No leads in dumped asbestos case Jessica Peters The Progress A pile of asbestos that was dumped in the Chilliwack River Valley has been disposed of by the ministry of environment.

But there is no active investigation into the illegal dumping of the hazardous material, the MoE told The Progress via email.

“Conser vation Officer Ser vice received information about the dumped asbestos, but does not have an active investigation on this file as there are no clear suspects or witnesses,” the email states.

The asbestos was discovered earlier in June, near entrance ...There are no the to Chipmunk clear suspects Creek. It followed a disor witnesses covery earlier this year of a ~ Ministry of dumped cabin style environment cruiser boat on a side road in the same valley.

Since then, residents have increased vigilance and are actively watching for, recording and reporting all suspicious vehicles and activities in the area.

The ministry added that the COS is working with volunteer groups and local government to “to try and address the issue of illegal dumping in the Fraser Valley.”

They confirmed that ministry staff attended the site of the asbestos dump on June 17, and the Environment Emergency Response Officer inspected the contents of the bags. At least two dozen bags marked as containing asbestos, in the proper packaging disposal, were left at the roadside. The bags were removed on June 18 and disposed of.

Orion Engar, FVRD director for Area E, said it’s unfortunate the dumping can’t be traced more effectively, because

Canada Day a time to celebrate in Chilliwack Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Food, family time and fun are in store for Canada’s birthday in Chilliwack, July 1.

But there are a few minor changes this year.

The excitement starts, as usual, at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast served by local Kiwanis Club members at Evergreen Hall.

The Chilliwack Community Band and local dignitaries will be on-hand to kick off the celebration officially, and then people will wander off do their thing until the early evening.

“One of the major changes this year is the decision not to hold

any scheduled daytime activities during the celebration,” says organizer Trevor McDonald.

“Some people will be spending time with families and friends during the day, and then coming back at five for the best stage show ever.”

The 2015 Canada Day event is being made possible by a partnership between City of Chilliwack, the O’Connor Group and local entertainer Trevor McDonald.

Gates open at Townsend Park at 5 p.m, and the show starts at 5:45 on the dot.

They assembled a great team and the Chances Entertainment Stage show will not disappoint, he promises.

“We’re doing everything we

can to make it the best night show that we’ve every had,” said McDonald.

“Nothing is halfway. It’s going to be over the top!”

The stage talent includes: Curbside Traditional Jazz Band, Country star Todd Richard, the Goddess Movement, the rocking Hayley Chase and the Fever, and a special tribute to Canadian music with Bobby Bruce and Canadian-A. Then comes the pièce de résistance, the crowd favourite, the fireworks. The way it’s set up, people won’t have to move too far and will stay on-site at Townsend Park to take in the ever-popular fireworks.

the pancake breakfast, are taking place at Townsend Field this year.

“In the past, you watched entertainment at the grandstand and then had to move to Townsend Park for the fireworks. Not this year, it’s a onestop party!”

Also for the first time this year, public seating, blankets and lawn chairs will be allowed on the football field at Townsend.

“Come early to stake out the best seats on the grass.”

There’s something a little different to go along with the exciting fireworks display, which will light up the sky under the watchful eye of Kevan Siggs.

Firefighters battle Harrison blaze as campfire ban issued Lorene Keitch Black Press A forest fire burning on the shores of Harrison Lake was still about half a hectare in size

by Thursday morning.

Fire Information of ficer Donna McPherson says the fire, which was human-caused, is not threatening any structures.

The fire is within the Harrison Hot Springs Fire Department jurisdiction, but they called in provincial coastal fire crew for assistance on the steep slopes.

“Last night we sent air tankers to box the fire in,” says McPherson, explaining what the red material was being dumped from the planes.

On Thursday, an initial attack crew of three and a unit crew of 15 was set to be on the ground to work on putting out the blaze.

McPherson says at this time,

or gaseous fuel, so long as the height of the flame is less than 15 cm.

All other types of open fires remain prohibited throughout the Coastal Fire Centre’s jurisdictional area, including backyard burning or land-clearing burn piles. Burning barrels, burning cages, fireworks, firecrackers, sky lanterns and binary exploding targets are also prohibited.

Anyone found in contravention of an open burning prohibition may be issued a ticket for $345, required to pay an administrative penalty of $10,000 or, if convicted in court, fined up to $100,000 and/or sentenced to one year in jail. If the contravention causes or contributes to a wildfire, the person responsible may be ordered to pay all firefighting and associated costs.

they don’t know what specifically caused the fire to start nor do they have a timeline on when it will be put out.

Meanwhile, a campfire ban was announced Thursday for much of the Costal Fire Region, including the Chilliwack area.

This prohibition covers all BC Parks, Crown lands and private lands, the ministry said in a statement.

The campfire ban is being blamed on dry forest fuel conditions and rising temperatures.

It is intended to help prevent human-caused wildfires and protect public safety, and it will remain in effect until the public is notified otherwise, the ministry said.

This prohibition does not apply to CSA-rated or ULCrated cooking stoves that use gas, propane or briquettes, or to a portable campfire apparatus that uses briquettes, liquid

Rolling up the sleeves for better trails KPU inks

deal with pipeline firm for $300,000

Tax receipts now available for park donors Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The call for volunteers to start building a trail in the Community Forest Park project was heard loud and clear across Chilliwack.

Volunteers with Chilliwack Park Society have now completed about 800 metres of the 2.5-km beginner trail in the Eastern Hillsides.

“The response from volunteers has been large enough that we planned an earlier trail day last Monday night,” said park society member Marc Greidanus.

Part of the challenge now for the group is the fact that grant deadlines did not work with project timing.

The park project did not get the green light by a March deadline. They still hope to be over halfway completed on the beginner trail by September, so the group will be relying heavily on donations for this initial phase.

The Community Forest Park project on Allan Road is estimated to cost $102,000 with about half the funding coming from City of Chilliwack.

