Appeal court stays order to reorganize schools
■ T HE P OWER
OF
P INK
Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. Court of Appeal has suspended a lower court ruling that would force B.C.’s school districts to reorganize around teacher contract terms that were scrapped by the government in 2002. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the latest turn in the long-running legal battle with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation allows stability for parents and students while negotiations continue on class size, special needs support and other issues. The decision provides a “stable environment” for the 60 school districts to prepare for next September under existing arrangements, he said. “We need to now get back to the table and see if we can find that sweet spot between both parties where we have a negotiated settlement,” Fassbender said. Those negotiations, to replace an imposed contract that expired last June, are scheduled to continue next week as BCTF members take a strike vote. The appeal court decision, released Wednesday, allows the government to pursue its appeal of a January ruling that it argued would cause major disruption to schools, which will likely take several months. In January, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin found for a second time that B.C. legislation imposing contract terms violated teachers’ right to collective bargaining. In his decision, Justice David Harris agreed with submissions from district superintendents around the province. “The evidence demonstrates that the immediate reinsertion of the deleted Continued: STAY/ p4

Four-year terms ‘practical’ says Chilliwack mayor Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Reaction in Chilliwack to a decision to move to a four-year term of office for local government was somewhat favourable this week. The extended term of office idea was the result of a Union of B.C. Municipalities vote last September, said Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz, and it’s reassuring to see the province following through on the matter now. “I concur that four-year terms
are practical,” Gaetz said. The plan to extend city council and school board terms from three years to four could be passed in time for next fall’s local government elections. Gaetz said she experienced a steep learning curve taking office as a novice school trustee and later as a city councillor. “In some ways you’re just getting started after three years,” she said. “I also support it because it will save money on elections, which can be an expensive endeavour for a municipality.”
There was also widespread support by UBCM delegates for the idea. “Over whelmingly elected officials said they wanted to move to a four-year term,” said Gaetz, describing the debate on the UBCM convention floor. “It allows (newly elected) officials a chance to really plan for the future, starting with learning their jobs. They also said they wanted time to plan for and complete major projects in their communities.” If there was a down-side, it was the suggestion by some
delegates from rural B.C. communities that four years could make it harder to get people to run for office, or the job might be viewed as too big of a commitment. “But overwhelmingly the majority were in favour,” she said. Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development Coralee Oakes announced the provincial plan to introduce it shortly in the legislature. “The reason why provinces Continued: TERMS/ p14

Union, government trade shots over strike vote Katie Bartel The Progress The provincial government has called the teacher strike vote uncivilized and premature. Peter Cameron, chief negotiator with the BC Public School Employers’ Association (BCPSEA), said he was surprised to learn of the strike vote announced by BCTF earlier that day. Especially given that the BCTF, he said, had not yet presented a negotiating position of its own. “In the absence of a salary posi-
tion from the union, [the strike vote] is particularly striking,” Cameron said in a news conference held Tuesday afternoon. “If the union wants to get into that kind of debate,” he said, “they do have an obligation to put their position forward for public discussion.” Earlier Tuesday, BCTF held a press conference lambasting the government for unfair negotiating practices. The union outlined the government’s salary offer that included a 0.5 per cent increase at ratification. Because the cur-
rent contract ended last year, that means the union will have been without a wage increase for four years. However, Cameron emphasized that position as an opening position. “I just think it’s extraordinary to go to the public and to their members and say ‘Look at this opening position, isn’t it terrible?’ without using the word opening,” said Cameron. “And once again, I’m asking, where’s their opening position so we can have a reason-based con-
test in the public if that’s where they want to go.” Cameron recognized the tactic as a pressure tactic for the government, but said that parents and the school community as a whole should be concerned. “The long-term consequences of friction within the school system, that should be a concern to everybody,” said Cameron. The two agencies have been in contract negotiations for a full year. Prior to Tuesday, it had been fairly amicable with all details discussed at the table, not in public.
■ H OOP S TAR
Chilliwack Board of Education was neutral in its reaction to the strike vote. “We are optimistic that ongoing contract talks between the BCTF and the government will bring resolution to the matters related to provincial bargaining as soon as possible,” said board chair Walt Krahn in an email response to The Progress. The strike vote is next week on March 4, 5, and 6. If the majority is in favour, the union has 90 days to activate job action. kbartel@theprogress.com

Crash scenario to play out at airport Friday Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Some familiar yellow aircraft were spotted in the skies over Chilliwack this week. Two CC-15 Buffalo airplanes and two CH-149 Cormorant helicopters are part of a military exercise that will feature a mock airplane crash scenario at the Chilliwack Airport Friday morning. More than 70 personnel from 442 Transport and Rescue Squadron, part of 19

Wing Comox, will be participating in SAREX 2014, the annual training exercise of 442, said Trevor Reid, public affairs officer with the 19 Wing. “It takes a huge team effort,” Reid said about the three-day training exercise in Abbotsford and Chilliwack. Part of the task involves transport of computers, communication equipment, aircraft parts and more to a site where the training is taking place, usually a remote location like the air tanker base in

Abbotsford, as was the case this year. “It takes a lot of coordination, as well as the training and practice required to undertake the transport and rescue operations.” In the case of a search for a missing and downed airplane for example, the requirements are for all of the rescue aircraft to be fairly concentrated in the search area, which requires precision and planning, he said. Friday’s simulated airplane
crash will also see search and rescue technicians parachuting into the mock crash scene to help survivors. They’ll also be preparing the scenario’s injured participants for air transport to hospital. Some local members of the Civil Air Search and Rescue Association, including local pilots and aviation enthusiasts, will also be on-scene during the exercise which wraps up on Friday, Reid added. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno
Historic buildings in the Irwin Block will remain standing a little while longer in downtown Chilliwack. The heavy structural demolition at Five Corners is slated to start on March 13. City of Chilliwack officials released a work schedule this week, which makes it clear the demolition should be complete by March 28. MWL Demolition got the deconstruction work underway this week starting with the removal of garbage and hazardous materials from the three buildings located at 9282 Young Road, 46110 and 46116 Yale Road. The cleanup and prep work will take about 12 days, and the structural demolition will be underway March 13-19. The properties were expropriated and purchased by the city at fair market value, after independent appraisal. The purchase prices were $600,000 for the Young Road property, $240,000 for 46110 Yale, and $245,000 for 46116 Yale. City officials said they expect to see some offsetting increase in the value of the land after redevelopment. There’s also an expectation that they’ll collect significantly increased property taxes on the redeveloped site, and that the pressing and longstanding social issues downtown will be improved. The demolition itself will cost $141,000, as contrasted with the estimated cost of major repairs which was for $800,000 to bring the buildings up to code. The land assembly efforts were among recommendations from a Downtown Core Task Force that looked at ways to accelerate revitalization of the area ahead of the 20 to 30-year estimate. A similar approach was employed in the late 1990s when properties were assembled to make way for the new courthouse downtown. The “hazardous” items that will be removed from the site during the haz-mat abatement include standard materials found in buildings of that age that may contain asbestos, said staff, like plaster, drywall filler and pipe insulation. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Stay brings stability, minister says STAY from Front terms into the collective agreement will probably lead to a dislocation of current planning and budgeting or the next school year, immense challenges in hiring sufficient suitably qualified staff, layoffs of employees, change to available school programs, cancelling school programs, creating more classes, moving students to other schools, disrupting programs for special needs students, the provision of additional classroom space (likely through the addition of portables where space permits), and the breaking of contracts with community groups who use school space for their activities as school districts reclaim the needed space to accommodate additional classes,” Harris wrote. BCTF lawyers had argued that the 2002 rules could have been reinstated in time for the 2014 school year. Harris said it would be unlikely the appeal of constitutional arguments would be complete by then, and if it is successful, the school system would have to be made over again.

