Recognition of First Nations needed, says anthropologist

■ L OADING U P

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Formal recognition by B.C. cities that they are founded on unceded aboriginal territories would go a long way toward lasting reconciliation with First Nations, said Dr. David Schaepe. Recognition of this kind by city officials would boost the “fairness” in the relationship, he said. Schaepe was commenting on the move by City of Vancouver to proclaim 2014 as a Year of Reconciliation, acknowledging lasting impacts of the residential school system. The goal was to “heal from the past, and build new relationships between aboriginal peoples and all Vancouverites, built on a foundation of openness, dignity, understanding and hope.” City of Vancouver’s decision to formally recognize that it was founded on unceded territories of three First Nations might just encourage other local governments to do the same, Schaepe said. Although everyone is in the midst of an election campaign right now for local government, he emphasized that his interest in these issues is not political, per se. “This might however be an ideal discussion topic to be raised during the current election campaign,” said Schaepe. Maybe during candidates’ meetings that often get scheduled during elections. “I say this as someone with a background in aboriginal rights and land claims issues. Not as a politician, but as an academic and someone who has worked in the Sto:lo community for two decades.” Schaepe is director of Sto:lo Research and Resource Management Centre, and senior archeologist for Sto:lo Nation. He’s also an adjunct professor at SFU’s School of Resource and Environmental Management, and an instructor of Land Claims at UFV. Any opportunity to raise the profile of that relationship with reconciliation

Hot summer blamed for Sardis Park fish kill Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Visitors to Sardis Park were shocked Thursday morning to see hundreds of dead fish on the banks of the pond. City of Chilliwack staff were dispatched to the park after the phones started ringing at city hall. Early findings from the investigation showed that low levels of dissolved oxygen were to blame for the die-off of between 500 and 700 fish, which were identified as largescale suckers and sculpin.

The water-testing and cleanup were conducted with the assistance of the City of Chilliwack’s senior environmental watercourse specialist. “The testing revealed that the dissolved oxygen levels were not sufficient to support fish life,” according to the city press release. There were no trout or salmonids amidst the suckers and sculpin. It turns out that a minimum of two milligrams per litre is required to sustain fish, and the dissolved oxygen levels in the middle of the pond were at an average of 1.6 mg per litre.

“In order to increase dissolved oxygen levels in the pond, operations staff filled the pond with dechlorinated water and monitored the inflow at the pond to confirm that no chlorine residual was present.” The remaining fish quickly congregated around the inflow stream and appeared to rally. “Staff will continue flushing until the dissolved oxygen levels improve.” The long dr y summer and fall conditions may have played a significant role in the decreased oxygen levels, say officials.

With the water level in the pond so low, and with little to no outflow movement, the water may have become stagnant, causing the deterioration in the dissolved oxygen levels. “The City of Chilliwack has never experienced fish mortality like this at Sardis Pond and will continue to monitor the situation in the days to come,” said the release. Officials expect the fish to repopulate naturally, and will not be replacing them, they confirmed yesterday. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Fraser Valley mayors talk seniors housing, transit Jeff Nagel Black Press Housing and transit issues dominated a forum of Fraser Valley mayors organized by the Urban Development Institute Wednesday In Langley. The panel discussion featured eight mayors from Surrey to Chilliwack – most of them running for re-election – and was moderated by Vancouver real estate consultant Michael Geller. Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman said neighbourhood design needs to take into account the growing numbers of seniors who are used to driving their cars but may be vulnerable to suddenly losing their licence. “The loss of that independence can literally train wreck them,” Banman said. “Their life as they know it can change in a heartbeat.” Developers can help by finding ways to provide housing seniors want within walking distance of the shopping and services they need,

he added. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz also urged developers to design senior-friendly housing that fits into complete, walkable neighbourhoods. “I think we have to get past the idea of these gated communities – I can’t stand them,” Gaetz said. “It really isolates people from each other and lets them live in an artificial world. That may feel more secure to them. But a healthy community has integrated races, people and ages.” Mayors were repeatedly asked how cities can make housing more affordable in the Lower Mainland. Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese said many Fraser Valley communities – including his – need to find ways to get more rental homes on the market. “Not everybody wants to own a house,” he said. The audience included many major development and home construction firms. Froese said developers want to

build as efficiently and profitably as possible, but noted municipalities must plan carefully with an eye to the future. Future residential development in Langley’s Brookswood area will be controversial, he said, but called

it a logical fit with development just to the west in Surrey, where the Campbell Heights industrial park is increasingly a magnet for jobs. Geller said he’s “astounded” at the number of young people in the region who don’t have driver’s

licences or opt for car co-op services instead of owning their own vehicle, in part to save money for a home. But Banman said it makes no sense to reduce parking requirements, particularly in single-family residential neighbourhoods, until adequate transit is available. Providing high-quality transit in the Lower Mainland shouldn’t be that hard, he said, compared to other metropolitan areas that sprawl in all directions. “We basically go east and west,” Banman said. “Don’t tell me we can’t figure out how to move people east and west in a 100-mile corridor.” Surrey Mayor Dianne Watts, who is leaving civic politics to run as a federal Conservative, said attempts to densify singlefamily neighbourhoods with narrower streets and tighter homes can backfire, pointing to the failed “experiment” in Surrey’s Clayton neighbourhood.

Incumbents eye return to city council Jennifer Feinberg The Progress As the clock ticks down and the end of the nomination period for city council nears, there will be at least four familiar names on the ballot. Sue Attrill has already said she’ll be seeking reelection. She’ll be joined by Chuck Stam and Ken Popove, who both announced this week they’ll be seeking another term. Incumbent Jason Lum said earlier that he’s after a second term on city council, and his trademark might be his accessibility. His cell number is listed on hiss business card, and he’s engaged d on social media. As an active member on coun-cil, chairing committees and d working to raise the profile of key y issues like homelessness and flood protection. od protection Lum is also a small business owner, and a member of the Mount Cheam Rotary Club, with deep roots in the community.

