Little local impact expected from teacher job actionKatie BartelThe Progress

Today is the first day of the most recent run of teacher job action.

What does that mean? For students and parents, not

much.According to Clint Johnston,

Chilliwack Teachers’ Association president, Chilliwack students and parents will not be affected by the limited job action.

Report card preparation and parent meetings will continue, as will pre-arranged extra-curricular activities such as coaching.

However, phase one of job action does include refusing written and electronic commu-nication with school principals and other such officials, arriving no more than an hour before and leaving an hour after school hours, and refusing supervision of students outside class time, including recess and lunch supervision.

That means school principals and other staff will be responsible for those extra tasks.

“It’s purely a move to increase pressure on administration and make it less comfortable for them and hope their grumblings move upwards to motivate the provin-cial table to get a deal done,” said Johnston.

After a year of bargaining, union members voted 89 per cent in favour of a three-stage strike plan in March.

“A move like this shows we don’t want to inconvenience stu-dents, and we don’t want to incon-venience parents,” said Johnston. “This is as mild as we can be while still trying to prove a point that a year of bargaining with no

The Federal government wrote a big cheque Tuesday morning, handing over $19 million for the construction of an indoor firing range in Chilliwack.

“Construction of a new firing range is an important investment into the City of Chilliwack’s econo-my that will have positive impacts for many years to come,” said Mark Strahl, MP for Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon, announcing the funding. “I am very pleased that our government continues to make the safety and security of Canadians a priority.”

Plans have been in the works for a long time to have a new firing range built in the Canada Education Park.

The existing range is outdoors, and is notorious for being noisy and disruptive to its neighbours. It will be shut down before its lease expires in March, 2016.

The University of the Fraser Valley will re-purpose the building, and the land surrounding it, blend-ing it into the school’s agricultural program.

Site preparation work has already begun on the one-acre facility, which will be located at Keith Wilson and Tyson roads, north of the current facility.

Construction of the new range begins in June or July, with CEPCO (Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation) managing the process. The new building is expected to be complete by December of 2015.

Described as ‘state-of-the-art,’ the new firing range will be used by the RCMP and CBSA (Canadian Border Services Agency). Up to 32 officers will be able to train at any given time, firing over a distance of

NewsMedical pot rules unleash ‘bedlam’ among B.C. docs

Jeff NagelBlack Press

B.C. doctors are being divided into two camps – the ones who will prescribe medical marijuana to their patients and the majority who won’t.

And that split, driven wider by new federal rules for authorizing the drug’s use, has triggered a rush of doctor shopping by those seeking prescription pot.

“It’s now bedlam out there,” said Dr. Bill Cavers, president-elect of Doctors of B.C. (formerly the B.C. Medical Association), who puts the blame squarely at the feet of Health Canada.

“I don’t envy the patients who feel they benefit from medical marijuana because now it’s getting more dif-ficult to access it.”

Under the old system, physicians merely signed a form that verified their patient had one of the medical conditions for which marijuana can be used. Final approval was up to Health Canada.

Now, responsibility has been downloaded to doctors, who sign what amounts to a prescription to buy weed from a regulated commer-cial producer.

Cavers said many doctors won’t sign – even ones who were previ-ously authorizing medical pot for the same patients – because of the added responsibility and liabil-ity they now face, as well as strong cautions from the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons.

He said doctors prescribe no other drug where there is no offi-cial, government-sanctioned scien-tific data or professional guidelines governing its appropriate use, rec-ommended dosage, monitoring or potential dangerous interactions.

“It places physicians in a very,

very difficult position,” Cavers said, who added there are also questions about the strength and consistency of the cannabis, even from regulated producers. “We are a very unhappy group.”

Doctors of B.C. has not yet taken a formal position, but Cavers is urg-ing doctors’ organizations and pro-vincial colleges to pressure Ottawa to rethink the rules.

“It’s absolutely imperative that we move this conversation past the opinions into actual data as to what it works for, how much is to be used and for what period of time,” he said.

Until those studies are ready, Cavers said, Health Canada should revert back to the old system of doctors simply verifying an eligible diagnosis, rather than being forced to act as gate-keepers.

Despite the concerns of profes-sional bodies, significant numbers of B.C. doctors are “far more liberal” in their willingness to prescribe pot, he said.

Cavers said he’s heard of doctors charging fees ranging from $25 to $185 to sign off on medical mari-juana prescriptions.

Such fees for non-insured ser-vices are allowed, although the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons cautions doctors shouldn’t “exploit” patients for personal advantage and should consider factors such as abil-ity to pay.

Pot-friendly doctors have begun clustering into groups and clinics, some going so far as to offer their services online, reviewing patients’ documents via Skype and authoriz-ing pot use.

“I think it’s unprofessional,” Cavers said of web-based pot clinics that offer to help patients circum-vent their regular doctors.

Sensible BC director Dana Larsen said the specializing groups of doc-tors typically charge a few hundred dollars to sign off.

“It’s either providing a really use-ful service or profiteering off sick

people, depending on how you look at it,” Larsen said. “Maybe both.”

Newly diagnosed patients have no legal access to marijuana without a doctor’s permission and they must buy from new commercial produc-ers.

But other legacy users continue to legally grow their own medi-cal pot after a court injunction last month froze Ottawa’s plan to termi-nate their licences.

Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy said a full trial over medical pot users’ right to grow their own will likely go ahead next February.

He said doctors are being too rigid in refusing to prescribe can-nabis.

“I’m trying to figure out why they’re so scared of it,” Conroy said. “There’s no lethal dose yet they’re prescribing all kinds of things on a daily basis that can kill people.

“There are 38,000 [medical mari-juana] patients out there now. Is the sky falling in?”

