Browne Creek Wetlands bolster park system There were more than birds singing the praise of the new Browne Creek Wetlands on Thursday. While robins and redwinged black birds voiced their approval, hundreds of school children from nearby Yarrow elementary giggled and squealed as they toured the trails that make up this newest addition to Chilliwack’s trail network. That delight was shared by the many partners and volunteers who took part in the official opening. Led by the Rotary Club of Chilliwack, that group includes the City of Chilliwack, the Fraser Valley Watersheds Coalition, the federal government and the Salmonid Enhancement Program. Those partnerships have

allowed organizers to build a park that is more than a nice place to walk, said Victor Froese, cochair of the Rotary committee that spearheaded the club’s involvement. It has helped reclaim part of the Vedder River floodplain and return it to a productive salmon and wildlife producing habitat. More than three years in the making, the area includes offchannel wetlands, native plant species and improved water flow. What looks natural has function, Froese said. The logs that traverse small creeks, for example, not only provide shelter for growing salmon, they slow bears who chase the fish up stream. Boulders placed in the creek bed ease the water’s flow.

The trail system, which includes the Kingfisher Trail, the Vedder River South Trail and Beaver Loop Trail, will soon be complemented by a series of interpretive signs. Education is a key part of the trail, added Mike McAstocker, cochair of the Rotary committee that contributed nearly $19,000 toward the project. Yarrow elementary will be incorporating salmon habitat management in its curriculum, said the former teacher. And Grade 4 students who release young fish into the waters in spring, will look forward to welcoming them back when they are in Grade 8. The Browne Creek Wetlands is the latest addition to the trail network along the Vedder River. In addition to the main Rotary

Vedder Trail (which draws an estimated 18,000 visitors each month), the Peach Creek Rotary trail was added in 2013. But McAstocker said the work is not over yet. The dream is to link the trail system on the north side of the Vedder with the trails on the south, eventually forming a complete loop. That dream might not be that far off. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz told the Yarrow students assembled for the opening that the city hopes to one day build a bridge near the existing BC Rail crossing just downstream. The Browne Creek Wetlands can be accessed via Browne Road, off Vedder Mountain Road; or via Bergman Road, off Lumsden.

Rona is set to take over the former Target store location in Cottonwood Mall. The existing Rona will be pulling up stakes, including its outdoor lumber yard, and relocating next year to the south side of Chilliwack. “We’re very happy to be moving into a new location,” Rona executive vice-president Luc Rodier told The Progress in a phone interview Wednesday. The smaller Rona store, while in a prime location on Yale Road near Airport Road, had some challenges, such as “water management” issues. “We’d been looking to revamp the Chilliwack location for quite a while.” That’s why the home improvement retailer started looking at its options. “To better serve the community, we needed a bigger store,” he said. The most efficient way to do that, they decided was to relocate. There is still some paper work left, but by the end of May, everything should be finalized, Rodier confirmed. As soon as they can, they’ll start work at the new site, while keeping the old store open. “When the Target site became available, we thought it was a very solid option with a good location,” Rodier said. The lease at the current site comes up for renewal at the end of 2016. “So we just won’t renew,” he added. The current Rona employs a staff of 41. A much larger store means even more staff can be hired, and a bigger assortment of retail items will be offered to customers. “So it’s good news for the whole region,” he added. The new sprawling site at the mall measures about 90,000 square feet, compared to the indoor space at the current site which is under 10,000 square feet. They’ve been making do with the two-acre outdoor lumber yard as “an extension” of the limited indoor retail space, along with a 12,000 square foot warehouse and another 5,000 of covered yard space.

Students gain better access for health issues Jessica Peters The Progress Help is now just down the hall for students at Chilliwack secondary school, offering easier access to health care for one of the community’s most vulnerable populations. The Chilliwack Youth Health Centre opened its doors during this school year, offering counseling services every Tuesday (1 p.m. to 7 p.m.) for anyone aged 12 to 26. And now in Sardis, medical services are being offered to the same clientele at a new youthbased clinic within the Sto:lo Nation Health Centre. That clinic is also open Tuesdays, currently from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. The idea is to provide “low barrier access,” meaning that patients don’t need to make an appointment, don’t have to pay a fee, and

don’t need a referral from another doctor or clinic, said Dr. Melanie Madill. The two centres have “the potential to improve lives at an age and stage that will impact decades of health because everyone involved is so engaged and supportive,” said Dr. Madill. The Chilliwack Youth Health Care centre is located strategically within the Neighbourhood Learning Centre, which is under the same roof as Chilliwack secondary school. That removes one of the main barriers teens face when needing medical care — not knowing where to turn. While it may be mom or dad who rushes a kid to the ER with things like broken bones, there are times when they don’t necessarily want a parent involved, or don’t have a parent to lean on.

The need for more youth-based services was made obvious by a B.C.-based study published earlier this year. The McCreary Centre Society designed and implemented the study, then compiled the anonymous and voluntarily-supplied answers to some key questions. The questionnaire was given to students in high schools across B.C., and asked about home life, school life, and all aspects of health. Their answers show a growing mental health crisis for youth, even when taking into account the self-reporting nature of the study. It found that 20 per cent of female youth in the eastern Fraser Valley considered suicide in the past year, three per cent higher than the provincial average. Eleven per cent of female youth and four per cent of male youth attempted suicide, while 27 per cent all youth that

answered the questions reported that a close friend had attempted suicide. Self harm is also an issue, with eight per cent of males and a quarter of females who responded to the survey reporting that they cut or injured themselves, without intending to kill themselves. Those numbers are similar in regions across B.C. Of those who answered the survey, 19 per cent of females in Fraser East reported they did not get the mental health care they felt they needed. But those numbers could shift in years to come, if this emerging style of medical care manages to take hold. At the Chilliwack Youth Health Centre, teens and young adults can find help for all mental health issues, including those related to anxiety, depression, stress, substance abuse, gender

