Pre-emptive attack on climbing car thefts Older vehicles still a favourite target Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It might sound counterintuitive, but older vehicles are at a higher risk of being stolen than flashy new ones. The number one vehicle stolen in the Fraser Valley was either a 1998 or 2000 Honda Civic, according to the Top 10 list from ICBC. The older Hondas are second only to F-series Ford trucks from 2005 or 2006. Using a steering wheel lock or an immobilizer can go a long way toward preventing auto
theft. That’s the thinking as Chilliwack RCMP, and ICBC team up this week to launch Operation Lock Up, a program to help protect older model vehicles from being stolen with free steering wheel locks. They’ve got 100 locks to give away over the next while, and the timing couldn’t be more perfect. “Auto crime is on the rise in B.C. for the first time in a decade,” said RCMP Cpl. Nicole Delagorgendiere. The first month of 2015 in Chilliwack saw 44 vehicles
stolen, compared to only 18 in January 2014, which shows it more than doubled from the same time last year. In February 2014, there were 27 vehicles stolen, and 32 in February of 2015. The activities and movements of known prolific offenders make a big impact when it comes to auto crime, said the officer in charge of community policing in Chilliwack. Four car thieves that came to town earlier in the year were put out of commission when they were taken into custody, and by the end of February the auto theft numbers were down. “Our theft of auto and theft from auto rates often correlate

with who recently gets out of custody and who goes in,” she said. Officials are trying to get across the message that “prevention and education” are key, and are targeting owners that don’t have immobilizers installed with the lock-up program. It may be obvious, but it’s crucial for owners to lock and secure their vehicles each and every time. Nothing should be left inside the vehicle. Anything in view can be a target, from soughtafter purses, laptops, or GPS systems, to something as simple as that loonie or toonie left in the tray. Continued: STOLEN/ p10

The B.C. Court of Appeal has ruled in favour of the B.C. government on the longrunning dispute with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation over the removal of class size and special needs support formulas from classrooms. In a lengthy judgment released Thursday, four of five appeal court judges found that the province did not infringe on the constitutional rights of teachers to bargain working conditions. The appeal court pointed out numerous errors in the 2011 judgment of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin, and overturned her order that the government pay $2 million in damages, which has been paid to the union. BCTF president Jim Iker said the decision is “very disappointing” the union will seek leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada in its bid to restore classroom rules the government removed from its contract in 2002. “All teachers are looking for is workable and teachable classrooms,” Iker said. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said the changes made to classroom organization in the disputed period have led to “dramatic improvements in student outcomes, particularly for students with special needs.” The B.C. education ministry has argued that caps on class size and number of students in each class with personalized learning plans were unduly restrictive. The NDP government of the late 1990s negotiated a settlement where the BCTF gave up salary increases in exchange for class size caps, specialist teacher levels and limits on the number of designated special needs students in each class. The appeal court decision leaves in place efforts by the government to settle the bitter dispute, including a provision in the current contract to pay $105 million to the union to retire thousands of grievances filed over class size and composition. The six-year contract signed last fall after a lengthy strike also includes additional preparation time and a “learning improvement fund” to deal with special needs support.

Bus fees and tightened belts at school board District explores range of cuts to balance books Jessica Peters The Progress School bus fees will return to Chilliwack School District in the fall, following a lengthy discussion by the board on Tuesday night. The current user fee schedule, as presented to the board and approved in a 5-2 vote, will mean annual bus fees per family could range anywhere from $215 for one “eligible” rider to $700 for two “courtesy riders.” No family will pay for more than two children’s bus transportation, due to a cap put in place. Additionally, families who are unable to pay due to their financial situation can apply for a
waiver on the fees. The Chilliwack School District receives $2.3 million in provincial funding for student transportation costs, but spends about $2.7 million annually. Collecting an annual user fee for ridership is expected to fill the gap in a budget that’s already strained and expected to drastically affect schools this fall. It could also result in the need for fewer buses. There are currently 1,577 courtesy riders, who may be traveling out of their catchment area to a school of choice, or a specific academy, or to remain in their preferred school after moving. Other courtesy riders may live in two
homes, and travel back and forth between catchment areas. The district’s secretary treasurer, Gerry Slykhuis, said Tuesday night that implementing the fee schedule will undoubtedly cause a drop in courtesy riders. The proposed $350 per student fee is equal to 10 monthly student passes on public transit. Eligible ridership would likely also drop, Slykhuis said, as experienced the last time Chilliwack school district introduced fees in 2010. Trustee Walt Krahn pointed out that traffic at schools during that time was chaotic, and caught the attention of city bylaw officers as parents and caregivers blocked traffic in congested parking lots designed for buses — not heavy car traffic. Trustees Heather Maahs and
Martha Wiens both voted against the fees, hoping for more time to find answers to questions surrounding the fee schedule, and alternatives. However, Trustee Paul McManus pointed out they’ve been discussing fees for months, and have had ample time to find those answers. While the school district has found ways to carry the deficit over the last few schools (the fees were previously scrapped in 2012), the recent cuts by the provincial budget has forced staff to “pick the lowest hanging fruit.” Providing transportation to school is not a requirement of the district, and in many districts busing has been scrapped altogether.
Budget woes Plenty of other areas will be heavily impacted by next year’s budget, Slykhuis said. While some school districts had large surpluses, that hasn’t been the case recently for Chilliwack. “We are definitely beyond easy pickings,” he told the board, while going over the preliminary budget for 2015-2016. “This was a very difficult process and this will be impacting our schools. We can’t make this work without impacting our schools.” Staffing reductions make up a large part of the savings, at the board level but also within the schools. Some positions will be
40 years of retail history marked in Chilliwack Jessica Peters The Progress Chilliwack Sears celebrated its milestone 40th birthday on Wednesday morning, giving thanks to their customers and employees for its success. The event included a visit from Ron Boire, Sears Canada’s president and CEO, and many local past general managers and employees. Boire met with some longtime employees, including Ruth Riediger, who started working for Sears 45 years ago. “I came over here to help to setup,” she said. “I was at the catalogue store on Wellington.” When she was asked to stay on at the new “Cottonwood Corners Mall” location, she took the opportunity — and learned how to sell menswear and cameras. It was quite a different job from her role in the catalogue shop, where she had worked in the credit department. Other than one year in Winnipeg, where she also worked at Sears, Riediger has kept clocking in at the Sears store all this time. She had some advice for those hoping to secure a job with the department store in the future. “You need to be ambitious,” she said. “You can’t be scared to try something different.” While she had become a familiar face at the store, she is now working in inventories, “behind the scenes.” Riediger is one of more than a dozen people who have worked at the loca-

