Chilliwack stays on the competitive edge: study Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Less red tape, taxes and fees in Chilliwack make it stand out on the provincial landscape for commercial development. Chilliwack was just cited for some of the lowest fees and tax rates, and a very quick turnaround process for permits, in the 2014 municipal report card issued by Commercial Real Estate Development Association (NAIOP). “It’s huge,” said Brian Coombes, president of Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation, about the stellar results from the Vancouver chapter of NAIOP. “This is something City of Chilliwack has worked extremely hard for.” It’s the second time this month Chilliwack has been recognized for affordable land and development costs, and its tax structure. It was also noted in the Colliers 2014 Lower Mainland study, Rising Cost of Industrial Occupier Facilities. “Chilliwack is the number one, lowest-cost option (and Abbotsford is a close second) in the Lower Mainland to acquire land, design and build the benchmark facility, at almost $5.2 million,” according to the Colliers study. “While Chilliwack and Abbotsford are in the Fraser Valley Regional District and officially outside the Metro Vancouver region, this shows how the two cities offer compelling value in terms of land and development costs and the municipality with the most competitive property tax structure in the Lower Mainland: Chilliwack. In the City of Vancouver it would be just over $7.6 million to build the same facility, “representing a whopping premium of 46 per cent, not to mention annual property taxes that are 70 per cent higher than those in Chilliwack.” So it’s no accident that these accolades are rolling in for Chilliwack, Coombes offered, and said kudos in the NAIOP report card came in last year as well. It’s noteworthy that the new numContinued: BUSINESS/ p6

Mayoralty candidates take on crime and safety Jennifer Feinberg The Progress When it comes to the crime rate of a community, sometimes perceptions can be a bit at odds with the evidence. Take Chilliwack’s crime rate. Would most people think the crime in Chilliwack went up or down overall, August 2013 to 2014? The overall crime rate is in fact trending downward, with property crime down three per cent over last year, according to RCMP stats.

The Chilliwack Progress asked all three mayoralty candidates what specifically they would do as mayor to make citizens feels safer in their community. (Full responses can be found under the Election 2014 tab of www. theprogress.com) Mayoralty candidate Raymond Cauchi replied that he’d begin by encouraging people to “engage” with their neighbours. “I would promote neighbour gatherings and attend. I would begin a dialogue about how knowing who your neighbours

are and getting to know them is a key part of feeling safe,” he said. His idea is “diverting funds” to increase presence and response time of first responders in “targeted” neighbourhoods. “Every neighbour-hood has unique e needs and I would nott want to direct resourc-es to where they are e not needed,” said Cauchi. uchi Incumbent Sharon Gaetz stated in her answer that citizens “deserve” to feel safe.

Through “the hard work of the Public Safety Advisory Committee,” a city committee, they’ve been able to make “great strides” in crime reduction in Chilliwack, she noted. An RCMP official briefed city council earlier this year, noting earl that auto theft was down 36 per cent. But theft from vehicles is going up. They’ve brought in boards to flash timely lleader d b crime-prevention messages to

Four topics dominate first all candidates meeting Jennifer Feinberg The Progress All four questions at the Chamber of Commerce all-candidates’ event Tuesday were essentially asking candidates what kind of Chilliwack they wanted to help build. The 16 candidates offered ideas how they would cut garbage dumping on local rivers, support urban farming, transit system growth, and boost Chilliwack’s image. On the subject of waste dumping in riparian zones, many said stiffer fines, more bins and education were the answer.

Incumbent Jason Lum said garbage is often dumped on Crown land in the Chilliwack area and the issue of jurisdiction gets in the way of enforcement. “But that doesn’t mean we have to pass the buck. We have to work with the provincial Conservation Service and others,” Lum said. Candidate Patti MacAhonic mentioned the volunteer-run river cleanups in the Chilliwack area as part of the solution, as well as reporting dumpers to the provincial RAPP line. On urban gardening question there was some confusion as to what was being asked. Many can-

didates expressed strong support for maintaining the Agricultural Land Reserve, but Lum refocused the discussion, and cited community supported agriculture (CSAs), and backyard gardening. k Incumbent Chuck Stam mentioned thee online Live! Chilliwack ass a new venture that sup-ports urban gardeners. On the topic of transitt and bike lanes the incumbents like Sue Attrill and Stam stressed the big transit expansion has meant quicker service and more routes, along with plans for a better bike lane

network. Candidate Michael Kha said the heart of any city needs to have “reliable” transportation, and there’s a need to “keep improving” the system. syst Candidate Brenda C Currie wanted to see Cur more user-friendly hours mor later at night for workers late trying to use transit after tryi work. work Some suggested more bike lanes were needed, while others like candidates Dick Harrington and Sam Waddington lauded the transit improvements recently

Central elementary celebrates 85 years Jenna Hauck The Progress Chilliwack’s oldest school is turning 85 this year and thousands of alumni are invited to join the festivities. Central Elementary Community School will be opening its doors and welcoming past and current students and teachers to walk the halls once again and relive more than eight decades of memories next month. Guided tours will be going on throughout the day. “Past students, like Trevor McDonald, will be leading the tours from different generations,” says organizer Clara Hooper whose two sons and husband (in the 1970s) attended Central. “And we have permission to view the attic,” she adds. “Kids from years ago never got to go in the attic.” Tours of the school, including a visit to the attic, will leave every 15 minutes and each one will be different. Most classrooms will be locked due to personal belongings inside, but the tour guides will have special access to get into the rooms that the visitors want to see. “There will be history all around the school,” says Hooper. The walls will be filled with photo collages depicting generations of students and staff. Trophies will line the shelves, and various school T-shirts and mascots will also be on display. A hotdog barbecue, put on by the school’s PAC, will take place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to raise funds for a new primary playground. And what’s a birthday party without cake? Mayor Sharon Gaetz, an alumnus herself, will be cutting