News ™ Thermafrax Coolants hot target for new climate rules Jeff Nagel Black Press A surprise climate change culprit may soon be in the crosshairs of Metro Vancouver as regional district planners pursue tough new regulations to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Commercial freezers and refrigeration units found in supermarkets, warehouses and other industries that aren’t properly maintained can leak specialized chemicals that are potent greenhouse gases. According to Metro estimates, those coolant leaks could be equivalent to releasing 500,000 to 1.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide per year in this region, because some refrigerant chemicals have up to 12,000 times the warming effect as regular CO2. Eliminating the leaks could therefore cut up to one tenth of the region’s current greenhouse gas emissions of 15 million tonnes per year, helping Metro toward its goal of a 33 per cent reduction (from 2007 levels) to 10.5 million tonnes by 2020. So senior planners are beginning to consider imposing fees and violation penalties on businesses with such cooling units to ensure they’re periodically tested and inefficient units get fixed. It would be Metro’s first foray into greenhouse gas regulation, tearing a page from similar climate change rules to control refrigerants in California.
Except the regional district isn’t yet sure it has the legal authority. “It’s a good test case,” said Roger Quan, Metro’s director of air quality and environment. Metro has provincially delegated authority to regulate regional air contaminants and already has a mandatory carrot-and-stick program in place that punishes owners of older soot-belching off-road diesel machines, while offering them rebates on their fees if they retrofit. The question is whether that regulatory power can extend to greenhouse gases, not just localized pollution. Quan noted federal law has designated greenhouse gases as air toxics. “We think there’s a case to be made for looking at greenhouse gases as air contaminants.” A first step would be seeking a legal opinion, then Metro would extensively consult affected businesses. If Metro’s power over GHGs is confirmed, it could set the stage for more rules to rein in emissions, staff told Metro directors Wednesday at a workshop on climate change strategies under consideration. North Vancouver District Coun. Mike Little said he’s surprised businesses wouldn’t already be aware of refrigerant leaks, because it would cost them extra money all the time, but added it could be “low-hanging fruit” for emission reductions if the estimates are cor-
rect. “We have a responsibility to explore it,” he said. A program of mandatory testing for refrigeration systems might cost up to $300,000 to develop but then be self-funded through fees, Metro planners say. It’s thought that cost savings from plugging leaks will help owners, who may also be encouraged to put curtains and covers over open coolers and freezers in supermarkets to cut energy costs. Air quality planner Eve Hou stressed a wide range of measures must be pursued – rather than aiming at just one single sector – if the region is to have a shot at hitting its targets, which also call for an 80 per cent reduction by 2050. Metro’s two biggest sources of greenhouse gas emissions are vehicles and buildings – each make up a third of the total. If the 2020 target were to be hit strictly by targeting vehicle emissions, it would require taking 90 per cent of vehicles off the road by then, or converting all of them to electrics. Other emission sources are industry (15 per cent), ships and other non-vehicle machinery (15 per cent), agriculture (three per cent) and waste (two per cent). Over the long term, planners expect the impact of vehicles to decline as car technology improves, but building heating emissions are expected to continue to climb.
QUESTION: What is Thermafrax™?
ANSWER: Thermafrax™ treatment is a revolutionary combination of 2 gold standard treatments; Thermage™ and Fraxel™. This treatment produces skin tightening plus skin rejuvenating. Doing them together creates even better results! These are non- surgical treatments and they help correct the most significant signs of aging: sagging skin, wrinkles, skin texture and pigmentation. The Thermage™ portion of the treatment uses radio frequency to safely heat the deeper layers of our skin which in turn stimulates existing collagen. The Fraxel™ laser uses pinpoint laser beams that penetrate beneath the skins surface to eliminate damaged skin cells and stimulates the body’s natural healing process. – Dr. Marianna Snyman

Staff at the Chilliwack Progress have been nominated for six newspaper awards, presented annually by the British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspaper Association. Eric Welsh is nominated for best sports writing for his two-part series on Denis Kondrashin, a coach with Chilliwack’s Cheam Skating Club. Titled “From Russia with Skates,� the story chronicles Kondrashin’s early life in Moscow, his journey to Canada and the challenges he faced coming to a new land. It’s a tale of adventure, perseverance and, eventually, happiness as Kondrashin finds a new home. Alina Konevski, who now works for The Progress’s sister paper the Abbotsford News after completing a temporary position in Chilliwack, is nominated for best feature series. Her stories, “Living with mental illness,� chronicled the challenges and harsh realities of housing, employment, social
support and criminality. Photojournalist Jenna Hauck is up for two awards this year. Hauck is nominated in the category of black and white feature for a shot she took at the Othello-Quintette Tunnels. She’s also nominated for the portrait/personality photo award for a photograph of local artist Maxwell Newhouse, titled “Driftwood Drummer.� The Progress’ creative services department also earned recognition. Bonnie Krulicki is nominated for advertising design for work she did with the Waterstone Law Group. And finally, editor Greg Knill is nominated for best editorial for a piece he wrote that questioned the Chilliwack School District’s zero-tolerance policy on discipline. The awards will be presented at the River Rock Casino in Richmond on April 26.