The park society wants the public to know City of Chilliwack can issue charitable receipts for any community forest park donations.

“This is huge for us!” said Greidanus. “Watching things

Cheques made out to City of Chilliwack, can be labelled ‘Chilliwack Park Society’ and either be dropped off at the city finance department or to park society members at the upcoming Trail Day, set for July 19 at 1 p.m. at 51996 Allan Road.

The long-term plan is to build a trail system, connecting Bridal Falls Provincial Park, to the Community Forest Park, eventually linking up to the Elk-Thurston saddle and Ryder

Lake.

The beginner trail at 2.5 km will be wide and gradual, accessible to all fitness levels. The moderate trail at 7 km will feature slightly steeper grades, and looping options.

The idea is also to help encourage people to get outdoors, actively exploring the local mountainsides, said Greidanus, whose day job is as a local physician at the hospital.

“The Chilliwack Park Society would like to express our sincere thanks for the generous support of Mayor Sharon

Gaetz and Council, as well as city staff.

“Our interactions with everyone from Mayor Gaetz to the accounting clerks in the finance department have been overwhelmingly positive. Glen MacPherson and city parks staff have provided specific expertise as well as practical and efficient solutions.”

The access road to the new park has been graded and gravelled by city crews.

“They have also delivered gravel for us to use and started on the parking lot,” he said. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Kwantlen Polytechnic University academic vice-president Salvador Ferreras said he had no ethical qualms about signing a benefits agreement with Kinder Morgan that will bring $300,000 to the institution over 20 years if the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion is approved.

“None at all,” he said, adding the decision was about putting the interests of students first. “We as a university do not have a position on the Trans Mountain pipeline at all.”

The agreement unveiled Tuesday at KPU’s Langley campus is the latest in Trans Mountain’s efforts to conclude benefit deals with local cities and post-secondary institutions in the name of delivering “legacies” with the project but also demonstrating local support.

Each new deal adds more local projects and funding that hinge on whether the new pipeline is ultimately approved.

The $300,000 earmarked for Kwantlen consists mainly of scholarships and bursaries for KPU trades and technology students, and to help fund KPU’s Environmental Protection Technology lab, which the company may gain naming rights over.

“We see this as an added opportunity for those students,” Ferreras said. “Our environmental protection technology students Continued: XKJ/ pXx

Pop-up piano coming to Wellington Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack is about to get its first public piano to add to the atmosphere downtown.

“It has become a real community effort to make this happen,” said Leonard Wiens, general manager at the Royal Hotel.

Sometimes playable pianos get a new lease on life when they are painted and installed in downtown streets, such as with the Vancouver program known as Keys to the Streets.

“I saw something about that program, and thought, ‘Why not here in Chilliwack?’

With Keys to the Streets, 10 pianos in Vancouver were repurposed this way last summer and installed in public places to inspire creativity. The street piano concept has also hit Montreal, Toronto and New York City.

“There are so many things that make our downtown unique, and this can only add to the ambiance,” Wiens said.

These pop-up pianos in Vancouver offer folks a way to relax and enjoy the street vibe with a little live music, said

Wiens.

Players can come by, sit down and tickle the ivories at will.

Chilliwack’s apartment sized upright piano was donated by a couple who was downsizing in Langley.

“The plan is for it to sit outside the hotel on the sidewalk,” said Wiens.

They’re going to use a custom-made dolly on castors to transport it.

The plan is to secure it on Wellington Avenue near Mill Street, and to bring it indoors when need be.

“We think it’s going to be a neat project, and will undoubtedly bring more interest to our downtown core.”

The piano has been temporarily housed down the street at Cyrus Centre Chilliwack. They are contributing to the cause by painting the piano artistically. It was personalized with the help of Cyrus youth residents.

“I’m sure it will be nice to have a piano on the street. Sure there will be some Chopsticks or children trying it out.

“But at other times it will be someone who can really play.”

They will sit down at the keys and offer an

impromptu concert to the enjoyment of passersby, playing Mozart or other famous composers’ works, he suggested.

They’re working on getting a cover to protect the piano, and they installed an anchor into the sidewalk.

“The City of Chilliwack has been very supportive of the project, providing the space for the piano to be anchored on Wellington Plaza.”

Community members and businesses have really stepped up as well to help bring the project to fruition.

“In terms of cost it’s been minimal and several have contributed to the cause,” said Wiens.

Here are some of the generous donors who’ve contributed to make the project happen: Walt’s Metal Work built the dolly to transport the piano, and a steel fabricating company in Abbotsford contributed the steel. Fortins Home Hardware contributed the paint, while Pioneer Buildall contributed the castors. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Jeff Nagel Black Press Student leaders have condemned Kwantlen Polytechnic University’s decision to accept a $300,000 contribution over 20 years from Kinder Morgan if its Trans Mountain pipeline twinning proceeds.

The Kwantlen Student Association said it opposes the agreement that would see the pipeline company give about $15,000 a year in scholarships for trades and technology students.

“KPU’s acceptance of this money amounts to a tacit endorsement of the pipeline

project,” said KSA vice-president Alex McGowan, adding the pipeline poses “unacceptable risks” and would contribute to the acceleration of climate change.

Students say they weren’t consulted and the move makes a mockery of the university’s commitment to sustainability and the aboriginal group for which it is named.

“KPU students want nothing to do with this project,” added KSA president Allison Gonzalez. “We are shocked at this agreement.”

KPU academic vice-president Salvador Ferreras said Tuesday the money would aid students pursuing jobs

KPU’s namesake, is an intervenor before the National Energy Board opposing the pipeline expansion.

Spokesman Brandon Gabriel Kwelexwecten said the deal “flies in the face” of KPU pledges to closely collaborate with the first nation.

Trans Mountain is pursuing benefits agreements with various municipalities and post-secondar y institutions.

