Slide puts spotlight on hillside challenges Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

really scary stuff.” Still, Jennifer has felt magnetized to the TV every time a story of the recent slide comes on. On March 22, after days of heavy rain, a massive mudslide washed through a small fishing village in Snohomish County, about 90 kilometres northeast of Seattle, destroying approximately 30 homes. As of Thursday 25 were confirmed dead, 90 missing, and 35 whose status is unknown. “It makes me realize even more how lucky we were,” said Jennifer. “That we managed to escape anybody getting hurt

The devastating mudslide in Washington State has one Chilliwack family recalling their own mudslide misery. Doug Ware doesn’t like to think about that horrendous morning four and a half years ago, but his wife Jennifer says it’s impossible not to with slide scenes from Snohomish County splashed all over the TV since Saturday. In the early hours of Jan. 8, 2009, the Wares were startled awake by a thunderous crack booming through their Ryder

Lake home, shaking it like a massive earthquake would, and then seconds later the sound no parent wants to hear – their daughter in the room below screaming at the top of her lungs. A current of mud and rocks had crashed through then 20-year-old Heather Sye’s bedroom window, large rocks narrowly missing her head, the force throwing her from her bed. By the time her parents reached her, all that was visible were the whites of her eyes. “I don’t like to go there, it’s pretty traumatizing,” said Doug. “If you let yourself go back there, the adrenaline starts to rush. It’s

seriously, except for the dog of course.” The family’s 14-year-old dog Ricki was found dead in the garage days later, buried under mud. Scenes on the news have had Jennifer remembering little things, like the deep freeze flattened down to six inches, or the trees in their backyard uprooted and mud-stained. “People don’t realize how powerful a mudslide is,” she said. “It’s so heavy it will just squash anything in its path.” Doug’s heart goes out to the American community.

The deadly mudslide last week in Washington State has brought into sharp relief the menacing power of nature. But Mayor Sharon Gaetz said Chilliwack is no more at risk for landslides than any other B.C. communities with surrounding hillsides, such as North Vancouver or West Vancouver. If anything the recent slide incident in Washington State’s Snohomish County has “strengthened our resolve” to do their very best with mitigation efforts, she said. It’s been a painful reminder of what can happen. “It has been incredibly sad watching the aftermath of what happened near Arlington, Washington. Our hearts go out to the families at this time of terrible loss,” Gaetz said. It also puts the spotlight on some of the unique geotechnical challenges. “From the City of Chilliwack’s perspective, we need to do everything we can to mitigate the potential effects of something like that ever happening.” That was part of the thinking behind the evolution in recent years of the Hillside Development Standards Policy. The city’s original “guidelines” on hillside development from 2008 were updated and solidified into an official policy last year. “We’ve learned an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” said Gaetz. “Our policy now has teeth.” If they can mitigate risks by requiring the geo tech engineer to sign off on proposed development, for example, and confirm the extent of any logging above the area, it’s a start. “The policy clearly stipulates the responsibilities of the developer and engineers on this,” she said. “It underlines the fact that we want to make sure those houses are safe.” Continued: HILLSIDE/ p7

Cultus Lake changes will drop the park board to five Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Residents of Cultus Lake are about to get more say in who is elected to the Cultus Lake Park Board. It’s something lake residents and leaseholders have been actively lobbying for, appealing to the provincial government and the B.C. Ombudsperson for help in recent years. Amendments to the Cultus Lake Park Act were introduced this week in the B.C. Legislature, proposing to cut the number of park board commissioners from seven

down to five. The shift in the power balance would also see Cultus residents electing three people to the park board, which is up from two. Chilliwack residents will only elect two people, which is down from five. Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness supported Cultus area residents when they went public with their call for more accountability and better representation. He tabled the 926-name petition the residents collected last summer. It called for a smaller park board, that would be elected only by residents of Cultus.

The petition was spearheaded by Gary and Sue Lister, residents of Cultus. The old voting structure of 5-2 created an “unfair situation,” they argued last summer when they were seeking support and signatures, since there were only two commissioners voted in by Cultus residents. “Many people in Chilliwack don’t even realize they are electing a board that is separate from Chilliwack (in a municipal election), when they vote for the Cultus Lake Park Board,” Susan Lister told The Progress last July. “There is a lack of awareness,

and a lack of accountability.” Throness agreed with the thrust of what the Cultus residents were calling for, but offered some amendments. Because Chilliwack still retains a legal interest in the Park, the MLA felt it was appropriate that two commissioners still be elected by the voters of Chilliwack, down from the original five. “I’m so pleased that our government has responded to the calls of residents and leaseholders of Cultus Lake to increase the accountability of the board to the people it serves,” said Throness in a press release.

The MLA said it will mean “better representation” for Cultus residents overall, with the power to elect three commissioners, which is up from two. A streamlined board will reduce costs, and bring them more in line with similar-sized communities like Harrison Hot Springs and the District of Kent, said the release. The bill could be passed and become law in time for the next election given the majority maintained by the BC Liberals, Throness added. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Measles outbreak too close to home Katie Bartel The Progress

A Chilliwack mother wishes parents would consider the dangers they’re putting on others when opting not to vaccinate their children. For more than two weeks Amanda Sewell has lived with fear in her heart because of the measles outbreak. The mother of three has essentially quarantined her three-year-old son Ian since first hearing of the outbreak. It’s not the first time. Ian had a liver transplant at

eight months old. The now active toddler was born with a blockage in his bile ducts preventing the removal of bodily wastes from his liver which could have resulted in liver damage or cirrhosis – both potentially fatal. Prior to the transplant, Ian was put on an accelerated vaccination schedule; he wouldn’t be allowed live vaccination, measles, mumps, rubella, post-operation. As such, he only received one of the measles’ vaccinations. As well, the anti-rejection

medications he requires to keep his liver protected weaken his immune system, and his doctors don’t know what sort of antibodies, if any, his replacement liver came with. “Ian’s body has a harder time fighting off infections and diseases,” said Sewell. “He does have some vaccinations, but who’s to say it’s sufficient enough to fight [measles] off, or to fully protect him.” Every time Chilliwack suffers an infectious outbreak, Sewell’s family goes into damage control.

They keep Ian at home. If they must go out, they Lysol everything he might touch, and sometimes even strap a surgical mask over his mouth and nose. It’s not the way Sewell envisioned raising her child, but until all children are vaccinated, it’s the way she must. “Typical three-year-olds would be in preschool and swimming lessons and sporting activities, but for his protection, he can’t really be involved in those types of things,” said Sewell.

Sardis secondary’s math teacher doesn’t hold back when he boasts about his students’ performance in the University of Waterloo’s Cayley Contest. “We kicked Yale’s butt,” teacher Bruno Chirico said. In fact, the school kicked the butt’s of every other team in the Fraser Valley zone. Sardis secondary ranked first in the internationally renowned math contest with a score of 388. Yale secondary in Abbotsford, which usually holds bragging rights for such math contests, placed third with a score of 371 – 17 points less than Sardis. “It’s always nice to beat Yale,” said Chirico, a proud smile glued to his face. “And it’s nice to see Chilliwack on top.” The Cayley Contest is a Grade 10 math contest put on by the University of Waterloo that stretches the minds of young mathematicians beyond what’s taught in the school curriculum. Most of the questions asked are real world problem solvers. “I wanted a challenge,” said student Sean Choi. “It’s different from school curriculum math, it involves critical thinking and has more depth.” Added Samir Rehmtulla: “It feels good when you can solve these kinds of puzzles, rather than just flat out math. “Curriculum math is not always easy, but it is somewhat dull. This provides an outlet for some more intriguing puzzles.” Sardis had five students competing, all with exemplary scores. In fact, Rehmtulla was the top student for the zone with a score of 138. Brothers Sean Choi and Ryan Choi weren’t far behind with scores of 126 and 124 respectively. “We like to compete against each other, and brag about our scores,” said Sean. “It’s always part of the motivation to try and beat each other,” said Rehmtulla.

A rally Wednesday in Chilliwack against the federal Fair Elections Act saw “democracy dogs” barbecued in front of MP Mark Strahl’s office. The lunchtime protest on Vedder Road mirrored similar rallies across Canada on March 25, calling on the Harper government to scrap Bill C-23. It’s seen as a threat and politically motivated tactic to restrict voting in the next election. The rallies turned into a national day of action, with a petition signed by thousands. About 60 people of different political stripes converged in the parking lot of the local MP’s office to ask the government to “kill this bill!” Rally organizer Wayne Froese read out a letter signed by Canadian university professors who believe

the Act, if passed, would “damage” the heart of the country’s democracy, which is the right to

vote in federal elections. Fairness and transparency were big concerns.

