Mayoral hopefuls square off Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Mayoralty candidates ran the gamut of Chilliwack issues and concerns during the all-candidates’ forum. The overheated room at the Hampton Inn was packed last Thursday night as it was the first chance for the Chilliwack public to meet the peom ple running pl for mayor. fo Incumbent Sharon Gaetz Sh and candian date Cameron H Hull showed up in d t C ll sh person, while candidate Raymond Cauchi, was on a work trip in Kelowna but took part through Skype. Hosted by Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce with support from the Canadian Home Builders’ Association, the event drew a standing room only crowd of more than 120 people. Candidates were asked to comment on the one of the more controversial decisions taken unanimously by council last year — approving the location of the proposed waste recycling plant near the Fraser River. Hull said based on his experience of “20 years in the waste business” is that the proposed Aevitas plant “has no place” on the river. He reminded people that opponents of SE2 showed stewardship by raising the “incredible stink” against that project that was once envisioned for neighbouring Washington State. “There was reason for that,” Hull said. He warned if something went wrong with the waste recycling site, everyone who relied on the river would suffer, and the salmon

Firefighters were on scene at a fully-engulfed house fire on Yale Road East shortly after 12 a.m. Sunday morning. The suspected cause of the fire is arson, say officials. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Arson suspected in major house fire Arson is suspected in spectacular blaze early Sunday morning that completely destroyed a home in the 50,000 block of Yale Road. The blaze could be seen from the highway as passing motorists called in to report the fire shortly after midnight. Fire crews could see the fire from Prest Road as they were heading to the scene. They arrived to find the house fully-engulfed in flames. Fire

crews from four halls performed a defensive-only attack as it was unsafe to enter the home initially. The top floor had collapsed onto the bottom floor about 15 minutes after crews arrived on scene. Only after 30 minutes of battling the blaze were firefighters able to enter the house to do a search. Firefighters say the home was unoccupied.

It took fire crews from Halls 1, 2 (Rosedale), 4 (Sardis) and 6 to fight the fire. Crews from other halls were called in to help with city coverage. “This fire appears to be deliberately set,” said Assistant Fire Chief Mike Bourdon Sunday. It is under investigation by Chilliwack Fire Department and RCMP fire investigators. Anyone has any information

about the fire is asked to call the RCMP at 604-792-4611 or anonymously through Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) or www. chilliwackcrimestoppers.ca The home is located just west of Annis Road. Yale Road was blocked at Annis Road, and traffic was rerouted. RCMP, BC Ambulance Service, BC Hydro, and Fortis were all on scene.

Where the buck stops: Trustee hopefuls talk money Greg Knill The Progress The challenge of securing adequate funding for Chilliwack schools was front and centre at a recent all-candidates forum. Despite an operating budget of $125 million, candidates were unanimous in suggesting there remained gaps in the amount of money needed, or how the existing dollars were being spent. In the final of a series of questions posed to the candidates, the Chilliwack Progress asked candidates how they would “seek to increase available funding, or find new revenue sources, for the Chilliwack School District.” Here is a summary from the candidates who responded; their complete responses can be found in Q&A section at www. theprogress.com, under the Election 2014 tab. Nearly all the candidates said a better job needs to be done lobbying the provincial government for more funding – or funding

that at least keeps pace with rising fixed costs. The rising cost of utilities, medical and pension premiums, and even labour contracts have all been borne by the school district, they said. “The government has directly contributed to the district’s increased costs without increasing funding,” said Dan Coulter. “I will advocate on behalf of the district to have the government do the right thing.” Walt Krahn called on the provincial government to change the way it calculates how much a district receives. “We need to review the funding formula and recommend changes that governmentmandated cost increases are covered by government.” Getting that message to the province will take a co-ordinated effort, said Barry Neufeld. “I would be more active at the provincial level (the BC School Trustees Association) to ensure public education is given higher priority in B.C.,” he said.

But he also suggested efforts be made at the federal level to reinstate federal transfer funds that were cut years ago. “Education must be controlled at the community level, not the ivory towers of Ottawa and Victoria,” he said. Paul McManus called for a unified front, including parents, school district, teachers and special interest groups in lobbying the government. He also called for a discussion on business and corporate funding in schools. Although these kinds of partnerships have existed for years, there has been greater debate about them lately. “I believe we have to get all stakeholders involved in this issue – teachers, administrators, support staff, and parents, and create a task force that develops recommendations on whether or not to move forward in this area,” he said. Rob Stelmaschuk said he’d support greater corporate involvement in schools, provided there

are safeguards in place. “We cannot keep asking the taxpayers to pay the bills.” The candidates also called for greater control over spending, by setting out strict priorities on where money should be spent. “We have to spend more wisely,” said Mar tha Wiens. “The entire system needs to be reviewed for effective and efficiency.” Heather Maahs agreed. “ If I am re-elected, I’d like to reign in spending and begin a process of efficiency review in all departments,” she said. “Tightening our belts at the top and reinstating a surplus is the first and most important place to begin.” Walt Krahn said that while cutting costs is important, so is finding new revenue. He identified potential sources like

increased facility rentals, selling unused property, or bolstering the district’s international program which currently brings in $1 million in tuition and enhances school diversity. Dan Coulter is not convinced. He said the district was “ill-suited” for finding new re revenue. “Very li little room exists fo for fundraising o or corporate sp sponsorship that w will not impinge o on the classro room,” he said. “The district’s primar y job should be to educate children and searching for revenue takes away from that effort.” The complete responses from this and the other two questions asked to the candidates can be found in the Q&A section of www.theprogress.com, under the Election 2014 tab.

The October murder of two Canadian Forces members and a running gun battle in the House of Commons has prompted an increase in guns, body armour and weapon detection procedures at the B.C. legislature. Legislature security guards have always had access to weapons, but the Oct. 22 assault by a lone gunman in Ottawa will mean a more obvious security presence in Victoria. MLAs voted last week to approve installation of an airport-style scanner at the main entrance, and sidearms and body armour for more than half of the B.C. legislature’s 70 security staff. Sergeant-at-Arms Gary Lenz, in charge of legislature security, also received approval for increased training. Unlike the House of Commons, there are no police stationed at the legislature. Security guards, many of whom are former police officers, have special constable status under B.C. law and are permitted to carry firearms. After the murder of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent, run down by a car in St. Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. on Oct. 20, and Cpl. Nathan Cirillo, shot in the back as he stood guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa Oct. 22, there has been an upsurge of support for the military and an early start to tributes at cenotaphs across the country.

The Progress Ethan Davies can build the best Hot Wheels track in Canada. And he’s only six years old. He was the winner of the inaugural Hot Wheels Track Builder Challenge, a nation-wide competition that tests kids’ and teens’ skills at piecing together strip after strip of orange Hot Wheels tracks. Some of the other entrants had impressive tracks, but Ethan’s stood out for judge and Hot Wheels track expert, Andrew Smiles.

