Residents rattled by FVRD gravel meeting Robert Freeman The Progress Fraser Valley Regional District directors are meeting behind closed doors with B.C. mining and gravel industry officials next week to discuss the future of the Aggregate Pilot Project. But some rural area residents fear FVRD directors at the April 10 meeting will approve the APP just when a court case in Peachland may rule whether municipal and regional government bylaws can trump the B.C. Mines Act and limit gravel mining operations. “Ironically, the industry-friendly (APP) could leave the FVRD as the least powerful region in the province, in controlling Conflict Gravel disputes,” Glen Thompson, spokesman for the Friends of the Chilliwack River Valley, said. “If the APP passes, the FVRD will abolish bylaws that limit and regulate gravel extraction,” he said. However, Peachland Mayor Keith Fielding said even if the courts rule in the municipality’s favour, an agreement with the gravel industry similar to the Fraser Valley pilot program would be a “valuable” tool, “provided it’s respected and the results are enforceable.” “Without (such a program) it’s even worse,” he said. Fielding said a pilot program in the Central Okanagan Regional District has “essentially stalled” due to a lack of B.C. government funding for mapping gravel resources in the region. FVRD chair Sharon Gaetz said there are no plans for a final vote on the APP at the April 10 meeting, although the three-colour mapping designations it proposes will be discussed by electoral area directors and gravel industry officials. “I think what Glen has assumed is we’re going to charge on ahead (of the court ruling) and put the APP in place and lock ourselves in,” she said. “It’s not in our best interests to do that, quite frankly.” Continued: GRAVEL/ p7

Nellie Marchuk collects Ukrainian Easter eggs. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Continuing a colourful Easter tradition Katie Bartel The Progress Nellie Marchuk didn’t have the hand for pysanky, but she did have the eye. A “true” Ukrainian, the 88-year-old has held strong to her roots for all her years. She has religiously prepared the traditional 12-course Ukrainian Christmas Eve feast; is a member of the Ukrainian Women’s Association and the Fraser Valley Ukrainian Senior Citizen’s Association; and every Easter she gets a basket filled with the evening’s feast – ham, sausage, horseradish relish, babka and paska – blessed by the Ukrainian church. In that basket is always

a beautifully decorated Ukrainian egg. “I love the colours,” Marchuk said as she gently cradled an egg gifted to her from one of her students in 1947 that still has the dried yolk inside – made d when h iit wasn’t required to blow out the contents. The history of Ukrainian eggs, also known as pysanky, dates back more than 2,000 years when Ukrainians worshipped a sun god, and believed a great power was

embodied e in i the egg. Every spring E peasants decop rated the eggs r with w nature symbols to s celebrate and c honour the h sun s before planting their p crops. c With the rise Christianity, i off Ch i i i the decorated eggs soon became Easter symbols, likening them to the tomb from which Jesus arose. It’s a tradition that continues strong today for Ukrainians, like Marchuk, around the globe. Twenty five years ago,

Marchuk first tried her hand at the unique art form. “I figured I knew everything else Ukrainian, why shouldn’t I learn how to write an Easter egg,” she said. “We do not paint Easter eggs, we write, colour and decorate.” With a step-by-step guidebook, a metal stylus, called kistka, beeswax and coloured dye, it took Marchuk just a day to design her first pysanka. The red, black and white dyed egg, which she still holds dear today, features a prominent rose, along with smaller flowers resembling poppies and geometric designs like squares and diamonds.

Canada Day celebrations return to downtown Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack’s Canada Day celebration is moving back to downtown for 2012. It will be the “biggest and best” July 1 celebration the city has ever seen, said an organizer at the press conference yesterday. The community event is shifting back to the Chilliwack Landing site for July 1, a return after a decadelong stint at Chilliwack Heritage Park. “Times have changed,” said Rod Hudson, executive director of the Chilliwack Community Arts

Council. “Heritage Park is now a very busy facility.” The Canada Day celebration has been organized by a planning committee of the Arts Council for the last 17 years, and the facilities are now all booked for 2012 on the Landing site. “We’re also firm believers that these kind of events have to be changed up every five years or so,” Hudson said, emphasizing the move will breathe even more energy into the largest one-day event in Chilliwack. It also dovetails with the City of Chilliwack’s goals of encouraging

more events and activities to be brought into the downtown core. “Last year the theme was agriculture, and so when the committee met after the event last year, it was decided that the theme this year would be sports.” The organizers had difficulty imagining how they would pull off a sports-related theme at Heritage Park, since the lights don’t even have protective grills for balls to bounce off. All of that added up to the idea of moving Canada Day to the Landing. “With the name change from the

old Ag Rec Centre to the Landing Sports Centre, and addition of Leisure Centre and Prospera Centre, the Old Exhibition Grounds have been developed into a well-rounded sports complex,” Hudson said. The July 1 celebration will greet early risers starting at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast at Evergreen Hall hosted by Sardis Kiwanis, with proceeds going to the Special Olympics. Since it falls on a Sunday, a multi-denominational church service will be held in front of the grandstand. The day is filled with activities

at different venues to keep folks entertained and active, and lots of live musical entertainment. There will be a bouncy house, carnival rides, tennis, skate park tournament, dog agility, bocci ball and horseshoes. The Canada Day excitement will come to a close at 10 p.m., as usual, with a spectacular fireworks display by Midnight Pyro. “Bring a picnic, spread your blanket on the grass and celebrate this wonderful country’s 145th birthday party right here in Chilliwack. We promise there will be something for everyone.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Chilliwack moves to protect Carey Point from freshet Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It may not be everything that some Chilliwack farmers had been hoping for, but it’s the best City of Chilliwack can do right now, according to one city councillor. Council unanimously voted to spend $110,000 at the Tuesday meeting, in part to build an engineered dam to hold any flooding at bay this spring at Carey Point. That’s in addition to the $25,000 recently secured by Chilliwack MLA John Les for the flood protection effort from Emergency Management B.C. Mayor Sharon Gaetz thanked the local MLA Council had to “for going to bat” for Chilliwack and managing wrestle with a to get EMBC to squeeze hard decision out those funds at the last minute. on this one The $110,000 from city coffers will cover $85,000 ~ Sharon for an engineered “check dam” to be built on Gaetz Orchard Slough, and the balance as a contribution to the non-engineered berm that will be built by property owners with farms and homes located outside the city diking system. The total cost of an engineered solution for the check dam and berm would have been about $235,000, according to the staff report. “It’s probably not what the residents were hoping for,” said Coun. Ken Huttema when he proposed the second of three options staff gave. “Given what happened, they would have hoped the city and province could have stepped up and paid for the whole works. “But it’s the best the city can come forward with right now.” Coun. Sue Attrill said everything that could be done to “move it along quickly” at this point would help since the freshet high water is coming, and locals are concerned.