The move to dispense with voter ID cards and vouching, was roundly criticized, and the ID requirements are seen as unnecessarily strict, that could become a barrier to voting. It would also prevent Elections Canada from publicly reporting on election fraud, and cancel Elections Canada’s research and public education programs. “I believe our best defense against it, and our best action, is to create further awareness,” said Froese. “This is a right and it needs to be addressed.” Louis De Jaeger, president of the ChilliwackHope Liberal Riding Association, argued the “Orwellian sounding” Fairer Elections Act has more to do with “gaming” the system, and providing Harper Conser vatives with political advantage, than it has to do with fairer elections.

Farmland review creates two zones in the province By Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The Agricultural Land Reserve is being divided into two zones, with regulations to come to allow non-farm home-based businesses outside the southwest regions of high productivity. The changes affect three of the six regional panels of the Agricultural Land Commission, for the Interior, Kootenay and North regions. Details will be worked out in consultation with industry and placed in regulations, said Bill Bennett, the cabinet minister in charge of the government’s core review of programs. Non-farm uses will not be considered in the Island, South Coast and Okanagan regions, but “value added” activities such as food processing on farmland are being considered across the province, Bennett said. Bennett and Steve Thomson, acting agriculture minister, reiterated their assurances that the ALC will continue to operate independently. Commissioners are appointed by

cabinet, two or three per region, and decisions can be appealed to the regional chairs who act as an executive. Delta South independent MLA Vicki Huntington called the Interior zone change “deceitful and a betrayal of the public trust,” and accused the government of removing its obligation to consult with the ALC chair on new panel appointments. NDP agriculture critic Nicolas Simons was forced by the speaker to withdraw the term “deceitful” from his remarks in the legislature, as he accused Bennett of keeping the changes secret until after last year’s election. “The fundamental principle is that the reserve was set up for the entire province, not for zones here and zones there,” Simons said. Bennett said the only change to the Interior zones is the addition of “social and economic” factors in considering permitted uses. He gave the example from his Kootenay constituency of a market garden operator who was refused permission to build a second home on an unproductive

part of the property so the next generation could take over the business. Rhonda Driediger, chair of the B.C. Agricultural Council and operator of Driediger Farms in Langley, said she is looking forward to the changes that will allow development of new revenue. “The ALC is old and it hasn’t been updated in a long time,” Driediger said. “On a day-to-day basis it makes it very difficult in farming, especially when you’re looking to be progressive.” Faye Street, general manager of Kootenay Livestock Association, congratulated the ministers “for having the three Bs in the male anatomy to get this done – starting at the brain, backbone and work your way down.” Street said young farmers are not entering the industry under the current conditions, and allowing them supplementary income will help maintain the farmers.

Measles outbreak carries personal cost MEASLES from page 3

“It’s hard because you’re denying him typical, growing-up experiences when outbreaks like this occur,” said Sewell. As of this week, there were 228 confirmed cases of measles in the Fraser East region. Largely these cases have been contained to a small religious community in East Chilliwack linked to the Reformed Congregation of North America. However, there have also been confirmed cases reported at BCIT in Burnaby, UFV Abbotsford, and at one of Chilliwack’s public schools. Choosing her words carefully, Sewell expresses disappointment in those who choose not to vaccinate. “It’s upsetting,” she said. “The hope is that the transplant will sustain Ian through his lifetime, but there’s no guarantees. Transplants aren’t cures, they’re only treatments to a condition. Having gone through all that, I’m going to do whatever I can to protect him. “You can’t force anyone to vaccinate,” said Sewell. “But maybe they’ll think twice about their choices. If you vaccinate your own children, you can protect them from disease, and you can also help protect kids like Ian, or cancer kids going through chemo, or others who don’t have immunity.” For information on vaccine clinics, visit http:// fraserhealth.ca/your_health/immunizations/measles/immunization/. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Liberals, NDP spar over MMBC recycling rollout Minister defends cost shift to packaging, paper generators Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C.’s small business minister defended the province’s shift to a new recycling system Wednesday after a continuing attack in the Legislature by the Official Opposition. Naomi Yamamoto said the Multi Material BC program transfers recycling costs from taxpayers to the producers who generate pack-

aging and printed paper and challenged New Democrats to state whether or not they oppose that principle. “How many of us have come home after purchasing a relatively small item, struggled to unpackage the item and then found yourself with a mountain of waste material that we have no control over?” Yamamoto responded in Question Period. “This program actually provides an incentive to producers to

reduce their packaging.” The new system led by Multi Material BC is being resisted as too costly by various business sectors, including the newspaper industry and Black Press, the company that owns this newspaper. Yamamoto said the province asked MMBC to work with the small business community and the B.C. Chamber of Commerce, adding that led to a series of exemptions that absolve 99 per cent of small businesses of requirements to report and pay recycling fees under the new program.

NDP small business critic Lana Popham cited severe business impacts and demanded to know if the province will halt the scheduled May 19 rollout pending better consultation with businesses, municipalities and environmental organizations. “The premier is chucking B.C.’s recycling system into a giant dumpster by completely botching the implementation,” Popham said. “British Columbia deserves to get our recycling right.” Popham earlier in the week denounced MMBC as

a “red tape monster” controlled by Ontario-based corporations and multinational firms that aren’t sufficiently accountable to B.C. stakeholders.

Newspaper industry representatives have warned newspaper closures and large-scale job losses are likely if the MMBC rollout continues unchanged.

PROTEST from page 4 the sitting party, but not opposition parties or democracy in general, he said, and the Harper government even used its majority this week to defeat amendments proposed. “This bill needs public opposition and should be challenged at every level,” De Jaeger said. Former Chilliwack MLA Gwen O’Mahony noted the non-partisan nature of the rally and thanked the participants for showing up and “caring about Canadian democracy.” Bill C-23 doesn’t do anything to enhance the democratic process, which is failing, “especially when we’re facing historic lows of voter turnout,” she said. Rallies were held at more than 25 MP offices with a petition signed by more than 80,000 Canadians. Called “Let People Vote!” it was a national day of action supported and facilitated by Leadnow.ca, the Council of Canadians, and Canadian Federation of Students. “People are worried that the changes to the elections law are politically motivated,” said Jamie Biggar, Executive Director of Leadnow.ca. “We’ve seen politicians use similar tactics in the US to disenfranchise people if they think they will vote for the other side.” A recent poll shows that most Canadians oppose the provisions in the Unfair Elections Act that would eliminate the voucher system, prevent Elections Canada from publicly reporting on election fraud, and cancel Elections Canada’s research and public education programs.

Contracted Service Provider Required The Province of B.C. is looking for contractors to support its Responsible Gambling Strategy. The following Contracted Providers are required: In this Jan. 9, 2010 photo, Heather Sye and parents Doug and Jennifer Ware, sit in the bedroom that Sye was sleeping in when a wall of mud came pouring into her room on Jan. 8, 2009.

Washington mudslide stirs memories “We know what it’s like to go through a mudslide, but it’s nothing like what they’re going through,” he said. “I wish I could go and help them. I wish we had the resources.” The Wares settled out-of-court with the City last year, and after hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of renovations and repairs, their house is still not completely back to

where it was pre-slide. The family is convinced their mudslide was not a natural disaster, but a poorly built drainage system on Ryder Lake Road, between Ross Road and Elk View Road, with ditches not deep enough to handle the heavy rain. “It was something that was waiting to happen and we didn’t know,” said Doug. And Heather? For several months

following the mudslide she lived in her own personal hell. Diagnosed with post-traumatic syndrome, she spent months in therapy. She couldn’t sleep at night, every time she closed her eyes, she saw the mud caking her body, the rocks crashing all around. She repeatedly played the ‘What if?’ game. What if she didn’t make it out alive. But today, now 26, she has a masters in

City’s hillside approach has changed, says mayor HILLSIDE from Front There are many checks and balances in place now, but still no local government “can completely insulate you from Mother Nature,” she said. Whereas in the past the hillside assessment process was relatively quick, now it’s a matter of paying very close attention to detail with a prescribed level of professional scrutiny. “They have to engineer every specific lot that is being proposed. They sign off on the plans and take responsibility if anything goes wrong,” Gaetz noted. While there is always a chance of a landslide occurring on steep slopes, it is important to understand that the term landslide actually describes many types of downhill earth movements ranging from rock avalanches and debris flows in mountainous areas, to more slow moving earth slides, according to staff. Many factors can trigger landslides including: heavy rainfall or rapid snowmelt, erosion, poor construction practices, freezing and thawing, and shaking caused by an earthquake. The value of geotechnical expertise, which is used to review sites and conditions to identify potential risks,

is paramount in the process. “We’ve been learning about development on hillsides and the risk that comes along with it. But when we’re trying to protect farmland as Chilliwack has, there’s not much other choice but to consider it.” Some of the older properties were not subject to the same scrutiny they have to employ with the development projects of today, said the mayor. “We are now infilling on the valley floor, but if we go back 10 years or so, there has been significant development on the hillsides around Chilliwack.” Growth projections by city staff show there could be 1,200 additional homes in the Eastern Hillsides over the next 20 years. About 85 per cent of new residential growth will be on the valley floor, in the Chilliwack Proper-SardisVedder corridor through infill redevelopment and densification. It’s an established trend they’ve seen over several years. Only eight per cent of the residential growth will happen on the hillside areas with the remaining growth distributed across the rural areas, according to OCP 2040 Growth Projections by Neighbourhood.

