MP describes Ottawa shooting Special praise for Sergeant-at Arms Vickers Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Good to be back. That’s how Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl describes being back at work after being in lockdown for hours after the tragic shooting in Ottawa Wednesday. “I think it sends a good message to Canada that we won’t be intimidated,” he said, echoing the Prime Minister’s earlier speech that morning. Everyone was back in their places, ready for the 10 a.m. opening of Parliament in the House of Commons Thursday morning, with the parade led by Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers and Speaker Andrew Scheer. “We were all released from Centre Block at about 8 p.m. last night,” Strahl told The Progress in a phone interview. Before that he, along with hundreds of MPs and senators were hunkered down after the brutal and violent attack, with gunfire ringing out in the halls. They were “gathered closely” behind barricades in two rooms right across from each other in the Centre Block. “When the gunshots were happening right outside, we were inside a windowless room,” the local MP said.

Salvation Army officials in Chilliwack are worried there won’t be enough food to meet the ever increasing demand at the local food bank. While donations fall, the number of food hampers provided each month continue to climb, leaving an empty storeroom.

Empty pallets prompt simple request Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The local Sally Ann is confounded by increased food bank use at a time when people are offering fewer donations. “That’s is likely what explains the empty pallets,” said Tim Bohr, community ministries director of Salvation Army in Chilliwack. They’re sending out a very simple message. Sally Ann won’t make it until Christmas if this trend continues. “Normally these empty pallets would be stacked five levels high with banana boxes

filled with donated food for the hungry,” he said. The warehouse is where they store food supplies distributed to the needy through food bank hampers. “There are two reasons why we think this is happening. The first is statistics show there’s been a steady increase in food bank usage. And the second thing is there has been a decrease in donations.” They’re not sure why on that last one. “We notice it by looking at the empty warehouse.” They are appealing to the public now to donate food and

Measured response in Chilliwack to Ottawa shooting Greg Knill The Progress Federal officials in Chilliwack moved cautiously Wednesday, following news of another attack on a Canadian soldier in Ottawa, and gunfire in the House of Commons. The death of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, who was killed while standing vigil at the nation’s war memorial, was the second in three days. It sparked immediate reaction in parts of the country, where bases were locked down and soldiers advised not to wear military fatigues. In Chilliwack, where a strong militar y presence remains, response was more measured. Gates at the Col. Roger St. John armoury on Keith Wilson – home to the 39th Combat Engineers and Royal Westminster Regiment –

remained open. However, a military police officer was stationed at the entrance, checking the ID of anyone who entered. Capt. Donna Riguidel said no official lockdown order was given to the military base here. Speaking from garrison headquarters in Edmonton, she said base commanders are given the discretion to assess the local situation and respond accordingly. Wednesday’s shooting follows the death of Canadian soldier Patrice Vincent who was struck and killed by a vehicle driven by Martin (Ahmad) Couture-Rouleau, while he was walking with another soldier in Quebec on Monday. Police believe the soldiers were targeted by Couture-Rouleau, who had recently joined a radical form

of Islam. The motive was behind Wednesday’s attack is still not clear. But senior politicians were suggesting it was terror related. In parts of the country Canadian Forces Bases and many other federal facilities were closed to visitors and military personnel were directed not to wear uniforms in

public unless they were on active duty. No specific order has been given here, Capt. Riguidel said, “however, the situation remains very fluid.” Several constituency offices around the country, including MP Mark Strahl’s Chilliwack office, were closed Wednesday. And the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre in Agassiz was briefly locked down. At the RCMP’s Pacific Region Training Centre in the Canada Education Park, the Officer in Charge said there was a subtle change in their operations. “Day to day business continues on, but we’ve heightened our security as we should after something like this,” said Michel Legault. “We’ve increased security at

the main entry points and restricted the number of access points accordingly. But the PRTC has not initiated any lock-down procedures today.” In Victoria, the B.C. Legislature restricted visitor access but was expected to proceed with its afternoon sitting, with extra security and the public galleries closed. Legislature clerk Craig James said staff received a heightened risk alert this week, and a small number of MLAs were made aware of it, but there was no specific threat against the B.C. legislature. In Metro Vancouver, Transit Police said they’ve stepped up security measures on the transit system, as did Vancouver International Airport. ~ With files from Eric Welsh and Jeff Nagel

Water ceremony at river before NEB testimonies Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Coast Salish tribal leaders from the U.S. and Canada came together for a sacred water ceremony by the Fraser River at Island 22 in Chilliwack Wednesday. They gathered just before giving testimony at the NEB hearings at the Coast Hotel Chilliwack later that afternoon, to show united opposition to the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. With an eagle flying overhead and rain holding off, they emptied containers of water into a tiny creek snaking down to the Fraser River. Coast Salish tribes from Washington State had tribal leaders, elders, fishers and youth who made the trek to Chilliwack. They brought fresh water from their territories to mix with local water from the Fraser, emphasizing the inter-connectedness of both the people, and the life-giving waters. Sto:lo Grand Chief Kat Pennier welcomed the visitors from tribes like Swinomish, Suquamish, Tulalip, and Lummi. The ceremony fitting, he said, since local Sto:lo have been networking with Coast Salish U.S. tribes on a range of environmental issues they have in common through

the Salish Sea. “This is a way of sharing our connections with each other, and taking care of the water that takes care of us,” said Pennier. The U.S. tribal reps are against the Kinder Morgan TransMountain pipeline expansion project because the increased tanker traffic “threatens the economy, culture and way of life of all Coast Salish Tribes,” according to joint a press release. Swinomish Tribal chair Brian Cladoosby, who is also president of the National Congress for American Indians, said it was “very important” that they come together and do the work. “We need to do it more often.” He said while Coast Salish look upon on the fish and waters as “their brother,” others only see it as “money.” “Our elders prayed that their grandchildren would stand up as stewards of the most beautiful place on earth; to be that voice to let them know that what has been done to Mother Earth in the past 100 years is no longer acceptable. “Our voice is going to continue to get stronger as we come together like this to show the world we are united.

