School board candidate facing child sex charges

The Progress A prominent figure in the Chilliwack district parents’ advisory council and former school trustee candidate is facing several sex-related charges. Corey Neyrinck, 27, was in court Tuesday on allegations of six sex-related offenses, including sexual assault, sexual interference of a person under 16, making or publishing child pornography, and possession of child pornography. He also faced three charges for breaching bail conditions. He is being kept in custody. Neyrinck is well known in the Chilliwack school community. Since 2008, he has been actively involved with McCammon traditional school’s parents’ advisory council, serving the last two years as chair. He also held the position of vice-chair with the Chilliwack District Parents’ Advisory Council for more than a year. Neyrinck also ran in last November’s school trustee byelection, and garnered the second least amount of votes among the six candidates. He was cited last week by the City of Chilliwack for failing to file his election expense disclosure statement; a penalty of $500. According to Chilliwack school district, Neyrinck resigned from both PAC positions earlier this year, and does not currently have access to Chilliwack schools. “He is no longer associated with the Chilliwack school district in any way,” superintendent Evelyn Novak told The Progress. “We take our role of protecting student welfare very seriously and we act quickly on any information that comes to our attention.” Neyrinck is scheduled to next appear in court on April 29.

Downtown merchants were buzzing this week following news the biggest movie production in the city’s history will start filming here in May. Chilliwack BIA executive director Kyle Williams confirmed yesterday that there will be a major motion picture filmed in the downtown area next month. The Chilliwack BIA and the City of Chilliwack were scheduled to sit down with the assistant location manager, Michael LeGresley, this morning. He said every effort will be made to avoid disruption in the downtown. Nonetheless, the production will be felt. “We are going to be there in a big way,” he said Thursday. “This is probably the largest project that has ever come across Chilliwack.” Plans are in place for crews to film during two separate weeks in May, for a total of eight days of shooting. The geographic area they’re looking at is huge — approximately 16 square blocks surrounding Five Corners. “This is a very substantial closure, and we will make our best efforts to make sure that everyone is accommodated, from customers to merchants to residents,” said LeGresley. Crews will have a balloon effect on the area. At the beginning of the weeks they’ll be using the largest section of the downtown area needed and gradually get smaller. There will be fewer road closures come Friday and Saturday, which is when stores and restaurants are most busy. “We want to maintain business to all of the merchants. We don’t want the merchants to close down, and we are doing our best to keep them open,” said LeGresley. Details about the production are still being kept tight. Officials will only say it’s a major production that will be filmed in Chilliwack and at locations Continued: MOVIE/ p14

Metro incinerator foe likes cement plant option FVRD says Lehigh plan to burn garbage just swaps ‘dirty fuels’ Jeff Nagel Black Press One of the staunchest opponents of garbage incineration on the Metro Vancouver board says there’s one idea for a new waste-toenergy plant in the region that he can likely support. Richmond Coun. Harold Steves says the proposal by Lehigh Hanson Materials to use its Delta cement kiln as a waste incinerator looks like by far the best choice so far.

Lehigh proposes incinerating dried and processed garbage as fuel, replacing its normal use of coal. “There would be no net effect on the atmosphere,” Steves said. Most other proposals before Metro involve building an all-new conventional incinerator, which Steves said would significantly boost greenhouse gas emissions in the region because of the additional carbon released from burning waste plastic. He said he’d only support the Lehigh proposal if coal use is displaced and opposes any other option involving a new incinerator. Steves previously opposed Metro’s solid waste management

plan, which calls for construction of a new waste-to-energy plant to burn garbage that can’t be recycled and end the trucking of trash to the Cache Creek regional landfill. Metro is now weighing various potential sites, including Lehigh’s Delta plant, with community consultations expected to start later this spring. Lehigh, owned by Germany’s Heidelberg Cement Group, projects its greenhouse gas emissions will significantly decline if garbage replaces coal as its main fuel, which it says is a best practice at several of its plants in Europe. The cement plant can also burn natural gas, when it’s cheap

enough, and already burns some alternative fuels, including car tires and demolition waste. Lehigh says there would be no residue to be landfilled – all ash becomes part of the cement product – while any conventional garbage incinerator would still have to send large volumes of ash to a dump. If Lehigh’s cement plant is chosen and delivers what it claims in terms of emissions, Steves said Metro could also approach Lafarge about adapting its Richmond cement plant as well if more garbage must be burned. He said a cement kiln retrofit will be much cheaper than an all-new incinerator – estimated at

$500 million – and it should also be easier to scale back the burning of garbage in favour of other fuels over time. “Once we’re recycling 100 per cent of the plastic, they can go back to burning coal,” Steves said. He said that would address a major concern of opponents – that building a new incinerator locks the region into having to feed it indefinitely, deterring further advances in recycling. “It’s a lot better than adding an additional incinerator to the one that we have already.” Abbotsford Coun. Patricia Ross said the FVRD has major concerns with Lehigh’s plan.

Students hope cell phone booth will connect Katie Bartel The Progress They don’t know a world without cell phones, but they’ve heard stories. Drew Hendsbee and Danica Truong have been told of actual face-to-face interactions, meals not plagued by the incessant beeps, pings and rings of cell phones, but rather real conversation. They want that. The Grade 11 Chilliwack secondary students have developed a prototype of a miniature, vintage-style phone booth they believe will bring back interconnectedness. The phone booth was created for their Grade 11 entrepreneurship class using 3D technology, borrowed from a school in Abbotsford. It features multiple vertical slots for cell phones to be stored. The purpose: to get people to put their phones away even if only for a meal. “We’re on our phones all the time… talking, texting, taking pictures,” said Hendsbee. “There’s no real face-to-face engagement anymore. We’re not getting to know people, we’re not taking the time to know them.” With the phone booth, phones go into the booth and real conversation begins. The idea developed after the students were asked in their entrepreneurship class to come up with a product they could sell. Hendsbee and Truong weren’t satisfied putting in the bare minimum. They wanted to develop something that could have a real impact. “I know technology is so important, crucial, but there is nothing more important than [face-to-face] conversation,” said Hendsbee. “We’re really just trying to bring people together – make people more important than their phones.” The design started out as a flat box with a lid, but that proved too bulky. It wasn’t until Hendsbee

eyed the decorative metal phone booth in her house that the light went off. Not only was the design a perfect fit for what they were looking to do, the fact it was an old-fashioned phone booth tied in as well. “Phone booths are so old fashioned and socializing is too,” said Truong. The prototype is fashioned after a classic London-style phone booth. On the outside, instead of telephone printed at the top, it has cell phones. There’s also a picture on the side that looks as though it was taken straight from a 1950s ad with the slogan: Company is swell! Put in

your cell!” “Everything about it is old-fashioned,” said Hendsbee. “We really tried to capture that.” To produce the phone booth, it took 30 hours in the 3D printer. The young partners are networking ways of mass-producing the product. While pricing is still being worked out, the teens hope to attract restaurants with a vision that the phone booth would sit on the table for cell phones to be stored. “We want to sell to restaurants and franchises that are already selling togetherness and embracing the aspect of being with people,”

said Hendsbee. Teacher Matt Ferris said the phone booth was by far the most creative project he’s seen in the years he’s been teaching the class. “One of the major concerns we have in the community right now is disconnectedness and an overuse of cell phones,” he said. “They saw a problem and they came up with a fantastic solution. “I think they can take this as far as they’d like it to go.” For more information on the phone booths, email companyisswell@gmail.com. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Fed support for Cultural Centre The Chilliwack Cultural Centre Society has secured $20,000 in funding over the next two years to help it continue bringing top calibre talent to the community. The money, announced by Chiliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl Thursday, is part of the Canada Arts Presentation Fund. The funding will support the Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s 2014 and 2015 performing arts series. From September 2014 to April 2015, the Centre will present 30 diverse performances. It will receive $10,000 in 2014–2015 and $10,000 in 2015–2016. “The Chilliwack Arts and Cultural Centre Society is thrilled to receive this clear show of support for the work we are doing in audience development,” said Michael Cade, artistic and managing director of the Chilliwack Arts and Cultural Centre Society. “The funding through the Canada Arts Presentation Fund helps us provide access to the best available professional performing arts experiences for our community.” Shelly Glover, minister of Canadian Heritage, said the money will help foster the professional growth and development of Canadian artists. It will also help bring that talent to Chilliwack audiences, said Strahl. “Now entering its fourth year of programming, the Chilliwack Cultural Centre has proven to be a go-to arts hub for residents in the Fraser Valley. I am looking forward to seeing what’s in store for the upcoming presentation series.”

