Court upholds waste site rezoning Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A controversial rezoning by Chilliwack was upheld Monday by the Supreme Court of BC. Critics suggested in court documents that the City of Chilliwack failed to properly notify residents of a plan by Aevitas Inc. to build hazardous waste recycling and transfer facility on the Cannor Road property. But in a judgement released Monday, Justice Peter Voith deemed the city’s notification process completely sufficient. “I am satisfied that the notice described the ‘general purpose’ of the bylaw sufficiently to enable citizens to decide whether they wanted more information on the bylaw or whether they wished to attend at the public meeting,” the judge wrote. The city published the legal notices back in November 2013, and the Chilliwack Progress ran a story before the rezoning hearing about the hazardous nature of the materials, so there was ample opportunity for the public to be well-informed, the decision noted. “The relevant staff report, which was posted on the City’s website and which was available to the public even before the bylaw received first reading, was explicit about the precise materials or substances that would be handled at the ‘waste recycling and transfer facility,’” wrote Justice Voith. “That this information was readily available to the public is confirmed by the fact that the Chilliwack Progress, a local paper, had in the week prior to the public hearing published an article about the rezoning in both the print and online versions of its paper and that Continued: AEVITAS/ p9

Community steps up for Anna and David Jennifer Feinberg The Progress They were down on their luck. They were tapped out. They were being harassed. But a group of Chilliwack’s Good Samaritans sprang into action to help them. The couple known as Anna and David were flat out on the streets of Chilliwack. They’d been trying to eke out an existence, with their sweet dog Jessie, on wooden palettes under tarps. They were holed up against a closed restaurant building on Luckakuck Way. When arctic outflow winds signalled the arrival of the nas-
tier winter weather, their story touched the hearts of some generous locals. It started when one person started complaining about the homeless couple, living under the tarps by the former A&W building, and cut one of the tarps up in frustration. That prompted several people to respond with acts of compassion. Greendale resident Sue Knudsen scrolled through hundreds of Facebook comments to get the gist of their story. She checked with her hubby, and then took a chance and opened her motorhome, on her family’s threeacre farm, to the couple who was
on the streets. “I thought why couldn’t they stay here? It would be warm at least. I knew the weather was going to get yucky. I knew David worked at the mall, and it is really not that far away.” She was one of several people who stepped up to give what she could to relieve the distress. The little effort to help Anna and David gained momentum. Donations started trickling in from a variety of people, and included everything from bedding, clothing, food, to dog food, a porta-potty and even an offer of a manicure for Anna. Knudsen said she’d helped
folks before after hearing about the couple’s story on social media. “It’s all coming together now,” she told The Progress. “It’s funny because I’m always on Facebook checking on all the groups, seeing what’s going on. “I was so sick of the crime and the lack of anything positive happening. I figured, what does it hurt to reach a hand out to help? I wasn’t born with a silver spoon in my mouth. I have made my way, and with wonderful husband, and if we can help somebody who needs a hand now, all the better.” She knows they are taking a chance.

First Food Mob rallies for Chilliwack Sally Ann Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s a simple idea to feed the hungry. It’s like a cash mob, but people are asked to pop by to make donations to the local food bank. Chris Reitsma is organizing the first ever Chilliwack Food Mob on Dec. 13 to benefit the Chilliwack Salvation Army Food Bank, using the hash tag #foodmob on social media. It was actually a recent Progress article, with a photo depicting an empty warehouse on Brooks
Avenue looking dismal for Sally Ann, that turned out to be the catalyst for the food mob. “I saw that article. I looked at the picture of the warehouse and I couldn’t get it out of my mind,” said Reitsma. He started thinking about canned goods, and the homeless people living under the overpass. Something resonated. The idea hit him for a new way for the community to help fill the shelves before Christmas. “Why not do something like a cash mob, but for the food bank?”
he thought. He would encourage Chilliwack to help fill up the food reserves of the Food Bank. It all started with an idea and some tweets and now more than 600 people online have said they will show up on Saturday afternoon next week. “At this point I’m just trying to generate a groundswell of interest,” Reitsma added. Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl made it an issue in Ottawa, standing in the House to make a comment.
“Mr. Speaker, I rise in the House today to highlight an important event taking place in my riding: Chilliwack’s first ever food mob. “Like the cash mobs that started in late 2011, a food mob uses social media to encourage individuals to arrive at a set location at a specific date and time. Unlike a cash mob, where participants are encouraged to spend cash to support a local business, participants in a food mob are encouraged to make a donation of a non-perishable food item. “Together, in the spirit of the
■ L OADING U P
season, I encourage those who are able to give and make this a great Christmas for everyone,” said Strahl. The Salvation Army’s warehouse on 46420 Brooks Avenue is where the ‘Food Mob’ will be held Dec. 13 from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Non-perishable goods will be accepted in a drive and drop set-up, he explained. Anyone who wants to get the word out on social media is welcome to post and tweet up a storm using #Chilliwack and #foodmob. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno
Metro to tighten sulphur dioxide emission limit Jeff Nagel Black Press
About 150 firefighters, Search and Rescue members, and Emergency Social Services workers organize thousands of nonperishable food items during the Chilliwack Fire Department’s annual food drive. Crews were out knocking on doors on Monday night and collected 21,600 items of food (18,000 lbs) and $1,115 in cash and cheques in just two hours for the Salvation Army. Last year, the food drive brought in 12,000 items. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Current air quality guidelines for sulphur dioxide pollution levels in the Lower Mainland may be too low to adequately protect human health, according to a Metro Vancouver report. The regional district, which regulates air quality within Metro and the Fraser Valley, is proposing to slash the maximum acceptable level of the pollutant from 174 parts per billion (ppb) to the same 75 ppb limit adopted in the U.S. in 2010. Exposure to high levels of sulphur dioxide – most of which comes from shipping – can aggravate asthma and other respiratory problems. The report says Metro’s existing maximum targets for sulphur dioxide are outdated as they were based on national targets drawn up in the 1970s and “may not be protective for all sensitive individuals, particularly asthmatics.” The pollutant also acidifies soil and surface water, damages crops and trees and can damage or discolour structures and property. It can react with other substances to cause smog. Nearly 80 per cent of sulphur dioxide emissions in the region came from the marine ships in 2010, followed by eight per cent from the Chevron oil refinery in Burnaby and three per cent from cement plants. The current limit of 174 ppb averaged over one hour was exceeded twice last year in Burnaby’s Capitol Hill neighbourhood, which has the closest air quality monitoring station to the Chevron refinery. If the lower 75 ppb limit had been in place there would have been 17 exceedances in 2013 – 15 at Capitol Hill and two in Port Moody. “We are concerned about sulphur dioxide levels around Chevron,” said Ray Robb, Metro’s environmental regulation and enforcement division manager.

