ter, but they’re easier to find and more efficiently laid out. That will allow doctors and nurses to treat patients quicker, according to intensive care unit manager Barb Blanchette. For instance, the renovations have already halved the time between taking a blood sample and having a report ready, said Blanchette. According to those present, the money invested has resulted in a much friendlier facility.

he new Chilliwack secondary school won’t be ready to open its doors in September 2012 as originally planned. Although the project’s official completion date has yet to be made public, superintendent Corrine McCabe said it’s likely work on the new 1,200-student high school won’t be finished until January 2013. Despite the delay, McCabe said the project isn’t behind schedule. “Is it behind? Well, no because there’s never been an official date,” she said. “We got three projects from the ministry and funding over five years, so we will be within that timeline.” The district had hoped to throw open the doors on the new CSS in the fall of 2012, but finding the right design and builder has taken longer than expected. According to an estimated schedule laid out in the project’s request for qualifications, district officials had hoped to award the CSS contract by September 2010, but it took until last week to finalize their choice of a design-build team (Graham Design Builders, a JV). “It took longer than expected because it was a very complex project, and there were some a d d i t i o n a l c h a l l e n g e s,” s a i d McCabe.

$35 million expansion complete

he first hospital in Chilliwack was built 100 years ago, in 1911, for $10,000. It had 12 beds and served a population of around 2,000. What a difference a century makes. On Friday, politicians, health care officials, fundraisers and curious onlookers filed through the halls of Chilliwack General Hospital to see what $35 million can buy in 2011. The answer: quite a lot. The project—of which a previously unveiled emergency room is just one

major component—was completed on budget, and on time, according to John Smith, the acting chair of the Fraser Valley Regional Hospital Board. The improvements include a new modern laboratory, the emergency room, and renovations to several departments, including ambulatory care, the cardiopulmonary clinic, the medical daycare, a new education room and the Chilliwack Bruinssponsored pediatric care unit. Those departments aren’t only bet-

he family members of a slain Chilliwack man want the public to know that their brother, son and uncle was much more than a person who, as the euphemistic saying goes, “was known to police.” The remains of Deano Paus were found two weeks ago on a desolate property midway between Hope and Agassiz. The 40-year-old Chilliwack man had been missing for nearly a year and was already being investigated as a homicide. Police had known of Deano Paus before his disappearance, but his mother Bev says that her son had only recently begun battling personal demons. So when Bev and her daughter Loreal Bale think of their lost family member, they don’t think of Deano Paus’s last battles. Instead, they remember the time when Deano strode up to the plate at a softball game and, with the beer garden chanting “Deano, Deano, Deano,” pointed skyward like Babe Ruth and then hit a home run. Or they remember the elderly man he brought to Christmas dinner one year because the man didn’t have a family with whom to eat. Or they remember Deano pulling his nephew Cooper around Bev’s back yard in a wagon at a high rate of speed. Or they think of him attending his niece Shelby’s

fter descending into “dire straits,” the Chilliwack Exhibition has made a remarkable recovery in the last three years, according to a consultant hired by the city to find ways to fix the fair. At the last meeting, consultant Brian Johnston told city council that the Chilliwack and District Agricultural Society had done great job turning around fortunes. “I wanted to say how impressed we were how much positive change had happened and to suggest the organization and the city should be quite proud of being part of that solution,” Johnston said. In 2007, Johnston and his firm Professional Environmental Recreation Consultants were hired to review the event and find a way forward. The exhibition was seeing declining attendance, had received many complaints and was in a financial crisis. At that time, he concluded the fair had to reinvent itself, something that was successfully done. After four years of deficits leading up to 2007, the fair has since seen three years of surpluses. Some of the changes that helped turn around fortunes included: shortening the event by one day, redesigning the site to make it more compact, moving the midway out front, and adding new attractions, which include cooking lessons, animal displays and more hands-on activities. Gaetz echoed Johnston’s comments regarding what the society had done to fix things, and applauded those who pitch in to make the exhibition work.

