Attendance at the ChilliwackFair was up 15 per centlast weekend despite theabsence of a midway again

this year.“Overall we had a really positive

response from everyone,” fair co-ordinator Brett McCarthy told theTimes.

New additions to the three-dayevent were a big hit.

The “moo-ternity” pen, which fea-tured cows in labour, witnessed thebirth of six calves over the weekend.

“Everyone loved it. Every timethere was one giving birth, we hadbig crowds,” McCarthy said

A new—and surprisingly hands-on—reptile display by the ReptileGuy (Abbotsford’s Mike Hopcraft)also drew crowds, as did Future WestPromotions’ first motocross at thefair.

“They had a couple race days andthey all really enjoyed it, and specta-tors liked it too,” McCarthy said.

The absence of big, flashy rideswas the only hitch.

Securing a midway provider hasbeen an ongoing struggle, McCar-thy said, because there are only twosuch companies in B.C., and com-panies coming from outside theprovince have to pay $2,000 to geteach of their rides certified.

“That adds $20,000 onto their bill,”McCarthy said.

With cities competing over onlytwo providers, Chilliwack usuallyloses out to the B.C. Northern Exhi-bition in Prince George when thetwo events fall on the same weekendas they did this year.

Tempers among local FirstNations fishers flared Fridaywhen they were told there

would be no sockeye opening ontheir stretch of the Fraser Riverover the weekend and only anabbreviated 12-hour opening forChinook.

“We’re pretty pissed off,” LowerFraser Fishers’ Alliance co-chairKen Malloway told the Times aftera heated conference call with fish-eries managers Friday.

“Normally this time of the year wefish three times a week, from Thurs-day to Sunday. But now we’re beingcut back and cut back. We haven’thad a regular fishery yet this year.”

The Department of Fisheries andOceans (DFO) has allowed no com-mercial or sport harvest of sockeyefrom the Fraser so far this season,and First Nations in the area havehad only limited openings for foodand ceremonial purposes: one for24 hours, another for 48 hours anda limited-participation dry-rackfishery in July.

Malloway and other local FirstNations fishers were angry at beingdenied a sockeye opening thisweekend because openings foraboriginal fishers above and belowtheir stretch of the river (abovethe Port Mann Bridge and belowSawmill Creek) haven’t been shutdown, and they say local sport fish-ers are going after sockeye illegallyclose to home.

The Fraser Health Authority isurging residents of the easternFraser Valley to get vaccinated

against measles after about 60 wom-en and newborns were exposed tothe highly contagious disease at theAbbotsford Regional Hospital andCancer Centre.

“The exposure of newborn chil-dren to this virus is a very concerningsituation,” Fraser Health chief medi-cal officer Paul Van Buynder statedin a press release Thursday. “Theyare too young to respond to the vac-cine and some will not have receivedprotection in utero from their moth-

ers . . . It is a time-ly reminder thatnot vaccinatingchildren can haveconsequences forother vulnerableinfants.”

Relatively lowimmunizat ionrates in some

parts of Abbotsford, Mission, Chilli-wack, Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springsand Hope have led to several “clus-ters” of the virus in those communi-ties in previous years, according toFraser Health, the most recent beingin April 2010 shortly after the Olym-pic Games.

The most effective protectionagainst the disease is two doses ofvaccine, health officials said.

The vaccination is free to all thoseborn after 1957,

People who suspect they havebeen exposed to measles or havedeveloped symptoms, shouldsee their medical practitioner butshould notify the medical practitio-ner’s office before arriving in order toprevent the spread of the disease toother patients.

The families exposed to measles atthe Abbotsford hospital, meanwhile,will be contacted by health officialsdirectly.

Kai Manning was serving up lemonade and cookies on Henley Street to raise money for B.C. Children’s Hospital last week.

He’s taking a lemonade standagainst cancer & raising fundsBY CORNELIA [email protected]

Kai Manning’s dad didn’t cometo his first day of school or hisfirst football practice, and he’snot going to be there next time

the family goes on a trip.If it wasn’t for cancer, none of that

would be true, so this week the localnine-year-old set up a lemonade standin front of his house to raise money fora cure.

”I just want them to find something,mix stuff up and find the cure for it,” hetold the Times.

It’s too late to change what happenedto his dad, who died of cancer four yearsago, but he doesn’t want other familiesto go through what his family did, hesaid, so all the money he earns will go toB.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

“Basically finding the cure would helpthe kids because then they wouldn’thave it any more and then they couldlive a nice happy life,” he said.

After modest sales on his first dayTuesday, donations spiked when a localRCMP officer posted Kai’s story on Face-book.

Const. Kevin Morris was in the neigh-bourhood in his squad car when Kai’sstand at the corner of Henley Avenue

and Harrison Street caught his eye.“It immediately took me back to when

I was a young boy, trying to save up afew bucks for something I wanted,”Morris said in his online post.

His heart broke, he said, when heheard Kai’s story.

The Mountie scrounged up all thechange he could find on the spot, andthen returned again later with dona-tions from co-workers as well.

“It’s so refreshing to know that thereis so much good out there, between myco-workers pitching in a few dollars andthis young man taking time out of hissummer on a bright sunny day, whenother kids were running through sprin-klers, to do what he thought was right,”Morris said.

With Morris’s Facebook post, Kai’sstand really took off, putting total dona-tions past $700 by Friday morning.

“I figured he’d get 20 bucks or some-thing and we’d drive it out to Vancouver,make a day of it,” Kai’s mom Amandasaid. “It’s a lot more than 20 bucks now.”

