‘Mystery nurse’ thrilled by good news
■ T HE H EAT ’ S O N
Jessica Peters The Progress Retired nurse Paula Kereluk was “thrilled” to hear that the man she had performed CPR on has pulled through and is recovering in hospital. “That was really nice to hear,” she said. She was having dinner with some family members at a Sardis restaurant, when there was a commotion nearby. “We had just started eating our dinner,” Kereluk said, when something seemed out of the ordinary at another table. She decided to go investigate, and immediately offered to help, o informing them i It ssuree she is a nurse. makes you Kereluk guided another bystander feel good as a helper, and they began to ~ Paula work on the man until more help Kereluk arrived. She had been wondering whether the man, Mel McKeen, had survived the ordeal, when a story about the incident was published in Wednesday’s Progress. McKeen’s family friend, Tricia Mercer, wanted to extend thanks to the women who saved McKeen. “I am just so thrilled to hear that he’s okay,” Kereluk said. Even with her connections to local health care, confidentiality had kept her from finding out who the man was, and whether he survived. “It sure makes you feel good,” Kereluk said. “You just feel like your whole career has been worthwhile.” Performing emergency CPR and first aid away from a hospital setting is not just another day at work, she explained. “Sure you do CPR in the hospital, but it’s different there,” she said. “You have all the equipment there, the suction and the monitors. When you’re out there in the world, you’re on your own. It’s just you and the patient.” This is one of the reasons that health care professionals go through regular

Exploitation ends where understanding starts Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Stopping sexual exploitation of children and youth in Chilliwack is not easy, but there are ways. Unfortunately the problem, which is hard to see, is already here, says a multi-agency team united around prevention in Chilliwack. It could be a youth coerced into trading sexual favours for a place to sleep, nice clothes, or drugs and alcohol. Or perhaps a youth “sexting” nude photos to older men. “While sexual exploitation in our community may be invisible to most, we do know it is happening,” said Karen Steegstra,

Child and Youth Community Coordinator. It’s the teen who pimps out her peers, or the one who meets a 40-year-old in a local park who had pretended to be in high school, but turns out to be a cyber stalker. Stop the Sexual Exploitation of Children and Youth Awareness Week is being recognized in Chilliwack and across B.C. this week — with fuchsia ribbons and events from March 9-15. They held workshops in Chilliwack last year and they also held a public rally downtown. But the concept is still a bit of a tough sell. “One of the most compelling issues is that youth themselves
do not recognize they are being exploited and that it is illegal,” said Brenda Listoen, chair of the Awareness Week committee, and a Youth Reconnect worker for Chilliwack Community Services. She is someone who works with at-risk teens, and says the need is great for more education. “We need to increase awareness about exploitation among our youth and in our community in general, helping them see exploitation for what it is, who is at risk and what we can as a community do about it,” said Listoen. For 2015, they are touring a multi-media presentation to middle and secondary school assemblies, with a public event on April 16 at the Cottonwood 4 Theatre
to screen a film called Trust, followed by a panel discussion with Children of the Street Society reps. The team relies on “anecdotal” evidence of inappropriate or exploitative relationships, from school counsellors, outreach workers and others who work with homeless or at-risk teens. “By being alert to the signs of exploitation and attentive to the potential dangers we can better ensure that our young people enjoy healthy formative years,” added Steegstra. The definition of youth sexual exploitation from the provincial government is: “Any type of sexual activity with children and Continued: YOUTH/ p5

Aevitas instructed to conduct more consultation Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Aevitas president Byron Day said they’ll be striving to raise public confidence in the hazardous waste recycling plant they hope to build this year in Chilliwack. The provincial government has requested more information from the company to determine if the project will “require an Environmental Assessment,” under the EA Act The Progress has learned. “Due to stakeholder interest, ministry staff have also put in place a requirement for Aevitas to conduct additional consultation,” confirmed a media relations rep
for Ministry of Environment, in an email. “A comprehensive technical review of the file will not commence until after the above information is provided by the company.” The stakeholder “interest” referred to by Environment officials, may include the recent letter fired off by local Sto:lo leaders demanding consultation with local First Nations before the Aevitas project is approved by the province. A coalition of environmental groups, river stewards and sport fishing advocates also formed to fight the location of the proposed
Cannor Road site in the Cattermole industrial park, which is 200 metres from the Fraser River. Contacted by phone Wednesday at his office in Brantford, Ontario, Day said Aevitas is already working hard on the latest requests for more information and consultation with First Nations. “There are letters going out today. We’re putting information packages together as we speak and reaching out to First Nations in the area.” The problem with the site selection is there are very few industrial properties to choose from that fit their criteria. “The part that people don’t
understand is we can’t just pick up and move this project to another location,” Day said. “There are no other heavy industrial sites, that are not right on the river.” The newly updated Aevitas web presence, as described in The Progress earlier this week, is in response to the official requests for extra information, featuring a new Q&A video interview of Day outlining the 10 layers of containment planned for the site, and reasons why the Cannor Road location is actually ideal. “We want to get the confidence level up, and we’re going to do it with accurate information,” he said. There is still a disconnect,
Tapping the adolescent resource Jessica Peters The Progress A new Human Services Career Program will cater to students whose strengths aren’t always easy to measure. The students involved will be those who show traits like leadership, good listening skills, helpfulness and compassion. The new three-year program rolls out in the fall at Chilliwack secondary school, under the guidance of teachers Joe Ogmundson and Steve Anderson. They’ve been building partnerships with some key players in the community in order to build the program, which will reach beyond the walls of CSS. Students will enter into the program in Grade 10, where they will not only delve into the studies of the human condition (psychology, leadership, mentoring, family management, social justice, law) but also will gain hands-on experience through partnerships in the community. In Grade 11, the work experience portion of the program will have the students learning outside the classroom. And in their graduation year, students will develop even further and begin to mentor the incoming Grade 10s. “This program has the potential to be life changing,” said Anderson. “We’ve been toying with the idea for years.” Focused planning of the program has taken two to three years, due to the intricate weaving of classwork and community work. They’ve pulled numerous partners on board and are now in the process of speaking to Grade 9 students about what they’re offering. Only 30 students will be accepted into the program each fall, to keep the classrooms a manageable size.

