Th e Cache Creek landfi ll has begun generating electricity from the meth-ane emitted by the millions of tonnes of Metro Vancouver garbage dumped there over the past 26 years. Th ree reciprocating engines installed by operator Wastech Services now turn captured landfi ll gas into 4.8 mega-watts of electricity, enough to power 2,500 homes.

Th e province had made benefi cial use of landfi ll gas a future condition

of the landfi ll's new operating permit and it was also under a province-wide re-quirement to capture at least 75 per cent of the gas emitted by 2016. Cache Creek's system hit that target years ahead of sched-ule and is now cap-turing 85 per cent of the landfi ll gas that would otherwise escape into the atmosphere and contribute to climate

change, said Janet Tecklenborg, environ-mental services direc-tor for Wastech, which is an arm of Belkorp Environmental.

Th e landfi ll start-ed capturing gas in 1996 but it had been fl ared off prior to the completion of the

$12-million power generation proj-ect. Th e electricity produced is sold to BC Hydro. Methane from garbage

is an intense greenhouse gas and last year the landfi ll captured and fl ared 22.5 tonnes per day of carbon dioxide equivalent. Th e Vancouver Landfi ll in Delta also captures large amounts of methane, some of which is used to heat nearby greenhouses. Th e ex-haust from burning methane there is currently released but Village Farms is studying the potential to process and pump the resulting carbon diox-ide back into its greenhouses to boost crop yields and reduce emissions that contribute to smog.

Are you a mosquito-attractor? You

are if you have type O blood or if

you’re a beer-drinker. If you t into

these categories, you will be more

attractive to mosquitos. Repellants

containing “DEET” are still the best

mosquito repellants. And by the

way, eating lots of garlic and taking

extra vitamin B supplements won’t

help.

Many people want to get rid of

excess belly fat. We know that kind

of fat is bad for our health. One

of the rst things to look at when

considering this problem is your

alcohol intake. Alcohol seems to

cause belly fat more than other foods because the liver is working hard to metabolize the alcohol and has less energy to burn off the fat which can result in weight gain.

We often hear about the high cost of medications here and around the world. Perhaps the world’s most expensive drug is eculizumab which would cost $500,000 per year to use. It is used to treat a very rare blood disorder called atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome. Sort of adds perspective to drug costs.

Here is a list of birth control methods and their relative rates of

effectiveness:

Implants, IUDs, vasectomy and

tubal ligation: 99%; the birth control

pill shot (every 3 months): 97%;

the “pill”, patch and vaginal ring:

92-95%; condoms, diaphragm,

cervical cap and birth control

sponge: 84-89%. In contrast, if

no birth control is practiced, the

ef cacy is 15%.

If you need more information about

the various birth control methods,

talk to our pharmacy staff.

We are knowledgeable and

approachable.

The 19 year-old recently graduated from the UFV Bachelor of Science program with honours, holding a more than perfect 4.10 GPA.

Etienne Dreyer mimics TeslaNews

Submitted

His personality isn’t the only thing that’s electric about Etienne Dreyer, who at age 19 recently fi nished his undergraduate education before many even start.

With a 4.10 GPA, Dreyer is the youngest-known person to graduate from the University of the Fraser Valley’s Bachelor of Science program. He fi rst caught the eye of future instructors when his homemade Tesla coil wowed judges at the 2011 Fraser Valley Re-gional Science Fair (FVRSF), hosted by UFV.

Made partially from old microwave parts, Dreyer’s coil produced hundreds of thousands of volts and streams of electrical discharges when plugged into a standard 120 V wall outlet. He quickly became the de facto keeper of UFV’s Tesla machine aft er starting university when only 16.

Still, the Abbotsford local insists he was never the smartest student in class.

“I’m glad I’m not a genius,” he says.“I think I’m a slower learner than my classmates

because I want to know it in my gut instead of my head. Th e better I understand something rather than just knowing the answer to it, the more I'm satisfi ed with what I’m studying.”