So far Thompson Rivers University is the only other school to have accepted one.

All the benefits agreements are contingent on the pipeline being approved.

in industry and said he had no ethical qualms about the agreement, insisting KPU wasn’t taking a position on the pipeline.

Alumni are also speaking out.

“I have never been so embarrassed to be a Kwantlen grad,” said Justine Nelson.

“Many consider this type of ‘generosity’ to be a bribe,” she said. “While the university states it has no stance on the pipeline, it has a duty to consider the effects this expansion will have, and not succumb to Kinder Morgan’s attempts to buy support of local communities.”

CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1

QUESTION: Is it true you can achieve a soft face lift with the use of cosmetic fillers? Will the results look natural?

- Jane, Aldergrove

ANSWER: As we age the bones of the face actually soften back as does the fat in the fat pockets of the face. At the same time our skin expands due to the effects of natural aging. In other words the table cloth is now too big for the table.

With the Soft Lift we combine the smoothing effect of Botox with the filling effect of Juvederm fillers. The result is a natural looking lift with no downtime, done in just one treatment!

wait for a final recommendation on the pipeline twinning from the National Energy Board.

Critics had argued that offer had the appearance of a “bribe” because Chilliwack had not yet filed its comments on the project to the NEB. Kinder Morgan has benefit deals worth $5 million with 18 other

municipalities along the pipeline route from Hope to northern Alberta. Money promised would go to various local improvements, such as parks, trails and water system upgrades.

The agreements are all contingent on the project getting NEB approval.

Parsons Bell denied the company is pressing

for early agreements to help neuter public opposition to the pipeline as the NEB process nears the oral hearing stage.

She said doing deals early helps the company plan and potentially arrange to have pipeline project workers do the local improvements while they’re in the area.

would be working on these types of projects anyway. This is one of their career paths. We feel we should be giving the opportunity to those students who need those chances.”

He said KPU is willing to organize a formal dialogue about the issue if students or faculty are upset about the agreement.

Trans Mountain project officials said the KPU money is primarily a benefits legacy, but add it’s conceivable some students benefitting from scholarships could go through a program there in time to work on the project.

Kinder Morgan spokesperson Lizette Parsons Bell defended the KPU partnership when asked if it could be seen as co-opting the school or its students.

She noted Trans Mountain has worked with UBC’s engineering department for more than 15 years.

“Businesses have partnered with educational institutions for probably as long as educational institutions have been around,” Parsons Bell said.

“It’s just another way to provide legacies for those communities in which you operate.”

Thompson Rivers University also signed an agreement in April for $500,000 in contributions.

Parsons Bell confirmed Trans Mountain has had “conversations” with officials at the University of the Fraser Valley and Simon Fraser University, but could not provide the status of any talks.

Talks are also underway and in varying degrees of progress with Lower Mainland cities along the pipeline route – Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Langley Township, Surrey and Coquitlam – with the exception of Burnaby, which has refused to talk to the company.

The most advanced was Chilliwack, where city council last month voted to defer signing off on a deal that would have seen Trans Mountain contribute $800,000 for a pedestrian walkway. Council there now intends to

A call for caution

R AESIDE

The cloud of dust trailing behind a farm tractor might not be unique on the prairies, but in Chilliwack – in June – it is an unusual sight.

But it is indicative of just how dry it’s been around here. The two months of April and May were the driest on record. June looks like it is headed the same direction, with barely a sprinkle throughout the month.

Coupled with the heat, the lack of moisture is adding one more challenge for farmers.

But it is also creating a substantial fire risk.

On Wednesday fire crews were called out to Harrison Lake after a human-caused fire burned about half a hectare.

Chilliwack firefighters, meanwhile, have been kept busy chasing bark mulch and grass fires – mostly caused by errant cigarette butts tossed by unthinking motorists.

They were out on Tuesday, dousing an unattended campfire by the Vedder River.

Such actions are literally playing with fire.

High temperatures and dry fuel loads are a dangerous combination. It doesn’t take much to turn a smoldering cigarette butt into a costly and dangerous fire.

It is carelessness that carries a real cost: Consider the impact one cigarette butt had on the town of Barrier a few years ago.

On Thursday, the Coastal Fire Centre issued a campfire ban for most parts of the region. The dry weather and soaring temperatures make the risk too great.

The fire ban should also provide a reminder to particularly careful.

We all share the parks, forests and trails that make Chilliwack such a special place to live.

It would be a shame to lose any of them because of a moment of thoughtlessness. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Cost of climate change will be more than hot days As we head into a scorcher of a weekend, climate scientists are warning that 2015 could be the warmest year globally on record.

The U.S. based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has reported that the period January to April has already surpassed all previous records. Global land and sea surface temperatures were 0.80 degrees C above the 20th century average.

Nine countries have experienced record high temperatures so far. El Nino is expected to influence even higher global temperatures, and scientists now wonder if this could be the end of that alleged 18-year global warming “pause”. But according to the National Center for Atmospheric Research, while the increase in global surface temperatures may seem to have slowed, since 2000 the oceans have taken up more heat and warmed, Arctic sea ice

continues to melt and sea levels continue to rise.

All that heat dovetails with what’s happening in B.C. and in Chilliwack.

“There were 41 record breaking high temperature records in 2014,” said Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. “To date Margaret in 2015 we are (already) now up EVANS to 35 high temperature records. On June 15 the record high minimum was 16.1 degrees C, 5 degrees above normal. The previous record high was 15.0 degrees C in 1903. The record high mean (temperature) was 24.05 degrees C, 8.35 degrees C above normal. The previous record was 22.8 degrees

C in 1963.”

Pannett added that June continues to be the warmest on record, the previous mean highs of 18.8 degrees C occurring in 1958, 1967, and 1969.

Then there is the worrisome lack of rain. Chilliwack had the driest April/May on record since 1879 with a combined rainfall total of 93.5 mm. As at 23 June, this is the driest June so far on record with just 8.1 mm of rain on three days.