Tulalip tribal leader Deborah Parker empties water from home into local waters in a sacred ceremony. She was in town with reps from four U.S. tribes to give testimony at the NEB hearings in opposition to the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion. JENNIFER FEINBERG/ PROGRESS

“We may be few in numbers, but we have that opportunity to tell our story, to tell our story, to tell our story. It’s to let them know it cannot any longer be business as usual.” Deborah Parker, tribal leader of the Tulalip Tribes, said each person there was taking care of Mother Earth, and they had connected through the water ceremony.

“It was to make us as one,” she said. Tribal reps are concerned the project will restrict fishing rights, access to fishing areas and the catastrophic risk of a spill in the Salish Sea. “This is heaven,” Parker said of the beautiful surroundings at the riverside. “We are all from a piece of that heaven, and if we take care of that heaven, we take

care of this mother, and she will take care of us. “And that is why I believe each and every one of us is here today is to take care of Mother Earth, and as a mother myself and as a life giver, that means the world to me,” she said voice quaking with emotion. “When we set our tables, how are we to set our tables if there is no fish? The proposed Kinder

Morgan pipeline project would roughly triple the capacity of the existing pipeline, and it would run alongside an existing pipeline that stretches from the Alberta tar sands oil fields to an oil shipping terminal in Burnaby, greatly increasing the traffic of oil tankers carrying diluted tar sands bitumen through Canadian and U.S. waters.

That’s the prediction from SFU criminology professor Rob Gordon, an authority on terrorism, in the wake of the attack Wednesday in Ottawa. The Canadian-born gunman who shot and killed a soldier at the National War Memorial and then died forc-

appears more likely to be an ISIS-inspired attack by a homegrown sympathizer without direction from organizers in Damascus or Baghdad. “It’s to try to deter and to demonstrate they have the power to bring the war to Ottawa – that you can’t sit thousands of miles away and expect to get away with it.” Gordon said more attacks are probable, adding various softer targets could be vulnerable. Remembrance Day is coming soon and will be a major test of bolstered security. “Major cenotaph gatherings have to be watched very carefully, if not cancelled.” Continued: SECURITY/ p5

against ISIS in Iraq. “It’s a tragedy for the Muslim communities in Canada because people will be extra careful around them,” Gordon said. “It’s going to test the boundaries of our tolerance. Hopefully people will not succumb to base emotions and will continue to treat ethnic and religious minorities in the same way they would want to be treated themselves.” He said the attack does not appear as sophisticated or successful as might have been expected had attackers been trained in the Middle East – a scenario that might have involved multiple synchronized attacks with bombs.

‘We stand united and we won’t be intimidated’ UNITED from Front They had no idea what was going on outside. They did not know that Hamilton reservist Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, 24 had been shot and fatally wounded by a masked man, as the soldier stood on guard at the National War Memorial. Strahl said their minds were racing. More than 30 gunshots had been heard by witnesses. How many gunmen were out there? They didn’t know. It turns out the assailant, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau, was taken down in a hail of security bullets in Centre Block, near where they were holding their weekly caucus meetings. “We didn’t know the majority of the gunfire was actually coming from security forces,” Strahl said. “So it was very tense.” At the same time everyone was acting reasonably, no one was panicking, says the MP. “It was fear of the unknown. But as things became clearer, the reports of multiple shooters turned out to be false rumours.”

Prime Minister Stephen Harper and all Members of Parliament applaud Kevin Vickers, Sergeant-at-Arms.

C

SECURITY from page 4 As for Parliament Hill, Gordon said security there was clearly inadequate in light of how close the gunman got to MPs and cabinet ministers, including the prime minister. He said he’s surprised there was no apparent move to bolster security on Parliament Hill – a “very obvious target” – in light of Monday’s attack against soldiers in Quebec by a man RCMP had previously identified as a “radicalized” threat. “That would have signalled to me the need to ramp up security at all potential targets.”

The MPs all rose to give Vickers a standing ovation, thundering applause for the man who felled the armed attacker. As Strahl recounted the tragic events for The Progress, his voice cracked with emotion when it came to describing the ovation given to Vickers, who heroically stopped the gunman. “Seeing the statesmen stand in the House for Mr. Vickers. It was a touching tribute to him, and to see all parliamentarians united in doing it, was pretty special,” he said, his voice breaking. “Mr. Vickers wears the robes and sword and carries the mace, but he’s also a 29-year member of the RCMP. “He takes his job of taking care of us very seriously.” It was a moving also, as the leaders made their statements. “They all resolved to say that we stand united and we won’t be intimidated. “We’re back at work today to continue to do the nation’s business.”

R AESIDE

Canada has been lucky for a great many years. Unlike the majority of countries around the world, terrorist acts, domestic or foreign, are rare in this country. Until this week, there hasn’t been a major terrorist incident on Canadian soil since the FLQ crisis in 1970. But we got a wake-up call Wednesday when an armed man killed a soldier guarding the National War Memorial in Ottawa and then moved on to Parliament. House of Commons Sergeant-at-Arms Kevin Vickers killed the gunman before he could kill anyone else, but the message here is clear. We are not immune. As we praise Vickers and mourn Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, there is a looming question of what the future holds for us as a country and a people in the coming days. As the flag flies at half-mast over the B.C. legislature MLAs are already talking about installing metal detectors and other security measures in Victoria, which can only be considered a necessary reaction, considering the events of Wednesday. But with the shocking incident so fresh, it is hard to predict how much will change or how long those changes will last. Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada, summed it up well. “It is a day of tragedy. We must ensure we keep our responses proportionate to whatever threat remains.” However horrific this incident is, it shouldn’t be allowed to change Canada’s character as a nation devoted to peace and striving, however uncertainly, toward a just society. Too many countries, including our neighbour to the south, have gone down the road of letting national security trump human rights. But come this Remembrance Day, along with the usual observances, be sure to set aside a few extra moments to remember both Cpl. Cirillo, senselessly killed in the performance of his duties and Sergeant-at-Arms Vickers, who prevented further tragedy. ~ Black Press

