Mosquitoes ‘shouldn’t be as bad’ this year
■ A C ENTURY
OF
G ROCERIES
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s spring freshet time in the Fraser Valley, which also means the start of mosquito season. But two months of extra dry weather in Chilliwack means less water seepage up into Fraser River side channels and tributaries where nuisance mosquitoes tend to hatch. “So we think it’s shaping up pretty well this season,” said Dirk Lewis of Morrow BioScience. “The dry weather has kind of helped us out.” The end of snowmelt freshet at Mission also signals the end of the preseason larvicide treatments with BTi which were underway by Morrow BioScience crews. “But unless there’s another peak in water levels, or extra rain, that’s it,” Lewis added. The resulting abundance of adult nuisance mosquitoes, meaning the ones that bite, is correlated strongly to Fraser water levels, said Lewis. So the higher the water goes, the more terrain and larvae get covered. The larvae then get hydrated and hatch. Flood water mosquitoes are the nasty ones because they tend to be buzzing around in bigger numbers, he said, and are more aggressive than some other types. But because there is not a lot of snow melt water rushing down from the upper Fraser River watersheds right now, it likely means it will turn out to be quite manageable. “It shouldn’t be as bad as some years,” he said. The years 2007 and 2012 were particularly challenging. But river levels in 2015 are not going to reach the peak levels of previous years, but rather are expected to be relatively normal.

Sonny Joe takes a close look at old cans of food during the 100th anniversary celebration of Overwaitea Food Group at Save-On Foods in downtown Chilliwack on Wednesday. Overwaitea got its name from its customers who, back in the old days, received 18 oz of tea for the price of 16 oz, so it was known as the “overweight tea” store. The first Overwaitea store in Chilliwack opened in 1963 at the corner of Victoria Avenue and Mill Street. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Maahs presses for recorded school board meetings Jessica Peters The Progress School board meetings could soon be recorded and viewable online, if a motion on next Tuesday’s agenda is approved by the board. Trustee Heather Maahs will ask her cohorts to vote “ that the board instruct staff to implement the recording of board meetings at minimal cost, and post the recording on the school district’s website by the Friday immediately following the board meeting.” The issue has been discussed

Savage for the information and moved on. But the issue came again at the May 19 meeting, when Maahs waived her allotted time for a trustee’s report to state that she would be bringing the motion forward on June 9. She has been pushing the board to record meetings for the last several months, in an effort to ensure the board is “transparent to the public,” while allowing more people to attend the meetings in a virtual setting. “Taxpayers and parents need to be able to see what the people Continued: BOARD/ p12

The most expensive option was for a technicianoperated setup, at $26,766. A technician cost was estimated at double time for four hours per meeting, at the range of $250 to $300 per meeting.

Bike lanes, boulevard sought in Spadina redesign Jennifer Feinberg The Progress City council wasn’t willing to let go of the idea for bike lanes. They were discussing a $2.8 million road improvement plan for the section of Spadina Avenue, between Corbould and Ashwell, at the Tuesday council meeting. It’s in the city’s 10-year capital plan to spruce it up. They’re tentatively looking at
2017 with the idea of amping up the aesthetics with street trees, and green space in a centre island separating the two lanes of traffic. Coun. Jason Lum praised the preliminar y design, and then inquired about the possibility of bike lanes being incorporated into it. He was told initially by staff that bike lanes were typically only added to roads with higher traffic volume.
But Mayor Sharon Gaetz pressed the issue, saying they weren’t quite willing to “let go” the idea of bike lanes quite yet. Council wants to encourage people to get on their bikes, she added, and requested staff to take another look to see if the bike lanes could be accommodated. “We do want to give assurances to the development community,” she noted, “but we want to be able to give assurances to the commu-
nity, too.” The Spadina redesign, with a pedestrian corridor, would mean taking out 13 of the existing 265 parking spaces, used by attendees of sports and cultural events at the Landing site. They looked at various options, with considerations that included maintaining parking functionality, but with angled parking, in part as a nod to those with future development plans in that specific block of
DT Farmers’ Market kicks off Saturday Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The Downtown Chilliwack Farmers’ Market could be bigger and better this summer. That’s the hope of Farmers’ Market coordinators Verna Hoogeveen, and Lisa Peach, who are aiming to build it up into a “medium sized” destination market. “We are doing our best to make it bigger and better,” said Hoogeveen, who is president.
She described the style of market as “make it, bake it, grow it” and said they are happy with the very centralized Five Corners parking lot location. “We are looking for more vendors and volunteers,” she added. Mayor Sharon Gaetz thanked the market coordinators. They presented city council with an overview recently at city hall of what is being planned for the upcoming season. “Without your hard work, and without your willingness to start small, this
would not have happened,” said Gaetz. Coun. Sam Waddington said he was thrilled the market was right outside his back door. “I’m excited to see what is coming this summer,” he said. The downtown market, will run from June 6 to October 10, 9:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., rain or shine.

