Candidates asked for unique ideas Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The Chilliwack Progress asked city council candidates to outline their “out-of-the-box” ideas this week as part of ongoing Elections 2014 coverage. Sixteen of 17 candidates replied (with complete answers online at www. thepr ogr ess. com) with what th they would br bring to the ta table if elected to “significantly improve” so some aspect of how the City of Chilliwack is run. Candidate Patti MacAhonic tackled poverty. “I believe the root cause of some of the largest problems facing Chilliwack today is poverty. Social entrepreneurship—a drive for social undertakings that combine business principles and motivations—are emerging as promising approaches to combating poverty,” she said. “I am proposing that we develop a poverty elimination strategy and policy using these innovative approaches that are measurable and address key areas such as income security, housing, food security, employment, health, and childcare.” Many of the ideas from first-time candidates had to do with “engaging” the electorate in a variety of ways. Two of them zeroed in on youth. For candidate Kim Harder, the idea is to establish a Youth Health Centre. “Plenty of evidence exists to show that engaging youth early on creates, healthier, safer and therefore one could say, more attractive cities,” said Harder, adding she also favours youth representation at the city level. “When you look at the excitement young people have around events like We Day, it’s

Anti-abortion stunt accused of disrespecting veterans City says ‘confusion’ won’t result in fine Jennifer Feinberg The Progress There should have been a little more respect shown in Chilliwack for Canadian soldiers and veterans. That was the sentiment from some residents this week, in the wake of an anti-abortion protest that covered a city property in blue and pink flags Saturday morning. Organizers said they thought they had permission to blanket the Chilliwack Museum grounds in 10,000 flags. City staff contend they did not in fact have permission, as no formal request was received from

organizers to use the civic property, which includes the Chilliwack Cenotaph. About 25 members of group, made up of local volunteers with Fraser Valley Association for Reformed Political Action and WeNeedaLAW.ca went ahead anyway and set up the anti-abortion display at about 7 a.m. on Nov. 1. “We are doing this to show to our community the momentous impact that abortion has on our community and nation,” said organizer Emily Van Brederode in a press release before the event. “Although our political leaders claim that abortion should be safe,

legal and rare, these flags show that it is happening 100,000 times every year in Canada.” But the comments and reactions to the anti-abortion display were scathingly critical that night online, after photos popped up of the event. “The Cenotaph was not the right location especially during the two week period (Oct. 31 - Nov .11) set aside to Honour Soldiers/ Veterans,” wrote one outraged poster. “There is no way that you can compare what a soldier and his/her family have experienced to an unborn child.” Another said he was so angry he put a call into the RCMP. “I called the RCMP to talk to them.

have to apply for a permit to protest. They did not have one,” he fumed, adding: “The only thing useful that they did that day was aerate the lawn around the cenotaph with their flags.” One of the organizers Mike Schouten said it was more educational than a protest. “It was a unique way to get attention, but not offensive,” he suggested since their literature didn’t have any horrifying graphics. “And there will always be people who do not want to see this” type of display, adding the point was there is no legislation in Canada protecting the rights of the unborn.” Continued: VETERANS/ p7

Candidates: Paving the road to better student success More than 20 per cent of students who start school in Chilliwack, fail to graduate within the prescribed time. Improvements have been made over the past few years, but Chilliwack’s completion rate remains below the provincial average. In our ongoing series on election issues, The Progress asked trustee candidates what they would do to improve completion rates in the district. Here is a synopsis of what candidates who responded to our question had to say. (Their complete responses can be found in the Q&A section under the Election 2014 tab at www.theprogress.com.) For many candidates, success at the secondary level must begin early. By Grade 7 as many as 40 per cent of students lack sufficient reading skills to succeed, said Heather Maahs. “We can start

to improve reading – and the graduation rate – by reinstating the resource program that was geared for students between grades 4 and 6,” she suggested. Silvia Dyck argued that improved graduation rates must begin in kindergarten. The first four years of school are critical to building a foundation of literacy and numeracy that can be fortified in each succeeding year. Without that foundation, the result is frustration and eventually disengagement, she said. The problem, said Martha Wiens, is that too many students are not taught the basics early on and are unprepared. “They have been denied the opportunity, to be taught what is expected as a requirement for high school completion,” she said. While reading is critical to success, Walt Krahn agreed, so is stu-

dent engagement. He suggested each student be assigned an advisor to connect with weekly for support and encouragement. They need opportunities to see their education has relevance, he said. John-Henry Harter agreed, but said that won’t happen if schools are not properly funded. For success to occur, teachers and their students need the support of education assistants, teacher libraries and counsellors. “The issue of funding, completion, achievement, class size and composition are interrelated,” he said. “We need to ensure equitable learning conditions for all students to keep them engaged and working towards completion.” That point was echoed by Barry Neufeld. Mentoring is an important contributor to student success, he said. However, “With the current funding shortage and low

morale of teachers, especially at the secondary level, we simply don’t have enough employees to form meaningful individual relationships with students who are getting discouraged.” Karen Jarvis agreed: “While lack of funding is a chronic problem with student support, the need for relationship building can go a long way,” she said. Ben Besler said success will come through a more personalized approach. “ I believe that we can encourage more students to graduate by continuing to allow our schools to diversify for more personalized education,” he said. That’s particularly true for aboriginal students, said Dan Coulter. “If aboriginal students see their culture valued and reflected

in their schools, completion rates will surely rise,” he argued. Paul McManus said that before the district arrives at a solution, it must clearly understand the source of the problem and understand why so many students are m leaving school. le Rob Stelmaschuk, meanwhile, had m a more practical approach: “Offer ap the students technith cal vocational training for the last three years of school, 10-12. This would give them the skills to fit right into the workforce and give them a future and a reason to complete there schooling,” he said.

