Incinerator not likely says PennerBY PAUL J. [email protected]

Conflict between Fraser Val-ley politicians and MetroVancouver politicians overthe latter’s proposed plan

to build a waste-to-energy garbageincinerator is nothing new.

The conflict also won’t go awayany time soon, but it may simplyfade away given there is no actualproposal for a plant, according toChilliwack-Hope MLA and Attorney

General Barry Penner.“To some extent there is some

shadow-boxing going on herebecause we don’t have a specificproposal,” Penner told the Timeslast week. “Some are projecting theirworse fears about what could beproposed.”

While FVRD chair Patricia Ross,

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz andChilliwack MLA John Les have beenvociferously opposed to incinera-tion of Metro’s garbage in the LowerMainland, because they see it asdamaging to the fragile Fraser Val-ley airshed, Penner has been muchmore diplomatic.

He also thinks incineration oppo-

nents likely don’t have much to wor-ry about since it will probably neverhappen.

“I doubt that we will see one inthe Lower Mainland and I thinkthat is something Metro Vancou-ver doesn’t agree with me on,” hesaid. “But I think the challenge ofpermitting and building such a

facility has been underestimatedby Metro Vancouver.”

But Gaetz said that even thoughthere is no specific proposal on thetable and nothing will happen any-time soon, Environment MinisterTerry Lake had the chance to snuffout the possibility of incineration inthe Lower Mainland and he didn’t.

She also responded to Metro’sexperts defending the safety of mod-ern incineration.

For all the wailing and gnashing of teeth, MLAsays process will likely end plant’s chances

When a thief stole ChrisT h o m p s o n’s w i f e’shandbag out of her carin Yarrow, he or she

picked the wrong target.Since the theft in June, and the

subsequent bank card and cellphoneuse by an as-of-yet unidentified sus-pect, Thompson has embarked ona campaign of digital vigilantismagainst those who may be connect-ed to the alleged thief or thieves.

On June 17, Thompson said hiswife left her vehicle unattended atthe Yarrow Library for a few minutesas she went to see if it was open. Itwasn’t, but in those few minutessomeone stole his wife’s handbagthat she had left on the car seat.

In addition to a number of creditcards, there was a new bank cardthat still had the PIN on it. More than$2,000 was drained from the bankaccount at a gas station and variousstores at Cottonwood Mall.

There were also house keys in thehandbag and, worried they mightfind out where he lives, Thompsonspent $1,000 to change every lock inhis house and a further $4,000, so far,on a security system for his property.

But there was also a pre-paid cell-phone in the handbag, which he didnot cancel, curious to see if the thiefwould use it.

Sure enough, whoever had thephone started web-browing Face-book and made a number of calls,which he tracked.

Thompson called the police andhas tried to help them as much aspossible with tracking the culprit orculprits, but he also set up a websitein an attempt to make public infor-mation connected to the thief.

On www.chilliwackthieves.com,Thompson explained the story,posted the records from the pre-paid phone and did a reverse searchon the numbers. All but two wereunlisted.

For the two names that were list-ed, Thompson posted all informa-tion he could find online about thetwo individuals, mostly taken fromFacebook.

“It’s probably going to cause somestress to whomever is the bad guy,”Thompson said. “I wanted to bringat least some discord to whoeverstole from me.”

He has since taken down theinformation about one woman thealleged thief called, since Thomp-son has determined she is certainlyinnocent and police told him shewas co-operative.

But for the other listed phonenumber called, Thompson hasscoured Facebook pages to find

out information about the womanconnected to the number and hertwo brothers, all of whom are well-known to Chilliwack RCMP and whohave had over 100 court appearanc-es in the last 10 years.

Chilliwack RCMP would not com-ment on the site or what Thompsonhas done other than to say unless heis doing something criminal, he is

free to do whatever he wants.Thompson says he felt little would

be done by the RCMP, not becausethey didn’t want to but because theydidn’t have the resources.

“The RCMP officer handling mycase is a very decent person whoworks hard and tries hard and alwaystakes my calls and responds to me,but I realized that they are simply

understaffed and their resourcesare stretched, and personal safe-ty will always take priority over aproperty-loss situation,” he said.“Cases like mine just go unresolved,and the criminals know it, and thisjust causes them to continue. It is avicious circle.”

University of the Fraser Valleycriminologist Darryl Plecas told theTimes that sites like this can indeedbe effective, but they can be verydangerous.