Tips for traveling during spring break
One of the most important things you can do for your lawn is to feed it with properly scheduled fertilization applications. These feedings differ depending on the time of year. A healthy lawn will inhibit moss and weed growth and have a rich green appearance all year long.
fall
Lawns wake up hungry in the spring. Feeding your lawn in the late fall strengthens roots and gets things off to a good start before the heavy growing season. What you are trying to achieve at this time of year is strong root growth without forcing excessive top growth just before the colder season. A fertilizer higher in potassium like a 15-5-32 is affective at this time of year. In our wetter climate, you will want to do this as the grass is slowing down but still growing.
spring
Your grass is busy and using up stored energy. That’s why you want to supply the lawn with a feeding designed for this season. Unfortunately, broadleaf weeds are actively growing, too. You may want to spot spray them with a selective herbicide a couple of weeks prior to feeding your lawn (no use encouraging those weeds!). Use a fertilizer higher in Nitrogen to get things going. A slow release 23-3-23 with a component of iron can be quite effective. This can be done as you notice the grass starting to come out of dormancy.
summer
Summer is tough on grass because of the stress of heat, drought, foot traffic, and insects. Feeding your lawn in the summer protects and strengthens it against these problems. Make sure that your grass is green and actively growing if you are going to feed at this time. Again a ratio of 23-3-23 is recommended. A well-fed lawn is healthier, which means it has a better root system to combat heat, cold, drought, and other stresses. Be sure to read the product label thoroughly prior to use. And understand how to calibrate your spreader before you start!

your destination country. And keep checking our site for official advice and the information you need to travel wisely and return home safely. See a health care provider or visit a travel health clinic preferably six weeks before you leave to make sure your vaccinations are up-to–date and for other advice on how to protect yourself from illness and injury. If you are travelling with children, make sure you read tips for healthy travel with children, children and travel and taking children on a plane and carry a consent letter, if necessary.
Your Canadian health insurance will not protect you when you are outside the country. Get the best travel insurance you can buy. Check the expiry date of your passport. Do you need to renew it? Do you need a visa to enter your destination country? Pack a travel health kit and read other health tips, including eat and drink safely and insect bite prevention, before you leave home. Pack an extra supply of your prescription or over-thecounter medications in case you are away for longer than expected.
Buy a pre-owned home, and still get to pick your specifics?? Is that possible?? Wouldn’t you love to buy an older home but be able to pick your own kitchen and fixtures and even the paint color on the walls??? Buying new is great because you get to pick your own colors and specifics. But we know a way that you could save the cost of buying new and still have the option to make it what you want........ It’s called Purchase plus improvements and it is quickly becoming an option to help clients get exactly what they want out of a used property. How can purchase plus improvements help you? Whether you are buying a home for yourself, as an investment; or you are a realtor and are looking for creative ways to help sell that property. The Purchase plus improvements program can help. It is often overlooked as an option, however if you are a buyer or a realtor this is a tool you can add to your belt. Many people are able to look past the visible eye sores and see a final product that will be a worthy investment. How it works is as simple as its title. You are buying the home and mortgaging the improvements in with the purchase price. It is as simple as getting estimates for what you would like to do, submitting to the lender for review then once the improvements are complete you receive a cheque from the notary in the amount of the improvements. Some lenders will even allow you to do the improvements yourself and receive the estimated $$$ for the improvements. This can be a significant benefit for someone in the industry or simply someone who is handy on the reno scene. 2-14F HM28

British Columbian residents invited to help as unrest in Ukraine continues Frank Bucholtz Black Press
AUDITIONS
The honourary consul for Ukraine in B.C., Mir Huculak, is publicizing opportunities for British Columbians to help the families of shooting victims in Kyiv, Ukraine, and those who were injured in anti-government protests. Between
75 and 100 people died in the upheaval, which led to President Viktor Yanukovych fleeing Kyiv on Friday, and a plan for new elections in May. Huculak is a regular attendant at Langley’s International Festival, where he represents the many Canadians of Ukrainian background. Canada has the third-
largest group of people of Ukrainian descent in the world, behind only Ukraine itself and Russia. The total number of Canadian residents of Ukrainian descent is 1.5 million. Many of the original Ukrainians who came to Canada did so before the First World War to settle on the Prairies, but
there has been a steady wave of immigration over the years. This has often been due to a series of tragic circumstances, including the forced starvation of millions under Josef Stalin, known as the Holodomor, and the upheaval and destruction
caused by the Second World War, in which about seven million Ukrainians died. In more recent years, immigrants have come to Canada from Ukraine, since it gained its independence when the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics col-

Drivers still don’t get it
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
Too many drivers are just “not getting it.” Texting and talking on cell phones is still a widespread practice in this city and across B.C. Barely a day goes by without spotting some Chilliwack driver with one hand on the wheel and another on the phone. Consider that local figure in the context of this chilling provincial statistic: The Insurance Corporation of B.C. says distracted driving remains the third leading cause of fatal car crashes in B.C. On average, 91 people are killed annually. Drivers are four times more likely to crash when talking on a handheld phone and 23 times more likely to get in a crash if they text behind the wheel. Looking at your cell phone for less than five seconds is equivalent to driving more than the length of a hockey rink – 64 metres – with your eyes closed. It’s common to hear the phrase, “Is it going to take someone getting killed in order to ...” With nearly 100 attributed fatalities per year, that question has been answered in chilling fashion. If deaths don’t convince people to keep their hands off their cell phones, what’s required here? The fine for a distracted driving ticket is $167. Clearly, that is not enough of an incentive to convince many drivers to put down the electronic device, and if they must talk, to invest in a hands-free. What will it take to truly change people’s attitudes about driving and cell phone use? Fines of $300? $500? Impoundment of vehicles, similar to the measures implemented to reduce impaired driving? It’s obvious that the existing ban and penalties for cell phone use while driving, along with accident statistics, aren’t enough. And neither is hoping for common sense to prevail. ~ Black Press

No doubt Sunday morning when the snow started to fall they were catching some zzzzz’s after watching another game - the gold medal hockey thriller in Sochi. By the time the weather guys got a snowfall warning up on the EC website, snow was falling hard with east winds blowing at a good clip. But it was geographically variable. According to Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for EC, north of the Highway the snowpack was less than 50 per cent that of Garrison Crossing. Cultus Lake and Columbia Valley got a full blast. Weather forecasting is a complex science involving thousands
of atmospheric observations of pressure, wind, temperature, and humidity from ships, buoys, weather balloons and satellites. Some scientists call it a chaotic system – not that it’s out of control, but that the tiniest factors at any single moment can have a huge impact on the weather to Margaret come. One climate scientist on the EVANS U.K.’s Met Office website said that one flap of a seagull’s wings could change the course of weather forever. More poetically, it is call the butterfly effect. Millions of these observations are fed into supercomputers capable of trillions of calculations a second. These computers then
feed the outcomes into virtual models of the atmosphere based on the laws of physics. The further out they try to project the weather, the more wobbly the predictions become. But with the science at hand, a seven-day forecast is pretty accurately do-able. So last weekend’s inaccurate forecasting by the weather guys was a complete surprise, apparently even to them. Nationally, forecasting the 2013-2014 winter has been pretty extraordinary with extreme and rare events that have got people asking, again, about climate change. The polar vortex is back for the third time this winter across central and eastern Canada and the U.S. bringing with it severe cold. Manitoba and Ontario are looking at wind chills taking temperatures to minus 30C or minus 40C. And

we are only three weeks away from spring! Arctic air is usually kept in place by the jet stream, a westeast air current at about the altitude of jet flight that marks the boundary between polar air and warmer southern air. But with the Arctic heating up faster than many other parts of the world the jet stream appears to be weakening, allowing the frigid polar air to leave its home base and slip further south. The strength of the jet stream is proportional to the difference in temperature between the poles and the tropics. When it is strong, it has a straighter path but when it is weak it can meander in wider loops. With the Arctic getting warmer, the difference between the two regions is getting smaller and the jet stream appears to be weakening in lock step.
Weather isn’t climate, as exasperated climate scientists are quick to point out but, in the face of an extreme winter for many parts of Canada, people are quick to question. “You can’t “see” climate change,” said David Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada. “You have to understand that climate change moves very slowly but with wild swings. We are conditioned to the fact that what we think of as climate actually doesn’t occur any more. Weather is not what it used to be. We plan for weather based on normal but we don’t have normal any more. There’s a joker in the weather deck.” Those wild swings could become more common in the future. We’ll need some good weather forecasting to keep up.

