Chilliwack mourns the loss of Stan Rogers Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Many were in shock Thursday morning to learn Chilliwack entrepreneur and Legacy Pacific president Stan Rogers had died unexpectedly. He was 65. Son Cameron Rogers, on behalf of the Rogers family, told The Progress that, “they are saddened at the sudden and unexpected death of their father, Stan Rogers, on the evening of April 16. “It is understood at this time that it was likely a massive heart attack.” He had been contemplating retirement from a long career which will not be realized. Rogers leaves his wife, Anita, sons Cameron and Collin of Chilliwack, and daughter Gina from the area of Atlanta, Georgia. He had six grandchildren. Many in the community expressed their sympathies for the loss. “I’m thinking of his family at this time. It was a tremendous shock,” said Barry Penner, a former Chilliwack MLA and BC government cabinet minister. BC Liberal minister Rich Coleman spoke Thursday morning at the Thursday Rotary meeting and Stan Rogers, an active Rotarian, Continued: ROGERS/ p12

B.C. farmers and ranchers are expressing relief this week knowing their leadership is getting a chance to discuss how the Agriculture Land Reserve (ALR) might be threatened by Bill 24. BC Agriculture Council members will be sitting down with the Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick next Wednesday to talk about the proposed changes. “Nobody knows the importance and potential of ALR land more than B.C. farmers and ranchers,” said Stan Vander Waal, Chair of BC Agriculture Council, and

owner of Rainbow Greenhouses in Chilliwack. “I am pleased that Minister Letnick is choosing to acknowledge this expertise.” They’ll be asking the minister to either withdraw or amend the bill, as it poses “a threat to the sustainability of B.C. agriculture” in its current form, The Progress has learned. The definition of Zones 1 and 2, which include the Fraser Valley and everything outside the valley respectively, is one aspect of concern. “We feel the definitions are far too broad and do not protect areas with very good land from development pressure,” said Vander Waal.

Shifting the power to the regional panels has also raised a red flag. “We think that delegating all decision-making authority to the local panels could effectively create six Agricultural Land Reserves,” he stated. While having local input is critical, history has also shown that political and economic pressures locally can be waged to allow nonfarm use on ag land. “The panel can be significant in terms of its power and effectiveness to maintain good agricultural land.” In terms of the allowance of non-farm uses, the BCAC chair

said the question should be what the prime business is on that land, farm or non-farm based, and how will that be determined and monitored. “There are many situations in urban areas where a farm exists only to legitimize non-agricultural use. So we’re very glad to be sitting down with the minister next Wednesday to talk about this,” Vander Waal added. A steering committee to look at the Bill 24’s impacts, was struck jointly by the minister and BCAC. “We intend to suggest that if the government truly wants to protect farm land and the farm, it Continued: ALR/ p10

‘Housekeeping’ ends district financial support to CHHC Katie Bartel The Progress

Chilliwack school district has backed out of a $15,000 commitment to the Chilliwack Hospital and Health Care Foundation, a decision that has left at least one trustee wondering whether the board had the wool pulled over its eyes. A motion to rescind the school district’s financial support in the hiring of a coordinator for the Healthier Community Action Plan was unanimously passed at Tuesday’s board meeting, and was described by board chair Walt Krahn as simply a “housekeeping” matter. At the Oct. 23, 2012 board meeting, Donna Dixson, then director of community relations for the

Chilliwack Hospital and Health Care Foundation, presented to the board the foundation’s plans for implementing a new program aimed at encouraging children to live healthier lifestyles. The Sustainable Childhood Obesity Prevention through Community Engagement (SCOPE) program, developed by BC Children’s Hospital, is a healthcare message encouraging children to eat five or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily; limit screen time to two hours or less a day; participate in at least one hour of physical activity daily; and avoid sweetened beverages. In the presentation Dixson told the board the foundation already had a three-year financial commit-

ment, at $15,000 per year, from the City of Chilliwack to help fund the position of program coordinator. She also said the program would go ahead with or without the district’s support, but that it was an opportunity to get involved from the ground up. “There is unending community support for this,” she said at the meeting, “and this is your opportunity to be a part of it.” Despite strong opposition from trustees Heather Maahs and Silvia Dyck, who called the fast-tracked proposal “reprehensible” and “bad business,” the board passed a motion later that evening to match the City’s contribution of $15,000 for one year with the promise of reviewing it again the following year.

Said then board chair Louise Piper, this was an opportunity to “take a risk” and show leadership. However, months following the presentation the school district learned that the City hadn’t actually contributed to the project at all. Choosing his words carefully, Krahn, still a strong supporter of the program, told The Progress this week that he didn’t want to “put anybody under the bus.” “We provided the money because we were led to believe there was a matching grant from the City,” he said. “Since that motion was made, there have been a number of changes to both the council and the foundation. Because the landscape has changed slightly … we were not comfortable with the change in

focus.” Krahn said the school district requested the cheque back within three to four months of it being donated. Tuesday’s motion to rescind – 16 months after the donation was first approved – was to clear it off the books. “This in no way is a reflection on the work [the foundation] is doing; this was merely a housekeeping item,” said Krahn. For trustee Maahs, however, it was good riddance. “We are not in the business of being philanthropists – $15,000 from us to them made no sense to me.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Chilliwack library turns another new page Byelection hopeful fails to file

Katie Bartel The Progress

Walk into Chilliwack Library and the changes are instantly noticeable. No longer a claustrophobic information overload, the downtown library is now more akin to an open space retail bookshop. Complete with comfy seating and other aesthetically pleasing accents. “Before when you walked in, you were met by a wall,” said librarian Smitty Miller. “We’re really trying to make it more accessible … more inviting.” In the last year, Miller and her staff have transformed the library into a more welcoming space. “Unsightly” barriers at the front door, including the community bulletin board and self checkouts, have been removed and or relocated. A multi-leveled shelf, featuring new releases , has been added – with book fronts facing out rather than the old-school display of spines. And the cherry on top: Two café style chairs, separated by a coffee table in the shape of stacked books, strategically placed at the front entrance. The only thing missing is a cup of Joe. “This is what people want,” said Miller. “They want to be able to browse, they want suggestions, they want to be in and out. “It’s retail ad nauseam.” All signage, some of which used to be hand-written, has been replaced with the FVRL brand. New furniture was purchased from outlets that supply coffee and bookstore chains, rather than library suppliers. Tiered display tables offer suggestions of books, DVDs, magazines and more. There’s even a shelf of “grab-andgo” bags for the in-and-out customers.

