Irwin Block comes down in 2014. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

A seven month investigation into an alleged drug trafficking ring with Chilliwack connections has ended with several arrests and the seizure of millions of dollars in drugs. The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of British Columbia, the province’s top anti-gang police unit, carried out

the investigation. Starting in August of 2014, officers zeroed in on an alleged distribution network based out of an apartment in the 45600 block of Brett Avenue in Chilliwack. Police raided the apartment in November, arresting two suspects and seizing 10 kilograms of cocaine, a large cocaine press, drug-packing material and other items. The two men were released

and tracked until last month, when police moved in for a massive bust. On Feb. 26 the CFSEU-BC, with help from the RCMP’s Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team, raided several locations. The first search warrant was executed in the 45500 block of McIntosh Drive, which police believed was a stash house. The second was executed in the 8800 block of Nowell Street, where a suspect lived. No one was home at McIntosh Drive, but two people, a 23 year

old man and 21 year old woman, were arrested at the Nowell Street address. Meanwhile, police also visited three storage lockers in Chilliwack. Two men, 22 and 24 years old, were arrested leaving one of the storage lockers. A 22 year old man was arrested arriving at one. The total street value of all of the drugs together, seized between November and February, is estimated to be $5,155,000. Continued: DRUGS/ p4

Chilliwack taxpayers will pay an additional $220,000 for property at Five Corners that the City of Chilliwack expropriated two years ago. At the time, the city paid $600,000 for the Irwin Block – located at the corner of Young and Yale Roads – as part of its plan to rejuvenate the downtown. However, owner Xing Chen challenged that amount, saying the property was really worth $1.1 million. He also sought additional damages totaling more than $700,000. He took the city to court in October, and last week a decision was announced. Although Justice Margot Fleming ruled against Chen’s call for additional damages, and rejected his estimate of the property’s value, she said the city of Chilliwack’s estimate was also too low. Based on her analysis, Fleming said the property was worth $820,000. She ordered the city to pay the difference. Said Justice Fleming: “The plaintiff is entitled to an award of $220,000, being the difference between the expropriation payment previously made by the City and the market value of the property at the time of expropriation.” Chen had purchased the property for $720,00 in 2009 as an investment. It sat vacant and in disrepair until the

City budget meeting most well-attended in years year-round recreational facility. Coun. Sam Waddington stirred up interest in the budget process at the last meeting after asking some probing questions about city priorities, like the curling club replacement. He stressed the need for more public input and was credited as the catalyst for the excellent turnout, and there was a lot of comments and feedback offered. Familiar faces included former mayor/MLA John Les and a former mayoral candidate Cameron Hull, and two perennial budget commentators Gary Raddysh and Bryden Nelmes. Chilliwack Curling Club manager Bruce Renwick gave an impassioned speech mapping out the strong need for a new curling facility, set to replace the one that is more than 60 years old. He was backed by several club members and curling advocates, who were in the crowd of about 70. Gary Raddysh made his annual pilgrimage to ask for a zero-per cent tax increase.

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It was budget night Tuesday at city hall and a much larger than usual crowd showed up. The 2015 financial plan was the leanest for Chilliwack in almost 20 years with a 1.49 tax rate increase — which is a $23 hike in taxes on a typical home. The budget passed unanimously by council at the end of the night, but at least two speakers said the tax increase should have been dropped to zero. The big-ticket budget items include the hiring of two additional RCMP officers this year, two firefighters and a firefighter trainer, along with one more bylaw enforcement officer in Chilliwack. Road repairs will roll out to the tune of $12.6 million over four years, for example, while one of the big topics of discussion was the new $6.5 million curling facility being planned for 2018. It’s going to be a multipurpose

“I say the city must learn to live within its means,” he said, later adding that Chilliwack was still in need to tax relief, despite the lowest increase in many years. A tax rate “that is pegged to inflation is a good start,” he noted, but wondered why any increase at all was coming this year. “It’s time to go all the way to zero until we see an extended period of economic growth.” Louis Traboin also said he felt the modest increase was still too much and gave a stern reminder to council that they were “here to represent all of Chilliwack.” Even one per cent increase for those on a fixed income would be hard to handle, he said. The community of Chilliwack has the lowest tax rates compared to other communities in the Lower Mainland, but Traboin said he didn’t care about that. “I don’t care because I don’t live there,” he said. He described Chilliwack finances as a never-ending shortfall, and

asked if every penny of last year’s budget was spent, like the snow removal budget. We n d y Major was not in favour of tax reduction, holding up the book, “Tax is Not a Four Letter Word.” “I didn’t see any mention of those who are livSam Waddington ing rough, or living in the streets,” Major said. Laura Campbell asked for better lighting of downtown streets, to help improve the downtown and prevent crime. Bryden Nelmes had many questions and comments, including asking council if they ever considered holding the budget meeting earlier in the process so citizens could offer feedback before coun-

