School board makes historic acknowledgment
■ I N T IME F OR T HANKSGIVING
Jessica Peters The Progress School trustees have made a small but significant change to their meeting protocol that will acknowledge local First Nation history. At the beginning of each board meeting, they will acknowledge that they are carrying out their work on traditional Sto:lo territory. It’s an announcement that’s already made at many larger ceremonial events, such n aas awards nights This iis th Thi the h and graduations, formally traditional and informally land of the in speeches. But after a brief Sto:lo people discussion and a failed amendment, it will now ~ Dan become a regular Coulter opening statement at meetings, as well. The motion was presented by Trustee Dan Coulter, and supported by Trustees Barry Neufeld, Walt Krahn and Paul McManus. Trustees Heather Maahs and Silvia Dick, board chair, both opposed the motion, preferring an amended version that asked board to support making the same announcement only once a year, at the first meeting in September. The differences of opinions sparked a short debate on the purpose of the statement, and drew some passionate arguments on either side. When challenged by Maahs on who the statement was referring to, and what land the statement was speaking to, Coulter said it could apply to the entire school district. “The beauty of this motion is that it’s the truth and there is nothing wrong with telling the truth,” he said. “This is the traditional land of the Sto:lo people.” Maahs called the motion to acknowledge the Sto:lo land history “condescending” and argued that it wouldn’t help with the education of students — the board’s main goal.

Candidates trade shots at Culture Centre debate Jessica Peters The Progress A young girl named Cadence stepped up the microphone Wednesday night, facing the full panel of six federal election candidates. She had waited a half hour to reach the microphone, and it will be years before she will be old enough to mark a ballot. Neither of these things stopped her from addressing what she sees as the biggest problem in Chilliwack — homelessness. As was the rule with everyone stepping up to the microphone at the All Candidates Debate at the
Chilliwack Cultural Centre, she had to address just one candidate. She chose the NDP’s Seonaigh MacPherson, and asked what could be done better at the Yale Road overpass near McDonald’s. MacPherson then asked the child what she would want to do about it. Cadence wasn’t sure. “I have to walk by them on my way to the Leisure Centre,” Cadence said. “The fence doesn’t help. They’re still there, you know. They’re still there.” While someone on the panel noted that it’s more of a city problem, federal funding was given to 15 communities to deal with homelessness — but not Chilliwack.

After asking the young girl what she would do about the problem, MacPherson then explained the NDP’s housing strategy. Green Party candidate Thomas Cheney took the question on as well, saying that it would cost less to house the homeless than to allow them to live on the streets. “The City of Chilliwack’s approach is heartless,” he said. “It’s an embarrassment to the community.” But that was about as hyperlocal as the questions got in the two-and-a-half hour debate. Most of the questioning — from the microphone but also taken via Twitter and delivered by mod-

erator Paul Henderson — focused on national issues such as the economy, terrorism, daycare policies, Canada Post, and the TransPacific Partnership deal. Liberal candidate Louie DeJaeger pointed out that “nobody is going to know what’s in that deal (TPP) until after the election.” Cheney, who has a minor in economics, said that free trade has not proven itself in the past and that jobs will be lost if the 12-country trade deal goes through.

Chilliwack takes aim at monster homes on farm land Greg Knill The Progress Chilliwack city council is moving to prevent large residential homes from using up valuable agricultural land in the city. It is considering a bylaw revision that would regulate the footprint and location of homes on agricultural property. Called the Farm Home Plate Bylaw, the new rules reflect growing pressure on agricultural land as people move from the crowded urban core to areas like Chilliwack, where land is less expensive and more available. “We stand at risk of losing more agricultural land
to big homes that are glorified hobby farms,” said Councilor Chris Kloot. The issue was flagged as a priority during a recent strategic planning meeting of the city’s agricultural advisory committee. It echoes earlier concerns contained in the Chilliwack’s Agricultural Area Plan about protecting the city’s agricultural land base. The concern is not new. Other city’s within the Lower Mainland have adopted similar bylaws to protect their farmland. The regulations are aimed at deterring homes that are set well back from the road, with large driveways that meander through the heart of a property. Or
homes with large lawns and extensive landscaping that use up otherwise arable farmland. “Smaller agricultural parcels are especially affected by large setbacks,” a city staff report says, “as a large portion of land is taken by residential home plate uses, including principle and secondary dwellings, tennis courts, swimming pools, garages, and landscaped gardens. In some cases, houses are set back as far as 150 meters to over 400 meters from the road, with residential home plates ranging from two to three acres in size.” The city is looking at a series of options that would limit the size and location
of the farm home plate – measures that would govern setbacks, and establish maximum coverages (2,000 square meters for a principal residence, for example). There would be some flexibility, said councillor Sam Waddington. Property owners would be able to apply for a variance, just like they can under current zoning bylaws. Councillor Kloot said the measures are needed and necessary. “I think it’s important that we take a stand to protect our agricultural land for future generations,” he said. But it is important the city also move cautiously. “Go slow, but do it right.” The City is seeking public

input on the bylaw revision. The issue will be raised at a series of rural community open houses hosted by the rural engagement advisory committee. They will be held in Yarrow on
Oct. 13, Ryder Lake Oct. 15, Rosedale Oct. 27 and Greendale Oct. 29. The public is also invited to take part in an online survey at www.surveymonkey. com/r/farmhomeplate.

Chilliwack Connect serves hundreds Sam Bates The Progress Chilliwack Connect took place on Saturday, Oct. 3 at the First Avenue Christian Assembly. Nearly 600 guests took part in this all-day event that provided connection, resources, pampering and support to people who need it. The day was “very successful” and went off without a hitch, said Richard Niezen, Secretar y and Facilities Coordinator with the Chilliwack Connect Committee. “People were really happy with how the day went and the services that were provided.” Service providers from a range of fields were available to provide support, connections and helpful resources to all those who attended. Many of the guests took advantage of Connect’s pampering stations, including

