Chilliwack not stirred by Friday’s earthquake But quake a ‘timely reminder’ for Chilliwack, says official Robert Freeman The Progress Friday’s magnitude 6.4 earthquake that rattled British Columbians as far east as Kamloops and Kelowna apparently left Chilliwack unshaken, according to city officials. But Chilliwack’s emergency coordinator Jim MacDonald said it was a timely reminder that an earthquake could be felt here, and families should have a plan in place and a family emergency kit on standby. “It’s time to think about what you would do here in Chilliwack,” he said, and look for a safe place in your home or workplace away from windows and heavy objects that might fall on top of you. MacDonald said he even noticed a few heavy objects above him at his office “that I might end up wearing” in an earthquake, and a whiteboard blocking his way out of the room. “And I’m supposed to be the guy walking the walk,” he said. There will be a B.C.-wide earthquake drill Oct. 20 at 10:20 a.m. Friday’s quake struck off the northwest coast of Vancouver Island at about 12:41 p.m., but there were no reports of injuries, damages or tsunami warnings. However, there were many reports of highrise buildings swaying in Vancouver. There were also several dozen aftershocks reported, the largest a 4.9 tremor. The earthquake was not caused by the forces that are expected to trigger The Big One, John Cassidy, a seismologist with Natural Resources Canada, told reporters at a Friday news conference. He said Friday’s earthquake was caused by the horizontal movement of tectonic plates along a different fault like, and is a “relatively common” event seen about every 10 years. Continued: QUAKE/ p5

Dr. Eric Davis speaks during the launch of the faculty of health sciences at UFV yesterday. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

UFV sees healthy future in Chilliwack Katie Bartel The Progress The new faculty of health sciences at the University of the Fraser Valley is the university’s way of responding to the increasing demand on health care in B.C.. UFV announced on Monday it has combined existing programs from the faculty of science and faculty of professional studies into one faculty of health sciences. Included in the new faculty is the bachelor of kinesiology degree, bachelor of science in nursing degree, practical nursing certificate, health care assistant certificate, certified dental assistant certificate, and a dental hygiene diploma. “We wanted to create a faculty that will produce the most

”

r und amount of synergy around health care at the university and in the community,” said Dr. Eric Davis, UFV provost and vice president academic. “This combination of programs from the departments of kinesiology and physical education and the school of health sciences will produce a really dynamic faculty that

will very immeill also ls rrespond sp diately to the physical needs of the Fraser Valley in terms of health care.” The population in the Fraser Valley is rapidly growing, especially in areas like Chilliwack. With the Baby Boom generation approaching its senior years, the demand for professionals in the health care sec-

tor is expected to explode. Minister of Health Mike de Jong noted that virtually half of every tax dollar sent to the provincial government goes to supporting health care services. “The cost of health care in our province is escalating,” said de Jong. “It cannot continue to grow at the current rate because if it does it is going to impact every other part of this institution and our communities.” The new faculty of health sciences is expected to address those needs. Davis said the new faculty would not only improve the rate in which health care workers are trained, “which is badly needed,” but will also be a way of preventing further health Continued: UFV/ p6

Fish farm foe challenged at wild salmon inquiry Jeff Nagel Black Press Biologist and anti-aquaculture activist Alexandra Morton was scorned Wednesday and accused of ethical breaches in her crusade to tie ocean salmon farms to the collapse of the Fraser River’s wild sockeye runs. Morton, executive director of the Raincoast Research Society, defiantly stood her ground in the first of two days of grilling before the Cohen Inquiry. She was pressed on how she can categorically say salmon farms cannot safely co-exist with wild runs when most other scientists testifying before the commission have said – with varying degrees

of certainty – that it should be possible. “I am completely independent,” Morton replied, adding she doesn’t work for a university, government or other vested interests. “You are pure, are you? You’re the only one that isn’t corrupted by business, by government, by a university?” asked Aboriginal Aquaculture Association lawyer Steven Kelliher in cross-examination. “Perhaps,” she said. The exchange came after lawyers for the provincial and federal governments and B.C.’s salmon farming industry sought to exclude from evidence a new report Morton wrote summarizing her findings for the inquiry.

“The document is full of hearsay and speculation,” charged Alan Blair, representing the B.C. Salmon Farmers’ Association at the inquiry. He said Morton drew scientific conclusions “far beyond her expertise” and suggested the report is biased, amounting to a violation of the code of ethics requiring professional biologists to be objective. Federal government lawyer Mitchell Taylor said Morton’s report contains statements that are “simply contrary to the evidence.” Justice Bruce Cohen, the federally appointed head of the commission into declining sockeye, did not immediately rule on the report’s admissibility. Morton recounted her key find-

ings after years of examining sea lice infestations and other possible risks to migrating salmon. She told the inquiry salmon farms act as a reservoir that amplifies pre-existing parasites and diseases along the wild salmon migration route, which runs through narrow channels off northeastern Vancouver Island. Natural runs of salmon die when they spawn, Morton said, breaking the chain of disease, but salmon farms act as a place where pathogens can breed and spread back and forth, both as juvenile salmon head out to the ocean and mature adults return. “Fish farms definitely amplify sea lice,” she said, rejecting the findings of other researchers who

suggested the lice aren’t likely playing a pivotal role in the salmon decline. Morton said returning Fraser sockeye began to nose-dive in 1992, the same year many salmon farms began operations on the migration route. “In the biological world, you rarely get patterns this bold,” she said. She also noted Harrison Lake sockeye are an anomaly among Fraser River runs in that they have bucked the downward trend and done surprisingly well. That run migrates around the west side of Vancouver Island, avoiding the main cluster of salmon farms on the east side, she said. Continued: SOCKEYE/ p4

