RCMP recognized for bravery Four RCMP members who helped rescue a young woman from an icy, water-filled ditch nearly two years ago in Chilliwack were recognized in Victoria on Thursday. Corporals Lee Dyson and Layne Penner (currently with Surrey detachment), and Constables Kevin Morris and Matt Wright were among 68 police officers who received meritorious service awards for “exemplary performance that exceeds expectations and enhances the public image of police officers.” Another 19 officers received the award of valour, the highest award for a police officer in B.C. The four Chilliwack members responded to a desperate 9-1-1 call on a snowy December morning in 2012. An 18-year-old woman had lost control of her vehicle; it was in a ditch and filling with water – fast. RCMP descended on the area and finally located the vehicle on Gibson Road. Knowing time was running out for whoever is inside, several police officers jumped into the water and tried to lift the car up high enough to expose the back window, while another officer tried to break it with a window punch. When that didn’t work, the officer began punching the window with his bare fist until it broke. He then crawled inside the water-filled car and pulled the woman to safety, handing her off to another officer outside who swam her to the edge of the ditch. A waiting ambulance took her to Chilliwack General Hospital where was treated for Stage 1 hypothermia. “By the time police reached me, the water was up to my neck,” the young girl later recalled. “A bunch of the officers went in the water to lift the car, and the next thing I knew I was being pulled out,” she said. “(Then) we had to swim.” “I am just so grateful to everyone who was there yesterday to help me.” At the time, Chilliwack RCMP called Continued: HEROIC/ p10

Filling the kettles starts this weekend Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Get ready for those iconic red kettles to make their annual debut in Chilliwack this weekend. Christmas Kettle volunteers will be ringing the bells at 14 separate locations, including outside some grocery stores, pharmacies and liquor stores.

Kettle Campaign launch at City Hall this week. “Being new to Chilliwack, it’s been amazing for us to see such support for the community,” said Captain Orest Goyak. “People really have a heart for the Army here.” The local Sally Ann will be looking to fill a whopping 3800 hours with volunteers in twohour kettle shifts throughout the pre-Christmas season. That’s in order to meet the 2014 aim of raising $140,000 in Chilliwack, in their biggest fundraising effort of the year. “It’s tremendously important that we achieve our goal,”

said campaign coordinator Hank Pilotte. They’ll be out this weekend and next. As of Nov. 27, they’ll be on duty Monday to Saturday until closing with the kettles. The funds stay in Chilliwack, and go to fund Sally Ann food banks, family services, hampers, clothing and household vouchers, emergency services, housing assistance and more. “I am just so thankful for the people who get out there in Chilliwack and actually do this,” Mayor Sharon Gaetz said about kettle volunteers. “It cheers me up and touches my heart when the little kids

come over to put something in a kettle. What a wonderful thing for people to teach their kids.” With the public’s generosity, The Salvation Army last year in Canada: • provided 6,035 shelter, addictions, detox and mental health beds each night for vulnerable men, women and families in Canada. • ser ved 2.6 million free meals. • assisted 1.35 million people with food, clothing or practical assistance. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

‘Level playing field’ for B.C. liquor stores Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – B.C. government liquor stores are losing their wholesale price advantage next spring, but will also have the option of opening Sundays and evenings with chilled offerings to help them compete with private stores. The change to a single wholesale price for every product takes effect April 1, the same date B.C. is permitting private or government liquor sales in separate facilities inside grocery stores.

Attorney General Suzanne Anton said the change is to create a “level playing field” for liquor retailing in B.C., after private store operators complained that the existing system gave government stores an unfair price advantage. Currently the Liquor Distribution Branch, the government monopoly wholesaler, sells products to government stores at cost and sets a minimum price for all retailers. The wholesale price for private retail stores is 16 per cent less than that retail price, rural agency stores pay 12 per cent less, and stores that sell

only B.C. wine get a 30 per cent discount. A new wholesale price structure for the thousands of products sold in liquor stores will be the same for all retailers, set to retain the $1 billion in revenues the province takes in annually from liquor sales. Anton said she doesn’t expect substantial changes in retail prices. The B.C. Government Employees Union, representing government liquor store staff, welcomed the Sunday openings and increased hours to help their stores compete.

“The move to a single wholesale price will only be in the public interest if it protects and expands over time provincial revenue,” said BCGEU president Stephanie Smith. Premier Christy Clark said the government’s liquor policy review showed “people really like their government liquor stores” because of the wide selection and welltrained staff. Clark agreed with Smith that government stores are well positioned to compete with private outlets, which are generally not unionized and pay lower wages.

The government is also changing its tax system for breweries to eliminate the steep increase that applies when small breweries reach a certain level of production. Anton said that is designed to encourage growth of craft breweries, which currently employ 2,500 people in B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch officials are also working on a system of higher prices for high-alcohol beverages, a measure long recommended by Provincial Health Officer Perry Kendall to discourage overconsumption.

family and the Mertin Group of Companies. “We had become aware that there was a need at some of our inner schools in Chilliwack for a breakfast program,” Boyle recounted. “We thought that this might be a nice project for us, as it fulfills our objectives.” They contacted school board officials to ascertain where the need was greatest. The school will determine the level of need among the

school population, and they expect to soon be feeding about 20 to 25 children. The breakfast might contain fruit, cereal and yogurt, oatmeal, or eggs and juice for example. “We are basically adopting McCammon as a school,” he added. “We will be there for more than just this project.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