It used to be said that “It takes a village to raise a child”, and we here at Chilliwack Secondary still believe that to be true. Over the years, “our community” has stepped up to the plate over and over again to help us make our students’ school experience a special one in a plethora of ways. Most recently we asked the original cast of the custom car builders from the “girls grad cars” (era 1996 – 2001) if they would consider building one more very special car for the celebration of the grand opening of the new CSS. Their answer was a unanimous “YES”, and so along with a few new “players” and a fresh group of CSS girl grads, they put together a school car to be retained for student and school related events. Thank you to a truly remarkable group of community members, our job here at the school is better because of the way that you willingly took on “one more” project for our students.

R AESIDE

The Auditor General says British Columbia isn’t prepared to cope with a major earthquake. Then again, is anybody? Geologists say a mega-thrust earthquake, like the one that killed 131 people in Alaska 50 years ago, occurs about every 600 years along the West Coast. Other scientists say we have a 12 per cent chance of getting hit by a big quake in the next 50 years. Such a quake, if it’s accompanied by a tsunami, could cause $75 billion in damage, says the Insurance Bureau of Canada. That would devastate the province’s economy, says the Auditor General. While the government responded by promising to take immediate action to address the Auditor General’s concerns, it’s hard to imagine we’ll ever reach a state of preparedness that will allow scientists to exhale and challenge Mother Nature to bring it on. No country is better prepared for the “big one” than Japan. After all, it’s been hit by a fifth of the world’s biggest earthquakes. But when a magnitude-9 earthquake, followed by a huge tidal wave, hit northeast Japan in March, 2011, the country was still caught off guard. Almost 16,000 people died. Damage topped $300 billion. A nuclear power plant was damaged. The lesson to be learned from the Auditor General’s report, and Japan’s experience, is that we can’t rely on government to keep us safe. We have to assume the worst will happen and do what we can to ensure our own survival and of our loved ones. When it comes to natural disaster, we can only mitigate the risk. ~ Black Press

Chilliwack and B.C. no stranger to mudslide risk The fatal mudslide in Snohomish County, Washington, came without warning and took no more than one minute to rip out homes and kill at least 24 people. At the time of writing, some 90 people remain unaccounted for. The devastating slide has all but obliterated the tiny town of Oso, 88 kilometres north of Seattle. One geologist reported that the slide was over 1,300 metres wide and that in places debris was over 10 metres thick. Nearly 50 structures have been destroyed. Horror has given way to despair as desperate survivors wait for word of missing loved ones while the grim tally mounts. They cling to hope, praying for miracles, as rescuers struggle through the quagmire of dangerously unstable mud pushed up into berms of clay and quicksand.

Navigating over that terrain is both agonizingly slow and treacherous. Rescuers were helping rescuers to stay safe. The cause for this tragedy has been excessive rains which saturated the land making it extremely unstable. A smaller slide happened in 2006 and a past report allegedly warned of the Margaret potential for catastrophic failure. EVANS When the slope let go, it released mud, rock, trees, and debris that blew down the hillside at a staggering 20 metres a second. Anyone in its path didn’t stand a chance. Landslides are no stranger to people in B.C. In January 2005 a mudslide in North Vancouver

destroyed two homes and killed a woman sleeping in her bed. In 2008 the Sea to Sky highway near Whistler was closed for five days after a massive rockslide almost took out a passenger bus. It happened again in 2011 when a rockslide near Lions Bay destroyed a vehicle and released rocks the size of cars down the slope. In July 2010 an aging dam gave way near Oliver, releasing mud, water, trees and debris down the hillside and destroying five homes and several farms. A month later, a two-kilometre wide landslide in the Pemberton River Valley put one thousand residents on flood alert. In July 2012 four people died when a massive landslide destroyed several homes in the Kootenay community of Johnson’s Landing. And just two months ago, a rockslide on Highway 3 near Keremeos closed the route completely.

Landslides and land instability profile the Chilliwack region with the potential for dire consequences. In June 2011 a landslide east of Chilliwack roared across four lanes of the highway and onto the railway track. It slightly injured one woman whose car was rolled by the debris. “There is a history of small landslides and debris flows in the Chilliwack River valley between Slesse Creek and the mouth of the valley,” said Dr. John Clague, Canada Research Chair in Natural Hazards Research, Simon Fraser University. “Although none has been fatal, a few have caused property damage. Property owners are exposed to a not welldocumented risk from landslides and debris flows from the valley walls; these steep slopes are developed in glacial sediments. There is also the possibility that a landslide in these sediments

could block or impede the flow of Chilliwack River, with downstream consequences.” Many slides are triggered by excessive rains that saturate and destabilize the ground but earthquakes, volcanoes, and extremes of alternate freezing and thawing are also triggers. In the Fraser Valley, as in western Washington, we’ve had an excessive amount of rain this month. As at March 25, Chilliwack had received 247 mm, well in excess of the March average of 176.l mm. “Because the degree of risk (in the Chilliwack valley) is illdefined, and in light of the landslide at Oso, Washington, it is my opinion that the Fraser Valley Regional District should commission a geotechnical study to evaluate the hazard,” said Clague.

You can’t have it both ways I have to admit I howled with laughter when I read “Make freedom of choice mandatory” (Chilliwack Progress letters, March 26). Talk about an oxymoron: this ranks right up there with “Political Ethics.” Mr. Raddysh posts that he is fed up with government surveillance, yet continues to use the very

instruments he rails against. He wants the right to refuse vaccinations, but I bet if he or his family came down with a (preventable) communicable disease he would be first in line at his government supported doctor’s clinic or hospital. Don’t want to be identified? Quit using Wi-Fi or playing games on

your Xbox. Don’t think teachers should be finger printed? Really? Rather have your child targeted by a sexual predator? Either learn to live in this world or become a hermit and do without but don’t be a hypocrite and demand both worlds. Jim Haslett

Flawed logic on immunizations Re: “Make freedom of choice mandatory” (Chilliwack Progress letters, March 26). Your logic is flawed. Choosing to vaccinate yourself or your child doesn’t solely affect you. Some people cannot be

vaccinated (immunocompromised, allergic, etc.) and they depend on the rest of the population being vaccinated to protect them. By your logic, drunk driving is completely OK because you’re fine

with risking “your” life. Personally, I’m more concerned with the innocent people a drunk driver puts at risk. I mostly agree with the rest of your letter, but you greatly diverged from the actual topic at

hand. Your personal freedom is not more important than the lives of other people that your choice could affect. Alex Giles

IPL Question: I have noticed that my skin is looking dull and I have some sun spots that have appeared. What can I do? Answer: Over the years sun damage causes us to have broken capillaries and sun spots which can make us look 10 years older. We have various ways to improve skin texture and tone. We can start by using a combination of physician grade treatment products which include Vitamin A, hydroquinone and sunblock as well as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). Usually 3 - 5 treatments are necessary. If you are interested in a more aggressive treatment we can combine physician grade products, IPL and Fraxel laser – the combination will enhance each others results. You will need to continue protecting yourself from the sun and use sunblocks, hats and sunglasses to maintain the results. Dr. Marianna Snyman

Vaccinations save the lives of children In response to Kimberly Hayek’s letter, “Measles warnings just scare tactics” (Progress, March 21), I believe that immunization should be mandatory. Ms. Hayek states that “immunization does not prevent diseases,” but research shows that immunization does help prevent diseases. According to the Public Health Agency of Canada’s A Parent’s Guide to Immunization (2009), “Immunization has saved the lives of more babies and children than any other medical intervention in the past 50 years,” but this is achieved with regular booster shots. Immunization on its own does not prevent diseases. However, immunization is a way to help strengthen the immune system against an attack.

