Chiefs name new head coach, GM New hire finished second at Royal Bank Cup in 2012 Eric Welsh The Progress
The Chilliwack Chiefs have found the man who will replace Harvey Smyl as the head coach and general manager. His name is Jason Tatarnic. Those who follow the national junior A scene closely may recognize that name. For eight years Tatarnic was the hockey boss with the Woodstock Slammers of the Maritime Junior Hockey League. During his tenure, the team won three Kent Cups as league champion. Tatarnic led the Slammers to the Royal Bank Cup during the 2011-12 season, finishing as runner-up to the juggernaut Penticton Vees. He took last year off after the Slammers ownership changed hands. “He has a vast network of contacts within junior hockey, and the university and collegiate system throughout the United States and Canada,” said team president Glen Ringdal. “Virtually every level of hockey in North America, really. He’s well equipped for the teaching function, and he has a high reputation for community involvement, which is vital.” Ringdal started with 40 candidates to sift through, quickly whittling the list down to 12. “We were looking for people with relevant coaching experience, and some proven record as a coach,” Ringdal noted. “We were also looking for some evidence that the candidate was a teacher capable of not only developing hockey players but also young men. After we got the list down to 12 the entire ownership group got involved and honed it down to the final three.” The last candidates standing were interviewed Thursday morning — Tatarnic in person and the other two via Skype. When Ringdal sat down one final time with the ownership group, he was confident he’d found the right guy. “I asked them all what their team would look like, what words they’d use to describe Continued: CHIEFS/ p10

Critics say NEB muzzling most oil pipeline speakers Jeff Nagel Black Press
The National Energy Board will let more than three quarters of the 2,100 individuals and organizations that applied participate to some degree in upcoming hearings into the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline. But critics say most participants will be limited to a written statement and denied the chance to speak directly to the board when oral hearings begin in early 2015. Several municipalities are among the 400 applicants granted intervenor status, including the
Fraser Valley Regional District. The City of Chilliwack chose not to apply. It opted instead for commenter status from the outset, saying it did not what to duplicate the work or costs undertaken by the FVRD. Chilliwack joins about 1,250 applicants approved by the NEB for commenter status, which limits them to a written statement. Another 450 were excluded altogether. The Conservative federal government altered the NEB hearing process after the lengthy Northern Gateway pipeline hearings, eliminating the option for commenters to speak and requiring applicants demonstrate they’re
directly impacted by the project or hold relevant expertise. “It’s a sad day for democracy in Canada, when nearly a thousand people who stepped up to take part in a complex regulatory process to have their say about a project of national significance are shut out of the hearings,” said Christianne Wilhelmson of the Georgia Strait Alliance, which was granted intervenor status. The $5.4-billion project would twin the 60-year-old oil pipeline that runs from northern Alberta to Burnaby, nearly tripling capacity to 890,000 barrels per day, and resulting in a five-fold jump in the number of oil tankers passing through Vancouver harbour. The
second 1,150-kilometre line would carry mainly diluted bitumen for export to Asia. The municipalities of Victoria, Vancouver, West Vancouver, North Vancouver, Burnaby, Port Moody, Belcarra, Coquitlam, New Westminster, Richmond, Surrey, White Rock, Langley Township, Abbotsford and Hope were all approved as intervenors, along with the Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley regional districts. Other intervenors include the federal NDP, Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, numerous First Nations and environmental groups, oil companies, Enbridge’s Northern Gateway project, Continued: FVRD/ p5

Long ambulance waits for low-priority calls under fire Jeff Nagel Black Press
B.C. firefighters say a downgrade in response priority for less urgent medical calls by the B.C. Ambulance Service has resulted in much longer waits for paramedics to arrive. A reallocation of ambulance service last fall shifted dozens of call types – often for broken bones and other incidents where the patient is medically stable – so that those ambulances now roll at posted speed limits without lights and siren, rather than Code 3 at high speed.
Officials say it’s meant an average of six minutes slower arrival times to those calls, but allowed one minute faster average responses to urgent life-or-death emergencies like heart attacks, while reducing the risk of high-speed crashes between ambulances and other vehicles. B.C. Professional Fire Fighters Association president Mike Hurley said that doesn’t match what fire department first responders are seeing. “Our experience in the field is it’s anywhere from 30 to 45 minutes and longer for an ambulance to show up,” Hurley said of the
downgraded calls. “They’ve lessened the service to the citizens of each community.” He said the types of calls that are no longer dispatched at high speed include serious falls, serious hemorrhages and certain pregnancy calls. They make up about nine per cent of overall ambulance calls, according to a report on the reallocation plan, and mean 800,000 fewer kilometres of lights-andsiren driving each year. Dr. William Dick, vice-president of medical programs at B.C. Emergency Health Services, said the changes flow from a rigor-
ous two-year expert review that assessed outcomes for patients and the risks of high-speed ambulance driving. “It’s safer to the driving public, it’s safer for our paramedics and it’s safer for our patients,” Dick said Wednesday. He likened the change to hospital triage policies that give the most urgent cases priority ahead of patients who can safely wait longer. “We’re doing the same thing they’re doing in the emergency department but we’re doing it on the street or in people’s homes.” Dick said a rolling analysis of the changes has so far found no
change in medical outcomes for patients whose call priority was reduced. Several fire departments and municipalities have criticized the change. A report by the Vancouver Fire Department estimates ambulance response times there are an average of 21 minutes slower and Burnaby has also reported a jump in long ambulance waits. Dick said he believes reports of extreme waits are anomalies and none of the cases involve people in medical danger. Continued: CHANGES/ p23
More Chilliwack drivers behind the wheel: study Greg Knill
The Progress Chilliwack’s love affair with the automobile remains as strong as ever, says a recent study by the Fraser Valley Regional District. But where we are driving, and why, is changing. The findings, presented to Chilliwack city councillors on Tuesday, show that our dependency on cars has grown five per cent over a three-year period, climbing to 71 per cent for all trips taken in 2011, from 66 per cent in 2008. The numbers are based on the FVRD’s most recent Regional Trip Diary Survey. Combining census results with more than 21,000 personal ridership surveys, the FVRD developed a snapshot of transit and transportation behaviour in the region. It then compared those results with a similar study done in 2008. The goal is to note trends and develop longterm planning priorities within the FVRD. What the region found was that despite a slowing economy, the introduction of the Carbon Tax, and higher overall fuel prices, FVRD residents drive more now than they did in 2008. Transit use, meanwhile, fell by half, dropping to one per cent of all trips taken in 2011, from the high of two per cent three years earlier. The FVRD study blames the decline on a transit system that could not keep pace with a growing population. Indeed, the Fraser Valley – and Chilliwack in particular – remains one of the fastest growing regions in the Lower Mainland. Overall, the FVRD population grew 13 per cent from 2001 to 2011; In Chilliwack it grew 22.2 per cent – nearly twice as fast as Abbotsford and more than any other community in the region. That growth is expected to continue, with another 200,000 people expected to move into the region over the next three decades. By 2041 more than 151,000 people are expected to be living in Chilliwack. “Managing this growth and accommodating changing travel demands is essential,” the study said, “particularly in the area of reducing automobile dependence and increasing alternate and sustainable travel options such as walking, cycling and transit.” Employment patterns are also changing, with more people working closer to their homes.

