Black water concerns local river watchers Oily spill near the Fraser River under investigation Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Robert Jimmie Jr. is frustrated by the ongoing presence of an oily spill recently near his grandfather’s fishing spot. It was spotted in a ditch and in a field behind the log sort in Cattermole Business Estates on Cannor Road. “I just love our land so much and hate to see it go down this way so soon,” he said. Jimmie, a local Sto:lo from Squiala First Nation, was writing recently about the issue on his

Facebook page, trying to engage political leaders and individuals alike about the potential source of Fraser River pollution. He told The Progress that he’s now extremely concerned about the impacts the spill might be having on salmon and other wildlife in the area if it flows into the river. A spilled black substance can be seen seeping into the rocks on the river bank, and provincial Environment Ministry officials confirmed they were made aware of it last month. There may have been efforts to dilute it with sand and peat moss

at the site, but the oily mess needs to be thoroughly removed. After tests, Jimmie said he believes the black substance is a mix of diesel and oil that won’t be removed by increased water flows. “I think it’s mechanical waste from oil changes, but if they’re going to do an oil change, at least use a bucket,” he said. There is a black cloth-like barrier placed near the oil spill to stop it from leaking into the river, but it’s a makeshift effort, Jimmie said. “I’m now waiting for our leaders to get involved. We’re going to talk about this since it can affect not only our fishing rights but those of sport fishers as well as other river

users,” he said. The spill in question is under investigation, confirmed a ministry official. “While on routine patrol January 22, 2014, a Ministry of Environment Conservation Officer observed black water in the ditch and field directly behind the Southview Log Sort on Cannor Road,” MOE spokesman David Karn wrote in an emailed response. MOE is working with other agencies, including Environment Canada, to determine what is to be done, he added. Continued: WATER/ p4

Chilliwack’s family doctors have a busy workload, seeing patients in their private offices, in clinics, and in their rounds at CGH. But local family physicians have also been working hard behind the scenes recently, looking at ways to provide even better care to their patients. The Chilliwack Division of Family Practice is conducting a health care improvement initiative called A GP For Me. They hope to connect more people with family doctors, while streamlining workloads to improve efficiency. A recent survey that ran in Black Press newspapers and online garnered 3,059 responses from community members. Questions covered off topics ranging from a patient’s needs, to availability of care. “We were overwhelmed with the level of engagement we received,” said Katrina Bepple, program manager. They were aiming to find ‘unattachment’ rates, the percentage of residents without a consistent family doctor. Of those who responded, 93 per cent indicated they had a family physician. Of those seven per cent who do not have a doctor, five per cent said they would want one. In the aboriginal community, the unattachment rate jumps to 15 per cent. The results of the survey were discussed at a recent press conference held at UFV Chilliwack, one of the community partners involved in A GP For Me. Dr. Melanie Madill is a lead physician with the initiative. She said they are working to close the gap, because all research shows that continuity of care can improve your health.

Distance learning interest remains strong, says principal Katie Bartel The Progress In a time when distributed learning schools should be growing in student enrollment, they’re not. But according to David Manuel, principal of Fraser Valley Distance Education, don’t start ringing the alarm bells yet. Earlier this week, while preparing for a presentation at Tuesday’s board of education meeting, Manuel expected to be grilled on the school’s enrollment, which, last month, was reported to trustees as declining. At the Jan. 21 board meeting, the school was highlighted as having experienced enrollment decline for the past two to three years, despite continuing to be the second largest distance learning (DL) school in

the province. This year, the district is projecting 814 full-time equivalent students – down 87 students from last year. “All DL schools have slowed down [with enrollment],” said Manuel. For several reasons. In 2006, when the B.C. Education Ministry changed policy to allow high school students to cross enroll, taking courses at both brick-and-mortar schools and DL schools, DL enrollment skyrocketed across the province. “The numbers went massive,” said Manuel. But in 2010, changes were made. Students enrolled in DL schools are now required to complete five per cent of their course before the school can claim them and