Just because there is a resurgence of a virus does not mean that it was once eradicated. This simply means that either the new generation has not received vaccinations or the initial virus has mutated. I believe that it is a combination of the two. Viruses mutate and we need to revisit the chemical makeup of vaccinations. No matter if the vaccinations are up to date for the new virus strain if people do not get vaccinated, there will be outbreaks. This population includes visitors from abroad. I believe that the bullying and scare tactics that Ms., Hayek refers to in her letter is simply the research information that is released to the public. I have never felt bullied by drug companies, provincial regulations, or health

authorities. If someone disagrees with the research that is published they needn’t go far from the Internet to find additional research on the topic. Chemicals used in vaccines have changed over the years. Newer vaccines contain only a part of the virus or bacteria gene and no longer contain mercury as a preservative. This exposure is used to stimulate the immune system to attack the invading virus or bacteria. Many vaccines are based in egg proteins which people consume every day. In sum, vaccines have provided us with an additional way to help preserve and protect life and our health. There is a lot of information about vaccinations for those who look for it.

Argument for mandatory immunization fails to convince I have read Graham Dowden’s letter “making immunization mandatory,” and I do not agree with his opinion and the way he argued in. Of course, he has the right to disagree Rev. Adriaan Geuze’s view; actually I don’t agree with Rev. Adriaan Geuze either. However, he used

“boneheaded” to directly describe Rev. Geuze’s notion, which was very disrespectful. He cannot say that Rev. Adriaan Geuze “blithely” puts risk on children just because he doesn’t agree with him. These are very biased and inappropriate, and can be ad hominem. In

addition, I do not think because other Canadian provinces make immunization mandator y, then so should British Columbia. He didn’t give any reasons. This is a hasty conclusion. The immunization doesn’t always work, and whether there should be a law to make immuni-

zation mandatory needs more discussion in government and citizen. Therefore, I don’t agree with that British Columbia has not followed other Canadian provinces to make immunization mandatory is not right. Tian Sheng

Candidates for municipal and school board elections will have to register with Elections BC and report donations of $50 or more when they run in province-wide elections this November. Legislation tabled by the B.C. government Wednesday will extend the term of office to four years as well as tightening rules for campaign financing and advertising. Third-party advertisers will also have to register before promoting candidates, and financial disclosures will have to be filed with Elections BC within 90 days of the vote. Community, Sport and Cultural Development Minister Coralee Oakes said the new rules have been

developed in consultation with the Union of B.C. Municipalities, and that discussion determined that an outright ban on anonymous donations is too strict. The disclosure rule will also apply to thirdparty advertisers, who will have to report sources of donations more than $50 and identify themselves in advertising. Campaign spending limits won’t be imposed until after the elections scheduled for Nov. 15, 2014. Oakes said that measure is complex because the variety of local governments in B.C. is the widest in Canada, including large and small communities, regional districts, school boards, park boards and the Islands Trust that governs the Gulf Islands. The legislation also moves the date of local elections from

November to October, but that won’t take effect until 2018. UBCM president Rhona Martin, a director of the Columbia Shuswap Regional District, said the move to four-year terms is not a “perfect solution,” but it was supported by a majority of delegates at last year’s convention. In previous votes, some small community representatives said even threeyear terms may be too long for a time-consuming commitment with little pay. The change in reporting rules creates a large task of compliance and enforcement for Elections BC. Oakes said the Elections BC will present its proposed costs to the legislature committee that determines budgets for all independent officers, including the Auditor General.

Speaker repays husband’s South Africa airfare Tom Fletcher Black Press

Legislature Speaker Linda Reid has paid back the $5,528 cost of her husband’s flight to a Commonwealth Parliamentary Association con-

www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309

ference in South Africa. Reid said Tuesday there is a long-standing practice of spouses accompanying B.C. officials on such trips, but the B.C. legislature’s internal financial standards are evolving in light of public expectations. “I traveled in my capacity as speaker,” Reid told reporters Tuesday after being questioned about the trip. “I attended the Commonwealth Parlia-

mentary Association conference. It is important work on behalf of democracy.” Reid and her husband flew business class to Johannesburg in August. NDP MLA Raj Chouhan, the assistant deputy speaker, was also on the trip with his wife. NDP caucus chair Shane Simpson said the Chouhans flew economy and stayed at a budget hotel in Johannesburg,

so their combined cost to taxpayers was about $6,000. Chouhan offered to pay for his wife but was told by Reid spouses were invited on such trips, Simpson said. When MLAs began reporting their expenses in 2012, Skeena MLA Robin Austin briefly rose to the top of the list thanks to a $19,000 trip to a Commonwealth Parliamentary Association conference in Sri Lanka.

How to Maintain Healthy Bones

LOVE SHOP

Nazlin Khamis Consultant Pharmacist

Bone is a dynamic tissue and our bones are in a constant state of regeneration. Bone is primarily made up of collagen, calcium, phosphates, various proteins and minerals like magnesium. Osteoporosis, meaning “porous bone” arises when bone is broken down faster than it is rebuilt. Over time, a gradual decrease in bone mass causes bones to become porous, brittle and fragile, increasing the risk of fractures. Bones of the hip, spine, wrist and ribs are the most common fracture sites. Osteoporosis affects over 3 million people in Canada and 80% of these are women. Twice as many women will be diagnosed with osteoporosis than men. Falls and hip fractures result in death in up to 20% of the cases. Ostoeporosis can set in at any age and there are many risk factors - family history, ethnicity, low stomach acid, thyroid disease, hormone health, high stress lifestyle, small-bone structure, early menopause, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, poor diet, high caffeine and high sugar diets. We have been lead to believe that calcium loss is the primary cause of osteoporosis, but that is not the entire picture. Hormones such as estrogen, progesterone, calcitonin, and cortisol, all influence bone health. Low thyroid function can also cause bone loss. Strontium and Boron and other bone booster that contain vitamin K2 and MK7 are important in formation of new bone. Long term use of drugs such as Fosamax and Actonel, commonly prescribed for osteoporosis can have many side-effects.

They’re volunteerbased contests, so students must find their own time to review past tests and work on different problems. The Chois and Rehmtulla estimate they studied for about a month in preparation – on top of homework responsibilities, track and field, tennis, and drumline. “There’s always time for priorities,” said Sean.

Rundle’s shop in need of a makeover A.D. Rundle middle school is hoping the construction industry will help it replaced old, broken equipment in its shop classes Katie Bartel The Progress

Cory Britton doesn’t feel comfortable complaining about the shop at his school. The shop teacher at A.D. Rundle middle school is quick to praise the parents and school community for all they’ve done in supporting the workspace. But still, even to the untrained eye. there are glaring deficiencies. The equipment is old. Some of it doesn’t work. And the stuff that has been replaced has been done on the cheap to stretch the dollars as far as they can go. Built in 1967, most of the technology equipment in the school’s metalwork and woodwork shops is original. “Due to their age, it’s very hard to find parts to replace and repair these machines,” said Britton, who’s had to build parts or alter the machines in order to make them operable. “We have been trying to replace some of the wornout equipment, but find it difficult to purchase larger ticket items of good quality.” Britton hopes Project Shop Class will change that. Project Shop Class is a first time fundraising initiative of the Construction Foundation of BC, an organization aimed at encouraging students to pursue careers in skilled trades. By rebuilding and retrofitting school shop classes with state-of-the-art equipment, the foundation believes it will increase awareness around trades and produce skilled workers for the future. Britton agrees. Currently A.D. Rundle’s shops are declining in enrollment. The school cannot offer the same specialized programs that other middle schools can, like robotics and

A.D. Rundle middle school was one of several schools selected by the Construction Foundation of BC to participate in Project Shop Class, a first-time fundraiser that helps schools raise funds to improve their shops through donations by those in the construction industry. According to shop teacher Cory Britton, A.D. Rundle’s shop has long surpassed its best before date. Several pieces of equipment are broken, Band-aided together, and most date back to when the school was built in 1967. JENNA HAUCK/PROGRESS

computer programming, because it doesn’t have the means to purchase the equipment required for those courses. Students are frustrated with long lineups due to broken and less-efficient technologies. And an aboriginal woodworking course that the school believes could benefit a significant portion of its population remains on the back burner until necessary funding for tools required can be obtained. Of the school’s 260 students, a third are aboriginal.

r owboa

Aboriginal woodworking would focus on cultural techniques, like carving and basket weaving, and would incorporate local resources, as well as have elders and aboriginal artists working with students. “The more students we can get into the shop courses, the more we are able to reach those students who struggle academically,” said Britton. The way Project Shop Class works is schools submit their wish list and construction-minded businesses and individuals donate.

