Asbestos threat halts Shannon Court demo

See related story page 10 Jessica Peters The Progress Shannon Court lies in ruins this week, reduced to a chaotic pile of debris that may be contaminated with asbestos. And it will stay that way until the developer attempting to level the site can have the materials there assessed, demolished, and disposed of properly. As of Thursday, mattresses and other personal effects were mixed in with drywall, wiring, and dust. Some walls were still standing, as mounds of building material leaned up against them. The entire site near Yale and Menzies had been fenced off for a week already, with a large sign that warns: Absolutely no admittance. The demolition began early last Thursday morning, when an excavator and other trucks and equipment moved onto the site. But their work day stopped at 4:30 p.m., when WorkSafe BC visited the site and found a major oversight. According to the ensuing report, Inspector Brenda Lavalle confirmed almost immediately upon arriving that nobody had checked to ensure the buildings were asbestos free. This is a requirement of demolition companies, and the removal, transport and disposal of asbestos is heavily regulated. WorkSafe BC provided The Progress with the initial investigation report from the Aug. 6 stop work order. Continued: DEBRIS/ p7

Owners of the abandoned Safeway building on Main Street will be ordered next week to fence and ultimately demolish the two structures on the property. JENNIFER FEINBERG/ PROGRESS

Old Safeway building up for demolition Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The old Safeway building on Main Street has been an eyesore for a long time. But action could finally be coming as early as next week. The boarded-up storefront, which occupies an entire city block of prime real estate, is seen as pivotal in the revitalization of the downtown core. City of Chilliwack and CEPCO officials tried to work with the former Safeway ownership for years, and also with the current owners, Sobeys, to take accountability for the decline of the property, but to no avail. The wrecking ball is likely next. The word “eyesore” comes

up repeatedly when talking about this property. The feeling around town is that it should be properly maintained – or sold. The building has been boarded up for years. There are broken windows, and peeling paint. Graffiti tags show up out front and are painted over quickly. And there have been numerous incidents of vandalism and mischief. Now, city officials confirm they are ready to take the next step. A council resolution is expected next week to require owners to fence the two structures on the property, with plans to demolish the buildings within 90 days, under Section 74 of the Community Charter. “It would be very difficult for council to support in any way

they are “working with city officials.” But that was all. Asked if the property was for sale, the spokesperson wouldn’t confirm either way. “We have nothing further to share publicly on this piece of property at this time,” said Keri Scobie, communications manager for Sobeys West. Even if the property was listed for sale, the owners would still be subject to the minimum standards bylaw, said city staff. The company listed as the property owner, SDL Snocap Ltd., was issued two fines of $500 each, with an outstanding amount of $1,000 for failing to obtain vacant building permits, staff said.

the ongoing neglect of this property,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “Other communities are watching, too, “ she added. “This is a situation many struggle with in terms of downtown redevelopment.” The reason action is important and urgent, consultants have told city officials, is that any significant redevelopment of the downtown could hinge on this centralized site being transformed. The property has also become a nuisance, a safety hazard and a draw for criminal activity. Sobeys officials confirmed in an email to The Progress last month that they had received a bylaw package from the City of Chilliwack to apply for the vacant building permit, and said

Another two lives lost in Harrison Lake Lorene Keitch Black Press The search for a swimmer who went missing in Harrison Lake on the afternoon of Aug. 11 has turned up nothing so far. The man, whose identity has not been released, was swimming off a boat with friends near Long Island when he disappeared under the water. Eyewitnesses say the water at that location is 130 feet deep. Kent Harrison Search and Rescue members searched the surface of the lake Tuesday, suspending their search at 9:30 p.m. Wednesday morning, a dive team and RCMP sonar planned to head out to the site, on the west side of Long Island just south of 20 Mile Bay, according to KHSAR team manager Neil Brewer.

Initial reports are that a young man, estimated to be in his 20 s, disappeared in the water when four friends were out together on the lake. Eyewitness Darlene Delaney said she and her husband, Trevor were on their boat with friends. The Agassiz couple decided to putter over to nearby Long Island to watch the fire crews at work. Delaney says they looked behind them and saw a group of three swimmers in the water and one in a boat. “I was saying the water must be nice today because they’re out swimming,” says Delaney. They continued watching the helicopters work on the wildfire. A little while later, they turned around and saw two people in the nearby boat yelling and waving their arms. “We thought maybe they were fooling around,” says Delaney,

because the group had been laughing and swimming minutes earlier. But they quickly realized the men were serious and raced over. There was one man in the water drifting away from two men in the boat. The Delaneys quickly rescued him by throwing him a rope and an inflatable life jacket. “Our friend hasn’t come up,” the other two reportedly said to the Delaneys. “It was pretty scary.” An air ambulance attended the scene but left without anyone on board. The man pulled from the water was taken away by BC Ambulance at the Harrison Lake boat launch. Cpl. Mike Rail, RCMP spokesman, reminds boaters to be smart on the water. “The police want to remind everyone to be safe when they’re on the water. If you’re boating, ensure you

have the proper safety equipment on board,” says Rail. “Know your skills, know your environment and know your limitations.” This is the most recent in a string of tragedies at the glacier-fed lake this summer. A young woman was swimming with friends at Cogburn Beach on the east side of Harrison Lake Friday, Aug. 7 around 7 p.m. Barb McLintock, media relations for the BC Coroners Service, reports there was a “swimming incident” involving the woman. The death is under investigation. She worked at Beatniks Bistro in Fort Langley and a memorial is in place at the restaurant with condolences for ‘Lyndsay’. These incidents come on the heels of a video which was released from friends and family of two men who died in Harrison Lake June 8.