the cake at noon. Other special guests include dignitaries like school board members and city councillors. “We have been in contact with students in the 1930s to come out as well,” says Hooper. Students from the ‘30s would have been some of the first students to attend the school. Central elementary opened on Oct. 21, 1929 on Young Road. The Central Elementary 85th Anniversary open house runs 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 22 at the school (9435 Young Rd.). Anyone wishing to donate or display something from past years at the event, or for more info can contact Clara Hooper at 604-795-1669, or greg.clara@ shaw.ca. photo@theprogress.com twitter.com/PhotoJennalism

made to the system. Candidates were asked for their “future vision” of Chilliwack, and how they would help boost the city’s image. Candidate Kim Harder said her image was for a collaborative and inclusive community, and that she would be an active “ambassador” for Chilliwack, adding she was “committed to community and dedicated to progress.” A few said an increase in advertising was key to get the word out, or they’d promote Chilliwack as a tourism centre. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

RCMP seek info on home invasion

RCMP are looking for leads in a bizarre and brazen home invasion Thursday morning. Five people stormed a house in the 52000 block of Yale Road East, slightly west of the roundabout located at Highway 9 and Yale Road. The only occupant in the residence was able to escape and get help from a neighbour; she was not injured during the altercation with the suspects. “The occupants are not known to the police and we are trying to determine the motivation behind this home invasion,” said Const. Ashley St. Germaine. Police are asking for the public’s help. “If anyone saw anything out of the ordinary, we want to hear from you,” St. Germaine said. “What could seem to be an insignificant detail could prove to be very important in this investigation.” It is believed that the suspects were in a smaller vehicle between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6:30 a.m., later fleeing from the scene. Agassiz RCMP Serious Crimes Unit continues to investigate this incident with the assistance of the Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Services and Lower Mainland Integrated Forensic Identification Section. Further information will be released when available. Anyone with any information that would assist the RCMP in this investigation, is “strongly urged” to contact Agassiz RCMP at 604-7962211. Information can also be provided anonymously. Contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Dog with four-pound tumour gets life-changing surgery Jenna Hauck The Progress A Shar-Pei named Biggy got the surgery he needed to remove a massive tumour hanging from his neck, thanks to veterinarian Dr. Mark Steinebach and generous public monetary donations. The tumour was removed yesterday morning. It is the size of a cantaloupe and weighs four pounds. “It’s shocking,” said Ivanna Ferris, manager of the B.C. SPCA’s Chilliwack branch. “It’s like a water balloon.” The tumour was attached to the left side of Biggy’s chin and hung down about a foot. His feet kicked it when he walked, and it has abrasions on it from when he bent down to sniff the ground. Dr. Steinebach of Valley Veterinary Services did the procedure pro bono. In addition, the public stepped up and donated the $3,000 that was originally needed in just a couple of days. Some of the money raised went towards Biggy’s medical bills, the rest will go towards other SPCA animals in need. The surgery went really well, said Ferris on Thursday. Turns out it’s a lipoma tumour and is benign. It took 62 stitches to close the wound following the two-and-a-half hour surgery. Biggy was recently

taken into care during an animal cruelty investigation. An SPCA officer obtained a warrant to remove the dog from his home and the next day, on Oct. 22, Biggy was signed over to the Chilliwack branch. No other dogs were seized from the home. The owner could not afford the cost of surgery, and so she tied a sling around his neck to prevent the tumour from hanging down. Biggy, who turns nine next month, doesn’t appear to have any neck problems or pain as a result of the tumour which had been growing for about three years. He had blood work done before surgery which came back

healthy. His teeth are in good condition too, said Ferris. But he does have a couple of other medical conditions aside from the tumour. “Biggy also has bilateral entropion that will require corrective surgery as well as a dietrelated skin condition,” she said before the surgery. Bilateral entropion is a genetic condition in which a portion of the eyelid is inverted or folded inward. As a result, eyelashes can

scratch the eye and damage vision. Biggy had the surgery done on his eyes as well, and has a “very good prognosis” from Dr. Steinebach, said Ferris. “We get to see him be a normal dog, and I can’t wait to see how he reacts when he gets this removed,” she said on Wednesday. “Shar-Peis can be known to be aloof breeds,” said Ferris.

Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the first batch of cheques went out Oct. 20. He said with the vast number of applications it’s possible there will be “glitches” due to data entry errors, and some applications are taking longer to verify. “For children who were not in public school last year, for example children now in kindergarten for the first time, it

It’s noteworthy that the new numbers are coming from independent studies, and were not the result of City of Chilliwack press releases, he underlined. When it comes to bringing jobs, investment and businesses to Chilliwack, CEPCO reps are aware it often comes down the financial bottom line for corporate decision-makers, despite the extremely

high quality of life here. So making sure the business environment is seen as “competitive and attractive” to business continues to be job one for CEPCO and the city, said Coombes. The study results make it clear that Chilliwack has made it easier for developers to cut through the red tape and regulatory requirements to invest in new commercial development. “It’s a competitive

atmosphere in the Lower Mainland so a city like Chilliwack has to do something to stand out,” said Coombes. Keeping the business tax multiplier at the lowest level possible sends a message to business leaders that they will not be punished. “Not just saying it but doing it makes a difference,” said the CEPCO head.