Surrey angler rescued by father-son team from Chilliwack Robert Freeman The Progress A 57-year-old angler from Surrey, swept into the Fraser River last week when his waders filled with water, was going down a third and possibly final time when he was rescued by a Chilliwack man and his son. “He was just about done,” said Dan Bergmann, who was fishing nearby with his son Luke when he heard “a bunch of screaming” from the crowd of anglers downstream at a popular fishing spot called Peg Leg. When they got near the drowning man, they tried throwing a rope to him, but He was as just j st when that didn’t work, Luke looking at us, was able to grab him by the wrist to hold him above but there was water. “We were yelling at him, no look of fear ‘Stay with us, don’t let go,’” or anxiety in his Bergmann said. But it was clear to eyes, just ‘I’m Bergmann that the man was exhausted, with no more will done’ to hang on. “He was just looking at us, ~ Dan but there was no look of fear or anxiety in his eyes, just Bergmann ‘I’m done,’” he said. “It was a horrible look.” Luke wasn’t able to lift the man into the boat, so he held h boat b t to t the th b h on onto him while Dan navigated the beach the north side of the river. The man lay there motionless for about 20 minutes, and then started “heaving up water and stuff,” Bergmann said. “He told us that he had tried to get his vest off and boots off after he fell into the water,” Bergmann said. But the man was fishing alone, with no friends or family nearby, to help before he was caught in the current.

Jam the Jeep shows generosity Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Over the past month, everyone has been asked to Jam The Jeep at Cottonwood Mall for charity — just in time for the back-to-school season. More than $3,500 in backpacks and school supplies were donated Friday to the Chilliwack Salvation Army for distribution through the local school system for families in need. “The response has been overwhelming,” said mall spokesperson Dawn Lamotte. Friday Sept. 9 was the last collection

day for school supplies as well as the pickup. “It’s been heartwarming to watch since back-to-school is an expensive time of year. But that’s the kind of giving community we live in here in Chilliwack,” said Lamotte. Local Salvation Army officials had contacted the mall administration over the summer to say that supplies were in low supply, and asked if they could help. They sprang into action and launched the Jam the Jeep promotion, with the help of a 2011 Jeep that was loaned to the mall by O’Connor Dodge Chrysler for the effort. “We see this as meeting a vital need

in the community, and we so appreciated it very much,” said Ian Pratt, community ministries coordinator for Chilliwack Salvation Army. “Normally folks think of food and clothing in terms of donations but there are kids in need of these school supplies. “There are lots of people out there hurting and that hits the family pocketbook at this time of year.” Families should keep in mind the items will only be distributed through the schools, and not the Salvation Army, with teachers providing a list of those in need. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Morton testifies before inquiry into sockeye decline SOCKEYE from p3 Other sockeye that follow the same route, including Columbia River and Alberni Inlet runs, are also doing “quite well.” Another quirk of the Harrison run is that its newly hatched juveniles head out to sea very quickly, unlike most other sockeye that can spend up to a year in their birth lakes. Morton suggested that means the young Harrison fry aren’t in Harrison Lake when mature adults return to spawn, unlike other runs in the Fraser watershed where spawning adults may arrive and mix with juveniles, transmitting disease to them. “The Harrison are gone,” she said of this year’s fry. “They already left in May and June. So

they don’t get that exposure, plus they’re not going by the salmon farms.” Industry or government lawyers frequently raised objections and sought to limit Morton’s testimony, which was at times punctuated with applause from supporters at the hearing. Morton conceded much more research is needed, and said the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans should restore funding to geneticist Kristi Miller, who has argued a newly detected virus may be hurting Fraser sockeye. Marine Harvest Canada environmental compliance director Clare Backman, who testified on the same panel, challenged some of Morton’s claims, noting there are salmon farms in Puget Sound

and Chinook salmon are farmed on the west side of Vancouver Island. Morton agreed but argued any pathogens coming from western farms are more easily dispersed into the open ocean, while those on the island’s east side are densely concentrated in narrow inlets, posing a greater threat to wild stocks. Backman said the salmon farming industry has conducted pilot projects on closed containment aquaculture using a recirculated water system. That’s believed to reduce risks from the environment to farmed salmon, although he said the technology so far doesn’t look profitable without considerable improvements to make it more efficient.

