‘Harmony on the river’ amid sockeye salmon chaosJennifer FeinbergThe Progress
Sockeye season is in full swing.So it was seen as perfect timing
Saturday for a Harmony on the River event at Island 22, organized by the Fraser River Peacemakers.
It was a chance to underline the importance of wearing PFDs, and ways to avoid in-river conflicts. They talked about catch monitoring and strategies to reduce crowding in the hotspots.
Peacemaker co-chairs Ernie Crey and Rod Clapton were among those greeting fishermen and the public for several hours by the river near Chilliwack over the weekend.
“The traffic has been steady,” said Clapton, president of the B.C. Federation of Drift Fishers.
Fishermen were showing up in droves at Island 22 Regional Park Saturday to bag the recreational limit of two sockeye per day on that part of the river. Pickup trucks were coming and going all day long, with boat trail-ers in tow, from the boat launch.
Promoting peace and safety on the Fraser is paramount — especially dur-ing sockeye season, said Peacemakers co-chair Ernie Crey, also a Cheam band councillor.
“Both fisheries are growing, and sharing the same waters and fishing

The B.C. government has launched a new website to pre-pare parents for a possible con-tinuation of the teacher strike after Labour Day.
The website, bcparentinfo.ca, promises the latest bargain-ing updates on B.C.’s festering teacher dispute, and will act as a portal for parents registering to collect $40 a day for each child under 12 if the strike drags on.
It also offers links to online
learning resources from school districts, which have prolifer-ated in recent years.
Talks have continued under a media blackout since mediator Vince Ready met the two sides last week.
“Mr. Ready agreed to moni-tor the situation, and to resume exploratory talks or commence full mediation when he believes it will be productive,” the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and B.C. Public School Employers’ Association said in a brief state-ment.
Negotiations broke off and a full-scale strike and lockout ended the school year in June. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher met both sides earlier but declined to attempt mediation, after finding too large a gap between the two sides.
Education Minister Peter Fassbender and BCPSEA chief negotiator Peter Cameron have maintained that the BCTF’s benefit demands remain far beyond those of other public
sector unions that have settled contracts. Also at issue is class size and special needs support, with BCPSEA’s latest offer rejected by the union and the latest of a series of court actions scheduled for this fall.
Ready’s last involvement in the long-running series of teach-er disputes was as an industrial inquiry commissioner in 2007. At that time he recommended that a senior provincial official be involved in talks along with an independent mediator.

Chilliwack firefighters were busy Monday morning, battling a pair of blazes.
Firefighters from three halls were called out just after midnight to a barn fire in the 5900 block of Sumas Prairie Road.
They arrived to find several connected barns on fire, with flames reaching out to damage an adjacent house.
The barns, which were being used to shelter a legal grow operation, couldn’t be saved. The house had some damage to
the exterior siding and there were no inju-ries. The fire is considered to be acciden-tal, possibly related to the grow operation.
Just after 3 a.m., a security guard at the Legacy Pacific site saw sparks and smoke coming from a building in the 44000 block of Simpson Road. Firefighters from four halls faced a tall task when they arrived.
A cover-all structure with agricultural products inside was ablaze, along with an adjacent agricultural manufacturing build-
ing. The cover-all structure and every-thing inside was completely destroyed. Firefighters extinguished the fire in time to save the adjacent building, save for minor fire and smoke damage.
There were no injuries.The cause of the fire is considered
accidental and is related to the spontane-ous combustion of the stored agricultural products.
Firefighters from Hall No. 6 in Greendale were still on scene Monday morning when a backhoe was brought in following a barn fire on Sumas Prairie Road. The blaze broke out around 1 a.m. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Cultus official resigns to focus on fall electionJennifer FeinbergThe Progress
A Cultus Lake Park Board com-missioner says he was “compelled” to step down just a few short months before the next election.
Bob McCrea suddenly resigned from the Cultus Lake Park Board this week.
The former board chair said he’ll now be devoting his energy to getting new people elected in upcoming elections, when the new configuration takes effect.
Come the November election, for the first time, there will be three park board commission-ers elected by Cultus Lake resi-dents and leaseholders, and two by Chilliwack residents. The new, streamlined board of five, was reduced in size from seven by the B.C. government, with the help of Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness. It went from a historic configuration of five voted from Chilliwack, and two from Cultus to the new board composition.
“It’s a huge step forward for
the residents of Cultus Lake,” Bob McCrea told The Progress.
During his term on the board he worked closely with a group of local residents who turned out to be instrumental in getting the Cultus Lake Park Act amended, whereby the majority of the board will now be elected by the resi-dents of Cultus Lake.
“The board was asked to facili-tate this change to the Cultus Lake Park Act but four commissioners refused to support it, so the chang-es were initiated without their
knowledge,” he wrote in his resig-nation letter. “This positive change gives Cultus Lake residents the ability to choose good leadership from within their own community.
“I believe I can now serve the public better by spending the next three months free of the con-straints of the board, working to ensure the best candidates get elected.”
He was frustrated when some park board members and senior staff showed what he says was “blatant disregard” for their essen-
tial customer base.“My desire is, and always has
been, to serve and benefit this community by offering the experi-ence that I have gained over my lengthy business career,” McCrea stated in his letter published in a lake newsletter.
McCrea was elected to the park board in 2011 on a platform to restore “old-fashioned service and respect” for park stakeholders, as well as improving park issues, transparency and accountability.
Province orders inspections of mine dams across B.C.Tom FletcherBlack Press
Independent engineering inspections have been ordered for Mount Polley mine near Williams Lake and nearly 100 other mine tailings ponds with permits across the province, with reports to be complete by the end of January.
Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett announced the dual reviews Monday. The Mount Polley investigation is to be complete by Jan. 31 and will be done concurrently with the B.C. gov-ernment’s legally required probes by B.C.’s chief inspector of mines and the environment ministry, which looks at the longer-term effects of the Aug. 4 tailings spill.
Bennett said costs will be covered by Imperial Metals for Mount Polley and by all operators of mines with permits to operate nearly 100 tailings facilities in B.C.