over some of the technical details of the project that he can’t seem to get across to critics who’ve said the proximity to the river makes the project unacceptable. “This the most modern, smallscale facility and we’ve redesigned the entire project so the building is now two levels, and all the hazardous waste will be on the second floor. “That means if a major flood were to hit Chilliwack, the plant would almost be the only thing left standing.” The location is the main sticking point for those opposed, but the structure will now be built to a Continued: AEVITAS/ p11
Minimum wage to be tied to inflation Tom Fletcher Black Press
Steve Anderson (left) and Joe Ogmundson, along with other Chilliwack secondary staff, are launching a new three-year Human Resource Services Program, where students will learn about psychology, studying human relationships, peer counselling, social justice, and more. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Ogmundson said the idea is to involve students in the community, with the understanding that one day they will be the community’s leaders. The ideal students may have hopes to be social workers, teachers, coaches, community or business leaders. But, he added, they could just as easily go into medicine, journalism or policing. The skills gained from studying relationships are universal, and applicable in every career or life situation. “This is a program that

sees adolescents involved as a resource, rather than the problem,” Ogmundson said. He is hoping for a wide range of students to get involved, all with their own unique interests. What bonds the group would be that they all are “natural helpers,” he said — the kind of kid whom everyone goes to. “There are people who are just empathetically gifted,” Ogmundson said. “They just have this incredible gift. We thought, what if we can identify these kids early on, to give them
a heads up. What if you could do something to utilize who you are at the core?” Major pieces of the program include peer counselling, and something called “service learning,” where students go out in the community on work experience. They will work with inner city school kids, university students and social workers. Anyone with questions about the program can contact Ogmundson or Anderson at CSS, at 604-795-7295.
B.C.’s minimum wage is going up by 20 cents in September, and will see annual increases to match the B.C. consumer price index each September after that. It’s the first increase since 2012, when the current wage of $10.25 was set. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond said this year’s increase reflects what would have taken place if indexing to inflation had been in place at that time. The lower minimum wage for restaurant and pub servers is being retained, going from $9 to $9.20 in September. The discount from the general minimum wage will remain at $1.25 per hour to account for tips earned by servers, Bond said. Piece rates for seasonal piece workers are to receive proportional increases, as are day rates paid to live-in camp counsellors and residential caretakers at apartment buildings. B.C. is the last province in Canada to move to an automatic formula for setting the minimum wage. The annual increase will be announced each March based on the previous year’s consumer price index, and will take effect each September to give small businesses time to prepare. In the case of negative inflation, which the province experienced briefly in recent years, the minimum wage would not be decreased. Bond said she expects continued debate on the wage rate, led by the B.C. Federation of Labour, which is calling for an immediate increase to $15 an hour. Naomi Yamamoto, B.C.’s minister of state for small business, said consultation with business was clear that employers want predictable increases, not large jumps. The September increase amounts to about two per cent, keeping B.C.’s minimum wage higher than Alberta and Saskatchewan’s $10.20 an hour. Using a similar formula, Ontario’s minimum wage rose to $11 an hour last year.

She was quick to praise the impact of both the new youth emergency shelter at Cyrus Centre on Wellington Avenue, and the Village facility on School Street, but they still need more to fill the need that exists. “We could easily use twice the number of units available,” she said. This year for Awareness Week in Chilliwack, it’s the return of TCO² in April (Taking Care of Ourselves, Taking Care of Others). It’s a multimedia presentation from Children of the Street Society, with funding from MCFD, that will be making the rounds in local schools during the first week of April.

drugs, food, shelter and any other considerations.” “Creating an awareness week is about educating and protecting our youth and connecting them to supports and services if needed,” said Steegstra. The perps will use any trick in the book: power, coercion, intimidation, seduction, and grooming to get their victims to do their bidding, and to keep silent. Education will also help parents, caregivers and the whole community to recognize the problem when they see it and to possibly intervene. There are serious barriers to leaving the sex trade — or even avoiding it all together — if you’re vulnerable, poor and in trouble at home. The youth may find themselves feeling obligated and emotionally attached. “One of the barriers is a lack of lowincome, low-barrier housing,” Listoen said.

The Progress Two nonagenarians were recognized on Monday for their decades of volunteering with the Chilliwack Hospital Auxiliary. Mary Firkus, 97, and Gwen Goodey, 94, were presented with pins, certificates of appreciation, flowers, and gifts during the group’s AGM this week. Together, their volunteering totals 95 years. Goodey has been at it for 50 years and Firkus for 45 years. “I’m over whelmed. I just don’t know what to say,” said Goodey, who was president of CHA in 1973-74 and 1982. “I think that’s why we’re both alive at our age, because we volunteer. We don’t grow old because we’re too busy.” Years ago, the reason Goodey got her driver’s licence was so she could volunteer. “So much of my life has gone into volunteering. I learned to drive to get myself to the hospital,” said Goodey. Firkus was president in 198586. “I volunteer to make people happy,” she said. “You know

An unnecessary law
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation is hogging the left-hand lane, speeding toward another misplaced priority. Minister Todd Stone’s announcement this month that the province is looking at legislation targeting left-lane hogs on the highway is populist pandering, it’s unnecessary and it’s undesirable. Stone suggests left-lane huggers are particular to British Columbia, coincidentally the province in which he happens to commute to work. Apparently, everyone who drives slower than our transportation minister is a slowpoke and everyone who drives faster than him is a maniac. This isn’t a law for which British Columbians have been clamouring – it seems to have appeared in our rear-view mirror from out of nowhere. One imagines the minister turned red with road rage recently, stuck behind some driver who failed to accelerate to B.C.’s new 120-kilometres-per-hour highway speed limit. Stone says ICBC statistics and RCMP traffic reports show that failure to keep right causes a lot of collisions, but we suspect that the impatient drivers who surround the cautious ones are every bit as culpable. Must our roads suit only the fast and the furious? Already the B.C. Liberal government has raised speed limits, conditioning motorists to race at Mach 1. Any crackdown on left-lane hogs is going to empower tailgaters and road ragers and cause car crashes. The province has been erecting signs along the highways gently reminding motorists to keep right; that should suffice. Personally, we’re OK with the drivers who plod along in sub-compacts that limit pollution, and if they can’t quite rev up to 120 km/h, well, we’re pretty sure most of them will move over to the right lane just as soon as it’s safe to do so. Yes, the left lane is there to get us where we’re going, faster. Or we could just leave the house a couple of minutes earlier. ~ Black Press

