Teachers call report card plan ‘unethical’

Q G ARDEN D ELIGHTS

Katie Bartel The Progress

Final grades for students in grades 10 and 11 will be issued, but they won’t be accurate, say Chilliwack teachers. Last Friday the Labour Relations Board ruled that marks for grades 10 and 11 courses would be determined based on the last report cards issued. That means only the first half of the course will count. According to the LRB ruling, school principals will determine final marks based on what’s been reported to the BCeSIS system, and teachers are to review those marks and make changes they deem necessary. “Teachers know their students, they know the work students were doing up until strike action, so they have an opportunity to review and change the mark or confirm and keep it the same,” said Chilliwack school district superintendent Evelyn Novak. Several Chilliwack teachers, however, are calling the ruling not only offensive, but unethical. Most teachers don’t use BCeSIS other than to record marks for end of term and final report cards. Grade books are still in the schools, and the only way to access them is to cross picket lines. “So unless I’ve memorized 120 Term 4 marks, I have no way to know what to change their marks to,” said Joe Massie, a teacher at Sardis secondary. “It’s a real ethical dilemma for us. Most of us are saying we’re not going to do it, we’re not going to say these marks are right or wrong. “A report card is a legal document … it’s unethical to assign inaccurate grades.” That means that a student who may have been failing in the first half, but worked hard to improve Continued: LRB/ p8

Support workers collateral damage in strike Katie Bartel The Progress

Chilliwack teachers aren’t the only ones suffering lost wages during the current teacher strike. School support staff are as well. Chilliwack CUPE 411 president Rod Isaac is concerned his members are being left out of the equation, even though, they too are missing work and wages as a result of not crossing picket lines. After hearing news reports of food banks being set up for teachers and rumors of corporations, like Telus giving B.C. teachers a credit on their phone bill, and Bridal Falls Waterpark offer-

ing free admission to teachers through the strike, Isaac felt it was time the public realized his membership is suffering as well. “We are certainly in favour of helping out those that need help at this time, however, we feel it is very important for the public to realize that CUPE school support staff across the province is being very severely impacted by this job action as well,” said Isaac. “Yes, we have a tentative agreement with BCPSEA, and part of that agreement is that the wages that we lose will be recouped, but what most people don’t seem to realize is that we are not receiving any pay at this time either.”

Lost wages for CUPE members will be recouped when the tentative agreement is fully accepted. “This will not be until sometime in the fall,” said Isaac. Several local 411 members are 10-month employees. “We have many, many, many members that make far less than even the lowest paid teacher in the BCTF,” said Isaac. “This situation has created a major hardship for them as well. “To be perfectly clear, we are not asking for handouts, nor are we trying to take away from the concern for the teachers, we simply feel that it is important for the public to be clear about the situa-

tion as it impacts the rest of us.” More than 27,000 educational support workers are represented by the Canadian Union for Public Employers, including educational assistants, bus drivers, secretaries, IT staff, First Nations support workers, trades and maintenance workers. The B.C. government reached a tentative deal with the union representing school support staff on June 8 after five days of negotiations.

Milk collection from controversial dairy farm resumes The BC Milk Marketing Board is again accepting milk from Chilliwack Cattle Sales, saying “animal welfare issues are being appropriately addressed.” It had suspended delivery from the farm last week Monday after dairy giant Saputo refused to accept milk from the farm following the release of an undercover video showing graphic images of animal abuse. Thousands of litres of milk each day were being shipped to a plant in the United States where it was destroyed.

Industry,” the dairy association said in its statement. “We recognize that public trust in the B.C. dairy industry has been shaken. But we strongly feel that our industry is one that is worth believing in. The community of B.C. dairy farmers have great concern around this issue. Quick action is on the way.” The milk marketing board, meanwhile, has taken the following steps: • The board will oversee an expert veterinary team to provide continued direction for dairy animal wel-

The eight farm workers shown in the video beating dairy cows with sticks, chains and rakes were fired, and the BC SPCA is recommending criminal charges. Milk pick-up from the farm was suspended for one day last week as the BC Marketing Board investigated conditions on the farm. Satisfied that changes had been made, the board lifted that ban, only to reinstate it just days later after Saputo said it would not accept milk from the farm. “The past few weeks have been a dark time for the BC Dairy

In a statement released late Friday, BC Dairy Association said that was no longer necessary. “As a result of industry cooperation and collective action, the industry is now able to begin accepting milk from the farm in question, while imposing rigourous monitoring and testing measures to ensure that the animals in question are protected,” it said. Release of the video unleashed a nationwide fury and calls for the boycott of any business tied to the farm.

fare practices at Chilliwack Cattle Sales. • The board will include regulatory changes in board policies for mandatory compliance with the Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Dairy Cattle for all B.C. producers. • The board has invited key dairy industry stakeholders to participate in a “next steps” meeting, with the ultimate objective being a clear and accountable plan for dairy animal welfare.

Pilot project evolves into multi-year agreement No K-to-9 Jennifer Feinberg

report cards

Imagine a one-stop shop that allows consultation with local First Nations through a single point of contact. A new agreement announced in Chilliwack last week is geared to making consultation and engagement with 14 Sto:lo First Nations more streamlined when it comes to land and resource decisionmaking in the Fraser Valley. The Sto:lo Strategic Engagement Agreement (SEA) builds on a successful 24-month pilot project to improve relationships between the parties, in part by cutting down the steps required to consult. The B.C. government chipped in $2.1 million for the three-year agreement, which covers the breadth of Sto:lo territory in the Fraser Valley. It’s going to make a difference to the individual Sto:lo communities, as well. “Prior to the pilot project, many of the Sto:lo communities and offices would be flooded with referrals,” said Otis Jasper, chair of the Sto:lo First Nations SEA Board. “That created chaos since there was such an overwhelming number.” The SEA actually marks the first time that Sto:lo communities from both political organizations, Sto:lo Nation and Sto:lo Tribal Council, have worked together “as a collective” since about 2004, he noted. “It’s not without its challenges, but we all managed to be at the table for this, so it’s positive in that light as well,” Jasper said. Both local MLAs welcomed it. “This partnership is a way to move forward,” said Chilliwack MLA John Martin. There was solid support from B.C. for the SEA. “I firmly believe that working in partnership is the best way to ensure meaningful participation in resource management for First Nations,” said John Rustad, min-