Flu season may be early this year Tom Fletcher Black Press It’s a good year to get a shot of influenza vaccine early, says Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall. “We’re already starting to see some influenza activity around the province, which suggests that this flu season may be coming earlier than past flu seasons,” Kendall said this week. Kendall joined Health Minister Terry Lake and other MLAs who rolled up their sleeves to receive their annual flu shots at the B.C. legislature. Lake said flu vaccination is on the upswing in B.C., with last year setting a record for doses of vaccine administered. That includes 76 per cent of health care workers, who are now required to get vaccinated or wear a mask in patient care areas during the winter flu season. Contrary to popular misconceptions about “stomach flu” or “24-hour flu,” influenza is a severe respi-

Candidates given the chance to think outside the box CANDIDATES from Front clear that they are wanting to make a difference and be involved. “The University of the Fraser Valley is large untapped resource for potentially increasing youth engagement in municipal politics,” said Harder. Incumbent Jason Lum said he’d like to see a “youth advisory committee” set up at city hall. “With declining voter turnouts, it is clear that we must work harder to educate, engage, and include a new generation of voters in the decision making pro-

cess. “What better way than to learn handson about the roles and responsibilities of Local Government than having a direct say in some of the recommendations to Mayor and Council. Incumbent Chuck Stam went out a snow removal limb to solve the problem of snow clogged roads. “My ‘out of the box’ idea is more of a back to the basics, citizen engagement idea relating to heavy snow fall events,” Stam said. “The concept is city would pre-qualify and contract with owners of

heavy equipment and farm implements to be available and ready when called upon to remove the snow from pre-determined third and fourth priority roads. “This would free up our equipment and operators to remain focused on our first and second priority roads and provide safer passage to our less travelled neighborhoods and country roads.” Candidate Phillip Maxwell said he’ll be active on social media, and in person, to keep people informed, and to counter the idea that council is unreachable.

“With the social media craze, people have forgotten how to talk to each other. I want to bring this crazy idea of talking to someone face to face back. “I will attend public events, have open forums and talk to local business owners to ensure there is a ‘personal touch’ to my seat on council,” said Maxwell. Candidate Phill Bruce is also out to “engage” folks. “My Out of the Box idea is to continually engage people throughout my term to find out what the real issues and concerns are from the people in the street to the farmers in the field, facilitate from the people of Chilliwack how to fix there issues and concerns and how to make this community better,” said Bruce. Candidate Michael Kha’s idea is a city council meeting that goes mobile to take the issues directly to the people. “We could call this initiative the ‘Road Show’ and let everyone be comfortable in their own environment while learning about how the city works. I believe that if we can bring city hall to ‘people’ more people would be interested in politics, and be more engaged with the

current issues.” Getting more Chilliwackians out to vote, and getting key info out to them, through accountability and transparency seemed to be the overarching theme for several people. Candidate Brenda Currie said she would like to see “voting promoted on a continuous basis,” such as going out to schools and educating the youth to vote, “and not just at election time. I feel getting more citizens involved will allow them to have more input.” Candidate Richard Williams said his “top priority” is “strengthening the foundations” of public engagement. “For instance; we must start making all public (non-council) meetings/forums part of the public record like council meetings. Social media and other online forums (as examples) must become an integrated part of ‘regular council’ meetings as well as the other public meetings. Processes like the rezoning applications can also be enhanced

with more online engagement.” Candidate Brigida Crosbie vowed to “listen” to the people. “Letting the people know and feel confident that their issues and their voice have been heard,” she said. “To be more open and honest about what is happening in our City and to stop pretending that in Chilliwack C doesn’t have the ha s a m e issues as is any an other City and to acknowledge them and be proactive in dealing with these issues.” Being approachable was Chris Kloot’s idea, adding: “I want people to feel they matter, because they do! I want to hear people’s visions, dreams and wants for this community.” Incumbent Sue Attrill praised the amazing staff team, with a wealth of knowledge and experience, and they were part of her idea. “I would like to see monthly seminars offered to the public on any number of topics. It can sometimes be difficult for citizens to understand our zoning for example.”

Candidate Dick Harrington said the answer is a city-run Wi-Fi network for the community, patterned after one in Fredericton, NB that began in 1998, with an initial investment of $65,000. “That investment was paid back in full. The non-profit agency that runs it is owned by the city, with the city being the sole shareholder. The taxpayer contributes nothing into the costs. “We need such a service for Chilliwack and I will push for this when I get elected to Council,” said Harrington. “Let’s work together to make Chilliwack the Internet capital of British Columbia.” For candidate Sam Waddington it’s bolstering tourism. “We have an opportunity to build a tourism industry here that reflects our position in the Fraser Valley as the best place to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors. If we capitalize on this opportunity there are vast economic benefits that await us in this sector, and tourism could feasibly become a cornerstone to Chilliwack’s economy in the years to come.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Fraser Health’s Chief Medical Health Officer Dr. Paul Van Buynder has left Canada to return to his native Australia. Van Buynder had been prominent in several health-related issues. He appeared before an angry Chilliwack crowd when Fraser Health ordered the city to begin chlorinating its water. As chief medical health officer, he also repeatedly urged Port Metro Vancouver to conduct a full health impact assessment into the risks from coal dust and other impacts from a proposal for a coal transfer terminal in Surrey that would see more coal trains move through White Rock and South Surrey, and send barges down the Fraser River. He criticized the research that was carried out ahead of the port’s decision to approve the project. Dr. Victoria Lee is serving as interim chief medical health officer while the health region searches for a replacement. Van Buynder came to B.C. from New Brunswick, where he held a senior public health post. He’s now living in Gold Coast, southeastern Australia.

DENTAL IMPLANTS The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the implant. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.

Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. these metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes.

Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.

pen again.” It was not the content of the protest, it was the timing and the location, and veterans and soldiers were upset by it, according to one online poster. “I’m not saying that the protest or demonstration was wrong - just the timing and location of it,” he wrote, addressing the group directly. “Please in future be thoughtful towards oth-

ers as well. “And if you think that you didn’t cause much disturbance, you should have been flies on the walls in the local service clubs, ie. ANAVETS, Royal Canadian Legion, Army and Navy club the people there were shocked and very disappointed in the lack of respect for the soldiers/ veterans.”

