Candidates denied ‘voters’ list,’ Harrington claims But the list doesn’t exist, city hall says Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

to Fork was created to bring better awareness to local consumers about all the many great food options that are available right here in Chilliwack.” Jason Pettyjohn, who is coorganizer of Field to Fork, says his family already is entrenched in the locavore lifestyle. They substantially changed the way they live and eat. “We now source the majority of our food from local farms,” he said. “We practise what we preach.” Vita Bella Bistro is one of the five participating Chilliwack restaurants.

Dick Harrington, who plans to take another shot at city council, is accusing the current Chilliwack administration of denying democracy to candidates. Harrington challenged mayor Sharon Gaetz on Wednesday to justify the “decision to keep Chilliwack’s voters list secret.” The retired educator and businessman alleged in a news release that his campaign has been “denied” access to the list of eligible voters in Chilliwack, which could be used to register or contact voters about the issues. But a City of Chilliwack spokesperson said that contrary to Harrington’s accusations, mayor and council “are not involved in the administration of municipal elections and are unable to influence election officials in any manner.” Carol Friesen was appointed Chief Election Officer last summer and is the one responsible for all aspects of the Chilliwack election. Chilliwack follows “poll book” election procedures whereby voters register by signing a poll book rather than creating and printing a voters’ list just for Chilliwack, which is why Harrington was unable to get a copy. “This process saves the time and expense of refining the Provincial Voters’ List to coincide with our municipal boundaries and the cost of updating the list on a regular basis,” according to the news release by the city. “The benefits to this method include a huge cost savings and a significant savings in staff time. “It also expedites the voting process, offering the greatest level of access to voters.” Harrington said it was his understanding that the city “simply had to request the list” from Elections BC in order to share it with candidates, for example, and that refusing it was unacceptable.

Field to Fork set to foster local food Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack is on its way to becoming a serious hub for foodies and locavores with its rich variety of fresh, local food. Field to Fork 2014 starts next Wednesday across Chilliwack, emphasizing local food and showcasing it in local restaurants. “We’re back by popular demand,” said co-organizer Dale Johnson. They have more restaurants and producers involved in Field to Fork this year, which runs Sept. 30 to Oct. 4.

Since the ‘Wack is known as the “Green Heart of B.C.” it only makes sense to crow a little about the abundance of agrifood products and farms that can be found in the area. Cheam Trading Post on Highway 9 is one of the suppliers for Field to Fork 2014, said owner Darwin Douglas. Cheam Trading was invited to supply smoked salmon for a dish to be served next week at Bravo Restaurant and Lounge on Yale Road. “We love that they chose us,” said Douglas. “We’re excited to be a part of it.” The local salmon stand, which

has also brought in Okanagan fruit, has been selling out its stock all summer long. “Sales have been phenomenal and it’s been a whirlwind,” since they opened in June, he said. The second season of Field to Fork pairs five Chilliwack restaurants with Chilliwack area farmers and food producers to create exciting menu items. The promotional event dovetails with the increase in people wanting to know where their food comes from. “The area is rich in agriculture and produces some of the best quality food anywhere in the world,” said Johnson. “Field

Call to block oil pipeline expansion fails at UBCM Jeff Nagel Black Press B.C. municipal leaders have narrowly voted to defeat a proposed resolution from Burnaby to oppose Kinder Morgan’s $5.4-billion oil pipeline twinning. The issue went to an electronic vote Thursday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention after a show of hands was too close to call. The final vote was 49.3 per cent in favour of the resolution and 50.7 per cent opposed. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the pipeline project – which would triple the size of a tank farm near homes in Burnaby and result

in a seven-fold increase in oil tanker traffic through Burrard Inlet – is too risky. He also argued the federal government has no strategy to maximize jobs in Canada by ensuring bitumen is refined here instead of in China. “The risks of increasing oil tanker traffic are all to the down side for the B.C. coast,” said Islands Trust chair Sheila Malcolmson. “We get no benefit, there’s no refining, no jobs for us, our salmon industry’s at risk, our tourism industry is at risk and our first responders who would be on the front lines are at risk.” But delegates from communities

along the Thompson River said they fear a surge in oil tanker trains will run on the rail line through the region if the 60-year-old Kinder Morgan pipeline – which runs through Chilliwack – is not twinned to carry oil sands bitumen from Alberta. “That can be used to move oil and there are no restrictions at all,” Clearwater Mayor John Harwood said. Thompson-Nicola Regional District director Tim Pennell argued the current cleanup response capability for a marine oil spill is very limited in the Vancouver area and the Trans Mountain project would bring a “huge improvement.”

After the vote, Corrigan said he was disappointed but insisted the split vote still sends a “strong message” of concern from B.C. civic leaders. He said opposition came mainly from self-interested rural B.C. delegates who are worried about increased oil-by-rail shipments and who greatly outnumber urban representatives at UBCM. “It shows the scare tactic that’s been put out by these companies has worked,” Corrigan said. “They’ve said they’re going to do it regardless, whether it goes by pipeline or by rail.” But one of the ‘no’ votes against the resolution came from one of

Chilliwack preparing to move forward Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Key factors to stimulate growth and change in Chilliwack’s downtown core — such as mixed-use development and effective density — are going under the microscope.

Burnaby’s closest neighbours – Belcarra mayor Ralph Drew – who said rural communities are right to fear oil trains. “We have to face the reality that the oil is going to move and that the increasing use of rail to move oil is probably a ten-fold greater risk than by pipeline,” Drew said in an interview. “The rail lines that come to the west coast come down the Fraser canyon on either side of the Fraser River,” he said. “The potential for a derailment and a real disaster is much much greater than anything that could possibly happen in transportation by pipeline.”

Following Ryan Berlin’s presentation, Walas Concepts’ reps will present on innovative practices in integrated development, founded on a belief “that a coherent complex of physical, structural and above all socio-economic conditions allow a city to develop a vital and dynamic community of urban life.” Preserving authentic components of Chilliwack’s urban core are part of the Walas approach. Mixed use, effective density and diversity are considered the “keys to success.”

