New year brings new roundabouts Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Properties along Prest Road are being purchased by City of Chilliwack this month to smooth the way for future roundabout construction and road widening. It’s the first stage of multi-million dollar project for Prest Road between Bailey and Prairie Central Road geared to addressing Chilliwack’s north/ south traffic problem going to and from Promontory. Traffic volumes are almost evenly split on the two north/south corridors up the hill, but they’re getting to the point where they’ll require relief in the form of road improvements, say engineering officials. The goal is increasing both capacity and safety for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. They’ll also add bike lanes and two single-lane roundabouts, at Bailey Road, and the other at Prairie Central, and eventually one at McGuire. Property purchases for the first couple of roundabouts on Prest could take several months to complete, said city staff, and they will work with about 10 local property owners on those issues. After the property acquisitions, they begin Hydro and Telus pole relocations, which can take up to a year, followed by the Prest roundabout reconstruction which should begin in 2015.

Anyone who has service in their heart Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The Salvation Army Church on Brooks Avenue was bustling Tuesday as volunteers packed food hampers to make Christmas Day brighter for more than 1,600 people in Chilliwack. The food hampers include the makings for a delicious Christmas dinner with all the fixings for the whole family, as well as breakfast and lunch ingredients, says hamper program coordinator Brenda Armstrong.

day hampers for the hungry at Sally Ann for a whopping 29 years. “The numbers of applicants have obviously increased over the years, but we are also finding that more seniors are in need now.” Single parents applying for a hamper is also on the rise. “There are some volunteers who only show up at this time of year,” she said. “Some have been helping with the hampers for 20 years. We have prison guards, firefighters, guides and scouts, and more.
“Anyone who has service in their hearts tends to show up,” Armstrong added. About 100 volunteers stepped up to help with the 1,600 hampers, which make it possible for folks to put on a lovely Christmas celebration for their families. About 255 families were sponsored in the Adopt-AFamily program. The program serves local families in need, and they start taking applications every November, and are still taking them this week. The program is paid for by Sally Ann donations
and hamper program sponsors. The program runs in partnership with Chilliwack Community Services, which provides the toys for the Christmas hampers. The whole hamper process has its bright spots, Armstrong said. “It’s the thank-yous you get, the smiles on the faces when they’re picking up the hampers, or the joy when an adopted family finds out they have been sponsored. These are the moments all the way long that can warm your heart.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Enbridge pipeline approved, with 209 conditions Tom Fletcher Black Press A federal environmental review panel has recommended Enbridge’s Northern Gateway heavy oil pipeline can proceed if 209 conditions on environmental protection are met. After 18 months of submissions from experts and the public, the National Energy Board Joint Review Panel concluded the benefits of a twin pipeline from northern Alberta to a proposed tanker facility at Kitimat outweigh the risks. Its two-volume report was released Thursday in Calgary. “The environmental, societal and economic burdens of a
large oil spill, while unlikely and not permanent, would be significant,” the panel concluded in its report. “Through our conditions we require Northern Gateway to implement appropriate and effective spill prevention measures and spill response capabilities, so that the likelihood and consequences of a large spill would be minimized.” The panel said there would be significant effect on some populations of woodland caribou and grizzly bear, and uncertainty remains over the effectiveness of Enbridge’s plans to minimize the disruption the pipeline would cause. “It is our view that, after mitigation, the likelihood of significant adverse environmental effects
resulting from project malfunctions or accidents is very low,” the report states. Conditions include protection plans for whales and other marine mammals, measures to protect caribou and other land animals and development of methods to track and deal with diluted bitumen spills. Federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver reiterated his position that “no energy project will be approved unless it is safe for Canadians and safe for the environment.” The federal cabinet must make a final decision on federal permits for the project by July 2014. B.C. Environment Minister Mary Polak said approval by the federal panel meets one of its five
dence that this work is going to be achieved.” Janet Holder, Enbridge’s project leader for Northern Gateway, said the company will work to meet the federal panel conditions, and those laid down by the B.C. government. Northern Gateway has reached equity partnership agreements with 26 aboriginal communities along the pipeline route, but many others remain opposed. “The Yinka Dene Alliance has clearly refused permission for Enbridge’s pipelines to cut through our lands and waters,” said Chief Martin Louie of the Nadleh Whut’en First Nation, speaking on behalf of the northern B.C.-based alliance.
conditions, but doesn’t change the province’s position against the pipeline until its other four are met. They include satisfying legal obligations to consult and accommodate aboriginal communities and developing “world leading” safety and spill response on land and at sea. “Now we have Alberta’s agreement for the five conditions, the federal government is talking about the importance of weighing the environment in the balance, and even Enbridge is talking about the importance of the environment in this equation,” Polak said. We believe we’ve made progress in highlighting the very important steps that are going to need to be taken … but we need to see evi-
Repair bill waived for struggling dad Jennifer Feinberg The Progress For Derek Wardas of Chilliwack, the act of kindness shown to him by a local business this week was a bit of a Christmas miracle. He’s a single dad on disability who had some car trouble — just before Christmas. When he pulled into his dealership, it sounded like a shrieking cat under the hood. Initially he was told the repairs would be about $425 by the folks at Murray Honda, which is all the cash he had. But when he arrived to pick up his vehicle and pay Nothing like the bill, he found it had been that has ever taken care of by service happened to manager Sheldon Gailing. “It’s a Christmas mirame before cle,” Wardas exclaimed. “Nothing like that has ~ Derek ever happened to me before.” Wardas He was so happy to get his car back, vacuumed and detailed. “It was beautiful. This made it possible for us to have a happy Christmas this year.” But it’s not quite as miraculous as all that, Gailing told The Progress. The thing is, Wardas’ vehicle was almost 20 years old. “When you have a car that old, loads of things can go wrong,” he said. They thought maybe a distributor gear needed to be replaced, which accounts for the initial repair estimate. But it turned out to be less complicated than that, with no parts needed, just the labour costs. So Gailing decided to waive the cost. “It wasn’t that big a deal, so why not?” Gailing said. “If it made him feel a lot better, I’m glad.”

