Martin blasts Premier for campaignstyle visits to Chilliwack-Hope Robert Freeman The Progress The BC Conservative candidate in Chilliwack-Hope leveled a double-barreled blast Tuesday at Premier Christy Clark and the BC Liberal government. Candidate John Martin took umbrage with Clark’s thwarted visit to a Chilliwack private school during the teachers’ strike, and with her government’s failure to act as another court case in B.C. was stayed for taking too long to come to trial. For good measure, Martin also took a shot at Clark for her failure to call the byelection in Chilliwack-Hope, but in the meantime making another campaignstyle visit to the riding with BC Liberal candidate Laurie Thorness in tow. “If the campaign’s on, let’s announce it and have a level playing field,” Martin said. He said the BC Liberal candidate is “in a spending mode” buying newspaper and billboard advertising, and accompanying the Premier on multiple visits to the riding, yet Clark has yet to announce a byelection date. Clark and Thorness did a campaignstyle walkaround of downtown Agassiz on Feb. 16, with side trips to the Britco plant and the Tycrop plant in Chilliwack. Thorness was also with the Premier in Hope on Monday before she cancelled her visit to the Unity Christian School in Chilliwack when she learned striking teachers were waiting to greet her. Martin said the visit to a non-union school site during a teachers’ strike “was just such a slap in the face of the teachers.” “You don’t go rub peoples’ faces in it when they’re out on the picket line, and you’ve got parents making daycare arrangements,” he said. “The Premier should be above that kind of fighting in the gutter,” he added. “There’s other (staff) to do that.” Continued: LIBERALS/ p8

A group wanting to save the Paramount has been given time to come up with a proposal to stave off the wrecking ball in downtown Chilliwack. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Paramount dodges demolition, for now Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack’s historic Paramount Theatre building has won a reprieve. Council voted Tuesday afternoon to give a hastily formed grass-roots group a bit more time to craft a proposal and business plan to save the building from the wrecking ball. Some councillors said they weren’t holding out much hope but wanted to see what the group would come up with. “I think this is a Hail Mary, frankly,” said Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “We should have had this interest earlier in the

process.” She reminded them there was “no appetite” to put taxpayers’ dollars into it. Coun. Stewart McLean said they needed some sort of “concrete plan” before them. Coun. Ken Huttema said he was surprised by the emotion expressed to save the Paramount, when the same level did not come forward when they were demolishing the Empress Hotel. “This has woken a lot of people up,” he said. He said there were a lot of good ideas being floated. “I just hope they have the deep pockets to go along with that,” he said.

Council’s decision to offer a reprieve came as it was about to vote on a staff recommendation to accept an offer from Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation (CEPCO) to demolish the building on the city’s behalf. “This group is very passionate,” noted Coun. Chuck Stam, and he was the one to move the motion to extend the demolition vote by 90 days. In a Feb. 27 letter to the city, CEPCO said its demolition of the neighbouring “Ewert Building” would cause “irreparable harm” to the Paramount, and that CEPCO would therefore be willing to demolish the Paramount

as well at no cost to the city. That offer prompted an 11thhour plea to save the building and especially the historically significant sign by the “Save the Chilliwack Paramount Theatre working group,” which was given 10 minutes to make its case before council Tuesday afternoon. Mayor Gaetz acknowledged it was an unusual step to allow them to speak. The group, which drew 29 people to a meeting at Decades the night before, were led by Chilliwack residents Sam Waddington and Jim Balakshin. Continued: REPRIEVE/ p13

Victims’ families furious with sex offender sentence Robert Freeman The Progress A Chilliwack man who pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting three young boys in his care was sentenced to 18 months in jail and three years probation Friday by a provincial court judge. Judge Roy Dickey rejected a defence plea for a conditional sentence, referring to a pre-sentence report that indicates the 42-yearold man, despite his remorse and his efforts to rehabilitate himself, remains a risk to re-offend. Dickey also pointed out the accused was in a position of trust with all three victims — as step-

father, uncle and babysitter — and with an earlier victim he assaulted when he was the boy’s hockey coach. “All were carried out when he was in a position of trust,” Dickey said, and the assaults constituted a series of “multiple attacks over a long period of time.” “I am not satisfied that he can (ser ve a conditional sentence) without endangering the safety of the community,” Judge Dickey said. The offender can’t be named because of a court order to protect the identity of the three victims. Those of fenses, which

occurred between 2001 and 2009, involved engaging boys as young as five years old in sex acts, in some cases for years, as the offender had continuing family relationships with them. Outside the court, family members of the victims were furious with the 18-month sentence. “It’s a joke,” one mother said, pointing out that a Stanley Cup rioter recently got 17 months in jail for throwing a newspaper box around. “My son doesn’t trust people now. He doesn’t have friends, he’s a social loner,” she said. “He doesn’t leave the house. He goes to school and comes

home,” she continued. “He’s in a prison that (the offender) made for him ... and he doesn’t know how to get out of it.” The offender claimed he was also sexually abused as a child, and the fear of that “cycle of abuse” and the guilt they suffered, still haunts the victims. “These children, they were robbed of their innocence,” the mother of one victim said. “They were taught to lie. They were taught to lie about everything that put their well-being in danger.” Judge Dickey ordered the offender to have no contact with

the victims or with anyone under age 16. He may have “supervised” contact with his threeyear-old son. During the three-year probation, the offender is to report regularly to a probation officer and may not attend any public place, including parks, playgrounds and daycare facilities, where the presence of persons under age 17 may reasonably be expected, unless he is accompanied by an approved adult. The offender must also enter sex offender treatment programs, as well as counselling for drug and alcohol abuse. rfreeman@theprogress.com

Gaming centre construction gets going Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The walls are going up on the new gaming centre in Chilliwack. In fact, it should be ready to go early in the first quarter of 2013, said Howard Blank, Great Canadian Gaming Corporation. The Great Canadian spokesman was updating a Chilliwack Rotary club crowd on the status of the Chilliwack project Friday at the Best Western Rainbow Country Inn. “We’re excited,” said Blank. They’re still not sure if it will be a Chances community gaming centre, or if they’ll go with a different type of branding. Construction is under way at the site on Olds Drive near the Chilliwack airport, now that the site preparation is complete. It could take a year to 18 months to complete construction, he said. The new 28,000 square-foot gaming facility will feature 150 slot machines, paper and electronic bingo and other games, as well as live acts, licensed dining and community spaces. The “vibrant” facility will have parking for 300 with a cur ved driveway near the entrance, wood accents, red carpeting and a water feature inside, he said. “We know gaming but we don’t know Chilliwack,” said Blank. Great Canadian of ficials spent 10 days going to different dining rooms and restaurants in Chilliwack to survey the scene, local tastes, and provide some ideas for the new gaming centre’s 100-seat restaurant and outdoor patio. Someone from the audience wanted to know if Great Canadian was likely to have a “rival” in the form of a new casino opening anytime soon on nearby First Nations land. “I don’t think so,” Blank