Question of the week:

Driveway readers to spend billions to buy a new set of wheels Driveway readers are in the mood to splash out an astonishing $3.6 billion-plus of their hard-earned cash to buy new vehicles this year. This is not some by Keith Morgan wild, optimistic prediction but a solid forecast based on what our readers revealed in a comprehensive survey conducted on behalf of Black Press by Pulse Research, a company with 30 years of experience in asking the right questions of consumers. In a series of wide-ranging interviews, Black Press newspaper readers from all over the province gave Pulse a comprehensive account of their spending plans. Their intention to spend $53.1 million on fish and chips, $45.8 million on tooth whitening, $13.1 million on tattoos or piercing, $9.1 million on pet toys and $1.9 million on tuxedos, raised some smiles. But the auto spending intent grabbed our serious attention. A massive 123,275 households will take vehicles for a spin and sign on the dotted line. A massive 51,895 will park a new car on their driveway, 32,312 will house a sport ute in their garage, while another 28,395 will opt for a truck out front.

torque. The interior reflects that of thoughtful craftsmanship and design. Soft touch materials are used throughout and the layout is easy on the eyes. Not to mention the abundance of cubbyholes in which to place personal items. On a side note, the interior colour combinations drew inspiration from various American cities. For example, the all black interior pays homage to New York City, the Linen and Black is Sausalito, California and the Blue and Black on the S model to Detroit. The centre stack can be adorned with either a 5-inch touch screen or the optional 8.4-inch. To me, the 5-inch screen seemed a little small, so I’d invest in the larger version. That said, it was still highly functional and easy to use. On the road, the 2.4L Limited shines brightest when on the highway and on long stretches of pavement. It has ability in the twists and turns, but to really get a dynamic feel, you’d need to opt for the S or C trim to put it in the Sport mode. In that case, you get a different suspension setup and steering feel to really allow you to have more fun in the captain’s chair. Back to the 2.4L though. In the city, I felt I didn’t need much more power. Steering feel is light and allows to car the move with ease at slow speeds and gingerly into parking spots. Overall, a pleasant drive. The second half of my day was consumed with the V6. Yum. The award winning 3.6L, Pentastar V6 packs 295 horsepower underneath its sparkling new hood. For a driver’s car, this is the one I’d pick. What’s more, you can configure this engine on all trims except the base LX. Additionally, you can opt for an all-wheel drive setup too. However, the AWD system

needs to be paired with the V6. Getting into the sport mode, or fun mode as I call it, requires pushing down and turning the central dial/gear selector to the right. Make sure you push it down, otherwise it won’t go anywhere. And less fun will be had. When accelerating, there’s a little bit of a throaty gurgle that comes standard out of the twin exhaust pipes around back. It’s a nice sound and one that I enjoyed hearing over and over again. One thing I did notice is that the A pillar did have width to it, so visibility is a little trickier out the front. And with its sloping roofline, visibility out the rear could have been better. Thank goodness for the rearview camera. Along with its new bodywork and insides, there are over 60 standard and available safety features to keep both you and the 200 looking good and in one piece. The 2015 Chrysler 200 will be available in the second quarter of 2014. Visit www.chrysler.ca for more info Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

the home of the Louisville slugger. Nevertheless, here are the meat and potatoes for the all-new vehicle. There are four trims of 200 available. First is the LX and that has a starting MSRP of $22,995. Then there’s the Limited, the S and the top-ofthe-line C model. Regardless of trim, each comes with an industry first, also known as a 9-speed automatic transmission. My day started behind the wheel of the Limited trim with the 2.4L, 4-cylinder MultiAir engine (MSRP $24,995). This powerplant produces 184 horsepower and 173 lb-ft of

LOUISVILLE, KY. - The 200 is not a new nameplate for Chrysler but the 2015 model is all-new from the ground up. This generation of 200 debuts the new “face of Chrysler” with its signature grille and logo. There’s also a standard set of rear LED tail lamps, and the interior craftsmanship is more impressive than before. This mid-size sedan is hoping to play ball – and win – against competitors like the Ford Fusion, Honda Accord, Mazda6 and Toyota Camry, in an ever-aggressive segment. Using the baseball analogy with the 200 seemed apropos since the drive event took place in Louisville, Kentucky,

Misty-eyed memories of my first truck

‘‘

It was worth every penny of the $12,000 I put into it.

Ian Harwood

’’

I can remember buying my first truck in 1986 like it was yesterday. It had to be a specific make and model I was looking for: A Toyota 4x4 pick-up, black in color and it had to be in good shape. I wanted it to be bone stock with as little mileage as possible. I found one in the paper that was on the lot at a dealership in Surrey. Quickly

TEST DRIVE You know your car and you know how it should sound and drive like. Now your gut instincts tell you something is different. It’s not the same. A test drive with the shop technicians who will be working on your vehicle can go a long way in diagnosing the problem and saving you money. You can point out your concerns about the car and if he/she is a good listener, also about your spouse, kids, dogs, and the Joneses. It will make you feel better in more than one way and it gives your technician a great start in finding the problem. If we can help in any way, or you just need to talk, call us, stop by our shop, or send us an email.

I called them to inquire and they said they had a couple of people with deals written up, but it didn’t look like they were going to go through, so if I wanted it I had better get down there right away (naive at that age to fall for and old trick like this). I had to get a ride from a friend and I remember it was snowing so it was slow getting there. When I arrived it was running and they were anxious for me to drive it. I took it around the block and parked it in a vacant lot, hopped out and started to inspect it. I immediately noticed rust and some body damage. Clearing the snow off inside the truck box, I could see more damage. It looked like someone had dropped a bowling ball into it from about a high ledge. I could smell antifreeze and noticed some oil leaks. I headed back to the dealership disappointed. The salesman was there to greet me. He asked if I had any concerns and I started to point

out the obvious. He quickly dismissed them as cosmetic and said do you want to write a deal on it because he has people in the showroom wanting to buy it. I told him I was not interested. On the ride home, I thought how quickly I had to grow up and look at everything as if someone was going to take advantage of me, sad reality. The next day I picked up the latest copy of Truck Trader and spotted the exact make and model I was looking for. I bought the 1983 edition for $9,000 from a family that only used it once a week to drive to Abbotsford and back to Coquitlam for supplies. It was perfect; funny how God puts things in your path and everything works out in the end. A week later I started to work on it. I acquired some used 33-inch tires and installed a four-inch lift kit. I drove that truck every night after work to show it off. I washed it so many times I thought the paint was going to come off. A year had past and I purchased many more items for the truck. A major car show was coming up soon and I decided I would put it in the back of the shop and work on it so I could

enter it into the show. Giving up my truck for a month was tough and I had to make a few sacrifices to get around. My first car show was a hit. I came in second place and I was determined the following year I would be back with something they have never seen before. I poured most of my paychecks into my truck and took it off the road for two months to prepare for its transformation. I called up the owner of Interco Tire and asked about some Supper Swamper tires. He said he had a set of 44x18.5x15 tires in his office that nobody has seen before. At that time the largest they made were 42”. I told him to send them to me I would figure out what I had to do to fit them under the truck. When they came in they looked big. So big I was getting worried. The custom leaf springs came back from the spring shop and I knew my calculations were correct. With all the multiple shocks in place, chassis freshly painted, motor work done, a lower gears installed it was ready for the tires. I cleared away the debris pile that accumulated around my truck. Placed the floor jack under

Ian Harwood’s first truck. the rear axle and started to jack it up. With the rear tires on and clearing the fenders it was time to move to the front. When I started to lift the front I noticed how high the hood was getting, at that point I knew I had built a monster. With all the tires in place I slowly drove it out of the shop. The sun gleaming down on the freshly polished paint and the smell of paint burning off the exhaust system still sticks in my

mind. Outside it looked like a beast; people were slowing down to take a look. The show was a week later and I came home with first place. Mission accomplished. It was worth every penny of the $12,000 I put into it. Then I sold it for $15,500 in 1990 so that I could afford to get married . . . need I say any more?

Audi is the fastest growing luxury brand in Canada likely due to excellent styling, impressive interior design and advanced engineering. Audi seems to be hitting the sweet spot in terms of appeal and design that is the envy of many other luxury brands. The Q5 has been a cornerstone of the Audi brand helping couples and families get into an Audi product but retain the functionality that is needed to move people and cargo around in style. Compact SUVs are growing so quickly in popularity that they might overtake compact cars in sales. The Q5 is sold with a turbocharged 4-cylinder, a turbocharged V6 diesel or two supercharged V6 gasoline models that will rip the tarmac off the road. The SQ5 is the top of the line Q5; it comes with just a few options and makes an already excellent product oh so much fun. Looks: When I picked up my test SQ5, something looked different. I quickly realized that the 20-inch wheels had been replaced by 19-inch wheels, fitted with winter tires. The stance of the SQ5 looks so much better with 20-inch wheels or the optional 21-inch wheels for just $1,000 more. The SQ5 has a slightly lower ride than the other Q5 models and comes with splash of grey trim inside the front air intakes, side mirrors, rear air diffuser, plus subtle badging. It could be argued that the SQ5 is a little too subtle for the $57,000 starting price. Inside: Audi has been referenced as the high point in interior design. I would agree that the latest products have some wonderful materials and design but this SQ5 is starting to show its age a bit. The screen in the dash is on the small side compared to huge screens from BMWs X3 and domestic brands like the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The

Fiesta put the bounce back in Ford

‘‘

Good looking and fun to drive, Ford Fiesta is a miserly fuel user and small car with a lot to offer.

