The new #ShareChilliwack video created for Tourism Chilliwack features beautiful and inspiring vistas of the region to attract visitors from Greater Vancouver and Washington State. INMIST MEDIA HOUSE PHOTO
Stunning video of Chilliwack goes viral Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s not really surprising that Tourism Chilliwack’s new #ShareChilliwack video went viral. It offers stunning aerial views of Chilliwack, as well as heart-pumping scenes of white water rafting, hiking, mountain biking, and more. The video has managed to take on a life of its own, earning thousands of views after the official launch at this week’s Christmas breakfast, said Vanessa Oddy, Destination Marketing Manager with Tourism Chilliwack.
“We’ve had a phenomenal response, which is excellent for the community,” she said. “It’s changing the perception of Chilliwack.” The video artfully produced by Inmist Media House for Tourism Chilliwack will be used to target the tourist market from greater Vancouver and Washington State. The breakfast crowd of more than 200 were blown away. And that’s exactly what it might take to change the perception that Chilliwack is somewhere that people “drive” through to get somewhere else, she said. Within a few days, the video
netted more than 26,000 views, 800 shares with a reach of 95,000. “We are monitoring the video success hourly and we are thrilled to see the community pride and local engagement,” said Oddy. They titled the video, ‘Push Past The Noise, See What Nature is Hiding,’ to entice people to check it out. “It puts you in the moment of finding Chilliwack. Once people do, they’ll want to stay and visit,” Oddy said. More than a year ago, Tourism Chilliwack launched the #ShareChilliwack campaign to get folks to “share”
what they love about Chilliwack with friends, families and followers on social media. “We want to share Chilliwack with the world and make it easy for businesses to share our community with their clients. “From a tourism perspective, it’s all about emotionally engaging our potential visitors and to give them a sense of urgency to travel now,” said Allison Colthorp, Tourism Chilliwack’s Executive Director.

A Syrian refugee family could be arriving in Chilliwack in time for Christmas. Rev. Karen Medland of Carman United Church said six local churches have joined forces to make it happen under the aegis of the Eastern Fraser Valley Refugee Committee. “We’re poised to do this. Things are happening really fast right now,” she told The Progress. The committee unites reps from Carman United, Chilliwack United, Agassiz United, Rosedale United, Mt. Shannon United, and Christ Lutheran. They have pledged to “walk with a Syrian family” for an entire year — and could be connected with one in as little as 48 hours. “Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a family arriving in Chilliwack at Christmas?” she enthused. Rev. Medland, who is relatively new to Chilliwack, has ample experience from her work at First United Church in Kelowna, where they successfully welcomed the latest Syrian family this summer, sponsoring seven families in total. “I am an immigrant myself so I know what it is to come to a new country with resources. It was hard for my family to settle in Canada as immigrants. “But it’s way harder as refugees.” The Syrians would be from the initial group of rigorously screened 10,000 refugees that Canada has pledged to take, with a total of 25,000 by the end of 2016. So why did they decide to join forces as a committee? “You get a stronger sense of community doing it that way,” she said. But they’ll also have access to more resources. They have about $10,400 coming with $5,000 from Rosedale United, and another $5,000 from the Toronto Conference. The urgent task is finding an appropriate rental home.

JIBC students collaborated with seasoned first responders to simulate emergency response procedures at Canada Education Park in Chilliwack Thursday morning. From top left, paramedics transport a patient into the Mobile Medical Unit and discuss treatment options. At right, acting patients, victims, and perpetrators were recovered from a mock fire scene and a shooting at a makeshift border crossing. The simulation provided students the opportunity to practise the entire continuum of care under real-world conditions. SAM BATES/ PROGRESS
Simulation tests emergency readiness Sam Bates The Progress Smoke, screams and blaring signals filled the air, but there was no safer place in Chilliwack on Thursday morning than the Justice Institute campus. First responders from the RCMP, fire department, ambulance, search and rescue, border services, as well as nurses, doctors, and plenty of students training in those areas came together to take part in emergency simulation exercises. The Justice Institute of B.C. (JIBC) School of Public Safety will often challenge their students in these types of immersive training simulations. But Jesse Sheridan, Paramedic Instructor at JIBC, said that this simulation was their biggest thus far. “Sims,” as Sheridan called

them, are at the heart of JIBC’s public safety education and training. The hands-on learning allows students not only to practice what they’ve learned, but also to gain insight from seasoned professionals. Ambulances and fire trucks laid quietly in wait until 10 a.m., when a residence building went up in smoke and shots were fired at a makeshift border crossing. According to Sheridan, the goal of the simulation was to address the entire continuum of care. Services are called to the scenes, they assess the situation, arrest any perpetrators, and triage, transport and treat the patients. At every step of the way, students are learning. It’s also the most effective way to challenge and practice the essential process of inter-agency collaboration and teamwork. “It’s critical for the students

to learn how the agencies work together to reach a unified goal, which is public safety,” Sheridan explained. And the crisis situations are portrayed to mirror reality as closely as possible. Smoke poured out of the building, police pointed guns at acting criminals, victims - doused in fake blood or ash - were screaming, coughing, and crying out for help. Real-world conditions allow students to practice emergency response strategies under the stress and emotions that they would experience in the field. Once recovered from the scene, patients were brought to the Provincial Health Services Authority’s Mobile Medical Unit (MMU), which was brought in for the simulation. The MMU is housed in a 16-metre tractor-trailer that expands to a 90-square-metre flex-
ible facility with up to eight patient treatment bays. The unit is capable of clinical treatment that ranges from an outpatient clinic all the way to emergency surgical care. It can be connected to hospital power or city systems, or run on its own power, oxygen, water and waste systems. It’s stocked with up to 72 hours worth of medical supplies, too. Students were able to test their medical knowledge as they treated patients with carbon monoxide poisoning, burns, gunshot wounds and more – at the scene, in the ambulance, or in the MMU. According to Dara Davies, clinical operations manager of the MMU, whenever the MMU is not providing real-world medical services across the province, it’s visiting various cities to provide education, awareness and training simulations like this one.
LONGFELLOW’S F U R N I T U R E & M AT T R E S S E S

