Social media and the Chilliwack election Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Communications expert Marshall McLuhan coined the phrase “the medium is the message” in his book Understanding Media: The Extensions of Man. McLuhan meant the vehicle of the message is just as important and telling as the content itself, if not more so. When it comes to the 2014 municipal election in Chilliwack, it’s a communications concept that rings true, with an explosion of social media use as candidates try to broadcast their message to get elected. “It has been an important issue this year,” says UFV professor Darren Blakeborough. Local media and reporters have been seeking out Blakeborough’s views recently on the impact of social media, in his role as assistant professor of Social, Media and Cultural Studies at UFV. Candidates are looking to various forms of social media to engage in selfbranding, but he cautions they need to be very strategic about it, and they need to be disciplined about staying on message. “But from most of the examples I’ve looked at during this campaign, it seems to be almost an afterthought.” Social media is both inexpensive and quick and therefore can’t be ignored as an electioneering tool. “There’s no cost other than your time. But it seems a lot of the approaches are rather haphazard. “So while it’s clearly an important tool in a modern election, it’s still only one of the tools in the toolbox.” Candidates have been setting up Facebook profiles for their candidacies, posting election topics, and using Twitter to debate issues. A couple of candidates in the Chilliwack election have been attacked Continued: MEDIA/ p5

Candidates questioned on heritage stand Local society hopes to make heritage preservation a key issue in the campaign Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack’s rich heritage should be front and centre during the 2014 municipal elections. To make that happen a new group called Heritage Chilliwack Society is brainstorming some key heritage-related issues and questions for all-candidates’ meetings. Laura Reid, along with society directors Krista Butt, and Anita Unger, launched the volunteerbased Heritage Chilliwack Society over the summer. “We’re moving ahead now
and preparing the questions for Chilliwack candidates,” said Reid. They’ve been working closely with Heritage BC, both in setting up the new non-profit, and preparing for the 2014 municipal election on Nov. 15. “Heritage considerations can factor into tourism, downtown revitalization, the environment and climate change,” Reid told The Progress. “So it needs to be part of the conversations we’re having about the election.” Candidates may want to ask questions like how Chilliwack’s heritage and historic assets
could be seamlessly integrated into the municipal planning process. Would the candidates be willing to see funds devoted to heritage preservation? Should some historic buildings be repurposed? “Heritage issues are part of Chilliwack’s future growth and economic development potential,” Reid noted. The society members recently incorporated the new not-forprofit society. Their aim is to “engage, advocate for, and promote Chilliwack’s heritage” as well as to research and identify heritage assets through collaboration. “My experience working at a historic downtown hotel is that
people who come downtown are often looking for that authentic heritage experience.” Heritage Chilliwack Society volunteers are out to inspire and raise awareness about the rich treasure trove of history that Chilliwack has as the third oldest municipality in B.C., said Reid. In setting up the society, they did their homework, making a point of consulting with heritage professionals like Elaine Horricks, Heritage Planner for the Township of Langley, Ron Denman, past director of the Chilliwack Museum and Archives, Deborah Hudson, former director of the Chilliwack Continued: HERITAGE/ p11

B.C. hospitals ‘not ready’ for Ebola, nurses warn Province will review protocols, step up training for staff Jeff Nagel Black Press B.C.’s nurses are “legitimately scared” about Ebola but haven’t been adequately trained to safely treat patients and avoid risking themselves or spreading the deadly virus to the broader population, according to their union president. B.C. Nurses Union president Gayle Duteil detailed her concerns Tuesday in a letter to regional health authorities after three suspected Ebola cases turned up in Lower Mainland hospitals but were ultimately ruled out. Duteil said Fraser Health and other health regions are “not ready” to respond to the arrival of an Ebola case.
A union survey found nurses in units designated to isolate and treat Ebola patients haven’t yet been sufficiently trained in using protective gear to avoid infection. Duteil is calling for immediate action to plug gaps in Ebola response planning, along with detailed simulations for front line staff. “This cannot wait until there is another suspected case in an ER within the province,” she said. “If the health system wants our members to put themselves at risk of exposure to a deadly disease we expect that every reasonable precaution be put in place on a priority basis.” Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall acknowledged more must be done and said he will co-chair a committee to review protocols and coordinate efforts by the health authorities. “Our first priority will be on establishing the processes to famil-
iarize or refamiliarize health care workers with personal protective equipment so if they have to use it they can use it safely and confidently,” Kendall told reporters. He said health authorities may disagree with the BCNU assessment that they are unprepared. But Kendall said the handling of each of the three recent suspect cases – two of which were hospitalized in Surrey and Vancouver before being ruled out – turned up some issues in need of improvement. He described those cases as low to medium risk. North American anxiety about the disease outbreak that has killed thousands in West Africa soared after a patient arrived in Texas with the virus and later died. A nurse there subsequently tested positive for the virus although it’s unclear how she was exposed. “Given the concern over the breakdown of infection control we heard from Texas It is really
appropriate for us to double up on that and make sure people who are going to be on the front lines are confident and competent and comfortable putting the equipment on and particularly in taking it off,” Kendall said. The risk from Ebola to the general public in B.C. is “vanishingly small, if not zero,” he added. Kendall praised the past bravery of health care workers in dealing with outbreaks such as SARS and pointed to HIV as a precedent where fear of exposure at times threatened to hinder treatment. Unlike airborne viruses, Ebola can only be caught through direct contact with bodily fluids of a patient who has symptoms. Fraser Health’s head of infection control previously predicted the region would successfully isolate and contain any Ebola patient arriving in the region at its designated hospital – Surrey Memorial. Vancouver Coastal Health

Authority hasn’t identified a primary hospital to take suspect cases, instead expecting all sites to be ready. Although suspect patients in B.C. to date have turned out not to have Ebola, public health officials expect health workers here will be confronted with the real thing. More suspect cases are also likely since about 40 people a month arrive here from West Africa and some are likely to display flu-like symptoms – two factors that trigger isolation pending further assessment. The BCNU letter warns the union has advised members to only care for suspected Ebola patients if they’ve been provided proper equipment and training. It also urges improved procedures on cleaning and handling garbage, protocols on handling the deceased and asks what contingency plans will be in place when ERs are already full.

The child complied, but then ran home. Adams was originally arrested after he confessed shortly after the crime. Surrey RCMP Supt. Trent Rolfe said it became clear Adams admitted to something he didn’t do.

Social media’s double edge or bullied on social media for their comments and portrayals. One was a Facebook post by mayoralty candidate Cam Hull from last summer that was negative in tone about the teachers’ strike. A Facebook poster commented when the matter was raised again: “Best to have a clean slate before you try and get votes for mayor. I am pretty sure telling teachers to ‘suck it’ is not a way to get much support.” Hull later replied to the poster: “I’ve got nothing to hide. To be honest. I forgot I posted it” until a screen shot was posted, and people started reacting, and reposting. But being disciplined about self branding is especially important for candidates to undertake because “a misstep could haunt you,” Blakeborough stressed. He recommends they “don’t allow other people to interrupt or allow the discussion to devolve” away from key points, “especially trolls who can wreak havoc online. “They will attack you, so the last thing you want to do is engage them.” Incumbent Mayor Sharon Gaetz is running for re-election, but announced she was tak-

ing a break from social media during the campaign, due to the “overwhelming amount of correspondence” she is getting daily “with the election looming.” Gaetz kept her personal Facebook page going, but has shut down Life in the ‘Wack, a page to share the positive things about Chilliwack, which has more than 6000 members, until after the election. Blakeborough pointed to various examples where self branding is contingent on image, like NFL running back Ray Rice’s indefinite
suspension in the wake of video that emerged of him assaulting his wife in an elevator. Where actual photographic evidence exists, it can make a big difference, like election candidates captured in compromising positions, as another example. “Things happen in life but photographic evidence weighs differently on people,” he said. It’s a different type of election campaigning therefore in the digital world. A serious candidate needs to know absolutely everything

available online about themselves. “Candidates have to be aware of everything. People can Google everything that’s out there in the online world. So it’s not just the impact of social media, but all digital technology.” It’s that acute awareness that may preclude some from running, or at least direct them on how to manage the main message. “If a candidate has a lackadaisical approach or not aware of the potential, it can really bite them in the end.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

