Chilliwack Agropur plant closing Consolidation plans will affect 42 local employees Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack’s Agropur milk processing plant on Yale Road east will be closed by this time next year, affecting 42 employees. The decision was made public on Wednesday by Agropur Cooperative and is part of the “optimization” of its B.C. milk processing operations. Mayor Sharon Gaetz expressed regret that Agropur is moving out of town. The dairy plant had history as a Sealtest site and Milk Maid before that, and Gaetz said she wished there was some way they could remain in Chilliwack. “That site had become an important landmark, a “fixture” to locals seeking an ice cream or other dairy products,” she said. The plant, located next to Little Mountain Greenhouse on Yale Road East will be shut down by late October 2016. “To remain competitive, Agropur must review and optimize its processing operations on an ongoing basis. Following the recent acquisition of the Burnaby facility, Agropur has decided to consolidate its operations and redirect production to its two other plants in British Columbia,” said CEO Robert Coallier. The Chilliwack employees will be entitled to a support program and the opportunity to apply for equivalent positions at other Agropur facilities, as well as severance pay and continued access to Agropur’s Employee Assistance Program. Agropur officials noted they are keenly aware of the impact locally and will try to minimize it. “The decision to close Chilliwack and transfer its volume to our existing B.C. manufacturing facilities was a difficult one,” said Serge Paquette, president of Agropur Canada. “It is in no way reflective of the hard work and commitment of our employees at Chilliwack.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

G.W. Graham Secondary School students performed the annual Remembrance Day production for local veterans at the Masonic Hall on Oct. 30. Written and directed by Damon Fultz, the cast will perform the production in the school theatre on Nov. 10. Here, Blake Pyne delivers a monologue as a Canadian soldier who fought in Afghanistan.

Remembrance play more than a moment of silence Sam Bates The Progress The Remembrance Day ceremony at G.W. Graham Secondary School stands apart from most. For the past 14 years, it has included a special theatre production to commemorate the historical day. Each year, local veterans are given a premiere performance a week earlier at the Chilliwack Masonic Hall. Emotions are raw, and tears flow with the applause. This year was no different. Theatre director and drama teacher Damon Fultz was motivated to bring meaning back to Remembrance Day after sitting through an “awful” ceremony in 2000, which consisted of a

poorly memorized rendition of In Flanders Fields, followed by a 10-minute video. Coming from a family of veterans, “I just felt that something more meaningful had to happen. So that’s when I started this amazing journey.” Fultz’s Remembrance Day productions have a real impact, because they are real. Every story, every painful memory, every graphic detail came from the lips of actual veterans, or family members on their behalf. Fultz listened to more than 40 individuals in legions, living rooms, or bars, wherever they were comfortable. Some stories he heard were quintessentially Canadian. Like when troops stepped off the

line in Afghanistan and walked into a Tim Hortons. Or the ball hockey game that continued all through the night. But mostly, he heard stories that broke his heart. A small cast of Grade 12 students bring those stories to the stage in Fultz’s Afghanistan War script this year. The multi-media production features live action and music that draws you into the intense emotion, in combination with authentic video footage and photography from the front lines that allows the audience to see the bigger picture. Even Fultz still shudders at some of the footage. “I’m trying to get people to react emotionally,” he explained, “because then they can start thinking.” Actors Blake Pyne and

Damien Commodore deliver powerful monologues. They talk about missing home. What it’s like to disarm an IED bomb. Where they hid from ‘Timmy Taliban’ gunfire. Having to ask yourself, “Am I a killer?” They recall the sound of screams after a thundering explosion. And the smell of the blood on their uniform from a child they tried to save. And they reveal what it’s like for those who made it home, only to lose everything. And for some, their lives. For the veteran audience, the production is a way to thank them and their families for the scarifies they’ve made to ensure our freedom and safety. Continued: WAR/ p3

Back lane to remain closed for Riverside development Jennifer Feinberg The Progress They wrote letters and turned up en masse in council chambers. A contingent of about 50 residents who live around Bonny Park showed up at City Hall Tuesday night, adamant about a back lane remaining closed to traffic in the face of a proposed development for Riverside Drive. (See “Residents don’t want Bonnie Park Lane reopened,” Chilliwack Progress, Nov. 4.) In the end, they got their wish. When Kevin Nicol of Richlane Homes, the developer whose plan would see the lane reopened to vehicle traffic, jumped up to become the

first at the microphone with good news for the neighbours. “Because of the community concerns and strong feelings about this, I’m willing to remove the back lane opening and agree to only use Riverside,” Nicol told council, adding his main concern was that his clients could use the park. Taking the lane out of the equation, which was devised in order to alleviate traffic issues, was deemed acceptable to the developer, and it wasn’t going to impact his plan to build nine or 10 two-storey homes about 2000 square feet each, with enhanced curb appeal. “I totally understand the concern and am willing to look at other

options with staff and planners to figure out another way,” Nicol said. He described the future development as one with “high-end” homes, almost “Garrison” style. But at least one area neighbour said she hoped that the developer conceding on the lane issue would mean he’ll build fewer than 10 homes on the two lots. “It’s going to change everyone’s life,” said resident Kim Senko, who called Riverside Drive “a very quiet and decent” area. She called Nicol’s lane concession “a smart move” and added her only request was that the developer increase the number of units “appropriately,” as opposed to “ramming it

down a neighbourhood’s throat.” Resident Craig McKie, who was instrumental in getting the metal barriers in place to close off the lane to traffic, was pleased with the way it was resolved. “Most of my objections have now collapsed,” he said at the hearing. “Sometimes things just work out.” He thanked Nicol for “raising the white flag and doing the sensible thing.” Resident Lori Gilbert called the half-acre lots on Riverside “unique,” and “when would it stop?” She said she was trying not to be hypocritical since she was in the development business as well but added that they needed to preserve

some of the land. Mayor Sharon Gaetz had praise for the neighbours who showed up and sent in letters of opposition. “They really took ownership and said the lane closure was not working for them.” Coun. Jason Lum remarked that the developer had built himself “some social licence in the neighbourhood” by showing that his company was one that listens to the concerns of the neighbourhood. “Thanks for coming up and offering that concession,” he said. Other concerns raised by residents included the number of trees that would be coming down, and the setbacks from the street. jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Preserving and protecting Chilliwack’s military history Jessica Peters The Progress