The Chilliwack Progress has been named ‘Newspaper of the Year’ for 2014 by an industry organization that represents newspapers from across North America. The Progress finished first in the nondaily, 22,501-37,500 circulation class. A publication that serves Baltimore, Maryland in the U.S. finished second. The annual awards are presented by the LocalMedia Association – a foundation that represents 2,400 traditional media outlets and their digital platforms. The competition was “extremely competitive” and judged by the Medill School of Journalism, Media, and Integrated Marketing Communications at Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois. “These award-winning newspapers displayed top-notch editorial coverage, eye-catching graphic design and prominent advertising layouts, exemplifying creativity and innovation in all areas of the newspaper,” said the foundation in announcing the winners Wednesday. The Progress submitted individual publications to the judging panel, from dates selected by the association. One of the editions included the first of a two-part series on a Chilliwack RCMP member’s deployment in Afghanistan and its impact on his family. Said the judges about The Progress: “Great in depth reporting (I particularly enjoyed the feature about the dad in Afghanistan), and clear, concise writing. “Solid photography, too,” the judges continued. “A very enjoyable read - impressive!” This is not the first time The Progress has been honoured by the association. In 2008 The Progress was awarded first place when the association was called the Suburban Newspaper Association of North America. It finished second in 2012. The Progress was one of only two Canadian newspapers to earn first place this year. The other was from New Market, Ont. However, sister publications the Abbotsford News and the Peace Arch News both finished in the top three of their circulation classes.

Challenged to share your next meal Jennifer Feinberg People enjoy posting pics of their food to social media. What if a community campaign to fight hunger made it even more meaningful? UFV Global Development students Cydney Myers, Kara Hanson and Carolina Silva launched a charity challenge around this very question. It went live Nov. 17 with the hashtag #sharemynextmeal, said team member Cydney Myers, and they’re starting to see results already. The goal is to raise community involvement and hunger awareness in Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Mission — and beyond, with donations going to local food banks. The students were assigned the task of organizing something to help the hungry. “Our Global Development Studies class focuses on development issues around the world but our professor, Cherie Enns, asked us to create a

campaign that focuses on poverty within our own communities,” said Myers. Here’s how it works. Once tagged and challenged, folks post a photo of a meal, with the hashtag #sharemynextmeal on Twitter or Facebook. They mention which community food bank they plan to “share” their meal

with, by donating cash or non-perishables and tagging three friends they wish to challenge. Myers is from Chilliwack, Hanson lives in Aldergrove and Silva is from Mission. But already their challenge has reached across the country to Ontario and into the U.S. in Colorado and Texas.

It was the final city council session for Coun. Stewart McLean, and Ken Huttema this week, and they were recognized for solid leadership and kindness. They both served two terms over the six years from 2008 until 2014. Huttema did not seek another term, while McLean did not earn enough votes in his re-election bid. He came in eighth of 17 candidates, with six elected. “Thank you for the work you have done in this community,” Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz, when offering tribute to outgoing Coun. McLean. “Personally the thing that inspires me most about you is having a voice for those who are marginalized the way you do,” she said.

Councillor Huttema for the incredible work on Chilliwack’s downtown, on the rural issues committee and the agricultural advisor y committee,” Gaetz said. “Having a farmer on council has been very beneficial and we have all been grateful for his knowledge of the industry.” Coun. Stam remembered how challenging it was, only 37 days after Huttema was elected, that Chilliwack froze up solid before a rapid melt and heavy rainfall in 2008, causing much of Greendale to flood. They’ll miss Huttema’s “calm reassurance” and quiet wisdom, and Stam thanked him for his generosity of time. “You are gentle in your giant personality,” added the mayor, thanking him for leading with “graciousness and integrity.”

Meal challenge hopes to fill food bank shelves

The Nominations and Election Committee is seeking Vancity members to ﬁll three director positions in the 2015 election. Each position is for a three-year term, commencing after the Annual General Meeting on Thursday, May 7, 2015.

Speciﬁc details about running for election can be found in the Candidates’ Package posted on our website, vancity.com. If you require a hard copy of this information, please contact the Governance Department at 604.877.7595.

She appreciated the leadership he demonstrated with the establishment of the Chilliwack Connect event, and kind words offered to everyone. “It was heartwarming to come to the event and watch you interacting with the people in need,” she said. The mayor said she loved the fact he didn’t just serve passively, and thanked him for doing the “humble” work. “You rolled up your sleeves,” she said noting his time with Chilliwack Hospice Society and other contributions. Councillors were reminded of both of their varied committee roles and chairmanships held, and fond memories shared. Huttema was called “poignant, wise and insightful,” as someone who led without fanfare. “I want to personally thank

challenge proved that people were more apt to donate when challenged publicly. “The idea is to remind people that most of us are very fortunate that we have nutritious food,” Myers said. “We take snapshots of our meals using our iphones and post the photos on social media sites accessed by our brand new computers, but not many of us take the time to consider that there are people going hungry right here in our own communities.” It doesn’t matter if people take photographs of restaurant plates, or homemade meals, as long as they tag, share and donate. “It is really a social experiment. I don’t know where it will lead,” Myers said. “Whatever happens, we had nothing to lose. I hope it encourages people to be aware of what’s happening in their own communities. “And a little extra food on those shelves isn’t a bad thing either.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Thank you to all residents who came out to vote Nov 15. I truly appreciate your confidence in me by re-electing me to a seat on the Chilliwack Board of Education. I had the privilege of running with several very talented candidates who all showed their commitment to Public Education by running for office. I would like to congratulate all the re-elected incumbents and newcomer Paul McManus on his election to the Board. I am looking forward to working with this new team to meet the needs of our Schools. I would also like to thank all of my friends and supporters who helped make my campaign a success. Thanx for talking to your friends and neighbors, writing posts on Social Media, posting signs on your lawns, and providing me with advice. I look forward to the challenges that lie ahead and I will do my very best to be responsive to your needs by striving to create an open, transparent and communicative Board.

