Teen charged in Yarrow murder

■ H ERONS H ERALD S PRING

Clayton Warkentin charged with firstdegree murder A 19-year-old Chilliwack man has been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a 51-year-old Yarrow woman two weeks ago. Clayton Jacob Warkentin was arrested without incident Friday evening, said a spokesperson with the Integrated Homicide Investigative Team in a statement released Sunday morning. Police said the victim and the accused knew each other and characterized incidents leading up to the murder as domestic related. The name of the victim was not released by police, nor the relationship to the accused, citing privacy reasons. Police had originally been called to the home, located in the 42000 block of Yarrow Central Road in the early hours of Feb. 24 to check on the well being of the woman who lived there. When an officer arrived police found her dead. Police called the death suspicious and IHIT was called in to investigate. “Public safety was paramount in this investigation,” Sgt. Stephanie Ashton. “This is a situation where investigators working in partnership with UFVRD RCMP were able to put the pieces together and in just over one week obtain the grounds to make an arrest.” The cause of the woman’s death has not been released. Warkentin is also before the courts on another matter, dating back to an incident in April 2015 in Abbotsford and Chilliwack which resulted in his being charged with fear of injury by another person. That matter is set for trial on March 22.

In an annual spring time ritual, herons have begun nesting at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve in Chilliwack. The reserve hosts one of the largest nesting colonies in the Lower Mainland, with more than 150 nests. The reserve, located at Sumas Prairie Road and Sinclair Road, is open seven days a week.

Time line to a tragedy: New details on Janzen murders Jessica Peters The Progress A shockingly violent day in Rosedale last May left the community grieving, and wondering what led to the death of four people in the same family. Now, a series of coroner’s reports have been released that chronicle the events leading up to the deaths of Randy Janzen, along with his wife Laurel, his 19-yearold daughter Emily, and his sister, Shelley. The reports confirm that Randy was the person who killed the three women, just as he had confessed on Facebook. At about noon on May 7, 2015, Randy posted numerous, lengthy

confessions on the social media site, explaining in detail that he couldn’t watch his daughter in pain anymore and had killed her. Emily, a talented local musician, had been suffering from migraines for about a year and a half. He admitted to killing her, his wife and then his sister. The date of Emily and Laurel’s deaths is believed to be April 28, based on the timeline provided in the confession and the advanced state of decomposition of the bodies. The date of Shelley’s death, at her home in Langley, is believed to be May 5. Moments after he posted the confessions, friends started contacting the RCMP. Shortly after

that, an Emergency Response Team along with fire, police and ambulance crews surrounded the family’s Rosedale home. At 7:20 p.m. that evening, a man identified as Randy Janzen was noticed through one of the windows of the home. While police tried to make contact with someone inside the home, that never happened. A large fire erupted shortly after Janzen was seen, and members of the ERT briefly entered the home to attempt to rescue any occupants. The fire was too intense and they had to retreat, but they had noticed one body wrapped in a sheet on the main floor. The fire destroyed the home, and it wasn’t deemed safe to

enter for a full three days. When the Identification and Disaster Response Unit of the BC Coroners Service entered the home on May 10, they found the bodies of Emily, Laurel and Randy in three different locations. Both women had been shot twice, and Randy had died of a self-inflicted gunshot from a long barrel gun. Shelley was killed with two shots as well. Her body was found on May 7, covered in blankets on the floor of her home. BC Coroner Timothy Wiles mentions the family’s long struggle with migraines in the report, but does not make any recommendations in that regard. Continued: CORONER/ p5

Back to the drawing board for Chilliwack bike lanes Jennifer Feinberg The Progress There won’t be any real uptick in cycling on Chilliwack roads until cyclists feel a lot safer doing it. That was the rationale by Coun. Jason Lum to urge the rest of council to join him in rejecting a “one size fits all” approach to bike lanes, and to put it all back on the table for discussion. “I’d like to strike Alternative 1 from the motion,” he said, throwing out the enhanced bike lane motion recommended by city staff at the last meeting. He took it a new direction. “Instead I would like to see this whole document referred back to TAC (transportation advisory committee) — with all the options on the table,” said Lum. It’s an idea worth exploring more fully, he said. It also came up at city hall

recently during the public engagement portion of the budget discussions, while approving the 10-year financial plan for City of Chilliwack. During the information hearing, Chilliwack resident Janice Balakshin asked council to focus on making Chilliwack a more cycling friendly community for the many commuters and avid cyclists out there. “The real game changer is segregated lanes,” she said at the time. Balakshin noted Chilliwack could easily one day be designated a “cycling destination” and she advocated creating a better network. “I think we need to dig into this a little more,” Coun. Lum told his fellow councillors at the last council meeting. City staff had been tasked by council to research enhanced bike lane options for arterial and collec-

tor roads, in response to mounting public pressure for systemwide improvements, according to the staff report. They measured performance and cost, comparing alternatives to the standard painted and signed 1.5m wide bike lane, which is “unprotected” without any kind of physical barrier separating the lanes of traffic. Chilliwack has 185 km of paved and delineated bike lanes, and over the past decade the bike lane network gets added to when roads are widened or new developments and roads are built, for example. Staff, with the help of a consultant, came up with a recommendation for council to select “Alternative 1 Enhanced Bike Lane” as the approved “alternate” option for Chilliwack. It would cost an estimated $1 million per year, for the length of the 10-year financial plan. But Alternative 1 was not the option

