Chilliwack readies for refugees Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack is scrambling to do its part to help Syrian refugees. It’s happening on several levels at once locally, as the federal Liberal government pledged to accept 25,000 prescreened refugees nationwide before the year is out. Chilliwack Community Services is in a “wait and see” situation until it’s clear how many might actually be coming to Chilliwack, said executive director James Challman. “There are a number of different groups in Chilliwack working on raising funds to become private sponsors,” said Challman. “We know this because they came to us to see what could be done.” Federal officials have, in turn, been notified of the local sponsorship efforts, he said. Community Services offers English language instruction to immigrants, as well as assistance with settlement and integration. But one key service not available at this point is “trauma counselling” but they grasp it is something that might be necessary given that it’s people fleeing war-torn countries, Challman said. Housing availability is expected to be tough in Chilliwack, with limited rental stock as it is. Hundreds of units will be required across B.C. and there is talk of employing emergency shelter beds. Support at this stage is coming from a couple of Chilliwack-based groups. One called “Chilliwack Refugee Support” was started by Wayne Froese on social media, to organize and discuss issues at the grass roots level. “This group is focused on discussing how we can support that, and how to encourage our new government to stay the course and keep the 25,000-refugee commitment,” said Froese. Part of this effort is the desire to counter some of the anti-refugee rhetoric that’s bubbled up. Continued: REFUGEE/ p13
A Chilliwack School District worker trims fallen limbs off a massive tree that crashed down onto the fence at Central elementary during Tuesday’s storm.
Wind storm prompts massive cleanup For photos from Tuesday’s storm, see page 15 Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Cleanup crews were hard at it in the wake of a powerful storm that hit Chilliwack with gale force winds and heavy rain. More than 20 road closures were reported Tuesday after 75 trees were downed at various spots all over town. Workers continued clearing debris all week following the worst storm in years. Chilliwack Fire Department fielded 100 fire calls in a 12-hour window – equivalent of three weeks’ worth of calls. Most were for downed power lines, but some were calls for help from people trapped in elevators. The city’s Emergency
Operations Centre was opened to coordinate communications. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said it gave city officials an excellent chance to get in some practice time in disaster response. “That type of practice is very valuable for us,” she said. Even something simple as the need for cell phone chargers stored at the EOC. City of Chilliwack public works crews were on duty until late into the night, clearing the fallen trees that were not entangled in BC Hydro high-voltage lines. One thing they heard from several sources was that Chilliwack drivers were having trouble knowing what to do at all the fourway traffic stops, in the absence of working street lights.
She praised hydro crews, and other responders on storm duty. “If your power is still out, just remember to keep the fridge doors closed,” she said. But while some praised the effort made by work crews, for others, patience was wearing thin. “Six families on Allan Rd. still blocked from getting in or out of town. Food and supplies running out. Need access please!” tweeted John Robichaud Thursday morning. Residents of Majuba Hill near Yarrow were equally frustrated, saying they still have not heard when their power will be restored after it was knocked out Tuesday morning. Councillor Chris Kloot, a chicken farmer, said operating a loud generator was the only option for them once the power went out
during the intense storm activity. “I am just grateful for all the crews working so hard. There was a lot of damage and there’s lots to clean up.” He was glad not to hear of any serious injuries at least. “Material things can be replaced.” BC Hydro crews restored power to thousands by Tuesday night, but more than 100 pockets of outages still persisted by Thursday morning, with 1,000 households affected. For residents reliant on well water, the power outage meant more than the loss of lights and heat. It meant the loss of water. Four schools were closed Wednesday because of a lack of power.

