Snowfall sets new record Twenty-eight centimetres of snow fell on Chilliwack Tuesday night, the heaviest 12-hour snowfall in 14 years, says Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. He says snow drifted to more than 34 centimetres in some places. Night time temperatures dipped to -2.5 degrees Celsius. The snowfall closed schools throughout the Chilliwack School District, as well as schools in Agassiz. The University of the Fraser Valley also closed its doors because of the snow. Police and firefighters responded to numerous accidents throughout the day. However, there were no reports of any serious injuries. The snow has since changed to rain, with another 30 to 40 millimetres expected Friday.

Greendale flood unlikely: city officials Robert Freeman The Progress Flooding hit parts of Greendale two years ago under a set of weather conditions similar to today: a heavy snowfall on top of frozen ground followed by a heavy rain. Could it happen again? City Coun. Chuck Stam, head of the city’s public safety advisory committee, doesn’t think so. He said it took a “perfect storm” of weather conditions - including a record 100-mm rainfall in just over a day - to cause area culverts to back up and spill out of farmers’ fields to flood nearby residents’ homes. Adams Road resident Daryl Wear,
one of those flooded in 2009, isn’t so sure. He agreed not enough rain has fallen in Greendale – yet. “But you never know,” he said. Wear also said the city did some “smart” work since 2009 to prevent a similar flood, but due to a lack funding had done only about 10 per cent of what was promised in a city study of drainage in the Greendale area. Stam agreed none of the major recommendations in the report are in place, but no amount of funding could “guarantee” future floods could be avoided. “There was no promise of an easy or quick or inexpensive fix,” he said. The study found there was no
single cause of the 2009 flooding in Greendale, and that flood prevention projects would cost $10-$19 million because of the complicated drainage in the lowland area that was once the bottom of a lake. Meanwhile, a forecast of 30-40 mm of rain falling in Chilliwack on Friday is far from the 100-mm deluge in just over a day back in 2009. Last year the city installed 55 metres of new storm drain pipe south of South Sumas Road to improve drainage, and installed a larger box culvert on Adams Road. An application for $2.5 million to improve a pump station in the area has been made to provincial and federal governments.
Residents and friends of South Sumas Road work together to sandbag a house from further damage in January, 2009. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

A year later Haiti ‘A ticking time bomb’ Robert Freeman The Progress Hope is hard to find in Haiti. Despite a global outpouring of aid, the island nation rocked by an earthquake a year ago killing more than 300,000 is teetering on the brink of chaos in the aftershocks of crime, cholera and corruption. But Chilliwack child care worker Esther King believes there is still hope - because she must believe, for the sake of “her children” in the King’s Kids Wordwide organization she runs with husband Frank. It’s estimated that some 100,000 children under age 15 now roam the streets of Haiti, orphaned by the 7.0 earthquake that ripped across the country on Jan. 12, 2010, or abandoned by adults too traumatized to care about them. More than a million homeless are living in squalid tent cities contaminated by cholera and ruled by gangsters set loose by the earthquake. They are unafraid of the police because they are protected by the politicians who fear them. But King is going back to Haiti this week, to look after her children, despite the obvious dangers. “I’m about to go into a ticking time bomb, and quite frankly, I’m a little nervous,” she said in a telephone interview Tuesday. Many small non-government organizations (NGOs) like hers
are “struggling to make headway” in light of the daily violence they encounter, she said - but they are succeeding. “The problem is there’s no leadership in how (Haitians) go about
this recovery,” she said. Until such leadership is provided, hopefully in an upcoming election, she said, “nothing else is going to happen.” “Small NGOs are being robbed

District’s decision to close schools not made lightly Katie Bartel The Progress All public schools in Chilliwack were closed Wednesday due to snow. It was a decision not made lightly. “We make every effort to keep students in class every day possible,” said assistant superintendent Ruth Wiebe. “[The closure] was based upon our ability to ensure the safety of our students, our staff, and all the parents who drive their children to school.” Twenty-eight centimetres of snow fell on Chilliwack Tuesday night, the heaviest 12-hour snowfall in 14 years according to Environment Canada. With school closures, the Chilliwack school dis-
at gunpoint,” she said. “Nobody stops them, and nobody cares to stop them.” Cholera is now “completely curable,” she pointed out, but in Haiti “more and more people are dying

