‘Clean Sweep’ crime-fighting a success, say RCMP Robert Freeman The Progress Crime in downtown Chilliwack and other “hot spots” around the community took a beating under the RCMP’s ‘Clean Sweep’ project, says Staff Sgt. Marty Blais. The short-term project is winding down now with a solid success under its belt, but will return in the fall. Exactly where police will focus their crime-fighting efforts next, Blais isn’t saying. “It depends on what we find out in the next few months,” he said. Blais heads up the teams of plainclothes and uniformed RCMP officers assigned to keep relentless heat on criminal activity in certain “hot spots” identified by a crime analyst hired by the Upper Fraser Valley detachment. Hiring the analyst was the third phase of a crime reduction strategy adopted from the United Kingdom by the RCMP here to make more efficient use of limited police resources. The strategy is based on three ideas: identifying prolific offenders who commit most of the crimes in a community, identifying the causes of crime, and identifying crime hot spots. Instead of driving around looking for crime, police officers focused their efforts on crime “hot spots” identified by the analyst. Chilliwack’s downtown and the Ryder Lake area were two hot spots identified during the Clean Sweep project. Over the 60-day life of the project, Blais said 67 arrests were made, including five prolific offenders, and 27 curfew checks were conducted, with the result that two-thirds were found in breach of court-ordered curfews. They now face additional charges and possible jail terms. Clean Sweep officers also seized illegal drugs and recovered items stolen in home break-ins.
Is this summer season a washout? Weather dependent businesses are looking for a break in the clouds Katie Bartel The Progress They’re not panicking yet. While the unseasonably cool weather has caused drops in revenue for some of Chilliwack’s weather-dependent businesses, it’s still too early to tell if their seasons will be a complete washout. Sunnyside Campground and Vedder River Campground are currently operating at 89 per cent capacity, down three per cent from last year. “A three to four per cent dif-

ference is not too bad; we’re not squirming yet,” said Irene Lapointe, manager of campgrounds and visitor services for Cultus Lake Park Board, which operates both campgrounds. July is typically the busy season for the campgrounds, and while they have had some cancellations due to weather, it hasn’t been extreme. “We’re holding our own at this point,” said Lapointe. “But if it continues, the lack of summer for the whole season, then yes we’ll be affected big time.

watch our spending, cut back on expenditures – and that could affect all departments.” The average temperature in Chilliwack for the first two weeks of July, as measured by Environment Canada, is two degrees colder than normal. The mean temperature (an average of the highs and lows of each day) is currently sitting at 15.4 degrees Celsius; normally it’s 17.3. “Two degrees over two weeks is pretty significant,” said David Jones, Environment Canada meteorologist.

“It’s really been a combination of a lack of sunshine, no heat wave, no stretches of good, sunny weather at all really.” On average, July and August are the warmest, driest, sunniest months in B.C. And while there’s sun balls in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday with temperatures expected to get up to 26 and 24 degrees respectively, it won’t last. Come Monday, the forecast shows grey clouds, cooler temperatures and a good chance of showers. Continued: WEATHER/ p6

Grow-op service raises privacy issues: BC Civil Liberties Robert Freeman The Progress A new service being offered to landlords in the Lower Mainland using heat-seeking technology to detect illegal marijuana grow operations raises privacy issues, a BC Civil Liberties Association official said Monday. Micheal Vonn, policy director at the BCCLA, said there are some immediate legal questions, but also some “cultural ramifications” to the service announced last week by Griffin Investigations & Securities Ltd. Landlords have a “legitimate interest” to protect their rental properties from illegal grow-ops, Vonn said, “the question is where is the balance ... between tenants’ privacy and landlords’ protection?”
Brian Goldstone, Griffin CEO, said privacy was a major concern of the company, but legal advisors determined the heat-seeking FLIR (Forward Looking Infra Red) camera was not powerful enough to constitute an invasion of privacy. The $14,000 suitcase-sized mobile unit cannot detect the heat of human bodies behind walls, but can measure the “heat signature” of an illegal marijuana grow-op inside a rental property. “We’re not out there trying to see people in their homes or what they’re up to,” Goldstone said. He said the inspections would normally take place from the roadside, at night, without entering the property or interfering with tenants. Once a grow-op is indicated, the property owner can give the
tenant two-weeks notice of a physical inspection. A marijuana grower would then likely quickly dismantle the equipment. “They’re not going to want their grow-op found,” Goldstone said. Property owners who buy into the service will also be able to advise prospective tenants that FLIR inspections will take place on a monthly basis. “The whole idea is to prevent (grow-ops),” Goldstone said. “I hope we never find one.” The $75 fee for the monthly FLIR inspection is a small price to pay for the thousands of dollars in remedial work that landlords face when a rental property is used for an illegal marijuana grow operation. Goldstone, a retired police officer, said his company came up with
the idea after doing the research and deciding it could be a moneymaker for the company and at the same time help protect landlords from illegal marijuana grows. “Landlords have no insurance to cover (the cleanup costs),” he said, which recently led to an $18,000 bill for one landlord in Mission. Vonn said there appears to be two things that puts the service in the “grey zone” privacy-wise. First, the contract for service may be outside the BC Residential Tenancy Act, and, secondly, the act provides for the tenants’ “exclusive possession of a rental unit, including reasonable privacy, and quiet and peaceful enjoyment of the rental unit.” “The question then becomes is monthly FLIR inspection reasonable?” Vonn asked.
Vonn also pointed out there is a statutory tort of privacy in B.C. that, according to a Canadian legal website, is “actionable without proof of damage ... to violate the privacy of another.” So, the service is at least open to challenge in B.C. courts. Vonn said that “ever-increasing technological in-roads into our private lives” does not come as a surprise, given the profits to be made. But every time a “new invasive technology” arises, she said, the balance between privacy and other interests must be defined once again. “What we don’t want to see is privacy compromised because technology allows us to do it,” she said. rfreeman@theprogress.com
Vedder trail given a facelift Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
Close call on highway Robert Freeman The Progress A Victoria couple escaped with minor injuries when their camper trailer clipped a semi-trailer in the westbound lanes near Annis Road east of Chilliwack just after noon Wednesday. The couple’s pickup truck and the camper trailer “conveniently” slid off the TransCanada onto the Annis Road exit ramp, avoiding more serious injury, said RCMP Sgt. Bob Reed, at Fraser Valley Traffic Services. He said the semi-trailer driver was uninjured, and the
couple’s two dogs were also safe and being looked after at an animal shelter. Reed said the pickup pulling the camper trailer was passing the semi- when it started to “sway” so the driver slowed down. But the trailer continued to sway and “tagged” the semi- in the slow lane, flipped onto its side and slid onto the Annis Road exit ramp. One of the pickup truck occupants was trapped inside the wreckage, but was freed with minor injuries. • For video from the crash scene, go to www.theprogress. com