Evans elementary open for playtime Jessica Peters The Progress Mayah Abelman is “over the top excited” about the new all-inclusive playground at her school. The Grade 5 student sped around in her wheelchair chatting with friends, teachers and EAs at the school’s grand opening celebration of the playground Thursday afternoon. Abelman is one of about 15 students at the school who have varying abilities or special sensory needs that make enjoying a traditional playground difficult. For her, the new rubber tile ground cover makes scooting around the playground a breeze. The play structures are spaced far apart, giving ample room for navigating classmates during a busy recess or lunch hour. It’s a nice break from bumping over uneven grass and shifty sawdust, she said, where she’s more likely to get stuck. And then there’s the playground. The swing is a large saucer, big and sturdy enough to lay down and stretch out in the sun or fly into the air. The old-fashioned, hand-spun carousel has been redesigned as a spinner. With child-friendly back rests and low-to-the-ground entry points, it looks more like a spinning pizza shell. Finally, right in the centre of the park, there’s an open air hideaway for children to take a break from the action. The playground has taken almost two years to build, with a massive fundraising effort carried out by a team of nine parents on a special committee. Katrina Eng spoke on their

behalf at the celebration, thanking the community and corporate sponsors for believing in the project. In total, the playground cost $103,000, with a third of the cost going toward the special ground cover. The accessibility is going to make a difference in the school, Eng said, but also for the community in general. Just around the corner is the Chilliwack Society for Community Living’s Mathieson Centre, and kids from

that program use the playground as well. “That’s a big part of why we brought this here,” Eng said. Their efforts began in September 2013, and included entering in an online Avitas contest. They won $5,000 through votes from the community. They garnered support quickly and earned grants, fundraised with parent nights, and even entered a float into the Chilliwack Christmas Parade. They had raised enough

money to begin building earlier this March, completely replacing an older wooden structure, and adding to some previously purchased playground pieces. There are now plenty of play areas to go around, and the students erupted in cheers on Thursday as the ribbon was cut. “This is amazing,” Abelman said, waiting her turn on the giant swing. “I love everything here.” jpeters@theprogress.com @CHWKcommunity

issues, family conflict, peer conflict and school and life planning. And at the Medical Health office of CYHC at Sto:lo Nation Health Centre, community doctors will provide all aspects of medical, physical, and sexual health needs. They are even prepared to offer mental health and addictions support when needed. Dr. Madill said the McCreary Centre Study findings were just one of many happenings that led to this innovative approach to youth health care. It’s been a few years in the making, she explained. “A few years ago Elizabeth Watt, who is a GP in Abbotsford was working looking after women in the prisons and asked herself what could be done to improve the health of young women earlier to prevent the progression to prison or worse,” Madill said.

Suspects sought in two separate robberies Chilliwack RCMP are hunting for a man who robbed a local restaurant Tuesday night. Just before six p.m. the suspect entered the business in the 46200 block of Yale Road. With his face covered, he reached over a countertop, grabbed money and some food, darted outside and ran away. By the time police arrived and searched the area, he had disappeared. The suspect is described as Caucasian, wearing light grey pants, a grey vest and jacket with black sleeves. He was also carrying a brown satchel bag. “We are also looking at whether this latest robbery may be connected to any others,” said RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail. RCMP in Hope, meanwhile, are looking for a man who robbed a business in the 200 block of Wallace Street Monday night. Just before 9:30 p.m. the suspect entered the business, approached an employee with a weapon and demanded money. He ran away with cash and stolen merchandise. Police searched the area but didn’t find him. The suspect’s described as aboriginal, approximately 25-30 years old with a tattoo on the right side of his neck. He was wearing black and white running shoes, long jean shorts, a blue windbreaker jacket with white shoulders and a grey New York Giants baseball hat. “We are following all investigational leads to apprehend the person responsible for this robbery.” said RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail. Anyone with info is asked to contact Hope RCMP at 604-869-7750 or Crime Stoppers (anonymously) at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

News Rona taking over vacant Target site RONA from Front “So the entire store, including the hardware portion and the lumber, will be under one roof,” he said. “It will be way more convenient for customers.” Rona won its bid to take over the former Target through an auction process, and expect to open the new store in early 2016. The news about the Chilliwack Rona was announced in a nation-wide teleconference this week to share first quarter financial results for 2015. The Chilliwack location was in fact the only successful bid of six in total that they were vying for to take over former

Target sites. “It is the only bid that we have won, but that does not mean it’s the only one we’ll get,” said Rodier. The Quebec-based Rona has 513 locations across Canada. Rona saw higher sales posted in the typically slower first quarter of 2015, with increased revenue of 1.9

per cent over last year for a total of $778.8 million. Asked if they have any other retail sites with shopping mall access, the answer was affirmative. “Yes, across the country we have several locations attached to a mall.

We just need to be located at one extreme end of the mall, or the other,” Rodier replied. “We don’t mind mall access.” There are another 50 sites still on the table, and Rona reps are still looking. Lowe’s and Canadian Tire have also been picking up former Target stores. “But we’re being very selective in this process, and we want to be successful if we’re to transfer into a new market. “If the local economy looks feasible, we’ll take a closer look,” said Rodier.

Partnerships bring better access for students inconvenience of office hours by appointment, difficulty in knowing how,” Madill said. Major partners involved with youth all gathered together to make the centres happen, including the school district, Ministry of Children and Families, Aboriginal Child and Youth Mental health, Chilliwack addiction programs, Chilliwack Community Services, and many more. Also at the same time, Madill was co-facilitating an education program for family doctors on child and youth mental health. That program brings school counsellors, addiction counsellors, child and youth mental health counsellors, family doctors, pediatricians, MOAs and the child psychiatrist together to talk about how to assess and treat mild to moderate mental health conditions, and promotes universal screening at every child visit for best impact. “That’s why the timing has been so perfect,” she said. UFV and Trinity Western students studying for their masters in Social Work were paired with clinical supervisors for the centre in Chilliwack. Being in a school fits the man-

“She was working with an enthusiastic dynamo of a clinical assistant named Krista Kenessy who took it upon herself to expand upon the original drop-in youth clinic, with one GP and one MOA, to lobby for after school snacks, organize donations of lightly used clothing and furniture and regular shopping days where these are placed on racks by size so youth can shop with dignity while setting up independence. They now have three sites with wrap around services. So they were our inspiration. And of course they did not limit their vision to only women.” Chilliwack’s Dr. Rob Lees was this community’s “first champion,” Madill said, bringing Watt to Chilliwack to explore the idea of a youth health centre. At the same time, an initiative called A GP for Me had polled the community and found that youth were the second highest group of “unattached” patients — meaning they don’t have a family doctor. “The MCreary Centre Study has underscored that and also elucidated some of the reasons: need for confidentiality from parents,

date perfectly, but being at Sto:lo was also an easy choice for the planning group. “Sto:lo has always had a leadership role in offering services such as immunization clinics and postpartum depression groups to both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal patients and they graciously agreed to offer their Health Unit to support this venture,” she said. “They are supplying the site, the supplies and in partnership with Fraser Health the office support.” There are six family doctors and one pediatrician giving their Tuesday afternoons up for that centre, which also has snacks, books and videos, as well as youth on hand to greet patients. “Chilliwack is the best possible community to begin a venture like this as there is so much good will and desire to help,” Madill said. “This makes it a true pleasure as the potential road blocks literally dissolve as we approach them by genuine people with genuine desire to do something that matters and something that will help.” For more information, phone 604-819-4603 or email chilliwackyouthhealthcentre@gmail.com.

Poll gives NDP lead in B.C. as federal election nears Liberals got two seats with 13.4 per cent and the Greens got 7.5 per cent, electing leader Elizabeth May.) Insights West vice-president Mario Canseco said federal Liberals have rebounded in B.C. under leader Justin Trudeau, but added it may not be enough for them to be competitive in more than a couple of ridings. “The seat calculation makes this a lot tougher for the Liberals,” he said. “You may be a closer third-place finisher than in the last election, but you’re still a third-place finisher.” The poll found NDP leader Thomas Mulcair has the strongest approval score, ahead of Trudeau and May.

