Hemlock gets $1.5 billion expansion plan go-ahead
■ W ET M ARCH
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A unique collaboration and a bold master plan will usher in a major transformation of Hemlock Resort into an all-season resort. A five-phase expansion of the ski hill was announced Thursday from Hemlock Valley, featuring an innovative partnership between the B.C. government, Langley-based Berezan Group and Sts’ailes a Band.

Now the “controlled” recreation area of the resort is set to explode from 350 hectares to 6,000 hectares. CEPCO president Brian Coombes said he could see the inherent logic of turning Hemlock Resort into a yearround attraction. “From a tourism perspective, the strength of Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley is as a regional destination. So having Hemlock Resort developed over time the way they are planning to, will

Eight vacant house fires so far this year Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Firefighters were called out in the middle of the night to another vacant house fire last week. The deliberately set fire was the eighth vacant house to go up in flames so far this year in Chilliwack. But officials say that despite the relatively high number there is no set pattern to the evidence. So that makes it unlikely it’s the work of a firebug. The most recent arson fire saw crews from two firehalls battle the flames on Nov. 6 at 2 a.m. in
the 7000-block of Lickman Road. The structure was completely destroyed by fire, according to Chilliwack Fire Department’s Mike Bourdon, assistant fire chief. He used the incident as a reminder that the Fire Department urges owners of vacant properties slated for future development, to secure them properly, and ensure windows are boarded up. “These buildings should be demolished as soon as possible due to the fact that a fire within a vacant structure significantly increases the risk to fire fighter
safety and surrounding exposures,” he said. Despite the numbers, Mayor Sharon Gaetz reported that fire and RCMP investigators are actively looking into the arson files, and have reassured city officials that there is “no set fire pattern” in evidence with these incidents that would lead anyone to suggest a serial arsonist was at work. “That set our minds at ease,” she said. It’s also important for owners of vacant buildings to ensure utility companies disconnect all services, like gas, electricity and
water, Bourdon said. Mayor Gaetz said the numbers show that about half the vacant buildings still have utilities connected. This Lickman Road fire was deliberately set and is under investigation by Chilliwack Fire Department and RCMP fire investigators. If anyone has any information , they are asked to call the RCMP at 604-792-4611 or anonymously through Crimestoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477) or www.chilliwackcrimestoppers.ca jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Next section of dike upgrading moves forward Jennifer Feinberg The Progress City of Chilliwack is moving ahead with the ongoing process of dike upgrading. The next section running through Hope River-Corbould park, is geared to raising the dike elevation by one metre to meet provincial flood control standards. A request for expression of interest (RFEI) went out Oct. 19 to get engineering bids for the preliminary design of the Town Dike Upgrade project, which spans from Young and Hope River Roads,
to Schweyey Road at Chilliwack Mountain. The issue of protecting local First Nations land from flooding came up in comments from the public during the last section of dike upgrading on Young Road, where the road was elevated by one metre for a one-kilometre stretch. “The right-of-way through the Skwah First Nations is currently under discussion and will require the preliminary design for a bypass (temporary/emergency) dyke” according to details on the city’s RFEI document map online.
The RFEI closes on Nov. 18, and will be followed by a request for proposals (RFP) going out to short-listed teams by Dec. 2, according to online documents from city officials. “The estimated budget for engineering work will be provided at the RFP stage and is estimated to be $180,000,” according to the RFEI documents. The RFP will close on Jan 12. A pre-selection process will be used at city hall to identify three qualified proponents to bid on the project. The objective of the RFEI is to
get proponents to submit “engineering design solutions” for upgrading the Town Dike to provincial flood protection standards, while considering cost effectiveness and performance issues. City contractors completed the section of dike that runs along Young Road to Hope River Road in September. The proponents will be comparing existing engineering drawings as well as identifying right-ofway requirements, among others requirements. “A crucial component of the preliminary design is to under-
Local Elks mark 95 years of service Sam Bates The Progress “Sometimes it’s like we’re the best kept secret in the community,” laughed Jerry Wernicke, membership director at Elks Lodge in Chilliwack. But they don’t try to be. The local Elks have been working diligently and generously under the radar for quite some time. After 95 years, they’ve built up a strong yet quiet reputation as an incredible charitable organization in the community. The Chilliwack Elks (Lodge #48) will be celebrating their 95th anniversary on Nov. 14 at the Mount Cheam Lions Club. Elk members and their guests will be joined by local politicians and representatives from Elks of Canada for a dinner, reception and dance to commemorate the milestone. Wernicke filled out his initial Elks membership application in 1982 while enjoying a steak, cooked by local Elks where he lived in Fort Nelson. Within a month, he was behind the grill donning an Elk pin of his own. Wernicke’s home Lodge has been in Chilliwack for the past 22 years. He actually served as Grand Exalted Ruler, meaning President at the national level, from 2011 to 2012, when Chilliwack hosted the national Elks convention. When Ken Johnsgaard retired in 2010, he decided to join the Elks as a means to stay social and continue to give back to his community. “It just progressed from there,” Johnsgaard explained. “Before I knew it, jeez - I was President!” The public may still view Elks as a fraternal organization, which they were for many decades. However, a referendum vote in 1997 brought them together with sister organization, the Ladies of the Royal Purple. The now family-oriented