The candidates in November’s municipal elections have filed their nomination paperwork. The races for the mayor’s job, seats on city council, park board, FVRD, and the school board are officially on. Although some candidates have already been campaigning for weeks, if not months as they gauged the public mood for change, sought indications of support before jumping into the fray. The coming weeks will be punctuated by knocks on your door from candidates seeking your vote, flyers stuffing your mailbox, signs on lawns, all-candidates’ meetings in school gyms and community centres. But how many voters will be paying attention? How many voters will actually exercise their franchise on Nov. 15? In 2011, a paltry 17 per cent of registered voters in Chilliwack cast ballots. Weeding through myriad candidates vying for positions at City Hall and the school board can be daunting. Knowing who stands for what, and what they plan to accomplish can challenge even the best-designed flowchart. But it’s the candidates who emerge victorious on Nov. 15 who will have the most direct impact on our daily lives. They’ll determine how much we pay in property taxes, how much we’ll pay to park on city streets, when our garbage will be collected, what new developments will be approved. They’ll make the call on school policies and facilities. So it’s in every voter’s interest to pay attention for the next four weeks. And set aside a few minutes on Nov. 15 to make their marks on a ballot. ~ Black Press

The frightening march of the Ebola virus No one can blame B.C. nurses for expressing anxiety about lack of protocols and protection in the event of a patient testing positive for Ebola. (See story, page 3.) A letter sent to the provincial health authorities this week by the BC Nurses Union Council stated they are not ready to handle cases of this deadly virus. No one has yet tested positive for Ebola in Canada but with the virus on the move a slim chance remains that it could surface here as it has in the U.S. and Spain. Ebola is one of the deadliest infections in the world. There are five strains, the Zaire strain being the most dangerous and the one rampaging through Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia and beyond. It was first discovered in 1976 in the village of Yambuku in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo). The
first person infected was school headmaster Mabalo Lokela who had visited a region along the Ebola River. Within two weeks of becoming sick he died. Everyone who touched or treated him died. Ultimately there were 318 cases and 280 people died, a mortality rate of 88 per cent. Margaret That river Lokela visited gave its EVANS name to the virus that is today’s epidemic. Fruit bats are known to be natural reservoirs of the virus. Bats spread the virus by dropping partially eaten contaminated fruit covered with their saliva on the ground where it is eaten by gorillas and duikers. That wild game is hunted by people who
eat prized bushmeat such as fruit bats, antelope, porcupine and primates. Once inside the body, the virus hijacks cells to reproduce itself. The new copies continue to replicate themselves in rapidly increasing numbers. They damage the cells that line blood vessels and the patient suffers fever, vomiting, diarrhea, and internal and external bleeding. Blood and other secretions from the patient are infected with the virus making close contact by health care workers so dangerous. The current outbreak is unprecedented. Previous outbreaks have been local and sporadic. But the aggressiveness of this deadly virus has caught the health care community flatfooted. In West Africa hospitals and care facilities are out of beds and out of room and new facilities are frantically being built.

Inadequately protected nurses are fearful of going to work. According to the World Health Organization, over 420 health care workers have been infected and 50 per cent of them have died. Currently over 9,000 people have been infected and over 4,500 have died. But the true numbers may be much higher given unreported deaths away from hospitals. This outbreak was first detected in Guinea in March and spread quickly to neighbouring countries. Now, with so many hospitals overcrowded, infected people are dying in their homes and villages where relatives, entrenched in ancient cultures, deal with the corpse by hugging, kissing, braiding hair or shaving the head. They are wide open for infection. Getting the message across about the infectious state of a sick or dying person has
been tough. Ebola is out of control and the epidemic is doubling in size every three weeks. WHO has already warned that, without aggressive intervention to contain this virus, the rate of infection could reach 10,000 per week within the next two months. Canada has already contributed $35 million to WHO, the UN, and humanitarian aid agencies and this week committed another $30 million in aid to WHO and Medecins Sans Frontieres/ Doctors Without Borders. The Public Health Agency of Canada has a team of experts with a mobile lab in Sierra Leone and, in Canada, is ready to respond should an Ebola case arrive here. Stamping out the spread of Ebola means eradicating it in West Africa. Now.

Canada shouldn’t rush into war In The Progress letter of Oct 8, “ISIS demands strong response,” Jack Carradice suggests Canadians drop any misgivings we may have on this topic, and plunge our country into yet another war. Though I do not want to endorse a feel good solution, I am not convinced that invasion of another sovereign nation is the best plan. It is my belief that the U.S. needs to destabilize Syria, and Iran as part of their control and maintenance of the U.S. dollar as the World Reserve Currency. On this course, the U.S. was thwarted by Russia’s peace initiative that traded Syria’s volunteered destruction of their chemical weapons for a NATO stand-down about a year ago. Never a nation to say quit, the U.S. is back to fight a with ISIS, a terror organization they fund-
ed, armed, trained, and set loose to cause havoc in the very area that the U.S. wants to invade. It’s very much like Canada fighting Al Qaeda in Afghanistan, but supporting them in Syria a while back. This is a common example of creating a problem, to get a reaction, so the U.S. could provide the solution: invade Syria. This has been the goal all along. I also believe that Canada is being duped or railroaded into participating in another poorly defined and open-ended military action. Even U.S. spokesmen have stated that this one could last 30 years. Didn’t we get enough of this in the 12 year, $30 Billion effort in Afghanistan? And why is our MP Mark Strahl silent on the war topic? Shouldn’t he be leading a discussion or blog on the benefits and humanitar-
ian good stuff associated with this venture? I’ve written to him for months calling for one of his ‘Have your say!’ brochures or maybe a ‘Phone Call Town Hall Meeting’ on the topic. Silence. Do you believe his Yes Vote on “Canada Invades Iraq” represented the majority consent of his constituents? Canada is a democracy, and the mob mentality that Jack Carradice calls us to employ insults the intelligence of Canadians who value their right to self-government. So does Mark Strahl’s silence on this issue. Please, let us have an open and respectful dialogue on the validity of international threats to Canadian sovereignty. And please, let our parliamentary representative then convey our decisions to Ottawa. Gary Raddysh
Nuclear-free zones worked for Kiwis Re: Oil protest a slippery slope for cities (B.C. Views, Oct. 7). Tom Fletcher took a snide swipe at local politicians and municipal councils that declared their jurisdictions to be nuclear weapons-free zones. “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” he asks. Fletcher should know better than to denigrate the power of grassroots democracy and nowhere is it more powerful than at the local level. This was unquestionably demonstrated in New Zealand where, in the early
1980s, a dictatorial conservative Prime Minister named Rob Muldoon ignored the overwhelming public opinion that New Zealand should not host nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed foreign warships. Ignoring the everlouder public protest, Muldoon continued to invite U.S. warships to visit New Zealand harbours and used his majority National government to run roughshod over the will of the people. Kiwis turned to their local governments to give effect to
their anti-nuclear principles. Municipality after municipality voted to become nuclear free and they posted signs on their municipal boundaries. Labour Party leader David Lange was no fool. He read the writing on the signs and promised that if his party became the government, he would ban all nuclearequipped warships from New Zealand waters. In 1984 Labour swept into power in a landslide and followed through on Lange’s promise. New Zealand is a small peaceful country
in the South Pacific but Kiwis stood up against the superpower bully tactics of Ronald Reagan and the U.S. military. New Zealand took a beating economically but stood by its principle of opposing Cold War superpower nuclear alliances. To this day New Zealand proudly remains nuclearfree and an example to the world. The strategy may have been less successful in B.C. but there is nothing stupid about the effort nor the intent of the passionate British Columbians who tried. Chris Conway

MP, MLA earn note of appreciation In these times when most people are bashing political parties and politicians, I feel I must put in a good word to our own Mark Strahl and Laurie Throness and their respective staff members (especially Jeremy, Kyle and Gabrielle). I have had occasion recently to deal with these federal and provincial representatives and on every occasion my question or concern was answered right away
and pleasantly. The offices of both Mr. Strahl and Mr. Throness were quick to get back to me with suggestions and answers to my questions and I am very impressed with their prompt action. I honestly expected my questions to sit in an inbox until someone had a couple of spare minutes but no, in every case a pleasant person either answered my question or directed me to the correct
agency who promptly handled my issue. Often I have heard negative comments about our elected officials but my elected officials have only served me extremely well. Keep up the great work. It is a pleasure dealing with you and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening to me and helping me out. Andrea Dunphy

HERITAGE from Front Museum and Archives and Heritage B.C., Heritage Chilliwack Society was created. Heritage B.C.’s executive directory, Kathryn Malloy and Karen Dearlove, capacity planner, came to Chilliwack in June to take a special downtown tour, after meeting with Reid, Butt, and Unger. They went from the Royal Hotel, to Five Corners and down Gore Avenue to the St. Thomas Anglican Church, and more. “They were in awe of what we have here in Chilliwack, and encouraged us to move forward,” added Reid.