Bullies need more than a talking to I have written letters to the newspapers before usually ranting about something that has got me fired up. But this time is much different as this involves my own son. We recently found out that my son has been getting bullied for over two years at his school. (We won’t mention any names). Not just within the compounds of the school, but also while he is walking to catch his bus and at the skate park. In one week of discussion with other parents, the list of students also bullied by this boy grew by 10. All by the same boy and his cronies.
In the school district code of conduct it clearly states, “We believe in a safe, caring, equitable, accountable and collaborative learning and working environment.” Just more hogwash as far as I am concerned. We were informed by the principal that he was aware of this boy and that this boy is very smart, if I know what he means, and that probably nothing will happen to this boy as he has never been reported before. Here on the heels of anti-bullying week and the message of zero tolerance is preached all while bullying is allowed to hap-
pen everywhere. I think it’s time to stop talking and start taking action against bullying. This boy at the very least should be suspended and also made to apologize to my son, us his parents and the entire school. Otherwise what is lesson is he going to learn. I feel just awful for my son and the other kids that have also been impacted by this and also very proud of them for speaking up. I wish I could say that I am proud of the school system, but I cannot.

Have the courage to own up Just wanted to express my disappointment publicly about an incident that occurred at my house yesterday morning. The side roads were icy and dangerous yesterday, and I realize that accidents do happen, but I was very disappointed to return home from work yesterday to find skid marks onto my lawn and three or four of my mature cedar trees taken out. I don’t want any reimbursement, after all they are just some trees, however, there was no note left or any attempt to apologize. That’s all I want. If you have an accident, can’t you just be honest and own up to it? Some more honesty in this world would be nice. S. Hermann
Accept the court ruling, Premier Clark In 2002, then Liberal Education Minister Christy Clark introduced legislation that increased class size, decreased the number of specialist support teachers, and removed limits on the number of special needs students in a class. When the BC Teachers’ Federation mounted a court challenge, the government’s actions were found to be unconstitutional. The Liberal’s response was to enact Bill 22 — a virtual copy of
the previous legislation — which not surprisingly was found to be unconstitutional in a judgment handed down by Madam Justice Griffin just over a week ago. Over the last 12 years, the BC Liberals have played cynical political games with taxpayers’ money. Rather than adequately fund our public education system, they have chosen to spend money on a 12-year court battle, one that they have lost twice. What’s more, they are now con-
sidering an appeal. Had the Liberals chosen not to arrogantly flout the constitutional rights of its citizens, a generation of students would have received the public education they need. Let us hope that Ms. Clark changes her mind and accepts the court’s decision. It is, after all, the right thing for a government to do. Lynne Marvell President Fraser-Cascade Teachers’ Association

about whether she’d be in favour of a longer term. “That would be a tough call,” Clark said. Clark served a combined total of 17 years on city council and school board locally, which meant three terms as a trustee, and almost three as a councillor. “If it’s your first time elected and you’re fully committed to things, four years might not seem like a long time. But someone running for their third or fourth term, it might seem like a long time.” Former Chilliwack Mayor Clint Hames, who was elected as a city councillor in 1990, and served as mayor from 1999-2008, said he didn’t really have a strong opinion either way. “I guess if you have good governance, four years seems like a good idea. If you don’t, it feels like a long time. “A community like Chilliwack is generally well ser ved by its local councils and boards, however, there are many places where

four years is going to feel like a very long time.” Hames said the notion that adding a year to the mandate “will somehow allow Councils the opportunity to see projects through to completion is a bit of a mystery to me. “Most municipal projects have much larger timelines, having to fall within a mandator y five-year capital plan. Ironically, I think the politicians who support four-year terms think this is an opportunity to solidify their relationship with the electorate. “I suggest that the longer you keep politicians away from the voters, the more changes you will see on election day. “The positive from this might be a larger voter turnout.” The changes also mean the next municipal election would be held in October 2018, on a schedule that follows provincial elections by one year. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Building a new school at $20 a brick The Progress Jayden Sprangers is no stranger to hard work. The fourteen-year-old has been working on his family’s farm, doing odd jobs, practically since birth. But this spring, he’ll be challenged with a job like no other. Jayden, along with a team of 18 others from Mt. Slesse middle school, is going to build a school in Kenya. While admittedly the extent of Jayden’s actual building experience is nothing more than a wobbly pillow fort, he can’t wait to get his hands dirty. “I’ve always wanted to help people out in some way,” said the Grade 9 student. “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I hope it will give me more leadership skills and show me more about what the world is like outside of North America.” The Kenyan school project is part of Me to We. Me to We is an organization, founded by Canadian brothers Craig and Marc Kielburger, that works to empower change, helping people make a direct, positive social and or environmental impact on the world. Me to We is under the umbrella of Free The Children that hosts the annual We Day event in Vancouver. At this year’s We Day, local schools were challenged to support the organization’s goal of building 200 schools in developing communities around the world by the end of 2014. Each school built, large enough for 55 students, costs $10,000; $20 per brick. For some schools, that financial commitment proved too daunting. So, for Chilliwack, rather then work solo, 13 schools combined forces to build one school in Kenya. “Some of the schools in our district, like Greendale, are smaller and it would have been impossible for them to have raised the $10,000 on their own,” said Mt. Slesse leadership teacher Sandi Rae. But together, Rae had no doubt they’d achieve their goal. So far, the collective has raised $7,645 – just $2,355 shy of their goal. Since October, the schools have held several fundraisers including a Christmas child-minding day camp; a movie day at Cottonwood Mall; bake
sales; ice cream sales; dances; and more. Likely the most impressive was the anti-bullying day T-shirts fundraiser. Two students, one at Mt. Slesse middle and the other at Promontory elementary, came up with designs for pink shirts that were sold at $10 a piece. The fundraiser amassed a whopping $3,200. “Our community [of schools] is going to be helping a whole community,” said Rae. “The importance we’re going to have is long lasting.” For Grade 9 student Maegan Emmons, the initiative has completely changed her perspective. “We complain about having to go to school, but these girls [in Kenya] can’t,” said Emmons. “I feel so bad because these people should have a right to education, but they don’t. It makes you thankful for the things we have.” The build a school campaign isn’t a hand-out, it’s a hand-up. Free the Children focuses on education as the highest return of social investment. However, it doesn’t just build a school, it works with the countries to create programming and initiatives to ensure education is maintained over the longterm. The organization also improves access to clean water, sanitation, and health care. It provides families with the resources to generate a sustainable source of income that includes training, support and workshops. It educates communities on food security through innovative farming techniques suitable to each community. “It’s like giving them a stepping stool so they can climb up and keep getting better and better,” said Emmons. “And maybe one day, when they’re in a better position, they’ll be able to help others too,” added Grade 9 student Emma Boutilier. “Like a chain reaction.” The collective is continuing toward its goal and hopes to have the $10,000 raised by June. The next fundraiser is a skating party by donation at Prospera Centre on March 27 from 4 to 5:30 p.m.. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33
A group of 12 Chilliwack schools are raising $10,000 to build a school in Kenya. One of the fundraisers was to sell two different styles of pink anti-bullying T-shirts throughout the district which raised over $3,000. Kole Heibner (foreground) of Mt. Slesse middle school designed the shirt he’s wearing and an elementary student designed the other shirt at left.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
Can Toyota’s Tundra ride alongside heavyweight brands like Ford, GM or Ram?
Tugging at the tails of top selling trucks If there is one segment of the auto business that takes dynamite to get people to change brands, it’s the full-size pickup truck category, I’m sure most of us know of someone who is a “Ford guy” or The Tundra is “Chevy diehard” owner, even as capable as and getting him or her to move to a new many of the domestic truck would be almost brands but in some impossible. ways it still has a way It wasn’t until the last to go to truly be an Toyota Tundra was introduced in 2007 that alternative to Ford, Toyota was a real conGM and Ram. tender. That 2007 Tundra and this refreshed 2014 Zack Spencer model are designed, engineered and even built in America, helping to pull loyal domestic buyers away. The Tundra is even as capable as many of the domestic brands but in some ways it still has a way to go to truly be an alternative to Ford, GM and Ram.

