Peter Butcher, president of the Upper Valley local of Canadian Union of Postal Workers, says there are better ways to help Canada Post than cutting home delivery. JENNIFER FEINBERG/ PROGRESS

Keep mail delivery until security issues are fixed, say posties Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Local postal workers met with Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl last week to talk about the end of door-to-door home delivery. The announcement by Canada Post last month to phase-out of home delivery service in urban areas has rankled both the public and affected workers, said Peter Butcher, president of the Upper Valley local of Canadian Union of Postal Workers. The end of door-to-door is part of a new five-point plan by Canada Post to cut the bottom line, by relying on community mailboxes over home delivery for convenience and lower cost reasons.

Butcher and some colleagues attended a meeting with the local MP to express how the “streamlining” will affect carriers, their families, and the public. “We wanted to tell him how we feel about this, so when he gets to Parliament, he has a good idea of what is going on,” he said. Butcher represents 63 CUPW workers in Chilliwack, including letter carriers and rural route carriers. Some of the postal workers will also be at the Home Show this weekend at Heritage Park bending ears about the topic. “Even though we know we are losing letter mail, there’s got to be an alternative,” Butcher said. Chilliwack has about 21 letter carri-

ers doing home delivery, he said, and up to half could be eliminated in the phase-out. Strahl shared in an email with The Progress that his meeting with CUPW representatives in Chilliwack recently “went well, with a good exchange of views.” “I reiterated that Canada Post is an arms’ length Crown corporation with a mandate to operate without taxpayer subsidies, and that there is a need to respond to a massive decline in letter mail due to the increasing use of email, social media, texting, and other methods of communication.” Asked if he’d heard from the public on the topic, Strahl replied: “I’ve heard from constituents who are concerned Continued: POST/ p4

A Chilliwack SAR manager is remembering the time he was rescued by none other than the North Shore Rescue leader Tim Jones. Condolences were pouring in this week from across B.C. for Jones, who collapsed suddenly and died Sunday night. Chilliwack SAR search manager Doug Fraser said he clearly recalls the day he first met Jones, the man who was the face of B.C. Search and Rescue. It was about a year after he’d joined Chilliwack Search and Rescue. Fraser and a fellow SAR member found themselves in serious trouble, while on a search of Mt. Slesse in the treacherous back country. “My first meeting with Tim Jones was Tim rescuing me,” Fraser told The Progress this week. It was Day 3 of a brutal search to find a missing hiker who had been searching for wreckage from the TransCanada airline crash of 1956. It was the summer of 1998, and Fraser and the other searcher had just vertically rappelled down a ravine in challenging terrain. Water was pouring down the gully. Soon that led to the grisly discovery of the deceased hiker they’d been looking for. But they were stuck at this point. They were short of rope, after sections got tangled. They could not make it down the ravine the rest of the way or back up to the top. The SAR members themselves were mentally and physically exhausted. They had no choice but to hunker down near the body for a few hours and await rescue.

H1N1 flu death count misleading, say health officials Five official B.C. fatalities but more probable Jeff Nagel Black Press Public health officials say more B.C. residents have likely died of H1N1 flu this month than the official count of five lab-confirmed deaths so far. Four of the confirmed H1N1 deaths were on Vancouver Island, while the fifth was in the Interior and there are none officially listed in the Lower Mainland. According to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, there are 49

patients hospitalized in intensive care units with severe influenza as of Jan. 17. Sixteen of them are in the Fraser Health region and 10 are on Vancouver Island. But officials say the number of deaths understate the true scope of H1N1 flu fatalities because patients hospitalized with flu-like symptoms – even those who die – are not generally lab tested for a final confirmation of influenza or type. “Most deaths from influenza will

probably not have influenza identified,” said Dr. Reka Gustafson, a medical health officer with the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority. As a result, she said it’s “not a meaningful exercise” to focus on the number of deaths or hospitalizations as that can give a false impression that influenza is less severe. Based on national averages, the BCCDC estimates there are up to 520 influenza-related hospital deaths in B.C. in a normal flu season each year. H1N1 makes up more than 80 per cent of flu cases in B.C. so far

this year. Many pharmacies have run out of vaccine after a late scramble to get immunized. The province says nearly 1.4 million British Columbians have been vaccinated so far and the “unprecedented demand” has led to temporary gaps in supply. More vaccine is on order and will be distributed across the province – 5,000 more doses are expected to arrive this week, another 3,000 are expected next week and the province has requested a further 13,000 doses. “We’re getting near the end of the influenza immunization cam-

paign, so we won’t have vaccine in every location,” Gustafson said. She said flu season can continue through March, so late season vaccinations can still help ward off serious illness.

