France honours local paratroopers Greg Knill The Progress Seventy years ago Peter Braidwood was kneeling over the open bomb-bay hatch of a twin-engine Albemarle bomber. Below him the tufted waters of the English channel sped past at 170 mph. It was a little after midnight on June 6, 1944 – D-Day. Braidwood and his nine comrades were the very sharp tip of an invasion spear that would eventually total more than a quarter-million men. Their job was to drop behind the Normandy defences, secure a landing zone for the rest of their parachute battalion flying

30 minutes behind, and cut the key bridges and roads leading to the frontline on a beach code-named Juno. With the windows of the plywood-sheathed bomber blacked out, the only place to see what was happening was through the open hatch in the floor. The Albemarle had long since dropped its last bomb. Obsolete almost from the start of the war, the aircraft was now used to transport paratroopers, or tow gliders into conflict. The idea was to fool the Germany defences into thinking the planes were simply part of another bombing raid heading inland. Instead, they carried members of the First Canadian

Parachute Battalion. Braidwood was a 20-year-old kid from Manitoba. He had moved to Canada from Scotland in 1938 after the death of his parents. When war came, he left the farm where he worked and joined the Canadian Parachute Battalion, which was stationed at Shilo. They trained by jumping out of dirigibles, preparing for an invasion everyone knew was coming, but no one knew where. It was a massive undertaking and remains the largest seaborne invasion in history. But before the first troops hit the beach, thousands of American, British and Canadian paratroop-

ers were dropped from the night skies. Braidwood, with his hands on either side of the open hatch, watched as the water skimmed past 500 feet below. He had nearly 85 pounds of supplies strapped to his tiny frame. “I had to be pushed into the plane,” he says with a smile, his Scottish accent still evident after more than seven decades. He had no doubt he would survive the assault. But he remembers thinking, as he watched the water turn to beach, and then to the bristled fortifications of Hitler’s Atlantic Wall, “What the hell am I doing here?” Continued: HONOUR/ p4

Officials in the Fraser Valley are racing to quell the spread of avian flu. Four farms have been quarantined after a ‘high path’ strain of the H5 Avian influenza was detected this week. Two broiler farms in Chilliwack are among the four, and their locations have not been identified. It’s also not yet known how the virus touched down on the farms, but Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) reps are working to contain the strain of highly pathogenic virus, identified as H5N2. They’re trying to avoid a similar situation as the last time they faced a low-path strain of the virus. They’re so much further ahead now, said Ray Nickel, spokesman for the B.C. Poultry Association. “So much has changed,” he told The Progress. Improvements, from annual inspections, and mandatory bio security, to sampling and surveillance will make a difference. One of the key messages is a reminder to the public that “it’s an animal health issue, not a human health issue,” he said. Cook the food properly and it poses no risk to human health. In 2008, the B.C. agriculture ministry unveiled a new $14-million lab in Abbotsford. The lab would allow response to outbreaks “faster and more efficiently.” The Fraser Valley is “highly concentrated” as a region with poultry farming activity, as well as dairy operations. “That’s why we have these strategies in place,” Nickel said. How they handle visitors, service people and contractors on their farms have changed since the incidents. What he termed the “feather and dairy” group, meaning poultry and dairy farmers, in fact make up 40 per cent of the farm gate in the province.

The very brightest night of the year in Chilliwack is set for Saturday. The 2014 Rotary Christmas Parade kicks off and the floats start moving out at 5:30 p.m. But there is also a whole bunch of pre-parade excitement planned, which means everyone can spend part of the day checking it all out. The pre-parade fun starts at 1 p.m, with two entertainment stages, food trucks and more. The other innovation for 2014 is they’ll be live-streaming the parade at

www.chilliwackchristmasparade.com so out-of-town relatives can watch with glee as their loved ones go by on a brightly lit float. “The live streaming is new for this year and something we’re excited about,” said parade organizer Sharon Dueck. Organizers listened to the feedback from last year and the start time was made earlier at 5:30 to make it easier on young families. Chilliwack Firefighters will also be collecting non-perishable items along the parade route for the local food bank. “Bring a food item or some cash,”

she said. “Dress for the weather, and bring your smiles, too! It’s looking just great.” There will be some limited covered seating for those with limited mobility at Mill Street and Wellington. Early Saturday afternoon an outdoor market with food trucks sets up near the entertainment stage featuring performances by Chilliwack musicians Matt Lowen, Trevor McDonald, and Todd Richard. On Wellington near Mill Street, the Vineyard Community Centre will be hosting an indoor market, starting at 2 p.m. with children’s crafts. A Continued: PARADE/ p6

News Legion of Honour presented to D-Day vets There was no time for an answer. As the jump light turned green, Braidwood folded his arms across his chest and tumbled head first through the hatch into the darkness. There were about 100 men assigned to this jump. But antiaircraft fire from the ground and confusion in the air scattered the planes like leaves. In his group, only about 30 men completed their objectives. Braidwood was among them, but he’s modest about what impact his contribution had on the assault. “I’m not sure we did any good,” he says with a laugh. However, the rest of the battalion did land; roads and bridges were cut, and the high ground overlooking the assault beaches was held, protecting the invading troops from fire. But not without cost. Of the 550 who went in more than half – 60 per cent – were killed, wounded or taken pris-

oner. That sacrifice was recognized in Chilliwack on Wednesday. Braidwood, along with Mission’s Ray Ward (who was injured in the jump that night) were presented France’s highest decoration by JeanChristophe Fleury, Consul General of France in Vancouver. “The French people will never forget the acts of bravery that accomplished

Canadians performed during D-Day to help restore our freedom,” Fleury said. The presentations were part of an ambitious effort by France to present the Legion of Honour to all surviving veterans of the D-Day invasion. Earlier this year, Chilliwack residents Len Fitzgerald and Walter Georgeson – who both landed at D-Day – were presented the medals.

Wednesday’s presentation came at the annual Christmas lunch of Bornewest, an association of airborne veterans centred here in Chilliwack. “It’s a unique group,” said Rollie Keith, who organized the event – one that displays a certain pride and camaraderie. Indeed, as toasts were made and anthems played, none came with as much hardy enthusiasm than the shout of “Airborne!” when glasses were raised to current and passed members. For Braidwood, his D-Day jump was not the end of his war. In continued through France and Belgium and into Holland. And it wasn’t his last jump, either. In March of 1945, Braidwood was among 16,000 paratroopers who landed in Germany on the eastern bank of the Rhine River in the largest airborne operation in history. Said Braidwood with a laugh: “You’d think after doing it once, I wouldn’t do it again.”

