Police seek tips after youth assaulted Chilliwack RCMP are looking for witnesses to a serious assault that happened early Wednesday morning at Cultus Lake.

Just before 2 a.m. police responded to a call in the First Avenue Area. They found a youth who’d suffered head trauma, including several broken teeth. Two men had a approached the youth as he walked along the water’s edge, asking him to turn around. When he tried to walk away they punched him and took him to the ground.

“This was a very serious assault,” said RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck. “There is no evidence at this time to suggest that the victim provoked the suspects in any way. We are looking for anyone who may have information about this assault to contact us.”

The suspects are both described as being approximately six-foot-two with goatees and several tattoos on their arms.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604 7924611 or Crime Stoppers (anonymously) at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Wet Wednesday sets new rainfall record Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Wednesday was the wettest July 23 on record. JENNA HAUCK/PROGRESS

It’s typically the driest day of the year.

But in a complete turnaround this year, July 23 turned out to be the wettest on record since 1879, says Roger Pannett, Chilliwack volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada.

A whopping total of 21.8 mm of the wet stuff hit the ground on Wednesday.

Looking at rainfall totals in

history for that day, consider that in 1912, only 5.8 mm fell on July 23. Then in 2012, it was 13.1 mm of rain for that day.

“In comparison, the severe storm and flash flooding in Kamloops produced in excess of 23.2 mm in 30 minutes!” said Pannett by email to The Progress.

These are the ‘dog days’ of summer, which is usually the driest time of the year.

The wettest Chilliwack July day on record, however, was when 65.3 mm of rain fell on July

8, 1997.

The total monthly average rainfall for July is 46 mm over six days.

Rainfall total to date for this month is at 32 mm over seven days.

According to the gauge at the Vedder bridge, the ChilliwackVedder river rose 17 cm during the rain event, going from 2.10 metres to 2.27 metres. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

While neighbours fume, politicians look for answers The Chilliwack Progress continues its two-part series on problem properties and the challenges they pose for neighbours, politicians and police.

Eric Welsh The Progress Debbie Walker knows how frustrating it can be to see a problem, tell RCMP and the City about the problem and get no tangible results.

For four years she’s lived on Rotary Street, literally a stone’s throw away from one of Chilliwack’s high schools.

For the last two years she’s dealt with a series of nightmare neighbours.

Looking out her front window while sitting at her dining room table, Debbie’s had the best seat in the house for a show she never wanted to see.

It started in the house directly to the left of hers, when people started coming and going at all hours of the day. At one point, she counted 19 of them, all of whom appeared to be living there. Nocturnal creatures, they seemed most active when the rest of the world was going to bed.

“Always furtive in the dark, like little animals,” she said.

Big dogs escaped the back yard to chase after children, and the atmosphere of fear was so palpable that Debbie stopped walking four houses down the street to visit a friend, because she’d knew she’d have to walk past that house.

“It was so demoralizing,” she complained. “I seriously didn’t want to get up in the morning some days.”

A feisty woman and not one to avoid confrontation, Debbie got in her neighbour’s faces. She’d be on her front steps at midnight, yelling at them to shut up. She took pictures and videos and kept books of notes that she forwarded on to police.

“And yet, when the cops came by and I asked them if they knew what had been going on, the answer was inevitably no,” she said with a shrug.

Her other neighbours suggested Debbie might want to keep her head down a little and not make herself a target of reprisal.

“And wouldn’t that be the smart thing to do? It’s not good for my health,” she laughed. “But I know I’ve got three girls living in that house over there, five boys in that house over there and two babies over there. So no, not on my watch!”

She did try to lay low for a while.

She closed her curtains and made like everything was OK. But soon enough she was back at it.

“I yelled very loud and the lights were always on,” she chuckled. “I made sure everyone knew I was out there.”

It’s no exaggeration to say Debbie and her friends threw a party when the nightmare neighbours set fire to the house. In October of 2013 a large

SINCE E 1973

LOCALLY Y OWNED & OPERATED D 07/14F_LF25

Debbie Walker and her neighbours were ecstatic when this Rotary Street home was boarded up following a fire (sparked by the manufacturing of hash oil) last year – until the residents moved to another home across the street. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

portion of the place was torched, rendering it uninhabitable. Word at the time, later confirmed, was that the fire was related to the cooking of hash oil.

The City slapped one of those non-occupancy orders on the house.

The windows were boarded up and within a week it was barricaded behind a metal fence.

It was an eyesore, but a vacant eyesore.

“I was in Vancouver the day that it burned, and other people were emailing me pictures and saying, ‘You should be here!” Debbie said.

“And we all celebrated with a block barbecue! We really did. We were all happy, and I actually started to feel normal again.”

Until...

Not long afterwards, Debbie was shocked to see the same faces from the burned-out house moving into the top floor of a house just across the street. To her dismay, they were getting into their old house and hauling stuff to their new place. She couldn’t believe her eyes as a waterlogged couch was carried out. She saw them going in after dark, with miner-lights on their foreheads, salvaging whatever they could.

“I was so happy when they left and then I was so, ‘Oh my God’ when they came back,” she said. “And I learned a valuable lesson. When it’s really good, don’t celebrate too much.” ❖❖❖

So why do they stay?

Frank (see ‘The dilemma of nightmare neighbours, Chilliwack Progress, July 23) tried to sell his place not long ago, and nearly found a taker.

“I had a couple come in from Alberta and they were ready to

EEK SPECIAL OF THE W E

SECTIONAL0S0AL $

996

buy it, until they went upstairs,” he recalled. “They took a look out my bedroom window, saw one of the messes next door and said, ‘There’s no way we can buy this.’

One of the neighbours in Frank’s complex reduced his price three times trying to get out. Of the six units, five have now sold.

There is a point at which you could sell one of these places, but it’d be a price point where I’ve calculated I’d take at least a $60,000 hit,” Frank said. “I’m fortunate that I’ve saved my pennies and I could absorb that kind of loss, but I don’t want to use those pennies, take everything out and leave this empty until someone comes and buy it.”

Debbie is in the same situation.

She knows she won’t be able to sell her place, but she could rent it out and move closer to Vancouver and her work.

“Why don’t I? These are my friends,” she said. “They’re hard working people who aren’t rolling in it, and what are they going to get for their houses with this s**t going on? Selling isn’t an option. Perhaps reviewing assessment pricing on the block might be a consideration, if we’re not getting the support to keep us safe.” ❖❖❖

Chilliwack City Councillor Jason Lum understands the frustration that Frank, Debbie and others in their situation feel.

He’s been there.

“My neighbourhood has an issue with a house, and you know, they think it should be taken care of right away,” he said. “They want to hear we’re going to kick the door in and drag them out. Due process isn’t the first thing you’re thinking about when you’ve got kids or grand-kids

living close to a house like that.”

As chair of the City’s Public Safety Committee, Lum’s heard the voices of people affected by the problem, and the voices of people trying to deal with it.