“All of what he is doing is gratu-itous in a way; he doesn’t have todo this,” Plecas said. “I think thereis a potential for some public safetyissues to come down the road asthere always would be with vigilan-tism.”

Plecas said that despite the ageof the Internet and the ubiquity ofsocial media, this type of onlinevigilantism is relatively new and willlikely increase. Website and socialmedia shaming after the Vancouverriots are only one example.

“The social media thing is becom-ing an increasingly significant thingin crime and responding to crime,”said Plecas.

However, he reiterated that whatThompson has done will likely “domore damage than good,” as is evi-dent by the first woman whose infor-mation was posted on his site, whichhas since been taken down.

But this isn’t the first time Thomp-son has set up a website to stop “badguys.” As a hedge fund manager, afew years ago Thompson said he hadmillions of dollars stolen by operators

“The RCMP officer han-dling my case is a verydecent person who workshard and tries hard andalways takes my calls andresponds to me, but Irealize that they aresimply understaffedand their resources arestretched and personalsafety will always takepriority over a propertyloss situation. Cases likemine just go unresolved,and the criminals knowit, and this causes themto continue. It is a viciouscycle.”

A21-year-old Chilliwack man isfacing charges after abandon-ing a truck in the path of an

oncoming train in Agassiz early onJuly 25.

The man and his 23-year-old pas-senger from Agassiz escaped unin-jured after allegedly jumping fromthe truck seconds before the train

collided with it atthe Cameron Roadand Wells Roadtrain crossing.

Witnesses toldpolice the driverd r o v e a r o u n dflashing and low-ered railway armsand then onto the

railway tracks before the 2:30 a.m.crash.

When police arrived, they foundthe truck on the tracks wedgedunder the front engine of the trainwith its doors ajar.

The Chilliwack man, a new driver,was issued a 90-day driving sus-pension and was also given a ticketfor failing to remain at the scene of

an accident, failing to obey a trafficcontrol device and driving contraryto restrictions.

Police said alcohol was a factor inthe incident and RCMP spokesper-son Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth add-ed that the “foolish stunt” consumed

significant’ resources, includingRCMP, police dog service, emergen-cy health services, fire departmentand CPR personnel.

“This stunt was time consumingfor police as well as CP Rail work-ers,” she said. “It disturbed the trains

from transporting goods which isextremely costly to CPR for having toshut down and repair the tracks.”

Agassiz RCMP are continuing theinvestigation, and more charges maybe laid.

“Metro is trying to pull outall of these scientific experts,the majority of whom workfor incinerator companies orare hired by incinerator com-panies,” she told the Times.“All these people say ‘don’tworry about it, you are goingto be fine.’”

What most galls Gaetz isMetro relying on the testimo-ny of a toxicologist who oncetestified for tobacco compa-nies in the 1990s.

Jim Bridges, a retired pro-fessor of toxicology fromEngland, was brought in asa pro-incineration expert forpublic forums held by MetroVancouver in 2009. In 1995,Bridges questioned a RoyalCollege of Physicians studythat found a connectionbetween smoking and cancer.

In 2009, Surrey Coun. Mar-vin Hunt, who was then chairof Metro Vancouver’s wastemanagement committee, saidBridges was a well-regardedenvironmental health expert.

“Can we really trust themwhen they brought in atobacco lobbyist who tried totell people that second-handsmoke wasn’t dangerous?”Gaetz asked.

They’re coming! Temperatures thatare finally rising in B.C. mean thereturn of mosquitoes. The B.C.

Centre for Disease Control issued awarning Thursday that some of thosedreaded pests may be carrying West NileVirus.

The skeeter population has increasednotably in the Okanagan and the FraserValley, which is why the BCCDC isurging the public to take precautions toavoid mosquito bites that could result inpotentially-fatal West Nile.

Only one person in Canada has testedpositive for West Nile this year but thatindividual is from Ontario and had beentravelling outside of the country.

Dr. Bonnie Henry, a physicianepidemiologist with the BCCDC, saidone person tested positive for West Nilein B.C. last year and five crows testedpositive.

All were from the Central Okanagan.Two people and a horse tested positive

in 2009, all in the southern Okanagan.She said the Culex mosquitoes that

can carry West Nile just started coming

out in the last week.“We’ve seen very high numbers in the

Okanagan and also the Fraser Valley,”said Henry.

