WTE approval: ‘Their worst nightmare come true’: Les Robert Freeman The Progress Chilliwack MLA John Les lambasted the B.C. environment minister’s decision to approve incineration of garbage by Metro Vancouver, and warned that the people of the Fraser Valley won’t stand for it. “I think the minister’s approval is regrettable and wrong,” Les said in a telephone interview Tuesday. But he added that there are many steps yet between the minister’s approval and the construction of any waste-to-energy incineration sites in the region. “Obviously, people in the Fraser Valley will be MLA John Les fully engaged every step of the way,” he said. “The people of the Fraser Valley will be their (Metro Vancouver’s) worst nightmare come true.” Opposition by Fraser Valley residents - and the B.C. government at the time - was largely behind the defeat of the Sumas II natural gasfired energy plant in Sumas, Washington. The minister’s approval comes with conditions for “consultation” by Metro Vancouver with the Fraser Valley Regional District before any sites are approved. But Les called that “cold comfort” given Metro Vancouver’s past record of consultation with FVRD officials and at public meetings held in the Fraser Valley. “I don’t put a lot of faith in the consultation (by) Metro Vancouver,” he said. “To them, consultation is holding a meeting, and then doing what they want anyway.” Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner, a former environment minister and currently Attorney-General, was less critical of his fellow cabinet minister’s decision. “I’ve spoken to (Terry) Lake many times and I’ve always repeated the message that I don’t want to see our air quality negatively impacted in the Fraser Valley,” Penner said in a voicemail to The Progress.

Erik Stephany, 16, is a local magician who busks at Salish Park nearly every morning, depending on the weather. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Buskers to draw downtown crowds Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Busker Erik Stephany could hardly wait to bring his magic act to the streets of downtown Chilliwack. Dressed in a lab coat, oversized sun glasses and a bike helmet, he was doing his thing yesterday as Dr. Magicals, a “magically entertaining” character he created. “Has anyone seen my invisible dog?” he mugged for the wide-eyed crowd of kids gathered at Salish Park. Several were mesmerized by his schtick, and dropped coins into the black hat at the end of the show. The 16-year-old performer is one of only three acts that applied this spring to be part

of the city’s brand-new 2011 street entertainment program. The pilot program for buskers was approved by Chilliwack council in April and runs until October. Street performers pay $40 for a seasonal permit that allows them to perform in four-hour shifts at one of the three locations: Salish Park, Central Community Park and under the Clock Tower at Five Corners. Stephany is trying to earn enough money through busking this summer to take him to the Canada’s Got Talent auditions in Vancouver on Sept. 19-20. “It’s been really fun so far,” he explained. He heads out to Salish Park

most mornings for 10 a.m. and then hits Central Community Park in the afternoon. “It gives me a chance to perfect my routines, and watch people’s reactions,” said Stephany. Rather than sitting around and waiting to be booked for birthday parties, he figured he could get a busking permit, go out and greet his audiences on the streets. He’s been plucking items out of midair with some sleight of hand ever since. But getting enough foot traffic is the key to really making it. “In big cities, it’s the tourists you want to attract since it means a fresh crowd every time. But in Chilliwack we hardly have any tourists, and

they’re not found in just one location.” So how are his audience driven revenues going? “It’s going pretty well. I’m not making as much as I originally thought I would. But when people see my show, they often throw a handful of change or a bill in.” It’s been like a good testing ground for the teenage performer. “I’ve seen how some magicians make their living in places like Montreal, Vancouver and Ottawa, by performing in the street,” he said. “There were some amazing performers doing it. “I decided I wanted to get out there myself and perform for the community of Chilliwack.”

Chilliwack teenager wins ‘thrill of a lifetime’ Katie Bartel The Progress When Lynden Voth found a Fed Ex package on his front step informing him he’d won a trip to anywhere, he thought it was scam. “I was so close to ripping it up and throwing it in to the recycling,” he said. “I thought here we go again with another fake scam telling me I’d won another trip. I thought for sure there had to be a catch.” No catch. Voth, 19, was one

of six Canadians, and the only one in B.C., to win the Thrill of a Lifetime Giveaway, sponsored by CUETS Financial. Voth was automatically entered into the contest after applying for the new Choice Rewards MasterCard through the Envision Credit Union on Luckakuck on his 19th birthday. The fact the package had a logo of Envision on the front saved him from throwing an adventure of a lifetime in the trash. “Envision’s been really good to

me,” said Voth, who’s had a membership since he was 15. “I’ve got nothing but good things to say about Envision.” The Thrill of a Lifetime contest, really is a thrill of a lifetime. Voth can take on any adventure up to $5,000 he so desires. Cooking classes in Italy, paragliding in Bali, driving a race car at the Indy 500 are all up for grabs. “Just crazy things, stuff that I would never have got to do in my life otherwise,” said Voth, a labourer for the city.