Inquest planned for Mountain inmate deaths Jessica Peters Black Press

Well known river advocate Mark Angelo speaks to a group of people at an information meeting Saturday, called over concern about a hazardous waste recycling and transfer facility approved for an industrial property on Cannor Road in Chilliwack. JENNIFER FEINBERG/ PROGRESS

Waste facility location ‘fraught with risk’ Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The message from the jampacked meeting was clear. Find another location for the proposed waste recycling plant, far away from the edge of the Fraser River. More than 150 people filled Evergreen Hall Saturday in Chilliwack, spilling out into the hall. They came to hear river conservationist Mark Angelo and other river stewards, like First Nations, sport fishing and enviro reps, speak passionately about their concerns about PCBs and mercury being recycled and transferred at a site on Cattermole lands. Reps from a total of 17 groups have come together to oppose the rezoning, said Rod Clapton

of the B.C. Federation of Drift Fishers. Some speakers asked about the prospect of legal action to stop the rezoning, while others wondered if Ministry of the Environment could step in. Clapton said they support development, but with the proviso that it be done in an environmentally responsible way. “We’re not opposed to the facility. We’re opposed to the location,” said Clapton. He recommended that people “demand accountability” from their elected officials, in the form of a full environmental assessment before the project gets off the ground. The problem is not the idea of hazardous waste being recycled by the applicant Aevitas Inc. It’s the riverside location of the proposed site on Cannor Road that

is all wrong, said speaker after speaker, Saturday at the public forum in Evergreen Hall. There’s too much at stake to site a hazardous waste recycling and transfer station on the banks of the greatest salmon producing river in the world, said celebrated river conservationist Mark Angelo during his talk. A “precautionary” approach should prevail, he said, in a decision “fraught with risk, like this one,” where the plant would be a mere 100 to 200 metres from the water. “This is an issue that is resonating with so many people,” he said. “Local populations are most often in the best position to protect waterways.” As a teacher, writer, speaker and paddler, who knows the Fraser River better than most, Angelo was invited to be the

afternoon’s keynote speaker. “I’ve had a love for this part of the Fraser for a long time,” he said, which led to the birth of B.C. Rivers Day, and World Rivers Day. The topic Saturday afternoon at the public forum was the proposed rezoning of a property on Cannor Road for use as a waste recycling and transfer station for Aevitas Inc. The property on the Cattermole lands requires a rezoning to a special industrial zone, M6, for the facility to be allowed to operate. The application has already received three readings and was unanimously approved by Chilliwack council. Some complained that they weren’t aware of the Dec. 3 public hearing on the rezoning, but city officials Continued: WASTE/ p11

An inquest will probe the deaths of three Mountain Institution inmates. The inquest will take place from March 10 to 14 this year, at the Burnaby Coroners Court. The three men’s deaths being investigated are Gerald Joseph Cayer, 49 (Feb. 7, 2013), Kyle Darren Tombaugh, 35 (Aug. 24, 2012) and Warren Robert Allen, 54 (July 20, 2012). Each of the three inmates were all being housed in the medium security’s segregation unit when they died. Their deaths span an eight month period. And while most coroner’s inquests deal only with a single incident, there were enough similarities in the deaths to warrant grouping the deaths together. Chief coroner Lisa Lapointe confirmed that the facts and circumstances of these three deaths are sufficiently similar that it will be more effective to hold a single inquest into the deaths. Presiding coroner Vincent Stancato and a jury will hear evidence from subpoenaed witnesses to determine the facts surrounding the deaths. While the jury may not, by law, make any findings of legal responsibility, it may make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar circumstances in the future. An inquest is a formal process that allows for public presentation of evidence relating to a death. Cayer was serving time for seconddegree murder. Tombaugh was serving four years and 21 days for theft, assault with a weapon and attempt of an indictable offense. Allen was an HIV-positive ex-police officer convicted of sexually assaulting teens.

the union rep. “We are trying to propose ways to help, so they don’t have to make such drastic cuts.” Security of community mailboxes is still a big issue. Break-in numbers were up and December was a big month for theft. “There are mailboxes in Chilliwack that were broken into in November that still aren’t fixed,” Butcher reported. “I think that’s unacceptable for a Crown corporation of this size that’s supposed to be a public service.”

The elderly, shut-ins and those with mobility issues will struggle to reach community mailboxes. The public is still very concerned about how they will access their mail, given the security risks, he added. “They understand that door-to-door delivery is the only way,” he said. “We say to the corporation to keep it as is until you can fix the problem. Take the superboxes and put them where the problems are and test it out before you take away

door-to-door. Find a solution first.” The union can’t do it alone, and needs the support of the public, Butcher said. “It’s your Canada Post,” he said. “Demand better service.” Concerned members of the public can chat with a CUPW member at Heritage Park on Jan. 24-26, during the home show. They’ll be chatting with folks and sharing their suggestions to help offset costs, and stave off the postal cuts. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Northern B.C. communities are dealing with what they call “ghost populations,” with thousands of workers flying in and out of industrial camps who put pressure on local services without contributing to communities. Interprovincial migra-

B.C.’s total population increase over the 12 months ending Oct. 1 was 47,496 people, mainly due to international immigration, which saw a net gain of 35,282 people. Natural growth (births minus deaths) accounted for 11,214 of the total.