It’s a dedicated phone line that is connecting upper Fraser Valley residents in need with a doctor or primary care provider. And it is working. Hundreds of people actively sought out a doctor in the past year by contacting Patient Attachment Mechanism (PAM), from Chilliwack Seeing the Division of Family figures Practice, according to a report to you put up city council. today, it’s A total of 1273 people exciting in Chilliwack, Agassiz or Hope, ~ Mayor who’d been seekSharon ing a physician, were successGaetz fully connected, or “attached” to a physician or nurse practitioner, as of September 2015. That included 720 people in Chilliwack alone, according to the report. They had to work on “managing community expectations,” at the outset, said Katrina Bepple, PAM program lead, in a report to city council. It was unlikely they could ensure someone could make a call and get a doctor appointment for the next day. “There is a process,” she explained, that patients had to undergo before they were connected with a primary care provider, either a physician, nurse practitioner or primary care clinic. Those with more urgent needs were triaged, and they worked to find the

organization is made up of men and women who are motivated to serve their communities. Wernicke and Johnsgaard’s spouses Beverly and Yvonne have been included in Chilliwack’s membership for years. “It’s been quite an improvement to have the ladies join. They keep us guys on our toes,” Wernicke revealed. Elk volunteers are most known for their services to children. Their national charity fund provides financial assistance to children and youth’s medical needs, supports and promotes awareness for programs geared toward children with hearing and speech disorders, and provides bursaries to students studying communicative disorders. They also offer three accessible camps in B.C. which provide fun, recreational activities

take public outreach to ensure that adjacent property owners and residents and user groups are well informed and able to participate in meaningful decision-making, resulting in community buy-in,” according to city documents. The design solutions must also “address the significant elevation change as it relates to adjacent property landscaping and the side street road and driveway access. “Drainage control also presents a challenge as many adjacent property owners report existing drainage issues.”

and accommodations for any organized group of children at no cost. “Our immediate concern is kids,” Johnsgaard explained, “but we don’t stop there. We help people in need.” Locally, the list of organizations, events, and individuals that they have supported is endless. In 2014 alone, the Chilliwack Elks donated upwards of $45,000 and innumerable volunteer hours to assist groups in the community including Chilliwack Community Services, Safety Village, Kiwanis clubs and local sports teams. They take on individual cases too. They’ve helped a family who desperately needed a new transmission in their van, local athletes who dreamed of attending international competitions, and they’ve provided heart monitors and fire alarms for Chilliwack
schools. The Elks have invited three of their most primarily supported organizations to receive a donation at the anniversary event: The Salvation Army, Ruth & Naomi’s Mission, and the Ann Davis Transition Society. Once you join the Elks, you tend to stick around. “It gets in your blood,” Johnsgaard enthused. “The outcomes are really special… to see the results of what these kids are getting.” Also attending the event are four of Chilliwacks longest-participating Elks. Between Bob Fraser, Don Crowe, Wes Norrish and Gordon Pybis, there are over 200 years of membership. If you are interested in learning more about Elks or becoming a member, visit www.elks-canada.org or contact the Chilliwack Lodge at 604-392-4414.

immediately evident in the smiling employees who took the stage. Andrea Wetteland has been employed with A&W in Abbotsford since July, and she’s having an “awesome” time working there. “No matter what challenges I have, they’re always willing to be there for support,” she said. Eddy Solla was hired as a greeter at Home Depot in Chilliwack in March. He’s since been training in many departments, he’s learned 80 per cent of the product inventory, and he’s also developed great social relationships with his coworkers. Inclusive employers from Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Hope were recognized, including those who have
recently hired an individual with a disability and those who have reached a milestone of inclusive hiring practices. To name a few, Decades Coffee Club, Denbow, and the Chilliwack RCMP were celebrated for over five years of inclusive employment, Safeway Abbotsford for over 10 years, and Abbotsford Community Services and the City of Chilliwack were commended for over 15 years. The benefits of employment for persons with disabilities are the same as they are for everyone else. “Gainful employment is a needed component of living a fulfilled life. It’s a means to independence. It has a positive impact on our identity. It gives us social support. It gives us purpose,” Voss remarked. The Rotary at Work initiative, conducted in partnership between rotary clubs, Community Living B.C., Inclusion B.C. and their generous sponsors, seeks to connect more hard-working, qualified individuals with fulfilling work.

ee, the fellow staff and the customers love the joy, diversity and the new perspective that he brings to the work environment. Laser shared the comment that Michelle Pronk posted on Decades’ Facebook page: “What is a disability, really? When the individual hired does the job well and with a smile for the customer, that is not a disability. That is an asset.” And the event attendees couldn’t agree more. Teri Voss, district HR manager at Home Depot Canada shared some data to gain the confidence of those who may be reluctant to hire persons with disabilities. She pointed out that 90 per cent of employees with a disability rated average or better on job performance than their non-disabled coworkers. Furthermore, she shared statistics demonstrating that persons with disabilities rate high on attendance, employee retention, and safety at work. Voss has witnessed this first-hand. The employees she’s worked with at Home Depot who have disabilities consistently deliver on results and have a positive mindset that is contagious throughout the workforce. That positivity was

“You’re here because you believe in inclusive employment,” said Julie Unger, executive director for Chilliwack Society for Community Living (CSCL) and a member of the Rotary Club of Chilliwack. She was addressing the large crowd of local Rotarians, employers, and their employees, who had gathered at the Best Western on Oct. 29 for the Rotary at Work celebration event. They gathered to address the employment rate for Canadians aged 25 to 64 who have disabilities, which is just 49 per cent. That statistic is one that every person in the room was motivated to change. Assistant governor of the Rotary Club of Chilliwack Brad Whittaker stressed that everyone in the community should be able to find enjoyment in work and to reap the rewards of hard work, regardless of their abilities. And for employers, there is incredible value in hiring individuals with disabilities. Those messages are the essence of the Rotary at Work initiative, which has quickly spread from one district in Ontario in 2008 to now hundreds of clubs and thousands of Rotarians. District 5050 was actually the first district outside of Ontario to embrace the program. “The program is moving forward at a wonderful pace,” said Dave Stark, Rotary at Work project coordinator. Ron Laser, Rotarian and owner of Decades Coffee Club, proudly spoke of his employee Justin and the great impact that he has on the business. Not only is Justin a dependable and dedicated employ-