The risk firefighters face working on our behalf Across Canada, firefighters risk their lives to keep our homes and our communities safe. But on Wednesday of last week, a catastrophic house fire on Iverson Road in the Lindell Beach area struck close to home and, tragically, firefighter Brian Smyth with the Columbia Valley Volunteer Fire Department suffered a cardiac arrest while trying to fight the blaze. Last weekend, he passed away. Smyth, just 57 years old, sought medical attention and was treated on the scene. He was transported to Royal Columbian Hospital shortly afterwards and was on life support for two days before passing away peacefully in the presence of family and friends. Yet, still, he reached out to others in death, donating his organs to save lives. Those who fight fires are precious heroes and British
Columbia is blessed to have over 3,900 firefighters. Having experienced the horror of a house fire firsthand, I know how competent and efficient these skilled people are. They rush toward danger when others are scrambling to try to find a way out. They are there at the critical moment when rescue, help, Margaret and support are needed the most EVANS and they have the words of comfort and focus to help those in panic and distress. Fighting fires is stressful, dangerous work and the heat, the urgency and the speed at which they must work play heavily on their own physical and mental health. Last year the provincial
government recognized the degree to which men and women put their health at risk. Last May, Bill 17 amended the Workers Compensation Act to recognize that if a firefighter suffers from heart disease or heart injury and was employed as a firefighter at or immediately before the date of disablement, it is to be assumed the heart condition is due to their work as a firefighter unless proven otherwise. “Our government appreciates the important work that firefighters do for the people of our province,” said Shirley Bond at the time, Minister of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training and Minister Responsible for Labour. “Firefighters expose themselves to significant hazards and we want to provide further protection for these men and women who help to keep our communities safe by recognizing heart

Progress
disease and heart injury as presumptive diseases.” Michael Hurley, President of the BC Professional Firefighters Association, expressed appreciation when Bill 17 received Royal Assent. “Firefighters are exposed to a real toxic combination through their work on a daily basis. This, along with the heat and mental stressors faced by the profession, means that heart injuries due to the nature of the job are a reality for firefighters. We have always known that, when we go to work, our health is at risk.” Earlier this week the British Columbia Fallen Fire Fighter Memorial was held in Victoria at which 12 names of firefighters who had paid the ultimate sacrifice were recognized, including Smyth. Bells tolled for each lost hero. Hundreds converged on the capital to remember them. “Our thoughts and prayers
go out to Mr. Smyth’s family, the Columbia Valley Volunteer Fire Department, and the community,” said FVRD Board Chair Sharon Gaetz. “We are deeply saddened.” “I know that Brian was well loved by his fellow firefighters and a respected, longtime resident of the community,” said Taryn Dixon, Electoral Area H Director. “His presence will be greatly missed.” A full Line of Duty funeral is planned. The funeral will be held at the Chilliwack Alliance Church, 8700 Young Road, on Friday March 20. The formal procession will begin at 11 a.m. and information on the procession route will be posted on the Fraser Valley Regional District’s website www.fvrd.bc.ca once it is finalized. Farewell Brian. And thank you.

Curling reaches a broad sector Comparing curling akin to a “rock gym” for climbers! (Chilliwack budget ready for public input, Progress March 17). Are you serious? Obviously you have not checked your facts Councillor (Sam) Waddington. Have you any idea of how many curlers we have in Chilliwack and also the ages of these curlers? Sir, you are entitled to your opinion as to whether or not a new rink is built, but I certainly hope that this lack of prior investigation is not an indication of how you make your decision on any issues in future. Curling covers a broad spectrum of ages from juniors to seniors. I’m a senior and I have curled on a team that was a family team consisting of my children
and grandchildren. There are not many sports that offer that same privilege. The benefits to seniors alone are immeasurable. We have had seniors as old as 90 still playing and keeping socially active which everyone knows is extremely important in keeping the health costs down. Have you noticed all the school buses pulling up to the rink or been to any of the other functions that are held there? Councillor Waddington I retired from the City of Chilliwack after 32 years of service and over my career I witnessed many new members of council who had made sometimes rather outlandish promises to the voters only to realize once elected that the
Municipal Act controlled much of what they could and couldn’t do. I voted for you, sir because you said you attended council meetings for a year and I thought this commendable. You wouldn’t be a total neophyte and would therefore be an effective member of council very quickly. Often a new member is a great benefit and I’ve also seen some that perhaps weren’t. It is my sincere hope that before you make any future decisions and risk putting your foot in your mouth again, please investigate all the facts. As citizens we deserve to know that those persons who are in a position to control certain aspects of our life and lifestyle will have made a thorough investigation prior to the vote. Bernie Orr
Local groups encouraged to apply Re: Grant not serving community (Readers Write, Chilliwack Progress, Feb. 27). It is unfortunate that a widely supported program promising to help nearly 200 at risk youth in our community is being unfairly maligned before it even gets off the ground simply because of the mailing address of the organization that will oversee the program. Our Conservative government has always supported crime prevention
projects and invests only in those programs that have demonstrated effectiveness. The Learning to Lead program announced in Chilliwack is based on the Leadership and Resiliency Program model. According to the latest statistics available from Public Safety Canada, this model has been found to help at risk youth: • Reduce school suspensions by 75% • Reduce juvenile arrests
by 47% • Increase school attendance between 60% and 70%; and • Dramatically increase high school graduation rates. Since the creation of the Crime Prevention Action Fund in 2008, $178.1 million in funding has been approved for 214 projects in communities across Canada. Through the National Crime Prevention Centre, any agency – including those based in and serving the
Chilliwack area – are always welcome to apply for available funding. If those organizations would like assistance with their applications, my office stands ready to assist. I will continue to focus on delivering real results for the people of Chilliwack and am glad to support time tested, results based programs like this one, which will benefit our at risk youth.

