Chilliwack teachers join the picket lines Rotating strikes extended another week

Plenty of passion as Chilliwack teachers walk

The Progress The “one-day” rotating teacher strikes is not being kept to one day. The BC Teachers’ Federation announced Wednesday that it would continue the rotating strikes into next week to further increase pressure at the bargaining table. Chilliwack teachers will be on the picket lines Tuesday, June 3. The BCTF and BC Public School Employers’ Association has been at the bargaining table for a year and a half, but has failed to agree on issues like class size, composition, staffing levels and wages. The acrimony between the two sides is becoming increasingly concerning for those in the Chilliwack school district.

At the school district level, several meetings have been postponed and the development of the new strategic plan has been put on hold as well. “With the rotating strikes continuing, that of course has ripple effects throughout the entire district, and it is very concerning,” said Chilliwack school board chair Walt Krahn. “We have concerns from parents, we have concerns from students, we have students who are anxious with the unknowns facing them. And it is not the positive atmosphere and setting which we normally have.” But Gord Byers, president of the Chilliwack District Parents’ Advisory Council, isn’t faulting teachers. Continued: STRIKE/ p4

The Progress It wasn’t hard to find passionate teachers on the picket lines Thursday. Even if they hadn’t been mandated to be out there for four hour shifts, several said they would have been anyway. Rain and all. “This is all about students,” said Chilliwack middle school teacher Kellie Ganske. “It’s about giving them the best education they deserve.” Something Ganske and her colleagues firmly believe they are not currently getting. CMS teacher Tracy Morphord has 10 students with special needs in one class, but only one educa-

tional assistant. “All of these students have very different needs,” she said. “We do the best we can with what we’re given, but we can’t possibly deal with all their individual needs. “In the media it’s unfortunately been all about wages, but class size and composition is very near and dear to our hearts.” Laurie Sarnaski, a teacher at Central elementary, disparaged over her inner-city school having limited library time due to staffing cuts. Currently Central students are getting a half an hour of library time a week, with no time at recess or lunch. The current teacher-librarian, who has accepted a position Continued: TEACHERS/ p4

It’s going to mean some long hours for people working as extras on a movie shoot at Cultus Lake starting next week. Nickelodeon has announced it will be shooting a made-for-television movie, Splitting Adam, at Cultus Lake Waterpark. Production crews will be setting up and shooting in the Cultus Lake Waterpark for about five days as of Monday, confirmed waterpark owner Chris Steunenberg. “We’ll be open to the public while they’re filming,” he said. “They’ll be taking over a part of the waterpark as well as a section of the parking lot.” The waterpark could figure prominently in the movie. Two casting assistants from BCF Casting in Vancouver were trying to get the details out to Chilliwack on social media recently for any prospective residents who wanted to be extras in the movie. In recent weeks, they’ve been appealing to actors, aged 6 to 30 for paid extra work on the film by asking for profiles to be sent to www. bcfcasting.com. The waterpark opens for the summer season on Saturday. It’s early enough in the season so the filming activity is not expected to cause any headaches, the owner said. “Our parking lot will be sufficient.” There have been attempts to organize film shoots at the waterpark before, but none that were successful, Steunenberg said. “We’re totally into this. We think this will be good for Chilliwack and the surrounding area. It will help promote us as a tourist area.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Ice blamed for fatal RCMP helicopter crash The fatal crash of an RCMP helicopter near Cultus Lake in early 2012 is being blamed on snow and ice that got into the engine, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada has concluded. And it’s worried that similar situations could arise again in cold weather conditions. The aircraft was taking part in a training mission on January 17 when it went down shortly after takeoff, killing 46-year-old civilian pilot David Brolin. In a report released Wednesday, the TSB said “soft ice” was ingested by the engine, leading to a complete loss of power.

The helicopter, a Eurocopter AS 350 B3, was taking part in a training mission with the RCMP’s Emergency Response Team. While on the ground, snow began to fall heavily, the TSB said. The helicopter was returning to base, but soon after takeoff, a muffled bang, and the sounds of the engine and rotor diminishing rapidly were heard. The aircraft descended almost vertically, crashing nose first just off the Liumchen Creek Forest Service Road east of Cultus Lake. The investigation found the protective engine covers had not been installed when the helicopter was

parked during the heavy snowfall, and that the air intake system was not cleaned and dried prior to engine start. After the helicopter was started and running at low power, soft ice had built up inside the air intake; and during take-off at high power, the ice broke free and was ingested into the engine compressor which led to a complete engine power loss. “This caused the rapid loss of the main rotor speed, an extremely high rate of descent, and the impact with terrain that was not survivable,” the TSB said. Since the accident, Eurocopter, the RCMP and Transport Canada

(TC) have reminded pilots of the need to ensure the engine air intake system is clean prior to takeoff. However, the investigation concluded that preventative measures cannot easily be accomplished in field operations and this presents a risk. There are over 500 Eurocopter AS 350 and EC 130 helicopters being operated by 132 operators in Canada. The investigation found these helicopters are susceptible to ice formation in cold weather operations, and the TSB is concerned that in certain conditions, these helicopters may be at increased risk of engine flame-out shortly after takeoff.

The TSB has concluded its investigation into a fatal RCMP helicopter crash near Cultus Lake Jan. 17 2012.