NDP set for rebound? Now we know the when. Perhaps soon we’ll learn the who. The BC NDP announced over the weekend that it will announce its new leader to succeed Adrian Dix on Sept. 28. That leader will be chosen by party members in a vote to be conducted Sept. 24-27 over the phone and online. The party’s president, Craig Keating, said he’s looking forward to an “exciting leadership election with great candidates.” Except, so far there aren’t any candidates. Great or otherwise. Three federal NDP Members of Parliament from B.C. have said they’re not interested. Peter Julian, Fin Donnelly and Nathan Cullen all bowed out even before they bowed in. Kennedy Stewart, the MP for Burnaby-Douglas, is still mulling his decision. As is Jinny Sims, the federal NDP representative from Newton-North Delta. Their reticence is understandable. As members of the official opposition in Ottawa, they’re all strong voices for issues they and their constituents believe in. They’re members of a party that captured voters’ imaginations in the last federal election and continues to get attention countering decisions and legislation made by Stephen Harper’s Conservative government. B.C. politics, on the other hand, is a snake pit. Nobody knows that better than Dix, who seemed to have victory in last spring’s provincial campaign in the bag but found himself delivering a concession speech instead. Now that the date has been set for the party’s leadership vote, most observers expect candidates to begin announcing their intentions as well. And no doubt as those names are known, and those candidates start hustling for support, the always entertaining world of B.C. politics will burn with renewed energy and entertainment. ~ Black Press

Neil Young singing from the wrong song sheet VICTORIA – Neil Young’s antioilsands concert tour was the perfect distillation of the American enviro-assault on its dependent northern neighbour that’s been going on for a decade or more. After touring Fort McMurray in his electric car with actor-turnedprotester Daryl Hannah, the 68-year-old Young covered all the big propaganda hits and added his own fantasy facts. It looks like a war zone up there! Hiroshima! If it keeps going it will be like the Moon! There’s no reclamation! Tar sands oil is all going to China, and that’s why their air is so bad! All of those statements are false. And then Young dropped his own nuclear bomb, claiming cancer rates in Fort Chipewyan are 30 per cent higher than, well, somewhere else. Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation has cited a discredited study by former community doctor

John O’Connor to press the same claim. The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta reviewed O’Connor’s claims in 2009. It concluded that “Dr. O’Connor made a number of inaccurate or untruthful claims” about cancer patients, and then refused to provide patient information after Tom his claims made FLETCHER international news. Retired professor David Schindler toured with Young and continued to push the health scare, referring darkly to newer research showing increased mercury and PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon) contamination. When you peel back the propaganda and journalistic hype, these studies mainly reveal that such

toxins are on the rise, but are found in much higher concentrations around large cities where fuel is consumed. The cancer claims were then debunked by a Royal Society of Canada expert panel in 2010. This cancer scare is the most damaging and dishonest part of the selective attack on Alberta. The oil industry, politicians and most of the media seem unwilling to examine it critically. Climate scientist-turned-politician Andrew Weaver was at Young’s Toronto news conference.

comment on the cancer claims. Young included the obligatory sneering comparison between Stephen Harper and George W. Bush, which is another sign he’s lived in California too long. He seemed unaware that the NDP’s Thomas Mulcair and Liberal leader Justin Trudeau support continued oilsands development. As for moonscapes, Young could have driven his famous electric Lincoln from his Redwood City mansion on a hill to nearby Bakersfield, to view the greasy expanses of closely packed pumpjacks reaching to the horizon, still expanding due to hydraulic fracturing. Young could have visited North Dakota, where the second shale oil train explosion luckily didn’t kill anyone. It seems there will be no remake of Young’s classic Kent State lament dedicated to 47 Dead in Old Quebec. That’s American oil, so no protests.

Chief Adam was frank in an interview on CTV about using the “Honour the Treaties” tour to strengthen his legal position. Young’s concert tour put $75,000 in his fund to pay lawyers. Oil isn’t the only thing being extracted here. By the end of the tour Sunday, Young and Adam conceded they weren’t trying to shut the Athabasca oilsands down, just start a dialogue. Thanks to uncritical media coverage, there will no doubt be discussions at dinner tables and in classrooms all over the world about the terrible Alberta tar sands and the cancer they don’t actually cause..

