‘Renewed relationship’ welcomed by Sto:lo leaders Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is calling for nothing less than a total renewal of the relationship between Canada and First Nations. “I will be your partner,” the PM told First Nations leadership at the Assembly of First Nations annual meeting in Gatineau Tuesday morning. And that was refreshing to the ears of local Sto:lo leaders, such as Doug Kelly, Clem Seymour, and Ernie Crey, who all said they have waited for this moment for a very long time. Grand Chief Doug Kelly and Chief Seymour were in Gatineau, QC this week to hear the PM’s speech, and attend AFN meetings. “It was like a real breath of fresh air,” said Seabird Chief Clem Seymour about the speech to The Progress. “Sitting down and making education a priority, well that is the number one priority for us, the health of our people is number two, and the inquiry into missing and murdered women is number three.” In terms of the MMIW inquiry, Seymour said, “the people want to know.” Grand Chief Doug Kelly, who is chair of the Sto:lo Tribal Council, and First Nations Health Council, said the impact of the PM’s words was “to restore the dignity of First Nations peoples.” Trudeau was hailed for saying that he simply couldn’t do the work alone, and asked directly for help of FN. “He offered to partner with us in the work of creating healthy, self-determining, independent First Nations communities and governments.

Drenching rain, and a deliberate act of vandalism couldn’t dampen spirits Saturday evening as residents lined the streets for the annual Rotary Santa Claus Parade. GREG KNILL/ PROGRESS

Fire and rain can’t spoil Christmas parade Sam Bates The Progress Despite the rain, the Rotary Christmas Parade brought thousands to the streets of downtown Chilliwack in the evening of Saturday, Dec. 5. The route was packed as the floats made their way through the downtown core one by one. But Santa almost didn’t make it to the show. Shortly after 2 a.m on Dec. 5, AJ Hutchinson posted a photo to a Chilliwack Facebook group of a float in flames, with the caption, “Put out a fire tonight on my way home. Why would someone light the Santa float for the Christmas

Parade on fire the night before the parade? Not so nice…” In a conversation with The Progress, Hutchinson said that he was on his way home when he saw something burning in the back parking lot of Chilliwack Secondary School (CSS). According to CSS teacher and float designer Steve Anderson, students had been building Santa’s float on Friday evening, finishing up around 11 p.m. They then unplugged everything, stowed the generator and headed home, with the expectation that they were ready for the parade the following day. When Hutchinson and his friends realized what was burn-

ing, they “took immediate action” to put it out. They started pulling off pieces of cotton ‘snow’ and stomped out the flames. “[We] had to put the fire out,” Hutchinson said. “Couldn’t have that many children disappointed at the parade.” Hutchinson’s friend called 911 to report the fire while he continued to stomp out remaining flames. Fortunately, the fire was put out while it was still relatively small, so it was mostly contained to the back of the float. Assistant Chief of the Chilliwack Fire Department, Fire Prevention Mike Bourdon said that crews were called to the scene to assess

the damage. “Someone had maybe lit the cotton as they walked by,” Bourdon said. “There was no damage to the vehicle.” But there was still a lot of repair work to be done on the float. Around 8 a.m. on Saturday, Anderson saw a plethora of texts and phone calls from students and friends telling him what they had seen and read on Facebook. By 8:30 a.m., Anderson was at the scene checking out the damage. “It was burnt,” he said. “In effect, all the Christmas lights from a quarter of the way back [on the truck] and all the Continued: PARADE/ p4

RCMP ramp up Counter Attack for the holidays The Chilliwack RCMP hope the fate of a local man serves as a cautionary tale about drinking and driving. A 23 year old is in hot water after being arrested Dec. 2. Around 10:30 p.m., police responded to reports of a pickup truck weaving along Prest Road near Prairie Central Road. The truck was pulled over on the freeway near Evans Road, and police say the driver showed signs of intoxication. The unnamed man will likely face several charges related to impaired driving. “The danger posed on our roadways by impaired drivers is taken seriously by police throughout

the year,” said RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail. “Police Counter Attack check stops to prevent impaired driving over the festive season began on Dec. 4, however, the public and patrolling officers are watching our roads all of the time.” Last week was National Safe Driving Week, and Dec. 4 was National Impaired Driving Awareness and Enforcement Day. Supported by Fraser Valley Traffic Services and volunteers from Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), local officers set up at the Vedder Road overpass. In one night they checked 229 vehicles, issuing one 24-hour and one three-day driving prohibition for alcohol-related offences. They

issued eight tickets for speeding. MADD volunteers and Rudy the Reindeer from Operation Red Nose handed out pamphlets. “Fortunately there were no fatalities resulting from motor vehicle crashes during the month of December in 2014,” said RCMP Cpl. Lee Dyson. “The Christmas season is a time for parties and celebration. Police encourage those who choose to consume alcohol while enjoying the holiday season to plan for a safe means of transit to get home.” The police offer tips to achieve that goal. · Organize a designated driver program with family and friends. · Discuss a plan with your fam-

ily that, should you need a ride; they will provide it-no questions asked and remember to return the favour. • Plan ahead to take public transit or a taxi. • Stay overnight. • Stay sober yourself, and provide safe transportation for your friends. Operation Red Nose provides another safe option for getting home safely from a party. Operation Red Nose can be called on Fridays and Saturdays after 9:00 p.m. during the month of December at 604-393-3000. See operationrednose.com for more info. “Police will have heightened