New Cultus theme park a dream come true Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chris Steunenberg knows how lucky he is to be living every kid’s dream. He gets to oversee construction of a new theme park at Cultus Lake — from the ground up — as both its owner and general contractor. “This place is going to be incredible!” says an obviously pumped Steunenberg. “It’s not just an amusement park, or a travelling fair with a midway. It’s going to be a family theme park.” He took The Progress on an exclusive tour of the Cultus Lake Adventure Park, now under construction across the road from his companion attraction, Cultus Lake WaterPark. The new theme park will open later this summer with mind-blowing, attractions and rides in a blend of whimsical and western themes. “We expect to see about 1,000 guests a day,” he estimates. There’s a ferris wheel type ride —the Wagon Wheel — that will preside over the park, and attractions like Buckin’ Bronco, one of “the biggest, and most aggressive” can accommodate up to 24 passengers. There will be a beautiful carousel ride, playful bumper boats in a pond, a balloon adventure ride, and even rental bikes to toodle around on. “It’s really a special project,” says Steunenberg. “It’s been two years in planning. “We brought in Dan Sawatsky on this one, right from day one.” The layered designs with unique creatures and themed elements come directly from the fertile mind of artist Dan Sawatsky of Imagination Corporation. Sawatsky was the creator behind Giggle Ridge when it opened in 2000, and has been wowing the world with his award-winning designs ever since. Every crooked line and wonderfully curvy building has

Waste recycling plant earns Fraser River a place on endangered list Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

been meticulously planned and designed in this project. “Every time you come into the park, you’ll see something new that you never noticed before,” he promises. Sawatsky is known for his abhorrence of a straight line, and for his appealing, cartoonish lines and signs. “Because the land here is so vital, every square inch counts. It’s been an incredible challenge to fit in everything that we expected, wanted and needed for this project,” says Steunenberg. Some of the elements are unusual, like the watery aspects park guests will discover. “Water is beautiful,” he offers. There will be lots of waterways,

waterfalls, creeks and even a oneof-a-kind “wet pad,” to amuse kids of all ages. And the construction process has been lightening fast. Steunenberg says coming from a heavy construction background it was natural to be the general contractor for this project, as well as he was for the waterpark when it was built. “It becomes second nature to build quality and to build strong.” They broke ground on the project in October, and the construction crews, trades and contractors have been going hard at it over the winter. The new site with three separate entrances, and the Giggle Ridge Mini Golf course will be

incorporated right into it. Plus, they’re going with an “open gate” policy, meaning people can walk along the large walkway through the adventure park for free. Guests will pay as they go to get on rides and explore attractions that beckon. “It’s our gift to the community,” the owner adds about the open gate idea. Most theme parks charge an entrance fee as well as user fees. They plan to entertain up to 300,000 people every summer with the combined offerings at the two businesses at Cultus, which will require an employment base of about 200 employees. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

The controversial waste recycling project planned by Aevitas Inc. has earned the Chilliwack part of the Fraser River a spot on the most endangered rivers’ list by the Outdoor Recreation Council of B.C. The local section of the Fraser was listed alongside B.C. rivers like the Peace, Similkameen, Pennask, and Callaghan Creek, because it faces a “major new threat” in the form of the waste recycling plant, according to the ORC. “A major new threat is a proposed hazardous waste treatment plant slated for a riverside location that has already been rezoned for such activity by the local government of Chilliwack,” said Mark Angelo in the ORC release. “The proposed location for this facility, which would be built by Aevitas and handle such dangerous materials as PCBs and mercury, is in the midst of the most productive and sensitive part of the Fraser. “If there was to be a spill, a leaching issue, or a major event such as a fire or flood, the river would be inescapably impacted, as would downstream communities,” said Angelo, adding the precautionary approach should apply. This is the point at which the stories of the two sides start to diverge. Chilliwack council approved the M6, ‘special industrial’ rezoning on Cannor Road for the waste recycling plant proposed Continued: FRASER/ p6

ing a history paper on Thursday, Clarke-Harter told The Progress she’s offended by how teachers have been treated by the government. “The teachers I’ve known for the 12 years of my education have been wonderful, helpful, adequate people who have helped me in every possible way they could, and the fact the Liberal government is just treating them like crap is awful,” said Clarke-Harter, whose father is a

former school trustee and mother is a Chilliwack teacher. “I really do believe the teachers have the right to be fighting for what they’re fighting for right now … we should have their backs.” Chilliwack school district is once again requesting parents keep their children home from school during the strike day on Tuesday as there won’t be adequate supervision available. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

than contract negotiations, it’s about democracy and the lack of respect Christy Clark has shown for democratic principles,” she said. Teachers weren’t the only ones carrying political sandwich boards. A large contingent of CUPE support staff were on the picket lines as well. According to CUPE 411 president, Rod Isaac, the majority of his membership – 825

in total – were out in one form or other supporting teachers. “The government doesn’t seem to understand what’s going on in schools on a day-to-day basis and how they are underfunding education,” said Isaac, standing outside Chilliwack secondary, after already visiting five other sites. “The chronic underfunding of schools needs to stop.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Barry Penner moves to Myanmar Jennifer Feinberg The Progress “I called to say goodbye.” The family was in the car. The movers were in his Chilliwack home. Barry Penner was making his farewell calls to some local media. The former Chilliwack MLA and his family were preparing to board a plane and take up residence far away from Chilliwack in Southeast Asia. “I wouldn’t be making this move without the enthusiastic support of my wife, Daris and what we hope will be

support from our three-yearold daughter, Fintry,” Penner writes on his Facebook page. “We will miss B.C. very much, but expect to be back to visit. If you happen to be in Myanmar, please look us up. I’m sure we will be eager for news from Canada.” This week they were boarding a plane and heading to Myanmar to be specific, formerly known as Burma, where Penner will be working in his field in an atmosphere he described as a “frontier market.” “I will be working with Mynamar Legal Services to assist in managing their

increasingly busy office, as investment flows into this rapidly developing country,” Penner said. He worked as a Law Co-op student in Thailand 20 years ago, and the firm Chandler & Thong-ek is affiliated with the new firm in Myanmar. He kept in touch and it led to an opportunity. “It’s obviously a big step for my family and I, and it is not without some trepidation that we are embarking on what will undoubtedly be an interesting personal and career adventure.” Penner’s political career from his time in Chilliwack

include his fight against the SE2 power plant, and for supporting run-of-the-river and green energy projects. He held the portfolios of Attorney General of B.C., Deputy House Leader, Minister of Environment and Minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation. Penner was first elected as a local MLA in 1996 and re-elected in 2001 and 2005 (Chilliwack-Kent) with some of the highest margins in the province. He was re-elected in the 2009. He stepped away from politics and returned to law in 2012. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Rebecca Abernethy will cycle 100 km daily for Bike to Work week. SUBMITTED