B.C. ‘ready’ for 3,500 Syria refugees, says Premier Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C. has been asked to take in 3,500 refugees from civil war and terrorist attacks in Syria and Iraq and is ready to do so, Premier Christy Clark says. “The federal government has asked us to welcome 3,500 refugees as part of this, and we’ve said yes, we think we can do
that,” Clark said Wednesday. “We’ve set a million dollars aside and the federal government has also said they’re going to restore the resettlement funding that was cut not that long ago. “We are going to fund their children when they go to school, of course, and support them in finding the counselling services, the housing and general settlement services that they need.”
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has stuck to his election commitment to bring 25,000 refugees into Canada by the end of December. But as logistical issues and security concerns have arisen, the deadline may be altered. In his mandate letter to Immigration Minister John McCallum, Trudeau said a top priority is to “lead government-
wide efforts to resettle 25,000 refugees from Syria in the coming months.” Clark said the number, timing and security screening of refugee claimants is up to Ottawa. ‘I accept their assurances that they can do a very rigorous screening process for everyone that we’re welcoming into the country in the time that they’ve
Filling festive shoeboxes for children Jennifer Feinberg The Progress They don’t call it the season of giving for nothing. Ruth and Naomi’s Mission guests and volunteers were filling Operation Christmas Child boxes this week to brighten the season for kids in the developing world. The mission raised about $500 from a coffee fund to help pay for 50 shoeboxes full of little presents that will be collected and distributed by Christian relief organization Samaritan’s Purse. Guests of Ruth and Naomi’s pay 25 cents for a coffee, and that helped build up the coffee fund. “It shows that people can give back at this time of year no matter what their circumstances are,” said longtime volunteer Kay Olson. The coffee funds paid for a range of cheery little gifts that were packed into the green and red shoe boxes for struggling boys and girls to open at Christmas. “Even the neediest people in Chilliwack at the mission still had 25 cents to offer. And look what we were able to do with it,” said Estera Mihai. Operation Christmas Child has brought joy — and a powerful message of hope —to more than 103 million children, according to Samaritan’s Purse.
Ruth and Naomi’s volunteer Wilma Barker labels a shoebox of presents destined for a struggling child overseas, as guest Rose Jodouin stacks boxes. The presents were bought with funds raised by guests at the downtown mission. JENNIFER FEINBERG/ PROGRESS
set out for it,” Clark said. “Our job in British Columbia is to welcome them, and to make sure that we as communities and a province do everything that we can to make sure that they get the best possible start, so those refugees can start contributing to our society and be a part of our society, because that’s what they want. And that’s what we need.”
Alleged Chilliwack kidnapper arrested by Surrey RCMP The man wanted for the alleged abduction of a Chilliwack woman at a residence in Yarrow 11 days ago was arrested in Surrey on Tuesday. Montgomery James Ash, 21, of Surrey, was wanted for break and enter with intent to commit offence, assault with a weapon, attempting to choke to overcome resistance, kidnapping, assault causing bodily harm, and uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm. The warrant stemmed from the investigation of a report made to police on Nov. 5 at approximately 4:15 a.m. of a break and enter and abduction at a residence in Yarrow. General Duty officers immediately arrived at the address and located a male who told police he had been assaulted by the suspect who had forced his way into the home and abducted a female from the house. Supported by RCMP investigators of the General Investigation Support Team, and the UFVRD Serious Crime Unit police initiated a multi-jurisdictional search for the missing woman. She was found approximately one hour later in Surrey. Both victims were examined for nonlife threatening injuries and released from hospital.
Children’s cancer event strikes a chord with local musicians Sam Bates The Progress It’s the story that breaks your heart. A child, far too young, falls seriously ill. Most of us will remember when it happened to twoyear-old Lilee-Jean Putt. But there are about 130 new cases of cancer diagnosed in children under age 17 each year in B.C. alone. We are all impacted by cancer and its devastating effects, but the magnitude of those effects is often what brings people together to make a difference. The fundraiser on Nov. 28 benefitting B.C. Children’s Hospital, hosted in partnership between the
Valley Huskers Football Club, local band Black Max and Friendly Mike’s Pub, is one way for Chilliwack to make an impact. Black Max lead guitarist Bob Marton was scrolling through Facebook when he saw a friend’s post about childhood cancer. Marton was instantly reminded of the painful memories from when his own son Nick was diagnosed with Leukemia. “It tore through our family without any regard,” he said. But after two years of chemotherapy and radiation treatments in Vancouver, the doctors confirmed that Nick’s cancer was in remission. “My son was lucky. He

fought a hard fight and won,” Marton explained. Not everyone is so lucky to beat the beast of a disease. In front of his computer that day in early October, Marton became motivated to make a tangible impact. He first called his bandmates, Preston Sawyer, Lorne Taylor and Dave Cosgrave, who were immediately on board to provide the entertainment. Lead vocalist Sawyer lost his mother and brother-inlaw to lung cancer a mere four months apart, and he still feels the impacts of their passing. “Not to minimize, but cancer doesn’t just affect the people who have it. It affects everybody around
them too,” he said. Marton then reached out to Wayne Oberst from Rock the $#@! Out of Cancer for advice, the Valley Huskers board for fundraising partnership, and Friendly Mike’s for the venue and menu. Many local businesses have volunteered to support the cause and donate to the silent auction, too. Valley Huskers social media coordinator Linda Drummond revealed some of the auction items, including dinner certificates, car detailing and apparel packages, unique furniture and artwork, gift cards for local services, and many more to come.

News DPAC to host two byelection forums Chilliwack voters will have at least two opportunities to quiz candidates seeking a seat on the Chilliwack school board. The District Parent Advisory Council will host two all-candidate meetings. The first will be on Nov. 26 at the Alumni Hall in the Neighbourhood Learning Centre at Chilliwack secondary, 45361 Yale Road. The second is on Nov. 30 at the GW Graham Theatre, 45955 Thomas Road. Both events get underway at 6:30 p.m. with an informal meet and greet, followed by a question and answer session from 7-9 p.m. The forums are open to the public, with questions being taken from the floor. Voters go to the polls Dec. 12 to
fill the trustee seat left vacant by the death of Martha Wiens. There are 12 candidates seeking election. The list was finalized on Monday. They include: Alisha Atkinson, Paula DeWit, John Edwards, Angelina Gosselin, Karen Jarvis, Brian Mielke, Marion Mussell, Bob Patterson, Megan Praat, Perry Sherstobetoff, Robert Stelmaschuk and Lisa Thébault. General election day is Dec. 12, with voting taking place between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. at the following locations: Chilliwack Secondary School, in the Neighbourhood Learning Centre, Alumni Hall (46361 Yale Road); Cultus Lake Community School gymnasium (71 Sunnyside Avenue); Rosedale Traditional
Community School gymnasium (50850 Yale Road); and Vedder Middle School gymnasium (45560 South Sumas Rd). Advanced voting opportunities will take place 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. at City Hall (550 Young Road) on Dec. 2, and on Dec. 9 during the same time at Cottonwood Mall (45585 Luckakuck Way, in the former front entrance to the Target Store off the south parking lot). Special voting opportunities will be conducted for the residents, their family members and the employees at Chilliwack General Hospital/ Bradley Centre (45600 Menholm Road) on Dec. 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and at Cascade Lodge (45586 McIntosh Drive) on Dec. 11 from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Airport infrastructure gets a boost There’s been “substantial” completion of an airport runway upgrading project at Chilliwack Airport. A culvert south of the runway was extended to include a ditch, meeting requirements for an “obstacle clear” strip width. “I’m happy to see these improvements made at the Chilliwack Airport as it continues to support the growth of our local
and provincial economies,” said Chilliwack MLA John Martin. The runway culvert work was thanks to a federal grant of $315,584 from the Ministry of Transpor tation and Infrastructure. As part of the same upgrading project, a corroded metal culvert was “rehabilitated.” While the airport’s lease transfers ongoing airport operations to
Magnum Management, the city remains responsible for large capital improvements, such as culvert extensions and upgrades. “Thanks to the Ministr y of Transpor tation and Infrastructure’s BC Air Access Program, we were able to extend a culvert and upgrade aging infrastructure at the Chilliwack Airport to ensure its continued

use and enjoyment,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. The project got underway in August and is now substantially completed, said a news release. The total cost is estimated at $420,779, with the city chipping in the balance for the runway project. The funds came from the new B.C. Air Access Program in August, supporting regional airports across the province.