Coping with climate change is going to be all about adaptability. This month, Simon Fraser University’s Adaptation to Climate Change Team released their report: Paying for Urban Infrastructure Adaptation in Canada.

They didn’t mince words.

Adaptation is going to be a massive challenge, worse if nothing is done.

“In the absence of adaptation,

estimates indicate that climate change may cost the people of Canada approximately $5 billion per year by 2020 and between $21 billion to $43 billion by 2050.

Local governments must therefore develop a clear understanding of anticipated climate change impacts in order to analyze the costs of inaction.”

These impacts are here, now, driven by anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The authors wrote that if emissions peaked this year and remained at current levels until 2100, atmospheric concentrations would exceed 550 ppm. To keep emissions under 450 ppm (currently at 400 ppm) means a 50 per cent reduction of emissions by 2050 and 80 per cent before 2100.

But energy consumption is driven 80 per cent by fossil fuels which is down only marginally from 84 per cent in 2005 despite increases in nuclear and renewable energy

sources. Fossil fuel use is expected to increase by approximately 45 per cent to 220 per cent over the period 2010 to 2035 when emissions will have increased to 43 million tons.

Adaptation is critical to cope with extreme storms, rain/snow events, or blistering heat. At the municipal level it may include the engineering of green/cool roofs, improved dykes and flood control, wetland preservation, backup power, permeable pavement, improved sewer systems, reservoir protection, and monitoring of road infrastructure to name just a few.

Nothing will be cheap. Local governments are going to need greater access to public money as well as public buy-in for most projects. Some may need to be public/ private ventures.

You think it’s hot now? Just wait.

Student bus fees the final straw Like many parents, I am faced with registering my child for school bus use in the coming year.

My surprise came when I discovered District 33 has again tried to charge parents for this service.

Not a few dollars, but hundreds!

This isn’t the first time they tried this. They dropped it after they were overwhelmed with irate parents but it seems they have short memories.

The school board claims they have no money. The Liberal government cuts funding. And we, the

parents, are caught in the middle; again. Well, I pay my property tax every year and receive very little for the money spent.

As someone who lives outside the city limits, I receive no access to public transit. My child’s school is 11 kilometres away. Does he have to walk?

It is time for us to say “NO” to more cutbacks. Certain things are optional in life but government is supposed to provide our children with an education and that includes providing a way for them

On line the timall e!

I only have one child to deal with but those with more than one are faced with even larger bills.

It is time to decide what government is required to provide rather than what they think they can get away with.

Trade deal a bad deal for dairy farmers that would flood over an opened border and would be forced to close our doors.

This would mean a great loss to Canada’s economy as well as our consumers, who have come to rely on the top quality milk we produce that abide by extremely high safety, environmental, and animal welfare standards.

I would be honoured if you would take the time to read more of my

thoughts in this blog post I wrote about this issue.

Even better, please share with your readers! The voice of Canada’s dairy farmers has been sadly lacking in the ongoing conversations about this issue, and I think it’s time that this oversight is corrected. http://inuddernews. com/2015/05/08/smbetter-than-ever/ Julaine Treur Creekside Dairy Agassiz, British Columbia

Change needed in election financing rules Much has been said lately about election reform. Two of the federal parties want to bring in “Proportional Representation”.

Jaxon McNulty wants to lower the voting age. But both of these options present problems.

The Province of Ontario defeated a Mixed Member Proportional Election in a referendum a couple of years ago. The Province of British Columbia defeated a Multiple Member First Past the Post alternative a decade ago. The biggest obstacle seemed to be the complicated method of counting.

Germany has worked on system that gives the voter two ballots. The first elects a member to represent a local constituency, much as what we have now in Canada. The second ballot is for a political party. This is where it gets complicated. The political parties are allowed to add to their constituency elected members from a party list until they reach the proportions achieved on the second

ballot. The total number of members in the parliament isn’t known until all the votes are counted. A variation of this system is to do away with local constituencies and have all the members chosen from a party list. But then the members are answerable to the party that appointed them instead of the constituents that might have elected them. We already have a class of appointed politician in this country.

We call them Senators.

I believe that the most vital reforms we can make to our voting system are in election financing. The current Elections Act disqualifies corporate, union or third party donations, and provides for Income Tax Credits for individuals to make donations of up to $1500.

Last year less than 1 per cent of all those who filed income tax forms claimed a credit for a political donation. The overwhelming majority of those claimants are rich, old, men. At a rate of over two to one they donated to only one party.

Is it any wonder that poor, young people don’t vote? No one pays any attention to them. Lowering the voting age won’t help.

When Jean Chretien first introduced those amendments to the Election Act he allowed for government financing of political parties to the tune of $2.00 per vote in the last election per year. If a party wanted more money it had to attract more voters. It provided the Green Party with enough funds to elect its first Member of Parliament. For the first time the New Democratic Party could afford a competitive campaign.

For the first time there was a balance between a party’s popularity and its financial support. Given time, I believe, the number of seats a party won would be proportional to the support they gained.

Unfortunately, in order to save money Stephen Harper cancelled the transfers from government to Political Parties.

Local Father’s Day event raises $20,000

e t a r b e l e C Canada Day! Lock’s will be closed Wednesday, July 1 for Canada Day.

It was a beautiful morning for the 4th annual Father’s Day Walk for Prostate Cancer. This year the major sponsor was Raymond James and the investment company was very well represented in the walk and volunteering, organizers said.

The event continues to grow with 103 runners and walkers took part in the event and raised in excess of $20,000, which was up considerably from last year. Similar B.C. events took place at Kamloops, Kelowna Victoria and Burnaby. In total over $300,000 was raised by the time of the walk with more coming in until June 30. The funds raised will go toward raising awareness about prostate cancer and research on the disease that affects one out of eight Canadian men.

