Change pipeline route to protect Chilliwack water, says WaterWealth Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Kinder Morgan should change the route of its proposed Trans Mountain pipeline to better protect Chilliwack’s drinking water sources, according to WaterWealth Project. It should be a condition of project approval, and the new pipeline route should be directed away from the aquif fer, according f We’ve always to WaterWealth spokesperson Ian emphasized Stephen.

Setting sights on a Lakeside Trail Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A new trail is in the works to connect Main Beach with campgrounds and communities on the north end of Cultus Lake. Volunteers with the Lakeside Trail Society are laying the groundwork for a “safe and scenic” walking trail for residents, and visitors alike, said Jim Young, chair of the trail society. “The idea is so popular. People want to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors,” Young said. Several new housing developments have been springing up near Cultus Lake in recent years. That means potentially hundreds of residents are in need of a walkable access route. “We wanted to find a way
to connect those people to the lake,” said Young. Some have crossed private property, which has caused “consternation” in the past, and walking along the roadway in some sections is neither “practical or safe,” he said. “We plan on building this trail between the highway and the lake for its entire length,” said Young. The idea for a trail around the lake arose in discussions with FVRD a few years ago, as they were updating the OCP for the region, and made it part of the future vision. As someone who enjoys climbing Teapot Hill, Young said he has to jump in his car to reach the trailhead since it’s not safe to walk along the narrower
strips of highway. “So the idea came up to put in a trail that would connect communities, end to end.” It’s will take a few years to complete the 10-km Lakeside Trail, and it will be completed in sections. The trail will be geared for walkers, runners, and cyclists, but not for motorized vehicles or horses. It will be five to eight feet wide, seal-coated over crushed aggregate. The first section will go from the Leisure Valley development to Maple Bay, about 2 km, will link up communities near Lindell Beach with the lake. “It’s the easiest section to build, and one that will benefit the most people.” Continued: TRAIL/ p7

Abbotsford men arrested in Hope following Chilliwack break in Vikki Hopes Black Press Two Abbotsford men have been arrested in Hope following an investigation into the theft of property and weapons. The investigation began Dec. 29, when the RCMP crime reduction unit (CRU) in Chilliwack received information from the Abbotsford Police Department CRU of a black Dodge pickup truck associated to a break-in over Christmas.
Abbotsford Police believed the suspect vehicle was travelling in the Upper Fraser Valley region. In the early afternoon of the 29th, the suspect truck was in Hope under the surveillance of Chilliwack CRU, who waited for the opportunity to safely stop the vehicle and apprehend the occupants. The opportunity presented itself when the pickup was parked in front of a local business. The driver and passenger were arrested without incident, and a hand-
gun, ammunition, and compound bow were seized by police during a search of the truck. Both men were transported by police back to Abbotsford. Their names have not yet been released. Investigators determined there was a link between the break-in and a residence in the 19800 block of Peters Road on Sumas Prairie in Chilliwack. That residence was quickly cordoned off by the the Abbotsford Police emergency response team (ERT), with support from the
across the region, Rayworth said. “Criminals move between jurisdictions and travel through the Fraser Valley committing crime,” said Cpl. Mike Rail. “RCMP of the Upper Fraser Regional Detachment par tner with Abbotsford Police Department to identify and apprehend these criminals, which in turn makes both communities safer for their respective residents.” Police encourage the public to report any suspicious activity to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Lower Mainland District ERT. A search warrant was executed later that evening by the Abbotsford CRU. Cpl. Brock Rayworth of Chilliwack CRU said the Peters Road residence has been the target of a joint investigation looking into property crime across the Fraser Valley and involving police in Hope, Chilliwack and Abbotsford. Investigators are continuing to look into links between the Peters Road address and other thefts