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Ottawa attack should bring call for greater vigilance One haunting image defines Wednesday’s horrific assault on Parliament Hill. It was the lady leaning over Cpl. Nathan Cirillo as he lay dying from a terrorist’s bullet while guarding the nation’s War Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. She was giving him mouth-tomouth resuscitation in a desperate effort to save his life. A complete stranger, she had been going about her normal day when Cirillo was shot at close range in the chest. But the 24-yearold reservist from Hamilton and dad to Marcus, who just started kindergarten, died during that fateful morning from his injuries. The murder of a fine, dedicated soldier performing the most honourable of duties hits at the very soul of Canadians and our most precious ideals. That infamous day of violence was a strike not only against Parliament, our polit-

ical leaders and law enforcement people but against all Canadians and what our country stands for – freedom, democracy, and peace. The gunman, Canadian-born Michael ZehafBibeau, 32, had a criminal record and had lived, among other cities, in Vancouver. Once inside the Centre Block of Parliament, he Margaret strode down the Hall of Honour EVANS right past the Reading Room where PM Harper was meeting with his caucus then engaged in a shootout with police near the Librar y of Parliament. He was shot and killed by Sergeantat-Arms Kevin Vickers, a former RCMP officer and the man responsible for Hill security.

Vickers, whose typical profile is in ceremonial dress and carrying a mace, performed his call to duty in a manner hailed as heroic across the country and, on Thursday, received a standing ovation from all political parties. But for a few moments before the gunfire, Bibeau was just seconds from the Prime Minister. One turn and a kicked-open door could have led to a catastrophic outcome. And the timing of the attack on Parliament hasn’t gone unnoticed. On Monday, just 48 hours before, Quebec jihadist Martin CoutureRouleau is alleged to have struck two members of the Canadian Armed Forces with his car near Montreal. One soldier later died of his injuries. Couture-Rouleau was subsequently shot and killed by police. It was believed that the hit-and-run incident was linked to terrorist ideology and it raised

Progress

the probability of a terror attack from ‘low’ to ‘medium’. Our terror threat escalated when Canada committed to fight ISIS and join coalition forces in an airstrike on Iraq. Canadian CF-18s left on Tuesday. De-radicalizing these malevolent, cold-blooded lunatics is easier said than done. While the disillusioned or misinformed have left Canada and travelled to the Middle East to continue their radicalization under the brutally fanatical ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Levant), some have returned to bring their barbarity home, 88 of whom are on a watch list. Earlier this week, members of the B.C. Legislature had been contacted about concerns that Ottawa had regarding a non-specific security threat. Questions are now being raised as to how it was possible

that someone could kill a soldier at the Cenotaph, walk across the expansive Hill lawn, run up the steps of Centre Block and enter Parliament armed with a rifle before being stopped. Should security staff be armed? For sure, security needs to be heightened to confront future rogue loners or copycats seeking similar mayhem. We took a hit yesterday. But we’ve touched the face of terror before. Think FLQ, the War Measures Act, Air India, the Squamish Five bombings. Bibeau, recently converted to Islam, was on a one-way walk into Parliament. He likely had no intention of coming out alive but planned on doing as much destruction as possible before, he must have surmised, he would be shot. Wednesday was a wake-up call for greater vigilance.

Teach kids to be good parents Psychologically sound parents aside, cases of children receiving psychologically dysfunctional rearing are far too common. The most crucial aspect of parents’ rearing their offspring involves that of their children’s psychological well-being and functionality as well as that of the physical, both at home and especially while desiring to harmoniously blend into society. Thus, society could do much more for our children of the future by, for one thing, adding to seniorsecondary education curriculum the very basics of psychologicallysound child rearing. If society wants functional youth

-- and, therefore, eventually mentally-functional teens who become socially-crucial taxpaying adults – it only makes sense to establish and implement high-school curriculum that includes courses, or even one course, on (at least) basic child psychology and rearing that would commence in Grade(s) 11 and/ or 12. One of the primary cases in point in such a course would be, Yelling or blatantly screaming at your kids is totally antithetical to rearing functional children. Such pre-emptive education would at least somewhat prepare our young people regarding the offspring they may bear one day, especially in regards to mostly

common-sense yet crucial lessons such as never to lose their composure when it comes to negative, especially destructive outburst emotions when dealing with such fragile, malleable minds. When considering the fact that children are vulnerable to developing dysfunctional thought processes and characteristics in their later years because of psychologically flawed rearing during their first six years of life, should we, and especially our willfully silent news media, be allowed the irresponsibility of remaining silent on the above-mentioned issue and as-ofyet untried pre-emptive treatment.

A call to bring back capital punishment I have to agree with, Jay Nauss. The law is far too lenient with violent criminals. They can’t use the excuse about it being inhumane. You have to be human, to be treated humanely. Cold blooded murderers and pedophiles are not human. They are monsters that do not deserve to be treated with decency. The other excuse that is used is that somebody

would be wrongly executed. It is 2014 and DNA testing and forensic science have come a long way. I understand that it is not always black and white. If someone has murdered in self-defence, then that is a different story. As there may be certain cases, where it has been in self-defence. Or a murder has been committed, to protect an innocent that has been

abused. The law has failed to protect the innocent party. So therefore they have chosen to take the law into their own hands. Those certain cases would not happen if the law punished convicted criminals properly. I do not understand how the criminals seem to have more protection than the victims. Something drastic needs to happen, otherwise things are only going to

get a lot worse. I also don’t agree that certain evidence is dismissed. Just because the law says that it wasn’t obtained correctly. If it proves that the guilty party is actually guilty. Then it should not make a difference how it was obtained. The priority should be to keep people safe and to jail criminals.

Lake said guidelines are also being revised for personal protective equipment for health care workers who assess or treat patients who may have Ebola. “Staff will be fully covered, with no skin showing,” he said. “Equipment will include full body suits, long, fully impervious gowns, separate level 4 hoods, face shields, surgical masks and N95 respirator masks.” The fit-tested N95 masks were demanded by the B.C. Nurses Union after a Fraser Health official previously said they were not necessary. A buddy system is also mandated to ensure proper donning and doffing of protective gear. “The risk remains very low, but our vigilance remains high,” Lake said. A task force struck by the province is conferring frequently with various organizations and unions that represent or regulate health care workers to field questions and concerns.