She said the BCCDC is also monitoringfor other mosquito-borne diseases likedengue fever, malaria and little-knownchikungunya, with dengue now beingpresent in the Southern U.S.

Malaria was foundin Canada in historicaltimes and Henry saidthat when explorerSimon Fraser made itto the West Coast “hecalled Vancouver amalaria-filled swamp.”

But that malar iaw a s w i p e d o u t i nNorth America andNorthern Europe by acomprehensive mosquito program inthe 1970s.

West Nile is transmitted from birds topeople through mosquito bites.

Although 80 per cent of peopleinfected with the virus will not have anysymptoms, about 20 per cent can reactand experience fever, fatigue, headachesand swollen lymph glands.

But about in about one in 150 cases,the result can be severe illness such asinflammation in and around the brain,or polio-like paralysis and occasionallydeath.

Because of high water levels in theFraser River this year, the Fraser HealthAuthority began monitoring the regionfor mosquitoes earlier this year and

many communitiesbegan using a larvicideagainst the bugs.

Tips to reduce therisk of being bitten bymosquitoes includeremovinganystandingwater where the bugscould breed.

“The mosquitoesthat carry West Nilevirus don’t fly too far

so you’re likely to be bitten by somethingthat grew up in your own backyard,”said Henry.

Other suggestions are to wear long-sleeved clothes with a tightly-wovenfabric and using DEET-based bugrepellents. It’s also wise to avoid beingoutdoors during high mosquito activitytimes — early morning and late at night.

Asingle vehicle crash wiped out power to1,280 homes in Chilliwack last week.

Emergency crews responded to a call atabout 10:30 a.m. on July 28 at Prest Road just

south of Highway 1 where a two-tonne Hinotruck had collided with a hydro pole, knock-ing out power to homes and traffic lights inthe area.

One man was taken to hospital withunknown injuries, according to emergencyresponders at the scene.

BC Hydro restored power to half theaffected homes within an hour, but it tookseveral hours to restore power to the rest ofthe homes.

of a Ponzi scheme.“In around 2005 after some unscrupu-

lous business people tried to cheat me outof a few million dollars, I put up a websiteexposing their integrity,” he said. “Well itdid not take long and they quickly paid meand I took the website down.”

He has since assisted a number of victimsof various Ponzi schemes and other finan-cial frauds.

Thompson said his motivation with thecomparatively minor handbag theft wasto hold those responsible accountable forwhat they did.

“Their callous indifference and lack ofconsideration drove me,” he said. “Youknow, getting money stolen is one thing,but when you later discover some of yourpersonal property that was stolen just indis-criminately discarded at different locationsin the Fraser Valley, there was clearly no

consideration given to me (the victim).”He and his wife actually found the hand-

bag hanging off a fire hydrant in Chilliwackwith some of the contents dumped on theground.

“I imagined that whoever did this wasmore than likely doing the same thing toothers and also getting away with it andthat really bothered me,” Thompson said.“These thieves were leaving a wake ofdestruction and not much seemed to behappening to stop them.”

The tail end of July is tradi-tionally the sleepy seasonfor politics. We can expect

a month off from council meet-ings in most communities. Thenin September and October, likepumpkins ripening in the field, afresh crop of new public hearingsand rezonings will emerge.

Also like pumpkins, some ofthem will turn into black, fester-ing lumps that inspire cries ofhorror.

I’ve been covering councilmeetings from Vancouver toAbbotsford for more than a dozenyears now. I’ve learned that noth-ing, absolutely nothing, inspirespanic, frothing rage, or tears likean unpopular property develop-ment.

They also draw the folks whohave never, ever in their livesdealt with a government bureau-cracy. Suddenly, they are calledupon to make a speech aboutwhy they think a squid-breedingcentre shouldn’t be built next totheir daycare, or how purple andorange stripes might not be thebest paint scheme for those newcondos.

I’m not an elected official, butI’ve been to more public hear-ings than your average mayor orcouncillor. So take my advice forwhat it’s worth.

If you are gearing up to fightfor your neighbourhood, hereare a few arguments not to make.These are the ones that I heartime and again, but which I think

actually do more harm thangood.

• “I paid a lot for this house, andyou can’t do this to my propertyvalues!”

Well, actually they can. A coun-cil’s responsibilities come downto a balancing act between awhole whack of competing goals.Keeping your property values upis only one of them. It’s not thatthe council wants to crush yourproperty values—that woulddepress the taxes they collect!But there is nothing in the oath ofoffice about permanently prop-ping up your condo’s resale value.

