Happy trails: World class potential seen in local hillsides Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Picture a vast network of trails snaking through the hillsides above Chilliwack. That’s the vision of a new group formed to advocate for better parks and trails in Chilliwack, said Marc Greidanus, one of the founders of the Chilliwack Park Society. “Our first big project is the p facilitation of fa a trail system Chilliwack the Eastern residents from above Hillsides,” he said. So far they’ve Popkum to had talks with Promontory City of Chilliwack, and will be able to FVRD Ministr y of leave the car Forests, and local in the garage, outdoor-oriented walk out their groups. The basic front door and idea is to build multi-use trail embark on asystem, connectanything from ing Bridal Falls Park, an hour jog, Provincial to the Chilliwack to a multi-day C o m m u n i t y above Allan alpine hike, Forest Road, eventually connecting to ~ Marc the Elk-Thurston Greidanus saddle and Ryder Lake. The trails would be for hiking, running, mountain biking and horseback riding, and would dovetail with new development eyed for the eastern hillsides. City of Chilliwack has a long-term plan for trails in the area, which are connected to potential development cells in the hillsides. “If the city follows through on even half of those proposed walking trails, and they connect to our proposed trail system on Crown land, it will create a world-class outdoor network connecting

School trustee candidate Karen Jarvis speaks during Wednesday’s all-candidates meeting at Sardis secondary. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Funding challenges dominate debate Greg Knill The Progress Chilliwack school board candidates faced a variety of questions at the first of two allcandidates meetings at Sardis Secondary Wednesday. But the reoccurring theme was a simple one: Money. Early literacy, special needs, graduation rates, and class size and composition were all tied to the availability of funds – something the school district has limited control over. Speaking to a cluster of parents – and a few rows of empty chairs – the 13 candidates promised to push hard for more funding from government, or do a better job with the dollars they have. There is a fine balance between the money the district

has, said Silvia Dyck, and the needs it must meet. Dyck, hoping for her sixth term on the board, said she is dismayed by the erosion of government support for public education. “I’m concerned that the education system for my grandchildren won’t be as good as the education system was for my children,” she said. Several candidates picked up that theme. John-Henry Harter, seeking to return to the board after a one-term absence, said the board must be more vocal in its advocacy of public education. He said even early literacy is affected by tight budgets that must take funding away from teacher librarians and education support staff and allocate it elsewhere. Asked how much money

the district would need, several candidates echoed the same response: “We will never have enough money to have the kind of education system we want,” said Marion Mussell, who’s seeking her first term on the board. But clearly, said Walt Krahn, a for-mer school prin-cipal looking for a second term, the 2.33 per cent increase in n education funding g over the past few years, is not enough. The district does have some discretion over how it can spend the Learning Fund, which is designed to top up school budgets and address specific needs. That money, said Krahn, should be spent in consultation and collaboration with individual

schools. Because of the tight funds, said incumbent trustee Heather Maahs, every effort must be made to ensure money is being spent efficiently. But should the district seek out corporate dollars to shore up its books? boo Barry Neufeld said, B maybe. Seeking anothmay er tterm on the board, Neufeld said corporate Neu support can be a slipsup slope. “I don’t think it’s pery slope right to use our students as billboards for corporations,” he said. However, there are individual programs like athletics that can benefit from that support. Other candidates were less equivocal.

More bridge tolls urged by BC business council Reform of tolling policy will become ‘urgent’ Jeff Nagel Black Press The tolls that are now charged on the Port Mann and Golden Ears bridges should be extended to other Lower Mainland crossings so motorists are treated more fairly across the region. That’s one of the recommendations from the Business Council of B.C. in a white paper it has released on the need to build much more infrastructure in the province and seek new ways of financing it. It warns TransLink’s plan to toll

a rebuilt Pattullo Bridge in the years ahead may force reform of the current practice of only tolling new or replacement crossings as they are built. “The imposition of a third toll for a Fraser River crossing may be problematic and would exacerbate concerns over intra‐regional equity with respect to the user‐pay principle for transportation services,” the report says. “This makes it more urgent to look to longer‐term and more equitable solutions to tolling and road‐ use fees as a tool to finance transit

and manage road volumes across the region.” Transportation Minister Todd Stone pledged a review of the province’s tolling policy a year ago but has yet to act. The province is also designing a new bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel. Stone hasn’t yet spelled out how he would seek public consent to toll that crossing. Metro Vancouver mayors want to eventually adopt road pricing, which could involve per kilometre fees on major routes rather than just tolls at bridges. They argue such a system could

not only help fund TransLink but allow time-of-day pricing to encourage some drivers to travel at offpeak times and make the entire road system more efficient. The Business Council of B.C. paper also endorses greater use of “peak-pricing models” – including municipal water metering – but it suggests interim bridge tolling reform may be wiser than pursuit of full road pricing. “While road pricing may be the most comprehensive approach to demand management, starting with an expanded tolling network (based on low toll charges) across

the region may be more manageable and politically achievable,” said the report, which is titled Building B.C. for the 21st Century. It says the province should reconsider its policy that bans new tolls when a free alternative is unavailable. Although billions of dollars have gone into port-related gateway infrastructure in recent years, more is needed on that front as well, the report said, adding much funding should come from the federal government, which has more taxation capability than the province.

Poppy maps link Chilliwack past and present Interactive Poppy Project now online Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Soldiers from Chilliwack who laid down their lives in the Great War and Second World War can now be searched online with interactive maps. Welcome to the Poppy Project. The research was undertaken by history major Pierce Smith, as part of a UFV work study program. “For people today, the Poppy Maps create a connection, through geography and history, into the past,” writes Smith in his online introduction to the Poppy Project exhibit. “In this way, we can be linked to the lives of those who sacrificed themselves in two world wars that had such an impact on Canadians in the 20th century.” He started with the 108 names listed on the cenotaph. He spent months tracking down modernday addresses of those listed on the Chilliwack War Memorial behind the Chilliwack Museum. Most of the soldiers lived in Chilliwack before shipping out, but some did not. “Therefore, it is important to keep in mind that some of the names on the Memorial will not appear on the map, because there is no historical record of their presence in Chilliwack,” Smith cautioned. Using everything from Progress articles, tax rolls, census, maps, attestation papers and burial records, Smith plotted out where they lived, and corresponded those locations with current

street addresses as best he could. The Poppy Project built upon previous research on Chilliwack’s War Memorial under taken by Paul Ferguson, accessible on the Chilliwack War Memorial website as well as in the Paul Ferguson files at the Chilliwack Archives. This website was created by the Chilliwack Museum and Archives, the embedded Google map will be maintained by the UFV history department. Several of the actual addresses changed over the decades, as property lots were subdivided into smaller lots, and house addresses changed from 1914 and 1939. But since legal property descriptions of yesteryear can be traced to property descriptions today, even if subdivided into smaller lots, the property area where Chilliwack’s soldiers lived was the same. The unique project links the past with the present. “It brings home the reality of local people who were part of this great national trauma, and locates it on the streets that we ourselves inhabit,” UFV professor Molly Ungar, who was Smith’s project supervisor. She gave the example of Private Orville Hubert Boucher of Chilliwack, who lived with his parents at Brooks Avenue and Elm Drive. He enlisted in February of 1916 and was killed in the Battle of Hill 70, in August of 1917. See more www.chilliwackmuseum.ca/poppy-project/

Police seek info on Wrong-way Charlie on Evans Road Chilliwack RCMP are asking for public help to find a dangerous driver. Around 4:20 a.m. last Friday morning a police officer saw a brown Ford Ranger pulling a trailer southbound on the Eagle Landing Parkway, drifting across the center line as it went. The of ficer turned his car around and followed the truck, which veered sharply into oncoming traffic, then went through the Evans Road roundabout in the wrong direction. The officer turned on its lights and sirens, trying to get the truck to pull over. But as it continued down Evans Road, still in the oncoming lane, it forced another 10 vehicles off the road. Another five were forced to the side on South Sumas Road, at which point the officer decided it was too dangerous to continue. “A suspect has been identified,” said RCMP Cst. Ashley St. Germaine, “we are asking the drivers who were forced off the road to phone the Chilliwack RCMP to provide further information for evidence.” Contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611.

