BCAC sees progress in ALR changes But revisions to Bill 24 don’t go far enough, says the B.C. Ag Council Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The Agricultural Land Reserve is about “preserving” farmers and farm families for B.C.’s future — not just the preservation of farm land, said Stan Vander Waal, chair of the British Columbia Agriculture Council. The BCAC head and owner of Rainbow Greenhouses in Chilliwack was reacting to proposed amendments put forth recently for Bill 24, the Agricultural Land Commission Act. Steps to engage the council’s leadership in the development of Bill 24 rules and practices was “a step forward” made by the new Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick, noted Vander Waal, one “reflective of the new minister’s recent efforts on behalf of agriculture.” BCAC directors and its membership played a key role in the consultation that led to the minister’s announcement. “The BCAC ALR Steering Committee was directly involved in the amendments made to Bill 24,” said Vander Waal. “We feel good about having had some input.” Unfortunately, the farmers didn’t get everything they asked for, he noted. The provincial government still wants to divide the ALR into two zones, with the entire Fraser Valley as zone 1, while the rest of the province as zone 2. The BCAC wanted to keep it to a one-zone system. “Although government is moving forward with amendments to the proposed bill, BCAC remains firmly opposed to two zones.” A one-zone system would provide “reasonable opportunities” for regional representatives to consider community need, he said. BCAC, representing about 14,000 B.C. farmers and ranchers obtained two significant commitments from the minister. One was direct engagement in the rules and regulation process, along with the Continued: ALR/ p17
The Royal Hotel is offering a special room rate during the film shoot. “They could sit in the coffee shop and watch all the movie people go by,” said Royal Hotel manager Leonard Wiens. “The advantage is that if you do happen to get a room out front with one of the little balconies, there could be some pretty good views of the action.” JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Bird’s eye view of movie shoot mayhem Filming of ‘Monster Trucks’ to start Tuesday Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Come on down. Chilliwack is preparing for a massive influx of movie production excitement in the downtown core next week. Principal photography for Monster Trucks by cinematic mogul Paramount Pictures gets underway Tuesday. Businesses will remain open during the filming and everyone is encouraged to visit the during the shoot — even if parking close by might get a little tricky. Traffic flow changes, parking
restrictions and road closures are all expected. “Any time there is a movie shoot in town, it can mean good publicity for us,” says Leonard Wiens, general manager of the Royal Hotel on Wellington Avenue. They’re even going so far as to offer a special room rate from May 13-28 at the historic hotel. It’s perfect for anyone wanting to get a little closer to the moviemaking magic, Wiens said. “They could sit in the coffee shop and watch the action and the movie people going by,” he offered.
The star power for the $100-million film includes Amy Ryan (The Office) and veteran actor Danny Glover as a junkyard owner. They’ll be joining 20-somethings Lucas Till (X-Men: First Class), and Jane Levy (Suburgatory). “The advantage (for anyone at the hotel) is that if you do happen to get a room out front with one of the little balconies, there could be some pretty good views,” the Royal Hotel rep said. There’s another side to it, of course. “I would suggest this will be a mixed bag of success and challenges overall for the downtown area. But we’re inviting every-
one to come on down and be a part of it anyway,” Wiens said. The owner of Find a Treasure on Mill Street said it’s her first experience with a film production as an area shop owner. “At first I was a bit leery about it, having just underwent three months of road closures for the Mill Street project,” said Claudia Earl. “But in talking to some of the downtown merchants and customers who went through this before, I think it’s actually going to be good.” The film will blend live action sequences with computer-generated animation, directed by Continued: MOVIE/ p6

Second challenge targets NEB pipeline hearings Jeff Nagel Black Press A second court challenge is being threatened by opponents of the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. They’ve filed a notice of motion to the National Energy Board arguing its restricted review of the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline twinning unfairly limits public participation and violates their constitutional right to freedom of expression. It’s expected to be the first move ahead of the filing of a constitutional challenge in the Federal Court of Canada. The action is led by environmental group ForestEthics and sup-
ported by the B.C. Civil Liberties Association. Plaintiffs include residents of Burnaby, Surrey, Vancouver and Abbotsford who live near Kinder Morgan facilities or the oil tanker route and whose participation in next year’s NEB hearings was either rejected or limited. A 2012 change in federal law passed by the Conservative government capped the time the NEB can spend reviewing future pipeline projects and limited the topics participants can address. It bars discussion of the impacts of exploiting Alberta’s oil sands, as well as climate change impacts from burning the oil overseas. “The NEB has interpreted this new legislation as giving it the man-
date to almost completely frustrate the public’s right to effectively participate in its hearings,” said David Martin, lawyer for the applicants. “This legal challenge will fight for the public’s right to express itself and to be heard.” He said a full public hearing on risks and benefits is vital because the new pipeline will have a “fundamental impact” on Vancouver, B.C. and Canada “for the rest of this century and beyond.” Many critics who sought intervenor status have been denied a role in oral hearings and have instead been limited to written comment. The $5.4-billion project would twin the 60-year-old oil pipeline that runs from northern Alberta to Burnaby, nearly tripling capac-
ity to 890,000 barrels per day. The second 1,150-kilometre line would carry mainly diluted bitumen for export to Asia. The North Vancouver-based Tsleil-Waututh First Nation is also going to Federal Court to argue they weren’t adequately consulted on the project’s environmental assessment or the NEB review. Meanwhile, Kinder Morgan went on the defensive this week over wording in its project application that appeared to suggest spills bring economic benefits. “Spill response and clean-up creates business and employment opportunities for affected communities, regions, and clean-up service providers,” the 15,000-page document stated, leading to nation-
al media coverage this week. Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson said the statement was taken out of context from a section that examined in detail the effects of a worst-case spill. “We all know that at the end of the day the total effect of a spill is negative and every effort must be expended to prevent such a thing from happening,” Anderson said in a statement. He said spills aren’t part of the analysis of economic benefits the project would bring. “No spill is acceptable to me anywhere, anytime, for any reason. Spills are not good for anyone. Period.” – with files from Wanda Chow
Climate rally targets fossil fuel habit It’s a climate-focused rally for those who want their elected officials in Chilliwack — and across Canada — to seek better alternatives to fossil fuel extraction and pipeline expansions. ‘Defend Our Climate, Defend Our Communities’ event is set for May 10 at 1 p.m. in the parking lot of MP Mark Strahl’s office on Vedder Road. It’s really about protecting our future, says organizer Wayne Froese. “Chilliwack residents and families are affected by the economic and environmental impacts of tar sands, pipelines and climate change as much as any community in B.C.,” he said. The local protest is on the heels of one by Leadnow last November that saw rallies in 130 communities, including Chilliwack, to connect to a nationwide movement. The timing of the rally is in part because decisions are looming on pipeline projects across Canada. “We’re at the beginning of a great transition to replace fossil fuels with clean energy and ensure a safe climate and strong economy for all generations,” said Froese in release. Around the world, more money is being invested in creating electricity with renewable energy than all fossil fuels combined. So federal support for “boom-and-bust dirty energy projects” that can pollute while “piping the profits out of our communities” are part of the problem, he said. Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl countered some of these points by underlining in an emailed statement that “Canada is a world leader in the production of renewable resources. “Nearly 60 per of all electricity in this country is generated by running water,” Strahl added. “Our government has made investments in clean energy technology and undertaken other initiatives that have resulted in real reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in this country. “We have achieved this without introducing a carbon tax and while supporting the responsible development of our natural resources. “We’ve also reduced greenhouse gases while growing the economy,” the MP said.

Students say it with flowers for Mother’s Day What says mom better than bright coloured flowers? Bright coloured flowers grown by teenagers. Sardis secondary is hosting its 28th Annual Mother’s Day Plant Sale on May 10 from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. The school’s greenhouse is filled with purples, pinks, reds, and greens; baskets, pots, planters, and annuals; petunias, dahlias, heliotropes and begonias; marigolds, pansies, snap dragons, and violas. And more. Grade 11 and 12 students in the sus-

tainable resources courses have been planting and growing flowers all spring in anticipation of the annual sale. The students will also be the ones manning the one-day sale. They’ll be setting up at 6 a.m., running the till, up-selling floral beauty, and cleaning up straight through to 3 p.m. “They’re running it,” said teacher Joe Massie. “They’re doing all the work.” Funds raised at the Mother’s Day Plant Sale provides several opportunities for the sustainable resources program. It helps with program development, this year specifically with the
Richardson Avenue expansion. It funds field trips to poultry and dairy farms, fisheries, and big-scale greenhouses. It also contributes to a scholarship offered every year for students taking the sustainable resources 12 course. All plants not sold are donated to retirement homes, Gwynne Vaughan Park, and the City of Chilliwack. Flowers range from $2 to $30.