“They get major bonus points if they did something I hadn’t thought of before,” he says. “Ethan’s definitely had the greatest change in height.” His track started on the top bunk of his bed. It went down to the top of his dresser, then onto the bottom bunk (his sister’s bed). From there it dipped down onto the floor of the bedroom and had numerous zigzags, flips, loops, and steep banks. “The height was really unique with his track,” says Smiles. “Plus, it looked cool with tons of colour.” The tracks were judged on

creativity, length, aesthetics, complexity, and of course bonus points. It was the biggest and longest track Ethan had ever made. “It went all over the bedroom,” says Ethan. An expert panel judged more than 400 entries. People entered by uploading photos to the Hot Wheels website; Ethan entered four images. After hours of deliberation, Ethan’s track was dubbed the best in country. As a result, track experts from Hot Wheels threw him a huge Continued: BEST/ p5

No fine for anti-abortion display Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Several complaint calls, along with one formal letter came into Chilliwack City Hall calling for organizers of an anti-abortion display to be fined. The city will not be issuing any fines arising from the political protest last weekend in downtown Chilliwack, aimed at criticizing the lack of an abortion law in Canada. Ten thousand blue and pink flags were planted in the grounds around the cenotaph and Chilliwack Museum, which unleashed a torrent of feedback saying the protest showed disrespect for veterans. After seeking an opin-

ion from its legal counsel, the consensus at city hall was that sections of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms â&#x20AC;&#x153;supersedeâ&#x20AC;? Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s municipal bylaws in this regard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Therefore, the City is obliged to comply with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,â&#x20AC;? said Jamie Leggatt, city communications manager. Section 2 guarantees and protects: â&#x20AC;˘ freedom of conscience and religion; â&#x20AC;˘ freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; â&#x20AC;˘ freedom of peaceful assembly; and â&#x20AC;˘ freedom of association.

Six-year-old best in Canada BEST from page 4 track-building party with 25 kids, plus adults, at his home on Saturday. They brought in 250 feet of track and assembled it throughout the living room. Within less than an hour, it was disassembled by the children and smaller tracks started appearing all over the house. Ethan also received a plaque, a Hot Wheels prize pack, and cake. The 250 feet of track used during the party was donated to theÂ British Columbia and YukonÂ Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wish Foundation on Monday.

It was considered â&#x20AC;&#x153;a staff or operational item,â&#x20AC;? and not a political topic, she added, which is why the only role council played was in directing staff to review the Parks, Recreation and Culture Bylaw and report back regarding any amendment recommendations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The City is cognizant of the interpretation the courts have given to the protections,â&#x20AC;? covered under the Charter, Leggatt noted, wherein

most types of non-violent or non-threatening political expression is actually protected. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For example, the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that an activity which conveys or attempts to convey a meaning is constitutionally protected, no matter how unpopular, distasteful or contrary to the mainstream,â&#x20AC;? citing the case, Irwin Toy Ltd. v.

Most patients hospitalized with respiratory illness are children

still unsure to what extent the enterovirus infection caused or contributed to that death or to three other cases of neurological illness in other B.C. patients with who have contracted the virus since August. Sixty-two per cent of victims so far are children under 10 years old and 57 per cent are male. Dr. Danuta Skowronski, an epidemiologist with the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, has said the number of lab-confirmed cases reflect the most ill patients who have been hospitalized, while many more people likely have the virus but have experienced only minor symptoms. Enterovirus D68 can seem like a cold, but the virus may cause wheezing and breathing difficulties in severe cases, especially children with asthma, and has been linked to temporary paralysis in rare cases. The virus isn’t new – variants circulate each year and there have been outbreaks before. There’s no vaccine for it so officials stress hand washing and cleaning surfaces to prevent its spread. Flu striking early

Regular flu season is striking earlier than usual, the BCCDC says, noting there have been seven influenza outbreaks so far at B.C. long-term care facilities. Fraser Health says flu vaccination shots are now available at doctors’ offices, pharmacies, walk-in clinics and public health flu clinics. (Find locations at http://www. fraserhealth.ca/flushot) Flu shots are free in B.C. for all children from six months to five years of age, seniors age 65 and up, pregnant women, aboriginal people and those with chronic health conditions or compromised immune systems. People planning to visit loved ones in a health care facility or who will take family members to outpatient appointments are also eligible for a free flu shot. Children have the option of getting the Flumist nasal spray instead of the shot. An estimated 3,500 Canadians die each year from flu complications – mainly seniors and others with underlying conditions. There are more flu-related fatalities than from all other vaccinepreventable diseases combined.

Previous high max for the day was 17.8 C in 1960. There was also a ‘high mean’ record set for the day, at 14.55 C which is seven degrees above normal. Previous ‘high mean’ was 13.25 C in 2006. That warm weather will feel like a distant memory this week. Night-time temperatures are expected to dip below zero, and there is even a chance of flurries by week’s end.

It’s hard to believe now that things are cooler. But the record-busting heat that weatherwatchers in Chilliwack saw this past summer is continuing into the fall to some degree. Last week on Thursday Nov. 6 had the mercury reaching a record-breaking 19.6 C in Chilliwack. That was 8.9 C above normal, and the warmest Chilliwack day on record this late in the fall, said Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. It was actually the “warmest November day in 39 years,” since the maximum of 20.6 C was reached on Nov. 4, 1975.

The forums may be over but the campaigns are gearing into overdrive as the civic elections head into the final few days. Judging by the attendance at most of the forums in Chilliwack and the advance polling numbers, it appears there is an increased interest in this year’s campaign. And that’s a good thing. It could be due to the fact that we’re now voting in councillors and directors and trustees for a four-year term, a 25 per cent increase over previous elections. But hopefully it’s also because people are realizing how important the so-called third level of government is in our everyday lives. What happens at city hall or the regional district office or the school board office directly affects you and your neighbour. We encourage everyone to get as informed as possible about the candidates pursuing these positions – and above all exercise your right to vote on Nov. 15. The Chilliwack Progress has attempted to cover as many forums as possible for our readers. There is also information online at www. theprogress.com. It’s interesting that election day comes just four days after Remembrance Day. We all get to exercise our democratic right just a few days after paying respects to those who sacrificed so much for the freedoms we enjoy today. In countries around the world, millions of people still do not have that luxury. They fight and die on the streets for the very thing we take for granted. Three years ago, more than 80 per cent of Chilliwack voters could not be bothered to vote. In last year’s trustee byelection the turnout was even worse. As we put our poppies away for another year, let us remember the sacrifices made on our behalf in the fight against tyranny and oppression. And let us honour that memory with a simple but profound action: voting. ~ Black Press