“We send bylaws officers out to do inspections and post no-occupancy orders, and the people living in those houses scatter and move to other locations,” he said. “The RCMP invests time and effort into an investigation. Perhaps they get a conviction and these people are out in a couple weeks or months. I feel it. I hear that frustration from police officers and citizens alike.”

So is the City doing all it can to combat the problem?

Lum believes the bylaw and police officers are doing what they can within the limitations they face.

“In terms of bylaw and the city perspective, we simply don’t have the capacity to have bylaw officers driving up and down every street,” he said. “In terms of the RCMP, when we do any kind of surveying, public safety comes back as a top priority for citizens. And when you look at our allocation of tax dollars to fire and policing, those priorities are reflected.”

Talk to the RCMP and they’ll say the root of this problem is property owners who are content to pocket rent cheques from just about anyone while letting their properties fall into disrepair.

“They need to be more accountable and responsible for those properties,” said RCMP Cpl. Len VanNieuwenhuizen. “They do have the authority to go in and inspect rentals with due notice and if they did that, they’d deter a lot of this activity. Unfortunately there’s a lot of property owners out there who just

rent to anyone who has cash. They don’t ask questions or take time to research background.”

Could Chilliwack adopt Surrey’s hit-em-in-the-wallet strategy?

Maybe. In time.

“The Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce started calling for the derelict (commercial) building bylaw in 2008 and we did it this year, so it takes a while to come to fruition,” he noted. “If you’re contemplating any new bylaw or policy, you want to make sure you’ve done due diligence. When you get into it and start piling on other levels of legislation at the provincial and federal levels that we have to comply with, it compounds.”

“We’re handcuffed in our ability to deal with these problems in the manner the public expects us to,” he continued. “If you had mayors and councils with the ability to act in the way we wish we could... I guess what I’m saying is I feel the frustration and understand it.”

If Lum can point to one area where the City is being proactive, it would be in prevention.

If Chilliwack had no people with alcohol and drug addictions, these problem houses would fade away.

Pie in the sky thinking perhaps, but Lum says the City is allocating resources to that preventative side.

“We’re trying to work with service providers who can deal with the underlying issues, like drug and alcohol addiction and mental health,” he explained. “We have the Health and Housing Contact Centre, which is providing services for the severely addicted and resources for people who’d otherwise be homeless.”

Open for close to a year, Lum is hoping to see hard data that it is making a difference.

“We’re keeping a very close eye on it, and we’ve been in close contact with the community resources people who are running it,” he said.

“One program or service or location isn’t going to solve everything, and these things are traditionally not part of the mandate for municipal government. But it’s ending up on our doorstep and the doorstep of our citizens.

So, this council and the council prior moved to start working on some of these preventative programs.”

At the same time, Lum said the City will continue to work on the punitive side.

Drug dealers are going to move with their market, and if there are people here they feel they can exploit and make tons of money off, they’ll be here,” he said. “But I understand the preventative approach is sometimes the last thing a neighbourhood wants to hear. It works hand in hand with the punitive side. If you have a meth lab in a neighbourhood by a school, there’s nothing I want more than to find you, crack down and put you in jail.” ❖

Slow-release is best for young trees

YOUR KITCHEN

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress You may have noticed the dark-green bags attached to some young trees popping up around Chilliwack.

They appeared recently along Airport Road, Young Road, and Webster Road for example.

Turns out they are slow-release watering bags, according to City of Chilliwack officials.

They were installed on some of the new trees planted this spring before the hotter weather arrived.

They were put on a range of new trees that were planted this spring.

“This is the first year we have used the bags, so they are fairly new to us,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “Operations staff was planning ahead for the hot summer weather and it just coincided with the early heat wave.”

The plan is to leave them on for the rest of the summer.

Just one bagful of water will usually provide enough moisture to last for up to a week.

The efficient design allows for deeper saturation which keeps moisture below the surface, reducing transplant shock and encouraging root growth downward. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

The indicators — access to a vehicle, carrying multiple cellphones, going out at all hours of the day and night on errands — are spelled out in detail in a new booklet released

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s clear recognition that young people are the community’s future leaders.

“Honouring Our Youth” is the theme of the 2014 Sto:lo Gathering, Saturday July 26, on the Coqualeetza grounds in Chilliwack.

Organizers say they’ll be putting the spotlight on community achievements and honour successes with a cultural celebration.

“The event is hosted by Stó:lo Nation Chiefs’ Council,” said Francine Douglas of Sto:lo Tourism. “It’s an opportunity for families and community members to see the chiefs in person and interact with them.”

Several chiefs from the 11 communities that make up Sto:lo Nation will be in attendance, barbecuing salmon or serving the public.

It’s the fourth annual Sto:lo Gathering, and they’ll be highlighting some of the success stories around the territory.

The gathering starts with a traditional welcome song. Later there’s chili and bannock contest, lunch served by the Chiefs, a dunk tank, tours, archery and slahal demos, crafts, and more.

Several young people active in local youth groups have taken on leadership roles in the community, including one that provides traditional drumming and singing for special events.

“These youth have grown up in the culture,” said Douglas.

“Everyone is proud of the work they are doing.”

There’s awareness that some will eventually step up to take on roles as chiefs, band councillors, and business people.

“Being submerged in the culture from an early age, it makes a difference, and we’re recognizing them for it.”

There are two contests at the gathering, one for traditional foods, including salmon, smoked salmon and bannock contest, as well as an aboriginal art contest for kids. The public can have a vote for their favourites if they’re onsite early enough in the morning. The July 26 gathering runs from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. See more at www.stolonation.bc.ca jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Province defends shift from Martin Mars water bombers Jeff Nagel Black Press The provincial government is defending its unpopular decision to halt B.C.’s use of the veteran Martin Mars water bombers in favour of newer aircraft to fight wildfires.

The B.C. Wildfire Management Branch responded as campaigners closed in on a target of 20,000 signatures on a petition urging the premier to reinstate the 1940s-era amphibious plane.

Organizer Chris Alemany plans to deliver the petition Thursday to Christy Clark’s constituency office in West Kelowna, where residents had been under evacuation order from the Smith Creek wildfire.

Critics argue the province is spending more money to get less firefighting service than it had with the famous Martin Mars planes.

B.C. instead has contracted the use of four Air Tractor “Fire Boss” water-scooping

amphibious planes from the Conair Group of Abbotsford for $2.5 million per season.

The much smaller aircraft are more flexible because they can operate from more than 1,700 lakes compared to just 113 with the Mars.

The new planes can also drop water, foam or retardant on a fire, with an ability to deliver 3,025 litres on a sevenminute turnaround, compared to 19,000 litres with the Mars on a 19-minute round trip.

The branch said in

statement the new Fire Bosses delivered fire suppressant twice as fast during the recent West Kelowna fire – 586,000 litres in 11.3 hours – as the Martin Mars dropped during the 2003 Kelowna fire.

“Over the past six weeks, the new Fire Boss aircraft have actioned more fires than the Martin Mars did in six years.”

