Cold spring putting chill on nursery operations Growers still holding out hope despite numbers that are down 30 to 50 per cent Robert Freeman The Progress The on-again, off-again spring, punctuated by days of cold, winter-like weather, has “brutalized” the multi-million dollar greenhouse industry in Chilliwack. Last month was the most dismal April since 1993 with only four sunny days and a mean temperature of 7.6 degrees C, but dropping as low as half a degree above zero, making it the fifth-coldest on record. The cause is an unusually cool, unstable air mass from the Gulf of Alaska that has become “entrenched” over B.C. as the jet stream stubbornly refuses to move north from a position south of the province. “Essentially, there’s virtually no place in North America, except north Texas and a few Southern states where things are normal,” said Brian Minter, an international speaker, author and broadcaster on gardening. “The industry in the first quarter has been brutalized,” he said, with greenhouse gardening sales down by 35-50 per cent. But April is just the first month of the three he said are “key for survival” of greenhouse operators. Recovery is still quite possible, Minter said, if normal temperatures return. “I’m always an optimist,” he said, “but we need to get a break fairly soon.” Stan Vander Waal, president of Rainbow Greenhouses in Sardis, said he’d like to see that turn-around in temperature come before the May 24 long weekend. He said sales at Rainbow are currently 30 per cent below “where we want to be.” “It’s not great gardening weather, so nobody is too pumped up to get out and buy,” he said. Continued: WEATHER/ p12

Supt. Keith Robinson speaks about the Chilliwack RCMP’s strategic plan during Tuesday’s council meeting at City Hall. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

RCMP chart strategic course Public puts highest priority on battling illegal drugs Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Illegal drugs and street crime can be a vicious circle. The 2011-13 Strategic Plan for the RCMP Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment makes this connection crystal clear: “From the front line perspective, the Detachment understands these areas are often inter-related: those seeking to support a drug habit often resort to property crime.” The just-released three-year

plan, created with input from citizens, city and RCMP staff alike, was presented by RCMP Supt. Keith Robinson at city hall on Tuesday afternoon. “This year the decision was made to commit to a threeyear strategic plan,” Robinson explained to council. The key goals are geared to clamping down on “prolific offenders and crime hotspots” by using intelligence-based policing. Another idea RCMP committed to was enhancing police vis-

ibility — something the public often calls for, particularly in the business area of downtown. Consequently increased foot patrols and bike unit presence are part of the plan. Police say they will continue to target gangs and related drug activity, and “optimize” staffing resources. With clear and attainable goals in place and measurable outcomes for followup, the plan is the result of broad community consultation. “Keep in mind this is not my

particular plan, it’s the community’s plan,” he noted. In fact, two of the key objectives are in response to calls from the public for RCMP to take action on drugs and petty crime. “Residents in the Upper Fraser Valley who participated in the survey cited two main areas they believe the RCMP should be targeting as a priority for policing, dealing with the sale of illegal drugs (80%) and reducing property crime including theft from homes and vehicles (79%).

Strahl holds traditional conservative vote For more election night photos, see page 22 Robert Freeman The Progress Despite some controversy over his nomination and missing most of the all-candidates meetings held during the election campaign, Conservative candidate Mark Strahl held on to nearly all the traditional small-c conservative votes in the Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon riding. “We ran an organized campaign, we took nothing for granted,” Strahl said after delivering his victory speech Monday night. “We’re very happy with the (local) results ... but most happy with the Conservative majority,” he said. “That’s something that a lot of people in this room have worked 15 years for, and to see it happening tonight is just an excellent feeling.” Strahl said the shortened nomination process that saw him elected as the candidate over only one challenger, and his absence at several all-candidates’ meetings, were “primarily” issues raised by his political opponents, not the voters. “For the people in this room, and the voters at the door, that wasn’t their concern,” he said. “Their concern was the economy, crime, health care ... and they addressed those issues at the polls.” Strahl won a whopping 57.2 per cent of the total ballots cast - 28,153 votes - down only slightly from the 29,198 who voted for his father, retiring MP Chuck Strahl, in the 2008 election. A total 49,189 voters out of the 83,713 registered in the riding, cast

valid ballots on Monday. New Democratic candidate Gwen O’Mahony placed a distant second - with 12,665 votes or 25.7 per cent of the total - but party officials noted it’s still an improvement over the 18.7 per cent won by the NDP candidate in 2008. O’Mahony said election night was “bittersweet” for her because, despite losing the local election, the national party had “surged” ahead of the Liberals to become

the Official Opposition in parliament. “It’s really exciting, I’m part of history here tonight,” she said. “A year ago I wouldn’t have imagined it at all.” She said the local results were a reflection of the national trend, but she felt the “personal touch” that she brought to the ChilliwackFraser Canyon campaign helped improve the NDP’s standing here. “I’ve been working at it for over a year, knocking on 10,000 doors,

people like that personal touch,” she said. An advocate for others in private life, O’Mahony said she hopes to remain active in politics working with the NDP, but added it’s “too early to tell” if she will run as a provincial election candidate. A somber Diane Janzen, the local Liberal Party candidate, watched as the election results showed her party suffering its worst defeat at the polls since the ill-fated decision of Prime Minister John Turner to

call a general election in 1984. “It’s a very different Canada than it was yesterday,” she said. The national party, for the first time in Canadian history, had placed third behind the NDP, just as Janzen had done here in Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon. Janzen had less than half the votes won by the New Democrats - 5,317 votes or 10.8 per cent of the total - and nationally the Liberal Party was reduced to 34 seats from the 77 it had before the election. The Conservatives won an additional 24 seats for a total 167, while the NDP added a whopping 66 seats for a total 102, making it the nation’s official opposition. Janzen, who resigned her seat at city council to run for federal election, didn’t rule out a return to municipal politics in November, but she strongly urged others to consider a bid for elected office to serve the community. Green Party candidate Jamie Hoskins placed fourth with 2,701 votes, or 5.5 per cent of the total vote. Western Block Party candidate Clive Edwards and MarxistLeninist candidate Dorothy O’Donnell had 180 votes and 173 votes respectively, or about half a per cent each of the total. rfreeman@theprogress.com

NDP election ‘surge’ bodes well for B.C. party Robert Freeman

“ ”

The Progress The NDP election “surge” that boosted it to official opposition status federally could impact B.C. election results, especially in swing ridings, says Cliff Roulston, head of the provincial party’s Chilliwack riding association. “It’s hard to measure things here in Chilliwack. We’re not a swing riding,” he said. But the growing share of votes won by federal NDP candidate Gwen O’Mahony in this traditionally conservative riding bodes well for the B.C. party, he said. O’Mahony was a distant second to Conservative Mark Strahl, but she still gained about seven per cent more votes than the NDP candidate in the 2008 election. “If we can do the same thing provincially, we’re a player,” Roulston said. Al Ens, president of the federal Chilliwack riding association, didn’t want to predict any direct impact of the surge on the provincial

It’s hard to tell about the impact in B.C., but no doubt there is a feel-good in the party right now ~ Al Ens

election. He noted that most of the surge came from the party’s election victories in Quebec, once the stronghold of the Liberal Party. “It’s hard to tell about the impact in B.C., but no doubt there is a feel-good in the party right now,” he said. And that “new energy” could result in a more active NDP membership, which is critical in an election campaign. “I know we’re looking forward to (the B.C. election) in Chilliwack and ChilliwackHope,” he said, “and I’m sure that’s the same across the province.” Ens said Canadians are now going to see

what the Conservatives will do with a majority government, “and that scares me to a large degree.” But voters will also see “more clearly defined” positions from the NDP opposition as it replaces the Liberals in that role, for the first time in Canadian history. “(NDP Leader Jack) Layton isn’t shy about staking out his positions,” Ens said. Meanwhile, Conservative MP Mark Strahl is jubilant about going to Ottawa for the first time as part of a majority government. “We’re just so thrilled with the Conservative majority,” he said. “Three or four days ago the pollsters were saying it

wasn’t possible.” But with its majority power, Strahl said the party will introduce an omnibus bill in the first 100 days that gets tough on crime and expands mandatory sentencing, “legislation that we’ve been waiting for a long time and now with a majority we can make it happen.” The long gun registry, another long-time target of the Tories, will also finally be shot down. “That’s as good as dead,” Strahl said. Those issues, along with the economy and health care, were the issues voters elected a Conservative government to address, he said. Strahl downplayed the NDP electoral gains, noting instead the “challenge” the party faces to get all those rookie MPs up to speed about parliamentary procedures. He said the sight of a “decimated” Bloc Quebecois gave him a “beautiful feeling,” and the near-death of the federal Liberal Party was its “just reward for forcing this election.” rfreeman@theprogress.com

Rich pensions soothe MPs pain of defeat Jeff Nagel Black Press Nine defeated or retiring MPs from B.C. – including Chilliwack’s Chuck Stahl – are in line to collect a combined $18.6 million in pension benefits now that they’re out of office. Surrey’s two MPs defeated in Monday’s federal election – Conservative Dona Cadman (Surrey North) and Liberal Sukh Dhaliwal (Newton-North Delta) – did not serve the minimum six years to qualify for what the Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) calls the lucrative “fatcat MP pensions.” Instead those two will receive only $79,000 in severance. But taxpayers federation national research director Derek Fildebrandt said the province’s other federal MPs turfed by voters Monday night or who chose to retire “should find a nice soft landing with their ‘golden parachute.’” Conservative MP Gary Lunn, defeated by Green Party leader Elizabeth May in Saanich-Gulf Islands, leaves with $2.2 million in future pension entitlements. Liberal MP Ujjal Dosanjh, defeated in Vancouver South, leaves with a pension worth $830,000. The biggest payout will go to Liberal MP Keith Martin, who retired from his Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca seat with a pension of $3.9 million.