trict follows a stringent process that had senior staff navigating bus routes, as well as other roads, at 4 a.m. to check snow depth, iciness and drifting on roads, sidewalks and school parking lots. They also contacted the city about snow clearing, and checked weather predictions for possible temperature changes, snow accumulations, wind, freezing rain, etc.
m with the At 5:10 aa.m., temperature still at -3 degrees Celsius, and a prediction of freezing rain on the way, which held the potential for roads to become even more dangerous, the decision to close schools was made. “Snow accumulation overnight was heavy, with drifting in many areas ... and our school driveways were filled with snow this morning,” said Wiebe. “At 5 a.m. it
was still snowing heavily, so getting and keeping everything clear enough to ensure safety by the time our buses were to run was challenging.” The first school buses usually head out at 6:30 a.m. The district had the school closure posted on its website by 5:15 a.m., as well as a message on the district answering machine. All principals and vice principals were contacted immediately, as were the local radio stations and CBC to broadcast the information. The district also had at least one emergency staff member stationed at each school site to ensure no students had arrived and the buildings were secured.
because they can’t get to a cholera clinic” as the roads are simply not safe enough to travel. “You have to wonder how much more this country can take,” King said. “This country is sinking right before our eyes.” But the children of Haiti could be its saving grace, if given a chance. King said that despite the odds against them, she has children in Haiti “who are graduating, who are involved in their community ... it can be done, and it can be done easily, but it’s not being done because nobody knows where to start.” So King returns to the ravaged country, putting her own personal safety at risk, “because I have to be responsible to the children I committed to,” she said. “You look at the face of a child,” she explained, “and if you have to tell them, ‘I can’t help you’ ... I can’t do it.” King said on an earlier trip to Haiti, she saw a dead baby lying on the ground, but Haitians, numbed by the sight of thousands of bodies in the street after the earthquake, were simply stepping over it and continuing on their way. “I got out of the car and picked it up, this baby,” King said. “I don’t believe any human being was created to be thrown away.” Maybe that belief of King’s is the stuff that hope is made of. rfreeman@theprogress.com
Lights out at Time Out Popular seniors program forced to close Robert Freeman The Progress It’s lights out for Time Out – the program that’s been providing Chilliwack seniors at risk with a safe place to socialize for more than 16 years. Donations from local service clubs, private citizens and the City of Chilliwack to keep the program going started coming in after the Fraser Health Authority chopped in half its $142,000 in annual funding last August. But the donations weren’t enough to cover the total $70,000 shortfall, Al Hunt, president of the Chilliwack Seniors Resources Society that operated Time Out, said Wednesday. “We managed to replace all but about $20,000,” he said. But that meant the society would have to raise $90,000 next year just to keep up with the deficit and the rising costs of running the program. And raising that amount
seemed unlikely, in light of the “donor fatigue” that seems to be hitting the fundraising efforts of all organizations that rely on public donations. “Everybody is dogging after people to donate to something,” Hunt said. “I think organizations are finding (donors) are tapped right out.” The society directors decided over Christmas it couldn’t continue operating Time Out, and still deliver its other programs to seniors. It’s hoped that Chilliwack churches will step in to fill the gap, but in the meantime the loss of Time Out will affect about 95120 seniors - and their primary caregivers. “It’s having an impact on everybody,” Hunt said. “You have no idea what a few hours will do” for those looking after elderly parents or relatives, he said. “That’s going away. It’s gone.” rfreeman@theprogress.com

Mobile shelter arrives Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A temporary homeless shelter was up and running behind the Chilliwack Salvation Army Care and Share building, after dealing with the aftermath of the largest snowfall to hit Chilliwack in years. As reported in The Progress Tuesday, the customized shipping container was donated by a Langley businessman and transported to Chilliwack this week to take the pressure off their smaller emergency shelter space, said Ian Pratt, community ministries director for the Chilliwack Salvation Army. On Wednesday, five people booked a space but only two showed up, plus a dog and a cat. “We’re pleased we will have it at our disposal to be used on an emergency relief basis, as well as accommodating overflow from the regular shelter,” he said. Plus the ability to take clients with pets is also helpful. City and fire officials took a tour of the unit with eight rooms that could accommodate 16. It’s heated, insulated, and comes with LED lighting, storage space and tons of safety features. The shelter project is the brainchild of Rob Reid, owner of Shadow Lines
Transportation Group, who wanted to do something concrete to help the growing number of homeless in the Lower Mainland. Coun. Diane Janzen, chair of the Mayor’s Committee on Health thinks the repurposed container is a “great idea.” “On the local housing front there has been a dearth of both emergency and transitional housing, so it’s clear we need to build capacity along the housing continuum, to long-term and second stage housing.” The temporary shelter donated to Chilliwack is adding another piece of the puzzle. “The one thing I have found encouraging is that between the Health Contact Centre proposal, the School Street project and now this, there is really a lot of good work being done in the community.” Certain city bylaw requirements and codes have to be met, she said. “Staff are working closely with them to ensure compliance. Especially when dealing with folks who are vulnerable, the last thing we need is a fly-by-night operation.” The local Sally Ann folks are clearly tickled by the arrival of the temporary structure. “I anticipate that we’ll see more use as people become more aware. We plan to make good use of this generously donated resource,” Pratt added.

it along “without” comment. The applicant, Agropur, a local dairy processing plant, wants to build an addition which would increase its footprint. The ALC has approved it in principle. “This is the exact type of agricultural industry we’re looking to attract, entertain, and enhance,” said Stam after the Monday council meeting. “They’ve grown, thankfully, and they needed to grow outside the footprint that was approved.” It’s basically a housekeeping item, he said.
The Progress City council made the decisive move Monday to reverse a practice of withholding comment on applications for non-farm use within the Agricultural Land Reserve. A motion to forward an application to the Agricultural Land Commission with respect to a Yale Road property — with support — was approved unanimously. This was after defeating the staff recommendation to send
“Having processors settle in locally makes farming more attractive in this community,” Stam said. The long-standing practice of withholding comment for ALC applications stemmed from a period several years ago when the city was under investigation for questionable land deals which led to charges being laid against a former employee. Coun. Diane Janzen called the move a “strong” decision by council. “I certainly supported it,” she said. “It made perfect

to a glut of natural gas on the market, continued strong production and lower than expected demand. Terasen passes on the commodity cost of the gas without markup, instead earning its profit on the separate deliver y charges to transport it. Not benefitting from the low prices are those households that locked in to long-term rates offered in 2007 by rival gas marketers who are reaping big profits.

sense.” She agreed it does in some ways reverse a long-standing practice of council, but she doesn’t have a problem with that. “If city council wants to have more of a say in how agricultural land is being used, we need to step up and support it in cases like this,” Janzen said. “We generally have no comment, but the ALC does put a certain amount of stock in what local government has to say. If it has to do with land use, we should have a say.”

