Hottest summer on record Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
Chilliwack assessments in the mail Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Modest hikes for 2016 are what Chilliwack home owners can expect when they open their property assessment notices this week. BC Assessment has sent out the annual notices to 469,000 homeowners, reflecting market values as of July 1, 2015. “The majority of residential home owners within the region can expect a modest increase, compared to last year’s assessment,” said Deputy Assessor Brian Smith. “What we are seeing in Chilliwack is a range of five per cent to 15 per cent increases.” A typical single family home in Promontory valued at $421,000 on the 2016 roll, up from $374,000 the year before, for a 13 per cent increase. Another sample home in Rosedale went from $259,000 last year to $272,000 for the 2016 roll. Sample properties are selected by BC Assessment to establish a typical benchmark value for the roll, to illustrate market trends for the area. Smith said property increases of about five per cent were common in the neighbourhoods of Rosedale and Greendale, and between five per cent and 10 per cent east of Chilliwack and in Yarrow. Promontory and Ryder Lake properties saw slightly higher increases, he said. Things have changed in how the numbers are calculated by BC Assessment. The Fraser Valley region as designated by the assessors, now encompasses Richmond, Delta, as well as Surrey, Langley and Abbotsford to points east of Boston Bar and Manning Park. It also includes points north of the Fraser, just east of the Pitt River, between Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge and Harrison Hot Springs. “It’s important to note that BC Assessment’s Fraser Valley region now includes the Metro Vancouver municipalities of Richmond, Delta, Surrey, White Rock and Tsawwassen First Nation.” Owners of properties in South Delta and parts of Richmond were expected to see the steepest increases in the region. Overall, Fraser Valley’s total assessments increased from $294.1 billion in 2015 to $321.1 billion this year. A total of about $6 billion of the region’s updated assessments is from new construction, subdivisions and rezoning of properties. Continued: ASSESS/ p5

From a weather perspective, things are still heating up in Chilliwack, and records continue to fall. The year 2015 saw its summer become the “hottest on record,” according to Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada, with a staggering total of 30 days in heat wave mode. “With mean temperatures for 2015 an amazing 2.64 degrees Celsius above normal, it was the second consecutive year with record breaking high mean temperatures, continuing the warming trend which started in 1986,” he said in his year end report. The months of May, June, July and October were the warmest since Chilliwack records began in 1895. After the record breaking summers of 2013, with mean temperatures 2.33 °C above normal, and last summer with mean temperatures 2.64 °C above normal, the summer of 2015 became the hottest on record with mean temperatures 3.81 °C above normal, he said. For a whopping 30 days searing hot maximum temperatures were recorded above 30 °C. “It was the 14th consecutive year with well above the average of seven hot days, a trend never previously observed. There were a total of 67 record breaking high temperatures observed in 2015 and no low temperature records.” Temperature extremes included the record-breaking maximum temperature of 36.5 °C on July 5th and the low of 4.7 °C on Jan. 1, 2015.