Library addition lets you read with your ears Katie Bartel The Progress
Whether you like to read books or listen to them, Chilliwack Library can fulfill your needs. Last week, the downtown library was retrofitted with a listening station, for its sightimpaired customers, featuring four, new digital accessible information system (DAISY) players. It’s a first for the Fraser Valley, and librarian Smitty Miller says it’s long overdue. A few months ago Miller was approached by a blind woman and asked if there was anywhere in the library
she could sit and listen to books. Miller’s heart sunk. She’d been transforming the downtown library for months, making it more accessible, but until that moment, she hadn’t considered what the library was like for people who couldn’t physically read. “I was really embarrassed,” she said. “That’s not fair. We have this collection [of audiobooks], why can’t people listen to them here? You can sit and read books, why not read this way?” Miller approached Friends of the Library and Chilliwack Lions Club for financial assis-
tance, and a few months later, the library was equipped with a listening station – four DAISY players with high quality headphones, and four coffee shop style chairs that have a swivel top table on the armrests. The DAISY players are easy to operate with large buttons on the top. For every button pushed, a voice will playback what you’re doing. For example, if you pause the recording, it will say “pause” and if you eject, it will say “eject.” As well, there is also the ability to change the speed of the recording, enabling users to slow the narrator’s voice down or
speed it up depending on their needs. “The public library is all about being accessible for all; that’s what the public library stands for,” said Miller. “So now, if that blind lady ever comes back, she’ll have a place to listen to her books.” The DAISY players play CDs, MP3s, USB sticks, and SD cards. While predominantly for sight-impaired customers, it is available for the general public as well. The listening station is located in front of the audiobooks section. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Mayor Sharon Gaetz said that level of participation was not necessary because the FVRD had already applied. The city will be submitting its concerns to the NEB, that includes water and habitat protection. “What we are asking for first and foremost is protection of the Sardis Aquifer, since that’s our drinking water,” said Gaetz. “If the pipeline traverses the aquifer we want to make sure all the latest technology is employed, and that all risks are mitigated,”
Gaetz said. There will be 12 topics up for discussion at the hearings, including potential environmental and social effects of the project, cumulative environmental effects, the potential impact of tanker shipping, aboriginal impacts, contingency planning for spills, accidents and malfunctions and the economic feasibility of the project. Off limits are discussions about the impacts of exploiting Alberta’s oil sands as well as climate change impacts from eventually burning the oil.

A.D. Rundle assembles building blocks to success Katie Bartel The Progress
A.D. Rundle middle school has taken matters into its own hands to enhance the success of its students. This year the school rolled out a new math and reading program called Success Blocks, in which all students and teachers participate. It’s not a learning assistance program, but a remediation and retention program. That means struggling students, middle-of-the-road students, and high achievers are all getting the supports they need to succeed. As well, all teachers, not just math and English, are teaching the program. “We’re not singling anyone out,” said principal Paula Gosal. “Were making sure we’re meeting every students’ needs … not just the students who are struggling.” Success Blocks is held twice a week during a 49-minute block that was previously used for silent reading. The first term was
M
E
for mathematics and the second for reading and writing. Back in October, all students were tested in numeracy and then streamed into a class suited to their needs. Some classes had students working at a higher grade, while others had students going back to the basics and foundations of mathematics. “We’re seeing an incredible number of kids coming into our schools without foundational skills,” said teacher Lee-Anne Clarke, coordinator of the program. It’s not just an A.D. Rundle phenomenon, it’s happening at schools everywhere. Students entering middle school scoring significantly below their grade level for math; writing sentences without capitalization or periods; choosing books at a reading level far below where they should be. And with teachers required to push curriculums through, many of those students already struggling often fall further behind. With Success Blocks, there

is no designated curriculum, no tests, no boring worksheets, no homework. The only directive is to ensure all students become comfortable with the three Rs. For math, that comfortability was accomplished through game-based learning. Counting money in Monopoly. Adding and subtracting in cribbage. Forming sequences in rummy and bridge. All math. Preliminary results have shown success. Following the math semester, all students were again tested; the results showed an increase in understanding anywhere from two to 20 per cent. “Which is phenomenal,” said Gosal. Add to that the anecdotal evidence: Students, who at the beginning of the year groaned about having to do more math, now begging for it over reading and writing. Students coming into teacher Alisha Need’s math class at lunch requesting a deck of play-