The Lions Den “We Serve”

Presented by Mt. Cheam Lions Club

Lions International is the largest service organization in the world – and the reason is our members. We are part of this great group because we care. We care about the seniors; about the poor; about the hungry; about the blind. We care about the needy in our community as well as in our country and around the world. But caring is not enough. We need to take action to create solutions to these problems. We need to believe in our ability to succeed. If we believe we can succeed, then we will succeed. I recently had the honor of meeting our international president Dr. Wing-Kun Tam. Dr. Tam’s theme for 2011-2012 is (as you may have guessed) “I Believe”. One of his aims was for Lions Clubs throughout the world to plant one million trees. To date we have already reached 700,000 trees worldwide, because Lions Clubs everywhere told themselves “we believe.” A massive earthquake in 2008 devastated China, Dr. Tam’s country. Despite the overwhelming chaos, he believed they could do something to help – even if it meant helping just one victim. The Lions in that area believed they could help, too. And with the support of LCIF and Lions worldwide, they rebuild schools, clinics and even entire villages. But nothing would have started, and nothing would have gotten done, had they not believed. I believe we can accomplish whatever we set out to do. And we have proven it time and time again. Lions Clubs International (LCI) is a service organization with over 44,500 clubs and more than 1,368,683 members in 191 countries around the world. Because we believe.

when they landed. “It was a really heart-warming sight,” Bergmann said. “When you’re at the mercy of God and all of a sudden you’re cared for by all these people.” Chilliwack RCMP said this is the third river rescue this summer, all with the potential of being fatal were it not for the “heroic efforts” of people like Bergmann and his 23-year-old son. “There’s no question these men are absolute heroes,” Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. Bergmann said there have been other neardrownings at Peg Leg, ironically all of them while fishing from the shore. “The gravel on the edge is almost slippery,” he said, and when anglers cast a line they sometimes slide into the water, where they can be in big trouble if their waders fill with water. “People not used to it, they don’t stand back far enough,” he said, and can slide into the river that runs “very fast and very deep” at Peg Leg. “Once the current has you, it sweeps you away from shore really fast,” he said.

given the chance to identify the body aboard the SAR boat. When the body was brought onto the dock, SAR members, RCMP, Hannaford and his friend all stood silently for a minute or two, before a visibly distraught Hannaford returned to his vehicle. Hannaford and his friend had just arrived in the area from out of province. RCMP media liaison Cst. Tracy Wolbeck confirmed with Black Press Saturday morning that the body was indeed Hannaford’s. “Although this is a very sad ending to a long and involved search, Chris’s family now has the closure they need to move on,” said Cst. Tracy Wolbeck. She confirmed that Hannaford’s brother had arrived from Newfoundland on the day his brother’s body was discovered and was able to assist police in making a positive identification.

Black Press Police confirmed Saturday morning that Christopher Hannaford was the man who was found dead on Friday afternoon. Hannaford, 27, was last seen on a gravel bar near Old Orchard Campground on Kennedy Road in Harrison Mills, just east of Agassiz. A body was found on a gravel bar in the same area at about 4 p.m. Friday afternoon. The deceased’s brother Jonathan waited for about two hours on the riverbank Friday evening, as police, a coroner and Kent Harrison Search and Rescue retrieved a then-unidentified body from a gravel bar not far from the riverside campground. It was a sombre wait as the sun set, as recreational boaters and fishermen came and went from the boat launch near the Harrison River bridge. Hannaford’s body was brought to shore at about 7:20 p.m., and the brother was

ed. Wolbeck thanked everyone who was involved in the search for Christopher Hannaford. On Friday, a man had called the Chilliwack Progress, at about 4:15 p.m., saying that his brother had found the body. Police say the two brothers had been fishing in the area, not far from where Hannaford is thought to have fallen in the water. Ironically, the search for Hannaford had been scaled back on Friday, after an RCMP dive team and Air 1 helicopter had not detected any sign of the missing man. SAR member Neil Brewer said on scene Friday that every conceivable area of the river was searched before the attempts were scaled down, including all gravel bars, log sorts and all the river’s edges. On Friday, police said they do not believe foul play was involved in Hannaford’s disappearance, but that drinking may have been involved.

The last quake in the same general area was a magnitude 6.6 event in November, 2004. “The big ones occur deeper and further west of Vancouver Island,” Cassidy said, and occur hundreds of years apart on a different fault line where one plate is slipping under another. In the event an earthquake is felt in Chilliwack, MacDonald cautioned people to say off the phones, unless reporting an emergency. “Save the phone calls for later on, and leave the circuits open,” he said, so emergency 911 calls can get through. Emergency responders may not be readily available in the event of a major earthquake, and gas, water, and electricity may be cut off for long periods of time. Each family should have a “Grab-and-Go Bag” ready that includes a minimum three-day supply of water, food and medical prescriptions.

Dates with death RCMP Const. Janelle Shoihet had it right when she summarized the array of high-end, high-speed vehicles seized in White Rock last week. “Some of these, we’ve only seen in movies,” she said. Indeed, the scenario that played out had all the trappings of a summer flick – a bad one. Teenagers, fast cars, an apparent race to the beach. It’s the acme of cool imagery for the widescreen or the Xbox. But it wasn’t a movie. The cars were real and so was the danger. As the message of an award-winning student commercial for ICBC earlier this year asserted, “speeding is only cool in the movies.” It’s a message the young people involved apparently have not spent any time absorbing. Their attention has been focused on very expensive toys – Ferraris, Maseratis, Lamborghinis, Mercedes, Aston Martins and high-end, high performance Audis and Nissans. These are the kind of sleek, glossy cars designed to do just two things: one, inspire a Pavlovian reaction among car buffs; two, travel very, very fast. Fueled by hormones, bravado and what must be an inexhaustible supply of cash, they chose to play their deadly game of tag on streets where ordinary people – mothers, fathers, seniors, children and other teens – have every right to live their lives with some expectation of survival. These aggressive teens’ high-speed fantasy didn’t have a violent, bloody end, for which we can only be thankful. They lived and were able to be coolly insolent, or flip the bird, while officers attempted to educate them. As many have noted online, the $196 fines they received are “chump change” for such well-heeled miscreants. They will go on, on a fast path to their inevitable fates. Pray they do not waste innocent lives in the process of racing to their own ultimate dates with death. – Black Press