Expand parenting course Teens learn parenthood with “Real” babies (Chilliwack Progress, Jan. 10) With some reservations, I give kudos to teachers Christa VanKlei and Barb Kroeker. This is an innovative and progressive approach to helping young women experience the responsibilities of parenting. Have either of these teachers experienced the challenges of being a single mother? Having experienced being a single mother myself, I question the impact that three days of caring for a “Real” baby will make on these young women. That is only the beginning. The reality is, the challenges that they will face in the years to come will diminish the three day

experience of “Real” baby to next to nothing This program does not come anywhere close to what are the real challenges that face a single mother. It is however a step in the right direction. To make this a truly worthwhile educational experience it needs to be expanded. Why is this “course” focused on females? Many would argue that is because they are traditionally the primary caregivers. Is that because both our society and our legal system do not put more emphasis on the fathers responsibility? Aside from child support. Which to my dismay, more and more young single mothers are choosing not to pursue. Their perception is that “if

I don’t ask for support then he can’t see the child.” To all of you out there in this position, this is not true. I would strongly support this as a mandatory course for both sexes, in all school districts in every province. This would easily fall into the category of “Life Skills”. To suggest by inference that this is something that is only beneficial to the female students is a blatant display of systemic ignorance. Young men also need to understand and experience the consequences of their actions.

Brain injury needs spotlight In response to the news article in the Chilliwack Progress regarding my brother Gerald Guliker and the RCMP. (RCMP share blame in fatal crash, court rules, Jan. 10) I would like to mention an important part that is not captured in the

article. Gerald’s despair and actions were caused by sheer frustration with the whole system related to his brain injury not his epilepsy. We really hope the main focus here which is ‘brain injuries’ will be addressed

more seriously. They require unique needs and understanding that most people don’t understand. We have to be their voice and fight for better treatment as well as short and long term care facilities that they so desperately need.

There are so many, many, more suffering from conditions similar to my brother’s, let’s hear their screams for help so we don’t let another tragedy like this one happen again it’s too painful for everyone involved.

Thank you for your patience! We look forward to reopening our doors, and bringing back to you the same great products in the summer.

Heritage and tourism CSOPA’s latest Marion Peters-Marks, owner/operator of Marion’s Dressing Room and Anne Hails of Dickens Sweets & British Museum said it well as posted in your Wednesday, Jan. 15 edition. Please come out to support your one and only downtown. Downtown Chilliwack is hurting. This is nothing new. Many smaller towns have gone through this process, like Nelson, Nanaimo and Kelowna. What I don’t understand about Chilliwack and its city council, is the lack of recognition for the preservation of heritage buildings and the lack of interest to preserve the downtown heritage and it’s history. Preserving the heritage and creating a truly popular ‘Historic’ Downtown would be the best interest for city council, for future growth as a magnet for the third industry (after real estate and agriculture)– tourism! People love to visit a town that has been restored and search out its history. Chilliwack could become that mecca for the Lower Mainland seekers and the city and downtown businesses would flourish.

OOPS!

Demonstration of SAR long line rescue in Chilliwack earlier this year. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

Remembering SAR’s Tim Jones SAR from Front “We were a little traumatized,” Fraser recalled.” We had been hoping to find this fellow alive.” When it didn’t turn out that way, it led to a feeling of helplessness, coupled with utter exhaustion. North Shore Rescue had been called in; it was the only SAR team with long-line rescue capability. For Fraser, that day turned out to be his first meeting with Jones. He knew about him but he never met him until he came flying in to his rescue. “He was the first to fly into that gully at the end of the long line,” he said. He was so glad to see Jones. “It sure was a relief,” he said. “A three-minute flight, and we were in a different world.” The Chilliwack SAR member was reminiscing this week about that life-transforming inci-

dent. “It’s something I’ll never forget,” Fraser said. “I was amazed by what this helicopter long-line system was capable of.” The experience actually inspired Fraser to undergo the specialized training required for long-line helicopter rescue certification himself. “The loss of Tim

Slopes for Hope at Hemlock raises cancer funds Vikki Hopes Black Press Megan Bukta was too young to remember her mom’s cancer struggle but now, as an adult, she’s helping others with their battles. Bukta, 27, is a volunteer with the Canadian Cancer Society and, as such, helps raise funds that go towards cancer research, prevention initiatives, and support programs. She credits such dollars with helping her mom, Michelle Rickaby, to survive Hodgkin’s lymphoma when Butka was just three years old, and she wants to

return the favour. This includes assisting with the Cancer Society’s latest fundraiser – Slopes for Hope, taking place Sunday, Feb. 9 at Hemlock Resort. The event invites skiers and boarders to raise pledges and then spend the day on the slopes. They can attempt to ski or board the height of Mount Everest, which requires 22 runs, either as individuals or a team. Wacky costumes are encouraged. Registration is $10 (free for kids under 12), and those who raise more than $100 receive a free lift pass for the day, as well as the first run of the day.