Global warming is stalled politically too VICTORIA – On most issues this column discusses, the feedback I receive is generally negative. One exception has been human-caused climate change, where my mail runs three to one in favour of a skeptical approach. Most express relief at having someone question the exaggerated or false claims advanced by environmentalists who strive to paint Alberta and B.C. as home to uniquely evil climate crimes. As mentioned last week, this is an urgent issue in B.C. as the government pushes to develop liquefied natural gas exports. The B.C. Liberal approach to limit only the “intensity” of greenhouse gas emissions from LNG production, and make no commitment on the majority of emissions from upstream gas production, looks like the effective end of Gordon Campbell’s crusade to lead North America in “climate

action.” The government has also abandoned Campbell’s collapsed effort to set up a cap-and-trade system with various U.S. states to regulate emissions. Which brings me to a key reason for public skepticism. Going back to Jean Chrétien’s lip service to the Tom FLETCHER Kyoto Accord, the world-wide effort to rein in fossil fuel emissions has been a smog of hypocrisy, hollow promises and failed experiments. The next grand climate summit is scheduled for Paris next summer, although the vast international green bureaucracy will first have to jet to Peru for a presummit summit. The European Union has just

agreed to a Campbell-like new target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 40 per cent by 2030. But that’s dependent on the Paris summit reaching a legally binding international deal, something the United States remains unwilling to do. Meanwhile, Germany is building new coal-fired power plants. In Ontario, a grandiose scheme to replace coal-fired power with wind, solar and other renewables has produced steeply rising electricity rates and a political scandal over a cancelled plan to build gas-fired capacity. The public continues to be bombarded with ginned-up stories of environmental destruction. You may have seen shocking TV reports in October of a “haulout” of thousands of walruses on beaches around the Chukchi Sea in Alaska and Russia, with animals trampling each other. The World Wildlife Fund and

U.S. biologists rushed to media to frame this as a crisis caused by a lack of sea ice. This claim has been demolished by Susan Crockford, an evolutionary biologist who teaches at the University of Victoria. If you Google “Walrus mass haulout hype refuted” you will find Crockford’s brief video showing a long, pre-industrial history of these events. She concludes that they are a sign of overpopulation in the now-protected walrus herds. Crockford’s website, polarbearscience.com, debunks similar claims made about supposedly disappearing polar bears that have been a mainstay over the years to drive the global warming catastrophe narrative. In terms of actual reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, there are signs of progress. The United States has made considerable strides, thanks to abundant shale

gas that has allowed it to switch from some of its 600-odd coal-fired power plants. Which brings us back to B.C.’s push for natural gas exports. The NDP claims to support this, but has spent hours in the legislature warning of a giveaway of the resource, imagined fracking disasters and LNG tanker explosions and everything else they can dream up to throw at it. This is the same party that campaigned against the carbon tax in 2009 and hasn’t had a coherent energy policy since. But this isn’t some partisan game. It’s about whether B.C. maintains its gas industry. And so far natural gas is the only thing that has substantially cut carbon emissions.

ROAD CLOSURE NOTICE The Chilliwack

Typhoon Haiyan one year later One year ago is one of the saddest day of my life when the ever strongest typhoon Haiyan hit my home city Tacloban, Philippines on Nov. 7, 2013 (which is also the day of my birthday). It was a terrible nightmare and I thought it wasn’t real at all. But when reality kicked-in, I though I’m going crazy – especially when I couldn’t contact my youngest, brother who lives there along with his young family, for three days. For two nights and three days I stayed up calling them through every contact number I saw posted on Facebook, but to no avail. Thankfully, after three days I was able to here my youngest brother’s voice. He’s safe and survived along with his young family, but I was deeply sadden when I was told that eight of my relatives along with their houses were washed away and went missing. As of now, six of them still are missing. One of my three aunts had been missing but was found hanging in the ceiling of their house, and my seven-yearold nephew was found buried in the mud and debris, barely recognize. We were all thinking that some of our lost relatives might be already buried in the mass grieve. Today, I would like to take this chance to thank you all for your heartwarming support and

reaching out to my relatives and other victims of super Typhoon Haiyan to help re-build their life again. Thank you so much Chilliwack Progress for taking my plight to ask for help for all those victims including my relatives. Because through you, a lot of good people in the Lower Mainland sent their support. We were able to send them 10 big boxes of clothing, can goods, blankets, tents, air mattresses, sleeping bags and other material things by ocean cargo. Also we were able to collected $925 of cash and sent the $725 to them via money remittances as the $200 was used to pay for boxes. Thank you so much once again to all my colleagues, bosses, my good friends and neighbours for all your out pouring support for all those victims. A big thanks also for St. Paul Church congregation for your quick response to helped them. To my dear friend Annette and her mom you were truly like an angel that God sent. Thank you for helping me cope during those difficult time. And of course thank you also to my good friends Susan and Dan for helping me up. Knowing to have had such of wonderful people to help us cope and to reach out to them, to gave them hope and smile to start

their new life all over again. Above all, I thank God for all the blessings and trials that came along our way. My family and I already went through a lot of ups and downs. It may sounds weird but in times of trials, God is our comfort and serenity always asked for his help and guidance. We’ve become closer to Him during our difficult times. We did not feel alone because we knew He was always living with us, looking upon us all. Thank you, my second home Canada. I always think, that everything happened for a reason. I believe that God has a good plan for me and for everyone of us; and I just though, I just though that maybe this is the reason why God sent me here. If only I can do much. I have always had that and still been my dreams to help others in need in any small way. On behalf of my relatives and other victims of Haiyan, and from the bottom of my heart; thank you all so much for all your kindhearted overwhelming help and support that you’ve all done to make those great cause possible. Glory to God to the highest that I able to met you all. Thank you for touching our lives in your all amazing way. God bless you all for you’ll generosity and kindness. God speed! Monique Baker

Building relationships for a safer Chilliwack Thank to Jennifer Feinberg’s pertinent story: “Mayoralty candidates take on crime and safety.” In checking with Chilliwack City Hall I learned that the RCMP share of the budget is the largest of any department,namely $1,760,000 and the function is of course safety. The challenge as I see it is also for the 82 churches listed in the telephone directory. These 82 churches also supposedly use the Holy Bible as their Operators Manual. Old Testament imprisoned heroes such as Joseph, Daniel and prophets are telling examples for us

as God’s family. Then there are letters from St. Paul known as Prison Epistles,written by him when in prison. He too was an inmate. And then take Jesus, our Ultimate hero, himself crucified as a criminal with two criminals on either side exhibited on the Hill of Gogotha and that on our behalf. Ought not the local area Christians also climb on this bandwagon and partner with the RCMP in making Chilliwack a safer community? Not only reporting criminal acts but also reducing the number of criminals by committing to visiting inmates by way of

