as basketball or squash, swimming, lifting weights, walking outdoors, yoga, or dancing. If you are tired of your current gym program, hire a qualified trainer to give your routine a face-lift. Changing your exercise routine not only prevents boredom, but it also prevents a fitness plateau by constantly giving your body new challenges.
Fatigue can be caused by lack of exercise. A single bout of exercise, such as a brisk walk or group fitness class, will leave you feeling alert, motivated and energized. Regular exercise will boost your energy levels throughout the day. If you regularly feel exhausted after a long day at work, plan to get up early to do your workout. Save a de-stressing stroll around the block for your evening routine.
I don’t have any time.
I can’t afford a gym membership.
Unless you are booked solid from 6am to 10am at night (watching the tv doesn’t count), you can probably squeeze a few minutes in for exercise. Usually, finding time to exercise means making it a higher priority. Try rearranging your schedule to fit in 30 minutes of exercise time per day. You can go for a twenty minute walk after supper to unwind, or do a few strength exercises when you get home from work. Can’t miss Grey’s Anatomy? Set up your treadmill or stationary bike in front of the television, or do pushups, squats and sit ups during the commercial breaks. Have a family? You can power walk or run while your kids ride their bikes, or go to the pool together on the weekend. I don’t have enough energy to exercise.
Gyms are a great place to workout- but they are not the only place. Exercise videos, walking outdoors, and home exercise programs are great ways to keeping shape. If you are on a tight budget, a set of dumbbells and a stability ball can make a perfect home gym. Excuses are a great way to avoid exercise. If you want look great and feel fabulous however, take responsibility for yourself and find ways to eliminate your barriers to being active. Your body will thank you.

Community Local businessman scores at LPGA event Dean Meier, CEO of 1-Calling Cleaning Ser vices in Chilliwack, was visiting his family in Waterloo, Ontario in mid-July and decided to attend the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic. While overlooking the 18th green at the LPGA tournament – one of only two tour stops in Canada – Meier entered a Manulife Bank contest to win an Advantage Account pre-loaded with $5,000. Once he arrived home, he found out he had won. “I want to thank Manulife Bank for holding this contest,” said Meier. “It’s a great feel-
ing to win $5,000. I’m going to spend the money on home renovations and at a few local shops in Chilliwack.” Throughout the golf course during tournament week, Manulife Canada had several corporate activations and booths, including one from Manulife Bank. At the Manulife Bank kiosk, attendees could enter a draw to win an Advantage Account pre-loaded with $5,000. “Manulife Bank was pleased to be able to support the Manulife Financial LPGA Classic,” said Scott Bergen, director of mar-
keting and Communications for Manulife Bank. “Through our participation and this contest, our goal was to draw attention to the importance of effective debt management, and show Canadians how they could become debtfree sooner by organizing their finances more efficiently.” After three play-off holes, Hee Young Park was crowned champion at the second annual Manulife Financial LPGA Classic, held from July 10 – 14 at Grey Silo Golf Club in Waterloo, Ontario.