Home invasion ‘targeted’ Chilliwack RCMP are looking for three men who invaded a home shortly after midnight Tuesday. The three men forced their way into a house in the 7000 block of Marble Hill Road, assaulting the one person who was home at the time. The resident was hurt, but got away with minor injuries. RCMP believe the suspects made off with a small number of firearms, and were gone by the time officers arrived. The Lower Mainland Integrated Police Dog Service tried to track them down, unsuccessfully. “We are still investigating this incident,� said Cst. Ashley St. Germaine. “It is believed at this time that this was a targeted event.� The Lower Mainland Integrated Forensic Identification Section is helping with the investigation. Anyone with info can phone 604-792-4611 and provide file number 2014-41444, or call Crime Stoppers (anonymously) at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS). An RCMP officer tells a woman she cannot enter Safeway after a bomb threat was made to the store on Luckakuck Way shortly after 11 a.m. Tuesday. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Bomb scare empties mall A bomb scare forced the evacuation of Chilliwack Mall just before noon Tuesday. Chilliwack RCMP closed off streets and access to the mall, snarling traffic during the busy lunch hour. An explosive-sniffing dog was called in to help search. The incident began at around 11:30 a.m. when someone called the Safeway store manager and indicated a bomb
placed at the grocery store was set to go off at around noon. The manager contacted RCMP. The Safeway was evacuated, as well as the attached shopping mall. Police also blocked all entrances to the mall, after briefly considering closure of both Luckakuck and Topaz. A search of the stores found nothing and the mall was reopened at 1:15 p.m.

ings to the Greendale location they are now staying at. Anna and David immigrated to Vancouver more than 10 years ago. They made their way to Chilliwack and David eventually got a job at one of the local malls. He was a mechanical engineer in China but his credentials are not recognized here. The couple said they were thankful to have made it to Canada from China, and Anna said they picked Canada because it was full of nice people. But it has been a tough slog. They have no family here, and were struggling to secure enough funds to cover housing, and could not enter a homeless shelter because of their dog. Now they are feeling so grateful for the all the kindness that’s been shown to them. Lindsay WheeldonHlokoff works for Sue Knudsen’s business on the Greendale property. She spent most of a day gutting and cleaning the motor home with the help of a few other community members. “To see the smile on Anna’s face was worth it,” she said. With all the negative posts on Facebook, it was good to have a positive story. “I was flooded with messages from people who wanted to help. It’s been amazing.” Catherine Roos started a Facebook group called SPARKS for Special People Acts of Random Kindness, as a result of the groundswell of desire to help the needy. “I’m just humbled and so incredibly moved that this ‘thought’ blossomed into these people feeling loved and having a warm, safe, dry place to continue bettering themselves,” Roos wrote.

News UFV and Ann Davis mark National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women Dec. 5 and 6 and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada. (UFV will be marking it a day early in order to reach more people on campus.) Established in 1991 by the Parliament of Canada, this day marks the anniversary of the murders in 1989 of 14 young women at l’Ecole polytechnique de Montréal. They were murdered in cold blood because they were women. As well as commemorating the women whose lives ended in an act of gender-based violence that shocked the nation, the day represents an opportunity for Canadians to reflect on the phenomenon of violence against women in our society.
It is an opportunity to consider women and girls for whom violence is a daily reality, and to remember those who have died as a result of gender-based violence. And finally, it is a day on which communities can take concrete actions to eliminate all forms of violence against
“together we can end hunger in Chilliwack”
women and girls. As part of a 16-day campaign of remembrance and activism against gender violence, UFV has also set up info tables at the Chilliwack campus at Canada Education Park and the Abbotsford campus. The tables are in place until Dec. 10.

Chilliwack broiler farm one of two under quarantine Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The H5 avian influenza virus was detected Monday on two farms
in the Fraser Valley, including a broiler farm in Chilliwack, and a turkey farm in Abbotsford. All affected birds, including about 7,000
chickens in Chilliwack, will have to be euthanized, according to a news release from Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
CFIA officials placed both farms under quarantine to quell the spread of the H5 strain, after sudden deaths of birds were reported
over the weekend. The industry has been advised to adopt “enhanced” biosecurity practices, according to the release on Dec. 2.
Further testing by the CFIA is underway to confirm pathogenicity and to determine the precise subtype and strain of the virus.
Get it before it’s gone.
Avian influenza viruses do not pose risks to food safety when poultry and poultry products are properly handled and cooked. “As lead response agency the CFIA will ensure the quarantine of the infected farms, and determine a surrounding surveillance zone for further testing,” said CFIA spokesman Dave Townsend. “The CFIA will also lead on required depopulation of birds, while the Province will provide technical support on required carcass disposal.” Once all birds have been removed, the CFIA will oversee the cleaning and disinfection of the barns, vehicles, equipment and tools to eliminate any infectious material. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Air quality concerns AIR from page 3 The maximum ambient air quality level for a pollutant like sulphur dioxide isn’t directly enforceable, nor does Metro issue tickets to ships when levels around Burrard Inlet get too high. But excessive emissions traced to a specific regulated point source can prompt Metro to give the emitter a pollution abatement order to force it to clean up to get back in compliance with its permit, Robb said. Metro officials say the new lower target is achievable. An ongoing international shift to low-sulphur marine fuel has been reducing the shipping sector’s emissions, which are by next year expected to be down 95 per cent from 2005 levels. But while individual ships are getting cleaner, the overall number of them coming here is expected to climb as Port Metro Vancouver aims to increase trade through the region.

