Teachers strike at ‘impasse’Jeff NagelBlack Press

Pickets were brandished instead of pencils at public schools in Chilliwack and across the province Tuesday after an attempt at mediated talks to resolve the teachers strike collapsed over the weekend, ending hopes classes could start on schedule.

School district administrators warned parents of children requir-ing alternate child care to plan for a lengthy shutdown of schools and to not assume the labour dispute will be resolved in a matter of days.

Chilliwack school superintendent Evelyn Novak urged parents to keep their children at home.

“Although principals and vice-prin-cipals will be in their schools, they are unable to provide students with instruction or supervision,” she said. “Therefore, we request that families make alternate arrangements for their children as necessary.”

Daycares on school district sites will remain open.

Veteran mediator Vince Ready walked away from the exploratory negotiations on Saturday, saying the two sides were at “an impasse” and simply too far apart – particularly on wages and benefits – for mediation to be productive.

B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker said the two sides are just one per cent apart on wages.

The government offer is seven per cent over six years, while the union wants eight per cent over five.

But Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the BCTF demand is still nearly twice what other public sec-tor unions have settled for once benefit demands are included.

Jennifer FeinbergThe Progress

A protest about the teachers’ labour dispute organized by par-ents attracted a crowd of about 50 people on Tuesday morning out-side the offices of Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness.

“I will do anything to get their education back on track,” said Tammy Pope, a local mom who was one of the parents at the rally.

She has four children in the pub-lic school system, ranging from Grade 1 to Grade 11.

“My children are my passion,

and they need to be in school,” said Pope.

Her position is that the govern-ment needs to break the impasse and start talking with the teachers to find a resolution.

“There needs to be some wiggle room with this,” she said. “But ulti-mately I support my teachers.”

As a parent volunteer for 12 years, she has spent many hours in the classroom, and the school, helping out the librarian and with the reading program for example.

She’s growing worried about how her 15-year-old son will be impacted by the ongoing dispute.

“This will affect his scholarships, his bursaries and his learning,” Pope said.

“If he has a shortened semester, how is he going to learn? I can’t teach him physics.”

She’s been advocating and fight-ing for services for her kids for years.

Her son is now an A student, after struggling with mediocre grades.

“I have spent a lot of time in the classroom. As the mother of a Kindergartener, I saw how many ESL students and undiagnosed learning disabilities the teachers

had to deal with. A child who needs an Education Assistant is not sched-uled to get one.

“So I’m very frustrated,” Pope added. “Sitting at home isn’t going to make a difference.”

That’s why she attended the rally of parents at the MLA’s office.

“I don’t know if they’re even talk-ing. People should be outraged that the government wouldn’t negotiate with teachers all summer long.”

The sign being held up by one her children at the protest said it all, she figures. The sign read: “I am your future.”

NewsCyrus Centre set to open its doors next Monday

New facility for UFV opens at Five CornersJennifer FeinbergThe Progress

The new UFV Five Corners facility opened with all due fanfare on Friday in Chilliwack — made possible with the power of partnerships.

The new space was packed with officials cel-ebrating the incredible new facility, dubbed UFV Five Corners, with a ribbon-cut-ting and speeches.

“I don’t know what to say other than ‘Wow!’ said UFV President Mark Evered.

The Five Corners proj-ect literally “exemplifies” how various communities and partners united and collaborated to make it all happen, he said.

Bank of Montreal was the first to get the ball rolling after donating the old bank building at Five Corners to University of the Fraser Valley.

Then CEPCO then stepped forward and donat-ed the cost of renovating the former bank into an education and business centre.

The generous donations were worth more than $1.6 million.

“This excellent and much-needed new facility is a prime example of what can be achieved when cor-porate and community part-ners work together with our university,” Evered said.

He said he remembered the very first conversation with BMO officials about the generous donation of the space and what could

be done with it by UFV.“Let me say how deeply

indebted we are to Bank of Montreal for their vision, and to CEPCO for their vision,” said Evered.

The credit for getting CEPCO involved goes to his predecessor, John Jansen, said Brian Coombes, exec-utive director of Chilliwack Economic Partners Corp. They’re quite pleased to be a part of the newest educa-tion hub for UFV.

“We felt renovating this building was an important investment in our ongo-

ing partnership with the UFV, and also with City of Chilliwack, and their efforts to revitalize the downtown,” said Coombes.

It’s something that will provide almost immedi-ate and tangible returns, as well as future spinoffs, by bringing the local uni-versity right into downtown Chilliwack, he said.

The new facility features a lobby with a skylight, a classroom, a computer lab, meeting rooms, and offic-es in the two-storey, 7,000 square-foot space.

“We look forward to play-ing a vital role in the ongo-ing revitalization of the his-toric downtown Chilliwack area,” said Evered.