Rare bird find offers owl insight Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A rare burrowing owl that crash landed in Chilliwack last week didn’t make it. The small owl was rescued near Gente Bella Salon and Spa on Vedder Road on Dec. 29. He was spotted by salon staff who then called the Delta-based Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society in the hopes the bird could be nursed back to health. A volunteer with OWL drove out to Chilliwack to pick up the injured owl but unfortunately he was critically injured, possibly from head trauma, and succumbed to his injuries, said OWL spokesperson Mindy Dick. “We’re not sure what happened to him. We think he may have hit a window,” she said. From the description over the phone, they thought it might be another type of smaller owl, the northern saw whet owl. “It was a bit of a surprise to open the box and find a burrowing owl.” The Burrowing Owl Conser vation Society of British Columbia describes a burrowing owl as “a short, fat, little bird on stilts, about the size of a pop can.” This little owl is red-listed in B.C. and on the Species at Risk list in Canada. The burrowing owl was extirpated in B.C. by 1980, but a dedicated group at the BOCSBC has been raising the owls in captivity and releasing them into the wild in the Okanagan and Nicola Valley. They’ve banded thousands of the owls as juveniles, and reintroduced them in an effort
A rare burrowing owl, like the one pictured here, was found injured in Chilliwack on Dec. 29. SUBMITTED
to boost the population up to self-sustainable levels, said president Mike Mackintosh. “Last year was our best year for returns in significant numbers to B.C., with 50 coming back,” he said. “It’s almost a breakthrough after hovering around 20, or 25 birds every year. So we’re keeping our fin-
gers crossed for this year.” They don’t have any specific data on the little adult male burrowing owl found in Chilliwack. It’s unusual to hear of a possible window strike, which isn’t as common as say highway strikes in the Interior for these owls. “It was sad he didn’t make
it. We were interested to hear that it wasn’t banded,” said Mackintosh. Maybe it eluded the banding as a juvenile or it could have been a wild specimen that followed some other owls back to B.C. from points south, he said. It’s hard to put a number to the burrowing owl population in B.C., since it varies depending on the time of year. This bird might have been flying south for the winter. Burrowing owls have been found in several unusual locations across B.C., aside from the more than 1,500 artificial burrows built by the conservation society. These range from croplands, golf courses, roadsides, and airports, to dump sites and urban neighbourhoods. The owls bunker down in makeshift shelter, such as abandoned pipe, crevices, foundation footings and even building overhangs. Small returning numbers back to B.C. during migration are the biggest problem they face at the BOCSBC. “Sometimes they take up residence in the States and never return.” Anyone encountering an injured or orphaned bird of prey can contact OWL, which is run on donations. “It is unsafe to handle these birds without the proper safety equipment and training. OWL is on call seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day.” See more at www.owlcanada.org or http://burrowingowlbc.org/
Home owner grant cut-off rises Lift to $1.2m shields some from property tax bite Jeff Nagel Black Press The B.C. government has raised the threshold to qualify for the full home owner grant to shield some owners from a higher property tax bill. The jump in assessed values this year would have left owner-occupied homes that have climbed above $1.1 million – the old threshold – with less than the basic $570 home owner grant offsetting taxes. The revised threshold is $1.2 million and homes above that lose $5 of the grant for every $1,000 in additional value. That means the grant now disappears altogether for homes worth more than $1.314 million. The province reduced the threshold in 2014 from a previous $1.295 million in order to skim $11 million from home owner grants to general revenue and it was kept frozen at $1.1 million last year. Seniors, veterans and the disabled also may qualify for an additional grant of up to $275. The proportion of B.C. homes that are valued below the new cut-off for the full grant is 91 per cent, down from 93 per cent last year and 95 per cent in 2012. B.C. Real Estate Association chief economist Cameron Muir said the loss of the home owner grant for some property owners is unlikely to impact the market. “We’re talking about a few hundred dollars per year here,” Muir said. “It has a bigger impact on young home owners who have more stretched budgets.” But most first-time home buyers aren’t purchasing seven-figure homes, he suggested. “It’s most relevant to seniors on fixed incomes who have seen a tremendous increase in their property values and it’s allowing many of them not to have that additional drain on their limited income.” Seniors whose property tax bills have skyrocketed over the years also have the option of deferring property taxes until the eventual sale of the home.

Rumbling reminder
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
Last week’s minor earthquake created quite a stir, even here in Chilliwack. But was the rumbling enough to shake off the reluctance felt by many to stock a 72-hour emergency kit? True, the 4.3-magnitude earthquake centred off Sidney Island caused little damage. But for those surprised at how much it felt like a “real” earthquake, the 10-second shaker may well be the event that finally prompts them to take the initiative and assemble the supplies necessary for them and their families to survive for 72 hours without assistance. Emergency preparedness officials have long pounded the drum to be ready for the big one, when it inevitably comes and this latest seismic event will give them even more fodder with which to drive their message home. The Dec. 30 quake, estimated to have happened between 50 and 60 kilometres under the earth’s surface, certainly wasn’t the strongest in relatively recent memory to be felt close to home. A 6.8-magnitude event centred just off Olympia, Wash. in February 2001 caused significant structural damage in the Seattle area after lasting around 45 seconds. About 400 people, mostly in and around densely populated Seattle, were said to be injured in that quake, including many who happened to be in buildings not upgraded to proper seismic standards. We appreciate the fact local school districts are being proactive in reinforcing their older buildings to be able to withstand a major shock and protect our children in the event a damaging earthquake occurs during the school day. For those of us who might find ourselves at work – or at home, as most of us were when last week’s tremor was felt – being prepared with emergency supplies and a plan could be enough to provide some peace of mind. It would also put you in a small but slowly growing group of people who can say they know what they’ll do when “the big one” really does hit. ~ Black Press