Phillip Maxwell seeks seat on council Phillip Maxwell has thrown his hat in the ring for a seat on city council. “My wife and I moved to Chilliwack in 1997 so we could raise our family without the hustle and bustle of big city life and haven’t regretted it one bit,” he said. He’s been an active member of a large co-operative housing complex in Burnaby, and his employment back-

Maxwell said in a release he’s currently seeking employment, while considering a return to school. “Up until now my involvement in the community has been restricted to being one of the administrators on the ‘Beware!

Newhouse, Dixon vie for new Cultus seat Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Measured growth and maintaining livability are two early themes emerging from a couple of candidates seeking to fill the new electoral area seat in Cultus Lake. Sustainability of Cultus Lake is a key issue for Maxwell Newhouse, who announced he is running for Electoral Area H director of Fraser Valley Regional District. “My goals are to generate awareness and co-operatively create a plan that will bring the communities around the lake together for the common good and future of our lake,” said Newhouse, who has been a Cultus resident for 15 years. A key issue will be sewage treatment improvements in the future, given the growing population pressure, and he will devote his energy

to coming up with a plan. “I understand the nature of this beautiful area we all live in and will do my best to help balance the need for new development, without comprising the environment,” he said. He’ll be approaching the position as a full-time job, he said, adding he’ll be approachable and down-to-earth. “I’m ready to do something that will make a difference.” Newhouse, is retired, a children’s author, painter and sculptor, with an extensive background in construction, plumbing and retail. See more at www.maxwellnewhouse.com or email: max.newhouse@telus.net Columbia Valley resident Taryn Dixon is also running for FVRD Director for Electoral Area H. Dixon grew up in Chilliwack and shortly after getting married

moved to Cultus Lake with husband Ron. For 22 years they have been residents of Columbia Valley, and Dixon said she has seen substantial changes over the years. “I have a keen understanding of needs of the area,” she said, adding she favours “responsible growth.” Dixon’s career has included teaching and 19 years in education administration. Communication, relationship building, and problem solving are part of her main skill set and she works with diverse teams to find creative solutions to complex problems. She vows to preserve valuable agricultural land, fight threats to the sensitive air shed and protect the rivers, parks and green spaces. For more info email taryndixon.cv@gmail.com

Quartet of POP candidates introduced Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s not a slate. But four candidates are being presented and promoted as a group by Protect Our Park for election next month to the Cultus Lake Park Board, said POP spokesman Bob McRea. All four individuals have agreed to the values POP stands for: accountability, honesty,

respectfulness and transparency, said McRea, a former Park Board Commissioner. The four POP-backed candidates include incumbents Larr y Payeur and Malcolm Shanks, and newcomers business man Joe Lamb and retired RCMP officer Rose Turcasso. Shanks is standing for election by Chilliwack residents, while the other three will be considered only by

Cultus Lake electors. McRea said he is not running for re-election, and instead is helping out to get these individuals elected to the Park Board. “I felt I could be more effective doing this right now, rather than sitting on the board. I really care about the future of Cultus Lake Park, and we need really good management.” He said Payeur and

News First Nations land recognition and the election LAND from Front at the local level would be a good thing, he said, and what Vancouver did earlier this summer was “an example” some cities may want to follow. Schaepe spent years researching aboriginal rights and title, heritage management, repatriation, land-use, and archaeological research. His PhD is in Anthropology from UBC in 2009. The kind of recognition they’re talking about could go a long way toward greater understanding and awareness of Sto:lo history, he suggested, which could ultimately lead to a greater level of respect. They’re working on making improvements and filling in gaps at the educational level as well, which is key. Schaepe can imagine a day when the Cities of Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Mission, and Langley, as well as local governments in Harrison and Hope for example, formally acknowledge and recognize they are on Sto:lo territory, and that these territories were never ceded through

Mayors talk transit, seniors MAYORS from page 3 “It is an absolute disaster because everybody relies on a car,” Watts said. She then slammed the provincial government for continuing to suggest Metro Vancouver mayors raise TransLink property taxes to fund a critical transit expansion, rather than put proposed new sources of revenue to a Metro referendum. “That’s the way this provincial government wants to go,” Watts said, admitting she’s frustrated. “They want it on property tax. We’ve been doing this for seven years. Now there’s a referendum. They’re still not moving on the referendum. They said we need to take the lead on their initiative. And we’re back to square one.”

treaty, war or surrender. More effort is needed to look carefully at local land-use planning and regional growth strategies impact local First Nations and “to better understand how the Sto:lo fit into the landscape,” said Schaepe. “It’s about looking beyond the boundaries of the reservations to understand the traditional land use on unceded lands, and the close connection that

First Nations have with those lands.” “It would be simple recognition of historical fact,” he said. For example, Sto:lo reps could work in tandem with municipal officials to create “protocols” for use in conducting city business respecting Sto:lo traditions of welcome, blessing, and acknowledgement of the territory. “The current situation is not fair and it’s not healthy,” he said.

Jurisdictional limitations are put forth sometimes when discussing these issues. “It may be time to move to a view of community, rather than jurisdiction, in terms of the relationship,” he said. “It’s about making progress toward greater collaboration, along with a whole and healthy view of community.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Popove said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ready for the hard work Chilliwack needs to evolve. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in this together, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our city and our future.â&#x20AC;? Popoveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first Cultus Lake Beach Party was held in 1987 to raise funds for a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s park that still stands today. He founded Kenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tire & Wheel in 1994, was on the DT BIA board in 2000 and in 2011 he won a seat on council.

While Chilliwack has of the lowest property tax rates in the Lower Mainland, the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s list of needs is still long. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need a strong team of dedicated council members to work together to maintain balance and our enviable debt free status.â&#x20AC;? During the 2014 election campaign, Stam said he will focus on: public safety, agriculture, jobs, transit, environment, housing, recreation, culture, and tourism.Â â&#x20AC;&#x153;I value and strongly support our relations with our First Nations neighbours and senior levels of government as they deliver the much needed services we depend on every day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As always, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m looking forward to our discussions, questions, debates and display of love for Chilliwack from our citizens and candidates in this election.â&#x20AC;?