FREE SUMMER CAMP DRAW!

Conservatives Jay Hill (Prince George-Peace River) and Chuck Strahl (Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon), both retired from federal politics with $3.3 million pensions. Tory MP John Cummins (DeltaRichmond East), who retired from federal politics to head the B.C. Conservative party, now gets a pension worth $1.33 million. Conservative retiree Stockwell Day (Okanagan-Coquihalla) gets a package worth $1.67 million, Kootenay-Columbia Tory MP Jim Abbott retires with $1.36 million and the NDP’s Bill Siksay (Burnaby-Douglas) takes away $732,000. All the qualifying B.C. MPs can opt to start collecting their pensions immediately. The taxpayers federation argues the current pension system for federal politicians is too rich, contributing $4 for every dollar contributed by an MP. It favours a dollar-for-dollar matching formula now used in Saskatchewan and Ontario. “The vast majority of Canadians working in the private sector have no private pension plan of their own and those few who do, normally have defined-contribution, RRSP-style plans,” Fildebrandt said. “Most Canadians have to save for their retirements the old-fashion way. MPs by contrast are guaranteed a steady payout regardless of how investments and the market perform.”

Chilliwack okays street buskers Jennifer Feinberg The Progress City-approved buskers are coming to Chilliwack. A pilot program for street entertainers was approved for 2011 by council on Tuesday after a presentation by Carolyn Marleau, manager of leisure development. Three busking locations have been selected: under the clock tower at Five Corners, Salish Park and Central Community Park. The benefits include “an increase in foot traffic” to areas where artists will be performing, Marleau said after the meeting. It’s following the planning principle that attracting a positive activity to an urban space, such as family-friendly performance, will tend to “drive out” the more negative behaviours found in under-utilized or low traffic areas.

RCMP strategic plan ‘bold’ RCMP from Front When those surveyed were asked to say which of the two should have the absolute highest priority, illegal drugs took the lead with 53% rating it very high priority. Overall, three themes were dominant: safer communities, optimizing resources and staff support. The fact that “measurable outcomes” are central to the

Robinson said. He said they’re working on a process where the members call in the data and it’s entered later. “Hopefully that reduces the time frame.” Coun. Chuck Stam called the strategic plan “a bold” document, which avoids the “airy fairy” traps by focusing on priorities, action and outcomes. “You are to be congratulated,” he said.

Buskers will have to be pre-approved by a panel and pay about $40 for the privilege of entertaining the masses for almost fourhour sessions at a time. Buskers can perform from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Marleau distinguished between buskers and panhandlers during her presentation, stating that it will be acceptable for buskers to accept donations, but they must not actively solicit the money tossed into a hat or instrument case. The other difference is that buskers must undergo an application process, with an audition under five minutes, before being approved by a review panel. Staff research has shown that similar street busking programs have been successful in B.C. everywhere from Granville Island, New West, Nanaimo, Kelowna and Victoria, as well as in BC Transit locations like Sky Trains stations.

News

Police probe death of toddler in Hope fire Robert Freeman The Progress The RCMP’s serious crime unit is looking into the death of an 18-month old baby during a house fire in Hope early Thursday morning. RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said police investigators are “assisting” the BC Coroner’s office to determine if there are any criminal aspects to the 1:30 a.m. fire at 19988 Beacon Road. Hollingsworth would not comment on a report that the baby was alone at the time of the fire. “The cause of death of the toddler and the cause of the fire are yet to be determined,” she said in a news release. The release also states that after the fire was extinguished, “a search of the residence confirmed that an 18-month old toddler had perished.”

Hope firefighters continue to put out hotspots, as police and the coroner continue their investigation into the Silver Creek house fire that claimed the life of a young child. SIMONE ROLPH/ BLACK PRESS

Firefighters arrived at the home to find the entire upper floor engulfed in flames. Hope Fire Chief Tom DeSorcy told the Hope Standard that one child who was reported trapped inside the home was accounted for, but the blaze prevented firefighters from getting to the reported location of

a second child. He said once the flames were brought under control, firefighters entered the upper floor of the house and “located the child, I believe, in a crib.” The investigations by police and coroners continue.

R AESIDE

Election lessons learned The federal election results demonstrated three things. One is that this election, despite many predictions to the contrary at its start, energized many voters. Voter turnout was up, and interest was particularly high in the last two weeks of the campaign. The second thing it clearly showed is that most Canadians see national issues from one of two major perspectives — the less government/ lower taxes/law and order perspective of the Conservatives, or the more activist government/expanding programs/’soak the rich’ perspective of the NDP. The Liberals, in trying to strike a balance between the two perspectives, pleased neither side and have become much less relevant in the national debate, as witnessed by their poor third-place showing. They will be less of a force in the next Parliament and leader Michael Ignatieff is finished. He lost his seat and has resigned. The third and most positive thing is the rejection of the Bloc Quebecois by the vast majority of Quebeckers, relegating the party to four seats. For the first time since 1988, most MPs elected in Quebec support their province being part of Canada. This is an enormously positive step forward. Prime Minister Stephen Harper is now in power with a comfortable majority. He pledged on Monday night to work with other parties and govern for all Canadians. That pledge will be tested many times in coming months. He needs to show the 60 per cent of voters who didn’t vote Conservative some respect. NDP leader Jack Layton, who ran a positive and upbeat campaign, is now the leader of the opposition. As such, he speaks with considerably more clout. In articulating his vision of Canada, Layton will have to be more realistic about how the economy works, and how jobs are created. However, his strong emphasis on preserving important social programs like health care and ensuring that average families get decent tax breaks is needed, at a time when many people are struggling. The people of Canada, from many disparate regions of the country, have spoken. They want Parliament to get down to business, without any unnecessary drama or an election for at least four years. ~ Black Press

Town halls: Twitter for normal people VICTORIA – These days the media never shut up about Facebook and Twitter and “viral videos.” In this year’s political madhouse, no candidate can be caught without a social media presence. So it surprises me that the breakout technology for public engagement turns out to be huge conference calls on the old landline telephone. “Tele-town halls” were first deployed here by B.C. Liberal leadership candidate George Abbott. He got such big participation that Kevin Falcon’s deeppocketed campaign quickly followed suit. Premier Christy Clark is doing one Wednesday evening for her Vancouver byelection run. Falcon, the reluctant finance minister, is using the same method to ask for options on the harmonized sales tax.

hockey games over the next week, folks having dinner will be getting calls with a recorded message inviting them to tell him what he should do with the HST. Falcon admitted to some trepidation before extending such an offer to the general public. What he got at his first one in Surrey Tom was 27,000 people FLETCHER who stayed on the line for an average of 16 minutes, hundreds who queued up to ask questions, and 90 minutes of surprisingly civil discussion with real people. I listened in to the first one hosted by Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom, where 5,900 residents of the Peace River region stuck around for an average 21

minutes to hear why he quit the B.C. Liberals over the HST, and then went back. That region and East Kootenay will be the toughest sell for the B.C. government’s mail-in referendum in June. There were annoyed people. One man called it the “ripoff tax” that applies to groceries. Lekstrom politely noted that basic groceries are exempt from GST and HST. A farmer said it’s on top of the carbon tax, which falls harder on people who put up with cold weather and long driving distances. Another said cross-border shopping to Alberta has become even more popular. It was refreshing to hear real people describe their situations and concerns. Most had apparently spent little time poring over media accounts of the HST, but unlike the stale and spin-heavy debate that resumed in the B.C.

legislature last week, they were direct, polite and willing to listen. Falcon reported a similar experience after 90 minutes of questions in Surrey. Suggestions included dropping the HST by a point (estimated cost $850 million) and offering more exemptions, on things like gym memberships or bike helmets. Hundreds of people didn’t get to ask their questions, partly because the politicians took up too much time with introductions and smooth talk like “that’s a great question!” The patient callers were asked to leave messages for follow-up. I live-blogged the event on Twitter, including a brief debate with former NDP MLA David Schreck about the fairness of these town halls. Schreck said there should be equal time for a critic of the HST, otherwise it’s

just government propaganda. Judging by the NDP’s latest line of questioning, town hall participants aren’t missing much. Their big point in the legislature was that if the HST is rejected, low-income people would still get the GST credit. Yes, and the sun will continue to rise, but poor people will still lose a significant redistribution of income. You’ll hear a lot about the HST in the next few weeks, with government and business advertising the merits of keeping it, and Bill Vander Zalm’s FightHST organization spending $250,000 of public money to continue its campaign of fear and ignorance. You could do worse than participating in one of these telephone town halls. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews. com. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Sutton Group Showplace Realty announces… We are here!!!