The passages of 2015: Stephen Harper I first met Stephen Harper when he was running for the Canadian Alliance leadership in 2002. Speaking to a group of Fraser Valley members concerned that the party had split over the leadership of Stockwell Day, Harper didn’t mince words because a local reporter had showed up on a Saturday morning. He explained his prediction that no matter who leads the conservative movement started by Preston Manning, the national media would work against it. “The press is owned by big-L liberals and staffed by small-L liberals,” Harper said. “Preston was too cerebral; Stock was not cerebral enough. I’m not sure where I will be, but the media will always be on the other side.” Harper’s cold war with national media is a theme that runs through his decade as prime minister, peaking in 2015 with the most
slanted election coverage I’ve ever witnessed. The celebration continues over Justin Trudeau’s victory, with the supposedly non-partisan federal bureaucracy cheering along with much of the national media. Harper’s assessment of major newspaper ownership is no longer accurate, except Tom for the Toronto FLETCHER Star. But the dying tradition of owners looking up from their accounting ledgers to endorse a political party continued, with the Postmedia chain and the Globe and Mail pointing out that Trudeau’s rash promises didn’t add up. Endorsements were a brief interruption in the media assault on Harper’s record. His government’s plan to welcome 10,000 refugees,
unveiled way back in January 2015, was portrayed as heartless and feeble, while Trudeau’s 25,000 by Christmas represented the generous character of the true Canada. As it turns out, the Liberals have been hard pressed to reach even the 10,000 mark. But they’ve put out a rash new promise to make it 50,000 at some point in the future, so the media’s new-found message of sunshine, hope and change continues. Those modest $10 billion annual deficits that Trudeau promised, and Harper warned against? Borrowing and spending will far exceed that, but we’re assured that’s because they were based on inflated Conservative financial forecasts. In fact, independent private sector forecasts are now the key reference for government budgets at the federal and provincial level. None of them predicted the fur-

ther slump in energy prices that continued through 2015. And cooking the books before an election isn’t really possible any more, thanks to the establishment of the Parliamentary Budget Office. That was a Harper innovation, along with scheduled elections. And that Trudeau pledge to raise taxes on the wealthiest Canadians and use the proceeds to finance a tax cut for the middle class? That one didn’t add up either. For one thing, wealthy people have a variety of legal ways to reduce their taxable income. Here’s an actual front-page headline from the Globe and Mail, reporting this unfortunate fact, well after the election: “The way Liberals gauged response to new tax rate explains gap.” So it was just an understandable oversight, you see. Trudeau’s star turn in Paris,
where he pronounced that “Canada is back” in the battle to control the world’s weather? The official submission from his bloated delegation to the UN climate meetings was actually the existing Conservative plan, which includes phasing out coal-fired electricity generation. Harper generally represented a preference for the individual over the state, a concept that at one time was known as “liberalism.” This was illustrated by his preference for parents rather than a nanny state to administer child care. He advocated free trade, small government and low taxes. We’ll see how that legacy survives the new government and its media cheering section.

A hurt worse than the fall On Christmas Eve I went to pick up the mail. It had snowed, so I get the mail (the box is beside the road), I turn around and slip and fall. My left foot twisted a little bit and my right leg stretched out. So here I am on my hands and knees trying to get up, which was difficult because I was hurting. I finally managed to get up, but I was pretty wobbly and fell down again this time on my back with feet sticking in the air (pretty
funny sight if you think about it). So I twisted around to my hands and knees again just bawling my eyes out. It took me a long time to make it up. Not one – not even one – of the multitude of cars that drove by stopped or even slowed down to ask if I was okay or if I needed help. By the time I made it back to the house I was crying so hard. I was hurting bad, yes, but I think I hurt more from the
thought that we have become this type of society that no one could bother to help me. It was in broad daylight, right beside the road and a lot of cars went by so you can’t tell me nobody saw me. This happened on Yale Road East right in front of Mount Cheam Trailer Court. I just want to say to all those people who passed by me and couldn’t care less to stop and help, Merry Christmas to you.

who swooped down and grabbed him when he was cornered. A lady drove them back to the Animal Hospital and my nightmare was over. I think the dog’s happy flight of freedom turned into a terrifying ordeal. He bit Dee’s finger, but she made light of it, saying he did it

I am very sensitive to lights especially in these dark months of the year. There are fog lights, improperly aimed headlights, illegal blue lights, and lights on high vehicles that blast you at a stop light! While on the subject of lights, there’s also emergency lights. This morning there was a police car on the No. 1 with emergency lights. You are supposed to slow down to something like 70 or 80 kph and when I do I get tailgated for doing so.