tion for more than 20 years. Surely, the store has a long history in Chilliwack. Chilliwack Progress archives report that when the department store first opened, in October of 1975, a crowd of about 500 people “swarmed into the store as soon as ‘Welcome to Simpsons-Sears’ was declared over the public address system.” The Chilliwack Junior Secondary school band and choir provided entertainment, and Mayor W.G.R.

Simpson cut the ribbon. Back then, the mall was known as Cottonwood Corner, and teens could be found hanging out at the Willie Woozle Malt Bar. Then, store manager Robert Hoogendoorn told a reporter that close to 500 employment applications had been received. One of those applicants may have been Frank Love, who was on hand to celebrate the store’s 40th on Wednesday. He was 19, but the job
was by far his first, he said. Love was in charge of bringing in audio equipment on Wednesday, and managed to find an old fashioned microphone and speakers as a tip of the hat to the store’s longevity. Boire said part of Sears’ success is that they focus on local connections, hire “real human beings” and offer solid quality products for mid-range prices. One of the reasons Sears remains strong while other department have failed is their
dedication to the community, and their strategy of marketing to middle-income shoppers, he added. Wednesday’s event also included a cheque donation to the Chilliwack YMCA in the amount of $10,000. Sears Chilliwack is one of the most established stores in the country, beginning in 1953. The average Sears location is 25 years old. This Saturday, Sears will be celebrating with public, with treats, prizes and live musical entertainment.

the consciousness of a community, and I’m very excited to see what this can do to transform Chilliwack,” he said. It took months to get all the necessary approvals, but RousselJanssen is thrilled to see it come to fruition. “I’m really happy with what it looks like, and optimistic about the impact,” she said. Public art can run the gamut from functional to purely esthetic, and doesn’t have to thoughtlessly plopped down. “It could be a beautiful bike rack, a painted curb or a sidewalk with a beautiful mosaic,” said the artist. Canadian Mental Health Association’s Mental Health Week is an annual event that takes place during the first week in May to encourage people from all walks of life to learn, talk, reflect and engage with others on all issues relating to mental health.

ported in spirit by Ruth & Naomi’s Mission. Five members of the Chilliwack Cheamview Clubhouse helped out with Wheels of Change by burning fabric holes into the design and drawing health-related words into the flowers. The Clubhouse is part of the Creative Centre Society, which provides habilitation and recovery based programs in Chilliwack to support people who live with persistent and severe mental illness. “Sylvie’s piece exemplifies what public art should do: provides beautification, but with a specific purpose, in this case raising awareness about mental health,” said Coun. Sam Waddington, the city councillor who chairs the Public Art Advisory Committee. It’s the second public art project in town since the committee was struck last year to oversee the metal art installation in front of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, for CADREB’s 50th anniversary. “Good public art should actually change
mental health issues. “For me it’s starting the conversation,” said artist Sylvie RousselJanssen. As she was installing the colourful flowers on the fence this week, several people walked up to her and wanted to talk about it. “There were an endless number of people eager to talk,” she said. The temporary installation was approved by city council, and sup-

