■ A-MAZING PERSPECTIVE

Pilot Cathy Press from Chinook Helicopters (right) gives passengers an aerial view of the Chilliwack Corn Maze on Wednesday morning. This year the maze partnered with UFV to help raise funds for student scholarships and bursaries. The design for this year’s maze features the UFV 40th anniversary logo. Saturday, Sept. 13 will be the fundraiser day where all funds from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. will go towards UFV student funding, with a suggested donation of $9. Kids three and under get in free. Gizmo the clown, Sasq’ets the UFV mascot, and Tapsnap photo booth will be on-hand Sept. 13. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Government resolve solid: Fassbender

Jennifer FeinbergThe Progress

Education minister Peter Fassbender confirmed the provincial government is feeling the heat at this point.

The dispute that has pitted the B.C. Teachers’ Federation against the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, has seen the parties drift further apart recently in their respective demands.

“I would describe it this way: we want children in school,” the education minis-ter told The Progress.

“We want families to be able to func-tion again with their kids in school, to be able to carry on with their lives. We’re feeling the pressure of that not happening, certainly.

“But we need to remember that this is the BCTF’s strike, not ours.”

Asked if the minister was worried that parents will gravitate to the private education sector out of frustration, he said he was not.

“I have a lot of faith in the public edu-cation system,” replied Fassbender. “My grandkids go to public schools. Parents have a right to make a choice. They will have to weigh those factors.”

With all parties stymied to this degree, what is it going to actually take to have the teachers’ strike end decisively?

“It’s going to take the union coming forward with a realistic wage and ben-efits package that brings them into the same affordability zone as other public sector unions.”

It would also take the willingness to negotiate, and entering into mediation possibly, and they cold put strike action on hold while they do that, he said.

Last week a proposal put before the BCTF president and chief negotiator for BCPSEA, to suspend things in a two-week timeout for school to begin, was rejected by the union.

Crey backs roundtable on missing womenJennifer FeinbergThe Progress

A national roundtable discus-sion on Canada’s missing and murdered aboriginal women might just do the trick.

That’s what Ernie Crey of Chilliwack has been broadcast-ing on social media all week.

Since the federal government has dug its heels in against calls for a public inquiry, a round-table approach might work in the interim, said Crey, a former social worker, and advisor to Sto:lo Tribal Council.

“They said that money would be better spent doing other things they regard as more practical than an inquiry,” he said. “While I don’t agree, being a practical person myself, I wondered what could be done today.”

Crey said he has been wait-ing and watching for a national aboriginal organization to come forward with an alternative to a full-blown public inquiry.

It came in the form of an idea from Michèle Audette of the Native Women’s Association of Canada for a roundtable, bring-

ing together federal, provincial and aboriginal counterparts.

“I was happy to see some-thing that could be done in the meantime,” Crey said.

Crey’s sister, Dawn Crey, was one of the women whose DNA was found on a pig farm owned by serial killer Willie Pickton. Ever since, he has been an extremely vocal advocate for a national public inquiry to tack-le the systematic aberration of missing and murdered aborigi-nal women.

The provincial premiers have also backed the roundtable idea.

“Let’s get down to brass tacks, and look at what policies and services are going to best serve families coping with the loss of a family member.

“Who could disagree with that?” Crey said.

These efforts could point toward improvements in hous-ing, children and family services or policing.

It could touch on the rela-tionships between the aborigi-nal community and the justice system.

■ COAST TO COAST

About 15 cyclists stopped at Cottonwood Mall on the first day of the seventh annual Sears National Kids Cancer Ride on Thursday. The team of riders is raising money for the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation. The 7,000km event is the world’s longest charitable cycling event on behalf of childhood cancer. One hundred percent of the money raised goes to the 17 oncology units across Canada to fund research programs for childhood cancer. Money raised in B.C. will go directly to the oncology ward at BC Children’s Hospital. All other expenses for the journey are taken care of by various sponsors. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

BCTF rejects premier’s call to suspend school strikeJeff NagelBlack Press

Premier Christy Clark today urged the B.C. Teachers Federation to suspend its strike to allow public school classes to open while negotiations continue.

And she insisted the union get “realistic” and move towards the public sector pattern on wage increases so the two sides can hammer out a deal to improve class support for special needs, which she called the biggest issue facing the education system.

“There are no easy fixes and no shortcuts to achieving long-term labour peace for kids,” Clark said in a news conference Wednesday

afternoon.BCTF president Jim Iker ruled

out a pause in the strike along the lines of the two-week truce the province proposed last week and is still offering.

“The government remains entrenched and unwilling to be flexible,” he told reporters. “We’re not suspending any strike right now.”

The premier had been criti-cized in recent days for keeping a low profile – apart from a few posts on Twitter and Facebook – as the teachers strike rolled into September without a deal.

“This is going to be settled at the negotiating table by nego-tiators,” Clark said. “There’s no

magic wand, there’s no one who can walk in and say ‘Guess what? I’ve come up with some simple, easy way that’s magically going to solve this.’”

The premier said the union’s position is unreasonably high and made repeated references to BCTF demands for massage therapy ben-efits – a request that was dropped in recent weeks – and a $5,000 signing bonus that would cost the province more than $150 million.

Clark gave no indication of how long the government is prepared to let the strike continue or if class-es might reopen under an essential services designation on the basis of damage to students’ education.

Fassbender has vowed the gov-

ernment won’t legislate the teach-ers back to work this time.

The strike began with rotating walkouts in the spring and turned into a complete school shutdown in mid-June.

There were virtually no negotia-tions through the summer until a last-minute effort at exploratory talks led by mediator Vince Ready began last week.

Ready walked out on Saturday, declaring an impasse with the two sides too far apart for mediation to be productive.

Clark said the eventual deal with teachers must be fair – giving them a deserved raise but also respect-ing that other unionized workers have accepted the government’s

economic mandate offer on wages.“The teachers union needs to

come to the table with a proposal that is realistic,” Clark told report-ers. “For heaven’s sake, 150,000 other public sector employees who work just as hard have settled for far less. They didn’t get a $5,000 signing bonus. They didn’t get unlimited massage. They didn’t get an extra day off every year.”

In fact, the massage demand, when it was still on the table, was for a maximum of $3,000 per year on a doctor’s prescription.

Iker insisted the BCTF is close to the government on wages and made significant concessions in recent weeks.

Arbitration unlikely path to end ongoing teachers strike

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Provincial government negotiator Peter Cameron is panning the idea of binding arbi-tration to settle the B.C. teachers strike.

The idea, advanced by Vancouver school board chair Patti Bacchus, comes after a failed attempt over the weekend by veter-an mediator Vince Ready to find common ground.

Cameron noted the government – which has already warned the teachers’ demands threaten to blow a massive hole in the pro-vincial budget – would be empowering one person to force through a final decision that might be extremely costly.

“It doesn’t seem to be a good solution from our perspective,” he said.

Nor, he said, is it the optimum way to reach a result best for students in classrooms or that the two sides can live with.

“The parties end up not really having made the hard decisions and owning the outcome,” Cameron said of arbitration. “And it involves a third party, who would likely be a labour rela-tions person rather than an educator, making educational decisions.”

B.C. Teachers Federation vice-president Glen Hansman said the union “might be open” to arbitration but doesn’t expect any interest from the province.

Instead, he suggested a deal could be within reach if the province sweetened its offer for a $75-million Learning Improvement Fund to assist with special needs and drops its demand for an “escape clause” allowing either side to set aside a future appeal court decision it dislikes on class composition.

“The education minister is saying wait for the court case,” Hansman said. “We agree – we would be open to something interim and whatever the court decides we’ll live with it.”

