Emotional start for cancer ride Cops for Cancer make Chilliwack stop The Canadian Cancer Society’s 2015 Cops for Cancer Tour de Valley got off to an emotional start Thursday morning at Abbotsford senior secondary school. With hundreds of students and law enforcement officers looking on, fiveyear-old Greta Loewen distributed handmade ribbons to the riders, as they prepared to embark on their 850-kilometre nine-day journey to raise awareness and money for pediatric cancer research and Camp Goodtimes. The riders will journey from Abbotsford to Boston Bar to Tsawwassen, stopping at businesses and dozens of schools along the way. They pulled into downtown Chilliwack just after noon on Thursday, stopping for a quick lunch before heading out again along Yale Road. Before leaving Abbotsford, Loewen was joined by other childhood cancer survivors. But the absence of one young man long-affiliated with the Tour de Valley was also felt deeply.

Chilliwack mourns passing of long time school trustee Jessica Peters The Progress Long time Chilliwack school trustee Martha Wiens has passed away. Wiens had been a trustee for more than two decades, and was a frequent visitor to the schools where she acted as a liaison for the board. She was first elected in the Nov. 17, 1990 election, narrowly beating future Mayor Sharon Gaetz. The election results were close

enough for a recount, but Wiens won by a mere 12 votes. In that same election, John Les had b e e n voted in as mayor, and Clint Hames as councillor. Prior to her work as a trustee, Wiens had been the returning officer for the Chilliwack-Kent electoral district, and held an

accounting career. In her most recent term as trustee, Wiens was liaison at McCammon, F.G. Leary, Bernard, and East Chilliwack elementary schools. She sat on the budget and audit committees. The school board released a statement on Thursday morning. “It is with sadness that we share the news that one of our long serving trustees, Martha Wiens, passed away peacefully

Byelection likely The loss of school board trustee Martha Wiens will likely trigger the need for a byelection. With so much time left in this term, the board is mandated to fill the now-vacant position. Section 36 of the school act spells out the process for filling board vacancies, and orders boards to appoint a chief election officer within 30 days, or to notify the municipal council to do the same. The election day must be set for no later than 80 days after the appointment of that officer. If no byelection is held, the minister of

education can appoint a trustee. The last school trustee byelection was held in Chilliwack in 2013, when trustee Louise Piper resigned following an extended medical leave. At that time, the byelection was estimated to cost the school board about $50,000. Dan Coulter earned his place on the board, although voter turnout was dismal. Six candidates threw their hat in the ring, but only 2.3 per cent of eligible voters showed up at the polls. Chilliwack school board has not yet announced a time line for a byelection.

School district turns down Kinder cash deal Jessica Peters The Progress It was Chilliwack school board’s turn to mull over a bonus cash deal with Kinder Morgan at its first official meeting of the school year Tuesday night. The final answer? Thanks, but no thanks. The Kinder Morgan pipeline already travels along the far end of the field at Vedder middle school, near the power lines. The oil company currently has an 18-metre easement, but the proposed expansion project would require a 42-metre easement. Kinder Morgan’s offer was to give the school district $30,910

in compensation if the pipeline expansion is completed. The district is already entitled to receive money, although not as much, if the pipeline expansion goes through. The agreement bonus would take the place of an independent assessment, another costly move on any landowner’s part. The board report stated: “Upon signing of the agreement, the district would also receive a payment of $2,000 to cover costs, and an additional $4,000 if the cut-off date is extended from December 2016 to December 2017. Also, there is an incentive payment of $7,705 if the District signs the agreement before December 31, 2015. The

incentive and cost payments are payable regardless of the pipeline expansion going ahead.” But for many, signing an agreement gives the impression of approval of the project, particularly in municipalities who have already weighed the merits and setbacks of these deals with Kinder Morgan. The City of Chilliwack turned down $800,000 from Kinder Morgan for a similarly inked proposal back in May. And accepting the extra money didn’t sit well with the majority of trustees. “It certainly seems like they have us over a barrel,” said trustee Barry Neufeld, who added that the board has no business “wheeling

and dealing in real estate.” “I oppose any deal with the Trans Mountain Pipeline,” he stated. Trustee Dan Coulter asked the board to consider the underlining message of an early deal. “Would they use (the fact) that we signed as a social license?” he pondered, or in an effort to sway other landowners. Trustee Paul McManus also spoke against the idea. “It’s not about the money, it’s a philosophical decision,” he said, before voting against the deal. Trustee Heather Maahs called the pipeline expansion a “done deal” and made a motion early in the discussion to accept the offer.

Explore Chilliwack: Community Forest trail-building Sam Bates The Progress Summer’s end won’t slow the Chilliwack Park Society down. The next scheduled trailbuilding day is Sunday, Sept. 27 beginning at 1 p.m. Runners, hikers and mountain bikers, these trails are for you. Sunday’s efforts will focus on developing an ascending trail, part of a the 2.5 km moderate loop. Volunteers made great strides throughout the summer. “The 2 km beginner loop is now finished and ridable,” said project manager Marc Greidanus. The Community Forest project, created in partnership between the Chilliwack Park Society and the City of Chilliwack, has been active since June, converting over 100 acres of forest land into a community park. For a short time, the massive old-growth forest area was used for selective logging. “When we were a tiny town of 10,000 people, it made sense to do that,” said Coun. Sam Waddington. Greidanus explained that despite having “a few small cut blocks,” and a triangular portion sold to a developer who was interested in building a ski hill gondola, the forest remained largely untouched since it was logged 100 years ago. In fact, it almost became forgotten territory. But when Greidanus and Waddington came across the land in fall of 2014, they thought it would be a great area to put in a trailhead, leading up to the Elk-Thurston saddle. When they approached the city with the proposed access point, Glen MacPherson, Director of Operations, saw the potential. The Community Forest

Project is one with incredible foresight. As the Eastern Hillsides undergo significant residential growth, having a park nearby is essential. Additionally, it preserves the ancient wilderness, and the forest is ideally situated to eventually create access links to Popkum, Marble Hill and Ryder Lake, Greidanus explained.