And if he didn’t see anything on the long list of suggestions provided, he could opt to choose his own adventure. When contacted by The Progress last week, Voth was leaning towards something tropical, maybe exploring Paradise Island in the Bahamas, or going on a deep sea marlin fishing trip anywhere from Hawaii to Portugal despite not being an avid fisherman. “It just sounds really cool,” he said. “I like it because it’s tropical ... we don’t get a summer here, so

Masahiro Moro (centre), head of global sales and marketing for Mazda, checks out the lines of the “brand new” 1995 Mazda RX7 twin turbo, while on a tour of the new Wolfe Chilliwack Mazda dealership Tuesday. Moro was visiting from Japan with other North American Mazda reps to officially open the dealership. To boot, Moro got to check out the sports car that he had a hand in designing. This vehicle has an interesting history. Not only does it have a mere 200 test miles on it, but it was originally purchased by the owner of a Mazda dealership in Florida where it was kept in storage. Years later, Mike Hacquard, co-owner of Chilliwack Mazda, found it for sale on eBay and purchased it. The car lived in Langley for a while until it moved out to Chilliwack when the new dealership opened. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – Elections BC is keeping its call centre open until midnight Friday, the deadline for B.C. residents to register and request a voting package for the harmonized sales tax referendum. The call centre at 1-800-661-8683 has been operating from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. to handle requests from people who didn’t receive their personalized voting package in the mail. That was extended to 10 p.m. Thursday and midnight Friday in

an effort to handle the volume of requests. Elections BC has been kept busy with requests from people who weren’t registered as B.C. voters, have moved or otherwise had incorrect information on the voters’ list, or lost their packages after delivery. A few of the three million voting packages mailed in recent weeks have had errors in printing or missing elements. All voters who contact the call centre up to the deadline will be registered, even if they are kept waiting on hold until after mid-

A Chilliwack woman who stabbed a man during a domestic dispute last Sunday is now officially charged with aggravated assault, not attempted murder. Glenna Darlene Joe, 31, was arrested at an apartment in the 5800-block Vedder Road in connection with the stabbing of her live-in boyfriend. The victim, a 47-year-old Chilliwack man, remains in hospital in serious condition. Police said the man was stabbed in the abdomen at about 3:30 p.m. and was taken by ambulance to Chilliwack General Hospital where he underwent surgery before transferred to the Peace Arch Hospital in White Rock. Joe remains in custody until a July 28 bail hearing in Chilliwack provincial court.

Stabbing brings aggravated assault charge

OF CAR AND DESIGNER

Three men charged Chilliwack RCMP say they busted a “very active crack shack” last week in the 9300block Fletcher Street. Three Chilliwack men, age 19, 20 and 21, were arrested when police officers from the Crime Reduction Unit (CRU) and the Criminal Intelligence Section (CIS) executed a search warrant at about 3:20 p.m. July 20. Several weapons were located at the residence, and about 82 grams of cocaine and about eight grams of heroin, along with marijuana, hash butter and some yet-to-be-identified pills. Police said some of the drugs were individually packaged, apparently intended for re-sale. Police estimated the street value of the cocaine at $8,200 and the heroin at $1,500. The weapons included a touch stun taser, swords, knives, bear spray, a baseball bat and a baton. Numerous cellphones were also found, along with $2,000 in cash, weigh scales and a shift schedule. The three men arrested were released on a promise to appear in court on Nov. 22. They were also given conditions not to possess cellphones or weapons, not to communicate with each other, and to abstain from returning to the residence. One of the men had an outstanding warrant. The police investigation continues.

I’ve got to go somewhere to get some sun right.” Voth has until Dec. 31, 2011 to book the trip and Dec. 31, 2012 to go on the trip. In addition to winning the trip, $2,500 will also be donated in Voth’s name to Make a Wish Canada, an organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening conditions. The purpose of the contest was a way for credit unions to give back to their members.

night, Elections BC spokesman Don Main says. Phone registration takes three to five minutes per caller. NDP MLA Maurine Karagianis sent a letter to Elections BC Thursday asking for faster response from the phone service. She said MLAs around the province are hearing from constituents that they can’t get through. Karagianis also urged acting Chief Electoral Officer Craig James to stop disqualifying ballot envelopes where voters have mixed up the numbers in their date of birth.

To be eligible, each ballot must be received in an envelope that bears the signature and date of birth of the voter. After a labour dispute at Canada Post delayed distribution, Elections BC extended its deadline for receiving completed ballots until Aug. 5 at 4:30 p.m. Mail delivery takes between three and seven days, with longer delivery times for northern and remote locations. Ballots can also be dropped off at Service BC offices around the province.

Weed-choked Hope slough to get some breathing space Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Make it stop. Take the prevention program | littlewarriors.ca

The Hope Slough was historically navigable by canoe according to local legend, but it’s been choked with canary reed grass for years. A five-km section of the upper Hope Slough in Rosedale is on deck to be cleared this summer as part of the city’s 2011 open drainage maintenance program. It’s the worst section for weeds, and fertilizerladen agricultural runoff is one of the major culprits. The lack of riparian cover and invasive species taking over the waterway are other factors. “The plan is to open a channel that’s five or six metres wide to allow for better water conveyance,” said Neil Calver, city assistant operations manager, at the last council meeting. The aim of the project, which was still pending DFO authorization at press time, is to substantially increase water flow and allow fish passage by removing the weed mats.