Whether or not the New Democrats can stabilize that mismanaged ship is yet to be seen. The reaction from the ‘right’ following Rachel Notley’s convincing win was predictable; the sky is falling. Meanwhile, the ‘left’ are thrilled. It’s the process to achieve the result that should give Canadians pause for thought, and a reason to be thankful for the society in which we live. What happened in Alberta on Tuesday was, anecdotally, a civil upheaval - a coup d’état, but in a completely civilized manner. In many countries, such a drastic change of government would come at a heavy cost. Lives would be lost. Millions of lives have been lost in countries around the world in efforts to overthrow long-reigning governments. And yet, in our neighbouring province, the wounds were limited to the egos of those who thought change could never happen in that oil-rich, right-wing driven economy. The democratic process is alive and well. Certainly, there were not nearly enough people getting to the polls. Although voter turnout was the highest in 22 years, 57 per cent is nothing to brag about when deciding the future of a province - higher than B.C.’s 52 per cent in 2013, but a far cry from respectable. The talking heads are still analyzing the results. Some say the arrogance of 44 years of power got to the Conservative supporters - that many of them thought there was no way another party in Alberta could ever garner enough support. On the other side, the “Notley Crew” is basking in the afterglow of a well-run campaign, feeding off the anger of the average Albertan. The lies, deception and ridiculous government spending had gone on long enough for the majority of those who took the time to vote and now the change they demanded is real. Will it prove to be a good move for Alberta? Only time will tell. Undoubtedly, B.C.’s NDP leader John Horgan has already not only congratulated Notley on her victory, but also asked for her campaign notes. ~ Black Press

Tremors from NDP win in Alberta still being felt Last week’s stunning NDP victory in Alberta was a sea change. During the 1970s when we lived in Calgary, the idea that the province would ever be anything but a hue of blue was laughable. But in the shadows of the Legislature sat one lone guy, NDP MLA Grant Notley, who likely had no idea that a child of his would one day carry the orange torch to victory. For over four decades, Notley’s dream remained elusive. Until last week. Notley’s party didn’t just win the election. They destroyed the Progressive Conservative Party. It was whittled down to a paltry 10 seats from the dominant 61 seats they won in the 2012 ele ction. Last week, the NDP soared to majority with 53 seats from just four seats in 2012. Notley’s oldest daughter Rachel was elected as the

Alberta New Democrats’ leader in October 2014. She had already distinguished herself as an MLA for Edmonton-Strathcona and was re-elected in the 2012 provincial election with the highest share of the vote of any MLA in the province. Quite frankly, you don’t have to Margaret be NDP to like Rachel Notley. EVANS There’s genuine warmth in this lady who has a grace and style rarely seen in politics today. Social justice defined her career as she worked with labour unions in Alberta and, in B.C., as an adviser to then-attorney general Ujjal Dosanjh. But whether she was elect-

ed not because she’s NDP but because everyone was mad at the other guys is hard to tell. For sure, there was a mind-shift. Many folks waking up the next morning were still smiling. They knew that the NDP had done a lot of political swimming since their previous high water mark at 16 seats in 1986. The oil patch though didn’t seem to be up to speed on that little fact. They had some nervous-nelly moments the next day prompting Notley to do a round of reassuring phone calls. But it’s not going to be business as usual. The bitumen buffs likely figured, OK, Jim Prentice made blunders (which he did). He could be dispensed with so long as the old guard remained (which it didn’t). But it was a wake-up call like no other to realize that the regime was severely injured.

Maybe some of those heady plans for oil pipelines in all directions will go into hibernation. Notley is apparently not supportive of the Northern Gateway project on environmental grounds, a fact Christy Clark should value in standing her eco-ground with Enbridge. The conservatives across the country, like everyone else, were stunned with the NDP victory. Now, with the federal election looming, the national NDP is going to ride that coattail along with all the provincial equivalents. Can’t blame them. Even folks in the U.S. tuned into the Alberta election. The Wall Street Journal ran a piece on the socialist party win saying that some pretty headstrong winds will be blowing into the oil industry that’s already struggling with slumping oil prices.

The NDP probably knew better than most PC-ites that Albertans aren’t just cattle ranchers and oil tycoons anymore. They are a composite of many newcomers who have no DNA memories of the National Energy Program, Premier Lougheed cr ying foul and threatening to cut oil production, and the harsh tones of Trudeau the First. They can think on their feet, toss out what ticks them off, and go with something new. PM Harper, diplomatically congratulator y, must be inwardly reeling. He’s got some re-thinking to do. A long-time climate change denier, he’s staring down at a premier who is reported to ride a bike to work in the heartland of everything he has held most dear. Fascinating.

GORD-RAY’S The Chilliwack

Progress

Time to lower the voting age same time they take on greater responsibilities over other aspects of their lives. Unfortunately, this logic fails, which is amply demonstrated by the fact that 75 per cent of eligible young adults do not bother to vote. It appears to be a case of too-many bricks thrown at once – with all the extra responsibilities young people face as they leave high school, it is easy to tune out politics and ignore the election campaign. I think we should engage young people in the process at a younger age. Formal civic education should be brought into the classroom and made the primary means for students to acquire knowledge and skills to participate in democracies in an informed and engaged fashion. We should ensure that students understand the basic principles of government, possessing civic literacy and an awareness of our civic responsibilities. We should ensure that students have a familiarity with the prevailing social values and norms and the sometime paradoxical relationship these have with our fundamental rights. Not only will civic education raise knowledge of voting and the political process, it will also foster values and attitudes that encourage political participation while increasing the motivation of young people to vote. The federal government is limited somewhat in that it cannot mandate educational policy or set the provincial age for voting, but it can set the tone by changing the age requirement for the federal vote, and facilitate a meet-

ing of the provincial Education ministers. Individuals like Mary Mackinnon, Sonia Pitre, and Judy Watling suggest that a national civics education policy be developed and coordinated by the Council of Education Ministers, and that it be included in the Literacy Action Plan, which calls on all provinces and territories to increase literacy levels. Even if federal jurisdiction is too far a stretch, we can at least push to educate our youth provincially, and grant B.C. youth the vote. Granting of that wish would not only change the pessimistic attitude to which politics is already viewed, it will also help determine which voices are being heard by the politicians, giving a voice to the next generation. In the last election, when the local candidates were invited to debate at CSS, every candidate agreed to come, but one was a no show. That candidate did not feel it necessary to even call to cancel or to apologize for not coming out. Clearly, the candidate was not concerned with insulting the youth of Chilliwack, and why should he have been? Since students cannot vote and have no voice, they could not punish him for his evasiveness, and he easily won the election. As long as students lack the vote, this government will not take them seriously, and that will only increase the sense of disempowerment and apathy among the youth – feelings that will carry over into our adult lives.