Getting the event posted on the city’s online events’ page, led them to believe they had permission for the display, said Schouten, who spoke to The Progress Monday. The flags were gone by 1 p.m. Saturday afternoon. RCMP attended the downtown location near the Museum after getting calls saying the protest did not have a permit. City of Chilliwack officials have stated in response, due to the misunderstanding, they will not fine the group ultimately. Placing flags on the civic property without permission is considered a contravention of the Parks, Recreation and Culture Bylaw. Under this bylaw, the group would need to obtain written approval. Placing a flag or sign in contravention of this bylaw typically carries a penalty of $100 per sign. “When Operations staff inspected the prop-

erty on Saturday afternoon it was free from garbage, flags and damage,” stated City of Chilliwack communications official Jamie Leggatt. “From what we understand the group did not impede traffic or movement into the Museum.” “Due to the misunderstanding City staff will not fine the organizers and will look into ways to ensure this type of confusion does not hap-

A Chilliwack RCMP officer fired one shot at a fleeing car thief last week, but was unable to make him stop. Police are now searching for two men who they say stole a 1981 Porsche and led the RCMP on a wild chase through the community. The incident began at around 2:20 p.m. on Thursday when police identified a car that had been featured on the RCMP’s daily stolen vehicle list. An unmarked police vehicle was able to get close enough to obtain a licence plate number from the car and confirm it was indeed stolen. Police converged on the area of Chilliwack River Road and McGuire Road where the vehicle was last seen traveling at a high rate of speed. The vehicle stopped at a roadblock on McGuire Road. But when a police officer approached it, it allegedly drove at the police officer, who fired his service pistol once towards the driver. The vehicle then fled the area. The member involved was not injured. The Porsche then drove over a spike belt that had been deployed on Knight Road, but didn’t stop. Police lost sight of the vehicle, which was recovered shortly thereafter unoccupied on Loring Avenue. Witnesses in the area told police that they saw two males running from the stolen Porsche. Witnesses state they did not appear to be injured. Members of the Chilliwack RCMP, Chilliwack RCMP’s

Pointsof View

The Chilliwack Progress is published by Black Press Group Ltd., every Wednesday and Friday at 45860 Spadina Ave., Chilliwack. The Progress is a member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association, British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspaper Association and B.C. Press Council.

Where the smart money is Chilliwack council candidates were asked last week what they would do to encourage economic growth in the community. Their responses were interesting. (You can find them in our Q&A section under the Election 2014 tab at www. theprogress.com.) But what was more interesting was what they didn’t say. None of the 17 candidates mentioned education as a potential economic driver for Chilliwack. That’s curious because a knowledgebased economy offers high-paying careers, it’s clean, and it delivers a multitude of spinoff benefits. And, we’ve got a head start. Chilliwack is home to Canada Education Park – a sprawling 200-acre campus that already has some pretty impressive tenants. The University of the Fraser Valley, the Justice Institute of BC, Canada Border Services and the RCMP all have a home there. But the park is far from complete. UFV alone has a 30-year buildout plan that will eventually bring 7,000 full-time equivalent students to Chilliwack. That’s a 350 per cent increase from current levels. The Pacific Regional Training Centre, meanwhile, is already drawing global attention for what it does. On any given

day there could be as many as 350 people on site, either teaching the latest in public safety, or learning from skilled and highly trained educators. The overall payroll is around $8.5 million. Currently under construction is a new state-of-the-art indoor firing range that represents an investment of nearly $19 million. And there’s more to come: Overall student population at Canada Education Park is expected to climb to 18,470 students by 2020. Making that happen will take talented trades people to build new facilities, instructors and support staff to deliver programs, and off-site businesses to provide everything from meals and accommodations, to supplies. But it will also take political support. We cannot assume the park will reach its full potential if local government is apathetic or uncommitted. Knowledge-based economies are the key to future growth. In an increasingly complex world, education and training are critical to success. Chilliwack has the opportunity to deliver those skills. But we need a local government that not only understands the importance of that potential, but has an unrelenting drive and vision to make it happen. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

B.C. V IEWS

More hot gas spewed from legislature VICTORIA – The climate debate, which all left-thinking people insist is over, has erupted in the B.C. legislature over our nascent liquefied natural gas industry. Chilliwack-Hope B.C. Liberal MLA Laurie Throness heated things up by announcing that he’s “agnostic” on the subject of human-caused global warming. The religious terminology is intentional, he said, because this is how climate change is currently discussed – deniers, believers and so on. Throness mentioned the inflated elephant in the room, 18 years with little or no average global surface temperature rise, even as greenhouse gas emissions keep rising around the world. Needless to say, Green Party MLA and climate scientist Andrew Weaver was aghast at this her-

esy. And NDP MLAs lined up behind former Sierra Club high priest George Heyman to ridicule Throness, inadvertently proving his point about their rather nasty religious zeal. I’m also skeptical on global warming, as regular readers will know, and so are many voting adults Tom FLETCHER in Canada and elsewhere. And I agree with Throness’ main point that B.C. shouldn’t sacrifice its energy economy while the jury is still out. Most politicians who presume to decide the fate of this vital and threatened industry have at best visited a well or plant site, and media information about the industry is often from question-

able protesters. So today I’d like to provide some background on the natural gas industry, as someone who grew up with it and worked in it in northeastern B.C. Natural gas is mostly methane, the main ingredient in farts. It is many times more potent than carbon dioxide as a heat-trapping gas in the atmosphere, which is one reason it is often flared rather than vented if it isn’t captured for use as fuel. Raw natural gas may contain carbon dioxide, a key plant food and component of exhaled breath that has been rebranded as pollution. Gas from the Horn River Basin, one of B.C.’s largest deep shale formations, contains 10 per cent or more CO2, more than conventional gas. B.C.’s most lucrative gas field is the Montney shale around Fort St. John, which contains nearly CO2-

free gas as well as light petroleum liquids. (This is similar to the Bakken shale in North Dakota, where American roughnecks continue to burn off vast amounts of gas to get at the more valuable light liquids. Oddly, President Barack Obama and former Canadian singer Neil Young don’t notice this.) Weaver and the NDP are correct in their main objection, which is that the B.C. government’s new limits on CO2 from LNG production are a sham. As much as 70 per cent of the total greenhouse gas emissions from the gas industry occur before the LNG stage, which is the only thing the new rules regulate. CO2 that comes up with gas is extracted and vented. A government-subsidized pilot project to capture and store CO2 at Spectra Energy’s operations at