“It’s so refreshing to knowthat there is so much goodout there, between myco-workers pitching in afew dollars and this youngman taking time out of hissummer on a bright sunnyday, when other kids wererunning through sprinklers,to do what he thought wasright .”

Low returnsSALMON, from page 1

“They’re fishing for sockeyeabove us, they’re fishing forsockeye in front of us, they’refishing for sockeye amongstus,” Malloway said.

Fisheries managers andlocal First Nations had dis-cussed a possible opening forsockeye over the weekend onWednesday, but updates intechnical information forceda last-minute change, accord-ing to DFO acting area chief ofresource management BrigidPayne.

“Intheinterim,andthisoftenhappens with Fraser sockeyemanagement unfortunately,there was a fairly significantchange in the outlook for thestocks and the assessment ofhowmanyfishtherewereavail-able for harvest,” she said.

The main problems are lowreturns and a spike in watertemperature, which has beenshown to cause severe stressand early mortality for sockeye.

“We had to alter manage-ment plans to allow more fishto go through the system,”Payne said.

As for allowing First Nationsabove the Port Mann andbelow Sawmill Creek to con-tinue to fish for sockeye,Payne said those openingshave been ramped down..

Payne declined to speculateon future openings until afterthe Fraser River panel meetsagain today (Tuesday).

UMMERELLDOWN


BY TYLER [email protected]

Lee Anne Hanson’s goal is ambi-tious: zero people in Chilliwackat risk of homelessness and

no more than a handful of chroni-cally homeless people living on thestreets.

But as Chilliwack’s new HealthContact Centre looks to take inits first residents later this month,Hanson—who as addiction servicesmanager for the Pacific CommunityResources Society (PCRS) has spenteight years bringing the project tofruition—is confident the battleagainst homelessness will be won.

The contact centre, she told theTimes, “is the realization of thedreams of the community and arealization of gaps in services actual-ly fulfilled in one location. This cen-tre has the great opportunity to beable to fulfill those gaps in servicesfor that target population.”

To understand the scale of thatgoal—and the achievement if it’sachieved—one just needs to look atthe 2011 homeless count, when 111people were found living without ahome. Even that triple-digit figurelikely underestimated the size of thelocal homeless population.

Hanson said the shelter at Ruthand Naomi’s, which opened last year,has “taken the edge off” the scale

of the problem, as have other localservices. But getting to single digitsin terms of the chronically homelesswould still be a feat to be proud of.

Nevertheless, Hanson has con-fidence the centre can make a realdifference to Chilliwack’s most vul-nerable people.

“With this centre, we hope thatwithin a year, if we don’t have 100per cent success of the at-risk-of-homelessness, we should have con-tact with all those people becausewe offer them such a broad array ofservices,” she said. “Chilliwack wason the upward trajectory of gaining

homeless people. Now we’re actuallygoing to take a nosedive, hopefully,in the other direction.”

The centre includes 22 relativelyspacious individual rooms, eachwith its own kitchenette, bathroom,and desk. (The contact centre build-ing used to house a Days Inn.)

The centre will serve more thanresidents; it features an in-patientmedical clinic, counselling andaddictions programs and employ-ment services. Behind the building,a communal garden is planned.

Some of those programs arealready being offered and stakehold-ers hope to admit the first slate ofresidents by the end of August, Han-son said.

When the location of the centrewas first announced in 2011, it metsome opposition from local resi-dents. But as the centre ramps upto full operation and prepares for itsfirst residents, Hanson is confidentthe community will embrace it.

“I’m not worried about back-lash because I think we’re workingdiligently to have the communityinvolvement,” she said. “We’re col-laborative, we’re inclusive.”

As evidence, Hanson and sitesupervisor Sam Mohan pointed toan advisory committee that includesvarious stakeholders from aroundChilliwack.

“I see that already from just theresponses of people who have calledme,” said Hanson, who noted onelocal group had volunteered to handknit quilts for the centre’s residents.

“It’s not going to be a place wherenegative things happen, but wherepositive change becomes very wellknown.”

AFirst Nations tribe is looking todevelop a plan that could havea major impact on the future

of run-of-river power projects in theChilliwack RiverValley.

There are active claims to four dif-ferent creeks in the valley, but beforethey proceed, the proponents mustconsult with the Ts’elxwéyeqw Tribe,a society that includes seven differ-ent local bands.

With the f irst project—onTamihi Creek—in the works, theTs’elxwéyeqw (which used to beknown as the Ch-ihl-kway-uhk) isnow developing a comprehensiveplan that will look at the impact ofpower projects on the river valley asa whole rather than on a case-by-case basis.

“Pretty much every creek in theChilliwack RiverValley has some sortof claim to it,” Ts’elxwéyeqw chiefoperations officer Matt Wealick toldthe Times. “We are looking at how

they all work together”The four creeks with active claims

are Nesakwatch, Centre, Frosst, andTamihi creeks. Proponents of run-of-river projects usually focus on issuessurrounding their own projects. ButWealick notes that such projects donot exist within a vacuum. (Indi-vidually, power projects may have aminor impact on the valley. But mul-tiple projects can have larger, cumu-lative effects).

Although the creeks do not liewithin a reserve, legislation requires

any resource development on Crownland to include consultation andaccommodation of First Nations.

“We want to know how it’s goingimpact on cultural values, how it willimpact the recreation in the Chilli-wack River Valley, how it will impactour forestry businesses, how it willimpact any other particular use,”Wealick said. “Is the infrastructurethere to handle all of them?”

Earlier this year, local kayakersexpressed their concerns aboutpower development on the Tamihi.