Labour Day crash claims motorcyclistJessica PetersBlack Press

A Langley man died of his injuries following a collision on Mt. Woodside near Agassiz on Labour Day.

RCMP said the man was driving a motorcycle west on the Lougheed Hwy. The

motorcyclist, 27-year-old Gregory Michael Yusik, failed to negotiate one of the turns on the hill and entered the eastbound lane where he col-lided with an oncoming car.

The driver of the car, a Chilliwack man, was unin-jured in the crash. However, the driver of a second motor-

cycle was injured in the mul-tiple vehicle collision. He had non-life-threatening injuries and was taken to Chilliwack General Hospital for treat-ment.

The accident happened just after 4 p.m. on the holi-day Monday. The highway remained closed in both direc-

tions for several hours, and Fraser Valley Traffic Services is investigating the collision. They are also requested assistance from the RCMP’s Integrated Collision Analyst Reconstructionist Services (ICARS) and the BC Coroners Service.

It’s a film event proclaiming the power of prevention when it comes to suicide and mental health issues.

In honour of World Suicide Prevention Day on Wednesday, Sept. 10, the film Patch Adams with Robin Williams will be screened at the Cottonwood Theatre.

Chilliwack Hospice Society and Chilliwack Community Services, with Prospera Credit Union, are inviting the community to take part in the special film event.

“We had been planning to host a film series as we do several times a year,” said Hospice society education coordinator Colleen Rush.

“In light of the fact of Robin Williams’ suicide, we thought this might be a good time to reach out and connect with people in the community, to let them know there are resources for those struggling with mental health issues.”

Having a celebrity of Williams’ calibre struggling in this way, “as unfortunate

as his death was, the one thing that has come out it since is increased aware-ness,” Rush said.

Awareness is key to crush-ing stigma, she said.

Hospice exists to offer sup-port for those grieving and dying, but they also started a suicide grief support group for the community.

After the film Patch Adams is screened next Wednesday, there will a discussion and Q&A session, and info about what support and resources are available in Chilliwack.

Chilliwack Community Services executive director James Challman said while they don’t provide suicide prevention counselling per se, they do offer many ser-vices that can lead to helpful referrals and guidance.

“So it’s very appropri-ate that we assist in the recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day,” Challman said.

Patch Adams, followed by Q&A discussions, Wednesday, Sept. 10, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Chilliwack Cottonwood 4 Cinemas on Luckakuck Way, $5.

If anyone is in crisis or needs to talk to some-one about suicide, call 1-800-SUICIDE or 1-800-784-2433.

“We would have had a two-week period to see if the BCTF could come into the affordability zone, and we could see if the mediator was willing to book the parties into full mediation,” Fassbender said.

He’s been busy this week, defending their position.

“It’s been suggested we are not willing to go into mediation, but we absolutely are, if the mediator accepts that it is possible, and if he determines that it is warranted.”

Tentative steps ended when

Vince Ready stepped away from exploratory talks without an agree-ment, saying the parties were too far apart.

“But the suggestion that gov-ernment is therefore unwilling to commit to mediation, is not cor-rect,” he underlined.

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

“We could have got a deal this past weekend if government was willing to move.”

Iker said the signing bonus demand is “nego-tiable” and reiterated his

call for Clark to meet him directly.

Iker repeatedly criticized the govern-ment for committing money to priorities other than education, includ-ing the new B.C. Place stadium roof, a payout to a California utility to settle lawsuits against BC Hydro, and now the $40-a-day payments to parents.

He estimated the extra money needed to fund the BCTF demands represents $3 per day per student.

“They have $40 a day right now to keep kids out of school. It’s about choices.”

But the province says the combined wages and benefits demand is still nearly twice what other public sector unions have

accepted.Overhanging the talks

is the government’s pending appeal of the lat-est court ruling on class size and composition, slated to be heard in mid-October.

Iker again called on the government to drop its insistence on a clause that would let it “nullify” another ruling in favour of teachers.

Cameron argues there’s noth-ing wrong with negotiating a deal now on class size and composition and says that’s what in line with last January’s B.C. Supreme Court ruling against the government.

The ruling of Justice Susan Griffith stated in part that there was no guarantee language restored in the old contract would be “clad in stone, as it can and likely will need to be the subject of ongoing collective bargaining.”

Cameron argues the union now seems to not wish to bargain class-room conditions after winning the right to do exactly that.

“It’s the union that’s refusing to bargain a provision into the new agreement addressing class size and composition,” he said. “They want a vacant spot left for

that in the hopes they get the old language back into the collective agreement and that it would carry forward.”

While the government has accused the union of demanding twice as much as other public sector unions when wages and benefits are counted together, Hansman said the province consid-ers items such as preparation time for teachers to deal with special needs students to be benefits.

“The government definition of benefits is everything other than salary,” he said. “The term is being used quite broadly.”

Hansman said the union has carved $125 million from its demand for a fund to settle griev-ances and dropped some extended health benefit demands – such as demands for $30,000 in lifetime fertility treatments and prescribed

massage or physiotherapy of up to $3,000 a year.

Also abandoned is a proposal to remove the bottom step of the pay grid to improve pay for start-ing teachers, which Hansman described as an “agonizing” con-cession.

He also said the BCTF is open to looking at a shorter contract term if that gives the province more comfort.

Hansman said the union’s demand for eight per cent in pay hikes over five years still wouldn’t bring B.C. teachers to pay parity with any other province.

One big chunk of the union’s ask is a $5,000 signing bonus, which the province estimates would cost at least $150 million, in addition to the extra $166 million it says the union seeks in higher wages and benefits.

“We could look at what is working in all of that, and what is falling short,” he said, listing possible focus points for the discussion.

The best part about a roundtable is that it brings all the players together at one time, Crey stressed.

But before anyone gets to the table for talks, there must be ample preparation.

“There’s momentum building for the round-table, but this should not be just another chance for photo-ops. All the parties should go into this prepared, otherwise it will flame out,” he said.

Prep work means being guided by com-mon terms of refer-ence, and what should come out of the process is a blueprint for how to finally address the entire issue of missing and murdered women.

“I think that National Aboriginal organiza-tions should pull togeth-er a planning commit-tee of government reps and Aboriginal peoples reps to scope-out the

proposed Roundtable on missing & mur-dered women.

“No time to waste,” Crey posted on social media.

The federal reps are now warming to the idea of a roundtable with the condition that the process results in more than just discus-sion and study.

More than 1,100 cases of murdered and missing aborigi-nal women have been reported to RCMP over the past three decades, with 1,000 of the reported cases con-sidered murder.

Education Minister Peter Fassbender says the province may take extraordinary steps to ensure senior second-ary students’ school year is not cut short by the teachers strike.

That could mean add-ing days to the school calendar later in the year, he said, to ensure Grade 12 students in particular complete their courses and get

all the marks they need.“Do you put it on the

end of the year? Do you take it out of Spring Break? Do you take it out of Christmas holi-days? My staff are look-ing at all of the options,” Fassbender said.

“It’s going to depend on how long this drags out. Whatever length of time it takes to get this settled, we will do everything we can to make sure the school year is kept whole for those students.”

It’s unclear how the government would finance adding extra days of classes later when all of the $12 mil-lion per day in strike savings may be con-sumed by the prov-ince’s offer of $40-a-day payments to parents.

“If they were accu-mulating the savings, that would be one thing – they would have a fund,” Vancouver School Board chair Patti Bacchus said.

“But they’re giving

away the budget right now to parents that would be otherwise available to pay for that.”

As of Thursday, 63 per cent of parents of eligible public school children under 13 had signed up for the $40 payments, which are expected to be made as a lump sum after the strike ends.