tal policy. Even though their own environment critic, Nathan Cullen, spent most of last fall travelling the coastal communities of the Pacific coast of B.C., their party leader, Thomas Mulcair, won’t say no to the expansion of the Kinder Morgan pipeline, and the exporting of raw bitumen across the Pacific Ocean to Asian markets. While Green candidate, Lynne Quarmby, was leading the charge against the expansion of bitumen exports and

the tripling of oil tankers plying the B.C. coast, the NDP was supporting Steven Harper, along with Justin Trudeau on the support of this subsidized atrocity of giving away our energy and gambling that these mega tankers wouldn’t permanently destroy the ecosystem of the B.C. coast.  Even though, the future Green MP, put herself on the line, and got arrested along with many of our great First Nations, as well as many other true environmen-

talists, the only NDP to take a stand on this insanity, was Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan. How the NDP’s convoluted environmental policy equates to child welfare and social agenda, just shows that the NDP hasn’t learned anything from its mistakes, of creating policy based on consensus, rather than conscience and pragmatism.

Being an election year, I am looking forward to learning the results, and am hoping someone might voice my opinion in the booth since I will be unable to voice that opinion myself. You see, I am still 16 – old enough to pay taxes on my income, and old enough (historically) to serve in Canada’s armed forces – and I am wondering why youth haven’t yet been given the right to vote. During the 1760s, American colonists were unsatisfied with the fact the people living in England were making decisions relating taxes for the colonies without political representation. Currently, the same state of affairs is existing; youth are paying taxes without representation. To this we call out, “No Taxation without Representation.â€? In Canada prisoners have the right to vote. Supreme Court concluded that denying penitentiary inmates the right to vote imposes negative costs on inmates and on the penal system. To deny this right is to lose an important means of teaching them democratic values and social responsibility. The government’s novel political theory that would permit elected representatives to disenfranchise a segment of the population finds no place in a democracy built upon principals of inclusiveness, equality, and citizen participation. Many believe the current voting age is adequate in that it enfranchises those who have probably completed high school and joined the work force. It would prove sensible for an individual to take responsibility for voting at the

LIFE MAY NOT BE PERFECT, BUT YOUR COMFORT CAN BE.

Russ Brown: Wild ride on the river Russ Brown was born in Ocean Falls, a community that is hidden in the mountains just west of Bella Coola. It cannot be accessed by road and can only be reached by boat or seaplane. The community was rich in Ana energy resourcMACEDO es and this formed the basis for a pulp and paper mill that went into operation in 1912. The town was vibrant and had a variety of amenities including a K-12 school system, a hospital, one of the province’s largest hotels and a swimming pool where several swimming champions trained. Then in 1973, the paper mill, once the second largest pulp producing mill on the B.C. coast, closed down and the province took over the property until 1980. Today, with a core population of approximately 35-60 people, it is considered to be a virtual ghost town. Back in the day, as is the case today, the local ecosystem was active from the sea right to the mountain tops. Russ lived in this setting until he was seven years of age and he thrived, for even as a young boy he had a

great love of the outdoors. It was paradise! His father was a steam engineer and his mother worked on and off as a nurse. Russ landed his first mill job at the age of 16; a career that took him right into his thirties. He worked extremely hard and he enjoyed his work but eventually the mill industry began to suffer and Russ became one of the casualties of that downturn. “After leaving the mills, I took on a job as an instructor with an Outward Bound type of program at Porteau Cove, run by the Ministry of Justice. I found it very rewarding. I loved it,� he explained. Russ became a role model for the youth at risk and he succeeded because he led by example. “Whatever you asked them to do; you had to be prepared to do yourself. If you had the kids do pushups because someone cussed, you did the pushups right alongside them.� Even after leaving Ocean Falls at the age of 8, his great love of the outdoors continued. He enjoyed fishing, hiking, skiing, rock climbing and all types of outdoor sports. “I did a lot of high-risk and high- excitement stuff. Although I never attended university, I was involved in the University Outdoor Club,� he enthused. In

NDP in the lead NDP from page 7 the NDP leads with 36 per cent to 32 per cent for the Conservatives and 22 per cent leaning Liberal. Poll respondents in Metro Vancouver said the most important issue was the economy and jobs, while slightly more on Vancouver Island and the rest of B.C. instead listed government accountability. Harper and the Conservatives scored best on their handling of the economy, foreign affairs and crime, Canseco said, but poorly on poverty and homelessness, government accountability, the

environment and the handling of energy and pipelines. The poll surveyed 814 B.C. residents from May 7-9, with a margin of error of plus or minus 3.1 per cent.

the ‘80s, Russ was even considered to be a top whitewater kayaker. In 1981, while sitting with his kayak alongside the river, he was asked to join R.A.F.T (Real Active Far-out Tours) and from that association and his love of rafting, he started up his own rafting company called ‘Wild Sport’ but the venture failed. “I was working elsewhere so this was a sideline business but you can’t really do that. It’s like running a restaurant part-time,� he said. His failed business venture didn’t deter him because six years later he went into partnership as coowner of REO Rafting. That, too, was not long lasting. By 1995, Russ and his wife Susan purchased the English Mill property which was the site of the former R.A.F.T. Company and launched Chilliwack River Rafting. Today,

it has grown into one of the largest rafting companies in B.C. It is a year-round operation and is all consuming but it’s an adventure and Russ admits that he lives in paradise. “Chilliwack has been so good to us. Chilliwack is an amazing place!� Russ and his team welcome thousands of river rafters and adventure seekers annually from our local area, the Lower Mainland and around the world. Visitors enjoy paddle rafting and overnight camping adventures which can accommodate timid, first timers as well as hard core rafters. “The Chilliwack River is our specialty. We host church groups, sports teams, corporate teams, private parties, and group camp-outs. You name it, we probably host it. I love what I do. I love meeting people,� he concluded.

