Metro incinerator estimates too rosy: report Jeff Nagel Black Press Metro Vancouver’s business case to build a second garbage incinerator grossly overestimates electricity revenue and underestimates the project’s costs, according to a report paid for by one of the plan’s biggest critics. It estimates the net costs could be $800 million to $1.3 billion higher than Metro has estimated over the 35-year life of the new waste-to-energy plant. The analysis was conducted by consulting firm ICF International and commissioned by waste disposal firm Belkorp Environmental Services, which stands to lose business if a new incinerator is built. Belkorp operates the Cache Creek landfill – which Metro aims to stop using – and has proposed to build a material recovery facility in Coquitlam that it says could sort more recyclables from what is otherwise garbage. Metro has assumed BC Hydro will pay $100 per megawatt-hour for the power that would be generated over the full life of the project, but the ICF report warns BC Hydro might renegotiate a much lower rate in 15 years, after Metro pays off its capital investment. If the power price drops at that point to $43 per megawatt-hour – which Metro now receives at its existing Burnaby incinerator – electricity revenues would shrink by $362 million, the report said. “One of the really heroic assumptions is the price of electricity that they are going to receive from BC Hydro,” ICF report lead author Seth Hulkower told Coquitlam council Monday. ICF’s estimate of the lifetime project costs are also 18 per cent higher Continued: STUDY/ p10

Kim Harder speaks during the first all-candidates meeting for city councillor at the Best Western on Tuesday. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Council candidates get down to business Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack is already known for its business friendly reputation. The Progress asked candidates this week how council could be a catalyst for economic development in Chilliwack, attracting even more jobs and investment. Many recognized the role CEPCO already plays as the economic development arm of the city. Candidate Chris Kloot gave credit to past and current councils for keeping taxes low. “Along with CEPCO’s hard work, we need to continue building on this. “We see a lot of benefit already with the new site for UFV and new industrial properties being developed such as Progress Way and the old Cattermole site, and in the past decade thousands of jobs have been

created here with several large companies choosing Chilliwack as the place to be, versus other areas in the Lower Mainland,” Kloot said. Candidate Kim Harder also had praise for what CEPCO has achieved: “Given the impressive number of small and medium sized independently-owned businesses that exist here it would appear that CEPCO is indeed doing its job.” “Youth involvement, public art, green initiatives, heritage preservation, and improved access to nature such as the Mt. Cheam trailhead,” are improvements that would make it even more desirable, Harder said. Incumbent Sue Attrill sees room for improvement, despite being known here for less red tape and bureaucracy. “Employers struggle with getting great long term employees. It is very important that we have a won-

derful community and quality of life in Chilliwack so that employers have no trouble attracting and keeping staff. Our business tax rate is crucial to attracting economic development and ours is one of the lowest around.” Candidate Phill Bruce said “enticing high tech industry” and more manufacturing industry to Chilliwack is the goal. “Supporting families through strong economic growth by creating well-paying jobs in this community will promote a positive business environment, because that’s the key to helping families prosper,” Bruce said. Candidate Brigida Crosbie said she would: “target the areas needed for development and growth, eventually shifting an area like our downtown core into revitalized segments of the city.”

Tax increment financing, is her idea as a subsidy for redevelopment, infrastructure and other community improvement projects. Candidate Brenda Currie said it’s important show the community what CEPCO does for the community and its goals. “We need to let everyone know we are leaders in economic development and the benefits are job creation. And that is huge!” Candidate Gerry Goosen kept it simple: “We have to keep taxes and fees low; streamline business and building applications or rezoning applications to a level faster than any other municipality in the Fraser Valley, and give start-up incentives ensuring there are valuable and long term benefits for Chilliwack.” Candidate Dick Harrington had harsh criticism for the money spent Continued: BUSINESS/ p10

Trustee candidates take on class size, composition Class size and composition became a central theme in the recent contract negotiations between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the association representing the province’s school boards. In the first of a series of questions, The Progress asked trustee candidates if there was some way the local school district could address this issue. Their full responses can be found in the Q&A section of our website, under the Election 2014 tab at www.theprogress.com. But here is a synopsis of what some of the candidates had to say: The candidates were asked, “What can the school district do locally to address issues of class size and composition?” Funding is the biggest challenge, said several of the candi-

dates. While the school district has some latitude, there is only so much it can do with the dollars it receives. “Without an increase in per pupil funding, the Learning Improvement Fund or some other instrument the school district has little freedom to significantly lower class sizes and improve composition,” said Dan Coulter. John-Henry Harter echoed that concern. But said additional dollars could be found by reducing administration costs and investing those funds in the classroom. Harter also said the board has to do a better job advocating for more funding. “Working together on solutions would allow teachers and staff, and in turn parents and students, to be supported locally and not feel abandoned,” he said. Martha Wiens said the funding

issue would have to be sorted out between the BCTF and the provincial government. “This is not a local issue,” she said, but added the board, staff and administration must work together. Consultation was key, many of the candidates argued. Paul McManus said by working with teachers and creating a special “task force,” administrators could better determine where the limited resources should be applied. Walt Krahn agreed. He called for detailed “School Staffing Plans” that could assess and allocate staff resources where they were needed. “This process would result in full staff engagement and equity in our school district,” he said. Silvia Dyck said the school district already does a good job limiting class sizes for elementary

students, and keeping class composition manageable through the use of the Learning Improvement Fund. However, she said the district can do a better job providing professional development so teachers are better equipped to assist students who face learning challenges in their classroom. Karen Jarvis said the issue of class size and composition could be addressed if the district followed recommendations that came out of its Special Education Review that h was released in 2013 and earlier policies from 1999. “While the review/ policy address special needs students, this could aid in alleviating some pressure in the classroom,” she said.