Finally. After almost two months of guessing, predicting and analyzing, the deadline for candidates in the 2014 BC municipal election is here. The nomination period for prospective candidates closes at 4 p.m. today. Word on who will be running for what is expected to be posted on the city’s official election website by Tuesday, says Chilliwack’s chief electoral officer. Following that we can look forward to an intense five weeks of campaigning. That means all-candidates meetings, photo-ops, plenty of promises, and a buzz on social media. While federal and provincial elections seem to get all the glory, local elections actually have the most impact on the common person’s life. Think about it. Federal foreign policy may be interesting and provincial budget balancing is also important, but it doesn’t normally impact you as much as changes to your property taxes or alterations to your garbage pick up. The people you elect on November 15 have a direct impact on your daily life. They have the power to raise your property taxes, to decide whether to pave a road or allow you to build an extension to your home. Voters get to choose who will make important decisions about their children’s education and to decide who will be their voice in the community. It’s a big responsibility and we have an obligation to take it seriously. The Chilliwack Progress hopes to make choosing a candidate a little easier this time around. We’re compiling a one-stop shop for candidate information that will not only provide the news of the day, but also candidate profiles and Q&As. We’ll also help you find your closest polling station, and tell you what hours you can vote. You’ll find some of that information in print, but a lot of it will be under the election tab on our website at www.theprogress.com. Chilliwack has the dubious reputation of having the second-lowest voter turn out in the last election. We can do better this year. And it begins with being informed. ~ Black Press

Resurgence of enterovirus a new worry for parents A nasty virus has made inroads into 43 states in the U.S. and is working its way across Canada, catching the attention of the Public Health Agency of Canada which notified over 4,000 health professionals to be on the lookout for enterovirus D68 infections. A month ago on September 9th an alert was sent to infectious disease doctors, pediatricians, and epidemiologists through the Canadian Network for Public Health Intelligence. The CNPHI is a comprehensive framework of applications and resources that fills critical health gaps in infrastructure. It is designed to reduce the occurrence of human illness associated with infectious diseases by developing tools to enhance detection, communications and response. It has been mostly children who have been sickened by the enterovirus infection and hun-

dreds in the U.S. have been hospitalized due to severe respiratory symptoms. A four-year-old boy in New Jersey died from the infection. Another child died in Rhode Island last week from a combination of bacterial and viral infections. According to the Rhode Island Department Margaret of Health, the 10-year-old EVANS girl died of Staphylococcus aureus sepis believed to be associated with the enterovirus D68 strain. Children across the prairie provinces and in Ontario have been diagnosed with the virus and nine cases have been confirmed in B.C. with six cases involving children under six years of

age and three children under 10. Seven of the nine are boys and the cases are spread between the regions covered by the Fraser Health Authority, Vancouver Coastal Health, Interior Health and Northern Health authorities. A small number of children have also suffered polio-like paralysis symptoms. It’s rare, but it’s alarming. Children suffering from asthma or with a history of wheezing are particularly vulnerable to the virus. With children now back in school and the ‘flu season approaching, it’s logical to expect an uptick in cold related viruses but, with this strain, any parent would have heightened concerns about the health, safety, and exposure of their children. The current outbreak has been unusual in terms of its symptoms and the scale of the outbreak, basically spanning across the continent. It’s not particularly

comforting to realize that actually very little is known about enterovirus D68 and it has never been associated with such severe symptoms. Apparently, according to one scientist in New York, few scientists have actually worked on it. Scientists at the National Microbiology Laborator y in Winnipeg confirmed that there are five sub-strains (or clades) currently circulating across the provinces and they are very similar to those circulating in the U.S. and Europe. The need now is to sequence the genome of the virus to distinguish it from other types of enteroviruses and cold viruses. Researchers need to know whether it’s a new clade or a variant of a clade and what mutations it has developed that has allowed it to create more severe symptoms or be more infectious. On the plus side, though,

according to the BC Centre for Disease Control, the province has not experienced the clusters of outbreaks that have happened elsewhere and the overall rate of cold and ‘flu-like viruses is about on par with the expected average. This nasty little bug can start out as the common garden variety cold but can unravel into something much more serious very quickly. There are no vaccines and, for children susceptible to breathing issues or asthma, difficulties can rapidly accelerate. Keeping it at bay includes frequent hand washing with hot soapy water, avoid sharing cups and utensils, coughing or sneezing into the elbow, and avoid touching the face. Children displaying symptoms need to be kept home from school and monitored closely. No doubt, parents are holding their kids a little closer right now.

Outgoing trustee offers thoughts During the recent teacher strike several individuals stated I had lost my voice. They were incorrect. Unlike some of my fellow trustees in Vancouver I made a conscious decision to not publicly interfere with the bargaining process. The strike is over. Here are some of my thoughts. My comments are not about teachers or trustees as individuals. They are about their organizations. Some history. I taught for 20 years and hold a permanent professional teaching certificate in Alberta. I was president of my ATA local and an elected member of Provincial Executive Council of the Alberta Teachers’ Association. Up until a couple of years ago I was a member of the BCTF. So I really am a teacher. In addition I have been elected seven times to the position of school trustee – four times in Alberta and three times

in B.C. My thoughts are those of a professional educator who presently happens to be a school trustee. Salary. Teachers in B.C. are underpaid. A plan needs to be jointly developed so that over a predetermined time period the salary of teachers in B.C. more closely resembles the salary of teachers in Alberta. Class size and composition. It depends. Sometimes 40 kids in one class may be perfectly acceptable where 25 in another class might be too many. The one thing that remains absolutely essential is that never ever should the complex issue of class size and composition be part of a collective agreement or enshrined in legislation. The problem. Public education in B.C. is in trouble because of two main groups. The BCTF and the BCSTA/Boards of Education. The BCTF’s approach and mandate

clearly reflect a model designed for labour groups over 100 years ago and not for a group of 21st century professionals who provide an essential service — the need to read and write. Secondly, the BCSTA and Boards of Education are no better. Their model of governance is every bit as redundant and dysfunctional. It is most unfortunate that our government is making every attempt to provide 21st century learning opportunities for students using models of governance dating to the 19th and 20th centuries. What a shame! Maybe the government needs to replace, reorganize or repurpose both the BCTF and the BCSTA/Boards of Education with a functional, current and effective model of governance. It can only get better.