Mediator Vince Ready has met the two sides in B.C.’s festering teacher dispute and agreed to “monitor” the situation.
The B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association announced Ready’s involvement in a joint statement Thursday, confirming that he met separately with nego-tiators Wednesday. A media blackout on the talks began last week and will continue.
“Mr. Ready agreed to monitor the situation, and to resume explor-atory talks or commence
full mediation when he believes it will be pro-ductive,” the statement says.
Talks broke off and a full-scale strike ended the school year in June. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Stephen Kelleher met both sides earlier but declined to attempt mediation, after finding too large a gap between the two sides.
Ready’s last involve-ment in the long-run-ning series of teacher disputes was as an indus-trial inquiry commis-sioner in 2007. At that time he recommended that a senior provincial official be involved in talks along with an inde-pendent mediator.

“Certainly in the last 40 years there’s no evidence of a tailings dam breach in British Columbia, but rare or not, it happened, and so the public’s confi-dence I think is shak-en” Bennett said at a news conference in Vancouver. “That’s why we need to get these three experts involved as quickly as we’re get-ting them involved.”
The Mount Polley panel includes UBC mine engineering professor Dirk Van Zyl, U.S. consulting engineer Steven Vick, whose earlier investiga-tions included the 2005
New Orleans levee breach that followed Hurricane Katrina, and Norbert Morgenstern, an Alberta civil engi-neering professor who has worked on 140 mine projects.
Bennett said the panel was chosen with approval of the Williams Lake and Soda Creek Indian Bands, and their report will be made available to the band councils at the same time as government.

ICBC is preparing to mail out 309,000 refund cheques rang-ing from $1 to $350 to optional auto insurance customers it over-charged since 2008.
Wrong rates were used because of incorrect descrip-tions assigned years ago to many vehicles that are only now being fixed.
The average customer who overpaid all six years will get
a refund of around $108, ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said. The cheques will begin to go out around Aug. 20.
The average overpayment was $18 per year.
The refunds plus interest being paid total nearly $38 million.
Nearly 370,000 other motorists were undercharged because of the glitches.
ICBC won’t go after them for the $53 million in lost revenue.
The faulty vehicle descriptions affected only optional insurance,
not basic rates.The refunds were calculated as
part of two independent external reviews that checked millions of insurance transactions over the past six years.
Auditors who examined ICBC’s handling of the issue con-cluded ICBC knew the problem was systemic as early as 2009 but management hid it from ICBC’s board of directors until mid-2013.
Various fixes were contemplat-ed but discarded, according to the auditors’ report.

Ahead of the smokeA lot has happened since Marc Emery went to jail in the United
States four years ago.Not the least of which the state in which the Vancouver pot activist
was sentenced to five years in federal prison for dealing marijuana seeds has now legalized the sale of cannabis.
While Emery cooled his heels behind bars in Folkston, Ga., and Yazoo City, Miss., Colorado and then Washington became the first states to allow the possession, use, production, distribution and per-sonal cultivation of marijuana. Some states have legalized its use for medical reasons. Another 15 states have decriminalized pot while other states have lowered penalties for possession of small amounts to a misdemeanour.
The tide to accept marijuana for recreational use on par with alco-hol, complete with all the tax revenues their sale generates for govern-ments, seems to be turning.
In Canada, possession of marijuana in any quantity remains illegal. Although enforcement varies from province to province, even between municipalities.
Vancouver police were unperturbed by the marijuana smoke that greeted Emery’s triumphant return to his hometown on Sunday.
Emery’s incarceration in the U.S. wasn’t his first brush with the law. Nor with irony.
When he operated a book shop in London, Ont., in the 1980s, he was charged with defying that province’s laws against stores operating on Sundays. Since 1992 stores in Ontario can open on Sundays.

RAESIDE
VICTORIA – Today I’ll attempt to cut through the speculation and fear-mongering that have swirled around the Mount Polley mine dam breach and tell you what’s really known.
As Black Press and our local publication the Williams Lake Tribune reported before and after the incident, the mine reopened in 2005 after a four-year shut-down and was expanding its operation, including the tailings pond. Rising metal prices helped put 380 unionized employees plus management back to work. Most are now working on rebuilding the tailings dam and cleaning up the spill site.
Imperial Metals applied earlier this summer for an increase in water discharge, and was waiting for B.C. government approval at the time of the Aug. 4 dam breach. This was to be the second amend-
ment to a water release permit issued when the mine started up in 1997. It has had a surplus of water due to rain and snow accu-
mulation since it opened (under an NDP government, for those who want to turn everything into a political cor-ruption story).
The reason water release has been allowed is that in the absence of acid-producing rock, metal con-
tamination of water is minimized. Imperial Metals’ routine tests with rainbow trout in undiluted tailings pond water have now been confirmed by environment ministry results, and water and fish from all but the immediate spill area have been cleared for
human consumption.For an example of acid mine
drainage, look up the Britannia Mine Museum, now a reclaimed national historic site with a water treatment plant built to function for hundreds of years. Before that, acid-produced toxic metal pollution drained from the aban-doned mine into Howe Sound for decades.
Early tests at Mount Polley indicate that this sort of long-term water remediation may not be required. The initial pulse of suspended sediment didn’t last long enough to affect fish in most of Quesnel Lake, much less the Fraser River system. Sediment tests show elevated iron and cop-per, with “leachability” results to come. Containment and removal will have to be undertaken.
On May 24 of this year, Mount Polley received the first high
water warning in its history. This was not a “breach,” contrary to some reports. The latest water permit application and work to raise the dam took place after that.
It’s not difficult to deduce from aerial photos what was happen-ing as mine management found ways to extend operation, includ-ing an underground phase. The pond was filling up with pulver-ized rock, reducing its capacity to hold water. Most of the accumula-tion is still there for all to see, as is the cross-section of the dam so abruptly exposed in the wee hours of Aug. 4.
It may be months before inspectors and geotechnical engi-neers can determine the cause of the breach, which occurred with the water level 2.5 metres below the top of the dam, well within permit specifications. Either the
design of the earthworks was not adequate, or it was not adequately followed.
TV crews have packed up and left, after sucking out the initial drama and retailing every sen-sational claim they could find. Tourism operators are plead-ing with people not to turn their backs on the region after that influx of visitors.
Professional environmentalists are now exploiting Mount Polley as part of their campaign to de-industrialize B.C. A key propa-ganda tool is a single picture of a salmon with skin removed from part of its dorsal region.
No such fish has been pro-duced, and a single rainbow trout collected the day of the spill is the only confirmed aquatic casualty.