Aftershocks of 9/11 still being felt today I remember that day like it was yesterday. September 11th 2001. It was hot, dry, sunny. But the sun wasn’t yet up when breaking news arrested attention that, for a moment, seemed like an awful case of misjudgement. It was 6 a.m. on the west coast and news came that a small plane had flown into the north face of the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York. I still remember thinking, how could a pilot not miss those towers on a bright sunny day? Because, we learned to our horror, the terrorist in control of American Airlines Flight 11 had no intention of missing. It became a defining moment in history. It was that cataclysmic event when people worldwide would always remember exactly where they were the moment the planes hit the towers, when they

watched the horrific images of people jumping to their deaths, towers collapsing, massive clouds of pulverized concrete and gypsum swallowing people, the search for survivors in New York, the Pentagon, a Pennsylvanian field, the sickening realization there were but few. Who did this? Why? What’s next? Margaret As poisonous, EVANS toxic ashes rose, so did a new, tremulous, uncertain era. People felt disjointed, unner ved, painfully out of step with normal life. Fear pervaded. There was a collective sense at a deeply unsettling level that the jumpers leaping to their deaths came to symbolize America in free-fall.

Apart from being such a uniquely barbaric act of aggression on American soil, 9/11 became the biggest real time media event since the advent of global satellite links and 24-hour television news provided coverage to every corner of the globe. That day 19 hijackers killed nearly 3,000 people from over 90 countries. A few years later, we stood at Ground Zero. It was a cavernous hole, eerily quiet even though construction workers on excavators were busily on schedule. It’s said they pause at 9:11 each morning to honour those whose lives came to an end right where the workers stood. Still taped on a faded and weathered notice board along a walkway were the pictures of the missing, the lost. People paused, looked across the square, then were lost in their own thoughts

with memories that were still seared by the fear and foreboding of the event. That day was a wake-up call for beefed-up security at every level. For years we have had to put down the myth in the U.S. that the 9/11 terrorists came from Canada and that we’re soft on terrorism. Some Americans, blind-sided by the assault, were quick to lay blame, point fingers. But many more viewed Canada as a loyal neighbour. We didn’t stand shoulder to shoulder with them in the Iraq war but we’ve more than pulled our weight in Afghanistan. In the decade since 9/11, extremists created mayhem in Bali, Spain, London and India, the shoe bomber and the ginch bomber tried to bring down more planes, and a terror threat in Toronto was foiled.

bin Laden is dead, we’ve come to an uneasy realization that murdering fanatics are anywhere. Going for ward, Prime Minister Harper announced that September 11th will be a National Day of Service, a day to honour those who help others. On that fateful day when all aircraft were grounded for three days, folks in Gander, Newfoundland, housed 6,700 stranded 9/11 passengers. Vancouver helped 8,500 people and other cities across Canada accommodated all who came. But are we safer ten years on? Our most serious terrorist event was the Air India bombing in 1985. But it wasn’t seen that way. Today we’re more up to speed, more aware. As for more safe, we may never know.

HST loss shows the new reality CHILLIWACK FORD I must apologize to Joe Sawchuk of Duncan BC (Readers Write Sept. 8, 2011) for not grasping the “reality” of the HST mess that our Liberal politicians are blaming on those taxpayers who said “enough is enough” and voted the HST down. I obviously didn’t realize that a change to a complex two-government tax collection system could really be worked out in a few days after the last election. I foolishly thought that such agreements took months of behind the doors discussion, and that the “I promise you NO HST” by Campbell during his bid to get reelected was sincere, and totally honest. Of course, the idea of “Let’s now put in the HST” was a bolt out of the blue. I am such a fool. I really believed Campbell when he promised us that the HST once in place would be “revenue neutral”, and that the government would not benefit at all financially by the HST. Today, when Clark, Les and others moan about the great financial loss to the province with the old GST plus PST in place I really don’t understand what they are saying. Gosh, I must be really stupid misunderstanding what he meant by “revenue neutral”.

I really thought the telephone survey I received prior to my voting, from an “independent” survey pollster was truly “independent” . The recorded voice listed numerous ‘respected’ groups such as the Fraser Institute and many other business groups who supported the HST. “Did the this list influence my decision to vote on the issue”, I was asked? I couldn’t ask “Where is the list from the other side of the debate”. I failed to realize the “reality” of Liberal advertising. I am sorry Joe. I was tempted to vote for the HST when I was promised the total HST rate would be lowered from 12 per cent to 10 per cent, and that I would be saving a fantastic two per cent. Of course, I would grasp the “reality” that this lost two per cent in tax revenue would not be sneakily recovered in increasing taxes and other government fees from other areas ie. user fees, ferry rates etc. I trust our Liberal government never to do such a thing, being the totally honest, open, and trustworthy politicians they are. That is our reality - right Joe? Of course I believe the Liberals when they claim that the HST is resulting in lots of new jobs for

B.C. (and Ontario). Yesterday the federal government announced a zero per cent job growth for August, but that must be all those non HST provinces causing the problem. The new reality - right Joe? Joe makes a lot of lamentations that the referendum rules have changed, and if the old rules brought in by the past NDP government were in place, the results would have been different, He seems to suggest that the rules were changed by the anti-HST camp. Hmmm. Reality zap Joe. I believe these new rules were brought in by Campbell and supported by Premier Clark. I could go on and on here Joe, but I believe enough has been said. I apologize to you for being so unrealistic in my last letter. Yes, the HST was not voted out because the electorate was tired and fed-up of the Campbell and Clark governments. You and Campbell have to be right. eight per cent approval rating you say? Wow! In reality, the other 92 per cent just didn’t realize how foolish and shortsighted we were and should have followed our leaders like lemmings. Pity.