Aug. 15, 2013: Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario, representing 76,000 teachers, recommends that cell phones be turned off in classrooms, and that all Wi-Fi transmitters be labelled as part of a hazard control program. July 5, 2013: Supreme Court of India upholds a decision of the High Court of the State of Rajasthan to remove all cell towers from the vicinity of schools, colleges, hospitals and playgrounds because of radiation “hazardous to life.” The over 200-page November 27, 2012 Rajasthan decision reviews worldwide evidence that cell towers are harming human beings and wildlife. Aug. 25 2012: Israeli Minister of Health Rabi Yaakov Litzman states that he supports calls to action for a ban on Wi-Fi in schools.

June 19, 2012: The Russian National Committee on NonIonizing Radiation Protection has officially recommended that Wi-Fi not be used in schools. Feb. 13, 2012: Citing safety concerns, the Ontario English Catholic Teacher’s Association representing 45,000 teachers, is calling for a ban on new Wi-Fi installations in the province’s 1,400-plus Catholic schools and advocating that computers in all new schools should be hardwired as well. May 27, 2011: Council of Europe passes a resolution recommending wired Internet connections in schools, and the creation of radiation-free zones to protect electro sensitive people. May 31, 2011: Lyon, France, May 31, 2011 ‐‐ The WHO/International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified radio frequency electromagnetic fields as possibly carcinogenic to humans (Group 2B), based on an increased risk for glioma, a malig-

nant type of brain cancer, associated with wireless phone use. Studies are also ongoing and are pointing to upgrading to a type 2A probable carcinogen. The government in Britain is advising against Wi-Fi in schools as is Germany, Austria, Israel and Australia. With all the evidence from other countries as well as the fact that these countries have exposure limits up to 100,000 times lower than Canada and the USA, Canadians can not rely upon Safety Code 6 which is so outdated. A study was done to see if changes were to be made to Safety Code 6 but all of the doctors and scientists involved were either backed by the wireless industry or were not qualified to even be on such a committee. Is our federal government being compensated by the wireless industry the way our provincial government is??? Kathy Read Agassiz

Keep Wi-Fi out of schools A Los Angeles school teacher has won her case to be moved to a classroom where there is no Wi-Fi, only computers that are hard wired to the internet. She has electromagnetic hypersensitivity. Does your child have trouble concentrating in school or feels sick or has headaches quite often when at school? It has been proven that children are more sensitive and can suffer from electromagnetic sensitivity more so than adults. Children should be protected from Wi-Fi and cell phones and any other cordless electronic because their skulls are thinner, their bones are not as dense and their eyes are more sensitive than an adults and therefore more susceptible to the cancer causing elements of cordless technology.

Quilt show blanketed in variety and passion Jenna Hauck The Progress Diversity is the main focus at next weekend’s PieceMaking in the Valley quilt show. “There is such a wide variety of quilts that there’s something for everybody,” says Janet Skulsky, show co-chair, and member of the Chilliwack PieceMakers Quilting Guild. Instead of showcasing a featured quilter, this year they’re focusing on the many talents of the guild’s quilters. About two-thirds of the 80 members will have quilts on display next weekend. There will be traditional quilts, modern quilts, table runners, wall hangings, and art quilts. They range in size from nine inches square, to large 108-inch-by-130-inch pieces. “There’s no limitations with quilting. Quilters can do anything and everything. We just have fun with it,” says Lyn Robinson, fellow

show co-chair. Visitors will find variety not just in the types of quilts, but the materials used as well. One artist incorporates pottery with her quilts. Another transfers photos onto her quilts. Some use soldering irons to cut the fabric. There will be metal, extension cords, beads, and burlap sacks sewn into some pieces. Others have been spraypainted with car paint, hand-dyed, and hand-painted. “I like the fact that there are no boundaries,” says Skulsky. “I don’t just use fabric, I use other things. I like to do art quilting and handwork.” “They are not just a bed quilts, they are pieces of art,” she adds. The ‘community quilts’ section is new this year. On display will be quilts hung and used throughout the community including an interchangeable nursery rhyme quilt made by Friends of the Chilliwack Libraries, a quilted book at the

Sardis Library called ‘Rhyme Time’, a nurse’s quilt made by people at the Chilliwack Public Health Unit, and a scenic one featuring various buildings and sites in Chilliwack. The latter quilt was made in 1979 by 30 members of the Heritage Quilters. They sewed 20 appliquéd blocks which include various local scenes such as the old courthouse, Cultus Lake, St. Thomas Church, and Coqualeetza. There will also be demonstrations throughout the weekend. Ursula Yeo is one of a handful of guild members who will be leading one of the demos. She’ll be showing quilters the different ways of using fabric scraps, and how to organize the tiny pieces. Yeo will also do a wrap bowl demo (bowls made with coils of fabric-wrapped rope), and scrap quilting. Other demos include English paper piecing, hand quilting, and half- and quarter-square triangles.

PieceMaking in the Valley also features the Merchants’ Mall with about 10 vendors, and a tea room with sandwiches, desserts and tea and coffee. “There is a huge amount of variety. It’s our chance to show off, but it is a fundraiser to promote the quilting in our community and raise funds to make the quilts that we donate,” says Robinson. Each year, the guild donates 140 ‘We Care’ quilts to places such as the Chilliwack Hospice Society, Ann Davis Transition Society, and Better Beginnings. “One mom from Better Beginnings was so thrilled because it was the only thing handmade that her baby had,” says Skulsky. They quilt because they’re so passionate about it. “We really get carried away. Quilting just sucks you right in,” says Robinson. “A lot of us just make them to give them away; it’s something to be able to feed

your habit.” Their significant others think they’re a bit crazy. “Our husbands say ‘they buy perfectly good fabric, cut it up and then sew it back together again.’ But that’s what quilters do,” laughs Robinson. And it’s worth it. You can’t even compare a store-bought quilt with a hand-made one, she says. “The fact that you can bring something up and tuck it around you — that’s what makes a quilt,” says Robinson. “It’s just an amazing feeling because you know that someone has made it.” PieceMaking in the Valley runs Friday, Oct. 17 from 5 to 8:30 p.m., and Saturday, Oct. 18 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The show will be held at the Chilliwack Alliance Church at 8700 Young Rd. Admission is $5, and husbands and children under 12 get in for free. photo@theprogress.com twitter.com/PhotoJennalism