The new thrift store opened by Ann Davis Transition Society is going to take the organization to the next level, said ADTS executive director Patti MacAhonic “In opening the Ann’s Treasures and Thrift Store today, we are standing on the shoulders of women who have come before us in assisting Ann Davis. I think this is going to take things to the next level.” The store will not only help in providing ADTS clients with direct donations, but it’s also a way to create a new revenue stream for Ann Davis with its generous community donations. “It’s very difficult to find the necessary funding for all the things we do,” said MacAhonic. It’s a constant struggle to secure money for anything from juice for children’s programs at ADTS, to funding for a

MacAhonic and MLA John Martin, welcomed the new thrift store to the downtown neighbourhood. The shop is located on Yale Road, across from the post office. “When people walk in to Ann Davis for help, they feel like they’ve been beat up, discarded, of no value.

“You are the people who bring them hope,” Gaetz said. “This is very symbolic because the thrift store takes something discarded and gives it new life when someone else walks out with that dress. That woman should never have been discarded. “So thanks to Ann Davis Transition Society for not being just another organization. You came out and really did the hard work. Welcome to the neighbourhood.” MLA John Martin praised the caring nature of Chilliwackians. “One of the things I have noticed in my short time in public life in Chilliwack is how giving and caring we are as a community,” he said. He called the new Ann Davis thrift shop, the “latest in long list of accomplishments” in that regard. It’s a “completely grass roots effort” that’s sure to make a difference in the community, he noted.

Two people have been arrested on drug charges following the discovery of heroin, crystal meth and cocaine in a home off Luckakuck Way, last Wednesday. Acting on community concerns of drug trafficking, police initiated an investigation which culminated in search warrant of the residence, located in the 7700 block of Luckakuck Place. In addition to the drugs, police also seized drug trafficking paraphernalia. Arrested were a 32-year-old woman and a 42-year-old man, both from Chilliwack. They are

Chilliwack Progress photojournalist Jenna Hauck has been recognized by Canadian Blood Services for launching the ‘In Memory of Penny Lett blood drive’ last year to honour her late coworker. Hauck will receive one of about 20 Honouring Our Lifeblood awards that are handed out by CBS each year. “I was so absolutely thrilled to find out about this award on Tuesday,” says Hauck. “I’d like to share it with everyone who signed up to be part of the Penny Lett Partners For Life team, and thank them, because without them we never would have reached our goal.” Nancy Bryan who works in CBS’s B.C.-Yukon chapter nominated Hauck. “Jenna is a dedicated Partners for Life Champion and deserved to be recognized for the outstanding efforts she displayed when organizing the 2013 In Memory of Penny Lett blood drive,” says Bryan. The goal for the blood drive was to collect 125 units of blood in recognition of the 125 units that Lett donated over the years. Chilliwack far surpassed that goal by donating 420 units of blood. “Chilliwack blood donors should be so proud of their accomplishments. “We collected more than three times the amount of blood than expected, plus a total of 133 donors currently make up Team Penny,” adds Hauck. “Those numbers are way more than I ever expected.” Hauck will be flown to Ottawa this September by CBS for the annual Honouring Our Lifeblood awards. The awards go to donors, volunteers, peer recruiters, as well as individuals and businesses who have contributed significantly to CBS. Hauck is one of five peer recruiters in Canada who will be receiving an award.

Some road closures, but downtown still open for business MOVIE from Front Ice Age director Chris Wedge. A chase scene is going to be shot in the alleyway near the shop, Earl was told. “There will be a monster truck followed by some police cars, and other vehicles,” she said. They will be attaching a false front to the buildings to make it look like a wall, and the effect will make the alley look even narrower than it is. Downtown Chilliwack Business Improvement Association officials
are thrilled that downtown was chosen as a film location. “When the film industry comes to town in such a big way, it can have a very positive impact on the community,” says BIA president Kyle Williams. Some downtown businesses may, however, have to make some sacrifices to make way for the filming mayhem, and that’s a concern for some. It’s something on the City of Chilliwack’s radar, along with the Chilliwack Film Commission and the
BIA, who have all worked closely with the film production reps to help minimize the traffic issues as much as possible. But obstructions or delays are inevitable. “We are hopeful that visitors will not only come down to check out some of the action, but also visit some of the independent businesses that helped to make the downtown such a draw in the first place,” said Williams. “It may be more difficult to get to some locations at certain points

during the filming, but we trust that people will be understanding and find a way to either get to the shops they are looking for, or come back and visit at a more convenient time.” While the motion picture experience can offer a boost to the local economy, as well as a unique experience for Chilliwack, it would still be a shame if any of the smaller shops suffered “significant” losses, Williams noted. One of the potential benefits that Wiens sees is the recognizability factor. He mentioned the increased
popularity Hope experienced in the wake of becoming the place were Rambo was shot in the 1980s, as an example. “So there is some value that goes beyond the actual shoot,” said Wiens. “We’ll see if this movie produces some of those markers for downtown Chilliwack.” Seeing the Royal Hotel’s iconic sign in the movie would be positive. “Yeah that wouldn’t hurt us,” he said. “Come downtown and watch.” The film is set for release May 29, 2015.
Sunny skies expected for annual Run For Mom It looks like the sun will shine for the 16th annual Run For Mom, set for this Sunday. The showers that fell Thursday and Friday will give way to a mix of sun and cloud, forecasters say, with a high that could reach into the low 20s. That’s good news for organizers of the event, which raises money for medical equipment in the maternity department at Chilliwack General Hospital. There’s usually a good crowd for the run, but the weather can be a factor in attracting late registrants and their accompanying donations. Since its inception, Run For Mom has raised more than a quarter million dollars – money that’s helped provide better care and greater comfort for newborn infants and their moms in Chilliwack. Each year the Mother’s Day event draws hundreds of people. Some compete in the chip-timed 8k road race, others opt for the 5k walk/run. There’s entertainment, food, and flowers for all the moms who take part. The route takes participants westbound on Keith Wilson Road, before returning along the Vedder Trail to the starting point at UFV’s Trades and Technology building. Water stations are along the way, and volunteers help to keep things safe. It’s a family event, organized by volunteers with the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation. This year the foundation is raising money for a pain relief system that expectant mothers can use themselves. The goal is to purchase three “Enotonox

Local farmers dig into pockets to recycle plastics Black Press Kent farmers are continuing to divert plastics from the Bailey landfill, picking up where a government funded pilot project left off. The Kent Ag Plastics Recycling program has proven extremely popular with local farmers, who are now regularly collecting various plastics on their farms. While the previous pilot project was funded by the regional government, the farmers are now paying out of pocket to keep it going. Last Thursday and Friday, they held their first drop off, in which local farmers brought their one ton bags full of plastics to the Schwichtenberg farm. Eighteen farmers took part in the program, each paying $20 a bag for the service. Those plastics will now head to Westcoast
Plastics Recycling in Richmond. In total, about 10 tons was collected. Before the program began, farmers would have had to drive the plastics to Bailey Landfill in Chilliwack for disposal. The previous pilot program was funded by FVRD and the District of Kent, and set up local farms with the one ton bags. During that program, farmers got into the new habit of storing the plastics and delivering them a few times year. That project ended last fall, but a non-profit association has been built to keep it going. The directors are Dave Hastie, Kim Sutherland, Jim GrieshaberOtto, and Duane Post. Hastie said they are hoping that a source of funding can be established to enable the program to continue. “Until then, the farmers will be carrying the costs along with
volunteers and donations of space and equipment,” he said. Last week’s collection wouldn’t have been possible without help from The Back Porch, Heritage Coffee House, Holberg Farms, Woodside Farms, First Class Waste, and of course, the participating farms. “There are similar programs now established in Saskatchewan and Ontario, and it is our hope that through the efforts of farmers and volunteers, a permanent program be established in B.C.” Hastie added. He said it’s estimated that hundreds of thousands of agricultural plastics are ending up in Bailey Landfill each year. The next drop off will be in September. Anyone with feedback, or any interest in getting involved, can phone Dave Hastie at 604-796-9454.