receive ministry funding for them. Previously, DL schools were able to claim students as soon as they registered for a course. At FVDES, students have one full year to complete a course. “At any given time I have about 100 or close to 200 full-time equivalents sitting there, waiting to get active,” said Manuel. “We need to figure out how to get them going.” In 2011, the Ministry of Education also stopped funding DL support blocks. Previously, high schools received funding for providing designated classrooms, with teacher supervision, where students could work on DL courses. “That was the biggest one where we saw decline,” said Manuel. “When the ministry took that

away, it made it harder for those kids to take the regular school program and take our program. It had a huge impact on enrollment.” Last year, the government also limited course availability for adult students. For years, graduated adults have been able to take any DL course for free with funding provided by the ministry. But last year, that was changed to only essentials – English, math, science, etc. “That was another big reduction,” said Manuel. The changes conflict with the ministry’s push for 21st Century Learning, and an education model that features K-12 blended learning where students can take courses at both brick-and-mortar and DL schools. But there are also positive

changes on the horizon, said Manuel. This year, the ministry changed policy to allow Grade 8 and 9 students to now access DL courses while enrolled in regular middle school. “We’ve got two more grade levels now – that’s a big positive,” said Manuel. “I think the Grade 8 and 9 change is going to have an interesting effect. I don’t know if it will reach that high again [from a few years ago], but it will have an impact.” There’s also references for K-12 cross enrollment in the school act, which Manuel believes could give DL schools even more grades to work with in the future. “DL is alive and well,” he said. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

‘GP For Me’ initiative gathers steam Cross-border

shopping takes hit as loonie falls: Poll

GP from Front She sees about 30 patients a day, and the limit for physicians to treat patients is 52 a day. Madill said there are inefficiencies built into the daily life of a physician, including tasks that could be delegated to other health care staff, such as nurse practitioners. If their day were streamlined, each doctor could potential fit in more patients and decrease wait times. The trickle down effect could be that people would end up in emergency or at walk in clinics, alleviating congestion there. But more importantly, patients would be seeing their own doctor more consistently, she said. Having a family doctor “improves health outcomes,” she said. “We are partnering to provide better health care for all of us.” They are slowly increasing the number of nurse practitioners in the hospital, and they are running an active recruitment campaign to encourage more doctors to come to the Chilliwack, Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs and Hope communities. “We have a vital strategy to not abandon our patients,” Madill said, and to fill in gaps left when doctors retire.

Dr. John Hamilton; a physician and the Primary Care Program Director with Fraser Health; speaks during a press conference at UFV Chilliwack explaining the GP For Me program. A recent survey of the communities of Chilliwack; Agassiz; Seabird; Harrison Hot Springs and Hope garnered 3, 095 reponses from patients and caregivers. The results will help the Chilliwack Division of Family Practice put together a proposal for more “attached” care between patients and family physicians. JESSICA PETERS/ BLACK PRESS

Madill acknowledged that the current wait times are not ideal, and that it can frustrating for people moving to town when seeking out a family doctor. She asked that people first contact the Primary Care Clinic in CGH, where the staff can assess their needs and put them in contact with a family doctor. “That should be their first contact,” she said, adding that pregnant woman and people with complex care issues will be placed in higher priority. “We can help them,”

she said. Dr. John Hamilton, a physician and the Primary Care Program Director for Fraser Health, underlined that attachment to a physician is of the utmost importance in communities across the province. “We’ve had physicians working very hard in this specific way for the last four years,” he said, and some people may have already noticed improvements in how their GP’s office operates. In B.C., 14 per cent of residents do not have a

family physician. While the last survey has wrapped up, the chance to weigh in on your health care needs is still available. A community forum will be held on Feb. 26, from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Squiala Community Centre. Registration opens at 5 p.m., with a dinner served at 5:30 p.m. The Chilliwack Division of Family Practice will be putting forth a proposal to the General Practices Ser vices Committee about the community’s needs in mid-May, said

Ken Becotte, the division’s executive director. The whole process has opened up discussion among local doctors, he said, and has already resulted in changes. “We’ve got them thinking about what’s working,” he said. Following the presentation to the GPSC, they hope to implement some new strategies. For more information about the Primary Care Clinic at CGH, call 604-702-2850.

Want to Improve your Business Image?