Scenario training offers real-life experience Greg Knill The Progress It takes more than courage to enter a burning building. It takes science. And understanding that science is what a group of Chilliwack firefighters was doing in east Chilliwack on Friday. They were taking part in a series of training exercises as they integrate into the department as full time staff. As smoke billowed from the abandoned bungalow on Annis Road, firefighters planned their attack. Their strategy was backed up by years of experience by incident commanders, and the evolving study of fire behaviour. “There’s a lot of thought and science behind it,” says Assistant Fire Chief Andy Brown. “It’s not just bashing down the door and racing in there.” The exercise on Friday was “a live burn.” The goal was to enter the building, conduct a search, and retrieve any possible victims – all while the house continued to burn. “It can be quite a daunting task when you enter a burning house for the first time,” says Brown. Doing it safely is the product of training, analysis and understanding. “When we enter a burning building,” says Brown, “we are taking a calculated risk.” Minimizing that risk is the first priority. Often witnesses who watch firefighters arrive on scene are surprised by the methodical and unhurried approach they take, Brown admits. And when flames erupt through a window or a roof, it is easy to think the fire is out of hand. In fact, firefighters are attempting to make the blaze do what they want. If there is fire and heat on the inside, one of the first steps is to lead it to the outside. Smoke, meanwhile, is not only blinding, it’s deadly – particularly in newer homes were much of the furnishings are made from plastics, glues and chemicals. Exercises like the one on Friday show firefighters how to “chase” the smoke from a building, giving them time to locate

potential victims and move them to safety. While the classroom is where a lot of the discussion about fire behaviour takes place, it can’t replace the real-life experience of entering a burning home for the first time. That’s why exercises like the one conducted on Friday are so important. Eventually, Brown says, the department will have its own training facility were it can better conduct live-fire scenarios.

Chilliwack firefighters conduct a ‘small room and content’ fire scenario at an abandoned home on Annis Road Friday. The firefighters, including five new recruits, completed several training exercises – before posing for a class photo. GREG KNILL/ PROGRESS

The training continues this week for the new firefighters. They’ll be working on vehicle crash scenarios and victim extraction.

Meanwhile, training for a group of new paid on-call firefighters just got under way. Their training – 140 hours in total – wraps up in March.

traffic enforcement throughout the Holiday Season. Don’t risk getting behind the wheel after drinking,” Rail said. “Help keep our roads safe for everyone over the holidays.”

Plan ahead, police say.

Teachers get time for new curriculum

Chilliwack students will have two fewer days of school to attend this year as the district prepares for sweeping curriculum changes being introduced this year and next. District trustees have agreed to add the additional professional development days to give teachers more time to learn how to best apply the program changes. That brings the total number of non-instructional days in the district to eight, providing a total of 175 instructional days in the 2015-2016 school year. The two additional Pro-D days in Chilliwack will fall on Monday, Feb. 22, and Monday, April 25. The additional time was agreed to by the province and the British Columbia Teachers’ Federation when changes to the curriculum were first announced back in September. Some of those changes are already occurring. The new curriculum for Kindergarten to Grade 9 is being piloted in parts of the province this year, with full implementation coming in September of 2016. Program changes for the higher grades will be piloted next year before becoming mandatory in 2017. In a letter to parents, Chilliwack school superintendent Evelyn Novak said the district is excited about the changes. “Transformation in curriculum will help teachers create learning environments that are both engaging and personalized for students,” she said. “Chilliwack has been actively exploring the new curriculum framework and has made tremendous progress in its understanding. The district is looking forward to implementing this new curriculum in the coming years,” Novak said.

Support strong for parade upwards of 30 people helping out with the repairs, and bringing plenty of coffee and doughnuts to fuel the efforts. They stripped down the wood, brought in all new ‘snow,’ and chicken wire to hold it in place, and rebuilt the deck wiring system. They had the float all fixed up and put back together just in time to drive it over to the parade, around 4 p.m. “I’m always amazed at how people can take a possible tragedy, in some sense, and make it a success through sheer generosity,” Cauchi said. As for the cause, Anderson is sure that “it was set.”

Power and extension cords were burned.” “Luckily, the truck trailer didn’t catch fire.” Anderson, with the help from students past and present, quickly began the repair. They put out the word through social media and the radio for help. “Community support is never a challenge with the parade,” parade coordinator Raymond Cauchi said. This incident was one where the community exemplified the spirit of giving. By mid-day, there were

“There was no power on the truck,” he said. And they had never had an issue building the float in the 16 years prior. Ultimately, “what someone had tried to do to screw it up, actually turned into a great community effort to come together to fix it,” Anderson said. With the quick action from the community, Santa and all his reindeer made it to the parade on time. As he prepared to phone the winners, Cauchi commended all of this year’s floats, which were “super creative” and “amazingly beautiful.” Visit this story online for the list of winners.