Avid cyclist takes on epic Bike to Work commuting challenge She’s an avid cyclist who missed her car-free commute since taking a job in Chilliwack. FVRD Environmental Services coordinator, Rebecca Abernethy is getting reading to bike to work more than 100 km daily starting Monday for Bike to Work week. She’ll travel from home in Vancouver to her office in Chilliwack in part to support Canadian Environment Week June 2-6. Since combustion engine vehicles are one of the main sources of greenhouse gas emissions, Abernethy’s trek illustrates that biking to work can be a viable option for almost anyone. As an avid cyclist who used to regularly commute to work in Vancouver, Abernethy missed her car-free days after taking the job at the Chilliwack-based Fraser Valley Regional District office eight months ago. She’s glad to get back on the bike. “When I lived and worked in Vancouver, my commute was always on bike or foot. But now since my daily travel is a lot longer, cycling is a bit of a challenge. Bike to Work week became the perfect opportunity and inspiration,” says Abernethy. One of the FVRD’s corporate objectives is to improve the air quality in the Fraser Valley airshed. “We think it is absolutely amazing that Rebecca has taken on this commuting challenge. The FVRD is extremely proud of her initiative, and the drive of all staff to help improve air quality and the impact we have on the environment,” said FVRD Chair Sharon Gaetz. It’s quite the feat. “Although it can’t be done every day, I hope this inspires others to think about what their commute is doing to the environment. It’s a small step, but I believe every single one puts us in the right direction,” said Abernethy. Continued: FVRD/ p7

by Ontario-based firm Aevitas earlier in the year. Several council members said they were convinced the recycling of waste could be conducted safely at the site, and impressed by the company’s safety record. Aevitas president Byron Day is calling the whole matter “ironic,” given the role that Aevitas plays as responsible recycling stewards of the environment. Aevitas is known as an industry specialist in the hazardous waste treatment field, with experience in safe

handling of a range of waste that could otherwise be dangerous. The Chilliwack facility will be their 10th waste recycling facility. “It is very ironic that a plant set up to eliminate PCB and mercury can be called a threat to the river,” Day wrote in a terse email after being notified about the ORC’s 2014 most endangered rivers’ listing. Opposition to the project is “escalating rapidly,” Angelo suggested, and a legal challenge to the rezoning process had been filed. “While ORC clearly supports the importance of treating toxic wastes, such facilities must be located on more appropriate sites away from rivers,” Angelo added. As far as it being the

“wrong” location, Day countered that they looked exhaustively for the right location before choosing the Cannor Road site in Chilliwack, in part because of the safety aspects of being located away from the city’s residential and commercial centres in a more remote spot. The waste recyclers have vowed to make the plant disaster-proof, and the location would be about 150 to 200 metres from the river. “One of the reasons why we like that location is because it is in a diked area,” said Day back in February. “If there was a major spill, it’s not going anywhere from those areas, and it won’t free drain into the river.” They have systems designed to safely handle waste that could oth-

erwise be hazardous, but none of the groups with stated opposition to the plant have ever acknowledged these steps. Aevitas reps say the plant will have an odour control system, geo membranes, fire suppression foam, and assurance that all waste recycling will be conducted indoors. The floors of the facility will be built above the catastrophic flood level and it will be built to withstand a flood and not be affected. “I would think these groups would be promoting our processes as they take care of the very contaminants that cause the problems in the river,” Day concluded in his note to The Progress. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Thermage® is a non-invasive treatment for tightening loose and sagging skin. The most common areas treated are forehead, around the eyes, the mid and lower face and the neck. After one treatment results appear gradually over a 6 month period. Typically there is no downtime required. We are finding that Thermage® treatments used in conjunction with Botox, Fillers and Fraxel® create dramatic improvements to achieve a more youthful appearance. At our office we refer to the combination of Fraxel® and Thermage® as “the facelift bypass procedure”.

Pointsof View

The Chilliwack Progress is published by Black Press Group Ltd., every Wednesday and Friday at 45860 Spadina Ave., Chilliwack. The Progress is a member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association, British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspaper Association and B.C. Press Council.

No reason for optimism Amid the rhetoric, acrimony, and accusations, the dispute between the BC Teachers’ Federation and the provincial government comes down to one thing: Money. The two sides may choose a more colourful palette: Politicians will argue its all about responsible stewardship of the economy; teachers will say its about quality of education. But still, it all comes down to money. Or more to the point, taxes. Currently, $4.7 billion of your tax dollars is spent on the education system annually. The government says that should be enough. In fact, it argues it’s 27 per cent more than what was spent in 2001. The BCTF says it’s not. Citing stats that suggest B.C.’s per student funding is among the lowest in Canada, it says more must be done. The debate has polarized the province. But while taxpayers may agree to disagree on who’s to blame for the latest impasse, there is one thing they can agree on: The system is broken. Only twice in the past two decades has a collective agreement been agreed upon by all the parties involved. During that time, there has been a noticeable contraction in public education. In the past five years, for example, the number of students

enrolled has dropped by 21,498. At the same time, student population at independent schools has gown by 6,605. To suggest that labour unrest is the reason for this migration would be an oversimplification. And yet, every time there’s a labour disruption enrollment climbs at private schools. Clearly there are people who are willing to spend more to educate their children. The BCTF argues the average taxpayer should do the same. It says education in B.C. is chronically underfunded and deserves a bigger share of the financial pie. But it also says that should not come at the expense of other government sectors. That means one thing: higher taxes. And that seems unlikely. During the last provincial election neither the NDP nor the BC Liberals showed an appetite raise the kind of money needed to meet the spending expectations of the BCTF. Doing so now seems even less likely, meaning an arbitrated settlement that only perpetuates the distrust and animosity. If that sounds pessimistic, it’s not. Given the history, it’s simply realistic. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Disappearing glaciers should be cause for concern What would B.C. Place Stadium look like if you filled it with water? OK, now empty it. Then fill it up again 8,300 times. This’ll take a while. You will need 22 billion cubic metres of water to get the job done. That’s easy. Because that’s the same amount of water that British Columbia’s 17,000 glaciers are permanently losing every year. That staggering stat is causing serious concern among researchers from the University of Northern British Columbia, universities in Alber ta and Washington State and scientists with the federal government who have all collaborated on a major study of the current state and the future fate of glaciers in British Columbia and Alberta. Glaciers cover three per cent of our province’s land mass. Between 1985 and 1999 the annual amount of water lost from