Haunting to help Chilliwack SPCA Jenna Hauck The Progress Get ready for blood, zombies, and creepy dolls. Jeannie Savard is inviting people to her house in Promontory for her sixth annual Halloween haunted house. Savard celebrates Halloween like others might celebrate Christmas — she goes all out with her decorations. Her basement is full of gory props like severed heads, crawling insects, and bloody flesh wounds. “It’s like we are in your worst nightmares and we’re bringing them alive,” she says. Visitors will enter Jeannie’s Haunted House through the front door and into the vampire mansion, past the blood bank and to the ‘lost souls’ ghost scene. There will be a skeleton bar, a bubbling pool of death, werewolves, and jumping spiders. Her haunted house takes up the entire main floor of her home, as well as her back porch, front yard, and along the side of her house. It takes Savard about six to eight weeks to put everything together. This year, her daughter Madison and her daughter’s best friend, Victoria Sloan, put together their own display. Their misfit toy shop will be full of creepy dolls and teddy bears with misplaced limbs. “Last year you could not get up and down the street,” says Savard. “There’s always a lineup to get in.” This year she predicts it will be even busier since Halloween falls on a Friday, and kids don’t have to go to bed early for school the next day. And when Savard and her

Rob Stelmaschuk, meanwhile, said a solution might be found in a greater use of technology. “Install computers in the class room that have teaching programs related the subjects being taught,” he suggested. “This would assist students needing more one-onone time and help the teachers and all the class run effectively.” cl And while Ben Besler said there B were limits to what w the school district th could do, he said co it was important school’s h l promote a spirit of inclusion and, “create a classroom composition that is tailored to bring out the best in every student.” Read the candidates’ full responses at www.theprogress.com, under the Election 2014 tab.

dozen volunteers scare the snot out of people, it’s for a good cause. Each year she raises money for the Chilliwack SPCA. People can donate cash or pet food. “We’re not evil people, we just want to entertain people. It’s all theatrical,” she adds. Savard has so many Halloween props that she can’t even use them all. She’d love to move her haunted house to a bigger space.

“We’d like to find a barn or a shed that’s not being used. We have the props, we just need the space.” Some of this year’s unused props will be on loan for Rock the $#@! out of Halloween, a fundraiser to raise money for cancer research at the Best Western on Nov. 1. Jeannie’s Haunted House is located at 5379 Westwood Dr.

Anyone who has an old barn or shed she can move her attraction to in the future can contact her at 778-808-0478.

Fraser Health is conducting fewer mobile flu vaccination clinics in the community than it did a few years ago. Spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the gradual decrease over the past three years has been in response to less demand for the Fraser-run clinics at places like libraries and community centres. Virtually all pharmacies and many doctor’s offices now offer flu shots, she said, and there’s been a steady increase each year in people, particularly seniors, getting their vaccinations at those locations, often when they pick up prescriptions. Juma said some Fraser Healthrun mobile clinics are still offered but they are increasingly geared to people who are less likely to use the other options. Some are set up at homeless shelters to serve the homeless. For locations and information on getting a flu shot, see http://www. fraserhealth.ca/flushot. Juma said Fraser Health is trying to encourage more pregnant women to get the flu shot this year, adding concerns about the vaccine’s safety are misplaced. Getting a flu shot, especially in late pregnancy, provides protection for babies during the flu season when they are most at risk of serious disease, because they can’t get a shot until six months of age, she noted.

B.C. legislature preparing to declare Terry Fox Day Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The B.C. government is preparing to declare the second Sunday of September Terry Fox Day, recognizing the annual Marathon of Hope events around the world that raise money for cancer research. Port Moody-Coquitlam MLA Linda Reimer presented a private memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill Thursday to recognize the day the annual runs have been held since 1980, when Fox embarked on a cross-country run that was cut short by a relapse of cancer.

As a student at Simon Fraser University, Reimer recalled seeing Fox run around the campus quadrangle and wondering what he was training for. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It honours a great man whose combination of strength, passion, idealism and sheer guts led to the impossible notion that he would run across Canada on one good leg and a prosthesis, the equivalent of a marathon a day,â&#x20AC;? Reimer told the legislature. Premier Christy Clark said Reimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bill is expected to pass with unanimous support next week. She met with Terryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father Rolly, sister Judith and

Lessons learned

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

There are three lessons to take away from last Wednesday’s shootings on Parliament Hill in Ottawa. The first one — one that played out in front of radio listeners and TV viewers throughout the day — is not to over-react. After Michael Zehaf-Bibeau shot Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and made a beeline for the Centre Block of the Parliament Buildings, those tasked with security there did their duty. They tried to stop him at the main entrance. They followed the man as he headed down the Hall of Honour, and continued to exchange gunfire with him. Finally, Sergeant at Arms Kevin Vickers was able to fire at him and bring him down. The media coverage of the events of the day was ongoing, but it was not filled with over-reactions. Instead, it was done in a moderate tone, with facts relayed as they became available. An investigation is underway, and it includes a detailed look at a video the shooter left behind. It is clear that the man felt disconnected from society and that he was at least influenced by messages from ISIS on social media. He also had been a crack cocaine addict. Beyond that, it is unclear what influenced him to take the actions he did. The federal government needs to take the same approach — move slowly and not over-react. There is no need for drastic changes to laws which will impact on freedoms of ordinary people. There may well be a need for increased surveillance and perhaps a blocking of social media messages from known ISIS activists. The second lesson is that there is clearly a need for better security at the Parliament Buildings. Part of this may be due to a variety of forces being responsible for various aspects of security, but access to Parliament through the front door is too easy. If this had been a co-ordinated attack, there could have been enormous repercussions. The third lesson is the need for all political parties to co-operate more often, as shown in Thursday’s extraordinary actions in the House of Commons. Parties can and should disagree — but they can also agree on many measures to make Canada safer and fight this new type of terrorism. Canadians would greatly appreciate a parliament that works for them, not just for partisan advantage. ~ Black Press

B.C. V IEWS

Difficult birth for the province’s LNG cash cow VICTORIA – Debate is underway on the B.C. Liberal government’s tax and environmental plan for liquefied natural gas exports, amid the usual political theatre. Most media reported that the government “slashed” its proposed seven-per-cent LNG processing income tax by half, caving in to demands of international energy giants led by Petronas of Malaysia. The 3.5 per cent tax wouldn’t even take full effect until the massive capital investment is written down, and would rise to five per cent after 20 years of production. All of this casts further doubt on Premier Christy Clark’s extravagant election campaign promise to use LNG revenues to wipe out B.C.’s debt, currently approaching $70 billion, and provide an Alberta-style “prosperity fund” to perform further miracles.