Fort Nelson seems to be going nowhere. Restricting LNG-related emissions is mostly a cosmetic gesture. Environment Minister Mary Polak correctly notes that gas producers pay carbon tax. Yes, but only on the fuel they use, not “process emissions” such as flaring. Big LNG proponents plan to burn more gas to compress and cool LNG, and their greenhouse gas emissions beyond a certain limit will force them to buy carbon offsets or pay into a technology fund. If LNG investment isn’t scared away by protests and piled-on taxes, it surely means B.C.’s greenhouse gas reduction targets are history. The question now is how much that actually matters.

Gas prices draw suspicion Those who set and manipulate our gasoline prices are as crooked as pigs’ tails. You know it, I know it — everyone knows it. However, I guess I should say “appear” to be as crooked as pigs’ tails to avoid lawsuits because as Marc Antony said about the Roman senators who bumped off Julius Caesar: “For they are all honourable men.” If you have been on this planet over the past few weeks you know that oil prices are in freefall with no end in sight. If you have seen what you’re paying at the gasoline pumps here in good old Chilliwack over a couple of weeks you will have seen the price drop to 110.9 before leaping back to 118.9 for a week then dropping again to 112.9 then regurgitation back up to 118.9. But the price of oil is still dropping. Am I missing something here? Once upon a time we were told by “those who know about these

things” (slight sarcasm there) that gasoline prices would come down as oil prices dropped but they would have to wait until the tanks were emptied of the higher priced stuff. That rationale seems more like a fairy tale gone bad. In fact we haven’t even heard about the link between oil and gas for months if not a couple of years. And the reason we get now? Nothing, silence, zipped lips. Just like a sign that hung in my office when I was gainfully (sort of) employed: “Reason? There is no reason. It’s company policy!” We’re being duped, gulled, misled, deceived, ripped off —pick your own synonym for being lied to. Mind you, perhaps I’m being a bit harsh. After all, no one from the oil or gasoline industry nor, of course, government, has even bothered to give a reason for the six cent jumps per litre every once in a while. A cone of silence has descend-

ed over those who determine these things. Could it possibly be because they are all vacuuming huge profits from our pockets. When we pay more they make more. And after all, isn’t it our role in life to give these captains (or colonels) of industry and our political masters a better life with high salaries, stupidly astronomical bonuses and pensions that go beyond the pale? Fascinating the prices all rise and fall the same day. Not that it’s a monopoly of course, because, as we know, monopolies are illegal, and after all, “they are all honourable men.” No reason for what they’re doing except greed. Plus the fact that we polite, forelock tugging Canadians accept it with a shrug of the shoulders, a sigh, and a quiet little “what can you do?” Which means nothing will change.

AND OUR MAJOR IN-KIND SUPPORTERS:

Hockey too expensive for families I just watched a commercial where a young boy was looking for a job to play hockey. When I was a youth it was a burden for my parents for my brothers and I to play hockey, but we made it.

When my son was young it was expensive, but fortunately our income was such that we could afford it. How do people of moderate incomes pay for their children to play? Are not the arenas owned by the city

or province? Why are our taxes that pay for these things not used to alleviate the costs to the people? Whatever happened to that saying “No child left behind?” If the kids didn’t play hockey the city

would have excellent buildings to store their trucks and the kids would be on the street doing who knows what. I just don’t know anymore. Scott H. Wallis Chilliwack

Stand up for marine conservation area I would like to invite those running for local elections to consider supporting the federal/BC proposal for a southern Strait of Georgia National Marine Conservation Area. In 2010 the Union of BC Municipalities passed a motion urging senior levels of government to declare this NMCA for the region’s benefit. To our shame Canada, with the longest coastline in the world, has only managed to protect one per cent of our marine areas. We can and should do better, starting right here.

I would urge you then to get behind this National Marine Conser vation Area designation, not only because it is the responsible thing to do but because it is part of managing the larger region for the common interest of all British Columbians and Canadians. The building blocks of a strong economy, resilient fisheries, and diverse coastal communities could be put in place and sustained by supporting this NMCA proposal. Any way you look at it, it’s time to protect and revitalize the coastal

waters and shores of the inner Salish Sea. As leaders in our communities I encourage you to take a strong stand and to voice your support for a southern Strait of Georgia National Marine Conser vation Area. And I would also invite all residents of our region to ask their candidates about marine and coastal protection, and how this will further jobs and economic benefits for us all.

The Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;voice of businessâ&#x20AC;? and October was Small Business Month. Did you know there are approximately $382,000 businesses in BC, and about 98% are considered â&#x20AC;&#x153;Small Businessâ&#x20AC;? (fewer than 50 employees)? These Small Businesses employ almost 1.1Million people. The Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters (CME) also designated October as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Manufacturing Month.â&#x20AC;? We celebrated our local manufacturers by hosting , for the very first time in Chilliwack, a Manufacturing Tour in conjunction with CME. Mayor Sharon Gaetz welcomed everyone and sent us off to what promised to be a great day. We left from City Hall with a full bus and visited Tycrop, IMW, had lunch at UFV Trades & Technology Centre followed by a tour through this amazing facility, and after lunch we visited Ironside and Soprema. We were all blown away by the quality of our local manufacturing facilities. They are all producing

innovative products for both national, and many international markets. It truly was an eye opening experience and we want to thank all of them for this great opportunity to look inside â&#x20AC;&#x153;the kitchenâ&#x20AC;? of our local manufacturers. Of course we all know there is a municipal election on November 15, and we want to encourage everyone to get out and vote! Our All Council Candidates Luncheon last week was so well attended that we ran out of space. In order to give more people the opportunity to get to know the Candidates, we will be hosting another All Candidates Meeting in partnership with the Downtown Chilliwack BIA, and sponsored by the City of Chilliwack. The event will be at the Cultural Centre on Corbould Street; Monday, November 10th. Doors open at 6:30pm and we will begin promptly at 7:00pm. Upon arrival, you will be given the opportunity to submit your questions for the Candidates; we will compile them and our moderator will give the candidates

the opportunity to answer your questions. We will also host a Mayoral candidates meeting, in partnership with the Canadian Home Builders Association, on Thursday November 6th at the Hampton Inn. Doors open at 6:30, debate starts at 7:00PM. Space is limited, so please register through our website. For this event, we will be taking questions from the floor. Thank you to everyone who nominated a business, or business person, to receive an award at the 20th Annual Business Excellence Awards; to be held on January 31, 2015 at Tzeachten Hall. Nominations are now closed with 105 different nominations in; choosing the winners in the 13 categories will not be an easy task for our judges. This even sold out quickly last year, so if you would like to attend this ``Roaring Twenties Galaâ&#x20AC;? you can purchase tickets immediately through the Chamber website.

Feinberg

Matt Lowen performs tunes from his new CD Last Year’s Leaves at a release party at Tractorgrease Café on Nov. 8. LEIGH CULPIN PHOTO

Matt Lowen takes his music to new heights Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Singer-songwriter Matt Lowen’s explores some poignant territory on his brand-new CD, Last Year’s Leaves. The CD release party is at Tractorgrease Café on Chilliwack Lake Road on Saturday, Nov. 8. Lowen says the music is a “blend of zen, bluegrass and americana,” and it took almost two years to write. The album was recorded at Spiderlodge Studios in Chilliwack last summer. “It’s the music of change, of transition, of life as we live it,” he wrote, adding growth and change were major themes. The CD is overflowing with “an abundance of image & song as it explores the cyclical nature of growth & decay, love & loss, and life & death.”

Lowen penned 50 tunes, mostly in his home studio, and then winnowed them down to seven for the album. “I tried to make it as precise and spare as possible.” The CSS grad said he used “Occam’s Razor” to take out everything unnecessary in the writing stage. The recording turned out to be an organic and enjoyable labour of love when they laid down tracks at Spiderlodge, in the shadow of Little Mountain in Chilliwack. “From the hummingbirds buzzing over our heads in the afternoons, to the dogs curled up beneath our feet in the evenings, to the moon shining through the window as it rose over Mt. Cheam, the record began to reflect the natural setting it was born out of,” Lowen said. A road trip out of Idaho brought friends and musicians, Renee and Jason Homey, to to lay down the fiddle track

on ‘Never Goodbye.’ It was Genge on guitar, dobro, and bass, and Lowen on piano, mandolin, banjo, harmonica, and guitar. “We have kind of a system and can play almost every instrument,” Lowen offered. There’s an old-world sensibility to the acoustic recording, but delivered with a fresh, contemporary edge. Lowen says it’s “kind of like Bluegrass in a graveyard on a Thursday afternoon.” For the CD party on Nov. 8, the Spiderlodge trio will open the show with Rick Genge, Lori Paul and Clay Thornton. Lowen’s dad, Brian Lowen, will be on bass. “I usually play alone, so it’s nice to have a band for that night.” It was an adventure shooting the music video, with Leigh Culpin, who

also did his cover art. They filmed some of it in the lower bowl section of Mt. Cheam, but then hiked up to the top, with backpacks and headlamps, to get the iconic sunset shots. Lowen ended up heading down the mountain, racing the sun, which was setting quickly. “It was quite a day.” The shots were incredible. “But I was freezing to death. We filmed the last shots as the sun went down, which is cool, but now it’s dark and we’re on a mountain. So I pretty much had to run back down.” The police were waiting at the bottom, since he hadn’t managed to return home by sunset as promised. But at least they were all safe. “I guess necessity was the mother of fitness in this case. “I didn’t want to spend the night on the mountain. So that ended a day of suffering and enlightenment.”

I’ve lived in Chilliwack for many years and I’d love the opportunity to share my enthusiasm for the area with you.

Buying Real Estate and the Internet! The Internet has produced great changes in the real estate business. Prospective buyers in Chilliwack can surf the web for a home in their community or another province in the privacy of their home. Will the Internet ever replace the services of a professional REALTOR®? The answer to that question is “never!’’ Consumers that are Internet savvy can now do a lot of their own leg work before they hire a professional to assist them. REALTORS® advertising their listings often include a website or an MLS number which potential purchasers can use to access video tours, view more photos and additional information on their listings through the internet. This certainly can help you refine your prospect list to include or exclude homes, however although some may say “a picture is worth a 1000 words”, photos or videos cannot convey the emotional or physical experience obtained by a personal viewing with your REALTOR®. All that being said, another reason why the Internet will never make REALTORS® obsolete is that REALTORS® provide indispensable services to their clients. They help sellers prepare their home for sale, network with other REALTORS® to match buyers and sellers, educate clients about the local market trends, help them negotiate the best deal, assist them in securing financing, schedule inspections and coordinate the closing with all the key players. One of the REALTOR’S® most important responsibilities is to guide the buyer or seller through the maze of legal forms that are required for the purchase or sale of a home. All of these services need special and personalized attention.