City wins waste site court case AEVITAS from Front it fully and accurately addressed the intended use of the Property after it was rezoned.” The Outdoor Recreation Council of B.C. and former Chilliwack resident Glen Thompson took the City of Chilliwack to court over what they felt was a flawed process. “The outcome is certainly not what we had hoped and the legal decision, in our view, is not a good one for the river or the democratic process,” commented Mark Angelo, chair of the ORC. “We continue to feel strongly that the word ‘hazardous’ should have been in the city’s initial description so that residents would have had a more precise idea of what was being proposed.” They will consider appealing the decision, Angelo said, “while also continuing to point out (especially to the Province who will have final say) that the proposed location for this hazardous waste plant is the main problem.” Glen Thompson, whose name was also on the decision, said he was saddened by the decision. The “real disappointment” is that other M6 industrial ventures could be set up in the industrial area “without any hearings.” “It appears to us the process is broken,” Thompson said. “For them to think the process was fine and dandy is really sad and it doesn’t bode well for the democratic process.” He said the opponents were not “ruling out” an appeal, but he’s not sure how likely it will be. “We were hoping for a positive outcome,” he said. “I think everyone is in shock. The hill has gotten steeper.” A coalition was created groups opposed to the location of the proposed recycling plant. Ernie Crey, fisheries advisor to Sto:lo Tribal Council, was at the original rezoning hearing, asking City of Chilliwack delay their decision to consult local First Nations. Crey told The Progress he was disappointed in the judge’s decision. “I didn’t expect a different ruling,” he said. But that said, with the city being comfortable that it played by the rules and the judge obviously agreed, now there’s this notion of the social licence,” he said.
Glen Thompson, speaks with media after a the waste treatment facility was approved by council earlier this year. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE
The real question is did the project meet the general approval of the community, he suggested “In this case, I don’t think the project has the social licence,” Crey said. “(Aevitas president Byron) Mr. Day may want to reflect carefully on whether it’s wise to proceed with the plant at that location. The sticking point has been the location less than 200 metres from the Fraser River, and the opponents may appeal the court decision. City officials are happy the ruling shows the city properly followed the rezoning process by law. “We hope this legal outcome helps others better understand the process that we follow for each and every rezoning application and the reason for strict adherence to the Act,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. They’ve been concerned about the misinformation being shared. “As we waited for the case to be heard by the BC Supreme Court, a lot of misinformation was spread about the City acting illegally and about a potential environmental disaster without taking into consideration any of the safeguards that will be in place,” said Mayor Gaetz. “This has been exceedingly frustrating, as we take our legal obligations and our responsibility to protect the environment very seriously. We want to thank those local residents that took the time to become informed both prior to and after the rezoning so as not to perpetuate false information.” Aevitas president Byron Day told The Progress in a phone inter-
www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1
view after the decision came down that he was “quite pleased” with the ruling. A revised twofloor design plan for the plant is even better than it was, he emphasized. Plus a new web page will be going live in a couple of weeks on the Aevitas site to explain the multiple levels of environmental protection and control that will be built into the plant design. Day stressed there are10 levels of protection going in, and a new twofloor design to lower the risks of a spill or contamination even further. “We will also be trying to explain something about the quality of our recycling processes; of how we take something hazardous and make it into a brand-new product,” said Day. Opponents do not recognize the recycling nature of the work Aevitas hopes to do in Chilliwack. The transformer oil and other waste products like the lamps after the mercury is removed will not be “treated” they will be recycled. The lamp components will be recycled, he underlined,
including the aluminum and brass parts, as well as the lamp glass. Day is fully cognizant all the vocal opposition, including a petition with more than 16,000 signatures, has been focused on the riverside location. “Almost all suitable sites in the entire Lower Mainland are within a certain distance from farmland, from highresidential areas, or on a river or creek. There are creeks everywhere,” he said. “This is, believe it or not, one of the furthest sites from a river or creek.” With all the protections in place, the risk to the river from flooding is “so minimal,” Day said. But Angelo sees an inherent risk, however. “Across Nor th America, there are no hazardous waste treatment plants being built today beside rivers because these plants have an inherent danger to them in terms of potential leakage, seepage and spills,” said Angelo. “If there was an accident, a riverside location provides no grace. So why would any government in B.C. want to build such a plant on the shores of the world’s greatest salmon river? The river advocate stated there are “other suitable locations” away from the river and in less sensitive locations. But Day has stated repeatedly that this not the case, and the search across the entire Lower Mainland for the ideal location by Aevitas officials had been exhaustive. “The next steps will include a technical review by the B.C. Ministry of Environment,” he said. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Pointsof View
The Chilliwack Progress is published by Black Press Group Ltd., every Wednesday and Friday at 45860 Spadina Ave., Chilliwack. The Progress is a member of the Canadian Community Newspaper Association, British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspaper Association and B.C. Press Council.
Perception and reality It’s unlikely Monday’s B.C. Supreme Court ruling will change many minds about the Aevitas waste recycling and transfer site. But the court case was never about whether people liked the idea of hazardous waste that close to a river. It was about the rezoning process and whether the City of Chilliwack followed its statutory obligations to inform the public. And it did. Critics argued the city failed to adequately inform the public about the plant; that the legal notices published two weeks and one week prior to the public hearing were vague and insufficient. Justice Peter Voith disagreed. “That this information was readily available to the public,” said Justice Voith in his ruling, “is confirmed by the fact that the Chilliwack Progress, a local paper, had in the week prior to the public hearing published an article about the rezoning in both the print and online versions of its paper and that it fully and accurately addressed the intended use of the property after it was rezoned.” Despite the Supreme Court ruling, critics will maintain the city could block Aevitas if it chose. But they are wrong here, too. The property is privately owned,

and has been zoned heavy industrial since 2001 — a zoning confirmed by Chilliwack’s official community plan and reaffirmed in the 2040 OCP update completed just this year. Those who have fought so resolutely against Aevitas had an opportunity to raise concerns about the heavy industrial zoning during that OCP review process. They did not. There is a perception among some that a municipal government has unlimited powers; that it could intercede in a private property transaction in any manner it chose. They believe council has the power to block the development. Again, the critics are wrong. If Chilliwack were to prevent the property owner from realizing the full potential of land the city has already rezoned, it would have to compensate the owner. Some might argue that the millions of tax dollars it would cost would be justified. But others might argue that money would be better spent enhancing services, providing better policing and fire protection, or assisting those most in need. They might argue that taxes brought by stringently regulated industrial development — and the local jobs that development creates — is where a municipal government’s priorities should be.
B.C. V IEWS
Nisga’a are proving their critics wrong VICTORIA – It has been 15 years since I wrote a commentary objecting to the B.C. government pushing aside its own hard-won treaty process to reach an unprecedented land-and-cash settlement with the Nisga’a Nation for their ancient Nass River territory. My objection, and that of many others, was the imposition of a parallel state with collectively owned land enshrined for all time. This was an ailing NDP government rushing to enable a property ownership system that has demonstrated little but failure and suffering around the world. The Nisga’a are proving me wrong, and this was again demonstrated at a little-noticed ceremony at the B.C. legislature last week. The B.C. government had just passed amendments to allow a gas pipeline through Nisga’a Memorial Lava Bed Park, the first
co-managed provincial park in B.C. history. Another bill enabled the Nisga’a Lisims government to impose industrial property tax on liquefied natural gas production. Legal documents were signed so the Nisga’a legislature can do the same this week. In recent years, the Nisga’a disTom posed of concern FLETCHER about collective land restrictions by adopting a private property system. And Supreme Court of Canada decisions have repeatedly answered protests about the establishment of a parallel state – that’s what it is, so get used to it. The Nisga’a have moved to assemble four fee-simple tidewater
sites for LNG terminals, joining the Haisla Nation at Kitimat in reaching aggressively for a modern economy through gas export. The Nisga’a have partnered with TransCanada Corp. on a 900-km pipeline to supply the $11-billion LNG project led by Petronas for the Prince Rupert port. And they don’t intend to stop there. “We want to be part of the Canadian business establishment,” said former Nisga’a Nation president Joe Gosnell. The signing ceremony was briefly disrupted by one of a small group of Vancouver-based Nisga’a who have been using modern protest tactics against this decision. We weren’t consulted, it’s a desecration of victims of a volcanic eruption, it’s a threat to eelgrass beds, and so forth, say wellrehearsed young men with video cameras running.