Crews watch as a concrete wall is raised during the tilt-up phase of construction at the new gaming centre on Olds Drive in Chilliwack. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

replied. A casino applicant has to meet a stringent set of demands, and things are “pretty saturated” in that sense, he said. The $10 million acquisition of Chilliwack Bingo Association assets last year by Great Canadian, included the property, as well as future “trailing payments” to local charities, “subject to facility

performance,” he underlined. Someone in the crowd asked if the publicly traded company’s shares paid dividends, and the answer was that they do not. Another audience member asked if the trailing payments would be smaller than what they received the past. The trailing payments, which were part of the sale, are com-

pletely separate from the gaming grants received by charities from government, clarified Blank. Where a staff of 35 currently works at the existing Chilliwack Bingo Hall, the staff at the new gaming facility will grow to 70 or 75 when it opens, he said. “So that’s 40 new jobs we’ll be bringing,” he said.

Heads-up hockey warning from RCMP Go Chiefs! But Chilliwack RCMP are warning hockey fans to lock their vehicles and leave their valuables at home when they come to watch the hometown hockey team this weekend. The Prospera Centre, where the Chiefs are playing two home games this weekend, has been identified by the RCMP as a crime “hot spot” in the past couple of months due to the concentration of crimes “specifically relating to vehicles,” Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said in a news release. “We would like to remind people to always lock their vehicle and never leave valuable items or garage door openers in their vehicles,” she said. “This alone will help deter thieves, as thefts from vehicles are primarily crimes of opportunity.” RCMP Auxiliary officers will be on hand for both Chiefs games, she added, patrolling the Prospera parking lot and making sure vehicles are locked and owners informed about how to prevent auto-related crime. ICBC officials and members of the SAFER City group will also be at the Prospera Centre to promote March as Auto Theft Awareness month, and to provide the community with helpful information on how they can help deter criminals in the area.

Flooded farmers worried about Fraser spring freshet Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The time has come to fix a berm that gave way in Chilliwack last spring, causing localized flooding and crop

losses, according to one Chilliwack farmer. Hazelnut tree farmer John Van Den Brink said he’s even more anxious than ever to get a river bank repaired to save

properties like his, not protected by the city’s diking system, from spring freshet. “In the 30 years I’ve lived here, this is the first year it could be rocked,” said Van Den

Brink. At issue is an orphaned berm built in a emergency flooding situation more than 15 years ago near Carey Point. It has never been

maintained or claimed by any level of government in the years since it was rip-rapped, which has been a sore spot in the discussions. When the berm failed during an unusu-

ally prolonged highwater episode last summer, about 15 Chilliwack properties were inundated by the Fraser River. The city’s position, at the time of the flood-

ing and seepage, has been that the affected property owners would have to cover any flood or erosion costs themselves, although they did facilitate the sand-bagging of some affected homes. But now more than a dozen affected property owners were set to attend a meeting with city officials set for Wednesday night to discuss preparations for this year’s spring freshet. There’s actually some “nice gravel” visible now at the site for at least 25 feet down the bank, Van Den Brink said. “Fifteen years ago there was a scour hole here and there was no way you could rock it.” Now is the time to do something, he said. He lost 400 out of 5,000 trees so far. About a quarter of those remaining on his property are still superstressed, and might have to be ripped out. “Our trees took a real beating,” he said. Normally he’d have bought more than eight tonnes of fertilizer by now, but he’s waiting to see what will happen. “Do I really want to do that if it’s going to flood again?” he asked. With plans being made by city officials now for this year’s freshet, some of the farmers and owners are worried it will flood again if nothing is done to prevent it. “That berm washed away,” said Hanne Van Den Brink. “So the water doesn’t even have to come up as high as it did last year.” They don’t know what they’ll do if it happens again, she said, but they have been talking about building some type of protective structure themselves. “We’ll be bringing that up at the meeting,” she said. Affected Chilliwack property owners were expected to go over freshet plans with city officials on March 7 at 7 p.m. at Camp River Hall. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

A renewed call this week for elected senators by the BC Liberals is just “political posturing” on the eve of a byelection in Chilliwack-Hope, says the NDP. But Chilliwack MLA John Les, who re-introduced the private member’s bill, said it’s unlikely the senate will be abolished as advocated by the New Democrats, “so why not try to improve it as much as we can.” “I think British Columbians will enjoy having access to a democratic process,” he said, instead of the current appointment process that’s vulnerable to political manipulation. He said the bill, called the Senate Nominee Election Act, is an “improved” version of an earlier bill that did not come to a vote last year in the legislature. The new version divides the province into six electoral districts, so not all the nominees will come from the Lower Mainland area, and it allows for electronic voting for convenience and to keep costs down. Les said he’s also inserted a “sunset clause” in the bill, which will make it expire in eight years “if there’s no progress in fixing the imbalance of B.C.’s representation in the senate.” “If that imbalance is going to continue, then we don’t want to continue dignifying it with the election of senators,” he said. B.C. currently has six senators based on about 685,000 residents per senator, while New Brunswick has 10 senators with a per-senator population of only 73,000. Even Newfoundland and Labrador, with a per-senator population of only 84,244, has just as many senators as B.C. But NDP House Leader John Horgan questioned the motives behind the bill.

“If the Liberal government actually wanted to introduce senate elections in B.C., surely they would have brought forward a government-sponsored bill to make it happen,” he said. “Instead, the MLA representing Chilliwack re-introduced his bill that failed to pass under Christy Clark’s leadership last session,” he said. “It is particularly telling,” Horgan added, “that the Conservative MP for Chilliwack came out immediately in support of the bill, along with a Conservative senator from B.C., and ministers in Stephen Harper’s Conservative government.” “The BC Liberals are trying to bolster their credibility in preparation for calling a byelection in ChilliwackHope,” he charged. Horgan said the NDP will not support the bill. Les said he hopes the bill will be passed during the spring session, and, if approved, could be implemented when Senator Gerry St. Germain retires later this year.

said. Finally, Mar tin criticized the “Christy Clark Liberal catchand-release justice system” that he said simply encourages criminals to continue their illegal activities. Dr ug charges against two Chinese immigrants were stayed by a provincial court judge in Kelowna on Feb. 14 after it took 33 months for the case to come to trial. Judge Robin Smith said 23 months of the delay were in “no way attributed to the accused,” but to a lack of court resources. “This is a sad state of affairs for the judicial system, and not one that will be fully resolved by the recent judicial appointment,” Smith said in his reasons for judgment. “There would need to be an increase in the number of judges in order for that to happen, as opposed to simply a replacement of retiring judges.” “Otherwise, the status quo is likely to continue,” he said. Mar tin said the case was thrown out “because of the Liberal government’s negligence of the justice system.” “It needs to be stressed that when we talk about (judicial stays) that it’s not just a one-off, that this has become a regular occurrence, “ he said, with more than 2,500 cases in B.C. inching toward the 18-month range where judicial stays must be considered. “If you can’t get a court case through the system within 18 months, there’s an ever-increasing likelihood it’s going to be dismissed,” Mar tin said.

