hen clients like doing choresandhomework, you know you’re doing something right.

Road building since the early 1980s. Young, who has been a society client since 1977, likes working on her literacy tasks, along with dishing the dirt on her beloved Vancouver Canucks. The outgoing pair are just dozens of intellectually disabled adults the organization has helped in its 40 years—an anniversary the group
will celebrate with an open house May 28. Most have Down’s Syndrome. Others have fetal alcohol syndrome and disabilities caused by childhood seizures or physical trauma. Unable to live totally independent lives, the society gives adults like Young and Buckberry a place to see old friends and learn skills that can help them in their day-to-day lives.
Manager Arlene Pede, who has been with the society for 40 years, says public acceptance of the developmentally disabled has increased dramatically since the group began in 1970. “People looked at them like they’re strange. Now, they’re part of the community,” said Pede. The
ity hall’s vision for the next 30 years in downtown Chilliwack goes to public hearing next week after which it will likely become part of the city’s Official Community Plan (OCP). In July 2008, the Downtown Land Use and Development Plan (DLUDP) was first presented to the public. Since then, city staff and the consultants, HB Lanarc, have conducted technical studies, incorporated public input, developed polices and mapped out an implementation plan. “The new plan charts a longterm course for the growth and transformation of the downtown as a civic and economic centre, as well as a healthy-living community,” according to the staff report prepared by city planners Peter Li and Karen Stanton. Essentially, the DLUDP is a framework for how development will occur in the specified downtown area over the next 30 years. The plan outlines specific zones for density throughout the area designated as downtown: Prospera Centre and the Landing to the west, Broadway Street to the east, the CN rail line and Bernard Avenue to the south, and Lewis, Bonny and Portage avenues to the north. That area had 10,432 people living in 5,355 dwellings in 2007, according to numbers outlined in the plan. Over the next 30 years

Upfront Briefly Police search for missing Chilliwack man As the Times went to press Friday, police were asking the public to help Mounties find a missing Chilliwack man. Michael Coutinho was last seen in Yarrow on May 8. The 60-year-old veteran was wearing green military pants, a black T-shirt and white running shoes. He is five-foot-10, about 185 pounds with grey eyes and grey hair. Coutinho was driving a white PT Cruiser with the licence plate 497 CWF. It is an O’Connor’s courtesy car. Police say it’s unusual for Coutinho to be missing for such a long period of time.

Forklift fatality was Chilliwack man BY BENJAMIN ALLDRITT North Shore News
A
Chilliwack worker at North Vancouver’s Lynnterm dock was killed Wednesday afternoon when his forklift tumbled into the harbour and trapped him underwater. Kevin Lowes, 44, was one of two men moving a pair of forklifts and some welding equipment onto a floating barge ramp when one of the pontoons supporting the ramp gave way. “One of the forklifts fell over the side with the operator inside,” said Cpl. Peter DeVries, spokesman for the North Vancouver RCMP. “That went down to the bottom and he was
trapped inside.” Canadian Coast Guard communications officer Dan Bate said four divers and a hovercraft were dispatched from Sea Island to try and rescue Lowes, who was under 15 feet of water. “It took them a bit of time to discover (the forklift) because of the debris and items in the water,” Bate said. Once they had freed him, the dive team lifted the man to a waiting Vancouver Police Department boat, which brought him to paramedics on the shore. “This was about an hour and a half after the fact. They made some attempts to revive him but they weren’t able to,” said DeVries.
The coroner later pronounced Lowes dead at the scene. DeVries said there is no indication of foul play and police have released the scene to Human Resources and Skills Development Canada, who will lead the accident investigation instead of WorkSafe B.C. because the dockside is under federal jurisdiction. The B.C. Coroners Service will also report on the man’s death. Ti m C h a p m a n , p re s i d e n t o f Western Stevedoring, said he hopes to have divers and a floating crane at the scene of the accident by Friday. “There is a lift truck on the ramp remaining, and we have other equipment that appears to have
come off the ramp. We need to confirm their whereabouts and conditions and we can only do that with divers. The structural integrity of the ramp needs to be investigated. In its current twisted state, we need to raise that with a fairly heavy crane to have it examined by qualified people,” he said. Chapman said the other man on the ramp, while not injured, is traumatized and not able to speak with investigators yet. “Our entire organization is in shock by the loss of him. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends and fellow workers,” Chapman said.
READY FOR HIS CLOSE-UP

A local woman accused a clown of trying to kidnap her son during the annual Christmas parade. Diana McAndrew said she was standing with her three-year-old son Cooper watching the parade when a passing clown grabbed her son’s hand and walked away. A chase ensued before the clown let go of the child and vanished into the crowd.