Chilliwack’s most popular recreational trail has earned an upgrade recently with the help of some hightech innovation. “The Vedder Rotary trail is one of our most used facilities, and it’s the jewel in our system,” reported city parks manager Dave Snider in his report to council Tuesday. The trail which snakes along the Vedder River has been attracting about 10,000 users per month for the past year. “That’s substantial,” commented Snider. Trail improvements worth $114,000 included five kilometres of gravel resurfacing, installation of new kilometre markers, and interpretive signage program called TrailTalker using smart phones. “It’s really exciting for Chilliwack to be on the cutting edge of technology with this program,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. TrailTalker offers recorded vignettes about points of interest along the trail that can be downloaded. Users will hear the familiar voice of Star FM’s Scott Riley doing the voiceovers. The project also included a partnership and donation of $11,500 from the trails committee of the Rotary Club of Chilliwack, and $3,000 from Heppner Trucking. New larger trail markers, called “bollards” were installed to mark the kilometres with the new city logo, and the Rotary logo along with links to trailtalker.com. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

THE FAIR DEPENDS ON THE SUPPORT OF OUR COMMUNITY.
Jeff Nagel Black Press Fraser Health is stepping up efforts to steer seniors away from costly hospital or long-term care beds if they can be supported and treated in their own homes. The health authority has hired five quick response case managers – based at Royal Columbian, Surrey Memorial, Burnaby, Abbotsford Regional and Peace Arch hospitals – to work with geriatric nurses to flag incoming patients at ERs who can instead be sent home with bolstered supports. That’s one of a series of initiatives underway collectively dubbed “Home is Right” – a broad effort to change the mindset of hospital officials, health care workers and families. “Home with appropriate supports – not hospital, not residential care – is the best place for seniors to manage their chronic conditions and live out their final days,” says Lynda Foley, Fraser Health’s executive director of home health and end of life care. Most seniors prefer to stay in their own homes, with their pets, belongings and family. They have what they need, can be more active and social, and they avoid the risks of hospital-borne infections. Parked in a wheelchair or stretcher in hospital, they can quickly lose muscle strength and typically take longer to recover. And hospitals will simply hit a breaking point as the demographic bulge of seniors grows if the chronically ill elderly continue to be primarily handled by the acute care system. “We know that tsunami is coming at us,” Foley said. “If we don’t change the system, we’re not going to be able to sustain it into the future.” The trick is to deliver needed

supports into homes. Foley said that strategic shift is underway and has been gaining momentum since January, when Fraser Health formally set home care as the first option to be considered for elderly patients who no longer need a hospital bed. She gives the example of an 85-year-old man who arrives at hospital with symptoms from his end-stage heart disease. He might not be admitted but instead diverted from the ER back home where whatever care is needed can be arranged. The quick response care manager who made that decision would actually accompany him home, check his medications, assess the situation and arrange follow up care by a family doctor, geriatrician and other support staff – coordinated by a community case manager. Other patients who must be admitted to hospital because of more serious symptoms can be stabilized and then shifted more quickly back to home if the necessary supports are there. The region has already increased home support service by 11 per cent over the past year, to 169,000 hours a month. The region is hiring more home support workers, who can help with grooming, bathing and
managing medications. Physiotherapists, nurses and other professionals can be dispatched to the home. to provide treatment and ensure the home is safe. Eight more home health liaisons have also been added to hospitals – they check on admitted patients daily to determine which ones can soon be discharged and start arranging home support services. Put together, officials are betting the Home is Best strategy will cut wait times for residential care and free up hospital beds for the patients who most need them. The shift to home has been talked about for years, but Foley says much more supports is now in place than in the past. They include programs like seniors day care, which might let an elderly woman taking care of her much more ill husband get a few hours break to pay the bills, shop or take time for herself. Longer term respite care could even let her take a vacation. Home care spending in Fraser Health has swelled to nearly $200 million a year, providing some kind of care or service in the home to 15,000 people daily. Continued: SENIOR/ p5

Senior support at home SENIOR from p4 Some services are free, while in other cases patients pay fees based on income or are billed for supplies. Foley is ready for skeptics who may think the diverted seniors will end up under-treated in the name of saving the system money. “I believe the system has to step up and flex its muscle and show we can do what we want to do,” Foley said. Dr. Grace Park, medical director for Fraser’s home health program, says the redesign of services under-

way should ensure seniors feel supported and safe living at home. “Families often worry that their elderly loved one is too frail to live at home and should go to a residential care facility,” Park said. “They need confidence that adequate community and home support programs will be there and that their care will be coordinated by the health care team.” MORE RESOURCES