There is more to society than ‘saving money’ This is in reference to the article on ending seniors’ discounts, The Progress, March 6. Harry Kitchen is obviously right on. He will certainly get high marks for his financial expertise. He will save loads of money for the government and anyone else that offers seniors’ discounts. Obviously, there are seniors who take advantage of the various discounts available and that shouldn’t be allowed, no matter how many seniors who depend on the discounts lose their ability to travel to doctor’s appointments, shopping, to visit relatives or friends. After all, they don’t matter much; not nearly as important as “saving money.” While we’re at it, why don’t we
discontinue employment insurance? We know there are some people who take advantage of this system. Stop it and they won’t be able to cheat anymore. Of course, we will have all the legitimate unemployed who will be cut off without a cent to deal with but we’ll be “saving money.” Another savings would be to stop social assistance. There are cheaters in that system, too. If we cancelled it they wouldn’t be able to cheat us anymore. We’d be “saving money” again. I don’t know what we could do about the thousands and thousands of people who legitimately collect this money as they would now be homeless and hungry on the streets. Isn’t it time we examined state-
ments made by Mr. Kitchen and others with the same ideas? Is “saving money” more important than the welfare of the citizens of British Columbia? Does he not realize that there will always be people who will take advantage of the system. It does not makes sense, however, to cut off the legitimate recipients who depend on these services for their existence, because of the small percentages that cheat. Come on, Mr. Kitchen, “saving money” is not more important than people, surely. Let’s give this a little think, OK? Let’s examine our priorities. Surely money is not the most important.

Abbotsford Tradex. In cabinet making, Karaline Heibner took home gold, Jordan Balzer won silver and Jacob Dyck won bronze. In mechanical CAD, Fergus Dalton won gold, and in welding, Noah Visscher won silver. The regional competition was one of 13 taking place throughout B.C., providing a platform for students from Grade 6 to Grade 12 to showcase their talents in the skilled trades and technologies. Students in secondary schools compete in a diverse range of skills competitions, while those in the lower grades compete in series of Junior Skills Competitions, designed specifically for their skill level. The competitions serve two main purposes. First, to celebrate and reward students for excellence in skilled trade and technology
skills in a manner that directly involves industry in evaluating student performance and that keeps training relevant to employers’ needs. Second, to create an interactive and engaging environment for the thousands of young people who attend the competitions as spectators. To help with this year’s regional and provincial competitions, the Industry Training Authority has provided Skills BC with $200,000. “The skills competitions are an important part of Skills BC programming; showcasing the skills of the province’s future workforce in safe, engaging and hands-on environments,” says Amber Papou, Executive Director, Skills Canada BC.

Aevitas looks to build confidence in site selection AEVITAS from page 3 500-year catastrophic level, meaning all the hazardous materials will be above the flood line on the second floor. But the location should not be the dealbreaker. Critics need to take into consideration the desperate need for this facility in B.C. and the environmentally responsible work the company does. “We were asked by industry to come to B.C. to do this work,” he said. “There is a very strong need for it, and there is just so much protection being built in. “When it comes to these facilities, it doesn’t matter where you are located, you cannot have a spill.” The Ontario-based Aevitas Inc., plans to recycle metal, glass and mercury from CFC lights and bulbs and remove PCBs from low-level PCB laden transformer oil for re-use. It’s not clear yet the scope or timeframe of the consultation process they are starting, but it will include a public meeting of some sort, as well as meetings with local First Nations. No dates have been set yet. Aevitas reps started by reaching out to local Sto:lo leaders, as well as the The People of the River Referrals office, and are planning to have an “open discussion” on about their plans for the facility, and all the various levels of protection
and containment. The letter in February sent from Sto:lo Tribal Council officials demanded a meeting with the Environment minister, citing the Tsilhqot’in deci-
sion from the Supreme Court of Canada. Their position was the Aevitas project infringes on aboriginal rights and title, and should not go ahead without their con-

Be an Easter hero and donate blood
TEETH-IN-A-DAY™ TEETH-IN-A-DAY™ is a revolutionary concept providing patients with fully functioning teeth on dental implants in one single procedure. 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.
Between now and Easter Monday, Canadian Blood Services is in need of 5,700 spring break and Easter heroes to book appointments and donate blood. Communities need to rally together because it takes many units of blood to save a patient. One blood donation equals one unit of blood, and it can take 50 units to help someone in a car crash, five units to help someone in cancer treatment, eight units a week to help someone with leukemia, and five units to save someone who needs heart surgery. Consider donating blood with
someone you know. One out of every two people who donate for the first time bring a coworker, friend or family member. In Chilliwack, you can donate blood on March 16, 30 and April 27 at the Neighbourhood Learning Centre (46361 Yale Rd.), and on April 16 at Broadway Church (46611 Maple Ave.). All four clinics run from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. To book an appointment, call 1-888-2DONATE (236-6283), or go to blood.ca. You can also download the GiveBlood app.

Gun scare puts Sardis schools in ‘hold and secure position’ Jessica Peters The Progress Several Sardis area schools were put into a “hold and secure” position for about half an hour Wednesday morning, after a man was spotted near one of the schools with what appeared to be a firearm. Evelyn Novak, superintendent of schools, confirmed that most of the Sardis schools were affected by the RCMP action, spurred on when someone saw a man with
“There was a questionable person appearing to be walking around with a weapon and it turned out to be a paintball gun,” she added. “We work closely with the RCMP

and we want our parents to know our students are safe.” By noon, the schools were returned to business as usual. The man may have been attempt-
ing to sell the paintball gun. A hold and secure position is different from a lockdown. In the hold and secure position, the doors are locked. While
students are not permitted to leave, classes carry on as usual. In a lockdown, however, extra precautionary measures are taken for added safety.
Citizens help secure arrest A pair of robbers saw their plans foiled by two sharp-eyed citizens. The robberies happened Feb. 13 in Sardis. Shortly after 10 p.m. a masked man is alleged to have stormed into a business in the 5900 block of Tyson Road, waving a gun and demanding money. Police say he made off with cash and products, speeding away in a white car. Nine minutes later, while police threw up road blocks in the area, a second robbery occurred in the 7300 block of Vedder Road. This time, two vigilant citizens were in the parking lot as the suspect made his getaway. They jotted down the make and license plate of his car, and told police which direction it was headed. Within minutes, RCMP had the car pulled over. Chilliwack’s James Albert Phillips, 44 years old, and Melisa Anne Lunt, 31, were taken into custody. “The key to solving these robberies so quickly was the witnesses who had the foresight to record the details of the suspect vehicle and notify police,” said Staff Sgt. Dave Eidet. “This, combined with the immediate response by the Chilliwack RCMP, brought these two suspects into custody.” Phillips and Lunt face several charges. While Lunt has since been released, Phillips has been held in custody the entire time. Both face mid-March court dates.