M2W2 (Man to man / Woman to Woman) friendship program. Head quartered in Abbotsford, it can be viewed on the internet. Surveys done by CSC (Correction Services Canada) indicate a recidivism rate of 19 per cent, 81 per cent no longer return to prison, return to their families, find jobs, a great boon to the community and safer. I should add also that volunteers are well received not only by inmates but also by CSC Wardens and Staff. Currently, there are some 200 inmates, male and female, who have been waiting to build a

friendship with M2W2 volunteers. Since these 82 churches of the eastern region of the Bible Belt are very special property tax treatment - they are tax exempt. Some churches are also getting rental revenue to add to their tithe. What if City Hall should terminate these exemptions – let’s not take these “blessings” for granted. Could I suggest that the Chilliwack Area Ministerial also promote the M2W2 Prison friendship opportunity ? Should you be interested call 1.800.298.1777. George H. Epp Chilliwack, B.C.

Packed house to hear from mayoralty candidates MAYOR from Front runs would be “decimated” for decades. Gaetz explained council had to conduct the hearing using the same exact process it always did. Council was “compelled by law” not to entertain any views about the waste plant rezoning after the public hearing, but the entire rezoning approval process was “flawless,” Gaetz said.

“And as far as the word ‘hazardous’ goes, that’s before the courts,” later adding in an effort to reassure the crowd: “We would never put the community at risk.” Cauchi’s main contribution about the plant location was asking the question, “Why there?” and added it was a decision made by all seven council members, but he didn’t understand

why. Laura Reid of the Chilliwack Heritage Association wanted to know if the mayoral candidates supported a council-appointed Community Heritage Commission. Cauchi and Hull both said “Yes,” they would support that, with Cauchi adding, “if people want to take stewardship, I don’t know why we would stand in

Gaetz replied that mayor and council “earn every penny” of the council remuneration they receive. The late Dorothy Kostrzewa worked almost 40 years as city councillor without a pension she noted, as “no one on council gets a pension.” Paying people “what they’re worth” is key and picking a salary in the “middle of the pack” seems to work, Gaetz said.

cent turnover of child protection staff in the last three years. “It’s really good that the government has finally woken up, six years after the child representative said that staffing issues and turnover issues need to be addressed,” Donaldson said. A mobile response team is being expanded to help offices with long-standing vacan-

cies cope while new staff is recruited and trained. Cadieux said the ministr y budget has increased by about $47 million since 2008, with another increase set for next year. Adjusting office hours and doing more administrative work online or by phone allows the ministr y to focus its resources on face-toface services, she said.

B.C.’s struggling child protection service will be strengthened by the addition of 200 more social worker and support staff positions over the next two years, Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux says. The announcement came a day after the union representing staff issued a report saying they continue to deal with excessive workload and staf f shortages due to high staff turnover, unfilled positions and budget cuts. Cadieux said the additional staff and centralizing of child protection intake screening is a response to the B.C. Government and Ser vice Employees’ Union report, and previous critical reports by Representative for Children and Youth Mar y Ellen Turpel-

Lafond. The BCGEU estimates that 80 per cent of social workers have more than the recommended 20 cases, with nearly half carrying more than 30 and some reporting caseloads of 70 or more. Cadieux said 70 auxiliar y employees are being made permanent immediately, mostly in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island, and the target is to bring the total to 200 new positions by the end of 2016. “We’ve heard the concerns of our staff about their workload, about their inability to do all of the things that they feel are necessary,” Cadieux said. NDP children and family critic Doug Donaldson said help is still far away for rural and northern communities where recruiting and retaining staff is most difficult.

RCMP tightens volunteer security after Ottawa attack Police officers in red serge will also now be armed due to policy change Jeff Nagel Black Press Last month’s attacks on Canadian soldiers in Ottawa and Montreal

have prompted the RCMP to arm officers who appear in public in red serge and to take extra steps to protect auxiliar y constables

who volunteer unarmed in the community. The new requirement for direct supervision is expected to mean more armed regular

RCMP officers accompanying unarmed auxiliaries at major public events than did in the past, according to Assistant Commissioner

Dan Malo, the Lower Mainland District Commander for the RCMP. “Our reality changed after the events of Ottawa,” Malo said, referring to the killing

of Cpl. Nathan Cirillo as he guarded the National War Memorial on Parliament Hill. He predicted the main impact will be on police staffing of major summer festivals.

“It’s a shift in our cultural thinking on how we deploy police officers or anybody that is identifiable with law enforcement.” Operational decisions on exactly how those events are staffed will be up to the local commander based on their assessment of potential threats and other factors. Malo was not able to say whether the changes will increase costs to cities or decrease the number of offices on duty to respond to other calls, but added policing costs will likely rise for some festivals. That prospect has alarmed Coquitlam city council, which voted to write to RCMP national headquarters to protest the change. The letter warns the new policy directive threatens cost-effective policing and will impact a broad range of community programs in schools and parks that are staffed by Coquitlam’s 49 auxiliaries. “Such a change will also have a significant financial impact if sworn officers are required to provide direct supervision of all activities performed by our auxiliary constables,” the letter states. “Our existing complement of regular members will no longer be freed up to attend to other scheduled duties.” More than 1,100 auxiliaries assist with policing across B.C. and Malo said it’s appropriate to be more careful than in the past, depending on the circumstances. “I consider them community heroes,” Malo said. “They’re volunteers who volunteer hundreds if not thousands of hours to wear an RCMP uniform and serve their community. We have to make sure these local heroes are protected.” RCMP of ficers appearing in the community in red serge often were not armed in the past. That has changed and those officers will now carry firearms, including at Remembrance Day ceremonies. “At things like funerals it’s very traditional we were not armed,” Malo said. “Now you will see when we are identifiable we are always armed.”

Members of the Chilliwack Fire Department were at McCammon (pictured) and Central elementary schools last Friday serving hot soup to students. The Chilliwack Fire Department has started a partnership with the Chilliwack Bowls of Hope Society to serve lunch to two schools a month. The fire department assists by picking up the lunches, delivering them to the schools and serving the students hot soup, sandwiches, and milk. Bowls of Hope provides more than 10,000 bowls of soup per month to hungry Chilliwack students. SUBMITTED PHOTO

The Progress Things are going great with Cyrus Centre Chilliwack since opening its doors in September, said executive director Les Talvio. About 25 young people have so far had temporary stays in the four-bed emergency youth shelter, and an even larger number have taken advantage of the support services offered at the Cyrus facility on Wellington Avenue in Downtown Chilliwack. The Second Annual Dessert Banquet & Silent Auction gets underway on Nov. 14 at City Life Church at 46641 Chilliwack Central Road. “We’re actively working to grow our community support here in Chilliwack,” Talvio said. The goal is to raise $25,000 from the event, and proceeds will offset the cost of centre operations, and possibly fund more staff. Event tickets are $15, available from Cyrus Centre Chilliwack. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Event is 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 14.