Trustee hopefuls debate TRUSTEE from Front “I strongly believe that corporate should be out of public education,” said Karen Conway, who is trying a second time to get elected. “Public education must be supported by public funds,” said Karen Jarvis. But Rob Stelmaschuk, who’s also trying for a second time, disagreed. “I’ll go for it; Why not?” he asked. “We need it.” He said young people are already inundated with corporate marketing. Provided sufficient safeguards are in place, the money would help. The candidates were also asked if enough was done to support local teachers during

the recent labour dispute. Dyck said the board had few options. “We were kicked out,” she said, referring to negotiations that were eventually limited to the government and the BC Teachers’ Federation. Maahs said the board was in a difficult position. Trustees had little control over the outcome of the dispute. “What we did have power over was how we treated each other.” Candidates were also asked about how well the current board has worked together over the past three years. Ben Besler said the trustees, at times, acted like children fighting in a sandbox. But Dan Coulter, who has only sat on the board since winning

a byelection last year, said the trustees have worked well together. They can still do better, said Paul McManus, who promised to bring his managerial talents, and a passion for an education system his children are still part of, to the board. The lightest part of the evening came when trustees were asked how different the board would be if they were elected to it. “Not that much,” said Martha Weins with a smile. She’s been on the board since 1990.

land development, rejuvenating existing parks and eventually raising money towards the purchase of land for nature trusts or community forest. They’ve discussed the idea with the Chilliwack Trail Society, FVMBA, and the Chilliwack Riding Club, and others.

Forest, between Allan Road and Ruddock Road. The Park Society’s funding is expected to come from fundraising and grants. So who will build all the trails? “Volunteers, friends and people from my church, who have said they are willing to help,” he replied. “The good thing is that people are really on-board with this.” The trails are one aspect of the society’s vision. Parks and green spaces are another. The group’s volunteers will perform tasks like the trail building, helping with park planning prior to

ing valuable flora and fauna. “We aim to collaborate and build partnerships with local government, Chilliwack residents, and others to create sustainable parks in this growing, dynamic, and environmentally diverse area.” They’ve worked hard to establish some early buy-in at various levels of government by purposely taking “a respectful and collaborative” approach, noted Greidanus. If the early section gets built, it could set the stage for the entire network. “After that, over the years we can start adding biking, hiking and equestrian trails,” he said. They could even “hook up Elk and Cheam,” building tent pads in the alpine sections high above Chilliwack. Other groups are working on similar projects in other areas, like the Chilliwack Trail Society in the Chilliwack River Valley, with plans for 13 trails. “It’s time for Chilliwack to fulfill its potential as a worldclass outdoor destination,” Greidanus concluded.

Coupled with trails planned for the eastern hillside region of Chilliwack (above), a network could link regions as far away as Bridal Falls.

from Allan Road to the hanging valley about Elk Falls, and on to the Elk-Thurston saddle, and a through trail to Ryder Lake. Their work will ultimately be aimed at getting more Chilliwackians outdoors, actively exploring their mountainsides, said Greidanus, whose day job is as a local physician at the hospital. The new trails would encourage more physical activity, like the Japanese practice of “shinrin-yoku,” sometimes described as ‘forest bathing’ for reducing stress and improved health. Build-out estimates could see a population of 6,700 people living on Promontory over the coming years, which is part of what’s driving the trails effort. “Chilliwack residents from Popkum to Promontory will be able to leave the car in the garage, walk out their front door and embark on anything from an hour jog, to a multi-day alpine hike,” he said, fleshing out their vision. “It’s more ‘shinrin yoku’ for the citizens of Chilliwack.” City officials have indicated support for the idea of building parking lot near the 50-acre Community

R AESIDE

We will remember Remembrance Day services on Tuesday will likely feel a little different this year. On Oct. 22 Canadians were shocked when a lone gunman ended the life of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo as he stood guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. The gunman, Michael Zehaf-Bibeau then went to the nearby Parliament buildings and the nation held its breath as he stormed in only metres from parliamentarians holding their weekly caucus meetings. The attack happened two days after two other Canadian soldiers were run down in Quebec by another troubled young man. In the days that followed, veterans and cadets took up Cirillo’s watch at their own local cenotaphs. It was their way of thanking the young reservist for his selfless duty that ended up costing him his life. As investigators worked to determine if the two incidents were linked, and perhaps new manifestations of homegrown terrorism, soldiers were cautioned to keep a low profile, refrain from wearing their uniforms in public. That changes on Tuesday. Veterans, current military personnel, reservists and cadets will pull on their snappy, pressed uniforms, don their caps and berets, pin their medals to their chests, and put one last glean on their polished shoes. They’ll parade down streets across the country to gather in city squares, around cenotaphs and memorials to remember those who served before them and lost their lives. And we’ll thank them with our applause, handshakes and pats on the bank. Because it’s their dedication, hard work and sacrifice that has kept the fright and destruction of war from touching most of our lives directly. ~ Black Press

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Story behind the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Somewhere in France lie the bones of my husband’s great-uncle. He ser ved in the Lancashire Hussars in World War 1 and lost his life somewhere near the German border. Like thousands of soldiers, his remains were never repatriated and, if found, never identified. For our family, he personifies ever ything that the Unknown Soldier represents – loved ones lost forever to the horrors of war. But how the Unknown Soldier idea began is a story in itself. According to the website of London’s Westminster Abbey, the concept of the remains of a single, unidentified warrior representing all those lost at war apparently had its origins in the far-reaching vision of a chaplain serving at the Front lines in World War 1. In 1916 the Reverend David Railton noticed a garden in Armentieres,

France. It contained a grave with a rough cross on which were pencilled the words “An Unknown British Soldier”. Haunted by the powerful image, he approached the Dean of Westminster in August 1920 to launch something similar but on a Margaret grand scale. The EVANS idea picked up steam. The actual body was chosen from four unknown British servicemen exhumed from four battlegrounds – the Aisne, the Somme, Arras, and Ypres. They were brought to the chapel on the night of November 7. The four were laid out and covered in Union Jack flags. Only Brigadier