Trustee Walt Krahn seconded her motion “to get the discussion started.” He ended up voting against it. Trustee chair Silvia Dyck was in support of the agreement, with Maahs. “I will take my pipeline issues in other arenas, where they belong, in my opinion,” she said. Dyck said the board should accept the money in the interest of the children’s education. Another option would have been to have the field independently appraised, at a cost to the board of about $6,000. That appraisal could then be fought by Kinder Morgan, costing the board legal fees. jpeters@theprogress.com

of the Chilliwack Park Society and the city, the Community Forest will be “one of the biggest municipal park developments in the Lower Mainland in the last 50 years,” Waddington expressed. And volunteers are making it happen, right now. The community has had a great response to the project and are eager to get involved.

Kerry Frayne, from the Fraser Valley Mountain Bike Association (FVMBA) “has done the work of 10 men,” Greidanus enthused. “His help and the FVMBA’s guidance have elevated this trail system.” Beginning next week, Unity Christian School’s shop class will be building and installing Continued: TRAIL/ p14

Over vocal objections from some representatives, local politicians have narrowly endorsed a call for an “environmental bill of rights” for B.C. at their annual convention. Calling it “an idea whose time has come,” Richmond Coun. Harold Steves sponsored the motion Wednesday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver. It calls for recognition of a right to “live in a healthy environment, including the right to clean air, clean water, clean food and vibrant ecosystems.” Steves reminded delegates of a summer of smoke from forest fires and a drought that saw his Cache Creek farm run out of water. He noted the bill of rights has been supported by 36 municipalities around B.C., after a tour of local councils by the David Suzuki Foundation’s Blue Dot campaign. The idea was quickly challenged. “How is this resolution going to prevent forest fires and create clean air?” North Cowichan Coun. Al Siebring asked. “It’s not.” Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb dismissed the bill of rights movement as “David Suzuki propaganda” backed by urban people who don’t understand that mining and forestry provide the lumber, copper and other products that build their homes and communities. Cobb said it already takes years of environmental review before resource extraction can be approved, “and if this passes, it will be another nail in the coffin of rural B.C.” Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz urged support for the bill of rights, arguing it would “raise our consciousness.” Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps quoted from a presentation to council by an 11-year-old boy and joined other delegates in calling for the resolution to support future generations.

Seniors Advocate, Isobel Mackenzie is the keynote speaker at the Seniors Fair next week marking Seniors Day.

rience working with seniors, Mackenzie is well-prepared to make informed recommendations to the Minister of Health to improve the care and welfare of our aging population.

Earlier in the day at 9:15 a.m., Nazlin Khamis from Pharmasave Health Centre Chilliwack, will present ways for seniors to take charge of their health and wellness, and at 10:15 a.m., Aileen Mittoni from Service Canada will provide an overview of Canada’s public pension system. “Come prepared to enjoy the day,” Holmes suggests. “But we also encourage seniors to bring their questions and concerns.” Whether you’re looking for fun activities to try, solutions for health concerns, ways to give back, or even help with your pets, the Seniors Day exhibition will guide you in the right direction.

A national initiative to recognize seniors and their contributions to the community will be held in Chilliwack next week. To mark the Oct. 1 Seniors Day, the Chilliwack & District Seniors’ Resources Society (CDSRS) has gone all out to put on an informative and entertaining day for seniors and their guests. The Seniors Fair and Exhibition takes place at the Landing Sports Centre (45530 Spadina) from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. “It’s a day for the community to celebrate seniors, and to recognize their accomplishments as active citizens,” says Coletta Holmes, executive director at CDSRS. Last year, Chilliwack marked the day with an evening social hour, Holmes explains. Though the evening went well, guest feedback suggested a day event, with more information about the programs and services available to seniors. Well, ask and you shall receive. This year’s full-day event will include more than 50 exhibitors serving senior needs, expert guest speakers, and live entertainment. “Many seniors want to be involved, they want to be independent, and they want to help others. This is an opportunity for their voices to be heard,” says Holmes. The keynote speaker of the day is Canada’s first appointed Seniors Advocate, Isobel Mackenzie. In this role, Mackenzie works with seniors, policy makers, service providers and others to identify and address system-wide issues that affect the well-being of B.C.’s near 700,000 seniors. With 20 years of expe-

the Alzheimer’s Society of B.C., and many more. There will even be representatives on-site for seniors who are looking for employment and volunteer opportunities. With all of these amazing exhibitors on display, wouldn’t it be great to take home one resource that lists them all? Now, there is. The Seniors’ Healthy Living Resource Guide will be officially unveiled at the event. The guide will provide Chilliwack seniors “with information on a number of programs, organizations and

One man is dead following an incident in Agassiz early Wednesday morning. Police were responding to a complaint of an elderly male holding what looked like a knife to his stomach at the Cheam Village care home in the 1500 block of MacKay Avenue. Police located the man, who appeared to be in distress. He was eventually subdued and take into custody. An RCMP member was reportedly stabbed in the leg during the altercation. He has since been treated and released from hospital. Paramedics were called in to treat what appeared to be self-inflicted wounds. However, the man died in the ambulance. The Independent Investigation Office of British Columbia has taken over investigation of the incident because of the police involvement. Anyone with information or who may have witnessed the incident is asked to contact the IIO toll-free witness line at 1-855-446-8477 (TIPS).