The seven per cent figure was the top end of the range presented this spring while negotiations with LNG investors were ongoing, so it’s not really accurate to say it was “slashed.” This cash calf hasn’t been born yet, and it remains to be seen if it will survive. F i n a n c e Tom Minister Mike de FLETCHER Jong pointed out some of the shifts in the global gas market that have reduced expectations. Japan, one of the potential investors, is considering restarting its nuclear plants as it recovers from the 2011 Fukushima earthquake.

pipeline gas. Oil prices have dropped. The government’s change of tone started with the recent throne speech, which emphasized the fate of B.C.’s only current export market. “Like forestry, B.C.’s natural gas industry has relied on exports to the United States,” the speech obser ved. “But the American shale gas revolution has meant the export south has dried up – and is never coming back.” So before B.C. gets to that prosperity fund, it’s got to stop the bleeding. You may recall it was a U.S. hurricane-induced spike in gas revenues that allowed the province to spread an extra billion to calm its labour waters for the 2010 Olympics. The finance ministry estimates that after the startup period, a medium-sized LNG export operation would pay total taxes of

around $800 million a year to the province. De Jong notes that this is more revenue than B.C. will collect from the entire forest industry this year, from a single plant. There are 18 currently proposed. This new LNG income tax is nowhere near the biggest source. It’s bigger than the carbon tax that LNG producers will pay on fuel use, but only a fourth of what B.C. collects in royalties for selling the gas. The biggest source of revenue from this hoped-for plant is “other taxes,” which include sales tax and corporate income tax, which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year. University of Calgary economist Jack Mintz, who supported B.C. on its ill-fated harmonized sales tax, says this additional LNG tax is wrong-headed at any rate.

“If other provinces take the same view with respect to resource taxation, new levies would be applied to oil refining, forest product manufacturing, mining processing and a host of other activities linked to resource industries,” Mintz wrote last week in the <I>Financial Post.</I> If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. And companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut. The big question isn’t whether B.C. will get its fair share. It’s whether there will be anything to share. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

ALR rezoning questioned get what they wanted and rezoning was unanimously passed by council with the exception of councillor Jason Lum (good for you). The end result is council gets more tax revenue. The developers fill their pockets and we residents are left with the sam problems as before, only to be made worse as to traffic congestion, parking and drainage problems.

opportunity, we are challenged to ensure everything is in place. Preparing for an election is a huge undertaking to ensure all the legal requirements are met, including advertising. A mail ballot opportunity might address some of your points; however, even with mail ballots, we still face time constraints with respect to having the ballots available”. The CEO did concede that a mail-in ballot could be in place for the next municipal election. The City of Richmond in their Civic Election Administration and Procedure Bylaw No. 7244 of 2001 have five advance voting dates, 1,5,6,7,and 8 November and a mail-in ballot opportunity. The City of Prince George also has a Bylaw No. 6067, 1993, any electors who will be absent or have a physical disability, illness or injury that prevents them from voting at a voting location on the advance and general voting days may vote by mail ballot. If you would like to receive a mail ballot package, please complete and submit the form titled “Form to Request a Mail Ballot Package” included with the City of Prince George Mail Ballot Voting Information sheet and submit it to Deanna Wasnik,

Deputy Chief Election Officer, by October 31, 2014. All these enhancements are done through City Bylaws. Many municipalities surrounding us have enhancements to the Local Government Act that would permit us to vote in this election. Contrary to the assertion of the Chief Electoral Officer, Bylaws to amend the local Government Act can be made by cities as they see fit in accordance with Local Government Act Chapter 323, Division 9, articles 94 to 100. It behooves me to understand when much of the electorates in this city come from and work away from Chilliwack. The city should enhance the voting opportunities as much as possible, being a lot of work is not an acceptable response. If I were living in another municipality I would have an opportunity to vote along with three others who will unfortunately not be able to exercise an important franchise as I believe that voting for your city government has more impact on our day to day lives through city services than any other vote you cast.

A call for more voting opportunities I did not want to become one of the 80 per cent of eligible voters that do not vote. Advance poll dates as currently set for the Nov 15th election will not permit me, along with 3 other eligible voter to exercise our franchise. After several email exchanges with the Chilliwack Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) a few days ago, it appears that this city does not encourage people to vote and does the bare minimum to allow participation. There are two legislated advance voting polls AVO’s and no opportunity to request a mail-in ballot opportunity. Many municipalities are using the minimum two days on 5th November and 12th November as Chilliwack is. However, some municipalities allow more options as part of their bylaws, to which the Chief Electoral Officer responded “As I stated earlier, the Local Government Act sets the dates that the first AVO must be held. It is not regulated by local bylaws. Having said that, the City can offer more AVOs between the 10th day before the general local election and the day of the general local election.” The CEO further wrote “Even as it stands now with November 5th as the 1st advance voting

The 10 acres in question was sold to my uncle during the war years, (1939-45) who built a house and barn and successfully operated a small diary farm for about 10 years. It was then resold and change ownership several times since then.

