Liquor stores aim to sell marijuana ‘Best suited’ to become weed dealers Jeff Nagel Black Press Liquor stores – both private- and government-run outlets – should be authorized to sell recreational marijuana when the federal government delivers on its election promise to bring in a new regulated system. That’s the pitch coming from the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, which represents government store workers, and the B.C. Private Liquor Store Association. The two groups, normally competitors, joined forces Wednesday to argue their stores are well qualified to responsibly handle legalized marijuana, alongside beer, wine and spirits. “We haven’t been aligned in the past but we are aligned on this issue,” said Damian Kettlewell of the private stores association. “We’re suggesting that we have the experience and the knowledge and, eventually, the product training to sell this product in liquor stores.” He emphasized the aim is to serve as the retailers for recreational pot only, and not compete with existing medical marijuana providers. Liquor stores are already required to check ID to ensure patrons are over 19 to prevent alcohol purchases by youth, said BCGEU president Stephanie Smith. “Liquor stores provide the most strictly controlled system for accessing a controlled substance, and are best suited for the retailing of non-medical marijuana,” she said. “We have an effective warehousing, retail and distribution system in place. There is no need to reinvent the wheel.” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has so far set no timeline to legalize and regulate non-medical marijuana. The City of Vancouver has been developing its own licensing system to authorize a limited number of marijuana storefronts and some other municipalities have considered a similar approach.

A system that captures methane gas at the Bailey Landfill has prevented 1.4 million square metres from being released directly into the atmosphere. That is equal to about 20,000 tonnes of GHG (CO2) equivalent.

Chilliwack eyes green options from its landfill methane capture system Money earned by reducing methane output at the landfill could fuel other green initiatives, council decides Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack council had a choice to make this week about the city’s greenhouse gas emission offsets. Council had to satisfy requirements by the Climate Investment Branch of B.C. Ministry of Environment’s Climate Action Secretariat, to either sell the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission

offsets (created by flaring methane at the landfill), or put them toward achieving carbon neutrality, if required, at some later date. Chilliwack council voted Tuesday to move forward to negotiate the sale of the city’s emission offsets from operating its landfill gas management system at the Bailey Landfill. An offset is created by calculating the difference between the

amount of GHG that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere had measures not been in place to prevent it. Those offsets can then be sold to larger carbonemitters to help them reduce their overall carbon footprint. After monitoring and other costs were factored in, Chilliwack is expected to make between $75,000 to $275,000 from the sale of those offsets, and that money could be reinvested into the landfill infrastructure and operation. When the issue came up for discussion at the council meeting, Coun. Chuck Stam floated the idea of specifically earmark-

ing those offset funds for electric vehicles. “It would be nice to reinvest it back into green technology,” said Stam, who later admitted green initiatives within the landfill system itself would work as well. Staff’s original recommendation was to sell the offsets and return the funds back into the landfill reserve, but council indicated it had an appetite for making those funds used on environmentally friendly projects. The city is still working toward carbon neutrality, and will likely end up buying offsets in the future, if required to do so by Continued: CARBON/ p10

Council asks feds to crack down on payday loan rates Jennifer Feinberg

a public safety, and healthier community issue for the municipality. “These places are popping up all over town,” said Coun. Sue Attrill about payday loan outlets, as the councillor who moved the resolution. It’s hard to regulate as a municipality since the interest rate maximums are set under federal jurisdiction, she said, but it’s “outrageous” how high the interest rates can go. Chief Administrative Officer Peter Monteith told council it couldn’t “prohibit” this type of business, but it could “regulate”

The Progress Desperate people do desperate things. That’s one of the reasons why Chilliwack council voted Tuesday to ask the federal government to ratchet down the maximum interest rate that can be charged on short-term loans. The issue is predatory business practices of some outfits offering cheque-cashing services and charging very high rates and fees. Council is leaning on the federal government because it’s become

the activity, by creating a “payday loan zone,” so any new ones would be required to go before public hearing for rezoning. “We have some social issues in Chilliwack, as does every growing city. This has become a significant social issue,” said Coun. Attrill. These businesses are legitimate, the councillor underlined, “and they have every right to be in business,” but they tend to charge an exorbitant rate of interest in the short-term, up to 60 per cent. “For people who are already marginalized, they end up getting themselves in trouble, living pay-

day to payday, and giving up any disposable income just to make ends meet,” she said. Anyone using these loan services on regular basis, “eventually finds themselves in trouble,” Coun. Attrill said. “It doesn’t leave a lot of options.” They’re firing off the request in the form of a letter this week. “We hope that will meet with favour from Ottawa,” Attrill added. Coun. Jason Lum noted that other municipalities have been proactive as well, limiting the number of them and proximity to each other, in a similar way to

what Chilliwack does with pawn shops. In the end, council voted to request in writing to the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada “that Section 347 of the Criminal Code of Canada be amended to reduce the maximum amount of interest that can be charged for a loan.” They also voted to use some municipal muscle by endorsing the resolution that the Federation of Canadian Municipalities put forth, asking the feds to reduce the maximum interest rate.

Christmas parade ready to hit the streets Sam Bates The Progress Hit the streets on Saturday for the most fun and festive community event of the year. The Rotary Christmas Parade brings the holiday spirit downtown beginning at 5:30 p.m. Presented in part by the City of Chilliwack, local rotary clubs and the work of generous volunteers and sponsors, thousands will gather to spread warm Christmas cheer for this annual event. It is Raymond Cauchi’s first year in the Rotary Christmas Parade Coordinator role, and he’s pleasantly surprised by the great

community support and engagement. “It’s going to be pretty amazing,” Cauchi said. He commended Sharon Dueck and other prior parade organizers for their “fantastic” work. “I’m just keeping this solid tradition going!” The parade route will begin rolling west from a spot near Evergreen Hall, along Corbould, onto Wellington and then along Yale Road east. Earlier in the day there will be children’s ornament making at Vineyard Community Centre beginning at 2 p.m. You can also snap a selfie with

Owners of The Local Harvest Market on Lickman Road are ready to start building — after being given until October 2015 to come into compliance with City of Chilliwack bylaws. Since they’re still not technically in compliance, fines were recently issued. But construction on the new structure should kick off in January 2016, with completion set for August 2016. “As it stands, construction is due to begin in just over one month and we’re incredibly excited as we continue to work hard in accomplishing our mission to create a local food system where every citizen of our city has access to quality food year-round,” wrote owner Dan Oostenbrink in his online announcement about construction at the Local Harvest site this week. They were told the process will be fast-tracked, he said. The unique new structure will house their produce market, eatery, bakery and more. There are even plans to grow citrus and other tropical fruits inside the new building. “By early 2015, after less than one year in operation, and after experiencing astonishingly rapid growth and increasing positive public attention, we began facing pressure from our municipality who expressed concerns that we were operating in a building that did not meet the rigorous seismic, fire and structural building code regulations of 2015,” he wrote on the Local Harvest Facebook page.