ing cards. “I’ve never had that before,” the teacher said, her eyes lighting up. And the three teenaged boys, who Gosal saw reading to one another. Boys, who their principal described as being more hands-on learners than quiet readers, typical teenaged boys, who bound with energy and enjoy pushing boundaries, but who, on this particular day, were squished together on a bench taking turns reading and respectively listening to one another. “A few of my boys who you wouldn’t expect to be so engaged reading and listening,” said Gosal. “That blew me away. They wanted to do this.” As do their teachers. The program was rolled out in fast action last fall, and already, staff has unanimously supported bringing it back next year. “It’s about improving learning,” said Clarke. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

The 92nd annual Chilliwack Plowing Match takes place this Saturday. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGESS FILE
Breaking the sod on Saturday The traditional turning of the sod gets underway this weekend at the 92nd annual Chilliwack Plowing Match. The event will bring farmers, along with their draft horses and tractors, to a wide-open field for another traditional plowing competition on Saturday. This year’s match takes place at the south-east corner of Annis and Chilliwack Central roads at 10:30 a.m. People with draft horses will be competing in the walking plow and sulky (riding) plow classes. Those with trac-
tors will be taking part in classes such as antique tractor, reversible plow, and junior tractor. The B.C. senior and junior championships will also be held this weekend. The Chilliwack Plowing Match is hosted by the Chilliwack Plowing Society and starts at 10:30 a.m. on Saturday, April 5. Admission is $5, kids 12 and under are free. Lunch and refreshments will be available from the Sardis Kiwanis Club concession.

Nearly 90 per cent of the trips originating in the FVRD ended in the FVRD, with roughly 28 per cent taken for work purposes. Much of that travel was between Abbotsford and Chilliwack. In fact, there is now more travel between the two cities than there is between Abbotsford and Mission. This, said the study, came despite the fact that there is currently no transit link between Chilliwack and its western neighbour. Meanwhile travel to Metro Vancouver has fallen – a point noted by councillor Jason Lum who referred to recent suggestions by some Metro Vancouver politicians that FVRD residents should contribute to TransLink’s budget. This latest study will be used by the FVRD and its transit partners as it plans for the decades ahead. Says the report: “This knowledge will be invaluable as the Fraser Valley Regional District looks forward to creating a future regional transportation system that meets travel demand, is efficient, reduces greenhouse gas emissions and contributes to the creation of healthier communities.”

Cursive handwriting could soon disappear from public schools. The provincial government is considering removing that skill from the mandatory teaching curriculum, as many school districts have already done across the U.S. It is seen as unnecessary in today’s ever-more technological world, a roadblock in the course of a teacher’s packed day. More and more elementary students submit computer printouts of essays and assignments. Those just a few years older simply put them in online drop boxes that teachers can access. Those in high school and college take notes on laptops and tablets. Anyway, how many kids write letters to their grandparents anymore? They can communicate instantly on Facebook, or through Skype. Computer and typing skills have replaced penmanship. Cursive writing is becoming obsolete. Since 2010, 45 states have deemed teaching cursive no longer mandatory, and it is being taught less in Ontario. It’s up to teachers if they want to make the time to teach it. Some may argue that since many historical documents are written in cursive, future students will need to know how to read them. Others will suggest neater handwriting leads to better grades, in reading and math. And more will ask how, when kids grow up, will they sign cheques? Medical forms? Autographs? Schools still teach block print. Yes, cursive writing is disappearing from the communication landscape. Going forward, keyboard skills will be more important, and even those may one day prove dated. Still, we must fully consider what it is we will be losing when we stop teaching kids cursive writing. It looks nice, but so does calligraphy. Why teach two or three forms of writing when one will do? The writing for cursive is on the wall. ~ Black Press
L OCALLY G LOBAL
A little food for thought on global climate change On Monday, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change release Report No. 5 which outlined dire consequences ahead as the world marches into a warming world. And without doubt part of the problem has been human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. According to Michel Jarraud, secretary-general of the World Meteorological Organization, the report was based on more than 12,000 peer-reviewed scientific studies. The document, he said, was the “most solid evidence you can get in any scientific discipline”. The fingerprints of a changing climate include the extremes of weather patterns and catastrophic weather events. Temperature extremes have brought ferocious drought to Australia, Russia and southwest U.S.A. Extreme storms have driven Sandy, Katrina, and typhoon Haiyan. Extreme
cold brought central and eastern Canada to a standstill this winter. That Arctic vortex has been linked to a weakening jet stream influenced by warming Arctic temperatures. Mountain peaks are draining away snowpacks, oceans are becoming more acidic putting at risk corals and fish stocks. Wild species are changMargaret ing migration patEVANS terns, trees are on the move shifting their northern ranges further north while small mammals in the mountain are moving to higher elevations. Arctic ice is collapsing just as the permafrost is liquefying and destabilizing homes. This isn’t hypothetical stuff. It’s real and it’s happening now. The IPCC clarion call is reduce
emissions, mitigate human activities and adapt. But one of the greatest concerns coming out of the report is the impact of a changing climate on food production, water resources, and the security for both. Many countries are seeing a decrease in crop yields. Russia’s 2012 mega-drought resulted in an almost 25 per cent lower grain harvest than 2011 and affected worldwide wheat prices. Getting ahead of a looming food crisis, agricultural research scientists are already working on breeding new strains of crops or genetically modifying them to be more resistant to drought, disease, or pests. In recent years the agricultural livestock sector has been accused of being unsustainable and accounting for 14.5 per cent of human-induced greenhouse gas emissions. But meat from livestock is essential for a healthy