Liana Thompson, direc-tor of Continuing Education for UFV, offered a glimpse of what’s in store, announc-ing new courses in pub-lic relations and records management. It will also be available for community bookings and meetings, programming by other UFV departments, and cus-tomized training through Continuing Education at

UFV.The building — valued at

$850,000 — was donated to the university by the Bank of Montreal.

BMO official Mike Bonner said at the ribbon-cutting that it was more about celebrating the new campus for UFV at Five Corners, then it was about the bank’s role.

Nonetheless the building that used to house the bank for more than 100 years in Chilliwack before moving to Eagle Landing, was “the single largest donation” ever made by BMO in B.C. outside of Vancouver.

“It was a no-brainer, even for bankers,” Bonner said, getting a laugh from the crowd.

Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation (CEPCO) provided $850,000 to renovate the building and managed the renovation project. UFV provided $150,000 for fur-nishing, IT services, and other improvements.

The architectural firm for the project was Craven Huston Powers of Chilliwack, and they designed the new UFV facility at 46115 Yale Road at the corner of Young.

Craig Toews, UFV Executive Director of Campus Planning, is happy to see the project complet-ed and ready to welcome students.

“UFV is excited to have a presence in this new loca-tion and will be working with community partners to

Fifty-one weeks.That’s what it took for Cyrus

Centre Chilliwack to go from an idea, to the ribbon-cutting and grand opening set for Monday, Sept. 8.

“It was on September 17 of last year that we decided to come to Chilliwack with our offer, and 51 weeks later, here we are open-

ing our doors,” said Les Talvio, executive director of Cyrus Centre Chilliwack. “It shows what a com-munity can do when people want to work together.”

The four-bed Cyrus Centre facility on Wellington Avenue will have emergency beds for youth under 19 who have no where else to sleep. They will employ seven staff, and offer services such as mediation, meals, advocacy and referrals.

The referral process is open at Cyrus, meaning that young people can be referred by social service and youth workers, as well as by RCMP or the youth themselves.

The need to house homeless youth was underlined during the last homeless count in Chilliwack, he noted, which showed that 40 per cent of the people who said they were homeless were between the ages of 15 and 19.

“I believe that was the highest

percentage in the province,” said Talvio.

Chilliwack mayor and coun-cil have been amazing and sup-portive, he said, showing “stellar” leadership and offering encourage-ment. Local businesses and the downtown Chilliwack BIA have also been welcoming Cyrus offi-cials to the community.

“Now we need the support of the rest of the community,” he said.

People have been stepping up to donate to Cyrus Centre Chilliwack on a personal basis as well as from businesses. The Leap of Faith fun-draiser raised about $20,000 for the cause.

The open house and ribbon cut-ting is at Cyrus Centre Chilliwack on Sept. 8 between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m.

B.C. eyes looser liquor penalties for bars, storesJeff NagelBlack Press

The province is contemplat-ing changing how it punishes pubs, restaurants and liquor stores that violate liquor rules that ban over-serving and sell-ing to minors.

Business owners have asked government for a more flexible penalty system and a month-long online consulta-tion running to Sept. 30 asks stakeholders for input on the options.

One possibility to be explored is lower or higher penalties.

According to a government discussion paper released Friday, B.C. penalties are stiff-er than most other provinces.

“Decreasing penalties would bring British Columbia in clos-er alignment with the average among the provinces,” it says, noting government must bal-ance business hardship and the need for deterrence for public safety.

A first offence for a B.C. liquor establishment typically means a one- to three-day sus-pension for overcrowding and 10 days or a $7,500 fine for sell-ing to a minor (the first-offence maximum is $10,000 and 15 days for serving minors.)

Alberta bars have a choice of paying a fine or serving a suspension – which is one of the ideas up for consideration – and most operators there

The province has also taken a $1,200 signing bonus off the table, while the union still wants $5,000, which makes

up a big chunk of what the government says is a $300-million gulf between the positions,

The province has offered a $75-million Learning Improvement

Fund to help address special needs but the union wants much more for special needs and to settle grievances.

Another challenge to a negotiated settlement remains the govern-ment’s pending appeal of a B.C. Supreme Court ruling that it violated the union’s bargaining rights in 2002 when it stripped provisions on class size and support.

Iker claimed the BCTF has reduced its demands by $125 million, including a cut in the size of its proposed fund to settle grievances, while the government offered no meaningful moves in return and “squandered” the chance at a deal.

He said the province wants new contract lan-guage that will “nullify” the union’s legal victories on class size and com-position and circumvent any future appeal court ruling in teachers’ favour.

“B.C. teachers will not bargain away everything that the B.C. Supreme Court has already award-ed us and we will not jeopardize any future court decision,” Iker said.

“The government must back off that unrea-sonable request and

invest money in the sys-tem now.”

Fassbender again insisted the province won’t legislate the teach-ers back to work, saying it would keep the gov-ernment and union “on the same dysfunctional treadmill” they’ve been on for 30 years.