• “If you do X, it will turn thisneighbourhood into a ghetto!”

Unless X is an open-pit sewagepond, this is unlikely. The ghettoaccusation (which always makesme think of Elvis warbling abouta poor little baby child beingborn) comes up surprisingly fre-quently.

And hey, maybe whatever X iswill slash the value of your housefrom $600,000 to $500,000. Oh no!Now all the meth addicts will beable to afford to move in!

This claim combines a snob-bish sense of entitlement with a

vicious fear of anyone in a lowerincome tax bracket than thespeaker. It’s a non-starter.

• “I will move if you do this!”The “I’ll take my ball and go

home” argument is usually anempty threat. While I’m certainthat a small percentage of peopleactually do leave because theydon’t like the way things aregoing, I have never seen a forestof For Sale signs sprout up in thewake of a rezoning. Anywhere.Ever. Most people just grumbleand get on with their lives,because the cost of moving faroutweighs simply dealing withwhatever change has been made.

• “People will kill themselves,and it will be your fault!”

Yes, I have seen people blamefuture suicides on developmentplans. Yes, I have seen this onmore than one occasion. No, Ihave never seen follow-up evi-dence.

This claim is so over the top,most listeners will just men-tally shift the speaker over to thecrackpot list.

Finally, one statement that, ifdelivered in a calm tone of voice,might actually work.

• “We’ll remember how youfolks voted on this, when the nextelection comes.”

This works best if you followthrough, donate some money,stay informed, and plant a fewlawn signs come November.◗ Matthew Claxton is a reporterwith the Langley Advance.

There’s nocountingJack outJ

ack Layton’s announcement lastMonday that he is taking “a tem-porary leave” from the positionof Opposition leader in order to

concentrate on fighting a new cancerdiscovered in recent tests did what therecent federal election could not —unitepoliticians of all persuasions in wishinghim well.

Sadly, Layton looked frail and soundedas bad as his party must feel.

After all, party members will be familiarwith his recommendation for interimleader, new Hull-Aylmer MP Nycole Tur-mel, chairwoman of the party’s nationalcaucus. But the rest of the country willnot.

Turmel has big shoes to fill and a partystruggling to catch up to unfamiliar suc-cess. The question was always going to bewhether the NDP could retain and buildon the support it polled in precociousQuebec, from where more than half of itselected strength came three months ago.

That’s a challenge that has bedevilledall federal parties at one time or another,but it was a struggle that Layton, spe-cifically, might have overcome, a manto whom everyday Canadians felt theycould relate—in either language.

Without him, the NDP loses its pub-lic persona, the man who succeeded inbringing gentlemanly manners to theface of socialism.

Still, we would never count Layton out—a fact the Liberals have learned to theircost—and sincerely hope he will be backin September as he promised Monday tocontinue his push to bring the NDP topower “a few short years from now.”

Here is a woman who istrying to take care of herbusiness and trying to livenup the downtown core. Ihave walked by downtownbusinesses with boardedup and broken windows,paint peeling and fading. Itis confusing to me that thisis more acceptable thansomeone who puts a freshcoat of pink paint on theirestablishment.

Who cares if it’s pink? Iquite frankly like what shehas done. It’s not like thewhole place is that colour.It’s clean, it’s fresh and itlooks like she cares aboutwhere she works.

It’s sad that she now hasto pay for another paint jobbecause the city can not getits priorities straight. If thecity cared as much aboutthe downtown appeal asthey claim to, then we wouldnot have as many homelesspeople on the streets.

How about cutting thelocal merchants a break?

Karen and KhrysteneSchorlemer

Decision rottento the coreEditor:

Regarding “City not tickledpink”in the July 28 editon ofthe Times.

Thank you Twyla Johnsonfor showing us that smallbusiness means innovationand a bright future for ourcity.

Thank you City Hall forshowing us that bureaucrat-ic rules are more importantto you than achieving yourstated goals—like revivingthe city centre—or for thatmatter, looking to the futureat all.

Twyla invested her ownmoney and time to brightenup the walls of her businessin our dying downtown. Andlet’s face it folks, downtownChilliwack desperatelyneeds a makeover.

