DPAC slams school board

Sardis ag program at home in ALR Partnership with UFV should begin in September

BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

fruitful partnership between Sardis secondary and the University of the Fraser Valley’s agriculture department could soon be taking root on school district land just off Richardson Road. On Tuesday, the board of education gave Sardis secondary teachers Joe Massie and Tania Toth and UFV professor Tom Baumann approval in principle to use the five-acre plot of land near Sardis for educational programs related to agriculture. “I’m really happy it’s happened as quickly as it has because sometimes with these things there’s lots of talk and no action,” said Massie, a science teacher who also teaches the school’s sustainable resources (a.k.a. agriculture) classes with Toth. Approval of the plan was unanimous, and trustee Louise Piper was appointed to help the trio to pursue the feasibility of the idea further with other community partners. While approval has been swift, students won’t likely be getting their shovels into the soil until September at the earliest since a local farmer who has been maintaining the property still has a crop growing on it.

Sardis secondary teachers Joe Massie and Tania Toth show off a sample of the crop students are growing in the school’s greenhouse. On Tuesday, the board of education approved a plan by Massie and Toth to partner with UFV and expand their program onto a five-acre plot of school district-owned land on Richardson Road.

he Chilliwack District Parent Advisory Council (DPAC) blasted Chilliwack school trustees this week for their conduct during the last board of education meeting of the year Tuesday. In an e-mail to trustees Wednesday, DPAC president Kirsten Brandreth said she was “extremely disappointed” at how the meeting ended. She lambasted trustees for not voting to extend the meeting long enough to complete the agenda or allow for public participation. She also criticized some trustees for their conduct during the rest of the year, saying their behaviour toward fellow trustees was often disrespectful. “It has been clear this past year who likes someone and who doesn’t,” she wrote. “Learn to get along, people, or at least respect what you are all saying. You’d be surprised that some of you have decent ideas.” Although Brandreth, going into her fourth year as DPAC president, didn’t point fingers at specific trustees, she levelled scathing criticism at those she felt didn’t pull their weight in the district this year. “Some of you seem to be doing the bare minimum in serving our community as an elected and paid trustee,” she said. “Here you give yourselves raises this year, yet you seem to be attending less and less functions See DPAC, page 7

Can you imagine developing a compound that safely balances blood sugar levels, reduces insulin resistance, and promotes weight loss? Leading scientists have discovered that PGX, a unique complex of natural ﬁbres, can safely help people balance their blood sugar levels and lose weight. Many people who are overweight are affected by what we call the ‘blood sugar roller coaster’ where blood sugar rises and falls dramatically before and after meals. Over time, this can lead to insulin resistance and weight gain, among other things. When taken with meals, PGX slows digestion, helping control and balance blood sugar levels, which reduces food cravings. PGX also provides a feeling of fullness, allowing you to eat smaller portions and feel full longer. We

Social housing breaks ground

Long-awaited and muchneeded project on School St. BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ric Hunkin suffers from mental illness and has a hard time finding a decent place to live, but now he hopes he has a new home. Ceremonial ground was broken Wednesday—and actual construction had already begun—on a longawaited 33-unit supportive housing complex on School Street. “It’s a real struggle to find a safe place to live,” Hunkin said at the ceremony. “This is such a needed project in Chiliwack.” The development was spearheaded by Chilliwack Community Services and the Creative Centre Society, and is the result of a partnership between the province and the Vancouver Organizing Committee for the 2010 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games to reconfigure temporary modular housing from the Whistler Athletes’ Village. The modular housing will be converted into 156 permanent, affordable rental homes in six communities across British Columbia. “This is the beginning of the end

Anita Rogers, Eric Hunkin, MLA John Les, Kate Lister, Dale Cuthbertson and Mayor Sharon Gaetz toss gravel at the ceremonial groundbreaking for Chilliwack’s Olympic Legacy affordable housing project on School Street on Wednesday. of a long journey,” said Dale Cuthbertson, executive director of Chilliwack Community Services Society (CCSS), at the ceremony. “This . . . will allow us to help a great number of people overcome significant challenges in their lives and become positive contributors to our com-

munity.” Chilliwack MLA John Les said the project represented an important moment in the history of the city. “This is something we haven’t done in Chilliwack before but certainly is something that is needed,” he said.

The four-storey, L-shaped building will provide 33 affordable apartments with integrated support services, in addition to office space, a community kitchen, dining area, lounge and reception area. On-site offices will provide space for staff to support the youth residents. CCSS will manage the facility and operate 11 apartments located on the second floor for youth at risk of homelessness. Creative Centre Society will manage and operate 22 apartments, located on the third and fourth floors, for adults at risk of homelessness with mental health barriers. “This new housing development will provide a supportive environment where people are able to experience a real sense of belonging,” said Jennifer Ridgeway, executive director of Creative Centre Society. “We are pleased to be a partner in this project as it furthers our ability to support people with mental health issues as they reintegrate into society.” The total capital cost for the development, located at 8937 School St., is approximately $10 million. The province will provide an infrastructure grant of $8.3 million, land worth about $1 million and $297,406 in annual operational funding. CCSS will provide $400,000 in equity and the City of Chilliwack will waive municipal fees estimated at $308,351. Cuthbertson said the target for completion of the project is in April, 2011.

FVRD unanimously opposes incineration T

he Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) made clear its opposition to Metro Vancouver’s plan to burn its garbage official Tuesday evening. The board of directors unanimously agreed that it does not support waste-to-energy incineration as a viable option for handling residual municipal solid waste. Metro Vancouver is presently engaged in a public consultation process on its draft Integrated Solid Waste and Resource Management Plan (ISWMRP). Consultation ends July 14. In addition to initiatives to reduce and divert waste by 2015, the plan proposes a waste-to-energy (WTE) strategy to annually incine-

rate 500,000 tonnes of garbage that will not be recycled, composted or otherwise diverted from households, business and industry. FVRD board members also agreed to support goals in the plan that deal with minimizing waste generation and maximizing reuse, recycling and material recovery in the Greater Vancouver region. The board agreed to provisionally support one goal that deals with energy recovery from the waste stream, and another that all remaining waste is disposed of in landfills, after material recycling and energy recovery. The provision states that the board does not support energy recovery or

handling of municipal solid waste by any form of combustion including, but not limited to, incineration, gasification, pyrolysis, plasma technology, mass burn or any other similar technology for the residual management of municipal solid waste within a waste-toenergy facility. “We are happy to support the initiatives in the Metro Vancouver plan to divert waste and increase reduction, reuse and recycling,” said board chair Patricia Ross in a press release issued Wedneday. “The Fraser Valley is home to a unique and sensitive airshed. We simply cannot support a strategy that involves the ongoing need to supply incinerators with waste, the uncerta-

inty regarding the contaminants that would be discharged and the potential effects on human health and the environment in the Lower Fraser Valley.” Ross and the board encouraged residents to learn about WTE and its impacts and make their views known to Metro. The FVRD recently developed a website to provide residents with information about regional air quality at www.airqualitymatters.ca. A Facebook page entitled Air Quality Matters has also been set up, as has a Twitter account “to provide information and create a platform for public discussion about the importance of clean air.”

Woman dead after care home error Chilliwack woman loses mother, told Fraser Health cannot be held accountable BY KENT SPENCER Vancouver Province

hilliwack resident Melissa Jarabek lost her mother Judith Jarabek-Gray because provincial government caregivers let the battery run out on her ventilator—and her family can’t do anything about it. “It’s not right. I don’t want my mother to be the guinea pig here—and she was,” daughter Melissa Jarabek said Sunday. Jarabek-Gray, afflicted with Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS), who was born in Chilliwack, was being cared for at the CareLife Fleetwood facility in Surrey, a subsidiary of the Fraser Health Authority. On Jan. 21, after she’d spent 16 days in the $6,000-permonth facility, staff took her off her bed ventilator—which was supplied with continuous power by a wall socket—and moved her to a chair ventilator, attached to a battery with a six-hour life span. Returned to the bed one hour later, she remained attached to the chair unit. Jarabek said staff visited “eight or nine” times in the next several hours, but “not one picked up on the fact” she was on the wrong ventilator.