Civic leaders weigh in on tax policy at UBCM Cities vote against carbon tax hike Jeff Nagel Black Press Municipal

leaders

have decided against asking the province to resume regular increases in B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carbon tax

in the name of fighting climate change. Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention narrowly defeat-

ed the motion from New Westminster on Thursday, with 52.4 per cent voting no on Thursday. The tax has been fro-

zen at $30 per tonne of carbon dioxide emissions since 2012 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; equivalent to about seven cents a litre on gasoline. The tax also

applies to natural gas, coal and other fossil fuels. The proposal called for increases of $5 per tonne each year for five

years, followed by a review. It also urged the province to break from its policy of making the tax revenue-neutral and use the extra revenue to support emissionreduction projects. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sure-fire way to create a balance between the cost of renewables and the cost of carbon,â&#x20AC;? said Vancouver Coun. Adriane Carr, who warned this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s extreme drought and smoke from forest fires will be â&#x20AC;&#x153;our new future.â&#x20AC;? But Prince Rupert Coun. Barry Cunningham cautioned a major increase in carbon tax would unfairly drive up the cost of living in northern B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you live up north, everything is trucked up there,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This would add a lot to all our food and everything else thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trucked up.â&#x20AC;? Other delegates argued the carbon tax should go up by more than $5 a year and it should be expanded to target untaxed carbon emissions sources, such as methane escaping from landfills and fugitive emissions from LNG production and other industrial activity. Mission Mayor Randy Hawes, a former B.C. Liberal MLA, said any hike in the carbon tax should continue to be dedicated to personal and corporate income tax cuts. B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s carbon tax was introduced in 2008 and attracted international interest as a potential model for reducing emissions. A climate leadership team appointed this year by the province is to advise the government on further steps for cutting emissions. Several demands for funding and tax policy changes did pass at UBCM. Delegates voted to urge the province to increase its corporate income tax rate by one per cent and send the extra revenue to local governments. Some called that idea dangerous, but advocates said municipalities are too dependent on property taxes and need an extra revenue source to rebuild infrastructure. Civic leaders also voted to urge the province to create a seismic upgrading fund by reallocating $190 million per year of the $450 million in tax it collects on property and vehicle insurance premiums.

Brush with brain cancer prompts support group Jessica Peters The Progress When Paula Martens was diagnosed with brain cancer, she went through the full range of emotions. “I have gone through grief, and loss and anger,” she says. “I was irate, on so many levels.” But eventually the dark clouds parted, and she began to surrender to her new reality. Eventually, she learned to accept her diagnosis. Today, six years later, she’s even learned to celebrate it. “What a gift,” she says, smiling over a cup of tea at Decades Coffee Club. “I’m proof that you can get through it.” She began having serious migraines in late 2008 and was sent for a CT scan to be followed almost immediately with an MRI. The results determined she had developed astrocytoma, and she was booked for surgery, where most of

the tumour was removed. Eventually, she also agreed to follow up treatments, and her regular, six month scans have shown no new growth. Martens is now 38 and has survived cancer — “so far,” she points out. “I feel like I’ve graduated from cancer university,” she says, laughing. And now she’s built up the inner strength and determination to seek out others affected by cancer. She is starting up a cancer support group and is opening the door to anyone affected by the disease, whether they are going through treatment right now, or have been cancer free for many years. Her support group is open to family, friends, caregivers, anyone who feels open to joining in. “I feel like I’m a cheerleader,” she said. “I have brain cancer and I’m still here, you can do this.” She said it’s important to “not give too much power”

to cancer, and she knows not everybody is in a place to join a support group. “I wouldn’t have been able to do this even two years ago,” she says, but she’s had six years postsurgery now to come to terms with cancer, and to gain her new, positive perspective. “I know others can find peace in this,” she says. “And by peace that doesn’t mean everything is wonderful all the time but that you can find moments of peace.” And she doesn’t shy away from the discussion of death. “Eventually you look at death. You don’t get to win,” she says. “I have a zero per cent chance of survival.” So she’s decided to make the best of it. And Martens is wellequipped to be facilitating a support group, with several years as a trained drug and alcohol counsellor under her belt. She earned that

training after cleaning up her own life, at the age of 23. But she says she’s not going to be counselling others. She just wants an informal place to gather and share common experiences. “People want to be heard,” she said, and a support group can provide that outlet. She had been attending a brain cancer support group in Vancouver, and enjoyed it, but is hoping to meet others, closer to home in Chilliwack. Decades will be offering the meeting space in the Wellington Room, once a month. The meetings will run from 10 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. on the first Wednesdays of each month, and there will be no fee to drop in. The first three meetings are set for Oct. 7, Nov. 4. and Dec. 2. For more information or to connect with Martens directly, email chilliwackcancergroup@gmail.com.