Local ski hills celebrating the snow Barry Stewart Black Press Last winter, B.C.’s coastal ski hills were dealt a cruel blow, when rain and warm temperatures forced them to severely scale back operations. At Hemlock Valley, north of Harrison Mills, they didn’t even open. A few degrees colder than coastal mountains, Manning Park Resort was able to sneak through last winter — but this season has seen a huge improvement at both ski hills, with snowfalls perfectly timed for the Christmas break. Hemlock’s director of operations, Sam Hicks said on Sunday, “We went from a worst-case scenario last year to the best season I’ve seen in my ten years here. “It’s the best in skier numbers and in conditions,” said Hicks. “We had seven days straight of earlyseason snowfall, which has allowed us to flourish in the past 17 days we’ve been opened. We set daily and weekly sales records over the holiday season. “It’s a very exciting time. Our parking lots have been jammed, so people have been parking farther down the road. At the tube park, we’ve been seeing 500 to 600 tubers a day, which is phenomenal.” Hemlock is a 20 to 25-minute drive from the #7 Highway turn-off at the Sasquatch Inn. Chains aren’t always needed — but the Ministry of Highways requires them to be carried during the winter. Hicks said their market is basically from east of the Port Mann Bridge. “’Fantastic Family Fun’ is our slogan,” he added. “We’re kid friendly — and we even have a beginner chair, the Whistle Punk chair.”
Agassiz residents Bryan Wilkinson, Annalise Wilkinson and Nola Crocker (right) had a fun time in the snow at Hemlock Valley on Saturday. The hill has been blessed with lots of snow this year — arriving in advance of the Christmas break.
Hemlock had its lights on nightly for skiing until 8 p.m. throughout the Christmas break but will be scaling that back to Fridays only. The hill is now closed Mondays and Tuesdays. If the cost of skiing has kept you off the hills, Hicks wants you to know about Hemlock’s Friday Night Lights program. “A family of four can ski for $20 from 4 to 8 p.m. every Friday.” Their website is hem-

ity of their customers come from Langley, eastward, though resort staff’s attendance at ski shows in Bellingham and Seattle — highlighting the favourable exchange rate — has been attracting American guests. “There’s more snow in the forecast next week, and we’re open seven days a week for the rest of the season. Alpine is open 9 to 4 every day until April 4 and Nordic and snowshoeing will go on as long as there’s snow. “We’re celebrating a big year in 2016,” added Barker. “It’s E.C. Manning Park’s 75th anniversar y, and we’ll have different events throughout the year that will highlight the park’s history, ecological diversity and the abundance of recreational opportunities in the park, culminating in the 75th birthday party on July 16, which is also Canada Parks Day.” The resort’s website is manningpark.com.

Police are turning to the public for help since they started investigating a series of targeted shootings in Chilliwack. There were three reports of shots fired at residences in the past two weeks. “Fortunately no one was injured in any of the incidents. RCMP are turning to the public for information regarding the shootings,” said RCMP Cpl. Mike Rail of the Upper Fraser Valley RCMP detachment. Police investigators say the shootings were linked and targeted certain individuals. The first was a report of a shotgun fired at a home in the 9900-block of Quarry Road before dawn on Christmas Eve day. Two days later a similar report was made but this time it was suspect who yelled as a shotgun was fired at a house in the 9400 block of Hazel Street. Then on Jan. 2 at about 7 a.m. a 911 caller told police that a shotgun had been fired at a home in the 45000 block of Rowat Avenue. No suspects were found. “Chilliwack Serious Crime Unit supported by Crime Reduction Unit, General Investigation Support Team, and the Integrated Forensic Identification Section are pursuing all avenues to identify the suspect as part of their ongoing investigation.” Anyone with information is asked to contact Chilliwack RCMP at 604792-4611 or anonymously Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).

Priciest homes in Surrey, Fraser Valley gain $2 million Jeff Nagel Black Press Many home owners are stunned at the jump in their property value, but just imagine if the increase was measured in the millions. Some of the priciest properties in the Fraser Valley have gained more than $2 million, according to data released Tuesday by B.C. Assessment. The highest assessed single family house in the region is at 2021 Indian Fort Drive in Surrey and its value leapt $2.4 million or 25 per cent from $9.5 million to just over $11.9 million. A White Rock house at 13616 Marine Drive shot up by almost $2.8 million or 30 per cent, from $9.1 million to $11.87 million. When acreages are

included, the highest assessed residential property in the Fraser Valley (into which B.C. Assessment includes Surrey and Richmond) was a Surrey acreage at 17146 20 Avenue that gained nearly $2 million to $16.15 million. And the priciest property in Langley Township – an acreage at 19683 0 Avenue – saw its assessment rise 31 per cent or $2.4 million to $10.06 million, from $7.6 million. Explor e our interactive map at bclocalnews.com/ news/364302281.html to see the 50 highest assessed homes in the Fraser Valley. Surrey houses dominate the region’s top 100 list, which includes only a few other proper ties fur ther east – four acreages in Langley Township
ranging from $4.8 to $6.1 million and one in Chilliwack’s Columbia Valley valued at $4.6 million. Five properties on the list exceed $10 million. The most expensive home in B.C. overall was Lululemon founder Chip Wilson’s Vancouver house at 3085 Point Grey Road, now assessed at $63.87 million, up 10.9 per cent. Apar t from that house and from $51-million James Island off Sidney, the top 10 highest value homes in B.C. are all in Vancouver and exceed $29 million. According to B.C. Assessment, detached houses in urban areas of the Fraser Valley typically gained five to 25 per cent, and more rural houses were up or down by as much as five per cent in most cases. Strata units in the Fraser Valley gained between zero and 10