Attendants did not hear a low-volume alarm going off four separate times over a three-hour period. The noise was so low that her husband, who was visiting, didn’t hear it. Jarabek-Gray died at 11:15 p.m., one hour after her husMark Van Manen—PNG band left for the evening.

Video mocks incineration Metro’s plan parodied by enviro group KELLY SINOSKI Vancouver Sun

n environmental group is warning the public to “speak now or forever hold your breath” on the issue of trash incineration in Metro Vancouver. The Wilderness Committee released a light-hearted video on YouTube that suggests residents should speak out against Metro Vancouver’s plan to burn its waste. To underscore its message, the video pokes fun at flaws in Metro’s research, such as hiring a consultant who once promoted the tobacco industry, and shows people wearing gas masks to avoid air pollution from the proposed plant. It ends urging viewers to support waste-reducing measures, such as recycling. The three-minute video was already a success on the first day it was released, on Tuesday. “It got some YouTube honours of sorts. It was the 57th most viewed in the comedy section in Canada,” said Paul Lowey, the president of Gloo

Studios, which created the piece. Fast-paced and quirky, the video is aimed at the 18- to 35-year-old crowd, said Lowey, and it seems to be catching their attention. The awareness-raising video coincides with a series of public consultation sessions around the Lower Mainland on Metro’s draft regional waste management plan, which wraps up on July 14. The plan calls for at least one incinerator in the region to deal with trash as an alternative to sending it to the Cache Creek landfill. Metro argues it needs new ways to deal with waste closer to home as the landfill reaches capacity. But the Wilderness Committee points out that the B.C. environment ministry has already approved an extension, up to 25 years, for the Cache Creek dump. And if it approves incineration, the region will need “tonnes of garbage” to help it run efficiently, said incinerator critics. West says that proponents of waste incineration are big corporations who will do or say anything to get the multimillion dollar contracts. The video encourages viewers to take action by sending a personal message on the ZeroWasteBC.org site.

Chilliwack’s in the game One of three in B.C. on Monopoly Canada BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hat do Chilliwack, Montreal and Kawartha Lakes have in common? The colour orange. No, not because of Dutch heritage; orange is the colour of the squares the cities occupy on the new Monopoly Canada board set to be released in time for Canada Day. Hasbro announced the final 22 cities for the Canadian version of the popular board game Tuesday. Chilliwack was one of one of 65 cities from across Canada chosen for the contest that began in January. The company announced that the top 20 cities that received votes during a six-week period ending in February would become the property spaces on the Monopoly Canada board. Mayor Sharon Gaetz used Facebook to encourage Chilliwack residents to vote for the city in the online contest and

apparently it had an effect. “We are very excited about it,” Gaetz said Wednesday. “Kudos to the people that voted every single day.” She said she hoped the city would benefit when people play the game, see Chilliwack and maybe come for a visit. The image on the Chilliwack square—which sells in the game for $1.8 million and replaces Tennessee Avenue in the original game—is a photograph of Mt. Cheam taken by local photographer Ryan Dyck. Dyck actually knew Chilliwack had been chosen more than four weeks ago as he

signed release forms for the use of his photo. When the cheque arrived two weeks ago he knew for sure but he kept it quiet. “I was ecstatic,” he told the Times when he found out. “I started telling people I knew wouldn’t go and blab it.” Dyck said Hasbro saw photos he posted on his Flickr account and asked to buy the image. Kelowna and Vancouver are the other two B.C. cites that made the board (but on less expensive properties). Chatham-Kent, Ont. made the coveted Boardwalk spot. The following 22 cities earned spots on the Monopoly: Canada edition game: ! Dark Blue: Chatham-Kent, Saint-Jean-Sur-Richelieu ! Green: Calgary, Sarnia, Edmonton ! Yellow: Windsor, Quebec City, Trois-Rivieres ! Red: Medicine Hat, Gatineau, Shawinigan ! Orange: Kawartha Lakes, Chilliwack, Montreal ! Magenta: Kelowna, North Bay, St. John’s ! Light Blue: Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver ! Brown: Beauceville, Banff The game will be available in stores across the country on June 28, according to Hasbro.

A gift of health! I needed hip surgery and my surgeon told me to lose weight. I had been trying for years and was very frustrated because I thought I was eating healthy. I was thinking that I was too old to lose weight, but on the SureSlim program I have lost 60lbs. I didn’t change a lot of what I ate, but changed how I ate. My husband and my doctor are both so very proud of me. Ann has lost 60 lbs.

Arrest in weekend stabbing olice have arrested a 24-year-old man in connection with a weekend stabbing that sent the victim to hospital with lifethreatening injuries. The alleged assailant was arrested Tuesday afternoon without incident. He has been held in custody and appeared in provincial court Wednesday to face charges. The victim remains in

hospital and is listed in stable condition. Police have recommended charges of aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, uttering threats and breach of probation. On Saturday, police were called to the 46100 block of Bole Avenue after a 41year-old man was stabbed at around 5:30 p.m. Witnesses told police the victim and another man

SARDIS AG, from page 1 The school district originally bought the land, which sits in the agricultural land reserve (ALR), to build a school, but those plans never materialized, possibly because of a gas line that runs diagonally through the site. For Massie, Toth and Baumann, the 10year dream plan for the site would see it turned into a diverse student-driven show farm, featuring both horticulture and livestock agriculture, where Chilliwack students from kindergarten to Grade 12 could learn more about the industry and where their food comes from. With input from industry partners, the site could also be used to grow research crops some day. The first step, however, will likely be a planting of blueberries, raspberry and strawberries for students to get their bearings on. “They can work on those crops,” said Baumann. “They can damage them and maltreat them and do whatever they want with them and it won’t matter just so they learn the basics of it.” The collaboration between Massie, Toth and Baumann isn’t new. It began in earnest about a year and a half ago with extensive renovations to the Sardis secondary greenhouse. Baumann, who has taught horticulture at UFV for almost 20 years, lent his expertise, and for two semesters now Grade 12 students in the Sardis agriculture program DPAC, from page 1 compared to prior years. I wonder what your hourly wage would work out to for some of you.” At the meeting, trustees voted for a schedule that would see them hold four fewer public board meetings next year, and they also adopted a motion to hold all meetings at the school district office instead going out to schools as they have in the past. Brandreth commented on the decision in her e-mail. “I can only hope that with a cut in meetings and the location being just at the school board office that you make an effort to reach out to the schools more than some of you have,” she said. “The schools are ground zero. That’s where student success begins.” Brandreth ended her e-mail by commending the board as a whole for its work on balancing the budget, keeping schools open and keeping layoffs to a minimum. In an interview with the Times, Brandreth said she wrote the letter because she is disappointed with the functioning of this board compared to those she has worked with in the past. “I can voice my concern because I’m not a paid employee of the district,” she said. “I’m a volunteer and I’m a voter.” Having attended board meetings throughout the year, Brandreth said trustees often seemed more preoccupied with their own agendas and political views than board business. At Tuesday’s meeting, a motion by trustee John-Henry Harter to write a letter protest-

were engaged in a dispute when one of the men took out a knife. Po l i c e s a y t h e v i c t i m and the suspect knew each other and that the act was not random. Both men are known to police. RCMP spokesperson Lea-Anne Dunlop told the Times that knives are becoming more common in disputes that used to be settled with fists.