We need M to move on over
o u n t i e s a re re m i n d i n g motorists to slow down and move over when they pass a tow truck stopped on the side of the road. Last week a speeding semi-truck clipped a tow truck that was helping a broken-down vehicle on the side of the Trans-Canada Highway near Yale Road. Fortunately, no one was injured in
the incident. The RCMP, however, is reminding the public of a new law that requires drivers to slow down and, if possible, move to a lane away from parked emergency vehicles (including tow trucks) with flashing lights. On roads with speed limits of 80 km/h or more, drivers must slow to below 70 km/h. On roads with a speed limit of 50 km/h, drivers must
be driving a maximum of 40 km/h when approaching and passing official vehicles with flashing lights. If it is safe to do so, a driver must move a lane over to give the emergency vehicle and its occupant more safe. “At the end of the day, we want our emergency workers to go home safely and not to a hospital,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jamie Chung.

Raw dairy farmer visits Schmidt BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
C
hilliwack dairy farmer Alice Jongerden made a recent trip to the raw milk mecca of Durham, Ont. where farmer Michael Schmidt operates Glencolton Farms. Jongerden runs Home on the Range, a raw milk dairy in Chilliwack that has received significant attention in recent months as health authorities attempt to shut it down. Jongerden made the trip to Schmidt’s 150-cow operation to see how his cowshare co-operative works. “I also wanted to hear from the horse’s mouth the legal challenges he has faced, and how they compare(d) to what we have been facing,” she told the Times in an e-mail. “Also, as we are
planning some restructuring, I felt it best to see from another perspective before moving forward.” Schmidt was most recently in the news in January when an Ontario court found him not guilty of 19 charges relating to selling unpasteurized milk. Raw, or unpasteurized, milk is legal to drink but illegal to sell in Canada. Jongerden, like Schmidt, operates on the cow share principal and, notwithstanding their claims that raw milk is not only safe but healthier than pasteurized dairy products, they both claim the backlash has nothing to do with health or safety. “[ T ]his is clearly an issue about property rights, and not about milk or health, etc.,” Jongerden said. “We continue to provide the same service now for the members as we have done from
the beginning.” In March, a B.C. Supreme Court justice ordered Home on the Range to “cease and desist” packaging and distributing raw milk produced for the 400 shareholders. Gordon Watson a shareholder and long-time raw milk advocate filed an appeal to the B.C. Supreme Court ruling. Since then, Jongerden has continued to care for the cows and ensure cooperative members “receive their dividends, their property.” Only now, those who get dairy products from Jongerden are told that it has been deemed a health hazard by the provincial government, containers are labelled “not for human consumption” and they are given a list of uses for their See MILK, Page 10

News Tightening up registration rules The Chilliwack school district is tightening up rules around student registration following an audit that cost the district more than $243,000 this year. At a recent board of education meeting, trustees approved amendments to the district’s registration policy, which will now require students to provide proof of citizenship and residence before registering in the district. Although such proof has been a provincial requirement for some time, this is the first time it will be specifically outlined in district policy. A January enrolment audit of the district’s high schools found the district negligent in its record-keeping and tracking of students and forced the district to pay back $243,549 of provincial funding out of the 2009-2010 budget. The changes approved at the last board meeting will address some of the gaps revealed in the audit, according to superintendent Corinne McCabe. Kipp centre on the chopping block The Kipp Conference Centre’s days may be numbered once the Chilliwack school district picks a team to design and build the new Chilliwack senior secondary. Once the district makes its choice— something that should happen by the end of summer—the conference and resource centre, which houses the district’s curriculum, work experience and aboriginal education departments, will be handed over to the design-build team to use as they see fit. Options could include demolishing the building, which was renovated in 2006 at a cost of more than half a million dollars, or using it to house Chilli-