Heather Maahs is letting her name stand again for school trustee in the upcoming election. “I am looking forward to serving a third term on the Chilliwack Board of Education and continue to help improve and build education excellence for our students,” she said. Implementation of the Special Education Review, which she heartily endorsed, is something she hopes will continue to be implemented. “I’m encouraged we now have a fully functioning and transparent finance/budget committee with employee groups, parents and community members.” Maahs served as CUPE liaison and sat in on recent negotiations. “I have also enjoyed meeting many teachers and parents who have brought their concerns, opinions and ideas to me. I am constantly impressed by their dedication, their enthusiasm and the innovative approach they bring for the children of Chilliwack and I hope to be in a position to be able help advance their cause.” Walt Krahn also announced he will be running again on his Facebook page. “I have decided to seek a second term as a School Trustee,” Krahn said. “Our students, teachers, staff and community are so important, and my focus is on providing young people every opportunity to build success. He asked that people share his message that: “We are all in this together!” First-time candidate Paul McManus, commercial account manager at Chilliwack Ford has also decided to run for school trustee. He’s been active in the school community as a coach, fundraiser and chair of the Promontory elementary school. Dan Coulter is making plans to run for re-election. “I have been a trustee for less than a year and I believe I have a lot more to offer so I’m running again. “I’m really passionate about education and I want to continue to contribute.”

Cities want medical pot grow-operations revealed Jeff Nagel Black Press B.C. cities are once again demanding Health Canada give them the addresses of licensed medical marijuana growers so they can mount inspections in the name of public safety. The resolution from Abbotsford – a repeat of past years’ requests – was passed Wednesday by the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Whistler, despite opposition from some delegates over privacy concerns. Cities fear unpermitted alterations, illegal rewiring and mould pose a risk not just to current residents but those who may in the future buy former growops that aren’t remediated. “The safety of our residents and the safety of people buying these homes has to be paramount,” Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman told the convention. The federal government is moving to a commercial mail order model of medical marijuana production, but that strategy is on hold pending court chal-

lenges from medical pot users. While Ottawa expects the legacy medical pot growers to voluntarily comply with the change and stop growing their own plants – if the new system is upheld – many cities doubt that will happen given the number of licensed users. Banman said there are 829 licensed medical growers in Abbotsford and more than 900 – representing 20 per cent of the homes – in nearby Mission. “That’s a lot of glaucoma in my books,” said Banman, who has

been a steady critic of the federal government’s refusal to identify the sites. He said there are just four Health Canada inspectors to check licensed medical home grows in all of western Canada, adding they could not inspect all of the licensed sites in Abbotsford alone if they were dedicated to his city for a year. Metchosin Coun. Moralea Milne said if the more than 1,700 licensed medical growers in AbbotsfordMission are an indication that “we should be legalizing that stuff if

that many people are growing it.” Central Kootenay Regional District director Andy Shadrack agreed with calls for legalization and concerns around privacy. “On no other health issue do we go into people’s homes and say you’re not doing things right.” UBCM passed dozens of other resolutions Wednesday, including: • A Langley City call for the province develop a method to compensate cities for the time their firefighters spend on medical first responder calls that have increased as a result of provincial downgrading of ambulance response to lower priority 911 calls. • A Vancouver resolution urging the province to regulate the party bus industry. • A call for Canada Post to delay its planned termination of direct home mail delivery. • A request from Maple Ridge that the province exempt up to $300 a month of child support from income assistance clawback rules on earned income.

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

Promises, promises Here’s a simple request for candidates seeking election in the upcoming school board and municipal election: Only promise what you can deliver. That might seem an obvious request. But all too often, candidates vow to achieve things they clearly cannot. They either fail to provide the true cost of their promise, or they promise something outside the legal mandate of the office they seek. Call it exuberance. Call it ignorance. Either way it doesn’t serve the voter and it disrespects the process. For example, there are some fairly severe limits on what a city can and cannot do. It must work within the provincial legislation that governs its existence. A promise to silence every train whistle within the city boundaries might sound attractive, but trains are a federal responsibility. City council can’t make them do anything. Likewise, a promise by a school board candidate to hire more teachers won’t happen without an explanation of where the money to pay for those new employees will come from. School districts (unlike the federal or provincial government, or even a city), cannot, by provincial

law, run a deficit. Which brings up the second point: Money. Rarely does a promise come without a cost, and candidates have an obligation to identify what that cost will be. A promise to double the number of parks in the city, for example, might draw support. But what will it cost to maintain those parks, and what impact will the removal of that land from the tax base have on city finances? A promise to cut taxes, or at least hold them at zero, must also include details on where the cuts in services will be made (or alternate revenue found) to accommodate that plan. None of this is to suggest candidates can’t have ideas or voice creative and imaginative solutions to the problems communities like Chilliwack face. But they have an obligation to voters to ensure that what they promise is practical – or even possible. And we as voters have the responsibility to do the research and ask the tough questions to ensure these lofty ideas have some grounding in reality. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Turning up the heat on climate change action Last Sunday’s climate march in the world’s major cities was a determined clarion call for governments to get off their collective duff and act. Now. Some 2,000 demonstrations made noise in over 150 countries, all with one voice – action on climate change. The People’s Climate March took over much of New York’s Manhattan Sunday where more than 120 heads of state gathered for Tuesday’s UN climate summit, a meeting designed to focus negotiations for a new strategy to manage climate change. They’ve got just over a year to squabble their way to a new agreement set for December 2015 when signatory countries to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change meet in Paris. Maybe they can get beyond the endless blame-yourneighbour mentality and actually come up with a deal that works. The number of countries repre-

sented was the largest ever at a climate summit. But it was also notable by the absences. PM Harper was a no-show as were heads of state from China, India and Russia. In 2008, the top carbon dioxide (CO2) emitters were China, the United States, the European Union, India, the Russian Federation, Japan, and Canada. Margaret M a r c h i n g with the throng EVANS of an estimated 300,000 people in Manhattan was UN SecretaryGeneral Ban Ki-moon. “While marching with the people, I felt that I had become a Secretary-General of the people,” he said. “I am the SecretaryGeneral of the United Nations; I am now working for the people.