hair washing, cutting and styling, makeup application and foot care. “One of the first stations to fill up right away was the photography,” Niezen said. More than 60 portraits were taken for guests to capture the memories of the special day. Guests were provided with breakfast and hot roast beef lunch prepared by Chilliwack Secondary School. About 725 meals were served and no leftovers went to waste as volunteers packed up any extra for guests to take with them. In addition, people had access to a nurse, chiropractor, child care services and racks and racks of clothing, free for guests to pick from and pack into their bags. Niezen said that all of the complimentary amenities were a pleasant surprise to the guests, who asked, “wow, we get to take this whole bag with us?” Kids were provided with drawstring
backpacks filled with goodies, and people even got to take away a festive pumpkin for the season, provided by God’s Little Acre Farm in Surrey. Niezen and the committee would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the volunteers, businesses, churches and individuals who donated finances, amenities and volunteer hours. Notable donors include Hofstede’s Country Barn, Island Farms, the Chilliwack Real Estate Board and the First Avenue Christian Assembly. With all of their generosity, “we were able to bless even more people and provide them with more to take with them,” Niezen said gratefully. The Chilliwack Connect Committee will meet for a debriefing in the next few weeks, where they will already begin planning for next year.
There was one empty seat at the school board table on Tuesday night, but the spirit of the woman who filled it for 25 years permeated the room. It was the first regular meeting following Trustee Martha Wiens’ death on Sept. 23, and her colleagues openly grieved their loss — both as a friend and as a stalwart champion of Chilliwack’s students. At the outset of the meeting, board chair Silvia Dyck addressed Wiens’ passing. “We’d like to address the empty chair in the room. It’s a difficult meeting for us all,” she started. “Our school district is grieving the loss of a very wonderful trustee. In the school district, she was everybody’s grandmother and we will carry on as best we can.” Several flags at Chilliwack Martha Wiens was schools and board offices a Chilliwack school have flown at half-mast over trustee for more the past few weeks, to hon- than 25 years. our Wiens and her tireless efforts to visit and be a part of the schools’ activities. Trustee Heather Maahs broke down in tears recalling the memory of Wiens and her dedication to local schools, students, staff and families. “She has left some very deep boots to fill,” Maahs said But the business of running the school district must carry on, and a byelection is coming up in the near future to fill her empty seat. “We are compelled to do this today,” Trustee Walt Krahn said, before making the motion to get the byelection process started. The issue was added to the agenda a late item, and Krahn noted they are “forced by legislation” to deal with it in a specific time frame. Carol Friesen from the City of Chilliwack has been named as the Chief Election Officer for the byelection.

Federal candidates face voter questions VOTER from Front deal, too. Trade deals only benefit investors, not middle class families and farmers, she said. Canada is already running an “extreme trade deficit,” she added. “Our imports are outpacing our exports. We’re allowing imports to flood our marketplace.” Several people asked about international arms deals, and questioned Conservative candidate Mark Strahl on his government’s role in Syria. “There’s a reason we’re participating in bombing,” Strahl said, and that reason is ISIL. “They torture and behead children. They rape and kill women,” he said, and then record it and “brag about it” by sending those images around the world, encouraging more hate. “We have a responsibility to protect the innocent,” he said. “That is what we are doing here.” But that explanation didn’t fly with all the candidates, least of all Libertarian Alexander Johnson. “Don’t believe the fear mongering,” he told the audience. “Bring our troops back here so we are not creating enemies around the world.” MacPherson said Canada has no place fighting in areas like Syria.

“We have interfered in areas we don’t really understand,” she said, and De Jaeger noted that what Canada needs is “more peacekeepers.” Strahl also heard several complaints that he’s not been accessible as the elected MP over the past term, both from people at the microphone and from fellow candidates. He was absent at recent all candidates debate held by the Sto:lo Nation, and won’t be attending the UFV student-led debate. “You are the aboriginal parliamentary secretary, and you didn’t even have the guts to show up!” De Jaeger said, loudly
and over applause from the audience. Lisa Morry asked what Strahl could bring to the community if he were elected, but Conservatives failed to form a majority. He noted that he helped fight for supply management during the TPP negotiations, has worked with local farmers “with onerous red tape,” and helped secure funding for infrastructure on major projects in the riding. Later in the evening, he noted to another person at the microphone that the job of MP means spending about 22 or 23 weeks at work in Ottawa, which pulls
them away from their communities. “No matter who gets elected, that’s the reality,” he said. The Chilliwack-Hope riding is becoming smaller with this election, and he hopes that his presence will be felt more in those communities if re-elected, he said. The next All Candidates Meeting will be held Oct. 15, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. sponsored by the Chilliwack Chamber at the Coast Hotel, 45920 First Avenue. (Paid lunch, free entry at 12:20.) General election day is Oct. 19.

Election 2015: Tories talk tough on crime, justice Jeff Nagel Black Press Innocent victims slain over the past year in Surrey and Abbotsford, along with dozens of gang-linked shootings, have made crime a hot topic in the federal election campaign. All three major parties have promised to add more police to fight gang crime, including Liberal and NDP vows to immediately deploy 100 more Mounties in Surrey. But the Conservatives continue to project themselves as toughest on crime. Leader Stephen Harper has vowed to reintroduce a lapsed “life means life” bill to take away any chance at parole for the worst murderers. It comes on top of earlier reforms, like the stacking of parole eligibility periods so a quadruple murderer can now be made to wait 100 years for a shot at getting out. Other key changes have reduced the scope to use house arrest rather than jail, and reduced parole leniency for nonviolent offenders. But the Harper crime agenda has been reined in by the courts, which have limited government attempts to impose more minimum sentences, most notably strik-
ing down mandatory three-year terms for gun crimes. The government also tried to erase the practice of granting double credit for remand time served in jail before trial, but the Supreme Court of Canada has allowed judges to continue to grant 1.5 days credit for each day served. “The Supreme Court’s decisions have hobbled or at the very least bridled the Conservatives’ law-and-order agenda,” SFU criminologist Rob Gordon said. He’s among the observers who warn the lock-em-up-longer approach threatens to cost Canada billions of dollars more to imprison convicts, as well as more protracted fights in the courts that will mainly benefit constitutional lawyers. One of the newest Conservative campaign promises is to create a list of gangs to make prosecuting members easier without first having to prove in each case that the group is a criminal organization. Gordon doubts it will work because, in the case of the Hells Angels, not every member of the gang is involved in serious organized crime. Other new Tory promises pledge two-year minimum sentences for fraudsters with multiple
victims unless there’s full restitution, and easing the burden of evidence in prosecuting drunk drivers, although it’s unclear whether that would reverse B.C.’s recent shift from impaired prosecutions to roadside penalties. Despite the intense spotlight on warring gangs, criminologists like Gordon point out crime rates have actually been declining for decades. “Crime is falling and so is the rate of severe crimes,” he said. The reason isn’t
Conser vative policy, he said, but societal changes, particularly the demographic shift that’s left proportionally fewer young men who are most prone to crime. Technology has helped. There are more theft-resistant cars, alarm-protected homes, and video cameras poised to record crimes than ever before. And youth who were once more apt to find trouble outside may be increasingly diverted now by online distractions that keep them indoors or staring at screens.
What would work to further cut crime? Gordon lists marijuana reform and an end to the Lower Mainland’s patchwork system of RCMP and municipal police jurisdictions. Advocates have repeatedly called for more wraparound services to help intercept and rehabilitate prolific offenders, as well as better addiction treatment, education, gang prevention initiatives, and even anti-poverty measures like housing for the homeless. Gordon said such
social policy strategies hold promise, but don’t resonate with voters as well as hawkish rhetoric, and politicians who propose them may be denounced as soft on crime. The NDP would decriminalize marijuana, while the Liberals and Greens would legalize it and tax it. Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has said he may repeal some mandatory minimums on sentencing, which he said should be reserved for serious and violent offences.
Liberals have pledged to tighten access to handguns and restricted firearms, and devote $100 million a year to anti-gang task forces to target gun and gang violence. The NDP have said they’d strive to emphasize rehabilitation and reintegration of prisoners. NDP leader Tom Mulcair has also pledged $250 million for a police recruitment fund and to invest $40 million to reverse cuts to shelters for women fleeing violence.