Bob McHugh

’’

Ford bounced back into the Canadian small car market in a big way with the return of Fiesta for the 2011 model year. Sleek, modern styling lines, peppy performance, great fuel economy and an attractive price made the new Fiesta was a hit straight out of the gate. Ford claimed it set new industry benchmarks in small car safety and in-car media

connectivity. Although it has strong European roots, the North American version of Fiesta is made in Mexico. It comes in a five-door hatchback body style plus a four-door sedan, which was not sold in Europe. The 2011 Fiesta also came in S, SE, SEL and SES trim levels. Power comes from a Ti-VCT 1.6-litre 4-cylinder engine with twin variable camshaft timing that can provide up to 120 horsepower and peek torque is 112 ft-lb at 5000 rpm. Fuel consumption is rated at 6.9 L/100 km in the city and 5.1 L/100 km on the highway (which is about 56 mpg) with the optional automatic. Some extra (passing) power would be nice at higher speeds, but there’s no problem getting a Fiesta up to a freeway cruising speed. It’s surprisingly quick off its mark from a standing start and the mid-range power available is also impressive, for a small engine.

The standard transmission is a 5-speed manual but the optional PowerShift six-speed automatic was a completely new (directshift) high-efficiency unit. Fundamentally, it is two manual transmissions inside one gearbox with shifts that are electronically activated using a dual-clutch feature, similar to the Audi/VW DSG transmission. Inside, the centre dash layout (audio etc.) was cell phone inspired, with an eye to attracting younger buyers. SES and SEL trim levels also come with steering wheel-mounted audio controls, a multi-function info screen and a unique ambient lighting system allows drivers to choose between seven interior accent lighting colors. Rear legroom is limited, like most in this class, and the seat is a 60/40 split-fold design. Nothing clever here, the seatbacks simply flop forward on top of the seat

Confessions of a Curber It’s only been a month, but I can see myself selling cars for a long, long time. I feel like a new man. One evening, I was in line at the superstore. An elderly gentleman saw my shopping cart. I had a new digital tire gauge that I was going to give to my next buyer. Turns out he was looking for a used car as he’d recently given his car to his grandson. He just needed something basic. “This is your lucky day!” I told him. The old fellow was around my father-in-law’s age – close to 80. He walked with a cane and had two ear pieces. I was practically shouting to him. What an easy sale. I decided to give him a ride and show him the car. He went on to tell me about his young granddaughter, too. At any rate, we got to the car – it was a base model with an automatic transmission. “It’s perfect for you, sir!” I exclaimed. He got in and sat at the wheel. His face lit up right away. I could tell that he’d been a car enthusiast in his younger days. “Where’d you get this car, son?” he asked me. “It’s my dad’s old car – he passed away and I

“Somewhere along the line, the rebuilt status was dropped.”

just can’t keep it anymore,” I lied. In reality, I imported the car from Washington. It came with documents that mentioned New York State. The title was clean, so I assumed it was in good condition. I priced the vehicle quite high – well over its value. But he didn’t know, and he didn’t ask any more questions. I told him I had another buyer interested (another lie), and that he had to make a decision right away. With no hesitation, he got a bank draft and I gave him the keys. Like I promised, I threw in the new tire gauge. Marty gave me a wink and slowly drove off. Another foolish customer, I thought. No history report to keep me on my toes. And worse, he needs to get it inspected, registered and insured within 30 days - I didn’t bother. I just got my buddy in Bellingham to help me get it across. That evening, I took out the papers I’d received with the car. I decided to go over them more thoroughly. I guess I was a bit bored. Turns out, the vehicle had been registered in four U.S. states. Somewhere along the line, the rebuild* status was dropped. Probably intentionally. The inspection and ICBC will catch that. And who knows if the odometer is right? At least it’s no longer mine. *Rebuild – A vehicle written off as a total loss by an insurance company, then rebuilt and certified for use. This term does not describe a vehicle that has a new or repaired motor, transmission or other major part. Rebuilds offer savings when repaired well, but a buyer has a right to know it was rebuilt. But this buyer didn’t and Walt walked away with the cash.

cushion and allow more cargo space, it’s more a more useful feature in the hatchback. Fiesta comes with seven standard airbags, one more than the norm. The extra driver’s knee airbag helps prevent leg injuries and better positions the driver to survive a serious frontal impact. It’s also constructed to comply with European pedestrian (impact) safety requirements. Electronic stability control and anti-lock brakes came standard on all trim levels, which is unusual in an ultra cost-conscious market segment. A tilt and telescopic steering wheel is another unexpected standard on all versions of Fiesta. The electricassist steering system has progressively firmer feel as vehicle speed increases. It also incorporates ‘pull-drift compensation’ feature to help the Fiesta track straighter in strong side winds and another feature,

called ‘active nibble control,’ dampens wheel/road vibrations at the steering wheel. While changes for 2012 were minor, they did include an integrated driver’s seat armrest on SE, SEL and SES trim levels. Remote start and keypad entry also became new options on SE, SEL and SES. The top SEL and SES trim levels were replaced with a new Titanium trim package for 2013. Both sedan and hatchback versions of Fiesta got “Top Safety Pick” ratings based of crash test results done by the IIHS (Insurance Institute for Highway Safety). On the down side, Consumer Reports rated Fiesta “below average” for reliability. The most troublesome areas appear to be power and audio equipment and the transmission (some software glitches/automatic). Good looking and fun to drive, Ford Fiesta is a miserly fuel user and small

SQ5 offers ‘best of both worlds’ continued from page 27

model is a nice balance of fuel economy and driving pleasure. The SQ5 comes with a supercharged 3.0L V6 with a heart stopping 347hp. The base car will take a run to 100km/h in 7.1 seconds, the SQ5 in just 5.3 seconds, almost a full 2 seconds quicker. What is the most impressive part of the SQ5 is just how good it is to drive in any situation, thanks to the standard Audi Drive Select system. Being able to change the sensitivity of the steering, throttle response, transmission changes and even the sound of the engine, makes this SQ5 a pleasure in stop and go driving or full throttle passing on the highway. I found the comfort setting to be best in the city and the dynamic setting for

The SQ5 is fitted with superb seats that are bolstered perfectly and covered in ultra-soft leather. The seating position is first rate as is outward visibility, cargo space and rear seat room. open road cruising. The ride is firm and very responsive without being too choppy and combined with the potent engine can be placed into corners and is sucked to the pavement thanks to a sophisticated Quattro AWD system. Verdict: The Q5 is a solid

choice for anyone looking for a premium compact SUV. The base 4-cylinder model starts at $40,900 and is the best seller. This SQ5 is the powerhouse version and does everything so well, point it where you want to go and it will get the driver there with a

smile on their face. What might be the best of both worlds in the 3.0L turbocharged diesel Q5 with 428 lb.-ft. of thunderous torque that makes it very quick, but also more fuel-efficient, or the detuned 3.0L supercharged V6 with 272hp. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

minted Science Media Centre of Canada, a non-profit charitable organization with a variety of services geared to ensure Canadians receive better information and reporting. To help journalists tell scientific stories accurately, the SMC finds experts to talk on a one-on-one basis in addition to providing weekly e-mail alerts that highlight Canadian stories and offering regular webinars. Funding comes from universities, research institutions, governments, granting councils and other avenues, though no more than 10 per cent can be provided by any one organization to ensure the SMC continues to operate — and continues to be perceived as operating — as an unbiased organization. “Being able to communicate effectively and tell stories to help people understand difficult matters is essential,” Park says. “This is important and I’m proud to be a part of it.”