Master Your Money

The New Wealth Secret A true story of an unlikely underdog who mastered the money game Have you ever felt an uncomfortable silence when someone starts getting too personal about money? Why is that? I find it odd that people share their most intimate details with friends and strangers on Facebook, yet completely clam up when the subject of money comes up. Like it or not, money is what makes our society click. Canadians enjoy one of the highest qualities of life in the world, and money is a big part of the reason why.

about money. But Rob did approach him - and Frank told him Money is ALL about leverage. Frank then went on and shared with Rob one of the greatest lessons he had ever learned. When your money makes more money for you than your job does... then you are well on your way to financial freedom. If you make $20 an hour at your job - true financial independence begins when the money you invest is making

My name is Darren Weeks and I am one of the fortunate few who LOVES to talk about money. More specifically, I love to talk about the fundamentals that help people create and protect their wealth. Real independence comes when you learn how to make money work for you. Money knowledge needs to be at your side in all situations... like a trusted friend who does nice things for you on a regular basis.

When you understand the rules of the game...the money will find you! My company, the Fast Track Group, has been ranked among Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies for two straight years now. Last year, we finished 40th on PROFIT Magazine’s list. In 10 years, I have taken it from 5 employees in one tiny office, to over 100 employees and 14 offices. More than 350,000 Canadians have now attended Fast Track events. All our success has enabled us to support people that inspire us. The Fast Track Group is the title sponsor of Canada’s Luge team and we support them to the tune of over $1 million per year. On top of providing FREE financial education to all Canadians, my company is able to offer better returns and tax savings to our investors thanks to our partnerships with multinational Companies. We are not some “fly-by-night corporation.” My greatest pride in all of this? Seeing my clients, students and peers succeeding and thriving in the current economy. Rob Chaulk came to one of my events in the Spring of 2008. He grew up in a family with a poor dad, and a rich dad (his uncle). So Rob had been given a good start on his money education. But it wasn’t enough. Rob was a hard worker that knew his job wasn’t going to make life any easier. He held careers in the energy and industrial sector. He dabbled in some businesses along the way in the restaurant and towing business. When Rob read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki, he took it seriously and within 30 days he bought his first rental property. He was hooked. He put together a plan for 10 properties in 10 years... his key to retirement. Right around this same time he had lunch with his rich dad (his multi-millionaire uncle). Not exactly an easy guy to talk to, his uncle “Frank” was self-made and not easy to approach

Which of these would you like to put a permanent end to? • Constantly checking your bank balance to make sure there is enough left over to cover the monthly bills. • Worrying about how you will EVER get out of the rut and finally be able to start relaxing about money. • Arguing with your spouse about money and the challenges that come with a lack of it. • Dreaming about that vacation you have always wanted and needed, yet knowing it will never happen at the rate you are going now. • The fear that your children will be just as bad with their money as you have been. • Fretting over those unexpected expenses that come in – knowing full well you have to do a lot of shuffling to scrape together enough to cover them off. • The jealousy you feel when someone you know ends up doing well financially, knowing FULL WELL you are smarter than they are.

Give us 3 hours of your time and we’ll give you powerful strategies that are guaranteed to change your life. Rob Chaulk

you $25 an hour, without you having to do anything more. Frank showed him how to turn his rental property into 10 properties in just 12 months. Rob Met Darren Rob then came to a Get Rich in Canada event, hosted by myself... and was able to create a $4 million dollar property portfolio in just 24 months. As Rob says “Money is just the scorecard. When you understand the rules of the game - and how the game works - the money will find you! Now it’s my turn to pass on my knowledge and experience.” While he was building his portfolio of properties, Rob also took his health very seriously. Rob was overweight, had sleep apnea and was sluggish every waking hour. After dropping over 100 pounds Rob found a new lifestyle that had been long lost, and a money mindset that continues to help him and his family with all of the retirement and dreams. Is it your turn to master the money mindset? I am proud to share that my system has worked for everyone who aggressively applied it. You could be the one with a large real estate portfolio and a business or two that runs without you. ...Many people are broke, and will stay that way for the rest of their life. My company has organized an event coming up in your city and I would like you to join us. There is no cost to attend. My team is here to make sure you get the tools you need for creating the independence you crave.

Find out how to get out of bad debt and into wise investments. Discover how anyone, no matter how dire their circumstances, can go from rags to riches in 5 years or less. My students and business partners are prime examples of how you can start with nothing and build a very healthy investment portfolio and business in 5 years or less. The best part? We don’t just show you what to do... you get the formula to go as fast as you like, and can handle. Most seminars share the what – not the how. We show you both with specific examples, formulas and resources to get you there on your own pace. Don’t go it alone! Bring a friend or family

member with you and enjoy the journey to wealth as a team. When you reserve your seat at this event, just mention who you want to bring and we will also give you a CD that sells for $39.95. Nothing good is ever FREE... right? Wrong. I know you may be sceptical because we aren’t charging you for this event. Think about this. Rob started off at a free event just like this. He heard about an event just like this put on by my company. He attended and absorbed every ounce of information shared, and took MASSIVE ACTION. He is now financially independent and able to live life on his own terms. What should you do next? Pick up your phone and dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.ChilliwackGetRich.com and reserve your seat there. Find one or more friends or family members who want out of the rat race like you do... and get them a seat booked as well. Last? Don’t let anyone discourage you or get in your way. Real independence starts when you learn to ignore all the negative people in your life who don’t want you to succeed. Make sure you show up, take lots of notes, and immediately start putting these ideas into action. If a completely unknown individual can be in the same situation you are and become financially independent in 5 years or less... why can’t you? This is the real deal and I have gone from $0 to $100 million in revenues in just 10 years using these strategies... my students are proof that my techniques work everywhere, for anyone who is willing to take action.