The removal of five kilometres of canary reed grass, which is choking sections of the Hope Slough, is awaiting authorization to begin next week. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Calver said a similar project was carried out on Atchelitz Creek, which was subsequently considered “pristine” with fruitful habitat cre-

ated after the work was completed. The Hope Slough clearing work could start as early as next week. The proposed

stretch of the upper slough starts near the corner of Yale Road East and Nevin Road, and travels east, following the snaking waterway northeast from there to Bustin Road. But the process of getting project approvals just became “more complicated,” this year, said Calver, referring to the addition of another approving agency, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency. City officials complied with this additional screening process “as part of its ongoing commitment to effective and environmentally responsible drainage maintenance,” according to the staff report. Doing maintenance work in fish-bearing watercourses now triggers the new requirement for CEAA approval. This year’s open drainage maintenance program proposal is for 20 kilometres of work in non-fish bearing streams, and another 38 kilometres in fish-bearing watercourses. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Colder, wetter spring affects charity crops Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The second drop-off of the year for Plant A Row Grow A Row folks is Saturday afternoon in the Cottonwood Mall south parking lot. It’s anybody’s guess how much volunteergrown produce will be going to the local food bank given the dreadful spring and summer

weather. But program coordinator Alanna Clempson of Food Matters Chilliwack has been telling volunteer growers “not to worry” if they don’t have enough produce yet. Everything’s been delayed by the slower, wetter and colder start to the season, she says. Everyone is still welcome to stop by between

1 p.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday, July 30. “Come by and share your successes thus far over a warm beverage or an apple cider!” says Clempson. They’ll also be there for folks again next month, in the same spot in the mall parking lot, on Aug. 27. This weekend’s dropoff also coincides with a garden harvest swap

where local garden enthusiasts will be trading and swapping any excess veggies they may have produced in their gardens to date. The garden harvest swap was initiated because “we value quality, homegrown produce and want to provide an opportunity for locals to fill the gaps of the things they didn’t plant, as well as not waste the excess of the produce they did,” Clempson explains. At the same time volunteers will be collecting, washing, weighing, and recording donations from Plant A Row growers, that will be later delivered to the Chilliwack Salvation Army Food Bank to feed the hungry.

News Metro Vancouver ‘committed to collaboration,’ says Jackson METRO from Front “At the same time, it’s important to stress (the approval) doesn’t mean an actual project to incinerate garbage has been approved,” Penner said. “Given the financial challenges already facing Metro Vancouver,” he added, which includes the cost of required sewage treatment facilities and the Evergreen Transit line, “it’s hard to imagine them taking on yet another expensive and risky project at this time.” FVRD chair Patricia Ross and Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz earlier reacted angrily to the minister’s announcement. “We have undertaken three years of world-wide research looking at the best of WTE technology, and there’s none of them acceptable in this airshed,” Ross said. Gaetz said if the environment minister hoped to “placate” the Fraser Valley with promises of consultation “we are not placated.” “We are angry and frustrated,” she said. “We are opposed to incineration, period.” At a FVRD board meeting Tuesday night, Ross repeated her disappointment with the minister’s ruling, but added that talks continue with Metro Vancouver officials. Gwen O’Mahony, a former NDP election candidate, said waste-to-

energy incineration facilities, which also produce electricity, are not acceptable in the fragile Fraser Valley airshed, “but there’s a larger issue.” “There’s a deficit of leadership,” she said. “We need to have a change of leadership, period. She called the consultation meetings Metro Vancouver held last year in Fraser Valley communities “a sham” because the decision was already made to use the WTE method to incinerate garbage rather than truck it to a landfill in Cache Creek. O’Mahony said she is “sick and tired” of seeing the public interest sacrificed to “the great god - the economy.” “We are going to be told WTE is good for us, and good for the economy,” she said. Lois Jackson, chair of the Metro Vancouver board, said in a news release that the region is “committed to collaboration” with the Fraser Valley, and that the new solid waste management plan deals with the million tonnes of garbage that cannot be recycled. “This is a plan that protects the environment and also generates revenue that will help pay for the things we need to safely and responsibly manage our garbage,” she said. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Limited Time

Repairs will close Keith Wilson SPECIAL LEASE OFFER Only at Mertin GM Bridge for just under a month The Progress The Keith Wilson Bridge is about to undergo a major repair because of settlement and cracking issues on the bridge deck — among other problems. The construction and repair work is set to start on Aug. 2, according to Rod Sanderson, manager of transportation and drainage for City of Chilliwack. The approach asphalt has also deteriorated, and there’s underside damage to concrete bulkheads at the steel girder ends. Abutment walls will have to be excavated and rebuilt at both ends. As a result Keith Wilson Road and the bridge will be closed at the Vedder Canal for about a month until Aug. 30.

Join the discussion...

City of ficials are recommending alternate routes for motorists including using Highway 1 or Yarrow during the bridge closure. Find more details at www.chilliwack.com The bridge repair was designed by Morrison Hershfield

Ltd. and features new concrete retaining walls at the bridge ends and a new expansion joint. The tender for the Keith Wilson Bridge Abutment Rehabilitation project went to Coquitlam Ridge Constuctors in

the amount of $234,364, and the funding is contained in the 2011 budget for the work. The bridge is expected to be reopened prior to the start of the school year in September.

WWII documents found Chilliwack RCMP are hoping to locate the owner of some WWII memorabilia found on the west side of Promontory mountain on June 27. A Certificate of Qualification as First Pilot and a Fighter Command Layout from July, 1940 are two of the documents turned in to the Chilliwack RCMP detachment on June 28. “We are hoping that someone will be able to identify these items so we can return them to the rightful owner,” said RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth. “These items are too unique to be destroyed, and we believe that are special to someone,” she said. The owner of the documents can pick them up at the RCMP detachment.

