Wet weather opens up emergency shelter beds Sam Bates The Progress In case you haven’t noticed, it’s really wet out there. During a downpour like we’ve had this week, no one should have to sleep outside. That’s why Chilliwack has an Extreme Weather Community Plan. Our local shelters, The Salvation Army, Cyrus Centre Chilliwack, and Ruth and Naomi’s Mission came together in 2014 to create the collaborative plan. Representatives from each agency agreed upon the unified plan which was then submitted to B.C. Housing. As stated on the B.C. Housing website, “The provincially funded Extreme Weather Response (EWR) program provides individuals and families in need with access to a warm, dry place to sleep during extreme weather conditions between November 1st and March 31st.” “We didn’t reinvent the wheel,” said Les Talvio, Executive Director of Cyrus Centre Chilliwack. “We put together a plan that mirrored those in other communities.” Essentially, the community plan equips each agency with extra beds and resources for those who are homeless or at risk of being homeless, to be utilized during extreme weather conditions.

Local SAR volunteers welcome funding lift Jessica Peters The Progress Search and rescue teams across the province are breathing a sigh of relief this week, following a surprise funding announcement from the government worth $10 million. “There was certainly no hint of it,” said Doug Fraser, Chilliwack SAR search manager. “The whole announcement of this funding came as a surprise to everybody in the search and rescue community.” The funding is a one time grant, in addition to the $6.3 million provided annually. It will take months to sort out where that money will be allotted, Fraser noted.
“Some will be held back by the B.C. Search and Rescue Association and kept for use at a provincial level,” he said. The association provides critical programming that benefits all of the 80 SAR teams across the province. It will help with coordination of their Adventure Smart program, and other awareness programs that help educate the public — and hopefully reduce the number of calls SAR teams attend each year. There are more than 2,500 volunteers embarking on 1,300 missions a year in this province. “On its own that’s remarkable, but it’s particularly extraordinary in the context and contrast of just 2,000 search and rescue missions nation-wide, coast-to-
coast, each year,” read a statement from Naomi Yamamoto, minister of state for emergency preparedness. “Our volunteers are remarkable folks doing extraordinary things,” she wrote. “Their teams are an invaluable resource to the people of this province. They donate more than 100,000 hours a year scouring the trails and forests, rappelling into steep ravines and weathering the worst of the elements to help others.” Fraser said the money will go to good use, and help alleviate pressures among their teams in the short term. “Our main focus as a provincial group of search and rescue teams, and through the B.C.

Search and Rescue Association, is to secure improved funding,” he said. They have been in ongoing talks with the government to look at what they call an “alternate support model.” “(This funding) is a great indication that the government is listening to our needs, and I hope that translates into ongoing improvements.” Minister Yamamoto commended the work the volunteers carry out, which often takes them away from their families and regular jobs, at a moment’s notice. “We owe a debt of gratitude to our troops of tirelessly dedicated search and rescue volunteers,” she said. “They brave difficult

Feds tack on more pipeline consultations indigenous people and other relevant evidence. Carr wouldn’t say how much weight would be given factors such as climate change impacts or aboriginal concerns, but he cited past court rulings on the Crown’s duty to consult First Nations as one reason for the change. The NEB has been hearing final arguments of intervenors in the Trans Mountain review this month and aboriginal leaders have repeatedly criticized what they say has been a lack of meaningful consultation on the project. The new rules, billed as a transition step ahead of new legislation to reform the NEB, will apply not
just to new pipelines but to all federally reviewed projects, such as mines and port expansions. Also affected are proposed liquefied natural gas plants under federal review, including the Pacific Northwest LNG project at Prince Rupert and the Woodfibre LNG proposal near Squamish, both in late stages of review. Carr said the process won’t satisfy polarized critics who believe projects should be built either immediately or never, but will improve cabinet’s ability to render a decision. “There are all kinds of Canadians who want to be satisfied that the

Jeff Nagel Black Press The federal government is ordering extra consultations with First Nations and other communities separate from the work of the National Energy Board as part of its prescription to rebuild public confidence in the pipeline approval process. It doesn’t halt the NEB hearings underway on Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline twinning, nor does it delay the NEB’s deadline to deliver a recommendation to cabinet by May. But the federal government has given itself seven months instead

The climate change analysis for each project, to be conducted by the federal environment department, will be made public. The changes effectively add an extra layer of review to plug what the government says were major gaps in the flawed NEB review process left by the Harper Conservatives. “Without the confidence of Canadians, none of these projects will move forward,” Carr said. He said final project decisions by cabinet will be based on science, traditional knowledge of
of the legislated deadline of three to make a final decision on Trans Mountain – that must now happen by December instead of August. The government had previously said it wouldn’t force proponents like Kinder Morgan to restart the approval process all over again. A separate ministerial representative will be appointed to directly consult communities, including First Nations, during the extension period and report back to Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr. Funding will be provided for First Nations to participate. Direct and upstream greenhouse gas emissions linked to the projects will now be assessed, but

While the float home lots are not for sale yet, he suggested that sometime in the future those lots could even house home-based businesses, with the proper rezoning. The proposed cost for a float home lot is currently at $300,000. The owners have talked for many years about improving the marina, and the approval process for developments on the water can take a very long time. The site was approved for

