Blood clinic cancelled in Chilliwack due to measles

Q B LOSSOM T IME

Canadian Blood Services takes precautionary step

Jenna Hauck The Progress

One blood donor clinic in Chilliwack and another in Abbotsford have been cancelled this week due to the recent measles outbreak. “The clinics that we are choosing to not run is a precautionary practice to keep the blood and donors and recipients and staff safe,” said Dr. Mark Bigham, medical consultant with Canadian Blood Services B.C. Yukon branch. Measles is a highly contagious airborne virus that can be spread through very tiny droplets in respiration. It can also be transmitted through blood. CBS is concerned about the people who aren’t aware they are carrying the virus, since during the first few days of being infected there are no apparent symptoms. “Initially they may not know that they have the virus, but they are actually infectious,” said Bigham. Blood donors infected with the measles virus could unknowingly infect fellow donors at a clinic and also CBS staff/volunteers by being within close proximity to them. Additionally, each donor carrying the virus could infect up to three potential blood recipients since one unit of blood can be used for three different patients. “We discourage donors from the Chilliwack area, and in the outbreak zone, to donate blood right now,” he said. CBS collects about 80 to 100 units of blood at each Chilliwack clinic. The cancellations shouldn’t affect CBS’s blood supply to any significant degree. Because of the national blood supply, “we can move blood around across the country to accommodate those who need it,” Bigham said. Nonetheless, this should be an eyeopener for those who choose not to vaccinate, he added. Continued: WAKE UP/ p4

Victory declared in measles outbreak The measles outbreak in B.C. has been largely contained to the Chilliwack area, health officials declared Monday. Health minister Terry Lake credited the work done by Fraser Health, and specifically chief medical health officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder, for the success. “Dr. Van Buynder and Fraser Health have shown excellent guidance and management of this difficult situation,” said

Lake. “I applaud the professionalism and tireless efforts of the dedicated staff who have engaged in an open and respectful manner with the leaders, families and individuals in these affected communities.” Now into its fourth week, the outbreak has generated 320 cases so far, health officials said. But nearly all those cases have been limited to the original source community which

shuns vaccinations on religious grounds. The threat to communities outside the eastern Fraser Valley is considered low. Since the outbreak was declared on March 8, Fraser Health has worked with schools, community groups, church groups, public health nurses and medical officers to investigate the outbreak and implement control measures such as setting up dedicated

immunization clinics in public health and physician offices and urging people to get vaccinated. The measles outbreak is expected to continue for another two weeks as the second and third wave of the disease makes its way through the communities. Anyone who has symptoms or suspects they have contracted measles is encouraged to stay home until the symptoms are over.

Feds appeal medical marijuana injunction Jeff Nagel Black Press

The federal government will appeal a March 21 court injunction that lets authorized patients temporarily keep growing their own medical marijuana past April 1, when the old system was to be outlawed. The move by Health Canada keeps thousands of medical marijuana users off balance as to how long they can continue home growing under personal production licences. They had been under a federal directive to stop growing, destroy any unused pot and confirm in writ-

ing by April 30 they had done so or face potential police enforcement. Users behind a constitutional challenge of the new medical marijuana rules fear higher prices and lower quality pot under the new system of regulated commercial producers. It’s unclear how quickly an appeal of the injunction will be heard, but the broader case is expected to go to trial sometime this year. Health Minister Rona Ambrose said Monday she is working with organizations of health professionals to address their concerns about the lack of dosage guidelines and appropriate health cautions for

medical marijuana use. “They want clearer guidance on safety and effectiveness and want authorizations to be monitored,” Ambrose said. She said it’s expected new measures and direction on dosage, educational materials and increased oversight will cut the risk of patients being harmed by being over-prescribed medical pot. “I want to emphasize that marijuana is not an approved drug or medicine in Canada. Health Canada does not endorse the use of marijuana, but the courts have required reasonable access to a legal source of marijuana for medical purposes.”

Regulators will get data from licensed producers on how much pot each doctor prescribes to patients. Youth are especially susceptible to potential risks from marijuana use, according to Health Canada, which lists damage to mental function and mental health, including psychosis and schizophrenia. Sensible BC held an April 1 day of protest against the medical marijuana changes. Organizer Dana Larsen welcomed Ottawa’s move to provide more information on marijuana to doctors and nurses, but remained sharply critical of the planned shift

to commercial production. “Minister Ambrose still has not addressed the fact that the new regulations are going to price thousands of patients out of the market for their medicine.” Various municipalities opposed the outgoing system of letting users grow their own pot or have other designated growers do it for them, citing fire and other safety risks. The injunction doesn’t stop the launch of new commercial pot producers, but it may reduce the initial size of their market if many users don’t have to start buying from them.

