Fraser facing fines for delayed surgeries Jeff Nagel Black Press Fraser Heatlh is under fire for ordering its surgeons to reassess patients in an attempt to avoid steep fines for failing to complete surgeries within one year. Leaked documents released by the Canadian Taxpayers Federation show Fraser is already facing fines of more than $2.5 million for 650 scheduled surgeries that were waiting more than a year as of Oct. 9, while another 4,124 surgeries have waited six to 12 months. A Nov. 4 memo to surgeons directs them to begin reassessing patients who have waited more than 40 weeks. “It is imperative for the interest of all, including our patients, that we use every available strategy to avoid penalties,” Dr. Peter Blair, Fraser Health’s medical director for surgery states in the memo, which is also signed by Judith Hockney, Fraser’s executive director for surgery programs. The memo says long waits have eased somewhat, with 4.5 per cent of surgeries now exceeding 52 weeks compared to 10 per cent a year ago. But there are still excessive waits triggering financial penalties, which are levied by the health ministry under its pay-for-performance system. In an interview, Blair defended the decision to reassess patients and rejected suggestions from CTF B.C. director Jordan Bateman that the move is strictly a tactic to skirt fines by either resetting or pausing the waits in long-delayed cases. “What we’re trying to do is remind the surgeon that that patient has been there for 40 weeks and they better be getting them done,” Blair said, adding he’s upset with the CTF accusation. He said the patient doesn’t lose their place in line, nor is their recorded wait frozen to avoid a fine. Bateman argued reassessments are unnecessary and wasteful, accusing Continued: HEALTH/ p7
Search and Rescue officials are warning people to stay back from the murky and turbid Chilliwack-Vedder River. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Heavy rains pose river danger: SAR Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The swollen ChilliwackVedder River this week looked like chocolate milk. That’s when the public should make a point of staying well away from the edge of local creeks and rivers, said Doug Fraser, search manager for Chilliwack Search and Rescue. “It’s a good time to get people thinking,” he said on Wednesday. “The river is raging right now.” The roiling waters of the Chilliwack-Vedder system are common occurrence every fall as the heavy rains return. It’s usually just before the mercury dips below zero on a regular basis. It’s mostly anglers who might
take to the river at this time of year, fishing for the coho and chum which are coming through. But water levels have been rising rapidly, according to the Chilliwack river hydrometric gauge at the Vedder bridge. There were two rainfall warnings this week. Since Tuesday the river has risen more than 70 cm. Correspondingly, the fishermen appear to have been staying away from the riverbanks in the past few days. “I’ve noticed there were very few cars parked by the river this week. I think people get it,” said Fraser. If possible avoid the rivers and creeks in the area, stay back at least 10 metres, and always
wear a PFD. “In terms of fishing, the chances of catching a fish goes way down in these conditions,” he noted. The turbidity and reduced visibility make it hard. Chilliwack SAR is consistently the second busiest search and rescue team in British Columbia, Fraser pointed out. So it makes sense to come out with some prevention messaging for river users right now. SAR officials have studied the team’s callout patterns, to help with prevention and safety. Several fatalities have been reported in past years and rescue officials want to get the word out to prevent more needless drownings or injuries. “We noticed that some of the calls at this time of year are
for fisherman who may have underestimated the power of the water, or walked into a spot and got trapped when the river comes up and they’re unable to return to shore.” People on Chilliwack’s most popular trail, the Vedder Rotary Trail, should also keep an eye on their pets and young children. “If you are on the trail with children, hold them by the hand, and make sure your pets are leashed when the river is raging like this.” Levels should be dropping by late December, but in the mean time, keep and eye out. Continue to pay attention to rain fall warnings and river conditions, the SAR volunteer added. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Newest FVRD director sees promise in new Area H Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Taryn Dixon plans to reach out far and wide as the new Electoral Area H director for Fraser Valley Regional District. “We’re thrilled to have our own electoral area,” she said. She is ready to get to work. “One of my first priorities will be to learn quickly,” said Dixon, with the plan to tap into the vast “knowledge and wisdom” of the electoral area directors’ committee leadership. The newly created Electoral Area H covers Cultus Lake, Lindell Beach, and Columbia Valley, the result of dividing the vast area for-
merly covered by Electoral Area E, which now is contained to the Chilliwack River Valley. Dixon was elected to the Electoral Area H director position in the Nov. 15 FVRD elections, earning 171 votes, compared to Maxwell Newhouse with 131, and 109 for Rolf Soth. “This is the level of government that’s closest to the people,” Dixon said about the local government services of the FVRD. “I am one person. I want to know what’s on their minds.” She’ll be networking with various community groups, and individuals, to assess needs and determine which projects are of interest, and how to bring them to the
larger FVRD board’s attention. “I see my role as increasing the connectivity between all the partner groups,” she said. The splitting of Area E made sense, she figures. “It was a very large geographic area for one person to represent,” she said in an interview with The Progress, adding that the respective needs of the communities are different. Electoral Area H represents 1,784 residents, while Electoral Area E covers about 1,600 residents in the CRV, so it was almost an even split. The creation of the new area is “an opportunity to concentrate” on the concerns of Cultus, Lindell,
and Columbia Valley residents, along with those on the FVRD side of Lumsden road. The areas around C u l t u s , outside of Cultus Lake Park, are under going some rapid development changes, and there may be Taryn Dixon challenges arising. “We’r e embracing the changes that are coming, while ensuring we are being true to the Official
■ P EACE T OGETHER
Community Plans.” They will continue to build positive working relationships with Soowahlie First Nation. How does she her role and work as Electoral Area H director complementing that of Cultus Lake Park Board, and City of Chilliwack? “I see myself as one person on a strong team. There are projects the whole area is working on, through the work of CLASS for example. “The health of Cultus Lake is one of the topics I heard about in every corner of our area. That will pull us together.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Penny Lett blood drive second largest in B.C. Chilliwack blood donors deserve a huge pat on the back. The In Memory of Penny Lett blood drive has not only reached its 2014 goal of 500 units of blood, it has surpassed it. As of Nov. 10, a total of 631 units of blood have been collected by blood donors who signed up to be part of Team Penny through Canadian Blood Services Partners For Life program. Not only that, but the blood drive is currently the second largest in the B.C. and Yukon region. Team Penny is behind only Sikh Nation which has collected 1,096 units of blood.