Wealick said First Nations groupsshare many of the same con-cerns of recreation users; he saidthe tool being developed by theTs’elxwéyeqw would also look athow the power projects impact otherusers of the river.

The Ts’elxwéyeqw has received$30,000 from the provincial govern-ment towards completing the plan.

“I think it’s going to be a good toolto help assess these things,” he said.“For us, we just get tired of doing oneproject at a time.”

On the hillside above Chris Sartori’sfarmhouse is a strange sight.

Rows of leafy vines rise from the roll-ing ranchland, stretching 18 feet highto the top of a cable system that holdsthem in a V shape.

A soft breeze sets the vines swaying,as warm sunlight flickers on the grassbelow.

This morning, Sartori is checking hiscrop at the Sartori Cedar Ranch. Whilesome of the vines are still in flower, oth-ers already bear the small cones thatwill be harvested in early September.

He crushes the green fruit in hishands and inhales.

It doesn’t smell like beer.Sartori is one of a handful of B.C.

hop farmers producing the prizedcones that give beer its bitterness, aswell as aroma and flavour. With sev-eral thousand plants and a guaranteedbuyer in Molson Coors, Sartori is atthe forefront of what could be a resur-

gence of local hops.“Look at this,” says Sartori, sweep-

ing his arm to indicate his hop fields,set against a forested mountainside inColumbia Valley.

“If people could see this they wouldbe inspired.”

Sartori’s hops are nothing if notinspired.

The venture is influ-enced by more thana century of history:While an unfamiliarsight in today’s agri-cultural landscape, hops were once adominant crop in the Fraser Valley.

In the 1940s, B.C. was home to thelargest hop-growing area in the Brit-ish Commonwealth, according to RonDenman, director of the ChilliwackMuseum and Archives.

“The harvest was a ritual for thou-sands of people,” he said.

Families would come to Chilliwackat the end of August and pick throughSeptember, sleeping in the fields. Even-tually, lower costs in the U.S. drove

operations south, and the last hopfields were uprooted and sold in 1997.

Sartori, a German immigrant, plant-ed his first hops about six years ago,hoping there might be a market forlocal cones.

His timing proved inspired.While the hops were maturing, Steve

Stradiotto, the direc-tor of brewing at Mol-son Coors, was diggingthrough the Molsonfamily archives in Otta-wa searching for the

original Molson Export recipe with aplan to recreate the iconic brew.

In an old recipe book from 1908, hefound what he was looking for. Butinstead of listing hop varietals, therecipe named growing regions.

“I was surprised. The recipe calls for‘B.C. hops,’” Stradiotto said.

There were a few small ventures inB.C. at the time, but it wasn’t until hemet Sartori that he knew he’d found

Chris Sartori checks on the hops plants growing on his Chilliwack-area farm. Sartori grows a few different varieties and has foundlocal micro breweries like his hops.

all you need to know in 140 characters!@ChilliwackTimesNews

The weather is a lot like poli-tics—what you want mostis mostly what we don’t

have . . . right now.We just went through several

weeks of some of the hottest, dri-est weather on record.

In fact, depending on how youmeasure it (and precisely whereyou take your measurements),we may just have had the driestJuly ever in the Lower Mainland.Indeed, not a drop of rain wasrecorded throughout the entiremonth in any official recordingstation in Vancouver.

And Vancouver also brokeits previous record for hours ofsunshine in July—which I wouldexpect translates to a similarrecord for the rest of us in theoutlying hinterlands.

And let’s be clear about this:the record broken was for themost hours of sunshine in a singleJuly—410 hours of sun peekingfrom behind previously ubiqui-tous clouds, veritably smashingthe old 409.3-hour mark set in1985.

Imagine that! Sunny Vancou-ver! (David Duchovny, eat yourheart out!) You’d think such arecord would make people hap-py—ecstatic, even—especiallyconsidering that, like Mr. Ducho-vny (he’s the fellow who had theentire X-Files show transportedsouth to escape our supposedlydreary climes, remember?), com-

plaining about the incessant rain,rain, rain is one of our favouritepastimes.

In fact, I heard a lot of peoplewere complaining about the hot,hot, hot with no respite—way toohot.

Admittedly, I rarely heard asingle complaint about it havingbeen too dry (except from thoseunfortunates among us—myselfincluded—who depend ongroundwater and a dug well forour sustenance and to feed thegardening monkey we carry onour backs).

But the heat? Way too darnedhot! Until recently.

When I woke up one recentmorning, the first thing that Inoticed was that the fan blowingair into my bedroom window wasblowing cool air—almost wintery,by recent standards.

And when I looked out, Irejoiced! There was water fallingfrom the sky—only a little bit, atfirst, but it picked up momen-tum, and soon there was a veri-table deluge. The plants in mygarden heaved a collective sigh

of relief.The lawn began turning green

again, almost immediately.But when I made my way from

the nether reaches of my back-yard and into the clutches ofcivilized company, the story wassuddenly different.

Complaints of “way too darnedhot” had already reverted to:“Way too darned cold, waytoo darned wet—why don’t weever get a real summer aroundhere?” The very people whohad only days earlier vocifer-ously complained of hot, sticky,sweatstained T-shirts and havingno way to escape from the sun’sharsh ultra-violet rays assaultingus with threats of deadly can-cers were now bemoaning thefickle—dreary-again—climatethat routinely drenches our land-scapes and drowns our dreamsof natural tans . . . which we allavoid when the sun does make itsoccasional appearance.

There’s no pleasing us.We are aspecies of complainers. I said theweather is like politics? Actually, it’sour perception of the weather thatis like our perception of politics.