Those who raise more than $50 get a free two-hour tubing pass for the day. Nicola Romaniuk, annual giving co-ordinator with the Fraser Valley region of the Cancer Society, said the event, taking place on the Family Day long weekend, is designed for the whole family. The top fundraising team receives a two-night stay during spring break for up to 10 people at Snowflake Resort Chalets at Hemlock Resort or a three-night stay during the summer. Prizes are also awarded for the top individual fundraiser and the best team spirit. About $13,000 was raised last

year – the first time the event was held at Hemlock Resort – and the goal is $16,000 this time around. All proceeds go to the Canadian Cancer Society. Bukta, a marketing assistant in Abbotsford at University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), has helped promote Slopes for Hope by distributing posters and pamphlets and posting information on social media. She will also participate as a skier and hopes to form a team from UFV. “It seems like a really fun thing to do, and it’s family-oriented,” she said. Bukta has volunteered with the

Cancer Society for about 10 years through events such as the Relay for Life, the Daffodil Campaign and Cops for Cancer. “It just means a lot that people go out there to help raise money for research that will raise our survivor rates,” she said. The Hemlock Resort event is among five Slopes for Hope fundraisers taking place in B.C. and the closest one to the Fraser Valley. For more information or to register, go online to slopesforhope. com or “Slopes For Hope” on Facebook, call 604-533-6713 or email info@slopesforhope.com.

ticularly by improving their job prospects. Social Development Minister Don McRae attended the first session Monday in his home community of Courtenay, which drew a capacity crowd of 70 people. He plans to attend other ones in the B.C. Interior and Lower Mainland in the coming weeks.

assistance payment to disabled people. That now stands at $906 per month, including a rent subsidy. McRae said in an interview that major cost items like that will have to wait until B.C.’s economy improves. Meanwhile, efforts to increase employment are showing promise. B.C. has increased the amount of income that can be earned without reducing disability benefits from $500 to $800 a month. McRae said he wants to expand on a pilot project that allows people to earn more than that for part of the year, so they can take advantage of seasonal work. McRae, who had

“social innovation” added to his title when he was appointed to the ministry last year, said he was encouraged by a meeting with a Tim Hortons owner from Ontario who now employs one out of four people with disabilities in his stores. Employees average less than a year in those jobs, but disabled employees stay an average of five years, which saves substantial money on training. Input from the community meetings and website comments are to be used for a policy paper that will be presented at a public forum in June. The website for comments is at engage.gov.bc.ca/disabilitywhitepaper.

A 49 year old Chilliwack man is in police custody after a failed break-in Friday. Bremner Robertson allegedly tried to get into a house in the 46,000 block of 3rd Avenue by smashing a window. Two teenagers were home at the time. They called their mother, who was out at the time, and then 9-1-1. The mother rushed home to confront the intruder, who ran away. RCMP officers were already in the neighborhood, on an unrelated matter, when the 9-1-1 call came in. Robertson hadn’t gotten far when they rounded him up. He appeared in Chilliwack Provincial Court Monday, and he’s been charged with one count of break and enter. He’ll appear in court again Jan. 27.

The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the implant. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.

Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. these metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes.

have reiterated that all the legislative requirements for the hearing process were met. The volumes of toxic and hazardous materials, like PCBs and mercury, are “high,” Angelo said at the meeting. “It’s staggering if you think of it.” Before the meeting, he shared some ideas with The Progress. “A key concern about this proposal is that hazardous waste facilities like this have an environmental risk attached to them because of the materials they handle,” wrote Angelo in an email. “Consequently, in terms of where they’re located, they should be placed a significant distance from any river and out of the floodplain.” Anyone would be hard-pressed to find a similar plant sited near a river, let alone one like the Fraser, with its embarrassment of riches in terms of species of salmon and sturgeon. “Consequently, in terms of where they’re located, they should be placed a significant distance from any river and out of the floodplain,” he argued. Even Aevitas’s other facilities are not built in such ecologically sensitive environments, Angelo noted. “Given the exceptional values of the Fraser, I believe it’s essential that we take a precautionary approach – and find an alternative site farther away from the river. “The current proposal for the plant is not consistent with such a precautionary approach. Consequently, we’ll be asking council to hold back from any final decision, allow for additional consultation and input - and review alternative sites. “And to Aevitas, I would say their interest in this particular site runs counter to what they’ve traditionally stood for and, if they were to build there, I think it would detract in many ways and for many years from the otherwise noble work they do,” said Angelo. So approval by the province is by no means certain, he predicted. “Also, I believe many will oppose and take issue with any proposal that claims the only location for a large toxic materials treatment plant happens to be on the banks of the great Fraser River. “This amazing river is the heart and soul of our province and this proposal, in this location, is not consistent

Making a difference with Twenty Dollars in Your Pocket There were hugs and more than a few tears this week as Karalee and Edward Stacie finished things up at their Main Street thrift shop. After eight months, the owners of Twenty Dollars in Your Pocket are taking a break. A new couple will be taking over day-to-day operations as Karalee and Edward, “get their bearings.” It’s been a challenging adventure, the two say – one that has taught them a lot about business and more about people. They started the store after Edward was unable to return to work as a long-haul truck driver following a work place injury. He got much help and support during his recovery, and with a restricted income he got to know a lot of second-hand stores and garage sales. Two things emerged: a desire to help others (just like others had helped him), and a conviction that he and Karalee could run a store as well or better than the stores they had seen. “We thought, ‘We can do that,’” Edward says. They began prowling secondhand sales and flea markets, looking for deals that they could add to their growing inventory.