General Wyatt and Colonel Gell entered the chapel. Not knowing who was who or what battle each came from, General Wyatt selected a single body. It was put into a plain coffin, sealed, and then placed in a second coffin made of two-inch thick oak and lined with zinc. It was covered with the flag that Railton had used as an altar cloth and on November 11 it was ceremonially buried at the west end of the Nave of Westminster Abbey. The grave contains soil from France and it is covered by a slab of black Belgian marble. The idea grabbed the hearts and minds of people in many countries. In 1921 France and the United States dedicated memorials to lost military people and over the years other countries followed their example. In May 2000 Canada repatriated the remains of an unknown

soldier from France, laying them to rest at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. It was the millennium project of the Royal Canadian Legion. The soldier’s body had been buried in Plot 8, Row E, Grave 7, of the Cabaret-Rouge British Cemeter y in Souchez, France. It was close to the memorial at Vimy Ridge, the site of the first major battle where Canadian troops fought victoriously with the allies. It was selected from among 6,845 unknown soldiers of the First World War. The soldier’s remains were exhumed on May 16, 2000 and the coffin, with a guard of honour, a chaplain, Royal Canadian Legion veterans, and representatives of Canadian youth, was flown to Ottawa. The remains lay in state for three days. On May 28, the body was transported

on a horse-drawn gun carriage in a funeral procession and reinterred in a sarcophagus in front of the War Memorial. The original headstone of the Unknown Soldier is the only artifact and the sole focal point in the Memorial Hall in the Canadian War Museum. The hall was constructed so that sunlight would directly frame the headstone once each year at 11 a.m. on the November 11. The War Memorial and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Ottawa will be especially poignant this Remembrance Day. Two weeks ago gunfire echoed across the revered tomb when Cpl. Cirillo was slain guarding not only the site but the sacred memories of all those who gave their lives for our freedom.

War memorial gives new perspective A few years ago, my husband and I had the pleasure of taking a trip to Turkey. Included in the tour was a visit to the Gallipoli Peninsula, scene of fierce fighting in World War 1. My first reaction upon learning that we were to visit a military cemetery was, “ho, hum, what’s the big deal” about seeing a bunch of graves? Why bother? We arrived at the Memorial Cemetery to see trenches still left as they had been during the fighting there. Before us, stood thousands of white crosses and, as we slowly walked between the rows and read the names, the ages of the dead and the inscriptions, I began to see the tragedy of so many young lives lost and, in my mind, I could see the faces of these young men forever gone, and the families who had lost so much . The question that came to me was “why and for what purpose?” This particular memorial commemorates the loss of 4,934 Australian and New Zealand young men. It gave me a new perspective on the futility of war and I shall never forget this experience and the impact it had on me. I did not feel the need to see, a place where young men fought and died

So long ago and far away , was it for ME they gave their all And left their Country and their friends, and from their family torn? Was it for freedom or for pride, for children not yet born? No sense of battles to be fought, of life or death that lay ahead. Adventure, then, was what they sought; not horror, blood and fears, And futures now that would be lost and families left in tears. The battle then was fought, by sons that never would return...and fathers too, now gone....forever. As foe met foe, and sabers pierced, in combat fierce, they fell and bled Five hundred thousand, sacrificed, they lay there wounded.... dead. Soon, buried in a foreign land, “Forgotten”? no, no never The memories for families left, would surely live forever. As crosses standing, row on row, as far as eye could see. Stark white, like fingers pointing to the sky and reaching to eternity. Inscriptions, here, for all to read, “Our son, our only son lies here”,

“So young, so full of life, was he... our hopes and futures turned to dust now never more can be. Too soon was taken from our grasp, a sacrifice too great to bear, And was it all for naught”? So, as I stood with unshed tears and breaking of my heart, the questions came. “Was it in vain, their sacrifice, to satisfy the greed for power?” “Was it to ensure freedom, for families yet to come, for me and for my children, Or only just for some?” “Was this the price that must be paid, time and time again, By generations, now long past, and too, by others not yet come. Will mankind ever learn to live, in harmony and peace, Show love and understanding, will wars and discord ever cease?” God grant that all mankind may learn, too great a price is paid in war Too much is lost, too little gained, I pray that it will be no more. This was a heart-moving experience which I shall never forget and remembered, especially at this time of the year. E Feddersen

I will remember... I will remember. Remember the sacrifice that each and every one of our valiant and brave men and women sacrificed for our freedom and way of life. I will remember the faces of those who served our country in the past present and into the future. I will remember the hart wrenching feeling that came with the news that one of ours had fallen. I will remember the pride of seeing our brave young men and women return home safe from harms way. I will remember all of those who were left behind and cost to their families and friends. I will remember how much we all owe to the brave men and women of our Canadian Armed Forces. I will now and forever remember. Thank you for making my home our home a safe and free Canada. I will remember.

PRECIOUS PREC CIIO OU O US MOMENTS, BELLEEK CHINA,

Organizers claim they had written permission Re: Pro-life flag display at Chilliwack Museum As the organizers of last Saturday’s educational event, we would like to clarify that we followed all the rules the City of Chilliwack set before us. We were given written permission from the Director of Corporate Services to proceed with our event. It was only a day before the event was to take place that the city tried to prevent it from happening without giving reasons or citing any poten-

tial bylaw infraction. We can only assume that it was because of the message. The flag display took place on the Chilliwack Museum grounds of which the cenotaph is a part of. The location was chosen because of its high visibility and exposure to foot traffic. While many connections could aptly be made between the cenotaph (which incidentally means “a monument erected in honour of a person or group of people whose remains are else-

where”) that was not the reason we chose this location. We hope Veterans and citizens of the City of Chilliwack understand that our intention was never to connect our display to Remembrance Day. If in the process of drawing attention to the fact that 100,000 Canadians do not experience the same freedom as everybody who witnessed the display we offended any Veterans, we sincerely apologize.

Transpor tation Minister Todd Stone has backed away from a proposal by BC Ferries that it should consolidate its two Nanaimo ferry terminals, after objections from B.C. Liberal MLAs on both sides of the route. Stone said Tuesday that BC Ferries should consider whether it still needs both ferry terminals at Nanaimo, a legacy of the NDP government’s decision in the 1990s to build Duke Point. BC Ferries calculates that its Nanaimo runs have higher costs and lower ridership than the main Tsawwassen-Swar tz Bay run that serves Victoria.

But on Wednesday, Stone ruled out that possibility. “I indicated yesterday that while we weren’t endorsing or supporting the idea, it may be worthy of consideration,” Stone said by phone from Regina Wednesday. “Over the last 24 hours, I’ve had some very good conversations with my Island colleagues, Don McRae (Comox Valley)

the mid-Island.” However, the completion of the South Fraser Perimeter Road through Delta and expensive refits required at the Horseshoe Bay ferry terminal in North Vancouver could result in a shift of some mainland-to-Nanaimo ferry traffic to the Tsawwassen terminal in the coming years. BC Ferries has released a new major route strategy that proposes ending the Horseshoe BayNanaimo run and putting the traffic on the Tsawwassen-Duke Point route, which has had sailings cut due to low usage. Stone also ruled out BC Ferries’ suggestion to consider a passenger-only ferry from Departure Bay in downtown Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay. Horseshoe Bay has congestion problems on the water as well as on land, where vehicles line up along the highway before stacking up in a two-level “transfer deck” to board the ship. That dock structure is due for replacement at an estimated cost of $200 million. Horseshoe Bay terminal also serves the Sunshine Coast via Langdale and a third run to Bowen Island with smaller vessels. BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan compares it to an airport with only one runway, with ferries lining up to a terminal that can only load and unload one at a time. Tsawwassen has multiple berths that can handle simultaneous loading and unloading. Both Stone and Corrigan emphasized that BC Ferries has to look beyond tinkering with under-used routes to keep fare increases in check. “This is a longer-term project,” Corrigan told CKNW radio. “It’s not something we’re going to do overnight.”