Police crack down on distracted driving in the ’Wack Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Some drivers still can’t seem to leave their phones alone. A Distracted Driving campaign was launched across B.C. Tuesday and a local enforcement project brought RCMP and ICBC reps together in Chilliwack. A total of 39 tickets were issued by officers for “use of an electronic device,” while 26 were for seatbelts, and another 22 were just warnings. “Police are taking this seriously,” said RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail. “It’s clear that distracted driving kills.” Those who were caught red-handed with electronic devices or other distractions in Chilliwack this week were handed a $167 ticket and three points off their licence. “So if this is the only way to get a message across, then that’s what we’ll do, more enforcement and more education.” In Chilliwack they rotated between four roadside sites on Tuesday morning for the enforcement campaign, including one on Evans Parkway. Officers used scopes to pick out drivers not paying attention down the road, who were pulled over as they approached. Distracted driving causes more than a quarter of all crash fatalities in B.C. at 28 per cent, according to ICBC. It’s the second leading cause of traffic fatalities, with a total of 88 people killed across the entire province. That should give people pause, and make them leave

their phones alone. There is even a “distracted driver app” for those who can’t help themselves, since stats show you’re four times more likely to crash if you’re on the phone. Part of the challenge is the way everyone has grown so attached to these devices in recent years. “Being connected on their phones is a lifeline for some

cil approved it. “Even though there was a good turnout, historically there hasn’t been,” he said. Brent Bogart of Chilliwack Minor Baseball said baseball felt like the “poor cousin” and wondered if the sport could see facility upgrades, like a new stadium. “How does one get on a budget line like that?” he asked. John Les was one of the people giving Coun. Waddington the nod for sparking the high level of public interest in budget discussions. The former mayor and MLA said he is “amazed” at the Vedder area traffic congestion and commented if the city was going to spend almost $8 million on Promontory Road improvements it should provide the “solution” to gridlock. He touched on the houses owned by City of Chilliwack on Panorama Ridge, suggesting some could be sold to free up capital of $12 million to $15 million.

people,” said Mike Weightman, ICBC road safety coordinator for the Lower Mainland. It’s also grooming, eating, writing and other distractions, but personal electronic devices are the worst culprits statistically. On average, 30 people are killed in distracted drivingrelated crashes in the Lower Mainland every year. Despite

the penalties and safety risk, everyone still sees drivers chatting on their phones or texting in traffic. “We all see it. But when you really think about it, nothing is important enough to risk their lives for,” Cpl. Rail added. “We’re hoping a campaign like this will work.”

Two Chilliwack school board trustees have voted against meeting with local MLAs to fight for increased funding for the school district. Trustee Barry Neufeld made a motion to develop a rationale for an immediate increase in funding, and to then present that information to both John Martin and Laurie Throness by the end of March. But Trustee Heather Maahs said she’d rather they spent their energy “rolling up our sleeves and figuring out” the new, leaner budget imposed by the provincial government. Trustee Martha Wiens agreed with her. “We are in this position because we decided to spend every nickel,” Maahs said. “We used to have a surplus but now we have nothing to fall back on.” She also called a recent letter to the editor penned by fellow Trustee Paul McManus “disrespectful to the premier.” In the letter, published last week in The Progress, McManus stated that school boards have already “cut their meager budgets to the bone.” In response to Premier Christy Clark’s suggestion that boards simply “pick the low hanging fruit”, McManus suggested that voters consider Clark in the same way on election day. But Maahs and Wiens were alone in voting against the motion, and the board voted 5-2 to meet with the MLAs.

NDP brass make Chilliwack stop Horgan and James on postbudget tour Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Affordability for average British Columbians and the Aevitas waste recycling site were hot topics in Chilliwack this week. B.C. NDP Leader John Horgan, and Victoria-Beacon Hill MLA Carole James were at Decades Coffee Club on Wednesday to meet with about 20 residents to hear a range of views and concerns. It was a quick “postbudget tour” of the eastern Fraser Valley for the NDP heavyweights, and the talks touched on everything from the B.C. budget failings, to dwindling salmon habitat, and the potential risks if the Aevitas facility gets built in Chilliwack. Horgan stated it was a “cynicism” about the system that makes people distrustful when government offers assurances that “everything will be fine, don’t worry” as in the case of the hazardous waste recycling plant by Aevitas Inc., now await-

ing provincial review. Provincial of ficials recently told The Progress if the Aevitas plant “was not safe, it would not be built.” “People in Chilliwack should be concerned,” he said. “There is a strong desire to protect habitat and several underlined the importance of the Fraser River in our discussions.” Affordability for average citizens is always a big NDP priority. While costs are going up in all kind of areas, Horgan noted, from

hydro rates, to MSP and other hikes, wages have stayed very flat in B.C., and that’s been frustrating for a lot of people. James pointed out low and middle income earners needed a real break, and not the “insult” of a tiny minimum wage increase, and a tax break for the highest paid. “People don’t expect the government to do everything for them. But the government actually makes it hard,” she said. Some were not happy

to see a big tax cut in the budget for the top two per cent of wage earners that cost $230 million, said Horgan, nor are they happy with ongoing cuts to education or health. The purpose of the mini-tour was getting those messages across, said the Opposition leader. “We need to keep showing up, and talking to people like this,” said Horgan. “We want to have them recognize that their values are the same as our values.”

city announced plans to expropriate the building in 2012. There was some discussion by Chen about redevelopment. However his key investor was reluctant to commit to the downtown Chilliwack market, court documents show. Renovating the Irwin Block would have cost $786,000. Chilliwack’s decision to purchase the property was part of a larger scheme to encourage redevelopment of the downtown. “This is an important step forward in assembling the land required to create an attractive development opportunity in our downtown,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz at the time. The city has set out an aggressive vision for the property, and the other 10 properties it owns on the block. Three years ago it unveiled a plan that would eventually see a mix of commercial and residential uses developed on a single 1.5 hectare property, with three “mid-rise buildings” built around an urban park. Last year the city spent more than $140,000 to tear down the building. In its place it has built a temporary park. According to the 2015 financial plan, which was passed unanimously by council on Tuesday, nearly $4 million has been set aside this year for property acquisition in the downtown.