The walk started at the former ASU and down the beautiful Rotary trail along the Vedder River. The first

More than $300,000 was raised at prostate events across B.C., including $20,000 in Chilliwack. SUBMITTED

runners were back from the 5 km run in just over 25 minutes and enjoyed a pancake breakfast supplied by Safeway and prepared by the Mt. Cheam Lion’s club.

The Father’s Day walk for

Prostate Cancer has been going on in B.C. for 18 years, and this was the fourth year for the event in Chilliwack.

The organizing committee, led by PCCN Chilliwack Chairman, Dale Erikson feels

that it was a success with more funds raised than last year and fantastic support from over 35 wonderful volunteers.

What better way to celebrate Father’s Day than by supporting research and creating awareness for a disease that every working day sees 12 B.C. men finding out that they have prostate cancer, Erikson said.

But early detection is the key to successful treatment.

Prostate Cancer Foundation B.C. and the prostate cancer Canada Network both recommend that men have a PSA test and a digital rectal exam after age 45. If you are in a high risk category, such as having African American heritage or have a history of PC in your family, then you should start at age 40.

Next year’s Father’s Day walk Run for prostate Cancer is scheduled for June 19, 2016.

Residents on guard after latest dumping DUMPING from page Front “fines being levied would be a strong deterrent.”

But he is pleased with how quickly the ministry removed the materials.

“The RAPP conservation hotline works!” he said.

Poachers and polluters can be reported by calling 1-877-952-7277, or #7277 on a cell phone.

Asbestos is found in many buildings, as it was used in the past in insulation. It’s believed it’s not harmful until it’s disturbed and removal is undertaken by qualified professionals. Transporting asbestos and other hazardous materials requires a lengthy manifest process, and illegal transportation and dumping can lead to heavy fines and jail time.

Asbestos is a group of minerals with microscopic fibers, which if breathed in can become trapped in the lungs for many years. Asbestos exposure is commonly linked to lung disease, lung cancer, COPD, asbestosis and several other conditions.

There are no suspects or leads regarding a large dump of asbestosfilled bags in the Chilliwack River Valley. SUBMITTED

Focus on food security earns UFV honour tidisciplinary study of agriculture and the environment as one of three program areas targeted for growth.

“Canada is a bit behind other countries when it comes to agriculture studies and research.

Agriculture is both a science and a high-tech industry and there is a real need for ongoing knowledge and innovation development.”

And although she may put on an activist hat on occasion when advocating for the preservation of farmland, her opinions are always grounded in her research.

ship on the study of sustainable food systems.

Newman has built a network of scholars connected to research into agriburbia, and created opportunities for UFV undergraduate students to participate in applied research.

“I strongly believe that we at UFV can excel at research relevant to this region that involves undergraduates directly,” she says. “My undergrads get the kind of opportunities that would go to graduate students at other institutions.

They work on projects, get published in partnership with faculty, do really solid research, and with that experience they get jobs.”

It’s not surprising that somebody as immersed as Newman in the study of agriculture and food is a bit of a foodie. She recently completed a book on Canada’s food culture titled Speaking in Cod Tongues: Exploring Canada’s Cuisine, and has literally eaten her way through many thousands of kilometers of travel.

“I saw beautiful places, ate wonderful food, and met great people,” she recalls. “Food can be a nation-building tool, and my book looks at how there is a national cuisine emerging in Canada.”

One of her favourite

approach that includes urban planning, tourism, business, economics, applied agriculture, geography, international development, and political science,” noted her colleague Garry Fehr, an associate professor in the Geography and the Environment department, in his letter nominating her for a research award.

“The dominant thread [in her work] is her ability to integrate complex theoretical concepts with contentious social issues of land development, food security, and food culture in ways that resonate with academia, local communities, industry, policy makers, non-governmental organizations and students.”

Part of her mandate as research chair is to examine food security concerns at the local, regional, and national levels.

“My team’s research is showing that there is a link between a vibrant farm sector and health, among other things,” she notes. “Having fresh, locally sourced fruits and vegetables available is an important influence on public wellness.”

Her research also indicates the importance of a healthy agricultural base to the Fraser Valley economy and culture, and to Canadian autonomy.

In addition to being in demand by media, Newman has seen her work regularly published in academic journals, with 20 published journal articles collectively being cited by other authors more than 600 times since 2010.

In 2014, she was invited to join the Royal Society of Canada’s College of New Scholars, Artists, and Scientists.

She was also recognized by the Devorah Kahn Foundation for her work on farmers’ markets, and by the Real Estate Foundation for leader-

Academia, applied research, and activism are all connected in the eyes of Dr. Lenore Newman.

When she accepted the role of Canada Research Chair in Food Security in the Environment at the University of the Fraser Valley, she knew she’d be focusing on research that is extremely relevant to the UFV region, and on topics that are at times contentious.

Her staunch defense of the principle of maintaining farmland placed in British Columbia’s Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), a position solidified after formal research into the 40-year history of the ALR, makes her a popular source for media commentary.

Newman is receiving the 2015 UFV Research Excellence award for her success in building a core of research activity focused on food security and agricultural issues.

“Before taking this job at UFV, my research never landed in the daily news,” recalls Newman, who is a faculty member in the UFV Geography and the Environment department. “But preserving farmland is so valuable economically and important culturally that it is a topic for major debate. Farmland is a big part of the identity of this valley. At the local level, the research my partners and I are conducting really matters!

“I love this region, and there is some activism inherent in my job because it is a fight.

Fraser Valley farmland is some of the best farmland in the world and it is too valuable to lose.”

Since arriving at UFV in 2011, Newman has led the establishment of the Agriburban Research Centre at UFV, which is dedicated to the study of landscapes on the edge of major urban areas, with a focus on creating thriving agricultural regions within cities.