“That’s what took place today, and that’s why there was so much positive energy and good will in the room as a result.” Grand Chief Kelly couldn’t help but think of past leadership’s struggles, as he listened to the speech, hearing firm pledges about education, the reconciliation recommendations, or lifting the two per cent funding cap. “I was mindful of all of our past leaders who have been fighting and advocating for real change in these areas. “I was thinking about leaders like Richard Malloway, Sam Douglas, Norm Francis, Joe Gabriel, and Archie Charles, who worked hard to provide a better world for their people, who would have had tears of joy just from hearing that speech.” Kelly said he was too young to have experienced the first wave of Trudeaumania from the PM’s father, Pierre Elliot Trudeau, but the energy in the air for PM Justin Trudeau was electric. “Being part of the crowd, the vibration of that energy is contagious. We were so excited by what he said.” The PM’s pledge for an inquiry into MMIW got a standing ovation and thunderous applause. It was also clear to Grand Chief Kelly that Trudeau had done his homework. “This is not coming out of the blue, he travelled extensively in the lead-up to becoming the leader of the Federal Liberals to meet with First Nations leaders and communities, and after, that he understood the issues,” said Kelly. “He listened, he understood, and is now ready to take action.” The inquiry is one example. “He just didn’t talk about it, he is moving to fulfill several of those promises. It’s been a beautiful day,” said Grand Chief Kelly. Newly elected Cheam Chief Ernie Crey called it a “welcome change,” to hear about PM Trudeau’s approach and that of his cabinet. “It’s like night and day to the way it used to be.” Chief Crey described years under the Harper government as “sitting in a dark, dank room with the drapes closed. “We didn’t know what it could be like until someone came along and threw open the doors and windows. “Suddenly it’s bright in here, and there’s lots of fresh air. It’s just that dramatic in my mind.” Crey is optimistic now that an inquiry will definitely proceed, a cause he has fought for relentlessly. “I am delighted an inquiry is going ahead, and the Sto:lo people will help government shape that inquiry, will give them advice and participate all the way through. We’re on-board,” said Crey.

First they target the major arterial and collector roads, hillsides and other collectors. Third priority are other roads on the valley floor. Last priority is always residential roads. Another change had to do with temporary suspension of snow removal services, “should weather conditions be so severe that” equipment can’t be operated. The new part is that city officials may suspend service from roads where weather or road conditions have deteriorated beyond the capabilities of the equipment, such as in the case of heavily drifting snow.

The priority one route on Promontory used to run east to west but now it will loop around the hillside community. “It will allow the snow plow equipment to clear and loop around Promontor y, giving access to a cleared road much sooner,” he said. The snow and ice control policy places a priority rating on all Chilliwack roads from 1 to 4, since they don’t have the manpower or equipment to clear the more than 500 km of Chilliwack roads in a timely manner.

Jenny and pick up a few things, Brent displayed the now eight various Christmas designs that they carry, which range from crude to cute. “Coming up with the sweater ideas and the names is fun,” Brent said. “And the ideas come from things that dogs do.”

The ‘Time for Treats’ design, which Brent and Jenny were wearing, shows a dog chasing after a gingerbread man that he’s already taken a bit out of. ‘Turdogen’ shows a dog with its head inside of a turkey. They even have sweaters for those misbehaving dogs who pee on the family Christmas tree. Their various themes, colours and sizes appeal to a broad range of customers. They also produce Easter options for April, and are considering Thanksgiving and Halloween sweaters in the future. Clearly, the trend is catching on. Funky Tails is getting international exposure, including a CBC News television bit. The adult sweaters are available in size S to XXL for $49.99, and the $19.99 dog sweaters range from XS to XXXL to fit every breed. Check them out online at funkytails.com or visit them at Jenny’s Pet Food at 9369 Mill Street.

Matching ugly sweaters for you and your dog Jenny the pug from Jenny’s Pet Food on Mill Street is quickly becoming a media sensation. Owners - of Jenny and the pet store - Brent and Connie Poulton have come up with a brilliant idea to fill a gap in the pet apparel market: ugly Christmas sweaters for dogs. “There’s a lot of Christmas stuff for dogs,” Poulton explained, as he pointed out the Santa outfits and Christmas toys that he carries in Jenny’s Pet Food. But there weren’t any Christmas sweaters for our canine friends. As the ugly Christmas sweater trend has grown exponentially over the past several years, Brent realized that “we could do that for dogs!” So he and Connie started to sketch out some potential sweater designs, each with funny or adorable dog-themes to them. And they quickly decided that they had to make matching ones for people, too. “It was kind of a no-brainer,” Brent said. Last year, they started the sweater company Funky Tails on a small scale, with just five designs. “We didn’t want to risk too much and have it completely fail,” Brent laughed. They sent their sketches to a graphic designer and then had the sweaters produced in various sizes for dogs and their human owners. Brent split his time between running the store and travelling around presenting the sweaters to retailers, and he soon realized that people either get the ugly Christmas sweater trend right away, or not at all. “There was no ‘maybe’ middle ground,” Brent recalled. Retailers either said an immediate “Yes!” or a puzzled, “I don’t think so.” Roughly 35 retailers jumping on board to sell the Funky Tails Christmas sweaters in 2014, and this year that

R AESIDE

December is well upon us, which means Chilliwack is already two weeks into the Christmas party season. And it’s only going to get busier. Of course it should go without saying, but somehow, it never does. Don’t drink and drive. It’s a pretty simple, straight forward message, and not one that is all that difficult to abide by. But of course, not everybody will. And police will no doubt hear the usual litany of worn-out excuses as they set up seasonal checkstops each weekend from now until the New Year. (See story, page 3.) The truth is, there is no valid excuse for getting behind the wheel when you’ve been drinking. If you’re too frugal to take a taxi, get a group together and rent a limo. Or if you can find a friend who’s willing to take one for the team, designate them to be your driver. (But be sure to buy them something nice as a thank you — it’s the season of giving, after all). Then there’s what we consider the obvious solution: book a ride with Operation Red Nose. The whole reason for teams of volunteers to be out on the roads until the wee hours of the morning every weekend is to keep drinking drivers off them and, in the process, keep everyone else that much safer. You get a ride home and, as an added bonus, your vehicle comes with you, so there’s no need to wander around in a haze the next morning, trying to figure out where you might have left it. It’s hard to believe that with all the available alternatives, people still choose to drink and get behind the wheel. But they do, and ICBC has the sobering statistics to prove it. During the month of December, an average of four people are killed in impaired related crashes every year in B.C. and, on average, 23 people are killed in crashes involving impaired driving in the Lower Mainland every year. Those numbers are as unimpressive as they are unnecessary. ~ Black Press