Harrison Marina will never be the same. The commercial marina will undergo a major reinvention beginning this spring, becoming a completely new facility before the summer's over. The changes will start with a new name — it's now being marketed as Alice Springs Landing Marina through local real estate agents Linda and Freddy Marks. They've been hired on to promote and sell the slips that sit on the east side of Harrison Lake, and rolled out buying opportunities to prospective future slip owners at the Vancouver Boat Show over the weekend. That's the other change. There will no longer be annual moorage available, as the owners seek to lease off the slips to long term buyers. Leases are 30 years with prices starting at $40,000 (plus GST) for a 24 foot slip, with an option of purchasing another 30 for $1. The largest slips are 50 feet, fetching $90,000 (plus GST). The number of slips in the marina will drop from the current 220 to 146, making room for 22 float home lots that will face the south end of the lake. Current customers were given the first crack at the bat to purchase a slip, through an email fanned out earlier this month. “We have had very good interest,” Marks said, with a positive turnout at the boat show. “I think this is a good fit

rezoning by council back in 2013, to a comprehensive CD-4 zone, confirms Mayor Leo Facio. He said he's looking forward to seeing the development improve the community's image. “I personally think that anything to upgrade and make that type of marina is going to be very attractive for guests and residents,” he said. The Harrison Marina website includes a list of upgrades to be taking place. “We will have all new breakwaters, walkways and slips, with shorepower to all, also water and sani will be supplied to a number of slips in the future,” the website says. “Slips will range from 24 to 50 feet.

There is to be a Float Home Community using about one third of the waterlot to the south. With this new design our slips are limited to 146. We intend to market all our slips by way of the Longterm Moorage Agreement we have in place.” Feb. 1 marks the end of annual moorage, with refunds available to those who have paid in advance.

Health ministers across Canada say expanding community and home care is the best way to serve a growing senior population, but total home care hours declined last year in three out of five B.C. health regions. That’s Isobel one of the Mackenzie findings in the first annual report on seniors’ services by B.C. Seniors’ Advocate Isobel Mackenzie. Despite growing senior populations across B.C., the report found the total hours of home support delivered to clients was down four per cent in Vancouver Island and Vancouver Coastal health regions, and down 11 per cent in the area served by Northern Health. Fraser Health, the largest region by population from Surrey through the Fraser Valley, had a seven per cent increase in hours in 2014-15, the fiscal year that ended last March. Interior Health, including the Okanagan and Kootenays, saw a five per cent increase. Mackenzie said there has been an increase in seniors Continued: SENIOR/ p9

tial precipitation, the coordinator declares the extreme weather alert, and notifies all local agencies that the plan is active. B.C. Housing will reimburse the agencies a per-client fee for the cost of additional staffing, beds and linens, meals, and toiletries accrued during the extreme weather period. The extreme weather alert was made on Wednesday due to the precipitation forecast, which called for more than 40 mm of rain. “In that kind of torrential downpour, people get soaked and they just can’t get dry,” said Tim Bohr, Community Ministries Director of the Chilliwack Salvation Army. “It’s a genuine health and safety risk that justifies opening additional beds.” The alert stays in place “until the weather improves to the point where it no longer represents a safety risk,” Bohr continued. For example, when a Chilliwack alert was put in place on Dec. 23 for freezing temperatures, it wasn’t lifted until Jan. 10. As of Thursday morning, Chilliwack had received 48 mm of rain in the prior 24-hour period, according to Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. The heavy rain posed a heightened risk in many communities this week. Similar alerts opened additional housing in Victoria, Abbotsford, Richmond, Squamish, Duncan, and Salt Spring Island, to name a few. There is no official notification system in place for Chilliwack’s extreme weather alert, aside from a tweet from B.C. housing. Bohr says that there is no need for one. “When the weather is like that, people will show up anyways.” I n t e r e s t i n g l y, despite the heavy rain, Chilliwack is experiencing record high temperatures. Pannett’s report indicated that the highest temperature on Jan. 28 reached 14.2 degrees Celsius, beating the previous record of 13.9 degrees in 1952. The minimum temperature reached 8.0 degrees on Jan. 28, 1.7 degrees warmer than the previous record of the 6.3 degree minimum in 1992.

cal, unsafe and unprofessional,” registrar Bob Nakagawa said. “Pharmacists are medication experts, and sometimes the right thing for them to do is not dispense a drug. A patient’s motivation to collect redeemable points may inappropriately encourage drug use and can put their health at risk.” One of the objections raised by the college was that insured patients who don’t pay out of pocket might continue to refill a prescription after they no longer need it just to collect more points and the unneeded drugs may be abused or diverted to the illegal drug trade. The case included anecdotal evidence that the top priority of some customers was to find out
how many points they’d get filling a prescription rather than information on proper use or health effects. There were also allegations of pharmacists retroactively dispensing medication to patients who had already missed past days but were eager to get the points “thus generating further revenue for the pharmacist for drugs the patient does not need.” The ruling is a defeat for Sobey’s and Jace Holdings, the companies that operate Safeway and Thrifty Foods stores. Shoppers Drug Mart Inc. was also an intervenor in the case. Incentives have long been forbidden on methadone prescriptions as well as any Pharmacarecovered prescriptions.

Major supermarket chains have lost a court battle to continue offering their pharmacy customers loyalty reward points on prescription drugs in B.C. A B.C. Court of Appeal ruling Wednesday upholds the power of the College of Pharmacists of B.C. to enforce its two-yearold ban on incentive programs like Air Miles and other loyalty rewards. The decision, which overturned a B.C. Supreme Court ruling last year that initially struck down the ban, says inducements from pharmacists are “a matter of public interest and professional standards” for the college, which can prohibit incentives without clear proof of harm to customers. The pharmacists’ regulatory body, which imposed the ban in late 2013, had argued loyalty points are a powerful lure for consumers that can alter their medication buying habits and potentially harm their health. “The College considers the provision of incentives like redeemable points to be unethi-
One of B.C.’s new, state-of-the-art mobile mammogram clinics will be rolling into Chilliwack next week. Sto:lo Nation Health was chosen as the location for the free clinic, with the all new digital screening. The clinic will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 3, for women aged 40 to 79. Those wishing to be screened are asked to register by today (Jan. 29), however, there will be space for a number of walk ins, as well.