diet and, in many third world countries, culturally significant. A study from the University of Bristol, U.K. reported in the journal Nature that 70 per cent of grains used by developed countries is fed to animals. This could be changed by grazing cattle, sheep, and goats on pasture and eating hay, silage, and high fibre crop residues unsuitable for humans, making more land available for human food. Properly managed graze ranges generate biodiversity, maintain the ecosystem, and improve carbon capture by plants and soil. Eat food, mostly plants, not too much goes the mantra. Add to that, eat local food, locally produced, or grown at home. And one of the most basic foods is the potato. “In the U.S. we rely primarily on 10 to 12 types of potatoes,” said Karl Zimmerer, professor of geography with Penn State University.
“In South America there are 74 different types of potatoes in a single field.” In fact, there are some 5,000 potato varieties among the South American Andes mountain slopes where potatoes originated, many with future food potential. The potato yields more nutritious food more quickly on less land and in harsher climates than any other major food crop. The other half of the food equation is the appalling amount wasted. Worldwide, half of all food produced is wasted in processing, transport, supermarkets, or kitchens. About 30 per cent of food is thrown away in the U.S. Canadians waste some $27 billion worth of food annually, much of it tossed in landfills that produce 20 per cent of Canada’s emissions. Perhaps the first step to mitigation and adapting should start at home.

Strahl defends elections act Elections act fair for whom? I’m writing today to provide some balance to your recent story on the Fair Elections Act, as I was not contacted by the Chilliwack Progress to comment on the Act, the protest at my office, or the assertions made by my political opponents. First, I respect the right of citizens to make their views known and think it is a sign of a healthy democracy. I will leave it to your readers to judge for themselves just how “non-partisan” the protest was, as claimed by the organizers, when said organizers and spokespersons are the ex-NDP MLA and the president of the local Liberal Party of Canada riding association (appearing complete with Liberal scarf in your photo). I don’t think that the involvement of leftwing activist organizations such as leadnow.org, the Council of Canadians or the Canadian Federation of Students helps make their case either. Partisan rhetoric aside,
the Fair Elections Act will ensure just that - fair elections. Our government believes, and we think most Canadians agree, that if you want to vote in a federal election that you should be able to prove you are who you say you are. Voters will be able to do so using 39 separate pieces of ID, which include ever ything from a drivers’ license, a BC Care Card, a utility bill, a student card, a hospital bracelet, a debit or credit card, an Indian status card and many, many others. You can’t sign a book out of the public library without a library card (which, by the way is also acceptable ID at a voting station) so why should we accept that people should be able to show up at a polling station without proof of who they are and where they live? The Fair Elections Act will also ensure that Elections Canada does a better job of informing Canadians of when and where to vote, and what forms of ID will be
required to receive a ballot. Finally, the Fair Elections Act will ensure that those who try to game the system are subjected to tougher penalties, and that the investigations will be handled by a truly independent Commissioner of Elections, who will now report directly to the Director of Public Prosecutions. This means that he or she will have sharper teeth, a broader reach, and a freer hand than is currently the case under the Elections Act. Canadians expect that our federal elections will be conducted in a fair and transparent manner. They expect that only those who are entitled to vote are allowed to vote, and they expect those who break election laws to be prosecuted and punished to the full extent of the law. That’s what Canadians will get with the Fair Elections Act. Mark Strahl, MP Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon
Volunteers Nati onal Volunteer We It is time to recognize, celebrate and thank the many volunteers who support Chilliwack Community Services (CCS). Volunteers strengthen our community and make our country vibrant.
All Canadians are constitutionally guaranteed the right to vote. Yet again this Conservative government is challenging one of the basic rights of Canadians. The more one ponders the Or wellian-sounding “Fair Elections Act,” the more one has to come to conclusion that this legislation has more to do with gaming the system and providing the Harper Conservatives with more political advantages, than it does with fairer elections. Indeed, virtually every change, be it upping contribution limits, neutering the Chief Electoral Officer, or even doing away with vouching, is good for the Conservatives and not so good for the opposition parties…or for democracy in general. Canada’s election challenge is to increase citizen participation by getting more people out to vote, rather than eliminating
tools such as the vouching system and the voter information card. Canada’s election crisis is related to low voter turnout and uncertainty surrounding the dirty tricks used by political operatives in the last federal election … it’s not fraud by individual voters…it’s not vouching as suggested by this government. The 120,000 people who voted in the last election did so by vouching were mostly seniors, students and First Nation Canadians. Canadians need to ask themselves: Will the number of cases of fraud prevented actually be greater than the number of people prevented from voting? This bill has been slammed by academics in Canada and by a group of international election law experts from around the world weighing in at how bad this would be for Canada, for Canadians, for emerging democracies
that look up to Canada. It again further erodes the way the world looks at us. Changes in the electoral law should be consensual, not pushed through Parliament by the governing party acting alone. Democracy and elections do not belong to any one party. Organizing them is not the responsibility of the government of the day. The Conservatives have already used their majority to defeat amendments made and supported by all opposition parties to the Fair Elections Act by a vote of 149-131…not one Tory MP, including Mark Strahl saw fit to break ranks, despite mounting public opposition to this bill. This bill should be challenged at every level. Voting is your Canadian right, limiting the ways in which you can vote is simply unconstitutional. Louis De Jaeger