Going to the wall for wheelchairs Debt Katie Bartel The Progress

What do Charles Dickens, Sherlock Holmes, Mahatma Gandhi, Michael J. Fox, and Chilliwack’s own darling Jean Scott have in common? Wheelchairs. Sort of. Walk into Dickens British Museum and a Wall of Wheelchairs is there to greet you. A wall featuring the aforementioned names and those of several more who gave mobility to those most in need – under the guise of Fred Hails. For two years the Dickens owner has been purchasing wheelchairs for the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation, a nonprofit organization that gives wheelchairs to those living with disabilities in third-world countries. Children who couldn’t go to school because they had no mobility. Adults living out their lives in a corner on their family’s floor because they had no mobility. Seniors forgotten, and essentially left to die, because they had no mobility. “Wheelchairs give them mobility, independence, freedom,” said Hails. “You hear the stories, the young lad, who had to be taken everywhere in a wheelbarrow, who had never been to school, but now, with a wheelchair, he can go to school. “I could give money somewhere else, but this is so heartwarming, and there is no end to the need.” It’s estimated more than 100 million people worldwide are in need of a wheelchair, but can’t afford one. In developing countries, roughly three per cent of the population is disabled from such hardships as war, disease, accidents, and

Fred Hails of Dickens British Museum has created a Wheelchair Foundation Wall. Over the past two years, he has purchased 170 wheelchairs through the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation for those in need. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

limited healthcare. In countries with ongoing conflict and civil war that number is as high as 20 per cent. And in most cases, immobility means no education, no employment, no societal integration. Hails, a longtime Rotarian, got the idea to start regularly donating to the foundation through Chilliwack Rotary, which already actively fundraises for the cause. Every year he aims to purchase a minimum of 100 wheelchairs. This year he’s purchased 47, with plans for 30 more over the next couple months. In total he’s purchased 170. One wheelchair costs $150. Rather than put his name on the donor form, he opts for the names of significant people in his life – British characters, real and fictional, musicians, inventors, politicians, the Royal family, heck, even Santa Claus and Snow White have made the list. “I’ve got to buy them anyway, so why not have a little fun with it,” said Hails, who has names popping in his head like kernels in a popcorn machine. “I’m always waking up in the middle of the night with another idea,” he laughed. For every donation made, a personalized certificate of appreciation with a photograph of a wheelchair recipient is provided. Those certificates are what cover the museum’s Wheelchair Foundation Wall. “One wheelchair at a time, we’re changing the world,” said Hails. Dickens British Museum is holding a monthly draw contest; each name selected be used for the next wheelchair donation. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

pooler loses licence

Former clients of a Chilliwack debt pooler are being asked to come forward after Consumer Protection BC pulled the company’s licence last week. Options Credit Services Canada Ltd. had its bank accounts frozen and its licence suspended by Consumer Protection BC in December of 2013. Last week the agency announced the licence was being cancelled, arguing the company had breached several sections of the Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act and the Debt Collection Industry Regulation. “This has been a complex investigation from the start, involving a number of consumers and a variety of financial transactions,” said Tayt Winnitoy, vice-president of operations at Consumer Protection BC. “We are very concerned about the financial impact that may be felt by consumers as a result of this company’s business practices. We will make every effort to help consumers receive whatever refunds are possible.” Consumers financially affected by the business practices of Options Credit Services or its owner Don Antle are asked to fill out the Consumer Protection BC “debt pooling claim form” online or contact the inquiry unit at info@ consumerprotectionbc.ca if they have further questions about the claim form. Under the law in BC, a debt pooler is a person who accepts and distributes consumer money to creditors in accordance with an agreed upon repayment program.

Auto thefts plunge in era of bait cars 70 per cent drop in Chilliwack since 2003

Car thefts in the Lower Mainland have fallen 78 per cent in the past decade and police are crediting the bait car program for much of that drop. The latest statistics show an eight per cent drop from 5,200 vehicles stolen in the region in 2012 to 4,700 last year. In contrast, more than 21,000 cars were stolen in 2003, a year before the first use in B.C. of vehicles implanted with cameras and technology to safely disable them as officers converge to catch thieves red-handed. ICBC road safety director John Dickinson said the pay-

off in reduced auto insurance claims has been dramatic. ICBC handled $98 million in stolen auto claims in 2003, when an average of 70 cars were stolen every day in B.C. By 2013 that had dropped to $27 million claims, or 17 stolen vehicles per day. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the number of vehicles not stolen last year – compared to 2003 – was equivalent to filling B.C.’s largest ferry with vehicles 40 times over. The single biggest 10-year decreases in car theft have been recorded in Coquitlam (down 88 per cent from 2003), White Rock (down 87 per cent) and Burnaby and New Westminster

“It’s a wake-up call for all of us to remember to get ourselves and children immunized, and to protect the community as well,” he said. Not being vaccinated “has consequences beyond your immediate child and yourself.” About five per cent of people are unable to get vaccinations, whether due to age or medical reasons. “With measles, it’s such a contagious and infectious virus that you need such a high level of vaccination — about 95 per cent — for there to be a herd immunity,” he says.