News RAN ‘Wearhouse’ for the those in need Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Ruth and Naomi’s Mission is setting up a downtown clothing distribution centre. “We’re calling it the RAN ‘Wearhouse’ to use a bit of creativity,� said RAN executive director Bill Raddatz. The modular structure should be up and running by the end of November, he said. “It will be for anyone in need of clothing.� The RAN Wearhouse will be
open between 9:30 and 11:30 a.m. on weekdays and staffed by some of the 250 RAN volunteers. The plan is to set up in an adjacent parking lot to the east of the mission’s main building at Fletcher and Margaret downtown. It will consolidate the three spots where they currently store donated clothing and outer wear to hand out to guests. “The parking lot is on property owned by someone who allows us to use it,� he said. A temporary use permit was approved unanimously by city
council last, since the existing commercial zoning did not allow for that use. A three-year TUP was approved along with slightly varied setback requirements. They’ll be removing four parking stalls to make room. They now rotate between two other clothing storage areas. They already receive blankets, parkas, clothing as donations but now it will all be centralized. RAN volunteers typically give out about 1200 items of clothing per month. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

ICBC ends special credit card payments ICBC no longer allows customers who are on monthly payment plans to make special lumpsum or early payments by credit card. There were 55,000 such payments made last year â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a small fraction of the 1.4 million customers on monthly payment plans. Regular monthly payments have always been required to be by preauthorized debit from a bank account, but early payments in advance of the regular ones or lumpsum payments to end the monthly plan could be made by credit card, said spokesman Adam Grossman. The move to end that option effective Nov. 1 is expected to save ICBC up to $1 million a year in credit card merchant fees. Monthly plan users can still make early or lumpsum payments by debit, cheque or cash. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We as a company have to look at any of the premium costs that we can remove,â&#x20AC;? Grossman said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And this is one where we definitely thought it was a worthwhile move to make.â&#x20AC;? About 44 per cent of all motorists use an ICBC payment plan, while the rest pay their annual insurance all at once, many of them by credit card. That option is not affected by the change. A 5.5 per cent basic auto insurance premium increase announced last month by ICBC took effect Nov. 1. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still subject to approval by the B.C. Utilities Commission.

Cabinet shows promise
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
There’s been a lot written about the members of the new cabinet since they were sworn in a couple of weeks ago. Not surprisingly, not all of it is complimentary. Trudeau has been questioned on everything from the experience of his new cabinet members — 18 of them are starting their first term as an MP — to whether it really meets his goal of gender parity, or even if gender parity was desirable in the first place. Pundits can pontificate all they want, but as the old saying goes, the proof is in the pudding; meaning that we won’t know how this cabinet is going to perform until they actually get going. But what stands out for us in Trudeau’s choices is how often he chose real world experience over political “experience.” A good case in point is Harjit Sajjan, a retired lieutenant-colonel, decorated veteran of three tours in Afghanistan and one in Bosnia, and a former police officer. That’s a lot of practical insight he will be bringing to the job of Minister for National Defence. Like the balance with gender parity, the cabinet balances the new faces with familiar ones, like Ralph Goodale; over the course of more than three decades, he has held major cabinet positions in both Jean Chrétien and Paul Martin’s liberal governments. Then there is appointing Jody Wilson-Raybould as Minister of Justice and attorney-general, perhaps Trudeau’s most inspired choice: the first aboriginal federal justice minister and just the third woman to hold the job, with six years as regional chief of the B.C. Assembly of First Nations, and street level experience with the justice system as a prosecutor in Vancouver courts. It’s far too early to speculate on what Wilson-Raybould is going to bring to Justice, but she is sure to bring a new perspective to one of the most important portfolios. Likewise, we have to wait and see how this cabinet works together in running the country, but the potential is there for positive change. ~ Black Press

Dark days of Canada’s non-action on climate over No one was really surprised when President Obama cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline project last week. After nearly seven years of dilly-dallying, he made the strategic statement in the lead-up to the all-important international climate conference (COP21) in Paris at the end of the month. He gave Prime Minister Trudeau a heads up before making the announcement and, while Trudeau may have expressed disappointment (he was in favour of this TransCanada Corporation project going ahead), it’s not going to stand in the way of the two leaders developing a positive and constructive relationship in the future. After all, they are both on board about dealing with the consequences of climate change. “If we’re going to prevent large parts of this Earth from becoming not only inhospitable but
uninhabitable in our lifetimes, we’re going to have to keep some fossil fuels in the ground rather than burn them and release more dangerous pollution into the sky,” Obama said. In a couple of weeks, the governments of more than 190 nations will be in Paris to discuss – and hopefully ratify - a new global agreeMargaret ment on climate EVANS change aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in order to avoid the threat of dangerous climate change. Many believe we’re already on an irreversible path but the mitigation focus is for a massive cutback in carbon-driven energy. COP21 comes at a time when oil prices have dropped by more
than 50 per cent since the middle of last year. According to the International Energy Agency, they are likely going to stay low for the next five years because of plentiful supply and a falling demand in developed countries. A lot can happen in the next five years in terms of stepped-up investment in clean renewable energy. A long-term de-carbonization plan is essential to stimulate investment in renewable energy development. There are already some promising signs. According to the IEA’s World Energy Outlook 2015 report, “Renewables contributed almost half of the world’s new power generation capacity in 2014.” The report forecasts that consumption of fossil fuel energy will continue to decline in the next twenty-five years as China’s dependence on coal plateaus, and demand for oil by the U.S. and

the European Union declines by around four million barrels per day as viable alternatives kick in. Global demand for natural gas will be up by 47 per cent and oil and coal will collectively relinquish nine per cent of the global energy mix while renewables grow by five per cent. But natural gas, of course, comes with its own dark side given the consequences of fracking. It’s a start but not enough yet to reach the target of keeping the world’s temperature increase to below two degrees C. Additional steps are needed including increasing investment in renewable energy technologies to $400 billion by 2030 from $270 billion last year. Over the next five years, renewable energy will represent the largest single source of electricity growth driven by falling costs and an aggressive expan-
sion in emerging economies. With the dark days of Canada’s non-action on climate change under the Harper government behind us, PM Justin Trudeau and a posse of ministerial and provincial leaders will attend COP21. He’s taking his change message to Paris with the intent to re-set Canada’s commitment to mitigate climate change and rebuild relationships. Coming up locally on November 19 is a screening of the documentary This Changes Everything based on Naomi Klein’s international best-selling book. It will be shown at G.W. Graham theatre, 45955 Thomas Road, Chilliwack, at 7 p.m. It’s 90 minutes long and sponsored by the Council of Canadians, Chilliwack Chapter. Following the presentation there will be a panel discussion.