The children’s section was brightened up with new furniture. A laptop bar was installed at the back of the library. The old study carrels were removed. And there’s plans to incorporate a meeting room in the future. It’s all in an effort of “taking customer service to the next level.” “We want the library to be such a good experience that people will want to keep coming back,” said Miller. “We can’t just sit and wait for people to come, not in the modern world, where there’s so much out there competing for attention. “I have a really easy product to sell because what I’m selling is

free. I just have to make it more inviting.” Chilliwack’s senior population must surely approve. A wheelchair and walker are now located at the front entrance; the information desk now has a chair for those needing to sit; a listening station has been installed; large print publications have been moved closer to the front desk; and a basket of reading glasses are also on hand for those weary eyes. Small but significant additions. “One lady told me she can now leave her walker in the car; she doesn’t have to fuss with it when she comes here,” said Miller.

“We’re very aware of the fact that our population is aging. The public library stands for access to all, and anytime we can make it more accessible to more of that all, then we’re doing our job.” If you haven’t been to the library lately, said Miller, you must. “This is not your granddaddy’s library anymore,” she said. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

A former school trustee candidate is facing a $500 fine and the risk of not being able to run in future elections. A report that came to city council this week cited Corey Neyrinck for failing to file his election expense disclosure statement within the 120 day timeline following the close of an election. Neyrinck ran in last November’s school trustee byelection. Financial reports needed to be received by March 31. The financial statement is a public document that shows how much candidates received in donations, and how much they spent on their campaign. As well, if the candidate has a balance of donated funds remaining following the election, the City holds onto those funds and if the candidate chooses to run in future elections, they will go towards their future campaigns. Even if a candidate doesn’t spend any money on their campaign, they are still required to file an election expense disclosure statement, said city officials. Neyrinck has until April 31 to file his financial statement with the $500 late-fee penalty. If he still fails to do so, he will not be eligible to run in any of the next local elections. The Progress attempted to contact Neyrinck for comment through phone and email but did not receive response. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Road rehabilitation in Chilliwack explained Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Ever wondered how City of Chilliwack decides which roads get paved every year? Wonder no more. The question was answered in council chambers this week. They use a “worst first” system, so that roads in the worst condition get repaved first, according to Rod Sanderson, manager of transportation and drainage. He was responding to a question from Coun. Ken Huttema at the Tuesday council meeting, about how the city determines which roads are chosen. Those on the list to be repaved in 2014 include: McGuire, Grand View, Spadina, Keith Wilson, Knight, Yale and Chilliwack Lake Road.

Huttema asked why Keith Wilson is on the list this year, but not Boundary Road, which is also an arterial road in need. Sanderson explained the many factors that could be at play, such as utilities under the road causing delays or extra costs, in the case of a water main that’s about to be replaced, in which case they’ll patch it until they can repave it. Council awarded the tender for 2014 Asphalt Rehabilitation and Shoulder Paving to Keywest Asphalt for $1.234 million. That covers only the “tender base” section of the wider $2.7 million road rehabilitation budget for 2014. The rehab system also divides Chilliwack roads into class categories. They are classified as local, collector or arterial, to ensure the less-travelled

40%

local roads do get some attention. Coun. Jason Lum asked if it was true the paving budget would see “a bit of an increase” this year. Staff acknowledged it had increased roughly 10 per cent over last year’s. An additional $250,000 is allocated, according to city staff. The city’s 10-year financial plan shows the paving budget for 2013 was $2.475 million, which was increased to $2.725 for 2014. That larger total includes the “tender base” roads to be repaved, as well provisional projects. “Hopefully that will move the standard up a bit,” concluded Coun. Lum at the council meeting. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Business opponents of Multi Material BC are planning a court challenge to reverse the takeover of B.C.’s curbside recycling system by the stewardship agency. They continue to urge the provincial government to freeze the new MMBC system before it takes effect May 19, but are also laying the groundwork for a legal battle. Kelvin McCulloch, CEO of the Buckerfield’s chain of farm supply stores, is urging other businesses to sign and submit their MMBC contract but then give notice to the government that they won’t pay fees or other wise cooperate with the new system to collect packaging and printed paper. McCulloch intends to gather opt-out letters from numerous businesses across B.C. and deliver them to the province. If the MMBC rollout continues, he said, they will argue in court that the MMBC contracts were invalid and they were coerced to join the gover nment-created recycling monopoly. “We’re fairly confident at this point it will be struck down,” McCulloch said. “No company in their right mind would sign that contract of their own free will.” The province contends MMBC is voluntary and various industries could instead form their own separate waste-collecting organization. That option is not practical or reasonable, McCulloch said. “The suggestion that we are able to launch or own stewardship program independent of MMBC is a sham.” The MMBC program aims to transfer recycling costs from municipal taxpayers to the producers who generate packaging and printed paper, while collecting more containers and material types than before. But many businesses argue they’re unfairly compelled to pay far higher fees than a similar system run in

Ontario. Critics say MMBC’s three-member interim board is controlled by executives with multinational firms like Unilever and Proctor and Gamble who have manipulated the launch