made a conscious decision to facilitate factors that cut the red tape, and permit times. He mentioned neighbourhoods like Garrison Crossing and the ones near the Vedder Rotary Trail, as well as Canada Education Park and the growing commercial base in Chilliwack. “It’s a community with a bright future,” said Coombes. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Labour consumes most new tax dollars cities collect: study Jeff Nagel Black Press Rising property taxes charged by B.C. municipalities have mainly gone to cover higher labour costs, rather than expanding civic services, according to an analysis by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. It found B.C.’s 30 biggest cities brought in a combined $490 million more in 2013 than five years earlier through a combination of property tax rate hikes, higher assessments and growth, while they spent $345 million more on municipal salaries, wages and benefits over the same period. That means 70 cents out of every new property tax dollar generated since 2009 was eaten up by labour costs, CTF B.C. director Jordan Bateman said. “It seems that most of this money is going to fund raises for existing executives, existing managers and labour contracts,” he said, although he conceded in some cases the higher labour costs have added additional employees to provide

expanded services. Rising labour costs actually exceeded the entire growth in property taxes in Vancouver, West Vancouver, Delta, North Vancouver City and West Kelowna. “Every single new cent plus more went to paying for labour in those cities,” Bateman said. Bucking the trend was Langford, where municipal labour costs actually declined slightly since 2009. Bateman said that was due to the local council’s “pretty aggressive” contracting out of municipal services to private firms, which the CTF broadly supports. The CTF analysis excludes all contracted labour costs, including RCMP policing services, although policing costs are included in cities with municipal forces. Union of B.C. Municipalities president Sav Dhaliwal, a Burnaby city councillor, dismissed the findings as unsurprising. “A great portion of our operating costs have always been salary and benefits of our employees,” Dhaliwal said.

He’s happiest when he’s in a room with people, and he’s assessed well with the other dogs.” Biggy will do anything for treats. And if you can look past the dog drool, you will see his gentle personality shine through. “It’s like he has an anchor around his neck that’s weighing him down, but regardless, he has this great outlook. He is such a friendly boy and really deserves to have a happy last year or two of life,” said Ferris. As a non-profit organization, the B.C. SPCA is supported through public donations.

R AESIDE

This year, the annual celebration of Halloween will collide with the beginning of the weekend, on Friday night. Weekends and Halloween can be a potent mix sometimes, as the activities of young trick-or-treaters collide with those of adults who want to celebrate the end of a work week, and in the case of Halloween, often use it as an occasion for a party. Many children of course love the experience of dressing up and going door-to-door, and there are plenty of ways for them to stay safe. Parents should accompany them, and wearing some type of reflective clothing and carrying flashlights is very helpful as well. While trick or treating usually doesn’t go on too late, drivers need to be very careful on Friday night. The weather has not been particularly great and it will be very dark, no matter what weather conditions are. Taking some extra precautions will be a good idea. As fireworks are not being sold in most areas as part of Halloween any longer, there are fewer issues involving their misuse. Nonetheless, there are always a few individuals who manage to get their hands on some fireworks, so caution is encouraged — both for those who set off fireworks, and for those who are in the vicinity. Police and fire department personnel usually expect a busy Halloween and are likely to be out in force, so those contemplating illegal activities might wish to keep that in mind. Thinking ahead about how to enjoy Halloween in a safe and responsible way is a good way to ensure that all goes well. It can be a fun evening, but at the same time, it is good to take precautions, given some of the things that inevitably happen that evening — and the fall weather and darkness. ~ Black Press

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Echoes still to be heard from attack in Ottawa As Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, the soldier shot last week while standing guard at the National War Memoria, was buried on Tuesday, U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry laid a wreath at the Memorial in his memory and in support of Canada. He minced no words about the danger of radical extremism and the growing threat of home grown terrorists. We are no strangers to terrorism. But with last week’s brutal murder of Cirillo, the attack on Parliament, and the savage killing of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent in Montreal, the potential for unstable, self-radicalized lone wolves obsessed with conspiracy theories, irrational hatreds, or ISIS-fueled anger with its warped interpretation of Islam have been a headache for intelligence and security experts for years. It was just a matter of time as to when and where one of them would

surface and wreak havoc. The Canadian Security Intelligence Ser vice (CSIS) knows that about 130 individuals have left Canada to join terrorist organizations, their destination Syria to fight with ISIS. Over 80 have returned. Yes, they are being watched. But, no Margaret doubt, in the dark underbelly of this EVANS terrorist obsession are others operating under the radar who are not on the watch list and who could surface anywhere, anytime. Michael Zehaf-Bibeau who shot Cpl. Cirillo was one such person. But who, or what, is ISIS? Three years ago, the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) didn’t exist. Yet now it dominates

wide regions of Syria and Iraq and takes great pride in its gruesome beheadings on YouTube. It might be easy to dismiss them as brutal, fanatical lunatics except for the fact that they are an entity with a sophisticated command, intense control, a propaganda machine, and effective logistical capabilities to allow them to hold critical territory in the heart of the Middle East. According to an article by Shoshana Br yen and Michael Johnson with the Jewish Policy Center, ISIS is a combination of a non-al-Qaeda revival of the Islamic State of Iraq (originally sponsored by al-Qaeda) and Sunni Syrian rebel groups including the Nusra Front. They are immensely wealthy with known cash reser ves and assets well over $2 billion. They continue to raise $2 million a day from seized oil sales, extortion and smug-

gling. Their agenda is to enforce their view of conservative Islamic traditions and they use social media to spread fear. They have over 30,000 fighters known for their extreme brutality. The common thread is hatred for western democracy. As U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron said, “Islam is a religion of peace. They (ISIS) are not Muslims. They are monsters.” But the attack in Ottawa has sent jitters through the halls of major cities. Immediately after last Wednesday’s attack on Parliament Hill, there was an unprovoked attack on New York City police officers by a man with a hatchet. And remember the Boston Marathon bombings. Security has been increased around public buildings in Washington. In the U.K., where over 500 radicalized individuals

have left to join ISIS, heavily armed police detail now oversee the changing of the guards at London’s Buckingham Palace. Lone wolf terrorists are on the rise. According to author Ramon Spaaij in his 2012 book Understanding Lone Wolf Terrorism, between the 1970s and 2000s, attacks per decade have risen 45 per cent in the U.S. and a huge 412 per cent in 14 other countries. The worst on record is the attack in Norway when Anders Behring took 77 lives. To combat the threat, the Harper government wants to increase the powers of CSIS and the RCMP but many want a measured approach to protect personal freedoms. Finding that balance between vigilance and freedom could be quite challenging.