Board acknowledgement of Sto:lo territory sparks debate STO:LO from Front “This is just paying lip service to something that is a politically correct statement right now,” Maahs said. Dyck was supportive
of the idea, but not the frequency, considering it would be acknowledged to mostly the same people around the table and in the meeting gallery. “To me this doesn’t make sense to do it so
frequently,” she said, adding that the work they do with students on a daily basis speaks louder than a statement. “We’re so engaged in this reality that to repeat it every two weeks, to
me, is odd and unnecessary,” she said. “We would be preaching to the converted.” But Coulter pressed on, and found support in the other three trustees. “Saying one sentence
is hardly arduous or invasive,” Coulter said. “I don’t know if we are converted, if we can’t say it every two weeks. No one is going to light up in flames. No one’s teeth are going to hurt.
It’s painless and it’s the truth.” He underlined that board meetings are important, and a place where important decisions are made, reported on, and acted upon.
McManus said that acknowledging the Sto:lo connection at the outset of every meeting would help the board “stay focused on what’s important.” While the aboriginal achievement rates are better than others in the province, they still aren’t where they need to be, he added. After the meeting, Coulter told The Progress that the idea to acknowledge traditional Sto:lo territory has been in the works for a while. “I had floated the idea before to the board in planning meetings,” he said. Coulter sits on Aboriginal Advisor y Committee meetings, where a protocol has been developed that provides direction on local First Nation culture. “It’s just becoming done more and more,” Coulter said. “The board meetings are important, we are the governance body of the school district, and it’s a nice gesture. It shows that we understand. It shows recognition and respect.” The Fraser Cascade School District (Hope and Agassiz) also already acknowledges “indigenous territory” at the start of their meetings. The Government of Canada goes one step further, Coulter noted. “They say the land is unceded, and not just traditional territory.”
Byelection race draws its first candiate BYELECTION from page 3 The date for the byelection has been set for Dec. 12, with two chances for advance polling. Friesen said nomination papers could be picked up starting yesterday, Oct. 8. Those need to be filed between Oct. 27 at 9 a.m. and Nov. 6 at 4 p.m. At least one person has thrown their name out as a candidate.

FHA youth stabilization unit delayed until 2017 to the adolescent psychiatry unit at SMH or one of the adult psych units, which is not ideal. The $4.7-million CAPSU unit will serve the entire region, nearly tripling the province’s capacity to deal with kids in crisis. It will be built in the old emergency department of Surrey Memorial Hospital. Contributions of $1 million from Cloverdale Paint and $300,000 from Coast Capital Savings through Surrey’s hospital foundation are to enhance the facility with decor, furnishings and other components beyond the basic budget. The foundation has a target of $2 million under its Kids Mental Health Matters campaign at championsforcare. com. Suicide is the second leading cause of death among 15to 24-year-olds in B.C. after car crashes. B.C. Nurses Union president Gayle Duteil said Fraser should reopen an adolescent psych unit in Abbotsford that was shut down in 2009. “Fraser Heath has repeatedly stated the new teen mental health unit in Surrey would be open in 2016,” Duteil said. “Telling youth and their families who are in crisis that they’ll have
Jeff Nagel Black Press It will take longer than originally thought to open a new 10-bed unit in Surrey to stabilize potentially suicidal children and teens in mental health crisis. Fraser Health had aimed to open the new Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Stabilization Unit (CAPSU) by the fall of 2016, but that estimate has been pushed back to spring of 2017. Health authority officials say they had to wait for final approval from the province – which did not come until last spring – and have since determined the 2016 target was too optimistic. Once open, the state-of-the-art unit will take children and youth aged six to 17 who are in crisis with acute psychiatric problems for short stays of five to seven days. Fraser Health is home to more young people than any other health region yet it has no shortstay stabilization unit for youth. Children in crisis must instead go to a six-bed unit in Vancouver at B.C. Children’s Hospital, if it’s available, or else they’re treated in a hospital pediatric ward or in emergency. Adolescents can go

to wait a year and a half for a bed is not safe patient care.” Fraser spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the adolescent psych unit in Abbotsford was underused and youth who needed it could be treated at Surrey’s adolescent psych unit. So the Abbotsford unit was converted to an adolescent day treatment program. She said the CAPSU unit will be a significant improvement when it opens, but rejected suggestions youth mental health services are unacceptable in the meantime. “No child is turned away,” Juma said. “We have a whole network of services.” An Abbotsford mother with a suicidal daughter in need of inpatient care spoke out at a Fraser Health board meeting last month, demanding swifter action. A coroner’s inquest is planned into the suicides of three people – one of them a 19-yearold – who took their lives after being released from Abbotsford Regional Hospital. Fraser Health hospitals have seen the number of emergency visits by young people with mental health problems double over the past five years.

The many benefits of being thankful
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
Thanksgiving is a time when we are all supposed to count our blessings, but it shouldn’t — and doesn’t — have to be the only time. Study after study has shown that cultivating a sense of gratitude for the good things in our life is beneficial to our health, both mental and physical. For instance, research by Robert Emmons, a psychology professor at the University of California and Lisa Aspinwall, a psychology professor at the University of Utah, shows grateful people are more likely to have friends, less likely to obsess over their problems, to sleep better, take better care of themselves, cope better with stress and feel generally happier. One tip the experts suggest to encourage that feeling of thankfulness is writing a few minutes in a gratitude journal before turning in for the night. Emmons found that people who kept a journal to list five things they felt grateful for each night reported fewer health problems and greater optimism than those who didn’t. Gratitude, the researchers say, is about refusing to allow the negatives to interfere with the positives. It’s about choosing to be happy. Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel said it well: “For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile.” So did American novelist Alice Walker, who wrote that “‘Thank you’ is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding.” This Thanksgiving, take a few moments to think about what makes you grateful, for the people and experiences that you are thankful for. And then keep on doing it in the days to come. ~ Black Press
L OCALLY G LOBAL
Campaign becoming interesting as the finish line nears With just 10 days to go in this forever election campaign, the tight race has tightened, if polls are anything to go by, as Conservatives and Liberals jockey for that finish line. But what started out with the NDP gaining momentum and the Liberals trailing has now reversed. Leading up to the best-in-show poll efforts, Justin Trudeau was coming off as a lightweight (remember those daft attack ads about his hair and “not being ready”?) Well, he punched above his light weight and showed himself pretty competent in all five debates, capable of taking on Harper and Mulcair. And his campaign managers went after the ads with some more intelligent productions of their own. Trudeau has gone out on a limb with deficit forecasting and economic stimulus in order to
make investments in infrastructure and get people working. He is not going to play in Harper’s balanced budget sandbox and said in August he’d run deficits of up to $10 billion a year for three years. Harper of course promised balanced budgets and actually the Margaret numbers have squeaked out a EVANS surplus of $1.9 billion. No doubt this was strategically planned as a campaign surprise. While budget forecasting might have improved Harper’s standing, his position on the Syrian refugee crisis fell far short. A sharp edge in his attitude left some Canadians feeling a cold chill. This week the
international trade deal, the Trans-Pacific Partnership, was signed by 12 founding nations. But its complexity has still got to be deciphered and ratified by whichever government is elected October 19. Interesting that Presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton gave it a thumbs down, saying there were too many unanswered questions and she feared too many job losses. The NDP is opposed to the deal while the Liberals are refraining from judgment and want to see precise details. Now Harper is off on a niqab rant and an election promise to consider banning the wearing of the face covering for anyone hired for federal service. Why? He wants to ban the niqab not only at citizenship ceremonies but for all employed in public service. It’s not that the Public Service Alliance of Canada, rep-