“We practice situations that have happened in the community, and we look at the potential of ‘What could happen here?’” Davies explained. They’ve recently been in Fernie training professionals and students how to handle a serious motor vehicle accident, and in Port Moody simulating a rescue of passengers aboard a sunken fishing boat, and in Victoria conducting an earthquake-response simulation. Effective communication and collaboration between public safety agencies is critical and can be challenging. Simulations like this provide invaluable education for the students who will soon be the ones who ensure that our communities safe and well taken care of.

B.C. generosity to Syrian refugees ‘overwhelming’ Jeff Nagel

*
SHARE your
2 FOR 1
Black Press The head of B.C.’s refugee resettlement effort says the generosity of residents towards incoming Syrians is “overwhelming” and he’s relieved the federal government has set a more cautious pace for the transfers. Chris Friesen now estimates 400 Syrian refugees will arrive in B.C. in December and expects another 1,500 in January and February, in line with the federal government’s revised goal of bringing in an additional 25,000 before March. “Now we’ve got a month or so to catch our breath, thank goodness,” said Friesen, the director of settlement services for the Immigrant Services Society of B.C., which is federally contracted to assist government-sponsored refugees. He said the magnitude of the response in B.C. is stunning. “This has become the great Canadian national project,” Friesen said. “Syrians are for today’s generation what the Vietnamese boat people were to the baby boomers. In the decades to come, we will look back at 2015-2016 as an historic moment in Canadian history when Canadians embraced a humanitarian crisis and responded in untold ways.” Offers of temporary and permanent housing, employment and myriad donations have been flooding in, from donors as diverse as inner city kindergarten classes and seniors homes to Jewish synagogues and Sikh businessmen. An 18-unit apartment building in Vancouver’s West End that had been slated for demolition has been offered up by developer Ian Gillespie. “He’s turned it over on his dime – fully furnished with telephones, computers – for up to the end of March so we can get through this crunch period,” Friesen said.

Chris Friesen, Immigrant Services Society of B.C.
Refugees will stay in temporary accommodations like that for a couple of weeks, get oriented, find permanent housing and rotate out as new Syrians arrive. The top priority now is finding the permanent homes, many of which are expected to be in more affordable Metro Vancouver cities such as Surrey and Coquitlam. Indo-Canadian developer Daljit Thind, an immigrant himself, has offered several wellappointed permanent apartments on Kingsway in Vancouver at welfare rates, far below what they could fetch. Friesen likens the operation underway to suddenly trying to host the Olympics with next to no notice. “We’ve got over 3,500 volunteers. Close to 800 housing leads. A hundred and something employers wanting to offer first jobs in Canada,” he said. “We’ve got grandmothers knitting toques and scarves and gloves,” Friesen said. “We had a seven-year-old who gave his $2 allowance. A 13-year-old who gave his birthday party money – instead of collecting gifts he basically took money from his friends and gave it to us. It’s unbelievable.” The Immigrant Ser vices Society has helped recruit volunteer, housing and job offers
through its website (www.issbc. org) and it also takes financial donations to help fund private refugee sponsorships. The B.C. Muslim Association is also organizing assistance and collecting donations through its website at www.thebcma.com. Material donations are welcomed by Eversafe Ranch Outreach Society in Surrey, Langley and Delta (eversaferanch.ca) and the Muslim Food Bank (muslimfoodbank.com). About half of the initial 400 arrivals are expected to be privately sponsored and Friesen noted there is no cap on the number of those refugees – significantly more could be brought to B.C. over and above the expected share of governmentsponsored refugees, depending on the number and capacity of B.C. sponsors. Numerous religious groups – including Christians, Muslims, Jews and Sikhs – are gearing up to either directly sponsor refugees or otherwise assist them. “It’s a proliferation of every faith, non-faith, businesses, law firms – it’s the whole gamut,” Friesen said. A trickle of Syrian refugees have been arriving in B.C. already. Eighteen families – 51 Syrians in total – have so far come to

Some local thrift stores were only too happy to donate some tree decorations to the cause, and Schmidt figures there are about half a dozen evergreen trees so far wearing their Christmas finest. Schmidt was inspired to start decorating trees after a sight he saw nearby many years ago. His kids used to mountain bike on Vedder Mountain, and all of a sudden one day, he came upon a decorated tree in the middle of nowhere. “It looked so incredible,” he remembered.

There’s something decidedly cheery about a festive Christmas tree that puts people in a good mood. That’s the thinking behind a community effort by Chilliwack resident Harold Schmidt to encourage everyone to help him deck out a few trees along the Vedder River Trail. First he checked with City of Chilliwack parks officials and got the thumbs-up to proceed. Then he started collecting Christmas tree ornaments, and placed them in a box on a stump near the Peach Road parking lot. The sign on the stump reads: “Take an ornament and help decorate a tree along the path.” Even as The Progress was visiting the area where the trees had been decorated, passersby were shouting out encouragement, like “Great idea!” and “The decorations are so nice!”
Last few years, he’s been putting up the ornaments on a few trees along the Vedder every season. “I figured let’s give them even more of a reason to walk there.” This year he decided to get the community involved in helping him decorate, hence the box of ornaments on the trail just a ways from the Peach Road parking lot. He doesn’t want any credit. He just wants people to enjoy the view. “We walk the trail every day, so it’s kind of fun to walk through and see decorations right out there in nature,” he said. “It’s an unexpected treat.”