It’s only a few days since a little Chilliwack family was whisked of f the streets — and ever ything has changed. The homeless couple that folks read about in the Wednesday Progress, Anna and David, have secured an apartment with the help of caring Good Samaritans. Laura BourgoGravano Keeley reported on a social media site that the couple was settling into a cozy basement suite in Sardis, near the bus line. “David and Anna are now moved in. I found the most caring landlord anyone could ask for,” she wrote on a FB page known as S.P.A.R.K. The Vancouver man drove back to Chilliwack, to show

them his basement suite apartment with a backyard for their dog Jessie. He waived the damage deposit, and lowered the rent to $800. “He may even have a better job for David.” The landlord’s only request was to remain anonymous. The caring Samaritans also managed to get the couple a lap top and a cell phone each. “David would love to help the community out as we have for them.” They will likely help with an upcoming pizza night at Ruth and Naomi’s Mission. Ever yone who has contributed to the effort to stabilize this family was thanked profusely.

Gasoline price drop nearly done, says analyst Crude oil prices thought to be near bottom Jeff Nagel Black Press A petroleum industry expert says plunging crude oil prices may be close to a bottom, meaning B.C. motorists shouldn’t expect gasoline prices to fall much further. Metro Vancouver gas prices averaged $1.19 per litre Wednesday, down 17 per cent from their mid-summer plateau of around $1.42. Jason Parent, vice-president of consulting for MJ Ervin and Associates, said there may be room for gasoline prices to drop a little more at the pumps as a result of crude’s fall, but not a huge amount.

“We’re talking two or three cents,” Parent said. “Generally I see retail gas prices hovering around where they are right now – plus or minus five cents – and then creep up a little more in the spring.” Crude oil had run at more than US $100 a barrel for the first half of the year before falling 35 per cent to less than $70. Crude’s decline turned into a nose dive last week when the OPEC cartel announced it wouldn’t cut production to prop up oil prices, creating the spectre of a global supply glut and protracted low prices that could force some energy firms out of business. Some analysts have suggested crude

oil could fall as low as $30 a barrel. “I just don’t see that,” Parent said. “I’m of the opinion that while we may not be at the bottom in terms of crude prices, I think we’re getting pretty close to that range.” Parent said it would take an “epic” drop in the price of crude below its current level for gas prices to drop below $1 a litre, particularly in Metro Vancouver, where TransLink’s fuel tax adds 17 cents. “You guys are taxed more than anyone else in the country,” he said. Parent said gasoline prices in Canada haven’t fallen as much as in the U.S. because of the decline in the Canadian dollar against the U.S. greenback.

So where are they at? They’ve been down this road before, he said. They will be extra careful, including surrounding farms in the lockdown. Part of the reason for the regional risk, as is being suggested, may be the high number of migratory birds passing over the Fraser Valley in particular. “It means typically we are more at risk. But the message is we’re managing that risk,” said Nickel. He also underlined, again, the food products are safe for the

public to eat. The chicken, the turkey, the eggs, all of it. “Farmers are concerned, worried and a bit frustrated,” he told The Progress this week. On Monday the news came out that two farms were hit with H5 and then two more on Wednesday. All birds have been or are slated to be euthanized and farmers compensated. In 2004, 17 million poultry were slaughtered after an avian flu with high pathogenicity, or illness severity spread across valley farms. While 14 million were cleared to hit the market, three million diseased birds were

News A quarter of health workers refuse flu vaccine

■ C HRISTMAS T RADITION

Those who didn’t get flu shot must wear mask Jeff Nagel Black Press About a quarter of Fraser Health’s fulltime employees had not yet received the flu shot ahead of a Dec. 1 vaccination deadline and are now expected to wear masks in patient care areas of hospitals, long-term care homes and other health facilities. The health authority’s flu vaccination rate of 75 per cent as of Monday for full-timers will likely continue to improve as more health care workers get the shot in the weeks ahead, according to interim chief medical health officer Dr. Victoria Lee. Counting all staff – part-timers as well – the vaccination rate was 70 per cent, slightly better than 69 per cent at this point a year ago. “It’s very important we protect our patients from influenza and this is the best way to protect the most vulnerable,” Lee said. The provincial policy to get a flu shot or wear a mask has been criticized by the B.C. Nurses Union, which lost a grievance over the order last year. Union officials say they remain opposed to it being mandatory and say a requirement that a nurse wear a mask could alarm cer-

☎

tain anxious patients and create risky situations. Visitors to Fraser Health facilities must also wear masks if they’re not vaccinated. The staff vaccination rate in the Vancouver Coastal health region was 62 per cent as of Monday. This year’s flu shot is not expected to be as effective as usual against the dominant influenza virus circulating this winter, but public health officials still urge people – especially the elderly and other vulnerable groups – to get vaccinated so they have as much protection as possible. An estimated 3,500 Canadians die each year from flu complications – mainly seniors and others with underlying conditions.

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.

Dishonourable conduct Lawyers acting on behalf of the federal government this week are arguing in B.C.’s Supreme Court that Canada has no covenant with its military veterans, and that any promises made to them can be adjusted at will by elected representatives. This is the government’s line of defence against a class-action suit being pursued by the Lower Mainland-based Equitas Society on behalf of disabled veterans. The society has long argued – with supporting evidence of those struggling with lingering physical and mental injuries – that the government’s policy of lump-sum payments to wounded veterans is paltry compensation indeed for those willing to sacrifice their lives for the principles we hold dear. No matter what one believes about a suitable level of compensation for veterans – which is a matter for our lawmakers – to argue flatly that Canada has no covenant with its sons and daughters in the military is shocking, both in its moral insensitivity and sheer lack of political astuteness. It goes against what every Canadian has been raised to believe. Many times we have been reminded by our politicians that we owe our veterans a debt that can never be repaid. Yet, some are tacitly supporting dishonourable measures that seek, by legal

maneuvers, to devalue and dismiss that service. At the heart and core of what it means to be a Canadian are principles of service and sacrifice, particularly in dark days when peace and democracy are threatened. Many lay down their lives in that conflict, while others endure wounds both seen and unseen for the rest of their days. It is their service that we honour every November at cenotaphs across this land, along with poppy-sporting politicians who are swift to lay wreaths and spout platitudes. Our representatives should remember the words of then-prime minister Sir Robert Borden to Canadian troops preparing to go into battle at Vimy Ridge in 1917: “You can go into this action feeling assured of this, and as the head of the government I give you this assurance, that you need have no fear that the government and the country will fail to show just appreciation of your service to the country in what you are about to-do and what you have already done…no man, whether he goes back or whether he remains in Flanders, will have just cause to reproach the government for having broken faith with the men who won and the men who died.” ~ Black Press

Climate concerns as the warmest year nears Last weekend’s cold outblast notwithstanding, this winter is potentially shaping up to be warmer and dryer than normal. “El Nino is here and it’s now bobbing up and down in the water,” said David Phillips, senior climatologist with Environment Canada. “For the west coast, we’re calling for a milder than normal winter. We will see over the next week or so that it will warm up to more normal temperatures. December will be milder than normal. So the warm-up is beginning and will hold true during the winter.” It was El Nino that produced the mild winter in Canada in 2009/10 which was among the warmest winters on record. It was made all the more memorable when we had to truck in snow from Manning Park and the Interior for the 2010 Winter Olympics. But this current warming trend has been getting well

established throughout the fall. “With fall mean temperatures at 12.72 degrees C (1.82 degrees C above normal), it was the mildest September to November period since Chilliwack records started in 1895,” said Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. “Mean temperatures (for November) and Margaret total rainfall were slightly above EVANS normal. However, for the third consecutive year, the Chilliwack area received no measurable November snowfall, a trend not seen for 14 years.” November sported some pretty memorable extremes of temperature. The 35th record breaking high temperature of the year happened on November 6.