Premier Christy Clark greets employees at IMW Industries on Wednesday during a press conference and tour of the facility. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Clark back in the ’Wack to pitch job creation Robert Freeman The Progress B.C. Premier Christy Clark came to Chilliwack Wednesday to highlight the jobs created by her government’s liquefied natural gas strategy. And to keep those jobs coming, she urged voters in the Chilliwack-Hope byelection to cast their ballots for Laurie Throness. “I’ve been coming to Chilliwack a lot because it’s really important that Laurie Throness get elected out here,” she told reporters, before touring the IMW Industries Ltd. plant. “We can’t split the vote,” she said, “and every time the NDP gets into government, the province comes to a dead stop economically.” Throness will represent free-enterprise, Clark continued, and “bring that

passionate voice equal to the one Barry Penner had for so long in this community.” The Premier shrugged off a recent poll that suggested the small-c conservative vote has already split between the BC Liberals and the BC Conservatives. She said only two political parties in B.C. are “capable” of forming government. “It would be a terrible shame if Chilliwack-Hope ended up being represented by (the NDP) who don’t care about free enterprise and who don’t care about growing our economy and creating jobs,” she said. “That’s why we need to stick together.” Throness also suggested the provincial Angus Reid survey doesn’t reflect the political landscape in the ChilliwackHope riding.

“What matters is what’s happening in this riding, and I’m seeing very encouraging results on the doorsteps,” he said. Clark was in Chilliwack to tour the IMW plant that makes natural gas compressors. The plant expanded recently adding 100 more jobs to its 200-employee payroll. Chilliwack MLA John Les, who was also on hand for the tour, said that B.C.’s natural gas strategy is attracting investment not just to the northern part of the province, but also here in the Chilliwack area. He said that Tycrop Manufacturing in Rosedale, the Britco plant in Agassiz and IMW are all examples of local companies benefitting from the strategy. “A lot of that natural gas investment is resulting in a lot of jobs in Chilliwack,” he said. rfreeman@theprogress.com

Money found to ease threat

FLOOD from p3 Coun. Chuck Stam argued it was a good investment, and time for the city to “put our money where our mouth is” when it comes to supporting the agriculture. “Without this kind of investment in our area now we could see a significant loss of productivity. This is a good investment.”

About 18 property owners living on more than 350 agricultural acres outside the Chilliwack dikes suffered crop losses, flooding and seepage, after the berm failed during a prolonged high-water session last summer. “I think there needs to be some acknowledgement by residents that they live outside our dike pro-

tection,” Mayor Gaetz said. “The province doesn’t and certainly the city doesn’t have the funds” to pay for building flood protection infrastructure. She recommended that farmers seek out crops that can withstand flooding on a yearly basis. “Council had to wrestle with a hard decision on this one,” she

said. “But it’s one that benefits the residents of Carey Point, and it also protects farmland. Good luck to the residents.” The orphaned berm was originally built in an emergency flooding situation more than 15 years ago, but it has never been maintained by any level of government in the years since. jfeinberg@theprogress.com

BC Liberals drop to second-place tie with BC Conservatives: Poll Robert Freeman The Progress The governing BC Liberal party has dropped to a tie for second place with the BC Conservative party, according to a poll released Monday. The poll backs up MLA John van Dongen’s assertion in Chilliwack on Saturday that the conservative vote has already split in B.C. The online survey by Angus Reid of a “representative sample” of 800 British Columbian adults also showed that NDP Leader Adrian Dix is keeping a comfortable lead over Premier Christy Clark. “Over the past 12 months, the New Democrats have slowly but steadily gained five points, and have seen Dix become both the preferred premier and the leader with the highest approval rating,” Angus Reid pollsters said. “In the same period, the BC Liberals have seen their support among decided voters drop by 20 points — going from first place to a tie for second — while the BC Conservatives have improved their standing by 18 points.” Survey analysts also said that since the teachers “work stoppage” and van Dongen’s “defection” to the BC Conservatives, the BC Liberal government has fallen to its lowest level since

July, 2010 “immediately after the harmonized sales tax came into force under Gordon Campbell.” “If an election were held today, the BC Liberals would receive half the votes they received in 2009,” the Angus Reid analysts said. “One-third of the voters who supported the Campbell-led BC Liberals in 2009 are now backing the BC Conservatives,” the analysts concluded. “The party appears to be enjoying a surge in support after van Dongen decided to join. The analysts added that although the numbers for BC Conservative Party Leader John Cummins are better than what he posted in January, “many British Columbians are not yet fully aware of his activities.” The online survey, conducted from March 29 to March 30, has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 per cent. Key findings: 43 per cent intend to vote for the NDP, 23 per cent for the BC Liberals and 23 per cent for the BC Conservatives; Dix has an approval rating of 45 per cent, Clark 32 per cent and Cummins 28 per cent; 25 per cent rated Dix the Best Premier, followed by Clark at 17 per cent and Cummins at 12 per cent.

‘A steady hand and an imagination’ “It was the easiest to do as far as I was concerned,” Marchuk whispered with a smile. “You’ve got to have a steady hand and an imagination to write Easter eggs – I am not artistic.” But she can spot art. Even though Marchuk retired her kistka after just two eggs, she faithfully purchases a new egg every year at her church’s annual Easter bake sale.

Progress staff earn industry awards Staff from the Chilliwack Progress newsroom have been picking up awards lately – provincially, nationally and internationally. Eric Welsh recently earned first place in the feature series categor y of the Canadian Community Newspaper Awards for a story that followed a Chilliwack student through his cancer treatment. The four-part series, with collaboration from photojournalist Jenna Hauck, chronicled the trials of Kyle Lorteau and his family as the budding basketball star overcame the disease. Nationally, Hauck also earned first place for best spot news coverage. Welsh and Hauck have also been nominated for an award in the feature series category of the B.C. and Yukon Community Newspaper Association for the same story. Hauck is also up for awards for best feature portrait and best photo illustration. Katie Bartel, meanwhile, finished second in North America for her feature series on Chilliwack students struggling to graduate. The four-part series put faces to the statistics, and told the story behind Chilliwack’s faltering high school completion rate. The award is presented by the Suburban Newspapers of North America, now called the Local Media Association.