Blames DFO for permit fiasco

MLA John Les ‘very angry’ over lack of gravel removal this year BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack is at an increased risk of flooding because this year’s Fraser River gravel removal projects have been cancelled, according to Chilliwack MLA John Les. Opponents of gravel removal say the practice is harmful to fish habitat and is only done for the aggregate used by the construction industry. Les blames Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) for not getting permit applications in before the Jan. 22 deadline. “Needless to say I am very angry about this,” Les told the Times Monday. “Our provincial people have been working their butts off to try and get this done, but it seems that DFO have just tried to invent every possible angle to try and frustrate the process.” The gravel removal projects are authorized by DFO and the provincial agency Emergency Management B.C.

he provincial government’s lack of interest in interurban light rail from Chilliwack to Surrey is biased and based on a number of false assumptions, according to a British light rail consultant. At the request of the Rail for the Valley advocacy group, David Cockle of UK-based Leewood Projects analyzed the provincial government’s Strategic Review of Transit in the FraserValley. Cockle found that the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure and Translink “appear to have predefined that Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) was the only option and the report was to prove that point of view.” Chief among the criticisms is that a maximum of 250 passengers per day was assumed when the province considered daily interurban rail service. But when it came to equivalent bus service, the number of 800 boardings was assumed.

Cockle also said the province’s report uses false assumptions to extrapolate costs of $18.6 million per kilometre for light rail. That dollar figure was based on doubletracking the entire line with stations every 1.6 kilometres “and other costs entirely unnecessary for Light Rail Transit.” “The MoTi had formed their conclusion prior to commissioning the report, and the evidence in the report has been selectively incorporated, in order to substantiate the conclusion that they wanted to see; despite the proven facts that the light rail option, for the Fraser Valley, would have an annual cost of less than a quarter of the figure quoted in the FVTS report.” Cockle pointed out that while B.C. seems set against passenger rail, in the first few weeks of 2011 seven new, and three extensions, of UK and European light rail systems were announced as were three new and three extensions in the U.S.

hile NDP leadership candidates gave the thumbs-up—with varying degrees of enthusiasm—to a proposal for a rail link south of the Fraser Valley, Liberal leadership hopefuls remain silent on the issue. Rail for the Falley, a local group that is pushing for a rail link between Surrey and Chilliwack, sent a questionnaire with five queries to all the NDP and Liberal leader-

Rail for the Valley spokesperson John Vissers said his group was disappointed with the Liberal response, but hopeful that they are reserving their opinions for after the election. - Staff

News 20s, between five-foot-six and five-foot-eight and of slim build. She wore a darkcoloured top and jeans.

Garage fire forces tenants of 30 suites out into the cold Dozens of residents of a Mary Street apartment complex were evacuated Sunday morning after a car caught fire in an underground parking garage. Firefighters arrived at the complex at 6:20 a.m., in the 9200 block of Mary Street, to find heavy black smoke billowing from the parkade. An alarm allowed all the residents of the 30-suite, three-storey building to get out safely, and firefighters managed to douse the blaze before it penetrated the building. One car was completely destroyed and a second parked nearby sustained heavy damage. Residents were able to return to their homes by 7:45 Sunday morning. The fire’s cause is unknown and RCMP and fire officials are investigating.

Police & Fire Police say the three suspects entered a Husky gas station, at 45736 Yale Rd., and demanded money from the lone clerk around 10:30 p.m. Thursday. “The suspects obtained an undisclosed amount of money and some food items,” said Chilliwack RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth. “No weapons were produced and the clerk was shaken up, but unharmed.” The suspects fled on foot southbound on Yale Road. All three are described as native. The man is about 30 years old, five-foot-nine, with a heavy build and dark hair. He wore a dark jacket, jeans and a dark baseball cap. One woman was described as being in her 30s, about five-foot-eight, of heavy build with dark hair. She wore a dark-coloured shirt and jeans. The other woman was described as being in her late

Agassiz home invaders fled in a vehicle with loud muffler Three men forced their way into an Agassiz home, waking its occupants in the process. The home invaders were described as being white men in their 20s. All three wore black, hooded sweatshirts with the hood up and bandanas covering the lower part of their faces. They left in an unknown vehicle that was described as having a loud muffler. Police can’t say if anything was stolen, or what caused the home invaders to leave, but they do say the home—in the Striker’s Corner area of Hot Springs Road, was targeted. “The home and the occupants are known to police and we have reason to believe this home was targeted,” said Hollingsworth. “We are hoping that due to the time of day of this incident someone may have noticed this vehicle because of its loud muffler.”