Judith Guichon, Lieutenant Governor of B.C., presents a class and staff at Little Mountain elementary with an award for winning the ‘under 11’ category in the inaugural year of her Sing Me A Song program. Guichon launched Sing Me A Song to promote music and community spirit throughout the province. It was an opportunity for musical groups of all ages and genres to write and sing an original song in the lead up to Canada’s 150th birthday celebrations in 2017. The class, in Grade 4 at the time, entered the contest last school year (See Chilliwack Progress, June 11). The award included a cheque for $1,000 with which the school will buy a new piano.

Victoria had a good home and loving parents. When she entered grade 7 she started hanging out with a different crowd that introduced her to parties that involved drugs and alcohol. At some of these parties she met older people who would often give her rides, take her out for dinner and buy her expensive gifts. Victoria began to experience increasing levels of conflict with her family as they objected to her breaking rules, staying out all night and coming home stoned.

Mineral exploration remains a major economic driver

Eventually attending school was not a priority for Victoria. As she became bored, she spent more and more time with her older friends, eventually turning to selling drugs. When things got too uncomfortable with going home and facing her family, Victoria began to live at her friend’s houses. Usually she was welcome for a night or two, but had to move on as the welcome wore out. Each evening she was unsure where she would be sleeping the next night. Food was a hit or miss, sometimes going all day without much to eat. Hygiene was a challenge, as a shower was not regularly available.

I have read many negative articles of late around mining in B.C. and I want to get my two bits into the discussion. Geologists, explorers, and developers all know that B.C., which has a land mass larger than Texas, France and Germany combined, is vastly underexplored. To encourage investment and exploration, the provincial government implemented a two-zone system to provide certainty for explorers and promote investment while also protecting parks, ecological reserves, sensitive environmental areas and other potential wilderness tourism areas. However, a strong sense of NIMBYism and relentless badgering in the media by certain well-funded special interest groups is stifling exploration of potentially rich mineral deposits

that could result in foreign investment, economic development, and thousands of jobs for British Columbians. Even local politicians are getting into the game in the lead up to the municipal elections next month. However, the concerns expressed by these special interests and politicians are grossly exaggerated and have little or no regard to the science or the social well-being of communities. We have to keep in mind that the land area actually impacted by mineral exploration in B.C. is much less than 0.01 per cent of our total land base. And the actual likelihood that exploration activity will result in a mine, after multiple environmental review and the economics of production are taken into consideration, is minuscule.

Yet the benefits are great and could potentially provide livelihoods for entire communities for generations to come and contribute directly and indirectly to the growth of many, many associated small businesses. This is good for all taxpayers and even for the many non-profit groups all over B.C. that benefit from the voluntary financial support exploration companies provide. In this municipal election, I would therefore like to encourage everyone to carefully consider which candidates for election can best facilitate ongoing mineral exploration activities in B.C., and provide certainty for potential investors, while ensuring that sensitive areas and parks are protected. We must move forward. Sandra Robinson

With nowhere left to go, Victoria called one of her older friends who let her stay at his place. After a few weeks her friend said that he would need to start collecting rent from her for staying there and eating his food. He indicated that since she didn’t have a job that she could pay the rent by doing sexual favours for him. Victoria left the home in fear and unsure of where she would go. She met with a Reconnect worker that evening and was set up with a hot meal, personal hygiene items, a shower and access to the youth shelter, Cyrus Centre. Victoria and the Reconnect worker developed a plan that included addictions and family counselling, ultimately, Victoria returned home. CCS Reconnect Workers assist in strengthening the connection between high-risk youth, their families, school and community. The Reconnect Worker establishes a trusting relationship with the youth and introduces them to community based workshops such as sexual exploitation, bullying, youth homelessness and addictions. Through these programs and with the support of the worker, the youth is able to make healthy and safe lifestyle choices. Support and advocacy for youth who are homeless, street involved or sexually exploited is available at Chilliwack Community Services. For more information, please contact Brenda at 604.702.2901.

‘Little things’ add up to Governor General’s award Martha Gumprich, 16, is the recipient of a Canadian Caring Award, which was given to her at We Day Vancouver Jenna Hauck The Progress At 16, Martha Gumprich has done more community service work than most people twice her age. “I’ve done a lot of little things, and I just keep going,” says Gumprich, a Grade 11 Sardis secondary student. All of those “little things” — and there are dozens of them — earned her a Governor General’s Caring Canadian Award last week during We Day Vancouver. “She’s very determined, she’s thoughtful, she’s organized, and hard working so I thought she is the perfect balance for the Canadian Caring Award,” says Mt. Slesse teacher Sandi Rae who nominated Gumprich for the award. Ever since she was little, Gumprich has been active in the community. Most recently, she went on a Me to We trip in March where she helped build a school in Kenya. She also helped fundraise for Free the Children and other relief funds, and joined Rotary’s Interact Club of Chilliwack. “You have an outspoken young woman who sets goals and achieves them. She’s very deserving of a service award,” says Rae. Rae was Gumprich’s Grade 9 leadership teacher two years ago. In Grade 10, she was one of 13 students who travelled to Oleleshwa, Kenya with Rae to build an all-girls high school. The school in Oleleshwa is still under construction, but the students are currently using it. Each classroom is its own standalone building, and different groups help out by building different sections of the school. The team from Mt. Slesse was there to move “thousands of rocks,” says Gumprich. “Going to Kenya was one of the best decisions I’ve made. It’s opened my eyes to how people around the world live and made me more empathetic to the problems and challenges they face on a daily basis just trying to survive. Having raised the entire amount necessary for my trip by doing odd jobs, babysitting, and saving all my

birthday and Hanukkah money, showed me that anything in life is achievable once you put your mind to it,” wrote Gumprich in a document submitted for the award nomination. “It taught me the value of goalsetting, staying focused, and that sometimes, one has to sacrifice small things to achieve big things. Going to Kenya increased my global awareness and instilled in me the desire to travel, experience different cultures, and to continue working towards making a difference in other people’s lives.” Gumprich was presented with the Caring Canadian Award on Oct. 21, the evening before We Day. Craig Kielburger, founder of Free the Children, presented her and nine others with their awards.