Where Business Happens! It’s already April and spring is finally here with lots of new beginnings. The new board has been sworn in by the Mayor and we are strategically planning; finding ways to serve our members and the entire business community even more in the future. As you may have noticed, the Irwin block came down last week as a necessary part of increasing vitality in the downtown core. As new development and improvements begin, we are looking forward to our downtown core increasing its variety of businesses including, retail outlets, coffee shops/ restaurants with patios as well as professional services like doctors, dentists, accountants, etc. Also, the addition of newer and improved housing above these businesses will further ensure our downtown is a livable place. A thriving downtown needs a good economy, safety and security and a soul. Although some may say we have been doing some “soul searching� over the past few years; the City is well underway, taking action to improve and increase the vitality of our downtown and the rest of Chilliwack along with it. As you know, every 3rd Tuesday of the month is Chamber Connections! The next one is on April 15th, 5pm-8pm and our host will be The Royal Hotel on Wellington Avenue. Come connect, network and take a tour through this oldest hotel in town.
CAN HELP YOU KEEP AND ATTRACT
THE BEST EMPLOYEES Today, employees expect group insurance beneďŹ ts. By providing your employees with affordable, exible insurance options, unbeatable guarantees, and value-added beneďŹ ts, you can attract and keep the best employees. Join more than 25,000 Canadian companies enjoying the Plan’s ďŹ nancial strength, stable rates, and personal attention.
We also want to give you an update about the Multi Material BC Program that is planned to start on May 19th. As a result of our network’s hard work on this file, the B.C. government has exempted from this regulation any business that meets one or more of these criteria: Any business with less than $1 million in gross annual sales; Any business that annually produces less than 1 tonne of packaging and printed paper; and Any business with a single point of sale, with the exception of franchises, chains and businesses operating under a banner. This translates into approximately 27,000 producer businesses being excluded from the program. This means that, as a result of Chamber network advocacy, only 2,000 to 3,000 of B.C.’s nearly 400,000 businesses will be captured under the program – less than 1%. We’ve become aware that MMBC may not be exempting small B.C. franchise locations under the first two exemptions, potentially creating hardship for this sector. Certain industry sectors, such as the newspaper and printing industries, are just now coming to our network for assistance in mitigating potential hardship under the current MMBC program.
So there is more work to be done and this is what we think can be achieved: More local governments returning MMBC savings to their taxpayers – or explaining why not; Ensuring that the spirit of the exemptions, with regards franchises, is carried out; and For business sectors still facing undue hardship under this program, there may be opportunities to achieve some mitigation. So what are we doing? All the Chambers will work collectively with the BC Chamber to push for local government accountability on what’s happening with MMBC savings in communities throughout B.C. We will work to ensure that the franchise sector is treated fairly under the program exemptions. And we commit to work with any business sectors within our membership that face undue hardship under the MMBC program towards finding realistic solutions that we can assist in advocating to government. We have already entered into proactive dialogue with the newspaper industry and will report back to our membership on outcomes. If you want to be a part of our local Chamber of Commerce and take advantage of all the great benefits we have for you, please call Fieny at 604793-4323 or e-mail: info@chilliwackchamber.com

Kia taking on the small cars from the big guys
HUNTINGTON BEACH, CALIFORNIA – Kia rounds out its attack on the country’s best-selling cars with the launch of the final two models to the Forte lineup. Last year Kia introduced their all-new Forte sedan to compete with such top sellers as the Honda Civic, Mazda3, Toyota Corolla and Hyundai Elantra. This week, the 5-door hatchback version called Forte5 and the coupe, called Forte Koup begin arriving in dealerships. The launch of these two vehicles took us from Huntington Beach, California, through the mountains and desert to Borrego Springs and then back through the mountains to San Diego. The terrain varies from massive California highways to very twisty mountain passes and vast desert valleys. Stunning scenery and a recommended drive for any sightseer or driving enthusiast. Looks The Forte5 is the more practical of the two new Kias with a hatchback design that sets it apart from the competition. Many competitors don’t offer a hatch so this is sure to be noticed by people who need extra storage and passenger room. Sold with a new base 2.0L engine or an optional 1.6L turbo engine, there are varied looks depending on which trim is chosen. The non-turbo Forte5 gets a front grille similar to the sedan with a smaller lower intake and a larger grille opening. The Forte5 SX turbo gets the same grille as the Koup, with the opposite

The great news ft. of torque that comes on at a very low 1750 is that all Forte5 and Koup models come with RPM. The turbo also gets a stiffer suspension, alloy wheels; 16-inches on the Forte5 and 18bigger wheels, sharper steering feel and shorter inch alloys on the turbo version. The Koup has gear ratios from first to third gear. This makes 17-inch base alloys or 18-inches on the turbo. the car livelier and handles better but it also Inside makes the car a bit twitchy on the highway I drove the top Turbo version of the Forte5 and when driving straight. the base, non-turbo version of the The base 2.0L would be my choice.

Confessions of a Curber
Noodling on the web one morning I found out that I was selling vehicles illegally. If I was in the business of selling, I need to be licensed as a dealer. Oh well. Everything’s been working out just fine for me. I skated through those recent bad deals. My previous sales were a distant memory – I was eager to start selling more. So, I decided to up my game a bit. I got a low-end truck and a car from an auction and another car from a new parking lot friend. I put ads for all three vehicles on Craigslist. Of course my ads said they were all real gems. You’d think people might see through my ads. “Need to sell fast, so price is flexible. Call with best offer.” And my cell number was the same for all three. Would anybody notice? The first two cheaper vehicles sold quickly. The last one took a bit longer to sell. Of course, it was the one I was most eager to sell. Why, you ask? Well, not that I passed the information along, but the auction provided vehicle history reports for the first two. I had no information on the last. So, I bought ICBC and CarProof vehicle history reports. I wanted to educate myself. To my surprise, there was a statement in both reports that the vehicle was possibly “stolen*.” I knew I had to sell it fast. I mean, I’d paid for it and I knew my new “friend” wouldn’t take it back. Four days later, I got a call from a young
“Apart from being stolen, it was pretty nice!”