is a step up from the lower trims but not nearly as supple and luxurious as the new batch of interiors from Ram and GM. Those trucks, in particular, have almost luxury-sedan interiors that make the driver forget they are in a truck. The Tundra, in comparison, is a bit stark, featuring a hard, simple plastic dash and door pieces that don’t compare. The centre screen is smaller than many competitors are, and the screen embedded in the instrument cluster is small. What has been improved is the overall layout of the centre console. The back seat is massive and flips up with just one hand to make room for interior storage. I found the last Tundra to have a very high seating position that limited headroom. This new 2014 seems to have a better seating position, no longer crimping headroom for taller drivers. Drive Powering the Tundra are two V8 gasoline engines. The base model has a 4.6L V8 with 310hp and 327 lb.-ft. of torque. The larger 5.7L has 381hp and 401 lb.-ft. of torque. This is one area that the Toyota cannot compete; there is no V6 offered and no diesel (Ram only), which the domestic makers do offer. By limiting the available engine options and not having a heavy-duty model that will certainly diminish the
number of domestic buyers willing to give Tundra a try. On the road, I was surprised at just how rough the ride is in comparison to the all-new GM trucks, which really are like driving a big sedan. I would also place the Ford F-150 and Ram 1500 a very close second in ride comfort. The Tundra is choppy on rough roads and the noise level is on the high side. Toyota claims to have improved ride quality on this refreshed 2014 model but I am not a fan of the ride. Verdict The Tundra is a capable truck. When equipped it can tow up to 4760 kg, which is on the high side in this class. What surprised me the most was the real “trucky” ride. I have had extensive seat time in all three domestic brands over the past year and I have to say that they are best sellers for a reason – the refinement is rather dramatic. The Lowdown Power: 4.6L V8 with 310hp or 5.7L V8 with 381hp Fill-up: 15.8L/11.0L/100km (city/highway 5.6L) Sticker price: $26,750-$54,000 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca
Looks As part of the 2014 redesign, Toyota went about setting up a slightly different look for each of its trim levels. Sold as an SR5, Limited and Platinum, each has a variation of the oversized front grille. The wheel openings are now larger and squarer, framing wheel sizes ranging from 18-inches on the SR5 and Limited and 20-inches on the Platinum. The Tailgate has a soft open feature, stopping it from slamming down, that is fantastic but there is no side step or ladder into the bed the way Ford and the new GM trucks have. Sold as a regular car, double cab or Crew Cab, there is a model for most buyers. Inside Just as the outside was redesigned to have a unique character for each trim, the inside mimics this idea. The Platinum model I tested is covered with a diamond pattern, or quilted look used on the leather seatbacks, side door inserts and dash front panel. It

Volvo V60 Sportswagon
BeneÀts of Leasing
By Keith Morgan
Las Vegas, Nevada – Volvo is hitching some of its revival hopes to a wagon – the 2015 Volvo V60 Sportswagon. Its grille is clearly all-Volvo but those typically boxy looks that characterized the make from your dad’s day are gone. In looks it’s a design variation of the S60 sedan and it will be a welcome sight for loyalists of the Swedish brand, having witnessed the demise here of the V50 and midsize V70 wagons. The wagon featured recently along with the S60 and XC60 crossover at a launch event in the Nevada desert. The Volvo execs present continued on page 20

RODENTS
This year we have been experiencing more than usual rodent problems in vehicles. Their favourite vehicle bungalow, from what I have experienced, are in your air filter box, engine area, and heater/AC system. Their favourite passtime is to chew on your electrical wiring and insulation. The more coloured the wiring, the better. Open your hood. Have a brief look for any signs of rodent feces, fluffy insulation laying around or chewed wiring. Catch it early! If you are all of a sudden den a rodent landlord, you need eed to deal with it. Get rid of the rodents and get your vehicle repaired and cleaned. If we can help, or you have questions, call or send us an email!