“Negotiating a settle-ment requires union leaders to stand in front of their members and explain what has been achieved at the bargain-ing table,” he said.

Parents have begun signing up for a govern-ment offer of $40 per child under age 13 for each day schools are closed.

The lumpsum pay-ments are to come after the strike ends and con-sume all the $12 million a day in strike savings the government would have amassed going forward.

The B.C. Federation of Labour on Tuesday announced “Solidarity” rallies in Surrey Tuesday, Kelowna Wednesday, Prince George Thursday and Vancouver on Friday.

President Jim Sinclair said the federation will also meet Thursday to discuss more potential ways to assist the teach-ers.

choose the fine, which is typically $500 to $1,500 on a public safety first offence.

The stiffest penalties are in Ontario, where suspensions of 21 days and longer are common.

Another issue is perceived unfairness of the current system for different business types.

Food-primary outlets can keep on serving food during a suspen-sion, while liquor-primary bars and retail stores must close entirely.

That raises the question of whether fines are a better option, the paper says.

It adds the penalties must spur

liquor violators to voluntary com-pliance and not be so low they’re merely treated as a cost of doing business.

Fines or suspensions get more onerous with repeat offences, potentially leading to licence can-cellations.

But a second offence is only counted as such if it happens with-in 12 months of the first one – after a year the slate is clean.

One option is to increase that period to two or three years, which would put more pressure on repeat offenders whose subsequent pen-alties would be more severe.

Another question asks if repeat

offences should be fines rather than suspensions.

The consultation is in response to recommendations flowing from the liquor policy review headed by BC Liberal MLA John Yap.

“We have been asking for review of the penalty schedule for a while,” said Jeff Guignard, executive director of the Alliance of Beverage Licensees, which rep-resents a broad spectrum of bars, stores and other liquor sellers.

He said a $7,000 fine for failing to check an ID could be a month of profit for a mom-and-pop rural liquor store in northern B.C., but negligible to a big Vancouver bar.

Thieves had broken in and made off with approxi-mately $15,000 in electronics, disappearing before the RCMP arrived.

“The police are currently investigating this occur-rence, and any information from the public regarding suspicious activity can be helpful,” said Cst. Ashley St. Germaine.

QUESTION: Why do my gums bleed when I brush my teeth? ANSWER: This is a very common question that dentists hear on a daily basis. Although this can be a painless phenomenon, it can also be uncomfortable, in some instances, and defi nitely worrisome. Luckily, for the majority of cases this can be easily corrected.The most common cause of bleeding gums is a condition called gingivitis. This refers to the infl ammation of the gums in response to local factors ie) plaque, tartar, cavities, old fi llings etc. Gingivitis can progress to a more advanced condition called periodontitis which involves not only the gums, but the bone anchoring the teeth in place. In both these situations, the gums are very fragile and do not need much force on them to make them bleed (brushing/fl ossing). The good news is gingivitis is reversible. Proper home care and regular dental visits should resolve this issue.Other factors that can make gums bleed easily:• Brushing too hard• Using a toothbrush with medium or hard bristles• Bleeding disorders• Medications• Hormones (especially sensitive during pregnancy)

Switch off the phoneBefore jumping all over ICBC for requesting a 5.2 per cent hike for

basic insurance, let’s look at their reasons for the request.Bodily injury claims hit $1.9 billion in 2013, up $73 million from 2012

and by more than $500 million from five years earlier. Medical costs are also up.

And what has happened in the past five years? Technology.The ever-growing use of cellphones and other personal electronic

devices by drivers is a major factor cited for the rise in injury claims.But why should those of us without cell phones pay more because

of the irresponsibility of some of those with them? Perhaps it’s time for ICBC to start awarding further reductions to those who do not have cell phones, or those who don’t use them in cars.

Of course, something like that would be near impossible to monitor. The real solution is for the automotive industry to jump in and rectify the situation.

Here’s how.Install a mechanism in the motor of the car that renders smart-

phones, laptops and other such instrumentation useless, while the engine is engaged.

Impossible? Hardly. After all, you can turn on the lights of your house from a hotel room now. A disengage switch for smartphones should be a breeze.

Don’t consider it Big Brother. Consider it improvement to vehicle safety for the good of all.

Remember, seatbelts used to be optional; as did motorcycle hel-mets. Plenty of people protested those laws as well. But we eventually got over it.

Heaven forbid that we should be forced to drive without the use of a phone, or a laptop, or a DVD player. That’s so 1990.

And what did car insurance cost in 1990?~ Black Press

RAESIDE

VICTORIA – There was an uproar in the B.C. legislature this spring when Transportation Minister Todd Stone went ahead with $19 million in cuts to low-usage coastal ferry routes.

The plan had been laid out in detail before last year’s election. It targeted sailings where rider-ship was in the low teens or even single digits. On some sailings the Transport Canada-mandated crew outnumbered the passen-gers.