R AESIDE

To call him a community builder would be an understatement. There was hardly an event, hardly a fund raiser, hardly a function that Stan Rogers – and the company he led – wasn’t part of. Rogers died suddenly Wednesday night, struck down by a possible heart attack. His death leaves a hole in Chilliwack, not only in the business community, but also in the myriad of philanthropic projects he was involved with. Rogers is perhaps best known for what he did to help Chilliwack’s flagging economy in the late 90s. In the shadow of the departure of several food processing facilities, his company – Legacy Pacific – stanched the bleeding, opening its sprawling warehouse facility, then securing construction of the Rogers flour mill a few years later. He was on the verge of bringing to Chilliwack one of the largest freeze dried processing facilities in Canada when the global economic meltdown occurred in 2008. Bowed but not beaten, he continued work to develop industrial properties in Chilliwack, bringing jobs and economic benefit to the city. He wasn’t shy to say Legacy Pacific was the single largest taxpayer in the city. It wasn’t a complaint (although he did explore creative ways to lessen that sting), but rather a proud testament to the economic importance his company was to Chilliwack. But it wasn’t just the business side of things that Rogers was passionate about. He was a proud and active Rotarian, and lent his expertise to several community boards and non-profit societies. Even in difficult times his company could be counted on to support the many fundraising events that punctuate the Chilliwack calendar. He was an unapologetic federal Liberal supporter in a traditionally Conservative region. But it wasn’t the political stripe that was most important, but rather the participation in the process. Democracy, he said, was not a spectator sport. And neither was being a member of the community. As busy as Rogers was (Blackberry always by his side), he seemed never too busy to be part of making Chilliwack stronger. Because that’s what a community builder does. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Extinguishing the European fire ant invasion As an aggressive invasive species, European fire ants are a serious nuisance on many fronts. They swarm and deliver a painful sting that, while not lifethreatening, burns then itches for days and can trigger swelling or a possible allergic reaction. They colonize in multiple nest densities in a process called “budding” in which new nests are established close to each other in a very small area (maybe a single square metre) and each colony has multiple queens. They like warm, moist conditions and favour urban areas, lawns, and city parks where they capitalize on ground heat and dampness from lawn irrigation. Given their nest densities, they are extremely hard to get rid of, resist pesticides, and render infested grassy areas unusable by the public and pets. According to the Invasive

Species Council of B.C., European fire ants are among the 100 world’s worst invasive species and they are emerging in alarming numbers in mild, damp coastal regions of the province. They have been found in Vancouver, North Vancouver, B u r n a b y , R i c h m o n d , Victoria, and Margaret Cour tenay and they have been EVANS confirmed in Chilliwack. While, according to the SCBC, they were confirmed in B.C. in 2010, they have likely been here for a decade and known populations have doubled in the past year or two. These ants are native to Europe and Asia and were brought to

North America, specifically the Boston area, around 1900. They were reported in Quebec in 1915 then about 40 years ago expanded their range to Ontario. Like many invasive animals, these insects become dominant in the areas they invade. They displace native ants that are valued for their ecological usefulness such as seed dispersal, pollination, and as part of the food chain. Fire ants protect destructive aphids as the insects like the honeydew the aphids produce. They are capable of actually farming aphids and the carbohydrates in the honeydew they consume provide greater growth of the ants and their colonies, increasing competitive performance and allowing them to out-forage native ants. Where there are high densities of fire ants, there are high densities of aphids which themselves are a serious pest for

many horticulturalists. “These ants have been in B.C. at least 10-15 years,” said Dr. Robert Higgins, Biological Sciences, Thompson Rivers University in Williams Lake. “They are very problematic for young children. The presence of these ants makes it impossible for young children to play on the lawn. Lawn maintenance can be difficult. We had one incident several years ago in Vancouver when a man had to abandon his lawn mower when cutting the grass.” Higgins said that the ants are also an issue for dogs when playing on the lawn or being walked in parks. Subsequent swellings from stings were at first treated as infections and administered antibiotics instead of anti-inflammatories. Given how difficult it is to eliminate fire ants, Higgins is researching control methods.

“We need to look at control options,” he said. “We have taken advantage of the lessons learned elsewhere. We know that pesticides do not work. We are looking at baiting with a container to lure in whole colonies. Then we can destroy the ants.” There is an urgent need to get ahead of this pest. Our mild, damp climate creates perfect conditions for this ant to get firmly established. They can then be easily spread by the movement of contaminated soil, mulch, or potted plants between gardens, community plots, parks, or nurseries. Given the problems these ants present, Higgins is optimistic that more research funding will be made available from the provincial government this year. If you suspect you have these small, red, twin-waisted ants on your property, call Dr. Higgins for advice at 1-250-392-8106.

Time running out to heed the science This past weekend the world’s top climate scientists at the IPCC (Intergover nmental Panel on Climate Change) issued a report that emphasizes we must cut back on the burning of coal, oil and natural gas right away to avoid a terrible future for all children, including ours. This means reducing by 50 per cent by 2030 (and to zero by 2100), the removal of coal, bitumen, oil, gas and peat from the ground. If the scientists sound strident it is

because they are genuinely scared. Last year, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere exceeded 400 parts per million. The last time carbon dioxide levels were this high, the oceans were 25 metres higher, the planet two to three degrees Celsius warmer. Downtown Chilliwack is 10 metres above sea level (but the sea won’t reach us in our lifetime). Solar and wind power have come down enormously in price so that it

is estimated in the report that rapid reductions in fossil fuel use and transition to renewables would affect the global growth in the economy by only about 0.04 to 0.14 per cent, per year (still leaving over 1.5 per cent, per year). Our provincial government is pushing as hard as it can to develop natural gas, and then use vast amounts of energy to liquefy it for export. Our federal government is pushing to develop and export the large bitumen

deposit in Alberta (tar sands), which generates a huge amount of carbon dioxide for the amount of useful energy we get out. Even Chilliwack is to get an expanded Kinder Morgan pipeline though the city, carrying diluted bitumen. This month the provincial government just dropped an incentive to buy clean electric cars. Am I the only one left wondering, when and why we started devaluing scientific findings? Tim Cooper

Strahl needs to focus on Canadian priorities Canada is currently participating in several international situations that hold great meaning for the lives of our citizens. Yet, MP Mark Strahl continues to avoid these issues to focus on minor concerns. He seems to be current with comments in our local paper. His letter to The Progress, “Electoral changes for the best: Strahl,” seems clear and to the point. Why can’t we expect the same level of detail and clarity on the federal issues that we all know are happening internationally. We were discussing local marijuana grow-ops when NATO decided Canada should drop 8,000 bombs on Libyan civilians as well as military targets. The discussion of “crime in local streets” got top billing while Canada was supplying weapons and funding the Free Syrian Army, made up partially of members of Al Qaeda. Canada negotiated a European Free