resenting the majority of federal employees, keeps tabs on how many women actually wear the niqab. Truth is, hardly any. Just months ago, Conservative candidate Jason Kenney said that the government shouldn’t be telling people what to wear. The issue is causing anxiety among some Muslim women who rightly see this as a wedge issue. The Federal Court of Appeal rejected the government’s application to stop a Federal Court decision that ruled in favour of Zunera Ishaq, a Pakistani immigrant, who wished to wear her niqab during her citizenship ceremony. The optics of this don’t do Harper any favour since he’s coming across as running a campaign on the backs of minorities. Recently, a poll of Vancouver’s multicultural population by Insights West showed that 26 per cent of respondents said they
will vote for the Liberal candidate in their riding. The NDP at 23 per cent is a close second and the Conservative Party at 14 per cent. But many (30 per cent) were still undecided. It was interesting that the poll, which was conducted in September among 432 Chinese, South Asian and South Eastern Asian Metro Vancouver residents, showed specific priorities among the electorate including the candidate’s position on issues (59 per cent), the candidate’s political party (21 per cent), their involvement in the community (14 per cent). Also of importance were their ethnicity and their ability to speak a second language. As for Prime Ministerial qualities, Trudeau topped out at 26 per cent, Harper at 21 per cent and Mulcair at 20 per cent.

Winter’s on its way.
The Chilliwack
Progress
The positive side of Parkinson’s There is no cure for Parkinson’s disease. Those of us who suffer from this debilitating disease are able to control some of the symptoms (tremors, trouble walking, stooping over, diminishing voice volume and more), but we need not suffer alone, thanks to the Chilliwack Parkinson’s Support Group. After I was diagnosed four years ago I was in shock. I didn’t even know anyone who had Parkinson’s. I read about it on the internet, but that was the extent of my knowledge. Through a friend I heard of the support group. After attending my first meeting I realized that no longer will I have to face the future alone as I now have a group of friends who are living with Parkinson’s together. In them I saw, not a group of people who were saying “why me,” but a very positive group who shared their experiences with each other and were eager to participate in group discussions, exercises programs and willingly went out of their way to help me understand this disease.
By taking part in the group I no longer need to wonder what will happen next. I also realize how lucky I am to have a form of Parkinson’s that is slow to reach fruition. My tremors began with my right hand. I was working at the time and found it difficult to write properly. A year later I brought this to my doctor’s attention. He arranged for me to meet with a neurologist who confirmed I had Parkinson’s disease. He explained to me that if I had to have it, at least I had the best form of the disease to have as it will be slow to progress. So there was the bad-news, goodnews report. Since joining the Chilliwack Parkinson’s support group I’ve learned that regular exercise can help to control the progression. Other than the medication we take, exercise is key. My wife/ care-giver and I have always been walkers and watched our weight, but since I have contracted Parkinson’s we have become more aware of the importance of a regular exercise regimen. Pre PD we might skip our walk if it
was raining. Since my diagnosis, we no longer allow weather to change our plans. We purchased a recumbent bike that allows us to work out each day regardless of the weather. We walk, kayak and golf as often as we are able. One advantage of belonging to the support group was being able to have as a guest speaker Dr. Kate Roland from the University of Victoria who explained what happens inside our brains when we exercise. This was a real eyeopener and brought home to us just how important daily exercise really is in our quest to slow the progression of PD. Parkinson’s does not play age favourites. It can happen to the young and old alike. If it does happen to you, by all means, come and sit in on the next meeting of the Chilliwack PD support group as it will be a step in the right direction. We meet on the second Tuesday of most months at the Hampton House (45555 Hodgins Ave.) at 2 p.m. Joe MacMillan
Age restriction unfair On average, only 40 per cent of youth ages 18-24 turn up to vote in the federal election. This is a tragic statistic, as the potential change in government primarily affects the futures of these young adults. Many people attribute this lack of voting to laziness or to ignorance. The main reason, however, is that many of Canada’s youth aren’t nearly educated enough on the politics of our country to make an informed decision. Those in the minority that do go out to vote, are prone to voting for whatever party their family affiliates with. Unfortunately, I’m one of the few
children born in 1997 that won’t be able to vote this year. As a politically minded Canadian citizen, I don’t understand why someone born just a week head of me gets the option to have an impact on the way the country is governed, while I do not. I am angered by the fact that I am shut out of this important civil duty, while the majority of my peers choose to be ignorant. The government must change the voting policy to allow for late-year babies. How is it fair that I don’t get to vote, while the rest of my peers do? Kate Fairley

He or she surprisingly took care of the bill for my luncheon hamburger, then disappeared, according to the server when I went to pay.

BC ambulance promptly arrived on scene accompanied by RCMP, where Mills was found to be suffering from life threatening injuries. Mills was transported to Fraser Canyon Hospital where he later died of his injuries. “No family should have to deal with something like this. I can only imagine the type of hell

Port truckers get new overseers Jeff Nagel Black Press Labour mediators Corinn Bell and Vince Ready have been tapped by Transpor tation Minister Todd Stone to take charge of B.C.’s Container Trucking Commissioner’s office. He named Bell acting commissioner and Ready acting deputy commissioner following the resignation last month of former commissioner Andy Smith. Unionized truckers had accused Smith of dragging his feet on forcing container trucking companies to pay their drivers higher rates as well as retroactive pay, as required under legislation that was to bring labour peace to the industry after a monthlong strike in 2014. The office is to take complaints from truckers about pay and other matters, audit companies and penalize the offenders.

Trees-on-farmland program won’t be expanding Tom Fletcher Black Press A British-based manufacturing company is considering switching its B.C. tree-planting program from farmland to areas deforested by fire or pine beetles. Reckitt Benckiser Group plc added another three farms to its B.C. land holdings over the summer, prompting an accusation in the legislature that it was breaking its promise to suspend planting trees on farmland. The company halted the program in June after more than 10,000 ha of farmland in the Peace, Prince George and Cariboo regions were acquired to use as carbon offsets for the company’s worldwide operations. Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington released title documents for a 320 ha grain and cattle farm purchased near Dawson Creek in July, three weeks after the company, now known by its initials RB, said the program was halted. Asked about the timing of the purchase, RB issued a statement saying the company had three signed agreements to buy more B.C. farms when it “paused” its tree planting program to review it. Local governments have objected to productive farmland being reforested, and the effect it would have on farming communities. “No action has been taken on these properties as RB continues to consult British Columbians on the future of this program,” the company said, adding discussions have continued with neighbouring landowners, provincial, local governments and MLAs. “Many have highlighted the need for reforestation on lands that have been depleted by the pine beetle or wildfires,” the company said. “It is an option we are exploring.” Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said he had a presentation from RB, with suggestions about alternatives to planting more trees on farmland.
www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1
“I’m not at liberty yet to disclose those because they were given to us confidentially but I have reason to be optimistic,”
Letnick said. RB’s website says it has planted more than seven million trees in B.C. Letnick said the company has planted
most of the 10,000 ha of farmland it acquired up until this spring, and the three new acquisitions bring the total to 12,000 ha.
RB operates around the world, manufacturing and selling food, household and medical products under brands such as Calgon,
French’s, Clearasil, Dettol, Scholl, Strepsils, Gaviscon and Woolite. It describes its B.C. tree planting program
as a way to offset carbon emissions from its operations, but it does not intend to trade or sell carbon offsets.