Despite the cries of doom, most of the sailing reductions have been managed – with one glaring exception. The Discovery Coast Circle Tour route saw its ferry from Port Hardy to Bella Coola replaced, using the small-est vessel in the BC Ferries fleet, the open-decked Nimpkish.

This move wasn’t a direct response to low usage, a chronic

issue with some of the minor route sailings along the coast. It was to avoid ordering a replace-ment for the Queen of Chilliwack,

which sailed directly between Port Hardy and Bella Coola.

This summer the first leg was consolidated with the Nor thern E x p e d i t i o n , the vessel that replaced the doomed Queen of the North on the

Inside Passage run up to Prince Rupert. At Bella Bella, after a layover of a couple of hours, the Nimpkish took over with space for 16 standard vehicles on its deck and a midnight arrival time in Bella Coola.

The direct route had been

mainly used by European tour-ists, who sailed from the Lower Mainland to Victoria, drove the length of the Island, ferried to Bella Coola and drove through the rugged Chilcotin to Williams Lake and back down south to complete the circle tour.

The new route incorporated stops in remote outposts Ocean Falls and Shearwater, making it even longer. Warnings came early.

“That’s where 90 per cent of the [BC Ferries] money is being lost, on the milk runs, and that’s the part they are keeping,” Petrus Rykes, a tourism operator at Anahim Lake for 40 years, said in March. “The part they’ve can-celled was at 70 per cent capacity, the second highest of all the fleet routes.”

Reports of a bad slump have come to pass. The changes meant

bookings couldn’t be made until April, too late for most interna-tional travelers.

A survey by Bella Coola Valley Tourism in mid-summer found most operators losing business, from 10 to 90 per cent. A bus tour of Canadian seniors head-ing west from Williams Lake was terminated after 14 years. One tourism operator on Highway 20 is considering closing down.

Stone and his family took the new route themselves in early August, with the minister offer-ing sunny reports on his blog.

Stone summed up his experi-ence this way:

“At the end of the day, my assessment is that the Nimpkish is a good tourism product if tour-ists are made fully aware as to the type of service it provides. If correct expectations are set, I believe the Nimpkish can be mar-

keted as a valuable tourism com-ponent of the Discovery Coast Circle Tour.

“The decision to do this rests squarely on the shoulders of the tourism industry and tourism operators who need to decide whether or not they want this service to work, to grow and to be viable in order to capture a share of the thousands of international tourists looking for exactly the kind of adventure the Nimpkish provides.”

Got that, Discovery Coast tour-ism folks? If this milk run doesn’t work next year, it will be your fault. Heck, the Nimpkish has free snacks and drinks for your 10-hour voyage, much of it in the dark.

Questionof the week:

Last week: Have you supported a local fruit or vegetable stand yet this summer?

Yes: 78% No: 22%

This week: Is it time for a legislated settlement to the teacher labour dispute?

Register your opinion online at: www.theprogress.com

Teachers not ‘the bad guys’I’m hoping this letter is irrel-

evant because a settlement will have been reached by the time it gets printed (if it does get print-ed), but I must respond to the biases this paper has revealed in its latest reporting of the teacher labour dispute. First, the front page presented an article regarding education minister Mr. Fassbender’s proposal for a two week cooling off period so schools can start up as sched-uled (Ready enters talks as BCTF mulls strike truce). The article then goes on to imply that the teacher’s are irrational for not tak-ing class size and composition off the table so bargaining can prog-ress. This is offensive because it’s as if Mr. Fassbender had written the article himself, mak-ing teachers look like ‘the bad guys’. To make matters worse, the article continues to cite B.C School Trustees Association president, Teresa Rezansoff, who claims the BCTF’s demands are too far out of the ‘affordability zone’ to make bargaining effec-tive - again taking a page right out of Mr. Fassbender’s book of propaganda. The government has purposely and effectively con-fused the issues by calling the extra SEAs teachers’ are asking

for to address class composition issues a teacher ‘benefit’, mak-ing the teachers appear greedy. It’s unfortunate Ms Rezansoff has fallen for this Liberal spin of the facts. Besides, the ‘affordability zone’ is a false concept because the government has saved literal-ly hundreds of millions of dollars over the last twelve years since Christy Clark illegally stripped the teacher’s contract of its class size and composition language, not to mention the millions of dol-lars of taxpayers’ money wasted over the past decade on court costs and now the new govern-ment website trying to convince the public of the great B.C. educa-tion system and taking $40/day/child away from the education system to bribe parents shows that money is there if this gov-ernment would simply apply it to correct priorities such as public education.

It’s difficult to play a game when one’s opponent consistently breaks the rules. Wednesday’s meeting between Jim Iker and Peter Fassbender was once again nothing more than a publicity stunt by Mr. Fassbender, despite the fact that both parties had agreed before negotiations began to not address the media. Mr.