vice work, Gumprich still squeezes in time for herself. She recently picked up rowing, and before that, she was involved with dance for seven years. “I think you represent not just you, but you represent all of the students who do service work,” says Rae to Gumprich. “They can do service and make a difference but they don’t have to be a slave to service. They can still have a life and do extra curricular activities, and that should be recognized just as much as those kids who have started their own organizations,” says Rae. “All of those things that Martha has done adds up. I think she does represent a greater body of kids.” “It’s part of me, it’s what I do. I’ve been doing this stuff for my

“I never thought I’d be the kind of kid who would win this award,” she says. “You hear about these other kids who do big things like start their own charity.” Gumprich didn’t think the “little things” she had done could even compare. “I found out the night before, so it was definitely a shock since I didn’t think I had won. I’m really proud of myself and I’m very honoured to receive this award.” On top of that, she and Rae spoke on the We Day Vancouver stage in front of 20,000 students about their trip to Kenya. “I felt very privileged to share the stage with so many people who had done incredible work,” says Gumprich.

An interesting historical footnote, at one time (in the late 19th century, Edison was a community of Utopian Socialists known as the Equality Colony). Not sure if I’ll ever get completely comfortable with the central instrument panel in a Prius. A switch button on the dash that changed kilometres to miles, however, was brilliantly simple and perfect for this trip. My biggest beef with the Prius v was cabin road noise at high speeds. Depending on the highway surface it can be so loud that it’s hard to converse with a front passenger. Bigger and better, the Prius v offers the functionality and versatility of a wagon, for a relatively small price premium. Toyota’s tried and trusted Hybrid Synergy Drive system offers outstanding fuel economy and surprisingly good power, when needed.

Keith Morgan

Driving all 3,945 kilometres of the famous Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica has always been on my bucket list. However, I’m hoping that after enduring a week on that often rocky and rough road that it will not be the last of my ever expanding must-do-before-I-die list! On Saturday, November 1, I head to Chicago for a route briefing and meeting with Gary Fleshman, who has driven the route more than 100 times. I am one of 14 journalists from across Canada participating in the drive staged by Nissan Canada to launch the 2015 versions of the Altima sedan and Rogue sport ute. Interestingly, a few people plan to do only half of the journey . . . seems to me that’s like climbing half way up Everest! The daily trek will range between 450 and 600 kilometres, getting us to California by the evening of Saturday, November 9. We’ll pass through Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. Along the way, we will visit many locations and attractions made famous through Hollywood and many a TV documentary, not to mention dozens of life-on-the-road books. Personally, I’m looking forward to spotting the roadside ghost towns that inspired the Cars movies, who said they’re just for kids? And in New Mexico and Arizona my eyes will be scanning for locations featured in the Breaking Bad TV series. We’re camping under the stars in the Grand Canyon. Sheesh!

Heavy rains prompt river warning Local anglers are being reminded to watch for changing conditions on the Chilliwack and Vedder Rivers. Heavy rainfall higher up the Chilliwack River Valley can have a dramatic impact on river levels down stream. On Oct. 26 levels measured at the Vedder Bridge rose more than 30 centimetres throughout the day. That means a dry gravel bar can quickly become cut off from shore. On Tuesday, Search and Rescue volunteers were called out to help reach a stranded fisher. On Wednesday they were called out again after a boat capsized. No one was injured in either case.

We’d like to thank all of our sponsors & supporters for yet another successful show... we couldn’t do it without you! For anyone who would like to join us for our AGM; it’s on Wed., Nov. 5 at 7:00 pm @ Firkus Aircraft Hangar

The loss of all our lovely fall foliage often makes November seem far more bleak than other winter months. Winter flowering heathers are one of the best sources of winter colour and they bloom in sequence. The fresh appearance of new heather buds can really transform a dull winter garden into an attractive show place, and with a little careful planning, you can stretch that colour from November until May of the following year. There are, however, a few secrets to planting and displaying these colourful winter jewels. One of the finest features of winter heathers is their ability to grow in areas where other plants have some difficulty. They perform best in well drained soil. Over the years, I have had the most success by preparing the planting hole with a 50 percent mixture of fine fir or hemlock bark mulch. Heathers will not tolerate heavy clay soils or wet feet, but I’m surprised at how much shade they’ll accept.

precious blossoms looking fresh. Heathers can be used in many ways. They make ideal ground covers when planted at 24 inch centres. They’re a good, compact summer cover that becomes a sea of colour when you need it most in the winter. They make ideal border plants and just sensational small hedges. I love to use them in containers, especially in winter colour gardens. At this time of year, heathers would certainly liven up your outdoor planters. No rock garden would be complete without a grouping of heather, and blocks of white heather planted among your evergreen beds would create quite a pleasing effect. However, the most impressive way to use heathers is to plant them as groupings in a bed by themselves. You may wish to mix in some summer blooming varieties as well. If you can blend a few colourful dwarf conifers, like ‘Blue Star’ juniper, orange toned ‘Rheingold’ cedars and