Student ag program a 10-year dream have taken courses that earn them credits at both Sardis and UFV. This fall students took horticulture and equine management at the university, and in the spring, Baumann—volunteering his time while on sabbatical at UFV—taught them at the Sardis secondary greenhouse. Besides increasing students’ knowledge, Baumann said the concurrent courses make the transition from high school to postsecondary studies less scary. The partnership with UFV, along with other changes in the Sardis agriculture program—like the addition of hydroponic vegetable growing and chickens—has sparked increased interest among students. The school will add another block to its schedule next year to meet demand, and the number of Grade 12 students taking the course in the fall has risen from six to 20. Eight students have even registered to work at the Sardis greenhouse all summer to earn work experience credit—an opportunity available for the first time this year. Baumann credits Massie and Toth for the program’s growing success. “They are fantastic,” said Baumann. “They have this unbelievable enthusiasm and energy, and that’s how this whole thing works.”

Maybe a board isn’t needed: DPAC prez ing inadequate education funding in the province devolved into a debate between Harter and trustee Doug McKay, who took offence to Harter calling the B.C. government “the Liberals.” Harter called Mckay’s objections “ridiculous” and McKay said Harter was being disrespectful. “We still have a year and a half to go,” said Brandreth of the board’s three-year term, “and I’m thinking are these guys going to be better next year? I don’t see that happening.” Besides their conduct at meetings, Brandreth expressed concern the board is losing touch with schools, kids and parents, and she would like to see trustees give more detailed reports during meetings. “Many times throughout this year the trustees haven’t given proper reports,” she said. “As a voter, I don’t care if someone went to a lunch.

And that did happen with the previous board.” Without increased involvement from trustees, Brandreth is concerned the district is taking on too much responsibility without meaningful input from the board. “If they’re going to sit there and rubber stamp everything that’s presented,” she said, “we don’t really need a board.” No board members responded to a Times request for comment before press time.

Traffic Deaths: A Public Health Crisis

From 1979 to 2004, if the US downward trend in the annual number of fatalities from crashes had kept pace with Canada’s—our fatalities dropped from 5,933 to 2,875 or roughly fifty percent—the US total would have been 25,500. Instead, in 2004 in the US, 42,836 people were killed in crashes and since then, the annual total has hovered around Cedric Hughes 37,000. Recently, to mark the beginning of ‘summer road trip season’, The New York Times asked eleven traffic safety experts to blog about “the one thing that could be done to reduce highway deaths.” Most did not offer (or, indeed, could not find) a “silver bullet” response. Most offered ‘answers’ about what one blogger called the classically known “three E’s”: enforcement, engineering, and education. “E” for epidemiology also emerged as a category of answers. In short, the collective response proposed a four-pronged approach. Enforcement that focuses on the existing laws to control speeding, to encourage wearing seat belts, and to discourage impaired driving has saved lives and will continue to do so. Tried and tested regulatory schemes that work— like graduated licensing—should be enacted nationally. Even schemes with inconclusive effectiveness, like restricting cellphone usage while driving, can “help to raise awareness about the dangers of distracted driving and may help to keep it from happening.” “Novel risky technologies” and “new risky behaviors” call for better and newer rules and regulations and, accordingly, innovative enforcement measures. A corollary of this is the need for more highly skilled regulators. Engineering communities as “livable places that accommodate all users—cars, transit, walkers and cyclists,” in short, designing streets for everyone to use, creates safer streets. Other engineering solutions included

THE ROAD RULES

developing “better and more diverse public transport options,” and shipping more freight by rail to remove dangerous truck traffic.

One call “for the American auto industry to become once again the leader in traffic safety by hiring engineers to build safer cars rather than hiring lawyers and former government officials to Barrister & Solicitor build better loopholes for unsafe cars” contrasts with another blogger’s warning about “the growing consumer and political interest in smaller, less crash-worthy vehicles.” Calling this a worrisome long-term trend, this blogger notes that, “The last time America witnessed a significant downsizing of vehicles (1975 to 1985), the unintended result was about 2,000 additional traffic fatalities per year.” Better education would “bring American driver training practices up to the standards practiced in many European countries…better understanding of the principles of car control, more hands-on demonstrations of accident avoidance techniques and preferred emergency conduct along with more stringent licensing rules.” “Epidemiology” answers propose a new way of thinking about traffic death, “not as a collection of “accidents” but as a public health crisis. This means investing in highway safety as if it were a public health issue and insisting on evidence-based solutions — laws and programs that work and that aren’t just ‘feel good’. A “holistic solution” envisions safer drivers—people who highly value and rigorously pursue traffic safety—in safer cars on safer roads, covered with enhanced emergency medical services. All are valid comments on a very big issue. Cedric Hughes L.L.B. Leslie McGuffin L.L.B.

Goal of urban density in sight Sprawl is out. Urban is in. A graph showing the average lot size in the Lower Mainland would show lots shrinking year by year. Condos and townhouses are increasingly common even in places like Langley and Abbotsford, once the refuges of lawn-loving suburbanites. We’re doing this at least partly by necessity. Land, as some political philosophers have pointed out, is different from other commodities; they aren’t making any more of it. They certainly aren’t making any more around Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley, where between mountains, river, ocean, and the ALR, the only choice is how fast we will densify. A dozen streams of thought are coming together in the new urbanism that has many followers in the region. The 100-mile diet. Walkable communities. Bike lane networks. Light rail. Bridge tolls. Vertical farming. Radical levels of waste reduction. Road pricing. Complete communities. So why not call this what it is? Put all of this together and it comes close to an attempt to build an arcology. The arcology is an idea that’s more than 50 years old, but it’s always been on the fringes. Architect Paolo Saleri invented both the word and the concept. The idea is simple: cities are dense, so they use less energy per

MATTHEW CLAXTON

Be Our Guest person. It takes less asphalt and energy to pave the streets used by 1,000 people living in Vancouver’s West End than it does to pave roads for the same number of people spread out over several hundred acres in a rural area. It also paves over less potential farmland or natural area. So Soleri suggested ramping it up, making hyper-density and savings of energy the guiding principles for creating new cities. Many people have envisioned arcologies as buildings so large they qualify as cities. The ideal is to create a single urban core, maybe as small as a few city blocks, that includes living space, work space, recreational facilities, and possibly even food and energy production. A heavy emphasis on recycling water and conserving energy through smart architecture are also key features. The other important thing to remember is that an arcology isn’t meant to be a prison. Indeed, it’s meant to offer a higher quality of life, with parkland and wilderness closer to the city than ever,

because of the reduction of suburban sprawl. Want a walkable community? An arcology has no roads, just elevators and possibly an internal tram. So far, no one has built one of these mega-structures, although coming up with plans for them is a favourite project of architecture students. My question is, do we actually need to build an arcology from scratch, or should we simply lump together all those pro-density ideas, give them each a nudge, and let our arcologies grow up over time? With the right supports and the right economic conditions, it isn’t hard to envision a future in which most Lower Mainland residents live within walking distance of grocery stores, libraries, parks, movie theatres, offices, and workshops. If the price of driving is high enough—either through government pricing or through the rising cost of oil—giving up a car or two becomes an attractive option. An arcology shouldn’t be a multi-billion-dollar project forced on a city, but it could be a goal for many communities, or parts of communities, to pursue. The perfect city is a constantly moving target; we’ll never build our way to utopia. But we can build better if we have a utopian goal in mind. !

he Braidwood Commission has been a splash of cold water on Canada’s reputation as a benevolent country known the world over for its justice and fairness. It was ice-water for the thousands of RCMP officers and other police in jurisdictions across the land, whom retired B.C. Appeal Court Justice Thomas Braidwood made special effort to mention for their integrity and commitment to the ideals that four RCMP officers failed to uphold when they ran into a confused Polish immigrant at Vancouver International Airport on Oct. 14, 2007. Robert Dziekanski’s death changed perceptions dramatically . . . and perhaps it will also make lasting positive changes in the way justice is served in this country. Justice Braidwood noted that the Vancouver airport security service has already taken the matter seriously enough to have initiated changes aimed at avoiding similar incidents in future. And the provincial government has committed to immediately begin work on all 19 recommendations in Braidwood’s report released late last week, including establishing (within 12 months) a citizens’ group to investigate serious criminal complaints against police, instead of letting police continue to investigate their own—something that has been requested from many quarters for years. The first four of the recommendations pertain directly to Canada Border Services Agency’s processing of people entering the country—the agency has been singled out by Braidwood as having done nothing towards correcting any faults that led to Dziekanski’s death—so it is hoped that B.C.’s Attorney General Michael de Jong’s contact with his federal counterpart will have positive results.