melting glaciers in B.C. was 22 cubic kilometres. The largest glacier entirely in B.C. is the Klinaklini Glacier with an area of 470 square kilometres. This rapid meltwater loss has huge implications for BC Hydro given that close to 90 per cent of B.C.’s energy is hydroelectric with melting snow and ice playing a sigMargaret nificant role. “Glaciers are EVANS sensitive indicators of climate, but they are also among western Canada’s most important freshwater resources,” said Dr. Brian Menounos, a UNBC Geography professor who has been leading the research program. “This project is allowing us to calculate the number and total area of glaciers

in B.C. and Alberta. Even more importantly, we are able to assess – for the first time – how quickly these glaciers are melting in the current climate.” The focus of the study has been on the Lloyd George Icefield west of Fort Nelson, Castle Creek Glacier near McBride, Klinaklini and Tiedemann glaciers in the Coast Mountains, and glaciers in the Columbia River Basin. The research has been underway for several years and, at each glacial site, meteorological measurements such as air temperature, wind speed, precipitation, and humidity have been taken to understand what controls these glaciers and contributes to their melt. They are also measuring thickness, extent, volume and movement. At Castle Creek Glacier, significant research has focused on the ice sheet’s retreat and the

ridges of rock and earth, called moraines, left behind. They are like tree rings and extend 750 metres into the valley from the glacier’s edge, giving a geological history of its annual demise over the past half century. Alberta has 800 glaciers and one of the most visited is the Athabasca Glacier that forms part of the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park. But a news release this week said that the glacier is melting at an astonishing rate of five metres a year. In the past twenty years, it has shrunk from 325 square kilometres to 222 square kilometres. And the melting track record repeats itself throughout the world’s 200,000 glaciers. All this rapid melting of B.C.’s glaciers and elsewhere has managed to pour its way onto the pages of this month’s U.S. National Climate Assessment.

The red flags of global warming triggering the melt will wash up on our feet as sea levels rise, ocean circulation patterns change further changing climate, fisheries numbers decline or shift migration patterns, and hydropower production becomes compromised or ceases altogether when rain can’t replace the volume of annual spring meltwater with huge implications on water supply and agriculture. Menounos predicts that even a 40 cm rise in sea level will cause flooding that could affect 100 million people. Murmurs among scientists are that, with the rapid thawing of the world’s icy regions, glaciers are likely at a tipping point, a point of no return whereby the rapid melting accelerates rapid melting until they are gone.

Don’t leave litter at our ‘gem of a lake’ I’ve never written a letter to the editor before, but this situation really got me fired up: To the users of the Main Beach Gazebo at Cultus Lake Park May 27th 2014: We have a saying out here, ‘You pack it in, you pack it out.’ I’m not sure where you are from, or how you treat your own home, but this isn’t how we do things around here. Cultus Lake, British Columbia is a gem of a lake that most of us out here in the Fraser Valley appreciate and value. The busy summer season is just around the corner and I would love to see the lake, in all her glory, ready for tourists and locals to enjoy to the fullest. It seems that you may not have realized there were ample garbage cans and recycling areas around, because your garbage was left out to blow around the beach on this windy afternoon. My visit lasted at the park for nearly an hour, and many passersby seemed to turn a blind eye to the mess that was all but a few metres away. No one seemed fazed by this mess.

Not to worry though, my friend and I cleaned up your half a dozen empty hot-dog bags, your bun bags, your cans and your bottles. All of which were located within a metre or two of the park’s provided trash receptacle. You’re welcome! To those of you who care about the beauty of our home, our province and our planet I urge you to speak up and voice your opinion when you see something like this happening. To those of you who are ignorant and clueless to respecting the environment and your neighbours, either take this as a lesson and

change your ways, or don’t bother coming out to mess up our parks again. You are not welcome when this is how you leave your borrowed site. I had a lot of anger inside, cleaning up your mess. I was also really sad to know that some people think this is ok. But we cleaned it, all your mess, in an attempt to show some compassion to the other park users and residents of Cultus Lake. Have some respect. Set examples. And if you pack it in, then pack it out! C. Myers

Education system is a mess I opened my copy of The Progress and it seemed like the whole first 10 pages were all about how things aren’t going right in our schools, from the BCTF striking, to whether there should be less funding for private schools and more for public ones, and whether schools should instate a history course about the history of residential schools. How’s about a modest proposal? If we have these many problems, then the system has failed. First of all, from what I remember in school, about a third of the teachers actually care about the students, the rest think they deserved more money, and couldn’t give a hoot whether a student was struggling. Sometimes I wonder if that “More than 30 students” in a

class thing was an excuse to strike just for time off. As if these teachers don’t get enough vacation time (You know, stat days, spring break, Christmas break, and oh yeah, the whole summer.) Why not just give them the whole year off? They might lose all the stress that caused them to strike in the first place and maybe they’ll be so happy when they get back. The kids get more free time to do things that interest them. You know, playing grand theft auto, drinking to excess and such. Maybe if we’re lucky, some of them might get a job. I hear drug dealing has a pretty good market these days. Second, private school funding versus public school funding? Private schools charge an arm and a leg for their students (I spent six years in

private school from kindergarten to 5th grade) and it cost my parents quite a bit to have me there. Besides, most private schools start up to educate children about religion and how to hate homosexual people. And since that’s wrong in the eyes of about everyone in Chilliwack except that one woman who said something about praying the gay away, maybe cutting off funding to private schools and giving all the money to public schools is a good idea, right? Finally, this whole deal with residential schools. Let me get this straight. The government apologized, shut the residential schools down, and gave bales of cash to the First Nations people affected by that stain on Canadian history... and you still say it’s not enough? Now a mandatory class on the

history of the residential school system? What next, a movie called “12 years a residential school student” as mandatory viewing for every white student in Canada? Enough already! We get it. The white people were the evil, bad guys who hated people of different race back then. The First Nations people were the victims. We were Ursula and they were Ariel. We don’t need to hear it again. Particularly since the current generation in government shut those schools down, and put the fossils who built them into their retirement homes, and then into their graves. If this is what the school system has been reduced to, I say scrap the whole system. Phil Mante