Daniel Reid, 23 and Gary Duong, 25, were out with friends on an inflatable raft and decided to swim ashore. Their bodies were found a week and a half later in the Harrison River. The video, found on Youtube, has been viewed more than 38,000 times. In the PSA, unnamed speakers urge the Village of Harrison Hot Springs to put up signs. At Monday evening’s Council meeting, Mayor Leo Facio said at this point, the Village has not received any formal reports or recommendations regarding signage. “We’re open for discussion,” he said, but adds it would need to include other parties such as provincial government representatives. He says the Village would need to work on how, “to put out precautions on a lake that’s 30 miles long.”

‘Bad date box’ gives sex workers a voice Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Sex trade workers are sometimes raped or assaulted by their johns. Fear of being arrested or criminalized often keeps them from going to police. Now there’s a way for local sex workers to make reports in Chilliwack. Ann Davis Transition Society has placed a locked wooden box – the bad date box – inside a change room at Ann’s Treasures and Thrift Shop, on Yale Road east of Five Corners. “It’s really discreet and gives them a chance to make an anonymous report on anyone who is abusive or violent or just nasty with them,” said Samantha Hilliard, volunteer coordinator for Ann Davis Transition Society. The forms don’t even have a space for names. They ask for a description of the incident, and any vehicle description, with logos and vehicle shapes that can be circled. “The forms are really user-friendly. The whole purpose is to create better communication, and to allow the local worker to give anonymous feedback about these experiences to police.” Bad date reporting is common in larger communities but Chilliwack has never had a formal way to do it. “Everyone knows these incidents are happening. It’s not fun.” Sometimes they’re robbed, choked, confined, or refused payment. Hilliard designed the bad date sheet based on a template used by other organizations who coordinate such initiatives, like the Bad Date Coalition or Women’s Information Safe Haven in Vancouver (WISH). The “bad date box” has been in place in the Ann Davis thrift store across from the post office, right

near the local stroll, for two months. “We’re just starting to get in touch and get the word out about it,” she said. “Eventually it will give everyone an idea of the scale and frequency of these incidents, and might even lead to arrests.” The filled out forms will be collected and handed in to police. “You can tell that there’s already strong interest,” she said. “But there’s also an underlying fear.” The emphasis on anonymity is to reduce the stress of making a report. “I want this to work and I want it

to make a difference,” said Hilliard. “These are women who’ve had terrible experiences. We want them to have an opportunity to be heard.” The mandate of Ann Davis is to work on a number of levels toward violence-free communities and this initiative dovetails nicely. They helped more than 2,500 people last year involved in domestic violence, offering individual and group counselling to women, children, youth, men, couples and families, as well as providing information, advocacy and community education. “Anything they can do to make

it safer on Chilliwack streets for everyone is worth a try,” said Sue Attrill, city councillor and chair of the Public Safety Advisory Committee. “It sounds like this initiative was well thought out. More power to them and if it can made a difference I wholeheartedly support it.” Anyone who would rather not fill in a bad date form can call a central Bad Date Line 1-416-765-6009 which will notify local agencies or check out the Bad Date Coalition on Facebook. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

RCMP look for shooting suspect RCMP are asking for the public’s help to find a shooting suspect. Thirty-six year old Beau Lawrence Clark of Chilliwack is wanted in connection with an incident that happened late Monday night at the Tim Horton’s in Eagle Landing. Just before 10 p.m. a man was shot in the drivethrough line. The victim, identified by his family through social media as Shaun Beau Clark Dalke, was taken to Chilliwack General Hospital where he remained as of Wednesday afternoon, recovering from non-life threatening injuries. The RCMP searched the area around the Tim Horton’s with help from police dogs, but failed to find their suspect. At the same time, the hospital’s emergency room was locked down. Clark is described as a Caucasian male, six-foot-two and 170 pounds with brown eyes and brown hair. He’s considered to be armed and dangerous. “We are cautioning the public if you should see Clark do not approach him and immediately call police,” said RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail. Anyone who knows where Clark might be is asked to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers (anonymously) at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Rain could cancel Safeway property ‘key’ to revitalization second straight Party In The Park SAFEWAY from Front

Jessica Peters The Progress You picked a fine time to rain, Mother Nature. The fate of today’s Party in the Park will be completely dependent on just how much rain falls in the morning, Kyle Williams, executive director of the Downtown BIA said Thursday afternoon. And at that point, it wasn’t looking too good. “If it’s going to rain the way it says it’s going to rain, we’ll have to cancel,” he said. “But at this point, all we have to go on is the forecast.” The last Party in the Park was also cancelled due to rain. Half of the July’s 44 mm of precipitation fell on July 24. While it was much needed, it also made it difficult for the sound crew to set up their electrical equipment. And, with so much rain, attendance would have been down drastically. While Williams and the rest of the BIA staff and volunteers are keeping their fingers crossed for tonight’s event, he said the public can watch their website or Facebook page for an official cancellation notice around noon. They need to make the decision early in the day to give enough notice performers and vendors who are packing up and traveling to downtown Chilliwack. If the party is a go, performers will be the Creative Outlet, the Hornets, the Rub, Lounge Hounds, Common Ground and Witchita Trip. The theme colour people can wear will be green. The final date for Party in the Park is next Friday, Aug. 21. At press time, the long term forecast also called for rain that day.