Local Harvest Market given until Oct. 1 to comply Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s not the first time they’ve been given an extension. Local Harvest Market was given until October 1, to bring the business operation into compliance, with city bylaws and provincial building codes, including liability insurance coverage. Owners were initially given three months by city officials in February, to come into compliance around the so-called “non-farm” activities on the site. The growing venture on Lickman Road near the overpass includes vegetable and herb production in the fields, a greenhouse operation, as well as a farm market and café inside a renovated barn structure. The revamped barn isn’t considered suitable for high occupancy use. A public hearing was held last February to rezone a chunk of land from an AL (Agriculture Lowland) Zone to an AC (Agriculture Commercial) Zone, to allow the continued operation of their farm market operation. It was held at third reading by council, pending the resolution of outstanding issues. Some of the changes took place without the necessary permits or rezoning. The owners estimated it would cost $250,000 to bring the building completely into compliance. Owner Dan Oostenbrink explained in council chambers last winter that the goal of Local Harvest was to: “reconnect people with farm grown food” through the experience of eating what the farmers have grown. “It’s an experience that adds incredible meaning and value to local farm grown food.” The issues are about the business being able to survive, too. “We have discovered that our off-season cash flow depends heavily on offering our customers value-added food. “Without a bistro and other value-added products, we’d be forced to layoff most of our staff through the winter and close our doors,” said Oostenbrink. Council voted for a motion that included the directive to city staff “to not to enforce” the rules around bylaws and business licensing until October “to accommodate” the 2015 growing season. However a notice will be placed on the land title stating that “building regulations were contravened” under Section 57 of the Community Charter. The rezoning is expected to be brought forward for final reading and adoption once Ministry of Transportation approvals are granted. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

The Progress The Move to Improve Program was not “cancelled” by Fraser Health, a spokesperson said on Tuesday afternoon. The onetime funding for the program had just come to an end. “All our clients who are currently enrolled in the program will be transitioned to other existing YMCA programs and will continue to receive services and support,” said Tasleem Juma, senior consultant with Fraser Health. The Progress reported earlier this week on the cancellation of Move to Improve. The YMCA said the free pro-
gram regularly had about 30 participants, all of whom were referred into the program by Fraser Health professionals. It was developed specifically for the Chilliwack YMCA, who says it is working with registrants to find suitable programs for each of them. Juma said the funding agreement was supposed to an end on March 31, but was extended until the end of June to help clients transition to other programs. She said ensuring clients receive appropriate services is important to Fraser Health, and they will continue to work with the YMCA to achieve that. “The number of patients enrolled in the program each
Finding a GP just a telephone call away Need a doctor? Better call ‘PAM.’ The Chilliwack Division of Family Practice has created a dedicated phone line for people without family doctors, in an effort to increase the number of patients attached to a physician. PAM stands for Patient Attachment Mechanism, and is an initiative from A GP For Me. The phone line will act as a single point of contact for residents from Chilliwack to Boston Bar who want to be connected to a primary care clinic, a family doctor, or a nurse practitioner in their community. The service is available for people who do not have a regular family doctor or nurse practitioner. When they call the number, they will have to complete a patient intake form to be assessed. They will be placed in line based on need, and cared for
if needed by a team of health care practitioners. Patients with complex health problems will be prioritized in the system, as having an attachment to a family doctor is known to improve health care outcomes. PAM is just one of six strategies that the Chilliwack Division of Family Practice has adopted from A GP For Me. They are also increasing support for the Chilliwack Primary Care Clinic, where unattached patients can find care. In Chilliwack, Agassiz, and Harrison, phone 604-795-0034.

year has been very low and can be supported through other existing programs at the YMCA,” she added. “New client referrals will be assessed through the Fraser Health rehab program and be assigned to appropriate services and programs, such as Community Redi. This program helps prepare our clients to receive rehab services in the community instead of the hospital.” The YMCA has created a new program, called Fundamental Fitness, to replace the old Move to Improve initiative. It will be fee-based for non-members, but will be free for those with YMCA memberships.