Relay For Life organizers are urging the community to get a jump start in the fight against cancer. The 12-hour fundraising event is still five months away, but event coordinator Tim Dixon cautions cancer never takes a break. The Canadian Cancer Society’s Relay For Life early bird registration ends on Jan. 31. By registering early, “it allows you more time to organize and fundraise,” said Dixon. “The further ahead we are, the more benefit we’ll have in fighting for the cause.” The early bird registration fee is $10, which goes up to $20 for adults and $15 for youth on Feb. 1. Relay For Life is an event that celebrates cancer survivors and remembers loved ones lost to the disease, while raising funds to help support research, increase awareness and advocate on behalf of reducing preventable cancer risks. “It’s an event that brings together the community in fighting this disease,” said Dixon. It also provides hope. Relay For Life kicks off with a unique victory lap that has survivors, whether currently in treatment or long-time

recovery, walking the first lap around the track. It’s an opportunity to see that cancer survivorship is real and that advances are being made, said Dixon. The Canadian Cancer Society is the largest national charitable funder of cancer research in Canada. With an annual investment of more than $50 million on a broad range of research projects, there have been improvements in the detection and diagnosis of cancer; better, less harmful treatments, and life-saving clinical trials. Since 1999, Relay For Life has raised more than $270 million. Last year, in B.C. and the Yukon, the event raised more than $6 million in more than 54 communities. But that’s not enough. The society’s end goal is a cure. Chilliwack’s Relay For Life hopes to attract 360 participants this year and raise $90,000. The event is on June 3 from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. It will be held inside at Prospera Centre this year as its regular location at Chilliwack secondary will be under construction at that time. Participants will lap the upper concourse throughout the evening.

For the people of Haiti, there is little hope to cling to. It’s been one year since a 7.0-magnitude earthquake brought this nation to its knees. Billions of dollars have been pledged to help the country get back on its feet, but by all accounts, the country still can’t get a foothold. (See story, page 3.) From Haiti’s grim cholera-ridden streets, we in Chilliwack should have a new appreciation for what we have, especially for the basics of food, water, shelter, health care and well-run government. One leader of a non-profit organization said this week that working in Haiti is simply a “humbling experience.” Reconstruction of the country is moving in slow motion. Haiti’s centralized government has hampered efforts of local authorities. Only five per cent of the rubble in the Haitian capital of Port-au-Prince has been cleared since the earthquake, a troubling statistic illustrating little progress has been made. Haiti was already a nation on the brink of disaster before the earthquake hit. According to Canadian officials, 85 per cent of its citizens lived in abject poverty before the quake. Only one in five had access to clean water. After the earth shook, 30 hospitals were destroyed. Three out of four medical schools were levelled, as was the nation’s largest nursing hospital. Haitians training at these facilities were killed. Add hurricanes, disease and political instability to the mix, and the devastation is worse than most war zones. Meanwhile, many of us Canadians go about our daily lives and find plenty to complain about. Some Haitians lost entire families in the quake and have little to live for. One million people are homeless or in camps. Sexual violence is rampant. There are stories of progress, but they’re coming at a glacial pace. Yet there are enough glimmers of hope that the Haitian people haven’t given up on their nation. It’s a sombre situation that offers us plenty of reasons to pause and be grateful for what we have in Canada.

Desperation breeds worthy political reforms VICTORIA – The crisis over the harmonized sales tax and subsequent leadership contest have shaken up the B.C. Liberal party and produced some serious suggestions for reform. For the post-Gordon Campbell B.C. Liberals, accountability is an unavoidable theme. Shuswap MLA George Abbott led the way last week with a package of initiatives, including restructuring the way the legislature works. Abbott proposes moving the annual throne speech, where the government sets out its priorities for the year, from the spring to the fall. Hardly an exciting reform, but it leads to a couple of important changes. First, it implies that there will actually be a fall legislative session, something Campbell first instituted and then proceeded to truncate or cancel most years to avoid opposition questions.

Abbott also wants to move the scheduled election date to the fall, as early as 2013 if the opposition will agree. Both parties have noted that May elections disrupt the spring budget process, resulting in delays and uncertainty for voters at the most critical time. Long-time obser vers will recall the circus Tom that resulted from FLETCHER the ruling party controlling not only election timing but also the legislature schedule. Governments could (and did) table reams of complicated legislation at the end of the spring session to ambush the opposition, which would react with delay tactics that dragged into the night and into the summer. It was a travesty.
Campbell deserves credit for imposing a sane schedule on the legislature, although it was easy when his government held all but two seats. He then squandered that progress by retreating from the legislature when faced with his first substantial opposition. Whoever wins the leadership should restore that commitment. Christy Clark has taken up the cause raised by independent MLAs, to restore the proper function of legislative committees. To the average person trying to pay the mortgage, this is also about as exciting as watching a mailbox rust, but it too is important. Campbell tried this once in 2005. Stung by the loss of north coastal seats, he created a committee to hold hearings on fish farming and gave the NDP a majority. But the tradition of partisan warfare dies hard, and the opposition members ended up demanding a ban on
open-pen fish farms in five years, whether closed containment is feasible or not. Still, hearings were held in affected communities and a genuine debate ensued. Clark is proposing these touring committees become the norm, and whoever wins should follow through with that as well. Kevin Falcon caused a stir last week with his suggestion for merit pay for teachers. Falcon cites Australia’s program, with bonus payments offered outside union contracts. Here in B.C., teachers load up on post-graduate degrees because they guarantee wage increases. Whether these master’s and PhD qualifications actually improve classroom performance is difficult to say, since the union fights any effort to assess teacher performance. Again, whoever replaces

Campbell should proceed with this idea. It’s similar to what the Obama administration in the U.S. has embraced, despite political backlash from its unionized teachers. This week the B.C. NDP contest starts to take shape, after the entry of three fringe candidates who haven’t done much to address the policy vacuum at the heart of the anti-Carole James revolt. Just as the B.C. Liberals got arrogant after nearly a decade in power, the NDP grew dangerously dependent on the anti-Campbell theme that brought them back to life. If the political upheaval of 2010 results in new leaders for both parties actually committing to serious debate about ideas, it will be worth it.