B.C. V IEWS

Business not as usual on B.C. farmland VICTORIA – Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick has released the latest update to the B.C. Liberal government’s “strategic growth plan” for farm and food products. After reporting a record $12.3 billion in total agriculture and agri-food sales in B.C. for 2014, the latest plan sets a new goal of increasing it to $15 billion by 2020. It’s a mostly a status quo plan, continuing current marketing efforts and encouraging highervalue production of a wider range of products. The ministry intends to hire its first expert in food and beverage production. It’s a reflection of the fact that fully 70 per cent of that $12.3 billion comes from food and beverage processing. This continues the government’s push to improve economic viability of farms by allowing more food product manufacturing and sales

on Agricultural Land Reserve property. Letnick says another key strategy is to improve access to irrigation. B.C. has 20,000 farm operations, a number that’s holding steady even as the average age of farmers increases. Opposition MLAs formed Tom their own agriculFLETCHER ture committee to tour the province over the past year, chaired by NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham and independent Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington. Their report speaks to some of the issues not discussed by the government. One of those is foreign purchase of farmland, a matter subject to regulation in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba but

not B.C. Properties have also been purchased to grow hay for export to Asia, and Huntington says she continues to hear of costly farmland in Delta and Surrey being bought at prices long-established farm families can’t afford. We’ve seen a British food and drug conglomerate buy up B.C. Interior farms to plant trees for carbon offsets, a project that was wound down after local protests. Popham and Huntington are calling for a systematic inventory of foreign purchases, to determine if regulation is needed here as climate change shifts growing patterns. Popham argues that with California enduring years of drought, B.C. can’t continue to depend on imports for more than half its food. “We have countries that are actively seeking food producing land, because their countries

The Chilliwack

Progress

are having difficulties producing under drought conditions,” Popham said. “So before we know it, our farmland could be bought up by other countries that are actively and smartly trying to ensure their own food security.” Neither Letnick nor the opposition MLAs could produce results from the government’s decision to split the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones, with more latitude for non-farm activities outside the southwest and Okanagan. But we’re starting to see signs of the new system of regional Agricultural Land Commission panels working with local governments. The Langley Times reports that the Township of Langley quietly signed a deal with the ALC in July to allow development of farmland near the Aldergrove border crossing and Langley airport. The agreement says there is a need for a “defensible and durable

urban/ALR edge.” If you think everyone loves farming, you’ve likely never lived on this “urban/ ALR edge.” The latest example is on Vancouver Island, where urban neighbours are protesting an established farmer’s decision to clear a forested property for hay growing. The farmer has been forced to erect a chain-link fence to keep out trespassers who have decided the property is a park that they can use when they like. The mayors of Saanich and View Royal seem more concerned with appeasing urban complainers than protecting the right to farm. They are being pressed to buy up idle ALR land to soothe urban voters repelled by logging and farming. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Climate objections don’t make sense Re: “No need to demonize carbon,” by Gert Vande Bunte, Chilliwack Progress, Dec 4. It is difficult to understand the local opposition to action on climate change. In broad terms, the sun’s radiant energy has accumulated over billions of years through animals and vegetation on Earth, and has been stored in oil deposits near the surface. Surely it

makes rough sense that if a significant fraction of this energy is released over a short time-span (even a couple hundred years), then some catastrophic heating effects could be expected. The details of the expected effects are of course a subject worthy of serious debate. However, objections to dealing with climate change seem to originate in a more “leave Nature alone”

stance. If the objections to interference with “natural processes” are based on Biblical statements, then it should be noted that the people who wrote Scripture, wise though they have been, would not have had any inkling of the relation between the sun’s energy, and oil deposits. Don Buker Rosedale

Chilliwack congratulated for Bailey plan I believe kudos are in order for Chilliwack council in regards to their method of greenhouse gas emission’s reduction at the Bailey Landfill. This method of reducing greenhouse gases as well as creating a revenue source, really shows great ingenuity, not only in reducing their carbon

footprint, but also in taking the pressure off of beleaguered taxpayers. It’s imperative in this day and age that we all do our parts in reducing greenhouse gas, and lower escalating property taxes. Ever increasing taxes are just not sustainable, nor can we afford not to lower amounts of carbon

emissions, which, if left unchecked will eventually push our average temperature above 2 degrees from baseline, and eventually lead to catastrophic climate change. If all municipalities used the Chilliwack system as a model, and we combined this system with a Fee and

Dividend carbo tax, we could multiply the positive effect of lower taxes and reducing carbon emissions to sustainable levels. It’s very heartening to see a community like Chilliwack take the lead in these roles. Congratulations, Chilliwack. Art Green, Hope

Fitness staff apologize to clients The staff from the ladies fitness gym on Yale Road West in Chilliwack that closed on Sunday, Nov. 29 would like to have the opportunity to apologize to the members. We were not given any notice to pass onto our members. We are all very disappointed that the members and the employ-

ees were not treated with respect. If it had not been for a concerned member who messaged one of us the evening of Sunday, Nov. 29 to find out if the gym was getting new equipment or if the equipment was being stolen, we would have been there on Monday morning with you

to find nothing but a note on the door. We would also like to wish the members and their families a safe and happy holiday season and look forward to seeing you in the community.

