Countdown begins for school board elections Elections in November Katie Bartel The Progress With still three months to go before the Chilliwack board of education election, the debate is already getting heated. Current trustees were contacted by The Progress earlier this week and asked if they were seeking re-election. Trustee Doug McKay and Heather Maahs confirmed they will be running for re-election. John-Henry Harter will not, and both Darlene Wahlstrom and Martha Wiens are still undecided. Silvia Dyck and Louise Piper did not return messages prior to The Progress deadline. McKay, who has served two terms in Chilliwack, four in Alberta, came out firing with his campaign initiatives. He said that while the district has been able to move its academic agenda forward in the last three years, it was not easy. “I do not believe the present board of education has been an effective board of education,” said McKay. “As much as we have tried, we’ve been unable to work together as a unified team.” Largely, he said, because of the dissension among trustees regarding their roles and responsibilities. The Ministry of Education website states that boards of education have a duty to govern their districts in a fiscally responsible and cost-effective manner. It also states that trustees are responsible for setting education policies that reflect the aspirations of the community and are consistent with overall provincial guidelines. “Our role is to develop policy that provides direction for our administrators, that’s our job,” said McKay.

The City of Chilliwack is looking to update its Vedder River Management Plan. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Balancing river values with heavy use on the Vedder Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s an extremely well-used recreational corridor in Chilliwack in need of a fresh look at its management. The Vedder River corridor encompasses world-class amenities, while facing challenges like erosion, flood prevention, and the need to protect fish and wildlife values. This is the wide-ranging scope of issues to be tackled in the
soon-to-be updated Vedder River Management Plan. The old plan dates back to 1983, and recent developments made it necessary for the Vedder River Management Area Committee to proceed with an update. A request for proposals for the plan update went out this summer and is set to close on Aug. 31, according to the City of Chilliwack’s RFP summary. The corridor in question spans from Vedder Crossing west into
the Vedder Canal. With the final report due in April 2012, the successful consultant will complete analysis and review of the following: gravel removal, erosion, flooding, recreation, heritage sites and First Nations. The results will guide the future actions of the broad-based committee. City of Chilliwack officials chair the committee, which includes sport fishers, federal and provincial reps, FVRD and City of Abbotsford.
The overdue update will look at recreational uses at sites like the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve, sportfishing, as well as the gravel removal conducted every two years to maintain a flood profile without having to continually raise the dike infrastructure. Next year is a gravel removal year, so it’s possible preliminary results from the study will be available when the winter planning for spring gravel works begins.

Neighbours want action on province-owned crime scene Former grow-op site a magnet for crime Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A remote property on Nixon Road that once housed a huge underground bunker to grow marijuana was the scene of yet another hillside fire. Chilliwack Fire Department got the call Monday morning after neighbours reported seeing smoke, said Assistant Fire Chief Ian Josephson. That makes three fires – including a torched vehicle – at the hillside property since 2009 when
the massive grow-op was busted, uncovering underground growing rooms with more than 11,000 plants worth about $3 million. At the time it was dismantled, it was called the largest and most sophisticated pot-growing operation Chilliwack RCMP had ever seen, complete with hydraulic lifts, booby traps and water diverted from a nearby creek. This week fire crews found the remains of an outbuilding or small barn that had been probably burned overnight Sunday, Josephson said.
Several Nixon Road residents have reported concerns about continued illegal activities and buildings being ransacked at the site which can be accessed through an unlocked gate. “There were at least two structure fires, including the house last winter,” Josephson said. Complicating the issue is the fact that the grow-op property was seized by the province through civil forfeiture, according to city officials. “It’s up to the provincial government to do something about blocking off access to this property,” Josephson said. Either that or wait for it to be
sold, and hope the new owner will secure it. The hillside property is reportedly up for sale for more than a million dollars. One of the complicating factors was a court order preventing the previous owner from returning to the property after the police raid, so the grow-op damage was never remediated. The hands of city enforcement officials are now “tied” to some extent, unless bylaw violations can be proven such as unsightly premises, or unless the province can be pressured to take action on the file. “It’s a nuisance for us in terms