News Local reps meet with National Energy Board to talk pipeline safety Jennifer Feinberg The Progress NEB chair Peter Watson made a Chilliwack pitstop recently on a national engagement tour to answer
probing questions about Kinder Morgan’s proposed TransMountain pipeline project. The head of the National Energy Board sat down with Fraser Valley Regional District
representatives, including FVRD chair Sharon Gaetz, on his extensive tour of communities all along the Kinder Morgan pipeline route. The goal was mapping out the unique role of the
NEB with regard to energy sector infrastructure, and to hear any issues and concerns. Watson, who started with the NEB last summer, was eager to engage stakeholders all along the
KM pipeline route. “One of the things I noticed was that our board could do a better job engaging with communities and local governments along the route where the pipeline infra-
structure is,” he said. The tour gave them that opportunity. “One of the things that was actually an eye opener was that the NEB is not just there in the initial phases of the project, to
show up and hold public hearings, but also we are right there for the whole life cycle of the project.” They follow it from “construction to abandonment,” which could be 40 years into the future. FVRD Sharon Gaetz said it was the first time anyone from the NEB ever reached out to the regional district. “It was a great meeting,” she commented. Watson made it clear that the NEB does “far more” than decide the fate of pipeline projects, and their job includes monitoring and ensuring compliance. It was surprising for Chair Gaetz to learn that the NEB has 450 employees, and are moving to Vancouver shortly to open a new office. “The biggest message we left with them was that three things were very important to FVRD,” she said. The first was emergency response plans, spill prevention, as well as mitigation and disaster planning. “Some don’t seem to understand the complexity of the problem in smaller communities where there may be only volunteer fire departments, and may not have the sophistication, equipment or spill resolution, although they’ll be the first boots on the ground in the case of a spill,” said Gaetz. The second concern of FVRD is air quality, and the third was biodiversity. City of Chilliwack is not an intervenor in the NEB hearings about the pipeline. “Since we are part of the regional district, we have a voice at the table,” she said. Watson said reps from every municipality and local government he’s visited with to date have been asking lots of good questions, and they had very similar concerns from coast to coast. “There are concerns about the project’s impacts on local waters or lands, and they want to know if anything goes wrong, there are effective plans in place.” Sometimes there was an information gap. “Mostly we had a good, frank exchange. We wanted them to know who we are and how to connect. We know they play a special role, as the first line of elected government in place.” The more they talk to people on the road, the more they realized the NEB has to do a better job of communicating. “We’re demystifying what we do.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

eliminated, others will be lost by attrition, and other positions will have reductions in hours. Potential savings outlined in the preliminary budget add up to just over $2.7 million, and include the $400,000 expected from bus fees, $150,000 expected from a reorganization of IT staff, $190,000 in teacher reductions as enrollment declines, $150,000 from copier leases, and $250,000 from the international program. Savings through lost positions include $75,000 for the district board office business manager, $75,000 for middle school business managers, $50,000 from one middle school accounting clerk, $75,000 from the finance analyst, $52,000 from a clerical position in the finance department, and $25,000 from a board office receptionist. Changes to the alternate program at C.H.A.N.C.E. will save $78,000, and a further $43,000 will be saved by reducing a ‘helping teacher’ position to a half position. After the board heard of the expected cuts to meet the new budget, they heard a report from Director of Instruction Kirk Savage. The board had asked staff to bring back information on costs of recording and web hosting for board meetings, urged on by Maahs at a previous meeting. The costs for initial set up and one year of hosting range from about $10,000 to $35,000, depending on the sophistication of the setup. But it seems the tightened belts across the board will keep that project on hold indefinitely. The board thanked Savage for the information, but took no action. The full budget will be presented for a first reading at the next board meeting, May 19.

Who controls elections?
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
The provincial government and the courts are doing their best to keep participation in elections under strict control. The two big political parties, the BC Liberals and NDP, are behind proposed legislation that would give political parties a complete list of everyone who voted in a provincial election. The information would not be made available to independent candidates or even incumbent MLAs like Delta independent Vicki Huntington. This is nothing more than an assault on privacy. In some ways, it is an attempt to use sophisticated technological means to go back to the era when people had to cast their votes in public. In those days, voters could lose their jobs, their homes and face assault and other criminal acts — simply because of the way they voted. Thankfully, Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver, Huntington and the privacy commissioner are standing against this. The effort to coerce Elections BC to hand over this private information to political parties must fail. Meanwhile, the B.C. Court of Appeal has backed provincial legislation which states that groups or individuals must register with Elections BC if they plan to say or distribute anything that might be considered election advertising during an election period. The court’s decision, by a 2-1 margin, goes against the recommendations of the chief electoral officer, who said in both 2010 and 2014 that there was no problem in not registering those who spend a small amount in placing advertising during an election. Elections are the one time when citizens have the power to bring politicians and political parties to heel. They should be freewheeling affairs — not a stage-managed series of photo-ops designed for the 6 p.m. television news, as increasingly happens on both the federal and provincial stages. The maximum penalty for not registering is a $10,000 fine and a year in jail. The law says it applies to “an advertising message that takes a position on an issue with which a registered political party or candidate is associated.” That could be virtually anything, and could apply to a hand-written sign in the back of someone’s pickup. This law is far too restrictive, and it needs to be repealed. ~ Black Press