Lynnwood residents make dreams come true Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The seniors at Lynnwood Retirement Residence had a blast making Christmas dreams come true for one Chilliwack family. It’s the second year in a row the Lynnwood has participated in the Adopt-A-Family program by Salvation Army Chilliwack, says Lynnwood spokesperson Marie Lashley. “It’s such a great way to support local families. There are always so many in need,”
she says. “It’s also a lot of fun.” Lashley has long been a fan of the good works done by Sally Ann, and through Adopt-A-Family they opted to sponsor a family of four in Chilliwack, with two children and both parents on disability. To prepare, the residents chipped in cash donations from fundraisers and a bin was put out in the lobby throughout the year to collect foodstuffs to fill their sponsored family’s Christmas hamper.
“We were able to raise enough money to buy a mountain bike for each of the two little girls, as well as some pretty hair accessories and leisure centre passes.” The mom and dad will also get a gift card from Walmart to buy each other a little something. Sally Ann provides every Adopt-A-Family sponsor with a family profile including kids’ ages, some gift ideas, and a list of food items. The sponsors are then responsible for purchasing the food and gifts,
making a $25 donation for the turkey voucher, and transporting all the items to the Salvation Army Church the week before Christmas. The sponsored family doesn’t know what’s in store for them. All the recipients have been screened to make sure there are no repeats. “The families don’t know that they have been chosen,” she said. “They think they’re just coming in to pick up some food.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Canadian Blood Ser vices is urging Chilliwack residents to donate blood during the holiday season and give someone a miracle. CBS has launched its annual Holiday Miracle campaign (Dec. 2, 2013 to Jan. 4, 2014) and is counting on Canadians to help it collect more than 75,500 blood donations nationally and 14,400 locally to help meet hospital needs. Locally, there are two upcoming blood donor clinics, both of which still have spots open to donate. Next week’s clinics fall on Monday, Dec. 23 (1:30 to 7:30 p.m.) and Friday, Dec. 27 (noon to 5 p.m.) at Broadway Church (46611 Maple Ave.). CBS is in great need of blood donors especially on Dec. 27 as there are still more than 60 appointments open. “Holiday miracles do exist,” said Nancy

Bryan, a partnership specialist with Canadian Blood Services. “The generosity of one stranger to another in our clinics often means helping to save a stranger’s life.” Blood is a lifeline for many people during the festive season, including individuals living with leukemia, women who require blood products to save the life of their baby, or car accident victims with major bleeding. “During the holiday season many organizations and individuals are looking for a way to give back. They can save many lives by adopting a clinic and asking their contacts to book a time to donate,” said Bryan. “A blood donation is the perfect gift. It costs nothing and it’ll give someone a miracle this holiday season.” B.C. residents can book a donation appointment by visiting www.blood.ca or calling 1-888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283). Note: Some blood donors cancel their appointments at the last minute. If you call one or two days before the clinic date, there is still a chance to book an appointment.

The Progress They had a goal of 3,000, but are well on their way to surpassing 4,000. For three years, the leadership class at Mount Cheam Christian School has organized a week long Christmas Food Drive for Ruth and Naomi’s Mission, with students challenging their peers to raise the most canned food items possible. On Wednesday afternoon, early estimates had the school at more than 3,400 food items – the most the school has raised to date. “And we’ve still got [uncounted] food all over the school,” said teacher Ron Neels. “We’re going to fly pass 4,000 guaranteed.” Impressive given the school is in the midst of a major $4 million fundraising campaign for a new building, and that it just came off a $19,000 fundraising drive for BC Children’s Hospital. “It’s a real part of the whole school culture,” said Neels. “It’s important for us to show students how they can

help, to put our words into action. We’re helping the less fortunate, not in Africa, not in India, but right here in our own community. We’re helping people in our own backyard.” The message has hit home with the student body. While many likely raided their parents’ pantries, some took it upon themselves
– using their own money – to acquire the foods. Tuesday evening Neels took eight students, who had pooled their money together, to the grocery store. In a half an hour, they filled three shopping carts containing 660 food items worth over $400. The energy has been contagious. “It’s a rush – they’re
on a high,” said Neels. “As a Christian school, obviously our reasoning is love your neighbour. To watch [these students] come back so successful is very rewarding. It’s a really, really satisfying and gratifying feeling.” The school will be handing over the collected items to Ruth and Naomi’s today, Friday. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Tom Fletcher B.C.’s Auditor General has found no political interference in the government’s 2010 decision to forgive $6 million in legal defence costs for former ministerial aides Dave Basi and Bobby Virk. The legal costs decision was announced two days after Basi and Virk pleaded guilty to one count each of breach of trust and accepting benefits, after seven years of investigation into their role in leaking confidential information on bids for the sale of BC Rail assets. The guilty pleas, on the eve of testimony by former cabinet ministers, prompted the audit to examine the decision to waive collection of the legal fees. That was contrary to the existing policy that while the government would cover legal defence costs for its employees, that money would be recovered if employees were found guilty. In a report released Wednesday, acting Auditor General Russ Jones conclud-
ed that the plea bargain and fee relief were proposed to the Legal Services Branch of the Attorney General’s ministry by Basi and Virk’s defence lawyers. The final decision was made by the former deputy attorney general and deputy minister of finance, with politicians purposely excluded. “The decision was an economic decision,” Jones said. “It was to save money.” The government had spent $6 million to date and would be putting up another $2 million for defence bills if the trial had continued. Combined prosecution and defence costs were costing taxpayers $15,000 for each day of a trial expected to take six months. The audit noted that Basi and Virk’s combined assets were valued at $400,000. The B.C. government not only covers legal costs for its employees, but for defendants in large criminal trials who can’t afford their own defence. Fees were paid for convicted serial killer Robert William Pickton and for Jamie Bacon, one of the accused in the current Surrey Six murder case.

Fees persuade most of the final smart meter holdouts Black Press BC Hydro’s imposition of manual meter reading fees has persuaded most holdouts to accept a wireless smart meter. BC Hydro imposed a $35 monthly fee starting Dec. 1 for customers who refuse to part with their mechanical electricity meters, after offering the 68,000 customers who still had them
the option of accepting the new meter with the radio transmission function on or off. BC Hydro reported the results this week to the B.C. Utilities Commission (BCUC), which is reviewing the fees. More than 48,000 customers chose the smart meter to avoid the meter reading fee. Another 450 chose the radio-off meter, which comes with a $100 setup fee and $20 a month starting April 1 to cover
costs of collecting readings. Another 6,270 customers chose to keep their mechanical meters, and 13,110 more did not respond to BC Hydro’s letters, so they will have the $35 fee added to their bills until they choose another option. BC Hydro reports that 99 per cent of its customers now have the wireless meter. Most of those have been switched to automat-