Nisga’a President Mitchell Stevens has patiently and repeatedly explained that Nisga’a legislature rules were relaxed to allow every hereditary chief to speak to elected leaders on this pivotal move. After that it received the required two-thirds majority support. Gosnell, the revered chief negotiator who carried the treaty over the goal line in 2000, moved slowly with the help of an ornately carved cane to speak at a reception. He seemed genuinely surprised that he has lived long enough to see the fruits of generations of labour. Gosnell recounted the 1887 paddling trip down the B.C. coast from the Nass Valley to Victoria to present the Nisga’a territorial claim, where the tribal leaders were turned away on the steps of the legislature by Premier William Smithe. It would take until 1910
for Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier to promise a settlement, and until 1949 for Nisga’a Chief Frank Calder to be elected to the B.C. legislature. In 2000, when the treaty received royal assent in Ottawa, Gosnell took part in a ceremonial burning of the Indian Act and got to work on implementing self-government. And on Nov. 27, 2014, B.C. Liberal, NDP and independent MLAs voted unanimously to open the way to an industrial future for the Nisga’a. “That’s what being alive means to me today,” Gosnell said. “You’ve got to have big dreams. Maybe all those dreams won’t come true, but at least you have the ability to dream big. And boy, are we ever dreaming big.” Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Children are counting on us I am impressed by the excellent article by Margaret Evens in the last edition. The problem of child poverty in Canada is twofold. By the time of the next federal election according to a paper by the Conference Board of Canada one million children in our country will go to school and to bed food insecure. Euphemistically this translates to “hunger” but is sounds less harsh. Sort of like PTSD suffered by a veteran is what was called “shell shock”. 400 thousand of these children are from First Nations families. The responsibility for these children and families resides with the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development for which our MP Mr. Mark Strahl just happens to be the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister which is convenient for us here in

Chilliwack. I have communicated my concerns pertaining to this issue to Mr. Strahl on several occasions. I have this week asked him to take leadership on the issue of transportation costs of essential food items to those living in the far North which the Auditor General said was failing because the savings were not getting to the end purchaser and one community was not getting any benefit while one nearby was, perplexing as that sounds. Now to the issue of the other 600 thousand families and children in the rest Canada, the issue is Federal and Provincial. This issue could have been one, where discussions with Premiers and the Prime Minister along with interested municipal leaders and advocacy groups lent their influence and ideas to formulating an
end to this demeaning aspect of our society. It seems the Harper government is not so interested in this kind of dialogue. This must be encouraged. Business leaders and investors groups must also begin to enter into a social contract with Canadians to help alleviate this shameful state of affairs. I ask on behalf of these children, that all folks here in the Fraser Valley who feel that action must be taken, contact Mr. Strahl MP, Mr. Throness MLA and your church groups and other local leaders and have a conversation about how this problem can be solved. I have contacted Adrienne Montani of First Call and offered my support. We can do so much better in this great land. Remember these children are counting on all of us.

PSA saves lives
A fence won’t solve homelessness
I was deeply disappointed by the guidelines released a short time ago by the Canadian Taskforce for Preventative Healthcare recommending against the prostate specific antigen (PSA) test to screen for prostate cancer. I firmly believe that the PSA test saved my life, and if these guidelines had been around a few years ago, I might not be here to write this letter. Personally, I am very happy that my former employer insisted that I have a PSA test as part of my annual medical after the age of 45. When I was working, my results were normal. After retirement I thought that it would be a good idea to continue this as part of my annual checkup. Within a few years my GP advised me that my PSA had doubled in two years and even though it was just under 7, that it was cause for concern and he recommended a biopsy. The biopsy revealed 3 samples of cancer, so then I could decide what I wanted to do. I chose a radical prostatectomy and happily 8 years later everything is just fine. At the same time that I retired, a co-worker
RE: Fence part of action plan on homeless (The Chilliwack Progress Nov 26, 2014) Fences might be part of an action plan against the unsightly problem of the homeless, but they do not address homelessness. Homes do. We need to actually commit to providing safe housing for people in need. Once there, evidence shows even those with complex needs are better able to access services. Shelter beds, while important, are not the answer. Huge thanks to those who work at the street level, but we need to do better.
from Manitoba also retired, but was a typical macho man, who felt that he was healthy, played tennis, golf and didn’t think that he needed a regular checkup. 10 years later when he was not feeling well, he had some tests and his PSA was over 400! By then the cancer that had started in his prostate, had metastasized to his bones, lungs and even his brain and within two months he passed away. Prostate cancer doesn’t always have symptoms, or doesn’t show signs until the disease had advanced and there are fewer treatment options. To have the best possible outcomes and greatest treatment options, early detection is key to successful treatment. If not the PSA test, then what alternative test will allow men to know their risk of prostate cancer and plan their course of action? The PSA test may not be perfect but it is the best test available to men today. If the Task Force had seen fit to involve survivors, I only wish that their recommendations would not have been so short-sighted. Dale Erikson PCCN Chilliwack

Churches can do more to help the homeless How much did the City of Chilliwack pay for the fence? I wonder how that solves security questions. Chilliwack has dozens of churches sitting empty most of the time, and they are basically tax free. Why don’t the churches in their almighty Christian way and according to all the teachings in the Bible about benevolence, compassion, generosity and helping the less fortunate open the doors and let the homeless in for warmth and shelter? Those churches usually have a nice kitchen in the basement as well. To retrofit a shower would not cost much or maybe a plumber attends the church and would do it for free. Courtney Saunders

TEETH-IN-AN-HOUR™ is a revolutionary concept providing patients with fully functioning teeth on dental implants in one single procedure that lasts about an hour. This technology was recently developed by Nobel Biocare and allows for collaboration between both the restorative doctor and the surgeon. This merging of knowledge and experience achieves not only increased safety, but also a more precise implant placement. In addition, the fabrication of a temporary prosthesis is completed prior to the surgery. The computer-guided implant surgery is done in an arthroscopic fashion without requiring any flap reflection. This benefits the patient in that there is less postoperative discomfort, less swelling and less bruising. Patients can often resume their normal activities the next day. The process starts when a CAT scan is taken of the patient’s jawbone. This CAT scan allows for the generation of a three-dimensional model of the jawbone that can then be used in virtual reality software to plan the implant placement without the presence of the patient. The results are more accurate implant placement, and less chair time for the patient at the surgery office.