ister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation. The pilot project started in 2012 and is the basis of the new SEA. It saw the establishment of People of the River Referrals Office and a central office at the Coqualeetza site that make up the “one-stop” approach to referrals. It takes up an entire floor of the Sto:lo Research and Resource Management Centre. “Our experience with the pilot showed that dialogue, ahead of any approval, was a much more efficient and effective way to engage compared to any last minute on-the-ground attempts. We now have our own bureaucracy, but in a good way.” It naturally speeds things up. “It helped us get more organized in terms of working with

industry so we could address any issues prior to problems arising,” Jasper said. “It will help avoid delays and work stoppages, and create an opportunity for us to get involved on a government-togovernment basis.” It marks the eighth such agreement to be inked with First Nations in B.C. “I think it will help us keep pace with industry, and put us on better footing with the province,” Jasper said. It ensures applications are referred to the “appropriate signatory First Nation” within timelines. The 14 Sto:lo groups involved included: Chawathil First Nation, Cheam First Nation, Leq’á:mel First Nation, Scowlitz First Nation, Shxw’ow’hamel First Nation,

Skawahlook First Nation, Sumas First Nation and the Ts’elxwéyeqw Tribe, which signed on behalf of the Aitchelitz Band, Shxwhá:y Village, Skowkale First Nation, Soowahlie First Nation, Squiala First Nation, Tzeachten First Nation and Yakweakwioose First Nation. Some are in the treaty process, while others are not. The local SEA marks a turning point in their relationship with B.C., Jasper noted. Aside from Sto:lo SEA board chair, Jasper is also a governance and negotiation specialist with Castlemain Group, which does the same type of work for other FN communities in B.C. “Since the late 1800s, the province has maintained a position of

With schools behind picket lines for a second week and little hope of a quick settlement, school districts are starting to notify parents that year-end report cards won’t be produced. Chilliwack school district superintendent Evelyn Novak said parents would be notified by letter this week that report cards would not be issued for students in grades kindergarten to 9. “We will not be sending formal year-end report cards for students this year because, due to the teacher strike action, we were unable to ensure all information was collected and could be provided for all students,” said Novak. To be consistent, the district chose not to produce report cards at all. The majority of students will be promoted to the next grade. “Where there are concerns around student placement, principals and vice principals will be connecting with parents and talking about setting up a meeting with their school-based team in the fall to ensure we have interventions and supports in place for the student to be successful,” said Novak. Surrey school district and New Westminster school district have issued similar statements. Chilliwack school district is, however, holding hope the summer school program will still be able to go ahead this year. Novak said a decision will be made by end of week. Education Minister Peter Fassbender has said the partial lockout imposed on teachers will be lifted after year-end administrative days so it does not interfere with summer school programs. But Novak said it’s dependent on BCTF’s next steps. ~with files from Tom Fletcher kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

New paper plant to bring jobs Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Constr uction is about to start on a paper manufacturing facility at Shxwhá:y Village near Wolfe Road called Whitefeather Tissue and Towel Plant. It’s a unique project that’s been years in the making. The local First Nation, formerly known as Skway First Nation, partnered with Unicell to build the 32,000 sq. ft. facility that will be known as Whitefeather. Eventually jumbo rolls of paper will be milled on-site into tissue paper and paper

towels. At the groundbreaking ceremony earlier this month Shxwhá:y Chief Tina Sam made a strong statement about what the economic development project means for the future. “Today we are looking at a clean start for Shxwhá:y Village,” she said in a release “Yes, some past council decisions have not been good for our lands, but we have made it our mandate to see clean, economically feasible development succeed on our lands—not just for the present day but for the next seven generations to come.” The project will see

Shxwhá:y provide the land and building to house the mill, while Unicell will procure the equipment, install, operate and manage the facility. The project will be jointly owned by Shxwhá:y Village and Unicell Holdings Inc., with a 51 per cent ownership by the First Nation. “We have been very interested in the idea of a clean, safe busi-

ness development plan, and we liked the Sharma family’s attitude towards indigenous people around the world,” said Murray Sam, CEO of Shxwhá:y Village. Whitefeather will be the first tissue mill in Canada for the Sharma family. The opportunity will bring local training as well as jobs. “While we are just

That’s something that’s been well documented and expressed to the federal government. “But here we are, years down the road, and we’re at a bit of a turning point. We are able to put these issues on the table. So it’s coming along, but it’s a long process.” So is an SEA on a similar level with treaty? “It’s not parallel to treaty, but it’s dealing with land and resource issues that would be also addressed to some degree in treaty.” The relationship between First Nations and local governments may be a future topic of discussion raised, as well as environmental issues. “Developing a pilot two years ago and now a full-scale SEA speaks to the commitment of our combined leadership as Sto:lo from our multiple tribes to work together with the province on matters that are of great importance to all of our communities,” said Jasper.

Sprinkler system snuffs out fire

A sprinkler system is being credited with dousing an apartment fire before it had a chance to spread to other units Monday evening. The fire occurred at around 7:30 p.m. in the 8900 block of School Street downtown.