Bigham is also a medical health officer with Fraser Health, so he’s able to monitor the outbreak on a daily basis firsthand. CBS does not know yet if the next Chilliwack clinic, scheduled for April 14, will be cancelled. The agency has to wait for an incubation period of anywhere from 10 to 21 days, following the end of the measles outbreak, before they will bring the mobile blood donor clinic back to Chilliwack. “We want to keep this a measles-free zone,” said Bigham.

chop shops and in some cases simply stealing cars for the value of the metal. That’s a shift from past years where thieves were often out to joy ride or commit break-andenters using stolen vehicles. Police say the items most often stolen from vehicles are: smartphones; other personal electronics like tablets, laptops and GPS units; work tools; credit cards and identification; stereo equipment; cash and change; car parts and accessories; garage door openers; sunglasses; and keys. Thieves who snatch garage door openers from a vehicle and get the home address from the vehicle registration continues to be a concern.

It didn’t take Rick Standeven much convincing to get a prostate exam. His wife, Glenda, was right in 2006 when she pointed out a suspicious mole on Rick’s arm that turned out to be a malignant melanoma skin cancer. And she was right this time, too, when she figured there must be something wrong after noticing several times that Rick had problems urinating. In the fall of 2011 when Rick was 58, he went for an exam, had a blood work test, and had a needle biopsy done as well. The results were not good. It was prostate cancer. Glenda, a cancer survivor herself, had lost her father to prostate cancer in 1993. By the time her father decided to see a doctor, it was too late. The cancer had already metastasized and he was diagnosed with terminal prostate cancer on Feb. 14, 1992. Although Rick’s cancer had not metastasized, it was aggressive, so complete removal of the prostate was the only option. Both Rick and Glenda suggest that around the age of 50, men should start getting annual prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing done so that there’s a record

HORMONE HEALTH

A woman’s Guide to Safe, Natural, hormone Health by Nazlin Khamis The human body is brilliant and built to stay in harmony. All body systems help keep it on an even keel. Hormones play a major role in our health outcomes. Their ebb and flow influences all aspects of our physical, emotional and mental wellness. Hormones do their best when their levels are what we call “balanced”, the amount of hormone is not too low, not too high, but “just right”. When this “balance” is disturbed there can be problems with sleep, anxiety, weight gain, depression, mood swings, libido and well-being in general. This imbalance can happen any time, especially in women, from as early as puberty,through perimenopause, into menopause and beyond. When we think of hormones we mainly think of Estrogen, Progesterone, Testosterone and DHEA. But there is also the stress hormone Cortisol, produced by the adrenals, Thyroid hormones, produced by the Thyroid gland and Insulin which regulates blood sugars. When one or more of these hormones are out of balance, symptoms such as mood swings, irritability, depression, water

retention, headaches, hair loss, increased facial hair, thinning or drying of skin, heavy menstrual bleeding, hot flashes/night sweats, weight gain, fatigue/exhaustion, low body temperatures, aching joints and inflammation become aggravating. Many of these symptoms can often be alleviated when we achieve “optimal hormone balance”. Bio-Identical hormone therapy, is often the best way to replace these hormones, which are identical to the ones produced by our bodies, not the synthetic or chemically modified ones, that can have plenty of side effects. The most accurate method of testing actual available hormone in the body is Saliva testing. Men can be equally affected by fluctuating hormone levels, especially Testosterone, which can cause loss of libido, thinning hair, increased belly fat and loss of muscle mass. Diet and lifestyle play a very important role and there are many natural supplements that can support our hormones health. Reducing stress and improving thyroid function, and are all relevant and important in achieving hormone balance.

UFV opens new ag centre to mark 40th anniversary The University of the Fraser Valley will celebrate its 40th anniversary in Chilliwack this Friday with the official opening of the Agriculture Centre of Excellence at Canada Education Park. The event is one of several taking place at campuses in Abbotsford, Mission and Hope to mark the special occasion. Fraser Valley College was proclaimed into existence by pro-

vincial education minister Eileen Dailly on April 4, 1974. Since then it has grown from a “college without walls,” to a degreegranting university college, to a modern multi-campus university. The Fraser Valley community has supported UFV’s development in many ways over the four decades of its existence. To recognize the founding of Fraser Valley College in 1974, UFV is hosting several events in

PROSTATE from page 7 What Men Won’t Talk About… and Women Need to Know: A Woman’s Perspective on Prostate Cancer was released in March. It’s a humorous and informative book about Rick’s cancer story complete with technical information and resources on prostate cancer. “When something bad happens, you either make it defeat you, or you make it count. And we decided to make it count and help people,” says Glenda. “I said to her that if I’m going to go through this, we have to make this matter,” adds Rick. The book has a strong message in an easy-to-read format, and at 82 pages, it’s small.