Layne Erskine has been making and selling bracelets to raise money for Canuck Place, a place where his fraternal twin brother, Nate, has stayed numerous times. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Brother inspired by random act of kindness lesson Jessica Peters The Progress Nine-year-old Layne Erskine is the newest member of Team Canuck Place, thanks to his fundraising concept that earned $375 for the hospice. His early leap into philanthropy was initiated by a classroom lesson, at Yarrow elementary. Just before Christmas, Layne’s Grade 3 teacher brought out the book Ordinary Mary’s Extraordinary Deed. The story illustrates how one girl’s act of kindness causes a ripple effect that reaches all the way around the world, making the world a better place. “After reading the story, I sent my students out on a mission to perform various random acts
of kindness around the community,” said teacher Christine Blessin. “These were quite amazing in themselves but the whole project must have had an even bigger impact on Layne because he decided to go one step further.” Layne decided to make bracelets — tons of bracelets — and sell them in his mom’s homebased hair salon. The money, he thought, could go to the place were he and his brother spend so much of their time, Canuck Place. Layne’s fraternal twin brother, Nate, is confined to a wheelchair due to an extremely rare disorder, called hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 2. Both boys have spent immea-
surable hours at Canuck Place, one as the patient, the other as his companion. His extraordinary efforts added up to a donation of $375. Selling at $2 a piece (and often with an extra donation), they flew out of the salon quickly. Thankfully, Layne produces his stock quickly and efficiently. “At the beginning it took about 30 minutes but now it’s about 15 minutes,” the boys’ mom, Annette Erskine says. “It takes longer if I’m watching cartoons,” Layne adds. He has a loom, but is just learning to master using it. He prefers to use pencils, or just his fingers, to weave the rubber band bracelets together, mixing and matching colours to create different

arrived at the Canuck Place to drop off the donation, they were greeted enthusiastically by staff. Layne’s not sure how many more bracelets he will make, but he has no plans to stop yet. Nate’s condition keeps the family pretty close to home. A nurse comes in every day except Sunday, allowing Erskine to either take a nap or get some work done. The mother of five boys, Erskine said having Nate in their lives has taught them all to be caretakers. “They’re so good,” she said of her children. “All of them are so good. We weren’t like that, but you become that way.”

effects. By far the most popular colour combo are those that represent the Canucks, but Layne is happy to create custom bracelets. He watches for his mom’s customers, at her salon behind their Yarrow home. Despite being somewhat reserved, Layne summons up the courage to head into the salon with his sales pitch. The whole project has pulled the tight-knit family even closer. His nana bought some of the supplies, one of his older brothers created a poster for advertising, and close family friends have also made bracelets to donate to the cause. His efforts have been posted on the Canucks Place website and published in their most recent newsletter. When the boys

work. Some of the tips will work for you, some will not. Pick and choose your own adventure and get ready to stick to your workout plan! Tip 1. Visualize how you’re going to feel after your workout. Do you feel invigorated, accomplished and clear minded? Do you feel proud of yourself for deciding to workout even when you didn’t feel like it? Sometimes simply fastforwarding to the positive after-effects of a workout is enough to get you going. Tip 2. Remind yourself of your WHY. Why is your workout important to you? What is your reason to workout? Are you training for a race? Is it an outlet for stress release? Do you want to live an active lifestyle so you can be there for your grandkids? There’s a reason why you had planned to workout; you just need to remember it! Tip 3. Get dressed. You may be surprised how many people tell me that one of the barriers to exercise is having to change in and out of their workout clothes. Taking that first step can be a monumental leap toward starting your workout. Once you’re dressed, you’ll likely feel more inclined to go ahead with your workout. As
a bonus, pick out a fun, cute or new exercise outfit. Tip 4. Skip the ‘all or nothing’ mentality and start small. Often we skip our workout because we don’t want to, or don’t have time do complete the entire thing. We think, “what’s the point?” I know I’m guilty of this faulty thought process! A 10-minute walk is better than the 45-minute run you never did. If you don’t want to do your entire workout, then don’t. Just start, and if after five or 10 minutes you really honestly don’t feel any more inclined to workout, then stop. You can ‘check’ workout off for the day because you did it! Giving yourself permission to stop at least helps you start; and getting started can sometimes be the toughest part! Tip 4. Play your ‘power song’ play list. You know those songs that when you play them, you can’t help but tap your feet and start moving? Or when they play during your workout you can’t help but push a little harder? Those are your power songs! Maybe it’s ’60s rock, today’s greatest hits of ’90s rap; it doesn’t matter! Your power songs can transform your lethargy into get-up-and-go energy! Tip 5. Get inspired! Search online for workouts, or pictures of people doing workouts. Maybe you’ll find a new exercise to try, or simply feel more inclined to workout. Just be sure to give yourself a time limit and stay off of social media platforms and email. Otherwise you’ll end up spending your workout time surfing the net! Tip 6. Book an appointment – with someone else. Making a workout appointment; ideally with someone else can really encourage you to stick to a regular exercise routine. While some people enjoy working out solo, you will be more likely to exercise if you are accountable to someone else. Find someone – whether it is a workout buddy or fitness coach to keep you accountable.