Effort aimed at keeping First Nations families safe SAFE from page 3 From 1975 to 1999, Steven Point ser ved as Chief of the Skowkale First Nation. From 1994 to 1999 he served as Tribal Chair of the Stó:lo Nation. Gwen Point is an assistant professor in Social Work and Human Services at UFV. She joined the School of Social Work and Human Services
in 2005. Prior to joining UFV, she was education manager for the Stó:lo Nation. Organizers plan to evolve the campaign into a travelling Safety Fair that would see Aboriginal youth leaders and teams trained to take fire safety messages and practices onto reserves across B.C. and later, across Canada. Campaign materials include
the image of white-tail deer sensing fire danger, as well as a photo of Gwen Point overseeing Steven Point as he installs a smoke alarm in their Chilliwack home. “Combining the efforts of governments, First Nations leaders, educational institutions as well as responsible corporations such as Kidde Canada gives me a great deal of optimism in the success
of this campaign,” says Darryl Plecas, MLA for Abbotsford South. Two years ago a working smoke alarm movement began in B.C. that saved lives. “I anticipate this program will do more of the same and continue to help keep our families safe,” he said. In more than 75 per cent of
fatal fire incident investigations smoke alarms were either found not to be present or not working. As well, a combination smoke and carbon monoxide alarm donation of $100,000 was announced by smoke alarm leader Kidde Canada. Some 2,000 units were donated for installation in First Nations communities.

A woman with primary financial responsibility for yourself and your dependants Attending an undergraduate degree program or a vocational skills training program Have financial need PetSmart pet care manager, Chelsea Gumbley, lets kids touch a red foot tortoise during the store’s Feed the Fish program. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Educating kids on animals and their care Jenna Hauck The Progress A new program at PetSmart is educating kids about a wide variety of pets, and giving them a chance to feed the store’s fish. Feed the Fish is a free family program which runs every Saturday morning at the store. For about half an hour, kids learn about a specific pet under the guidance of pet care manager Chelsea Gumbley, and pet care associate Alyssa Boutilier. They’re taught about the animal’s origin, what sort of habitat they live in, what they eat, and their behaviour. Afterwards, the kids get to feed some of the store’s different types of fish. “What we do is we connect one-on-one with the parents and kids. We have this event every Saturday, they find out about the different animals, and then they get to feed the fish — that’s what gets the kids excited,” says store manager Rupi Parmar.
The store, which opened in the summer, started the nationwide program early. Last weekend was the third week for Feed the Fish in Chilliwack, but it was the first week that it launched across Canada. This coming weekend, it’ll be running across North America. “We wanted to test it out since we are new in the community. We wanted to see what people thought and what we could do differently,” says Parmar. “We are brand new so we have a lot to prove.” It’s been successful in just the first few weeks. They’ve seen familiar faces every weekend as many kids have
returned each Saturday. “That’s what makes it fun is that they’re excited to come back and learn,” says Parmar. All of the pets the kids learn about are sold in-store. On the first Saturday, they learned about fish. The next week, it was guinea pigs. “That went over really well with the guinea pigs, because it’s more hands-on,” says Parmar. This past Saturday, kids were educated about red foot tortoises and bearded dragons. “We could keep going for the next 30 weeks, and it would be a new pet each time,” he
says. “As the seasons change, so do the animals we get in.” In the summer and fall the focus is on pets such as Chinese water dragons, mountain dragons, tortoises, leopard geckos, and chameleons. Birds like parakeets, quaker parrots and conure parrots are popular in the winter months. And in the spring, they move into goldfish, tropical fish, and rodents. “On a Saturday morning it’s hard to pull kids away from cartoons and extracurricular activities,” he says. “A lot of times the parents are more excited. For us the biggest thing is to have that excitement on both levels.” So far, “it’s been a great response” he says. Feed the Fish is a free one-hour program located at PetSmart in Eagle Landing (926-8249 Eagle Landing Pkwy.). It runs from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. every Saturday. Registration is not required.

Home&Garden ■ D UCK W EATHER R ETURNS
The wet weather is expected to return today, but give way to partly sunny skies over the weekend. JENNA HAUCK/ THE PROGRESS
Build fall colour into your garden I always try to plan a fall garden that produces colour in a variety of ways. Foliage colour at this time of the year just lifts your spirits, and you don’t need tall shade trees to achieve vibrant colour. Today, with so many ‘wow’ fall foliage plants available, you’ll have no difficulty finding room for them in a smaller space garden. I can’t make up my mind if I like a Sourwood Tree (Oxydendrum arboreum) better in August or in October. In August, its cascades of white flowers are a nice treat, then in late summer its foliage starts turning red and lasts well until late October. It’s a superstar in the garden. A little known and seldom planted tree is ‘Parrotia persica’. It’s a multi-stemmed small tree that always looks unique. It has tiny red flowers in February, but earns its stripes mostly in fall with truly vibrant scarlet-orange leaves. It also has smooth grey bark that flakes off to leave white patches, making it a nice winter specimen too. Nearly everyone
plants a Purple Smoke Tree (Cotinus coggygria) in their garden. Few people, however, plant its gold leafed cousin and that’s a shame because Golden Smoke Trees are beautiful throughout three of the four seasons. They are particularly beautiful in autumn with their multitude of sophisBrian ticated MINTER vibrant colours. Another great plant that is neglected too often is the enthralling Enkianthus campanulatus. It’s a midsized shrub with Pieris japonica-like red flowers in spring and lights up the garden at this time of year with its florescent red foliage. This Japanese native fits in well among rhododendrons, azaleas and heathers. Speaking of red foliage, the Burning Bush (Euonymus alatus) is the reddest of all reds in the fall and truly is a head turner. It’s a great fall

The Burning Bush is a fall stand out.
plant, with corky winged stems, that continues to look terrific in winter too. A compact variety is now available. It’s a must have! One of the more unknown garden jewels is Fothergilla gardenii. This slow grower (up to 3 feet) has beautiful, fragrant bottle brush-like flowers in April and May, and then in October, it throws a colour party of vibrant yellows and oranges. It’s a standout. The last plant I want to mention is the lovely ‘Nandina domestica’. It’s a false bamboo with no spreading roots. Not really a grass, although all year it shimmers like one, it is a plant no sunny or shady spot
should be without, and it now comes in a wide selection of compact varieties. They work especially well near an entryway. All the compact varieties are unique in their own way, but my favourite is Nandina ‘Sienna Sunrise’. It turns such beautiful red shades in winter and keeps that colour until spring. If you already have these plants in your garden, congratulations! If not, I guarantee the addition of these plants to your fall garden will not only create a new exciting season for you, but they will also be something beautiful to anticipate and enjoy each autumn.

Environment permits approved for Site C hydro Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – Both the federal and provincial governments have issued environmental assessment certificates for BC Hydro’s Site C dam, the proposed third hydroelectric project on the Peace River in northeastern B.C. The approvals include dozens of legally binding conditions, including a $20 million farmland enhancement fund to offset river bottom land that would be flooded, and compensation for local aboriginal groups whose historic treaty rights to hunting, fishing and trapping would be affected. Cost of the project, last estimated by BC Hydro at $7.9 billion, will factor into a final decision by the B.C. cabinet whether to go ahead with the dam. Energy Minister Bill
Bennett has indicated he expects the final investment decision to be made by the end of 2014, and if it’s approved, work would begin immediately. Among the 77 B.C. conditions
is an aboriginal business participation strategy to share the estimated 10,000 person-years of construction work the dam project would generate. Seven aboriginal communities

affected by the proposal have been offered cash and Crown land to compensate for land lost by construction of the dam. All are signatories to Treaty 8, which ensures their rights to hunt, trap and fish
as they did before the treaty was signed in 1899. Officials say five of the seven are currently in negotiations. Situated near Fort St. John and downstream of the W.A.C. Bennett and Peace Canyon dams, Site C’s 1,050-metre-long earthfill dam would create a reservoir 83 km long and two to three times the current width of the river. It requires two power lines built in the same corridor as the existing line, and six water turbine generators that would produce enough electricity to power about 450,000 homes. BC Hydro estimates that because Site C would use water held back in the existing Williston Lake reservoir, it would generate 35 per cent of the energy as the Bennett dam with only five per cent of the reservoir area.