Most Fraser colonoscopies on time despite demand surge Free colorectal cancer tests fuel an increase in procedures in British Columbia Jeff Nagel Black Press Longer than recommended waits for colonoscopies are a significant problem for B.C. health authorities since the rollout of a province-wide cancer screening program, Health Minister Terry Lake admitted Tuesday. But Fraser Health officials say colonoscopy waits in this region are largely under control, with 88 per cent of patients getting the procedure within the recommended eight weeks. Publicly funded stool tests now available under the provincial colon screening program, coupled with public education about the benefits of testing, has fueled a jump in demand for colonoscopies as well as surgery for colorectal cancer. The program took effect in Fraser a year ago and Lake was under fire from the Opposition in the B.C. Legislature over patient complaints of waits of up to eight months in some other health regions. “We understand the challenge that has been created by

www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309

the expansion of the screening program,” Lake responded. “All health authorities are working hard, under my direction, to ensure that we do reduce those wait times so that all patients that have to be screened and then have a colonoscopy and the surgery are done in a timely manner.” Fraser Health anticipated 450 people a month would test positive each month using the stool test (called a fecal immunochemical or FIT test) but it’s been contending with twice that number of positive tests triggering colonoscopies or surgery. “When the program was implemented in November 2013, we experienced an immediate increase of up to 950 positive FIT cases per month, and that number has been sustained,” spokesperson Erin Labbe said. She said most patients now wait eight weeks after the initial FIT test for a phone assessment, at which point they’re booked for a colonoscopy, which usually happens within eight more weeks. The median wait time for

DR. DARCY

colorectal surgery last year was three weeks in Fraser Health. Labbe said more recent figures were not available but added urgent cancer surgeries get priority. In response to rising demand, Fraser has added colonoscopy time at Burnaby, Ridge Meadows, Abbotsford Regional, Royal Columbian, Jim Pattison Outpatient and Langley Memorial hospitals. “We will continue to add additional colonoscopy time to other hospitals, where we can,” Labbe said. Early detection and treatment of colon cancer significantly raises survival rates to nearly 90 per cent. NDP MLA Adrian Dix said private colonoscopy providers have been heavily advertising their services, offering the potential for some patients to jump the queue while the public system struggles to keep pace with demand. “That shouldn’t happen – $2,000 should not get you months of an advantage in colon cancer care in B.C.” Colorectal cancer is the third most common cancer in B.C. and the second leading cause of cancer death in men.

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future.

Guild goes On Golden Pond Gillian Hames Special to The Progress The Chilliwack Players’ Guild takes on the challenge of easing into the twilight years with their poignant production of On Golden Pond. They bring a seasoned director and an experienced cast, and a play that’s filled with laughter, while tugging away at the heartstrings. On Golden Pond was written by Ernest Thompson in 1979, and is the story of Ethel and Norman Thayer, who spend every summer on a lake called Golden Pond. The play, which opens at the Cultural Centre on Nov. 20, examines the great love between Norman and Ethel, the challenges of their twilight years. “It’s a lovely mix of comedy and drama,” said Guild veteran Joan Hogan, who plays Ethel. “It’s a story about a marriage, a family. Norman is in a dark place and Ethel is trying to lift him back up.” Hogan, has performed in 55 plays with the Guild, says she was drawn to the role of Ethel because of her complexities. She describes Ethel as the peacekeeper of the family. “Ethel is a dramatic role… even though the play has a lot of humor,” said Hogan. “Ethel is very supportive of her husband, but worried about him.” Faced with the possibility of losing the love of her life as Norman’s health is in decline, she tries to keep things upbeat and light, all the while trying to keep her family together. Hogan has known Graham

Archer, who plays Norman, for over 30 years, and says their real-life friendship helps with their chemistry on-stage. “There is a level of comfort and trust already there,” she said. “When you feel comfortable with someone on stage, you can really let go and explore the character.” Archer has been a member of the Guild since 1979. “Norman is still spr y and active, even though he’s 80,” he said. “It’s his mind that is starting to fail him, so the challenge is how to play the character so he seems like a real person, and not a caricature of an old man. It’s about making choices that show his struggle.” Director Clint Hames said the audience will connect with the honesty and poignancy of the story. “I think we can all see each ourselves in this play, in these characters,” he said. And the themes in the play are universal: “Transformation, aging and the impacts of aging,” Hames said. “The play is about how the process of growing up and changing never stop.” On Golden Pond runs from November 20-22 with a matinee showing on the 23rd, and from November 27-29. Show times are 7:30pm and 2pm for the matinee. Tickets are $25 for adults and $20 for senior and students and can be purchased through the Chilliwack Cultural Centre’s box office by phone at 604-391-SHOW (7469), on line at chilliwackculturalcentre. ca or by going to the box office in person.

11-14W KP5

Open the winter season with Warren Miller’s latest film. It swoops into the HUB International Theatre on November 15 in the Cultural Centre to celebrate 65 years of winter sports cinematography with No Turning Back. Just a stone’s throw away from Manning Park and Mount Baker, Chilliwack plays host to a celebration of mountain culture. It’s the

65th film in their annual series highlighting the steepest ski hills, hardcore athletes, and the most daring stunts they perform in the name of winter sports. With each awe-inspiring feat of athleticism, one thing is clear: winter starts with Warren Miller. No Turning Back takes the audience on a thrill-filled ride through skiing and snowboarding, over the most intimate local hills and

the tallest international mountains. It swoops from Norway to Japan, Canada to Greece, Switzerland to Alaska, following the best and brightest athletes through the stunts, runs, and tricks they perfect in the name of the winter sports they love! It’s no wonder that Warren Miller’s films have a cult following, including casual viewers and hard-core ath-

letes alike. Sixty-five years in the business of winter cinematography has honed these filmmakers’ skills to a fine point—bringing audiences a mixture of inspiration and terror as they watch athletes push themselves to their very limits. The result is a story of spectacular proportions, with breath-taking locations across the planet serving as a backdrop for awe-inspiring displays of physical and mental strength performed by the best athletes from around the world! “Ever ywhere we go, Warren Miller Entertainment finds people who have dedicated their lives to the mountains,” says producer Josh Haskins. “Every location we shoot at, from the smallest local hills to the top of Alaska’s Chugach, speaks to skiers and snowboarders because, at the end of the day, all we need are some steep slopes and some snow to cover them.” The Warren Miller story began 65 years ago with one man striving to highlight the virtues of what was then still a fledgling sport: skiing. Miller started out by filming himself and his friends on an 8mm camera with a tripod, living as cheaply as possible and working in exchange for Continued: SKI/ p20

Dentist My, dentist has found that I have a dead tooth and need a root canal. What exactly is a root canal and why is it necessary?