Planning for the future of our past Crossing had grown together to encompass what became know as the Canadian Forces Base Chilliwack. There were 2500 military and civilian employees on base and in 1992 the camp alone put $77.2 million dollars back into the local economy. It was situated on 138 acres of farmland that had been originally purchased for $20,000.00. The camp’s first 1200 troops came off the train, formed a parade, and marched through the main section of town through sidewalks full of welcoming townspeople. The community embraced the troops by helping them with anything from doing their laundry to sharing their homes. Hard work and long hours by the troops, cleared the land, put in roadbeds, evacuated for buildings and dug wells to lay water pipes. At the same time, these men and women were being trained to go overseas and fight for us. The community again helped by supporting the families left behind when they were gone. Some did not come home. In 1991 a community-wide campaign was launched to reinforce the community’s commitment to the base in order to convince

From 1858-1959, a military presence was established in the area of Chilliwack when the Royal Engineers manned five camps to support the Canada-US Border Commission Survey. It was then decided in 1941 that the Canadian Engineering Training Centre would be moved from Dundurn, Saskatchewan to the Chilliwack area. It would be the only institution of its kind in Canada. Reasons for choosing this area included the mild weather and the challenging local terrain of mountains and lakes. It made for an efficient year round training site. Originally known as “Vedder Crossing”, it was established in April 1942 as a direct result of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour. Its purpose was to create a west coast military presence during World War 2. The area became known as Sardis Camp. It was rugged and a distance away from the main town. In 1966, “Camp Chilliwack” as it had then become known, again changed its name. It became the Canadian Forces Base Chilliwack as basic training was integrated into the three elements of army, air, and navy. By 1992, Chilliwack, Sardis and Vedder

THE SBBC AWARDS.
Farm family grateful for support We would like to thank all of you who came out to help us when our farm burned down on October 27. We could not have done it without your help. Unfortunately we lost 120 of our cows, but all the rest of the girls were rescued by the quick action of those who stopped everything they were doing to come to the rescue! We were truly amazed by all the help. We had very little time to get the cows out of the burning barns, and without the assistance of neighbours and random passersby, we would not have saved the ones we did. From keeping the herd together, to making a human corral with rope and people, everyone pitched in to make things go smooth. The Hope, Popkum, and Agassiz Fire Departments worked
tirelessly through the afternoon and evening to keep the fire under control and prevent it from spreading to the house. In addition the Hope Police Department and BC Ambulance Service were also on hand to ensure the safety of the crew and provided valuable support. The farming community rallied around us and within an hour of the blaze, cattle trucks lined up to transfer our traumatized animals to safe farms around the Fraser Valley. A special thanks to Gary Baars and brother Wim Klop for their fantastic organizing skills in getting the word out and taking charge in relocating all our livestock. For those family, friends and neighbours who came with food, coffee, drinks and support for those involved, your thoughtfulness is also very much
appreciated. A big thank you to all you farmers who took in our cattle: Wim Kloot, Mark Kostering, Mark Dalton, Theo Van Der Kooi, Ron Neels, Harvey Haan, Peter Hansen, Isaac Wisse and Janet Slootweg. An extra thanks to Dirk Boer, Mike Boer & Kevin Mammel for taking in, milking and feeding our cows. Thanks to Gerry De Groot, Tony Van Laerhoven and Tom Nash for the use of your farming facilities. Thanks to all the trades that came out to help. Sam Klaassen, we thank you very much for the unpleasant cleanup of the ruins of our farm. Ben Meinen, Pacific Dairy and JD Farm Service for bring the empty barns up to milking standards. Voltage Solutions for dealing promptly with the
electrical hazards following the fire. Ryan Mowat for restoring water to the farm house, and for use of your equipment. Avenue Equipment/Henk Klop for transfer of equipment. The B.C. Milk Marketing Board also receives our sincere thanks for helping us in this difficult time, when were are unable to meet our quota requirements. There are so many that have helped us in these past 2 weeks, that we hope we did not forget anyone. Once again, your support in various ways was overwhelming, and will never be forgotten. Above all, we thank God that no lives were taken, or that there were no serious injuries, in this devastation.

Harper government by letting Canada Post off the hook for payments into the plan only hurt Canadian workers. Now they are threatening to take pension money away from people,even ones who are retired. Now that Mr. Strahl is going to be entitled to his own generous pension( after working for only six years), and collecting over $1 million of taxpayer funded money he feels tough enough to attack hard working Canadians. This kind of thinking has to stop and this is why the Harper government was defeated. Ordinar y Canadians are getting sick of our politicians getting rich on taxpayer money while cutting services and benefits to hard working people. Stephen Smirlies, Rosedale
Gerald Doherty: A true friend of Chilliwack libraries We are sad to announce that our friend Gerald Doherty passed away this past Oct. 6, just before he was to move into the Lynnwood Retirement Residence. He was 87 years old, but recently had been in ill health. Gerry was a quiet, unassuming man and a true gentleman. For a number of years he was a loyal Friend of the Chilliwack Libraries Society, and he was involved in senior activities in Chilliwack. His help, when and where he could give it, was always appreciated. Those of us who know Gerry, will miss him. We learned recently that Gerry was an accomplished pianist in his early years. He was a soloist, playing with the West Vancouver Symphony Orchestra – no small feat! Thank you for your friendship, and help in our community, Gerry. You are missed. Rest well.