Today there’s only one Martin Mars left in the province, owned by Continued: AIRTANKER/ p10

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.

Problem properties A home is arguably the most import investment most of us are likely to ever make.

It’s not only the money we spend (and in the Lower Mainland that can be substantial), but also the time we take, and effort we make to turn a house into a home.

So it’s not surprising that when that sanctity is threatened we react.

In this issue and last, The Progress has spoken to residents who have become frustrated and angry by what they see as an inability by officials to respond to problem properties in their neighbourhoods.

Since then, we’ve heard from others.

To be sure, none of us is perfect.

But what we are talking about is more than an unkept lawn. The broader concern is that these properties become mini-epicentres for illegal activity.

And that concern is shared by more than nearby residents.

Police and politicians know that these properties tap valuable resources, affect the lives of constituents, and become a festering sore in an otherwise healthy and prosperous neighbourhood.

It’s not just a Chilliwack problem. Cities throughout the Lower

Mainland have struggled to deal with the complicated process of shutting down drug houses and flop houses, while finding appropriate support for those displaced.

In the past seven months the City of Surrey has closed more than 100 drug houses. The move follows the violent death of hockey mom Julie Paskall and the creation of the “Mayor’s Task Force on Crime.”

The initiative co-ordinates Surrey’s bylaw department, RCMP, Crown counsel and social service agencies.

Although Chilliwack has similar tools at its disposal, the Surrey model might be worth a look.

But ultimately, the responsibility rests with property owners. The profits they make renting out these homes, obligates them to ensuring they are managed properly; that their tenants are acting responsibly, and that their buildings are not being used to shelter illegal activity.

If Chilliwack hopes to address the concerns residents have raised, it will need the tools to go after absentee property owners who allow these situations to persist. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Cost of Flight 17’s destruction still being counted Last Thursday the world was horrified to learn of the shooting down of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 over Grabovo, Ukraine, by what officials described as a Russian-made anti-aircraft missile. All 298 passengers and crew members died and their remains lay in the ruins for several days before efforts were made to recover them.

The horrific carnage was made all the more disgustingly gruesome with pro-Russian separatists stomping over the crash site and tampering with evidence.

As more information came to light, Russian President Vladimir Putin and his end game for Ukraine have come under closer scrutiny. U.S. officials in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence claim there is a solid case that a SA-11 missile, or Buk, was fired from eastern separatist-controlled Ukraine with satellite images allegedly showing

a surface-to-air missile launcher in the area. Of course, Russia denies this, counter-blaming the Ukrainian government for bring the Boeing 777 down. But the Ukrainians did not have such a system anywhere near the vicinity of the launch site.

Satellite video evidence also showed a Buk missile launchMargaret er being driven over the Russian EVANS border after the attack with one of its missiles missing.

There’s nothing simple about a Buk. The surface-to-air missile system is an advanced series of sophisticated militar y vehicles that can track targets with radar and fire missiles designed to knock out smart bombs and cruise missiles. Whoever used

it that day had received some pretty advanced training, but the question has surfaced as to whether the civilian plane had been mistaken for a military one.

This truly was an international incident with many victims representing the Netherlands as well as Malaysia, Indonesia, Australia, Britain, Germany, Belgium, Philippines, Canada and New Zealand. Brilliant minds were lost including key HIV/ AIDS researchers and scientists on their way to the annual convention in Australia.

There’s been some Malaysiawhacking that the airline (still suffering from the unresolved loss of flight MH370 in March) shouldn’t have been in Ukraine airspace. But it was where it was allowed to go.

The Ukraine airspace includes a no-fly zone up to 9,754 metres (32,000 ft). The airline, like many other international flights, was in

www.theprogress.com ContactUs: w

The Chilliwack

Progress

the considered safe zone above the limit at 10,058 metres (33,000 ft). According to the U.K.’s Civil Aviation Authority, airlines’ decisions on whether to fly over conflict zones depends on a wide variety of factors such as advice from their own governments and foreign office, current warnings, navigation aids, weather, and airports that could be out of commission.

The flight route had already been declared safe with no restrictions and many other airlines were already using it including Aeroflot, Air India, Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines, and Virgin Atlantic.

As bodies were finally being flown home to be reunited with loved ones earlier this week, the black boxes were handed over by pro-Russian separatists and are now already in Farnborough, the headquarters of the U.K.’s Air Accident Investigation Branch

whose experts are considered the world’s pre-eminent specialists in air crash analysis. They’ll extract every gram of information out of the boxes to get to the bottom of the disaster.

Many analysts already point the finger at Putin being at the bottom of it. But his ambitions for Ukraine may have already backfired with this disaster. He made an effort to step up to the plate and called for an open international investigation even as his Ukraine supporters slowed that very work down. He’s earned himself a pariah status and the West is upping the threat of further sanctions.

The downed plane and any Russian involvement is a game changer. The Ukraine conflict could become a bigger tension, one that could threaten European security.

And that concerns everyone.

Ambulance dispatch claims by firefighters ‘unbalanced’ A recent op-ed by the provincial firefighters’ union president makes several claims about the provincial pre-hospital health care system that require clarification so readers can have a balanced perspective.

To ensure that both ambulance and first responder (fire department) resources are dispatched appropriately, and the public isn’t at risk from emergency vehicles driving at high speeds unnecessarily, BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) undertook its fifth review of its Resource Allocation Plan (RAP) in 2013. The RAP outlines which resource(s) to assign to each medical call received and how they should respond – lights and siren or routine.

Our evidence-based review found that there is no clinical benefit for patients to have first responders dispatched for several of the call types that they currently attend.

A formal consensus among EMS physicians is that only patients in

cardiac or respiratory arrest, or those having total airway obstruction, benefit from a rapid ambulance response. An ambulance is still sent to every call in B.C., however, they are responding without lights and siren more often.

Ambulance dispatchers assess the patient’s condition over the phone and prioritize every call for service – people with life-threatening conditions get the fastest response with the highest trained paramedics available.

When appropriate, dispatchers notify first responders that there is a patient that would benefit from having fire fighters provide first aid as soon as possible. This notification occurs in seconds, not minutes as stated. First responders remain able to upgrade the call if they have concerns about the ambulance response.

With these changes, ambulances are getting to critically ill or injured patients faster and those with non-life threatening conditions have been waiting only a few

This morning on the CBC Early Edition, Minister Fassbender said that education funding has been increased by $1 billion each year for the past 13 years. I’d like him to “show his work” as a math teacher would say. How does he come up with that number when there have been massive cuts every single year since 2002? How does subtracting $275 million out of the budget in 2002 equal adding $1 billion to it? How can both things be true?

Are the math teachers of the province going to have to teach the BC Liberals another math lesson like we had to do with that Affordability Zone ad which contained a massive error in how to add percentages?

That was Grade 8 math. Are we going to have to go back to Grade 1 math, where we teach how to add and subtract?

I felt the need to clarify the difference between the word ‘theory’ in a scientific context and how it is used colloquially.