Bundle up and enjoy live entertainment, beautiful light displays, a Christmas market and much more at the magical Cultus Lake Christmas Dec. 4, 5, and 6 at Main Beach. CHRISTIAN LAUB PHOTO

Sam Bates The Progress Stroll through Cultus Lake Park this weekend to be enchanted by all things Christmas. Enjoy warm cider, shop from local food and craft vendors, roast marshmallows and listen to some great live entertainment at this free family event. According to Cultus Lake Events and Activities Committee member Patti Carpenter, this is the third year that the beach has been captivated by Santa and the beautiful lights, but it’s the first year for the market. “We’re starting with a small scale market. We’re just getting our feet wet,” she said. But they’re preparing for growth. “We’re looking at it as a long-term project,” Carpenter explained. With more lights and participants every year, the goal is to create a

“winter wonderland destination” for surrounding communities to unite. There will be a variety of live entertainment nightly, including a student choir, a German squeeze box player and storyteller, and plenty of sing-along Christmas tunes. The old-fashioned market features local food and handcrafted jewellery, art, body products and decor. U n s w o r t h Elementar y School students will be selling popcorn to raise funds for new playground equipment. Warm your hands by roasting marshmallows at the beach bonfire or by sipping a cup of complimentary hot chocolate or apple cider, donated by Panago. This year they have more lights than ever to brighten up the Cultus Lake shoreline, and the house decorating contest creates an added incentive for residents

Fred’s

to go above and beyond. Attendees are encouraged to snap a photo and jot down the address of their favourite house and send to cultus.contest@gmail. com by Dec. 12. Voters are entered to win one of three $25 gift cards to Lakeside Beach Club. The top three favourite houses will receive $100 each. Winners will be announced Dec. 21. Kids have a chance to take home a prize, too. Print out the reindeer colouring contest sheet from cultuslakechristmas.ca. Bring the coloured sheet to the event and drop it off while sitting on Santa’s knee, who will be there nightly between 6 and 8 p.m. Two lucky children will win a $50 gift card to The Play Room and Toy Shop. You’ll also be able to purchase raffle tickets for the Ultimate Cultus

Lake Adventure contest. The prize includes sea-doo rental, paddle boarding, Cultus Lake Golf Club green fees, waterpark and adventure park tickets and more.

Variable speed limits coming to three highways Jeff Nagel Black Press New electronic speed signs that activate in bad weather to reduce the speed limit are now being installed on stretches of the SeaTo-Sky Highway, the Coquihalla and Highway 1 near Revelstoke. The province committed to the variable speed zones at the same time it decided to raise the posted maximums to 120 km/h on portions of the Coquihalla, and to 100 km/h on much of the Sea-to-Sky Highway. The 47 digital signs are to go live in early 2016 and when they’re activated the dialeddown limit will be enforceable by police. The province had promised the digital signs would be in place for this winter, but with two to three months of testing still required, winter may be mostly over on the Highway 99 section by the time they’re working. An extensive system

of traffic, pavement and visibility sensors will be calibrated to detect challenging conditions – whether it’s extreme cold, freezing rain or heavy snowfall – and provide a recommended speed to operations staff, who will update the maximum speed shown on digital signs. Overhead message signs at the entrance to each corridor will tell drivers they’re entering a variable speed zone and to be aware of changing weather conditions. The transportation ministry is spending $12.5 million to install and run the three pilot

OPTOMETRIST

systems. Officials hope the pilot project will spur more drivers to reduce speed in severe winter conditions and save lives. Police say they’re developing procedures to fairly enforce the variable limits and ensure drivers have seen the signs before being tickets are issued. “There’s huge challenges from the enforcement side,” Delta Police Chief Neil Dubord, who chairs the traffic safety committee of the B.C. Association of Chiefs of Police. “We have to be absolutely coordinated with

the province when they’re turning them down.” Dubord said variable speed zones will help mitigate the risk from the increased speed limits, which he said police chiefs still have qualms about. “We would still like to have seen the speeds stay where they were, on the Coquihalla especially,” Dubord said, adding speed remains a major contributor to fatal crashes. Crews are installing 16 variable signs on the Sea to Sky from Squamish to Whistler, 13 on the Coquihalla from Portia interchange to the old toll plaza, and 18 on Highway 1 from Perry River to Revelstoke. Dubord said he had hoped to see the signs activated sooner. “We’re already getting some good snows on the Coquihalla so it would be nice to have it up there already.”

A nanny is not a government expense

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

Well, that was a short honeymoon. New PM Justin Trudeau was ushered into power amid a mood of positivity and change. After a Conservative government that, in its later years, had been mired in numerous spending scandals, from $8 orange juice to Mike Duffy’s trial, any new leader had to campaign to be clean. And Trudeau did, decrying tax cuts for the rich that would have benefitted him and other members of Canada’s one per cent. But now, having settled in, Trudeau suddenly has no problem accepting taxpayer money for things he could easily afford for himself. The Trudeau family’s two nannies will be paid for out of the public purse, not the Trudeau family bank account. That’s an astoundingly tone-deaf decision for a government just coming into power to make. Especially after an election that wasn’t just fought over corruption and overspending, but over public access to child care. On the spending side, Mr. Trudeau can certainly afford to pay for his own childcare needs. This year the PM will be paid $334,800, which happens to be more than 10 times the median income in Canada. While other Canadians fret about finding a daycare they can afford, has space, and trust with their kids, at least one family can relax. During the campaign, each of the parties had their plans for child care, with the NDP advocating a publicly funded system, the Tories looking to tax breaks for the middle (and wealthy) classes, and the Liberals… they promised to start working on a plan within 100 days of taking office. Well, they certainly applied that zeal for action to taking care of their leader’s childcare needs. Let’s hope they drop the government funded nannies and start worrying about the rest of Canadians within the next couple of months. C’mon Mr. Trudeau. The clock is ticking! -Black Press