When it comes to helping others, the phrase ‘think globally, act locally’ comes to mind. As Canada prepares to welcome thousands of Syrian refugees in the coming months, there are those willing to do everything in their power to help, and it’s admirable. At the same time, there are others demanding that we ‘look after our own’ first – and the many who do just that every day are also admirable. There’s no question the need in our own backyard is great; even some of our closest neighbours are struggling. There are children going hungry, women fleeing violence and seniors who spend all their time alone. It’s a need that receives less public attention than its international counterpart, although it’s often brought to the forefront a little more this time of year, as Christmas approaches, despite its year-round presence. As calls to focus on our own continue to permeate the refugee discussion, we suggest it’s a good time for all of us to ask ourselves, what exactly have we done to make things better for others? Have we donated to the food bank? Have we checked in on that neighbour who hasn’t been seen in a few days? Have we offered to help serve meals at the local soup kitchen? Do we have extra warm-weather clothes that we could donate to help dull the chill for someone who has nowhere but outside to spend the night? Before we criticize the help that’s being given to our international neighbours based on the belief that ‘charity begins at home’, those questions deserve due consideration. Some say how we respond to the plight of Syrian refugees is a test of our values and generosity. The same can be said – and we would venture to an even greater degree – about how we look after our own community. It’s easy to pretend problems, both locally and globally, don’t exist, if we stay inside, turn off our televisions, close our curtains and unplug from the Internet. But it’s neither right nor fair to point to one group that needs help and say, we can’t help you because we have to help our own. Especially if we’re not. And really, even if charity does begin at home, does it have to stop there? ~ Black Press

The stakes are high as climate conference begins Canada is finally moving from being a laggard to finding its place among the leaders in the fight against climate change. For the first time in almost seven years, PM Justin Trudeau met on Monday with federal, provincial and territorial leaders in Ottawa. What a breath of fresh air. The meeting came a week before the COP21 climate conference starts in Paris on November 30 so, effectively, they could get their ducks in a row. And, significantly, the meeting came one day after Alberta premier Rachel Notley announced a climate change plan for her province to place a carbon tax on every resident, phase out coal plants by 2030, and set a greenhouse-gas emissions cap on oilsands production. While there wasn’t enough time to shore up a firm strategy in emissions target agreements
at the Ottawa meeting, what mattered was that everyone came out of that meeting on the same page with an agreement that, yes, Canada is back and a commitment to work together. Getting down to specifics will take place after COP21. But off significance was that the premiers were addressed by Margaret Greg Flato, senior EVANS research scientist with Environment Canada and Alain Bourque, executive director of Ouranos, the Montreal-based consortium on regional climatology and adaptation to climate change. Their presentations were unique in that rarely (and never in the Harper administration) have climate scientists been invited to brief pre-
miers and federal officials on the science behind global warming. But the message was clear as set out in Environment Canada’s report, The Science of Climate Change. Among its key statements were that warming over the 20th century was indisputable and largely due to human activities, Canada’s rate of warming is about is about twice the global rate: a 2ºC increase globally means a 3ºC to 4ºC increase for Canada, and the effects will persist for centuries. That is because greenhouse gases are long-lived and they are the principal cause of the oceans continuing to warm. Warmer summers in Canada may well see a repeat of this summer’s drought, low stream and river flows affecting salmon migration, wildfires, and deadly heatwaves. The challenge is that, globally,

Progress
a 2ºC warming limit has been set. Maybe it’s attainable but only with huge effort by all countries. According to the EC report, we are already 65 per cent along the way associated with the carbon limit. Our carbon emissions, the researchers said, must peak before mid-centur y (35 years from now) so that we can start to attain a net zero in order to try to stabilize the climate. The greatest contribution of Canada’s emissions come from transportation (24 per cent), followed by electricity generation (22 per cent), and construction and other fuel combustion (each at 16 per cent). The effects of climate change are already here. If you want to see the suffering of global warming in action, look into the eyes of Syrian refugees. From 2006 to 2011, huge regions of Syria suffered extreme
drought which was exacerbated by climate change. Agricultural land withered into desert, heatwaves killed crops and grazing animals, and the rapidly changing weather patterns turned farmers and herders into destitute people. The Assad regime’s mismanagement did nothing to help them and the crisis displaced two million people, driving them into urban areas where social unrest triggered the civil war, ultimately forcing millions to abandon the country altogether. That scenario can play itself out elsewhere. Changing weather patterns are being seen in northern Africa and the Sahel region in farmland just south of the Sahara where either drought or flood is driving people to extremes. As COP21 launches Monday the stakes are high for a workable agreement. Failure is not an option.

Byelection an important one On the heels of the federal election comes a much smaller, less significant one. Or is it? Considering that the decisions school trustees make or fail to make, directly affect each and every child in the Chilliwack Public School District, one would think it would be significant. The standard of education a student receives today, can determine how they contribute to society tomorrow. However, voter participation in the electing of school trustees is historically low. The impact that school trustees have on your child’s education is extensive, but not often considered, as trustee’s play more of a behind-the-scenes role. The Chilliwack Board of Education includes seven elected school trustees. These trustees are ultimately engaged in the improvement of student achievement by being responsible for: the provision of educational pro-
grams and resource materials; providing health and social services for schools; establishing rules regarding student behavior and attendance; and establishing school operating procedures. Trustees are also responsible for: determining local policy; the establishment and closure of schools; the management of schools and school property; deciding on community use of school property; establishing catchment areas; ensuring confidentiality of student records; protecting the privacy of students; and preparing the school calendar. The district superintendent who supervises and directs educational staff, and the secretarytreasurer who drafts the annual budget, are both appointed by school trustees. There is currently one vacant spot on the board, and 12 candidates looking to fill that spot. It is important to know what School
trustees do, who the candidates are, and why you should be voting. The provision of public education is a service that not only affects our entire community, but society as a whole. Parents, grandparents and eligible voters must engage in the process of selecting those we entrust to make decisions that affect our students and impact our communities. The Chilliwack District Parent Advisory Council hosted an allcandidates’ debate on the north side, and is offering another opportunity on the south side leading up to the December 12th election. Everyone is welcome to attend. Monday, Nov. 30, 6:30 to 9 p.m., G.W. Graham Theatre, 45955 Thomas Road, Sardis Justine Hodge, President, Chilliwack District Council