News Gravel meeting intended to ‘refine’ location maps GRAVEL from Front David Lamson, Electoral Area E Director in the Chilliwack River Valley, confirmed the meeting will be closed to the public, but “as far as there being a final vote on the APP, that’s not my understanding because the APP is a report with a number of recommendations ... it doesn’t have to be all agreed to at once.” However, he suggested that if the industry does agree to a map during the meeting that protects the community’s interests, it would obviously not be refused. Lamson said the Chilliwack River Valley Ratepayers Association and the Cultus Lake Park Board have been invited to send delegates to a meeting this week to get their input prior to the April 10 meeting, but no meeting open to the general public has been organized to date. Lamson said Area E residents can send comments about the APP to the FVRD website or

contact members of two advisory commissions reviewing the area’s official settlement plan. Public consultation has been a flash point among rural area residents who were not part of the five years of negotiations that resulted in the March, 2009 APP agreement. The argument against public involvement was that the elected FVRD electoral area directors represented their interests. However, that’s not the way residents living next door to gravel mining operations like those in Lake Errock see it, and the APP has been simmering in limbo ever since. But their fight is not with the APP, Abbotsfor d-Mission MLA Randy Hawes, B.C.’s former secretary of state for mining, suggested Wednesday. “This (APP) is not about the existing gravel pits,” he said, but the location of future gravel pits so home builders can avoid the very “conflict gravel” situations

T HE

vexing residents. He said the purpose of the April 10 meeting is to “refine” maps where gravel may or may not be mined “and then taking them to the public.” “This is not a decision-making thing,” he said. Public meetings to date have deteriorated into “screaming sessions” about existing gravel pits, which have nothing to do with the APP, he said. “To me, this (APP) is about sharing the decision-making process that hasn’t happened before,” he said, which will give local governments “much more say” about gravel mining operations. “I think it will be a crying shame if it’s derailed by some short-sighted people,” he said.

Chilliwack man sentenced in cross-border pot smuggling Black Press A Chilliwack man who was the alleged pilot of a helicopter that crashed in Abbotsford in 2005 and who has links to the Bacon brothers has been sentenced in a cross-border smuggling scheme. Dustin Melvin Haugen, 29, previously pleaded guilty conspiracy to import 100 kilograms or more of marijuana, and was sentenced last week in a Spokane, Washington cour troom to time served. This time included three months spent in North Fraser Pretrial Centre after his arrest in 2006 and 11 months in the U.S. after he was extradited there in April 2011. Haugen was one of more than 40 people arrested in 2006 in a two-year-old police operation targeting drug smuggling. He and Daryl Desjardins, 45, of Agassiz were arrested on May 9, 2006 after returning to Canada following a drug drop in the U.S. Desjardins pleaded guilty later that year in Chilliwack provincial court and was sentenced to four years in prison. According to court documents, on the day of their arrest, police videotaped a Bell 206 Jet Ranger helicopter leaving from a hangar

near Harrison Hot Springs and landing in an isolated area in B.C. Desjardins was the pilot, and Haugen was the co-pilot. The chopper met with occupants of a pickup truck, and Haugen was seen unloading hockey bags from the truck and placing them in the helicopter. The chopper then took off and landed in a state wildlife area in Okanogan County in nor th central Washington, where the hockey bags were unloaded and placed in another truck. The helicopter returned to its original location in Harrison Hot Springs, and the pair were arrested. The hockey bags that had been loaded onto the truck, and seized by police, were found to contain 135.2 kilograms of marijuana. Desjardins’ plea agreement including dropping charges against Haugen, but Haugen was extradited to the U.S. and turned himself in last year. He is believed to be the pilot of a Bell Jet Ranger that crashed on a 58 Avenue property near Ross Road in Abbotsford in March 2005. The crash killed his girlfriend, 22-year-old Christina Alexander, but he was never charged. At the time, search warrant documents

in a case involving drug charges against Jonathan Bacon indicated that Bacon allegedly made payments of $1,000 a month to a tenant on the 58 Avenue property so helicopters could be flown from the site. Bacon, 30, was gunned down in a targeted hit in Kelowna last summer. He was

never charged in connection to the helicopter crash or cross-border smuggling. He was the eldest of Abbotsford’s notorious Bacon brothers. Middle brother Jamie is in prison awaiting trial in the Surrey Six killings, and Jarrod is in custody awaiting sentencing on a drug conspiracy conviction.

Voters drive change There are some huge issues that matter to each and every one of us. Issues like health care, housing, education, energy, economy, the environment and infrastructure. And there is one person who is the “go-to” contact when something within that realm goes wrong. That one person is in charge of speaking up for you, whether you need someone to listen to your health woes, provide assistance to your struggling business or address a lack of proper public transit. And that person is your friendly, hard-working MLA — for which applications are currently being reviewed. The by-election on April 19 will solidify the role until the next general election in 2013. More than just a talking head, elected MLAs are expected to liaise with those in their community, and know the issues at hand. For example, ditches in Agassiz are overflowing? We should look for a representative willing to pull on a pair of rubber boots and have a close up look. Businesses up the Fraser Canyon are struggling? Then we should be looking for a representative willing to speak up for entrepreneurs, help boost tourism and support creative ideas. Keeping tabs on all points within this riding is a big job, previously filled by Barry Penner, and most recently being covered by neighbouring Chilliwack MLA John Les. While the riding’s size is not as daunting as those seen in Northern B.C., it’s still a large area. Regardless of party affiliation — because we know that can change in the blink of an eye — we need a determined leader willing to negotiate the best possible solutions on our behalf. It’s a powerful role, being an MLA. But nothing is as powerful as the people who elect them, and nothing drives change as much as speaking to your elected officials about the issues that need dealing with. This riding historically has high voter turnout, and all the byelection candidates are paying equal attention to that loud, collective voice. For the next two weeks, you can bet they’ll be putty in your hands. And that’s an opportunity that shouldn’t go to waste. ~ Black Press

B.C.’s Gentle John Cummins? No, not really VICTORIA – In an interview with one of our Vancouver Island papers before Christmas, B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins made a bold prediction that he would have party status before the general election in May 2013. That’s four seats, and it wasn’t based on an unlikely sweep of the Chilliwack-Hope and Port MoodyCoquitlam by-elections, now set for April 19. He hinted he was getting calls from MLAs looking to join up, after a November Angus Reid poll showed a sudden surge to 18 per cent for his resurgent brand. We now know that one of those callers was Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen. I asked Cummins on Friday if he is still confident about three more. “Hopeful, let’s put it that way,” he replied. Van Dongen’s explosive

Progress

departure was arranged, with Cummins’ help, for maximum damage to Premier Christy Clark. Van Dongen notified the B.C. Liberal caucus that he was quitting. Then, in a questionable use of legislature privileges, he launched a broadside on Clark’s integrity. He cited the $6-million legal payout in the B.C. Rail sale, a deciTom sion made before FLETCHER Clark’s time, and the recent collapse of a deal to sell naming rights to B.C. Place. He described the B.C. Liberals as “an organization headed for failure,” then announced he’s joined the B.C. Conservatives. Cummins then joined van Dongen at a hotel news confer-

ence across the street, as the former Gordon Campbell cabinet minister disclosed he has hired his own lawyer to dig through the roomful of paper from the B.C. Rail case once again. Auditor General John Doyle is already in court seeking access to details of the $6 million in lawyer bills, which the Attorney General’s ministry hasn’t provided because it doesn’t have them. These delicate matters were farmed out to yet more independent lawyers. Independent special prosecutor Bill Berardino also spent seven years and many more millions on the B.C. Rail case, including the role of Clark’s lobbyist brother, Bruce. He didn’t find the smoking gun now sought by van Dongen. This effort seems designed more for political revenge in an election year than to clarify the sorry legacy of the B.C. Rail sale that has already been examined

through two provincial elections. Van Dongen was at the top of everyone’s list of disgruntled B.C. Liberals. During last year’s leadership contest, he muttered darkly about not only B.C. Rail, but also the integrity of fellow Abbotsford MLA Mike de Jong. Now Clark is van Dongen’s target, with Cummins standing beside him trying to look statesman-like. Of course van Dongen drove himself out of cabinet long before Clark returned. Chronic speeding by a public safety minister is a tough sell. I asked Cummins about the reluctance of key cabinet ministers Kevin Falcon and George Abbott to confirm they are running again. His aw-shucks friendly-grandpa modesty precludes speculation, but he did allow it’s “maybe a comment on the state of affairs in the Liberal caucus.”