Positive experience at Chilliwack hospital Editor: So often we hear negative comments regarding our health. So, in this regard, I can’t say enough about the personal care given to us here in Chilliwack, and especially the short waiting period. My wife was recently in our hospital for a hip replacement. Starting with the efficiency of the wellorganized orthopaedic joint clinic team, and the excellent care given to her by Dr. Paul Basson, Dr. Kenneth Kousaie and Dr. Lim. The sessions before surgery with the different departments, physiotherapy, lab work, X-rays, cardiology and the follow-up care. The nurses, volunteers and staff here in our Chilliwack hospital are the most caring individuals. On behalf of my wife and I, “thank you, you are the best!” Doug Fraser Chilliwack

With HST, costs will increase Editor: After reading your article (June 18, Times) we sent our MLA the following e-mail message today: Message for the Hon. Barry Penner, Although we have not been favoured with your reply to the message sent to you on June 15, we would like to take this opportunity to refer to the Chilliwack Times article of today’s date to the effect that you have made a statement informing that the CRA will host an HST information seminar on June 21 at the Chilliwack Library so that businesses that create local jobs, and anyone else interested in knowing the real facts about the HST can take the opportunity to find out. I doubt very much that we will obtain a seat reservation to listen to the CRA officer that day, as the library might accommodate 100 people. From your statement it is quite obvious that you favour the HST implementation. What we would like to know now, and may be you can enlighten us in this respect, is how exactly the HST will benefit consumers, considering that after July 1 we will have to pay PST on items that

That’s just for starters. Thanks for listening. I look forward to your comments. Aurora and John Gordon Rhodes Chilliwack

Refreshing sign in tough times Editor: I have had the privilege of being a volunteer driver for the Chilliwack Community for the past four years. Chilliwack Community Services emphasizes its family support programs but also offers a program that provides much needed transportation to people throughout the lower mainland. This program offers transportation to people from all walks but especially to those who can no longer drive due to various special needs, or simply less fortu-

nate. The drivers are carefully screened and take the worry out of what otherwise can be a stressful situation. They pick up and return you to your residence, ensuring you get to the right place on time, with little to no stress At a time when cutbacks seem to be the measure of success, it is refreshing to see a program such as this continued by the Community Services. There is a nominal fee charged for mileage to cover the rising fuel costs which is reasonable but necessary. This is a service that I feel is so valuable to the community and one I believe few people know exists which is why I have submitted this letter. Hats off to Chilliwack Community Services and its Driver’s Program. Len Powell Chilliwack

Other side of WTE meeting Editor: Wednesday’s meeting at the Best Western Hotel allowed concerned individuals to voice personal and political views about Metro Vancouver’s proposal to burn a portion of its waste materils. This forum did allow for a wide range of views from a wide range of individuals, but it did not give equal weight to all points of view. The majority of speakers expressed views against having Vancouver burn waste that cannot be reused, recycled, or composted. There were several other valid points presented that everyone should consider: 1. One speaker presented

information that waste-toenergy plants can produce air that is cleaner than the air that we breathe now. The question is how much money is Vancouver willing to spend for this clean air? 2. The mayor of Cache Creek, explained that this landfill would be useable and safe for up to 25 more years. 3. One speaker cautioned the crowd against allowing large-scale tax increases and giving up personal rights to have the government save us from uncontrolled pollution. 4. All presentations contained at least implied assumptions that manmade emissions cause global warming. One speaker challenged this assumption, claiming that debate has not yet settled this issue. 5. One speaker challenged Vancouver’s 70 per cent recycling target. He offered an explanation of how communities could recycle up to 99 per cent of waste materials. 6. A member of the Ashcroft Indian Band presented the current problem of how the Cache Creek Landfill Phase I was leaking into their watershed and the rest of their environment. Public forums are useful events for all of us to speak and to learn. Your column left out some very crucial points in this debate. Gary Raddysh Chilliwack

Zalm tells it like it is on HST Editor: It is unfortunate that Mr. Perry’s high cognitive ability (letters, June 22) has not led him to research just what the HST will do to his everyday budget. One would think that being in the 84 per cent of those voters who have not signed the petition to stop this tax and/or recall government would want to know just how they would be effected once this tax goes through on July 1. Perhaps he is not concerned that his telephone bill will increase seven per cent or his basic cable. Then again, maybe he isn’t worried about having to pay an additional seven per cent to have his computer repaired,

or his plumbing fixed, to name but a few of the new charges he will incur. I hope he is able to increase the price he would want to sell his house for in order to pay the seven per cent increase in his real estate commission fees. At least Mr. Vander Zalm is pointing out the lack of transparency in the Liberal government’s presentation of this tax and showing it for what it really is. There is nothing revenue neutral about this tax, and any savings for business historically have not been passed on to consumers, not to mention that with the additional taxes being added to goods and services we use daily, we won’t have funds to spend in these businesses anyway. It is this kind of complacency from voters that has led our provincial government to believe that they can do what they will and have done so and continue to do so. It just might be the time for the 84 per cent of voters to get with the program and see just what the actual cost to them will be in the coming year. The additional taxes on your cable and phone alone amount to almost $119/year and yet our finance minister had the nerve to say on CTV news this evening that it will only add $44/year to taxpayers. What kind of accounting goes on at the government level and how can voters not be upset by this and glad that at least someone, even if it is the Zalm, is doing something to stop the madness? Wendy Chaplin Chilliwack

Bible reference a funny joke Editor: Kathleen McCune’s letter in Friday, June 18 addition was a good example of tongue-in-cheek humour about the Bible predicting the Gulf oil disaster. “The Earth groans and the seas roar.” What a good joke. Kathleen, please write some more satirical references to the Bible. Rodger Olsen Agassiz

Faith Today EVANS HUNDERMARK Mountain View Church

s a Pastor I get to see people coming and going to church every Sunday. Some of those people stay. They make our church their spiritual home and become contributing members of our church family, growing as Christians. Others come once and we never see them again. I often wonder about them; where they are today and whether they found what they were looking for. There are other people I pass everyday. These are people who never darken the door of a church. Some of them are apathetic about church and others have contempt towards God, Christians and the church and I wonder what made them so angry or hurt them so deeply.

10 reasons why I don’t bathe What do these folk think of church? It may be like asking some folk why they don’t like to bathe (my four children would be the first to be surveyed!) I think the top 10 reasons for not bathing would be: I was forced to as a child; people who wash are hypocrites who think they are cleaner than everyone else; there are so many different kinds of soap I can’t decide which one is best and all the soap companies are fighting with each other anyway; I used to wash, but I got bored and stopped; I wash only on special occasions, like Christmas and Easter or when I go to a wedding or funeral; none of my friends wash; I’ll start washing when I get older and dirtier; I can’t spare the time to bathe; why wash now

when I am just going to get dirty again; people who make soap are only after my money. These would be silly reasons for not bathing. The fact is, that our bodies get dirty and for health reasons we need to wash, regardless of all the reasons we may have for not bathing. Church and a bath are similar in many ways: The bath tub doesn’t clean you, it is the soap and water that makes you clean. Church provides the means for you to take a spiritual “bath” and although church itself doesn’t clean you, it creates the perfect environment for you to be spiritually clean. Just as bath tubs can be imperfect you still use them to take a bath.

