Grave robbers leave without the goods Chilliwack RCMP are asking for public help to find thieves involved in a disturbing graverobbing incident at a Chilliwack cemetery. Family visiting a grave April 20 found the plot was partially dug up. The would-be thieves weren’t able to access the coffin, which was encased in cement. They may have left in a hurry, abandoning several shovels at the scene. The deceased was buried there 20 years ago, along with some family heirlooms, including jewelry. Police believe the grave was dug up well before the family discovered it. “This is a disturbing occurrence,” said RCMP Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen. “We are taking this very seriously, but the cemetery is in a rural and remote area so we are asking the assistance of the general public in solving this.” Anyone who may have info is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers (anonymously) at 1-800222-8477 (TIPS).

Worst measles outbreak in 30 years: FHA Katie Bartel The Progress Nearly two months after the first case was reported, Fraser Health announced Monday the measles outbreak had finally been contained. The outbreak, which originated in East Chilliwack, was the worst Fraser Health has seen in almost 30 years. In a four week span, from March to April, more than 400 cases were reported; some patients requiring
hospitalization. “We haven’t had this large an outbreak since 1986,” said Dr. Michelle Murti, medical health officer for Fraser Health. The rapid spread is concerning. Even though measles has been eliminated in Canada, it’s still common in other countries. In fact, the recent outbreak, which started in a community notorious for low immunization rates, is suspected to have stemmed from a Chilliwack family visiting the Netherlands, a coun-

try that’s been battling a yearlong measles outbreak. “When we have lower rates of immunization, that does put us at risk of having this type of an outbreak that can spread quite quickly,” said Murti. “The significance of this outbreak and how large and rapidly spreading it was is a good reminder for people to keep up to date on their immunizations.” Fraser Health has taken actions to help make it more convenient for families. The health authority recently started offering evening and
weekend times for parents to bring their children in for vaccinations. It’s also researching ways to make booking appointments easier. As well, Fraser Health is promoting online tools that remind parents when their child is due for an immunization, including ImmunizeBC.ca and Immunize. ca. ImmunizeBC.ca will send parents free text messages one month and one week before their child is due for immunization. Immunize.ca allows parents to keep track of their whole family’s

immunization records with one click of the app. It also provides information on vaccinations and outbreaks nationally and internationally. “We do have this constant contact with measles being imported from other places and we do need to maintain that high level of immunization in our population to make sure these types of outbreak don’t happen again,” said Murti. “These are things we can do to make it more convenient for parents.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Value of Metro waste incinerator power disputed Jeff Nagel Black Press Critics say Metro Vancouver’s updated business case to build a new waste incinerator depends on BC Hydro paying an artificially high price for its electricity by declaring garbage to be a green power source. The business case shows Metro has estimated the potential price BC Hydro will pay for the new plant’s electricity at $100 per megawatt-hour, which regional district officials say is in line with Hydro’s cost of generating new power with its planned Site C dam. But Belkorp Environmental, which operates the Cache Creek landfill, says the estimate amounts to a huge public subsidy of Metro’s incineration plan.
BC Hydro is asking regulators to approve a renewed power purchase agreement with Metro’s existing Burnaby incinerator that would pay $43 per megawatt-hour to operator Covanta Energy. Hydro’s submission indicates the market price of B.C. power exported to the U.S. is $24 per megawatt hour. Belkorp vice-president Russ Black says that’s the price Metro would have to accept for the new incinerator if its electricity isn’t counted as clean or renewable, as Hydro can buy only green power under provincial law. He said that means Metro has pencilled in electricity prices that are four times too high in determining a new incinerator is viable and would cost less in life cycle costs compared to using a B.C.
landfill. “The only justification for the incinerator today is if BC Hydro rate payers subsidize it to the tune of $200 to $300 million,” Black said, referring to the difference in prices over the plant’s life. Belkorp has challenged the proposed $43 price for the existing incinerator, arguing before the B.C. Utilities Commission that Hydro should pay only $24. Port Moody Coun. Rick Glumac said he doesn’t see how a new Metro incinerator can count as green energy or how the region can expect $100 per megawatthour. “I don’t think you can consider waste-to-energy to be clean energy by any stretch of the imagination because more than half of the energy derived from there is
from the burning of plastics,” said Glumac, who voted Monday with Coquitlam Coun. Neal Nicholson against accepting the revised business plan. Eight other Metro directors voted to accept it. Metro solid waste manager Paul Henderson said he’s confident $100 is “an absolutely reasonable” price based on Hydro’s investments in its own projects and because Metro would take on project risk. He said the power price for the existing incinerator reflects the fact it’s an old plant that’s fully paid off – any new capacity would come at a much higher price to reflect the actual cost of generating new power. Metro has just begun negotiations with BC Hydro on power
pricing for a new waste-to-energy plant. Henderson also noted the business case didn’t quantify the potential to sell energy into a district heating system, potentially at better value than electricity, because that depends on which site is selected. The updated business case, completed by consultants CDM Smith, concludes a new incinerator is “cost-effective” with costs marginally lower than landfilling at a capacity of 250,000 tonnes per year, and significantly lower if the new plant is 370,000 tonnes per year. Metro estimates it needs the larger burner if it can’t get beyond a 70 per cent recycling rate, up from 58 per cent now. Continued: POWER/ p4
Lawn bowling: ‘Chess on grass’ For nearly a century in, folks have gathered to test their skills at the oldest sports facility in Chilliwack Jenna Hauck The Progress One hundred years ago, the wealthy people of Chilliwack — local doctors, dentists, and prosperous merchants — would gather on pharmacist Harry J. Barber’s lawn, on Yale Road east of Victor Street, for a game of lawn bowling. It was quite an exclusive club. In 1922, about 10 years later, the Chilliwack Lawn Bowling Club was formed. The club is much more inclusive, and welcomes people of all ages and walks of life to join its club. The members are warm and friendly. “You have the time on the green to socialize with others,” says Carol Bell, club president. “It’s very pleasant, probably because it’s played in the summer months.” A sport that’s very gentle on the body, lawn bowling can be played by just about anyone. There is no strenuous physical activity involved, but it does keep one limber. “I’ve heard it described as being similar to chess on grass. It isn’t the rough and tumble sport of alley bowling,” says Bell.
The club is at about 20 members, mostly in their 70s and 80s. They would love to see their numbers increase. At $160 a year for membership, it’s a fairly inexpensive way to stay active and social, says Bell. For those wanting to give it a try before committing to a membership, there’s also the option of a $5 drop-in fee. Lawn bowling season runs from May to October and the club is open seven days a week. Bowling takes place at 9:30 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesday and Fridays; 6:45 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays; 10 a.m. on Saturdays; and 2 p.m. on Sundays. The Chilliwack Lawn Bowling Club is located at 9350 Edward Street (corner of Princess Avenue). There is no club phone number, but guests are welcome to drop in during the abovementioned times. The terms:
Bowls - The biased balls used in lawn bowling are called ‘bowls’. The bowls are weighted on one side, so instead of rolling in a straight line, they curl towards the weighted side. They come in dif-

ferent sizes, from double zero (116mm in diameter, and 1.31kg) to size seven (131mm, and 1.56kg), to fit a player’s hand accordingly. Jack - Also known as a ‘kitty’. A smaller white ball which acts as the target. Green - The 110x110-foot play area. The length of grass is similar to that of a putting green. The grass is cut on an angle so as to not affect the line of the bowls when they are rolled. Rink - The green is made up of eight rinks across, each about 14-feet wide. End - A segment of play in which both teams or players roll or ‘deliver’ all of their bowls to the other end of the green. Normally, 12 ends make up a game.
Hog line - A line indicating the minimum distance which the jack must be rolled for the end to be valid. Runner - When a player throws a bowl to scatter several opponents’ bowls. It’s similar to a break shot in a game of pool. Four types of games can be played: Singles - Each player delivers four bowls, for a total of eight bowls rolled per end. Doubles - Each player delivers four bowls, for a total of 16 bowls rolled per end between the two teams. Triples - Each player delivers three bowls, for a total of 18 bowls rolled. Fours - Each player deliv-
ers two bowls, for a total of 16 bowls rolled. The game:
Lawn bowling is similar to curling. The objective of the game is to get your bowl as close to the jack as possible. At the beginning of the game a coin is flipped to determine which team starts by delivering the jack. Once in play, the jack may be knocked by a bowl to a new position. Once the jack has been rolled (by Team A), it is centred within the 14-foot rink. A mat is placed on the green, opposite the jack. Standing with one foot on the mat, Team A bowls first. The bowl is delivered with the weighted side on the

inside, so the bowl curls inwards and towards the jack. Team B goes next, then back to Team A, and so on. Once all of the players have delivered their bowls, there is one point scored for each bowl closer to the jack than the nearest opponent bowl. The players then move to the opposite end of the rink and bowl back. On the next end, the team who won the the previous end goes first and also delivers the jack. Games typically last two hours. photo@theprogress.com twitter.com/PhotoJennalism