Agassiz couple plead guilty to smuggling cash Jonna and Robert Booth, from Agassiz, have both now plead guilty to bulk cash smuggling into the United States. The couple will face a judge for sentencing in North Dakota on Jan. 23. Court documents obtained by Black Press show that the Booths will plead that they entered North Dakota from Canada with the intent to evade a currency reporting requirement, and knowingly hid more than the allowed $10,000. They were carrying $73,080, hidden in a panel of their camper. They are facing a jail term of five years, a fine of $250,000 and one year of supervised release. Because of their guilty plea, there will be no trial. Their agreement to plead guilty could lessen their imprisonment time. Jonna and Robert Booth’s troubles began when they attempted to cross the border into Northgate, North Dakota on Oct. 8. They were traveling in a 1999 Coach Camper, and were
ed billing, and have their daily electricity use displayed on their online account pages. Claims of health effects from wireless meter transmissions have been rejected by health authorities, and also by the BCUC in a review of FortisBC’s wireless meter program. BCUC found that the radio frequency signal from a bank of smart meters is less than 10 per cent of the natural back-
chosen for a secondary inspection. An inspection of the vehicle revealed the cash stowed away in a panel of the camper. The Booths were immediately separated and detained. While they both initially claimed to officers that the money was won gambling, Mrs. Booth is said to have changed her story when officers told her they found her journal, and knew that the money was actually from the sale of marijuana. Booth then told officers the couple had endured financial hardship, and in January this year they had began running drugs to Manitoba about once a month. She could not say how much marijuana had been transported, and how much they had made. They had crossed into the U.S. to avoid traveling through the Rockies, after learning of poor weather in that area. They had just finished transporting an unknown amount of marijuana, stowed under their front seats as they traveled across Canada, to a house in Winnipeg.

Citizens for Safe Technology, one of the more active opponents of the wireless grid, was represented at the FortisBC hearings by Donald Maisch. BCUC rejected Maisch’s claims of health hazards, noting that Maisch’s “consulting livelihood depends on public fears and concerns about radio frequency exposure.”

Stay healthy for the holidays
SEEKING APPLICATIONS FOR 2013/14
Throughout the holiday season and during the winter months, emergency departments are extremely busy and visits can increase dramatically. Doctor’s offices and pharmacies are often closed or have reduced hours over the holidays. Fraser Health is reminding the public to take a few simple steps to avoid unnecessary trips to the hospital. • For non-urgent care during office hours, call your family doctor or the doctor on call for the practice or clinic. • Consider going to a local walk-in clinic. Call ahead to check the clinic’s hours. • Try to see your doctor before the holidays, if you have any developing health concerns. • Know the holiday hours for your local pharmacy or drug store, and ensure your prescriptions are up to date and filled prior to the holidays. • Call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 for confidential health information and non-emergency services 24 hours a day, seven days a week. For deaf and hearingimpaired assistance (TTY), call 7-1-1. • If you are concerned about a possible poisoning or exposure to a toxic substance, call Poison Control at 1-800-567-8911. “Over the holidays we see spikes in the number of patient visits to our emergency departments and sometimes these visits can be avoided by simply planning ahead,” says Dr. Anne Clarke, Program Medical Director for Emergency Services at Fraser Health. “We use a triage system in the emergency to ensure priority is given to those patients requiring the most urgent care. Of course, we do remind patients that if at any time they feel they need urgent medical attention, they should immediately go to the emergency department or call 9-1-1”

News Kids, happy hour coming to B.C. pubs Black Press The B.C. government has uncorked another round of liquor law reform, with children to be allowed in pubs and restaurants allowed to serve drinks without food. Premier Christy Clark announced the changes at a downtown Vancouver restaurant Tuesday, as the provincial cabinet works its way through a list of 70 recommendations from a recent public consultation on updating B.C. liquor laws. As with earlier rounds of liquor reform, Tuesday’s event was short on details and long on populist appeal. Some time next year B.C. will see the changes, and will also join all other Canadian provinces in allowing pubs to offer discounted drinks for happy hour. Permitted times and a minimum drink price are still to be determined. Children are to be allowed to accompany their parents into pubs up until an evening curfew time, also yet to be determined, but Clark said it will allow families to have lunch or dinner together at a pub. Royal Canadian Legion branches will have the same freedom to admit under-age family members. Restaurants with “food primary” licences will still have to offer a full menu when liquor is available, Clark said, “but customers who don’t want to order food shouldn’t be forced to do so, and food primary businesses that want to fully transition away from food service after a certain hour, and operate for example as a night club, will be able to apply for a special licence to do so.” NDP critic Shane Simpson said the changes effectively erase the distinction between a licensed restaurant and a pub, and are being announced for popular effect without any research to support them. The province also intends to make its Serving it Right liquor training to all servers in licensed restaurants, as well as staff at B.C.

’Twas the week before Christmas and the bars, they were hopping hoping to catch patrons who’d finished their shopping. When all of a sudden, what should appear but B.C. liquor law changes for much cheaper beer. Old Mrs. Claus — or Premier Christy Clark — said “Happy hours for all, kids in pubs — what a lark!” The chorus was merry, “Common sense!” went the cheer, let’s have another round of that much cheaper beer. And the tots on the bar stools, their eyes all aglow, were sipping their milk with parents in tow. “A small whiskey chaser with my brew,” Dad did sing, while dear, gentle Mom shouted, “Singapore Sling.” Then as soon as the clock sounded the chime, the kids and their parents knew it was time. They hopped in the Caravan while slipping a fiver into the hands of their designated driver. Then we heard the brood exclaim as they drove out of sight, “Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!” ~ Black Press
L OCALLY G LOBAL
Challenging our Western concepts of Christmas A brouhaha erupted on CNN last week after Fox news anchor Megyn Kelly argued that both Santa Claus and Jesus are white. Huh? Apparently the whole feisty debate (not to mention comical) was sparked by a somewhat satirical article by culture blogger Aisha Harris in Slate magazine when she wrote that Santa needed to dump his fat old white guy image and adopt something less “melanin-deficient” to serve all children of all cultures and creeds. No real argument there if you check out Santa’s origins. Santa Claus, from the Dutch Sinterklaas, was originally modelled on Saint Nicholas, the fourth century AD Greek Bishop of Myra (part of Turkey) who, with his Mediterranean/Asia Minor origins, was dark skinned. In Russia he is a patron saint
of merchants and icons clearly depict him as a dark guy. Saint Nicholas was also the patron of children and mariners and his gift-giving reputation probably came from a habit of leaving coins in shoes placed to catch his attention. He definitely wasn’t por tly. Most of Saint Margaret Nicholas’ bones EVANS have been preserved in a grave crypt in Bari, Italy. They were photographed and measured in the 1950s during the chapel’s restoration. That data was sent to a forensics laboratory in England in 2006 when scientists calculated that Saint Nicholas was in fact barely five feet in height and had a broken nose. Don’t ask why.
The uproar over Jesus’ skin colour speaks to the fact that most in the Western world know that a Jew from Nazareth definitely wasn’t white. Despite the flowing goldilocks depicted in stylized art over the past millennia, the real Jesus was a Middle Eastern Jew of sufficiently dark complexion that did not required any comment to the contrary in the Bible. In Italy, the Holy Face of Lucca is a venerated wooden carving of a crucifix showing a black Jesus fully robed and nailed to the cross. Medieval legends claim the carving to be the most accurate image of Christ. As for his actual build, coming from the construction trade with friends in the fishing industry, I would think Jesus was pretty muscular. I’m no Bible-thumper but, after a bit of checking, wasn’t it the trustworthy apostle Paul

