The alarm is sounded over potential effects on groundwater that the city get its drinking water supply from should their be “an accident or malfunction” of the pipeline. “If the aquifer is contaminated due to an accidental oil spill or leak, the water supply to 76,000 residents and businesses will be affected,” according to the city submission

Sobeys will demolish old Safeway and sell Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A last-ditch effort by Sobeys has yielded a solution in the longstanding problem with the old Safeway property in downtown Chilliwack. City officials had been moving ahead with the paperwork for a demolition order to take down the buildings. However, as a result of lastminute efforts, voluntary compliance has been offered by Sobeys to demolish both structures on the property within 90 days. A letter from Earl Brown, Sobeys vice president, spells out new plans — and even some remorse over the state of the

dilapidated properties at Main and Kipp Street. “Sobeys is in full agreement that the properties in their existing condition are not appealing nor do they add to our mutual desire to have a vibrant downtown,” wrote Brown, in a letter to Mayor Sharon Gaetz, dated Aug. 17. The boarded-up buildings are sitting on a prime chunk of real estate, which is seen as pivotal in the revitalization of the downtown core. Growing frustration by City of Chilliwack with their inability to obtain voluntary compliance by Sobeys to apply for a Vacant Building Regulation permit led to a plan last week to take remedial

action to get the buildings demolished. But in the end it wasn’t necessary. Council members expressed relief at city hall Tuesday night. “I can’t stop smiling,” said Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz, adding her thanks to Sobeys for coming up with a solution. Coun. Chuck Stam offered “kudos” to all involved and said he’s looking forward to “seeing some dust” when the demolition work starts. “This has been a difficult file, and it’s been about 10 years that it has been an eyesore in the downtown.” Coun. Sam Waddington said the voluntary compliance was very welcome by council.

“It’s so much better than having to force the owners to tear down the buildings,” he said. Coun. Sue Attrill called the resolution “wonderful” and said the old Safeway building was the one topic council constantly heard about from residents. “I hope we get notice of the date of demolition so we can get out there and dance a little jig,” she said. The letter by Sobeys made their intent clear. “In order to expedite the potential redevelopment of the downtown property, Sobeys hereby undertakes to have the building structures on the subject properties demolished within ninety Continued: COUNCIL/ p5

Election 2015: Politicians make pitch to parents The first in a series comparing party platforms Tom Fletcher Black Press Parents are spending the money and feeling the love like never before from parties contesting the Oct. 19 federal election. Prime Minister Stephen Harper expanded his favoured approach of direct payments, increasing the Conservative government’s child care benefit plan that has been compared to the former Family Allowance.

The increase was set up to produce bonus cheques to eligible parents in July, retroactive to the start of the year. Payments went up from $100 to $160 a month for each child under six, with a new $60 payment for those aged seven to 17, payable to families regardless of income or method of child care. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau responded by promising a modified version that would phase out the benefit for high-income families and increase payments for the

rest. Building into its calculations a proposed income tax cut for middle and low-income people, the party estimates a two-parent family with an income of $90,0000 and two children would receive $490 a month tax free, compared to the Conservative program of $275 a month after taxes. The Liberals calculate that a single parent with $30,000 income and one child would receive $533 a month, up from $440 under Conservative child benefit and tax rules.

NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has offered to retain the Conser vative payments and expand Quebec’s subsidized daycare program across the country, with a maximum payment of $15 a day and a long-term goal of creating one million new spaces across the country. Mulcair has said the Quebec program allowed 70,000 mothers to return to the workforce, and the NDP program would be available to private daycare operators as

long as they are independent and not “big box” operations. Green Party leader Elizabeth May is also offering a univerADA CANTES sal federally-funded child care program, VO including support for workplace daycare through a direct tax credit to employers of $1,500 a year. The Green Party also wants to appoint a national children’s commissioner to advise government on policy.

Low-interest loan for GBE to grow on Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Organic farmer Michael Allen of Chilliwack says he gets a thrill out of making a difference in people’s lives with his heirloom produce. The Allen family farm on Luckakuck Way has grown to become the second largest organic greenhouse operation in Western Canada. The incredibly sweet taste of the vine-ripened tomatoes, with an incomprehensible 100 varieties grown over the past eight years, is always the “show-stopper,” says Allen, owner of GBE Chilliwack Heirloom Organic Farm. When you get right down to it, taste counts for a lot. They sell out regularly because of superior taste and an increasingly savvy clientele. “When you believe in a lifestyle, it motivates what you do. “Simplicity is key,” Allen tells The Progress. Making a difference in people’s lives has the edge over making money for him, he underlines. Now he’s getting a little help with a low-interest low to purchase more equipment, like an in-line tiller and more, courtesy of Whole Foods Market and its Local Producer Loan Program. “This is a great situation,” the farmer notes. He was planning to attend a cheque presentation at Whole Foods Market in Vancouver Thursday to celebrate the $60,000 low-interest loan. They’re taking the opportunity offer samples of their brand-new tomato chips. “They have built an incredible business and have cultivated a customer base that loves their product,” said Denise Breyley, Whole Foods Market’s ‘local forager’ in the Pacific Northwest. “It’s thrilling to partner with them on the next chapter of their success story.” Allen is deeply appreciative of

the financing program. “It’s like Whole Foods is telling us they like the food so much they want to support us and help us grow.” All of the GBE produce is grown in soil. They have more than 20 acres of outdoor fields, and a three-acre greenhouse at Luckakuck Way and Evans Road. Their philosophy is to treat the soil exceptionally well, building it up in the belief that micronutrients can be absorbed more naturally by the plants. They use natural methods for pest control and fertilization. However, not being able to adequately supply the voracious demand for GBE’s product line is a bit of a sore spot. “It’s hard dealing with the financials,” he explains. “If you grow too quickly, you can’t keep up with the growth. It can turn around and

bite you.” If he has a pet peeve, it’s the lack of financial support shown by the provincial government, which spends about two per cent of the GDP on agriculture, compared to the Canadian average of 11 per cent. He points to the high fees, duty and levies farmers have to pay. “It’s always about getting over the hump. Farming is always, ‘let’s set what happens this year.’” That’s why it helps being passionate about what they do. The Allen family has been farming since 2002, and the Chilliwack operation was certified organic in 2007. Found in most of the larger grocery stores now, GBE grows everything from heirloom tomatoes, beans, peppers and basil, along with watermelons, kale, corn and blueberries. Some of the varieties of toma-