Church, filled and staffed by human beings, suffers from all the imperfections of the human condition, but God in His wisdom and love has chosen the church to be His medium by which we can discover how to be spiritually “clean” and whole. Church creates the environment for us to be spiritually “washed.” Unlike all the soap brands out there however, there is not much competition between churches today. Each one expresses a different way or emphasis on how you can connect with the God of the Universe and how you can experience His cleansing power in your life. We share a wonderful sense of unity in Chilliwack and we express this once a year by getting together

to “Love Chilliwack” with acts of service—a bottle of water, a free car wash or hotdog or just a friendly wave—and then we gather Sunday for a citywide service. All of this is a physical expression of our unity as the body of Christ in Chilliwack! I would like to invite you to join us this Sunday morning at 11 a.m. at Prospera Centre for our annual citywide service. Come and visit with us and see the Body of Jesus, His church, at work in our city. Allow your spirit to be refreshed and cleansed as we come together and worship God. Come and enjoy the unity we share and have a spiritual experience with us that is just like taking a nice long hot bath! Oh, and by the way, I don’t like to bath. I prefer a shower! !

We take those requests seriously when asked to help,” he said. “We are not talking about people here who are trying to make a living selling eagle parts.” Police officers frequently take on another persona—a drug dealer, a big-time criminal, an understanding friend—to try to get suspects to talk about their alleged crimes. For example, police used a controversial Mr. Big operation to get convictions of North Vancouver friends Sebastian Burns and Atif Rafay, for the horrendous slaughter of Rafay’s family in 1994. And it was an undercover officer who befriended serial killer Robert (Willie) Pickton in his jail cell, where he made some partial confessions. But Charlie argued this sting went too far because it attempted to “diminish our cultural beliefs and our practice in using eagle feathers as part of our regalia.” Charlie said three members of the Chehalis band were approached by an undercover conservation officer who offered cash if they would kill an eagle so he could have a headdress made. In need of money, the three agreed and later were charged. Charlie insisted they, too, were not involved in the initial eagle kill. “These young guys believed this man. He was First Nations, he was begging them for help,” the chief alleged. “We blame the conservation officer for wrongfully asking to go out and take an eagle. An eagle is very sacred.” The native leaders also plan to raise concerns today about the lead conservation officer on the case, Rick Grindrod, who was fired in 2009 after it was alleged he had misused his government credit cards to the tune of $35,000. “He was fired for cause,” Kelly said. “Why aren’t these charges dropped?” RCMP Cpl. Darren Lagan said police have finished the investigation into Grindrod and last month forwarded a report to Crown counsel seeking charges. Prosecutors are now examining the police report.

Thumbs up for hockey academy BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

t’s official: students at Sardis secondary will be strapping on hockey skates for high school credit come September. The Sardis Chilliwack Bruins Hockey Academy got an enthusiastic thumbs up from the Chilliwack school board Tuesday, and the school is now taking registrations for the 25 to 30 spots in the program. Open to male and female students of all skill levels in Grade 10, 11 and 12, the academy will be based around six hockey courses developed by Sardis counsellor Maryanne Mussel and Bruins coaching staff. Hockey Skills and Hockey Theory 10, 11 and 12 cover on-ice skills like stick handling, passing, power skating, shooting, checking as well as off-ice subjects like cardiovascular training, nutrition and leadership. The cost will be $2,000 per year, but Sardis vice-principal Grant Kushniryk told trustees that is low compared to other academies like the one at Yale secondary in Abbotsford. (While the Yale academy fee is actually lower at $1,965, the Sardis fee is less than the $4,000 at South Delta secondary or the whopping $24,500 students pay at the Okanagan Hockey Academy.) The Chilliwack Bruins approached Sardis secondary with the idea of the academy. In an earlier interview with the Times, president Darryl Porter said partnerships like this between schools and hockey teams are a growing phenomenon in Western Canada. “Teams like ourselves have resources that we can be giving back,” he said. Sardis was a natural choice since between eight to 12 Bruins players attend high school there every year, and Mussell has acted as the Bruins’ education co-ordinator for four years. Besides lending the academy the Bruins’ name, Porter said students in the academy will have access to the team’s training equipment, dressing rooms and coaching expertise, with one assistant coach designated to the program and head coach Marc Habscheid dropping in when he can.

Weekend Warriors revving it up A workout routine more like real sport BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

ometimes the hardest thing about physical training isn’t lowering your heart rate: sometimes, it’s revving it up in the first place. After discovering that some people needed extra motivation to train on the weekends, the Chilliwack YMCA thought outside the box to create its new “Weekend Warriors” program. The program features a range of equipment, from parachutes to sandbags, and eschews the personal training approach for a group mentality. “Research has shown that people are more likely to stick with their routine or try new stuff when they are with a group,” said YMCA health and fitness manager Andrea

The program ditches your typical weight-room training for exercises that seek to simulate real-life situations. Participants chuck sandbags, punch mats, climb stairs wearing vests stuffed with weights, and use

ropes with handles to stress their muscles. “The equipment that we’re using is much more functional,” she said. “It allows a lot more translation to sports.” The idea is to put people off-bal-

ance, literally. Exercises that put participants in awkward positions force them to use a range of muscles that may not be addressed in your standard weight exercise, said Gieselman. “When you’re doing this kind of

training when there is instability or where your range of motion isn’t as guided as it is with a machine, your muscle activation is exponentially higher,” she said. It’s also fun. “It’s exciting, it’s new, it’s stuff people haven’t always used before,” she said. And the same goes for exercising as a group in a program that encourages team work and partner exercises. “It helps the participants feed off of each other in terms of challenging each other, encouraging each other, supporting them and making it more of a fun dynamic.” There’s one more benefit of highintensity group training: training as a group is more economical for participants and allows the YMCA to offer the program at a relatively inexpensive price. The YMCA’s initial Weekend Warrior program runs for four more weekends. The Y will use the public’s response to determine whether to make the program a permanent part of its fitness offering. !

Sundher, McKinlay, Stahl could be picked Saturday BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

trio of Chilliwack Bruins players are in for a nervous weekend as the National Hockey League conducts its 2010 entry draft Friday and Saturday in Los Angeles. Kevin Sundher, Tyler Stahl and Dylen McKinlay were all ranked by the Central Scouting Bureau in its year-end report on North American Skaters. Sundher, ranked 67, is a lock to be taken. After notching 25 goals and 61 points this year, the playmaking centre was ranked 68th out of all players by The Hockey News and secured an invite to the NHL Scouting Combine earlier this month. Speaking to the Times on Thursday, Sundher said he doesn’t expect to get much

Basketball camps

Chilliwack Hoops will run summer basketball camps for boys and girls from Grade 6 to

sleep Friday night. “To be honest, I haven’t thought about it too much,” he said. “I’ll probably start thinking about it tonight.” Sundher said four or five teams have expressed significant interest, including the Toronto Maple Leafs, his favourite team. “My fingers are crossed,” he said. He expects to spend Saturday with family, close to the phone and the call that will tell him where his hockey future lies. As for Stahl and McKinlay, they are on the bubble. Ranked 116 among North American skaters, Stahl will hope a team is looking to pick up a bruising defenceman in the later rounds. McKinlay, meanwhile, saw his ranking rise from 156 at the halfway marker last year,

On deck 12 from August 23 through to August 27 at Chilliwack senior secondary. Developmental Grades 6 to 8 will take place from 4 to 6 p.m. while competitive Grades 7 to 12 will take place from 6:15 to 9 p.m. and Saturday morning from 9 a.m. to noon. An Elementary Camp will run from August 16 to 20 at Cheam elementary school. Grade 2 and 3 boys and girls will run from 1 to 2:30 p.m. and Grade 4 and 5 girls and boys

to 126 at the end of the year. With the draft now going just seven rounds, and those rankings not including goaltenders or European skaters, neither Stahl nor McKinlay are guaranteed to be chosen. Sundher, Stahl and McKinlay are all in their first year of draft eligibility. The likelihood of being drafted next year, if they are missed this year, is slim. A 54-point, 138PIM campaign from Bruins captain Brandon Manning has catapulted the defenseman onto the radars of NHL scouts, but teams may decide to wait until he becomes a free agent next year. The draft takes place Friday and Saturday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The first round, during which the Edmonton Oilers have the first pick and will choose between phenoms Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin, runs Friday. Rounds two to seven take place Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. will start at 2:30 and end at 4 p.m. on these days. Spaces are limited and registration for all camps will close July 15.