Scientific theories are the most accurate form of scientific knowledge we have. For something to be called a scientific theory, it has to have been rigorously tested or observed and never once shown to be untrue. A theory that works most of the time, but is shown to be false under certain conditions, is called a scientific law (e.g. Newton’s ‘Laws’ of Motion are true most of the time, but don’t work on the quantum scale or at relativistic speeds). A theory in the context you are using it in is actually a hypothesis.

The reason the theory of evolution is taught in public schools while creationism is not is that there is a huge amount of observable, testable evidence for evolution and absolutely none for creationism.

minutes more on average.

An EMS expert reviewed the process used to update the RAP and found that the methodology was consistent with contemporary best practices nationally and internationally, used robust clinical evidence, and is superior to the processes used in many major EMS systems.

BCEHS continues to monitor the RAP changes – which have only been implemented for ambulances so far, not first responders – on a system-wide basis and review individual calls when the response was questioned. To date there have been no negative clinical patient outcomes attributed to the RAP changes.

BCEHS greatly values the role of first responders and will continue to work on strengthening this partnership using medical evidence and facts to enhance care and service for patients.

So I called the Rotary Pool and found out pubic hours on the machine say Monday to Friday from 1-4 p.m. I hope this is the case and that the public outdoor pool is opened again.

Several years ago, Phyllis chose to get rid of her car and started using CCS Community Drivers program for all her driving needs. Her medical specialist had recommended CCS and she has utilized the program for over 10 years.

Phyllis is constantly amazed and grateful for the friendly professionalism of the volunteer drivers. She has used the service to get to eye testing, dentist, family doctor and specialist appointments and also personal needs.

As Phyllis puts it, “When you have a service like this that goes anywhere from Hope to Vancouver, it’s still like having your own car except now someone else does the driving. I still have my independence. All I have to do is call.”

Phyllis is a strong advocate and ambassador for the Community Drivers program, telling anyone and everyone that will listen about the availability, caring and compassionate service given by CCS. Chilliwack Community Services Community Drivers program is available to all age groups. Transportation can be arranged through the Community Drivers Coordinator and is provided anywhere in the Lower Mainland. For more information call 604-847-2231.

the Coulson Group on Vancouver Island.

According to the province, it offered the firm an “as when needed” contract for the 2014 fire season but got no response.

The government statement noted the Mars engines are prone to breakdowns, while if one Fire Boss breaks down the other three can stay in service.

Separate planes can also be split up to attack multiple different targets at once, which officials say is particularly useful in fighting a series of fires after intense lightning.

The Mars, meanwhile, has a large drop pattern that the branch said can make it unsafe to use close to ground crews, who must stop work during a drop, risking the escape of a fire that could have been contained during the initial attack phase.

The province also uses various other air tankers and helicopters in fighting fires.

More than 100 helicopters are currently in use around the province.

The province brought in an additional 153 firefighters from Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick Tuesday, joining 350 other out-of-province personnel.

What is PRP® and how does it work?

PRP is not a drug or an implant, it is a patented procedure. It is the only system that allows truly natural tissue regeneration using your body’s own ability to rejuvenate, and improve skin texture an thickness.

In just a few steps, you can enjoy a natural way to correct your skin imperfections with no post-procedure downtime. PRP can significantly improve skin texture, tone, and overall quality.

PRP treatments allow physicians to isolate some of your own platelets and fibrin from your blood and re-inject them at a particular site to correct a targeted skin imperfection.

Once they are administered in your skin, growth factors are released to trigger the production of new cells and collagen.

Sample while cycling in the Fraser Valley Slow Food Tours Gather your family and friends and cycle through the heart of the Fraser Valley while enjoying fresh, local food from some incredible farms during the Fraser Valley Slow Food Cycle Tours. The eighth annual Agassiz Summer Cycle Tour is Saturday, Aug. 2, while the sixth annual Chilliwack Summer Cycle Tour is Sunday, August 3.

The leisurely selfguided Slow Food Cycle Tours provide both an educational and culinar y experience, exploring a variety of farms including some that are open to the public only on the day of the tour. The tours give cyclists a rare chance to meet the farmers and learn about agriculture as they pick up fresh produce and other goodies in the spectacular Fraser Valley.

Last year, participants in Agassiz enjoyed locally produced goat cheese, hazelnuts, wood-fired pizza, ice cream with fresh blueberries and much, much more. Each cycle tour is approximately 25km along flat public roadways and riders

can start and finish their slow cycle tour any time between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m.

“The quiet countryside, surrounding mountains, farm animals and friendly locals makes this a not to be missed summer event for all to enjoy and we’re so happy to have the support of Prospera Credit Union,” says Erin Goosen, event coordinator with Tourism Harrison.

“Our goal is to really showcase what the Fraser Valley has to offer and to allow as many people as possible to experience what slow food is all about. Prospera’s sponsorship is helping us raise awareness and we encourage everyone to get outside and explore where their food comes from.”

“Some of our staff participated in this event last year and they couldn’t say enough about how much fun it was to ride from farm to farm and try wonderful local foods,” says Bruce Howell, president and CEO of Prospera Credit Union – lead sponsor of the event.

the 5.7L Hemi V8 with 360hp, moving all that power to four wheels through an 8-speed automatic. City fuel economy can be frightening but I was surprised at how good this truck is, even when taking advantage of the new 120 km/h speed limit on the Coquihalla highway. The Durango put in a solid 11.8 L/100km, with more than 900 km driven. Keep in mind I didn’t soft foot my way to or from Kelowna. I did notice that the fuel economy improved vastly the closer I stayed to 100 km/h.

The handling is a bit top-heavy in the corners, especially at higher speeds, but after some initial body roll, the Durango is very stable. One notable feature is the automatic fantastic adaptive cruise control, making the ride very enjoyable.

Verdict If you drive in the city, the base 3.6L V6 engine might be a better choice based on fuel consumption but, if you drive a lot on the highway or tow a boat (3,265 kg towing capacity), the

Hemi is the right choice. Power was always there to pass and pull up a hill and the fuel economy can be good if the driver watches their speed. The V8 has the ability to switch off four of the eight cylinders when the truck is under light load and accessing this as often as possible makes a big difference.

Another thing to consider is price: the Durango is not inexpensive, starting at $39,995 for the V6 and running up to $52,495 for the top Citadel V8.

My family loved spending time in the Durango, we all had a lot of space and the trip was effortless. Our next adventure is to Portland, Oregon in the Jeep Grand Cherokee Diesel. I can’t wait to see how that new truck compares.

Touring the Outback around The Rock ST. JOHN’S, NEWFOUNDLAND – Atop Signal Hill is an arrow that points westward.

It reads, “Vancouver, 5,031 km/3,126 mi.” I’m a long way from home.

But as I look over the rock wall of the historical landmark

in St. John’s, Newfoundland, I don’t feel so far away. An iceberg presents itself in the distance as the warm, morning sun lights up the Atlantic Ocean. The faint hum of a vessel’s engine drones away in the background.