Pay me now or pay me later

ne of the most ingenious marketing campaigns of all time came from Fram automotive products. Their slogan hit home like few other marketing strategies before or since. A mechanic would be holding a trademark orange oil filter and warn his customer, “You can pay me now or pay me later.” The message was blunt and wholly effective. A reasonable expenditure today could save a ton of repair bills down the line. Getting people to purchase services and products before there’s actually a problem has always been a tough call for the ad business. Fram’s slogan, often imitated, was brilliant. Sadly, the message appears to be all but lost on critics of the federal government’s proposed crime legislation. Once again the government has tabled tough-oncrime laws that would establish mandatory minimum sentences for specified drug crimes; particularly those involving weapons and organized crime. The proposal has been around in one form or another since 2008. It’s known as Bill S-10 and as usual, critics are howling and screaming in opposition to it. The only thing different this time is that the soft-on-crime, hug-a-thug crowd is complaining about the cost of building

JOHN MARTIN

Crime Matters more prisons and keeping some offenders locked up. It seems they figured out that going to bat to keep offenders in the community rather than behind bars wasn’t much of a vote-getter. So now they’re confining their opposition to the financial consequences. Surely there’s not a person out there so naive as to not concede it will take considerable capital to house more offenders and in some cases, for longer periods of time. But let’s be honest here and consider the current alternative. In thousands of cases, we are simply enabling chronic offenders to continue committing more offences. This involves the significant expenditure of further policing and court costs. Those who advocate for repeat offenders being left in the community to engage in further criminality never give any thought to the resources required to respond to ongoing, habitual offending. Sure, it costs money to incarcerate an offender. But let’s consider

that expense in light of the money pit we dig ourselves by having to deal with these people over the years and even decades. It is not uncommon at all for offenders with more than 50 convictions and hundreds of arrests to be under some form of community supervision and merrily committing several new crimes each and every day. Do the critics of Bill S-10 actually believe none of this has a price tag? Thankfully, it appears the general public has figured it out and is solidly behind the government’s anti-crime measures—as evidenced by the Tories running away with the lead in one poll after another. It’s really quite simple—we can invest in public safety now and take select offenders out of circulation so they can’t commit more crimes. Or, as some would prefer, we can save those prison expansion funds and maintain the never-ending cycle of revolving door justice. That’s about it—we can pay now, or pay later. Just like the guy in the Fram commercial warned us. ◗ John Martin is a criminologist at the University of the Fraser Valley. John.Martin@ufv.ca.

he Golden Ears Bridge is not meeting expectations. That’s probably not much of a surprise to those who use the crossing, often finding themselves all alone above the Fraser River. It’s also probably no surprise to those who avoid the tolls by taking a longer route around. They are, after all, the ones who are causing the un-met expectations. Ridership estimates from 2004 set firstyear traffic over the bridge at nearly 30,000 vehicles per day between Maple Ridge and Langley. And indeed, by fall of 2009, traffic came close to within a thousand trips from that mark. But that’s been about it. The numbers stalled there. While that may be good news for those who find the drive between the North and South Fraser communities free of traffic competition much of the time, it’s not great news for those who have to pay the bills—the bills beyond the toll charges, that is. The bridge builders put almost $1 billion into the project, with the expectation that they would be repaid over the next 30 years. TransLink contracted to pay the builders, with the expectation that toll charges would take care of the mortgage, so to speak. TransLink officials rightly point out that the world has changed since they decided to build the bridge. The global financial upheaval continues to take a toll on the economy, and it appears commuters aren’t as eager to pay bridge tolls as expected. TransLink is also probably correct in suggesting that, as the economy resurfaces, bridge use will rise, resulting in more toll money and less burden on taxpayers who currently make up the difference in bridge payments. Suggestions that tolling of the Port Mann Bridge in future will increase the fortunes of the Golden Ears Bridge are a bit disturbing, however. It seems somehow wrong to drive more traffic our way only by increasing their costs. TransLink doesn’t seem to understand “carrots and sticks”—only sticks—which may be OK for the proverbial mule, but people deserve better.

Centre too valuable to lose

Editor: I am writing in response to “Opposition mounts”, published in Times newspaper on Friday, Feb. 18. Dear potential neighbours of proposed Health Contact Centre: Without question, you have legitimate questions and concerns. Please do not block the opportunity for the Health Contact Centre to be established. Please take part in building a program that has tremendous potential to affect positive change in our community. The Health Contact Centre will reach out to some of our most troubled citizens. The people who will be served by this program already live here and are fighting huge battles around addictions, mental and physical health, literacy, education, employment, life skills, poverty and relationships. Some need an incredible amount of consistent long-term support. They don’t need us to battle them—they need to be supported to fight the battles they already have. Please say yes to the Health Contact Centre for their sake. Families are really suffering. I have visited bereaved parents after losing their son to suicide.

for people who access the cluster of proposed services. I cannot paint our most troubled citizens with one brush, however, there are potential benefits for all of us. For example, better health for them could positively affect Chilliwack’s crime, health and employment rates, as well as emergency room numbers and wait times.