Time runs out for Time Out I want to tell you how hard it was to call 120 participants of the Time Out Program to let them know that Time Out was closed. The seniors program that started in 1993 – 18 years it has been a place where friends meet. It had an open door policy with a monthly calendar of activities participants could choose to take part in. Activities like fun fit exercise, bingo, darts and card making, to name a few. As well as a healthy lunch for $5 if they wanted to stay. Wow what a program! We had many volunteers over the years who gladly donated their time and energy to help the make the program work. Thank
you so much; it was so appreciated. The program could not have run without your efforts. A year-and-a-half ago the majority of the program funding was cut and at that time so many rallied and came to our aid in helping the program, seeing our value. But unfortunately, nothing lasts forever. The Seniors Resources staff have worked diligently on our behalf with no success to keep the Time Out doors open. Thank you Lynda, Wanda and Ina. Also to the many business, restaurants and organizations who have supported, donated and helped us out in so many ways. Thank you so much.
Norman “I have tried many different ways of losing weight, low carb, low fat, low calorie and food plans that are designed for women not men. Even though I lost some weight on all of them, I gained most of the weight back within a short period of time after losing interest and slipping back to my old diet. With SureSlim my food plan was designed for my particular body type and metabolism. I learned what foods cause me to gain weight and how to control my blood sugar to avoid over eating and maintain my weight. I lost 70 pounds using my personal food plan.” – SureSlim teaches you how to eat properly, and the counsellors are there to provide support and guidance every step of Norman before the way.”
You gave to a fun, positive, safe place for seniors to meet; they were apart of an “Awesome” program. We had so much fun, there are so many memories and pictures of picnics, outings in the community, bus trips, birthday parties and dancing at the Lions hall. Thank you one and all for your support. It’s so discouraging to see it all ending. And to the Time Out participants, I will miss you most of all. Take good care, my friends. My prayer is that you meet and stay connected.

Tree protection bylaw needed timely to press the City of Chilliwack to pass a bylaw stating that every tree left in the Fraser Valley and the city of Chilliwack has enormous value, aesthetically and air quality wise. To this end, I would suggest that this bylaw state that a special permit with accompanying fee and inspection must be acquired before the removal of every single
tree that a landowner within the city wishes to remove. A hefty fine could be the consequences of not complying with this bylaw. Our air quality and lifestyle are at stake. We have the privilege of living in one of the most beautiful areas of the world. It is time to disallow developers (and others) from clearing every living thing
from a new building site or an existing property. Let us respect this environment, save what exists, and work together to plant more trees that will grow large, and protective and grace this magnificent area. I would challenge the City of Chilliwack to lead the way on this issue.

Valley transit study should have looked at light rail option Re: “Bus-boosting study stacked deck against Valley trains, say critics” (Chilliwack Progress, January 11). This study was a foregone conclusion; we all know that the cost ($400,000?) would be a waste of time and money. Most of us know better that Light Rail Transit is the only way to go! Your article on page 1 and 13 sounds more like the provincial government’s or our mayor and council’s double speak. Why is it that these dense people always project costs based on “heavy rail” transit, such as the West Coast Express?
Is it because they all are anti rail transit to begin with? They all assume that it won’t be used in an efficient/cost-effective manner. Then why do all sensible governments in North America, Europe, or Asia invest heavily in light rail transit? It is because they all know that it is the most efficient method of moving people from A to B. Please don’t give us all this crap about, too expensive, buses are better, or people will keep using their cars. If people find that light rail transit is more convenient, cheaper on the pocket book and very efficient, people

will gladly leave their cars at home, or at a transit station parking lot. But everyone knows that feeder buses will also need to supplement the system. Don’t give us a snow job! Let’s call a spade a shovel. Calgary’s light rail transit, for example, works wonderfully well and doesn’t interfere too much with the rubber-tired traffic. And remember, all or most transit systems need to be subsidized whatever form of transit you take! Let us help the environment too!

Robin Olivares and ‘The kids who can’ I arrived at St. Mary’s School during the lunch hour. Grade 7 students Ola Kubiak and Bryce Tingley sat quietly and politely across from me, never hinting that they were missing a chance to be with their Ana friends MACEDO during their break. As teacher Robin Olivares looked on, we began talking about their passion for helping others – a challenge that they’ve taken on that shows the world just what kind of a difference a group of kids can make. Robin Olivares arrived in Chilliwack from Texas three years ago and began teaching at St. Mary’s. She had previously taught in Texas for 14 years. She’s a teacher with a passion for helping others and in Texas, helped her students to be socially responsible. She con-
tinued that same business of caring when she arrived here. So, a couple of years ago, she helped her Grade 6 class develop a group called “The Kids Who Can” whose mission it is to raise money for important causes both globally and locally. “The students were inspired by ideas from the Global Citizen socials text book. We read about how other children started their own foundation and this empowered the students to act. They took their learning and made it real,” she explained. Mrs. Olivares, who’s affectionately known as Mrs. O., helped the students organize the group but they essentially put it into action. “They created their own T-shirts, brainstormed ideas, clarified the ideas and went from there. With this group, the children can’t ask for money but must use their hands, their feet, their heart and their mind in order to earn it. They have learned that you can’t