best suited for the high-volume Vedder corridor however. Vedder was described as a “hardcore commuter corridor” so Alternative 1 was for other types of roads. The wider painted lane option was not suited for the Vedder corridor because of: “driveway frequency, high land cost and resulting business impacts, in addition to the limitations to improving the cycling experience on high volume urban roads,” according to the staff report. Alternative 1 provides: “an additional buffer distance” in painted lanes between cyclists and vehicles without introducing a physical barrier, which creates challenges for street sweeping, snow clearing, farm vehicles, and driveway accesses. But Coun. Lum, and ultimately the rest of council, wasn’t prepared to vote for a one-size-fits-all standard by approving the Alternative

1, which is wider than the current standard. “A larger painted barrier doesn’t provide safety from vehicles.” He said the costs of various models could vary widely, and in some cases maybe Alternative 4 was preferable, with its safer physical barriers. In the end, council approved a motion unanimously to refer the matter back to TAC. “It will help move the conversation forward,” Coun. Lum said after it was over in chambers. Coun. Sam Waddington, who chairs TAC, said he was glad to be getting a chance to look at some broader options. He said he agreed that multiple types of bike lane standards were needed, as well as looking at the situation from a cyclist’s point of view. “We have to have provide a Continued: BIKE/ p6

Students invited to ‘give trades a try’ University of Fraser Valley event also featured Regional Skills B.C. Competitions Sam Bates The Progress UFV’s Trades and Technology Centre likely has hundreds of eager new recruits as of March 3. They hosted the annual Try a Trade event, as well as the Regional Skills B.C. Competitions. More than 1,200 middle school students from Langley to Hope rolled up in buses and poured into the university to participate in hands-on demonstrations across a variety of trades. The young boys and girls rewired a basic circuit to turn on a light, they snapped on a mask and tried auto-body airbrushing, and they held a steady hand in the welding simulators. “The idea is to get the middle school students in and exposed to some of the trades out there,” said Associate Dean of the Faculty of Applied and Technical Studies Rolf Arnold. Rather than simply watching as

UFV students showed them how it’s done, the visiting youth were able to take matters into their own hands. “They need to play with it to see if they like it or not,” Arnold added as he lead a tour of the various facilities. While Try a Trade demos took place in robotics, carpentry, automotive, hairstyling and other areas, UFV was also hosting the Skills Canada B.C. competition for the Upper Fraser Valley region, one of 13 competitions across the province. As young visitors manoeuvred through the route, interacting with UFV trades students and building their own souvenirs along the way, the ongoing competitions provided plenty of entertainment. More than 50 high school students simultaneously competed for the top spot in nine different competitions across the campus. Each group had a three-hour period to build, repair, design or craft with

as much accuracy, finesse and skill as possible. “The idea of blending the regional skills competition and all of the interactive school tours and activities is Rolf’s idea,” said John English, Dean of the Trades and Technology Centre. “It’s been recognized as a provincial best practice,” he added, and has been picked up by other participating regions. Automotive students worked on engines and brakes, carpenters framed up small structures, joinery students built elegant benches, and culinary students cooked up seafood chowder and pork tenderloin in the campus kitchen. Upstairs, competing animators and architects raced to create intricate designs and blueprints in the computer labs. Judges carefully assessed their

handiwork in the afternoon before awarding the medals. Top students in each category will advance to the provincial competitions in Abbotsford on April 13. Elementary students had work to do as well, taking part in three junior skills competitions. Grade 5 students built creative bridges with dry spaghetti and glue, which were then weight-tested to see how much they could handle before breaking. In the automotive area, the youngsters put their handmade gravity cars to the test. “Our wheels fell off,” one Grade 6 student laughed as he picked up the painted block of wood at the bottom of the silver, two-lane track. Down the hall, junior robotics competitors built and programmed lightweight robotic devices. “They’re thinking like engi-

neers,” said Dereck Dirom as he provided guidance to the group. “They test [the robots], evaluate, and go back to tweak the program,” he explained. The immersive exposure that students gain from programs like Try a Trade or the Skills B.C. competitions are more than great learning experiences for youth in B.C. They promote the abundance of rewarding and in-demand careers in skilled trades and technology. “They’re engaged. That’s what it’s all about,” Arnold said as he completed the tour. The students are learning in leaps and bounds and having fun doing it. The only problem, Arnold said, is that the day goes by in a flash. Learn more about the competitions at skillscanada.bc.ca.

Chilliwack school district to review alternate education programs former students, as well as staff and parents, are being asked to complete an online survey, which offers plenty of opportunity for personal feedback. The survey is confidential and asks if the programs are meeting the needs of its students. The surveys ask for improvement suggestions, challenges and strengths of the programs. There are also two public consultations coming up at the end of March, open to the public.