G.W. Graham students (from left) William Beeney, Blake Pyne, Olivia Eros and Damien Commodore have teamed up with director Damon Fultz (back right) and music director Dave Geursten to perform the annual Remembrance Day production. SAM BATES/ PROGRESS

Students tell real tales of war WAR from Front For the high school audience, the production underlines the magnitude of those sacrifices. It can be challenging to get through to young listeners who think of Remembrance Day as a mere holiday. Fultz hopes to at least open their eyes. Even if only a little bit. Singer Olivia Eros made note of the wave of poppies or flags that appear on her social media newsfeed in early November, with captions that read, “Lest we forget.” But the cast agreed that the production is a way to help students understand what exactly it is that we’re supposed to be remembering. It’s a day to honour all members of the Armed Forces who put their lives on the line, in the past and the present.

Over 100,000 Canadian soldiers died in the First and Second World Wars, and the war in Korea. Another 158 soldiers were killed serving in the Afghan war. And according to recent data, at least 54 Canadian soldiers and veterans have died by suicide since returning from war in Afghanistan. After 15 years, the productions have taken a significant emotional and mental toll on Fultz. “I remember all the veterans that I’ve talked with. Some of them are no longer with us,” Fultz said. But he hears their voices through the voices of his actors. He’s faced with the difficult decision of whether or not to continue. “Those darn veterans,” he sighed. After the highly emotional Masonic Hall production concluded, Fultz was

greeted with an outpouring of emotion from veterans and family members, all expressing their gratitude, but gently urging him to continue. Regardless of Fultz’s decision, his incredible Remembrance Day productions consistently warm every appreciative soul in the audience. Veteran and president of the CFB Chilliwack Historical Society Jim Harris has been working with G.W. Graham on the Remembrance Projects for many years. As a man who fought bravely for our country, and overcame a great struggle with PTSD, the production brought up a lot of memories for Harris. He gave a heartfelt thank you to Fultz and his students for keeping those important memories alive and at centre stage, year after year.

Chilliwack’s military history spans back as far as the 1860s, when British troops guarded our borders. But Chilliwack’s role as a military community was really solidified with the construction of the Canadian Forces Base in 1942. Today, 20 years after the base’s closure, its legacy has remained strong. And the volunteers at the CFB Historical Society are ensuring that local history will never be forgotten. They’ve amassed about 29,000 military artifacts, countless stories, and a collective knowledge among its 108 members. But Jim Harris, president of the CFB Historical Society, says they are always eager to learn more. Their goal is to gather, maintain and display archives as a way to preserve, relive and remember our history. And on Nov. 10, they’ll be at the Chilliwack Library to share stories with the public. They will also be on hand to hear your stories, whether it’s a bit of family history, or sharing military artifacts and badges. Oftentimes, one of the volunteers is able to help fill in the missing gaps about items like medals, or help pin down dates or military genealogy. And when their own knowledge isn’t enough, they go searching online. Harris and a team of four other volunteers will be set up with a computer at the library, to help find out more on the spot. It’s a hobby and a passion for Harris, who is open to researching any artifacts or tidbits of information the public brings him. People should feel free to bring in “pretty well anything at all, because then we all learn,” he says. “I can do the research — and I just love doing it — and I can get back to the person and let them know what I found.” It’s a service the society provides, in keeping with the intention of preserving history. And the payment? “We just ask them to pay it forward,” he says. “To do something for a veteran or veteran’s family.” Harris, like many of the volunteers, is a veteran himself. He served with the Canadian Military Engineers for 34 years, retiring in 1994. He joined the Forces knowing that most of his family members had served, in both the First and Second World Wars. By the time he was old enough to sign up himself, he had been orphaned. “My father died when I was 13, and my mother died when I was five,” he said. “They (the military) became my family, and they still are.” Interest in the military remains strong in Chlliwack, he said. There are soldiers still returning home from Afghanistan, and their stories will need to be shared as well. Harris and CFB Historical Society volunteers will be on hand at the library, Nov. 10, from noon to 4 p.m. For those who cannot make that time, visitors are welcome to their site at 45905 Hocking Avenue, in the Masonic Hall, every Saturday between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.

Council rejects plan for workshop space triple the allowable size Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack said no to a massive shop building on agricultural land in Rosedale, in which

the applicant planned to store recreational vehicles and a workshop. The development variance permit request was asking for the structure to be built on a lot three

times the size of the maximum lot coverage. A DVP application for an ancillary building on McGrath Road was turned down by most of council Tuesday night, in

part because the applicant did not appear in council chambers to explain why it had to be so big. Maximum lot coverage for rural ancillary

building of this type is 100 square metres, and the applicant wanted to increase the lot coverage to 313 square metres. The city’s maximum lot coverage standard

echoes the same 100 sq. m maximum used by the Agricultural Land Commission. However the variance for the rural property at 10759 McGrath Road