Why I gave away $400 worth of designer jeans I just gave away about $400 worth of designer jeans. They are not worn out; they are not out of style. They are beautiful, dark blue jeans and I used to love them. That was when I was two sizes smaller. And honestly, not at my healthiest self. If you own clothes from ‘thin’ to ‘fat’, you’re not alone. Maybe you even have one special outfit that you once wore when 20 or 30 years ago. Many people I know have multiple sizes of clothes in their closet- from the “when I finally lose those past 10 pounds” to “the clothes I wore when I was 20 pounds heavier”. Tanja Thin, thinner and SHAW fat clothes. I suggest getting rid of them, and here’s why. Slipping on your “skinny jeans” is not motivating. Be honest: How do you feel when you put on your ‘skinny jeans?’ Do you feel expansive and happy and like you want to treat your body really well and take care of yourself? Or, do you feel disgusted and full of ‘fat talk’. Do you criticize your body for its dimples and soft parts or do you respect and appreciate your body? And it doesn’t matter if you are now a size 6, and you used to be a size 4, or if you are a size 18 and you used to be a size 12. Before I go on, I’m not saying that you should simply buy new bigger clothes every time you gain a bit of weight and get rid of your clothes that don’t fit. That would be silly, and expensive. Besides, clothes can provide a reality check if you’ve been having a few too many glasses of wine, or if you’ve been doing a bit too

much snacking at night. But if you hold onto clothes that don’t fit, and haven’t fit for a long time, and you try them on as a reminder of how you once were, or look at them longingly and start to feel uncomfortable in your body, it may be time to bring them to the thrift store. Or at the very least, pack them away. Ditto for the larger clothes that you’re holding onto ‘just in case’. Just like the scale, the outfit you wore in your early 20s becomes a measurement of self-worth. And if you do feel motivated to change, it won’t be out of a desire to love yourself and treat yourself well, but out of disgust that you’ve let yourself go, or simply being upset that you’re not where you once were. Self-loathing or disappointment with your current size leads to exercising or avoiding certain foods as a punishment for gaining weight. Or, you could be tempted to find a quick fix to quickly drop a few pounds (and we’ve all done that before and know what happens in the long term). The goal of exercise is no longer to feel strong and energetic. Instead it’s to burn calories, or to compensate for poor eating choices earlier in the day. When you ‘slip up’, maybe you eat something that’s off limits or miss a workout or two you feel bad about getting off track, and you think you failed. You then recommit to your plan and work extra hard to reprimand getting off track. Or, on the flip side, you feel down and depressed and turn to food to sooth your emotions. In other words, negatively comparing ourselves to where we once were, or how far we have yet to go, robs us from enjoying the present. Continued: JEANS/ p15

Sugar tax worth tasting?

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

This week’s call from the Canadian Diabetes Association for a sugar tax is a interesting idea and one our politicians should consider. Sugary drinks may be the single most under-appreciated health threat facing us today. The links between high sugar consumption, obesity and diabetes are well-known. The societal costs to families are incalculable, but the out-ofpocket burden on our health care system is easily tallied. According to the CDA, it will amount to $14 billion this year alone. It’s simply common sense for some of the cost to be shouldered at the root of the problem. True, we haven’t banned tobacco or alcohol despite their known link to illness and death. But we haven’t ignored them either. Each has been the focus of widespread attempts to educate or even shame those who overuse and abuse. Each has been subjected to surcharges and levies aimed at recouping some of the cost it adds to our health care bills. The same needs to be done for sugary drinks. Pointed advertising campaigns need to target those who make a case of soft drinks a part of their weekly routine. Moms and dads need to be warned right at the store about the amount of empty calories that slushy drinks or jumbo-size sodas pump into their child’s system. Meanwhile, adding a sugar tax will create a new funding source for the treatment of diabetes and ailments related to obesity. It may also encourage people to shop for cheaper — and preferably healthier — alternatives to quench their thirst. By offering your child certain cans of pop, you are effectively spoonfeeding her 10 to 12 teaspoons of sugar with no other nutritional value. If you saw your neighbours feeding their kids sugar by the spoonful, you’d probably be on the phone to social services. But for some reason not everyone is getting the message. We aren’t trying to demonize pop. We’re not saying never indulge yourself or your kids. The issue is that it should be a treat, not a regular dietary staple. If your kid is thirsty, give him or her a drink of water. Then call up your MP and urge them to do some sweet talking about a sugar tax. -Black Press

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Pardon of jailed journalist is a welcome surprise It was great news Wednesday when Canadian journalist Mohamed Fahmy, in prison in Egypt on bogus terror charges, received a pardon from Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi. He was released along with fellow journalist Baher Mohamed, an Egyptian nationalist who had been jailed with him. They were dropped off, still in prison garb, outside Fahmy’s old high school. The pardon and release came suddenly and to everyone’s complete surprise although, in retrospect, some wondered if the decision had came on the eve of the Eid al-Adha, the festival of sacrifice, and a time when pardons are traditionally given. There were likely lots of silent hopes and prayers. As it was, the journalists’ names were among the first 100 prisoners (including dozens of human rights activists) to receive pardons and more prisoners may