The call from the social worker came without warning: “Your grandchild needs to either live with you or we’ll have to find a foster home.” “When?” The answer was, “Now.” In our mid-60s, questions swirled in our heads: “Do we have the energy to do this every day? Financially, what will this mean now and in the future? What help can we get to support our grandchild with all this change and trauma? Should we be considering custody and guardianship, perhaps adoption?” All went unanswered. Thankfully, the social worker steered us to the Relatives Raising Relatives support group run by Chilliwack Community Services. What a life saver! We found a place where people understood what we were going through. We learned grandparents raising grandchildren is the fastest-growing family dynamic in Canada. We learned we are not alone.

Premier Christy Clark and NDP leader John Horgan joined forces Wednesday to mark the 100th anniversary of the Komagata Maru incident, when a ship carrying 376 Indian immigrants was turned away from Vancouver harbour. Members of the Khalsa Diwan Societies of Vancouver and Nanaimo and descendants of passengers aboard the Komagata Maru, a Japanese steamship carrying mostly Sikh veterans of the British armed forces to B.C. in 1914. Clark called the incident “a stain on the history of Canada” that reflected the racist attitudes of the time. Federal and provincial officials and courts took the position that Indian immigrants were not culturally compatible with Canadian society. The legislature unanimously endorsed a formal apology for the incident in 2008. ~ Black Press

The B.C. government has selected Carol Bellringer as its next auditor general, appointing her to an eight-year term. Bellringer served as Manitoba’s auditor general from 1992 to 1996 and from 2006 to March 2014. She replaces acting auditor-general Russ Jones, who has served in the role since the departure of John Doyle in 2013. Jones is to remain in the B.C. office as an assistant auditor-general. Doyle returned to his native Australia after shaking up the B.C. legislature’s internal finances, pushing for greater disclosure of MLA and legislature expenses. ~ Black Press

Google photographer Frank Engel chats with Jayda Smith, sales and marketing manager for Anita’s Organic Mill, during a photo shoot for the new Google Business View program. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Exploring Chilliwack businesses a new way Katie Bartel The Progress Imagine walking into a store without physically walking in. Sound confusing? Not at all, says Chilliwack photographer Frank Engel. Engel, owner of EdgeCreation, a local marketing business, is a “trusted” Google photographer. It’s his job to make it possible. Hired earlier this year by the online powerhouse for its new Business View application, Engel has been showing residents a new way of visiting their local shops – with online, interactive panoramas. Basically, he’s bringing Google Street View inside. “If you’ve ever seen the [online] virtual tours realtors use to sell and market their houses, this is similar,” says Engel.

Business View is a new Google app that’s an extension of Street View, showcasing the interiors of businesses with a full, 360 degree panoramic image. All customers have to do is locate the participating business on Google Maps, click the thumbnail picture, and voila, they’re inside. It’s an open door into the business, says Engel. It’s an interactive tool for potential customers to “walk through” a business, see the product, get a feel for what the store has to offer, before making the commitment to physically go to the store. At all hours. Over a two-hour period, Engel takes several still shots around a business making sure to get ever y angle imaginable, even some areas that others might have overlooked. Then, using the

same technology used for Google Maps, he “stitches” the photos together to create a seamless panoramic image in which people can move from left to right, up and down, and zoom in and out with a click of their mouse. Engel’s background was perfect for the position. Formerly of Berlin, Germany, Engel holds a business management and marketing degree and has more than 15 years of marketing and sales experience, working for such heavy hitters as Canon, Volkswagen, Ironman, Cannondale and Sugoi. And he has a passion for photography that likely stems from his father’s livelihood as a photojournalist. As a young boy, Engel held on to his father’s every word when it came to photography. “I’m fascinated by how emotions and moments are captured

in photos,” says Engel, who used to work part-time shooting sports for a German magazine. When Engel and his wife moved to Canada five years ago, and subsequently started having a family, he decided to branch out on his own with EdgeCreation as a way of working a job he loves, while still having time at home with his three young children, all under the age of five. Becoming a Google photographer was serendipitous. “I was in the right place at the right time,” he smiles. Googling various photography related searches, Engel landed on Google’s employment website. It was the perfect fit, he says. He was already doing most of the job requirements for his own business, but now he’d have the Google brand behind his name.

“Google is quality; it’s one of the strongest brands out there,” he says. For Jayda Smith, sales and marketing manager at Anita’s Organic Mill, it was a no brainer to link up with Business View. Even though Anita’s has been operating in Chilliwack for almost 25 years, many in the community still don’t know all that it has to offer. “It’s unreal,” she says. “Customers can walk through our entire store and see everything, every product we have, clear and crisp, before actually coming here. It’s giving our customers the feeling they’ve already been to our store before even getting here.” For more information on Business View, visit the website http://www.google.ca/maps/ about/partners/businessview/

headroom and some room to stretch out either piloting or co-piloting the Micra. Under hard acceleration, primarily from the 4-speed automatic, the Micra is quite vocal. You can really hear the engine noise intrude the cabin. It’s not a performance machine like the Nissan GT-R, where you want to hear as much ruckus as you can. However, when cruising at highway speeds – without the lead foot acceleration – my driving partner and I noticed how quiet the cabin is. Wind noise is kept at bay and it’s serene. Furthermore, it was an incredibly blustery day when we took these pint-sized four-doors out. Needless to say, you could feel the swagger of the car at highway speeds. But in its defense, larger vehicles felt the wrath of Mother Nature’s blow, too.

SERIOUS PROTECTION

DOES YOUR BOX LOOK LIKE THIS?