Health Canada urged to rethink half-baked marijuana policy

New program aimed at helping children achieve a healthy weight

Jennifer FeinbergThe Progress

Here’s a chance to experi-ence traditional Sto:lo foods and tour the ethnobotanical garden outside the Sto:lo Resource Centre on April 26.

It’s all part of the Cultural Experience Series, and the day will include a traditional welcome, lunch by donation, as well as presentations by Carrielynn Victor and Helena Paul.

“As Sto:lo we are still very familiar with the food of our

ancestors,” said Carrielynn Victor.

“Food is very present on the landscape. We typically think of foods like fish and berries, but up to 60 per cent of our diet would have been dried roots and berries.”

It’s all about roots, and shoots come springtime, said Victor.

She will be giving the pre-sentation on traditional plants and foods, like cow parsnip, elderberry or stinging nettle as examples.

“This particular time of

year is exciting with all the shoots popping up.”

The presenter from Cheam First Nation will talk about what foods were often eaten, what was harvested, and who did the harvesting. Later they’ll break into groups and attempt to plan a day’s worth of meals.

Victor says she learned about this traditional knowl-edge as a teen, and became even more interested in wild food when she became a mother. She has a book about edible, medicinal and useful

plants coming out next fall focusing on plant identifica-tion.

Salmon and Bannock lunch will be offered with samples of traditional Sto:lo foods, and they will host tours of the Sto:lo Community Garden and the Shxt’aselhaxwt Ethnobotanical Garden

The event, Experience Sto:lo Foods & Tour Spring Gardens, is Saturday April 26, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Lunch by donation. RSVP to [email protected]

Childhood obesity doesn’t end without a buy-in from the kids.

That’s the message a Chilliwack program is trying to relay to both children and their parents.

MEND, which stands for Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do it, is a free program giving children, and their families, the tools necessary to embrace a healthier lifestyle.

Through fun, engaging activities.The program, coordinated by Chilliwack YMCA and

supported by the B.C. Health Ministry and the Childhood Obesity Foundation, is designed for children between the ages of seven and 13 who are above a healthy weight for their body size.

“In Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley alone, about 35 to 40 per cent of kids are above a healthy weight,” said Andrea Gieselman, kinesiologist and MEND coordinator.

The health implications of being overweight are fright-ening – and not just the longterm effects.

“We’re seeing more and more cases of heart disease, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes creeping into younger and younger age groups,” said Gieselman. “A lot of those are lifestyle impacted ailments.”

MEND is a 10-week program with two two-hour ses-sions a week.

Developed in the UK 13 years ago by a group of reg-istered dietitians, behavioural psychologists and leading experts in exercise, it’s had more than 10,000 families successfully complete.

It’s not a diet, a weight-loss fad, or bootcamp. Kids are not strapped to a chair and fed reams of confusing scientific information for hours. Rather, they’re included in the conversation and are introduced to fun games to help them better understand nutrition labels, unrefined foods versus refined foods, healthy fats and sugars versus non-healthy.

The province is sticking to its conten-tious decision to stop dispatching ambu-lances at high speed for less urgent medi-cal calls and municipal fire department first responders are being urged to adopt the same approach.

Officials at B.C. Emergency Health Services have been on the defensive since the November imple-mentation of their new Resource Allocation Plan, which slowed ambulances to posted speeds for dozens of types of routine calls with stable patients.

Ambulance response times have since aver-aged six minutes slow-er provincially and 10 minutes slower in the Lower Mainland for the downgraded calls, according to BCEHS, while enabling about one minute faster responses on urgent lights-and-siren emer-gencies.

Lower Mainland fire chiefs and city coun-cils have denounced the changes as a ser-vice reduction and cite extreme delays for ambulances arriving at

downgraded calls.“We’re absolutely

confident that we’re cor-rect in the assignments that we’ve changed,” said Dr. William Dick, interim vice-president of medical programs at BCEHS. “We are get-ting to sicker patients faster.”

He and other offi-cials at a Tuesday media briefing argued against sending munic-ipal first responders at high speed to calls that aren’t medically urgent when those firefighters can only provide “com-fort care” while waiting longer for ambulance paramedics to arrive under their revised protocol.

First responders are now “unnecessarily” rushing with lights and siren to 35 per cent of their calls, according to George Papadopoulos, quality and safety direc-tor at BCEHS.

“That has created a gap in response time that is being used in the media to say there’s downloading [of ambu-lance costs to cities],” he said. “If they imple-mented the changes that we’ve implement-ed for ourselves there would be no gap in the response times. And therefore no argument

around downloading.”Cities could save

money if they adopted the same rules for their first respond-ers, BCEHS says, and also reduce the risk of crashes between their responding fire trucks and the public.

There were 225 ambulance crashes with the public while lights and sirens were on in the last three years, and passing emergency vehicles

are also blamed in other “wake collisions” where other vehicles collide trying to get out of the way.

Although BCEHS could impose the pri-ority changes on first responder dispatch as well, it has said it will abide by the wishes of municipalities.

BCEHS board chair Wynne Powell said he thinks cities will agree to fall in line voluntarily and consultations with

them are continuing.So far 26 out of 160

municipalities con-sulted by BCEHS have requested more information or raised concerns. Surrey and Vancouver have submit-ted the most requests for reviews of ambu-lance call responses.

Powell called report-ed waits of one hour and more “outliers.”

An expert review of the changes is to report next week and BCEHS

is pledging ongoing assessments in the months ahead.

NDP health critic Judy Darcy said patient safety has been put at risk, noting calls such as convulsions and electrocution by light-ning are among the nearly 30 per cent of trips now downgraded to routine dispatch.

But BCEHS says such characterizations are inaccurate.

Electrocution and

motor-vehicle accident calls are broken down to many sub-catego-ries, some of which are dispatched as routine, and others with lights and siren, depending on the information dis-patchers receive.