Dreyer’s hunger for knowledge was fed by his mother, a nurse who dutifully cruised thrift shops and hardware stores for electronics her son could dis-sect and examine.

“She wanted us to explore real things, not fantasy. Th ere’s a lot that’s entertaining about the real world around us.”

Being home schooled alongside fi ve siblings allowed Dreyer to focus on his interests, namely science and math. Having graduated from UFV, he’s already started lab work ahead of entering Simon Fra-ser University’s Master of Science program with an NSERC Canada Graduate Scholarship worth $17,500. At SFU he is studying data col-lected at CERN, the 27 km particle accelerator that helped scientists discover the Higgs boson particle.

It’s a path he proclaimed when barely old enough to drive. Aft er en-tering UFV through a special admissions process, Etienne promptly walked up to the instructor in his very fi rst class to share his plan of earning a PhD in physics. Now well on his way with a keen interest in high-energy physics, the young man with a Physics major and Math minor says he owes his start, in part, to UFV’s inclusive approach.

“At the undergrad level it’s more important to get fundamentals straight than to have access to state-of-the-art labs,” he said. “I love the fact that professors are willing to take the extra steps to help students — we’re a small and more community-based university and I couldn’t be where I am now without the physics faculty.”

Ultimately, Dreyer hopes to be a research professor working with grad students, while also teaching undergrads. It’s some-thing he got a head start on while sharing with UFV science stu-dents – giving a quantum mechanics lecture, and presenting on Tesla coils and other topics.

“I feel physics can be a black hole for a lot of people. But so much of the fear people have of physics is because no one is mak-ing it accessible, no one is bringing it down to the level that everyone can fi nd appreciable.” In addition to excel-ling in class, Dreyer represented UFV at the London In-

ternational Youth Science Forum last year, which attracted more than 400 young scientists from around the globe. He also spent two years as vice president of the UFV Physics Students Association and served as student representative on the UFV Faculty of Science Council. His transcript shows several placements on the Dean's List and won the Outstanding Achievement Award for mathematics twice. Desiring to promote science and math led him to judge at the FVRSF, work as a student monitor in the UFV Math Centre and to volunteer at various outreach events organized by the Math department including Math Mania, Math Challengers and Math Match. Likewise, he enjoyed representing physics at campus events like U-Join, UFV Giving Th anks, and the Annual Faculty of Science Open House.

His excellent work earned him UFV’s 2015 Dean’s Medal for Science. A well-rounded teen, his other interests include physi-cal activity like hiking, skiing, and cycling as well as right-brain activities like singing, classical guitar, and writing – all the while enjoying time with family and friends. He aspires to follow in the footsteps of other Christian physicists and mathematicians such as Sir Issac Newton, Leonhard Euler, Michael Faraday, James Clerk Maxwell, and Wernher von Braun.

While some might imagine the universe as a series of ran-dom conveniences, Dreyer sees intentional equations waiting to be unlocked. “We are studying the way God made our uni-verse, struggling to grasp His design. Th at's what makes science exciting.” he said. “My faith is what drives me to appreciate the beauty of what I study.”

Etienne Dreyer, aged 19, recently graduated from the Bachelor of Science program at the University of the Fraser Valley.

2013CCNABLUE

RIBBON

It is an embarrassing state of affairs when many small businesses re-port that North-South trade with the U.S. is easier than East-West trade within Canada.

But this is nothing new. It was such a big concern when the North Ameri-can Free Trade Agreement was coming into force more than two decades ago that the provinces put in place the Agreement on Internal Trade. Unfor-tunately, that agreement has been a colossal failure.

Fast forward to today and the prospects of a trade deal with Europe is shining a spotlight on our domestic dysfunction. Do we want it to be easier for Canadian businesses to trade with other countries than other provinc-es? Well, of course not. But the big question on everyone’s mind is whether Canada’s provincial and federal governments can deliver a better outcome than last time around.