Other costs that the province continues to incur while schools are closed include salaries for school administra-tion as well as support staff with other unions that are eligible to be compensated for pay lost for not crossing teacher picket lines.

Support staff costs could hit $5 million a day once all their union locals ratify new con-tracts.

Education ministry officials said school districts would be con-sulted on any potential changes to the school year to mitigate the strike.

But Bacchus said she’s heard nothing so far and predicted it would be disruptive to families that have booked vacations and made other commit-ments far in advance.

“It’s not going to be easy,” she said, not-ing changes would also require exemp-tions from School Act requirements.

Talk of calendar adjustments is another sign of possible long-term implications from the strike, even though it has only disrupted the first few days of the new school year.

Chilliwack Museum and Archives is seeking a new director.

Former director Ron Denman has stepped into his old role tempo-rarily, while the board proceeds with hiring.

The director position at the museum became vacant when Deborah Hudson resigned last month “to pursue other interests,” according to the announcement in the museum newslet-ter.

“The job will be posted this week, and it closes on the 27th of September,” said Denman.

He’s been working on budgeting and plan-ning at the museum on Spadina Avenue, as well as ongoing proj-ects like The Chilliwack Progress Digitization.

But Denman could not shed any light on why Hudson left the job.

The Museum and Archives is governed by the Chilliwack Museum and Historical Society, and the search

for candidates is being undertaken by the board.

The Museum direc-tor “creates an envi-ronment that lets the museum and archives thrive,” according to the job posting. “As team leader, you are able to coordinate the

talents of the staff and volunteers to create a dynamic, community-engaged museum and archives. You know how to develop short and long term plans, have experience man-aging budgets and have job experiences that have of fered

increasingly challeng-ing growth opportuni-ties.”

Resumes with refer-ences can be forwarded to: [email protected] and the closing date is September 27, 2014.

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

Friday at 45860 Spadina Ave., Chilliwack. The Progress is a member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association, British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspaper Association and B.C. Press Council.

It was economist Herb Stein who said that something that can’t go on forever, won’t. He might have been talking about the follies of economics but he could have been talking about public education.

The dysfunctional mess that bureaucrats and union leaders have placed teachers, parents and children in is something that absolutely can’t go on.

The entrenched and embit-tered standoff between the BCTF and the government already cost some students their graduating year last June and has cost all students in the province their first week in the new school year. Now it’s threatening to disrupt the academic year if this goes on much longer. Already there are suggestions the strike could go beyond October.

That is unforgivable. Both par-ties squandered the entire sum-

mer when they could have sat down and negotiated at least some of the issues and moved forward toward a solution. Instead, they dug in, stalemated, and glared at

the other to see who would blink first. How, well, childish.

According to the UN Declaration of the Rights of the Child, every child has the right to an education. What happened to that statement in this

dispute?People are mad. Some parents

have dumped the public school system and enrolled their chil-dren in private schools. Daycare centres are swamped, day camps are springing up, parents are tak-ing kids to work or enrolling them in home school while oth-

ers are opening their homes and providing care and educational activities for other parents’ chil-dren. Some kids are home alone. And some teachers have set up shop to offer coaching. That’ll get up the union’s nose. But bot-tom line: struggling teachers with no income are going to put food on the table one way or another. That’s priority one. The average teacher, like many wage-earners, simply can’t go more than a couple of months without a paycheque before finances start to pinch.

This standoff, which has actu-ally been going on for over a decade, could be the catalyst for change. Parents may find there’s more than one way to educate their children and alternate ways to the public school system may have an appeal, especially after this gong show.

Distance learning, online

courses, home schooling, private schools, and private tuition are catching attention. They aren’t for everyone but they are via-ble options and coming under more scrutiny given the current frustration. Online courses in particular have exploded in the U.S. According to author Glenn Reynolds in his book The K-12 Implosion, there are over 1.8 mil-lion K-12 students enrolled in online schools, most of them in high school.

Then there are the eclectic charter schools that receive pub-lic funding but operate indepen-dently. Alberta has some 22 char-ter schools that operate similar to those in the U.S. They have a greater degree of autonomy and are able to offer programs that may be different from regular public schools.

Premier Christy Clark gave a lacklustre news conference on

Wednesday, urging teachers to suspend their strike, reduce their demands, and return to the bar-gaining table “with a proposal that is realistic.” It got the expect-ed pushback from union leader Jim Iker. Basically, fat chance of that. It was more pointless rhetoric that irritated rather than resolved anything. But then, Clark is famous – or infamous – for her unique style of getting under the BCTF’s skin.

No one seems to have an exit plan. Both sides have an intrac-table mindset, each endlessly blaming the other as casualties in the rhetoric war. Fuelling the standoff is not the way to play the negotiating game. Discussion, compromise, and willingness to give and take are needed to move forward.

The greatest casualty in this mess is a child’s education.

Will this education impasse have parents eyeing alternatives?LOCALLY GLOBAL

The wide gulf that dividesAny hope that Chilliwack students would

soon be back in school ended Wednesday with the duelling press conferences of Premier Christy Clark and BCTF president Jim Iker (see story, page 3).

The reality of empty classrooms and quiet hallways in what should be the start of a new and exciting school year failed to soften the intransigence demonstrated by both sides in this dispute.

To say they’re not on the same page would be generous. They’re not even in the same book.

That this dispute will lurch to some kind of conclusion is certain. The question is what that reality will look like.

There is a fundamental difference in the way the two sides believe education should be run in this province. It is a rift that dates back to 1998, when then NDP Premier Glen Clark gave the BCTF control over class size and composition in exchange for wage con-cessions. It was a deal struck between the government and the union – and one round-ly denounced by school boards across the province because, they argued, it deprived them of authority to manage their own school districts.

The agreement set rigid caps on teacher-student ratios and class composition. But what might sound good on paper, trustees complained, meant that a new teacher had to be hired if a classroom exceeded the limit by even one student. Making matters worse, there were insufficient funds provided by

government, leaving school districts with no choice but to gut their non-instructional staff to avoid a deficit (something they can-not do).

So when the Liberals swept to power, one of the first things they did was strip that language from the contract. If decisions about class size and composition were to be made, they argued, they should be done at the local level and with a degree of flexibility that kept those decisions manageable.

What they failed to check was the legality of the move.

The issue remains unresolved after the B.C. Supreme Court ruled the government had acted unconstitutionally.

It’s still before the courts. However, what’s in question is the way government removed the provision from the last con-tract, not that it can’t be renegotiated in a future contract.

So here we sit, with the BCTF unwilling to surrender a contract gain its members paid for (and the courts have said was constitutionally valid), and a government unwilling to return to a position it believes was fundamentally flawed.

Granted, there are a host of other issues that are keeping the two sides apart. But the biggest is the ideological shadow over who should control classroom conditions: the employer, or the employee.

And an amicable agreement on that is unlikely to come any time soon.

Fund public education properlyDear Premier Christy Clark

and Education Minister Peter Fassbender;

I am very disappointed about Mr. Ready’s departure from the “Framework” for negotiations, late yesterday.

I am saddened to hear that although the public school teach-ers’ BCTF bargaining team have this weekend made significant financial concessions, the govern-ment refuses to budge from their required clause concerning court rulings on class size and composi-tion.

Twice now, the B.C. govern-ment has been found to have vio-lated Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms in B.C. Supreme Court regarding these provincial educational matters.

As we all know, funding of public education for our future literate and discerning population and for lead-ers of a well functioning province, is paramount to all B.C. Those in charge of public education have

a duty to servicing all students of the families in this province.