R AESIDE

Waste debate heats up If Metro Vancouver politicians were hoping time would soften the eastern Fraser Valley’s opposition to their incineration plans, they were mistaken. On Monday, provincial environment minister Terry Lake granted conditional approval to Metro Vancouver’s waste reduction plan. Politicians here wasted little time reiterating points made time and time again: The introduction of any new source of pollution into this airshed is unacceptable. Chilliwack city council and the Fraser Valley Regional District were united in their condemnation. Even Chilliwack MLA John Les took the rare step of criticizing a fellow sitting Liberal for granting approval. Metro Vancouver, meanwhile, remains unapologetic. Part of an overall scheme to deal with the estimated 1.3 million tonnes of garbage generated annually by Metro Vancouver, incineration will deal with the 500,000 tonnes that can’t be recycled, diverted or buried in its existing landfill in Delta. Heat generated by the incineration process will be used to create energy, providing a revenue stream that Metro Van hopes will offset some of the costs of its ambitious waste reduction plan. What remains uncertain is what technology the region will employ to incinerate its garbage. But it argues that the options that are out there are significantly cleaner than incinerators of the past. It points to examples in Europe, and elsewhere in North America. They are arguments Chilliwack has heard before. “We have undertaken three years of world-wide research looking at the best of WTE technology, and there’s none of them acceptable in this airshed,” said FVRD chair Patricia Ross. Metro Vancouver is promising more consultations and more discussions. But it will take more than talk to overcome the suspicion and cynicism that has become a by-product of this debate. It will take hard evidence. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

B.C. V IEWS

HST horror stories begin to fade away VICTORIA – The B.C. government has released its audited public accounts for what Bill Vander Zalm enthusiasts strain to depict as Year One of the Harmonized Sales Tax Apocalypse. So let’s survey this allegedly bleak landscape of shuttered hair salons and seniors hoarding pet food, waiting for Belgian bureaucrats to come calling for more. Retail sales increased 5.3 per cent in 2010. Growth has softened so far this year, but there’s no evidence it’s due to the HST. (Retail sales are mostly goods, which are mostly unaffected.) B.C.’s economy grew by four per cent, third in Canada behind those new nor thern tigers Saskatchewan and Newfoundland. We beat Alberta as well as havenot Ontario. The provincial deficit dropped by nearly a billion dollars, even though spending on government services continued its relentless

rise with another billion-dollar increase. That’s four per cent spending growth, the same as the growth rate of the economy. But as usual, two thirds of it is health-care spending, growing closer to twice that fast. Hair salons? My barber voted No to Vander Zalm. His accounting is simpler, his price Tom is still reasonable FLETCHER and customers aren’t generally prepared to start cutting their own hair. Restaurant association head Ian Tostenson predicted thousands of restaurants would close because of HST, and then mused about running for premier. Fortunately, we were spared from both of these scenarios. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon

put out some spin about how tight-fisted spending control brought the deficit down from the 10-figure range. Prudence, he called it. Prune juice is more like it. It was economic growth that paid the bills, with mills and mines opening and consumers spending. Former premier Bill Bennett’s obser vation still applies: B.C. is a small, open resource economy in a volatile world market. Commodity markets have strengthened to the point where even the rising Canadian dollar is being overcome. Expansion to Asia is proceeding, assisted by a long-term federal-provincial strategy that the NDP opposed. A skilled labour shortage already exists in the B.C. northeast and is forecast to spread across the province. The government’s latest labour market sur vey estimates that

B.C. will be in a labour shortage by 2016, and there will be one million job openings by 2020. One third of these will come from economic growth, two thirds from retiring baby boomers. Unlike next year’s HST revenues, this prediction is relatively easy to make with precision. Job growth does depend, however, on a competitive tax environment, with competition from Ontario and elsewhere. The public accounts also confirm what we found out last fall, that HST revenues have run ahead of expectations. HST haters like to claim the tax was promised to be revenue neutral. That finance ministry estimate was only for the first year, and it proved pessimistic. As with gasoline prices, external forces drown out B.C. tax adjustments in the short term. Currently it looks as if going back to the old provincial sales

tax will cost the treasury about $600 million in revenue in each of the next few years. HST rate cuts are made up by economic growth. Or we can return to a 60-yearold retail sales tax developed for a post-war, pre-ser vice economy, and continue a B.C. political debate that revolves around 30-year-old socialist ideology. The deficit will immediately jump back up to the 10-digit range. So if your HST referendum envelope is still in the bottom of your recycling bin, you might consider fishing it out and casting a No vote. They have to be delivered to Elections BC by Aug. 5.

Ensuring ‘responsible’ salmon farming Re: Wild salmon meeting at Skwah, July 21, 2011 Protecting wild salmon is an important issue – one that incites deep passion in many people. Sometimes in that passion though, information can be overlooked. With that in mind, we wanted to add some clarification around a few items in “Wild salmon meeting at Skwah”, July 21, 2011. It’s important for the public to know that fish on our farms are monitored and tested regularly by both the industry and our government regulators. Results of that fish health testing is reviewed and posted publicly:

and have shown for many years that our fish are healthy and that there have been no incidences of exotic disease. As farmers, it is obviously important that our crop is healthy – and this is just one way that we make sure it is. As participants in the Cohen Commission we have striven to provide Justice Bruce Cohen and counsel with requested information so that we can contribute to the large and complex topic that he is reviewing. The terms of reference for this inquiry state clearly that it is to investigate without seeking blame – and it’s a principle that we support in regards to the many activities

and conditions he is to review as possible factors in the Sockeye’s lifecycle. We want to emphasize that – unlike the decision this news story leads with – this discussion is not about choosing wild or farmed salmon. It’s about ensuring that farming is done in a responsible manner so that we can have both into the far future. That’s important to all coastal British Columbians, salmon farmers included.