New vacant buildings legislation has minimum maintenance standards built in, geared to bringing buildings that are unsightly, run down and not suitable for occupancy into compliance. The city tried to get voluntary compliance, but in the absence of it, they moved ahead with fines. At the scene recently, an area bank worker, who asked not to be identified, commented that many people he spoke to said they were tired of inaction on the old Safeway site.

“It’s become an eyesore,” he noted echoing the mayor’s description. City sent a bylaw package to Sobeys officials with the requirement they obtain a “vacant building regulation permit,” for the two vacant buildings on the site, as per the minimum maintenance standards bylaw that council originally passed in 2014. The legislation was drafted in part to deal with precisely these sorts of situations: absentee property owners or landlords allowing properties to fall into disrepair. These are properties that fail to contribute to the

downtown plan to transform downtown Chilliwack into an attractive and vibrant neighbourhood. City officials at press time had still been unsuccessful in getting Sobeys to apply for a Vacant Building Regulation Permit. “Although there are no fast or simple solutions to renewing a city centre, we believe redevelopment of this property, in accordance with the downtown plan, would have a positive impact on the area,” added Gaetz. It should either be redeveloped by the current owners, or sold.

“It’s what everyone sees downtown. It’s an eyesore,” Gaetz said. “Worse is that it is robbing people of hope for any real redevelopment, and it needs to be dealt with.” Once it comes before council, the demolition order is expected to sail through because the whole situation has been stuck in low-gear for years. “We’re left with a sense of frustration. But if the resolution passes, then the people of this community will know that council intends to have this building gone,” Gaetz said.

Welcome Master Stylist

Residents worry about debris DEBRIS from Front In the report, everyone involved with the demolition claimed they did not know an inspection of the site for hazardous materials was required. “Prior to the start of the demolition of the older motel units at this location, the employer (Prime Contractor) failed to have a qualified person conduct an inspection of the site to identify the hazardous materials that may be handled, disturbed or removed during the demolition, thereby potentially exposing the workers on site to those materials,” the report states. “This is in contravention of the Occupational Health and Safety Regulation Section 20.112(2).” Not doing so can expose workers to a “high risk of serious injury, serious illness or death.” Now that the work has started, all the material on site could be contaminated. A demolition contractor who is not working at the site told The Progress that proper de-contamination of the asbestoscontaining material may have cost about $30,000. But now that the entire site and all materials could be contaminated, that cost could be closer to $200,000. The demolition cannot continue until the site is properly assessed. WorkSafe’s report states that a hazardous materials survey (inspection and report of findings) is to be completed by a qualified person. “Before work begins on the

demolition or salvage of machinery, equipment, a building or a structure, or the renovation of a building or structure, all employers responsible for that work, and the owner, must ensure that a qualified person inspects the machinery, equipment, building or structure and the worksite to identify the hazardous materials, if any.” According to the report, five truck loads of materials had already been trucked freely through Chilliwack and delivered to a local landfill. Asbestoscontaminated material is required to be properly bagged, and transported in a lined bin. It cannot be dumped at the Bailey Landfill, and is trucked to Alberta. The closest collection site, in Metro Vancouver, only accepts materials for its region. While WorkSafe’s regulations are in place to protect workers, at least one neighbour of the site is worried about health impacts on the community. James Rogers says the former tenants of Shannon Court are going onto the site at night, to sift through the tall piles of debris for belongings. “I’m worried about health,” he says. “It’s a rat’s nest in there and people are digging through for whatever’s in the pile.” There is security on site, he adds, but it isn’t necessarily helping. And he worries the asbestos could fly through the air when it’s

e niv rsa

windy, and end up in the lungs of anyone who breathes it in. “They didn’t get the proper permits, these are things I’m hearing,” he said. “It’s really concerning.” While asbestos has not been identified yet, the age of building leads WorkSafe to assume it’s present. “The apparent age of the buildings makes them highly suspect of containing hazardous materials, specifically asbestos.” Asbestos presents no danger when it remains undisturbed, however once renovations and demolition begin, asbestos releases into the air. And once it’s in someone’s lungs, it stays there forever. The company in charge of the demolition and the hiring of the subcontractors is listed as a numbered company, #1002958 Ltd. The site is being cleared to become part of a townhouse complex currently under construction right beside it, at the end of Macken Road near Portage Park. Lisa Thompson, the City of Chilliwack’s director of development, said the company had all their permits with the municipality in place. The city does not require proof of a hazardous materials inspection, and leaves the onus to get that done on those doing the work. “It’s not in our jurisdiction to be asking people to obtain that report,” she says.