get released. Tradition or not, Egypt corrected a long, overdue injustice. Fahmy was born in Egypt in 1974 and came to Canada with his family in 1991, living in Montreal and Vancouver. The award-winning jour nalist then worked extensively in the Middle East, covering stories for Margaret CNN and the New York Times. He EVANS covered the Iraq War and authored the book Baghdad Bound. He covered the Arab Spring that began in Tunisia in 2010 then, in 2013, he was appointed as Cairo bureau chief for Al Jazeera’s English network. Fahmy’s nightmare began in December that year when

he, Mohamed, and Australian Peter Greste were arrested on trumped-up charges of conspiring to spread false news with the banned Muslim Brotherhood and fabricating footage to undermine the country’s security. In June 2014 they were found guilty by the Cairo Criminal Court and sentenced to seven years at the notorious Tora Prison. An appeal for a re-trial earlier this year allowed Fahmy and Mohamed bail time (Greste had been deported to Australia). Fahmy gave up his Egyptian citizenship in the hope he too could accelerate deportation. That didn’t happen. The retrial in August yielded another conviction and Fahmy got a threeyear sentence after having already served 400 days. Now, almost a month after the retrial, Fahmy and Mohamed received the unexpected pardons. They were lucky.

The United Nations recognized several years ago that journalism is one of the most dangerous professions in the world. According to Reuters, over 700 journalists have been killed between 2000 and 2014 and well over 2,000 have been imprisoned. The UN identified Latin America as one of the most dangerous regions and Mexico the most dangerous country for journalists covering drug trafficking and political corruption. But with the rise of ISIS and the brutal instability that began with the Arab Spring, Iraq, Syria and Egypt were considered the most deadly countries for journalists in 2013. In that year alone, 211 journalists were imprisoned and 70 died just because of their work. Like Fahmy, journalists are imprisoned by the hundreds around the world and they are targets for extremists. In January

this year, there was the slaughter of writers at the magazine Charlie Hebdo in Paris, France. Among the backlash reactions, UNESCO launched a debate on strengthening the safety of journalists. Last year Al Arabiya News said that journalists were coming increasingly under attack around the world. Reporters are often in greater danger and protective governments and police make matters worse. An Associated Press photojournalist was shot and killed in Afghanistan in the run-up to their election. The Philippines is just as deadly where almost half of the journalists killed cover politics and another third of those killed cover corruption stories. Once back in Canada, Fahmy will become an adjunct professor at UBC’s school of journalism. No doubt a book on his unique and challenging experiences is in the works.

Voter weighs the options I read the letter by Ken Bramble with interest. (Strategic voting in Chilliwack, Readers Write, The Progress, Sept. 18.) Mr. Bramble assumes that most Canadians are ready for change. He said “Enough is Enough” but then fails to say what he means. It’s no secret that the NDP is a rigid leftist party and most members would never say a good word of any political organization that does not support socialist dogma no matter how good a job of governing they provide. I would like to point out that in B.C. we have had past experience with NDP governments. Our lessons learned from that period is that politicians are politicians no matter what political bent. Records show that the NDP pilfered money from charities on Vancouver Island

for their own political use. One NDP cabinet member said that “government can do whatever they want” because they are the government. Also many NDP party members have been quoted saying that government really owns the wages earned by workers and the profits earned by business and therefore will decide how much people will be allowed to keep of their hard wages and business profits. So what have we had enough of? A federal government that has managed the economy reasonably well in spite of tough times throughout the world? Is it that this government recognizes that hard earned wages and hard earned profits are good and those earning them should be allowed to keep as much as possible therefore government should spend the citizens money

efficiently? I’m not a member of any political party so I’m free to choose to vote for any party I feel will work in the best interests of all Canadians. I recognize that the current government has made mistakes and based on past experience know we’ll never have a government that won’t be strongly disliked by one group or another. Over the next few years we are likely to see dire economic conditions in many parts of the world due to government over spending and it will likely have an impact on Canada. I feel that the Conservatives are not the “devil” as implied by Mr. Bramble, and the best bet for us another term. Robert E. Martin Chilliwack

In response to Fred Petersen’s letter of Sept. 23 (Questions about environmental sustainability), it is important to note that North America has the smallest reserves of natural gas of nearly any continent in the world. Russia is the country with the second largest reserves in the world... many times greater than Canada’s. Wouldn’t it make sense to keep Asian natural gas in Asia, European gas in Europe, and North American gas here rather than risk shipping it around the world? It is a fact that large ships endanger the lives of humpbacks and other whales who communicate with each other over

distances of hundreds of kilometres. It is a fact (just recently announced by scientists at U. of Victoria) that the ocean’s fish populations are half what they were in the l970s. It is also a fact that in 2012 the Conservative government removed environmental protection from thousands of Canada’s lakes and rivers, leaving only 163 protected from coast to coast. Whether or not you believe in climate change, there is devastation happening to the land, water and air environments of the Earth. Canada has fallen far behind other first world countries in promotion/ production of renewable energy. Yes, we all use

and need natural gas and oil, but there are politicians who see an alternative to shipping these products around the world and destroying the environment (guaranteed) to make someone in China richer. Our current government is focused on exploiting fossil fuels as quickly as possible. Many people believe we could pass on a healthier economy and healthier environment to future generations if Canada focused on developing a world class renewable energy industry that will benefit both tourism and local residents. B.C. tourism revenues were $14 billion last year. I could list many more

federal issues...spending “lapses” in budgets for veterans affairs, aboriginal affairs, and national defence while bragging about a federal surplus, ignoring most of the $26 million Cohen comission recommendations on saving our salmon, unemployment consistently above rates prior to the 2008 recession, etc. Much of Canada has lost faith in the current federal government. You might think a new government will address some of these issues. But if we are to effect change, we must first vote on Oct. 19, and take along a friend or family member who might not have otherwise voted.