Powell also urged “complacent” motorists to pull over for ambu-lances now that lights-and-siren responses are reserved for more critical cases.

Abbotsford/Mission FUTURE SHOP – Correction Notice

In the April 18 flyer, on page 12, the HP All-In-One PC Featuring AMD E1-2500 APU with AMD Radeon HD Graphics (WebID: 10283826) was advertised with an incorrect processor logo. Please be advised that this all-in-one has an E1 processor NOT an A10, as previously advertised. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused our valued customers.

50 metres. The RCMP will lease the building from CEPCO for the first five years, then purchase it at a total end-cost of $19 million.

“This indoor firing range will ensure that we train police officers in a state-of-the art facility,” said Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens, Commanding Officer, BC RCMP, calling it “an asset to the law enforcement community.”

Most importantly to anyone living or working near the new firing range, tilt-up concrete walls and other technology ensure the building will be completely sound-proofed.

“It will be completely indoors, meaning no sound at all will be heard from the outside,” CEPCO’s director of special projects, John Jansen told The Progress in late March.

Added RCMP Supt. Michel Legault: “We are very confident that there will be very, very little noise.”

Supt. Michel Legault speaks during the $19-mil-lion federal funding announcement for a new indoor RCMP firing range. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

movement really is not acceptable.”

Phase two of the BC Teachers’ Federation plan is rotating one-day walkouts in districts around the province. Phase three, a full-scale strike, would require a second vote by members to authorize.

The BCTF has reject-ed the government’s offer for a 10-year agree-ment with pay increases totalling 6.5% over the first six years and addi-tional wage increases to be negotiated for the final four years.

BCTF negotiators countered with a three-year proposal with three

per cent plus a cost-of-liv-ing increase in each year. With compounding and current estimates of infla-tion, BCPSEA calculates that could amount to 13.5 per cent over three years.

The Ministry of Education has said it will respond to the strike action by seeking an order that the union pay for its extended benefits during any withdrawal of service.

That would cost about $5 million a month for 41,000 public school teachers.

“In order that there is in fact pressure on both sides, BCPSEA needs to respond to any phase one activities with measures

that put corresponding pressure on the union,” Peter Cameron, chief negotiator for the educa-tion ministry wrote in a letter to the union.

Johnston, however, wants to make it clear job action is not an easy road for teachers.

“We’re professionals who do this not just for a pay cheque, but because it’s a job we love,” he said “And we put in extra-cur-ricular time and do tons of stuff outside of our work hours. So when we do an action like this that requires our members to respect stricter timelines and to not put that extra effort in, that is difficult on our members.

“But we need some kind of deal so education gets the stability the gov-ernment says it wants.”

One way is through MEND Detective.

Every child partici-pant is given a wallet-sized information card

with a magnifying glass attached. With their magnifiers, they review labels and sleuth out the MEND friendly and MEND unfriendly ingre-dients.

“We’re not telling them they can’t eat MEND unfriendly ingre-dients, we just want them to be more aware and eat more of the MEND friendly ingredients,”

said Gieselman.“We’re asking families

to make small changes and we’re equipping them with the informa-tion and tools to make those changes manage-

able.”There’s also a physical

activity component that has kids playing games, like “rock-paper-scissors Olympics, to get their heart rates elevated,

their breathing intensi-fied, and most important, their laughter roaring.

“A lot of these kids really lack confidence in a physical setting,” said Gieselman. “The MEND

physical activity compo-nent really helps build their confidence.”

The program isn’t just for kids though. At least one parent or guardian is required to attend the session, where they, too, will learn things like how to eat healthy on a bud-get, and how to incor-porate MEND principles into a busy day, or at a restaurant.

“Role modeling is so important,” said Gieselman.

“Getting kids to change their habits at an early age sets them up for longterm success.”

MEND uses the Body Mass Index scale to determine healthy weight.

The program starts on May 1 at Chilliwack secondary and runs on Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

Participating fami-lies will be provided with a three-month fam-ily membership to the YMCA during the pro-gram, and those that complete will receive an additional three-month pass.

For more informa-tion, contact Andrea Gieselman at 604-799-3732 or [email protected].

NewsMEND: Creating awareness and healthier young bodiesMEND from page 3

The Chilliwack school district did not unani-mously approve a motion last week to rescind its financial support for the Chilliwack Hospital and Health Care Foundation as was reported in the April 18 edition of the Chilliwack Progress [‘Housekeeping’ ends district financial support to CHHC]. The motion was approved with trust-ee Dan Coulter opposed, and Barry Neufeld abstaining.

The Progress apologiz-es for any confusion this may have caused.

PointsProgressThe ChilliwackThe Chilliwack Progress is published by Black Press Group Ltd., every Tuesday and

Hit the switchIt used to be that the old beer fridge, chugging away in the base-

ment at all hours, was your home’s biggest energy hog.And sure, if you have an old beast whirring and humming away, it

would be wise to unplug it and save your bucks.But there’s a new consumer of energy in your home — electron-

ics — and you may be surprised to learn how much your cell phones, PVRs, computers and other gizmos are costing you.

BC Hydro has been increasing its educational programming, through its website and at trade shows, encouraging customers to use less power. And one way is to properly monitor just how much your electronics are driving up your Smart Meter.

While unplugging that old fridge can save you up to $85 a year, properly plugging in your gadgets has the potential to save you more than $100 a year.

Just your PVR alone is costing you more than your average refrig-erator. BC Hydro suggests hooking up your television, DVD, PVR, VCR and surround system to one power bar, and simply clicking the entire thing off when it’s not in use.

“Phantom load” is upping your the cost of your hydro bill, whether you’re home or away, sleeping or awake. Standby power can increase your annual bill by as much as 10%.