Burn Camp barbecue at the lake Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack firefighters hosted a Burn Camp barbecue with gusto at Cultus Lake Community School this week. It’s the second year they’ve held the event in support of the British Columbia Professional Fire Fighters’ Burn Fund, and its annual Burn Camp, said Andy Brown, burn camp rep from the Chilliwack Fire Department. More than 100 campers and counsellors are taking in the activities at the 2011 camp that runs until July 22. “Last year’s event was such a great community success that we are hosting the lunch again this year as well,� Brown said. The BBQ lunch, bouncy castle, face painting station and a fire truck to climb on were all part of the fun. “The camp is free for burn survivors and is completely paid for with donated funds,� Brown said. The local fire department’s calendar sales netted a whopping $25,000 for charity, of which $6,250 was donated last year, and the same amount this year, for a total dona-

tion to the burn fund of $12,500. Those donated funds made it possible for four kids to attend the burn camp last year, and another three this year. The Burn Fund covers the campers’ travel and accommodations, and the cost of coordinating and operating the camp. There is no fee for the campers. The cost for each survivor is about $2,900. Confronting the challenges imposed by a lifetime of pain or disfigurement is just the beginning for most burn survivors. They
must also struggle to heal the acute emotional and psychological trauma that can be equally painful and daunting. The Burn Camp experience allows young burn survivors, ages 6 to 18, to have fun and express themselves for one week of the year. Doctors, nurses, medical therapists, adult burn survivors and professional firefighters donate their time as counsellors at the camp to provide a healthy and safe environment for the campers.

Untangling the HST Many British Columbians have already marked their X to extinguish the HST or save it from extinction. Congratulations to them for having already waded through the gobbledegook being trotted out by both sides, and for having waded through all the instructions Elections BC sent with the ballot. For those still trying to make up their minds, good luck. The tax talk long ago went from being a logical discussion of the HST’s merits or faults. It has now digressed into political rhetoric. Debate has divided along party lines. It didn’t begin that way with former Social Credit premier Bill Vander Zalm taking up the cause against the HST’s introduction by the BC Liberals . The New Democrats were slow to take up the cause. But when the public got angry after finding out the HST meant paying an extra seven per cent tax on stuff they hadn’t been taxed on before the NDP jumped on the bandwagon. It sure appears they did so out of political expediency. Instead of working to find a way to tweak the tax to make it fair, the NDP realized by amping up the animosity they might be able to capitalize by using the issue to take down the Liberals in the next election. The Liberals, on the other hand, became stubborn in their unwillingness to tweak the tax until the Fight HST movement got too strong to ignore. Now they’re bending the rules with the so-called ‘independent’ government ads from hstinbc.ca. The commercials note the province has promised to lower the HST from 12 to 10 per cent, but blatantly neglect to point out it won’t drop to 11 per cent until July 1, 2012 and not to 10 per cent until July 1, 2014. The whole sad exercise—including those annoying suppertime ‘town hall’ phone calls from both parties—has left most British Columbians with their heads spinning trying to separate rhetoric from valid points. That’s a task they should have been spared from. ~ Black Press
B.C. V IEWS
When weather becomes climate VICTORIA – My summer road trip to the B.C. Interior began as soon as the Trans-Canada Highway reopened at Chilliwack. The crew had worked through the night to clear a mudslide studded with rocks the size of Smart cars, along with a couple of actual cars. We headed up the historic canyon route from Hope to Yale to Cache Creek, the Fraser River still surging a month after it should have settled back. At Ashcroft, river rafters bravely bobbed on the brown torrent. The Williams Lake Stampede went ahead between rain showers, bull riders benefiting from soft conditions while barrel racers struggled. We drove to Prince George and then Vanderhoof, the geographical centre of B.C., where the Nechako River looked ready to climb out of its banks. As we

arrived news came that all this thundering water had done its work, toppling a hydroelectric tower at Surrey, briefly closing the Trans-Canada Highway again. One family member was unable to come down from Chetwynd for a visit. He was cut off by a staggerTom ing 16 washouts of FLETCHER Highway 97 north of Prince George in the Pine Pass, which winds through the Hart Range. This stretch of road has long been a contender for the most extreme mountain conditions in B.C., but one night of torrential rain tore it up beyond anything seen in my lifetime. This pass is the only road link from southern B.C. to the vast
Northeast. The rains would keep coming around Dawson Creek and Fort St. John, disrupting farms, natural gas development, a coal mine and a wind farm with floods and washouts. The transpor tation ministr y and its contractors had a winding track open through the Pine Pass construction zone within days, an amazing effort to restore essential freight traffic into the region that has emerged as B.C.’s main economic engine. But reconstruction will likely take the rest of the summer. We were back in Victoria by the time the Fraser River finally crested at the Mission gauge after six weeks of high water, its latest peak since 1920. During the trip, gasoline prices reached a high of $1.31, nudged up slightly by the latest increase in the carbon tax as well as political turmoil overseas. This is
B.C.’s largely symbolic nod to the concern that extreme weather events are accelerating due to huge consumption of fossil fuels and emissions of greenhouse gases. I’ve been careful not to make any sweeping statements about the evolving science of climate change. But the sheer power of recent weather events, and the scars left by bark beetles and fires, are difficult to ignore. Australia has just taken bolder steps than those of B.C., imposing a carbon tax on the country’s 500 largest carbon emitters. The government proposes to collect the revenues for three years and invest them in renewable energy, transition for coal and steel industries and tax cuts for consumers who will have industrial carbon taxes passed on to them in the price of goods. Then the Australian carbon tax