More Mail Current voting system working just fine Dick Harrington wrote in his letter to the editor that the electorate is ignorant. Seonaigh MacPherson replied that she is confident in the results but blames the electoral process. I take issue with both. True, there are many who choose not to get familiar with all the issues and who vote based on talking points put forward during a campaign; but also true that many choose to look at those they have not supported in the past and
consider the arguments before marking their ballots. This does not mean people are ignorant, it means people have different opinions. I also take issue with the statement that because some don’t feel their vote is represented the process is “seriously flawed” and needs to be “corrected.” Ms. MacPherson says the 10,000 who voted for her “should have mattered more.” On the contrary, I say they matter deeply
in our present system and it does not need to be changed. Their voices bring ideas to the community discussion which potentially influence the thinking of the one who gets elected. Proportional and preferential ballot “solutions” to the “problem” do not recognize the core problem is not what they think it is. The core problem is not that people who voted for someone other than the first-past-the-post winner are not represented, but
rather that they don’t like who represents them. People have different opinions. A system is good when it says “More people like this candidate or party than any other option.” Does it really need to be over 50% to be legitimate? No. Let’s leave the system alone (except, maybe the Senate). Our system may not be perfect, but it’s perfectly good at representing the people.

Kinder Morgan remediation plan prompts concern To all area residents, you should be made aware that Kinder Morgan Canada is about to partake on a Pest Management Plan for its pipeline right-of-ways, through the City of Chilliwack and beyond, to begin after November 30th. The purpose of this plan is to remediate living insects (animal life) with 12 different biological agents, some cancer causing, including glyphosate (Roundup), triclopyr (Garlon), and
2,4-D. Not only are these immediate remediates of insect life, they also pose a leeching threat to run off and ground water, and could include a threat of larger animal life, including human if consumed through contact, water and food chain consumption. This remediation of insect life is unnecessary, and remediation should be contained to plant life only and by physical means, such
Humming birds a backyard delight As a bird lover who has recently retired to Chilliwack, I was happy to learn that the Anna’s hummingbird stays here over winter. Many of my fellow hummingbird fans are apparently unaware of this, or of the fact that wintering hummingbirds are not lost, sick, or genetically different. The Anna’s birds have simply expanded their territory over the years as they are native to the West Coast and therefore do not migrate south. I have had two feeders out in my yard since early summer and am still seeing at least three visitors daily. The Wild Bird Store is a great resource in the city and I have consulted with the staff a few times. I am now preparing to “winterize” my feeders. The usual 1:4 ratio of sugar to water should be maintained through the colder months; sweeter nectar is hard on the kidneys of hummingbirds. Red dye is not good for them either, as it does not metabolize properly. To keep the nectar from freezing during sub-zero weather, the feeders will need to be brought in at night. Some may want to invest in the “Hummers Heated Delight” feeders that are now avail-
able online. Feeding hummingbirds is a real delight. It’s also a responsibility, as the birds come to depend on their food sources. I personally feel that I’ve in a sense adopted my little visitors, as I can see that they do rely on my feeders now. But it’s worth it for me to maintain them as the birds are so much fun to watch. Maybe it will be for you, too. Marjorie Hudson
as hand cutting, pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, and slashing. Anyone wishing to contest this absurd method of pipeline maintenance, should do so by contacting and protesting to the Ministry of the Environment, or by directly contacting Kinder Morgan Canada. Art Green, Hope

Prime Minister Trudeau summons premiers for climate talks Tom Fletcher Black Press Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has called a meeting with premiers in Ottawa to update the country’s position on greenhouse gas reductions before they jet to Paris for the latest United Nations climate summit in early December. “I’m pleased to be able to announce that I will be meeting with the premiers in a First Ministers’ meeting on Nov. 23,” Trudeau told reporters after his first cabinet meeting in Ottawa Thursday. “We are having a climate briefing by top climate scientists for the first ministers and my own cabinet, to be followed by a working dinner with the premiers, to exactly discuss the kind of strong and cohesive message we will be delivering as Canadians in Paris at the very important COP21 conference.” Canada’s current target is to reduce the
PAM helps patients connect
country’s greenhouse gas emissions 30 per cent by 2030. B.C. has a more aggressive target of reducing emissions 33 per cent by 2020, set by former premier Gordon Campbell.
natural gas production, rather than a set limit, has raised questions about how an LNG industry can be developed without pushing overall emissions up. Trudeau has sig-
nalled that he wants more greenhouse gas reduction, but that the provinces should use their preferred approaches rather than face an imposed national strategy. The day
after his majority government was elected Oct. 19, Trudeau said he is looking forward to changing Canada’s reputation as a “less than enthusiastic actor” on climate policy.

PAM from Front right professional for each patient. They looked at factors like those with disabilities or transportation barriers. What they heard from a recent survey was that it was “extremely frustrating” for those who were calling around blindly to various medical offices, trying to find a doctor accepting new patients. What they came up with was a dedicated phone line established at 604-795-0034, that allowed people to call PAM, launched in September 2014. Mayor Sharon Gaetz praised the initiative when the report was given to council. “Seeing the figures you put up today, it’s exciting,” she said. “It’s so good to see people are being looked after and directed to the doctor that will best fit their needs.” Patients from Chilliwack to Boston Bar, can ‘call PAM’, 604795-0034 (for residents of Chilliwack, Agassiz, and Harrison) or tollfree at 1-844-795-0034 (for residents of Hope and the Fraser Canyon).
Premier Christy Clark has so far continued Campbell’s climate policy, with the carbon tax on fuels remaining at the same level as when she took office. Clark has promised