Pipeline protest contempt charges tossed over errors Jeff Nagel Black Press A B.C Supreme Court judge has thrown out all charges of civil contempt of court laid over the past week against more than 100 anti-pipeline protesters who crossed police lines on Burnaby Mountain. Thursday’s r uling came after Kinder Morgan confirmed it used inaccurate GPS coordinates to define the no-go zone covered by a Nov. 17 court injunction to allow survey work for the proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline. Protesters were jubilant after the decision. “It’s a shame we have to be fighting this battle on this level,” said Lynne Quarmby, an SFU professor who was among the first to be arrested. Burnaby RCMP had previously cautioned protesters who had already crossed the line once might instead face criminal contempt charges if they did it again. Most protesters arrested had been charged with civil contempt of court for entering the injunction area but a few face criminal charges of assault. The B.C. Civil Liberties Association had questioned the legality of the injunction, arguing the police line didn’t match the defined area. Kinder Morgan also sought but failed to get its injunction extended from Dec. 1 to Dec. 12 to allow more time to complete the drilling of a second bore hole. Company officials said they were disappointed but respect the court’s decision. Trans Mountain spokesperson Ali Hounsell said remaining crews and equipment will be removed from Burnaby Mountain by Dec. 1 and possibly sooner if it’s decided there’s little point in drilling fur-
ther. The test drilling is to determine whether a tunneling route through Burnaby Mountain could be used for the proposed oil pipeline to avoid existing Burnaby neighbourhoods. The company completed drilling on one bore hole but won’t be able to finish a planned second one before Dec. 1. Hounsell said Trans Mountain thinks the geotechnical information gathered so far is sufficient to demonstrate
the tunnel is feasible, but added the National Energy Board will have to decide. “It looks viable,” she said. “But we will have to continue to do further work.” As for the civil contempt charges, Hounsell said it was never Kinder Morgan’s goal to punish protesters if it was able to carry out the needed work. “We respect the court’s decision to throw those out,” she said. “It was unfortunate it even
in
came to any arrests. That is not what we wanted it to come to.” The injunction was revised as of 1:30 p.m. Thursday for exclusion zones around the remaining bore hole. Among the protesters arrested Thursday was Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs Grand Chief Stewart Philip. “We do not support the Harper and Clark governments when it comes to resources,” Philip said prior to his arrest, calling it a point of
principle to make a stand with other protesters. The City of Burnaby, meanwhile, had a legal
setback Thursday when the B.C. Court of Appeal refused to hear an appeal of its request
for an injunction to bar Kinder Morgan from the Burnaby Mountain conservation area.

Community New Public Relations program starting at UFV Five Corners in Chilliwack “Whether you’re working for a local small business or an innovative PR firm, these skills are applicable in any career that has a public relations component,” she says. “This program is designed to maximize return on a student’s investment. It’s a short, up-to-date program unlike anything offered east of the Port Mann Bridge.” In the age of social media, public relations specialists play a vital role to ensure organizations not only build a positive reputation, but also engage customers and grow in influence. UFV’s new program equips students with handson knowledge in public relations, social media, image management, public speaking, media relations, and writing.
The University of the Fraser Valley’s new Public Relations certificate program will offer people a unique opportunity to improve existing skills that benefit any business or organization, or transition into an entirely new field. Starting in February and based out of UFV Five Corners in Chilliwack’s historic downtown, courses for the four-month program can be taken as a package or individually, allowing a flexible look into the world of communications and public relations. According to Liana Thompson, UFV director of Continuing Education, anyone can improve themselves or their company by completing UFV’s new PR program.
“These are sought-after skills that open a lot of doors,” says Thompson. “They qualify you for a wide range of employment opportunities or career advancement and are applicable across disciplines.” Even before taking a single class, the program’s future graduates are already on the industry’s radar. Darian Kovacs, director of strategy for Jelly Marketing, looks forward to welcoming UFV’s Public Relations certificate graduates as practicum students and employees. “We’re always on the lookout for new talent, and these people are not easy to find,” Kovacs says. “With two emerging areas of PR
(experiential and digital) individuals trained and honed in proper skills and practicums are needed more than ever. It’s through the power and influence of PR that we’re able to see charities raise money, startups get noticed, and people’s stories heard.” Click Media Works’ owner and founder Kathleen Rake is also excited about UFV’s new PR program, and very interested in the following the growth of its grads. “Educated professionals know what behaviours are ethical and employ best practices. Many people do not. And that’s why education is critical,” she says. “PR is integral to organizational success. It helps organizations’ messages rise above the racket.
Our news media have evolved and people who practise public relations are in a position to help on a number of fronts.” Students can apply immediately, with registration beginning Dec. 15. The program is limited to 20 students, with classes held Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. The full program also qualifies for financial aid. If you have questions about how the UFV Public Relations certificate program can fit into your overall learning goals, you should book an appointment to see an educational advisor at UFV. Contact advising@ufv.ca. For more information, visit ufv. ca/pr

Students from Bernard elementary rehearse some carols with Paula DeWit in preparation for their performance during the Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra’s concert, Nutcracker and A Potpourri of Christmas Favourites on Dec. 13. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Nutcracker heralds the start of Christmas season It’s the perfect way to launch a magical Christmas season of musical favourites in Chilliwack. The Nutcracker and A Potpourri of Christmas Favourites with the Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra and Chorus is set for Dec. 13. The first half is dedicated to Nutcracker Suite with the added grace of dancers from the Fraser Valley Academy of Dance to play the Sugar Plum Fairy, the Harlequin doll,
and more. It promises to be a most elegant and visually stunning performance, showcasing the Fraser Valley Academy of Dance, the Ladies’ Show Choir, Belle Voci, and the CSO and Chorus. Excerpts from the classic Tchaikovsky masterpiece, will be performed from the Nutrcracker Suite, an enchanting tale told with the rich blend of beautiful music and ballet, a favourite for more than 100 years.
Those familiar strains will lead off a terrific lineup of treasured music they have planned for the evening. “We are excited to work hand in hand with the Fraser Valley Academy of Dance on this performance,” says music director Paula DeWit. The entire first half of the evening will be dedicated to the Nutcracker Suite. Following the intermission, the CSO chorus, together with the orchestra will pres-
ent some of the most beloved carols of Christmastime. About 20 singers from Bernard elementar y school, who DeWit has been coaching, will be taking the stage during the second half to sing with the orchestra and chorus. “It is a delight to work with these wonderful young people from Bernard, and we can’t wait to give them this experience!” says DeWit. Also in this second half of the evening, Belle Voci, the CSO’s
a capella choral group, are ready to perform Pentatonix’s version of Silent Night. The Ladies’ Show Choir will entertain the audience with “Walking on the Air” from the well known movie “The Snowman.” The Nutcracker and A Potpourri of Christmas Favourites with the CSO and Chorus at the Cultural Centre on Dec. 13, at 7:30 p.m. Tickets $25, $15 students, $60 for families.