Council candidates talk business BUSINESS from Front to run CEPCO, which he said has assets of $14 million. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This has been an unnecessary expenditure based on the assumption that CEPCO has been a worthwhile expense. I very much doubt this.â&#x20AC;? Harrington believes CEPCO could be replaced with â&#x20AC;&#x153;a volunteer entityâ&#x20AC;? bringing â&#x20AC;&#x153;millionsâ&#x20AC;? in new investment â&#x20AC;&#x153;at no cost to the taxpayer.â&#x20AC;? Candidate Michael Kha wants to see more careful and strategic marketing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then investors will be more inclined to invest in our city,â&#x20AC;? Kha said. Council should â&#x20AC;&#x153;work closely with the BIA and develop major events to showcase what Chilliwack has to offer. These events needs to be spectacular enough to entice people from other cities to come and visit us, and interesting enough to give Chilliwack some media attention. For an example every year in Vancouver there is an event called Diner en Blanc,â&#x20AC;? he could see a similar event with local farmers. Incumbent Jason Lum points to â&#x20AC;&#x153;a competitive tax environmentâ&#x20AC;? as key to job creation and business retention. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can facilitate future growth by ensuring well-maintained services and infrastructure,â&#x20AC;? Lum said, adding heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s supported key infrastructure upgrades to roads, water, sewer, diking and drainage. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Finally, we need to continue to cultivate a culture of accessibility and expedient customer service at City Hall.â&#x20AC;? Incumbent Chuck Stam said nurturing â&#x20AC;&#x153;a stable business environmentâ&#x20AC;? is what sets them apart, in addition to CEPCOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work.

ff!

â&#x20AC;&#x153;This environment includes good value for low taxes, available and affordable industrial/commercial lands, reliable and cost effective utilities, good transit and free flowing transportation, affordable homes for employees and great recreational facilities and opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;While external to our core municipal mandate, part of City hallâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s role in maintaining an attractive environment is working closely with our provincial counterparts in ensuring first rate local healthcare, education opportunities at all levels and regional interconnectivity/ access to markets,â&#x20AC;? Stam added. Candidate Patti MacAhonic remembered when Chilliwack was named â&#x20AC;&#x153;most business friendly communityâ&#x20AC;? in 2012. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that council needs to be working collaboratively with local, provincial and national stakeholders, staying on top of emerging opportunities,â&#x20AC;? for sustainable growth and stability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I also strongly believe that we need to put more support into representing the businesses that we currently have,â&#x20AC;? said MacAhonic. Candidate Phillip Maxwell ticked off three initiatives that the city council could take: First is increased city presence in the local media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Showcase in these advertisements why people would want to live, invest and visit Chilliwack, which all in turn would stimulate economic development,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Secondly, challenge CEPCO to look at their mandate and focus on certain main areas,â&#x20AC;? like a better website, and a way to advertise city job opportunities. Incumbent Stewart McLean sees the value in â&#x20AC;&#x153;maintaining low taxes and a debt free sta-

tusâ&#x20AC;? for Chilliwack, and working with groups like the Chamber of Commerce. Incumbent Ken Popove focused specifically on what could be done downtown: â&#x20AC;&#x153;As city council we will collaborate not only with Walas Concepts but with the people of Chilliwack, the residents, the business owners, and the real estate agents to create a downtown that is multi-use, that is made by the people, for the people.â&#x20AC;? Candidate Sam Waddington wants to see Chilliwack have a Long-term Strategic Economic Plan, saying the OCP in not enough. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A forward looking economic plan would help to lay the vision for the City that we hope to have in the future, and allow us to then put in place the groundwork to build that vision,â&#x20AC;? he said. A plan like that â&#x20AC;&#x153;will be able to give security to prospective business interests in Chilliwack by showing them how their business idea fits into our master plan.â&#x20AC;? For candidate Richard Williams itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all about investing in technology infrastructure and tools for building with new/emerging technologies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We should be investing in network infrastructure, both wired and wireless (cellular) as well as a city based data centre. We are also close enough to Vancouver and the U.S. that we should easily be able to get people and investments coming here quickly once these types of upgrades/systems are in place.â&#x20AC;?

One project proponent – Lehigh Cement – proposes to retrofit its Delta cement plant to use garbage as fuel, replacing coal and tires it now burns. “It doesn’t need to sell electricity at all,” Metro board chair Greg Moore said. The cement plant option may also have considerably lower capital costs than the estimate of around $500 million for an all-new plant. Other scenarios could see a new waste-to-energy plant located near a densifying urban area where steam could heat surrounding buildings in a district energy system, instead of being converted to electricity for sale. “It’s not shocking that this report comes from the largest private landfill operator that wants to continue operating their business as a landfill,” Moore said. Metro’s current plan calls for construction of a new waste-to-energy plant to take up to 370,000 tonnes per year of garbage, an amount it estimates will still require disposal if the region’s recycling rate climbs from 60 per cent to 70 per cent. But the regional district is expected to reevaluate its plans in light of the province’s rejection of Bylaw 280, which tried to ban the hauling of garbage out of Metro. Belkorp vice-president Russ Black said he hopes more mayors and councils around the region push the Metro board to place a moratorium on the incinerator plan in light of the ICF findings. Councils in Maple Ridge, Pitt Meadows, Coquitlam and Port Moody have previously supported a moratorium. Black said it’s “completely false” to suggest Belkorp’s aim is to keep taking Metro garbage to its Cache Creek landfill by defeating the incinerator, pointing instead to its NextUse subsidiary’s plan to sort recyclables from garbage.

Barney Bentall, Jim Byrnes and John Mann (left to right), will be presenting an intimate night of music at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Nov. 2.

Trio of fine Canadian musicians on a Sunday Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A wide-ranging “emotional palette” is in store when Barney Bentall, Jim Byrnes and John Mann take the stage together on Nov. 2 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. The three pillars of Canadian rock histor y have made 25 albums, have several Junos, and countless road miles between them. They’ll play a mini-set of tunes each in Chilliwack and will masterfully back each other up. “It’s going to be a really great show,” Barney Bentall promises in a phone interview with The Progress. He was just about to head out from Kamloops to winterize his ranch in the Interior. They’ll be rolling out a range of genres that night from folk rock to roots, blues to pop. “We’re bringing a killer band.