Thermafrax™ QUESTION: What is Thermafrax™?
ANSWER: Thermafrax™ treatment is a revolutionary combination of 2 gold standard treatments; Thermage™ and Fraxel™. This treatment produces skin tightening plus skin rejuvenating. Doing them together creates even better results! These are non- surgical treatments and they help correct the most significant signs of aging: sagging skin, wrinkles, skin texture and pigmentation. The Thermage™ portion of the treatment uses radio frequency to safely heat the deeper layers of our skin which in turn stimulates existing collagen. The Fraxel™ laser uses pinpoint laser beams that penetrate beneath the skins surface to eliminate damaged skin cells and stimulates the body’s natural healing process. – Dr. Marianna Snyman

The cost of efficiency Recent health care discussions between provincial and federal health ministers highlight a common lament: How to do more with less. Current health care spending in B.C. consumes more than 40 cents of every government dollar spent. And that amount is expected to climb as our population ages. Controlling those costs is not a new priority. In fact, some might suggest it has become a preoccupation with health care administrators. Instead of delivering the best care possible, they look for the best value. Sometimes the two are complementary, sometimes they are not. There’s little doubt that Chilliwack hospital’s “Home is Best” initiative offers a little of both. The program is aimed at helping people get on their feet and into their homes sooner by providing care and support inside and outside the traditional hospital setting. That encourages independence, and if done properly, promotes better health. But it also frees resources that could be better spent elsewhere. The potential savings have long been identified. It costs roughly $1,200 a day for an acute care bed in a B.C. hospital. Other programs have tried to unclog

a system that too often sees patients occupying expensive beds while there are cheaper options elsewhere. But while it is important to be fiscally responsible, health care in Canada is about more than the bottom line. If we are to save money by moving people back into the community, it is critical that adequate resources be in place to support them. A recent report by the B.C.’s seniors advocate suggests there’s still work to be done. Isobel Mackenzie argues the increase in home care support hours is not keeping pace with the demand. (See story, page 3.) That is troubling news. Several decades ago governments made the admirable decision to close large mental health institutions and move to a more community-centred approach. Unfortunately the enthusiasm for the closure of those facilities wasn’t matched by a commitment to provide local support. Consequently we failed – and continue to fail – some of our most vulnerable citizens. Finding efficiencies within our health care system is a worthy goal. But not if those savings come at the expense of the very people the system is there to help. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress
L OCALLY G LOBAL
First Nations social funding gap needs to be filled No one knew where La Loche was. Most Canadians had never heard of it. Now it’s on the map in the most awful of circumstances. This tiny community of some 3,000 Dene people in northern Saskatchewan exploded on the national consciousness last Friday with the echo of a gun that took the lives of two brothers and two teachers and injured seven others. A 17-year-old male has been charged with four counts of first degree murder and seven counts of attempted murder. Why? No one knows yet. But maybe you could list an accumulation of many social stresses that define life in a remote, northern native village, conditions that threaten to drive a teenager over the edge. This is where suicide is three times the national average, where there is widespread unemployment, substance abuse, lack of
services, and lack of opportunities. And perhaps, at the centre of it all, lack of hope. La Loche isn’t just a forgotten community. It’s invisible. Tragedies – past suicides – simply go unheard of. They are blips of life unaccounted for as mainstream Canadians grab a latte and hurry on. Margaret But fighting against a stereoEVANS typical image, the tight-knit community has been making strides with a jump in high school graduates, a carpentry apprenticeship program, and commitments to improve the town and foster a healthier lifestyle. And, according to reports, it is a credit to the residents’ nature that there was far less anger toward the accused
as profound sadness and a need to learn from what happened. In December, the newly elected Trudeau government committed to resetting the relationship between First Nations and Ottawa. That started with the launch of a national public enquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women. The government also promised to add $515 million annually to funding for First Nations education, lift the 2 per cent cap on funding for aboriginal programs, and implement all 94 recommendations from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. While these commitments find traction the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, following a nineyear study, ruled this week that the federal government discriminates against First Nation children on reserves by failing to provide the same level of welfare services that exist for all other

Progress
Canadian children. Yet it is on reserves where the need for support services for children is the greatest. Lack of services translates into more children in the welfare system. Some 48 per cent of all children in foster care across Canada are aboriginal. The brutal truth is that there are more First Nations children taken from their families and put into care now than at the height of the residential school system! If the Trudeau government increases the funding necessary for adequate and sustainable support services then First Nation families like those in La Loche can get the support they need for their children so that fostering rates are lowered. It’s well known that the lack of psychiatric and other mental health services has prevented opportunities to learn healthy behaviour. First Nations people are just
as capable and skilled as anyone else. Many native bands, located where they can take advantage of the wider Canadian society, have enterprises in shopping centre developments, wineries, mining ventures, casinos, food production, silviculture, timber harvesting, gravel pits, hotel and convention centres, and northern airlines. They have careers as doctors, nurses, lawyers, teachers, hair dressers, and fashion designers. There needs to be a re-design of the funding and delivery of the child care system on reserves so that First Nations people are given the adequate, culturally appropriate services needed. It should be done in a way that enhances their dignity with skills training and employment giving hope to a future that leads somewhere.