“The temperature peaked for the month at 19.6 degrees C (8.9 degrees C above normal) and smashing the previous record for the day at 17.8 degrees c in 1960,” said Pannett. “It was the warmest November day in Chilliwack in 39 years since the 20.6 degrees C on November 4 1975. Even night temperatures were record breakers. Pannett said that, during the night of November 26th/27th, temperatures peaked at a record-breaking 15.0 degrees C (warmer than a summer night!), an amazing 13.6 degrees C above normal and exceeding the previous record maximum of 13.0 degrees C in 1980. Then it all did a backflip. “During the evening of November 28th, with the Arctic front and an associated brief snowfall in the gusty, northeast winds, temperatures dropped to -19.8 degrees C in 24 hours!” said

The Chilliwack

Progress

Pannett. This fall warming trend has been shaping up globally. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, “The globally averaged temperature over land and ocean surfaces for October 2014 was the highest on record for the month since record keeping began in 1880. It also marked the 38th consecutive October with a global temperature above the 20th century average.” The UN World Meteorological Organization (WMO) stated that the global averaged temperature from Januar y to October was the highest on record. The high October temperature was driven by warmth across the globe over both land and ocean surfaces. It was fairly evenly distributed between the northern and southern hemispheres. The Southern Hemisphere had its hottest October on record and

the Northern Hemisphere had its third warmest. According to the WMO, the Tokyo Climate Centre, which is a WMO Regional Climate Centre, also repor ted that October was the hottest on record. The data was confirmed by NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. On December 3, WMO’s provisional statement on the Status of the Global Climate stated that “The year 2014 is on track to be one of the hottest, if not the hottest, on record according to preliminar y estimates. This is largely due to record high global sea surface temperatures, which will very likely remain above normal until the end of the year.” Given those stats, this puts 2014 ahead of previous hot years 2010, 2005, and 1998 confirming the underlying long-term warming trend.

New council called on to speak up about pipeline place as an intervenor. Using this reasoning, council denied a delegation request to Council in December to present to the new council about concerns regarding the Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal. The city does have commenter status so our elected officials should be equipped with the knowledge to understand a project that could damage Chilliwack’s aquifers and salmon streams, put first responders at risk, and ruin greenhouse gas emission targets. Given the recent situation on Burnaby

Mountain, council could be working to understand the project’s implications for the enforcement of municipal bylaws and costs to first responders rather than relying on the FVRD during such an important project review. We hope that the new city council does not set a precedent for refusing to hear the concerns of residents regarding issues that will affect many people in the city.

Time to brighten up I live directly across from an elementary school and the Rotary park. Well over half the adults walk with their children and pets on the curb side of the street. Young Road is very busy sometimes and not all drivers are defensive. Not good. Now that it’s darker, black umbrellas and dark clothes make people unseen targets. A ride to hospital or worse is not cool. Please brighten up, folks. Don’t be an obit in the next paper!

After days of cold, dry weather, I have to question why the City of Chilliwack feels it is necessary to spread de-icing compound all over the city streets? Last time I checked you need moisture in the air to create snow or ice. If there is a chance of snow then I guess I could understand. When does it become a driver’s responsibility to

In your recent article, “Pipeline protest in Burnaby being felt all the way to Chilliwack,” (The Progress, November 26) it was mentioned that questions about pipeline risks and safety are being raised by Chilliwack residents about issues that are of direct interest to them. As other municipalities have fought to protect the rights of landowners, the safety of residents, and the health of ecosystems during the review process for the Kinder Morgan pipeline expansion, Chilliwack has chosen to have the FVRD act in its

What goes around... There was yet another breakin at the local MCC Thrift Store. As a charitable, Christian organization, the Mennonite Central Committee works in over 60 countries, helping people in need. Locally, MCC’s many programs include abuse counselling, help with unemployment, First Nations related issues, assistance for patients suffering from mental illness, HIV Aids, various disabilities, and more. MCC Thrift Stores provide a meaningful way to generate

funds for these programs, and the kind-hearted generosity of donors allows to offer affordable (often free) goods for young families and those on a tight budget. In order to keep cost at a minimum, these stores are run mainly by volunteers who generously give of their time. Those people who broke into the store obviously do not care about MCC’s work, and also don’t seem to realize that there are always consequences for ones’ own actions. I have learned

that life is like a boomerang. Whatever we throw out, be it kindness or hatred, will eventually come back to us. As we celebrate another Christmas season may we reflect on its true meaning and the kindness of God who sent His Son, Jesus Christ, offering to take away the consequences for the sin that separates us from our heavenly Father.

Chilliwack teens urged to follow their dreams Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Sardis secondar y grad Jason Chabot admits he battled selfdoubt at times in his life — especially as a teenager. But now he is a published author, as well as a chief financial officer for a Vancouver firm. Chabot was visiting local schools in his hometown of Chilliwack on Wednesday and Thursday, in part to remind young people to actively and passionately follow their dreams. He spoke about his journey, and what it has taken to see his sci-fi book project come to fruition. Chabot is a proud graduate of Sardis secondary, class of 1992. He spent his childhood growing up in beautiful Ryder Lake. He earned the prestigious GovernorGeneral’s Award for Academic Excellence before heading out of town to complete an honours degree in commerce at UBC. “For many years

Jason Chabot, a Sardis Secondary grad who recently published his first book, was back in Chilliwack this week to share his story with students.

after that, I crunched numbers as a chartered accountant, but over the past 12 months, my career has changed in a dramatic and exciting way.” His debut novel, Below, aimed at young readers, was published by Harper Collins Canada this summer with the tagline: “No

one but the dead dare to venture below.” It’s the first of an exciting for thcoming trilogy that he has titled The Broken Sky Chronicles, and the second novel is already written and in the bag, with more twists and turns coming. “Though it was a challenging path to take, I

was able to accomplish this by writing whenever I could spare the time from my demanding job as a chief financial officer in Vancouver. And it was totally “worth it” in the end, he noted. “More importantly, I hope students will find inspiration in my story so they never

doubt themselves when it comes to goals they want to achieve, no matter how grand or unattainable those goals may seem to be,” he told The Progress. Besides class presentations at various grade levels, he was also set to host some workshops for those teens interested in creative writing and/or a career as a writer. Want some more fun facts about Chabot? He once ate fish eyeballs as part of a Survivor type competition in Chilliwack. He was robbed at what he thought was gunpoint while working as a bank teller, has clung to the outside of a speeding train, and dined with a real-life princess. Chabot has won trophies for competitive ballroom dancing, as well as public speaking. See more about a author at www.jasonchabot.com.