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Just because they can do more these days in genetics, should they? While world attention is focused on COP21 in Paris where delegates are bantering on ways to fix the climate, another conference has been underway in Washington, D.C. on a topic just as challenging — scientists’ new-found ability to cut and paste human DNA to fix genetic defects. We’ve been tinkering with gene modifications for a while now. We’re good to go on a malariaresistant mosquito, revive woolly mammoth genes, or clone animals. But what if, in a new surge of enthusiasm, we get it wrong? What if we cut and paste DNA in one specific location but it causes a mutation to show up elsewhere? What if someone, somewhere alters something that permanently changes the human genome? There’s a cautionary tale out there about lab experiments conducted in China using ‘non-viable’ embryos (which cannot result in a live birth) obtained from local

fertility clinics to modify a gene responsible for a potentially fatal blood disorder using a gene-editing technique known as CRISPR/ Cas9. The research paper published in the online journal Protein and Cell by scientists at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou repor ted their results showed Margaret serious obstacles if the method is EVANS used for medical applications. And, according to the report, the research team found a surprising number of “off-target” mutations assumed to be introduced by the technology acting on other parts of the genome. It’s a stern warning for any practitioner wanting to grab and run with the latest technology. And it’s

the thrust behind the conference in Washington where scientists are debating the clinical, ethical, legal, and social implications of the whole development of human gene editing. On the one hand the technology offers tantalizing hope to cure intractable diseases but at the same time are we altering forever our hereditary genetic code, opening the doors for designer babies and eugenics and humans on an artificially engineered evolutionary course? The gene editing tool, CRISPRCas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat) was developed by two UC Berkeley molecular biologists in 2012 building on previous gene-editing tools that were cumbersome and inaccurate. CRISPR-Cas9 works like a biological version of cut-and-paste software and it is so fast, cheap and simple for biologists to use

that research is exploding. This tool allows DNA editing of just about every organism on the planet with ease and growing accuracy. Scientists are using the technique to unravel gene defects and look at potential treatments for conditions like muscular dystrophy, sickle cell disease, and cancer. On a broader scale, biological scientists are looking at ways to use the technology to improve crop production or tweak species to adapt to climate change. Anyone would welcome a technology that provides a cure for a life-threatening or debilitating disease. But there’s possibly an ethical line being crossed when the same tools are used for ‘germline’, or heredity, research to manipulate reproductive cells – sperm, eggs, or embryos – and create gene changes that will be inherited by future generations. However, proponents argue that, on the plus side, germline

editing could solve issues like male infertility (by altering spermproducing cells) or provide opportunities for research that could provide more understanding about miscarriages. CRISPR clearly has promise for treating infectious diseases and a range of medical conditions. It has proved to be a game-changer for biomedical research and it is rapidly changing researchers’ abilities to do experiments that improve applied science. But this week in Washington, scientists are facing hard questions. How far should they take this technology? What ethical/ legal/moral lines does it cross? What about the unintended consequences? Who oversees the work and who oversees the overseer? CRISPR-Cas9 offers immense potential for tweaking the human genome. But just because you can, does it mean you should?

Simple solutions to waste reduction ties – how easy it is to unload, and yes they employ people who will help you unload your waste. Oops, sorry no need to travel the world to solve this issue. FVRD, wipe off your rose coloured glasses, roll up your sleeves, and do something that will serve the community, reduce waste, and be cost effective. Action required here. Fred Petersen Chilliwack, B.C.

Support without harming dignity Driving through downtown Chilliwack last week, I was disappointed, once again, to see that a group of people who were supposedly trying to help the city’s less fortunate had carefully placed clothing and other items out on the sidewalk at Five Corners by the court house for people to rummage through and take what they wanted. I’m assuming the intention of the group offering support was good. However, at first glance, it seemed more like I was driving down East Hastings Street in Vancouver where “street vendors” often try to sell stolen wares to the passing public. As I stopped and saw people rummaging the “merchandise,” it seemed to be an activity that degraded, exploited and robbed the people being served of their dignity keeping them

enslaved as paupers and beggars. As I parked by the curb for a moment in quiet reflection observing the activity on the sidewalk, I was reminded that a number of agencies serving people in downtown Chilliwack provide for the basic necessities of the disenfranchised in life-giving and supportive environments that allows people to regain a positive selfimage, not as rummagers, but as fully reciprocating members of a caring community. Ruth & Naomi’s Mission, Salvation Army, Ann Davis, Wilma’s House, Cyrus Centre, Pacific Community Resources, Creative Centre Society, Street Hope, Riverstone, CGH, Fraser Health/ Mental Health, RCMP and others (I’m sure I missed some - sorry) all work together in a col-

laborative community to actively support and care in ways that offers hope, healing and homes for the immediate and long-term care of those in need. Access to free and/ or affordable clothing is available in store-front settings such as Ruth & Naomi’s Mission, Salvation Army, Ann Davis, Street Hope, the United Church, and other small businesses/ thrift stores that are properly managed and appropriately licensed by the city. Safely prepared food at no-cost is available through a number of agencies such as Ruth & Naomi’s Mission or Salvation Army weekdays and the United Church, the Bridge and the Native Pentecostal Church (Evergreen Hall) on weekends. As well, access to safe shelter for the homeless or those

at-risk of being homeless is also available through Ruth & Naomi’s Mission, Salvation Army, Cyrus Centre, the Village and the Health and Housing Contact Centre. For women and their children fleeing violent circumstances, Ann Davis and Wilma’s House offer caring and supported housing. Working together in collaborative partnership ensures that resources of the community are being managed in an effective and caring way which strengthens the efforts to assist those most vulnerable. Consider financially supporting one of these agencies listed above this Christmas. They can ensure that the needs of individuals and families can be met in a dignified and caring manner. Dr. John A. Gray, Ruth & Naomi’s Mission

