Cultus Lakers vie for byelection attention Homeowners hope to change ‘undemocratic’ representation Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack byelection candidates will be asked to help Cultus Lake residents alleviate “dysfunction” and update the Cultus Lake Park Act to reflect the realities of 2012. Cultus Lake resident Gary Lister and his wife, Sue, are collecting signatures for a petition to present ChilliwackHope byelection candidates, who will be vying for the MLA seat vacated recently by Barry Penner. They were knocking on doors both days over the weekend and have already amassed more than 100 signatures. “Most people at the lake don’t understand why the majority of commissioners are elected from Chilliwack,” he said. “They don’t think it’s fair.” Almost everyone they approached wanted to sign, except for a renter who would soon be moving, said Sue Lister. “I think if more people were aware of the situation, they would want things changed,” she said. Their petition seeks to correct the “undemocratic” election rules imposed on Lakers whereby the majority of the Cultus Lake Park Board commissioners, five of them, are elected by Chilliwack residents, while only two are elected by Cultus Lake residents. “The Board needs to be elected by the people they govern like every other local government in British Columbia,” writes Gary Lister in the preamble, calling it a “fundamental principle of our democracy.” For Chilliwack residents, he described it as tantamount to having the majority of their city councillors Continued: CULTUS/ p14

About 200 teachers and supporters lined Luckakuck Way on Monday afternoon in an effort to raise awareness for their fight for public education. Teachers were also rallying outside various schools throughout the district. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Teachers take protest to the streets Katie Bartel The Progress Chilliwack teachers took to the streets Monday to raise awareness around their fight for public education. For three hours, from 2:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m., approximately 200 teachers rallied along Vedder Road and Luckakuck with signs explaining the union’s side and hopes for supportive honks. They weren’t the only ones. After months of job action and ongoing clashes with the provincial government, teachers across the province imposed a day of action. “We need to do something now to make more public aware-

ness of the fact we’re still in this fight,” said Chilliwack Teachers’ Association president Katharin Midzain. “People need to know that public education is at a very critical point of dismantling.” Monday’s day of action came on the heels of the B.C. Education Ministry announcing last Thursday it would be setting in motion legislation to end the strike. Minister of Education George Abbott made the announcement following a report by the government’s fact-finder, Trevor Hughes, who concluded it “very unlikely” the BC Teachers’ Federation would reach a voluntary agreement with the BC School Employers’

Association. The report sited 78 face-toface bargaining sessions, and of more than 1,000 issues on the table, only nine were agreed upon. If legislation is drawn up, a netzero contract would be imposed on the union. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon spoke on the issue following a Chilliwack Rotary meeting Friday. He said the teachers’ union has been told, “Look, you’re coming off a 16 per cent wage increase, you’ve got very generous benefits that most in the private sector would love to have, and we’re just asking them to do what every other public sector

union has signed onto, which is a zero increase, no net increase, over two years. We think that is very reasonable.” “The fact of the matter is we’ve spent one year and over 75 face-to-face meetings trying to get to some basis to have an agreement,” said Falcon. “Unfortunately, we’ve made absolutely no progress and therefore we’re left with no alternative really but to now consider the legislative option.” In 2005, when the government issued back-to-work legislation, teachers responded with a province-wide strike lasting 10 school days.

BC Liberal, NDP MLAs duke it out in Chilliwack-Hope Robert Freeman The Progress The byelection in ChilliwackHope is in full swing, if the tit-fortat over the court backlog issue is any indication. NDP justice critic Leonard Krog squared off against John Les on Thursday after the Chilliwack MLA called NDP party leader Adrian Dix a “hypocrite” for coming to Chilliwack to attack the BC Liberals for creating the backlog. Les said there wouldn’t even be a courthouse in Chilliwack, if the NDP had their way. But Krog dug up a news release from May, 2000 that showed, in fact, it was the NDP govern-