Caution on the water

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

The drowning death of a young woman in Harrison Lake on Friday and the death of a young man in the same lake on Tuesday offer a sad reminder of the need for caution on the water. (See story, page 3.) The incidents follow the deaths of two men earlier in the year – a tragedy that has prompted the family to release a poignant video calling for more signage and better awareness of the dangers of Harrison Lake. Details of the two most recent incidents are still scarce. However, they reflect a familiar theme: an underestimation of the perils of such a large body of water. The currents are strong, the water is cold and the wind and waves can turn a simple swim into nightmare. But there’s more, as B.C.’s grim record shows. Hundreds of people drown in Canada each year, and here in B.C. our lakes and rivers have claimed far too many of those lives. Hot and dry 2013 was a particularly bad year in this province, with more than 40 drowning deaths recorded by mid-July. But with temperatures climbing again in what has already been a summer for the record books, there is a very real possibility that we’ll see a return to those numbers. The British Columbia Drowning Report 2015 edition – a compilation of stats from 2008 to 2012 – lays out the five Ws of drowning deaths in the province over that five-year period. Its findings are unsurprising. It tells us July and August are the most dangerous months and that the Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley sees the most drowning deaths of any region in the province. The report also notes that eight out of 10 drowning victims are male; most people who drown in B.C. die in a river, stream or lake; and that age 20-24 is the riskiest time of life. But it’s the ‘Whys’ that should really make us sit up and take notice. Between the ages of 20 and 34, the most likely cause of drowning is alcohol consumption (48 per cent) followed by not wearing a life jacket when relevant (40 per cent). What these elements all have in common, of course, is that they are choices those swimmers and boaters made. When it comes to safety on the water, of course, enforcement is crucial. But it’s also important to acknowledge the role we play in our own safety, and the safety of those who are enjoying the water with us. ~ Black Press

Hot, dry weather adds new challenge to agriculture As this intensely hot, dr y summer drags on, the impact is starting to be felt sharply and in strange ways among farmers. Usually the summer sees a steady flow of produce as strawberries ripen, then raspberries and then blueberries allowing for staggered, efficient harvests. This year they all ripened around the same time resulting in some of the crops not picked. Without enough labour, enough machines working at the same time, enough people to process, package and market the fruit, produce was getting wasted. Then there are crops dying in the fields from lack of irrigation. Many of those fields would normally have enough residue moisture in the soil to maintain healthy crop growth to which would be added average rainfall. But not this year. The soil is powder. Corn is withering, turning

brown and dying. Some farmers are turning fields under. For many farmers who don’t irrigate their hay fields, the first crop is in but the grass isn’t growing to allow another cut which means there will be a hay shortage this winter for horse owners. As for city water Margaret supplies though, reserves still look EVANS good. “In Chilliwack our aquifer is still good,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “We are in Stage 3 drought and we are doing that to follow the provincial government. The aquifer is in good shape. But people need to get used to it.” Meaning, with no rain forecast, folks need to adapt to a conser-

vation-minded skill-set and use water resources wisely. According to Metro Vancouver’s website, as of August 9, their reservoirs were only 60 per cent full. Three watersheds provide Vancouver’s water: Coquitlam (which supplies nearly half their water), Capilano, and Seymour reser voirs. In early July, the city started to release water from an additional alpine lake to supplement Capilano. To the south, 99 per cent of Washington State is in a severe drought position and the Agriculture Department estimate farmers will lose 12 per cent of their annual $10 billion crop value this year. Temperatures are running seven degrees above normal, precipitation has been just 51 per cent of normal and 18 counties have been designated disaster areas. B.C. farmers may need to do

a reset. According to a report published in May by the British Columbia Agriculture & Food, Climate Action Initiative, by the 2020s (just five years plus), we could be seeing increases in average temperatures and more frequent drier, hotter summers and low river flows. The need to irrigate and oversee the complexities of water storage and management will dominate farm costs. There will be impacts on crop yields and quality and it may become necessar y to diversify and plant more drought-resistant crops better suited to hotter, dryer climates. There will be consequences on livestock health and productivity and there could be challenges with seasonal stages such as interruptions in pollination. Fraser Valley soils are some of the most fertile in Canada and some 63,838 hectares are farmed

in the FVRD. There is a wide variety of soil types, the majority being class three or better. The annual precipitation in the FVRD is approximately 1,575 mm. But according to Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada, this year in the Chilliwack region our precipitation from January 1 to July 31 has only been 654.2 mm compared to the 30-year average for the same period of 983 mm, about 66 per cent of normal. And for farmers, water demands basically double in dry times. As badly as it’s needed, there is no endgame in sight for this drought. Environment Canada’s probability seasonal forecast shows 100 per cent above normal temperature and 50 per cent below normal rainfall through September/October for the south coast.

Food waste composting needed We recently moved into an apartment in downtown Chilliwack. One of the things we miss is being able to compost our leftovers. We contacted City Hall and they informed us that there were no immediate plans to offer that service throughout the city. Wouldn’t this be a fine time for some organization to start col-

lecting the compost from around the city, letting it breakdown, and then selling it? How about as a way of raising funds for an athletic team of some sort? How about for some special occasions at a middle or high school? How about one of the service clubs take it on as a fund raiser? What about UFC including composting

in their training programmes? There must be many more possibilities. It seems such a shame to have this free and valuable stuff just going into the landfill. Come on, you guys. Think of something!

Chilliwack Votes offering election info Thank you for your profile of Chilliwack Votes in the July 31st edition of The Progress. October 19th has indeed been confirmed as Election Day, but with a marathon campaign over 11 weeks, rather than the 37-day sprint of previous elections. Whether this lengthy election campaign is good or bad, right or wrong, we see it as an opportunity to broaden the understanding of what Chilliwack’s politi-

cal culture is, to better address the issues that define it, and to debate its direction as pursued by the next Member of Parliament. The challenge we issue to each citizen is to start following the election now, and to maintain that over the next 11 weeks. Find the issue that matters most and start there. Commit an hour a week, spread throughout the week, and commit to attend an all-candidates debate

at some point. To those of us already following the issues, encourage others to do the same. It is your right as a Canadian to vote, or not to vote, but this is equally measured by your responsibility to be a part of the social fabric that makes up our democracy and as such, to participate in it. We hope, come the 19th, that each of us will vote, casting that ballot with an understanding of who and what we are

voting for, and how our collective interests are served after the election. I encourage you all to follow our website, www.chilliwackvotes.com following its launch on August 20th. If you are a candidate yet to be contacted, an interest group yet to be addressed, or a concerned citizen looking to be involved, please feel free to reach out to work with us through this process.