$1,500 BONUS CASH ON MOST TDI MODELS*

UNTIL NOVEMBER 30, 2015

was deemed supportable by city staff in the staff report: “The proposed increase to the lot coverage for rural ancillary use is considered supportable in this instance as the variance is not anticipated to have any negative impact on the surrounding properties due to the significant setback from McGrath Road and the similar scale of existing nearby agricultural structures.” Currently located on the property is a single family detached home. Mayor Sharon Gaetz was one of the council members who voted against the variance. Coun. Sam Waddington ask if there was any way staff could ensure the building would not be utilized for a “commercial shop operation.” Gaetz responded that council tends to take an applicant at their word, unless the neighbours come back to say it’s being used for other purposes other than those stated. “But we have been tricked before,” she said. Coun. Chris Kloot also had questions about the size. Council is in the midst of gathering information with its Farm Home Plate discussions, looking at issues such as where buildings should be sited on ag land, to preserve farm land. “This to me looks like a shop, and without some clarity I don’t think I can support it.” Coun. Chuck Stam asked about the option of referring it back to staff for more information. “I think they provided all the information required,” Gaetz said. “They are just not here to answer our questions.” Stam noted the applicant also plans to store recreational vehicles, and said he had no real problem with the variance. “The size was not an issue since the neighbours were in favour.” But the variance motion was defeated by a vote of 4 to 3. Voting against were Mayor Gaetz, Coun. Waddington, Coun. Popove and Coun. Kloot. The applicant can reapply either with the same plan in six month or a different one sooner if the plan is modified. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

charged with her murder. “So this issue has touched me personally,” Crey said. He has a number of suggestions now that a glimmer of hope has been rekindled among families with missing or murdered aboriginal women, in the wake of the recent federal election. One, the national inquiry should ideally be led by Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, Crey said. Turpel-Lafond fought and advocated valiantly for children since being appointed

in 2006, and re-appointed to another term, as the province’s representative of children and youth. Two, he suggested the inquiry should touch down and travel to different regions of Canada to collect testimony from witnesses, including several sessions in B.C. Three, it should be broadcast on CPAC or otherwise online with highlights on the evening news to keep the issue alive and in the public eye. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

By now, the wave of refugees streaming out of Syria and across Europe has caught the entire world’s attention. While some would rather turn their heads at the plight of people halfway around the world, others are looking for ways to open their hearts.

If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. That’s an expression worth remembering now — and as we get closer to the busy shopping season, a time when what we might receive at Christmas starts to cloud our minds. In fact, it’s something everyone, of any age, should have etched into their brains, as incidents of fraud and scams press on, seemingly unabated. That may sound a tad harsh or pessimistic. It should be a good thing if someone steps up and wants to hand over thousands of dollars — or a bridge — for seemingly no reason. Or at least for no reason a person would reasonably expect to have anything to do with them. Unfortunately, windfalls like that are usually pipe dreams. Whether it’s greed, a simple feeling of not wanting to upset people or for some other reason, folks fall for scams all the time. And so, the scammers keep calling, emailing and writing, hoping for a response — just enough to encourage the behaviour. And once a person and their money are parted, it’s exceedingly difficult for the authorities to get it back. Yet, police and financial institutions fight hard to try to prevent scams and the people who run them from taking advantage of people. Even so, we cannot rely on them. Individuals must be on guard — for the day will come when someone will try to weasel our hard-earned cash from our pockets. When that happens, and the whole thing makes you curious or uncomfortable, just ask questions. Ask them who they are. Ask for their phone number. Ask for their boss. And then ask to phone them back. And if you are still not feeling good about it, just hang up. Police continually tell us the best way to find out if something is a scam or not, is to call the agency purported to be offering the windfall. Contact them directly and ask if the offer is on the up and up. Most times, if it’s a bank or Canada Revenue Agency, they’ll tell you it’s a scam and you should ignore it. There are people out there who want to separate us from our money for nasty reasons. It’s up to us to know the difference between them and the good people out there. Sometimes, all it takes to be sure is to ask. -Black Press

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Cross-Canada ride helps honour veterans On April 13, Canadian Forces veteran Paul Nichols set out on the ride of a lifetime. His plan was to ride from Victoria, B.C. to St. John’s, Newfoundland, to raise awareness of the challenges many veterans face when transitioning from military to civilian life. His goal was to visit communities across Canada, share stories with veterans, and heighten awareness of the contributions military people have made and the special needs they face. His mount, Zoe, would symbolize the value of horses in helping veterans cope and heal from the traumatic brain injury, PTSD. The vision had been triggered by a chance encounter with a lady in a story who had survived the four-year Siege of Sarajevo, enduring shelling and sniper fire ever y night. She was rescued by Canadian troops. When Paul

told her that he had served in Yugoslavia with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, she had burst into tears and hugged him, still grateful for the service of the Canadian soldiers. That haunting moment lingered and he realized the profound depths of a heartMargaret felt story. He wonEVANS dered if powerful stories like these could help heal and make a difference to both a victim and a veteran, so many of whom have suffered the torment of PTSD. As had Paul. For almost a year, Paul and his wife Terry planned the Ride Across Canada and launched Communities for Veterans

Foundation. They would take their four horses and lease horses along the way, stopping in communities to visit with veterans and residents. Veterans could sign up to ride with them for a few hours or days depending on how many horses they had with them at any one time. “We were quite strict with what the ride would look like,” said Terry. “(The riding group would consist of) my husband Paul and a maximum of three veterans who have gone through a lesson and been approved to join the ride. We would have events so when we rode into a community we would have a gathering at a cenotaph, a beach, a park or a community place. There would be an invitation for veterans and community members to join us to talk and share thoughts.” The journey was amazing.

Everywhere, people turned out to help, offering food, meals, hay, lodging, stabling, and vehicles. Now, almost six months later, Paul, Terry, and their support team have finally ridden into St John’s, Newfoundland having covered close to 10,000 kilometres. Some 335 veterans have ridden with them and they have visited almost 160 communities. In some places they had to trailer their horses to make up time after a diversion to a community that asked them to visit. The ride will officially end on Monday, November 9 when they will ride to the National War Memorial for a ceremony at 2 p.m. Then there will be a reception at Government House and a commemorative celebration dinner at The Mess at CFB St. John’s.