R AESIDE

No winners in dispute The full-scale strike this week by B.C. teachers was inevitable. After essentially working to rule for months while the government dug in its heels on its “net zero” wage freeze mandate, tensions finally reached the boiling point. And the teachers were walking the sidewalks on a cold, rainy Monday morning instead of imparting the Three Rs in warm, dry classrooms. Working parents, accustomed to the workaday routine of carting their kids off to school while they went to their jobs, were left scrambling for alternative care and activities to keep them occupied. That the labour dispute was allowed to reach this stage is a gamble by both sides. The BC Teachers Federation says the strategy it had been employing since the beginning of the school year created little disruption on learning or the daily routines of school kids and their families while still allowing its 41,000 members to make their point. By escalating their job action to a province-wide walkout, teachers are hoping they’ll be able to drive home their stand that years of government cutbacks to education funding have strangled their ability to educate effectively. The government, by introducing legislation that would impose its own mediator to settle the dispute once and for all and force the teachers back to their desks, is gambling the voting public is fed up with the teachers. Letting the teachers cool their heels outside for a few days, causing great disruption to students and their parents, may only feed that impression. While most high-stakes gambits have a winner and loser, this one only has losers. Students lost three valuable days of learning. Parents lost sleep, and likely a few bucks, organizing alternative care. Teachers lost income and risk losing support. The government risks losing understanding for its hard-line stance. ~ Black Press

Left-wing ‘group think’ in the classroom VICTORIA – Perhaps the single most ridiculous stunt in the lead-up to this week’s teachers’ strike was pulled at an elementary school here in the capital. A teacher gave her Grade 1 class an assignment for anti-bullying day: take crayons in hand and write to Education Minister George Abbott, demanding he stop bullying their teacher and address class size and composition. This North Korea-style political indoctrination of six-year-olds was a mistake, according to the local teachers’ union boss, who vaguely indicated that the unnamed teacher would apologize to parents. Is this self-serving abuse of teacher authority an isolated incident? My experience as a parent and journalist suggests it is not, and recent events support that. By Friday, students across B.C. were skipping class in solidarity with their teachers, led by budding cam-

pus radicals suddenly conversant with B.C. Teachers’ Federation talking points about “Bill 22.” This left-wing groupthink pervades the education system from public schools through taxpayersupported colleges and universities. After a couple of generations of this indoctrination, almost everyone “knows” that government underfunding is at the Tom heart of ever y FLETCHER school problem, standardized testing is an assault on the fragile selfesteem of students, and reducing class size is the top priority for improving educational outcomes. All of this is glaringly false union propaganda, reinforced in classroom “current affairs” discussions.

Don’t believe me? Google “Study: Class size doesn’t matter” for the latest on a growing stack of scientific evidence that shows you and your children are being force-fed lies. B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Susan Lambert announced the strike on live TV with a remarkable string of rhetoric about the “Orwellian” legislation that will soon put an end to this teacher tantrum. The government needs to negotiate “clearly, rationally and respectfully,” said the boss of union representatives who have spent the last year insulting the taxpayers’ negotiators by telling them to “go back to your masters” and get a couple of billion more. Clearly? It was the BCTF that announced its work-to-rule plan for the fall and then took the summer off. It was the BCTF that didn’t even present its outrageous 16-percent wage demand until January, a

full 10 months after formal negotiations began, and accompanied it with a false costing. Orwellian? At a sparsely attended rally on the legislature lawn, local teachers’ unions marched out their most strident tame trustee to demand the government “come to the table” with billions. One teacher in the crowd held up a large sign adorned with three mug shots: Premier Christy Clark, ex-premier Gordon Campbell and Benito Mussolini, to illustrate a multiplechoice question about “fascism.” This teacher should be assigned to write an essay about the Italian dictator’s formative years, and his schooling in particular. In Vancouver, a protesting teacher got big media play, holding up a sign proclaiming that “it’s not about a wage increase, it’s about classroom conditions.” This too is a lie. The BCTF trotted out its standard “children first”

rhetoric, then tabled its breathtakingly out-of-touch benefit demands. It doesn’t take a math teacher to see what its $2 billion wage and benefit fantasy would actually do to classroom conditions. For his part, Abbott started out pretty keen about students and parents heading down to occupy their local school and replace striking teachers with volunteers for a couple of days. But he changed his tune after the support staff union started grumbling about parents colouring too close to their craft lines. One fight at a time, I guess. The next one will be over teacher performance assessment and the choke-hold of union seniority on school jobs.

The Paramount: Let’s get creative The future of the Chilliwack Paramount Theatre is indeed a complicated issue. The building is in need of costly upgrade and being a purpose built facility, will require great imagination and creativity to envision any potential adaptive reuse. How does a community place a dollar value on artifacts of heritage and significant cultural value? The social health and stability of a community is tied to its sense of itself, and its history. Our past provides us with a touchstone to where we have come from and where we might be going. It is reassuring to us all to see vestiges of this past. It provides a sense of permanence in a world with ever increasing rates of change. A community that embraces within its urban fabric, both elements of the past and the future is richer. The Paramount is not only a fine example of late-modernist Architecture, but of a Post-war cultural movement that saw iconic structures such as the Paramount, rising in communities across North America. It a member of a family of bold and modern structures that pointed to an optimistic, boundless future. Something that North America needed after years of war. In Canada, and in particularly in

British Columbia, our Architectural Heritage is fragile. The age of our built environment means that unlike European Cities we do not have a large stock of historic buildings, and many that have survived were built of wood frame construction which has suffered the ravages of time and our weather. The Paramount Theatre represents for its age, a robust building of cast-in-place concrete and steel. It certainly is in need of upgrade to address issues of accessibility, building envelope and HVAC, but it has ‘good bones’ and the potential to continue providing meaningful heritage to our community. Perhaps one of the most difficult challenges in the reuse of any building like the Paramount Theatre, is that it is a purpose built facility designed to accommodate motion picture audiences. There are many examples of other communities that have risen to this challenge and found new uses for historic buildings. In London England, a power station has been converted to a successful art museum. In Paris a railway station has also been converted to an art museum. In Halifax a period church has been converted to residential condominiums. Closer to home Chilliwack’s Fire Hall No One, now houses busi-

nesses which include the street front home of the Downtown BIA. Such reuse of historic and culturally significant buildings provides for a urban fabric that is richer, and also relevant to its citizens. The City of Chilliwack’s Downtown Task Force has recommended that the City take a more active role in future development. A role that would see land assembly, and possibly assembly and caretaking of culturally significant buildings, while aggressively pursuing innovative development that is inclusive of our past. The gift of the Paramount to the City of Chilliwack by Landmark Cinemas can be seen both as a burden, and also as the gift of an opportunity to do something unique, by incorporating a significant part of our past into a redevelopment scheme; ultimately making a richer and more diverse end product. As we wait for the right development and reuse solution, temporary uses may be found for the Paramount. Our downtown doesn’t really need more voids in its urban form that resemble the missing teeth in it’s once smiling face.