is supposed to convert to an emissions trading system designed to push industry into a cleaner future. B.C.’s carbon tax doesn’t exempt industr y as its critics sometimes claim. The tax is imposed on all fuels used in industry, but hasn’t been extended to industrial process emissions. By far the largest greenhouse gas source in B.C. remains vehicles, at around 40 per cent of the total. • Another highlight of the trip was the visible resurgence of the forest industry. May’s trade figures show B.C. lumber sales to China have surpassed the U.S. for the first time. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Slowing down won’t kill you pedestrian marked crosswalk areas and simply drove straight through while my daughter and I were just inches away from their vehicle. Please, I am urging all drivers to take the time to slow down, look both ways and pay attention when driving through crosswalks or when you see people wanting to cross to the other side of the street, and you the driver is not paying proper attention – too impatient and in a hurry to go elsewhere or home. We too want to get home alive. It won’t kill you to slow down, but it may kill me and my family. Tamara Peterson
Life-saving airlift earns a thank-you Regarding your article in The Progress on Thursday, July 7, 2011“Air ambulance saving lives in the Fraser Valley”, I would like to send a great big thank you to the Fraser Health Authority, the B.C. Ambulance Ser vices and the specially-trained critical care paramedics. In the article you mention six patients from the Chilliwack area that may already
owe their lives to this new program and as one of the six people, I am living proof that these dedicated, well organized people and this program has saved my life. Exactly one month to the date after the program was implemented I had a major heart attack and can attest to the efficiency of both the ambulance service and the paramedics that responded to my 911 call.
Words cannot describe the gratitude I will feel every day for the rest of my life because these people took the time to do their job in such a manner that they do make the difference and for this I will be forever grateful. (I would like to say a very special thank you to the gentleman that made the decision to airlift me to Royal Columbia where I received the STEMI procedure and the most
Plenty of blame to go around In his letter of July 15, Clifford Roulston asked some very interesting questions and I, for one, would suggest some of the reasons for the decline in our country’s overall wellbeing: Mergers and acquisitions, leading to job loss and often foreign ownership (profits go to the home country). Sale, hollowing out and privatization of valuable public assets; privatization most often leads to lower wages and, therefore, diminished purchasing power of the working public and, in the end, less tax revenue. Low royalties and exploitation fees for our natural resources. Weak regulations to protect the environment; while approximately 90 per cent of fish farms are foreignowned, these corporations do not obey their home countries’ regulations in Canada. Mega-stores hurt small businesses. Tax evasion by big corporations. Tax cuts for very profitable corporations and often extremely high compensation for CEOs. Distortion of the housing market through the investment of, for example, Hong Kong money in the real estate market. This, of course, drove up and is still driving up the price of homes which less and less ordinary Canadians can afford to buy. The points I made are only superficial ones and would need to be elaborated on and defined much more thoroughly. Roberta Boss, Chilliwack
wonderful care that I could ever ask for. I wished I had asked your name but I am sure you know who you are.) When I tell people about my experience I tell them how lucky I am not just to be here but to have had the care and attention of these wonderful people who are in my opinion, amazing. Bless you all! Patricia Neufeld, Chilliwack
Geese aren’t the only problem Re: Marilyn Derksen’s letter, Chilliwack Progress, July 19. I feel it important that no blame be attached to Festival of the Arts for fowl droppings on Harrison’s beach. Neither the Village nor the Festival sponsors are allowed to disturb the geese in any manner according to wildlife regulations. On the other hand, tourists contribute to the problem by feeding the geese. I have personally observed Harrison tourists bury soiled baby diapers in the sand, while waste bins are provided conveniently all along the beachfront. Geese are just one of the problems to plague our beaches. (I note that Cultus Lake is also experiencing problems related to geese.) K.C. Curry Chilliwack

this loud diesel engine to the left of me. I turn quickly to see this oversized black truck coming at me and my daughter. My husband saw the black truck at the same time and thought it was going to drive around us and not through us. He quickly turned around and yelled “Hey!” to the driver, who immediately put his brakes on. It is possible that if it were not for my husband being so quick to react the driver of that big oversized truck would have driven right over us. We walk every evening and use the crosswalks for safety reasons. This is not the first time that drivers were not paying attention when crossing through

Last night, July 19, when it was still light out, my husband, myself and our special needs daughter went out for our evening walk. We were on the tail end of it, waiting at the crosswalk intersection of Watson/Promontory and Vedder to cross over to the Shoppers Drug Mart side and walk two blocks to home. We waited for the walk signal, looked to the left behind us and looked across to the potential oncoming turning traffic. It was safe to cross; we were clearly visible – or so we thought. My husband was a couple feet ahead of my daughter and I, and we were trailing behind just barely in the middle of the crosswalk, when out of nowhere I hear

$20,000 for Knight Road bike lanes announced Bike lanes on Knight Road are going to be built with the aid of a $20,335 grant from the B.C. government. The funding from the BikeBC Cycling Infrastructure Partnerships program was announced Wednesday by Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom. “We’re committed to investing in community cycling infrastructure to improve the health and well-being of all British Columbians,” he said in a news release. “This investment will help make cycling a viable transportation option for families and communities, as well as reduce greenhouse gas emis-

sions,” he said. Chilliwack already has about 100 kilometres of bike lanes. According to the ministry, cycling eight kilometres is equal to 30 minutes of moderate exercise, and cycling 10 kilometres to and from work every day would reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 15,000 kilograms a year. Since 2001, the B.C. government has committed over $143 million for cycling infrastructure. Funding for 16 cycling projects this year totalled $1 million, including $100,000 for projects in Maple Ridge, Fort St. John, Kelowna, Prince George, Saanich and Surrey.