Trade Agreement and we heard that it might hurt Canadian cattle farmers, but it definitely would not harm the Canadian cheese industry, but we got nothing from our elected federal rep. Currently Canada and the U.S. are trying to negotiate the Trans Pacific Partnership (TPP). This is a free trade agreement with the sweatshop-laden countries on the far side of the Pacific. The bits and pieces we hear in the mainstream media hype it as great for Canadian business opportunities. As with the North American Free Trade Agreement(NAFTA), we can expect that this deal will move Canadian jobs to oppressed workers in areas where civil rights and decent living conditions don’t matter as much as they do in Canada. Rather than boosting our economy, this pact will provide financial opportunities for the very wealthy, and at the same time lower

our standard of living while further eroding Canadian sovereignty. Canadian diplomats now sit in on discussions that could easily see our country drawn into World War III. The European Union, backed by all Western powers, took over the Ukraine. Russia moved in and protected its military bases and oil supply pipelines. A tense situation, yes; Canada’s business, no. But a war in this situation would be a great solution for the galactic financial problems threatening the stability of USA. In Afghanistan, Canada fought at the side of the U.S. for over 12 years, at a cost of over 150 Canadian lives and over $20 Billion. And, I still can’t find a Canadian who can give a reason we had to do this. Now, as Canadians barely have time to understand that we are no longer fighting in any international war, do we really want to get involved in the Ukraine? In his letter to the

editor, Mark Strahl talks of “basic rights of Canadians.” A basic Canadian right is that our government does the will of the people. Mr. Strahl acts like he doesn’t want our opinion. He is not available for comment. He doesn’t answer his emails on these topics, and he tries to distract his voters from the meaty issues that Canadians should be discussing. Please, Mr. Strahl, answer this letter and give us compelling reasons why we need to participate in the war in Syria, the Euro Free Trade Deal, and the Trans Pacific Partnership. And for goodness’ sake, Canadians are tired of endless wars. Urge your colleagues, our elected representatives, to find a diplomatic solution for the problems in those countries so far from our homes here in Chilliwack.

Better Beginnings

Early Years

ers h t o Supp orting New M When Julie found out she was expecting she felt scared and uncertain. The doctor at the walk-in clinic suggested she register for Better Beginnings, a weekly support program for pregnant mothers to grow a healthy baby through education and support around nutrition, healthy lifestyle and infant care. Julie loved the warm and friendly environment, and appreciated the healthy food, free prenatal vitamins, weekly food vouchers and monthly bags of fresh fruits and vegetables. Through Better Beginnings, Julie made many new friends and connections to other supports in the community. “The program taught me to trust my instincts and feel more confident as a person and a parent,” says Julie. Better Beginnings is a year round program supporting new mothers. Initially designed as a prenatal support group, a 6-month postpartum component is included for women who register during their pregnancy. Better Beginnings is funded through the Canada Prenatal Nutrition Program by the Public Health Agency of Canada.

Rogers remembered ROGERS from Front had been instrumental in getting him there, Penner said. He has always served the community and was active in politics. “He was passionate about public life and democracy,” Penner said. “Stan could never understand someone who didn’t vote.” Stan Rogers was born to Alfred and Pauline Rogers in 1948 in Armstrong, B.C., the youngest of three children. The Rogers family purchased a flour mill in 1951 which became A.J. Rogers Wholesome Foods. Twenty years later Stan Rogers took over to become president of the family business after graduating. Under his leadership, sales grew from $40,000 per year in 1971 to $15 million per year in 1989. In 1989 Rogers Foods was sold to Nisshin Flour Milling of Japan. He built Rogers Foods into a 100-employee export company before moving to the Fraser Valley where he went into real estate development. With residential developments in Abbotsford and business parks in Chilliwack, he “enjoyed building communities for people to live and work in,” according to his son. Rogers may be best remembered for the wholesale transformation of what was known as The Berry Lands on South Sumas at Unsworth. In 1995, a vegetable processing plant on that spot became available. Pillsbury/Fraser Valley Foods had closed down. The site was sprawling with 160,000 sq. ft. of buildings and about 50 acres of vacant farm land. Rogers saw a unique opportunity — to repurpose the buildings for large-scale industrial clients and eventually the Legacy Pacific Land Corporation was born. It was a new concept for Chilliwack as no large industrial space was available in the area. “He had a clear vision for transforming that property,” said Penner. “There may have been those who were skeptical, but he was certainly determined and had enormous perseverance.” Former Chilliwack Mayor Clint Hames said he was shocked and saddened by the news of Rogers’ death. “It was interesting that Stan named his company Legacy Pacific because he certainly did create a legacy of industrial development and job creation.” He worked closely with Rogers during his tenure at city hall, and remembers his role in bringing Rogers Foods to Chilliwack. “It was very fitting. He was the kind of person who was driven to seek out opportunities that would bring jobs and economic activity to our community,” Hames said.

save money for the general taxpayer,” he said. Klassen argues consumers will pay twice – their local taxes won’t go down but they’ll also pay higher retail prices as businesses pass along the MMBC charges. He said most mayors and councils are being cautious and aren’t spending MMBC savings until they actually arrive – meaning there’s still opportunity to freeze the rollout. “That suggests to me they’re also very wary of the program and have a fallback program in case things don’t work,” Klassen said. “The world doesn’t all of a sudden turn upside down if we pause this program and take some time to reflect on how to do this well.” Small businesses with single storefronts have been exempted by the province from MMBC’s requirements. But Klassen said franchisees don’t qualify, leaving hundreds of small businesses like meat shops and Subway sandwich outlets facing hefty costs.