Khol’s picture made her day Editor: I am sending you this note in response to the article on your front page on Feb. 15 entitled “No Lonely Hearts.” I just had to comment on the photo of little Khol Martz.

I was having a rough day as sometimes many of us do. I went to our mailbox to collect the mail, bills, etc. and flying off the page of the Chilliwack Times was the most beautiful smile I have ever seen. It just took my breath away. Then I read the article. All I can say is may God bless this beautiful little boy and his family. M.J. Neilson Chilliwack

Be sure to read the directions Editor: Last year I wrote on the issue of the City of Chilliwack council giving the green light to paying out $18 million to compensate Eastern Hillside home owners who fell victim to extensive property damage suffered by below surface ground movement, and that this expensive mishap may have been prevented had authorities at the time heeded the findings of publicly accessible Geological Survey of Canada map published in 1980 that shows past slope failures in the Chilliwack Eastern Hillside region. In light of the upcoming Feb. 23 open house meeting for the public to give input on future Eastern Hillside development, this mapping information should be taken into consideration.

CGH, from page 1 “It looks to me to be quite functional, with wide hallways, more natural light and art, and that makes the people who work here and the people who come here feel much better in the space they’re in,” said Coun. Pat Clark after touring the hospital. And the improved layout is making the jobs of volunteers, like Alice Lackey, much easier. Lackey, a member of the Chilliwack Hospital Auxiliary, often works CGH’s information booth. She said patients are finding it much easier to get around the hospital. “Everything is more convenient now. When you come in the front entrance, the lab is right there, the X-ray department is just down the hall and the ambulatory care is right at the end of the hall,” said Lackey. Then you have the more welcoming feel of the whole place. From ER waiting rooms basking in natural sunlight, to a redone front entrance, the redevelopment has made CGH feels a little less like, well, a hospital. The ER also features several large pieces of native art, commissioned from local First Nations artists. The pieces made a strong

impression on many, including Clark. “The artwork is incredible,” she said. “There’s not enough public artwork as far as I’m concerned.” For Blanchette, who led the tour Friday, being able to show off the remade hospital was a proud moment. “It’s so exciting to see the end result,” she said. “It looks so clean and polished. The front entrance is so welcoming.” Chilliwack MLA John Les agreed, noting that the redevelopment is a response to new trends in health care. “This is just a wonderful day for Chilliwack and potential patients in Chilliwack,” he said. “There’s a real focus on ambulatory care which is a way of looking after people today that is quite different from looking after people in the past.” The bulk of the money—$30 million—for the redevelopment came from the regional hospital board, but a major fundraising effort allowed the Fraser Valley Hospital Foundation to raise $5 million for the project.

MLA Penner a proud papa BY PAUL J. HENDERSON phenderson@chilliwacktimes.com

f anyone noticed that Chilliwack-Hope MLA Barry Penner was a little distracted at Friday’s CGH open house, he had good reason. Penner was back at CGH on Friday night with his very pregnant wife Daris, the source of his distraction. After being sent home twice in less than 24 hours, the couple were back for good early Sunday morning. Then after a challenging and

long labour, Daris gave birth to seven-pound, six-ounce Fintry Katherine Penner at 11:21 a.m. Feb. 20. “A friend asked me which job is more difficult, being a MLA, Minister of Aboriginal Relations or Attorney General,” Penner said in an e-mail Monday. “I said, ‘I think parenting might be!’” The little girl is the couple’s first child and her name comes from the provincial park in the Okanagan. (Both new parents worked as park rangers at one time.)

Gore’s 64-save outing shattered a record set just 24 hours prior by his backup, Braden Gamble. Making his first start in more than