They’re stellar musicians.” They’ve done the show with the trio twice so far. Once in Vernon and then again in West Van. “The last time it was just packed, and that touched me in a deep way. “I play all the time and try to be connected to the music I play, but this was special.” Mann’s recent diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s is part of the extreme poignancy they’ll bring to bear on the evening. “It’s an emotional affair partly because of John going public with his battle,” Bentall said. “Feels pretty raw.” He’s inspired by the courage Mann brings to it, and to Byrnes for his sheer grit as well. Jim Byrnes comes from the heart of the blues in St. Louis, Missouri, a hometown that takes centre stage as the album title of his most recent release: St. Louis

Blues, with Steve Dawson. Two brushes with death, one resulting in the loss of his legs, haven’t slowed him down one bit, the rocker has been going strong since he picked up the blues guitar at age 13 and has no plans to stop. He brings a sweet smokiness to the trio with his lifelong love of blues – and it’s that quiet, deep joy that hypnotizes his audiences. John Mann completes the trio with a classic rock pedigree from in a little band called Spirit of the West — not to mention an alt-folk sound as a solo artist nicknamed Mister Mann. Known for intimate, and entertaining performances, an evening with Bentall, Byrnes and Mann will be filled with their road stories and songs. They are the musicians behind some of Canada’s most well-known hits from the 80s, 90s, and 2000s, so the audience is in for a night of

nostalgia and West Coast spirit. It was his agent Deb Peter’s idea that the three of them do a show together. “It was a great vision. You should really come check it out. It really knocked me out and I’m up on stage.” It’s important to Bentall to keep it fresh. He’s released three solo records on the quintessential Canadian label founded by Bernie Finkelstein called True North Records. “Putting out records these days is a funny thing,” he offers. “A person could be forgiven for asking someone why they would do this. But it’s what I do and it’s important. I could not be an act that had hits way back when. I have to continually be creating and putting out new material.” His band the Legendar y Hearts still play from time to time, he writes in his bio. One of

Playful Leave it to Cleavage Life is all about improvising. It’s also something Leave it to Cleavage takes to heart. The hilarious improv theatre show hits the HUB International Theatre stage on Nov. 6. Buckle up, because they’re more than ready to run the audience through the wringer of “common sense”— which, as their 1950s housewife alter egos will tell you, involves perky attitudes, prim satin dresses, and just a touch of self-medication. “It’s like we’re hosting a giant cocktail party, but it’s actually an intervention for the audience because we

It’s very playful, it’s very interactive, and we’re making a good deal of it up on the spot!” This all-star cast (Diana Frances, Ellie Harvie, Denise Jones, and Christine Lippa) has been nominated for a Canadian Comedy Award for Best Improv Group, and it’s obvious why – the four performers come from a background in Second City Continued: CLEAVAGE/ p13

Martinis, hairspray, and home cooking: these manic housewives are magnificently funny. A re you ready for a night of perky attitudes, prim satin dresses, repressed ‘50s housewives and hilarious improv theatre?

Buckle up, because the four seriously funny women of Leave it to Cleavage are returning to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on November 6! Diana Frances, Ellie Harvie, Denise Jones, and Christine Lippa are the four comedic powers behind improv troupe Leave it to Cleavage. Together, they look at the lives of housewives of yesteryear—including too much hairspray and a veritable cornucopia of tips on how to keep your husband happy.

Saturday, November 1

“It’s like we’re hosting a giant cocktail party, but it’s actually an intervention for the audience because we feel they’ve lost their morals,” Leave it to Cleavage member and co-founder Diana Frances says with a laugh.

10:00am to 4:00pm Check out our Christmas Market featuring 60+ vendors! A one stop Christmas shopping extravaganza to start the Christmas season off right! 60+ raffle prizes to give away!!

And of course it wouldn’t be improv theatre without a little audience participation. Get ready to shout out suggestions to the all-star cast—and watch them bring those elements to life.

“We have a really good time with the audience,” Frances says. “We treat them really well. We do all the heavy lifting; they don’t have to be funny, because we’re always going to make them look good. But we’re very good at recognizing who is willing to play and who’s more comfortable sitting in their seat.”

Diana Frances and Ellie Harvie play two manic housewives, bent on making their husbands happy and teaching the audience to do the same. The show tackles many important questions facing the modern housewife: How do you make your marriage last? Cook a roast? Keep the neighbour’s dog out of your garden? Build a swimming pool with your bare hands? Filled to the brim with Spam, hairspray, and home cooking, these manic housewives have an answer for everything! The second half of the show sees a few lucky audience volunteers pop onstage for a hilarious battle of the sexes to determine who really wears the pants in a family. “The fun thing about improv is that we’re making it up on the spot based on the audience’s suggestions,” Frances says. “It really makes you feel like you’re helping to create the show right along with us.” Catch their riotously funny show at the HUB International Theatre on November 6 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets range between $27 and $32, and the show promises to be a hilarious ride through ‘50s sensibilities and the age-old tussle for power between genders.

Halloween

RCMP offer tips on playing it safe this Halloween With Halloween just around the corner, Chilliwack RCMP are reminding parents and their children on ways they can play it safe while trick or treating. Halloween is a fun and exciting tradition that many in Chilliwack enjoy, says Const. Ashley St. Germaine. However, it is important to enjoy it safely. Here are a few simple safety tips to keep Halloween a safe and fun night for everyone: • Keep the path leading up to your door free of obstacles for the little ones, especially those with masks and limited visions • Wear a light coloured or bright costume, reflective tape or arm bands to heighten visibility • Make sure your vision is not restricted • Accessorize with a flashlight • “Fake”: swords, knives and guns part of

your costume? Make sure they look fake but remember, some people may still not be able to tell the difference. • Be aware of the route that your children plan to follow • If you are unable to take them out yourself, consider asking another parent, an older sibling or babysitter to do the honours for you • Establish an agreed upon curfew • Stay on the sidewalks (If there is no sidewalk, walk on the left-hand side of the street facing traffic) • Don’t jaywalk • Stop and check for cars before crossing the street • Discuss with your children what they should do to call home in case of emergency • Stay on the outside: Never enter a house;

only accept treats at the front door • Save your treats: Wait until you get home before sampling your treats. Though tampering is rare, a responsible adult should check out all treats and throw away any spoiled, unwrapped or suspicious items • Expect the unexpected: Slow down, look for pedestrians. The chances of getting

into a serious or fatal collision are multiplied when there are lots of kids and teens out on the streets. Be aware that in Chilliwack, the use of fireworks is strictly prohibited by law. Fireworks aren’t kids play. Each and every Halloween, an influx of children and adults end up at hospital emergency rooms for firework-associated injuries. There will be extra RCMP officers patrolling on Halloween night to help keep the festivities safe for everyone. “We want everyone to have fun and enjoy this night, especially the kids,” said Const. Ashley St. Germaine. “Remember to stay safe, be aware of your surroundings and enjoy this night.” The RCMP would also like to remind motorists to slow down and use extra caution while driving on Halloween night.