Although they are sun loving plants, heathers bloom just as profusely, perhaps a little bit taller, in shady locations. One very important feature to remember is the fact that heathers have hundreds of finely textured roots. Unless you moisten the rootball thoroughly and ruffle up the root system, Brian your heather will probably MINTER get into trouble fairly quickly. A rootbound plant has difficulty pushing its roots out into new soil unless the outer mat of solid roots has been carefully ruffled and loosened. Winter heathers are very hardy, but we have always recommended planting them out of the coldest winter winds. Throw a bit of the new ‘N-Sulate’ fabric over your plants if we get a bitter cold spell without any protective snow covering to keep those

‘Sungold’ thread cypress in with the heathers, you have the beginnings of a well textured planting. Add a few carefully chosen stones and some early flowering shrubs, like viburnum ‘Pink Dawn’, corylopsis and Chinese witch hazel, and you will have created a beautiful winter flowering floral bed around your home. A few spring blooming bulbs and summer evergreen perennials, blended into the bed, will make an outstanding display during the spring and summer months as well. Most heather flowers come in shades of white, pink and reds, but you can add a great deal of contrast by using some of the new golden foliage varieties like ‘Golden Starlet’ (white flowers), ‘Mary Helen’ (pink flowers) and ‘Eva Gold’ (dark pink flowers). Heathers have always been one of my favourite plants, and I sincerely hope you plant some newer varieties now to create more vibrant colour in your winter garden.

Fear. It makes us anxious; it causes stress. It’s uncomfortable, and so often it holds us back. It can stop us from doing the things we want to do, and ultimately living the life we want to live. It’s an emotion that I am familiar with, and perhaps you are too. Fear of the unknown, fear or failure, and even Tanja fear of success. SHAW My path as a business owner is punctuated with fear. Fear of opening my own business. (How do I get clients? What if I fail?) Fear of hiring my first fitness coach. (What if all my clients leave? What if I cannot support a new trainer? What if everyone hates me?) Fear of opening my own studio. (What if I can’t pay rent?) Often, the fear is imaginary. It’s the “what ifs” and the unknowns that are scary. We battle these imaginary sabertooth tigers when trying to sleep at night, or trying to move forward to reach something we want. Fear is often there you move out of your comfort zone – and that’s where the magic happens. A few weeks ago, I attended a conference in Orlando with other fitness business leaders in North America. Two years ago, at a similar seminar, we wrote down on a board the things that were stopping us from doing the things we wanted to do. We were then taught how to break through the board with our bare

hands. Yikes! (“Will it hurt? What if I can’t do it? What if…). But I did it. I broke through. This year we walked bare foot over broken glass. The thought of walking over broken glass didn’t excite me. In fact, I really didn’t want to do it. Would it hurt? Would I get cut? I did it, and I will share how, and why. It’s not everyday that we need to break boards or walk over broken glass. In real life, we have other obstacles to overcome. I have worked with hundreds of clients to overcome obstacles on the journey to living a healthier, happier life. For some, it’s fear of the unknown, or for not being able to do it. Some are worried about what other people will think. Some are frightened of success. Each time fear is conquered; there are three things in common: • There’s a purpose. There’s a why. For breaking boards and walking over glass, my why was simply to prove that I could. It was to practice overcoming fear. In business, my driving purpose is to empower and support others to change their lives in powerful and positive ways through fitness and sound nutrition. When the ‘why’ is strong enough, it’s a much easier to crush fear. Your ‘why’ to becoming healthier is individual. Perhaps you want to have more energy, or no longer want your weight or body image to stop you from living the life you want to live. Maybe you want to be your best for their family. • There’s a system. We

didn’t break boards or walk over glass without instruction. We were carefully taught how to do it so that we would be successful. In business, I have coaches to help me plan out how to achieve the next step. When it comes to reaching your health and fitness, goals, be sure to have a plan. For example, you may start by exercising three mornings a week, and eating protein at breakfast. • There’s support. When going to break a board with my bare hand, or walk over a bed of glass, I was not alone. I had my community of friends and coaches to help me every step of the way. In my business, I am so fortunate to have the support of a network of other fitness business leaders, coaches, the support of my clients and team at Ascend Fitness, and the support of my family. When it comes to success in fitness, enlist support. Surround yourself by friends, family, colleagues and coaches who will support you. Each time I conquer fear, I am stronger, more confident and a better person. To me, business is not just about business. Ascend Fitness is a catalyst for my own personal growth, and for carrying out my purpose in life. I am so fortunate with to work with so many men and women who have conquered their own fears on their way to living a better life.

Light at the end of a long, dark tunnel

The final in a two-part series on the impact that a concussion can have on a young athlete. Eric Welsh The Progress It seemed like forever before Presley Roberts started to emerge from the fog of her first concussion. At first, doctors suggested a three-month recovery, which stretched to six months and then a year. Not until the 18 month mark did she finally start to feel normal. For three weeks she didn’t have any headaches, and she was able to concentrate in school. She could go on walks without feeling fall-over dizzy. Most importantly, the depression and roller-coaster mood swings subsided. Her mom said Presley would come back to her, and she did. The happy-go-lucky teen with a zillion Facebook friends was back in action, planning a return to the thing she loved most. Soccer! Heading into her Grade 12 year at Chilliwack secondary school, she readied herself to backstop the senior girls soccer squad. Head coach Shane Mummery was thrilled to have her back, naming her first as he scanned his roster. “She is a real good goaltender and she’ll give us a chance to be competitive in just about every game we play,” he said. At a preseason tournament at CSS, Presley was enjoying her long-awaited return to the pitch. “Just don’t head the ball,” Mummery said, half joking. Which is, of course, exactly what she did. A few minutes into her first game, she came tearing out of net and threw her noggin into the ball, with Chilliwack Progress photographer Jenna Hauck capturing the moment on the front page of the Progress sports section. But, she felt OK! Presley was happy beyond belief. For the next 10 minutes. Suddenly, an opponent was on a breakaway and Presley was at the top of the 18-yard box to challenge. The attacking player had a bad touch and the keeper thought she could dive out and get the ball. All her life Presley had been taught to bring her knee up when she dove, using it to protect her face, and