If hydro companies could convince everyone in Canada to reduce their products that use standby power, they could power up to 400,000 homes, and emissions reductions would be equivalent to taking a large coal-fired power generating unit offline.

All you have to do to is unplug the things you aren’t using. If we could learn as a society to turn off the lights when we leave the room, surely we can learn to click off the electronics, too.

Finally, BC Hydro’s green team suggests reading a book, and going for a bike ride instead of watching TV at all — the ultimate unplugged experience.

RAESIDE

VICTORIA – Earth Day 2014 will likely go down in B.C. history as less exciting than last year’s event.

That was the day when, in the heat of the election cam-paign, NDP leader Adrian Dix announced in Kamloops that he doesn’t support the expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline to its Burnaby terminal, because Vancouver shouldn’t become a “major oil port.”

As of this Earth Day, it has been an oil port for exactly a century, since Imperial Oil began work on B.C.’s first refinery in 1914, in what is now Port Moody. There were no pipelines then, so crude was moved by rail or tanker.

For 60 years, Trans Mountain has supplied the Chevron refinery in Burnaby that is southern B.C.’s last source of fuel. Some of the Alberta crude is piped south to be

refined into fuels and some of that product is barged back up to B.C. to keep our traffic moving.

Today the proposal to expand and upgrade that pipeline, and to build new oil and natural gas pipe-lines across the north, dominate B.C.’s political scene.

In keeping with the educational aspect of Earth Day, here are some things you

may not know about energy and the environment.

• A recent National Geographic report summarizes the main sources of oil in the oceans around North America. Media coverage focuses on tanker and pipeline spills, but they only account for

eight per cent of the total.Fully 60 per cent of the oil

load in North American waters is from natural seeps, where oil leaks from seafloor rock. One of the world’s largest is off Santa Barbara, California, where 20 to 25 tons flows out each day. It’s mostly consumed by oil-eating bacteria that have adapted and proliferated.

The next biggest source is leakage from cars and trucks, which collects on pavement and is flushed to sea when it rains.

• Earth Day is now preceded by Earth Hour, during which we are encouraged to turn out our lights to join a world-wide gesture of conservation. Many people use the occasion for a candlelight din-ner.

Given that B.C.’s power is near-ly all from renewable hydroelec-tric sources, and that the paraffin

used to make candles is derived from petroleum or coal, this feel-good ritual produces an increase in greenhouse gas emissions.

David Suzuki is now promot-ing the idea of Earth Month, an expansion of the symbolic effort designed to “raise awareness.” This is a popular notion in the climate change industry, which to date consists mostly of govern-ment officials and activists flying around the world to conferences in exotic locations to sign agree-ments that lead to, well, not much so far.

• Unlike Earth Hour, B.C.’s car-bon tax on fuels actually appears to be helping to reduce emissions.

An update to provincial data is due this year, but what we have shows a 5.7 per cent decrease in carbon dioxide and other green-house gases between 2007 and 2011.

Environment ministers have conceded that some of this is due to the recession that struck in 2008-2009. But since the economy has recovered and begun to grow again, emissions have continued to decline.

• There are simple things anyone can do, without gim-micks or government programs. One would be to stop protesting increased housing density in your community.

By far the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions in B.C., not to mention old-fashioned pollution, is transportation. By liv-ing closer to where we work, shop and play, we can exercise our legs instead of just our gas pedal foot to get around.

My name is David Black. I am the majority owner of Black Press, the company that owns this newspaper. This is the first of two columns address-ing what I see as the greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime. I am a reason-ably sensible and conservative businessman, not an alarmist. All of the information in this column can be confirmed from public sources.

The oil industry wants to export Alberta bitumen to Asia via tankers. Under no circum-stances should we allow that to happen. A bitumen spill at sea could destroy our coast-line, together with the fish and wildlife that depend on it, for hundreds of years.

Bitumen, even if it is diluted, does not float in sea water if there is sediment present. This has been proven many times, most recently in a thorough Environment Canada study pub-lished on Nov. 30, 2013. Page 51 of the study provides graphic evidence of sunken bitumen. Given that there is an abun-dance of sediment along the B.C. coast, the bitumen will sink rapidly and there will be little chance of recovering any of it if there is a spill. By Northern Gateway’s own admission the likelihood of a bitumen spill at sea is over 10 per cent over the next 50 years. Others say that it is much higher. We are in agreement with the posi-tion taken by the Coastal First Nations that even the slight-est risk of a spill of bitumen at sea is unacceptable.

The grounding of the Exxon Valdez in Alaska in 1989 is often held up as an example of how bad an oil spill at sea can be, however, a spill of bitumen

at sea would be much worse. The Exxon Valdez carried light crude and lost 250,000 barrels, one eighth of a tanker load. The light oil floated and could be removed from the beach-es. Even so, after four years of work with up to 11,000 workers and 1,400 boats involved, less than 10 per cent of it was recov-

ered. Roughly 200,000 birds and many kinds of other wild-life were killed. Approximately 1,300 miles of shoreline were affected and the fishery has yet to fully recover. Bitumen is very dif ferent. It

would harden up on shore and much of it would sink to the bot-tom, making it unrecoverable and killing virtually everything with which it came in contact. Imagine if we lost a full tanker load.

Some say that, with GPS-based navigation and double hulls, spills such as Exxon Valdez are not possible today. They are wrong. Double hulls do not prevent hull fracture if there is a collision at speed, only if there is a gentle scrape. As for the GPS claim, most marine accidents are caused by human inattention, not by a lack of knowledge about position. All ships carried systems to indi-cate their location before GPS came along. The Exxon Valdez crew could have glanced at their instruments to determine their location but they didn’t, neither did the crew on the Queen of the North. Marine disasters regularly occur and a quick search of the internet shows

human error is most often the problem. Undoubtedly there will be many more marine acci-dents in future. Our grandchil-dren will not thank us if we will-ingly risk the destruction of the B.C. coast on our watch.