Thursday, August 29, 2013 The Chilliwack Progress
Origins of Labour Day rooted in a workers’ strike Though many Canadians now see Labour Day as little more than a summer holiday, its origins trace back to a significant time in Canadian history. By the second half of the 19th century, Canadian cities were experiencing an influx of immigrants that caused populations to grow considerably. This coincided with a changing workplace that was relying more and more on machines, putting workers in an unenviable position. Workers’ once-special skills were now being handled by machines, leaving the working class with little leverage and no recourse to protest low wages, long hours or poor working conditions. Workers who made such protestations were easily replaced, so many simply accepted what their employers had to offer, regardless of how poor that offer was. Such was the reality in Toronto in 1872, when the Toronto Printers Union began to lobby its employers for a shorter work week. When their demands were ignored, workers went on strike in late March. The strike proved a blow to Toronto’s publishing industry, which had to sit by and watch
as a group of 2,000 workers marched through the streets of Toronto in mid-April. As the protesters marched, they garnered more and more support, and eventually the crowd of marchers had expanded to 10,000, or 10 percent of the city’s population. Though the published industry might have been dealt a
significant blow, the response from industry leaders, including Toronto Globe founder George Brown, was less than pleasant. Legal action was taken against the leaders of the strike, and replacement workers from neighboring towns were brought in. But Prime Minister John A. Macdonald, a political adversary of Brown’s, supported the workers, eventually passing the Trade Union Act that decriminalized unions and led to the strike leaders’ release from jail. Despite support from the Prime Minister, many workers still lost their jobs, and the goal of a shorter work week was not immediately achieved. But the strike was a significant moment in Canadian history, showing workers they were not powerless. In addition, an annual parade was held in honor of the workers who went on strike, and this celebration soon spread to cities throughout Canada. By 1894, these parades were officially recognized when then-Prime Minister Sir John Thompson declared Labour Day a national holiday.

A few tips before heading south for Labour Day weekend U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Office of Field Operations (OFO), is reminding travelers planning trips across the border this holiday weekend into the United States to plan ahead and to anticipate heavy traffic during the celebration of the Labour Day holiday. CBP’s overall Resource Optimization Strategy intends to maximize existing resources, identify staffing needs, and explore funding
(NEXUS, SENTRI, Global Entry or FAST/ EXPRES) to expedite their entry and make future border crossings more efficient. To avoid delays border crossers may want to use the nearby and less heavily traveled port of entry at Sumas, open seven days per week, 24 hours per day on State Highway 9 or the Lynden port of entry open from 8 a.m. until midnight on State Highway 539. Ready Lanes are open
sources to support identified staffing needs but CBP also encourages travelers to be prepared and educate themselves on U.S. rules and regulations. CBP strongly encourages travelers to plan ahead and obtain a radio frequency identification (RFID)-enabled travel document such as an Enhanced Driver’s License/Enhanced Identification Card, US passport card or Trusted Traveler Program card

When you buy a fixer-upper home...
Most buyers want a home that is in tip-top condition and ready for them to occupy, but many homes go for a lower price because they need work. Some buyers love ‘fixer-uppers’ for the obvious reasons: the price, and the satisfaction of transforming a home into an attractive property. Whether you are buying the property for yourself or as an investment, choose a house that is in a good location and structurally sound. It should be priced enough below market value to allow plenty of room for a profitable resale after the work is completed. It is important to educate yourself before taking on such a project. For example, inexpensive cosmetic improvements often give the greatest return - paint will increase the value three times for every dollar invested. Landscaping, carpeting, and light fixtures are also relatively inexpensive but add value. Expensive structural improvements, such as a new roof, plumbing, wiring, or foundation repairs, usually add very little to the market value of a home. Remodeling a kitchen will usually add much more than the cost, but an extra bathroom is the best renovation from an investment point of view, often giving twice its cost in added value. So when a seller is offering a home in ‘as is’ condition and is not willing to make any repairs before the closing, there is an opportunity to save money as well as create an attractive environment that suits your individual needs. Such sales can create terrific opportunities if you have

all of the information that you need to make an informed decision about the purchase. How much is ‘a little’ work? A structural inspector can help you determine exactly what you are getting into. Make sure you and the sellers have a clear understanding about the ‘as is’ agreement, including who pays to correct any significant problems that may occur between the acceptance of the contract and the closing. Sometimes the home may be an old timer in need of updating. Some listings are being sold to settle estates or by someone who didn’t have time to complete the necessary cosmetic repairs. It may require a lot of work, but renovating an older home can provide an opportunity to acquire a wonderful home that you couldn’t otherwise afford. Homes that need work are often good value. When a Realtor® shows you a house that needs help, try to imagine how it would look with new carpet, a fresh coat of paint and your furniture settled inside. Because the condition and overall appeal of a house have such an impact on the selling price, ‘fixer-uppers’ are often priced less than comparable homes. If the home is structurally sound and has updated systems, a small investment of ‘elbow grease’ and paint can give you a satisfying and creative experience.