Two people from Chilliwack have been charged with trying to smuggle methamphetamine chemicals through the Aldergrove border crossing. The border was shut down for about an hour on Sunday night (Nov. 23) after U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers made the discover in a 1994 Pontiac Grand Am. The car arrived at the border around 7 p.m. with a plastic tote tub sealed with plastic wrap containing an unknown liquid and other suspicious materials in the rear seat area. A U.S. customs officer became ill after breathing fumes from the materials. The crossing was shut down in both directions and the officer was rushed to Saint Joseph Medical Center in Bellingham. A Haz-Mat (hazardous materials) team was called in to remove what appeared to be chemicals and equipment used to manufacture methamphetamine. The injured officer was “successfully treated,” the Blaine U.S. Customs and Border Protection office reported. The border was re-opened after about an hour. The two occupants of the car were arrested. On Monday, 41-year-old Calum James Buchanan and 24-year-old Lola Crystal McKay, both from Chilliwack, appeared before a Whatcom County judge on a charge of possession with intent to manufacture. The case is being investigated by the U.S. Homeland Security Border Enforcement Security Task Force and is being prosecuted by the Whatcom County Prosecutor’s Office. “The interdiction of these hazardous chemicals prevents a considerable amount of methamphetamine from reaching the streets of our Nation,” Blaine Area Port Director Kenneth Williams said in a written statement issued Tuesday. “This seizure demonstrates the vigilance of our frontline officers in securing our borders, keeping our communities safe and in protecting our way of life.”

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz (right) and Cathy Healey, who’s Christmas card design was chosen as the city’s official card.
Toads top in city Christmas cards Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The official Christmas card being mailed out from city hall this season is adorned with images of the famous toads of Ryder Lake. They are depicted jauntily crossing the street Abbey Roadstyle in a playful Christmas design by artist Cathy Healey. Healey was in attendance last council meeting to receive a framed edition of her 2014 Christmas card, and a cheque for $250. After receiving a provincial
scholarship for her artwork, she attended Fraser Valley College for Applied and Decorative Arts, Graphic Design and Communication. “I mainly sell my artwork at Art Markets within the Vancouver area, throughout B.C. and over the internet,” she writes in her bio. She’s a busy full-time artist/illustrator who’s lived in Chilliwack for 22 years. “I have also illustrated a number of books over the years. I feel very fortunate to be able to do a job that I love while I stay home to raise my kids.”
Healey’s toad-inspired card design almost tied with last year’s winning design, so it was a “great opportunity” to recognize the art work. “I want to thank you very much for the work you have done, for your beautiful art work,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz at the last council meeting to Healey. City officials did not open up a contest for entries this year because of the timing of the election, and selected Healey’s submission for this year instead. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno
NDP demands audit of Multi-Material BC Opposition says MMBC undermines existing recyclers, depots Jeff Nagel Black Press The NDP Opposition called Wednesday for an independent review of the reformed blue box recycling system now overseen by MultiMaterial BC, arguing the stewardship agency is unaccountable and creating chaos among existing recyclers. Deputy environment critic Gary Holman pointed to Syntal Products, a Saanich plastics recycling plant that shut down in September after MMBC partnered with other processors and left the company with insufficient feedstock. Holman said nonprofit recycling depots on the Gulf Islands are now facing closure and 25 layoffs because the
funding they get from MMBC covers less than a third of the real operating costs. MMBC launched in May to meet the provincial mandate that firms that distribute packaging waste and paper pay the costs of recycling it.
The industry stewardship group is now directly or indirectly in charge of curbside recycling in most of B.C. but continues to face strong local criticism. Holman and NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham are calling for a review of MMBC by B.C.’s Auditor General. “The B.C. government has botched its
overhaul of the recycling sector,” said Popham, who has started an online petition. She said agricultural operations and other businesses are being saddled with excessive fees to handle their packaging, while there’s insufficient accountability over the $100 million a year MMBC will take from businesses. Environment Minister Mary Polak said the system is a significant shift because home owners now no longer pay the costs of recycling paper and packaging through their property taxes. “It is a new program,” Polak told the Legislature. “It will take time to make sure that things are functioning adequately for everyone across the province. But make no mistake. We believe that the people who produce the packaging should pay to get rid of it.”

A new report by the Fraser Institute criticizes long waits for surgery in B.C. and accuses the province of routinely underestimating the wait times it publishes on its website. B.C. patients wait an average of five months for medically necessary elective surgery, according to the annual report by the think tank. It shows the average patient waits 9.5 weeks once referred by a GP until they see a specialist and then another 11.6 weeks from the specialist appointment to surgery. The wait to see the specialist was unchanged in 2014 from 2013, but the wait
from specialist to surgery increased slightly from 10.4 weeks a year ago, according to the report. And the overall wait of 21.1 weeks has more than doubled since 1993. The study examined a wide range of procedures and averaged the wait times. Orthopedic surgery, neurosurgery and plastic surgery had the longest wait times nationally, while medical or radiation oncology had average waits of four weeks or less because cancer patients get high priority. Fraser Institute economist and report lead author Bacchus Barua said the wait times for treatment are “unacceptably high” despite high levels of health care spending.
The findings also show B.C. patients are now waiting longer than they did two years ago for various diagnostic procedures. MRI waits have risen most dramatically, from 12 weeks in 2012 to 20 weeks this year – the longest in Canada – while CT scan and ultrasound waits both rose from four to five weeks over the same period. B.C.’s health ministry publishes estimated wait times on its website, but the report argues those numbers are “inaccurate.” It says the 11.1-week wait time claimed by the ministry for orthopedic surgery as of this spring is mathematically impossible given the number of patients waiting in B.C. then and how fast surgeries were being done, suggesting the real wait would be 16 to 24 weeks longer. “Specialty by specialty, month in and month

out, the median wait figures reported by the ministry remain consistently, and surprisingly, lower than expected given the number of patients waiting and the number of procedures can reasonably be expected to be performed per week.” The disparity between the government’s wait times and Fraser Health’s estimates is in part because the province only counts the wait for surgery as beginning when the hospital receives the operating room booking. The Fraser Institute says that method understates the actual wait because some hospitals only take bookings a few months ahead – wiping longer waits off the official statistics – and excludes any delay between the decision to treat a patient and the formal booking. Health ministr y spokesperson Kristy Anderson said the Fraser Institute survey is based on personal opinion rather than hard clinical data because it relies on surveys of doctors. “We do recognize the challenge,” she said. “Despite increasing the number of surgeries and diagnostic exams, B.C. is facing unprecedented demand for health care services – putting pressure on our wait lists.” B.C.’s total surgical wait is above the national average of 18.2 weeks, according to the study. Patients wait as little as 14 weeks in Saskatchewan and Ontario, but more than 30 weeks in the Maritime provinces. Barua said potential models for wait time reform include other countries with universal health care systems such as Switzerland, the Netherlands and Australia that also offer a parallel private system catering to those who can pay extra. “Simply putting someone on a list is not the same as providing necessary medical care in a timely manner.”