POWER from Front Cultus Lake, and East Chilliwack elementary schools were all given the day off. School bus travel was also disrupted. Bus routes in Promontory and Ryder Lake were cancelled due to “multiple hazards and inaccessible roads,” the school district said. Central elementary saw large tree limbs crack off and come down along Young Road, so a school district crew was busy Wednesday morning, trimming and removing debris to make the area safe. Part of the metal roofing on a chicken barn was almost sheared off in the wicked gale force winds near Annis Road, while another homeowner reported that a tree broke right through the roof. At least one trampoline ended up in the Fraser River as the storm’s peak the winds were clocked at 80 km/hr. City of Chilliwack public works crews were on duty until 10 p.m. the night of the storm. Emergency Operations Centre was opened to coordinate communications and more. Crews had to work around the clock to maintain generators to keep the sewer lift operations moving at eight sites and two lift stations, according to city officials. The power was out for most of the day when the winds howled Tuesday, impacting more than 12,000 BC Hydro customers. Some will only see the lights back on by midnight Friday. The storm also brought more than 35 millimeters of rain. That moisture, coupled with rain that fell during the earlier storm on the weekend, spurred a dramatic rise in river levels. The stream flow rate for the Vedder River, for example, rose from 125 cubic meters per second early Tuesday to 600 cubic meters per second that night. jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Pause for thought on road crash remembrance
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
Wednesday, Nov. 18 was the National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims in Canada, set aside for Canadians to remember those who have lost their lives or been seriously injured on Canadian roads. Each year in this country, almost 1,900 people are killed on road crashes, and almost another 165,000 are injured. But we have to ask, is anyone listening? According to statistics, drug-impaired driving is now rivaling alcohol-impaired driving. Distracted driving continues to be a significant safety concern, with Canada’s youth most likely to text while driving. Additional high-risk factors – all preventable – include speeding and aggressive driving, driver fatigue and failure to wear a seat belt. Here in B.C., Justice Minister Suzanne Anton asked, “How many deaths are acceptable? The answer is none. Last year, we had 290 British Columbians lose their lives in crashes. So many of these are preventable by convincing people not to drink and drive, to put down their phone, or to stay within the speed limit.” The bottom line is that road crashes impact everyone. Too often we think we’re immune to the effects of speed, of driving too closely or answering just one text. However, it’s clear that issues of speed are of considerable concern for area residents, but from recent police reports, we know also that incidents of driving after drinking and after smoking marijuana are still finding their way to local streets. Any one of these incidents can have ended in tragedy. Want to learn more about the National Day of Remembrance for Road Crash Victims? Visit rememberroadcrashvictims.ca ~ Black Press

Paris attacks shine spotlight on campaign promises Last Friday’s horrific terrorist attack in Paris was a frightening realization of the sweep of ISIL fanatics and their ability to coordinate and carry out multiple attacks. With brutal savagery they chose soft targets – young people enjoying a meal, down time with friends, or a concert. By the end of the night, 129 lay dead, over 350 were injured, many critically, and President Francois Hollande declared that “France is at war’ with terrorism. Washington is already expecting France to retaliate with a stepped up role in the U.S.-led coalition’s bombing campaign against the Islamic State. The Paris tragedy threw a sharper spotlight on two of PM Justin Trudeau’s election campaign promises – to cancel our CF-18 participation in the bombing raids against ISIL and to bring 25,000 refugees to Canada
by the end of the year. Should he stick to the campaign script or heed what some are calling for – keep the CF-18 Hornets in the skies and slow down the refugee intake pending the time it could take for full security screening? Trudeau hasn’t called for a change of plans as yet. No telling yet when Margaret the fighter jets will EVANS return home. But right now those six jets are punching above their weight. On Tuesday, under Operation IMPACT, two fighter jets successfully struck three Islamic State fighting positions near Ramadi, Iraq, with precision-guided munitions, the Department of National Defence said.
As of November 16, CF-18’s have conducted 1,121 sorties. This week’s airstrikes were the second round involving Canadian jets since last Friday’s attacks in Paris. Despite the fact the aging jets are small in number, their contribution going forward is significant and should continue. In addition, Canada has contributed two Aurora surveillance planes and about 600 Canadian Armed Forces personnel to the coalition. According to the DND website, Op IMPACT has helped our allies see ISIL lose its ability to operate freely in 25 to 30 per cent of populated areas of Iraq that it previously controlled. Trudeau has also, rightly, committed to increasing the number of Special Forces troops training Kurds to fight ISIL in northern Iraq. In training the Kurdish forces, our troops have a mandate to advance to front lines and into

battle. The humanitarian commitment includes bringing 25,000 refugees to Canada within the next six weeks. That’s a tall order and anyone would understand the government moving its selfimposed deadline into 2016. On Monday, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall asked Trudeau to suspend his plan, arguing that if a small number of individuals who want to do harm slip in under cover of a rushed refugee resettlement process, it could be disastrous. But terrorists posing as refugees are a long shot, given intense screening and time delays. The track record of refugee threats in North America is thin. The Economist last month reported that out of 745,000 refugees who resettled in the U.S. since 9/11, only two Iraqis have been arrested on terrorism charges.
The incoming refugees have been in refugee camps in Turkey, Lebanon and Jordan for several years and have already been vetted by the UN High Commission for Refugees. Some will continue to be screened on military bases once they get here. The majority are families with children. While they go through the various Canadian clearance levels many questions of mass resettlement must be addressed – housing, schooling, English language and job training, medical needs, transportation, and a mountain of paperwork. A dreadful geopolitical tragedy has put Trudeau’s government in the crosshairs just 10 days after taking office. If the government fails, it’s on them. If the government fails to act, it’s on them. With that goes leadership. That campaign promise under sunny skies had better work.