Crash leads to gunpoint arrest Chilliwack RCMP arrested a suspect at gunpoint Thursday morning after he ran away from a car accident. Police first noticed the suspect around 9:30 a.m., driving a newer model Mercedes north on Broadway Street. The officer found it suspicious, and flicked on lights and sirens to try and get the car pulled over. Instead, RCMP say the suspect stepped on the gas and sped

off. Soon after, the man allegedly went through a stop sign at Young Road and Brooks Avenue, slamming into two vehicles. He got out and ran away, setting off a brief manhunt that ended when the he was found, hiding in someone’s backyard, curled up in a ball amongst blackberry bushes. The man was taken to Chilliwack General Hospital.

Another person involved in the accident sustained minor injuries. A section of Young Road was closed down for a significant time, opening shortly after 3 p.m. Police are asking any witnesses to the accident to call 604792-4611 with file number 201441699, or call Crime Stoppers (anonymously) at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Five pedestrian deaths in 11 days across B.C. String of incidents draws warning from B.C. Coroners Service B.C.’s chief coroner is warning drivers and walkers to take extra care after five elderly pedestrians were killed in intersections over the past 11 days.

Barb McLintock said two of the deaths happened in Vancouver and there have been one each in New Westminster, Kelowna and Oliver between

Nov. 23 and Dec. 3. In four of the five cases, the pedestrians – who ranged in age from 73 to 87 – were struck by vehicles making lefthand turns. In the fifth case, the vehicle was going straight through the intersection.

A review by the B.C. Coroners Service of 142 similar fatalities from 2010-2012 showed seniors over age 70 are more than twice as likely as any other age group to die in a pedestrian incident. It also showed that in cases where pedestrians were crossing at an intersection on a green light, more than two-thirds of the drivers who struck them were making a left-hand turn. “The need for extra care increases in the winter months when longer hours of darkness and frequent poor road and weather conditions lead to an increased number of pedestrian incidents,” McLintock said. She noted the review showed more than a quarter of all the deaths happened in January and February.

Wellness Wishing you a happy, stress-free holiday Christmas is less than a month away, are you excited? Or are you a wee bit stressed? With the exception of those who still believe in Santa Claus, most people seem to err on the side of ‘feeling stressed’ around the holidays. Small talk about the weather (we like talking about the weather in Chilliwack) is replaced with “Are you ready for Christmas?” So what does, “being ready” really mean? Does it mean preparing brilliant Christmas entertaining platters, getting that perfect gift for the ‘hard to buy’ people on your list, celebrating the season with a new glittery outfit, baking all 12 family favourite Christmas cookies, preparing the perfect, plump turkey (on one or more occasion) and yes, sticking to your workout and diet regime? I think this time of year is wonderful, but if you fall into the holiday trap of trying to do everything for everyone, it can also be incredibly stressful. If you love doing all the Christmas-y activities, and feel like it’s very manageable, then go ahead and enjoy it. However, if you feel overwhelmed with all that needs to be done, know that you don’t have to do it all. Do this simple exercise to make your holiday to-do list more manageable and give yourself permission to relax a little.

The exercise is called a brain dump. This version is geared toward the holidays, but you can do it anytime of the year. I do, and it’s wonderful! Here’s how it goes: • Write a list of all the tasks and activities you need to do around the holidays. Separate the tasks into a ‘daily list’ (things you do daily such as preparing meals, Tanja work, spending SHAW time with family, commuting, workouts, etc.). Create a weekly list (things you do 1-2 times per week) and a ‘one-off’ list (things you will likely only need to do only a few times, such as holiday shopping, writing Christmas cards, preparing holiday meals, decorating, holiday parties, baking, etc.). • Allot an amount of time to each activity. • Now you’re ready for the fun part. Place a star beside all the tasks that are important to you, that you enjoy doing. Be honest- do you really have to do everything on your list? Do you really need to bake 12 different kinds of cookies? Will your family really suffer? If you

really want to attend all the Christmas parties you’ve been invited to, then great! But if you really don’t want to go to a few, it’s not ‘star-worthy’. • Now ask, can you ‘simplify any of the starred activities? If you need to spend an entire day preparing a holiday meal (and don’t truly enjoy it), are there ways to simplify the task? Can you get help? Block time in your calendar to do the star-worthy activities. Maybe you’ll decide to go Christmas shopping next weekend, or go grocery shopping for the big day on the 23rd. • For everything that is not starred, you get to delegate or dump the task. Again, be honest. If you don’t need to do something (for example, someone else is capable of doing the task), delegate it. No one to delegate it to? Then dump it. This holiday season, I hope you can enjoy the time spent with loved ones rather than worrying about how you are going to tackle your ‘to-do’ list. Focus on the things you like to do, and have a relaxing, stressfree holiday season. Tanja Shaw is the owner of Ascend Fitness Inc., a private training studio.

Home&Garden

‘Christmas Rose’ offers a special winter treat In old-fashioned gardens, Helleborus niger, or the ‘Christmas Rose’, was certainly one of the best known winter flowers, and in 2005 the whole helleborus family was chosen as the Perennial Plant of the Year. The earliest to flower, H. niger, is native to many parts of Europe, in parBrian ticular MINTER to the subalpine woods of Austria and northern Italy, and many varieties are available, some hardy to -30°F. Helleborus niger is so named because its roots are black; the blossoms, however, are pure white. Depending upon the type of winter we have and the variety of helleborus, blooming can begin in December and continue well into late March. The Heuger Company, under the leadership of Josef Heuger, has bred fabulous earlier blooming Christmas Roses that have glossy green leaves and offer superior garden performance. Their earliest to bloom are a large flow-