Th ere are some reasons for optimism. On the premiers’ direction, Can-ada’s trade ministers met for the fi rst time in four years earlier this week to work toward a March 2016 deadline to have a new agreement in place. As part of a business coalition, Laura Jones presented to the group. Th e thing that struck her most was the non-partisan environment in the room. Politi-cians of all stripes seemed serious about working together for the good of the country. Th ey were all saying the right things. But saying the right things is the easy part. Doing the right thing is harder.

How important is it that we get it right this time? Very. An over-whelming majority — nine out of 10 — of Canada’s small businesses want the premiers to make free trade within Canada a priority, accord-ing to a recent survey done by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. In the 125 pages of survey comments there was example after example of domestic trade red tape.

In the words of one insurance broker: “Th e regulations are so varied by province that one almost needs to hire trade lawyers to get things done. Try-ing to do business in other provinces is severely hampered by this reality.” Many commented on diff erences in transportation rules (for example, dif-ferent licensing structures, wide-load signs that need to be changed at pro-vincial borders.) Others commented on how frustrating it was to deal with diff erent Workers’ Compensation Boards. A local art school owner summed it up well: “Canada should have its own free trade act. It’s sad that it seems easier to do business with the U.S. than Canada.”

Medical marijuana patients have a right to possess and use cannabis in the form of cookies and products other than dried bud, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled Th ursday.

Th e unanimous decision is a major victory for cannabis crusaders who argued they should not be forced only to smoke or vaporize the drug when edible or topical products are safer and provide benefi ts such as delayed delivery.

"Inhaling marihuana can present health risks and is less eff ective for some conditions than administration of canna-bis derivatives," the country's high court ruled.

It found the federal drug law exemption allowing medi-cal pot patients access only to dried marijuana violated their constitutional right to life, liberty and security of the person.

Approved patients who illegally baked cookies, brewed pot tea or turned it into oil had faced the threat of criminal prosecution, but not any longer.

"Th is denial is not trivial," the court ruled. "It subjects the person to the risk of cancer and bronchial infections associ-ated with smoking dry marihuana, and precludes the pos-

sibility of choosing a more eff ective treatment."The ruling upholds the decision by B.C. courts that dis-

missed drug trafficking charges against Owen Smith, a Victoria man caught baking pot cookies for a local com-passion club.

"It's a great decision from the point of view of all medi-cally approved patients," said Abbotsford lawyer John Conroy, one of the lawyers who defended Smith before the Supreme Court.

He said the government's dried-only restriction was un-reasonable.

"It forced people to choose between a legal but inadequate treatment and an illegal but more eff ective one."

Conroy is optimistic the Supreme Court's ruling will also guide another pending case in which medical marijuana pa-tients have argued before a Federal Court judge that they should be allowed to continue growing their own pot at home, instead of buying only from new commercial produc-ers authorized by Ottawa.

In that case as well, Conroy and co-counsel Kirk Tousaw argued similar constitutional rights are in play – that medi-cal marijuana users are deprived reasonable access if they can't aff ord to buy from commercial producers and that

they then risk jail if they grow it themselves or buy on the black market.

That trial took place this spring and the judge has re-served decision.

Conroy predicts Th ursday's ruling will also allow com-mercial producers to start off ering cannabis edibles and topicals, rather than just dried pot.

Th e Supreme Court did not give the federal government time to pass new regulations and instead issued an immedi-ate order that the old restriction was no longer in force.

It's not yet clear how Ottawa will respond, but it could regulate pot derivatives through a diff erent mechanism.

Federal Health Minister Rona Ambrose told reporters marijuana is not an approved medicine and criticized the ruling for contributing to the normalization of marijuana use.

"I'm outraged by the message that judges are sending that they think that they can approve a drug into a medicine without clear medical scientifi c evidence and without safety reviews," Ambrose said.

She cited 36 cases of people being hospitalized aft er be-coming ill from ingesting marijuana edibles at Vancouver's recent 4/20 pot celebration.