After a rash of breakins in Ryder Lake, RCMP officers met with area residents and soon arrested two suspects at a house on Lookout Road where more than 50 stolen items were discovered, including power tools, antiques, art work, jewelry, computers and personal identification. Const. Tracy Wolbeck
said one of those suspects remains in custody and the other has been released on condition they not to return to the Ryder Lake area. “These arrests were due to the hard work and intensity of the pressure police put on the suspects, and is a significant highlight of Clean Sweep’s success,” she said. Blais said the “police/ public partnership” was
the deciding factor in slamming the door on the Ryder Lake breakins. RCMP Insp. Hilton Smees agreed, saying the “significant success of the project is a direct result of the dedicated police officers working closely with (the) community who provided excellent information leading to these arrests and charges.” rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Michael Regan: Feeling at home in Chilliwack I
saw the slogan, ‘I love British accents’, on a T-shirt the other day. I found it amusing since I consider British accents rather intriguing and quite distinguished. When I sat down with Michael Regan the other day, it was delightful to sit back and listen to the manner in which he spoke. Michael was born in White Chapel, an area in the east end of London but grew up in Kent, an area known as the Garden of England. “Jack the Ripper used to hang out in the east part of London. It wasn’t
particular a nice place, but Kent, on the other hand, is absolutely lovely,” he laughed. As a youngster, his passion was and continues to be trains. “As kids, we’d Ana always be out MACEDO train spotting. I’d come home filthy dirty from the steam trains and we’d often get chased out of the train yards,” he admitted. He’s evidently proud of the
Keighley & Worth Valley Railway, a beautifully restored, five mile steam railway that is most famous for its role in the 1970 film version of Edith Nesbit’s story, The Railway Children. “I was a volunteer for eight years and am still a member, even though I’m now living here. I started off as a ticket seller but my most favourite job was working at the level crossings,” he said. Michael was sent to an academic and rugby boarding school in Sussex at the age of 12 and remained there until the age of 18. “I enjoyed it

Micheal Regan arrived in Canada in 2005 after immigrating from England. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
initially but you do end up growing out of it. It was a rather long day; we’d be up by 7 a.m. and then do homework for half an hour. We’d have breakfast at 8 a.m. and went to school until 4:15 p.m. and then there was homework for two hours. On Saturday afternoons, we were allowed out,” he chuckled. Although Michael recognized that he might want to pursue a career in business, there was certainly nothing decisive about that. He applied for and received a scholarship through Cadbury/Schweppes whereby you’d receive a grant to attend university and then you’d be paid to work in the industry. “How it worked was that you spent six months in university and then six months working in the industry. I spent three years doing this and the final year you spent entirely in school. Once you got out, you weren’t automatically hired but you had to re-apply. I did and went to work for a Schweppes bottling company in Liverpool. I worked on a fruit juice bottling machine and it was dreadful,” he admitted. He then moved to the south of England and took on a job
with a wine and spirits company. He remained with them for the next three years and enjoyed the experience. Given his knowledge and expertise, he was head hunted to work for a hair care company, working in their retail marketing division. “I had no technical knowledge but because of my marketing background, it was a good fit.” After nine years of promoting everything from hair dyes to shampoos and anything in between, it was time for Michael to make a move. “I went back into wines and spirits, taking on a job as the marketing director for a fine wine importer. I’d get invited to all of the tastings and quite honestly I learned how to spit. I couldn’t possibly drink all that stuff,” he laughed. After three years, the hustle and bustle of Central London became too much and he moved to Yorkshire where he bought a cheque cashing company. “This was an Australian franchise and we ran it for 10 years.” His parents-in-law had moved to Canada, looking for better opportunities. Michael and his family came for a visit during Christmas 2001 and when they returned
it took hours to get home. “We just sat in our car and the roads were essentially parking lots.” It was then that they decided to sell their business and their home and immigrate to Canada. “It took six months just to complete the paperwork and the application process took three years. Finally, in June 2005, we had final clearance. We sold our house and business and moved, arriving in September 2005.” When they arrived, neither Michael nor his wife, Sue had a job and they, along with daughters Nicola and Lucy, lived in his sister-in-law’s basement for a year. Michael and Sue finally found work in an encapsulation plant in Surrey. “I was making pills and labelling, by hand, serum for injection,” he said. He then applied for a job with MoneyMart and for the next two-anda-half years he looked after their stores from Chilliwack to Surrey. “I enjoyed it but it was just constant travelling and after awhile it becomes too much,” he said. Then one day, as Michael was in transit, he noticed a large billboard announcing the opening of a new CIBC branch. “A new branch needs a new
manager and I decided to apply for the job online. I didn’t get that job but the manager from the north branch went to the Sardis branch and they offered me the branch manager position for the north branch. I’ve been here now for two years and I must admit that CIBC is a great employer. They’re very good to new arrivals in Canada,” he said. Amongst a wide variety of duties, Michael is the District Coordinator for 25th annual CIBC Run for the Cure which takes place on Oct. 2. “l look after the branches in Chilliwack, Hope, Abbotsford, Langley and Aldergrove, with respect to their fundraising activities for this event. I volunteered for this because my mom and my mother-in-law died within three months of each other from breast cancer. The pink bus will also be coming to Chilliwack,” he announced enthusiastically. Michael is busy; he’s enjoying his life in Canada and still loves messing with trains. “I do miss the pubs in England, though. There’s nothing like a good English pub,” he chuckled.

Royal Columbian hospitals are eligible for this program. Countless UFV nursing students have had the opportunity to shadow a pregnant woman through doctor visits, prenatal classes, labour and delivery, and the postnatal period through the moms-tobe program over the past 15 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a wonderful opportunity for our students.