Whatever we have right now isn’tgood enough—we want it to besomething better, by tomorrow.

And if tomorrow comes withany kind of change, it’s never asgood as it was.◗ Bob Groeneveld is editor of theLangley Advance.

Let us allthank civilengineersI

t’s the silly season in news, so it’s nosurprise that everyone on the planetheard about the Great Fatberg of Lon-don about five minutes after it was

discovered.The fatberg, so named by Thames Water,

is the largest single lump of congealed lardever found in the London sewer system.

It was so big, it was preventing nearbyresidents from flushing their toilets.Things could have turned much worsethan a few backed up toilets, however.

“If we hadn’t discovered it in time, rawsewage could have started spurting out ofmanholes across the whole of Kingston,”said Gordon Hailwood, a waste contractssupervisor for Thames Water.

The sizeable pipe is now being repaired,and this will no doubt cause some incon-venience and grumbling. No one likesnavigating around ripped up roads, andit’s not exactly cheap to replace majorpieces of public infrastructure like this.

That said, we should take this as anopportunity to give thanks to those whokeep our sewer and water pipes blessedlyfar from our minds most of the time.

It is a miracle of modern life in the afflu-ent west that we flush toilets and turn ontaps, and expect everything to flow.

We flip light switches and expect light,we go into buildings and don’t worry thatthey might collapse and crush us.

Of course, there are exceptions, butwhen a bridge or shopping mall collapses,or when water is poisoned by bacteria, orwhen fatbergs form in the sewers, thesethings make the news because they areexceptions.

Building cities and making them run is apretty thankless task most of the time.

So let us now thank the labourers andcontractors and engineers who do thatwork.

We promise we will stop pouring greasedown the drain, and cutting holes in load-bearing walls, and ignoring the fire safetycodes. At least for now.

Editor:I wanted to share my expe-

rience as a supervisor fora health care agency in the90s. in provinding care for athome clients.

Supplying consistentworkers was a constant chal-lenge for a few basic reasons.Firstly, workers were assignedto blocks of time at a client’shouse. E.g. 8 to 10 a.m.then 2 to 4 p.m. at anotherhouse. They seldom weregiven full eight hour shiftsbecause of the nature of theservices needed. Occasion-ally they were assigned tolive-in assignments in whichthey would stay 24 hours aday—and sleep in the client’shome—an obstacle for care-givers with kids.

The wage home supportworkers received was close tominimum. The bus servicesto and from assignmentswere limited. Their wagesrarely covered the expense ofa car. Needless to say, manywere recruited, but manyfound it hard to make a livingwage with the limitations ofthe assignments. They movedon to group homes or facili-ties.

As the liason to the clients,I sincerely sympathized withtheir desire to have a consis-tent caregiver that they couldget to know and trust.

I occasionally provided caremyself when workers calledin sick to help minimize thedisruption of service.

I don’t know what theanswer is. Providing a shuttleservice would be logisitcallyimpossible as service is pro-vided by so many workersover such a wide area.

I think if workers had back-to-back assignments (asclose together as possible)to construct a full work day,

with homes in close proximityor worked a maximum of 12hours on live-ins it might help.

The bottom line would bethe workers’ ability to affordto own and maintain a car.This requires a higher wage.

The government saves alot of money keeping peoplein their homes. They needto support these clients byproviding a real solution toretaining consistent care-giv-ers—pay them more.

Where’s thecompassion?Editor:

Re: Aug. 6 Times story “Thestrain of relying on others.”

I am a family memberto a Home Support client.I have on many differentoccasions received phonecalls from Fraser Healthschedulers telling me thatthey have no one to go tomy sister’s house to care forher. Because I’m her emer-gency contact, they tell meit’s up to me to deal with thesituation. I have receivedthese calls when I’m at work

and even out of town onholidays. It’s not a very nicefeeling when you can’t bethere or get there. You knowwhat the consequences canbe, and it’s not good. Theymake you feel responsible,and it’s all from them notdoing their job.

Emergency numbersare there in an emergency,not for a back up for theirincompetence. I’ve receivedthese calls five minutesbefore they should be arriv-ing at her house. I was oncetold she would have to stayup in her wheel chair untilthe next morning at 7 a.m.

Home Support of allpeople should understandthe consequences of this. Itmakes me want to put theschedulers in a chair, tietheir hands and feet to thechair and say, “Good night!”at 5 p.m. and “We’ll see youat 7 a.m.”

Our 78-year-old motherhas had these same calls.You would think that asa mother of a disabledchild that she has sufferedenough, let alone being toldshe is now responsible togive the care she needs. I’mquite sure that a 78-year-oldcannot do a transfer from

bed to chair or vice versa.Home Support, give your

head a shake and showsome compassion for whatfamilies and clients gothrough. In my opinion,Home Support has gonedownhill severely over theyears. First they take awaycooking, cleaning and oddjobs, so now clients get lesstime and most can’t afford toget house cleaners in as well.

I know a few clients that,while support workers arethere, they could easily do abit of cleaning or odd jobs,like changing a light bulb.Home Support, can you tellme how a quadriplegic issupposed to change a lightbulb? No—I didn’t think so.

Personal care is calledpersonal care because it’spersonal. When you have 20different workers coming inand you don’t know who itwill be, it’s very stressful. I’msure every client has theirpreference to which ones do

a good job for their needsand which ones don’t. Theclient should have a say inthis as well.

I know, on occasion, whenI’ve been told they had noone to come, that there weregirls that could have andwould have. My suggestionto address some of theseproblems would be that thescheduling should be donedays in advance and thatthey do their job with somedignity and respect and theywill get the same in return.