I am writing in response to the letter “Don’t put your faith in Science” by G. Vande Bunte, published in the Chilliwack Progress, Nov. 18. The day after this letter was published, 300 people in Chilliwack chose to attend a Council of Canadians sponsored screening of
the film This Changes Everything – a documentar y addressing the reality of climate change and the growing numbers of people around this planet who are developing innovative renewable energy infrastructure while at the same time pushing their governments to address climate change
in courageous, concrete and life sustaining ways. As our newly elected federal government heads into the critically important Paris Climate talks (COP 21) next week, it is undeniable that there is a growing number of us who recognize that the time is now to make bold, meaningful commit-
ments to GHG emission reduction targets. And it is also clear that growing numbers of us are not afraid to change our lifestyles and economic systems to allow for future life on this planet. Thanks, Chilliwack, for reminding me to keep my faith in people. Suzy Coulter, Chilliwack
The Peace Valley is worth fighting for Re: Lights go out for Site C opponents, B.C. Views, Nov. 25. Just last week as I stood at the overlook above the proposed Site C dam site near Fort St John. I saw a swathe of clearcuts on the opposite bank. Local residents described how Hydro cut old-growth eagle trees, crushed beaver dams with machinery, and chipped tall trees despite promises to salvage merchantable timber. However dramatic this may look as Hydro’s spin fodder, when viewed against the nineyear engineering plan these are baby steps. Logging riverbanks
and harassing eagles is not dam construction. There is plenty of time to stop this costly boondoggle that has been purposely kept sheltered from full regulatory scrutiny. And yes, Virginia, agricultural soils – not just the boreal forest – do store globally significant amounts of carbon. According to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization, agricultural soils are among the planet’s largest reservoirs of carbon and hold potential for expanded carbon sequestration. Even more to the point, agricultural soils produce food,
which we can no longer afford to take for granted in an era of droughts and extreme weather. The Peace Valley has the capacity to provide fruits and vegetables for one million British Columbians every year. When the government doesn’t listen – the only option left to citizens is to go to court. Treaty 8 First Nations and Peace Valley landowners are giving it all they’ve got.

Real estate and a low dollar help keep B.C. in the black Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government expects to finish the fiscal year next March with a $265 million surplus, thanks to surging property transfer tax revenues and a lower Canadian dollar that helps everything from tourism to the movie and TV industry. Government revenues have declined due to lower natural gas,
metals and other natural resources, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Tuesday in his second quarter financial update. But with a continued hot real estate market in southwestern B.C. and housing starts running above average, property purchase tax revenue is $150 million ahead of the February budget forecast. Retail sales are running 7.2 per cent ahead of last year for the peri-
od of April to August, with vehicle and parts sales up 9.5 per cent and food and beverage up 7.5 per cent. De Jong said the Canadian dollar, currently trading at 75 cents U.S., has cut down on cross-border shopping trips from B.C. and contributed to a rebound of tourism, which along with stronger employment has helped increase retail sales. The dollar exchange
B.C. remains competitive in the movie business despite Ontario increasing its tax credits in 2009 to cover 25 per cent of all spending by foreign movie and TV
rate has also led to an increase in movie and TV production, which costs the province because of the big tax incentives offered to lure foreign productions here. Foreign movie companies get a 25 per cent tax rebate for all spending on labour in the province, and the latest estimate is those credits will climb to a record $514 million for the current year. De Jong said

fascinating Vietnam, Cambodia & the Mekong river: November 14 - 26, 2016
Support growing for refugee influx SUPPORT from page 5 B.C. in 2015, all of them settling in either Surrey, Delta, Richmond, Burnaby, New Westminster or Coquitlam. “The majority don’t speak English. They’re coming from larger urban centres. Some are survivors of torture,” Friesen said. “It’s a real mixed bag of careers. There are medical students, university students, families with young kids, plumbers, carpenters, accountants.” Language training will be one of the biggest challenges for the mainly Arabic speakers. Friesen expects part of the $670 million Ottawa has budgeted over four years to respond to the crisis to flow to B.C. to help reduce wait lists for English classes and daycare spaces.
Asked if he’s seen local examples of tensions from people worried about security risks, Friesen said he’s had a few negative phone calls, but called them a tiny minority. He calls it a major reversal in public sentiment from years of many Canadians suspecting every refugee was a “welfare-cheating bogus queue-jumping illegal” to a near-universal desire to help. “I’ve got self-inflicted
bruises from constantly pinching myself and wondering ‘what planet am I on?’” One change he still wants to see is an end to the federal policy of making incoming refugees repay loans – with interest – to cover their processing, medical checks and transportation to Canada. Ottawa has already exempted the Syrian refugees from that requirement. Advocates say it’s a
significant hardship and undercuts efforts to help refugees successfully adapt to life in Canada because some may delay or forgo retraining to repay the loans. “To now say Syrians don’t have the loan but all other refugees do makes no sense,” Friesen said. “It’s time to put the loan to bed. It does not align with the humanitarian objectives of this stream of immigration.”