But the services from ESL instruction, to immigrant settlement or the Better at Home program will all stay in place at the downtown location, said James Challman, executive director of CCS.
“We are committed to carrying on business as usual, despite proposed changes in ownership,” he said. They’ll continue to use the Mary Street location in the foreseeable future by virtue of a new five-year lease agreement. The goal of selling the asset is to gain better flexibility for the organization. Ownership of the building “no longer fits the organization’s operating model,” said Challman, and increased cash

DENTAL IMPLANTS The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the implant. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.
Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. these metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes.
Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.
Metro Vancouver is delaying its plans to unveil more potential sites for a new waste-to-energy incinerator and hold public meetings to gauge local support for them. Instead, it’s keeping as many as six sites proposed by various land owners under wraps until later this year. Metro solid waste manager Paul Henderson said it’s taking longer than anticipated for Metro’s board to choose a short list of the undisclosed sites and then obtain options to purchase them. Public consultations that had been tentatively planned for May in Nanaimo and on the Sunshine Coast for two other previously identified sites have also been shelved. Nanaimo council voted April 14 to oppose a proposed incinerator site at Duke Point, with the mayor saying his city won’t be known as Metro Vancouver’s garbage dump. Consultations had also been

expected over a proposed site across Howe Sound at Port Mellon on Squamish Nation land, where Aquilini Renewable Energy wants to build an incinerator for Metro that would also tie in with plans to farm coho salmon and pharmaceutical algae. Sunshine Coast regional district directors have also voted to oppose the project. Two other sites that have been already been made public are in Delta, where Lehigh Cement would use garbage as fuel in place of coal, and in south Vancouver, where the City of Vancouver says it would welcome an alternative waste-to-energy plant that uses a non-incineration technology like gasification. Henderson said it made sense to hold off on consultations on the already disclosed sites until the additional ones are released. He said that may come next year after a second request for qualifications from Metro that narrows the number of incinerator proponents.
It estimates it would need to burn 250,000 tonnes of garbage if the diversion rate reaches 80 per cent and there’s no net increase in garbage generated. Henderson called the targets “very aggressive.” The capital costs are estimated at $424 to $517 million in 2018 dollars, depending on the size of the plant. Glumac and others on Metro’s zero waste
committee were critical the business case didn’t consider the potential for highly automated mixed-waste material recovery plants to pull more recyclables from garbage before it’s incinerated. Some waste-to-energy opponents say such plants could make a new incinerator redundant. Belkorp has proposed to build one in Coquitlam. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said
the justification for a new incinerator is solid. Others said Metro could – if recycling in the future proves better than expected – scale down the use of the older less efficient incinerator. Metro directors would not openly discuss the BC Hydro price point at which a new incinerator is no longer viable. Debate related to that continued behind closed doors.

Tom Fletcher BC Hydro customers who refuse to part with their mechanical power meters will continue to pay $32.40 a month for manual meter readings, with a refund on the balance of the $35 they’ve been paying since December. The B.C. Utilities Commission ruled on BC Hydro’s smart meter opt-out fees Friday, after an order from the B.C. government required the regulator to approve fees covering all of BC Hydro’s costs. A $20 a month charge will continue for BC Hydro customers who accept a digital meter with the radio transmission function turned off. The commission cut the one-time fee for disabling the meter radio to $22.60, far below BC Hydro’s proposed $100. Most of BC Hydro’s nearly two million customers now have fully functioning smart meters, which send daily readings to a collection network and signal when power goes out and comes back on. A few customers cling to theories that the meters present a health hazard, despite evidence that their signals are weaker than the natural background of radio frequency signals even in remote areas. BC Hydro’s meter upgrade was exempted from review, but the commission ruled last year on similar equipment for FortisBC’s electrical grid in the Okanagan and Kootenay regions. Commissioners rejected testimony from smart meter opponents, noting that their spokesmen were unqualified and in most cases repeating false or exaggerated claims in order to sell solutions to the purported hazards. The commission also reduced fees for customers who move and request a radio-off meter at their new address. To switch from a mechanical meter to a radio-off meter will cost $77.60, reduced from the BC Hydro’s proposed $100. Going from one radiooff meter to another will cost $132.60, down from the proposed $155 that includes activating the meter in the former residence.

Each parent in a family of four needs to make $17.02 an hour in order to obtain basic needs and “maintain a decent standard of living,” says a local group. Living Wage Fraser Valley (LWFV), hosted by Vibrant Abbotsford, has calculated the “living wage” for the area from Abbotsford to Hope/ Boston Bar, including Mission. The figure was released yesterday. A living wage is calculated based on a budget for a healthy family of four with two children aged four and seven, and each parent working 35 hours a week for 52 weeks a year. It takes into account basic expenses such as food, housing, childcare, clothing and transportation, once government taxes, credits, deductions and subsidies have been factored in. The living wage does not consider home ownership, debt, holidays, saving for retirement or a child’s education, or caring for a disabled, ill or elderly family member. This year’s calculation is up four per cent from the 2013 figure of $16.37. Vibrant Abbotsford coordinator Alison Homer said the hike takes into account inflation, increased child care rates, and higher tuition fees and Medical Service Plan costs. Homer said the calculation is released yearly to demonstrate how the real costs of living are changing in communities. “This year, the trend continues that costs of living are rising faster than inflation, and that wages are not following suit,” she said. “It is progressively harder each year for families to make ends meet, with families having to spend $156 more each month than they did two years ago.” She said the living wage is based on the premise that people who work full-time should never have to live in poverty. Homer said it’s important for communities to support a living wage because it results in citizens having to rely less on social programs and having more disposable income to invest locally. Employers benefit by higher employee loyalty and productivity, and decreased turnover and training/hiring costs, she said.

R AESIDE
What level of service should injured and sick residents expect from BC Ambulance and fire services? That’s at the heart of the issue now being debated as the BC Emergency Health Services (BCEHS) defends a Resource Allocation Plan that has downgraded some medical emergencies from Code 3 to Code 2. Previously, some of these emergencies were attended by ambulance and fire crews, who responded with lights and sirens at speeds above the posted speed limit. Now, only the fire department is responding with this level of service while the ambulance drives at posted speed limits and gets there later. According to BCEHS, the change in ambulance response time has actually cut the time paramedics get to serious emergencies, which is a good thing, while slightly lengthening the time for some of these Code 2 calls, reducing the potential for accidents — and the change isn’t affecting patient outcome, it says. But local fire departments tell a different story, saying that some of these calls are taking up to half an hour or longer. The cities argue this service change is downloading, pure and simple, so that instead of increasing resources to enable ambulances to handle the growing demand for service as the population increases and ages, the province is merely reducing some services to hold the line on costs elsewhere. But here’s the thing: Should firefighters stop attending these calls, too? That’s what BCEHS says, arguing that cities should adopt the same level of service, then there wouldn’t be any concerns about downloading. But this argument ignores the fact that residents pay for and have come to expect a certain level of service, and if firefighters adopt the same service model as the ambulance, the cities will catch heat. After all, a patient in severe pain may not be dying, but shouldn’t they get a quick response to hospital? Once again, the cities are saddled with the costs and the responsibilities of a senior level of government. And that’s just painful. Quick, call an ambulance. Wait… don’t bother. ~ Black Press

Inconvenient truth about the pine beetle VICTORIA – Last week’s column on Earth Day myths attracted a fair amount of criticism. One tireless member of the “Alberta tar sands killing the planet” crowd scolded me for daring to mention that 60 per cent of the oil pollution in the oceans around North America comes from natural seeps. That’s eight times more than all pipeline and tanker spills combined, and it’s been going on 24 hours a day for the last 10,000 years or so. This fact blows another hole in the carefully crafted narrative that only Canadian oil exports to Asia would destroy our delicate ecosystems. That narrative is why the daily Alaska supertankers along the B.C. coast are ignored, as is the barbaric shale oil rush in North Dakota that can be seen from space. U.S. oil barons are flaring
off the vast volume of natural gas that comes up with the more valuable light crude, while the U.S. environment lobby obsesses over the Keystone XL pipeline. Here’s another one that may upset people indoctrinated by our school system, media and our supposedly green B.C. Liberal Tom government. FLETCHER B.C.’s recent pine beetle epidemic was caused by human carbon emissions, right? Everybody knows that. Gordon Campbell hammered the point home in speeches for years. In 2012 I participated in a B.C. forests ministry tour of facilities where hardy seedlings are grown for reforestation. Test plantings
were also underway to see if the range of southern tree species is shifting northward due to climate change. During the bus ride, I asked the province’s top forest scientists if Campbell was right. The answer? We don’t have enough evidence to conclude that. As for shifting tree habitat, those decades-long experiments are continuing. The scientists confirmed what I already knew, which is that the most recent bark beetle epidemic is the latest of many. It’s the largest “on record,” but the record goes back less than a century. In 2008 I interviewed Lorne Swanell on the occasion of his 100th birthday. A graduate of UBC’s school of forest engineering, Swanell began his career with the forests ministry in 1930. After a year as a ranger, he was