ered creamy white with a light pink reverse called ‘Mahogany Snow’ and a pure white beauty called ‘Jonas’. I love their reddish stems and compact, uniform appearance. Next is H.n. ‘Jacob’. It too blooms about two weeks earlier than other varieties. It has strong stems and upright blossoms that are far larger and showier. Its tough shiny green foliage allows it to be brought indoors in a cool room for the Christmas season and then be planted out in mild weather after the holiday season. Helleborus niger ‘Josef Lemper’ has very large flowers on robust stems, and it too is very showy because of its upward facing blooms. It has superior garden performance and makes a wonderful addition to our winter gardens. Today a whole new series of fabulous varieties, like ‘Cinnamon Snow’, ‘Merlin’, ‘Pink Frost’ and ‘Ivory Prince’, begin flowering through winter and into spring. ‘Snow Frills’ is my new ruffled favourite. Helleborus plants can be propagated from seed or from divisions; the latter is certainly the fast-

est way to achieve a blooming plant. Up until a few years ago, finding helleborus was difficult because they usually arrived bareroot from Holland and were exceedingly tough to re-root. With the growing interest, and with tissue culture and new seeding techniques, more perennial growers have begun producing them, and they are now quite plentiful. I would recommend that the home gardener purchase only well established plants that have been grown in a container for at least one year. Helleborus niger, like many other winterflowering plants, should be placed in a protected spot, next to a house, wall or in front of a protective barrier of evergreens, but always out of cold winter winds. The more protected their location, the earlier and longer they will bloom. They also prefer a semi-shaded site, but it is important that they receive some sun in winter. A location under deciduous trees is ideal, as long as the shade is not too dense. A cool, moist situation is preferred, and deep watering is essential during periods of drought. Any soil in your garden that

RE/MAX Nyda y Realtyy 21st Annual

produces good flowering plants will usually suit helleborus. Container-grown plants can be set out now, once the frost from our recent cold spell is out of the ground, especially in the Eastern Valley. It is wise to prepare a deep planting area because the roots must stretch down, not outward. It is also important to set the crowns of the plants just below the soil line. Good drainage is essential, as the fleshy roots will not tolerate wet feet, however, they love ‘humusy’ conditions. I have found a mixture of peat, bark mulch and bone meal helpful in the development of new root growth. Once established, helleborus plants need little care. Although aphids can sometimes be a problem, few other insects bother them. Even slugs tend to shy away from their bitter leaves. They love to be fertilized, and a feeding of 10-15-19 fertilizer in early spring and midsummer is ideal to help develop a strong root

system and plenty of flowers. You’ll find that most helleborus are rather slow growing perennials. It may take a year or two before they begin flowering in earnest. To get more plants, it is often tempting to divide smaller clumps in half, but you must be careful. No dividing should take place until the plants have at least a dozen or more strong leaves on a good sized clump. The larger the clump grows, the more bountiful the flowers. I always remember a fresh bouquet of Christmas Roses on my Grandmother’s hearth each Christmas. They are certainly a special winter treat. Today

Helleborus niger

many helleborus varieties are being grown in BC, and the first ones are now in bloom for planting outside in your garden or even in con-

tainers. Don’t’ miss out on these amazing winter plants and remember, they also make wonderful Christmas gifts.

Developing healthy habits that contribute to emotional well-being is a life-long process that takes regular maintenance. This includes the way we interact with others – an easily overlooked area of skill-development. Our last article on Dialectical Behaviour Therapy focuses on the acronym GIVE. This is a brief guide to becoming more effective when working with others. Practicing GIVE makes it likely that our, and others’ needs will be met, particularly during a discussion or negotiation. In order to get what you want, you need to GIVE. Below is the recipe for a win-win interaction. G is for Gentle Gentleness looks kind, calm and understanding. Gentleness is not attacking with words or adopting physically intimidating postures or gestures. It isn’t looking to bring the other person to submission, but calmly asking for what you want with a willingness to hear the other person’s side. I is for Interested Be interested in the other person. Listen and ask questions while you try to see the other per-

Perspectives

Practicing interpersonal effectiveness son’s point of view. This is a great opportunity to practice patience and a genuine curiosity about the other person’s perspective. Listening and hearing their point of view instead of impatiently waiting to say something can bring to light Marie common AMOS ground. Sometimes we defend our position so intently that we don’t notice pre-existing areas of agreement. V is for Validate Try to put yourself in the other person’s shoes, and let them know you can understand how they may be feeling or what they may be hoping to achieve in a particular situation. Acknowledging what it may be like for another person is a powerful way to help them feel understood, and is an important step in the process of working towards a compromise. E is for Easy Manner There is a Japanese proverb, “It is better to bend than to break.” This always reminds me of a tree in a windstorm – the branches that stay on the tree are the ones that swayed. The branches on the ground are those that refused to bend. An easy manner is one that makes jokes and smiles and might use a soft-sell approach. Both parties are often more willing to make adjustments when the mood is lighter – when one person digs in their heels and sternly insists on a point, that can often inspire the same response in the other person. As with any new skill, practice precedes improvement . In a discussion, particularly when one person feels strongly about the topic, it can be tempting to try and steam roll the other person. This can be done by closing our hearts and minds to the other person’s needs and position. By forcing your will onto another person, you may get what you want in the short-term, but it doesn’t make for a long-term, mutually fulfilling relationship.

The 12-hour event included three 30-minute games per team, open scrimmages, plus a high-jump, long-jump, and limbo competition.

body and mind, body connection and spirituality and this, combined with the untimely deaths of both her father and mother, led her to embark on a journey towards health and wellness. When her second child was three months old, she was diagnosed with a severe form of eczema and Mari began looking for a treatment method that would alleviate her condition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was encouraged to study Reiki as a means to treat my daughter. The more I researched it, the more I got excited to learn. It did help my daughter. I started doing Reiki for 20 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 30 minutes every night and in 3 months, I noticed an improvement.

Now, I realize that I am achieving my goal by teaching Reiki, the Japanese method of healing technique, in Canada.

Mari Okazaki is kind and gentle. She is a determined, hard-worker with an immense respect for history and tradition. As a young, Japanese woman, she learned the traditional art of the tea ceremony, flower arranging and calligraphy and eventually lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s circumstances led her to learn the Japanese healing art of Reiki. Mari was born in Montreal while her father worked for the Mitsubishi Corporation in Canada. At the age of 2, the family moved back to the Japanese port city of Yokohama. Two years later, Mariâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s father died. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My father had a fever and had to go to the hospital. He was given penicillin but he must have had an allergy to it which he didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. His doctor also didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know about it and he ended up dying,â&#x20AC;? she said. After her fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, her mother decided to move to Nagasaki. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We lived with four generations in the house,â&#x20AC;? she smiled gently. Her mother, who had worked as a hospital nutritionist before she was married, began working as a cook at a private, university dormitory as a means to support her family. From an early age, Mari learned the importance of self discipline and when she was just five, she began playing the piano. By the time that she entered high school until two years after university, she trained and competed in gymnastics. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I competed in what would be equivalent to our provincials here. I enjoyed the discipline. I had to be dedicated and focused to reach for the beauty of the body. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what I enjoyed most about gymnastics,â&#x20AC;? she explained. She attended Tokyo Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s College of Physical Education and received a Bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in Health and Physical Education. She came to Chilliwack to teach

New Year’s Resolution: Hot rides and buys for 2015 and fold for amazing versatility. The same 1.8L 4-clinder engine with 138hp will power this vehicle, either with FWD or AWD, through a continuously variable transmission or 6-cpeed manual. Pricing will be introduced closer to the introduction this coming spring. Built in Mexico, the HR-V will give Honda the same leg up that the original CR-V did for the small SUV segment.