Mind our ownbusiness

Editor:I strongly disagree with

your opinion in Our View(Chilliwack Times, Aug.8).The hypocrisy is glaring.

Our version of human

rights is not set in stone. TheRussian people, throughtheir leader, declare thatHollywood morality is tobe discourage, punished ifnecessary.

Hey, this is a mighty mod-ern nation. So their laws aredifferent.

In many states of theUSA same-sex marriage isillegal. Also in many coun-tries, especially the Muslimnations.

Could we mind our ownaffairs, like native treaties,child poverty, homelessness,etc.

For some people it is blackand white, not rainbow.

The Valley Huskers areno longer the worstteam in the BritishColumbia Football

Conference.Indeed, after hanging on in

the fourth quarter to beat theKamloops Broncos 33-30 Sat-urday, the Huskers now findthemselves in third place inthe British Columbia FootballConference.

The Huskers and Bron-cos had battled to a tie theprevious week. But whereasthe Huskers had continuallyfound themselves settling forthree points during the twoteams’ first meeting, on Satur-day, Valley made their chanc-es count.

Receiver Dylan Boykowichscored two touchdowns andregistered his second-consec-utive 100-yard game for theHuskers. Ty DeRayos scoredthe Huskers’ other touch-down and rushed for 50 yardson 14 carries. QuarterbackCody Parray completed 13 of26 passes for 167 yards.

Huskers coach Tyson St.James said his team’s workmade the difference.

“Our guys really workedhard for that,” he said. “Atthe end of the day, you teachthem what you can but itcomes down to them want-ing it.”

While the Broncos finishedwith more yards offensively,

the Huskers won the fieldposition game.

Kicker Dan Erickson, whohad been named the BCFC’sspecial teams player of thepreceding week, averagedmore than 50 yards on ninepunts, forcing the Broncos’erratic offence to march theball down field. By compari-son, the punts of the Bron-cos’ kicker averaged less than40 yards. The Huskers alsoblocked a punt, which led toa key Valley touchdown latein the third quarter. Erickson,who was named the player ofthe game, also kicked three

field goals, the longest from45 yards.

“Dan Erickson has beenplaying well,” St. James said.“His protection’s good. He’sbeen able to punt the ballwell, and field goals he’s beendoing great.”

Returner Josh Haydenracked up the return yards,finishing with 176 yards on 10kickoff and punt returns.

St. James was also pleasedwith his team’s ability to scorewhen they found themselvesclose to the end zone.

“Our goal was to be hun-gry in the red zone,” he said.

“We got the field position weneeded and we capitalized.”

The Huskers still had a littlebit of a scare late; Valley led30-16 late in the fourth quar-ter before the Broncos scoredtwo touchdowns in quicksuccession. Only an Erick-son field goal guaranteed theHuskers their first victory ofthe year and moved them intoa playoff spot.

Admittedly, the BCFC sea-son is only three games oldand the Huskers have playedtwo of those games againstthe Broncos, who aren’t allthat great. But three points

from three games is some-thing to be celebrated, espe-cially since the Huskers hadonly claimed two points fromtheir previous three seasonsentering 2013.

St. James said the early suc-cess of this year’s squad is atribute not only to the play-ers on the field, but also to thesupport from the sidelines,where a renewed group ofboosters has given the club abase on which to build.

“I really like the fact that wewere able to do this for them,and show them their hardwork is paying off in some

Who’s the better pilot? (they’ve both answered that question at one time oranother) come join them at the 2013 Chilliwack Airshow and ask them yourselves, whilethey sign autographs in the signing tent Sunday August 18th, 2013. Bud is returning tothe airshow for his 14th consecutive year, while Ross is returning for his 10th. Come onout and watch them.

Veteran airshow pilot and performer John Mrazek along with his Harvard Mark IV, “PussycatII,” will dazzle audiences, spectators, or anyone watching with a spectacular aerial ballet. Withlots of noise, smoke, and skill, John’s aerobatic performance will bring the entire airshow crowdto a standstill.John is a well known aerobatic airshow performer with over twenty five yearsexperience flying the airshow circuit. When John is not flying airshows, he is instructing in theart of aerobatics, formation flying, and float flying. John also acts as an ICAS approved AirshowCertificate Evaluator.

Chilliwack’s own Dave Mathieson and the Scheyden MX2, better known as “Super Dave” in theairshow community, was voted the #1 aerobatic pilot in Canada… by his mom. (It’s on the side ofhis airplane, so it has to be true!) Mathieson currently flies the world’s most advanced aerobaticaircraft called the MX2. The aircraft is designed for plus or minus 16Gs, and has an incredible rollrate of 500 degrees per second and is powered by a 380HP motor giving the aircraft a top speedof 300 MPH.

New to the Chilliwack Airshow this year but not new to the aviation circuit. In 2009, Pete McLeodof Red Lake, Ontario made history by becoming the youngest pilot and first Canadian to competein the elite Red Bull Air Race World Championship. Over two decades younger than the averagepilot in the world championship, Pete turned heads and quickly earned the respect of his rivals withhis impressively smooth and precise flying. His personality quickly made him a favorite with fans.Pete’s 2009 rookie campaign was a development year as the Canadian built his team for long-termsuccess. Entering the season with the heaviest and slowest plane in the field, Pete still managed toget the most out of his Edge 540 and gain valuable experience.