Fraser of “playing games” with patients. “We already know these people need surgery,” he said. “Having a reassessment is throwing money away for no reason instead of doing a surgery or finding an operating room you can open.” But Blair said reassessments are justified, not just to nudge surgeons to get longdelayed patients scheduled but also to ensure the paperwork is in order and that a patient’s condition or medications haven’t changed. If new medical tests are needed and that’s not discovered until the day of surgery, he said, more delay could result. Health Ministr y Terry Lake also defended the reassessments. “People’s conditions
change,” Lake said. “If you’ve got a knee surgery, for instance, it’s important you make sure the need is still there. People may have undergone physiotherapy and reduced the need for surgery in some cases.” He said Fraser is “doing the right thing” by reminding patients to “redouble efforts” to get surgeries scheduled for patients waiting

The gulf of generations
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
Oh, how times have changed. It was just over 60 years ago that work on the Trans Mountain oil pipeline through Chilliwack was nearing completion. It had been the subject of some discussion in the pages of the Chilliwack Progress as the company sought a Pacific outlet for the oil boom just beginning to build in Alberta. But the project was far from controversial. Farmers sat down with company officials and negotiated easements, talked about mitigation, and jousted over compensation. By May 6, 1953 the excitement was almost palpable. “Oil to flow by September,’ read a front page story in The Progress. The project had an estimated price tag of $97 million and would bring local employment to about 150 men. It would initially deliver 150,000 barrels of crude a day to the tank farm under construction in Burnaby. With the completion of additional pumping stations, that flow would increase to 300,000 barrels a day. For company vice-president H. H. Anderson, construction carried an almost mythical nuance. “There are few industrial endeavors which have captured the public’s imagination like this pipeline project,” he told The Progress. “It has the same audacious aspects as the building of a trans-Canada railroad.” Fast forward to 2014 and that romanticism seems hard to find. As protests become increasingly confrontational, most of the employment is going to security officials. (It’s estimated that RCMP costs on Burnaby Mountain are around $100,000 a day.) To be clear, construction hasn’t even started yet. What Trans Mountain is doing on Burnaby Mountain is seeing if its plan to drill through the mountain is more feasible than following its existing right-of-way through the city’s neighbourhoods. But the battle lines are drawn. And they mark more than the difference between the two sides. They demonstrate the gulf between the world view of the 1950s and the attitudes felt by a growingly militant population today. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress
L OCALLY G LOBAL
Time to stop just talking about poverty Somewhere out there, one in five children in British Columbia goes to bed hungry, is dressed in torn or ragged clothing, can’t wash properly because the home has no electricity, can never get warm because they have no heat, is bullied at school because they smell bad, is socially excluded because they look bad, and face the endless day to day emotional cruelty of poverty through no fault of their own. In 1989, the Government of Canada promised to end child poverty by 2000. But by 2012 – just 12 years after their due date not only had no sign of reduction surfaced but there had actually been an increase in B.C.’s child poverty rate from 15.5 per cent based on 118,300 children to 20.6 per cent representing 169,420 children. That’s enough children to fill Prospera Centre 28 times.
Now, a quarter of a century after that promise, one fifth of B.C.’s children live at the same level of poverty as they did in 1989. And, to its disgrace, British Columbia has had the highest poverty rate in Canada for the last 13 years. Why? This month, Margaret First Call: BC Child and EVANS Youth Advocacy Coalition released their annual Child Pover ty Report and the numbers are pretty grim. The organization has been tracking poverty rates in B.C. since 1994 when their first report showed then that one in five children (over 170,000) lived in poverty. Clearly nothing’s changed.
The organization has called on the B.C. government to get over its denial and act by adopting a comprehensive provincial poverty reduction plan with legislated targets and timelines. All other provinces have one except B.C. A poverty reduction plan addresses boots-on-the-ground needs that could include an increased minimum wage, increased welfare and disability rates, an increase in social housing units, expanded essential health ser vices to include services like dental and optical, more accessible post-secondary education, and breaking down the barriers that confound marginalized people. Sure, it’ll cost all of us. But it could also propel thousands of poor families away from the poverty line and toward more rewarding jobs, more disposable income, and a taxation rate that

puts money back in the public purse. Poverty, and all its social and medical ills, is a low-wage story. B.C.’s minimum wage, at $10.25 an hour, is among the lowest in the country and hasn’t been reviewed in nearly three years. Yet the province is one of the most expensive to live in with essential costs – food and rent – ever increasing. It’s bad enough when both parents struggle but in a single parent family the challenges are staggering. According to First Call, 49.5 per cent of children up to 17 years of age live in single parent families compared with 13.2 per cent of children of the same age who live in two-parent families. And for a single parent to be able to work, they must find affordable child care which is virtually impossible unless an accommodating relative lives
close by. First Call’s report stated that, according to the 2011 census, 81 per cent of children in single parent families were in single mother families. Single moms not only typically earn less than men but they also earn less over time than childless women. Yet they face the greatest expenses. Poverty costs all of us. Many studies have shown that poverty is linked to poor health, young people in trouble with the law, more policing, higher rates of incarceration, and higher justice system costs. Poverty can drain community services, put families under high stress, and undermine the cognitive development of young children due to poor nutrition. There was never a more urgent time for a poverty reduction plan.

The Chilliwack
“hang out” place, reality check for many years. Over the years I have met many regulars on this trail going back to the guys who originally rebuild it six or seven years ago. I know one of them as the guy who lost his wife a few years back and was in need of rechanneling his focus and after that started rebuilding the trail. To this day he still walks the trails and makes sure all looks good. Then there is the older gentleman, yes he dresses like a gentleman, with his two dogs (one with only three legs) who goes up three or four mornings to keep him fit to go beyond 90. Another is Kim from Save-OnFoods who makes it her goal to do this seven days a week. Why, you ask? Good question. But for her it’s therapy. One is the eye doc who is close to reaching his goal to run more then 100 times Mt. Thom this year. Then we have the group of bright color dressed, healthy looking moms, taking time to socialize but work out at the same time to be efficient with their free time in the day. Trust me no wildlife will be seen when they come through. Fast, bright coloured and talking. That’s what I love about this trail, everyone comes and climbs up the steps, walks/runs the trails, each with their own reasons but all mostly with the same end results of feeling better after being done. This feel good can be physically (not always the case, the next morning might tell you a different story) but mentally for sure. It was last week standing on top of Mt. Thom over looking The
Fraser Valley in all it glory that I felt saying thanks the original few men who took it upon them self to start rebuilding the trail many years ago. I hiked your old stairs steep stairs and single tracks before the city made it more accessible. Thanks to the City of Chilliwack to take over the care and make it better for all to enjoy. The change was scaring me at first, but now I am at peace at what you created now. I hope the city keeps building great outdoor trails, parks because that’s what we need to keep us sane and it is a great way to show visitors that Chilliwack is a hidden gem – a place I’m proud to call home. For many, this mountain, parks and trails are their therapy on a daily basis and if more people can enjoy this free work-out then Chilliwack will be a better place because of it. Next project I would like to see is a 40/60/80 km bike path around Chilliwack, separate from the road. Yes like in Holland. Can you imagine if we will be the first city to have done this and we have some stunning flat country side to share and to show off. This will open the door to all those baby boomers taking up road biking (fastest growing sport at this time), pay Chilliwack a visit and bring tourist dollars in to town. Mix it up with the farm circle tours and everyone wins. After this Gratitude Challenge I do feel a lot happier and hopefully can maintain this for a while. Remmert Hinlopen
Making a difference a drop at a time On behalf of Canadian Blood Services, I’d like to sincerely thank residents of this community who responded to our recent urgent appeal for blood. When it really counted, you stepped up and helped ensure we could continue to meet patient needs across the country. We are fortunate to have such dedicated donors, some of whom experienced longer dona-
tion times during this critical period. Thanks to you we are no longer in a critical situation. That doesn’t mean our work together stops here; the need for blood is constant. We look forward to welcoming regular donors back again soon. If you’re a new donor we hope you will consider making blood donation a regular part of your life.