Let’s work together to make this planet Earth environmentally sustainable so that our succeeding generations – children after children – will live peacefully.” It’s daft arguing whether or not the climate is changing and the world is warming. Evidence is everywhere. It can be subtle like longer, hotter days, opportunistic (for some) like melting sea ice opening up shipping lanes, or it can be catastrophic like last year’s supertyphoon Haiyan in the Philippines that packed sustained winds of 315 km/hour with gusts reaching 380 km/hour. But we don’t have to look far for the record breakers. “With mean temperatures at 21.45 C, a record breaking 3.55 above normal, it was the warmest August since Chilliwack records commenced in 1881,” said Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. “It

was the 14th consecutive year with mean temperatures for the month above normal, primarily because of the abnormally warm nights.” Up to August 31st, the 2014 precipitation total is 902.7 mm on 115 days compared to the average of 1,047.8 mm on 106 days, Pannett said. This year the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued its Climate Change 2014 Report addressing impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability. The breakdown is indeed dire. It listed five integrated reasons for concern that illustrated the implications of warming and the limitations of people, economies, and ecosystems. They include the danger and destruction of extreme weather events, the uneven distribution of impacts for disadvantaged people, the potential for collapse of unique ecosystems, aggregate economic damage as temperatures rise, and

the complexities of large-scale singular events. These massive events include the collapse of Arctic ecosystems through sea-ice melt and the destructive bleaching of warmwater coral reefs in which heat stress damages the algae living symbiotically inside the corals leading to coral death. It all feeds back into the loss of biodiversity, human health, food production, water supply, security risks, and human migration and displacement due to storm surges, coastal flooding and sea level rise. We are already starting to see these events. Major hurricanes, storms, floods, crippling heat and drought are far more frequent. “There is no Plan B because we do not have Planet B,” said Ban Ki-moon last Sunday. “We have to work and galvanize our action.” Yes, we do.

The sound of the bagpipes echoed through the streets of downtown Chilliwack Saturday, helping mark the 100th anniversary of the formation of the United Empire Loyalists in Canada. Dan McDermid set the mood, perched above Spadina Ave. outside Chilliwack’s historic former city hall, now the Chilliwack Museum. GREG KNILL/ THE PROGRESS

See the people behind the label I read carefully the letter regarding habitation of the area under the Yale Road overpass (Homeless camp a cause for concern, Chilliwack Progress, Sept. 17). It was a very well thought-out letter that addressed the author’s concerns, thank you. I do wonder, however, if in reading your letter you are aware that your

concern for the people impacted by the ‘homeless camp’ you completely neglected to express concern for the human beings who are homeless and respond to this situation by making do with the resources at hand. The labelling we do as modern humans cuts us off from one another. That a person exists is reason enough to be offered

compassion and due concern. That someone “produces an economic output” is one of the poorest rulers against which we measure an individual’s value. Don’t change the situation, change what in yourself resists a human reaction to it. What in you stops seeing a human being? Denny Cote

More humanity needed

Acting like criminals

It is with a gloomy heart that I read the recent letter about ‘the homeless problem’ (Homeless camp a cause for concern, Chilliwack Progress, Sept. 17). I too am concerned about the homeless downtown, but not for the same reasons she is. She speaks about them like some species of large rat that learned to stand up and wear clothing, rather than actual human beings. Her letter concludes

The other day a contractor came to my door and informed me that he was going to build a deck onto the back of my home. I informed him that I did not ask for a deck and that I do not want one. At that point he informed me that he would be charging me a $65 “failed deck installation charge.” Now obviously that did not happen. Why it is obvious speaks for itself. Yet that is exactly what BC Hydro and our provincial government are doing to those individuals who have chosen not to take a smart meter. When our government behaves like criminals, is there any wonder why so many are failing to show up at polls at election time?

with her wondering if the ‘revitalization’ downtown has ‘simply shifted the homeless problem here.’ She expresses interest in hearing the views of others. Well, what did you expect? That ‘revitalizing’ downtown was just going to make all those poor people disappear? Just what do you expect them to do? You want my view? I think your view is shockingly dehumanizing. Cale Esau

to remove then-board chair David Mitchell. Health Minister Terry Lake had said he wanted “fresh eyes” and new leadership as Fraser Health implements the recommendations of a strategic and operational review. The review, which was released over the summer, targeted new ways to cut unnecessary use of hospital emergency rooms in favour of improved primary and community care. Lake also raised the possibility of shifting Burnaby into the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority as well as closer collaboration between the two health regions as they work

to rebuild St. Paul’s and Royal Columbian hospitals. Matty has served as a Fraser Health director since 2012 and takes over from Powell at the end of October. Matty’s background includes a career in nursing in Williams Lake and president of Matsqui Developments, a family-owned real estate and lumber business in the Fraser Valley.

UFV looks back 100 years with Great War Day A century ago, Fraser Valley families were sending their young men off to war, some with a sense of optimism that they would be home by Christmas, others with a

taste for adventure and a desire to see the world. Some felt a sense of loyalty to Mother England and her British Empire that compelled them to travel thousands of kilo-

meters to a continent they’d never seen. It was the first Canadian expedition to the battlefields of Europe. Women also joined the war effort as nurses or homefront vol-

unteers. The next four years redefined war, introduced a new level of carnage wrought by modern weaponry, changed the geopolitical landscape,

and helped Canada mature as a nation. Those who stayed home were affected too, including families and towns that had to cope with almost no men in

an era when their labour was crucial on farms and in factories, and members of ethnic groups who were not allowed to join up. This fall, the University

of the Fraser Valley is looking back at this defining moment in Canadian history with Great War Day: Local Experiences and Legacies. The event will be held on Friday, Oct. 3, in the Envision Athletic Centre on the UFV Abbotsford campus. Admission is free and the public is welcome. Member of the public are also invited to participate as exhibitors. The one-day event will feature memorabilia displays, historical artifacts, military or civilian representations, local memories and commemorative projects, and personal stories. At Great War Day, members of the public are invited to: • Learn about how diverse groups of people in the Fraser Valley participated directly or indirectly in the First World War • Learn about the immediate and longer term impacts of the war on local life • Share with other Fraser Valley residents and communities their personal or familial reflections on the impact and legacies of the war. Local museums and archives from Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack will also be presenting their community’s experiences of the war. “The centenary of the Great War is being recognized in a huge variety of ways all over the world,” said Robin Anderson, an associate professor of history at UFV. “Organizers of these events have been careful not to suggest this is a ‘celebration’ of the war, since this was arguably the most brutal conflict in history. But all also recognize and agree that we cannot and should not forget the Great War. Few events in history have been as formative as the war between 1914-1918 -- we live in a world that was shaped by it. Great War Day is a modest attempt to understand this enormously important event and how it shaped the lives of people in the Fraser Valley.” For more information, or contact Angela Reid at angela.reid@ufv.ca or call 604-557-4075.