I just recently attended the graduation ceremony of Grade 12 students of Sardis Secondary, last June 2014. Many well respected guest speakers outlined the chal-lenges around best preparing all our youngsters for a lifetime ahead; a future that will encompass so many great changes for them to meet.

My grandson was in that gradu-ating group. He has spent the last 12 years in this education system that has been underfunded.

I have taught in this public school system as well as living and teaching in Ontario for a few years, during this 12 year span. I have come to believe that it is public knowledge that provinces which invest in their children’s education thereby deliver better quality of life for their whole populations. Better educated populations tend to build stronger communities, exponen-tially.

Our family has engaged in sup-porting a number of students dur-ing this difficult 12 year period, on our own, to ensure their success. Many people in this province can-not afford to do that, even although they continue to pay their taxes. Public education must not continue to suffer from lack of attention to class size and support for student needs to learn, as two court deci-sions have already ruled.

I would call on Premier Clark and Minister Fassbender to address the class size and compo-sition concern as soon as possible. I also protest against any further public tax money from hard work-ing B.C. families to be used once again to attempt to reverse two previous court decisions. Instead, I encourage your government’s thoughtful investment in the edu-cation and futures of all B.C. public students.

Gravel removal draws questionsI have just noticed

heavy equipment quarry-ing gravel from the lower Vedder river. It seems very strange that this is being permitted when an endangered run of sock-eye into the Cultus Lake system is transitting the river and the July chi-nook salmon are incubat-ing in the gravel beds. I have also noticed anoth-er gravel bar marked out for removal further upstream. Though this is being done no doubt in

the guise of flood control, the existing capacity of the dikes in the area is far in excess of the maxi-mum flows of the river.

Gravel was quarried in an area further upstream a couple of years ago and they left a crater the size of a football field in area cut well below the normal river level. While wading into this area to fish I almost drowned when I slipped down the sub-merged steep edge of the gravel cut area into much

deeper water. I’ve talked with DFO

about this and the gentle-man I talked with was also quite surprised that this quarrying was being permitted and that permits had even been issued.

Some level of govern-ment is no doubt paying for the unnecessary exca-vations and the contrac-tor is probably selling the gravel. This all seems pretty foolish when DFO is on one hand paying

to enhance the river’s fish populations with the hatchery and on the other hand permitting the destruction of the gravel spawning beds for wild fish stocks.

The irony of the whole situation is a sign that is posted near the current quarrying area telling people to keep vehicles off the gravel beds as they are spawning habi-tat.

Transitional Housing for Youth

S22

From an early age Donny had struggles in his life. An unhealthy life style and diffi culties in school made him become socially isolated. After leaving his family home and living in foster and group care, his struggles led him to become involved in the Justice System.

Donny was then referred to Chilliwack Community Services and the Youth Services Programs. There he secured an apartment in the Village where he had the support to improve his life style choices and further develop his life skills. The Village provides safe and secure transitional housing with 24 hour support for youth who are homeless or at risk of being homeless. While living at the Village, Donny worked closely with various programs to build on his strengths and make positive changes.

Donny has since graduated Grade 12 and acquired part-time employment. He has had no further involvement with the justice system and continues to develop the skills to become an independent and successful adult. He maintains a healthier lifestyle and has developed a close circle of friends. Donny continues to grow and is now giving back to our community as a volunteer.The Village is located at 8937 School Street and provides supportive transitional housing for youth ages 16-20. Youth can reside in the Village for two years or until their twentieth birthday. During the time youth live at the Village they are engaged with the Youth Support Program to learn the life skills they need to be successful adults. For more information please call 604-819-8012.

Let’s hire an army of octopusesFormer education minis-

ter George Abbott believes that “improved teacher training,” may be a viable solution with which to address the increased number of special needs students in class-rooms.

While further education for instructors is always a positive move, this proposed initiative does not solve the dilemma of divid-ing one adult’s attention between 30 nine-year-olds, (including those with designated special needs),

while also supporting other stu-dents who may have intellectual, social, emotional, behavioural challenges, learning disabilities, or giftedness – none of which may qualify for extra funding.

The solution is simple: scrap those human teachers, and have the school districts hire an army of octopuses. According to Wikipedia, these cephalopods are “social creatures, with acute vision, and are the most intelligent and behaviourally flexible of all inver-

tebrates.” Most importantly, they possess eight arms, allowing them to assist seven children with IEPs, leaving one appendage for the other 13 students. Moreover, they can provide ink for pens, stamp pads, and artwork, while reserving plenty to splatter upon the gov-ernment’s E-80 clause, which pro-poses that educators ignore two consecutive B.C. Supreme Court victories and the results of subse-quent appeals.

Continued: CLUCC/ p26

Jenna HauckThe Progress

Cultus Lake United Church Campground has closed its gates for the fall and winter season, but unlike other campsites, it won’t be opening again in the spring.

After 81 years, CLUCC will no longer be a place where campers and camp counsellors can gather and talk about God. No longer will meals be served in Rutley Hall. No more Band-Aids will be issue at the nurse’s cabin. No more late-night giggles will be hushed in the tree-named cabins of Alder, Birch, Cedar, Dogwood, Fir, Poplar and Spruce.

“It’s like saying goodbye to an old friend,” said Sarah Veltman. “It’s my favourite place in the world.”

Current and past campers, counsellors, staff and volunteers

gathered on Labour Day weekend for The Final Campfire, a celebra-tion of eight decades of memories, friendships, laughs and tears for some of the thousands involved with the camp over the years.

CLUCC began in the late 1890s as a summer camp and meeting ground at the corner of Higginson Road and Chilliwack River Road in Sardis.

In 1933, a 50-year lease was signed for the 15-acre piece land at the south end of Cultus Lake, in between Lindell Beach and Maple Bay, where the campground cur-rently sits. The lease was renewed for another 30 years after that, and most recently the camp secured a single-year lease which expires on April 30, 2015.

CLUCC sits on provincial crown land, and is leased through Cultus Lake Provincial Park which plans to convert the area into a public

campground starting next year.“B.C. Parks has been in com-

munications with the United Church and they are aware of our intention to redevelop the site for public use,” wrote David Karn, media relations for the Ministry of Environment, in an email. “The decision was not taken lightly and was made only after careful consid-eration. An expanded campground at Maple Bay will increase park capacity and benefit all visitors to the provincial park.”

On Sunday about 100 people were there for a morning service. They stood holding hands in a cir-cle for the ‘squeeze prayer’ — one person started by saying thanks, then when finished, they squeezed the person’s hand beside them so the next person could say a few words.

“Lord, I’d like to thank you for the many years that this camp has been

operating. Eighty-one years has been awesome. It’s touched many lives, mine included,” said one.

“I have many memories, too, of this camp — of being a camper, of being a counsellor, of bringing my kids to family camp. So for me, it is also a very sad day,” said another.

Harry and Helen McTaggart were two of Sunday’s guests. They met at CLUCC in 1952 — he was the groundsman, she worked in the kitchen. They got married four years later. He paused for a moment to explain what the camp is like.

“How do you put that into words?” he asked. “It’s just… heav-en. It’s what heaven must be like.”

That night, the group gathered to sing and pray around the last campfire that was lit at CLUCC.

One camper stood up a yelled “this is a repeat-after-me song!”

Everyone else jumped up.

“This is a repeat-after-me song!” they shouted.

Some songs were loud and full of actions, others were quiet as friends swayed back and forth in unison to the gentle strum of a guitar.

After an hour of singing, Kristin Autio, minister in training, said the last campfire prayer.