Is It normal to experience urinary incontinence after childbirth or with aging? Many women believe that leaking is part of normal life and that wearing pads or having surgery are the only options. As an experienced pelvic floor physiotherapist, I can assure you that it is not normal and that there is another answer. 80% of women who work with a qualified pelvic floor therapist experience improvements in their symptoms.

CLEAVAGE from page 12 Theatricals, This Hour Has 22 Minutes, The Improv Olympics, and Vancouver TheatreSports. The four of them are dynamite. Harvie and Frances adopt the characters of repressed 50s housewives, Lippa plays the role of sassy German neighbour, and Jones acts as a perfect foil to their perky attitudes as their deadpan Russian maid. It’s a winning combination and a recipe for success! And of course the audience plays an important role as well; as with any improv show, the cast relies on suggestions and interjections from the audience

to keep the ball rolling. For the second half of the show, half a dozen audience member volunteers will join the cast onstage for a battle of the sexes to answer the age-old question: who wears the pants in the family? The ensuing questions and answers promise to flip between delightful, clever, naughty, and back to hilarious in the span of just a few short minutes. It’s a riotous ride that you won’t want to miss – so don’t forget to put your name in the volunteer draw bucket during intermission if you want to represent your gender in the battle for household dominance! Pumped up on martinis,

hairspray, and home cooking, these manic housewives have an answer for everything— and you’d better hope that you do too! After all, as Leave it to Cleavage proudly advertises, one lucky contestant could “win a chance to win a chance to win TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS!” Leave it to Cleavage will be at the HUB International Theatre at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Thursday, November 6 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $27 for students, $29 for seniors, and $32 for adults.

“We’ve been loading tankers safely here for sixty years.” - Bikram Kanjilal, Master Mariner, Consultant Marine Development

Trans Mountain has been operating at Westridge Terminal for six decades without a single spill from tanker operations, due in part to the stringent precautions we put in place. Close collaboration between Pilotage Authorities, Transport Canada, the Canadian Coast Guard and Port Metro Vancouver ensures vessels navigate our waters safely, guided by highly qualiﬁed local pilots.

U U U U U U U U U

Tankers are held to strict, internationally accepted construction and operating standards. Any vessel proposing to visit Westridge must go through pre-screening and physical inspection. Only double hulled tankers of modern design are accepted. The Canadian Coast Guard monitors every vessel’s passage. All employees are trained in operations, safety and emergency response procedures. All vessels have a boom enclosure throughout loading operations. Two local pilots are on board loaded tankers during every movement. Tug escorts are required to accompany all laden tankers. Dedicated local marine-based spill response organization, WCMRC, ensures quick action in the event of a spill. U Marine spill response will be enhanced.

Perspectives

Honing your mental health skills Continuing with our series on mental health skills from the therapy known as DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) I’ve chosen a skill set known as Opposite Action in which you train yourself to behave opposite to your instinctive, first feelings. You know the expresRob sion, LEES “Feel the fear and do it anyway”. It is well established psychological knowledge that simple changes in body posture can result in improved feelings. Forcing a smile on occasion can bring a happier mood, just like pushing your shoulders back can create more confidence and energy. Because DBT was first used with people whose lives were ruled by their emotional state, opposite action is a strategy to gain back personal control over your emotions; in essence, it allows people to act from their frontal cortex which controls logic, rather than from other regions of the brain that control emotion. When we suffer from poor mental health, it can feel like our emotions are ruling our lives. As liberty-loving people, of course we would want to take back control and have our emotions serve us, rather than the other way around. The trouble is, all too often our emotions do tend to reign supreme. Recently, while driving home, a car darted out in front when I had the right of way. Instantly I felt an adrenalin rush followed quickly by anger. I won’t say what I was thinking lest homicidal thoughts become a crime one day. It took a few minutes

kind, but it turns out that my emotions want me to be just as wild and uncontrolled as any other road rageaholic. Using opposite action, I reminded myself to breathe deeper, be grateful for being safe and let it go. And you can do the same. When you feel yourself getting angry, lower your voice intentionally. If you’re feeling low,

for me to settle down and realize that, in fact, there was no harm done. Likely the other driver didn’t mean to do it and I’m sure I’ve done the same thing plenty of times. As I contemplated the thought that I’m supposedly a mature man, I thought of how powerful emotions can be in distorting the way we live our lives. I prefer to see myself as peaceable and

act opposite to what the low mood is telling you. The temptation is to withdraw, stay down and punish yourself for your mistakes by asking yourself “How could I be so stupid?” Instead, using opposite action you might say, “I can learn from this mistake, even if I’ve made the same one before. I will do better next time.” Continued: ACTION/ p20

The hard one is to push yourself to get out of bed and be involved in life when your mood tells you to pull the covers over your head and stay put. A person once wrote me about how they handle it: “It simply is going through the motion of living when on the inside one feels dead (and if they’re like me, the mornings are always the worst). So when I say I went out for a walk, or managed to get up and follow a normal routine, it’s not saying it felt good. In fact, I usually feel awful at first. Emotion, for me, is often absent when I’m most unwell. As I carry on, though, and seek treatment for my illness, I know that eventually those simple tasks will begin to feel more normal, in that my feeling returns. Somewhere in the process of carrying on with living, one begins to live again.” This is opposite action in action.