of utilizing our resources, but it’s even more of a nuisance for the neighbours, who are concerned for their safety,” said the fire official. One area resident, who requested anonymity for fear of reprisal, said the Nixon Road property has “become the Bailey dump” for every criminal in the Fraser Valley. “They stripped and torched a pickup there a couple of weeks ago. There’s bad stuff going on and it’s an ongoing crime scene. “But everyone says their hands are tied.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno
Parents frustrated by Unsworth crossing light delay Katie Bartel The Progress Parents waiting for a controlled traffic light to be installed at Unsworth Road and Keith Wilson Road will be waiting longer than expected. In April, Unsworth elementary received a letter from the City of Chilliwack stating that a light had been approved for the intersection. The letter specified that while construction details and exact dates for installation were not yet available, “initial plans indicate that the install shall take place during the summer and/or early fall months.” However, when contacted by The Progress earlier this week, city staff said they had never promised the install to take place in the summer, and in The safety fact said it could take well past the winter before construction of our kids begins. Jocelyn Holden, president of doesn’t seem Unsworth elementary’s Parents’ Advisory Council, was disapto matter pointed, but not surprised. Parents have been campaign~ Jocelyn ing for a controlled light at the intersection since 2008. Because Holden the intersection is congested with traffic before and after school, and because many vehicles exceed the posted 50 km/h speed limit, parents believe the current marked crosswalk at the intersection is unsafe for students to cross. Despite those concerns, though, Holden said they have faced repeated bureaucratic obstacles. “They just keep delaying, delaying, delaying,” she said. “The safety of our kids doesn’t seem to matter.” The City had approved four traffic light installations in this year’s budget: Teskey Road at Promontory Road, Ashwell Road at Bernard Road, Tyson Road at South Sumas Road, and Unsworth Road at Keith Wilson Road. The design aspects of those projects have only recently been completed, and will be going out to tender in the next week or so.

Teacher talks begin with arbitration Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – A tangle of technical issues is being sorted through by the B.C. Labour Relations Board this week as public school teachers and their employers prepare for another disputed school year. The B.C. Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA) applied to the labour board for a ruling expected by Friday on the scope of province-wide bargaining issues. The employer says the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF)
has failed to present a full set of proposals at the provincial table. “The BCTF continues to attempt to negotiate provincial matters and matters that may not be bargained at this time (including class size, class composition and staffing ratios) at local tables,” BCPSEA said in a bargaining bulletin. In June, teachers voted 90 per cent in favour of a strike mandate. In July, BCTF negotiators tabled demands including wage parity with other provinces, doubled bereavement leave to provide 10 days paid leave on the death

of a friend or relative, increased preparation time and a retirement bonus that would give departing teachers an extra five per cent payout for each year worked. BCPSEA says the pay demand would mean a 21 per cent raise for some teachers to match Alberta rates. It calculates that the entire package of demands would cost an extra $2.2 billion.

Tighter system to ban problem gamblers pledged

Automotive Service Technician and Apprenticeship Training

Develop the skills expected by today’s employers with UFV’s 10-month Automotive Service Technician entry program. If you are already working in an automotive shop, ask us about the Automotive Apprenticeship program.
The province says it will step up efforts to block problem gamblers who want to be barred from B.C. casinos but complain the voluntary self-exclusion system often fails to stop them. A pair of newly released studies confirm significant numbers of excluded gamblers sneak back in despite safeguards that include licence plate recognition systems and facial recognition software. One-third of the 169 enrolled gamblers studied by researchers over a four-year period said they walked back in undetected to place bets. Licence plate detectors can be beaten by gamblers who take transit instead, the findings say, while the facial recognition systems so far haven’t performed well. “It was not very difficult to enter a casino,” according to one study led by Dr. Irwin Cohen of the B.C. Centre for Social Responsibility at the University of the Fraser Valley. Most of the excluded gamblers who tried to go back in a casino got through every time, Cohen found, and only a minority ever reported being caught. Five per cent of those who snuck back into casinos had done so more than 25 times. A companion study by the Responsible Gaming Council (RGC) Centre for the

Advancement of Best Practices looked at the practices at five casinos in Victoria, Kelowna, New Westminster, Vancouver and Richmond. Voluntary self-exclusion does help, the studies found. Sixty-five per cent never tried to go back inside a casino and 35 per cent abstained completely from gambling – even at home. That beats the general success rate of around 10 per cent for programs like Gamblers Anonymous, the report said. An estimated 38 per cent of self-excluded gamblers got treatment of some sort. But both sets of findings say the program lacks teeth and calls for stiffer penalties when banned gamblers are caught coming back. The only real consequence right now, other than being ejected, is the loss of winnings. “This is a good step but not sufficient,” the RGC report said. Cohen’s review suggested publicly shaming chronic violators by posting their photos near casino entrances, as retailers sometimes do with shoplifters. He also said the BC Lottery Corp. (BCLC) could do more to remind excluded gamblers that any jackpots they win will be confiscated. Mandatory counselling could also be tried, the study said. BCLC is also urged to make it easier for gamblers to renew their exclusion, and perhaps to choose a lifetime ban. Gamblers
so far can exclude themselves from six months to three years, but not permanently. There are hopes an improved facial recognition system now being tested will prove more effective. The licence plate recognition system is also being upgraded so an audible alert sounds when an excluded gambler’s vehicle arrives. BCLC also says it will circulate shortlists of the most frequent or recent violators to all gambling venues in the region to help staff better detect high-risk patrons. The program remains voluntary and self-directed – the corporation said it won’t bar gamblers from casinos at the request of their spouses or family members. Eighty-three per cent of gamblers in the study listed slot machines as their gambling problem, while 61 per cent said casino card games, 33 per cent listed Internet gambling and 26 per cent said video poker in casinos. Seventy-three per cent of the studied gamblers said they lied to family about gambling and 34 per cent said they had suicidal thoughts due to gambling. Eight of the gamblers said they attempted suicide because of gambling, 10 attempted to harm themselves and 11 said they turned to crime. More than 3,700 gamblers are currently self-excluded.