Fortunately there is a solu-tion that is beneficial for all concerned: all we have to do is build a refinery at Kitimat. The refinery will convert the bitu-men to gasoline, diesel and jet fuel which float and evaporate if they are spilled. Often little or no spill remediation is required. These refined fuels simply do not cause the habitat destruc-tion of conventional or synthetic crude oil, or anywhere near the devastation caused by bitumen.

The second part of this OPED will run in the next issue. It will discuss the enormous value-add benefits and environ-mental advantages of a modern green refinery. The pipeline from Alberta and the tanker fleet to export the refined fuels will also be considered.

Let me declare my biases. I am for creating thousands of good permanent jobs in B.C. I am for creating billions of new tax dollars for government coffers. I am for reducing the planet’s greenhouse gas emis-sions. I am for building an oil pipeline that will never leak. I am for building a modern tank-er fleet that carries only refined fuels that float and evaporate if spilled. I am against shipping bitumen in tankers.

If you agree that we should not put bitumen in tankers please contact your local MP and say so. The Canadian gov-ernment makes a decision on this next month.

Accessing the bitumen threat

Nothing nice about liceI am a parent of

seven children who have grown and have children f their own. I am now raising grand-children in the school system and I am so angry.

Lice is a terrible

thing to get. In the days when my kids were little, if a child had lice he/she was sent home until the problem was resolved.

Imagine my surprise when someone in my granddaughter’s class

got lice and the infor-mation given was that there is lice in your classroom and it is being dealt with.

No child was away from school.

You weren’t given the name of the child

because the child has rights. Well so do the other 30 kids in the classroom.

There needs to be a different way to deal with this issue.

Fairn Sanders

Last Sunday saw 80 volunteers lend a hand at the 14th Annual Vedder Mountain Cleanup.

“The problem isn’t our recreational trails. They are pristine. The prob-

lem is almost entirely on the roadsides of the forest service road that branches off Cultus Lake Road near the village and rings nearly all the way around the mountain,”

stated VMTA President Dr. Mark Steinebach.

Every year around this time the Vedder Mountain Trails Association hosts the cleanup event in con-

junction with the City of Chilliwack’s Pitch-In ini-tiative to try to tackle the tonnes of garbage ille-gally dumped on Vedder Mountain.

“This isn’t caused by

recreational users and the large volunteer turn out and general revul-sion amongst trail users for this illegal activity is proof of that,” Steinebach added. “We (recreation-

ists) absolutely love this area and we are willing to literally do the heavy lifting to keep it beauti-ful.”

It’s been frustrating.“Collectively we

dream of the day when the special geniuses that think it is cheaper and easier to drive their gar-bage and old appliances up here to set loose will realize that it is actu-ally cheaper and easier to take to the Bailey Landfill on Bailey Road.”

Every year VMTA volunteers clean up gar-bage ranging from recy-clables, domestic/house-hold garbage, waste from marijuana grow-ops and meth-labs and construc-tion materials. This year saw the efforts of vol-unteers extend further along the Forest Service road than in previous years. This resulted in the removal of over 1000 pounds of scrap metal, 2000 pounds of garbage along with car tires and numerous bags of recy-clables. Even with more volunteers than in past years covering a larger area, the yield of gar-bage removed was down modestly from previous years. “I am certainly hopeful that this may become a trend,” stated Steinebach. When asked why he thinks there has been a modest decrease in the illegal dumping, Steinebach added, “this may be as a result of the heavy and increasing recreational use this area gets. The many eyes and ears in the forest as well as VMTA’s well publicized use of motion sensitive cameras in an attempt to reduce trail vandalism issues may be partially responsible for yielding this positive out-come.”

In addition to the clean up initiative, about 20 volunteers stayed on after the event and gave some additional time towards some trail main-tenance. Included in this work was movement of wood needed for the construction of some 11 bridges needed to keep trail traffic out of sensi-tive water ways.

The VMTA event could not be achieved without a broad base of volunteer and spon-sor support including, Mike Peters (Recreation Sites and Trails BC – MFLNRO), Jack’s Cycle, City of Chilliwack, Ricardo’s Pizza, First Class Disposals, Valley Veterinary Services, Clif bar, Chilliwack water store, Clearbrook Coffee, Urban Endo, Old Yale Brewing Co, Lafarge, and Chilliwack Search and Rescue.

Anne of Green Gables is always depicted as impossibly cute and spunky.

Sarah Stewart, 19, of Chilliwack, epitomizes the role of Anne.

In fact Stewart was cast in the title role even though she was bat-tling a cold during the audition, says director Emily Hamel.

“Sarah is just amazing and really brings the character of Anne to life. I think it’s her energy and unique take on everything.

“She just killed it in the dance auditions.”

The Chilliwack Players’ Guild production of Anne of Green Gables - The Musical is April 24 to May 3 at the Cultural Centre.

They’ve been giving it all they’ve got at rehearsals in the Guild Hall.

“I really wanted the dance num-bers to be stellar,” Hamel says.

This is Hamel’s first musical for the Guild as director.

“I’m having a really great time,” she says.

She’s a veteran of the musical genre having performed in a num-ber of them since she was 12, with the Academy of Music workshops.

Hamel has also directed one-acts plays for the Guild, and a romantic comedy called Sabrina Fair most recently.

“Anne was a big hero of Sarah’s,” explains Hamel. “When she was cast, she was so excited.”

Like many kids, they both grew up loving Anne. They’re working with the musical version written by Don Harron.

Anne is the opinionated red-haired orphan whose fictional adventures begin when she is sent

to help the Cuthberts, a broth-er and sister team on a farm in Avonlea, Prince Edward Island.