Child advocate says B.C.’s protection system failing Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – B.C. government officials say the latest problems in their new computer system for child protection files are being fixed after a week of disruptions, but the province’s independent child advocate says she’s heard that before. Mary Ellen TurpelLafond told a committee of MLAs Wednesday that the Integrated Case Management (ICM) computer system hasn’t worked consistently since it was put in place two years ago. The system records information for social workers on threats to children, court protection orders and general information on social assistance and children in government care. The latest failure may have left safety warnings unrecorded, and social workers could be entering a home without knowing if there are weapons or other threats, TurpelLafond said. She called for an independent review of the $180 million computer system to see if it is adequate. “They launched this, and it didn’t work,” Turpel-Lafond said. “It couldn’t print a report for court for six months. Furthermore, it has been launched in other jurisdictions and failed. The same product was used in Australia and didn’t work.” Citizens’ Ser vices Minister Andrew Wilkinson assured reporters Wednesday that the ICM system had been restored to full operation. That changed by the afternoon question period, when NDP critic Carole James said calls were still coming in about system failures. Wilkinson said the system was being “rebooted” again after another crash. Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux said social workers have backup protocols when the computer system

is down for power failures or other emergencies. They take reports on paper and phone urgent information to other offices, as they do when ministry offices are closed, Cadieux said. Social Development
Minister Don McRae said regular social assistance payments were processed normally on April 24, and his ministry staff have the ability to issue emergency assistance payments as needed by issuing paper cheques.
Turpel-Lafond said she had a call in the past week from a father of three young children who couldn’t get a payment because no one in the office knew how to issue a cheque. And she said the loss of domestic violence warnings for social workers and police is an ongoing problem. “Ever ybody who works in the child welfare safety system knows that you need to keep good identifying information about the adults in a child’s life,” Turpel-Lafond said. James said there have also been reports that emergency meal vouchers and grocery cards were not available from social assistance offices due to recent problems with the ICM system.

May 11 is Mother’s Day. It’s a day to honour our mothers and the special place they have in our lives and in our hearts. Some will have passed, others are requiring care and many are still here guiding and nurturing us as we carry on with our lives. They are our cornerstone, our barometer and our foundation. In many ways they shaped us and made us who we are. Mother’s Day to some is a Hallmark moment, one that means you have to buy something - flowers, dinner out or send a card. The mothers among us will say with no uncertainty that what they really want for Mother’s Day is time. Time to spend with their family and loved ones, a little extra time to appreciate life and time to do something they can’t do when every day life gets in the way. Time steadily marches on and the years fly by and before you know it, a lifetime has passed and the torch is handed over to the next generation. Baby boomers, or zoomers as some call them, are now having to care for their mothers rather than the other way around. It is no easy task and it is difficult to realize that one person who always propped you up is now needing propping. Perhaps their memories fail as their body does and realizing that you are now the parent is kind of a sad realization. What is particularly hard is that it was our mothers who we turned to when we needed to, now they are turning to us. Going from being tended to tending is hard, but it does make one realize they are fully immersed in the cycle of life. Appreciate them while you can. So, hats off to all mothers and grandmothers and the important and loving role they have played in our lives. Happy Mother’s Day. ~ Black Press

Foreign worker program needs a strong rewrite The original idea behind the Temporar y Foreign Worker Program which began in 1973 was to attract uniquely skilled (think blue chip/red seal level) workers to fill in the unemployment gap that could not be filled by Canadians or permanent residents. According to the federal government, “The Temporary Foreign Worker Program (TFWP) allows Canadian employers to hire foreign nationals to fill temporary labour and skill shortages when qualified Canadian citizens or permanent residents are not available.” Forty years later, foreign temps are now not only snapping up routine jobs right under Canadians’ noses but some employers are laying off local employees and replacing them with lower-paid foreign workers. And it’s across the board from truck drivers, construction work-
ers and helicopter pilots to berry pickers and hamburger jockeys. Last year the Royal Bank, with a very corporate red face, had to apologize for laying off Canadian IT workers due to an ‘outsourcing’ management decision. The displaced were quickly offered comparable job opportunities. Then there was that HD Mining debacle at Margaret the Murray River EVANS coal mine when the company wanted to bring in 201 Chinese workers, listing an ability to speak Mandarin as a job requirement when it applied for a TFW permit. Last month the C.D. Howe Institute reported on a survey of Vancouver construction workers who believed TFWs adversely affected their ability to find work
with 64 per cent of them stating that the foreign workers were not needed. What happened? In the past decade, the program has had several re-writes, allegedly because of labour shortages, and the number of temporary foreign workers soared from 101,000 in 2002 to 338,000 in 2013 while the unemployment rate stayed the same at 7.2 per cent. Recently three McDonald’s outlets in Victoria allegedly cut back on local employees’ hours while hiring foreign workers full-time. With the exposure of Victoria’s McDebacle, the feds have slapped a moratorium on TFWs for the fastfood industry. Some are calling foul and claiming that Employment and Social Development Minister Jason Kenney over-reacted to a failed system. But the real elephant at the drive-through are employment stats showing foreign workers actually increase unem-

ployment numbers. Policy changes over the last decade to ease the hiring process took place even though there was little evidence of shortage of Canadian workers. As a result, the federal program accelerated the rise in unemployment by nearly four per cent in Alberta and British Columbia. The program which gave employers access to temporary “uniquely skilled” people has now morphed into a program that is a permanent large scale labour pool from which any industry can draw workers at any skill level. It has created an addictive mindset in which everyone loses. Canadians can’t get jobs, wages are kept artificially low, the foreign workers put up with abuse for fear of job loss and deportation, and the program itself lacks sufficient data for anyone to know if labour shortages actually exist. You bet labour unions and oppo-
sition parties are upset. Liberal immigration critic John McCallum has demanded a full audit of the program and Auditor General Michael Ferguson is keeping that door open. According to the Howe report, the program should give employers access to a temporary workforce only for a short period until domestic workers are available and not use the program as a way to get around current hiring requirements. In 2013 the feds made changes to the program to tighten regulations, provide better protection of the Canadian labour market, restrict the use of non-official languages, and improve the reach of advertising to attract more Canadians. Not helping. Many Canadian companies still view foreign labour essential to their bottom line. It’s time to give jobs to Canadians first.

Diluted bitumen can be moved safely Re: Columns by David Black, ‘The greatest threat to the B.C. environment in our lifetime’ (April 22) and ‘The Kitimat refinery proposal: safe pipelines, light fuels and B.C. jobs’ (April 28). Continued safe marine and pipeline transport of hydrocarbons is in everybody’s interest so Canadians can realize value for resources and oil producers can continue to deliver jobs and economic benefits. No one wants a spill of any product. The performance track record over the past 50 years is good, but even still, work is ongoing to improve prevention and ensure producers, transportation companies and spill-responders have the best information available to manage products safely and make the best plans possible for response, containment and clean-up in the event of an incident. Black’s articles incorrectly suggested the Canadian oil industry is not interested in the proposed refinery project and that transporting diluted bitumen is more risky than transporting other types of oil because of its chemical properties.
m o M www.theprogress.com
Fact is, oil producers are seeking increased access to existing and new markets – in Canada, the United States and internationally – to satisfy market demand for increasing Canadian oil production. All options to achieve that goal are worthy of study. And diluted bitumen – oil sands bitumen diluted with natural gas liquids that allow it to flow – is no more dangerous than other types of crude oil. Chemically, there’s nothing about diluted bitumen the transportation system cannot be prepared to manage. Whether it moves by pipelines or tankers, diluted bitumen meets all the same specifications and behaves the same as other crude oils. Oil floats on water if it has an API gravity above water’s 10 degree API gravity. Diluted bitumen has an API gravity of 20-22 degrees. Any type of oil spilled in water, eventually “weathers” and can be driven below the surface by waves or currents. Diluted bitumen behaves the same way. There have been several scien-
tific studies completed on diluted bitumen. Earlier this year, the federal government released a research study that demonstrated diluted bitumen floats on salt water – even after evaporation and exposure to light. The study was commissioned by Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Natural Resources Canada as part of the government’s plan to implement a world-class prevention, preparedness and response regime for marine transportation. Results of the study will be used to inform spill responders and help guide more research. Our industry is focused on responsible development of Canada’s resources. We welcome transparency on our safety and environmental performance, based on sound science. As producers, we transport oil with care and attention at all times. We expect all transportation providers to deliver safe services in a responsible manner.

Burning garbage to create energy not a solution Metro Vancouver politicians are insisting that burning our waste is OK as long as you do it to create energy. This is actually a simple solution for them, they can justify polluting the Fraser Valley air shed with toxic chemicals, and creating eternal wasteland in the drainage of the lower Thompson, at the elation of the GVRD population. They do this because they don’t care about our air quality in Hope and
Chilliwack. They don’t care about the eternal wasteland they’ve created in Cache Creek and Ashcroft. They don’t care that their solutions only add to the real problem of creating waste that’s not reusable or recyclable and mask it under the pretext of creating green energy. They only care about the mass vote and appeasing it. So to even further make their case, they dream up their own ener-
gy price based on a dollar figure that justify’s a profitable operation based on that very dream. They do this so they can fool us into thinking that they are taking care of two problems (waste and energy)at once, but in reality, they are creating three (air pollution, ground water leeching, and wasteland), all in order to get reelected and keep their fat salaries. In the meantime, we all get to breathe carcinogens,
as they also turn once pristine country side into eternal wastelands. We should all stand with Mayor Sharon Gaetz and the Fraser Valley Regional District and oppose this ridiculous system of creating product that’s not reusable or recyclable, but instead turned into poison on the concept of creating energy by burning garbage.