Not voting is not an option this year RE: Jessica Peters’ article on the Students Union having MP candidates speak and your article. So very happy to see this. We have a student that’s gone to Ottawa and I wanted to make sure every student had an opportunity to cast a vote. Thankfully things are in full swing. I called Elections Canada on the matter and did not get much

of a reply. However, have spoken to UBC students union reps etc. about the pilot project at 40 universities in Canada where they will help students participate? We could do this, too. We don’t need a pilot project, just committed caring people. That said let’s make sure that everyone in Chilliwack knows what pieces of ID are required

and voting places are published somehow. I don’t own a car but on that fine day I will be renting one and giving rides to neighbors so they can vote. Not voting this year is no longer an option! So grateful for your gentle reminders and news stories on climate change too. J. Cummins

Trail building effort calls for volunteers TRAIL from page 3 low bridges, culverts, retaining walls and drainage control for the beginner trail. Professional trail-builder Ewan Fafard has recently completed new cedar steps at the top of Elk Mountain, and he’s been hired to work on the more difficult, downhill flow por tion of the moderate loop in the Community Forest beginning next week. The volunteers use fallen or donated timber to make park-style furniture to set up

in the forest, like benches and picnic tables. They’ve recently received a large supply of timber from Denbow, a company that processes forest residuals. There are also plans to develop an educational component to the forest, including interpretive signage and, potentially, a historical tour of First Nations land use. “We have seen a fantastic turnout from the community with over 50 people attending the last few trail days,” said Greidanus. And he is sending out the call once again.

The Chilliwack Community Forest is located at 51996 Allan Road. If you want to take part in the trail-building on Sunday, bring closed-toed shoes, work gloves, a shovel and water.

Trail-building begins at 1 p.m. and will take place rain or shine. To learn more about the project, visit chillliwackparksociety.ca.

Community Turf those skinny jeans Open house for business inclusiveness It’s a slippery slope to the “I’ll be ______ when ______” mentality. I’ll be confident when I lose weight. I’ll be happy when I lose weight. And then, we look for the something, often a quick fix or crash diet to fix ourselves. If you ever feel like this, you’re human. It’s natural and normal, but at the same time, it’s not self-serving. Stop, pause and take a deep breath. Want to turn things around and start to really feel inspired to take care of yourself? Then treat your body really well in the size it is NOW. When it comes to your wardrobe, buy and wear clothes that make you feel fantastic in the body that you are in. If you’ve always wanted to take a pottery course, or to pursue a different career, don’t wait until you’ve become a certain size. One of my clients decided to live her life now just last week. She had bought a hot tub, something she always wanted. Something she was going to get after she lost 25 pounds. I was absolutely thrilled that she finally bought the hot tub. But she had not yet lost the 25 pounds. I know that eventually she will lose the weight. She’s made such incredible progress and is on the right path, it’ll just take more time. But I love that she didn’t wait until she got to a certain size before she allowed herself to enjoy something she really wanted. And not surprisingly, her motivation to continue on her health journey has strengthened. By wearing clothes that fit and make you feel good now, and by doing the things that make you enjoy your life now, an incredible

Students learning the tricks of the trade Chilliwack’s ‘Secondary Apprenticeship Program’ gives young people hands-on, work place experience Jessica Peters The Progress Kids want to learn. But for many students, the knowledge they seek can’t be found between the covers of a textbook. They want to know how to build things, and how to fix things. They crave the ability to create something from virtually nothing, to turn a vision into a reality. And the only way to learn this way, is by digging in and getting those hands dirty. Trying and failing, and then trying again and succeeding. And there is no place to better test your mettle than a fastpaced kitchen, with real life customers. Earl’s Kitchen and Bar in Sardis has become a bit of a testing ground, says head chef Jonathan Leyland. And more often than not, Chilliwack’s students are passing the bar. Starting in Grade 10, students have the option of joining the Secondar y Apprenticeship Program. It’s a perfect option for kids who love working with their hands. The program works in conjunction with regular school schedules, and students earn credit — and money — while they learn on the job. Right now, Leyland has eight students working for him, out of his staff of 105 employees. He works hard to find the right placement for them, and they put in about three shifts a week. If a student works hard, and wants to follow through to become a Red Seal chef, they can accomplish that goal by the time they’re 20 years old, Leyland said. But even for those who don’t want to achieve Red Seal certification, it’s a fine way to gain course credits, complete the requisite work hours for graduation, and to possibly save money for post secondary edu-

District just received $30,000 from the Industr y Training Authority for the Secondar y School Apprenticeship program support for the 2015/16 school year. In 2014-15, 1048 students registered in SSA programs across B.C. representing an increase of more than 10 per cent over the previous year. Elena Schroots is a 2015 Sardis grad, and continues to work for Leyland following graduation. She heard about the program through the district’s apprenticeship coordinator, teacher Colin Mitchell. While she isn’t planning on working in a kitchen forever, she’s enjoyed the opportunity to work her way through high school, and to continue working through university. Unsure what the future will bring yet, this semester Schroots is studying psychology and English part time at UFV. But back at work, she’s one of the bakers behind the scenes. Earl’s makes its own breads, desserts and pastries from scratch, right on site. She’s one of Leyland’s top bakers, and proud to see how she’s improved over the years. On top of knowing her way around a busy, industrial kitchen, Schroots said the opportunity has given her work skills you can’t get in the classroom. “I learned how to self evaluate,” she says, in a way that only real life work can prepare you for. She can see where her weaknesses are, and know that it only means she needs to improve. And it helps that the kitchen is a little more laid back than television leads us all to believe. “I think the perception is probably more than the reality,” Leyland says. “Yes it is hard work but it’s also very rewarding.”