The newly repaired Keith Wilson bridge was in operation Wednesday afternoon — a little more than a week ahead of schedule. City of Chilliwack contractors, Coquitlam Ridge Constructors, managed to complete the extensive construction and repair work in better than expected time. The repairs were necessar y because the bridge asphalt had deteriorated, and underside damage was found on the concrete bulkheads at the steel girder ends. The abutment walls had to be excavated and rebuilt at both ends. The project cost
about $235,000. The bridge repair was designed by Morrison Hershfield Ltd. It features new concrete retaining walls at the bridge ends and a new expansion joint.

They were caught red-handed last week in what police say was the act of breaking into a house on Reece Avenue. Now two Chilliwack men, Steffan Grenfal, 40, and John M. McGillicky, 44, are facing a slew of break-in related charges. Grenfal was charged with break and enter, possession of stolen property, assault on an officer, and failure to stop at a crash, among others. One of the suspects scraped an unmarked police vehicle trying to flee from officers and then the pair took off running, before being caught. McGillicky faces B&E and weapons charges, as well as possession of stolen property and willfully resisting police. “Once these two men realized police were watching them commit the break and enter, they got into an awaiting vehicle in an attempt to flee,” said Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth. “They sideswiped an unmarked police vehicle then took off on foot.” Both suspects were taken down after a lengthy chase by the Lower Mainland police dog service. Grenfal was remanded in custody until his next court appearance on Sept. 6, and McGillicky was remanded in custody until Aug. 23.

Returning sockeye salmon will be tested to determine if this year’s run was contaminated by radiation picked up in the North Pacific from Japan’s Fukushima nuclear disaster. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) said sampling of salmon and other fish is already underway and will continue through August and September. The agency expects the tests, planned since June, will show radiation in B.C.-caught salmon is well below levels that would prompt federal action, but calls it a prudent measure to reaffirm its safety for both domestic and export markets. “We have tested air quality, domestic milk and foods imported from Japan,” CFIA spokesperson Alice D’Anjou said. “No harmful levels of radiation have been detected, and we do not expect this situation to change when fish are tested.” Results are to be posted on the CFIA website as they become available. Fraser River sockeye migrate far out into the Pacific, as far west as the Bering Sea, although they were likely on their way back to B.C. when multiple Japanese reactors damaged by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami released radiation through the air and contaminated seawater. Salmon biologist and activist Alexandra Morton supports the testing. “My feeling is yeah let’s check,” she said. “A massive amount of radiation was released into the water and air. There’s been radiation readings in seaweed in North Vancouver. I do think it should be investigated.” On Aug. 11, Health Canada removed nine extra radiation detectors that had been installed in B.C. and the Yukon in response to the Fukushima disaster, saying radiation levels continue to be within background levels and there’s no cause for concern. An SFU professor who has also gauged radiation levels in B.C. and found nothing of concern supports Ottawa’s decision to scale back. “We haven’t seen any increased levels,” Kris Starosta said. “Monitoring is very expensive and time consuming.” Claims have circulated on social media this summer that authorities hid the true extent of Canadians’ exposure to Japanese radiation. One recent media report pointed to big “spikes” of Iodine-131 detected by a federal monitoring station at Sidney on Vancouver Island. For seven days in March, that station did measure Iodine-131 at readings at least 100 times higher than normal, according to Health Canada data. But Iodine-131 is just one radioisotope and a small component of the overall degree of radiation exposure B.C. residents get from various background sources. “The resulting dose from any radionuclides detected following the Fukushima event represents only a tiny fraction of the total background radiation dose that Canadians normally receive and does not pose a health risk,” Health Canada assistant deputy minister Hilary Geller said in a statement. A broader measurement of radiation exposure also posted on Health Canada’s website show the daily doses measured in March and April at B.C. sites remained roughly in line with the average readings from 2010. The Burnaby station measured total daily exposures between 0.47 and 0.54 microsieverts in the post-Fukushima weeks, compared to its average 2010 reading of 0.49. People get much more radiation from a dental X-ray (10 microsieverts), a cross-country jet flight (30 microsieverts) or a CT scan (at least 5,000 microsieverts).