Reporters started sur veying government MLAs after Falcon and Abbott kept their options open for 2013. For the record, fellow ministers Terry Lake, Shirley Bond, Pat Bell, Mary Polak, Rich Coleman and Stephanie Cadieux all said they are firmly on Clark’s election team. Independent-minded backbenchers Bill Bennett and Kevin Krueger also saluted the B.C. Liberal banner. Randy Hawes allowed that he’s 65, so if he leaves it will be for the golf course. As I was talking with Cummins, B.C. Conservative advisor Randy White was assuring the Abbotsford News that more defections are coming. Cummins has people for the dirty work.

Budget demonstrates ‘skewed priorities’ Are you prepared to give up $13,000 during your golden years? MP Mark Strahl and Prime Minister Stephen Harper think you are. That’s what the average Canadian will have to give up thanks to the federal budget introduced by the Conservative Party last week. The Budget cuts retirement benefits by raising the age of eligibility for Old Age Security and the Guaranteed Income Supplement from 65 to 67 years, forcing Canadians to postpone their retirement for 2 years. For low income seniors it’s even worse. They stand to lose up to

$30,000 which could hike seniors’ poverty by up third. It’s a massive hit to the leastwell off. It’s mean-spirited and it’s wrong. The Conservatives offered zero financial analysis to justify the cut because there is none. The OECD, the Parliamentary Budget Officer and other leading experts have all confirmed that Canada does not face a pension crisis. The Conservatives are also using the budget making deep ideological cuts. They are cutting $90 million dollars from Environment Canada, further

gutting protection for the environment when we should be strengthening it. They are cutting $166 million from Aboriginal Affairs, reducing funding for the fastest growing and most impoverished group in the country. How skewed are these priorities? Take a look at what the government is not cutting: polls, advertising, bigger jails and stealth fighters. Canadians should be asking Stephen Harper and Mark Strahl how they can justify such a smallminded Canada. Bob Rae, Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada

Budget lets down the world’s poor There’s been a lot of analysis in the media about the new federal budget, but what is missing is a real acknowledgement of the cuts to CIDA. Everyone must share the burden is the justification, but the consequences for these cuts are far, far greater than any other. It is unconscionable to deny a child a 2-cent vitamin A pill that could keep her from going

blind. There can be no justification for withholding $20 worth of drugs that would save a mother of five from an agonising death by TB. There is no room for so-called “austerity” when millions of adolescent girls are forced out of school because there are no toilets for them. One can argue forever where cuts should happen and how, but there can never be

any rational, ethical, or moral justification for one of the richest countries in the world claiming a lack of money when cutting help to the poorest. It’s like a Wall Street banker not giving to the United Way this year because the cost of operating his Rolls Royce fleet has gone up. The Harper government is counting that Canadians don’t give a

damn. They think that we only worry about our own backyard, not the enormous suffering that will occur as a result of these cuts. Yet if we let this pass, Canadians will have become the global one percent: pitiless and arrogant fat cats looking down on the world’s poor and flicking our cigar ashes in their faces. Nathaniel Poole

Carbon tax hurts working families Thou shalt not covet anything that is thy neighbour’s, so I will not vote for the NDP, which seeks to use taxation to take things that aren’t theirs – your money. It is a filthy rotten system, but as P.J. O’Rourke said in a speech about the proper role of government in your life, keep your hands to yourself and mind your own business. Any government or politician who seeks to do otherwise, or more, necessarily infringes on your rights. For the same reason, I will not vote for the BC Liberals, who attempt to brand themselves as the only free enterprise option

in BC, yet gave us the hated HST, and the carbon tax which hits us every time we put gas in the van, have a shower, turn the heat on, or fire up the barbecue. The environment is important, but carbon taxes are a regressive burden on working middle class families in rural areas of the province who have no transit options but to put gas in their vehicles to get to work and their kids to school and their activities. I will not vote for any politician who steals yet more money from me at the gas pump and my furnace, when I am strug-

gling just to make it to my next pay day. The only party that does not support the anti-family carbon tax, is the BC Conservatives. And thankfully, in ChilliwackHope, we have the opportunity to vote for a party and candidate who are not trying to make life harder for the average family. The BC Conservatives are the only real option to the socialist hordes at the gates, because the BC Liberals are no friend of mine or yours. Quinn Mebesius Agassiz

B.C. Liberals retain big lead in party donations Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. Liberal Party has slipped in public opinion polls, but it’s still far out in front in the race for donations. Financial statements released Wednesday by Elections BC show the B.C. Liberals collected more than $8.9 million in political contributions in 2011. About $5 million of that came from corporations, with most of the rest from individuals. The B.C. NDP collected $4.4 million in political contributions last year. The vast majority was individual donations, with $831,000 from unions and about $230,000 from corporations and businesses. Large individual donations to the B.C. Liberals included $100,000 each from Richard Ilich and John S. Major, $50,000 from Teck Corp. chairman Norm Keevil, and $50,000 from Gwyn Morgan, the former EnCana CEO who now serves as an advisor to Premier Christy Clark. Companies controlled by Vancouver Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini donated a total of $128,000. Other corporate donors included Cactus Restaurants Ltd., which donated $42,500, and Earl’s with more than $24,000, despite the B.C. Liberal government’s imposition of the harmonized sales tax and increases to the provincial minimum wage. Railways, forest and pharmaceutical firms also lined up to donate to the B.C. Liberals, a trend that has seen the party collect roughly double the amount of the NDP over the past decade. Natural gas producer EnCana gave the B.C. Liberals $146,200, and the largest single donation of $210,000 came from Vancouverbased mining company Goldcorp Inc. The B.C. Liberals finished 2011 with more than $1.5 million in the bank, although loans and other liabilities leave it with a surplus of just under $400,000 with an election just over a year away. The NDP finished 2011 with a deficit of nearly $100,000, in a year when both major parties had leadership conventions as well as

Construction officially starts on Station 8050 Construction has begun on a 75-room hotel and 30,000-square-foot retail complex on Lickman Road. Heath and Nathan Stone, managing partners for HHG Canada, officially launched construction for Station 8050 last week and were joined by over 100 dignitaries and guests. Site preparation at the 7.5 acre property, which will feature a 75-room Hampton Inn by Hilton, began in November. “We are excited to launch the first of several hotel projects throughout the Fraser Valley right here in Chilliwack”, said Heath Stone, Hilton Worldwide Director of Development for Western Canada. “Several regional and national franchise brands will be coming to Station 8050 where the Chilliwack community can conveniently Eat, Work, and Stay.” Another special event highlight was the presentation of a $10,000 cheque to the Chilliwack Optimist Club on behalf of Station 8050 and vendors who contributed to the Construction for Kids initiative. “We strongly believe in giving back to the communities in which we build,” commented Nathan Stone, “and recognize the value of the programs provided by the Chilliwack Optimist Club.”