Earthquake in Nepal offers warning at home It will take years for the people of Nepal to recover from last weekend’s devastating earthquake. The numbers are grim. With already 5,200 dead and more than 10,000 injured, casualties are bound to climb as search and rescue teams reach remote villages. Half a million tents are desperately needed to house the homeless and some 8 million people have been affected in 39 of the nation’s 75 districts, 11 of them badly. Nepal boasts eight of the ten highest mountains in the world and its spectacular scener y is unmatched. Yet as solid and everlasting as the Himalayas appear, they are still a work in progress. They are the result of the crumpling action of the Indian-Australian plate grinding northward and thrusting under the Eurasian plate at a rate of 5 cm a year. The massive pressures to uplift the Himalayas
make this region, according to the U.S. Geological Survey, one of the most seismically hazardous in the world. The epicenter of the M7.8 earthquake was in central Nepal 80 kilometres northwest of the capital Kathmandu. While the country is frequently shaken by quakes, the last time this parMargaret ticular fault rupEVANS tured was in 1344. Eighty years ago in 1934 an earthquake struck in another segment of the fault to the east of Kathmandu. Hardened climbers on Mount Everest were terrified when the roar of snow, rocks and debris in a massive avalanche triggered by the quake plundered through base camp at 5,380 metres, killing
17 people and injuring scores of others. Within a few days, Europe’s Sentinal-1a satellite got an overhead view of the aftermath. From orbit, this radar satellite can detect ground movement by comparing before and after imagery. The violent shaking of last Saturday’s earthquake was not only because of the magnitude but because the rupture was shallow, only 15 kilometres down. Scientists at the U.K.’s Nerc Centre for the Observation and Modelling of Earthquakes, Volcanoes and Tectonics, deciphered the satellite’s technical data and found that the earthquake was so strong that an area 120 kilometres by 50 kilometres around Kathmandu lifted up at least one metre. Overcoming this destruction will be a monumental challenge for Nepal, one of the poorest of Asia’s nations. Over 40 per

cent of its residents are unemployed. Reconstruction costs could exceed $10 billion, half the country’s GDP. And some structures can never be replaced such as the heritage monuments that crumbled to dust. A spokesperson with the Kathmandu Valley Preser vation Trust told The Wall Street Journal that close to half the temples in some of the city’s old neighbourhoods has been destroyed. The UNESCOrecognized historical nine-storey Dharahara Tower built by royal rulers as a watch tower in the 1800s and which became a beacon of Kathmandu’s architecture and history for 183 years lies in rubble. The UN and its partners are launching a $415 million emergency appeal to support government efforts to meet the people’s need for shelter, water, sanitation, emergency health, food and pro-
tection for the next three months. Some 70,000 homes have been destroyed and another 530,000 are damaged across 39 of Nepal’s districts. Not only is emergency shelter needed for over 500,000 people who are still being traumatized by aftershocks but emergency health services and safe drinking water are needed for some 4.2 million people UNICEF said on Wednesday that about 1.7 million children are in urgent need of aid in the worst-hit areas of the earthquake and they too have launched a $50 million campaign. The federal government is matching dollar for dollar all eligible donations to the Nepal Earthquake Relief Fund through aid organizations until May 25, retroactive from when donations first started following the earthquake on April 25.

Not all disabilities are visible This is in response to a letter dated April 22, Parking signs for a Reason. I very seldom feel the need to respond to such a letter. But I feel I must speak out. I was truly disgusted by Mr. Parent’s comment to certain handicapped people who do not have a visible reason to park in a handicapped stall. He stated that their parents did not instill good manners or consideration for others, and are most likely to pass this on to their children. Let me tell you, Mr. Parent, not
all handicaps are visible. Some are health related due to heart ailments, lung ailments chronic pain.. etc. You may not see the reason but it is there. Who are you to judge who has the right to use a handicapped decal? These decals are given by qualified doctors, not just some Joe Blow off the street. They are issued for valid reasons which are unknown to you, and should remain so. That is between a patient and their doctor. I am so tired of people who feel the need to question why people
have them! Just because they cannot see what is going on within the bodies of those that do. His statement of not having good manners or consideration for others should be directed at himself. He needs to take a take a good look in the mirror. Because he just insulted many good people who live by the values of do unto others, and try to get by in life with medical struggles and not having the need to be judged in such a cruel manner.

Equestrian riders should clean up Yesterday I again cycled with my grandson the well maintained Rotary Trail all the way to the Blue Heron reserve. However the trail was blemished by the indifference of the equestrians, not the ponies. There must have been at least three equestrians, riding at the western half
of the Rotary Trail, judging by the piles of pony horse buns. Now not to blame the ponies. The signage for the riders is very clear, placed at eye level for reading. The baggies for the droppings are amply supplied. Could I suggest that the team of equestrians would encourage
each other to do the clean up. We did not spot any litter left by the cyclers, strollers nor the numerous joggers. How about the equestrians showing respect not only for themselves but also for their ponies and appropriate gratefulness for this stellar Rotarian gift to the
Chilliwack community. I might also add that some invective by the grateful users of the Rotary Trail could be hurled at the equestrians not at the most undeserving ponies, they are doing what comes naturally.