All I want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth
s a m t s i r h rols cca
Everybody stops and stares at me These two teeth are gone as you can see I don’t know just who to blame for this catastrophe! But my one wish on Christmas Eve is as plain as it can be! All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth, see my two front teeth! Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, then I could wish you “Merry Christmas.” It seems so long since I could say, “Sister Susie sitting on a thistle!” Gosh oh gee, how happy I’d be, if I could only whistle (thhhh) All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth, my two front teeth, see my two front teeth. Gee, if I could only have my two front teeth, then I could wish you “Merry Christmas!”
Away in a Manger Away in a manger, no crib for his bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head. The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay.

Santa Claus Is Coming To Town
White Christmas
You better watch out You better not cry Better not pout I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town.
I’m dreaming of a white Christmas, just like the ones I used to know, Where the tree tops glisten, and children listen To hear sleighbells in the snow.
He’s making a list, And checking it twice; Gonna find out who’s naughty and nice. Santa Claus is coming to town. He sees you when you’re sleeping He knows when you’re awake He knows if you’ve been bad or good So be good for goodness sake! O! You better watch out! You better not cry. Better not pout, I’m telling you why Santa Claus is coming to town,, Santa Claus is coming to town..
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes, but little Lord Jesus no crying he makes. I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from the sky, and stay by my side until morning is nigh.

It Came Upon the Midnight Clear
Oh come all ye faithful, joyful and triumphant, Oh come ye, oh come ye to Bethlehem. Come and behold him, born the king of angels,
You know Dasher and Dancer And Prancer and Vixen, Comet and Cupid And Donner and Blitzen But do you recall The most famous reindeer of all?
It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old, From angels bending near the earth, To touch their harps of gold: “Peace on the earth, good will to men from heaven’s all gracious King.”
Oh come let us adore him, Oh come let us adore him Oh come let us adore him, Christ the lord.
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer Had a very shiny nose (like a light bulb) And if you ever saw it You would even say it glows (like a flash light) All of the other reindeer Used to laugh and call him names (like Pinochio) They never let poor Rudolph Play in any reindeer games (like Monopoly).
Sing, choirs of angels, sing with exultations, Sing all ye citizens of heav’n above Glory to God, glory in the highest. Oh come let us adore him, Oh come let us adore him Oh come let us adore him, Christ the lord. Yea, Lord we greet thee, born this happy morning, Jesus, to thee be glory giv’n Word of the father, now in flesh appearing.
Then one foggy Christmas Eve Santa came to say (Ho Ho Ho) Rudolph with your nose so bright Won’t you guide my sleigh tonight? Then all the reindeer loved him And they shouted out with glee (yippee) “Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer You’ll go down in history!”
Silent Night
The Christmas Song
Silent night, holy night, All is calm, all is bright Round yon virgin mother & child. Holy infant so tender and mild, Sleep in heavenly peace. Sleep in heavenly peace.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire Jack Frost nipping at your nose Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Silent night, holy night, Shepherds quake at the sight, Glories stream from heaven afar, Heavenly hosts sing alleluia; Christ the Savior, is born! Christ the Savior, is born!

Jingle Bells
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way! O what fun it is to ride In a one-horse open sleigh.
The world in solemn stillness lay To hear the angels sing. Still thru the cloven skies they come, With peaceful wings unfurled; And still their heav’nly music floats O’er all the weary world. Above it’s sad and lowly plains They bend on hov’ring wing, And ever o’er its Babel sounds The blessed angels sing. For lo! the days are hast’ning on, By prophets seen of old, When with the ever circling years Shall come the time fore told.
Christ, by highest heav’n adored; Christ, the ever lasting Lord; Late in time behold Him come, Off spring of the virgin’s womb. Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see; Hail th’in carnate deity Please, as man with man to dwell, Jesus our Immanuel! Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King! Hail! The heav’n born Prince of Peace! Hail! The Son of righteousness! Light and life to all He brings, Ris’n with healing in His wings. Mild He lays his glory by, Born that man no more may die; Born to raise the sons of earth, Born to give them second birth. Hark! The herald angels sing, “Glory to the newborn King!
Dashing through the snow On a one-horse open sleigh, Over the fields we go, Laughing all the way; Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright, What fun it is to ride and sing A sleighing song tonight.
When the new heav’n and earth shall own The Prince of Peace their King, And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing.

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

Let’s talk. You’ve probably seen us on the news recently regarding Burnaby Mountain and our Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion Project.
SOME FACTS
I think it would be good for us to talk.
The Trans Mountain Pipeline has been operating between Edmonton, AB and Burnaby, BC
We’ve talked a lot with communities about their concerns and in Burnaby the feedback was to look into routing the pipeline through Burnaby Mountain, rather than through their streets and neighbourhood.
since 1953. In April 2012, we proposed to expand the
Our work on the mountain over the past few weeks has been a part of that feasibility study. Though we estimate it will cost Kinder Morgan $40 million more than the original route through residential streets, we want to acknowledge the best interests of the residents of Burnaby.
pipeline by building a second pipeline alongside the original. Our goal for the entire route has been to build adjacent to the existing pipeline within our existing right-of-way. However, sometimes there are good

reasons to look at other options, such as safety concerns, residential or industrial development that has expanded since the original pipeline was built, or environmental considerations.
Unfortunately, demonstrators chose to block our crews from doing their work and, in order to maintain the safety of our employees, contractors and the public, we were forced to pursue legal action to secure our worksite. Freedom of speech is fundamental to our way of life. Equally so is the Canadian right to go to work and conduct business safely. We have always believed these two principles can coexist if we all communicate.
We’ve been engaging with Aboriginal groups, Landowners, communities and stakeholders since April 2012. We’ve reached agreements with 18 Aboriginal groups, to date. The current work on Burnaby Mountain is to study the proposed route through Burnaby Mountain. Our application is before the National Energy

Board, an independent federal agency, to determine if the project should be approved to proceed in Canada’s best interest. Ultimately, the federal government will make the final decision.
We have conducted many workshops and open houses, met with thousands of people and continue to respond to questions daily. The feedback we have received to date has made our project better and has resulted in important changes to our route.
The National Energy Board has a recognized process to voice concerns, ask questions and introduce evidence for consideration.
Trans Mountain made a commitment to everyone who participated in our consultation that we would listen closely and do our best to respond to concerns.
Over 1,600 people in BC and Alberta have registered to participate. If approved to proceed, construction of the
Our work on Burnaby Mountain is part of keeping that commitment.
expansion would begin in mid-2016 and would be in operation by late 2018.
On behalf of all the people who work on the pipeline and project, I truly hope we can keep talking throughout the process. Your input is important to us. We’ll be providing more opportunities for dialogue including our upcoming telephone town hall on December 3rd. Go to TransMountain.com to sign up. We welcome the opportunity to talk.
Many other project details and information about upcoming opportunities for dialogue can be found on our website www.TransMountain.com