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

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

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

Should we raise a glass to relaxed liquor laws?

Progress

R AESIDE

Booze will flow more freely and conveniently beginning April 1, 2015. That’s when the province will be loosening its liquor rules, allowing government liquor stores to provide chilled beer and wine and more of them to be on open Sundays. In addition, grocery stores will be allowed to sell liquor, albeit in a store-within-a-store system, while private liquor stores will be allowed to purchase cheaper alcohol from the BC Liquor Distribution Branch, making them more competitive. Where is all this going to lead? While the province sees these changes as a way of liberating market forces, others may fear that people will over-consume if they can get wine, beer and distilled spirits too easily. Alcohol consumption has been rising for years, making British Columbians at greater risk for alcohol abuse, a problem with potentially high costs to the provincial health care system. Along with more alcohol options, the government should also ramp up its education to make people aware of what constitutes healthy alcohol consumption and consider promoting alternatives with lower alcohol content while raising taxes on stronger coolers, beer and flavoured drinks. ~ Black Press

L OCALLY G LOBAL

What comets can teach us about our Earth Did comets contribute chemical building blocks to a young Earth that led to life on our planet? It’s one of many questions the scientists at the European Space Agency based in Darmstadt, Germany, wanted to find out when they designed and launched the Rosetta spacecraft carrying the fridge-sized Philae lander. After a 10-year journey of more than six billion kilometres that began on March 2, 2004, the 100-kilogram Philae landed kind of bumpily on Comet 67P/ Chur yumov-Gerasimenko on November 12 to the elation of people around the world. The comet itself is a pretty tough bull’s eye to hit. It’s only about four kilometres in diameter with a head, a body, and a neck giving it a rubber ducky outline. And it’s travelling at speeds up to 135,000 kilometres

an hour. Given the orbits it has taken the Rosetta to catch up with the comet, communications between Earth and the orbiter had to be planned days or weeks in advance and the furthest away the orbiter went was a billion kilometres. It could take anywhere from 30 Margaret to 50 minutes for EVANS signals to travel between Ear th and Rosetta. But on Philae’s landing, excitement almost fizzled to near panic as scientists realized that the lander had bounced its way into a rocky shadow that deprived of life-giving solar energy to keep its battery charged. But even in the few days it

kept working, Philae has beamed back to Earth data to show that it has already detected organic molecules. The compounds were picked up by a German-built instrument designed to ‘sniff’ the comet’s very thin atmosphere. But exactly what compounds it has found haven’t been analyzed yet. The whole Rosetta venture has proven to be an engineering marvel up there with the Apollo landings of 1969 and the 1970s. Philae’s landing is the first soft touch-down on a comet. Philae is named after an island in the Nile River. While its unexpected bounce landed it in some sort of high-walled trap that cut off battery-charging sunlight, it still functioned according to plan for the first 60 hours of programmed power. Knowing how precarious this comet-landing mission might be,

Progress

scientists set up a program of data collection called First Science Sequence to cover off a worstcase scenario. That meant that each instrument on the lander would get its turn at collecting its own specific set of science data it had been programmed for. They all functioned brilliantly before the batteries went dormant, waiting for the comet’s travel and trajector y to realign sunlight onto the batteries once more. It’s possible, by August of next year when the comet has moved much closer to the sun in its orbit, that Philae’s solar panels will receive enough light to wake it up and get it working again. All it needs is a few days of sunlight to get it gathering data once more. It takes close to half an hour for data to travel from the comet to Earth. The digital radio signal travels at the speed of light (299,338 kilometres per second).

But this isn’t simple radio stuff. The data coming back has to be clean and uncontaminated. So the signal is manipulated and compressed using advanced mathematics. The ambitious project was very much an international effort involving luminary minds from 15 countries including Canada. SED Systems in Saskatoon build three ground stations used by the ESA to communicate with the Rosetta spacecraft. SED’s three ground stations are located in Western Australia, Argentina, and Spain. Each one has a 35-metre antenna. The Ottawa-based ADGARHEA Group provided MOIS software to support all the complex procedures and command sequences required throughout the Rosetta mission. How cool is all this stuff?

Responsible for more than ourselves On Sunday afternoon my daughter was nearly struck by a white SUV-style car as she crossed with the lights at Vedder and Briton. The car was turning left onto Vedder from Spruce. She had a split second to notice the driver: young, female, on her cellphone and not looking forward at the road. This driver also barely missed sideswiping a vehicle waiting for the light in the opposite lane. That driver exited his car and yelled as did several witnesses. The SUV drove away quickly.