While very affordable, the Micra isn’t “cheap” in execution. Even the knobs on the roll down windows have a soft touch to them. And there are metallic accents to break up the otherwise bland black interior. I certainly wasn’t disappointed when captaining the Micra. Even though that might sound like a backhanded compliment, it’s not. As far as small cars go, it’s functional, funky and has great value. Whether you’re looking for a vehicle that gets you from point A to B – minus all the options – or said vehicle with a few extras, the 2015 Micra might be the car for you. Summed up, the Micra is affordable transportation with amiable drivability, an easy-on-the eyes interior and overall a bubbly personality. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Question of the Week: Alexandra Straub tests the back-to-basics 2015 Nissan Micra, with a starting sticker price under $10,000. Seems like a good second car option for many families; would you consider it as a possible first car? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer…

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!

Safety Tip: It’s Bike to Work Week in B.C. and more and more people are taking up cycling as a commuting option. It’s important for cyclists to pay attention to vehicles turning at intersections. As a driver, before you or one of your passengers open a vehicle door, always check for oncoming cyclists.

Quality and cost conscious classic car restoration is the key Our classic and collector car expert continues today with the second part of his four-part series on the restoration of public relations executive Laura Ballance’s rare 1967 Ford Mustang T5 by 360 Fabrication in Abbotsford. By Nigel Matthews

The restoration business has changed a great deal – in the past, most auto body repair shops would only take on such work when their collision work dried up. Now it’s very specialist work and I’m often asked if I could recommend a restoration shop. To be honest with you, I would be hard pressed to

But I have no hesitation in saying that I doubt there is one in the entire country that restores and builds as many custom cars as 360 Fabrication, in Abbotsford. They control the costs and track the daily progress by using a number of management systems and a Gantt chart. The secret to controlling the work is to perform all of the tasks in-house with perhaps the exception of chrome plating. During my time in the trade, costs kept mounting up and either the customer or the technician, who worked on a flat rate (piecework) basis, was short changed resulting

fillers and the waterborne color coats with a clear coat finish. These products are far superior to anything that came off the production line during the ‘60s. Rick Francoeur and his team at 360 always allow the customer to be in control and understand customer needs and expectations, even down to the smallest sentimental detail. However, sometimes they have to advise the client for their own benefit, sometimes financial, safety related or future re-sale value. Laura wanted the Mustang refinished it its metallic blue, all the rage during the ‘60s and the car she remembers. But if the car is to retain its value and to represent how it came off the production line as a rare T5, it had to be painted its original Ford Paint Code Z, an interesting colour called Sauterne Gold Irid. This colour combined with a black interior and vinyl roof will make the car a real eye catcher. Next week we will look into the mechanical component restoration and exterior trim replacement.

in ill feelings between the shop owner, his staff and the customer mainly caused by the lack of communication and too many assumptions! Laura Ballance’s original plan was to have a sympathetic restoration performed, replacing only what was necessary. But cars are no different from houses, boats and planes, so when the Mustang was disassembled and stripped they discovered that probably the only thing holding the car together was Laura’s father’s DIY welding! The Mustang is a relatively easy car to restore in terms of obtaining new parts. In this case, by the time the air chisel and plasma cutter was put away the only major sheet metal components left was the roof, “A” pillars, rockerpanels, bulkhead and the two front frame rails and the rear section of the floor. I have heard the expression “better than new” a few times over the years and have often wondered how can it be better than new? But it can. Today’s restorations have improved with the help of new technology such as compression fit welding equipment, seam sealers and paint products including epoxy primers, spray on polyester

Drivers feel gouged at the pumps, but not enough to stay home would take the wheel: “My husband has got a heavy foot. I would still go but my driving would be at the speed limit. I might get better gas mileage if I go slower and not brake as much.” Murray, in Vancouver, has

Two thirds of BC residents say gas price increases have caused hardship in their household, according to a new Black Press/Insights West poll. And 55 percent of those polled say they now drive less than usual due to high gas prices. Gas taxes are too high say 85 percent and 77 percent claim they are unfair for 77. A whopping 91 percent assert drivers are gouged at the pump before long weekends. Those comments were the results of a scientifically conducted poll but it remarkably reflects many sentiments expressed in response to our unscientific Question of the Week, which we posed before the long weekend. We asked if high gas prices would stall planned driving vacation plans and a massive 560 of you were moved to answer online. Specifically, we asked “Would a 10 cents per litre increase in the price of gas at the pump cause you to cancel a driving vacation?” A categorical ‘no’ was the response from 131 readers, a similar number said ‘yes’ but most wavered, saying the increase would have to be more substantial or they might consider shortening their route or holiday’s duration. Shawn, of Maple Ridge, set the tone for those undeterred by the assault on their wallet: “Money isn’t the main focus when it is a welldeserved vacation.” Kay, of Coquitlam, warned: “I would not cancel . . . however I may change plans and go to the USA instead of Canada.” Renay, of Richmond, said: “I would still take the vacation and just have to re-adjust the budget to include the increase.” Alyssa, from Mission, remarked: “I have two young children and my husband and I are all about making wonderful memories for them. It would also be hard to tell a child that a vacation away has been cancelled due to the cost of gas.” Raylene, of West Kelowna,

some good advice: “I would minimize fuel consumption by keeping the car maintained, keep tire pressure at the optimum level, pack all luggage inside the car to reduce air drag, and not drive aggressively. The time to scrimp is

during day-to-day use: don’t drive when you could walk or cycle.” Debbie, in Abbotsford, claimed: “It’s cheaper now to fly to Vegas or California, than to drive.” BC tourism’s loss is the United

States’ gain; with many saying cheaper gas in down south made it a more economical drive vacation destination, even with the current inferior exchange rate. Sandi, of Vancouver, said: “We cancelled our Christmas trip

and will not be travelling this summer. . . . groceries are my first priority.” Chris, in Aldergrove, stood alone with his comment: “I think we have some of the lowest gas prices in the world.”

Steve, of Port Alberni, pulled out his calculator: “A 1,000km trip uses less than 100 litres (with an increase of 10 cents per litre) that’s $10 more. I would not tell my family we are cancelling for that amount!”