per cent, while commercial proper ties increased five to 25 per cent. Bigger increases were more common in Greater Vancouver, where detached houses were up 15 to 30 per cent and strata units were usually up around 10 per cent. You can look up any B.C. property’s assessment at evaluebc.bcassessment.ca. The new 2016 assessments are as of last July 1. “This is a snapshot in our rear-view mirror,” B.C. Real Estate Association chief economist Cameron Muir said. “Home prices have probably gone up 10 per cent across the region since then.” Muir said strong demand and a diminishing supply of increasingly scarce single detached houses triggered the “pretty significant gains” of 2015.

old pipelines to protect Chilliwack and Yarrow drinking water, as well as the economic, ecological, and recreational value of the Vedder River. “We will never have a better opportunity to remove this threat from the water supplies and river.” The city’s official letter of comment to the NEB identifies “protection of the SardisVedder Aquifer” during the construction of the pipeline and after. Yarrow’s wells are also adjacent to the Vedder River, and are therefore influenced by the water quality in the Vedder River downstream of the Trans Mountain crossing of the Vedder River, Stephen said. “As you may be aware, that river crossing is also near the Vedder Mountain Fault, adding seismic risk to this critical section of the pipeline route,” he wrote. Another point is that the pipeline route crosses at a point where the Sardis-Vedder Aquifer’s vulnerability is classified as “high and extreme.” “Despite all of that, the city speaks only of mitigating risk through such things as monitoring groundwater and use of heavier pipe across the aquifer, missing the simplest and surest way of protecting Chilliwack and Yarrow drinking water supplies: change the route to remove the pipeline from over the aquifer.” But Stam pointed out that even intervenors in the process won’t have any input or power to determine the alignment or route of the pipeline.
intervenor role to the Fraser Valley Regional District. Stephen said his understanding was that the choice was based on the understanding that the FVRD as intervenor could represent Chilliwack’s interests in the process, and duplication of costs and work would be avoided. Acting Mayor Chuck Stam said aquifer contamination topped Chilliwack’s list of concerns in its letter of comment to the NEB. “We’ve always emphasized the protection of the aquifer and the Vedder River right from the very beginning and have taken every opportunity to make this known,” said Stam. Chilliwack council has communicated these concerns to FVRD, which will act as intervenor in the hearings. Chilliwack’s letter of comment cites five areas of concern: protection of the Sardis-Vedder aquifer during construction and operation, protection of natural areas, impacts of construction and mitigation, Trans Mountain’s communication plan, and timing of construction at Vedder River. The WaterWealth letter also addressed repairs on the old pipeline route across Chilliwack as installation of the new line goes forward. “There is still time to direct FVRD staff to include in the FVRD Argument-in-Chief that the NEB make one of the conditions for Trans Mountain Expansion Project approval be that this route change be made for both new and

B.C. makes quitting smoking easier The B.C. government’s quitsmoking assistance program is now available to people who drop by a pharmacy to qualify for free nicotine replacement products. As of Jan. 1, 2016, participants no longer have to register by calling 8-1-1 to reach the HealthLinkBC medical advice service. The program has also expanded its offerings to include nicotine inhalers and lozenges as well as gum and patches. Health Minister Terry Lake said the changes are to make it
easier for smokers to quit, or to try again if they have relapsed after using the program before. It supplies 12 weeks’ worth of nicotine replacement products in each calendar year to B.C. residents. To qualify, people must have active Medical Services Plan coverage and be a tobacco smoker or chewer. The program began in 2011 and the province has spent $38 million on it so far. A survey of 3,000 users in 2015 found that
about one in four reported quitting smoking for some period, with half of those making it a month or more smoke free. Three quarters of survey participants reported smoking less after using nicotine replacement. The program also covers 12 weeks of prescription drugs Zyban or Champix, with cost depending on coverage under the Pharmacare program. Details are available at www.gov. bc.ca/bcsmokingcessation or from your doctor.