Science more often right than wrong I am writing in response to the letter ‘Don’t put your faith in science’ by G. Vande Bunte, published in the Chilliwack Progress November 18. In the opening paragraph Vande Bunte wrote: “We can anticipate a deluge of information and propaganda to prepare us for the ultimate purpose of the conference, i.e. transfer of wealth from the West.” The letter could have stopped there. Reiterating science-denier arguments yet again does not add to any discussion. However, Vande Bunte chose to continue with examples so let’s look at those. True, Isaac Asimov speculated
ten years before the moon landing that the layer of dust on the moon might be very thick. That’s why we have science. To investigate and build on existing bodies of knowledge. When the lander arrived on the moon in 1969 it was not to see if it would sink. People walked on the moon because the science was right. Similar for Vande Bunte’s other examples: we are producing more food than ever; we have ever more powerful computers; we are able to deal with disease outbreaks; because of all the science that is right. Climate models factor in--with growing accuracy--deforestation,
solar activity, volcanic activity, large forest fires, atmospheric water vapor, encroachment by urban settlement on measuring stations, etc, because of all the science that is right. There are times science is wrong, of course. More science finds the errors and we carry on. In time there comes a point when the science is unequivocal. With regard to anthropogenic climate change we have passed that point. Get over fearing that someone somewhere is conspiring to take your money. Pay attention to the science. Failure to do so will cost us, dearly.

Bombing won’t win war against terrorists As a veteran, I totally agree with our Prime Minister Trudeau’s decision to withdraw our fighter jets and stop the bombing. We were a nation of peacekeepers and not warmongers. Bombing will not make us any safer, but will only achieve in killing more innocent people, making more enemies and in turn make Canada a bigger terrorist target. Checkout Osama Bin Laden’s letter to America, (just google it). The correct decision is to stop wasting millions on bombing, it will never achieve the destruction of ISIL, leave that to the US who created and
armed ISIL. There are many other options for Canadians to consider. The US regime change policy and firing the Iraqi Army and putting in place a puppet government, is what caused ISIL in the first place. You can’t conquer a country and then fire the Army and then wonder why there is no security. Imagine thousands of soldiers with no job and who have knowledge of the location of all the weapons, and are not able to take part in the Government, how stupid was that? A lot of those fired soldiers are now part of ISIL. I was relieved that Jean Chrétien did not believe
George Bush about weapons of mass destruction and refuse to be part of that war, best decision ever made by a Canadian Prime Minister. Bombing without soldiers on the ground is a cowardly way to fight and will never achieve any objective or win any war. The US bombing in Syria is illegal and contrary to International law. The Russians are doing it the right way, they were invited and are backing the Syrian army, who have real knowledge of where ISIL are located and can direct ISIL targets from the ground. In my world travel, while in the military, I
made many friends around the world and in the last 10 years they keep asking me what happen to Canada? We used to be respected and now we can even get a seat on the UN Security Council, because of all the bad foreign policies and taking sides with Israel. Thanks to Trudeau and the Liberals, Canada will be back as a good, respected country again. I’m feeling proud to be a Canadian again. Most of the negative comments in your paper are probably sour grapes from losing Conservatives; give the new government a chance to pass legislation. Louis Raboin
Canada Post’s books look good In response to the November 6 letter of Mark Strahl in which he has a very selective eye for Canada Post’s finances: Instead of using its actual performance, he uses the old, inaccurate projections of the Conference Board of Canada , which have been wrong by hundreds of millions each year since the report came out. The Conference Board projected losses, but the Crown Corporation, whose real financial results are available on its website, has made profits in 17 of the last
19 years, 2011, and 2013 being the only years showing a loss. Total cumulative profits over that period of time [net] $2.18 billion. Total dividends paid to government $589 million. Total income tax paid $537 million. Strahl implies that taxpayers are footing the bill, but in fact Canada Post is self-funding and actually makes money for the public purse. Just last year, it made $198 million and paid 71 million in income tax. Strahl also relies on the wrong figure to mischaracterize the pen-
sion plan’s position. Canada Post’s pension is actually in a surplus, on a going concern basis. It had a $481 million surplus as of 2014. The deficit that he refers to is a solvency deficit,which would only have to be dealt with if they went out of business and wound up the pension plan. The picture that Mr. Strahl puts forward is simply not materializing. It’s time for a more constructive and public discussion on how to preserve our self-sustaining public postal service.

The Meals on Wheels program helps people to stay in the comfort and familiarity of their own home and avoid the stress of preparing meals. Meals on Wheels offer fresh and nutritious meals to seniors and those recovering from illness, injury, or living with disabilities. Each meal consists of an entrée, choice of soup or salad and a small dessert. Meals on Wheels alleviate some of the stress involved with taking care of elderly parents. One client heard about Meals on Wheels and decided to sign up his mother, with some resistance at first. “When I told my mom that each day someone would be coming to the house to bring her lunch, she wasn’t very happy. However, as the days went by, “the meals” - as she calls it, became one of the highlights of her day. She now looks forward to seeing the friendly and caring volunteers and I feel better because someone is checking in on her regularly.” Monthly menus are provided with two delicious options to choose from. The cost per meal is $7.25 and deliveries are made Monday to Friday between 11:00 – 1:00. There is no delivery on weekends and statutory holidays but frozen meals are available for added convenience. Volunteer drivers use their own vehicles to deliver the meals right to the door of each client. We are currently looking for more volunteer drivers! Delivery routes include Chilliwack and Sardis. If you are interested in arranging meal delivery or becoming a volunteer, contact Shirley at 604.793.7242 or triemstras@comserv.bc.ca.