A Total COMMITMENT to Your Goals Buying or selling a home is a monumental process that deserves a total commitment from your real estate professional. Ed Fitzgerald couldn’t agree more. That’s why Ed pours his heart into every transaction he conducts, he understands that your home is not only your most important investment, but also where you and your family create memories that will last a lifetime. Let Ed help make the most of your next move. Call him today to schedule a private consultation.

The personal attention you get when using a REALTOR® can never be replaced by a web page. Many changes can occur in a real estate transaction. This is where having a professional to handle the sale of your home makes a big difference. Real estate professionals view such changes as challenges, rather than problems. Many potential problems are predictable, but their consequences can be minimized by anticipating them. REALTORS® draw on their experience and the experience of their colleagues to ensure a successful closing for the buyers and sellers. Today’s successful real estate agent is a multi-faceted professional who is computer savvy, a marketing innovator, a skilled negotiator, and a good communicator. REALTORS® must also have high ethical standards, dedication, and patience to work well with people in stressful situations. Real estate is still a people-oriented business where personal contact cannot be replaced with a web page.

Steve Lerigny, Executive Officer, CADREB / Jake Siemens, President, CADREB

Working in the financial industry for 25 years has opened many doors for me as a REALTOR® with my past/present clients and friends. As a resident and professional living in the Chilliwack area since 1987, I have always believed in going the extra mile for my customers. Both honest, ethical and hard working, you can count on me for none other than friendly and efficient service. For those who I am acquainted and those I have yet to be... allow my enthusiasm and zeal to work for you. With me “SERVICE IS KEY”. Whether considering your first or last home, upsizing or downsizing lets make your dreams come true together. Dependably Yours, Laura

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey. I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here. So I feel like I’m well qualified to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

The Chilliwack Rotary Club encourages camaraderie in a unique, non-verbal way: The Rotations, the Club’s resident musical combo, is a permanent ingredient of every Friday Rotary Lunch meeting, providing an ambience that encourages fellowship and interaction between club members and guests. Joanne Hankey, who plays keyboard with The Rotations, feels the music that she and her fellow musicians provide turns those meetings into events - a significant distinction. Music is a great relaxant and equalizer, allowing attendees to reach out and get to know each other. Music crosses boundaries and encourages connectedness. It is universal and causes people to smile. Arriving Rotarians and their guests are met each Friday not only by Rotary greeters but by a pleasant background of musical accompaniment. The group, however, is not limited to providing background music: Each Friday lunch meeting features a singalong period, where everyone is encouraged to join in and sing a medley of songs for which The Rotations provide accompaniment. The composition of the group is relatively fluid, often featuring guest performers, as is the eclectic musical content: featuring popular fare, Jazz, and old favourites. However, there is a core of regular musicians who have formed the backbone of the group for many years. The Chilliwack Rotary Club is fortunate to contain such an accomplished group of performers. And their service through music to their fellow Rotarians reflects the values contained in the Rotary Service Above Self motto and the philanthropic service provided locally and internationally by our organization. If you are interested in exploring the concept of Service Above Self, in a convivial setting with like-minded individuals, we would be pleased to hear from you.

What is Urinary Incontinence?

What can be done?

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine and/or fecal matter. It is a common and distressing condition that adversely affects an individual’s quality of life. It is often associated with changes in the pelvic floor muscles and affects women more often than men. Some of the contributing factors in women are childbirth and menopause. Men can experience incontinence after prostate surgery or radiation. There is an increased risk of becoming incontinent with age but incontinence can affect individuals of all ages and it is not a normal nor acceptable part of aging.

Despite very effective advertising regarding “Light Bladder Leakage” or “LBL”, there are other solutions besides wearing a pad to absorb the leakage. Pelvic floor therapy can help 80% of individuals with incontinence. It consists of more than just standard Kegel exercises. Research has shown that 75% of individuals are doing their Kegel exercises incorrectly and other factors such as proper core stability in the abdominal muscles can impact the functioning of the pelvic floor. I use Real-Time Ultrasound Imaging (RTUS) to visualize the muscles of the abdomen and pelvis as they contract and help you maximize the function of both muscle groups. RTUS helps you see exactly what you are contracting so that you can improve your muscle function and control incontinence. Early treatment of incontinence can also help to prevent conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse where the bladder, uterus or rectum drops and may require surgery.

What is the cause?

“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 improvement in their symptoms.

Urinary incontinence is not a disease but a symptom. It can be caused by everyday habits and life events. In most cases, incontinence results from weakened or ineffective pelvic floor muscles. These muscles weaken with pregnancy, childbirth, age, menopause and hysterectomy in women, enlarged prostate or prostate cancer along with age in men. Other risk factors include chronic constipation with straining, heavy repetitive work and aggressive fitness programs that include high impact and/or heavy weight lifting.

Free Public Information Session - November 18, 2014 @ 7 p.m. at the Leisure Centre Clinic Learn more about incontinence, contributing factors, current research and treatment options as well as the resources Fraser Valley Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Centre has to offer. A demonstration of RTUS will be done. Limited seating is available. Please call the Sardis Clinic to reserve your seat at 604-824-0001.

What are the symptoms? There are 3 types of incontinence. Stress incontinence is involuntary loss of urine when you laugh, sneeze, run, change position or exert physical effort. Many individuals report that it is late in their run when they experience stress incontinence. Urge incontinence results in difficulty getting to the bathroom in time and/or a feeling of having to get to the bathroom right away with little output once there or a frequent need to urinate. Mixed incontinence is a mixture of stress and urge incontinence.

HUB International Theatre plays host to the King of Canadian radio — R ed Robinson, living legend and one of Vancouver’s first-ever rock and roll DJs.