This sixth generation Explorer marks the 25th anniversary of the iconic SUV, with over 350,000 sold in Canada so far.

Here are what I consider to be five important cars for 2015.

Chevrolet Volt It might surprise many people that the best selling electric car in Canada is the Chevrolet Volt, not the sexy Tesla Model S. There are many reasons for this, mainly the fact that the Volt provides all-electric transportation for 65 kms but with the aid of a small 4-cylinder generator to extend the range over 300 kms. This car has all of the upside of an electric car with none of the range limiting restrictions. In 2015, Chevrolet will introduce the second generation of Chevrolet Volt, one that hopes to improve on the usability of the car in terms of comfort and electric driving range. General Motors will showcase the next generation car in January at the Detroit Auto Show and the company’s CEO has stated that the new car “will store more energy in its battery pack with fewer cells, yet go further on a charge.” General Motors claims that 80 per cent of current Volt owners commute entirely on electric power, so any improvement to range will help increase this number. The Volt isn’t a huge volume seller for General Motors but this new model will help the company to showcase what it can do technologically. General Motors has the capability to produce some the most advanced cars on the road.

Honda HR-V Coming in 2015 is another SUV, smaller than the CR-V, helping to define the new subcompact SUV market. This little runabout is built off the excellent Honda Fit platform and will include many of the features that make that car a standout. The first is the interior of the HR-V. It will also feature Honda’s Magic Seats that flip

older 2.0L Ecoboost and provides a 270hp, a 13 per cent bump over the last version. The 290hp 3.5L V6 is carried over but the Sport trim and new Platinum trim will be fitted with the 365hp Ecoboost V6. Ford claims that styling is the number one purchase consideration so the shape was retained but new grille and LED headlamps help refresh the look.

If you’re in the market for a new car but don’t haven an unlimited budget, fear not, you have quite a few options. VW Golf ($18,995) The VW Golf is undeniably popular. With more than 30 million sold around the world since it first hit the streets, it just keeps getting better. For 2015, the ever-popular 3 or 5-door variant comes with a new engine, new architecture and new sheet metal. Based upon Volkswagen’s latest technological masterpiece, the “MQB Platform”, the Golf embodies the spirit of the original, and incorporates all of the latest engineering advances. It is the safest, besthandling and roomiest Golf of all time. Thanks to the use of highstrength steel, it’s more rigid, but also safe, with better handling. Though the Golf has grown in size it has dropped in weight by up to 35.8 kg/79 pounds (depending on model.) An all-new, 1.8L directinjected turbocharged engine, delivering 170 horsepower and 184 pound power it-feet of torque. The shape and design elements remain as defined, as ever, with a distinctive C-pillar and roofline framing classic Golf side windows, but the striking new front end and steeply sloped hood leave no doubt this is an all-new model. Subaru Legacy ($23,495)

This pint-sized 3-door Mini Cooper can be outfitted with a choice of two new engines. The all-new Subaru Legacy will pleasantly surprise those in need of a mid-size sedan with all-wheel drive. Priced under $24K, its trunk accommodates for 425L, there’s room for five, and its 2.5L, 4-cylinder engine produces 175 horsepower. On the base model, you have the choice of a 6-speed manual or an available Lineartronic CVT with paddle shifters and manual mode. One of the weakest points of the Legacy was probably the interior. For 2015, it’s significantly updated. Its infotainment system also receives a much needed revamping. Inside the entry-level Legacy 2.5i you’ll find an AM/FM stereo with SiriusXM satellite radio, a Radio Data Broadcast System, an in-dash CD player, a 6.2-inch multi-function touchscreen display, Subaru STARLINK connectivity with smartphone integration, a rear-view camera.

more, the multi-touch display offers swipe and scrolling gestures, similar to smartphones and tablets. MINI Cooper ($20,990) MINI’s street legal, go kartlike Cooper is now in its third generation and better than before. This pint-sized 3-door can be outfitted with a choice of two new engines: either a 3- cylinder engine with a peak output of 134 horsepower or, if you move up to the S trim, you’ll get a 4-cylinder engine with an output of 189. You can match either engine with either a 6-speed manual or an available 6-speed automatic. And as the MINI Cooper grows up, it also grows in dimensions. It’s 114 mm longer, 44 mm wider and 7 mm higher than its predecessor. Honda Fit ($14,495) Unveiled at the 2014 North American International Auto Show, the all-new, fivepassenger, five-door vehicle comes with style and flair. And just because it doesn’t have a huge price tag, it doesn’t mean you don’t get some pretty great standard features. Those include things like: Bluetooth connectivity, a multi-angle rearview camera, and Expanded View Driver’s Mirror. For customers looking for premium features in the subcompact segment, the Fit will be available with smart entry with push-button start, heated side mirrors, heated front seats, Honda’s exclusive LaneWatch display and a 7-inch Display Audio touchscreen interface with HondaLink smartphone connectivity. The 2015 Fit marks the debut of an all-new direct-injected 1.5-litre DOHC i-VTEC engine. It produces 130 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 114 lb.-ft.

of torque at 4,600 rpm. Engine output is increased by 13 horsepower and 8 lb-ft of torque compared to the outgoing engine For those who love the versatility of Honda’s exclusive Magic Seats, they continue through this generation. It provides an amazing 1492.3 L of cargo space when the second row seats are folded flat. Nissan Micra ($9,998) It’s small and comes with a small price tag, but expect big things from the all-new Nissan Micra. At one of Canada’s lowest MSRPs – it competes directly with the Mitsubishi Mirage for that title – it’s amazing what you can get for so little. The base model comes with manual windows and a manual transmission. It handles quite well and the cabin isn’t particularly loud when driving at highway speeds. The Micra is designed to not only meet or exceed Canadian safety regulations, but exceed them. Micra’s standard safety systems include the Nissan Advanced Air Bag System (AABS) (includes front supplemental air bags, front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental air bags, roofmounted curtain side-impact supplemental air bags), Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) and Traction Control System (TCS). Under its hood is a 1.6L, 4-cylinder engine that produces 109 horsepower and 107 lb-ft of torque. Okay, it’s not a lot but certainly enough to get you around. Available in three models, the Micra S, SV and top-of-theline SR, these micro cars will be able to be matched with a 5-speed manual transmission, or a 4-speed automatic transmission. Whether you’re looking for a hatchback, sedan, or a micro car, the 2015 model year has all-new vehicles in that segment and more. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Five stylish sets of wheels for 2015 Rob Rothwell