Tom Fletcher Black Press WHISTLER – Canada’s first declaration of aboriginal title is the first of many to come across B.C. and it should be viewed as a step forward for relations with the province and local governments, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention were told Tuesday. A standing-room-only crowd of local politicians heard a summary of the June decision of the Supreme Court of Canada declaring title to 1,700 square kilometres of the Nemiah Valley near Williams Lake. The title area is no longer considered Crown land. Alexis Creek First Nation Chief Percy Guichon called the landmark Tsilhqot’in Nation case “the first step to reconciliation” between aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities. “For far too long, provincial and federal governments have somehow minimized First Nations’ rights,” Guichon told delegates. “It only has brought on negatives, such as legislating us to pover-

ty on these small areas they call reserves.” Vancouver lawyer Gregg Cockrill said the declaration of title on Tsilhqot’in lands may be the most significant court decision in B.C. history, and there will be many more to come, either by court rulings or treaties that define areas of aboriginal title. For areas not subject to title declarations, local governments do not have the same legal obligation

to consult First Nations as the federal and provincial governments do, Cockrill said. Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William, whose Tsilhqot’in community was the subject of the landmark case, said the next step is to build a positive relationship with the B.C. government. William praised Premier Christy Clark’s decision to be the first B.C. premier to visit his territory, and to agree to return in October to mark the 150th anniversary of the hanging of Tsilhqot’in chiefs in Quesnel during colonial times. William, also an area director of the Cariboo Regional District, said the next step is to develop Tsilhqot’in laws to govern resource development. In the wake of the federal government’s rejection of a gold mine project in the region, the Tsilhqot’in Nation has developed a draft mining policy. Guichon said the draft has been presented to governments and industry for their input, and the goal is to work cooperatively on resource development as has been done in the forest industry in the region.

Marking a half century in Chilliwack with a legacy gift at Cultural Centre Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The Chilliwack & District Real Estate Board is marking 50 years in the community by presenting a “legacy sculpture” called Visions to the people of Chilliwack. CADREB was first incorporated in 1964 and the modern sculpture to be unveiled Saturday will be installed at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. CADREB and its members believe in the importance of quality of life, and subscribe to the philosophy that “what is good for the community is good for real estate,” said board

spokesman Steve Lerigny. “CADREB sees this sculpture as a contribution to move this vision forward.” The unveiling will include Mayor Sharon Gaetz, MLA Laurie Throness, as well as members of the Chilliwack Public Art Advisory Committee chaired by Coun. Stewart McLean. Artist Jim Unger created the sculpture that he titled, Visions. It incorporates nine copper frames on a treelike structure, which “encourages the viewer” to imagine the past, present and future of Chilliwack. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

READY TO BEGIN A NEW LIFE?

The Soroptimist Live Your Dream Awards program provides up to $2,500 cash grants to women who are working to better their lives through additional schooling and skills training. YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO APPLY IF YOU ARE:

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a mental health intervention developed by Dr. Marcia Linehan that teaches skills in five main areas, including emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness, and walking the middle path. The therapy was developed for people who struggle emotional and relational reactivity, however many of the skills are helpful when applied to all of us who think, feel, and have relationships. Validation is a key skill that can be used in any relationship because it gives the message that the person and their message have value – even when holding differing views. In DBT, there are six levels of validation. The first level of validation uses non-verbal cues like making eye contact, nodding, saying, “Uh huh.” The second level uses basic reflection, or mirroring, to communicate that you are listening to the words the other person is saying. For example, “It sounds like the manager was using a loud voice.” The third level of validation aims a bit deeper

and consists of trying to understand how the other person might be feeling or what he or she may be thinking, such as, “Was that intimidating?” T h e four th level is based on building a connection between how a Marie cur rent reaction AMOS may be related to past events, like, “You’ve hated yelling since you were young.” Level five is about giving the message that the person’s response is understandable, perhaps by saying something like, “I think most people feel uncomfortable when getting yelled at.” Lastly, level six requires the other person to be genuinely regarded with caring and respect. Levels one through five won’t be nearly as helpful if you believe the person in front of you isn’t your equal or of value. Validating a person is not the same as agreeing with their opinion. I can still recognize the value and worth of

someone with whom I disagree on a topic; I can even understand and appreciate why they may hold that opinion. But I can still hold on to my belief and standards at the same time. Or, I can understand why a kid may have pushed a classmate as a response to taunting without agreeing it was the ideal response. The important thing is that the other person’s feelings and perspectives are legitimate and understandable points of view. Practicing validation skills in a relationship reassures the other person that whatever the topic of conversation, he or she –and the relationship itself – are important. This is a particularly useful message when the conversation is challenging, or might spark some strong negative feelings. Use these skills, and watch the quality of your interactions improve; your spouse, child, colleague, and neighbour will thank you. Validation helps move conversation from a tug-of-war to a smoothly running flow. Relationships can be challenging and have their ups and downs, but using validation can make them more rewarding and with fewer misunderstandings.

Liset Stanton tells the story of her son Daniel’s battle with leukemia who was a recipient of umbilical cord blood. Daniel strung one bead for every time he went for chemotherapy on this single piece of string (pictured). JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Putting a face to those helped by blood donations Jenna Hauck The Progress Sometimes an act of kindness that is second-nature to one person can mean the world to another. I learned this firsthand while in Ottawa earlier this month where I heard stories from a handful of blood recipients, and met dozens of fellow award winners, during the Canadian Blood Services Honouring Our Lifeblood ceremony. Celia Missios was one of the blood recipients who spoke during the awards gala. She told the story of when she was struck by a car while crossing a street. She ended up needing more than 50 units of blood. One mother, Liset Stanton, shared her story of her son Daniel.