Keep your hanging baskets looking good all sumer long I’ll stick my neck out and say that a good percentage of all the hanging baskets that look good when first put up will be somewhat less than gorgeous by early

summer. The problem is that many folks aren’t really sure how to care for them. They don’t realize that a little bit of soil in a small basket swinging in the

wind needs a lot of help to support all kinds of wonderful plants. First, it’s important to water your baskets properly. The secret is simple: water thor-

oughly every time you water, but don’t water again until the soil is dry. How do you tell? Feel the weight of the basket by putting your hand underneath and pushing it upward. If it weighs a ton, hold off on the water. Brian Once you’ve MINTER learned the art of watering, you’ve mastered sixty percent of the technique of growing a good basket. If you use a hose for watering, try a good watering wand with a soft-rain nozzle. Not only is it easier to reach those difficult areas, but you’ll also do a much better job, as this special nozzle prevents soil compaction. Try to water in the morning when the temperature is on the rise, and make sure the foliage is dry in the evening. Another key to a spectacular basket is feeding. Like watering, feeding is an art. In

such little soil, hanging basket plants need copious amounts of food and lots of organic matter. When you first start out, it’s important to get some strong vegetative growth. Fast acting soluble liquid fertilizers, like 20-20-20 or 15-30-15 ‘Miracle Gro’, are ideal. They’ve got lots of the three primary nutrients and a good dose of micro-nutrients as well. The best time to feed is immediately after watering. Get into the habit of watering first, then feeding right after. During periods of wet, cool weather avoid both watering and feeding for fear of drowning the plants’ roots. As the weather becomes warmer and the soil dries out more quickly, you can increase the frequency of feeding. In spite of your best intentions, I would venture to bet that your plants are still going to be hungry. That’s why I always supplement all basket feedings with a slow-release fertilizer. There are many formulations, but a well-balanced 14-14-14 fertilizer will do just fine. Two

or three tablespoons are all you’ll really need for continuous feeding the rest of the summer. It’s amazing stuff. All this fertilization will get those plants moving, but don’t forget that you planted those baskets for some colour. Once your baskets are on their way and really growing, switch to a fertilizer that is low in nitrogen but high in phosphorus and potash. I’m pleased with the results from the fish fertilizer based formulation of Morbloom 0-10-10. It holds the vegetative growth back while allowing lots of blossoms to form. The size of your

basket, proper watering and the timing and choice of fertilizers are, believe me, the secrets to success with baskets. Sure you’ve got to dead-head, prune back and occasionally spray for disease and insects, but those three areas are the keys to great looking baskets. Until your baskets acclimatize to outside conditions, it’s important to keep them out of the wind and in the most sheltered spot you have. By taking a little extra care, all your baskets and containers should look fabulous and be even bigger and more beautiful as the summer goes on!

UFV breaking new ground with research Jessica Peters The Progress Emily Smith* holds a handmade passport, and she’s flipping from page to page. Some pages bear one or two small stickers as encouragement to keep trying her best. Others are adorned with bigger, glossy stickers and plenty of handwritten praise. She flips lightning quick past the empty pages but lingers over the most colourful one, thinking intently. A moment later, she’s figured it out. “Oh!” she yells, beaming. “That’s the day I forgot to take my medication!” She begins to shake her whole body, laughing with her arms out like a mummy. “I was vibrating like this!” Smith, a Grade 5 student at Chilliwack Central elementary school, has fetal alcohol syndrome and attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder. Each causes symptoms that are problematic in the classroom setting, her mom says, like slow output, troubles focusing and blurting out. Medication helps even Emily out enough to focus on her school work so she can succeed. “I can’t send her to school without her medication,” her mom says. “She couldn’t survive a day here.” But there was that one day she forgot. Thankfully that was a FAST Club day, just like today. Twice a week for one hour, Emily and 11 other kids at Chilliwack Central elementary get a break from their desks, from note taking, and from their teachers. They get to play, being as loud and moving as fast as they like, under the guidance of dozens of University of Fraser Valley kinesiology students. Or, they can have quiet time, which is what Emily is doing after a good half hour of hula hooping and basket-

ball shooting. She’s sitting on the gymnasium stage taking a break, and giggles as she shows the colourful page to the UFV students running the program. Everyone remembers the day she forgot her medication, and they all laugh. The passports are a way for the kids to track their own progress. But they aren’t the only thing recording the kids’ movements. Research is at the heart of the FAST Club, and the study’s findings could help design ways to help children with myriad developmental delays navigate their way through the school day. Each student participant wears a specially-designed, research quality heart rate monitor that feeds info wirelessly into a computer

on balance beams, jump on pogo sticks, swoosh hula hoops, throw basketballs and whip around on scooter boards. There is encouragement to participate, but no pressure, and the stage is a quiet area to check in with the iPad, get away from the action, or play a board game. It’s a groundbreaking “exercise intervention program” research project that has involved about 50 UFV students to date. They are collecting data to be processed and learned from, including the heart rate charts, salivary cortisol levels, physical and emotional changes, learning ability, and more. The research is being overseen by Kathy Kliever and Alison Pritchard Orr, who are both associate pro-

fessors at UFV in the department of kinesiology and physical education. They said Chilliwack Central was a good fit for the project, where they could embed the program into the school day. “Embedding it into the school curriculum has been fabulous,” Pritchard Orr said, as it doesn’t require any extra time spent at the school for the families. “The intent is to have a research program that will help the kids,” Kliever said. These 12 participants were chosen because they all have varying learning barriers or developmental delays. Some have a specific diagnosis, others may not, and parents are not required to disclose this information to the school. Many choose to,

program that charts his or her activity. The kids know their heart rate goals, and can earn medals for staying in that range. The info is displayed on an interactive iPad, and the kids can check in throughout the hour with their own progress. The more they move, the more medals they earn. Each Central student is paired with a UFV kinesiology student as their own buddy, and some kids may require two buddies. Every time the group meets, the students and their buddies move through stations set up in the gymnasium that are designed to exercise different muscle groups and promote development. Two more UFV students staff each station, where kids can play bean bag games, walk

because it helps the school access more resources. Emily’s mom said she enrolled her daughter at Chilliwack Central because of the programs they are able to offer, due to the higher numbers of children identified as needing extra care. The FAST Club research is driven by the team at UFV, and supported by the Chilliwack School District and NeuroDevNet, a federally-funded centre dedicated to understanding brain development and to helping children and their families overcome the challenges of neurodevelopmental disorders. The volunteer UFV students involved have undergone special training and orientation, far above anything required for their coursework There are still tweaks to be made to the FAST Club project, Pritchard Orr said, as it moves along as part of a larger research program. When the 12-week program wraps up at the end of May, the kids who have been involved will likely miss coming to the gym for that extra two hours a week, including Nikko, an eight-year-old who has difficulty moving from one situation to the next. Robert Williams, known to Nikko simply as ‘papa.’ watches the action from the sidelines. Once in a while he steps in to help with Nikko’s behavior. The program has given the kids who often have a hard time socializing a chance to be together and be accepted, he said. “And it gives them (the researchers) a chance to watch the children and see what makes them tick,” he says. While it does mean the kids are missing out on a bit of classwork, “this is probably more important,” he adds. *Some of the children’s names in this story have been changed to protect their privacy jpeters@theprogress.com

Why you shouldn’t exercise to lose weight

MAY 2015 SUNDAY

18

Exercise has many wonderful, life-enhancing benefits, says Tanja Shaw. Just do it for the right reasons.

to do in life, such as going skating with your grandkids or hiking with a friend. Human beings are meant to move, and movement should be enjoyable, or at the very least, tolerable. If you workout because you want to feel good, be more focused at work and have more energy for your family, you’ll likely have a better attitude toward exercise, and it will become something you look forward to. As a result, you’ll become a ‘lifer’. On the other hand, if you associate exercise as a means to burn extra calories because you overate, or as punishment for gaining weight in the first place, you won’t be as excited to move your body. Or, you may push your body through unnecessary discomfort, and perhaps not even listen to your body for signs of needing rest because you feel you need to burn the calories. Here are three steps to help you stick to your fitness program: 1. Write down a list of all the reasons why you want to improve your fitness. How will your life be different when you are healthier? Aim for 15-20 reasons, or more.