cues and added a couple of letters on the back and now we have the Dodge Dart GT. What sets it apart from its siblings are a stretched-down grille and LED headlights. You’ll find the rear clad with the ‘Racetrack’ LED lights that run the full length of the trunk. Then there’s a set of 18-inch wheels that come standard on this vehicle along with a 2.4L, MultiAir, 4-cylinder Tigershark engine, matched with a 6-speed manual transmission, that brings to the pavement 184 horsepower and 171 lb-ft of torque. Of all the characteristics I like about this trim of Dart, I think its transmission is the weakest link. In previous reviews of other Dart models – like the 1.4L, Turbocharged version with 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque – the gear throws are, in my opinion, too
long to really give it that edge and sporty vibe that it needs to compete with vehicles like the VW GTI, Honda Civic Si or even the Ford Focus ST. The gear throws are long and the clutch has little weight to it, taking away the performance aspect of the GT that it should have. On the flip side, the light clutch works favourably in the urban environment. This setup makes being stuck in traffic bearable. Getting back to the gearbox, I really wanted to like the Dart more. I really did. So I concocted scenarios in my mind to figure out a way to not be so sad about its lack of panache. I think I found one. Buyers of the GT will like what they get for the value. After all, it has a starting MSRP of $21,995. That’s thousands less than the aforemen-
title. Instead of registering a vehicle in their name within 10 days after a purchase, as required, they leave it in the name of the previous owner. This keeps their name out of the chain of title and from being caught with a stolen vehicle or one that would not be able to be registered or insured for another reason.

additional $1,295 for this sun and sound package.) The sun portion of the package adds a power express open/close sunroof to the mix. After I switched into this mindset, I found I was able to alleviate my frustrations of what the GT didn’t have, but what it did have. Additionally, a feature that I love about the Dart – and all other Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler products – is the Uconnect media interface. The GT comes standard with the 8.4-inch touchscreen and is a dream to work with. Large icons, easy prompts and a no-fuss approach to pairing your handheld device to the Bluetooth system all come standard. Whether taking the GT for a drive in the city or on the open road, it does have some solid legs to stand on. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

woman. She asked if the car would fit a family of four. “Definitely!” I practically screamed. I was a wreck during this sale. I just needed to get rid of this car – fast. I told the nice lady the details of the car. Apart from being stolen, it was pretty nice! I told her I was in a hurry to visit my mum in the hospital. She was in a hurry too – her three-year-old was anxious, pulling at her pant legs. She seemed to not want to be there as much as me. Finally, she agreed to buy the car. Phew! I was saved. Whatever happens next, I don’t care. It’s her problem not mine. I quickly changed my phone number (again). Weeks later, I saw her on the news – with kid still at pant legs – talking to a reporter. Apparently, the car was towed away by the police. And yes, she was trying to find me. Had I covered my tracks? I agonized.

tioned competitors. And some buyers of vehicles who want that extra kick don’t necessarily need all the sports sedan-like characteristics. They want power but in a comfortable and affordable package. Furthermore, they enjoy added touches like a leatherwrapped heated steering wheel, GT specific sport leather seats, a Parkview rear backup camera and more. The interior has a pleasant look to it and it’s very agreeable to drive. On the highway, special attention from designers and engineers were paid to make sure you drive in a quiet cabin. Minimal road noise entered the GT’s cabin, allowing my passengers and I to enjoy the musical stylings of various bands being listened to on the Alpine premium stereo system with nine speakers (an

MARSEILLE, FRANCE – The mid-sized C-Class is the most popular and affordable Mercedes-Benz sedan and about 8.5 million of them have been produced, since it was originally introduced in 1993. Mercedes engineering typically operates on a seven-year “circle of life� production run and an all-new generation of C-Class will arrive in Canada, as a 2015 model year vehicle, this summer. In brief, it’s a bigger and better C-Class, however, real progress is in the details.
This C-Class is lighter, safer, comes with a choice of two more powerful (yet more fuel-efficient) new engines, uses even more advanced technologies, plus its body is more aerodynamic and, to my eyes, better looking. The South of France global launch location, even though I had to share it with over 800 other auto hacks, was another nice bonus - more later... There’s no pricing available at this time, but we do know the initial trim levels offered in Canada will be a C300 and a C400. A sporty AMG edition, called the C63, will also be added to the line in

at the wheel of a Mercedes. Both engines come with idle fuel saving start/stop systems and are mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission. The list of standard and available high-tech active safety features is simply amazing. It includes almost everything that’s available in the top-line S-Class, which is touted as the world’s safest car. Intelligent Drive is an optional suite of technologies that includes autonomous braking with pedestrian recognition, a lowspeed heavy traffic auto-pilot feature, active parking assist and a 360-degree camera setup with numerous views of immediate surroundings. Bordering on frivolous, there’s an Air-Balance in-car perfuming system ... to prolong that new-car Mercedes smell. Another one is a GPS-linked climate-control system tech feature that automatically switches it to “recirculation� mode when a C-Class is driven into a tunnel. The test drive actually did include a few tunnels and there are lots of them in and under Marseille. It’s the second largest city in France and its busiest port with numerous ferries to other Mediterranean destinations. Our drive route took us out of the city on a circular mostly rural route around the outskirts of Marseille and ended at the picturesque small harbor community of Cassis. A mountain drive along the Route des Cretes (Route of the Ridges) was spectacular. It’s a narrow, winding highelevation road with pull-offs at numerous view locations.