and everyone else that owns a home or business in Harrison Hot Springs. We like having tourists come and visit our village, therefore we don’t charge them to do so. Duck feces, seriously this is what you have to complain about? You do know that they are wild birds

right? Did you enjoy the beautiful scenery, the renovations to the beachfront that we pay for in our taxes, so that you can enjoy them for free? Furthermore, you have the nerve to bash the event planner for the Harrison Festival of the Arts! Another

free venue with an organizer that is probably a volunteer. You should be ashamed of yourself! Honestly, give your head a shake. This is the most petty complaint I have read in years! Brenda Stewart, Harrison Hot Springs

BC Ferries is offering refunds for assured-loading passes that have expired. BC Ferries CEO David Hahn announced Tuesday that the company will provide a one-time refund to customers who purchased assured loading tickets between 1984 and July 25, 2011. For a 90-day period, from today to October 24, 2011, BC Ferries will provide a one-time cash refund to any customer who has an expired assured loading ticket. BC Ferries phased out printed passes for assured loading last year and enforced a two-year expiry that canceled about 15,000 trips that had been paid for. The move sparked protests and efforts to organize a class-action lawsuit to recover the money. Hahn said even if customers no longer have their expired assured loading tickets, if they can produce the credit card that purchased them, refunds can be arranged.

Perspectives

When the mind plays tricks on us self, a family member or your child fortune telling? First off we have to recognize it (the irrational reaction and the stressful situation that led to it) and then we want to replace it (with a fair and realistic and rational thought). A global replacement thought might be: “I don’t know what the future will bring but I am managing right now.” Anchors us in the present, and reminds us of the truth. This past week I kept track of the Fortune Teller thought errors that came up during sessions with clients (beside each one is the replacement thought my clients came up with).

objectivity. The Fortune Telling Error is when we anticipate that things will turn out badly and feel convinced that our prediction is an alreadyestablished fact. When we assume that we know what Eryn will happen WICKER in the future, based upon little or no evidence, we’re fortune telling. Sometimes we even try to predict an outcome when there’s evidence to the contrary. Fortune Telling can take many forms, sometimes it starts with a “What if” - these types of thoughts relate to feelings of somehow not being able to cope or manage in the future.

In his last column, Dr. Rob Lees provided an overview to our summer series on Cognitive Distortions; this week’s finds us exploring the first one in more detail: Fortune Telling. Cognitive distortions, thought errors, or as I often tell the kids I work with, “Sometimes when our feelings are too high our thinking goes a little wonky and we say things to ourselves in our head or out loud that might not be true.” But whichever way you say it, it’s the same thing: Everything we think is an automatic thought because our minds seek to narrate what is going on around us. Problems arise when these thoughts manifest as cognitive distortions. Although based on deeply ingrained core beliefs they are still our mind playing tricks on us that can distort our perspective and

News Strahl solicits feedback from the public Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The feds are looking for feedback on two major issues facing Canadians. One is just in time for pre-budget 2012 consultations and the other is about substantial changes on deck for the medicinal marijuana program run by Health Canada. Mark Strahl, MP for Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon is reminding locals that the deadlines for submissions about these issues are fast

approaching. “Canada’s economy remains the envy of the developed world but there are still too many Canadians looking for work and there remains much uncertainty in the global economy,” said Strahl in a release. Health Canada is also seeking opinions from Canadians about phasing out MMAR licences that allow patients to grow their own marihuana. Instead they are pushing a vision where commercial operations exclusively are given

licences to grow medical marijuana in non-residential areas, based on recommendations from communities struggling with medical grow-ops in their communities. “These proposals reflect concerns expressed by municipalities and first responders who believe the current system endangers residential neighbourhoods,” explained Strahl.

Hyperhidrosis Question: I have excessive sweating which is interfering with my daily activities. I am afraid to raise my arms in normal situations and I hesitate to buy new clothes because they might be ruined! Is BOTOX® the answer for me? Answer: When excessive underarm sweat gets in the way of your daily activities and antiperspirant no longer works for you, you may be a good candidate for BOTOX® treatment. Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is a medical condition that involves overactive sweat glands. Sweat is the body’s temperature regulator. In severe cases of hyperhidrosis sweating significantly exceeds the body’s normal requirements for cooling. BOTOX® is used to treat this medical condition. The simple procedure consists of injecting a small amount of BOTOX® using a very fine needle. A significant reduction in sweating in the treated areas are noticed within a week and will last an average of 7-8 months. Most 3rd parties will cover the cost of the BOTOX®.

Hydrangeas, next to roses, are perhaps the most common deciduous flowering shrub in West Coast gardens.