If the building remains standing, it will become home to Fraser Valley Distance Education, if not, FVDE will move into the new Chilliwack secondary. Repurposing Kipp will save the district about $125,000 next year. June 8 meeting cancelled Busy Chilliwack school trustees have voted to cancel their June 8 school board meeting. District superintendent Corinne McCabe advised them the meeting would interfere with district staff and trustees attending the Sardis secondary awards ceremony scheduled for the same night. She said calendar conflicts of this kind are common in June because spaces big enough to accommodate large gatherings are limited in Chilliwack. “It’s a very, very busy month,” she said, “and we thought we’d be able to manage the board business without having that meeting.” Only two meetings now remain on the Board of Education calendar. The next meeting is tonight, May 25 at 7 p.m. at the Cultus Lake Community School, and the final meeting is scheduled for June 22 at the school district office.

News Parks and rec report shows everything moving along At the May 17 meeting of Chilliwack city council, parks, recreation and culture director Gord Pederson presented his department’s first quarter report for 2010. Among the highlights included the 2010 Torch Relay Event, cultural centre construction nearing completion, the completion of the Cheam Leisure Centre and Vedder Trail extension. First quarter 2010 library numbers showed that circulation, programs, attendance, holds placed and the people counter were all up at the Chilliwack Library over 2009. Local fire department responded to fewer calls Chilliwack Fire Department Chief Rick Ryall presented the department’s first quarter fire report for 2010 at the May 17 meeting. The total number of incident responses for the three-month period was 513, down from 535 in 2009, 516 in 2008 and 643 in 2007. There were 70 fires, six rescues and 31 emergency medical calls among the calls this year. Fire alarms made up 31 per cent of the total call volume followed by public service calls at 24 per cent and burning complaints at 12 per cent. Landing renovation slated to make room for Players Guild The city selected the contractor to enclose the canopy area of the Landing Sports Centre to create the new home for the Chilliwack Players Guild. Seven tenders were received and JDG Construction Management Ltd. was awarded the contract with a low bid of $148,972 including HST.
Council briefs
Janzen joins Collaborative Services Committee Coun. Diane Janzen—who was absent from the May 17 meeting—was appointed as council representative on a newly created Collaborative Services Committee “to better manage patient care in Chilliwack.” The committee will include representatives from Fraser Health, the Ministry of Health Services, the city, the GP Services Committee, among others. Universal Contractor wins bid to build sidewalks Three tenders were received by the city for the 2010 concrete works program to construct sidewalks on Yale Road West, Hocking Avenue and Thomas Road. Universal Contracting won the contract with a low bid of $116,855.58 for the projects. The Yale Road West project will see removal of old asphalt and a chain link fence to be replaced by sidewalk and new fence near the Little Chilliwack River. The Hocking Ave-
nue sidewalk will be at the northeast corner of the intersection of Hocking and McIntosh Drive. The Thomas Road project is to construct 315 metres of sidewalk on the north side of Thomas Road from Clover Drive west to Vedder Road. Utilities upgrade contract goes to Wedler Engineering Wedler Engineering has been selected by the city for the $74,000 utilities upgrade project. The project includes the design and installation of watermains and sanitary sewers at various locations throughout the city. The four watermains to be upgraded are on McNaught Raod, Brett Avenue, School Street and Nowell Street. The gravity trunk sewer upgrade is for Miller Drive. Agassiz-Harrison transit upgrade gets approved At the last meeting of council, $15,798 per year was approved to be spent by council to go towards 2,600 hours of additional transit service in Agassiz and Harrison Hot Springs. BC Transit told the city they could share funding for the project, which was made available due to the recent decision to purchase an additional vehicle. The District of Kent has already approved its share of the cost. The City of Chilliwack provides 19 per cent of the funding for the Agassiz-Harrison transit system based on an estimate of population served along the route within city limits. The changes will allow for more services hours for transit users. ◗ Compiled by Paul J. Henderson

The art of fading technologies
S
ome things just don’t exist anymore, except at garage sales or maybe antique stores. When’s the last time you used a letter-opener? Unless you have one left over from a bygone era, you probably don’t have more letters than you can open with your thumb or a sturdy pen. Speaking of which, I wonder if and when our pens will go the way of those letter-openers. It’s interesting to think back on some technologies that have faded into obscurity. Some of them don’t live long. Somewhere up in the garage attic I know I have an electric typewriter. There’s an old 386 computer up there, too. But most amazing of all is the computer/ typewriter that is stored amidst the rubble there. Not quite a typewriter and not quite a computer, it sort of looked like both. You could (maybe still can, if its guts haven’t rotted away) write an entire page of words, letters, and numbers before loading in a piece of paper and watching it all print out at once—not a letter at a time, like an ordinary typewriter. And there was a full screen, so corrections could be made prior to printing. Some of those old technologies have profound sociology attached to them.