When you are injured in an accident your life can seem out of control.
SAN ANTONIO—Let me say this right away: what I know about golf could be written on one of those little tees. So what possessed me to go on a family golfing vacation? I blame my links-loving husband, who convinced me that the future success of our two teenage sons’ careers hinged on their ability to schmooze on a golf course. He also suggested that I “remember the Alamo.” Not because I’d be making a personal sacrifice for the greater good, but because we’d be golfing in San Antonio, home to that famous landmark. Every day—after our golf lessons, of course—we’d venture off to see the region’s historical sites. In the end, I agreed—as long as we stayed someplace really nice. That turned out to be the Westin La Cantera Resort. Ranked #2 in the “Top 30 Resorts in North America” by Condé Nast Traveler, it sits on the outskirts of San Antonio, on the edge of Hill Country, one of Texas’ prettiest regions thanks to rolling hills, lazy rivers and stands of oak and cedar trees. The resort—a mix of white stucco walls, red tiles, heavy wooden doors and intricate wrought iron—is meant to be reminiscent of the region’s 18th-century Spanish missions and ranches. It came with tennis courts and six swimming pools, but more importantly for our purposes, both the Palmer Course and the Resort Course, home to the PGA Tour’s Valero Texas Open, were a chip shot away. So was the golf school.
Teenage boys, whose futures may depend on their ability to play golf and shmooze, learn the first half of the equation from instructor Mike Lamanna. ANN BRITTON CAMPBELL/MERIDIAN WRITERS’ GROUP
It’s here we met Mike Lamanna, a PGA professional and, at the time of our visit, head of La Cantera Golf Academy. In our three mornings with Lamanna we made more golf progress than I thought possible. My sons learned that a golf swing is like a baseball swing, just bent over. I worked to master the proper grip, placing the club more in my fingers than in my palms and moving my left thumb toward the backside of the shaft. We all practiced hitting the golf ball’s equator, rather than its south pole. My husband worked on breaking a lifetime of bad habits including trying to crush the ball with every mighty swing. Not that a mere three days was nearly enough time to come away feeling like I’d mastered the game. When I despaired that I’d never get my swing right, Lamanna assured me that, “The first 100 years of playing golf are the hardest.”
Tired of Waiting in Line?
But it was family time to the max. We drove, chipped and putted together and watched each other get video-analyzed. We all applauded when Lamanna balanced one ball on top of another, then hit them both so one went in the hole and the other flew up and into the hat he whipped off his head. Surely that was proof of a life well-lived? After our final lesson, I admitted to Lamanna that I might be hooked. Who knew that golf could be so addictive? Well, Lamanna, for one. “Yup,” he said with a smile, and “I’m the dealer.” Explore More:

Benefits of blueberries go beyond taste They are truly a wonderful garden treat at this time of year and one of the very best health foods in the world, writes Brian Minter a compound in blueberries that promotes urinary tract health and reduces the risk of infection. European and Japanese scientists have documented the relationship between anthocyanin and improved eyesight and the easing of eye fatigue. The American Chemical Society has released information about a substance in blueberries, called pterostilbene, which has the potential to lower cholesterol. Further USDA research has also found that various compounds in vacciniums are helpful in reducing obesity and heart disease. There is a great deal of research now taking place on the many health benefits of blueberries, but if you eat about a cup a day,

you just might be the beneficiary of all kinds of good stuff. Blueberries are just now available in stores and at fruit stands but in the home garden, blueberries are one of the easiest plants to grow. In spite of all you’ve heard about pollination, blueberries are technically self-fertile. Production, however, is far better if two or more different varieties are planted. To say blueberries love acidic soil is an understatement. It is also important to choose a location that is rich in organic matter, but be careful to avoid manures. There are genetic dwarf, low bush and high bush varieties of blueberry plants, so they can fit into almost any garden area. Don’t hesitate to blend them in with other acid-loving

ideal growing area, I recommend planting one of each type to prolong the harvest period. Now you can stretch the season ever further by planting the extra early variety called ‘Elliot’ and the extra late one called ‘Spartan’. If you’re hung up on really big berries, then the largest in the world are the ‘Darrow’ and ‘Chandler’. Both have great flavour. Now available everywhere is the first pink variety called ‘Pink Lemonade’. To create an interesting and delicious combination, mix the pinks with the blues for a wow dessert. Birds are the main pest affecting blueberries, and netting is really the only solution. Now is a great time to plant blueberries because you will often find a few berries on the plants to give you an indication of the size and flavour. They are truly a wonderful garden treat at this time of year and one of the very best health foods in the world!

If you love blueberries for their wonderful flavour, eat lots and keep eating them because they are one of the best natural health foods we have. At the USDA Human Nutrition Center, they have determined that when compared to 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables, blueberries are number one in antioxidant activity. In other words, they help neutralize harmful by-products of metabolism called ‘free radicals’ which can lead to cancer and many age-related diseases. Anthocyanin, the pigment that creates the blue colour in blueberries, is primarily responsible for the major health benefits. But there’s more! Researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey have found
broad-leaved plants like rhododendrons, Pieris japonica or Viburnum tinus. Treat your blueberry plants more as ornamentals rather than small fruits, and use them as part of your landscaping. One plant by itself looks out of place, but a grouping of three or five, placed close together, blends nicely into any planting. For a real novelty, try a true dwarf variety called ‘Top Hat’. This compact strain seldom grows over 18 inches high and is well suited to bonsai pots. Granted, its flavour is not quite the same as some of the commercial varieties, but its fruit still tastes good on cereal or over ice cream. A more flavourful low variety is the cute little ‘Brunswick’ that only grows six to eight inches high and two feet wide and is quite at home planted in a bed of heathers or dwarf conifers. Most blueberry varieties fall into early, mid or late season classifications. With our

Secondary Characters is rehearsing for a production of ‘You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown’ based on the much-loved Charles Schultz comic strip. The musical gives audiences a glimpse into a day-in-the-life of some well-etched characters, said director Andrew Smith. Everyday issues explored in Charlie Brown comics are still relevant today.

“They’re basic questions like ‘Where’s my dinner? Why don’t I get any valentines? Why can’t we win a baseball game?’” With upbeat music, a cartooninspired set, and a witty script, it’s an entertaining production for kids and adults alike. “It was fun researching the original comics from the ‘50 and ‘60s,” said Smith. “It’s also been a treat to watch actors play and develop the show. It’s a chance to reexamine some classic characters that everyone loves.” Do they stand up to the test of time? “Absolutely,” he enthuses.