Edward and Karalee Stacie, joined by their No. 1 helper, Conrad, inside their Main Street thrift store, Twenty Dollars in Your Pocket. After eight months, the couple will be turning over operation of the store to a new couple at the end of the week.

Quality and cleanliness were important. Even today Edward can spend nearly $185 a week on laundry.

But they also worked on their attitude. “Karalee taught me a lot,” says Edward. Her philosophy is simple:

treat everyone with kindness and respect. “Like you would want to be treated,” Edward says.

They welcomed everyone into their store without judgement – rich or poor, young or old. That fairness did not go unnoticed. One family, whom they ‘adopted’ at Christmas time, returned the kindness with a surprise gift of their own – a Tim Horton’s gift card that the pair knew the family couldn’t really afford. It’s that kind of interaction the two are going to miss the most. They still smile about the Christmas stockings they packed with life’s little necessities and distributed to the homeless, the forgotten, “and anyone who looked lonely.” “The look on their faces made it all worth it,” Karalee says. Karalee and Edward say they hope to reopen a store in a few months. Two customers touched by the couple, popped by Monday morning to share a hug and offer support. They might have a suggestion for a name to the new store: “Second Chance,” one of them says earnestly. Twenty Dollars in Your Pocket is located at 9242 Main Street.

Finding treasure amid the clutter If there’s a certain symmetry to Claudia Earl’s business, it’s no accident. Claudia and husband Gordon recently opened “Find a Treasure” on Mill Street. And while the shop offers an eclectic and elegantly-displayed storefront, the real business begins behind the scenes. Claudia offers a service aimed at helping others simplify their lives and declutter their worlds. It’s something she began by accident while living in Winnipeg. While working for a property management company, she found herself tasked with the job of emptying apartments of unwanted furniture once the tenants had left. Having seen poverty in her native El Salvador, Claudia couldn’t bring herself to throwing it all out. “I just thought that was such an awful waste.” At the same time, her ability to help people relocate, downsize, organize and get rid of their stuff started getting noticed. What began as a sideline soon turned into a business, and thus was born DeClutter.ca – an operation that eventually grew to 11 staff and five moving trucks. Clutter is a tricky thing, says Claudia. It can creep up on us and overwhelm us with little notice. Every book, bedstand and ornament carries a memory, making the item difficult to part with. For some, it’s a question of avoidance and procrastination, for others health concerns or age may prevent them from organizing their homes. Claudia’s goal is to help her clients sift through their belongings, find and keep the forgotten treasures and get rid of the rest. Her services range from a simple consultation, to packing for a move and unpacking in the new home. “We do everything to make your new living space feel like ‘home,’ by making sure that everything is set up just the way you like it.”

Claudia Earl, with daughter Serena Sugimoto, inside their new store on Mill Street, Find A Treasure. The storefront is also the headquarters of Claudia’s DeClutter.ca, a service that helps people organize and regain control over the clutter in their lives.

Not ever ything will make the move. And those items that don’t are sold at Claudia’s Mill Street shop. In exchange, clients receive a discount for her services, depending on the value of the merchandise. What isn’t sold is donated or repurposed some other way. Only as a last resort is anything thrown away. “Our motto is ‘Recycle first. Dump last,’” she says with a laugh. To find out more about Claudia’s services, or to find your own treasure, drop by Find a Treasure, located at 9355 Mill Street, call 604-798-6218, or go online to DeClutter.ca

Progress Jennifer

Luke Vandevert, left, and Vern Tompke are bringing a little acoustic music to a renovated heritage building on Wellington Avenue. JENNIFER FEINBERG/ PROGRESS

Old emporium building goes acoustic Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A new live music venue in downtown Chilliwack opens this week, geared to supporting acoustic music and local musicians. Acoustic Emporium will become Chilliwack’s folk music club twice a month, on Friday nights, offering all-ages shows for ten bucks a person at the door. “Here was our idea: Create an intimate space for sharing personal music,” says Vern Tompke. The musicians will take the stage in the renovated heritage building on Wellington Avenue, near Mill Street. It’s the old