Migraines cited CORONER from Front “These migraines were cited by her father as a potential source of psycho-social stress for both Ms. Janzen and her father,” Wiles wrote. “Her father’s confession further suggested that these migraines had negatively impacted Ms. Janzen’s quality of life. As this history was stated as a potential motive for her homicide, it was thoroughly explored.” Wiles reports that Randy Janzen was not seeing a psychiatrist at the time of his death, and there is no known history of either homicidal or suicidal ideation. In 2014, Janzen did report mild sleep disturbances

and psycho-social stress to his family doctor, and attributed it to the stress of the ongoing care of his daughter and her battle with chronic migraines. At the time of their deaths, Laurel Janzen had been using social media to reach out for help, too. “Watching someone I love in unbearable pain everyday for 18 months and I feel helpless,” she wrote on Twitter, adding: #weneedhelp. One of Emily’s last Tweets was just as haunting. “Whenever I start to feel sorry for myself, I just thank God I’m still alive,” she said. “I complain about all the pain, but at least I’m here to feel it.”

physical separation on a bike lane or else no one is going to ride them,” said Waddington. “We don’t want to make cycling into a hero sport.” He’d like to see Chilliwack adopt a cycling mentality like they have in Europe. “Lake many European cities, our urban core is linear and condensed. We have little or no snow clearing, salting, and sanding operations.” Coun. Waddington said he’d like to strike a cycling focused committee including mountain bikers, road riders, casual cyclists and more. He recent-

ly attended a national municipal conference where the subject of bike lanes was discussed. “The consensus was if you do not feel comfortable letting your kids bike to school, you haven’t done your job designing the cycling infrastructure. You have to look at it from a user perspective not just the motorists’ perspective. It’s about how to trans-

form a community into one that views cycling as really important,” said Waddington. Even the language has evolved. The program used to be called “road shouldering” but now it’s the “bike lane” program, which reflects a shift in the thinking. “So in much the same way Chilliwack is known for white water training on the Chilliwack

River, we also have the best opportunity for a comprehensive cycling network. We should strive to be known for that, and that’s why a push for bike lanes is so important.” Coun. Chris Kloot seconded the amended motion. “If we’re going to become serious about getting people on their bikes, we have to do it well,” he said. “I’m excited to see what TAC will bring forth. I definitely think it needs a closer look.” Mayor Sharon Gaetz commented that she appreciated the idea of sending it back to TAC. “It never hurts to have a second sober look,” she said.

Lock it or lose it, RCMP say

Vehicle break in leads to arrest A Chilliwack man remains in custody after being arrested by police for allegedly breaking into a parked vehicle. Keith Frederick Dan, 29, is scheduled to appear in court in early March to face criminal code charges of theft of vehicle contents, and possession of instruments suitable for the purpose of breaking into a motor vehicle. The charges stem from an investigation initiated on March 1, at around 1 a.m. by RCMP officers patrolling in the area of Yale Road and Kipp Avenue. The members noticed a male peering into a parked vehicle. After taking the man into custody general investigation support team and general duty officers quickly linked the suspect to items allegedly stolen from the parked vehicle. “Police conduct proactive patrols throughout the city and remain vigilant for criminals committing thefts from automobiles,” said Cpl. Mike Rail.

With theft of property from motor vehicles on an upward trend, RCMP are sharing some methods to aid with preventing belongings inside of your automobile from being stolen. General Duty and Auxiliary officers conducted proactive patrols through the parking lots of shopping malls in Chilliwack and Sardis during January, making observations of property left in plain view inside of vehicles parked in the lots. In instances where police could see property through the vehicle window a notice was issued as a reminder to the owner to store their items out of sight in their parked auto. Of the 844 vehicles checked police issued 54 notices. Items the officers noted included: • Global positioning systems. • Satellite radios. • Keys in consoles. • Cell phones, iPods, or other electronic devices. • Purses left between the front seats. • A flat screen television on the floor behind the front seat. • Loose change, cheque book. • A dash cam. “Police used this opportunity to educate residents of the community in the importance of locking your vehicle and keeping possessions out of view,” said Cst. Alain Castonguay of the Chilliwack RCMP. Diligence is also required at

Fraud takes its toll

R AESIDE

The old adage that if it sounds too good to be true it probably is remains as relevant in Chilliwack today as it ever has. March is Fraud Awareness month, and across the province residents are being reminded of just how many ways people are trying to separate them from their money. Every year there are a few new techniques, but most have a familiar ring. As tax time nears, there is usually an increase in the number of cases where individuals attempt to present themselves on the phone as representatives of the Canada Revenue Agency. Don’t believe them. According to Danielle Primrose, president of the Better Business Bureau in the Lower Mainland, tax scams were the most popular in 2015. In fact, nationwide, more than 17,000 Canadians fell prey to the scam, says the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre, losing a total of nearly $3 million. Individuals aren’t the only ones susceptible. According to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, fraudsters were able to scam one in five small businesses last year. The federation will be releasing a report later this month on the details of their study and ways businesses can better protect themselves. Here are the other top scams from last year: • Heartbreak Scam: Catphishing; $15.6 Million lost • Prize Scam: Fake Lottery Winnings; $6.5 Million • Financial Scam: Investment Fraud; $6.0 Million • Employment Scam: Secret Shopper, $3.9 Million • Subscription Scam: Free Trial Traps, $2.9 Million • Impostor Scam: Spear Phishing, $5.8 Million • Private Sale Scam: Overpayment/Refund, $5.3 Million • Emergency Scam: Fake Relative Needs Cash, $1.9 Million • Lending Scam: Advance Fee Loans, $989,634 The best defense against fraud is a simple one: caution. Change your passwords regularly and remain skeptical. If it sounds too good to be true…. ~ Black Press