There are often many additional, unexpected benefits of exercise! For long term success with an exercise program, don’t think of exercise as a means to lose weight. Instead focus on the immediate benefits of moving your body such as how you feel, and your mental clarity. You can also remind yourself of the long term benefits to your health. Enjoy moving your body!

2. Pick an exercise regime that you enjoy, or can at least tolerate. An ideal program would include some strength training exercise, and exercises that raise your heart rate such as brisk walking, biking or hiking. Ultimately, the best exercise program won’t get you results if you don’t do it, so pick activities that are enjoyable. Start slow and aim for small improvements over time. 3. Read your list of reasons daily or weekly as a reminder of why you’re committing to fitness. Expand your list to include other changes that you notice after sticking to a program for a few weeks.

happen before. Ultimately, we have very little control over the number on the scale. The number on the scale accounts for the total sum of your body mass: bone, muscle, water, all your organs and tissues. I have worked with hundreds of clients, and some lose weight quickly, some lose weight slowly. Some build muscle faster, some build muscle slower. Stress, genetics and other lifestyle factors impact the number on the scale. Now, I never said, ‘do not exercise’; I only said ‘do not exercise to lose weight’. Exercise has so many wonderful, life-enhancing benefits: 1. Exercise improves your mood and overall sense of well-being. Often people will say “I’m a better mom� or “I’m a better husband� when I workout. 2. The right exercise will help you build muscle, which will improve your body composition, boost your metabolism, and give you that toned look that will make you want to be sleeveless all year round. 3. Exercise will help you sleep better. 4. Exercise gives you energy and improves your mental stamina. You’ll be more productive and focused at work and during daily activities. 5. Exercise reduces your risk or heart disease, diabetes, and other lifestyle related illnesses 6. Exercise can put a spark back in your sex life. Exercise improves blood flow and circulation, and can make you feel more confident and sexy. 7. Exercise is critical for weight maintenance. People who lose weight and keep it off exercise regularly. 8. Exercise prepares you for all the fun activities you may want

I want to let you in on a secret. If you want to be successful with a fitness program, do not exercise to lose weight. Before you start thinking, “Why am I wasting my time at the Tanja gym?â€? SHAW Or, “Thank goodness! Now I don’t have to worry about moving my body!â€? I am going explain what I mean. Imagine this scenario: You reach a tipping point on the scale, you see a ‘fat’ photo of yourself, or your pants that used to be loose no longer zip up. You decide that enough is enough, and diligently commit to a vigorous exercise program. You set your alarm an hour earlier each morning and go to the gym alternating between 30-45 minutes of cardio one morning, and a weight circuit the next. You don’t miss a day. You are committed. You feel accomplished, and more energetic. You are standing a little bit taller. After two weeks you get up in the morning for a weigh in. You’re a little nervous, but excited to see the results. You go to the washroom, take off your slippers, and step on. The number is exactly 0.2 pounds less than it was before you started. You start thinking, “After all that hard work, I’ve only lost 0.2 pounds?â€? You stuck to the program diligently; why didn’t it work? You feel defeated, disappointed, and less enamoured with the thought of getting up at 5 a.m. to go the gym. Does that scenario sound familiar? I have most certainly seen this

The Search Institute is a non-profit organization committed to researching what adults can do to help kids and young adults thrive. One area of interest is how adults can support brain Marie developAMOS ment in the children they know. Executive function , which exists in the pre-frontal cortex of our brain allows us to defer gratification, and to remember and organize tasks, and even to calm down instead of blowing up. Understandably, it plays a large role in how well anyone can manage themselves and be productive at school or work. The strategies the Search Institute recommends to help develop and strengthen executive functioning in kids uses the acronym SOAR. Support Imagination – Kids often have a natural bent to imagine

all sorts of creative scenarios. Use this talent to help encourage and build empathy and explore how things might look and feel from another’s point of view. Reading is a great way to practice this skill! Offer Choices within Limits – Allowing young people to have choice and control over some aspects of their lives is excellent practice for the inevitable difficult decisions we make throughout our lives. Today, it may be letting them choose which shirt and pants to wear, but these small decisions help hone their ability to make more consequential decisions later in life. An important thing to remember is that not all kids are ready to make totally independent choices – their brains are still developing. On a snowy day, for example, it’s probably wise to give them three warm-clothing options instead of allowing them to choose from their entire wardrobe. Assist Reflection – Every event is an

Learning and following game rules also helps practice executive functioning – it’s all around a good thing. The four approaches don’t need to be used independently – you can certainly do them all together. For example, when playing in the park, the child can choose between several different games, problem-solve through the game’s strategies, imagine the other participants’ thoughts/ feelings, and work up a sweat. Kids’ brains are still under construction, to the frustration of many parents and teachers. It’s helpful to remember that, as adults, we can consistently look for opportunities to support the development of these skills. Practice makes perfect (or, at least, improved).

If a difficulty comes up, working through problem-solving steps aloud with your child helps them internalize that skill to use when you aren’t around. Raise Activity Levels – The connection between our brains and our bodies is very strong, so it’s not a surprise that physical activity helps young brains develop. Look for opportunities for your child or young person to get their blood pumping. Physical activity also contributes to stress management and limb coordination.

Maintaining game One of the prevailing reasons for seniors quitting the game is because of injury, writes Jennifer Greggain Spring is here and so is golf sseason. eason. The Chilliwack Golf Club team contributes a bi-weekly column ffeaturing eaturing golf tips, news and notes. Today, Jennifer Greggain talks about maintaining your best game into your senior years. As the body ages, it also changes. For golfers who were once able to hit the ball far and straight, they may find that as they get older, their game starts to suffer. Here are some tips for seniors to take with them to the golf course and practice range to keep them playing golf for a lifetime. For most seniors, the loss of distance is a big issue. Remember that the two ball flight laws that most influence distance are hitting the center of the club-face consistently, and club-head speed. For seniors struggling to hit the center of the club-face, remember that you do not need to ‘scoop’ the ball into the air with w ith your hands. This scooping motion usually occurs with the lack of hip mobility and rotation, which I find quite commonly among senior men. To help improve hip mobility and rotation, you must stay active, and look into some exercises and stretches that can help with w ith this issue. Remaining active and healthy is crucially important for seniors who w ho play golf. This will not only help with swing mechanics, but also with prevention of injury, and one of the prevailing reasons for seniors quitting the game is because of injury. Also, I find that reminding students to finish the swing well with w ith the lower body will help them get even more rotation through impact. The good news is that the ability to generate more rotation with w ith the lower body should also help the golfer generate more speed. Energy in the golf swing must come from the ground up, meaning that power and speed should be thought of coming from the lower body. Many seniors try to generate speed with their upper body, resulting in less speed and poorer ball contact. A great drill to help generate more speed is to turn the club upside down and make some