“Men get intimidated by a big book,” says Rick. “They say it’s too much info.” Originally the book was much bigger, about three times as long. “Rick said to me, ‘Honey, if you publish all of this, we’re moving and I’m changing my name,’” laughs Glenda. After some editing, they ended up publishing a short book filled with something for both men and women. “It’s compact for men so they’re not intimidated by the size, and for women it has the story because women connect toward the emotional side. The men want to read the technical stuff,” says Glenda. Priced at $10, it’s been flying off the shelves.

One man attended their book signing this past Saturday at Coles and purchased one book. The next day, at the Fraser Valley Yard, Garden & Renovation Show, he stopped by the Standevens’ booth and bought seven more — one for every man in his family. The comments from those who’ve read it have been great, too. Glenda’s friend said “this book will save lives”, and Rick’s surgeon said it’s “going to be a bestseller because it has humour and sex in it.” “This book gives you all that stuff that you

need to know, in one spot,” says Rick “It’s the best $10 you’ll ever spend. I can’t say it enough,” says Glenda. Her book is available at Coles in Cottonwood Mall. The two left yesterday for a nineweek tour to promote the book. They’ll be doing 30 different events, five hosted by the Canadian Cancer Society, throughout B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Where confusion reigns

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

It’s difficult to imagine a more botched rollout than the policies and procedures surrounding the use of “medical marijuana” in Canada. For years municipal government’s like Chilliwack have sought clarity on an edict, set down not by elected officials, but by the courts. That decision – that the federal government must allow limited access to marijuana for medical purposes – has garnered nothing but confusion, regulator chaos and a virtual cottage industry of illegal activity. The federal government’s recent attempt to patch the gaping holes left in the original “plan” is off the rails again following a recent supreme court injunction. That injunction is now being appealed by the federal government as it prepares to battle a constitutional challenge. Consequently, people who had been allowed to grow their own marijuana, but were told to stop by April 1, have no idea if, or for how long, they can produce their own drug. More so, the municipal governments, police and public safety officials expected to enforce or monitor these operations are once again scrambling. But if it’s a mess, it’s nothing new. Ever since the courts allowed the personal cultivation of marijuana for medical purposes, there has been confusion. Federal privacy laws prevented local governments from knowing where these cottage pot farms existed. They could be in the neighbour’s house, or in an unused garage. That lack of clarity and accountability opened the system to abuse. Growers licensed to produce a specific amount for themselves could, with little oversight, produce extra to offset their costs. A legal grow up licensed for 74 plants in Cultus Lake, for example, was found to have 450 plants when it was busted a few years ago, police say. The new federal regulations that were to come into effect yesterday, were supposed to change that. But once again, confusion prevails. That uncertainty helps no one. It fails the communities in which these lucrative and potentially illegal operations exist, and it fails the people who have come to count on the relief medical marijuana provides. Surely we can do better. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

B.C. V IEWS

B.C. land reserve divided, not conquered VICTORIA – Kootenay Bill Bennett has done what I reported last November he was doing: seizing the horns of the sacred cow that is the Agricultural Land Reserve. Henceforth there shall be two land reserves. The Island, South Coast and Okanagan, which produce 85% of B.C.’s total farm revenue on 10% of protected land, retains its strict anti-development rules. In the much larger area Bennett likes to call “beyond Hope,” nonfarm uses will be considered to help maintain the many economically marginal farmers. This is the Interior, Kootenay and North, where development pressure is mostly an urban myth. In remote areas, ALR diktats with no relation to reality are routinely ignored. Political critics were quick to call this a B.C. Liberal hidden agenda to pave the ALR for their

developer pals. Certainly neither party’s 2013 platform talked about the ALR, although B.C. Liberal leadership candidates Kevin Falcon and Mike de Jong promised relief from its more senseless bureaucracy to Peace country farmers in 2011. When the zone plan was revealed Tom last week, media FLETCHER went to ALR pioneer Harold Steves, the hero of all Lower Mainlanders who try to tell northern farmers what to do. “My real fear is that they want to open the door for fracking and natural gas and oil,” Steves said. I’ve got bad news for the socialist sage of south Richmond. Oil and gas companies have operated on farmland since before the ALR

was created in 1974. Conspiracy buffs should read the delegation agreement that took effect just weeks after last May’s election, giving the Oil and Gas Commission authority to administer wells, pipelines and waste pits on farmland. If the ALR interferes with the prescribed handling of drilling waste, it interferes with safety measures. University of the Fraser Valley “food security” professor Lenore Newman went on CKNW to refute what she called “uninformed arguments,” and then offered one of her own. This two-zone change is connected to the exclusion of large tracts of Peace land for the Site C dam, she said. Actually, the government exempted that project last December using the long-standing “provincial interest” provision, so this phase of the alleged capitalist plot against farmland has no