B.C. V IEWS

Canada’s premiers do the carbon shuffle Premier Christy Clark had her dancing shoes on as yet another “climate change” meeting ended in disarray in Vancouver last week. “This is not the end,” Clark assured reporters after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the premiers emerged with no agreement on a national minimum carbon price. No kidding. Trudeau declared victory by announcing the unanimous consent to a “Vancouver Declaration,” which basically pays lip service to the concept of “carbon pricing” and kicks another grand federal election promise down the road. As the rest headed for jets waiting at Vancouver airport, Clark expressed the hope that the public would say “they got together and they made progress.” Did they? Let’s take a look. Going into the WhistlerVancouver stop on Trudeau’s globe-trotting glamour tour, Clark

correctly noted that it’s other provinces that need to make progress. B.C. has a clear price on carbon emissions; it’s been held at $30 a tonne since Clark succeeded its creator, Gordon Campbell. Clark’s advice for other premiers is to follow Campbell’s example of a revenueTom neutral carbon tax, FLETCHER offset by income tax reductions. You won’t build public support for a carbon tax that makes people poorer, she said. Of course that’s what Alberta is doing, at a time when many residents are getting poorer already. Alberta’s NDP government plans to match the rate of B.C.’s carbon tax within two years and spend the proceeds.

Other premiers have more creative definitions for pricing carbon. Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil pointed to transmission lines and power purchases from the Muskrat Falls dam under construction in Labrador, to substitute hydro for coal-fired power. The highest electricity prices in Canada are their “carbon pricing” plan. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall pointed to SaskPower’s Boundary Dam carbon capture and storage project. It is the world’s first coal-fired power station to capture carbon dioxide after combustion. The CO2 is sold to oilfield operators who inject it into declining wells to push more oil out, and the project intends to capture sulphur dioxide and fly ash to process and sell for other industrial uses. Wall is the only Canadian lead-

er to state a couple of inconvenient truths. The purpose of this exercise is to reduce carbon emissions, not to raise tax revenues. And now is the worst possible time to impose more taxes on the oil and gas industry. Clark’s stand-pat strategy on the B.C. carbon tax is going to change this year, as positioning begins for the 2017 election. A B.C. government advisory panel has recommended a 33 per cent increase, conveniently starting in 2018, with annual increases after that. The current seven-cent-per-litre carbon tax on gasoline sold in B.C. is hardly a deterrent these days, as pump prices have tumbled and could stay low for years to come. And with a fragile economy, it seems unlikely that a big boost in carbon taxes will find favour with voters a year from now. The B.C. NDP is trying to

rebuild its credibility on climate policy. NDP leader John Horgan tried to revise the party’s history, claiming in year-end interviews that the NDP didn’t oppose the carbon tax, only making it revenue neutral rather than spending the money on green initiatives, as Alberta wants to do. Alas, the NDP’s “axe the tax” campaign going into the 2009 election is a matter of record. The party’s election platform warned that Campbell’s plan “increases taxes for average families by tripling the gas tax” to its current level. Last week the NDP issued a news release denouncing Clark for presiding over increasing greenhouse gas emissions. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Ministry changes a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;slap in the faceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; I receive disability benefits from the provincial government. Since the initial announcement of an increase of $77.00 per month several weeks ago; then reading bits and pieces in the newspapers here and there; followed by detailed information on the slow-to-be-updated Ministry of Social Development and Social Innovation website, I have learned that it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an increase. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a slap in the face. We arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be any further ahead. Yet Premier Christy Clark claims, â&#x20AC;&#x153;the fact is that everybody on disability will be better off.â&#x20AC;? No matter how many times she repeats that statement, it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to become true. I would like Premier Clark to explain to me how this equates to being â&#x20AC;&#x153;better off.â&#x20AC;? The government is disguising this â&#x20AC;&#x153;adjustmentâ&#x20AC;? as a monthly increase, when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;in lieu ofâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; something we already had; in my case, the Special

Transportation Subsidy (STS). Instead of a lump sum in April, I will receive these funds divided over twelve months plus $11. (People already receiving the bus pass will see their monthly cheques go up $25.) Hardly a figure to send me dancing in the streets. In order to make this transition, the government will prorate the lump sum that I normally receive in April to five months, for April until August. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;increaseâ&#x20AC;? takes effect in September. For some of us, that annual lump sum is used to pay down debt or partially pay for car insurance and maybe even get a haircut. How inconsiderate to announce the reduction two months before we expected the money. We are panicking, wondering how we will manage. I understand the government wants to â&#x20AC;&#x153;make the system fairer for rural residents who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t

have access to bus service.â&#x20AC;? (Social Development minister Michelle Stilwell.) Why doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the government give the STS to those not living within bus service areas (although I had to jump through all the hoops when I applied), let the rest of us keep the bus pass or the STS and bless us all with an actual, long overdue increase? From what Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve read, the government can easily do that and still have surplus and a balanced budget. Ultimately, perhaps the Liberals want to be able to pat themselves on the back by taking credit, while campaigning for the next election, for raising the assistance rate, conveniently not mentioning that they eliminated a near equivalent amount. Most people on disability will decline to publicly address this issue. But, Ms. Clark, disabled people cast ballots, too. And we will vote accordingly. Christene Fitzgerald Agassiz