Mammas and Michael Sicoly will bring the well-loved works of The Andrews Sisters, The Beatles, Dean Martin, Louis Armstrong, and Darlene Love to life— amongst so many more! “It’s a really nostalgic trip into the past and how things used to be,” Red says. “But we don’t rot in a rut with it— we add flavour to it and update it. As I used to do with my radio show, and still do, I try to pick things that will be recognized by the audience.” This stroll down musical memory lane is bound to spark more than a few fond remembrances in the audience—not to mention in Rick and Red. The pair will share their memories of watching radio grow and evolve over the last sixty years, and there’s no shortage of stories to go around. After all, Red started spinning hits on Vancouver’s CJOR while still in high school, and introduced both The Beatles and Elvis as well as a host of Canadian rockers such as Randy Bachman, Terry Jacks, and The Collectors. “I’m old enough that I was around when radio was king,” Red says. “We’re tuning into the past. It’s a time machine.” “We only do this show a couple of times a year,” he continues. “We’re all working professionally, so it’s hard to put this on more than three or four times a year—max. And this show in Chilliwack is the first time we’re taking it out of town! You’re going to say, ‘Why in the heck haven’t I seen it before!’” And the best part is bound to surprise—a handful of “commercial breaks” sprinkled throughout the show bring vintage commercials back to life, with hilarious results. Get your tickets today by calling the box office at 604-392-SHOW (7469) or online at chilliwackculturalcentre. ca! Tickets are $35 for adults, $30 for students, and $32 for seniors. This show has sold out seven times since it hit the stage, so don’t miss out on the experience in its inaugural Chilliwack visit.

She started working on the arrangements immediately after the auditions in June and has just recently finished the last one. It took hours. But she loved it.

GET GEARED UP! One of the major fundraisers that keeps volunteer safety personnel operating on local mountains occurs Nov. 15-16 in Abbotsford. The annual Canadian Ski Patrol's (CSP) Winter Extreme Ski Show and Swap sees about 10,000 pieces of ski and snowboard equipment valued at approximately $1 million on consignment at the Ag-Rec building, selling for significant savings over new, said Denis Dion, swap manager. "You can completely outfit yourself or your family members for under $100," he said. Everything from boots to boards will be on hand, and each piece is safety inspected. Any helmets for sale are brand new. "We have extreme selection and extreme pricing." Nearly 95 per cent of the equipment is still new – just last year's models. "We don't know exactly how much we'll be getting until the

Friday November,

7–9 pm - Public

vendors show up," he added. The swap has been running since the late 1970s, said Dion, who took on the event chair position in 1994. From its humble beginnings in a church basement, the swap grew and needed more space. They went from the basement to an auditorium, then Tradex and now the Ag-Rec building. Between the Abbotsford event, and a similar one in Vancouver, these fundraisers generate enough money – about $100,000 – to keep CSP volunteers on the slopes in locales such as Hemlock, Manning and Seymour, where they are often the first responders to anyone who has a mishap while skiing inbounds. Any off-the-trail emergencies are handled by search and rescue teams. CSP funds its own first aid and avalanche training, and members pay to be a part of

the organization. All proceeds from the swap support CSP. Public consignment drop-off happens Nov. 14 from 7 pm to 9 pm, and the show is open from 9 am to 5 pm Nov. 15, and 10 am to 3 pm Nov. 16. Cheques for public consignment gear sold will be

Community

The smart choice for a safe ride home: Operation Red Nose Operation Red Nose is gearing up with the help of dedicated volunteers to make the roads safer in Chilliwack this holiday season. From Nov. 28 to Dec. 31, 2014, the red vested

volunteers will be on the road to help people who feel unable to drive home safely in their own car. The Kiwanis Club of Sardis is coordinating the service again

this year, with the help of volunteers from the community. The service is by donation and 100 per cent of the funds are turned over to local youth and amateur sports organizations.

Each year, Operation Red Nose clients contribute $ 1.5 million to youth initiatives, from coast to coast. This year Operation Red Nose is operating its 31st campaign in

Canada, and its 11th year in Chilliwack. This year’s campaign theme, “This Season, Hand the Reins Over to Us,” encourages motorists who had one too many, who are tired, or

who are simply not able to drive their vehicle to call Operation Red Nose. Last year, the service provided almost 700 safe rides home in Chilliwack, and over 56,000 volunteers pro-

vided over 80,000 rides in communities across Canada. During this year’s campaign, the Operation Red Nose volunteers, headquartered in downtown Chilliwack, will be taking calls from party-goers with one goal in mind: to make roads and highways safer for everyone. The Operation Red Nose service is free, and is entirely provided by volunteers, and donations are always accepted. Operation Red Nose counts on its numerous volunteers to provide safe rides to Canadian motorists during the month of December. Whether it is for one evening or for nine, for a couple of hours or for an entire night, Red Nose volunteers can choose the duration of their participation, whether they choose to volunteer on the road or at the local headquarters. It’s never too late to fill a volunteer application form. Last year, almost 5,000 volunteers in British Columbia came out to enjoy a fun evening driving people home safely. People brought along their co-workers, friends and family. Teams of three include a designated driver of the client vehicle, a navigator to support the driver, and a second driver who trails them with an escort vehicle. The client never leaves their own vehicle. With the 2014 Operation Red Nose campaign set to start on Nov. 28, anyone interested in volunteering can pick up an application form from the RCMP Detachment on Airport Road in Chilliwack. You can also get information and an application form on the Operation Red Nose national website, https://operationnezrouge.com/ en. Volunteers fill out an application which includes a criminal record check. Returning volunteers must fill in a new application form each year. More information is available by emailing chilliwack@ operationrednose.com. Operation Red Nose phone lines will be open from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, Nov. 28, 29, Dec. 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20, and on New Year’s Eve, Wed., Dec. 31, by calling 604-3933000.