Take the gratitude challenge It was Thanksgiving weekend that I was resting my stomach muscles after some turkey when I saw an article about The Gratitude Challenge. Curiosity got the better of me and so I read that this was the new social media fuss that followed the successful water bucket challenge over the summer. List the three or four things you are thankful for on social media for five days and you become a happier person. Who can say no to that! Here is my crack at happiness: Thankful that I’m working at a place where everyone is getting along and most days it’s a fun place to hang out. Respect goes both ways! Thankful for the Rotary Trail along the Vedder River; what a beauty for all to enjoy! Thankful for living in Canada. With what is happening around us in the world, we are so lucky to life in this part of the world. Make sure we keep reminding our self about that and never take it for granted. Thankful to the men early on who repaired the Mt. Thom Trail and the City of Chilliwack for taking over the care now. Last week I was taking another run up Mt. Thom after work. My mind was going in many directions during the day at work and felt the need to refocus my energy straight up the mountain before going home to the family. After spending more or less 57 minutes and 48 seconds on the trail going up and down, (really who is counting), I was back at my car refreshed and feeling good about myself. I have been calling Mt. Thom my stress reliever, health check,

as Wishes Come m t Tru hris e Together, We Make C Many families struggle at Christmas time. It could be due to job loss, unexpected bills, or illness. Jacqueline, the Christmas Sharing Intake Worker, had a special encounter with a young lady, Sara, who was only 33 years old with two young children and recently diagnosed with leukemia. When she came in to apply for a Christmas hamper, she looked extremely tired and wore a wig due to the chemotherapy and radiation treatments. She told Jacqueline that her children were the wind beneath her wings and that they were keeping her strong. Sara had such a fear in her eyes; she said how scared she was that she may not be around to see her little birds fly. With the support of the community, Chilliwack Community Services (CCS) brings smiles to children who would not celebrate the holiday with the same anticipation and joy as most do through their Christmas Sharing program. CCS provides toys, clothing and gifts and the Salvation Army Church provides food. Hamper registration is from 10 am to Noon and 1 pm to 3 pm Monday to Saturday until December 6th at 46144 Yale Road. Anyone receiving income assistance, disability pension, EI benefits, or struggling on a low income is eligible to apply. Please provide picture ID, BC drivers licence or BC ID card along with care cards for family, proof of income and proof of Chilliwack residence when registering. Hamper pick up will take place December 18th and 19th at the Salvation Army Church on 46420 Brooks Ave.

Jeff Nagel Black Press A longtime B.C. health administrator is taking charge of the Fraser Health Authority and its $3.1-billion budget. Michael Marchbank will be the health region’s new president and CEO effective Jan. 2. He replaces former president Dr. Nigel Murray, who resigned in June to return to New Zealand as the province was set to unveil reforms at Fraser. Dr. David Ostrow had been acting as interim CEO since then. Marchbank – who
www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1
will be paid $345,000 a year at Fraser, significantly less than Murray’s total remuneration of $444,000 – is currently president and CEO of the Health Employers’ Association of B.C., which coordinates labour negotiations for the health regions. He has also served as the government’s point man on other issues, most notably over the past year when he was picked to replace school trustees overseeing the B.C. Public School Employers Association in contract bargaining with the B.C. Teachers Federation. At that time, the education minister said the appointment was to let the BCTF bargain directly with the government. Marchbank’s previous positions include
chief operating officer of the Provincial Health Services Authority and president and CEO of the Fraser Valley Health Region in the 1990s before the current health authorities were created. He arrives as Fraser tries to implement recommendations of a gover nment-ordered strategic review, which targeted new ways to cut unnecessary use of hospital emergency rooms in favour of improved primary and community care. A key challenge will be keeping the health region’s spending within governmentapproved increases in the face of a growing and aging population. Fraser Health’s board confirmed the appointment Tuesday. “We believe Michael Marchbank has a very good balance between
a passion to deliver good patient care and a passion to administer an organization and keep it aligned with the budget that the minister have given us,” board chair Karen Matty said. She rejected suggestions he is Victoria’s choice, adding the board chose Marchbank over other contenders due to his extensive experience and local roots. “He is absolutely the board’s man,” Matty said. “He’s got a good knowledge of health care in B.C. He also lives within the Fraser region and at one point worked in Fraser Health.” Matty was appointed board chair last month, replacing Wynne Powell, who had served as interim chair since the province decided in April to remove chair David Mitchell.

Community Chilliwack volunteers invited to join 115th Audubon Christmas Bird Count Precount meeting will be held at Chilliwack Library on Dec. 9 The Chilliwack, 2014-2015 Christmas Bird Count will be held on Dec. 20. Anyone interested in participating is invited to the precount meeting at the Chilliwack Library on Dec. 9 at 6:30 p.m. Those who would prefer to stay indoors on count day are welcome to count birds at the feeder and phone or email the results in. Over 60,000 volunteers across the country will be counting birds from Dec. 14 to Jan. 5. Locally, birders from Audubon and volunteer citizen scientists in B.C. will be part of the regional Binocular Brigade, many rising before dawn to participate in the world’s longest running wildlife census begun in 1900. The 115th Christmas Bird Count is expected to be larger than ever, expanding its geographical coverage and accumulating information about the winter distributions of various birds. Today, volunteers from all 50 states, every Canadian province, parts of Central and South America, Bermuda, the West Indies, and Pacific Islands, count and record every individual bird and bird species seen in a specified area. Christmas Bird Count revealed the dramatic impact climate change is already having on birds, and a disturbing decline in common birds. The many decades of data not only help identify birds in need of conservation action, it also reveals success stories. The Christmas Bird Count helped document the comeback of the Bald Eagle and significant increases in waterfowl populations, both the result of conservation efforts. The journal Nature issued an editorial citing Christmas Bird Count as a “model” for Citizen Science.
Luscious Lashes If you are looking for longer lashes ‘LATISSE’ is your answer.
The count began in 1900 when Dr. Frank Chapman, founder of Bird-Lore (which evolved into Audubon magazine) suggested an alternative to the holiday “side hunt,” in which teams competed to see who could shoot the most small game, including birds. Chapman proposed that people count birds instead. To find more about the Christmas Bird Count, go to http:// bir ds.audubon.or g/ get-involved-christmas-
Let’s face it, how many of us have looked at movie stars and models and envied their lovely lashes? Now you can have those lashes by applying Latisse! Latisse is a prescription medication that is applied to each eyelid daily. Latisse will grow your own natural eyelashes longer, fuller and darker with visible results as early as 8 weeks.