Teacher grateful for public support I am a teacher. I am currently on strike to defend public education in our town and around the province. I am writing this letter to express the gratitude my colleagues and I felt for the support we received from the public on this miserable rainy, windy day. It was a day to quite literally dampen the spirits. And yet, while walking our information lines and huddling under tents, we continually received affirmation that what we are doing is the right thing to do; that it is respected; that it is appreciated. Thank you so much to each and every Chilliwack resident who nodded, waved, and honked to show their support for us, for the job we do, and for the stand

we are taking. This government has perhaps miscalculated the situation. They seemed to believe that the public would be so upset by teachers’ strike action that we would receive no support. I heard the message spun out that daycare issues would be so inconvenient that the public would be angry. But, I witnessed an awful lot of cars driving by with school-age children in the back and their parents, grandparents, and caregivers were honking and waving enthusiastically. That warms the heart on a cold day like today. Supporters of public education know that it is not daycare; it is about knowledge, about learning from the mistakes of

our past, and about opportunities for the future. And let’s remember that a great many teachers are also parents. I had to make plans for the care of my children today, too (thank you, thank you, thank you grandparents). So did my colleagues. Oh, yes, and thanks also to the one curmudgeon who drove up to my information line to express displeasure with us. Although you made it quite clear you were not a supporter and stated how gladly you would curtail my rights to a legal strike, I wish to say politely again, “Thanks for your opinion.” You see, I would not trample your rights as you would mine. We should both be able to express our

opinions. We don’t have to agree. But, if it was vital that we come to some form of agreement, I suppose someone truly neutral could mediate our discussions…. At any rate, if you are one of those citizens who supported teachers today, I hope that you will consider drafting a letter or e-mail to tell our government how and why you are supporting us. Encourage them to negotiate rather than legislate. Encourage them to restore the damage they’ve done in the last ten years. It isn’t too late. Your voices need to be heard. Thank you once more.

Paramount wins a reprieve REPRIEVE from Front They called on council to delay a demolition decision until more community consultation and a “more reasonable time frame” could be established, along with a viable plan. They also raised questions about the alleged underground contamination and whether it had in fact spread to under the Paramount building. Architect Andrew Ward offered his view on the “unique” cultural heritage and historical merit of the building and particularly the fluted panels of the faceted sign, which he characterized as having “a place in the hearts of the people.” The detail of the sign “recalls the arrival of modernism,” he said, “tempered by final days of the Art Deco movement.” When it came time for the vote, council referred the matter back to staff to come up with a new proposal

process. “You can all go home and breathe for another 90 days,” said the mayor to the group after councillors voted unanimously to extend the deadline. She warned them to get legal help if they intended on embarking on any large-scale fundraising. “This is a confirmation that more consultation was needed,” said Balakshin after the meeting. The best outcome after the three-month reprieve would be “a viable business plan,” he said. A worse case scenario might be finding a way to save the sign. “They’re a little behind, but perhaps these guys have the silver bullet. We’ll have to see,” added Mayor Gaetz.

Fitness

How to improve your mental toughness Last week, one of my clients told me about a training exercise he did while in the military. The training exercise was 48 hours of straight physical and mental effort, including marathon distance hikes and runs, climbing, shooting, and swimming across rivers. With no time for sleep, push through extreme fatigue in order to complete the challenge. If he had never done it, he admits he wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe he could do it. Since he did it, he now knows that he can. While the military might be an extreme example of pushing the limits, the principals applied in this type of training describe another reason we civilians should workout. Becoming faster, stronger and fitter means pushing yourselfand that can be uncomfortable.

Pushing through boundaries not only strengthens the body, it also strengthens the mind. Being mentally tough during a workout and pushing yourself is excellent practice for tackling challenges and overcoming obstacles in other aspects of life. My husband is Tanja a good example SHAW of using a workout to exercise mental toughness. He doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t love exercise. He might rather not exercise at all. He knows that overcoming the intense urge to not workout, and pushing past the boundaries of comfort during a workout, makes him a stronger person. Because he

practices mental toughness on a relatively regular basis, he is better equipped to take on challenges at work. To improve your mental toughness (and fitness level) pushing yourself during a workout is key. Here are three ways to challenge yourself in a workout: Time your run or bike. Map a route on an appropriate running or walking distance for your fitness level. Time how long it takes to complete that route. Record your score. Test yourself one or two weeks. Push yourself to improve your time. Do your workouts by time. For example, set your timer for 30 seconds and do as many push-ups as you can in 30 seconds. Record your score, break for 15 seconds and repeat. Try to improve your score.

Add 1-2 reps to your strength routine. If you usually do 10 reps, try to push to do 11 or 12. If you lose your form, take a break. Life is full of challengeswhether you are raising a family, operating a business or enduring the daily grind at work. Know that by pushing through that last repetition, or picking up the pace for your run interval, you are improving your ability to take on the demands of day to day life. And hey, having a fit and toned body in addition to a strong mind is nice too!

uring the Second World War, Poland suffered tremendous economic losses. The Soviet Red Army liberated the country and the support that the Soviet Union had shown meant that the left gained the upper hand in the new Polish government. Poland was under Soviet control, both directly and indirectly. Life was hard and there were many economic and social inequities. There was no doubt that having grown up in this reality, Tad and Barbara Kasprzak needed to leave their native country in search of stability and prosperity. The couple immigrated to Canada and they were able to enjoy a higher standard of living. Ana “My father worked at GF MACEDO Strong Rehabilitation Centre in Vancouver,” said a quiet spoken and elegant Sabina Kasprzak. “Rick Hansen was one of his patients.” While living here, the Kasprzak’s had four beautiful daughters; Sabina and her identical twin sister Magdalena, Krystyna and Iza. Let’s fast forward to August 31, 1980. The young family was enjoying life in Canada while the Solidarity movement was emerging in Gdansk, Poland. The communist government in Poland signed an agreement allowing for its existence and less than a month later, over 20 committees of free trade unions merged at the congress into one national organization. In 1981, the Polish government attempted to destroy the union with martial law and several years of repression, but in the end, it had to start negotiating with the union. This changed the landscape in that country and the Kasprzaks Continued: FLARE/ p20

Sabina Kasprzak is passionate about fashion and creates her own designs. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Combining fashion flare with environmental communications FLARE from p18 believed that the renewal would translate to a more prosperous Poland. So, they moved back. “Two of my sisters, Ania and Marysia, were born over in Poland. Before moving back there, my parents thought that the political system had changed but after living there for nine years they realized that it really hadn’t,” she said. So, the family packed up their belongings and returned to Canada. It was while the family was living in Poland that Sabina discovered and fell in love with the world of high-end European fashion. “Ever since then a part of my life has been dedicated to design,” she said enthusiastically. The educational system in Poland is quite rigorous but Sabina easily excelled at school. When she returned to Canada at the age of 17, school was not an issue, although she was forced to enroll in Grade 11 to ensure that her English was up to par.