About four years ago, my daughter was actually struck by a vehicle as she crossed Vedder by the old UFV campus. She was using a marked crosswalk with the lights when a woman pulled out of the adjacent gas station and struck her, knocking her to the road. The driver checked her rearview, then picked up speed and drove away. She was on a cellphone. It is difficult to say in words just how angry I am at people like these two who are so selfabsorbed that they have forgot-

ten (it would seem) just what is really important in this life. I would love to be able to tell them to their faces: Human life is more important than whatever it is you are so involved with in yours that you feel the need to break the law and to risk taking a life so that you can stay connected. It is time – collectively – that we GET OVER OURSELVES and our hyper-inflated ideas of our own importance and start once again recognizing our responsibilities to others and to our true place in this world. Gail Hampson

Gasoline prices prompt suspicion OK, I give up. With the price of crude in a nosedive for months, what possible justification or explanation do the oil companies offer for the insane spikes in the retail price of gasoline? I’m not aware of any refineries blowing up or any pipelines springing a leak that cut off the crude for refining. It’s become a week-

ly tradition (usually on a Wednesday or Thursday) to hike the price anywhere from 8 to 11 cents a litre. It’s like the stations have all hit a blackjack at the casino. All that fuel in their tanks that has suddenly jumped in value and the profit margin has exploded. At least they used to try and offer an excuse

(however implausible) for the sudden price jumps and the long drawn out reduction of that same price to where it was previously. Now it’s clear that this is nothing but blatant profit taking. While collusion is unwaveringly denied and our government inquiries claim they can’t prove it, you only have to look at the

“coincidence” of how different companies miles apart all jump to the same price minutes apart. Who determines that all the gas prices are going to be exactly the same new higher price at the same time? It’s a good thing I don’t believe in conspiracy theories. F. Forshner

the action heroic. “A lot of bravery and selflessness on the part of all the officers involved went into saving this woman’s life,” said spokesperson Const. Tracy Wolbeck. On Thursday, the government of British Columbia agreed. “The depth of commitment, clear-headedness and skill demonstrated by these officers - in perilous moments, and over longer periods of service - are examples to their colleagues and those who aspire to policing and other first responder roles,” said Attorney General and Minister of Justice Suzanne Anton about all this year’s recipients. “Officers like these directly contribute so much to the safety of our communities, and their accomplishments are worthy of recognition and celebration.”

cian, Dr. Cherniwchan will begin his presentation with accurate information about the Ebola disease and how it’s spread, then build to look at the world’s response and over-reaction to the current outbreak. Beginning at 11:45 a.m. in the atrium, Dr. Cherniwchan’s hourlong presentation is titled ‘De-MYTH-stifying Ebola and other Infectious Diseases’ and reaches beyond basic scientific principles to examine the concept of social responsibility related to infectious disease in general, and influenza in particular. UFV associate professor of nursing Shelley Canning says organizers chose both the subject and the speaker to bring a local expert’s voice to a health topic that has held the world’s attention for many months.

“Dr. Cherniwchan is an acknowledged expert in the fields of travel medicine and infectious diseases and is passionate about sharing his expertise within both the UFV and local communities,” says Canning. “In light of the devastating nature of the outbreaks in Africa it is important to have access to accurate information that can help to dispel the myths.” Dr. Cherniwchan has worked as a physician in Abbotsford and Chilliwack the past 24 years. He is both a pharmacist (UBC ’87) and physician (McGill ’91). The fall instalment of UFV’s Faculty of Health Sciences Speaker Series will be followed by an annual winter presentation in early 2015.

RCMP members of the Upper Fraser Valley Regional Detachment will once again volunteer their time to support community food banks. The annual Stuff the Cruiser event will take place on Saturday, Dec. 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Save-On Foods (both Salish Plaza and Vedder Plaza), and Cooperâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Food (Garrison). RCMP members will volunteer their time in Red Serge and, in partnership with community grocery stores, seek contributions of non-perishable food items or cash donations. A marked police vehicle will be at each location and the goal is to fill it to the brim. The Stuff the Cruiser event has become a major contributor for the food banks which are administered by the Salvation Army in Chilliwack. In 2013, the event resulted in donations totalling more than $23,000 and a total of 18,413 pounds of food. For further information please contact the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611.

All eyes on the eagles The 19th annual Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival returned to Harrison Mills on the weekend. It’s the world’s largest gathering of bald eagles. Although about 1,000 to 1,500 eagles are viewed during the festival, the numbers peak in mid-December. On Dec. 11, 2010, a world record was made when 7,362 bald eagles were counted in a two-kilometre section of the Harrison River.

Subaru Imprezas on Okanagan ice and snow It’s all about gaining traction for Subaru, not just on the pavement but also in terms of sales. For Subaru, traction and sales are related. When Subaru decided to switch its entire lineup of cars to all wheel

drive (AWD) back in 1995, the company never looked back. (That was also the year Subaru introduced the Outback sport wagon.) Back then, sales then were roughly 4000 per year and this year Subaru is on track to sell over

40,000 units, an impressive accomplishment. In order to highlight Subaru’s latest Impreza compact sedan and hatchback, Subaru needed a location that could show off the vehicle on dry roads and in winter condi-

tions. The Okanagan was chosen for the wonderful twisting roads through wine country but also snow-on-demand at Big White Ski Resort and the setting was perfect. Looks: Earlier this year Subaru introduced the WRX,

higher performance, Imprezabased sedan to accolades for that vehicle’s handling, power and design. It could be argued that Subaru has refreshed the outside of this new 2015 Impreza with WRX “light”. The new front grille, headlamps,

air intakes and wheel options all make a much bolder statement. Sold a sedan or hatchback, both cars now have a sharper, more defined look. But Subaru also wanted to make a statement with what cannot be seen, the way