Have you ever wondered why your Christmas cactus always blooms too early or too late for the Christmas season? The simple answer is that you probably don’t have a true Christmas cactus. The most popular cactus in our part of the world is a ‘Schlumbergera truncata’ (or Zygocactus truncatus). This variety is often called a ‘crab cactus’ because of its flat sharp-toothed leaves. Large, long tubed petals can appear anytime from November to March and in many cases, it will bloom twice during this period. The colour range used to include only pink, white, orange and salmon, but extensive hybridization has led to the development of fluorescent pink, scarlet, bright lavender and even yellow. Zygocactus are easy to grow and require minimal care. The most important fact to remember is that this cactus comes from the rainforest, so for its ultimate performance in your home, you must treat it like a rainforest plant. Unlike traditional cacti, ‘Zygos’ love humidity. They also need very well

second crop to flower, it too must be cooled and given less daylight hours prior to the desired blooming time. It’s important to know these details because many folks who have ‘Zygos’ can’t get them to bloom. This is usually because their plants are kept year round in a very warm room and their house lights are left on late at night. To have success, these conditions must be adjusted. The other common problem with these plants is blossom drop. It is important to remember that these cacti need not only well drained soil, but also a humid environment for the blossoms to fully develop. Don’t be afraid to mist them daily with warm water, and it really helps to place them on a saucer with gravel and water underneath. As for watering, give them a good drink of warm water, then let them dry out between waterings. Never keep the soil too wet or too dry. If it is the real Christmas cactus you are after, they can be hard to find. The correct name for this variety is ‘Schlumbergera bridgesii’. They only come in a rosy red colour, and their leaves are smooth and spineless, unlike the Zygocactus. They need the same care as Zygocactus, but they usually bloom bang on for Christmas!

Coming together to help make Christmas bright Jenna Hauck The Progress It takes a community effort of donations, fundraising, and volunteers to bring Christmas to more than 500 families in need each year. Chilliwack Community Services (CCS) has been offering its Christmas Sharing program for 86 years. It all began in 1928 when one woman asked her neighbours to help a fellow neighbour who was struggling at Christmas. Since then, the people of Chilliwack have been selflessly bringing Christmas to families in need. “It’s helping families in the community,” says Karin Massar, fund development officer at CCS. “A lot of people have circumstances, such as sudden job loss, or illness, so they are not able to provide their families with the Christmas they anticipate.” CCS collects toys for all kids, from newborns up to age 17. They also collect donations of new clothes such as pyjamas, winter clothing, infant clothing, socks and hoodies, and cash donations. For each child, a typical hamper will include a large gift (valued at $40-$50), one or two smaller gifts (valued at around $20), pyjamas, stuffie for kids under 10, and if available: hat, mitts, candy, stocking, book, and wrapping paper. CCS works with the Salvation Army, which provides the food portion of the hampers. Each hamper also includes one board game per family. “We do try and include a board game for every family because it’s together time,” says Massar. As always, popular toys like Lego, board games, books, cars and trucks, and super heroes are always a big hit. Themed toys like Hello Kitty, Monster High, and Frozen are also in high demand. But it’s gifts for the older kids that they’re typically low on every year. This year is no different. For teenagers, they are in need of items like arts-and-craft kits, makeup, cosmetics and body washes (for both boys and girls), hair accessories (hair dryers, curling irons, mousse, brushes), ear buds, portable bluetooth speakers, and gift cards for places like

Cottonwood Mall, electronics stores, sporting goods stores, Target, and Walmart. Every year, thousands of toys are donated to the Christmas Sharing program. Unfortunately, since the economic downturn of 2008, the need has gone up and the donations have gone down, says Massar. In 2008, cash donations were at $66,672. The following Christmas, it dropped by nearly half to $35,073. CCS still has not recovered from the downturn as cash donations now average about $43,000 each year. Though they do collect items year-round, November and December are definitely the busi-

est months. People can donate unwrapped gifts at one of the gift drop-off locations (listed below) or at one of the community toy drives. The unofficial kickoff for the program begins each year with the annual Rotary CATT Fund Volleyball Tournament toy drive which took place this past weekend and brought in $27,000 and 370 toys. “They give us our jumpstart big time,” says Lynn Kramer, Christmas Sharing program coordinator. Other upcoming toy drives include the Chilliwack Chiefs Teddy Bear and Toque Toss (Dec. 12 at 7 p.m. at Prospera Centre), the Re/Max Nyda Realty Toy

Drive (Dec. 13 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at IHOP, includes breakfast and a picture with Santa), and the Chances and Murray Group Toy Drive (Dec. 14 from 9 to 11 a.m. at Chances Community Gaming Centre; whoever makes a donation gets breakfast to-go). If you wish to donate but are not sure which age group or gender to buy for, CCS can help. Head to one of the several ‘Angel Trees’ in town. You choose a tag from the tree which will have a child’s gender and age written on it. Buy a gift to suit those requirements and then return the gift, with the tag, to the tree. New this year is their partnership with Scotiabank. The bank
is accepting cash donations until Dec. 15 for the program, and any donations up to $5,000 will be matched by Scotiabank. “The cash donations give us the opportunity to buy the things that haven’t been donated but are necessities like pyjamas, hats, and mitts,” says Massar. The Christmas Sharing program gives families contentment, says Kramer. “It gives them hope in the future but also in the community around them,” she says. “I also think it gives them a great sense of peace, thinking their child may not be getting anything or next to anything for Christmas.” Continued: CHRISTMAS/ p23

Donations needed by Dec. 15 CHRISTMAS from p19 In addition to the donations of toys, clothes, and money, people also donate their time. One hundred local high school students spend hundreds of hours volunteering at the Christmas Sharing warehouse. They make up more than half of all the volunteers every year. “They are the staple. They are the ones we can count on and can do a lot of the work,” says Kramer. “They enjoyed it so much that by the end of their first shift, they’re asking when they can come back for more,” adds Massar. There is also a very stable group of couples who volunteer every year, plus employees from local businesses. This year, CCS expects to be giving gifts to more than 1,000 kids. To get toys into in the hampers this year, they need to be donated by Dec. 15. Those eligible to receive Christmas hampers (on income assistance, disability pension, EI benefits, or struggling with low income) can apply at 46144 Yale Rd. Hours are Mondays to Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. (closed noon to 1 p.m.). The application deadline is Dec. 6. “It’s a delight how many people have the opportunity to do this,” says Kramer. “It’s the closest I get to being Mrs. Santa Claus.” Here are the dropoff locations (*asterisk denotes Angel Tree locations):