“The funny thing is that while the concern had been about our English, I was the one editing my friend’s essays,” she laughed. It was during this time that Sabina took her first sewing class and in Grade 12, she won a gold medal at a regional fashion design skills competition. Following high school, she attended the University of the Fraser Valley and after the two year program received a diploma in Fashion Design. In 2001, she qualified in the Smirnoff Fashion Awards International Competition in Toronto and later that year, received the “Most Creative Designer of the Year Award” for her graduation collection titled ‘Style of Edge’. Although fashion was her first love, Sabina decided to take a detour in her professional career and went on to earn a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communication from Trinity Western University. “I have continued to dabble in fashion design and in 2005 and 2009 I qualified as a semi-finalist at the Oskary Fashion

Awards Competition in Warsaw, Poland,” she noted. With her communication degree in hand, she landed a position in the Environmental Services Department at the Fraser Valley Regional District. “They asked me to come back when I finished university and in 2007 I was hired in my current position as the Environmental Services Project Coordinator and Communications Specialist. My job does take a lot of time but I thoroughly enjoy it. There is so much more to communication than just words. I like using colour and creativity to deliver my message,” she explained, showing me recent campaigns’ that she has worked on. In her spare time, Sabina enjoys sports and exercise and has been working in the area of youth ministry at St. Mary’s Church. “I’m taking some time off from the youth ministry work so that I can concentrate on my fashion design. I write a fashion blog and have my own website which is www.ladey. ca,” she concluded.

acidic soil is an understatement. It is also important to choose a location that is rich in organic matter, but be careful to avoid manures. There are genetic dwarf, low bush and high bush varieties of blueberry plants, so they can fit into almost any garden area. Don’t hesitate to blend them in with other acid-loving broad-leaved plants like rhododendrons, Pieris japonica or Viburnum tinus. Treat your blueberry plants more as ornamentals rather than small fruits, and use them as part of your landscaping. One plant by itself looks out

of place, but a grouping of three or five, placed close together, blends nicely into any planting. For a real novelty, try a true dwarf variety called ‘Top Hat’. This compact strain seldom grows over 18 inches high and is well suited to bonsai pots. Granted, its flavour is not quite the same as some of the commercial varieties, but its fruit still tastes good on cereal or over ice cream. A more flavourful low variety is the cute little ‘Brunswick’ that only grows six to eight inches high and two feet wide and is quite at home planted

If you love blueberries for their wonderful flavour, eat lots and keep eating them because they are one of the best natural health foods we have. At the USDA Human Nutrition Center, they have determined that when compared to 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables, blueberries are number one in antioxidant activity. In other words, they help neutralize harmful byproducts of metabolism called ‘free radicals’ which can lead to cancer and many agerelated diseases. Anthocyanin, the pigment that creates the blue colour in blueberries, is primarily responsible for the major health benefits. But there’s more! Researchers at Rutgers University in New Jersey have found a compound in blueberries that promotes urinary tract health and reduces the risk of infection. European and Japanese scientists have documented the relationship between anthocyanin and improved eyesight and the easing of eye fatigue. The American Chemical Society has released information about a substance in blueberries, called pterostilbene, which has the potential to lower cholesterol. Further USDA research has also found that various compounds in vacciniums are helpful in reducing obesity and heart disease. There is a great deal of research now taking place on the many health benefits of blueberries, but if you eat about a cup a day, you just might be the beneficiary of all kinds of good stuff. Blueberry plants are just now available in garden stores and it’s a great time to plant. Blueberries are one of the easiest plants to grow. In spite of all you’ve heard about pollination, blueberries are technically self-fertile. Production, however, is far better if two or more different varieties are planted. To say blueberries love

in a bed of heathers or dwarf conifers. Most blueberry varieties fall into early, mid or late season classifications. With our ideal growing area, I recommend planting one of each type to prolong the harvest period. Now you can stretch the season ever further by planting the extra early variety called ‘Spartan’ and the extra late one called ‘Elliot’. If you’re hung up on really big berries, then the largest in the world are the ‘Darrow’ and ‘Chandler’. Now is a great time to plant blueberries because you will often get a few berries the first year on some of the more mature plants. Blueberries are truly a wonderful addition to any garden and one of the very best health foods in the world!

New Residential Construction Guide Benefits Homeowners and Builders Homeowners have a new tool at their fingertipss to help them better understand how warranty providers evaluate claims for possible design, labour or material defects in new homes. The Residential Construction Performance Guide is the newest online resource available on the provincial Homeowner Protection Office website at www.hpo.bc.ca. It explains how homes covered by home warranty insurance should perform. Every new home built for sale by a licensed residential builder in B.C. is protected by mandatory third-party home warranty insurance. It’s the strongest system of construction defect insurance in Canada. “For most consumers, buying a new home is one of the largest financial investments they will make. So it’s essential that homebuyers can make that investment with confidence, knowing that they will not be faced with additional expenses to repair defects after they move in,” said Tony Gioventu, executive director of the Condominium Home Owners’ Association and an advocate for consumer protection. This simple, practical guide is easy to use. It outlines more than 200 possible defects that are searchable online. This includes the most common defect claims that might be submitted under a home warranty insurance policy – from windows that malfunction, to driveway or interior concrete floors that have cracked, to siding that has buckled. Designed primarily for conventional low-rise, wood-frame homes, the guide also provides some helpful guidelines for the common property of multi-unit buildings. Builders can also use the guide to help ensure that they deliver high performance homes.

Emcee Leeann Keple is known across Western Canada for performances with the Laff Riot Girls, the longest running independent stand-up comedy troupe in Western Canada. “My humour is like a nice glass of B.C. red wine, warm and inviting notes to start, occasional spiciness on the tongue, a faint aroma of tobacco and leather, with a clean finish and lingering thoughts of – did she really just say that? – that will last into the next week. “Once I’m uncorked, it’s hard to bottle me up, but the good news is I pair well with everything.” Keple said.