Didn’t vote? Then don’t complain Shame on you who did not vote. As taxpayers, as we all are, it is our duty to vote. Why not have a say on how our money is spent. Reason’s for not voting: “things won’t change,” “It doesn’t make a difference,” “I didn’t have time,” “I hated waiting in line,” “I don’t agree with all the inhouse fight-

ing by our politicians.” Really, I have heard it all! As adults we make choices and we pay for our choices. Elected officials get in because of their name. How bad is that? So now when you have to pay extra taxes for whatever or benefits are taken away or money is spent on something you don’t

agree with you cannot complain because you are guilty of not voting. Older people, young people, middle age people what is wrong with you wake up. By the way, we will be having another election coming up listen to issues and open your eyes, vote, vote! A Pomerleau

Why do we not have kidney machines at our hospital? Most of the people going into Abbotsford are from Chilliwack and towns east of here. We need a facility here and it is an urgent situation. Many of these people are driving to Abbotsford and back, it is very stressful for them as they are not young anymore. What’s up with Chilliwack’s new emergency?

Protesters says their tactics get results RE: Protest fails to further discussion, Progress letters, April 27. We are sorry that these images hurt (the letter writer) so deeply. We are however also comforted by your understanding of the injustice of abortion, regardless of whether or not you agree with our method of protest. The graphic images which we show the public are regularly met with confusion, opposition and anger, which has led us to pose the question why. Why are people angered by our images? Is it because we bring to the surface an already existing tension? Is it because we expose abortion for what it really is: the brutal disembowelment, dismemberment, and decapitation of a fellow human being? We’re sorry that these images caused you and your loved ones pain, but we assure you that we too are deeply disturbed by what they are depicting, and it pains us greatly to take such drastic measures in order to show the injustice. We wish it was possible for us to show the reality of abortion in a positive way, but there is absolutely nothing positive about the procedure. Society has dehu-

manized and belittled the unborn child in a manner so destructive, it warrants our immediate interference. Abortion is legal in Canada and currently the status quo shows no sign of changing. If these images are upsetting, we need to ask ourselves, is it worse that we are made uncomfortable by such a gory depiction of human slaughter or is it worse that this happens legally behind closed doors over 100,000 times every year in our great country? You acknowledge in your letter that the pictures we use depict dead children, and it was our hope that after seeing these images, Chilliwack residents would be angered by the horror of abortion and inspired to get involved in bringing this injustice to an end. We have seen first hand the effectiveness of our approach, after a young woman who had scheduled an abortion last summer, decided not to go through with the procedure upon seeing our graphic images on the street– and that’s only one of the many stories that prove the literally live saving power of the pictures. This young woman gave birth to a healthy baby boy

last week. Graphic images are routinely used to communicate the reality of injustices and to compel people of good will to intervene: television stations show footage of bombed civilians in war-torn countries; campaigns against starvation show images of malnourished children with distended stomachs living in deplorable conditions; the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., displays pictures of the bodies of Jews killed during World War II. Far from violating human dignity or reducing human beings to things, such graphic imagery compels people with functioning consciences to funnel their money, their time, and their talent towards ending these crises. We’re sorry you disagree with our method, but greatly respect and are grateful that you took the time to share your thoughts on such a controversial topic.

Sutton Group Showplace Realty Ltd. takes a leading role in the Chilliwack Real Estate Industry, developing and implementing innovative strategies for Real Estate clients. Now proudly announces the grand opening of the new location at the Sutton Downtown Business Centre at 9240 Young Road, Downtown Chilliwack. Sutton Group Showplace Realty Ltd., a leading Real Estate Brokerage, officially unveiled their new Sutton Downtown Business Centre on Saturday April 30. “More than a building, it is a place of total Real Estate Commerce for our clients,” said Company owner Kelly Johnston. “We are here. Let’s get down to business. Our building is designed to be your one stop shop for all your Real Estate and property needs.” The Sutton Downtown Business Centre is just under 15,000 sq.ft. The project utilized only local business, and recycled existing material to be as conscious as possible not to leave a footprint in the environment. Choosing the Downtown area was key, as it is one of the goals to be a driving force in the rejuvenation of the downtown core. Continuously expanding with over forty (40) Realtors and growing, the new building will be a host to many new Realtor events. When entering the building, clients can’t help but be filled with a sense of confidence in choosing Sutton Group Showplace Realty Ltd. for their needs. Not just Real Estate marketing alone any further, now a home to Drafting and Design, Mortgage Services, Home Insurance Services, Development Consulting, with more to come, including coffee shop with outdoor patio, and possibly an insurance company to utilize the drive-

through lane. “We are very fortunate to have such a visionary as Mr. Johnston at the helm of our ship guiding us and creating such an incredible home for Sutton Realtors to do business,” said Mike DellaFortuna, Sutton Realtor, “The cornerstone of Mr. Johnston’s philosophy is “Raise As You Climb”, meaning there is no personal growth if you do not share and help others to achieve with you.” That mantra is the explanation for the incredible transformation of Sutton Group Showplace Realty Ltd. into the most innovative Brokerage in Chilliwack, in only 4 short years. The Sutton Downtown Business Centre (SDBC) has welcomed Community Futures to the facility; a company whose mandate is to help the start up of small business, develop business plans, goal setting, and help with banking proposals and business grant money. The SDBC has lease space still available and will be screening possible candidates for these spaces throughout the remainder of this year. The idea for the SDBC is to also host monthly public seminars on topics ranging from Home buying tips to ﬁnancing or dream building. Look for further updates a n d events to roll out soon.

I was sickened this morning seeing this: I was coming down Cheam Ave. toward Young St. At first I thought, isn’t that cute that male duck is trying to use the crosswalk, until I turned on to Young and noticed why he was trying so hard to get out there. The female had been run over. Now I know it is hard to stop and let a duck cross when you are in a hurry to get to work or school, but come on. It only takes a minute and they are gone out of your way. Now this duck would have kept trying to get to her so I picked her up and moved her off the road. It was heart wrenching to see the male duck hovered over her trying to get her up. This was something that a moment would have spared her life. Please be more cautious when driving this time of year.

Sluggish home sales also blamed on cool weather WEATHER from Front The company can get by “holding back” plants in the greenhouse until good gardening weather returns and buyers are tempted outside, but at a certain point plants are “geared” to be in the ground and growing, he said. The unseasonal weather has mostly affected greenhouses in the Lower Mainland, and sales are “pretty good” elsewhere in B.C., Vander Waal said.

But they’re not the only industry feeling the chill. Local house sales are also off – only 187 homes were sold last month compared to 233 in the same month last year, the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board reported, and it’s blaming the cold weather and the federal election. Minter said weather conditions last year were also pretty bad for greenhouses, but admitted this is the worst he’s seen it in his lifetime. However, it’s the plants, not

the gardeners, that are sensitive to low temperatures, he said. He described B.C. gardeners as a hardy bunch who will tend their plants in rain or shine. But the plants themselves must have warmer temperatures to germinate, he said. Minter also reminded gardeners about the adage that planting late resulted in faster-growing plants. “There’s nothing we can do about (the weather),” he said. “We just have to be patient.”

How to have a healthier community Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Kelly after... I joined SureSlim because I wanted to lose weight but I had no idea how much it would improve my overall health. I had been on blood pressure medication for years and my doctor was ready to put me on cholesterol lowering medication soon too. Once I had lost about 40 lbs, my doctor took me off the blood pressure medication. My cholesterol is now where it should be and overall I feel great! I have increased energy and I love the way I look. I love SureSlim because thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no gimmicks.