Vedder Road last week. “The crime took place on a bright, sunny morning in a busy area of town,” RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. “We are hoping that someone saw something that could be of value to us.” The lone male, wearing a grey plaid ball cap, a white T-shirt with a grey symbol on it, and dark pants, entered the bank at about 8:40 a.m. on Sept. 3. He produced a note demanding money, but no weapon was used. There was a champagne-coloured Ford F150 truck parked in the bank parking lot at the time that may be associated to the suspect. “Although no licence plate number was obtained, there was damage to both the front end of the truck as well as the bumper area,” Wolbeck said. The suspect was described as a white male, about six feet tall, weighing about 180 lbs. He had dark brown hair, and dark stubble on his face. He appeared to be acting alone. Anyone with information about the suspect or the truck is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Pair charged for string of robberies Robert Freeman The Progress Police are investigating a 26-year-old man and a 26-year-old female in connection with 16 robberies of fast food locations and businesses across the Lower Mainland, including one in Chilliwack. “There was nothing spectacular about any of them, no weapons were produced and only small amounts of money at each place,” RCMP Cpl. Holly Marks said. She did not have details of the Chilliwack robbery. The man, of no fixed address, has been charged with three counts of robbery in relation to robberies at two Subway outlets and a liquor store in the Surrey/Langley area. He was remanded in custody and will appear in Surrey provincial court Sept. 12 The female accom-

plice, believed to be the suspect’s girlfriend, has also been charged with two counts of robbery in relation to the Surrey Subway robbery and the Langley Liquor Store robbery. She was released from custody on a promise to appear in court Sept. 15. “A good tip led us to this pair, and police

the Lower Mainland will be recommending four more counts each of robbery and disguise with intent, for offences alleged in Port Moody, Langley and Chilliwack. Police in Coquitlam, Abbotsford and Kelowna are also reviewing certain robbery files to determine if there is a connection to the two suspects.

Jessica Francis, a Grade 12 Chilliwack secondary school student was one of 500 students across Canada accepted into Shad Valley this summer. Shad Valley is a four-week summer enrichment program held at university campuses across Canada for top academic students. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Teen ‘genius’ takes on Shad Valley “The people there actually wanted to learn. They were motivated to do things, there were no kids calling out, no kids being disruptive...” Katie Bartel The Progress Jessica Francis thought for sure she wouldn’t be accepted into Shad Valley. Despite pulling off a 93 per cent grade point average in her Grade 11 year at Chilliwack secondary, and regularly volunteering for a book-load of community and school initiatives, as well as having a goal of one day becoming an engineer, she thought for sure others had a better chance of admittance than she. “I knew there were only 500 spots and last year more than 1,000 from all over Canada applied, plus some international students as well,” she said. “I get good grades, and I have a part-time job, and I volunteer, but I thought the other kids applying would have a 100 per cent GPA and doing the same things I was; I didn’t think I’d get in.” If only she had read the sign in her bedroom that reads, Genius at Work, she might have had the same confidence in herself that

Shad organizers had. Francis was one of 500 Grade 10, 11 and 12 students accepted into Shad Valley this past summer. Shad Valley is a four-week, summerenrichment program for hard-working, highly academic, driven high school students interested in areas of science, engineering, technology, entrepreneurship, innovation and mathematics. It has campuses at 10 universities across Canada, and gives participants a first look into university life with daily workshops, lectures, projects and team-building exercises. “It was so amazing to be around like-minded people,” said Francis who attended Shad Valley at the University of New Brunswick campus from July 3 to July 29. (Following the program, she was also awarded an internship, through Shad Valley, at NB Power, which is the New Brunswick version of BC Hydro, for the month of August.) “The people there actually wanted to learn,” said Francis. “They were motivated to do things, there were no kids calling out, no kids being disrespectful, it was just a really great environment.” But it wasn’t easy to get in. To ensure the best students are selected, the application process is strenuous. Students had to write an essay, design a creative page, make a chart of their extracurricular activities, employment and volunteering commitments, hand in their tran-

scripts, and submit letters of references. Francis started the process last September; three months before the application was due. “The thing I was freaked out most about was the cost,” she said, of the $3,500 tuition fee, plus airfare. In addition to applying for admittance, Francis was also busy applying to local community organizations and businesses for sponsorship. Chilliwack Children’s Foundation, Chilliwack Optimist Club and School District 33 came through. But what was it about this program that had her so enthralled? Its reputation, she said. Shad Valley is recognized by universities across Canada and is considered for university admissions and scholarship decisions. In fact, several universities have scholarships geared specifically for Shad Valley graduates. At Shad Valley, Francis was able to network with like-minded students, alumni, top-rated university professors, and potential employers. She worked on a month-long project that focused on breaking down barriers for Canadian kids with disabilities, and included brainstorming, marketing, creating websites, developing business plans, prototypes and more. She also helped organize Shad Valley’s annual multi-cultural event, with only a few days notice, and hardly any free time beyond meal times.