It improves on many different levels. For example, for the first time, a four-cylinder Explorer will be available with Ford’s intelligent four-wheel-drive system and will be able to tow up to 3,000 pounds (1,361 kgs.), outperforming the current Explorer equipped with 2.0-litre EcoBoost fourcylinder. Furthermore, this sixth generation SUV – which has been selling for over 25 years and is available in over 100 markets worldwide – will come equipped with ability to park itself, if you happen to select the Platinum edition. The system helps the driver parallel park or perpendicular park using ultrasonic sensors and electric power-assisted steering. Ford Shelby GT350 Mustang A friend of mine named her daughter Shelby. Yes, after the Mustang. She likes cars, too. Aside from it being an icon of North American culture, it also represents how engineers continue to push the envelope in regards to engine development. The GT350 is powered by a unique, high-revving flatplane crankshaft 5.2-litre V8 engine that will produce more than 500 horsepower – the most powerful naturally aspirated Ford production engine ever. No turbochargers necessary! The Shelby GT350 Mustang is the latest in an all-new line of Mustang fastback and convertible models, including the specially designed 50th Anniversary Edition Mustang. Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo As a kid, I would envision myself as a cartoon/video game character. Maybe it’s because I often become so animated. Okay, bad joke, but it’s sometimes nice to see make-believe come to life. The Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept is a car that was designed for the virtual world, and for young ones, or the young at heart to play with in the comfort of their living room. As cool as the Chev Chaparral concept is, I am not sure I’d really love to drive a car that I sit head first in – think of the Olympic sport – the skeleton! And mid-mounted laser, beamed-energy propulsion system might take some getting used to. But heck, it’s worth a go! Regardless, the concept was developed as part of the Vision Gran Turismo project, which celebrates the future of automotive design and innovation. The Chaparral 2X VGT concept is inspired by the innovative racecars

Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Concept I can’t count how many times I’ve encountered a concept and wished upon shooting stars for it to become a production vehicle. Well, perhaps, this one might
(fingers crossed) come true. After all, a few components of the all-new midsized Colorado are coming to life. We just have to wait a little while for it. One of those magical parts is the 2.8L Duramax diesel,
which is expected to be outfitted in the truck sometime in 2015 for the 2016 model year. That diesel packs an estimated 181 horsepower at 3,400 rpm and 369 lb-ft of torque at 2,000 rpm for your towing pleasure.
When looking at it, well, it’s not your ordinary truck. The Colorado ZR2 wears a concept Cyprus Green exterior color, with Henna Orange accents and custom ZR2 identification on the rear fenders, tailgate and grille.
Not to mention a sizeable set of off-road ready tires; a set of 275/65R18 off-road rubbers mounted on custom 18-inch aluminum multispoke, bead-lock-style wheels. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Rivals remembered The Eagles enter weekend action with just three wins and have lost 13 straight games , writes Jacob Bestebroer
Brandon Potomak (right) and his Chilliwack Chiefs (15-8-0-1) have won two straight heading into BCHL action this weekend. The Chiefs face a Mainland division rival, the Surrey Eagles (3-18-0-3), in a home and home starting Friday night in Surrey. Chilliwack welcomes the Eagles to Prospera Centre Saturday, with a 7 p.m. start. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Grizzlies face Abbotsford in title defence GW Graham’s junior varsity Grizzlies will face a Fraser Valley rival as they gun for a second straight provincial title. The Grizzlies booked their ticket to the 2014 Subway Bowl Wednesday, swatting the Holy Cross Crusaders 33-12. In the other bracket, the Abbotsford Panthers crushed Parksville’s Ballenas Whalers 45-6, setting up the all-Fraser Valley final, Dec. 6 at BC Place Stadium. “It’s going to be fun,” said GW Graham head coach Adam Smith. “Before the playoffs started we told them they were four games away. Three are done and the boys are prepared for this last one.” Smith’s Grizzlies demolished Nanaimo 63-14 in their playoff opener, dismantled the John Barsby Bulldogs 49-28 last week and cruised past the Crusaders. GW Graham’s dominance of Holy Cross was never in question, right from the opening kickoff.
The Grizzlies took the ball and ran it down the throats of the Crusaders, with bruising tailback Von Richardson doing the damage. GW Graham led 7-0. The Grizzly defence, tutored by coordinator Sukh Parmar, had a huge game. On a first quarter series, they held Holy Cross to a four-and-out, forcing a punt that Ethan Mastin returned 56 yards for the second GWG major. The Grizzlies got the ball back just before halftime. Just like last week, when he got aggressive in the win over Barsby, Smith refused to run out the clock. With 44 seconds left, quarterback Wyatt Uzick dropped back and found Mastin on a 40 yard pass. With zeroes on the clock, Gabe Olivares broke a 30 yard touchdown run, giving his team a 21-0 halftime lead. Emilio Pineda had a touchdown run in the
third quarter. Breslin had the final GWG major, catching a 45 yard pass from Uzick on a play-action play. The score was 33-0 before the Grizzlies kicked it into cruise control. “We emptied our bench and they scored some points late, but I can’t say enough about the defence,” Smith said. “Sukh designed a really good game play to shut the Crusaders down.” Holy Cross terrorized opponents with a lighting and thunder offence that featured a bruising fullback and a six-foot-three fast-as-the-wind quarterback. “They had their quarterback running a lot, but we banged him up pretty good and got him out of the game,” Smith said. “They (Holy Cross) had a couple tells with the way they lined up their receivers, so we knew when he was going to run. Any time we saw it coming we had our outside linebackers pinching him inside for
our linebackers and line to pursue. We had four or five guys on the ball every time.” Smith figures the D forced Holy Cross into 10-15 negative plays, keeping the field tilted in GWG’s favour. When Holy Cross tried to pass, Olivares was there, coming up with three interceptions. Abbotsford will provide a different challenge in the title game, with a lightning fast tailback, talented receivers and a pass-happy quarterback. They beat GWG 28-22 in a regular season game. “Their QB has an amazing release and huge arm, and we can’t just sell out on stopping the pass because their running back has game-breaking speed,” Smith noted. “But we feel we’re ready for them and the situation. We won’t be intimidated staring at the BC Place lights and change-room. We expected to be here and we’re going to act like we belong.”
Looking back at the 19 plus seasons the Chiefs have called Chilliwack home there have been some great rivalries. Some have come and gone. The Langley Thunder/Hornets T hunder/Hornets no longer exist (technically they are the West Kelowna Warriors now), but for the few years they were in the same division as the Chiefs. The peak of their rivalry came during the 1996 playoffs when the Thunder knocked off the Chiefs. Chilliwack was forced to play the last few games of the series without superstar forward Shawn Horcoff, knocked out of the playoffs in a seven game second round series. The two teams had brawled repeatedly throughout the 1994-95 and 1995-96 seasons and that playoff loss was a tough one to swallow. To give you an idea of how crazy it was, the girlfriend of Langley’s top forward Randy Toye would w ould get to the games in Chilliwack early and rip down all the pro-Horcoff signs. Good times. The rivalry with Vernon hasn’t flared up recently but at times it was a great one. The T he first two seasons the Chiefs played in Chilliwack, the Chiefs and the Vernon Lakers were in the same division. They were two of the best junior A teams in all of Canada. That was not a good thing for the Chiefs who w ho were knocked out in the second round by the Lakers both years. After the Lakers became the Vipers, the rivalry took an interesting turn. Despite not playing in the same division and only facing each other a few times during the regular season, the two teams met in the league finals four times in a five yyear ear span that ended in 2003.
The Vipers won in 1999 and 2003 while the Chiefs captured the league title in 2000 and 2002. That brings us to whatt has been my favorite rivalry, the long lasting one that still exists between the Chiefs and the Surrey Eagles. This rivalry reached ridiculous heights during the late 1990s through the early 2000s. Who can forget the semifinal series in 1999 that wentt seven games with the Chiefs winning, in Surrey, on Jefff Yopyk’s overtime goal. The two teams will meett twice this weekend and while the rivalry isn’t quite what itt was back then, I always look k forward to these teams playing each other. The Eagles enter weekend action with just three wins and have lost 13 straightt games. The Chiefs have won 15 games and sit one pointt behind the division leading Prince George Spruce Kings with three games in hand. After travelling to Surrey y Friday, the two teams meett Saturday at Prospera Centre. In addition to the game, there will be a paper airplane throwing contest during the second intermission. All proceeds go to The Wanted Foundation. Children’s Thank you to Hofstede’s Country Barn and Fortins for supplying the prizes. On a more somber note there will be a video tribute to Pat Quinn prior to the game. Mr. Quinn was a greatt friend of the Chiefs. He helped us out on numerous occasions and I’ll never forget meeting him for the firstt time when he took to the ice at the first skate at Prosperaa Centre in 2004. He will be missed by many. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