Be Our Guest We had several of those old amber cut-glass ashtrays for sale at the Advance Relay for Life team’s garage sale this weekend. When’s the last time you walked into a friend’s home and saw a really nice ashtray sitting on the living room coffee table? They used to be ubiquitous. Even people who weren’t smokers themselves always had ashtrays to accommodate their smoking friends and acquaintances—on the coffee table, on the end tables . . . heck, they were often built right into the arms of sofas and easy chairs. Ashtrays were standard art projects at school—even elementary school. I remember making several over the years: at least two were made of clay, all painted pretty and nice, and in my metalwork class in (I think) Grade 8 one of the standard projects was to beat an ashtray out of a sheet of copper. I got a very good mark for mine —I remember, because although I always aced the written exams,
my 10 thumbs ensured that I didn’t often get very good marks for the hands-on projects. By the time I made my varnished copper ashtray in the metal shop, my Dad had quit smoking. He realized that part of the responsibility of being a parent —and a good husband—was to be there for his family for as long as he could be. (Actually, he has been quite successful at that—he’s 95 years, seven months, and 25 days old today) So since Dad wasn’t smoking anymore, and Mom never did smoke, I decided to use the ashtray myself. That’s when I took up the evil habit which enslaved me through high school and university before I, too, grew a brain. Hmmm . . . kids making ashtrays in grade school and then becoming tobacco addicts in high school, despite their parents’ best efforts . . . ya think there’s a connection? Ashtrays and letter-openers you can find at almost any garage sale. But you still can’t buy corporate consciences at any second-hand venue. Perhaps that’s because they are so precious that anybody who has one will never give it up. ◗ Bob Groeneveld is the editor of the Langley Advance.
ransLink has an uneven way of looking at things. When it comes to its overall future, it cries that the sky is falling and the public needs to fork over hundreds of millions of dollars in a variety of taxes, levies and user fees in order for it to survive. But when it comes to the Golden Ears Bridge, all is rosy and glowing and according to plan. Even if it isn’t. It was revealed recently that the new toll bridge has cost TransLink nearly $5 million more to operate in its first year than was projected. According to a story by Canwest News, use of the bridge has been lower than expected, meaning less toll revenue to cover its costs. “TransLink spokesman Ken Hardie said ridership estimates going back to 2004 projected daily use of the bridge would be 29,400 vehicles in its first year. But the actual daily average from July 16, 2009, through to March 2010 was only 20,600.” That’s about 9,000 fewer vehicles per day. That’s a lot. It’s also not surprising considering that the bridge usually looks like a ghost town no matter what time of day. But TransLink isn’t worried. Of course it isn’t. All is well, nothing to see here. “What we see, though, is a trend that’s improving,” said Hardie optimistically. In March, for instance, the peak volume hit an average of 26,200. Whether that number stays solid and continues to grow is anybody’s guess. We hope so because under the bridge contract TransLink (meaning us) has to pay the builder no matter what. This isn’t to say we don’t like the bridge. On the contrary, it’s made life wonderful for a lot of people by saving a lot of time and gas to get across the river. Because of that, we’re frankly surprised that the bridge isn’t more popular. Now if we could only sell the the two Albion ferries that were replaced by the bridge...

Dog owners need to be more respectful Editor: I’m writing you a crappy letter. Where do you draw the line on ignorant disrespectful people who own dogs? For years I’ve watched people walk their dogs, big and small, past my yard, admire my plants and shrubs then let their dogs crap and pee all over my near-perfect lawn (I say near perfect because of the pee burns and dog crap all over it). I understand that like all of us sometimes you got to go, but if you own a dog then you should be prepared to suffer the consequences of owning it—like picking up the crap and fixing the burns on your own lawn. If you don’t own a yard, don’t get a dog. Over the years I’ve watched people carrying their little bags of crap, pick it up then dump it out by the post office boxes or on my