PETE MCLEOD RACING

A two ship combination with Eric Hansen in the F1 Rocket, and Ken Fowler in the Harmon Rocket II.Precision, speed, and high performance aerobatics at it’s best….a spectacular show that will bringthe crowd to their feet. Ken and Eric have been performing together in formation for 6 years. As ateam they are dynamic and fast. They are the only team of this aircraft type, in the Air Show industry.Flight Fest is fortunate to have Team Rocket Perform their Night Show on Saturday August 17th..Truly an awesome spectacle! Ken and Eric combine their high speed capabilities with an aerobaticroutine and outstanding fireworks display. All of this, set to music. ‘Stars in the Sky’ will dazzleonlookers and provide a night show to remember.

TEAM ROCKET AEROBATICS

One of the most important fighters ever built, the Supermarine Spitfire catches our memory forhelping win the Battle of Britain in 1940, but this elegant and agile plane played a host of rolesworldwide from 1936–1957. Its fragile, almost dainty appearance belied a superior performanceand hard-hitting firepower that made it a formidable opponent in aerial combat. The Spitfire was apilot’s dream to fly, a lethal fighter, and a delight to watch. It could take off and land on an airstripor a patch of cornfield. It flew in turn for dogfights, escort missions, aerial performances, front-linedefense, and combat training. This aircraft is now owned by the Historic Flight Foundation locatedat Payne Field in WA State.

SUPERMARINE SPITFIRE

The B-25 Mitchell fought in every theatre of the Second World War and operated in many roles, includingtactical bombing, tank busting and anti shipping strikes. B-25s served with the RCAF between 1944 and 1962- most of them after WW II. The aircraft that you will see at Flight Fest is named “Grumpy” and it’s flight pathbegan in 1943, training US Army Air Force pilots. In 1944, she was transferred to the Royal Air Force aspart of the Lend\Lease program and worked for the Royal Canadian Air Force. Though her work was quiet, shetrained crews to fly B-24 Liberators for the critical aerial offensive in Southeast Asia. Post-war, it’s probablethat she spent time in storage, but also joined auxiliary bombing units responsible for defending westernCanada. This aircraft is now owned by the Historic Flight Foundation located at Payne Field in WA State

Arainbow of wires streams across thetable as UFV kinesiology instructorDr. Michael Gaetz whispers, “Breathe .

. . perfect” and the bulky teen stares ahead,unblinking.

The test, taking place in a small room atthe University of the Fraser Valley’s Chilliwackcampus at Canada Education Park, is morethan an exercise in meditation — it’s part of anongoing study placing local athletes head andshoulders above the rest when dealing withthe increasingly troublesome world of concus-sions.

Led by Gaetz, and involving football playersat Chilliwack’s G.W. Graham middle/second-ary school, the study is built on baseline test-ing—measuring students’ physical and mentalcapacities before they suffer concussions, notjust after.

“It’s the only way to get a sense of where thestudent is starting from,”Gaetz says.

Memory, attention, reac-tion and processing time areall recorded using delicatesensors inserted throughcloth skull caps before andafter vigorous stationarybike sessions.

Balance is also tested, asare cognitive abilities using astandardized computer testwith ties to Harvard Univer-sity and used by NHL teamsduring “quiet room” consultations followingpotential on-ice concussions.

Armed with that information, G.W. Gra-ham Grizzlies staff can immediately deter-mine if a player suffers a concussion duringa game or practice by issuing a series of side-line tests and measuring the results againstthe player’s baseline information gathered atUFV—potentially eliminating the chance of asecondary (and often more severe) injury.

As time passes, tests also determine wherea player is in terms of recovery, and what levelof physical exercise is appropriate—if any.

“It allows us to say ‘you have a concussion,now let’s manage that concussion,’” explainsGaetz, who is currently assisted by five UFVstudent volunteers.

“We’re doing this as a service to the com-munity,” he says. “It doesn’t cost G.W. Grahamschool anything.”

It’s a program the Grizzlies have embracedwith open arms.

Entering only their second season, G.W.Graham’s football teams (Grade 8, junior var-sity, and varsity) are rushing past programs inexistence for decades.

“It immediately put us in the spotlight inthe province, and now all high school teamsare trying to find a way to follow us,” says G.W.Graham athletic director Jake Mouritzen.

In addition to eliminating the peer pressureof playing through an often invisible injury,Gaetz’s testing alleviates the strain on parentsand coaches alike when it comes to decidingwhen a student is ready to play again.

“We’ve taken all the guessing out of it, andwe’re relying on science,” Mouritzen says, add-ing that 90 of his 100 athletes were already test-ed by early July ahead of fall’s football season.

“We’ve been really blessed and very gratefulto UFV and Dr. Gaetz for involving us in thisprogram . . . it’s absolutely world class.”

Gaetz’s involvement began shortly after localfamily and emergency room doctor Josh Greg-gain started looking into how concussionsplague young athletes in the spring of 2012.

Greggain, who served asthe Grizzlies’ medical direc-tor alongside former minorfootball volunteer and cur-rent Grizzlies head coachLaurie Smith, needed a part-ner for concussion research.

Combing through UFV’swebsite for student assis-tance, he dug throughkinesiology’s page, and sub-sequently contacted pro-gram head Chris Bertram.

“He said, ‘not me, but I’vegot your guy,’” Dr. Greggain recalls.

And along came Gaetz, who made concus-sions the subject of his doctoral thesis whilestudying at Simon Fraser University.

With UFV’s new Chilliwack campus open-ing so close to G.W. Graham, the partnershipwas a no-brainer.

“This is what community partnerships areall about,” Greggain says, who called Gaetz’sresearch “absolutely phenomenal work.”