swings while holding close to the club head. Try to make a loud swishing sound with the shaft off the club as you swing through impact. See if you can continue to swing with more speed, butt be sure that the effort is coming from the lower body rather than the upper body. Another consideration that all golfers must be more aware of, especially as they get older, is nutrition and hydration on the golf course. No matter if it is hot and sunnyy or cool and rainy, golfers mustt remain hydrated on the golff course. Water is always the best drink k of choice, and you should drink k at least a quarter cup of waterr every hole, and even more if the weather is warmer. Avoid drinks containing alcohol or caffeine, as these actually y deter your body from absorbing the water you desperately need on the golf course. Its also very easy to forgett that ever-important first meal off the day, especially if you have an early morning tee time. Remember that a balanced breakfast containing complex x carbohydrates will help keep your energy up throughout yourr round. So a nice bowl of hott oatmeal and fruit, or multi-grain bagel or toast with peanut butterr are excellent choices. And don’t forget to continue to eat throughout your round. Again, complex carbohydrates are key on the course, so fruits and granola bars are great choices. After your round, seniors should look for more proteins to replace those lost during the round. Roasted nuts like cashews or almonds make a great meal on the course, as well as a sandwich with multigrain bread and lean meats are also good choices. One of the things I love aboutt the game of golf is that it can be played for a lifetime. Make sure you make the mostt of your game this season so you can stay healthy and fit to playy for many years to come. Jennifer teaches golf to adults and juniors at the Chilliwack Golff Academy. She played profession-ally on tour for over 10 years, including 2 years on the LPGA. She was also named the 2010 0 CN Canadian Women’s Tour Low Teaching Pro of the Year, and d is now the lead instructor of the Sardis Golf Academy. She can be contacted at 604-798-9805, chilliwackgolfacademy.com, or att Jennifer@chilliwackgolf.com

Brett Westad (in blue) and the GW Graham Grizzlies are heading back to AA provincials after a 42-5 win over Langley’s R.E. Mountain secondary school Tuesday afternoon. This is GWG’s third straight provincial berth. The first round of provincials runs May 23 at various venues followed by the main tourney, May 27-30 at Abbotsford’s Rotary Stadium. Sixteen teams will compete. GARY AHUJA/ BLACK PRESS

Finishing college career in national race Chilliwack track and field star Travis Vugteveen got two pieces of good news this week. On Monday he was one of 12 Simon Fraser Clansmen to earn All-Region honors for the 2015 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field season. The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) named

the recipients, with the top five individuals in each event from each region earning the distinction. Vugteveen was recognized for his work in the 1500 metre distance. On Wednesday, SFU confirmed that Vugteveen will compete in the NCAA Division II Outdoor Championships, taking place May

21-23 in Allendale, MI. Vugteveen and Clansmen teammate Marc-Antoine Rouleau will run the 1500m as the 10th and 16th ranked runners, respectively. Vugteveen finished sixth in the mile at indoor nationals. This will be his last major race, with the Unity Christian grad finishing up his last season of university eligibility.

Brooks and his Bruins settle for silver Chilliwack’s Colby Brooks helped his team to a second place finish at the inaugural Male U-15 Provincial hockey tournament, held May 7-10 in Richmond. Hosted by BC Hockey, the tourney brought together eight teams featuring the province’s best minor hockey talent. Brooks played for the Bruins, who made it to the final before falling 5-2 to the Kings.

He had one goal and one assist in three games. Chilliwack Minor Hockey products clashed in the bronze medal match, with Jackson Mainse helping his Penguins to a 5-1 win over Jason Bowen’s Wild. Mainse collected one power play goal in four games while Bowen had two goals and a helper in four outings. Dawson Penner played for

the Stars, who whalloped the Avalanche 7-1 in a consolation game. He had one goal and two assists in four games. The weekend included Western Hockey League combine testing, practices and seminars, with major junior talent evaluators jotting down notes. See bchockey.net for more information.

Stopper Stuart among youngest at BC Hockey camp Chilliwack Minor Hockey product Kate Stuart is one of six goaltenders at this week’s BC Hockey 2015 Female U18 Provincial Camp. The six keepers are joined by 36 skaters in Salmon Arm, with the camp continuing through Sunday. Stuart, a member of Chilliwack’s bantam A1 squad, is vying for one of 25 spots in the Team BC Summer Strength and Conditioning Camp, being held June 27-30 in Richmond. Stuart is one of the youngest players in Salmon Arm, the only goaltender and one of just six overall with 2000 birthdays. The majority have 1998 birthdays, with a few 1999’s sprinkled in. Stuart earned her spot with a strong performance at the U-16 BC Cup, which was held April 2-5 in Salmon Arm.

Super Bowl champion at Husker camp The Valley Huskers hold their annual Spring Camp this weekend, with a special guest dropping by. J.R. Redmond is coming up as a guest coach and will be on the Exhibition Stadium turf Friday night at 7:45 p.m. Redmond is a retired

National Football League running back. The former Arizona State Sun Devil was a third round pick of the New England Patriots in the 2000 NFL draft and won a Super Bowl in his second season as his Pats downed the St. Louis Rams 20-17.

Redmond had the key play on the final drive that led to Adam Vinatieri’s game-winning field goal. Catching a pass out of the backfield, Redmond evaded a tackler, got the first down and got out of bounds, preserving a valuable timeout that

would be used to give Vinatieri time to kick. Redmond played three more seasons after that, two with the Oakland Raiders and one with the Arizona Cardinals. Get spring camp info online at valleyhuskers. org.

annual general meeting held last week in Brandon, Manitoba. Beginning with the 2016-17 season, the 17 Canada West basketball schools will play in a single conference, featuring a 20-game regular season schedule. Each team will play four geographical, or historical opponents every year, with games against six of the remaining 12 opponents every other year. Over a four-year rotation in the schedule, each team will play every team in the conference at least twice, and will visit every gym in Canada West at least once. Also approved was the accompanying playoff format, which will see the top 12 teams playing a bracketed postseason structure over a three-week period. The top four teams will receive a bye in the first week of the playoffs, which will feature four best-of-three series. The following

week will consist of four best-of-three quarterfinals, leading to the Final Four hosted by the highest remaining seed. “The majority of members wanted a different format, so we spent six months going through a lot of options for schedules,” Canada West President Ian Reade said. “We were able to go through a collective problem solving process to get to a format, and come together on this one. “This allows us to guarantee that traditional and geographic opponents will have the opportunity to play each other annually, while eliminating the perception of having two tiers within the conference.” The 2015-16 season will be played under the existing twodivision format, with the 11-team Pioneer Division (Alber ta, Brandon, UBC, Calgary, Lethbridge, Manitoba, Regina, Saskatchewan, Trinity Wester n,

Victoria, Winnipeg), and six-team Explorer Division (University of the Fraser Valley, UBC Okanagan, MacEwan, Mount Royal, UNBC, Thompson Rivers), playing a 20-game regular season with no interlock between divisions. Beginning in 201617, the UFV Cascades will play fellow B.C. teams Trinity Western, Thompson Rivers, UBC Okanagan and UNBC on an annual basis, while facing the rest of the Canada West squads in the regular season every second year. “As a department, we think this is a much better basketball solution for our players and fans,” said Steve Tuckwood, UFV’s Director of Athletics and Campus Recreation. “This will allow us to have a much better Canada West experience by playing against a broader cross-section of teams, making for a more competitive atmosphere in basketball.”