Stratas need strong contingency reserve There is a lot of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pressâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; these days about strata councils opting out of getting a depreciation report. From what I have read on the subject, a depreciation report buys you absolutely nothing. It is a report by an appraiser who charges for a service but is not held responsible for the evaluation or the execution. A quick look at the Strata, Contingency Reserve Fund tells you exactly how well

the strata owners can manage a major unexpected expense. You do not need a depreciation report. The property insurance on strata is based on full replacement value. The appraiser who evaluates the property is held fully responsible by the insurer for the appraisal report so this is a very reliable evaluation. The balance in a Contingency Reserve Fund (CRF) should be based on

Unsafe cyclists As a motorist living in Chilliwack I am sure I am not alone in noticing the increase of bicycles riding at night on the poorly lit back streets of our city. These riders, in most cases, have no lights, no reflectors and are wearing dark clothing. They can appear from anywhere: the wrong side of the road, going the wrong direction, etc. When I read about crackdowns on seat belt use and distracted driving, it makes me think that this should be added to the list, but perhaps it would not generate the revenue of previous two.

the insurance replacementÂ appraisal rather than on the annual operating costs or on a useless depreciation report. The minimum balance in a CRF is currently calculated at 25 per cent of the yearsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; operating budget; this is a very poor calculating factor for such an important fund. Strata owners would be better off with a factor of the insurance appraisal, say one per cent. If strata had an

appraised value of $13 million, there should be $130,000 in the contingency reserve; if you followed the Strata Act, theÂ CRF would beÂ around $37,000; that will not put a new roof on your building. Â I am sure thatÂ a healthy CRFÂ would be of greaterÂ asset value to a strata, a banker or a mortgage broker than a piece of paper called a depreciation report.Â

CIVL FM Station Manger Aaron Levy (left) and FVMA Coordinator James Kasper are organizing the first annual Fraser Valley Music Awards to celebrate and honour local musicians. Online music submissions are open until March 31. SAM BATES/ PROGRESS

Awards show looks to highlight the best Sam Bates The Progress Grab your picks, mics or drumsticks. The Fraser Valley Music Awards (FVMA) are now accepting submissions. Organized and hosted by CIVL Radio (101.7 FM), this major music event is coming to the Fraser Valley for the first time. It’s an opportunity for exposure, networking, and musical career growth unlike any other in the region. CIVL was granted $50,000 from the Community Radio Fund of Canada (CRFC) back in July 2015 to bring their proposal to reality. James Kasper, founder and producer of the Vancouver Island Music Awards for 11 years, came on board as FVMA coordinator, bringing the perfect mix of expertise that the role requires. “The aim of this event is to inject new life into local arts and culture,” Kasper says. “There is an abundance of great music in the Fraser Valley,

and we want to bring attention to it and bring all facets of the scene together on one night to network and celebrate.” Solo musicians, groups and bands are invited to submit their material online now until March 31 at civl.ca/fvma. Genres of music include rock, metal, electronic, hip-hop, blues, folk, classical, and more. A diverse jury of music industry professionals will bring local and regional expertise to the nominees. “Ultimately, it’s about the music,” Kasper explained. But the judges are looking for more than mere talent in performance. They’ll comb through the nominees for creativity and ingenuity, production quality, live performance ability, even the marketability. Up to 10 nominees will be invited to perform at the big event, and selected musicians will be included on a widely promoted compilation album. In advance of the awards ceremony, CIVL will also be hosting a variety of lead-up events

for networking, education and additional exposure, including a 2016 Battle of the Bands. The FVMA’s are open to musicians of all ages. Youth who are aspiring toward a career in music are particularly encouraged to participate. “We think the talent exists in the Valley at a level whereby the next Arcade Fire or Feist can be from east of the bridge,” CIVL Station Manager Aaron Levy explained. “Our goal is to provide a jumping off point from which they can achieve that level of success.” Organizers and partners are continuing to build the benefits packages for winners and nominees. Prizes include paid gigs, recording time, feature media coverage, industry consultations, merchandise, cash, and more. “As an independent musician, all of that stuff is hard to get on your own, but it’s so crucial in order to take your career to the next level,” Kasper explained.

Aspiring musicians can get stuck in a rut, performing standard bar or cafe gigs year after year without making much progress in their career. The annual FVMA’s are going to be pivotal and climactic for musicians in Chilliwack, Abbotsford and communities across the region. “It’s also a huge way to raise the awareness among the general public of the great music that’s in their own backyard,” Kasper said. The Fraser Valley Music Awards will be held July 16, 2016 at the Abbotsford Arts Centre. Those interested in learning more or participating can access the online application at www.civl.ca/fvma.