In the mid-1700s, Benjamin Franklin famously used kites to advance science, proving that lightning was indeed an electrical force. Now, kites are being used to prove that power doesn’t have to pulled from the ground, and they don’t have to rely on unstable wind. Instead, power is being harnessed from the motion of fast running water. A Vancouverbased clean technology startup company is developing a sustainable, consistent device that works just under the water surface, spinning and creating enough power to run 30 homes. And they’re testing it in the Fraser River, near Laidlaw. The HydroKite is a hydrokinetic device that resembles an airplane on its side. Created by HydroRun Technologies over the last two years, it’s making waves in the clean energy field. It was recently featured in an article in the Vancouver Sun and was popular at the Globe 2014 trade show in March. “We need to find better ways to produce power,” said Joel Atwater, founder of HydroRun. “It has to be green going forward, for the environment but also economically.” There are three classifications of hydrokinetic power, he said. The first is large hydro, which is what most of the province is

The HydroKite resembles a small plane turned on its side, and could be the green answer to getting off the grid.

powered by through BC Hydro and other large providers. Large hydro is created by flooding valleys to create a reservoir. Then there are run of river projects, such as those in the waterways at the north end of Harrison Lake, near Port Douglas. While generally promoted as greener alternatives to hydro dam projects, they change the watercourse as water flows through a power house. Finally, there are hyperkinetic projects. These, like the HydroKite, sit in the water to produce power. Up until this point, Atwater said, debris in the river has made things difficult and there have been no commercial

use. But that’s changing, and quickly. Over the next few months, Atwater and his team will be testing the HydroKite. They chose this end of the Fraser River after searching for suitable launch and test sites. “Ultimately it will be left by itself,” Atwater said. “What’s unique about this is not a turbine that sits in the river and acts as an obstruction.” The HydroKite is outfitted with radar, sonar and something called machine vision, which is as way for computers to interpret what a camera is seeing. This is all designed to avoid debris. Continued: GREEN/ p17

News Province keeps weapon against BCTF in reserve Benefits charge against union would be ‘retaliatory’ Jeff Nagel Black Press The provincial government is so far holding off on a threat to try to force the B.C.Teachers’ Federation to pay $5 million a month to cover the cost of its members’ benefits in response to their limited job action. That possible financial weapon was broached earlier in the month by negotiators with the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association and Education Minister Peter Fassbender said it remains an option, particularly if the union escalates its tactics. “The BCTF has said they’re taking this action to put pressure on us,” Fassbender said Thursday in an interview. “We may need to add some commensurate pressure to the BCTF if we find we’re not getting any solid options from them.” The union has demanded pay hikes estimated at 13.5 per cent over three years, while the government has offered 6.5 per cent over the first six years of an intended 10-year deal. Fassbender said the BCTF has made some movement in negotiations, but not a significant amount. He expressed disappoint-

ment that despite continued talks the union opted Wednesday to begin its firststage strike action – restricting administrative duties and supervision of students outside of class time – a move that has prompted several rural districts to cancel recess. The BCPSEA had notified the union any strike action could trigger a call for it to cover health and welfare benefits for B.C.’s 40,000 teachers, estimated at $5 million a month. “I don’t want to inflict pain on anybody,” Fassbender said. “But there are tools available to government as there are to the union. “I don’t think we want to put out any threats but by the same token we need to ensure that we have stability in the classrooms. That’s our goal.” BCTF president Jim Iker said he doubts the Labour Relations Board would approve a request ordering the union to pay benefits, noting a similar effort to make the union pay 15 per cent of wages was denied in the last teachers’ strike. “We would see that as retaliatory and punitive for them to even think about or threaten that the union pay the cost of the benefits when teachers are in the classroom working as hard as they normally do with students,” Iker said. Iker said it is the government that has not moved much off

its position, including a refusal to bargain smaller class sizes and more access to specialist teachers. “Our hope is we can get this deal done by the end of June and not be going into September still at the bargaining table.” Overshadowing the labour dispute is last year’s B.C. Supreme Court ruling that the province must restore class size and composition to what existed in 2001. The province has appealed the decision, saying it would impose enormous costs and disrupt programs. Waiting until the fall for an appeal court ruling would be unfortunate, said Dan Laitsch, an associate education professor at SFU. “It really is kind of an allor-nothing case,” Laitsch said. “They’re playing a fairly high stakes poker game because either side could lose big depending on the outcome of the appeal.” Ideally, he said, the two sides would recognize it’s too risky to wait and instead craft a settlement that doesn’t subject schools to a months-long strike action. Laitsch said budget shortfalls now surfacing at many districts mean the province will be under pressure to find more money for the school system regardless of the outcome of the teachers’ dispute.

1.4 million flu shots sets a new record in the province Tom Fletcher

Perry Kendall. Health care workers and visitors were required to get the vaccine or wear masks in patient care areas, to protect patients with underlying conditions that make influenza more serious. After the health care worker immunization rate had drifted as low as 50 per cent, the new policy prompted 80 per cent of health care employees to be vaccinated and the remainder used masks, Kendall said Wednesday. One health care aide in Grand Forks was fired after repeatedly refusing to wear a mask when working around patients. Health Minister Terry Lake said the total was increased by extending free flu shots to

Black Press It wasn’t as many as in the global H1N1 pandemic of 2009, but this year’s influenza vaccine program delivered a record 1.4 million seasonal doses to B.C. residents. Resurgence of the H1N1 strain that triggered hospitalizations and deaths among younger patients motivated a late-season surge in demand for flu shots after Christmas, resulting in temporary shortages of vaccine in some areas. Changes in policy also contributed to better protection against seasonal flu, said Provincial Health Officer Dr.

anyone who was considering visiting a relative in a health care facility during the winter. Previously seniors, children aged six months to five years, seniors over 65, residents of care and assisted living facilities, those with chronic conditions and health care and emergency workers were eligible for a free vaccine. Lake said the ministry is considering offering the vaccine free to everyone in future years. Kendall said the impact of H1N1 on younger people has been analyzed. “The group over the age of 65 had the highest levels of residual immunity, perhaps from previous infection or previous vac-

cination, and the group who had the least immunity was 25- to 60-year-olds,” Kendall said. “So that was why we saw the shift of hospitalizations in a younger than expected age group.” The World Health Organization tracks influenza strains around the world and estimates the strains for the coming year. The vaccine being produced for next winter includes H1N1 and common seasonal flus H3N2 and influenza B. Kendall said research is proceeding for a universal vaccine, to eliminate the guesswork in crafting the annual strain. That could be available in five years.