Volvo circles the wagon for success proudly talked about their new Drive-E powertrains, developed thanks to the megabucks available now
that the company is owned by the Chinese Geely Automotive. Ford ownership may now be retreating in Volvo’s rearview mirror but it is still beholden to the US manu-
facturer for the platforms upon which these three 2015 models ride. That will change later this year when the full-size XC90 crossover is set to sit atop Volvo’s so-called
Scalable Product Architecture platform. Model year 2014 saw a refresh of all three midsize Volvo models showing in the desert so this was truly
about the new engines. The Drive-E family of gas, diesel and hybrid (the latter not yet, but soon) engines are built around a single, 2.0-litre fourcylinder powerplant.
It’s a brave gamble, worthy of Vegas, when you ponder the XC90 relying on such a small engine. Asked if this were a safe bet, the Swedes just smiled and promised the

performance of the four-cylinder configuration will equal their big brothers by using such technologies as direct fuel injection, turbocharging, supercharging and . . . electrification. Here in the Great White North, just the two gas engines will be offered initially – the new turbocharged T5 pumps out 240 horsepower, while the turbo’ed and supercharged T6 adds another 62 horses. The base front-wheel-drive V60 T5, with a new eightspeed automatic transmission, will set you back $39,800. Volvos have never been cheap. The other three Sportswagons will continue to use existing powerplants, six-speed automatic transmissions and Haldex all-wheeldrive systems. However, I got much more seat time in the V60 and S60 (S60 with T5 $37,750. T6 $42,850). The T5-equipped wagon is a smooth operator in performance and ride. And while you won’t burn rubber at the green light, it will take off when necessary . . . not that we got any chance to pass in the low speed limit state park! Volvo says it will hit 100 km/h in 6.3 seconds if given the lead foot treatment. Inside, the instrument panel stretches the span of the car and features an attractive floating centre console, which mixes good looks with functionality. Swedes are safety conscious, of course, and that means lane change, cross traffic, blind spot warnings and alerts. The front seating is comfortable if a little soft on a long drive. Rear seating ditto and headroom is good despite the coupe-style slope of the rear. And a good view of the road fore, fore aft and side is enjoyed by all. Great stowage room in the rear. The 40/20/40 split second row folds flat to provide enough space to move a small apartment’s furniture. Just kidding but you get the picture.

Home&Garden Planting the seeds of success Around this time of year, millions of Canadians are leafing through seed catalogues or browsing through seed racks in garden centres. They are imagining all sorts of wonderful colour schemes for their garden and anticipating baskets of fresh produce. Most of these good things are going to come from seeds. It all seems fairly easy, but in reality, I would guess that less than 50 percent of all the seeds purchased actually grow to maturity. This is not because the seeds are defective, even though we like to blame them for our bad luck; it’s most often because we need a little more information on how to have success with seeds.

If you’re interested in saving money, there is some value in knowing at least a few of the basics about seed germination. Firstly, most of us buy too much seed. We keep thinking that vegetable seeds are such a great Brian investMINTER ment so we buy a few extra, just in case some don’t make it. That’s like buying a year’s supply of detergent when it’s not on sale. As a guide, many seed companies are now listing the number of seeds each packet contains, and seed catalogues are very good at indicating how many seeds there are per gram of seed. If you only need six tomato plants, why are you buying 100 seeds? The next problem area is what to do with seeds once we have them. Some folks leave them in the kitchen, some end up in the garage, and yes, many get misplaced or lost. The best place for virtu-
ally all your vegetable and flower seeds is in your freezer. Not only do you know where they are, but they are also being stored at a constant temperature and humidity. This stratifies them as well, which helps speed up germination. Timing is everything as the saying goes, and this is especially true with seeds. There has to be a natural progression from seed germination to planting outside in the garden. Unless you have a perfectly controlled environment in which to keep young seedlings, you must time your seeds to correspond with the readiness of your garden outside. In other words, don’t start outdoor tomatoes until early April. As a rule of thumb, a later start is better as our springs have been rather cool and wet the past few years. When the weather warms up to consistent day temperatures of 10°C, many seeds, like peas, broad beans, radishes and onions, can be sown directly outdoors in our garden. I’m also convinced that you need a cool, well-lit area in which Continued: SEEDS/ p27

Ten healthy habits of fit people Do you ever wonder how fit people stay fit? Year after year, they continue with their healthy, active lifestyle, while others manage only a few months of regular exercise before abandoning the Tanja gym. SHAW If you want to get, and stay in shape, learn from the best. Adopt the habits of fit, active people, and start moving your body! Fit people make exercise a priority. Exercise is essential to be healthy, and fit people know that. Fit people realize that a 30-minute sweat session is more important than watching the finale of Survivor or pressing the snooze button. Fit people adjust their schedule to create time for a workout routine. Fit people make workout appointments. If you have a meeting with your boss, or
a doctor’s visit, you make sure to show up, on time. Fit people schedule in exercise appointments. They treat them like any other appointments. Fit people are adaptable. Fit people will modify their exercise routine if they have an injury, shorten their routine if they have a tight schedule, or postpone their routine a day if they have an unexpected engagement. Fit people can adapt to change, but they don’t change the fact that they get their workout done. Fit people have workout partners. Fit people make plans to go for a walk, hike, or to the gym with their fit friends, family, or canine companion. While some fit people enjoy working solo, many realize that they will be more likely to exercise if they are accountable to someone else. Some people hire a personal trainer to keep them accountable. Working out with a partner can also make the exercise session more enjoyable
– something to look forward to. Fit people get their heart rate up! It may sound obvious, but fit people know how to get their heart rate up. Fit people still enjoy less intense exercise, such as a stroll by the river, but they break a sweat during a workout. Fit people are prepared. Exercise requires preparation. Fit people understand this and set themselves up for success. They remember to pack their gym clothes so they can hit the gym after work, or they prepare for the next day the night before so they can exercise in the morning. Healthy eating also requires preparation. Fit people pack their lunch, or ensure they have healthy alternatives when eating out. Fit people enjoy variety. Most fit people do not enjoy doing the same workout every day. They change it up to prevent boredom. Also, changing an exercise routine challenge muscles
differently and avoids plateaus. Fit people have a goal. Some people choose to train for a special event or race to keep motivated; other fit people simply have a goal of exercising four times per week. Fit people enjoy exercise! Not every fit person enjoys running on a treadmill; every fit person finds something they enjoy doing. Fit people may go for a power walk with friends, hike in the mountains, join a fitness class, or perfect their dancing skills with Dance Revolution Fit people avoid the ‘all or nothing’ mentality. In other words, fit people do not beat themselves up if they miss a workout, or sabotage their healthy eating regime because they enjoyed a slice of cheesecake. They understand that keep-
ing fit is a life-long commitment. When they get off track, they simply get back on the path of exercise and sound nutrition.

On Friday, March 7, the women of Egypt invite Chilliwack residents to join them in the World Day of Prayer celebration, praying under the theme, “Streams in the Desert.” Each year the World Day of Prayer service brings with it a feeling of curiosity, says local co-ordinator Winn Preibisch. What will challenge, inspire and encourage us? What will we learn about ourselves? Through the voices of urban, rural, young and older Egyptian women, the World Day of Prayer Committee of Egypt introduces their country on a human scale. They reveal Egypt as they live it: a country with one foot firmly planted in the past, teetering on the cusp of modernity, searching for the next step. Local organizers are inviting you and your friends and family to attend the World Day of Prayer service and learn more about the culture and heritage of Egypt. You’ll be joining Christians in more than 170 countries around the world and 2,000 communities across Canada who will gather on the World Day of Prayer and act in solidarity with the people of Egypt. The Chilliwack World Day of Prayer service will be held at Christ Lutheran Church, 9460, Charles Street on March 7 at 2 p.m. For more information about WDP services in Chilliwack, contact Winn Preibisch, 604.858.5224.