New York wants them, Chicago has seen them, and now the Players Guild brings Dainty June and the newsboys to Chilliwack in April. The 1959 Broadway musical Gypsy is based on the memoirs of Gypsy Rose Lee, written by Arthur Laurents, featuring music by Jule Styne and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim. The play tells the complex tale of Rose Hovick and her two girls June and Louise, as they struggle through life in show business. Rose captures the epitome of an overbearing stage mom, pushing her girls at very young ages into the vaudeville circuit, pressuring them to become stars. Vaudeville performances, particularly popular in North America from the 1880’s to the 1930’s, were typically made up of a series of separate, unrelated acts, grouped together on a common bill. The types of acts included everything from vocalists, musicians, dancers, and actors, to animal acts, acrobats, comedians and jugglers. Rose’s youngest daughter June is talented and extroverted, but she’s tired of her mother pressuring her to continue vaudeville acts that she’s grown out of, rather than supporting her in her dream to become a real actress. When June runs away, Louise picks up the slack to support her mother’s dream. But when the vaudeville opportunities dry up, destitute Louise tries burlesque to keep food on the table, which is where she finds success. Continued: BROADWAY/ p16

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey. I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids 15 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here. So I feel like I’m well qualified to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS OF TRUST, LOYALTY & UNDERSTANDING For more than 25 years my business philosophy has centered around building long term relationships with my clients. At the core of this relationship building is an unmatched level of service, accessibility and experience. This elevated level of service has moved clients to refer their friends & family many times over and I’d love the opportunity to show you what I can do.

Is it your time to step into real estate?

Buying a home for the first time can be a formidable prospect and it is hard to know where to start. Before making the leap, it is important to familiarize yourself with some basic home-buying principles. The transition from being a renter to owning your own home requires some changes to your lifestyle. If you are planning to live in the area and you like the thought of taking care of your own property then you are ready to own your home. The first step to buying is to find a lender and get pre-qualified for a loan. Call a local REALTOR® and ask them to recommend a lender with whom they have a good working relationship, or visit your current financial institution. Your lender will help you get your pre-qualification and will also help you decide how much you can afford. Since buying a home is probably the most expensive purchase you will make, calculating what price you can afford is extremely important. Many buyers experience needless anxiety about the prospect of being turned down for a loan. The truth is that lenders are always looking for creative ways to get buyers into the home of their dreams. One of the first things they look at is your household income. What mortgage payment will your income support? They look at the total amount of your income and how stable it is (straight salary, commission, bonuses and/or overtime). They also consider the relationship between your income and expenses. Their experience suggests that your fixed housing expenses should not be more than a specific percentage of your gross monthly income. Your down payment and credit history are also carefully considered.

With many successful years of Chilliwack realty experience, the strength of Wendy’s business is built on a solid foundation of TRUST. Wendy can be counted on to work hard, provide current professional knowledge and to do the right things to make your real estate experience the best ever.

It is a career I truly love and in that time I’ve really enjoyed working with all my clients from first time buyers looking for their first home, to seniors looking for their perfect retirement home. Whether you are thinking of BUYING or SELLING, let me put my years of experience and knowledge, along with the excellent service I provide, to work for you! Thank you to all my clients, friends and family for your continued business and trust in me over the years. All of you are very special to me. The REALTOR® who always goes the extra mile!

The next step is the house-hunt. Make a list of what you are looking for: Where do you want to live? What kind of neighborhood do you like? What kind of house do you want? Make a list of features that you absolutely cannot do without in your home and a list of what you would like to have, if possible. Bring your list to your REALTOR® and they will help you find homes for sale that fit within your parameters. One of your best allies will be your REALTOR®, who will guide you through all the details and possible pitfalls in the home buying process. A common pitfall that first time buyers often fall into is “Buyer’s Remorse”. Ask yourself, “Am I really ready to buy a house?” “What is holding me back?” If you are worried that you won’t be comfortable with the payments, ask your REALTOR® to show you something in a lower price range. If the houses you’ve seen don’t have all the qualifications you are looking for, shorten your list of “must-haves” and remember that no house will be your perfect dream house in every detail. Choose a house you can imagine yourself turning into a home and then take the plunge. If you find yourself waking up in a panic the night after you signed the papers or wondering what on earth you have just done, don’t worry, these are common reactions. Buyer’s remorse is a temporary affliction and will pass as soon as you move into your new house and begin to experience the wonderful benefits of having a home that is all your own.

Elder in the Making takes the road to reconciliation

The Progress Two young urban dwellers, an indigenous filmmaker/producer named Cowboy Smithx and a Chinese-Canadian director named Chris Hsiug, embarked on a spiritual journey across traditional Blackfoot territory on the road to reconciliation. The result is the film, Elder in the Making. The documentar y feature film, Elder in the Making, is part of the Sto:lo Cultural Experience Series this week with a local screening, Wednesday, March 9 at 7 p.m. at the Sto:lo Resources Management Centre. The director of the film is Chris Hsiung. “Elder in the Making is my personal way of exploring the forces of history large and small that has led us to where we are now,” he said.