When a First Nations heritage site sits on land slated for development, it usually results in a tense standoff. But a dispute over a Sumas First Nation ancestral cemetery in Abbotsford has put a business developer and Aboriginal groups from across the province firmly on the same side. After a year with no response from the province, First Nations leaders from across B.C. met at an east Abbotsford lot, owned by Corpus Management Group, to push for Heritage Conservation Act recognition of the burial site underfoot. They were joined by John Glazema, Corpusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; director, who joined the dignitaries in donning a draped blanket â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a mark of respect. The cultural significance of the Sumas

It is difĂ&#x20AC;cult to believe that another year is about to be wrapped up, where does the time go? It has been a very busy year for the Mount Cheam Lions Club. Our day to day projects continue on as we continue to look at new opportunities to serve our community. One of our meetings and our monthly Spaghetti supper are cancelled for December but we will be back in full swing in January. December is Family Membership month in our Lions Association. Our Lions Club has 20 members who are Family Members. Generally is it husband & wife but we have other family combinations as well. Having your spouse in the same Lions Club means you get to serve together on projects if you wish and at times serve with others on different service projects. One of the things our particular Lions Club is known for is supporting each other and having fun on our projects. Our recent Spaghetti Supper was another example of members pitching in on a project and having fun at the same time. About 15 people worked on various stages of the dinner where members of the public had an opportunity to come out and support a project that contributes to our annual bursaries. If you are new to town and would like to make a difference in the community while getting to know people give me a call. Did you know that Lions Clubs International has had a relationship with the United Nations going back to the inception of the UN? Once a year there is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lions Day at the UN where Lions from all over the world meet with UN Diplomats and key representatives to discuss humanitarian challenges in the world. The next Lions Day at the UN is March 12 2016 when more than 500 Lions are expected to attend. As the year winds down to a close the Mt Cheam Lions Club wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2016. In January our programs will resume with the Ă&#x20AC;rst Seniors program on Tuesday January 5th, Thursday January 7th and our Spaghetti Supper on January 29th. Until next month, remember that where Club News brought to you by: there is a need there is a Lion. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Allan Hunt a member of the Mt Cheam Lions Johns Electronics Ltd. Club. 604-847-9977

Mountain location â&#x20AC;&#x201C; understood to be an ancestral cemetery associated with a devastating 1782 smallpox epidemic â&#x20AC;&#x201C; caused the City of Abbotsford to reject the $40 million â&#x20AC;&#x153;agri-mallâ&#x20AC;? business proposed there by Corpus last November. But without provincial recognition of the site under the Heritage Conservation Act, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no recourse for the company to receive compensation for the land thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s now known to be undevelopable. On Friday, Sumas First Nation Chief Dalton Silver gathered with some of B.C.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top aboriginal leaders at the site, with all urging provincial action. In attendance were Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs, Regional Chief Shane Gottfriedson of the British Columbia Assembly of First Nations, Robert Phillips of the First Nations Leadership Council, Ray Harris of the First Nations Summit and Chief David Jimmie of the StĂł:lo Nation.

Glazema agrees â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d known its history, Corpus would never have bought the land or proposed a business development there. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to respect their cultural significance, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no different from how weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d want our cultural significance respected,â&#x20AC;? he said. Dave Schaepe, an archaeologist working for the StĂł:lo Research and Resource Management Centre, believes the province is reluctant to grant the site recognition. Although the location is understood to be a culturally significant burial site, the presence of physical remains has not been confirmed and may not be confirmable given how old the cemetery is. In archaeology, this is known as an â&#x20AC;&#x153;intangibleâ&#x20AC;? site, and Schaepe suspects the province may be worried that granting such a site recognition could set a precedent for many other similar sites on Crown land. Silver and Glazema arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just hoping for a recognition in this one case â&#x20AC;&#x201D; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to see the province set up a fund for others encountering similar situations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s coming up in a lot of other districts around the province and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that needs to be dealt with,â&#x20AC;? said Silver.

The Sumas First Nation and Corpus petitioned the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations to designate a portion of the land as a Provincial Heritage Site under the Heritage Conservation Act in December of 2014. Since then, they havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heard anything back. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re hoping that we can get together with the government and move things forward to the satisfaction of everybody,â&#x20AC;? said Silver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We feel completely abandoned,â&#x20AC;? said Glazema. They hope bringing in provincial-level aboriginal voices, and asking the B.C. ombudsperson to intervene, will get them results. Silver says heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s had to inform two previous landowners about the landâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s importance to his people. Oral histories from local First Nations elders describe the site, once on the shore of the now-drained Sumas Lake, as the burial place of a SemĂĄ:th tribal village which was nearly wiped out by a wave of smallpox that arrived ahead of European contact. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s concerned there are no regulations currently in place to ensure land buyers know about sites of this nature.