The Western Conference-leading Winterhawks put two early goals past Gamble, but the Bruins rallied and tied the game by the end of the first period. Portland’s high-powered offence was too much for Chilliwack, however, as the Winterhawks scored three more times in the second period en route to a 6-3 victory. New York Islander first-rounder Nino Niederreiter notched a hat trick, while Columbus Blue Jacket firstround pick Ryan Johansen and Bos-

mericans are known to like to shoot, but the Chilliwack Bruins’ latest foray south of the border was a tad ridiculous. The Bruins gave up a combined 180 shots to the Tri-City Americans, Portland Winterhawks and Seattle Thunderbirds over the weekend. As is wont to happen when your goalies face more rubber than the TransCanada Highway, the Bruins lost all three games. Chilliwack did manage to claim a single-point from the road trip as Sunday’s tilt against the lowly Thunderbirds went to a shootout, where Seattle’s snipers ended the game. But the Bruins will be unhappy with the 4-3 result, despite a recordbreaking 64-save performance from starter Lucas Gore. Chilliwack took a 3-1 lead into the third period, thanks to a pair of goals from the red-hot Ryan Howse—who has now scored in eight consecutive games. The Bruins had been a perfect 16-0-0-0 after leading through

ton Bruins draft pick Craig Cunningham each notched a goal and an assist. On Friday, the Bruins fell 6-2 to the Tri-City Americans, with American Justin Feser scoring a hat trick in the winning cause. Howse and Crooks had the lone Chilliwack goals. The three defeats south of the border leave the Bruins mired in ninth place in the Western Conference, three points back of the eighth place Kamloops Blazers in the battle for the final playoff spot. Chilliwack does have three games in hand on Kamloops but they also have a difficult schedule that sees them play

the Vancouver Giants three times, the Kelowna Rockets twice, and each American team once in their final 13 games. ◗ The Bruins play a special Support The Troops game on Sunday, Feb. 27 against the Prince George Cougars (5 p.m. game time).

U15 Silver Strikers out of this world against Surrey Galaxy The Chilliwack U15 Silver Strikers narrowly squeaked out a victory over the Surrey Galaxy over the weekend. The game was the second meeting between the two teams, with Chilliwack winning the first by a score of 2-0. As in the previous match, the Strikers dominated the field position and ball possession throughout the game, but could not muster the finish on their attacks. After a scoreless first half, the Strikers found the board early in the second half. Just three minutes in, a lead pass from central midfielder Emma Haagensen sent Kiana Thiessen through two defenders into the 18. She was taken down from behind and awarded a penalty kick. Thiessen made no mistake and slammed a high hard shot into the top corner. Just three minutes later, the Strikers was awarded another penalty but

Semifinal trip for Graham hoopsters

W. Graham’s senior girls and senior boys basketball teams are just one step away from a trip to the AA provincial championships. On Saturday, both squads secured a spot in the semifinals of the AA Fraser Valley Championships. The senior girls clawed their way to a semifinal spot by beating their archnemeses, the Mission secondary Road Runners for the first time in four years. In front of a capacity hometown crowd, the Grizzlies gave up the lead several times before taking control in the fourth quarter and winning the game 59-48. Janelle Tucker and Kaitlyn McDonald led the Grizzlies in scoring with 18 and 20 points respectively. Senior point guard Mikaela McManus had one of her best games of the season in the backcourt, while Breena Wirtz and Jamie Wesa controlled the boards. The girls now face Archbishop Carney in Coquitlam on Thursday. The winner of the semifi-

nal gets an automatic berth to the provincial championships in Kamloops in March. G.W. Graham’s senior boys team, who finished league play undefeated last week and currently rank number one in provincial AA rankings, earned their semifinal spot by taking down Surrey’s Pacific Academy Saturday. The Grizzlies came out flying led by Lucas Mannes, G e o f f Sl ov i c k a n d Fra n Armengual, who hit a combined nine three-pointers in the first three quarters. Despite having racked up a 20-point lead by early in the third, however, the team found themselves at 55-54 and in major foul trouble by late in the quarter. The Grizzlies roared back to life in the fourth with their own 16-point run, however, and closed out the game with an 83-69 victory. The boys now take on Delview (Delta) at Holy Cross this Thursday. The winner that game will receive a provincial berth and move directly to the Fraser Valley Championship Game at Holy Cross Saturday.

Unity in small numbers

nity Christian basketball is alive and well in the playoffs. All six of the small school’s teams qualified for playoffs this season and two have captured EastValley division banners—an impressive feat for a school that has only about 25 students per grade. Unity’s Grade 9 girls squad won the East Valley championship banner by defeating Vedder middle 52-41 in the final while the Grade 8 girls took top spot by defeating A.D. Rundle middle 52-41— with an impressive 16 points coming from top scorer Adrianna Brouwer. The Grade 9 boys squad lost

in the final to Vedder middle 60-40 while the Grade 8 boys captured fifth place. Unity’s senior girls team finished league play with a 55 record and enter the Fraser Valley championships seeded third. They will take on Abbotsford Christian in quarter-final action Thursday. Unity’s senior boys finished league play with a 6-2 record and are currently ranked seventh in the province among single A teams. They enter the valleys seeded second and will face St. John Brebeuf in the semifinals at 6:15 p.m. Friday at St. John Brebeuf. The top three teams qualify for provincials.