They are out to bring stellar shows and productions to Chilliwack that a city this size simply wouldn’t otherwise see. The new 2011-2012 Season was proudly unveiled yesterday by the Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society and Cultural Centre executive director Michael Cade. “It’s going to be a fantastically exciting season,” he gushed. Up on deck are no less than 21 “brilliant” performances from theatre and dance, to kids’ shows and a classical music series. “The goal was to make sure the Chilliwack community has the widest range of performance experiences possible,” said Cade. There are also four blockbuster special presentations scheduled. To mark the centre’s first anniversary, The Irish Rovers’ will hit town with their Home in Ireland show on Oct. 1. The Cultural Centre is

partnering with the Chilliwack Academy of Music to offer a special classical music series, geared to complementing existing symphony offerings in Chilliwack. “We’re concentrating on smaller chamber performances with this special series in
the Rotary Hall Studio Theatre, with its intimate atmosphere.” One of the special presentations for those who like to laugh is The Ultimate Comedy Show with the hysterical Roman Danylo as the host of a side-splitting evening of sketch, stand-up and improv
comedy. “One of the most exciting events in February will be the arrival of the National Ballet of Cuba,” said Cade. Not necessarily the show, which will be a treat, but the fact that the last date on their

Second season announced for Cultch
EXPERIENCE
SEASON from p28 tour will be in Chilliwack. Dancers will be joined by more arriving dancers who will be rehearsing here for the production of Don Quixote at the Queen Elizabeth in Vancouver. “To make it even better, it’s on Valentine’s Day.” Back by popular demand by fans of standup comedy will be, I Am Woman! Hear Me Laff! celebrating International Women’s Day in March with an all-female line-up. Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story is a rock and roll tribute production shedding light on the music and tragic life of the musician is more than a tribute show.
The Soundbar will make you feel you are in a room full of speakers, without seeing them.
It’s a fully scripted piece with a full band and more by the Arts Club Theatre of Vancouver, Cade said. “It was sold-out for its entire Vancouver run,” he said. All the shows are now listed on the Cultch website at www. chilliwackculturalcentre.ca. “One of the things with our website is if you see a show you like you can call and order tickets over the phone, or click a button for online sales.” There’s an online app for smart phones called Ticket Trove where you find the closest venue and it lets you know what’s playing there. “It offers the service from wherever you are in North America,” he said.

Naughty by Nature is a Grammy-winning group from East Orange, New Jersey formed in 1989 by Treach, Vin Rock, and the DJ Kay Gee. They were considered one of the few acts able to balance success on the pop charts, while maintaining hardcore rap credibility. The group’s first hit “O.P.P.” sampled the Jackson 5 hit “ABC” and was off the selftitled first album. The song peaked at #6 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it

Agri-Food Centre opens doors to the public for anniversary Celebrating 125 years of advancing agricultural science Are you curious about food and agriculture? Do berries bowl you over? If so, circle July 23 on your calendar. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pacific Agri-Food Centre (PARC) in Agassiz is celebrating an important anniversary that day. This year marks 125 years since the first five research farms, including PARCAgassiz, were created under what was then called the Department of Agriculture. The public is invited to attend this free event between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. and explore the links between science and farming through interactive tours, exhibits and activities. Find out how PARC-Agassiz is contributing to modern agriculture by helping the sector produce healthier, safer, higher quality, more environmentally-sustainable and abundant food for Canadians. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Over the last 125 years, Canadian agriculture has changed dramatically and so have our research activities,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. Sankaran KrishnaRaj, PARCAgassizâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Research Manager. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Centre is a unique mix of modern state-of-the-art research facilities interspersed in 310 hectares of history.â&#x20AC;? Research at the Centre covers a wide range of areas, including crop production systems, berry breeding, integrated pest management, poultry genetic resources, animal welfare, and soil, water and air quality. The open house will feature interactive exhibits, research

Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll see how we are using high tech equipment to study animal behaviour and improve the health and welfare of dairy cattle. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet our research technicians, farmhands, biologists, and scientists. You can tempt your tastebuds with fresh berries. earn about the growth and development of poultry and learn about tiny critters, fungi and bacteria and the roles they play in agriculture. Visitors can also browse historical displays or stroll around the Centreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s arboretum, which was first established in the 1890s.
Representatives from several industry groups will also be on site to share information about the Fraser Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s key agriculture sectors, as well as goodies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very proud of the work we do at the Centre,â&#x20AC;? says Dr. KrishnaRaj. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to bring more agricultural awareness to the public, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very pleased to host this special day and showcase what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing for Canadians.â&#x20AC;? There will be two cake cutting ceremonies during the day, first at 11 a.m. and again at 1 p.m. Historical notes: â&#x20AC;˘ On June 2, 1886,
the first five research farms were created under the Department of Agriculture when the Experimental Farm Station Act received Royal Assent. â&#x20AC;˘ All five research farms still exist today â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 125 years later â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and are located in Agassiz (British Columbia), Indian Head (Saskatchewan), Brandon (Manitoba), Ottawa (Ontario) and Nappan (Nova Scotia). â&#x20AC;˘ Some of the original farms have expanded to become full research centres, and new centres, farms and stations have opened across the country to support the diverse growing regions in Canada.

Do you want to lose weight, tone up, and transform your body but feel like the odds are Tanja against SHAW you? If so, you are not alone. The desire to lose weight is
the number one reason people start an exercise program or diet. If your goal is to have a fit and lean physique, read on to make sure you are not making these common body transformation mistakes. Mistake #10: Blaming something or someone else for the way you are.