Cascade crew fourth in Oregon After a tough opening round, the University of the Fraser Valley men’s golf team bounced back with a solid finish at the Bandon Crossings Tournament in Oregon. The Cascades placed fourth overall at the event, hosted by Southwestern Oregon Community College. After opening with a combined score of 316 in Sunday’s first round, they trimmed eight strokes off their total on Monday – the secondbest team performance

of the day. Spokane Community College won in decisive fashion, posting a twoday total of 595 (+12) to outdistance Olympic College (+34), tourney host Southwest Oregon (+42) and UFV (+48). Chilliwack’s Connor McLellan (T9, +11) led the way for the Cascades, followed by fellow Chilliwackian Aaron Pauls (11th, +12). “It wasn’t our best outing, for sure,” said UFV coach Chris Bertram. “We struggled

a little bit with some tough windy conditions and didn’t play our best. But there were some pretty good signs that we’re close, and we’ve just got to tighten up a few things before the Golf Canada event.” This tourney was the last competition for the Cascades prior to the Golf Canada University/College Championship, running May 26-29 at Cutten Fields in Guelph, ON.

134 BRAIDWOOD, Peter With love and wonderful memories, we announce the passing of our father, Peter Braidwood, on May 11, 2015, at the age of 92, after a very brief illness. He was predeceased by our mother, Beth, in 2003. Dad was born in Scotland and was orphaned at a very young age, at which time he went to live at residential school. He left school at age 14 to work with his uncle as a gardener at an estate. One year later, he voyaged to Canada on his own to live with his aunt & uncle on their farm near Inglis, Manitoba. It was in Inglis that he met his future wife, Beth. During World War II, Dad left the farm to enlist in the army as an infanteer, and then volunteered for the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion. He was dropped twice into battle zones, once on D Day and again on 23 March 1945, over the Rhine. He was also part of the fighting expedition sent by boat into Holland for the Battle of the Bulge. After the war, Dad re-enlisted in the military and served until 1974, retiring as a Master Warrant Officer. During his career, he & Mom made many lifelong friends at various postings.

MEIER, Hugo

Gies, (Alvin) Hartley

July 31, 1942 - May 5, 2015 With great sadness the family of Hartley Gies announce his passing at Chilliwack General Hospital on May 5, 2015, after a lengthy illness, his wife Ida and sister-in-laws Theresa and Ann by his side. Hartley is survived by his wife Ida, daughter Vivian (Dave), sons, Lee and Jake. Also left to mourn is his sister Rose, sisters-in-law Theresa (George), Ann (Randy), Glenda, Rose, Lynda and many nieces and nephews. His pride and joy were his grandchildren Justeena, Tayler, Jack, Tyson, Tyler and Zach. There will be no formal service after cremation. The family will be celebrating his life on July 31, 2015 when Hartley and Ida were to celebrate their 50th anniversary on Hartley’s birthday. Love you and miss you dad and grandpa.

Born on July 15, 1930 in Rumlang, Switzerland, passed away on May 6, 2015 in Chilliwack, B.C. He will be dearly missed by his wife Nancy of 56 years, son Ernest (Susan), grandchildren Melissa, Aaron and Lexi, daughter Pam (Jean-Pierre) Mottl, grandchildren Jeff (Amanda) and Jackie, brothers Ernst and Willi, extended family and friends. Hugo and his wife Nancy started dairy farming on #3 Rd in 1961. Until recently he enjoyed working on the farm with his Brown Swiss cows and spending hours in the orchard. Many thanks to Doctor Bartel, the nurses and staff at Cascade Lodge for their caring help and support. No funeral service by request.

134 BRAIDWOOD, Peter With love and wonderful memories, we announce the passing of our father, Peter Braidwood, on May 11, 2015, at the age of 92, after a very brief illness. He was predeceased by our mother, Beth, in 2003. Dad was born in Scotland and was orphaned at a very young age, at which time he went to live at residential school. He left school at age 14 to work with his uncle as a gardener at an estate. One year later, he voyaged to Canada on his own to live with his aunt & uncle on their farm near Inglis, Manitoba. It was in Inglis that he met his future wife, Beth. During World War II, Dad left the farm to enlist in the army as an infanteer, and then volunteered for the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion. He was dropped twice into battle zones, once on D Day and again on 23 March 1945, over the Rhine. He was also part of the fighting expedition sent by boat into Holland for the Battle of the Bulge. After the war, Dad re-enlisted in the military and served until 1974, retiring as a Master Warrant Officer. During his career, he & Mom made many lifelong friends at various postings.

MEIER, Hugo

Gies, (Alvin) Hartley

July 31, 1942 - May 5, 2015 With great sadness the family of Hartley Gies announce his passing at Chilliwack General Hospital on May 5, 2015, after a lengthy illness, his wife Ida and sister-in-laws Theresa and Ann by his side. Hartley is survived by his wife Ida, daughter Vivian (Dave), sons, Lee and Jake. Also left to mourn is his sister Rose, sisters-in-law Theresa (George), Ann (Randy), Glenda, Rose, Lynda and many nieces and nephews. His pride and joy were his grandchildren Justeena, Tayler, Jack, Tyson, Tyler and Zach. There will be no formal service after cremation. The family will be celebrating his life on July 31, 2015 when Hartley and Ida were to celebrate their 50th anniversary on Hartley’s birthday. Love you and miss you dad and grandpa.

Born on July 15, 1930 in Rumlang, Switzerland, passed away on May 6, 2015 in Chilliwack, B.C. He will be dearly missed by his wife Nancy of 56 years, son Ernest (Susan), grandchildren Melissa, Aaron and Lexi, daughter Pam (Jean-Pierre) Mottl, grandchildren Jeff (Amanda) and Jackie, brothers Ernst and Willi, extended family and friends. Hugo and his wife Nancy started dairy farming on #3 Rd in 1961. Until recently he enjoyed working on the farm with his Brown Swiss cows and spending hours in the orchard. Many thanks to Doctor Bartel, the nurses and staff at Cascade Lodge for their caring help and support. No funeral service by request.