Privately developed run-of-river, wind and solar power remains a possible alternative to a third dam on the Peace River, Energy Minister Bill Bennett says. Bennett was responding to this week’s decision by the federal and B.C. environment ministries to recommend construction of the Site C dam, which would flood another 83 km of the Peace River valley near Fort St. John. Bennett said some people have incorrectly interpreted the environmental assessment certificates as a green light for the project, which BC Hydro has considered for 35 years. Studies of natural gas power generation and private clean energy projects are continuing, and a recommendation to cabinet will be made in November, Bennett said. Studies have shown that equivalent natural gas power plants would be “marginally cheaper” than Site C,

which would provide 8.5 per cent of the province’s electricity supply, but that option would require amendment of the province’s
clean energy legislation. “I believe there would be significant public opposition to utilizing gas to gener-
ate all of that electricity,” Bennett said. “It’s not totally off the table but it isn’t something that I think has legs.” Outside exper ts have endorsed BC Hydro’s forecast that its electricity demand will increase by 40 per cent in the next 20 years, with most of that met through conservation. Bennett said that forecast may prove to be low if liquefied natural gas production, new mines and other industrial developments proceed. The government acknowledges that seven aboriginal communities in the Peace region oppose Site C. Environment Minister Mary Polak said they do not have authority to veto the project, a position that may be tested in court if the cabinet approves Site C to proceed next year. Bennett said the cost of wind, solar and other renewable energy is coming down, but any private alternative would have to include the additional costs of power lines and backup power for intermittent sources.
B.C. wood moves up China’s value chain When B.C.’s wood products trade mission visited Nanjing, China five years ago, government and industry representatives watched lumber being hauled by labourers with ropes onto the roofs of a vast expanse of concrete apartment buildings. Trusses were built using hammers and handsaws, to replace thousands of roofs damaged by the deadly 2008 Sichuan earth-
quake. Builders were pleased with the new method, which replaced angle iron pulled up to the roofs and welded into trusses. When B.C.’s annual delegation returned to Nanjing this Thanksgiving weekend for its annual Asia sales trip, Forests Minister Steve Thomson said the roof reconstruction work continues. But now wood construction
has become more sophisticated in Jiangsu Province, a centre of electronics and other industries whose gross domestic product is half as much as all of Canada. Thomson also met with executives of Sinar Mas, the Indonesian conglomerate that has invested heavily in B.C.’s wood pulp industry through its Richmond-based subsidiary Paper Excellence.

Community effort behind 30th Rotary book sale ‘We estimate that we’ve sold about $1 million in books over the 30 years,’ says chair Debora Soutar. Jenna Hauck The Progress The books are boxed up, the metal crates are stacked, and the volunteers are ready. It’s all in preparation for the 30th annual Chilliwack Rotary Club Book Sale which begins on Sunday and runs until next Saturday. “Our annual book sale is huge,” says event chair Debora Soutar. “There are thousands and thousands of books, and most only cost a toonie.” The keeners line up at 6 a.m. waiting for the doors to open at 7 a.m. on Sunday. “There’s a lineup outside and it’s dark so you can’t see everyone,” explains Soutar. “Then they open the doors and it’s like ‘dollar fortynine days’ where shoppers just swarm in. I love that part, it’s very exciting.” Although 30 years ago the book sale was not as huge and popular as it is now, it was still a pretty big event. Ten thousand dollars was raised in its inaugural year. Soutar was at one of the first Rotary book sales and has a clear memory of it. “I remember going to one of the first ones in Cottonwood Mall and there was a National Geographic and it was a World War II copy with a picture of Hitler on the front. I though it was amazing.” Thirty years ago, “we didn’t go to the book stores and buy books because it was too expensive, so buying from the book sale was great,” says Soutar. Much like it is today, three decades ago it was still a community effort to put together the book sale. Back then they transported the books using Jim Huitema’s milk truck, Iain Murray’s vehicle from Chilliwack Furniture World, John Blessin’s truck from Wagner Appliances, and Fred Hails’ Coast Office Equipment truck. Plus there were several pickup trucks used as well. Now, Pioneer Buildall lends its flatbed truck to transport the many metal crates full of boxed-up books from the Rotary Services Building at Townsend Park to Chilliwack
With brand-new bright orange donation bins, plus thousands of books, Chilliwack Rotary Book Sale chair Debora Soutar is ready to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the used book sale event. Behind her, in the metal crates, are some of the 80,000 books that will be for sale starting this Sunday. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Mall. O’Connor lends its tow-truck to move the forklift, which is borrowed from Legacy Pacific. One of the new things this year are the book-drop bins. “Harry Mertin stepped up and they arranged for brand-new bins that are way higher quality. They arranged for them to be painted by staff, and Jonathan Milne did the decals.” The bins are “bright pumpkin orange,” says Soutar. “You know when they say, ‘oh you can’t miss them’? Well this time you really can’t.” Mertin Group even gave the metal-salvage cheque to Rotary after disposing of the old bins. Plus there are donated things

people, and they are always proven wrong to me in our town. It’s heartwarming and encouraging.” In celebration of the anniversary, there will be an after-school birthday party one afternoon, followed by a book club night. On Wednesday, Oct. 22 the community donations will keep coming as Christine’s Creative Cakes will be giving away cupcakes to the first hundred kids from 3 to 4 p.m. There will also be balloons. The next day, on Thursday, community book clubs have been invited to the book sale for an evening together. Victor Froese will be taking group photos, plus there will be chocolate, selections of sug-
that some may not even think about. “This year we have all new sign holders donated by Chilliwack Safeway,” adds Soutar. A total of 128 metal sign holders and a dolly were donated. And of course, there are the people. The volunteers consist not only of Rotarians themselves, but local high school students who will be filling 850 work hours over the course of the week. “The students’ response outshines even the Rotarians,” says Soutar. “We really have to take our young people way more seriously. We hear a lot of things about young

gested books, and a prize draw. Not every year is a huge success and celebration. A few years ago it was predicted, because of ebooks, that the book sale would die. “There was a slump one year, and our sales were down,” says Soutar. Later they realized that the drop in sales was due to the construction at Chilliwack Mall. It was at a time when old stores were gone, but the new ones had not yet opened. This year there will be about 80,000 books for sale at the Rotary book sale, down a bit from previous years.

the four or six-cylinder variants, no rattles, bangs or buzzing were heard. I actually couldn’t believe my ears as to how serene the cabin was. I guess the triple door seals are doing their job and doing it well. The transmission had a smoothness to it and the 8-inch touchscreen featuring Text Messaging Alerts and Siri Eyes Free are a bonus. If you’re just hauling yourself, or a pair of jet skis around back, the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado can do the job. And they do it very well. Pricing for the Chevrolet Colorado starts at an MSRP of $19,900 for the four-cylinder with the extended cab. The GMC Canyon has a starting MSRP of $20,600 (both exclude a destination charge of $1,695). Visit www.gm.ca for more information Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

driveway Making sense of the new Canadian fuel consumption rating system By Bob McHugh
A new fuel consumption rating system kicks in for all 2015 model year new cars and light trucks. The Government of Canada has finally approved the five-cycle test method, already used in the
US since 2008. In general, those predicted fuel consumption figures on the EnerGuide label (on every new vehicle) will increase somewhere in the 10 to 20 per cent range, compared to a similar, or even identical, 2014 model year
vehicle. As before, vehicle manufacturers are required to submit fuel consumption data to the federal government based on controlled laboratory testing procedures. This is done in order to produce results that
are consistent and repeatable and includes the use of standardized fuels, test cycles and calculations. The underlying objective is to give a Canadian consumer making a new vehicle purchase decision an accurate and reliable way
to compare fuel consumption. The three additional test cycles, added to the old twocycle testing method, include cold temperature operation, air conditioner usage, and driving at higher speeds with more rapid acceleration and
braking. Cars, roads and motoring habits have changed over the years and the new five-cycle test was designed to better simulate modern driving. That said, and also as before, an owner’s actual on-road
fuel consumption is still likely to be different, although closer to the new government test numbers. Real life fuel consumption not only varies depending on how and where you drive, it can also change with traffic, the weather, after dark and a bunch of other less obvious factors. If you want to check how your current vehicle would fare (and compare) in the fivecycle test, Natural Resources Canada (nrcan.gc.ca) has an online calculation tool that gives approximate fuel economy numbers for vehicles going all the way back to 1995. This is the web link: http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/fcr-rcf/ public/index-e.cfm The more fuel a vehicle burns is directly related to the amount of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, it pumps out the tailpipe. So, not only does a more fuel efficient vehicle cost less to operate, it also has reduced environmental impact. Fuel economy now transcends the small car market and is an important concern for buyers in just about every vehicle market segment. It’s also why fuel economy has become an increasingly important in the marketing of new vehicles, especially in the high-volume market segments. The car business is a highly competitive one and, as you might expect, auto makers try to build vehicles that do well, and get low numbers, in the government fuel economy test. A few have even overstepped the credibility line (by mistake, of course) and have agreed to compensate vehicle owners, most notably Hyundai and Kia a couple of years ago, Ford and Lincoln more recently. Major technological changes are also happening in the fuel economy race. Smaller and more efficient gasoline engines are available, hybrid vehicle sales are taking off, plug-in hybrid vehicles are becoming more common and the pure electric vehicle is a competitive production reality. So, even the term “fuel consumption” may become obsolete, sometime in the future. Right now, however, if you walk into a new car dealership showroom, you’ll probably find both 2014 and 2015 editions of the same model vehicle for sale, sideby-side. If you don’t notice the asterisked note under the EnerGuide fuel consumption figure on the 2015, it’s easy to assume that it’s a less fuel efficient vehicle and that’s almost certainly not correct. The 2015 EnerGuide fuel consumption figure is simply more realistic and closer to what you’re likely to experience during day-to-day driving in the real world.