Anne Shirley has a fiery tem-per to go with those red braids and freckles, which she is not too crazy about by the way. But she’s also passionate, or sometimes day-dreaming and yearning for a more elegant life. It was anything rather than concentrating on those vexing farm chores.

She has been established as a Canadian literary character so well defined, she even transcends world cultures, and the stories were trans-lated into dozens of languages.

“She’s even big in Japan.”It doesn’t hurt that there’s been

a surge in interest by some new people seeking to get involved with local theatre in Chilliwack.

The Anne of Green Gables — the Musical has been winning fans

over since 1965, making it the lon-gest running musical in Canada.

The Players’ Guild cast of group of 43 to perform and crew of 36 have been working hard behind the scenes. Together they’ve been putting all the complex elements together, with vocal coaching by Larissa Blenkarn, choreography by Pauline Dynowsky, and musical direction by Christine Millar.

Hamel read the original 1908 book by Lucy Maud Montgomery when she was younger, but also saw the mini series later aired on TV by Sullivan Entertainment.

“I think Anne has become so iconic because she’s so honest and speaks her mind. She has no fear of showing people who she is, even if that sometimes backfires on her.”

The director knows a thing or two about the redhead’s fictional chronicles. Hamel played the role

of Anne’s friend, Diana Barry, in a production of the musical some years back, while Guild choreog-rapher Dynowsky played Anne, so there’s a strong familiarity with the material.

They’ve been running through their paces every Saturday with the chorus to get the musical numbers up to par.

“Slowly we’ve been adding the vocal work and the blocking, and it’s really paid off.

“I hardly have to direct any of them,” she says happily.

• Anne of Green Gables - The Musical, 7:30 p.m., April 24 to May 3, in the Hub International Theatre of the Cultural Centre. Tickets $30/$25, and family discount night on April 30 when all tickets are $18. Matinees on April 27 and May 3, at 2 p.m. 604-391-SHOW (7469)

The fashion runways of New York might seem a long way from Chilliwack, but Nalla Steigvilas is determined to bring them a little closer.

She’s recently opened Little Village Shoe Boutique on Mill Street in downtown Chilliwack. The shop, which opened three weeks ago, brings the high-end fashions of Paris and Milan and makes them accessible to cus-tomers locally.

There’s an elegancy and inti-macy inside. The design cap-tures the salon-style of a Fifth Avenue boutique, with warm browns and cream accents. A comfortable couch and inviting armchairs provide the perfect place to relax and savour the experience.

“The ladies enjoy the comfort while trying on the shoes, and the men enjoy the comfort while waiting or offering feedback,” she says.

But the shoes are the real stars, and they’re showcased to capture their beauty and crafts-manship.

Nalla has brought in some of the biggest names in the indus-try, names like Nine West, Steve

Madden, Anne Klein, Franko Sarto, Bandolino and Enzo.

They are brands that many women will recognize, but none will find in Chilliwack – particu-

larly in the variety of styles that the Little Village Shoe Boutique offers.

The boutique is the culmi-nation of a dream, and the

fulfillment of a passion. After a 35-year career in the bank-ing industry, Nalla decided to return to her retail roots – a background that taught her the

thrill of fashion and style, and the importance of capturing that shopping experience.

As the former branch man-ager of the downtown Bank of Montreal, she says she under-stands the community and the challenges professionals some-time faced searching for fash-ions to help them look their best. Women who wanted to wear the styles she’s now offer-ing would have to travel as far as Vancouver to find them.

She knew there was an appe-tite for higher-end retail stores in Chilliwack, and she’s confi-dent the newly renovated Mill Street is the perfect place for that shopping experience.

Nalla is proud of her store, particularly the full-length mir-ror that lets women see more than just the shoe.

In addition to the shoes, Little Village also offers a comple-menting line of handbags and accessories to finish the look.

Little Village Shoe Boutique is located at 9373 Mill Street. For more information, call 604.792.1616.

For anyone looking to get the most out of their workout regime, there’s a new king in town.

Supplement King recently opened its Chilliwack location. And owner Jordan Grypuik couldn’t be happier.

“This is something Chilliwack has needed for a long time,” he says.

The new store, located in the new retail space adjacent to Safeway, offers a bright and accessible selection of prod-ucts for people concerned about overall fitness and body health.

It’s something Jordan has been passionate about since he first started working out when he was 16. What he real-ized was that the body needs protein to perform well and get stronger.

At the time, there were few choices. Jordan, now 24, spent five years working and sav-ing money in Fort McMurray. He’s now back in Chilliwack, hoping to offer something he feels the community is ready for.

The supplement industry

has grown substantially since he first walked into a gym. Today, there are a dizzying

array of products that help you prepare, perform and recover from a workout.

And it’s gone far beyond protein powder. Supplement King offers a range of high

protein products like breads and nutrition bars, vitamins, as well as zero fat and zero calo-rie spreads and food products.

Supplement King is a growing franchise operation, started only nine years ago by Roger King. There are now 11 locations in four provinces, and it’s growing.

“It’s huge,” says Jordan. But it’s not just the body builders who are driving that growth.

Anyone interested in fitness or maintaining a healthy body weight can find the products and expertise to help them, Jordan says. “We all need pro-tein.”

Supplement King’s success is based on knowledgable ser-vice, an expansive product line and a competitive price.

For Jordan, that’s a power-ful mix.

“I want to offer Chilliwack the best service and selection at the best price,” he says.

Supplement King is located at 102 - 45833 Alexander Ave.

For more information, call 604.392.3977, or find them on facebook.

Jordan Grypuik is the owner of Supplement King on Alexander Avenue.

Chilliwack kid chooses the Chiefs

For one season at least, Chilliwack’s Ryan Bowen is stay-ing home.