“God of singing and dancing and silliness and camp, we are gath-ered together in a strange group of people in the most wonderful way,” said Autio. “We are preparing for a goodbye tomorrow; a goodbye that nobody really wants to say, but a goodbye nonetheless. So let us enjoy this night with you. Give us peace to see the beauty of camp at night.”

The campers slowly departed to their cabins for one final sleep at CLUCC.

The Yukon is GMC Yukon territoryIt’s hard to believe but GMC has never held a vehicle launch for the Yukon full-sized SUV in the Yukon Territory, until now. Media from across Canada landed in Whitehorse and travelled around the territory recently in the all-new 2015 GMC Yukon model, ending up in the famous gold rush time capsule of Dawson City. From the wooden sidewalks to the gravel covered streets, this preserved part of history looks and feels much the way it would when gold was first discovered in 1896. The Yukon is also a great test for this big truck because of the immense stretches of unpopulated roads with smooth sections, potholes and loose gravel. The Yukon has it all, including spectacular vistas, wide-open space and spectacular scenery. Spending three days behind the wheel made me realize what a good job GMC has done with this truck, from fuel economy to creature comforts.

LooksLast year, GM introduced the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra full-size pickup trucks. In fact, the Silver-ado won the North American Truck of the Year and the GMC Sierra won the AJAC truck of the year. With a solid basis, the engineers then went about building the full-sized SUVs based on the truck chassis. They include the Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe, the GMC Yukon and Denali, plus the Cadillac Escalade. These represent a huge profit centre for General Motors and they needed to get them right. The GMC Yukon is the most popular of the bunch with one-in-three full-sized SUV buyers choosing the Yukon, which is opposite to the United States where the Chevrolet trucks dominate. The top Yukon Denali model traditionally represents about 35 per cent of all Yukon sales but in the first few months of sales, it has captured more than 60 per cent.

Inside The long wheelbase model is an im-posing truck and a favourite of large families that need the third row of seating, plus a functional cargo area. The more popular short wheelbase offers a lot of room as well but when the third row of seats is employed the cargo area is diminished. On all but the base model, the second and third row of seats can be folded and store electronically. The Denali is exceptionally well equipped and shows great attention to detail, with the aluminum trim around the radio and heat controls, leather seating with French stitching. What the GMC Yukon offers over the Cadillac cousin is a simpler dashboard layout with traditional rotary knobs and buttons,

whereas the Cadillac has moved to touch sensitive panels that take time to master.

DriveThe Yukon is offered with two engine choices, the 5.3L 355hp V8 in the base SLE and middle SLT Yukon models and the 6.2L V8 in the Denali. This 6.2L engine is also used in the Escalade. There are several reasons to consider the Denali over the base 5.3L engine. The first is the inclusion of the magnetic ride control system that is also available in the Escalade. This sys-tem adapts the suspension up to 100 times per second and performed well on a variety of road surfaces in the Yukon. The second is a noise cancelling system that pumps sound waves through the Denali’s stereo system to help eliminate unwanted road and engine noise. The third reason is the mighty 6.2L engine with 420hp and 460 lb.-ft. of torque. Because this engine and the 5.3L have direct injection, variable value tim-ing and most importantly, cylinder management, the

V8 can switch off half of the eight cylinders and lean off the fuel mixture to reduce fuel consumption. With more than 1,000 km driven at a range of speeds, the real world consumption was 12L/100 km, close to the 11.4L/100 km official highway rating with the 6.2L engine. All the current Yukon models are equipped with a 6-speed automatic but the 6.2L engines will get an 8-speed this fall, with the 5.3L following next year. AWD is standard on all but the base model and these trucks can tow up to 3856 kg.VerdictThe Yukon is winner on all trim levels. I could find no fault but it is pricey. Starting at $51,800 for the SLE or $60,960 for the SLT and $75,540 for the Denali, this isn’t a cheap prospect. However, the Denali offers most of the same features as the more expensive Cadillac Escalade but is more use-friendly and less expensive.

Drives-U-Crazy

By Alexandra Straub

ANN ARBOR, MI. – If you’re driving to Hell, what kind of car would you want to be in?An SUV? A sports car? One that if you never come back, at least your missing person’s report would list you last seen: “in something fast, fl ashy and awesome?”When my driving partner and I stumbled upon Hell, Michi-gan, or at least the sign that directed us that way, we were in the all-new, 2015 Hyundai Sonata; a sedan that is now seven generations strong.We had air conditioning in case it got really hot and directions via the navigation system in case we wanted to go to Hell and back and lost our way. And comfortable seats in case the crossing of the River Styx was long and arduous. Furthermore, we had the power to get us out of there if we needed to leave in a hurry.Okay, enough about Hell and back to the car… for 2015, the Sonata gives you two engine options; both of which have been revised for the seventh generation.The fi rst is a peppy 2.4L, 4-cyl-inder with 185 horsepower and 178 lb-ft of torque.Then there’s the spirited, optional, 2.0-litre twin-scroll turbocharged four-cylinder engine with 245 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. Both engine variants are linked

with a 6-speed automatic transmission.There’s a lot going on with Hyundai’s mid-size sedan. It’s built with an all-new chassis, which equates to a more com-fortable ride, better handling and an overall improvement in NVH (Noise, Vibrations, Harshness.) To test that out, we took it to the streets of Ann Arbor in Michigan, as well as the backcountry roads that have sweeping corners and tight turns.The fi rst thing I noticed was how much better the handling was, especially when you have it in Sport mode. The 2015 Sonata gives the driver a choice of three drive modes. In Sport, powertrain respon-siveness and heavier steering weight are both increased. The steering weight defi nitely comes in handy on the twisty parts of the road. In Normal mode, steering isn’t as responsive but better suited for urban environments. And if you’re in a fuel saving mood, pop the car into Eco mode. Speaking of steering, Hyundai mentions, “The 2015 Sonata’s steering wheel features an irregular shape with increased rim thickness and ergonomic grip rests. These subtle changes ensure more of the steering wheel surface remains in contact with the driver’s hands. In turn, the vehicle offers enhanced steer-ing system feel, especially at

high speed.”I’d agree with this. My fi ngers were comfortably placed at 9 and 3 o’clock and felt pretty good there.But it’s not just the driving modes and steering wheel that make the Sonata as popular as it is. The 2015 comes with all new styling inside and outside.Let’s start with the cabin, since the driver will spend

more time looking at a centre stack than they will the front, hexagonal grille.Featuring even higher quality materials than before, it’s softer to the touch and the layout is optimized for the driver. On the outside, you’ll see a family resemblance to the Sonata’s big brother, the Genesis. The character line is more

pronounced, yet the cumula-tive look is more sophisticated and mature.Visit www.hyundaicanada.com for more information.

Home&GardenBright ideas for bulb combinations

Although it’s always nice to see the first bulbs of spring add their charm and brightness to an often wet, cold and sometimes snowy late winter, their first appear-ance could be so much more eye-catching. With just a little extra thought, planning and value adding, the ordi-nary can become extraordi-nary.

Most of us really do a pret-ty good job in our gardens, but by taking it to another level, we can make our gar-dens truly inspirational. The wow factor gives us so much more aesthetic satisfaction and enjoyment.

The art of combining bulbs is truly the magic that makes all the differ-ence. Most of us know how to blend colours, but we are a little uncertain when it comes to the timing of spring bulbs. With so many varieties of narcissus and tulips, it’s very difficult to combine them if we’re not sure they will bloom at the same time. The latest trend in floriculture is creating stunning combinations.

Just wait until next spring, and you’ll be amazed to see what’s coming your way. Major horticultural compa-nies are taking a leadership role here, using brilliant designers to create beautiful combinations that come pre-packaged to make it easy to have that stunning display.