toes and beans are two-toned, or striped and they come in a rainbow of colours and shapes. They haven’t been crossbred for uniformity of colour and size. They even cultivate a heritage Jamaican green known as callaloo, and a commercial volume of organic Chilliwack corn — which is rare. Through their loan program, Whole Foods Market is providing $25 million in low-interest loans to local growers, producers and food artisans, like GBE. With the financing, GBE is buying new equipment to improve the farm’s efficiency and to enhance production. “Ultimately, this loan is an investment in our shared commitment to organic farming practices,” Allen adds. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Concerned neighbours are being credited with the arrest of two people in Sardis, and the recovery of stolen property. Chilliwack RCMP say an alert neighbour noticed two people hopping a fence and entering a vacant home at around 7 a.m. in the 45700 block of Keith Wilson Road. Police responded, supported by the emergency response team and the integrated police dog services. Two people were found inside. Travis Michael Thompson, 35, from Chilliwack faces charges of obstructing a peace officer and failing to comply with a recognizance stemming from the Aug. 13 arrest. Thompson remains in custody pending a court appearance later in August on this and one other unrelated incident. A 30-year-old Chilliwack woman was released from custody pending a court appearance later in August for an unrelated incident. The vacant home was already on police radar. A day earlier RCMP were called to the location after four people were reportedly seen inside. When police arrived, the building was empty. However, they did find stolen property inside that police quickly linked to several thefts in the Sardis area. RCMP officers continue to follow all investigational leads into the thefts. “Vigilant home owners reporting unusual activity to police is essential to reduce crime and keep our community safe,” said Cpl. Mike Rail. Police remind anyone who witnesses anything suspicious to contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611.

Sto:lo salmon event Saturday Sam Bates The Progress Salmon is not only a succulent dish, it’s sacred. This Saturday Aug. 22, enjoy some delicious salmon while learning about its impor tance to the Sto:lo culture by attending Sto:lo Salmon, Our Relative. The upcoming event is part of Sto:lo Tourism’s Cultural Experience Series which takes place at the Coqualeetza site. These free, public welcome events are meant to inspire and build community relationships across cultures. The event will be lead by cultural advisor and Sto:lo historian, Sonny McHalsie, who has been working as a researcher in cultural heritage and aboriginal rights issues since 1985. Fishing is one of his primary areas of

expertise. As McHalsie will share, the Sto:lo people have always had a very strong bond with salmon — so close in fact, that they see salmon as their extended family. “In our ancient stories, ancestors transformed into salmon and other animals,” explained McHalsie. The event will include explanations and demonstrations for fishing and cooking methods, and an overall examination of the significance of salmon to Sto:lo culture. The Sto:lo community honours salmon by conducting the First Salmon Ceremony each year. “When the first salmon is caught, it is brought back to share with as many people as possible within the community, which could be upwards of 350 people,” McHalsie

said. Even if each person only gets a morsel of salmon, it is sacred. The unused portions of the salmon (guts, bones) are saved, then respectfully returned to the river by a specified group of Sto:lo people. The ceremony is intended to thank the salmon for coming back every year, and thank the river for bringing the salmon to them. Along with his ceremonial exper tise, McHalsie will share the historical impor-

tance of salmon as nourishment (in comparison to other meats), the value of salmon for trading, and current issues regarding salmon conservation. You’ll take home a greater understanding of Sto:lo culture and tradition, as well as some salmon or bannock by donation. The Sto:lo Salmon, Our Relative event is Aug. 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Sto:lo Resource Centre (#107201 Vedder Road).

Based on the letter of commitment to demolish, the permit applications, and plan to market the properties quickly, council agreed Tuesday night to drop the requirement for remedial action on the two properties at 9299 Main Street and 45777 Kipp Avenue. Sobeys Inc. purchased all of Canada Safeway’s assets in November 2013, and the Sobeys

affiliated company, SDLP Snowcat Limited is the registered owner of the Chilliwack properties. The Sobeys VP thanked the mayor, and staff in his letter, “for taking time out of your weekend to come up with a solution for the former Safeway and Government Liquor Store buildings on Main Street.” Brown closed with: “Thank you for your patience in addressing this issue. Sobeys regrets very much that the state of these properties was not addressed sooner.”

Food bank’s call for support being heard Police chase Sam Bates The Progress News of the Chilliwack food bank shortage has travelled fast, and people are taking action. Community members have started creating fundraising efforts in order to help the Chilliwack Salvation Army supply enough food to sustain the increased demand. One local business that has stepped up is Studio B Yoga. Crystal Hasell, studio director, said “we saw the article and figured we could easily put something together to help.” She immediately came up with a fundraising project for her studio. By Wednesday morning, she had an event cre-

ated on Facebook, a notice put out through Studio B Yoga’s social media and newsletter, and a basket set up in the studio. Until August 31, anyone who brings in a food donation will be entered to win a one-month unlimited studio pass. Each item donated equals another entry, with no limit to the number of entries available per person. “We have the traffic and the ability to help, so we thought ‘why not?’,” said Hasell. The fundraiser aligns with the studio's goal to be balanced, mindful and to give back. They will also be providing a free, weekly yoga class beginning Sept. 12. Donations can be dropped off at the studio (#8-45540 Market Way) before or after one of their

28 scheduled weekly classes. See studiobyoga.ca for their class schedule and more information. If you prefer to rock out while being charitable, there's a place for you as well. Duncan Mattila has organized a fundraising show at the Echo Room Night Club for Saturday night. He and Kevin Gemmell of 89.5 The Drive have been working on this idea since July. For just $10, the show will feature three local bands, Rockabilly Jay & The Cadillac Bones (playing rockabilly), Of Lesser Evil (metal), and The Brian West Band (classic rock), who have all donated their time. All proceeds will be donated

to the food bank. Those who bring a food donation will receive a "small token of our appreciation," while supplies last, said Mattila. The show starts at 9 p.m. at the Echo Room (9282 Main Street). Matilla hopes to make this an annual event. Many other individuals and groups have also donated. Well done, Chilliwack, for stepping up and coming together to help our local food bank. The shortage has reached dire levels this year and every little bit helps. The most needed items are protein-rich canned meats, chunky soups and dried pasta. The Salvation Army Care & Share Centre is located at 45746 Yale Road.