Lakeside trail eyed for Cultus Lake TRAIL from Front Trail society members have been meeting for months already with numerous stakeholders, businesses, residents’ associations, as well as key government ministry and political reps to build support, assistance and buy-in. “It’s a partnership, and we have had incredible contributions of time and effort,” said Young. There are existing trails to be found on Main Beach, Sunnyside Campground, the highway, BC Parks and campgrounds, but they’re not linked up in any way. “Much of the route our trail will take is therefore already built but just not connected or signed, or necessarily safe to walk along,” said Young. Increased safety for
pedestrians is a critical part of the vision. The trail will feature directional and interpretive signage as well as audio tours. Trail builders plan to create branches to existing trails like Teapot Hill, Seven Sisters and TransCanada Trail. The proposed Lakeside Trail will zigzag from Cultus Lake Park through

Pipeline risk too great
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
Amid the plethora of unlikely and unrealistic suggestions regarding Canada’s fossil fuel industry of late, a Chilliwack group is offering a modest proposal: Don’t build a new oil pipeline over Chilliwack’s only source of drinking water. True, a pipeline already exists over the Vedder aquifer. However, the proposal by Kinder Morgan to twin that pipeline along the existing rightof-way elevates the risk to Chilliwack’s water supply unnecessarily. The City of Chilliwack does acknowledge that risk. “If the aquifer is contaminated due to an accidental oil spill or leak, the water supply to 76,000 residents and businesses will be affected,” it said in its “letter of comment” sent to the National Energy Board. “Once contaminated, it is unlikely that the aquifer could be remediated adequately to use for drinking water purposes again.” Simply put, a fractured pipe would put an end to one of the finest sources of drinking water in the country. Granted, leaks are rare, but they do happen. If one were to happen here, the consequences would be significant. Given what’s at stake, one would think the City would do all it can to insist the National Energy Board compel Kinder Morgan to find an alternate route. But Chilliwack has chosen to stop well short of that. Instead, it calls on the National Energy Board to require Kinder Morgan to employ stringent construction techniques and provide adequate mitigation if something were to go wrong. Cold comfort, especially in an earthquake zone. A local water advocacy group is calling for more. The WaterWealth Project is asking that the pipeline route be altered to avoid the aquifer (see story, page 1). Further, it says the construction provides a prime opportunity to decommission the existing pipeline and relocate it along the new route. Both suggestions would carry a cost. However the cost to Chilliwack, should an accident occur, surely outweigh any inconvenience to Kinder Morgan. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Rising prices offer food for thought in the new year No one needs to be told that food prices are rising. But this year, with all the other financial and political pressures, predictions are that food costs could spike higher than they did in 2015. In their Food Price Report 2016 published by the Food Institute of the University of Guelph, the prediction is that food prices could increase anywhere from two per cent to as much as four per cent. In 2014 the prediction was that overall food prices in 2015 would rise by up to three per cent. Back then, the Canadian dollar was a lot stronger (around 85 cents) against the American dollar and food inflation was pretty much on par with expectations. But the more the Canadian dollar lost traction all those vulnerable imported foods (fruits, nuts, vegetables, processed and grocery
products) increased. In fact, the report said that for every one cent drop in the dollar over a short period of time, currency-exposed food categories like vegetables, fruits and nuts (all those imported) are likely to increase in cost by more than 1 per cent. Margaret When all was factored in, food EVANS prices in 2015 rose by 4.1 per cent across the country which translated to an average Canadian household paying some $325 more for food last year. And this year isn’t looking any better with forecasts expecting consumers to be paying $345 more for food. Fruits and vegetables (81 per
cent of which are imported across Canada) are expected to increase 4.5 per cent alone. Last year, just finding sourcing food crops in the south was demanding given the widespread drought. Meat prices rose 5 per cent last year and could go up another 4.5 per cent this year, driving some consumers to search for protein alternatives such as fish products and pulses (lentils, chickpeas). Who knew 2016 is the UN International Year of Pulses? The report stated that, of the people surveyed, 62.1 per cent said that financial reasons were the drivers for cutting back on beef consumption. Meanwhile, fish and seafood rose just 2.4 per cent and could increase three per cent this year. Grains were up (bread and bakeries rose 2.9 per cent) while the report stated that pasta (10.2 per cent), crackers (4