Asbestos threat grows with knock-downs: WorkSafe BC Black Press An alarming number of contractors are failing to safely remove asbestos before they demolish or renovate an older home, prompting WorkSafeBC to step up enforcement to prevent a new epidemic of disease in the future. The agency conducted 210 inspections last year and found 43 per cent of hazardous mate-

rial surveys were inadequate, often failing to detect asbestos that further tests proved was present. “In many of these cases they’ll produce a survey by a testing firm that shows no asbestos. We will then take samples ourselves and we’ll find asbestos in that property,” said Al Johnson, WorkSafeBC vice-president of prevention services. Disreputable hazmat

Those deaths were mostly due to industrial exposure of trades people at high levels 20 to 40 years ago, but Johnson fears more gradual exposure in construction and demolition will be the new killer of the future. Contributing to the problem is the soaring price of land in Metro Vancouver that has fueled a boom in demolitions as hundreds of older houses are cleared away each year to make way for the dream homes of buyers.

“The housing market is playing into this in a significant way because many old homes built prior to the mid-80s are just being purchased for the land and torn down,” Johnson said. Some contractors or home owners have no clue about the risks or the health and safety laws that apply, he said, while others are trying to dodge the cost of dealing with the danger responsibly. “You can come in and demolish with backhoe or an excavator and have a big pile of rubble

and try to haul it off somewhere. That’s a lot different than having a team of people go in properly protected.” Five cities – Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Saanich and Nanaimo – require demolition permit applicants to first provide hazardous material survey results. Renovations are more difficult for enforcement officers to spot and police. Johnson said WorkSafeBC is appealing to home owners to get a responsible con-

tractor. “The last thing you want is somebody tearing out your kitchen and then somebody later on saying ‘that was all asbestos.’ Now you and your family and your kids and everybody else may have been exposed and breathed in a hazardous material.” The enforcement blitz continues until the end of the year. More information can be found at WorkSafeBC’s asbestos information site hiddenkiller.ca.

Public hearing for abattoir cancelled Long list of Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A public hearing for a proposed beef processing f acility for Chilliwack’s agricultural food processing zone set for Aug. 18 has been cancelled. Council had been slated to consider a text amendment to allow construction of an abattoir on Brannick Place to process up to 100 cattle a day in Chilliwack. The whole process has to be restarted from scratch due to a boundary adjustment being requested to facilitate another development on an adjacent property.

Therefore the text amendment documents and accompanying maps for the proposed slaughter house needed to be redrawn, and reissued due to legal requirements. Applicant is seeking to expand an existing Agricultural Food Processing zone to allow construction of a 22,000-square foot beef processing facility, at 8146, 8160, 8174, 8188, 8202, 8216, and 8230 Brannick Place. The goal is to obtain “food inspection status” with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) to facilitate “better market access” for

local beef to major local retailers and food processors, as well as potential export markets, according to the staff report. The hearing cancellation announced this week was required because the existing maps would be inaccurate, as the actual footprint of the site for the abattoir has to be a couple of acres smaller than initially proposed at about 16 acres. The changes are required to accommodate a separate application by an unrelated food processing company with a boundary adjustment on the nearby property.

The Chilliwack Agricultural Commission offered support to the proposal, noting the project “would support opportunities for a strong, viable and profitable meat industry in British Columbia.” The property in the AFP Zone would remain in the Agricultural Land Reserve, designated as “Agri-Business Park” within the 2040 Official Community Plan. Introduction and first reading for the adjusted text amendment proposal for the beef facility is expected at the Sept. 1 council meeting, with a new hearing set for Sept. 15. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Vedder Mountain Fault cited as one area of concern Tom Fletcher Black Press The National Energy Board has released a draft list of 145 conditions for approval of Kinder Morgan Canada’s oil pipeline expansion project, including environmental protection plans for land and marine operations. Conditions include the possibility of dredging for the expansion of the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby, where the original Trans Mountain pipeline has delivered crude oil and refined products since 1953. Kinder Morgan is proposing to twin the line to ramp up shipments of diluted bitumen from northern Alberta that began intermittently in the late 1980s. The $5.4 billion expansion project would nearly triple the line’s capacity to 890,000 barrels per day, resulting in a seven-fold increase in oil tankers entering and leaving Vancouver harbour. Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson said Thursday the company will be seeking clarification on the timing of some of the conditions, and will file its comments to the NEB review panel Aug. 20. Most major conditions, including plans for watercourse crossings along the route, are to be filed at least 90 days before construction begins. “Our initial review of the draft conditions is that they are rigorous but achievable,” Anderson said. NEB hearings are to resume Aug. 24, where the B.C. government is expected to formalize its position, based on Premier Christy Clark’s five conditions for new heavy oil pipelines. They include a “world-class” spill response capability on land and sea, approval and benefit sharing by affected First Nations, and a still-undefined “fair share” of benefits for the province. Those conditions were included in B.C.’s position opposing the Enbridge Northern Gateway project, which the federal government approved with its own list of more than 200 conditions. The province does not have authority to veto either pipeline project, as each would run from Alberta to B.C. Draft conditions for Trans Mountain include identification of all sites on the proposed second line affected by earthquake, including the “Holocene for Sumas Fault, Vedder Mountain Fault, Fraser River-Straight Creek Fault and Rocky Mountain Trench, as well as other possible hidden faults.” Conditions also include submitting records of landowner consultation on the route, and a plan for aboriginal participation in monitoring construction.