the car is put together. One of the main areas of focus was sound insulation and reduced cabin noise. Thicker front and side glass is now used, along with wheel-well sound insulation, thicker door seals and under carpet baffling. Not the kind of advancements that get noticed initially but they are welcome. Inside: The Okanagan is one of those spots that is defined by summer; it’s all about the hot, dry lakeside vacation. But after three days, in and around Kelowna, experiencing the first blast of arctic air, the place is just as magical at this time of year. Stories of the wine pickers getting ready for the ice-wine harvest makes it as appealing and delicious as ever. The Impreza had a similar one-dimensional attitude before this new model arrived. Yes, it is one of the most practical designs, with big doors that make getting in and out a breeze, the huge windows make outward visibility impressive but the car lacked sophistication. For 2015 Subaru has done a good job of remedying the situation. The radio head unit now looks like a polished, integrated feature, replacing what looked like an afterthought. There is a standard 6.2-inch unit or a larger 7-inch model for cars equipped with navigation. A backup camera is now standard equipment along with Bluetooth connectivity and heated seats are standard on all but the base model. Drive: Driving over ice covered roads on the way to Big White Ski Resort and then getting to push the Impreza as hard as it would allow on a snow covered handling course, gives a great sense of confidence in the cars AWD system. Traction is not an issue, the limit is really only defined by the type of tires the car is equipped with. For ultimate bite, a good set of winter tires along with the AWD system is impressive.

engine is carried over from the last car but now it is a Partial Zero Emissions Vehicle (PZEV), and the Environmental Protection Agency in the United States claims it is the “cleanest gas car on the market”, helping to reduce smog-forming pollutants. Other changes include a re-worked suspension and steering. The springs and dampening have been adjusted to reduce bouncing over big bumps and the steering ratio is quicker. This along with the much quieter interior makes this a good cruising car but the steering lacks feedback and under hard cornering, the car tends to under steer. The engine too is best suited for cruising; climbing mountain roads strained it at times. The good news is that enthusiast drivers have the excellent WRX as an option. Verdict: The 2015 Impreza is all about small changes to an already good car. The continuously variable transmission (CVT) now has a thicker casing for quieter operation and it now features pre-set steps to help mimic a conventional automatic. And manual transmission owners will be pleased to know that all trim levels can be equipped with a stick, but it is only a 5-speed. On the top two trim levels the Impreza can be equipped with EyeSight, Subaru’s collision mitigation system that can detect objects and pedestrians and will brake the car to a stop if the drive takes no action. This has proven to be popular with drivers and is something typically found in more expensive cars. What Subaru has not changed is the price. Starting at $19,995 and topping out at $30,295, there is a trim and price for many Canadian buyers. The added backup camera, improved interior and the bonus of a PZEV engine is all just an added benefit that should help Subaru get even more traction with buyers. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

WHO SERVICES YOUR MERCEDES?

Going green to the C-Max can be costly economic terms, it will take years of fuel savings to bridge that investment gap. If you go for a plug-in that offers emission free driving on electric power only for varying stretches of road, you are likely looking at a ten grand premium on top of the pure hybrid sticker price. Forgive me, if you’ve heard this from me before but the point I’d like to make here is that I’ve been telling you this version of the story for the past ten years. The sad fact is that the consumers are not warming to green cars in sufficient numbers for the manufacturers to remove the sting from the sticker price. Green car sales, if I can lump

By Keith Morgan

To plug in or not to plug in, that is the question faced by the well-heeled, nobler in mind, kind of person, who is determined to go green with the next car purchase. Forgive me for mashing up the words of my old ex-Pat mate, Will Shakespeare, but reducing one’s carbon footprint is not easy on the pocket book in spite of the fuel savings on offer by “doing the right thing.” Whichever model you plump for from any of the leading hybrid manufacturers you are going to pay a premium in the thousands over the equivalent standard gas powered model.

them together for the purpose of simple comparison, still account for less than 5 percent of the market. You can’t blame the manufacturers for this situation. They have showed a willingness to continue subsidizing these products and have promoted the heck out of them. There are positive signs in increasing sales and the continuously improving efficiency of these machines. However, as of today, they are still a steeply priced option for the likes of thee and me. Especially, as the provisionally funded rebates are now dead. Yes, you drive one away for less than $30,000 in some cases but that same sum can

achieving up to 40 kilometres of driving in electric drive but I managed a little over 30 most days by judicious use of the right foot, in terms of acceleration and regenerative braking. Ford talks of a fuel economy equivalency of about 1.9 L/100 km/h under ideal conditions. When does that the latter ever happen? – However, I figure I could show an equivalency of around 3 L/100 km/h and perhaps better if I got the chance to get used to how the electric drive and gas engine work to together. In fact, there’s evidence through testing that early adopters of the plug-in hybrid technology that they began achieving far greater efficiency and longer pure electric driving after about six months’ ownership.

buy a lot more car elsewhere, many of them powered by very miserly four-cylinder power plants. A case in point is the Ford C-MAX, available here either a pure hybrid or plug in – the latter bears the Energi name. The base hybrid version sells for $26,499 and its Energi sibling for $35,999. I’ve only driven the hybrid briefly so I won’t comment too much on its prowess. I can tell you that it is a worthy alternative to the Toyota Prius lineup the V (for versatile), it being the best comparison at $27,480 I’m going to dwell a little more here on the Energi plugin version as I spent more time at the wheel. For the first part of the week, I ran it purely as a hybrid and averaged about 5.3 L/100 km/h. That’s higher than advertised but to be fair my trips were mainly in the city, short trips and through some ghastly weather. What a revelation when I plugged it in each night – 7 hours charges it up on the regular 120-volt outlet (2.5 hours on a 240-volt charging station). There are boasts of

In C-MAX Energi, the system offers battery charge and charge point distance information as well. Both versions of C-MAX are equipped with SmartGauge® with EcoGuide, an information system allowing drivers to see fuel economy readings on the instrument panel. The technology enables motorists to monitor their driving behavior and its effects on vehicle efficiency.