Not only did she expand her knowledge in engineering, she also learned new areas of science, including first-year university labs in robotics and forensics. “It was definitely the best experience of my life,” said Francis. “In school everything you do, most of the time, is for marks and grades. But at Shad, it’s not, so it wasn’t stressful, it was just fun. You were there to enjoy yourself.” And learn. Every day participants were required to attend university style lectures. They weren’t required to take notes, “but most of us had our notebooks with us,” said Francis, giggling. “We probably looked really nerdy ... but we were all in the same boat.” Leaving Shad, Francis was even more solidified in her dreams of becoming an engineer and of one day building bridges. “I really want to build bridges,” she said, her eyes set on the region between Vancouver and Victoria. “They hold so many cars, and go across water, and their structure ... I just think they’re so cool, especially the curved ones and the suspension bridges. Actually, I guess I just really love them all.” She believes Shad Valley got her one step closer to fulfilling that dream. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Granny Smith’s brings home the produce Peggy Hazeoman wants you to eat your fruit and vegetables. And she’s going to help. Hazeoman recently opened Granny Smith’s Produce on Yale Road. It’s a bright and spacious shop that goes beyond produce to offer both dairy and bakery products. Hazeoman has always loved fresh produce, even as a child. She spent 10 years in the business before deciding she wanted to open a place of her own. Her goal, she says, was to

of fer high-quality products in a clean and inviting atmosphere. And judging from the comments she’s heard so far, Granny Smith’s is well on its way. Hazeoman opened the shop in July with a simple objective: Provide consumers with as much locally produced goodness as she could. “That’s our goal,” she says, “to be as local as possible.” Even her bakery products – delivered fresh each morning – come from Sardis Bakery. If there is a homegrown, family feel to Granny Smith’s, it’s no accident. Even the fruit and vegetable stands were built by Hazeoman’s husband, Lorne Humphreys. The result is a neighbourhood market that is as well laid out and organized as it is spotless. The “I believe in having a ver y 446298 Yale Road, Chilliwack (corner of Williams & Yale) clean store,” she 6604-701-MEAT (6328) • Mon-Sat: 10 am - 6 pm says proudly.

Located next to the Town Butcher on Yale Road, Granny Smith’s offers a fitting complement to existing businesses in the area. “We wanted to offer one-stop shopping in the plaza,” she says – a place where residents can pick up their meat, produce, dair y and baker y goods at a convenient and well-

cared-for location. That personalized, neighbourhood service is something people are looking, Hazeoman insists. And with the growing trend toward healthy and locally produced food, Granny Smith’s has much to offer. “More and more people are turning to health eating.”

As the name suggests, the restaurant is big on lunchtime fare, but it’s open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. It offers an assortment of wraps and sandwiches – both hot and could – poutine, homemade soup, salads and donair. Their signature sandwich is a donair combination called the Sharwarma. “And it’s really good,” says Wilson with enthusiasm. The Lunchbox has seating for about 18. But if customers can’t make it there, they’ll bring it to them. “We do a lot of take out and delivery,” Wilson says.

The restaurant business can be one of the toughest, with long hours and hard work. But the guys and gals at the All Day Lunchbox in downtown Chilliwack are taking that work ethic to a new level. They opened their eatery last October and since then, the going hasn’t been easy. They’ve taken on additional jobs to help make their dream of a successful restaurant become a reality. It’s meant 14-hour days, six days a week. It’s meant juggling shifts, and helping each other out. But that balancing act is starting to pay off. Their reputation for fast, fresh and delicious meals is gaining notice and earning a loyal following. “We’re all working together to make the

$2.2 billion over three years, including $700 million less revenue once the old provincial sales tax is reinstated. Further revenue reductions are expected in later years before economic growth makes up the sales tax revenue. Falcon said he will be traveling the province this fall for the annual budget consultation, but he has already heard that the public has little appetite for new tax or fee increases to make up for undoing the HST. He said the cabinet has not yet decided if the â&#x20AC;&#x153;net zeroâ&#x20AC;? mandate for public sector union negotiations will be extended after it expires this December. But he gave a strong hint to the B.C. Teachersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Federation and the B.C. Government and Ser vice Employeesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Union, the two largest groups that have not yet agreed to contracts under those conditions.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not looking at any kind of a rollback in wages,â&#x20AC;? Falcon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think all weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying is that the public sector needs to recognize that in the world weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in now, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good time to be asking for significant increases.â&#x20AC;? NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston refused to comment on whether teachers or other government workers should get raises, after his party helped in the two-year effort to repeal the HST. He said if lower-paid public employees have to sacrifice for Falconâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cost-cutting exercise, executives in government and Crown corporations should also share the pain. The finance ministry now expects the deficit for 2011-12 to be $2.3 billion, up from $925 million in the spring budget. That is mainly due to borrowing to repay the federal governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $1.6 billion HST transition fund.