As a matter of fact, Canada is the ninth largest Dutch bulb importing country in the Brian world. MINTER I’m sure it would be no surprise if I were to tell you that tulips are the number one bulb we import. You might be interested to hear that gladiolas are right behind and then, way down in quantities but still important, are lilies, hyacinths, narcissus, irises, crocuses, amaryllis, dahlias, freesias and anemones.

some of these bulbs may seem rather odd to the home gardener, but don’t forget, many of these bulbs such as lilies, irises and freesias are grown-on by greenhouse operators for cut flower production. It is, however, becoming more apparent to me each year that we are overlooking some of the very finest bulbs that will add so much value to our gardens. We tend to plant tulips, daffodils and hyacinths in our gardens, while glossing over other bulbs that are actually better longterm investments. A visit to Keukenhof, Holland’s famous spring garden, opened my eyes to the use of minor bulbs. Muscari (grape hyacinths) were used very effectively as borders, underplantings and as drifts of colour under trees and shrubs. There are many varieties but ‘Muscari armeniacum’ is, by far, the most impressive for mass displays. For smaller pockets, you will be dazzled with many fabulous long-lasting perennial varieties like the white M. album, the soft blue ‘Valerie Finnis’, the bi-colour ‘Mount Hood’, M.‘Pink Sunrise’ and even a fragrant yellow called ‘Golden Sunrise’.

There are more to bulbs than tulips and daffodils, says Brian Minter, including the amazing Anemone blanda.
Today, there are also pre-packaged combinations featuring muscari, such as ‘Wind & Tide’, an eye-popping blend of white ‘Thalia’ daffodils and blue muscari. Muscari are hardy in all zones and will tolerate little or no water in summer. This makes them ideal for plantings under large trees where moisture is often a problem. They prefer full sun or partial shade. These bulbs look very effective when mass planted by themselves or used as a contrast with other spring-blooming perennials, bulbs or flowering shrubs. Muscari are long-lasting, have great weather tolerance, and they don’t look untidy as do so many other bulbs when they finish flowering. Most gardeners plant and enjoy lots of the standard yellow, white, blue and striped crocus, but the sweetly scented species varieties are being overlooked. Crocus chrysanthus provide us with some of the most beautiful and interesting crocus colours. They naturalize well and thrive in sun or light shade. They are most effective used in mass plantings in rockeries, borders, lawns and between stepping stones. You will find
the species varieties are more free flowering. For a yearly repeat performance, the earliest bulbs to bloom are the yellow aconites (Eranthis hyemalis) and beautiful snowdrops. Both perennialize nicely and create a more lovely display year after year. The yellows and whites really pop in late winter, lifting our spirits and announcing that spring is on its way! The old-fashioned bluebells, that so many European folks ask for, are actually scillas or squills. All of them flower in clusters on leafless stalks and have either bell-shaped or star-like flowers. I like them best planted in informal groupings among shrubs, deciduous trees or low-growing perennials. They are great in pots too and scillas make lovely cut flowers for tiny bouquets. Scilla siberica seems to be the most popular because of its intense blue, three to six inch flower spikes. If, perchance, you are looking for old-fashioned English bluebells (Scilla nutans), they’re a lot easier to find now. They are very longlasting and do well in partial shade. The real sleeper in all the minor bulbs
is Anemone blanda. These look for all the world like miniature daisies, and I was absolutely in awe when I saw how they were being used in Keukenhof Gardens. The variety called ‘White Splendor’ was used in massive borders and as under-plantings with virtually every type of tulip and narcissus that blooms during their long flowering period. Their white colour tended to lift all the other colours, and when contrasted with the rich green lawns, they were sensational. Anemones also come in blue and pink shades as well as a wonderful pre-packaged combo called appropriately ‘Diamonds & Sapphires’, a blend of white anemones and blue muscari that blooms for a long time. You will find these anemones most pleasing when you plant them under Japanese azaleas, dwarf rhododendrons and Japanese maples. There are still many of these great little minor bulbs we have yet to discover, but I suggest you give the ones I’ve mentioned a try. You won’t be disappointed.

Andrea Laycock: As a recipient of a ‘Community Sport Hero Award’, Andrea Laycock was recognized for her tireless commitment and contribution to youth soccer. The recognition was well deserved because Andrea has dedicated 26 years of her life to both soccer and the young people of our community. Andrea was born and raised in Chilliwack. While her mother was a lab tech hematologist, her father, who worked for the federal government in the area of corrections and investigations, was a classic armchair coach for anything on TV. Perhaps that enthusiasm rubbed off on both Andrea and her younger brother. “I started playing soccer when I was 10 and my brother played Ana both soccer and ball,� she said. MACEDO By the time she graduated, Andrea began coaching soccer and she’s been doing it ever since. “I was playing and refereeing and then I started coaching my youngest cousin, Jeremy. He was only five at the time and was considered too young to play but they allowed him in because he had a coach,� she smiled. After graduating from high school, Andrea began attending what was then Fraser Valley College. “Initially, I wanted to become a teacher. I took history and geography and stuck with it for three years but then I left. I do have three years in so I really should go back and finish off one day,� she laughed. She began working at Bryce’s Shell while she was still in high school and continued to work there through college. After leaving college, she began working there full-time and remained there for 16 years. She has fond memories of those years as well as the recollection of a time when she was both scared and angry. “There was a guy who went on a crime spree during one holiday season and I was held up. The thief ended up taking some cigarettes and the float and he stole my car. I made sure to recall as much as I could about the incident; what he was wearing, where he was standing, what he was doing. More so than being scared, I was just really angry!� Andrea remained calm and collected through the ordeal and had the wherewithal and opportunity to escape through the front door. “This sort of thing really puts stuff in perspective. I went back to work the next day because if I didn’t go back, he would have won,� she said determinedly. Andrea eventually left Bryce’s and Continued: SPORTS/ p15

A commitment to sports and youth Regional District, she returned to the Bruins on a contract basis. She eventually left the FVRD and began working with the Chilliwack Chiefs, upon their return to Chilliwack, and today is both the sales and events manager at Prospera Centre and the office manager for the Chilliwack Chiefs. “It’s a big job but I thoroughly enjoy it. I’m in charge of all ticketing, billeting, merchandising, the 50/50 and I don’t know
how but Barry has me looking after all of the anthem singers,” she laughed. Andrea admits to loving all sports but there is no question that her ultimate passion lies with soccer. Over the last 26 years with Chilliwack FC, she has watched the organization grow substantially from a membership of about 200 when she first started to over 2000 kids today and it is her hope to continue to grow the organization.