Fassbender had a press release prepared for the media prior to this meeting, whereas Mr. Iker has been attempting to maintain the agreed upon protocol. For this paper to print Mr. Fassbender’s and Ms Rezansoff’s statements without acknowledging the teach-ers’ perspective is biased journal-ism and gives the impression that the Liberal government controls this medium.

Finally, Mr. Fassbender’s pro-posal for a cooling off period is asinine because the government refused to negotiate all summer, meaning there has already been over two months of ‘cooling off’. Why didn’t the government make every effort to settle the contract then? How in the world could teachers possibly trust the gov-ernment to all of a sudden start negotiating if they go back to work when the government could simply say, “Oh the teachers are back in the schools, so there is no need to start bargaining again.”

This paper needs to start using common sense and report on all sides of the issues and stop push-ing one particular party’s agenda, in this case, the Liberal govern-ment’s agenda to privatize public education.

Glen Sallenbach

It is interesting that Mr. Fassbender suggests that the reason the government won’t legislate the teachers back to work is because the teachers might begin new litigation pro-ceedings, after being so-legis-lated. In fact, the 2002 case before the courts, won twice by the teachers and counting, was because the government did not honour a contract which had been negotiated-- one in which the teachers sacrificed a pay increase in order to have smaller classes.

Furthermore, the Justice Griffin stated that the govern-ment had an agenda which was clearly orchestrated to provoke a strike for political reasons. And you wonder why the teachers will not trust the government when they say “park the court case,” to be dealt with later.

John Dumas

To the stakeholders of B.C.’s public education system:

Back in February 2014, the B.C. government won a stay to the B.C. Supreme Court’s deci-sion to strike down the 2002 legislation that removed class size and composition from BC public school teachers’ con-tract, in addition to stating that the government attempted to provoke the strike in 2012; the court ruling also stated that the government must pay the BCTF $2 million. The stay in the court’s decision, at the behest of the government, was due to the government’s appealing the B.C. Supreme Court’s decision, rather than honouring the origi-nal ruling.

The Appeal Court is to make its decision in October 2014; however, the recent roadblock to mediation is the government’s attempt to avoid discussing class size and composition by having

the public school teachers’ bar-gaining unit drop these issues from the table, despite the ear-lier court ruling. According to the Minister of Education, the class size and composition issues should be decided by the Appeal Court this October.

If this is the true reason that the government is holding up the mediation process, then why doesn’t the government place pressure on the Appeal Court to move its decision up in order to resolve the dispute?

What would happen if all of the stakeholders – parents, stu-dents, teachers, CUPE school workers, school board trustees, superintendents, parental advi-sory councils, principals, vice principals, and MLAs – began working together to move this date forward? Perhaps the kids would be back in school earlier than October. One can hope.

Lisa Brokop says she’s excited about playing the Chilliwack Cultural Centre tonight.

Brokop brings her country charm to Chilliwack

Lisa Brokop is looking forward to playing the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Wednesday night.

She’s bringing her country ballads and stunning voice to share with the fortunate people of Chilliwack.

“I’m a proud Canadian, no doubt about that, and I always love com-ing back to the Fraser Valley. Of course I get to see my family and the crowd is always full of familiar faces. I never know what blast from the past is gonna appear when I’m close to home, and I can’t wait to play at the HUB International Theatre for the first time!”

Brokop’s journey has taken her from Surrey, to down south in Nashville, Tennessee, but on September 3, this beloved Canadian daughter of country music is bring-ing back her soothing voice and rus-tic charm to the Lower Mainland.

This trip will be an exciting oppor-tunity to catch one of Canada’s most enduring country singers on her home turf as she celebrates an incredible 20 years in the biz.

Brokop’s relationship with country has been one of enduring love. From performing on stage with her family at seven, to landing her first record deal at 19, and releasing hit albums ‘Every Little Girls Dream’, and self-titled ‘Lisa Brokop’, the singer has lived and breathed the country music genre.

Brokop has earned her reputa-tion as a fantastic performer, talented song-writer, and a charismatic per-sonality who loves to connect with her fans through the honesty of her music.

It’s part of what has led to such a long and rewarding career.

“Country fans are the most loyal fans in the world!” she says. “I’m cel-

ebrating 20 years of touring through-out Canada/US this year, and really much of that celebration is directed towards the fans. Year after year they keep coming back and supporting me, and I’m so grateful for that! If it weren’t for the fans I wouldn’t be celebrating this milestone!”

Of course this isn’t the first mile-stone Brokop has made over that amazing 20 year career. From the Canadian-Certified Gold Award for ‘Every Little Girl’s Dream’, to her Top 10 hit ‘Better off Broken’, and her regular recognition by the Canadian Country Music Awards, including two nods for Best Independent Song of the year and three consecutive trophies for Independent Artist of the Year, Brokop has made her mark on the country music scene time and time again. Not ready to sit back and admire her achievements just yet though, Brokop is marking her 20 year anniversary with her brand new eighth album, and the powerhouse debut single ‘Let it Burn’ that is set to sweep Canadian country airwaves this fall! The inspiration for her music has changed a little since she was a 19 year old, but those simple country-girl impulses still fills Brokop’s sound and creativity, as she reveals.