The Nissan LEAF miraculously cut a journey in half this week. I’ll explain. I took the plug-in sedan on a 43-kilometre trip from Vancouver to Driveway HQ, on 152nd Street, in Surrey. When I set out, the screen display showed that I could drive emission-free for 146 kilometres. Now I could have taken off like an F1 supercar and street raced all the way, because electric power offers instant tire squealing torque if you press the pedal to the metal. But that’s not me. Spurred by my ecofriendly driving the previous day, the clever car had decided earlier in the day that I could do 156 kilometres on a full charge. Not boasting but that’s easily more than 20 kilometres better than the average driver can expect to achieve. Okay, maybe my head
is swelling. The big 1-4-6 winked at me. I threw the stick into ECO mode and with two flicks of the wrist pushed it into the enhanced B-mode, which puts the braking power regeneration into overdrive, so to speak. I glided silently down the road, picking up pace ever so gradually in the busy city traffic. Rolling down the hills to Marpole, I could feel the juice from the brakes topping up that battery. On the freeway, I hit the posted speed limit and 40 minutes later pulled into HQ. The display flashed 126. I had covered 43 klicks with the power required to move the car just 20! Such fun. Next week: More on the joy of driving electric. Email the address at keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Lexus: Boring and vanilla it is not By Zack Spencer
Toyota has suffered criticism in the past that must sting: some if its designs have been called boring or vanilla. Things are changing at Toyota, just look at the much more
dynamic designs placed on the small Corolla or mid-sized Camry, still practical but much better looking. The same criticism was levelled at the Toyota luxury brand, Lexus. Here too, the designers have taken a dra-
matic shift in the way the cars look and feel. The RC coupe is an all-new category for Lexus and one they call “Sexy”. There was a retractable hardtop Lexus IS convertible that tried to double as a coupe but nothing can replace the real
thing. This is a long, low, wide take on a coupe. Much betterlooking car that that old IS. Looks: One area that Lexus has focused on is the front grille and aggressive stance of many of its latest vehicles. This grille is what Lexus calls
a “spindle” grille, made to replicate a fabric spindle. Why, you ask? Well, the Toyoda family was in the fabric loom business before they started making military trucks and then cars. This is a fun tip-ofthe-hat to the origins of the
business. On some cars it looks a bit forced, on this RC it certainly looks well integrated and sleek. What are hard to see are two pin-lights imbedded in the grille that act as driving lights. The back has cheese-
grater looking faux vents behind the rear wheels that serve no function and look a bit busy. The FC is sold as a rear wheel drive (RWD) model or all wheel drive (AWD) plus it is sold with Lexus F Sport trim packages that enhance the wheels and add extra gofast looking trim pieces. The car seen here is the 350 AWD without F Sport. Inside: Lexus continues the overhaul inside the RC cabin. The dash really looks and feels cockpit-like, with a high centre console and sporty looking trim. There is a new touch pad between the front seats that lets the driver scroll around the centre screen just as one would on a laptop. To enter a setting, the driver pushed the track pad, all very intuitive. The F Sport models get a special centre speedometer cluster that has the single dial move to one side for quick reference information. The non- F Sport models get a small screen to use instead. The seats are nicely sculpted and trimmed in leather, plus the back seats are roomy enough for adults if the front seats are moved slightly forward, children will fit easily. What is impressive is the use of soft-touch materials and a level of finish and that should be experienced firsthand. Drive: Most Canadians will gravitate towards the RWD RC 350 not just because of the added traction but also because of the lower starting price. It’s odd that the RWD car starts at $57,650, where the AWD starts at $54,600. The RWD F Sport car is a more performance-oriented with an 8-speed automatic transmission and adaptive front and rear suspension and all-wheel steering system; the AWD gets a 6-speed auto and a passive shock system. Both use the same 3.5L V6 engine with 307hp. The AWD car seams to be set up as a touring car, not getting away from the Lexus roots planted firmly in the luxury camp. It would be a good idea to try the more dynamic F Sport model backto-back with the AWD to see if the softer model is to your tastes. Verdict: Lexus has built a strong following because of the high quality, bulletproof reliability the brand offers, with an ever-present luxury feel. The F Sport models offer a more aggressive design and improved on-road dynamics. With an eye on making the brand more exciting, the designers did a fine job inside and out. The AWD model doesn’t stray too far from the traditional Lexus formula or producing comfortable and luxurious transportation, this time in a much more stylish wrap. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

TOP SALESMAN OF THE MONTH FOR FEBRUARY
Albaisa designs for a stylish life returned to the U.S. as vice president, Nissan Design America. In 2012, Albaisa was named design director of Nissan global Design, Nissan brand passenger cars, including Zero Emission Vehicles. That’s his current role as we’re sitting in the rear of the spacious Q70L sedan at the Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto. Perhaps it’s an unconventional setting for an interview, but then again, he’s not a particularly conventional individual! – And it’s a quiet haven from the bustle of the exterior commotion. Though he’s a veteran in his role, he tells me, “It’s quite a difficult job. You’re con-
stantly an ambassador for the dreams of your people.” He adds, “Ideas are not demonstrable. You’re always worried that the call is going to come before the idea is ready to be shown. This is probably the only thing that really worries me. I have a lot of really talented people and I want to keep there.” Aside from the same emotions that we all feel concerning our respective roles at our workplace, he embraces the changes, the ups and downs and the notion to create brand unification through the sketches on a notepad. When it comes to describing his role, Albaisa remarks, “I still feel like I just started.”

It would have been no great surprise if car designer Alfonso Albaisa had become a designer of stationary objects – buildings! The Infiniti Executive Design Director fell in love with design as a young boy living in Miami, FL. As he recalls his childhood, he mentions that this wasn’t the beach part of Miami that might come to mind when we think of the city. Albaisa’s father was a building architect and so as a youngster the budding designer spent a lot of time at the office. Then one day, sitting on the steps of his father’s office, fate changed his life’s ambitions changed. It was then that he heard and saw it for the first time. “One day, I was seven or eight, I heard a rumbling and it pulled into the office,” Albaisa explains. “It was an E-Type Jag convertible. And that really changed it for me… It was just so beautiful. Because this was the early 70s. Miami wasn’t Justin Bieber going down the street in a Lamborghini. You never saw these these kinds of cars, so it was shocking for me, that a car could be so beautiful… And then I started drawing cars.” From then on, he knew that designing vehicles would be
in his future. Then again, that wasn’t without exploration into other mediums of design. Albaisa says, “Life takes its course and I really got into art also, so I studies art in the beginning.” He holds a degree from Pratt Institute in New York and he attended the Center for Creative Studies in Detroit. While still in school, Albaisa was hired by Nissan Motor Corp Inc. even before he graduated and hasn’t looked back. He has been with the company more than 25 years. “Every day is different in this company,” he explains. “My first two or three years in the group, I worked on the J30. And I did a yacht, I was designing TaylorMade golf clubs and I played beach volleyball competitively, so I had this crazy life.” He designed furniture on the side, as well. “As an artist, change causes change and changes your mind,” he states. His roles over the years have evolved, too. Albaisa joined the Nissan Design team in San Diego in 1988. From 1997, he held a number of senior Design positions within Nissan leading up to his appointment as Design Director, Nissan Design America, in 2004. In 2007, he was appointed vice president of Nissan Design Europe and in 2011