“A good friend of ours was talking about the Ride as though we were lighting candles as we were riding across Canada. We could feel this brightness, this whole inspiration. We had one veteran who was really struggling and he has actually joined our crew as a mechanic. He joined to help out because he sees the power in what we are doing. For him, it’s renewed his faith in humanity because he can see how people want to support veterans.” Canadians truly love their veterans. Next Wednesday, Remembrance Day, they will honour them once more for their service, their sacrifice and their commitment to making Canada safe for us all. It will be a moment to keep the candle of hope burning.

Canada Post financial picture bleak Re: Canada Post showed a profit last year (Chilliwack Progress letters, Oct. 30). Â There are some, like local Green Party candidate Art Green, who want to maintain the status quo at Canada Post regardless of what it costs taxpayers, however they should be honestÂ about the financial picture at the Crown Corporation.Â Â The Canada Post pension plan has a deficit of $6.5 billion. Normally this would require Canada Post to make special payments into the plan. In 2014 this amounted to around $800 million. If it was not for the temporary relief the Government of Canada provided Canada Post from making such payments until 2018 while it attempted to restructure, Canada Post would have posted close to a billion dollar deficit this year and last.Â

It would be a mistake to view a single year of profitability by Canada Post as proof that the crown corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s current business model is financially sustainable. Canada Post actually lost $31 million in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter last year.Â Â During the first six months of the year, mail volume fell by 102Â million pieces or 7.2 per cent compared to the same period a year ago. This was the highest rate in decline in mail volume since 2006. People are moving away from letter mail to electronic communication in record numbers and they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t ever going to switch back. Â Canada Post must adapt to this changing landscape.Â In 2013 an independent assessment of Canada Post by the Conference Board of Canada

projected mail volumes would decline by 27 per cent by 2020 pushing Canada Post into an annual operating deficit of $1 billion, in addition to their billions of dollars of unfunded pension liability.Â Canadians deserve to know how Canada Post expects to balance its budget now that the federal Liberal government has put the brakes on Canada Postâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to save $576 million per year by becoming more modern and efficient. And Canadians also deserve to know if the Liberal government will be permanently raising taxes on Canadian families to permanently subsidize Canada Post, or whether they will simply be adding billions of dollars more to their promised annual deficits.Â Â

of many Conservatives when he referred to the assumption that â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had never won an election in fifty years.â&#x20AC;? Who told you this, Mr. Les? It happens to be untrue (as are many beliefs that local Conservatives often possess). I myself was elected three times in Niagara with ever-increasing margins each time. I was the campaign manager for our NDP successful candidate in the provincial campaign of 1990. That

seat is still held by the NDP. Locally, here in Chilliwack, I was Gwen Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Mahoneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s campaign manager. As you may know, she was elected in the byelection â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a â&#x20AC;&#x153;firstâ&#x20AC;? for local New Democrats. So, again, your assumptions are off base. You also refer to my â&#x20AC;&#x153;biting the handâ&#x20AC;? that feeds me. What does this mean? I have never been â&#x20AC;&#x153;fedâ&#x20AC;? by anyone in Chilliwack. You again are displaying your â&#x20AC;&#x153;lack of knowledge.â&#x20AC;?

To Mr. Wearing I say that democracy is not doing â&#x20AC;&#x153;fine.â&#x20AC;? When wealthy individuals and corporations can filter huge sums of money to both the Conservatives and the Liberals; when they can determine which party gets elected; how is this defined as â&#x20AC;&#x153;democracyâ&#x20AC;?? We have a long way to go in this country before anything close to â&#x20AC;&#x153;democracyâ&#x20AC;? is established.

honour. So any attempt to desecrate, vandalize or tarnish these symbols of Remembrance will always be viewed with disdain and scorn by the members of The Royal Canadian Legion and hopefully by the courts of public opinion. It is hoped that the recent events in Fredericton, New Brunswick (where large commemorative plaques were sto-

len from the cenotaph) will provide an opportunity for New Brunswickers and other Canadians to re-affirm the purpose of monuments and cenotaphs and the important role they play in the heritage of our communities. We will remember them! Tom Eagles Dominion President The Royal Canadian Legion

was really “compliance with authority.” Those who couldn’t comply were simply removed from the system. Schools of that era had much lower graduation rates because they pushed out young people Rob who had difLEES ficulty dealing with the structure of school. Today, schools work hard to include more students, whether they have physical disabilities or poor attitudes that can hinder their academic performance. They also graduate far more students than in my day, which is really important in terms of economic opportunities for both the students and for society as a whole. We need a skilled, educated workforce to keep our economy strong. Of interest to me as a psychologist was that the news later reported that the student who was manhandled by the police officer was a foster child. Somehow, for some reason, the first authorities in her life – her parents – failed her. Respect for authority and compliance with authority begin with these early attachment experiences. Parents are their children’s first and best teachers. Children who experience neglectful, harsh or abusive parenting still have choices. They may choose to be crushed or they may be defiant. Why would they trust authority? Trust has to be earned through nurturance and genuine care. In recent years, I have spent time in Steve Anderson’s psychology class at Chilliwack Secondary school. Steve treats students like adults, meets them eye to eye, and it’s obvious that they enjoy being in his class. They respect him as the Continued: KIDS/ p15

Already, one local church has offered up its Christmas Eve offering for Chilliwack Cares, and more have expressed support and interest. While there have been refugee crises in the past, the situation in Syria has hit a chord worldwide. Tompke and his wife were both compelled to do something to help. “This is just the right thing to do,” he said. “It’s a human catastrophe. Many people have died, and many more will die.” Tompke has a background in promotions, including with the successful Acoustic Emporium downtown Chilliwack. He’s hoping local musicians will connect with him so they can get involved, and he’s hoping to bring a larger act to town to attract even more interest. It’s all still in the early stages of planning, but time is of the essence, he said. The government of Canada has pledged to match donations made this year, and Tompke hopes to double Chilliwack’s efforts by taking advantage of that pledge. Part of the money will go toward sponsorship of families coming to Canada, and the remainder will go toward the cost of operating the refugee camps. All of the money will be managed through the existing MCC channels, as would the actual work of sponsoring refugees. Businesses, musicians, families, churches and any other organizations who want to get involved can contact Tompke at chilliwackcares@shaw.ca. And anyone wanting to support the cause can watch for further information as plans come together.