A new poll shows cross-border shoppers still nip across the line for deals but they’re doing it less often because of the slide in the value of the loonie. The online survey by Insights West found 61 per cent of Metro Vancouver residents drove across the border at least once in the past 12 months, down from 74 per cent reported in a similar poll a year ago. Insights West president Steve Mossop said the findings also show the 10-cent slide in the Canadian dollar against the U.S. greenback – from US $1.01 a year ago to about 91 cents – is starting to have some impact. The poll found 37 per cent of respondents expect they will drive to the U.S. less often due to the less favourable exchange rate, while 60 per cent said their cross-border shopping patterns won’t change. “The shine has worn off a little bit because of the dollar’s impact,” Mossop said, adding Lower Mainland residents are very aware of the exchange rate and its impact. “The majority of people in Metro Vancouver are still taking trips across the border. It’s still a massive number.” The B.C. Business Council has previously estimated about $1.3 billion a year is being drained from the Lower Mainland’s retail economy by short-term cross-border spending. Mossop thinks that outflow may be reduced by 15 to 20 per cent if the dollar holds at its current level.

“Ducks swim in that pond. There are eagles and geese. It’s bird habitat nearby. I fish all year round to feed my people,” said Jimmie.

B.C. budget balanced, but tobacco tax climbs Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Finance Minister Mike de Jong unveiled B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second straight surplus budget Tuesday, with few spending and tax changes as the province plans for economic growth driven by natural gas exports. The biggest tax change is that provincial tobacco tax goes up 32 cents a pack April 1, on top of the latest federal increase

B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s share is expected to generate another $50 million, and de Jong said a â&#x20AC;&#x153;significant portionâ&#x20AC;? of that will be used to develop smoking prevention efforts in partnership with the Canadian Cancer Society.

DENTAL IMPLANTS 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.

Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.

Pointsof View

The Chilliwack Progress is published by Black Press Group Ltd., every Tuesday and Thursday at 45860 Spadina Ave., Chilliwack.

Prescription for failure It is said the definition of insanity is to repeat the same behaviour over and over again and expect a different result. So it should come as no surprise the shambolic state our criminal justice system is in, especially when it comes to dealing with chronic offenders. The approach of the Canadian justice system is almost entirely focussed on investigating crimes, prosecuting those responsible and incarcerating them. And when the sentence is up, the criminal is unleashed on the public with no meaningful support or supervision to do it all over again. And so the cycle of crime and incarceration continues. As a result of this approach, police resources are stretched thin, courtrooms are backlogged and jails are full. Not only is this approach ineffective at preventing crime, it’s prohibitively expensive. Unfortunately, very little consideration is given to why people commit crimes, and how they can better supported so they don’t keep committing them. As several recent reports on chronic offenders notes, the vast majority of these individuals suffer

from extreme cases of mental illness exacerbated by drug addition. Their crimes, thus, are symptoms of their illness. An approach that treats chronic offenders as sick human beings and provides them with long-term treatment, supervision and support will undoubtedly have more success than the current dysfunctional model. And while the thought of rehabilitating criminals instead of incarcerating them may seem like mollycoddling to some, bear in mind this approach has been proven to save taxpayers’ dollars and reduce crime. The Delta Police report cites none other than the State of Texas as an example of this approach being successful not only from a public safety standpoint, but from an economic one as well. That is why it is disappointing to see Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party’s so-called “tough-on-crime” approach, which advocates more of the same punitive treatment of criminals that has been so spectacularly unsuccessful for so long, just on a much larger scale. The result will be a predictable failure, and will cost Canadian taxpayers billions of dollars. ~ Black Press

B.C. V IEWS

So who really provoked a province-wide school strike? VICTORIA – I made an error in a column two weeks ago about the latest court ruling in favour of the B.C. Teachers’ Federation. I referred to an “illegal” strike in 2012, and was quickly reminded that this teacher walkout was sanctioned by the Labour Relations Board. After months of withholding report cards and refusing to meet with administrators, the union went to the LRB to seek permission for a full-scale strike. They got their wish, with authorization under essential services rules for a three-day strike in the first week, and one day a week after that until the end of the school year or a settlement was reached. For the record, the last illegal BCTF strike was in 2005, in defiance of a B.C. Supreme Court order that resulted in a $500,000 fine against the union.