Progress

effect on Site C. Steves is also concerned about second homes being built beyond Hope, and later sold rather than being destroyed as is the current disastrous rule. He warns that farmers might end up with “nonfarm neighbours,” or as we like to call them up north, “neighbours.” Again, this is an urban problem projected onto rural B.C., where costly restrictions mainly serve to accelerate the depopulation of rural and remote areas. Delta South independent MLA Vicki Huntington is livid about the legislation, which has no effect on loss of farmland in her constituency. The growing federally regulated port supersedes provincial laws, and the Tsawwassen First Nation is growing a big shopping centre on its treaty land. Aboriginal entrepreneurs are also starting to force bigbox development on southern

Vancouver Island, home of the purest of the pure left. This is where farmers can’t even protect themselves against deer. The most damning charge is that the six regional ALR panels now in place are open to corruption under new rules. Panel members have always been cabinet appointments, but currently they have to be from outside the region so they are less likely to hand out exemptions to their friends. That is certainly something to keep an eye on. So is the status of B.C. farms, where the average farmer age is 56 and rising, and half of farms have income less than $10,000 a year.

4. Before we know it, this province will be the Louisiana of the north, criss-crossed with abandoned pipelines left in place due to legislation that permits them to be. You may scoff at such a suggestion now, but would you have believed any government would expose BC’s ALR and park legacies to oil and gas exploration before last week’s events in the House? I hear through the grapevine that my MLA, John Martin, came in 10th in pork and 7th in ribs at this past weekend’s BBQ festival at Heritage Park. Congratulations, Mr. Martin. Now do tell me, please: where has your passion for the ALR gone? Pigs need to graze before they hit the “Q”, you know. During the 2012 by-election (as a candidate for the BC Conservative Party), John Martin made no secret of his admiration for the ALR, saying in a media release only two days prior to Election Day: “I’m worried that under the

Liberals the ALR has become a play thing for developers and well-connected special interests.” These words seem quasi-prophetic, don’t they? But now that Mr. Martin is a member of the Liberal caucus, He is silent (save for those occasions on which he has a BBQ competition to publicize). Why doesn’t he pipe up and let us all know that when he said he was worried about the ALR being “a play thing for developers and....special interests”, he wasn’t just blowing some cherryflavoured smoke from his everin-service BBQ? We could really benefit from such words from his advantageous position on the Liberal back benches right about now. John Martin is my MLA. I am asking that he stand up for the future of this province and its food security and break ranks with his caucus on this destructive legislation. Jennifer Woodroff Chilliwack

Martin urged to stand up for ALR I am horrified at the latest legislative pillaging to be conducted by the governing BC Liberals: that of the Agricultural Land Reserve. The Agricultural Land Reserve was founded for the purpose of providing a land base for future food security for the province of British Columbia. This farsighted legislation has long been admired all over the world as a bold means of ensuring that we will be able to feed ourselves in an uncertain future. To now suggest that 89% of this land (the portion that will no longer be protected, under the new legislation) should be opened for development by oil and gas interests is shocking. Bill 24 represents an abdication from responsibility for the people’s legacy by this government. But this cavalier disposal of legacy should come as no surprise to any of us, as the same pack of vandals has been only too willing to open BC’s parks to oil and gas exploration in Bill

Vaccinate your children; they’ll thank you later For the last few weeks, Chilliwack has gained North American wide attention due to the measles outbreak all through the Valley. Now, although I do not live here currently, my family does and I grew up here. I was missed when it came to getting a chicken pox vaccine. As such, growing up I was one of the unfortunate kids who experienced the illness... Twice. Now, as an adult, I have begun to live with the consequences of such. Now as an adult, I look back and wish

someone had made sure it was done. As a 37-year-old, supposedly at my prime, I fell victim to a case of stress related shingles. I spent almost two weeks feeling like someone had stabbed me in the top of my head with your choice of sharp implement and left it there. The pain is the worst I have ever experienced. Broken bones, stitches, sprains, ligament tears: none of these came close to the pain I experienced – not even close. The topper was being told by my doctor there was a risk

of it affecting my sight. Possibly permanently. At 37. Reading Gar y Raddysh’s opinion piece on vaccinations was a particularly chilling read. To rebut, not one piece of medical evidence is quoted. Not one experience as to the long term effects on his children. Mr. Raddysh: you will be happy to know I suffered through my experience without my privacy being compromised once. Big Brother didn’t take advantage of my infirm condition to take away my rights once

during this experience. Yup, I suffered privately. Without the police spying on me, without a single change to my rights or freedoms. Without being vaccinated as a child. Opinion vs reality, Mr. Raddysh (and the like minded), leaves me at continued risk throughout my life. Get your children vaccinated. At 37, they won’t know enough about it to thank you but if they are curious let them read about my experience. Ross Keller