“I’m inspired by many things, but it seems the things that really fill me up these days are the simple ones. My little girl is turning five, and seeing the world through her eyes is pretty cool! Her imagination is so colourful, and very inspiring.”

So kick back, Chilliwack, and be charmed by the wonderful music of Lisa Brokop.

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.

The Chilliwack Cultural Centre and Chilliwack Visual Artists’ Association have project that pro-vides the opportunity for local artists who work on a large scale to display their art-work in the lobby of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.

The display will con-tinue to rotate twice a year in January and July. The deadline for both the January and July 2015 exhibits falls on November 14, 2014.

All media is accept-able but must be able to be displayed in a hang-ing mode either on a wall, in front of a win-dow or from the ceil-ing. A limited number of freestanding pieces will also be considered. All submissions will be juried and if accepted then the artist will be expected to sign a con-tract.

The subject can range from local interest to anything related to the Visual or Performing Arts.

There is no limit to the number of pieces submitted provided that each piece is no less than 4 ft x 6 ft

“Work in progress” will require a detailed description; progress sketches and an idea of the overall size and include the anticipated date for completion. It should be noted that there is no guarantee

that a work in progress, even if accepted at the concept stage will be displayed.

Entrants can com-plete an Artwork Submission Form (available from the CVAA website or can be picked up from the Cultural Centre Box Office on Corbould St.) and mail it along with a CD or good qual-ity photographs of your art-work and, if possible an Artists Statement to:

Lobby Display Project c/o Michael Cade, Chilliwack Cultural Centre, 9201 Corbould St.,Chilliwack, BC. V2P 4A6

Or just drop it off at the Cultural Centre Box Office at the same address.

Deadline for receiv-ing submissions is November 14th, 2014.

If accepted then the Artist will be notified before December 15th, 2014 and will be asked to complete a contract.

THE IMPORTANCE OF WEARING THE ROTARY PIN

Chilliwack

Sakuji Tanaka, Past President of Rotary International, recently authored the following message:“I am a Japanese businessman, and I wear a suit almost every day. The Rotary pin is always on my lapel. It is there because I am proud to be a Rotarian. Anywhere I go, people will see the pin and know who I am. Other Rotarians will see it and know that I am a friend, and people who are not Rotarians will see it as well. I want to be sure that all of them also understand the meaning of this pin.This is why I am asking all of you to wear your Rotary pin and to raise awareness of what the pin means. I believe having that pin on your lapel changes you. It makes you think more before you speak and before you act. It makes you remember, all the time, that you are a Rotarian – and that as Rotarians, we are here to help.

All of us should be ready to talk about Rotary. When someone asks you about that pin, you should be ready to answer them. What is Rotary? What does Rotary do? These are questions that each of us should always be prepared to answer.We cannot go to prospective members and ask them to join Rotary only because we want more members. We have to show them that

Rotary is a wonderful organization, and that they will be happier because they belong to a Rotary club. ”Local Rotarian J.H.”John” Blessin has recommended this message to our fellow Rotarians, and also for a shared understanding by our community supporters.John would also like our readers to know that: “If you think that Rotary sounds good to you…if you feel that you might like to engage with us in “Service Above Self“ projects, please consider that we’re always looking for like-minded, enthusiastic new members”.To learn more about what we do, please look through our website www.chilliwackrotaryclub.ca, or contact us at [email protected], or talk to any of our members (look for their Rotary lapel pin).

What does it take to build a trail? It seems so simple doesn’t it? Cut down a few bushes and push some soil around and there you have it, a lovely path

through the outdoors that is now able to help facilitate great experi-ences. This was my perception only a few years ago, and in this opinion I shared the view of many other peo-ple in Chilliwack when the status of our trail network was a constant

source of frustration for me.

Over the last few years I have learned a lot about the process of building trails from planning to building, to operating. The process is often very compli-cated and it begins with thorough consultation

with the proposed users of the trail, First Nations groups, those who might be impacted by it, and the govern-ment agencies whose lands it falls on. The questions almost imme-diately begin to rise around the topic of who will maintain the trail into the future? How do we ensure that the trails will see protection from impacts such as logging and develop-ment? And who will fund the construction and implementation of the plan?

In the past the building of trails was easier. Trails were built without permission from the government agencies that man-age our public lands and park lands. Trails were built to whatever standard the builder seemed capable of, and the maintenance was left to volunteers and casual trail users who were willing to move a branch or kick a rock out of the way if they happened to be pass-ing by. In this way our trails have remained in a certain state that is now viewed by most users as sub-standard.