per cent), cookies (3.8 per cent) and rice (3 per cent) all added to inflation. The good news was that dairy products remained stable. But what’s driving the increases? The falling dollar is a huge influence and it’s been in freefall for the past 18 months. On Wednesday, it was under 71 cents, a place it hasn’t been since 2003. And it’s moving toward that psychological floorboard level of 70 cents. Financial and political wonks are worried. There are a bunch of things that could go sideways this year. Just last month there were rumblings of $20 oil, a New York banker’s Goldman Sachs prediction. Saudi Arabia is continuing to pump out cheap oil while keeping up its grunt with Iran. China’s in slowdown, meaning a shrinking economy could
translate into less imports from Canada. North Korea’s H-bomb bluster has heightened tensions. The U.S. is in an upswing but it’s also a presidential election year so what gets done, when, and by whom may put the brakes on continued growth. Economic wobbles and cheap oil will keep the loonie down. As world-worries domino their way through the grocery stores, one outside influence may actually be helpful. El Nino. California has been getting some heavy rain this week which could stabilize drought-starved fields and allow farmers to increase production. There’s no doubt that all this underscores the importance of supporting and expanding local food production to offset that dreaded grocery bill.

Media dealt fairly with Harper Re: Passages of 2015: Stephen Harper (Chilliwack Progress, Jan. 6). I read Tom Fletcher’s column with great interest as it started out with the theme that we have heard for over a decade that Stephen Harper was treated unfairly by left wing media. Mr. Fletcher goes on to give examples of how the mainstream media now seems to be mindlessly supporting Justin Trudeau and he makes a few points. First he uses the example of the Globe and Mail which is not a leftist publication holding the view that Trudeau’s election promises didn’t add up. He adds that Trudeau promised modest deficits that Harper warned about. He also writes the now aging chestnut about the Liberal plan to bring first, 10,000 refugees by year end and then 25,000 by spring linking this with the Harper government’s plan truly announce in 2015 for 10,000 refugees. Canadians are made well aware by the media that the Liberals have missed their target, and they are very aware of the reasons why. Let’s set the record straight on these assertions in the piece. The media of all stripes were
very generous over the past 10 years in not really calling out the Harper regime for what turned out to be an average of 17 billion dollars deficit year on year for 10 years. As for the Conservative plan to bring refugees, a quick look at Hansard will show that the opposition parties decried the virtually total inaction by Harper on this proposal, in fact mainstream media were, except for a very few pieces, largely silent on this issue and it took an election campaign to wake them up. As for Mr. Fletcher’s statement concerning the possibility that the Liberals would state that their deficits would rise because of inflated Conservative financial forecasts, is he getting this from mainstream press or is this a nice insertion by the writer as a sop to conservative readers? The most interesting part of this piece is Mr. Fletcher’s statement that “wealthy people have a variety of legal ways to reduce their taxable income.” Does Mr. Fletcher really believe that this is the reason that there is a gap in the amount of tax to be paid by the middle class and the rich and this is promoted by mainstream media?
I have looked hard and long to find any mainstream media criticism of Harper for phasing out coal-fired electricity generation. Canadians can thank the Ontario government for doing that, so why does the writer have to link “Canada is Back” to this? Mr. Fletcher writes a bit on “liberalism” in which he uses the example of Harper’s preference for assisting families in the care of their children. I can’t find any references by media that connect Harper with any kind of liberalism. The media during the campaign did comment on the fact that the Liberal Child Benefit was tax free as opposed to the Harper tax back plan. Lastly, the last paragraph in the view asks how Mr. Harper’s program of free trade, small government and low taxes will survive the ...onslaught of media coverage....{my words}. My opinion on that is simply taking in the foregoing facts listed above of the Harper record, the media have been quite muted and fair in their assessment of the Harper years. These are new days Mr. Fletcher. Tell us in your next article what you are cheering for.

Compassion should begin at home Nice to see such an outpouring of compassion for these refugees, I have a bit of a problem when people speak about all these children having suffered because of war raging through their country. Are we a bit hypocritical when we relate to these children, but forget that we have a law that is okay with “abortions on demand,”
where the child doesn’t even have a chance to see the light of day? And what about our own homeless, why are there not more shelters being built. How many people whom make a grand standing of welcoming these refugees, walk past the homeless, not even acknowledging their existence? Or put in a petition to help the veterans to a better pension? After all they
fought for our freedoms and now some live below the poverty level. As for being tolerant, how do we know these people are tolerant towards our way of life. It is not as if I am not aware of the ravages of war, I was very much alive during the Second World War. If the world had come sooner to our plight, it might have made a great difference. And isn’t it better
to fight a war on one’s own turf, then to run and bring the war to another country? I wish these refugees well, and hope they can adjust to our way of life. But to ignore those at home that also need care and help is a gross injustice, just so we can show the world how compassionate we really are.