Premier Christy Clark and Alberta Premier Jim Prentice. B.C. GOVERNMENT PHOTO

Prentice skirts oil on first visit to B.C. Tom Fletcher Black Press Alberta Premier Jim Prentice went all in for liquefied natural gas but tiptoed around oil pipelines in his first official visit to B.C. Prentice won a seat in the Alberta legislature last week after taking over the ruling party in the wake of Alison Redford’s sudden resignation, a similar path to power as Premier Christy Clark. And his first out-of-province visit as premier was to Clark’s Vancouver cabinet office Monday. Asked about getting Alberta’s oil to the B.C. coast, Prentice echoed his days as a environment and industr y minister in Stephen Harper’s federal cabinet. “We talked about the importance of port investments, we talked about the importance of the environmental regime we both want to see off the west coast of Canada, which should be absolutely world class,” he said. “We talked about labour policies and the challenges we both face. And certainly we talked about the

whole range of projects that are being proposed right now.” Clark also avoided direct mention of oil pipelines, stressing the economic clout of Canada’s three western provinces to Asian trade. Both she and Prentice moved the topic to LNG, where Prentice vowed his full co-operation. “Really it comes back to the fact that Alberta and British Columbia working together have the resources and the capacity to reach out into the Asia-Pacific Basin to provide what the world wants,” he said. Prentice’s visit came as lawsuits and protests continued over the Enbridge Nor thern Gateway pipeline proposed for Alberta to Kitimat, and federal hearings on the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby and refineries in Washington state.

Some may have special placement needs due to difficult early childhood experiences, prenatal exposure to alcohol or drugs, learning delays or other developmental challenges.â&#x20AC;?

Home&Garden

Getting your yard ready for winter Winter Colour: Heavy rainfalls have taken their toll on many garden annuals and perennials. They will make great compost, but removing them will leave your garden looking rather bare. Hardy winter colour, set out now, will add new life and provide much needed colour to your winterscape. Strategically planting winter colour in groups with contrasting blocks of bright colours, like yellow, with more pastel shades, creates the most vibrant effect. Centre pansy groupings with the many unique colours of evergreen carex grasses and add colourful conifers, winter heathers and evergreen perennials, like euphorbias, for winter containers and plantings that come alive now and last through to April. Fall Bulbs: It is still the ideal time to plant your fall bulbs. Plant them in well-drained soil at a depth of three times the diameter of the bulb. Plant bulbs in groupings for the most ‘pop’. With proper planning, you can time your bulbs to bloom in sequence from January through June. I’m a big fan of botanical or species bulbs that naturalize easily and come back each year with an even more impressive display. Make sure you have at least a few giant alliums for a great summer show in June. Lifting Bulbs: It’s the last call for lifting and protecting summer bulbs. Gladiola corms and begonia tubers should have been lifted by now, and they must be kept warm at about 15°C (60°F). It is also the time to lift dahlia and canna tubers. Make sure you dry them thoroughly then dust them with sulphur powder. Keep them from frost, and store them cool 5-10°C (40-50°F). Vegetable Gardens: Many late vegetables can stay in the garden for winter harvesting. These include turnips, parsnips, brussels sprouts, swiss chard and the new series of winter vegetables. If you do not have proper vegetable storage, you can place a thick mulch of bark over your root crops and leave them in the ground as long as possible. Compost: Fall is a great time to add existing compost to your

www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1

garden, and there is still time to plant Garden Rejuvenation Mix for invaluable green manure in the spring. Speaking of compost, make sure you take full advantage of all the leaves, old annuals and vegBrian etable MINTER stems by composting them over the winter. You might also wish to add more sand to your vegetable garden to improve the drainage next year. Applying lime is important now too, except of course where you are going to grow potatoes. Lawns: Cut your lawns quite low (1½-2 inches) one more time to allow more air circulation in and around the root systems. This can prevent many disease problems. To prevent

moss from taking over your lawn, maintain a high level of nutrients by applying a controlled slow-release, high nitrogen fertilizer and by applying prilled lime at the rate of 10 kilograms per 2000 square feet to prevent acidic soil. It is too late now to seed new lawns, but aerating and sanding existing lawns now would sure make a huge difference. Trees and Shrubs: Now is the best time to plant most evergreens, fruit trees and shade trees. They are becoming dormant and, once planted, they will immediately form new roots. By spring, they will have well established root systems. Some points to remember: The quality of the soil in which you plant your new trees will determine how well your trees grow. Work in plenty of fine bark mulch to open up and provide good drainage in our heavy clay soils.

If your trees are in burlap sacks, you should leave the sack on the rootball – it’s holding all those roots together! Bare root trees can be safely planted now. They will make new roots, getting them off to a great start come spring. If you use a liquid starter, your trees will get a faster start. Evergreen hedges, planted now, will provide a good windbreak for cold winter winds, thereby helping to keep your fuel bill down a little. Hedges will also give you privacy and at the same time, beautify your home. We are now entering a brand new season, and it is so nice to have our lawns and gardens in shape for the coolest and wettest time of the year. The addition of winter colour is a pure bonus – one you will appreciate more and more as winter progresses.

Lest we forget those who served..

. . and continue to serve. We must always remember those who served with honour and courage, especially the men and women who gave their lives to defend our freedom. May we never take for granted the important contribution these brave people have made to this great country, called Canada. To all who served and continue to serve, as well as their fine families, we respectfully offer our gratitude.