Emergency room and front-line staff at all other hospitals are also being trained on procedures to isolate and handle any patient that arrives with symptoms and a travel history that could indicate Ebola. Patients initially identified at any hospital get further screening in an isolation room to determine if they can be ruled out as a suspect patient, otherwise they are sent to the referral hospital to await testing.

Liquefied natural gas producers are being asked to pay a new tax of 3.5 per cent on their profits for the first 20 years of operation in B.C., after deducting their startup costs. Finance Minister Mike de Jong unveiled the LNG tax system Tuesday, describing it as lower in total taxes and royalties than existing and proposed LNG export facilities in Australia, Alaska, Oregon and other U.S. states that are B.C.’s main competitors. De Jong said B.C. scaled back its plan to charge up to seven per cent in the face of declining gas market conditions, including slower growth in China and its new long-term deal to buy pipeline gas from Russia. Japan is also considering restarting its nuclear power program after the 2011 Fukushima earthquake, and oil prices have declined in recent months. Under the B.C. plan, a single medium-sized LNG plant on the B.C. coast would pay about $800 million a year in total provincial taxes after a three-year construction period. That includes the new LNG tax, royalties on gas produced in B.C., carbon tax, provincial

www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309

sales tax and corporate income tax. “That’s more than we got from the whole forest sector this year,” de Jong said. There are currently 18 proposals for LNG plants in B.C., ranging from small to those twice the size of the finance ministry’s medium-plant example. One of the largest is LNG Canada, a consortium of Shell, PetroChina, Mitsubishi and Korea Gas to build a pipeline and export terminal at Kitimat. LNG Canada issued a statement Tuesday saying it will continue to work on its B.C. plan. “There is much more work to do prior to a final investment decision for LNG Canada and we will continue working with First Nations and local communities, as well as municipal, provincial and federal governments,” it said. De Jong said the B.C. Liberal election promise to pay off the province’s debt with LNG revenues remains possible, but it will take longer than earlier estimates. A single medium-sized is worth $8 billion in revenues over a 10-year period of full operation. NDP natural gas critic Bruce Ralston said the government had to slash its tax plan after it hyped the LNG revenue windfall to voters in the 2013 election campaign. That put B.C. in a weaker negotiating position with international investors, Ralston said.

DENTAL IV SEDATION Now that you know more about the many dental procedures we perform, lets discuss your options on anesthesia. This decision will be made by you and Dr. Singh together based on your physical well-being and your emotional comfort. Dr. Singh is highly trained and experienced in all types of anesthesia, including local anesthesia, oral and IV sedation, nitrous oxide (laughing gas) and, most importantly, general anesthesia. Dr. Singh’s office is the only fully accredited general anesthesia facility

in Chilliwack where patients can be put to sleep for their

surgical procedures. Keep in mind that there are different levels of IV sedation ranging from conscious sedation to deep sedation. Conscious IV sedation helps a

patient to relax similar to oral sedation however the patient is still not asleep. In British Columbia, a dental office must pass a thorough inspection by the College of Dental Surgeons of BC in order to provide deep IV sedation or general anesthesia. If you are considering being ASLEEP for your surgical procedure at any dental office, you should ensure the facility is certified by the College of Dental Surgeons of BC and that the staff, surgeons & anesthetists are certified in advanced cardiac life support.

Chilliwack Christmas Craft Market continues 40-year tradition Celebrating its 40th anniversary, the Chilliwack Christmas Craft Market has become an annual tradition to kick off the holiday shopping season. The market, which takes place at Chilliwack Heritage Park Nov. 14 to 16, provides the perfect opportunity to pick up one-of-a-kind, handcrafted items for gifts that are truly unique. Discover aisles filled with gourmet preserves, sweet treats, pottery, wood carved pieces, bath and body care, jewelry, toys, clothing, home décor and so much more. Featuring artisans from across B.C., the market is a great way to meet and support local vendors. Chilliwack based potter Ted Driediger (Driediger Pottery) began participating in 1976 as a way to showcase his studio to the public. Thirty-eight years later and now a well-established potter, Driediger continues to participate for the fun and friendly atmosphere. Says Driediger: “Although sales are important, the fun thing about the Market is meeting up with old friends and crafters we only see once a year.” The 40th Annual Chilliwack Christmas Craft Market at Heritage Park runs Nov. 14 – 16, from 10 a.m. – 9 p.m. on Friday, 10 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. on Sunday. Admission is $3 with children 10 and under admitted free. For more information visit chilliwackartscouncil.com, or call 604-769-ARTS (2787)

People take a close look at some of the more than 50 bowls up for grabs during The Pottery Bowl event at the Art Room on Saturday. The soup-and-bowl fundraiser featured dozens of bowls handmade by local potters and painted by local celebrities. The event raised and estimated $1,800 for arts programming offered by the Chilliwack Community Arts Council. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Henning Jensen: Bringing the fruit of the elderberry to Yarrow I have always been under the impression that blueberries were somehow superior to all other berries; not only popular because of their taste, but because of their high antioxidant capacity which is essential for maintaining good health. Then I met Henning Jensen and he convinced me otherwise. Henning runs Yarrow Elderberry Farm, the only producer of flowers and berries in Western Canada. “I chose to grow elderberries because I have a 3-½ acre farm. I ruled out raspberries because they were too labour intensive and blueberries because 10-14F JM24

received a diploma in forestry. “I always worked with dad in the carpentry business which is what got me through BCIT,” he smiled. For about 1-½ years, Henning worked as a beachcomber and even had a bit part in the longrunning Canadian comedy-drama, the Beachcombers. “For a couple of years, I was also in the maintenance department at Capilano College. I saved up enough money to buy a house in Yarrow. Ted Holtby and I had both gone to BCIT together and we became good friends. I helped him build a house so I’d come out here quite often and then one day, I decided

since he’d logged and farmed in the country more than 20 years earlier. However, during the early ’30s Canada was gripped by the depression and times were tough so in 1934, he returned to Denmark and started up a furniture factory. “He also opened up a driving school and car rental business which was run by my mother but after awhile he got tired of paying 71 per cent income tax which led to him to sell off everything and we returned to Canada,” he said. The family settled in West Vancouver. After graduation, Henning went to BCIT and

too many plants are needed to be competitive,” he said. Running the farm is not Henning’s mainstay, though, given that he is, first and foremost, a master carpenter. Henning was born and raised Ana in Denmark but MACEDO he immigrated with his family to Canada in 1956. “We landed at Pier 21 in Halifax as most people did back then,” he smiled.