IPL Question: I have noticed that my skin is looking dull and I have some sun spots that have appeared. What can I do? Answer: Over the years sun damage causes us to have broken capillaries and sun spots which can make us look 10 years older. We have various ways to improve skin texture and tone. We can start by using a combination of physician grade treatment products which include Vitamin A, hydroquinone and sunblock as well as IPL (Intense Pulsed Light). Usually 3 - 5 treatments are necessary. If you are interested in a more aggressive treatment we can combine physician grade products, IPL and Fraxel laser – the combination will enhance each others results. You will need to continue protecting yourself from the sun and use sunblocks, hats and sunglasses to maintain the results. Dr. Marianna Snyman

All proceeds from the money raised over the next four months will go towards helping the 28 community partners and other organizations and programs that fall under the three pillars of United Way Fraser Valley. The three pillars are: helping children be all they can be, moving people from poverty to possibility, and building strong communities. “It’s really exciting to see the community get behind a local not-forprofit like United Way,” said executive director Wayne Green. “Not only do we provide a safety net of services, we also invest in spe-

One in three Fraser Valley residents use the services supported by United Way. For more information about United Way, go to www.uwfv.bc.ca.

The bench boss had heard beforehand that Salmon Arm was a big and physical team, and he wanted to see how McCarthy

would respond. The big man ended the game with seven minutes in penalties, five for kneeing and two for slashing.

“We know he can move well and move the puck. We know he has good offensive instincts,” Tatarnic noted. “His growth will come on

the defensive side, being physical around our net and being tougher to play against. I thought he took the first step against Salmon Arm.” “When you see a sixfoot-seven guy playing like that, other players will take notice.” McCarthy is one piece of a tremendously promising blueline core. Four returnees — Bennett Morrison, Olivier Arseneau Mark Esposito and Dennis Cholowski — are joined by newcomers McCarthy, Zach Giuttari and Austin Adam. Though his team has coughed up 19 goals through four games, Tatarnic believes his group has the potential to be the league’s best. “They made some mistakes last weekend, but this is all new for Adam and McCarthy and Giuttari,” he said. “We’ve decided to be more aggressive this year and there’s an adjustment going on for everyone back there, including the veterans.” The D-core may get even better in the days ahead if Tatarnic gets his way on a pair of transactions.

The Chilliwack Chiefs could get a huge boost with a pair of familiar faces potentially returning to the fold. Abbotsford native Mitch Skapski has cleared waivers in the Western Hockey League and has begun skating with the Chiefs. The diminutive forward played in Chilliwack for half the 2012-13 season before heading to the Everett Silvertips. Skapski collected three goals and five points his first time around and

comes back now as a potential impact player. Now 19 years old, he split his WHL time between three franchises. After playing 35 games for the Silvertips he went to the Victoria Royals and then the Saskatoon Blades, finishing his WHL tenure with six goals, 19 points and 113 penalty minutes in 143 games. Carter Cochrane also looks to be returning to the Chiefs. The dynamic D-man has been set free by the WHL’s

Tri-City Americans, who were unable to trade the 19 year old Kamloops native. Through 55 games with Chilliwack during the 201314 BCHL campaign he tallied 16 goals and 47 points. “Plus, we are working on something else too, which may go through or it may not,” Tatarnic said mysteriously. “I can tell you if it goes through we add another really good player to our hockey team, and when I look at our lineup, the end product is exciting.” See chilliwackchiefs.net

There were bitter feelings left when David Jacobson and his Chilliwack Chiefs were bounced from the BCHL playoffs by the Vees last spring, and a chance for revenge looms large Friday night. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

Early season stumbles part of process While the Chiefs record may not look impressive, I like what I’ve seen from this team, writes Jacob Bestebroer The Chiefs along with all the other 16 BCHL teams are in Chilliwack this weekend to take part in the fourth annual BCHL Showcase. Previous events were held over three days with games played on both ice surfaces. That is no longer the case with the event now running four days, beginning on Thursday with 16 of the 17 games played on Prospera Centre’s main ice surface. Day passes can be purchased at the door for $15. The full schedule can be found on either the Chiefs or BCHL website. The Chiefs opponents this weekend are the Penticton Vees Friday and the Victoria Grizzlies Saturday. Note the start

time for both is 7:30 p.m. It’s no surprise that the Vees, the defending league champions are again a serious contender for the BCHL title. They have two players, forward Tyson Jost, and defenceman Dante Fabbro that could hear their names called in the first round of the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. The last time a BCHL team had two players picked in the first round was 2004 when Salmon Arm Silverbacks forwards Travis Zajac and Kris Chucko were selected. Heading into the weekend the Grizzlies (0-3-00) are one of two BCHL teams without a win. The Prince George Spruce Kings have lost their first four games.