Live-stream democracy

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

If the Chilliwack school district is looking for a rationale to livestream its board meetings, it doesn’t have to look far. One of the school district’s objectives in its 2010-2015 strategic plan is to “work and learn through the integration of appropriate technology.” Specifically, “Use technology to improve information-gathering and evidence for formulating policy and making decisions.” Providing the public with better access to the decision-making process would seem an appropriate use of that technology. The concept isn’t new. While once it may have been a complicated and expensive proposition to broadcast a meeting, technology today has made commonplace. Indeed, both the City of Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley Regional District live-stream their council meetings to their website. The Fraser Cascade School District offers an audiocast. The Chilliwack School District should follow suit for several reasons. The most obvious: it provides parents and ratepayers with a clear look at how policies are made. It allows them to see first hand the presentations, the discussions that lead to the decisions about an education system they fund. That perspective increases understanding and encourages greater participation in the entire democratic process. Given the woefully low voter turnout at the last municipal election, that exposure couldn’t hurt. Certainly the public has the opportunity to attend public meetings, and some do. But not everyone (particularly parents with small children) has that ability. And yet, the technology exists where the meeting can be carried on a variety of platforms, from a desktop PC, to a smart phone. The Chilliwack school district has already made technology a priority in the classroom. It now needs to lead by example and make it a priority in the boardroom. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Government’s anti-terrorism bill goes too far

Do we need Bill C-51, the AntiTerrorism Act? Imagine this. A group of young people, all different ethnic backgrounds, are sitting around the water cooler indulging in a friendly heated debate about, well, anything. It could be about a video game, a new music CD, girls, a by-law, a movie, or parent’s rules. In their enthusiasm, some lapse into their own language and the others laugh or toss out some derisive statement about a politician or someone in authority. Suddenly they find themselves confronted by an official who has decided to arrest and detain them while he investigates their comments further. He’s acting on some hazy sense that an arrest may likely prevent a terrorist attack because of something he thought someone said. Really? What happened to

innocent conversation, privacy and freedom of speech? The abstract scenario might be a little excessive but it’s that kind of cause and effect that concerns a lot of people over the proposed tightened security laws contained in Bill C-51. It has launched questions and some profound probMargaret lems. The Bill had EVANS first reading in Parliament on Januar y 30 and it’s created a furor ever since. This Bill gives government agencies car te blanche access to big data information-sharing that will pull all Canadians, by accident or design, into a bureaucratic web. In the quest to analyze massive amounts

of personal data to profile trends, habits and behaviours, and in the process isolate those who stand apart from the “norm”, the level of collection will know no bounds. Information will be kept forever. No one will be able to know or find out how much of their personal information has been collected and shared. That’s pushing the envelope. The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives says the Bill would expand the powers of CSIS so that they could arrest Canadians on a suspicion that they might be involved in something criminal in the future. Then there’s the Passenger Protect Program, aka the no-fly list, which identifies individuals who may pose a threat to aviation security The program prevents them from boarding an aircraft. So what if your name gets added

in error (and it has happened in the past) and there is no mechanism to have that corrected? But it’s the invasion of privacy, a right protected under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, that worries many people. Who is squaring the circle between the right to privacy and the need for security? Section 8 of the Charter provides ever yone in Canada with protection against unreasonable search and protects our privacy rights against unreasonable intrusion, including surveillance, from the state. To what level does Bill C-51 conflict with that? After the Parliament shooting last October, 70 per cent of Canadians supported stiffer terrorism legislation according to a poll conducted by Forum Research. Today that number is down to 50 per cent. The Bill launches us on a slip-

pery slope, especially considering legitimate groups such as environmental organizations could be targeted for surveillance and the fact that there is no parliamentary oversight to monitor the activities of security services. That is setting the bar too low. Before Bill C-51 goes any further, an independent review body needs to fully examine exactly what this Bill means and the full extent of its reach. We need to know whether and to what degree it is unconstitutional, the extent to which it erodes privacy and the degree to which government agencies can set their power limit. It’s not too much of a stretch to imagine how that could be abused. So who is minding the minders? This piece of legislation is a bit too Orwellian. In its current state, we don’t need Bill C-51.

Left lane laws unenforceable As a person who commuted from Yarrow to Guildford for over 25 years, perhaps I am entitled to speak to this issue. Once you have taken a job that requires you to commute some distance daily, you must learn several things. Among the first, after roughly what time you need to leave home, comes the realization that the least frustrating way to do this is to simply go with the flow. Judge the ambient speed

of traffic that day or that mile and do your best to blend in. You can largely ignore the speedometer. If you’re overtaking too many people, you’re going too fast, if people are bunching up behind.... Then, suddenly, you’re slowed to a virtual crawl. Some self-important goof, with the cruise set at 99.5 km/h is dominating the left lane, and has no intention of moving right any time soon. Tension

builds, tempers flare, and people do stupid things! Unfortunately, a new, unenforceable law will not fix that! Patrol cars on the side of the road will not identify who the culprit is. Helicopters every 10 kilometres might, but that is not financially viable. Hence, my subject, ‘silly law’. We can make all the laws we like, unenforceable ones simply waste time and money! Don Brewer Yarrow

please-move-over friendly wave,” but someone giving them the middle finger. What is a driver to do when it’s dark? You know the thing sticking out the left side of your steering column? The thing that makes your signal lights work? If you pull that towards you, your high-beams activate momentarily. It’s not for testing your high beams. This feature

is called flash to pass and one that all drivers should be aware of. It works at night and this is all it should take. The BC government has spent enough money on campaigns and signs trying to teach people common sense. Ever see the “stay right except to pass” signs on the highway? Do they work? No. They enforce this law