Concussions may have ended Presley Roberts’ playing career, but it hasn’t broken her spirit. In fact, she says it’s made her stronger. JENNA HAUCK/ THE PROGRESS

that’s what she tried to do here. But she wasn’t quick enough. She got the ball, but she also got kicked in the head. “I tried to get up but went right down back again, and I knew something was wrong,” she said. “Everything I felt with my first concussion started coming back instantly and knew it was another one.” Intellectually, Presley knew it. But she didn’t want to admit it. Mummery moved a finger in front of her face to check her eye movements and asked her some basic questions. All the while, Presley was trying to assure him that she was OK. Despite everything she’d been through with the first concussion, and her awareness that she’d just sustained a second, her main goal was staying in the game. “I’m stubborn, and I wanted to keep fighting,” she said. “I was basically denying everything I knew.” Presley sat on the sidelines, still insisting she was OK. But the yelling and screaming of the crowd behind her was so, so loud. And as she tried to track the movement of

the players and ball on the field in front of her, she felt herself becoming nauseous. She desperately wanted to get to the bathroom to throw up. Escorted by her friend, Sarah Bowen, Presley moved like a celebrity trying to avoid the paparazzi. Head down the entire way, talking to no one, she walked through the gym in her cleats, found a toilet and vomited. As she left the bathroom she was confronted by Mummery and all of her gym teachers, intervention style. A few minutes later, Mom got a phone call that her daughter was at the hospital. “It made me sick,” she recalled. “The poor thing having to go through all of that again.” ❖❖❖

At least this time Presley knew what to expect. While not all concussions are created equal, she recognized the symptoms and knew how to manage them. Still, she battled her type-A personality the entire way. Every time she had a good day, she wanted to get out there test herself. She almost always regretted it.

“As soon as you try you know you probably shouldn’t have,” she said. “When you’re an athlete, a lot of times you hurt your knee or get some bruises and you tough it out because you know you can ice it down later. With a concussion, the more you try to push through it the more you hurt yourself later on. That’s the hardest part. Knowing when to stop and when to go.” For her 16th birthday, Presley wanted to go bungee-jumping. While concussed! And she was angry when her parents objected. In the midst of her second concussion, Presley and some friends (including also-concussed Sarah Bowen) went to a Luke Bryan concert. Worst. Idea. Ever. The lights started strobing and the music started blaring and all Presley and Sarah could do was lower their heads and cover their ears. ❖❖❖

It was a trip to Victoria and a visit with a neuropsychologist that finally drove home how serious this was. She went there for a meet-and-greet, accompanied by

her aunt. After her first concussion, Presley thought she might want to get involved in this field of medicine, and this trip was supposed to be about that. But while she was there, the doctor ran her through a series of tests. Again, simple stuff. Presley sat at a computer and tapped the keyboard to test her cognitive reflexes. She was asked to match colors and shapes. The tests ran over four hours, but one hour in she knew she was in trouble. “She’s a lot more damaged than she appears to be,” the doctor said. Later, Presley looked at her scores on a computer monitor. You want green, not red, and all she could see was a sea of red. She had scored in the first percentile, meaning that if Presley and 99 of her peers took that same test that same day, all of them would have performed better than her. It shifted her world. She looked the doctor in the eyes and asked if she could still play soccer. She’ll never forget the response. “If you want to continue to live a healthy lifestyle, you should give it up now.” Later, on the ferry ride back to the Mainland Presley felt a tear running down her cheek, and she rushed to the bathroom. No one was around, so she let it all out, sobbing uncontrollably. All the weekends given up. All the late night practices in the rain. The struggles. The bruises. The joy. The laughter. Presley had dreamed of playing soccer at the university level and she was almost there. So, so close. And now, done. She told her parents when she got home. They expected it. After the first concussion they’d encouraged her to battle back and play again. But the test results were too scary. The game she loved could hurt her too much. ❖❖❖

She went to school the following week and sat down in Mummery’s office. Throughout the last year, Mummery and co-coach Jason Templeton had leaped out her way in the school hallways, joking about not wanting to hurt her. They’d teased her about wrapping her in bubble wrap. But sitting there now, Mummery wasn’t in a joking mood.

He knew Presley’s potential and knew how long and how hard she’d worked. To him, it was like taking the paint brush out of Picasso’s hand. Taking the piano away from Beethoven. It wasn’t fair to end it like this. The stoic coach tried so hard to hold back the tears. Presley could see his eyes get watery and when one tear finally escaped she felt better. “It made me feel like, even though I’m not playing anymore, I made a difference,” she said. ❖❖❖

It’s early October now and Presley is on the grass field adjacent to Promontory Community School, surrounded by a pack of seven, eight and nine year old girls. Presley’s been asked to come out and give the Chilliwack FC Hornets a crash course on goaltending, which would be easier to do if they’d just stop giggling for a second. She takes them through a warm up, starting with butt kicks (giggle). They run to a pylon and back, their feet hitting their butts on the way. Then they do skips (giggle) with Presley telling them to get their knees up. For these girls the biggest issue is diving. They are scared to hit the ground and stop the ball. “I was scared, just like you are,” Presley says with a knowing smile.