A group of Chilliwackians playing for the Manitoba Bisons fell short in their bid to play in a Vanier Cup. Evan Foster and Nick Westad were in the lineup as the Bisons lost 29-26 to the Montreal Carabins in the Uteck Bowl, the final step before the Vanier Cup national championship. Foster played a solid game, recording two quarterback sacks and four solo tackles. But Foster and company couldn’t slow down Carabin pivot Gabriel Cousineau, who completed 24 of 35 passes for 421 yards and two touchdowns. Montreal led 27-21 at the half and held on, despite getting just two points in the second half. The Carabins now meet the McMaster Marauders Saturday in the 50th annual Vanier Cup championship game. The Bisons are done. Other Chilliwackians in the Manitoba program are Jake Creasey and Brandon Barratt.

Dominant weekend for Chilliwack’s Wierks
Chilliwack native had a huge weekend in CIS womens’ basketball action, but it didn’t save her team from suffering back to back losses. Wierks and the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades visited the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack, dropping games Friday and Saturday in Kamloops. Wierks started the weekend with a 27 points and a 20 rebound performance in a 69-58 loss, UFV’s first of the season. The host WolfPack prevailed behind a 24 point outing from Taiysa Worsfold, taking advantage of 25 UFV turnovers along the
way. The WolfPack got off to a great start, leading by as many as 12 points in the first quarter and holding a 19-9 advantage at the end of the frame. But the second quarter was all Cascades, with Wierks leading the way. She poured in 14 points on 6-for-6 shooting from the field, and UFV outscored TRU by a 25-12 margin to take a 34-31 lead into halftime. The WolfPack clawed back in the third quarter, though, and extended the lead as high as 15 points early in the fourth. The Cascades responded with a 9-0 run to cut the deficit to 56-50, capped by a Jenika Bannerman (Chilliwack) layup, but TRU pushed the lead back up to double digits and hung on for the win. “I think our inexperience showed a little bit tonight,” UFV head coach Al Tuchscherer analyzed. “Thompson Rivers made a big push in the third quarter, and

Broncos find bench boss One of Chilliwack’s BC Football Conference rivals will have an ex-Canadian Football League player patrolling the sidelines. The Kamloops Broncos have hired Brad Yamaoka as their new head coach, replacing Duncan Olthuis. Olthuis stepped down earlier this month due to work commitments. Yamaoka has been with the Broncos for many years and played a big role in last year’s record breaking season, with the team finishing a bestever 6-4. “Brad brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to our organization, and will continue to move the team into the direction we have created last year,” said Kamloops general manager Jan Antons. Yamaoka was borned and raised in Kamloops and played college ball for the University of British Columbia Thunderbirds. He played three years (1997-99) with the BC Lions, and four with the Winnipeg Blue Bombers (2000-03). “It is important to us to promote from within our own coaches,” said Broncos president Dino Bernardo. “Brad has been a part of the Kamloops Broncos since day one in one role or another, and was instrumental in the growth we experienced last year.” Chilliwack’s Valley Huskers lost three times to Kamloops in 2014. The Broncos joined the BCFC as an expansion team in 2007. See bcjuniorfootball.ca
we didn’t really answer that. And we had a few too many mistakes in the fourth quarter. “But I don’t think all is lost on the game. It’s a lot of great learning experiences tonight for us.” Wierks finished 10-for-16 from the field and 7-for-13 from the foul line, and fifth-year point guard Celeste Dyck notched 12 points and six assists. Another Chilliwackian, Kaitlyn McDonald, contributed nine points on a trio of three-pointers, but no one else on the team managed more than four points. In addition to Worsfold’s big night, the WolfPack got double-digit scoring performances from Kassie Colonna (14 points) and Michelle Bos (12 points, 17 rebounds). “I thought Sarah (Wierks) played with a lot of determination tonight,” said Tuchscherer, whose team was missing coleading scorer Nataliia Gavryliuk due to injury. “She played like a
fifth-year star, and that’s what she is. “We need some other people to step up their game a little bit – make some plays for us, get to the line.” Wierks had another dominant performance Saturday. But WolfPack rookie Michell Bos hit a stepback jump shot with 26.2 seconds left in the fourth quarter, lifting TRU to a 72-70 victory over the Cascades. The win gave them sole possession of first place in the Explorers Division with a 5-1 record. The Cascades fell to 4-2 on the season. “It was an entertaining game for sure – good little runs, players hitting some big shots,” Tuchscherer said. “They just end up hitting a bigger one at the end to come out with the win.” Wierks notched 25 points and 18 boards. Shayna Litman stepped up in a supporting role with 15 points and eight rebounds, while Dyck and McDonald (3-for-4
from beyond the arc) scored nine points apiece. Jorri Duxbury and Taiysa Worsfold registered 21 points each for the WolfPack, Kassie Colonna scored 11 points, and Bos had eight points and 10 boards. The Cascades took a 40-37 lead into halftime on Dyck’s buzzer-beating three-pointer, but the WolfPack locked it down on defence in the third quarter, outscoring UFV 16-10 to take a 53-50 advantage into the final frame. TRU led by as many as six points in the fourth quarter, but McDonald hit some huge shots down the stretch to keep UFV in it. Her trey with four minutes left leveled the score 63-63, and after the WolfPack pushed the lead back up to five points, she capped a mini-rally by knocking down a corner triple with 47 seconds left in regulation to tie it up again at 70-70. But on the ensuing

possession, Bos – who had been in foul trouble much of the evening – drilled a long two-point jumper to restore the TRU lead, and they would weather threepoint tries by Litman and Katie Brink in the dying seconds to hang on for the win. “It’s good for us to go through this stuff,” Tuchscherer analyzed. “A lot of players on the floor at the end of the game haven’t been in these situations before. . . . It’s hard for these
players to go through this and not get the job done, but you learn from it and you’re better the next day.” The Cascades basketball teams wrap up their first-semester schedules at home next weekend vs. the MacEwan Griffins. Games are Friday (some 6 p.m., men 8 pm.) and Saturday (women 5 p.m., men 7 p.m.) at the Envision Athletic Centre. See ufvcascades.ca for more info.