M2W2 looking for volunteer friends Yesterday I went to visit my friend Romeo at Rowat Avenue, CSC Halfway House. As always I was well received by office staff who called for my M2W2 Buddy whom I first met in 1980. He has actually been out of the Birdcage for 18 years, no infractions whatever since then. As providence would have it I also met his PO (Parole Officer). His comment about Romeo was that he was a “great guy”. Most Chilliwack residents, I am sure, do not realize what a great treasure they have just off

Young Street, on Rowat Ave., the western extension of Chilliwack Central Road. As a result of my visits to Rowat Halfway House over the years I have connected with five inmates who have become wonderful friends, none have been “repeaters”, taking on jobs, uniting with their families and friends. The wholesome tone and atmosphere speaks for itself. There is more! The Chilliwack Bowls of Hope Society provides delicious, wholesome lunches for 400 children in neighbouring schools. These lunches are pre-

pared by the residents/inmates at Rowat House, 45914 Rowat Avenue. What’s more the healthy ingredients are from the greenhouses on the Rowat property, these crops also are grown by the Rowat House residents. Here is a challenge for friendship building: there are currently seven Rowat House inmates who are waiting for M2W2 Volunteer friends. I would encourage you to just drop by the office, you will be very welcome to just say hello. George H Epp Chilliwack,B.C.

Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra a delight I just wanted to let you know how much my husband and I enjoyed the “Viva Espana” performance of the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra, Saturday night. I liked the idea of having an emcee, Jack Kopstein. This allowed the conductor, Gregory Johnson,

freedom to concentrate on the orchestra. The music was lovely and so entertaining, although I suspect it was quite a difficult challenge. Despite that, the orchestra met that challenge and sounded very professional! Karen Pitkethly, the Spanish dancer, was

terrific, but with those incredible moves, she needed more of the stage on which to perform. Tiffany Delooff did an amazing rendition of Villa Lobos’ No. 5. Her voice moved effortlessly from angelic to haunting. And who better to accompany her than Rod Swanson, truly a master

School trustees debate merit of budget surplus Don’t Wait

The Progress

SCHOOL from Front

Clint Johnston has been elected as a Member at Large for the B.C. Teachers’ Federation’s executive committee. A vote for key positions within the organization was held on the weekend at the BCTF annual general meeting. Johnston, who is also president of the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association, is now one of eight members at large. In his thank you speech to fellow members, Johnston thanked all of his supporters. “I look forward to representing you and I hope I’m worthy of your support,” he said. Jim Iker was re-elected as BCTF president, and will serve a third one-year term. First vice-president Glen Hansman and second vice-president Teri Mooring were also re-elected in their positions. “I am very grateful to BC teachers for all their support, commitment, and solidarity this past year,” Iker said. “It is an honour to lead this great union and be the spokesperson in our collective advocacy for better working and learning conditions across British Columbia. In the coming year, we will continue our push to ensure BC’s public education system is properly funded so teachers and students have the support they need in our schools.” Other newly-elected members at large include Mike Ball from Nanaimo, Gail Chaddock-Costello from Langley, James Sanyshyn from Burnaby and Paul Steer from Delta. Returning members are Carole Gordon from Kelowna, Karen Langenmaier from Comox and Norm Sabourin from Boundary.

Board chair Silvia Dyck spoke strongly in favour of the meeting, and also defended the board’s previous spending habits. “I do not apologize for spending the money we have,” she said, adding that “increasing needs have put pressure on us we didn’t foresee. “It behooves all of us to write letters in support of public education,” she said, including parents, teachers, trustees and the wider community. “I will never apologize for spending money on our students,” Dyck added. Trustee Walt Krahn also supported Neufeld’s motion, and dismissed the idea that school boards should stockpile funds. “We cannot withhold money in favour of building a surplus,” Krahn said. Trustee Dan Coulter pointed out that school districts that have socked away money are the reason the premier has cut their budgets.

City budget meeting draws a crowd BUDGET from page 3 “There’s a very significant asset there,” Les noted. On the subject of downtown revitalization and the money spent on it over the years, “maybe we need to quit throwing taxpayers’ money” at the problem. Cameron Hull the asked about the $3.95 million budgeted for downtown property acquisition. Coun. Jason Lum summed up the night after the last speaker finished: “It was great to see that amount of public participation.” Coun. Waddington was thrilled by the turnout and the range of feedback received, adding “that is what this process is all about.” He said he watched as only two people showed up to last year’s budget meeting, so “seeing this many is heartwarming.” Coun. Chuck Stam said the lowest tax

rate in years was “history” in the making for Chilliwack, and that the budget meeting was probably the best attended that he’d ever seen, and thanked Coun. Waddington. “People were discussing the budget, something that didn’t happen all that often.” Mayor Sharon Gaetz urged residents to keep offering feedback, as city reps struggle to offer services “from twinkle to twilight.” “For those who think their issues were not addressed tonight, I urge you to keep us aware of them,” Gaetz said, adding later it shows that “when you’re patient and thrifty, good things will happen.”