ment that approved funding for the new courthouse in downtown Chilliwack. “John Les’s bluster about the justice issue is to try and draw attention from the fact that Chilliwack faces the worst delays in the province,” Krog told The Progress. “Mr. Les wants to engage in a policy of red herrings because he knows this is the case,” he said. “There’s no one to blame for this (backlog) except the BC Liberals. They created it.” But Les didn’t back down, giving Krog as good as he got. “Krog conveniently skirts around the fact that if they (the NDP) had their way, there would be no courthouse in Chilliwack

today,” Les insisted. “In 1998 they were closing the courthouse, period,” said Les, who was Chilliwack mayor at the time. “There was no mention at all of any new court facility being built.” Les said that in 1991 the NDP government cancelled plans that were already on the books for a new Chilliwack courthouse on a property bought by the city near Young Road and Chilliwack Central Road. “It was all ready to go when the (Mike) Harcourt government came in and cancelled everything,” he said. “Leonard Krog was part of that government,” Les added. When the closure of the old

courthouse on College Street was announced in 1998, Chilliwack residents took to the streets in protest. “As a community, we rose up as one,” Les said. “It was probably the one time (during his 13 years as mayor) the community really came together.” Les said he later met with Ujjal Dosanjh, the NDP AttorneyGeneral, and “hashed out” an agreement to keep the College Street courthouse open while a regional justice committee was created, which eventually recommended building the new courthouse seen today in downtown Chilliwack. Funding for the new facility

came from the NDP government and the City of Chilliwack. “From my experience, if the NDP had stayed in government, they would have welshed on that too,” Les said. “I think the record is pretty clear,” he added, “as far as justice in Chilliwack is concerned, the NDP has not been our friend.” Krog was just as adamant the BC Liberal record shows that government places no value on justice, hiring fewer judges than any other province in Canada. “The fact is, the message from the BC Liberals, especially in Chilliwack, is justice doesn’t matter,” he said.

No evidence that American fugitive from justice lived in Chilliwack Robert Freeman The Progress

in need, which will eventually make it more attractive for investment and redevelopment in downtown Chilliwack.” The new building will allow them to offer expanded services at Ruth & Naomi’s. In addition to feeding the needy in a new dining hall with a new commercial grade kitchen, they will also offer transitional housing spaces upstairs. “This means so much to those people in Chilliwack who are marginalized and in need,” he said of the new building.

An American fugitive from justice reportedly bought a townhouse on Cowichan Place in Chilliwack. But it’s not clear whether Steven William Dyer, a 44-year-old convicted of child molesting in the U.S., ever lived in the townhouse. “That’s one of the things that’s being looked at right now,” RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said Monday. “It’s one of the details that investigators are trying to trace back,” RCMP Sgt. Pound said. Wolbeck said the RCMP serious crimes unit now has conduct of the Chilliwack part of the investigation, but she added that “we have no evidence to support Mr. Dyer was criminally active in Chilliwack.” Sgt. Pound told another media outlet last week that part of the RCMP’s investigation will include whether the purchase of the Chilliwack townhouse and a condo in Vancouver constitute crimes. Dyer was arrested last week in Montreal by Canada Border Services agents. CBSA investigator Cindy Lepur told The Progress that Dyer bought a house in Chilliwack, but she refused to disclose the address or how long Dyer might have lived there. She also said Dyer was living under an assumed name, and was employed during the 10 years he lived in Canada, but she again refused to disclose the nature of that employment. According to a media report, Dyer was living under the name “Brian Woolworth” and worked as a playground designer. He reportedly bought the Chilliwack townhouse in 2008. Wolbeck said she could not confirm the alias or the Cowichan Place location. According to the America’s Most Wanted website, Dyer “had a clean criminal history, and portrayed himself as a wealthy, upstanding citizen with a heart of gold, always willing to go out of his way to help others.”