Parents wait for crossing light But with the signal at Keith Wilson and Unsworth, the City was required to buy additional land from property owners on Keith Wilson so the road could be widened for sidewalks, curbs and gutters to be installed as well. The City is still in negotiations for the land. The three other signalization projects, which did not require additional land, are expected to be completed by Christmas. Unsworth’s signal will take longer. With school starting in two weeks, and three classes of fullday kindergarten also starting up, Holden said the already congested intersection will be even more of a nightmare. “It’s going to be even more disastrous than last year when we only had one kindergarten class leaving in the afternoon – now we have three,� she said. “They’re just forcing everybody to drive.�

Kudos to responders Most of us are fortunate enough to never need the skills of Chilliwack’s emergency response teams. But when we do, it’s good to know they’re there. Just before noon on Wednesday the Chilliwack Progress had reason to call on that expertise. The incident turned out to be relatively minor, but that didn’t stop fire, ambulance and police from responding with a degree of professionalism that was truly impressive. As a news organization, our staff is often in contact with emergency crews. (Usually trying to stay out of their way while we’re on scene at an incident, or pestering them for information later.) Yesterday, we were on the other end. What initially smelled like a campfire, turned into something more serious in a hurry. Within seconds the newsroom was filled with smoke. The building was evacuated and the call to 911 made. Past fire drills helped keep the process orderly, but there was concern. Wednesday is a deadline day for our Thursday publication and every lost minute is important. Within minutes fire crews were on scene, asking questions and assessing the situation. But they weren’t alone. Paramedics were also there, providing standby support in case of any injuries. An RCMP member was there as well. The cause of the smoke turned out to be a burned out transformer in a roof top air conditioning unit. Once the problem was identified, and the offending unit disconnected, staff were able to return to their work. But we went back with a better appreciation for the resources that are brought to bear when even a minor incident occurs in Chilliwack. The smell of smoke will linger in our office for a while still. But lasting much longer will be the gratitude for the quiet professionalism displayed by Chilliwack’s emergency responders. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Provincial power export plan isn’t dead yet VICTORIA – He would never quite admit it, but former premier Gordon Campbell’s push for selfsufficiency in clean electricity has always looked to me like a longterm strategy to export hydroelectric power. It still looks that way. B.C.’s spring and summer runoff match perfectly with peak air-conditioner season in California. But the recent review of BC Hydro operations discusses how the prospects for exports have changed since Campbell’s 2007 energy plan. The government instructed BC Hydro to wean itself off power imports by 2016, even in drought years, and obtain new capacity mostly from outside sources with net zero greenhouse gas emissions. Nuclear plants were formally ruled out. The review of BC Hydro by three top bureaucrats acknowledges that government directions

have “placed pressure on BC Hydro to increase their energy supply through increased longterm agreements with independent power producers (IPPs).” Cue the doomsayers. Independent power production is enemy number one for BC Hydro unions. Their champion, NDP energy critic John Horgan, was Tom immediately out FLETCHER with a grossly distorted version of the report. He cherry-picked statistics to compare the $124-permegawatt hour average cost for delivering independent power with the lowest end of the spot market for electricity, which currently swings wildly from around $4 to more than $50.
In fact the report puts the average price paid for IPP power at $63.85. Compare that with the projected cost of $87 to $95 for power from Site C, the proposed third dam on the Peace River that will be BC Hydro owned and operated. The $124 figure includes other costs, notably extending the electricity grid to connect IPPs. Horgan claims to favour wind or run-of-river for remote areas with no other clean energy option, but apparently is against hooking them up to the grid. (Further evidence that current NDP energy policy is nonsense: Horgan opposes Site C based on an assumption of little or no growth in mines, mills or other industries such as liquefied natural gas, which an NDP government would be a good bet to deliver. He’s against smart meters for the same reason he’s against the
HST – because it looks like a popular pose right now.) When it comes to electricity exports, the important point is not what power sells for today, but what it will be worth a decade from now. And that depends on whether clean energy can command a premium price, and whether coal and other fossil fuel sources have a carbon price imposed on them. Conventional wisdom right now is that carbon taxes and cap and trade programs are, if not dead, at least dormant in North America. Climate change has fallen off the front page as the U.S. and Europe grapple with economic troubles. So I was surprised to find that this month Powerex, BC Hydro’s electricity trading company, wrote to the California Air Resources Board asking for clarification of the state’s proposed changes to its greenhouse gas reporting and cap and trade rules.

wants to prevent suppliers from engaging in “resource shuffling,” where a supplier such as B.C. might import coal power from Alberta for its own use, while selling supposedly clean power for export. Considering that restriction, B.C.’s self-sufficiency rule starts to make more sense. If B.C. is not importing power, its supply must be clean. Also, a meta-analysis on climate effects came out last week in the journal <I>Science</I>, detailing world-wide species migration due to warming. Clean energy sales to California are a long way off, but it would be a mistake to reject the possibility.