Cultus Lake is where I played and when we moved I never forgot Cultus Lake or Chilliwack, I could always see the mountains in my mind’s eye. My job brought me back to BC and in 1976 I decided to make Chilliwack my home. I obtained my real estate license the spring of 1980. I’ve lived a full life both personally and professionally and that life has given me a clear understanding of how things work. Life is about the people you meet and the stories created.

Chiefs game a hit in Hope Barry Stewart, Black Press About 200 fans were on hand, Tuesday evening at the Hope Arena, for a pre-season match between the Chilliwack Chiefs and Coquitlam Express. The event got started in the parking lot, with live music by Darlene and Art Boucher starting two hours before the 7 o’clock puckdrop. Hope Search and Rescue, Hope Mountain Centre for Outdoor Learning and the rec centre had information displays set up and some kids got a street hockey game going, with nets and equipment supplied by the rec centre. Before the start of the game, there was a memorial moment of silence for long-time Chiefs season-ticket holder and Hope Minor Hockey suppor ter Caesar Soares, who passed away this summer. Lloyd Forman then dropped the ceremonial puck and Darlene Boucher led the crowd in the singing of O Canada. The spirited game was tied 2-2 at the end of the first frame, then the Express snapped in three goals in the

Chilliwack Chiefs hopeful Blake Gober (No. 10 in red) eyes the bouncing puck while linemate Austin Plevy lurks around the Coquitlam net. The Express handed the Chiefs a 5-3 loss Tuesday night in front of an enthusiastic crowd at the Hope Recreation Centre. BARRY STEWART/ BLACK PRESS

Jordan Kawaguchi, grandson of Hope residents Mas and Judy Kawaguchi. The 16 year old forward had a good chance to score on a partial breakaway late in the second period — but Express goalie Pierce Dushenko made a quick poke-check to
negate the opportunity. Kawaguchi’s dad, Todd, played goalie for Hope Minor Hockey and the family now resides in Abbotsford, though Jordan is billeting in Chilliwack and attending Sardis Secondary. Jordan was drafted
by the WHL Spokane Chiefs but signed with Chilliwack this spring. He is eligible for NCAA college scholarships as long as he stays in the BCJHL (junior A) program. The Chiefs host Surrey tonight at Prospera Centre.
Ex-Bruin Boutilier dies in weekend accident Lachlan Labere, Black Press Twenty-five year old Kevin Boutilier, a Calgary native and former Chilliwack Bruin, is believed to have drowned Saturday after diving into rough water to retrieve a hat. Boutilier is currently classified as a missing person and presumed drowned. On Aug. 24, at approximately 4:15 p.m., police received a report of a possible drowning on Shuswap Lake in Cinnemousun Narrows. Police and marine rescue boats attended with BC Ambulance paramedics onboard. At the scene, officers learned that a group of people were on a rent-