Lack of Quebec strike coverage not surprising In regards to Ron Murphy’s letter “Quebec strike gets no media attention” (Progress, Jan. 6), what did he expect? It would have to be a pretty slow news day for that to get reported on the other side of the country. I’m pretty sure that
if about 400,000 civil servants and “just folks” decided to take a day off without pay together in Greater Vancouver, it would not get reported in any Montreal newspapers. Do they even know that Canada goes this far past the Rockies?
You can keep reading the papers, Mr. Murphy, some days they’re pretty interesting. Oh, yes, if you don’t read the papers, how did you know that the Montreal story wasn’t reported? Just wondering. Bill Jackson, Sardis, B.C.

Ruth and Naomi’s (RAN) Mission are starting a new recovery program.
The Healing Choices Recovery Group will provide a safe and confidential place for adults to find support and recovery from any of life’s hurts, habits,

form supportive relationships with one another,” said program manager Steve Rowley. Open share support groups will be available for chemical

dependency, codependency, mood disorders (depression, anxiety), anger issues, eating disorders, pornography or gambling addictions, or any other life-controlling issues. “We thought it would be a good idea to take some of the issues that we deal with in our residential recovery centre and open them up to the public,” Rowley said. “Many people are leading quiet lives of desperation.” There are similar faith-based recover y support groups facilitated through local churches, but it can be difficult for people to admit their addictions or frailties to the church that they regularly attend. “Having it at a neutral location - Evergreen Hall - might be more appealing to those who need help, so they don’t have to worry about their security or confidentiality,” RAN executive director Bill Raddatz explained. The drop-in sessions will run weekly until June. The first half of each session will a include faith-based lesson of a particular recovery principle or step, with males and females in a combined group. The second half of each session will break into gender and issuespecific open share support groups, facilitated by group leaders. According to Raddatz, the various “focus group” topics will be developed with some flexibility over the first few weeks, depending on the need. If participants require additional help, RAN will act as a conduit to connect them with a suitable program. The recovery group runs on Tuesdays from 6:30 to 8:30 in the Slesse Room at Evergreen Hall (9291 Corbould St.), beginning Jan. 12. To learn more about this program, contact Ruth and Naomi’s Mission at 604-795-2322 or visit www.Facebook.com/ RANhealingchoices.