Take up the team challenge at this year’s Run For Mom It’s almost time to lace up the running shoes for Chilliwack’s annual Run For Mom. But before the warm ups start and the final stretching begins, organizers are wondering if participants would like to, “make things a little more interesting.” They’ve launched a team challenge and they’re inviting local businesses, friends and families to toss down the gauntlet and see who can raise the most for Chilliwack General Hospital’s maternity unit. The prize? Immortality on the Run For Mom team trophy, the satisfaction of helping CGH help women and children, and, of course, bragging rights. Now in its 16th year, the Run For Mom has raised more than a quarter million dollars – money that’s been used to purchase equipment for the maternity unit at Chilliwack General Hospital. It’s serious stuff – equipment that makes a real difference in the care and comfort of newborn infants and their moms. But that doesn’t mean participants can’t have a little fun helping out. Each year the Mother’s Day event draws hundreds of people. Some compete in the chip-timed 8k road race, others opt for the 5k walk/run. There’s entertainment, food, and flowers for all the moms who take part. The route takes participants westbound on Keith Wilson Road, before returning along the Vedder Trail to the starting point at UFV’s Trades and Technology building. Water stations are along the way, and a small army of volunteers help to keep things safe. It’s a family event, organized by volunteers with the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation. Over the past 16 years, local school groups have played a big part in the run. So far this year, five schools have registered, with students vying for the top school team trophy. Bernard elemen-

to win two WestJet tickets to anywhere the airline flies. Raise less than that and there’s still a chance to win a series of prize packages. But the best prize is knowing you’ve helped women and kids at Chilliwack Hospital, says Jessica Bolt of the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation. This year the foundation is raising money for a pain relief system that expectant mothers can use themselves. The goal is to purchase three “Enotonox Systems” which allow the safe and timely adminstration of a nitrous oxide and oxygen mixture. Each unit costs about $6,000. This year’s run is Sunday, May 11 at 9:30 a.m. The start is at UFV’s Trades and Technology Centre, 5579 Tyson Road (Tyson and Keith Wilson). To register, phone 604.701.4051, email jessica@fvhcf.org, or register online at run4mom. kintera.org.

Participants register for last year’s Run For Mom. This year’s event is May 11 and organizers are hoping for a little good-natured inter-team rivalry. BLACK PRESS FILE

tary, Unsworth, Cultus Lake, Greendale and GW Graham middlesecondary are all taking part. The number of teams is also growing. So far there will be at least eight teams at the starting gate: the Ascend Fitness Rock Stars, Damsels in Delight, the Stream Dream Team, the Relybles, Soroptimists, Envision, Chilliwack Society for Community Living, and the CGH Mat Pack.

Run organizers are hoping more will take up the challenge. To participate, simply get a group of co-workers, friends and family together, pick a “familyfriendly” team name, register, and start collecting pledges. Trash talkin’ your rivals is optional. Even if you don’t have a team, there’s still a chance at personal glory – and swag. Raise more than $750 and you’ll have a chance

The FVRD disputes Lehigh’s estimates on greenhouse gases, arguing they will go up not down if garbage becomes the main fuel. It also argues burning garbage will put residents at greater risk from the release of toxins during less-optimum burning conditions compared to the use of coal. “Coal is a relatively homogenous fuel, whereas each load of garbage creates an unpredictable and constantly changing chemical soup,” according to an FVRD analysis. It says ultra-fine particle emissions pose significant health risks but aren’t measured by cement plants. “All you’re doing is replacing one dirty fuel with another dirty fuel,” Ross said, adding it would be better if cement plants were compelled to use natural gas instead. “Why were they allowed to burn dirty fuels like coal and in some cases tires in the first place?” She said the cement plant would need wood, paper and plastic – highly recyclable materials – and allowing them to be burnt would contradict recycling efforts. Delta Mayor Lois Jackson said she’s heard little local reaction to the Lehigh proposal. Although Lehigh is zoned industrial, she said Delta requires specific rezoning and a public hearing if it’s chosen. Metro aims to develop new capacity to burn up to 370,000 tonnes more garbage each year, in addition to the 280,000 tonnes that now goes to the existing Burnaby incinerator.

A nuanced approach

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

Some Albertans just can’t understand it, but many B.C. residents do not want to roll over and do everything the oil and gas industry pushes for. And much of this resistance is not from those described as far-out environmentalists, but comes from business people and ordinary citizens who live here and don’t want to take unnecessary risks with the environment. The latest proof of this comes with Eagle Spirit Energy, which is proposing a pipeline alternative to Northern Gateway. It already has significant buy-in from First Nations groups in northern B.C., and if enough financial resources are made available, it just might work. Interestingly enough, Eagle Spirit is working with the Aquilini Group, owner of the Vancouver Canucks. The Aquilini family are based in B.C., have operated businesses here for years, and understand the province quite well. The same can be said for David Black, whose company owns this newspaper. He is heading a plan to build a refinery at Kitimat to ship refined oil products across the ocean — not bitumen. Eagle Spirit also opposes shipping of bitumen from B.C. ports, feeling the environmental risks are simply too high. Meanwhile, residents of Kitimat, a town which would benefit economically from Northern Gateway’s proposed terminus, voted 58 per cent last Saturday in a non-binding referendum against Northern Gateway’s plans. Most British Columbians are not anti-oil. They do want oil and gas companies to respect First Nations whose territories are affected by pipeline routes, and they value the environment. They want jobs and growth, but not at any price. That nuanced stance is rarely understood in Calgary. ~ Black Press

L OCALLY G LOBAL

A silver lining in the humpback whale of a tale Was the Earth Day announcement in Ottawa about big whale or big oil? Last Tuesday, the federal Minister of Environment, on the advice of the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, announced the decision to change the conservation status of the humpback whale from “threatened” under the Species at Risk Act (SARA) to a “species of special concern.” Predictably, there was an eco-clamour. Downgrading the whale’s status came at a politically inflammable time when the feds are positioning themselves to approve (or deny?) the Northern Gateway Pipeline. There’s no special prize figuring out which way that will go. Needless to say, many connected some strategic dots. But re-classifying the humpback whale as a species to be managed with special concern may be the right move and cause

for celebration. The fact is that the humpback has been making a come-back for quite a while. The updated 2008 IUCN Red List, the globally recognized benchmark for the conser vation status of the world’s threatened wildlife, stated that some large whale species, including the humpback, are recovering in Margaret numbers. EVANS T h e International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) moved the humpback whale from “vulnerable” to “least concern” six years ago, putting it at low risk for the threat of extinction. Two subpopulations, one in the Arabian Sea and the other in the Southern Hemisphere, remain classified as “endan-

gered.” According to the IUCN, the global population of humpbacks is approximately 80,000. That is broken down to 18,000-20,000 in the North Pacific, 50,000 in the Southern Hemisphere, and some 12,000 in the North Atlantic. Before hunting was banned, there were barely 1,500 humpbacks in the North Pacific. Today’s numbers are a clear indicator of how successful conservation measures can be when they are rigidly kept. “Humpbacks and southern right whales are making a comeback in much of their range mainly because they have been protected from commercial hunting,” said Randall Reeves, Chair of the Cetacean Specialist Group of the IUCN Species Sur vival Commission who led the IUCN Red List assessment. “This is a great conser vation success and clearly shows what needs to

be done to ensure these ocean giants survive.” What doesn’t need to be done is jump too quickly. The conservation strategy of protecting the whales from commercial hunting has yielded spectacular results. But monitoring those special concerns will mean monitoring 21st centur y threats surfacing on a variety of fronts. Marine researchers and biologists with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans as well as Environment Canada shouldn’t let their guard down. There is the potential for collisions with ships, toxic oil spills, fishing gear entanglement. and noise pollution (military sonar, seismic surveys and shipping). In addition, climate change is playing its hand as ocean temperatures rise affecting species’ distribution, inter-species competition, loss of food such as the krill that baleen whales like the humpback

depend on, deteriorating habitat, and exposure to new diseases. There is of course the looming issue of a spike in oil tanker activity out of Kitimat in a region where whales feed and rear their young in spring and summer. No one missed the cue that downgrading the status of the humpback whale would remove a major legal hurdle the Harper government has been facing before signing off on the Northern Gateway Pipeline this June. As a threatened species, the humpback’s critical habitat would have needed to be designated. With its status now downgraded, that designation has been removed. With diligent research, a lot of things have gone right for the humpback whale. Really, we should be celebrating that it is no longer endangered. It is a treasured icon species whose song will draw millions of tourists to our shores for years to come.