B.C. wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appeal class size ruling Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The B.C. government will work with the B.C. Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation rather than continue a court battle over control of class size and special needs support in public schools, Education Minister George Abbott said Thursday. The government has been studying a ruling two weeks ago from the B.C. Supreme Court, which said the government infringed on teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; constitutional right to bargain with its 2002 legislation that removed class size and special needs support levels from the union contract. Abbott said the governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s legal advice was not to appeal the ruling, because of a landmark 2007 decision by the Supreme Court of Canada that struck down similar legislation altering health care support workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; union contracts. In the health care case, Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s highest court extended the constitutional right to freedom of association to include collective bargaining for the first time. In the school case, Justice Susan Griffin of the B.C. Supreme Court gave the B.C. government a year to work out an alternative to the 2002 legislation. The BCTF has filed thousands of union grievances over class sizes and the number of students with special needs in classrooms around the province, as well as pursuing the issue in court. Abbott said he called BCTF president Susan Lambert and B.C. School Trustees Association president Michael McEvoy to tell them he wants to see a negotiated solution. But Abbott acknowledged that the government could end up legislating new rules if negotiations donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t produce a deal.

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Local singer Inez Jasper was unceremoniously taken off the air recently from a college radio station in Wyoming. Since returning home to Chilliwack, the unfortunate experience has underlined for her some of the key political differences between Canada and the U.S. The Juno-nominated aboriginal artist and community nurse was invited by the Windriver Unity Council last month to perform a concert and lead a workshop at a youth conference in Riverton, Wyoming. Inez was on the air with aboriginal comedian Drew Lacapa, chatting to a local deejay about everything from gun laws, to “Indian solidarity” in Canada on National Aboriginal Day. “I wasn’t even trying to be radical,” recalled the singer, who goes by the stage name Inez. “It was pretty chill.” At one point they all took a little break and Inez headed to the ladies’ room. When she returned, she was told bluntly the interview was over. The radio station director had called into the DJ booth and put the official kibosh on the whole discussion. “I said, ‘You’re joking!’ but everyone looked quite solemn and said they weren’t,” said Jasper. “I said, ‘Yeah, right.’” Shocked by the full-on censorship, initially she felt quite defeated by the whole experience. “We were very put out at first,” she remembered. Now she’s chocking it up to

the subtle differences between the melting pot nature of the U.S. versus the cultural mosaic that Canada prides itself on being. She had mentioned how amazing the APTN channel and the National Aboriginal Day phenomenon had been for her musical career. “It provided me with the opportunity to travel and perform and to celebrate Aboriginal Day. APTN has televised these big show and it’s really helped to spread my music,” she said. “The really cool thing is that elders call it ‘Indian Solidarity Day.’ That’s what I talked about.” She remembers Lacapa mentioning it would be nice if there was a similar day relevant to the Mexican people of the Southwest, or if they could come up to Canada to

speech. “Sometimes we just have to agree to disagree,” she said. “I have thought long and hard about this. I thought I was being careful. I’m not a radical person, and I guess we have to respect people’s readiness for change.” But if she was invited back to Riverton, she would go in a heartbeat. “If we all agreed on everything, what a boring life we’d be leading.” In the end, she’s putting a positive spin on things. “I’ve come to the conclusion this was really a good lesson on how we need to create more space for discussion and ideas that may be different or foreign to us, and to talk about how to move forward when we disagree.”

see National Aboriginal Day. Inez also touched on the always-tricky topic of gun laws, and the ability of U.S. citizens to carry a concealed weapon. “I said to me that sounds crazy, coming from Canada, and how that was different from what I’m used to,” she recalled. That’s all it took. And now, in the wake of what happened, she now realizes that the “very conservative” values of the state must have come into play. Someone must have felt threatened by what was said on the radio show. “I was trying to reflect on how we could express our differences. I wasn’t trying to push my ideas on anyone.” She was struck by how in Canada, there still exists the perception of a forum for free

Vedder elementary is growing young environmentalists. The elementary school won the inaugural Chilliwack Green Games, a district-wide competition encouraging staff and students to save the environment by changing their behaviours. From Jan. 4 to March 31, schools throughout the district participated in the Chilliwack Green Games. The school that reduced its carbon footprint the most won. Vedder students did not take the challenge lightly. Senior students led by example, mentoring the younger ones; they organized a lights-out patrol; and even wrote a song, which was sung on the PA system to remind their peers to shut off lights, turn off computer monitors and other electronics when not in use. In one month, Vedder saved 1,570 kilowatts an hour of energy,

Unsworth elementary was also awarded the same field trip for 30 students to honour its ongoing, long-term commitment to energy conservation. Over the last two years, Unsworth significant decreased its energy use by enacting simple energy conscious changes like shutting off computer monitors when not in use, unnecessary lights, and decreasing photocopier and printer use. By doing so, the school is saving the district between $180 and $250 a month in energy costs. Other schools that participated included AD Rundle middle school, Bernard elementary, Promontory elementary and Evans elementary.

which amounted to a cost savings of $192.82. If applied across the district, that would equal a yearly savings of more than $76,000. “It’s amazing how such a small amount can add up so quickly,” said George Pede, Chilliwack school district energy manager. For Vedder elementary, it was about buying into the program. “The big thing for us is that everybody is on board with this,” said principal Denise Andrew. “The kids are actually really excited about this, you can feel a spirit in the school.” As the winning school, 30 Vedder elementary students will receive an all-expenses paid field trip to the Eye of the Wind, B.C.’s largest energy-producing wind turbine on Grouse Mountain.

Helping young people recognize the signs of potential suicide T he last Perspectives article focused on the community response model to youth suicide prevention where family doctors and school staff recognize and help a young person who is exhibiting warning signs of suicidality. Another preventative measure is the work of community mental health workers to help educate and equip youth as front-line defenses in suicide prevention in our high schools. Adolescence is a time where peer relationships gain a lot of importance, and many of young peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s interactions are with other youth. Additionally, research indicates that youth often speak to other

youth when they are feeling suicidal. This makes the introduction of the Ask Assess Act intervention model with our stuMarie dents so imporAMOS tant. There are many adults and professionals who are trained to intervene, but can only do so when they become aware of suicidal concerns. As noted in the last column, youth suicide is the second leading cause of death in adolescence (car accidents are number one). There is also a connection between

mental health concerns (anxiety, depression, psychosis, etc.) and suicidality, so the community mental health workers are helping to promote overall mental wellness in youth as well as suicide prevention. A function of this program is to help young people recognize suicidal warning signs in others, as well as the knowledge of where to receive help. Familiarizing young people with the Ask, Assess, Act model (www.bced.gov.bc.ca/ specialed/docs/suicide.pdf) gives them the tools to recognize which of their peers are distressed, and to direct them to supports. The goal is not to have young people taking responsibility

for their peers, but to become part of a network of support that includes knowledge of where to direct their peers for help. To this end, community mental health worker Nicole Leuthart has been working with a group of students at Sardis Secondary who decided to create an educational presentation around suicide warning signs and information on how to get themselves or others help. At Chilliwack Secondary, Jessie Kergan is working with a group of students who created an educational presentation, as well as a questionnaire for students on their mental health needs. The high school students are also presenting to middle school students about mental health and wellness. There are plans to promote National Mental Health Awareness week (May 2nd to 6th) and the students would like to establish a Peer Helping program within the school. If you are thinking about harming yourself, or are worried about someone you know, please access the local Emergency Room, or 1-800-SUICIDE for immediate assistance. Feel free to call 1-800-Suicide even if you are just worried that someone you know may hurt her or himself. Suicide is a very permanent response to any problem and there are supports and help out there. Being a good friend does not mean keeping secrets when someone could get hurt. The website youthinbc.com has some terrific resources around a variety of topics aimed at young people.

JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

A little off the top with barber Gerry ten-Bohmer B

arbering is an ancient and noble profession that dates back thousands of years. In the earlier years of European civilization, aside from shaving and haircutting, barbers also performed surgery, herbal medicine and dentistry. The traditional red and white striped barber pole originated during this time, resulting from the clean white bandages and the blood-soaked, used bandages that often hung outside a barber’s door. Eventually, their roles changed and evolved, creating numerous and different opportunities for them. Some still cut hair in a shop with the traditional barber pole while others are now working in high-end salons. The other day, as we were headed downtown, my husband decided to get a hair cut, so we pulled into Gerry’s shop. When we entered, he had someone in the chair while another customer was reading the paper. So, we waited. We were met with a warm smile, a friendly greeting and soon, the banter began. If nothing else, it was a rather amusing way to kill time. Then, it was my husband’s turn and with my usual pen and paper in hand, I resolved to do another interview. Gerry ten-Bohmer is of Dutch decent and his family had a true emigrant spirit. Just after the Second World War, his father left Holland and moved to Australia. His paternal grandparents soon followed. After a time, his father returned to Holland, where he met and married