Wellington Emporium space, which is now the Vineyard Community Centre, home of Vineyard Community Church and now the non-profit Acoustic Emporium. Think of it as a gathering space for people united by a love of live music. “It all about building community in Chilliwack,” says Tompke. Whether the musicians lean toward roots, alt, or folk music, the emphasis is on acoustic music and the singer-songwriter genre, says manager Luke Vandevert. The styles will range from Blue Rodeo to Phillip Phillips and Said The Whale. That will mean broad appeal

to the widest audience possible. “We’re always going to open the show with local musicians as well, specifically to support local music in Chilliwack,” he said. The renovated space can fit more than 150 people. First up on the performance roster at the Acoustic Emporium is Seattle-based Jon Bryant, originally from Halifax, N.S. on Jan. 24. The second act will be Jordan Klassen of Vancouver on Feb. 7. Jordan Klassen is a Vancouver-based songwriter who after steady increases in accolades, radio play and live crowds, offered a new album, Repentance, this fall. Recorded at Buena Vista Audio with Producer/Multi-instrumentalist

Jonathan Anderson, the album employs diverse instrumentation. Ukuleles, strings, horns, glockenspiels, and choirs take their place alongside guitar, piano, and drums with Klassen’s floating falsetto drawing everything together. Repentance is being called “an engaging and beautiful record, steeped in sonic whimsy and alluring melodies.” For Halifax-born Jon Bryant, writing his latest release, What Takes You, was a challenging, yet invigorating experience. He’s a singer-songwriter and guitarist now based in Washington State. “I had been touring almost every month, finishing university and moving,” Bryant says. “It was very strenuous. Getting

back into a creative frame of mind, collecting thoughts, ideas and memories from the previous two years and channeling them into new songs wasn’t an easy process. Oftentimes I would find myself pulling my car over to write a phrase down or record a melody on my phone.” It’s very personal. “I like the way music can draw very distinct reactions from people,” Bryant says. “I feel if I give away too much information about these songs, they will somehow lose their power and ability to do that.” Local musicians can contact Vern Tompke or Luke Vandevert at info@acousticemporium.com to be considered.

Art fans wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to miss the diversity of Planes + Characters. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an exciting new exhibition of paintings by Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sandra Wiens and Pierre Tremblay, who is originally from Quebec City. They ended up doing a duo show because they are both enthusiastic teachers at Sardis secondary. They formed a small group of artists who critique and support each other, and from that grew the idea of doing a joint exhibit. Expect to see 30 to 35 pieces, mostly abstracts by Wiens and characters in the form of contemporary figurative portraits by Tremblay.

Sardis secondary teachers Sandra Wiens and Pierre Tremblay collaborate for Planes + Characters exhibit. SUBMITTED

The show Planes + Characters is in the Ar t Galler y in the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, 9201

Corbould Street. Open Wednesdays to Saturdays 12 to 5 p.m., and 6.30 to 7:30 p.m. on Theatre Evenings.

Pierre Tremblay and Sandra Wiens both enjoy working with the physicality of paint but with different outcomes. Pierre Tremblay has focused on playing with the conventions of portraiture. Playful extremes in both colours and composition play an important role in how his subjects materialize. Sandra Wiens has been working on depicting non-specific landscape spaces that explore the notion of both incremental and forceful change. Artistsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Reception is set for Sat. Jan 25, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Art Gallery in the Chilliwack Cultural Centre

Scene&Heard

The romance of Romeo and Juliet comes to Chilliwack stage Chilliwack fell in love with Ballet Jörgen when they came to town last with Swan Lake and the Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society is thrilled to welcome them back Feb. 1 with their latest interpretation, the romantic tale of Romeo and Juliet. Perfect for a pre-Valentine’s Day. Treat yourself and that special someone to the enchanting beauty of ballet when this incredible dance troupe returns to the cultural centre. Masterfully transformed into Ballet Jörgen’s magical world of ballet, Shakespeare’s timeless tale of love, anguish, and revenge is a visual delight that feels like a piece of theatre. One of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, the classic tale of Romeo & Juliet has inspired the imagination of many an artist over the centuries and this production is no exception. Creating works that overflow with intimacy and warmth while still remaining true to the original plot, Ballet Jörgen’s artistic director, Bengt has created a stunningly beautiful and emotionally-driven ballet that is inspired by the raw emotion of Romeo and Juliet. The choreography captures the agonizing passion of the young lovers through movement as dancers express the euphoria of new love, the agony of quarrelling families, and the heartbreaking despair felt by the lovers at the prospect of life without each other. Shifting between comedy and tragedy, heightening the tension, audience members will be drawn into the classic tale of these young star crossed lovers as they struggle to find a solution to their plight. Bengt Jörgen’s interpretation of this