Proceeds from ticket sales and donations will go to toward childhood oncology research at B.C. Children’s Hospital. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to two local families with children undergoing cancer treatments. The Nov. 28 fundraiser aligns with the recent changes at Friendly Mike’s, where manager Nicole McRae has decided to bring live entertainment into the pub every week. Black Max, named after Marton’s black lab, has been performing in various iterations for seven years, having recently participated in Friendly Mike’s Sunday jam night. “The response has been phenomenal so far,” said Sawyer, who joined the band in June. “We know we’ve got something good going, and we have a great time [on stage].” Tickets for the event are $20 and include a dinner of steak or chicken alfredo, access to the silent auction, and a night to rock out to a great, local band for a worthy cause. “Let’s fill the place and have a good time, and let’s feel lucky that we can,” Marton enthused. Tickets are available through the Valley Huskers, at Friendly Mike’s or can be ordered online through the Black Max Facebook page. The event begins at 6 p.m.

“This is tragic, as it only adds to the suffering of the people least responsible: the refugees,� noted Froese. “Civil war in Syria has been raging for four years, pre-dating ISIS’ involvement by two years, resulting in four million refugees finding their way to Europe. “They desperately need our help.� Some provincial funding is being made available for education, counselling, and housing, aside from the federal pledges. A million dollars was set aside by the B.C. government, and the federal government promised to restore resettlement funding that was cut. B.C. Premier Christy Clark announced it will be ready for 3,500 people from Syria and Iraq. One of the new groups is called Refugees and Chilliwack, or “REaCH� a group working to unite sponsorship support from Chilliwack to help a Syrian family. “Chilliwack citizens! Let’s share our good fortune and work together to bring a Syrian family into our community,� according to their Facebook page. “We need numbers behind us as we work towards fundraising goals and needed items for the first refugee family that Chilliwack is able to sponsor.� The online community will be used to communicate by reaching out “to a family that will soon be here with us, away from the insanity and desperation of the life they are living now. “Open your hearts, and get ready to be a part of the light in this dark time in history. “Together we can, and will create real change.� The REaCH community said it will be “mobilizing� soon. Another level of Chilliwack support is coming from the faith sector, with the group being called “Chilliwack Cares�. It is being spearheaded by Verne Tompke, pastor of Vineyard Community Church, and will also be rolling out some local efforts shortly.

have funded upgrades and renovations to the little schoolhouse on what is now Teskey Way since it was built in 1910. It was a one-room schoolhouse for many years, then a Women’s Institute Community Hall. But since the early 70s, it’s been Hobby Hill. Today, the “parent participation preschool” provides a fun variety of play materials and experiential learning opportunities for three and four year olds. The philosophy of the Council of Parent Par ticipation Preschools in B.C. has always been to actively involve parents in the first stages of their child’s education, which fosters later success in elementary school. Hobby Hill parent and event organizer Shannon Jones has enrolled three of her children in the preschool over the years. Jones and fellow parents have scheduled “duty days” once or twice per month. They will lend a hand in the daily operation of the preschool as a teachers aide or with various administrative or maintenance tasks. Hobby Hill’s annual fundraisers “cover the majority of the costs to keep the preschool going,” said Jones. Generous donations from the community fund everything from classroom supplies, to building upkeep, and even the teacher’s sala-
ries. For the special occasion, the fundraiser committee has gone with a classic black and white theme to highlight the rich history of the schoolhouse. The venue will be decked out with framed Progress articles highlighting the milestones and functions that have funded the school over the years. Vintage signage and original windows will decorate the room. “We want to make sure that ever yone understands how important the ongoing investment in the building is to the school staying open,” Jones explained. Local musicians will perform classics from Bing Crosby and Frank Sinatra and old movies will play over the projector. Organizers have also collected an exciting array of donated items from local businesses to offer in the silent auction. To top it off, there will be an “amazing Christmas dinner” on the menu, complete with an assortment of delectable desser ts, Jones revealed. The fundraiser takes place Nov. 28 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Ryder Lake Hall (49265 Elk View Rd). Tickets are $25 and provide you with dinner, a drink, and the opportunity to bid in the auction. Contact Hobby Hill Preschool on Facebook or at 604858-5579 for tickets and more information.

Readers offer window on a windstorm
Melissa Lazar: “The wind picked up our gazebo off the deck, taking out the end deck rail and breaking the tables etc. The kid’s bunny hutch went over the bank (thank goodness I had brought the bunny in the house beforehand). A big cedar tree went down (one of six) and took the kids’ playhouse with it.”
Tuesday’s windstorm was a force to be reckoned with. Here are a few images captured by Progress readers from that tumultuous day: Clockwise from the upper left: Ben Hall’s home was damaged by a tree during the storm; Chris Kloot took this shot of a Chilliwack chicken barn after its metal roof was peeled off; Al Ens had a close call as a trees went down next to his house; Doug Morley offered this image of a snapped power pole on Quarry Road (power is still out in some places); Mariah Weber captured this dramatic photo after a tree crashed through the roof of her Riverwood Crescent home.