Chiefs pound Prince George Gainingg ground g The Chilliwack Chiefs got back on the winning track Wednesday night, taking two points from a Mainland division rival. The Chiefs allowed just 11 shots the entire game, beating the Prince George Spruce Kings 5-1 on home ice. Chilliwack snapped a three game losing skid while also gaining ground in the race for first place. The Chiefs improved to 13-7-0-1, moving within two points of PG (14-9-0-2) for top spot in the division. Brandon Potomak had the only goal in an opening period that featured a ton of power plays but only eight combined shots on goal. Chilliwack’s penalty kill was particularly busy, with four successful kills. Potomak’s goal came on a Chiefs power play. From the right faceoff circle, the Aldergrove native snapped a shot into the leg of PG defender Stephen Penner. Potomak followed the shot, stepping past Penner and firing the puck past Spruce Kings keeper Jesse Jenks for his second of the year. Shots on goal favoured Chilliwack 6-2 through 20. Potomak was in the mix again as the Chiefs doubled their lead 12:18 into period two. With Chilliwack on another power play, he dished the puck to Jordan Kawaguchi. From the right hash-marks, the second year forward snapped a top-shelf glove side shot past Jenks for his eighth of the year. But, the visitors would cut into the lead before the middle frame was done.

The key stat right now is that Chilliwack has played four few games than Prince George, writes Jacob Bestebroer

Luke McColgan (left) and goalie Aidan Pelino watch the puck sail past and clang off the right post during BCHL action Wednesday night. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

With 5:12 to go, Chilliwack was hemmed in its zone by an aggressive forecheck. Rookie D-man Darren Rizzolo tried to clear the puck straight up the middle, but Adam Clements knocked it down. His long-distance wrist shot found the top corner over the glove of Chiefs netminder Aidan Pelino, getting PG within one. Shots on goal favoured Chilliwack 19-8 through 40. Potomak’s big night continued 3:42 into period three. Attacking in transition, the 19 year old flew over the Prince George blueline, blew past flatfooted Sprucies blueliner

Raymond Grewal and swooped toward the net. Potomak pulled the puck to the forehand as he cut across the goal-mouth, tucking it past Jenks to give his team some breathing room. Chilliwack’s fourth goal came at 6:43. Darting down the left wing, Tipper Higgins tossed a backhand shot on net. Jenks bobbled the puck, letting it drop into the blue paint. Kurt Black crashed the crease, and while falling down pushed the puck past Jenks for his eighth of the year. The final goal came on another power play, with rookie defenceman Dennis Cholowski blasting

a shot from the left point. Rory Bell got his stick on it, deflecting the puck past Jenks to wrap up the scoring. The three stars were Potomak (first), Cholowski (second) and Kawaguchi (third). The Fortis BC Energy Player of the Game was Chilliwack’s Ryan Bowen. The Chiefs are on the road Friday night, but finish the weekend with back to back home games. The Coquitlam Express are in town Saturday night for a 7 p.m. start. The Salmon Arm Silverbacks visit Prospera Centre Sunday for a 5 p.m. start.

Replacement found for departed Datz The Chilliwack Chiefs have found a new backup, acquiring 19 year old David Poirier from the Central Canadian Hockey League’s Brockville Braves. The Braves are the same team the Chiefs sent Mitchell Datz to last week after the goaltender requested a trade. Future considerations were the return in each situation, making this, essentially, a straight-up swap of netminders. Poirier struggled in his time with the Braves. A six-foot 170 pound native of Kirkland, QC, he appeared in 17 games. Poirier won eight with a goals-against average of 4.04 and a save percentage of .864.

After a weekend road trip that saw the Chilliwack Chiefs lose three games in three days against Island division opponents, Wednesday’s W ednesday’s 5-1 win over the visiting Prince George Spruce Kings was huge. The win got the Chiefs back into second place in the Mainland Division, two points back of the Spruce Kings. The key stat right now is that Chilliwack has played four fewer games than Prince George. A few takeaways from Wednesday’s W ednesday’s game. Brandon For ward Potomak is a very important player for this team. It was jjust ust his fourth game since jjoining oining the Chiefs last month as he’s had a couple of injuries to deal with. He scored twice and added an assist Wednesday. W ednesday. His two biggest assets are skating and work ethic. He’s also got good offensive instincts. Put those three things together and yyou’ve ou’ve got yourself an impact player. The Chiefs allowed just 11 shots on goal in the game. I can’t remember a total that low. I was only able to go back and check the last three seasons prior to this one and the lowest shots against total I found was 22 on October 22nd, 2011. You’d think they would w ould have won that game but they didn’t. The game was w as a 7-5 loss in Victoria. Bryton Udy was Chilliwack’s goaltender that night. It’s never easy to predict how a 16 year old will do in his first year of junior hockey. Of all the things I thought Chiefs forward Ryan Bowen would w ould be able to do this season, penalty killing never crossed my mind. He’s

been on the number one penalty kill lately, including Wednesday, and he’s been very good at it. He’s a talented player offensively so to see him excel at this partt of the game at this stage in his career bodes well for his future. Back to the Chiefs recentt road trip. Watching the Chiefs lose 10-2 in Nanaimo Sunday, I got to wondering how the Chiefs have done over the years in that same situation. So I did what any lover off obscure stats would do - I looked it up. Since the team’s first yearr in Chilliwack (1990-91), including the five seasons the team played in Langley, the Chiefs have done the three games in three days on the Island (for these purposes Powell River is counted as being on the Island) thing 37 times. For whatever it’s worth the Chiefs record in the final games of those trips is 13-24. They’ve also played fourr games in four days on the Island four times and surprisingly, they’ve gone 3-1 in those final games. Next up is another busy y weekend for the Chiefs with three games in 72 hours. It starts with a road game against the Coquitlam Express Friday night. The two teams will meet again Saturday night at Prosperaa Centre before the Chiefs host the Salmon Arm Silverbacks Sunday for a 5 p.m. game. All tickets for Sunday’s game are just $6 and fans are invited to skate with the team following the game. Fraser Valley Party Rentals will also be on site with one of their bouncy tents.