Let’s get creative with health care In response to your Point of View, editorial, Health care for tomorrow. It is absolutely right, to infer that our health care system is under funded. Unfortunately, our provincial health minister, Terry Lake, going cap in hand to his federal counterpart seeking more funding, is like trying to draw blood from a stone, especially with the federal government’s over zealous promises on spending. With the federal government promising to spend $10 billion a year or more, of money, than what it collects, and increasing our $700 billion deficit even further, and increasing our interest payments from $34 billion a year now, to $35 billion a year, by the end of its term, makes it obvious that there is nothing left to squeeze. With Canada’s serious economic situation of a rapidly falling dollar, negligible interest rates, and a debt to GDP ratio of 171 per cent, we are on the edge of the abyss. Any prudent economist would obviously suggest to Mr. Lake, that any extra health care funding is going to have to come from within. For far too long now, not only BCer’s, but Canadians as a whole have been taking advantage of, and over using this luxurious system of 100 per cent free
health care, to the point where it no longer can sustain itself. If we are going to maintain the type of health care that we are used to, or, as many would suggest is needed, to step it up a notch, we are going to have to become extremely creative, as well as bite the bullet while doing so. Many practitioners will concur, that many of us over use the system to the point of stymying it. We don’t really have to go to the doctor, every time we get a cold, the flu, or stub our toes. That this overuse of the system back logs it, and creates an incredible amount of wasted funding. It has been suggested, though with unpopularity, that maybe a nominal user fee be placed on those who can afford it, for primary visits to Health Care facilities. Personally, a $20 fee to visit my GP, wouldn’t break my bank account, or most people’s for that matter. But, it would deter me from visiting my Health Care Professional, just because it’s free, or for speculation. Obviously, those who are at the least end of the income scale, would continue with the system as it stands, to guarantee they have the same access as everyone else.
This is only one creative example of raising funds for the system, but it would pump a vast amount capital back into it. We have also enjoyed some of lowest tax rates in the country, as well as in the G7. Make no mistake, if we are going to continue with this high degree of social services, we are going to have to start to pay for them one way or another. Our current system of medical premiums, collects more funds than what is collected, by the B.C. government in corporate income tax. This is grossly unfair, and needs to be corrected. Also, as Mr. Lake, has suggested, it’s unfair that B.C. residents receive the same rate of compensation as the much younger province of Alberta. So a formula must be introduced to make up for this disparity of demographics. As well maybe, a one year, or an appropriate waiting period be placed on new residents, as to prevent, new-comers moving here just to take advantage of the climate. All in all, there’s an incredible amount of creative work to be done. If we don’t get on with it soon, the alternatives will not be pretty.

He is known as a great symbol of the non-violent change movement. People like Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr. took their lessons from his doctrine of “truth force” – the belief that the truth was a powerful force, and that in the end, truth cannot be defeated. Through it, British control of India was destroyed. The man, of course, is Ghandi. However, the story I’m about to tell is not about Ghandi, the hero. It’s about Ghandi, the spousal abuser. I’ve been reading his book My Experiments with Truth. It is full of Ghandi’s humility and his revelations about his own preoccupations and weird ideas, many of which didn’t pan out. The beauty is, he admits them. One of the more startling confessions from this man of peace is his telling of an enormous fight with his wife. Ironically, he claims she wasn’t being charitable enough to guests in his house, and in a rage he tried to throw her out. Yes, physically. She begged him to let her stay, and finally he came to his senses. He doesn’t tell the reader, but I wondered, “Where were the children in all of the chaos? Did they hear the fight, observe the struggle, and were they scarred by it as so many children are by the dysfunctional relationships of their parents?” The story reminds me that there is a public and a private side to everyone. Unfortunately, we often behave the worst in the rela-
tionships that really should mean the most to us. Another truth emerging from the Ghandi domestic quarrel is that people truly can change. Sometimes it is just a matter of maturing and sometimes it is a result of insight. When Ghandi came to his senses, he could see that throwing his wife out the door for not being charitable, Rob was in itself not LEES a charitable act. Ghandi embodies the principle that not only can people change, but that change is a constant – and often a necessity – in life. What if someone could get to the Ghandis before they had their big fight? Could something have been done to educate them, and to gain the insight without the pain? Could the Ghandi fight have been prevented altogether? In Chilliwack, the lead social agency dealing with domestic violence is the Ann Davis Transition Society (ADTS). The word “transition” picks up the theme of change. Over its many-year history, ADTS has been there for women fleeing abuse, and still is. However, it has also changed. It has become more sophisticated. Because most violence in relationships is perpetrated by men, the agency knows that men also need
help, as do the children involved. As a result, ADTS now offers programs for every member of the family. For almost 20 years, ADTS has supported prevention courses for couples. Building Healthy Relationships is a series of three Friday night and Saturday courses on topics such as communication, managing conflict and enhancing connection. Executive director Patti MacAhonic has picked up where her predecessor Bobbi Jacob left off. Over the past 2.5 years, Patti has endeavored to take prevention to another level. This has included a new partnership with Star FM to raise awareness about this critically acclaimed program. It seems a natural progression, but it isn’t something that feminist, domestic violence focused agencies often do. ADTS has a committed, caring and professional staff. Like all notfor-profit social agencies though, they rely on support and partnership with concerned citizens who will volunteer and contribute funds and resources to ensure sustainability for this important program. They cannot change the channel to prevention without the support of all of us. For more information, please visit their website at www.anndavis.org.