Drive What you can’t see is the 317 kgs that the ‘15 F-series has lost, thanks to that aluminum body and the increased use of high-strength steel in the frame – but, you can certainly feel it while driving. The truck is nimbler, has less wash in the corners and simply handles better. The cab is virtually silent and for comfort, the HVAC is split side-toside, front and rear. The hood and side windows have dropped in profile for better visibility, while the size, colours and quality of the computer generated gauges and controls simplifies operation while driving. I towed with the new truck and its manners are good if not improved. In part, this is assisted by the long list of towing features like trailer sway control; tow/haul mode; Dynamic Hitch Assist, SelectShift transmission and better tow mirrors. Off-road an electronic manual rear

differential locker has been added. This truck churns mud better than ever. Verdict Payload is up (to 900 kgs) and so is towing (approx. 5.5 tonnes) yet overall body weight is down by 317 kgs. Ford offers four engines and even the smallest 2.7L EcoBoost will still tow up to 3.8 tonnes. The cab is quieter, yet larger. The floor is flat yet has more storage compartments. The dash is less cluttered yet offers more information. Do you sense a theme here? Consider that the design phase of this truck took four years and the testing was the most intense ever. The result? A list of improvements a hockey rink long – that’s a fact. Now, how will they all work together? Well Ford’s claims will have to play out on roads, across Canada, in the coming years. But from what I’ve seen in Texas, I’d say Giddy Up!

Question of the Week The all-new Ford F-150 graces the front of Driveway this week as it looks to maintain its constant premier position as the truck of choice. What do its rivals have to do to make a bigger mark in sales? Go to DrivewayCanada.ca to submit your answer. QUESTION

Families who dirt bike together are totally together With the distractions of technology, smartphones, television programming, life, video games and more, it can be tough to find an activity in which the whole family can participate, let alone enjoy.

Age differences between children, gender, and general interests can vary greatly. My brother and I couldn’t be more opposite. Rest assured, there is hope and some of it comes in the form of two

wheels. Scott Ponuick, marketing and promotions manager at Popkum Motor Park, in Rosedale, raced snowmobiles and ATVs as a child. And he road raced for many years of his life.

He also grew up around the racetrack as his father raced stock cars. You could say motor oil runs through his veins and that motor oil has since been passed to his family.

He mentions: “Before we had kids, I bought Christine (his wife) a bike; a Honda XR 86,” since she showed interest in the sport. For all the time that Christine cheered on her husband, it

was time for her to get in her own saddle. He fixed it up and it ran like new. She loved it. She explains: “It was fun watching him, but I’d rather be out there too!” Not too long after that, Chris-

tine became pregnant with their first child. “Before she (Taylor) was even born, we started talking about what bike we should get her and getting gear ready for her for when she was old enough,” Christine says. By the time Taylor was two years old she was on two wheels. With training wheels, of course. Then again, you could argue that she was on two wheels much before then because the only way she’d fall asleep as a baby was when her dad would ride her around the back yard in a harness. “She always wanted to get on the bike,” Christine recounts. “Taylor always wanted daddy to take her around.” Now that Taylor is six and her little brother, Chase, is three, they both can ride their own bikes and have a blast doing it. At home, the kids are on Oset electric trials bikes. They don’t make any noise so they can play in the back yard until the batteries run out! There’s also a “throttle” modulator that makes sure the kids can’t get themselves into too much trouble. Scott and Christine consider themselves very lucky because everyone in the family loves to get out onto the trails, even if they aren’t moving very quickly! “It’s so cool to see Taylor and Chase progress,” says Scott. Even though Scott’s employment brings him to Popkum Motor Park weekly, he said that he’d still take the kids on dirt bikes regardless. “It’s such a great way to build motor skills, coordination, a love of the outdoors and you just create so many memories together.” He talks about the families who come out to the Park. Moms, dads, and kids alike take to the track. “There’s one family that comes to mind… I’ve continued on page 19

watched the kids grow up over the last 12 years. For example, the dad and daughter will show up, and then they’ll turn laps together. And then they pull over and chat about their laps and the things they can work on.” Christine comments: “You value time together more when you’re all doing something that you all love. As a full-time working mom, I’m so grateful we have riding as a common bond.” Some might be concerned about safety when it comes to speed and kids. But like any other sport, with the proper equipment, training and supervision, dirt biking is quite safe. And did I mention fun? “I couldn’t think of a better way to spend the day,” Christine remarks. For more information on getting your kids (or yourself!) on two wheels, visit www. popkummotorpark.com

Dream machines at City of Light By Zack Spencer

PARIS, FRANCE – The Paris Auto Show is one of those must-visit events for those of us charged with reporting on the latest and greatest new vehicles. So many manufacturers now develop products for a world market so these early European shows often offer a glimpse of what’s coming next to our shores. Here are five machines that caught my eye. Lamborghini Asterion: Let’s start with a dream machine. The Lamborghini Asterion concept car was certainly a showstopper. Sidestepping the current design approach of angular shapes with hard edges, this new Lambo has a more curvaceous look that almost mimics a front engine car. What is wedged in the middle of this exotic is a hybrid system that marries a naturally aspirated 5.2L V10 engine with three electric motors, producing a whopping 910hp with acceleration that will see this car run to 100km in just three seconds. The Asterion is capable of running on just electric power for roughly 30km and, providing silent driving in a wickedly sexy machine. This is a just a concept at this point but with mounting pressure on car makers to reduce carbon output and the fact the Porsche brand (Another VW Group brand) already has the 918 hybrid, this looks like it could make it to market within the next few years. VW Golf Alltrack: Ok, now back to earth. With the trend towards all-wheeldrive (AWD) gaining more and more momentum it was only a matter of time before cars previously without AWD start to appear with this option. Take