Former Chilliwack Chief netminder Mitch Gillam has taken the reins for the Cornell men’s hockey team this year. He is off to a solid start. Last Friday night the former BCHL allstar stopped 23 of 24 shots, backstopping the Big Red to a 2-1 overtime win over Clarkson. Back between the pipes Saturday, Gillam had a much worse outing. The Ontario native yielded four goals on 16 shots before giving way to backup Hayden Stewart in a 4-2 loss to the St. Lawrence Saints. That was the first shaky outing of the season for Gillam. Though his early season record is 1-3-1, he sports a save percentage of .944 and the loss to the Saints was the first game in which he gave up more than one goal. Gillam’s crew faces Yale and Brown in NCAA action this week. One of Gillam’s former Chilliwack teammates, Mathieu Tibbet, had two goals Saturday as his Merrimack Warriors thumped

Basketball Falcons find bench boss The Sardis Falcons will play basketball this fall, with two men stepping forward to guide the senior boys team. After a Progress article came out last Friday, Sardis athletic director Brad Geary got more than 15 phone calls and emails from potential coaches. “They varied from the inexperienced to the well-experienced, but the common theme was that they loved basketball and wanted to see the team succeed this

year,” Geary said. “This made the decision particularly difficult.” Geary finally settled on Harvey Adrian and Martin Giesbrecht. They ran the team through a practice Tuesday night and have less than a week to prep for the Nov. 24 exhibition opener. “Harvey and Martin bring a wealth of basketball, business and life experience and are community leaders,” Geary noted. “This group of boys will benefit greatly from their coaching.”

Kyle Graves, who coached the team the last five years before stepping aside for workrelated reasons, has offered to lend a hand when he can. Cam Van Klei, Trevin Rogers and Dave

Thank You!

Chilliwack rower excels Chilliwack’s Kyle Krahn and Coquitlam’s Stephen Wall turned in a solid performance, representing the University of the Fraser Valley at the RBC National Rowing Championships, held Nov. 7-9 on Elk Lake in Victoria. The national regatta brings together the fastest rowers from each province. Krahn and Wall were selected to represent B.C. in the open men’s pairs. The Cascades duo made their way through the heats, repechage and semifinals to qualify for the C final, where they finished in fifth place in a time of 6:57.9. UFV rowing coach Liz Chisholm said that qualifying for the C final was a noteworthy accomplishment, considering most of the competitors in the A and B finals were Olympic-calibre athletes. The duo was seeded second heading into the C final, but battled changing wind conditions and ended up fifth. “Our guys had a fantastic repechage and semifinal on Saturday,” Chisholm said. “I was really excited that they made a nice placing in the C final. They got progressively faster, as you do when you’re racing those high-level athletes.” “It’s a huge experience leap for them, and to actually hit the marks that qualified them for selection into that event is a big step. They were so excited afterwards with what they could bring back to their crew, and their own development as well.” See ufvcascades.ca

Shepherd will also help out. “We are all excited for the upcoming season, and thanks to all those members of our community who stepped up and contacted me,” Geary said.

Each of you contributed in some way to this international campaign to raise awareness about domestic violence.

Black Press The UFV Cascades basketball programs knew that their involuntary placement in the Explorer division of the Canada West this

season would produce some odd circumstances for their top-tier teams. Still, it would have been hard to foresee a moment when, after winning four straight games, neither the men’s nor women’s coach would have a smile on their face. It’s not that UFV womens’ coach Al Tuchscherer isn’t happy with a perfect 4-0 record, but he’s well aware of how far his teams is from where it needs to be if they want to be successful in the new playoff format,

and consequently the work that needs to be done between now and February. Tuchscherer’s crew won 83-57 on Friday and 81-57 on Saturday in their home opener against the UNBC Timberwolves, yet shot under 40 percent from the field in both games. On Friday the Cascades had trouble both creating quality opportunities and distributing the ball, despite out-scoring their opponents in three of the four quarters. “It’s hard to get a team to play how you want them to play,” said Tuchscherer. “We do some okay things, but we’re a long, long way from playing how we want to play. We don’t share the ball as much as I want us to. We don’t defend how I want us to. It’s getting better, but we have a long ways to go.” Of course, the simple fact that UFV comfor tably controlled both games is hard to ignore, especially since last year’s national bronze medal-winning squad often had trouble putting away their

conference opponents. Tuchscherer attributes this intensity to his young team’s hunger for victory. “When you have a veteran team, they tend to look to the next opponent, whereas this team looks at what’s right in front of them because every game is important and every game is an opportunity to prove themselves.” The Cascades enjoyed some impressive numbers on Saturday from Chilliwack native Sarah Wierks (21 points, 11 rebounds) and Nataliia Gavryliuk (17 points). Celeste Dyck, who has taken over point guard duties for UFV this season, put together 17 points and five assists. “I’ve always been a pass first and score second player,” said Dyck, who also had 12 points and five assists on Friday, “so I’m always looking for that extra pass. I love to get assists more than points.” Dyck spent four seasons playing behind Canada West all-star Aieisha Luyken, and is now adjusting to significantly expanded responsibilities as a senior leader on the roster. Her stability and playmaking were evident on the floor against the Timberwolves as she helped provide cohesion to a squad that is still trying to find its identity. “I have to be a leader and I have to be vocal on the court,” she said. Dyck, along with fellow veterans Wierks and Gavryliuk, will be critical to the Cascades success this year.