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey. I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here. So I feel like I’m well qualiﬁed to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

“The HST did not play into the sale of resale homes, and due to the average price of new homes being lower than areas further west, the HST had minimal effect on the majority of home sales in our area.” Andersen adds however, that HST is charged on commissions and services associated to the sales transaction, but consumers make home purchase decisions on life circumstances rather that consideration of modest savings in the transaction process. It would however, enter the equation for higher priced new homes. Of the total homes that sold last month, the highest number (26) were in the $350,000 - $399,999 range, followed by 23 sales in the $250,000 - $274,000 range. There were 17 sales of homes over the $500,000 mark. Just over 1,900 homes are currently listed on the local market. – CADREB Press Release

When introduced, the HST had little effect on the housing market in Chilliwack and area and it will likely have little effect when it goes. While not impervious to global influences, the local real estate scene has remained steady and has even enjoyed some increased activity of late. “We are seeing a rebound over the summer, something that is not typical in markets closer to the metropolitan area,” said Mark Andersen, President of the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB). A total of 193 homes sold in August, compared to 145 in August 2010, and up slightly from the month before. Andersen credits this to increased stability in the marketplace, and interest rates staying lower longer than earlier predicted. He predicts the gradual elimination of the HST will have little effect on the Chilliwack and District real estate market.

Roster takes shape as preseason winds down

With three weeks of training camp and preseason in the books, and two weeks to go until opening night, the pieces of the 2011-12 Chilliwack Chiefs puzzle are starting to fall into place. General manager Har vey Smyl has trimmed his roster down to 25 skaters, with only a handful of tweaks still to come. Smyl has arrived at the two goaltenders he will carry into the season, opting for ex-Peterborough Star Mitch Gillam and ex-Quesnel Millionaire Bryton Udy. Eighteen-year-old Udy won the duel of ex-Mills, beating out former teammate Adam Harris (19). “Udy did play a little more steady and continued to get better and better as camp went along,” Smyl explained. “That decision was pretty clear, and we’re happy with where we’re at at that position.” Gillam has been the steadiest netminder throughout the preseason and figures to be the opening night starter. “I don’t know if he’s number one, because Udy has more experience at the junior A level,” Smyl cautioned. “Gillam has played better to this point, and I think Bryton (Udy) would say that as well. But Udy’s been a good goalie in this league and hopefully they can push each other.” The netminders will play behind a defensive unit that has looked leaky. Veteran Ty Miller

Veteran Ty Miller will lead a Chiefs defensive unit that has looked shaky in the preseason. Chiefs general manager and head coach Harvey Smyl says there’s plenty of work to be done with the Chilliwack roster. JUSTIN KEITCH/ PROGRESS

leads the group along with returning ex-Mills David Thompson and Stefan Gonzales. Former Chilliwack Bruins prospect Shea Laurent is in the mix, bringing previous junior A experience from his time with the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Fort MacMurray Oil Barons. The 18-year-old was cut last week from the training camp of the Western Hockey League’s Victoria Royals, and Smyl seems happy to have him on board. “Laurent’s already got two years of junior A under his belt,” he said. “He’s a bigger defenceman who brings a physical aspect to his game, and we think there’s some good things there.”

If there’s an area Smyl looks to upgrade before opening night, this might be it. “There’s room for improvement across our whole lineup,” the coach noted. “We’ve got some work to do with this team.” The Chiefs forward group has potential, but has lacked consistency in the preseason. A couple ex-Mills counted on to be offensive leaders, Malcolm Gould and Spencer Graboski, have been hit and miss in exhibition action. “Some of the kids haven’t reached the expectations we had for them at this point,” Smyl conceded. “Gould has played very, very well at some points and not so well at others. Graboski hasn’t played

to his ability yet, and he knows it.” Smyl is giving his players the benefit of the doubt for the moment, knowing how tough the transition has been for the former Quesnel players. “This is a whole new scenario with a whole new group of guys, whole new coaching staff, new city and new building,” Smyl said. “Everything is new to them and it’s going to take some time for them to become a team, know what the coaches want and feel comfortable here.” A forward who has quietly had a solid preseason is Derek Huisman, another exMill who has frequently found his way onto the scoresheet. Injuries have limited

Chris Blessing’s availability, but Smyl is eager to see what the 20-yearold can do after posting 10 goals and 26 points in 45 games for Quesnel last season. “We’ve got some kids who have contributed at this level and we’re expecting them to do that for us,” Smyl said. “I think the one area of concern is that we’re not abrasive up front at all. We’ve got some skill and speed, but the grit factor may be missing a bit.” If in-house options don’t step forward, that may be another area Smyl has to fill by shopping around. “I’m not so concerned about it at the beginning of the year because of the way the officials are going to call the games,” Smyl said.

“But as the year goes on and games tighten up, the grit factor is a very important piece of the pie. We’ll see if the guys we have can do it. If not, we may have to go out and address that.” While it sounds like there are many things Smyl would like to do, he doesn’t want the roster to be a revolving door. “I don’t have a history of making lots of changes throughout the year,” he said. “We may tinker here and there, but I don’t expect us to be big movers and shakers. Our goal is the same, and that’s to be somewhere in the top five battling for a playoff spot at the end of the year.” The last home preseason game is Friday night as the Chiefs host

the Merritt Centennials. The home opener is Sept. 24 versus the Penticton Vees. Get the full schedule online at www.chilliwackchiefs. net. ● While he must still clear the BCHL’s transfer approval process, David Bondra appears set to join the club. If that last name looks familiar, it’s because David is the son of ex-National Hockey Leaguer Peter Bondra. David’s dad scored 503 goals in an NHL career spanning 1081 games, topping 50 goals twice. David spent last season with the Chicago Steel of the United States Hockey League, posting four goals and nine points in 58 games.