It wasn’t until her doctor called that she felt uneasy. Elizabeth’s blood work determined that her kidney function had decreased significantly. Choosing not to dwell on it, she carried on with her life. “All through this illness, I pretty much kept it to myself,” she said. “I’ve always hated to admit to frailties.” But upon arrival to work in August of 2014, extreme fatigue meant that she couldn’t even stand up. Anyone who’s kidney function is below 15 per cent should be on dialysis. When Elizabeth went into the doctor that day, her kidneys were functioning at only four per cent. She
had reached stage five renal failure. She had always dreaded the day when she would start dialysis, but there was no other choice. Within a few days, she had a catheter inserted into her abdomen and she was trained to administer nightly peritoneal dialysis at home. “I’ve always been a believer that human beings can adapt to anything,” she said. “So I said, ‘This is the way it’s going to be – deal with it.’” But dialysis affected Elizabeth in many ways. “You’re on the fringes, physically and mentally,” she said. “You’re kind of in a fog.” And while being hooked up to a machine was emotionally challenging, she was grateful that the technology existed. Margaret always knew that, when the time came, she wanted to donate a kidney to her sister. Since Elizabeth started dialysis, Margaret took a few weeks to really think about her decision. But following every trepidation, she would return to the same thought, “How could I not?”
Her greatest fear was that she wouldn’t be a match, and what a let down that would be. However, after 10 months of rigorous tests and scans, Margaret got the call she and her sister had been waiting for. “My last dialysis was September 20, 2015,” Elizabeth said proudly. On September 21, her sister’s kidney was transplanted into her body. Elizabeth said that it’s hard to describe how much better she feels since the transplant. “Dialysis keeps you alive… a transplant lets you live.” “I’m myself again now.” And Margaret feels healthy as ever. “Our bodies are so overbuilt. You can function on one good kidney forever,” she said. Ten months of testing was a tedious process, but Margaret was amazed to see the bigger picture. “It’s really quite remarkable that they can do this,” she enthused. “A little part of your body can make somebody better, it’s crazy! And it’s extremely rewarding.” Donating a kidney to her sister wasn’t a sacrifice. It was a privilege. One that they want to share. Elizabeth and Margaret have started a Chilliwack chapter of the Kidney Foundation of Canada.
Through the chapter, members will provide peer support, education and awareness of kidney disease, and encourage organ donation. According to B.C. Transplant, 95 per cent of British Columbians support the idea of donating a kidney to someone in need. Fifty-one per cent reported that they were a registered organ donor. Yet only 19 per cent are actually registered on B.C.’s official organ donation registry. To check if you are already a donor, or to register to become a donor visit transplant.bc.ca. As they grow with members and volunteers, the Chilliwack chapter will be holding regular meetings, participating in health and wellness events, and they hope to have a fundraising walk in March, National Kidney Month. During a wellness fair on November 24, Margaret and Elizabeth met many people in the community who are, or know someone who is going through kidney disease. The chapter will provide those people with support. To learn more about the Chilliwack chapter or to join, contact Margaret at 604-793-7779 or at bmr856@telus. net.

Simple steps to minimize winter damage in your garden Thanks to El Nino, our winter, so far, has been on quite a roller coaster ride, and the recent Arctic outflow means there’s a real possibility of challenging weather ahead. The good news is we can take some steps to minimize the affects on our plants. The first suggestion I would like to make pertains to hardiness.
Most of us know which hardiness zone we live in and should therefore be planting only those plants that will tolerate our zone. Certainly slight variations will exist, but as a rule of thumb, most of the plants zoned for your region will take the worst most winters have to offer. If you don’t know your zone, you can easily find out from
a local nursery. Greater Vancouver is generally rated zone 7 and as you move east through the Valley, zone 6 is the norm. From experience, however, I know that no gardener worth her or his salt pays much attention to zones. Virtually all gardeners set out plants they know are not hardy in their region, but they insist that with a little extra protection
Highroad Academy Presents Sherlock Holmes Friday November 27 & Saturday November 28 at 7:00pm
these plants will survive. Unfortunately, that protection is not always applied until it’s too late. There are, however, some techniques that can add a few degrees of hardiness to many plants. One thing I noticed after an early November cold spell a few years ago was that plants growing in very well-drained sandy soil survived the cold with the least amount of damage. It seems that if a plant’s roots have had to work harder for moisture and food, the plant is tougher and stops growing earlier in the fall. As a consequence, its branches and buds become dormant earlier, preventing severe damage from the cold. These plants also tend to stay dormant longer and suffer far less root damage because with a lower moisture content, the soil is not moved about so much by the frost. Planting all your plants, particularly the softer ones, in well-drained