TEETH-IN-AN-HOUR™ TEETH-IN-AN-HOUR™ is a revolutionary concept providing patients with fully functioning teeth on dental implants in one single procedure that lasts about an hour. This technology was recently developed by Nobel Biocare and allows for collaboration between both the restorative doctor and the surgeon. This merging of knowledge and experience achieves not only increased safety, but also a more precise implant placement. In addition, the fabrication of a final prosthesis is completed prior to the surgery. The computerguided implant surgery is done in an arthroscopic fashion without requiring any flap reflection. This benefits the patient in that there is less postoperative discomfort, less swelling and less bruising. Patients can often resume their normal activities the next day. The process starts when a CAT scan is taken of the patient’s jawbone. This CAT scan allows for the generation of a three-dimensional model of the jawbone that can then be used in virtual reality software to plan the implant placement without the presence of the patient. The results are more accurate implant placement, and less chair time for the patient at the surgery office.

Welcome to the the driver’s seat

There’s no better time than now to embrace your inner motorcyclist and have the time of your life. Alexandra Straub

You don’t have to start on the road Many of the top road racers in the world didn’t start on the pavement. They started in the dirt. Why? Because it teaches you how to control a bike in less than ideal traction environments. Also, if you fall, it doesn’t hurt as much! You can certainly get your feet wet when it comes to learning clutch and brake control on a “softer” surface, too. Furthermore, you don’t need a learner’s permit if you are riding off road. When and if you want to transition to the street riding, you’ll need it for that. Check out Popkum Motor Park’s Lessons/Training (www.popkummotorpark.com) program for all ages, as well as the BC Off Road Motorcycle Association’s website (www.bcorma.ca) for upcoming MSF Dirt Bike Schools. Another perk to starting to build your bike confidence on the dirt, training programs aren’t as expensive. So, this is me, the little white angel on your shoulder whispering, “Go on, get on two wheels!” But remember, safety is paramount. Take the test, go to school and thank me later. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel competes on performance at a price

’’

Zack Spencer

The introduction of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee showcased the direction of the new Fiat-Chrysler partnership. It went on to win more awards that any other SUV; in fact, I chose it as one of my favourite vehicles that year. Sales have been strong for not only Jeep but the entire Chrysler group. Freshness has been into each new vehicle and this latest 2014 EcoDiesel version is another example. For this model year, the Grand Cherokee gets a refreshed front and rear, plus interior tweaks and a thrifty diesel under the hood. Looks: The most noticeable updates for 2014 include a thinner front grille, narrower front headlights with LED accents. This really makes the latest model pop; especially when you com-

tion of an all-new 3.0-litre direct inject turbocharged V6 diesel engine along with an 8-speed automatic. With 420 lb.-ft. of torque, this engine just rockets away from a light and cruises effortlessly on the highway. There is a big premium to get this engine over a V6, or lower trim level V8 gasoline versions, but there are some compelling reasons to choose it. Fuel economy is number one. This heavy truck is rated at 9.8 L/100km in the city and only 7.0L on the highway. With aggressive driving and mostly city, I averaged 12L. I did notice on highway runs that the fuel economy Offers valid until April 30, 2014. See toyota.ca for complete details on all cash back offers.

The already capable and luxurious gasoline versions are less expensive and come with all the regular Grand Cherokee goodness.

pare it to the last model. The EcoDiesel option is only available in two trim levels, and this an expensive vehicle. The Overland is the cheapest diesel and it starts at roughly $58,000, $3000 more than a V6 model but the same price as the V8. The top of range Summit diesel starts at $62,000. In comparison, the base VW Touareg diesel starts at $55,000 but most of the other German mid-sized SUVs with a diesel, like the ML from Mercedes or the X5 from BMW also start in the low $60,000 range. Inside: One of the biggest changes at Chrysler has been the attention to detail now placed on interior design and refinement. The latest U-connect computer interface is one of the best in the business; many highend makers could learn a thing or two from Chrysler. The large 8.4-inch screen is one of the biggest on the market and it is very quick to the touch, going from one function to the next is logical and responsive. Pairing a smartphone takes under 30 seconds and the best feature is the map screen, which enables the embedding of a picture in the same way as picture-inpicture TV does. The dash is covered in stitched leather and the cabin overall is simple and elegant. All EcoDiesel models come with leather seats and the back seats can even be heated. Drive: The biggest change for 2014 is the introduc-

Touareg. It is a very nice truck with as much diesel power and efficiency as the competition but the German brands have been at the whole diesel thing a lot longer and are a known entity in the market. The Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel would be a very easy choice if it were about $50,000, not $58,000. If you drive a lot or tow, the diesel might be worth it, but as it stands now the already capable and luxurious gasoline versions are less expensive and come with all the regular Grand Cherokee goodness. zack.spencer@drivewaybc

improved radically and quickly. The towing capacity of the EcoDiesel is the same as the 5.7-litre Hemi V8 at 7200 lbs, but this truck gets substantially better fuel economy. For those that drive a lot without a trailer, the improvement in fuel economy is something to factor in. If you don’t drive a lot each year, the diesel option might not be worth the added cost. Verdict: Chrysler considers the Jeep Grand Cherokee a premium offering but I would not put this on a par with the Mercedes ML, BMW X5, Audi Q5 or a very nicely equipped VW

driveway lower speed and firms up at higher speed. This vehicle gets you around town but the fourcylinder engine just doesn’t have enough power on the

highway. I found myself constantly pushing the gas pedal to the floor just to keep up with traffic. Perhaps it is the CVT transmission but I would like to see

a V6 option for this vehicle. Interestingly, the windshield wipers are noteworthy but not for a good reason. It was raining one day during my test drive and as I

stopped at a light I felt the car sway back and forth with the wipers, I quickly dismissed it for a big truck driving by but it was at every stop. I turned them

on fully and the car rocked back and forth with every swipe. I have heard about soft suspension but really? If it is a small crossover vehicle you are looking