Hysterical Ladies of Laughter.
arrests made.
Comedienne’s celebrate International Woman’s Day.
E
verybody knows that it is women who really rule the world, and this International Woman’s Day a selection of the most her-larious comediennes will be demonstrating how they rule the stand-up stage when the Cultural Centre hosts its fourth annual I Am Woman! Hear Me Laff! comedy event on March 8, 2014! This will be the wackiest installment of this celebration of all things female yet, and the Cultural Centre is excited to introduce the ladies that will be leading the laughs for a night that should be in everybody’s comedy calendar for 2014! Headlining this fantastic line-up is the incredible Susan Rice, a veteran lady of laughter with 30 years of stand-up experience. Susan’s long and illustrious career has led her to perform for audiences numbering from 50 to 5,000, and honed her conversational and down to earth style of humour to absolute perfection. Counting the HBO Comedy Festival, Showtime Comedy All Stars, and The Las Vegas Comedy Festival among her industry credits, Susan is a genuine wonderwoman of wit, and the Cultural Centre audience will see why she’s still going strong after three decades when she takes the main stage! Melanie Rose became a regular crowd-puller on the Vancouver comedy circuit after debuting in 2007. This hysterical comedienne will be bringing her quirky comic capers to Chilliwack in I am Woman! as our featured performer. Melanie is the kind of comic that isn’t afraid to bare it all, and her deadpan delivery and honesty about her personal life has 2-14F CCC28
earned her a reputation as a totally unique and uproarious performer! First to the stage and to bring out the laughs will be Stephanie Michelle, who promises to get the sass flowing early on this night of comedy! Starting her stand-up career only a few years ago, Stephanie has quickly made an impact after coming second in the “Funniest Comic with a Day Job” and third in the “Funniest Female” categories at the Vancouver Comedy Awards in 2011. Stephanie is more than a warm up act – this young comedienne is guaranteed to have you howling with laughter with her saucy stand-up skills from the very start! Of course this orchestra of laughs wouldn’t be complete without a conductor, and the hilarious Janice Bannister will be emceeing I Am Woman! A professional teacher of stand-up comedy, we could think of nobody better than Janice to lead this event. This professor of puns is delighted to be involved with this fantastic female-focused event! “It’s awesome to see how I am Woman! has grown over the last few years to become a mainstay in the Cultural Centre’s Season, and I can’t wait to be involved! There’s great diversity of performers and with somebody in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, you’re going to hear things from all ends up the spectrum. It’s going to be a great time, and we’ll do a whole lot of laughing!” So what better way to celebrate the glorious phenomenon of womanhood on International Woman’s Day than with these four Queens of Comedy?

Don’s Day for Hospice March 8
9291 Corbould St.
When Don Hill passed away last March, his family wanted to do something to acknowledge the care and support he and the family had received through the Chilliwack Hospice Society. Hill had been diagnosed with cancer in April of 2011. And although he fought hard against the disease, it was a battle the former CFB Chilliwack soldier would not win. In January of 2013, on the advice of his family doctor, Hill was moved into Cascade hospice. “My father was a strong proud man,” says Shirley Pye. “The care given to him and our mother at such a hard time in our lives was a blessing to all of us. We were all able to spend quality time with dad knowing he was well taken care of.” On March 3, with his wife by his side, Hill passed away. Shirley and her husband, Richard Pye own Chilliwack River Valley Natural Honey on Adams Road. It’s a popular stop on the Circle Farm Tour and Greendale Craft Crawl, where visitors not only purchase a variety of honeys and honey products, but learn a little something about how it is produced. In December, visitors also learned a little bit about Hospice. The family had set aside an area with a selection of Christmasthemed items. All the money raised through the sale of those items was donated to the Chilliwack Hospice Society. Says Shirley: “The support we had from our customers was overwhelming and in a month we raised $450.” But they wanted to do more. So next Saturday, on March 8, they’re hosting the first annual “Don’s Day for Hospice.” On that day, 100 per cent of all sales at the store will go to the Chilliwack Hospice Society. “We will have coffee, and juice and some of the cookies my dad loved,” says Shirley. Chilliwack River Valley Natural Honey is located at 43476 Adams Road, Chilliwack. For more information, call 604-823-7400.

to place your young seedlings during the early stages of growth. Adjustable Powersmart lighting, adjustable heat and circulating fans are also important. It takes a bit of trial and error to really achieve success with germination, but the basics are a good medium, clean starting trays, bottom heat, good light and humidity. Professional starter mixes are probably the easiest way to go, and if you use these mixes in plastic cell packs or seed plug trays, your success will be far better. Many seed catalogues indicate the temperature at which the best germination can be achieved, and you can provide that temperature by means of a heating mat. Keep in mind, however, that they are not cheap. Very few seeds need to be covered with a growing mix for optimum germination. Most seeds need to be exposed to about 12 to 16 hours of high intensity light per day. They must, however, be kept humid. After watering them in carefully, using very hot water and a proper watering can or misting bottle, be sure you place some clear plastic or glass on top

of the trays to hold in both the warmth and the humidity. Seeds need to be checked twice daily for moisture. Germination time will vary with the type of seed, but as soon as they sprout, immediately remove the covers, cool them down, provide lots of light and keep the humidity up. A drenching with a fungicide, like organic â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Defenderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, will help prevent disease. Maintain the soil on the dry side once the seeds are up and away. Your greatest challenge will be to keep all your seedlings short and compact before they go into the garden. High light, moderate watering and cooler temperatures will help you achieve just that.

Ni h for Night f the h fans f The Chiefs will hand out team awards at their year-end banquet, though a few may not be decided till Saturday’s game, writes Jacob Bestebroer
Andrew Silard (right) wasn’t here for a long time, but Chilliwack Chiefs fans grew to appreciate his energetic and gritty play. He’s one of five Chiefs playing their last BCHL game Saturday as Chilliwack hosts Coquitlam. PROGRESS FILE
Last stand for Chiefs veterans Eric J. Welsh, The Progress As the Chilliwack Chiefs play their last home game of the 2013-14 season Saturday night, five players are playing their final junior A games. It happens every year. Graduating 20 year olds have one last hurrah before the home fans. They take extra time getting off the ice after the final whistle and tears flow in the dressing room. Then they turn the page and move on to the next chapter of their lives. Here are the five who, barring injury in Friday night’s road game in Coquitlam, will suit up for the Chiefs at Prospera Centre. The longest serving veteran is Mathieu Tibbet, who’s logged 132 regular season
He’ll be remembered for games in a Chilliwack unihis physical defence-first play form. The Delaware native and willingness to stick up struggled through his first for his teammates. Same story for two years as a bundle Tanner Cochrane, of untapped potential. who joined the But he put it Chiefs from Powell together this year to River early last sealead the team in goals son.