assigned to the Kamloops region to help deal with a pine beetle epidemic. Conventional wisdom on the latest outbreak holds that it spread so far because of a lack of cold winters, attributed to human carbon emissions. I grew up in northern B.C., and my last two visits to the Peace country were both in January. In 2004 I recall changing planes on the tarmac of Prince George airport, moving briskly in the daytime temperature near -40 C. That night, and subsequent nights, the mercury dropped to -50 C. In January 2013 I returned for some discussions on the Enbridge pipeline route, and experienced a relatively balmy -30 C in the daytime. So when I hear people talk about the end of cold winters in northern B.C. because of global warming, it’s difficult to square
with personal experience. I can hear the rebuttals already. It takes long periods of extreme cold to kill the pine beetle. How long? Longer than those ones, of course. Similarly flexible theories are being advanced to explain the 17-year “pause” in Earth’s average surface temperature rise, the growing Antarctic ice sheet, and this past winter’s “polar vortex.” If anyone has substantial evidence that CO2 from human activity was the trigger mechanism for the latest beetle outbreak in B.C., I’d like to see it. But please, spare me the affirmations of quasi-religious faith that often pass for climate change arguments today. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Spill response called misleading Re: Chilliwack Progress “Kinder Morgan holds spill drill Thursday on Cheam beach” emergency response drill to oil spills on the Fraser River was a misleading feel good story about something that will not even apply to the Kinder Morgan pipelines. Those pipelines will not be carrying oil! The pipelines will carry diluted bitumen also know as dilbit which sinks in the event of a spill on water. A few floating containment booms such as those used in this exercise would be useless, given the historic track record of response times to spills that have happened recently. Dilbit is much more difficult to remove from waterways than the typical light crude oil. Bitumen extracted from tar sands has the consistency of peanut butter and must be diluted with chemicals to flow through
pipelines. Claims made by Enbridge where the company was promoting a page on its website saying that “crude oils, including diluted bitumen,” floats in water, was disproven when 3.3 million litres was spilled in Michigan’s Kalamazoo River on July 26, 2010. The company is still cleaning up and learning lessons about the way diluted bitumen behaves in fresh water. The biggest lesson, simply put, is that bitumen sinks. The Environmental Protection Agency in the US believes there is at least 684,000 litres of bitumen still in the river. When emergency responders rushed to the spill, they found that the Kalamazoo River had been blackened by oil. They didn’t discover until more than a week later that the ruptured pipeline
had been carrying dilbit from Canada’s tar sands region. While most conventional oils float on water, much of the dilbit sank beneath the surface. Cleaning it up would challenge them in ways they had never imagined. Instead of taking a couple of months as they originally expected, today the job still isn’t complete. Submerged oil is significantly harder to clean up than floating oil: A large amount of dilbit and oil remains in the Kalamazoo riverbed and that river will likely never fully recover. To summarize, it’s clear that if there is a spill on any of our waterways, we can say goodbye to having salmon, or any other living thing spawn in or near that water ever again.

Build the oil refineries in Fort McMurray I found David Black’s opinion editorial on the eventual destruction of the North Pacific most interesting and timely, considering the federal Conservative government’s commitment on making a decision on the Northern Gateway Pipeline in June of this year. (‘Greatest environmental threat of our lifetime’, Progress, April 25). The idea of building a refinery in Prince Rupert has already
been proposed by BC Green party MLA Andrew Weaver. At the same time the honorable MLA knows this is still a tragic consequence, and does nothing to answer the real problem of global warming and environmental destruction. Opting for the lesser of two evils, Dr. Weaver is hoping the powers that be, see that the enormity of the investment involved and the public disdain for pipelining and tanker-
ing bitumen will deter them from increasing oil sands production altogether. Personally, and with all due respect, I think the answer lies in Fort McMurray itself. Why not build the refinery right there, then the bitumen never leaves the tar sands. This would also increase the safety of our rivers and pristine wilderness. For t McMurray could then become the distribution and
recycling return center. They could then build pipelines for distributing refined product, far safer and many times more lucrative. The money you save not building pipelines for bitumen and the cost of not having to tanker oil back and forth across the ocean, could be used towards refinery construction, which would be around $7 billion dollars.

Broken glass no way to stop cars In the last couple of weeks there have been several young people using the previous Cultus Lake go-cart track as a meeting place with their cars. Drifting is a fairly new sport that can be done on a race track but unlike oval track racing the sport is more about a driving technique where there is a controlled slide on corners. The young people that have been using this track at Cultus have asked and received permission to do so. My son enjoys this sport and has had the opportunity to take part in an event at Kent Raceway. It is unfortunate because though he
drives very responsibly on the road he will often get stopped by the RCMP based on the appearance of his car. He and many of his friends who also enjoy the sport of drifting are responsible, hardworking, respectful members of the community. Unfortunately,someone who is opposed to the activity at the previous go-cart track at Cultus Lake has decided it would be a mature thing to do when placing hundreds of nails and broken fluorescent lamps on the track. If this is a way of trying to communicate disapproval, it was not well thought out. The fluorescent
lamps broken and on the track contain mercury which is very toxic for the environment. It only takes a single gram of mercury to contaminate a two acre pond. I am ashamed to say that I believe that an adult is most likely responsible for placing the broken lamps and nails all over the track! Whoever did this should have thought of a more mature way to express their complaints or concerns. I work for the school system and am proud to be an advocate for our young people when they act responsibly. Sometimes, it is the older adults that I question. Joy Bax

Fraser Health Authority halts planned fecal transplants Jeff Nagel Black Press Fraser Health has halted plans for an unusual treatment of implanting feces into patients threatened by potentially deadly infections after the federal government objected. Fecal transplants are thought to be a way to introduce healthy gut bacteria that can crowd out and replace dangerous bacteria such as C. difficile. Stool from healthy patients can be added via enema or a tube down the throat. Doctors at Burnaby and Ridge Meadows hospitals were to provide the therapy to patients whose recurring C. difficile infections haven’t been cured by antibiotics and have battled chronic diarrhea. The physicians have argued fecal transplants are effective and could have saved the lives of multiple patients who died of C. difficile infections at Lower Mainland hospitals in recent years. Health Canada, which considers the treatment investigational, recently stated it can only be performed within clinical trials, which it has authorized in other provinces but not in B.C. Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin, medical director of infection prevention and control at Fraser Health, said Fraser has put the pilot project
on hold in response but she still strongly supports the concept. “We are fully committed to bringing this procedure to our patients in the near future as we know it can save lives,” Brodkin said in an emailed statement. Fraser didn’t believe fecal transplants would be considered an experimental drug limited to clinical trials until it got notification from Ottawa. “We aren’t considering a clinical trial for this procedure, as we feel there have been sufficient clinical trials to show that this treatment is safe and effective,” Brodkin said. She said the health authority first confirmed that the College of Physicians and Surgeons of B.C. had no objection to physicians using the treatment. Brodkin points to a European trial that was halted early after it cured 94 per cent of C. difficile diarrhea sufferers compared to 27 per cent for the powerful antibiotic vancomycin. The findings, reported in early 2013 in the New England Journal of Medicine, concluded it was significantly more effective than antibiotics – three to four times more likely to cure the infection. Fraser Health’s first fecal transplant was performed in 2010 at Burnaby Hospital by Dr. Jeanne Keegan-Henry.
Fraser Health’s own newsletter hailed Keegan-Henry for pioneering the procedure in an article titled “The S**t Disturber.” It recounted how she bought a blender, labelled it ‘Don’t use for food’ and churned up a diluted mix of a healthy donor’s feces that she then implanted via colonoscopy into a C. difficile patient who was near death. A second implant was performed a year later by Maple Ridge Dr. Ed Auersperg but officials ordered a halt as they hadn’t been approved. The health authority reconsidered the issue last year and decided to pursue the new pilot. Keegan-Henry told the newsletter the “ewww” factor is the main objection, but not usually from patients. “By the time you’ve had diarrhea for two to three months, if someone says ‘I’m going to do something absolutely disgusting to you and within an hour you will stop having diarrhea and you may never have it again’ you’d be surprised how little resistance there is.” She described the fecal implants as a “cheap and easy” fix to an awful “heartbreaking” disease that incapacitates victims for months and kills some of them. “I don’t have any doubts this will save lives.”