MP pays tribute to Jack Layton I started writing a column the other day on a flight to Ottawa. I was heading there to take part in a National Defence Committee meeting about the situation in Libya. I put it on the back-burner once I arrived and tried to resurrect it again a week later before heading out on a four-day riding tour, which included stops at Alexandra Bridge, Cache Creek, Lillooet, Pemberton and Gold Bridge. It didn’t get done. I opened up the file again after getting home from Pemberton on Monday night and I realized it just wasn’t going to happen. The column I had started seemed unimportant on a day when I woke up to learn that Jack Layton, Leader of Her Majesty’s Loyal Opposition and long-time leader of the NDP, had passed away too soon and following too closely on the heels of his finest political hour. It was as shocking as it is sad. The outpouring of emotion from across the country was immediate and cut across political party lines. In addition to his supporters, others who opposed many of Jack’s policies and would have never considered voting for his party still liked him on a personal level. Even now, I find myself referring to him
as simply “Jack”, as though we were personal acquaintances. It isn’t out of disrespect, but rather out of respect for the type of person he was that I refer to him in this way. I only had the opportunity to speak with Jack once during the spring session of Parliament, before his revelation that he would need to step aside to deal with cancer once again. I happened to be leaving the House of Commons at the same time as he was after some late night votes. He was Mark at the Members’ Entrance – with his STRAHL signature cane and signature moustache – and I took the opportunity to introduce myself. Even at that time it was clear that he wasn’t feeling too well, but he flashed his signature smile, gave me a strong handshake and welcomed me as a new MP. He shared with me his fondness for my Dad, wished me the best and asked me to pass along his regards to Chuck. I said that I would, wished him well and we parted ways. It was a short, but meaningful personal encounter
and I think that’s what made Jack successful as a politician. He no doubt had many meaningful, personal encounters with hundreds of thousands of Canadians from coast to coast, and like me they probably were left with a positive impression. And like me, Canadians couldn’t help but find inspiration in his desire to continue to live life to the fullest, continue to take on new challenges and continue on to greater success even after his cancer diagnosis. Just down the hall from that entrance where we shook hands in the House of Commons is the magnificent Confederation Hall, which includes an intricate stone carving of the Canadian Coat of Arms. It includes the Latin words desiderantes meliorem patriam, which means, “they desire a better country.” Jack Layton desired a better country. And even if you disagreed with his policies, you knew he loved Canada. As we’ve seen this week, Canada loved him back. It was an honour to serve with Jack Layton in the 41st Parliament. I sincerely regret that it was for such a short time. Mark Strahl is the member of Parliament for Chilliwack Fraser Canyon

Join us for the Fraser Valley Regional District’s
Black Press Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA Iain Black is resigning his seat to take a new job as CEO of the Vancouver Board of Trade. Premier Christy Clark said she is “delighted and saddened” to see the man who succeeded her as Port Moody-area MLA in 2005 leave politics. After serving in several ministries in former premier Gordon Campbell’s cabinet, Black was dropped from a slimmed-down cabinet lineup by Clark this
spring and named parliamentary secretary for public transportation. At a news conference in Vancouver Wednesday, Clark and Black both rejected suggestions that pressure from the premier’s office to prepare for the next election had anything to do with Black’s decision. Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner resigned as attorney-general last week, citing the need to declare his candidacy and appoint election officials. Black said he wasn’t looking for a career change, and the board of trade approached him.

“And it took some convincing to tear me away from a job and a passion that I’ve had since I was a very young boy,” he said. Clark said she wasn’t expecting any further resignations from her caucus, and it wasn’t related to election speculation. Black is spending a few weeks on constituency business before his resignation takes effect in late September. Unless a general election is called first, a by-election in Port Moody-Coquitlam would have to be called within six months of the seat becoming vacant.

Teacher talks
TEACHER from p3 “net zero” budget mandate. Education Minister George Abbott has repeatedly indicated that the same mandate applies to teacher talks, with any extra costs offset by savings in other contract areas.
BCTF president Susan Lambert says without a negotiated settlement by the time school begins Sept. 6, teachers will start phase one of strike action by refusing all non-essential duties. The relationship between the two sides is reflected in an LRB
arbitration handed down Aug. 5. The BCTF accepts that taking attendance is an essential service, but tried to refuse to send attendance information to the school office, even though this may involve no more effort than pushing the send button on a computer.