who wrote in 1 Corinthians that if a man had long hair, it was a disgrace to him? Jesus’ hair, true to his matriarchal heritage at least, would have likely been short, black and curly. I can’t vouch for his Dad. But here’s the uncomfortable kicker. The matters of race and religion have always been potent fodder in white North America. In past centuries when blacks were slaves, the whole idea of white Christians and upper class Protestants in Europe and the New World kneeling before the image of someone of colour didn’t cut it for them. Back in the day, they had grand ideals of Christians and conquest and empire building. Heathen religions were routinely stamped on. Was that mentality of whiteness so racist as to obliterate the true likeness of Jesus?

A decade ago, Israeli and British forensic anthropologists together with computer programmers worked with an Israeli skull from the first century to reconstruct what a typical face of the day would have looked like. They used archaeological and anatomical science, clay, simulated skin and knowledge of Jewish people of the time to create the most accurate image of Jesus. From all their research, they produced a black haired, dark skinned, dark eyed, muscular guy just over five feet tall. With no grave, no bones, no skull, and no DNA evidence, the true image of Jesus will never be known. Maybe that’s not a bad thing. His image will forever endure deep in people’s hearts.

RCMP academy a worthwhile cost Re: School Board denies funding to RCMP Youth Academy (Chilliwack Progress, Dec. 5). I am ver y disappointed to hear Silvia Dyck’s comment on the choosing to refuse future funding for the RCMP Youth Academy program. This program has run for several years and has provided many life lessons to those that have participated. It is my understanding
many graduates of the program have gone on to careers not only with the RCMP but Corrections Canada, the Canadian military and many others. For the small investment of $100 per student I feel this decision by the board is very short sighted and disappointing. I would also like to point out that my son completed this program and was asked along with the other Chilliwack graduates

Christmas! from
that year to share their experiences with the board. Following the presentation by the participants and the RCMP volunteers the board voiced their support for such a well run & useful program; “money well spent for our students”. Why now are the board members reversing their opinion?
Cottonwood
Deborah Edwards
Funding RCMP academy will help students A proposal to assist maybe eight students to the tune of $100 each so they could attend the RCMP Youth Academy was rejected by a 5-2 vote by our school trustees recently who said that it ‘would be a slippery slope’ to start directly funding programs such as this type of work experience. (Chilliwack Progress, Dec. 5). In the meantime the
same board passed a $569,000 financial/ human resources information system. The board quickly approved and were told by the secretarytreasurer “these type of systems pay for themselves many times over...”. All we needed was for the secretary-treasurer to say “I personally guarantee it” just like the guy on TV with the sure fire invest-
ment system. I can’t help but wonder if any of the trustees could explain the full ramifications of this type of expenditure and what it involves and how it will improve education for the student in the classroom and what extra costs will have to be absorbed to implement this piece of technological mumbo jumbo. Meanwhile, a hun-
dred bucks per student to help a small number attend a well disciplined, well run educational camp which can do nothing but help the students is turned down. What’s wrong with this picture? Or is there really something wrong with helping students that I’m not seeing?

Seniors have done without door-to-door before It seems the best argument against the recent cancelling of urban house to house mail delivery is that it leaves seniors out in the cold, plowing through the snowdrifts and bitter wind
to get to the “super” mailbox. May I point out that years ago there was also daily house to house deliver y of milk and bread. Those too were dropped for the same reason - because it
was no longer economically viable. How did the seniors cope when that happened? They just did. Eileen Wright Chilliwack, BC

Get priorities straight at Christmas Should we receive gifts at Christmas or is it a colossal waste of time, energy and money? Think about the millions of people who are in need and could benefit from a little of our wealth. While Christmas is filled with receiving for many, for others it’s not. For some it is just a struggle to
get by and make it to tomorrow. This is seen throughout the world but also here in our backyard, Chilliwack. While many of us eat ourselves silly, others are left star ving. While we open gifts and grumble and complain under our breath that it’s something we didn’t ask for like socks, others would
be delighted to have something warm to put on their feet. While we sit nice and warm drinking hot chocolate by the fire watching a movie, others are huddled under a thin blanket shivering into the long dark night. Let’s take a long hard look at ourselves and realize that we are just a bunch of spoiled chil-
dren. Instead of wasting money on unwanted gifts this Christmas season, give to someone in need. To learn more about recapturing the beauty of Christmas visit http:// w w w. y o u t u b e . c o m / watch?v=gc2IQdbZ2hs or Google or YouTube Advent Conspiracy. R. Krahn

in 2012 was a dwarf thornless raspberry shrub called ‘Raspberry Shortcake’. We’ve watched it for a couple of years now and when planted in a large container and fed or planted in the ground, it produces delicious good sized raspberries in waves throughout the summer just like traditional everbearing raspberries. Last spring two selffertile dwarf blueberries were introduced, called, ‘Jelly Bean’ and ‘Peach Sorbet’, both also well suited to containers. Next spring we’ll see another new introduction called ‘Blueberry Glaze’, also a sweet and tasty container variety. These brazelberries make wonderful gifts for experienced or novice gardeners, especially for anyone who has limited space or is only able to garden in containers. Speaking of limited space, the 3-in-1 blueberry is very innovative. It has three different plants in one pot, thereby looking after pollination and lengthening the harvest and enjoyment period.