Popular Camry undergoes major update Not just happy to make a more appealing looking car, the engineers also went about improving the ride, handling and noise inside the car.
‘‘
’’
Zack Spencer
Charlotte, NC – The launch for the heavily updated Toyota Camry took place here in the heart of NASCAR country. Along the drive route, there were several NASCAR stops, one at the Hall of Fame, and another at Joe Gibbs Racing and a third at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. This was all to emphasize just how American the Camry has become. The chief engineer of the 2015 Camry is from Michigan, not Japan, as was the case with the rest of the crew that
updated over 2000 parts on this latest sedan. The car is Toyota’s cornerstone in the United States, thanks in part to the association the brand and the car has with the immensely popular NASCAR series and the long reputation it has for reliability and value. It is the most popular passenger car in North America and number one in the United States. However, that is not the case in Canada, where it lies third in the Toyota lineup behind the Corolla and RAV4. Looks: When a car is typically refreshed, the designers add a new front bumper, grille headlights and rear taillights and call it a day. Not the case here, the 2015 Toyota Camry has all-new sheet metal, providing a sleeker and more eye-catching design. The wheelbase remains the same length but the track, side-to-side has been widened for more stability. The overall length is only slightly longer, in the nose, to help achieve the more polished look. The interesting thing is this new more youthful design actually makes the car look smaller, mostly due to the less slab-sided look used in the previous car and the tightly wrapped lines and
shapes. This is now a very nice looking car but from about fifty paces the new Camry looks very similar to the new Corolla, which was refreshed last year and is selling very well. There is a new trim level in the Camry lineup, the XSE, sportier looking trim that enabled Toyota to lower the price of the, still sporty, SE trim by $2,000 to $24,990. In addition the SE trim has been added to the Hybrid model, enabling buyers of that efficient car to also enjoy a more distinctive design. Inside: Inside, the refresh focuses more on ease of use and refined materials. The top of the dash is the only carry-
over part, which is still a soft touch material with French stitching. What has been added is faux suede on the doors with the ability to get two-tone seats in the Camry, also with faux suede, but the updated seats are only in the new XSE trim. The centre stack now has bigger buttons and rotary dials for ease of use, a welcome update for older buyers. To appeal to younger intenders, the Camry has the latest connectivity and on the top XLE models a wireless charging system in the centre cubby but the phone either needs a special sleeve or integrated wireless charging technology. Plus, there is
a new screen between the speedo and tachometer for a quick reference of the radio, navigation or phone calls. Drive: Not just happy to make a more appealing looking car, the engineers also went about improving the ride, handling and noise inside the car. The track of the wheels has been widened and the lower end models also get wider wheels for improved feedback but the biggest change is to the steering feel. The Camry is equipped with electric power steering and these systems have been notorious for poor feedback to the driver. This new 2015 Camry is a big step foreword. Straight-line
stability has been improved and the car, with a more rigid platform and slightly stiffer springs and shocks, is now sending good feedback to the driver. To highlight this, a stock off-the-showroom 2015 Camry, with regular tires was used at the Charlotte Motor Speedway for hot laps. With a pro NASCAR driver at the wheel, this new sedan easily navigated around the oval at speeds over 200 km/h. Verdict: What haven’t been updated are the engine and transmission choices. The same 178hp 2.5L 4-cylinder with a 6-speed automatic does duty along with an optional 3.5L V6 putting out
268hp. Yes, this is known equipment and these engines have a proven record but with Honda and other providing direct injection engines and new slick transmissions, it might be safe to go with “tried and true” but at some point these engines will require upgrades or replacements. As it stands, this is much more than a regular mid-cycle facelift. The 2015 Camry looks much better, drives with more confidence and has a pleasant interior. With the help of NASCAR, the Camry will remain a North American staple, this time with a lot more style. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

exclusive long wheelbase version denoted by an “L” affixed to the Q70’s badging. With an additional 150 mm of stretch inserted into its rear seating area, the Q70L’s leather-lined cabin supplies limo-like legroom to its rearseat luminary, and is the only sedan within its segment to offer expanded real estate. While a CEO may feel at home in the rear quarters of the Q70L, family buyers are bound to enjoy the stretch as well, which eases the burden of inserting kids into car seats. Despite benefits of a lengthened cabin, the standard Q70 is expected to lead sales. And based on my day of driving both examples through the

Infiniti’s flagship Q70 sedan has undergone re-engineering to improve refinement and road characteristics while also exhibiting a striking design refortified end to end. Perhaps most noteworthy for 2015 is the availability of a segment-

lush beauty of historic New Jersey, it was the regularlength car that delivered a perfect balance between sportiness and luxury. And aghast I should say this, but the V6 engine in the Q70 Sport was my power plant of preference unless finding myself in the passing lane with tarmac running short. Left of the centre-line is where eight cylinders effortlessly outmatches six. Otherwise, the V6 is an exceptionally refined power plant, which pierced the bubble of contempt I harbour for V6 engines of less polish. Displacing 3.7 litres, the DOHC V6 engine develops 330 horsepower and 270 lb.ft. of torque. It’s rated under the government’s revised standards at 13.2L/100km city and 9.6L/100km highway. Infiniti’s liquid-smooth 5.6L V8 engine jacks performance considerably with the production of 416 horsepower and 414 lb.-ft. of torque, however, economy slips to 15L/100km city and 10.2L/100km highway. Both engines are mated to Infiniti’s seven-speed automatic transmission combined with all-wheel-drive (AWD), which is a Canada-only conformity. I’m a proponent of AWD, so this limitation gets traction with me. Final in the power triad is a hybrid arrangement utilizing a 3.5L V6 engine combined with a 50 kW electric motor. Total available output is pegged at 360 horsepower – directed exclusively to the rear wheels. I didn’t have an opportunity to drive the Q70 Hybrid, which is rated at a thrifty 8.0L/100km city and 6.9L/100km highway. Beautifully stitched leather and genuine Japanese Ash appliques greet the senses as one settles into the Q70’s driver’s seat. Infiniti emphasizes userfriendliness in the functionality of its technology and the layout of controls and switchgear, and such is the case in the new Q70. Yet there’s more tech here than ever before, and it’s largely designed to prevent collisions and protect occupants. Infiniti’s Safety Shield is the constellation of these programs. Highlighted among them is predictive for-

ward collision warning paired with intelligent brake assist. With a few quick seat and mirror adjustments, I was hurled into the thick of Manhattan traffic headed to the Holland Tunnel, which carries vehicles under the Hudson River on which Captain ‘Sully” Sullenberger safely landed his Airbus A320 after losing both engines due to multiple bird strikes. Far less stressful for me was the challenge of coping with Manhattan’s congested roads, which was made remarkably manageable by the Q70’s quiet cabin and its ability to blunt the incessant horn honking that is NYC. Main takeaways from our New Jersey jaunt and return to New York via Bear Mountain State Park focus on the Q70’s underpinnings. The retuned suspension exploits the sweet spot between comfort and handling characteristics without generating suspension noise. In fact, the entire chassis feels unified and composed while delivering lively, engaging handling dynamics. Particularly worthy of praise is the Q70’s retuned steering, which delivers bright, clear messaging from street level. The 2015 Infiniti Q70 and Q70L truly deserve the Big Apple’s spotlight. Though pricing has yet to be finalized for the Canadian market, expect it to be highly competitive, especially when Infiniti’s Safety Shield technology and the use of all-wheel-drive are factored into the mix.

Some children’s books stay in the community. The club donates 4,000 children’s books to local literacy programs. “We estimate that we’ve sold about $1 million in books over the 30 years,” says Soutar. All of the money is spent on international projects like polio eradication, and building wells and schools in underdeveloped countries. Locally, it’s put towards the Rotary Trail, breakfast programs, and scholarships to name a few. And for those who end up buying books at the Chilliwack Rotary Club Book Sale that sit for years on their shelf without being read? “You don’t feel guilty if you don’t read it because it’s only a two-dollar book,” says Soutar. Book donations can be put in the bookdrop bins at the Rotary Services Building at Townsend Park yearround. Large donations can be dropped off Mondays from 7 to 9 p.m. and Thursdays from 1 to 3 p.m. when Rotarians are at the building sorting books. The Chilliwack Rotary Club Book Sale runs Oct. 19 to 25 at the Chilliwack Mall. Hours are: Oct. 19 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., Oct. 20-22 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Oct. 23 and 24 from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., and Oct. 25 from 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. www.chilliwackrotarybooksale.ca.