Re: “Farm changes a great leap forward” (B.C. Views, Aug. 13).
Agriculture minister Norm Letnick happens to be reduc-ing the harm from Bill 24 (this spring’s ALR bill) with his con-sultation about the ALR regula-tion. However, columnist Tom Fletcher seems confused about its main purpose.
The consultation paper begins with it: “The purpose of this con-sultation is to invite your input on some proposed additional activi-
ties. . . .” That contrasts with the Bill 24 experience, where thou-sands of citizens of all stripes requested consultation and were spurned.
It remains obvious that the bill reduced the protection of farmland in the nine-tenths of the ALR in the new second tier. It is not obvious why Fletcher thinks that fact or a distillery on MLA Lana Popham’s farm is relevant to the current consultation.
In many ways, Letnick’s col-legial process is exemplary. One
gets the sense of a group of peo-ple with down-to-earth knowl-edge working toward careful updates to the ALR Regulation.
To take part, Google “July 2014 Land Commission consulta-tion” without quotes. You’ll find the consultation paper and a sur-vey, open till August 22.
Bill 24 harmed the Agricultural Land Commission and the ALR. The shared success of this con-sultation can bring some healing.

Re: Farm changes a great leap forward (B.C. Views, Aug. 13).
Tom Fletcher’s opin-ions are not shared by any farmers I know.
The B.C. govern-ment’s post-facto “public consulta-tion process” is farci-cal given that Bill 24, which amends the Agricultural Land Commission Act, was passed this May. An authentic public consul-tation process should have been multi-year and province-wide, not invitation-only meet-ings and a one-month-
long token public feed-back process which highlight yet again the magnitude of our dem-ocratic deficit.
Fletcher’s analogy to Mao Tse-tung’s Great Leap Forward is apt, however, given B.C.’s democratic deficit and because Mao’s vision gave rise to China’s Great Famine, result-ing in tens of millions of deaths. The Great Leap Forward has been defined as “a very expensive disaster.”
British Columbians will also pay a high price for the B.C.
Liberal scheme to dras-tically change the ALR, as our food insecurity will increase and farm land even more pol-luted. The “farming” activities proposed by the B.C. Liberals will reduce the land avail-able to grow food. Alcohol has very lim-ited nutritional value.
The B.C. Liberals’ continued support for industrial agriculture, one of the world’s big-gest causes of green-house gas emissions, combined with frack-ing, oil development and anaerobic digest-
ers will further pollute farmland.
Manure from organ-ic farms is worth far more as fertilizer than as fodder for anaerobic digesters; only conven-tional farmers would seek to use their con-taminated manure to generate power.
The B.C. Liberals need to remember that we all eat, includ-ing their buddies in the petroleum and the liquor sectors.

Re: P51 Mustang a no-show at the Chilliwack Flight Fest?
I’m sure you’re receiving queries or comments on this.
Firstly, we appreciate the air-show and all the supporters and assistants, and it’s all free.
However, what happened to the P51 Mustang after all the
publicity?I was there from 11 a.m. to 3
p.m. on Sunday with an out-of-town guest, and there was no P51 appearance or announce-ment. The aircraft was a major reason that we attended, so it was a big disappointment.
Larry Braine
We recently moved to Chilliwack and attended Sunday’s air show. It was very well organized, entertaining and fun for everyone. The fact that it was free was a big fac-tor for all who attended and even the parking was very well organized.
The performers were amaz-ing and well organized, no long delays.
Kudos to all who were involved planning and making this great day happen.

holes,” said Crey. “The questions becomes, how do we share the river safely and accommodate each other’s fisheries?”
When the recreational sockeye fishery was first opened on the Fraser in the mid-1990s, there was no pre-planning or con-sultation by Fisheries and Oceans. That some-times led to misunder-standings and disputes, he said.
“There will be issues on the river for years to come, with potential or actual conflict to deal with,” said Crey. “But with Peacemakers we’ve made a good start. First of all, we’re sitting at the same table.”
The Peacemakers group has been advo-cating catch monitoring and compliance stan-dards, conflict resolu-tion, stewardship, educa-tion and safety. They’ve earned the support of sport fishing groups, B.C. ministries, con-servation groups, First Nations, federal agen-cies and more.
“We hold monthly meetings between the various groups, and we have a conflict resolu-tion committee in place
that could be called if we hear about an incident promptly,” Clapton said.
The group has FN designates, and sport fishing reps who work together in the event of an incident or conflict, to facilitate communica-tions and find a resolu-tion.
They’ve been working at it for five years, in the wake of an altercation between aboriginal and sport fishers. The group worked closely and put out a pamphlet called ‘River Manners,’ which was “created by sport fishers and First Nations on the Fraser who care.”
So what changed over the years since
Peacemakers was formed?
“Attitudes are bet-ter,” Clapton said. “We have more understand-ing about each other’s fisheries. We’ve demon-strated a desire to see changes now and for future generations.”
To get help from the group, to have a river incident investigated by their conflict resolution committee, email [email protected]. Do not report to the Peacemakers any allegations of ille-gal fishing or criminal behaviour, which is the responsibility of RCMP and DFO.