To think, on December 12, 1901, the first transatlantic wireless signal was received

by Guglielmo Marconi at that spot is a fascinating piece of history. Interestingly, my phone whistles telling me I’ve received a message.

As I walk towards the all-new 2015 Subaru Outback, I realize that this vehicle is also making its own little history.

Touted as the world’s first sport utility wagon, it’s now 20 years old and better than ever.

There’s an all-new exterior look, the interior is much more refined, there’s a vibrant gauge cluster, a new audio system, and around back, there’s a total of 1005L of cargo capacity (that’s up 33L from the 2014 model.)

There’s also a choice of two engines, a humble 2.5L, 4-cylinder with 175 horsepower and 174 lb-ft of torque, or a more potent 3.6L, 6-cylinder with 256 horsepower and 247 lb-ft of torque.

The latter of the two engines

Looking out into the Atlantic, another iceberg lazily floats by as the humpback whales are out and breathing. I could get used to this, along with the companionship of the 2015 Subaru Outback.

is what powered me around “The Rock.”

With only a couple of days to figure out some adventures, time would be tight, but I’d enjoy each minute of it.

Complete with a high-torque Lineartronic CVT, I had the option to up and downshift through the Outback’s simulated gears, in case I needed to pass cars en route to my various adventures.

First: sea kayaking in Cape Broyle. Though the drive from downtown St. John’s is only about 66 kilometres, I’ve learned that giving yourself a little extra time when going anywhere is a good idea.

Let’s just say the city wasn’t built on a grid so it’s not always a straight shot getting out.

That said, when I was happily soaking in the surroundings, I did so in peace and quiet.

It’s amazing how serene the cabin remains even at highway speeds, with the wind blowing furiously.

Furthermore, the Outback has incredible off road capabilities, in case I needed to get to some hard to reach spots.

With a ground clearance of 220mm – like the Forester and XV Crosstrek – it can tackle the trails without even breaking a sweat. Thanks to the X-Mode feature, it allows for even more traction in high-slip environments. This all-wheel drive vehicle is just as happy being on the road as it is playing in the puddles, mud or climbing rocks.

Another adventure that wasn’t as physically demanding took me to Ferryland.

Established in 1621, this community south of St. John’s rests quaintly on the coast.

After parking, it’s about a one-kilometre walk until you reach a lighthouse. Not just any lighthouse, but one that serves picnic lunches so you and your loved ones can enjoy a meal while sitting on blankets, partaking of a sandwich continued on page 23

Sports cars like the Nissan 370Z Roadster are surprisingly fuel-efficient, and environmentally friendly.

LOS ANGELES, CA. – The Nissan 370Z (Zee or Zed) oozes youthful energy with its edgy design and wholehearted performance. Add warm California air to enhance the open sports car driving experience and roll back a few years, at least temporarily.

My two days in Los Angeles were spent mainly in and around Pasadena, a short freeway drive (16 km.) northeast of the downtown core. There are no beaches, no piers, no theme parks, no giant roller coasters and no kids ... ok, just a few little darlings. It does have beautifully preserved historic buildings, magnificent gardens, art galleries, museums and a vibrant “old town” district with theatres, bars and many great restaurants.

This “Z” was designed by a Canadian. A talented young man called Randy Rodriguez from Surrey, BC who works at Nissan’s US design centre in California. That magic moment of divine inspiration for the Z’s fluid styling lines apparently came while he was watching “shark week” on the Discovery Channel. He also has cleverly incorporated some subtle styling references to the original 240Z, a classic sports car.

The Z’s one-touch, auto-latching convertible top can open or close in about 20 seconds and comes with a glass rear window and an integrated electric rear window defroster.

It also comes with a fabric inner liner and a hinged metal body-colour tonneau cover that gives a top-down 370Z a classy finished look.

This Z has a lighter and more rigid body structure than its predecessor and a more powerful 332-horsepower 3.7-litre DOHC V6 engine.

There’s a lovely “growl” from its dual exhaust pipes when you prod the gas pedal, and drive goes to the rear wheels via a viscous-type limited slip differential.

A noteworthy high-tech engine enhancement is its Variable Valve Event and Lift Control (VVEL) system, which adds extra power, yet improves fuel efficiency and provides cleaner exhaust emissions.

prepared on freshly-baked bread, sipping homemade lemonade and breathing in the natural beauty of the open ocean.

Onto a higher paced adventure - sort of - was a stop in Brigus.

One particular bridge was on my mind. The one that competitors in the Targa Newfoundland race fly over. The sign says 10 km/h. That’s not the case when drivers are blasting through the tiny waterfront community. But I wanted to be a part of the fun, even if I was at a complete standstill on the crossing.

A trip to Newfoundland wouldn’t be complete without at trip to Cape Spear; Canada’s easternmost point. Looking out into the Atlantic, another iceberg lazily floats by as the humpback whales are out and breathing. A cool ocean breeze blows the salty air around.

I could get used to this, along with the companionship of the 2015 Subaru Outback.

The 2015 Subaru Outback has a starting MSRP of $27,995. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

continued from page 19

An exceptionally good power-to-weight ratio allows an undersix second 0 to 100 km/hour acceleration time and puts this Z into elite sports car territory. Yet, when you consider its comparatively good fuel economy numbers and sane pricing, it’s still one of the smarter “expensive plaything” purchases.

In Canada, the Roadster is offered in a Touring trim with both 6-speed manual and 7-speed automatic transmissions. Touring automatic comes with both Sport and Navigation packages in Canada, but these packages are optional in the US. There’s also a basic (non-Touring) edition of the 370Z Roadster that sells for $41,470, south of the border.

Not too long ago, high-performance cars guzzled fuel, belched smog and were a workout to drive. Not so now, sports cars like the Nissan 370Z Roadster are surprisingly fuel-efficient, and environmentally friendly. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Its short windshield gives the Nissan 370Z a chopped racy appearance.

KEVIN KEW

Don’t let your child be an unrestrained projectile

By Keith Morgan

Car smashes are the leading cause of accidental death among children in British Columbia.

According to government statistics, every year more than 1,300 children under nine are injured or killed. Putting that in scary perspective, that’s the equivalent of around five elementary schools.

It’s estimated that the proper use of child car safety seats reduce the risk of injury by a massive 85 percent and death by 70 percent. Very frightening then to contemplate that around five percent of parents don’t put their children in seats and of those that do, more than half improperly install them.

It’s an issue to which I’m particularly attuned after the recent birth of my first grandson. I found myself grappling with a rear facing car seat – as legally required!

After a few bruised knuckles and bruised head from bashing it on the door frame, Francis was installed safely as was his seat.

For years, the BC Automobile Association Child Passenger Safety Program has provided solid information, resources and training to make ensure parents do install these lifesavers correctly (http://www. bcaa.com/road-safety/child-passengersafety/overview).