In February, school boards were told they would have to cut $29 million from their cumulative budgets this coming year, and $25 million in the next. In Chilliwack, the cuts equal about $1.3 million over the two years. Neufeld responded to Maahs’ opposition by explaining that it’s not unusual for the board to meet with provincial representatives anyway, and they would do so in a “respectful but assertive” manner. “It’s time we had a serious and heartfelt talk,” he said. “We have a duty to advocate for public education. “Chilliwack school board has been more frugal and careful with money than other school districts but the cost are going up faster than the savings,” Neufeld said, including costs for heating and lighting. He wants to explain to both MLAs how the new budget cuts will transfer to cuts within the classroom.

And just like the balmy spring weather in the Fraser Valley, their return was a little bit earlier than usual. “They arrived two weeks early this year,” Janet Hutchinson said, while leading the first interpretive walk at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve on a recent Saturday morning. “When they come back, it’s because there is lots of food for them,” she explained. And they haven’t come from very far off. Unlike the Fraser Valley’s other popular aviator, the bald eagle, great blue herons don’t migrate. Instead, they disperse to nearby areas within the region for the winter. But they always return to their mating nests in the spring. Last year, there were 165 active nests at the reserve, which is con-

sidered a large colony by most standards. But many of the nests were damaged or lost completely in January during the winter storm that toppled trees with high winds and frigid temperatures. This year, the number is closer to 125, Hutchinson said. “Every year they come back to their nests and rebuild, or construct new ones,” she said, looking up into the morning sun as it filtered through the cottonwoods. Part of rebuilding those nests also serves as an important mating ritual. Herons take on a new partner every mating season. The male herons find sticks to build up the nests, and carry them into the colony to their female mates. “We’ll see some stick-carrying behavior today,” she said. Sure enough, high above Hutchinson and the group gathered on the Vedder trail, a heron navigates his way through the branches. A long, skinny stick hangs from his beak as he lands close to the nest,

and his mate takes it from him. But this process doesn’t always go according to plan. Moments later there’s much squawking at another nest, resulting in one heron flying off to another tree. “That happens. And there’s the occasional bird with no partner,” Hutchinson said, as the numbers don’t always match up. There are also juvenile herons among the group who aren’t ready to mate. Hutchinson and other volunteers at the reserve hold these walks once a month, explaining the birds’ behavior while educating the public on how to behave while interacting with nature. The birds are here early because their food supply was ready for them early, she said. While coast great blue herons are almost solely fishermen, the Fraser Valley herons have a much more varied diet. “They’ll eat voles, fish, amphibians, snakes, gophers, dragonflies,”

she said. “Fishing is their main occupation at the coast, but here they’ll eat anything they can catch.” There are other differences, too. The B.C. subspecies of great blue heron are “just a bit smaller and darker” than herons in other regions. One of the most interesting facts to learn along the heron walk is how the eagles and herons co-habitate the area, even though the eagle predates on the heron. An eagle’s nest sits almost in the centre of the colony. It’s identifiable by its large mass, built up in the crook off a large tree. Heron nests, on the other hand, are scattered throughout the trees, with many to a tree. They drip with sticks and seem as if a light breeze could send them flying. Eagles prey on the eggs and the young herons. But eagles also keep other predators at bay and will naturally defend their territory. So while the herons may sacrifice a few of their young each year to their resi-

dent pair of eagles, the overall loss is lower than when the eagles leave, Hutchinson explained. Just a few weeks ago, bobcats were spotted in the area, with a young cat climbing a tree. Raccoons will climb the trees and scoop out eggs from unattended nests, too. The herons will be nesting until July, and there are three more interpretive walks planned, on April 4, May 2 and June 6, at 10 a.m. To see the herons on any other day, park at the Great Blue Heron Reserve at 5200 Sumas Prairie Road and walk along the dike to the west of the parking lot. The heron colony is high in the cottonwoods on the left, and it’s about a 15 minute walk roundtrip. The walk is wheelchair and stroller friendly, and dogs are required to be on leash.

Driveway’s Alexandra Straub will pilot an all-electric Nissan LEAF in the annual AJAC Eco-Run next week. The all-electric sedan, which is also the prize car provided by the Scrap-It program for our Plug-In to Win contest, will glide silently from the Vancouver International Auto Show in downtown Vancouver next Wednesday. The route, devised by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada, will then take the participating 19 eco-friendly vehicles to Victoria via the Nanaimo ferry. On Thursday, the vehicles will be put through their paces on a handling course in Langford to see how versatile they are. The EcoRun concludes that evening in Vancouver. In addition to pure electric vehicles, the Eco-Run

includes plug-in and conventional hybrids, as well as vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells, diesel-fuelled powertrains and highly efficient gasoline options. There’s no limit to the size of vehicle showcased, as they range from subcompacts to pickup trucks. The participants include the 2015 Hyundai Tucson Fuel Cell, 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel, 2015 Kia Soul EV, 2015 Ford Focus 1.0-litre, 2015 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid and the 2015 Chevy Volt. The purpose of the event is to inform consumers of these alternative options. These new vehicles are driven in real-world road conditions in order to fully test for fuel efficiency and the reduction of carbon dioxide emissions.