Engineering design calls for upgrades in phases up to the year 2051, at a total of about $30 million, which will be funded by development cost charges. City staff has compared signalized intersections with modern roundabouts, factoring in safety, efficiency and cost, and determined that modern roundabouts “provide the optimum design solution.” Evans roundabout was one of the first for Chilliwack, but now more are on the way. Plans for the other two upcoming roundabout projects are well underway on Tyson at Watson and Tyson at Keith Wilson. For the Tyson roundabouts, city staff said they’ve completed the property purchases required and in the new year pole relocation will be underway by January or February. Five poles are set to be relocated at each location. Construction on the Tyson roundabouts is scheduled to begin in 2014.

Derek Rempel: Working to engineer a better world Derek Rempel is a well-spoken young man. He’s a caring, practical individual who has always been aware of what he’s been given but while on a recent trip to Africa, he became acutely aware of what it’s like to do without. The meaning of loss came at an early age for Derek when his father passed away suddenly and expectantly about 19 years ago. Thankfully, his mother, who is a secretary/bookkeeper with a local development firm, Derek and his younger sister, came together as a
strong family unit. Derek has always enjoyed being active and at the age of 11, he strapped on his skates and began his love for the Ana sport of hockey. MACEDO “I played in the House League with Chilliwack Minor Hockey until I was 18 and graduated from high school,” he said. Derek
also took a keen interest in snowboarding while in high school and as he put it, “I really did enjoy both so I split my time between snowboarding and hockey.” While attending high school, Derek worked part-time as a horticulture labourer at a local greenhouse operation. “I worked hard or at least it seemed to me that I worked quite hard,” he chuckled light-heartedly. As Derek was approaching graduation, he resolved to go into engineering. “I made the decision to go into this
line of work not for any particular reason other than I thought that it would be a good career,” he said practically. He spent his first two years of post secondary education at UFV then transferred to UBC for his final three years of study, graduating from UBC with a Bachelor of Applied Sciences in Civil Engineering. It was while he was attending UBC that a friend of his told him about the possibility of doing an internship with Africa Community Technical Service
(ACTS). ACTS is a non-profit Christian organization working with rural, East African communities to provide safe, clean water and other basic needs. Derek was stationed in Kahija, Uganda for six months and although there was a senior engineer on-site, he was one of two interns who did the bulk of the design work. “These water supply projects help these communities access clean water close to home, improving community and environmental health and reducing the time needed to
collect water. The area was largely rural farmland with interspersed villages. When a large water project was completed, it served 20,000 people. A smaller project could serve about 2,000 people,” he explained. Derek found the work fascinating, rewarding and fulfilling. I will say that it was a positive experience but in terms of how it has affected me, I’m still processing it. I just returned in April, so I’m still trying to sort things out in my mind. I will say that it was difficult for me to witness first hand what poverty can do to people,” he said.
After returning from Africa, Derek landed a position with Omega Engineering. As a Civil Design Engineer, he is generally involved in the design of public works which may include large buildings, roads, bridges, water distribution systems and that sort of infrastructure. “I also do the inspections as things are being constructed,” he added. Derek is working hard and admits that at this point in his career he is learning all that he can. “I’m looking at my career as an investment so that down the road, say five or ten years, I can explore all of my options.”

Chilliwack teen William Van Hoepen, 16, is taking on the world of TV with his new talk show, The Flo Show, being aired on Shaw, channel 4, starting Jan. 1. The show will cover all topics relating to Chilliwack and teenagers. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
New Chilliwack talk show: for teens, by teens The Progress William Van Hoepen will be channeling both Rick Mercer and Ellen Degeneres for his new Chilliwack-centric TV talk show. But with a teenage mindset. On a blustery winter morning, the sixteen-year-old sat down with The Progress at a local Starbucks. Talking in fast-tongued tangents, the reporter before him suspected he’d probably downed at least two, maybe even three double espressos prior to the meeting. In about a five-minute span, Van Hoepen covered a conversation that would take most an hour to get through.
The perfect personality, he said, for a TV talk show. Starting Jan. 1, Van Hoepen’s new show, The Flo Show, will air twice a day on Shaw, channel 4. The show will cover all things Chilliwack, mixed with all things adolescence. Crossing several extremes, it will be a full mix of humour, excitement, adventure and politics. There will also be more sensitive subjects covered like teen suicide, depression, pregnancy, family dynamics, and authority. “I want to bring real issues that teens deal with regularly to the table,” says Van Hoepen. “I want to have real stories, real people, I want to educate Chilliwack on the
issues teens regularly face.” And being a teenager himself, he feels he’s the perfect authority to start those conversations. Age doesn’t matter, he says. “Adults can be just as immature as teenagers, and sometimes I really can’t tell the difference.” With this show, “I’m really going to push to get people to know what Chilliwack is. I’m going to go hands on. I’m going to feature different people, go into the businesses – it’s all part of building Chilliwack to its full potential.” Van Hoepen knows a thing or two about building up profiles. At 13, he started his first business, at 14, he co-founded Today’s 2morrow, an organization aimed

at building an interest in politics within Chilliwack’s youth. Last year, he merged the Chilliwack organization with Canadian Youth Federation, a national organization with similar objectives. He’s owned a web-developing company, a leadership company, and has done numerous public speaking engagements. Now, he has his eyes on the world of television. Last year Van Hoepen created an online show with three episodes, a pilot for things to come, and in just one week, he had nearly 1,000 hits. “I like to talk, I’m a really social person,” he said. Van Hoepen has planned a score
Carolans 1.14 Lt
of round-table discussions, on-thescene coverage, “on-the-bus,” and “backdoor breakfast” segments. “This show is going to be exciting and humorous,” he said. “But at the same time, I have to be able to navigate the audience through the right emotions for some of the more sensitive topics. “I like salt and pepper on meals, and that’s how I’m approaching this show.” The first episode airs at 7:30 a.m. January 1, and will be replayed at 5:30 p.m. For more information, visit the website at www.theflo-show.com. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Santa looking to swap outdated ride for super economy sleigh
UP TO
NORTH POLE - Driveway can exclusively reveal that Santa Claus has been visiting local dealerships kicking tires—ahem, rails—in his search for a new ride. Ever conscious of the increasing cost of gas and effect his multi-million-kilometre Christmas flight has on the environment, Santa seems to have opted for 2014 Ford Transit Connect Wagon for his next sleigh. The wagon promises a fuel economy of 7.84 L/100 kms fuel economy,which means the sleigh will be kinder to the environment than his current means of transporting gifts to the world’s children. As an added benefit, the EcoBoost engine – which is finely tuned for high-speed performance – would offer speeds much faster than Santa ever travelled in his former 36-hoofpowered sleigh. The expected upgrade comes as a record number of children earn spots on the “nice” list, increasing the payload weight of his bag of gifts beyond the normal tow rating of his nine-reindeer team. Santa told me that changing his mode of transportation will not compromise his ability to remain true to his mission. “My goal is and always has been
giving presents to good the nine reindeer look girls and boys, and a new forward to some time sleigh will make that off. Every year, the process more effective,” flying animals travel he says. “Let’s face it, 200,194,557 kms and every year there are more they’d like some time to children who earn presrest, he says, explaining ents.