UFV production offers real test for students Ensemble Project presents The Romeo Initiative The Progress It’s time to take off the training wheels. For the first time, UFV Theatre students will perform a production where the entire show is produced and presented exclusively by students. The Ensemble Project class of 16 upper-level students handle it all. They are the cast, crew and everything around and in between. “The core value of the Ensemble Project is that we’re all involved,” said Director Shawna Lawson. “And everyone is learning something new,” said Assistant Director Phay Gagnon. Each student brings prior theatre experience, like acting, writing or designing for UFV’s 15-minute “D-Fest” productions. However, everyone is taking on an entirely new or expanded role for this project. The students began by pitching show ideas to one another. In addition to content requirements, it had to be a show small enough that 16 people could successfully produce and perform without any assistance, yet large enough that everyone would be able to learn and grow from the experience. The Romeo Initiative, Stage Manager Eli Moores said, was that perfect middle ground. Written by Vancouverbased playwright Trina Davies, it’s a story of love, lies and intrigue, told against a backdrop of Cold War politics in 1970s Germany. Once the script was selected, the students went about assigning the various roles. This was no simple name-outof-a-hat process. They required pitches for crew and directing candidates, and auditions for the three character roles, each of which was followed by collaborative deliberation sessions. Described as romantic-comedy meets spythriller, The Romeo Initiative is not your typical love story. It follows the relationship between Karin (played by Emily Eggert-Botkin) and Markus (Reilly Ellis), and the bridge between them, Lena (played by Delaney Bergstrom). “One of the most fascinating things about this show,” said
Artistic Coordinator Nial Harrison Morry, “is that you see the same story from two different perspectives.” Act One is from Karin’s point of view, while Act Two is from Markus’. Through their subtleties, four seemingly identical scenes in each act are drastically different. Those opposing perspectives are visually demonstrated through careful design choices. Karin’s romantic, flowing skirt becomes rigid through Markus’ eyes. His memory of their rainy, dark wedding contrasts with her sunny recollection. The audience will be enthralled in spotting the differences. Thanks to the small cast, the audience will notice these subtle deviations as they gain an intimate look into each character’s life. And the closely-knit cast members have formed the trust necessary to genuinely portray scenes of heated passion or romance.
Although the blackbox theatre venue at the Canada Education Park (CEP) Campus is unlike what the students have experienced with prior UFV productions, Morry said it’s actually a good replication of what he and fellow students might work in for their early professional careers. Operating out of CEP also meant they were more than a few steps away from their instructors. Ensemble Project instructor Heather Davis-Fisch and technical professionals offered guidance only on an asneeded basis. “We have faculty support if we have questions, but they’re not doing our jobs for us,” Gagnon explained. By taking on the lead roles themselves, they’re gaining necessary independence. Being the “guinea pigs” of this project, the students agreed that they are carrying a profound responsibility, but

also that they’re on an epic adventure. “The first time you do something, you learn a hell of a lot,” said Morry. These UFV students are continuing to develop in their craft, but are also gaining invaluable experience by mentoring and supporting one another at the cross-section of each role. “You don’t want to

limit yourself,” said Gagnon. What you like and what you’re good at might not be the same, so it’s important to try as many different roles as possible. “The more you know about all the areas, the better you are at whatever area you end up focusing on,” Lawson added.

Owen Hopcott (far right) snipes the game winning goal against Seattle with Derek Priest and Greye Rampton crashing the crease in last Wednesday’s Platinum division final at the 57th annual Peewee Jamboree. The Chilliwack peewee A1 Bruins went unbeaten in four round-robin and two playoff games and handed Seattle their only loss of the tournament, taking a 4-3 decision in the gold-medal match. Hopcott’s game winner came on the power play with just 30 seconds to go, marking the first time in over a decade that a Chilliwack team has claimed top spot in the top division at the Jamboree.