CBC shines spotlight on Todd Richard Photo show Jessica Peters

Black Press

CBC Music is searching for the best new artist, and with any luck, they’ll find him right in our own backyard. Todd Richard is a contestant in the web and radio-driven contest, Searchlight, which opened to voting last Monday and will run until April 6. And while Richard may seem new to a few CBC listeners, he’s garnered plenty of fans in his hometown of Harrison Hot Springs. He also earned plenty of support during a run on the CMT hit show, Big in a Small Town, making it to

the top six from a total of 30 contestants. Richard was nominated for seven BC Country Music Awards in 2012, and has shared the stage with Dwight Yoakum, Dierks Bentley, Gord Bamford and Randy Bachman. He’s got a music video (Life’s About People), and three singles to his credit from his debut album Journey On. That album received a CCMA nomination for producer Bart McKay, and many country fans in this area will have heard Richard singing his original music at the many community events he has helped support, and even helped plan. He’s one of the heavyweights behind Harrison’s Bands on the

Beach event every summer, and helps out with the Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay for Life in Harrison. Richard is currently preparing to head into the studio with award-winning producer Tom McKillip. They’ve meticulously chosen a hand-full of well-crafted songs – written by the best of the best – and they are confident that this material is the perfect showcase for Todd’s warm, resonant voice and engaging performance chops. Fans of Richard can support him by going online to CBC’s website. You can vote up to 10 times a day, until April 6.

frames ‘Memories of Minter’

Memories of Minter, featuring a collection of pieces in photo art by Sandra McMartin opens April 4 at the Kariton Art Gallery in Abbotsford. The show, which memorializes the beauty of Minter Gardens – once one of the most beautiful gardens in the world – is presented by the Abbotsford Arts Council. Since opening its gates in May 1980, Minter Gardens had been a popular destination for gardening enthusiasts of all ages. However, in more recent years, the attraction felt the pressure of declining tourism and a changing climate. Together, these factors significantly impacted the long-term viability of operating an outdoor destination garden, and the Minter family decided to close the 32-acre show garden on October 14, 2013. In Memories of Minter, Sandra McMartin captures many moments of beauty and diversity at this former landmark destination in the Fraser Valley. Although she has owned a camera for most of her adult life, McMartin has only been using one as a tool for personal expression for the last few years. McMartin’s photography has won awards in the Canadian Association of Photographic Art (CAPA) Print Competition, the Lions Gate Celebration of Nature Competition and the Northwest Council of Camera Clubs Audio Visual Competition. Memories of Minter will run from April 4 to April 29 at the Kariton Art Gallery, located in Mill Lake Park at 2387 Ware Street. The gallery’s hours are Tuesday to Friday from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday to Sunday from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sandra McMartin will be present at an opening reception on Sunday, April 6, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. Nonperishable food donations for the Abbotsford Food Bank will be accepted at the Kariton Art Gallery throughout the exhibition. For additional information, contact the Abbotsford Arts Council by phone at (604) 852-9358, by email at abbotsfordartscouncil@gmail.com, or visit abbotsfordartscouncil.org.

Scene Dutch duo performs two church concerts A Dutch musical duo will be gracing the stages of two churches over the next week. Pan flautist, Liselotte Rokyta, and organist, André Knevel, will be performing tomorrow (April 3) at Cooke’s Presbyterian Church (45825 Wellington Ave.), and April 7 at Chilliwack Canadian Reformed Church 49379 Chilliwack Central Rd.). Rokyta studied to play the pan flute at the Academy of Music in Hiversum, Netherlands

and at the Academy of Arts in Amsterdam. She also travelled to Romania to familiarize herself with the authentic Romanian style of playing. Knevel was born in Bussum, Netherlands and began taking piano and organ lessons at the age of eight. He immigrated to Canada in 1975 where he studied at the University of Toronto. Knevel and Rokyta have been performing together for years. Together, they have done more

than 50 concerts throughout the Netherlands, Canada, and the U.S. The Bethel Netherlands Reformed Church Choir will be accompanying them during their two concerts. The April 3 concert is at 8 p.m. and the April 7 concert will begin at 7:30 p.m. Admission is by donation with a suggested donation of $10 for adults, $8 for students/seniors, and $25 for families.

YOUTH EXCHANGE A major Rotary objective under our motto of “Service Above Self” is to encourage and foster the advancement of international understanding and peace through a world of fellowship of business and professional persons - Youth Exchange is one of the most popular of all Rotary programs for that objective. Youth Exchange works by offering high-school aged students a unique opportunity to see and experience another part of the world. Those youth who are selected will usually spend a full academic year abroad, billeting with Rotary host families and attending local high schools. They are often seen as young ambassadors from their home countries, and provide fellow students in their host schools with enriching opportunities to learn about customs, languages and family life in another country lifelong friendships often result. More than 7,000 young people from around the world are participating annually in Rotarysponsored Youth Exchange programs. This year, the Rotary

sponsored by:

Rotary Club

Club of Chilliwack is continuing to support this program by sponsoring an out-bound student, Mr.Tanner Scott (to Germany) and an in-bound student, Ms.Caroline Bay (from Switzerland). Ms.Caroline Bay shared her feelings about the Youth Exchange program: “you know there are different cultures out there but as soon as you get to live one, you actually know how different they are, how it feels, what might be better and for what you should be more grateful for at home.” Dr. Sean Kilgannon, Chair of the Youth Exchange Committee for the Rotary Club of Chilliwack says “it’s fun to watch the exchange students transition from shy and unsure youths to open, bold and competent young leaders. The change is phenomenal, and a testament to this awesome program.” Youth Exchange continues to be a spectacular Rotary success story – please remember that your contribution to any Rotary fundraiser event will help us to continue sponsorship of this enlightened program for “Service Above Self.”