The 16 year old has chosen to play for the Chiefs in 2014-15 rather than pursue major junior hockey.

Bowen is a fifth round bantam draft pick of the Western Hockey League’s Moose Jaw Warriors, and could have made a run at a roster spot with the Manitoba-

based team.But the teenager,

who self-scouts him-self as a puck-han-dling play-making centre, thought a year of junior A would be better for his development.

“Jason (new Chiefs coach and GM Tatarnic) presented an opportunity that I couldn’t turn down,” Bowen said. “While it’s true I signed a WHL contract, Jason understood my desire to be a con-tributing player at 16. We decided together that the best thing right now for my development, as a player in a situation where I could have a meaningful impact on a team, is with the

Chiefs.”Bowen spent last

season with the Okanagan Hockey Academy’s U18 midget prep team.

In 41 games, he scored 12 goals and added 20 assists.

He skated at the Chiefs spring camp two weekends ago, impressing Tatarnic.

“During spring camp our job was to identify talented players,” the coach said. “This player did a number of things well and every time I checked the name with the number it was Ryan. He is a tal-ented player and we look forward to being part of his develop-ment. He may have a bright future ahead

of him. I think he’s very excited to play in his hometown.”

Bowen is definitely excited to play for the Chiefs.

“I have a lot of respect for the guys that have come before me like Doug Ast, Paul Nicolls, Nathan Martz and Cam Campbell just to name a few,” he said. “I grew up watching the franchise and am excited to now be a part of it. The clincher was Jason Tatarnic and listen-ing to what kind of team he wants to build here. I’m excit-ed to be a part of it and still can’t believe I have the opportuni-ty to play in my home town.”

Dan Kinvig,Black Press

The commissioner of the Western Hockey League says the major junior circuit has interest in Abbotsford as a potential market.

But Ron Robison qualified that statement by noting that the WHL is not open to expan-sion at this point, and does not have any pending appli-cations for relocation from existing franchises. In any event, the league wouldn’t be able to get a franchise into Abbotsford in time for the 2014-15 season.

“Like everyone else, we just became aware that mar-ket will be available,” Robison told The News, alluding to Tuesday’s announcement that the City of Abbotsford would pay $5.5 million to ter-minate the final five years of its supply fee contract with the Abbotsford Heat of the American Hockey League.

“We are familiar with the building – it’s an outstanding facility, and it’s a market we have interest in. At this partic-ular stage, we do not have any future plans for expansion, so the only way we would con-sider Abbotsford would be through the relocation of one of our existing teams.

“But having said that, we always continue to look to explore other options in the event we do have a request for relocation. Certainly we’ll put Abbotsford on our list and do some further due dili-gence as to its potential for a WHL franchise.”

Robison said that the WHL’s deadline for reloca-tion applications is Jan. 31, and while the league will con-sider requests to move after that date under “special cir-cumstances,” it’s too late in the year to get a team into Abbotsford for this fall.

The WHL, which features players age 20 and under, is very familiar with the Fraser Valley market – the Chilliwack Bruins played in the league from 2006 to 2011, before being sold to a group from Victoria and moved to the B.C. capital.

“Having two franchis-es of similar calibre in the American League and the Western League in close proximity . . . presented some challenges for our Chilliwack franchise,” Robison said. “On a stand-alone basis, we believe that Fraser Valley area can support a WHL franchise.”

The economics of the WHL in Abbotsford would be far different than the AHL. Travel was a large part of the Heat’s $5.7 million annual operating budget, owing to their far-flung location rela-tive to the rest of the league, and the fact they had to cover opposing teams’ travel costs to play here.

In the WHL, teams travel by bus rather than by plane, and there are currently six teams in B.C. – the Vancouver Giants, Victoria Royals, Kelowna Rockets, Kamloops Blazers, Prince George Cougars and Kootenay Ice – and four in Washington state.

Robison said Abbotsford would be “a mid-market clas-

sification in our league,” and estimated that an annual operating budget would be around $3 million.

At Tuesday’s press con-ference, Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman expressed openness to interest from the WHL, and said he hasn’t closed the book on having an AHL team in town, providing it was revenue-positive for the city.

AHL commissioner David Andrews wasn’t available for comment this week, but it seems highly unlikely that Abbotsford could land another AHL team in time for the coming season. Last year, the City of Abbotsford announced on April 22 that its negotiations to land the Vancouver Canucks’ AHL affiliate had stalled, citing “time constraints” among the factors.

As for the Canucks, they ended up moving their top farm team to Utica, N.Y. after talks with Abbotsford broke down.

They just completed the first year of a reported six-year agreement, and issued a statement this week affirm-ing their commitment to the Utica market.

“The Vancouver Canucks are committed to our AHL affiliate, the Utica Comets and enjoy a strong relation-ship with our partner club,” the statement read. “A strong base of Utica fans have shown tremendous support throughout the season and the Canucks intend to honour our long-term partnership agreement with the Comets.”

Outsiders bounce Betties

A pair of Chilliwack natives competed in the Male U-16 BC Cup hockey tournament, held last weekend at the Shaw Centre in Salmon Arm.

Nikolas Sourtzis played for the Bruins. His crew went 2-2, start-ing off with a Thursday morning win over the Sabres.

Wearing No. 11, Sourtzis set up the first goal in the 4-1 triumph, scored by Kelowna’s Owen Hardy.

Sourtzis collected another assist in a 7-6 loss to the Stars, and tallied two goals and a helper in his team’s final game, a 7-4 win over the Flyers.

Meanwhile, Jesse Nelson skated at for-ward for the Penguins. His team went 2-2 with wins over Sourtzis’s Bruins (1-0) and the

Wild (4-1). Nelson was held

pointless in the tourna-ment.