Seonaigh MacPhersonFederal NDP Candidate, Chilliwack-Hope

While presenting to a group of seniors at a National Association of Federal Retirees dinner last week, I was grilled about why all federal political parties in this election are focusing on the "middle class?" Who do we mean by the “middle class”? Why are we – the federal NDP - organizing a campaign around growing, serv-ing, and protecting the middle class? Why does our new TV ad feature Tom Mulcair in a cafe extolling the middle class and his place in it?

New Democrats focus on middle class Canadians for a reason. What they mean by the "middle class" are the 60% of Canadians who enjoy a standard of living between the bottom 20% and top 20% of household income brackets. Th is doesn’t mean that the other 40% of Canadians are excluded. Th e bottom 20% are tar-geted to be served by this emphasis on the middle class. How? Th e point is that all Canadians should be able to enjoy the quality of life aff orded by a middle class lifestyle. For this reason, we refer to growing the middle class. Th e top 20% need to contribute more, even if that means they drop into that 60% middle class bubble.

Inequality and the Working PoorTh erefore, the reason the NDP focus on "the middle

class" is to emphasize, in agreement with many leading economists from the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), that Canada's biggest economic problem is inequality, the widening gap between the rich and poor, and the increasing per-centage of those referred to as the working poor.

Working poverty in Canada is higher than in most other 34 OECD states, with a large number of house-holds living below the poverty line despite the fact that one or all adults in the home are gainfully employed. Th is form of poverty is on the rise but is NOT asso-ciated with unemployment, so it requires special poli-cies. In other words, people are working but they aren't earning enough money to push themselves up above the poverty or subsistence level.

Inequality has widened in Canada since the 1980s under Conservative and Liberal government policies. Here in British Columbia, we now have one of the worst income gaps in Canada with only 10% of the popula-tion controlling 54% of the wealth. In the 1980s, we had the smallest wealth gap in Canada, so we have suff ered disproportionately to other provinces. Th is provides the urgency that we are voicing in this election.

Other troubling trends identifi ed by a 2014 OECD report include an increase in unemployment or inse-cure and part-time jobs; a sharp increase in the number of Canadians who can't aff ord food – a rise of over 2% since 2007 to over 11%; and a steady drop in govern-ment investment in social services.

Why trickle-down economics don’t work?Th e trickle-down economics of successive Liberal

and Conservative governments in Canada over the last two decades have failed. Th ey have generated and rein-forced rising inequality in Canada.

Th eir ongoing policy proposals promise to per-petuate and deepen these troubling trends. OECD economists have joined the critique, suggesting that governments in Canada have stunted growth by focusing tax and other benefi ts on corporations and the top 20%.

Instead, these econo-mists state that growth is most signifi cant when policies focus instead on benefi ting the bottom 60% of income earners and households.

Th ese middle and lower income earners stimu-late the economy more directly than the rich by spending more on basic needs rather than luxury goods or investments, many of which are outside of Canada.

What policies do work?Th e principle is simple: Governments need to help

to increase the income of the bottom 20% of the popu-lation by raising the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) to above poverty levels and increasing the mini-mum wage to at least $15/hour. At the same time, they need to implement fairer taxation to reduce the drain of the economic benefi ts of growth to the top 20%. As the middle class grows by raising those below to above the poverty line, an NDP government would protect working families through initiatives like small busi-ness tax reductions and rebates and aff ordable housing and childcare to make it easier and more aff ordable for adults in a household to work. Th ese benefi ts need to include seniors, especially the GIS and aff ordable hous-ing initiatives, as outlined in the NDP’s National Strat-egy on Aging in Canada. As the OECD economists argue, these are not just expenditures but economic stimulants that will grow the Canadian economy and ensure that all citizens benefi t from growth. Th ese tar-get policies are the core of the New Democrat platform in this upcoming 2015 federal election. We are commit-ted to ensure that Canada remains a country of equality and social mobility. Th is is what we mean when we say that we will grow and support middle class Canadians.