When fire crews arrived, they could see smoke and flame coming from the third storey window of the four-storey complex. Firefighters from halls one and four were on scene within minutes. The fire was brought quickly under control with the aid

of the building sprinkler system. There was minimal damage to the unit. And the tenant, who was home at the time, was unharmed. The cause of the fire appears to be accidental, but remains under investigation. No firefighters were injured.

cipals in offices in many schools is absolutely ridiculous,” he said. “That maybe works in a board office for manufacturing widgets, but these aren’t widgets. “The disconnect is too complete.” Still, the LRB ruling is an essential ser vice designation; teachers are legally obligated to follow it. Chilliwack Teachers’ Association president Clint Johnston said that while the union is working alongside the school district, they are not doing so willingly. “To be forced, and let’s be clear, teachers are being forced by a legal order to participate in the creation of at best inaccurate at worst false grades is just repugnant to them,” said Johnston. “It’s an incredible insult to the professionalism and ethics of teachers. I think teachers, I think parents and students should be outraged. I think people should be questioning our school board trustees and our district on what the positive purpose is of creating these grades. How will this help students, parents, and other interested parties assess the learning. What is the rationale for creating these grades, which clearly can’t reflect learning.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Not all happy with happy hour Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government has begun allowing “happy hour” discounts for alcoholic drinks, imposing minimum drink prices that force some outlets to raise their prices. Effective this week, the minimum price for draft beer or cider in B.C. is 25 cents per fluid ounce, which puts a 12-ounce sleeve at $3, a 20-ounce pint at $5 and a 60-ounce jug at $15. Using a one-ounce minimum, the lowest permitted price for any alcoholic drink is $3. The release of the regulations Friday was greeted with protests from some pubs that were offering drink specials below that price. The regulations also give licensed restaurants the ability to serve drinks

without a food order, although their licence still requires them to offer a full food menu. The B.C. government’s liquor policy review also levels the field between pubs and restaurants by allowing families with children into pubs at mealtimes. The B.C. Restaurant and Foodservices Association reminded its members that the new rules also allow customers to carry a drink from a lounge to an adjoining restaurant. In a policy directive to industry associations, local governments and police agencies, the government’s Liquor Control and Licensing Branch says the lower price may be applied selectively for “ladies night” specials or “team night” for players in uniform. Minimum prices do not apply to catered events, or special occasion licences.

Heavy lifting ahead for Gateway

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

Much will be made of the federal government’s decision to give the Northern Gateway pipeline its approval. However, it is important to put last Tuesday’s decision in the proper perspective. The Joint Review Panel, which earlier gave Northern Gateway the green light, put 209 conditions on that approval — conditions which Enbridge, the proponent, has said it will fulfil. There probably isn’t anyone in B.C. who hasn’t heard an Enbridge ad about the 209 conditions. Then there’s the five provincial conditions that Premier Christy Clark laid down before last year’s provincial election. While they are general in nature, they constitute some stiff barriers. One of them, calling for the proponent to have agreements with First Nations, may prove impossible, unless there is a marked change on the part of many northern B.C. First Nations. Even if agreements with First Nations are reached, it is quite likely that there will still be some lawsuits over the pipeline. The Mackenzie Valley pipeline, proposed for the Northwest Territories in the 1970s, is a classic example of how lawsuits can effectively kill a resources project. By the time all lawsuits and other regulatory hurdles were dealt with, the project was no longer economic and it has never been built. At this juncture, it seems that is the most likely scenario for Enbridge’s proposal. Is there a need to move Canada’s resources to offshore customers? Yes, there is. Those resources include oil. But given the nature of bitumen, the product being shipped, and the hazards of navigation on B.C.’s north coast, there are many legitimate concerns about shipping this product, particularly from Kitimat, which is connected to the Pacific Ocean by a relatively narrow channel. It would make more sense to ship refined oil products, from proposed northern B.C. refineries in Kitimat and Prince Rupert, and that would meet at least some of the objections to Northern Gateway. Such projects would also create many more jobs in B.C., which means that this province would gain more benefits for the considerable risk it is being exposed to. The final decision on this project is a long ways off. ~ Black Press

B.C. V IEWS

A brief history of teacher demands in B.C. VICTORIA – A few things have changed since the last all-out teacher strike in B.C. That was just two years ago, when the B.C. Teachers’ Federation was coming off its second-ever voluntar y agreement with a 16% raise over five years and what the union termed an “enhanced” signing bonus of $4,000. Even with special teacher-only top-ups, BCTF members almost rejected the last of the government’s big-spending preOlympic labour deals signed in 2006. By 2012, outraged teachers were back on the legislature lawn, howling for another 16%, with backup vocals provided as usual by HEU, CUPE, BCGEU and other public sector unions that settled for less. Teachers had just sailed through a crippling global recession with a series of raises, but were oblivious to all

that. Last week the protest venue switched to Vancouver, where both the crowd and the demands looked a bit thinner. The signing bonus target is up to $5,000, but the raise is a mere 8% over five years (compounded, for those who passed math), Tom plus another huge FLETCHER basket of cash disguised as benefit improvements and so forth. Government negotiators put their total compensation demand at 14.5%. One obvious dodge: they want the bottom two steps of the teacher salary grid dropped. That’s simply a raise for entr y-level teachers. Admittedly those are rare creatures these days with

shrinking enrolment and ironclad seniority rules that allow retired teachers to monopolize substitute work. Something else that’s changed since 2012 is that the government has granted the BCTF’s wish to bargain directly with the province. The education ministry executed a takeover of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association after last year’s election, and installed veteran industrial union negotiator Peter Cameron. He’s backed up by long-time labour specialist Lee Doney, whose task is to keep the teacher deal within Treasury Board limits that have defined all other public sector union settlements. Doney made it clear last week that no mediator is going to come in and “split the baby” as long as the BCTF position is so far beyond the current compensa-

tion framework. Despite constant union complaints of low wages and deteriorating working conditions in B.C. schools, education grads remain lined up around the block hoping to get in. Why is that? For those who have been exposed to life outside school for a while, it’s fairly simple. The job market out here in the real world is tough. And here’s how the real world evaluates a teaching job. Start with 189 working days, each nine hours long as per the accepted definition, and the topheavy seniority list that places the average teacher salary at around $72,000 a year. That works out to $42.32 an hour, plus a suite of benefits that most private sector employees can only dream about, starting with three months of prime-time vacation. I am occasionally lectured by teachers that the job goes far

beyond five hours in the classroom and an additional four hours a day preparing and marking. They throw out different estimates, variously defined. Alas, it’s a salaried job, and we salaried employees in the real world don’t waste a lot of time counting hours. Here’s the work, here’s the deadline, here’s the pay. Take it or leave it. Consider another union demand that seems to be just another thinly disguised raise. The BCTF wants a large increase in preparation time for elementary school. There are no duties being added here. For this one item, government negotiators calculate the cost to taxpayers at $86.2 million every year by the fifth year of the BCTF proposal.