Now Volvo has produced a fabulous safety manual called Children & Cars, which is available free of charge at any Volvo dealership. Thoughtful and fascinating text imaginatively illustrated throughout with photos of child crash test dummies dressed in trendy attire.

It was penned for Sweden but the text in the Canadian version has been adapted to reflect our laws. While it is required here that children under 12 months must

be placed in a rear-facing seat, it’s acceptable for children aged one to transfer to a forward facing seat. The Swedes take issue with that and say it’s better they stay in a rear facing seat as long as possible, often beyond three years.

The booklet explains that a baby’s head is large and heavy in relation to the rest of its body but its neck is just not strong enough to deal with the forces that would rock it in a frontal collision. And a detailed diagram of how neck vertebrae develops sure bolsters that assertion. In fact, the author argues we probably all should travel backwards for safety’s sake!

This was a revelation: at a speed of just 40 km/h, a child that weighs only 30 kgs will suddenly weigh the equivalents of a tonne (1,000 kgs) in a collision. Imagine that baby as an unrestrained project . . . no don’t, it’s just too gruesome. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Load up that truck and head for camping fun such as a lake, ocean, or a river close by that you can plan hikes together. This will provide family activities for the day.

A good tent will make the trip that more enjoyable. If you don’t own one then here

it’s your first time out pick a spot that’s not too far, maybe about an hour away.

Check the internet for the best locations and book your spot to avoid disappointment when you get there. Most sites have attractive locations

will remember for a lifetime.

You don’t have to be an avid outdoorsman or spend a lot of money to go camping.

Load your truck with a good tent, warm sleeping bag, and good food and you are on the road to a good time. If

a few things to know about them, A-frame tents are usually smaller and can sleep two or three. They have a screened door and a small-screened window to keep mosquitos out. Remember to close the door after entering or exiting Follow us at:

or you will be sleeping with them. Most A-framed tents come with a fly, which is waterproof material to cover the outside of the tent. If you’re camping on the coast bring a heavy duty tarp to help with the rain.

Dome tents utilize flexible poles that provide a strong structure when completed and can withstand stronger winds. You can also have larger dome tents that can be separated into rooms with hanging walls.

Cabin style tents are much heavier but provide much more headroom and more space, the down side to these tents are they are heavy, so plan on driving right to your campsite and you will be ok.

I recommend shopping around to see the tent that best fits your needs remembering you need enough space for your family and gear. A sleeping pad or air mattress will help make a good sleeping bag feel more comfortable. Be sure to purchase one that is full length so you are not constantly rolling off during the night.

Preparing food is fun. For

safety’s sake, make sure you set up your stove in a level area to avoid any mishaps.

If it’s your first time then bring foods that are simple to prepare. A typical propane stove has two burners and a propane tank attached to the side. These are easy to clean and just as easy to pack away.

Remember to bring lots of garbage bags so you can either take it home with you or use proper facilities at your campsite. Be sure to put your food away in your car preferably so as not to attract unwanted animals. Clean the area before you go to give the next person the same experience you enjoyed on your camping adventure.

Fast becoming one of the most popular summer blooming perennials, crocosmias are a delight in our gardens for many reasons.

Formerly known as montbretias, they are related to Brian freesias, ixias MINTER and sparaxis.

Native to many areas of southern Africa, they love well-drained soils and hot sunny locations, and they are very drought tolerant. It is critical to plant them in open porous soils so they can mul-

tiply and to prevent excessive winter rains from rotting the corms. Hardy to Zone 6, they will do well even in colder parts of the eastern Valley, but in very exposed areas, a little mulching will ensure their survival.

It’s wonderful to have a good source for cut flowers in our summer gardens, and cut crocosmias last for almost two weeks in a vase.

Their warm summer colours of reds, oranges and yellows blend well with other cuts, creating great potential for amazing combinations.

Crocosmias naturalize well, are ideal for background Continued: COLOUR/ p27

Reds are the most popular colour, and the very tall ‘Lucifer’ is, by far, the most spectacular crocosmias.

See for yourself!

esting combinations.

Two short varieties, ‘Little Redhead’ and ‘Miss Scarlet’, have arrived on the market recently. Both are brilliant reds but grow only 61cm (24”) tall. They’re ideal for smaller gardens and spaces. ‘Emily McKenzie’ has intense orange blooms with striking red throats and is one of my favourites. It grows to about 76cm (30”) tall and has particularly long blooming flowers.

Crocosmia ‘Burnt Umber’ is a very nice

brick red colour with a stunning yellow throat, and it grows to about 91cm (36”) tall. I love its bronze foliage. ‘George Davidson’ is a beautiful golden yellow and grows much lower at 45cm (18”) and is very long blooming.

‘Solfatare’, with bronze foliage complementing its golden yellow flowers, is a RHS award winner, and it too is much shorter, about the same height as ‘George Davidson’.

Many of these gorgeous varieties are sel-

plantings, and the red varieties attract hummingbirds and bees.

You’ll find them in bud and bloom in garden stores right about now, and you can expect them to bloom from July to September once they are well established.

The great thing is you can see various colours at this time of year and combine them with other sun loving perennials for a delightful show.

They can be planted

in spring as corms, but the selection of varieties is usually not as large as it is at this time of year.

Reds are the most popular colour, and the very tall ‘Lucifer’ is, by far, the most spectacular.

Local cadet training in Vernon Army Cadet Gavin Juriet of Chilliwack is in the final week of training in the threeweek Basic Expedition Course at Vernon Army Cadet Summer Training Centre (VACSTC) where he has been learning the fundamentals of expedition training.

Juriet is a member of 1725 Royal Canadian Army Cadet Corps (Engineers), Chilliwack.

Included in the training are lessons on how to select and navigate a route using maps, how to pack for an expedi-

Patio DINING

tion, how to establish a daily routine, how to ride a mountain bike on trails and how to paddle a canoe on flat water.

The training was used during a five-day expedition in the hills overlooking the Okanagan Valley. The cadets also completed a swim test, and learned emergency first aid.

For relaxation, the cadets spent a day sightseeing and shopping in Vernon and an afternoon at Kin Beach on Okanagan Lake.

All three-week basic courses (leadership, sports and fitness,

marksmanship, military band, pipes and drums and expedition) will end with a graduation parade on July 25 on Sicily Square at VACSTC. Reviewing officer for the parade will be Lieutenant Colonel Kevin Tyler, the Commanding Officer of the Rocky Mountain Rangers.

During the summer, more than 1,200 Army Cadets from western Canada will have spent up to six weeks in the Okanagan Valley training centre, expanding the training they receive at their home

Cadets make valuable contributions to Canadian society on a daily basis in terms of environmental, citizenship and community activities. Cadets also learn valuable life and work skills such as teamwork, leadership and citizenship.

Different ff ways to llearn The three learning styles used most often in golf can be identified as visual, kinesthetic and auditory, writes Jennifer Greggain In todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column, Chilliwack Golf Academy A cademy instructor Jennifer Greggain talks about the different ways in which ggolfers olfers learn.