As for the intangible, we provide our members with networking opportunities and the opportunity to be part of an active advocacy and lobbying group. We tackle issues

Q:Why is networking important? A: Networking is more important than most people think. The basic building block to networking is meeting people, and the more people we know in our profession or career, the more we can improve our chances of growing business. When you meet people, you have the opportunity to discuss and learn

from them and them from you. This sharing of knowledge is one of the most important elements of networking, because learning from actual professionals is priceless. Q: How is the Chamber adapting to a more interconnected, digital world? A: Over the past year the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce has established a clear communication strategy which includes Facebook and Twitter.

A: In years past, the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce was a very strong events-driven organization. Without neglecting the events area of the Chamber we have evolved into a stronger advocacy group. The Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce has become an active member of the B.C. Chamber of Commerce and the Canadian Chamber of Commerce and we are taking a lead role in local, provincial and federal lobbying activities. Q: What is Chamber week, and what is its purpose?

Q: Do you get the sense that businesses, in general, are looking to expand anytime soon? Or are they still being conservative in their forward planning? A: About 50/50. . . I talk to some businesses that are still pretty gun shy about the credit market drying up . . . and lots of local, especially smaller businesses, rely on access to capital to keep the wheels from falling off. We do see posi-

Q: How does the possibility of elections both federally and provincially affect businesses? A: Hmm, hard to say. I would hope that businesses, not just businesses but everyone would pay more attention to the political landscape. I’m a bit of a political junkie, but I’m also very new to politics – so everything is pretty interesting to me. I know the relative state of chaos provincially has made things pretty hard to introduce or lobby policy changes in Victoria, but we expect that to change in the next few months. For our members, the Chamber is the defacto lobbying organization for small business in Chilliwack, and we have some key initiatives we will roll out as soon as things settle down a bit. Q:To rip off a question on the Chamber’s own website, do you think the minimum wage should be increased? A: Yes. I would support an increase in minimum wage; the Chamber, however, See LUM, Page 21 02220406

Chamber of Commerce Week cal challenges facing local businesses?

has not officially released a position. Most small businesses that I speak to already pay above minimum wage. I still believe there is a net benefit to a wellplanned, well-executed, tiered increase to minimum wage, and I believe it can be done without negatively impacting small businesses—of which I am one.

A: We address them by communicating directly with our members and then taking their concerns directly to government in the form of policy initiatives and direct advocacy.

Q:What do you hope happens with the HST? A: I hope for certainty. I hope for better education on the subject, by both the for and against camps, and I hope that politics aside, the people are given the opportunity to access factual information on a complex tax issue. That said, I personally support, and have benefitted from the tax as a small businessman, and I have not stopped eating at restaurants or getting my haircut . . .

A:We benefit from being a small, highly agile organization whose only embedded interests are the interests of our members and supporters.We have no outside funding and are beholden to none but the above.We pride ourselves on keeping our operational expenses low, and are able to adapt quickly and efficiently to the needs and wants of our members, as well as the changing business environment.

In a lot of ways this board of directors and our talented staff Lisa Caruth and Alyssa Conkin are already doing all of the above—but there is always room for improvement.

Eva was an active member in her community, becoming the first woman to sit on council.

Later in 1965 they became Snowbirds, wintering in Desert Hot Springs, CA. Alfred passed away in 1981. Eva continued to make the annual migration south until 2010. She was chairman of the Desert Hot Springs Women’s Club, a life time member of TOPS, a member of the Red Hatters, and a member of the Chilliwack Hospital Auxiliary. Eva loved to travel and visited many corners of the world. She loved to entertain family and friends the door was always open. Eva crafted, sewed, cooked and spent endless hours planning events. Eva had a never ending love and affection for all her family. She will be greatly missed by all. Eva is survived by her sons Clare (Joni), Lorne (Mamie), Neil (Patty), her grandchildren Tracee, Nikcole, Andrea, Tobi, Kirby, Ryan, Karen, Cindy and eleven great grandchildren. A warm heart of thanks goes out to all the staff at Birchwood Retirement Center and the Medical staff at the Chilliwack General Hospital.