the popular VW Golf wagon, soon to be available in Europe with AWD and a slightly higher ground clearance. Called the Alltrack, this more rugged looking and capable VW will certainly appeal to buyers of the Subaru Outback or Audi Allroad. In North America, we don’t buy many wagons but we certainly love when manufacturers add a slightly higher ride-height, lower body cladding plus AWD and call them a crossover vehicle. Not available in Canada but after chatting with VW Canada executives, they have put in a request to Germany to get this car for our AWD-loving climate. Stay tuned. Toyota i-Road: Imagine a pure electric, three-wheel, scooter-like vehicle, with a fixed roof, steering wheel and can drive up to 45km/h with 50km of electric range. The Toyota i-Road attracted big crowds when it was demonstrated at this year’s Paris Show. The small wheel at the rear of the i-Road pivots at low speed for amazing maneuverability, plus when driven at higher speeds the entire vehicle tilts over like a motorcycle with the front wheels rotating independently of each other. It looks odd and must feel odd to drive but the upside is covered driving, without a helmet, and emissions free transportation. The i-Road is being tested in Japan and will be used in the French city of Grenoble as part of a vehicle-sharing program. This would not be popular on our wider roads in North America but the i-Road will fit right in on Europe’s busy streets. Fiat 500X: The Chrysler Groups’ parent company Fiat is at it again, taking the best that its European brands have to offer and marrying them with American brands. The Fiat 500L has had a mild reception

Casino Royale www.theprogress.com

here in North America so now they have taken the same platform and produced the Jeep Renegade. To complete the circle, the same Renegade approach is being used with this Fiat 500X, basically, taking the same Jeep-like elements and making them into a Fiat. The 500X will be available with front wheel drive (FWD) or AWD and a variety of engine and transmission options in Europe. The engine choices have not been divulged for our market but expect to see the 170hp 1.4 turbo 4-cylinder and the 184hp 2.4L 4-cylinder engines here.. Volvo XC90: Will the introduction of an all-new, full-size XC90 SUV be enough to save Volvo here in North America? Time will tell but the crowds at the Volvo stand in Paris were packed with people combing over every pert of this attractive SUV. It has been over ten years since Volvo introduced the original XC90 and the years have not been good to this vehicle or the brand. Sales for the XC90 and Volvo in general have been pathetic in North America. This new XC90 has a lot going for it and Volvo hopes it will help revive the brand. The XC90 will be sold in Canada with AWD in the T6 or T8 engine variants. Both are turbocharged and supercharged and are matched to an 8-speed automatic. The T6 has 320hp and the T8 comes with an additional 80hp electric motor for improved power and efficiency. The dash is a standout with a vertical iPad-like application in the centre for class-leading connectivity and usability. The price of the T6 will start at $60,700 and the T8 will start at $73,400.

It also gives caregivers a better idea of what to expect as the disease progresses. “With this new understanding caregivers become empowered and they are ultimately more resilient on the dementia journey,” she says. “Self-care is a big part of that journey,” adds Weir. “When supporting a person with a chronic illness such as dementia, it is vital that caregivers take care of their own physical and mental health as well.” It is essential to recognize the signs of burn-

out and be able to deal with stress. Fortunately, the Society can offer plenty of help. It begins with the free Family Caregiver Workshop, which runs on five Wednesdays beginning on November 5 in Chilliwack. It provides practical techniques and strategies that caregivers can begin using immediately. Topics to be covered include: • Understanding Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. • Effective and creative ways of facilitating communication with a person with dementia. • Understanding

behaviour as a form of communication. • Self-care for the caregiver. • Planning for the future. The workshops run from 2 to 4 p.m. on November 5, 12, 19, 26 and December 3 at Evergreen Hall’s Slesse Room, 9291 Corbould Street. Pre-registration is required. To register contact Jude Weir at 604-702-4603 or jweir@ alzheimerbc.org. The Society has other free resources for local residents, including support groups.

Perspectives ships. DBT was, and still is, considered the go-to therapy for a condition known as Borderline Personality Disorder. A prominent feature of Borderline Personality is marked emotional dysregulation and poor distress tolerance. Rob DBT then feaLEES tures a number of strategies to help people develop better means of dealing with distress, such as improving social skills, learning to tolerate unpleasant emotions, improve self instruction and being calmer to the present

moment. These same strategies can be helpful in a wide range of situations, not just with people who fit the borderline description.Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Distress comes in many sizes: the death of a loved one, a relationship break up, not being able to find a parking spot when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re late, or hurting someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s feeling when you didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t intend to. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worrying about the future. Kids worry about being accepted by other kids, not being bullied, being successful and belonging. When I was growing up, a lot of kids worried about the prospect of nuclear war. I suspect today kids have worries about the world events they are exposed to, as well as the traditional fear that

something bad will happen to their parents or guardians. To contrast distress tolerance methods, think of alcohol and drugs, gambling, raging, compulsive eating, and self- harm, such as cutting. Then think of taking a hot bath, deep breathing, yoga, listening to beautiful music, and being mindfully in the moment.Â Â Some coping strategies have more to do with how you take control of your thoughts. Sometimes when in distress there can be a tendency to beat yourself up with thoughts like â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re such a loserâ&#x20AC;? , â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re out of controlâ&#x20AC;?.Â In contrast I appreciate this statement from DBT skills training: â&#x20AC;&#x153;My Continued: COPING/ p26

Few of us sail through life without experiencing distress. Whose job is it to prepare us to handle the uncomfortable physical and emotional aspects of distress Parents?Â Schools? Churches?Â I suspect most of us develop our own coping skills from a variety of sources.Â An important message for parents is that children often learn how to cope with distress by watching you, so be mindful of what you are doing. What tools do you use to cope when life gives you lemons? In her column, Marie Amos spoke about a skill from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) for improving interpersonal relation-

Perspectives Info on pensions

Building stronger coping skills means accepting that bad things happen, that people make mistakes, that we hurt and fail each other, and that life is never guaranteed. Sometimes we hear others or ourselves say, “It is what it is.” This is the voice of acceptance of life on its terms. There is a time for challenging what is, for applying our energies towards improving life for ourselves, our fellows, our race and the planet. Even our efforts to change the way things are can be improved if we first radically accept things the way they are now.