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR BACKYARD

irtually every well-tended garden is now going through its summer cycle of colour, but one flowering shrub is preparing to steal the show. Hydrangeas, next to roses, are perhaps the most common deciduous flowering shrub in West Coast gardens. The ‘macrophylla’ or ‘garden hydrangea’ was introduced to England in 1736, and since then, a whole series of beautiful plants have been developed for the home garden. When folks ask me to recommend a good vine for a shady north wall, my first choice is the climbing hydrangea, ‘anomala petiolaris’. This deciduous, fast-growing vine has four inch long, dark, heart-shaped glossy leaves. It has aerial rootlets that cling to virtually anything standing still, and the plant itself will stretch to twenty feet or more, if left untrimmed. Its foliage appears Brian quite early in the spring and lasts MINTER well into the autumn. In my opinion, it almost qualifies as an evergreen vine. The real feature of this attractive vine, however, is its large, flat white flower clusters which grow to six inches across and resemble the lace-cap varieties. This hydrangea is hardy to -25° C. which is surprising because of its lush appearance. It’s a winner in any garden and will tolerate some sun, but the foliage is far richer in a more shaded location. The white flowering hydrangea you see in late summer gardens is most likely one of the many ‘paniculata’ varieties, sometimes known as ‘P.G.’, which is short for ‘paniculata Grandiflora’. You’ve probably seen some in tree forms as many have been grafted that way. It is quite easy to select one strong branch and train it into a tree form. Believe it or not, many of these hydrangeas are Prairie hardy, tolerating temperatures of -40°C. Given time, the plant itself can become almost a tree, stretching up to twenty feet in height, but most folks like to keep them trimmed back to around six feet to conform to most garden situations. Massive, pendulous cone-shaped flowers appear in late July and often last until late September when they take on a reddish-pinkish hue. The foliage of this fine garden plant also turns a rich bronze in fall, so it is a colourful accent in your autumn garden. The newest kid on the block is ‘Limelight’ with pure lime flowers that provide a ‘wow’ accent, before turning cream then pink. ‘Little Lime’ is a more compact form, making it ideal for smaller space gardens. ‘Little Lamb’, also a P.G., grows about 5 ft. x 5 ft. and has masses of small white flowers that look like dancing lambs floating about this compact shrub. ‘Angel’s Blush’ is a relatively new variety that blooms white then immediately turns pink and holds that colour. ‘Pink Diamond’ is very similar, as is ‘Pinky Winky’. ‘Bombshell’ is a brand new dwarf from Ball Ornamentals that grows only 2.5 ft. tall and 3 ft. wide and has more flowers per plant than any other hydrangea. It’s also very long blooming. ‘Lace Cap’ hydrangeas have certainly drawn the Continued: MINTER/ p22

New World Son will be at 8th annual Back to the Blues Festival in the Threshermen’s Village next to Heritage Park.

Back for gospel blues in Chilliwack this weekend Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Organizers have nicknamed it the “best little gospel blues festival west of Chicago.” It’s time for the 8th annual Back to the Blues Festival all weekend at Threshermen’s Village next to Heritage Park. “The festival is all about good music, family time and our charity projects, namely our overseas water-drilling projects,” says B2B organizer Kevin Pentland. Kicking off the music on Friday night is First Born Live from Washington State, then local band Chopped Liver will warm up the crowds for up-and-comers New F I N E

One of the attractions at the event are the “good, old-fashioned” jam sessions on Friday and Saturday nights after the shows, says Pentland. “The jam session are always a big hit with folks,” he says. This year they’re also setting up a second stage, located to the right of the main stage at the gospel blues festival, which runs July 29-31. “We tried this stage out last year and it got great reviews, so we’re bringing it back,” said Pentland. The secondary stage will feature local talent from around the Fraser Valley and Washington

Lots of performers are firsttimers for the Chilliwack event, but many are returning because of the buzz being generated by all the great blues being performed in Chilliwack every summer. One example is Juno-nominated Danny Brooks and the Rockin’ Revelators. “Danny Brooks couldn’t make it last year due to heart surgery, so we’re thrilled he’s able to join us this time around.” The closing night last year saw a moving tribute played by Lee Sanders in Brooks’ honour. Also a last-minute addition for this year will be Thomas McClary, guitarist for Lionel Ritchie and the

part of their Summer Siege Tour. The Vancouver-

based band features a unique sound called the Oboe of Death, and are busy promoting their sophomore album, Of Exile. Formed in the latter half of 2008, Scythia is a five-piece that combines haunting folk melodies with the driving force of modern progressive metal to form a raw and powerful sound. Taking its name from vocalist/guitarist Dave Khanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infatuation with a painting of Nordic/ Russian warriors riding bears while brandishing swords, Scythia not only â&#x20AC;&#x153;gives the painting musical significance,â&#x20AC;? but it is also â&#x20AC;&#x153;the name of an ancient empire spanning from the Caucasus through Russia, and even into eastern Scandinavia. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The melodies used in our music have a

Community Free clinic teaches skateboard skills West 49 is taking the pain out of skateboarding. The retail outlet for â&#x20AC;&#x153;skatersâ&#x20AC;? is hosting a free learn to skateboard event in the parking lot of Cottonwood Mall on Thursday, July 28. The West 49 LRN2SK8 Tour, presented by Disney XD, is a program for beginner skaters, ages five years and up, that gives kids a chance to experience skateboarding in a safe environment with skilled skateboarders all around. The event is being held in the parking lot of Cottonwood Mall in an enclosed mobile skatepark, which includes the Jones Soda Street Course featuring Element Drop Spot Obstacles. Chilliwack is one of 30 stops on the tour, which started on June 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are beyond excited to get this program started and to see kids experiencing skateboarding in this environment,â&#x20AC;? said Cindy Mielke, director of marketing for West 49 Inc.. â&#x20AC;&#x153;West 49 wants to go beyond selling skate gear to kids, we want them to experience skateboarding and get physically active this summer.â&#x20AC;? The learn to skate program is designed to help youth develop confidence and skateboard skills and to provide participants with a legitimate skateboarding experience in a supervised and safe area. From prize giveaways, sampling opportunities and a mobile skate park set up with all the equipment necessary to master skateboarding, the LRN2SK8 program is an opportunity for kids in Chilliwack to access course components such as rails, ledges, ramps and flat bars. The day will end with a graduation ceremony and each skateboarder will receive a certificate for participating and completing the program. The program is free to kids aged five and older. Two sessions are being held, one from 10 a.m. to noon and the other from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. Registration is required. To register, go to www.west49lrn2sk8.com