allow him to keep a close eye on his gifts in the second and third row. From its 60/40 three-passenger second-row bench seat through fold-flat second- and third-row seating with third-row independent fore-and-aft sliding capability, the wagon quickly adapts to accommodate multiple combinations of elves and presents. The MyKey programmable ignition key restricts maximum speed should a mischievous elf get behind the wheel while Claus is down a chimney leaving gifts. With eight cupholders, Claus and his elves would have plenty of space to take along a few glasses of milk as they continue through their busy night. Rain-sensing wipers would keep Claus on the move, as there’s always a chance he’ll encounter nasty weather. “As always, we are busy making toys and checking long lists,” says Santa. “That said, Merry Christmas to all!” Of course, Mrs. Claus will have the final say on this purchase because, as any dealership owner will tell you, women make the final decision in 80 per cent of new vehicle purchases. Keep your eyes peeled Tuesday night to see if Santa got his Christmas wish.

Even though we have high fuel prices in Canada, the trend is away from small fuel-efficient cars to larger vehicles. Subcompact and even compact sales are down but sales of small SUVs and even mid-sized vehicles are up. There are a couple of things at play here. The first is the stronger (not so much in the last two months) Canadian dollar over the last several years has allowed carmakers to jam more content into their cars and often the retail price has dropped too. The second is that vehicles are becoming more fuel efficient, Zack Spencer so buying a slightly bigger car isn’t much of a hardship. With this as a backdrop, it is interesting to see that Mitsubishi has introduced a three-cylinder fuel saving car at the smallest end of the market. Looks: The Mirage is sold in two trim levels; the base starts at $12,498 and comes pretty sparsely equipped. It’s a small car with a little price tag. The much bigger Nissan Versa is cheaper at $11,898 and has buckets more power. The car that most people will choose is the Mirage SE with many more goodies but the price jumps dramatically to $15,398 and with the automatic transmission it lands at $16,598. At this price, there are plenty of options in the subcompact class. Styling is not what I would car eye-catching. Cars like the Ford Fiesta or the Kia Rio have much more appeal and features for similar money to this SE Mirage. Inside: On the plus side, the Mirage SE does come nicely equipped. The front driver’s seat has adjustment and both front seats have very good seat heaters that bring your backside up to the appropriate temperature in short order. The centre cluster is nicely finished and it features Bluetooth with streaming audio. There is an auxiliary jack but no USB jack to charge your phone. The back seat is small and the rear cargo area is what one might expect from a little car. But this vehicle does not live in a vacuum. The Kia Rio, with more features, like satellite radio, is only a $1,000 more and is way up on space and horsepower. The Nissan Versa Note is massive in comparison and for $1,700 more has push button start and even a backup camera. So yes, the Mirage is nicely equipped and has a good price but there are other options out there that are as good if not better. Drive: What this little car was designed to do is deliver impressive fuel economy. This is achieved by placing a 3-cylinder engine under the hood and matching it to either a 5-speed manual transmission or a continuously variable transmission (CVT). With just 74hp, this car is way down on power compared to the rest of the subcompact set, even the Fiat 500 has 101hp and the Nissan Versa has 109hp. This combination of small packaging and small engine deliver a rating of 5.3L/100km in the city and 4.4L on the highway. In my mostly city driving I was achieving 7L/100km. The problem with such a small engine is that t often needs to be pushed hard to accelerate and pass other traffic. The engine and CVT are loud, especially when the car is cold. The steering is very light for easy maneuverability but at higher speeds it feels too vague. This car is happy cruising because the engine settles down to a lower RPM and the noise level drops. Ask this car to perform and it’s an experience filled with noise and vibration. Verdict: With a very low starting price and potentially good fuel economy the basic Mirage has a place for a buyer who wants a basic runabout that sips gas but if the trend away from small cars is any indication, that will be a small number. zack@drivewaybc.ca

Readers voice the pros and cons of increasing posted speed limits Driveway readers have the final word on the posted speed limit poll, conducted in partnership with Insights West. In that survey it was
NEW HOURS!
revealed that 37 percent of those polled believe a higher than 100 km/h limit should be posted on our major highways. The provincial government cur-
rent review of speed limits has already prompted much public discussion, much of which seemed to support the hiking of limits. With that in mind, we were sur-
prised that the poll showed that 55 percent believed speed limits should be left alone. Here’s further reaction posted online by readers.
For an increase in limits: Kmac: Excessive speed, texting and using a cell phone while driving, driver in attention and driving
too fast for the road &/or weather conditions kills. The minimal increase in the speed limits you suggest make sense efi1936: I think that the
Increasing the speed limits will only increase risk to all road users.

Keith Morgan
Coquihalla should be 130 km/h and the rural part of Highway 1 120km/h. lyle: As stated in your column, it is only excessive speed that kills. However, if two drivers were driving side by side at 100 km/h there would be mass frustration and more accidents. CaryAnn: I think the majority of drivers driving today are totally conscious of their vehicle and surroundings and are very capable of handling the higher speeds. DriveSmart: Maybe the new limit should be displayed on new variable signs so that it can be adjusted downward in darkness and poor driving conditions. 28speedster: Here we are in the 21st century driving at the same or lower speed limits than we did with cars in the 1950s with bias ply tires on two-lane highways. New cars, tires, roads are engineered for much higher speeds. A higher speed limit will require drivers to pay attention to their driving. Mark: Being from Germany and having driven faster and safely on the Autobahn, I say it’s about time. When I took my driver’s test, part of the test was on the Autobahn and you had to go 130km/h (weather and local speed limit permitting) NOT to get points against you.

At first, I was a little sceptical about this vehicle but . . . after the first few kilometres, I found it to be a very comfortable and a fun to drive vehicle.