process that led to a decision was a good one, a fair one and they had their say.” The Wilderness Committee criticized the government’s failure to include downstream carbon emissions that make up the bulk of the climate impacts of new pipelines. “A true climate test would leave regulators with no choice but to reject these projects,” campaigner Peter McCartney said. “Tacking on some window dressing doesn’t make these projects any less of a climate catastrophe.” Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson said he’s concerned pipeline construction may be delayed, but agreed public confidence in the process is crucial.

served by home care workers in most regions, but the hours received by each has declined. She said the data on hours reflects what she has heard from seniors around the province, who report that their home care services are being reduced. “That validates to a large extent what people are saying, which is ‘I can’t get meal prep, they cut my bathing, they cut out my housekeeping’,” Mackenzie said.
Health Minister Terry Lake, who emphasized the need to move away from the acutecare hospital model to community and home care at a recent health ministers’ conference in Vancouver, said the report is “a snapshot,” but acknowledged there is more work to do. Lake said the 11 million hours of home care support provided last year is up 35 per cent since the B.C.

Village of Harrison several years, but are not included in the current plans, except in mock-up illustrations of the marina. “That’s not happening right away,” Marks explained. When the plan was brought to council in 2013, it was not without debate. A lively public hearing was held in July, drawing in both supporters and
detractors. The marina was already in need of repair then, according to one of the owners, Warren Moser. “It’s been here a long time,” he told Black Press at the time. “It’s tired and needs updates.” The redevelopment will result in development cost charges paid to the Village. In 2013, it was estimated that plan (with a condo unit) would include about $876,000 in DCCs.

Community Education Awards help students achieve their goals new high school graduates, and returning students alike. Applications for the Prospera’s 2016 Educational Awards have been sent to high schools and postsecondary institutions throughout the province and are also available on Prospera’s website atwww.prospera. ca along with complete details about the program. Each application must be accompanied by a short video. The deadline for application is March 1, and the awards range from $1,000 to $2,000 within five different categories. The Credit Union Foundation of BC also offers a variety of bur-
saries and education awards for students in B.C., funded by credit union members. Last year, Prospera members received more than $4,000 as a result. The deadline for applications for the winter semester is February 15. For information on these awards and an application form, visit www.cufoundation.org. Prospera Credit Union supports education in other ways within our community as well. In 2016, Prospera will continue to partner with Junior Achievement to deliver their Economics for Success program which encourages middle and high
situations and the worst of Mother Nature’s unleashing of wind, rain and cold. They work in the darkness of night and certainly some dark situations. They work in some of the most complex terrain and most challenging search and rescue environ-
ments in all of North America, and are recognized nationally and internationally for meeting that challenge.” So why do they do it? “We’re doing it because we love making a difference in our communities,” Fraser said. “And when we get an opportunity to reunite family members and