No need to demonize carbon Re: Inconvenient truths of climate change, Tom Fletcher B.C. Views, Chilliwack Progress, Dec. 2. Through this e-mail I wish to thank you for your article in today’s Progress about above topic. In the tsunami of often ill founded and ill supported propaganda of late, to which The Progress is no stranger either, it was encouraging to read your article highlighting some of the political motiva-

tion and religious fervor that is driving this issue. This massive wealth transfer has nothing to do with global warming or climate change, but everything with the political drive to impoverish western nations in an enormous global equalizer effort. Not a sound mind will deny that climate changes. It always has and always will. Claiming that it is man driven by CO2, of all possible choices, is

sheer lunacy. Dr. Patrick Moore co-founder of Greenpeace has recently given a speech to the London Institute of Mechanical Engineers is which he encourages us to celebrate CO2 rather than demonize it. Thank you again for illustrating the inconvenient truth.

CARBON from page Front legislation, according to staff. “I would be interested to see those funds going back into green technology,” Coun. Sam Waddington added at the meeting when the topic was selling the offsets. The methane flaring system was one of three projects at the landfill site totalling $3.5 million that were funded federally about three years ago. It was one of only nine B.C. communities to take advantage of

the funding under the gas tax revenues, and the methane-capturing at the landfill started in March 2014. The offsets will be “claimed, verified, and sold” resulting in a financial benefits for the city. Chilliwack now spends about about $100,000 annually to operate the landfill gas management system, and it managed to realize GHG emission reductions by capturing and flaring the methane gas produced through anaerobic degradation of waste. It will continue to accumulate offsets until

the system loses its “voluntary” status on January 1, 2016. About 1.4 million square metres of methane will have been captured and flared between March 6, 2014 and December 31, 2015, according to the staff report. This is equal to about 20,000 tonnes of GHG (CO2) equivalent. Coun. Jason Lum suggested selling the emission offsets, and in a second resolution, it was resolved by council to refer the matter back to staff, to look at reinvesting in “green initiatives.”

Winter camping more popular Urbanites seeking the perfect place to chill out in nature and escape the retail frenzy can soon book a winter campout at Porteau Cove Provincial Park.

BC Parks will offer winter reservations at the popular campground for the first time, citing growing demand for winter camping holidays. Sites will be reservable

for Dec. 18 to Jan. 3 as well as the Family Day long weekend Feb. 5-8. Porteau Cove has always been open yearround, but reservations will now offer more cer-

tainty to plan a winter trip. Campsites have electrical outlets so campers can plug in heating blankets or kettles to keep cozy and warm.

Building plans for Local Harvest The owners ended up being issued two fines of $500 each in the past two months, for operating without a business licence, as a result of code violations related to the modified barn structure they opened in two years ago. “The Local Harvest Market will continue to serve quality homegrown foods to this community despite continued political pressure and high fines,” Oostenbrink wrote. Their part-

ners including Anita’s Organic Mill, Magpie’s Baker y and Curly Kale Eater y will join them in the new building. A section 57 was also registered on title last summer because of the outstanding deficiencies. Council members said they did not want to be “punitive” but had to apply the rules equally to ask that the building come into compliance and obtain a business licence. They said they were concerned about setting precedent.

“We haven’t changed our tune and right from outset we’ve been transparent about what we were doing,” said Oostenbrink. They were hoping the city would not issue fines since they have taken steps to move toward coming into compliance, but they received notification of the second fine this week. “We’re at their mercy,” he said. “We hoping all the good things we’re doing will mean they’ll grant us a reprieve.”

Liquor stores eyed for possible pot sales POT SALES from page Front

Glass and Gifts chain of marijuana storefronts, said he’s not worried about liquor outlets wresting away the burgeoning business. “We are responsible,” he said. “We have many, many years of experience. They have none. If they want to jump on the bandwagon, you know what? It’s free enterprise. They can get in line behind the people who already have 20, 30 years in the industry.” He argued retail

sales of pot and booze should not happen in the same outlet. “Alcohol and cannabis do not mix,” Briere said. “People get whacked out enough as it is. You get a drunk person buying cannabis and they smoke that – it’s like mixing all your prescription pills and drinking.”

Asked if the new par tnership is an attempt to head off yet more pot stores springing up and gaining local government approval, Kettlewell said there’s no need to create a new government bureaucracy to govern pot sales. “There are some dry communities in B.C. that do not sell liquor,” Kettlewell said. “If there’s a municipality out there that does not want the sale of non-

medical marijuana in their community, we’d fully respect that.” He noted provincial rules currently require a minimum onekilometre separation between private liquor stores and he’d expect municipalities that permit recreational pot would in most cases apply zoning rules that could further restrict locations, potentially with minimum buffers from schools and parks.

B.C. aims for $15B in farm product revenues Black Press The B.C. Liberal government and opposition MLAs both want greater success for the province’s farmers, but they don’t see eye to eye on how to achieve it. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick released the government’s latest strategic growth plan Wednesday, raising the

The plan suggests that as climate change creates warmer conditions, B.C. may benefit even as tropical food production declines. The province also expects new trade deals with Korea and the European Union, and the

the two-zone ALR system is having on farmland, and he will report in the spring on the results of the new system. Despite the B.C. salmon farm industry being targeted for years by environmental campaigns against it, B.C.’s top export food product is cultured Atlantic salmon, followed by “food preparations for manufacturing,” blueberries, baked goods and crab. Farmed salmon is also the third most valuable product in total B.C. sales, after dairy and poultry products. Farmed salmon sales were $504 million, compared to $554 million for dairy and ahead of greenhouse and field vegetables, which had revenue of $449 million in the province’s latest figures. The B.C. government’s plan also includes “supporting international media missions to increase awareness of the B.C. aquaculture industry and increase demand for B.C. seafood products to key markets.” The province announced four new netpen salmon aquaculture tenures this past July, after federal permits were issued, then announced no more tenures will be granted until a review of application and approval procedures is completed.