In 1903, William Harley and Arthur Davidson built the first Harley-Davidson motorcycle. If you can imagine, the factory was a 10x15 foot wooden shed with the words â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Harley-Davidson Motor Companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; crudely scrawled on the door. From those humble beginnings to the companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current success, Harley-Davidson continues to fuel the passions of Ana their many loyal MACEDO customers. For Dave Johnson, when the opportunity to purchase a Harley dealership in Chilliwack presented itself, it was a no brainer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This was an iconic brand that appealed to the baby boomers in an underdeveloped market. This was the attraction for me,â&#x20AC;? he said, passionately. Dave was born and raised in the mining city of Flin Flon, Manitoba. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a very hardworking dad who worked in the smelter. He was a great, blue-collar kinda guy and my mom was a nurse at the Flin Flon General Hospital.â&#x20AC;? The eldest of three children, Dave was extremely close to his brother and sister

Dave Johnson is the owner of Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Mountainview HarleyDavidson. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

and fiercely devoted to his father. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dad and I were so close. He was such a young and active guy. He would go out and shingle your roof, even at the age of 75. He died some years back of brain cancer and I really do miss him,â&#x20AC;? he reflected. While attending Neepawa Area Collegiate Institute, Dave was a rather social student who enjoyed and excelled at various sports. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I played most sports at quite a high level, except hockey.

Symphonic touch adds to classic Beatles sound CMO and Fab Fourever Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

The classic Canadian band 54-40 comes to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre April 12.

54-40 is heading to Chilliwack Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Iconic Canadian band 54-40 will grace the Cultural Centre stage next Thursday with an exciting repertoire spanning three decades. The band’s trajectory can be traced from post-punk beginnings in the 1980s, with tunes like Baby Ran, Ocean Pearl, and I Go Blind, which was later covered by Hootie and the Blowfish, and made it onto the first Friends soundtrack. They’ve earned a reputation for a great live show, and for managing to reinvent themselves with each new release. “We’ve always been an eclectic group,” says 54-40 bassist Brad Merritt. “But we have faith in ourselves, in our fans, and the audience to always find some

common ground.” The band is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and more than 2000 performances, touring across Canada in support of last year’s album, Night in the City. Reinvention is actually “remarkably easy” for the guys. “You just have to allow yourself to do it,” says Merritt in a phone interview this week. “The only thing stopping you is being scared there won’t be an audience.” Once they finish a recording project, from the idea of the song, to refining it collaboratively, getting input, to mixing and mastering it, assembling the art work, to going on the tour — they end up playing the songs over and over. So by the time that happens, they’re ready for a fresh musical idea to kick around.

That said, they still enjoy playing the old favourites from their 16 recordings. “We’re playing a song right now in our set that’s 29 years old. Everyone is loving it,” says Merritt. He’s talking about the 1983 tune Set the Fire. If there’s a specific “city” referenced in the album title Night in the City, by Osborne, it would have to be Vancouver, said Merritt. Merritt and Neil Osborne are the original members of 54-40, which has gone through a number of lineup changes over the years. They’re joined by drummer Matt Johnson and guitarist Dave Genn. “Neil wanted to do a modern riff on blues. It has very little to do with the sound of the songs, but more the words and themes,

and the tone of the songs.” The blues can be cathartic, he offers, like an early spring after a hideous winter. Speaking of spring, they’ll be taking some time off, and coming back home to the West Coast, after the next couple of shows. “We’ve started the early stages of our next record,” he says. Asked if they have a Canadian sensibility as a band, the short answer is “yes,” Merritt replies. “I would also say that Canadian music has moved in our direction. “I think when we first started out, we certainly identified ourselves as being Canadian, that’s where the whole name comes from.” The band’s name comes from the slogan “Fifty-Four Forty or

It’s classic rock and roll on April 14, backed by the timeless power of an orchestra. For the first time, Beatles tribute The Fab Fourever will share a stage at the Cultural Centre with the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra. Jody Tennant, who performs as Paul McCartney, is calling it “a dream come true.” “Having the opportunity to play Beatles music accompanied by the CMO is going to be quite a treat for everybody in attendance,” Tennant says. Fab Fourever has sold out at the Cultural Centre each time it has performed in Chilliwack. The local Met orchestra with more than 100 players is eagerly anticipating the collaboration. “This is an exciting endeavour for the CMO,” says spokesperson Wayne Fleming. “It is music that most of us grew up with yet many of our orchestra members have not performed this music in a concert setting.” Kevin Davey, who performs as John Lennon says: “The show will feature music that the Beatles were unable to reproduce on stage, mainly because of the elaborate orchestral involvement.” The albums showcased will include Sgt. Pepper, Magical Mystery Tour, the White Album, Let It Be, and Abbey Road. The Fab Fourever, with The Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra, Saturday April 14, at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, 9201 Corbould Street, Chilliwack. For tickets call 604-391-SHOW (7469).

54-40 brings classic Canadian rock to Chilliwack CLASSIC from p23 Fight!” coined for the unsuccessful expansionist agenda of U.S. President James K. Polk’s, who was trying to control a contested border area

in the Oregon boundary dispute. But they also spent lots of time in the U.S. “I actually think music has evolved and there is such a wide range of what’s out there and

accepted by people.” When they started out there was more pressure to imitate existing bands. “We managed to succeed despite that — or maybe because of it.” 54-40, Thursday, April

1 (14 to 16 pound) frozen young turkey

For the brine:

1 cup kosher salt 1/2 cup light brown sugar 1 gallon vegetable stock 1 tbsp black peppercorns 1 1/2 tsp allspice berries 1 1/2 tsp chopped candied ginger 1 gallon heavily iced water

Community

Run for Mom brings family together The Envision Run For Mom has become a family affair for Lisa Boyes. Not only does she serve on the run’s organizing committee, her mother-in-law, fatherin-law, husband and son also volunteer at the event, which raises money for services for women and children at Chilliwack General Hospital. “I think it’s important that we support the local community and the hospital,” says Lisa, who works as a commercial accounts manager for small business at the Chilliwack Branch of Envision Financial. The run, now in its 14th year, has raised nearly a quarter-million dollars for medical equipment at CGH. It’s organized through the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation and supported by more than 60 volunteers, who do everything from process registrations, to staff water stations along the route. Lisa has sat on the organizing committee for about seven years. The committee begins

meeting early in the new year, soliciting donations, securing sponsors and recruiting volunteers. Part of the organizing process involves determining the medical equipment that the funds raised from the run will purchase – a decision that’s based on recommendations from Chilliwack General. Over the years Run for Mom has purchased enough equipment to fill a room. Last year the event paid for a highend fetal monitor that provides better data for the medical staff and more mobility for the mother.