‘Living wage’ climbs 4% WAGE from page 9 Homer said 28 per cent of families with two children fall below the living wage threshold, and one out of three poor children live in families where at least one adult has a fulltime job. Businesses can become certified “living wage employers.” Currently, Vancity is the only such employer in the Fraser
Valley, although Homer says there are many other businesses who also pay a living wage. Catherine Ludgate, Vancity manager of community investment, said the company, which has 56 branches and 2,600 employees in B.C., began in 2010 ensuring that all its employees and people it contracts – for services such as security and janitorial – receive the living wage.
Federal funds could help attract foreign investment
She said employee engagement and morale “went up considerably,” there has been less staff turnover, and employees have been happier and more productive. “Paying a living wage is just the right thing to do,” she said. For more information, visit vibrantabbotsfor d.ca/pr ojects/living-wage/
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s federal funding that will provide relocating or expanding companies with a better way to assess Chilliwack’s economic profile. Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation will be receiving $20,000 “to attract, retain and expand foreign direct investment,” said ChilliwackFraser Canyon MP Chuck Strahl in a release. The funding is from the Invest Canada – Community Initiatives (ICCI) program. “Partnering with local communities, the Conservative government is working to attract foreign investment and the opportunities they bring,” said Strahl. One of the ways the funding will be used locally is to update CEPCO’s online community profile for Chilliwack by adding a foreign investment component, said Nettie Tam, manager of business development for CEPCO. “It a great marketing tool in that it gives us a competitive advantage,” she said. Chilliwack’s community profile contains info from the last census, with everything from demographics, to climate, to infrastructure. It allows relocating companies to look at Chilliwack, and do their due diligence, and “look at the community in a comprehensive way,” Tam said. Attracting foreign investment is

Peas give you an early start on your garden and various cultures adapted legends about peas. In Britain, a pod containing nine peas was considered lucky. Peas were also used as one of the many cures for warts. Each wart was supposed to be touched with a pea, that was then wrapped in paper and buried. As the pea decayed in the ground, the wart was supposed to disappear. In the language of flowers, the pea is a symbol of respect, and it’s the birthday flower of February 17th. The garden pea

we all know and enjoy today, was developed in England and was one of the first crops planted in the New World. Garden peas are one of the most widely grown and most healthy of all garden vegetables. They are rich in nutrients, containing phosphorus, potassium and vitamins A, B and C. Peas are high in carbohydrates, but fortunately, low in calories. One cup of peas has only 45 calories. They also contain nutritious amounts of fiber, folic acid, amino acids and protein. Peas are a cool crop vegetable, and as soon as all danger of heavy frost has passed, they can be planted. In Scotland, peas were never sown until the first swallow appeared, while in England, an old ditty advises to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sow beans and peas on David and Chad (March 1st and 2nd), be the weather good or badâ&#x20AC;?. Although many good gardeners plant peas early, you can space the plantings out to enjoy peas right through the summer. Peas prefer a well drained, shallow, sandy soil that both dries out and warms up quickly. They also like a new location in the garden each year, if possible. Peas do not thrive in acid soil, and an application of Dolomite lime is essential for both

peas and beans. Also, avoid using compost. Many seed companies are promoting the use of nitrogen inoculants with pea crops. These are simply granules of live nitrogen-fixing bacteria. In general, they improve the growth of peas and increase crop yields. Peas should be planted about 2 inches deep and about 2 inches apart. For maximum space usage, plant in wide 3 foot rows, keeping each row about 18 inches apart. Raised beds are beneficial to many gar-

is an old dwarf pea that requires very little staking. I think, however, that the best dwarf peas are the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sugar Snapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; varieties. â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sugar Annâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Honey Pod Dwarfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sweet Snapâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; are three award winning varieties, and their flavour is superb. The great feature of these peas is the fact that you eat the pod and all, and they never get bitter or old tasting! Although peas are an early cool crop, this long cold spring has certainly delayed their start in many gardens. The good news is they can be planted now and with a bit of better weather they will grow quickly to provide you with their uniquely delicious flavour.

Irene Wesenberg: Offering that second chance she said. Her brother continues to live in Winnipeg and Irene admits that she enjoys a close relationship with him, visiting him often during the summers. Irene was an active child and teenager and enjoyed participating in a variety of sports including swimming, tennis, basketball, baseball and volleyball. She played for the school Ana rep basMACEDO ketball and volleyball teams as well as being a member of the cheerleading squad. As an avid writer, she was editor of her high school’s newspaper in addition to being co-editor of the school’s yearbook. Irene also had a passion for music, singing in various choirs and taking piano lessons for eight years. “I actually enjoyed singing better so I started taking private voice lessons at the age of 18 and continued on for about nine years, on and off. I’ve performed in festivals, won awards and also did some work as a wedding singer. My dream was to become a professional singer but my goal now is to keep singing in choirs and performing solos when possible. Hopefully, when I
retire, I can audition and be accepted for musicals,” she offered. For the most part, Irene enjoyed school. “I just did not like math. I’m surprised that I didn’t end up bald because I literally felt like tearing my hair out during most of my math classes! In fact, in order to pass Math 11 and 12, my parents had to hire a tutor, which was not cheap in those days. Being immigrants, my parents always encouraged me to further my education and attend university as a way to gain further knowledge, as well as a better job and lifestyle,” she explained. On their advice and after graduating from high school in 1973, Irene enrolled at the University of Manitoba. After graduating from university with a Bachelor of Social Work and a Minor in Criminal Justice, she began working for Manitoba Community Corrections in 1979 as a Probation Officer for adults and youth in Winnipeg. Three years later, she was promoted to Regional Program Manager where she developed and implemented a provincial program allowing youth and adults to choose to work off the cost of their fines in the same places where people were doing their community service work (Fine Option Program). “This is

that seeks to involve the young person responsible for the crime, the victim, supporters of the young person and the victim as well as other people who may have been impacted by the crime. “ Irene enjoys her job because youth tend to be hopeful and are willing to change. “I appreciate working with young people who want to take responsibility for their behaviour and want to make amends with their victims and the community,” she said. Currently, Irene is completing her Conflict Resolution Certification, specializing in family mediation. There is no question that Irene is one busy lady. Still, she admits that overall, she is very satisfied with her life. “There never seems to be a dull moment but fortunately, I have been blessed with good health, family, friends and a very interesting job,” she enthused.

Many people have not thought about what will happen if they pass away or what will happen if they become incapable of managing their own financial, legal, personal, or health care decisions. Without proper planning you could lose control over important issues, such as who receives your assets, who is responsible for your children and who manages your affairs. On May 13 at the Chilliwack Library, residents will have a chance to hear about the importance of proper estate planning.
where my love for community development work started. I enjoy helping offenders become more community-oriented and connected back to their roots. I also enjoyed helping community members see that offenders are really just people like themselves and that giving them a chance to be successful members of society is worthwhile.” In 1992, Irene and her family moved to BC. When the Ministry of Children and Families was formed in 1998, she was working with the Ministry of the Attorney General as an adult and youth probation officer. “We were asked to choose between family justice work, adult or youth probation. I chose to work exclusively with youth and joined MCF as a youth probation officer,” she said. Today, Irene is a Restorative Youth Justice Conferencing Specialist. “Youth Justice Conferencing is a voluntary process

Irene Wesenberg was recently honoured with the Corrections Exemplary Service Medal. Established in 1984, this national award recognizes long and outstanding public service and commitment to helping offenders make positive changes in their lives. Irene’s positive attitude, her work ethic and empathetic nature have led her to a calling. That is, working with offenders to give them an opportunity to recognize how they have hurt others and how changing their outlook and attitude towards life can help them to become successful members of society. Irene was born in Winnipeg to Lithuanian parents. Her parents met and married in England shortly after the Second World War and in 1952 decided to move to Canada in search of a better life. The couple settled in Winnipeg and three years later, Irene was born. Five years after that, her brother Albert was born. Her parents were hard-workers. “Dad worked as a tailor and once my brother and I were a little older, my mom took on a job as a nurse’s aide and she also worked in the catering department at the Holiday Inn. My mother passed away from cancer at the age of 63, but my dad is still alive at the ripe old age of 90,”

Bye Bye Birdie looks at rock and roll impact Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Imagine a simpler time. One that reigned before the rock and roll phenomenon swept North America. Bye Bye Birdie opens this week at G.W. Graham Theatre, directed by Randy Newbury, produced by Damon Fultz, with choreography by Karry Kozak. “It’s a show for all ages, with recognizable music and lots of energy,” says Newbury, who is
acting in, as well as directing, the musical satire. It’s 1958 and the advent of rock music is about to take America by storm. “Bye Bye Birdie captures the essence of that time,” Newbury says. “It looks at the impact of rock and roll and its impact on kids and adults alike.” It was the start of the generation gap. Kids felt like they weren’t being understood by their parents, and vice-versa. Bye Bye Birdie runs April
30 to May 10 at G.W. Graham Theatre, and the production is a partnership between G.W. Graham Theatre and Newbury Arts Concepts. A cast of 36 actors from age 10 to 80 is ready to entertain Chilliwack audiences with their singing, dancing and acting chops. The story of Bye Bye Birdie is loosely based on the star power of the likes of Elvis Presley or Conway Twitty. It follows the career of fiction-
al crooner and pop star Conrad Birdie who they learn is being drafted into military service. His legion of growing teenaged fans are crushed. That is until someone devises a plan for a new song, and staged kiss from Birdie’s number-one fan. They decide to release it live on the Ed Sullivan Show, before Birdie gets shipped out overseas. “It’s going to be very funny, and it’s a cheap night out,” Newbury says. Musical direction is by Paula
Quick, orchestra direction by Adam Van Loo, and stage managing by Steffi Munshaw. The show combines the talent of G.W. Graham students as well as community members. “It’s a joint collaboration between school and community to create an educational experience for students with both professional and amateur role models, all of whom are passionately dedicated to theatre,” he says.