pending Trans-Pacific Partnership, to increase farm and food product sales. Letnick said one strategy the government is pursuing to increase the amount of productive farmland in B.C. is to improve access to irrigation. An opposition agriculture committee chaired by NDP critic Lana Popham and independent Delta South MLA Vicki Huntingon released its own report Wednesday after a province-wide tour to consult farmers. Their report says the high cost of farmland is a major deterrent for new farmers to enter the industry. It calls for the establishment of a provincial trust to buy and preserve farmland for new B.C. farmers, as well as new rules to restrict sale of farmland to foreign buyers. Popham and Huntington said they heard criticism from farmers about the decision to divide the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones, with more nonfarm uses allowed in the Interior zone. They renewed their call for the government to return to one zone and hire more compliance staff to make sure farmland isn’t being inappropriately used. Letnick said it’s too early to tell what effect

Getting to know Desmond Devnich

Long-time student Alberta Rafferty (left) and Elder College coordinator Sharon Blaker visit “E” building of the North Campus of UFV (45635 Yale Rd), where Spring course registration will take place on Jan. 19. SAM BATES/ PROGRESS

Starting the new year with a commitment to learning Sam Bates The Progress Alberta Rafferty is a prime example of a lifelong learner. Born in 1923, she has 92 years of wisdom to her name. But she still thirsts for more. When Elder College first opened in 1999, 98 people enrolled in the then eight courses. Alberta, who signed up for three of those courses, was actually the fortunate individual who won a free membership. Even though that complimentary membership ran out in 2000, Alberta never stopped taking courses. “And she never takes just one at a time,” laughed Sharon Blaker, Elder College Coordinator. In the Fall 2015 semester that wrapped up a few weeks ago, Alberta had taken Understanding Political Terrorism and - her favourite class - Tapestry for Thought. She’s always favoured the thought provoking classes. As Sharon revealed some of the upcoming classes and speakers for the Spring semester,

Alberta’s signature catchphrase was, “Oh, that would be interesting!” That genuine interest in tackling new challenges and wrapping her head around complex ideas is true for most other Elder College students as well. “I think you just love learning,” Sharon said to Alberta. “You have a very inquiring mind.” “Well, I’d call it nosy,” Alberta retorted. Her passion for the school gathers from a few reasons. First, she loves that there are no exams. Second is the sociability of the college. Alberta got talking about the woman who she sat next to on the first day of Tapestry for Thought in 1999. The two of them had lunch together afterward, and they are still best friends today. That tends to happen regularly at Elder College. Sharon sees students gather in the cafeteria for a post-class coffee and conversation, and she herself has formed great friendships through classes that she’s taken. Lastly, and most importantly,

“it keeps your mind active,” Alberta stressed. She’s had an active mind all her life. She recalled stories of her time running the Royal Welcome service in Chilliwack, her awe-inspiring travels around the world, and her time as a clerk in the armed forces, where she found out that her name was not actually Alberta. “It was this other god-awful name that I cannot tell you,” she laughed. While she’s been known as Alberta all her life, which was the province where she grew up prior to moving to Chilliwack, her parents had never officially registered the name change. Alberta has taken upwards of 60 courses since 1999, and when asked if she plans to continue for years to come, she enthusiastically replied, “You betcha!” And there are some great classes lined up for the Spring semester. They have all new speakers for Tapestry for Thought, unique classes like Jazz Appreciation, Gardening, Improv and Conversational French, courses to help you understand your digital devic-

es, and active classes like Easy Hikes and Learn to Curl. Courses are taught by industry experts, many of whom are UFV professors or retired professionals. Now with more than 400 annual members and at least 24 courses per semester, the college has experienced significant growth over the years. But the goal of providing an exciting range of lifelong learning opportunities remains the same. Elder College courses are available to anyone who is aged 50 or older. Classes range from one to six sessions and in cost between $20 to $60. Membership costs $12 and lasts for a year. Spring Elder College registration takes place Tuesday, Jan. 19 from 1 to 7 p.m. at the UFV North Campus (45635 Yale Road) in Building E. Parking is free. Most classes will still be held at the Canada Education Park campus. For more information, call 604-702-2611 or visit them at www.ufv.ca/eldercollege or on Facebook.

When you get to know Desmond Devnich, you quickly realize that although he may not be old in years, he’s definitely an old soul. His outlook on life is rather mature and quite philosophical and his spirit of giving has clearly had a profound impact on those around him. There’s another thing that you quickly realize about Desmond; the fact that he is, without a doubt, a people person. “I was born in Lacombe, Alberta but my family moved to Rosedale when I was just three. My paternal grandparents had a hobby farm in Rosedale so we moved out here. I don’t remember anything Ana about Alberta. I consider Chilliwack my hometown MACEDO and the best thing about it is its people,” he beamed. While his father went into construction and his mother into the accounting industry, Desmond’s passion became service to others. “I was an average student but what I loved was the extra-curricular stuff. I loved organizing things and getting things going. Leadership classes were my favourite and this started back when I was in the eighth grade. I was very fortunate to have two very amazing teachers at Rosedale Middle; Terri McGovern and Terry Jensen. They inspired me to be a leader,” he enthused. When Desmond was 15, he moved to Abbotsford to attend the Fraser Valley Adventist Academy in Aldergrove. After graduation, he returned to Chilliwack and has been here ever since. “After high school, I knew that I wanted to go to university but I wasn’t quite sure of what I wanted to take. So, I signed up for classes at UFV that would lead to a basic Arts Degree. I’m still working on that,” he smiled. His extended family is rather musical and the same can certainly be said about Desmond. “In church, everyone had a role and for me that was the choir.” He studied for a time at the Chilliwack Academy of Music under the direction of Paula Quick. Here, he worked to perfect his vocal talents and today, is a much sought-after national anthem singer. “I do this for the Chiefs, the Huskers and the Giants,” he mentioned. His first job was at Starbucks. “I got to know people. I got to meet the movers and the shakers. I wasn’t just serving coffee. I had a chance to get to know people and what they were doing. That was my journey. I have had many mentors along the way,” he said. In 2008, Desmond realized that social media, if used for good, had a powerful ability to connect people, their ideas and their causes. He saw it as an opportunity to bring the community together.

Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin and has an incredible amount of followers. “If used for good, social media can be very effective,” he enthused. Eventually, his journey led him to a job with the Chilliwack Downtown BIA where he coordinated events like Party in the Park, Village Classic and Christmas in the City. “I believe that every one of us is richly blessed with talents and resources that can be used to better the lives of others.” He received the opportunity to become John Martin’s Constituency Assistant and left the BIA to pursue what would amount to a new phase of his career. In addition to his daytime job, he’s also a member of the ChilliwackFraser Rotary Club; he’s Vice-Chair of the Chilliwack Agricultural Society, is on the board of the Chilliwack Sports Hall of Fame, headed up the Terry Fox Run and assists with the Hospice Gala. “I feel very blessed to have jobs where I can give back to the community,” he said. Desmond admits that he needs to work on finding a bit more balance in his life but for now; he continues to be very involved in the community. He’s not a glory seeker, though, he’s an action taker. “I also get excited about things when others are excited about the same things that I’m passionate about. When we work together, that’s how positive things are built.”

The RCMP has made impaired driving an operational priority. Through a series of nationally coordinated impaired driving enforcement days, awareness campaigns and partner engagement the RCMP continues to work to stop alcohol and drug impaired drivers. Impaired driving is not limited to cars. Impaired driving also applies to all motor vehicles, including snowmobiles, all terrain vehicles (ATV), boats and even aircraft and railway equipment. If you are operating or in the care and control of any of the above (whether it is in motion or not) and you have consumed alcohol, a police officer may make a demand on you to provide a sample of your breath, at roadside, on an Approved Screening Device (ASD). After providing a breath sample the results of that test will determine what, if any, further actions are taken - tests, criminal charges, penalties, suspensions or prohibitions.

Home&Garden

The ‘Christmas Rose’ offers a special winter treat upright blossoms that are far larger and showier. Its tough shiny green foliage allows it to be brought indoors in a cool room for the Christmas season and then be planted out in mild weather after the holiday season. Today a whole new series of Brian fabulous varieties, like MINTER ‘Cinnamon Snow’, ‘Merlin’, ‘Platinum Rose’, ‘Monte Cristo’, ‘Shooting Star’, ‘Pink Frost’ and ‘Ivory Prince’, begin flowering through winter and into spring. ‘Snow Frills’ is my new ruffled favourite. Helleborus plants can be propagated from seed or from divisions; the latter is certainly the fastest way to achieve a blooming plant. Up until a few years ago, finding helleborus was difficult because they usually arrived bareroot from Holland and were exceedingly tough to re-root. With the growing interest, and with tissue culture and new seeding techniques, more perennial growers have begun producing them, and they are now quite plentiful. I would

t f i G

recommend that the home gardener purchase only wellestablished plants that have been grown in a container for at least one year. Helleborus niger, like many other winter-flowering plants, should be placed in a protected spot, next to a house, wall or in front of a protective barrier of evergreens, but always out of cold winter winds. The more protected their location, the earlier and longer they will bloom. They also prefer a semi-shaded site, but it is important that they receive some sun in winter. A location under deciduous trees is ideal, as long as the shade is not too dense. A cool, moist situation is preferred, and deep watering is essential during periods of drought. Any soil in your garden that produces good flowering plants will usually suit helleborus. Container-grown plants can be set out now, once the frost from our recent cold spell is out of the ground, especially in the Eastern Valley. It is wise to prepare a deep planting area because the roots must stretch down, not outward. It is also important to set the crowns of the plants just below the soil line. Good drainage is essential, as the fleshy roots

will not tolerate wet feet, however, they love ‘humusy’ conditions. I have found a mixture of peat, bark mulch and bone meal helpful in the development of new root growth. Once established, helleborus plants need little care. Although aphids can sometimes be a problem, few other insects bother them. Even slugs tend to shy away from their bitter leaves. They love to be fertilized, and a feeding of 10-15-19 fertilizer in early spring and

mid-summer is ideal to help develop a strong root system and plenty of flowers. You’ll find that most helleborus are rather slow growing perennials. It may take a year or two before they begin flowering in earnest. To get more plants, it is often tempting to divide smaller clumps in half, but you must be careful. No dividing should take place until the plants have at least a dozen or more strong leaves on a good sized clump. The larger the clump grows, the more bountiful

to you!

In old-fashioned gardens, Helleborus niger, or the ‘Christmas Rose’, was certainly one of the best known winter flowers, and in 2005 the whole helleborus family was chosen as the Perennial Plant of the Year. The earliest to flower, H. niger, is native to many parts of Europe, in particular to the sub-alpine woods of Austria and northern Italy, and many varieties are available, some hardy to -30°F. Helleborus niger is so named because its roots are black; the blossoms, however, are pure white. Depending upon the type of winter we have and the variety of helleborus, blooming can begin in December and continue well into late March. The Heuger Company, under the leadership of Josef Heuger, has bred fabulous earlier-blooming Christmas Roses that have glossy green leaves and offer superior garden performance. Their earliest to bloom are a large flowered creamy white with a light pink reverse called ‘Mahogany Snow’ and a pure white beauty called ‘Jonas’. I love their reddish stems and compact, uniform appearance. Next is H.n. ‘Jacob’. It too blooms about two weeks earlier than other varieties. It has strong stems and

Rookie makes the most of top-line posting Eric J. Welsh, The Progress

Just 36 games into his junior A career, rookie Kohen Olischefski is enjoying a plum assignment with the Chilliwack Chiefs. The 17 year old spent most of November on a line with Jordan Kawaguchi and Darien Craighead — the sort of died-and-gone-to-BCHLheaven scenario any freshman would dream of. “It started about seven or eight games ago when Vimal (Sukumaran) was out with an injury,” the Abbotsford native says. “It’s been a great opportunity and so far I think I’ve taken advantage of it.” While Olischefski doesn’t possess the video-game numbers his linemates do, he’s far from a passenger on the line. He feels he’s got a skill-set to complement them well. “I play with a fast pace and move the puck well,” he suggests. “I give it to those guys and they know how to score.”