That was the same year BCTF lawyers won a split B.C. Court of Appeal ruling allowing teachers to bring political propaganda into classrooms. Two out of three judges decided this was appropriate to preserve their freedom of expression. The authorized three-day strike went ahead Tom in March 2012. FLETCHER Regular readers may recall my reports of students being indoctrinated in classrooms and in some cases sent out as union pickets, and of the strongarming of unionized government office staff here in Victoria to make them join a rally on the legislature lawn. This was the strike that, accord-

ing to the current media and political narrative, the provincial cabinet conspired to bring about. This notion is central to the Jan. 27 ruling of Justice Susan Griffin that orders the B.C. government to attempt to reconstruct the world of 2001. Government lawyers filed an application with the B.C. Court of Appeal on Friday to suspend parts of this ruling. Imposing Griffin’s terms would cause “irreparable harm to the public interest of unprecedented magnitude,” they said in arguments backed up by a series of affidavits from superintendents who have to keep B.C.’s war-weary public schools running. In Surrey, returning to 2002 conditions would add $40 million to the district payroll in year one. That’s one of 60 school districts. The government’s submission includes affidavits from superin-

tendents around the province on its likely impact. Here’s a partial list: Cancellation of specialty programs for vulnerable youth; construction of portables to meet arbitrary class size restrictions; transfer of some students to other schools; closure of daycare and Strong Start preschool programs to free up space reallocated over the years; layoff of non-teaching staff; and, cancellation of school participation in the international student program. Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender have begun to push back against the conspiracy theory that has taken hold, pointing out that when the BCTF finally did get permission to strike, the cabinet of the day acted to prevent it. Here’s a recap. In late February 2012, nearly 28,000 teachers (90

per cent) voted to go to the full strike allowed by the LRB. The government tabled legislation to impose a cooling-off period with provision for steep fines on the union for any further strike action, and appointed a mediator. This kept schools open, and eventually yielded a two-year deal. In April 2012, the union voted to withdraw all volunteer work by teachers. By this time they had been ordered by the LRB to prepare second-term report cards, in part so students would know if they could apply for post-secondary studies. Once again this mess is before the court of appeal. Perhaps there will be better recognition of the real world this time around. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

to goad teachers into job action. I’m angry, ‘fed up’, frustrated, disillusioned and incensed that my rights as a Canadian citizen have been violated by this Liberal government which seems to think that it’s above the law and need not abide by Courts’ decisions. My constitutional rights are being denied by the stonewalling actions of this Liberal government. However, my outrage about the situation continues to fuel my resistance to the current B.C. government’s attack on democracy. No government is above the rule of law. No institution is above the rule of law. No one is above the rule of law. Norm Wright

Disappointed with city’s intervenor absence Tuesday, Feb. 12 marked the deadline for application to the NEB to participate in the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion review. Despite the transparent attempt to discourage dissent – represented by the onerous 96-page application form (absent from the Enbridge review) – over 2,000 applications were made. Sixteen jurisdictions

from Hope to West Vancouver applied as intervenors. Amazing. Almost alone in that group in not doing so, is my own city of Chilliwack – a jurisdiction affected at least as much as the others by the prospective pitfalls of the Kinder Morgan project. (Aquifer, schools, wetlands...) I think I can be forgiven for feeling that the city’s application

merely as commenter (submitting a letter) creates the impression of environmental concern – without any teeth. Again, city hall disappoints. I firmly believe a precautionary approach is vital in addressing an industry which decade after decade claims “newer cutting-edge recovery technology” (yet its still skimmers and booms 30 years

later); meanwhile Exxon/Kalamazoo/ BP Gulf et al. happen. Even while leaks and spills are on an accelerating increase, ultimately its not their likelihood we should be concerned about as a first priority - it’s the extent of the consequences. Imagine a Mayflower-Arkansastype accident occurring over our aquifer.

On Wednesday, February 5th, my purse fell un-noticed by me, onto the parking lot of the Chilliwack Library A very honest lady picked the purse up and immediately took it to a library staff member. A message was left on my phone to say that the purse had been turned in, before I had even arrived home! Thank you, to that very special lady. Sadly, she did not leave her name, but I am hoping she will reveal her identity to someone in the library, who will pass her name to me. To my latest heroine: please won’t you be my Valentine, and leave your name so that I can thank you personally!