Voluntary gender designation opens Pandora’s box This is in Response to : Throness ‘respectfully’ agrees to disagree over gender changes (Chilliwack Progress, April 29). I would like to thank and commend MLA Throness on his public stance against his BC Liberal government proposed changes for gender designation. In essence this proposed bill gives individuals the right to be the gender they want to be and it would be recognized on their birth certificate. MLA Throness contends with this aspect of the bill saying, “It will
embed in law and in government policy a concept of gender change that is incorrect because it purports to offer what is biologically impossible.” If this bill is allowed to go through as proposed by Liberal MLA Terry Lake then it will open up a Pandora’s Box that will affect some of the most vulnerable in our society. If this bill proceeds as written girls and women in women’s public restrooms will now be open season for sexual predators posing as females. Daycare problems will
also eventually arise. Decisions of government in regards to human rights should primarily be to protect the most vulnerable in society (children, elderly and the disabled) not for those having a gender identity crisis at the expense of the most vulnerable. This is a slippery slope that the BC Liberals are proposing. It seems as though MLA Throness has some conservative ideals, but is a minority voice in the BC Liberal government. Michael Henshall

Adding the sweet smells of summer At Locks anticipate...
Prescriptions Filled. Expectations Exceeded. Paula
Summertime in our gardens, whenever it comes, should be the ultimate outdoor sensory retreat. The wonderful long evenings on the deck or patio should be the antidote to the stress we all feel during Brian our busy days. The big quesMINTER tion is can our decks, patios and gardens meet the challenge? Summer colour and how we blend analogous tones together is very important, but fragrance is perhaps the most important when it comes to creating that sensory refill. Ironically, most of the colour with which we surround ourselves has little perfume. It’s time to add the fragrance! As easy as it sounds, finding lasting perfume is more of a challenge than most of us
think. Finding plants that will accommodate sun or shade, be compatible with other plants and continue to perfume all summer is possible, but we all need to think out of the ‘flower box’ just a little. Heliotrope (Heliotropium arborescens) is one of the most universal of all the summer blooming plants. However, not all heliotropes are created equal. Some of the new varieties are far more compact, but have little perfume. The very best is still the ‘nameless’ old fashioned variety that has that lingering scent of baby powder. It’s versatile enough to be used in hanging baskets, containers or in bed plantings. It will, as most heliotrope varieties, do well in shade or sun. If you need it to be more compact and well behaved, simply pinch it back a few times. My second favourite variety is ‘Sachet’. It is a very dark foliaged variety with fragrant deep lavender-purple blooms. Its rich dark foliage provides

and wide. Like ‘Sachet’, it’s a rich deep contrast plant to other colours. White heliotrope provides slightly less perfume, but its white flowers add a very different look to planters and ground beds. The blues will always be my favourite, but in
wonderful contrast with pink, white or silver flowers and with other foliage. It’s also a compact grower and well suited to containers and plantings. ‘Blue Marine’, another compact dark foliaged variety, produces fragrant deep blue flowers about 10cm (4”) across and grows only 25cm (10”) tall

Fragrance can add a new dimension to your garden FRAGRANCE from page 12 the right situation, the old fashioned white varieties can provide quite a classy look. When folks ask for a flowering shrub that blooms all summer with a nice perfume, one plant leaps ahead of all others the Butterfly Bush or buddleia. Native to China, Japan and other parts of Asia as well as Chile, Mexico and the USA, there are at least seven different species, all unique in their own ways. The greatest challenge for many species is their invasive nature and there are now many regions in North America, including British Columbia, Oregon and Washington where gardeners are encouraged not to plant them. The great news is there are now many new varieties which are sterile and do not pose this very important environmental concern. A Proven Winner introduction Buddleia x ‘Blue Chip’ from the ‘Lo & Behold’ series is the first miniature (2430” or 61-76cm) sterile variety. Hardy to zone 5, it requires little pruning or deadheading and blooms and reblooms all summer until frost. Its fragrant lavenderblue flowers add a nice perfume to our gardens and patios all summer and of course, attract both butterflies and hummingbirds. I love the fact it grows well in containers and is a wonderful complement to so many trailing and upright annuals, perennials and vines. Another too often overlooked fragrant plant is Spanish Broom (Spartium junceum). This tender zone 7 plant needs a protected sunny dry spot, but will bloom with huge fragrant yellow pea-like flowers from early summer through autumn. It has a wonderful perfume that seems to carry throughout our patios and gardens. One of the most under used plants for our patios is lavender. You need a hot sunny spot with very good drainage and a trained sense not to overwater! The silvery fragrance of lavender is so nice to enjoy all year round, even to brush up against or simply rub your hands over the foliage. When they bloom with their blue, lavender, pink or white flowers, they put on
quite a show. Today, there are a number of lavender varieties from which to choose. The hardiest, of course, is the ‘angustifolia’, particularly ‘Munstead’ (zone
5) with its very compact habit. French Lavender, L. dentate candicans, has become very popular because of not only the fragrant foliage but
also the wide range of new flower colours that persist well into the summer. The sweetest smelling flowers are the English Spike Lavender, L. latifolia.
It’s hardy to zone 5 and has very fragrant flowers all summer. My favourite lavender, however, is Spanish Lavender, L. stoechas. Its huge soft lavender to
rich purple blooms are perfumed and so prolific they just keep coming all summer long and even into the fall with a little pruning. They are the most tender (zone
7), and they need winter protection. Its flowers are huge and tend to bounce around in the wind like huge purple bumblebees.

News Fraser Health urges more moms to donate breast milk Jeff Nagel Black Press
ing moms to consider giving the gift of health to our most fragile patients by donating their breastmilk,” said Fraser Health project development nurse Sidney Harper. A devastating bowel disease called necrotizing enterocolitis is much more common in premature babies that are fed formula instead of human breast milk. Mothers in some cases struggle to provide milk or aren’t permitted to as a result of illness or medications they use. Fraser Health plans to open dispensaries at Royal Columbian and Surrey Memorial hospitals to store and provide the donor human milk. Frances Jones, coordinator of the provincial milk bank at B.C. Women’s, said the aim is to meet all requests for donor milk from the NICUs at Surrey and Royal Columbian. The World Health Organization recommends babies get only breast milk until they’re six months old and that they continue to be breast fed with other nutritious foods added until at least two years. For more information on how to donate see bcwomensmilkbank.ca.
CUT DOWN YOUR POWER ONE DAY DEALS! BILL Lactating mothers are urged to consider donating some of their milk to help others who aren’t able to breastfeed their own babies. Fraser Health has opened 10 new human milk donation depots at public health units in Hope, Agassiz, Mission, Langley, Cloverdale, Guildford, North Surrey, New Westminster, Port Moody and Burnaby, in addition to existing ones in Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Maple Ridge. Women who have been screened can collect breast milk at home, freeze it and donate it at those locations. It’s transported to the provincial milk bank at BC Women’s Hospital where it’s pooled, processed and pasteurized. Most of the donated milk goes to feed premature and sick babies in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) who are at high risk of illness and infection. “With Mother’s Day just around the corner, we are asking all breastfeed-

in Chilliwack where patients can be put to sleep for their
surgical procedures. Keep in mind that there are different levels of IV sedation ranging from conscious sedation to deep sedation. Conscious IV sedation helps a
patient to relax similar to oral sedation however the patient is still not asleep. In British Columbia, a dental office must pass a thorough inspection by the College of Dental Surgeons of BC in order to provide deep IV sedation or general anesthesia. If you are considering being ASLEEP for your surgical procedure at any dental office, you should ensure the facility is certified by the College of Dental Surgeons of BC and that the staff, surgeons & anesthetists are certified in advanced cardiac life support.
Your comfort and safety is our priority.