“When they give the lamp five times and me the puck I like to collected 18 points in 27 use my speed, take the games. D-men wide and get Each shift of each going to the net.” game, he’s feeling more “When I do, they’re comfortable. always there, always “I guess I’m a little open and giving me surprised at how fast options.” I adapted to the play The natural tendency style,” he notes when for a rookie in this situ- asked what’s been ation might be to defer the most unexpected to more experienced thing about the last linemates. two months. “I Olischefski wasn’t expectsays he hasn’t ing to do as well changed what as I am right he does and has now.” listened to tips “I’m happy from the capthat I am though tain. and I’m hoping “You want to to keep it up.” give the puck to Olischefski Kohen those guys, but says he worked Gooch tells me OLISCHEFSKI his butt off in to not be afraid the summer preto shoot the paring for this puck,” he says. “Gooch year, and it’s paying off. doesn’t care if I shoot “I’ve worked hard to because he wants me keep a positive mindto score as much as he set, even when things does.” aren’t going my way,” Olischefski struggled he adds. “Not scoring in the early going this a goal for my first nine season, finding his way or 10 games was differagainst bigger and fast- ent, because I’m used to er foes. being the go-to guy and It took him nine scoring a bunch.” games to put the puck “That was a hard in the net, a jarring thing to get used to, but change for a teenager looking back it was a who scored at will in good thing.” every previous stop. If he ever starts feelSince bumping that ing too comfortable, he slump, Olischefski’s lit knows how head coach

Jason Tatarnic handles lines. He may start the next game with Kawaguchi and Craighead. But after the opening faceoff there are no guarantees. “Lines are only set for the start of the game and I don’t mind changing things up during the game,” the coach explains. “As far as expectations for Kohen, nothing changes from what we ask of our players every game. Control the only thing you can in a game and that’s your work ethic.” Olischefski finds himself on a team that’s rocketed up the BCHL standings, winning 12 of its last 13 games dating back to Oct. 21. They share the league’s second best win percentage (.722) with the Salmon Arm Silverbacks. Only the Penticton Vees have been better. “We’ve got such a tight group of guys who want to battle and win for each other,” Olischefski says. The Chiefs are getting national notice, listed 15th in the latest Canadian Junior Hockey League rankings.

“It’s cool to be recognized like that and it gives us motivation to keep winning games and stay up there,” he adds. This weekend finds them hosting the Coquitlam Express Friday (7 p.m.) and the Nanaimo Clippers Saturday (7:30 p.m.). The Chiefs saw the Express (12-12-1-3) less than a week ago, swatting them 6-3 at Prospera Centre. “We know they work hard and they’ve got skill up front and they’ll come at us,” Olischefski observes. “We’ve got to play like we did last Friday and hopefully we get the same result.” There’s history with the Clippers (18-10-01), who helped knock Chilliwack out of the third round of the playoffs last spring. Olischefski wasn’t a part of that, but the vets have made it clear it’s a big game. “We know they’re a team to beat and it’s two top teams and we’ll want to come out hard and beat them,” the rookie says. “I think we match up well. We’re both fast and skilled teams and it’ll come down to who wants it more.”

The Chilliwack Chiefs did what they needed to do in November, taking advantage of a friendly schedule to vault themselves into first place in the Mainland division. How friendly was it? Seven of nine games were on home ice and the two road games were played an hour away in Surrey against the last place Eagles. Two of the home games were against the second-to-last Prince George Spruce Kings. Even with the Christmas break, Chilliwack plays eight games this month starting with home games this weekend against Coquitlam and Nanaimo. The Coquitlam Express finish a bizarre three game stretch that saw them defeat Vernon at home Wednesday and travel all the way to PG Thursday. Saturday the Nanaimo Clippers are in town. Note the start time is 7:30 to accommodate Chilliwack’s Christmas parade. Efforts to move the game to the early afternoon were foiled by Nanaimo. The Chiefs will be without the services of five players Saturday night. Forwards Jordan Kawaguchi, Vimal Sukumaran and Kohen Olischefski along with defenceman Dennis Cholowski and goaltender Matteo Esposito will all be at Team West’s camp in preparation for the World Junior A Challenge in Ontario. Should any of them make the team they would remain away until after the Christmas break. With all these players absent the Chiefs will bring in four affiliates. Three players will join the Chiefs from the Yale Academy U-18 prep team. The group includes 16 year old forward Parm Dhaliwal, who ranks third in CSSHL scoring with 34 points in 22 games. We’ll also get our first look at defencemen Austin Chorney and Jordan Schulting. Chorney, at just 15 years of age is the top scoring defenceman in the league with eight goals and 12 assists in 23 games. Schulting is a 16 year old defenceman from Penticton who has seven goals and 10 assists in 23 games. Both Schulting and Dhaliwal are committed to the Chiefs for next season. Backing up Aidan Pelino will be 17 year old goaltender Gunnar Neilsen, who has a record of 9-2 with the Junior B PIJHL league leading Mission City Outlaws. A couple other games of note this month. On Dec. 13 the Chiefs host the Merritt Centennials. Game time is 5 p.m. and the Chiefs will host their annual Teddy Bear/Toque toss that night. When the Chiefs score their first goal, fans can toss a new stuffed animal or toque onto the ice which will then be donated to Chilliwack Community services. On Dec. 30, the Chiefs host the Langley Rivermen in their annual Fill the Rink for the Food Back game. Tickets are priced at just $6 with the donation of a non perishable food item. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Cascade women stumble into Christmas break

The Thompson Rivers WolfPack finished off a weekend sweep of the University of the Fraser Valley

women’s basketball team on Saturday evening, winning 80-59 in Kamloops. The Cascades and WolfPack battled back and forth for most of the first quarter, but things started going sideways for UFV towards the end of the frame. TRU bridged the first and second quarters with an 11-0 run, headlined by a pair of three-pointers from Emma Piggin, thus turning what had been a 12-11 Cascades lead

into a 22-12 WolfPack advantage. The hosts would never trail again – they led 42-25 at the break, and pushed the margin to 20 points late in the third quarter. Thompson Rivers (6-2) moved into second place in the Explorer Division by virtue of the win, while the fourthplace Cascades saw their record levelled at 4-4. “Just no push-back from us tonight at all,” analyzed UFV head

coach Al Tuchscherer, whose team had dropped a 67-62 decision to the WolfPack on Friday. “TRU played well, there’s no doubt about it. But when you play good teams, they’re going to play well, and the idea is that you play well. . . . You can’t be surprised by that, you can’t be deflated by that. And we were. We’ve got to figure that out.” Rookie for ward Taylor Claggett was a bright spot for the