Volunteerism won’t stop for UBC-bound grad Across the community, students are preparing to head to college and university. But they’re taking a little bit of Chilliwack with them. Jessica Peters The Progress There’s a lot to pack for university. Naturally, there are the requisite school supplies and books. Lots of books. Then there’s the long list of household items, furniture, kitchen staples, and so on, to make life on campus more like home. And finally, to get the most out of the whole experience, it’s best to bring along a willingness to get involved. Sardis graduate Alisha Buttar is packing a ton of that when she heads off to UBC next month. “I want to volunteer,” she says, smiling and sure of herself. And she couldn’t have found a better place to do so. Practically a city unto itself, UBC is bustling with volunteer opportunities for eager and energetic students like Buttar. “My cousins have said there is a club for almost anything.” She’ll try to settle in first, as she takes on her course load within the Land and Food Systems program. This summer she’s been busy checking and double checking courses, course requirements, and ensuring she’s on the right path. And when she emerges from the university in five years, she will be a registered dietician. From there, Buttar hopes to travel abroad and help set up sustainable farming in underdeveloped countries. “I want to establish a farm crop for a village that’s sustainable, and then at some time return to Canada,” she says. There will be plenty of volunteer positions for her to choose

ensuring more teens would be fed well into the future. Over the last year, there was a solid group of about 13 kids, with others coming and going as needed. “It’s cool to think I helped build the sustainability of the program so that it will be there after I leave,” she says. In addition to helping other students get through the day nutritionally, it also helped on a social level. The teens who use the program may not be getting any food at home, or not getting enough for their needs, or simply just forgetting to eat. “It really does bring down the barriers between us,” she says. “These are people I maybe never would have talked to.” Buttar is hoping that those barriers continue to break down, more friendships are made, and the program thrives. But that’s not all she’s been involved in. She has just finished up her time with Interact, a division of the Rotary Club designed for youth ages 12 to 18. The club has a lot of Sardis youth involvement, but they are hoping to expand to include teens from other areas of Chilliwack. “We’re just a big group that loves volunteering,” Buttar says. They meet every second Thursday of the month at the Chilliwack YMCA, and are always open to new members. Their next meeting will be on Aug. 27, and Buttar encourages other youth to consider getting involved. They help out with initiatives throughout the community, and in other parts of the world. They also spearhead their own initiatives, with the Rotary motto of “service above self.” It’s all put Buttar in good stead as she heads toward her post-secondary experience — with a little extra money in her pocket from scholarships, but also with a strong desire to continue giving everything she’s got. jpeters@theprogress.com

Mini tours exploring downtown Explore the architecture and history of the downtown core with a mini walking tour led by volunteers with Chilliwack Heritage Society. The group started the downtown tours last month, and are continuing this week offering free half-hour tours, leaving from Party in the Park on Aug. 14, and Aug. 21, at 7 p.m. and 8 p.m. (However, if Party in the Park is cancelled due to weather, so is the tour.) “Everyone who takes the tour will learn something they don’t know about Chilliwack, even people who’ve lived

here a long time,” said Laura Reid, director of the Heritage Society. The volunteers will point out the historic buildings and infrastructure that popped up around town to serve the influx of war veterans returning to Chilliwack. The walking tour will leave from Central Community Park and loop around downtown and back to the park. “We’ll talk about how Chilliwack was developed in the period following the Second World War.” It will talk about what makes Chilliwack unique. The old firehall, old courthouse and the old library are

Home&Garden

A simple bulb planted now can pack a lot of colour in September I write about colchicums almost every summer because they are so easy to grow and are so important for fall colour. August is the only time of year to plant these

September-blooming crocus that also go by the name ‘Autumn Crocus’. It’s so nice to see fresh colour popping out of the ground so quickly after being planted.

Colchicum bulbs become huge and can, over time, produce 19 to 25 flowers, one right after the other, until they all open in a profusion of colour. A lady who used to grow

thousands in her backyard in Vancouver told me it takes about two years for a small bulb to grow into a huge specimen, at which point it splits into four smaller ones. Small bulbs will produce five to seven flowers; midsized bulbs will have about a dozen blooms. I have learned the hard way that these bulbs Brian love a sunny, MINTER welldrained, yet moist location, with average soil. One year we planted them in several shady spots, only to have them gradually deteriorate to the point of no return. You can leave them in the ground to naturalize, if that is the effect you wish to have. A single corm of a large colchicum hybrid can easily multiply to cover nearly 900 square centimetres of garden. Just imagine what a few well-placed groupings throughout your garden can

Crocus-Saffron is a popular choice to add September colour.

do. It is best to plant them about 10cm deep and about 15 to 20cm apart. They need some room, not only to multiply, but also for the huge foliage which will develop the following spring. Colchicums are very hardy and do well right across our country. ‘Colchicum speciosus’, which blooms in September and October, is most often a bright violetpink, while Colchicum