ANSWER: Most people have heard of the term “root canal” but there are a lot of misconceptions about what this procedure actually entails. A person’s tooth has many layers with the innermost being the pulp - commonly referred to as the nerve. In a healthy tooth this is a narrow chamber and canals filled with blood vessels and nerves that keep the tooth “alive”. Several problems can lead to the disease or death of these tissues. Most commonly a very deep cavity or deep crack lines in the tooth are to blame, both of which can cause inflammation in this tissue and bacterial invasion. A tooth ache often follows though not always. In some cases the tooth hurts only much later or not at all and an abscess is seen only much later on an x-ray (radiograph) or when a person develops swelling in the area. Dental trauma can also

Are you ready to have your breath taken away and feel your jaw drop? Are you ready to be inspired, terrified, exhilarated, and awed? Are you ready for winter? Buckle up for a wild, snowy ride through the tallest, coldest, steepest mountains across the planet with Warren Miller Entertainment’s 65th annual extreme winter sports film No Turning Back at the HUB International Theatre on November 15.

Over the course of ten segments, No Turning Back explores the story behind winter sports, from snowboarding to skiing, from intense and adrenalinepumping pieces to nostalgic looks back at the history of Warren Miller films.

“In Greece it’s just amazing cinematography – gorgeous countryside,” says Warren Miller Entertainment’s Jessica McGee. “In Montana we have a love story, and really focus on the old town – the small mom and pop resorts of Montana.”

“We have a lot of archival gems this year. It’s really the heritage that brings the segments together,” McGee says.

and overcompensate for a few missed meals. Why? Because you’re starving! Your ‘rational brain’ is no match for your ‘emotional brain’ when you are too hungry. Instead of skipping meals, eat smaller meals, rich in veggies and protein. If you’re going out, eat a small meal at home before you leave. That way you won’t arrive at a party extremely hungry, and will have an easier time making healthy choices. • Focus on friends, not food. The holidays are about spending time with the ones that you love, so make that the focus. Fully engage in conversations and activities with your loved ones, instead of focusing on the food. After all, it’s just food. Like I said in the first point, you can likely have meatballs, cheese, or gingerbread cookies almost anytime you want, if you really want it. You’ve had it before, and you’ll have it again. It’s just food. • Be really, really picky. The buffet table can be a dream come true - or a worst nightmare.

“The progression in the sport of skiing, the evolution throughout. We touch on it in every single segment, and explore the roots of skiing in each location.” It’s a film for hard-core buffs and vicarious viewers alike—whether or not you plan to get up on the hills yourself this winter, the film is a spectacular and inspirational look at what happens when you push the limits of possibility. The vigor and commitment of athlete, filmmaker, and founder alike are all neatly summed up in the title of this year’s 65th annual Warren Miller film; after all, there is No Turning Back! And of course the night wouldn’t be complete without a mountain of door prizes – every audience member has a chance to win the latest gear from sports supply shops around town. Everything from goggles to lift passes is up for grabs – and you might just find your name in the hat for the Canada-wide grand prize of a Sun Peaks vacation for two, with all expenses paid!

Starring 20 athletes and half-a-dozen exotic locations around the world, the film takes audiences on a wild ride through Norway, Japan, Switzerland, Alaska and Canada.

This film is a wild ride through the same mountain culture of courage and passion that Warren Miller began filming nearly seven decades ago with nothing but a couple friends, a camera, and a tripod. That sense of history is brought to light by Warren Miller Entertainment once again with No Turning Back, the 65th annual winter film production.

rather spend it feeling energetic and vibrant, or sluggish, bloated and frustrated with yourself? • Have realistic expectations. If your goal is to lose weight, aim to maintain during the holidays. If you manage to lose a pound or two, consider it a bonus. If you bring in 2015 the same weight you are now, consider is a huge success! • Keep moving. You can offset some of the extra calories by sticking to your workout routine over the holidays. If you don’t have a lot of time to workout, increase the intensity of the workout to compensate. If you can get out for a 10 minute sweat session, do it! Exercising will make you feel energized and healthy, and may make you less likely to overindulge in holiday treats. After dinner walks are another good way to fit in a little extra exercise. Remember that something is better than nothing, and everything counts. • Don’t save your calories. Skipping meals in order to bank calories for extra indulgences later on is a surefire way to eat way too much

result in damage to the pulp tissue that can require a root canal treatment. Root canal therapy involves first getting the tooth numb, then cleaning out the canals with special file systems to remove the diseased or dead tissues. Once this is complete, the canals are filled to help prevent bacteria from growing in them and the tooth needs to be repaired where damaged. Most commonly a crown is placed over the tooth to strengthen it and help reduce the chance of breakage in the future. It is very important to address infection in a tooth as it can lead to serious and even occasionally fatal consequences. Antibiotics are often needed in the short term but are not a permanent solution due to the internal anatomy of a tooth. A root canal or the removal of the tooth is required to allow the body to heal. It should be noted that any swelling or pain in the mouth or face must be examined as soon as possible by a dentist or a medical doctor to evaluate the cause and initiate antibiotics or definitive treatment as needed.

about the holidays, remind yourself that the holidays are just a series of social events; and for most people, social events and family gatherings happen all year round. The November and December months are really not that different. Yes, there will be opportunities to eat foods you wouldn’t normally find Tanja in front of you, SHAW but you’re an adult. If you really want chocolate, or shortbread, or a certain type of cheese, you can likely have it anytime of the year. • Remind yourself WHY you want to be healthy. Do your exercises each day because you want to take good care of yourself, and you want to be energized for the rest of the day. Eat well because you want to fuel your body with life giving, nourishing foods. Take care of yourself because you are worth it. The holidays are a wonderful time of the year- would you

QUESTION:

Christmas decorations are making their debut, and the smell of freshly baked gingerbread cookies is in the air. Sticking to a healthy eating plan and regular exercise routine can be a battle any day of the year. During the holidays, however, festive feasts, willpower-impairing spirits, and tempting chocolate truffles team up to challenge even the most resolute health nut. Unfortunately, the fear of putting on a few pounds, the stress of making too many ‘food choices’, or the feeling of guilt after indulging in too many shortbread cookies can overshadow holiday joy. Fortunately, holiday weight gain is not inevitable. Follow these tips to thrive during the holidays: to fully enjoy the holiday season without ringing in the New Year looking like the jolly man himself. • Shift your mind-set: the holidays are not that special. Holidays are special because of the time we get to spend with our friends and family; holidays are not special enough to warrant gaining weight, or feeling lethargic. If you find yourself worried