This fall, more than ever before, you’re going to discover how easy it is to purchase pre-packaged bulb combinations that have exact colour blends and timing and just the right number of bulbs to plant throughout our gardens. The International Flower Bulb Institute in Holland, along with growers and bulb exporters, have put together

some pretty amazing com-binations for planting this fall and for enjoyment in late winter through spring. Here are some of those beautiful combinations you’ll see in garden stores this fall.

‘Diamonds & Sapphires’ is quite an uplifting collection of dark blue muscari (grape hyacinths) and sparkling white Anemone blanda. Both bloom a long time and ‘perennialize’ to come up year after year.

For something really dif-ferent there is ‘Charisma’, an orange blend of split corona white narcissus with ruffled orange centres that creates harmony with coral orange botanical tulips. Both will repeat bloom nicely next

year.‘Enchanted Pixies’ are just

what you’d expect– a fun combination of the tiny head-ed ‘Cha-Cha’ and ‘Bittern’ narcissus. These minis will show up in your garden year after year.

‘Sweet Dreams’ is a wonderful soft pastel mix of ‘Emperor Exotica’ and ‘Purissima’ tulips. Talk about lifting your spirits, especially on those dark cold early days of spring.

I don’t know why, but these three ‘Prince’ tulips, in combination, just pop: ‘Summer’, ‘Candy’ and ‘Purple Prince’ combine yellow, lavender and purple in quite a magical display. Gosh, it’s nice!

‘Mango Tango’ has rich warm yellow and burgundy tones using the tulips ‘Jan Reus’ and ‘Candy Corn’ in a beautiful display of spring charm.

‘Magic Carpet Ride’ uses one of the most underrated bulbs - the entire family of muscari or grape hyacinths.

By blending together Muscari armeniacum, M. album and M. latifolium, a blue and

white carpet that lasts for at least three to four weeks is created. A planting of tiny bi-colour blue and purple violas would bloom

before, during and after this display and truly enhance this already delightful combination.

‘Peachy Keen”, a real show stopper, features

a very different colour combination, blending ‘Cool Flame’ narcissus and ‘Apricot’ tulips. A unique pansy combina-tion called ‘Citrus Mix’ with white, orange and soft yellow would value add this combination brilliantly.

With so many bulb varieties available today, the possibili-ties for combinations are limitless, but pre-designed packages make it so much easier. These combinations do best in garden beds. Containers would need to be well insulated, especially after last winter’s severe cold. More and more folks are planting in special bulb trays that look very much like water

lily containers. You simply plant them up in good soil and bury the containers in the ground. You can either lift them up and pop them into containers once the bulbs come up in spring or even better, lift them when they finish blooming to keep your garden looking tidy and let the spent bulbs die down naturally in an out-of-the-way area, for plant-ing next fall.

Do try some of these delightful combinations for a fabulous display next spring. They are widely available right across the country and with a little effort now, it will be a valuable addition to your garden next spring.

Date Book

Training your core, the part of your body that connects your arms to your legs, has become a major focus in fitness. A strong core will improve your balance, posture, over-all strength, and ath-letic ability. However, the physiology behind effective core training has been lost in bustle of machines, fad fitness programs and infomer-

cials which promise a trim waist and perky backside with four easy payments of $19.99. Today, I will bust a few of the myths on the quest for flat abs and a strong core.

Myth 1: The core is another name for the abdominals.

The ‘core’ is made up of all the muscles which attach to the pelvis, hips, and spine, not only the abdominals. The core includes the diaphragm, pelvic floor, abdominals, back muscles, hip flex-ors, hamstrings, buttock muscles, and muscles of the neck.

Myth 2: Doing

abdominal crunches will result in a strong core.

Crunches target the rectus abdominis, the most super-ficial abdominal muscle (also known as the six-pack). It is only one muscle of the entire core complex. Over-s trengthening this muscle will lead to poor posture and

back problems. Aim to strengthen all the mus-cles of your core for a balanced body.

Myth 3: Crunches will give you a six pack.

Crunches and other abdominal exercises (even better exercise such as planks, lower abdominal exercises

and cable rotations) tar-get your muscles, not the surrounding fat. Muscles do not ‘own’ the fat around them. A sen-sible diet and exercise regime will reduce the belly fat and expose the muscles underneath. We cannot spot reduce.

Myth 4: If we cannot spot reduce, we must to exercising in the ‘fat burning zone’ is the best way to shed extra body fat and flatten the abs.

If only this was the case! Traditional car-dio is grossly overused. There are a lot of bene-fits about from doing tra-ditional cardio exercise, but fat loss isn’t one of them. Some common side effects of too much cardio is increased appe-tite and the false believ-

ing that you burned enough calories to com-pensate for poor eating. Like I said, there are still many benefits of doing low intensity training. If your goal is fat loss, however, you will get more results from build-ing strength in your body and eating prop-erly to shift your body to ‘fat burning mode’ while you are at rest.

Myth 5: The best way to strengthen your core muscles is to isolate them with specific exer-cises.

Core muscles are essential for all move-ments, including walk-ing, running, turning, bending, pushing and pulling. They should be active and strengthened during all exercises and movements. Use the drawing-in exercise to activate your core. While sitting, standing or laying on your back, inhale and let your belly expand. As you exhale, hollow your abdominals by drawing your belly button in toward your naval. At the same time, contract your pelvic floor (think about stop-ping the flow of urine). Hold for 10 seconds. Practice breathing while still drawing in your abdominals. You should initiate all exercises with the drawing-in maneu-ver.

Myth 6: You should train your core every day.

Your core muscles are no different than any other muscle - they need rest to get stronger. You should use your core everyday (while you walk, run, turn, bend, and so on), but you should train them every other day. This will give your muscles time to recover.

CommunityAgassiz United hosts 32nd annual garage sale

Saturday, September the 6th from 8 a.m. until 2 p.m. marks the 32nd annual Agassiz United Church Garage Sale. The Sale has grown into a much anticipated community event, as friends and neigh-bours gather to hunt for trea-sures and bargains. Many peo-ple in the community donate “gently used” items such as furniture, house-wares, cloth-ing, books, tools, toys, col-lectibles, antiques and sports equipment as well as many other sought after articles.

The Annual Garage Sale relies on a small army of vol-unteers who work the whole

week prior to the sale to sort, clean and price items. The United Church Women’s group (UCW) provides a sumptuous homemade bak-ing table in conjunction with the Garage Sale. Others make traditional Russian borscht, which is featured at the lunch counter along with sandwich-es, the borscht is also sold by the quart and usually sells out quickly.

The Garage Sale commit-tee encourages residents to donate furniture, clothing, books, collectibles, garden-ing tools, house-wares, toys, sports equipment and practi-

cally anything that someone else can make good use of. Unfortunately we can no lon-ger accept donations of old TVs and electronics.

Visitors from all over the Valley, as well as local resi-dents, browse the garage sale to find their winter reading material, unearth hidden trea-sures, seek out furniture and discover many other house-hold necessities along with having a great lunch and visit-ing with friends.

It is a bargain hunter’s delight! Out of print books; discontinued pieces of Royal Albert china; collectible toys;

golf clubs; great jackets are some of the many cherished objects carted off home. This year there is a huge selection of buttons - lots of old buttons and decorative buttons for all the sewers and crafters.

If you wish to donate items to the annual Garage Sale, the committee will arrange to have them picked up the week of Sept. 1st to 5th or you can drop them off at the Agassiz United Church, 6860 Lougheed Hwy., during that same week. For more information call: Elaine Olson 604-796-9654, Marie Edmondson 604-796-9833, Bev Kennedy 604-796-2459.