Diagnosed with leukemia at the age of six, his life was saved by a donation of umbilical cord blood. Another recipient’s story, shown on video, explained that she needed 86 units of blood. Their stories were heartwarming. Each recipient expressed sincere gratitude towards JENNA the award winners HAUCK in the room. I realized at that point, after years of being a blood donor, that I had not heard many stories about the recipients of donor blood and blood products. And though it didn’t bother me at all, I was never able to put a face to who might have received

my blood. I’d go donate blood, have some tea and cookies, go home again, and then return eight weeks later to donate again. It was simple. Last year, after my friend and coworker Penny Lett (who was also an avid blood donor and who encouraged me to donate) passed away, I wanted to do something more. Something to help others. Something selfless. Something Penny would do. So I organized the In Memory of Penny Lett blood drive. Thanks to Chilliwack donors, it was much more successful than I ever could have imagined. We collected 420 units of blood — far more than our goal of 125 units. That was the reason I was in Ottawa receiving an award. But despite the success of the

blood drive, I always said it was “no big deal.” I was one of 28 peer recruiters, milestone donors, volunteers, corporate partners, and others to be recognized in Ottawa on Sept. 15. The night before the awards, each recipient stood up and spoke briefly about their story and why they were there. As the stories kept coming, I noticed a common thread. Humbleness. Every person who spoke hinted at, or flat out said, that what they had accomplished and the reason they were there receiving a national award from CBS was “no big deal.” They sounded like me. Many started off by saying “I haven’t really done much” or “everyone here has a better story

than I have.” But they were wrong. I was wrong. It was a big deal. There was Glyn Weir who has donated 500 times. There was Michael T. Hayes, the living organ donor, who donated a portion of his liver and then later, one of his kidneys. There was Morley Reid who has volunteered more than 5,000 hours of his time to support patients in need. There was Melanie Melchin who, after losing her six-year-old son to a brain tumour, started the Donate for Nolan blood drive last year where she recruited several new donors and collected 103 units of blood.

Be proud to be a blood donor donations made, numbers of units of blood collected. And again, people were saying that the numbers were “no big deal”, that the numbers “didn’t matter.” But they did matter. Every unit of blood counts. Ever y unit makes a difference in someone’s life. Blood donors will likely never meet a single person who they’ve helped. But, fellow donors, understand that the recipients are very thankful for what you do. You do make a difference. So please keep donating, keep recruiting, keep volunteering. And encourage others to do the same. Announce on social media that you’re donating blood and ask a friend or two to join you. Don’t be shy to post

www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1

a selfie on Instagram or Twitter or Facebook while you’re donating — be proud! The more we spread the word about the need for donated blood, let’s hope the more people will donate.

In Memory of Penny Lett blood drive 2014 The pledge for this year’s blood drive is to collect 500 units. As of Sept. 22, we are currently at 455 units of blood, and I have no doubt that we will reach our goal.

Chilliwack donors, thank you for giving your time and blood to help us reach our goal, but more importantly, thank you for helping save people’s lives. photo@theprogress.com twitter.com/PhotoJennalism

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Minor bulbsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in a major way daisies, and I was absolutely in awe when I saw how they were being used in Keukenhof Gardens. The variety called â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;White Splendorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; was used in massive borders and underplantings with virtually every type of tulip and narcissus which blooms during their long flowering period. Their white color tended to lift all the other colors, and when contrasted with the rich green lawns, they were sensational. Anemone blanda comes in many colours, but the new varieties â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Blue Shadesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Pink Starâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;White Splendorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; have lovely bright colors. The mixed varieties look great too. You will find these anemones most pleasing when you plant them under Japanese azaleas, dwarf rhododendrons and Japanese maples. There are still many of these great little minor bulbs we have yet to discover, but I suggest you give the ones Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve mentioned a try. You wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be disappointed.

the yellow aconites (Eranthis hyemalis) and beautiful snowdrops. Both perennialize nicely and create a more lovely display year after year. The yellows and whites really pop in late winter, lifting our spirits and announcing that spring is on its way! The old fashioned bluebells that so many European folks ask for are actually scillas or squills. All of them flower in clusters on leafless stalks and have either bell-shaped or star-like flowers. I like them best planted in informal groupings among shrubs, deciduous trees or low-growing perennials. They are great in pots too and you know, scillas make lovely cut flowers for tiny bouquets. Scilla siberica seems to be the most popular because of its intense blue, three to six inch flower spikes. If you can find it, Scilla tubergeniana is also popular because it blooms very early with the snowdrops. The real sleeper in all the minor bulbs is Anemone blanda. These look for all the world like miniature

them ideal for plantings under large trees where moisture is often a problem. They prefer full sun or partial shade. These bulbs look very effective when mass planted by themselves or used as a contrast with other spring blooming perenBrian nials, MINTER bulbs or flowering shrubs. Muscari are longlasting, have great weather tolerance, and they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t look messy as do so many other bulbs when they finish flowering. Most gardeners plant and enjoy lots of the standard yellow, white, blue and striped crocus, but the sweetly scented species varieties are being overlooked. Crocus chrysanthus provide us with some of the most beautiful and interesting crocus colors. For a yearly repeat performance, the earliest bulbs to bloom are

FRINGE

Over 116 million Dutch flower bulbs have now made their way into Canadian garden stores, import warehouses and greenhouse coolers. As a matter of fact, Canada is the ninth largest Dutch bulb importing country in the world. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m sure it would be no surprise if I were to tell you that tulips are the number one bulb we import. You might be interested to hear that gladiolas are right behind and then, way down in quantities but still important, are lilies, hyacinths, narcissus, irises, crocuses, amaryllis, dahlias, freesias and anemones. The high numbers of some of these bulbs may seem rather odd to the home gardener, but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget, many of these bulbs such as lilies, irises and freesias are grown-on by greenhouse operators for cut flower production. It is, however, becoming more apparent to me each year that we are overlooking some of the very finest bulbs, and they are right under our noses. We tend to overemphasize tulips, daffodils and hyacinths in our gardens, while ignoring other bulbs which are actually better long term investments. A visit to Keukenhof, Hollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s famous spring garden, opened my eyes to the use of minor bulbs. Muscari (grape hyacinths) were used very effectively as borders, underplantings and as drifts of color under trees and shrubs. There are many varieties but â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Muscari armeniacumâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is, by far, the most impressive for mass displays. Muscari are hardy in all zones and will tolerate little or no water in summer. This makes