When a world comes crashing down

They call it ‘The Beautiful Game.’ But it also has a dark side: Concussion. Today, the Chilliwack Progress begins a two-part series on how a head injury affected one rising soccer star. By Eric Welsh The Progress Somewhere in Presley Roberts’ house there’s a big box filled to the brim with soccer goalie gloves, and every once in a while she pulls it out for a look. Each set reminds her of something. Tiny ones from long ago when she first got serious about netminding. Whenever the coach asked who wanted to play goal, there was little Presley, jumping around, waving her arms in the air saying, ‘Me! Me! Me!” Another pair reminds her of a diving stop she made in U-12, and she hears the echoes of teammates and coaches yelling, “Great save Presley!” In her hands now she stares at the gloves she wore so proudly in 2006 when she traveled to Tampa, FL for an Olympic Development Program camp. Yep. She was that good. No. Great. She was going to be a high school star. Then a university star, and who knows after that. Sky was the limit. “I wasn’t the one going out to buy a bunch of stiletto shoes,” Presley says. “When I got my pay cheque, I was going out to buy gloves.” She was going to be the next great goalie, until one day and one moment changed everything. ❖❖❖

It’s a friendly after-school soccer game, pitting the girls against the guys. Lots of joking. Lots of laughter. The perfect way to blow off steam after a long day at school. Presley’s in net as the ball gets booted into her end. It’s close

Presley Roberts had every reason to believe she would be the next great goalie. JENNA HAUCK/ THE PROGRESS

enough where she thinks she can rush out and get it, and because she’s one of the most aggressive goalies you’d ever meet, you know she’s going to try. She comes rushing to the top of her 18 yard box and drops to one knee as she stretches for the ball. BAM! Her own teammate’s knee slams into her nose, and everything goes black. What happens next, Presley only knows because people have told her. Only fragments come back to her. Blood on her gloves. A really itchy nose. Mostly she remembers the feeling, like being hit by a train. Presley’s been told she spent 15 minutes laying on the turf at Townsend Park, and she remembers being horribly dizzy and nauseous when she finally got to her feet. So dizzy and nauseous she had to be carried off. In her entire soccer career to that point, Presley had never exited a game before it was done and one of her fragments is the faces of people who watched her leave the

field that day, seeing their looks of fear. They didn’t know what was going on, and neither did she as she took a short two-minute drive to Chilliwack General Hospital. ❖❖❖

When Presley was young, her parents called her Crash. She was nine months old, just learning to walk when she had her first accident, tripping over a pillow and flying face-first into the fireplace step. If you study the bridge of her nose closely, you can still see the scar. She’s fallen down stairs and received more stitches than Frankenstein. So when her Mom, Shelley and step-dad, Richard, got the call that Presley was at the hospital, you couldn’t have blamed them for saying, ‘Oh yeah. Presley’s done it again!’ But what Shelley remembers from the drive from their Fairfield Island home is a sick feeling in the pit of her stomach. Mother’s intuition maybe, but she knew this wasn’t another one of Presley’s bumps n’ bruises.

They found Presley in the emergency room, wet from the rain, tired, hungry and confused. Four hours she sat there in her soggy soccer gear, clutching a little blanket and an ice pack. Sitting and waiting. Sitting and waiting. Sitting and waiting some more. All that time to see a doctor for 10 minutes. After taking x-rays, he froze her nose to numb the pain, stitched her up and sent her away. It was 2 a.m. when she finally got home, and she barely slept at all that night. Whatever was wrong, she knew it was much more than a broken nose. ❖❖❖

Presley looked in the mirror the next morning and saw a stranger peering back at her. Her nose was about twice its normal size and both her eyes were black. But whatever. She put on sunglasses to hide the damage and went to school, anticipating funny looks and nothing more. Until she got to class. It was exam-prep time and

the teacher was taking the class through review. Presley tried to pay attention, but nothing was sticking. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, like the adults in Charlie Brown cartoons. Voices were five times louder than they usually were and the light from the window was really bothering her. But she wrote it off to sleep deprivation and went home. That night, as she tried to study, she started to panic. “This was the last week before Grade 10 exams,” she recalls. “And I was getting really stressed out because I couldn’t remember anything that I’d learned. Nothing was coming back to me.” No matter how long she stared at her notes and textbooks, she couldn’t remember, and when she sat down to write the exam a week later she knew she was in for a rough time. Determined to get it done, she sat at her desk for two hours, labouring over questions that would normally be gimmees. She answered one question and skipped the next four, and about halfway through, Presley gave up and left. The A-level student scored a 53. ❖❖❖

The first person to actually say the word concussion was Presley’s family doctor, sharp-eyed Jodie Lippa. From the way the teenager walked and talked, and the symptoms she described, the diagnosis was crystal clear. And Lippa’s proposed treatment plan seemed nice. Take the summer to relax, sleep a lot and get a tan. No sports, but otherwise perfect, and through July and August Presley felt a whole lot better. But when school started again that fall, everything fell apart. The newly-minted Grade 11 student was beset by headaches and dizziness and nausea and all the bad stuff she thought had gone away. Presley went rushing back to Dr. Lippa and was referred to a concussion specialist, Dr. Heather Underwood. Continued: IMPACT/ p22

The devastating impact of concussion IMPACT from page 21 To determine the extent of the concussion, the Vancouver-based doctor ran Presley through a series of tests, all of which seemed simple enough. Underwood would give Presley a list of words to remember and repeat back. Elementary school stuff that Presley found she couldn’t do. Underwood would have Presley stand in one spot while she pushed her shoulder. “Easy!” Presley thought. “I’m a soccer player. Balance isn’t a problem for me!” Until she almost fell into the wall. Underwood got the 16 year old started on vestibular therapy, an exercise program designed to strengthen her neck and help with equilibrium issues. For example, Presley would wear a laser-pointer head-band. A piece of paper was taped to the wall with a circle on it. All she had to do was trace the circle with the lazer, five times clockwise and five times counter-clockwise. It made her want to vomit and she thought it was useless. Still she carried on with regular appointments, twice weekly at first before working down to once a week, then once a month. And it did prove beneficial, to a point. But still, there were too many days when Presley couldn’t take a short walk without feeling sick. Continued: SUPPORT/ p23