Sports Chilliwack cornerback Tanner Hamade supplied the only Husker points with a 47 yard fumble return for a touchdown. Chilliwack’s offence failed to reach the endzone and managed a meagre 161 yards, only five of those coming from an ineffective ground game. Husker backs carried 15 times for an awful average of .3 yards per carry. Making his first start, quar terback David Hollinshead threw 19 times, completing 12 for 161 yards and two interceptions.

The Okanagan Sun rolled up 433 yards of total offence and put 42 points on the scoreboard in a one-sided 42-7 rout of the visiting Chilliwack Huskers on Sunday. With the loss, the Huskers saw their regular season record dip to 0-6, and they are closing in on two full years since their last B.C. Football Conference win (28-25 over the Vancouver Trojans on

Oct. 3, 2009). On Sunday, the home side used a lethal ground game to grind the Huskers into dust. Arman Bokitch led the Sun with 13 carries, 104 yards and one touchdown. Steven Doege turned in the Jerome Bettis line with two carries, two yards and two touchdowns. If there was a bright spot for the Huskers, it was the pass defence, with limited Sun quarterback Jeremy Mraovic to 131 yards, completing 11 of 22 attempts. Mike Friend reeled in a touchdown pass from Mraovic.

â&#x153;&#x17E; Obituaries

April 3, 1921 September 8, 2011 After a long and blessed life, William Austin Byrnes passed away peacefully at home at the Waverly BYRNES in Chilliwack, B.C., with his loving family by his side. He is survived by his wife, Joan Byrnes, his ten children ; Elaine (Frank) Kinnaird, Joanne Sexsmith, Judy (Duncan) Anderson, Patricia Byrnes, Colleen (John) Byrnes- Bishop, Sheila Peel, Bev (Terry) Berg, Jim Byrnes, Cathy (Danny) Johnson, Janie (Gary) Meeres, 28 grandchildren, 17 great grandchildren and his sister Marguerite Schneider. Austin spent his childhood years in Kerrobert, Saskatchewan, enjoying the adventures of prairie farm life. A proud era in Austinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was his four years of service in the Royal Canadian Air Force during the second World War. He remembered with fondness the comradery, and the sadness of lives lost, many of whom were good friends. The most important event in Austinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life was meeting and marrying the love of his life, Joan Eileen Dunn. They have to date celebrated 66 years of marriage. Together they raised their ten children with love and taught by example the strength and importance of family . Austin was a proud pioneer in helping to bring A.A. to British Columbia in 1960. We can only imagine, through the ripple effect, the countless lives he has touched. He is believed to be the ďŹ rst and only person in B.C , to date, to take a 50 year A.A. Cake. Throughout Austinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life he worked as a milkman, dairy farmer and salesman up until his retirement in 1985. Austin enjoyed

golf, curling, bridge, crib, casino trips and travelling in his 26 years of retirement. Austin was never happier than when he was with his family, enjoying simple walks and visits or celebrating much anticipated special family celebrations, such as the annual Christmas Party and most recently being honored at his 90th Birthday at the Coast Hotel. He will be remembered as a kind and loving man who lived his life by the Serenity Prayer. He could always be counted on to make us laugh not only in good times but to ďŹ nd humor in our challenging times. Austin will be deeply missed . His legacy of love will live on in our hearts forever . The family wishes to express their deep gratitude for the exceptional care and friendship Austin received while residing at the Waverly Seniors Village. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers donations may be made to the charity of your choice. Prayers and viewing for family and friends will be held on Tuesday Sept. 13th at 6:00 P.M ( changed from 7:00 P.M. ) at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church, 8909 Mary Street. A celebration of Austinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life WIll take place on Wednesday Sept. 14, 2011 at 12:00 noon at St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Catholic Church. Burial to follow at The Little Mountain Legion Cemetary. Luncheon at the St. Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall. Pallbearers are eight of Austinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grandsonsâ&#x20AC;ŚChris Connal, Jamie Berg, Kyle Meeres, Darren Kinnaird, John Anderson, Chris Elkey, Robert Johnson, Patrick Berg.

Dean was born in Chilliwack and was a lifelong resident, with the exception of several years spent in logging camps on the B.C. coast in the late 1950â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with her husband Jim and two of their daughters. The family returned to Chilliwack, bought a business and were self employed until retirement. Dean and Jim spent many wonderful years ďŹ shing, camping and travelling with their Travelall and trailer, until his death on September 6, 1986. Dean is survived by her four daughters, Sharron (Paul) Wonnacott, Diane (Keith) Surran, Vale Martens and Dell Burke. She had many loved grandchildren and great grandchildren. She was predeceased by her infant son, Billy; her husband, Jim; parents, James and Sophia Ector, her sisters, Marian McKee and Edith Webster and her sons in law, Rudy Martens and Harry Burke. The family would like to give special thanks to the staff at Cheam Centre in Agassiz and Valley Haven in Chilliwack for their excellent care. At Deanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request there will be no service. The family will have a private celebration of her life at a later date, as she wanted.