ALR from Front idea to formally engage a working group to explore the feasibility of adopting an overall “net benefit” to agriculture policy for decisions relating to the ALR. “BCAC has always been committed to preserving agriculture land, but we are also committed to preserving farmers. “If enjoying locally grown and raised goods is truly important to British Columbians, we need to find ways to support economically sustainable farming and attract youth into agriculture,” added Vander Waal. The proposed changes are the upshot of whirlwind meetings with the ag sector, said Minister Letnick in a statement: “The amendments allow the ALC chair or regional panel to refer applications to the ALC’s executive committee, if the chair determines that a decision could have substantial impact on the ALR. “Bill 24 also is being amended to clearly outline, in priority order, the criteria the commission must consider in all land-use decisions in zone 2 (North, Interior and Kootenay). “This priority list will begin with whether the ALC considers the proposal to meet with the purposes of the commission, namely the preservation of agricultural land, encouraging farming and enabling farm use on agricultural land. All other factors would follow in descending order of priority. “This change is intended to confirm the ALC’s priority remains preserving farming and ensuring panels make decisions in the best interests of agriculture,” said Letnick. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Kevin Wood: Hanging up the hospitality hat of becoming an astronaut but by the ripe old age of five, the focus changed from outer space to the kitchen. As he reached his teens, he became seriously interested in cooking. After graduation, he attended Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, where he completed a threeyear cooking program and received certification as a Chef du Cuisine. “Cooking takes a good measure of creativity and I consider myself a fairly creative person,� he said. Kevin, being the self-determined perfectionist that he is, quickly mastered the art. Then, seeing the need to challenge
After 17 years with the Best Western, Kevin Wood is retiring. Having been officially diagnosed with MS (multiple sclerosis) back in 2003, he recently began to notice Ana that the disease MACEDO was progressing quite dramatically. “Then a light bulb came on; I knew that I didn’t want to work until I couldn’t,� he smiled. As a little boy, Kevin developed a passion for cooking. Initially, he dreamed
himself, he developed an interest in ice carving. While employed at the Fantasyland Hotel in Edmonton, he worked on carving a life-sized, horse drawn carriage. “I did this along with three of my colleagues. This had never been previously attempted at the hotel and it took us three weeks to carve it,� he explained. Kevin went on to work at the hotel for seven years; overseeing a staff of 80 while operating five kitchens. “During peak times of the year, we’d prepare 10,000 meals per day.� In the time that he worked for them, Kevin was elevated to food and beverage manager and
Louisiana Hayride
soon after, became the hotel’s assistant manager. There’s no denying that Kevin is an enthusiastic and ambitious individual so when the Best Western Rainbow Country Inn offered him the position of manager in May of 1997, he accepted. The Edmonton native and his family relocated to Chilliwack and Kevin has never regretted that move. “I have always enjoyed my work and the people that I work with,� he said.
Kevin likes to get things done and has always had a very strong work ethic. “I believe that it’s important to give back to the community and I have always been involved in community work. No matter how busy I may have been, the thought was always on how I was going to get things done. People can do an amazing amount of stuff if they really want to,� he smiled. Then 11 years ago, in the midst of being so incredibly busy,
he noticed that something was not right. Shortly thereafter, he was diagnosed with MS. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks the central nervous system. As a result, it affects the transmission of electrical signals to the nerve cells. The disease can cause patients to experience fatigue, numbness, loss of vision, loss of balance, painful muscle spasms and even paralysis.
“Before I was diagnosed, I noticed that there were certain things that were happening to my body but I didn’t particularly pay much attention to them and brushed them off as something else,� he admitted. Then eventually, it came to the point that he could no longer ignore the symptoms. “I have always pushed myself so when I was told that I had this life altering disease, it was shocking at first.� However, Kevin Continued: WOOD/ p34

Perspectives
Making every door the right door • The more we remember our own frailties, the easier it will be to have compassion for people seeking help. This known is as the Wounded Healer phenomenon. Making every door the right door is something that can be a reality when we get to know what is available in our communities and work to cultivate attitudes of compassion and kindness.
and part of our empathy system. It’s important to detach from this feeling and pay attention instead to the helper seeker’s sense of helplessness underneath the emotion they’re outwardly displaying. • People seeking and needing help often experience “self-stigma,” an internal sense of shame about having a problem. Instead of thinking “I have a problem, and at one time or another everyone has,” when we have self-stigma, we may think, “I am a problem and others aren’t.”
• When we’re anxious, we’re more likely to be forgetful or to seem aggressive when we really mean to be assertive. • Being vulnerable connects us with feelings of helplessness. Because few of us like feeling helpless, we sometimes convert this feeling to anger and come across angry or controlling. • When someone comes across angry, it excites mirror neurons in our brains that arouse the same emotion in us. This is a natural reaction

Have you ever needed help and not known where to turn? It can be a distressing experience. Most of us are selfsufficient most of the time. We live in a culture that prizes independence. This can m a k e needing help an uncomRob for table LEES experience. Star ting the journey of seeking help – especially when you don’t even know what help you need – can be perplexing. The Chilliwack Child and Youth Committee (CYC) is attempting to make the experience of looking for help a little less distressing. Feedback from the 2013 Consultation on Chilliwack’s Children led to plans to make “every door the right door.” What this means is, if you show up at a place that can’t respond to what you need, that “door” will help guide you to the right resource. You won’t be left on your own. In order to achieve this, the helping community has to be well integrated; the various services have to know each other and what they do. Knowing what others do is an important part of having an integrated, well-functioning community. This gets harder the bigger the community is. Consequently, the CYC puts a lot of effort into networking opportunities to increase that sense of neighbourliness. The size of the community shouldn’t dictate the nature of the person-to-person interaction when seeking help. Towards this end, the CYC held training for administrative, frontline staff, the first people to answer the phone or greet you when you walk in the door. The training they received could help any of us if we know someone who has asked for help. Here are some of the key points: • Remember that asking for help often makes us feel vulnerable, and when we’re vulnerable, we’re more anxious.

Laurea Palmantier (left) of Inner Vision Yoga leads a free youth yoga class at her studio on Monday. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Finding calm in the tumultuous teen years Katie Bartel The Progress Sherise James waits for more than an hour after school every week to go to yoga. She’s not a master yogi, isn’t into the hippie granola lifestyle, and like most teens her age, has a mind that is in constant go-go-go mode. But for James, 14, yoga has become an outlet needed to calm her mind and body if only a couple times a week. “It makes me happy,,” says James, a Grade 9 student at Chance Alternate. “It helps me cope with a lot of things. It helps me get through the day.”
James isn’t the only teen in Chilliwack benefitting from the spiritual powers of yoga. Last year Laurea Palmantier, co-owner of Inner Vision Yoga in Vedder, started donating yoga time at Chance Alternate. Asked by a client if she’d be interested, Palmantier jumped at the opportunity. She hadn’t worked with youth prior and wanted to see how yoga could benefit that generation like it had hers. The program was a huge success. Girls, boys, young athletes, troubled youth all signed up, and all benefitted. In January, Palmantier, in partnership with Chilliwack
Youth Services, opened those classes up to the wider community, offering once a week in-studio classes to youth, free of charge. “There’s a lot of focus on competitive sports for youth, but not much in terms of this,” says Palmantier. “I’m hoping it gives them an outlet to just be themselves and be happy with being themselves.” While yoga may be seen as an oxymoron when paired with teens, for several in Chilliwack, it became the calming force their minds and bodies so desperately needed.

The 14-year-old is a budding athlete, committed to several high intensity sports including football, hockey, lacrosse, rugby, weight-lifting, jiu jitsu, mixed martial arts, and running. Yoga not only accentuates his athletic endeavors, keeping him loose and limber, but also relaxes his mind. “It helps me keep my cool,” he shrugs. “A lot of the other sports I’m into are rougher and really intense and it’s easy to lose your cool.

They breathe. “Nice deep breaths,” Palmantier instructs. “Let your belly fill up like a balloon, and as you exhale, bring your belly button towards your spine. For every position, Palmantier says the yoga name, and then describes it in a way they’ll easily understand.

Discovering beautiful B.C. in a classic car adventure

SERIOUS PROTECTION
DOES YOUR BOX LOOK LIKE THIS?
Then we bypassed Kelowna and headed for Beaverdell, admiring the evidence of the now defunct historic Kettle Valley railway. Then the chilling hail hit but a single glass of beer at Rock Creek restored us us. We weaved our way north along the valley, through wine country, to Penticton. “Piece of cake,” said George the next day as he looked at the route to Hope. The winding back road trail to Princeton was a joy but the last stretch home was not. First, we were hit by snow, then hail that numbed our faces as we descended from Manning Park. I thought I had made a significant anatomical discovery when it appeared that the icy wind blasting up my right nostril seemed to exit through my left ear. Of course, it could have been the hole in the left side of my helmet. There was one other little challenge. The panel failed so I had to peer at my handheld GPS to figure out what speed we were doing then shout at the top of my voice when George exceeded the posted limit. We made it safe and sound. “Next year, Sid?” “I’ll get back to you, George.” keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca
OF THE WEEK: Driveway editor Keith Morgan writes today about how a 3-day rally along picturesque B.C. roads turned him to the idea of a B.C. summer ‘staycation’. Will you do a road trip holiday though B.C. this year, and if so where to? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer.