Aboriginal runner Caribou Legs arrived in Chilliwack Tuesday night after launching his epic run from Vancouver on Monday. Local supporters got to share a meal with him at the Sto:lo Resource Centre before he headed out of town Thursday on the way to Hope. The NWT ultra marathon runner, from the Gwich’in Nation, is crossing Canada on foot to draw attention to the thousands of Canadian lakes and rivers threatened by the absence of legislative protection. Chilliwack’s chapter of the Council of Canadians was ready to greet the runner with a potluck dinner. “We’re impressed with his tenacity,� said Wendy Major, spokesperson for the Chilliwack chapter of CoC. “We are cheering him on, sending our best wishes for a safe and strong run with support along the way. We strongly encourage the government to enact better protection of our lakes and water.�
Help shape food policies in Chilliwack Food producers and other agricultural operators will get a chance to vent in Chilliwack on June 15. The Opposition Standing Committee for Agriculture and Food is travelling to Chilliwack to hear about a range of issues affecting agrifood production in the Fraser Valley. “This is the committee’s third public meeting and I’m excited to hear people’s ideas,� said committee chair Lana Popham. “This is an opportunity to bring your concerns and ideas forward to help shape agriculture and food policy in B.C.� The opposition committee came into being in direct response to concerns that the provincial government was
not taking “a balanced approach� to its ag policies. Five opposition MLAs and one independent MLA are on the tour, and make up the first committee of its kind in British Columbia. “We would like to hear from everyone in the community,� said committee vice chair and Independent MLA Vicki Huntington. “We want to better understand how the government’s current agriculture strategies are affecting the Fraser Valley. All organizations and individuals are welcome to share their views.�

‘Cultural genocide’
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
The final report from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, which has been gathering information and evidence from aboriginal people all across Canada for the past six years, was released on Tuesday. Its contents make for disturbing reading. The commission comes to the conclusion that the government of Canada, and Great Britain before it, practised “cultural genocide” on First Nations people all across the country, through a wide variety of means. The most notable was residential schools, which had a mandate from the government to “take the Indian out of the child” by refusing to allow children to speak their native language, by removing them from home at young ages, by banning First Nations cultural ceremonies and replacing them with religious ceremonies, and ultimately by breaking up the family unit. The damage this has done is evident all around us. While the Lower Mainland has a significant number of First Nations people living on the street, the numbers here pale when compared to cities like Regina and Winnipeg. First Nations children continue to be taken from their families due to concerns about neglect and abuse. Far too many of the children referred to in B.C. Children’s Commissioner Mary-Ellen Turpel-Lafond’s reports are of native background. The languages once spoken by First Nations people (there were dozens of distinct languages in B.C. alone) have almost completely disappeared, although small groups are trying mightily to preserve them by teaching them to young children. The challenge is that few adults know the languages any more. All of these things can be directly traced to government policy and a determination to ensure that there would be little distinction between the aboriginal people who have lived in this land for countless generations, and the immigrants from other parts of the world. The commission makes a multitude of recommendations to try and bring about genuine reconciliation. These need careful study, but the first step must be for all Canadians to recognize the wrongs of the past and learn from them. ~ Black Press
L OCALLY G LOBAL
The dark legacy of Canada’s residential schools Stolen children. Outlawed language and traditions. Crushed sacred and ancient cultures. Abuse. Neglect. A sadistic government policy to kill the Indian in the child. The heart breaking and damning report by the Truth and Reconciliation Commission delivered in Ottawa Tuesday culminates six years of examining the notorious residential school system that endured from 1883 to 1986 and which is, without doubt, the most glaring scar on Canada’s historical record. Known in the 19th century by the buzz word “assimilation”, Canada’s Supreme Court of Canada Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin had a 21st century phrase for it: cultural genocide. No doubt. The whole insidious idea was the brainchild of Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald after a study of industrial schools for
Aboriginal children in the U.S. where “aggressive civilization” was the political approach. European settlers had brought with them the notion that their society was superior. The mentality that defined the glory days of the British Empire or achievements of other European nations underscored that sense of domination. Margaret It wasn’t much of a leap for them EVANS to see Aboriginals as “savage”, “ignorant” and in need of being “civilized” in their image. That translated into removing children from parents, villages, culture, language, and tradition and isolating them to the point of outlawing the use of their language (the only language they knew) and ancient customs. They were subjected to a
policy of “aggressive assimilation” taught at church-run, government funded boarding schools where attendance by all Aboriginal children was mandatory. It’s unbelievable this went on for over a century. Children were literally ripped away from their families. And, by the stats and facts, the fallout from this policy defies belief. The odds of children dying in school were 1 in 25 and, in the early years, 1 in 2. In total there were 139 schools, 60 per cent of which were run by the Roman Catholic Church. Some 150,000 First Nation, Meti, and Inuit children were forced through this system and at least 6,000 of them died. Schools didn’t have playgrounds. They had cemeteries. All the children who died because of smallpox, measles, ‘flu, or tuberculosis or other conditions ended up buried in unmarked graves. Many parents were never told what hap-

pened. Nor did they know of the constant and systemic sexual, physical, and emotional abuse their children suffered. Former students who did survive number 80,000 but their shattered lives have defined their existence. The influence of residential schools became intergenerational as trauma and stigma haunted them. More than 6,000 survivors came forward to speak before the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The Commission report listed 94 recommendations addressing issues like child welfare, education including the history and legacy of residential schools, youth programs, health, protection of language and culture, equity in society and law, and adoption of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as the framework for reconciliation. The Commission also calls for museums, provincial archives and vital
statistics agencies to collect all records of Aboriginal children in residential schools and make them available to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation in the University of Manitoba. How much attention the Harper government will pay to all the recommendations remains to be seen but there is no doubt the dark legacy of residential schools affects everyone. This isn’t only an Aboriginal issue; it’s a Canadian dilemma. Never again should that expression, ‘just Indian’ define Aboriginals. They are, as they have always been, a vibrant, resourceful, colourful, and unique people. Their language, customs, traditions, and beliefs are born of profound insights and ancient wisdom handed down in oral stories. Through their cultural lens is a unique understanding of the world we all share.