Neighbours

Mike McLatchy: Passion and commitment pays off Plumbing and catering are two, rather unrelated careers. I guess that’s why you could consider Mike McLatchy a well-rounded individual because he developed a passion for and has been successful at both of them. Mike was born in Mission and grew up in the Valley. His father was involved in the lumber business while his mother was in the restaurant industry. He was adventurous and spontaneous and quite enjoyed school; particularly the sports and social side of things. “I was consumed a fair bit by rugby and soccer. I started coaching soccer when I was 17 because we had to coach something and I fell in love with it,” he reflected. He got involved in the restaurant business when he was just six years old and oddly enough, restaurant work

became his passion. “I would stand on a milk crate and wrap tin foil around baked potatoes and all through school I continued the work. In fact, I thought of becoming a chef,” he said. After graduating from Sardis Senior Secondary, Mike continued in the restaurant Ana business and MACEDO eventually began his own catering company. “I did that until the kids were born.” Once his children arrived, he resolved that perhaps a different career choice was warranted and oddly enough it was a cartoon that set the stage for his new careen plan. “I started as a plumber in 1990. A fellow that I was doing a catering job

for had a Herman cartoon on his fridge. It showed Herman as plumber, coming out of a limo to do a service call. I thought that it was cool,” he smiled. The fellow happened to own a plumbing company and hired Mike as an apprentice. “I then went to BCIT for four years under their apprenticeship program,” he said. By 1998, Mike had decided to head off on his own and started Fairfield Island Plumbing and Heating. “My company has served Chilliwack and the Lower Mainland since then and our work includes interior plumbing and radiant heating for commercial and residential new construction as well as renovations and tenant improvements,” he explained. There is no question that plumbing keeps Mike rather Continued: ANA/ p28

Ana chats with Mike McLatchy ANA from page 26 busy but he continues to devote so much of his time to soccer. “This is my 22nd year as a soccer coach. I was coaching while my girls were involved but instead of quitting when they were done, I decided to continue,” he said enthusiastically. Mike and his wife encouraged both of their daughters and their ongoing support paid off. “Our oldest daughter, Sarah, was a world champion drummer with the Simon Fraser University Pipe Band. Jenna, who is our youngest, played the bagpipes but she was also a wrestler with

SFU. She was a three-time All American champion, a twotime National Champion and in 2011, she took the gold medal in the Pan Am Games held in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Between drumming and wrestling, we got to travel around the world. Sarah is now a teacher at AD Rundle and she’s starting a wrestling program there with mats donated by SFU,” he said proudly. Ten years ago, Mike decided to buy a small, five-acre hobby farm where he currently raises sheep. A year after buying the farm, Mike fell out of a tree and the injury has had a profound impact on his life. “I was putting up a swing for the

kids and I broke my leg in the process. This injury was life changing. I have had three surgeries and I’m always in pain but there’s no use complaining. After something like that happens, though, you do tend to appreciate all of the little things,” he admitted. Today, in spite of his injury, Mike continues to work hard and he gives back to the community whenever he can. “When I’m not working, I do enjoy sturgeon fishing; if I have no soccer to coach or if I’m not involved in some hands-on community service project through Rotary,” he ended.

Limiting the risk of disease transfer between pets and their owners Dr. Leslie Ann Ross Vedder Mountain Veterinary Clinic

What do you think? email: editor@ theprogress.com

To help avoid unanticipated confrontations with wild animals that may be carriers of infectious diseases judicious leash control of dogs is a prudent safety measure.

owning pets can be quite simply achieved with two basic hygienic measures of thorough hand-washing, especially before mealtimes and by a conscious effort to decrease hand-to-face gestures. Further, it is important that they ensure that their pets are kept current on their immunizations and deworming schedules. Other commonsense measures to decrease

risk of transmission of disease from pets to people include daily cleaning of pets’ food and water bowls and cats litter boxes. Also, if feeding a raw food diet, it is particularly important to have this food separate from the family’s own food preparation areas.

As undeniably fearsome and devastating the disease in West Africa is, Ebola virus is very unlikely to rip like a tornado through industrialized nations of the Western world because of their considerably more solid public health infrastructures and substantial medical and economic resources. Ebola virus disease is a zoonosis, a disease that can be transmitted from animals to humans. It also is a reverse zoonosis, since some animal species can acquire the infection from humans. Veterinarians across the world assume the role of vanguards to protect the health and safety of animals and the public at large. Therefore, it behooves us to stay informed and in turn, inform the public at large of the importance of preventive measures to avoid the spread of disease from pets to people and vice versa. There is no evidence to date that dogs and cats are capable of carrying or transmitting Ebola virus to people. At the same time, there’s no definitive evidence that they can’t. Time will tell as the world experiences more of it. As the effects of this devastating disease resonate globally there may be a silver lining to the cloud if the event increases public awareness of the value of basic hygienic considerations such as regular hand-washing, disinfection of surfaces associated with food preparation as well as hygienic cooking and refrigeration procedures. If so, then the rate of spread of Ebola Virus Disease as well as many other viral, bacterial and parasitic zoonotic diseases would significantly decline all over the world. A much healthier environment for people

judicious leash control of dogs as well as adequate supervision of dogs and cats if they are allowed a degree of freedom in wooded areas are two other prudent safety measures. For those folks that enjoy sharing their bed with their pets it is important for them to be aware that sick animals can pass on to them some of these diseases and again, as in the case of MRSA, Salmonella and some other infectious diseases, vice versa. Also, poorly maintained pets may carry worms and other parasites that can be transmitted to sleeping humans. As well, as affectionate and spontaneous a practice as it is, kissing of pets around their mouths is not free of risk factors either, and in some cases a person with an infectious illness may be doing his or her pet a favor by avoiding a kiss that potentially could pass on their health problem to their pet.

City Car: Kia Soul EV & Smart ForTwo Electric Drive. Bob’s Pick: Both entries are small electric vehicles and they’re close in terms of performance, but the Kia Soul EV is my choice. It seats five (instead of two), has more cargo space and rides nicer, making it a more practical everyday car. Price (base/as tested): $34,995/$34,995 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 10.5 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 43.4 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 2.0/2.6 Le/100 km Small Car - Over $21,000: Mini Cooper, Kia Forte5 & Volkswagen Golf. Bob’s Pick: The winner of this category should be a strong contender for the overall car of the year title. Lower, longer and

Financing Available OAC

DOES YOUR BOX LOOK LIKE THIS?

Luxury Car - Over $50,000: Acura RLX Hybrid, Cadillac ATS Coupe, Hyundai Genesis & Kia K900. Bob’s Pick: My clear winner here is the Acura RLX Hybrid, a large all-wheel drive luxury sedan that’s fun to drive, yet very easy on fuel. It uses a 3-motor hybrid powertrain with a front electric motor & twin rear motors. The drivetrain also includes a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. Price (base/as tested): $49,990/$69,990 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 6.0 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 44.3 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 8.0/7.5 L/100 km Sports Performance - Over $50,000: Dodge Challenger, Ford Mustang GT & Volvo

SERIOUS PROTECTION DON’T BE FOOLED BY BRAND-”X”

V60 Polestar. Bob’s Pick: Priced well below the other two entries in this category, the new Ford Mustang GT provides excellent bang for the buck and looks awesome. Price (base/as tested): $42,499/$51,899 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 6.2 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 39.5 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 15.2/9.3 L/100 km SUV/CUV - $35,000 to $60,000: Chevrolet Tahoe, Lincoln MKC, Mercedes-Benz GLA 250 & Toyota Highlander. Bob’s Pick: Big can be beautiful, as Chevrolet Tahoe has evolved into a more drive-able vehicle that offers a supremely comfortable ride, can pull a (3863 kg) mountain and the new EcoTec 5.3 litre V8 engine provides decent fuel economy, especially on the highway. Price (base/as tested): $57,245/$59,460 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 8.0 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 42.1 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 14.9/10.1 L/100 km SUV/CUV - Over $60,000: GMC Yukon XL, Mercedes-Benz GLA AMG & Porsche Macan. Bob’s Pick: A performance utility vehicle that actually can go off-road, the Porsche Macan came with an optional (height adjustable & self levelling) air suspension. On a paved road…it’s a Porsche! Price (base/as tested): $54,300/$64,030 Acceleration 0 to 100 km/hour: 5.2 seconds Braking 100 to 0 Km/hour: 38.1 metres Fuel economy (city/highway): 13.7/10.3 L/100 km

Staying safe means stowing your cell By Lauren Kramer

My kids have my permission to yell at their dad whenever they spot him using his cell phone while driving. Which, unfortunately, is often.