While the Chiefs record may not look impressive, with a win and a tie through their first four games, I really like what I’ve seen from this team. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen a more deceiving score than the 8-3 loss the Chiefs suffered in Vernon last Saturday. The Chiefs outshot the Vipers 45-29 and were the better team in the game’s final 40 minutes. Early in the third period, down by four, the Chiefs started taking the risks they needed to take to give themselves a remote chance of coming back. The Vipers final two goals were the result of that, with one coming on a three-on-nothing break and the other one into an empty net. The Chiefs passed a character test Sunday afternoon in Salmon Arm. The Silverbacks entered that game 3-0-0-0 and had beaten and outshot the visiting Coquitlam Express 62-17 the night before.

They are a big tough team and right from the get go the Chiefs matched their physicality. The league’s newest team, the Wenatchee Wild are in the Mainland division and are showing early signs of being dominant. Because they are an American based team they have different roster rules. Prior to joining the BCHL they played in the North American Hockey League and any players they had last season were grandfathered in and not subject to the usual import rules. The Wild plowed through the exhibition and early regular season games with a combined record of 6-0-0-0 while outscoring their opponents 32-5. After this weekend the Chiefs host the Surrey Eagles on Wednesday Sept. 30 and the Langley Rivermen on Saturday Oct. 3. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Clapp shot under 70 in three of those rounds, including a scorching 64 in the third round. But the hole he dug with a rough second-round 76 left him too far back of the leaders to make a charge.

Chilliwack’s A1 peewee Bruins dropped a tough one last weekend, losing 3-2 to Kamloops in exhibition action. The locals fell behind 14:31 into period one, but battled back on a goal by Landen Gourlie. Lucas Bourdon picked up the assist. The teams traded goals again in the second period, with Owen Hopcott lighting the lamp for Chilliwack on a beautiful backhand shot. Kamloops scored the decisive goal on a third period power play, then withstood a late charge by the Chilliwackians. The Bruins pulled goalie Cole Mayes with 1:10 to go and finished the game with a twoman advantage after a Kamloops penalty. But they couldn’t net the equalizer.

Black Press has opportunities for Bindery Workers at our Delta location to assist with the mechanical insertion of advertising flyers into our Lower Mainland newspapers. Applicants must be available to work a variety of scheduled evening and night shifts. Additionally, successful applicants will need to be available on a call-in basis.

November 15, 1957 – September 18, 2015

Poulsen, Arne Peder

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our loving Dad, Grandpa, Brother, Uncle and Friend, Arne Peder Poulsen on September 13, 2015 at Vancouver, BC. Survived by his children; Patti (Randy) Isaak; Tony (Tracey) Poulsen; Karen (Harry) Hubner; Lori (John) Pazar. His grandchildren; Dustin (Amy), Dayna (Rob), Eric, Travis, Amber, Jessie, Alex, Jakob and Paige. Great grandchildren; Madyson, Mackenna, Molly, Gavin, Anora, Kassidy, and Kyla. Sister Kirstene and several nieces and nephews in Denmark. Predeceased by his brothers Verner, Oskar, Ejner ; sister Helga and both his parents. Dad was born January 26, 1927 in Lunde, Denmark the youngest of six children. In 1950 at a young age he got the travel bug and travelled to the United States on a farming visa. He worked in Wisconsin and California before having to return to Denmark. In 1956 he returned this time to Canada and worked on farms in Alberta before taking a trip to Vancouver with another farmhand. When his money ran out in the city he took the train to Chilliwack to find work on a farm in the Fraser Valley. It is here that he settled and became a Canadian citizen. He worked for a time on the railway but ultimately retired from the DND as a civilian on the base in Chilliwack in 1992. Dad was a quiet man, so organized and very independent. He loved his family and was always there for everyone. He never missed an opportunity to go for a coffee but by far his greatest joy came from spending time with his children and grandchildren enjoying the many family dinners that we all shared together. He was a proud man and we are thankful that he was able to enjoy a lifetime of good health as his independence was of the utmost importance to him. Rest in Peace Dad. No service at this time by request. In lieu of flowers donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of B.C. or charity of your choice would be appreciated. - you will be forever in our hearts McLean’s, (604)847-3477

Behind all sadness is the fear of there not being enough time. Words really cannot express the feelings of loss we have for our mom. As was in Kim’s nature, she was a fighter right until the end, refusing to let up or ask for help because of her health. In Kim’s last weeks she enjoyed time with her family and friends around the province, ticking off items on her bucket list, including horseback riding and zip lining for the 1st time. Kim will always be remembered for her willingness to help others, her love of taking pictures and enthusiasm to hit up a dance floor. Kim is survived by her loving family: husband Rune, mother Bernice, brother Bill, sister Teresa, children Kara (sp. Jess), Karmen, Christen (sp. Barry), Jeremy and her grandchildren Ethan, Wyatt, Colton, Isaac, Cassandra, Samantha and Anndee-Lee. Mom, you are sadly missed but you will never be forgotten. A memorial service will be held at Cultus Lake Memorial Church (74 Fir St., Cultus Lake) at 1pm on Saturday, October 3rd. In lieu of flowers, please donate to The British Columbia Lions Society For Children with Disabilities. 09-15_OB25