‘Greatest environmental threat of our lifetime’ This is the second of two columns addressing what I see as the greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime. The Alberta oil industr y’s Northern Gateway plan is to export bitumen to Asia via tankers from the B.C. coast. Under no circumstances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coastline, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years. My first column discussed the light oil spill by the Exxon Valdez and the terrible toll it took on the Alaskan habitat and fishery. It also gave proof that a bitumen spill would be far worse. A bitumen spill would be almost completely unrecoverable because it would sink and stay on the bottom of our seabed. The solution that is best for Canada is to build a refinery in Kitimat. I am promoting and backing this solution. It will convert the bitumen to very light fuels that would float and evaporate if ever spilled. There are other enormous benefits: •There will be a major reduction in greenhouse gases. We will use new cutting-edge Canadian technology in our refinery. It will be so clean that in combination with oilsands extraction there will be less CO2 than in the huge conventional oilfields and refineries of Iraq and Nigeria. In other words the Kitimat refinery will neutralize the extra greenhouse gases generated in Canada’s oilsands. This refinery will be built in Asia if not in Kitimat, and if so it will emit double the CO2 of our new design. This is the reason that Andrew Weaver of the BC Green Party is in favour of a Canadian refinery. •An Asian refinery will also gen-

erate 100 train cars a day of very dirty coke (much fouler than B.C. coal) which will be subsequently burnt in the atmosphere to create power. The Kitimat refinery will not result in the production of any coke. As we all live on one planet, it is far better for the global environment to build this refinery in Canada. • Construction of the refiner y will create 6,000 jobs in B.C. for five years. Operations at the refinery will result in more permanent jobs David than any project has ever creBLACK ated in B.C. with approximately 3,000 direct jobs. These will be highly paid permanent jobs. These jobs will be available for the life of the refinery which should be in excess of 50 years. In addition there will be thousands of other jobs created in spinoff local petrochemical companies and in indirect employment throughout the province. • The Canadian and Provincial governments, local regional districts and municipalities, and many First Nations, will share in billions of new tax dollars each year. Unfortunately our Canadian oil companies are not interested in building a new major refinery. They are focused on extraction which is more profitable than refining. One of them challenged me to spearhead the refinery myself, so I am doing that. We have a solid business plan and as a consequence Chinese banks and other institutions are prepared to lend us most of the funds required to build the greenest

and most efficient refinery in the world. We are currently moving ahead with engineering design and environmental work. We will also build a safe pipeline from Alberta to the refinery, with the active participation of First Nations. Modern pipelines can be built and operated safely. Leak data is available for everyone to see on Canadian and US government websites and it proves recently constructed pipelines are not leaking. Furthermore some of the best pipelining companies in the world are based in Canada. In addition we will build a fleet of new tankers, powered by LNG rather than Bunker C oil, to transport the refined products to Asia. This way we know the tankers will be state-of-the-art and as safe as possible. The fleet will be owned by a company based in B.C. so it cannot shirk its legal liability if there ever is a spill at sea. Let me be up front about my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C.. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emissions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tanker fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers. If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers please contact your local MP and say so. The Canadian government makes a decision on Northern Gateway next month.

Chemical peels are a great treatment for an instant ‘pick me up’! These peels create an even and controlled shedding of our damaged skin cells as they exfoliate and stimulate the epidermal layers. The acids used in a peel are natural occurring acids, derived from fruits and plants. They work by dissolving the “glue’ that holds these dead skin cells together. It is a very quick, pain free procedure and can be repeated as often as every 2 weeks. After the peel the skin will immediately look smoother, radiant and feel softer, all done over lunchtime! The effect of a peel is a kind of ‘spring cleaning’ for your skin!

throughout the Fraser Valley. There’s no word on who the movie will star. One thing that cities sometimes forget, LeGresley added, is that film production is a boom to the local tourism industry; film locations become a tourist attraction. After movies hit the big screen, people from all over the world want to visit the filming sites. Once the Twilight Saga movies ran, people from Brazil, New Zealand, Australia and Europe flocked to Metro Vancouver. “Chilliwack will be put on the map internationally. This is a worldwide commercial for Chilliwack,” he said. Film production in Chilliwack has been relatively quiet ever since the cancelation of the sci-fi TV series Eureka in 2012. That production routinely closed sections of the downtown, often transforming Wellington Avenue into a small midwestern town. Economic impact of the production was significant. Indeed, in 2012 more than $350 million was spent on film production in B.C. Filming recently wrapped up in Agassiz, where M. Night Shyamalan’s Wayward Pines has been in production. The 10-episode FOX TV series stars Matt Dillon, who plays a secret service agent sent to a small town to investigate the disappearance of two federal officers.

Making waves with green power GREEN from page 4 “The kite monitors the areas it operates in,” Atwater said. “When river users come near, it changes its behavior to be a good neighbour.” The kite is anchored in the river, and as the name suggests is on a string. It sweeps back and forth, generating lift, and that lift is used to generate electricity. “We see these being put in rivers all over the country,” Atwater said. “In Canada, we create five times our (energy) needs.” The really neat component to this invention is that it puts power into the hands of those connected to it. Atwater explained that homeowners connected to HydroKite power would be collecting energy that would “roll back” their smart meter. Because of the constant movement of the river, homes would collect more power than they used, potentially. In those cases, instead of receiving a bill from BC Hydro, homeowners would receive a cheque. “We want to export the power and export the technology,” Atwater said. “We’re a B.C. com-

pany, and we’re committed to building them here.” BC Hydro is moving away from generation of power, he added. “What they care about is providing power to B.C., with as few headaches as possible. What they are resistant to is solar and wind, because they are intermittent. Utilities don’t want power to turn on and off, they need consistent base load power, that’s always on day and night.” But is it safe for the fish? Atwater, who studied mechanical engineering and naval architecture before becoming an entrepreneur, believes it is. “It is absolutely benign to fish because of two reasons,” he said. “Fish want to be at the bottom and the sides of the river, where the flow is the lowest. They want to be in the slowest flow, we want to be in the fastest.” But even fish that end

up in the path of the HydroKite should be safeguarded, he added. “The conventional turbine does kill fish, but it’s not the blades of the turbine hitting the fish that kills the fish,” he said, adding that they’re very good avoiding objects. It’s the water pressure changes as the fish go through the turbine that kills them, he said, when their swim bladders explode. “We don’t get that pressure gradient because of the shape of the kite. They keep swimming merrily on their way,” he said, and they’ve had DFO officials review their work. A single device would power 30 homes. One kilometer of space for HydroKites would produce one megawatt of electricty, enough to power 800 homes. He underlined the fact that it’s still in development, but he’s confident that kites are the power source of the future.