A German car with a price tag under $15,000 price to compete right in the heart of Canada’s compact segment, our largest sales category. With a starting price under $15,000 the Jetta is the biggest car in the compact class, offering a gateway into owning a German car, yet having the space and comfort North Americans expect. For 2015 VW continues with the same philosophy but ups

the ante to include new engines, styling and interior amenities. Looks: It would be easy to overlook the substantial updates to this new Jetta because the exterior tweaks are so subtle they need pointing out. The front grille, bumper and headlamps have all been replaced to include a bigger air opening and LED marker

lights, plus xenon headlights are available. The back also receives a minor update that includes a new bumper, trunk and tail lamps. With a starting price of $14,990, the Trendline comes with hubcaps on 15inch wheels. The midlevel $20,090 Comfortline can be equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels and the $25,490 Highline is fitted with 17-inch alloys. Then there are the TDI diesel versions that range from $22,490 to $27,790. Volkswagen has a wide range of prices, equipment and engine choices to suit. The most popular is the Trendline Plus at $17,190 that includes the must have…heated front seats! Inside: What isn’t obvious on first inspection is just how far the Jetta interior has come unless you know the previous model. It was a practical car but hardly luxurious or even sporty – spartan might be a good word. That has all changed with the new 2015 model thanks to new switches and dials that looks and

The upper dash on all but the base Trendline is now fitted with soft-touch materials and the base model even comes with a 6.5-inch touchscreen that also doubles as a backup camera. Bluetooth is optional on the Trendline plus but becomes standard on Comfortline and above. The top highline features leather, a bigger 8-inch screen and push button start. What all Jetta’s come standard with is a huge back seat, massive trunk and plenty of room side-toside. This really is a mid-size car that starts at a compact car price. Drive: The drive event for the all-new Jetta was held in Middleburg Virginia, which I later discovered is in the wealthiest county in the United States. Huge homes on rolling farms, with stone fences and colonial designs reminds visitors that this is historic country;

Middleburg witnesses action during the Gettysburg campaign of the American Civil War. The Salamander Resort was the backdrop for the introduction, an equestrian themed luxury resort that would make any new car look good. Surrounding it are rolling hills and winding roads, a perfect place to exercise the new suspension and engines in the Jetta. The previous car was recently updated to a full independent suspension and that carries over, as do disc brakes on all four wheels. The big news is a new 1.8L direct injection, turbocharged 4-cylinder with 170hp but an impressive 185 lb.-ft of torque. Speaking of torque, the new TDI diesel engine pumps out a whopping 236 lb-ft of torque and now comes with “AdBlue” exhaust after treatment to improves tailpipe emissions by forty percent. Verdict: After driving both the new engines back to back I’d be hard pressed to

choose. I love the torque of the diesel and the impressive efficiency. (It is rated at just 6.7L/100km in the city and 4.7L on the highway.) But the new turbo gasoline engine is a more spirited unit provides a more enthusiastic experience. This engine delivers 8.1L/100km in the city and 5.6L on the highway. If I drove a lot, the diesel would be the way to go, but for more, fun the new 1.8L is impressive. Still in the mix is the old 2.0L 4-cylinder with 115hp offered in all Trendline and Comfortline models. This engine has been around since Moses was a boy, but it is a proven engine and offers a great starting price. At first glance the 2015 Jetta looks like a warmed over update but below the surface is substantial change. The highlights are the new interior and wonderful optional engines. Diesel or gas? – That’s a tough decision. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.

At first glance the 2015 Jetta looks like a warmed over update but below the surface is substantial change.

07/14F_OC4

Volkswagen has had an impressive ride here during the past few years, gaining market share and selling record numbers of cars – its best-selling car being the Jetta. When the last VW Jetta was introduced in 2011, it represented a major shift in the company’s sales philosophy. The decision was to make a larger sedan, yet drop the

An encounter with a back bear in the backwoods

’’

Ian Harwood

One nice hot sunny day in August found me in the Upper Squamish valley, four wheeling and fishing along the river. Nothing out of the ordinary happened until a fish and wildlife officer pulled up next to my truck, walked over to the river bank to ask me how the fishing was going. I showed him one Dolly Varden trout that was about 12 lbs and told him I hadn’t had a bite for the past hour. He smiled, wished me good luck and warned me to be careful, as there has been bears in the area including a grizzly. I smiled and said thanks. Two minutes after he left, I was looking over my shoulder every thirty

seconds. I decided to pack up and try somewhere else. I climbed back into my truck and proceeded down the road. The conditions were very dusty and the narrow logging road was covered in a heavy coating of dust. A short way up the road I felt a sneeze coming on. I pulled over and proceeded to sneeze. The vehicle windows were down and it was loud enough to echo through the dust covered tall grass to the left of me. To my surprise, a black bear stood up in the tall grass. He must have been two metres tall judging from the height of my truck. The massive bear strained to see through the dust and make out where the noise came from, lifting his noise in an attempt to pick up my scent. I watched him for about a minute although it seemed like an hour had past. As quickly as he popped up, he was down again and out of sight. I wanted to make sure he was gone before I moved on, so I gave a toot on my horn. Up goes the massive bear again looking around. He was a lot closer this time, so I laid into the horn and revved up my engine. At first he continued to stand tall but soon realized it wasn’t worth the effort to continue. He darted off and

Getting dirty in the Ganaraska Forest Ganaraska Forest, ON. – “Remember, the trees don’t move,” coaches Al Lakas, chief instructor at Trail Tours. These words offer some solace but little consolation to the confines of singe-track riding.

Claustrophobia is not a regularly referenced noun in my vocabulary, but when the local fauna and flora of the Ganaraska Forest are a hair’s length from your body, and the trail is inches wider than the handlebars of your bike,

it’s hard to ignore. The Medusa-like temptation to fixate on upcoming vegetation must be overcome. If you do happen to focus on them, it could be game over. “Oh, shoot, there’s a stum…” Thud.

There goes the front end of your bike and probably you. If you look down, your handlebars might do a jig-like dance, and chances are, that’s where you end up. Down. Breathing through the anxiety is one way of conquering

the trails. Another is a strong foundation in riding. But the most important of them all: vision. Before heading out onto the over 300 kilometres of trails nestled within the 11,000 acres of Ganaraska Forest,