Boutilier played for the Chilliwack Bruins from 200608, logging 66 games as a gritty blueliner for the expansion Western Hockey League squad. Former teammates have posted on his Facebook page. “Thoughts and prayers for family and friends,” wrote former Bruin captain Nick Holden. “Rest in peace Boots.” “Boots brother, I remember the first time we met and I liked you right away,” added Matt Cline. “So sad to hear this.” In lieu of flowers, the Boutilier family asks that donations be made in Kevin’s name to KidsSport Calgary to honour his love of sports.
Sardis native Jennifer Douglas won three gold medals at the 2013 BC Senior Games, held Aug. 20-24 in Kamloops. Competing in the women’s 55-59 division, Douglas finished first in the novice time trial, clocking in at 00:27:02.68. Douglas took top spot in the novice road race with a time of 1:23.33 and earned her third gold in the novice hill climb, posting a time of 10:36.31.
It’s hard to believe but the start of another regular season of Chiefs hockey is just around the corner. We’ll be seeing a lot of new players in Chiefs uniforms. Of the 21 players that were w ere on the Chiefs roster as last season ended, only eight are return. High turnover rates are the norm in junior A hockey but replacing 13 players is higher than usual. Gone are the likes of Luke Esposito, Mitch Gillam and Philip Zielonka, all elite players at this level. If you’ve been out to watch training camp or some of the exhibition action yyou’ve ou’ve seen some of the new players that have been brought in to replace them. New for wards include Jake Hand, Blake Gober, Jordan Kawaguchi and Zach Diamontoni — all of whom are very skilled. How quickly they can adapt to playing at this level is the question, but I don’t think it will take them long. The T he same can be said for incoming rookie defensemen Carter Cochrane and Michael Willms. The Chiefs will once again start the season with two local players on the team. Goaltender Josh Halpenny is back for his second season while w hile graduated forward w ard Josh Hansen is replaced by 17-yearold rookie forward Kyle Westeringh. For the second consecutive year the regular season will kick
off with the Bauerr BCHL Showcase at Prospera Centre beginning Fridayy Sept. 6. All 16 BCHL teams will be here playing a total of 16 games over three days. The Chiefs will face Powell River and Vernon. Bauer is the presenting sponsor and will be running The Bauer Experience on the main ice sheett Saturday morning from 9 to 11 a.m. This is a great event which allows people to tryy all the latest Bauerr skates, gloves, sticks and helmets. There will be a ton of prize giveaways including Bauer gearr and Canucks tickets. I can’t do the eventt justice here but if you Google ‘The Bauerr Experience’ you’ll find a lot more information and some videos which will give you a good idea off what to expect. Itt looks like a must forr any kid who plays hockey. A few months ago the Chiefs launched their official App forr all smart phones. Most of the kinks have been worked out and we are adding some really cool features in the nearr future. If you’ve alreadyy downloaded it, I’d love to hear yourr feedback and if you haven’t please do as I think you’ll like it. Keep an eye of the Chiefs website nextt week for information on the various flex packs that will be available. Season tickets don’t work for everyone. These packs will offer fans a few nice alternatives including a way to donate money to a local amateur sports organization of their choice. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Chilliwack twins Colton and Merick Sampson made their long-awaited trip to the Dominican Republic in early August, joining a team of American-born players at the Latin American Baseball Classic. The 11-yearolds arrived in the Dominican at midnight on Aug. 4, and spent the next day relaxing and adjusting to their new surroundings. The tournament was held in Santo Domingo, at complexes run by Major League Baseball’s New York Yankees, Baltimore Orioles, Chicago White Sox, Minnesota Twins and Arizona Diamondbacks. On Aug. 6 Colton and Merick joined 240 players and parents from Team USA at the opening banquet. The twins had the opportunity to meet Juan Guzman, a pitcher for the Toronto Blue Jays during their World Series years. After a practise day Aug. 7, the Chilliwack Minor Baseball products launched into game action with a 5-4 win over the host Dominicans. And, after a rain delay, they pummeled Panama 7-3.
The next day they beat Venezuela 5-2, and were leading Virgin Islands before a thunder storm forced them inside. After topping St. Croix 9-4, the team finally stumbled, losing 5-4 in a semi-final against a tough Cuban squad. Merick played catcher in every game while Colton served as the team’s utility guy and leadoff hitter. He played third base, shortstop and the outfield, even pitching in a couple games. “The best part of the trip was watching the twins interact with the local kids,� said their dad, Jeff Sampson. “There were times when we couldn’t find Merick. When we did, he was off playing stick ball.� The twins took some baseball equipment with them. “Merick gave his cleats away the first day to a little boy that had no shoes,� said his mom, Lara. “He fessed up on the bus, and we think he thought he was going to get in trouble. We thought it was sweet.� “Some teams only had four batting helmets or shared gloves,� Jeff Sampson added. “We are looking at going