Troubled kids need care, not abuse KIDS from page 10 teacher and he seems to easily gain their compliance. Steve is just one example of the hundreds of teachers in our district who earn the respect of their students by giving them respect as well. Instead of coddling them, he respects their autonomy and capability. These days in the mental health field, the question asked of young people having problems is not, “What’s wrong with

you?” Instead, it’s, “What has happened to you?” Perhaps if the officer in the video had more training and maybe even more guidance and a better upbringing himself, he may have acted differently. Instead, the way he reacted to the student in the video could have caused her great physical harm. Defiance of adults and authority is not the normal response in young people who feel well loved, nurtured and respected. Even badly

damaged children will respond positively when they know an adult genuinely respects and cares for them. Times have

Progress Jessica

Peters 604.702.5575 • jpeters@theprogress.com

Local photographer making her mark Jessica Peters The Progress Angeline Haslett’s commute is one of the prettiest drives around, in any season. She gets to meander through a farming valley, over a rugged mountain and alongside rivers, between her home in Harrison Hot Springs and her job as a kindergarten teacher at Sts’ailes Community School. And that means she gets to drive right through bald eagle territory. It’s a beautiful corner of the world anytime of year, but in the fall and winter when the eagles come to get their fill on the salmon spawning up the Harrison River, the beauty abounds. And Haslett is often ready with her camera, for those magical moments when good lighting and good timing unite. “I kicked myself yesterday,” she says, in a phone call with The Progress. “I didn’t have the camera and there were two eagles, and one was coming down with his talons out.” It’s the type of image that compels Haslett to pull over, grab her gear, and settle in for some time with her latest hobby. She took up photography less than two years ago, when her children had all left home and her time was freed up. “When your kids finally do move out, you realize it’s time to do something for yourself,” she says. “I did have an interest in photography before, but never did pursue it.” She had done some SLR work back in university, about 30 years ago. That means she’d been in a darkroom, and understood the processes behind good photography. And years ago, she adds, she did paint — well enough to sell some of her work. But she still considers herself new to this medium, and so has been pleasantly surprised how quickly her work has gained attention. Earlier this year, she earned second place for the photo contest run by the Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival society, which promotes education and appreciation of the eagles through events, lectures

Angeline Haslett’s image of a bald eagle swarmed with flies earned her the second prize in a photo contest held by the Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival’s society. It’s just one of many prizes she’s earned since picking up her camera two years ago. ANGELINE HASLETT PHOTO

and the annual festival. Haslett was also one of the winners of a Black Press photography contest from a one-day challenge at the Abbotsford Airshow this August, with her image of fireworks exploding behind a B-25 Mitchell bomber And this week, Haslett learned more good news. An image she captured downtown Vancouver has won an award from Canadian Geographic, and will be published in that magazine in an upcoming

edition. “I’m delighted, needless to say,” she says. She hasn’t spent a fortune on photography — yet. “I’ve started off slow,” she explains. “I still don’t have that great of equipment, and I think the lens I used for that photograph was a 70-300mm Nikon.” Even the best cameras need an artist’s eye behind it, and when looking for subjects, Haslett has her criteria.

“We need to find something out of the ordinary,” she says, of bird photographers. “It can’t just be a bird in the tree, or a bird flying in the air. It has to be a bird doing something extraordinary, something people don’t always see. It has be be interesting.” The winning photo this year went to Rick Skerry, of an eagle seeming to look at his own image reflected in water. And Haslett’s photo, shown above, is an image not just of an

eagle preening himself but of the heavy swarm of flies attracted to him. It’s an unusual image, that shows another side of the bald eagle’s existence. We don’t often think of bald eagles being dirty, she explains. And when chatting with photographers since her photo was chosen, they sometimes tell her they have taken similar photos, with different results. “They say. ‘I shot photos like that too and deleted them,’” she says, laughing. She says getting a good shot is made easier if the natural light is just right, and if the eagles are in abundance. The height of the eagles’ return is during the festival, Nov. 21 and 22, she says. It’s a great time to photograph the interaction between the eagles and the salmon, but there are learning opportunities, too. The society holds talks throughout the weekend, including a salmon talk with ecologist David Hancock. Visitors will get chance to meet Sonsie, a rehabilitated eagle, and look through scopes aimed at the sensitive “flats” in the middle of the river where the eagles rest and hunt. It’s important to remember not to encroach on the eagles’ space, to be respectful and mindful of the delicate ecosystem at play. More information on how to conduct yourself while in the area has been posted at the main areas, and more information about the festival is available on the Fraser Vally Bald Eagle Festival’s website.