Bartel 604.702.5575 • kbartel@theprogress.com

Courtney Anderson has spent eight years developing The Wanted Children Foundation, an organization working to better the lives of orphaned and vulnerable children living in Nigeria. This year, her efforts paid off, the foundation was officially registered in the country. Anderson will be speaking at a public event on April 29 in the Alumni Hall at Chilliwack secondary. SUBMITTED

Chilliwack foundation makes strides in Nigeria Founder of The Wanted Children Foundation will be speaking at Chilliwack secondary on April 29. Katie Bartel The Progress The Wanted Children Foundation is no longer the baby faced organization it used to be. And neither is its founder. Eight years ago, when Courtney Anderson first rolled out her dreams for changing the lives of orphaned Nigerians, she was wideeyed and admittedly naive. Her foundation has endured years of stumbling blocks, empty promises, people with ulterior motives and swindlers. Anderson had had enough. After a family visit in Chilliwack last spring, she went back to Nigeria with a plan: Things get done her way or she, and her organization, walk away.

“I was tired of hearing encouragements, and nothing happening,” said Anderson, 31, who’s currently back in Chilliwack. “We really went back to give it one last shot. If it didn’t start going the way we intended all along, we were ready to step away. “I had to become much more diplomatic in a fierce way.” It worked. The Wanted Children Foundation was officially registered in Nigeria last July, which means it can now legally house orphaned children. By September, it was reviewing child files, and shortly after taking over guardianship of local children. It currently has nine children in its care, with several others in the wing. “What we’re doing now has always been the goal,” said Anderson. “Rescuing and caring for orphaned and vulnerable children.” The Wanted Children Foundation was established in 2006 after Anderson saw the need first hand on a mission’s trip to the

country. Children in the streets, no home, no parents, no food, many without even clothes on their back. The goal from day one was to provide a safe and nurturing environment for orphaned Nigerians to learn and grow and be given opportunity for a future. The foundation is not an orphanage. The children in Anderson’s care are not being poised for adoption. Quite the opposite. They are being brought up in a home full of love, compassion, education, and equality with the intent of them spreading that beyond the foundation’s walls. “We are raising these children in their country to become the next leaders of their country,” said Anderson. “We are working with little kids, working from the bottom up, in the hope they will make a difference down the road … that they will help change their country and not succumb to how the country is now.” Anderson recognizes it won’t be easy. In the last year, her role has

evolved from founder and employer to mom, teacher, and counsellor multiple times over. The children coming into her care range from one to 10 years old; many coming from horrific living conditions. None of them have seen toilets or bathtubs. They have no social skills. They can’t even eat properly. “They eat so fast and end up puking because they think the food will be taken from them,” said Anderson. “These kids have been living in survival mode for so long … when they first come to us, they don’t smile, they don’t laugh, their eyes are dark, they have no emotion, they’re internally dead.” But within months, they’re laughing, and playing, and running into Anderson’s arms for regular snuggles. “Children are so resilient, no matter the horrible things that have happened to them, and we really tap into that,” said Anderson. Now is not the time to slow down. When Anderson returns to

Nigeria next month, she is going to be actively seeking another house and more land to enable the foundation to care for even more children. She also intends to have a drilling rig set up by Christmas to produce much-needed clean water. Her efforts are not going unnoticed. Anderson has been approached by high ranking officials in other Nigerian cities, as well as India and nearby African countries, asking her to set up homes in their areas. She couldn’t have done it, she said, without Chilliwack’s continued support. Anderson will be speaking at Chilliwack secondary on April 29, a special presentation hosted by the school’s African Relief Club. The free presentation starts at 6 p.m. in the Alumni Hall and is open to the public.

the S3. A smart shopper might want to wait for the R over the S. Verdict This new Golf family is set to take on some very established players in the compact segment. With a hatchback design, this car has always been a more practical design than sedans like the Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla. With superb road manners, advanced engines and German engineering, the starting price looks like a winner. A big reason for this is the Golf is assembled in Mexico and these cars come into Canada without duty, (Thanks NAFTA) so VW added more content and kept the price low. The good news for diesel lovers is that the TDI engine will be available right out of the gate and now represents about 50 percent of Golf sales. This engine too has been modified to make it as fuel efficient as possible. All told, the Golf is more polished car than much of the competition and offers a trim level and price for all types of buyers, from basic to flat-out performance.

Import manufacturers provide the most sizzle in New York NEW YORK – There was more sizzle in my New York steak dinner than on the show floor at the Big Apple’s international auto show. It seems the Big Four shot their lightning bolts at the preceding Detroit and Los An-

geles auto extravaganzas and left it to the import manufacturers to dazzle here. Nissan did not disappoint with the unveiling of a classy looking crossover in the shape of the all-wheel drive 2015 Nissan Murano. The

mid-size model first showed up in 2002 and this new model marks the birth of the third-generation. The Nissannamed V-Motion nose and boomerang-shaped taillights ensure it makes an impression on the observer, coming and

going, and distinguishes itself from its rivals. Inside, up to five passengers can expect more of a luxury ride than they might have enjoyed in the outgoing version – heated and cooled front seats will impress those

upfront. The trend in this segment to include huge sunroofs continues here. Under the hood, Nissan stays with the trusty 3.5-litre sixcylinder powerplant matched to a continuously variable transmission. Expect to see

the Murano in the showrooms at the tail end of the year. Before moving on, the Nissan Sport Sedan Concept should be mentioned as it offers a clue to what the new Maxima might resemble. And boy, is it a looker despite the

horrible orange colour of the show car! It too features a panoramic roof stretching almost from the windshield to the rear window. A production model version is expected later in the year, which suggests the L.A. show might benefit from that timetable. Any new Toyota Camry is an instant hit, especially in North America where it’s been the best selling car for 12 years. Despite that, the Japanese manufacturer launched an all-new 2015 model, just three years after introducing a redesign. It incorporates design touches now appearing in sibling models, including a deeper grille that more resembles an upmarket Lexus. Interior materials are upgraded and a large central display matches the design trend of its competitors. Two trims are added; a sporty XSE with some luxury touches and a Hybrid SE. Toyota sticks with its 2.5-litre, four-cylinder, and 3.5-litre, six-cylinder engines plus its Hybrid Synergy Drive. Hyundai would like to put a serious dent in the Toyota Camry success story with its own mid-size sedan – the redesigned Sonata. It’s likely the introduction of a sharp looking Sonata in 2011 helped prompt Toyota into taking a serious look at upping the ante in the Camry. Other competitors have also risen to the challenge. Now the seventh-generation, newly styled, sharper looking 2015 Sonata raises the bar again with improved ride and handling plus advanced driver assistance and safety equipment. Unlike the Camry, the Sonata stays with purely four-cylinder engines. Standard is a 2.4-litre power plant and a turbocharged 2.0L four is an option. Prices for all of the above closer to launch when pencils have been sharpened and each figure out how they can undercut competitors! keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

cially like the tents that are designed with them in mind. These tents feature a docking collar that fits around the back of your sport-ute so your vehicle is inside your tent. When you need your vehicle, you just remove the collar and zip it up, $379. For hunters there is a Camo version featuring the Mossy Oak break up design. Just be careful sticking your head out the back in the early morning. The newest tent to their product line is the Backroadz truck tent. This value priced tent line fits most pickups and sleeps two comfortably. Easy setup utilizing shock-corded fiberglass poles and offers 5’ 5” of head room. It comes with a rain fly and storm flap in the door section to provide privacy and protection. The cost of this model is $199. The SUV/Minivan tent has a universal sleeve that fits snug around any vehicle with a 9’ x 9’ footprint that can sleep 4-6 people and over 7’ of headroom. There are three large mesh windows providing plenty of ventilation and the bathtub style floor keeps things dry. Carrying bag included for

$269. The interesting thing about this line up is with every purchase a tree will be planted through the partnership with trees for the future. A quick tip, order the Sportz strap protectors for $24.99. These strap protectors will save the finish on the side of your truck and prevent scratches as the wind moves you and your tent around. There are many combinations available from this company, so look them up at www.napierenterprises. com. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Drives-U-Crazy . . . Mascara madness Stopped at the lights the other morning, I watched with amazement as the woman in the car next to me applied her mascara. She changed her rearview mirror position to offer a better view of her lashes then continued the operation as she pulled away on the green! Now that’s distracted driving not just for the subject driver but anybody witnessing it. What drives-u-crazy?