ask others to save the world. They all have the responsibly of doing something. It is a powerful statement when our youth shows the empathy and compassion to change the world,” she said. In the last two years, the students have raised over $4,000. Ola interjected politely. “The logo was created by a student named Jacobus Laibahas.” Then,
When your child chooses science, they’re choosing more than a rewarding career. They’re choosing to contribute, achieve and have their thinking recognized. And to start them off right, we’re even offering one potential scientist a $25,000 scholarship. To learn more, visit yearofsciencebc.ca
both Ola and Bryce methodically reviewed the means by which the students had raised the money. “We had car washes, a bake sale, we had a family fun night fundraiser, and we had class food drives then gave the food to the food bank and things like that,” they said. A couple of the children helped rake leaves all weekend for their grandparents.
The $100 that they earned was given to the cause. In addition, one student was given money upon graduating from Grade 7 but rather than keeping the money, willingly gave it to the “Kids Who Can” so that it could help others. Mrs. O. then prompted them to tell me who they’d helped. “Oh,” said Ola smiling, “We’ve helped children in the Third World by purchasing goats and chickens for them, we’ve purchased mosquito nets, stoves, pots and pans, we’ve paid for doctor’s visits, school supplies and seedlings so that they can grow things. We took money and bought presents for kids at Children’s Hospital at Christmas, we’ve given money to MS and the Chilliwack Animal Safe Haven.” Both Ola and Bryce are excellent students who have high aspirations. Given her love of animals, Ola hopes to become a veterinarian one day while Bryce has a passion for archaeology. Ola, who enjoys sports, especially soccer and basketball, is quite enterprising and currently works delivering newspapers for The Progress. Bryce, meanwhile, is quite proficient on the piano and curls and plays badminton in his spare time. While both students are excellent leaders, Continued: STUDENTS/ p18

the entire group works hard and is motivated to move the cause forward. Running any group takes organization and planning and all the students are involved in the important decisions of fundraising and how to disperse the money. They set goals and keep track of how much is raised and 100 per cent of what they raise is given back to those in need. “I have found that doing this has made me a more generous person at home,” said Ola. Both Bryce and Ola agree that helping others makes you feel good because it’s nice to see others getting what you already have; something that you can easily take for granted. The children are learning some valuable lessons. They are learning what it means to live in a global village and to be global citizens. They are learning the value of hard work; they are learning about business and are putting practical knowledge into action. More importantly, they are learning what it means to share with others and how that empowers not only the people that they are helping but indeed themselves. “We’re always looking for ways to raise money so if you have things that you need doing, you can always call our teacher,” said Ola with a smile.

growers have really done a remarkable job producing a wide variety of smaller plants which will stand up well in the poor winter growing conditions of
most homes. Although most of these plants will tolerate somewhat difficult situations, windowsills are perhaps one of the best locations for them. A
couple of attractive brackets holding a rectangular plastic or clay tray beside a north or east window would be ideal. If this isn’t possible, the coolest loca-

tion in your home with one of the stylish new Power Smart florescent fixtures overhead will make an incredible difference in the quality and lifespan of your plants. It’s always nice to have a fresh bouquet of pretty flowers or a colorful potted plant in a feature location in your home, but a few smaller pots of color here and there can also really add warmth to any room. Small potted spring flowers are my favorite at this time of year. On top of my list are the miniature daffodils, ‘Tete-a-Tete’. Their tiny yellow blossoms never seem to quit. They stand up beautifully, reminding us that spring’s on the way! Fragrant hyacinths are also beautiful and longlasting, and you know, a single flower is as precious as a whole bouquet. If you purchase some crocus a little on the tight side, it’s fun to watch them explode into color. Miniature blue irises and grape hyacinths or muscari are cute as a button and last surpris-
ingly well indoors. Try to keep all these bulbs as cool as you can and wet for maximum enjoyment. Kolanchoes have been a real sleeper for too many years now. These brightly colored succulents last and Brian last with MINTER the very minimum of care, and they will stand up well in almost any location. Purchase them at the ‘tight-bud’ stage, just before the blossoms begin to open, and each month try one of the many different colors, from yellows and pinks, to deep reds and oranges. Beautiful double flowering varieties called, ‘calendivas’, are now available. This is just the beginning of azalea season, and they are, without a doubt, one of my favourites. Growers have now perfected small plants
that will produce huge blossoms that last very well. Just a couple of essential notes on their care: First, never purchase a plant unless the buds are beginning to open evenly. Early in the season, sometimes the smaller plants can be forced too quickly, allowing only a few buds to open while the others abort. Second, they are one plant you need to water, and I mean soak thoroughly every day. Azaleas will take high or low temperatures and light, and do they ever last well. I’m truly amazed how orchids have caught on as houseplants. Phalaenopsis, or Moth orchids, lead the way with exotic pink, white, and mauve blossoms that last for weeks. They need so little care and stand up so well that they make a super gift. Check out the prices too – with so many growers now producing for our local market, the prices have really come down to the point where for long lasting enjoyment, orchids are, by far, the best value.