Bridge program grateful for hand The Senior Recreation Centre has concluded its eight-lecture bridge lessons with guest presenters. The presenters were David Schmidt, Marta Cecchi, Lois Mazuren, Larry Chow, Dave Peppar, Jim Sache, Dennis Glassford and Pat Carruthers. The series was a huge success.
The presenters, some of them Chilliwack’s finest players, all donated their time and energy to this program and helped make the series a success. Another reason for the success was the announcement carried in the Chilliwack Progress. We had inquiries and participants from Hope to Burnaby. We had from
12 to 25 people per session, and many came to the entire series of lectures. People seemed to be happy with the presentations and are looking forward to future presentations. Lois Mazuren
Kidney Walk looks forward to next year
Litter hurts efforts to keep road nice
I would like to take this time to thank the many sponsors who supported the Happy Kidneys Walk/ Run in our community. The event raised $400. This is super. All the money goes directly to the Kidney Foundation of Canada. Without the generous donations of our sponsors and people within our community this event, though small this year, was very fruitful. Let us make this event an annual event in our community. Chilliwack is aware of the seriousness of kidney disease and it is at near epidemic levels within Canada. Thank you for your support. I will do my part, have my voice be heard and have my feet walk one step in front of the other on Sept. 11-13 from Kananaskis Country to Calgary until all 100 kilometres are walked.
I could not resist today in my cycle stopping to congratulate the Salomas Mobile Park employee who has been responsible over the years for keeping its long and wide frontage along Vedder Road from Watson Road to South Sumas Road, beautifully park like. The frontage grass is kept as a lawn, the shrubs well trimmed and the roadside litter free for the most part, except when an indifferent auto occupant tosses the Macdonald’s or Tim Hortons, etc., leftovers out the window. Please offending public, help Salomas maintain this roadside park!

BOARD from Front they’ve elected are doing for their children’s education,” she said in an email to The Progress. “It is also a means for parents who otherwise may not be able to attend in the evenings a way of staying informed and engaged. I’ll bet a lot more parents would start watching the meetings if they were able to do so at their own time and convenience.” And that in turn could lead to more feedback from the community, especially on pressing issues like bus fees, she said. “I’d rather have angry people calling me than hear nothing at all,” she said. “That’s how we represent.” jpeters@theprogress.com.

No promises, of course, but that’s the forecast. It’s still recommended to avoid being out at dawn and dusk to avoid mosquito bites, to wear light clothing and to empty containers of standing water. Just like in 2014, the focus was controlling mosquitoes emerging from the shores and inundated areas of the numerous islands within the Fraser River. Crews used the boat they purchased last year to reach the hard-to-access spots. FVRD hosts a mosquito hotline (1-888-733-2333) and email address (mosquitoes@fvrd.bc.ca) for residents should they need more details or would like to report high mosquito abundances.

prime life OF YOUR
Life’s lessons, 100 years on Jenna Hauck The Progress For a woman who’s about to turn 100, Viola Manery is surprisingly independent. Up until October 2013, at the age of 98, she was still living by herself in her own house in Keremeos, cooking her own meals, keeping busy with friends, and playing bridge. Not much has changed since her move to Auburn Retirement Residence in Chilliwack a
year and a half ago. It’s not an assisted-living residence, but they do offer meals, even though Manery’s apartment has a full kitchen that she uses every day. Manery has lived in B.C. her whole life. She was born in Merritt, moved to Penticton, then to Keremeos for 70 years, and finally to Chilliwack. “My childhood was very pleasant. I don’t remember anything bad about it,” she says. Being the youngest of five children by nine years, she spent

a lot of one-on-one time with her mother as her siblings left home or entered their teenage years. She has fond memories of going to church every Sunday with her mother. In 1939, she married Frank Manery who was 20 years older than she. “But you’d never know it,” she says. “He was very goodlooking and it was love at first sight. When he told me how old he was, I couldn’t believe it. He wasn’t a complainer, and

he was always well dressed and put together. It was really a love match.” Frank and Viola had two kids, Richard and Joan. In the 1940s, they moved to Keremeos and bought a 10-acre fruit orchard. To say her life was busy on the orchard and in the community is an understatement. She’d pick fruit and pack fruit. She ran two fruit stands, and kept up with the garden. She preserved countless jars every
year of the fruit they grew and made pies from every one of them on the farm — peaches, apricots, pears, apples, cherries, and strawberries. She was president of the Anglican church women’s group for 40 years, involved with the Royal Canadian Legion ladies’ auxiliary, and got her fifty-year pin for her time with the Royal Purple Lodge.