QUESTION OF THE WEEK!
Safety Tip: As the weather continues to get warmer, drivers should expect to share the road with more motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians. When turning at an intersection, use extra caution and look out for these other road users to help keep our roads safe.

Buying the right motorcycle for the right price
‘‘
Establishing a budget is probably the most important thing to outline when it comes to your new ride.
’’
Alexandra Straub
You’ve got your license, you’ve got your proper gear, now all you need is your motorcycle. Here are a few things to consider before signing on the dotted line. Budget Establishing a budget is probably the most important thing to outline when it comes to your new ride. If you’re buying used, this is particularly important. You might be tempted to spend an extra couple of thousand on the bike of your dreams. But if the dream bike just happens to be a nightmare and costs you an unanticipated fortune on repairs, you might find yourself in a pickle. New or Used? There are differing benefits to buying new or used. New bikes have warranties, but a used bike that might not be too old could still have one. Is buying either way better than the other? Not necessarily. Buying used you could get a more upscale model for your budget. Check the VIN through ICBC or a Trusted Database It might cost you a few extra dollars to run a bike’s VIN through a trusted database but can save you multiple headaches in the end. It will show if the bike has been in any reported accidents and detail the damage. It’ll also show if there is money owing on the bike or if it was reported stolen. Keep in mind, if the bike is from out of the country, the record likely won’t show. When I went to buy my first bike, I had my heart set on a beautiful Yamaha R6. It looked brand new and perfect. The seller said it had never been in any accidents and had all original parts. I left thinking that the next day I’d be riding this beauty home. However, I paid my $20 (at the time) and found out the bike had been in two accidents with damage costs of more than $3,000. If you’re buying through a dealership, they might even have the bike’s history on hand for you. It never hurts to double check. The Myth of Displacements Many new riders
www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1
like to set a cap on the cc displacement they’re willing to get for their first bike. I had a reader write me asking what he should get. He’s 6’2”, 220 pounds and had long limbs. He didn’t want anything higher than a 250cc
though. I asked him why. He said he wanted something manageable for his first bike. With long arms and legs, a 250cc bike wasn’t going to fit him! Or vice versa. I told him to look at cruisers, like the Harley-Davidson Sportster,
Honda Shadow, Suzuki Boulevard S40, Yamaha Bolt. They might have a higher displacement but they’re going to be easy to manage and work much better with his body. What did he buy? A used 2006 Honda Shadow
750cc. And he loves it. I recommend buying a bike that you are comfortable on, both physically and mentally. Test Rides Private sellers won’t generally let you test ride, but ask. Dealers are more open to
this, especially with newer models because they have demo fleets. Mechanical Inspection If you’re buying used, and you are this close to making the decision, before you go to the bank and give
up your savings, spend an extra $100-$200 to get a motorcycle mechanic to look at your potential purchase. I wouldn’t buy a bike without knowing what I’m getting into.

Why do people just stop where they bump and get out of their cars in the middle of the road and risk life and limb among busy traffic? – The police aren’t coming to investigate but they may ticket you for causing an obstruction.

Our Student
2014 April
Congratulations
Leaders
to the following students on achieving
Of Tomorrow Mackenzie Ives is an excellent A honours student and GW Graham community member. Mackenzie loves literature and it shows. For a project in Grade 10, she wrote a fantasy short story through drabbles, 100-word paragraphs which tell complete stories within themselves. She earned As for grades 10 IB and 11 honours English, and currently has the highest grade in Advanced Placement English Literature 12. On the recent school trip to France, Mackenzie made sure to find bookshops wherever she went. Mackenzie is involved in our school community. She has been a valued student librarian for three years and an active member of the Key Club, this year as the president. Outside of school, she works at garden centers and volunteers in community craft fairs every year. Mackenzie’s goal is to study English and History and become a secondary school teacher. Some of the adjectives her teachers and mentors have used to describe Mackenzie are hard-working, considerate, polite, respectful, responsible, mature, committed, engaged, reflective, and positive. These certainly are attributes of a great leader and Mackenzie is well-deserving of the Leader of Tomorrow Award.

excellence at school and in our community Meindert is a hardworking, energetic, integral Chilliwack Secondary student. While maintaining a 96% average in his studies, he spends time giving back to his school, his community, and his global community. Meindert has participated in the school’s leadership program, and is the current Grade 12 Representative. He has been instrumental in many school activities, including this year’s Terry Fox Fundraising. Meindert spent hours planning, promoting, and fundraising for the event and raised over $700 on his own! He is a Big Brother mentoring a group of six boys in the Games Program. He is also a peer grief trainer for the Chilliwack Hospice Society, volunteers at the SPCA, Rotary Book Sale, Salvation Army Christmas Hampers, and the Helping Hands Service Club, where he serves hot meals to those less fortunate. Meindert’s philanthropy extends outward as well. Last year he worked full time so he could attend a 21 day volunteer trip to Kenya, where he and a team of students built a chicken coup, led leadership activities, and worked with elementary school students. While giving back is innate to Meindert, it is clear it was life changing for him. Meindert truly is a model citizen and student, for a plethora of reasons, not to mention an exemplar of an exceptional leader. Well done.
You only need to see the way Anna-Marie Ryan’s face lights up when she is performing with one of the music groups at Sardis Secondary School to know that her passion lies in music. From a very young age, she has been involved in studying and performing music, both solo and with a number of different groups. Intent on pursuing a career in music, Anna-Marie is also a talented student with straight A’s for her entire 3 years at Sardis Secondary. Anna-Marie still manages to find time to be involved with a number of volunteer activities both at school and in the community. She has been a volunteer tutor, assisted with school assemblies, our Healthy Living and Career Days. She has also been very active through her church in a number of community events. Congratulations Anna-Marie, on being selected as Sardis Secondary School’s Leader of Tomorrow for April, 2014!

Downward facing dog: upside down V. Plank: high pushup, the flat of your back, straight as a stick. Cobra: like a snake, back arched, shoulders squared, chest out. With youth, Palmantier purposely tones down the spiritual side of yoga and keeps the pace of the class steadily moving. She doesn’t want to overwhelm them, or want them to become fidgety with boredom. She wants them to discover what yoga can do for them, with the hope they’ll explore further into the spiritual side down the road. “It’s a way for these kids to cope with the every day stresses of being a teenager,” says Palmantier. “Yoga encourages them to tune into themselves and their personal power, to build on their inner confidence and not be susceptible to peer pressure.” The positive changes she’s seen is reward enough for Palmantier. “The changes are subtle,” she says. “Their posture has improved, they’re relaxing, they can sit still. “There’s an increase in body awareness as well,” she says. “When they can balance on one leg and have discovered the strength of their own body, that is so important.” Without yoga, “it’s something they might not have even tried.” “Let your mind be still,” Palmantier tells the class sitting cross legged before her. “For just a couple moments, try to let go of everything else from the day. Any worries, stresses, let them go.” And just be. Youth yoga is offered at Inner Vision Studio on Lark Road every Monday from 3:15 to 4 p.m. For more information, contact the studio at 604-824-5555 or visit the website www.innervisionyoga.ca.

Community Fed funding helps students find work The federal government will spend $316,523 to help 70 students in Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon find work over the summer, MP Mark Strahl said this week. “The Canada Summer Jobs program benefits both employers and students alike,” said Strahl. “Eager young students can be a real asset to any organization while employers offer students a chance for real world experience and some cash for the next school year.” Canada Summers Jobs provides funding to notfor-profit organizations, public-sector employers and small businesses with 50 or fewer employees to create summer job opportunities for young people aged 15 to 30 years who are full-time students intending to return to their studies in the next year. In 2014, the Canada Summer Jobs program is expected to create approximately 35,000 jobs, while helping employers address skills shortages. Since it began in 2007, Canada Summer Jobs has helped over 260,000 students. Through Economic Action Plan 2014, the government of Canada is also supporting up to 3,000 internships in high-demand fields and up to 1,000 internships in small and medium-sized businesses. The government of Canada is also encouraging apprenticeship and careers in the skilled trades through grants and tax credits, along with support for training programs.