www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1
soils is a sure way to toughen them up. A further protection for more tender plants is a good mulching with fir or hemlock bark mulch. Mulching makes an incredible difference both in summer and winter. It not only protects from the Brian cold but MINTER it also helps retain critical moisture necessary at both times of the year. It can also be worked into your soils in spring. Immediately after a cold spell when the temperature is on the rise and the frost is coming out of the ground, it’s essential to get moisture back into our plants, especially for those planted under eaves. Soak the living daylights out of the foliage of broadleaved plants and thoroughly penetrate the root system with water. A good watering can really make quite a difference, saving buds on camellias and rhododen-
drons, as well as keeping the foliage looking good. Desiccation from cold, drying winter winds is another major problem. As if the severe wind on our more tender broadleaved plants, like aucubas, photinias, rhododendrons and azaleas, is not bad enough, winter sunshine can burn their foliage. Not only is it important to create wind breaks around our softer plants, it’s also essential to keep winter sunshine off them in severe cold. We always winter our rhododendrons in a lath house that both shades them and acts as a windbreak. One of the important things to do, particularly where plants are exposed to cold outflow winds, is to create a tripod of strong stakes and wrap the plants with the new insulating cloth, ‘N-Sulate’, which can make up to an 8-10°C difference. It is also important to check bulbs and roots stored in garages and sheds to make sure they are insulated from severe cold and freezing. Small greenhouses are wonderful for starting new plants and keeping over old ones, but plastic and glass are
very susceptible to cold. Greenhouses need to be not only heated but also insulated with bubble poly on the inside to help alleviate the severity of the cold. Wet heavy snow can break and bend many weaker plants, so staking them and wrapping them tightly with twine for extra support will make a huge difference. Experiencing numerous years of cold winters in our gardens has taught us many good lessons. First and foremost, never let your guard down. A couple of years of mild winters can lull us into winter complacency. Make sure you always prepare the appropriate winter protection. Secondly, as bad as it may seem, don’t assume the worst until new growth appears, or doesn’t appear, in the spring. Finally, cold winters are just a part of the gardening cycle. Passionate gardeners will keep on planting tender plants - losing a few is part of the learning curve we all go through. However, with a little preventative protection, you should be able to avoid losing anything.

Shaw: Don’t just survive this holiday season, thrive Wellness warrant gaining weight, or feeling lethargic. If you find yourself worried about the holidays, remind yourself that the holidays are just a series of social events; and for most
people, social events and family gatherings happen all year round. The November and December months are really not that different. Yes, there will be opportunities to eat foods you wouldn’t normally find in front of you, but you’re an adult. If you Tanja really SHAW want chocolate, or shortbread, or a certain type of cheese, you can likely have it anytime of the year. • Remind yourself WHY you want to be healthy. Do your exercises each day because you want to take good care of yourself, and you want to be energized for the rest of the day. Eat well because you want to fuel your body with life giving, nourishing foods. Take care of yourself because you are worth it. The holidays are a wonderful time of the year- would you rather spend it feeling energetic and vibrant, or sluggish, bloated and frustrated with yourself? • Have realistic expectations. If your goal is to lose weight, aim to maintain during the holidays. If you manage to lose a pound or two, consider it a bonus. If you bring in 2016 the same weight you are now, consider is a huge success! • Keep moving. Yes, workouts can offset some of the extra indulgences, but there are a few more important reasons to keep up your workouts over the holidays. Many people struggle with low energy, sadness and stress over the holidays. Workouts will help manage stress and pump up those ‘feel good hormones’. Exercise will make you feel energized and healthy, and may make you less likely to overindulge in holiday treats. After dinner walks are another good way to fit in a little extra exercise. Remember that something is better than nothing, and everything counts.

ies almost anytime you want, if you really want it. You’ve had it before, and you’ll have it again. It’s just food. • Be really, really picky. The buffet table can be a dream come true - or a worst nightmare. Before loading up your plate, take a look at all your options. If you try to sample all the options, you will likely eat too much. Instead, be picky! Don’t waste your calories on foods that you just ‘sort of’ like. Instead, decide what foods you loveand enjoy those foods mindfully and with gusto. Slow down, pay attention to the flavours and textures of each bite. Eat your favourite foods first when you’ll enjoy them the most. • Do less. A big reason why we feel

• Don’t save your calories. Skipping meals in order to bank calories for extra indulgences later on is a surefire way to eat way too much and overcompensate for a few missed meals. Why? Because you’re starving! Your ‘rational brain’ is no match for your ‘emotional brain’ when you are too hungry. Instead of skipping meals, eat smaller meals, rich in veggies and protein. If you’re going out, eat a small meal at home before you leave. That way you won’t arrive at a party extremely hungry, and will have an easier time making healthy choices. • Focus on friends, not food. The holidays are about spending time with the ones that you love, so make that the focus. Fully engage in conversations and activities with your loved ones, instead of focusing on the food. After all, it’s just food. Like I said in the first point, you can likely have meatballs, cheese, or Gingerbread cook-

Giants hope to ‘Fill the Field’ for food bank Sam Bates The Progress
11/15F_KJ27
Drive through to fill up the shelves at the food bank this Sunday. The Chilliwack Giants are hosting the first annual Fill the Field food bank fundraiser to support the Chilliwack Salvation Army food bank. Whether you’re a player, a parent or a fan, the Giants invite you to stop by Townsend Park with a non-perishable food item to be donated. Parents and players will be there to greet you and serve up some hot chocolate and candy canes in thanks. As the Giants approached the end of their season, coach Amanda Johnson came up with the idea to support the food bank as they ramp up for their busiest season. “We know it’s needed. This is a time when
the food bank is doing all they can to support the community,” said Giants board member and event coordinator Jillian Fraser. “It’s a way to teach the kids that this is what you do, especially over the holidays... you give back,” Fraser explained. Excited about the prospects of this fundraiser, Fraser is already planning on ways to make it a bigger and better fun event in coming years. They plan to book the field, stream the Grey Cup on the screen, and to have kids playing football while people drop off the donations. Most needed items include canned chunky soups, pork and beans, dry pasta and nonperishable snacks. And don’t worry, you can make it home before the big game starts. Visit Townsend Park on Sunday Nov. 29 between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. to help the Giants generously fill the shelves of the food bank.