Re: Traffic Planning. I sometimes wonder if there is any intelligence used in our city planning department, regarding the flow of traffic, and the department responsible for the approval of new businesses. Most recently, a new Tim Hortons opened on the corner of Airport road and Young. There appears to be two entrances to this establishment, one on Young and the other on Airport Rd. The one on Young is easily accessed by northbound traffic and the other by westbound traffic on Airport Rd. I have found that many eastbound vehicles on Airport Rd. access the south entrance of Tim Hortons, by making left turns immediately after clearing the intersection, and in the process blocking eastbound traffic at the intersection and also westbound traffic. I, for one, could foresee the problem before the business even opened. Why couldn’t the planning department?

Cheaper flights also continue to draw B.C. residents south. A quarter of Metro Vancouver residents polled crossed the border at least once in the last two years to fly out of a U.S. airport. Lower U.S. prices compared to at home – whether it’s for retail goods or airline flights – remains the key reason for cross-border shopping, according to a large majority of those surveyed, while better product selection or availability is secondary. “There is a slight feeling of guilt,” Mossop said. “Seventy per cent say they’re aware it’s hurting the local economy. But it’s not stopping them.” The federal government committed in its latest budget to new action to punish retailers who charge unjustifiably high prices compared to the U.S., but there are few details yet of how that will work. The survey of 810 Lower Mainland adults was conducted Feb. 4-5. For more poll detail see insightswest.com. Mossop and other speakers, including Surrey Board of Trade CEO Anita Huberman, will be discussing cross-border shopping impacts Wednesday in Vancouver at a luncheon forum hosted by Retail Advertising and Marketing Canada.

Damon Calderwood and Gordon Roberts play the intrepid private investigators in Holmes and Watson Save the Empire, March 7 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Entertainment is elementary, dear Watson Fun for the whole family as Holmes and Watson Save the Empire The game’s afoot! The world’s favourite detective Sherlock Holmes and his faithful sidekick Doctor Watson are back to try and solve the mystery of Queen Victoria’s secret, foil their arch nemesis Professor Moriarty, and save the Empire once again. It’s a family-friendly musical jaunt to the 19th century, coming at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre March 7. The intrepid duo of Holmes and Watson are called upon to defend her majesty’s honour by preser ving Queen Victoria’s secret – a perilous pearl of imperial intrigue that is endangered by the dastardly Professor Moriarty and his plot to overthrow the British monarchy. Armed with song, dance, and an eccentric patri-

otic purpose, Holmes and Watson embark upon a quest to unravel these mysterious machinations against queen and country. Their escapades are packed with wit, wile, and wacky slapstick comedy. Bringing the classic Music Hall tradition of the Victorian era to life for audiences almost two centuries later, Holmes and Watson Save the Empire is colourful, eccentric and, quirky musical extravaganza, featuring elaborate costumes and set design. Singing and dancing their way to the heart of another confounding mystery, Holmes and Watson are portrayed by Damon Calder wood and Gordon Roberts, veteran Vancouver performers who received acclaim for their fresh and

exciting interpretation of the classic Canadian play Billy Bishop Goes to War. Coming together once again for Holmes and Watson Save the Empire, Damon and Gordon’s incredible dynamic and ability to tune into one another bursts from the stage as they take the audience on a journey filled with duets, quirky choreography, and the comic talents of these two seasoned performers. Damon and Gordon’s ability to invigorate the great institution of Holmes and Watson with comic charm, musical magnetism, and bags of British bombast has quite literally earned them outstanding ovations, with Holmes and Watson Save the Empire winning the Outstanding

Ensemble Production category at the 2014 Vancouver Ovation Awards. Said Tessa Perkins of Press Plus One: “Full of witty song, this is a hilarious romp through the strange world of deduction as the dynamic duo try to figure out Queen Victoria’s secret. The songs are upbeat and well executed, completing this delightful night at the theatre. A must see for Sherlock Holmes fans!” So make sure to grab your sleuthing hat and pipe and prepare for laughs when Holmes and Watson Save the Empire comes to the Cultural Centre this March!