Going to the source of Mexican handicrafts Peter Neville-Hadley Meridian Writers’ Group Around a hundred years ago Guadalajara, due to its rail link to the United States, became Mexico’s commercial centre. The city’s elite built elaborate courtyard mansions in villages on the outskirts where they could retire for some peace and quiet. The city’s famous handicrafts makers, squeezed out by modern factories and new development, also headed for the surrounding countryside, where today they produce the majority of Mexico’s traditional crafts. So when the modern visitor has finished walking about the spacious plazas of Guadalajara’s historic heart, dominated by the domes and soaring, yellow-tiled spires of its 450-year-old cathedral, it’s time to follow the exodus to the outlying villages to find a mix of mansion and market. At Tlaquepaque, only a few kilometres southeast of the city centre and reachable by public bus, vast courtyard palaces have been turned into elegant, upmarket shopping centres with selfconsciously designed items priced to match the ambiance. The town has long been a stop for tours,
and many a visitor takes home enough leather goods, furniture, fabrics and art to furnish a home. Far fewer reach Tonalå, the source of many of these items, just a few kilometres further southeast. There, every Thursday and Sunday, this warren of family-run, small-scale workshops wakes up at around 4 a.m. to start on the construction of a vast street market. Its stalls are erected from rough sheets of plastic, metal frames, straps and cables, each stuffed with the best of Mexico’s crafts. Wherever else you actually buy these products, whether rough and traditional or modernized and trendy, the chances are they originated here. Wholesalers arrive from all over the country to buy in bulk, but individual shoppers are also welcome. Even for those determined to keep their wallets to themselves the market offers hours of gaudy, bustling spectacle, with scarcely a foreign face to be seen—which also helps to keep prices far lower than at tourist markets. From fabrics to furniture, and the inevitable jewellery, embroidery and ceramics, much of the work here carries traditional themes of fruit or images of the sun and moon. Plaster saints sit
next to more modern and less Mexican items such as children’s shoes, furniture for dolls’ houses, t-shirts and animal figures made entirely from cast-off pistons, cogs and bits of bicycle chain. By 11 a.m., with mariachi bands starting up on street corners and the temperature rising, it’s time to follow the scent of freshly cut limes to a food stall and sit down elbow-to-elbow with local people for a cold drink and tacos. The buildings behind the stalls—part house, part workshop, part warehouse, part shop—are where family businesses produce their individual specialities. In one the air is gelatinous with the smell of varnish being hand-brushed onto small ceramic turtles. In another, glassblowers snip, spin, bend and inflate blobs of molten, incandescent glass, working together in a choreographed manner that’s part craftsmanship, part stage performance, and open all week long. So if you happen to miss a market day, Tonalå is still worth the trip. Explore More:

A two-day course next week for sport fishing and aboriginal groups is geared to reducing fishing-related conflicts on the lower Fraser River. The focus will be on “peace-making” processes and developing skills for collaborative approaches, which is wholly different than “peace-keeping” efforts, said David Moore, executive director of the Fraser River Salmon Table. The workshops are set for Jan. 18-19 at Sumas First Nation. Attendees will delve into some of the access issues and challenges that arise on the lower river, as well as ways to foster relationships and capacity, while developing skills for better fisheries management. The “peace-maker” training program is being put on by a partnership led by Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Fraser Valley Watersheds Coalition, Monitoring and Compliance, and the Integrated Salmon Dialogue Forum. Reps from the Salmon Table and the Sport Fishing/First Nations Joint Working Group will be attending.

Seussical the Musical packs a solid entertainment punch, while heralding the gentle powers of friendship, community and loyalty. Billed as a “fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza” Seussical opens Friday night at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, presented by the Chilliwack School of Performing Arts. Director Andrew Smith said he chose Seussical the Musical for CSOPA performers because he’s a big fan of the writing team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, and he’s a Monty Python buff to boot. “I love their work. Ahrens and Flaherty are the hottest writing team on Broadway now,” Smith said. “Also it hit all the marks of
January Sidewalk Sale January 6 - 16, 2011
what we were looking for in a musical.” The writers have “lovingly brought to life” everyone’s favourite Dr. Seuss characters, like Horton the Elephant played by Will Hutchinson, Cat in the Hat by Brandon Mindel, and a little kid with a big imagination, Jojo, played by Olivia Simpson. It’s a fairly large cast of 23 putting on Seussical, and presenting the production in the large, new cultural centre has been a treat for CSOPA. “I also think everyone in the community can relate to some of these characters,” the director said. “My challenge was choosing a show that’s not only artistically rewarding but something the whole community can get excited about.” The Seussical story revolves
around Horton, who finds himself faced with a double challenge. Not only must he protect his tiny friend, Jojo, from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left in his care. Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him, the only one who recognizes his kind and powerful heart. The power of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged and they emerge triumphant. Mayzie La Bird will be played by Gemma Bridgefoot, the Sour Kangaroo by Brittany Clough, while Emily Janzen will play Gertrude McFuzz. The Mayor of Whoville will be played by Maxwell Glover, Krista Skwarok as Mrs. Mayor, Caylen Braun as General Genghis Khan Schmitz, and Mayzie’s Bird Girls
by Jacklyn Kirsch, Alycia Duncan, Hannah deNevers, Katy Fairley and Hyacinthe Lithgow. Rounding out the cast are Ella Stuart, Jonathan Woyke, Emily Lesage, Meghan Mindel, Kate Stuart, Anastasia Smith, Carmen Sigurdson, Sebastian WarkentinScott, and Brandon Grove as The Grinch. Chris King is the musical director, while Shelley Wojcik is the choreographer. The set is by Kate Whyte, costumes by Heather Westergard and lighting by Jamea Lister. • Seussical the Musical opens on Friday, Jan. 14, and runs until Sunday, Jan. 23. Discount preview night is on Thursday, Jan. 13, with matinées on Jan. 15, 16, 22, 23. Evening show times are 7:30 p.m., matinée show times at 2 p.m. Ticket prices are $17/$14 at 604391-SHOW (7469).