THANK YOU ...to all the people who helped me during the election run. To all of the civic election candidates who participated during the civic election, I wish you all the best, and I congratulate you on running for local government and to the winners who have acquired their position through a democratic process. Remember the relationship of trust with your constituents is, and will be your number one concern. I know you will all work together on the vision of Chilliwack’s future. The most important thank you, goes towards the people of Chilliwack who have made this election successful by participating in this democratic process.
Thank you PHILL BRUCE CircusWest brings A Circus in Wonderland to Chilliwack Dec. 14.
CircusWest blends theatre and circus talent Get ready for a whirling ride of colour and acrobatics – and Alice Through the Looking Glass as you’ve never seen it before. CircusWest brings A Circus in Wonderland to the HUB International Stage on Dec. 14 at 2 p.m. in what promises to be one of the most breathtaking displays of athletic and creative prowess of the season. The familiar Wonderland characters take on brand new roles in the world created by CircusWest: meet the Jabberwocky on stilts, watch the acrobatic antics of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, and cheer on Alice as she navigates her way across a giant chessboard with trickery only circus training could provide! This immersive experience is a blend of theatre, circus performance, art show, and more. Projections provide a vibrant background for the constant action as a multitude of performers bend, twist, and swing through a world where up is down and front is back. And perhaps most amazingly of all, the performers are all between the ages of 12 and 19, proving Continued: CIRCUS/ p42 CANADIAN HOME BUILDERS’ ASSOCIATION OF THE FRASER VALLEY

THE ROTARY CHRISTMAS PARADE On behalf of Chilliwack City Council, I would like to offer my sincere gratitude to the Rotary Club of Chilliwack, the Rotary Club of Chilliwack/Fraser and the Rotary Club of Mt. Cheam and their many volunteers for hosting our beloved Christmas parade for the second year in a row. I am continually amazed how the clubs are able to rise to a given occasion and handle any challenge that comes their way. Last year’s parade was held on one of the coldest days I can remember. Even though it was well below freezing with a bitter wind, the volunteers worked their magic and put on a parade to remember. I was amazed by the tenacity of the many volunteers and grateful for their willingness to go above and beyond our expectations on that frigid evening. As a City, we are proud to cosponsor the annual Christmas parade and hope our residents enjoy the festivities that Rotary has worked so hard to create.

We look forward to a continued collaborative approach on future endeavours and hope each of you can come downtown this December to support the parade. Mayor Sharon Gaetz, City of Chilliwack Honorary Member

CIRCUS from page 41 age is no barrier when creating and putting on a fantastic show. “The CirKids have put in many years to learn, develop, and refine their special skills,” says artistic director Jay Nunns. “The challenge we have is that we are also building skills at the same time that we are constructing the show. It’s a fine balance that we endeavour to manage each year.” The result is a twirling kaleidoscope of colour and action, from unicycles, to aerial acrobatics, to tightrope walking. Feats of balance, flexibility, and agility follow each other one after another in an action-packed performance that puts audiences on the edge of their seats. The performers twirl and bounce across the stage, flying high on ribbons and trapezes, bounding in and around a giant castle made of cards. In one particularly stunning act of balance, the performers stack eight bicycles into a tower – and ride the result around the stage. This is a perfect circus show for the whole family, making a great introduction to carnival acts for all ages. A Circus in Wonderland shows off the best in young talent – and might just inspire your kids to take up acrobatics in their spare time. Travis Paterson is a performance student at CircusWest. He started with the troupe in Grade 5, after a field trip to see a one of their shows. “I remember it so clearly – sitting back in the seats, being so into it,” he says. “The show hadn’t even started yet and I was in love!” Tickets are available now from the Chilliwack Cultural Centre box office at 604-391-SHOW(7469) or online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca. Tickets are only $10 a seat, making this the perfect show for a family outing.

Your Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce is looking back on 2014; thankful for another gratifying year as your â&#x20AC;&#x153;Voice of Business.â&#x20AC;? We have enjoyed the increased connection with our valued members, and the business community as a whole. Also, we have dealt with many issues facing entrepreneurs in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business environment and had great success. The Chamberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with local and provincial governments is a key to creating a healthy business environment in Chilliwack. Our Policy Committee is always looking for ways to bring relevant issues to the attention of these governments. Some huge successes we had in the past are the rejection of Bylaw 280 by environmental Minister Polak, and the creation of a municipal bylaw to regulate derelict and vacant buildings in Chilliwack. We hosted our first 12@12 meeting where we sat down with 12 different business owners, with the sole purpose finding additional ways to increase the value of the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce. Increasing our connection and value is always a goal of the Chamber; stay tuned for more on these 12@12 meetings in the new year. The Chamber is proud to support the initiative from
Community Services; giving toys to children and families who are less fortunate. Please bring an unwrapped toy when you attend the Christmas Chamber Connections on Dec 16th, at Sutton Showplace Realty on Young Road. In addition to remembering those less fortunate during the Holiday Season, we sincerely hope you will continue to support your community by shopping local. We have great local businesses, with everything needed to impress all those on your Christmas list. During Manufacturing Month (October), in partnership with the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters, for the very first time, we hosted a Manufacturing Tour in Chilliwack. It was an overwhelming success! We visited Tycrop, IMW, UFV Trades & Technology Centre, IMW and Soprema. All are very innovative in training and manufacturing; also providing great jobs right here in Chilliwack. These businesses really put Chilliwack on the map as they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just manufacture products for local and Canadian markets, but they invent, innovate and manufacture for many international markets. We are very proud of our local manufacturers and are encouraged by their continued success.

The tour is open to all Chamber members, their families and friends, and we have also opened it up to general public. This trip includes the following: Round-trip International airfare from Vancouver; 4 and 5 Star Hotel accommodations; Three meals per day; All tour fees; All in country transportation and airfare; Experienced English speaking tour guides. Deadline to book this trip is December 19, 2014.