Grizzlies crush Cambie Crusaders
Spruce Kings in second round The Spruce Kings will come in with a defensive mind-set and try to frustrate the Chiefs, writes Jacob Bestebroer
Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Gabe Mannes had 38 points and Ryan Trottier added 28 Wednesday night as the GW Graham Grizzlies won their first game at the AA provincials. The Grizz stomped Richmond’s Cambie Crusaders at the Langley Events Centre, dominating a team that was, theoretically, supposed to be their equal. In the most recent provincial rankings the Crusaders were No. 7 and the Grizzlies No. 8. The final score, 99-65, suggests those rankings were horribly, horribly wrong. “We watched their film and we saw mismatches all over the floor,” said guard Gabe Mannes. “We were confident, but I didn’t think we were going to win by that much.” Mannes started the game by missing his first two shots. “I bricked them,” he chuckled. After that, everything No. 1 in white shot seemed to drop. Mannes heaved a couple from well beyond the three-point arc, draining them with ease. Off the floor. Off the scoreboard. Off the bankboard. No rim. Nothing but net. “If I hit a couple I just get that feeling and it snowballs,” he said. “I drink an energy drink before every game, so I’m not coming out slow.” Mannes and Trottier combined for 12 three pointers. When Mannes wasn’t bombing away from the outside, he was slashing to the hoop for layups. Trottier was lethal with

mid-range shots. Phil Weston added eight points and Mateo Urbano had seven, with 11 of 15 Grizzlies hitting the scoresheet. “Mateo has put so much work into it in the gym, and it’s paying off,” Mannes said of the backup guard who was second on the team with five rebounds and hit a key three pointer. The Grizzlies owned the battle of the boards, outrebounding Cambie 54-34. If there were any nerves for the first time provincialists, it didn’t show in the first quarter, where GWG staked themselves to a 29-18 lead. They led 51-36 at the half and 76-52 after three quarters. One more made shot

somewhere along the way and they would have hit triple digits, a rare feat in high school hoops. Only the efforts of Cambie’s Justin Dhillon kept things remotely close. No. 8 in black had 32 points while the next highest scoring Crusaders (Riley Paulik and Kevin Dhillon) had nine apiece. “He’s good, quick and knows how to finish,” Mannes noted. “He’s really hard to stop.” Early in the third quarter, the mighty St. Michaels University School Blue Jags poured out of their locker room, heading to their opener against Kitimat’s Mt. Elizabeth Eagles. As GWG pulled away from Cambie, Grizzly sup-
porters started chanting, ‘We want St. Mikes! We want St. Mikes! On the court, Mannes said his crew wasn’t thinking ahead to a second round matchup with the province’s No. 1 ranked team. “I was thinking about the Delview and Langley Christian game from the Fraser Valleys where Delview was up by 26 going into the fourth quarter and lost. We weren’t going to let up.” The Grizzlies and Blue Jags met Thursday night, after Progress press deadlines.

The Chilliwack Chiefs w ill face the Prince George will Spruce Kings in round two of the BCHL playoffs. The best of seven series begins in Chilliwack Friday and Saturday night (both 7 p.m. starts). After the Chiefs ended their first round series against the Coquitlam Express Monday night, I got asked multiple times which team I wanted to see the Chiefs play in round two. From a hockey standpoint I didn’t really care about Prince George versus Langley. You can make up a list of pros and cons for facing either of those two teams, but for the sake of fans who make the effort to attend Chiefs road games it would have been nice to see Langley. I say that after seeing more than 100 Chiefs supporters make the trip to Coquitlam last Saturday. T hose fans made a differThose ence at that game and also gave a clinic on how to cheer on your team at a hockey game. So what to expect from Prince George? I expect to see a more balanced attack than what we saw from Coquitlam. They don’t have the top end talent that Coquitlam had, but they do have six or seven guys on their top three lines that can chip in offensively. They are a defense first team that plays a lot of tight close games. They went exclusively w ith goaltender Jesse Jenks with in round one versus Langley. I expect to see a lot of him in this round as well. Something to keep an eye on is the health of the Spruce Kings defence. They were forced to use two affiliated players on
defense in game six Tuesdayy night. It’s playoffs so there won’tt be any details on who is in orr who is out till close to game time Friday night. I doubt we’ll see anything different in round two from the Chiefs. Their success in round one was a result of, in no particular order, solid goaltending, team depth and speed. Opposing teams cannot keyy in on one Chiefs player orr line. As I said earlier the Spruce Kings will come into this series with a defensive mind-set and will try to frustrate the Chiefs. Coquitlam tried this as well and there were shortt periods of time where the Chiefs could not get going offensively. But they stayed patient and stuck to theirr plan. They’ll need to do this against Prince George as well. Predicting is difficult. Things don’t always go as planned. I think the goaltending in this series is very evenlyy matched. Both teams have two veryy good goalies and while one team will surely get betterr goaltending than the other, it’s impossible to predict. I think the Chiefs group of defenceman has the edge on the Spruce Kings defense but it’s close. Injuries may swing the balance in this area but we won’t know for sure who is healthy enough to play till Friday. At forward is where the Chiefs should have the edge. They have three lines thatt can score regularly and I think this is what gives the Chiefs the advantage. Prediction: Chiefs in six. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Sarah Wierks of the University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team was named a second team All-Canadian at the CIS awards banquet on Wednesday evening in Quebec City. The Chilliwack native became the first UFV basketball player to be recognized as a CIS AllCanadian, and only the second Cascade across all sports to earn the distinction. Wierks, a six-foot-two fifth-year centre out of Chilliwack Secondary, led Canada West in scoring at 19.2 points per game. She set single-season conference records for total rebounds (307) and rebounding average (15.4), and tied the record for doubledoubles with 18 in 20 games. She established single-game marks for offensive rebounds (12), defensive rebounds (20) and total rebounds (31). To top it off, she ranked second in blocks (2.2 per game) and 11th in steals (2.0 per game) in Canada West this season.