Community Dr. Carin Bondar to speak on The Nature of Sex on Nov. 26 at UFV What can we learn from the sexual habits of the animal kingdom? Chilliwack’s own “biologist with a twist” will be sharing her insights on this topic at UFV on Thursday, Nov 26. Dr. Carin Bondar will speak on The Nature of Sex at noon in the Abbotsford campus lecture theatre (B101) as part of the Dean of Science’s Seminar Series. Admission is free and the public is invited. Bondar, who has a PhD in biology from UBC, has built an international science communications career from her home base of Chilliwack. She’s known for making complicated scientific information understandable for the general public. Bondar is the writer and host of the web series Wild Sex, which has garnered over 50 million views. Her TED talk on the same topic has reached an audience of over two million. The Nature of Sex, her book based on the series, is currently available in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand, and will be available in the USA and Canada in 2016. “Sex is much more important than most people give it credit for,” says Bondar. “It’s about the only thing other than staying alive that all species of living creatures do. It’s all about the process of meeting the mate, reproducing with the mate, and dealing with the offspring.” She notes that we can learn much from the mating habits of the animal kingdom, even they don’t parallel our own practices. “In my lectures I examine questions such as: is monogamy a practical plan for any animal? When does it make sense to harm your partner? Who are the worst mothers in the animal kingdom? And what biological value does grandma have provide once she’s done having and raising her own children?” Bondar is an adjunct professor with the Faculty of Science at UFV.

Forum looks at proportional representation sentation is used in many countries around the world, including some of the most prosperous, such as Germany, Scotland, Sweden and New Zealand. “Unfortunately, proportional representation has been subject to various myths including that it leads to unstable governments and prevents local representation. Fair Vote Canada and Hodgson look forward to showing that these objections are false and that the time has come for proportional representation,” Cheney said. The benefits of proportional representation include more accountable government, more representative government policy, greater representation of women and ethnic minorities, and balanced regional representation, Cheney said. “Fair Vote Canada believes that electoral reform is a civil rights issue as every vote should count equally.” Cheney continued, “The failure of the voting system is also apparent here in ChilliwackHope. Locally, over 57
per cent of the votes did not count towards electing somebody. Furthermore, on a

Dr. Antony Hodgson, President of Fair Vote BC, will be giving a presentation on electoral reform at Decades Coffee House in Chilliwack on November 27 at 7:30 p.m. The event is part of a nationwide series of events Fair Vote Canada’s is holding to ensure that the 2015 federal election was last held under first past the post. Electoral reform is particularly relevant given the current government’s electoral reform promises, organizers say. “Fair Vote Canada believes that 39.5 per cent of the popular vote does not justify the near-monopoly of political power that majority government provides,” said Thomas Cheney one of the event’s organizers, “To fix this, Fair Vote Canada advocates a shift to a proportional electoral system. Under proportional representation the make-up of the House of Commons would closely reflect the popular vote.” Proportional repre-

Kim McLandress: Talking As a young girl growing up in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Kim McLandress could often be found at the hockey rink. It was a family thing. She was there to cheer on her older brothers, both of whom played hockey while her father was a hockey coach. Although Kim didn’t play hockey, she was
equally as active and athletic as her brothers. “I was heavily involved in gymnastics and dance but volleyball was my main focus. My team even went as far as the provincials and the nationals,” she said. Her family was always active. Her father was a salesman with the oil industry while her mother was a book-

keeper and the family members always supported one another. When Kim was 16, she became the victim of a property crime and this act led her to help other victims of crime. “The thieves broke into our house and they only took my stuff. This was very odd and the police thought that the crime must have been
committed by people that I knew. They were caught and I knew of them but they attended a different high school Ana so it wasn’t MACEDO like I knew them personally. When they went through the court process I was re-victimized. I had many questions but I didn’t have a voice,” she explained. Kim was disillusioned and disappointed by the system because there was no accountability. “They left the court room as if it was a huge joke. It wasn’t that I necessarily wanted them to go to jail but I wanted them to be held accountable,” she reflected. Three years later, she began attending Mt. Royal College in Calgary and as a criminology student; she was introduced to the concept of ‘restorative justice.’ Her professor, who had previously taught at UCFV, told her that Chilliwack offered such a program. She finished up the year at Mt. Royal then moved to Abbotsford in the Fall of 1999 to continue her degree. She began working for the Chilliwack Restorative Justice Society in 2000 and eventually took over as Executive Director. The restorative justice model often includes a face-toface meeting with the victim which can have a powerful personal impact on the offender. “There is always the hope that this helps them to make better life choices.” Although Kim enjoyed making a difference in people’s lives through restorative justice, she recognized that it was time to expand her horizons. So, she did a complete 360 degree change and opened up a ladies clothing store. Bella Boutique originally opened its doors in Kelowna and was well established in that community. Kim approached owner Sarah Williams, who Continued: FASHION/ p21

about fashion and more had been a family friend since Kim moved to the Valley, about opening up a franchised store and her dream became a reality in the Fall of 2012 when she opened up Bella Boutique in the Village at Sardis Park. “Fashion was something that had always interested me and I had worked in retail from the time that I was 16 until I was 20. Sarah had a store in Kelowna but she was from Chilliwack and had always looked to perhaps open up a store here so it was a good fit,” she enthused. From the start, the community embraced the
Bella concept and the fashions. “We bring in unique pieces and you’ll find one of each size ranging from XS to 2XL so no matter what your age or your shape, there’s something for everyone. We’ve had clients from 8 to 102 years of age. We also sell many Canadian fashions which is another thing that I really like,” she explained. Then, in the Fall of 2014, Kim and partner Mike decided to open up MKKM Men’s Wear, located right next door to Bella. “Again, we bring in unique as well as classic pieces that are meant for all different age ranges and we’ve received

some great feedback,” she said. Aside from being busy with her stores, Kim continues to be active in the community and with sports. She enjoys playing soccer and curling. “My dad curled but it wasn’t something that I ever did. Then when I moved here, I didn’t know anyone and after going through the newspaper and finding an ad for curling, I decided to give it a try. I found that I have a passion for the sport,” she smiled. Not a day goes by that Kim doesn’t acknowledge how fortunate she is. “I love going to work. I’m busy and active but I love that about my life.”