Class of 2014: ‘Make us proud’ Hey, CSS students and in particular our Grads. I am sorry that the year wrapped up the way that it did and more to the point am sad that I didn’t get to say goodbye in a more personal way. Had the year ended differently I would have told you all that I love

ya and that I am proud of what you have accomplished. I would have said that I will look forward to hearing about your exploits as the years go by and that I trust that you will take your place in making this world a better place. So, until I see you again; “Do all the good you can. By all the means

you can. In all the ways you can. In all the places you can. At all the times you can. To all the people you can. As long as ever you can.” (John Wesly). Be great and make us proud. Mr. A (Steve Anderson)

Longboarder feels discriminated against Just because long boarding is new, it does not mean we should discriminate against them. When the first people started snowboarding on Mount Baker, the mountain banned them because they scared the skiers and it seemed unsafe. Of course, eventually the resort had egg on its face and had to change its policy to stay in business when snowboarding became very popular.

Those who oppose long boarding may be just like those who were against snowboarding years ago. We should do everything we can to enable young people to have good, clean fun and to make use of the opportunities Chilliwack has to offer. Hangliding, river rafting and mountain biking can cause injuries, but some like to take more risk than others. I hope we will see a

day when long boarders can put up a red flag at the bottom of any hill to let people know they will be riding down the road just like divers put up a red flag in a lake when they are diving in an area. Those of us who live on hills should always be careful when pulling out of our driveways because it could be our children or grandchildren on a bicycle, motorcycle or longboard. The city has spent

hundreds of thousands of dollars on skateboard parks and all long boarders want is the freedom to use the roads just like a bicycle does. Instead of filing a complaint, I hope we can all work together to make Chilliwack known as the place where fun loving kids are encouraged to improve their skills in any healthy activity where people are looking out for each other.

Chilliwack Cattle Sales a ‘maelstrom in a milk can’ I began reading the Wednesday edition of The Progress front page story “Milk from Chilliwack Cattle Sales will likely be destroyed” with a sense of growing disbelief. Seriously, this story is being mil..., er,dragged out. Turning to page five to continue reading, I found it ironic that a “happy” story was printed opposite on page four. Apparently an obliging sturgeon took a hook through some part of its mouth, and then was battled to exhaustion over the course of the next hour

by two out-of-province fishermen for sport. Smiles and kudos all around! I’m sure the fish was not traumatized in any way, because this kind of animal abuse is legal, and popular. Seriously though, isn’t it time to put the story about Chilliwack Cattle Sales into perspective? The offending workers have been let go, and corrective action has been taken. I am sure that no one condones the actions of these eight employees, but dumping large quantities of milk is just one of the

Abuse needs attention

Re: Bryan Brandsma’s letter concerning animal abuse at the Chilliwack Cattle Farm. If he was to do some research he would find out that this is not an “isolated event.” The rest of his letter is too idiotic to reply to.

I was dismayed to read Bryan Brandsma’s letter around the animal cruelty at a local dairy farm. (Don’t ditch dairy, Progress June 18.) As part of the general public I would like to assure him I am not feeling manipulated or naive by the video released “Mercy for Animals Canada “showing the senseless abuse of animals. Any kind of abuse needs to be brought to our attention.

You mention you have seen firsthand how dairy farmers care deeply for their cows. I am sure this is true,but bad things can still happen. Highlighting these disgusting exceptions is one of the ways that bring about quality improvement. I hope these workers are charged and they receive the counselling they obviously need. Anne White

results of this extreme reaction. Those of us who have grown up on a farm, or worked on one, know that many animals need some physical motivation to do (or not do) specific things. This may involve pushing, pulling, and even a smack or two. Non-farmers, this may surprise you, but that’s a fact. Maybe before people judge the Kooyman family too harshly, they should put on some boots and visit a farm.

Lloyd Sandhoff may forget a thought midsentence, but he never forgets his pills. Three times a day, for a total of 24 pills to help alleviate the stresses of high blood pressure, heart congestion, circulatory issues, arthritis, and other agerelated ailments, the 90-year-old pops them like clockwork. It wasn’t always that way. The Chilliwack senior used to have “mounds” of forgotten pills piled on tables throughout his small room at Crystal Ridge Manor. Admittedly, he was a medical emergency waiting to happen. When Fraser Health approached him to be part of the automated medical dispensing unit pilot, it was as though God had spoken. “With this, I don’t forget because it tells me to take my pills,” he said. “It’s a godsend; you don’t see any pills lying around here any-

more.” The pilot program was started in Chilliwack in 2012 in recognition of the need for the aging community. It’s a first for the province. With it, seniors are given a Lifeline pill dispensing unit that is programmed to verbally tell them when to take their pills, and then, upon further prompting, dispense the proper dose in a small plastic container. If the alert is ignored, it will continue to alert clients every minute for 45 minutes, at which time a message will be sent to a call centre in Ontario, which will then alert the client’s first responder, whether that be a family member or home health nurse. The purpose of the unit is three-fold: to keep the senior population independent for as long as possible; to minimize pill-dosing errors; and to reduce costs on the medical system. “It’s been quite a wonderful piece of machinery for us,” said Chilliwack Home Health representative Chris Laslop. “In the past, we had to send home support workers into the home to dispense medications several times a day, which is quite costly on the medical system.” Now, with the unit, either a family member or home health nurse is able to reload the machine either weekly or bi-weekly. From June 2012 to September 2013, the program produced an approximate savings of over $200,000 on the medical system, and over 6,000 home support hours. Fraser Health has not yet tested whether it’s reduced emergency room visits or hospitalizations, “but I”m sure that’s something that would be affected also,” said Laslop. In total, 31 Chilliwack seniors have been connected with the unit, with 25 currently using it. Fraser Health is looking at rolling the program out to other communities in the province. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Midsummer colour