his mother. Shortly after their marriage, the young couple left Holland and settled in a suburb of Perth, Australia. Four years after that, they moved to Canada, where sons John and Gerry were born. “Dad had to drive mom in a snowstorm, just to get her to the hospital on time, when I was born,” he chuckled. The boys enjoyed their outdoor adventures. Gerry was especially endeared to fishing and raising rabbits. “I had 12 rabbits and it Ana was my hobby,” MACEDO he reflected. The family lived in New Westminster for a time and eventually moved to Richmond, Ladner and Chilliwack, before deciding to leave for Australia. “I don’t recall much about Australia except that there were a lot of scorpions where we lived. I also remember falling down quite a bit when I played soccer,” he laughed. After six months in the Land Down Under, they headed back to Canada and settled in Maple Ridge, eventually moving out to Chilliwack. Gerry had aspirations of becoming a baker, admitting that upon reflection, he doesn’t know why he was leaning towards that career at the time. “I guess I just enjoyed the smell,” he chuckled. After graduation, his career path was unclear. “My brother had gone

to BCIT to become a barber and he was having fun with it. I decided to follow suit so I guess that I credit my brother with helping me decide,” he said. After graduating from BCIT, Gerry began cutting, trimming, shaving and shampooing heads. For the next three years, he worked for other barbers. It was during this time that he began to wonder if he might want to try something different. “I started helping with the music at the Chiefs games, I co-hosted a few local telethons and finally decided to pursue broadcasting through Columbia Academy of Radio, Television and Recording Arts,” he explained. Shortly after he received his broadcasting diploma, he came to a fork in the road. “I was met with a major decision. I had to choose between a radio career and opening up my own shop.” His barbering career won out and Gerry bought A Cut Ahead in the Cascade Centre, across from the library. “I remember the exact day. I bought the business on November 28, 1992 and as I look back, it’s something that I haven’t regretted.” “You must be a part-time psychologist too,” I quickly added. He laughed, recognizing a shade of truth in that statement. “We do discuss all kinds of things here at the shop from the weather to politics, family problems and relationship difficulties to money issues and even fishing. I do a lot of listening and sometimes I will offer what I perceive to be some solutions. But mainly, I just listen,” he ended.

other’s Day is almost here, and many of us are still looking for some inspiration. Well, let me make a few suggestions. There’s scientific proof now that flowers and plants not only make people happy but they are also therapeutic. They make our living spaces a lot more enjoyable as well. The type of plant you give, however, should adapt to Mom’s Brian lifestyle. If she is away MINTER a great deal, small tropicals or hanging baskets certainly are not the answer. I would suggest something like an outdoor garden. Larger patio tubs can go a long while between waterings and you know, the addition of a small tree can make quite a difference to a patio. Containers about the size of a half barrel, such as large 50cm cedar tubs or terracotta pots, can make an attractive permanent garden. By using lightweight soil mixes, the weight problem can be minimized. If you add casters to the bottom of the pots, they can be easily moved if necessary, or if you just want to change the perspective. The types of trees that can be used as focal points in the containers are really unlimited, but some of my favourites are the new Japanese willow ‘Hakara Nishiki’ with its variegated white and pink foliage, contorted red filberts, robinia ‘Twisty Baby’ or the many weeping Japanese maples. These trees change with each season and also leave room for colourful annuals, perennials, bulbs and even herbs to make a wonderful showing all year round. Hanging baskets and colourful patio tubs are a nice gift too, but make sure they are large enough that they do not require daily attention. There are so many being mass produced today, try to

find something unique and that has a personal touch. The containers need to be a minimum of 16-18 inches across and deep to keep the maintenance down. If you are giving a gift of fuchsias or begonias, make sure they are going to a shady location. Nothing is more disheartening than receiving a gift that you know will have to struggle to survive. Large herb gardens are colourful and a delightful culinary surprise. Why not put together a basic containerized vegetable garden and include the latest compact growing vegetables like ‘Tumbler’ tomatoes, everbearing strawberries, a host of new colourful leaf lettuce varieties and everbearing ‘Rainbow’ swiss chard. Planting a tree for special occasions is not only a nice commemorative gesture, but is also a good environmental plan. This is especially true in urban areas. There are many kinds of trees that are well suited to small gardens, but I have a few suggestions, such as Japanese maples, Japanese snowbells, beautiful pink dog-

woods, tree form magnolias, and the weeping katsura tree. Flowering trees that attract birds or butterflies to the yard are wonderful. Buddleias (butterfly bush), especially the new Proven Winners dwarf variety, ‘Lo & Behold’, really do attract all kinds of beautiful butterflies. The fastgrowing new orange flowered vine called Campsis ‘Indian Summer’ attracts hummingbirds. Flowering crabapples, like the new disease free ‘Red Jewel’ and the red flowered and yellow fruited ‘Prairie Fire’ have pleasing fall fruits which attract birds. The Korean or kousa dogwood not only has gorgeous blossoms and great fall colour, but also has edible seed pods. There are all kinds of fall berried plants like weeping cotoneasters, espalliered pyracanthas and lingonberries that look great in the landscape by providing winter colour and supplying food for birds as well. Moms enjoy fragrance, and there are all kinds of choices. From the new Proven Winners compact ‘Bloomerang’ lilac that blooms

now and again in fall to the fragrant snowball shrub (Viburnum carcephalum), and from elegant Oriental lilies to old-fashioned English roses, there is much from which to choose. Perennial plants are always appreciated, and peonies, old fashioned hardy orchids (bletilla), ruffled poppies and lavenders are among the most cherished. Water on the patio is now a huge trend. Containers that hold water are quite magnificent filled with floating water hyacinths, water lilies and a myriad of colourful flowering water plants. All of these suggestions are gifts that will last and for the most part, grow in beauty each year. You might even plant Mom’s gift for her - in the right location of course! Be a little creative this year. It is not only the flowers and plants but also the innovative ways in which they can be used and enjoyed, either inside or out that makes the difference. Add your own special touch, and it will mean a great deal more.

City hall urges families to be prepared Here are three simple steps to better prepare your family to face a range of emergencies: • Know the risks – Although the consequences of disasters can be similar, knowing the risks specific to our community and our region (like what to do in the case of floods, earthquakes, wind storms, and technological or environmental accidents such as chemical spills and power failures) can help us better prepare. • Make a plan – Every Canadian household needs an emergency plan. It will help you and your family know what to do if disaster strikes. We should all

■ Emergency Preparedness Week

While the City of Chilliwack has emergency plans in place for every possible emergency or natural disaster situation in Chilliwack, it is vital for each family to have an emergency plan as well. This week is Emergency Preparedness Week and if you haven’t yet, there is no better time to start planning for your family’s safety. Preparing for an emergency is important and something the whole family can do. By taking a few simple steps, you can become better prepared to face a range of emergencies and minimize the impact on yourselves and your families.

We will all need some basic supplies (items such as three day supply of water, non-perishable food, a flashlight, batteries, battery powered or wind up radio, first aid kit, pocket knife, prescriptions, extra set of keys and money, and copies of important documents.)

The ups and downs of self-guided holidays Judi Less Meridian Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Group On a self-guided holiday, whether on foot or bicycle, every day will be an adventure. You will be challenged. There is a very good chance you will get lost. You will have your independence, but your nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s accom-

One thing you can count on, on a self-guided trip: at some point, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll get lost. Here, cyclists confer over a map. JUDI LEES/MERIDIAN WRITERSâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; GROUP

ics, were stunned. Thankfully we did not have a flat tire on our seven days of cycling, however, we did have some other issues that required calls to Christophe: a bike lock that wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open, for example. He responded, but in a very laissez-faire manner. Needless to say, we were less than impressed. When our hosts, Detours in France, asked us for feedback, we let them know. When they heard that Christophe, a contract person, was less than efficient, they got someone else to service their Loire Valley clients. So, no matter how excellent the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;and I give Detours a glowing reportâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;you may

encounter a negligent person. Although the maps and directions provided on self-guided trips are usually detailed, trust me, you will lose your way, especially when travelling in groups. On Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Coast-to-Coast Walkâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;304 grueling kilometresâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;our group of eight constantly disagreed and sometimes arrived into tiny villages from four different directions! A marker in a farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field or a cairn in a wood may seem straightforward, but everyone deciphers directions differently. What Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned is, when travelling with a group, to take turns putting one person in charge. They determine which way to go and if they

lead you wrong, they buy the brew in the pub that evening. Another lesson: utilize the locals. When walking the hilltop villages of Tuscany we hailed grape pickers, stopped farmers driving tractors and knocked on doors to ensure we were on the right track to tiny places like Chiusure (not mentioned in any guidebook). Our many conversations only added to the allure of the countryside. This trip was with RandonnĂŠe, a Vancouver-based company that was especially good at providing wonderfully varied accommodation: a grand 16th-century manor one night, a lovely farmhouse the next.

One day in Ireland, cycling on my own, I showed a man walking his dog my map. He studied it and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be following this, lass, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be lost!â&#x20AC;? I laughed and we chatted. I was indeed lost, but what a pleasure: to pedal country lanes, to talk to the people you meet and eventually to find your own way.