Gerard Rowley: A little less pain in the world
Friends of the Library hosts their annual Puzzle Sale Feb. 5 and 6 at the Chilliwack Library. As they continue to accept puzzle donations, the stacks have taken over the hallways. SAM BATES/ THE PROGRESS
Pining for puzzles? Friends of the Library have the missing piece Sam Bates The Progress The time has come to find the perfect piece. Or 1000 of them. The annual Friends of the Library puzzle sale takes place next weekend. But the walls and offices within the Chilliwack Library are already lined with stacks of brightly coloured boxes. Friends of the Library volunteer Claire Bouchard has participated in the annual puzzle sale since its inception in the late ‘80s. Right from the beginning, “the community has always been really great in providing the puzzles,” she said. On average, the “puzzlers” in our Chilliwack community will donate between 1,200 to 1,500 puzzles during the collection period of January. Last year, they received 1,681. Claire estimates that they’ll have similar numbers this year, but won’t know for sure until all of the puzzles are categorized and counted on Feb. 3. For every puzzle that someone donates to the fundraiser, the donor
will receive a 50 per cent off coupon to redeem at the sale. The puzzles themselves are inexpensive, starting at $1 for children’s puzzles, $3 for an average 1000piece, and up to $5 for larger, or three-dimensional puzzles. But due to the popularity of the sale, those loonie and toonie purchases add up to generate an immense impact. Last year, the Friends of Library raised $4,793 from the puzzle sale, “and it all goes right back into the community,” Claire explained. Money raised through Friends of the Library goes toward upgrades to equipment, furniture, toys and programming at Chilliwack’s three libraries. The annual puzzle sale, book blitz and quiz night have financed valuable items including prizes for the summer reading clubs, puppets and lego for children’s play, new shelving units, holiday decor and supplies, and cozy mats for story-time. The great team of volunteers will be busily organizing, pricing and setting up next week to make sure they’re good to go.
“Believe me, but 10 a.m. on Friday… stay out of the way,” Claire laughed. “It’s great to see the enthusiasm,” but she’s seen a squabble or two break out over the years. Puzzles are available for all ages and all interests, including borderless, shaped, easy-grab and complex 3000-piece challenges that will take up an entire living room. With the rainy forecast in our sights, a day of puzzling indoors with a cup of tea sounds like a good idea. Puzzles will continue to be accepted through the end of January. The puzzle sale takes place Feb. 5 and 6 at the Chilliwack Library (45860 First Avenue) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Volunteers can accept cash or cheque only. Claire would like to thank all of the Friends of the Library volunteers as well as the library staff for their support. For more information, contact the Chilliwack Library at 604-7921941.
We all experience pain in one form or another at some point in our lives and it isn’t something that we particularly want or enjoy. However, without delving into the subject at a philosophical level; suffice to say, pain and hardships can help us by strengthening, renewing or restoring our life. And, as in Gerard Rowley’s case, it can also present new opportunities. Gerard was born in Newcastleunder-Lyme, England and as a youngster, his family moved around quite a Ana bit. “It was difMACEDO ficult because if I wanted to visit my friends, I had to travel to see them. But, if I wanted to keep in touch with them, that’s what I had to do,” he said. His father owned a steel fabrication business and from the time that Gerard was about 13, he began working. “I actually started out on a farm. I milked the cows, cleaned up after them and let them out. In those days, they were out on the pasture and they had to come back in twice a day to be milked. I also delivered milk and had a paper route as well. I needed the money so that I could spend it on clothes and records and stuff,” he laughed. The middle of three children, Gerard admits that he wasn’t particularly fond of school. “I didn’t understand the importance of it. I liked to have fun. Many of my teachers were too Victorian. I think that if they had made learning fun, I would have enjoyed it. I was always keen on history and I did enjoy reading,” he explained. For four years, Gerard attended technical college where he studied mechanics. “I worked in a garage after that and then got into welding and then fabrication.” He married wife Julie in 1986 and four years later, the couple immigrated to Canada to escape both the downturn in the British econo-
my and the hustle and bustle of English cities. “After we arrived here, looking for work was rather difficult. My qualifications were not recognized so I had a decision to make. I could either go back to school and train for the same thing or retrain altogether,” he said. Then, Gerard injured his back and the pain forced a major change in his life. “I was moving a couch into an elevator. I heard my back click and pop and then came the numbness and pain. For six months, I was in extreme pain. I couldn’t stand, I couldn’t sit and I couldn’t sleep. There was just no comfortable position,” he recalled. To try and alleviate the pain, he began receiving massage therapy and one day, he began telling the massage therapist that he was looking for work; preferably in the medical field. “He recommended that I look into massage therapy and once I looked into it, I realized that it was something that I wanted to do. The other thing was that because of my injury, I had a good perspective of what people feel when they’re in pain,” he said. In 1995, Gerard returned to school and two years later, graduated from the West Coast College of Massage Therapy. “I started my career as a Registered Massage Therapist in early 1998. It has been a good career and very rewarding. I like to help people out,” he smiled. He initially worked at Chilliwack Chiropractic Health Clinic but eventually moved out on his own. He now operates his own clinic on Chilliwack Central Road, just east of Prest Road. “I was with the clinic for 13 years and they were good people but sometimes it’s just time to move on and do your own thing,” he said. Gerard is a very calm, kind and straightforward guy; a demeanour that undoubtedly helps him in his career. When he has some down time, he enjoys spending time with his wife and two, lovely children. “I also still love my books,” he smiled.
‘Ready, Set, Learn’ open houses coming to local schools With kindergarten registration underway, it’s a good time to introduce little ones to the school environment. All 20 elementary schools in Chilliwack are hosting Ready, Set, Learn open houses throughout the month of February, giving families with young children a chance to
explore the school. Parents will be given plenty of information about early childhood development, while the kids get a chance to play fun games. The school district says families and their preschoolers who attend will have an opportunity to begin positive connections with the school
system, and to learn more about programs and services available in their local school and throughout the community. They’ll learn how to prepare their children for school, receive information about typical development of a preschooler, and gain tips for supporting their child’s learning in key
areas of development. Host schools also provide additional resources to help influence school readiness. Ready, Set, Learn events can include school tours, visits to the school library, interactive play activities for children and their parents, information sessions for parents and caregivers, presentations by commu-
nity agencies and other activities that support preschool aged children’s learning. The first schools to have open houses are Cultus Lake and Evans on Feb. 2, Cheam and Rosedale on Feb. 4, and Unsworth on Feb. 5. For details on all schools, dates and times, visit www.sd33.bc.ca.

Black Press scholarships help students get down to business Some of the financial pressure faced by prospective business students in B.C. can be reduced, thanks to David Black, owner of Black Press. Graduating high school students in 37 of the province’s school districts, intending to study business at the University of Victoria Gustavson School of Business, can apply for a $5,000 scholarship. The Black Press Business scholarship is awarded based on academic merit, leadership and a demonstrated desire to make a positive difference in the world. Students must apply to the Gustavson School of Business, Bachelor of Commerce Program before Feb. 28 to be eligible. Information about the scholarship is online at: www.gustavson.uvic.ca/blackpress. The scholarship was established in 2008 by Black to give students from across the prov-
ince access to a business education. Black chose the Gustavson School of Business because of the innovative program format. Students spend their last two years of their degree
fully immersed in the business school where they can specialize in entrepreneurship, service management, international business or management where they customize a program that suits
their interests. Every student takes at least two paid co-operative work terms, has the opportunity to participate in an international exchange, and learns about sustainable business practices.