The 2014 GMC Acadia Denali is truly a full-size crossover vehicle. That’s right, an eight-passenger crossover that is big enough to haul eight adults and still have room to store your gear. Saturday is my usual run around day; picking up things, dropping off people, some of whom I don’t know but someone in my family has volunteered me to drive them anyway. You know the kind of day, the one that finds me buying things that we don’t need but can’t live without, returning things that apparently we can live without, and providing hourly updates to my wife on what I have accomplished thus far. Hectic and stressful. Well, this particular Saturday I had the Acadia Denali and with a few hours driving this vehicle I was actually relaxed. Luxurious seating and a premium Bose stereo system with steering wheel controls that drowned out all the chatter from the back seats. It also came in handy for when they tried to include me in the conversation; with a simple push of the volume button I could yell back “sorry, I can’t hear you”. All three rows receive the same level of luxury. French stitching on all of the leather seats with a choice of colors, Ebony or Cocoa Dune. The second row seats are a SmartSlide flat-folding 60/40 split bench while the third row is a 60/40 split bench that folds flat as well. The third row is surprisingly comfortable and enough leg room for adults. The steering wheel is leather wrapped with mahogany wood grain trim; it also features a tilt and telescopic steering column. The centre of the dash is the location for the colour touch Radio/Navigation

Lower Mainland, fear not, they have an online store, which is eautomobilia.com There are items there that appeal to both four and twowheel enthusiasts. A Visit to the Spa (for your Car. Various prices) It’s a good feeling when you’re feeling clean. And we all know that winter is not a season that promotes spotlessness. With salt on the roads, grime hanging around, and foreign objects getting stuck to your vehicle, you’d wonder how a bath can even help. Well, it does. Washing it cleans off the salt that covers the roads and can help prevent corrosion. And on the inside, think of what your boots bring in. A trip to the spa prevents stains from totally setting in and can leave your car smelling good, too. Whether getting just a quick treatment or the full shebang, your ride will thank you for it. Build a Racecar in 158 Pieces ($24.99) Building a racecar can be done in 158 pieces thanks to Lego. If you’re young, or young at heart, surely you’ll have a good time assembling this “toy!� Plus, it looks cool. shop.lego.com Steering in the Right Direction (From approx. $240.00) Want to spice up your ride? Perhaps add a sporty element? Sparco makes steering wheels for both street and race cars. Then again, it’s kind of a one-stop shop. They also sell race attire, seats, shoes and more. If nothing else, they make some very comfortable hats! sparcousa.

Leah99: Wildlife (and domestic pets), pedestrians, and vehicles driven by law-abiding people are put at risk by speeders as it is. Donna: There are enough accidents at 110 without increasing the risks. Snazzy: Speeds above 90km/h greatly increase fuel consumption. In addition to lower speeds being safer for drivers, wildlife, it is also important that we consider the planet, and reduce
$
0 our use of fossil fuels. Rosemary: In BC’s interior, there are many hazardous roads and bad weather conditions, but drivers in general ignore them. If you ‘up’ the speed limit, they will ‘up’ the speeding... What ever happened to safe driving? Like reducing speed at night when visibility is reduced? Brian: People already drive 10 to 20 above the speed limit . . . if you raise to 120 they will go up to 140. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

. . . Block Can there be anything much more frustrating than not being able to turn because some twit is blocking the intersection? There is a provincial law that forbids drivers from entering an intersection if they can’t exit the other side (not for left turners, that’s ok). But many municipalities have taken that a step further with bylaws that apply that rule to all intersections, not just those controlled by lights. However, it seems to be largely ignored by people who block the entrance to neighbourhood streets while waiting for a light change ahead. Whether it’s a by law or not surely it’s just common sense and courtesy. What drives-u-crazy. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Remind kids not to share any information about where they live, go to school or any other personal information they would not share with a stranger. Someone who is grooming a young person online could pretend to be anyone in order to gain a young person’s trust and information. 3. Monitor. Everything online is permanent and public. Last year, Facebook’s settings shifted and previously deleted or hidden pictures and posts were made public. Let your kids know you’ll be checking what they post and text. Sometimes the awareness that other eyes may be on a picture or post will encourage discretion.

News AirCare dials down fees Motorists whose vehicles need AirCare testing next year will get a break on fees in the final year of the program. The fee for 1992 and newer vehicles drops from $45 to $36 in January and then is reduced $2 each month after that. The fee for 1991 and older vehicles, now at $23, will be reduced by $1 each month. The vehicle emissions testing program is to be scrapped at the end of 2014. The provincial government says the air quality benefits from the program have diminished as vehicle pollution controls improved. ~ Black Press

Have them ask themselves, “is this something I could comfortably say in the grocery store or to one of my grandparents?” 4. Set limits on technology use – encourage your kids to spend the majority of their time in the real world instead of the online world. It is particularly important to protect young people’s sleep routines. Some parents find it helpful to have their kids turn in their phones, iPods or videogame cords before going to bed. It’s surprising how many young people stay up in the night texting peers or playing on the computer. There are many organizations that support parents who want to keep their children safe online. The Kids in the Know website, https://www. kidsintheknow.ca/ has a regular newsletter that parents and educators can subscribe to with tips on how to keep kids safe online. If you or someone you know is having difficulty online, cybertips.ca is a safe way to report online misdeeds. In a world that is ever-changing, one constant is the fact that parents will work hard to protect their kids. Staying informed and involved will help young people navigate technology safely and without regrets.

Ali Renwick will curl at the 2014 Tim Hortons Junior Curling Championship, taking place Dec. 26-31 at the Chilliwack Curling Club. Eight teams on the boys’ and girls’ side will compete. Admission is free and results can be tracked online at playdowns.com. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Renwick the lone local in Tim Hortons field She’s in Grade 11 and just 16 years old. “She used to play lead, but our coach realized she had a skip’s personality,” Renwick said. “A lot of people think that’s weird because she’s four years younger than all of us. But she’s very calm and smart. She’s very mature for her age and I kind of forget about that age difference.” Renwick was listed as the second when the Tim Hortons field was revealed. She’s since been moved to third, which sounds like a subtle change to the curling illiterate. Not true. “It’s actually huge because I’m throwing later on in the ends now, and my shots are a little more crucial if I have to clean something
up,” Renwick explained. “And I call the shots for Dezaray, and call the lines after the shot leaves her hand.” Plonka is now the second. Freeman curls lead. “Gabby is the same age as me and we were good friends instantly,” Renwick said. “And I’ve known Casey for a long time too. It’s been really cool having them on the same team as me.” They go out after practices, have lunch and laugh. But really, this is serious, serious business. After falling short in qualifying for this event last year, meetings were held and the team was taken back to square one. “We lost three finals in a row (A, B and C) and the feeling was just awful,” Renwick recalled. “We really should have
beaten the last team we lost to. We’ve faced them multiple times this year and beaten them, but we had trouble defending leads last year.” Renwick believes that problem has been solved. At the Golden Ears Womens’ Cashspiel earlier this season they locked down a late lead, banishing that mental block. If a similar situation arrises, Renwick’s confident they can get it done. But she also knows the competition at this event will be capital-T tough. Corryn Brown’s Kamloops rink is the top dog, coming in as the defending Canadian champs. “It will be a low-scoring game where we’ll wait for a miss and attack when we can,” Renwick said. “Get the lead and hopefully hold it.”