You can pay a fortune for a premium brand but you needn’t break the bank to buy wheels with style. Chrysler 200 (starting MSRP $19,945) Chrysler stunned the marketplace with the introduction of its completely new 200 Sedan, resetting benchmarks for style, panache, and performance within a fiercely competitive segment. And with a starting MSRP of just $19,945, the 200 undercuts many of its competitors, yet its real strength is found in its range of trim levels and power options. The base engine is a 2.4L four-cylinder affair that feeds 184 horsepower to the front wheels through a segment-exclusive nine-speed automatic transmission. Going upscale in the 200 brings with it Chrysler’s powerful 295 horsepower Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine paired with the nine-speed autobox and all-wheel-drive traction. Standard features include eight airbags, Keyless Enter ‘n Go, and Chrysler’s Uconnect 3.0 multimedia centre. Options include Blind Spot Monitoring, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go, Forward Collision Warning with Active Braking, and Active Park Assist. Acura TLX (base MSRP $34,900) The four-door Acura TLX Sedan replaces the former TSX and TL sport sedans, merging their respective strengths into a single product positioned as the brand’s mid-level contender. With a base sticker of $34,900, the TLX delivers plenty of sport-inspired luxury built around a 206 horsepower 2.4L four-cylinder power plant fused to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Propulsion is directed frontward unless the V6 Technology Package and Acura’s SuperHandling All-Wheel-Drive system with torque vectoring are opted for. In which case, all four wheels share in 290 horsepower produced by the 3.5L SOHC i-VTEC mill. A sophisticated nine-speed automatic transmission further contributes to the engaging performance of the V6powered TLX. In addition to a more rigid body structure, the TLX provides increased safety and collision avoidance with the use of technology such as Jewel Eye LED headlights, Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning, and Blind Spot Information with Cross Traffic Warning. Comfort and convenience essentials include the availability of premium 10-speaker audio along with voice-activated navigation. Audi A3 (base MSRP $31,100)

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

Looking remarkably like the highly successful Audi A4 Sedan despite casting a shadow 245mm shorter, the new A3 Sedan is sure to capture the attention of entry-level Audi buyers that scorn the A3’s hatchback design despite the

vehicle’s praiseworthy driving dynamics and general practicality. Pricing for the new A3 Sedan starts at $31,100 with the 170 horsepower 1.8L TFSI I-4 power plant turning the front wheels through the auspices of Audi’s six-speed S

tronic automatic gearbox. Upping the ante to $35,900 secures a 220 horsepower 2.0L TFSI I-4 connected to all four corners via Audi’s quattro allwheel-drive technology. Diesel power is also available in the A3 Sedan, though paired only

with front-wheel-drive. Option combinations include Audi’s Styling Package, Navigation Package, and their sportoriented S line Package. Audi has always been a technology leader, and the A3 Sedan shares in that reputation with

a vast array of onboard safety and protection systems. Mercedes-Benz C 300 Sedan - C400 Sedan (base MSRP C 300 $43,000 C400 $51,400) Despite slotting beneath the venerable E-Class in the

Mercedes-Benz hierarchy of sedans, the new C-Class Sedan takes on a notably formal appearance and a more upscale demeanor for 2015. It’s also lighter and more continued on page 31

Guess who’s coming to Cooper’s?

Stylish rides for 2015 powerful thanks to the extensive use of aluminum and a pair of revised engines. The C 300 receives a turbocharged 2.0L I-4 power plant capable of 241 horsepower. Need more oomph? A 3.0L twinturbo V6 places 329 horsepower under the hood of the C 400. Both engines feed all four wheels through Mercedes-Benz’s 4MATIC all-wheel-drive technology. The sole use of 4MATIC is a Canadianmarket exclusive. Along with new sheet metal and a lavishly-appointed cabin, the C-Class is equipped with the latest generation of COMMAND by MercedesBenz. This highly sophisticated infotain-

ment/navigation system is lifted directly from the S-Class flagship. Audiophiles will appreciate the availability of Burmester surround-sound audio components, which are hand-made in Germany. BMW 228i – M235i (base MSRP 228i $36,000 - M235i $48,750) Reminiscent of the legendary 1968 BMW 2002 Coupe, today’s 228i and M235i Coupes combine the outstanding driving dynamics of the stubby BMW 1-Series Coupe, which they replace, with a sleeker, more aggressive interpretation of the iconic brand’s ethos. The 228i is the tamer of the pair, but with 241 horsepower and 258 lb.-ft. of torque, its 2.0L twin-turbo-

charged I-4 engine delivers highly spirited performance nonetheless. If outright exhilaration is the target, the M235i is the ticket. Its twin-turbocharged 3.0L I-6 mill produces 322 horsepower and 332 lb.-ft. of endless torque. For true driver-oriented motoring, both vehicles can be fitted with a 6-speed manual gearbox in place of the new 8-speed automatic transmission. BMW’s xDrive all-wheel-drive traction is also available, but can only be paired with the automatic transmission. With the availability of a manual gearbox backed by a choice of turbocharged power plants, the new BMW 2-Series may just be the “ultimate driving machine.”

Slump-busting snipe saves game Cl Close to catastrophe h ,

Eric J. Welsh,

Langley tries to intimidate with a hard-hitting style that doesn’t always stop when the whistle blows, writes Jacob Bestebroer

The Progress It hasn’t been pretty. They haven’t done anything in dominant fashion, but the Chilliwack Chiefs have quietly carved out a five game winning streak. Craig Puffer secured the latest victory, scoring the overtime winner Wednesday night as his crew edged the Langley Rivermen 4-3 at Prospera Centre. Puffer scored with 2:12 remaining in three-onthree OT, crashing the net to whack in the rebound of a Rory Bell shot. The Connecticut kid and future Vermont Catamount looked skyward as he celebrated, feeling the monkey fall off his back. Puffer had been mired in a seven-game slump dating back to Nov. 15. “It’s been frustrating, but that’s when you’ve got to rely on others around you,” the 19 year old said. “We have great depth right now, with 12 forwards who can all score. There’s no really top guys. Everyone just blends together really well.” It says something about Puffer that he can go seven games without scoring and still have 19 snipes in 27 games. That’s eight more than the next highest Chiefs, Jordan Kawaguchi and Jake Hand. Final score aside, Wednesday’s game was far from a Picasso, with the Chiefs coughing up a twogoal lead en-route to overtime. At times, their team speed wreaked havoc on the slower Rivermen. At times, Langley’s physical play down low had Chilliwack reeling. “We knew they were a physical team and we came in expecting a hard fought game,” Puffer said. “We knew their D were big and slow, so we used our speed to our advantage and took it wide.” The Chiefs took the just 1:45 into the first