OBITUARIES
BRUCE GRAINGER Of Chilliwack, B.C. It is with sad hearts that we announce the passing of our dad Bruce Grainger on February 22, 2015 at the age of 86. Born in Erickson, Manitoba on July 18, 1928, he was the youngest of 6 children of Thomas and Elizabeth Grainger. From a young age, he had a keen interest in cars and a desire to experience new life adventures. As a teen, Bruce and his brother Roy left Brandon, Manitoba for Victoria, BC to work as mechanics at their oldest brother Harold’s shop in Cordova Bay. It was there that he met Edith French and the two were married a few years later. The couple started their life together in Fort MacLeod, Alberta and then on one of their trips to visit family in Victoria, they came across a broken down vehicle alongside the highway. Bruce, always willing to help, stopped and ended up repairing the man’s vehicle on the spot. The man that Bruce helped happened to be the owner of the Ford dealership in Chilliwack and offered Bruce a job. It was in Chilliwack that Bruce and Edith made their home raising three boys and two girls. After Cherry Ford, Bruce continued on to his own businesses which included Downtown Auto Mart, Westgate Motors and Westgate Lincoln Mercury. In the mid -1980s Bruce moved on to other ventures in Kamloops, One Hundred Mile House, Seattle and finally Langley. After retirement, Bruce spent much of his time either at his Arizona home or with family on the Island and the Lower Mainland. Bruce was very proud of his family and took great pleasure in attending his kids’ events. He had a great passion for hockey and in his teens he played for the Brandon Junior team. Bruce enjoyed many hours spent volunteering in the construction of the Old Chilliwack Coliseum. This led to many more years in support of the Chilliwack Minor Hockey association and the Cheam Figure Skating Club. He volunteered as a coach and as a member of the Minor Hockey Executive with the rest of his time he could be found either watching his children figure skate or constructing props for the skating carnivals. In later years Bruce enjoyed watching his grandchildren playing in minor hockey and at College levels. Bruce also was a big supporter of the Chwk Swim club and Minor Baseball. In addition he was an avid curler and enjoyed many years in the mens leagues at the Chilliwack Curling Club. For Bruce there was something particularly special about the comradery and the close-knit culture found in Chilliwack sports. Summers for Bruce and family were filled with travel including camping trips to Cultus Lake, the Okanagan and other parts of BC, Washington and Alberta; weekend swim-club events throughout the Fraser Valley; and many epic longhaul car trips that to this day provide many great memories and good laughs of Grainger-style misadventures. In later years, Bruce’s love of music and dancing became more of a focus. Wherever he went, his friendly spirit and quick smile endeared him to many. Bruce is survived by his five children David (Janet), Richard (Anne), Diane (Mike Wyllie), Edward (Jo-Ann) and Maureen; and by his twelve grandchildren Jody (Bryan), Kimberly (Jon), Samantha (Mark), Tom, Erica (Kyle), Curtis (Laura), Chris (Becky), Jessica, Emily, Kye, Lisa (David) and Tammy; and his nine Greatgrandchildren Parker, Avery, Addison, Ryker, Sloane, Eli, Owen, Ava and David. Celebration of Life Service to be held April 11, 2015 from 2-4pm at the Chilliwack Curling Club.

It is with much sadness that we announce the death of Linda - mother, Grandmother and great grandmother. Linda is predeceased by husband Raymond and daughter Dawne, daughter - in - law Ronnie, sisters Eileen Flodstrom and Fern McDonaldGolos, brothers Bill, Ernie, Rolly and Kenny. She is survived by her children James, Jeanne and Richard (Ruth), seven grandchildren and seven great grandchildren, as well as sister Marg (Jim) Collen, brothers Tom (Myrtle), Johnny (Betty), Jerry (Vinita) and Bob (Sheila). Born in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan and one of twelve children born to William & Iva McLaren. The family moved to the Vernon area during the great depression before settling in Hedley in the early forties. Here she met Ray and they married in 1945. Linda balanced career and family and was devoted to her husband and children. She was the pillar of the family. Her grandchildren were the light of her life. After her retirement she travelled often, particularly to Australia and the UK to visit her grandchildren. She was a gracious, caring person who enjoyed socializing with her many friends and relatives. She met her diagnosis of Alzheimer’s with calm and strength, and lived out her final years at Crescent Gardens Care Home. We wish to thank the care staff for their kindness and support. At Linda’s request there will be no service but a celebration of her life will be held in Vernon this summer.
Elfrida was born in London, England and came to Canada as a War Bride in June of 1945. She was a very creative individual. She could be found doing pottery, painting, fabric sculpture, weaving, drawing and poetry. Her favourite field was weaving for which she won a number of national awards. Much of her artwork was inspired by animals and nature. She was also one of the first organic farmers first, on Lulu Island and at the farm in Ryder Lake. She raised free-range flocks of geese, chickens, turkeys, pigs, Charolais cattle, goats and most recently, llamas. The llamas provided company and lots of fleece for her weaving. Elfrida loved all animals with the exception of domestic cats. She was happiest driving her tractor around her Elk View farm followed by a trail of dogs and llamas. Her father taught Elfrida how to drive during her late teens. During her life she drove all manner of vehicles including large farm lorries. She continued to drive into her eighties. Elfrida attended Roedean school and was enrolled in art school when World War II started. It was at an art class where she met her husband, David, at an Art School course in England in 1942. She was in the Women’s Land Army and he was in the Canadian Army Overseas. David was later an eminent BC potter and ceramicist. He pre-deceased Elfrida in 1985. Elfrida raised four children: James, Jonathan, Jeremy and June. She had 11 grandchildren and many great-grandchildren. The farm was the hub of life for Elfrida. She loved living surrounded by her animals, art and gardens. Elfrida was still active and running the farm into her eighties. She lived her life on her own terms and with her own unique “style.” Elfrida passed away a few weeks ago short of her 97th birthday in Chilliwack. A Tea in honour of her life will be held on March 16, 2015 at the Chilliwack Airport Cafe from 2:00 until 3:30 pm. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca. Woodlawn Mt.