Chilliwack details KM pipeline concerns PIPELINE from Front “While it is difficult to quantifiably estimate the consequences arising from such an event, the water supply system would be severely impaired until an alternate, safe water supply source can be found for drinking purpose, resulting in substantial costs

and hardships to the city and its citizens. “Once contaminated, it is unlikely that the aquifer could be remediated to use for drinking water purposes again.” Transparency issues are mentioned as well. “The city shares the same concerns expressed by other local governments in

these proceedings regarding the lack of transparency, accountability and opportunity for meaningful input into Trans Mountain’s pipeline environmental protection, spill prevention, emergency response and emergency management plans.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

A Chilliwack man is behind bars and faces a boatload of charges after being arrested last week. When a member of the RCMP’s Integrated Police Dog section approached a red minivan in downtown Chilliwack around 4:45 p.m. last Thursday, the van took off. It was spotted minutes later on Victoria Street, and abandoned by its driver on Corbould Street. Twenty nine year old Joshua Alex Herrling was chased down and taken into custody. “Police work is inherently dangerous and traffic stops are one of the highest risk duties we perform,” said RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail. “Fortunately this incident ended with no one being hurt.” A search of the van allegedly turned up drugs that police believe to be crystal meth, crack cocaine and heroin. Police also found brass knuckles equipped with a device capable of producing a high voltage electrical shock. The charges Herrling faces include flight from police, possession of a prohibited weapon (two counts), possession of a controlled substance (two counts) and driving while prohibited. He will appear in court at the end of August.

Incentive to butt out

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

Like removing a band-aide, Chilliwack’s decision to ban smoking in outdoor public places was short, sharp and effective. It left a sting for some, but for most there was relief. Chilliwack had hinted change was coming after temporary “No Smoking” signs had gone up on city trails weeks ago. But on Tuesday, city staff introduced a new bylaw that now makes it illegal to light up in city parks, playgrounds, along trails or at any outdoor sporting event or special function. Bus stops and entrances to swimming pools and skating rinks must also be given a wide berth. Failure to comply could lead to a $500 fine. The move drew unanimous approval. Support for the new bylaw came on two fronts: health and safety. The city brought in representatives from Fraser Health, who pointed out smoking related deaths in Chilliwack rank 30 per cent higher than the provincial average. “The City of Chilliwack is to be commended for its leadership in this important initiative,” wrote the FHA. Support also came from the Chilliwack fire department. Firefighters have been called out to 134 grass and bark mulch fires this year caused by tossed cigarettes. That’s an increase of 200 per cent over last year. And while the new bylaw will do little to prevent motorists from tossing butts out their car window, the bigger concern is the damage they could do if they were dropped on a tinder-dry trail. Reaction to the bylaw was predictable. Those who smoke see this as another attack on their right to enjoy a product that is legal. Even some non-smokers argued the move was excessive and likely unenforceable. However, there were also those who breathed a sigh of relief. There may not be 100 per cent compliance, but the bylaw may be enough to discourage some from sharing their habit with those around them. And who knows, the bylaw might provide the final incentive for someone to butt out completely and improve Chilliwack’s dismal record for smoking related deaths. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Lower water proving a tough summer for salmon Just about everyone knew this was coming. With the Chilliwack River recording flows at 32 per cent of the median flow, well below the recorded minimum flow of the river for this time of year, and many other rivers at or below minimum flows, Fisheries and Oceans Canada has closed fishing for salmon along the Fraser River in sub-areas 29-6, 29-7, 29-9, and 29-10 and the tidal waters of the Fraser. Those sub-areas are also known as the banana. The tidal waters are those waters from the mouth of the Fraser to the downstream edge of the CPR Bridge at Mission. FOC stated that current run size estimates of Fraser River summer run sockeye salmon combined with record water temperatures have resulted in no allowable harvest and a conservation concern.

“We are definitely in favour of the closure if conser vation is the concern,” said Gary Wardroper, owner of Chilliwack Dart and Tackle. “They are saying it’s about the stocks of concern and we are all about that in the store.” Margaret By and large, customers are EVANS right behind him. While some might question if there’s a hidden agenda, Wardroper said that there is no hidden agenda on this issue. “It’s truly about the fish. The fish stocks are very low. We need to see all of the sockeye get to the spawning beds so that they will come back in three or four years.

It’s an investment in the future.” A month ago, federal fisheries were warning about record ocean and river temperatures and lower water levels giving a double whammy to B.C. salmon. For young salmon that have swum out to sea, they are dealing with not only the warm waters killing off some of their food but a rise in predators. The conditions could result in weak, undersize fish that might not survive a return migration. Chances are that there could well be lower numbers of salmon returning to spawning beds in the future. The warm river waters are also deadly hazards. The salmon’s swimming performance is affected when water temperatures reach 18 degrees C. A weakened immune system leaves them open

Progress

for disease. With each increasing degree, conditions get dire. In past hot summers, as many as 40 to 70 per cent of returning salmon died before they were able to spawn. But all is not yet lost for fishing opportunities. “We’re going to be fishing on the Fraser at the end of the month,” said Wardroper. “That will be for pink, chum, and spring salmon. By then, the sockeye will have already passed through and there will be no impact on them.” He said that usually late sockeye runs are a little more abundant. With the pinks in the system there will be little impact on the sockeye and the pinks tend to push the sockeye further out than where people can target them. “The pink salmon notoriously come closer in,” he explained. “They are a lazy fish and they

choose the easiest water and push all the sockeye fish out into the middle of the river. We’re expecting between 10 and 20 million pinks coming back.” Even so, with this hot and excessively dry year, many are wondering what is ahead. Wardroper, who has been in business for 26 years, said he has never seen the Chilliwack River this low. Will the Blob in the North Pacific Ocean, where surface temperatures are three degrees Celsius warmer than normal, work with the coming El Nino to push us through another warm, snow-free winter? Will that lead to another spring with little meltwater to feed the streams and rivers? If so, where will the salmon go to pass on their genes?