Mitch Gillam (left) was a busy guy in the Chilliwack net, stopping 47 of 49 pucks Tuesday night in a 4-2 win over the Vernon Vipers. Chilliwack clinched a playoff spot with the win while knocking Vernon out of postseason. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

for the game. Hills was part of an awkward collision in front of the Vernon net and was crawling towards the Chilliwack bench when the whistle blew. The New York native was helped to the dressing room putting minimal weight on his left leg. Things looked a little better a couple minutes later when David Thompson one-timed a point shot through traffic and past Halcrow for his ninth. Vernon was in full desperation mode from there, needing two goals

to save their season. The Chiefs threw some fuel on the fire, taking an ill-advised too many men penalty with just over six minutes left. But Gillam came up with a pair of huge saves, thwarting Patrick McGillis and then Zalewski to keep the Vipers at bay. Vernon coach Jason Williamson called Halcrow to the bench with 47 seconds left. Gillam made one final huge stop off Tambellini and Chilliwack’s Josh Hansen sealed the deal with an empty net goal. “I was hoping he

would pass it back to me so I could take a shot,” Gillam deadpanned. “But it was a great feeling seeing the puck go in because they were pressuring hard and we really needed that insurance.” So now the Chiefs are in the playoffs, and the only question remaining is how high they’ll finish and who they’ll play (Jacob Bestebroer breaks down the possibilities on page 39). Gillam and company have very little time to enjoy themselves before launching into the final weekend of the regular season.

Facing Coquitlam Friday, Westside Saturday and Trail Sunday, Chilliwack has a good chance to move up in the world and maybe avoid a first round date with the Penticton Vees. “Catching PG is our goal right now, maybe get Merritt instead of Penticton right off the bat,” Gillam said. “Merritt’s closer to us, and we’ve had some pretty close games against them. We’ve had some close games against Penticton too, but they’ve got the extra edge with so many great players, it’s hard to keep

up with them.” It’s all academic if the Chiefs can’t take care of business this weekend. After sprinting for so long to get a playoff spot, it might be only natural to experience a small let-down. But Gillam said that can’t happen. “We’ve got to keep pushing and treat Coquitlam, Westside and Trail like first place teams,” he said. “We’ve got to bear down on our chances and get things done.” Saturday (7 p.m.) and Sunday (5 p.m.) games are home dates at Prospera Centre.

Grizzly girls gunning for provincial title Ken Heise has been around a long time and coached a lot of teams. But this season might represent the most fun he’s ever had coaching basketball. The former Sardis secondary school athletic director eased into retirement last summer. But he couldn’t stay away entirely, jumping over to G.W. Graham to run the Grade 8 girls hoops team. “The girls were very green and fundamentally, I knew were in for a challenge,” Heise said of his initial impressions last fall. “Things were different every day, and as a coach, you don’t really have a lot of control over what happens on the court.” The girls were scrambly and unprepared

to make offensive and defensive adjustments. Many had never played the game before arriving at GWG. “Things might look good in a timeout, but they get on the court and they run exactly where they’re not supposed to be,” Heise chuckled. What the girls needed was playing time and encouragement. “They finally got to the point where they could handle the pressure defenses without panicking,” Heise explained. “It was amazing to watch them grow. That’s the enjoyment I get working with the younger kids is you can really, really see the improvement.” When his crew upset Brookswood 33-32 in

the Fraser Valleys to get into provincials, their execution and the way they handled the pressure was absolutely amazing. “At the beginning of the season, we wouldn’t even think of taking three point shots,” Heise said. “In that game, Katherine Holden hit three of them. There’s the physical skills like that, and their basketball IQ has improved greatly over the last three months.” Heise’s chaotic crew finally arrived against Brookswood, and their smiles lit up the entire gymnasium. Now they go to provincials, a first in the school’s short basketball history. Over the three day tournament that started today,

GWG will face some top teams with girls who’ve been playing together for three years. Heise has no doubt his team can give the

big dogs some trouble, and he feels a top 10 finish is possible. “The girls are very loose and excited and I really don’t think they

have any expectations at all as far as placing,” Heise said. “They’re just overjoyed to have the opportunity to be the first team from GWG

Sports Starting something special? Eight of Western Canada’s top all-native ice hockey teams will hit the ice at Prospera Centre April 20-22 for the first annual Sto:lo Ice Hawks All-Native Hockey Showdown. Presented by Triton Environmental, the tournament features three days of full contact round-robin hockey that Soowahlie Chief Otis Jasper describes as a blend of pond hockey and Charlestown Chiefs. “You’ve got an age range of between 17 and 40, and you’ve got guys who’ve played some level of pro hockey on the same ice as guys who played minor,” Jasper said. “What you get is lots of big hits and lots of skill on display.” Jasper and Squiala Chief David Jimmie are modelling the new tournament after others they have seen around the province. Merritt and Vernon have hosted such events, and Prince George ran a hugely successful tournament until a couple years ago. There are many all-native tournaments in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and all have a positive impact on the communities in which they are held. “A big thing we hope we’re doing is helping the community of Chilliwack become more familiar with the local first nations,” Jasper said. “This isn’t a political issue or a land issue. It’s a sport event that hopefully helps build familiarity and dialogue.” Jasper also hopes a spirit of cooperation and accomplishment will strengthen the ties between local first nations. “A lot of young people who attend these events see a positive lifestyle where people are being physically active, and that provides a sense of team and commu-

nity pride,” he noted. “And a big thing we’ve seen as we’ve travelled to other tournaments is that the host team has community members come home for the tournament, which makes it a reunion.” One hundred and 20 players are expected, accompanied by another 200-300 friends and family. The tournament looks to be a tidy economic generator for Chilliwack. Jasper said the local support has been outstanding. The Chilliwack Chiefs have thrown their weight behind it, and the accumulated sponsorship dollars will help make the tournament a success. “We’ve spent the last year identifying the costs and securing sponsorships that will make it affordable for people to attend,” Jasper said. “We can afford good referees and Prospera Centre is a great venue. Our big vision is to get this to where PG’s tournament was, where you’ve got ex-pros like Gino Odjick and Theo Fleury playing.” The inaugural tournament will have the eight men’s teams, with one featured women’s game. In future years, Jasper sees women’s, old-timers and youth divisions. “The big vision is that we want it to be long standing and the premier event in the province,” Jasper said. “It’s been a conversation/ dream for the last three years, and we’ve finally got the pieces together to make it happen.” Tickets will be available at the door. Day passes are $5 and weekend passes are $10, with children 12 and under admitted free. Get more info at www. stoloicehawks.com or email Jasper at otis@ stoloicehawks.com.

Returning player registration for Chilliwack Minor Football takes place Mar. 30 from 6 to 8 p.m. at Evergreen Hall. New players may register March 31 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Cottonwood Mall. See www.chilliwackgiants.com for more info.

Still a shot at second

2011 MODEL

CLEAROUT!