Discover great B.C. driving holidays The summer driving and holiday season is almost here and the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts has enhanced online functionality on the HelloBC website by increasing the interactive options for maps to help visitors enjoy some of British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most spectacular driving routes. There is strong interest in driving holidays among tourists considering vacationing in British Columbia. Fully 42 per cent of all inquiries to HelloBC regarding B.C. holidays indicated an interest in driving vacations. Using the interactive maps - which include descriptions of route highlights, photos and

videos - tourists are able to get an overview of many of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most scenic driving routes. They are able to explore each route in detail and the interactive maps feature turn-by-turn driving instruction that can be printed or downloaded. Another valuable tool for driving holiday travellers is the Near Me BC iPhone application introduced last year on HelloBC. The application can determine a visitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location and present the attractions, hotels and restaurants that are nearby. Vital details - such as description, map, telephone number, address - are all available for more than 4,000 tourism businesses throughout the

province. Over 20,000 users have downloaded the application since its launch. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The new features on the HelloBC website will help get an increasing number of tourists travelling beyond the major cities and throughout British Columbia,â&#x20AC;? said Stuart McLaughlin, chair of the Ministerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Council on Tourism and president of Grouse Mountain Resorts. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They offer exciting new ways to discover more of the amazing tourism opportunities our province has to offer.â&#x20AC;?

Progress Jennifer

Feinberg 604.702.5573 • jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Comedian Derek Edwards brings his ‘Blunderful Life Tour’ to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre May 13.

Inspired by a sense of the ridiculous Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Comedian Derek Edward describes himself as the kind of guy that never really planned ahead. That’s the essences of his new show, My Blunderful Life Tour, as it brings the yukster back to the Fraser Valley next Friday night. He’s been on TV shows like Comedy Hits the Road, Comedy Now, Comics, which earned him a Gemini nom for best comedy. He also guest-starred on the Red Green Show, and was the only Canadian to win the prestigious Invitational Comedy Competition in Vail, Colorado. Edwards is back on tour in B.C. after a couple years, and he’s still comically introspective and more than willing to share his quirky observations. Here’s how the recent Q&A went between The Progress and Derek

Edwards. Tell me about your new show, My Blunderful Life Tour I came up with it while on tour in Northern Ontario. My manager said people will think it’s a Christmas thing. But it’s really a reference to the 30 or 40 jobs I had before getting into this career. I’d go from job to job, and move on to the next one and wonder how long I’d be able hold onto that one for. The thing is I never saw the race coming. Ya know, when the starter gun goes off when you’re about 16? And it’s off you go. ‘Be the best you you can be.’ Well I never heard that voice in my head. How do you keep yourself busy when not on the road? I’ll be taking some time off after the tour to do some writing. Be more freewheeling. It’s great having no security — there’s a kind of freedom to being screwed. No it’s kinda cool. I have some buddies in

the biz and they’re a good sounding board. It’s a wonderful sideline, and later seeing the work visualized on TV or hearing it on radio. What else are you up to? Someone gave me a pilot TV show, five or six episodes. It’s about a postal worker guy, and it looks well done. One of them used to write for Kids in the Hall. I’d be playing a restless wandering wanker. That’s sweet, they thought of me. Your promo says your comedic sense was forged in the frosty Canadian North, is that a reference to Timmins, Ontario? Yes, in fact I just did a show in my hometown, that’s the mining town of Timmins. It’s also the hometown of Shania Twain. But I pop back in more often than she does. I don’t have a museum. Did you know you can drop by and visit Shania’s museum and see her high school clothes?

What’s bugging you lately or on this part of the tour? I’m bummed I won’t be able to do any of my election stuff for the show. By the time I get there, the whole thing will be over. I had this bit about voting being like rolling up the rim. It’s a shame. I had some great slags. Maybe I can weasel in a few and people won’t say who cares. Still doing just for Laughs? Yes, I did the festival last year, with ‘luminaries’ like Pamela Sue Anderson. The headline in the Gazette the next day was, ‘Blond bomb.’ I liked seeing the three stars from the Trailer Park Boys. I was like, ‘Is that Ricky?’ And Bubbles was trying to work some skirt. So weird to see that touch of lunacy. They’re the nicest guys and Ricky is really smart. That’s the weird power of TV. Tom Arnold was the worst host. It’s one thing if they suck, another if they won’t get off

the stage. I don’t want to seem whiny but... What’s your take on coming to the West Coast? It’s a different atmosphere in some of the places I’ve been along the coast of Vancouver Island. People just sort of meander, which is really different because everyone in Toronto is on their way somewhere and they’re already late. You get some really relaxed people in B.C. If I could ever get that comfortable in life. Wow. Smell the flowers, or let someone cross the street when there’s no crosswalk instead of, ‘What are you crazy?!’ That’s the difference, that and the backdrop is so inspiring, I don’t know how anyone gets any work done. • Derek Edwards - My Blunderful Life Tour, Friday, May 13, Chilliwack Cultural Centre, $45, at 8 p.m. 604-391-SHOW (7469).

The Chilliwack Progress Friday, May 6, 2011

www.theprogress.com 33

Celebrating 50 years of caring Nearly a century ago, a tiny band of concerned residents in the city of Detroit, Michigan formed a club with the intent of helping others. They took their name from a native Indian expression from the region, which meant “We share our talents,” or “We build.” And so was born the Kiwanis Club – a service organization that now includes 240,000 members in 7,700 clubs in 80 nations. Since then, Kiwanis has refined its motto to, “Serving the children of the world.” And it was that motto that helped inspire the formation of the Kiwanis Club of Chilliwack 50 years ago. The club had modest beginnings. Indeed, it was the West Point Grey Kiwanis Club that seeded interest in Chilliwack for a local origination. At least once a week, a handful of members from that club journeyed from the neighbourhoods of UBC to Chilliwack to bring the message of service to Chilliwack businessmen like Bill Epperson, Bill Tunbridge, Harper Owen, Sam Otto, Walt Rempel, Ray Chapman, Mike Monchak, George Langbroek and Jerry Brown. “We all liked what we heard,” said Jerry Brown in his history of the club, “and with 28 hearty men, and Bill Epperson the charter president, and Bill Tunbridge our secretary at the helm, we were chartered May 12, 1961.” The early going was tough, Brown remembered. And it wasn’t until the group began meeting over the lunch

hour that its membership began to grow. Stronger membership increased the club’s ability to do more in the community. It set about on a number of projects to raise money to help others, and work towards building Chilliwack into a stronger and more caring community. They sold Christmas trees, hosted Audobon wildlife films, and took special interest in the Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal. The club also spawned other clubs, both here and in Abbotsford. The Abbotsford club was formed after Chilliwack members travelled

to that city each week to generate interest, just as members of the West Point Grey club had done in Chilliwack years earlier. The Chilliwack club also helped form the Sardis Club, as well as a chapter of the Kiwanis’ Golden K Club. The Kiwanis’ commitment to youth also led to the creation of a middle school club – The Spades – that helped raise funds for local youth with special needs. The club also initiated special projects like the construction of camp facilities at the Boy Scout’s Camp Linley.

Objectives of Kiwanis The six permanent Objects of Kiwanis International were approved by Kiwanis club delegates at the 1924 Convention in Denver, Colorado. Through the succeeding decades, they have remained unchanged. ■ To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life. ■ To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships. ■ To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards. ■ To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship. ■ To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities. ■ To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill.

Today, the Kiwanis Club of Chilliwack remains committed to the community. The Kiwanis Club of Chilliwack provides financial support to a variety of local and international organizations. Recent donations include support to organizations such as: • Search and Rescue • Chilliwack Safety Village • Special Olympics British Columbia Chilliwack • Kiwanis Sports Award Children remain a priority for the club. It’s involved in several local activities that encourage mental and physical growth, like: • The Super Reader Program • The Read With Me Program • The Students-of-the-Month Program • Scholarships in the Community • Support to the Pacific Riding for Developing Abilities • Support to Central Gateway Learning Center And despite the seriousness of many of these projects, club members maintain one of the most important aspects of their organization – something reflective of those early meetings at the Empress Hotel and the Airport Cafe: Friendship and camaraderie. The Kiwanis Club of Chilliwack meets every Thursday at Rendezvous Restaurant at Noon. For more information, contact Darell Miton at 604-792-4371; email: d_miton@telus.net