Ruth and Naomi’s gains opening day gift Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Ruth & Naomi’s Mission reps in Chilliwack were surprised to receive a cheque for $387,000 from the provincial government Saturday. More than 400 people attended the grand opening of their new building downtown at the corner of Margaret Avenue and Fletcher Street. “It was a wonderful grand opening celebration,” said Wayne Massey, Ruth & Naomi’s board chair. The turnout is proof positive, he said, that the com-

munity has taken ownership of Ruth & Naomi’s, a faithbased ministry which feeds and houses the homeless of Chilliwack. “We were also most fortunate to receive an amazing contribution to the project, delivered in person by Chilliwack MLA John Les.” They had applied for funding to cover the environmental cleanup costs, but had been awaiting word on the result of their application. The $1-million project ended up with a $450,000 mortgage after the construction of the new building, due to an expensive environmen-

tal remediation process to remove underground contamination at the former gas station site. The newly announced funding from the BC government will almost completely erase the project’s debt. “It means we’re almost out of the woods now,” said Massey. The building’s assessed value is estimated at almost $1.5 million. “We think this will become a catalyst for downtown redevelopment,” said Massey. “We have worked hard to build a facility to address the issues faced by those

More than money need to fix courts: Falcon Robert Freeman The Progress B.C. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon says there is money in the new provincial budget to hire more judges, but the judicial system itself needs reform to end court backlogs. “Not surprisingly, the NDP can’t read budgets well,” Falcon said, after presenting a budget summary to the Chilliwack Rotary Club Friday. “If they looked at the budget, they’d see an additional $237 million over the next three years, not only for the judicial and court systems, but also for policing,” he said. But, he added, “We’re saying the system itself needs reform and we’re not just going to keep throwing money in that black hole until we see improvements made there too.” Falcon was reacting to the NDP charge that the BC Liberal government puts a low priority on justice, and has allowed the system to deteriorate over the last 11 years. NDP Justice Critic Leonard Krog said

this has led to a doubling of judicial stays and is proof that justice “doesn’t matter” to the BC Liberal government. “You can’t pretend to be tough on crime and you’re wasting the efforts of courageous police officers up until the moment of trial, and then tossing it because you don’t have enough judges and early enough trial dates,” Krog said. Criminals are walking free as a result of trial delays, he said, and parents are left twisting in an agonizing legal limbo as they try to regain custody of children apprehended by the children and family development ministry. The Chilliwack courthouse is tied with Surrey for the longest trial delays for adult criminal cases, and tops the list for wait-times for child protection trials. But Falcon said — and former NDP Attorney-General Ujjal Dosanjh agrees — that court backlogs have long plagued the province. The finance minister said the province is hiring more judges, court sheriffs and administra-

Politicians trade shots as byelection nears POLITICIANS from p3 The number of judicial stays has doubled to 109, and Chilliwack is tied with Surrey for the longest trial delays for adult criminal cases, and the new courthouse tops the list for wait-times for child protection trials. “You can’t pretend to be tough on crime and you’re wasting the efforts of courageous police officers up until the moment of trail, and then tossing it because you don’t have enough judges and early enough trial dates,” Krog said. Criminals are walking free because of the stayed cases, he noted, and parents are left twisting in an agonizing legal limbo as they try to regain custody of children apprehended by the ministry. Les said the BC Liberal government is conducting a sweeping review of the justice system to arrive at a rational remedy, while the NDP would simply throw money at the problem. But Krog said the BC Liberal government has had 11 years to study the problem, and that no victim of crime would consider putting criminals behind bars a waste of taxpayers’ money. “I don’t think the public believes that you throw away money when you catch and prosecute criminals,” he said. “The public doesn’t see that as money thrown away.” No date has been set for the byelection.

tive staff. “But we’re also saying we need the court system itself to make some changes to improve their efficiencies,” Falcon said. “Because the reality is, if you roll back the tape to the 1990s when the NDP were government, the same (court backlog) stories were all over the newspaper,” he said. But the present backlog is a “significant part” of what currently ails B.C.’s justice system, he

agreed. “When you have major trials that can take over five years and cost over $100 million, that is a red flag to the public that we have to find a better way to do things,” he said. Dosanjh told a CTV reporter on Feb. 16 that delays in the provincial court system aren’t a new phenomenon, and it will take more than money to fix the problem. Vancouver lawyer Geoffrey Cowper has

been hired by the B.C. government to conduct a sweeping review of B.C.’s court system and make recommendations. But Falcon added he is “challenging the judiciary to do their part in working with government to say, ‘Let’s try and improve things for the benefit of the public, for the benefit of (court) outcomes and for the benefit of the taxpayer.” rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

~ For the record ~ The 35-year byelection dry spell for B.C. government candidates was broken by BC Liberal Premier Christy Clark, a fact not reported in a Progress story last week. Clark’s byelection victory was reported in two previous stories, but a clarification was needed to set the record straight.