COPING from page 25 thoughts don’t control my life, I do.” Or try these: “This situation sucks, but it is only temporary,” or “ I can ride this out and not let it get to me.” DBT coaches clients towards radical acceptance of life as it is. Sometimes things happen to us or we cause things to happen that we dislike, revile or hate, but attempting to deny their reality only compounds our suffering. DBT teaches us that suffering that we accept is suffering we can moderate. It is our desire to have things different that increases suffering. Deciding to tolerate things that are painful is a powerful act of will. Radical acceptance

S Strong trong start The Chilliwack Chiefs are unbeaten when recording 31 or more shots, writes Jacob Bestebroer

A competitor makes her way through the ‘culvert crawl’ obstacle during the Muck MS event on Sinclair Road in Chilliwack on Saturday. It was one of 12 obstacles on the 5km course. A total of 650 people registered for the event and $93,000 was raised for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Canada. In Canada, 100,000 people have MS, and three new people are diagnosed each day on average. Canada has highest rate of MS in the world. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Fan favourite fitting in fine The day he acquired Rory Bell in an offseason trade, the first thing Chiefs head coach Jason Tatarnic said about his new acquisition was, “This guy will be a fan favourite.” Bell, a 19 year old forward from Mississauga, ON, does have the type of game that fans, and coaches, find endearing. He skates and hits hard. It can’t be coincidence that he wears No. 21, the same number Tanner Cochrane sported as Chilliwack’s last fan fav. “I am a bang and crash player who likes to pound the D, and I guess that’s an exciting game for the fans to watch,” Bell said. “I don’t play slow. I play upbeat, oldschool hockey.” Bell plays the way he does because of the toolbox he’s been given. At six-foot-two and 200 pounds, he’s a wrecking ball on skates.

“The way I play has been line between clean and dirty encouraged, obviously, but play. Cochrane sometimes most times it’s something you have or don’t,” Bell said. tipped over to the dark side, “After a game against me I’d but Bell tries his best to play like to think my opponents hard within the rules. “I think I’m naturally not don’t like me.

league, with a hard working team that swept three out of four rounds,” Bell said. “We won the Dudley Hewitt Cup (Central Canadian hockey champs) and came to Vernon for the RBC Cup. That’s when I really fell in love with BC hockey and wanted to make the move out here.” Bell scored his first BCHL goal in dramatic fashion last weekend, sniping the overtime winner in a 2-1 victory over Prince George. “I’ve been progressing offensively and I want to keep putting up better numbers and keep getting stronger,” he said. “As for the team, we’re looking good so far and I think we have a deep team that could have a shot at a championship.” Bell’s Chiefs host the Merritt Centennials Friday night at Prospera Centre (7 p.m.) start). They visit the Vernon Vipers Saturday.

An early season test for a roster with only six returnees saw the Chilliwack Chiefs earn a split on the road in Prince George last weekend. w eekend. Down 3-0 after 20 minutes Friday night, the Chiefs made it interesting, getting as close as 4-3 in the middle period before falling 6-4. After A fter that first period the Chiefs were the better team for the next five plus periods that included Rory Bell’s overtime winner w inner in the second game Saturday night. For ward Jake Larson had two goals Friday and another one Saturday, also helping set up Bell’s OT winner. The key play in Larson’s tying goal was a shot block by Brandon Potomak. Unfortunately that shot block may keep him out of the lineup for a while. The video shows him in immediate pain after the puck hits him. Defenceman Mark Esposito may miss some time win an injury as well. Expect a close tight checking affair when the Merritt Centennials come to town Friday night. The two teams met a few weeks ago in Chilliwack with the Chiefs eking out a 2-1 win. w in. The Chiefs then hit the road for their only vvisit isit of the season to Vernon V ernon Saturday night. Time for some early season stats that may only be interesting to me. The Chiefs are: 3-0-00 when scoring first, the only team to have won twice in overtime, 4-00-0 when outshooting

their opponent, 3-0-0-0 in one goal games and 3-0-0-0 when recording 31 or more shots. But here is my favorite. Chiefs head coach Jason Tatarnic has used his timeout in every game this season, including the four pre season games. Typicallyy if a coach uses a timeout, it’s late in the third period of a close game. Not Tatarnic. He’ll use it at the most surprising times including the firstt period. Don’t be surprised if he keeps it up and calls one in everyy game this season. If you are looking for some non-BCHL L hockey to watch this weekend, the annual Chilliwack Bantam AAA A Tournament runs this weekend with some off the best 14 year old players in BC participating. It will mostly be played at Twin Rinks starting at noon on Friday with the final going at 2 p.m. Monday. There’s a sign hanging below the suites att Prospera Centre thatt reads, ‘Friends of the Chiefs.’ If you’ve ever wondered what it means, wonder no more. A Friend of the Chiefs has purchased 28 tickets to every home game to be donated to members of the community so they can enjoy a game from Prospera Centre’s largest luxury suite. So if you are a memberr of a local organization looking to reward yourr members with a nightt out at a Chiefs games, give Andrea a call at the Chiefs office. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Midget Giants blast Bengals Chilliwack’s final scoring strike, and Trey Isaac was four-for-four on point after kicks. The Giants and North Surrey Bears clash tonight (Friday) in a massive clash at Townsend Park. The first Friday night midget matchup in five years kicks off at 7 p.m.. Chilliwack’s midget football Giants are 6-0 to start the season after pummelling the Cloverdale Bengals last weekend. The Giants beat the Bengals 29-6, doing most of their offensive damage in the first quarter. Marius Anghel caught a Josh Pretty touchdown pass to open the scoring, and Chilliwack led 21-0 through 15 minutes. They would have had more if not for a fumble at Cloverdale’s one yard line. Pretty hooked up with Ben Richards for

● Chilliwack’s peewee Red Giants kept their perfect record (6-0) intact with a 36-0 win over Mission’s Niners. Chilliwack’s offensive line of Logan Head, Davies Mitchell, Tyler Kelly, Taylor Both and Daniel King paved the way for the Giant attack. King was a defensive standout as well, recording four quarterback sacks. Theo Smith and Austin Wegener took down the Mission QB two times each as Chilliwack held the Niners to just one first down in the entire game.