McCrea came to the job with decades of experience in the business world, in real estate and property
management.“In that 40-year
career I have never experienced such bla-tant disregard by man-agement, in this case
some commissioners and some senior park staff, for their “custom-ers” (i.e. residential and commercial lease-holders, staff and the
public) as I have dur-ing my tenure as com-missioner,” he wrote.
Park Board meet-ing minutes make it clear McCrea often
voted against motions that he believed either violated, or appeared to violate, the Cultus Lake Park Act or bylaws or those that
somehow overstepped board authority.
One high pro-file example was the attempt to shut down question period per-
manently by some members of the park board who felt insulted by an alleged lack of “respect” shown by some leaseholders.
“This was a clear breach of the park’s bylaw, and this bylaw breach was con-firmed by the B.C. Ombudsperson,” he noted.
Nonetheless his service as a commis-sioner was both “a privilege and an hon-our,” he added, and he gave thanks to several before his departure.
“First of all, thank you to the commis-sioners who didn’t always agree with me, but supported me and respected my opinion.
“Thank you to the residents, commercial tenants and staff who have often had words of encouragement and supported my efforts to bring forward issues of common concern. It humbled me when individuals would seek me out to discuss their concerns or to seek my advice.”
In response, the Cultus Lake Park Board officially accept-ed McCrea’s resigna-tion this week.
“I would like to thank Bob McCrea for his service to the Cultus Lake Park Board,” said Park board chair Sacha Peter, in a news release.
“We wish him suc-cess in his future endeavours.”
Section 9 of the Cultus Lake Park Act now calls upon City of Chilliwack to appoint a new park board mem-ber to hold the posi-tion for the remainder of the current term of office.

Katie BartelThe Progress
Scott Wallace won’t have time to think of the pain surging through every inch of his mus-cled body.
Fifteen seconds and it will all be over.
But give it a second after, he says, and he is sure to collapse.
If not from the physi-cal exertion, then the pride of knowing his son’s daycare is one step closer to getting a much-needed new playground.
Wallace is a Strongman. Since 2012, the 6-foot-2, 290-pound behemoth has been train-ing, competing and win-ning several Strongman competitions throughout North America.
This Friday, however, is different.
This Friday, Wallace isn’t looking to be a champion, he’s looking to help a community in need.
This Friday, at Party in the Park, Wallace will be using his physical pow-ers to raise a playground for a Chilliwack daycare. It’s the next step, he says, in his journey to becom-ing one of B.C.’s most notorious Strongmen.
“It’s my way of taking it to another level,” he says.
To not just be about the competition, but the community as well.
Truck Pull For a Playground is a fund-raiser for A Nice Place to be Daycare, of which Wallace’s three-year-old son Cole attends, as did his older stepson.
The daycare, locat-ed on Vedder Road, has been operating in Chilliwack for 22 years. The playground is almost just as old.
The wood structure is tired and weathered, as is the fencing around the yard. The landscape is hard and rocky with sink holes.
“I’ve tried putting grass in, but it doesn’t stay,” says daycare pro-vider Tracey Tantrum. “When it rains, the kids treat it like a swimming pool.”
And because Tantrum has kept fees to a mini-mum, catering to all families, many who are low-income and rely on government subsidies to help with daycare costs, she doesn’t have the extra funds needed for a playground makeover.
Enter Wallace.Wallace had been
wanting to do some-thing for the commu-nity for almost as long as he’s been competing in Strongman. It was his wife Carrie that led him to the daycare’s needs.
They love the daycare, they love the relation-ships they’ve formed, they love the staff. But that playground, it’s seen better days.
“The playground is not where it should be,” says Wallace. “It’s old and beaten up and it’s definitely time for a new one.”
This Friday, dur-ing Party in the Park, Wallace will haul a 50,000 pound, Canex flatbed truck, strapped to his shoulders, 50 feet along Victoria Ave.
The event, sponsored by Supplement King, is
estimated to last 15 sec-onds.
“It’s an exciting thing to watch; a lot of people in Chilliwack haven’t seen it done before,” says Wallace.
“I make lots of noise. I scream, I holler, I grunt. I love doing it. I love that not everybody can do it.”
The fundraiser, which has already received several in-kind dona-tions with things like sig-
nage, fence repair and landscaping, is hoping to raise $4,000 for the play-ground structure.
“A lot of the time peo-ple get caught up with their every day lives and they forget what’s important,” says Wallace. “Ultimately, our kids are the most important,
whether they’re yours or others.
“Even if it’s just $5, if 500 people give that, look how much that adds up to.”
In addition to the truck pull, Wallace will also be performing log presses, atlas stone lifts and cir-cus dumbbell presses for
the charity.For more information,