Public schools becoming more private curriculum drove the fundamental principle that all students regardless of their neighborhood should receive the same education. Teachers would deliver the same curriculum using the same standards and methodology. With this one significant change in school/ community relationship we lost a significant part of that. Magnet schools appeared with the approval of school boards. Fine Arts Schools, Traditional Schools and more competed for enrolment leaving the “ordinary” schools to fend for themselves without any special “flavour of the month” to retain and/or attract students. Some introduced an extracurricular focus with Soccer, Baseball and Hockey “Academies” in an attempt to attract more capable and affluent students. Yes affluent because in my experience parents who are financially able to transport their children across town to a school generally come from more affluent neighborhoods. One of the visible outcomes of this change is traffic jams in school parking lots. I would agree that this isn’t the only reason parents drive their children to school. Fear is another big factor. In an attempt

to help mitigate this growing problem and safety concern our school district introduced “Courtesy Rides” so if your children lived on an existing school bus route they could get a ride even when they lived outside the normal catchment area. Now with the recent return to fees for school bussing, I am wondering how many “Courtesy Riders” will be required to pay these fees. Probably none but with all the significant reductions in funding for our schools, this may well be the first of many fees to come. Is this beginning to sound like a private school system? Fees are supposed to be illegal in the public school system I believe. However fees have become an accepted part of the cost of sending your children to school. This was never the case. Fees were only paid in private schools. Are our public schools transforming steadily into private schools? If it looks like a duck as they say. Public schools with alternative offerings, uniforms, fees and competitive attitudes to be better and more attractive to parents, sure sound like private schools to me.

Smoking ban roasted

Greendale Good Samaritans

Re: City moves to ban outdoor smoking, Chilliwack Progress, Aug. 19. This is without a doubt the most ridiculous idea I’ve ever heard. Is this becoming a Police State? Indoor ban is fine but outdoor ban is infringing on my rights. Having travelled a great deal I have never been in a city with so much trash on the streets and morons riding their bikes on the sidewalks, now you want to add another law that shouldn’t be enforced as well as won’t be enforced.

Every summer I return to my summer cottage in the Qu’Appelle Valley in Saskatchewan and this year my daughter flew from Saskatoon to drive with me. We left Chilliwack on June 26th’ via #3 Highway and stopped at the Mariposa Fruit Stand, near Keremeos. Jo-Anne was excited to see all the fresh fruit and put her wallet on the table beside her while she filled a bag with apples. When she went to pick up her wallet it was gone. She was devastated. Not only were her credit cards and I.D. gone but also $150 her husband had given her so we could enjoy some time with my granddaughter who was flying into Calgary from China. It was 38 degrees and Jo-Anne was standing in the shade of a tree, cancelling her credit cards, trying to hold back the tears, when a white truck pulled up beside her. A man and his wife got out and overheard her conversation. They sympathized with her, saying their daughter had her purse stolen, with all her I.D. two days before her wedding, and they were able to give advice about who to contact. Then the husband did something that brought tears to our eyes – he reached for his wallet and handed Jo-Anne a hundred dollar bill. I didn’t catch their names, but they are chicken farmers in Greendale and had been dairy farmers at Abbotsford. We were overwhelmed by this act of kindness and the feeling has stayed with us all summer. May God bless the Greendale Good Samaritans.

Smoking ban welcomed Re: City moves to ban outdoor smoking, Chilliwack Progress, Aug. 19. I am extremely pleased to hear the city is looking at passing a bylaw to prohibit smoking in public in the city. All too often we have to inhale the exhale of these people. They seem to ignore the ‘no smoking with 6 meters of entrances’ sign and are everywhere in the outdoor eating establishments. It is a new millennium and about time these people are put in their place and not in my face. Tom Duncan Chilliwack

In my view one of the most damaging decisions made in recent years affecting our public schools was the dissolution of school boundaries and to some extent, catchment areas. Our schools have always been a vital contributor to our sense of community. When neighbourhoods were built around a school there were opportunities for parents and children to form important relationships. These relationships often started at the school as parents and teachers with shared interests worked together to build a sense of community and a safe healthy place for their children. When school boundaries and catchment areas were removed in the name of choice we experienced a new, and in my view, unhealthy change in the sociology of neighborhoods. Decision makers at the time thought that by removing these traditional boundaries and giving parents choice they would be providing opportunities to equalize enrolment. In very short order schools were in competition with each other for students. Universality in public schooling was on a path to extinction. Universality of service and

Enjoy a sample of Greendale country Jessica Peters The Progress It’s another blistering hot summer day in Greendale, but at Willow Creek Vineyard a calm breeze is cooling the air. Butterflies flit around the grapes that hang in tightly-packed clusters from their vines. There are 12 rows of cabernet foch, and the grapes are a deep indigo already. Cabernet foch is a less common, older variety, Cindy Stiffon explains on a slow meander through her property. They’ll be ready for harvest soon, but aren’t quite sweet enough yet. For now, they create the perfect backdrop for a summer’s day in the country. And that’s exactly what the public is invited to do this Saturday, Aug. 22, as they take part in the Greendale Country Sampler. Like all the stops on the annual, self-guided tour, the offerings at Willow Creek Vineyard are diverse. The vineyard recently has branched out to host weddings and other gatherings, and the property will be staged on Saturday to give an idea of what they can offer. At the end of the rows of grapevines, for example, stands a silver cottonwood tree that’s at least a century old. Guests can sit in the natural shade of the tree, while rustic barrels, stumps, and items like an old decorated door, have been strategically placed to add to the country charm. Private garden spaces dot the property, as guests are invited to stroll around, take photos with the lilies, dahlias and other flowers Stiffon grows there. And as the name implies, a creek running behind the vineyard is lined with massive, drooping willow trees. This summer, Willow Creek hosted its first few weddings, as one of the newest venues in the Fraser Valley. “Our first bride, she really took a leap of faith,” Stiffon says. When she booked her wedding, the property seemed far from ready. The main building that houses small dinners, a dance floor, a bar and kitchen, didn’t even have siding on it yet. But there was no reason to worry. By the time her big day