Chilliwack Chiefs netminder Aidan Pelino will play for the Bentley Falcons next fall. Pelino’s NCAA scholarship was announced last Friday, and he becomes the latest in a lengthy list of BCHLers to join
the Falcons. Bentley plays in the NCAA’s division one Atlantic Hockey Association and competes against schools such as Robert Morris, RIT, Air Force and Holy Cross.
The team’s 2015-16 roster includes seven BCHL graduates; TJ Dumonceaux, Jayson Argue, Cody DePourcq, Andrew Gladiuk, Max French, Andy Chugg and Tyler Krause. Pelino was named to the
BCHL’s all-rookie team last year and so far this year has amassed a 15-8-1 record with a .920 save percentage, 2.28 goal-against average and two shutouts. See uscho.com

Wenatchee cuts into Mainland division lead The Chilliwack Chiefs pulled just one of a possible four points from a weekend road trip to Wenatchee. The Chiefs saw their cushion atop the Mainland division standings shrink to two points with a 5-4 loss Friday and a 3-2 overtime loss Saturday. The Chiefs let the first one get away from them. They led 4-2 after 40 minutes on a pair of Aaron O’Neill goals and singles by Connor McCarthy and Kale Kane.

NELMES
Gwendolyn Orla
William (Bill) 1937 - 2015
Gwen passed away peacefully on December 28th, 2015 at Cascade Lodge. She was in her 89th year. No service by request.
William (Bill) Edward Nelmes was born in Chilliwack, BC on August 10, 1937 and passed away on December 24, 2015 in Oliver, BC after a long battle with cancer. He was predeceased by his parents Bert and Kay Nelmes. Bill is survived by his wife Marian of Oliver; sons Hugh (Elaine) of Prince George and Stanley (Vicki) of Prince George; daughter Jocelyn (Brad) Hensby of Prince George; sister Kathleen (Bill) Spelay of Chilliwack; grandchildren Julie, Andrea, Dillon and nu-
STEENSMA Corny June 29, 1932 - December 21, 2015 Corny passed away peacefully in Chilliwack at age 83 years on December 21. He is lovingly remembered and will be missed by his wife of nearly 60 years Joanne, his brother Harry (Willy and family), brother-in-law Ab (and family), sister-in-law Bep de Vries (and family), sister-in-law Kristene (and family), his children Harry, Corrie, Joey, and Cassandra (Jeff), his grandchildren Lisa (Rob), Adam (Ashley), Derek, and Travis, and his great-grandchildren Samantha, Kayden, Jaxson and Linden. Corny was a veteran of the Dutch Marines, and has lived throughout the Fraser Valley since 1959. He will forever be remembered for his happy nature, his timely jokes, and his willingness to always help all those close to him. It was Corny’s wish to be cremated without a funeral.
PHILIP Evelyn Margaret (nee: Curran) October 5, 1924 - December 10, 2015 Born, raised, and educated in Saskatoon, Evelyn taught home economics across the country at extension, high school, college, and university levels, including at MacDonald Institute at Guelph University, where she met her husband, Hugh. While raising their family in Sardis, our mom worked for Chilliwack Community Services and our dad practiced veterinary medicine. They retired to their Aldergrove acreage, frequently traveled, and enjoyed visits with their grandchildren. Always active, our mom contributed many hours of service to both minor hockey and Pony Club and later knitted tirelessly for hospital gift shops. She was a skillful and innovative English smocker who taught all over North America. Our talented and resourceful mom was much loved and will be greatly missed by those who survive her: her husband (Hugh); children Wendy (Mark), Neil, and Brenda (Joakim); grandchildren Lliam and Kaley (Travis); and many nieces, nephews, and friends. She was predeceased by her parents and siblings (Elspeth and Alexander). The many stories recently shared with us, demonstrate that Mom’s handmade items continue to be enjoyed and valued by many in and beyond our family. In the past few years our mom received wonderful care from the loving staff at Harrison Landing, Langley Gardens (Empress), and at Simpson Manor, where she quietly passed away. At Evelyn’s request, there will be no service. Donations to the Alzheimer Society of BC or a charity of your choice would be appreciated.