Seriously people, if you don’t have the means of disposal or don’t want to deal with it destroying your own yard, get rid of your dog. I’ve even gone as far as asking some repeat offenders to pick up their crap only to be told it’s not theirs. What gets me the most
(unless you have the time to follow the person home, find out their address and report them to the bylaw office to maybe get them fined) is that there is nothing you can do without breaking the criminal code. Does anyone out there have a solution to this problem (besides a
$1,000 fence)? For you that walk your dogs and let them go all over someone else’s yard, remember the four-year-old kids that like to run around on it until they’re covered in crap. Rob Tompkins Chilliwack
Traffic already too busy along road Editor: There is a proposal to open a 100-acre gravel pit on Chilliwack Lake Road that would have the capacity to run for 40 years. I want to add my voice to the many who are concerned about the additional traffic this site would generate. Speculation suggests somewhere between 50 to 90-plus passes by
dump trucks per day. Anyone who has driven out here in the summer knows the volume of traffic on this road already. We have logging trucks, kayakers, bicyclers, picnickers, RVers, hikers, ATVers, joggers, dirt bikers and campers. It is a dead end road, whoever drives in must come back out the same way. In the summer there is a flag person stationed at the bridge over the Vedder River to help ease some of the congestion as cars get backed down Vedder Road, sometimes almost to Promontory Road. The road is twisty, narrow, and, at times, lined with fishermen’s vehicles. Add to that the families who try to dodge traffic to cross to the river with children, dogs and all manner of beach paraphernalia. Surely there is a better place to put a gravel pit.

$3.3 mil upgrades slated for west dike BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com
A
$3 million upgrade to a section of the dike on the west bank of the Vedder River in Yarrow was approved at the May 17 meeting of city council. The project involves raising a 3.8-kilometre portion of the dike by as much as 80 centimetres to protect against floods on both the Fraser and Vedder rivers. The project is to be funded through the federal/provincial infrastructure stimulus
fund. Total cost for the project is $3,342,500 including GST and HST. On Oct. 16, $2.17 million in joint provincial and federal funding was announced for the project. The remaining $1.085 million will be funded by the city. The upgrades will bring the dike section into conformance with the current provincial standards, according to the staff report presented to council. The raised dike will be designed to provide protection against the 1894 flood of record
on the Fraser River, and meet the provincial standard for flood protection on the Vedder River, which is based on a one-in-200-year flood event. Request for proposal packages were sent to three proponents in February. At last week’s meeting, council selected the lead proponent, Golder Associates Innovative Applications (GAIA) Inc., to complete the work. The project has to be completed by March 31, 2011 to qualify for the infrastructure funding, so a completion date is set at Oct. 31 to eliminate the risk of delays.

Well-known Sto:lo leader Doug Kelly has stepped out of his high profile provincial role with the First Nations summit.
Kelly steps aside in the name of greater unity BY JONATHAN FOWLIE Vancouver Sun
A
local figure in British Columbia’s First Nations leadership has announced he is stepping aside from his provincial role in hopes that doing so will help inspire greater unity. “We are at a low tide with B.C. First Nations unity,” Grand Chief Doug Kelly wrote in an open letter Tuesday as he announced he will not run again for executive of the First Nations Summit. “In many respects, I think we’ve lost our way,” the Soowahlie band member added in an interview Thursday, speaking of a collection of leaders called the First Nations Leadership Council. “I think it’s time for some of the younger leaders to step up, to join the Leadership Council, to take the work, the challenges, the opportunities and move them forward,” said Kelly, who next month turns 50. Kelly said the fracturing of First Nations in B.C. stems from two major events. The first, he said, was the election of Shawn Atleo as the national chief of the Assembly of First Nations. Kelly said the community was not fully unified on the decision, and he believes that rift has carried forward since. He added that Atleo served as a “facilitator and peacemaker” among B.C. leaders, and that no other members have been able to fill that role now that Atleo is gone.
The second issue, he said, was blowback last year from within the First Nations community over a proposed provincial Recognition and Reconciliation Act, which would have recognized aboriginal land claims throughout the province. Last August, First Nations chiefs from across the province decided not only to kill the proposed legislation, but also to review the leadership structure that had led to its creation. “Chiefs rejected the topdown process that saw only three members of the Leadership Council negotiating the proposed legislation,” Kelly wrote in his letter. “Chiefs did not have confidence in this negotiation team to represent and protect First Nations interests at the negotiation table,” he added. After that decision in August, First Nations leaders established an All Chiefs Task Force to review the structure of the Leadership Council. Beverley Clifton Percival is chair of that task force and said her group finished three days of meetings on Thursday. “We all agree there’s strength in us being unified and advancing things together,” she said, adding the group is making good progress and will continue its work to determine how this can best be accomplished. Kelly said he will continue to be involved with the leadership of his local first nation, and will take on other roles as well.