Jen Picker, educator with Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (OWL), shows barn owl, Alba, to a group of Yarrow elementary students and visitors at the Yarrow Library on Wednesday. Alba was brought to OWL three years ago after falling out of her nest as a baby and breaking her right wing. Her wing never healed properly, and is unable to fly. Barn owls have fewer feathers and less body fat than other owls, so they have to live in enclosed areas; they are currently on the threatened list. Since 1982, more than 5,800 birds have been rehabilitated at OWL. The non-profit organization has been in operation for 40 years. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Fitness Lessons learned: Tanja Shaw reflects on 10 years as a personal trainer In my last article, I shared three things I learned in the past 10 years as a personal trainer. Today I will share three more things I’ve learned. • Fat is actually good for you. Really good for you. I remember my twelfth grade PE teacher giving a lecture on nutrition. We were talking about carbs for fuel, and she recommended a dinner of pasta (since it’s a complex carb) and low fat tomato sauce. This was the late ’90s, and when the low fat craze was at its peak. Fat was bad. The theory was that since fat has nine calories per gram, it would cause you to gain weight faster than carbohydrates and protein. In my early years as a trainer, I would still recommend eating nuts, but strongly caution to limit portion size since “they were so high in fat.” Food companies capitalized on the low-fat trend with a host of low fat versions of regular food Tanja products, and interestingly, SHAW the low fat craze came at the same time as the start of the obesity epidemic. In recent years we’ve relearned what our grandparents already knew: fat does not make us fat. Fat improves the taste of food, fat helps to keep us feeling full for longer (and therefore we eat less over the day), fat improves the absorption of certain nutrients, and fat reduces the production of insulin, the hormone responsible for storing body fat. Take Action: Don’t fear fat! Add a portion of fat to each meal to help keep you satisfied and feeling full! Good sources of fat include olive oil, coconut oil, nuts, seeds, avocado and fatty fish. • The calories in vs. calories out is true – but only sort of. I used to think that you could enter your weight and height and activity level on an online calculator, and it would spit out a number of calories that you need to eat and burn each day to lose a pound of weight a week. You could count calories and
Focus on full body, functional movements, and change your routine often., says Tanja Shaw.
input the number of a calories burned on the elliptical trainer to determine whether or not you would lose weight. The math is sound, but the human body cannot be measured by a simple mathematical equation. Instead, the human body has so many variables that even attempting to measure calories as a way to predict weight loss is futile. For example, the equation does not account for metabolic rate. As you lose weight, metabolism slows to offset the fewer calories consumed. This shift it metabolic rate is the reason why weight loss plateaus or slows as you come closer to your ideal weight. Building muscle, on the other hand, will increase metabolic rate. The calorie equation doesn’t account for type of calories. The body burns a lot more fuel to digest certain foods, such as protein and whole foods, versus refined carbohydrates. Finally, the calorie equation doesn’t account for the effect of hormones on the body. For example, a high carbohydrate diet will increase the body’s production of insulin, a hormone that promotes fat storage. Take Action: While being aware of the amount of calories and macronutrients in foods is wise, be aware that the human body is more complex than a simple math equation. • You can workout for half the time, and get even better results. I used to do a lot of exercise, and I wanted my clients to do the same. I carefully prescribed set cardio programs with detailed time, intensity and heart rate zones. I thought you had to aim for at least 30
minutes per day. My training sessions were one hour long and my clients worked the entire time. Because so many people had difficulty committing to hour-long workouts, I started to modify and condense some of the routines. The outcome? They found their routines more manageable to fit in, and they got better results. I quickly learned that quality, not quantity of exercise is what matters. We focused on full body, functional movements (such as squats, lunges, pushes and pulls), and we changed the routine often. As for cardio? I still recommend it, but only as a secondary choice to fitting in strength training. I’m a lot less specific on what to do, because unless someone is training for a very specific event or race, everything counts. Take Action: Carve our 20-30 minutes two to four times per week for planned exercise. Focus on full body, functional movements, and change your routine often. Much has changed in the past 10 years. Things that we used to think were true are being disproven, and we’re finding different ways to accomplish the same goal. Some advice has remained the same: move your body, eat mostly real foods, and have an open mind. I look forward to what the next 10 years will bring!

Take time with your sense of taste to really notice and enjoy the food and drink you are eating. Instead of gulping down a coffee, get one you enjoy and then savour and take delight in experiencing each sip. Take a mint or ginger candy and focus on the flavours in your mouth until it has dissolved. There is much we can do with touch as well.

Our series on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) has covered several skills and habits that can increase our effecMarie tiveness and AMOS feelings of wellbeing. The skill of selfsoothing using each of the five senses is something parents often spend a lot of time encouraging in babies, but we often forget to use it as we move through our daily lives. Each day, we have the opportunity to purposefully focus on what is occurring around us. Our bodies physically interact with the world in countless ways, and these experiences can be harnessed to help us feel calm, soothed and pleased – or just the opposite. Self-soothing can be practiced on a day that is already going well, or on a day that needs improvement. Often, it is easier to brainstorm things that please us when we’re already feeling pretty good, so take a moment to think of a couple pleasant experiences for each sense. For each sense, it’s important to pause and pay close attention to what you find pleasing about that sense. Think about vision, and what it pleases you to see. Please pick something real or in nature and not on an electronic screen. This can range from looking at the wind playing with leaves, a favourite painting or poster, the ripples on water, or the way light moves across closed eyelids. Listening to music or nature sounds are popular choices that can make you feel happy, calm or excited. Some people are soothed by the lack of sound, or by the quiet hum of the refrigerator. Our sense of smell is particularly powerful in retrieving memories, so be mindful of which scents build positive memories. Include pleasing scents in your daily routine, like shampoo or lotions

are to demonstrate the increased reliability of genetic ranking of the young heifer stock through use of genomics; to perform an economic analysis of the financial benefit to dairy farm operators who use genomics; and to increase the acceptance of genomic technology by dairy producers through their direct involvement with the research project. “If we can accurately rank the animals according to production then we can derive significant benefit from these genomic tools,” says Ronaldo Cerri, assistant professor in Animal Reproduction at the University of British Columbia. “The collaboration between Dr. Cerri and the farmers participating in this project means that the power of genomics will be demonstrated and become an applicable science for all farms to then utilize,” says Dr. Martin Darrow, director of Embryo Transfer Services and Genomic Research, at Chilliwack’s Greenbelt Veterinar y Ser vices. “We are going to work very hard to make sure that this information is made accessible to dairy farmers across B.C.” “Genome BC is pleased to enable this research project that aims to provide B.C. milk producers with a simple, validated and commercially available genomic tool which will improve the overall genetic merit of their cattle,” says Dr. Alan Winter, president and CEO of Genome BC. “By working hand in hand with the dairy farmers and veterinarians, genomics is leading the way to providing cost-effective solutions.” The project, valued at over $70,000, was funded through Genome BC’s User Partnership Program (UPP). UPP is designed to form partnerships with users to find research solutions that address the needs of the key sectors of the BC economy and directly connect receptors in BC economic sectors to new products, services and practices that arise from genomics-related research. The UPP represents an initial investment of $9M for new research projects, with $3M from Genome BC. The remaining funds are to be provided by user partners and other co-funders.

The Progress
The Chilliwack Chiefs took down a road-weary opponent Wednesday night at Prospera Centre. The Chiefs edged Prince George 3-2, improving to 7-1-0-1 and moving past the Spruce Kings for first place in the Mainland division. Only the Penticton Vees (8-1-0-0) have a better record than Chilliwack in the 16 team BCHL standings. More amazing, the Chiefs are already halfway to their entire win total (14) in 2013-14. The Spruce Kings opened the scoring in Wednesday night’s tilt. Justin Rai pulled the trigger on a Prince George power play. From the mid-point, defenceman Raymond Grewal flipped the puck to Jake LeBrun at the top of the left faceoff circle. LeBrun quickly sent the disc cross-ice to Rai, whose quick shot squeezed through the pads of Chilliwack goaltender Aidan Pelino for his league-best 10th of the year. But Chilliwack’s Luke McColgan said his team never wavered, even after falling behind early. “I felt like, even though they got the first goal, we jumped on them early and never stopped pushing,” he said. “We stuck to the process the whole game and good things happened for us.” About halfway through period two the ice started tilting in the home team’s favour, and the Chiefs got the equalizer at 11:49. McColgan notched his sixth goal in three games with a goal that was announced as unassisted. “There was an assist,” McColgan said. “I was calling for it (the puck) and I think it was (Dennis)