Camping is fun and most of us have done it at one time or another. Of course, it can be miserable without a decent tent that is easy to set up and keeps you dry and comfortable. One of the hottest products on the market today is called “truck tent.” Napier Enterprises developed it and it makes sense for those people that like to go camping, but do not like to sleep on the ground.

Keeping you safe on two wheels

Alexandra Straub

Like education, the motorcycle gear you wear, whether on the road or trails, is vital to your safety. Don’t believe me? Just ask someone who, unfortunately, has had a spill. Here’s an example. A colleague of mine caught gravel around a bend while riding in the States. She hit the guardrail then passed out. She was then airlifted to hospital where she suffered a minor concussion, and a few bruises and scrapes. Even the doctors were amazed how good shape she was in. It was said to her that her gear likely saved her life. She was wearing leathers, gloves, protective boots, and a helmet. Granted, not everyone is as lucky, but you get my point. Furthermore, for those who have experienced an accident, and have been in proper attire, I’m pretty sure you weren’t thinking. “Gee, I really wish I wore my shorts and flip flops!” When I ride, I’m in full garb. Depending on what type of riding I’m taking on that day, I’ll dress appropriately. I’m an advocate of riding gear. All of it. Helmet: The government in British Columbia only enforces one piece of safety equipment when riding on the road. That’s a helmet. If you’re not going to invest any money in anything else, protect your noggin’. I’m not suggesting buying the most expensive and fanciest lid out there because most of us don’t have thousands of dollars for a carbon fibre helmet. In fact, I’ll add this too.

points with carbon fibre to prevent further damage. Like with a helmet, and the rest of your gear, get gloves that fit you, like, a glove! Too much room can cause blisters. Too little room cuts off circulation. Off-Road: If you’re an adventure-touring rider – or would like to be – textile is the way to go. This material is much better for the changing weather you’ll encounter on the road less travelled. It’s breathable and generally has a few layers. So you can take off or put them on when needed. Dirt Biking: Just because you fall in dirt doesn’t mean it can’t hurt! Wearing elbow and kneepads are recom-

Confessions of a Curber I surprised my family with a trip to Hawaii. They didn’t have a clue how I paid for it. But they thought I was the best dad in the world. While we were away, I bought a car on eBay. It had over 350,000 km on it. No one will want to buy this piece of junk, I thought. Unless. I could just lower the mileage on it a little bit. And it won’t hurt anybody, right? One problem – I had no idea how to change an odometer*. But as it turns out, it’s much easier than I’d expected. With an odometer tool, I changed the reading to 164,500 km. Still a lot, but less than half the real clicks. My ad: “Minivan – old but in great condition! Only 164,500kms - it sat in my garage for the last 5 years. Must sell. If you’re looking for an older, but reliable and safe vehicle, call my cell and we’ll negotiate.” Looking back, I realized I’d knocked almost 200,000 km off the vehicle. But I shined it up and put some newer used tires on it so they wouldn’t give away its true condition. Will this get me in trouble? I wondered. I wasn’t doing anything wrong, really – this just gives me a chance to make some more money on the vehicle. I got a phone call from a young single mom who could only afford an older vehicle. We decided to meet at her son’s school. As I was showing her the car, I noticed the carpet, the door handles and the pedals kind of gave away its true condition. Hopefully she’s too naïve to notice, I thought.

Forty minutes later, our exchange was complete. I probably made an extra $2,000 because of the odometer! If I’d only done this to all the other cars I sold! Suddenly, my mind began processing the implications. That minivan was pretty much at the end of its life. That young mom is expecting the vehicle to last her for a few more years. At best, I see it lasting one more. Parts will start failing, calling for expensive repairs. I’m certain she doesn’t have the money for that. All I’m hoping is that it doesn’t break down on the highway. Maybe there was a reason I never did it before. Maybe, just maybe, I had a conscience up until now.

*Odometer: The law allows an odometer to be replaced when broken, but the repair must be recorded and the true mileage needs to be disclosed. CarProof and ICBC vehicle history reports can reveal more about how far a vehicle has really traveled. Even AirCare, where available, can help. And Walt is wrong; altering an odometer is a crime.

mended. A lot of dirt riders will also add a chest protector/breastplate, gloves, boots and goggles. Along with their helmet, of course. Accessories: If you want added piece of mind, that’s available, too. I ride with a back protector with built-in kidney protectors that I put on under my jacket. I look like a Ninja Turtle, but I don’t care! They work. A full chest protector is also available. I’ve only scratched the surface for gear out there, but these are the basics to getting started. Bottom line, you likely won’t regret being fully suited on the road. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

I’ve been told that even the cheapest helmet that fits perfectly will do more for you than an expensive one that’s just not right for you.

Make sure it fits properly. Local motorcycle shops generally have trained staff in fitting helmets. They’re supposed to fit snugly. I’ve been told that even the cheapest helmet that fits perfectly will do more for you than an expensive one that’s just not right for you. You only have one head. Use it. And protect it. Jackets: There are a couple of common materials used in jackets: leather and textile. There are more, but the two listed are quite prominent. Each have their own benefits. Textile jackets tend to be more breathable, while leather has been said to be better protection. You can argue each case. Some jackets come with armor (added protection in the back, elbows, and shoulders.) Some don’t. I suggest armor only because it protects you that much more. However, there are accessories you can purchase if your jacket you choose doesn’t come with it built in. Pants: Leather, textile and Kevlar jeans are common riding pants. Kevlar jeans are getting better and better as more research and development is conducted. I say, if you’re going for the “cool” look, spend a little more for the added protection. Boots: Not everyone will want heavily reinforced boots. That’s fine. But if you’re going to ride, get leather footwear that at least covers your anklebone. Speaking of which, have you ever hit your anklebone on a table leg? Hurts, doesn’t it. Now imagine a 220-kilo machine falling on it. Think safety. What’s great about the industry now, is the availability to cool riding shoes that have reinforced heels and ankle protection. You can look good and be protected. Bonus. Gloves: There are a few styles of gloves. There are ones that cover just your hands/fingers and ones called gauntlet gloves that cover past your wrists. Some gloves also have reinforced

The idea is to engage young people in a disappearing art form, and teach them something about their cultural history. A $9,000 provincial grant is going to the Coqualeetza Cultural and Education Centre from BC Creative Spaces for the revival of Salish weaving in the Stó:ló Territory. “We are grateful for the opportunity to secure the necessary tools to continue our journey of reviving Salish weaving with our Stó:ló elders and youth who can gather to teach, share and learn the processing of wool and traditional weaving, Kw’as hóy,” said Coqualeetza Cultural Education Centre manager Patricia RaymondAdair. Both local MLAs see the value. “It is important for all of us to preserve our cultural roots by taking an active role in passing along knowledge and history that could easily be lost from one generation to the next,” said Chilliwack MLA John Martin. It’s seen as a one-of-a-kind effort. “This project will be a unique opportunity for youth to acquire new skills and connect with their history through their elders,” said Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness. BC Creative Spaces grants support the creative and innovative capacity of B.C. artists and cultural organizations, with 41 organizations sharing $804,000 in funding. These one-time only grants are available to assist non-profit community and arts organizations, First Nations councils, and friendship centres in developing new spaces, improving existing facilities, and attaining specialized equipment.