The Angry Chef brings smiles to downtown The Angry Chef is feeling a bit happier these days. After opening less than two weeks ago, business is booming. But more importantly, Troy DeVries is feeling he’s found a place to showcase his food. DeVries and partner Adrian Skerratt have opened their new eatery in a funky location at the corner of Princess and Young in downtown Chilliwack. If the interior takes you back to a simpler time, it’s no accident. DeVries wanted a place that echoed a classic 1950s burger joint. It’s bright and cheery, and the jukebox in the corner keeps the 45s spinning. (Even the salt and pepper shakers on each table are made by DeVries from Coke bottles.) But it’s what happens in the kitchen that really makes DeVries proud. He’s not shy about the food he serves. It’s fresh, it’s hot, and frankly, he says, it’s the best in town. “I want my food to come out the way I would want it,” he says firmly. And after just two weeks, that approach is getting rave reviews (the Angr y Chef Facebook page already has

menu warns.) Seven styles of hotdogs are served up either grilled or

deep-fried, and the kinds of sandwiches and wraps number eight each. All come with your choice of either fries, salad, soup or chilli. Still, it’s the poutine that DeVries is particularly proud of. There are nine varieties, each offering unique combinations you won’t find anywhere else. It’s all served with an attitude that dares you not to enjoy it. But that attitude, says DeVries, simply reflects his determination to serve the best food he can. It’s his way of thanking the community for the support it has shown him. DeVries is not shy about the challenges he’s faced in the past; a life on the street, and the line cast to him by the Salvation Army. “This town has made me happy,” says the Angry Chef, “and this is my way of showing my gratitude.” The Angry Chef is open every day at 10 a.m., with the walk-up window open until 3 a.m. For more information, call 604.392.6479.

Feeling at home at Triple Play Jo-Anne Thompson is determined to put the “neighbour” into “neighbourhood pub.” As general manager at the Triple Play pub, located in the historic heart of Chilliwack’s downtown, her goal is to build a place where everyone feels at home. “My idea of a neighbourhood pub is a pub where anybody can come in and experience what they want,” Thompson says. “I want this pub to be whatever you want it to be.” Triple Play already has a great feel. The former bank building at Five Corners has that old world ambience, coupled with a sophisticated urban edge. Bright and roomy, it’s the kind of place that feels cosy, but never crowded. The new pub’s been open barely six weeks and already it’s showing a loyal clientele. The emphasis is on local, Thompson says, both in the food and beverages it serves, and the commitment it makes to the community. Triple Play is maintaining a vigorous dedication to the celebration of the craft beer renaissance, she says. During the past few years, the interest in small and distinct breweries has exploded. Triple Play plans to showcase this bounty, with a particular emphasis on B.C. craft breweries.

Jo-Ann Thompson, seen here with her staff, is the general manager at Triple Play Pub located at Five Corners. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

The food, too, has a local touch. Everything is made inhouse, including the burgers, sandwiches and Triple Play’s signature pulled pork. “You can’t find it anywhere else like this,” she says proudly.

Thompson is no stranger to the pub industr y. She worked 23 years at the pub in Rosedale – 17 as manager. That experience taught her a lot about community and the role a business can play in making it stronger.

It’s something she plans to continue at Triple Play, with regular fund raising events in support of local charities and non profits. (A recent event, for example, raised $150 for Ruth and Naomi’s Mission.) Says Thompson: “I’m so

excited about having regular fundraisers, and we’re eager to help any local charity.” Triple Play Pub is located at 45975 Wellington Ave. For information, call 604.996.4743.

Pink Shirt Day cont’d.... employees are bullied at the workplace on a weekly basis. “Pink Shirt Day gets people talking,” Milmine says. “People are talking about it leading up to it, and on the day itself. You’re going to talk about why you’re wearing a pink shirt that day, and youth are reminded of the resources available to them.” Pink Shirt Day was started in Nova Scotia by two teenage boys who, after seeing another male student bullied for wearing a pink shirt, decided to gather their

friends and all wear pink to school. CKNW AM 980 was inspired by their action, and since 2007 has raised over $650,000 for anti-bullying programs in B.C. through the sale of their pink shirts. You can purchase your own shirt at London Drugs or online. This year’s campaign is being presented by Coast Capital Savings, with Black Press as a media partner.