Investing in children an investment in the future All this talk of families in media buzz about the recent federal budget made me wonder: Who are the people served by these so-called family and middle-class family policies: couples, parents, siblings, the elderly, or children? The implication is that these policies serve children, first and foremost. So, do they? Of course, child-centred policies are not only good for families, they are good for all of us. In 2012, the TD bank said that any investment in early childhood education would more than repay itself in added social and economic benefits to society through improved child and later adult development in skills and by making it easier for parents to work. Supporting all children, especially vulnerable children, to find a pathway to a productive and happy life is at the heart of a democratic society.... So, although children don’t vote, we all have a vested interest in how children, and specifically the children of Chilliwack-Hope, are served by politics and government. In the upcoming 2015 feder-
al election, we are given a clear choice how to support children through our votes. On the one hand, the federal NDP and Tom Mulcair have committed to a Canada-wide affordable, accessible, quality universal childcare program as is currently available in Quebec. The cost to parents would be capped at a maximum $15/day, saving working families an average of $700/ month in this region, according to research conducted by the Centre for Policy Alternatives. The program will be funded through a modest increase in corporate tax rates to approximate those in the US. On the other hand, the Harper Conservative budget offered a modest increase in the Universal Childcare Benefit to a maximum of $160/month. A second incomesplitting policy is designed to help upper middle class and rich families with only one parent working, 20 per cent of families with children, thereby benefiting the most wealthy and least likely to have vulnerable children. UBC’s Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP) assessed kin-
dergarten children across British Columbia for a decade between 2002 and 2012 to identify children vulnerable to development problems. Local findings include the following: • Chilliwack-Hope has a high rate of children assessed as vulnerable: 39 per cent in Chilliwack and 49 per cent in Hope, rates significantly higher than the provincial average of 32.5 per cent. • Most vulnerable children are in the middle class. • The overall vulnerability of children in Chilliwack increased over the period between 2002 and 2012 and in Hope remained high but unchanged. The federal NDP proposal for universal, accessible childcare seeks to give all children the possibility of an enriched early childhood environment and an equal opportunity for a prosperous and fulfilling life....

The Progress Parents are being invited into the school, and into the minds of teenagers, in a new series of informative sessions at Chilliwack secondary school. The first night drew in about 35 parents, eager to hear what the presenters had to say about parenting techniques, and the second promises to be just as interesting. The sessions are being planned by students at CSS who are in an independent study group, and the next one will focus on “understanding conflict and your parenting style.” Grade 12 student Naomi Wiebe said it’s a unique opportunity for parents to get inside the minds of their teenagers. “We’re going to be talking about how the mind of a teenager works, and parenting and styles and conflict resolution,” Wiebe says. The session is to be held at CSS, Monday, May 4, at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6:45 p.m. and the session is planned to run about two hours. One of the school’s guidance counsellors, Joe Ogmundson, will be presenting, and the upcoming session will build on the previous one. But Wiebe said parents who missed the first are welcome to join in, and they are eager to build up their audience numbers. “We’d like to have as many parents as possible,” she says. “We’ve sent out a ton of emails and flyers, and we hope to see some of the same faces again.” The sessions are free, and no registration is required.

To our Valued Customers, Sears Canada is proud to celebrate the 40th anniversary of our store in Chilliwack. Sears opened this store in October 1975 as part of an expansion of the Cottonwood Corner Shopping Centre.

Metro urges environmental review of Aevitas Jeff Nagel Black Press
FREE OIL CHANGE
A hazardous waste processing facility proposed to be built next to the Fraser River in Chilliwack should be subjected to a provincial environmental assessment, Metro Vancouver regional district directors say. The regional board is expected to pass that recommendation from its climate action committee after concerns were raised about the potential risk to downstream com-

munities in the event of a spill. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the Chilliwack location of the proposed Aevitas recycling plant within 200 metres of the Fraser presents serious risks that require a detailed environmental review. “My initial reaction was this is something people would have done in the 1950s,” Corrigan said. “Why would you do this there given all the other potential locations?” The plant would recycle metal, glass and mercury from light bulbs and remove PCBs from transform-

er oil for re-use but the prospect has stirred up fierce opposition in the Fraser Valley. The province is considering an environmental assessment but has first directed Aevitas to engage in more public consultation. Corrigan said he’s concerned more consultation will take the place of a full review. Chilliwack city council has agreed to the project in principle and rezoned the land, but a final approval decision rests with the environment ministry.