B.C. Notaries are helping raise awareness of disturbing and serious scams that can be devastating to seniors and their families. “Criminals often target the most vulnerable in society and notaries see this far too often, but there are things that seniors and their families can do to protect themselves,” said Akash Sablok, President of the Society of Notaries Public of B.C. “We often work with seniors and their loved ones to create legal documents that help to protect them from becoming victims of fraud.” B.C. Notaries share five things people can do to protect loved ones or themselves against elder fraud. • Share information about common scams It can be helpful for seniors to learn about common scams that typically target their peers. These are often shared online and through the news media. Sharing this information with aging parents and friends, and talking about how they would react can help seniors to protect themselves if approached by a scammer. • Change banking practices Set up direct deposit of all incoming pension and other funds to minimize the opportunity for fraudsters to intervene. Tellers at your bank can help with this. Additionally, set up pre-authorized payment for regular bills, so they are paid

automatically, without delay or worry. You might even want to consider getting prepaid credit cards set at specific limits. • Create a Power of Attorney Having a senior appoint a trusted person, possibly an adult child, to manage finances and legal affairs can be helpful. This person should be accountable to the older adult and involve that person in the decision-making process. A B.C. Notary can help clarify and designate the Attorney’s roles and responsibilities. •Representation Agreement In cases where the older adult may have diminished capacity and cannot make a Power of Attorney, they may still be capable of making a Representation Agreement. This type of agreement provides a designated individual with authority that can include minor and major health care; personal care and living arrangements; legal affairs; and routine management of financial affairs. A Notary Public can create this agreement. • Set up a joint bank account A joint bank account for a senior and a trusted family member provides a second set of eyes monitoring for any suspicious transactions, such as large cash withdrawals that could occur as a result of a scam or fraud. To find a notary near you, visit www. notaries.bc.ca.
Having SUMMER First aid products handy can make it easier to take care of minor incidents, prevent infections, and speed healing. Here’s a few tips to help you this summer: • Minor Cuts and Abrasions-use antibiotic cream or ointment, bandages or sterol gauze. • Bug Bites- use itch relief creams, dab-on sticks or bug repellent. • Sunburns- use Aloe Vera gel or after-sun relief creams. • Skin Irritations- use Calamine lotion, Hydrocortisone cream or ointment. • We can help you with all your needs at Cottonwood Remedy’s RX.

Cooking for one or two people: Eating alone Eating alone can be difficult for people of any age. Cooking alone may seem like more work. But there are ways to put the fun back into eating. Here are some simple ideas provided by Dietitians of Canada. Start with keeping your cupboards full of nutritious foods that you enjoy. Studies show that when you eat with others, you eat healthier. So, sit down with some friends, family members or neighbours and enjoy their company while you dine. Treat yourself well; you deserve it!

Make it a pleasure
• Create a pleasant place to eat. Set a table with flowers, place mat and napkin, even candles. Listen to music. • Sometimes eating in different places is helpful. Take your meal out on the porch, sit near a window or go to the park for a picnic. Enjoy a dinner out in a restaurant occasionally. Ask for a “doggie bag” to take leftovers home. • Want a break from cooking? Try these simple ideas: • No-cook meals such as sandwiches, wraps or salads. A hardboiled egg, whole grain crackers, cheese and fruit makes a tasty light lunch • Ready-made meals from the grocery store such as grilled salmon with roasted vegetables or lasagna with a leafy green side salad. • Use convenience food to make simple meals such as:
Serving you for over
65
Years!
• Frozen vegetables to make a stir fry. • Cheese tortellini heated with low sodium canned tomatoes. • Pre-cut fresh vegetables, such as butternut squash, to make soup. • Consider taking Meals on Wheels a few times a week or more. Find companions
Beyond the nutritional benefits of eating with others, starting a supper club or joining an eating group can also help you meet new people and make new friends. • Share a potluck dinner with friends, or form a regular lunch group. • Start an eating club, such as a SOUPer Supper Club: The host makes soup and others bring bread, salad or fruit. • Join a collective kitchen or share cooking with friends. Find a place where a few of you can meet to plan, shop and prepare several meals together. Take those meals home, freeze them and reheat them when you don’t feel like shopping or cooking. • Ask other seniors who are alone for ideas and suggestions, and share yours. • Exchange recipes. • Teach your grandchildren how to cook or bake. • Check your local senior or community centres; many serve weekly meals. If you have lost your appetite for more than a day or two, talk with your doctor or ask for a referral to a dietitian.