dd a taste of spring to this simple dinner with seasonal asparagus. Enjoy the sweet hint of honey and fresh thyme in this easy salmon grill. Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes • 15 mL (1 tbsp) sodium reduced soy sauce • 10 mL (2 tsp) canola oil • 10 mL (2 tsp) liquid honey • 10 mL (2 tsp) packed brown sugar • 5 mL (1 tsp) chopped fresh thyme or 2 mL (1/2 tsp) dried thyme leaves • 2 mL (1/2 tsp) fresh ground pepper, divided • 4 salmon fillets, about 150 g/5 oz each • 1 bunch fresh asparagus, trimmed • Half a fresh lemon The start of a healthier lifestyle begins in the kitchen. But it doesn’t have to be complicated. Health Canada has easy-toaccess resources that can help Chilliwack families take that first step toward better health. Here are some quick and simple ideas; for more go to healthycanadians.gc.ca
In a small bowl, stir together soy sauce, oil, honey, sugar, thyme and half of the pepper. Place salmon in a shallow dish. Pour marinade over top of salmon, spreading evenly. Cover and refrigerate for 15 to 30 minutes, turning once if possible. Lightly spray asparagus with cooking spray and place on preheated and oiled grill on medium high heat. Grill, turning
a couple of times until tender crisp. Add salmon fillets and grill for 5 minutes. Discard marinade. Turn salmon over and grill for about 5 minutes longer or until fish flakes easily when tested*. Serve with asparagus. Squeeze lemon over asparagus just prior to serving. *Use a digital food thermometer to check that salmon has reached an internal temperature of 70°C (158°F). Makes 4 servings. Just snap it! To get rid of the woody ends, bend each asparagus stalk near the bottom end and it will break off at the right spot. • Little chefs can help to whisk the marinade together and snap the ends off the asparagus. • Pick the perfect asparagus. Look for asparagus that are crisp and have bright green spears with tightly closed tips. To store, stand spears in 2.5 cm (1”) of water or wrap ends with damp paper towel. Cover, refrigerate for up to four days. • Transform this meal into tomorrow’s lunch salad. Make extra salmon and serve it on a bed of greens.

reamy and colourful, these wraps come together in very little time. The crisp red bell peppers and lettuce add crunch. For an easy appetizer, prepare the bean filling separately from the lettuce, and assemble just before you’re ready to eat. Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: no cooking needed • 1 can (540 mL/19 oz) white kidney beans, drained and rinsed • 60 mL (1/4 cup) chopped reconstituted sundried tomatoes • 60 mL (1/4 cup) chopped fresh parsley • 1 clove garlic, minced • 1 mL (1/4 tsp) fresh ground pepper • 1 avocado, diced • 1 small red bell pepper, diced • 15 mL (1 tbsp) cider vinegar • 1 small head Boston leaf lettuce • 1 carrot, grated In a large bowl, using a potato masher or fork, mash beans until coarse. Stir in tomatoes, parsley, garlic and ground pepper until well distributed. Gently fold in avocado, red bell pepper and vinegar. Spoon bean mixture into lettuce leaves and sprinkle with carrot to serve. Makes 12 wraps.

THE PULSE 2014
Getting serious on the journey to healing Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Sto:lo Grand Chief Doug Kelly has spent 18 months getting fitter and healthier than he’s been in years. He did it by waging a determined battle to make some major lifestyle changes. The catalyst was the poor results from a health assessment that he’d taken at a conference. “When I failed that assessment — and I failed it miserably — I knew I had to make changes,” says Kelly, 53, who is chair of the First Nations Health Council. He couldn’t escape. He had to exercise more. Transform the diet. Ditch the salt. Balance his sugars. Bring down the blood pressure. He had to get serious. But he also knew himself well enough to grasp that he had to reduce the weight gradually, or it would all be gained back, “with interest.” Now he’s crediting stalwart support from his doctor, and his wife, his family, and fellow FHNC members, for helping him get this far. Kelly’s healing journey started about two years ago, when he was challenged by the CEO of the First Nations Health Authority, Joe Gallagher, to become a health “champion” along

with other members of FNHC. “He put it as kindly and diplomatically as possible that he needed role models to step up and model healthy behaviour. That starts with everybody
taking personal responsibility for their own well being.” Kelly just ran his first 10-kilometre race in decades over the weekend in Victoria, and has committed to do-

ing a half-marathon later this summer. “I ran out of gas at the 8-km mark, and it was only my stubbornness that got me through it,” he says. But he enjoyed it.
“What a beautiful day for a run, with thousands of folks from all races and many places,” Kelly posted on his Facebook page after the event. He was pleased to finish it without walking, and within his goal of an hour and 10 minutes. That’s a long way away from where he was at not too long ago, huffing and puffing at 325 pounds, trying to kickstart his fitness regime. It’s one thing to accept the idea of a healing journey in your head, he says. But it’s another to really accept it in your heart. Grand Chief Kelly and his wife, Sherry, cleaned up their diet dramatically last year by cutting out most simple carbs and going gluten-free. He loves red meat, but these days he opts for chicken or fish, and more vegetables now. “We eliminated processed food, junk food, and fast food to concentrate on fresh, healthy food,” Kelly says. “When I think about going on a diet, it feels like I’m being punished. “If I think, ‘I’m eating healthy food,’ it helps me make that attitude adjustment. I make choices every day about eating healthier.” The job requires him to travel across the province, meaning he’s eating out in restaurants a lot of the time. continued on page 24

and exercise, at first by walking, and then running. He has kept 75 lbs off his tall frame. It all began with taking a walk after dinner every night. Kelly used to run as a young man. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ran six miles everyday in part because of my circumstances. I had to burn off some anger.â&#x20AC;? But once he started working, and having children over the
past few decades, the focus was always on providing for his family. The running habit fell by the wayside. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting back into it now that heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s committed to the half-marathon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my next goal. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got three months.â&#x20AC;? He plans to drop another 15 lbs, run three times a week, and head to the gym several times a week for strength training. A couple of other changes have made a difference. He reduced his insane work hours and increased his sleep from about four to six hours per night, up to between six and nine hours per night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I significantly reduced the work hours, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve managed to become more efficient.

Curbing childhood obesity Katie Bartel The Progress
between the ages of seven and 13. Developed in the UK 13 years ago by a group of registered dietitians, behavioural psychologists and leading experts in exercise, it’s had more than 10,000 families successfully complete. MEND, which is coordinated by the YMCA, and supported by the B.C. Health Ministry and the Childhood Obesity Foundation, was introduced to Chilliwack last year and has completed two sessions. The success is shown through the children. Several participants from the first session volunteered, under their own volition, for the second session as a way to keep the momen-

Participants are not lectured on “bad” choices, or fed reams of confusing scientific information. Rather, they are included in the conversation and are encouraged to find the fun in being healthy – through active and educational games.

Childhood obesity is on the rise, but a Chilliwack program is doing what it can to curb the epidemic. The MEND program, which stands for Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do it, is a program giving children, and their families, the tools necessary to embrace a healthier lifestyle. The next session starts at Chilliwack secondary school on May 1 and runs for 10 weeks. It’s a program very much needed in the Fraser Valley. “In Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley alone, about 35 to 40 per cent of kids are above a healthy weight,” said Gieselman, MEND coordinator and local kinesiologist. “We’re seeing more and more cases of heart disease, high blood pressure and type 2 diabetes creeping into younger and younger age groups. A lot of those are lifestyle impacted ailments.” MEND uses a fun, informative approach to help children choose to live a more nutritionally sound and active lifestyle. The 10-week program is free for overweight children

How to help your kids grab a few digital free days Smartphones and tablets appear to have staying power. The Pew Research Center confirms that smartphone penetration has surpassed the 50 percent mark among mobile subscribers. Many others are routinely using tablets to access books, television shows, movies, and magazines. In multiscreen homes, televisions are still king. According to a 2012 Nielsen report, the average person over the age of two spends more than 34 hours a week, or more than four hours per day, watching live television. Those findings should raise an eyebrow, as health experts warn that excessive screen time can be hazardous to one’s health. A sedentary lifestyle spent in front of computers and video game consoles contributes to poor health. Of the leading industrialized countries, the United States has the highest obesity statistics, and Canada is not far behind. Obesity can impact cholesterol, cardiovascular health, risk for type 2 diabetes, and risk for stroke. Excessive screen time can lead to sleep and eating disorders, interfere with a person’s ability to focus and negatively affect a person’s perfor-
mance at school or work. Getting a family active and reducing time spent in front of a screen can have profound effects, and reducing screen time doesn’t have to be difficult. • Gradually implement changes. Families immersed in electronic devices can cut down on screen time slowly and over the course of several weeks rather than tuning out cold turkey. Start by reducing time spent watching television or playing video games by one hour per week, and gradually reduce time spent devoted to such activities in the ensuing weeks. • Hide devices. The mantra, “out of sight, out of mind” can work with respect to digital devices. If tablets or smartphones are tucked away, family members may feel less inclined to reach for them at any given time. Just as you wouldn’t stock your pantry full of fattening foods while trying to lose weight, don’t make digital devices readily available throughout the day. • Keep televisions out of the bedroom. Children who have televisions in their bedrooms tend to Continued: SCREEN/ p27