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Not ever yone in Chilliwack is thrilled with changes proposed in the 25-year BC Transit Future Plan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; particularly those with mobility challenges. Monday afternoon marked the start of BC Transit open houses across the Fraser Valley to allow the public a final chance to offer feedback on the sweeping transit plan. Chilliwack resident Shelly Hlady said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been disabled for years and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk very far, and so the proposed bus route changes in the plan do not constitute better service for her â&#x20AC;&#x201D; or for others like her. They actually provide less service to the suburbs like Fairfield Island area of Chilliwack, she wrote in her copy of the regional transit survey contained in the Riderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bulletin last week. Transit officials are sur veying ridership opinion on the planned changes in anticipation of the open house events this week. Both the â&#x20AC;&#x153;directnessâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;convenienceâ&#x20AC;? of the routes have decreased for Hlady. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m concerned, it is less service not more,â&#x20AC;? she told

The Progress. In order to respond to one of the most pressing demands from transit users, officials created a quicker north-south bus route on the Vedder-Yale corridor that comes every 20 minutes. In fact, transit planners emphasized that crucial change for phase one of the Chilliwack transit overhaul. But thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only good if you have business on Vedder Road, said Hlady. She said she understood from her recent conversations with city and BC Transit officials that while some of the old routes used to cater more to people who couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk very far, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anymore in the redesigned route system. Unfortunately she said she is only eligible for so many taxi coupons a month on disability, and handiDART hours donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always mesh with her medical appointments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hardly get out as it is,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a lot of fun not being independent.â&#x20AC;? One sore spot is that the new bus route going by Cottonwood and Chilliwack malls will let riders off at Luckakuck Way and will not take them into the mall parking lots anymore. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They expect people to walk to the front of the malls? It means Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d have to walk the length of the parking lot. To

tell me I will have then have to walk back out and stand by the highway in the rain, is impossible.â&#x20AC;? Mayor Sharon Gaetz said she has the deepest compassion for people with mobility issues. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So I can understand that to have another loss this way must surely add to the frustration,â&#x20AC;? she said. But for most, the proposed changes include more â&#x20AC;&#x153;directâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;streamlinedâ&#x20AC;? routes and later hours of service, Gaetz said. In a broad sense the goal was to get buses moving faster down the main drag, and one of the consequences was the decision to eliminate the stops inside the malls, which allowed them to shave minutes off the waiting time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That could be tough for anyone with disabilities or canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t walk,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It will also be tougher for seniors.â&#x20AC;? But unfortunately the mandate of city council is to reach as many as they can with changes like transit improvements. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For some this will mean faster service,â&#x20AC;? Gaetz said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our biggest priority was to get kids to university campuses both along Vedder and downtown. That was built into the plan.â&#x20AC;? There simply isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough funding to serve every need, with ridership only accounting for 30 per cent of

the costs of transit, with the balance covered by BC Transit and the city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If we could get four new buses at once in Chilliwack, we could do it, but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We get one bus a year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So at some point those routes could be re-established but right now we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the wheels to make it happen.â&#x20AC;?