How do we change this you might ask? Well the team at Mt. Waddington’s Outdoors asked this as well and the answer ultimately came down to the need for hours spent dealing with these issues, both during the planning

stages as well as the long-term manage-ment of the trails network. We saw a need for a third

party group, whose mandate is strictly trails, to manage our trial network and help to build Chilliwack’s backcountry into a world-class destination.

This was the gen-esis of the Chilliwack Trails Society, founded by Mt. Waddington’s Outdoors, however operating under its own mandate moving forward. A board of directors from a mul-titude of stake-holder groups will be tasked with giving the group direction moving for-ward, as well as help-ing in the funding of the work that the CTS does. Mt. Waddington’s is dedicated to kick starting the Chilliwack Trails Society and has just implemented a new initiative to donate one per cent of our annual profits to the newly founded group.

I have spent the last months trying to find other groups willing to support this concept and add to the funding that we have pledged, and the momentum has been gaining! The Chilliwack Forest District, Tourism Chilliwack, CEPCO, The Chilliwack Outdoors Club and the Give’r Take Around the Lake Society have all dedicated to helping fund the Society into the future. These groups will make up the board of directors for the society along with representatives from Chilliwack Search and Rescue, SD33 Outdoor Education Programs and Provincial Parks to ensure that the work being done is in line with what this commu-nity needs.

Keep your eyes posted as we the snow lifts in the Spring of 2015 and the Chilliwack Trails Society begins their work on our needy trails. Their

There’s no cause for people to worry about human health risks from the Mount Polley mine tailings spill despite some elevated levels of contaminants in the latest sediment tests, according to an Interior Health official.

“The results are quite reassuring,” medical health officer Dr. Trevor Corneil said after the release of new tests conducted Aug. 12 and 15, adding clean water without suspended sedi-ment that’s outside the impact zone continues to be safe to drink.

“The water contin-

ues to be safe, the fish continue to be safe, if normal food and water practices are under-taken.”

That includes not drinking cloudy water

or eating the sediment within the spill impact zone itself, where Corneil said “slightly elevated” arsenic levels have been found, along with copper, iron, man-

ganese, silver, selenium and vanadium.

Elevated levels of various elements are to be expected at an active mine, he said.

The Aug. 4 breach of

the tailings pond dam caused concern among First Nations and other fishery users that Fraser River salmon might be contaminated.

work will be cut out for them initially to brush out and maintain the already established trails in the Chilliwack area. However the mandate of the CTS will also be to plan, and build new trails, to fill in the needs gaps for the Chilliwack area.

I dream of overnight trails along ridgelines with camping tent pads to allow hikers to extend their stay in the Outdoors. As well we need more short begin-ner grade trails lead-ing to waterfalls, old growth forests and the like to make the back-country more acces-sible to everyone.

The Chilliwack Trails Society will also be coordinating groups of volunteers to help with the trail building efforts and we will keep you posted on how you can get involved. Our aim is to make the CTS a reg-istered charity to allow for the community to help us raise funds. For more information at this time you can con-tact Mt. Waddington’s Outdoors.

Sports ProgressThe Chilliwack

Eric

Welsh604.702.5572 • [email protected]

The BCHL Chilliwack Chiefs held their train-ing camp Tuesday and Wednesday at Prospera Centre, putting returning players and prospects through the paces.

The roster of the junior A team has gone through a major makeover, with new head coach/general manager Jason Tatarnic putting his stamp on the team.

His first priority was to fix a leaky defence that caused the Chiefs to miss the playoffs last spring.

And that starts between the pipes.

Eric J. Welsh,The Progress

Jason Tatarnic is a big believer in building from the net out.

One of his first offseason moves was the signing of goaltender Aidan Pelino, fol-lowed soon after by Mitchell Datz.

Both are 19 years old.Both, Tatarnic believes,

are capable of being solid (if not better) BCHL starters. But until the pucks start fly-ing, no one knows whether they’ll be closer to Mitch Gillam or Spencer Tremblay in performance.

“I don’t think experience is a huge thing for us, but I think potential is,” Tatarnic said. “We look at a goalten-der and try to see what he could be. Both of these guys have shown extreme poten-tial to be solid goaltenders. Will it happen this year? I

hope so.”Pelino, a native of

Oakville, ON, comes into the preseason as the nomi-nal ‘starter.’

His play last season at Northwood School in Lake Placid, NY, put him on the NCAA radar and he had several junior A teams in pursuit.

“He’s a bigger goalie at six foot two,” Tatarnic said, when Pelino was signed in late April. “He’s calm and positionally sound — not a guy who jumps around all over the place.”

That’s exactly what Tatarnic likes in a goalie, a composed player who makes the saves he should and some of the saves he shouldn’t.

Datz is the same type of stopper, and could certain-ly wrest playing time from Pelino if he lives up to his resume.

The native of Kitchener, ON, led his high school team (Salisbury Academy in Connecticut) to the New England Prep Championship last year, going 23-1-3 with a .927 save percentage.