came around, Willow Creek was more than she had ever expected. Stiffon is an interior designer by trade, and her skills are evident everywhere. “We’re girls, we’re all about the pretty,” she says, peering into the bathroom of the indoor venue. This bathroom (which is wheelchair accessible) is for the brides and other women, she says with a giggle, while the men get relegated to porta-potties. They’ve also built a full industrial kitchen, with an inviting bar that adds to any social gathering. And this bar has a special touch. As can happen with large trees, one of the willows came down in an ice storm. A friend of Stiffon’s turned a slab of that willow tree into a beautiful, raw edge bar top. She has also had cutting/ serving blocks made out of the willow’s wood, and they will be available to purchase during the Sampler, along with walnuts, sunflowers, and other goodies. “We use everything that grows

here,” she says, adding that they’re also certified organic. “We can pick an apple and just eat it.” While Stiffon will be leaving the venue partly staged from the most previous wedding — her niece’s — she will also be hosting Susie Quilts, whose beautiful creations will be on display inside. This will be the 10th annual Greendale Country Sampler. It was started as a way to promote businesses in the rural, light traffic area. It offers Greendale residents a chance to get to know their neighbours, while drawing in visitors from all over the valley. “Originally when we started it was a lot of local Chilliwack people that would come out,” says Tawnya Walsh, owner of Rustic Soap Co. and one of the event organizers. “Now we get a lot more from places like Langley and Vancouver.” Being on the Circle Farm Tour has really boosted Greendale’s profile. But so has the growing list of high-quality specialty busi-

nesses in the community. From artisan goat cheeses to an internationally-known quilt shop, and farms that offer products straight from the field, shopping in Greendale is a memorable experience. Each of the stops on the tour will have a Greendale Sampler Sign, and each location will have a map visitors can take with them to guide them through the community. “There’s going to be a lot of tours and demos and sampling,” Walsh says. “Local Harvest is offering free u-pick raspberries that day which is pretty cool, also fresh fruits and veggies.” Many places will have a shady spot to sit and enjoy a picnic of goodies found along the way. Of special mention would be the Five Acres Ranch, Walsh adds. “It’s the one garden that’s not actually open to the public,” she says. “It’s just their personal home and gardens, and they do such a lovely job.”

There is even time for some root crops like beets. In the worst-case scenario, all you will get are the greens, but even they are delicious. Lettuce is, by far, the most popular of greens, and seeded now, almost any variety of leaf lettuce will do just fine.

Simpsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Red Sailsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, will be on your table in 45 days. My favourite though is the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Simply Saladâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; series of four different blends for late September and October enjoyment. Certain varieties of bunching onions and scallions can still be planted for fall harvests because they mature in 60 days. Up until that time, you have the greens to enjoy. There are also hardy winter varieties you can plant now for harvesting in spring. Believe it or not, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Walla Wallasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are the hardiest onion and can be transplanted out now. Who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find a spot for radishes? Almost any variety matures in 25 days and in drier weather, you will find fewer maggots. Keep them out of old cabbage areas and rake a little wood ash into the soil for better maggot control. Many folks also transplant the late â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Lacinatoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;(Black Tuscan), â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Winterborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Redborâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; kale at this time of year, as well as late broccoli, late cabbage and yes, even self-blanching cauliflower. Winter hardy leeks can go in now as well, to round out your winter gardens. Today there is an excellent selection of transplants for late veggies. You will probably not have enough empty spaces to plant all these wonderful fall vegetables, but give some a try. When the weather cools down and all the tomatoes, peas, beans and peppers are gone, just think what you can look forward to - your own fresh taste of fall.

Firefighters earn Sts’ailes thanks Lorene Keitch Black Press It was authentic, anticipated and appreciated. The Sts'ailes people and provincial wildfire crews gathered together last week to meet, to share a meal and, by the end, to share a bond. The school gym was filled with about 150 firefighters from across the province as well as a 24-person crew from South Africa. They were invited by Sts'ailes band as a thank you for their hard work to protect the traditional lands of the Sts'ailes people in the Wood Lake wildfire. “We really, really appreciate the work you have been doing,” Chief Harvey Paul said to the firefighters. “We thank the firefighters for coming out and protecting our land and our homes.” Mitch Pence, incident commander for the Wood Lake wildfire, said he was proud of all the firefighters who all put in 110 per cent. He thanked the Sts'ailes band for the opportunity to gather together and share a meal. Before the speeches, while digging into his salmon dinner, Pence said for a community to host a dinner for fire crews is not something

he has encountered very often. “This is pretty special,” he commented. Other firefighters certainly agreed. Pierce Fifield is a wildfire fighter out of Terrace. He's been on a provincial crew for the past five years. He says every summer gets so busy, these kinds of things don't happen. “It really boosts morale, and shows how much they really care,” Fifield says. For the Sts'ailes

people, gathering to share a meal in celebration is common. What is uncommon this year is the lack of salmon. Band councillor and cultural manager Kelsey Charlie (Tixweltel) says usually right now, they would be in the middle of salmon catching season. But the same day as the dinner, the whole Fraser River was shut down for sockeye salmon fishing. “We'd normally be fishing almost three to four days a week, but

they closed it right down because of conservation,” says Charlie. “We're OK with that, being that we're stewards of the land. We want to make sure it's there for generations to come.” But it means the salmon they shared wasn't just any meal. It was the best, and the most precious, they could offer. “That salmon is like gold,” says Charlie. “That's our soul food.” Continued: TIRED/ p18

Tired firefighters earn some First Nations hospitality FIRE from page 17 After dinner, each crew was presented with certificates of thanks and a small gift

on behalf of the Stsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ailes people. Pence was presented with a drum to bring back to the provincial fire headquarters as thanks for their work and he presented