But City Hall is tellingher that her much-praisedcolours don’t match their“heritage” colour guidelinesso they won’t be approvedeven if she pays to ask per-mission to make the down-town more attractive.

There is nothing unpleas-ant in her choice of colours.They are tasteful, bright andfully in character with hershop. I think many citizenswould say, who cares ifCity Hall staff would not be“in support of” her colourchoices? City Hall is sup-posed to be here to supportbusiness, not make it harderon them. Or have the people

in City Hall not read theirown slogans about “a placewhere businesses grow?”

Secondly, “guidelines” donot equal bylaws so, on whatbasis would her applicationbe denied?

To Twyla Johnson, con-gratulations for your imagi-nation and perseverancein hard times. To City Hall,wake up! You are not goingto revive the city core by liv-ing in the past or enforcingpersonal preferences hiddeninside unnecessary “guide-lines.” The city centre will berevived by businesses doingwhat businesses need to doto succeed. Let them do it.

Darrel DuckworthChilliwack

Time to showsome creativityEditor:

Shame! The provincialgovernment has gone aheadwithout concern for theresidents of the Fraser Valleyand approved the plan tobuild a waste incinerator inthe region.

Our MLAs, Barry Pennerand John Les, should befighting the burning of gar-bage and the plan to buildan incineration facility. Theyshould represent the peoplewho live in the valley, thepeople who vote for them,who count on them to rep-resent us and our valley.

When we were concernedabout the SE2 Barry Pennerwas very visible. Where is henow? John Les said the peo-ple in the Fraser Valley arenot interested in incinera-tion. Where is his voice now?Christy Clark has spokenagainst the idea of incinera-tion and should take actionnow. Will she?

We get enough garbageair from the west causingrespiratory problems formany people in the valley.Has a study ever been donein this regard? If not, thenthe MLAs should be stress-ing this and standing in theforefront on this issue.

Our Mayor Sharon Gaetzhas represented the peopleof Chilliwack in statingthat “they have done theirhomework and now call onthe province to do the sameinstead of passing the buck.”I agree.

I have resided in thebeautiful Fraser Valley for48 years. Surely someonecan be more creative andcome up with a much betteridea than to burn garbage.Stop thinking incineratorand start thinking outsidethe box before it becomes adisaster for the valley resi-dents. Let us breathe.

Carol BatemanChilliwack

MLAs must usetheir powersEditor:

When the discussionsfor an incinerator in MetroVancouver were heating upand our Liberal governmentshuffled the cabinet andremoved MLA Barry Penneras being our enviromentminister, the writing was onthe wall.

As Mr. Penner lives in theFraser Valley and has showna strong enviromental pas-sion as he did with the SE2battle, the Metro board, Ibelieve, knew they did notstand much of a chancewith him holding that posi-tion.

Well, now I believe Mr.Penner and Mr. Les (as bothare Liberal reps) will needto show which comes first,the health of the FV airshedand residents of the FraserValley or their political ties.Hopefully they can use theirpoliticaI ties to get this plandefeated.

Doug LawChilliwack

Perceptionversus realityEditor:

I am affirmative to ther-mal waste management.

Smoke stacks used to bea comforting sight. Theymeant jobs, prosperity, workethic, bread on the table andnew shoes for the kids. Weseldom gave much thoughtto what was being emittedfrom those stacks.

Perceptions need not bebased on fact, technologyor health risk assessments.They may be based on fear,conjecture, misinformationor no information at all. Yet

one person’s perceptions ofwhat incineration is and isn’twill be taken into account bythe permitting agencies, thesame as the opinions of thetechnical experts.

Thermal waste manage-ment hasn’t done a very goodjob of providing informationto the community. It has letother “facts” form the basisof people’s perceptions ofreality.Worst of all, thermalwaste management has donea poor job listening today.Throughout the world, high

temperature combustion isused to reduce the volumeand toxicity of hazardouswaste.With responsible man-agement, this technology issafe, effective and reduces theamount of materials sent tolandfills.

Despite being highly stud-ied by technical experts, firesthat reach 2,100 degrees Fahr-enheit and burn greater than99.99 per cent of the materialfed to them, are still poorlyunderstood by the generalpublic.

The first step in a compre-hensive waste management

system is to find innovativeways to eliminate wastegeneration using less hazard-ous materials in productionoperations wherever practi-cal, turning would-be wastesinto raw materials for use ineither the same manufactur-ing process or in a totally dif-ferent process.