By adding some very special mid-season perennials, you can make an enormous difference to the whole look and feel of your summer garden. Because many other garden plants may be on their way out, these perennials will look good while tolerating the intense summer heat, drought and occasional heavy rainfalls. At the very top of my list of favourites are Brian the rudbeckias. MINTER T h e tender perennial varieties provide yeoman service at this time of year, especially the compact R. ‘Becky’ series, and the smaller flowered, low growing variety named after Dorothy’s dog in the Wizard of Oz, ‘Toto’. This is their time to shine. Perhaps one of the finest of all the rudbeckias is the truly hardy variety R. ‘Goldsturm’. Growing about two feet high with

Echinacea has exquisite flowers, says Brian Minter.

deep golden petals surrounding a dark brown button, ‘Goldsturm’ just keeps pouring out the colour well into October. Rudbeckia ‘Early Bird Gold’ is truly two weeks earlier for fast colour and the new dwarf Rudbeckia ‘Gold Star’ forms a low round ball of amazing colour. Echinacea has been more recently sold as a herb because of its healing properties, but it also has exquisite flowers. ‘Echinacea purpurea’ is sold as the herbal variety, but pink E. ‘Magnum’ and the white flowering ‘White

Swan’ are classy looking plants that add an unique quality to summer gardens. They last well, even tolerating some frost, and the spent blossoms make interesting dried flowers. There are all kinds of new colours, like ‘Tomato Soup’ and ‘Hot Coral Salsa’, and the new ‘PowWow Wildberry’ and ‘White Berry’ are so prolific and stunning - they are a continuous source of colour. The new E. ‘Cheyenne Spirit’ is a great plant, having lovely warm prairie colours. Continued: COLOUR/ p15

Home&Garden Minterâ€™s best picks for adding mid season colour In shady spots or in full sun, perhaps the most elegant of all the summer perennials are the Japanese anemones. In colours of white, pink or dusty rose, these plants are a definite hit at this time of year. The yellowcentered anemone blossoms always have a fresh look about them, and they combine well with so many other perennials or shrubs. The white varieties especially brighten up shady areas. I am particularly intrigued with

the new dwarf varieties, both the â€˜Ladyâ€™ series and â€˜Cinderellaâ€™ and â€˜Pocahontasâ€™. They are about half the size but are a powerhouse of colour all summer. For some early fall tones, add a bit of fire to your flower beds with crocosmias. For years they were called montbretia and sold as tiny bulbs, but today they are usually sold in â€˜bud and bloomâ€™ as perennials. Crocosmias need a somewhat sheltered spot and very well drained soil, but wow, do they ever add spice to our gardens

with their fire-orange freesia-type blossoms! Crocosmia â€˜Luciferâ€™ is an exceptional scarlet red variety from Blooms in England, and itâ€™s a big hit with hummingbirds. The new â€˜Lucifer Orangeâ€™ and â€˜Lucifer Yellowâ€™ are making their debut this year as well. Lush looking sedums are especially important at this time of year. The succulent foliage of â€˜Autumn Joyâ€™ and â€˜Brilliantâ€™ certainly looks great all summer and never stresses out in drought situations. As the rosy pink blos-

soms open, they provide refreshing new colour for weeks. They combine well with lowgrowing conifers or small flowering shrubs like potentillas. As the pink flowers turn bronze, they should be left on the plant for a rather charming dried â€˜fall lookâ€™. There are so many new varieties today, itâ€™s hard to keep up, but I particularly like the â€˜Xenoxâ€™ series and the variegated yellow and green â€˜Elsie Mayâ€™. Heleniums have come a long way in the past few years with new

colours and sizes. H. â€˜Short â€˜n Sassyâ€™ is a 12â€? repeat bloomer that is simply magnificent. The small gold or goldbronze petals bloom well into autumn, and they stand up well in summer heat. These are some of my â€˜tried and trueâ€™ favourites that add fresh new life to summer gardens.

Dentist Dr. Clayton Seidlitz & Dr. Damian Malinowski

QUESTION:Â

Why should I have my childâ€™s baby teeth filled when they will fall out eventually? Â ANSWER:Â It is true that baby teeth will fall out, yet there are very good reasons to have them filled when caries (cavities) are present. Any tooth which has a cavity that is not properly fixed can eventually cause a tooth ache. It can also cause infection in the surrounding gums or bone. The earlier that a cavity is detected and a restoration (filling) placed, the lower the likelihood that this will happen. Infection can be dangerous and can also, in certain circumstances, cause problems with the adult tooth that is developing in the jaw bone. Also, having untreated cavities increases the amount of cavity forming bacteria in the mouth. This makes it more likely that the adult teeth coming into the mouth could develop cavities as well. So why do we not just pull the tooth? Baby teeth fall out at different times - some of the back ones may not come out until 11 or 12 years of age. These teeth function in chewing but also keep space for the adult teeth to come into place in the proper position. Your child should be evaluated by a dentist to assess his or her teeth, as well as risk factors for developing cavities or other problems. Your dentist can answer any further questions that you may have. SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS TO:

regarded, and many of the residents of our area align strongly with this agricultural identity. However our area is so much more than the bottom of the Valley, it is also made up of rugged mountains, glaciers, rivers and lakes that are all cloaked with amazing vegetation, made possible due to our rainforest climate. It is a rare and beautiful thing anywhere in the world to be able to take a stroll through multiple climate zones in a single day, and often times on a single hike. We are also fortunate to have the rare and fragile eco zone of the High Alpine Tundra present in our area on only the highest of our peaks. The summits of the Cheam Range would be the very fringe of this zone which usually begins at roughly 2200m of elevation and which is characterized by the only forms of vegetation that can exist here, dwarf plant species, heather and grasses due to the harsh temperatures and winter conditions that persist for much of the year. Below this we have the Alpine and Subalpine, where the tree line is still banished, heather meadows and brave patches of stunted trees dot the landscape and the views are spectacular. Dominating the majority of our backcountry lands is the oh-so familiar and spectacularly beautiful coniferous rainforests consisting of many varieties of spruce,

fir, cedar, hemlock and others. It is this zone that BC’s coast is acclaimed for around the world and in it we find most of the animal species, vast varieties of fungi and plants and hundreds of bird species as well. Being so close to the ocean and at the foot of the mountains puts us at a fascinating interaction point between coastal animals and birds and inland mountain terrain. It is not uncommon to see seas otters and ocean based birds in Chilliwack, following the Salmon as they make their run back to their spawning grounds in the mountains.