walking — lots of walking. She never had her driver’s licence, so she’d walk downhill into town to run errands and to get to appointments, and uphill back home again on a regular basis. After Frank died in 1985, she remained active. “I was still busy doing things. I always had so much support, like friends who would drive me places,” she says. “Mom has a lot of confidence in herself,” says daughter Joan Tremblay. She’s a social butterfly, she adds. “Mom is never short of words — she can talk at the drop of a hat. She has a pretty good outlook on life.” “If I have something wrong with me, I want to see the doctor. If I have a worry, I want to fix it,” she says sensibly.
Key factors when planning retirement Kim Inglis Special to The Progress Planning for retirement can be overwhelming. It requires thinking about long term goals and it forces consideration of a more sensitive subject, contemplating one’s own mortality. An RBC study reports that only 52 per cent of Canadian boomers actually put a plan on paper despite understanding its importance. However, they worry about it. According to a recent Investors Group survey, financial concerns affect 32 per cent of Canadian couples and 60 per cent of them put retirement savings worries at the top of the list. For many Canadians, a sense of futility comes from thinking: “I’ll never be able to save enough money.” They may be influenced by the old rule of thumb that suggests 70 per cent of pre-retirement income is needed to maintain a current standard of living. However, some experts like Fred Vettese, the chief actuary of Morneau Shepell, believe that figure is far too high. Determining the right figure starts with analysis. Cash flow models should be performed, accounting for such factors as lump sum cash needs for special events, future inflation, and debt reduction. To help with that process, the Government of Canada has created an excellent Canadian Retirement Income Calculator that takes into account such things as CPP, pensions, RRSPs, and other sources of income like annuities. Once income goals have been set, analysis should be done to determine the income sources. For most people, a substantial portion will be drawn from investment portfolios. As retirement nears, these portfolios should be prepared for the transition and structured to replace
employment income. This generally translates into a more significant weighting in fixed income as well as other investments that provide a regular income stream, such as high quality dividend-paying investments. Good retirement income plans will also make use of guaranteed income sources that guard against volatile markets and inflation erosion. These include government benefits, available pension income, and annuities. Consideration should also be given to tax-effective withdrawals from registered accounts as well as strategies to minimize or eliminate clawbacks. Proper retirement planning goes beyond the management of the retirement portfolio. Estate planning also enters the picture, both from the perspective of how the money will be distributed to heirs but also to the more sensitive personal issues. Often there is concern over the future management of the estate by the heirs who may not be competent with finances or are simply not ready to handle a large inheritance. Time should be taken to identify any potential shortcomings and rectify any weakness prior to the inevitable. Canadians want to retire with sufficient income to carry them through and, hopefully, enough to leave something for their children. However, if they allow themselves to be overwhelmed in angst over an unattainable figure that is both high and inaccurate, they will never be motivated to begin saving. Determining the right number takes time, but the time is well spent.

Peters 604.702.5575 • jpeters@theprogress.com
Putting the meaning back into math Jessica Peters The Progress Paul Wojcik invites his students back into class from the playground right outside their room’s door at Vedder elementary. It’s time for the morning math class, and the kids are well aware of it. But they don’t dawdle, and there is no moaning and groaning as they take their seats. Also missing are the textbooks, worksheets, and calculators. Instead, the kids hurry back while Wojcik dims the lights and flicks on a projection monitor. He shows his students the four math sheets they can choose from, and they take their turns walking up to get one. Each worksheet is a piece of art created by another teacher in the school, Andy Fast. It doesn’t take long to see this is no ordinary math lesson. It’s a skills assessment program known as ANIE, and the kids are primed for the exercise. They’ve been learning math the ANIE way since September, and know there will be a chance to be creative, to explore, to experiment and to show off what they know. Known to educators as the Assessment of Numeracy in Education, the system helps kids tackle math equations in a more creative, backwards mode of thinking. It was written by Kirk Savage, Chilliwack school district’s director of education, and Kevin Bird, assistant superintendent at Fraser Cascade. They’ve been working on ANIE for 10 years, and have seen impressive results in classrooms that have adopted ANIE. In Wojcik’s class, for example, an average of 10 per cent of the students were exceeding expectations in math in the Foundation Skills Assessment. After adopting ANIE, that number is now closer to 70 per cent. And being successful at anything makes it more enjoyable, encouraging further learning. When Wojcik writes a typical Grade 4 math equation (4,178 x 5 = _ ), his students jot it down on their papers eagerly. It’s time for them to estimate the answer, using whatever skills each student has mastered. A handful of students are asked to share their estimates out loud. Some broke it down to 4,000 multiplied by five. Others attempted a

more complex estimate with 4,170. The goal is to figure it in their heads within five seconds, and it seems everyone’s on the right track. Now it’s time to do the math equation, and this goes quickly. The answer, they tell their teacher, is 20,890. Several students are invited to the projector to show their solution. Now for the fun part. The part that is sometimes missing from math lessons: What do those numbers mean? “The ‘solve’ isn’t the problem,” Wojcik said. “It’s the comprehension.” Math literacy is no different from language literacy in that regard. Similar to language arts, there is deeper meaning to be found in equations. Each math question can be turned into a real life situation. And