The second step is sourcereduction and recycling.

The third step for somewaste, is to reduce the volumeand toxicity through hightemperature combustion.

The final step is disposal.Incineration is one of the

best methods of reducing thevolume and hazard of organichazardous wastes. Throughincineration more than 90per cent of the volume ofthe original waste is typicallyreduced. Any resulting resi-due (ash) is disposed of in asecure landfill.

Matter is neither creatednor destroyed in an incinera-tor. Individual constituentsare converted to more stableforms that are less hazard-ous to human health and theenvironment. In addition, thestable forms are more easilymanaged in an environmen-

tally sound manner.Landfills produce methane,

a potent greenhouse gas, as aresult a landfill’s contributionto global warming is between45 and 115 times greater thanincineration [on a per-tonne-of-waste basis].

An incinerator oper-ated over a 20-year period. Itburned all types of medicalwaste, unmonitored waste,police contraband and courtitems with no pollution con-trol at all. Fly ash would bespewed out on a daily basis.60 metres away was a geneticdairy development operated

by UBC. Across the walkwaywas the same type of geneticarea for swine. The fly ashwould blow all over the freshgardens that feed the patientsand the medical staff of River-view Hospital and the ColonyFarm. The location of thisincinerator was at the westend of the Port Mann Bridge.Nothing has ever been notedabout any ill effects.

Upon review of the statedfacts, I would ask for posi-tive consideration of thermalwaste management.

139th Annual Chilliwack Fair

BY CORNELIA [email protected]

For Frank Blaschek, caring for sheep has beenas much a part of growing up as homeworkand cleaning his room.

The 10-year-old Yarrow kid manhandles his ewelamb, Paxton, like a pro, wrestling her into positionfor a good scrub to get her ready for the ChilliwackFair.

After soaking her witha garden hose, he criss-crosses her back withstreams of neon-yellowSunlight dish detergentand works up a goodlather with both hands inher wet wool.

“I think it’s pretty funmaking a sheep look allnice,” he says.

Frank is in his secondyear with the Chilliwack 4-H Lamb Club and gettingready to compete withtwo lambs, Paxton and amarket lamb named JoeyFullofdoughnuts.

A f t e r s o m e e x t r aattention to Paxton’s“armpits,” legs and hind end, Frank rinses herdown, towels her off with a chamois and leaves herto dry off in the sun.

Later he’ll outfit her with a smart-looking greencoat to keep her from getting dirty before the show.

4-H’ers like Frank have until May 1 to commit toan animal to show during the fair season.

He got five-month-old Paxton, a Dorset bornon Valentine’s Day, on loan from family friendsbecause there weren’t enough ewe lambs in theBlaschek family to go around this year.

His sisters, 12-year-old Kate and 15-year-oldMegan, had dibs on the family ewes.

Next year it will be Frank’s turn to pick first.The Blaschek kids, and especially Frank, have

grown up with sheep, but for their parents—two citykids from Langley who moved to Chilliwack so their

kids would have “room torun around”—sheep werea late and unlooked foraddition.

Just after moving toRosedale (they moved toYarrow a year ago), thecouple got an S.O.S. callfrom family in Barriere,B. C . w h o n e e d e d t oe v a c u a t e 1 0 s h e e pbecause of the massive2003 forest fire that sweptthrough the town.

The 10 ewes arrivedheavily pregnant andthe Blascheks got a crashcourse in lambing.

“ W e d i d n ’ t k n o wanything about sheep at

all other that what she taught us in the week shewas here,” said mom, Emma Blaschek.

When the Barriere relatives picked up their sheepthree months later, they left two ewe lambs, and, atthe suggestion of an education assistant at the kids’

Show time for sheep

“I just can’t say enough about theprogram. It teaches themresponsibility. They’re respon-sible for looking after the animal.They do chores twice a day. Itteaches them where their foodcomes from. They build greatrelationships with other kids, andit teaches them some importantskills, like public speaking.”

139th Annual Chilliwack Fair

elementary school, Frank’solder sisters joined the 4-Hlamb club.

“I just can’t say enoughabout the program,” saysEmma, who is now theleader of the Chilliwack 4-H Lamb Club. “It teachesthem responsibility. They’reresponsible for looking afterthe animal. They do chorestwice a day. It teaches themwhere their food comes from.They build great relationshipswith the other kids, and itteaches them some importantskills, like public speaking.”