Ford Mountain latest to join program for high-risk offenders It is aimed at helping high-risk offenders avoid reoffending once they’re released from prison. The answer may be in the rollout of a new supportive program, Integrated Offender Management, now in place in six facilities across B.C., according to an announcement last week. The latest, Ford Mountain Correctional Centre, on Chilliwack Lake Road, went operational on Dec. 1. “By providing the basic necessities while helping inmates to prepare for release to the community, we’re ultimately supporting long- term change in behaviour,” said Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness, who is also Parliamentary Secretary for Corrections. He’s been impressed with

what he has seen with this program, which started with a pilot project in 2006. The goal is helping offenders to live “crime-free” after their release by assisting with living arrangements, job opportunities and other supports. “Given the high-risk focus of this intensive approach and the success that studies have quantified, the public safety benefits are clear and significant,” he said in a release. Promoting stability and avoiding known “triggers” of past crimes is the key. The numbers so far look promising. It can reduce reoffending behaviour by up to 49 per cent for women and 43 per cent for men. For participants, IOM’s

benefits include a greater sense of accountability and independence, and more self-esteem. “Being tough on crime includes taking steps to curb the underlying behaviours that fuel it,” said B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton. “The helping hands that the Integrated Of fender Management program offers are proven to promote safer communities. “When these people complete their in-custody sentence and move on to probation, having access to some of the necessities that most of us take for granted plus supports that address their offending patterns - can mean the difference between successful reintegration and a return to custody.”

B.C. blames feds for DNA cost shift Jeff Nagel Black Press B.C. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton says municipalities worried about a requirement that they start to pay part of the cost of police DNA testing should take their complaints to the federal government. The Union of B.C. Municipalities has urged its member cities and towns, which must pay a combined $2.9 million in new charges next year, to protest what it called a provin-

cial decision. “Not only does this create additional pressure on local finances, the decision flies in the face of the ‘One Taxpayer’ principle so often invoked by the provincial government,” UBCM president Al Richmond said in a letter to the province. “The cost shift to local government is both unwarranted and unfair.” But Anton said the cost shift stems from the previous Conservative federal government’s

decision to pay less than before, not the result of any downloading by Victoria. “British Columbia has not changed its funding,” she said. “This is an increase that was imposed on B.C. and other provinces by the federal government, which is now requiring municipalities and the province to pay more for DNA services, or lose the service altogether.” She said the province continues to make its standard annual contri-

bution of $1.3 million a year and it has added a further $1.7 million this year to subsidize municipalities. But that provincial subsidy dries up next year under a federalprovincial agreement to apportion the costs, leaving more to come out of civic coffers.

A musical celebration of Christmas

Sam Bates The Progress

Join the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra (“the Met”) for A Celebration of Christmas on Dec. 19. As their eighth annual Christmas concert, the Met will offer a festive and diverse program for music and dance lovers alike. Met board member Anne Fleming says, “This is the concert where we get to showcase the diversity of talent that we have in our orchestra, and select a program of some wonderful music of the Christmas season.” On stage will be a number of special guests including vocal soloist Crystal Hicks, who will be belting out traditional holiday favourites in her gospel style. Originally from the Bahamas, Hicks grew up singing. “My dad was a pastor, my mother was

from a musical family. We all had a real love for it.” Of her varied vocal experience, Hicks performs jazz, blues, pop and more, but she gets the most enjoyment from performing gospel. “I can just really belt it,” she laughed. “It resonates with my faith. When you believe in what you’re singing, you really feel it.” Hicks performed with the Met during a Christmas concert a few years ago, and she’s excited to join them once again. “Singing with an orchestra... that’s an experience that just lifts you,” she enthused. Met orchestra bassist Johan Worst has worked with Hicks outside of the orchestral stage as well, in a band called ‘Horizon.’ The two are working with pianist Sandra Bower on a classic jazzy favourite for the Celebration of Christmas show. “The Christmas performances with the Met are always

great,” Worst said. “It’s not just the orchestra on stage performing for a receptive audience, there’s audience participation as well.” Rod Swanson, Chilliwack music teacher and classical guitarist, will also join Hicks for a special vocal and guitar duet. Met Conductor Gregor y Douglas Johnson had wanted to perform music from the beloved Nutcracker Suite for years. What better way to bring this beautiful music to life than with great, local dancers. Local dancer and choreographer Leigh Hilar y-Lee was thrilled to provide a ballet and acro dance troupe and choreography from Crucible Dance Ministr y, the dance company that she founded nearly a year ago. Originally from Portland, Oregon, Hilar y-Lee formed Crucible Dance Ministry after years of rigorous education and

work in fine arts as a dancer and instructor. “Our mission [at Crucible] is to develop leaders that are growing in their faith,” Hilary-Lee explained. The group strives to serve communities at a local and global scale, and pays it forward with the gift of dance. Of Hilar y-Lee’s dance troupe will be award-winning acro dance soloist Zoey Howe, who will take the stage for the Arabian dance, Coffee. Dancing since she was three, Howe is gaining fame in the Lower Mainland for her grace and athleticism, and she hopes to one day perform with the Cirque du Soleil. “No Christmas orchestra program is really complete without a beautiful Harpist,” Fleming said. The Met are fortunate to have Calgary Philharmonic Olivia Ritchey on the program for the Nutcracker Suite and a special Samuel Rousseau

variation on an ancient French Christmas carol. Ritchey will be joined by a string quartet of orchestra musicians to perform this piece, which she has waited years to bring to the stage. Lovers of jazz, gospel, classical, dance and more will unite in joy during this festive evening celebration that won’t soon be forgotten. The Christmas season can be a frantic time, Hicks pointed out, and she hopes that this concert will provide a fun break from this hectic time of year, where peoples’ spirits can be lifted by beautiful music. A Celebration of Christmas takes place at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre (9201 Corbould St.) on Saturday, Dec. 19 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for students, available at the Box Office, at chilliwackculturalcentre.ca, or by phone at 604-391-7469.