Trail Tours instructor Al gives my riding partner and I a lesson in a much less confining location. Thank goodness. Nestled in the heart of the seemingly limitless dirt biking and motorized vehicle play-

ground is Trail Tours (www. trailtour.com.) It’s just over an hour’s drive east from Toronto and well worth the short-haul journey. After parking the car and walking a few paces through a trail, the world gets a little brighter. Literally and metaphorically. The sinewy trees that lead us to home base doesn’t let in a ton of light, so at the end of the trail, where Trail Tour’s open field training facility stands before me, the sun overflows like a perfectly-iced cake. Also, I’m going dirt biking. How could that not brighten your day? Whether you’re a first timer or an experienced rider, they have a program for you. Though this wasn’t my first rodeo in terms of dirt riding, it was in regards to single-track. I could use all the tips and tricks I could get. Day 1 of the two-day adventure consisted of making sure the techniques for single-track riding were fresh in our minds. It’s best just to ignore the trees or whatever hazards engulf you and the bike. Acknowledge them, but don’t stare. Otherwise, your fate will likely be sealed. After practicing in the various loops – there are different areas of their facility that cater to different techniques – it was off to the practice trail. Needless to say, I was not setting any speed records but it wasn’t about speed. That comes with time and experience. It was getting used to the fact that I didn’t have a lot of wiggle room and that my mind would want to play tricks on me if I didn’t relax, let the bike and myself breathe, and enjoy the best that machine and Mother Nature have to offer. Day 2 was a game changer. I was so happy that I did some basic skills the day before because I embraced the various tones and textures of the perpetually evolving geography around me. Rocks, gravel, soil, sand (oh, there was a lot of sand), steep inclines, tree stumps, sharp corners, you name it, the Ganaraska Forest has it. Though I didn’t go at it alone. Groups were organized by skill level and were lead by continued on page 29

Fall can be an opportune time to snag a great deal on that dream-ride convertible you’ve always wanted.

Bob McHugh

Buy now and park it until next spring! With cooler weather ahead, fall can be an opportune time to snag a great deal on that dream-ride convertible you’ve always wanted to own, like the soft-top edition of Chevrolet Camaro. Chevrolet introduced an all-new Camaro Coupe for the 2010 model year and the Camaro Convertible followed a year later. While it shares many similar styling details, this modern day rebirth of Camaro is longer and wider than the celebrated original ‘67, of the “muscle car” era. Big wheels (18-inch to massive 21-inch rim sizes) are an important design feature of new Camaro and it’s a little taller. The 2011 Camaro Convertible was offered in just LT and SS trim levels. The LT comes with a lightweight and powerful “LFX” 3.6-litre V6 engine. It can generate 323 horsepower and is mated to either a sixspeed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. Revised and more realistic new fuel economy (auto) ratings are 12.9 L/100km in city and 8.1 L/100km on highway. A potent 6.2-litre V8 engine (from the Corvette) lies under the hood of Camaro SS. When paired with a six-speed manual it’s tuned to pump out 425 horsepower. A 400 horsepower edition of this same engine (with more low-speed torque and a fuel saving cylinder deactivation system) is paired

individuals who know that forest like the back of their hand. Heck, I would have been lost after the first two turns. If you found that throughout the day you wanted a more advanced riding, or wanted to take it easier, movement between groups was entirely possible. The name of the game there is safety, with fun at an extremely close second. Challenging yourself, your mind, your body and the bike is all part of the package. And what an incredible way to do it. Trail Tours is open from May until the end of October. Visit www.trailtour.com for more information.

Times T have h changed h d The first-year edition of the Chiefs scored 361 goals in 60 games. They also allowed 323 goals, writes Jacob Bestebroer Hockey season is back, and so is Jacob Bestebroer’s weekly column, discussing the Chilliwack Chiefs and goings on around the BCHL.

GW Graham varsity football star Diego Pineda was wearing a Guelph Gryphons hat this week after signing a letter of intent Wednesday. A standout on the Grizzlies’ defensive and offensive lines, Pineda was being courted by several CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) programs. Guelph is a city in Southwestern Ontario, about 100 kilometres away from Toronto. Pineda and his Grizzlies play their home opener tonight at 7:30 p.m., hosting Delta’s Seaquam Seahawks at Exhibition Stadium. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Chiefs D-man on the radar Chilliwack Chiefs defenceman Vincent Desharnais is getting notice from the National Hockey League. NHL Central Scouting

released its 2014 ‘Preliminary Players to Watch’ list Wednesday. Nine Canadian junior A players are on the radar, including five BCHLers. D e s h a r n a i s , Chilliwack’s towering rearguard and a junior A rookie, is joined by Carmine Buono (Powell River Kings), Brogan O’Brian (Prince George Spruce Kings), Marcus Vela (Langley Rivermen) and Stefan Wornig

(Powell River). Players on this list are identified with an A, B, C or LV rating. A indicates a first round candidate. B indicates a second or third round candidate and C indicates a fourth, fifth or sixth round candidate. Desharnais and the other junior A skaters all received C grades, which means they’ve got some work to do. The BCHL had more

players listed than any other Canadian junior A league. Ontario’s Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) had three players with the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) adding one. Desharnais and his Chiefs play their home opener Saturday night, hosting the Surrey Eagles. Puck drop is 7 p.m. at Prospera Centre.

Three more years for BCHL commish The BCHL brain-trust have signed matching three year extensions that will keep the junior A league’s head office intact through 2018. The men inking deals are commissioner John Grisdale, executive director Trevor Alto and communications director Brent Mutis.

Grisdale joined the BCHL in 2003-04 and his contract will see him through to his 15th season. Alto was hired in 2012 and Mutis was hired in 2010. Under their watch over the last five years, the league has averaged 126 college commitments per

season, which translates into about $2 million in scholarship value to families. The league has also won four RBC Cups as national champions, as well as the inaugural Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup title in 2013. “As we continue to

develop our brand and prove ourselves as a worthy development option for players and their families, it’s important we keep our team together at the league office,” said Grisdale. Meanwhile, Rob Lambie has signed on as director of hockey operations.

Last Sunday was the 24th anniversary of the Chiefs playing their first regular season game. I don’t know what’s more surprising, how quickly time has flown, or how well I remember that first game, a 9-2 win over the visiting Bellingham Ice Hawks. Hockey sure has changed since that first season. The first-year edition of the Chiefs scored 361 goals in 60 games. They also allowed 323 goals. Yup Y up that’s right; average goals scored per game in Chiefs games that season was 11.4. I’ll never forget the early season performance of Chiefs forward Joey Potskin that yyear. ear. He was the first Chief to get the nod as the league’s player of the week and he did it after scoring six goals and 12 assists – in three games. If you’re too young to remember those days, those numbers must seem absurd to yyou. ou. One thing we can be sure of, we won’t see those types of numbers any time soon. We’ll spend plenty of time looking back at the first 24 yyears ears this season but for now let’s focus on this edition of the Chiefs. The team, with 16 new players in the lineup, looked solid in a pair of season opening victories on the weekend. A few things that caught my eye in the admittedly too small sample size of two games: The goaltending is going to be very good this year. Both Aidan Pelino and Mitchell Datz are above average at this level. Evan Defenseman MacEachern looked very comfortable as the quarterback on the power play. He’s extremely quick at recogniz-