Red Nose volunteers being sought for upcoming season Operation Red Nose is gearing up, with the help of a dedicated team of volunteers to make Chilliwack roads safer this holiday season. From Nov. 27 to Dec. 31, the red-vested volunteers will be available to ensure that people get home safely in their own vehicle. This year’s campaign theme “Home Safe Home” encourages all motorists who have had one too many, are tired , or simply not able to drive home safely, to call Operation Red Nose at 604.393.3000. The Kiwanis Club of Sardis is coordinating the service again this year, with the help of volunteers from the community. The service is by donation, 100% of which goes

to programs for local youth. Last year, in Chilliwack, 150 volunteers provided almost 600 safe rides home. Across British Columbia, 5000 volunteers provided over 8,000 rides and across Canada, 50,000 volunteers provided over 80,000 rides. Volunteering for ORN is an immensely popular, valued and important community service. During this year’s campaign, Operation Red Nose volunteers, headquartered in downtown Chilliwack, will taking calls with one goal in mind: To make roads and highways safer for everyone. Individuals can volunteer for one evening, or for nine evenings,

for a couple of hours or an entire night. With the 2015 Operation Red Nose campaign set to start on Nov. 27, anyone interested in volunteering can pick up an application form at the RCMP detachment on Airport Road in Chilliwack. You can also get information and an application on the Operation Red Nose national website “operationrednose.com” Volunteers must fill out an application which includes a Police Information Check.

Wellness Time-saving short cuts to healthy eating

2nd Annual

If you want to eat healthier but donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to spend hours in the kitchen, I wrote this article for you. One of the biggest barriers to eating well is the extra time it takes to prepare

home cooked meals from scratch. Even with some timesaving tricks, prepping meals with fresh, real food does take more time than opening a box of Kraft Dinner or going to a drive-thru.

But, I think you and your health are worth it, and I hope you do too. Here are four timesaving tips to prepare healthy, nourishing meals for you and your family: 1. Meal Plan. Each week, create a rough plan of what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have for dinner each Tanja week. SHAW Yes, this takes time, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll save you a lot of time at the grocery store. Planning ahead also takes away the need to decide what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have for dinner when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re tired at the end of the day (and less likely to make a healthy choice). For a more details on how to meal plan, plus meal planning templates, go to www. tanjashaw.com/10. 2. Use some pro-

cessed foods. Eating real food doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean you have to grind your own oats or grow your own lettuce. While it may be best to eat fresh, local food, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not always realistic. Consider buying pre-chopped or frozen veggies, pre-washed salad, low-sodium canned tomatoes, and canned beans. Healthier condiments are also available at the store: look for salad dressings (read the labels and look for ingredients that you can pronounce), low sodium tomato sauces and marinades to create quick, tasty meals. 3. Always make extra. It takes only slightly more time to cook a double, or even triple batch of a recipe. Pack some of the leftovers in containers for lunches or another dinner in the week, and freeze the rest. You could also make a large stew or soup when you have a bit more time, perhaps on the weekend, simply to stock your freezer. Be sure to label the containers with contents and the date! When roasting chicken or cooking meat, also make extra to use for other meals during the week. You can also cook extra rice ahead of time and freeze it. 4. Chop veggies ahead of time. When you look in the fridge for a snack, you likely donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t feel like chopping a plate full of veggies. I get it! But, if you had veggies already pre-chopped, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be more likely to eat them. Once a week, invest 15 minutes to wash and slice carrots, cucumbers, peppers, and other veggies so they are ready to eat. I pack them in containers so I can easily take one to work with me each day. 5. Get a slow cooker. Throw in a few ingredients in the morning, and come home to a warm, nourishing meal. When you find a delicious, easy recipe, bookmark it so you remember to make it again. These time saving tricks can get you leverage the health and money saving benefits of cooking at home in a fraction of the time.

Throughout history, millions of soldiers have marched into wars to protect the freedoms of their countries. Remembrance Day is a solemn time to commemorate those soldiersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; achievements an sacrifices, and to pay respects to soldiers who died in battle. In the United States, people honor their present and past military on Veteransâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Day. In British common wealth countries and territories, including Canada, November 11 is known as Remembrance Day. Since the end of World War I, memorials to remember those of the armed forces who fought in battle and perished in the line of duty have been dedicated on this day. Armistice Day origins Remembrance Day was

once known as Armistice Day because it marks the signing of the armistice that put an end to the hostilities of World War I. On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of the year, guns fell silent after more than four years of continuous warfare between the Germans and Allied troops. The armistice agreement was signed in a French train carriage at 11 a.m. Later, the carriage where the historic event took place was placed in a specially constructed building to serve as a monument to the defeat of Germany. Although it was moved by German forces and later destroyed during World War II, after that war ended a replacement carriage, correct in continued on page 26

and not much else. The only living thing to survive was the poppy flower, which bloomed with the coming of the warm weather the year after fighting in the region had ceased. Poppies grow in disturbed soil and can lie dormant in the ground without germinating. Without the war, they may have never come to the surface. John McCrae, a doctor serving with the Canadian Armed Forces, was moved by the vision of poppies flowering in Flanders and wrote a poem, titled “In Flanders Fields.” After the poem was published, it received international acclaim and the poppy became a popular symbol of those lost in ffor or men men & wo women omen battle. Men traditionally wear the poppy on the left side of the chest, where a military medal would be placed.

One of the unifying symbols of Remembrance Day is the poppy that is worn to honor lost soldiers. The bold, red color of the flower has become an enduring symbol of those who died in order that others may be free. The poppy became a symbol for a specific reason. Some of the most concentrated and bloody fighting of World War I took place in Flanders, a region in western Belgium. As a result of the fighting, most signs of natural life had been obliterated from the region, leaving behind mud

Discipline on display Nobody I’ve talked to can remember a Chiefs team going an entire game without taking a penalty, writes Jacob Bestebroer

Kaitlyn MacDonald’s (right) continued development would be huge for a University of the Fraser Valley womens’ basketball squad with big expectations. UFV PHOTO