Liquid Silver’s fitting finish

he Sudden Impact Liquid Silver youth dragon boat team came away with some coveted hardware at the Rio Tinto Alcan Dragon Boat Festival June 19 to 20 at False Creek in Vancouver. The youth team, ages 13 to 18 raced in four 500-metre heats and placed second overall in the Junior B division. “The Alcan Regatta is where we needed to prove ourselves, and we certainly did,” said team captain Emma Graham, a Grade 11 student at Chilliwack secondary. “The best feeling in the world was crossing that finish line, completely exhausted, but knowing my

One controversial conservationist Rosenau recognized for work on the river

BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

arvin Rosenau’s first love had fins. As a young boy growing up on a dairy farm in Chilliwack, the future BCIT biologist became consumed with sport fishing. “At a very, very early age, I became absolutely besotted by angling,” he says. W h e n Ro s e n a u w a s a teenager, a girl asked his mother for tips on winning Rosenau’s heart. The answer? Turn into a fish. That passion led Rosenau around the world and back to the Fraser Valley where he became an outspoken advocate for river, wetland and fishery conservation efforts. Earlier this month, the Canadian Wildlife Federation awarded Rosenau the Roland Michener Conservation Award in recognition of his conservation work. “It gives me a tingle in the back of my neck,” said Rosenau about the award. Rosenau spoke to the Times from Australia where he is wrapping up a fivemonth sabbatical at the Aus-

Marvin Rosenau, BCIT professor, avid angler and winner of the Canadian Wildlife Federation’s Roland Michener Conservation Award, holds up a prize catch from the Fraser River. tralian Rivers Institute where he is comparing water use in the Greater Vancouver and Greater Brisbane areas. In the past decade, Rosenau has become an outspoken advocate against development that could harm B.C. rivers. After stepping on political toes as a government biologist to war n against a Mission d e v e l o p m e n t , Ro s e n a u eventually landed a professor’s gig at BCIT where he has continued his scientific and conservation work. Rosenau traces back his current work to the 20-acre

dairy farm on Banford Road his parents owned until he was 13. When Rosenau’s parents moved to the valley from Alberta “they were just astonished at what a stunning, stunning part of the world the Eastern Fraser Valley was.” That feeling rubbed off on Rosenau. Even though the Valley had already developed considerably by the late 1960s, when Rosenau and his family left for Coquitlam, the area still had a mystique that charmed and captured the imagination of the young

boy. “I kind of caught the last half of that where the fields still had a lot of morphology,” he said. “When I was a kid, there were all sorts of little swales and puddles and ponds. “The formative years of my interest in aquatic ecosystems really dealt with the frogs in our backyards, the sticklebacks, the leaches, the juvenile salmon and trout in the ditches around us.” That led to his passion for fishing, which in turn prompted him to use his burgeoning scientific knowledge to push for the protection of wetlands and rivers. “There’s a selfish motive to it too,” he said. “If you’re an angler and . . . you’re not catching anything and . . . you know somebody has done something—somebody’s screwed up the Fraser River, they’ve mined an important part of the Chilliwack River, they’ve put a subdivision on the bank where a subdivision shouldn’t be—finally it gets up your nose so much you have to stand up and speak out about it.” Rosenau said the award helps validate past actions and is a tribute to those he has worked within the Fraser Valley. “In many respects it’s a Chilliwack award; it’s a Fraser Valley award.” And he hopes that the award further strengthens

local efforts to preserve those rivers and wetlands that are left in the area. “I really hope that people within the Eastern Fraser Valley view what they have as something absolutely extraordinary. It’s an abso-

lute treasure,” he said. “I would hope that despite the huge amount of population influx, that we really would try to protect [rivers and wetlands] before they are absolutely obliterated.”

Transit study done BY PAUL J. HENDERSON

phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

ennifer Bigham’s transit study is done and the mayor is so impressed she wants it presented to city council at an upcoming meeting. Bigham isn’t an expensive city consultant, but rather is a 26-year-old, slightly disgruntled transit user who surveyed 500 people on the state of bus service in Chilliwack. Her report entitled Chilliwack Transit: Are we moving forward? is described as a comprehensive review of the transit system with suggested changes. “It’s an amazing study,” Mayor Sharon Gaetz said. “I’m excited. Good on her. I’m looking forward to seeing her presentation.” Bigham’s statistics show that 38 per cent of riders use transit because they don’t have a driver’s licence and 21 per cent

have no car. Sixteen per cent said it was to “live green,” and 12 per cent said it was to save money. Most people use transit to go to work or shopping (a combined 69 per cent) and 60 per cent of riders use the bus at least three times a week. So what do Bigham’s survey respondents think of transit? Not much. Sixty-nine per cent said they were either dissatisfied or very dissatisfied with overall service, while eight per cent said they were satisfied or very satisfied. “Since the sample population that was polled is an accurate cross section of the transit modeshare let us assume that appeasing their concerns would satisfy the transit users as a whole,” she concludes. “Chilliwackians are ready to take the bus; hopefully it will be ready for us!”

I have picked off many of the leaves but there’s a limit as to how many leaves you can remove. I have heard that epsom salts will “green up” the bush. How much salt should I add to a regular size watering can and how often should I apply this potion?” Pat Pryce Maple Ridge A: Magnesium (often applied through epsom salts) does green-up plants.

magnesium. Still, about one tablespoon of epsom salts to four litres of water wouldn’t do any harm and one or two applications every growing season might help. But the leaf blotches aren’t the typical symptoms of a magnesium deficiency. This deficiency shows up as yellow leaves with green veins. A soil test would indicate whether your rhododendron has nutritional problems. Brown spots on leaves could be a fungal disease. These are spread by rain and are very common after wet springs. They usually subside as the weather gets drier. The usual method of organic control is picking off the affected leaves and picking up the fallen leaves, garbaging all these then spreading a two-to-fourinch thick layer of bark mulch or compost under the bush.

Q: Is there an optimal time of year to plant shrubs or vines?” Josephine, Burnaby A: Spring is a good time to plant virtually everything— and the peak month is April, when shrubs or vines will enjoy almost three months of moisture followed by another three of summer warmth. But for anything deciduous and hardy, fall is also a good time. Deciduous shrubs and trees are best planted when their leaves have fallen and they’ve gone dormant for the year. Anything that’s the least bit tender in this climate— Escallonia or Ceanothus, for instance, should be planted in spring, never in fall. Summer is a terrible time to plant anything where watering could be a problem. When shrubs and vines are newly planted, it takes a while for roots to develop enough to go looking for their own

This combination features brilliant colours and is another personal favourite. Pink superbells are planted with orangery-red and yellow calibrachoas, yellow straw flowers and bright-red surfinia petunias. The colour combination is so striking that it will instantly be a conversation piece on your balcony or deck. Only four plants make up this container combination, making it a great cost-efficient planting as well. Pot size is 30 cm and is meant as a hanging basket. Sunny exposure.

treuse creeping Jenny and midnight blue torenia makes for a stunning hanging basket meant for the shade. While the colour scheme could be described as monochromatic, it just works in the shade.