Hsiung speaks to the viewer (and educators who may use the film) directly. “It is an invitation for you to connect with a rich and diverse aboriginal culture that has much to share about our home and about our relationship with the land. “Reconciliation is a multi-generational affair that requires an ongoing repair and renewal of a relationship with the people that helped build our country. “It is my hope that you can be a part of it.” It leans on ancient history, and the words of modern-day elders who the filmmakers consult for guidance. Cowboy Smithx is an Indigenous filmmaker of Blackfoot ancestry from Southern Alberta. He was the youngest recipient of a Blackfoot Arts Award, recognized for his creative work in

Together they find the “beginnings of the long road to reconciliation” between indigenous and non-indigenous people. The filmmakers invite all residents of North America to explore “the tragic and hopeful history” of their home. The two unlikely

Time continues to Áy by at a huge rate doesn’t it? March already, daylight saving time will be here next! I presume that most people have heard of Helen Keller at one time or another. In 1925 Helen Keller was the keynote speaker at our International Convention in Cedar Point Ohio where she challenged Lions to be the Knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness. If anyone wonders why the Mt Cheam Lions and the Stellers Jay Lions are spear heading the project to fund new equipment at the Regional Eye Centre at Chilliwack General Hospital, we are answering Helen Keller’s challenge. We are asking everyone to join us in raising the $600,000 for this project, which we are well on our way to achieving. If you wish to contribute there are many ways to do so, one of the easiest is to simply go to our website www.mountcheamlions.com and click on the link at the top of the page below 100 which will take you to a page where you can make a donation via PayPal. We are issuing tax receipts for donations. There will be a number of fund raising events that you will be hearing about in the very near future. Feel free to join in on the fun for a great cause. This time of the year is Convention Season in our Lions organization. Here we call them Spring Conferences. Two weeks ago I was at one in Manitoba, it was billed as a Mid-Winter Convention which at -22C certainly seemed appropriate to me. The Conference in our area is going to be held in Abbotsford the second weekend of March, I know it won’t be -22C there! Our monthly “All you can eat” spaghetti supper continues to be a great social evening. Usually it is held on the last Friday of the month, in the month of March, the last Friday is Good Friday so we are moving the dinner to Friday the 18th. I’m not sure if that is forward or backward.

ANSWER: This is a very popular question in dentistry today; one which does not have a simple answer. Silver fillings are composed of a variety of metals including: mercury, silver, tin, and copper. Composite fillings are made of a combination of dimethacrylate monomers(acrylic) and silica fillers (glass). Both options have their indications and limitations depending on the circumstance. Amalgam fillings have been around since the early 1800’s. It’s quite amazing that for the most part it’s composition is relatively unchanged. The most controversial aspect of the amalgam filling is the mercury component. Even though there is no scientific consensus to date linking any ill-health effect to the mercury release in dental amalgam restorations, some individuals choose to remove these fillings and replace them with non-amalgam like materials. Generally, removing a sound filling for the sole purpose of replacing it with a

white filling is not recommended. Any time a tooth is drilled on certain inherent risks need to be understood. Irritation to the tooth can create sensitivity(transient or long term which can potentially lead to the need for root canal treatment). Small craze lines can develop in teeth which overtime can lead to crack formation. This may then require crown treatment, which again may create a sensitive tooth! However, if a situation exists like decay or a poor seal around an amalgam, then replacing it with a white filling is at this time possible. Placing a white filling for the first time on a tooth is preferable(especially if it is small) because the amount of tooth structure removed will be less than it would be for a silver filling. It is the bonding of the composite to tooth structure that allows a more conservative drilling approach. Silver fillings are ‘wedged’ into a space in the tooth that is created by drilling. This space has to be of a certain size for the material to be durable; this space is usually larger than for a composite restoration. If you have a concern regarding the amalgam filings in your mouth it is best to speak with your dentist to see what the best approach would be for you.

Assisted living facilities in B.C. will soon be able to offer more services to seniors and disabled people to stay independent longer. Health Minister Terry Lake introduced changes Monday that restrict assisted living providers to two of six prescribed services. Patients requiring more than two are now required to find space in residential care. The change removes “arbitrary barriers” that have forced B.C. residents into higher-cost and more restrictive residential care before they need it, said B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie. “Assisted living is a very important housing option for about 22,000 seniors in this province,” Mackenzie said. “These are your own unit, usually in an apartment-like setting where you can lock the door.

Pelino sharp as Chilliwack seeks sweep

Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Aidan Pelino looks healthy and sharp, and that’s the best news the Chilliwack Chiefs could get as they look toward a long playoff run. The veteran goalie hadn’t played since midFebruary before suiting up for game one of Chilliwack’s first round series versus Coquitlam on Friday. He stopped 35 of 37 shots in a 3-2 overtime win. “I tried not to think about it (not facing live bullets in three weeks), but I was nervous for that first game,” Pelino admitted. “I was doing a lot of work on my hip, getting it ready to go, and the hard work paid off.” “There was an odd man rush in the first period followed by a scramble in front and the puck just sort of found me.” “After that I started relaxing.” Pelino stopped another 30 pucks in a 9-1 win Saturday and backstopped his Chiefs to a 4-3 OT win Monday. By the time you read this, he may have led Chilliwack to a series sweep. Game four was played Tuesday night, after Progress press deadlines. Pelino and his teammates won’t be sorry

to see Coquitlam go, not after watching the Express employ the most insufferable defensive systems in an attempt to stay competitive. Coquitlam utilized neutral zone trap tactics to great effect in game one, almost escaping with an upset win. “We couldn’t get into their zone because they were blocking it all up all night,” Pelino said. “It’s something we haven’t really dealt with, and you could see our skill guys getting a