QUESTION: How can I stop my child from sucking his thumb? ANSWER: Thumb or fi nger sucking is very common and in early years it is not a major cause for concern. If this habit continues or is severe, it can cause changes in the position of the teeth and the shape of the upper jaw bone (the palate).
Thumb sucking is a soothing activity that serves to help alleviate anxiety and is thought to stem from the rooting impulse of infants seeking comfort.
Many children who suck their thumb will stop on their own with no intervention (often by 2-4 years of age), though some do require assistance to break the habit.
It is generally best to avoid making a big deal of the behaviour as this tends to make children dig in their heals. In social situations, a secret hand signal or some other subtle reminder can help to remind the child without embarrassing him or her.
An important point to be made with any intervention is to try
to keep to positive reinforcement - scolding or other negative attention can actually worsen the problem as it makes the child more prone to self-soothing. A reward system such as a sticker chart can work very well to help the child change their behaviour and let them feel a sense of pride in having done so.There are products on the market such as nail varnishes which have a bad taste but these serve more as a reminder for the child to stop sucking their thumb - a determined child will still suck, regardless of these products.
A dentist can be of some assistance. Sometimes a conversation with the dentist stressing the importance of stopping the habit can enhance parental efforts. If the habit is causing problems and previous attempts at curbing it are not successful, an oral appliance can be fi tted for the child that makes thumb sucking very diffi cult. This is can serve a useful role in helping him or her to break the habit.
Your dentist can examine your child for any signs of changes in his (or her) mouth and answer any further questions that you may have.
Please note: This article is presented for informational purposes only and is not meant to be used as dental or medical advice. Any specifi c questions that you have may be answered by a dentist who has examined your mouth. For further information please visit the public website of the B.C. Dental Association at www.yourdentalhealth.ca.

Community■ TREASURE HUNT
Fifty hunters use metal detectors to find hidden coins and tokens at Heritage Park during the recent Fraser Valley Treasure Hunters’ Treasure Chest. The majority of the hidden metal items were Canadian coins, and the rest of the metal was international coins, specialty coins, jewelry, and numbered tokens which were later traded in for prizes.

Chilliwack dancers make to the WorldsJennifer FeinbergThe Progress
Six dancers from Chilliwack are getting ready to head to Europe with Team Canada.
They danced up a storm and busted a move in such a way that captivated judges.
Now all six have quali-fied to represent Canada at the International Dance Organization World Hip Hop Championships in Germany next month.
Team Canada includes these Chilliwack dancers:
Alana Cross (Senior); Delaney Hawkes (Senior); Lory Nixon (Senior); Elana D’archangelo (Junior); Emma Donnelly (Junior); and Camryn Jackson-Gola (Junior).
Lory Cross, 18, expects to be up against stiff competition when she gets on stage at the World Hip Hop Championships.
So what will be the strategy for Team Canada?
“We’re going to kill it!” she says. “We’re going to put every-thing out there.”
Maintaining trust in her teammates and trust in herself
is key.“The team I am working with
is so incredible. We really want it. It’s great to work with a dedi-cated group of dancers.”
They’ve been warned they could be targets since a solid reputation precedes them. Canada typically is ranked very highly at the Worlds for this genre of dance.
Cross has been training in studio for two years.
“I like everything about hip hop dance,” she says adding she’s done ballet, jazz and tap as well.
It’s her first time competing out of the country.
“I’m excited more than ner-vous. The whole idea of win-ning at the worlds would be absolutely incredible.”
Team Canada’s ace chore-ographer Paul Otterbein has been rehearsing the intricate and powerful choreography with the team, and streamlining their routines before departing for Bochum, Germany.
Fellow team member Delaney Hawkes says it means “everything” to have earned this opportunity.
“I was hoping I’d make the team,” she says. “The audition felt really strong to me.”
Hawkes started competitive-ly dancing at the age of 8.
“It’s my favourite thing to do,” she says.
It helps that she feels “totally inspired” by the sheer talent of her fellow dancers. It can even turn a bad day around just get-ting out and working on her dance routine.
“You don’t think about any-thing else when you’re danc-ing,” Hawkes says.

PUA
It's all about feeling better at Phu Thai Spa on Gore Avenue. Now Chilliwack patrons can experience spa services in a safe, relaxing and quiet
atmosphere. They'll feel energized and renewed.Owner Patti Kalayanee said she'd been looking everywhere in the Lower Mainland to open her second location, and has chosen downtown Chilliwack on Gore Avenue. "I love the mountains and the small-town feeling in Chilliwack. It's just like home. Everyone is so friendly."The name of her business, Phu Thai, is a nod to her roots. "It is the name of my tribe, it simply means 'Thai people'" she says. "This is where I was born and grew up, in a small town in northeastern Thailand."She's lived in B.C. for more than 20 years.
"I am now very well prepared and experienced in the spa business."
When her son started high school, she decided to follow her passion to become a spa therapist. "I graduated from a year-long Spa Therapy program from the Blanche MacDonald Centre in Vancouver."Her grandmother was a healer, and she wonders if it skipped a generation.Now Kalayanee is planning to obtain even more training soon to become a registered massage therapist (RMT) which would allow her to offer medical receipts. Nonetheless, there is a lot she can to do to provide her clientele with respite from a
stressed out world."My spa philosophy is to have clients feel much better after coming to see us," she said. "They'll walk out the door feeling like a whole new person. The mind is clear and the body feels light."Many of her clientele, about 90 per cent, are seeking the pain-relieving effects of massage. It can help release toxins, increase circulation, relax muscles and work out painful knots. At her spa, she uses a traditional Thai herbal compress called a "stem" in the Therapeutic Thai Stem Massage. She uses a range of stems with
more than 15 Thai healing herbs which may help to reduce muscular tension, increase blood circulation, stimulate lymphatic drainage and erase mind and body restlessness.
De-stressing, preventing illness and detoxing are the gentle benefi ts of massage therapy, and other relaxation services at Phu Spa like body wraps. There are also nail care, facial and body treatment services. See more at www.phuthaispa.com.