WISDOM TEETH

Chilliwack beekeeper and foodscape gardener, Laura Cameron, speaks during a bee workshop at Little Mountain Greenhouses on Saturday. The workshop included the basics on beekeeping followed by an introduction to her new bee-inspired book, Circlebee: A book about Circle and bees.

The average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth. It can be painful when 32 teeth try to fit in a space that should hold only 28 teeth. These four teeth are your third molars, also known as “wisdom teeth.” Wisdom teeth are the last teeth to erupt within the mouth, usually by the age of 18. When they align properly and gum tissue is healthy, wisdom teeth do not have to be removed. Unfortunately, this does not generally happen. The extraction of wisdom teeth is necessary when they are prevented from properly erupting within the mouth. They may grow sideways, partially emerge from the gum, and

even remain trapped beneath the gum and bone. These poorly positioned impacted teeth can cause many problems. When they are partially erupted, the opening around the teeth allows bacteria to grow and will eventually cause an infection. In most cases, the removal of wisdom teeth is performed under local anesthesia, laughing gas (nitrous oxide/oxygen analgesia) or general anesthesia. Our services are provided in an environment of optimum safety that utilizes modern monitoring equipment and staff who are experienced in anesthesia techniques.

Evans ups the fundraising ante Evans elementary is continuing its drive for a new playground. The school has several upcoming and ongoing fundraisers. On Saturday, June 14, the school is hosting a Ford Drive 4UR School Event from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Test drive a new car and raise money for the playground. For every test drive, Ford Motor

Track star signs on at Simon Fraser Eric J. Welsh, The Progress

Chilliwack native Jesse MacDuff will join one of Canada’s top university track and field programs this fall. The GW Graham senior has secured a spot at Simon Fraser University, an excellent place to continue honing his long-distance running skills. “I really wanted to go to SFU, because it has cross-country and track,” MacDuff said. “The campus looks awesome. It’s big and open with lots of space, but everything I want is right there.” MacDuff specializes in the middistance races — 800 and 1500 metre — with the 3000m mixed in. He started drawing notice in Grade 8, winning Fraser Valleys and making provincials every year. Brit Townsend is the head coach at SFU. The former Olympian in the 800m has held that post the last 13 years and doesn’t welcome just anyone into her program. The first time MacDuff sat across the table from the seven time national coach of the year, one word popped into his head. “She was intense,” he said. “She seems like she’ll get in your face and make you work really hard. She’s a nice person, but when I watched her coach there was a lot of, ‘work harder.’ MacDuff has excelled all the way up the local track and field ladder and thus hasn’t required coaches to ‘get in his face.’ “I’ll just try to take it as a learning experience and make myself better,” MacDuff said when asked how he’ll react to the Townsend approach. “I can take a lot. Most of the time I react pretty well to people yelling at me, as long as they don’t do it in a way I don’t like.” MacDuff doesn’t believe Townsend will ever find issue with his work ethic. By his own admission he’s not the most athletically talented runner, but he maximizes what he’s got with a never-say-die attitude. “My head doesn’t let me stop,” he elaborated. “My legs say stop, but my head keeps telling me, ‘You can

do more.’ I have no clue where that comes from, but I never want to quit something. I just want to keep going.” Not easy to do when you’re 2,000 metres into a 3,000 metre race, but somehow he always manages to get it done. “The 1,500 metre mark is really where you get the ‘I don’t want to do this anymore’ feeling,” he said. “When you hit 2,000 metres, you start telling yourself you’re almost there and put the gas on.” According to the SFU athletics website, the school has 32 males involved in hurdles, sprint or longdistance running. There’s another 24 on the women’s side. “We don’t have a lot of people doing track at GW Graham, so it’s been more of an individual thing,” MacDuff said, contrasting the SFU crowd with his current semi-solitary existence. “They’ve got a big team. All the runners are doing stuff together and it looks really cool. You have someone to go against, training with people who can help push you to new limits.” People who choose track and field often do so because they enjoy the individual challenge — they don’t have to rely on teammates for success, only themselves. MacDuff isn’t like that. “I’ve been that way all my life, and that’s why I liked playing basketball at GW Graham,” said the multi-sport standout. “It’s nice having those people around you.” He’ll have a couple of familiar faces at SFU. GW Graham grad Lorenzo Smith is completing his sophomore season as a competitor in the 800 and 1500m events. Sardis secondary school grad David Sawatzky is finishing up his freshman season. He too runs the 800 and 1500m. MacDuff will study criminology with an eye towards police work. He finds the premise of ‘bringing people to justice’ appealing. He’ll be living on campus, and he looks forward to the freedom he’ll have. “I think it’s going to be a lot of fun,” he said. Get more SFU info online at athletics.sfu.ca