With funding from the Abbotsford Community Foundation’s Agricultural Enhancement Grants program, Newman is leading a project titled Life in Agriburbia: 40 Years of the Agricultural Land Reserve, with a mandate research and exhibit the changes to the agricultural and environmental landscape in the Fraser Valley.

“Lenore has demonstrated keen insight by developing a centre that specializes in the linkages between rural and urban, plus incorporates a multidisciplinary

Did you know?

When you shop with local merchants, more of your money stays close to home; it supports the parks, recreation facilities, libraries and other things that make Chilliwack a great place to live. Also, many Chilliwack merchants give back in this community and how do they do that? By donating back some of the hard earned money you have spent with them (and that they’ve earned by presenting you with such fabulous products or service!). rvice!). They donate to community

services and programs, to schools or by sponsoring events that benefit us all.

By shopping locally your carbon footprint is diminished since you won’t be travelling out of town; even better maybe you can walk to your destination, bike there or hop our transit system with a friend. Local businesses strengthen our community, they build resilience and hopefully foster innovation. We need successful small

businesses to create jobs, support local charities, and to contribute significantly to our tax base. Let’s not forget the recirculation of the local dollars earned by each business using OTHER local businesses as suppliers for products and services themselves.

A great example of that is those of our restaurants that insist on the “100 mile diet” structure, which is that they try to incorporate food products that come from other local businesses in the area to have the freshest, no-

23

spray, even organic, items on their menu. There are local boutiques that choose to sell jewelery, stationery, even clothing, all made by local artisans.

Chilliwack is a community that celebrates the unique contribution that local businesses make. We appreciate small businesses that are reducing their environmental impact. Let’s continue to shop local and keep our community thriving as what goes around… comes around!

(across from the library)

you are done!

• Stove top: There are many different types of stove tops, and each requires its own type of cleaner. Use your specific cleaner to make sure your cook top is spotless.

• Microwave: Put a glass measuring cup with 1-2 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of vinegar and a squirt of lemon (so it smells better) on high for 5 minutes. Remove the measuring cup carefully (it will be hot) and quickly wipe out the inside of the microwave with paper towels. You won’t believe how clean it will come! Lastly wipe down the door and handle.

• Refrigerator/Freezer: You should have cleaned out your refrigerator and freezer in the de-cluttering stage, but if not, now is the time to remove everything and give it a good clean. This means that you should remove all drawers and shelves to wipe out the inside (top, bottom, sides).

Wash out the interior parts with warm water and baking soda and replace them.

Do pull out the fridge and give it a clean behind it.

• Dishwasher: Clean out your dishwasher with warm water and baking soda. It will make your dishwasher look and smell brand new.

• Sink drain: Here is an eco friendly drain/toilet cleaner that not only cleans but freshens: 1 cup of white vinegar, 1/2 cup baking soda & 4 cups of really hot water. Sprinkle the baking soda down the drain, then the vinegar, giving about 5 minutes for it to fizz away down there.

Follow with the hot water (as hot as you can but watch out for the steam when pouring). This is best done monthly for maintenance. You can also run a lemon through your garbage disposal to ensure it is fresh.

• Backsplash: Clean and polish.

• Drawers and cabinets: Remove everything from drawers and cabinets. Fully wipe out the inside and outside. Nicely reorganize cooking tools. (Yes, people do look inside!)

• Walls: Wipe down walls to remove any unruly splatters.

• Under sink: Remove all items and wipe out from top to bottom. Make sure there are no plumbing leaks.

• Trash can/Organic waste bin: Take your trash can/organic waste bin outside and clean it inside and out. If it is beyond cleaning…buy a new one!

• Stainless Steel: If you have stainless steel appliances, polish them with a good stainless steel cleaner or even just give them a good firm buff with a dry dish towel.

2. Bathrooms: • Cabinets: Remove everything from the cabinets and wipe them out, top to bottom. If the cabinets have glass shelves, run them through the dishwasher to make sure ure they are fully clean.

• Sink and shower drains: Remove all hair and debriss from drains. Follow w up with a healthyy dose of the eco co friendly cleaner you ou now know how to make to ensure the he drains are clear. ove • Drawers: Remove everything from drawawers. Fully wipe out the

inside and outside. Nicely reorganize toiletries.

• Under sink: Remove all items and wipe out from top to bottom. Make sure there are no plumbing leaks.

• Toilet: Clean the toilet from top to bottom, inside and out. Once again, use our earth friendly mixture of vinegar, baking soda & water to get that potty fresh & sparkling clean.

3. Closets: • Shelves: Remove everything from the shelves and wipe them off. Nicely reorganize clothes, etc.

• Walls & baseboards: Wipe down walls to remove all hanger scratches and scuffs.

You would not believe the little marks you’ll find! There are little commercial scrubbing pads that make this even easier.. not naming any names, Mr. (!)

4. Other: • Light switch covers: Clean all light switch covers of finger prints and dirt.

Replace any cracked covers; they’re fairly cheap to buy.

• Thermostat: Wipe off finger prints and dirt.

• Fireplace: Remove all soot and debris from fireplace. Hire a chimney sweeper if necessary. Stage with wood or gas logs.

If you have a gas fireplace make sure to clean the glass with the appropriate cleaner.

• Windows: Nothing shows off a home to potential buyers like a sparkling clear view of the new neighbourhood or garden.

This includes wiping out the window/ patio door tracks as well.

• Washing machine: Run a clean cycle on your washing machine, using vinegar to ensure that it looks and smells clean.

• Dryer: Remove lint from dryer lint trap.

Using a vacuum, make sure there is no lint under or behind dryer. A super idea is to place a few drops of an essential oil you like the smell of (lavender, vanilla, rose..) on a small hand cloth and place it in your dryer with your load of dish cloths and dish towels.. the relaxing clean smell will go throughout the house.

• Give your floors (carpets, hardwood.. whatever!) a really good vacuuming. If there are stains, be sure to scrub those out.