The Huskers hope an aggressive defence helps them stay with the high-tempo Okanagan Sun when the BCFC season opens this weekend. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

Hopeful Huskers host Sun Stadium these days.

But much of that disappears in a hurry with a lopsided loss.

A reversal of fortune for a Husker team thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s won just three of its last 40 regular season games should start with the defence.

A linebacker with impact-player potential could make a difference.

Winnipeg native Jesse Di Fonti is expected to start right away. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He played for Oak Park, one of the better programs in the league,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got eventual CIS size and potential and heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a hard hitter whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not afraid to step into the holes and mix it up.â&#x20AC;?

Brody Slagman is back after twice being named the BCFCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s defensive player of the

Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Valley Huskers kick off the 2014 junior football season with a titanic test, hosting the Okanagan Sun Saturday night at Exhibition Stadium.

Kickoff is 7 p.m. for the BC Football Conference opener, which pits the Huskers against a team with national championship hopes.

The BCFC hosts the Canadian Bowl in early November, and the Sun believe theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good enough to win it all.

They will provide a true measuring stick for what Huskers rookie head coach Adam Smith hopes he has accomplished.

He feels heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had a good offseason on the recruiting trail, and thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an upbeat feel around Exhibition

week in 2013.

Another Abby import, Nick Hood, has impact player potential on the defensive line.

Standing six-footthree and weighing 285 pounds, he could be a run stopping terror. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He got a little frustrated at one of our practices, picked a 285 pound offensive lineman clean off the ground and threw him aside like he was nothing,â&#x20AC;? Smith said with a chuckle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a little raw, but his strength could make him a very good nose-tackle type.â&#x20AC;?

Smith also mentions returning defensive back Hayden Jeffries. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are expecting big things from him at half back,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He is one of the biggest hitters

on our team and will be counted on for not only coverage skills this year but also big things in some blitz packages designed for him.â&#x20AC;?

New and returning players will be slotted into a defensive scheme that will be big on aggressiveness and misdirection.

Corey Hamade, Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offensive coordinator last year, has switched to the defensive side of the ball with some big ideas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a surprise, so I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to let the cat out of the bag,â&#x20AC;?

Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seen any junior team use, a really interesting concept. For the offenses we face, I expect to see a lot of confusion.â&#x20AC;?

With luck, that starts Saturday.

As golf instructors, we are trained not only how to analyze the golf swing, but also how to communicate with w ith our students.

Every student learns in a different style. If we are able to understand each studentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learning styles, instructors are better able to communicate with their students.

Human beings learn through all of their senses. For most people one or two of their senses are used primarily to communicate and learn a new skill.

The three learning styles used most often in golf can be identified as visual, kinesthetic and auditory.

Understanding which is your dominant learning sense can be very helpful in your improvement.

For students who are visual learners, they respond the best with images. In general, they like to read instructions, or imitate models they see. Visual learners appear as vvery ery organized individuals, taking lots of notes. They also taking pride in dressing nicely, often in bright coloured clothing.

In golf, visual learners appreciate the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;lookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of a good golf swing, and may be distracted with non-conventional looking swings.

They may also respond to how a golf club looks to them. Training aides that offer visual stimulus are best, such as using alignment sticks to help with aim. Video analysis may also be a powerful tool for visual learners.

Kinesthetic learners learn best by â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;doing.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; They often donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read instructions, but would rather put things together as they go. They often choose clothing by comfort rather than look, and may appear less

organized that the visual learner.

Kinesthetic golfers respond to how w solidly golf shots are struck and how w they feel.

Training aides that allow the golfer to feel different positions in the golf swing, such as foam noodles to help define swing plane are helpful.

Impact drills are also ideal, as this helps improve the overall solidness of shots.

Finally, auditory learners learn best by listening to instructions.

They love to listen to music in the background and work place, and they prefer to wear clothing made forr movement.

In their golf swings, auditory learners are highly aware of the sound a shot makes. They are also sensitive to movement, and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;tempoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; of the golff swing. They respond to how fast orr slow the golf swing feels. Tempo drills are great for auditory learners.

Do any of these sound familiar to you? Many people have one highlyy dominant learning style. For others, they may have one slightly dominantt learning style, along with a secondary learning style.

Identifying and understanding your learning style is very helpful in your day to day activities as well as your golf game. Your instructorr can help you identify which are yourr dominant learning styles, which will help determine what learning environment is best for you.

Rising Stars Basketball Academy gets a Cascades twist

If you happened to wander into Abbotsford’s Harr y Sayers elementar y school gym on any Wednesday night in the late spring/early summer you may have seen UFV Cascades men’s basketball coach Adam Friesen sitting crosslegged on the floor among middle school children.

You may have seen six-foot-six Cascades forward Nate Brown shooting hoops with kids barely half his size.

It’s all in a week’s play for those involved in the Rising Stars Basketball Academy, a new program for middle school students in the Lower Mainland that is committed to ‘no barriers’ access for each and every child in a school

community.

The founder of RSBA, Upkar Tatlay, began the program only a year ago, but has seen it grow explosively.

“The first week we started out with 10 children,” said Tatlay, whose program starts up again in September.

“By the next week we had a line-up down the block around the school, just by word of mouth!” Since that incredible start, Tatlay has had to limit enrolment to 50 kids for each of his locations in Abbotsford and Surrey, and yet RSBA still has a wait-list approaching 400 kids.

His secret, if it can be called that, is to make the camps as accessible as possible (free of charge), and safe for all kids (RSBA is also an LGBTQ safe site).

“We want to engage all the children, altogether at the same time, participating in sport, learning good ethics, values, and just knocking out all the barriers,” said Tatlay, who so far has financed the program largely from his own pocket.

It was this dedication to RSBA, and Tatlay’s commitment to the kids he coaches, that deeply impressed UFV coach Adam Friesen during his first conversation with Tatlay in late 2013.

Invited to Harry Sayers simply to give a 10-minute speech on sportsmanship, Friesen happily obliged, and then stuck around for the rest of the session to help coach. Tatlay was impressed, and the two formed a mutual respect that paved the way for further collabo-

ration.

After Christmas Friesen invited Tatlay to bring the kids in his program to a UFV home game, free of charge.

A few weeks later the Cascades coach was back at Harry Sayers elementary, a trip that he and UFV players Kevon Parchment and Nate Brown have made at least once a month since.

Their impact as coaches, and as role models, is something that Tatlay just finds astounding.

“Adam and a couple of his players have been so amazing coming back at least once a month and working with the kids,” said Tatlay. “[Friesen’s] involvement has been so great that at the session last Wednesday I asked the kids, joking around, ‘Who’s your favourite coach?’ and a couple of them put up their hands and said ‘Coach Adam!’”

The relationship built between the children and the Cascades has been powerful on both

sides.