Clara Templeton, a Grade 9 student at Chilliwack middle, has helped write the curriculum for her school’s new carving program. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Student carves out new curriculum Jessica Peters The Progress By definition, curriculum very precisely dictates what students are to be taught. Page by page, line by line, the lessons within a course outline are carefully chosen for specific learning outcomes. And those lessons are written by educators, sometimes even large groups of educators. But there’s one course out there that’s been mostly written by someone without so much as a high school diploma. The Carving 8 course at Chilliwack middle school, and the subsequent Carving 9 course, have
been proficiently thought out, written, edited, organized, photocopied, collated and bound by Grade 9 student Clara Templeton. Templeton is just putting the finishing touches on the curriculum project that’s taken up her time over the last two terms. She and her teacher, Gerald Buchwitz, have presented their project to the school board, along with a handful of other star students within the program. The board was impressed, noting that Templeton may be the youngest person in Canada to write an entire course curriculum. Of course, she’s had guidance from her teacher, but the

heavy duty work was all carried out by Templeton. And it’s been so much work, that she’s had to temporarily set aside the very thing that led her to this massive project — carving. She tried out carving for the first time last year, as part of the Aboriginal Focus Applied Skills course at CMS. Where the mainstream applied skills are computers, foods, metalwork and woodwork, the aboriginal stream includes art design, carving and foods. Templeton jumped at the chance to be involved with the aboriginal program, to learn more about her own culture. And as soon as she started
carving, she was hooked on it. She’s created several pieces of artwork, some from designs found in books or online, and others from her very own designs. When building the curriculum, Templeton decided to bring in more of the basic First Nations shapes, such as the ovals (ovoids) that make up animals like the bear, the wolf and the raven. So, as students are learning first how to wield their carving tools, they’re also learning the building blocks of First Nation artwork. “Some people use carving for storytelling, but for me I just use it to take my mind off of other

things,” she says. The entire project is just about finished and when completed, she and Buchwitz will submit binders to the school board, for their review. Templeton won’t be graded, despite accomplishing a task beyond her years. And, she says, teaching isn’t something she’s considering. “I’m not really into academics,” she quips, admitting that the curriculum was a bit out of her comfort zone, but enjoyable all the same. “Because it was something I like, it wasn’t so bad,” she says. “My friends think I’m kinda nerdy but I think it was fun.” jpeters@theprogress.com

5 SIMPLE WAYS TO EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR VEHICLE

8832 Young Rd, Chilliwack 604-795-9108 www.carstar.ca
The toll cold starts take on a vehicle can add up over time. When a car is started, condensation builds up in the vehicle’s exhaust system. On longer trips, that condensation will gradually evaporate. However, on short trips, that condensation often does not have enough time to evaporate, and over time too many short trips will lead to an accumulation of water in the muffler that can lead to rust and rust holes on the muffler. Short trips also can negatively affect gas mileage. When possible, leave your car at home on trips into town when you can just as easily walk or ride a bicycle. Over time, reducing the amount of short trips you take in your car will greatly reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and improve your fuel efficiency as well. 5-15F WC1
STICK TO THE MANUFACTURER’S RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
Adhering to your vehicle’s maintenance schedule serves many purposes, including improving the its durability and protecting various components, including its cooling system and drivetrain. While many manufacturers used to recommend changing a vehicle’s oil every 5,000 kms or every 4 months, many of today’s newer automobiles need their oil changed less frequently.

Brake pads that are allowed to wear down can cause damage to the brakes’ rotors and callipers. That damage can prove costly and make things harder on your vehicle. Keep an eye on your vehicle’s brake pads, which are far less expensive to replace than rotors and callipers, and do not allow them to wear down to metal.
KEEP YOUR TIRES PROPERLY INFLATED
Tires that are under-inflated will negatively impact your vehicle’s ehicle’s fuel efficiency. In addition, the tires’ life expectancy is reduced considerably siderably when tires are not properly inflated. Routinely check yourr tire pressure, especially if you drive a lot, and keep tires inflated at the pressure recommended in your vehicle’s owner’s manual.
BE MINDFUL WHEN FILLING UP YOUR TANK
The worst time to fill your tank is when the fuel tanker is in the gas station refilling the underground tanks. That’s because the process of filling the underground tanks can stir up sediment that had settled at the bottom of those tanks. If that sediment finds its way into your vehicle’s gas tank, it can clog filters and fuel injectors and negatively affect the vehicle’s performance. So unless your car is running on empty,, avoid refilling its gas tank when the tanker is still in the station. n.

TOPICS TO DISCUSS BEFORE HIRING YOUR NEXT MECHANIC
YOUR WINDSHIELD replacement specialists
ICBC glass express | private claims | rock, chip repairs Few decisions weigh as heavily on automobile owners as their choice of mechanic. A good mechanic goes a long way toward ensuring drivers and their passengers stay safe on the road and that those drivers’ vehicles perform at their peak for years to come. That’s an important role to play, and it’s why many drivers acknowledge that choosing a mechanic is a decision that should not be taken lightly.