• Storage (attic/garage/garden shed): Don’t forget to de-clutter and vacuum all storage areas. After kitchens and bathrooms, storage is the next most important factor on all potential buyers’ lists.

With the arrival of warm temperatures, cool weather plants have really taken a beating and are fading fast.

Pansies, mimulus, dianthus and stocks are starting to go downhill rather quickly, but fortunately there’s still time to plant heat-loving and droughttolerant colour to keep our Brian gardens lookMINTER ing good until fall.

When planting at this time of year, there are a few things to bear in mind. During warm spells, do your planting in the evening so your plants have at least overnight to acclimatize. It really helps for the first day or so to lay a bit of Remay cloth over new plantings to filter the worst of the sun’s intensity and to allow those roots to take hold. It’s also a good idea to prepare your soil with a generous amount of damp quality compost, well-rotted manures and starting fertilizer to speed up the rooting process. Because you have no time to lose, be very particular about the plants you purchase at this time of year. Plants that have been crowded for too long and look

tall, hard and lanky will not perform well for you. Choose either fresh new plants or ones that have been repotted into larger four or six inch pots.

It’s wise to choose plants that not only love the heat, but once established, will also tolerate some drought. On top of my list are gazanias. These beautiful, huge daisy-like flowers are just a blaze of vibrant orange, yellow and bronze shades all summer long.

They add a unique flavour to any garden, and for the very best effect, they should be used in groups or mass plantings.

Portulacas (or the ‘moss rose’ as they are sometimes called) are right behind them for a great show in dry conditions. They are simply breathtaking with masses of vibrant bright double blooms that just don’t quit. They thrive in sunny, dry, hot spots; they do poorly in rich heavy soils. Portulacas should also be used in mass plantings, and they will often seed themselves for another great display next year.

For shady areas, New Guinea impatiens, browallia, tuberous begonias and coleus perform like magic with a minimum of water, once they are established. Be sure to check out the new sun-

SE DA N

‘Victoria Blue’, or try their new cousins, the more compact ‘Rhea’ or the blue and silver variety called ‘Strata’.

Did you know that fibrous begonias, geraniums, ivy geraniums, annual rudbeckias, canna lilies, vinca, cleome, zinnias, ‘Triploid’ marigolds and petunias are drought tolerant too? There is still plenty of time to add spots of colour to perk up your garden, and it’s nice to know there are plants that love the summer heat.

tolerant coleus varieties. At the outdoor trials in Chicago last year, the temperature was 96°F, and these coleus were just soaking it up!

Wonderful old-fashioned cosmos is another great drought-tolerant plant. The new dwarf ‘Sonata’ series is truly spectacular.

No garden would be complete without salvia, and you can’t plant salvia without its very best companion, Dusty Miller. Experiment with both ‘Salsa’ salvia and my favourite

Happy Birthday Canada!

The Creation of Canada Day July 1, 1867: The British North America Act (today known as the Constitution Act, 1867) created Canada.

June 20, 1868: Governor General Lord Monck signs a proclamation that requests all Her Majesty’s subjects across Canada to celebrate July 1.

1879: A federal law makes July 1 a statutory holiday as the “anniversary of Confederation,” which is later called “Dominion Day.” October 27, 1982: July 1, “Dominion Day” officially becomes Canada Day. The Celebrations Start July 1, 1917: The 50th anniversary of Confederation. The Parliament buildings, under construction, are dedicated to the Fathers of Confederation and to the courage of Canadians who fought in Europe during the First World War. July 1, 1927: The 60th anniversary of Confederation. The Peace Tower Carillon is inaugurated. The Governor General at the time, Viscount Willingdon, lays the cornerstone of the Confederation Building on Wellington Street.

From 1958 to 1968: The government organizes celebrations for Canada’s national holiday every year.

The Secretary of State of Canada is responsible for coordinating these activities. A typical format includes a flag ceremony in the afternoon on the lawns of Parliament Hill and a sunset ceremony in the evenings, followed by a concert of military music and fireworks.

July 1, 1967: The 100th anniversary of Confederation. Parliament Hill is the backdrop for a high-profile ceremony, which includes the participation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. From 1980 to 1983: A new format is developed. In addition to the festivities on Parliament Hill, the national committee (the group tasked by the federal government to plan the festivities for Canada’s national holiday) starts to encourage and financially support the establishment of local celebrations across Canada. Start-up funding is provided to support popular activities and performances organized by volunteer groups in hundreds of communities.

Interested organizations can make a request to the Celebrate Canada program.

2010: Festivities on Parliament Hill receive a royal treatment when Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II and His

Chilliwack resident Dave Harder has written book on how to invest in a loud marketplace.

“People are suffering from information overload,” says Harder, a Portfolio Manager and Vice President at RBC Wealth Management. “We wanted to provide a filter so people can focus only on what we believe really impacts economies and markets, and ignore all the other noise.”

“We want to enable all types of investors to be more efficient and productive in eliminating meaningless noise in order to focus on only key pieces of information that really matter,” he explains.

“By following what the money is doing instead of listening to what people say it should do, and recognizing just a few factors that really cause problems in the market, I’ve developed a strategy to manage risk.”

Trick shot tools Some players view difficult situations as adversity, and others as a challenge , writes Jennifer Greggain

Midget baseball has been the highest level played at Fairfield Island to date, but Chilliwack’s top-notch baseball facility gets a collegiate team starting this fall. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Building new squad from scratch Eric J. Welsh, The Progress

Shawn Corness was feeling bold Tuesday morning.

Coaches in any sport at any level don’t often make predictions or set expectations too high.

They open themselves up to second guessing if they fall short, so they just keep their mouths shut. But Corness, the newly-minted head coach of Chilliwack’s newly-minted collegiate baseball team delivered a doozy at the introductory press-conference.