Community Rebate offered to replace old wood stoves The province is providing $190,000 to communities throughout British Columbia to encourage residents to replace their old wood stoves with cleaner burning models. Together 13 communities/ regional districts are receiving funding from the Ministry of Environment through the Wood Stove Exchange Program. The goal is to have close to 630 stoves exchanged across the province this coming year. Since 2008, the B.C. government has partnered with the BC Lung Association to run the

wood stove exchange program. The program provides a $250 rebate on the purchase of a new wood-burning, pellet or natural gas stove. To-date, the province has put over $2.3 million towards the program, resulting in the purchase of over 6,000 cleaner burning models. There are approximately 70,000 older model wood stoves still in use throughout the province. Older higher-polluting wood stoves can affect the health of homeowners, neighbours and overall air shed health. “This is a fantastic partnership

with the province that sees continued success year after year,” said Scott McDonald, president, BC Lung Association. “Positive effects such as improved air quality are being seen in communities throughout British Columbia as a result of the Wood Stove Exchange Program.” Added environment minister Mary Polak: “Our Wood Stove Exchange Program is helping to cut the number of old, inefficient wood stoves in B.C., replacing them with new cost-efficient, environmentally friendly models.”

your plate, take a look at all your options. If you try to sample all the options, you will likely eat too much. Instead, be picky! Don’t waste your calories on foods that you just ‘sort of’ like. Instead, decide what foods you love – and enjoy those foods mindfully and with gusto. Slow down, pay attention to the flavours and textures of each bite. Eat your favourite foods first when you’ll enjoy them the most. • Go easy on the cocktails. Alcohol is full of empty calories, and will weaken your self-control. Opt for lower calorie options: a glass of wine has about 120 calories, whereas a rum and eggnog has about 350 calories per glass. Drink a non-calorie beverage, such as water or tea, in between alcoholic drinks. You will save yourself the weight gain – and the hang over. • Have a “No Choice Plan.” In the morning, most people have a relatively easy time sticking to a plan. By the afternoon or evening, things are a bit different. Will power is a limited resource, and every time you make a decision in your day that requires willpower, such as deciding whether or not to have a piece or dessert at work, or a second helping at dinner, or whether you should go

to the gym, your ‘willpower bank’ dwindles. The solution? Have a “No Choice Plan.” Take a few minutes to plan how your holiday celebration will go. If your mom offers you a piece of cake that you don’t want, then what will you do? Will you have three bites and stop? Will you take it home for the next day? What will you say? If your co-worker brings fresh baked cookies to the office what will you do? Is your plan to accept one small home baked treat, but say no to store-bought goods? There’s no right or wrong plan, you can determine what will work for you. The key is to make the plan ahead of time to eliminate the number of will-power draining decisions you need to make in a day. The holiday season flaunts countless opportunities to stray from a healthy diet. A few extra indulgences combined with missing the gym to get those last few gifts can show up on the hips. Fortunately, with some planning and dedication, you can ring in the New Year the same size you are now. Enjoy the holidays! Tanja Shaw is the owner of Ascend Fitness Inc., a private training studio.

Chiefs pummel Langley to halt losing skid

The Chilliwack Chiefs snapped a three game losing skid with an exclamation point Saturday, bombing the Langley Rivermen 7-1 at Prospera Centre. One night after dominating the Rivermen in Langley, but losing 3-2, the Chiefs took their Mainland division rivals apart. Craig Puffer and Luke McColgan had two goals apiece, the Chiefs out-shot Langley 46-21 and improved their record to 11-4-0-1. A scrambly first period saw the Chiefs take a 2-0 lead on goals by McColgan and Rory Bell. McColgan’s eighth of the year came on an early power play, with Jacob Kearley drawing a double-minor for high sticking. With the second minor still in effect, Chilliwack defenceman Evan McEachern onetimed a bullet from the point that hit a Langley defender on its way to the net. The puck settled at the top of the goal-crease, where McColgan slid a backhand shot past Rivermen keeper Darren Martin. Chilliwack’s second goal also came from a defenceman’s point shot, with captain Eric Roberts firing a low

blast that Bell slickly redirected past Martin for his second of the year. The next goal didn’t come until early in period three, but it was worth the wait. Flying through the neutral zone, Puffer took a lead pass from Tipper Higgins. Crossing the Langley blueline, he doodledipsied his way through Rivermen defender Zach Bleuler before snapping a glove sideshot past Martin for his team-leading 15th. The Rivermen answered back a couple minutes later with a goal by Matthew Graham. The Nova Scotia native thwarted the shutout bid of Chilliwack’ Mitchell Datz, deflecting a William Campion point shot past the goalie. Tempers flared midway through period three, with Langley’s Charlie Pelnik earning a rare gross misconduct penalty. Players on both sides started shoving each other at the Chilliwack bench, with the North Carolina native in the middle of the fracas. A linesman hauled him out, but had to work hard to keep him away. Pelnik dropped both his gloves and gestured several times at the Chiefs bench before the linesman was finally able to get him into the tunnel leading to the Langley dressing room. He faces a three game suspension, and possibly more, for his antics. When play resumed, it was McColgan collecting his second of the

night to put this game away. The California kid chipped a puck past flat-footed Campion at the Chilliwack blueline, flew down the right wing and cut hard to the net. With Campion and Jordan Schneider hot on his heels, McColgan hammered the puck past Martin for his ninth of the year. Puffer collected his second of the net less than a minute later, chipping a Jake Hand centering pass past Martin. As the crowd leapt to its feet, a fight broke out in the left corner. Chilliwack’s Cole Sartorio and Langley’s Kearley traded punches before being escorted off with automatic game misconducts. Chilliwack’s sixth goal came with 1:48 remaining. Rivermen forward Ryan Coulter tried an ill-advised cross-ice pass at his own blueline, and Chilliwack speedster Jake Larson picked it off. The Minnesota native had a breakaway, and capitalized with his eighth of the year, but he paid a price when Schneider slammed his head into the glass behind the Langley net. When the dust settled, Schneider and a couple of his teammates were gone and the Rivermen were left to finish up with just 10 skaters. Chilliwack’s Olivier Arseneau put the icing on the cake with less than a second to play, scoring his first BCHL goal on a five-onthree power play. See bchl.ca

BCHL shunned in national rankings One bad week will cost you in the national rankings, as the Chilliwack Chiefs have discovered. Losses to the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, Merritt Centennials and Langley Rivermen sent the junior A squad tumbling out of the Canadian Junior Hockey League’s top 20. But a 7-1 win over Langley Saturday night (see left) has the Chiefs clinging to an honourable mention. The BCHL in general isn’t getting a lot of love from the CJHL. The Penticton Vees (17-3-0-1) dropped two spots from No. 1 to No. 3, and you have to go well down the list to find the next BCHL squad. The Nanaimo Clippers (14-6-0-0) are No. 17 after getting an honourable mention last week. And that’s it for the BCHL. The Central Canadian Hockey League’s Carleton Place Canadians top the list, with the Manitoba Junior Hockey League’s Portage Terriers at No. 2. The rankings are produced in conjunction with International Scouting Services (ISS) and are based upon a variety of factors, including the league in which the team plays, winning percentage, win-loss record, total points accumulated, goals-for versus goals-against ratio, etc.