The Chilliwack Alliance Church is offering a Parenting Teenagers Course to offer practical tools and advice for any parent or guardian who has the responsibility for a child or teen between the ages of 11 to 18. Lead by retired counsellor and teacher Erma Vietorisz, the program will help parents meet the needs of their teens by assisting them with decisionmaking, handling difficult emotions, setting boundaries, transitioning into adulthood, and more. The course provide plenty of helpful information through video presentations, workbook ($6 cost) learning, and collaborative group discussions with fellow parents. Gain a new perspective in the new year to help cultivate a healthy and happy home. The course runs for five Fridays from 7 to 9:30 p.m., beginning Jan. 15 at the Chilliwack Alliance Church (8700 Young Road). Call Erma at 604-490-7034 to sign-up, or if you require additional information.
Seven-year-old Angus Hurrie and his mom posted his first woodworking project on a Chilliwack bidding site. They were blown away by the community’s response. SAM BATES/ PROGRESS
Young woodworker crafts joy online Sam Bates The Progress We see the entire spectrum of human interaction on social media. Some exchanges make you want to shake your head in shame, others you are immediately motivated to share to spread the positivity. Maureen Vernon posted a photo to a Chilliwack bidding group at around 6:30 p.m. on Dec. 30. The photo showed three pieces of wood, cut and nailed together into the shape of an ‘A’ with a caption that read, “My son’s first creation. He insisted I put it on the bid site.” Like all items posted on the site, group members have 24 hours to bid on the item, at which point the highest bidder ‘wins’ the item. Maureen started the bidding at $2 for her son Angus’ first woodworking project, but she didn’t expect anyone to offer that amount. “I didn’t think it was a good idea,” Maureen told The Progress. Worrying that her son’s feelings would be hurt, she warned him that “more than likely, no one will bid.” It was the first carpentry project that seven-year-old Angus had taken on. Perhaps inspired by his step-mom Shelley’s crafting, Angus requested some tools and spare wood for Christmas. Finding his supplies under the tree, Angus quickly started putting together the ‘A’ for his namesake. Hesitant to post the item online,
Maureen encouraged her son to spend time improving his skills before attempting to sell his handiwork. But Angus was confident. “Post it. It’ll sell,” he had said to her. When Angus returned cheering from a Chiefs victory that evening, he was in for a victory of his own. At that point, the post had received 68 Likes, nearly as many comments, and more bids than anyone was expecting. “It was a neighbour who gave the first bid,” Maureen explained. “I thought that was cute. But then strangers started bidding, too.” When Maureen showed her son that the current bid was up to $10, his reaction was priceless. “It’s okay not to always be right, Mom,” he had said to her. Inspired by the response, Angus hoped to run out to the hardware store to collect additional supplies to build more projects. But it was past his bedtime. The makeshift ‘A’ grew in popularity overnight. It had garnered 369 Likes by the morning, and an outpouring of supportive comments. “What a wonderful piece of art! Take your winnings and make some more!” said Ashley. “Who knows where this little guy will go […] keep it up and good luck to both of you,” said Jeannette. Several group members commended his young entrepreneurial spirit, others requested he make more letters or other creative projects.
Exploring their options for their creative son, Maureen might add a workshop to the spare bedroom, and his dad, a carpenter, will happily teach him the tools of the trade. His mom kept a watchful eye on Angus as he excitedly worked on additional letters in his living room on Thursday morning, as the online bids continued to climb. “I never expected this,” she said. “It’s heart-warming.” Although he doesn’t know yet for what, Angus aspires to be on the cover of a magazine. As one of his favourite artists Justin Bieber resounded from the CD player, he continued hammerin’ and sawin’ away. Maureen spoke of the negativity that she often sees scrolling through Facebook in other groups, and how great it is to see the opposite. “It’s just so sweet. People like seeing the positive, sweet stuff. They appreciate it,” she said. Whether it’s with music, woodwork, theatre or otherwise, it seems more than likely that Angus Hurrie will make something of himself. And it’s clear that he already has hundreds of fans in his hometown. Maureen predicted that these sort of situations will be common throughout Angus’ life. “He’s a good kid,” she smiled. As the 24-hour bidding period came to a close on New Year’s Eve, the closing bid was $20, and the post had received upwards of 450 Likes.
Olivia, Ethan top B.C.’s baby names Olivia is the most popular name for baby girls born in B.C. for the third straight year. The province issued its annual list of top baby names chosen in 2014. Ethan was the top name for boys, edging out Liam, the previous year’s top choice. It’s been a long run of popularity for Ethan, which has been number one or two every year since 2002. Emma, Sophia, Emily and Chloe rounded out the top five names for girls in 2014, while the other top boys’ names were Liam, Lucas, Oliver and Mason. “Not surprisingly Terry was not the most popular boys’ name in British Columbia in 2014,” said Health Minister Terry Lake said. Final statistics for 2015’s names won’t be available until later in 2016, but so far Olivia appears to be extending her streak, while Oliver was edging ahead of Liam and Ethan for top choice on the boys’ side as of Dec. 1. The Vital Statistics Agency reported 44,500 babies born in B.C. in 2014 – 22,957 boys and 21,543 girls.

and divide into 5 containers. Boil 6-8 eggs, peel them and put 2 eggs in each container. By prepping most of your meals for the entire week, you’ll save a ton of time. Each morning, you’ll only need to reach into your fridge and grab a few containers. • Make sure your fridge is stocked up with your regular foods. As you get into the routine of packing your own meals, you’ll quickly come up with a list of staples. Keep those stocked up! • Cook once; eat (at least) twice. Each time you cook, make extra so you can pack leftovers for a meal the next day. If you make enough leftovers, portion into containers and store in the freezer. • Make healthy muffins or protein bars ahead of time. A batch of healthy muffins can become a part of a mini-meal for two to three weeks. • If you have a fridge at work, store some food at work. Hummus, natural nut butter and fruit can be easily stored. When it comes to looking and feeling your best, the less often you rely on meals out, especially when your choices are limited, the better. The occasional work lunch or dinner out can easily fit into a healthy lifestyle, but if you’re out multiple times per week, it pays to take the time to ‘brown bag’ your lunch. If you have a question you’d like answered, please email it to Tanja@ascendfitnesscoaching.com.