A star in the local track and field scene, Chilliwack’s Jesse MacDuff will test himself against higher level competition when he joins the Simon Fraser University team this fall. He will be the second GW Graham grad on SFU’s men’s track and field roster. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Three teams in third-round dogfight Honor for academic athlete

The BCHL playoffs are into the third round, with a new format on display. Three teams are left. The Coquitlam Express emerged as Mainland division champions, upsetting the Langley Rivermen in a six-game second round series. The Vernon Vipers claimed the Interior division crown with a seven game win over the Penticton Vees. The Victoria Grizzlies vanquished the Powell River Kings in six games in the Island division final. The three are now locked in a roundrobin series, with each team playing two home games. The Vipers beat the Grizzlies 5-4 in Victoria March 28 and bombed

the Express 6-1 at home March 30. Those results make Vernon a strong bet to be in the best of seven BCHL final that starts April 11. The Grizzlies and Express played Tuesday night (after Progress press deadlines). The final roundrobin games have Coquitlam visiting Victoria Thursday and Victoria visiting Vernon Saturday. If necessary, Vernon will visit Coquitlam next Monday. If two or more teams share the same record

after the six round-robin games are completed, tie-breakers kick in. The playoffs utilize the same tie-breakers as the regular season. From the BCHL website; the following tiebreakers are applied in order to determine the standings when two teams have an even number of points: Most wins, most points acquired in games played between tied teams, superior goal differential from games played between tied teams and superior goal differential from overall games played. As a last resort, an

Grand Opening

extra tie-breaker game would be played to determine who advances. The BCHL champion will be decided no later than April 20, with that team moving on to the Western Canada Cup. Taking place April 26 to May 4 in Dauphin, Manitoba, the WCC pits the BCHL champ against the top dogs from the Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba junior A hockey leagues. The national championship, the 2014 Royal Bank Cup tournament, will be played in Vernon starting May 10.

Chilliwack native Nicole Wierks picked up some hardware Friday as the University of the Fraser Valley held its annual athletics awards banquet. The Chilliwack secondar y school graduate was given the Female Academic Award for a second year in row. A star on the UFV women’s basketball team, Wierks maintained a sparkling A+ (4.33) average. On the court she averaged 9.1 points per game and a staggering .519 field goal percentage. Wierks wasn’t able to attend the awards banquet. She was off on an interview for

medical school. Her teammate, Mission native Aieisha Luyken, was named UFV’s female athlete of the year, with basketball standout Jasper Moedt getting the nod on the men’s side. Women’s soccer standout Carley Radomski (Langley) was named the female rookie of the year. Men’s soccer star Dylan Jordan (Surrey) was named the male rookie of the year. Chilliwack’s Aaron Pauls was named most valuable player on the men’s golf team after leading his crew to a national title in 2013. Get the full awards online at ufvcascades.ca

OBITUARIES

GENGE

Charles Almond Sept. 4th 1925 - Mar. 30th 2014 Our dear Dad, Charles Genge, passed away March 30th into the arms of his beloved wife Sylvia who went before him, hours before the day that would have been her birthday...they are together again. Charles was born in Elgin, Ontario on September 4th, 1925. He moved with his family to Kingston after years of living in the small Ontario town of Gananoque. He served in the second world war then came home to study woodworking. Charles became a master carpenter who went on to build 15 beautiful acoustic guitars over the years for his son Rick and for family members and dear friends. Dad was also an inventor who held a patent on a tool he created for trimming doors. Charles loved to shop and we have fond memories of him enjoying one last spree at Sears just three weeks ago. He leaves behind his two sons; Chuck (Jeanne) and Rick (Lori), three grandchildren; Morray (Sigrid), Kyle and Stuart, and three great-grand children; Ahnika, Owen and Ella. As requested, he will take the ashes of three of his beloved cats with him when he is laid to rest. To all his friends back in Ontario, or to anyone wishing to honour his memory, we ask that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent in his name to Cascades Hospice in Chilliwack BC, where Charles received the most loving care during his last days. We are grateful to his Dr.s in New West including his oncologist Dr. Noble and to Chilliwack Dr.s Rosemarie and Sean Cambridge as well as the excellent Dr.s and nursing staff at Chilliwack General Hospital. We also thank Chilliwack Lifestyles where Dad made some good friends over the past 6 months of his residing there. Charles enjoyed many delicious holiday meals at Chuck and Jeanne’s where he looked forward to visits with Jeanne’s sister Ann and their mother Violet Flewelling. Special love and thanks also go to Tim & Shannon Croiter and Nick & Darlene Gidney, who, through their devoted friendship, became his family as well. Whenever we play Charlie’s guitars, we will remember his kind heart and his generous spirit. Dad, you are forever in our hearts, we love you so much. 04/14W_OG2

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.