Opportunities scarce Trying to find a stat that isn’t positive for a team that’s won 17 of their first 26 games isn’t easy, but I did find one, writes Jacob Bestebroer
After seeing their 10 game win streak snapped in a lost to Wenatchee last weekend (pictured), the Chilliwack Chiefs started a new streak with a 4-0 shutout of Prince George. DARREN FRANCIS PHOTO
Chiefs blank Spruce Kings to take top spot Matteo Esposito stopped 24 shots Wednesday night earning his third shutout in just his 11th BCHL appearance. The rookie stopper backstopped his Chilliwack Chiefs past the Prince George Spruce Kings 4-0 in a midweek clash.. Four dif ference Chiefs gave him offensive support as his team improved to 17-6-1-2, leap-frogging the idle Wenatchee Wild for first place in the Mainland division. Veteran blueliner Mark Esposito got the Chiefs on the board in this one, opening the scoring at 11:39 of period one. Taking a pass from Nolan Zweep, Esposito put a wrister on net, slipping it through a forest of legs and skates past Prince

The visitors were buzzing to start peri- Shane added anoth-
er 6:56 into period three. D-man Austin Adam threw the puck on net from the right point, and McCloskey couldn’t find it. Shane waded into the goalmouth scramble and whacked the puck into the cage for his second of the year and first as a Chief. The three stars were Matteo Esposito (first), Dennis Cholowski (second) and Craighead (third). The Fortis BC Energy Player of the Game was Mitch Skapski. Announced attendance was 1,855. Chilliwack now looks ahead to a Friday night home date with the Coquitlam Express (10-11-1-3) at Prospera Centre. Game time is 7 p.m. See bchl.ca
I think I may have the ability to jinx the Chilliwack Chiefs. Last Friday I wrote about two impressive streaks they had going. The first one, not having trailed for over 500 minutes, was ended that night when the visiting Powell River Kings opened the scoring. The Chiefs came back to win that game but the next night the other streak, which was now up to 10 straight wins ended with a home ice loss to the Wenatchee Wild. So this week I am going to test my ability at reverse jinxing. I’m going to point out something the Chiefs are not doing well, shine some light on it and then see if the problem goes away. Trying to find a stat that isn’t a positive one for a team that has won 17 of their first 26 games isn’t easy but I did find one. Through 26 games the Chiefs have had 88 power play opportunities. That ranks them 17th out of 17 teams. The second last team on that list is the Coquitlam Express who have had 99 power plays. That’s 12.5 per cent more than the Chiefs. To give that the Chiefs number a little more perspective, the Nanaimo Clippers lead the league with 154 opportunities. Penticton Vees forward Tyson Jost has drawn 24 penalties himself this season. If they maintain their current pace, the Chiefs will finish the season with 196 chances with the man advantage. I could only find league records going back 12 years and the lowest total was 201 by the 2012-13 Vernon Vipers. Maybe the Chiefs have just
been unlucky so far. Maybe they aren’t getting the calls that other teams are getting and things will return to average over the course of the entire season. Or maybe they can tweak their game a bit to draw more penalties. Through the first half of this season the Chiefs have the second best record in the BCHL. They’ve proved, at least so far, that they can be successful despite their inability to draw penalties. They don’t need to improve in this area to challenge for a league championship. But imagine if they did. The Chiefs are averaging 3.81 goals per game. That’s a good number and ranks them fifth in the league. Finding a way to increase their power play chances would obviously lead to more goals scored. It would also decrease the number of scoring chances for opposition teams which would lead to an improved goals against average. The Chiefs returned to their winning ways Wednesday night with a 4-0 win over the visiting Prince George Spruce Kings. They’ll try and make it two straight when they host the Coquitlam Express on Saturday. It’s just the second meeting of the season between the two teams and the first since September. It’s also Movember Night. Tommy Guns Original Barbershop will be at the game and anyone who wants to get their mustaches and or beards shaved off can do so by donation to help fight Prostate Cancer A few Chiefs players will have their mustaches shaved off at centre ice during an intermission. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

The camp will be held Dec. 5-8 at the Leduc (Alberta) Recreation Centre. For wards Vimal Sukumaran, Jordan Kawaguchi and Kohen Olischefski are joined by defenceman Dennis Cholowski and goalie Matteo Esposito. Chilliwack has more candidates than any other BCHL team. Powell River is sending three.
Penticton, Coquitlam and Langley have two apiece with Salmon Arm, Vernon, Merritt and Surrey supplying singles. The final team will be selected from players from the BCHL, Alberta Junior Hockey League, Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, Manitoba Junior Hockey League and Superior International Junior Hockey League.
The AJHL is sending the most to the tryout with 24. Team Canada West has won gold at the WJAC on three occasions, the last being in 2011 in Langley. The United States has claimed gold six times, including the last three years in a row. Only Canada West or the U.S. has ever won the event since its inception in 2006.
The 2015 WJAC will be co-hosted by Whitby and Cobourg, ON. from Dec. 13-19.

Chilliwack D-man impressing pro scouts Dennis Cholowski has jumped up a letter grade. The Langley teen as been given a ‘B’ grade by National Hockey League Central Scouting in their most recent ‘Players to Watch’ list for the 2016 NHL draft. A ‘B’ grade indicates a second or third round candidate. The list was released earlier this week (Nov. 24) and is the second one leading up to the June NHL draft. In the initial rankings list released in late September Cholowski was given a ‘C’ grade, which translates into a fourth to sixth round draft candidate. Cholowski is a six-foot-one, 165-pound defenceman for the Chilliwack Chiefs. He is committed to St. Cloud State for next season. In 23 games this season Cholowksi has five goals and 15 points in 23 games. Cholowski is one of seven BCHLers to make the list.