The most unlikely result from this weekend is that the Chiefs move up to second place, writes Jacob Bestebroer Two scenarios thought to be very unlikely prior to the season came to fruition when the Chilliwack Chiefs beat Vernon 4-2 on Tuesday. The Chiefs are going to the playoffs and the three time defending league champion Vipers are not. The Chiefs sit fourth in the Interior conference, but with three games left, they can still finish as high as second. They will need help from other teams. Merritt currently holds second place at 72 points. They play Friday versus Trail (road) and Saturday versus Trail (home). Prince George is third with 70 points and they play their last two games at home this weekend against Penticton. Chilliwack is fourth with 66 points, visiting Coquitlam Friday before home games against Westside (Saturday) and Trail (Sunday). Tie games and games ending in regulation result in teams getting a combined two points. But games ending in overtime see three points awarded, which complicates matters when looking at all the ways things could play out. The most unlikely result is that the Chiefs move up to second place. For that to happen they would need to win their three games and have the following happen; Merritt would need to lose both of their games in regulation and Prince George would need to earn less than two points versus Penticton. Adding to the complication, if Chilliwack wins all three, Merritt gets no points versus Trail and Prince George gets two points versus Penticton, there would be a three way tie in the standings. Nobody seems to know what happens then, but if wins is the tie breaker, the Chiefs would finish second. Not as unlikely are the Chiefs chances to move up to third place. For this to happen we need to assume Merritt gets at least one point versus Trail. If the Chiefs win all three of their games and Prince George gets less than three points versus Penticton, the Chiefs would finish third by tying in points with Prince George and winning the tie breaker on wins. If Chilliwack gets five points this weekend, PG would need to get less than two points for the Chiefs to finish third. If the Chiefs earn four points either with two wins or a win and two ties or overtime losses, they would need PG to lose both of their games in regulation time. There you go. Clear as mud. Sunday’s game versus Trail is fan appreciation night, where all youth members of Chilliwack minor sports organizations can get in free with the purchase of an adult or senior ticket. The first 1,000 fans at Sunday’s game will get a free team photo. Tickets are available at the Chiefs office, or at the box office the day of the game. Dozens of prizes will be handed out, and all details can be found on the Chiefs website.

astroadvice ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, communication is a big deal for you this week. Every time you open your mouth, you have a grand audience just waiting on what you have to say. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, attempt a more lighthearted approach to a difficult situation. If you don’t let it bother you, there may be an easy solution that comes to mind much faster. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, don’t worry if the spark seems to have sizzled out of your relationship. While there may be a bump in the road, this is by no means the end of the

whole thing. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, have some fun at work. Just because it is a means to making money doesn’t mean it has to be serious and boring every day. Be creative in your methods. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 You are at the top of your game this week, Leo. Expect to sail through projects at the speed of light. Also anticipate others turning to you for advice because of the vibe you give. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Don’t expect others to be mind readers, Virgo. If you have something to say,

X simply say it. It is better than going through the guessing game of your feelings. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, the simple act of expressing yourself will ease any personal issues you are keeping inside. Talking about things can help you feel more secure, as well. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, focus on keeping yourself in great shape. Feeling under the weather can be taxing on the body and the spirit. Eat healthy and get more exercise. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, taking time to notice your feelings can go a long way toward mitigating stress and bringing peace of mind. It also creates other opportunities to relax. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, focus on fitness as the warm weather is once again right around the corner. You’ll want to look and feel your best when it comes time to enjoy the great outdoors. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, don’t fret too much over a situation that’s been troubling you. Realizing the situation is a great first step. Now seek the help of others to determine a solution. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 You may notice changes to your home life, Pisces, and it may be causing anxiety. The celestial plane is creating the turmoil.

BELINSKI Ruth A Celebration of Life will be held for RUTH BELINSKI March 24th, 1-3 pm Coast Hotel, Chilliwack

FLEMING Thomas William

On March 4, 2012, our family was saddened by the passing of our wonderful husband, Grampa, FLEMING Great-Grampa, and friend to so many. Thomas William Fleming, 81, passed away peacefully with his loving and devoted wife Betty at his side at Chilliwack General Hospital after a long illness which he courageously accepted without complaint. Each time Tom was hospitalized and regained some measure of health, he would say “God must have something more he wants me to do, so he is not ready for me yet”. Tom was born March 14, 1930 in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan to parents Thomas and Margaret (Anderson) Fleming. He was predeceased by his older siblings; brother Jack and sister Mary. Tom met the love of his life, Betty Mae Fitch, in Prince Albert in 1945. They married December 27, 1949, and enjoyed 62 beautiful years of marriage. Tom was blessed with two children; daughter Gwendolyn (Lynn) Willis born September 28, 1950, and his son Thomas (Tim) Fleming born March 6, 1954. Sadly, Lynn passed away in 2007. Tom loved being a grandfather, and had 5 grandchildren; Andrea, Michael, and Victoria Willis, and Hali and Danika Fleming. He was proud to be known as “Grampa Great”, a name coined by his ﬁrst great-grandchild Kylie Willis, daughter of Andrea. Michael and his wife Karen continued that tradition with their children Parker and Payten Willis. Grandchildren and great-grandchildren alike always looked forward to being entertained by Tom, his sense of humour will be remembered and treasured, even ‘bad mouse’. Tom graduated from Prince Albert Collegiate and later attended the University of Alberta for two years, studying courses in Management. After a transfer to Vancouver, he ﬁnished his schooling at UBC. He had a passion for learning which stayed with him all his life, and he was honoured when asked to conduct seminars in both Canada and the US. He was a member of RSES International, an organization which he was proud to become President of in 1994. Tom and Betty were keen travellers, visiting many places all over the world. Tom’s work had him residing in the 3 western provinces of

Canada. When Tom and Betty moved to Chilliwack in 2006, he told Betty that “Chilliwack is the best kept secret in the world”, but his heart and his home will always be Maple Ridge. There will be a celebration of Tom’s life on Friday, March 9, 2012 at 1 pm at Cooke’s Presbyterian Church. Following the service, guests are invited to a reception in the church hall. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations in Tom’s memory can be made to Cooke’s Presbyterian Church Memorial Fund. Henderson’s Funeral Homes & Crematorium Ltd. 45901 Victoria Avenue, Chilliwack, British Columbia (604) 792.1344

Why British Columbia?

Intellectuals solve problems, geniuses prevent them. –Albert Einstein

The province’s name was chosen by Queen Victoria when the Colony of British Columbia, i.e. “the Mainland”, became a British colony in 1858. It refers to the Columbia District, the British name for the territory drained by the Columbia River, in southeastern British Columbia, which was the namesake of the pre-Oregon Treaty Columbia Department of the Hudson Bay Company. Queen Victoria chose British Columbia to distinguish what was the British sector of the Columbia District from that of the United States (“American Columbia” or “Southern Columbia”), which became the Oregon Territory in 1848 as a result of the treaty.