Canadian. These may include such icons as the RCMP, the CN Tower, the maple leaf, provincial flowers and flags, and hockey stars. Canadian children also need to recognize their own and other cultures within the books. This might include a folk tale about a particular group, illustrations depicting an ethnic costume or custom, or simply characters from a variety of races. In addition, our children need to appreciate what each individual or group has contributed or can contribute to the story of Canada. Lastly, an awareness of history is as important to the transmission of a national identity as it is to our personal body of knowledge. Canadian chil-

dren need to see their history depicted authentically—not just significant events and people but also the daily life of ordinary citizens. An honest and accurate portrayal of this country’s successes and failures broadens the knowledge of significant events, important time periods, and social issues. The inclusion of a variety of these Canadian cultural markers in a book greatly contributes to an overall understanding of who we are.We can help our children appreciate the richness and diversity of our nation through their exposure to quality Canadian children’s literature.
towards
n order for young children to learn about, and identify with their country, they must be exposed to a variety of media that strongly portrays all aspects of the Canadian experience. Children need to see themselves, their families, their culture and their country reflected in what they read and view in order to develop a sense of self, a sense of place and a sense of national identity. For Canadian children this exposure is even more important as so much of our information comes from the United States. In particular, picture books are vitally important in communicating an understanding of Canada. The text is relatively short, the illustrations extend the text by supplying information that the text doesn’t. By reading picture books that feature, for instance, Canadian landscapes, the people, and events our children come to understand what helped to form this nation. Pictures that feature landscape help children appreciate this huge country and all its geographical features. In addition, the depiction of other cultural markers, whether they are of national, regional or local significance, all add to a greater understanding of what it is to be

teams; Black, a high performance competitive mixed team, Blue, a recreational/competitive team and Liquid Silver, a youth team for ages 13-18. For most of the members who train at least two to three days a week on the water, the sport of dragon boating is addictive. “It’s hard work and worth every second of it. I love it,” said Sheena Davidson, a public health nurse who’s been paddling for 12 years. Dragon boating originated in China more than 2,000 years ago, but has made a resurgence of late and is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. “I think it’s a sport that’s ideal for everybody, there’s a place for everybody regardless of fitness, gender, or age,” said Pam Jones, president of Sudden Impact, who works as a transition co-ordinator for the University of the Fraser Valley. She’s been dragon boating for 11 years, and is also the trainer for the Blue team. “Everybody can begin somewhere and make improvements and be part of a social network and an extended family,” she said. Each team consists of 20 paddlers who must paddle in sync on a long narrow boat that weighs about 600 pounds empty. The sport builds muscle, core strength, endurance and teamwork with the main focus on timing and technique for the paddlers. There is also a caller (at the front of the boat) who paces the race and a steer who keeps the boat moving straight, and all have an important role in the success of the team. “There is a feeling on a boat, when you’re operating together, of trust. You have to trust one another that you’re going to execute your race plan and do your individual jobs so that collectively we can have a good result,” added Jones. Karmen Aulakh is co-captain of the Black team and also coaches the youth team, Liquid Silver. When the former soccer player began the sport 10 years ago, he had a rude awakening when a master’s team, where the average age was 65, beat him and his team. “Obviously this sport is a little harder than I thought,” he realized back then. He stayed with it and says that everyone is constantly learning and honing their technique. Now he plans to build the youth team. “We want the sport to grow,” he said, adding that while dragon boating has been around in the Fraser Valley since 2000, there are not a lot of youth teams. “It’s not one of the traditional sports. They don’t realize that there are sports out here for youth that are a team atmosphere and promotes teamwork. With dragon boating, you’re only as strong as your weakest pad-
dler. It will only work if everyone paddles as one.” Liquid Silver has about 16 active members, and they need 20 to 24 to make a viable team. “We’ve seen huge progress with the kids and when they race they’re doing phenomenal. They won their first medal this year,” he said. But it’s not just for the young, Aulakh added. “Dragon boating is a great springboard, especially if you’re getting into sports later in life. It has no age limit.” And it’s not all about competition but camaraderie as well. Just ask former basketball/volleyball star Annette Borrows. “Having 20 other adults on one team from diverse backgrounds and different jobs is a unique way to find friends,” said Borrows, who works at Community Futures in Abbotsford and paddles for the Black team. She’s been dragon boating for four year after an injury forced her to give up competitive ball. In the beginning she hated it when she realized she could not be the superstar of the team. “I had to figure out how to be one with the rest of the paddlers. It was a total transition, you just have to blend.” But after her first regatta, when the competitiveness and adrenaline kicked in, she was hooked. While the Blue team is a recreational team with seasoned as well as new paddlers who compete in regattas, the Black is a highly competitive team, that practises all year on and off the water, even throughout the winter. Co-captain Bruce Davidson was a recreational paddler before being approached to join SI and put together a mixed (men and women’s) team. “I jumped at the chance and never regretted it,” he said. “Paddling at the competitive level means we’re practising 12 months a year with three scheduled practices a week plus hitting the gym. I am on the water six days a week, often from 5 to 6 a.m. before going to work, then on the water in the evening again. Addicted? Yes I am, but many of us are. We keep pushing ourselves so we do not let our teammates down, as there are 22 people on the boat all pulling together.” The Black have their eye set on the Canadian Nationals, to be held this summer in Whistler, and after that, to finish in the top five at the Canadian Club Crews to be held in Welland, Ont. in 2011. A top-five finish there would give Sudden Impact entry into the Worlds Club Crews. “How cool would that be, Sudden Impact representing Canada,” asked Davidson.
Let the community know how proud you are of their achievement!