Huskers hoping for Rebel rebound

Transit Info 604¡795¡3 t www.bctransit.com
The Valley Huskers have had two weeks to reflect on their first ‘official’ loss of the season, and now head coach Tyson St. James believes it’s time to move on. Time to forget a 56-3 thumping in Nanaimo Aug. 17 and look forward to a Saturday afternoon clash with
Victoria at Townsend Park (2 p.m. kickoff). The Huskers (2-11) face a promising bounceback opponent in the Westshore Rebels, a team still in search of its first win. The visitors come in with an 0-4 record, giving up a league-high 199 points (49.75 per game) while scoring a league-low 66 (16.5 per game). But Victoria’s record may be coloured by the opposition they’ve faced. The Rebels have lost twice to the defending Cullen Cup champion Langley Rams, by scores of 69-10 and
58-20. They stuck with a very good Okanagan Sun squad in week three, falling 37-26. And their showing against the Vancouver Island Raiders, in a 35-10 loss, was significantly better than Chilliwack’s. This Rebels team may be a lot better than they appear. The to-do list during the bye week was a lengthy one for the Huskers. The defence was gashed to the tune of 596 net yards by the Raiders, with 338 of those yards coming on the ground. The offence generated 208 net yards, just 59 of them through the air. Quarterback Cody Parray completed five of 20 passes with zero TDs and two interceptions. Their only points came off a 27-yard Dan Erickson field goal. Get BCFC info online at bcjuniorfootball.ca. Get Huskers info at valleyhuskers.org.

Cascades split with visiting Vikings Monday night. They have one preseason game left before the regular season starts, and head coach Alan Errington believes they’re ready. “We played a tremendous match considering how tired we were from the four day trip to Oregon and Washington,” he said. “The Vikings are a good side and gave our team a good test as we get ready for next week’s conference opener against TWU.” ● The UFV women had less success in their game against the WWU Vikings, falling 2-0 at Townsend Park. The game was scoreless until late, when WWU’s Jessica Bertucci and Alyssa Beauchamp scored 15 minutes apart to give the Vikings the win. Burnaby native Kayla Klim went the distance in net for the Cascades, making several stellar stops. Veteran striker Carly Neeson (Maple Ridge) was a bright spot for UFV. Third year defender Jade Palm (Powell River) was UFV’s player of the match. “Jade Palm and Carley Radomski were strong in midfield and Carly Neeson had her

best game of our preseason,” said Cascades coach Rob Giesbrecht. “We struggled at matching their physical play and never really got going. There were encouraging signs as well as signs that told me we still have quite a bit to work on.” The UFV women host UBC-Okanagan Friday night (7 p.m.) in exhibition action.
UFV hoopsters host Highlanders The University of the Fraser Valley men’s basketball team host s the NCAA’s University of California-Riverside Highlanders in exhibition action Sept. 9.

The University of the Fraser Valley men’s soccer squad downed the Western Washington Vikings in a preseason friendly Tuesday night. The game was played at Townsend Park. The score was 1-0. The Cascades had a lot of energy, considering it was their fourth game in four days. The game’s only goal came 33 minutes in when UFV was awarded a direct free kick for a late hit. Kamloops native Ryan Liddiard stepped into it, hitting the top right corner with his rocket shot. WWU goalkeeper Nico Terentjev had no chance. UFV keeper Mark Village stayed busy at the other end as the Vikings sought the equalizer. The Abbotsford native turned several shots aside to earn the clean sheet and player of the match honours. The Cascades improved their preseason record to 4-20, capping off a busy week. UFV earned road wins over the Evergreen State College Mariners and Willamette University Bearcats last weekend, and lost 2-0 to the Concordia University Cavaliers