Winter containers brighten dark days with a festive feel I love the idea of continuing colour into the winter months using outside porch pots. What makes a great outdoor winter pot? It is a beautifully assembled collection
of hardy evergreen and deciduous plants that really pop in winter – or it could be an arrangement of unique cut branches artistically displayed in an attractive container.
In addition to looking amazing, it needs to withstand the abuse of winter weather (with some protection in the worst conditions) and still look great. This whole idea of
winter pots started about 10 years ago in independent garden stores and has blossomed into a mainstream winter culture. Box stores now carry them big time and for
the most part, they look reasonably good, but I consider creating winter containers an art form and like all great containers, no matter the time of the year, they should be so
much more than just okay. I would like to see them personalized and brought to a much higher level. Porch pots may be the only ‘garden’ you have in winter, so let’s make

them spectacular. I think zone 5 would be the target for cold hardiness, which should include about 80% of the Canadian population. As with most things in life, you need to have a strategy for success. Winter Brian presents a MINTER very different environment than the one enjoyed during the warm days of spring and summer, so a few key issues need to be addressed. First is the container. You need a sturdy, suitable sized (45-60cm / 18-24”) container to withstand winter winds and driving rain or snow. The soil needs to be very open and porous, and even if you use a high porosity mix, like Sunshine #4 or ProMix HP, it’s important to add about one-third fine fir or hemlock bark mulch or sawdust to get the level of porosity you need. In winter, roots survive far better in very well-drained mixes. Excess moisture can damage roots as it freezes. Just the opposite is true when using cut branches. To keep the stems fresh and in place, you need heavy wet soil, and surprisingly, most potting soils, if saturated with moisture, are great. The weight of wet soil will also keep the pot steady in blustery weather. When creating a container of cut greens, you need a mix of greens that will withstand winter cold and not desiccate in windy conditions. Pine is, by far, the best. Both the soft white pine (Pinus strobus) and scotch pine (Pinus sylvestris), blue spruce (Picea glauca) and noble and silver fir (Abies nobilis), when cut in late October and November, should last until the weather warms up in spring. Soft-textured cedar (Thuja plicata) and weeping hemlock (Tsuga canadensis) are nice looking, but they are more susceptible to drying out. The colour, shape, texture and fragrance of these cut boughs are delightful. Misting them with Continued: WINTER/ p23

WINTER from page 22 water occasionally or leaving them out in winter rains will help keep their moisture content at an optimum level. Once you arrange the greens into the style you love, the next step should be layering in colourful stems of shrub dogwoods. I particularly love the vibrant red stems of Cornus ‘Sibirica’ , the yellows of C. ‘Flaviramea’ and the yellow and orange stems of C. ‘Midwinter Fire’. Arranged among the greens, they jump out. The pure white stems of birch, especially ones with nicely textured bark, are fabulous as well. Not to be outdone, the curly willows (Salix ‘Tortuosa’) especially the golden and red stemmed varieties, add a whole new dimension of twists and curls that play with your eyes. This is where artistry brings your arrangements to life – a few focal points work wonders. Large colourful cones, like the long gently curved cones of white pine (Pinus strobus), naturally frosted with hardened sap, are among the best. The long thin cones of norway spruce (Picea abies) are nice to work with too. There are many pine cones that look attractive, like P. ponderosa or its larger cousin P. arizonica, and if you simply touch the tips of each cone with some white latex paint, it creates that fantastic ‘fresh snow’ look. Layering in some colourful berries adds another level of richness to your arrangements. Perhaps the very best are the berries of Ilex verticillata or those of deciduous holly. These also make wonderful zone 4 garden plants. Their vibrant red and now gold berries will make your arrangements rock! Adding value to living evergreen planters is the same as for fresh green arrangements. You don’t absolutely need one, but a bow of sinamay looks rather charming spilling over and their tails trailing in among the greens, again playing nicely with your eyes. Adding clear mini-lights or LED lights will make all your porch pots, both cut greens and living planters, really sparkle. I get excited about these amazing creations that we can enjoy for the Christmas season and right through winter. After Christmas, take out the obvious holiday décor and add pussy willow stems and bird feeders. Have some fun!