The Nissan Rogue compact crossover has been substantially updated since its appearance in 2008. The current design is very similar to the Murano but on a smaller scale. It has a sleek profile and features a rolled back front grille, large moulded LED headlights and the roof rails combined with the rear spoiler give it a very sporty look. There are three trim levels, S, SV, and SL. The base S comes standard with 17inch steel wheels, EZ Flex seating system, cruise control, a tilt steering wheel, air-conditioning, full power accessories, keyless entry and a four-speaker audio system with a CD player and a USB connection for a cell phone. The SV model adds 17-inch aluminum wheels, power panoramic moonroof, heated front seats and a six-way power adjustable driver’s seat with power lumbar support. The SL trim level starts with the SV model’s standard equipment and adds 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, dual zone automatic temperature control, auto dimming inside rearview mirror. The SL’s leather package includes heated front seats, a leather wrapped steering wheel and shift knob, heated side mirrors, a six-way power driver seat, plus a one touch up/down driver window. The SL premium package includes a seven-inch color touch screen monitor for navigation, eight-speaker Bose audio systems with a six-CD/MP3 changer, Sirius satellite radio ready, steering wheel mounted audio controls and ND Richbass sub-woofer. This package also give you a Power liftgate and an around view monitor. There are dual stage front driver and passenger airbags with seat belt sensors, roof mounted curtain side-impact airbags. The vehicle is also equipped with 4-wheel ABS and traction control systems, rollover sensor, anti theft with immobilizer key systems.

Sub-compact with big sedan pretensions Mazda’s first foray into the Canadian sub-compact market segment was the 2011 Mazda2, an inexpensive little car that exceeds the quality expectations of most buyers.

It was launched in Europe, Japan and Australia in 2007 and won 48 automotive awards, including “2008 World Car of the Year”, prior to its arrival in Canada. Mazda2 comes in just one

body style, a four-door hatchback. Considering it’s diminutive proportions, that’s a lot of doors and “easy access” is big part of this small cars’ charm. The trim lines offered were GX,

GS, and a top-priced Yozora edition, which was not sold in the US and limited to 500 units in Canada. The GS trim upgrade includes air conditioning, automatic headlamps, cruise

control, rain-sensing wipers, keyless entry, trip computer, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, cloth door trim, sport-style cloth seats with red piping, body-colour door handles

and mirrors, chrome tailpipe finisher, side sill extensions, body-colour rear spoiler, exterior temperature gauge, fog lights, silver finish interior accents, and six speakers.

‘‘

Cleverly crafted automobile with a unique body design infused with Mazda’s ‘fun to drive’ engineering philosophy.

Bob McHugh

’’

The Yozora, which means “night sky” in Japanese, is actually a GX trim with air conditioning and a convenience package. Unique theme additions include its black exterior finish with decals, a spoiler, a chrome tailpipe, floor mats and 16-inch alloy wheels with performance tires. The Yozora package also came with a spare set of winter tires mounted on 15-inch steel wheels. Power is provided by a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine linked to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic transmission. The small gas engine’s 100-horspower output may sound meek, however, it can move the light-weight Mazda2 surprisingly quick. It’s a silky, smooth free-revving little engine that also sounds a nice sporty rasp from its exhaust at high engine speeds. While there’s nothing wrong with the four-speed automatic transmission, there is a noticeable decrease in overall performance, plus an increase in fuel consumption. Driver sight lines in the Mazda2 are particularly impressive. Its big side mirrors are more visible due to a lowered window belt line at the A-pillar and the low-cut design of the rear window also aids rear vision when backing-up. In addition, Mazda uses overlapping shingle-style rear seat head restraints to allow the driver an unobstructed view out the extra large rear window. The Mazda2 was unchanged for 2012, except for a minor improvement in fuel efficiency with the four-speed automatic transmission and the deletion of the Yozora edition. The 2013 edition came with a new USB audio input as standard equipment, but otherwise there were no significant changes. Not just another fuelefficient little commuter car, Mazda2 is a cleverly crafted automobile with a unique body design infused with Mazda’s “fun to drive” engineering philosophy.

Navigating ‘the journey forward’ When we are exposed to trauma through the sudden, accidental or traumatic death of a loved one, or witness the suffering and hardship of others, we are affected. When a sudden death occurs, friends and family members have no opportunity to prepare for the death. As one expert said, “When someone dies, it is natural to mourn their loss –

Fortunately, he was in such a hurry that he didn’t make me do the transfer – so it was still in his name. No big deal. Bridging* was my friend. I just used his name and hoped my buyer would never ask me for ID. And I was right. The buyer smelled a bargain and took the bait like fish. He thought I was the fool! No lien check, no ID check. Just cash. I was home free, again. And the best part? When the bailiff came for the motorcycle, he didn’t even know my name.

Confessions of a Curber I guess you could say I was addicted. Only my drug of choice wasn’t coke or meth. No - it was the thrill of getting away with it all. And the easy cash, of course. Throwing the camper into that last deal was a great marketing idea. And, like last time, I decided to branch out again. There’s so much more than just cars! This time I decided to go with a motorcycle. I purchased it off the internet – I guess you could call it a curber-to-curber transaction. Oh, of course I knew every trick in the book by now. The seller gave me my old story and said that he was the real owner. Did I care? Not a chance. It was a nice Harley. And, it was a steal. I knew I could flip it for more. Why? Because I was a better marketer. But I needed to do it fast. And, I had to make sure I had a buyer that was naive enough not to do a lien check through carproof.com, or the province (bcregistryservices. gov.bc.ca). As usual, I put up a generic, one-line Craigslist ad. With a price like mine, I had a buyer within an hour. I made sure the Harley looked its best.

This two-day forum will feature workshops about complications in bereavement after tragic death and strategies to restore resilience and self care for survivors and the professionals who provide care for them. Survivors of a tragic death are left trying to understand the (often) violent way the person died. In the words of one

survivor, “We become detectives, searching for clues to help us make sense of the unimaginable.” Joan Noel, founder and co-facilitator of the Chilliwack Hospice Society Suicide and Homicide Bereavement Support Group. On July 3, 2009, Noel’s 29-year-old twin son Dylan took his own life. After her son died she had many unanswered questions. “Suicide is such a hush-hush subject; no one wants to talk about it. It is the most horrific thing I have ever had to deal with. I knew I needed to talk to someone.” The closest support group she could find was in Surrey at Valley View Funeral Home. “I learned so much from this support group,” she says, but felt there was a need for a group like that in Chilliwack. In 2012, she approached the Chilliwack Hospice Society with the idea of forming a Suicide Bereavement Support Group. The Chilliwack Hospice Society, which provides a number of grief support programs for adults, children and teens, offered to be the host organization for the group. After completion of a 40-hour volunteer training course, Noel along with CHS Director of Programs, Lucy Fraser, and volunteer, Mari Okazaki, have facilitated two groups in the last year and will be one of the speakers at the upcoming forum. “I don’t think I will ever get over this loss, but sharing my story with others who have lost the same way has helped me to deal with it,” Noel says. Clinical social worker and certified traumatologist, Fanny Correa, who specializes in traumatic grief after sudden violent death will be the featured keynote speaker. Since 2007, she has served as the clinical director of separation and loss services of the Virginia Mason Medical Center, and is currently the program director for the King County Crime Victim Service Center in Seattle, Washington.