Chilliwack-powered UFV ready to roll

The University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team embarks on the 2015-16 Canada West regular season with a new-look roster, but one that has the talent to make a deep run in the Canada West playoffs. “It’s a different team, with a lot of toughness and athleticism to it,” analyzed Cascades head coach Al Tuchscherer, whose program has earned conference playoff berths each of the past five years and made four straight Canada West Final Four appearances between 2011 and 2014. “They’re skilled, and they play with a lot of determination. You combine those things, and this team could make some noise in Canada West.” UFV’s first regular season basketball games of

the campaign run Friday at 6 p.m. and Saturday at 5 p.m. — both games versus the UBC Okanagan Heat at Abbotsford’s Envision Athletic Centre. The Cascades women’s squad has waved goodbye to a handful of impact players including Chilliwack’s Sarah Wierks (a second team All-Canadian in 2014-15 who led the CIS in rebounding and was fourth in scoring). Celeste Dyck (10.9 points and a team-high 4.3 assists per game), and Nataliia Gavryliuk (13.1 points per game) have also departed. But Tuchscherer has no shortage of talent to work with this season. Fourthyear power forward Katie Brink is the most accomplished returnee from last year’s squad – her 14.8 points per game ranked second on the Cascades in 2014-15. The Abbotsford product finished the year strong with 11 straight doubledigit scoring performances, including five outings of 20-plus points. Brink will be reunited this season with her former high school team-

mate, Chilliwackian Kayli Sartori – the two players were part of the W.J. Mouat Hawks’ B.C. AAA high school championship-winning squad in 2011. Sartori suited up for the Cascades for three seasons before electing to take last season off to work on her family’s farm. She’s back this fall, and has been an impact player throughout the preseason. “Katie and Kayli have experienced a lot of success together – they’ve won championships and been key to some of our past success,” Tuchscherer enthused. “They lead us competitively, they play a physical brand of basketball and they’re highly skilled.” The Cascades are also welcoming a pair of high-profile transfers in Shayna Cameron (formerly of Quest University) and Sydney Williams (Thompson Rivers University). Chilliwack product Cameron spent four seasons at Quest was named the PacWest female athlete of the year across all sports in 2014-15.

Williams, who hails from Langley, was the Canada West rookie of the year with the TRU WolfPack in 2013-14. Both Cameron and Williams are guards. Knockdown three-point shooter Kaitlyn McDonald (Chilliwack) and defensive standout Hailey Kendall will also be key members of the Cascades’ backcourt, while rookies Taylor Claggett and Kate Head have worked their way into the rotation with outstanding preseasons. Claggett, a forward out of Abbotsford’s Mennonite Educational Institute, posted double-doubles in two of the Cascades’ last three non-conference games, and Maple Ridge Secondary product Head has earned the starting point guard spot. “Perhaps our most pleasing part about our exhibition schedule has been the play of those two freshmen,” Tuchscherer said. “Playing at highly demanding positions at point guard and centre, and really stepping up and exceeding my expectations for what they were going to bring to the table this season.”

In the Chilliwack Chiefs 7-2 win over the Surrey Eagles last Friday at Prospera Centre, we may have seen something we’ve never seen before. There’s no way to be sure, as box scores from 1990s through the early 2000s are difficult to locate, but I’m fairly confident in saying that last week’s game was the first game in which the Chiefs have not taken a penalty. There have been games with no opposition power plays but nobody I’ve talked to can remember a Chiefs team going an entire game without taking a penalty. If anyone can prove different please let me know. Despite the lack of records from the team’s first 10 years, anyone who saw those teams play will, I think, agree with me that the chances of any of those teams playing a penalty free game were slim. Those Chiefs teams played intimidating hockey. They’d rough you up and take their chances on the penalty kill. A few ‘good’ penalties early in games at the Chilliwack Coliseum went a long way to the Chiefs taking over games in the third period. Two home games this weekend as the Chiefs start a very important month of the season. If the Chiefs, winners of four straight are going to challenge for first place in the Mainland division, they need to take advantage of their November schedule which is by far the friendliest left on the schedule. Of the nine games they will play this month, seven of them will be played at Prospera Centre. The Chiefs are good on home ice. They’ve won six of their

Find quality employees.

first nine home games with two of the losses coming in overtime. November is the last month with more home games than road games and their only two road games this month are an hour away in Surrey. Two of their home games are against Prince George so four of the nine games the Chiefs will play this month are against teams with a combined record of 9-26-0-1. The Langley team that we will see Friday night is different than the one we saw defeat the Chiefs 3-2 in double overtime here on Oct 3. Since then they’ve added forward Torrin White, who spent four seasons in the Western Hockey League with the Moose Jaw Warriors. They also acquired forward Logan Mick from Salmon Arm. Mick has a goal and three assists since joining the Rivermen. You won’t see former Chiefs forward Ben Butcher in a Langley uniform as he was dealt to Vernon earlier this week. Sunday the Chiefs host Salmon Arm. They’ve dropped two straight games but they head into weekend action with a very impressive record of 11-4-2-1. Sunday will be their third game in three nights. This is the second and final meeting this season between the two teams. They played to a very entertaining 4-4 tie in Salmon Arm earlier this season. As with all Sunday home games, the puck drops at 5 p.m. and fans are invited to join the team for a skate after the game. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Wild Katz bringing ball hockey back Can’t skate? No problem. There’s a place for women who love hockey but are vertically challenged when it comes to playing on ice: the Chilliwack Ball Hockey League. Friday nights, the old Ag Rec Hall on Spadina Avenue buzzes with four consecutive women’s games on the huge concrete floor. Sunday nights, the men go at it. Plywood sheets are propped up along the edges and corners to keep the ball on the playing surface. Vocal fans take their places in the bleachers or along the east flank. It has the sound and feel of an ice hockey arena — except it’s warm. Long-time fan and former player, Deanna John says, “I haven’t played in seven or eight years, due to an injury, but they want me to come and yell at them.”