‘Meet Me’ events are free
T
he City of Chilliwack Parks & Recreation Department together with the Chilliwack Early Years Committee (sub- committee of the Chilliwack Child & Youth Committee) received a grant from the BC Recreation and Parks Association to host two free family events to celebrate the Great Outside. Meet Me at the Park! will be held on Friday, May 28 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. outside the Landing Leisure Centre (9145 Corbould Ave) and features organized walks every half hour, jump house, face painting, activities, displays, contests and prizes. The spray park will also be open. A toonie swim will follow at the Landing Leisure Centre from 1 to 3 p.m. Meet Me at the River! will be held on Saturday, June 12 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the entrance to the Rotary Trail (on Vedder Road by the bridge, additional parking at Peach Ave.) and features organized walks and runs every half hour, a jump house, face painting, activities, displays, contests and prizes. A hot dog sale to raise funds for the 4-H Dog Club will be held. The purpose of these two events is to encourage everyone to get outside and use the parks and walking trails in and around Chilliwack. Research shows that Canadians are becoming more and more inactive and overweight. Local data indicate children entering kindergarten are lagging behind when it comes to their physical development. This includes their fine and gross motor skills and is often due to inactivity and increased screen time. Children as young as two years old are being classified as overweight. This can be improved as children are given the opportunity to run, climb, jump and play outside. “We need to get our families out walking, running around, climbing over rocks and logs and playing together,” says Karin Rempel, Chill-