Chilliwack’s ‘gem’ of a park needs volunteers Katie Bartel The Progress

They do it for the love of gardening. Every Tuesday a group of volunteers show up at Gwynne Vaughn Park, rain or shine, sleeves rolled up, ready to get their hands dirty for two hours. “I just like getting my fingers dirty,” said Marlene Williams, a smile beaming on the 79-year-old’s face as she rakes up leaves in the

six-acre park. Not even rain falling from above could wipe her toothy grin away. Williams, an old acquaintance of “Gwynnie” Vaughan, has been volunteering at the park for nearly as long as it’s been open to the public. “Just being here, seeing everything grow, the different seasons the changes, I love it all,” she said, giving the park a big, giddy thumbs up. “Every time I come down here, every week, there’s something new growing, some-

thing different to see. It is such a joyous place to be.” Gwynne Vaughan Park is a Chilliwack gem. Located on the corner of Williams Road and Hope River Road, it was willed to the city in 1993 by Chilliwack pioneer Gwynne Vaughan, an avid gardener, who grew up on the property and spent most her days there. Today, the park consists of more than six acres of lawns, gardens and paths, all surrounding the

Created by Julie-anne Saroyan; artistic producer of energetic and innovative Vancouver-based dance group MovEnt, Dances for a Small Stage is a show defined by its invigorating, fresh, and uplifting new approach to presenting dance. Breaking down the traditional barriers between audience, stage, and performer, this show focuses on creating an intimate cabaret-style atmosphere, detached from the rules of the concert hall. Karissa Barry, co-curator, choreographer and performer of Dances for a Small Stage tells us how much audiences enjoy this structure. “The atmosphere is very casual, and we can always tell from on stage that the audience are having a great time. They can sit back with a drink and relax, and it’s just so different from being in a normal theatre setting where you have that fourth wall separating crowd and performer. Dances for a Small Stage breaks that barrier down, making the whole experience so much more inviting and enjoyable.” Karissa’s fellow performer and up-and-coming Vancouver

choreographer Thoenn Glover agrees that the show’s atmosphere is as integral as the art itself! “We’re not trying to create really conceptual and abstract work that people can’t relate to: we want to present dance in an approachable way. So with Dances for a Small Stage you have this evening where you don’t just go to the theatre, sit down, watch a show, and leave again. It’s so much more vibrant and social than that, which

incredible diversity flourishing in the contemporary arts community. With both Thoenn and Karissa premiering new works, original soundtracks provided by fantastic live musicians and performances by some of Vancouver’s most exciting young artists, Dances for a Small Stage isn’t just dance with a twist, but an inspiring and engaging showcase of some of British Columbia’s thriving artistic talent.

really opens the show up for a whole new audience experience.”

So with its cool cabaret setting, eclectic programme, and brand new creative energy, this show is the perfect opportunity to experience dance in a way you surely have not before, and try a night out with a whole new flavour! If you’ve been nervous in the past about taking a bite out of a live dance experience, make sure to enjoy this opportunity to get a taste of what’s out there. What are you waiting for? Pick up your tickets today! Call the Centre Box Office at 604-391-SHOW(7469) or visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca to book tickets.

Dances for a Small Stage is all about shaking things up, and the show’s originality and appeal also shines through in its structure. With the show being made of 6-8 short segments, including a run-down of the programme by Julie-anne, as well as short film showings, Dances for a Small Stage provides an opportunity to not just sample bite-sized chunks of culture, but to get a taste of the

News Suspects sought in break-in RCMP are looking for at least two people suspected of breaking into a Lindeman Street house early Tuesday morning. A resident of the neighborhood was out and about around 2:30 a.m. and spotted a parked green SUV that looked suspicious. The resident marched up to the SUV and talked to the people inside, telling them police had been called. They immediately took off, hitting the resident’s car as they left. After police arrived, they found that a house had been broken into and various items were stolen. One of the suspects in the green SUV has been described as a caucasian male, around six feet tall and 225 pounds. Anyone with info is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers (anonymously) at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

PARK from 27 “I didn’t know a soul when I moved here, but now, these are all my friends,” she said swiping her arm in a semi circle to encompass all the day’s volunteers located throughout the park. “I love it here, it’s a beautiful park, it’s a sense of belonging.” For many, the dirty work keeps them young at heart. Retired principal Bob Long’s eyes brighten at the mention of the ride-on lawnmower. “It’s not a lawnmower, for me, it’s a tractor,” he said, not able to contain a boyish giggle.