Ride 2 Survive set for HopeCommunity

On Saturday, June 20th the Ride 2 Sur-vive (R2S) will begin their 11th annual tour from Kelowna to Delta, at 3:30 a.m. They will be making their way to Hope with a scheduled riding time between 3: 30 p.m. and 3:40 p.m. for 45 minutes before continuing onto Delta.

"Hope is a big part of the ride for us, Me-morial Park is where we have our dinner, hydrate, stretch, rest up and many of us change into fresh riding gear. What really marks this stop for most rid-ers is Memorial Park, where we are greeted by family who drive out to cheers us on. We've been on the road for 12 hours and having family join us in Hope is very uplifting, helping to re-energize us. We do our group picture every year in the park which appears on the header of our website, then continue on our journey."

R2S is a grass roots commu-nity of BC riders and volunteers and residents from across the B.C. region in which they ride. The group consists of 120 cy-clists and 60 plus volunteers on a formidable journey spanning 400 kilometers, travelling from Kelowna to Delta in just one day’s journey.

What makes this ride unique is that 100 % of the funds raised go directly to cancer research.

The logistics of food, travel, supplies, transportation, sup-port vehicles, police, ambu-lance, advertising, salaries and other administrative expenses are borne by the riders or are donated by local businesses.

When the cycling activists hand over the precious funds raised to the Cancer Society, the Society has consented to match

their frugality by waiving the customary administrative fee. To top it off, Ride 2 Survive are permitted to direct their dona-tions to specific areas of cancer research designated by each in-dividual rider.

This year, if a rider designates their donation to brain cancer research, it will be matched dol-lar-for-dollar by Brain Canada.

Their arduous journey tra-verses two mountain sum-mits, climbing over 12,000 feet (greater than the vertical climbs of the Tour de France) and in-volves pedaling over 75,000 rev-olutions. They will steel them-selves against the elements, ailments, and the greatest deter-rent, self-doubt.

The challenge is deliberately intimidating, designed to emu-late the struggles, pain, doubt and frustration that a cancer victim is often subjected to dur-ing their cancer battle. It under-scores the need for a support system of family and friends,

otherwise the battle (ride) is in-surmountable on their own.

Just like in the fight against cancer; alone, it is too hard. But together, with the support of one another and a team effort, it is possible to push through the fatigue, aching, and discomfort.

It is a powerful and challeng-ing test of discipline that brings each of the group members an unassailable sense of fulfill-ment accomplishment.

"To riders and volunteers alike, we are not elite cyclists. Every year we turnover about a third of our riders to be re-placed by new riders driven by the same goal — to eradicate the terrible disease, cancer.

What drives the group to en-dure months of physical chal-lenges, cramping, injuries and tears in training, is the knowl-edge that 100 per cent of do-nations go directly to cancer research through the Canadian Cancer Society.

Ride 2 Survive is set to cycle through Hope on Saturday, June 20th for their 11th annual tour for their campaign to end the battle with cancer.

Riders will be undertaking an arduous day long tour to help fundresearch in partnership with Canadian Cancer Society

Cycling for a cureCommunity

Each individual does this for deeply personal reasons, hav-ing lost parents, daughters, sons, friends, colleagues. Riders and volunteers alike, carry pictures taped to their bikes with names written on their jerseys, arms and legs. Cancer is an indiscriminate disease, taking the very young to the aged. Last year their little group raised nearly $700,000; to date, they have raised almost $3 million and that number is steadi-ly climbing.

It would be difficult to find any organization more efficient in handling charitable donations than the Ride2Survive (R2S), as they are the largest independently run event for the Canadian Can-cer Society.

In Canada:• An estimated 196,900 new

cases of cancer and 78,000 deaths from cancer will occur in Canada in 2015.

• More than half (about 51 per cent) of all new cases will be prostate, breast, lung and colorectal cancers.

• About 2 in 5 Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetimes and 1 in 4 will die of the disease.

• 63 per cent of Canadians diagnosed with cancer will survive at least five years after their diagnosis.

• At the beginning of 2009, there were about 810,045 Canadians living with a cancer that had been diagnosed in the previous 10 years.