youth as partners while providing adult guidance and dealing with issues that affect both youth and adults. Â The higher we go on this ladder, the more likely weâ€™ll be acting like parents who involve their children early in decision making.Â The children are more likely to think that they are part of the community and, as a result, care for it like itâ€™s their own. Â Youth engagement isnâ€™t easy. Itâ€™s not as simple as having an event now and then. For instance, at my office we have been trying to have youth work with us to educate other youth about mental health and where to get help.Â Itâ€™s a fact that youth talk to their peers first when they have a problem. Why not then teach youth how to direct their friends to appropriate help?Â Itâ€™s a sound idea, and one we tried first by having adults talking to youth and showing them a PowerPoint about mental health.Â The information couldnâ€™t hurt, but it didnâ€™t really engage youth or cause them to think that this task of education for their peers should matter to them. Then, after consulting with groups of youth, we heard them say, â€œTalk to kids younger and get kids like us Continued: YOUTH/ p33

Youth engagement is a term that interests the social agencies and schools in Chilliwack.Â To measure how well we do with it, think of a ladder. The bottom rung of the ladder is not asking kids about things that will affect them. The next rung might be informing what the plan is. The third rung might be asking their opinion.Â A further rung is collaboration. Going even higher on the ladder would be to work with

Perspectives Getting buy-in from youth takes patience YOUTH from page 32 to talk to them.” So we started groups for youth and trained them to talk to other youth. Through this adult-led process, we’ve realized that youth have a lot to teach us about how to do things. For instance, they asked, “Why don’t we have other events in our schools that highlight mental health concerns?” Another group suggested that instead of the infamous “death by PowerPoint,” why not have discussion in a world café format? Because youth understand youth culture, the information shared is more relevant but still vetted by appropriate adults. We call the program “Youth as Gatekeepers.” Youth engagement takes time, patience and resources. There are decisions made every day in this community that could likely be improved if youth

were full partners in the process. Yes, that may mean youth get course credits or honoraria to attend meetings of city councils, boards of education, parent advisories and boards of agencies. The outcome would be young people who feel they own the place, so they care more about the place.

Well, it’s finally here – the beginning of our vegetable gardening season. But before you lift even one shovel full of soil, Brian let me MINTER offer a few suggestions on how to achieve better success with your vegetable garden this year.

Creative Kids Contest Challenge Enter now through May 6th at:

www.theprogress.com/contests

We tend to be creatures of habit. Why not move your vegetable garden to a different part of the yard? Old lawn areas offer the greatest potential for new gardens and even if it’s too late to change for this year, consider it for next season. A little rearranging of the landscape is often a good idea. Insects and diseases come and go in rather predictable cycles, and if you break up that cycle, you may just minimize some pesky problems. In the Lower Mainland, once your garden is cultivated and ready for planting, apply some Dolopril or the organic eggshell lime at the rate of one bag per 1000 square feet. Not only does it make the soil less acidic, but these limes also add the valuable magnesium and calcium that tomatoes, when planted later, need so much. Remember, however, that potatoes and lime do not get on well together, so keep lime

Keep your seeds up high where it’s warmer and drier, says Brian Minter. That’s why raised beds are always so effective. SUBMITTED

away from the spudgrowing area. Compost can be added any time over the spring planting period, but it is most beneficial applied when rototilling or cultivating the garden soil. Many of the nutrients in organic compost and manures are quickly available,

and some are lost if left in the soil too long before the plants go in. I admire the folks who try to grow one hundred percent organically, but sometimes it’s not always possible. I personally believe that lots of organic manure and compost used in a gar-

den and supplemented with some organicallybased fertilizers is a practical combination. The idea is to enjoy as much flavour and receive as many nutrients as possible from our home grown vegetables with the least amount of labour and cost. How you solve Continued: TIPS/ p35

16th Annual

A few tips to help your garden grow

This week’s feature: e:

ing. This is truly the way to go, and so many new varieties of vegetables perform well in containers. These are new hybrids created from traditional breeding. The last concern I have is starting many of our vegetables too early. Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, eggplants and squashes should be planted out in the later part of May when it’s warm. Even beans need warm soil for the best success. There is still lots of time, and later plantings will often catch up to early ones, especially if the weather stays wet and cold. I hope a few of these comments will make this wonderful experience of planting your vegetable garden easier and more enjoyable.

this area of concern is up to you, of course. When you get down to planting seeds, there are a few tips I’d like to share. First of all, ‘bargain seeds’ are not a bargain! Buy the best hybrid and old reliable varieties that you know work well in your garden, but also keep experimenting with new varieties to see if you can improve the flavour, versatility and production time. I freeze all my vegetable seeds for 48 hours before sowing to help stratify them. This should speed up and improve germination. Most people plant their seeds far too deep. Folks, the deeper you go, the colder and damper it is down there.

Keep your seeds up high where it’s warmer and drier. That’s why raised beds are always so effective. Maybe it’s just me, but I often wonder why most European and Asian gardeners have small gardens and most of us have huge ones. The fact is less is more and we are needlessly wasting space, fertilizer, compost, water and oodles of time in our gardens. Keep your pathways to a minimum and increase the size of your rows. Widerow gardening is the norm around the world, saving space and allowing a longer harvest period. The outside vegetables always mature first, while the ones on the inside, because they are more shaded, mature later. The other trend is container garden-

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Husker hopes start with spring camp Eric J. Welsh, The Progress New Valley Huskers bench boss Adam Smith has spent the last few months telling anyone who’ll listen that things are different. That he’s passionate and committed to building a football team that inspires pride on and off the field. That the days of being the BC Football Conference punching bag are coming to an end. He’s also said, all along, that words mean nothing and people will only believe it when they see it. Spring camp (May 2-4) is his first chance to prove that things are changing, and he’s starting with the theory that bigger isn’t necessarily better. “We’re going a little smaller this year, not inviting as many kids up,” the coach said. “We want more interaction with the players who do come. We’ve got a lot more parents coming up this year as well, and what we want is more one on one meetings with them.” That’s a switch. In year’s past, coaches used numbers as a gauge for success. More players at spring camp meant recruiting had gone well. “Instead of bringing out 90 and signing 20, we’re looking at 55-60 kids with the hope of

“Are you coming here because you can’t go anywhere else, ‘So let’s come to Chilliwack. At least I can make that team,’” Smith asked. “We don’t want that kind of attitude coming in. I get emails from some players that are basically, ‘What can you do for me if I come out to play?’ I’ve sent a few emails back asking, ‘What can you do for us?’ As much as he’s enjoyed his first real foray into recruiting, Smith’s looks forward to being on the field. He expects to learn a lot as putting prospects through their paces. The compressed nature of spring camp, with three practices and a scrimmage, makes it easy to pick out two types. “You’ll see the high football IQ guys who may not be the best athletes, but they catch on to systems right away and don’t make mistakes,” Smith said. “And you’ll be able to spot the athletes right away. They may not learn as quick, but you’ll see him making plays because he’s quicker, faster, stronger.” Smith hopes to spot a third group, the natural leaders. “He’ll do anything to help his team win,” Smith said, describing the type he calls diamonds in the rough. “He’s at practice first. Leaves last. Knows the playbook inside and out. He may not be the best player, but he’s the type who gets respect. Every team needs some of those.” Get Huskers info online at valleyhuskers.org and contact Smith by email asmith. coach@gmail.com