Here’s a chance to design your life a little differently. Grab a gently used outfit from your closet, with some smart accessories and head out to the Best Western tonight to swap it all for a good cause. It’s called Girls’ Night Out and it’s a special fundraiser for the Ann Davis Transition Society, says organizer Wendy Hauser. “I have always wanted to do something in the community to help support Ann Davis Transition Society and the work they do,” she said. Participants can shop around the various tables for any items they think they might like, roughly equivalent to what they’ve brought. Any leftovers at the end of the night will be donated to the Transition Society. Live entertainment, snacks, as well as makeup and hair touchups, and skin care displays are all part of the excitement. “If it’s a success, I can’t see why it couldn’t become an annual event,” Hauser said. Girls’ Night Out, Jan. 14, 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Tickets are $20, cash only. Bring women’s clothing, jewelry, shoes and purses. For more information 604-613-4056.

Green Heart Revue
www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1
REVUE from p26 When people ask the band to describe its sound, they say 90’s indie rock. “It’s the easiest reference point for someone who has never heard us. We all just really like rock and roll music and are music nerds.” So what does the name refer to, if not the obvious? “The band name refers to the verb ‘weed’ as in to weed out, more than anything else. It was chosen because it was an easy name to remember.” There’s something special about the old Arts Centre, says the drummer. “When I first started going to shows in Chilliwack, they would all be there. When I found out the location was for sale, I had to make sure I organized something right away, just out of pure nostalgia and the fact that I’ve never had the chance to play there.” Green Heart Revue, Jan. 21, Arts Centre, Doors 7, show at 7:30, $5 at the door.

Bruins bomb Cougars to open mini-series Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Is a quirk in the Western Hockey League regular season schedule just the thing the Chilliwack Bruins need to pick up their post-season hopes? Normally, the slate of games includes a whole lot of oneand-dones and the occasional home-andhome, providing little opportunity to build animosity. Hatred of an opponent usually ramps up the intensity and brings out the best in both teams, but not until you get into bestof-seven playoff series do you usually see it. Thank goodness for the Prince George Cougars then, a team whose middle-ofnowhere location leads to creative scheduling, in this case back-toback-to-back games against Chilliwack. The three-meet started Wednesday at Prospera Centre with a 5-2 Bruins win, and continues with two more this weekend in PG. By the end of the weekend, these two teams should loathe each other, and hopefully the Bruins (19-182-1) will be better for it. “It’s three huge games and we’ve finished one off,” said Jamie Crooks, “Now we’ve got two more big ones that we’ve got to win.” This much we know for sure, Steve Oursov
and Jesse Forsberg already share a healthy dislike for each other. Chilliwack’s Oursov and PG’s Forsberg started Wednesday’s game with a good toeto-toe scrap, enthusiastically hammering away at each other. Oursov got the last word, tagging Forsberg with a solid right-handed bomb. The Bruins had the offence clicking in period one, and opened the scoring at 11:09. Crooks got a welldeserved assist, sweeping a centering pass to Kevin Sundher whilst lying on his belly along the left-wing boards. Sundher tipped the puck past Cougar keeper James Priestner for his 15th of the year. “Goals have been tough to come by this year, but I think I have more assists this year than I did last year,” said Crooks, the game’s first star. “Goal or assist doesn’t matter though, as long as the puck goes in.” Chilliwack’s lead doubled on a softie by Roman Horak. The Czech picked up the puck in the very, very, very high slot and floated a shot past Priestner at 15:48. With the way they were playing, the Bruins deserved that break. “It seems when we work for the breaks, they come a lot easier,” Crooks noted. “If you’re not working for them, you’re not going to get them. We worked

tonight and we’ve got to keep doing that.” Shots on goal in period one favoured Chilliwack 12-6. In three prior matches between the two teams this season, every win has been via the shutout. But that odd little trend came to an end 2:35 into period two on a goal by Greg Fraser. The 18-year-old Nanaimo native got his 12th of the year on an unscreened shot from the left faceoff dot. But with PG pressing hard for the equalizer, unlikely sniper Blair Wentworth restored the two-goal lead. The 18-year-old Calgar y
native took a pass from Tim Traber and roofed a shot over Priestner’s glove for his second of the year at 13:49. Shots on goal in period two favoured Chilliwack 13-9. Unbeaten when leading through 40 minutes (13-0-0-0), the Bruins added to their lead on Jesse Zgraggen’s first Western Hockey League goal. A couple decades from now, the 17-yearold might remember it as a howitzer from the point. In actuality, it was a just-put-it-onnet wrister that beat Priestner through a
screen at 7:10. Ryan Howse finished off a feed from Jamie Crooks 82 seconds later to put the game well out of reach and Fraser scored his second of the game on a late PG power play to make the final score a bit more respectable. The Cougars were chirpy and chippy in the waning moments, par ticularly Jesse Forsberg. Forsberg wanted to fight T.C. Cratsenberg and had to be restrained by two linesman when the Bruin wouldn’t take the bait. On the ensuing power play, Howse
took a two-handed slash across the wrist from Charles Inglis. There’s a good chance ill will’s going to carry over to the weekend. “We’ve got to stay away from that, let it go and and play it like any other game,” Crooks cautioned. “Sure it might be in the back of our minds, but it’ll just make us play harder.” Crooks was the game’s first star, followed by Blair Wentworth (second) and Jesse Zgraggen (third). The next home game is Tuesday, Jan. 18 as Chilliwack hosts the Spokane Chiefs.