’m a fan of container gardening, which is highly suitable for condo and apartment dwellers and offers both functionality and practicality. It’s functional because you can grow many plants in relatively few containers. It’s practical because of the ease to create, maintain and decorate with the planted containers. I’m frequently asked how to group containers or what plants go with other plants. One of my favourite information sources for putting together containers is Proven Winners, a creative company whose plants are always healthy. Every spring I head off to enjoy a long look at provenwinners.com to view new container ideas. In the past, we have looked at several of the Proven Winners formulas for building your own containers, but we haven’t talked about hanging baskets. Below are my picks for hanging basket combinations. I have chosen smaller pot sizes for these examples because I’m always aware of space restrictions for most balconies and decks. If you want a larger container arrangement, either choose larger plants or double their number. I don’t know which nurseries or greenhouses will carry the varieties here, but a search is worth the effort.

This combination gets a boost of colour from a sedona coleus. Surrounding the coleus are purple osteospermum, violet rose nemesia and yellow bidens. Pot size is 40 centimetres and works well as a hanging basket or in a window box. Sunny exposure. Formula: 1 soprano purple osteospermum; 1 color blaze sedona coleus; 1 safari violet rose nemesia; 2 solaire yellow bidens.

At Home GREEN THUMB, from page 19 wintering fungal spores from splashing up into the bush and re-infecting it. But if infected leaves stay in place, they will keep falling, spores will fall on the mulch, overwinter and re-infect the bush next spring. An organic gardener with a very large rhodo on which many of the infected leaves are impossible to pick would probably

Make sure rhodos have lots of water in summer droughts and fertilize regularly decide to live with the problem—especially since some leaves are not in trouble. It would help to make sure the rhodo has lots of water in summer droughts and regular fertilizing. These would strengthen the bush’s resistance to infection.

One last thought: brown edges on leaves can be a sign of salt damage. Is your rhodo near a path where salt is used in winter? Q: I have to repot my cathedral cactus. What type of soil should I use? Can I put it

outside for the summer?

E. Beaton via e-mail A: The cathedral cactus is really a euphorbia. Use regular potting soil with a handful of sand, grit or gravel to improve drainage. It can go outside for summer.

Durable and easy flooring BY MARC ATIYOLIL For Canwest News Service Dear Marc: My husband and I would like to replace our floor coverings this summer as part of a design project. I have a three-year-old son who has lots of energy and a tendency to spill things on the floor so I’m looking for a product that’s durable and easy to maintain. What should I consider? Rosanna Dear Rosanna: Floor coverings tie the entire content of a room together. A floor is the second-largest hard surface in a room on which you can add a splash of colour. Many designers will use the floor to tie the entire colour scheme together with the use of a soft surface covering such as a patterned carpet. Patterns in carpet will help camouflage stains left behind by an accidental spill, so avoid the temptation to buy a white rug. Ask yourself how many people use the room, and who, in particular will use it. The answers will help you determine how much traffic and wear and tear the room will get. In your situation, a white or light-coloured solid should be avoided at all costs; you’ll want to look for dark colours, which will ensure the rug’s lifespan. Another good option is hardwood. It is easy to clean and practically stain-resistant. It will last for years and come in a variety of stains and wood grains. In traditional design, a hardwood floor is avoided in high-moisture areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Wood and water don’t mix well, leaving you with stains. Hardwood is a great product for dry areas such as your family, living, dining and master bedrooms. You can also use an area rug in all these rooms to soften hardwood’s heavy presence and make the space look inviting. Eco-friendly flooring options are bamboo, leather and cork. !

Low-cal breaky or dessert

ow that summer is here, many of us want healthy low calorie and low fat meals or treats to maintain our swimsuit bodies. This recipe is one of our favourites. We made it for breakfast just last week and our four-yearold said to me “Wow, look Daddy; we’re having dessert for breakfast.” Enjoy . . .

Pineapple Muesli Yogurt Parfaits

Makes 4 portions. Preparation time: 15 minutes. Bake time: 15 minutes Muesli ingredients 2/3 cup large flake oats 1/3 cup bran flakes cereal 1/3 cup slivered almonds 1/3 cup unsweetened coconut 3 tablespoons wheat germ 2 tablespoons Splenda, granulated 1 tablespoon sesame seeds 1 tablespoon ground flax seed 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon salt 3 tablespoons canola oil Yogurt ingredients 2-398ml cans crushed pineapple 1-750g container plain low fat yogurg 6 tablespoons Splenda, granulated

Would like to thank the following sponsors & individuals for helping us make our event such a success!

CHEF DEZ

On Cooking 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract Directions Preheat oven to 400F. Combine the oats, bran cereal, almonds, coconut, wheat germ, 2 tablespoons Splenda, sesame seeds, ground flax seed, cinnamon, and salt in a mixing bowl. Drizzle the canola oil over this dry mixture and stir to combine thoroughly. Spread this mixture evenly on a small baking sheet. Bake for 15 minutes, stirring every five minutes, to ensure the mixture does not burn. Cool at room temperature on the baking sheet. This mixture will crisp as it cools on the baking sheet. Strain the canned pineapple in a wire strainer. Transfer the strained pineapple to a clean linen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze to remove the excess liquid. Combine the strained pineapple, yogurt, 6 tablespoons Splenda, and the vanilla together in a mixing bowl.

OVER $1,300 WAS RAISED FOR OUR LOCAL SPCA

Assemble the parfaits in four 300 ml parfait glasses or four 300 ml brandy snifters as follows: in each glass place one-half cup yogurt mixture, then one-quarter cup muesli, then another one-half cup yogurt mixture, and top with a final onequarter cup muesli mixture. Serve immediately. The muesli and yogurt mixtures can be made ahead of time, but do not assemble them together until just before serving to prevent the muesli mixture from going soggy. !

From music and munchies to mutts and the military, Chilliwack will celebrate Canada Day with the fun, games and events worthy of the nation’s biggest party. Heritage Park will be the place to be throughout the day. Things kick off early with a pancake breakfast at 8 a.m. and the party continues for more than 14 hours, wrapping up with a blast—specifically, fireworks. “It’s an opportunity to celebrate the best Canada has to offer,” said Heritage Park facilities manager Ana Macedo. “People come out in droves, and they want to celebrate File/TIMES with their families.” There is lots of fun planned for Canada Day celebrations at Heritage Each year organizers try to add Park on July 1 including the Chilliwack 4-H club’s dog agility demsomething brand new to the festionstration (below), Rosie Ribbonstar (above right) and the annual vities. highlight, fireworks. “This year we will pay special tribute to the Canadian military,” said Heritage Park] it’s very evident that m a n c e s b y t h e Fa b Macedo.

Chilliwack hits Las Vegas A

group of seven hip-hop dancers from Project Dance will represent Chilliwack on the world stage in Las Vegas at the end of July. The group, ranging in age from eight to 12, were thrilled to learn that based on an honours performance at the Canadian Hip-Hop Championships recently at the Michael J. Fox Theatre in Burnaby, their outstanding performance landed them a spot at the World Hip-Hop Championships in Las Vegas July 28 to August 1. “This is beyond exciting,” said Project Dance owner/director Amanda

Quinton. “The Las Vegas competition is created by the producers of the MTV show ‘Randy Jackson Presents America’s Dance Crew.’ It attracts top dancers from more than 30 nations, and Chilliwack will be represented on that stage.” The team of Emma Boutilier, Josh Phillips, Shelby Soderstrom, Autumn Mastin, Halle Konrad, Madeleine Burke and Kylee Hamel, choreographed by Paul Otterbein, will compete in the junior hip-hop division. The third annual world champion-

ship will also feature the increasingly popular dance forms of locking, popping, b-boy/b-girl and freestyling. Fundraising is already underway for this outstanding opportunity, with any local support greatly appreciated. Following their year-end shows over the last two weekends, Project Dance dancers will perform at Heritage Park for the Canada Day celebrations on July 1. For more information, contact Amanda Quinton at 604-309-3802 or e-mail projectdance@shaw.ca.