Hey Chilliwack art-ists! Which one of you is up to the task of creat-ing a unique and beauti-ful piece celebrating the arts?
The Chilliwack Community Ar ts Council putting out a call for artists to cre-ate a one-of-a-kind piece on canvas, to be used as a special fundraiser for children’s program-ming.
“The artwork will be featured on beauti-ful tote bags to be sold at community events throughout the year in this new annual tradi-tion,” said arts council ED Patti Lawn.
Artists are asked to mark their calendars since the deadline for entry is September 30.
The launch will be at the beloved Chilliwack Christmas Craft Market in November, with more than 8,000 attending. The original artwork will also be raffled off as part of the fundraiser.
The selected artist will receive full credit for their art, with their name printed on the tote bags along with their art work, as well as post-cards inside each bag that showcase their work and biogra-phy. The selected artist will also receive a com-plimentary member-ship with the Chilliwack Arts Council, have their piece featured in the 2015 Chilliwack Arts Directory, and the added bonus of know-ing that their art will be helping to provide art supplies, equipment and programs for inspir-ing young artists, said Lawn.
Only one piece will be selected each year, however; all applicants are invited to showcase their pieces in a very special “Celebrate the Arts” show, highlight-ing community arts, which will take place at The Art Room from Nov. 8, 2014 – January 13, 2015.
In order to qualify, the artwork is required to be original and one-of-a-kind, and the artist must be local. Also, the artist must understand that the selected piece will become the prop-erty of the Chilliwack Arts Council for the use of fundraising. The art-work should celebrate
the arts in our commu-nity, and should not be season or event specific, as the tote bags will be sold year round. The art-work should embrace the mission state-
ment of the Chilliwack Arts Council: “The Chilliwack Community Arts Council is an umbrella organization. It will provide leader-ship by the effective use
of resources to enrich our quality of life by encouraging the com-munity to participate in and appreciate arts and cultural activities.”
To enter simply
submit a photo of your piece, along with your full name, phone number, medium used, and the dimen-sions and title of your artwork. Email your
information to [email protected], or drop off at The Art Room - #20 5725 Vedder Rd., Chilliwack. Hours are Monday – Friday 9 a.m. – 5 p.m.,
and Saturdays 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. Deadline for entry is September 30, 2014. For more chilli-wackartscouncil.com/call-for-artists, or 604-769-ARTS (2787).

They practise hard on their own, and also have team practices together every two weeks. They’ll be starting weekend practices by September.
Bonnie Dyer national dance director for Team Canada said the dancers are required to find their own sponsors and raise funds to pay for the European trip, in the absence of a national or government sponsor coming forward.
“Dance is not recognized in Canada as a sport-ing event, even though many of these dancers train up to seven days a week, they are flexible as any gymnast; graceful as figure skater, and as dedicated as any Olympic athlete. Dancers of this calibre have trained for hours and hours and will represent our country with pride at the world level,” said Dyer.
The IDO is a World Dance and Dancesport Federation with a membership of over 90 nations, representing more than 250,000 dancers, from six continents.
“We hope that you will help support these dancers and the dancers appreciate any support you can give them,” said Dyer.
All of the Chilliwack member of Team Canada will be participating in a ‘Shake-a-Can’ fundraiser at the BC Liquor Store in downtown Chilliwack on Friday Sept 5 from 3 p.m. to 9 p.m.
“If people want to stop by with donations and talk to the dancers, that would be great,” said dance mom Debi Hawkes.
Team Canada leaves for Germany on Sept. 22.

The three Chilliwack Chartwell Retirement Residences; Hampton House, Lynnwood and Birchwood raised over $750 in school supplies and more than $100 in cash at their second annual “Stuff the Bus” event last week.
On Friday, Chartwell residences teamed up outside of Target at Cottonwood Mall with the goal of collecting as many school sup-plies as they could in a three-hour time span. Residents from each residence also have been donating sup-plies throughout this month.
Ever ything from pencils and glue to
geometry sets and backpacks were donat-
ed. Volunteers from the Chartwell residenc-es and Community Services were also sell-ing cotton candy and cold drinks for a dona-tion to the cause. All donations will be going to help Chilliwack Community Services’ Early years and Family Services programs.
Char twell has done “Stuff the Bus” fundraisers for The Salvation Army and Chilliwack Community Services in the past, but this is only the second time they have done one collecting school supplies.
“Thanks you very much to Chartwell
homes for initiating this amazing fund-raiser to help families through Chilliwack Community Services” said Karin Massar the Fund Development Officer for Chilliwack Community Services.
“These school sup-plies will help kids who may have had limited supplies without these donations. Many times families in our pro-grams have to choose between food and shel-ter over other essen-tials like school sup-plies. Special thanks to Target and the com-munity as well, we are overwhelmed with this support,” she said.

yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy p
They’re best friends, husband and wife and business partners. They’re Wylie Jones and Martin Maxwell of Wylie and the Other Guy; an energetic and versatile duo with a vast repertoire that satisfies a wide-range of musical tastes.
The first half of the duo is Wylie, an ener-getic lady with a cer-tain artistic flair. “The organist at our church choir told my mother that I had musical tal-ent. Then, I discovered theatre in Grade 11 and fell in love with it. I felt at home on-stage. I went on to become a member of the Players’ Guild and did Shakespeare at the college. I absolutely love Shakespeare,” she enthused.
The ‘other’ guy is Indianapolis, Indiana born Martin Maxwell. “I’ve always been musical. By the third grade, I was playing the cymbals. In fourth grade, I took up the violin and continued to
play all through high school. I began to play bass after I graduated and joined a band,” he explained. Martin went on to join the Rocky Vaselino Show, a six-piece 50s and 60s band that toured all over Canada and the United States. “The band came com-plete with its own lighting and sound crew and the band members all wore tuxes,” he added.
Wylie and Martin first met in 1989 while he and the band performed at a local nightclub. “I was writ-ing a play entitled Ring Around the Rosey at the time and went in to do some research. “It was love at first sight,” smiled Martin. “Not for me! He just looked so young,” she
laughed. Martin was living in Seattle at the time but would make a side trip to Chilliwack to visit Wylie every time he played in Canada. The couple soon began dating. “He heard me sing and then one day he asked if I would join him, if he put together a duo. I thought that it was a nice sentiment but that it would never get off the ground,” she recalled. Martin proved her wrong. The couple launched Wylie and the Other Guy in 1990 and were married the following year. “We travelled quite a bit when we first started but I found that I really didn’t like that,” she admitted. Today, they mainly perform throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. The duo is very versatile and can play everything from country to 50s and 60s music to pop and the jazz standards. They also have an innate ability not only to entertain but to also connect with children and seniors.
Several years ago, the duo received a phone call from the Coquitlam Legion looking for children’s entertainment. “I put on a clown cos-tume, Martin put on a shiny hat and jingle berries and Rosie Ribbonstar and Uncle Max appeared!” she enthused. They thought that it would be a one-time gig but after the event, they were asked to perform the following year. “We had so much fun that we just continued with the act,” she added.
Martin has a gift for writing music and writes his own material for the Rosie
Ribbonstar Show. “I get my ideas for the songs by watching and listening to kids,” he noted. One day, while we were loading up after a gig, we saw some kids jumping in a puddle. All kids love puddles so I wrote My Puddle Jumping Song. We also noticed how kids love to pretend to be animals and bugs so The Buggie Boogie and Hungry Dog Blues were written.
Writing songs isn’t an easy task. Sometimes, they come up with a great melody but the lyrics don’t fit. Other times, it’s hard to find just the right word or they both like a different word. Through it all, the couple has man-aged to continue to do what they love. “We can play venues of any size from your living room to Heritage Park and we always try to connect with the kids,” she chuckled. The duo also has a great con-nection with the older set and often plays for seniors. “We do have a varied repertoire filled with familiar songs that everyone loves to sing from war-time classics to sea-sonal favourites,” she added with a smile. Recently, they also launched Mojomax, a high energy drums and guitar driven trio that delivers an eclec-tic mix of rock genres. “We’re really happy with the new band and it’s another way of add-ing variety to what we offer.”
Away from the stage, the couple loves to go for long walks. “We love nature and with our hectic lifestyle, it’s a calm-ing thing,” concluded Wylie, with a smile.

Thanks Bruce
I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future. I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fi ght for good customer value.

from 9 to 5
Dolly Parton’s ‘9 to 5’ lyrics floated across the football field Monday morning as the GW Graham Grizzlies gathered for the first day of training camp.
Grade 8s on the right. The junior varsity squad in
the middle and the varsity team all alone on the big field to the left.
Surveying the scene with a smile, GWG head coach Laurie Smith mused about the season to come.
“We got beat 62-0 by (Nanaimo’s) John Barsby last year, and I think we’ll beat them when we go out to play them this year,” Smith prog-nosticated. “(Robert) Batemen will be strong. Mission will be strong. Will Abbotsford even have a team? It’ll be competi-tive, and one blogger had us ranked eighth in the province. I actually think we’re better than that.”
GWG’s varsity roster is short on numbers compared to last year.
Smith had 39 players at his disposal in 2013 compared to 26 this year.
“But only 12 of the 39 we had last year had ever played football,” Smith countered. “On this year’s team, everyone has played at least three years. And most of them have played together since atom.”
Still, 26 players leaves little wiggle room for injury/
absence, and requires many of Smith’s best players to play both ways.
Lack of depth could be the one issue that derails an other-wise promising season.
“We’re a little light at the varsity level, but we’ve got very good numbers at our Grade 8 and junior levels,” Smith said, focusing on the big-picture. “When all is said and done, I think we’ll have similar num-bers to what we had last year, which is 100 kids on all three teams. And I’m happy with that.”
Though small in stature, Terrell Sparvier may have the biggest role on the senior Grizzlies. Right now, Smith views him as the senior squad’s starting quarterback.
“Being five-foot-six comes with its complications, but put-ting in the work and having such a skilled group of linemen, receivers and running backs that I can count on, that gives me confidence,” Sparvier said.
When Sparvier lines up under center, he’ll have Ryan Connolly and Treyvon Walsh as his outside receivers, with Kirkland Kennedy and Emerson Smith in the slots.
Brett Westad is back, ready to stake his claim as one of BC high school football’s top tail-backs. Collectively, Smith calls them the strongest group of skill-players he’s ever coached.
Sparvier knows he’s got a plethora of offensive weapons.
“Brett (Westad) is shifty, quick and strong, and when-ever we need to dig ourselves out of hole, he’s the guy to go to,” Sparvier said. We have depth behind him too with Alex Bannerman and Tristan Davis. Then there’s all the receivers too. You can’t really go wrong with all the guys we have on offence.”
Indeed, the Grizzlies shocked American competition on a team trip to Oregon earlier this summer.
After being hammered in the same event the previous two years, GWG rose up to win a seven-on-seven passing tourna-ment at Camp Rilea.
Going into it, most of their opponents considered them afterthoughts.
“We were the only Canadian team and we were huge under-dogs, tabbed by everyone as mediocre,” Sparvier said, smil-
ing. “The American players didn’t think much of us, but we showed them that Graham was there to play.”
Winning a seven-on-seven tourney is great, but it’s a while different animal passing in the face of an aggressive pass rush.
And depth concerns loom especially large along the offen-sive line.
“We’ve got Brayden Winger and Diego Pineda, who are both Team BC guys,” Smith said. ”Elijah Schellenberg was a Team BC guy last year, and we’ve got Josh Mander, who’s really really good. It’s a very capable group, but if a couple of them go down it’ll be chal-lenging.”
“The linemen we have are dedicated and work their butts off,” Sparvier added. “What they lack in numbers they make up for in heart, effort and skill and I think we’ll be just fine.”
Most of GWG’s offensive stars are also its defensive stars.
Kennedy, for instance, leads the linebacking corps.
“Kirkland is our middle line-backer and he’s just dominant,” Smith said. “He’s a little men-tally unstable with anger issues, which is good for a linebacker. He does everything we need him to do.”
Sparvier’s QB status won’t exempt him from doing double duty. He’ll line up at free safety.
Smith and Walsh at corner-back.
Pineda anchoring the defen-sive line.
“Playing both ways makes you fitter and seeing both sides of the game helps you under-stand things better,” Sparvier said. “A lot of the top-ranked AAA teams don’t have a whole lot of players. I don’t mind play-ing both ways and I know if I ever have to step out for a breather, there’s a whole bunch of reliable guys that’ll fill my spot.”