Cascades – she poured in a career-high 20 points and added nine rebounds and four assists. Conference scoring leader Kayli Sartori posted a similarly well-rounded stat line with 14 points, seven boards and three assists, but she and Claggett were the only Cascades to hit at least half their shots from the field – UFV shot 35.6 per cent as a team, including 4-of-25 from three-point range. Thompson Rivers

shot 42 per cent from the field, highlighted by 12 three-pointers, and turned the ball over just 14 times compared to 22 for the Cascades. “Taylor battled hard tonight, and that was positive,” Tuchscherer said. “We intentionally looked for her more tonight – we liked that match-up, and she got the job done. We need more effort like that.” ● The Cascades have nearly a month off before returning to

action. The team will travel to Santa Barbara, CA in late December. On the 29th they’ll tip off against The Master’s College Mustangs, a National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) school. On the 30th they face another NAIA program, the Westmont College Warriors. The Cascades resume CIS action Jan. 8-9 hosting the Mount Royal Cougars. See ufvcascades.ca for more.

OBITUARIES

VANDERENDE Lorna Evelina Nanette It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Lorna Evelina Nanette VanderEnde on November 16, 2015 with her family by her side. She was born in Vancouver, BC on September 30, 1957. She is survived by her mother Marie Dinicola, her siblings, her long time partner and husband Wes Fullerton, her daughter Jennifer Palmer, her son-in-law John Palmer, her grandchildren Madelyn Palmer and Leah Palmer, her son Rob VanderEnde and her loving Bradley family.

She was extremely passionate about horses and loved her garden and flowers. She devoted time to her grandchildren. Loved any animal especially her budgie Bard and was always on the hunt for the best “treasure” whether it be a fancy rock on her walks or something special for her granddaughters. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Greener Pastures horse rescue. http://www.greener-pastures.ca/ There will be no service by request.

Burns, Marilyn Marilyn Dorothy Burns (nee Morrison) was born in Vancouver General Hospital on November 20, 1952. She passed away in Chilliwack on November 17, 2015. She is survived by her two sons, Jared and Brendan Burns, sisters Sheila Pope (Jack), Evlyn Morrison (Jeff), Kamala Morrison Fairbairn (Don), brother John Morrison (Laura) and mother Frances Morrison. She is predeceased by her father Dr. Robert Morrison. Marlie lived in Hope B.C. throughout her childhood. After graduating from Hope Secondary School in 1970 she enrolled at Capilano College, then proceeded to complete a medical stenography course at VVI (1973-1974). Her first job as a medical stenographer was at VGH UBC, working in the Department of Urology from 1974 -1976. On July 16, 1977 Marlie was married to Gordon Burns in the Hope United Church in a beautiful traditional RCMP red serge ceremony. Their first son, Jared Gordon Burns, was born in April 1980. A second son, Brendan Robert Burns, arrived in March 1983. The couple purchased two hobby farms: one in Prince George in 1978 and a second in Cranbrook in 1980. The family became avid hobby farmers, and, over the course of the next ten years, enjoyed learning a range of skills needed to raise and train a variety of different animals. Marlie worked full time as a medical stenographer in three general hospitals: Winnipeg, Prince George and Cranbrook. She also worked for 11 years as a medical stenographer and receptionist for a medical equipment company in Kamloops. Marlie cultivated a great number of hobbies. She loved to read, cook, garden, preserve her produce, play the piano, sing in choirs, listen to Elvis Presley and connect with family and friends on the phone. Marlie never once forgot anyone’s birthday or anniversary. She took pride in her memory and was diligent in her ability to remember past events. She enjoyed playing Beethoven’s, “Moonlight Sonata”, a favorite of her mothers father (W.B.H. Teakles). “Auntie Marlie” will be dearly missed by all: in particular by her mother, her sons, her sisters, brother, nieces and nephews and also by her great niece and nephew. She had a very generous, kind, and loving personality and will be fondly remembered for the unconditional love she brought to all. A celebration of Marlie’s life will be held at the Hope United Church, December 5th at 2:00 PM. There will be a reception to follow afterwards in the Hope United Church Hall. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Alexander Victor Vic Padgham, 97, of Chilliwack BC passed away, Friday, November 27, 2015 at Valleyhaven Retirement Community Ltd. A private celebration of his life was held at The Salvation Army Chilliwack Community Church with Angus Haggarty officiating. Vic was born 29 December 1917 outside Biggar, Saskatchewan. He married Fanny Wright on 28 September 1939 in Copeau Saskatchewan. Recently, they celebrated their 76th wedding anniversary.

A Very Special Delivery

Vic joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in December 1942. He served as a flying officer/Flight Engineer in Canada and the United Kingdom until August 1945. His plane was shot down over enemy territory and he spent time in a German war camp. He was awarded numerous medals for his bravery during the war.

Our Babies of 2015 is almost here! Due date: Friday, January 8, 2016

Vic pursued a variety of jobs including diamond drilling, gas inspector, and he was the original founding business partner at Century Plumbing, Heating and Hardware Limited in Chilliwack.

For only $27.30 (incl. tax) you can be part of this section. Submit a favourite photo of your son or daughter, grandchild, niece or nephew born in 2015.

Vic Padgham served his country, his community and his family. During his lifetime Vic was a decorated RCAF officer, a councillor for City of Chilliwack, a member of the Cultus Lake Park Board, the Chilliwack Legion, the Chilliwack Curling Club, the Chilliwack and District Hockey Association, and the Chilliwack Rotary Club. He was an avid sportsperson, coach, and gardener.

A perfect keepsake!

Vic Padgham dedicated his life to his wife Fanny, his children, his grandchildren and his great grandchildren. Everyone who knew Vic would agree that he lived a good life and enriched the lives of everyone he came in touch with.