Hodgins Dorothy, Helen

DENMAN, Harold Edward Jr.

Bush Violet, Katerina With much love and regret we announce the peaceful passing of Violet Katerina Bush (nee Enander) on Monday, November 17, 2014 in Chilliwack B.C. at the grand age of 89. Vi was predeceased by her husband Major Lloyd Jack Bush, Queens Own Rifles, 2nd Battalion (ret.), her son Gregory, sisters Elsie, Marjorie, Betty and Hazel, and brother Bert. She is survived by her children Richard Bush and Kathryn Bush (Yvan Teasdale), grandchildren Katrina, Jacqueline, Adam, Christopher and Denis, great grandchildren Justin, Nicholas, Aiden and Sierra, and several nieces and nephews. Vi was a homemaker in the fullest sense of the word, an excellent baker and cook she dedicated herself to providing a loving home life for her family. Born Oct. 18, 1925 in Roland, Manitoba, Vi was raised on the farm, and as a young woman worked in Winnipeg as a hired girl and at Harmon’s drugstore. Vi and Jack married in 1947. Her life experience then took her from country girl to the wife of a career army officer with all the moves, dress balls and parades that that entailed. While posted in Hemer, Germany, she camped all over Europe with her young family. She was an avid curler, golfer, loved playing and watching baseball and was an excellent stepper in her day. Vi was a loving, loyal, and a true lady of her generation. Family was of import to her and she always kept in touch with her 5 siblings and their families wherever life took her. Many thanks to the Fraser Health Authority Home Support and private workers who allowed Vi to stay in her own home. Remembrance services will take place in early summer 2015 in Winnipeg at a date to be announced. In lieu of flowers please donate to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Henderson’s Funeral Homes & Crematorium in care of arrangements, 604-792-1344. www.hendersonsfunerals.com

Born in Montreal on May 6, 1915, Dad almost lived to reach 100. He died on Nov. 13 at the Eden Intermediate Care Home. Harold is survived by his daughter, Laney (John) Campbell, Ruth (Trevor) McIntyre and son Ron, and their families. His wife, Betty, predeceased him in 1995. One of his proudest achievements was as a founding director of the QueenswayCarleton Hospital in Ottawa. It all started at his kitchen table when a small group gathered around the family table & began the work to build a muchneeded new facility. For his work he became an honorary director for this hospital. The family would like to thank all of the staff at the Eden Intermediate Care Home for the tremendous care that they provided for Dad. A celebration of Dad’s life will take place in Perth, Ontario in the spring. CLEAN OUT YOUR CLOSETS! bcclassified.com 1-866-575-5777

his ball landed. During his golfing prime he achieved 3 holes in one. Steve was stationed in England during the war and spoke fondly of the family with whom he stayed. He also visited his sons in Jakarta, Singapore, South Africa and Florida. In his last years he was mostly content to enjoy walks, coffees and meals with the dear friends whose help allowed him to live independently and at home right to the end. Helen was the love of his life and he was completely devoted to her. Together they created a vibrant family, successful business and wonderful collection of friends. They worked hard, played hard and always had time to help others. Steve moved the family to Saskatoon in 1968 so Helen could have better hospital care and he would have more time to help her. After Helen passed away in December 1982, Christmas became a solemn occasion for remembering her. An avid athlete he played championship level hockey, base ball, golf, curling and bowling. He shared and passed on his love for sports as coach and instructor, willing to help anyone who was willing to give 100%. It was doing the best you could that counted! Steve loved the game of hockey. He played as a young man and as a senior, coached as a father, and always followed NHL games knowledgeably and passionately. His family knew not to call him during the game!

PERSONALS

Steve Metka Steve Metka passed away in his 94th year on Nov 12, 2014 in Chilliwack, BC. He was born in Sterling, AB on Jan 7, 1920, second youngest in a family of fourteen brothers and sisters, all who predeceased him. He was also predeceased by his wife Helen (Partaik) and his eldest son Joseph (Rhonda). He is survived by his son Robert (Shirley) and three granddaughters; Austin Metka, Rachael Metka and Lee Daly. Steve was only five when his father died. His mother and older siblings worked hard to provide for the family through the dirty thirties in Moose Jaw, SK. When the country was in need, Steve and several of his brothers enlisted. He proudly served as a bomber pilot for the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II, flying missions over the English Channel and training new pilots. Steve never lost his passion for flying even though he was prevented from getting a private license because of shrapnel damage to his vision. The meticulous planning and execution skills developed as a pilot served him his entire life. Not long after his return from the war, Steve married Helen and started his family life in Moose Jaw where the boys were born. After receiving his journeyman papers, he worked as a plumber with Richardson and Dracup rapidly becoming foreman. With their backing, the family moved to Gravelbourg, SK. where he and Helen opened a Marshall Wells store along with a plumbing and heating business. When Helen’s failing health required proximity to hospital care the family moved to Saskatoon where Steve worked in plumbing and heating sales. He retired from Sears not long after Helen’s death in 1982. In 1996, Steve made the move from Saskatoon to Chilliwack alone. He loved to golf and in spite of failing eyesight he continued to play well into his eighties with the help of golf buddies who needed only to tell him where