iwack EarlyYears community co-ordinator. “Children need to be active everyday. In Chilliwack we are so lucky to have amazing parks and walking trails. Everyone should be using them. Even in the rain, children love to be outside and, as parents join them, the family bond improves along with their health.” At each of the events, the City of Chilliwack will be sharing information on the parks and walking trails they maintain. With displays and information, they will help everyone find a park or walking trail to use. “The City of Chilliwack is continually upgrading and improving our local parks and walking trails to make them all more usable and safe” says Gord Pederson of the Parks, Recreation and Culture Department. “We live in an beautiful part of the world, let’s enjoy it.” Events are free and along with highlighting the parks and walking trails, there will be a jump house, face painting, parachute games, crafts, displays, activities and prizes and contests. Organized walks will happen every half hour with special “celebrity leaders.” The Meet Me at the Park! event will also have the spray park open and be followed by a Toonie Swim at the Landing Leisure centre from 1 to 3 p.m. ($2 per person) The Meet Me at the River! event will also include a hot dog sale by the 4-H Dog Club. ◗ For more info, contact Karin at 845-2258 or chwkeralyyears@shaw.ca.
OPPORTUNITY, from page 1 public’s attitude is no doubt linked to the growing visibility of adults like Young, who works part-time at the Strathcona elementary school library. And it’s also likely due to the irresistible friendliness of the organization’s clients: walk into the Williams Road building and you’re immediately met by smiling faces and hand shakes. And you’re just as likely to run into Opportunity Society clients at a bowling alley, a senior’s home or a park. The society’s growth over the past 40 years mirrors that of Chilliwack. From less than 10 clients and a single staff member in 1970, Pede now oversees a full-time staff of five who oversee 29 clients. The building has changed too, and will soon get a quiet lounge room for the society’s senior clients; as with the country as a whole, the organization’s clients are growing older and now require a quiet space to relax.
PUBLIC, from page 1 those numbers are projected to more than double to 23,552 people in 13,425 dwellings. The plan looks at different levels of housing density, but also at the commercial core, neighbourhood greenways, parks, streetways and something labelled “community corners” at key crossroads. Of primary focus, and, for some controversial, is the move towards densification of the downtown for the inevitable future growth of Chilliwack. According to city planners, feedback from residents indicated support for density, but also low-density designation to support the Heritage Walk area. The final plan was presented to the public at an open house on April 14 attended by more than 100 people. At that meeting a
Lots has changed Meanwhile staff members like Pede and support worker Heidi Glaister—two of six fulltime staff members— are dealing with the sadder aspects of an aging population. “We’ve got people who are now aging and Down’s Syndrome people tend to age very, very, quickly” said Pede, “So now we’re going through that stage of our life where we’re seeing our friends getting old, and there’s a sadness to that.” Glaister, who has worked at the society for 13 years, added: “Because we’ve been here so more, it’s becoming more and more like family all the time.” It’s that extended family society hopes to reunite to celebrate its 40th anniversary. Volunteers, former clients and their families, and everyone else who has been touched by the society is invited to tea, from 1 to 3 p.m., and an open house May 28 at the Society’s home at 10135 Williams Rd.
Little negativity number of owners of single family homes in the downtown core expressed frustration with the plans to increase density. However, city staff and politicians say they have received very little negative feedback from those residents opposed to the density. According to one downtown resident, the reason there has been so little formal opposition to the city’s plans for downtown at public meetings is because dealing with city council “just seems to get me upset all over again without anything changing.” ◗ Residents will get a chance to comment on June 7 at 7 p.m. as the city considers a text amendment to adopt the DLUDP into the city’s Official Community Plan.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Peter Horin on Thursday, May 20th 2010. Peter was a loving father, grandfather, and friend. Peter was born in Ukraine on August 13th, 1922 and passed away in Chilliwack, BC on May 20th, 2010 at the age of 87. Peter was predeceased by his wife Maria in 1993. Peter is survived by two sons, Steve (Debbie), and Jerry (Theresa), four grandchildren Mark, Michelle, Matt, and Jerrod. The family would like to thank all friends for their support. Also a special thanks to the Doctors, Nurses, and staff on Sub-acute, ICU and NU3 for their wonderful care. Peter was born in 1922 in the village Narayiv, near Berezhany, Ukraine. In the early 1940‘s he spent seven years labouring as a displaced person in Germany. In 1948, he immigrated to England, where he worked in the coal mining industry. It was in Stafford, England where he met and married Maria Kozak. In 1951 their first son Stefan (Steve) was born and in 1954 they then immigrated to Melford, Saskatchewan where they farm laboured for a year. In 1955 they moved to BC and settled in Agassiz where Peter began his life long career in logging. In 1956 their second son Jerry was born. In 1968 they moved to Chilliwack where the family continues to reside. Throughout his life Peter was a dedicated member of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of Canada, and was honored with the Metropolitian’s Hramota in 2007 for his sincere love for the church and his numerous years of service. Peter was a tender, loving man who will be sadly and greatly missed by all those who came to know him and mostly by his family. A Funeral Service will be held a Henderson’s Funeral Home on Friday, May 28th at 11:30 a.m. with a viewing on the preceding evening from 7:00 – 9:00 PM. A luncheon to follow the service at St. Demetrius Church in Chilliwack. Online condolences can be left at www.hendersonsfunerals.com Henderson’s Funeral Home 604.792.1344