your meals in restaurants. You have a slow metabolism. You don’t have time to exercise. In order for you to be successful in changing your body, you must take responsibility for yourself and your actions. It’s easy to blame something or someone else for the way you are- but it’s not going to help you fit back into your skinny jeans.
Diets work – for a short while. Conventional diets can slow your metabolism and are often too restrictive to maintain for any length of time. Any form of calorie restriction will cause weight loss- but most diets cannot be maintained for life. Unfortunately, the majority of people who diet and lose weight gain the weight back, and more, within a year. Instead of going on a diet, follow a healthy eating plan that you can maintain for the rest of your life. If you are on a short term restrictive diet to kick start your weight loss, make sure you have a healthy eating plan to follow to maintain your goal weight.
Mistake #9: Not believing you can.
I have met many people plagued with self-doubt. People who don’t believe in themselves say “I will try” rather than simply “I will”. If you have tried and failed before in an attempt to lose weight, it can be difficult to believe that change is possible. Henry Ford said it best: “Whether you believe you can, or you can’t you are right”. Transforming your body is possible- if you believe in yourself.
Nearly half of wildfires in British Columbia are caused by human carelessness. Please prevent and report wildfires. To report a wildfire, call *5555 on your cell. For more information, visit www.BCforestfireinfo.gov.bc.ca
Mistake #7: No accountability.
Very few people can make permanent lifestyle changes without being accountable to someone else. If you want to experience success, find someone to hold you accountable to your workouts and eating plan. Have that person review your food

How often do you lie to yourself? “It doesn’t count if I only eat the broken crackers”, “I walked a lot today – I don’t need to exercise” or “my diet is pretty good; I don’t know why I am not losing weight”. Be honest with yourself! Just like blaming others for the way you are, lying to yourself might make you feel better, but it won’t help you shrink your waistline!

Pitcher among the best in the west Jessica Peters The Observer
Agassiz native Brendon Donegan has made a name for himself playing fastpitch with the Chilliwack Vipers. JESSICA PETERS/ BLACK PRESS
They say that the western provinces have the strongest fastpitch teams in Canada. If that’s true, then it’s players like Brendon Donegan who are making it so. The 14-year-old pitcher from Agassiz is already chucking them across the plate at 65 miles per hour. And with skills like that, you’d think he would be on the mound through most every game. But he’s not. When he plays within his age level, on the Chilliwack Vipers peewee A team, it wouldn’t make for a fair and even game. So, he plays short stop, pitching only for two innings. And then there’s his other team, the Bantam A Vipers. There, he’s still throwing above the average speed, despite being one or two years younger than his teammates. When he steps to mound for Team BC at the 2011 Western
Canada Games, he’ll be their starting pitcher. He’ll also be the team’s youngest player, if not the youngest player in the entire competition. Donegan cracked the roster earlier this year, following a series of rigorous tryouts, beating out players two years his senior from across the province. He’ll be among friends at the Games, as three other Vipers have been chosen for the 14-man team: Filip Horak, Ryan Kaplanis and Parker Hendsbee. That would come as no surprise to those who follow the Vipers closely. Donegan’s bantam A team just brought home silver from provincials in Fleetwood, and last year they made it through the season with just one loss. Donegan says he’s excited to be pitching in the Western Canada Games, under the watchful eye of coach Jim Ullock. When he tried the position three years ago, he took an instant liking to it. “You have control of
what’s happening on the field,” he says. While Donegan used to play ball in Agassiz, there is no longer a youth team operating here. And though he loves to put on his Vipers uniform, both Donegan and his dad Jeff say they’d love to see a resurgence of local youth sports. “Baseball is year round for us,” his dad says. Sports, not just fastpitch, play an important role in their lives. Donegan competes in track and field with times comparable to national levels, and competes in sports where he goes to school, at St. Jean Brebeuf in Abbotsford. But the teen admits that his time on the field leaves little time for any other hobbies. “I play a lot of baseball,” he says with a smirk. The Western Canada Games run August 5 to 10, and fans can follow Team B.C.’s progress by visiting www. softball.bc.ca. news@ahobserver.com
Basketball Cascades land stateside recruits Monagle adds to the Cascades’ depth in the post, which was an issue last season after starting big men Jasper Moedt and Kyle Grewal suffering seasonending knee injuries. With Monagle in the fold, and with Moedt and Grewal set to return, the UFV squad is in much better shape heading into the fall. Monagle led Montana Tech in scoring (16 points per game) and rebounding
(7.4) in 2008-09, while shooting 59.6 per cent from the field. “People who have watched us play over the past few years know we’ve been a perimeter-based team, and we’ve done so out of necessity,” Craddock said. “Josh starts to give us that look we haven’t had here – that inside, back-to-the-basket presence. He’s going to draw a lot of attention down there.”

With Zeon Gray, the Cascades’ starting point guard the past two seasons, departing to pursue professional opportunities in Europe, York’s addition was also essential. He averaged 7.3 points and 3.3 assists per game at Montana Tech in 2008-09. “He’s a real strong guard,” Craddock said of York. “He distributes the ball well, and he’s a heady player.” Monagle and York round
out Craddock’s six-member recruiting class. Previously announced recruits include recent Yale Secondary grad Jordan Blackman; point guard Klaus Figueiredo, a transfer from Northern Alber ta Institute of Technology in Edmonton; 6’5” post Luke Braund, a transfer from Trinity Western; and Mike James, a 6’6” centre who’s transferring from the University of Winnipeg.

Both players – 6’6” post Josh Monagle and 6’1” point guard James York – are former members of the Montana Tech basketball program (NAIA), both are heading into their fourth year of eligibility, and both fill major needs for the Cascades.

The Chilliwack Huskers have been practicing for more than three weeks. This weekend, they finally, they get to hit someone other than their own teammates, travelling to Prince George for a preseason game against Kamloops. The B.C. Football Conference is considering the possibility of putting a team in PG in the not-too-distant future, and the preseason game is a way to gauge fan interest. For several Huskers, the game is a homecoming. Chilliwack head coach Luke Acheson has made a point of recruiting in Prince George since taking over the Huskers after the 2009 season. The Huskers went 0-2 against Kamloops last year. Chilliwack lost 26-13 at home Aug. 7 and 26-3 the following week in Kamloops. The Broncos are the BCFC’s newest team, coming in as an expansion squad in 2007. The Huskers host the Westshore (Victoria) Rebels at Exhibition Stadium July 31, with kickoff at 2 p.m.