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

BCHL green-lights potential Mills move Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Moray Keith may want the BCHL, and the BCHL may want Chilliwack, but league commissioner John Grisdale said Wednesday there are many questions to be answered before that would become a reality. Chief among them, how committed would Chilliwack be to the junior A circuit? Having already jilted the BCHL once in favour of the Western Hockey League, would Chilliwack be coming back for the long haul, or only until the return of major junior? “The league is building on a long-term basis, and we’re not sure what Chilliwack’s long-term interest in the BCHL would be,” Grisdale said. “If it’s a matter of them coming in while they continue to look for a better opportunity, then it might not be in our best interests. So that is definitely a question we would ask.” And what would the right answer be? If Moray Keith and business partner Jim Bond remain intent on securing another WHL team to eventually play in Prospera Centre, what does the BCHL push for to keep history from repeating itself? “Obviously we would like them to say they’re committed to the BCHL for X number of years, recognizing that markets and interests change,” Grisdale said. “Obviously that facility (Prospera Centre) was built with something bigger in mind, and those questions need to be put in front of them.” It’s obvious that the BCHL is interested in Chilliwack, once one of its most successful markets in the heyday of the Chiefs. That much is evident in the league’s willingness to extend deadlines to accommodate the possibility of a Quesnel to Chilliwack relocate. According to Grisdale, the normal deadline for teams to declare their intentions is

The Chilliwack Chiefs were a BCHL success story once upon a time, but could they do it again? With the Western Hockey League Bruins gone to Victoria, it seems more and more likely junior A is coming back to Chilliwack. JENNA HAUCK FILE PHOTO

Dec. 1. “That includes the application process, business plan, ownership identification and so on,” Grisdale said. “In this instance, I had to go back to the board of governors and ask them if they were interested in hearing a relocation application at this point.” The BCHL’s franchise committee had a conference call on Sunday, and another on Tuesday, at which point they green-lighted the potential sale and relocation of the Quesnel Millionaires. “But as far as I know, there’s no offer to buy the Millionaires, so there’s nothing for the board of governors to look at yet,” Grisdale cautioned. “We

All of that pay it off and we did and we has to get done between are very proud of that. Right the current Quesnel now, Chilliwack is a ownership group and good option for the the potential buyers kids because it would before it gets brought keep them together before the league.” as a team.” What Grisdale can With the calendar say definitively is that just flipped to May BCHL hockey will not and hockey training be played in Quesnel camps starting in next season.

Corporate sponsorships “We have cleared up the would need to be secured

and season tickets would need to be sold. “I think Chilliwack is a great hockey market, and I wasn’t privy to how successful the Bruins were or weren’t,” Grisdale said of the departed major junior team’s business woes. “Any ownership group will have a business plan that will be very comprehensive under our regulations, and they’ll have to show us how they feel they can generate fan and sponsorship interest.” On the hockey side, a general manager would have to put together a team on the fly, missing out on prime recruiting time. At this juncture, only a miracle worker might be

able to ice a playoff-worthy team next season. The 2010-11 Mills went 13-28-3-6 during the regular season, finishing seventh in the eight team Interior conference. They were quickly dispatched from the playoffs in four games by the Penticton Vees. The roster making the move to the Fraser Valley would need an awful lot of work. On the plus side, 14 of the 16 BCHL teams make the playoffs every year and there is a man lurking in the wings who might be classified as a BCHL miracle worker. Paging Harvey Smyl.

Title time for volleyballers The Fraser Valley Volleyball Club’s U-14 boys are provincial champions, going 6-0 to take the title last weekend at Brookswood secondary school in Langley. The boys started the tournament on Saturday, breezing to a straight-sets (25-4, 25-9) decision over Surrey’s Force. They continued on with dominant wins over the White Rock 13’s (259, 25-10) and Kelowna 1 (25-15, 25-9). The perfect record on day one earned the team a bye to the quarter-finals. On Sunday morning the locals played Kelowna 2, winning another two-setter by scores of 25-9, 25-12. They followed up with a semi-final win over the White Rock 14’s (25-10, 25-10). The win secured a second straight trip to

the provincial championship match for the boys, who lost to the Surrey Eagles in last year’s final. The V ictoria Landsdowne Flyers stood in their way this year, the only team to defeat the FVVC boys in their own age group all season. The final started out very close. The Fraser Valley boys had three set points in the opening game but could not put the Flyers away, eventually losing 26-28. Rather than withering away in frustration, the local boys found another gear, storming back to hammer the Flyers 25-9 in the second game and set up a winner-takes-all third set. The teams traded points in the tie-breaker, with the Victoria squad taking a slim 8-7 advantage. But the local boys

turned on the jets and pulled away, taking a 14-11 lead to match point. The Flyers managed to snag a couple of last points in a desperate attempt to claw back but it was too little too late as the Fraser Valley squad grabbed the final point for a 15-13 victory. The Fraser Valley boys relied on a deep bench to rest their starters for the playoff matches on Sunday. All fourteen athletes played significant roles in at least three of the six matches. Captain Jordan Loewen (MEI, Abbotsford) led the team with 30 kills, eight service aces, 15 digs and seven stuff blocks for the weekend. He also received serve at a remarkable 2.89 (out of a possible 3.00) for the weekend. Langley Fundamental’s Steven Hsu had 21 kills

and 13 digs. Setters Jordy Koslowsky and Simon Friesen (both from MEI) had 63 and 33 assists respectively. Middle hitters Curtis Schopf (from Chilliwack’s G.W. Graham) and Josiah Mooy (Surrey Christian) were very strong at the net, each recording four timely stuff blocks. Right side hitter Jonah Swanson of MEI was the defensive catalyst as he received serve at a 2.45 clip on 20 attempts and added 15 digs. Other members of the team are Levi Block and Mark Harrison (Chilliwack), Reese Frey (Surrey) with Abbotsford natives Ben Friesen, Bryson Marazzi, Quinn Sojonky and Keaton Boughen. The boys travel to Saskatoon this weekend to compete in the Canadian Open Championships.

Salmon Arm success for Chilliwack trio

WHO WERE INSTRUMENTAL IN MAKING OUR HIKE FOR HOSPICE A HUGE SUCCESS!

Three Chilliwack minor hockey products looking to crack Team BC’s U-18 squad excelled at the BC Female U-18 Cup last weekend. Defenceman Katie Wardell and forward Hailey Smyl were part of the gold medal winning Wildcats. For ward Micaela Smith suited up for the Pandas. The competition, held in Salmon Arm, featured the top 120 midget-aged female hockey players in the province, selected from six zone camps held earlier in April. Chosen players were assigned to teams, joined by players from the six zones (Greater Vancouver, Fraser Valley, Okanagan, Kootenays, Vancouver Island, and North).

WE RAISED OVER $16,000 WITH 115 PARTICIPATING IN THE HIKE, AND OVER 60 VOLUNTEERS!

6-2 lead. Whitehouse, Kellington and Rutley both got on base their first three trips to the plate, with Reece Howden and Loewen going two for three. Kellington had the big knock with a triple, and Loewen added a stand-up double. Gabriel Olivares didn’t get on base but had some excellent atbats. The Abby lumber came alive in the fifth and sixth innings. Helped by some Chilliwack fielding miscues, the 6-2 lead turned into a 12-8 final. The Cougars are back at it Saturday, visiting Ridge Meadows for a double-header against the Royals. Get more Chilliwack Minor Baseball information online at www. cmb.goalline.ca.

Teams arrived late Wednesday afternoon, and gruelling fitness testing started that evening. Testing continued Thursday morning, and teams began practicing the same day. Thursday night featured a banquet with presentations from BC Hockey and Hockey Canada. Cup play started Friday with the Wildcats playing two games. Wardell scored the winner in a 2-0 win, followed by a 4-3 shootout triumph over the Falcons. One of the Wildcat centres suffered a concussion early in game two and Smyl logged extra minutes, using her speed and physical play in a defensive role. The Wildcats and Falcons clashed again in a Saturday night semi-

final, with the Wildcats erasing a 3-1 deficit to win 4-3. The Wildcats trailed the Wolverines 3-2 heading to the third period in Sunday’s championship game before a third period blitz earned them a 6-3 win and the tourney title. Wardell led all Wildcat defencemen with two goals, adding a pair of assists. Smyl was among the top three Wildcat forwards in minutes played, chipping in a couple of assists and showing off the skating and backchecking skills needed to progress to the next level. The speedy, hardshooting Smith scored two goals and picked up a couple of assists for the fifth-place Pandas. The BC Cup is the

second in a multi-step process for selecting both B.C.’s and, ultimately, Canada’s U-18 female hockey teams. Between 46-50 players from the BC Cup will progress to the next step, a Team BC evaluation camp held over the May long weekend. All of Wardell, Smith and Smyl grew up playing their minor hockey in Chilliwack and were part of the first allfemale hockey team in Chilliwack history (peewee Warriors 2006-07). The trio played for the midget AAA Fraser Valley Phantom this season. Wardell is in her final year of eligibility for the U-18 High Performance program, but both Smith and Smyl are eligible to participate again next year.

Cascade crews honoured in Abbotsford

The University of the Fraser Valley Cascades men’s golf and women’s soccer teams were honoured last Saturday at the 2011 Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame banquet.