MOMS are extra special!
Mother’s Day Gifts Beginning early can ease the pressure of Mother's Day shopping. Research gift options at least a month prior so that you can read reviews on products and services to guarantee quality. You also want to make sure the gift will arrive on time if you will be ordering your gift online. Here are other ways to shop in a smart manner. • Do some sleuthing. Play detective and take inventory of what Mom likes to do the most. If you ask your mother what she wants, she will likely brush off the question and tell you nothing. It is up to you to do the investigative work. Pay attention to conversations and see if there is anything she mentions wanting to try or something around the house that may need updating. Practical gifts are less likely to end up unopened in the basement or attic. • Check expiration dates. Gift certificates and cards for particular stores or services are popular come Mother's Day. But it is essential to check expiration dates on the certificates, as there is a good chance Mom will put off pampering herself and you would not want the gift to expire before she has a chance to use it. In compliance with the law, gift cards don't expire for at least five years from purchase. Those might be your safest bet. • Verify a business. Mom may love a cute boutique that just opened; if she really likes a particular new business, take her on a shopping spree at the store instead of buying a gift card. • Skip the chocolate overload. Flowers and chocolates are traditional Mother's Day gifts. However, calorie-conscious women may not want to be faced with the temptation of a warehouse-sized box of chocolate treats. If Mom truly loves chocolate, treat her to a gourmet piece or two, but don't make that your main gift.
• Avoid "final sale" items. It can be tempting to peruse the deepdiscount rack at Mom's favourite store when retailers cut prices on items in anticipation of a new season. However, these sales may come with restrictions on returns or exchanges. Unless you know Mom will like what you pick out, avoid the "final sale" racks in favour of items that can be returned or exchanged.
At Cookie’s Grill we love our Moms!
Join us on Mother’s Day and every Mom will receive a gift!
• Ask for a price match. In an effort to keep a loyal customer base, many stores will price match against competitors' ads. Therefore, if you feel more comfortable at a certain store, print out the advertised price and bring it to them. There's a good chance they will give you the item for the same price. This works particularly well for tech gifts that typically go on sale in the days leading up to a holiday or special event.
CALIFORNIA EGGS BENEDICT
• Make a handmade card. Take the time, put in the effort, look deep into your heart and bring to mind the memories of Mom up at 5 am to take you to hockey, up all night with you and the flu bug, or Mom who was always there when you left your Science project until the night before it was due. Somehow this will certainly help you think of the right words you need to express your love and gratefulness.

Show up on Mother's Day unannounced and make her pancakes in bed! • Take her to tea at a little teahouse.. you know the ones where your knees bump the tiny cafe tables? She'll LOVE it. • Make a Jar of Memories: take 52 small slips of paper and write one memory, even just one word, that will remind her of something from your childhood on each and then give it to Mom with the instructions to open one a day until next Mother's Day.

Trends among mom food shoppers Comparison shopping is a way of life for many consumers. In an effort to save a few dollars here and there, shoppers take many routes to get a deal, including utilizing some digital help. A recent report shows women, and mothers in particular, are increasingly turning to social media and store Websites as a means to making food shopping decisions. According to the report “Moms as Food Shoppers:
Grocery Store and Supercenter Patterns and Trends,” which was produced by Packaged Facts from data compiled by the Experian Simmons National Consumer Study, mothers are 43 percent more likely to go online to gather coupons and 38 percent more likely than other shoppers to look at store Websites. Mothers also are using social media and store Websites to plan their grocery store trips. They will scope out which stores are

the shopping process for many moms, the Experian study narrowed down some other preferences. * Organic foods: Thirty-one percent of moms now desire organic/natural foods, but not necessarily locally grown foods. * Convenience foods are still popular. Mothers are more inclined than others to use convenience foods, such as frozen waffles, pancakes, and complete packaged dinner mixes. Snacks and desserts are also bought and consumed in high volumes in family households. * Store brands: Moms are interested in value and will purchase store brands to save money. The Internet and social media has changed the way people shop and is also affecting how many women purchase foods for their families.

offering particular sales and plan shopping routes accordingly. With so many people relying on smartphones for myriad reasons, comparison shopping between stores and checking sales and coupons are a few other reasons women are turning to their phones. The number of apps that are geared to food shopping and meal preparation have increased in response to this developing trend. Several shopping list apps, such as Grocery IQ, Green Grocer, Shopper, and Grocery Gadget, have grown increasingly popular over the years. Some of these apps are integrated with major retailers and can use GPS positioning to match shoppers up with a nearby store. Some Websites even make it easier for shoppers to prepare their favourite recipes. Certain recipe sites enable consumers to create a shopping list with a click of the mouse so that all of the necessary ingredients can quickly be added to a shopping list. In addition to identifying that Web site food browsing is an important component of

Money-saving tips for single moms Life as a single mother is not easy. In addition to the challenge of raising a child without another parent in the household, single mothers face many of the same challenges faced by married parents, only they must do so on just one income. Stress is a reality for many single parents, and much of that stress can be traced to the financial burdens of single parenthood. Single parents often find themselves looking for ways to save money, and the following are a handful of ways to do just that. * Resist the urge to overextend your budget. Many expenses, such as groceries and housing, are necessities. But single parents know there is also tremendous pressure to spend money on things that have nothing to do with need. For example, come the holiday season, single parents may feel pressured to buy youngsters everything on their holiday wish list. It’s easy to succumb to such pressure out of guilt or in an attempt to make sure kids don’t feel cheated when they receive less gifts than their friends. But if succumbing to such pressure will stretch your budget, this might have grave consequences down the road. The same approach can be taken when making big-ticket purchases. If a new car will bust the budget, then shop for a preowned model, ideally one that is dealer certified and still covered under its original warranty. * Explain your financial situation to your kids. Keeping kids in the dark about your finances may lead to trouble or create undue stress. For instance, if kids are not aware that money is tight, then they may struggle to understand why they can’t have the latest must-have sneakers or fill up the grocery cart on trips to the store. But single mothers who explain the idea of a budget and define

that budget for their kids will likely find their kids are willing to cooperate and make good partners with regard to staying within the budget. * Pay bills on time. Allowing bills to go unpaid or routinely paying them late is only adding stress to a situation that, for many single mothers, is already stressful enough. Interest payments and penalties for paying late can quickly add up and turn a significant but manageable bill into an albatross that can loom over your finances for months if not years. If your credit card bills have already spiraled out of control, consult the credit card company to see if you can work out a payment plan in which interest will stop accruing so long as you continue to make agreed-upon monthly payments. Companies may be willing to work
with you, and such a payment plan is less likely to have a negative impact on your long-term credit, something that cannot be said for declaring bankruptcy. * Trim entertainment costs. Another way for single mothers to save money is to trim the amount of money they spend each month on entertainment. Cable television has become increasingly expensive in recent years, but single mothers have alternatives that can be considerably less expensive. In lieu of paying for cable television, single mothers can subscribe to a streaming service, such as Netflix or Hulu Plus, that charges a fraction of what cable companies charge but still offers a substantial amount of current content.

BREAKFAST FOR LITERACY It may come as a surprise to ¿nd out that, each day, some of Chilliwack’s children arrive at school hungry – it’s an uncomfortable truth. Due to circumstances beyond their control, these children aren’t getting the simple bene¿t of a nutritious breakfast. Of course, we grown-ups know all about the negative consequences of malnutrition, and many teachers recognize that a child who comes to class hungry is less able to concentrate on schoolwork, and can also be disruptive and not realize why. For a child, though, hunger is much more personal…it’s mostly about the rumblings in their empty stomach, and about being confused and distracted away from their studies - play-time and other normal kid-stuff just isn’t fun like it should be, and there’s often cranky feelings without knowing why…it just doesn’t seem fair! The kids are right – it isn’t fair, but what can be done to improve the situation? Approximately a decade ago a few concerned parents joined with a
sponsored by:
Rotary Club
few visionary school administrators and approached the Chilliwack Rotary Club with a request for help – and the Breakfast for Literacy Program was born. With Rotary sponsorship and the support of school administrators, parent volunteers began preparing and serving nutritious meals for the kids in need. The kids soon became better able to concentrate on their school-work, their parents got some relief from the worrisome burden of providing essential daily nourishment, and teachers and school administrators could refocus on delivering a fuller education to all students. Today, the Breakfast for Literacy Program is still a thriving success story with 3 local elementary schools serving breakfasts, snacks and some lunches to more than 50 grateful kids each day. The Chilliwack Rotary Club would like to recognize our patrons, being those people who generously contribute to our many fund-raising events – thank you for helping us to feed these kids.