The Stars claimed top spot with a 4-0 cham-pionship game victory over the Avalanche.

The Chilliwack two hope their performanc-es will be enough to net them invites to a Team BC selection camp, running July 9-13 in Nanaimo.

Invites will be announced in the next two weeks.

Notable players who went through this process and on to bigger things include Brent Seabrook of the National League’s Chicago Blackhawks, Brandon McMillan of the Anaheim Ducks and Brett Connolly of the Tampa Bay Lightning.

It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of our loving husband, father, grandfather, Casey Van den Dorpel after a brief illness of pancreatic cancer. He slipped away peacefully with Brenda by his side at Cascade Hospice on April 17th, 2014 at the young age of 63.

Casey is survived by his loving wife Brenda of 44 years, his children and grandchildren; daughter Leanne Dahl and her children; Michael, Dylan and Breanne Mackay. His son Michael (Wanda) and their two sons Matthew and Steven. Also, youngest son Richard.

He is also survived by his brother; Martin (Rene), sister Susan (Len Visscher), brother Frank (Nella) Van den Dorpel, brother-in-law Tony Hodge (Candy), sister-in-law Paulette Rennie (Bill) and sister-in-law Kelley Newlove.

He was predeceased by their daughter Susanna (1971), nephew Marty Van den Dorpel (1986), grandson Bradley Van den Dorpel (1994) and his parents Catherina (2000) and Hubert Van den Dorpel (2007).

Throughout his working career, Casey did a variety of work. For the last 27 years he was employed at Westform Metal Products.

Casey was well known for his love of engines and cars. His pride and joy was the restoring of his 1975 Triumph TR6. He was a member of the B.C.T.R. Club for 24 years. Brenda and Casey enjoyed many good times together travelling throughout the years to many diff erent car shows. His TR6 won them many trophies and awards.

He was also a member of the Atchelitz Threshermen’s Association since 2000. He was president of the Association from 2006-2012. On the weekends you could fi nd Casey with his brother Frank making many great memories while puttering around their cabin.

Casey loved spending time with his family and friends especially their annual trip to Hawaii. For the past twelve years Casey and Brenda enjoyed Hawaii together in December and January. He loved sharing his many pictures and stories with his children and grandchildren.

Funeral services will be held on Thursday, April 24th at 2:00 pm at Henderson’s Funeral Home in Chilliwack, interment at Chilliwack Cemetery, 10010 Hillcrest Drive with reception to follow at Henderson’s Funeral Home.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Tracy Lynn Skripnik, who died sud-denly at the Chilliwack Gener-al Hospital in the early morn-ing of April 11, 2014.Tracy was a strong, beautiful, loving mother, sister, aunt and a true friend! She was loved by everyone who knew her. Tracy was an amazing mother who cared for her two boys, Daniel Clayton Skripnik and Cole John Skripnik with her entire heart. Her boys were her world! She was a great friend to many with her door always open. Tracy had the biggest heart as anyone I know! She was there when you needed her and someone you could depend on. I know she would have wanted no tears to be shed, but just hap-py memories left in our heads. So in honour of you Tracy we will do just this....and cherish each moment as you would have wished.

Land Act and Water ActNotice of Public Meeting on Proposed Frosst Creek

Hydroelectric Project and Intention to Apply for a Disposition of Crown Land and Allocation of Water

Development Plan Template (DPT) Preparation

You are invited to a public information meeting at 7:00 PM on Tuesday May 6, 2014 regarding Frosst Creek Hydro Inc.’s (FCHI) application to the Provincial Government for an ~ 3.5 MW Run-of-River hydroelectric project on Frosst Creek. The meeting will take place in the Columbia Valley Community Centre (1202 Kosikar Rd., Lindell Beach, BC V2R 4X6).

FCHI, a subsidiary of Zella Holdings Ltd., of Lindell Beach, BC, has applied to the Provincial Government for a hydroelectric power project (Project). The Project Crown land tenure application covers:

That part of Section 4, Township 22, east of the Coast Meridian, with that parcel or tract of land in the vicinity of Frosst Creek, with unsurveyed foreshore or land covered by water being part of the bed of Frosst Creek, Group 1, New Westminster District, containing 110.4 ha, more or less

The proposed Project is at the base of Isar Mountain and International Ridge in the Columbia Valley near Lindell Beach, ~ 3 km southwest of Cultus Lake, BC. The proposed project will utilize < 1.45 m3/s of water diverted from Frosst Creek and will return all waters to Frosst Creek at ~ 248 meters elevation. Water works include: intake/weir, headpond, penstock, powerhouse, tailrace, and power line. The powerhouse, power line and lower portion of the penstock will be on FCHI’s private property at 42892 Frost Road, Lindell Beach, BC. The intake is at ~ 640 meters elevation, ~ 7 km upstream of the confl uence of Frosst Creek and Cultus Lake, located outside of Cultus Lake Provincial Park. Please visit http://www.zellacorp.com for more information.

Written comments regarding the Project should be directed to Frosst Creek Hydro (42892 Frost Road, Lindell Beach, BC V2R 4X8; [email protected]; 604 746-7724), with a copy of all correspondence provided to the Project Lead, Veronica Villar-Singh of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) at #200-10428 153 St., Surrey, BC V3R 1E1 or [email protected]. When commenting, please quote FCHI’s application fi le numbers (Land File 2410785 and Water File 2003549). If you are a water licence holder, you must identify your water license number in your response. Comments received before May 2 will be addressed in the meeting on May 6. The proposed Project DPT will be posted under “Frosst Creek Hydro Inc.” on the MFLNRO website http://www.arfd.gov.bc.ca/ApplicationPosting/index.jsp. Any response to this advertisement will be considered part of the public record. For more info., contact a Freedom of Information Advisor at an MFLNRO regional offi ce.