It is still the ideal time to plant your fall bulbs. Plant them in well-drained soil at a depth of three times the diameter of the bulb. Plant bulbs in groupings for the most ‘pop’. With proper planning, you can time your bulbs to bloom in sequence from January through June. I’m a big fan of botanical or species bulbs that naturalize easily and come back each year with an even more impressive dis-
Lifting Bulbs:
I t ’ s the last call for lifting and protecting summer Brian bulbs. MINTER Gladiola corms a n d begonia tubers should have been lifted by now, and they must be kept warm at about 15°C (60°F). It is also the time to lift dahlia and canna tubers. Make sure you dry them thoroughly then dust them with sulphur powder. Keep them from frost, and store them cool 5-10°C (40-50°F). Vegetable Gardens:
Many late vegetables can stay in the garden for winter harvesting. These include turnips, parsnips, brussels sprouts, swiss chard and the new series of winter vegetables. If you do not have proper vegetable storage, you can place a thick mulch of bark over your root crops and leave them in the ground as long Continued: WINTER/ p22

leave your garden looking rather bare. Hardy winter colour, set out now, will add new life and provide much needed interest to your winterscape. Strategically planting winter colour in groups, contrasting blocks of bright colours, like yellow, with more pastel shades, creates the most vibrant effect. Centre groupings of the new spreading ‘Wave’ varieties of pansies with the many unique colours of evergreen carex grasses and add colourful conifers, winter heathers and evergreen perennials, like euphorbias, for winter containers and plantings that come alive now and last through to April.

Fall is a great time to add existing compost to your garden, and there is still time to plant Garden Rejuvenation Mix for
Compost:
invaluable green manure in the spring. Speaking of compost, make sure you take full advantage of all the leaves, old annuals and vegetable stems by composting them
over the winter. You might also wish to add more fine fir or hemlock bark mulch or sawdust to your vegetable garden to improve the drainage next year. Applying lime
is important now too, except of course where you are going to grow potatoes. Lawns:
Cut your lawns quite low (1½-2 inches) one
more time to allow more air circulation in and around the root systems. This can prevent many disease problems. To prevent moss from taking over your lawn,
maintain a high level of nutrients by applying a controlled slow-release, high nitrogen fertilizer and by applying prilled lime at the rate of 10 kilograms per 2000 square feet to prevent acidic soil. It is too late now to seed new lawns, but aerating and sanding existing lawns now would sure make a huge difference. Trees and Shrubs:
Now is the best time to plant most evergreens, fruit trees and shade trees. They are becoming dormant and, once planted, they will immediately form new roots. By spring, they will have well established root systems. Some points to remember: The quality of the soil in which you plant your new trees will determine how well your trees grow. Work in plenty of fine bark mulch to open up and provide good drainage in our heavy clay soils. If your trees are in burlap sacks, you should leave the sack on the rootball – it’s holding all those roots together! Bare root trees can be safely planted now. They will make new roots, getting them off to a great start come spring. If you use a liquid starter, your trees will get a faster start. Evergreen hedges, planted now, will provide a good windbreak for cold winter winds, thereby helping to keep your fuel bill down a little. Hedges will also give you privacy and at the same time, beautify your home. Many fall-flowering trees and shrubs can be planted now to provide winter beauty. These include viburnum ‘Pink Dawn’, autumn-flowering cherries, Chinese witch hazel, ornamental grasses, jasmine and the many varieties of berried plants to name just a few. It is critical that you begin organic dormant spraying with ‘Green Earth Lime Sulphur’ and ‘Horticultural Oil’ in midNovember to control moss, algae, insects and diseases that overwinter on your trees. We are now entering a brand new season, and it is so nice to have our lawns and gardens in shape for the coolest and wettest time of the year. The addition of winter colour is a bonus – one you will appreciate more as winter progresses.

Covey’s fingerprints all over local sports scene
The Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame welcomes its Class of 2015 this weekend. The induction ceremony will be held during the first period intermission of the Saturday night Chilliwack Chiefs game vs Prince George. Jack Covey is being honoured as an inductee in the Judy Fitzsimmons Builder Category. Here is his story. Whenever Jack Covey drives down Hocking Avenue and sees a full parking lot at the YMCA building, a little smile comes across his face. “How that started, that’s always a story,” he says with a grin. In the early 1960s Covey was already getting involved in the local sports scene as part of a volunteer community recreational board set up by the city. “As a group we sat down and said to the city, ‘We have full time jobs and this is becoming too much for us, so we recommend that you hire a recreation director,’” Covey recalls. “But, after a year the city didn’t do anything.” A few years earlier, when he was a student at UBC, Covey had taught swimming lessons at the Vancouver YMCA. “So I had a few contacts there and I thought, ‘Why not have a Y?’” Under the YMCA banner, Covey and company ran an amaz-