But it was Langley get- who popped it past Pelino ting the next goal, cutting for his second of the game. Chilliwack’s lead in half Vela scored at 11:27 and

the game was tied 3-3. The third period and five minutes of four on four OT solved nothing, leading to Puffer’s winner. Bell pounced on a neutral zone turnover, flew into the Langley zone and cut hard to the net. His shot was stopped, but Puffer waded into the blue paint to whack the puck past Didur. Not the highlight-reel stuff he’s used to, but Puffer wasn’t complaining. “The coaches have been telling me to go to the net and not worry about the pretty snipes,” he said. “That was definitely a greasy one.” Puffer and company head to Prince George this weekend for two games against their closest rival in the Mainland division. PG is three points back in the race for first. “It’s a 10 hour road trip and we know they’re going to come out hot,” Puffer said. “It’s a small rink and they know how to use it. I don’t think we need to change much. Shots from anywhere and going to the net. We’ve got to stick with what’s been working.”

Since completing an 0-30-0 Vancouver Island swing with w ith a 10-2 thrashing at the hands of the Nanaimo Clippers Nov. 16, the Chilliwack Chiefs have won five straight and six of their last seven games. While that loss in Nanaimo remains the low point of the season, last Saturday’s game vversus ersus the Surrey Eagles came way too close to knocking that game into second place. Surrey came in having lost 14 straight games. Despite their struggles they work w ork hard and earning a win against them is usually not jjust ust a case of showing up and going through the motions. The T he first 55 minutes of Saturday’s game proved that theory. The Eagles took advantage of some Chiefs mistakes and took a 3-1 lead early in the second period. They T hey held that lead till late in the third period when the Chiefs scored four goals to earn the win. Crisis averted but another effort like that was going to mean a different result when Langley came to town on Wednesday. W ednesday. Langley is a big team. They T hey try to intimidate teams with w ith a hard hitting style that doesn’t always stop when the whistle goes. The Chiefs countered that with speed and were very effective against the Rivermen who were w ere getting themselves out of position trying to land big hits. The first period was all Chiefs who were unlucky to only lead by a score of 2-1 after one. The Rivermen continued to play physical but were much more controlled in the second period, during which they were the better team. Tied T ied at three after two, the

third period was very even until a pair of late penalties by the Rivermen gave the Chiefs an excellent chance to win the game in regulation time. The Chiefs had a few w chances but didn’t put the game away until a double overtime goal by Craig Puffer. Langley has made two trips to Prospera Centre this season. In those two games the Chiefs have had 16 powerr plays to just seven for the Rivermen. In 28 games this season Langley has been shorthanded 160 times. They’ve had 117 power plays making their special teams plus minus a league worstt -43. Second worst is Prince George at -18, while the Penticton Vees are first att +44. Fortunately for Langley, they have the league’s bestt penalty killing. Next up for the Chiefs is their second and final trip off the regular season to Prince George for games Fridayy and Saturday night. The two teams continue to battle forr first place in the Mainland division with the Chiefs currently holding a three pointt lead over the second place Kings with two games in hand. While the Chiefs are out off town, the Chiefs Fanboni will take to the streets Saturdayy night in Chilliwack’s Christmas Parade. Chieff Wannawin will also be walking the parade route. There is just one home game left prior to Christmas. The Coquitlam Express are in town on Dec. 12 for the Chiefs annual Teddy Bearr and Toque toss game.

The birth of a Little League chapter in Agassiz has Chilliwack Minor Baseball concerned. Trevor McGuire and Chris McCurdy are spearheading the effort, hoping to run with a catchment area that includes Chilliwack, Hope and Agassiz/ Harrison. “Becoming a Little League Canada and International affiliate opens the door for us to participate in the USA and for USA teams to come to Agassiz to play baseball,” McGuire said in an Agassiz Observer article that first appeared in late October. “The goal of our organization is promote elite baseball training in a year round environment.” Chilliwack Minor Baseball responded Dec. 1 with a letter sent out to parents. In it, CMBA points out some of the key differences between Little League and BC Minor Baseball. “BC Minor Baseball, under the auspice of CMBA in Chilliwack,

school,” it read. “There are opportunities along the way to play for fun in our house divisions and for those who are a little more competitive, our rep teams are among some of the best in the province.” “BC Minor offers access to many tournaments throughout the season and potential trips to provincials and depending on the division even Western and Canadian National Championships,” it continued. The letter continues by pointing out some of the drawbacks of the Little League model — including smaller fields, no base-stealing and no lead-offs. “We don’t see this

as properly preparing for the real game of baseball,” the letter said. “Also, once a little league player reaches the age of 13 years old there are very few opportunities, and history would show you that these players end up playing under BC Minor Baseball.” Asked to elaborate Monday morning, CMBA president Brent Bogart began by saying the letter wasn’t meant to cause controversy. But, he is concerned Little League will siphon away players. “CMBA’s position has always been, the more kids the better, and we’ve always welcomed kids from Agassiz to play in our association,” Bogart said. “Unfortunately, the Little League group appears to be attempting to pull players away from Chilliwack to do so.” Bogart concluded by extending an olive branch, an offer to help launch an organization that will work for Agassiz without hurting Chilliwack. “If they change gears and attempt to create an Agassiz association under BC Minor Baseball, that is great for Agassiz and all the additional kids who will get to play,” he said. “It is very important that the group spearheading these efforts, as well as the community of Agassiz, be aware that we have always been willing to work with them in an effort to better the all-round baseball experience in the upper Fraser Valley.”

Curlers qualify The full line-up for the 2015 Tim Hortons BC Junior Curling Championships has been decided and a Chilliwack team is in the mix. Qualifying from the Coastal A and B Event is Team Zucchet, representing the Chilliwack Curling Club. The foursome consists of skip Kirsten Zucchet, third Cailin Cooke, second Everly Royea and lead Jasmi Jani. The junior women’s draw contains several familiar faces including members of all three medal winning teams from last year. Team Daniels is made up of three gold

medallists from the 2014 Tim Hortons BC Junior Curling Championships. Sarah Daniels (skip), Marika Van Osch (third) and Megan Daniels (lead) hope to repeat last year’s success alongside new teammate Dezaray Hawes (second). The 2013 Canadian junior champs from the Kamloops Curling Club return, skipped by Corryn Brown. This same rink won the national title two years ago and took silver at last year’s BC Junior Championships. This year’s event which takes place at the Parksville Curling Club Dec. 28 to Jan. 3.