I’ve coached them on what to say: “You’re putting my safety at risk,” “You’re breaking the law,” and “Dad, put your phone away this minute!” I’m not alone when I say my biggest fear is that someone

I love will be in a horrific, life-changing, potentially fatal car accident. And every time a driver picks up their phone while operating a car, that accident becomes increasingly likely.

We’re all doing it, but we know we shouldn’t. Sneaking peeks at our cell phones while we’re driving has become an irresistible temptation as more and more of us become addicted to

checking email, responding to texts and answering calls whenever they come in – and no matter what is going on around us. It’s easy to rationalize. “This will just take a second,”

we think, exaggerating the amount of time it takes to, say, respond to a text message. According to the Canadian Automobile Association the average distraction time for this task is 22.6 seconds,

the distance of 373 metres of travel at 40 km/h and the equivalent of four intersections or 68 parked cars. But it’s not just the texting time that’s so perilous, it’s the time it will take you to regain your focus on the road, to bring your car to a standstill if you have to. Perception, reaction and braking time after a distraction like this – even something as minor as hitting two letters to type “OK” - is 25 metres, the equivalent of a lineup of 17 people. That’s a long time when you’re controlling a powerful, hunk of metal like a car. The truth is that cell phones have become every much as dangerous an addiction when driving as inebriation – even more so because they lack the ugly stigma associated with drunk driving. Yet the probability of being in a crash while you are distracted is horrifying. Texting, even just a word? You are 23 times more likely to crash. Talking on your cell phone – four-to-five times more likely. And reading that ‘urgent’ email that simply couldn’t wait makes you three times more likely to be in a potentially fatal accident, according to research by CAA. Findings by ICBC show that distracted driving is the second leading contributing factor of vehicle fatalities in BC. That’s why, October 20, new penalties for distracted drivers were implemented in this province. If you are caught with your cell phone in hand or programming your GPS while driving, you’ll get a $167 fine and a deduction of three penalty points. It’s a rap on the knuckles but also a reminder to fight our addiction to electronic devices while we’re driving. Because the fact is, for even the best drivers, it’s impossible to safely split your attention while you’re driving. Don’t be fooled if you’ve been lucky thus far, because driving while distracted and not crashing or causing an accident has more to do with luck than competence. And seriously, why wait for luck to run out? Overcoming that cell phone addiction on the road is as easy as turning off your phone and putting it in the glove box or trunk of your car, where you absolutely cannot reach it while you are driving. Yes, I know, you are expecting an important call so you don’t want your phone off. In that case, Bluetooth or wired headsets (worn only in one ear unless you are on a motorbike) are the next best thing. But the key is to make sure your phone is out of reach, because when it is within stretching distance, it’s a pinging candy bar most of us can’t refuse.

The all-new 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe is part of a full suite of large trucks from General Motors. These range from the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, the GMC Yukon and Denali and the Cadillac Escalade. Something of interest is the preference Canadians have for the GMC brand over the Chevrolet trucks, which are the most popular in the United States. More Canadians go for GMC and the US loves Chevrolet, the complete reverse. Regardless, all of these GM trucks represent the majority of full-size truck sales in Canada. GM kind of has a lock on big vehicles able to move a large family, tow a trailer and now do it with much greater efficiency. These are all based on the award winning full-size Chevrolet

absorbers up to 100 times per second to improve ride and handling. This along with the smooth engine and quiet ride makes the Tahoe feel like a big, luxury sedan. One thing to consider when choosing which truck to buy is the available engine. The GMC Denali and Cadillac Escalade trucks have a larger 6.2L V8, which is much quicker and more capable. This Tahoe is just part of the full-line of trucks from GM that dominate the market, and for good reason. These are well-designed, well-made and supremely comfortable vehicles for a large family.

over the Chevy. Yes, this is an expensive vehicle but keep in mind that towing is a big reason why people purchase such big trucks. With a towing capacity of 3856kg (8500 lbs.) in two-wheel drive trim and 3765 (8300 lbs.) with four wheel drive, the Tahoe is up to the task. The Tahoe uses the same 355hp 5.3L V8 engine found in the full-size pickup trucks. It uses direct injection technology and has the ability to switch off half of the cylinders to help save fuel. There is a small indicator light on the instrument cluster that tells the driver when the engine is running on just 4-cylinders. This helps the driver feather the throttle to keep the engine in this fuel saving mode as long as possible. When more power is needed, the engine automatically reverts to all eight cylinders for maximum power. Verdict: The Tahoe tested was the top LTZ trim with the magnetic ride control, the same system used in the Corvette Stingray. This system monitors the road condition up to 1000 times per second and adjusts the shock

ment and ride quality and this has migrated into this Tahoe, the cabin is quiet and refined. This is done through a number of advancements; one of the biggest is the way the doors wrap into the roof to help shut out road and wind noise. The next big advantage is the attention to detail in the front cabin. There is a big screen, front and centre, with easy to use and access rotary dials and switches. There are USB plugs along with regular power outlets just under the radio and more USB plugs inside the glove box and yet another behind the radio screen that slides up and away to reveal a hidden compartment. The back seats have an available flip and fold feature that automatically lowers or raises the second and third row of seats. What is surprising is the lack of cargo space behind the third row when it is in use, the bigger Suburban might be the way to go for really large families. Drive: The two-wheel drive Tahoe is the value leader in the GM line of full-size trucks, starting at $51,900-- the GMC comes with a $2000 premium

More Canadians go for GMC and the US loves Chevrolet, the complete reverse.

Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks that arrived in 2014. GM has taken much of what made those some of the most comfortable vehicles to drive and baked it into the Tahoe and others. Looks: In the Chevrolet family the Tahoe is the short wheelbase version and the Suburban is the longer wheelbase model, with much more cargo space behind the third row of seats. Some might find the new design direction from GM to be a bit too slab-sided, with squarer edges and boxy shapes but I prefer the modern take on the classic design. The Tahoe sits very high off the ground so the power side step is a wonderful addition along with a power tailgate and backup camera. How did we ever live without these amenities before? The biggest change is the front lighting package GM has used on this Chevrolet. LED daytime running lights make a statement and the monster grille with the big Chevrolet bowtie looks rough and ready. Inside: One of the biggest changes in the full-size pickup trucks is the level of refine-

Auto sensory overload at ‘TestFest’ in Niagara

‘‘

It’s a Las Vegaslike atmosphere, where even in the dead of night, you’d be fooled into thinking it’s daytime.