Cholowski who passed it to me,” McColgan said. That was changed later. The California kid went end to end down the right wing, stepping around a PG defenceman as he cut hard to the net. McColgan swept the puck past Spruce King netminder Alex BrooksPotts for his seventh of the year, briefly wresting the team goal-scoring lead from Craig Puffer. “I’m working hard and getting rewarded,” McColgan said of his three-game outburst. But Puffer wouldn’t let that stand. Moments later, with teammate Rory Bell causing a ruckus in the Prince George goal crease, the puck popped out of a crowd to Puffer. The Connecticut kid
wired a shot from the slot, beating Brooks-Potts for his seventh and a 2-1 Chilliwack lead. The Chiefs added one more before the period was done, with Liam Ferguson taking a pass from Tanner Campbell, bulling his way to the net and slipping a backhand shot into the cage. Campbell’s assist was his first BCHL point. An otherwise quiet third period got busy late after a power play goal by Grewal. With 4:33 remaining and his team on a fouron-three power play, the big blueliner wired a point shot through a crowd and past Pelino for his first of the year. Brooks-Potts came out with exactly one min-
ute to play as his team sought the equalizer, and Chilliwack’s Jake Larson almost iced the game with a rink-length shot that missed the empty cage by three inches. His Chiefs hung on for 15.8 more seconds, escaping with their seventh win of the year. The three stars were Puffer (first), Jordan Kawaguchi (Chilliwack, second) and Brooks-Potts (third). The Fortis BC Energy Player of the Game was Bell. Announced attendance was 1,966. The Chiefs are in Coquitlam Friday night and host the Express Saturday night (7 p.m.) at Prospera Centre. See bchl.ca
Things are certainly going well w ell for the Chiefs right now. The Chiefs sport a record of 7-1-0-1 and are fully deserving of that record. The best thing this team has going for it is its depth. While W hile many other teams depend on one line offensively, the Chiefs have nine forwards that can be counted on regularly and the fourth line contributed as well w ell Wednesday. Tanner Campbell set up Liam Ferguson for what turned out to be the game winning w inning goal. At least eight or nine forwards w ards can also kill penalties including Ryan Bowen, the yyoungest oungest player on the team. The T he same can be said for the power play where again most players on this team look right at home. On defense, it’s a very solid group of seven that can play in any situation. The T he group is down to five right now with injuries to Mark Esposito and Olivier Arseneau A rseneau but they got some help from 16 year old affiliate player Darren Rizzolo, who was w as very good in his BCHL debut Wednesday. He’ll likely play for the Chiefs this weekend w eekend and be a full time Chief next season. In goal, Aidan Pelino has started the last four games, but he and Mitchell Datz are still very much a 1A and 1B tandem. Give me either of those guys in a big game. They T hey are both above average goalies. This weekend’s opponent, the reigning BCHL champion Coquitlam Express, have struggled so far this season winning w inning just two of their first 10 games. On paper these games may look like a mismatch but any team coached by Barryy Wolff should not be
taken lightly. Expect two good games this weekend between these division rivals. In other Chiefs goings on, I get asked often if season tickets can still be purchased and the answer is yes. And despite having played a few w home games already, the price is still very good. The average per game cost forr the remainder of the season would be $6.22 for adults, $5.91 for seniors and justt $3.09 for a child or youth. If you are interested, give the Chiefs office a call att 604.392.4433. The Chiefs introduced Wacky Wednesday earlierr this week. All tickets were priced at $8.95 and you could get a hot dog and a pop att the game for $3. This will be in effect for the remaining three Wednesday home games this season as well. There will be more added to it as well, look for more details on that soon. Chiefs for ward Luke McColgan received an honorable mention for BCHL L player of the week last week. He was robbed. Five goals in two games should have given him the award. There hasn’t been a Chiefs game this year where forward Rory Bell was nott a candidate for the Fortis Energy Player of the Game. He brings it every game. The Chiefs will be sporting a different look Oct. 25 when they host the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. I can’t sayy much more other than I really like the look. Great colour scheme. That’s also induction nightt for the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame, giving you two great reasons to come to the rink. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

gle point (27-26) to the Pitt Meadows Marauder in their Oct. 3 opener, the Grizzlies lost 26-6 to Jesse Walker and the Mission Roadrunners last week. The Panthers are 1-1, with a 7-0 loss to Pitt Meadows followed by a 63-0 demolition of the SRT Titans. Chase Claypool is the big concern for the Grizzlies, a differencemaker who can win a game with very little help. “He scored five touchdowns on us last year,” noted GWG’s varsity head coach Laurie Smith.

A Friday Night Football double-header, high-school style, sees GW Graham hosting two games under the lights at Exhibition Stadium. The junior varsity Grizzlies lead off, taking on the Abbotsford Panthers in a game that kicks off at 5 p.m.
The juniors are in the playoff hunt, with a 2-1 record through three games. They’re coming off a big 33-21 win over Lord Tweedsmuir last Thursday, but they’ll have their hands full with the Panthers. Abby is unbeaten at 4-0 with two shutouts to their credit. In their most recent outing, the junior Panthers pummelled the Samuel Robertson Tech Titans 47-0. GWG’s senior squad goes looking for their first win Friday as they host Abbotsford’s seniors. After falling by a sin-

to continue his strong season and stretch his string of 100-yard games to six. He’s got to do so behind a wounded offensive line. Smith compensated last week by calling up four of the big boys from the JV team, and they played quite well. “Abbotsford has a very capable defense against the run so we need to get Terrell (quarterback Sparvier) and the passing game back on track,” Smith said. “Which means better protection up front. We do have a number of key players injured on the line and so we are hoping for some quick recovery times.”

Cascades host basketball showcase Basketball season revs up in a big way this week, as the University of the Fraser Valley hosts its annual preseason showcase series. The Cascades men’s and women’s teams will face a series of stiff tests against CIS programs from Ontario and B.C. on their home court, Abbotsford’s Envision Athletic Centre. Friday’s action features the women’s hoopsters facing the Queen’s Golden Gaels (3 p.m.) and the men playing the Trinity Western Spartans (7 p.m. in the North Gym).
The event wraps up on Saturday with the women clashing with the UBC Thunderbirds (5 p.m.). With just three weeks to go before the Cascades tip off the Canada West regular season – they open on the road vs. the UBC Okanagan Heat on Nov. 7 – these games are crucial preparation opportunities. “Right now, it’s just immersing ourselves in quality teams and trying to learn as much as we can from those experiences,” UFV women’s coach Al Tuchscherer said. “We’re trying to
build from one game to the next.” Headlining the visiting women’s teams, the Kingston, Ont.-based Golden Gaels figure to be among the OUA’s elite this season. They won their conference’s silver medal in 2013-14 to punch their ticket to the CIS Final 8, where they dropped both of their games to Canada West foes Saskatchewan and Alberta. “Queen’s is probably going to be one of the top teams out of Ontario this year,” said Tuchscherer, whose team won the bronze
medal at the 2014 CIS Final 8. “They were at nationals last year, and they have their entire team back. They’ve been building their team for a few years now.” UBC finished second to the Cascades in the Pacific Division of Canada West last season, posting a 16-6 record. “They’re a veteran squad and have a lot of real nice pieces – obviously good guard play, and they’re tough inside,” Tuchscherer said of the T-Birds. See ufvcascades.ca for more.
Top Dog parking spot up for grabs The Chilliwack Curling Club’s ‘Adult Learn to Curl’ program starts tomorrow night, but there’s still time to register. New students are welcome anytime during the first few weeks. The program starts with eight weeks of instruction on Friday nights, from 6:15 to 7:45 p.m., with a low studentto-instructor ratio. That’s followed by 10 weeks of games with on-ice mentors who will continue to hone technique and answer questions about skills and strategies. The cost of the program is $250 (taxes included) and all equipment is provided. “Former graduates of this program are now
enjoying the game as proficient curlers,” said club manager Bruce Renwick. “We have found that this is a great way to learn the game and provides much more enjoyment in their future curling years as they tend to make more shots.” Meanwhile, the CCC will also hold its annual
‘Top Dog’ competition Friday night at 7:45 p.m. This contest involves six curling shots, darts and a bean-bag toss. The winner gets one league-fee paid for, plus the biggest prize of all, the Top Dog parking spot. “This is a reserved parking spot in the staff parking area for the
season, and it is very coveted,” Renwick said. “If you’ve been around some nights, you know people have to walk a fair distance. The late draw each night has around 96 to 128 people curling, plus dart leagues three nights a week.” Get more curling info at curlchilliwack.org.