The club has become away of life since then, and theBlaschek’s travel to betweenthree to five fairs a yearshowing their sheep.

T h i s we e k e n d t h e y ’ l lcompete on their home turfat the Chilliwack Fair, whichboasts the largest 4-H show inthe province with about 350participants.

Once Frank’s lambs havebeen trimmed, washed, driedand fluffed to perfection, he’llenter them into three separateclasses:

Showmanship, which is allabout the 4-H member’s skillat showing the animal off tobest advantage, includinghandling and cleaning; Ewe,which is about the breedingand confirmation of theanimal; and Market, which isabout how well the 4-H’er hasgotten his or her animal ready

for market.At the end of the show

season, the market lambs areauctioned off at the PNE, andthe majority are destined tobecome chops.

For new 4-H’ers that canbe an emotional experience,but there’s also money to bemade, and Frank is matter-of-fact about the business.

“Some people mind, but Idon’t mind,” he said.

Last year his lamb fetchedthe highest price in the family:$746 (minus about $200 inexpenses).

The attachment to ewelambs is more sentimental,and the bond kids establishwith their animals shows upin the ring, where they haveto lead the lambs around andstand them up for inspectionwith just a hand under theirchin and no halter.

“The big thing is for thechild to work with theirlambs,” says Emma.

One of the things theBlaschek’s mom appreciatesabout 4-H is that it teacheskids healthy competition,including learning how to losegraciously.

It’s a lesson her son seemsto have picked up.

“I f y o u’re s e c o n d o rsomething, you can learnfrom that and what to do nexttime,” he says.

Th e C h i l l i w a c k C h i e f sunveiled their new logo lastThursday, a “refreshed look

for a familiar image,” according tothe organization.

The new logo, designed withthe help of Basecamp Creativeconsultant Dan Mansell, bears astriking resemblance to that of theformer Chiefs organization butfeatures an updated font and newcolours.

“We and the team owners puta lot of thought into the designin an attempt to recapture the

spirit of the former Chiefs clubwhile clearly marking the arrivalof a new generation of BCHLhockey in Chilliwack,” said Chiefspresident Glen Ringdal in a pressrelease last week.

The predominant colours of thenew logo are crimson, gold andwhite—tints that will blend nicelywith the seats in Prospera Centreand lend themselves well toChiefs’ merchandise and apparel,according to Ringdal.

In terms of colour scheme, theChiefs followed the lead of big-

name professional and universityteams, like the WashingtonRedskins and University of DenverPioneers.

Chiefs reveal new hockey logo

Rick Landreville

“It’s like the old logo. It’s good.I actually prefer that logobecause it hearkens back tothe old logo.”

Steven Im

“It looks good. I like thecolours. It’s kind of hot.”

Dave McKay

“I think it looks very standard.”

Michelle Blackwell

“It doesn’t look different to me.It looks the same [as the oldChiefs logo].”

Luke Howard

“It’s like the Redskins, kind of,or like Mohawk gas.”

Tracy Bestland

“It’s OK. It’s not that exciting.To my mind it’s a little bit bor-ing, but it could be worse.”

Tracey Oesch

“I love it. I’m a ChilliwackChiefs fan. I like the design onit.”

Cam Conners

“It’s the same thing as fouryears ago.”

The iconic Chill-Air polar bear has a new home on Yale Road West. It took a crane, a low bed and afew helping hands to get the massive sculpture to its new home.

Chill-Air polar bear makesmove down Yale Road West

The Chill-Air polar bear, a Yale RoadWest icon, migrated a little fartherdown the road as the air conditioning

and heating company moved shop to 44125Yale Road W. recently.

Moving the Chill-Air polar bearwasn’t a simple task and requireda low-bed truck, a crane and afew helping hands. Many thankswent to Mainland Crane and DanSawatzky’s Imagination Corpora-tion, for all their amazing care andattention making the polar bear’smove a successful experience.

The polar bear was at the old locationof Chill-Air for about five years. It weighsapproximately 2,000 pounds and is made of

steel mesh and concrete.Sawatzky is the man behind the creation

of the polar bear, and he says it was theonly creation he has ever dropped, and that

happened during the first move.Sawatzky said he broke all four legsand had to rebuild the polar bear.

Chill-Air provides installationand full service commercial refrig-eration, HVAC (heating, ventilationand air conditioning), ice machines,geo-thermal systems, and hot watertanks.