She runs them through proper technique, putting added emphasis on the need to bring the knee up to protect the head. By the end of the practice the Hornets are flinging themselves from post to post with enthusiastic abandon. Presley has a smile on her face and it’s hard to figure who’s getting more out of the experience, them or her. She graduated from high school in June and is trying to find her way in a world without soccer. This moment gives her a brief connection to the game. Coaching is something she has a knack for. But she also doesn’t think she’s finished as an athlete just yet. She might try her hand at track and field. “It’s a new chapter, and I’m thinking pro

wrestling,” she grins. She feels almost fully recovered from the second concussion, though the family dog has been no help. One day she’s in the living room when Sid, a large fella named after Sidney Crosby, comes over and slams his head into hers. He is persona non doggie the rest of the day. She will live the rest of her life with just a little bit of fear forever lurking in the back of her mind. But Presley feels she’s stronger because the concussions happened. Her whole family is. Asked how the experience has changed her, she pauses to reflect, then says, “We all saw each other when we were bare and broken down. We were all at the bottom and it took this experience to know how much we care about each other. If there’s one thing I learned, it’s that you can’t go through something like this by yourself.” ❖

Three-team race for the top The Chiefs are nearing the quarter mark of the season and despite dropping two straight for the first time this season, they still possess the best winning percentage in the Mainland Division after earning 21 of a possible 28 points through 14 games. Right now the division seems to be three tiered. It’s the Chiefs and Prince George Spruce Kings battling for first place. The Langley Rivermen are sitting comfortable in the middle followed by the Surrey Eagles and Coquitlam Express fighting for the fourth and final playoff spot. The Rivermen have made a few player moves recently and I expect them to move up and make it a three team race for the top of the division. A break in the schedule that sees the Chiefs idle until a home-and-home series versus Langley Nov. 7 and 8 could not come at a better time for this team. Six regulars were out of the lineup with injuries in Saturday night’s 4-2 loss to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs. Every team goes through injury problems, but I cannot remember a Chiefs team having that many guys unable to play at one time. Cole Sartorio

Giants head to playoffs with a win After a loss to No. 1 Langley (41-14) and a loss to No. 2 North Surrey (21-14), the Giants Midget team went back to the drawing board to secure a home win Friday. The Giants put their 6-2 record against the 3-4 Meadow Ridge Knights. The Giants’ running game went well, with Thomas Heuser finding the end zone twice. Trey Issac had another solid night at special teams, nailing a 35-yard field goal. The defence was solid again with Jace Harden at the helm. Chris Derksen and Emerson Harvey were unstoppable on the D-line. Tyson Klassen recovered a fumble to scamper into the end zone for his first TD of the season. Thijs Duineveld scored as well to help secure the 31-14 win. There next stop is the playoffs, where the team will likely meet Meadow Ridge in the first round.

Many Chiefs memories were discussed at the Chiefs’ office this week. It turned into a debate on who are the best Chiefs players of all time, writes Jacob Bestebroer returned to the lineup Tuesday in Merritt and hopefully Rory Bell is ready to go next week, but defensemen Mark Esposito, Olivier Arseneau along with forwards Brandon Potomak and Mason Boh may not be. These are all very important players that have been obviously missed the last few games. I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Chiefs in their retro jerseys Saturday night. It brought back a lot of memories for me as I’m sure it did for all the long time Chiefs fans that were in attendance. It was also nice to see the video message from former Chiefs Captain Peter Zurba. We hope to have more messages like that from former players throughout the rest of the season. Many Chiefs memories were discussed at the Chiefs office earlier this week. It turned into a debate on who are the best Chiefs players of all time. The discussion

may have led to an exchange of blows if it weren’t for the soothing tones of George Jones emanating from the TV in Chiefs president Glen Ringdal’s office. I’m still arguing with myself on who should be on that list. With 25 years worth of players to choose from it’s extremely difficult to say who was the best player at each position or even rank the top 25 or 50. It’s a fun discussion point though. The Chiefs will introduce two new ticket packages next week. Package one has three ticket vouchers along with a choice of a Chiefs 25th Anniversary puck or pin for $29.95. That’s a $45 value. The second package, priced at $49.95 comes with four ticket vouchers along with a choice of a Chiefs hat or scarf. The value on that one is right around $74. They will be available at the Chiefs office through the December holiday season.

On October 25, 2014, our beloved mother, grandmother and great-grandmother passed peacefully into the presence of her Lord at Glenwood Care Centre in Agassiz, BC. Alma was predeceased by her loving husband, Heinrich, her great-grandson Isaac, and by her two younger sisters, Gisela and Ilse in Germany. She is loved and survived by her three daughters – Hanne (Fritz) Seidel of Cochrane, AB, Trudy (Klaus) Werner of Harrison Hot Springs, BC, and Barb Kobabe of Vancouver, BC. Alma was much loved and cherished by her 10 grandchildren and by her 19 great-grandchildren who all lovingly called her “Oma”. Alma will also be missed by her extended family and many friends in Germany. Alma was a voracious reader, loved German crossword puzzles, Sudoku and classical music. At Logan Manor and

Glenwood Care Centre in Agassiz, she developed a love for Bingo and won more than her share of games. Alma smiled easily and often, had a grand sense of humour and enjoyed life. She considered the staff at Logan Manor and Glenwood Care Centre her second family and was loved and respected by care staff at both sites. Alma loved and appreciated her care staff and prayed for each of them by name on a daily basis. On June 16, 2014, Alma celebrated her 100th birthday and was delighted with all those who shared in her celebration of 100 years well lived. A Celebration of Alma Kobabe’s life will be held on Saturday, November 1, 2014 at 1:30 pm at Christ Lutheran Church, 9460 Charles Street in Chilliwack, BC. A reception and time of sharing stories will follow after the service. In lieu of flowers, donations in Alma Kobabe’s memory may be made to the Christ Lutheran Church Memorial Fund or to Lutheran World Relief.