An installment payment plan is available if desired.
The LRB refused the request for a second time. The board decided that both monitoring attendance and sending in the results represent a safety issue, and ruled that teachers can’t refuse it and force a management person to collect the data.

Horne Lake Caves brings caving to a whole new level The notion that you have to go into a cave to learn about it is getting turned inside out. Now that Horne Lake Caves is opening an interpretive centre on site, you

year, a full two-thirds, or 20,000 people, never get to see the caves. He adds that the educational aspect of the interpretive centre will grow into a necessary part of the long term sustainability of the caves and the responsibility that each caver will need to take on. “To minimize our impact on caves we need to treat them delicately to ensure their long term use and protection, and that means educating people how to use them,” says Varela. Funding for the interpretive centre came by way of BC Parks Community Legacy Fund, aimed at supporting improvements to 27 parks across the province. The funds were applied for by the Canadian Cave Conservancy (CCC), sponsors of the cave theatre. Also involved were the Vancouver Island Cave Exploration Group and the BC Speleological Federation. “We’re really pleased to be partnering with the CCC who really started it all - they really were a leader in this project,” says Varela. “They are the only national organization to protect and preserve cave resources and their sponsorship of the cave theatre is magnificent.” In addition to the interpretive centre, there will also be upgrades to the park, including new signage and an improved trail system.

News widespread throughout B.C., he said, adding that’s helped keep forest fires down and helped with air quality in Metro Vancouver. “You need heat waves and big ridges of unchanging stagnant air to get air quality issues,” Jones said. “And you need long stretches of hot dry air to create fire risk. We just haven’t had either of those this year.”

Pritchett to headline Party in the Park finale Local country star Aaron Pritchett has paid his musical dues. He’s been pumping out the hits, making videos and touring his heart out. He’s earned himself a huge following and awards to show for it. Pritchett strides on stage tomorrow night headlining the Grand Finale of the Party in the Park in Chilliwack’s Central Community Park. He got his early start in the music world as a deejay at Rooster’s Country Cabaret in Pitt Meadows, and eventually played in the house band doing covers. Today Pritchett has become one of the hardest working country artists in the biz, with roots firmly planted in ‘80s rock that lead to an eventual transition into the world of country. His fifth album, coming out this fall, is aptly named ‘In The Driver’s Seat’ because for the first time in Pritchett’s career, he is calling the shots. Country songs always spoke to him. “Those stories were a lot like mine. I was going fishing, camping, and riding buses to hockey tournaments in even smaller towns than my own, life was a lot more country than rock and roll. That down-home feel that resonated with me is what I strive to convey in my music today.” All that head banging he did as a kid shines through when he whips a stadium full of chanting fans into a frenzy while hammering out “Hold My Beer” or “Let’s Get Rowdy.” It fuels his passion and drive to put on one of the most exciting shows. Live acts for Aug. 26, starting at 5 p.m., at Party in the Park Grand Finale: Capella Dance, Desmond Devnich, Steve ‘Elvis Elite’ Elliott & Band, Pardon My Striptease with Rob Rowan and Savage West, and Aaron Pritchett.
Four bands for just seven bucks The Progress The SSRIs are coming to Chilliwack. Expect to be humbled by the range of indie talent coming to town on Aug. 27, says concert organizer Michael Schellenberg. The experimental jazz-pop outfit the SSRIs of Vancouver is one of four bands for seven bucks playing at the OAP Hall beside Twin Rinks on Saturday, Aug. 27. Why the OAP hall? “It’s the only option we had,” he
says. “But the acoustics are good.” Schellenberg, a bass player, says he is between bands now, but remembers a sick show featuring Rags to Radio and Men of Britain in the venerable old building. “I want to maybe not match that experience with this show, but create some energy and excitement,” says the longtime Chilliwack resident. Here’s the lineup: Lividity from Chilliwack opens the show at 7 p.m., followed by Muthergoose, with members from Chilliwack and Abbotsford.
One of the headliners, GSTS, painted as “post-hardcore math rock” are from Abby, are heading out on a cross country tour. They’ll take the stage at about 8:45. The SSRIs have been across Canada and down south with a rather psychedelic jazzy post-punksound, touring the latest album, Effeminate Godzilla-sized Wind Chimes. They’re fun and they have chops. They’re on at 9:45. Four bands, Saturday August 27, at the OAP Hall (beside Twin Rinks), 7 p.m. sharp, $7 tickets at the door.