Keep your kids on the MEND MEND from page 25 the MEND friendly and MEND unfriendly ingredients. They learn how to read nutrition labels, how to pick out unrefined foods versus refined ones, as well as healthy fats and sugars versus unhealthy ones. “We’re not telling them they can’t eat MEND unfriendly ingredients, we just want them to be more aware and eat more of the MEND friendly ingredients,” said Gieselman. “We’re asking families to make small changes and we’re equipping them with the information and tools to make those changes manageable.” The physical activity component is based, again, on fun, not
competition. Games like RockPaper-Scissors Olympics get the children’s heart rates pumping and breathing intensified, all the while uproariously laughing. “A lot of these kids really lack confidence in a physical setting,” said Gieselman. “The MEND physical activity component really helps build their confidence.” Even though MEND is geared for kids, it requires parent support. At least one parent or guardian must attend the sessions, where they will also be given tips on how to eat healthy on a budget, and how to incorporate MEND principles into a busy lifestyle, or at a restaurant. “Role modeling is so important,” said Gieselman.
“Getting kids to change their habits at an early age sets them up for longterm success.” MEND uses the Body Mass Index scale to determine healthy weight. The program starts on May 1 at Chilliwack secondary and runs on Thursdays from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturdays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Participating families will be provided with a three-month family membership to the YMCA during the program, and those that complete will receive an additional three-month pass.

watch an additional 90 minutes of programming per day than those who do not have televisions in their room. Keep the television in a shared area of the house so that time spent watching the TV can be monitored and adjusted. • Establish guidelines. Set firm limits on how much screen time will be allowed per day and stick with it. Adults can lead by example.
• Plan more family activities. Boredom can easily give way to time spent fooling around on the Internet or channel surfing. Parents should have a cache of ideas at the ready that promote active family time. Neighborhood walks or tossing around a baseball in the yard are enjoyable activities that cut back on time spent being sedentary. • Be steadfast. Do not throw in the towel too soon. Families should stand their ground when attempting to decrease their screen time in favor of healthier activities.

The Division is a non-profit society that represents Family Doctors in Chilliwack, Agassiz-Harrison, Seabird Island and Hope. We strive to optimize health care services to community members through a cohesive, cooperative and engaged community of family primary health care providers. Here are some of the initiatives the Division is working on to help improve primary health care in our communities.
Healthy Kids Initiative
Framed by a health promotion message that is used around the world, Live 5-2-1-0 is solution oriented (we have tips on how to follow it!) and evidenced-based (it works!). Led by the Chilliwack Division of Family Practice, in partnership with SCOPE, a project of the UBC Department of Pediatrics, BC Children’s Hospital and the Childhood Obesity Foundation, we are working with community partners to make the healthy choice, the easy choice for children in the community. One way we are doing this is working with local family doctors to make the discussion of healthy living, using the Live 5-2-1-0 message a regular part of family practice with children 2 to 18 years. In partnership with SCOPE we developed a Physician Toolkit, as well as resources for families, to help them Live 5-2-1-0 every day. Visit our website to access those resources today!

YOUTH & ADULT CARRIERS NEEDED!
from page 20
The honky-tonking Juno winner is on a Spring Thaw Tour. From rockabilly to western swing, ballads to country-rock with an occasional yodel thrown in, Corb Lund and his three piece band Hurtin’ Albertans are coming to Chilliwack next week. Countr y 107.1 and Rock.It Boy Entertainment present Corb Lund with guests Harlan Pepper on Thursday May 8 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. The Juno-winning songcraft of Corb Lund runs from goth girls to survivalists, bovines to bibles and antique pistols to vintage motorcycles; exactly what you would expect form a native son of Alberta. Their latest album Cabin Fever, screamed to Canada’s number one album in its first week. The album also made the Polaris Prize long-list in addition to receiving rave reviews across the globe from the likes of NPR, Uncut (9 out of 10) and the New York Times who described it as “an album of pithy mischief and roguish charm.” From the regretful ballad “The One I Left in the Chamber”, the twangy paean to survival “(You Ain’t a Cowboy) If You Don’t Get Bucked Off”, the yearning “September”, the raucous “Drink It Like You Mean It” and the apocalyptic “Gettin’ Down on the Mountain” to the bluesy “Dig Gravedigger Dig”, the wily road tale “Bible on the Dash” and the Betty Page-inspired “The Gothest Girl I Can” and more Cabin Fever delivers a dozen ass-kicking songs.

High Time radio release Friday at Echo Room Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s high time for local country rock artist Todd Richard to put out a hot new single. Join him for a special “radio release” night at the Echo Room Night Club on May 2. The singer backed by the six-piece TR Band will be playing tunes from the new album, High Time, including the title track as the evening’s exciting finale. “We’re hoping everyone loves it,” Richard says about his new song. “It’s totally different. This one has way more of a rock edge that will blow the roof off.”
High Time, which he describes as a “working man’s summer anthem” is being released on iTunes Canada on May 2. “We want to have all our ‘frands’ hear it live and loud in Chilliwack’s exclusive Echo Room on Friday,” Richard says. He likes to call his fans “frands” since they’re more like friends, he says. Expect a mix of rock tunes, country rock, with originals from his last album and the new album that he hopes will be out by next fall. Richard has been keeping busy, making it to the Top 25 artists in the Vancouver region for the CBC Searchlight contest. He’s also got a new look to go with
his new song. “Yep, the goat is gone,” he laughs. “I went for a cleaner look. The goatee will be missed, but not forgotten.” On drums for the TR Band on Friday will be Jerry Adolphe, who lays down the percussive rhythm with Bill Henderson of the band Chilliwack. Curtis Pope from Country 107.1 will be emceeing the night. Check out more including a clip of the new tune, High Time, at ToddRichard.ca. Todd Richard and the TR Band, May 2, Echo Room, doors at 7 p.m., show 8 p.m. Tickets are $10 at 604703-4450 or 604-793-8824.

Topics to discuss
before hiring your next mechanic
Pricing policies Many mechanics offer free estimates, but that should not be taken for granted. When bringing a car in for an estimate, drivers should confirm with the mechanic who will conduct the examination if the estimate is free or if they will be charged an inspection fee. In addition to any fees regarding estimates, drivers should also inquire about labor costs and the payment policies at the facility. Labor can be quite expensive, so it's best that you know these rates in advance of any repairs being conducted on your vehicle. It's also important to get a rundown of the company payment policies, especially if your vehicle is in need of potentially costly repairs. You don't want the bill to shock you once the work has been completed, so
don't hesitate to be inquisitive before leaving a car at the garage.
May is Car Care Mon Month
Few decisions weigh as heavily on automobile owners as their choice of mechanic. A good mechanic goes a long way toward ensuring drivers and their passengers stay safe on the road and that those drivers' vehicles perform at their peak for years to come. That's an important role to play, and it's why many drivers acknowledge that choosing a mechanic is a decision that should not be taken lightly. Rest assured you don't need to be a car guy or gal to find a trustworthy and talented mechanic. You might just need to open a dialogue with a prospective mechanic, discussing a handful of topics that can help you feel more comfortable and know you have made the right choice in automotive service provider once a final decision has been made.
Parts Replacing parts on a vehicle is a cause for concern for many drivers, and rightfully so. Consumer advocacy groups have exposed many mechanics who pass off used auto parts as new parts, charging their customers new part prices along the way. While there's no way drivers can guarantee they won't fall victim to such criminal behavior, they can inquire about company policies regarding vehicle parts. Does the garage even install used parts? If so, do they let drivers choose either new or used parts before any work is done? If the garage only uses new parts, ask for parts with solid warranties, so if the part must be replaced, you won't have to pay for it again.
Documentation The preowned vehicle market is thriving, and drivers who take care of their vehicles have earned the right to reap their rewards for being good owners when it comes time to sell the car. When interviewing prospective mechanics, ask if they are willing to provide detailed documentation of any work they do on your vehicle. Such documentation can then be shared with prospective buyers when you want to sell the car, and it also serves as a way to keep the garage accountable for all the work they have done on the car throughout your relationship.