Honour for golf guru
The University of the Fraser Valley golf program made an impressive haul at the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association (CCAA) awards banquet on Tuesday evening in Quebec City. On the eve of the PING CCAA golf national championships – which both the Cascades men’s and women’s squads will be participating in – UFV’s Jen Woods, Connor O’Dell and Chris Bertram were honoured by the national body. Woods and O’Dell were named AllCanadians, while Bertram won the CCAA coach of the year award. Woods, a third-year golfer from Kelowna, was celebrated for a 2014 season which saw
her win the PacWest conference’s individual title by 10 strokes, highlighted by a victory at the season-ending UBC Okanagan tournament. She helped the Cascades women successfully defend their overall PacWest title, finishing a collective 26 strokes ahead of UBCO. “She’s the inspirational leader,” Bertram said of Woods. “In terms of her ability to get it done on the course, she’s it for us. She’s the biggest piece of the puzzle.” O’Dell, a third-year athlete from Maple Ridge, finished second in the PacWest’s individual men’s standings and won the Kwantlen tournament. He also led the Cascades men to their third straight conference title – they ended up 13 strokes ahead of the Camosun Chargers. “Connor has not only been UFV’s highestranked golfer, he’s also been a terrific veteran leader,” Bertram said. Bertram’s coach of the year nod marks the second straight year

he’s won the CCAA award, and adds to a trophy haul which also includes four of the past five PacWest coach of the year prizes. The 2014 season was a busy one for Bertram – he was a member of the coaching staff for Team Canada’s women’s team at the World University Golf Championships in Switzerland, and is serving as interim athletic director at UFV. The 2015 season promises to be just as eventful, as the Cascades host the CCAA national championships. “Chris has great vision, dedication and an unwavering love of varsity golf,” said CCAA golf convenor Albert Roche. “He is a class act, illustrating that nice guys can finish first. “Chris has been the driving force behind last year’s national successes as a coach at UFV and continues in his leadership role, stepping forward to secure the bid to host golf nationals in 2015.” This week, Bertram’s teams look to repeat as CCAA champions after

the second straight year, opens on Wednesday at the Club de Golf Lorette and continues through Friday. It’s a different course than last year’s event, which was con-

In Loving Memory
Christopher Harvey Gray May 2, 1974- October 19, 2013
No one could have predicted the events of that fateful day a year ago. So full of love and life. Planning for our futures. A life free of the animosity of the past. You were moving forward to be the best person you could ever be. Away from the hatred. Like a Pheonix from the ashes you arose from the negativity. Into a new future. I never told you just how very proud of you I am. I am so proud to have known you when you learned your “roar”. Oh Chris... I miss your smile. Your hugs. Your laugh. Your tenderness and kindness. Your silly, easy going nature to always bring a smile to my face. The way you made me feel so complete. I could never stay angry at you for long. My best friend. My closest companion. I needed you so much longer here, but I guess God needed you more in Heaven. I loved you then. I love you now. I’ll love you forever. You will forever be in my heart and soul. I will see you again. Until we meet again my dreams and memories have to be enough for now. Wait for me to come to you... when it is my turn. Until then, know I love you.

Celebration of Life
Jan. 23, 1940-Oct.13, 2014 Brenda Newby, born in Vancouver, BC, daughter of a long-time Chilliwack family, passed away at Lynn Valley Care Centre on October 13, 2014, surrounded by the love of her family. The four-year old who was sent home from VGH to die some 70 years ago after all measures were taken, unsuccessfully, to cure her of a brain tumour beat the odds and then some. In spite of having to deal with some limitations imposed on her by her early illness, Brenda was one of the happiest, at-peace people one could ever meet. She found her perfect niche in life as an LPN at VGH and later St. Paul’s, working with babies and children. She loved her young wards and was wellloved in return. She was predeceased by her mother, Phyllis Olsen; father, Dr. W.G. “Tony” Newby; stepmother, Constance Newby; brother, Bruce Newby; and partner, Frank Madsen.

OBITUARIES
Mary Jane Watkins It is with sadness that we announce the death of Mary Jane (May) Watkins at the age of 89. May passed away on Wednesday, September 17th at the Chilliwack Hospital. Mary Jane (May) Magee was born in Glasgow, Scotland on May 1, 1925. She entered the world with an irresistible urge to entertain people and, even at the age of three, needed no encouragement to enter talent contests on the pier at the local seaside. Over the years May joined many entertainment organizations and singing groups such as the Cast Offs at Cottonwood Village. She once confessed that when she heard music all her aches and pains seemed to disappear and she could move around the stage like a young woman. At school in Glasgow, May was interested in dressmaking, knitting, and cross-stitching. She planned to become a domestic science teacher. Unfortunately, World War II began before May finished school, and in order to avoid being evacuated to the country, she worked in a hat shop. When May was 17 she was drafted to serve in the civilian war service where she was involved in the intricate and precise manufacture of compasses for Allied ships and aircraft. In 1952 May married Richard William (Dick) Watkins. Five years later Dick and May left Scotland and immigrated to Montreal. In subsequent years they made their way across Canada, via Brandon Manitoba to British Columbia. Dick worked as an auditor for Canadian Pacific Railway and May worked for Fraser Valley Regional Library (FVRL). In 1970 they went to Ontario where May worked first for the Oakville Public Library and later for the Huron Country Library. In 1979 Dick and May returned to their beloved British Columbia and May went back to work for FVRL. They moved to Chilliwack in 1988.
John William McConnell It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear dad and grandpa John William McConnell on October 14, 2014. John was born May 20, 1943 in Chilliwack B.C. He was raised on several farms in the area where he learned how to work hard alongside his older brothers Jim and Melvin. John left school in grade 9 and shortly afterward joined the army where he served for three years, living two of them in Germany during the Cold War. Upon completion of his tour he received a medal for his time served and he moved to the Yukon where he worked in an asbestos mine for a year. He then made his way to Edmonton where he began his career of choice - plumbing. There he met the love of his life Norma Murphy and they were married in Chilliwack on December 1, 1973. To their union came two children, Shaun in 1975 and Shari in 1976. They joined Jayne, Norma’s daughter from a previous marriage and his three children were his pride and joy. In 1986 the family moved to Toronto so John could acquire his journeyman certification as a plumber. After earning this, John moved the family back to his birthplace of Chilliwack and in 1996 John and Norma began managing the Golden West Motel. They loved working alongside one another and together they made a great team. While doing so, John also continued plumbing and he worked long days and long hours between the two jobs. They continued their managerial position until 2005 at which point they both retired. John was a good and loving husband and father and he always tried to do his best in these roles that he cherished the most. Norma, Jayne, Shaun and Shari knew of his infinite love for them. As son-in-laws Steve and Troy joined the family, John welcomed them with open arms and with the same unconditional love. In his younger years, John was an amazing boxer and long distance runner. Later in life his hobbies became reading western novels, walking his beloved dog Buddy, collecting tools, shooting the breeze with good friends and watching the oldies television programs like “The Rifleman”. John was a caring and fun person who loved to make other people laugh through jokes or his infamous stories. He especially enjoyed telling stories to his beloved grandchildren and loved to share those that contained a life lesson. Indeed Dallin, Ashton, Jocelyn, Bryanne, Marin and Autumn were the beneficiaries of many lessons encompassed in laughter courtesy of Grandpa McConnell. When “additional” grandchildren Tim, Katie and Eric married into the family, John made sure to share his tales with them as well. We are saddened that Grandpa won’t be able to share them personally with his great grandchild Renne but we will remember him fondly as we relay them to her. John leaves all those he loved so dearly to mourn his loss as well as many other family and friends. He was predeceased just 7 short months ago by his beloved Norma after 40 years together. Notwithstanding their individual concurrent battles with cancer, they lovingly and faithfully put each others needs ahead of their own. John fought long and hard after Norma left us despite missing her terribly. We take comfort in knowing that his suffering is over and they are now reunited again. Thank you to the nursing staff at the Cascade Hospice, Dr. Madill, and Dr. Bull for the attentive care John received at your hand. Funeral services will be held at 10:00am, Monday October 20, 2014 at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints located at 6300 Tyson Road Chilliwack B.C. with Bishop David Robinson officiating. A reception to meet with the family will be held at the church prior to the service from 9:00am-9:50am. Interment will be at the Chilliwack Cemetery following the funeral. 10/14F_WO17
Dick died the following year in September 1989. Within months May saw a small notice in the local paper asking for people interested in their local library to form a Friends of the Chilliwack Library group. In the beginning teas and books sales were the main source of revenue. May became President of the Friends group in 1990 and remained in that position for ten years. Under her leadership the Friends instituted raffles, garage sales and various other fund raising events. One event that May started is the annual pet parade. In 2000 May decided to return to Scotland to be closer to the family. May returned to Chilliwack from Scotland in 2005 and immediately rejoined the Friends of the Library. This dedicated group supports library programs and services with innovative projects like Quiz Night and puzzle sales. In 2010, May was presented a certificate by the Friends in recognition of 20 years of service. A proud daughter of Scotland, May was often asked to speak at Robbie Burns and frequently gave the “Address to the Haggis”. May was predeceased by her brother Alastair. She is survived by her sister-in-law Marjorie Magee and nephews Gregg and Graeme (Edinburgh, Scotland). May’s family and friends would like to thank the staff at Birchwood Retirement Residence and the nursing staff at Chilliwack General Hospital for their care and support. A celebration of life tea will be held at the Birchwood Retirement Residence, 45650 Patten Ave., Chilliwack, BC on Monday, October 27th from 1:30-3:30pm. Donations in May’s name may be made to the Chilliwack SPCA or to the Friends of the Chilliwack Library. 10/14F_WO17