Rest assured you don’t need to be a car guy or gal to find a trustworthy and talented mechanic. You might just need to open a dialogue with a prospective mechanic, discussing a handful of topics that can help you feel more comfortable and know you have made the right choice in automotive service provider once a final decision has been made.
CERTIFICATION
& TO U A
Certification can go a long way toward helping drivers find mechanics they can trust. A certified technician should have his or her credentials readily available to prospective customers, and these credentials list each professional’s area of certification. When shopping for a new mechanic, make sure that he or she is British Columbia certified. In addition, discuss with the mechanic his or her work history, including any additional areas of expertise.
FLEET RE PA IR
PRICING POLICIES Many mechanics offer free estimates, but that should not be taken for granted. When bringing a car in for an estimate, drivers should confirm with the mechanic who will conduct the examination if the estimate is free or if they will be charged an inspection fee. In addition to any fees regarding estimates, drivers should also inquire about labor costs and the payment policies at the facility. Labor can be quite expensive, so it’s best that you know these rates in advance of any repairs being conducted on your vehicle. It’s also important to get a rundown of the company payment policies, especially if your vehicle is in need of potentially costly repairs. You don’t want the bill to shock you once the work has been completed, so don’t hesitate to be inquisitive before leaving a car at the garage.
The preowned vehicle market is thriving, and drivers who take care of their vehicles have earned the right to reap their rewards for being good owners when it comes time to sell the car. When interviewing prospective mechanics, ask if they are willing to provide detailed documentation of any work they do on your vehicle. Such documentation can then be shared with prospective buyers when you want to sell the car, and it also serves as a way to keep the garage accountable for all the work they have done on the car throughout your relationship.

Replacing parts on a vehicle is a cause for concern for many drivers, and rightfully so. Consumer advocacy groups have exposed many mechanics who pass off used auto parts as new parts, charging their customers new part prices along the way. While there’s no way drivers can guarantee they won’t fall victim to such criminal behaviour, they can inquire about company policies regarding vehicle parts. Does the garage even install used parts? If so, do they let drivers choose either new or used parts before any work is done? If the garage only uses new parts, ask for parts with solid warranties, so if the part must be replaced, you won’t have to pay for it again.

Students hope to raise mental health awareness Students at Sardis secondary school are planning a Child and Youth Mental
Health Day, to raise awareness in the school and community. Everyone is invited to attend, says organizer Zophia Lundstrom. The
event runs for an hour, and begins at 6:30 p.m. on May 7, at Sardis secondary. There will be information tables, tea and snacks, and special presenters through-
children. The national awareness day seeks to help create public awareness and acknowledgement of the thousands of children, youth and families needing mental health support and care across Canada. In Chilliwack, a special fundraising dinner is being held at Vita Bella Bistro, May 6. All the proceeds will go to the Chilliwack Supportive Housing Society, an organization that provides affordable housing in our community for adults with chronic mental illness. The dinner starts at 5:30 p.m., call 604846-5001 for tickets, or email: info@vitabellabistro.com for more information. As well, from now until May 10, Chilliwack Mental Health Advisory will have a table set up inside VanCity, providing information about the Chilliwack
Rodgers & Hammerstein:
Supportive Housing Society and Mental Health. There is also a Green Ribbon program that aims to reduce the stigma of mental health. Green ribbons were assembled by people in the Chilliwack Society for Community Living Employment Services

Marking Mental Health Week Maintaining mental health is similar to staying fit, in that it requires a bit of effort every day. Over the next two weeks, Chilliwack Healthier Community is inviting the public to take part in myriad mental health events. They are each planned as a way to highlight different aspects of mental health, while promoting Mental Health Week (May 4-10) and Child and Youth Mental Health Day (May 7). There is a pressing need to improve our ability to promote mental health, prevent mental health challenges and effectively treat mental disorders in children and youth in Canada, CHC says. Many families are in crisis. They have to navigate the complex and disjointed array of local, provincial and national organizations, programs and services to get help for their

Sharon Adrian makes a pillow case during a group sewing gettogether at Countryfolk Fabrics on Saturday. About 15 people gathered that day to make 32 pillow cases to donate to BC Children’s Hospital. The project was started six years ago by Debra Palmer whose granddaughter was born with a heart condition and admitted to Children’s. Palmer noticed there was very little colour in the hospital and decided to make bright-coloured pillow cases for the patients. Over the years, about 1,000 pillow cases have been donated to the hospital, and about 600 of them have been made by Palmer. Her granddaughter, now seven years old, has even made four herself. Those wishing to donate handsewn, standard-size pillows cases for kids at BC Children’s can drop them off at Countryfolk Fabrics at 5-45802 Luckakuck Way.

Phil Weston takes his talents to Richmond, joining the Kwantlen Eagles. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Kwantlen commitment for Grizzly grad The Progress Graduating GW Graham basketball star Phil Weston will fly with the Eagles next season. The big forward has committed to Kwantlen Polytechnic University, joining the PACWest ranks. “It was a big relief (getting it done),” Weston said. “Knowing that you get to keep playing the sport you love, and being offered a scholarship to attend University. Can’t ask for much better.” The teenager said there were three schools showing interest. He’ll face one of them, the Columbia Bible College Bearcats, in PACWest action next season. The second option would have required a drastic relocation. The Briercrest Clippers, based in