Camping season is almost upon us and it will soon be time to take that trailer out for some fun times. But is it fun for the driver? – Towing a trailer may be one of the most stressful driving situations for many truck owners. For one thing, it is not easy to manouevre around corners and change lanes with that extra length behind your truck. Backing up also can be challenging and towing up a steep hill can be tough on your truck. Whether you tow a boat, car, snowmobiles, or motorcycles, custom truck accessories can make towing less nervewracking. Don’t Tow Too Much Weight Pulling too much weight can be very dangerous. Check your owner’s manual to find your vehicle’s towing capacity, including the maximum gross trailer weight and tongue weight it can handle. Tongue weight is the downward force exerted on the hitch ball by the trailer coupler. In most cases, it is about 10 to 15 percent of gross trailer weight. Tongue weight of up to 300 pounds can be measured on a household scale by resting the trailer coupler on the scale and placing the scale on a box so that the coupler is at its normal towing height. The trailer must be fully loaded and level. Use the Right Hitch and Other Equipment Just as each vehicle has a maximum towing capacity so too does each trailer hitch, hitch ball, ball mount and safety chain. To tow safely, you need to make sure every component you use is ready to handle the weight of your fully loaded trailer. Remember, your towing capacity is equal to the capacity of the weakest link in the system. Choosing a Trailer Hitch All trailer hitches feature a class rating, as well as a weight rating, so be sure the

www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1

hitch can accommodate the loaded trailer. For instance, Reese Class 2 ($159) hitches have a maximum rated capacity of 350 pounds tongue weight and 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight. Class IV ($175) receiver-style hitches have a maximum capacity of 1,200 pounds tongue weight and 12,000 pounds gross trailer weight. If you need more towing capacity than the traditional receiver-style weight distributing hitch, then you need to step up to a fifth-wheel or gooseneck hitch. Prices start at $650. Choosing A Hitch Ball If you have a drawbar style hitch, the hitch ball usually is built right in. But if you have a receiver-style hitch, you’ll need to choose your own hitch ball. Like vehicles and trailer hitches, hitch balls also are assigned a maximum tongue weight and gross trailer weight rating. Hitch balls are made from a variety of materials, and some are available in a choice of finishes, including chrome. They cost is $12 to $14. The hitch ball diameter must be the same diameter as the trailer coupler (1 7/8 inches, 2 inches or 2 5/16 inches). The shank diameter of the hitch ball should be the same as the hole diameter in the ball mount. The shank length should be long enough to allow at least two threads to be visible when the hitch ball is installed and the nut completely tightened. Load Trailer Properly Rule of thumb is roughly two-thirds (60 to 66 percent) of the gross load weight should be positioned toward the front half of the trailer. Place large or heavy objects on the trailer first. Tie these objects down securely and from several angles to ensure they do not shift. Pack remaining items in a manner that maintains balance of the trailer. Once the trailer is loaded, double-check the positioning and stability of the cargo. Better safe than sorry. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

UFV challenging hoops re-alignment Reading R di the h sandd o

Dan Kinvig, Black Press

The University of the Fraser Valley is launching a challenge of the Canada West Universities Athletic Association’s controversial basketball division realignment. Vice-president of students Jody Gordon – who oversees the Cascades athletic department – confirmed to The Abbotsford News last week that the university has determined a course of action. But she declined to expand further on the details, including which governing body UFV is appealing to, because they are “not permitted to speak publicly about it.” UFV was spurred to action after recently learning that Canada West plans to extend its unbalanced basketball divisional format from one season to two. The radical realignment, initially approved at Canada West’s 2013 annual general meeting, is set to take effect for the coming 2014-15 season. The conference’s basketball teams will be grouped in two divisions, one with 11 teams and one with six, which won’t interlock until the post-season. UFV is in the Explorer division with five other relative newcomers to the league – Thompson Rivers, MacEwan University, Mount Royal, University of Northern B.C. and UBC-Okanagan. The Pioneer Division includes Canada West veterans Alberta, Brandon, Calgar y, Lethbridge, Manitoba, Regina, Saskatchewan, Trinity Western, UBC, Victoria and Winnipeg. UFV’s concern is that the divisions appear tiered, with traditional powerhouses on one side and newcomers on the other. Additionally, the convoluted 10-team playoff format appears advantageous to the larg-

er division, while limiting post-season access to the smaller group. UFV had originally hoped to endure the new divisional structure for one season and work to get something more equitable in place for 201516. But in an interview with The News last week, Gordon said that a draft of the 2014-15 Canada West basketball schedules circulated to institutions April 30 contained a note indicating that this was Year one of a two-year scheduling model. UFV hosted the 2014 Canada West AGM May 6-8 at Harrison, but scheduling was not on the agenda. “Learning that the intent here is that this (alignment) will carry on for another year is difficult for us to accept,” said Gordon. “(The AGM) was confirmation for us that there is no attempt to move away from how they’ve set this particular schedule up. Our fear is that this will not only continue in basketball, but we’ll be seeing it in other

sports down the road as well.” Next season, seven of the 11 Pioneer teams (64 per cent) will qualify for the post-season, along with just three of six Explorer teams (50 per cent). The Explorer teams will be seeded second, fifth and eighth out of 10, regardless of their records or national ranking. The only way for an Explorer team to earn the No. 1 seed would be to win the Canada West title and then finish atop the division the following season. In the event of an Explorer team winning the conference, the second-place Explorer team’s playoff seeding the following year would also improve from No. 5 to No. 4, and a fourth squad from the smaller division would qualify as the No. 10 seed, replacing the seventh Pioneer team. But winning the Canada West championship would be a tall order for the Explorers, beginning with the simple math that they’ve got just a 3-in-10

shot at it currently. Additionally, none of the six programs have ever won the conference title in men’s or women’s basketball, though UFV has come close in recent years. The Cascade women, in their fourth straight trip to the Canada West Final Four, took silver this past season, falling to the Saskatchewan Huskies in the final – though they did bounce back to beat the Huskies in the bronze medal game at nationals. The UFV men have been to three straight conference Final Fours, coming second in 2012. As to the potential impact of the realignment, Gordon alluded to an article in the Kamloops This Week newspaper in March covering departures from the Thompson Rivers men’s basketball team. Two players – Ta’Quan Zimmerman and Troy Grant – said that weakened conference competition was among their reasons for leaving. “Given the story out of Kamloops, where you’ve had players very strongly indicate that they don’t want to play in what they see as a second-tier league, we have the same concerns – that this is going to impact on our students’ experience, on recruitment, and on retention,” Gordon said. UFV will not be seeking formal support from other Canada West programs in its appeal. “We need to focus on what’s important to us,” Gordon said. “If other schools within the Explorer want to somehow join in whatever that challenge is, we obviously wouldn’t say no to it. But right now, it’s focused on UFV.” The News left messages for Canada West president Ian Reade, the athletic director at the University of Alberta, but did not hear back by press deadline.