While his role with the team involves look-ing after the clinical side of concussions,Greggain says the relatively short period ofcollection means data are not yet conclusivewhen understanding whether or not concus-sions are more damaging to younger people.That said, he adds, “We think (youth con-cussion prevention and treatment) is moreimportant than with adults. Cognitive abilityneeds to be at its highest during high schooland college.

“We believe this is of paramount impor-tance . . . We want to protect (student–ath-letes’) brains and livelihood—more than theirchance to get back out there and play morefootball.”

Local kayakers say they are opposed to

a plan to install a run-of-river power

project on a Chilliwack River Valley

creek.Tamihi Creek, which enters the Chilli-

wack River just west of the Tamihi Rapids,

is popular with kayakers, who say an eight-

kilometre stretch provides a diverse range of

whitewaters that attracts users from around

the world.

But kayakers fear they won’t be able to use

the creek if a run-of-river power project pro-

posed for the creek goes ahead.

During BC Hydro’s 2006 call for tenders for

independent power

projects, KMC Energy,

a subsidiary of Win-

dRiver Power Corp.,

successfully bid for the

right to install a run-

of-river project on the

creek.

While the Tamihi remains undeveloped,

kayaker Adam Frey was spooked when he

recently visited and found pink flagging tape

lining the entire run.

When contacted by the Times, WindRiver

chief development officer Greg Trainor con-

firmed the project is “in the pre-consultation

planning stages.”

Trainor said that while the company is not

saying much publicly about the project at

this time, “there will be ample opportunity

to discuss the project during the public con-

sultation process at which time better infor-

mation will be available.”

If and when the project gets to that point,

WindRiver will face opposition to their

plans.Frey, who represents the Vancouver Kay-

ak Club (VKC) on the Outdoor Recreation

Council (ORC) of BC, said the creek is a local

treasure that provides an economic benefit

to the Chilliwack area.

Aformer firefighter dismissed

because of his age says a lack

of manpower often makes it

impossible for the Chilliwack Fire

Department (CFD) to adhere to

operational guidelines meant to

reduce health and safety risks.

Russell Shellard has asked the BC

Human Rights Tribunal to rule that

the City of Chilliwack’s mandatory

retirement age of 60 for firefighters is

discriminatory. On Friday, the tribu-

nal declined to throw out Shellard’s

complaint.

Shellard, formerly a paid-on-call

firefighter, was forced out of the

department at the start of 2012.

In his submission to the tribunal,

Shellard argued“it is not uncommon

with CFD fire ground scenes to be

lacking sufficient manpower in order

to follow operational guidelines set

out to reduce health and safety risks

for firefighters. . . . The older per-

sonnel, because of life experiences,

are vital and help reduce the risk of

health and safety on all emergency

scenes.”The city says the age requirement

is needed because the job’s physical

demands put older firefighters more

at risk of deadly on-the-job heart

attacks.According to the tribunal’s ruling,

Fire Chief Rick Ryall suggested “the

work for paid-on-call firefighters is

more dangerous than for full-time

career firefighters” because they

can be paged at any time and must

Cassidy Ediger’s bedroom in her Chilliwack

home is filled with flower-shaped lights, and

the walls are painted blue.

“Same colour as a Tiffany box,”

said her mom, Carolyn Ediger. “When we head

home, she starts to laugh and giggle. It’s like

heaven to her—it’s where she wants to be.”

The Ediger family’s 12-year-long fight for jus-

tice after their daughter Cassidy was left with

severe brain damage due to a botched delivery has final-

ly come to a close.

Cassidy, now 15, lives with spastic quadriplegia and

cerebral palsy. She and her family will be awarded $3.2

million in damages after the Supreme Court of Canada

unanimously restored a decision this month against

obstetrician and gynecologist William G. Johnston for

breaching the standard of care during her birth in 1998.

The initial 2009 trial decision found he had failed to

ensure a backup surgical staff was readily available to

help deliver the child by caesarean section when a for-

ceps procedure failed.

Johnston successfully appealed that decision in 2011,

before the family pushed to have the case heard in Can-

ada’s top court.

“We’re really overjoyed and just completely over-

whelmed,” said Ediger, who launched the court action

in 2008 on behalf of her daughter, and had even begun

discussing legal action when Cassidy was only

three.“It’s a huge burden lifted off our shoulders

and it’s just complete peace of mind, knowing

we’ll be able to provide for her (financially) for

the rest of her life.”

In January 1998, Johnston induced labour early

at 38 weeks after determining Ediger’s pregnancy was high

risk. After running into complications part way through

the delivery, he decided to switch to a caesarean proce-

dure instead, and left the room to make arrangements.

It has been a long fight for Cassidy Ediger’s family with her mother Carolyn Ediger seen here at their home in Chilli-

wack last week. Last Thursday the Supreme Court of Canada restored a $3.2-million award for a botched forceps

delivery that left Cassidy with permanent brain damage 15 years ago.

Aboriginal elders will rally at

the Sto:lo Nation grounds

Wednesday to protest a

“moral injustice” they say they

have suffered at the hands of the

Coqualeetza Cultural Education

Centre (CCEC) board of directors.

The Coqualeetza Elders Group

(CEG) has been a part of CCEC

for almost 40 years, but in Janu-

ary, members say the CCEC board

suddenly and without consulta-

tion announced it was dissolv-

ing the program and, further, that

any group that remained would

be forbidden to use the name

“Coqualeetza.”

Members of the group, which

meets weekly for luncheons and

engages in cultural activities in the

community, said they have tried

unsuccessfully to meet with the

board to resolve the issue and now

have no choice but to make their

grievance public.