timeless classic has won international recognition and critical acclaim as the ballet has been showcased in major cities and communities across Canada, the United States, and China. His engaging perspective on this story of love and the innocence of youth has created a dramatically intelligent dance production while still remaining faithful to the characters and storyline of Shakespeare’s play. “Bengt Jörgen focuses his dramatic lens on the title characters’ love and creates an abundance of inventive pas de deux choreography, enchantingly danced,” says Lisa Jo Sagolla of Backstage Weekly, New York Recognized by the National Arts Centre for its leadership role in the development of touring classical ballet across Canada, Ballet Jörgen Canada is known for the innovation, warmth, humour and beauty in its works. Continuing to reach out to more communities across the country than any other Canadian dance company, the troupe consistently tours the finest in new and classic productions to every area of the country. Seeking to advance the art and appreciation of ballet and Canadian choreography through performance, educational experiences and outreach for over 25 years, Ballet Jörgen Canada gives over 120 performances per year, sharing the art of dance with over 50,000 people. Come and enjoy this breathtaking performance as the plight of these illfated lovers is portrayed through dance.

Sardis star Hayden Lejeune backs in a Henry Carr Crusader during the final of the Abbotsford Snowball Basketball tournament. JOHN MORROW/ BLACK PRESS

Falcons earning respect The Sardis Falcons senior boys basketball team took on a Canadian heavyweight in the final of last week’s Abbotsford Snowball Basketball Tournament. The Falcons faced Toronto’s Father Henry Carr Crusaders, ranked No. 2 in the entire country. The Ontarians won 79-60, but it was no cake-walk. In early tournament games, the Crusaders had smacked around a pair of top-15 ranked BC teams, winning each game by 40+ points. The Falcons kept it much closer, getting within 12 points in the

middle of the fourth quarter. “With a few more layups and free-throws dropping, it might have been an even closer game,” said Sardis coach Kyle Graves. After some quiet regular season play, Eric Rogers got back on track with a team-high 21 points. Hayden Lejeune had 13 and Cam Servatius eight, and all three were named to the tournament first all-star team. Senior team captain Grayden Northey earned player of the game honors with eight points and great defence.

“They’re a very good team. They battle, they work really hard, they shoot the ball really well, they’re disciplined, they’re well coached,” said Henr y Carr coach Paul Melnick, when asked about the Falcons. “They’re just not as deep as us. They might just be one or two players short of making a real run at us. But you know what, we don’t want to get into a close game with them, because they make big shots and they make great decisions. They’re really poised in their basketball sense.” Graves was thrilled with his team’s efforts

and hopes they carry a ton of momentum into regular season play. “This game showed fans, the coaches and most importantly the players themselves that when we play with an intense focus to compete and outwork the other team we have a chance to beat any team in BC,” he said. “This tournament hopefully will be a spring board for a very successful next two months as we try to bring home a provincial championship.” Graves and crew visit Chilliwack Wednesday night for a 6 p.m. tipoff against the arch-rival Storm.

Sardis secondary school’s junior girls basketball team beat Chilliwack 61-32 in a Monday night rivalry game. Demi Weijdeman had 17 points and sunk three three-pointers. Talia Ferris had 11 points and Nicole Reid had 10. “We ran the floor well, scored a ton of fast break points and it was an exciting game,” said former Sardis student and current coach Gina Graves. “I never had the chance to beat Chilliwack as a player, so it was a good feeling to beat them as a coach.” Her team is 7-3 in league play and 17-5 overall. They have a few days off before playing St. John Brebeuf next Monday. Their playoffs start Feb. 5.

Agatha was born and raised in Kenora, Ontario. After excelling in high school, she attended the University of Toronto Medical School where she met her husband to be, John Wilford. Following graduation, Agatha and John were married Dec. 22, 1945 and interned at St. Michaelâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital, Toronto. They were both Officers in the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps during WWII and were discharged in September 1946. Subsequently they moved to Chilliwack, BC and set up a busy general practice. Agatha was the first woman doctor in Chilliwack. For the past 12 years, Agatha had a number of health issues but faced them all with courage and dignity. Following a stroke in 2001, Agatha moved into the Waverley Seniors Village. The family wishes to thank all the staff for their excellent care and attention. Agatha remained a true lady in spite of her challenges. Agatha loved nature, canoeing, gardening and reading but her main focus was her family; her children, her grandchildren and her new great grandson. With her cousin Dorothy Ostrom Meyerhof, Agatha wrote a history of the Tate Family that is in the library of several genealogy societies including the Ontario Provincial Archives. Agatha slipped away peacefully with John at her side. She is predeceased by her parents, Harry and Gertrude Tate and her grandson Johnny Wilford. She is survived by John, her husband of 68 years; four children, Susan (Gerry) Morrison of Kelowna, David (Kathy) of Smithers, Ted (Ann) of Nanaimo and Robert of Vernon; grandchildren, Tim Morrison, Chris (Rachel) Morrison, Michael Wilford, Jordan Wilford, Jessica (Brodie Guy) Wilford, James (Ayami) Campbell, Nikki Wilford and Max Wilford as well as her great grandson Kieran Morrison.