to move out here,” he said. As the owner of acreage, Henning had to determine what he could grow. “You have to think outside of the box. I planted 264 trees in 2000 which allowed me to qualify as a grower and with farm status, I was also able to cut down the amount of tax that I paid,” he said. Elderberry is actually a wind pollinated small tree, with an abundance of delicate white flowers emerging as berry clusters. Sometimes it is propagated as an ornamental shrub.

Cute ute continues charm assault on Canadians It’s hard to remember a time when we didn’t have the RAV4 in Canada. Toyota helped develop the “cute-ute” vehicles from Japan, along with the Honda CR-V. We had never seen anything like these vehicles

before but they went on to forever change the marketplace and the way a family gets around. Today the compact SUV market has become so popular it will soon exceed the compact car in terms of overall sales, which has been,

for decades, the cornerstone of the Canadian marketplace. The Toyota RAV4 continues to be a sales market leader and for good reason. Many buyers put their money into what I call “The Bank of Toyota” and know they will get a good

return in terms of reliability, practicality and resale value. Looks: In terms of design, Toyota wanted to make this latest RAV4 more of an emotional purchase and not just a rational choice. The design has been sharpened with more

flow from the front bumper and headlamps into a swept windshield and added character lines. Gone is the old swing-out tailgate, replaced by a proper lift gate, which is now framed with protruding tail lamps that look unique

but also help with aerodynamics. One area that could use an update are the cheap looking hubcaps. These come standard on the $24,005 base front wheel drive (FWD) LE trim level and $26,270 AWD model. To get proper looking

My time with the RAV4 LE confirmed that Toyota knows how to make a thoroughly practical and easy to use vehicle that pleases all passengers.

alloy wheels the buyer needs to spend $28,340 for the XLE FWD or $30,540 for the XLE AWD. In the mid-sized sedan market many cars, like the Honda Accord, costing the same amount as the base RAV4 come with nice looking alloy wheels as standard equipment. Inside: The interior is a study in how to maximize space for a family but some of the small details could use refinement. The dash face is now covered with soft materials and looks much better thanks to the French stitching but this same panel also obscures the switches hidden below. The seat-heating buttons, the Eco and Sport settings for the transmission are all switches the driver access frequently but they are not as easy to see, as they should be. Other than the dash there is still a large percentage of the interior covered in hard plastic. The up side is a well laid out interior configuration. The doors open to a wide angle and expose a big back seat with a flat floor, for easy access. The front seats are comfortable and now the driver’s seat has a manual height adjustment. Standard features include tilt and telescopic steering, Bluetooth connectivity, USB connection and air conditioning. The LE $1,500 upgrade package is worthwhile because it includes the very important heated front seats, larger 6.1-inch display audio with backup camera and upgraded speakers. This brings the price up to $27,835. Drive: Honda recently unveiled the new 2015 CR-V that utilizes direct injection engine technology and a slick, new continuously variable transmission. Not the case with the Toyota RAV4, it uses the same 176hp 2.5L 4-cylinder found in the last model and is matched to a 6-speed automatic. Launching from a traffic light is brisk and the noise inside the cabin is fairly continued from page 24

You can shop for groceries around town in it but a trip up to a local ski hill will certainly not stress out the Mercedes GLA.

Alexandra Straub

BURLINGTON, VT.- Three seems to be a number that tends to rub people the wrong way. Expressions like “Three’s a crowd,” or “bad things come in threes,” or someone being described as the “third wheel” don’t leave a favourable impression in people’s minds. On the flip side, there’s “third time’s a charm,” implying that the third time is the best time. Third is also a podium finish! For Mercedes-Benz, three is a magical number. Thanks to the introduction of their all-new GLA – the third installment into their compact vehicle segment – the triangle is complete. And yes, good things do come in threes. Here’s why. Of the three vehicles available in North America that are built on the same platform – the B-Class, CLA and now GLA – the GLA gives owners the ability to go on and off-road. Okay, let me qualify that. Though it does come with Downhill Speed Regulation (DSR)- an off-road specific feature - it’s not meant for brutish off-roading. However, it is competent on cottage country roads or if you need to traverse into areas you couldn’t get into with a B Class or CLA. Whether you’re opting for the GLA 250 or the GLA 45 AMG, both trims come standard with Mercedes-Benz’s fully variable 4MATIC all-wheel drive. You can shop for groceries around town in it but a trip up to a local ski hill will certainly not stress out the vehicle. Rest assured. The GLA also marks it as the first compact premium sports utility vehicle from the German automaker. Despite its compact designation, four adults could fit comfortably inside. Five might be a stretch but it’s certainly possible. Along with the warm bodies inside, it has a cargo capacity of 421 L. That increases to an impressive 1,235L with seats folded. What’s even more impressive is the sound that comes from the AMG sports exhaust system. A system with two chrome-plated tailpipe trim elements featuring a twin- pipe design. It’s hard to imagine that’s the burble and brawn of a 2.0L, four-cylinder engine. That’s right, the 355 horsepower and 332 lb-ft of torque are created from the most powerful series production four-cylinder passenger car engine in the world. Needless to say, the engine’s pairing with the 7G-DCT 7-speed dual clutch automatic transmission is as delicious as Ben and Jerry’s Chunky Monkey ice cream; ice cream