Pelino learned last year that finishing off a series quickly can be both a blessing and a

curse. Last year, he felt his crew suffered from having 10 days off after sweeping Prince George in the second round. “Any extra rest days are important, but I don’t think we utilized them as well as we should have,” he observed. “I think we were a little nonchalant, with guys goofing around a little more.” “It is a grind, especially when you get further on, so those rest days are crucial and I

think we won’t make those same mistakes this year.” Chilliwack is eagerly tracking the other Mainland divisions series pitting the Langley Rivermen against the Wenatchee Wild.

A hard-working man, Mike enjoyed his furniture touch-up and refinishing work that he continued into retirement. He was a people person and enjoyed the many, many people he met through his work and his recreation. Mike was a gentle giant, always willing to lend a hand and help out whenever and wherever he could. In honoring Mike’s wishes, there will be no service or memorial. In lieu of flowers the family requests that a donation be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation. Raise a glass of red wine and reminisce about the times you spent with Mike.

Greg enjoyed fishing, skiing, travelling in the motorhome and many excursions to Mexico, Thailand, Montreal and everywhere in between. Thank you to the ambulance and RCMP who attended and all the family and friends for their support and condolences at this time. There will be a celebration of Greg’s life at a later date. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting the group Memories with Greg Neilson on Facebook. Please enjoy. Arrangements entrusted to Nunes-Pottinger Funeral Service & Crematorium, Oliver & Osoyoos.

It is with heavy hearts and great sadness that we announce the passing of Bruce at the age of 90 years. He was predeceased by his loving wife Ruby of 60 years. Bruce will be lovingly remembered and missed by his daughters Donna (Dusty) Duck Devon, AB, Paula Flattery (Terry Stewner) - Winnipeg, MB; grandchildren Candice (Dustin) Chambers - Devon, AB, Kristin Flattery (Kelly Neumann) and Sarah Flattery - Winnipeg, MB; great grandchildren Gavin, Mikayla, Cole, Jordan, Sage and Hayden. As well as sisters-in law Marge (Tom) Steven - Maple Ridge, BC, Julie Zatorsky - Winnipeg, MB and brother-in-law Don Goodman - Winnipeg, MB along with numerous relatives and friends. Bruce worked many years for the St. James School Division in Winnipeg before retiring to BC. He will be remembered for always helping others, being able to make or do anything he set his mind to, from building the house we grew up in, to making Barbie furniture for his granddaughters and toy boxes. His hobbies in the latter years were baking ginger snaps and blueberry pies to share with family and friends, as well as his beautiful cross stitching. The family is very grateful to his close friend Shirley Epler and the staff at the Birchwood Retirement Home for their wonderful care and compassion. There will be no service by request. If friends so desire, donations to the Lung Association would be gratefully appreciated. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca. Woodlawn Mt. Cheam Funeral Home 45865 Hocking Avenue Chilliwack BC V2P 1B5 604-793-4555

OBITUARIES

LITWIN

Stanley Elias Mulligan, Stanley Elias - Born in Glenavon, Saskatchewan, September 16, 1924 and was raised in Rainy River Ontario along with brothers Nelson, Alden ( both deceased) and sisters Eileen, Norma, and Carol by Ethel Morrison and Cleveland Mulligan. Stan moved west to Hope B.C. while working with Emil Anderson Construction, a family company he served from the age of 18 to 63, moving from office manager to secretary treasurer. Stan met Edith Jarton, she as a nurse and he as a patient at St. Paul’s hospital, and later they married in 1953 raising Ryan (Barb), Greg, Roger (Fiona), Reg (Colleen). Dad and Mom love their grandchildren, Arienne, Chantelle, Brandon, Megan, Lynnaea, Nicole, Mariah, and Colin and continue to smile upon them. Dad has lived a long and meaningful life full of love and family. In his prime he loved to snow and waterski with his kids and most of all he enjoyed golf with family and friends. Dad, with Mom, was a great dancer, and they especially enjoyed square dancing in later years. Dad’s last few years were a struggle with communication and memory, but as a gentleman he endured quietly and patiently while having fun playing crib and snooker. We thank the staff at Pacifica Seniors home for assisting Dad with friendliness and kindness. Likewise, we are very grateful for Ramon, Margaret, Beth, and Rosendo for helping Dad out with such compassion. We also appreciate the doctors and nurses at Peace Portal Hospital who were so friendly and gentle. We especially thank God for the gift of Dad! Mass of Christian Burial will be said on Thursday, March 10, 2016 at 10:00am at Good Shepherd Catholic Church, 2250 150th Street, Surrey. Interment at St. Mary’s Cemetery, Chilliwack.