Young Falcons impress Tanner Geary led a youthful Sardis secondary school senior boys’ cross-country team to a 10th place finish at last weekend’s provincials. The year end race was held Saturday on a trail surrounding Victoria’s Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre. The Falcons sent a team of seven, only one of them (Santana McKay) a Grade 12 athlete. Geary, who is in Grade 11, led the crew with a time of 22:26.60, the 15th best individual mark. Kristian Biela was next, finishing 40th with a time of 24:02.30. Logan Clegg finished 48th at 24:25.06. Keegan Schram-Smith finished 70th at 25:09.25. Riley Clemons finished 109th at 26:52.25. McKay finished 121st at 27:39.50 and Keegan Lightle finished 141st at 29:29.90. The placings of the top five Falcons added up to 282 points, eight ahead of 11th place Penticton and 16 points behind ninth place West Vancouver. The overall winner, Nanaimo’s Dover Bay, placed all five of their qualifiers inside the top 11, accumulating 37 points. Dover Bay’s margin of victory over sec-

ond place Claremont (Victoria) was an astounding 109 points. Vancouver’s St. George’s School was third. Two local schools were represented in the senior girls’ bracket. Sardis finished 16th in the field of 22 teams, led by Caitlin LeBlanc. LeBlanc had the 18th fastest individual time, clocking in at 17:05.95. But the next fastest Falcon was well back. Lauren Kean placed 76th at 19:26.25 and the rest of the team — Kiana Olafson, Sofia Biela and Anna MacKenzie — was outside the top 100. Chilliwack secondary school’s team finished 22nd overall, led by Kaitlyn Lindhout. Lindhout was the lone CSS runner inside the top 100, placing 65th at 18:55.84. Kalyn Head was 119th at 21:26.09. Jordyn Downey was 129th at 22:29.64. Katie Sanchez was 135th at 23:16.46 and Kana Kobayashi was 139th at 23:45.37. West Point Grey Academy was the first place finisher on the senior girls’ side, followed by Sentinel (West Vancouver) and Semiahmoo. Find full results at bcxc.ca/results2014. html

Chiefs face first adversity For the first time this season, the BCHL’s Chilliwack Chiefs find themselves in a bit of a slump. Back to back losses to Alberni Valley (4-2) and the Merritt Centennials (6-2) provide a test of character for a team that has had just about everything go right so far. Head coach Jason Tatarnic is eager to see how his boys respond as they head into a weekend home-and-home versus Langley. “Adversity is not a bad thing, and being challenged is always a good thing,” the bench boss said. Injuries are the biggest challenge Tatarnic faces, juggling his lineup

to account for the walking wounded. Since losing defencemen Olivier Arseneau and Mark Esposito and forward Rory Bell to injury, the team has dressed a series of youthful call-ups. While 15 and 16 year old kids like Kohen Olischefski, Darren Rizzolo, Jesse Lansdell and Jarret Tsyzka have fared well in relief, there’s no doubt Tatarnic prefers a healthy lineup. “We should have Esposito and Brandon Potomak back, but will they be in 100 per cent game shape?” Tatarnic asked. “Probably not. But they will get thrown back into the fire and away they go.” One thing Tatarnic will

emphasize in this week’s team meetings is discipline. Merritt broke open a 3-2 game with three third period goals, helped by a Chiefs penalty parade. Referees Mike Langin and Kevin Crowell dished out 17 power plays, seven for Chilliwack and 10 for the Cents. “I thought we played a real good first period, but the amount of penalties from that point on took away the flow of the game and disrupted our forecheck and pressure,” Tatarnic said. “We’re not allowed to comment on the performance of officials, but put it this way. I wasn’t happy with the game.” The Chiefs host Langley Saturday at 7 p.m.

Thiessen teeing off in China A fundraiser will be held Friday at the Chilliwack Golf Club to help Mitchell Thiessen tee off in China. The junior club member recently secured a spot with the Canadian Junior Golf Association’s Team Canada squad. Thiessen will join the team on a trip to Guangdong. From Nov. 15 to 24 he’ll be golfing in the Aaron Baddeley International

Junior Championship, one of the leading junior tournaments in the world. A trip to China is expensive. Thiessen’s fundraiser will be held at the 19th Hole Lounge, starting at 6 p.m. Tickets are $12 apiece, good for a hamburger (or chicken-burger) plus fries. Tickets can be bought at the Pro Shop.

Thiessen caught the eyes of the CJGA at a tournament last month in Pitt Meadows. The teenager carded his best ever two-day score, shooting 72-69 to take the title. To help Thiessen in any way, email Dwayne and Kelly Thiessen at Dwayne@lltcga. com or phone 604-795-7299. Aaron Baddeley tourney info can be found online at abijc.com

Brett Westad helped his GW Graham Grizzlies secure a varsity playoff spot with a 38-22 win over Robert Bateman. RICK MACDONALD PHOTO

The GW Graham Grizzlies are heading to the playoffs for the first time at the varsity level. GWG secured their first postseason berth last Friday, trouncing the Robert Bateman Timberwolves 38-22 to finish the regular season slate 3-3. Nailing down fourth place in the Eastern conference standings has them hitting the road for the playoffs. The Grizzlies will face a tough test Nov. 14 when they face the top seed in the Southern conference, Richmond’s Hugh Boyd Trojans (4-0).

Energy efficiency. Good for smaller footprints.

The Grizzlies will have a chance if their playmakers keep making plays. Tailback Brett Westad continued his torrid season in the finale, rushing 27 times for 213 yards and two touchdowns. That earned him BC High School Player of the Week honours. Treyvon Walsh was a two-way force against the T-Wolves. Walsh returned a kick for one major, and returned an interception 74 yards for another. Defensive end Josh Lecher was nearly unblockable, delivering constant pressure and dropping the Robert Bateman quarterback twice. ● The junior varsity Grizzlies capped off their regular season schedule last Thursday with a 33-6 homefield win over the Pitt Meadows Marauders. GWG won its last two games to finish 6-2, fourth in the Valley division. They will play a playoff game, though the who and when is yet to be decided. Coach Adam Smith expects a home game next Friday at Exhibition Stadium.