In British Columbia: Overview of new cases and deaths

• An estimated 196,900 new cases of cancer and 78,000 deaths from can-cer will occur in Canada in 2015. Prostate, lung, breast, and colorectal cancer account for the top 4 newly diagnosed cancers.

• In 2015, an estimated 10,100 people will die of cancer in British Colum-bia, and 25,400 new cases will be diagnosed.

On behalf of the R2S Organizing Committee who'd like to invite the

community to support the R2S cyclists and volunteers on their ride through Hope, they are asking for your support to put this event on the British Colum-bia map and event calendar.

Organizers wowed by number of submissions coast-to-coast

Canadian artists respond to Canada’s newest national art prize in an unexpected fashion

Support of the arts inCanada from arts coun-cils and arts organiza-tions in the communityand across the nationhas certainly augmentedthe desire for Canadianartists to submit to oneof Canada’s few NationalArt Prizes.

Th e numbers are in,and organizers of theinaugural Salt SpringNational Art Prize (SS-NAP) couldn’t be happi-er. In total, 1,367 piecesof art have been submit-ted by 809 artists.

Th e submission pro-cess began on January15th and ended on May31st, 2015, with art-ists entering their workfor an opportunity towin awards totalling$25,000. Th e top prizeboasted $10,000 incash and a $5,000 art-ist residency on a gemof a Canadian island,also known Salt SpringIsland were par for thecourse.

Th e exceptional re-sponse had several keystaff members workingovertime into the weehours on deadline day.Close to 200 artists wait-ed till the last minute tocomplete their submis-sions. Founding directorRonald T. Crawford saysthe response has beentremendous, “With al-most every province andterritory represented,we doubled our submis-sion projections. Givensuch a high number ofsubmissions, it shows usmore deeply the impor-tance of supporting art-ists across the nation.”

Crawford, who worksfull time as a stonema-son, sculptor and paint-er, says the artists havedone themselves proud.

“It has been a won-derfully exhilaratingexperience to see thequality, diversity, andoriginality of the Cana-dian artists who havesubmitted. Now beginsthe diffi cult job of ourcapable jury.”

Artists’ submissionswill be anonymous tothe jury. In total, 50works will be selected bymid-July and the artistsinformed at that time. Itis important to the orga-nizers of SSNAP to helpfurther support fi nalistsin their careers.

Coastal access for Canadian oil means an increase

of at least $5 per barrel. By getting full value for

our oil, everyone will benefit. Workers will gain from

the $5.4 billion project. Oil producers will earn more

revenue for their product. And Government will

collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend

on programs such as health care, education and

other services that benefit all British Columbians.

Plus, we can invest in new training programs and

create new jobs for our youth.

“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.”

“Although the top prize is certainly prestigious, we have witnessed an artist’s career pro-pelled forward merely by placing as a fi nalist in the few National Art Prizes found in Canada. Th is is truly the arts supporting the arts across the board,” ex-pressed Crawford.

Th e fi nalists’ works will be catalogued, exhibited and of-fered for sale at historic Mahon Hall on Salt Spring Island, from

September 25th through to Oc-tober 26th.

Th e list of winners will be an-nounced at an awards gala on Saturday, October 24th.

Stringing of the transmission line (conductors) along the new transmission towers for the Interior to Lower Mainland Transmission Project continues.

Helicopters are required for this work. The contractor has obtained the necessary permits and permissions and is in compliance with Transport Canada requirements.

Conductor ends will need to be joined with the use of an implosive connector that is a metallic sleeve with a small charge in it for each conductor. Using safe and controlled methods, the sleeves are detonated which compresses (welds) the conductor ends together. This split-second process will create several flashes with smoke and very loud bangs.

Traffic control measures will be in place as needed. Work hours will conform to municipal bylaws.

The new 247 kilometre, 500 kilovolt transmission line between Merritt and Coquitlam will expand the capacity of the system that brings power to businesses and homes in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island.

For more information please visit bchydro.com/ilm or contact BC Hydro at [email protected] or at 604 623 4472, toll-free 1 866 647 3334.