Tame the night time feeding frenzy I eat well throughout the day. But at nighttime, my cravings go wild and my evening turns into a feeding frenzy. I’m not hungry, but I just can’t seem to stop
nighttime eating. What can I do? I just know that if I’d stop nighttime eating I’d lose weight. Sound familiar? If so, you’re not alone. Nighttime snack-

ing is one of the most common struggles my clients have when it comes to their eating habits. It comes up time and time again in our nutrition coaching sessions at Ascend Fitness. Personally, it’s my biggest struggle as well. I also recently recorded a podcast on the topic where I discuss night-time eating in more detail than can be covered here. If you’d like to listen, go to www. tanjashaw.com/22. Ready to ditch nighttime snacking? Here are the steps to take action: 1. Find out why you want to stop. Do you feel out of control? Do you wake up feeling lethargic with a sugar hangover? Do you have weight you want to lose and you know that your nighttime eating is the main reason you’re not
losing? The reason I want you to discover your why (and make it a big why!) is so you can move onto the next step, which is…. 2. Keep a food journal. Most people cringe Tanja when I recomSHAW mend they keep a food journal. So please, revisit step 1 if you’ve checked out and think that you can overcome your nighttime eating without one. Here’s the lowdown: I don’t want you to track calories, I don’t want you to obsessively measure every morsel of food you put in your mouth. I want you to
write down what you eat, approximately how much, and the situation (your environment, thoughts, feelings, why you’re eating, how hungry you are). With a food journal, you can objectively look back at your day and see if you can make any changes to nip nighttime snacking in the bud. Many times we are so strict and ‘good’ with our eating habits during the day that we are actually hungry at nighttime. Skipping meals or not eating enough fat and protein during the day can also lead to nighttime hunger. Or, we rush through our meals during the day, scarfing them down in front of a computer or while scrolling Facebook, distracting us from getting any pleasure from our food. Continued: SNACK/ p19

SOROPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL
Feel like snacking? Have a plan SNACK from page 18 The result: nighttime hunger. Use your food journal to bring awareness to your eating habits and to look for trends. 3. Discover why you eat at night. The food journal will help to determine if you’re actually hungry, and if you got enough pleasure from your food during the day. The next step is to determine why you’re eating. If you’re hungry, then plan to eat a bedtime snack. There’s nothing wrong with a planned, balanced nighttime snack. The trick is to plan your snack ahead of time - not to wait until the nighttime eating demons come out! Most often, we eat at night not because we’re hungry, but because we’re bored, lonely, out of habit, we need to unwind, or for the pleasure we get from eating. In other words, we’re eating for a reason! And it’s not enough just
to ‘stop’ eating; you need to replace it with something. Again, the key is to plan ahead. If you’re bored, what can you do instead? If you’re lonely, what can you do to feel connected? If you need to unwind after the kids go to bed, how else can you do this? If you need pleasure, what else would make you feel good? Here are some ideas that clients have used: • Drink a hot cup of tea in a beautiful tea mug. • Watch a funny TV show. • Take a yoga class. • Write in a journal. • Go to bed (maybe you’re tired!) • Have a planned snack but make it a healthier version. Be sure to set yourself up for success with all the ‘tools’ you need to overcome nighttime eating. For example, you have tea in your cupboard; you have a nice journal to write in,

and so on. For a worksheet to walk you through the steps, go to www. ascendfitnesscoaching.com/ nighttime. 4. Set up a system of reminders. Despite best intentions, and planning ahead, you can still find yourself in front of the freezer, eating straight from the ice cream carton. It happens. We forget. And that’s why setting up reminders ahead of time is so important. I’m a big fan of simple sticky notes. Write a message to yourself such as “You are strong” or “How do you want to feel tomorrow?” or “Fuel your body” or “Eat with gratitude”. The sticky notes will serve as a reminder in the moment. Keep the reminders positive, especially if you have kids or young adults living with you. Also, change the sticky notes from time to time. If you see the same message over and
over again, it will become part of the background and it will not be as effective. 5. Ditch the ‘all or nothing’ mentality. Finally, let go of perfectionism. If you ‘slip up’ and start mindlessly snacking at nighttime, don’t continue to polish off every morsel of ‘contraband’ in your cupboard so that you can make the failure official. Or worse, don’t keep going for days so that you can start fresh on Monday. Allow yourself to ‘start again’ immediately. With a little bit of pre-planning, you can tame the nighttime feeding frenzy. I’d love to hear how it goes for you!

Following a tough year in 2015, markets have had a rough start to the new year. Stocks, corporate bonds and commodities are in a slump, and behaving as if the global economy is headed for a recession. We think investors are overreacting. While the global economy has challenges, there are bright spots too. Slower economic growth is quite possible, but a global recession is unlikely. More importantly, the odds of an economic slump in the United States are especially low. Investors are emotional, and it’s human nature to extrapolate trends and develop theories to explain whichever way the wind is blowing. Moreover, because it’s also normal to find comfort conforming to consensus opinion, it’s not surprising that investors are panicking in the face of poor market action and pessimistic media coverage. Still, it’s important to remember that fear and greed are powerful emotions that cause people to overreact. History teaches us that investors tend to get carried away buying when markets are high and rising, and selling when securities are depressed and falling. During the good times, it’s the most optimistic prognosticators that get all the media coverage. Remember Jeff Rubin, then CIBC’s chief economist, proclaiming in the summer of 2008 that oil would go from US$140 to US$200 per barrel? It turned out to be top-of-market talk!
Chilliwack
A-LIST
Now that the momentum has changed direction, it’s the pessimists that are grabbing the headlines. As markets were correcting in January, Morgan Stanley predicted that oil could drop to US$20 a barrel; Macquarie Securities lowered its 2016 target for the Canadian dollar to US$0.59; and the Royal Bank of Scotland released a report titled “The bears have killed Goldilocks” telling clients to sell everything except high-quality bonds. It’s alarming stuff and it’s understandable why investors are concerned. Still, in time the predictions will likely prove to be as silly as $200 oil. Reacting to the hype is rarely a good strategy. Rather, it’s best to focus on underlying economic fundamentals and stick to your long-term investment plan. If anything, now is a good time to add to equity positions rather than get trampled rushing for the exit with the crowd. For a list of seven reasons to stay the course, contact us at 604-858-2455. It’s hard to know when the panic for the exit will end, as predicting the madness of crowd behaviour in the short term is futile. However, in the medium and long term, we are confident that economic fundamentals will override investor sentiment. There are economic headwinds and tailwinds, which make it hard to be overly pessimistic or optimistic regarding the global economic outlook. Slow, muddle-through growth remains the most likely path for the world economy. If our forecast is correct, investor alarm will prove unwarranted and stocks will recover. If you are concerned about market volatility, please join us at Odlum Brown’s 22nd Annual Address on Tuesday, February 23 in Chilliwack. This unique presentation will highlight why Odlum Brown stands apart from the crowd when it comes to providing sound investment advice. For more information or to RSVP, call 604-824-3376.