‘Album’ is the seldom seen beautiful white variety. Among the hybrids, ‘Lilac Wonder’ is the most popular with its attractive lilacpink flowers. The double purple blooms of ‘Waterlily’ are unusual and quite beautiful, but its heavy blossoms are often knocked down and spoiled by autumn rains. Perhaps the most famous of all the fallblooming bulbs is the saffron crocus (Crocus sativus). Before you get too excited about growing your own saffron (the most expensive spice), it takes over 700 little stigmas to

get one ounce (28gm) of saffron. They are beautiful, however, and their brilliant lavender blooms with yellow stamens add real pop to tired summer gardens. There are other varieties as well like C. zonatus (an attractive lavender), C. speciosus (a pinky lavender) and C. cartwrightianus ‘Albus’ (a pretty white). All of these bulbs, planted in well-drained soil, will naturalize nicely and come up year after year. All fall-blooming bulbs should be planted in areas where they can naturalize without interfering with other plants. Underplantings around flowering shrubs, like white altheas or P.G. hydrangeas, make a lovely contrast when the bulbs bloom each fall. Another wonderful combination is to plant them under pink snowberries (Symphoricarpos) for a great autumn display. These bulbs are only dormant in July and August, so you have to be quick on the draw to get them planted immediately for any kind of showing this fall, but they are well worth the effort, believe me. The main bulb supplier for BC has just received their shipment for distribution to garden stores this week, so for this weekend and next week, they should be widely available. I know there are many gardens out there that really need a lift in September, and these precious fall bulbs can add that little spark of colour. Think of them as fall messengers reminding us that in spring our gardens will be inundated with colour from their peers.

Flight Sergeant Laurens Bosman from 147 Air Wolf Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron (RCACS) in Chilliwack grew as a cadet and as a pilot this summer in Comox, B.C. as part of the Glider Pilot Scholarship (GPS) course at the Comox Cadet Flying Training Centre. Said 16-year-old Bosman: “I applied for this course in the hopes that I would have the best summer of my life, and I sure did. I made some awesome friends and I achieved my Cadet Glider Pilot Wings. It just doesn’t get any better than that.” Forty-five cadets enrolled in the six week GPS course, which started June 29. The cadets

You probably already know that moving your body is good for you. However, sometimes working out just to be fit, or keeping accountable to yourself is not Tanja enough to get SHAW you to stick to your routine. For lasting commitment for exercise, many people find it easier to link exercise to a purpose that is beyond themselves. For example, some people keep fit to improve their performance at work, or to make be a great role model for their kids. Some people commit to a training partner or coach so they are accountable to someone else. Another

Clapp takes title at Vancouver Open Chilliwack’s Brad Clapp got some much-needed good vibes with a win at the Vancouver Golf Tour’s Vancouver Open. The tournament was held Aug. 6-8 at

the Ledgeview Golf Club in Abbotsford. Clapp, who’s spent most of this summer fighting to make cuts on the PGA Tour Canada, won the tourney by two strokes with an 11-under-par performance. Clapp shot 69-6666 over three rounds, carding 17 birdies in 54 holes. He was two

strokes better than a trio of golfers who tied for second place — Riley Wheeldon, Ryan Williams and Thomas Hay. Clapp is in the middle of a short break from the PGA Tour Canada, which last played Aug. 2 and next plays Aug. 20. Clapp will tackle the Hylands Golf Club in Ottawa,

ON. next week for the National Capital Open. He tied for 64th in last year’s event. ● The top amateur bracket at the Vancouver Open saw a pair of Chilliwack golfers tie for sixth overall. Cody Stewar t and Connor O’Dell were both nineover-par to finish

nine strokes off the pace set by winner Scott Landreth of Richmond. Kaleb Fisher tied for 18th at 20 over par. Mathew Lamb tied for 21st at 21 over par and Kerry Grittner was 31st at 33 over. Find full results online at vancouvergolftour.com/leaderboard/

Lions game gathering for Team BC prospects

Eight GW Graham football stars are taking the next step in

their bid to make Team BC’s U-16 and U-18 football rosters. Football BC has invited top talent to a practice and team bonding event Aug. 20 in Vancouver. The experience includes tickets to a BC Lions versus Montreal Alouettes Canadian Football League game taking

place that night. Before the game, players will hit the field at Andy Livingstone Park for a practice. Chilliwack players receiving invites on the U-16 side include linebacker Von Richardson, offensive linemen Cooper Middleton and Jake Troyan and

wide receiver Alex Whitehead. Invites on the U-18 side include defensive back Emerson Smith, defensive lineman Jaren Lengert and offensive linemen Michael Lengert and Braydon Winger. The Grizzly contingent hopes to survive one final cut-

down in December and represent BC in the Tanoa Classic. The annual event is usually played in late December and features all-star squads from BC, Washington State and Hawaii. See tanoasports. com/index.html or playfootball.bc.ca for more info.