The dangers of Ask.fm The website and smartphone app Ask. fm is a social-networking site where people can ask other users questions. It’s extremely popular with pre-teens and teens, but recently it has become well-known for facilitating cyber-bullying instead. It has been referenced in several suicide cases around the world as part of the bullying the victim experienced that led to their suicide. The biggest issue with Ask.fm is that questions can be submitted anonymously, and content is not monitored, so abuse of the service can be rampant with no repercussions to the user. Even if someone is blocked, that person can still view profiles and see other interactions, and privacy settings cannot be increased as they can on Facebook and Twitter. According to RCMP Const. Tad Milmine, the Latvia-based website also sends daily spam with messages suggesting users kill themselves and calling them ugly, among others, with no name attached. Parents are urged to monitor all social media accounts and talk to their children about their online activities in an effort to prevent cyberbullying, and remember that the terms of service of Facebook, Twitter and Ask.fm require users to be at least 13.

Chilliwack netminder Josh Halpenny tracks the puck as Nanaimo crease crasher Spencer Hewson tries to punch it in during a BCHL game at Prospera Centre. The Clippers beat the Chiefs 7-6 Saturday night. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Chilliwack rallies for last-minute win Three goals in the final minute helped the Chilliwack Chiefs down the visiting Surrey Eagles 5-3 Saturday night at Prospera Centre. Down by a goal heading into the 59th minute, the home team got two from Mathieu Tibbet and one from Zach Diamantoni to turn the tables. Chiliwack earned its sixth win on home ice this year and improved to 13-35-24 overall. The Chiefs have won three of their last four games, none more dramatic. Tibbet got the scoring started in this one, sniping his 23rd of the season at 6:16. The veteran shrugged off a weak stick-check from Danton Heinen, found some space in the high slot and rifled a shot over the blocker of Eagles keeper Bo Didur. Chilliwack’s lead was shortlived, with Surrey’s Jonah Renouf netting the equalizer just 93 seconds later. Thwarted on a wraparound attempt, the Ontario native collected his own rebound

and snapped a short-side shot over the shoulder of Chiefs goalie Spencer Tremblay. The Eagles took the lead five minutes later on a shorthanded goal by Joseph Drapluk. Mitchell Fyffe got a well deserved assist. Leading a two-on-one rush down the left wing, the New Westminster kid pulled the puck around diving D-man Daniel DelBianco and whipped a backhand pass across the goal-mouth. Drapluk onetimed it past Tremblay for his 10th of the year. Tremblay looked to be shaken up late in the period, and backup Josh Halpenny took his spot to start period two. Penalty troubles had the home team hanging by a thread midway through the middle frame. First, Tanner Cochrane was given five minutes and a game misconduct for spearing a Surrey defender. On the penalty kill, Kiefer McNaughton drew two minutes for an

elbow, putting Chilliwack two men down for 4:15. The Eagles ended up with just one goal, scored by Drapluk. With less than five minutes remaining in the middle frame, Tibbet threaded a pass through the legs of Eagle D-man Matthew Dawson. Diamontoni reeled it in and one-handed a shot past Didur, hitting the 10 goal mark for the year. Diamontoni’s crew escaped to period three down just one goal, with shots on goal through 40 minutes favouring Surrey 31-19. Halpenny made a huge save halfway through period three to keep it a one-goal game. With his team on the power play, McNaughton tried an illadvised across-the-blueline pass to Carter Cochrane that was picked off by Drapluk. The native of Pembroke Pines in sunny Florida had a clear-cut breakaway with tons of time to pick his spot, but Halpenny got his left leg on

the shot. With 6:46 remaining in the game the Chilliwack kid made another huge stop, getting his glove on a Heinen shot from point-blank range. The offence made his efforts count, netting the game-tying goal with 55.6 seconds left. Diamantoni set it up with a centering pass from the left corner. Tibbet pulled the trigger, roofing the puck for his second of the game. He got the hat-trick tally with 31.2 seconds left. Again it was Diamantoni with the assist, a centering pass from below the endline. Tibbet onetimed this one, blowing it past Didur for the game-winning goal. Diamantoni added the insurance marker nine seconds later, wading into a goal-mouth scramble to pop a loose puck into the cage. The three stars were Tibbet (first), Diamantoni (second) and Halpenny (third). The Fortis BC Energy Player of the Game was Mason Boh.