ing 15 points and 15.5 rebounds in his senior year,” the coach noted. “He has worked hard to develop his outside game, he is a monster on the boards and runs the floor like a guard. And his ability to defend smaller quicker players makes him a special player on defense.” All of that is true. But Weston knows the leap from high school to college won’t be easy. “It’s probably going to be a little rough, as any first year University athlete would expect, but I’m excited to take on the challenge,” he said. “It will be a transition from being a starter to potentially spending some time on the bench for most of my first year, but in that time I can learn and improve by watching and then playing at the skill level they need me to compete at.”
lineup to a 2-19 record in 2014-15. That left the Eagles seventh in the PACWest standings, but Nikic believes the addition of Weston will be part of a turnaround. “We strongly believe Phil is one of the best forwards coming out of the 2015 grad class and he will immediately make a tremendous impact on development of KPU basketball program,” Nikic said. “Phil’s rebounding and soft touch around basket will make our team significantly stronger. He is also the best fit for our high-tempo offense as he can play in the post and on the perimeter.” Weston’s coach at GW Graham, Jake Mouritzen, believes he’s ready. “Over the past season Phil has developed into one of the best post-men Graham has ever had, averag-
Caronport, SK., have welcomed graduating Grizzlies in the past (Lucas Mannes and Josiah Cockrill) and had their hat in this ring. “Each school seemed to be watching me at provincials, and not long after provincials ended they got in contact with me,” Weston explained. A trip to Kwantlen’s ID camp was the difference. “It was strange walking into a gym where there is talent in every player, so of course I was nervous at first,” Weston recalled. “Near the end of the practice coach Vladi (Kwantlen head coach Vladimir Nikic) pulled me aside and said, ‘You sold me after the second drill. You are a great player, and I want to sign you right now.’” Nikic took over as KPU head coach prior to last season and guided a rookie-laden

Club fitting is here to stay! It is a technology that provides a great service to all golfers of all levels, giving them the opportunity to understand and connect with their game on a new level. We are all aware that a large part of the game is about confidence. Understanding how your golf equipment functions for you and yyour our swing is where some of this confidence will come from. Working with a certified club fitter to determine exactly what you should have in your golf bag, and understanding why it belongs in yyour our golf bag, just makes common sense. As a certified club fitter and coach, I can not tell you how many times I hear, ‘This is my favourite club’ or ‘Oh, I can’t hit that one.’ Sound familiar? Comments such as these seem to flow from our mouths about our golf equipment regularly and there is a reason for this. The components of your favourite club will include the type of shaft, shaft length, flex and torque for your swing speed. The head will have the correct loft, and the grip the correct size, for your hand ,just to name a few examples. When club fitting, measuring variables such as angle of approach, spin, ball speed and launch angle is paramount for determining what equipment a golfer should be playing. And every golfer from Jordan Speith of the PGA Tour to his brother, little sister or mother has

the same determinants in their golff swing too. Golf is a challenging sometimes heart wrenching game. Why make it tougher by not tending to your ‘tool box’ and at the veryy least eliminating equipment thatt simply does not work for you? Club fitting begins with a fitter’s ability to quickly assess and understand a golfers performance needs, blending these needs with theirr overall individual physical abilities and personal golf goals. Every golfer regardless of age, ability or handicap will benefit from club fitting. Tapping into this technology and service, regardless of the brands you choose to play with will benefitt you and your game! Would we buy an expensive dress or suit without getting it tailored to fit us perfectly before we wear it? Next, the fitter gathers a baseline of essential data from your currentt golf equipment. The certified fitter then reviews this data and determines whatt equipment components your golff swing will benefit from, and more importantly, why. Finally, the process of testing a variety of more appropriate equipment options begins until the rightt combination of swing data (the science) and the golfers’ feel, combined with playable ball flight, is attained. So next time you look at your golff equipment ask yourself, ‘Do I really y know what clubs I am playing? Am I 100 per cent confident that they are helpful for my swing?’ Kathy Stecyk is a PGA of BC C Class A and LPGA Class A Golff Professional.

Anderson Dorothy, Fanny
November 4, 1927 April 24, 2015. It is with love and wonderful memories that we announce the death of our Mother, Dorothy Fanny Anderson (nee Wilson), age 87, who passed away on April 24, 2015 in Chilliwack after a long illness. Dorothy is survived by her loving children Bob (Cheryl) and Barbara (David) and was predeceased by her husband Albert, brother Larry (“Manny”) Wilson, and parents Alec Wilson and Sarah Wilson (nee Brodie). Dorothy was born and grew up in Vancouver where she developed a love for the “salt chuck” (as she used to call it). Later, she met Andy, was married in 1952, and moved to Chilliwack in 1954. There she enjoyed being a stay-at-home mother to Bob and Barb. She worked later as Executive Assistant at the School Board and Fraser Health. She was a keen curler, crossword puzzle champion and active in Kinettes. She was always an “animal person,” and enjoyed the antics of her succession of dogs Patsy, Penny, Fred, Fiona, Trixie and Paddy as well as the personalities of her cats Charles (“the swine cat”) and Chloe. We treasured her as a mother as she supported us in all our endeavors, achievements, and misadventures and imbued in us the qualities of integrity, hard work, achievement, love of books, animals, and language. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Humane Society. www.hendersonsfunerals.com Henderson’s Funeral Home in care of arrangements, 604-792-1344