Ex-Chief hammered for high hit Ex-Chilliwack Chief Jake Hand has landed in some hot water in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association. Hand, a first year NCAA player with the Lake Superior Lakers has drawn a one-game suspension for delivering a hit to the head of
a Minnesota State opponent during a Jan. 23 game. Hand earned an automatic one-game suspension when he was tossed from that game, and now he’ll miss both of this weekend’s games against Michigan Tech. He’ll be eligible
to return to the lineup Feb. 12 when his Lakers take on Bemidji State. Hand is 18 games into his NCAA career, still looking for his first goal. The Ontario native has collected five assists and 25 penalty minutes for the Lakers. See uscho.com
GW Graham’s Jon Steele pulls down a rebound in the face of an Abbotsford Christian defender during a Wednesday night senior boys basketball game at GWG. The top-ranked Grizzlies ran away from the No. 9 ranked Knights. Ryan Trottier had 10 three pointers and a game-high 36 points in a 109-75 romp.
Tough weekend doesn’t show in standings If the Chiefs can earn 22 points in their final 15 games, that would give them first place, writes Jacob Bestebroer The Chilliwack Chiefs endured their roughest three game stretch of the season last weekend, losing twice and tying once. But they came out of it with an increased lead atop the Mainland division. Chilliwack dropped games in Trail (6-4) and Penticton (8-1) before earning a 3-3 tie in West Kelowna. The Wenatchee Wild
were six points back before the weekend started but after losses in Coquitlam and at home to Penticton they are not only seven points back now but they are tied in points with the Langley Rivermen. The Chiefs have just one game left against both Langley and Wenatchee. Wins in those two games would go a long way to
securing first place. If the Chiefs can earn 22 points (a tough task to say the least) in their final 15 games that would give them first place. The most interesting part of the remaining schedule with regards to mainland division positioning is Langley and Wenatchee still play each other four times. The best case scenario for the Chiefs is that they split those games and none of them go into overtime. The Chiefs play a pair of home games this weekend before five straight games over two weekends on the road. Saturday they face the
Surrey Eagles for the final time this season. The Eagles are finishing off another tough season with just six wins through their first 44 games. They’ve lost all six games against the Chiefs this season and have been out-scored 34-4. They’re already eliminated from playoff contention. Prior to the game there will be a video tribute and moment of silence for former Chief Matthew Hutchinson who passed away earlier this month. Sunday the West Kelowna Warriors visit Prospera Centre. Game time is 5 p.m. and
fans are invited to skate with the team following the game. Skate rentals will be available. The Warriors are on a nice little run with four wins and a tie in their last six games. They’ve made the race for second place in the interior division an interesting one as they now hold a two point lead over the third place Salmon Arm Silverbacks. There are a couple ways fans can save some money on upcoming Chiefs games. This weekend if you purchase two tickets for Saturday’s game you get a free ticket for Sunday’s game.
Fans can also purchase a “Final Six” pack which gets them one ticket for each of the final six regularly scheduled home games plus a $10 voucher for the Chiefs store. Price on that is just $69. A reminder again that anyone who had tickets for the Jan. 19 game against Victoria that was postponed can trade them for tickets for any other remaining regular season home game. They are also valid for the rescheduled game which will take place on Feb. 28th at 4 p.m. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

JENSEN
Mary Edna (nee Taylor) Mary Edna Jensen passed away peacefully surrounded by family on January 21st, 2016. She will be remembered for having the heart of an angel and for her quiet and everloving nature. Mary was born in Edmonton, Alberta. She moved to Chilliwack with her family in the 1950’s, where she finished her schooling. She then worked in the family store in Vedder Crossing, where she met her husband Warner. Mary devoted her life to her family. She spent endless hours driving to swim meets and hockey tournaments, keeping the books for the family businesses, and providing a happy, welcoming place for friends and family to gather. Home-made chocolate cookies were always on the kitchen counter. After raising their children in Hope, she and Warner moved to Chilliwack where she found joy with her grandchildren and her puppies. Mary loved walking the dogs in the morning and chatting with her fellow dog-walking friends. Mary travelled throughout much of Canada and the States with Warner in their big rig before retirement. More recently, cruises took Mary, along with Warner, Terry and dear friend Cynthia, to Alaska, Hawaii and through the Panama Canal. Mary is survived by Warner, her loving husband of 49 years, her children Angela (Scott), Darren (Lorna) and Darrel (Robin), brother Terry, grandchildren Tricia, Sierra and Kate, and step-grandchildren Michaella and Keeley, plus extended family and dear friends. Internment and celebration of life will take place on a future date.