ing range of programs — fishing, fencing, softball. “We hired a young Chinese guy and he was very good with these, I don’t know what they were called,” Covey laughs, making nunchuck moves. “Anybody who had an interest, we had people coming forward saying, ‘Yeah I’ll run that program.’” “Eventually, we needed a building.” Covey and crew looked at the piece of property the Coast Hotel now occupies, but couldn’t make it work. The land on Hocking Avenue was plan B, purchased from Rod Cooper. “He was only given the amount of money he originally paid for it, and people couldn’t believe he would do that,” Covey says. “He didn’t make any money on it at all.”
Covey credits Dr. Gerr y Evans with helping him bring the YMCA to Chilliwack, and for developing the building concept that continues to work so well today. “Gerry went around to some Y’s in Alberta and Saskatchewan and he came back saying, ‘What has to be done is, when people enter the building there has to be activity,’” Covey says. “That’s why the pool is where it is. When you come in you see activity right away. And, he wanted it to be a family place for people of all ages.” “So, when I drive by now and see that parking lot full, I pump my fist and say, ‘Yeah! Good decision!’” It can be safely said that 84 year old Covey’s fingerprints are all over Chilliwack sports landscape, with the YMCA
just one example. You can, for instance, make a case that he is the grand-daddy of local football. He brought the first high school program to Chilliwack secondary school in the early 1960s, coaching his crews to three Fraser Valley championships. That was as far as you could go in those days, with no BC championship. “We kind of lucked into that because there was a juvenile program here that couldn’t survive and we took all the equipment,” Covey says. Men from Covey’s teams went on to create Chilliwack Minor Football, which has evolved into one of BC’s top youth football associations. They also helped found the junior football Huskers. “John Halsell was in
Grade 11 or 12 when he started with us on one of the original teams,” Covey says. “He says to me now, ‘Jack, those were the best two years of my life.’” “He wasn’t one of the best athletes, but he was part of a team and felt like he was part of a school.” The program went away when all of its rivals folded. Transportation costs shut down programs at Abbotsford, Aldergrove, Langley and Maple Ridge, leaving Chilliwack with no local foes. “When they dropped the team I was devastated because of all those years and all that energy put into it,” Covey says. Covey had an equally large impact with Chilliwack secondary school’s biggest rival, Sardis secondary school.

It was Covey who brought that school’s athletic department into existence in 1956 when it was still called Sardis junior secondary school. “What an opportunity when you talk about doing something,” Covey says excitedly. “I established the colours. I got the uniforms and the crest.” “I taught and coached 150 boys in that school, and coached soccer, basketball and track and field.” A few years ago, Covey proudly watched his grandson Michael don Falcon green in high school as he starred for the Sardis senior boys squad. A highlight for sure. If there’s one more thing Covey points to as a career highlight, it’s bringing swim lessons to Chilliwack in the early 1960s.
While still going to UBC, Covey worked summers as a lifeguard at Cultus Lake’s Main Beach. He started swim lessons then, and went next level when he arrived in Chilliwack full time. “I used to go around the community to people I know who had kids and a private pool, and I said to them, ‘Look, I’ll teach your kid to swim for free if you let me use your pool every morning.’” “They said, ‘No problem Jack. Come on in.’ So I ran five kids per class and five classes every morning for the month of July.” “A lot of kids I taught in those first programs are coming up on retirement now.” Ever ything Covey accomplished was done with one goal in mind, to bring more activity to Chilliwack. He expressed that succinctly during a YMCA board meeting decades ago. “At one point the YMCA board was getting annoyed that some of the people we were training as instructors were leaving us and going to Greendale to start another program,” he says. “I said, ‘Great! We’re doing what we’re supposed to be doing. We’re adding activity to the community.” These days Covey is still active, pounding the pavement on behalf of the BC Football Conference Valley Huskers. Though the team has experienced hard times over the last decade, he’s never stopped being their biggest booster. “I hope my former students and players would say I’ve affected their life in a positive way and made them feel part of a team,” he says. “You never know what’s going to happen when you drop that stone in the puddle.”

Surrey win costly with Sukumaran sidelined Late in the second period of Wednesday’s game Sukumaran was checked into the boards by Surrey’s Brett Stewart, writes Jacob Bestebroer With seven straight wins the Chilliwack Chiefs have moved into a tie with the Wenatchee Wild for first place in the Mainland division. They hold a five point cushion over the Langley Rivermen, who’ve lost three straight, and the Chiefs sit second overall in the BCHL. Chilliwack’s most recent win, a 4-1 decision in Surrey Wednesday afternoon, was their fifth win in five games versus the Eagles this season. In those five games the Chiefs have outscored the Eagles 27-4.
Surrey has now lost nine straight and have dropped to last place in the league with just four wins in 22 games. The Chiefs will be without leading scorer Vimal Sukumaran for the next while. Late in the second period of Wednesday’s game he was checked into the boards by Brett Stewart, who was given a five minute major and game misconduct for boarding. Paramedics were called and he was taken to hospital. He suffered a concussion on the play, but all other tests came back negative. It’s unknown how
long he will be out of the lineup. The Chiefs will look to continue their winning streak tonight (Friday) in Surrey. In a strange scheduling quirk, the Chiefs will have played Surrey six times before they see another Mainland division rival, Prince George, once. The Spruce Kings are here Saturday night, with a 7 p.m. start time. Much of the credit for Chilliwack’s current win streak goes to the team’s defensive play. They’ve only given up nine goals in seven games while scoring
30. They haven’t given up more than two goals in any of the seven wins. Team discipline and penalty killing has been key as well as they’ve limited opposition power plays to 23 while only surrendering four power play goals. Should the Chiefs extend their winning streak through this weekend, they’ll have a chance to add to it on home ice when they host Powell River and Wenatchee next weekend. For those wondering, the Chiefs team record for most consecutive wins is 12 set during the 1995-96 season. During the first period intermission of Saturday’s game, the 1993-94 Chilliwack midget AAA Hockey
team will be inducted into the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame. They remain the only Chilliwack based team to win the BC Midget AAA championship. They were a fun team to watch and many of their games were played before large crowds at the Chilliwack Coliseum. Several members of that team went on to play for the Chiefs. Four players from that team — Aaron Hoggan, Chris Larsen, Jeremy Lapeyre and Mike Pfeifer — joined the Chiefs for their first BCHL championship the following season. Two more, Brandon Tournier and Chad Martz, got into a few games with the Chiefs during the 1995-96 season. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net
Cascades face tough test This weekend is the final opportunity for local hoops fans to see the University of the Fraser Valley basketball teams play at home prior to the Christmas break. The Cascades host the MacEwan Griffins in Canada West regular season action on Friday (women 6 p.m., men 8 p.m.) and Saturday (women 5 p.m., men 7 p.m.) at the Envision Athletic Centre in Abbotsford. The MacEwan women’s hoopsters had the Cascades’ number last season, winning all four head-to-head meetings. The Cascades (1-1) are coming off a weekend split with UBCO, while the Griffins (2-0) authored a pair of lopsided home wins over Mount Royal. “They’re just a handful,” Tuchscherer said of the Griffins. “They’re a really experienced team, and they run things with a lot of sophistication. They have kids who really know who to play together, and that makes them a really difficult match-up for anybody.” In the early going, UFV guard Shayna Cameron (Chilliwack) sits second in Canada West scoring at 21.5 points per game, while Kayli Sartori (Chilliwack) ranks 11th with an average of 15.5 points. Rookie forward Taylor Claggett is coming off a fantastic debut weekend – she’s second in the conference with 13.5 rebounds per game, to go with 14.5 points. “We still don’t share the ball at the level that we need to, and defend at the level we need to yet,” Tuchscher said. “But there’s been some strides.” See ufvcascades.ca