Through her career experience, Park recognized the importance of providing accurate information to the media across the wide spectrum of categories touched by science. “Today it’s a 24/7 news cycle,” Park says. “There’s less time to report on increasingly complex stories, many of which have science at their core – and yet most journalists come from a political science or arts background with little knowledge of science and how science is done.” So in 2010 she changed careers again, becoming executive director of the newly

# 1 SELLING TRACTOR IN THE WORLD!

Early spring colour in the garden BUY RED. One of the best kept secrets for lasting early colour is the amazing family of evergreen euphorbias. Hardy to zone 4 and 5, they are a perfect year round addition to our gardens. They will tolerate full sun but prefer partial shade and are Brian quite comfortMINTER able even under trees. Many varieties are quite drought tolerant, making them ideal candidates for our now typically hot, dry summers. As we move closer to spring, each evergreen stem bows its head and lifts its back up with the most amazing display. What we perceive to be flowers are actually coloured bracts with tiny inconspicuous flowers inside. From soft yellow to hot lime and golden bronze/ green, the range and size of these bracts is quite remarkable.

They last for weeks, even months, to create a brilliant display in our early spring gardens. Because of their diverse size and form, evergreen euphorbias are ideally suited for use as ground covers and feature plants and are spectacular in containers and borders. In containers I love to combine euphorbias with other attractive foliage plants like evergreen grasses, heucheras, bergenias, dwarf conifers, broadleaved plants and winter flowering heather. Today, it’s all about foliage, and the colour blends we can create with euphorbias and their companions is quite amazing. These plants can stay in containers year round with only a little tweaking to make them more in tune with the current season. The most spectacular bracts are found on the older variety E. characias wulfenii. Its blue foliage, topped with large chartreuse bracts that last for months, is truly stunning. It will grow up to four feet tall and four feet wide. It’s

variegated cousin, E. c. ‘Tasmanian Tiger’, has created quite a stir in the plant world with its white and green foliage and bracts. It’s a ‘wow’ plant that lights up any garden. A new introduction, called ‘Glacier’, with its blue, green and white foliage is more subtle and yet very beautiful and makes a delightful accent plant. Another variegated euphorbia that has captured quite a bit of attention is ‘Helena’. It’s a very soft green, edged with white, that brings out some nice pink shades in the cooler weather of winter and early spring. It has vibrant chartreuse flowers. Dark foliaged plants have become popular year round as accents, and the old fashioned E. amygdaloides ‘Purpurea’ turns the

most spectacular deep burgundy in winter and still holds this colour as the chartreuse blooms open up for a brilliant contrast. The most recent introduction, E. ‘Bluebird’, not only has deep burgundy foliage in winter, but it also holds its colour well into summer. There are more euphorbias available today than ever before, and each has its own unique characteristics and charm. Euphorbia robbiae, for example, performs wonderfully in heavy shade, producing great colour all year in spots where it’s hard to grow many plants. This is the time of year to visit garden centers to look at all the many different varieties and see how they can add so much evergreen beauty to your garden and containers.

It gets downloaded, swapped, composed, played, listened to, forms the background to video games, movies, and television shows, and is at the Eryn center WICKER of many social interactions and popular culture movements. Listening to and talking about your child or teens’ music is a great way to ensure that your voice is one of the loudest ones they hear because almost nothing comes between kids and their music. Know what your children are listening to, listen along with them, and learn the lyrics. After all, music is expression... and we want our kids expressing themselves authentically and honestly. Studies have shown that children and adolescents are affected by the music they listen to, and while chances are good that you can’t choose what your kids listen to, you can counterbalance the messages they hear and help them develop criticalthinking skills.

some positive, popular adult music – from a range of genres – and then take turns as you move to partial control of the playlist. My son currently does an awesome slam dance head bang to Bastille and Mumford & Sons. And it doesn’t have to stop at songs, as music videos and the lives of celebrity musicians can be up for discussion as well. What does lyrical literacy look like in practice? I came across an article that suggested the following: Tips for parents of elementary school kids: • Be a model for tame music: Your child will sing along with whatever you select, so make sure you choose songs with lyrics you won’t mind your child repeating if you aren’t around. •Take note of what they’re downloading and ask them to play their favourite songs for you. • Enjoy music together. Tips for parents of middle and high school kids: • Do your homework before your kids buy CDs or downloaded music. • Make some downloading rules and discourage stealing music. • Enjoy music together: Ask your son to plug in his iPod on the next family road trip, or have your daughter burn you a CD of her music for your car. Not only will you get a better idea of what they’re being exposed to, but you may also improve your relationship with them. When you show interest in their world, they might be more open to hearing your opinions. • Discuss music messages without being too judgmental, including teaching them to ask questions of the messages they’re hearing.

Spice up your exercise routine Do you find it difficult to find motivation to go to the gym? Are you bored of your current exercise routine? Are you no longer seeing results despite faithfully working up a sweat? If so, it is time to spice Tanja up your SHAW exercise routine. Changing your routine will help eliminate boredom and help to avoid the dreaded plateau. Make exercise fresh and exciting again with a few simple changes to your workout program. Routine spice up No. 1: Change the tempo. Instead of lifting all your weights at the moderate tempo of two seconds to lift and three seconds to release, change the speed of your lifts. For one workout, try lifting as fast as you can while still maintaining proper form. Slow down the tempo during your next workout. Try taking

five to 10 seconds to lift, hold for five to 10 seconds and take the same to release. You will be able to do more repetitions when lifting quickly and fewer reps when lifting slowly. Routine spice up No. 2: Add instability. Adding instability to a workout is a great way to alter your routine and improve your balance. For example, you can try standing on a wobble board or BOSU ball while doing biceps curls. If you usually use a bench to do a dumbbell pectoral fly, try using a stability ball instead. Doing an exercise with one leg or arm at a time can also add instability. For example, instead of doing a standing overhead shoulder press with two arms, use only one arm at a time. For an extra challenge, use only one arm while balancing on one leg. When decreasing the stability of exercises, make sure to stay safe. Choose variations that you are comfortable doing, or ask someone to spot you. You may also need to decrease the weight you are

If your routine is starting to feel a little stale, Tanja Shaw offers some tips to spice things up.

lifting while if you are making your exercises less stable Routine spice up No. 3: Vary the equipment. Gyms have a wide variety of equipment to use. Add spice to your routine by using different equipment to do a similar exercise. Instead of always using dumbbells to do biceps curls, use a tubing band. If you

usually do your chest press on a machine, try using a barbell and bench, or use cables. Try incorporating a medicine ball into your abdominal exercises, or move your floor crunches onto a stability ball. Varying your routine is crucial to keep motivated and to keep seeing results. With a little imagination or help from a qualified 95

fitness professional, you can modify your routine to reach your fitness goals. Tanja Shaw is a Kinesiologist and the owner of Ascend Fitness Inc., a private training studio.

Football pioneer blazing trail to CIS Bisons Eric J. Welsh, The Progress

Chilliwack native Jake Creasey will make history next year when he suits up for the Manitoba Bisons. Creasey, a soon-tobe graduate of the GW Graham football program, will become the first Grizzly to secure a spot with a CIS squad. “I didn’t really think about the whole pioneer thing until my dad said, ‘You know you’re the first one in GWG history,’” Creasey said. “It’s cool. It’s an honour. I’ll be known for that, which is pretty amazing.” CIS schools started paying attention to Creasey before last season, after he made the 56-man roster of Team BC U-18. He’d never seen a scout in his life until the third tryout at the Richmond Oval. Representatives from six schools were there, each making presentations. “That was the first moment where I realized I might be able to get a scholarship and go somewhere,” he recalled. “I was speechless. I heard about these people like (ex-

GWG basketball stars) Lucas Mannes and Chris Thompson getting scholarships, but until that day I never thought I could be in a group like that.” The Carleton Ravens and the UBC Thunderbirds were two of the schools expressing interest, but Carleton, based in Ottawa, was never a candidate in Creasey’s mind. UBC offered the close-to-home card, but at a price. “I’d like to be part of this area still, but they were also a lot more expensive, like a couple thousand dollars more,” Creasey explained. “Manitoba was less money and their football program has all brand-new facilities. I didn’t see how I couldn’t go there.” Creasey’s minor football coach, Mike Kelly, put in a good word for the Bisons, as did GWG teammate Brett Westad. His brother, Nick, went to Winnipeg last fall. Creasey played wideout for the Grizzlies last year as the school fielded a varsity (Grades 11-12) team for the first time. His team went 2-5 in the tough AA Eastern conference, but Creasey stood out. Not only was he the team’s most dynamic offensive player — he and Westad — but coach Laurie Smith saw him develop into a leader.