ing all the options available to him and usually picks the right one. His setup of Craig Puffer’s goal Saturday nightt was a thing of beauty. As was Jake Hand’s first off three goals Saturday night. Iff you haven’t seen it, check itt out on the Chiefs website. Speaking of defense, the Chiefs are carrying seven defencemen. In games where they are all available and the coaches choose to dress six, the decision on who doesn’tt play will likely not be easy. Tough to predict who will lead this team in scoring. For wards Jake Hand, Jordan Kawaguchi and Craig Puffer all look capable butt there are a half dozen otherr guys on this team that could average a point per game as well. The official home openerr is tomorrow (Saturday) when the Surrey Eagles visitt Prospera Centre. The first 1,000 fans will receive a free fridge magnett schedule and a pair of BC Lions Felions will be at the game signing autographs. Make sure to be in yourr seats by 6:50 p.m. as the rink k will be going dark at that time. There will be plenty of prizes to be won courtesy of Mountt Waddington’s Outdoors. I can’t say much about thatt other than keep an eye on the rafters. Prior to the game there will be a fundraising barbecue run in conjunction by Kal Tire and the Fraser Valley FC U-14 girls soccer team. The Chiefs are planning to send a fan bus to their game in Vernon on Saturday, Oct. 11. The cost, which includes the bus ride to and from the game and a ticket to the game is $45. If you are interested give Andrea a call at the Chiefs office or visit her Saturdayy night at Customer Service. jjb@chilliwackchiefs.net b@chilliwackchiefs.net

Giants hit Ram-sized road-block

Chilliwack’s Baljot Buttar takes on Mission defenders during a junior bantam battle last weekend. MIKE BUTLER PHOTO

Chilliwack’s bantam minor football Giants took their first loss of the season, falling 35-6 to the South Delta Rams in a Friday Night Football clash at Townsend Park.

catch for a major. The Ram running game proved unstoppable, and South Delta had a 28-6 lead at the half. The final score may have been closer had Chilliwack scored on two second half drives that stalled in the red zone.

Hayden Oraschuk started the game with a big play on defence, forcing a fumble at the 35 yard line. But the Chilliwack offence couldn’t capitalize, and the Rams took a 7-0 lead on their next series. Chilliwack battled back on their next series, with quarterback Gabe Olivares hooking up with Ryan Clayton and Brendan Piegsa on downfield passes. Clayton capped the drive with a beautiful

● The junior bantam Giants fell 8-2 to the Mission Niners in a defensive struggle. Chilliwack’s D was led by Mason Murphy,

MS 170 Gas Chain Saw

Corey Lamb and Brock Cote. Offensive linemen Hunter Mullis and Grayson Hardie played well. ● An all-local peewee clash saw the Red Giants top the Blue Giants 12-6. Fullback Austin Martin and quarterback Logan Buchwitz scored touchdowns for the victors, facing a stout Blue Giants defence led by tackling machine Dhillon Myers. Kaleb Readamire also had a strong game. The Red Giants D was equally stingy, with stellar work by Tyler Kelly, Dayton Roger, Daniel King and Gavin

Cleal. Travis Richley came up with an interception and Trent Cote had a game-saving tackle. Cote also recovered an onside kick on special teams. ● Another all-local match saw the Red Giants take on the White Giants in an atom battle. The Red Giants fell 31-19. Quar terback Deaglan Perry had two of their majors on firsthalf touchdown runs. Lead blockers Hayden Strieling and Brayden Fraser helped him reach the endzone. Defensively, Evan Butler had several tackles for losses.

The 3rd Annual

Bring on the rain Muddy mayhem returns to Chilliwack this weekend with the second annual Unbridled Mud Trials at Island 22. Race day is Saturday with the first competitors hitting the course at 10 a.m. This year’s race includes separate competitive waves along with a brand new kids course for youths ages 6-11. The adult course covers five kilometres of mostly flat and very muddy terrain, dotted with 22 obstacles. The top competitors took between 20-30 minutes to get through it last year, with the slowest competitor clocking in at 1:25:06. The event is fan friendly, with several photographical vantage points. Admission is free, but parking costs $5 per carload. Money raised goes to the Island 22 Equestrian Park Society, a non-profit organization that maintains the park for public use. Get more info online at unbridledmudtrials.com and check next Wednesday’s Chilliwack Progress sports section for race results.

UFV women’s hoopsters split with Dinos The University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team rallied to split a pair of preseason games against the Calgary Dinos last week. Playing on their home court, the Envision Athletic Centre, the new-look

Cascades suffered a 58-48 loss in Thursday’s opener. With six players having departed from last year’s CIS bronze medal-winning roster, including starters like Aieisha Luyken, Nicole Wierks and Kayli Sartori, UFV struggled to find chemistry in

the first half and trailed 30-16 at the break. Head coach Al Tuchscherer’s charges played much better in the second half, drawing within two points of the Dinos early in the fourth quarter. But Calgar y responded with a 7-0 run to put

the game away. Shayna Litman led UFV with 10 points, while Sarah Wierks had eight points and 14 rebounds. Sarah Wierks was the difference in Friday’s rematch – the fifth-year centre was dominant, racking up 19 points and 16 boards in a 61-54

IN MEMORIAM

With love, Your family

bcclassified.com

It's been ten years now and I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new, I thought about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence. I often speak your name, all I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake with which I will never part. If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

June 2, 1925 August 25, 2014 Allan Vaughn MacLeod (A.V.), born June 2, 1925, passed away on August 25, 2014 at the age of 89 in Ladner, BC. Allan was born and raised in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. He met his future wife, Margaret Krammer, in Regina, and they were married in 1949 in Kamloops, BC, where Allan began his career with the Kamloops School District. Al spent 32 years in the role of Secretary-Treasurer for SD #24, and served as a President of the BC School District Secretary-Treasurer’s Association. After retirement he chaired the BC Special Olympics committee, and ran for City Counsellor.

They lived in Victoria and Kelowna, finally settling in Chilliwack, BC, where they resided until early 2014. Marg and Al travelled extensively before and after retirement, taking trips to Europe, Tunisia and Ireland as well as winter vacations in Hawaii, Cuba and Mexico.