Chief Charlie with a gift on behalf of the provincial fire service. Julia English, Apex crew boss out of Nelson, told the crowd when they received their cer-

tificates that they very much appreciated the recognition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get complacent up there, [when we] donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working for. Thank

you,â&#x20AC;? she said. When the South African crew came up to receive their certificates, they were asked if they would perform a song from their home-

land. They summoned up the energy after a full day of working on the fire, and what took place next was something magical. They performed a riveting,

a capella song and dance routine, then gestured for the assembled guests to join in. If you know anyone from Nelson, you probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be surprised that they leapt up first. But soon after, dozens of firefighters from all across the province were up and in a circle, dancing and singing and celebrating together. The room was united in song and dance, and for a moment, there was no fire, and no different nations or peoples. Just joy filled men and women, smelling of fire, their bellies full of salmon, joined as one. The Stsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ailes band also shared a song, with a traditional drum and dance. As firefighters left the gym after the last song, it was obvious they were tired but content. A bushybearded B.C. firefighter high-fived a South African crew member as they got to their trucks. Small clusters of firefighters walked together, reminiscing about the evening. And they all headed back to their work camp down the road, ready to face the Wood Lake Wildfire another day.

Team building Tatarnic’s big challenge

Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Jason Tatarnic’s social experiment is about to begin as the 2015-16 Chilliwack Chiefs gather Monday for the start of training camp. Tatarnic’s locker room dynamic is different this year, thanks to a recruiting binge in the state of Connecticut. The Chiefs head coach is bringing in eight players from ‘The Constitution State,’ seven of them from one all-star high school squad. Vimal Sukumaran, Kale Kane, Jeremy Germain, Jake Smith, Ben Sharf, Zach Giuttari and Matteo Esposito were all members of the U-18 Connecticut Wolf Park, 2015 Toyota-USA Hockey Youth Tier 1 National champs. Another Connecticut kid, Tommy Dunleavy, is jumping in to replace Eric Benshadle, who committed to the Chiefs and then decided to pursue a USHL opportunity instead. This group of recruits steps into a locker room that’s stocked with returning play-

ers Brandon Potomak, Ryan Roseboom, Darren Rizzolo, Olivier Arseneau, Aiden Pelino, Dennis Cholowski, Mark Esposito, Bennett Mor rison, Jesse Lansdell and Jordan Kawaguchi. There is potential for cliques to develop, for the locker room to be split right down the middle between new and old. “A lot of people have put that question out whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing recruiting so many kids from one school,” Tatarnic admitted. He doesn’t foresee problems. “We might not recruit the most skilled players all the time like other teams do,” the coach noted. “We really try to recruit on character first, and that helps with integration.” “If you have good kids that ‘get it,’ they generally care about everyone on the team and it’s an easier process for them.” Still, there are things a crafty coach can do to push the process in the right direction. Walk into the Chiefs’ sanctuary and you’ll notice Tatarnic has carefully arranged the name placards so new and old alternate all the way around the room. “They’re going to get in there, look to their left and right and see kids they don’t know,” he said. “So they’re going to get to know two new kids right away.” Tatarnic believes the training camp structure

works in his favour. Starting Monday, his players will have very little time to split off into groups. “We’re doing two-adays Monday through Thursday and then we’re into exhibition games, so they’re being thrown into the fire right away together,” he said. Teams often conduct ‘team building’ exercises off the ice. Tatarnic’s crew will get together for a hike after their last exhibition game. “Us and Langley have discussed doing a team-builder together, us against them in paintball,” Tatarnic chuckled. “We’re still toying around with that idea because we’re not entirely sure how it would end.” The final element working in the coach’s favour is an offseason dressing room renovation. The key addition is theatre seating for 24 and a 65 inch television. “It’s going to allow them to get to know each other a little better and I expect them to be in here more than they were last year,” Tatarnic said. ● The Chiefs made a late addition to the training camp roster, adding defenceman Austin Adam. Standing six-foot-five and tipping the scales at 205 pounds, Adam has 182 games of major junior experience with the Western Hockey League’s Everett Silvertips and Moose

Jaw Warriors. “He passed through waivers in the WHL and reached out to us,” Tatarnic said. “He skates well. He’s very mobile and he played in a very structured sys-

tem under coach Kevin Constantine in Everett. I’m looking to him for some quiet leadership, showing the way with his experience.” Adam had seven goals and 24 points in

his WHL career. ● The Chiefs have onice sessions Tuesday and Wednesday from 10:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. They’ll skate on

the main ice sheet at Prospera Centre. For all other on-ice times, see the Chiefs Twitter and Facebook feeds. Also see chilliwackchiefs.net.

Chilliwack’s Connor McMillan led his University of the Fraser Valley mens’ soccer squad into battle Tuesday night. McMillan and company traveled to Burnaby to face Simon Fraser University, going toe to toe with the Clansmen in a 1-1 draw. The Cascades men got off to a great start and seized the lead in the 11th minute when midfielder Kree Bryne blasted a shot past Clan keeper Brandon Watson on a quick counterattack. The Clan knotted the score in the 72nd minute when freshman midfielder Dzenan Bezdrob – a second-half substitute – split the defence to notch his first collegiate goal. MacMillan was his usual dangerous self in the midfield. His team heads south for four games in five days against Washington State and Oregon opponents. See ufvcascades.ca

AT&OR V O N RE RCIAL

A few things race-car drivers learn writes Robert Adams I just want to point out how quickly drivers can learn (or not learn) from their racing career. Some things you pick up on pretty quickly, like ensuring you have your fire suit on and seat belts done up. Seems like ‘no brainer’ stuff, but just in case drivers get preoccupied just we have an official and pit crews that actually check for seat belt tightness etc. But even with the best diligence offered by the crew and officials, some things you learn as you go. Here are the top five ‘must remember’ things for a driver: #1 - Keep the car away from the wall. It seems that if you keep it away from the wall and ensure all four tires generally stay on the track in the right place, you will probably finish. Even if you’re last, it is still better than a DNF, not to mention the additional costs of repair. Also, racing in itself can cause a great amount of anxiety on a driver, and just cruising at 100 kilometre per hour on a car’s roof can add to that stress. Lesson: Avoid other cars, avoid the wall. #2 - Check the fuel content. Check it again, and then have someone else check it too. Many times fuel, or lack thereof, can cause a car to slowly decelerate. The driver goes, “damn,” as he coasts