Chiefs step up with big guns absent Eric J. Welsh, The Progress W ith Dennis Cholowski off turning heads at a World Junior A Challenge tryout camp, the Chilliwack Chiefs needed a D-man to step up and fill the void. Who better than Zach Giuttari? The steady, dependable and normally points-deficient blueliner channeled his inner offence and scored his first two goals of the year in weekend games against Coquitlam and Nanaimo. “I don’t know that I’m the go-to guy,” he laughed. “But I definitely had to step up. Everyone on the team had to step up and I was lucky to get a couple shots through.”

The BCHL rookie came into the weekend with three assists in 25 outings. His first goal of the year was a wrister from the point that snuck past Coquitlam keeper Tyger Howat. He also earned an assist in Friday’s 9-4 win. The next night he put the only puck behind Nanaimo’s Evan Johnson in a 2-1 overtime loss. “Obviously you want one now and then and I got chirped at a bit by the boys,” he smiled. “I’m a defenceman, so I don’t worry much about points and I figured it’d happen when it happened.” When he wasn’t lighting the lamp, the Rhode Island native spent the rest of his time playing typically airtight D.

“He’s a great guy Giuttari and his Chiefs have been one of the who’s really easy to play most difficult teams to with,” Giuttari said. “He score on over the last keeps everything simple with lots of commumonth and a half.

GIUTTARI Nolan (Zweep) We always have the center down low and the wingers are there for wall support.” “Everyone’s buying in.” Giuttari’s most frequently paired with second year man Mark Esposito.

and (Olivier) Arseneau as well,” Giuttari said. “It kept us on our toes because we never knew who we were going out with next.” “We just heard Kyle (assistant coach Adams) say, ‘OK, you

two next.’” Saturday’s game against Nanaimo was a case of paying the price for success. So good have the Chiefs been this year that they had five guys selected for the Canada West World Junior A Challenge camp. Cholowski, goalie Matteo Esposito and forwards Vimal Sukumaran, Kohen Olischefski and Jordan Kawaguchi were all missing. Against the Island division leading Clips (21-10-0-1) that could have been a recipe for disaster. Even Giuttari would probably be stretching the truth to say he expected his crew to out-shoot the visitors 40-29. “We were a little nervous missing some

of our highest scorers and I think we knew we had to work harder to overcome that adversity,” Giuttari said. “We did our best and it took extra time for them to win.” Kawaguchi and Sukumaran may have made the difference when Chilliwack misfired on a lengthy fiveon-three power play. They came up empty again on a five-minute third period power play, when Nanaimo’s Charley Borek crosschecked Mark Esposito in the face. “They are goal-scorers and we definitely could have used them in those situations,” Giuttari noted. “The guys who were missing are almost our entire first unit power play. If we’d capitalized on either of those chances

it would have been different.” But there were no heads hanging Monday morning. “We knew we could play with them and we’re feeling really good today,” Giuttari noted. “We’re looking forward to a good road trip up to Prince George.” Giuttari and crew are in PG Friday and Saturday to face a Spruce Kings squad they’ve already beaten twice this season. PG holds down fifth place in the Mainland division standings with a 8-22-0-2 record. The Chiefs are back home Sunday at 5 p.m. to host the Merritt Centennials (10-20-0-2) at Prospera Centre.

Bantam star Bowen ranked among Canada’s best Chilliwack Minor Hockey bantam star Jason Bowen has been recognized as one of the top players in Canada for the month of November. The Chilliwack A1 forward earned the honour from

HockeyNow, which shines the spotlight on 10 top players from BC, Alberta and Ontario each month. Bowen was a standout performer at the Tim Jardine Bantam AAA Showcase in South Delta, tying for the scoring lead and mak-

ing the tournament all-star squad. HockeyNow said of Bowen, “Equally adept at scoring goals as he is at passing the puck. A wellrounded talent on offence with many weapons in his arsenal.” The Chilliwackian is now in the

mix for HockeyNow’s Player of the Year award, which has been won in the past by National Hockey Leaguers Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Colin Fraser, Gilbert Brule, Karl Alzner and Stefan Elliott. Bowen is the younger brother

of Ryan Bowen, who played for the Chilliwack Chiefs last season and now toils for the Western Hockey League’s Moose Jaw Warriors. See hockeynow.ca/minor-hockey/hockeynow-s-2016-minor-hockey-player-of-the-year-november

Falcons topple top-10 team The Sardis secondary senior girls’ basketball team knocked off a top 10 team Saturday, beating the MEI Eagles 49-45. The teams met in the Skyline tournament, hitting the court at the Envision Athletic Centre in Abbotsford. The tourney drew 16 of the top teams in the province, and the Eagles showed their skill by jumping out to an early lead. MEI led 35-28 through three quarters, but the Falcons never hung their heads, rallying in the last four minutes. With two minutes to play Sardis trailed 45-41. MEI didn’t score another point with Hope DeBruyn playing lockdown D and Azalya Forstbauer pulling down rebounds.

Makena Lejeune hit a huge three pointer with 19 seconds to go, and led the team in overall scoring 16 points. Forstbauer had 13 points and DeBruyn and Demi Weijdeman each added seven. “This win was a team effort, with lots of energy coming from the bench and great team defense,” said coach Gina Graves. “I am excited to see where this team will go this season. We have the potential to do great things.” The Falcons played their first league game Tuesday (after Progress press deadlines). Their next home match sees them hosting the W.J. Mouat Hawks Dec 14.