Tips when driving
in rainy conditions Rain is blamed for many accidents, but many of these situations are largely preventable among drivers who adapt to the weather and roadway conditions. Here are some things to consider. â&#x20AC;˘ Reduced visibility occurs from wiper blades, glare (particularly at night) and heavy downpours. When you are unable to see the road ahead, including other vehicles, reduce your speed. If the rain is coming down in torrents, pull over to the side of the road and wait for a respite. Turn on your lights to ensure you are visible to other cars on the road. â&#x20AC;˘ Recognize that rain can cause slick conditions. A film of water develops on the roadways, and that can affect the performance of your vehicle's tires. Less traction means the car can slip and slide. Hydroplaning, or coasting on the surface of the water, is common. Another, lesserknown condition is slickness caused by grease and oil in the asphalt. During a long dry spell, these substances build up on the roads. When it rains, the oil and water doesn't mix, bringing the oils to the surface and exacerbating slick conditions. The first few hours of a rainstorm can be quite dangerous until heavier rains wash the oils away. â&#x20AC;˘ Water spraying up onto tires and brakes can compromise braking ability. That means it could take longer to stop under wet conditions. Do not
tailgate and leave extra room between vehicles. If you drive through a puddle of water, pump the brakes and test them out to be sure you can stop. Brake earlier so that other drivers understand your intentions and can react accordingly.
â&#x20AC;˘ Avoid extremely large puddles. First of all, you cannot judge the depth of the puddle and you may end up getting stuck, especially in the event of roadway flooding. Water splashing into the engine compartment may damage electrical components. Steer around puddles to be on the safe side. â&#x20AC;˘ Use extra care watching out for pedestrians. A normally observant person may be distracted by the rain, puddles and wrangling an umbrella and veer into the path of cars. Be mindful of the side of the roads and where pedestrians may be, such as around parked cars. â&#x20AC;˘ Change wiper blades twice per year. You do not want to be caught with shoddy wiper blades in poor conditions. Without an effective wiper blade, rain cannot be cleared effectively from the windshield. â&#x20AC;˘ Limit distractions inside of the car to focus even more of your attention on the road. While some have become accustomed to answering phone calls or fielding questions from the backseat while driving, avoid such distractions when driving in the rain. Turn down the radio if you must and encourage passengers to remain quiet until safely home. â&#x20AC;˘ Leave extra time to get to your destination. Rain causes slowing down of traffic. Rushing may increase your risk of being in an accident, so always leave extra travel time when driving in wet conditions. â&#x20AC;˘ Make way for emergency personnel. Accidents and bad weather are
common. Slow down or pull over to allow emergency vehicles to pass by. If there are flashing lights on the side of the road, move into the left lane to give a wide girth around first responders.
May is Car Care Mon Month
Rainy weather can arrive any time of year. While an afternoon spent indoors watching the drops fall can be relaxing, driving in the rain is anything but. It requires extra concentration and improved reaction time. Rainy conditions can be challenging and treacherous, and drivers should proceed with caution on rain-slicked roads.
Driving in the rain requires drivers to exercise caution. Making a few adjustments improves safety on the roadways.

However, on short trips, that condensation often does not have enough time to evaporate, and over time too many short trips will lead to an accumulation of water in the muffler that can lead to rust and rust holes on the muffler. Short trips also can negatively affect gas mileage. When possible, leave your car at home on trips into town when you can just as easily walk or ride a bicycle. Over time, reducing the amount of short trips you take in your car will greatly reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and improve your fuel efficiency as well. • Stick to the manufacturer's recommended maintenance schedule. Adhering to your vehicle's maintenance schedule serves many purposes, including improving the its durability and protecting various components, including its cooling system and drivetrain.

While many manufacturers used to recommend changing a vehicle's oil every 3,000 miles, many of today's newer automobiles need their oil changed less frequently. Check your owner's manual for manufacturer recommendations regarding oil changes, and don't forget to replace the oil filter when changing your vehicle's oil. • Pay attention to brake pads. Brake pads that are allowed to wear down can cause damage to the brakes' rotors and calipers. That damage can prove costly and make things harder on your vehicle. Keep an eye on your vehicle's brake pads, which are far less expensive to replace than rotors and calipers, and do not allow them to wear down to metal.

it can clog filters and fuel injectors and negatively affect the vehicle's performance. So unless your car is running on empty, avoid refilling its gas tank when the tanker is still in the station. • Take care of your vehicle's interior, too. Caring for a car is not just about being good to what's under the hood. Caring for the car's interior will not necessarily impact its performance, but a well-kept interior will improve how you look at your vehicle and how much you enjoy driving it. The longer you enjoy driving your vehicle, the longer you are likely to keep it. Preserve the vehicle's door and window seals; clean the dashboard, including the gauges, vacuum the floor mats; and wipe down the vehicle's interior, whether it's cloth or leather. Keeping up the appearance of the car's interior will make the vehicle more enjoyable to drive and increase its value at resale.

• Keep your tires properly inflated. Tires that are under-inflated will negatively impact your vehicle's fuel efficiency. In addition, the tires' life expectancy is reduced considerably when tires are not properly inflated. Routinely check your tire pressure, especially if you drive a lot, and keep tires inflated at the pressure recommended in your vehicle's owner's manual. • Be mindful when filling up your tank. Many people do not pay much attention to their surroundings when pulling into the filling station. But when you fill up can impact your car's life expectancy. Perhaps the worst time to fill your tank is when the fuel tanker is in the gas station refilling the underground tanks. That's because the process of filling the underground tanks can stir up sediment that had settled at the bottom of those tanks. If that sediment finds its way into your vehicle's gas tank,

According to data from TrueCar. com, in 2012 the average new car cost $30,500. That's a considerable expense, especially at a time when fuel costs remain high and cost of living continues to rise. Because new cars have become so expensive, more and more vehicle owners are looking for ways to extend the life of their vehicles. The longer a car can stay on the road, the better an investment that vehicle becomes. Fortunately, there are several steps vehicle owners can take that should ensure their vehicles stay on the road for years to come. • Scale back on short trips. The toll cold starts take on a vehicle can add up over time. When a car is started, condensation builds up in the vehicle's exhaust system. On longer trips, that condensation will gradually evaporate.

Evaluating competing offers when selling your home When you are faced with multiple offers on your home, how do you choose the right one? Your Realtor can help you compare and contrast the terms of each offer. First and foremost, there is the price offered for your home. However, even if the price seems reasonable be sure that you understand any other terms in the offer that might reduce your net profit. Can you work out a mutually agreeable date for you to move out and for the buyers to move in? How ‘clean’ is each offer? Do the buyers have another property to sell before they can close on yours? Can you get reasonable assurances that the buyers will be able to qualify for the financing they will need? Your Realtor can help you weigh the relative merits of each offer, so that you can accept – or counter – the best one, and line up one as an alternative. ‘Clean’ is a term that is often used to describe an offer on a house. A ‘clean’ offer does not refer to the price of the house, but to the terms of the agreement. If a buyer wants a particular house, the ‘cleaner’ the offer, the better.

For many people, their home is their biggest asset and their prized possession. When it comes time to buy that first home, or sell your current home and upgrade, why trust someone that doesn’t have intimate knowledge of the area and local market? Having been born and raised in Chilliwack, knowing the community and various neighbourhoods comes as second nature to me. With an extensive background in Personal and Commercial Insurance Sales and Marketing, I know what it takes to market products to the right people to achieve a quick sale and for top dollar. I love working with people and seeing my clients meet their Real Estate Goals is my main focus! When Buying or Selling Property, you need an honest, hardworking REALTOR that you can count on to be there for you and to devote the time to ensure that you are totally satisfied before, during and after your transaction. I am that REALTOR; and I welcome your calls.

What are the characteristics of a clean contract? A contract is considered ‘clean’ if the buyers are paying cash or are clearly qualified for a loan, the sale isn’t contingent on the sale of another home, and if the closing date coincides with the sellers’ needs. A clean contract doesn’t have any unusual requests for repairs or insistence that certain articles stay that would not ordinarily be included. A clean offer has an important competitive edge if the seller is in a situation where there is more than one offer on the property. At times a buyers offer may not please the sellers entirely. Offers and counter offers may be traded back and forth over several days. When there is finally a meeting of the minds, both sides may feel worn down by the whole process. One of a Realtor’s most important jobs is to act as the intermediary during such negotiations. With your Realtors knowledge of financing, negotiation procedures, and laws affecting real estate sales, they will come up with solutions to any challenges that may arise.