John was a founding member of the women’s team, which used to be called the Ravens. Now they’re the Wild Katz — a nod to the Katz Reserve on Highway #7, where many of the players have roots. “We were playing since about 1980 in the old Ag Rec hall in Agassiz,” says John. “Before that, in the tiny hall at Seabird and at Chehalis. “Carol Peters was on the team and she has two daughters playing now, Amy and Rachel. Rose Peters was on the team and her daughter Christy plays now.” Other than the goalie, who is fully protected, the women wear minimal safety gear, maybe the odd kneepad or shin pad. “You can get welts that will last for weeks,” recalls John, grinning. The ball isn’t as hard or heavy as a puck — but

some of these women have powerful shots. Vanessa James, of Dogwood Valley joined her cousins on the team this year, playing defence. She could easily borrow a pair of hockey gloves from her kids or husband but chooses to go the minimalist route. “I played with lacrosse gloves during my first season,” she says, “but I didn’t get as much wrist movement so I opted to play without. I took a slash to the thumb during the Brigade Days tournament, which only just stopped hurting in the last week or two. “This is my first season to play defence and it’s a bit intimidating,” says James, “but I like it because I can see the game, as a whole, easier. “I love hockey,” she adds. “I wish I could play ice hockey but I’m not a good skater, so this is the next best thing. I find myself still thinking of the game as if it was on the ice but it doesn’t quite transfer over.

Good Sport of the week!

While they flew sideline to sideline making tackles, Jace Nessel and DJ Stephens wreaked havoc in the Langley backfield. The defensive line of James Leblanc and Vincent Braunauer with Tye Wein and Aiden Parks, gave Langley backs no room to run. Defensive backs Kenyan Reid, Wyatt Stobbs, Jared Rahnborn and Ryan Jansen had the answer for the Bears air attack. On offence, Saunders and Lucas Feaver split reps at quarterback and Caverly produced the only Chilliwack touch-

● Chilliwack’s atom Red Giants thumped the White Giants 38-14 in their regular season finale. The all-local clash on Halloween day saw the Red Giants offence march up and down the field behind the bruising blocks of Kaden Andersen and Joshua Dunn. On the defensive side, lineman Cameron Head was a disruptive force while cornerbacks Noah Johnson and Quinn Laynes locked down the White Giant attack. Haiden Strieling was named player of the game for the Red Giants, who are home at Townsend Park for their playoff opener this weekend.

Connor MacMillan and his University of the Fraser Valley mens’ soccer squad visit the UBC Thunderbirds tonight (7:30 p.m. at Thunderbirds Stadium) with a national berth on the line. See next week’s Progress sports section to see how they did.

Prosperity is bringing people together to share in the warmth of the season.

Fred was born in Chilliwack, BC on December 25, 1939; a Christmas baby who grew into a man of great strength and character who loved his family dearly. Like the generations before him, he excelled at everything he put his mind and body to; Boxing, Logging Sports, Tug-of-war, Lacrosse, Canoe Pulling, Hunting, Fishing, Horse Riding, Calf Roping and more. Fred, always a hard worker, was a fixture in the community; ever ready to lend his energy and support to help those around him in the place he loved. With that handsome smile, Fred was a born story teller who entertained generations with his tales of Sasquatch adventures, unexplained phenomenon and native lore. Dad, like so many, loved the musical stylings of Johnny Cash and could always be encouraged to get up and sing a ballad or two at a night of Karaoke; one of the many favorite pastimes that he and Donna enjoyed together.

Dorothy (87 years) Sadly, we announce the passing of a very special and loving aunt on October 28, 2015. Dorothy passed away peacefully at Cascade Hospice in Chilliwack. Dorothy was born November 27, 1927 at Chilliwack General Hospital and lived in Chilliwack all her life. She was predeceased by her husband Larry Ewald Loverick on February 1, 2015. She met Larry, the love of her life, while working as a painter in a logging camp. At 5’2”, Dorothy was the smallest of 10 children in her family. Because she was so petite, her family nicknamed her “Doll”. She helped Larry in the construction of their home in Popkum, BC. Not afraid of heights, she climbed ladders and helped put the shingles on the roof. She and Larry started up their own cabinet making business. In their business, she was bookkeeping, did sanding and painting, plus staining, varnishing and finishing. No job was too small or too large for petite Dorothy. In her spare time, with apron on, you would find her busy in the kitchen doing what she loved best - cooking, baking and canning. Dorothy (Doll) was a fabulous cook. When you went for a visit, you could tell she had been baking by the scrumptious aroma coming from the kitchen when you opened the door. Every day of the week a neighbour, friend, or family member would stop by their home. As soon as company arrived, the tea kettle was on and out came her large and delicious variety of home baked goods. If not in her kitchen, you could find her out in her immaculate garden tending to her flower beds and vegetables. She also loved company and she would encourage friends from out of town to spend a day or more with them. Entertaining was always a priority for her. Many family picnics and holiday celebrations were held at their home. She had no children and her nieces and nephews were her family. We remember her for her fabulous cooking; her scrumptious baking homemade bread and buns, angel food cakes, fancy squares and cookies; great homemade dill pickles, bread & butter pickles and lady rose relish. Dorothy was predeceased by her father and mother, Thomas and Rosina George; six brothers, Tom, Albert, Walt, William (Bill), Doug and Frank; three sisters Kathleen, Louise (Sue) and Irene. She is survived by her sister-in-law Jean George, Williams Lake, BC and many nieces and nephews from BC to NS; and two nieces in Australia and Ireland. A special thank you to Drs. Bartel, Dueck and Bull. Also, a big thank you to the caring and compassionate staff at Cascade Manor and Hospice. Her many nieces and nephews will always remember her as a kind, caring and loving aunt. We will all miss you very much and have many favourite special memories. She will be fondly remembered and missed by many neighbours and friends. No funeral or memorial service will be held as per her request. Donations in her memory may be made to a charity of your choice.