January 2015. Although not official, a diesel edition is also expected to be added in 2015. At this event Mercedes was also showing a Euro-destined hybrid-diesel edition. An optional (Airmatic) air suspension is offered for the first time in C-Class. It allows a driver to choose between Comfort, Eco, Sport, and Sport+ settings via an Agility Select switch on the console. The 4MATIC all-wheel drive system is, as before, the other major option. The C-class has classic reardrive vehicle proportions with a long hood (with a choice of two front grilles) and a short rear deck. It looks like a smaller version of the top-line, and redesigned last year, S-class, especially the new LED headlights and taillights. Compared to the current C-Class it’s longer, lower and wider and is now close in size to a 90s E-Class. Its extended wheelbase also helps create more interior space, especially for rear seat passengers. The big change under-hood is a four-cylinder turbocharged 2.0-litre, in the C300, that’s max rated at 235 horsepower and 273 lb-ft of torque. While it produces more power than the outgoing base V6, I found the initial power surge, when you push on the gas pedal, overly aggressive. In fairness, the North American edition will come with different throttle mapping. The twin-turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 in the C400, on the other hand, is a beauty. It can pump-out up to 329 horsepower and 354 lb-ft of torque. More importantly, it does so in a quieter, smoother and effortless fashion that most drivers expect when

Grand Cherokee: Rugged beauty is more than skin deep By Ian Harwood
The all-new 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee is a luxury sport ute that attracts a lot of attention. The body styling went through some major changes this year and is very different to the previous version. This vehicle is refined and more rounded. The first thing you notice is the new LED lighting that wraps around the HID headlamps, it gives it a very sophisticated and contemporary look. Jeep did not sacrifice its off road capabilities. Options are: Quadra-Trac 1 that features full time on demand fourwheel drive with single speed transfer case and equal torque split (50 front/50 rear) with brake control. Quadra-Trac 11, with a 2 speed transfer case with low range and variable torque distribution that delivers up to a 100 percent front or rear. Quadra-Lift air suspension that lifts four corners of the vehicle to provide the best in class ground clearance of 272 mm. The Summit model has a gorgeous interior, all the bells and whistles. Premium Nappa leather seats with heated/ vented 12 way power front seats. The steering wheel is heated and wrapped in leather with sections of wood. The instrument panel, doors, and centre console are also
leather stitched. The Power lift gate that can be controlled via the remote to make life easier loading and unloading cargo. With this model, you get the navigation screen complete
with a backup camera. There is also an optional rear seat DVD system. There is an optional stability control with anti-roll, hill start assist, trailer sway control. Front air bags with reactive
head rest restraints, and side curtain airbags. Forward collision warning system detects whether you are approaching another vehicle too rapidly and alerts you to take action. Parkview/ Park-sense Park
assist systems that help see what perhaps you would not see when backing up. Four engine choices here. The first is a 3.0L Ecodiesel V6 that an amazing 420 lb-ft of torque and 240 horsepower.
The second is a 3.6 L Pentastar VVT V6 that has been on the Ward’s 10 best engine list for three years. It delivers 290 horsepower and 260 lb-ft of torque. There is a 5.7L VVT V8 with 360 horsepower and 390
lb-ft of torque and delivers a surprisingly 9.9L/100 km on the highway. The last engine choice is the 6.4L HEMI V8 which is available on the SRT model. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

sublimely stable on the road. The switch to a full electronic assist rack and pinion steering system, called Direct Steer, is also flawless. There are fuel economy and active safety benefits. Inside the seating is typical Mercedes with easy to find power controls on the door panel. Generous in size, yet excellent support and a good range of adjustable elements didn’t give my weak back a reason to complain, even after many hours of driving. The restyled dash is an elegant and less fussy design, thanks mainly to a new Touchpad controller that eliminates a multitude of switches. It can recognise both single and multi-finger gestures, wiping movements, zoom finger gestures, even user handwriting. Overall, this C-Class is sure to please both purists and newcomers. Superbly engineered, technically sophisticated and pleasure to drive.

Ambulance service changes defended CHANGES from page 3 Several Metro Vancouver mayors say the service change amounts to downloading of costs by the province because firefighters who respond first end up waiting longer with patients, sometimes incurring more overtime as well. BCEHS maintains the changes are not a money-saving measure but are strictly to improve care by speeding response to those in most urgent need. And it contends municipalities could make smarter use of their own resources by redeploying firefighters to other services if they didn’t opt to dispatch them to routine calls where first responders aren’t medically required. Mike McNamara, president of the Surrey Firefighters Association, said firefighters fear fire halls won’t get dispatched to the calls deemed less urgent at all in the future, leaving patients to wait longer without aid. “One crew waited over 45 minutes for a lady that fell and broke her hip,” he said, recounting one recent incident of ambulance delay in Surrey.
emergency. We’re just minutes away from helping this person and we’re not going.” Dick said BCEHS is consulting cities on the changes and promised a further review of the results. He said there are no plans to exclude fire halls from low priority calls if the local city still wants its firefighters to respond to provide “comfort care” while awaiting an ambulance. “I will not arbitrarily cut anyone off,” Dick said. “I question the wisdom of spending a really expensive resource when it’s not required medically. But it’s not my decision to make.”
Of particular concern, he said, are cases when a panicked 911 caller gives unclear information that results in an ambulance being dispatched at low priority to a call that proves more urgent. “There is room for error there,” McNamara said. Because there are many more fire halls than ambulance stations, fire departments maintain they’re uniquely placed to act as first responders with quicker response times. “What happens when [dispatchers] get it wrong?” McNamara asked. “We’re just down the street and it’s a real