The University of the Fraser Valley men’s basketball team hit the court Sunday for exhibi-
tion action against the University of Detroit Mercy Titans.
The visiting NCAA squad took an 81-70 decision at Abbotsford’s Envision Athletic Centre, the third stop on their four-game tour of BC.
Two years removed from a March Madness appearance and still well-stocked with talent, the Titans had already posted wins over Quest
University (119-74) and the University of British Columbia (86-78) head-ing into the Cascade clash. Against UFV, Patrick Onwenu led the visitors with 19 points. Jarod Williams added 14.
Third year for-ward Nate Brown led the Cascades with 23 points, including the first seven that UFV scored. He also pulled down nine rebounds.
Veteran centre Jasper Moedt had a double-double with 11 points and 11 rebounds. Manny Dulay scored 14 points, going four-of-seven from three-point land, and Dominique Brooks added nine points.
“That was a good first game, and I’m really looking forward to the season,” said Cascades coach Adam Friesen. “I saw a lot of good things.
Our guys competed hard and played tough and those will be our building blocks mov-ing forward. We are far deeper than we were last year, and we have significant weapons at all positions.”
The Cascades have significant time off before their next game, Oct. 3 at home versus the Kwantlen Eagles.

Chilliwack’s junior football Valley Huskers fell to 0-4 Saturday, los-ing their first road game of the year in Kamloops.
The host Broncos demolished the Huskers 45-15 in BC Football Conference action at Hillside Stadium, taking advan-tage of seven Chilliwack turnovers.
Husker quarterbacks Dylan La Prairie and R.J. Begg combined to throw four interceptions (three by La Prairie).
One of those was returned 20 yards for a major by Bronco Mike Ochoa.
The Huskers fum-bled the ball away twice and also had a turnover on downs.
Working with short fields, the Broncos still rolled up 550 yards of net offence. Kamloops quarterback Steve Schuweiler passed for 328 yards and four touchdowns. Devin Csincsa caught two of them, with Jesse Neufeld and Derek Yachison also finding the endzone.
Running back Jacob Palmarin picked up 113 yards on 10 carries and Connor Whitelaw had a rushing major.
Kamloops kicker Aaron Smit booted a 14 yard field goal and added six converts.
Turnovers aside, the Husker offence did OK, generating 412 net yards.
Running back Benedict Muhima had
his best game of 2014, topping the century mark with 121 yards on 15 carries. Felix Kaanon led the receiving crew with 95 yards on five catches.
R.J. Begg had the only offensive major. Kicker Dan Erickson booted field goals of 20 and 25 yards.
Cody Parray had the other Chilliwack touch-down on a 10 yard inter-ception return. Hayden Jeffery also had an interception, and Owen Roche came up with a fumble recovery. Jason Ghag led the Husker D with six solo tackles.
Chilliwack stays on the road this week-end, visiting Victoria’s Westshore Rebels for a Saturday afternoon (1 p.m.) tilt at Westhills Stadium.
Get info online at bcjuniorfootball.ca or valleyhuskers.org
● Langley Rams quar-terback Dylan Tucker had as good a game as you can have Saturday, leading his team to a 75-16 thrashing of the Westshore Rebels.
Tucker was extreme-ly efficient, throwing just 10 passes.
He completed them all for an astound-ing 352 yards and five touchdowns.
Those are Madden football numbers, working out to a 158.3 quarterback rating, or the highest a QB can achieve.
Malcolm Williams caught five Tucker passes for 152 yards and three touchdowns. Daniel English caught three passes for 132 yards and two touch-downs.
Oh, and Tucker scored a major him-self on a one-yard QB sneak.
Still winless after Kamloops clobbering

Wale, ZonaZona Wale died in her sleep on Friday, August 15, 2014 in Chilliwack, B.C. at age 83.Born in 1930 in Belgrade, Yu-goslavia, Zona survived Ger-man occupation and tubercu-losis at 16. She graduated from Belgrade University with a degree in literature and lin-guistics, and escaped Serbia for England in 1957 by bribing Communist offi cials. David Wale married her soon after she arrived in London, Eng-land, following a search for the beautiful translator he had met the previous year while on a medical practicum at a Bel-grade hospital.Together they had three chil-dren and travelled extensively in Europe where Major David Wale served as a physician with the British Army. In 1969 the Wale family moved to Canada and settled in Regina, Saskatchewan. During the 1980s, Zona began painting and studied under teachers in Belgrade and Regina; she learned Spanish, her fi fth lan-guage, to study art in Spain and Mexico.Painting, and her passion for art, gave her life new purpose when David died in 1991; her son James died shortly after her move to Chilliwack in 1996. A founding member of the Chilliwack Arts Society, Zona’s last solo art show in May was very well received by the Chilliwack arts community.