Due to the geographical constraints of Canada, and BC in particular, for acquiring timber and other resources, the protection of our wild lands, through establishment of larger tracks of parks land is far more limited than our neighbors to the south. If it were a merit-based consideration for whether or not our local mountain terrain deserves the same level of protection and acclaim as the massive parks in Washington State, we would certainly have far more parks lands than we do. You need only look at a map that shows the contrast of protection along the 49th

parallel to understand that the splendor of the mountains does not stop on a straight line, the will to protect it does. Get out there and love what we have, experience our community in all of the facets that is has to offer and begin your summer with a walk in the woods, for we truly hav some of the most unique and beautiful terrain anywhere in the world right in our back yard. “Your time is limited so don’t waste it living someone else’s life.” – Steve Jobs Sam Waddington is owner of Mt.

Be a part of the bat patrol

06/14W_MS25

Citizen scientists in Chilliwack and throughout British Columbia are being asked to help increase our knowledge of bats. “Got Bats?” community projects support conser vation of bats by providing educational programs, conducting inventories of bats in buildings, working with landowners who have bats in buildings and establishing annual counts, where volunteers count bats leaving a roost site on their property for four nights over the spring and summer in order to monitor populations. “There is surprisingly little known about local bat species and their numbers,” said Environment Minister Mar y Polak. “I encourage anyone

with an interest in bats to contact their local project and to get involved, especially by volunteering for this year’s bat count. Your efforts will help us better understand and protect them in B.C.” B.C. has the highest bat diversity in Canada with 16 of the 19 species found here. Half the bat species in B.C. are listed to be of conservation concern either provincially or federally. More recently, the emergence of White Nose Syndrome, a fungal disease that kills bats during their winter hibernation period, has resulted in the death of more than six million bats across 25 states and five Canadian provinces. The disease is predicted to arrive in B.C. within the next decade,

and monitoring bat populations is essential for detecting sudden declines associated with White Nose Syndrome caused deaths. The Habitat Conser vation Trust Foundation is providing program funding, and regional partners have secured additional funding and in-kind contributions from a number of sources. The community projects are being modelled after the successful Kootenay Community Bat Project and South Coast Bat Action Team. To learn more about local “Got Bats?” projects, register for the bat count or get assistance to deal with bat issues, call 1 855 9BC-BATS or visit: www.bcbats.ca

Party in the Park lineup mostly local this year Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

It’s become Chilliwack’s most popular free, outdoor event. Party in the Park kicks off Friday July 11 — the first of four big summer nights in Central Community Park. The first PITP of 2014 will see dancers from Creative Outlet get the crowd going starting at five p.m., followed by musical acts: Matthew Cheverie, Cold Chain, Paul Filek, Steve ‘Elvis Elite’ Elliott, and Big Shiny. The musicians and entertainers booked for the Chances Community Stage will go live at 5 p.m. and be wrapped up by 10 p.m, said entertainment coordinator Trevor McDonald. He shared the talent line-up

with The Progress this week going over some of the talented acts booked for the Chances Community Stage. “We’ve got 25 acts over four nights.” The list is awe-inspiring. “My vision for this year was bringing it all back home.” The talent is 95 per cent local with connections to the Chilliwack area, “which is awesome,” he says. “I always say we don’t need to look anywhere but our own backyard for top-tier talent.” Local acts on the first night include local ukulele player Matthew Cheverie, Colin Maxwell and Terry Seekins of Cold Chain, Steve Elliott and some of the guys of Big Shiny, like Dylan Weightman and

Andrew Christopher. “When I asked around who people wanted to see the most this summer, Steve Elliott’s name was high on the list. We’re thrilled to have him back,” said McDonald. Every single night of PITP (July 11 & 18, August 15 and 22) has something fun for audience members with a range of musical tastes. “These acts are the best of every genre,” said McDonald. “I could have filled another four nights with the incredible talent in the valley.” On July 18, get ready for: No Time Flat, Aerophonics, The Rub, Head Over Heels, and Clarence. On Aug. 15, it’s John Welsh Band, Amanda Thate Band, Barefoot, Nikki Werner

and Lounge Hounds. Finally on Aug. 22 it’s Curbside Jazz, Damian, The Chill-Billies, Todd Richard, Nearly Neil and the Solitary Band. New this year will be the two acoustic busking stages bracketing each end of Wellington Avenue, with small beer gardens set up outside each venue. So at the same time as the excitement on the Chances stage, there will be non-stop acoustic performances over on Wellington. “The idea is people can wander over if they like, grab a bite from a food truck, grab a beverage and enjoy the atmosphere. We’re trying to create a flow going down Wellington as well.” Every night on Chances Community Stage, the fun

starts with a local dance group. Creative Outlet, Project Dance, Capella, and Evolutionz will be represented this year. Plus the shows will be “volume friendly” he stressed, and organizers are trying to return PITP to more of a community gathering on Friday nights. “I don’t want people to worry about the noise factor,” he said. “People can bring the kids and the grandparents. The demographic is from 5 to 105.” Some of the PITP acts will be carrying on in local pubs and venues afterward, such as Echo Room, Triple Play and the Wellington, as well as Society Gathering House and more. Keep watching The Progress for the rest of the PITP entertainment schedule.