Peewee Bruins shut down Langley Chilliwack’s peewee A1 Bruins got flawless goaltending from Brayden Melnyk in a 4-0 shutout win over Langley Tuesday night. After a scoreless first period, the Bruins got on the board 37 seconds into the middle frame on a goal by Mitchell Metcalfe. He finished off a beautiful tic-tac-toe play set up by Greye Rampton and Owen Hopcott. Hopcott got one of his own moments later, with Lucas Bourdon drawing the assist. Metcalfe sniped his second of the night midway through period two, scoring on a lob shot from the blueline. Christian Clease wrapped up the scoring in the third period, with assists to Derek Priest and Ryder O’Brien. The Bruins have lost just once in their last
standing special teams tackler.” The final selection is Eastern conference defensive MVP Cainen Bergh, the hard-hitting linebacker. “He was the leading tackler in the Eastern conference and he is the heart and soul of our D,” Smith said. The all-stars lead their crew into battle Saturday at BC Place, facing Carson Graham in a provincial semifinal. Kickoff is noon. See bchighschoolfootball.com.

A quartet of players on the GW Graham AA varsity football squad have earned all-star recognition. The selections were announced last week-
end. Left tackle Liam McCormick got the nod. “He is known for his aggressive style and run blocking and blocking down-field,” GWG head coach Laurie Smith said of his Grade 11 road paver. “He is the strongest and fastest of a very capable offensive line.” Receiver Emerson Smith is the second of fensive all-star, described by his coach as being among the top three receivers in the province.

He loved his God, his family and friends with all his heart, to him people came before anything else that was going on. A great big thank you for the wonderful care of Dr. Paul Graham who came alongside Bernie with his health challenges in the last number of years and to Dr. Bull and the staff of Cascades Hospice who were instrumental in making his final days as comfortable as possible.

Barbara Mabel (Nee Bennewith) 1920 - 2015 It is with great sadness that the family of Barbara (nee Bennewith) (formerly Kennedy) OHMAN announces that she passed away peacefully at home in Agassiz, BC, on Tuesday November 17, 2015 at the age of 95. Barbara was born on July 22, 1920 on the family farm in Rosedale BC, the fifth of ten children. She was predeceased by her parents James and Florence Bennewith who immigrated to Canada and the Rosedale area from Gloucestershire, England in 1910. In 1932 the family moved to a farm on Cuthbert Road in Agassiz, BC. Barbara married Dean Kennedy in 1941 and had a family of seven children. Sadly Dean died suddenly in 1960. Barbara married John “Adolf” Ohman in 1961 - Adolf passed away in 2001. She was predeceased by her sisters: Grace (Miller) and Joyce, and brothers: Les; Bill; Jim; Stan Bennewith. She is survived by her siblings: Frances “Frank” (Morrow); Margaret (Edmondson) and Gerald Bennewith. She will be dearly missed by her children: Bob (Bev); Bill (Marilyn); Sharon (Garth) Parberry; Gary (Shirley); Jim Ohman; Jean (Vince) Sciotti; Deana (Mike) Rebstock. Barbara had fifteen grandchildren: Darren (Lenni); Warren; Scott (Chantel); Carla; Lona (Aaron); Shannon (Harold); Shareen; Kraig (Aryn); Keith (Melanie); Shane (Alea); Jamie (Tim); Dean (Medo); Tanya; Megan; Aaron (Brent). She also had twenty great-grandchildren with one more greatgrandchild on the way. Barbara attended Rosedale School during her first few years and then went to school in Agassiz when the family moved across the Fraser River. During her working years, she worked as a cook at the Agassiz Agricultural Research Station Boarding House and also cooked at the Glenwood Hospital in Agassiz. She was a talented baker, and to the delight of her family, she baked bread, buns and cookies almost every week of her life up until the last year or so. Her interests included carpet bowling and gardening as she loved flowers, she also enjoyed having Siamese cats and Maltese dogs. Over the years, as well as raising her own large family, she also looked after many foster children. Barbara lived most of her life in Agassiz and enjoyed the rural lifestyle. Much of her life was spent on small farms where she always kept a cow and calves; chickens; ducks and sometimes a goat. She was very pleased to be an early pioneer of the area and well remembered, as a young girl, milking cows for Ruben Hogg. Barbara was proud to be a part of the large Bennewith extended family and all its relatives. No service will be held at the request of the deceased. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the BC Heart & Stroke Foundation.

PERSONALS
Alcoholics Anonymous
LYTTLE Born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Mary was known to her family and friends as “Minnie”, but chose to revert to her Christened name of Mary when she immigrated to Canada with her husband Thomas (Tom) in 1973. Mary and Tom fitted well into their adopted country, residing in Vancouver, White Rock and Chilliwack. Daughter Marie Harman and son David (Helen Ryding) had preceded them to follow careers in Canada. Mary is predeceased by husband Tom, brother Harry and sisters Sadie and Lily. Mary’s father, John Boal, died in the influenza epidemic of 1918, so the family of four was raised by their mother, Sarah Jane Thompson (“Nanna Boal”) with the help and frequent correction by Grandfather Thompson. Mary’s long life was devoted to her family and she will be missed by grandchildren John, Patrick, Sarah, Ruth, Justine, and Ian. She will also be missed by great-grandchildren; Jordan, Leigha, Erin, Thomas, Jarrod, Eric, Hannah, Katy, and Alex. Whenever a cake was needed for a family get-together, Mary was the baker. She acquired skills in decorating wedding cakes, so no family wedding was complete without a multi-tiered cake elaborately decorated with royal icing. Mary and Tom were tireless supporters of the Presbyterian Churches of which they were members in Dunmurry, Northern Ireland, and in British Columbia. Many thanks are due to caregivers in Valleyhaven, Chilliwack, BC. Cremation has taken place and a private celebration of Mary’s life will be held by family members at a later date. Flowers are gratefully declined. Friends are encouraged to remember her by donations to charities which improve the lives of the poor and hungry.