“I want both those guys to compete every day in practices and games and push each other, and they’ll sort out the playing time themselves,” Tatarnic said. “Goalies like to get in a groove, but as coaches we’re aware that there’s rest and recovery and you can burn a goalie out pretty quick. We have quite a few three-games-in-three-days weekends, and that’s why you get two solid goalies.”

While he expects Pelino and Datz to compete and push, he also wants them to develop a friendship and work as partners.

“It’s very important for goaltenders to have a good relationship. Sometimes that doesn’t happen and it causes problems in the dressing room and on the ice,” the coach said. “Their position is very unique because there’s only two of them, and it’s very healthy for them to be good team-mates.”

Both netminders could face growing pains adapt-ing to the faster pace of the

BCHL. Every coach knows four

points lost in October can loom large in March.

No team in the 16 team BCHL surrendered more goals than Chilliwack in 2013-14 — 285 goals, or 4.91 per game.

“Oh believe me, I love collecting points early in the season, but it’s not a sprint,” Tatarnic said. “It is a long season and as long as you can see they’ll be able to get to the finish line, that’s the thing. If you can’t see a light at the end of the tunnel, that becomes a concern. But I think the two that we have have the potential to be very good goalies.”

See chilliwackchiefs.net.

Will potential translate to performance?

PRESEASON 2014

The University of the Fraser Valley men’s and women’s soccer teams are back home after an eight-day trip to California.

Both Cascade crews played sev-eral games in Los

Angeles and San Diego.

The women s c r i m m a g e d against the Master’s College Mustangs and Hope International University Royals — both members of the National Association of I n t e r c o l l e g i a t e Athletics (NAIA). They also scrim-maged against two NCAA division-two squads, the Cal State LA Golden

Eagles and the UC San Diego Tritons.

Because of American intercol-legiate rules, scores cannot be reported for these informal scrimmages.

UFV’s men’s side played three times, taking on NCAA division two teams from Biola University and Azusa Pacific University. They also battled LA Misioneros FC of the Premier

D e v e l o p m e n t League (PDL).

A fourth game was cancelled.

“The team spir-it is high and the players are get-ting along great,” said coach Alan Errington. “The team was great on the trip and have enjoyed their time in Los Angeles, but are itching to get started in league play.”

See ufvcascades.ca

Cascades clash with California crews

Still sporting his Northwood Prep School mark, Aidan Pelino is one half of Chilliwack’s 2014-15 goaltending tandem, along with Mitchell Datz. Their play will go a long way in determining how well the Chiefs rebound from a disastrous 2013-14 campaign. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

A spur-of-the-moment trip to Winnipeg led to national bronze for Chilliwack’s Kory McCann.

After winning gold at last month’s provincial wakeboard championships in Abbotsford, McCann decided to tackle nationals.

A whirlwind flight had him arriving in Manitoba just in time to compete in last Thursday’s qualifier round, held at the Adrenaline Adventures Cable Wake Park.

McCann made the finals in the nine-and-under division, where he

finished behind Ontario’s Wake (not a misprint) Purdy and Winnipeg’s Cameron Rohs.

He was back home by Saturday.“It was so fun to compete with

other kids and I made some awesome friends,” he gushed. “I am already training for next year when the com-petition will be in our park.”

McCann is working to perfect his 360’s and tantrums (back flips). Next year’s Canadian National Wakeboard Championships take place at Abbotsford’s Valley Wake Park.

Wakeboarder wins bronze Vancouver Island Raider Michael Ritchott had a game to remember Aug. 25.

In a BC Football Conference win over the Langley Rams, Ritchott became the first Canadian junior player to ever return two kickoffs for touchdowns in one game. He ran one back for 105 yards and another for 108, then added a 105 yard touchdown reception on offence, finishing with 394 yards from scrimmage.

Record breaking Raider returner

Chilliwack’s Rob Boyd will be behind the bench, and Rosedale’s Kirsten Martin on the ice for Team BC at the 2015 Canada Winter Games.

Hockey BC announced the U-18 Team BC roster last Thursday.

Boyd will serve as assistant coach, work-ing the bench with head

coach Sylvain Leone (Winfield).

Martin is one of 12 forwards making the team. The five-foot-nine 1988-born forward will play the coming season with the Fraser Valley Phantom in the BC Female Midget AAA Hockey League.

The 2015 Canada Winter Games take place Feb. 13 to Mar. 1 in Prince George.

The final Team BC roster was selected after a summer development camp that was held in July in Summerland.

Team BC will play

at the 2014 Mandi Schwartz Challenge. From Sept. 18-21 they’ll be in Regina, SK, fac-ing off against players who’ve been shortlist-ed for Saskatchewan and Manitoba’s U-18 squads.

BC Hockey’s Female High Performance Program was estab-lished to identify and train athletes and team personnel for possible participation at provin-cial, national and inter-national events.