It’s a different world. All around us new technologies are changing the way we do things. Data streams into our lives in a multitude of different ways. We are expected to keep up or get left behind. Sometimes I long for those simpler days when snow on your T.V. screen or the party line telephone were the only annoyances technology gave us. Golf instruction has also seen tremendous change. The T he large golf manufacturers are now in the business of understanding golf swings. In truth, golf equipment manufacturers have always studied golf swings in order to improve their product. The T he difference is the golf swing knowledge and technologies that are now available. We, as golf instructors, now have a multitude of new tools in which to help our students. The Titleist Performance Institute is a research facility in California completely devoted to the task of understanding the golf swing and recommending ways to change your golf swing for the better. They have certification courses and a detailed manual which incorporates medical research, biomechanics, kinematic sequencing and the newest evaluation technologies. Their development of student physical evaluations (screening) and subsequent
corrective exercises is a huge leap in player development. The norm now is to evaluate your student for physical strength, stability and flexibility before initiating a lesson plan. Exercises, that can be done at home, may be recommended to help speed up the process of improving your golf swing. Video analysis is done to show students what problems they may have and to track progress of their golff swings. A kinematic swing vestt may be worn to give biomechanical feedback concerning swing sequencing and body positions. This hightech teaching aid is veryy exacting and will measure your swing efficiency on a computer monitor. The flight scope is a useful tool to show club head path, angles of attack and club face angles at impact. This tool also tracks ball flight and distance. This is great for a better understanding of what makes the ball curve and how to correct that. Our goal as teachers is to give our students the bestt tools available in order to advance their knowledge and ability to play golf. Everyone can use help with their golf swing. If the best players in the game benefit from coaching then so will you. Go see your favorite C.P.G.A. golf professional for some sound advice. Dick Whitlam is a senior instructor with the Chilliwack Golf Academyy located at the Chilliwack Golff Course. Dick has 30 years of expe-rience teaching golf to alll levels of students. He can be reached att 604-819-1141, chilliwack-golfacademy.com or att d.whitlam@live.com
The time for this weekend’s Pacific Coast Soccer League tryouts has changed.

Cultus competition An increasingly popular form of racing makes a stop in Cultus Lake later this month. TrailCross will hold an event April 26, open to men and women of all ages and skill levels. The course will cover trails around the lake, traversing a 1.33 kilometre loop that includes a variety of technical inclines and declines. Organizers call it a hybrid between a traditional trail race and a ski-cross race, with competitors battling through several heats. Top
competitors will eventually end up in a final showdown, but all runners are guaranteed at least three heats. Presented by New Balance, the TrailCross series debuted in Edmonton last summer. The Cultus Lake event is one of three planned for 2014, with the others taking place in Edmonton and London, Ontario. London natives Sean and John Sinclair founded TrailCross.

Bizarre schedule for 2014 Huskers
The British Columbia Football Conference (BCFC) released its 2014 schedule last Friday. For the third consecutive season the junior football league will run an unbalanced schedule, with the ‘top tier’ teams facing each other three times. The teams defined as ‘top tier’ include the defending BCFC champion Vancouver Island Raiders, Langley Rams and Okanagan Sun. The local Valley Huskers begin their 10 week regular season slate July 26, hosting the Sun at Exhibition Stadium. The team stays home the next two weeks, facing the Kamloops Broncos Aug. 2 and the Westshore Rebels Aug. 9. In a bizarre twist, the Huskers then hit the road for five straight away games against
Kamloops, Westshore, Vancouver Island, Langley and Kamloops. “Traveling to the Island twice is not going be fun,” said new head coach Adam Smith. “But sometimes I like away games better. There are no distractions and you can better prepare as the team has more time together before the game.” Smith’s crew doesn’t play another home game until Sept. 27, when the Rebels come back to town. The Huskers wrap up with a week 10 home game against Langley. General manager Moe Agagnier recognizes the difficulty of putting together a schedule that works for all of the teams in the six-team league. Still, he wishes the 2014 slate made more sense for his team. “An earlier schedule had teams playing each other three times in a row, which was unacceptable, and I agreed to this latest version to get away from that,” he said. “But this schedule will make it hard to acquire a fan base, and my goal was to try to get the community back to games.”
Huskers find CIS homes A pair of Valley Huskers have secured spots on CIS teams. Offensive lineman Reid McMorris used last year as a springboard to the University of Manitoba Bisons. The six-foot-six and 270 pound Abbotsford native was recognized for his solid on-the-field play and commitment to the team last season as the winner of the Husker Coach’s Award. Teammate Tanner
Borowicz is off to bigger things as well, signing on with the University of Calgary. The defensive end and soon-to-be Dino played three games in Chilliwack last season, recording four solo tackles and two assists.
www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1
The Huskers are one of three teams starting the year with a new coach. Brian Ridgeway is the new bench boss for the Raiders, taking over from legend Matt ‘Snoop’ Blokker.
The duo of Tom Fong and Andrew Axhorn take over as co-coaches in Westshore. Get more junior football information online at bcjuniorfootball.ca and Huskers info at valleyhuskers.org.

The NCAA men’s ice hockey championship tournament is down to four teams, with semi-finals scheduled for April 10. One game has the Minnesota Golden Gophers taking on the North Dakota Fighting Sioux. The Gophers are led by BCHL grads Connor, Ryan and Mike Reilly, all former Penticton Vees. North Dakota’s roster includes four ex-Vees in Wade Murphy, Brendan O’Donnell, Troy Stecher and Mark McMillan along with Mitch McMillan (Alberni Valley) and Adam Tambellini (Surrey). The other semi pits the Boston College Eagles against the Union College Dutchmen. The Dutchmen are led by ex-Powell River Kings Mat Bodie, Daniel Carr and Noah Henry along with Matt Hatch (Alberni Valley), Cody Ikkala (Vernon) and Charlie Vasaturo (Salmon Arm). The Eagles have Isaac MacLeod (Penticton), Evan Richardson (Powell River) and Destry Straight (Coquitlam).