into the pits, losing position totally. I’ve seen fights break out amongst crews and drivers as to who the idiot was that said we had enough fuel in the tank for this race. It’s really a very embarrassing situation have to explain to your sponsors why you failed to finish over something as simple as this. Fuel is the most precious commodity on the track, so make sure you don’t leave home without it. #3 - Brakes are your friend and not to be abused. The aim is to continue to keep speed up wherever possible, including the turns, because keeping speed allows you to keep momentum. This momentum allows you those precious tenths of seconds over your closest rival, so utilizing brakes in a limited fashion is the ideal. But in a 100 lap race, it’s not uncommon to actually see the fully red disks glowing brightly from too much brake use in the turns. This is not good when, all of a sudden, someone goes sideways in front of you, and you have no brakes left to avoid them. Expletives are used abundantly by the driver at this point, but to no avail. The end result is usually more repairs. #4 - Leaks are a bad. Full on drainage is worse. It’s not uncommon to have the occasional

leak, whether it be slow leak in a tire or small drip from the transmission. Every race and pit crew aims to eliminate these possibilities, which helps win races. Once in a while though, an oil change is done, transmission replaced or such, and someone forgets to double check the tightness of the drainage bolts or filters. It’s not only embarrassing to have complete loss of oil pressure while racing, resulting in a DNF for the driver, but we sometimes have to then spend 30-60 minutes in a cleanup routine. This just totally inconveniences the fans, and on behalf of every driver I would like to apologize for this. We do our best, but sometimes drivers learn this one on their own. Check all bolts before every race, including the lug nuts, as we see that all the time too.

SATURDAY

We have lots of drivers who have entire sections of fans in the bleachers, and it’s lovely to see that kind of support. Every once in while the driver tries to acknowledge them through a wave or a glance up to the stands. Sometimes, with the race in hand the driver will slightly ease up to wave just before the finish line. This provides the split second needed by the driver behind to finish .4 of a meter ahead

On Wednesday, August 19 at 4:45am, a man with a white T-shirt and short cropped hair stole my children's blue 50cc Canadian tire quad. I saw him from the back he was pushing the quad toward Vedder Elementary school field but may have gone toward Thomas and the GW Graham tennis courts. The front bumper is broken off the quad which was also taken. The quad still has the plastic wrap on the seat it leaks oil and no longer charges the battery. What makes me upset is that someone would steal from a child. My daughter saved her own money up to buy the quad. If you have any information on this please contact the Chilliwack RCMP. 8/15F_SQ21

On what should have been Karverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 40th birthday we would like to express our gratitude to those responsible for bringing â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Karverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; forward from an idea into a reality. The trail was officially opened this spring and follows the ridge down from Mt Thom to Ross Road in Ryder Lake. The donation of the land and the building of the trail upon it are the only good things that have come from something so very very bad, and the act of creating this addition to Mt Thom Park has done a lot to restore our faith in humanity. It shows us that yes, there are still kind people in the world. It was our privilege to have been related to someone whose good nature and great love of nature inspired the amazing act of generosity that resulted in such an awesome piece of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;private landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; being reborn as â&#x20AC;&#x2122;parklandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. We know that Karver would be so pleased that the area that he loved will be preserved for all time for others to enjoy, and he would be so proud to have this lasting legacy bear his name. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Karverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Trailâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; allows passage through a glorious sample of nature at its best, and we are thrilled that the whole community can finally enjoy the opportunity to embrace and appreciate the land for now and for generations to come. Those responsible for taking him from us much too soon need to bear consequences for their actions.

OBITUARIES

Gillon Francis Thomas

Burton Franklin Oliver

April 22,1923 August 11, 2015 Frank passed peacefully after a long illness. Predeceased by his wife, Evelyn, of 65 years, his daughter Annabelle, and his son Ernest. Survived by Children; Ethel Baron, Isabel (Bruce) Jardine, Linda (Peter) Tagmann, Brenda Vervoort, Shirley Burton, Wayne Burton and by 6 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren, and one great great grandchild. He also has 4 surviving sisters. An avid gardener, inventive builder, and craftsman. Born in Swan River, Manitoba, and farming in the Big Woody area, the family moved west, eventually settling in Chilliwack where they made their home for the last quarter century. Always ready with a joke, full of smiles and laughs, and always ready for lunch out. He was a war veteran and his duty will always be remembered. He will be missed. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Alzheimer’s Society (BC or Canada). Funeral services will be held on August 27th at 11:00 am at Carman United Church, 7258 Vedder Road, Chilliwack, BC.

COWHIG, Peter James aka Uncle Wonderful May 2, 1950 - August 10, 2015 It is with deep sadness our family announces the passing of Peter Cowhig. Peter is survived by his daughter, Jasmine McNeil; grandchildren, Charley, Ben, and Georgia McNeil; as well as his mother, Jeannette Cowhig; sisters, Mary, Gemma, and Margaret; and brothers, John, Michael, and Paul. He revelled in the role of “Uncle Wonderful” to his many nieces and nephews. Although Peter’s career was in Real Estate, his passion was his family, fishing, film, and stage. He was often found on stage at Surrey Little Theatre and Langley Players, although he discovered his love of acting at Gallery 7 in Abbotsford. Peter grew up in Vancouver, but spent most of his adult years living, working, and playing in the Fraser Valley. He had a deep, enduring appreciation for nature. Not a day went by that he didn’t express his thankfulness, delight, and amazement at the natural beauty of where we live. Rest in peace Peter. Forever your family we’ll be. Kearney Funeral Services 604-736-0268