Offseason signing spree continues

The Chilliwack Chiefs have signed three more players as head coach and GM Jason Tatarnic continues his roster renovation. The team announced the signing of 18 year old defenceman Vincent (Vinnie) Desharnais Tuesday. Filling the size quotient lost when Cooper Rush left last year, the new guy measures six-footsix and 200 pounds. A native of Laval, QC, Desharnais spent last

goals, adding nine assists in 25 games last year. “Our goal as a team next season is to play a high tempo game, and adding Liam brings speed to our lineup,” Tatarnic noted. “We know his goal is to play college hockey one day and we’re extremely happy he decided to play in Chilliwack to try and achieve that goal.” The third recruit, announced Thursday, is 18 year old D-man Olivier Arseneau. A native of Miramichi, NB, he spent last season with the Ontario Hockey Academy’s midget AAA Gold Mavericks. Arseneau captained the team, scoring 18 points (three goals) in 28 games. “Olivier is a hard

working defender that will bring a physical element to our team and will battle for pucks in the dirty areas,” Tatarnic said. “He’s responsible on the defensive side but he also adds good offensive instincts to our team.” Arseneau hopes he can step in and be a leader for the 2014-15 Chiefs. “My experience as a captain at OHA will certainly help me set a good example, and I hope I can help the team with my offensive skills,” he said. “I think Chilliwack is a great place, the Chiefs organization looks incredible and the fans love their team. I just can’t wait to get started.” Get Chiefs info online at chilliwackchiefs.net

season at Northwood High School in Lake Placid, NY. He showed offensive chops, tallying five goals and 21 points in 37 games, while finishing plus-15. “A main priority for us is to improve our defensive core, and adding a player of Vincent’s pedigree will do just that,’ Tatarnic said. “Vinnie has been a highly sought after player this off season and we are very excited he has chosen Chilliwack.” On Wednesday the team announced the inking of 19 year old for ward Liam Ferguson, a former teammate of ex-Chief Luke Esposito.

signing 40-45 of them,” Smith said. “The individual meetings are the big thing, to see how they feel about us and let them know how we feel about them. And we want their parents to be a big part of this.” Smith has spent much of his offseason on local recruiting, developing a network of contacts in Abbotsford, Mission and surrounding areas. “Considering how bad our past has been, we’ve gotten a much better response from the local kids than we thought we would,” Smith said. “I thought we were about a year away from that, that we needed to show them something first.” Rather than hide from the team’s dismal history, Smith and Husker general manager Moe Agagnier have tackled it head on. “Myself and Moe sit down and we address all of the bad stuff players and parents may have heard about,” Smith said. “But then we go on, tell them about our plan and passion, and how we’ll change things to finally be successful. Some parents and players think something special is starting out here, and some are still iffy. And that’s understandable, because we haven’t done anything yet.” With so much bad perception to overcome, Smith could be forgiven for kowtowing to prospects — begging them to give Chilliwack a chance. He doesn’t do that. Smith said he’s already turned away promising recruits because he didn’t believe their intentions were true.

All the same when the race begins The flag drops on racing season at the Agassiz Speedway Saturday, with action in several classes. Rober t Adams, Chilliwack native and dominant force in Hornet racing, returns to the Progress pages with an insider’s look, going behind the curtain for a peek at preseason preparation. Well, here we are again, standing at the threshold of another spectacular racing season, with my No. 61 Hornet car ready to once again prove its worth. There is a substantial difference between Hornet racing at the Agassiz Raceway and the NASCAR pros you see on TV. They do have one thing in common though, when it comes to getting a car ready to race. Ensuring the reliability of the engine is crucial, though the two groups do it in very different ways. After five months on the shelf, a NASCAR car goes through a rigorous prep process. They run it on a dynamometer (which measures engine power output) for 30 minutes to break it in again. They inspect the engine and check the filters for excess metal shavings to make sure no abnormal wear has taken place. They’ll put it back on the dynamometer for another two hours — during this test, the ignition timing is dialed in to maximize power

and the engine is cycled through various speed and power ranges for analyzing power bands and shift ranges. After this test, the engine is inspected thoroughly again. The valve train is pulled and the camshaft and valve lifters are inspected. The insides of the cylinders are examined for abnormal wear. The cylinders are pressurized and the rate of leak-down is measured to see how well the pistons and seals hold the pressure. All of the lines and hoses are checked. Then, the engine is entirely reassembled and tested again to ensure it’s ready. Only after all of these tests and inspections are finished is the engine ready to go to the races. Here, by contrast, is the checklist Hornet drivers use to prep their cars: 1 - Start the engine.

2 - Let idle for three seconds, then rev it up to the red line and hold it for three seconds. If it doesn’t blow up, it’s ready for racing. 3- Shut it down and tow to the track. NASCAR teams will spend $14,000 and one week’s time just testing different types of tires — compounds and temperature differences. Hornet drivers beg for discarded tires from generous tire dealers (thanks Wally!). Once mounted, we walk around the car, and, if there are no rims touching the ground, we assume we have air in the tires, and are ready to go. Thirty seconds maximum and no money spent. Woohoo! NASCAR teams will spend about $6,000 on a paint scheme and wax procedure to get their cars so shiny you can use them as a hall mir-

ror. Hornet drivers use a rubber hammer to bang out the panels and a $5.50 can of spray paint to touch up the gouges. NASCAR teams spend another $64,000 for the driver and crew to test the car on a track over a two week period. Hornet drivers spend $1.25 driving the car 25 meters up the ramps onto the trailer, hoping no parts fell off on the way. Still, when the engines rev up and the flag goes down, the enjoyment and the entertainment for the fans remains the same. The adrenaline is just as high and the noise factor just as stimulating. The Hornets run Saturday night. Also, see the spectacularly speedy Street Stocks, riotous Mini Stocks and infamous Hit to Pass cars. Action starts at 7 p.m. Get info online at agassizspeedway.com

1. What is Burma’s main food crop? 2. What trench is the deepest in the world? 3. What country’s flag is the reverse of the flag of the Red Cross? 4. Whose operatic marriage was a sequel to “The Barber of Seville”?

The fight card has been announced for the May 2 WarPath Fighting Championships event, being held at Tzeachten Hall. Mixed martial arts fans will see 10 matches, including a welterweight title bout between Chad Gerow and Andy Padda. ‘Ready to Go’ Gerow is from the Kitselas First Nation near Terrace. He trains at World Extreme Kickboxing in Surrey and Four Directions Martial Arts in Chilliwack. Padda started his training under the guidance of Kultar ‘the Black Mamba’ Gill, and represents Surrey’s LevelUp MMA. “Don’t blink!” said WFC promotor Darwin Douglas. “This fight will prove to be an all-out war between two equally tough and skilled opponents.” Kolten ‘KoKo’ Higginbottom trains locally at Four Directions and will take on LevelUp’s Percy Hayer in a welterweight match. Wally Joe, Stó:lo Coast Salish from the Kwakwapilt First Nation, meets Justin Auld-Field from Pacific Top Team Jiu Jitsu (Kelowna) in another feature match. Events at Tzeachten Hall have traditionally been held in a ring, but this even will put the action into a cage. For more info and the full fight card, visit warpathmma.com

Chilliwack kayaker Jazmyne Denhollander has spent the week way down under, competing in the 2014 ICF U-23 and Junior World Championships in Penrith, Australia. A member of Team Canada, Denhollander paddled in the U-23 women’s single-person (K1) slalom kayak. A pair of heats were held Wednesday. Denhollander struggled mightily in the first, picking up 104 seconds of penalty time. Her otherwise solid time of 114.42 ballooned up to 218.42, leaving her 34th and last in the field. But she bounced back nicely in her second run, with a nearly clean performance. Denhollander picked up just four seconds of penalty time. He total of 119.95 bumped her up to 23rd. Denhollander paddled in a semi-final run Friday morning (after Progress press deadlines). She went into it 18.95 seconds behind overall leader Jessica Fox from Austria. The event is being held at the Penrith Whitewater Stadium. Catch results in the next issue of the Progress sports section. Full results can also be found online at penrith2014.worldchampionships.events.slalom.canoeicf.com/