Directions:

To make the brine, combine the vegetable stock, salt, brown sugar, peppercorns, allspice berries, and candied ginger in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Stir occasionally to dissolve solids and bring to a boil. Then remove the brine from the heat, cool to room temperature, and refrigerate. The night before dinner, combine the brine, water and ice in the 5-gallon bucket. Place the thawed turkey (with innards removed) breast side down in brine. If necessary, weigh down the bird to ensure it is fully immersed, cover, and refrigerate overnight, turning the bird once half way through brining. Preheat the over to 500 degrees F. Remove the bird from the brine and rinse inside and out with cold water. Discard the brine. Place the bird on roasting rack inside a half sheet pan and pat dry with paper towels. Combine the apple, onion, cinnamon stick and 1 cup of water in a microwave owave safe dish and microwave on high for 5 minutes. Add steeped aromatics to the turkey’s cavity along with the rosemary and safe. Tuck the wings underneath eath the bird and coat the skin liberally with canola oil. Roast the turkey on lowest level of the oven at 500 degrees F for 30 minutes, utes, reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees F, continuing to cook for approximately 1 3/4 hour. A 14 to 16 pound bird should require a total off 2 to 2 1/2 hours of roasting. Let the turkey rest, loosely covered with foil orr a large mixing bow for 15 minutes before carving. The turkey is cooked if the juices run clear when you cut between the leg and thigh.

This year organizers hope to buy a specialized delivery and recovery bed. Reviewing the list of equipment the run has helped purchase is something Al and Carol Boyes, Lisa’s inlaws, feel good about. Their involvement with Chilliwack General Hospital goes back years, beginning with the Hospital Service League. They were involved with the first runs, and today help deliver the flowers that are free for any participating mother. Each year Minter’s Country Garden donates nearly 400 plants, and getting

them to the run site can be a bit of a challenge, Al admits with a laugh. They’ve only got a small SUV, he says, “and it gets pretty crowded.” Minter’s is just one of many local companies that support the run year after year. At Envision, staff really get behind the event, Lisa says. Not only do they volunteer, but many participate, coming from branches in Hope and Abbotsford. They understand that their efforts have an impact. A few years ago, Lisa says, one of their branch managers had a baby that arrived prematurely. On the baby’s incubator at CGH was a little plaque, saying the machine was purchased with funds from the Envision Run for Mom. It’s clear others understand the event’s importance as well, Lisa says. Every year volunteers, and as many as 900 participants, give up their Mother’s Day to support CGH. “It shows you how many people the hospital affects that you don’t realize,” she says. Those volunteers include Lisa’s husband Gary, and son Cody. Their participation, says Lisa with a smile, is a Mother’s Day gift to her. • This year’s Envision Run For Mom is Sunday, May 13. The course (8k road race, 5k fun run and walk, and 1k kids run) starts and finishes at UFV’s Trades and Technology Centre at Tyson and Keith Wilson. The race start is 10 a.m., but participants are urged to get there early if they haven’t preregistered. Information brochures can be picked up at several locations in Chilliwack, including any Envision branch, the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation office at CGH, or the Chilliwack Progress office.

Easter lilies are still very much a part of the Easter season, not only for their serene beauty, but also for their enticing fragrance. One whiff of their perfume, and you just know itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Easter! I have been unable to find exactly when lilies were first grown commercially for the Easter season, but old growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; records from the 1920s indicate that at that time, they were in production in North America. The lily was chosen because of its long, pure white trumpets, enticing perfume, and its ability to be forced into bloom for Brian a specific season. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Croftâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was one MINTER of the first varieties selected, and I can remember my father growing them back in the early â&#x20AC;&#x2122;50s. They were lovely but, very much like early poinsettias, it was a trick to keep the foliage on until Easter. In the â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Ace Lilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was introduced, and later â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Nellie Whiteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, which is one of the finest longiflorum varieties. Today, virtually all Easter lily bulbs are grown in Oregon. Quality bulbs make the difference between success and failure for many lily growers, so it is always a mad scramble to harvest the

LILIES from p33 bulbs at the right time and have them shipped immediately to the growersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; cold storage facilities to begin a pre-cooling process. The forcing period for lilies is about 100 days, and timing is everything. There is not a huge demand for Easter lilies on Easter Monday. With the Easter season changing each year and with variable weather

factors, it is a tricky business. Because of the many temperature fluctuations during the forcing period, it is important to keep your lily as cool as possible in your home. They love an east or north window. Water them thoroughly, then let them dry out only slightly before you water again. If you keep them too wet or too dry, the bottom leaves will yellow and fall off. As each flower

finishes, cut it off to keep the plant looking fresh. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also a good idea to pick out the yellow anthers as each blossom opens to prevent them discolouring the pure white blooms and to protect all those noses that venture near to smell the lovely perfume from getting a dusting of yellow pollen. More importantly, it saves a dry cleaning bill if the pollen gets on your clothes. Easter lilies are not true hardy bulbs, but

BC OPE

they can be planted outside in a protected area to build up the bulbs for next year. You will often be treated to a second flowering this fall if you are lucky. Oriental lilies, like â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mona Lisaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Stargazerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, are beautiful alternatives to Easter lilies. They both come in lovely shades of pink and are highly perfumed. After flowering, they can be planted in your garden with your other hardy lilies for a beautiful display year after year. Lilies are only available for the next few days, so if you would love to fill your home with their amazing perfume, do pick one up to celebrate Easter.