The Chilliwack
Progress Eric
Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com
Studying soccer in new phys-ed course Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Shane Mummery sees all the academies popping up at schools around town and thinks they’re a great idea. A soccer academy at Mt. Slesse middle school. Hockey academies at Chilliwack middle school and Sardis secondar y school. Sardis has a golf academy as well. In Mummery’s book, anything that makes sports more accessible is a good thing. But there’s the word. Accessible. The Chilliwack secondary school teacher knows many students in his building can’t afford academy fees, which, in some cases, run upwards of $1,000. Hence, a new fee-free phys-ed offering, approved by the school board, that starts in September. The new course will be soccer specific, providing 100-plus hours of training under the guidance of Mummery, a certified coach. “In our catchment area we’re trying to look at what they (students) can afford and what they want,” Mummer y explained. “We’ve always had a huge interest in soccer at this school, and thought a boardauthorized course, at no cost, would fit the bill.” Participating students will earn a phys-ed credit. The course will be offered in one of two ways. “It will either be semestered or linear, but that hasn’t been determined yet,” Mummer y elaborated. “Semestered means they’d be doing the course every day for one semester, September through Februar y or Februar y through June.” A linear course would be year long on alternating days. “The focus will on building their skills and knowledge of the game,” Mummery
said. “From fitness to nutrition to technical knowledge and team play — creating a broader understanding of what it means to play the game. “We have a lot of students who are interested in soccer and want to excel in it, but they can’t afford some of the camps and other things that are out there.” The CSS setup sounds very academy-like, even if it’s not. Activities are taking place during school hours, and the course gives credits towards graduation. “The big difference between the two would be, with the academies you get a lot of community coaching involvement, where this will be entirely in house,” Mummery said. “We won’t be asking the community for help in any way, and I think that’s where a lot of the academies incur costs — using community fields and rinks and getting outside coaches.” The course will be available to all students, regardless of skill level. Mummery will do an assessment in the first week to see where his students are at, and tailor his coaching to fit. “It’ll be a case-by-case scenario where we do the skills assessment to see where they’re at and take it from there,” he said. “We’ll have some who have skills at a high level, and we’ll have some that maybe haven’t played soccer for five or six years. We have to focus on each individual student and their needs.” The course is such a simple concept, it’s strange that it hasn’t come up before. Traditionally phys-ed courses are a bit of a mishmash, introducing a dozen or so sports to students through the year. One week badminton. The next week ballroom dancing. The week after that floor hockey.

“There’s a curriculum that needs to be followed, and we need to follow the BC guidelines,” Mummery said. “But you can always have a boardauthorized course if you can get the school district on board with something they feel is worthwhile.” Others throughout the district will no doubt be watching this experiment, and it could open the door to similar offerings at other schools.
“Our numbers are looking good so far, with the ability to go ahead with at least one class and maybe more,” Mummery said. “We’ll see how things unfold and I’m excited about it for many different reasons. I’ll be interested to see how the students progress from the start of the year to the end of the year.” Anyone wanting more info can email Mummery at mumms20@hotmail.com

Chilliwack FCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s U-16 Attack girls won a Coastal Cup championship Sunday, grinding out an overtime win over the Squamish Fireballs. Scoreless through regulation time, it was left to Hanna Forbes to net the winner.
The decisive goal wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t pretty, but it was effective as Forbes put a ball on goal from outside of the 18 yard box. The ball dropped in front of the Squamish goalie, then took a high bounce over her head and into the net. Other members of this team are Dana Bruni, Katie Bustin, Amber Charlie, Lexie Christy, Ryann Cornell, Jasmine Fast, Talia Ferris, Sabien Hinlopen, Kyra Mueller, Megan Muir, Christie Olsen, Sam Pederson, Kenzie Rae, Afton Servatius, Kirsten VanGarderen and Ashley Weisbrod Two other Chilliwack teams also won Coastal Cup titles.
The U-13 Attack continued a perfect season with a 4-1 win over the North Shore Pegasus. Katie Lampen and Grace van den Brink supplied the offence with two goals apiece. In 13 games this year their team has 13 wins, 51 goals for and just five against. They won Fraser Valley and BC Coastal Girls Soccer League titles.

Oakville native solidifies stopper situation Eric J. Welsh, The Progress The Chilliwack Chiefs have made a significant move to fix their biggest weakness from last year, signing 19 year old goalie Aidan Pelino. A native of Oakville, Ontario, Pelino spent last season at Northwood School in Lake Placid, NY. Chiefs head coach and general manager Jason Tatarnic kept a close eye on the stopper, as did many others. “He was a key member of their team and a heavily sought after prospect throughout North America,” Tatarnic noted. Pelino has yet to commit to an NCAA program, but Tatarnic said he’s drawing lots of interest. “He’s a bigger goalie at six foot two,” Tatarnic said, delivering the scouting report. “He’s calm and positionally sound — not a guy who jumps around all over the place.” Aidan is the nephew of Mike Pelino. Most recently the head coach of the Kontinental (Russian) Hockey League’s Metallurg Magnitogorsk, Pelino has twice been an assistant coach at the National Hockey League level. He patrolled the bench for the New York Rangers from 2004 to 2009, and did the same for the Florida Panthers in 2003-04. “Aidan’s family has a great pedigree in the hockey world, and I
know Aidan a little bit as a person,” Tatarnic said. “The background is there and he’s been around the game his whole life.” The need to make a move in net had to be at the top of Tatarnic’s to do list once he took over. No team in the 16 team BCHL surrendered more goals than Chilliwack in 2013-14. The Chiefs coughed up 285 goals, or 4.91 per game. L yndon Stanwood was the starter to begin the season, lasting just 13 games. He won twice, posting a 4.14 goals-against average and .900 save percentage before the team cut him loose. He resurfaced in Langley later in the year and was much better — an indication that the problem was just as much the team in front of them as the goalies themselves. “When I first took over, and even before, I watched some tape and it’s unfair to pinpoint just the goaltenders,” Tatarnic said. “I think the whole defensive side of our game has to improve.” Still, Spencer Tremblay and Josh Halpenny had horrible numbers, plus a penchant for allowing backbreaking goals at inopportune times. Tremblay appeared in 25 games, winning seven with a 5.15 GAA and .878 SP. In his second year with the club, Chilliwack native Halpenny appeared in 30 games, winning five with a 4.73 GAA and
.883 SP. Both are eligible to return in 2014-15. Tremblay’s 20. Halpenny’s 19. “I talked to both of them and asked them the same question, ‘Do you want to be a starter?” Tatarnic said. “They both said they do, and I told them the opportunity to be a starter with us is not going to be there. So, we’re going to move both to places where they can be the starter.” Tatarnic feels he’ll have a high comfort level with his new stopper, and believes Chief fans will appreciate his play. “There’s a certain style of goalie that I like as a coach — I like them to have fair size, be calm, be poised and be able to handle the puck,” he said. “I want them to make the first save, and occasionally a second or third save. I expect them to make the saves they’re supposed to make, and if they can do more than that, I think of it as a bonus.” If Pelino’s high school sounds familiar, it’s because the Chiefs signed another player from there last week. Defenceman Vinnie Desharnais preceded Pelino, and provided one more reason for the netminder to sign in Chilliwack. “I think Chilliwack will be a great experience and I’m excited to play another year with Vincent,” Pelino said. “It was impossible to say no to this opportunity and I couldn’t be happier to be part of the Chiefs family.”

Peewee pitcher strong in relief An early-season pitching gem helped Chilliwack’s peewee Cougars top Aldergrove Friday. Down 7-1 heading into the third inning, the ball was turned
over to reliever Zachary Klim. He struck out the side in the third and rolled from there. Klim threw 75 pitches over five innings, 59 of them strikes.
He surrendered just one run, giving his team a chance to climb back into the game. The offence responded. Taylor Standing, Brayden Currie and
Matthias drove in runs as the Cougars stormed back for a 9-8 final. The Cougars are 4-1 to start the season. They face Mission and Aldergrove this week.
Chilliwack hosts Battle of the Dojos The Chilliwack Central Karate Club hosts the annual Battle of the Dojos karate tournament May 10 at Sardis secondary school. Approximately 200 competitors of all ages and belt levels will participate, competing for medals in kata, weapons kata, and sparring. They represent karate schools from Chilliwack, Vernon, Mission and Powell River.
When students win a medal in their respective divisions, they’ll also earn points for their school. The school with the most points at the end of the tournament wins a trophy. Chilliwack Central Karate Club is the defending champion, topping the points parade last year in Mission. Get more info online at cckckarate.com/en/

HOMELIFE GLENAYRE REALTY CHILLIWACK LTD.
DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED LAWS: The Proposed Laws are a property taxation law and a property assessment law, both made under the authority of section 5(1)(a) of the FNFMA. The property assessment law provides for the assessment and valuation of interests in land on the reserve lands of the First Nation, including appointing assessors, inspecting property, preparing assessment rolls, and mailing assessment notices. The property assessment law also provides a process for reconsideration of assessments and for a right of appeal to an independent assessment review board. The property taxation law establishes a taxation regime that taxes interests in land in the reserve, and includes provisions for exemptions, grants, preparing tax rolls and tax notices, the levy of penalties and interest on unpaid taxes and the collection and enforcement of unpaid taxes.
COUNCIL OF THE FIRST NATION INVITES WRITTEN REPRESENTATIONS regarding the Proposed Laws. Written representations may be made to the Council for 60 Days after the date of this notice.