that’s where ANIE really gets engaging. That’s where ANIE shows them that math is about more than numbers. The students are asked to draw a picture that reflects the question. Many of them choose to draw five containers of french fries, each meant to represent 4,170 fries. The total 20,890 fries, naturally, being in their hypothetical stomach. Other students look at the question a little deeper. Erica Stolz walks to the projector with her worksheet, ready to share her vision of the equation. And it’s a good one, the teacher says, partly because it uses bacon, but also because it digs a bit further into the equation. “If I make 4,178 eggs, and I want to make five pieces of bacon for each
egg, I will make 20,890 pieces of bacon,” she says. Just like that, the ominous math question has a sense of being useful in the future, if that future means cooking breakfast for approximately 4,000 people who love bacon. Another student takes yet another approach, deciding that if she received one bag of 4,178 bouncy balls, and her brother received four identical bags, they would have 20,890 in total. The final step is to write out a “real life question” with only words, complete with the answer. The various answers and probabilities are the magic that happens with ANIE. “It’s transformational,” says Savage. ANIE Math was published
through Pembroke, and templates are available to download on Savage’s and Bird’s website, along with further information about how to use the teaching tool. There has to be a balance, Savage says, between the computation of math facts and the comprehension of what they mean. And as the kids are learning math, the teacher is able to look for gaps in their learning and readjust their teaching approach. For Wojcik, a math fan himself, ANIE is the perfect way to teach not just the fast facts needed for quick processing, but the deeper meaning behind it all. “This really allows them to think about math in a different way,” he says. “And they’re having fun with it.”

Perspectives ‘Conversation on Chilliwack’s Children’ takes collective approach to problem solving nity to set their minds to how we can make things better. Dr. Gwen Point, Chancellor of the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), reminded the audience of the importance of connecting our heart and our mind, to link compassion and our best thinking. Sonja Sinclair, the Provincial lead on an initiative called Safe Relationships, Safe Children told the audience about how the initiative resulted from the review of the death of the three Schoenborn children in Merritt at the hands of their father. Stephen Smith from the Ministry of Health spoke about developing a family-centered approach to mental health care. Steve Esau from the Chilliwack Addiction Service gave a succinct and com-

Life throws most people some troubles, but some people, unfortunately, seem to encounter a whole “triangle of troubles.” This Rob term – the triLEES angle of troubles – was used at the most recent Conversation of Chilliwack’s Children to define the triple family challenges of domestic violence, substance misuse and mental illness. The Conversation on Chilliwack’s Children is an annual event, now in its 22nd year, which brings together social services, health care providers, parents and youth to learn and develop strategies for helping families and children improve their lives. This year, the experts spoke about the triangle of troubles, and event participants then had an opportu-

Dan Bibby, the local Ministry of Children and Family Development manager who is also known for his involvement in Rotary and local sports, has championed a multi-year initiative called Every Door is the Right Door. This means that when people look for help, wherever they start, that door will be the right door because the person at that door will know who can meet their needs and link them to the appropriate supports and services. The initiative is predicated on having upto-date knowledge and strong relationships with other people in the care field.

Community Orange Door Project helps homeless youth in Chilliwack As part of its commitment to help end youth homelessness in Canada, The Home Depot Canada Foundation launched its annual The Orange Door Project fundraising campaign today, which collects $2 donations from customers and gives 100 per cent of the proceeds to local youth-serving organizations. Customers shopping in the Chilliwack Home Depot store can donate $2 at the checkout in exchange for a (paper) Orange Door. One hundred per cent of proceeds stay in the community and go to support the housing and life-skills development programs at Chilliwack Community Services. The campaign runs until July 2. Chilliwack Community Services’ The Village provide safe, supervised, transitional housing to youth who are homeless and at risk of becoming homeless. The Village has ten single units and one unit with two bedrooms for families. The organization serves youth ages 17 and older, providing them with the skills they require to realize successful independence. Funds raised through The Orange Door Project campaign will provide youth with cleaning and laundry supplies, towels, quilts, food, dishes, clothing for job interviews and bus tickets. “Every night in Canada, more than 6,000 youth don’t have a safe place to call home,” said Bill Lennie, chair, board of directors, The Home Depot Canada Foundation and president, The Home Depot Canada. “We believe this has to change.”