Another year has passed since you slipped away, I think about you every single day, I miss your smile, your laugh, and our talks, Those beautiful days when we took long walks. They say the first year is the toughest, Well the second is possibly the roughest. Some of these words were said last year, But I still do shed a tear, Because I really miss you, dear. It’s not fair you died too young, All our hopes and dreams were left undone, But death tore all those pages away, I know, dear Suzi, I’ll see you again one day. Love Always,

OBITUARIES
John Frank Kovacs June 4, 1932 – November 20, 2014
After four months of successful physiotherapy to regain his mobility, John suffered a stroke on November 13th from which, sadly, he did not recover. John was born on a homestead at Hope Valley AB. In 1938, the family moved to a farm on Hopedale Road in Chilliwack. John graduated CHS in 1951. He worked at Ward’s Appliances and Furniture on Wellington Avenue and was a volunteer fireman, living at Hall #1 for five years. He moved on to Woodward’s furniture in Edmonton, and then to Simpsons-Sears as furniture department manager. He married Fay Hansen in 1958 at Carman United Church, and they had a son and a daughter. In 1967 they moved with Simpsons-Sears to Kitchener-Waterloo for three years and, in 1970, John was happily transferred to stores in the Vancouver area. John’s last ten working years were with Federal Business Development Bank in New Westminster as CASE Coordinator analyzing and assisting small businesses, after which he and Fay retired to Chilliwack in 1990. Always a hard worker, John loved the challenges of creating a beautiful and productive garden wherever he lived. He enjoyed Chilliwack Garden Club, Chilliwack Museum, ElderCollege courses, and volunteering at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve. He loved driving and enjoyed RVing for a few years. John had an innate interest in people and their life stories—he was a great schmoozer! He maintained a keen interest in everything developing in Chilliwack. John’s life was much enriched by long-time friends, fellow Rotarians and Probus Club. Moving to Thom Creek Ranch on Promontory nine years ago began another group of friends. Survived by Fay, his caring wife of 56 years, son Richard, daughter Patricia (Colin), and two grandsons, Jorden and Colson. Also by sisters, Helen, Elizabeth and Margaret, and brother, Steve, and many nephews and nieces. Predeceased by parents Joseph and Helen Kovacs and brother Joe. Thank you to Dr. Paul Basson for your care for more than twenty years. We are grateful to Dr. Pippa Hawley of BCCA, and also to other physicians who advised John through the years. Arthritis and severe spine conditions caused John to live with chronic pain, but he maintained a sense of humour. Many thanks to Cheam Village Convalescent Care Unit, their caring nurses and aides, and especially their physiotherapy team, and Dr. L. MacIntosh. Appreciation also to CGH Emergency Department and NU3 staff. A celebration of John’s life will be held in the Chapel of Henderson’s Funeral Home, 45901 Victoria Avenue, on Friday, December 5, 2014 at 3 pm. Please respect a scent-free environment. If you desire, donations in John’s memory would be welcomed by the Rotary Foundation, care of The Rotary Club of Chilliwack, Box 28, Chilliwack BC V2P 6H7.

November 24, 2014
Born on March 16, 1943 in Vermillion, AB, Pat passed away on November 11, 2014 in Chilliwack after a courageous battle against cancer. She is survived by her husband Ron, son Mark (Nichole and kids; Breanne, Emily and Tyson), daughter Marnie (Jeff and kids; Dani and Abi), and sister Alice (Rudy), brother Ken (Lexa), and extended family. Pat worked at the Chilliwack Airport and retired from the Chilliwack Crown Council office, in addition to volunteering for many organizations within Chilliwack. Her favourite pastimes involved fishing, camping, playing music, and being surrounded by family and friends. The family would like to thank Dr. Scott Markey and Dr. Erin Rawstron for their wonderful care and compassion for both Pat and Ron during these past months. An additional thank you to family and friends from near and far that visited, wrote, and called Pat to provide hope and support during her battle. At Pat’s request no funeral or memorial will be held, although family and friends have celebrated her life and memory. We will miss her forever, however precious memories of Mom/Pat will provide us with peace and comfort for the future.
With great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our loving mother and grandmother, Irene Tyler. She is survived, cherished, and loved immensely by her 2 daughters Beth and Sharon (Jeff) and grandchildren Nicole and Kyle. Mom was born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and as a teenager moved to Victoria, BC with her family. It was on Vancouver Island where she met the love of her life, Chuck. Our family moved to Chilliwack in 1972 when Dad was transferred in his job. Mom was an elementary school teacher for 30 years, first in Sydney BC and then in Chilliwack. Her greatest joy and happiness in life was her husband and daughters, and later, her grandchildren. She spent the first 25 years of her long retirement with Dad, travelling and enjoying life to the fullest until his illness and passing in 2005. Although Mom had many serious health issues the last number of years, she maintained her infectious smile and positive attitude and always offering support and friendship to those she met. For the last few years, she lived at the Lynnwood in Chilliwack where she made many new friends and often referred to them as family. Mom got a lot of enjoyment and love out of her “granddog” Lexi who brought her comfort at her most difficult times and many days during stays at the hospital. Mom was loved by all who knew her and will be greatly missed. We would like to extend our thanks to the staff at the Lynnwood who assisted in making moms final years so enjoyable. We will be having a Celebration of Life at the Lynnwood on Thursday, December 4, 2014 at 1:30pm. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca.
April 10, 1920 November 24, 2014
Born in Lauzon, QC, Morris passed away peacefully on November 24th, 2014 at the Christine Morrison Hospice in Mission, B.C. Predeceased by his wife of 47 years, Rose Alma Godbout, in 1996; good friend and companion of 12 years, Pat Campbell, in 2013. He is survived by his 10 children, George, Gerard(Deb), Paul, Jean(Joan), Therese (Leo), Richard, Eddy, Bob, Dan, Pierre, and Lenora, as well as Blessings of 17 grand-children and 12 great-grand-children. In 1938 he worked in a mine in Noranda, QC; 1939 he was conscripted by the Canadian army; in 1941 he ‘volunteered’ for the Service Corps. After 31 years of proud service to his country, and multiple postings West to East, this Master Warrant Officer retired in 1972 to Chilliwack, B.C. He went back to school for a degree in accounting. He was a very big part of St. Mary’s church. All through the years the ChilliBowl was one of his favorite places to be, as were the ANAVETS and Legion branch #4. He lived in his own home until 4 days before he passed! So inspiring! Special thanks go out to family members, care aides, as well as the hospice staff, who took such great care of him. Prayers will be held at St. Mary’s church on Friday November 28th at 8:00 p.m. Funeral mass celebration will be at St. Mary’s church on Saturday November29th at 11:00am. Interment to follow at a later date. In lieu of flowers a donation to the above hospice, or children’s hospital would be appreciated. Online condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.bakerviewcrematorium.com