160 kilometres on a single charge, but it’s capable of going longer distances if the conditions are right and the driver conserves power. The battery pack can be charged up to 80 per cent of its full capacity within 30 minutes when connected to a dedicated (level 3) DC fast charger. A level two (typical home unit) charger hooked up to a 240V outlet can do a full charge in less than eight hours. The portable (level 1) charger can be used to top-up power and connects to any (110-volt) electrical outlet. The charger port is hidden behind a small door up front. The ultra quiet Leaf has a speaker near the front of the vehicle that makes a humming sound, at low vehicle speeds, to alert pedestrians to its presence. Like all electric motors, full power is available immediately. The (regenerative) brake pedal feel is a little different and the lack of telescopic steering column may put-off some buyers. The 2012 Nissan Leaf was essentially unchanged, however, the 2013 model year brought a bunch of technology upgrades and a new lowerpriced base S trim level. An upgraded 6.6KW onboard charger is capable of reducing level 2 charge time (with 30-amp service) to under four hours. This Leaf also comes with an improved energy management and regenerative braking systems, a more efficient heater and improved aerodynamics. Although the Leaf has consistently received a ‘Top

Safety Pick’ rating from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the 2013 edition got a ‘poor’ rating in a new (and tougher to pass) small overlap frontal crash test. This test is designed to replicate what happens when the front corner of a vehicle collides with another vehicle or a fixed object like a tree or utility pole, at 64 km/hour (40 mph). While saving money on fuel is great, most Leaf owners are more concerned about the environment and our dependency on oil. So far, general reliability appears to be very good and EV maintenance costs are typically lower than a gas engine vehicle. Limited availability on the used car market is not too surprisingly, as most owners are hanging on to their Nissan Leaf.

5-Spoke wheels with all-season tires and more. Inside, the cabin is draped in ARTICO leather upholstery; a synthetic alternative to cowhide. Then there’s a 5.8-inch full colour TFT display atop the centre stack; it increases to 7-inches if you opt for the navigation system. The fit and finish is fantastic and the overall ambiance of the cabin is cozy but not cramped. For the undulating roads, mixed with switchbacks and straight stretches, you have the help of electromechanical power steering to weave you in and out of the Vermontonian roads. And if things get a little monotonous on the highway, pop the GLA 45 AMG into sport mode, give it (a little) throttle and enjoy the sweet sound of driving pleasure.

low. The steering is easy to maneuver but some might find the feedback to be too vague. Adjustable engine and transmission settings help the RAV4 to either use less fuel or perform better. The Eco button changes the settings of the car to improve fuel economy plus there is a small Eco light that reminds the driver when the car is being driven most efficiently. The Sport buttons holds the transmission a little longer between shifts for more responsiveness. Fuel economy is rated at 10.5L/100km in the city and 8.2L on the highway, using the new more stringent 2015 fuel economy test. The RAV4 was a solid leader on the fuel economy front but the new Honda CR-V now claims that crown.

Verdict: Toyota is often criticized for not being bold enough in some of the choices it makes. Honda now has up-to-date technology in the new CR-V but Toyota is sticking with what works. This approach might be viewed as a step behind but other might look at it as tried-and-true technology that is reliable and still delivers solid fuel ratings. Toyota RAV4 was a pioneer in the small SUV space and continues to be a market leader but now the market is so crowded with entries I suspect it will need to get new engine technology when it is totally refreshed in a few years. My time with the RAV4 LE confirmed that Toyota knows how to make a thoroughly practical and easy to use vehicle that pleases all passengers.

Community Haunted house talk includes ghost stories Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Every house has a story behind it, said author Eve Lazarus. Lazarus is bringing some really scary stories to town next Thursday night for her haunted house talk at the Royal Hotel. She’s also got a few intriguing facts to share about a creepy Chilliwack house that used to stand at Williams Street and Portage Avenue in Chilliwack. The three-storey house was eventually demolished by 1975, but

at one point it was attracting hordes of curious ghost hunters and lookieloos. “It looked really creepy, especially with the turret at the top,” said Lazarus, who hopes to visit where it once stood. As a former journalist and communications expert, she researched many historic homes for her books. Most houses have a history, “much like a person has a history,” she said. The famous local haunted house was owned by the Fredrickson family who moved into the Williams Street manor

in the 1960s, when really strange things started happening. Dresser drawers opening in an unoccupied bedroom were just the start of the unsettling events. Doors opened by themselves. Footsteps were heard on the stairs. Hetty Fredrickson, an artist, reported hearing breathing sounds and smelled perfume, while re-occurring nightmares made for sleepless nights. She began painting the figure she saw in her dreams: a woman in a yellow and red dress. As she painted, the portrait of the woman began to take on a life of its own. But she would awake to find the painting slowly morphing into a picture of a man. Word spread about the haunted house and the family had to deal with visitors flocking to the house. More than 700 visitors dropped by the house one day in June of 1966, reported The Progress at the time. They were an unruly mob, breaking things as they tried to catch a glimpse of the ghost. “When I started looking at these houses for my book, certain things

would pop up, like those details,” she said. Details like unsolved murders, and tonguewagging scandals make for interesting reading. Lazarus even wrote a blog on how not to buy a “murder house.” Owners, of course, have to disclose what they know, if they know something. She’ll talk about her new book, Sensational Vancouver, and her earlier work, At Home with History. The pre-Halloween event is free of charge, and will include a behindthe-scenes tour of the historic Royal Hotel in downtown Chilliwack. More about the author at http://evelazarus.com/ Author Eve Lazarus offers at free hanted house lecture at the Royal Hotel on Thursday, Oct. 30 at 7 p.m.

Join author Sanford Osler at Sardis Library, Tuesday, Oct. 28, 7-8 p.m. for a fascinating look at the ancient and seemingly simple watercraft that helped shape British Columbia. Sanford has been involved with canoes from childhood and has paddled in virtually all the types of craft covered in his new book Canoe Crossings. He’ll share beautiful images and other highlights from his book.