started at Stream where she remained for three years. In 2005, Andrea began her association with the Chilliwack Chiefs and that transitioned into a role with the Bruins when they came to town. She enjoyed her work, in addition to keeping busy as chairperson and member of the board of directors for the Chilliwack Football Club (CFC). Then on June 11, 2008 Andrea received shocking and devastating news. “My doctor called me at work and informed me that I had uterine cancer. I can tell you exactly where I was standing when I got the news. All I wanted was my mom but I couldn’t reach her, so the first person that I told was Barry (Douglas) since he was sitting in his office,” she recalled. Nineteen days after the diagnosis, Andrea went in for surgery. She began radiation in October and that was followed up by chemotherapy in November. “I was back at work 4 weeks after my surgery. As soon as I could drive myself, I was back. I can say that when
something like this happens to you, it changes your perspective on life. It really is mind over matter. If you let it get you, you have no chance. I was very fortunate in that I had amazing support – my friends, my family and the fans,” she said gratefully. By 2010, Andrea was ready for a change. She left the Bruins and took on a position with the Fraser Valley Regional District, but a year later, while still with the

Krista Butt, Anita Unger and Laura Reid are the founding directors of the Heritage Chilliwack Society, and will be hosting a self-led Heritage Tour and Tapas throughout historic downtown Chilliwack. Start the tour at the iconic St. Thomas Anglican Church, where the society will be set up with all you need to take part in the tour. Inset: An historic photography of Stonehurst, as it looked in the early 1900s.
A self-guided exploration of Chilliwack’s heritage Jessica Peters The Progress When touring a house built in 1909, it’s best to do so slowly. Look up, look down, and look all around, because our history is written in the smallest of details. In the handsome house known as Stonehurst, there is something to be noted in every room, from the built-in cabinets, to the type of flooring used, and even down to the size of the door frames. It’s a tiny door frame that owner Rob O’Brennan points out while climbing one of the house’s sets of stairs. It’s tucked neatly away, smaller than a door ought to be. “That’s the servant’s staircase,” he says. “It leads to the kitchen.” Of course. This is a house from a different era. When it was built, it had a
view of farmer’s fields all around. Its owner and builder, Chauncy Eckert, would eventually plot out ways to subdivide the lot into blocks we are all now familiar with today. He would operate his business from the corner office, and many of the decisions he made there helped shape this community. Eckert famously placed an ad in a Winnipeg newspaper calling for farming families to head west for land. One night, 20 Mennonite families arrived, and were eventually settled on Eckert’s land in Yarrow. It’s interesting history that comes right back to life when traipsing through the buildings of that era. And while these buildings remain all around the area, only a handful have heritage designation. Stonehurst is one of them, and is one of the six buildings that will be open during Heritage Chilliwack’s

Heritage Tour and Tapas event, Saturday, Oct. 17. Stonehurst was once La Mansione Restaurante, and before that acted as a boarding house. So getting the house back to its heritage state has been a hefty job for O’Brennan and his wife, Gwyneth. But they are experienced at living in and caring for old homes. O’Brennan has advice for anyone considering delving into buying a heritage home . “The most important thing is when you move into the house, live in it for six months before you do anything to it,” he said. The second most important? “If you live in it for six months and still want to wreck it, just sell it to someone else.” He has heard plenty of stories of houses being ruined by eager homebuyers, and each one breaks

his heart a little bit. The homes offer that glimpse into history that you can feel, he said. You can immerse yourself in another era. “The best parts of this house are the old parts,” he notes. Although not everything is an antique. There are upgrades, fixes, redesigns, and so on, and while touring he points out all the projects he still wants to complete. Becoming a heritage site doesn’t mean you can’t make these changes, he underlines. And this is an important factor, since many people may turn away from purchasing a heritage site, or from having their own property designated. But without that designation, he says, developers can easily tear down all that history. And that would be a shame, considering the way homes were built in Chilliwack’s heyday.

“A home like this is structurally sound,” he said. “There is no reason it won’t be here another 100 years.” O’Brennan is thrilled to be on the Heritage Tour, which directly supports Heritage Chilliwack Society. The tour takes place in the vicinity of Chilliwack’s first subdivision, Mountain View Subdivision, in the area of Gore, Nowell, First Avenue and Young. First developed in 1909, Mountain View was part of the original Nowell Estate and it was Chauncey Eckert, Chilliwack entrepreneur who was instrumental in establishing the Mountain View district.

Chilliwack foster parents reflect on a lifetime of caring October is Foster Parents Month MJ Samson spends her days chasing after an active and mischievous toddler on her ten acre farm near Chilliwack. “This child is a going concern,” she says affectionately. “She’s running from the time her little feet hit the floor in the morning – I don’t bother tidying up until bedtime!” MJ and her husband have been foster parents to vulnerable children in the Chilliwack area for the past 15 years. Prior to that, they fostered in Saskatchewan. Already
parents to four children of their own, the couple didn’t originally plan to open their hearts and home to children in the foster care system. “We knew a young family who could no longer care for one of their children and asked us to take the child temporarily,” recalls MJ. “Unfortunately, we weren’t approved foster parents and the child was placed elsewhere – it was at that time we did what we needed to do to become foster parents.” Over the years, MJ and her husband have provided a safe, loving and stable foster home to approximately 70 children, many
of whom continue to stay in touch. MJ proudly shares that one of the kids who came to live with them as a small child is now 21 years old and studying to become a social worker. “Obviously, our hope is these kids can someday return to their families and that together, they can flourish,” she says. “However, while they are with us, our commitment is to providing our foster children with the healthiest and most positive steps forward in life.” Six years ago, MJ became involved with the Chilliwack Safe Babies Program, which provides education, support, and training
to foster parents who care for substance-exposed infants. Since then, she has fostered four newborn babies. “Being a foster parent is not without its challenges – but the rewards are so great,” she says. “It’s like watching a metamorphosis when a substance-addicted newborn transforms into a happy, healthy and thriving toddler who is running and jumping and saying her very first words. Knowing we have played an important role in that transformation is incredibly rewarding.” MJ says one of the most difficult things about being a foster
parent is saying goodbye when a foster child returns to his or her family, leaves to live with extended family, or makes the transition to an adoptive family. Prior to each departure, she writes a letter to the child explaining what it was like when the child walked through the front door and into her life and how she hopes they will always stay in touch. While MJ and her husband have loved being foster parents to so many children over the past 20 years, they admit as they get older their energy levels have waned. In fact, many of British Columbia’s Continued: FOSTER/ p27