“What they’re doing is totally dis-

respectful,” CEG president Virginia

Joe said of the board, “and in our

culture respect is one of the biggest

things that we talk about.”

The Jan. 30 letter announcing

the dissolution of the group pro-

vides no rationale for the board’s

decision, stating only that the

board had “reviewed [its] mandate

regarding program funding and

service delivery” and was dissolv-

ing the group “following the CCEC

mandate and policies, the voices of

Tamihi Creek has become

a “poster child” for British

Columbia waterways endan-

gered by independent power proj-

ects (IPP), according to a provincial

recreation group.

The popular kayaking creek—

which feeds into the Chilliwack River

just below the Tamihi Rapids—has

been named one of two “rivers to

watch” by the Outdoor Recreation

Council (ORC) of British Colum-

bia, which released its annual Most

Endangered Rivers List Monday.

The Fraser River was also on the

list, having been named the second-

most endangered river in the prov-

ince, behind the Peace.

Tamihi Creek is the location of a

proposed 15-megawatt power proj-

ect by KMC Energy, a subsidiary of

WindRiver Power Corp. Last month

the Times reported that local kay-

aker Adam Frey recently found pink

flagging tape along the entire run,

leading to worries that work on the

project would soon begin.

A WindRiver official told the Times

the project is in the “pre-consulta-

tion planning stages.”

ORC executive director Jeremy

McCall said the Tamihi is a stand-

in for hundreds of creeks and rivers

around the province that are threat-

ened by such projects.

“They’re called run-of-river proj-

ects [but] that is almost a total mis-

nomer,” McCall said. Instead, he

says the projects siphon off much

of the water and divert it through

pipes, thereby affecting fish down-

stream and the humans who use

the waterways for recreational pur-

poses.“To many, Tamihi Creek is becom-

ing a poster child of sorts, empha-

sizing the need for better regional

planning when it comes to IPP devel-

opment; something that has been

Ayear after reporting that Chill-iwack residents were threemore times likely than aver-age British Columbians to be

licensed medical marijuana growers,the Times has learned the number hastripled.

According to figures obtained throughan Access to Information request inJanuary 2012, 238 Chilliwackresidents were licensed topossess marijuana for medi-cal reasons and 193 werelicensed to produce marijua-na for medical purposes.

There were 4,608 licensedusers and 3,831 licensedgrowers in all of BritishColumbia 13 months ago. That trans-lated to about 85 growers and 102 usersper 100,000 people. But Chilliwack hadabout 280 growers and 344 users per100,000 residents.

Health Canada has told the Timesthere are now 666 persons in Chilliwackwho hold a licence to possess marijua-na for medical purposes.

That’s a 180 per cent increase in oneyear and mirrors provincial increases.As of Feb. 18, there were 13,362 peoplein B.C. authorized to possess, up 190per cent from a year ago, and account-

ing for nearly half of the 28,076 acrossCanada.

The number of those growing mari-juana increased even more.

As of last week, there were 513 indi-viduals in Chilliwack who hold personaluse production licences (PUPL) and 77who hold designated person produc-tion licences (DPPL). Assuming the 193number from a year ago included bothPUPLs and DPPLs (Health Canada wasunable to confirm this by press time)

that’s a three-fold, or 206per cent, increase in grow-ers in the city in one year.

Provincewide, the num-ber of growers rose from3,831 a year ago to 11,601(9,369 PUPLs and 2,232DPPLs) today. That com-pares to a total of 9,846

growers in the nine other provinces andthree territories combined.

In the past decade, Health Canadasays the medical marijuana programhas grown exponentially across thecountry, from under 500 authorizedpersons in 2002 to more than 28,000today.

Mayor Sharon Gaetz and several citycouncillors have made no secret of theirhealth and safety concerns regardingmedical marijuana licences.

right farmer. Several seasons later,“the hops are fantastic,” said Stra-diotto.

Sartori’s hops are also having abig impact on B.C.’s booming craftbeer industry. The world’s oldestbeverage has proven itself remark-ably adaptable, and brewmastershave tapped into the local foodmovement to create buzz.

“There’s more craft brewers inB.C. now than there has been at

any other time,” beer educator KenBeattie said.

The executive director of the B.C.craft brewers guild estimates thenumber of brewers and brew pubsin the province has more thandoubled in five years, from about35 in 2007 to more than 60 by theend of 2013.

According to Province beer blog-ger Jan Zeschky, beer made fromfresh Sartori hops has become oneof B.C.’s most anticipated small-batch beers.

Each fal l , Victor ia’s Dr if t-wood Brewery produces a lim-ited amount of “wet-hopped” beerusing fresh hops from Sartori’sfarm. Hops are usually dried andfrozen to ensure a yearlong sup-ply between harvests, but to makehis beer, Driftwood brewer JasonMeyer travels to Chilliwack to buythem fresh, then races back to Van-couver Island to brew his SartoriHarvest IPA.

Consumers line up outsidestores to buy the beer, which in the

words of the brewer, “tastes like theColumbia Valley.”

More than anything, Sartori’shops are themselves inspired—bythe earth, the water and the air.

Terroir—a familiar concept in

the wine world that is used todenote the place that gives wine itsdistinct flavour—can also apply tobeer, said Beattie.

The world’s best hops—in theU.S. and Europe—are all grownnear the 49th parallel.

Sartori’s farm, which sits a stone’sthrow from the U.S. border, maynot boast the flat, square fields thatcharacterize most of Chilliwack’sfarmland, but it has somethingthat may be better.

It inspires.