“My hope is within three years we’re competing in the final game for a Canadian College Baseball Conference championship,” he said.

The six-team league his team joins has been dominated by the Lethbridgebased Prairie Baseball Academy, winners of the last five CCBC championships.

They are the big dogs Corness and company will be chasing down, and he anticipates epic clashes with PBA. “Todd (Hubka) has done a great job of recruiting, has some good connections across the country including a really strong one in Nova Scotia,” Corness said.

“He’s drawn a lot of quality players from back east.

They have a great facility.

He runs his program well and I look forward to bring-

ing us up alongside.”

Corness has his own network of Canadian contacts, developed over the last decade, seeking recruits for the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds.

He doesn’t feel overmatched by anyone in the recruiting game and feels he has an edge building a roster that will be competitive from day one.

“We’ve been on the go about two weeks now and we already have 15 signed recruits,” Corness mentioned. “We have another 10 guys who are excited about this and close to signing. They’re excited about being the first guys in here to kick this off.”

“We’re giving them the challenge of a new program where, ‘It’s not going to be easy boys, but you get to be the first guys in something that’s going to grow and flourish over the years.’”

Corness leaves a championship calibre program at UBC to do this.

There’s excitement as he starts something from scratch and puts his own stamp on it.

There’s also nervousness, a little fear of the unknown.

“When you talk about UBC you’re talking about the number one program in the country, so it wasn’t easy making the decision to leave,” said Corness, who served as UBC’s pitching/assistant coach.

“I had 10 years and a lot of great experiences there,

and when you start something new there’s a lot of, ‘What’s it going to be like next week? Next month?

Next year?’ So yes, there’s nervousness. But also a lot of excitement.”

Still up in the air is how closely, if at all, his program will be affiliated with the University of the Fraser Valley.

Corness sounded confident something will happen, but UFV was more cautious, saying the application is still ‘in process’ with nothing green-lighted.

No matter what, the program will hold ‘club team’ status for the first two years, with a long term goal of becoming a UFV varsity squad.

“Down the road hopefully UFV looks at us, sees a really formidable club and thinks we should be a varsity program.” Corness said. “Having varsity status with UFV would get us support from the school, financially and otherwise, which helps. And just having that affiliation with them and being the UFV Cascades would make it more legitimate.”

“Our players will have to be enrolled in a minimum of six credits the first year, and academics will be first and foremost with our program.”

Of the 15 recruits Corness has landed so far, six are from Chilliwack, including Liam ‘Soupy’ Campbell.

“My goal for a long time

has been to play university baseball, and I thought I’d have to leave Chilliwack to do it,” Campbell said. “I was selected to play for the Premier Baseball League’s Abbotsford Cardinals, but when I heard about this I decided to stay.”

“It was the best baseball decision I ever made because I won a Western Canadian Championship with Shawn’s midget AAA team last summer, and now I get this opportunity to stay home and still be coached by him.”

Corness seems to inspire rave reviews from all his players, and Campbell’s no different.

“A lot of coaches will get mad and scream and throw stuff, and punishment running’s a big thing with some guys,” he said. “Shawn’s a guy who’s easy to play for as long as you stay focused and play hard.”

Campbell was offered a spot this year on one of Chilliwack’s soon-to-be rivals, the Thompson Rivers University Wolfpack.

But the opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a new program was too appealing.

“I think this will be much more rewarding,” he said.

“We’ve got guys here who are ready to work hard.

We’re going to have a good young team and I think we’re going to be very competitive.”

The first time I had the opportunity to watch a PGA Tour event in person, I noticed that every player, at some point, hit a shot or two offline. Finding a not so ideal location, the player was w as forced to open their tool box of ‘trick shots’ to get them back on track.

Here are some trick shots I recommend every golfer have in their bag.

Everyone should know how to hit a low recovery shot from the trees, especially residing in BC where every course has tree-lined fairways.

The key to keeping a low running shot is in the set-up.

Be sure to use a low lofted iron, like a four or five iron. Place the ball further back in the stance, closer to the trail foot. Set yyour our hands well ahead of the club head, which delofts the club and keeps the shot-trajectory low.

Make an abbreviated swing, no bigger than half or three quarters, and mirror the size of swing in your follow through. Take a few practice swings with the swing arc bottoming out on the ground. The result is a low lofted ‘punch’ shot that will stay under tree branches and roll out to the target.

When faced with a shot that requires a delicate high lofted trajectory with little roll, make sure you know how to hit a solid ‘flop’ shot.

Choose your highest lofted wedge, and if you plan on using this shot often be sure to invest in a quality lob wedge of at least 60 degrees.

For those who struggle with w ith this shot, I use the analogy of a popular fair game -- the water balloon toss.

Imagine tossing the balloon high in the air to your partner, assertively enough to throw it far but delicately enough that it doesn’t break in their hands.

Feel completely relaxed through your hands, and grip the club as softly as

you can.

Set up with the ball slightly forward in yourr stance, and open the club face to add loft.

Allow your wrists to sett in the back-swing, and turn through the shot with yourr body.

The club-head should strike the ground at the bottom of the arc, creating a soft, high trajectory pitch.

The swing itself should feel a bit longer and relaxed, yet keeping just the rightt amount of assertiveness.

Done correctly, this is also one of the most enjoyable shots to pull off, causing a fair amount of grief to your playing partners.

Finally, one more shott everyone should know is the dreaded plugged lie in a greenside bunker.

Again, choose yourr setup for this shot wisely.

Play the ball forward in your stance, but instead of opening your club-face like a normal bunker shot, instead close or hood the face.

Take a somewhat smaller swing with an abbreviated finish position, which will cause the ball to softlyy pop up and out of the bunker.

Golf isn’t about hitting perfect shots all the time.

Its about enjoying hitting a wide range of differentt types of shots.

Some players view difficult situations as adversity, and others will face it as a challenge.

Which one will you choose?