Unity Christian’s Grade 9 basketball boys broke a nine year East Valley championship drought Friday night, taking down the AD Rundle Rams to claim their first title since 2005. The Flames beat AD Rundle 42-38, but the true drama happened in an earlier semi-final win over the Vedder Vipers. UC rallied from 21 points down to beat Vedder 65-61, with Jacob Visser and Jed Koning scoring 19 points apiece. Dylan Both drained four points in the final minute to put the game away, bringing back

UC’s senior girls squad is ranked sixth in BC. They will be heavy favourites as they host their Fraser Valley tournament this weekend. “Basketball all the way down to our Grade 6’s is super strong right now,” Campbell said. “Several of our parents played on Abby Christian’s powerhouse teams of the 90’s and are able to bring top level coaching to our school from the grass roots level. Our support networks are tremendous.” Campbell expects to see a packed gym Saturday afternoon for the senior girls final, tipping off at 2 p.m. The senior boys’ team will try to qualify for provincials on the road Saturday, playing at Abby Christian.

Chilliwack’s Aaron Pauls will represent the University of the Fraser Valley and his country when the 2014 World University Golf Championships tee off in Crans-Montana, Switzerland. Pauls, a fifth-year member of UFV’s topranked men’s team, is one of 11 varsity athletes (six men and five women) selected to Team Canada. Pauls finished last season with the third-best cumulative score in the PACWEST, and placed second overall at CCAA nationals. He is the first Cascade in the school’s history to be appointed to the national team, and he won’t make the trip alone. His UFV coach, Chris Bertram is head-

ing overseas to guide the women. During nine years coaching the Cascades, Bertram’s teams have never missed a CCAA (Canadian Colleges Athletic Association) podium spot, are five-time PACWest champs, two-time national champs and have won 13 of the last 16 events they’ve competed in. He’s a three-time PACWest coach of the year and the 2013 CCAA coach of the year. The tournament runs June 23-27 on the picturesque Crans-surSierre course, located in the heart of the Swiss Alps. This is the tourney’s 15th year. Get info online at wucgolf2014.com/

The Vedder middle school Vipers beat Chilliwack middle school 27-19 Friday night to win the second straight Fraser Valley East Grade 9 girls basketball championship.

memories of former UC star Scott Elzinga. Elzinga led the Flames to this same title in 2005, but passed away in a tragic farming accident a year after graduating from high school. “They both wore the same number (eight) and Dylan is the same size Scott was,” said UC coach Mike Campbell. “All the alumni were watching the game and recalling Scott doing all the same things. It was a cool moment to remember him.” This year’s Flames roster includes five players in Grade 9 and four in Grade 8. They’re currently ranked No. 1 in BC, with a great chance to win it all at provincials. It’s a good year for basketball at the school.

GW Graham’s injury-ravaged senior girls basketball team is still alive in the chase for a provincial berth. After topping Southbridge 51-32 in a Fraser Valley semi-final last weekend, the Grizzlies face their arch-rivals, Abbotsford Christian, Thursday night. Tip off is 5:15 p.m. in the GWG gym. The winner gets a berth in provincials. The loser isn’t dead, but has to go the back-door route, taking on another regional opponent for the spot. Jenika Bannerman and Erin Steele should be back in the GWG lineup.

Chilliwack’s rugby Crusaders fell 20-7 to Surrey last weekend in their first game of the spring season. The Crusaders started well and got on the board first. Brian Harding sent a kick to the far corner, and on the next play Lozzie Davies crashed over for the lone Chilliwack try. Solomon Puckey added the convert. Defensive lapses helped Surrey to score twice in the last 10 minutes of the first half, taking a 15-7 lead into the break. The Cr usaders mixed in some subs in the second half, and the fresh legs helped them keep most of the play between the 22 yard lines. But a yellow card proved costly. Down one man due to a foul, Chilliwack couldn’t keep the visitors out of the end-zone. Surrey’s unconverted try wrapped up the scoring. New players are welcome at Tuesday and Thursday night practices (7 p.m.) at the CFB base field.