Hawkes Brampton bound for softball nationals The Progress

Dallas Hawkes was a tired girl Monday morning. She stepped off an airplane at 1 a.m., flying back from a tournament in Portland. By 10 a.m. she was over at the Townsend Park diamonds chatting with your friendly neighborhood sports reporter. But she shook off the fatigue nicely and had a smile on her face as she talked about the opportunity that awaits her, a trip to softball nationals in August (15-17). Hawkes and her U16A Surrey Storm are going to Brampton, ON to face the best of the best, and, as one of Surrey’s two starting pitchers, the Chilliwack kid will be in the middle of the action. Hawkes and her Storm squad punched their ticket to nationals at a tourney two weeks ago. The qualifier was held at Langley’s Softball City. After disposing of two outmatched opponents (Delta 98 and Langley Fusion 98), the Storm ran into a buzz-saw in their third game. Hawkes got the start against the White Rock Renegades 98, record-wise the best in the province. The game was tied 7-7 in Surrey’s final at bat, with the bases loaded and just one out. A Storm batter lifted a fly ball into the outfield, allowing the runner at third to tag up and race home. “It was one of the most intense games I’ve ever been a part

of, really nerve-wracking and not something I could really watch,” said Hawkes, who described herself as ‘freaking out’ as the winning run crossed the plate. “It was the most runs anyone had scored against White Rock this year, and gave us so much confidence.” The Storm finished the round-robin with enough wins to lock up third place, with the top three going to nationals. With Brampton in the bag, the Storm lost their last two games. But it was a happy Hawkes on the car-ride home. “For me, it’s super exciting and I was freaking out and jumping around,” said the first-year Storm player. “I’m still so excited for it, even two weeks later. The rest of the team, not so much. They’ve been there before so they were like, ‘We’re going to nationals. Awesome.’” The teenager, who’s enrolled in the softball academy at Abbotsford’s Yale secondary school, has a name that may be familiar to speed-skating fans. Until last year, she was an excellent athlete with the Sardis Fliers. But she opted to focus solely on softball, then narrowed her focus even more. Prior to this season she split her time between pitching and the outfield. This year it’s been 95 per cent pitching. “And a lot more icing of the arm,” she laughed. Practice makes perfect, and Hawkes has developed an outstanding repertoire. “I’d say I’m more of

Chilliwack’s Dallas Hawkes will pitch for the U16A fastpitch softball Surrey Storm at nationals. The tournament takes place in mid-August in Brampton, ON. Her team will be one of three representing British Columbia. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

a low (velocity) pitcher, throwing drop-balls, change-ups and curveballs that come in low and down,” she said. “I’m not about speed. I’m about spin, for everything.” Hawkes takes particular delight in her change-up. She likes seeing batters gear up for a fastball, then flail wildly at her super-slow offering. “Your wind-up is exactly the same as it is for everything else, but the pitch comes in a lot slower,” she said. “They’re always way ahead of it and it’s so funny to watch. I’ve thrown three in a row and they’re still swinging at all three of them.” Her pitching team-

mate, Jessica, brings more heat making them perfect complements to each other. “Usually we pitch full games, but there are times when we’ve switched out halfway through, and there’s definitely a difference when batters go from me to her or her to me,” Hawkes said. Until this year, Hawkes said she was a little wild on the mound. With so much movement on her pitches, it’s not surprising that she had trouble hitting her spots. But she’s refined her control and command, and knows where the ball’s going most of the time. She’ll need to be a pin-point pitcher in

Brampton, where top level competition will clobber mistakes. “It’s all of the best teams in Canada, and I think it’s going to be super intense,” said Hawkes, who listens to electronic dance music to get pumped up before games. “I think I’m ready for it and I feel our team is near the top. I expect to see some difficult teams, but we’ll bring our A game and show everyone what we’ve got.” Teams representing BC have won six times at nationals. White Rock owns three of those titles. The Surrey Storm won in 2006, with the Delta Heat (2012) and Burnaby Oakeys (2000) also winning.

Whitlam powers through 11 hours Dick Whitlam accomplished his goal and then some, golfing 126 holes in last Friday’s PGA of BC Golfathon for ALS. The Chilliwack Golf Academy instructor set a goal of 100 holes, and teed off at 6 a.m. Playing speed-golf at roughly one and a half rounds per hour, Whitlam darted through the 18 hole Chilliwack Golf and Country Club course in rapid fashion. When there were other players on the course, they stepped aside and allowed him to play through, shouting encourage-

Almost every golf club in BC had someone participating in the Golfathon. See golfathonforals.ca

One drove ahead, warning golfers that he was coming, while the other carried his clubs and food. Whitlam reached his goal of 100 holes by 2 p.m. and carried on until he had golfed 11 hours. “My back was starting to ache

Selling your home? Get rid of the clutter? Most homebuyers put storage space high on their list of priorities when shopping for a new home. No matter how much storage space a home offers, it’s typical for prospective buyers to feel that it won’t be enough, especially if they are confronted with piles of old sports equipment, sewing projects and outdated magazines when they open your closet for inspection, and they will! Are your storage areas filled to maximum capacity? Don’t despair – help for the hopelessly cluttered home does exist? Strategies for increasing your home storage and decreasing your storable belongings will make your current home more attractive to buyers and your future home more comfortable for you. Even a large walk-in closet will appear inadequate if it is stuffed from floor to ceiling with your possessions. When selling one home and moving to another, you can deal with disorderly closets by eliminating your excess “stuff” before you pay the movers to pack it up and deliver it to your new residence. Why fill your brand new closets with things that just sat in boxes, collecting dust in your previous home? Your miscellaneous belongings could earn you extra income at your moving sale, or you could make a donation to a local charity. Getting your home ready to sell could also include renting a temporary storage unit for the furniture and collectibles you just can’t bear to sell or give away.