Huskers versus Rebels as football season starts The Progress It is amazing what a win will do. Even a preseason win has the potential to kickstart a team, which is why Chilliwack Huskers head coach Luke Acheson looked a little more optimistic around the practice field this week. A 19-14 come-frombehind win up in Prince George has the coach and his team believing in themselves as they take on Victoria’s Westshore Rebels Sunday afternoon (2 p.m.) at Exhibition Stadium. “Not getting a taste of that all of last year, some things stick around and nothing cleans the air quite like a win,” Acheson said on Tuesday. “They worked hard. They didn’t stop believing and fighting and I was proud they were able to scratch out a win against a very improved Kamloops team.” The Huskers received some standout individual performances against the Broncos. Quarterback Adann Hendrickson cemented his status as the top pivot, scoring one of the majors while leading his team back from a 14-0 abyss. The 20-year-old Maple Ridge native has been handed the keys to the offence this year,

Jonathan Abril outside or going with youngster Brandon Doig. In a perfect world, Abril (six-foot-eight and 380 pounds) and Gee (six-foot-four and 275 pounds) would stay inside. “There’s three guards in the mix, because Shawn Mellesmoen had a very good game in PG,” Acheson said. “That’s a battle to watch.” Brennan Adrian looks set as the starting center, replacing departed B.C. all-star Mike McLean. If Hendrickson gets time, he should have some playmakers at his

disposal. Acheson thinks the running game is in solid hands with veteran tailback Ben Skerrett, Misha Otanga and Jake McKinnon. “Jake’s a good runner with great hands, a mature kid who is very humble and hard working,” Acheson said. “We’ll put him in position to try and make some plays for us.” When the Huskers go to the air, the primary target will be Adam Leggott. The Saskatoon native finished last season with 33 catches for 410 yards and one touchdown. “He’ll be the leader,

and I’m expecting even bigger things from Adam this year,” Acheson said. Acheson is also excited about local products Cody Parray and Dylan Boykowich. “Both guys are from the Giants, and it’s saved us having some of these kids staying local,” the coach said. “Our other wideout spots aren’t necessarily set in stone, and there’s a battle every week. Right now, Danton Nagorski (Portage la Prairie, Manitoba) is stepping up.” Defensively, Acheson sees a group of playmakers that includes stand-

out linebacker Mike DeCloedt and newcomer Cole Herrmann. A force at the midget level, Herrmann could be the best defensive end in Chilliwack since David Bosch. An experienced secondary includes talented returnees Jayson Bates, Nick Wingfield, Levi Weaver and Andy Bolen. “A rookie I’m really impressed with is Tanner Hamade out of Abbotsford, who’s starting at corner,” Acheson added. “It’ll be trial by fire, but he looks good so far.” As nice as all this sounds, the proof must

come on the field, starting this weekend against a tough and talented Rebels squad. Starting the season with a home-field win would go a long way towards dispelling the ghosts of the 0-10 2010 season. “We’ll look to work hard and continue to improve, set daily goals and be better than we were yesterday,” Acheson summarized. “If we do that, everything else will take care of itself.” Get Huskers info at www.chilliwackhuskers.org.

taking over from departed Clayton Kroeker. Hendrickson has been behind center before, but never as THE guy. “With his athleticism and improvisational skills, we don’t win that game in PG without him,” Acheson said. “He’s not playing any other positions this year, so he’s able to just focus on being a quarterback. He’s working closely with (offensive coordinator) Jon Klyne this year, which has helped him with the reads and progressions. He has a grasp of the offence and knows where we want to go with it. And if things break down, he’s great at making something happen.” How successful he is will largely depend on the supporting cast, starting with the offensive line. Chilliwack’s biggest problem in recent years has been keeping QBs on their feet. Acheson has no one with any experience to back up Hendrickson if he goes down, making the O-line all the more crucial. “They’re more mature, stronger and quicker than last year and I’m hoping that’s one of the areas we’ll be much improved in,” the coach noted. As of Tuesday, veteran Brandon Moore was slated to anchor the line at left tackle, with Greg Paquette on the right side. Paquette sprained his ankle in PG, leaving Acheson to ponder a plan B that might involve moving big guards Tanner Gee or