Cat awareness month sparks cute controversyCommunity

June is Cat Aware-ness month and animal lovers around the prov-ince recently donned their cat ears in support of their (furry or not so furry) feline friends.

Animal lovers ev-erywhere were encour-aged to order their cat ears from the BC SPCA online store at shop.spca.bc.ca or to pick up a pair (by donation) from their local SPCA branch. Cat enthusiasts were also encouraged to wear the ears, take pictures, and to share them on social media the week of June 3rd.

The initiative was designed to raise awareness about the province’s cat overpop-ulation problem — an issue the BC SCPA is determined to over-come with persistence.

“There are still too many cats and not enough homes for all of them. If they’re abandoned or left out-side to roam, they will reproduce. But over three-quarters of all kittens born outside will die before their first birthday,” said BC SPCA general manager of community relations Lorie Chortyk. “It’s not a safe place for them out there with frost-bite, mites, traffic and predatory wildlife to contend with.”

Pet guardians must realize that they can ac-tually save lives by hav-ing their cat spayed or neutered.”

Wearing the BC SP-CA-issue cat ears was a fun and light-hearted way to draw attention to this issue.

Million Acts of Kind-ness is a year-long initiative devoted to promoting acts of kind-ness and compassion towards companion animals, farm animals, and wildlife.

A different act is fea-tured each week, some-thing everyone can do, regardless of age or their ability to own pets. The acts will be tallied and updated monthly and include acts of kindness for abused, injured, neglected and homeless animals, car-ried out by the loving hands of BC SPCA. Sign up now at millio-nacts.ca and share the link with your family and friends. If one kind act can change the life of an animal forever, imagine what a million acts will do.

Feline owners, lovers, and enthusiasts are banning together this year to contribute to the Million Acts of Kindness campaign.

Ever since preschool, Ionela Garrett has had a great love for playing the game soccer.

Now, as she moves into her adult life, Spe-cial Olympics soccer is looking like an activ-ity she can aspire to, for years to come.

“She’s a fantastic player,” said her coach, Wayne Williams, on Monday. “Ionela (pro-nounced ‘yo-Nella’) is one of our more talent-ed ones.”

You can tell she’s been playing a long while and she has a good knowl-edge of the game.

“She’s a very driven girl when it comes to soccer — and when she pops in a goal, that re-ally motivates her.”

The 19-year-old was adopted from Romania by her parents Don and Judy when she was only three years old.

Soon after, she went along to her brother Ross’s soccer games and there was no holding her back.

“Hope Minor Soc-cer let her start a year early, at age 4, because she was good at running around,” said Judy, smil-ing.

Once Ionela got to high school, she played for the Mustangs and made her mark when she scored Hope’s only goal against a very tal-ented Abbotsford Traditional squad.

Officially, Ionela graduated last year — but she went back for a bonus year in 2014-2015 and will soon be attending ses-sions at the Tillicum Workshop.

“I did English, math, life skills, foods, physical fitness and woodworking,” said Ionela of her extra year’s studies.

Her first introduction to Chilliwack’s Special Olympics program was during the school strike in 2012, when soccer wasn’t offered at Hope Secondary according to

mom.Ionela signed up for baseball but then

went back to school soccer for grade 11 and 12 before being aged-out and ineli-gible this year, so it was back to “Special O” for soccer this year.

“There’s no aging-out in Special Olym-pics,” added Judy.

On the Chilliwack team, there are play-ers from age 12 to 55.

“There are only four girls and the rest are guys,” said Ionela — though Coach

Williams said the girls have no problem with that. “The girls just jump right in and play with the guys,” he said.

Ionela prefers to kick with her right foot, “But I like to use my head, too,” she added.

And she works hard, too hard, some-times.

“They had a tournament in Abbotsford on June 6th to end the season,” said Judy. “She had a piano recital on the same day, so she had to miss the first two games.”