Great Cloth Diaper Change set for April 21 E A S T E R B R U N C H The diapers are coming off. For the second year in a row, Chilliwack moms will be partaking in the Great Cloth Diaper Change on April 21. Instead of wrapping their babes up in disposable diapers, they’ll be swaddling them in cloth diapers in an effort to raise awareness around the mounds of disposable diapers stacking up in landfills. “Each year billions of disposable diapers enter landfills where it takes hundreds of years for them to decompose,” said Heather McNamara, executive director of the Real Diaper Exchange, a non-profit association that started the international event last year. The average baby goes through a conservative 3,000 diapers a year, times that by three years, and just one baby alone is contributing to at least 9,000 disposable diapers ending up in the landfills. According to Environment Canada,

more than four million disposable diapers are discarded per day in Canada; that’s approximately 1.7 billion a year that will sit in landfills for hundreds of years before breaking down. The Great Cloth Diaper Change is hoping to change that. “We hope to show the entire world that cloth diapers are a real option for today’s modern fami-

event will take place at the Mathieson Centre, located at 45195 Wells Road, at 9 a.m. on April 21. To date, more than 50 mom and baby pairs are registered.

lies, particularly catching the eye of expecting and new parents who may be seeking more planet-friendly and affordable alternatives to disposable diapers,” said McNamara. Last year The Great Cloth Diaper Change had 6,363 total participants from 203 sites in 10 countries. This year, it’s hoping for more. In Chilliwack, the

Chilliwack Community Services is a not-for-profit, charitable organization that has served Chilliwack since 1928. Over the years, we have grown and evolved to meet the social needs of a growing population and the changing demographics of the community. Although our original mandate to help people in need continues to be the constant thread running throughout all we do, the scope of our programming is significantly broader and far reaching. Keeping the community informed of program options available is part of that mandate. Every two weeks for the next twelve months in this newspaper spot, Chilliwack Community Services will be introducing to you a few of its current services, and sharing some of the encouraging stories from people who have participated in one or more of our programs. We will also be inviting you to learn more about the organization through upcoming events and fundraising activities.

James Challman, Executive Director

We hope you find the information helpful, insightful, and enlightening.

Family Literacy “It has helped get me back to being the real me!” My name is Julie Murphy and I am the mother of a ten year old girl. We moved to Chilliwack March of 2011. I am unable to work due to a severe car accident in 2007 where I sustained multiple permanent injuries. After I was done with a 10½ year unhealthy abusive relationship, I chose to create a positive life for us. I had always loved school. Through growing up without parents and in Ministry care, school was the one thing every day that brought a smile to my face. As I was not able to return to my previous employment, I had wanted to go back to school for so long and had been looking for a program to upgrade my skills. My problem was I am a single parent on disability. I needed flexibility with hours. I wanted to work part time as well. I wanted to include creative writing as well in my schooling, and math, parenting skills, a bit of everything. Then I found Families in Motion and it was everything I was looking for and more; and the amazing facilitators us students could hope for. This program It has helped me rebuild myself. When I started the program I was unable to write. When I was a kid I wrote over 300 hundred poems and short stories. Through my abusive relationship, I stopped writing. Now my pen won’t stop moving. I can now express my thoughts and feelings. I can set goals for myself. It has even helped my relationships in my personal life with assertive skills and my parenting skills. This program is the best program I have ever come across and is beneficial for anyone who needs to brush up their skills, who has hit a barrier in their life in their life or just simply needs to upgrade. The Families in Motion program has been successful for the last twenty years and I believe has benefited so many people at so many different levels as I know from my own experience in being in this program. It has helped get me back to being the real me!!!

explained. From there, Dave took on a job as manager of a video store. “I was renting Beta and VHS videos and I also convinced Apple to allow us to become an Apple dealer. I bought one of the original 128K Mac computers. Too bad I didn’t hold on to it,” he chuckled. After two years in the video business, he was recruited and subsequently hired by Xerox as a territory sales rep. “I did this for 18 years and sure made a lot of money. This was a fabulous opportunity and the training was great. I learned so much and although I liked it from that perspective, I didn’t love it. In my mind, I was always working so hard for someone else and I began thinking of working for myself.” Then, nine years ago, the opportunity to purchase Chilliwack’s HarleyDavidson dealership presented itself and Dave jumped on it. “We sold our house in Calgary, we sold our vehicles, cashed in our RRSPs and convinced a couple of people to invest in this incredible brand and moved here in January 2003. We purchased the business three months later and opened up Mountainview Harley-Davidson Chilliwack which was formerly Harley-Davidson of Chilliwack. I must admit that we’ve never looked back. I love coming to work and I love what I do. We employ 14 people and they are incredible. We really are blessed to have such a great team,” he enthused. Mountainview HarleyDavidson is not just a motorcycle shop; it’s a Harley-Davidson retail store and truly an experience. When I walked in, I was quite surprised. I must admit that I was expecting a stereotypical motorcycle shop but what I found was a large store filled with tons of products that would appeal to both hard-core riders as well as those that just want to be part of the brand. Quite aside from his work, Dave loves spending time, at home, with his family. He credits his wife, Lori, with so much of their success and speaks glowingly of her accomplishments. “My family is the most important thing to me. I also enjoy woodworking in my spare time and I value our community. As a company, we are and will continue to be supporters of those things that are relevant and important to our community,” he ended.

Crusaders crush Bruins

The Chilliwack Crusaders earned their second win of the senior men’s rugby spring schedule Saturday, blanking the Ridge Meadows Bruins 19-0 at Sardis secondary

school. The Crusaders got off to a strong start, opening the scoring when Lozz Davies broke through the defensive line. Pat Gallagher provided good support on the play, but the Crusaders failed to convert the try. Strong play by Chris Veenstra earned him forward of the match honours, and it was a Veenstra run setting up another Davies try just before half-time. This convert was

successful, sending Chilliwack to the break with a 12-0 lead. The Bruins upped their physical play in the second half, crashing into Crusaders at every opportunity. Ridge Meadows came close to scoring a couple times, only to be pushed back by the Crusader line. With the clock ticking down, Andrew Zimmer caught a nice ball from Brian Harding and ran in for the final Chilliwack try. The convert wrapped

up the scoring. Beck Forman and Jordan Aleck-Kiahu were unsung heroes, with hard running and sure tackling. Nick Hyde was the back of the match, using slick footwork to punch holes in the Ridge Meadows D. After the Easter break, the Crusaders return to action April 14, taking on Capilano in the final game of the season. Chilliwack has two wins and five losses thus far.

Unity Christian wants provincials in Chilliwack Golfing tech talk Unity Christian School hosted the 1A boys high school basketball provincials Mar. 6-10 on the campus of Trinity Western University. For 10 years, the school has wanted to host provincials. With the UC boys making three straight trips to provincials, the time was right. A committee of former players, parents, grandparents, and teachers spent a full year planning out the event. Their efforts paid off with a tournament that literally went off without a hitch. “Our committee wanted to put all proceeds raised back into the event, giving us the luxury of offering a first class banquet and a spectacular coaches/ referees room,” said UC vice principal Mike