from deep frost. Hibiscus are usually sold as small to medium sized plants in bush form, but they can also be purchased or trained into a handsome tree form. Growing to about 3.5 meters (12 feet), they can easily be pruned in late winter to conform their size to your garden needs. There are three flower forms: large singles, semi-double and smaller doubles. My favourite is ‘Red Heart’, a large white single with a red eye that really shows up in the garden. ‘Diana’ is a huge pure white triploid that remains open at night. ‘Woodbridge’ is a single magenta rose with a red eye. ‘Bluebird’ and ‘Marina’ are improved forms of a single blue with a red eye. In the double forms, ‘Ardens’ is a purple and ‘Collie Mullens’ is a magenta rose with a crimson eye. The newest series from Proven Winners is the ‘Chiffon Series’

being the last hurrah in the fall garden. Hibiscus can be somewhat difficult to get established. They need full sun or just a touch of shade and a little tender loving care to get going and to perform their Brian best. MINTER Hibiscus grow just fine in a wide variety of well drained soils, but they need plenty of organic matter to hold moisture. They wilt easily in hot weather and need a deep watering during periods of long drought. Don’t move them around the garden as they are not happy being transplanted. It’s also a good idea to mulch their roots over the first couple of winters to protect them

ove over Hawaii, we have our own beautiful hibiscus to light up our summer gardens. Perhaps one of the most under-used summer flowering shrub is the hardy Hibiscus syriacus althaea or Rose of Sharon. It has been cultivated in England since the 16th century, but it is only over the past few years that, because of today’s many new varieties, it has become a more mainstream plant. Hardy to zone six, and possibly some high zone fives, it is one of the few flowering shrubs that opens in succession from July through to October. Once the mophead hydrangeas finish, there is a distinct lack of garden colour from flowering shrubs, and that’s why these plants are so important. Hibiscus are generally the last flowering shrub to show leaves in spring but they more than make up for it by

Quesnel kid carries high hopes to Chilliwack
Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Spencer Graboski is a laid back guy. The 18-year-old Quesnel native is happiest with a fishing rod in hand, camped out in a quiet spot where it’s just him and the great outdoors. In the winter, he’s happiest on a snowboard. Just him and the powder. If he can’t fish or board, he’s perfectly content catching reruns of Friends, chuckling at the antics of Joey Tribbiani and his buds. “I like Joey. Joey’s a beauty,” Graboski laughed. Off the ice, Graboski is relaxed.
Coming off a 15 goal sophomore season in Quesnel, Spencer Graboski will be one of those counted on to lead the Chilliwack Chiefs offence. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
‘grinds his gears.’ “I hate that show so much,” he said. “It’s so bad. It’s the worst show on TV.” Perhaps if Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl could persuade opponents to sing show tunes as Graboski enters the offensive zone? Graboski could also be served well by adding more bulk to his frame. His listed weight is on the slight side for a man of his height, though his offseason training program might have helped. A mountain biking mishap in late May set him back a bit, but Graboski spent most of
the summer in Dawson Creek working on a pipeline crew — the labour intensive job was boring, but effective for packing on muscle. “Whatever the more skilled guys needed, I’d get it for them,” he said. “It was hard work and good money, but it wasn’t very interesting.” He believes he’s better suited now to handle those 20-year-old defencemen that populate the roster of every BCHL team. Graboski’s other major challenge will be handling the transition to Chilliwack. For the last two
seasons, the teenager played in front of friends and family at the Quesnel and District Twin Arenas. In 2008, the old barn was home base for his bantam AA team, a squad that took a provincial title with a 6-5 win over Salmon Arm. Graboski had three goals in the championship game, and lists it as his greatest hockey achievement to date (exBruin Tim Traber was also part of that team). “We were the second to last seed coming in and we dummied everyone,” he said, smiling. “It was awesome. It was just the second time in

Quesnel’s history that a team had won provincials.” Leaving a town that provided so many great memories is tough, even if the destination holds so much promise. “When you look at the facilities, you can’t even compare them. Prospera is so nice and the Quesnel Arena was pretty run down,” he said. “Playing in front of friends and family was good when we were winning and bad when we were losing, but once the game started I was always able to focus on playing.” In Chilliwack, Graboski will focus

on scoring goals and becoming a leader. Quiet by nature, he wants others to follow his example. “I don’t think I’m old enough to wear a letter, but I want to be one of the guys who is there for the boys if they have questions or anything,” he said. “I’m not the most vocal guy, but I try to give it everything I’ve got on the ice. Hopefully guys see that and try to do the same.” Graboski and the Chiefs host the Coquitlam Express in their preseason opener, Saturday night. Face off is 7 p.m. at Prospera Centre.