Progress
Eric
Welsh
604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com
The fourth annual Kicks for the Community charity soccer tournament takes place July 11 at Exhibition Stadium in Chilliwack. Each year, local resident Joanne McDonaldYoung organizes the tournament to raise money for a worthy recipient. This year she’s setting her sights on an Abbotsford teenager who desperately needs a heart transplant.
Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Cody Halfpenny had a big smile on his face last week after earning 73 on his mid-term exams. The 13 year old was rewarded for hours of study, happily soaking up congratulations from his family. It was a nice moment, a beam of sunlight getting through the grey cloud that’s hovered over his head the last two years. Halfpenny was born with a serious heart defect, one that required the replacement of a valve. Every year Cody went in for a checkup, so doctors could draw blood and make sure his heart was operating properly. Two years ago he was told the left side of his heart had failed completely. Over nine days the teen went under the knife for 10 open-heart surgeries, coming out of those procedures with brain damage, physical deficits and an LVAD heart pump implanted into his chest. Over the next few months the right side of his heart started to fade as well. Cody zoomed to the
top of the transplant list, and several times a heart was available. But his circumstances were complicated. “Because he’s not able to fight off diseases, if a heart comes in with Hep C or something else, he can’t accept them,” says his aunt, Bree Sorley. “About three months ago he was going in for some blood-work and they told him to bring an overnight bag. When they got there they told his mom (Elena) they had a heart.” “But it got taken away just as fast, because the numbers didn’t add up,” she continued. “It could have been anything and I don’t know the reason why. But he’s been on the list for a long time and they just haven’t found the right heart for him.” Before everything fell apart, Elena worked as a nurse at Abbotsford Regional Hospital. With Cody requiring 24/7 care, she was forced to abandon her job and stay home, leaving her husband as the family’s lone breadwinner. “It’s been really hard on the entire family, and it feels sometimes like nothing’s going right,” Bree says. “My sister sounds tired and looks tired, but she doesn’t stop. Her and Cody, they’re both stubborn. They’re both fighters and they won’t ever give up.” “And Cody’s brother is such a wonderful kid, just awesome,” Bree adds. “He just turned 17 and got his drivers’ license on the May long weekend. He comes home every day after school and takes Cody out for an hour, just so his mom can have a nap.” Random chance

brought Joanne into the Halfpennys’ lives. Joanne and Bree volunteered together feeding the homeless, and the two got to talking about Cody. “Sometimes things just fall into your lap, and that’s what happened,” Joanne says. “I believe people come into your life for a reason. Bree told me his story and I told her, ‘We’re going to do the tournament for Cody this year.’” The first year Joanne organized Kicks for the Community, $1200 went to a mother of two who was battling a brain tumor. She needed treatments that weren’t cov-
ered by medical and was only expected to live two months. She’s still going, taking classes at the University of the Fraser Valley and pregnant with a third child. “When she was going through her treatment she talked about how she’d be happy just spending a little more time with her daughters,” Joanne says. “An extra day, hour, minute, who wouldn’t want that? So it really hit home when she told me she was pregnant last week. Maybe we made a difference and had a small part in that.” Joanne and friends raised $1700 with their second tourney and
$1800 with their third, and she hopes to crack the $2000 barrier this year. She’s well ahead of the game thanks to Bree’s help and the generosity of donors. A sponsor is covering turf rental costs, which Joanne paid out-of-pocket the first three years. She’s had two of her children, plus their best friend, certified as referees, eliminating that expense. “This will be the first time that every penny goes to the recipient,” she says. The tourney happens July 11, with games running from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ten teams are onboard, up from eight

last year and four in year one. They know they’re playing for a good cause, but they also like the championship trophy that comes with first place. “They lose their minds and it’s not even a great looking trophy,” Joanne laughs. “Many of the players have been on this journey with me from the start, and they know good comes from it. But it’s also a lot of fun.” Meanwhile, Cody and his family are hoping for the best while they deal with the worst. “Getting that heart would be such a gamechanger,” Bree says hopefully. “Maybe he
could go back to school (he’s currently homeschooled by Elena), and function without needing someone with him 24 hours a day. It would be so wonderful to see him leading more of a normal life.” Search Cody Halfpenny on Facebook to find a ‘Love and Support’ page, or donate to the cause online at youcaring. com/codyhalfpenny Kicks for the Community also has a Facebook page.

October 24, 1946 May 31, 2015 It is with profound sadness my sister Sherry and myself announce the passing of our sister Wendy into the arms of our Lord on Sunday May 31st. Wendy put up a brave fight against the cancer that took her from us. The staff and volunteers at the Cascades Hospice gave Wendy loving care and comfort in her last days. She lived in a lovely mobile home park in Chilliwack for the past 6 years and prior to that she lived in Langley with her older sister and her nephew David and his son Christopher. Wendy also lived in Red Deer, AB, Kelowna and Penticton. September 12th we are planning a celebration of her life in Penticton where Wendy’s remains will rest with our parents Win and Harry Stanford. Further details will be announced at a later date. Sherry and Donna. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca. Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home 604-793-4555

The Hand of Divine bounty proffereth unto you the Water of Life. Hasten and drink your fill. Whoso hath been reborn in this Day, shall never die; whoso remaineth dead, shall never live.