When you walk through a storm, Hold your head up high, And don’t be afraid of the dark, At the end of the storm, Is a golden sky, And the sweet silver song of the lark. Francis Thomas Gillon 76, of Chilliwack, passed away Monday. Born 1939 in Liverpool, England to Christine and Joseph where he grew up with his five siblings. After serving in the British Army, he came to Canada with his bride Patricia and their first born Lorraine in 1965. Frank made a point of seeing as much of the world as possible so moving and meeting new friends came often and easy. He loved to have friends and family around and the many singing, guitar playing sessions are fondly remembered. When he wasn’t singing, Frank was telling a story with his unique wit and humour that tickled everyone. He was passionate about nature and the outdoors where he enjoyed many of his days walking along trails and enjoying his garden. He especially loved his lifetime trip to South Africa. His loyalty to English Football also came through on Saturday mornings. His working years were spent as a Building Engineer, where he managed systems and facility operations. Frank is survived by his wife Patricia of Chilliwack and four of his children: Simon Hill (UK), Janet Merriman (California), Stephen Gillon (Tara) (Langley), Corey Gillon (Cheryl) (Toronto). He also is survived by his grandsons Paxton and Conlan. A Celebration of Life event will take place in September. Details to follow. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca. Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home 45865 Hocking Avenue Chilliwack BC V2P 1B5 604-793-4555

MERCER, Arthur Foster

It is with sadness that we announce the passing of our husband, father and grandfather, Arthur Foster Mercer. He was born in 1920 and lived in the Rosedale and Chilliwack area his entire life. Foster worked briefly at Dairyland, but soon changed jobs to become a faller in the logging industry. He worked many years in this industry, but also pursued his other passion, that of raising Hereford cattle, both purebred and commercial. Foster married Marie (nee Dunlop) in 1942 and they have remained married for 73 years. Together they raised three daughters, Linda (Elles) Peleskey, Fern Owen (Terry), and Barb Mercer Ramey and husband Ray. Foster will be greatly missed by his grandchildren, James (Marissa) Peleskey, Amy (Pat) Merz, Hunter Ramey and Drew Ramey and great grandchildren, Danielle (Cory), and Justin and Tyler Merz. Foster is also survived by his brother, George Mercer. The family will forever miss Foster’s feisty attitude and his discussions about various topics and will always remember many the interesting farming events and experiences he had while growing up. Special thanks are expressed to Doctor Henry, the caregivers and the staff at Valley Haven Guest Home for all the care provided to Foster and the family. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. www.hendersonsfunerals.com Henderson’s Funeral Homes 604-792-1344

PETERS, Frederick Gerald

Frederick “Slim” Gerald Peters passed away peacefully surrounded by family and friends on August 15, 2015 at Fraser Canyon Hospice at the age of 53. Slim was known for his selflessness and kindness of heart. He earned the respect and love of his family, coworkers and many lifelong friends. He was a goaltender for the Seabird Island Men’s Soccer Club. He was an avid sports fan and music lover with an incredible memory for stats and players in football, hockey and his favorite bands and music. He carried on the teachings of his Grandmother who taught him how to wind dry fish to provide for the family. He also loved sport fishing for salmon and halibut on the West coast. Trout fishing and duck hunting were lifelong endeavors. He was a high school graduate from Agassiz Secondary School. He was a Class C welder and held many certificates like First Aid. He worked primarily for Serpentine Cedar in Fort Langley and on the Coast. His presence will be missed but his spirit, smile, wit and laughter will be a comfort and a happy memory to us all. The family wishes to express heartfelt gratitude to Dr. J.P. Greggain and the wonderful nurses of Fraser Canyon Hospital and Hospice for their kindness, care and compassion. A special thank you to Seabird Island Health Department and staff. Prayers will be held at Seabird Island Gym on August 21, 2015 at 7 pm.

RINAS, Sigismund (Sigi)

July 15, 1934 August 17, 2015 Long time Chilliwack resident and masonry contractor, Sigi Rinas, passed away on August 17th at the Bradley Centre, with family members at his side. His craftsmanship was well known and appreciated throughout the Fraser Valley. Sigi is survived by his wife and soulmate Maureen; sons, David (Rose), Paul, Gary; daughter, Wendy (Wayne) and sisters, Elsa in Germany and Erica in Poland. He was predeceased by his siblings Reinhold, Oscar, and Ingrid. Sigi was born in Czubyawisna, Poland prior to the Second World War and moved with his family to Germany where his father worked as a teacher and part-time pastor. Sigi experienced life with his family in a Polish concentration camp throughout the duration of the war. He later emigrated to Canada and settled in Edmonton where he began his working life. He received his Masonry Apprenticeship Certificate in 1957. After some years as a mason, Sigi felt the draw to explore and experience the world of health care and went to Chicago and worked towards and received his Massage and Physical Therapy Diploma in 1964. Following this achievement, he moved to Chilliwack to pursue his true calling as a master mason. Sigi loved to play ping pong and was an excellent player. He also loved RV’ing and travelled many times with Maureen to enjoy the Arizona climate. He could often be found touring the Chilliwack countryside on his bicycle. Sigi loved the simple things in life, he loved the Lord, and all that He created. Maureen and family would like to thank Dr. Gordon Enns for his compassionate care, and Kim and her wonderful staff at the Bradley Centre.

Selby Robert Newton

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Robert Newton Selby on Aug. 16, 2015. He died peacefully at Chilliwack General Hospital, surrounded by the warmth of family and friends. Robert was born July 20, 1927 in Regina, Saskatchewan, son of George and Marian Selby. He was raised and schooled in the Grand Coulee area. His varied work history says much about how curious he was, and how willing to explore and change. He worked on neighbouring farms until he enlisted in the Canadian Army in 1944, where he completed his basic and advanced training. In 1945 he joined the paratroopers but VJ day ended his military career. He attended Veteran’s Training School in Moose Jaw in 1946 where he took motor mechanics, welding and blacksmithing. With these accumulated skills Bob worked for the CNR and the Prince George Railway for 20 years. He then turned his efforts to contracting and gold mining, followed by a stint as pitchman for show and fairs across the USA. He was a public speaker, self-educated in many areas of life and learning. He retired in 1983, and lived latterly at Cascade Manor in Chilliwack. Bob regaled everyone with his jokes, and he was always able to see the humour in any situation. He had a ready wit and an equally ready laugh, bringing joy to many lives. He will be sadly missed by wife Alice, daughter Cathy (Tom), sons Bill and Frank, and grandchildren Alison, Marie, Grant, Jeremy and Hannah.