“I just learned to respect [Tatlay] and the fact that he’s doing this non-profit for kids,” said Friesen. “He treats the kids so nicely, and the support workers he brings with him are great people. It’s not just basketball, each week there’s a theme and lessons, and they talk about respect or whatever the theme is for that week … it’s something I’d never really seen before, and it caught my eye and I really enjoyed it.”

By all indications, RSBA is going to expand significantly before the 10 month program begins again, and both Tatlay and Friesen are hoping to continue their cooperation.

Tatlay has only good things to say about the Cascades, whether remembering a speech given by the soft-spoken Parchment to the camp, or even the time Brown dunked on him during a one-on-one match in front of the kids.

Fitness

Keep the fitness fire burning In my last article I explored the first three stages in the Stages of Change Model and their applications in health and fitness. The first stage, Pre-contemplation, describes someone who has not thought about adopting healthy lifestyle habits. In the second stage, contemplation, one is thinking about change, but is not ready to act. The third stage is preparation.

Preparation describes one who may have tried to change in the past

year, may already be making small changes, or intends to change in the next few weeks.

Today I will focus on the last two stages, Action and Maintenance.

The fourth stage, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Actionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, describes someone who has recently started exercising, or changing eating habits, likely in the past 6 months.

If you are in the action stage, you may be experiencing one or more different emotions: excitement, high

levels of motivation, disbelief that you are actually committing to exercise, fear of failure, and for some, fear of success.

T h e Action Stage can be exciting, but the risk for relapsing back Tanja to old SHAW habits is high.

M a n y people, for example, those who set a goal at New Year to get fit, fall of the wagon within a few weeks of starting a program.

If you are new to exercise, enlist a support network to keep you on track. Family and friends, a fitness coach or a group training program can provide the support and accountability to push you into the next phase of change.

The final stage is â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Maintenanceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;.

Maintenance describes someone who has been able to stick to an exercise program for a significant length of time.

If you are in this stage, congratulations!

You have adopted healthy habits and will likely maintain them for life. The key to progressing once in the maintenance stage is to continue setting goals, and to add variety to your program to keep your routine interesting. Having a support network is also beneficial in the maintenance phase to ensure your continued success!

Whether you are in the action or maintenance phase of fitness, set goals and enlist support to keep you headed in the right direction!

Cummings, Jean Annie

Kemp

Mar 25, 1927 July 19, 2014-07-24

Left us suddenly and unexpectedly last Saturday afternoon in Chilliwack.

Jean was born in Kamloops BC, and grew up during the depression and second world war. She met her husband and married there. She had lived in Chilliwack since 1974 and worked in the Chilliwack courthouse until her retirement. Jean and Gordon both loved to golf, and she was particularly attracted to the arts, especially theatre and the symphony. She loved to cook as well, something that will be sadly missed by her children.

After retirement, Jean volunteered in the community as a member of the Chilliwack hospital volunteer services league, PEO, and Probis. She was still fairly active at 87 and young in outlook for her age, which often surprised friends of her children.

Jean was predeceased by her husband Gordon (1981) and her sisters Ruth , Mary, and Francis. Survivors left behind include her children Chris and Lee Cummings, sister Rita Wilson (George), brother Hector Hannah (Shirley), and her sister in law Jean S. Cummings.

A Private memorial gathering will be held later.

Mrs. Violet Kemp late of Abbotsford BC, formerly of Chilliwack, passed away peacefully on July 1 at the age of 78, after a courageous battle with cancer.

She is survived by her husband of 48 years, Edward; her 4 sons, Doug (Beryl), Brad (Debbie), Derrick, Brian and daughter, Melody (Grant). She leaves behind 12 grandchildren and 3 great grandchildren.

Vi was a great supporter of her kids and grandkids and could often be seen at the hockey rink and the baseball fields in Chilliwack. Vi loved gardening and watching the birds in her yard. She enjoyed traveling and spending time at their trailer in Birch Bay. A Celebration of her life will be held on Saturday, August 9, 2014 at 11:30 am.at Henderson’s Funeral Homes and Crematorium, 45901 Victoria Avenue, Chilliwack, BC. A reception will follow at Fire Hall #1, 45950 Cheam Ave. Tributes and condolences may be left at www.hendersonsabbotsfordfunerals.com.

OBITUARIES

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Doris Roberta Boris (Nee Ritchie) Doris was born in Edmonton on February 27th, 1934, passed away July 19, 2014 and was the youngest of three daughters born to Robert and Emma Ritchie.

Voth, Margarita â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ritaâ&#x20AC;?

In 1936 the family moved to a small farm in Langley, BC, where she and her sisters Agnes and Jean, both pre-deceased, had a happy childhood, They enjoyed school and played on many community-sporting teams such as softball and badminton.

Doris was rewarded with the title â&#x20AC;&#x153;Miss Athleteâ&#x20AC;? in recognition of her participation and fundraising for her teams.

Margarita Voth passed away on Wednesday, July 16, 2014 in Abbotsford, B.C. at the age of 88 years. She was born August 10, 1925 in Grande Prairie, Alberta. A loving, caring wife and mother, Rita is survived by her (husband) Henry, (children) Roma, Lois and Calvin (grandchildren) Kristie, Brett, Jason, Garrett, Drew and Julia, (siblings) Rosanna, Herta, Art, Arnold and Frieda. She was predeceased by her (parents) Heinrich and Helena Sawatzky, (siblings) Dick, Tom, Edward, Erna and Elma. A Funeral service and interment were held on 22 July, 2014 in Chilliwack at Henderson Funeral and Chilliwack Cemetery.

Memorial messages maybe left for the family at website found at www.hendersonsfunerals.com .Please visit and leave a memory a thought or story that you may have of Rita.

Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Homes & Crematorium in care of arrangements, 604-792-1344. www.hendersonsfunerals.com

In 1951 Doris married Raymond Alexander Boris, pre-deceased, and they moved to Chilliwack where they raised three daughters, Patty, Lynne and Garnell. Doris and Ray started a refrigerated trucking business and built it to one of the largest independently owned trucking companies in western Canada.

During the late 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and early 1970â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Doris and Ray rekindled their childhood interest in horses, with interests in varying aspects of horses and riding. Their initial motivation may have been selfserving with three daughters, as Doris said â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are less likely to get in trouble on the back of a horse then in the back seat of a carâ&#x20AC;?.

Their activities expanded beyond horse show participation for their daughters, to include racing thoroughbreds at Hastings Park in Vancouver, sponsoring chuck wagon racing in Calgary and winning the American Chuck Wagon Championship in Wyoming in 1973, and finally the Buggy Club in Chilliwack, which Doris supported for many years with her organizational skills. She helped plan many of their get togethers and reunions by coming up with fun activities and making great food.

Doris will be remembered for her joy of life, ready sense of humour, and sometimes wickedly funny one-liners.

She was immensely proud of her daughters and was a loving and devoted grandmother to Mindy, Bill and Karissa and to her great grandson Gavin. When her nieces and nephews needed love and support her heart opened for them too.

Dorisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family will be remembering her in a private service.

Donations can be made to her memory at the website of the Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Society of BC.