Perspectives
A mentally healthy workplace What’s a mentally healthy workplace? That question has become a topic of discussion at the Chilliwack Healthier Community Task Group on Mental Health. A growing body of evidence demonstrates that attention to workplace mental health leads to a more productive workforce. For instance, studies have shown that workplace mental health interventions have decreased Rob absenteeism and presenteeism, LEES while increasing productivity. “What is presenteeism?” you might ask. Presenteeism happens when you are at work, but your mind is not fully on your work. You are present in body, but not in spirit. If a worker is suffering from a low-level depression, they may not be fully engaged with the task at hand, which in turn leads to decreased productivity. In some jobs, presenteeism can also lead to safety concerns. Simple screening for low-level depression can give workers useful feedback. They may not have recognized their own struggles, even if they have been evident to everyone around them. A report simply titled
Return on Investment details benefits from thoughtful, intentional workplace strategies for improved mental health. The report claims that 79% of longterm disability claims and 75% of short-term disability claims are due to mental health challenges. Armed with this knowledge, there are a range of strategies that have been proven effective. Sometimes the best answers are the simplest ones. Fraser Health Practice Support Coordinator Ron Plowright says, “Talk about it.” Creating a climate where people can be genuine and talk about their worries can make the workplace feel real and accepting. Although the tide seems to be changing, old stereotypes regarding mental health often prevail, and the stigmas associated with mental health challenges can often create more stress for those who are struggling. Open dialogue can greatly minimize this stress. At the Chilliwack Healthier Communities Mental Health Task Group, we learned about the strategies that some small businesses in Chilliwack are using. For example, Hallmark Promotions provides a massage once a week for employees. A doctor talked about a recognition program at the hospital that encourages people to write about positive experiences with

others when they go above and beyond or stand out in their care. A local meat-processing plant holds several events a year for staff and their families. Formally recognizing a job well done and encouraging selfcare for staff lead to a supportive workplace that cares about the people within it. These values are at the core of good mental health. The local manager in my office, Dan Bibby, puts a lot of energy into staff recognition, and has encouraged an active social committee that hosted BBQs at lunch a few times in the summer, as well as “lunch and learns” to combine socializing and continuing education. While employers and supervisors can develop programs and work cultures that are mentally healthy, we as individuals can also make a difference. When we simply acknowledge others, show sincere interest in them, and look for and identify their strengths, we contribute to a culture of human support that is the bedrock of positive mental health, both in the workplace and in life. Dr. Robert Lees, R.Psych., is the Community Psychologist for the Ministry of Children and Family Development in Chilliwack. The Chilliwack Healthier Community is a coalition of 36 Chilliwack organizations chaired jointly by the City of Chilliwack and Chilliwack School District

Aim for progress and don’t get fooled by the pursuit of perfection PROGRESS from page 24 don’t expect that we’re going to ‘get it’ right away, or sometimes ever at all. Imagine if you expected to golf a perfect round every time
you go out and play? Or imagine if you expected to play the piano perfectly after the first few lessons! Look at healthy eating as a practice, just
like everything else in life. Aim to make progress; don’t aim for perfection. Slip-ups will have a lot less power if you look at eating this way.
• See ‘failures’ as a fantastic opportunity to learn more about yourself so that you can improve. Last week I spoke at a conference in Alberta. Before and
after my talk, I spent my time interacting with people in the audience as well as the other speakers. After the talk, I went out for drinks and dinner, and then
immediately to another person’s house. That’s when my own eating habits fell off the rails. There were snacks, drinks, and despite not being hungry, or really even enjoying the food, I let myself go with no breaks. In the past, I would have felt guilty and like a failure, then I would spend an hour or so creating a new neat and perfect diet plan that I could start the next day. But this time was different. First, it was one night, and definitely not worth getting worked up over. And secondly, I took the opportunity to learn from the situation. I’m an introverted person, and spending an entire day without any time on my own to regroup and recharge is exhausting. I used the food to zone out. Next time, I can arm
myself with what I really needed: a break. • You cannot actually fail unless you choose to fail. And that means choosing to stop trying altogether. Everything else is simply learning another way that doesn’t work. Shift your focus to long term measures of success, which allow for a lot more wiggle room. Ups and downs are a natural part of the process, but when you zoom out to the big picture, you’ll see that the curve trends upward, as long as you keep trying.

Foster parents needed FOSTER from page 20 3,000 foster parents are reaching retirement age, creating the need for more special people to provide a supportive and caring environment to children and teens in care. “Not everyone is suited to be a foster parent – you must understand that your time is no longer your own. You must be willing make many sacrifices to provide a good, strong foster home to a vulnerable child,” she says.
“Having said that, if you are also willing to reach out for the resources and support being offered to you, the support is there.” Foster families can play an integral role in creating the building blocks children need to prepare them for a better future. If you are 19 years and older and have the time, effort, patience and desire to make a difference in the life of a child visit www. mcf.gov.bc.ca/foster or call the Foster Line toll-free at 1-800-663-9999.

The GW Graham senior varsity football squad is poised to start their season on the road today (Friday), visiting the Robert Bateman Timberwolves. The latest rankings, released Wednesday, find the Grizz ranked No. 1 in the province in the AA division. The Abbotsford Panthers are No. 2 followed by the Ballenas (Parksville) Whalers, Holy Cross (Surrey) Crusaders and John Barsby (Nanaimo) Panthers.
Four years ago, while watching the Cloverdale Bantam AAA team play, I wondered if I was watching the player that would be the first son of a former Chief player to play for the Chiefs. At the time I thought there was a decent chance I was. A few years later, when that player committed to play for the Langley Rivermen, I figured I was wrong. Turns out I was right after all. The player in question is forward Darien Craighead. He is now a Chief after being acquired from the Cowichan Valley Capitals in exchange for defenseman Carter Cochrane on Wednesday. His father John played 25 regular season games plus playoffs for the Chiefs during the 1991-92 season. In those 25 regular season games he scored 12 goals and 16 assists and added 116 penalty minutes. He was the toughest player on a very tough team. He went on to a lengthy pro career that included five games with the Toronto Maple Leafs and six seasons in Europe as well as a one year stint in the Vancouver Canucks system. Darien is a different type of player. He’s played two full BCHL seasons, one in Langley and one in Cowichan. Last year with the Capitals he scored 19 goals and added 23 assists in forty games. He’s committed to Nor ther n Michigan University for the 2016-17 season. So who will be the next son of a former Chief
to suit up for the Chiefs? Hopefully that question will be answered a few seasons from now. The Chiefs Kid’s Club is back thanks to partner White Spot. Kids 12 and under can sign up for just $20 and will receive a White Spot Kid’s Club T-Shirt, and a free Pirate Pak meal every month during the Chiefs season. Lots of other prizes and activities as well. You can sign up at any Chiefs home game or visit the Chiefs website and download the registration form there. Two games for the Chiefs this weekend against teams that are at much different spots in the BCHL standings. Tonight (Friday) the Chiefs are in Surrey to take on the 2-6-0-0 Eagles before they return home Saturday to take on the 8-10-0 Penticton Vees. The Chiefs easily handled the Eagles 6-0 on home ice nine day ago but it’s a different game in Surrey where the Eagles play on the larger Olympic size ice surface. The Chiefs and Vees met earlier this season during the BCHL Showcase at Prospera Centre. The Vees won that one 2-1 in overtime. The game was another gem played between these two teams. The scouts I talked to that weekend said that game was the best junior A game they had seen in a long time. These teams bring out the best in each other and I expect no different Saturday night. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net
See you later Carter Just over a week after he rejoined the Chilliwack Chiefs family, Carter Cochrane is heading to the Cowichan Valley Capitals in a BCHL deal. Cochrane was traded Wednesday in a swap that brings the Chiefs 18 year old forward Darien Craighead. “We felt we needed another forward with a scoring touch,” said Chiefs general manager and head coach Jason Tatarnic. “When you acquire a good player you have to give something up in return and unfortunately the price tag was Carter.” Craighead was a point-per-game player for the Caps last year and will make his Chilliwack debut this weekend.