But the thing is, they’re not young. Long, the “baby” of the group is 61. The average age hovers in the 70s. “I’m the grunt guy,” he laughed. With the annual plant sale, a beloved social event, coming up in June, the group is hoping to attract more volunteers in the coming days. There’s always work to be done. “The trouble is, so many of us are getting on in age, some are well into their 70s,” said Thorkelson. “We could do with some younger people.” The group currently has eight to 10 regular volunteers,

An early riser, Cameron is usually the first on the grounds. “I just like puttering around,” she said. “This place is absolutely wonderful, you’re out in the fresh air, it becomes very personal.” For many, it’s about doing something beyond themselves. “When you retire, you can’t just do stuff for yourself all the time,” said Long. “I like the

The Chilliwack Chiefs hope hockey bloodlines run deep in the Esposito family, with Mark Esposito signing on this week. The younger brother of former Chief Luke Esposito, Mark differs from his sibling in a significant way. Where Luke played forward, and finished fourth in league scoring during the 2012-13 season (55-17-54-71), his brother is a defenceman who spends far more time keeping the puck out of his own net. “The defense core was a major area we wanted to improve for next season and the signing of Mark is part of that process,” said new Chiefs head coach and general manager Jason Tatarnic. “He is a very reliable player and extremely attentive to the defensive side of the puck.” Esposito spent the last two years playing for the Brunswick School Bruins, a high school squad in Greenwich, CT. “Ever since my brother tried out for the Chiefs two years ago, I’ve wanted nothing more than to be a Chilliwack Chief,” he said in a news release. “I love the town, the people and everything involved in the tradition of the Chiefs. There is an unbelievable culture within Chilliwack and I felt I became part of the Chiefs family two years ago.” Tatarnic noted that Esposito is already draw-

I’m sure we would all like to swear that this year will be different from the last, but how do we reach those goals, writes Brad Clapp With hockey season over and the weather (theoretically) improving soon, golf columns are back.

the Okanagan Hockey Academy and Pursuit of Excellence. While some coaches are loathe to insert fresh-faced newbies into the lineup, Tatarnic said Cholowski will get plenty of play. “I believe if we make a commitment to a younger player, its our responsibility to play them,” he said. “I’ve had young players before, like Ryan Tesink in Woodstock.” Tesink played 44 games for Tatarnic’s Slammers in 2009-10, netting 10 goals and 29 points, and went on to be a sixth round draft pick of the National Hockey League’s St. Louis Blues. “If he’s a player I sat in the press box, the Blues wouldn’t have seen him for the first time playing for me,” the coach noted.

The weather is starting to improve and many golfers are coming out of hibernation to try and find their golf game again. I’m sure we would all like to swear that this year will be different than last. We’ll play more golf, shoot better scores, hit better shots, or take more money off of your playing partners. But how do we reach these goals? I have worked in the golf industry long enough to notice a trend. A golfer will show up for his or her tee time with 10-15 minutes to spare. By the time shoes are laced up, you meet up with your group and walk to the first tee, yyou ou only have time to take a couple of unfocussed practice swings. You expect to hit your first ball long and straight off the tee, but is it any wonder that we see the majority of tops, slices, hooks, and whiffs on the first few holes? I have adapted a term for these type of golfers. ‘Trunk Slammers.’ Myy advice to all g golfers would

be to warm up at the driving range before a round of golf. You have already committed four to five hours of your day, so why not add an extra 30 minutes before to give yourself the bestt chance at a good score. Take some full swings on the range. Pick out specific targets, focus on lots of wedges and seven-irons, maybe hit a few w drivers. All you are trying to do is gett a feel for how you are hitting itt that day and warming up yourr golf muscles so that they know w what activity you are about to do. This is NOT the time to tryy and fix your swing. If you still resist the driving range before a round, the bestt thing you can do to warm up in a hurry is chip. This will help develop your feel for the greens. It also alerts your golf muscles of the activity you are about to do and wakes up your golfing mind to focus on the task att hand. A proper warm up is instrumental in starting your round off on a focused-and-prepared foot. You might be surprised how w well you start your rounds off.

Attack top Tsawwassen Chilliwack’s U-16 Attack soccer girls keep on rolling. The team stormed into the first round of Coastal Cup playdowns April 5, blanking Richmond 5-0. They bombed Coastal FC 4-0 April 6 and played their third-round game last Sunday against Tsawwassen. Chilliwack’s archrivals carried play for the first two-thirds of the game, and led 1-0 at half-time. The Attack got even 15 minutes into the second half when Talia Ferris pounced on a loose ball and popped

it into the Tsawwassen net. Tsawwassen re-took the lead five minutes later. But Amber Charlie scored with 10 minutes remaining to send this game to overtime, where Chilliwack scored twice to seal the deal. Charlie and Ryann Cornell did the damage against a short-handed Tsawwassen side that ran out of gas. The 4-2 final sends the Attack to Richmond for the Coastal Cup finals. They’ll face the Squamish Fireballs the weekend of April 26-27.

Coquitlam Express sweep Vernon Vipers for BCHL title Black Press

For the first time since returning to the Tri-Cities, the Coquitlam Express are Fred Page Cup champions. The BCHL club completed the sweep of the Vernon Vipers with a 4-3 win Tuesday night, punching their ticket to the Western Canada Cup. Canon Pieper, who scored a crucial goal in the second period, said his team wanted to avoid going back to Vernon for Game 5. “We wanted to close it out at home,” he said. “I didn’t imagine

it would go like that. It was a very tight series. We came from behind in every game.” Unlike the other three games in the BCHL finals, the Express actually started the match with a lead. Jace Hennig scored three minutes into the first period, after burying a pass from line mate Cody Boyd, going ahead 1-0 heading into the first intermission. The lead was shortlived. Vernon’s Colton Sparrow tied things up 42 seconds into the middle frame before Canon was able to pot his second goal of the series to tie things up at two each. Vernon that jumped

out in front with two quick goals from (exChilliwack Bruin) Brendan Persley, both assisted by Colton

Sparrow. The Express struggled to maintain their composure for the remainder of the sec-

defenceman Riley Guenther bobbled the puck in front of his net, Express forward Adam Rockwood was there to capitalize. Rockwood snuck it past Vernon netminder Austin Smith for the shorthanded go-ahead goal. Vernon played hard in the final minutes, getting numerous chances, all stopped by Express goalie Gordie Defiel. With 0.4 seconds left in the game it appeared the Vernon forward Sparrow had managed to score a goal but the referee waved it off because of a hand pass. When the final buzzer sounded, the Express were up 4-3.

simplifying things and getting back to what made us successful,” he said. “I think in doing that it helped everybody relax a little bit.” Whatever was said in the Express locker room between the second and third period helped. The team came out firing on all cylinders in the third, with Canon’s brother Bo tying things up two minutes into the final frame. The 1,510 fans at the Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex held their collective breath when, with six minutes left in the game, Coquitlam’s Marc Biega took a two-minute hooking penalty.