Community

In the morning, the group made its way to the chapel in the woods.

Tall evergreen trees surrounded the rows of long wood benches. A dirt floor of branches, rust-coloured leaves, and bugs sat beneath them.

It was a sad day for everyone. People sat with their arms around each other crying and comforting one another.

When the sermon was over, Samantha Adams walked over to a six-foot-tall wooden cross leaning against a tree. The cross was laden with unlit tealight candles. She picked up the cross and carried it on her back down to the lake as people followed her. She gently laid it down where the grass meets the beach.

Continued: NEXT PAGE

CLUCC from page 15

Above: Campers were emotional as they listened to the last sermon at CLUCC on Monday morning. Below, Kaylyn Munro lights a candle on the cross. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

One by one, people walked up to the cross, shared a memory of CLUCC, and lit a candle.

There were memo-ries of jumping off rocks, getting a pie in the face, getting their first CLUCC sweater, eating candy at night when they’re supposed to be sleeping, not being able to see out of one eye after being bit by a mosquito, and the awful taste of mustard mis-takenly put on grilled cheese sandwiches.

“This camp has meant everything to me. This camp is what was the hold on me. Without it, I don’t know where I would be,” said Adams.

One camper recalled ‘the goose run’. You’d start at the top of the hill, he said, from the din-ing hall and “you’d run as fast as you can and scream as loud as you can toward the geese.”

Moments later a

flock of geese flew over the lake. They appeared to be a bit offtrack, and seconds later, they made a U-turn. A minute passed, and the geese returned, honking loudly, directly above the CLUCC crowd gath-ered for the cross cere-mony. Everyone looked up and laughter flowed from the campsite.

After they shared their memories, the cross was placed into the water and pushed away from the shore.

“These might not be people you are close to particularly, but they are your family,” said Autio. “They are your church family, they are your camp family and they are your friends because of this place.”

Season startsWill new skaters fix leaky D?

The BCHL Chilliwack Chiefs held their train-ing camp Tuesday and Wednesday at Prospera Centre, and now turn their attention to prepping for the BCHL Showcase.

The roster of the junior A team has gone through a major makeover, with new head coach/general manag-er 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.

Eric J. Welsh,The Progress

Film from last year tells the tale of a defensive unit that left opposing forwards to wander free around the Chilliwack zone.

As shaky as goalies Josh Halpenny and Spencer Tremblay were last year, they were done no favours by the D.

Odd-man rushes caused by ill-advised pinches.

Opponents standing alone in the goal-crease, col-lecting rebounds like rocks at a beach.

Poor coverage allowing high percentage shots and just a general cluelessness about how to defend the net.

Only one player returns from that unit.

Eric Roberts enters his third year with the Chiefs after suiting up for 51 games last year.

The Abbotsford native will never provide much offence (1-9-10 in 2013-14), but Chiefs head coach and general manager Jason Tatarnic thinks Roberts is the sort of dependable D-man he likes.

‘We want our D-core to be steady and reliable and we don’t go looking for six flashy guys,” Tatarnic said. “We wanted to add guys who play with a little bit of jam, are mobile and can move the puck. You used to be able to get away with body position, clutching, grabbing and hooking guys

with a long stick. Now, if you can’t move your feet you’re in trouble.”

Roberts will wear the cap-tain’s C for the Chiefs.

He’ll be joined by new names Olivier Arseneau, Vincent Desharnais, Mark Esposito, Evan McEachern and Brandon Tkachuk. Langley native Dennis Cholowski is only 16 years old, but his high-end skill will have him pressing for playing time.

With the group he’s assembled, Tatarnic feels comfortable going head to head with any opponent and any style.

“No matter who we play, we want to act and not react, moving our feet and the puck and making plays,” Tatarnic said. “When you face the physical teams, it’s about your willingness to take a check to make a play. Being ‘tough’ isn’t so much about being the team that gives as it is being the team that takes it and keeps on going.”

Tatarnic witnessed that first hand coaching his Woodstock Slammers against the Penticton Vees in the 2013 Royal Bank Cup tourney.

“We were a big physi-cal team while they were very mobile, and they were labelled as a soft team,” he recalled. “It’s true they weren’t a big, punishing

team. But when you hit them they just kept going about their business.”

To get his crew up to speed on the ‘jam quotient,’ Tatarnic will have them doing battle drills in prac-tice every day.

“If you want something bad enough, you’re willing to do it,” Tatarnic said. “If you constantly practice on-on-one battles it will become a habit.”

“If you want to play our style of hockey, you have to buy in,” assistant coach Kyle Adams added. “We’re not saying you have to fight or go around swinging your stick like an idiot. It’s about playing in the dirty areas and how hard you compete on pucks.”

On special teams, Carter Cochrane was the guy opponents had to game-plan around last year, scoring eight of his 16 goals on the power play.

Tatarnic doesn’t know if he has ‘the guy’ who will be a big PP threat.

Nor does he believe his group is devoid of offensive ability.

“You can get in trouble if you just rely on one guy, because it’s easy to just key on that guy, steer the puck in one direction and make the opponents’ choices for them,” the coach cautioned. “If you have two guys back there, it makes it really hard

to defend, and that’s what we’re hoping. Two defence-men working as a tandem to provide some vision back there. Or, maybe one and a forward.”

Back to five on five, Tatarnic said his defense-men will have the green light to get involved offen-sively, but they have to be smart about it.

He encourages them to join the rush if it means turning a two-on-two into a three-on-two. But where pinches are concerned, they’ll have to be more cau-tious.

“What we have to teach the guys is, ‘if you’re going to pinch, what is the result of the play going to be?’” Tatarnic said. “If it’s just to keep a puck in and get it down low, you’ve got to weigh the risk and reward. You can pinch, but you’ve got to be 100 per cent sure you’re going to get the puck. If not, don’t do it.”

The Chiefs open their exhibition slate tonight (Friday), facing the Surrey Eagles at 7 p.m. at Prospera Centre.

They visit Surrey Saturday.

The Chiefs and Coquitlam Express will meet next Thursday in Hope and the Powell River Kings are in town to wrap up preseason play Sept. 13.

PRESEASON 2014

Big Vincent Desharnais may be part of the answer for a Chilliwack Chiefs defence that bled goals at an alarming rate last season. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Chilliwack’s midget football Giants opened their season last week-end with a 28-6 road win over the North Delta Longhorns.

Rookie quarterback Riley Clayton capped Chilliwack’s first offen-sive drive with a four yard touchdown run, then threw a touchdown toss to Trey Isaac for the second Giant major.

Jace Harden’s 40 yard run back on an inter-ception set up the third Chilliwack TD, with run-ning back Thomas Heuser following the bruising blocking of Randy Nixon into the endzone.

Chilliwack’s offensive line of Matt McGregor, Cullan Haughian, Ryland Jantzen, Scott Hayton, Vincent Giesbrecht, Lucas Macri and Chris Derksen was solid.

Protected by the big boys, Clayton capped off the scoring with a touchdown pass to Ben Richards, who took a huge hit but held on.

Grayson Marquardt was a defensive standout for the Giants, who stay on the road for a game in Coquitlam this weekend.

● The bantam Giants overcame soggy condi-tions to win their opener, topping North Surrey 20-8.

Tynan Ackah-Sanzah’s 15 yard touchdown run had Chilliwack trailing 8-6 at halftime, and the score stayed that way into the fourth quarter.

After the Chilliwack defence forced a turn-over-on-downs, Warren Rogers ripped off runs of nine, eight and nine yards, bringing his team to the Surrey three yard line. Quarterback Gabe Olivares finished the drive with a dive into the end-zone, giving the Giants a 13-8 lead.