Big blueliner Kiefer was doubt he’d be back this McNaughton is the next year. Not only did he make it most-tenured Chief, with 92 back, he took the captain’s C regular season games. Though he’s got six goals after Austin Plevy was traded. His final season was played and 35 points in 55 games this year, the North Vancouver alongside brother Carter won’t be remembered for his Cochrane, a prized rookie on the Chiefs D. offence.
Andrew Silard, a Connecticut native and friend of former Chief Luke Esposito, joined the Chiefs this season, playing 54 games. He has tallied 12 goals and 29 points, adding a large amount of grit and energy. The joke in the press box was that the Fortis BC Energy Player of the Game was going to be renamed the Silard Award. The final departing Chief falls into the category of ‘we hardly knew ye.’ Defenceman Cody Bardock was picked up from the Trail Smoke Eaters in a deal for Brandon Volpe. Injury issues kept him on the shelf more than he would have liked, but the dependable D-man has logged 16 games for Chilliwack. Saturday’s game against Coquitlam starts at 7 p.m.
The Chilliwack Chiefs w rap up their season wrap w ith two games versus with the Coquitlam Express this weekend. There will be lots happening at Saturday’s meeting between the two teams at Prospera Centre as it’s Fan A ppreciation Night. Appreciation The first 500 fans will receive a free Chiefs collectible hockey card. Fans will also receive thunderstix from The Home Depot. Among the other prizes that will be handed out during the night are free haircuts from Great Clips, free pizzas courtesy of Papa Johns and a Chiefs signed jersey. The finale of the O’Connor Rapid fire will w ill take place with four contestants having the chance to win the 2014 Dodge Cherokee from O’Connor Dodge Chrysler Jeep. Chilliwack FC will also be holding their early bird raffle draw for the Harley Davidson. Chiefs fans really have been great this season. The T he average crowd size at Chiefs home games was w as over 1,600 per game despite the team spending most of their time in fifth place in the Mainland Division. Only two teams, Penticton and Vernon, V ernon, averaged more fans. One category that Chiefs fans did finish first in was the Five Hole For Food Challenge that each BCHL team took part in. Chiefs fans donated 10,100 pounds of food to the Chilliwack Salvation Army at the Dec. 29 home game. Second place went to the Merritt Centennials
fans who donated 4,470 pounds. The Chiefs will hand out their team awards att their year-end banquett on Sunday, though a few awards may not be decided till Saturday’s game. Three players have a shot at being the team’s top scorer. Mathieu Tibbet currently leads the team with 49 points. Carter Cochrane is two back with 47, and Zach Diamantoni has 45. Tibbet also leads the three star standings with 14 points. Looking at the standings, the Mainland division cannot change this weekend. Langley will finish first and face the Surreyy Eagles in round one while the Prince George Spruce Kings will take second and play the Coquitlam Express. Some great races in the other divisions though. Penticton and Westt Kelowna are tied forr first in the Interiorr Division. Each team has two games to left. Westt Kelowna faces Trail twice while Penticton will meet Salmon Arm twice. The division to watch is the Island division where they only thing nailed down is Nanaimo in third place. Victoriaa is in first with 78 points, two points up on Powell River. Both teams have two games left. Looking at the battle for the fourth and final playoff spot on the Island, Alberni is currently third with 49 points and one game leftt while Cowichan sits one point back but has two games remaining. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Cascades and Dinos in quarter-final third in Canada West rebounding, pulling down 42.8 boards per game. Top scorer Tamara Jarrett was 13th in the Canada West, averaging 13.5 points per game. Still, there’s no doubt the Cascades are heavy favourites after finishing the regular season 17-5. They went 9-2 at home and have a deadly combination of stingy defence and potent offence. On the attack, UFV
averaged 70.2 points per game, third best in the Canada West. They had the top D, limiting opponents to 53.3 points per game. Chilliwack’s Sarah Wierks led the conference in offensive rebounds, pulling down 4.1 per game. The Chilliwack secondary school graduate is eighth on the all-time Canada West list with 310 offensive rebounds over her four-year career. Her Cascades fin-
ished eighth at the CIS Final Eight tournament last year, the school’s first ever trip to nationals. Every player from that team returned this year. Game two of this best of three series versus Calgary tips off at 7 p.m. tonight. Game three, if necessary, goes Saturday night with a 7 p.m. start.

Celebrating Lives With Dignity
March 24, 1934 – February 19, 2014 It is with extreme sadness and heavy heart that Ian’s family announces his passing, in his 80th year, at Royal Columbian Hospital. He will be greatly missed by Mary, his wife of 58 years, daughter Irene (Iain), grandchildren Christopher and Danielle, and great grandson Caiden, who was very special to his Papa; sister-in-law Jen, nephews Robert and James, and brother-in-law Jim (Helen). Born in Glasgow, Scotland, he followed lifelong friends Neil and Rena, and their boys Don and David, to Canada in 1967. Ian, as a skilled carpenter, worked steadily in the construction industry before taking a position as maintenance supervisor at Shellburn, where he stayed until his retirement. For the first ten years in Canada, he resided in New Westminster, but afterward moved to many locations in the lower mainland before finally settling in Chilliwack. Ian made many friends during his life, particularly through his love of golf. He spent many happy days on the course with the guys in the Renfrewshire Golf Association, and at the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club, where he was a member for years. Sincere thanks to Dr. Blackwell and Dr. Karim for looking after Ian, and our heartfelt thanks to the staff in the ICU at Royal Columbian for their compassion, kindness and support through the most difficult times. No service or flowers by request. Donations may be made in Ian’s memory to the Royal Columbian Hospital Foundation. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, March 15, 2014 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at Fort Langley Golf Course, 9782 McKinnon Crescent, Langley, BC.

He also leaves 11 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren. He was predeceased by his parents Art and Hannah Wiltshire of Chilliwack. Gordon was a lifelong Chilliwack resident and attended Central School in the 30’s, and graduated from Chilliwack Senior Secondary in 1947. He spent most of his working years as a businessman in downtown Chilliwack. Dad enjoyed his wilderness backpacking trips in Cathedral Provincial Park. He achieved his goal to cross the finish line in the Vancouver Marathon, which he did twice at the ages of 60 and 61. Gordon and Marilyn loved their road trips to Reno, the southern U.S. and their yearly vacation to The Mauian on Napili Bay. Gord will be missed by all of us. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Chilliwack Hospice Society Information at :www.chilliwackhospice.org/ donations.html At Gordon’s request, a family gathering will be held on April 12/14. Details to follow. Please leave your condolences and good memories at www.hendersonsfunerals.com in the guest book on Gordon’s page. Henderson’s Funeral Home in care of arrangements. 604-792-1344.