Let’s face it, not all of us have a lot of time to practice our golf game. Who can hit hundreds or thousands of balls to keep their game from suffering? We all want to get better, but simply don’t have very much time in our day to day to make that happen. But here is a one hour practice routine that you can easily fit in at least once or twice per week. First of all, think about yyour our game for a moment. What W hat are your strengths and weaknesses? Also, consider which parts of your game are used the most. For the average player, at least 30 to 40 per cent of strokes are on the putting green, whereas only about 15 per cent is driving. However, as I watch golfers practice at the course, nearly all of them are working on swing mechanics, usually with their driver. Can you see how this doesn’t match? I recommend that at least 50 per cent (or more) of yyour our practice time be spent on the short game. My one hour practice includes 15 minutes of putting and 15 minutes of chipping. Good putters can do two things really well. They can control distance on longer putts and they are confident they can make putts inside six feet. Be sure to choose putting drills that build these two skills. For your next 30 minutes, head to the driving range. After A fter a good five minute warmup, w armup, spend 20 minutes on approach shots with your wedges w edges through mid irons. These are the most crucial shots you need to keep sharp with your full swing. Be sure not to forget practicing those awkward distance control pitch shots from 30-80 yards. This leaves five minutes for your longer game, including your driver. It is important to keep the ball in play off the tee, but that is one small component of a strong game. Finally, I see many students who spend ample

time on the practice tee, butt don’t see results on the golff course. This is because most people don’t practice simulating golf. Recent research in motorr learning reveals that the most ideal learning environments are consistently challenging the brain. Do you think that repetitively hitting the same shott to the same target with the same club offers a challenging learning environment? Absolutely not, which is why players who practice this way don’t get the desired results. This means that the mostt efficient way for golfers to spend their precious little practice time should be simulating golf as much as possible. Some examples of this are visualizing a golf course on the driving range, and hitting different clubs to different targets. On the putting green, use one ball, not three like mostt golfers do. Go through your entire routine including marking the ball and reading the green. For short-game practice, consider creating a mini course, requiring you to hitt one ball to a practice hole and then make the putt. It doesn’t take a significant amount of time to gett in an effective and efficientt practice session, but be sure to consider what you are spending your time on and how you can simulate actual golf as much as possible.

Maple Leaf magic Chilliwack’s Mitchell Thiessen dominated another Maple Leaf Junior Tour golf event, winning the latest stop in Vernon. Top teens played the Predator Ridge course Monday and Tuesday. Thiessen earned a five stroke victory in the juvenile boys’ division. The course he played was a par-71 6591 yard layout. Thiessen birdied the 14th and 18th holes enroute to an opening round 75. The second round saw him card a 74, including a birdie on eight. It’s the second MJT win of the season for Thiessen. “My bunker play the second day saved me and I made two pars out of the three bunkers I was in,” he said. “The MJT always hosts great tournaments and I love playing Predator Ridge. I am excited to come from behind to win.” A tight race for second saw Brandon Chai of Coldstream, Samuel Hamelin of Stettler, AB, and Parker Wadsworth of Vernon post matching 54’s. The next Maple Leaf Junior Golf Tour event in BC is the MJT Ford Series at Surrey’s Hazelmere Golf Club, running Aug. 31 to Sept. 1.

Chilliwack natives Kayli Sartori and Shayna Cameron will bring extensive experience to the University of the Fraser Valley womensâ€™ basketball team this fall. They are part of head coach Al Tuchschererâ€™s offseason re-tool, bringing in veteran talent to complement a roster of young returnees. â€œItâ€™s a group that has a lot of veteran experience, and a lot of young talent,â€? enthused Tuchscherer, who is heading into his 14th season at the helm of the Cascades. â€œThereâ€™s a ton of potential to be competitive quite quickly.â€? Cameron, a Chilliwack Secondary graduate, comes home to the Fraser Valley for her final season of eligibility following four memorable years at Quest University in Squamish. The five-foot-nine shooting guard is coming off back-to-back PacWest titles and CCAA national tournament appearances with the Kermodes.

McLELLAN, Audrey Doreen (Micki) May 30, 1930 - July 30, 2015 It is with a heavy heart we announce the passing of “Micki” McLellan after a brief illness at Chilliwack General Hospital. A long time resident of Chilliwack, Micki was born in Wolsley, Saskatchewan, the youngest of 8 children to George & Hannah Bishop. After graduating high school in 1948, Micki & her friend, Shirley, took the train to BC to spend the summer with her brother, Bob Bishop, who was stationed at CFB Chilliwack. Both friends met military men and had a double wedding March 25, 1950. Micki worked at CFB Chilliwack for 33 years while raising 2 children, Scott and Joanne. After retirement, Micki and Archie took up golf, becoming members at Kinkora Golf Club, where Micki remained a member after Archie’s passing and won many trophies with the Ladies League. She & Archie were also active members of the Chilliwack Curling Club. Always curious about people and places, she loved to read, travel and was never too busy to stop and chat with friends and acquaintances, some she knew for over 60 years. An avid crib player, enjoying Sunday afternoons at the ANAVets. Some she even won! She had a kind and generous heart for donating and volunteering, this combined with her exceptional organizational skills, made her a true asset to many community events and at her church, St. John’s Anglican. Predeceased by her husband of 61 years, Archie (2011) and her son, Scott (1991) and her 7 siblings. Left to mourn their loss but remembered lovingly by her daughter Joanne (Warren) Hancock, 5 grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews and many friends, especially her best friend of 70 years, Shirley Hayward. Micki, a strong and independent soul, will be remembered at a memorial service FRIDAY, AUGUST 21st at 1:00PM at St John’s Anglican Church, 46078 Higginson Rd Chilliwack. A private family interment to follow at Vedder View Cemetery.