Olivares added the insurance major on the next Chilliwack series, finding the endzone on another quarterback

keeper.Defensive standouts

were Hayden Oraschuk, Joshua Roos, Cash Wich, Brett Nessel, Nat Oenema, Terry Richley and Erik Vander Werff.

● The junior bantam Giants toppled Meadow Ridge in their opener, win-ning 17-8.

Justin Crook’s boom-ing 40 yard punt led to a two-point safety and Chilliwack’s first points. Trei Lindstrom fired a TD toss to Nicholas Butler for one Giant major and running back Jot Buttar scored another on a 25 yard ramble.

● Chilliwack’s peewee Red Giants blew out the Mission Niners 45-0.

Logan Buchwitz, Kieran Bearchell, Ken Mussell, Jaxon Visser and Theo Smith all scored touchdowns.

Ben Uz knocked through a convert kick, with Nick Beck running in another.

Buchwitz came up with an interception while Daniel King, Theo Smith and Raiden Mastin all pro-duced quarterback sacks.

Chilliwack’s Robert Johnson is a world tri-athlon champion, win-ning last weekend’s International Triathlon Union World Grand Final in Edmonton.

Johnson competed in two races, starting with the sprint distance on Friday.

He placed third in his men’s 30-34 age group, covering the course in 1:02:55.

Johnson finished close behind American Matt Migonis (1:01:06) and Great Britain’s Paul Ryman (1:01:26), then exacted revenge in Sunday’s full-distance triathlon.

Johnson started strong in the 1500 metre open-water swim, clocking the seventh fastest time at 19 min-utes and 55 seconds. Lightning quick in the

first transition, he head-ed out on the 40 km bike stage, completing that in 57:34.

Johnson faced a deficit heading into the 10 km run, but with first place in sight, he recorded the second fastest time at 34:35.

The stretch run was epic, with Johnson surging ahead to beat American Mark Tripp by one minute and 13 seconds.

Johnson’s final time was 1:56:23.

Tripp’s was 1:57:10.Ryman was third at

1:57:45.“There was a moment

before Monday’s race when I escaped from the chaos to a quiet hallway, closed my eyes and thought about all the days it took to get there,” he wrote in his online blog at

hojumantri.blogspot.ca/2014/09/thank -yous.html. “I thought about all those morn-ings the alarm went off before 5 a.m., all those days swimming outside in the cold, the dark. I thought about all those days riding my bike in the rain, the wind. I didn’t feel even a twinge

of nervousness because in my mind, I had trained for years with the best and there was nothing that anyone could throw at me that I couldn’t handle.”

EDMUND (ED) EMIL HOHNMAY 27, 1924 - OCT 18, 2013

On Sept 12, 2014 Ed and Elsa will be “dancing together forever” in their fi nal resting place at the Chilliwack Cemetery.

Ed was born May 27, 1924 in Vegerville, AB, to Carl (d.1961) and Matilda (Gafka) Hohn (d.1969) . He was raised in Brush Hill AB with his 2 brothers, George (d.1967) & David (d.2004) and 1 sister, Margaret Howatt (d.1972) . In 1941 he and his family moved to Chilliwack, BC where they resided on Tretheway Ave and eventually he moved to his own place on Williams St. where he lived for many years. A trucker

by trade, he worked for various outfi ts but his favourite and longest job was with Country Freight Lines where he received many work related awards.. He also loved working with wood and over the years he created many beautiful pieces but his most prized were the award winning Log Cabin planters which adorn many homes. He also loved travel and photography and took great pleasure in showing family and friends his adventures to places both far and near in both slide and picture form. Square dancing, curling and golf were just a few of the activities he enjoyed the most and he was always available to lend a hand to anyone who needed help. On Feb 16,1990 Ed married his best friend and soul mate Elsa. He is survived by 4 nephews, Wayne (Betty) Hohn, Nelson, BC,. Dennis (Joanne) Hohn, Prince George, BC. Wes Howatt, Abbotsford, BC. An Glenn Howatt (Ena) , Abbotsford, BC and numerous great nieces and great nephews.

Elsa was born Feb 22, 1930 in Kelowna, BC to Robert (d.1967) and Frances (Dickson) Smith (d.1978) and she grew up with her 2 brothers, Bill (d.2008) & Eric (d.1944) and 3 sisters, Sybil Ennis (d.2003) Chrissy Stump of Parksville BC, & Shirley Coombes (d.1993) ) on their orchard in Summerland, BC. In 1947 she married John Mernickle (Mermichel) and they had 5 children, . Elsa and her family moved to the Chilliwack area in 1956 and then settled on Ford Rd in Rosedale in 1958. She became very active within the community, especially with Cub Scouts and Square Dancing, and she forged many great friendships there. In the early 70’s she went to school and became a bookkeeper and eventually worked at Unruh’s, Ron Meszaros Accounting, and then Edmondson Roper Accountants. A very active person, she enjoyed many sports but golf, and curling were her favorite. She loved sewing and teaching her some of her granddaughters to sew but her crowning glory ,and lasting legacy, will be the many many gorgeous quilts she made for everyone. She also made beautiful wall hangings, with the favorite being her “Amazing Grace”. She moved to Chilliwack in the early ‘80’s and on Feb 16, 1990 married her best friend and soul mate Ed. Her son Norman died in 1971 and she is survived by 3 sons Bob (Sherrie) Mernickle of Fernley, Nevada, Gord (Jenny) Mernickle of Beaumont, AB, and Jim (Angie) Mernickle of Yellowknife NWT, and 1 daughter, Dixie Pinchbeck (Jason) of Leslieville AB. and many beloved grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

Together Ed and Elsa lived on Wolf Rd where they made their home a special place. Ed kept busy helping around the condo complex and doing his woodworking, and Elsa also created most of her works of art there! For years they spent weekends at Black Mountain Ranch hanging with friends, golfi ng, and doing ceramics and they she especially enjoyed having the grandchildren there. Trips all over BC, Alberta and to the USA for important events for family and friends were a very big part of their life. In 2011 they sold their home and relocated to Nelson BC to an Independent Living Facility where they could be closer to family and enjoy the amenities of their new home. Deteriorating health and a need for more help brought them to Red Deer AB in 2012, to a lovely home where they could stay together in the same place. After Ed’s passing Elsa moved in with her daughter and son-in-law in Leslieville AB for her fi nal days.

Interment to take place on Fri. Sept. 12, 2014 at Chilliwack Cemetery with a Memorial to follow at 3:00 at Hendersons Funeral Home Tea Room on Victoria Ave. Chilliwack.

In lieu of fl owers donations can be made to the Ahlzheimers/Dementia Society.

He loved golf, roosters, Ven-ice, Kokanee, gardening and handyman projects where is incredible talent and artistic eye “always saw the vision.” But most of all he loved his family. To say he excelled at the father/grandfather role would be a huge understate-ment.

She retired from teaching French at Sardis Secondary in 2004 in order to spend more time with her grandchildren. She gave end-lessly to the people she loved, willingly sharing her talents and her time. Visiting and trav-eling with her family and friends brought her so much joy. During her retirement she continued to travel the world. She was a wonderful grand-mother, mother, friend and mentor. For our families, she will remain our teacher for decades to come, as the les-sons she taught us continue to resonate throughout our lives. In lieu of fl owers, donations can be made to BC Children’s Hospital. She saw this as such a great charity, as she was always so very thankful for her fi ve healthy grandchil-dren. Thank you to Dr LeGresley, Dr Bull and the staff at Cascade Hospice.The time and place for her celebration of life will be an-nounced shortly. McLean’s Fu-neral Home will be the contact.