Ideally, he would like to see more elderberry growers and processors setting up in B.C. but for now, Henning will continue to operate his farm; a place where he is able to put his land into production and where he has the ability to drive his passion for this super berry!

up with trends in the industry by regularly attending conferences in the US and Europe as well as consulting with agricultural experts and doing ongoing research on the benefits of the fruit. “I have also met the head of the largest elderberry co-op in the world which is located in Austria,” he mentioned.

“The biggest work that I have is pruning them in the winter. The trees flower in May and the berries can be harvested by mid-August. By September, they’ve basically petered off,” he said. Henning concedes that elderberries are better known in Europe where they can be found in an assortment of food and beverage products. “They are a great way to prevent colds since they give your immune system a boost. You can use both the flowers and berries and there are a variety of items that can be produced including ale, juice, cordial, jam, jelly, tea, syrup and some dry the berries and put them on things like fruit pizza. There are quite a few Europeans that come out to the farm.” Elderberries are still a novelty to many

North Americans but this tiny black fruit yields an abundance of juice for its small size. There have been many experiments on the benefits of elderberries and modern research holds that this berry may have many healing properties. Although he’s the lone grower in these parts, Henning keeps

The Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame will hold its second annual induction night Oct. 25 at Prospera Centre. During the first period intermission of a BCHL game between the Chilliwack Chiefs and Alberni Valley Bulldogs, worthy recipients will be honoured with an on-ice ceremony. Today, a look at one of the inductees, the legendary 3-Field Squadron hockey team that won the first ever Canadian Armed Forces Hockey Championship.

It’s the spring of 1968. Carl Marsh and some of his 3-Field Squadron teammates are in the stands in a frigid rink in Petawawa, ON. On the ice, another hockey team is doing line rushes. Up and back Up and back. Up and back. CFB Rockcliffe has the ice for two hours and they use every minute. Their boys are winded grabbing water at the bench, and the Chilliwack boys just shake their heads. When it’s their time to hit the ice, they only use 45 minutes. Some casual line rushes. A little passing and shooting and off to relax.

They are watched from the stands by another opponent, and Marsh hears the disparaging remarks. “What are these guys doing?” “What a joke.” Going into the first-ever Canadian Armed Forces Hockey Championship, 3-Field was a nobody from nowhere. Picked from a unit of 250-300 men, going up against bases of 50007000 men, they were seen as an oddity — a team that would be quickly dispatched and sent back to the sticks. “They never expected us to win it,” said Max Brennan, one of the key forwards on the team. “They didn’t think we’d come close to them. But the thing is, we weren’t their calibre. We were stronger than all of them.” The core of their team came from the 3-Field Western Amateur Hockey League team, which snapped up every good player that came through town, and 3-Field had been getting better and better each year. They would have been even more formidable had they been able to bring their full contingent. But because they were travelling to a military tournament, they couldn’t bring civilians. Ten of their regulars had to stay home, and even coach Orv Litchfield had to step aside. The roster was augmented with servicemen from a nearby base in Aldergrove, including Wally Grant. “We weren’t familiar with Wally at all, but he was good,” Brennan said. “He didn’t like playing with me and Boots

(Don Boutilier) though because we passed the puck between the two of us all the time.” 3-Field knew they had the talent to spare, with guys like Brennan, Boutilier, Marsh, Wayne Jones, John Healie and team captain Bob Fiddler. Doug ‘Smokey’ Grossart was in his early 1940s, a rock on defence who acted as a player-coach. Jones was a talented rushing defencemen, helping to get the puck up ice time after time. Manager Gus Collins and trainer Butch Goodey always made sure they were well prepared, and the team proved their worth as they steamrolled their way through a zone qualifier in Comox. 3-Field brought two goalies to Petawawa. Larry Anderson was a butterfly style netminder. Larry Jensen played more of a stand-up style, and the team interchanged them effectively to throw off opponents. What 3-Field lacked was depth. The big bases could roll three or four lines, while 3-Field played most of the time with two lines and four defencemen. But after 3-Field bombed CFB Bagotville 8-4 in their opening game, everyone knew the Westerners were no joke. Brennan had four goals. And if any doubt remained after that, it dissipated after 3-Field pummeled the pretournament favourite Trenton Flyers. The final score was 6-2. “A guy from Trenton told us afterwards, ‘You

guys just won the cup,’” Brennan said. Another pre-tourney favourite had already been sent packing by someone else, leaving 3-Field to face CFB Rockcliffe in the final. The score was close (4-2), but the ice was heavily tilted in 3-Field’s favour. “The reason the score against Rockcliffe was close was because of their goalie, and we were losing that one 1-0 after two periods,” Brennan said. “Sheez! We were in their zone the entire time, but we couldn’t score on that guy!” “Rockcliffe gave us a real hard time, and

it was still 2-2 around the 12 minute mark of the third period,” added Marsh, who scored the winning goal. Not one of the team’s biggest guns, Marsh never scored a bigger goal. “There was a faceoff in Rockcliffe’s end, and Bob (Fiddler) rearranged me a bit,” Marsh said. “The puck came back pretty fast and I raised my stick. They thought I was going to let it through to Jones, who was behind me, but I caught the goalie off-guard with a shot that he didn’t see.” Jones iced it a few minutes later and the title was 3-Field’s.

The team may have won again had the unit not been scattered the year after. Brennan, Grossart and several of the stalwarts were posted out, gutting the team. “If we could have kept it together, we would have won it year after year, I know,” Brennan said. “The stars lined up for one year.” Few people truly appreciated the gravity of 3-Field’s achievement at the time, and over time they slowly faded from memory. But the Western Hockey League Bruins honoured the team a few years back, and now the spotlight shines on

them again. Marsh will be at Prospera Centre Saturday night. So will Grossart, who’s 91 years old now. Gus Collins is traveling down from Lone Butte and Don Fiddler is making the trip to represent his brother. It promises to be a special night. “Who’d have thought that anyone would remember us 46 years after we did this,” Marsh marvelled. “Someone thought to nominate us and I think that’s really great.” Get more info on the CSHOF online at chilliwacksportshalloffame. com.