● Grayson Frick had three rushing touchdowns as his peewee Blue Giants squashed Meadow Ridge 26-0. D.J. Williams helped his defence pitch a shutout, with Jaxson Wilkins snagging an interception. ● A tough day at the atom level saw the Blue Giants fall 39-9 to the Abbotsford Falcons while the Red Giants lost 40-0 to the North Langley Bears. Running back Wyatt

Stobbs was the game MVP for the Blue Giants, picking up yards behind the blocking of Kalen Konrad and Aiden Hewitt. Mitchell Price, Finn Brandsma, Camillo Salas and Antonio Salas led the D. The Red Giants got big performances from offensive linemen Dorian Thompson and Kaleb Matheson. Defensively, Corbin Upshaw and Evan Butler both had QB sacks.

Quinn Laynes, Tyler Kelly, Grayson Frick and Carson Van Der Greft will compete Saturday afternoon (3 p.m.) at BC Place. They’ll have the opportunity to stick around afterwards for a Canadian Football League game between the BC Lions and Ottawa Redblacks. The Chilliwack four will test themselves against the Lower Mainland’s best, but they’ve already established themselves as Chilliwack’s best. CMFA held its Punt, Pass and Kick day in early September. Approximately 120 players in four divisions were ranked based on their accumulated yardage. Laynes topped the flag football division. Kelly was the top atom player. Frick was the top peewee player and Van Der Greft was best among junior bantams. Chilliwack’s Aaron Pauls leads the University of the Fraser Valley mens’ golf team into Quebec City for the PING CCAA National Championships, running Oct. 14-17. The event will be played at Champlain College St. Lawrence and the Cascades are the defending champions.

Doull Claire Irene

September 24, 1927 October 3, 2014 It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our mother on October 3, 2014 at Chilliwack Hospital at the age of 87. Mom was born in Sherbrooke Quebec and raised in the Eastern Townships in Quebec where the lineage on her mother’s side went back to some of the first settlers in the area. It was in Drummondville, Quebec after WWII where she met her husband Bill Doull who was returning from overseas. They were married on April 6, 1946 and celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary together just days before he passed away. They had three children, Sandra, Norman and Murray. Family was first and foremost in Mom’s life. She took every means possible to ensure the well-being of her husband and children. She had many close friends with whom she always stayed in contact with and was always there for them. Those of us that knew and loved Mom will always remember her as the most unselfish person we have ever known. She always put her family and friends first with very little thought to herself. She supported the United Church and a few charities that were dear to her. She was a very loving and giving woman who possessed a heart of gold. She is lovingly remembered by her children Sandra Doull, Norman Doull and Murray Doull (Lucy); brother Ron Bullard (Lise); grandchildren Joy Sutherland, Roderick Doull, Tanya Pennington (Layne) and Cora Pilon; great grandchildren Rebecca Sutherland, Micheal Sutherland, Adam Sutherland, Kyle Pilon, Brandon Pilon, Gray Pennington and many other relatives and close friends. A Celebration of Life Tea will be held at 2:00 pm on November 15, 2014 at Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home, 45865 Hocking Ave., Chilliwack BC; Rev. Timothy Rowan officiating. Memorial Donations in lieu of flowers may be made in Claire Doull’s name to the United Ostomy Association Vancouver, 1070 Iverson Rd., Lindell Beach BC V2R 4X5. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca WOODLAWN MT. CHEAM Funeral Home 45865 Hocking Ave. Chilliwack BC V2P 1B5, 604-793-4555

Edwards Vivian (Nee: Leask)

It was with great sadness that we announce that Vivian Edwards passed away on Sunday, September 28, 2014. She was surrounded by her loved ones and passed peacefully and comfortably after several months of struggle. Vivian was 84, born in Bethune Sask on December 12, 1929 to a proud prairie family. She is survived by her husband of 62 years Jim, four sons, Dave (Jennifer), Bruce (Pam), Ross and Scott (Brenda) and her two foster daughters, BillieGrace and Lynn. She had 11 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren as well as BillieGrace’s 4 children and 6 grandchildren. Vivian is survived by her brothers, Joe and John of Medicine Hat, Alberta. She was predeceased by her sisters Mary and Beverly, brother Dick as well as two sons Brian and Douglas. Vivian was very involved in both the Stellar’s Jay Lions Club and the White Cane Society as past presidents. Despite losing her vision and recent health issues, she never gave up and remains an example and inspiration to her whole family. Her compassion and deep sense of empathy touched all who met her, as did her laughter and incredible sense of humour which was with her until the end. The family would like to thank the staff at Cascade Lodge for their care and kindness. Vivian chose to be cremated and will be honoured at a “Celebration of Life” tea to be held at the Mt. Cheam Lions Hall at 45580 Spadina Avenue, Chilliwack. A casual drop in tea on Sunday October 26th from 1-4pm will offer an opportunity for family and friends to share memories, tears and laughter. In lieu of flowers donations can be made the CNIB. “As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.” Helen Keller

It is with heavy hearts we announce the sudden passing of Bud (Clifford) on Wednesday September 24, 2014 with family ever by his side. Bud was born July 17th, 1927 in Prince Albert, SK; son to Cecil Marce and Mary Rosser. He married his sweetheart, Val (Arvella) McIlvenna on May 6, 1950 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Bud is predeceased by his brother Jack Marce, son Brett Marce, and wife Val Marce. He is survived by their children: Donna, Donald, Michael, Patty (George) Greenwell; and Craig. This beloved husband & father also enjoyed 10 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren. A Funeral Mass will be held at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 8909 Mary St., Chilliwack, on October 15th, 2014, at 11am. “He was loved and respected by many, and will be forever in our hearts”.