The teams were inducted into the Abbotsford Sports Wall of Fame, marking the fourth straight year that coach Chris Bertram and the golf program have been inducted. For Coach Rob Giesbrecht, this is a first for UFV women’s soccer. The men’s golf team earned the 2010 silver medal at both the conference (BCCAA) and national (CCAA) levels, with Chilliwack’s Aaron Pauls playing exception-

ally well. Meanwhile, the women’s soccer team became the first UFV crew to capture a Canada West championship, defeating UBC in the final. The Cascades went on to earn the CIS bronze medal and finished the 2010 season as Canada’s third ranked women’s soccer program. The team included four Chilliwack natives; Danika and Roxanne Snook, Donna

Pinning and Danielle Schmidt. “We had an outstanding year and I am very proud of the girls, because they worked so hard and achieved beyond their goals,” Giesbrecht said. For more information on the Abbotsford Sports Hall of Fame please visit www.abbyspor tshallof fame.ca/ index.php. For info on UFV sports, see www.ufv.ca/ athletics.

Opening day at speedway Agassiz Speedway’s 2011 racing season opened last weekend with thrilling action in five classes. Local hornet driver Robert Adams is providing exclusive coverage in the Chilliwack Progress and has a full report.

Reserve before June 30th and receive the 3rd month FREE!

Before any racing started, an enthusiastic but chilled crowd was treated to some excellent entertainment. Most of the cars lined up on the straightaway with the crowds coming down to view the cars and talk with the drivers. The children, with

autograph papers in hand, were wide eyed and thrilled to be able to sit in a real race car. In addition, local band Hot Rod Gurl played several songs, covering songs from 1970’s classic rock up to current hits. Once racing started, Aaron Willison’s No. 41 Nissan 240 swept the night in the Ministocks. Ben Denis and Tyler Thomas battled for the lead through nine laps until Willison charged past, followed by Nick Hastie, Wayne Goodwin and Norm Hillert. Brent Roher was making a

strong push until his engine expired on lap 10 and Goodwin fell out on lap 22, leaving Hastie to try to overtake Willison but fell short. The Midgets race split into two packs with Troy Globe battling Steve Hora and Abbotsford’s Billy Bell (last year’s Hornet champ) trying to hold off a charge from Kris McKenzie. McKenzie passed Bell on lap 10, and two laps later Hora collided with the outside wall, taking him out for the night. Globe won the race off the re-start.

Dave Hemrich was victorious in the Sportsman main event. Larry Sproule led early, but Hemrich and Roy Jones made their moves on lap 10. Bob Kuhn saved his best for last, passing Jones and John Ross, but not Hemrich, to finish second. The tightest race was the Street Stocks, with John Chatwin taking an early lead and never looking back, holding off Cameron Graham for the checkered flag. Keith Tourand had a rough race, with an oil-line burst sending him to the pits with huge flames flying from under his hood. The Hornet class provided the most controversial finish, with 26 laps resulting in several damaged and writtenoff cars. Kimberlee Globe hit the wall in turn two and required medical attention. But she was OK after being stitched and stapled up. The race ended under a yellow flag, with rookie Cameron Jones getting the unofficial win. Results of the main race are under review, but more results are online at www.agassizspeedway.com

✞ Obituaries

With sadness in our hearts we announce Gerry Huebert passed away peacefully April 29, 2011, age 80. He will be lovingly remembered by his wife Renee; daughter Debbie (Tony) Roberts; brothers Dave (Fran), Erwin (Dee); sister Martha Lastik and family. Gerry was born in Moose Jaw, Sask., moving to Greendale at 2 years old in 1932. He started his career with BC Electric switching to a brick mason in 1955. He loved being in sales for 5 years with Cascade Masonry in the 80’s. During his retirement years he enjoyed driving taxi until age 75. Gerry was a great lover of life and appreciated the great outdoors that nature had to offer. His parting will be greatly missed by family and friends who enjoyed his sense of humour and sincere friendship. A celebration of his life will be held at Yarrow Community Hall on Sunday, May 15, 1:00 pm.

SHAW Cecil MacMurchy

Cecil MacMurchy Shaw’s long and fulﬁlling life came to a peaceful close on May 2, 2011 at the age SHAW of 97. Cec (as he was known to friends) was born on April 1, 1914 at Alert Bay, BC. The son of a Methodist minister, he moved to various towns in B.C. before settling in Sardis in the late 30’s. He graduated from Salmon Arm High school and took postsecondary teacher training in Vancouver. He served in the RCAF during WW II as a radar mechanic in Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. Cec married Lorna Pearson in 1939, and the two of them worked as a team for the rest of their 69 years together. They operated and eventually owned Pearson’s General Store in Sardis until they closed shop in 1974. Not yet ready to retire, Cec and Lorna then ventured into the ﬁeld of real estate, in which they practiced for another 10 years.

Cec loved to spend time outdoors. From summer fun at the Cultus Lake cottage, to watching his grandchildren play soccer, to maintaining the family home and garden on Britton Ave., as long as there was daylight, Cec would be outside. In his younger years he played on baseball and baskeball teams in the valley and was an avid badminton player. At the Shaw home, Hockey Night in Canada was an open invitation to spend Saturday night in the Shaw rec room (cheering for the ‘right’ team, of course). Cec and Lorna were also charter season ticket holders to the B.C. Lions football games. Cec was predeceased by his wife Lorna and son Gordon. He is survived by his daughter Sheri Allen (Gail & Keith), daughter-in-law Donna Shaw of Edmonton (Carla & Scott), Marilyn Gaudette (Patti, Garth and Glenda), several great-grandchildren, and a group of caring nurses at Eden Care facility whose efforts in his last months are appreciated. A selﬂess, widely respected, yet fun-loving man possessed of an incomparable dry wit, Cec found his greatest pleasure relaxing in the company of his family and friends. To those close to him, Cec was a stabilizing moral inﬂuence, like a sturdy, dependable anchor amid shifting seas. He will be missed by all.

SHEREMETO William

(Bill) William (Bill) Sheremeto passed away April 30, 2011 at Cascade Hospice at age 74 years. He SHEREMETO was born on June 12, 1936 at Swan Plain, Saskatchewan. He is survived by his children, Richard (Cheryl), Jerry (Terry), Bruce (Maggie), Bill, Fred, David, Bob. His siblings:

Tina, Jenny, Violet, Angeline, David and Jim. Numerous grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. He was predeceased by his wife of 45 years, Agnes; children, Nancy, Don & Clarence; siblings, Metro, Richard & Archie; and his mom and dad, Harry and Lena Sheremeto. A funeral service will be held on Sat., May 7 at 2:00 pm at Henderson’s Funeral Home. Viewing for family and friends from 1:15-1:45. William loved his trucks, from semi’s to tow trucks, they were his passion. His nickname became “Hard-tofind-Bill” but with his bright green fluorescent-coloured tow truck he was hard to miss. As a son of a scrap metal dealer, William was destined to follow in his dad’s footsteps. William was one of the first volunteers at Ruth and Naomi’s and enjoyed his times spent there. William will be sadly missed but is now in the hands of our Lord and Saviour.

STRYD Henri

WEGENER Maria Anna (Mary)

(nee Gerick) Maria was born on May 1st, 1934 in Ahaus, Germany, the second oldest of eight children born to Bernhard WEGENER and Anna Gerick. During the 1940’s Maria met a man named Hermann who had been discharged

aith DIRECTORY

from the army to assist large families suffering from the deprivations of the war. They kept in touch even after Hermann immigrated to Canada in 1951. She finally accepted his offer of marriage and joined him in Vancouver. They were married in Sept. 1955. Soon after moving to Powell River, their first son Herman was born, followed by Hans and Mary-Anne. Better employment opportunities allowed them to move to Chilliwack which they made their permanent home in 1965. Two years later they had their fourth child Annamarie. Shortly afterwards Maria began her career as a seamstress, first from her home and then worked for Hamel’s Drapery until her retirement in 2003. Among her many other accomplishments she was a proud founding member of the Chilliwack German Club and the Evergreen Choir in 1982. In 2001 after an amazing battle, she defeated a type of cancer which took away her ability to speak. She refused to allow this disability to keep her from being heard and soon relearned to talk using an electrolarynx. Overcoming these challenges proved what a brave and spirited woman she was. She passed away suddenly and peacefully on April 30th, 2011. She is survived by Hermann, her loving husband of 55 years and by her sons Herman (Wendy), Hans (Diana), her daughters Mary-Anne (Mike) and Annamarie (Ted), her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren. She is also survived by her sister Christine, her brothers Ludger (Caroline), Klaus (Maya), Erwin (Marianne) and Bernhard (Gisela), and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by relatives Josef Büter, Herman Gerick, and Monica Gerick. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the IC Unit at Vancouver General Hospital. The family wishes to thank the many doctors and nurses involved in her care over the years and all her friends, especially Marianne Soth, Betty Genderman, Irene Hadley and Luise Kaiser.