Chilliwack who’ve had success, like the Chiefs and minor football, and ask them, ‘How have you been successful?” he said. “I want to implement some of those ideas, and eventually, I’d like to get CMLA to the point where other associations are coming to us, asking us what we’re doing right.” A key component of Scott’s plan is getting the game into schools, talking to principals and teachers to refine the lacrosse curriculum that already exists. He’s also working on the
aboriginal side through the BC Lacrosse Association. “If we can get a stick in some child’s hand, they will love lacrosse just as much as they’d love any other sport,” Scott promised. “What I care about is kids having fun, learning and at the end of the year they’re happy that they played. That’s the big picture for me.” Another of Scott’s ideas is to get CMLA’s lengthy list of alumni involved. Several locals have gone on from Chilliwack
to do great things in lacrosse. Ashley Heisler and Tanner Olsen have secured NCAA scholarships in the last couple years, with Brydan Heisler set to join them next fall. The Porter boys, Colton and Zack, are hard-nosed players with the senior A Maple Ridge Burrards. Chilliwackians have found their way into intermediate, junior and senior leagues in box and field lacrosse. “A lot of our more recent alumni are down
south now, or somewhere in BC creating contacts with people in the lacrosse community,” Scott said. “And a lot of our past alumni are still living locally, and they now have children. We want to get all of them re-engaged with the game.” Scott’s grand vision is to take people who have no concept of lacrosse and make them believers. One at a time. Child and adult. To that end, he issues a challenge. “I want people to
know the game and understand the game,” he said. “When’s the last time you watched a lacrosse game live? Come out. I will come out with you. I will stand beside you and explain it.” ● CMLA is holding a special general meeting Dec. 7 to vote on a new constitution and by-laws. The gathering starts at 7 p.m. in the Prospera Centre meeting room, and more info can be found online at chilliwacklacrosse.com.

Sports Cascades grounded by Griffins
The MacEwan Grif fins completed a weekend sweep of the University of the Fraser Valley in women’s basketball action on Saturday evening, winning 75-58 in Abbotsford. Kelly O’Hallahan led the charge for the Griffins, racking up 20 points, 10 rebounds and six assists. Megan Wood and Kendall Lydon chipped in with 17 points apiece as MacEwan (6-2) solidified its grip on second place in the Explorers Division of Canada West. Fifth-year centre, and Chilliwack native, Sarah Wierks (15 points, 12 rebounds) and sophomore guard Hailey Kendall (11 points, 10 boards) both posted double-doubles for the Cascades, who fell to 4-4 and sit third in the Explorers Division. It was the last game of the semester for both teams, and they return to regular season action in January. The Cascades host the Mount Royal Cougars Jan. 9-10. UFV was missing veteran starters Nataliia Gavryliuk and Katie Brink due to injury both nights vs. MacEwan, and were coming off a 77-48 loss in Friday’s opener. “I thought tonight we had some people kind of step up to the plate a little bit and learn to play a little bit tougher,” said Cascades head coach Al Tuchscherer. “I think a weekend
like this, as hard as the results are to take, it’s a great opportunity for some of our younger kids and some of our kids who haven’t played a lot of minutes for us this year to get their feet wet. I saw Hailey Kendall rise to the occasion a little bit here tonight and really get gritty and get tough. Dani Vanbergen came in and I thought played some good minutes for us. I think it’ll serve us well down the road.” Fifth-year point guard Celeste Dyck chipped in with 11 points and five assists for the Cascades, while Kaitlyn McDonald hit a trio of shots from beyond the arc to finish with nine points. “We have a lot to work on over the Christmas break,” Kendall said. “But we were definitely getting after it a lot more than last game. They were much more aggressive than we were the first night, and then tonight we kind of came out and answered them a little bit.”

Chiefs survive scare
Chilliwack Chief Brandon Potomak sneaks past two Surrey defenders during a Saturday night BCHL match at Prospera Centre, won 5-3 by the home team. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
The Chilliwack Chiefs are home Wednesday night, taking on the Langley Rivermen in a 7 p.m. start. The game includes a special raffle draw raising funds for the St. Mary’s School playground project.
The Chilliwack Chiefs were spooked by the cellar-dwelling Surrey Eagles Saturday night at Prospera Centre, and only a late rally saved the locals from dubious defeat. The Chiefs overcame a two goal deficit in the final five minutes, scoring four goals in 4:26 to win 5-3. Ugly as it was, the Chiefs improved to 17-80-1 while Surrey fell to a league-worst 3-20-0-3. The feisty Eagles surprised the Chiefs in the first period of this one. Surrey opened the scoring at 6:15 on a goal by Spencer Unger. Quinn Lenihan and Sam Chatterley did the heavy lifting, digging the puck out of the right corner. Chatterly emerged from the scrum, took the puck to the net and fed a pass across the goal-mouth to Unger. The Surrey native had a tap-in behind Chiefs stopper David Poirier. Chilliwack tied the game at 10:04 on Rory Bell’s fifth of the year. The Ontario native flew into the Surrey zone, launching a shot at Eagle keeper Tyler Read. The goalie got his glove up, but forgot to squeeze, punching the rebound back into the slot.
Attention
S R O I N E S
Bell collected the puck, chipping it up and over Read. But the Eagles regained the lead 62 seconds later when Darius Davidson got his stick on a Nicholas Beck point shot, fooling Poirier with a redirect. Davidson’s teamleading eighth sent Surrey to the break with a 2-1 lead, and he supplied the third Eagle goal shorthanded at 3:01 of period two. This was one that Poirier would definitely want back, with Davidson gliding over the Chilliwack blueline and beating the goalie over the glove from above the circles. His tally finally woke up the home side. The Chiefs spent the remainder of the period attacking in waves, but they couldn’t beat Read. Tipper Higgins put a puck behind the White Rock native on a hot shot from the slot, only to see it ping off the cross-bar. Down by two heading to the third, you’d have expected the home team to come out breathing fire. But with five minutes remaining, Chilliwack had gained no ground against a tenacious Eagles squad desperate for a win. Opponents matter, however, and a team like Surrey is prone to the late collapse. The Chiefs got within one at 15:07 on a power play snipe by Jake Hand, who beat Read on a wrist shot from the
top of the left faceoff circle. Newcomer Bennett Morrison’s point shot into traffic was tipped by Hand, tying the game at 17:10. Chilliwack captain Eric Roberts completed the comeback at 18:23. The 19 year old scored his first of the year in dramatic fashion, firing a hard shot past Read from the left point. With 27.1 seconds left, Kurt Black iced the game with an empty netter. ● Morrison was picked up in a trade with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks late last week. The 18 year old Ontario native was acquired for future considerations. Bennett is 25 games into his first BCHL season, with two goals and seven points to show for it. The trade was necessary with Chief blueliners Olivier Arseneau, Brandon Tkachuk and Mark Esposito still sidelined. ● The Chiefs are back on the radar in the national rankings, earning an honourable mention in the Canadian Junior Hockey League’s latest top 20. Penticton is the topranked BCHL team at No. 6. The Nanaimo Clippers are No. 17 and the Vernon Vipers also earned an honourable mention.