The crash course starts with a player who will be counted on as an offensive leader this season.
Mellow and unhurried. On the ice though, that’s a different story. On the ice, Graboski is a big-bodied six-foot-two and 180 pound forward, bulling his way through and around opposing defencemen en-route to the net. With the cage in sight, he is a cold-hearted sniper with one goal in mind. Puck. In. Net. Graboski lit the lamp 15 times last year for the Quesnel Millionaires, a total that led the team and hints at the potential that lurks within. While 15 goals in 59 games may not sound like much, doing it as a 17-year-old, in the BCHL, for a team that struggled mightily to get goals — that’s an impressive feat. “I don’t want to say last season was good, because it’s all about team success,” Graboski said. “It was OK, but you always want to strive for more and I feel I’ve got lots to learn and lots of room to improve.” Every hockey player Graboski’s size is expected to play like Cam Neely reincarnate. But not all of them have the innate aggressiveness that Neely brought to his long NHL career. Graboski needs to push himself to play that way, because it doesn’t come naturally. “I’m not the most physical guy, and that’s something I definitely want to improve in my game,” he agreed. Few things make Graboski mad, although the hit TV show Glee

hope to avoid setting a new standard Sept. 17 when they host the Langley Rams. On the positive side, Cody Hillhouse collected 28 defensive points against the Raiders. Points are distributed for things like tackles, sacks, interceptions and fumble recoveries. Hillhouse, a Surrey native, had seven solo tackles and five assists on defence, along with three special teams stops and a special
teams assist. To those, he added a fumble recovery. His 28 points were the most in a B.C. Football Conference game since 2008 and established a new Huskers record, beating the old mark of 27 which was shared by Craig Nellis (Oct. 6, 2002) and Karl Delong (July 19, 2008). The Huskers are on the road this weekend, facing the Rams Saturday at McLeod Stadium in Langley.

Last race looms Fraser Valley Dragonboat Club teams are prepping for the final regatta of the year, taking place in Penticton. Since March, the Crusaders, Mavericks, Pirates, Seraphines and Thunderstrokers have been honing their paddling skills to find out were they rate in the B.C. dragonboat community. The answer will be known Sept. 11 as they compete for victory in the platinum, diamond, gold, silver, bronze divisions of the Penticton Dragon Boat Festival. Manfred Preuss, coach of the Crusaders, says it is amazing how far all the teams have come. “When you finish a race and know you have done everything possible, the feeling of complete joy, exhaustion and pride shines through,” he added. “You will know what I mean the first time you give it a try.” The final chance for that comes Sept. 25 with an Open Paddle at Harrison Lake. The public is invited to try dragon boating from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. FVDBC will have their Optimist youth team, dubbed Spirit of Fraser Valley, at the event. The team is looking for paddlers for the 2012 season. Four mixed teams and the Seraphine ladies are also recruiting for next season. Get more details online at www.fvdbc.com. Info on the Penticton Dragon Boat Festival can be found online at www.gorowandpaddle.org.

LOCK Sandy
It is with deep sadness that the family of Alexander Eric (Sandy) Lock announce his sudden LOCK passing on August 21, 2011.

He also leaves to mourn brother-inlaw Garry Dawson, stepsons Rob (Vanessa) and Steve, and their children. And, of course, Abby. He was predeceased by his mother Beverley in 2000.

Sandy enjoyed a cold beer and a good debate, and you always knew what his opinions were. He had a large circle of lifelong friends and they were fiercely loyal to each other. The family wishes to thank his friends for their support of Sandy during his time of loss. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the charity of your choice and a toast to Sandy would be appreciated. A gathering to remember Sandy will be held Wednesday, August 31st at 3 pm at the Camp River Hall.
PORCINA Sherry Marie (nee Gaultier) Sherry Porcina was surrounded by family when she left us suddenly on August 18, 2011, PORCINA leaving an empty space in this world that will never be filled. Sherry was born in Winnipeg, MB to Gerald and Pauline Gaultier on September 3, 1967. She grew up under the wide, blue sky of Stoney Mountain, MB with her siblings Marc, Nicole, and Gilles, and enjoyed the love and attention of her grandparents and many aunts, uncles, and cousins. The family moved to Chilliwack, BC in 1980. Sherry graduated from CSS in 1985 along with her high school sweetheart and future husband, Danial Porcina. They married on July 16, 1988, and after a short stint in Calgary, AB, they returned to Chilliwack to make a life together. In 1990, Sherry gave birth to their first son, Christopher Allan Porcina. That was followed by the joyous addition of Steven Gerald Porcina four years later on September 26, 1994. Sherry was a mother first, and always put her children before herself. She loved them and guided them on their way to manhood as only she could. She was always involved with school PAC and sporting events. Sherry was proud to be known as Mom of the Running Backs “28’s” within the Chilliwack Giants Football organization, to which she contributed and participated until present day. She worked data entry at Slocan for a few years before becoming the Controller, Accounts Receivable at Fred’s Custom Tackle. This is where Sherry would be known within the business community for her outstanding integrity and commitment to excellence. Sherry was a loving and encouraging wife, and the most supportive person you could ever meet. She will