Back at school, she was struggling. Used to pulling down A’s and B’s, Presley was performing at a C level. “I’d be sitting in class, writing things down but not knowing what I was writing down,” she says. “And at the end of the day I’d be doing my homework and not even remember being there for the lesson. And the headaches, constant ringing in my head that I couldn’t shut off.” Many days saw Presley retreating to a quiet and darkened room in the nurse’s office to take a nap. Because she couldn’t play soccer and was struggling with everything else, she got down on herself. And she projected her anger and frustration on everyone else. Presley didn’t want to hang out with friends anymore. Most of the time she didn’t even want to talk to them, and if she did they’d better be saying the right things in the right way. Anything wrong with their tone of voice and she was storming out, slamming doors as she went. All she really wanted to do was get home and sleep. But home is where her parents were, and they bore the full brunt of her fury. Can you imagine fighting over icecream? It’s humorous to look back on it now, but in the moment it was a huge thing when Presley wanted... nay, needed with every fiber of her

being... ice cream. But, at the end of a long day, Shelley wasn’t going out to get it and her daughter was livid. Presley was ready to head out the door, hop in the car and get it herself (without a drivers’ licence). Shelley wasn’t letting her. There was yelling. Lots of yelling, and Presley feeling like she wanted to throw stuff. Dr. Underwood had Shelley writing journals, and she looked back at an entry from that time. “Headaches and dizziness which has caused a lot of irritability,” she wrote in scribbled notes. “Hard to help her at times as she always says I don’t understand what it’s like. I feel and care so bad for her. Trying to figure it all out with her.” Walking on eggshells. Shelley and Richard worried about everything they said and did, wondering what might set Presley off. Shelley couldn’t tell how much of this was the concussion and how much was normal teenage angst, but she desperately needed it to stop. “I wanted to let it go a lot of times because it didn’t make sense to get caught up in it and keep arguing back and forth, so I let her get away with saying what she wanted to say,” she said. “And Richard would be like, ‘Why are you letting her talk to you like that?’ But we tried to stay strong as a team, and realize that it wasn’t her. This wasn’t our Presley.” Through the darkest times, Mom clung to one thought. “She will come back to me.”

Thornton Nora, Joan Nora Joan Thornton, née Pope, passed away peacefully October 24, 2014 in her home in Sardis, BC. Born November 9, 1919 in Paris, France, the youngest of three daughters to Edward and Nora (née Gwynne) Pope. Predeceased by her husband Peter M Thornton, KM, FRIBA, FRAIC, ARCA, and her sisters Helen Sprott of Ottawa and Loïs Hadingham of Wimbledon, England. Survived by her six children: Jeremy, (Virginia), Jennifer Price (David), Katharine Marks (Eric), Edward (Barbara), Marianne, and Peter (Deirdre) and many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews. Educated in Quebec City, Halifax, NS, and London, England. She returned to Canada at the outbreak of war in 1939 and worked at the Australian Naval Liaison office in Ottawa where she married the dashing young Canadian Flag Lieutenant and architect, Peter. They moved with their firstborn to Vancouver in 1945, where the house they built expanded as the family grew. In 1974 they relocated to an 11-acre farm in Rosedale, BC, and then to Sardis in 1990. Over the years Mum always had a driving curiosity and developed many interests among which featured her garden, bird watching with the ‘Gin and Feathers’ club, tennis, bible study & meditation, painting & sketching, genealogy, and of late a passion for advanced theoretical physics. Her favourite charities were The Seminary of Christ the King and The Poor Clare Sisters (St Clare’s Monastery), both located in Mission, BC. She was very proud of being the greatgranddaughter of not one but TWO Fathers of Confederation, W H Pope and James Cockburn. Prayers will take place at 7PM Thursday, October 30 and Mass of Christian Burial at 11AM, Friday, October 31, both at St Mary’s Catholic Church, Chilliwack. Reception at the church and interment to follow. Henderson’s Funeral Home in care of arrangments 604-792-1344, www.hendersonsfunerals.com

Eva Tremblay was Born June 23 1926, in Hagen Germany. She passed away October 1st 2014. Our beautiful angel is in heaven to be with her beloved husband, Alex Tremblay. She was predeceased by her mother, Charlotte, and Father Kasper. She is survived by son, Charlie Tremblay (Marianne Esplin Gemma); daughter Gail Sward (Ken Shaw); Grandson Daniel Sward; honorary grand children Kasey, Trevor, Saidy, and Liam. Eva was from a large family of 12 children survived by brother Horst, sister Lilo, sister Inge, and little sister Irma. Eva was the second oldest. She experienced WII but lost her brother and father. Mom never spoke about how hard life was, we only had a glimpse into that part of her life, she lived for the day. She was always very positive and happy. She was an active member of the ladies auxiliary with the Vedder Legion. She played in the ladies bowling league for many years. Also part of the Senior Centre in Sardis. You always were welcome in her home. She never turned anyone away. There were so many wonderful things about this lady, I could go on forever. Heaven gained a beautiful angel. Many thanks to the amazing nursing staff on the 5th floor in CGH. Thanks for the care and dignity you gave her. Thank you to Drs. Bright and Tingey for all the love and respect you have shown her over the years. And also thank you to home support, you girls were so wonderful. You all treated her so kindly our family will never forget it. Last of all, thank you to my family and friends for getting us through this difficult time. Also, without the lovely girls at Net Care our lives would have been so much less enriched. She loved her Net Care. Thank you Fairy Godmother, you know who you are. Without you I would have fallen apart. A Memorial Service will be held at the Vedder Legion on Friday November 7th from 1:00-3:00pm. In Lieu of flowers, please make donations to the heart and stroke foundation.