After slogging through the slop to win their regular season finale in Mission last weekend, the GW Graham Grizzlies are back on turf Saturday
missing the game for a rugby commitment, Jordon Breuker was the lead running back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was getting hammered,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mission played really well on D.â&#x20AC;? On one of the few passing plays that worked, Gabe Olivares hooked up with Ethan Mastin on a 22 yard scoring strike that put the Grizzlies up 9-0. Spencer Breslin booted a field goal to make it 12-0 and Breuker got away for a 55 yard
Neither team could get traction in the muck, and when Smithâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crew got two points on a safety early in the game, he turned to someone on the sideline and said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;That might be enough.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mission didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a single first down, punting on every possession. GWGâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s normally dominant ground game was stifled by the Roadrunners, who stacked the box with eight or nine defenders. With Von Richardson
for their playoff opener. The Grizzlies beat the Mission Roadrunners 19-0 to stay unbeaten at 5-0 and claim first place in the Eastern conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That Mission game was sloppy, with pouring rain and a field that was just terrible,â&#x20AC;? said Grizzlies head coach Laurie Smith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were actually playing in the middle of the field in six inches of mud, old school.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We still donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have our jerseys cleaned.â&#x20AC;?
touchdown run to wrap up the scoring. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was one of those where somebody slipped in the mud, opened a hole for him and he took off,â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mission was a very capable team, but they couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get a thing going on offence. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pretty sure their net yardage was zero.â&#x20AC;? The South Kamloops Titans will be a far tougher test for the GWG D. The No. 2 seed (behind Vernon) in

the Okanagan division includes Chilliwack native Trey Isaac. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He played for the Chilliwack Giants last year,â&#x20AC;? Smith noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s one of the leading rushers in BC high school football.â&#x20AC;? Smith didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know much about the Titans until he viewed some film Sunday night. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Getting Von back for that game, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re pretty confident our offence will be able to move the ball and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll play smash-mouth football with our O-line,â&#x20AC;? the coach said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But the Titans pass a lot. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re good through the air and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re quick and that styleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a bit of an Achillesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Heel for us.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The only team we lost to this year was New Westminster (in the preseason), and what they had on us was that speed advantage.â&#x20AC;? GWG will count on Cainen Bergh and company to slow down the Titans. Bergh was just named the Eastern Conference defensive player of the year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting for Cainen to be mentioned in the same breath as Chase Claypool (Abbotsfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Notre Dame bound star),â&#x20AC;? Smith said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those are your MVPs and they played together with the
Abby (minor) Falcons when they were young kids.â&#x20AC;? Bergh, Mastin and lineman Dakota Mathers earned all-star nods on the defensive side. Emerson Smith was named an offensive all-star along with fourfifths of the GWG line â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Michael Lengert, McCormick, Braydon Winger and Jake Troyan. The fifth lineman, Jaren Lengert, needed just one vote (2-3) to complete the Grizzly sweep. Jaren will miss this weekendâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s game after suffering a dislocated knee against Mission. It sounds like a horrific injury, but Lengertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had it before and bounced back quickly. The timetableâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two to four weeks, so heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be hoping his teammates keep winning. If the Grizzlies down South Kamloops theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have another home playoff game next Friday. Another win would get them into a semifinal at BC Place Stadium. A third win would get them where they imagined themselves going all along. A provincial final. See bchighschoolfootball.com for the latest scores and schedules.

ALLAN, Connie Constance Mary Allan (nee Jackman),
born May 31, 1922 in Grand Falls Newfoundland, died peacefully at home on Friday November 6, 2015. “Amma”, as she was known by her family, trained as a nurse at St. Clare’s Mercy Hospital (1944) in St. John’s, Nfld. Connie is predeceased by her husband, Joseph Smith Allan (1911-1992). They raised 4 children, Joseph (Carol), Robert, Arthur (Lynn) and Janet (Bruce Hutchinson). During Smith’s career, Connie lived in Halifax, Winnipeg and then Montreal for 35 years before moving to Chilliwack in 1999 to live with her daughter. She volunteered in many organizations including the Catholic Women’s League, Girl Guides, and more recently with the Chilliwack Senior Recreation Centre. Connie was a passionate bridge player and she played three times the week she passed away. Amma enjoyed spending time or talking on the phone with her many nieces and nephews and her grandchildren: Heather, Evan, Neala, Will, Kerry, Kate, Sara, Tracy, Joseph, Leslie & Beverly. Funeral Mass will be held at St. Mary’s Church, Chilliwack on Saturday, November 14 at 11 AM.
LEBLANC Suanne Elizabeth It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Suanne at the Chilliwack Hospital where she was surrounded by those who loved her.

Suanne was predeceased by her husband Joe, mother Eva, father Ross and brothers Terry and Brian. Suanne’s favorite pastime was camping. She was a seasonal member of the Vedder River Campsite for many years where she enjoyed close friendships, horseshoe tournaments and roaring campfires. Suanne was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 280. She selflessly devoted her time to the Ladies Auxiliary and always participated in the Poppy fund drive.