for intent to injure and an additional suspension. The video of the incident isn’t great butt you can see it clearly enough to know that it deserved more. You can see it as part of the game’s highlight package on the Chiefs website. It’s a short but much needed Christmas break for the Chiefs this year as they return to action for a pair of games versus the Surrey Eagles on Dec. 28 (in Surrey) and Dec. 29 att Prospera Centre. The home game is the Chiefs’ annual Fill the Rink forr the Food Bank Night. All tickets are just $5 with a donation of a non-perishable food item that will go to the Chilliwack k Salvation Army Food Bank. There will not be a skate with the Chiefs like there usually y is following a Sunday home game. Instead, players from the local peewee Jamboree will have their skills completion. Be sure to check out the Chief website next week as we post the results of a Christmas related questionnaire Chiefs players are filling out this week. After all, who doesn’t want to know Kiefer McNaughton’s favourite Christmas song? As this is my last column off the year, I want to wish everyone all the best during the Christmas season. Thanks for all your feedback k throughout the year and on behalf of the Chiefs organization we thank everyone again for your continued support off the team. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

When the 2014 Tim Hortons Junior Curling Championship comes to Chilliwack later this week, there will be one local in the field. Ali Renwick curls for Team Hawes. Skipped by Anmore native Dezaray Hawes and representing the Royal City Curling Club, the team also includes Gabrielle Plonka (Vancouver) and Casey Freeman (Mission). They aren’t favourites to win when the event starts Dec. 26, but they’re more than capable of making a darkhorse run. “We’ll take it one game at a time and try to win as many round-robin games as we can,” Renwick said. “We’ll do whatever we can to get to the final, which will be televised on CTV Sportsnet.” Hawes, the team’s skip, is interesting.
An injury plagued Chilliwack Chiefs team will try and end a team record 10 game losing streak this weekend when they host the Prince George Spruce Kings and the Trail Smoke Eaters. At Friday’s game versus the Spruce Kings, Murray Honda will w ill be collecting coats for their coat drive. A coat to keep us warm in the winter is something that so many of us take for granted. We W e can all make a difference this year and make sure the underprivileged kids in our community do not go without. For more information on how yyou ou can help, please visit murraycoatdrive.com. Santa Claus will be the guest of honor Saturday night when the Chiefs host the Smoke Eaters. He’ll be part of the ceremonial puck drop and will be vvisiting isiting with kids during the first intermission. As mentioned the Chiefs current losing streak is a team record, breaking the previous record of eight games set during the 1996-97 season. Injuries have hit the team’s defense hard as they’ve been forced to play without veterans Eric Roberts and Cody Bardock recently. Added to that was an injury to Carter Cochrane that kept him out of Monday’s game in Prince George. Cochrane was injured by a vvery ery intentional cross check to the face by Braiden Epp in Sunday’s game. Epp received a five minute major but did not get what he should have, a match penalty

The first challenge of the year from Oct. 1 to Dec. 1 has just wrapped up, with the second challenge set to begin Jan. 15. Schools across Canada participate at the same time. Schools can sign up for the challenge at www.60minkidsclub. org. Each student logs in and tracks their own progress, receiving points for each log in, which aggregate under their school. This enables organizers to determine the most active kids, grades,
schools, districts, regions and provinces across Canada. The 60 Minute Kids’ Club, which is aligned with Canadian Sport for Life, originated in 2009 with Innovative Fitness, a personal training business. At that time 5,000 Kindergarten through Grade 6 students in five schools in B.C., Ontario and Nova Scotia participated in a pilot program which produced encouraging results. In 2012, 70 schools in B.C. were involved and the program has now expanded to Alberta and Manitoba. “We hope this year to engage 100 schools in B.C.,” says Thody.

And that means engaging more parents on the importance of their children making healthy choices, while demonstrating healthy choices themselves. These include physical literacy (playing for at least 60 minutes each day), eating healthy (including five or more vegetables and fruits daily and eliminating sugar and sweetened drinks), and cutting

Chilliwack’s Micaela Nyland danced her way to a silver medal at the World Dance Championships, with a dazzling debut that will be hard to top. Nyland traveled to Mikolajki, Poland last week, and performed her first-ever solo ballet performance in the children’s category. Going against 11 other dancers, Nyland glided around the stage in flawless fashion. But Micaela and her mom, Jane, didn’t know she’d won until the medal ceremony. They listened intently as the results were revealed. “The sixth and fifth places were announced, and the moment fourth place was announced the entire room exploded into cheers,” Jane recalled. “It was a clean sweep for the Canadians, and my baby girl had a place on the podium.” Eleven-year-old Rachel Kempenaar, representing Canada’s Team East, won bronze. Representing Canada’s Team West, Nyland was second. Her teammate, 11-year-old Clara Alexandrova was first. Their competition included four dancers from Poland, two from Russia and one each from Serbia and the

Guilderson added another goal and assist in the rematch, with his T-Birds falling 4-2. Guilderson now has seven goals and 14 points in 24 games.

Creasy makes the team as a wide receiver after a standout season with GWG’s varsity squad. Josh Hansen’s first NCAA season started out well, but may have ended way to early.

February 26, 1950 - December 25, 2009 They say that time will heal. But neither time nor reason will change the way we feel. For no one knows the heartache that lies behind our smiles. No one knows how many times we have broken down and cried. We want to tell you something so there won’t be any doubt, You’re so wonderful to think of, but so hard to be without. We cannot bring the old days back when we were all together. The family chain is broken now, but memories live forever. We love and miss you more than ever, Eddie, Tyson, Sharlene, Tyler, Taylor, Austin, Trisha, Tyson, Aidan, & Cole. 12/12W_CM19