Gogo and the blues

o z z i n i ’s U p s t a i r s Lounge presents another great night of blues on July 4 featuring David Gogo for the first time. For his 10th album, Different Views, blues rocker David Gogo had some unique sights to inspire him during the recording process. Instead of the usual confines of your typical recording studio, the bulk of the album was recorded at his home overlooking the 160-acre Christmas tree farm and forest that make up the Gogo family compound. The keyboard tracks were recorded at Rick Hopkins’s (Colin James, Barney Bentall) home overlooking breathtaking Lions Bay. The album is produced by Russell Broom (Jann Arden, Sam Roberts, The Dudes, Wil) with guests Shaun Verrault (Wide Mouth Mason), roots

diva Carolyn Mark, and jazz great Phil Dwyer popping in at various times. With the drums set up in the foyer and guitar amps in the laundry room, the Gogo house was filled with music and good food. Gogo said that at times he wasn’t sure if he was a musician or a caterer. The fact that the clock wasn’t ticking, along with Gogo’s vast collection of vinyl albums, vintage guitars and pop culture memorabilia at their fingertips, created a stimulating creative environment. This combination added variety and spice unlike previous Gogo efforts without losing focus of what he’s all about. The show is July 4. Doors open at 6 p.m., show is at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 and there is a $10 minimum charge. Reserve in person or call 604792-0744.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Aries March 21 - April 19: Be ambitious Sunday. Information is coming (or being suppressed) from places it usually doesn’t. Friendships and optimism perk you up Monday to Wednesday – this relieves the general sluggishness you’re steeped in. (It’s a good sluggishness; you’re in a month-long natural hibernation cycle, designed to heal some overstrained parts of your health/emotions.) Use these three days to view the future, and make subsequent decisions about who/what to nurture, and who/what to chuck in your life. Rest, retreat Thursday/Friday. Don’t butt your head against an invisible brick wall Saturday.

Cancer June 21-July 22: Your energy, charisma and effectiveness remain high. Start important projects, seek favours, make personal appearances. (E.g., if seeking a job, show at the door, or phone, rather than sending a resume.) Your communications skills are sharp and career-oriented right now. Your money picture remains good. You could purchase a small luxury item. This inﬂuence helps career, too – angle for a pay raise. Sunday’s for relationships. Life’s deeper side rises to the surface Monday to Wednesday: research, invest, commit to a lifestyle change, become intimate – all’s good. Gentle joy Thursday.

Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: My superﬁcial advice is: be ambitious this week and the next few; it’s your time to strike. However, a “karmic hangover” affects this area through July 3. You might be wise to wait until Saturday onward to act. A different approach, situation, idea, project, might arrive July 3 onward, while those that draw you prior to this day might be subtle traps, involve suspect motives, or simply promise more than they will deliver. (Remember, through March 5, 2011 don’t push higher-ups, bosses, judges, etc.) Rely on your “inner antennae” more than my advice. Romantic vibes Monday to Wednesday!

Taurus April 20-May 20: The accent lies on communications,travel,siblings,casualacquaintances. You’re busy, but the stakes aren’t high, and you handle everything easily. One pretty important communication might exist early week – perhaps having a legal or love import. Sunday’s mellow, compassionate, good for gentle love, intellectual friends or foreign culture. Be ambitious Monday to Wednesday – all’s good! Friends, ﬂirtations, optimism, happiness brighten Wednesday night to Thursday/Friday. But retreat Saturday – nothing good will come of certain associates, gossip, etc. Read an atlas!

Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Rest, lie low, contemplate, plan your future. Be charitable, seek spiritual regeneration. Deal with governments, institutions, head ofﬁces, and “red tape.” Tackle a few chores Sunday. Early week might bring a few secrets, or an interesting nugget of information in a book, newspaper, etc. Relationships come front and centre Monday to Wednesday — be diplomatic, your position is not strong. Life’s secret ways open up Wednesday eve to Friday: investments, debt, sexual urges, research, dreams. Your hunches are accurate, results good. Don’t express your opinion Saturday, despite enthusiasm.

Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: An intellectual, legal, cultural, educational, publishing, far travel and gentle love trend floats into your life through the weeks ahead. Delay real action in any of these spheres until July 4 onward – subtle “wrong doorways” exist. Still, you’ll be happy, you’ll enjoy the mellow affection of this week! Sunday’s for talk, travel, news. You might learn something significant early week – a tidbit in talk, or a way of looking – that changes your outlook, philosophy. Rest Monday-Wednesday. This last night to Friday bring romance, creative and pleasure urges – all fine! Caution Saturday.

Gemini May 21-June 20: This week and the next few emphasize money, earnings, the price of things, possessions, memory, rote learning and, possibly, a sensual interlude. Early week, you might sense/know that these things are either tied to, or oppose, their deeper side (investments,family ﬁnances,inheritance, deeply consequential sex, etc.) For example, the amount you can invest is tied to earnings. In general (except Sunday) it’s better to focus on the light side, earnings, light sex, etc. Intellectual success, gentle love hover Monday-Wednesday. Be ambitious Thursday (very!) and Friday. Saturday’s hopeful.

Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: You will enjoy this week and the next few – friends, popularity, optimism, entertainment, light romance and happiness buoy your days! Your sexual magnetism intensifies through July. (Already has, since June 6.) Your determination grows to cause some significant change in your life. This would be very natural – go ahead. Sunday’s romantic, creative – seek pleasure. Tackle chores Monday to Wednesday; you’ll accomplish them. Relationship excitement enters Wednesday night to Friday. Be diplomatic – but eager! Caution Saturday: an attraction, financial situation, has problems.

Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: This week and the next few, the accent lies on life changes, sexual urges, investments and debt, secrets, research, dreams. Your subconscious rises to the surface. Hunches are accurate. But don’t act on any of these in a major way before July 4 – especially be careful with ﬁnances and intimate commitments. Before then, a subtle trap exists which you might not “wake to” for months, years. Spend – carefully – Sunday. Friends, talk, errands Monday to Wednesday. Secrets, data, are everywhere! Home draws, and is a good place, Thursday/Friday. Romance needs caution Saturday.

June 27 - July 3 Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Although relationships ﬁll the weeks ahead, and will generally be fruitful, productive and pleasing, be cautious about forming long-standing, consequential links. That applies to March 5, 2011, but especially this week. Early week, you might meet a talkative person, perhaps someone who could/would be a mate or an employee or coworker. You might be “signing on” for a situation that turns dull, draws you into wrong choices, or simply doesn’t fulﬁl its promise. All June/July, avoid a lawsuit, especially over property or children. Chase money Monday-Wednesday. Make friends Thursday. Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Tackle chores all week, and to late July. (Well, maybe take a rest Sunday — and don’t tackle anything frenetically Saturday, July 3.) You’ll get a lot done, which will free you for the opportunities of August. Make sure you focus your efforts on the right tasks – tackle what’s outstanding, but don’t create new work projects. Your energy and effectiveness rises nicely Monday to Wednesday — wink at someone! Chase money or shop Thursday (better) and Friday. Friends don’t tell all Saturday. Your sexual magnetism is high all June/July – interesting “situations” arise. Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: This week offers romance, pleasure, creative surges, passion about anything, charming kids, nature’s beauty – enjoy these, but don’t let them lead you into major lifeaffecting actions (especially this week, but generally to March, 2011). However, a subtle trap might lurk. E.g., romance could lead to a love affair that turns your life in the wrong direction. Sunday’s for fun, though it might turn profound if you meet a Virgo. Depths, mysteries, investments/debt, life changes Monday-Wednesday – dive in, all’s fine. Your energy, charisma soar Thursday/Friday – impress someone! timstephens@shaw.ca • Reading: 416-686-5014