Five hot new crossovers on show Several new crossovers will be featured at this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Vancouver auto show. Honda recently revealed for the first time at the Chicago and Toronto auto shows, the all-new Pilot. Gone is the boxy threerow vehicle, replaced by a sleeker, more stylish design. Now equipped with LED headlights and LED daytime running lights, along with available 20inch wheels and panoramic sunroof, this is a modern take on family hauling. The Pilot is powered by a 3.5L V6 engine, matched to a six-speed automatic transmission or an optional nine-speed unit. This new model will be sold with front or all wheel drive and because it is 135kg lighter than the last model it should be more efficient. Mercedes is renaming the M-Class as the GLE. GL

The fuel cell Tucson can go 420 kilometres on one tank of fuel, a range about which electric car manufacturers can only dream.

refers to an SUV/Crossover and the E is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;E-Class of SUVsâ&#x20AC;?. To confuse things a bit more, the first debut is the GLE Coupe, a sportier coupe-like SUV designed to compete with the BMW X6. This Mercedes, with

its sleeker silhouette and powerful 262-hp biturbo V6, looks great. It will range from comfort to allout performance. The Acura RDX has been a big hit for this premium brand. Based on the everpopular Honda CR-V, this Acura is filled with lots of luxury touches for a modest price. The 2016 RDX showcases the latest look of the Acura family. The dual LED headlamps and improved interior design, including two screens in the centre of the dash, puts the RDX in line with the new TLX and recent MDX. Good news is that the trusty V6 engine will stay for 2016. Hyundai has announced that they it will start leasing Hydrogen Fuel Cell Tucson SUVs to Canadians this year, with the Vancouver area being the first market

to receive these worldclass vehicles. This is an electric SUV but instead of getting electricity from the grid it is produced using an onboard hydrogen fuel cell. The owner fills the fuel tank with hydrogen, not gasoline, and drives normally. The fuel cell Tucson can go 420 kilometres on one tank of fuel, a range about which electric car manufacturers can only dream. Ford has one of the best selling SUVs of all time in the Explorer, with more than 350,000 sold in Canada so far. The all-new 2016 version made available a 2.3L EcoBoost engine on the base and XLT trim. The 290hp 3.5L V6 engine is carried over but the Sport trim and new Platinum trim will be fitted with the 365hp Ecoboost V6. The new Platinum model

will be fitted with real aluminum and ash wood accents, plus leather will trim the steering wheel, instrument panel, armrests, doors and other trim. Range Rover has two new versions of the Range Rover Sport. The most popular will be the all-new 3.0L diesel engine that produces a whopping 440 lb.-ft. of torque and better fuel consumption. In fact, Range Rover claims a 32 percent improvement over the regular V6 model. On the high performance end is the Range Rover SVR, capable of a run to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds. This will be the first Range Rover to sport the new SVR (Special Vehicle Racing) badge. Prices remain to be finalized on most of these vehicles at press time. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Trucks with pulling power take centre stage The new Nissan Titan offers a roomy interior that rivals the other popular full-size trucks on the market today.

Ian Harwood

Truck lovers could fill an afternoon running a careful eye over the new trucks at the Vancouver auto show. Here are my five picks for special attention: 2015 Chevrolet Colorado: The all-new design is turning heads all across Canada. This mid-size truck fills a void here. Still expected to work as hard as a full-size truck, the Colorado can tow more than 3,039 kilograms (6700 lbs) a 2.5L I-4 engine is standard with an optional 3.6L V6 with a six speed automatic transmission. Base price - $21,695. 2015 Ford F150: The combination of a body made of aluminum body and high strength steel in its frame make this truck up to 317 KG (700 lbs) lighter. This truck was inspired by Ford’s concept vehicle, the Atlas. It has 11 new class-exclusive features, including 360-degree camera view, integrated loading ramps stowed in the pickup bed, 400-watt power outlets inside the cab, LED headlights and side view mirror spotlights, and remote tailgate release. There are four engine choices, the 3.5L Ti-VCT V6, 2.7L EcoBoost, 5.0 Ti-VCT V8, and the 3.5L EcoBoost. The 3.7L V6 delivers 282 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque. The 2.7L V6 has 325 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque. The 5.0 V8 has 385 horsepower with 387 lb-ft of torque and the 3.5L V6 is pushing 282 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque. These are all capable engines depending on your requirements. Base price - $24,899 2015 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel: It is the only light duty diesel available here. It has a 3.0 L V6 Diesel engine with a torqueflite eight speed transmission. Not only will it give you 420-pound feet of torque and plenty of towing capabilities, it will also reduce CO2 emissions and runs on B20 Biodiesel. Base price $31,140 2015 GMC 3500HD Denali: It is a beast. This truck is built to pull with 10,251 KG

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

(22,600 lbs) of trailer towing capacity. The 6.6L V8 turbo engine delivers 397 hp and 765 lb ft of torque and is paired with a 1000 series Allison transmission. With interior upgrades such as

triple door seals, hydraulic powertrain and body mounts, 12 way power adjustable bucket seats, heated leather wrapped steering wheel and a Bose sound system you can operate this beast and still

feel comfortable doing so. Base price - $67,305 2015 Nissan Titan: This Titan can tow up to 4309 kg (9,500lbs) thanks to 385 lb-ft of torque from its 5.6 L DOHC 32 valve V8 engine producing

317 hp at 5,200 rpm. If off-road driving is part of your plans then the Titan is ready. With the Prox-4x package you get heavy duty skid plates protect the oil pan, fuel tank, transfer case

and lower radiator. The 4WD system utilizes a shift on the fly two-speed transfer case, which allows you to 4WD at a moment’s notice. Low range can be selected when the terrain requires it.