Campbell. “The tournament showcased some great basketball, with all four quarter-final games going down to the wire. And we had over 1,000 people attend the final.” Teams from as far away as Dawson and Bella Bella played in the tournament. “We do an excellent job of keeping our alumni and former parents close to Unity after graduation,” Campbell said. “When I announced that we were approved to host provincials, I immediately had a large number of them offering to help.” So impressed were the visiting schools that they unanimously asked UC to host next year’s tournament. B.C. Boys Basketball asks that provincial tournaments occur at university, college or major sports complexes. That’s why UC had to host at the Langley campus of TWU. But Campbell hopes to find some leeway to bring the tournament

into Chilliwack. “We explored hosting the championship at the Cheam Center, but quickly found that the costs were too high, and we were able to secure TWU for 25 per cent of the cost that Cheam would have been,” he said, noting similar cost savings had the tournament been held at the University of the Fraser Valley or Columbia Bible College. “Mayor Sharon Gaetz was very supportive and helpful in trying to find a facility, but we ran out of options.” According to Campbell, other places (Langley included) have incentive programs to help draw big sporting events. “It is possible that we could host the event at Prospera Centre,” he surmised. “BC Boys Basketball does have access to a full size court which is installed for the 3A tournament at the Langley Events Center. It might be possible to install it in Prospera Centre, and maybe

even host both the guys and the girls, bringing in 32 teams. Hopefully, at some point, the city will create an incentive program or be able to cut the rental costs on a non-profit event that brings a significant financial impact to the City of Chilliwack. This

partnership seems like a win win.” ● UC fell short of their basketball goals at the 2012 tournament, but Nathan Vugteveen received Unity’s first ever provincial all-star award)

Save time, save money.

Over the last decade, golfers have been advised to seek out custom-fit equipment to optimize their body type and swing. Since then, we’ve seen the birth of adjustable golf club technology for drivers, metal woods and hybrids. Over the last three years, the industry has been flooded with this amazing technology. But what’s all the buzz about? Where once golfers were stuck with an overthe-counter ‘stock’ golf club, they now have the ability to have a custom fit golf club in the palm of their hand. With up to 80 variations in one golf club, creating an optimal golf club has never been easier. Adjustable golf clubs offer a number of tunable settings, including the club’s loft, sole plate, and center of gravity. With the ability to easily adjust these settings, golfers can optimize their clubs to suit the needs of their swings. They can hit longer and straighter shots while improving their spin rate and launch angle. When looking for an adjustable driver in metal, wood or hybrid, here are some things to look for:

Sole Plate: Opening or closing the club can help improve the way the club looks at setup, as well as the position of the club face at impact.

The Chilliwack Golf and Country Club’s head instructor will drop by every other week to provide insight on all things golf. This week, a look at custom clubs.

Loft: By adjusting the club’s loft, golfers tune the club to better control the flight of their shots to higher or lower trajectories. By optimizing this setting, golfers can achieve more carry and distance.

Why Easter

Do you remember when we had Easter Holidays?

Answers in classifieds

1. What country first used eggs to represent the resurrection of Christ? 2. What is Pysanka? 3. What part of the chocolate Easter bunny is normally eaten first? 4. What did European monks create as an Easter treat? CoffeeBreak is sponsored by:

Trivia Talk According to the Venerable Bebe Easter derives its name from Eostre, an Anglo-Saxon goddess of spring. A month corresponding to April had been named “Eostremonat,” or Eostre’s month, leading to “Easter” becoming applied to the Christian holiday that usually took place within it. Prior to that, the holiday had been called Pasch (Passover), which remains its name in most non-English languages.

✞ Obituaries BEATON Penny (Penalope) Lyndia

nee: Riddle It is with sorrowful hearts that we announce the passing of our precious Penny. She was born BEATON June 1, 1952 deceased March 30, 2012. Penny was born in Vernon to John and Emma Riddle. All of her growing up years were spent in Falkland, BC. Penny attended Falkland Elementary School, J.L. Jackson Jr. High and graduated from Salmon Arm Senior Secondary. Upon graduation Penny promptly spread her wings to ﬂy from the small hamlet of Falkland to the metropolis of Chilliwack where she has enjoyed her adult life. Penny’s full time employment began at Holder’s Stationery and from there she launched into banking, being employed for many years at the Fraser Valley Credit Union. Her last employer was Chilliwack Society for Community Living where she was sometimes known as Paycheck Penny. Penny leaves behind her loving husband of 26 years, Larry Beaton and the pride of her life her only child Emma Rose Beaton/Aric Allan and his daughter Avery. The last few years Penny’s prize possession and greatest joy has come through her grandson Jaydon Materi whom she loved dearly. She leaves to mourn her father, four sisters, numerous nieces, nephews and cousins as well as numerous in-laws. In lieu of ﬂowers donations may be made to BC Children’s Hospital. A memorial service will be held at the Royal Canadian Legion Vedder Golden Branch 280 at 12:00 pm on April 13, 2012.

NUGENT L. Peter

Born Nov. 28, 1937 in Dublin, Ireland, left us suddenly on March 26, 2012 in Chilliwack B.C. NUGENT Peter is survived by his loving wife Sandra, his children whom reside in England: Simon (Apparna), James (Pim), Joanne (Thad), Sean and grandchildren Akshay, Prarphana, Emily, Charlotte, Victoria, Samantha, Asreal and his Canadian family: Jim, Randy, Kim (Stephen), Judi (Tony), Nikki (Randy) and grandchildren Michael, Stuart, Stephanie (Kyle), Dylan, Darrell and great-granddaughter Stephanie. Peters’ love of ships and the sea started when his father, who was a customs officer in Castletown Bere, Ireland, put Peter on his shoulders while his father inspected the ships. Peter’s first ship was a Lugger out of Castletown Bere where he worked as a Cabin Boy between the ages of 8-10 years. There was no holding Peter back at this point! He continually ran away to the sea and ships. When Peter was 10, he was sent to his grandfather Sean who lived at White Swan Cottage, where his love of poetry and history of Alaska and the Yukon were taught to him by his grandfather. When Peter was 16, he joined the Royal Navy where he served for 22 years. Next was the Merchant Navy, where Peter was employed by Kuwait. Peter arrived in Canada where he met Sandy on November 11, 1980. They married in January of 1981. Peter’s love of helping people led him to operating Upper Valley Recovery Society with the help of many friends and his wife Sandy. So we give a special shout out to all friends of Bill W. Peter touched many lives and was never too busy to offer help to anyone who needed a car fixed, a ride or a hand up. During November, Peter helped raise money by selling poppies for the Royal Canadian Legion in Chilliwack. Peter will be deeply missed by family and friends and our memories will be of a caring man who always thought of others before himself. We will miss you Poppa. Many thanks to Jim and Don at Pick-a-Part (We will be cashing in our shares now!), the Doctors and staff at Royal Columbian Hospital who gave us an extra 17 years with Peter, Dr. Ho, Dr. Sun, nurses at Chilliwack Hospital, Patricia at Guangzhou Herbs and to Shane at Henderson’s Funeral Home for his kindness and understanding. Viewing on Thursday, April 5, between 5 and 7 p.m. at Henderson’s Funeral Home at 45901 Victoria Avenue in Chilliwack. The Wake will be on Saturday, April 7, at 11:00 a.m. at Oddfellows Hall located at 46008 Reece Avenue in Chilliwack. Please bring all your funny stories to share with family and friends. ERIN GO BRAUGH!!