’’

Alexandra Straub

Downtown Niagara Falls can induce sensory overload for some. Including myself. The Ontario city’s bright lights, flickering signs and noveltythemed stores take some time to absorb into the system. It’s a Las Vegas-like atmosphere, where even in the dead of night, you’d be fooled into thinking it’s daytime. The illuminated multicolour bulbs pulse as gatherers from all over soak it all in. Then there are the casinos… One could also experience a sensory overload when a Jaguar F-Type R Coupe growls with purpose as it saunters down the road. Inside the cabin, you’re

L&D

greeted with everything that might make your senses tingle. A carefully crafted cabin, an 8-speed automatic transmission and 550 prancing ponies from a 5.0L, V8 engine, wait patiently to be unleashed on a purpose-built handling course. Not to mention, there’s also a Porsche 911 Turbo S, a BMW M4 and Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible all eager to accompany you on a test loop. Those four vehicles comprise the Prestige – Performance (over $75K) category at the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada’s annual TestFest; a time when

journalists from all across Canada have the opportunity to back-to-back test what’s new on the market (See Bob McHugh’s TestFest Driveway cover story). Before my senses went into overdrive (with the Jaguar and others), I had a much more sensible time with my specifically assigned categories. The first of three groups I tested was the Small Car under $21k, which included the Honda Fit and the Nissan Micra. Then there was the SUV/CUV under $35k class including the Honda CR-V, Nissan Rogue and the Subaru Outback 2.5i. And finally, Sports/Performance under

$50k that allowed me to get behind the wheel of the BMW M235i, Ford Mustang (with the 2.3L, 4-cylinder Ecoboost engine), the Kia Forte Koup, Subaru WRX STI and the VW GTI. The Nissan Micra, for just under $16k is a great value and the car is fun to drive. Then there’s the Subaru Outback ($33,695- price as tested), which was a surprise for me. It didn’t break a sweat on the off-road portion of the test and drove really nicely on the road. Of course, I can’t complain when I have the keys to the seventh generation VW GTI, or the Subaru WRX STI, or even the BMW

M235i. Yes, it’s fun to enjoy the combined effort of engineering, design, and execution prowess, but the modus operandi of the weeklong event is to pick the best of the best. While it’s fantastic to take out some of the most incredible machines on the market, I was pleasantly surprised how much I took to the City Car category. Driving the Kia Soul EV and the smart fortwo electric drive were definite highlights. Being a huge fan of EVs, it’s nice to know that the category is growing. I mean, I’d love to be able to afford a Tesla Model S (as would

many), it’s just not always a reality. But the pint-sized smart and the roomier Soul EV are ideal urban rompers. Another noteworthy vehicle that impressed me was the Volvo V60 Polestar. Clad in a Rebel Blue exterior colour, it was a hoot experience. With 345 horsepower from a turbocharged 6-cylinder engine, the all-wheel drive wagon is not only practical, but also something that left me wanting to drive it again and again. Then there was the Challenger Hellcat. I mean, 707 horsepower in an urban setting seems like overkill, no? Winners will be announced here starting in December.

Quiet efficiency from rookie Pioneering Pi i Chiefs Chi f o

Depending how you look at it, the Chiefs enter the weekend first or second in the Mainland division,

Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Vincent Desharnais says he doesn’t get sick of it, but how could he not? The big Chilliwack Chiefs blueliner stands six-foot-six, looming above most people he meets. It’s a certainty that someone’s either commenting or asking about his height on a daily basis. You couldn’t forgive Desharnais for saying, ‘Yeah. I get it. I’m tall. Can we move on?’ But he doesn’t. “I’m used to it, so it’s alright,” the Quebec native says with an Alex Burrowsian accent. “I don’t think I’m that tall. Zdeno Chara is tall.” The Chiefs seem to have at least one tree on skates every year. The last two seasons it was Cooper Rush, tipping the scales at six-foot-seven and 226 pounds. But, aside from stature, the differences between Rush and Desharnais are stark. Rush was the very definition of a high-event defender — his rinklength forays and cannon shot resulted in 13 goals and 43 points in 90 games. But he was often caught up ice, and was a crazy adventure in the defensive zone. Rush played a very noisy game. Desharnais, by contrast, is a ninja. A growth spurt at 15 years old took him from five-foot-nine to six-foot-big, and like Rush, two strides can get him from here to Maple Ridge, but Desharnais strides in the right direction all of the time. Rarely is he caught out of position. He is efficient rubbing out attackers along the boards and defending the slot. He considers his biggest asset to be his reach, with a massive wing-span

If I’m pointless, take a thing or but a plus-two in two from Cooper. He has just one assist in 13 a game, I’m good.” Scouts could take note games, content to make a good outlet pass and let of Desharnais’s quick and his teammates rack up the accurate break-out passes, and he has the ability to numbers. In a year in which he make beautiful tape-tois draft eligible and on tape stretch passes.

Ability is there to be unlocked. “I think my quick feet, for my size, are also a big asset,” he said. “Central Scouting has me in the C category (fifth round or later), and I want to work my way up to A or B by the end of the year.” Having dropped two straight games, Desharnais and company are in Langley tonight before hosting the Rivermen Saturday (7 p.m.) in a big Mainland division home and home. This is the first meeting of the year between the rivals. Chilliwack (10-3-0-1) leads Langley (7-6-1-3) by three points in the Mainland division standings. See bchl.ca for scores and stats.

Congratulations go out to a pair of Chilliwack Chiefs alumni, Greg Keith and Gabe Gauthier, who along with the rest of the 2004 NCAA champion Denver Pioneers were inducted into the Denver University Sports Hall of Fame last weekend. I was fortunate to be in Boston when they won, a 1-0 victory over Maine, with both Keith and Gauthier playing prominent roles. Gauthier scored the only goal on a power play in the first period. Late in the third period with just over two minutes left Denver took a penalty to set up a frantic finish. It got worse before it got better for them. With 94 seconds left Gauthier was called for delay of game when he grabbed a puck and tossed it out of his own zone during the penalty kill. With just over a minute left, Maine pulled goaltender Jimmy Howard making it six skaters on three. One of the three skaters out there for Denver was Keith who along with goaltender Adam Berkhoel were the two key players in preserving the win. w in. Gauthier may end up as a two time inductee as he was w as also a member of the Pioneers team that made it back-to-back NCAA championships with a win in 2005. Both Gauthier and Keith were w ere members of the Chiefs team that captured the 2000 BCHL championship and won the bronze medal (the only time a third place medal was handed out) at the national championships in Fort McMurray. Gauthier, who spent three seasons in a Chiefs uniform and ranks third in all-time scoring for the Chiefs with 235 points, was also a member of the 2002 Chiefs team

that won the BCHL championship and Doyle Cup. Keith spent two seasons in Chilliwack, scoring 50 goals and 58 assists in 98 games. When we last saw the current edition of the Chiefs they were dropping theirr second straight game, a 6-2 decision in Merritt 10 days ago. They were short five regulars in that game and as off right now it’s unclear if anyy of those players will be readyy to go this weekend when they play a home and home series versus the Langleyy Rivermen starting Friday in Langley and ending Saturdayy at Prospera Centre. Depending on how you look at it, the Chiefs enterr the weekend in either first orr second place in the Mainland division. They rank second in points with 21, one pointt back of the Prince George Spruce Kings, but they have four games in hand. So, iff you look at winning percentage (which should actually be called ‘Percentage off Points Earned’) they rank k first at 75 per cent. The BCHL and Five Hole for Food are teaming up again this season to generate food and cash donations for food banks around the province. Last season, the 16 BCHL L teams combined to generate over 33,000 pounds of food. Chiefs fans topped the listt last year with over 10,000 pounds of food donated.