The new Nissan Titan offers a roomy interior that rivals the other popular full-size trucks on the market today. Base price - $40,498 ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

Chilliwack’s senior population is growing and exceeding provincial averages; currently 12% are over the age of 65. With this fact in mind, Chilliwack Community Services (CCS) offers several programs that support the needs of seniors. Community Drivers is a volunteer base program that provide safe, reliable and sensitive door-to-door transportation to medical and other appointments in the Fraser Valley.

Transportation is available 24/7, with one day notice, if possible. Manual wheelchair transportation is available by request and a kilometer fee is charged. Meals on Wheels is also a volunteer driven program (literally!), which offers home delivery to seniors who because of age, illness or disability, cannot prepare adequate meals for themselves. Earl, one of our caring volunteers, is so dedicated to helping seniors, that he used his bicycle to deliver 12 meals one morning. It is through the dedication and willingness of our volunteers, that many of our programs are successful.

Several years ago, Phyllis chose to get rid of her car and started using CCS Community Drivers program for all her driving needs. She is constantly amazed and grateful for the friendly professionalism of the volunteer drivers. She has used the service for eye testing, dentist, family doctor and specialist appointments. She has said “ … it’s like having your own car except now someone else does the driving. I still have my independence; all I have to do now is call.”

CCS is continuously looking for volunteers to support programs like these. We often use the saying “from Twinkle to Twilight” because we support the very young to the not so young. If you would like to volunteer or find out more about our programs, please call 604.792.4267 or check us out at online at www.comserv.bc.ca.

Chiefs find a new gear in playoffs

The Chilliwack Chiefs are off to the third round of the BCHL playoffs. The junior A team completed a four game sweep of the Prince George Spruce Kings Monday night, bouncing their Mainland division rivals with a 4-3 win. Playing in the cozy confines of the Prince George Coliseum, the Chiefs scored three in the third to overcome a 3-1 deficit. Tipper Higgins scored the game winner with just 20 seconds remaining, sniping his 11th of the playoffs (in just nine games) with PG’s Alex Stoley in the sin bin for slash-

Individually, Chilliwack David Jacobson continued has the top four point producto shine in net. ers in the playoffs. The Spruce Kings Jake Hand leads out-shot the Chiefs the scoring parade 17-6 in a dominant with six goals and 16 first period, but points. Braiden Epp was the Higgins (9-11-4only one to put a puck 15), Puffer (9-7-8-15) past him. and Kawaguchi (9-5Jacobson ended 10-15) follow. up stopping 31 of Big blueliner 34 shots, keeping Vincent Desharnais, his team in it long Tipper who had just one enough for them to HIGGINS goal and five points stage the comeback. in 54 regular season You can argue about the strength of oppo- games, is the highest scoring sition, but so far the Chiefs defenceman in the postseaare steam-rolling their way son with eight points (tied with Nanaimo’s Nicholas through the postseason. Chilliwack has lost just Gushue). And now, Desharnais and once in nine games, eliminating the Coquitlam Express in company get to sit back and relax. five and PG in four. The Interior division series They’re averaging five has the Penticton Vees and goals per game.

Vernon Vipers tied at two games apiece. The Vees won the first two on home ice by scores of 4-3 (overtime) and 5-2. The Vipers returned the favour in the next two, taking back to back 5-2 decisions at Vernon’s Kal Tire Place. Meanwhile, the Nanaimo Clippers and Powell River Kings are slugging it out on the Island, their series also tied 2-2. The heavily favoured Clippers won the first two at home (4-2 and 2-1) and lost the next two on the road (2-1 and 2-1). The third round will begin March 25 with Chilliwack facing two of those teams in a double round-robin format. The Chiefs will host and visit the Interior and Island champs. The two teams with the best records in the roundrobin will play for the BCHL championship. See bchl.ca

So who is next for the Chilliwack Chiefs? After capturing the BCHL’s Mainland division championship, they have advanced to the three team round robin semi-final that begins March 25. We don’t know the other two teams will be participating. The schedule is set for the round robin and can be found on both the BCHL (bchl.ca) and Chiefs websites. The teams will be seeded No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3 based on their regular-season points totals. The Chiefs could slot in to any of those three spots. Two teams could be seeded ahead of them (Penticton and Nanaimo) but two teams could be seeded below them (Vernon and Powell River). I was able to get up to Prince George for games three and four. Thank you to all of yyou ou who listened to Barry Douglas and I on the broadcast. We had a blast doing it. I hadn’t been there in 10 years and while the rink has seen a few improvements, it’s still very much an old Chilliwack Coliseumstyle barn. The press box is a little cramped, but we w ere extremely close to were the ice, right over top the Chiefs bench. So close that players on the Chiefs bench could hear some of the goings on in the press box late in