Busy weekend at the rink Glen Ringdal has spent most of this week prepping his costume, writes Jacob Bestebroer No shortage of happenings at Prospera Centre this weekend. The Chiefs take to the ice Friday night versus the Powell River Kings before hosting the Alberni Valley Bulldogs Saturday. Both games face off at 7 p.m. Friday night is also Western Night, with prizes awarded to the best-dressed cowboy and cowgirl. Despite not being eligible to win, Chiefs president Glen Ringdal has spent most of this week prepping his costume. And singing his favorite Tex Ritter songs. I’ve worked from home for the majority of the week. Saturday night will see the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame’s Class of 2014 inducted during the first period intermission. The 50-50 that night will see the proceeds go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Fans also get a look at the team sporting a new/old look Saturday. With this being the 25th season of Chiefs hockey, the team will be wearing a few different retro jerseys beginning with the original blue red and white look that the team wore for its first eight seasons. During those eight seasons, the jerseys had a few different looks. The ones being worn Saturday are copies of the jerseys that the team wore during their first championship season in 1994-95. These jerseys will be worn a few times prior to Christmas. How many times may depend on the result of

Saturday’s game. We also hope to have a few members of the 1994-95 team taking part in the ceremonial faceoff prior to the game. Beginning next week, keep an eye on the Chiefs website for a series of ‘where are they now’ features on members of that team. There are no shortage of great stories about, and those guys never get tired of telling them. To be honest, I never

get tired of listening to them. Back to the present now where the Chiefs finally have their first BCHL Player of the Week winner in forward Craig Puffer. He had six goals in the Chiefs three wins last week. Those three wins vaulted the Chiefs into sole possession of first place in the Mainland division and up to 11th in this week’s national rankings. The Chiefs have nine wins through the season’s first 11 games which is the second best start in franchise history, trailing only the 1991-92 team that started with 10 wins in 11 games. That team came back

to earth after that, winning just four of their next 11 games. Puffer is not the only member of the Chiefs to get off to a great start offensively. Kurt Black and Jordan Kawaguchi are both averaging a point per game, but the most surprising numbers belong to defenceman Eric Roberts. He’s never been known as an offensive defenceman. His career high for points came last year when he scored a goal and nine assists in 51 games. This season he’s already matched that point total with 10 assists in 11 games. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

In addition to her parents, Alisen was preceded in death by her 8 month old son Rae, her 33 year old daughter, Diane, her older sister, Eileen and her younger sister, Fae. Her husband Wade passed away in 2012 after 76 years of marriage. She was also preceded in death by her great grandson, Craig and great grandson, Dallas.

Ian Gene Wicker passed away peacefully in his sleep on October 17th 2014 at the young age of 67 years old after a brief and sudden battle with lung cancer, and after living and coping with COPD the last 8 years. He is lovingly remembered and dearly missed by his wife of 44 years, Diane (nee Steward), his son Sean (Danielle), daughter Eryn (Jesse), his grandchildren Cole, Tessa, Madden, Lexi, and Grayson, his brother Barry (Merna), cousin Alex (Helen) Murray and their family, and friends too numerous to count. He is predeceased by his dear parents, Jean Wicker (McIntyre) in 1988 and John Wicker in 1999. Ian was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan on November 29th, 1946. He enjoyed his childhood there, living on a farm with two working parents, and was a resilient child, surviving both polio and cancer with no lasting effects. He moved to Chilliwack with his family in 1961, and started attending Sardis Senior and Chilliwack Senior where he was known as an athlete and all round good guy. Football, track and field, and square dancing were past times for Ian, and so was his high school sweetheart Diane. They started dating not long after meeting, became engaged at her Grade 13 graduation, and later married after Diane completed nurses training. Although quite opposite in many ways personality and interest wise, their loyalty and bond was something to be greatly admired. They began their married life in Prince George, where Ian was already living and working. After completing schooling in forestry they returned to Chilliwack to

be close to both sets of parents in time for their son Sean to be born in 1975 and then daughter Eryn came along in 1978. Although Ian earned a diploma in forestry, he went on to become a journeymen carpenter, and worked all throughout the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, mostly building schools and hospitals. Ian and Diane enjoyed trailering, square dancing, and church socials until their children’s activities surpassed their own. He also enjoyed years of playing his own sports, especially church league baseball. He was an incredibly community-minded individual, volunteering countless hours in the executive of minor baseball and minor hockey, coaching various teams for both sports, as well as volunteering with the local Beavers and Cubs organization as a leader. Once his coaching days were over golf moved from an occasional hobby to an everyday sport, as did curling, and Ian thoroughly enjoyed his friendships at his local course and club, including volunteering with the social committees, bonspiels, and the like. This coincided with a slightly early retirement once he was diagnosed with COPD in 2006. Ian remained a very hands-on dad, often helping Sean and Eryn with home-improvement projects. He was their go-to guy, always willing to help them out in any way he could as their lives got busier with work and families. He was also an amazing grandpa, and could often be found in the hockey rink watching his grandson Cole play or playing mini hockey with Madden in the living room when he was little. Although his illness eventually prevented him from

being as active as he would’ve liked with his family, and in particular the younger grandkids, they certainly always felt loved by him. Ian was a very generous, kindhearted, no-nonsense, easy going, and knowledgeable individual. His family, his children’s friends, and his own friends felt incredibly lucky to be loved and cared for by him. He was a dad, coach, and friend to many. Ian’s family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Enns, Chilliwack Home Health nurses, Home Support workers, and Community Respiratory Therapists, as well as Cascade Hospice for the compassionate support and care for Ian and his family during his final week. In lieu of flowers, Ian asked that donations be made to the Canadian Lung Association or the Junior Curler’s Club at the Chilliwack Curling Club. At Ian’s request an informal reception will be held on Sunday, November 2nd from 1-4pm at the Chilliwack Curling Club. Ashes to be spread following the reception.