Cascade golfers happy to be home for nationals After more than a year of preparation and planning, the 2015 PING CCAA National Championships are set to take over Chilliwack Golf Club. Next week, Oct. 13-16, the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) tournament will be hosted by the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades for the first time. The event brings together 14 menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams, 11 womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams and 103 golfers in total. It will be a true national championship, with competitors literally from coast to coast â&#x20AC;&#x201C; from Vancouver Island (Victoriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Camosun College Chargers) to Prince Edward Island (Charlottetownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Holland College Hurricanes). â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, the course is in about as good of shape as itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been in all year,â&#x20AC;? UFV Cascades head coach Chris Bertram said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very playable golf course â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very friendly, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s got some good, tough holes. I think that everybody is going to be really happy
to be out here, playing on the West Coast. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to feel like a really first-class event, and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s certainly been our goal all throughout the planning â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to give the all of the studentathletes an experience theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll remember.â&#x20AC;? Both of 2014â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CCAA team champions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the Holland Hurricanes (men) and the CĂŠgep Champlain St. Lawrence Lions (women) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be returning to nationals to defend their titles. The Hurricanes are looking to go back-to-back after winning the first national crown in program history last season, while the Lions have a record four womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s championships to their credit and are chasing a fifth. Lorelle Weavers of the Niagara College Knights, last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s individual womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s champ, is also back in the field and aiming to defend her crown. The host UFV Cascades, meanwhile, are just two years removed from sweeping the team gold medals at CCAA nationals, and they won womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team silver and menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
Good Sport of the week!
team bronze in 2014. They have the added benefit of playing at their home course as they seek a return to glory. The Cascades menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teams both finished second in the PacWest conference this season. But individual victories by Hannah Dirksen and Connor Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell at the regular season finale, the UFV Invitational, give the Cascades plenty of momentum heading into nationals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My confidence heading into (the PacWest finale) was probably at a six, now I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at an 11,â&#x20AC;? said Dirksen, a second-year Cascade from Mission, B.C. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just gives me so much hope heading into nationals. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just to know youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at a course where you know every inch of the golf course, it really drops a lot of the nerves and wondering what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re heading into for nationals. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a relief to be playing at
home, and it feels really great.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve known for a long time that it was going to be here at Chilliwack, so all of us are very excited that we get to host a national championship,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Dell echoed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a huge advantage playing your own golf course â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you know where to hit the ball and where not to.â&#x20AC;? Next Tuesday, the PING CCAA Golf National Championships commence with morning registration and opening ceremonies at Chilliwack Golf Club, an afternoon practice round, and an evening CCAA awards banquet at the Ramada Plaza & Conference Centre in Abbotsford. On Wednesday, the tournament officially tees off, with the first round beginning at 8:30 a.m. Thursdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s second round and Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third (and final) round also start at 8:30 a.m. Golf Canada and the Vancouver Golf Tour
will be providing live scoring, which will be
available through the championship website:

Crusader juniors upend United
Chilliwack’s U-17 Crusaders pulled off a 32-15 over Coquitlam’s United Rugby Club last weekend, getting two tries apiece from Hudson Gaglardi and Will Wright. United opened the
scoring just five minutes in, but Gaglardi’s first try knotted the score moments later. He rumbled 40 yards straight up the gut, and Jack Sturgiss added the convert. Before the first half was done, Wright and Austin Stobbs scored. Stobbs benefited from the great passing of Ben Franz and Chilliwack led big at the break. United’s smaller side was overmatched by the Crusaders. Tristan Garrett and Rylee Henrotte were domi-
nant in scrums. After Gaglardi and Wright scored their second tries, Nick Sudermann provided the highlight of the match. The big hooker broke several tackles as he barrelled 60 yards downfield for the final Chilliwack try. “I can’t be more proud of my boys this day,” said Chilliwack coach Pat Gallagher. “Not one person won this game. All the lads did their job and came together and won this as a team.” The U-17 crew
faces off against their bitter rivals from the Abbotsford Rugby Football Club this Saturday during the Annual Gobbler Tournament. Game time is 11 a.m. Anyone interested in joining the Crusaders Youth movement is invited to email info@ chilliwackrugby.com. Info is also available online at chilliwackrugby.com ● The Crusaders senior men earned a big 22-15 win over UBC last weekend.

BCHL makes mental health move Canadian Mental Health Association’s (CMHA) BC Division and the BC Hockey League (BCHL) have launched Talk Today. A mental health education program designed for BCHL players and their supporters, Talk Today helps them learn about mental health and increase their skills in order to help support players who may be struggling or at risk of suicide. The Talk Today program is one of the most comprehensive
mental health programs for amateur sports in Canada. It consists of several components including mental health and suicide awareness workshops, 1-1 mental health coaches, and Talk Today community awareness events at BCHL games. For each of the 17 BCHL teams, a local CMHA Mental Health Navigator will serve as a liaison, providing referrals to community mental health and addictions support. The Navigator will

also work closely with their local BCHL team to help promote mental health awareness within their local community. The announcement comes as welcome news to 16 year old Myles Mattila. Based in Kelowna, Mattila has been a mental health advocate for several years as a result of the impact of two events: when he didn’t know how to help one of his hockey teammates who was experiencing mental health issues, and the passing of former Vancouver Canucks Rick Rypien. “Mental health affects everyone no matter what age we are, and youth and young athletes are no exception,” Mattila said. “It’s encouraging to see programs like Talk Today being implemented to help make a difference and show everyone that it’s OK to talk about mental health and mental illness.”

OBITUARIES
WALL, Selma
January 28, 1934 - October 4, 2015 Selma Wall was born on January 28, 1934 in SK and moved to Yarrow that same year where she spent her childhood years. When, at 18, her parents moved to Chilliwack Central, she joined and faithfully attended Eden Mennonite until her passing. That’s where she met our dad. They married on April, 2, 1956 and, in the years that followed, had 4 children. She always wanted to be the mother she didn’t have but was so much more. She was the aunt the cousins wanted to visit. She was the hostess for many family and friend gatherings. She is known for making great meals, beautiful flower arrangements, pettipoint pictures, and wearing fashionable clothing. She traveled much, and annually to visit 3 of her 4 children in the States. We remember her faith in God, private daily devotions, her quiet wisdom, Godly grace and her efficient ‘doing’ nature. We love her and will miss her dearly. Selma passed away quietly on Sunday, Oct 4. She is predeceased by her husband, Peter Wall and survived by her 4 children, Marjorie, Audrey, Leslie, and John and their families including 10 grandchildren and 9 great-grandchildren. Her viewing is at Woodlawn Funeral Home on Fri., Oct 9 at 7-8:30 pm. Funeral is held at Eden Mennonite Church at 1:00 pm.
Dad you will forever be missed but always in our hearts. Until we meet again.