Baseball academy back at Sardis Eric J. Welsh, The Progress After a three year hiatus, a baseball academy returns to Sardis secondary school next fall. Derek Florko, who’s spent the last seven years coaching the Abbotsford Cardinals high school club team, will be guide the resurrected program “This opportunity is awesome and I’m super excited,” he said. “I’ve never ran my own program before, so it’s exciting to put my own stamp on things.” Florko believes he brings a different approach, fueled by daily study of the latest training techniques. He is, for instance, a big believer in the weighted-ball program that has gained traction within some Major League Baseball front offices. He believes players need to develop ability before skill. “My focus is on improving the body, getting stronger and more athletic,” he explained. “Pitching is a skill. Throwing hard is an ability and I think you have to learn to do that first.” That means Sardis students will spend much of
their time in the school’s well-equipped weight room following carefully crafted programs. From September through Christmas, Florko’s focus will be on physical conditioning. After the calendar flips, he’ll start diving into other things. “Come January, that’s when you start working on the curveballs and things like that,” he elaborated. “There’s no point working on taking ground-balls in October when you don’t play a game until April.” “The professionals, they don’t come home for the offseason and start pitching right away.” “They build their body up and work on mobility and strength, and come February, that’s when they start throwing a little bullpen.” As a player, Florko was a light-hitting 145 pound infielder. “I wasn’t very good and I always had more of a passion for learning the game than playing it,” he said. “I enjoy coaching way more than I enjoyed playing.” “Baseball is the only thing I ever cared about learning about. Every day that’s all I do is try to study baseball.”
Florko’s coaching career has focused on hitting mechanics, which is why he’s bringing in another coach to help pitchers. Chilliwack native Shane Kraemer coached alongside Florko with the Cardinals, and is lending his expertise to Sardis. “He’s a very smart person who was admitted into law schools across the United States,” Florko said. “He’s one of the smartest people I’ve ever met and he’s a smart baseball guy.” Kraemer pitched collegiately for the NCAA South Dakota State Jackrabbits and recently won a provincial championship playing for the BC Senior Baseball Association’s Langley Blaze. The last two seasons he’s been named the league’s player of the year. Florko and Kraemer are two big reasons Allison Fitzsimmons believes the Sardis academy will flourish. It faded last time as recruiting fell off, but the Sardis phys-ed teacher and baseball academy coordinator believes Chilliwack’s baseball scene is stronger than it’s ever been. “The main reason to
pursue the academy is to provide another opportunity for kids,” she said. “The more choices they have, the more chances we have of encouraging them to succeed, and that’s what we’re here for!” “For some kids, academics is the motivator. For other it’s the performing arts or Strongman or the hockey academy that keeps them excited and helps keep them in school.” Fitzsimmons is aiming to have 25 students enrolled in year one and estimates the cost at $2,000 per. That’s in line with other academies. Right now our biggest concern is numbers and getting commitments, and we are getting interest,” she said. “We’re getting the word out now and we’ll have a parent meeting in January.” Anyone wanting info on that meeting of other details can email Fitzsimmons at allisonfitz_2003@hotmail.com or Richard Tagle at Richard_ Tagle@sd33.bc.ca. Both can be reached at the school at 604-8589424. Also see sardissecondary.ca
So the other night I’m looking over the final scores of the last nine Chilliwack Chiefs games, all of which were wins. Without looking at the box scores I couldn’t remember a moment in any of the nine games that the Chiefs had trailed. It turns out they had. In the first game of their current win streak Wenatchee opened the scoring. The Chiefs tied it early in the second period and added three more to win 4-1. They haven’t trailed since. Adding up the minutes and seconds, the Chiefs have either been tied or had the lead for the last 517:02 that they’ve played. I stared at the number for a while trying to decide how impressive it was. It certainly sounded good but I have never looked at streaks like this before so I wasn’t sure. The Penticton Vees have won 22 straight games. I looked over those games and they got over 400 minutes twice but not near the Chiefs current number. During the 2011-12 season the Vees set a BCHL record with 42 straight wins. They had two lengthy streaks (535:09/520:11) during which they didn’t trail during that historic run, both of which were better than the Chiefs current streak. Both those streaks were ended by the Chiefs, who then went on to drop both those games by scores of 6-2 and 5-1. The only other streak that came to mind was the Vernon Vipers 21 game streak during the 2009-10 season. They
Jacob Bestebroer also put up a similar number, one that bettered the Chiefs current mark, going 520:18 without trailing. Based on these findings, I think we can say that the Chiefs current streak is very impressive. But I wasn’t even sure it was a team record. The only time the Chiefs could have put up a longer streak was during their team record 12 game winning streak during the 1995-96 season but it was not going to be easy to find those pre-internet numbers. So did I waste most of my day Wednesday trying to figure it out? Of course I did. Based on the scores of those games I thought there was a chance they had topped it back then. That team took a 250 minute streak into a 12-3 win over Langley. Surprisingly it didn’t last long as Langley scored the first three goals of that game. So yes, the Chiefs current streak is a team record. The league record may never be known as some of those old box scores are impossible to find. The Chiefs put their streaks on the line tonight (Friday) when they host the Powell River Kings. Saturday Wenatchee visits Prospera Centre. Purchase two tickets for Friday’s game and you get a free ticket for the game on Saturday. Be sure to check out the Chiefs store this weekend – all merchandise will be 20 per cent off and the two retro jerseys the Chiefs wore last season will be priced at $39.95. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net
Goalie Gillam backstops Big Red His team is currently unranked, but ex-Chilliwack Chief Mitch Gillam is doing his best to get Cornell into the national conversation. The junior goalie for the Big Red has gone 5-1 in six starts this year with a 2.14 goals-against average and .915 save percentage. His crew sits fourth in the East Coast Athletic Conference (ECAC) standings. There are several Chiefs on NCAA Top-10 teams. Vincent Desharnais patrols the blueline for the No. 1 Providence Friars while Scott Davidson collects points for the No. 4 Quinnipiac Bobcats.

The GW Graham Grizzlies have grown accustomed to playing at BC Place Stadium this time of year with a provincial title on the line. It is a special situation that is being diluted by this year’s playoff format. The Grizzlies are there this weekend for a quarter-final against Holy Cross (Surrey) and could potentially play under the dome three times before this
season is done. The novelty of walking in on Championship Saturday — staring at the massive scoreboard, massive roof and 55,000+ seats — that’s diminished. “It’s a little frustrating because we worked hard this season to host home games and we love playing at Exhibition,” said GWG coach Laurie Smith. “But, we knew the semifinals were going to be
at BC Place, which we thought was a good thing.” “We played the semi at UBC last year and the conditions were terrible with ice and snow, and the games weren’t well played.” From a football point of view, Smith looks forward to climate controlled comfort and no interference from Mother Nature. “We know one thing right? We can throw the
ball,” Smith noted. “I’ll take our chances with Gabe Olivares throwing.” “I feel like we’re going to be in a heckuva battle, but if we execute the way we can we’ve got the guys to win this game.” Other playoff matchups this weekend include Abby Collegiate vs John Barsby, Carson Graham vs Prince George and Langley vs Vernon.