Homebuyers who are moving into a new home where closet space is minimal might consider installing custom organizers in the house. Proper storage organizers can double and even triple the amount of items you can fit into your closet without making it look crowded. Depending on what kinds of items you have, and how you prefer them to be stored, you will get a feeling for what type of cabinet, cupboard, shelf, rack or display unit should be installed. Home designers who create elegant storage solutions often comment that, when asked to separate the clothing they’ve actually worn with clothing that has stayed in the closet, most people realize that they only wear approximately one-quarter of the clothing they own. Paying attention to details, such as using the same style of hanger throughout the closet, helps storage areas to look elegant and well organized, more like a designer boutique than a thrift store. When you finish putting all of your closets in order, then do the same with the attic, basement and pantry. Welldesigned home storage reassures prospective homebuyers that your house provides ample space for them – and for the contents of their closets!

Sarah Janzen passed away peacefully on June 14, 2014, aged 87 years. Sadie was born in Harris, Sask. on August 3, 1926, a second child to Helena (Epp) and Peter Dyck. The family settled in Rosemary, Alberta, where Sadie attended school and was baptized. She completed high school at Rosthern Junior College. Sadie’s mother died suddenly in 1947, leaving Sadie, as the eldest unmarried daughter, to manage the household for her father and three younger siblings until her father remarried in 1951. Freed from household responsibilities, Sadie was able to attend Canadian Mennonite Bible College in Winnipeg, graduating in 1954. In 1956 she earned her BA and teaching certificate from Bethel College in Kansas. Committed, since her baptism at age 14, to serving God, she entered missionary service, spending 18 months in Brussels, Belgium, studying French, before going on to her posting in the Belgian Congo, where she taught grades 6 and 7 at a school operated by Congo Inland Mission. Sadie fell ill in Congo and returned to Canada in 1958 to recover, but was unable to return to her mission because of political instability in the colony. During the 1960s, Sadie taught at bible schools in Alberta and B.C., and worked on a research project with the University of Manitoba. Sadie married Jacob F. (Jack) Janzen in 1973, thus acquiring three preteen and teenage children. Sadie and Jack enjoyed living and adventuring in Chilliwack, Prince George, and Fort Simpson, NWT. Jack passed away in 1982, and Sadie returned to Chilliwack to retire. She shared her retirement years with her sister and dearest friend, Irma Dyck. Throughout her life, in whatever she did, Sadie fulfilled her baptismal commitment to serve Jesus. Sadie was predeceased by her husband Jack, her parents, and her older sister Helen. She is survived by her stepchildren, Nancy, Joan, Jim and his wife Linda, grandchildren Claire, Jake, Konrad, Kurt and Greg, great-grandson Nathan, her three younger siblings, Peter, Irma, and Walter, and many nieces and nephews. A memorial service will be held at Eden Mennonite Church in Chilliwack on July 7 at 11 am.

McComb Ronald (Ron) Gordon Ronald (Ron) Gordon McComb of Chilliwack, BC passed away on Saturday, June 14, 2014 at the age of 78. With his wife at his side, he died peacefully at Cascade Lodge. Ron was born in New Westminster on Feb 19, 1936. Ron was a member of the New Westminster City Police Dept for 31 years; retiring in 1992 at the age of 57. During his retirement he enjoyed golfing, curling and gardening. He leaves behind his wife Rose of 15 years and his 2 children, Mark [Mary] and Krista. He is also survived by his brother, Bob and sister, Marilyn [Dave]. Ron was predeceased by his daughter, Alison and his parents Harold and Mary McComb. A special Thank You to the staff at Cascade Lodge for treating him with such dignity and kindness and to Dr. Gordon Enns and his staff. Also thanks to Community Health Workers and staff at Chilliwack Home Support; friends and neighbours in Country Park Village. At Ron’s request there will be no formal services.

OBITUARIES

Miriam

Miriam Schaefer went home to be with her Lord in her sleep on June 15, 2014 at 9:25 PM at the Bradley Centre, Chilliwack, BC. She was 94, two weeks short of her 95th birthday. Miriam was predeceased by her husband Otto Schaefer, sisters Eleanor Rea, Carol Brigden, Amanda Burkholder and brother Harry Christman, as well as her parents Adolph and Emilia Christman. She is survived by her brother Norman Christman, and lovingly remembered by her daughter Janet Hecker, son-in-law Keith Hecker, grandchildren Christopher Hecker and Kerry Hecker (Lowell Strauss), plus great grandchildren Danny and Jesse. Miriam was born on the Christman family farm in the Arbana district of Saskatchewan near Maple Creek. She attended a country school and took high school by correspondence. She wanted to be a nurse, but couldn’t afford the fees, so she became a Nurse’s aide and was employed in the Maple Creek Union Hospital. The seamstress who made her uniforms became her mother-in-law, when she married Otto Schaefer in 1941 in Regina. Otto later joined the RCAF and after basic training in Moose Jaw, he was posted to Montreal. Miriam delivered her only child in March 1943 and when the baby was six weeks old, she took the train across the continent to be with her husband. Six months later Otto was posted to the west coast of Vancouver Island. They travelled back across Canada and after purchasing supplies at Woodwards in Vancouver, they boarded the “Uclulet,” the boat that took them to Tofino, where they lived in a small house built in the tree line on Long Beach. Two years later when the war ended, the couple moved back to Maple Creek SK, where they went into business running a radio repair shop. Later they bought Hodson Hardware and ran that business until retirement. They moved to Chilliwack in 1973, to Hampton House in 2008, and Miriam went into the Bradley Centre in November 2012. Miriam enjoyed porcelain painting, making pottery and bobbin lace, and other handcrafts. She was a lifetime member of the Rebekah Lodge. She was a registered BC artist and leaves behind a great legacy of works of porcelain art. The memorial service will be held Monday, June 30, 2014 at 2 PM in the Chapel at Henderson’s Funeral Home, 45901 Victoria Ave. in Chilliwack, with Rev. Graeme Isbister officiating. A reception will follow in the Tea Room. The family wishes to thank the staff of the Bradley Centre for the marvelous care they gave Miriam during her last 2 years. Donations may be made to the Bradley Centre.