All instruction will happen outside of school hours, one distinction from other sports academies in Chilliwack that happen ‘in time-table.’ University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball bench boss Al Tuchscherer has stepped forward as an associate head coach. “He’s committed to do a percentage of training throughout the year, but he’s only a small part of it,” Mouritzen said. “We’re going to bring in multiple CIS coaches, BC college coaches, trainers, sports psychologists, nutritionists — all from higher levels. It’s something we’ve never done in Chilliwack.” Tuchscherer’s involvement grants access to a vast network of contacts. The amiable coach believes his colleagues will be happy to help in the name of ‘giving back.’
“We’re a surprisingly tight group, and I know in the past I’ve taken my team to Winnipeg and Tanya (McKay, Wesmen head coach) has called me up and said, ‘Hey. We have a coaching clinic. Would you mind doing a session?’” Tuchscherer said. “We’re kind of basketball junkies. We love sharing thoughts and ideas with other coaches and players. I don’t think it will be a stretch getting some of them to run a session for us.” This is the third BC Basketball program to be launched in the province. The other two are in West Vancouver and Burnaby North. Both started this year and BC Basketball would eventually like to see an program in every school district across BC. Mouritzen started talking to BC Basketball last September after they reached out to gauge his interest.

round elite athlete.” One of the most valuable teaching tools in the program will be the ‘different voice’ aspect. Having Tuchscherer run one session, followed by someone completely different should keep the content fresh and the students engaged. “I think there’s multiple ways to get a point across and get to that ‘ah ha’ moment for kids, and absolutely that’s very valuable,” Tuchscherer said. “With 100 hours of instruction, we can change the world in 100 hours. I really believe we can make a significant differences with purposeful instructions and athletes who come to the gym ready to learn.” The registration fee is going to be $900, which compares well with other local programs. If interest is as strong as Mouritzen hopes, a selection process may be required to pare down the list of applicants. “We won’t really know

“The first one, at West Vancouver secondar y school, ran this year with 30 students in Grades 8-9,” Mouritzen said. “They just had their community open house two weeks ago, for next year, and they had 250 families attend. There’s no reason it can’t grow like that in Chilliwack.” BC Basketball estimates most high school players get three to four hours of training a week for 18 weeks — a total of 54 to 72 hours. Canadian Sport for Life believes an athlete requires 10,000 hours to reach an elite level (canadiansportforlife.ca). How the training will look is still being mapped out, though Tuchscherer said they will need to adhere to Basketball BC curriculum guidelines. “There will be an athleticism component and a mental training component,” he said. “It’s not just a morning shoot-around. It’s quite specific to developing an all-

High school basketball in Chilliwack is taking a quantum leap forward with the introduction of a BC Basketball Program at G.W. Graham middle-secondary school. Open to male and female players in Grades 8-10, the program was introduced at Tuesday’s School Board meeting. There will be an openforum community meeting to outline the concept and goals of the program May 20 (7 p.m. in the GWG gymnasium). The program will be housed at G.W. Graham, but GWG athletic director Jake Mouritzen wants to be perfectly clear that this is not a GWG program. It will be open to students from any school within the Chilliwack School District. If a middle-secondary school student in Chilliwack wants to improve their b-ball skills, they are more than welcome to take part in a selection process. “You can stay at your home school and maintain your eligibility to compete in any sport at your home school,” Mouritzen explained. Participating students can receive four course credits towards graduation, and get 100+ hours of training. It will run three times a week during the basketball offseason (September to November and April to June) and once a week during the basketball season. Most sessions will run in the mornings before school, with an additional 10-30 hours of instruction outside of the regularly scheduled sessions. “Scott Allen (Trinity Western University head coach) is on board, but
who’s interested until that open house, but we hope families come out to learn more about this opportunity,” he said. An evaluation camp will take place June 3 to select the 30 athletes who will form the first class. Mouritzen said the selection process will go beyond what the players show on the court. “There will be written requirements with info from references, and they’ll have to show they’re committed student athletes who are capable of managing this,” he said. “We’ll need their school administrator to say they’re an excellent student with the ability to balance this responsibility.” Ross Tomlinson, Basketball BC’s technical director and manager for sport performance, is interested to see how things unfold, and believes the program is in a perfect place. “Chilliwack has demonstrated a long standing commitment to basketball at the youth, club and high school levels, with an established history of player development,” he observed. “G.W. Graham and their staff have made a very serious commitment to basketball and player development. They have a strong desire to work with athletes and schools throughout the school district to elevate the overall level of basketball development.” Tomlinson’s long-range vision is for this to be a pioneering program, blazing the trail for those that follow. “Basketball BC would like to partner with school districts to establish program programs across BC,” he acknowledged. “This program allows students to stay at their home schools, with their friends, while still having the opportunity to pursue their passion for basketball. Participants will undoubtedly bring a higher level of skill enhancement back to their home schools, which in turn will benefit their teammates and coaches.”

Nominations are now open for the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame. The community will have a chance to help choose the class of 2014, the second group to go into the CSHOF.

Memorabilia from their achievements fills the CSHOF display on the concourse of Prospera Centre, and CSHOF president Judy Fitzsimmons looks forward to honouring another wave of Chilliwack sporting greats. “At this time last year I was blown away by the quality of nominations we got, and found it to be an eyeopening experience,”
she said. “I know that our inaugural class only scratches the surface of Chilliwack’s amazing sports history.” Nominations will be accepted up to June 30, and the criteria is outlined on the form. Completed forms cane be mailed to, or dropped off at, the Chilliwack Chiefs office located within Prospera Centre. Nominations can also be done online at chilliwacksportshalloffame.com/nominationform/ “We want people to feel connected and engaged in this process and feel like they have some ownership of the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame,” Fitzsimmons said. “We hope they find the time to nominate a person or team they feel is worthy, and help us as we strive to make the CSHOF a point of pride for Chilliwackians.” ● The public is also invited to the Chilliwack
Sports Hall of Fame’s annual general meeting. The AGM will be held May 28 in the boardroom of the Chilliwack Chiefs office. CSHOF info can be found online at chilli-

Bonnell, Mavis Yvonne
Warkentin, Jacob “Jake”
Is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mavis on May 2, 2014. A loving mom, grandma, sister, aunt and friend. Born in Salmon Creek, N.B. on Nov 1, 1931, she had resided in B.C. for the last 45 years. Mavis was predeceased by her beloved son, Robert (1987) as well as her three sisters, Marie, Lena and Genieva and nephew Dwayne Murray. Mavis is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Lisa (Sean) Reid; granddaughters, Janelle (Rob Masztalar) and Sydney and her grandson Tyler. She is also survived by her brother, Ray (Myrna) Murray, nieces Shirley Kerry (Don), Judy Barton and Janet Humes; nephew, Stephen Hall and their families. Mavis will be remembered as a strong independent woman with great style, a quick smile and a sharp mind. She will be sorely missed by her family. A family gathering will be held on Saturday May 10, 2014 from 2 - 5 pm at 47498 Chartwell Drive, Chilliwack. In lieu of flowers donations to Chilliwack Hospice Society are appreciated. Expressions of sympathy can be conveyed at memoriesofmavis@shaw.ca Henderson’s Funeral Home in care of arrangements.
Passed away peacefully on Monday, May 5, 2014, on the morning of his 68th birthday. He is sadly predeceased by his loving wife Julie, and survived by his son Jamie; daughter Kristi, son-in-law James and granddaughter Olive; sisters Nettie and Anita; brother Henry and sister-in-law Jane; nephew Brad and wife Cindy; nephew Doug, wife Allison and their sons Sam and Matthew. Along with Julie, Jake started Kelowna Steel Fabricators in 1973. During the past 41 years, Jake built countless business relationships and friendships in the community. He exemplified what it meant to do good business, and he always treated every customer, and every member of his staff, with kindness and respect. Kelowna Steel continues to prosper today in the capable hands of his son Jamie. In 1993, Jake and Julie built the log home of their dreams, and always had an open door to family and friends for countless gatherings and good cheer. Jake spent much of his spare time working on his ‘famous’ tractor collection. An active member of the Okanagan Antique Power Club, he took great pride in restoring many of his tractors to their original glory, and sharing them with generations young and old. Until Julie passed away in 2010, she and Jake also embarked on numerous travel adventures, many of which were taken in their much enjoyed ‘home on wheels’. Most of all, Jake was a devoted husband, father, and treasured friend to those who were lucky enough to know him. He will be missed and loved always. A Memorial Service will be held on Tuesday, May 13, 2014 at 1:00 pm at Evangel Church, 3261 Gordon Drive, Kelowna, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kelowna General Hospital Foundation, 2268 Pandosy St, Kelowna, BC, V1Y 1T2. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting w w w. s p r i n g f i e l d f u n e r a l home.com, 250-860-7077.