Jake Creasey honed his pass catching skills with the GW Graham Grizzlies varsity squad. He’s taking his talents to Winnipeg next fall, joining the CIS powerhouse Manitoba Bisons. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

“He took ownership of a very new and often out-matched varsity group and consistently led by example on the field, in the weight room, in team meetings and film etc,” Smith noted. “In the captain voting by the players Jake was a unanimous choice and that does not happen often.” Come the fall, Creasey will experience the transition from big fish/little pond to little

fish/big pond. He’ll be playing against men four or five years his senior, and worries a bit about the transition. But he also embraces it. “I love playing against older guys to get that extra little competition, and if I hadn’t gotten a scholarship I’d have probably chosen to play junior football,” he said. “I know it’ll be harder and I’ll have to get a lot

stronger, that’s for sure. But this experience will make me a better football player and a better person.” As he leaves the GWG football program, he hopes he’s leaving a legacy for the young pups to follow, one that starts with knowing the value of hard work. “I want them to realize it’s possible, and if I could do it then they can to,” Creasey said. “I only played three

years of football. Most of them will have five years on me by the time they graduate, and I hope they’re dedicated and grateful for the opportunity that they have.” Coach Smith said he’ll be following Creasey closely this fall, and hopes the teenager is the first of many Grizzlies moving on to higher levels. “We were very proud to have Jake lead the

first ever GW Graham varsity team, and he will always be our first captain,” Smith said. “I am very proud of Jake and the hard work he put in to find opportunities at the next level and wish him well at Manitoba. There is no question I’m a huge Bisons fan now.” Get GWG football info at grahamfootball. ca and CIS football info at english.cis-sic.ca/ sports/fball/index

Good Sport of the week!

Eighteen obstacles to overcome A new obstacle course race comes to the Fraser Valley in late August, with the inaugural Praetorian Race taking place around Abbotsford’s Exhibition Park. Named after the Praetorian Guard, bodyguards of Roman emperors in ancient times, the Aug. 23 race is designed to physically and mentally challenge competitors of all ages and abilities. Par ticipants will navigate through a six kilometre course peppered with 18 different obstacles. The course starts

at Exhibition Park and winds through Clearbrook Park, Downes Bowl Park and Gladwin Park. “If people enjoy climbing, crawling, jumping, lifting, carrying, getting a little muddy, having fun, smiling and challenging themselves, then this event is for them,” said Abbotsford native Jason Grafstrom, one of two organizers along with Chilliwack’s Paul Laviolette. “Although challenging, our race is literally intended for everyone from elite athletes to people with physical disabilities. If

they want to finish our race, we will make sure people are there to help them along the way.” Each par ticipant receives a T-shirt, custom designed participant medal, chip timing and access to the event celebration party. The cost to enter varies. Early bird registration is on now until April 23 at a cost of $50. From April 24 to May 20 the price is $55. From May 21 to June 20 the price is $60. From June 21 to July 20 the price is $65. From July 21 to Aug. 20 the price is $75.

Race-day registration is $80 with no timing chip included. Anyone running the competitive heat will be charged an additional $20 which will go into the prize money pool. The top three male and female finishers in the competitive heat win cash. The exact amount they win will be based on the amount of competitive heat entries. Grafstrom and Lavioltte are using this race as a fundraiser for two charities — Canuck Place Children’s Hospice and Wounded Warriors Canada.

It took a Daniel Davidson strike in the 80th minute to dispatch the Spartans, but UFV head coach Alan Errington was still pleased. “I thought the team competed very well under the circumstances,” he said. “The Keg Classic is a great tournament for us to play in and gives us a platform to build towards the season ahead.” Get info at ufvcascades.ca

The University of the Fraser Valley men’s soccer team returned to action last weekend in the Keg Spring Cup tournament. UFV finished third

tied the game three minutes later, rifling a free kick into the Victoria net. But Victoria scored twice within five minutes to take the game and advance to the final. They lost 3-0 to the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds in the gold medal match. UFV only had 16 players available for Sunday’s game against Trinity Western, and they looked tired.

Fisher fights for first Chilliwack native Kaleb Fisher shot an even par 72 to finish second overall in the amateur division at Monday’s Brad Garside Open. The opening tournament for the Vancouver Golf Tour’s spring/summer season was played at the Pagoda Ridge Golf Course in Langley. Representing the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club, Fisher went toe to toe with Pitt Meadows Golf Club entry Connor O’Dell. Fisher was steady through the front nine, carding pars on every hole except the eighth. He bogied that one, and the 15th, but balanced those with birdies on the 11th and 16th holes. Fisher and O’Dell ended up in a five-hole playoff, which O’Dell won to take the title. The victor ended up with 1500 Order or Merit points. Fisher got 1,200. The leaderboard was crowded near the top. Langley’s Jaewook Lee and Guilford’s Rob Arthur were both just one shot back through 18.

OBITUARIES

WHITING Susan

Doreen Marguerite (Susan) Whiting, nee Allen, late of Chilliwack, died peacefully on March 19 at the Bradley Centre, Chilliwack Hospital at the age of 94. Doreen Marguerite Allen was born Aug. 13, 1919, at St. Hellier, Jersey, C.I.. She enjoyed a happy childhood on the idyllic island of Jersey with her brother Graeme and her cousins Margaret and David Gale. She played the piano and was a scholarship student at The Jersey College for Girls. Her first job was as a cooking demonstrator for the Jersey Electric Company who were introducing the first “electric cookers” in 1938. In 1940 the Channel Islands were occupied by German forces. Days before their arrival, Doreen and her cousin Margaret left their parents and evacuated to England. In 1941 she married Pilot Officer Sidney (“Pebble”) Stone who had worked at Jersey Electric. They were married at St. Giles, Edinburgh. Pebble was stationed nearby at Leuchars, Scotland with Coastal Command. Six weeks after their marriage, while flying in fog off the Irish Coast, his plane crashed and he was killed. The young widow, Doreen Stone, joined the Women’s Royal Naval Service. She received her commission and rank of Third Officer in 1944. Much of her war service was spent in British Naval Mediterranean Headquarters in Algiers, Algeria, and Alexandria, Egypt. It was during this time in the navy that she acquired the nickname, “Susan”, which stayed with her thereafter. Through the war years she corresponded with a Canadian pilot, Gouin Whiting, who flew with the same R A F Coastal Command squadron as her late husband, and had met Susan at her wedding. In March, 1945, Third Officer D M Stone married Squadron Leader S G Whiting in Herefordshire, England. Within a year the war was over and they left the services. Gouin returned to Canada and to his home in the Fraser Valley at Whonnock and brought with him his now pregnant British bride. Susan embraced her new Canadian life. She and Gouin lived in Pender Harbour, North Vancouver, and 1950’s Vancouver. Two sons, Christopher and David, were born. Her mother, Doris Allen, arrived from Jersey and stayed. There was a move to Edmonton in 1956. Eight years later Susan and Gouin returned to Vancouver where they lived until retiring to their much-loved acreage on Chilliwack’s Hope River Road in 1970. Susan had the pioneer spirit. She enjoyed new surroundings and made friends wherever she went, whether neighbours in post-war subdivisions, the postman, the voice on CBC radio, or the stranger beside her on the bus. She enjoyed people and people enjoyed her. She never stopped talking. She cooked. She sang. She cared for the people she loved; which was just about everybody. Susan was the cement of the family that connected it to cousins all over the world. She remembered names, stories and birthdays. She was a great correspondent. Her letters were spontaneous, personal and almost illegible. She was an active church member, a community volunteer, and supporter of the arts. Susan was cheerful, generous, honest and loving. Susan was predeceased by her mother, Doris Allen, in 1988, and her beloved husband Gouin Whiting in 1989.

Roy, Joseph Gerard Ronald (aka Ron) July 30th, 1931 March 9th, 2014

It is with great sadness that our father, Ron Roy, passed away suddenly on March 9th, 2014 at the age of 82. Ron was born in Verdun, Quebec on July 30th, 1931 and has gone to be reunited with his wife of more than 50 years, pre-deceased Jessie May Roy (nee Noble). Ron was a proud member of the Canadian Air Force where he served as a forensic photographer between 1952 and 1977. Travelling was a great passion thereafter with Ron taking one last cruise in Australian waters in January 2013. Left to mourn his passing are his four children and their spouses Deborah and Daniel Sutton, Christopher and Mila Roy, Ellen Roy and partner John Long, and Cheryl Roy. He will also be sorely missed by his brother Robert (Bob) Roy as well as his grandchildren William Sutton, Joseph Sutton, Bradley Butcher, Brandon Heavens, Cassandra Roy, Jacinth Roy, Serenah Roy, and Joshua Roy. Funeral Services will be held at the Woodlawn Mt Cheam Funeral Home, 45865 Hocking Ave in Chilliwack Friday, April 4th at 3:00 pm with a reception to follow. Ron will be laid to rest in the Legion Memorial Gardens, a designated section which honours Canadian and Allied Veterans at the Vedder View Gardens Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Heart & Stroke Foundation or the Canadian Cancer Society will be gladly accepted at the service. Condolences for the family may be offered at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca.