game four. Chiefs forwards Jake Hand and Craig Pufferr shared the team’s mostt valuable player award during the regular season. Through two rounds of playoffs you could make a case for them sharing the playoff MVP award as well. But then you leave offf forward Tipper Higgins (11 goals in nine games), Jordan Kawaguchi (five goals, 10 assists and absolutely dominant in game four’s third period comeback) and goaltender David Jacobson who has been extremely y good. How about defenceman Vincentt Desharnais, who continues to dominate defensively and has exploded offensively. One or two guys mayy stand out in any given game, but this team continues to get good results because of theirr team depth. Tickets for the nextt round will go on sale Monday morning. Season ticket holders will have their seats held until 10 a.m. the dayy prior to the Chiefs firstt home game. Keep an eye on the Chiefs website (chilliwackchiefs.net), twitterr feed and Facebook page this weekend as results come in from the otherr two series and we learn exactly who and when the Chiefs play next. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Cheering on the home team Jessica Peters, Black Press Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Thursday afternoon at Chilliwack secondary and a crowd is gathering just out the back doors, ready to take in the first home rugby game of the season. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a match thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sure to be full of rough and hearty body hits as the Storm battles against G.W. Graham for the win. Meanwhile, inside the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gymnasium, a small team of athletes works through their moves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.â&#x20AC;? Meet the new CSS cheer team. One dozen girls of varying experience in dance, theatre, cheerleading, track and field hockey. They work under the direction of coach/ sponsor teacher Lynette Earle and stunt coach Jaylene Howie, meeting twice a week for gruelling practices that run up to two hours a time. Tuesdays are a regular practice, and Thursdays are stunt days. And because this is a home game day, it will be their first time cheering a rugby game. The girls are excited. Their warmup runs the gamut from light stretching to full-on Pilates, holding planks for minutes at a time. And just when their

coach thinks theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had enough, the girls ask for more. It was the girls who asked for the team in the first place. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had some girls come to me and ask about it last year,â&#x20AC;? Earle said. It would have been impossible without both Earle as the sponsoring teacher, and the stunt coach. They started up in late October with 15 and have dwindled down the the dedicated dozen. The team has cheered for boys and girls basketball already, focusing on the home games. But what the fans at the games see are called sideline cheers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; easier routines that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include the stunts. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming, though, Earle said. The girls are working on a big routine that theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll perform at the year end assembly. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loaded with stunts, choreography, physicality, and all the trappings of a full cheer show. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just one proviso. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t toss,â&#x20AC;? she said, due to liability. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to keep contact in high school cheer.â&#x20AC;? But they still have â&#x20AC;&#x153;flyers.â&#x20AC;? In Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

practice, they break off into four groups of three. In each group, they work on lifting the flyer straight up, using the strength theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve built up over months of practice. The goal, by the end of the year, is to have all three groupsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; flyers raised in perfect unison. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a pretty demanding sport,â&#x20AC;? Earle said, watching the girls as they sometimes stumble, sometimes nail it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Balance and core strength is very important.â&#x20AC;? This is the only high school based cheer team in Chilliwack, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping to grow. Right now, the girls donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have mats to fall onto when they miss a hit. That will cost the team about $5,000, and

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll take a few years to get up to those higher levels,â&#x20AC;? she said. But sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s confident cheer has become popular enough to make the program sustainable. And the long-term hope is that having a cheer team at home games will help build CSS school spirit â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â a school that used to draw in crowds that could lift the roof off a gym. â&#x20AC;&#x153;School spirit has been a bit of a struggle at CSS,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The fan base has really dwindled and people just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come out and cheer like they used to.â&#x20AC;? Maybe that will change one day, Earle said. But until fans start filling the seats again, CSS teams can count on the cheer team to rally them on.

Earle has a long list of fundraisers planned for the rest of the school year. But the numbers are there for growth. There are plenty of talented cheerleaders in town, both through Fusion and the Giants. Many of them are in the elementary and middle school level right now. But theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be in high school soon, and Earle and her inaugural team will be ready for them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty sure our team will be bigger next year,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We would like to have a junior team and a varsity team.â&#x20AC;? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking at entering competitions in the near future, too, but as a new group they are limited to entering those at their beginner level.

Mary Evelyn

Hallam

July 3, 1928 March 4, 2015 It is with heavy hearts we announce the loss of Mary. She was born and raised in Rosedale, the youngest daughter of Frances and Weldon Miller. Mary married Keith Hannah in 1947 and 10 years later they moved to Hope where they owned and operated the Hope Variety Store. They sold the store to operate the Hope Golf Course with Keith as Golf Pro and Mary as club house manager. This led to a move to the 108 Golf Course with Mary taking over as Manager of the 108 Motor Lodge. Shortly after Keith’s death she moved back to Chilliwack where she eventually met and married Eric Hallam in 1988. Mary and Eric were fortunate to each have a loving and happy second marriage that lasted over 26 years. Mary worked many years for Wallace Jewelry as well as being involved in local charity groups and was an active member of the Mount Shannon United Church. Much of Mary’s later years were spent helping and watching her great grandson, John Brown, grow up. Her love, friendship and support will be missed by all that were lucky enough to be part of her life. Mary was predeceased by her husband, Keith Hannah (1976) and her husband Eric Hallam (2015). Mary is survived by her son Rick (Corry) Hannah, daughters Yvonne (Rick) Cretain, Colleen Hallam, and Shannon Ryland. She also left behind her two sisters, Yvonne Armitage and Lennie Bodo. She will be missed by her grandchildren, Kerri Brown, Scott Cretain, Angela (Jonathan) McKinney, Eric (Tanja) Tomlinson, Brent (Jocelyn) Tomlinson, Kevin Ryland and her much adored great grandchildren John, Kiera, Georgia, Jayda, Kiley, Rhys, and Davis. Mary also leaves behind many nieces and nephews. We want to thank all the doctors and staff at the Chilliwack Hospital and all the staff at the Cascade Care Home who made Mary’s last days as bearable as possible. The family would appreciate it if you would refrain from sending flowers and instead make a donation to the Children’s Hospital or the charity of your choice. No service is planned at Mary’s request. 3/15F_HO20