Chiefs rough up Rivermen The Chilliwack Chiefs got back on the winning track Wednesday night, thumping the Langley Rivermen 7-2 in a midweek matchup at Prospera Centre. Coming off a pair of weekend losses in Wenatchee, the Chiefs dismantled the Rivermen in a dominant effort that saw seven different players light the lamp. For the hometown crowd, five minutes of this one was more interesting than the entirety of the snoozer these teams played a week ago. Chilliwack and Langley combined for five goals in the opening frame after producing three in 60 minutes during last Wednesday’s 2-1 Chiefs win. The home team got the scoring started just 98 seconds in, with Kohen Olischefski netting his ninth of the year. Darien Craighead started the play at the top of the left faceoff circle, feeding a cross-ice pass to Jeremy Germain at the right faceoff dot. Germain threw it into the goal-mouth where Olischefski popped it past Langley keeper Bo Didur.
With players battling Ger main doubled Chilliwack’s lead with a power below the end-line, the puck was rolling safely behind the play goal at 9:35. Taking a lead pass from Chilliwack net when it took Dennis Cholowski, Craighead a 75 degree bounce off the flew down the right wing and BMO ad and caromed into fired a low shot.

second period clock. Mitch Skapski pulled the trigger, squeaking the puck through Trenciansky as referee Nick Bilko emphatically signalled goal. The Chiefs experienced a scary moment early in the final frame, when Jordan Kawaguchi was shoved headfirst into the end-boards by Langley defenceman Jordan Schneider. The Riverman was punted from the game and booed while he went, while Captain K remained, guiding his team to the final whistle and their 25th win of the year. Craighead scored with 10:54 remaining and Jake Smith with 26 seconds left to wrap up the scoring. At 25-8-4-1, Chilliwack expanded its lead to four points atop the Mainland division, with the Wenatchee Wild in second. Third place Langley has slipped 10 points back, making it a two-horse race for first place. The Chiefs return to action Saturday night, hosting the Trail Smoke Eaters (18-20-0-0) in a 7 p.m. start at Prospera Centre.
There are two home games for the Chilliwack Chiefs this weekend and if things go well they clinch a spot in this year’s playoffs. Granted, making the playoffs this season hasn’t been in doubt for a while now and it says as much about the struggles of the Prince George Spruce Kings and Surrey Eagles as it does the strong play of the Chiefs, it’s still quite an accomplishment to clinch prior to the trade deadline. While the Chiefs can clinch with a win Saturday against Trail and a Prince George regulation loss in Coquitlam, the Penticton Vees can actually clinch one night earlier with a win over the Vernon Vipers. Speaking of the trade deadline we’re just a few days away from Jan. 10, the final day for BCHL teams to make trades. Going into the weekend there are only three teams that look like obvious sellers to me. Surrey, Prince George and Merritt will start to, or have already begun looking forward to next year. We may see some of their better players who are playing their final year of junior hockey moved to teams in contention for a league title. I don’t expect Surrey to be able to do much as they’ve already made several moves with an eye on next year. Looking at the Island division, Alberni Valley and Victoria are in a battle for the final playoff spot. While the likely reward for securing that final spot is a date with the Nanaimo Clippers in round one of the playoffs, neither team is expected to give up a chance at that spot by moving their top players. It was only last year that Alberni finished fourth and built a 3-1 series lead against the Clippers before losing in seven games. It’s a similar situation in the interior with the Vernon Vipers and Trail Smoke Eaters fighting for the final playoff spot and a first round matchup against the Penticton Vees. Trail hasn’t made the playoffs since the 2010-11 season so getting there would be seen as a move in the right direction. For Vernon though, a team that routinely contends (and wins) national championships, I wonder if a likely early playoff exit is something they would bother going all in on. They have some top end players that would likely bring them a lot in return should they decide to move them. As of my writing this Thursday morning the Chiefs have not made any moves. Keep an eye on the Chiefs website, twitter feed and Facebook page to see if they do get involved. As I mentioned earlier, two home games for the Chiefs this weekend. It’s SPCA night Saturday when they host the Trail Smoke Eaters. Sunday’s opponent is Prince George. Sunday’s game is a 5 p.m. start. Fraser Valley Party Rentals will be on site with a bouncy castle for the kids and fans are invited to skate with the team following the game. Skate rentals will be available. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Chilliwack kayakers to appear on Rick Mercer Report The Chilliwack Centre of Excellence has successfully kept it under wraps for more than two months, but now the secret can be revealed. Over the Thanksgiving weekend in mid-October, Rick Mercer and his CBC film crew made a stop in Chilliwack to kayak with CCE kids. “We were asked to keep things low key, which was pretty difficult,” said CCE’s Barb Taylor. “But they spent all day here in little Chilliwack filming for the Rick Mercer Report.” Mercer spent a morning at Cultus Lake learning kayaking basics from coach Jon Allen. Later, he was taken for a wild ride through the Chilliwack River’s Tamihi Rapids slalom course by Chilliwack native and Pan Am gold medalist Jazmyne Denhollander. “The day was peppered with spontane-