LAST YEAR SOLD OUT: REGISTER NOW

The Chilliwack Huskers and Kamloops Broncos played a B.C. Football Conference preseason game in Prince George last weekend, showcasing the league for possible expansion. By all accounts the game was a success, but PG Free Press sports editor Alistair McInnis says there’s work to be done to make a BCFC team feasible. Having a franchise in Prince George would boost the B.C. Football Conference. The league could use its existence in B.C.’s Northern Capital to attract more newcomers, expand its schedule and add new business partners. The support exists in the city. Saturday’s atten-

dance wasn’t as high as it could have been (approximately 500, with organizers optimistically saying 700 or 800). But it wasn’t a disappointing turnout either. A team of 50-plus chipped in to help run the event. It’s easy to rave about a one-day event, but bigger issues must be resolved if PG’s bid to land a BCFC expansion franchise is successful. The city’s geography is consistently the biggest hurdle it has to overcome in joining any major junior sports league and that hasn’t changed. Kamloops is the closest BCFC city at 525 clicks away — under normal driving conditions, that’s six hours on the road. The two current squads situated furthest apart, Victoria and Kelowna, are separated by 471 kilometres. Ferry and highway time combined, that’s a six-and-a-half hour trip, minor compared to what would be an

11-hour, 863 kilometre trek from Victoria to Prince George (time and distance figures from the Ministry of Transportation distance calculator). Considering their relative isolation from southern B.C., PG residents pushing for a franchise understand the importance of accommodation arrangements. In a league in which overnight stays are rarely required, payment of hotel bills for visiting teams may have to come out of Prince George wallets. The business proposal they’re preparing to apply in October would have to outline accommodation arrangements and they’d have to be willing to offer a package appealing to the rest of the league. Perhaps only the Broncos would be willing to avoid staying overnight. However, if the two Lower Mainland teams (the Huskers and Langley Rams) and the Kelowna-based

Okanagan Sun are offered hotel arrangements for a night, it’s likely that Kamloops would follow suit. Gathering support from the Island may be hardest of all. Since ferries don’t travel overnight, the Nanaimo Raiders and Victoriabased Westshore Rebels could be looking at two nights of hotel accommodations on trips to Prince George. Organizers have stressed the need for an all-weather field in Prince George, something that may seem more realistic if they land a BCFC franchise. Prince George has a few more months to put together its proposal. In the meantime, they can gather feedback from the league on ways to strengthen their bid. The league will vote in January. Preparation is critical in processes like this. With a successful bid, the Prince George group plans to enter a team in the BCFC to start competing in 2013.

Oct. 22, 1930 – July 21, 2011 It is with great sadness that we mourn the sudden passing of Ernest (Ernie) McDuff. MCDUFF Ernie was born October 22, 1930 in Irishtown, New Brunswick and was the third of 9 children born to Fran and Forrest McDuff. He is predeceased by mother Fran, father Forrest, brothers Leo and Leonard, sister Theresa, son Richard, and wife Helen. He is survived by brothers Edmund, Ray (Mary), Gerald, Willie (Joanne), sister Bernie and children Debrah, Patricia and Daniel. He was a loving and devoted grandfather to Stephen, Amanda, Candice, Matthew and Torrence and will be sadly missed by them. He also leaves behind to mourn numerous great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews and countless friends. Ernie served in the Canadian Armed Forces from June 15, 1954 to May 12, 1971 leaving to establish his own business, Vedder Upholstery. He later returned to CFB Chilliwack as a civilian and worked as the Base Upholsterer until his retirement in 1995. Ernie also taught courses in Upholstering, Fire Arms Safety and the CORE Program. Ernie was an avid outdoorsman enjoying gardening, biking, ﬁshing and hunting. He was heavily involved in the Chilliwack Fish and Game Club. He also enjoyed traveling extensively with his wife Helen before she became ill. He will be greatly missed by his many friends and family. A Memorial Service will be held on Tuesday, August 2nd, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. at Henderson’s Funeral Home, 45901 Victoria Ave., Chilliwack.

GOERZEN Selma

After a short struggle with cancer, Selma Goerzen passed away peacefully at Chilliwack General Hospital, at the age of GOERZEN 69.

ZIMMERMANN Wolfgang

A very decent, caring man passed away early on July 20, 2011. Wolf was born in Stuttgart, ZIMMERMANN Germany on January, 24, 1948 and came to Canada in 1954. After a 6 year period in the RCAF he came to Chilliwack in the early 1970’s where, for many years he operated Wolf’s Welding on Yale Rd. West, and then Wolf’s Weight Lifting and Body Building Equipment, selling across B.C. and Alberta. He was employed at Aacson on Young Rd. for several years and also worked as a sales rep. for Weldco Welding Supplies. In 1993, Wolf established Sandwolf Enterprises out on Prairie Central Rd. He did work for many of the farms and businesses in the area. Wolf could fix or fabricate almost anything – no job too small, but had to retire due to ill health in 2007. He was a long time member of the Chilliwack Frontiersmen Black Powder organization, where he enjoyed so many good times, and where he met some of his dearest friends. Unfortunately, failing health forced him to withdraw from the travel and strenuous activities. More recently, Wolf joined the Chilliwack Camera Club which he enjoyed immensely. He also became involved in Senior Peer Counselling and was looking forward to participating in the program. He enjoyed fishing in his little boat, carving fish decoys and had recently begun to teach himself to paint! What a guy! Wolf leaves behind his loving wife Sandy, who was also his best friend, his daughter Sonya Coe, step-daughter Wendy Power, and grandsons Ben Hall, Tom and Nick Power. He also leaves behind his sisters, Uschi Steinkogler in Germany, and Norma Zimmermann in Kamloops. At the family’s request there will be no service at this time. Please, no flowers… In memory of Wolf, if you wish, please donate to the local Food Bank or a Homeless Shelter in his name. Maybe put a little extra into the Community Kettles at Christmas and think of him.