Sports Highlight reel return for Stobbs Regional Little League opening in Agassiz

Graves leaves Falcons The end of a short but successful era in Sardis secondary school basketball sees Kyle Graves stepping down as head coach. The Sardis grad coached the team for five years, three of them while working as a teacher-on-call in the Chilliwack School District. Changing job prospects this year forced his hand. “I am unable to provide as much of the energy and time that coaching the team requires, as the assignment given to me by the school district has me away from Sardis secondary,” he wrote, explaining his decision. “The unfortunate reality is that it will be too difficult, both personally and professionally, to not be at the school every day developing and strengthening the great relationships I have built over the years with each of the returning players and all of the new players.” Graves led his Falcons to back to back provincial tournament appearances. He groomed Hayden Lejeune (now at UVic), Eric Rogers (now at

Trinity Western) and Cam Servatius (now at UBC-Okanagan). Collectively known as the Big Three, they helped Sardis to a fourth place finish at the 2014 AAAA Championships, held last March in Langley. His teams were the first local senior boys’ squads to earn a spot in the tournament in move than 60 years. “We broke new ground by finishing eighth in 2013, fourth in 2014, having multiple home-game crowds of over 400 and earning back to back titles of having the best fans in the province,” Graves said. “We sent three student athletes onto university basketball last year, and in the last two years we have had 12 graduating seniors go on to study in university. These accomplishments should be shared by all of those who have supported Sardis basketball and I look forward to the continued success as this year’s team continues the tradition of success we have built over the last five years.” The school has not named a replacement for Graves.

● Chilliwack’s junior bantam Giants were held off the scoreboard in a season-ending loss to the North Langley Bears. The Bears won 7-0, scoring their only major off an interception return in the second quarter. The Giants marched the ball up and down the field, but lacked finish. Fullback Nick Butler had a dominant game running the ball, while wing-back Kurtis Flynn contributed one big run and one clutch catch. Hudson Harvey and Wyatt Hinchberger were stalwarts on defence.

Jessica Peters, Black Press It’s been about 10 years since Agassiz has had a kids baseball team to call its own. In that time, any kids interested in playing ball have had to travel to places like Chilliwack and Mission. But an overcapacity at those cities’ ball diamonds means baseball is coming back to town — and in a big way. Two men are looking to create the Agassiz Little League Association, with a catchment area that will include Chilliwack, Hope and Agassiz/ Harrison. Trevor McGuire and Chris McCurdy

have been talking to the District of Kent’s recreation department about the feasibility of a local league, and are already gearing up for some winter training. “We have all been extremely pleased with being able to bring this sport to Agassiz with the District of Kent helping us to develop the opportunity for all of our youth,” said Trevor McGuire. “Becoming a Little League Canada & International affiliate opens the door for us to participate in the USA and for USA teams to come to Agassiz to play baseball. The goal of our organization is promote elite baseball training in a year round environment. I believe Agassiz can provide us

with the perfect location for this to happen.” In a report to council presented on Monday night, they estimate about 160 kids aged seven to 18 would make up the league. Those kids would be split into eight to 10 teams. The league would also plan local ball tournaments. The idea was in front of council for information, and was met with enthusiasm. “This is long overdue,” said Coun. Duane Post. “Baseball has been missing here for the last 10 years,” said Kerry Hilts, director of recreation services. Chilliwack’s fields could not accommo-

date the team, and Mission didn’t work as a location either. Fields are affordable in Agassiz, renting to youth groups at $5.50 an hour. They are also underutilized. While there is a two-pitch adult league, District staff said they believe the two organizations can coordinate field usage to avoid conflict. The league is hoping to use diamonds 1 and 5 on Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays. A meet and greet will be held at the Community Culture and Recreation Centre in Agassiz on Nov. 7.

AND OUR MAJOR IN-KIND SUPPORTERS: 11-14F FHH7

In the last game of the regular season, Chilliwack Minor Football’s atom Blue Giants travelled to North Langley to face the Bears. Wyatt Stobbs scored their only major in a 24-6 loss that left them with a final record of 3-7. Officially, Stobbs ran a kick back 70 yards for the score. The highlight reel effort actually saw him cover closer to 200 yards as he zigged and

zagged his way to the endzone. Quarterback Tyler Kelly was an offensive standout, running and throwing behind the blocking of center Andrew Fawcett and guard Adrian Gilbert. Wide receiver Garrett Krieger also had a strong game. Linebacker Kaden Anderson flew sideline to sideline to lead the defence, but it was end Lucas Feaver earning game MVP honours with five solo tackles and two quarterback sacks.

The University of the Fraser Valley basketball teams open the Canada West regular season on the road this weekend, as they travel to Kelowna to face the UBC Okanagan Heat. The Cascades’ home openers are next weekend, Nov. 14-15, against the UNBC Timberwolves. UFV’s womens’ team, still boasting some key Chilliwack talent, is coming off a preseason schedule characterized by a high degree of difficulty – playing four games against teams ranked in the top 10 in

the first CIS national poll. Head coach Al Tuchscherer believes that stands them in good stead as they hit the road to Kelowna. “Our preseason schedule was extremely challenging, intentionally,” said Tuchscherer, whose team took on CIS preseason No. 2-ranked UBC, No. 6 Saskatchewan, No. 8 Regina and No. 9 Queen’s in exhibition action. “Now we’re going to see how that pays off as we start our divisional play. I think we’re a lot better now than we were six weeks ago. When you’re playing elite competition, you’re either going to get buried by it or find a way to get better. I think we’ve gotten a lot better.” According to the Canada West coaches’ polls, both the UFV women and men are favoured to finish in

first place in the new six-team Explorers Division. The UBC-O women are pegged to finish fourth and Tuchscherer knows how tough the Heat play on their home court. The Cascades are a far different team from the one that won the Canada West silver medal and the CIS bronze last spring, but the 2014-15 edition of the squad still has the type of talent and experience to be a contender once again. The Cascades waved goodbye to six key players after their deep playoff run last season, including starting point guard Aieisha Luyken, lockdown defender Nicole Wierks (Chilliwack) and three-point shooting ace Courtney Bartel (Chilliwack). But they bring back a number of key veterans, led by fifth-year centre

Sarah Wierks. The Chilliwack, native was the team’s leading scorer in 201314, averaging 11.9 points per game, and her 8.1 rebounds per game ranked sixth-best in Canada West. Between Wierks and third-year for wards Katie Brink and Shayna Litman, the Cascades’ frontcourt figures to shoulder an increased share of the team’s scoring load. In the backcourt, fifth-year point guard Celeste Dyck takes over the starting job, and Hailey Kendall and Kaitlyn McDonald (Chilliwack) will take on larger roles as sophomores. Nataliia Gavryliuk, a third-year guard/ forward from Kiev, Ukraine, brings a playmaking flair and will be among the team’s scoring leaders. Get more info online at ufvcascades.ca