Sports Three point assassin cools Heat Kaitlyn McDonald’s only three points of the night came at an opportune time for the University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team. With the Cascades trailing the UBC Okanagan Heat 70-67 in the dying seconds of their Canada West regular season opener on Friday evening in Kelowna, the Chilliwack native and GW Graham grad was fouled while attempting a threepoint shot with 0.4 seconds left on the clock. The sophomore guard drained all three free throws to force overtime, and UFV went on to win 82-75. “It took us over three quarters to kind of figure things out,” said Cascades coach Al Tuchscherer, whose team trailed by 12 at halftime. “It was like trying to tame

a wild horse or something – they were just doing their own thing. Once we settled down and did what we had to do, we had success. We need to replicate that tomorrow.” UBC-O had a chance to put the game on ice when Angela White was fouled with seven seconds remaining and her team up 70-67. White missed both free throws, though, and UFV point guard Celeste Dyck pushed the ball upcourt and got it to McDonald. A prolific and effective three-point shooter most nights, she had missed all five of her previous attempts from beyond the arc. “I was confident she was going to make those,” Tuchscherer said. “She just works on her craft so much. It’s all that work that pays off. It’s not an accident that she hit all three.”

The Lions Den is back. In a world that is constantly changing it is sometimes startling when change comes to visit. The Mt Cheam Lions have experienced changes this summer that for a period of time turned things upside down. In the space of 30 days we lost three members of our club including Jerry McEvoy who was the editor of this column. Jerry, Mic Lewis our charter member and Fred Clempson who was District Governor when we were chartered all passed in quick succession. They are all missed by family and friends. Change is constant and as someone said recently the future has arrived. Our recently completed Model Train & Hobby show was a great success but quite different from our Àrst show or even last year’s show. Community support of our projects allows us in turn to support our community. Mt Cheam Lions Club is a member of the International Association of Lions Clubs, the Global Leader in Humanitarian Service. We have a Global view but we pride ourselves in acting locally. As our Association approaches our Centennial year in 2017, we have Centennial Service Challenges involving Youth, Vision, Hunger and the Environment. In future articles I will outline how we are addressing these challenges in our community. Lions like other organizations have been challenged to become younger by bringing in younger members and to embrace the fact that ladies make up more than 50% of our population and need to be better represented in our association. We have two new members this month, their combined ages is 36, 8 members are under the age of 25 and currently more than 35% of our membership is made up of ladies. The future has arrived. If you would like to be a part of this future please give me a call at 604-7923810. I’m Allan Hunt a proud member of the Mt Cheam Lions Club.

Chilliwack’s Mitchell Thiessen flies to the other side of the planet this week to compete in the Aaron Baddeley International Junior Championship. One of the top junior tournaments in the world has the Sardis secondary school student taking his place among the best teenage golfers, teeing off in Guandong, China. Thiessen represents the Canadian Junior Golf Association, with the tournament starting Saturday and ending Nov. 24. “I feel a little nervous because I’ve only travelled to the United States and this is such a long flight, and I’m not really sure what to expect when I get there,” Thiessen said. “I’m thankful I know one of my other teammates who is also from BC, and the rest of the team I will meet for the first time at the airport.” The 15 year old is assured of being one of the youngest golfers in the field, with most of his teammates and opponents closer to 18 years old. The course at the Lion Lake Country Club is also a long one, calling for big drives off the tee. That’s not one of Thiessen’s strengths. “I’m not a very long hitter so it will be very challenging, but for being 15 years old I feel that I’m at a good point and am very proud of what I’ve accomplished so far,” Thiessen said. “I won two medals at the BC Summer Games last July, qualified for both the PING and Mizuno National Championships and won the CJGA Pitt Meadows tourney with my first hole in one.” With 10 days to work with, you’d expect Thiessen to get out and see some sights, but he’s not sure he’ll have time. “At this point I’m not sure what opportunities we will have outside of the golf resort, but I’d love to be able to walk on the Great Wall of China,” he said. “‘I would really like to thank the Chilliwack Golf Club for all their support for my fund raising efforts for this trip.” The BC Football Conference Langley Rams lost the Canadian Bowl championship Saturday, falling 39-14 to the Saskatoon Hilltops.

Cascades finish fourth at soccer nationals Chilliwack’s McKenzie Hildebrand and her University of the Fraser Valley women’s soccer team fell achingly shy of the podium at the CIS national championships, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Ottawa Gee-Gees in the bronze medal game on Sunday morning in Quebec City. The Cascades dominated the first half at Telus-UL Stadium, and took a 1-0 lead when Jade Palm headed the ball home off Tristan Corneil’s corner kick in the 19th minute. UFV had a 16-6 edge in shots in the opening half, and took a 1-0 lead to the locker room. But they left the door

open for the Gee-Gees in the second half. Ottawa striker Pilar Khoury drew her team even in the 71st minute on a penalty kick. Khoury was taken down in the box. She stepped to the spot and slotted the ball into the bottom corner to Klim’s left. In the event of a tied score after regulation time, the game was set to go straight to penalty kicks. But the Gee-Gee Sophie Curtis scored the game-winner in the 90th. “We never really regained a foothold in the game,” UFV head coach Rob Giesbrecht said afterward. “I guess

we’re paying the price for not getting more goals in the first half, because we were absolutely fantastic. “We needed to bury a few of those chances to get the result we were after.” The UFV women’s soccer team was in search of the second CIS medal in program history – they took bronze in their previous trip to nationals in 2010. There were tears in the Cascades’ locker room afterward, but Giesbrecht noted that the only three teams to beat UFV this season were the conference champions from Canada West (Trinity Western), Quebec (Laval) and

Ontario (Ottawa). All three of those teams will win national medals; tourney host Laval was set to meet TWU in the gold medal match. So UFV was full

value for its fourth-place national finish, which is a fantastic accomplishment. It’s also clear that the Cascades are a program on the rise – every player on the roster is eli-