Sand traps vary from course to course, from how deep their traps are to different types of sand, writes Jennifer Greggain In today’s column, Chilliwack Golf Academy instructor Jennifer Greggain talks about one of the most diffficult icult things a golfer has to do, navigating out of sand traps. Many golfers realize the importance of reading the greens when putting, or breaking down the difference between different types of lies on the golf course. What many players forget to do is read the difference between different types of lies in a sand trap, as this will have a huge impact on how the ball will w ill react. Sand traps vary from golf course to golf course, from how deep their traps are, to different types of sand, or even angled lies. It is very important to understand how the golf ball will naturally react to these differing conditions. One of the first things a golfer needs to do when facing a bunker shot is to evaluate the conditions. From the time you take your first step in the sand, you should be taking in valuable information. As you make your way to yyour our ball, you can feel the sand as best you can with yyour our feet. You will often see players ‘dig’ into their stance in the sand trap. This allows for more stability during the shot, but also helps the player estimate how hard or soft the sand is. You can expect the golf ball to react very differently depending on the sand itself. If you have dry, fluffy sand, the ball will naturally come out a bit higher and softer, with w ith very little roll. When the sand is wet and hard, the ball will w ill want to come out of the trap lower and will roll out more. Be sure to allow for these

different reactions when setting up for the shot. For drier sand, it mightt take a little more effort forr the ball to travel the intended distance. You can also adjustt for this by setting up less open with your stance and club face. For the hard, wet sand, itt will take less effort to get the ball moving. Try setting up more open with your stance and club face. Furthermore, be sure to allow for uphill or downhill lies in a sand trap. For example, if you are facing an uphill lie, the ball will naturally come out of the trap higher and softer. If you have a downhill lie, the ball will come out lower and thus expect more roll. In general, adjust yourr stance by making your shoulders and body ‘parallel’ to the ground. No matter what your lie in the sand trap, it is always important to remain assertive through the shot. Confidence plays a huge roll in bunkers, and lack of confidence remains the number one mistake I see amateurs make in the sand. So if you have an especiallyy difficult lie that you are nott comfortable with, rememberr to remain assertive and confident no matter what! Jennifer teaches golf to adults and juniors at the Chilliwack Golf Academy. She played professionally on tourr for over 10 years, includingg 2 years on the LPGA. She was also named the 2010 CN N Canadian Women’s Tour Low Teaching Pro of the Year, and d is now the lead instructor of the Sardis Golf Academy.

old division, separated by three minutes and 17 seconds. Their race started with a 75 metre swim, followed by a five kilometre bike ride and one kilometre run. The youngest local, Dane Suderman, finished 20th in the 6-7 year old division with a time of 18:10. His race started with a 50 metre swim, followed by a 1.5 kilometre bike ride and 500 metre run.

Johnson speedy in sprint Three locals tried their luck in the Subaru Shawnigan Lake Triathlon, an event held last Sunday. Shawinigan Lake is near Victoria, and this was one of the events on the Subaru Western Triathlon Series.

Curling Was First In Canada the first sporting club, founded in 1807, was the Montreal Curling Club. In 1865 curling became one of the select group of sports to enter international competition. Golf’s initial failure and curling’s success serve to demonstrate the relationship between sport and society.

First Nations Were First Canadian and international sport is indebted to Aboriginal culture for the Toboggan, Snowshoe, Lacrosse and Canoe and Kayak.

HENDRIX

Nicolaas Hubertus October 31, 1934 – May 24, 2014 It is with deep sadness that we announce the loss of Nicolaas (Nick) Hubertus Hendrix who passed away peacefully in his 79th year amongst his loving family on Saturday, May 24th, 2014 in Port Moody, BC. Nick is survived by his wife of 54 years Martha and his four daughters Yolanda (David), Fiona (John), Cynthia (Ron), Melva (Ray). Nick was born in Urmond, Holland and immigrated to Canada in 1957 when he fell in love with its beauty and opportunities. On a return visit to Holland he met Martha, the love of his life and in 1960 they wed and settled in Prince George. In 1967 they moved to Chilliwack, which they have faithfully called home for the past 47 years. Nick was well known in Chilliwack through his 35 years as a realtor, retiring from Canada Permanent Trust in 1991. He was one of the top realtors in Chilliwack for many years, winning numerous awards locally and across Canada, and is a past-president of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board. Over the years Nick was an avid antique collector, seeking many treasures at local auctions and garage sales. He especially loved collecting and repairing clocks. Throughout his retirement, he could be seen on a regular basis enjoying a cup of coffee along with his many friends at the local McDonalds. Nick’s other great passion was travelling and exploring the many wonders of the world with his lovely wife Martha by his side. But most of all he cherished every moment he could spend with his five grandchildren, Payton, Maranda, Taylor, Joshua, and Sean. Nick was a loving devoted husband, a wonderful father and an adoring Opa. He is one of five brothers and one sister and is uncle to many nieces and nephews in Holland whom he loved dearly. He will forever remain in our hearts and in our memories. A special thank you to Crossroads Hospice in Port Moody for their exceptional care and immense support. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Crossroads Hospice Society, or BC Arthritis Society. Service and reception to be held Monday, June 2, 2014, 11:00am, St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Parish, 8909 Mary Street, Chilliwack. 05/14W_OH30