This weekend’s back-toback games are absolutely massive for the Bruins, who enter Friday night trailing the Cougars by four points in the B.C. division standings. Neither team has gained traction in the season series, with both squads taking two wins in four meetings. The Cougars have blanked the Bruins twice and Chilliwack has shut out Prince George once. Wednesday’s game was the first that didn’t result in a goose-egg.

Hard work paying p y g off Blocking shots in a close game is one thing, but seeing guys sacrifice their bodies late in the game with the Bruins up by four goals is another, writes Jacob Bestebroer Chilliwack Bruins radio colour man Jacob Bestebroer saw some Bestebroer very good signs during a 5-2 midweek win over the Prince George Cougars. In this week’s column, he highlights the benefits of a lunch-pail philosophy. philosophy. A solid effort from every player was the key to the Bruins defeating the Prince George Cougars 5-2 at Prospera Centre Wednesday Wednesday night. Here are a few things from that game that stood out to me. Ryan Howse scored one goal and created at least a half dozen other quality chances for himself and his linemates. But his most important play in the game was a defensive effort early in the third period. With the Bruins on the power play, the Cougars broke up the play and were off to the races on a two on one. Howse, playing the point and about 30 feet behind the play, was able to catch up was and break up the play just inside the Bruins just blueline. Plays like that lead to wins. Blair Wentworth’s second period goal was another example was of good things happen-
ing to hard workers. Tim Traber and Mike Forsyth did the dirty work on the play, getting in quickly on the forecheck and creating a turnover. Wentworth took advantage of that hard work by getting in the open lane with his stick on the ice. Result: goal. This trio will never score a lot, but if they play like that they are a very important part of this Bruins team. T.C. Cratsenberg’s verbal prowess had several members of the Cougars off their game. Whatever he was saying to Charles Inglis and Jesse Forsberg was hitting the mark. With the Cougars trailing by three with just over six minutes left in the third he goaded Forsberg into taking a penalty that eliminated any chance the Cougars had of coming back. The Bruins were at their best blocking shots in this game. Blocked shots are a key part of today’s game and it’s something the Bruins work on in practice. Blocking shots in a close game is one thing, but seeing guys like Brandon Magee, Wentwor th and Cratsenberg sacrifice
their bodies late in the game with the Bruins up by four goals is another. First star Jamie Crooks had maybe his best game of the season. His play to sett up Kevin Sundher forr the game’s first goal was another example of how never giving up on a play can pay off. With the puck drifting into the Cougars corner, it seemed like a good scoring chance had disappeared. Crooks did not think k so, got to the loose puck and simply putt it towards the front off the net. Kevin Sundher had also not given up on the play and was driving to the net with his stick on the ice. From what seemed to be an impossible angle the puck bounced offf Sundher’s stick and into the back of the Cougars net. The win didn’t move the Bruins out of fifth spot in the B.C. division, but it did putt them four points back k of the Cougars who are tied with Vancouver in first. The Bruins and Cougars play each other Friday and Saturday night. Both games are in Prince George. jb@chilliwackbruins.com

Midget Bruins take one from Chiefs Playing their first games after emerging from a lengthy holiday break, the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League’s Fraser Valley Bruins split a pair with the Vancouver NE Chiefs last weekend. Game one was a 4-2 loss, with the good
guys digging themselves into a 3-1 hole after 20 minutes. Austin Ferguson (Abbotsford) scored in the opening frame and Travis Oddy (Abbotsford) struck in the second, but the Chiefs responded on a pair of Adam Rockwood tallies and singles by Michael Scobie and Dominic Centis. The Bruins rebounded nicely on Sunday,
thumping the Chiefs 6-2. The Chiefs led 2-0 after 20 minutes on goals by Tyler Martin and Daniel Del Bianco. The Bruins efficiently erased the deficit with second period goals by Oddy and Ferguson, and blew the Chiefs away with a four-goal third. Devon Toews (Abbotsford), Connor Bowen (Abbotsford),
Dakota Schipper (Chilliwack) and Jackson Playfair (Abbotsford) had the goals. The Bruins sport a record of 8-14-6 heading into Week 16 action. The team heads to Chase for a pair of road games against the mighty Vancouver NW Giants (18-3-5). Get MMHL information online at www. bchockey.ca.

Sports Change of address Friesen on fire as basketball Cascades down Dinos Monday’s BCHL trade deadline saw a Chilliwack native pack his bags and head for Coquitlam. The Coquitlam Express finalized their roster for the remainder of the 2010-11 season by adding goaltender Billy McGladrey, along with forward Tyler Griffith and defenceman Cody Castro . McGladrey started this season with the
Osoyoos Coyotes of the Kootenay International Junior League, appearing in 12 games. In those games, the 17-year-old collected nine wins with a 2.88 goals against average. McGladrey’s large body covers the net and he has a wide range of motion. With time, the Express expect him to grow into his body and develop into a full-time starter.
Cloverdale clubbed four and led 3-2 heading into the third. Two goals in 11 seconds at the start of the final frame put the game away, though Cloverdale got one late to make the final more palatable. Five different skaters scored for the Bruins; Brock Menges, Zach Robertson, Wil Krushnir yk, Aidan Lawson and Blake Bonnar. The hard hat award went to goaltender Ben Mazerolle for his outstanding work between the pipes.
Chilliwack’s peewee A2 junior Bruins scored a big 5-3 win over Cloverdale on Sunday. Cloverdale opened the scoring, but the locals answered back with two goals on a five-minute power play. The Bruins added another playing four on