“And it was skunking hot!” added Ione-

la. “I played two games and I scored one goal but I couldn’t play in the last game, because I was overheated.”

Coach Williams, who has been leading the Chilliwack soccer pro-gram for the past four years, mentioned this is the World Special Olympics year, which occurs every four years and it’s being held in Los Angeles.

Next season, teams will be competing to decide regional cham-pions.

Then in 2017, those teams will move on to provincial champion-ships, followed by a national event in 2018, leading up to the 2019 World championships.

“Two years ago, the Chilliwack soccer team went to the provincials and we won the gold medal in our division — but there was another team that won gold in their division and we missed going to the nationals by one goal,” said Williams.

Soccer isn’t the only game offered by the Chilliwack Special O team.

“We have winter sports and summer sports,” said Williams. “In winter, we have bowling, ring hockey, basketball, power lift-ing and swimming — and in summer, we have rhythmic gymnastics,

soccer, baseball and bocce.“We’ve also started an Active Start pro-

gram for kids aged 2 to 12, to teach them the skills and prepare them for playing sports.”Thanks to sponsorships and dona-tions the program is able to keep registra-tion fees at $30 per sport, said Williams, who invited potential volunteers, coaches and athletes to check out the provincial website at specialolympics.bc.ca.

Williams can be reached by phone at 604-819-5408.

Ionela casts eyes toward Special Olympics

Hope Secondary School graduate and soccer phenomenon Ionela Garret successfully finishes the year with Hope Minor Soccer and is slated to begin new adventures with Chilliwack’s Special Olympics Soccer program, where the players range from 12 to 55 in age. The local talent who was born in Romania and adopted by parents Don and Judy is a fixture on the soccer field and likes using her head, on and off the field.

Nicholas (Nick) Charles Lang, aka Kasper the Kid, died

unexpectedly on June 9th, 2015 at the age of 15 while

attending a program in Campbell River, BC.

Nick is survived by his parents; Peter Lang and Linda

Tenpas; his brothers Kirk Lang and Christopher Palmer; his

cousins: Ryan and Sophia Hutton, Daniel, Eliot and Sam-

uel Lang, Krista and Katelyn McKay, Drew Tenpas, and

Penelope and Freddie Torok; his grandparents Hank and

Agnes Tenpas, Patricia Torok, Doug and Melody Lang; his

great grandmother, whom he adored and she adored him,

Marie Ridgway. He is predeceased by his cousin, Jaeden

Hutton; and his grandfather, Dan Torok. Nick is also sur-

vived by numerous aunts and uncles who were very close

to him and loved him very much. Finally, Nick is survived

by his cat, Carl, and his two dogs, Skip and Furby.

Nick was born in Nanaimo, BC on March 28th, 2000.

He attended Coquihalla Elementary, CE Barry and Silver

Creek in Hope, BC before moving to Chilliwack, BC, where

he attended Mt. Slesse Middle School and The Ed Centre.

Nick also played hockey for several years with Hope and

District Minor Hockey Association, fi rst as a defenseman,

then as a goalie.

Nick loved animals and was particularly fond of cats.

He was almost a cat whisperer. He could go into any

neighbourhood, sit down cross-legged

in the middle of the street and the

cats would come out and circle

him, seeking his attention. In recent

years, “Kasper the Kid” grew very

fond of hip-hop / rap genre of music

and was beginning to shine as an

artist / lyricist. He also developed a

knack for building and repairing

bikes, along with a desire to

learn more about his Métis

culture. Above and beyond

all else, Nick was extremely

funny, and very kind. He loved

his brothers, his family and

his friends. In the short period

he was on this earth, he made

a lasting positive impact on

numerous people around him

who now mourn his passing.

A Celebration of Life is

scheduled for 11:00 a.m. on

June 20th, 2015 at the First Ave

Christian Assembly on First Ave

in Chilliwack, BC. Donations in

lieu of fl owers are appreciated and

may be made in memory of Nick

to Cyrus Centre Youth Mission, or

Chilliwack Restorative Justice and

Youth Advocacy Association.