Laura March 14, 1952 – Dec. 2, 2015

September 25th 1939 - November 28th 2015 It is with great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Roy, surrounded by family at Chilliwack General Hospital on November 28th 2015. Roy is survived by his wife and lifelong friend Linda, his 6 children; Laura (Andy), Anna (Chris), Cindy, Andrew (Tana), Brent, and Matt, his 3 foster children; Ken, Michelle, and Kevin, 2 grandchildren; Theresa (Clayton), and Andrew, 2 greatgrandchildren Maxwell and Pepper, his siblings Lillian, Arnold (Gladys), Ralph (Lynne), Randy (Mary), Terry (Cheryl), Jo-Anne (Brian), and many nieces, nephews and friends. Roy’s life was dedicated to caring for others. Family, friends and strangers knew if they needed a hand they could count on Roy.

MARCHUK Bairy Michael

Passed away Saturday, Dec. 5, 2015 in Chilliwack, B.C. at age 64 years. He was born July 24, 1951 in Yorkton, Sask. Bairy spent his early childhood on the family farm near Burgis, Sask., prior to the family moving to Yorkton, where he attended elementary and high school.

There will be a Celebration of Roy’s Life on January 10th, 2016 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the Mt. Cheam Lions Hall, 45580 Spadina Ave in Chilliwack B.C. - All are welcome. Tributes and condolences can also be posted at: www.amherstcremation.com In lieu of ﬂowers please make a donation to your local food bank.

FOR EVERY FAMILY

In 1968, the family purchased the Bridal Falls Motel where they all resided and Bairy attended the high school in Chilliwack. Bairy and Marilyn met in 1976 after being set up on a date by friends. They married May 14, 1977 and the rest is history . . . a match made in heaven. Their pride and joy, a son, Ryan was born November 1980. Family and friends were and still are the heart of their daily lives. Bairy’s thoughtfulness and caring for others and never expecting anything in return, brought forth his nickname ‘Care Bear’ by his family at The Chilliwack Progress. Bairy was a past member of Chilliwack Rotary, and was a consistent volunteer for a variety of charities - both local and other areas.

His love was his family and he always looked forward to spending time in Tulameen at the family cottage. He was always eager to greet family and friends which included the “outlaws” Larry & Judy. His open and caring attitude and jovial ways brought forth many lasting friendships. All who knew him knew he was a ‘prankster’ at heart. He could dish it out, but he could also take it. His grandson Chase was the apple of his eye and brought him such happiness. He will be forever loved and always remembered. “Even though I can’t see you I know you’re still with me... You will forever twinkle in every light.’’ Bairy is survived by his loving wife, Marilyn; son, Ryan (Jessica); grandson, Chase; mother, Nell; sister, Verle Clark (Bob); mother-in-law, Loretta Nash; brother-in-law, Ron Nash; sister-in-law, Evelyn Nash; niece, Karen Collins (Neil) and children, Brenna and Addison; nephew Geoff Clark (Joanne) and children, Emily and Alex; nephew, Chris Nash and son Cruiz; nieces, Morgan Nash and Kim Nash; aunts, uncles and numerous cousins. He was predeceased by his father, Michael; father-in-law, Fred ‘Rocky’ Nash; brother-in-law, John ‘Rick’ Nash. A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, Dec. 14, 2015 at 1 p.m. at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, 9201 Corbould St., Chilliwack. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made in Bairy’s name to the Tulameen Community Centre, Box 1D Comp 9 V0X 2L0, or the Tulameen Fire Department, Box 1C, Comp 7 V0X 2L0.

DAVIS (NOSATY), Diane Marie May 16, 1951 - December 4, 2015 The World lost a shining light on December 4th when Diane Davis passed away after a courageous fight with cancer. So many positive adjectives could be applied to Diane: artistic; humble; sensual; strong; fun; compassionate; dedicated; determined; hilarious; adventurous. She filled her life with beautiful music, books, art and living things, and while she was very comfortable in solitude she was also a loving and fiercely loyal friend and partner. Those who knew Diane will remember her radiant smile, so natural and genuine, and the laughter that came so easily to her lips. Diane spent most of her professional career in educational media, working for over three decades at what would eventually become the University of the Fraser Valley, where she retired as a graphic designer, producer and photographer in 2012. Late in her life she was able to indulge her spirit of adventure and love of travel with journeys in Cuba, Mexico, England, Scotland, America and Western Canada. When she learned that she had late-stage cancer in 2013, she faced her disease with optimism and bravery that both comforted and awed those who loved and supported her. She is cherished and sadly missed by her best friend and husband Greg; son Ryland Sweeney; Mother Olive Nosaty; Sister Loretta Latta; brothers Henry, Randy and Terry Nosaty; and devoted dog Chloe. As per Diane’s wishes no service will be held. Those wanting to honor Diane’s memory are encouraged to make a donation to the BC Cancer Foundation or Canadian Cancer Society. On line tributes and condolences may be offered at Henderson’s Funeral Home in care of arrangements, 604-792-1344 www.hendersonsfunerals.com

The final whistle has blown. Laura has played her last game. In life, she played every game with determination, athleticism and strength. She and her teams reached championship levels in basketball, field hockey, soccer, baseball and curling. Laura had that rare ability to inspire her teammates, colleagues and students to be the best they could be. Cancer, her final challenge was fought with uncommon courage and dignity. Jeremy, her husband and “Rock” supported her through this struggle. She is also survived by her sister Karen (Roger), brother, Robert (Janet), nieces and nephews. Her many friends and all those who had the opportunity to “play” with her will cherish her memory. A celebration of Laura’s life will be held at Chilliwack Curling Club, Saturday, Dec. 12 at 1:00 PM. The fight is over Rest well little one..J