Model of restraint

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

The new provincial budget is among the most restraint-minded handed down by a provincial government since the 1980s. That’s the word from Bob Plecas, who should know. He was a deputy minister in the Bill Bennett Social Credit government of the mid-1980s, one which brought down the infamous “restraint” budget in 1983. That prompted the Solidarity movement and brought the province perilously close to a general strike. Finance Minister Kevin Falcon brief Chilliwack Rotarians about the budget Friday. (See story, page five,) The current deficit is now projected at $2.5 billion, down a bit from $3 billion. Medical Service Plan premiums are on the rise again — 22 per cent in four years. There is no HST relief for people who wish to do home renovations, except for seniors. It’s too bad it won’t be extended to everyone, at least until the PST returns next April 1. It would act as a boost to the economy. The $10,000 grant to first-time home buyers is a welcome and surprise addition. First-time buyers should look at prices carefully, and see if the grant will allow them to buy. There is no boost to the education budget, other than $165 million to address classroom composition. While this is necessary due to a court ruling that went against the government, the lack of a funding boost will likely anger teachers, who want a 15 per cent pay raise over three years. Falcon also stated that the final increase to the carbon tax will go ahead as scheduled on July 1. However, he signalled that the tax will be reviewed, and it is possible that it could be eliminated. While B.C. broke new ground when it brought the carbon tax in, no other jurisdiction has followed its lead. A recent study indicates that coal is a much greater source of carbon emissions than oil and gas. This should cause the government to pause. If its real concern is carbon emissions, perhaps it needs to consider how much B.C. coal is being exported — with no carbon tax of any kind being applied. The government focus on restraint is necessary, but it must examine how taxes impact individuals and the environment. ~ Black Press

Take heart, there are ways to lower stroke risk Just as the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada wraps up its month-long ‘heart month’ to raise awareness of heart health and the dangers of heart disease and stroke, some good news regarding the value of fruits and vegetables has been reported in Stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association. Researchers in the U.K. and the U.S.A examined how the consumption of a class of compounds call flavonoids present in fruits (especially citrus fruits), vegetables, dark chocolate, and red wine can help reduce the risk of stroke in women. Flavonoids have powerful antioxidant properties so they are able to reduce inflammation, help repair cellular damage and promote healthy arteries. Heart disease and stroke are the underlying causes for death in one in three Canadians and,

according to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, about 50,000 strokes happen each year, taking the lives of 15,000 Canadians. Some 300,000 Canadians are living with the effects of a stroke and the impact to the Canadians economy is around $2.7 billion each year. So any pro-active step that people can take to help to avoid the devastatMargaret ing consequences EVANS from a stroke or heart disease is always good news. “Studies have shown higher fruit, vegetable and specifically vitamin C intake is associated with reduced stroke risk,” said Aedin Cassidy, Ph.D., in a press release issued by Norwich Medical School in the University of East Anglia,

U.K. where Cassidy is professor of nutrition and lead author of the study. “Flavonoids are thought to provide some of that protection through several mechanisms, including improved blood vessel function and an anti-inflammatory effect.” The research team used 14 years of follow-up data from the U.S.-based Nurses’ Health Study which was established in 1976. They followed 69,622 women who reported their food intake, including details of their fruit and vegetable consumption, every four years. They examined the relationship of the six main subclasses of flavonoids most frequently consumed and compared it to the risk of strokes. According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, a stroke is caused by the interruption of blood flow to the brain (ischemic stroke) or the rupture of blood

vessels in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke), causing sudden loss of brain function. Symptoms include weakness in the face, arm or leg, trouble speaking, vision problems, headache or dizziness. Immediate treatment is essential; for every minute of delay before treatment, the average patient loses 1.9 million brain cells. What the researchers found was that women who ate high amounts of flavonones in citrus had a 19 per cent lower risk of blood clot-related (ischemic) stroke than women who consumed the least amounts. Flavonones come primarily from oranges and orange juice (82 per cent) and grapefruit and its juice (14 per cent). However, the advice from the researchers is to consume the fruit itself rather than juice in order to avoid the additional high sugar content in commercial fruit juices. Women with a low intake con-

sumed about 150 mg or less a day while those with a high intake consumed over 470 mg/day. Both oranges and grapefruit each contain 40-55 mg of flavanones. According to the press release, another study found no association between yellow and orange fruits and stroke risk, but did link increased consumption of white fruits like apples and pears with lower stroke risk. Another study found that Swedish women who ate the highest levels of antioxidants, over half from fruits and vegetables, had fewer strokes than those with lower levels. Adding citrus fruits to the diet is one important part of a healthy lifestyle to deflect the risk of heart disease or stroke It’s up there with more exercise, less smoking, and moderate amounts of alcohol and caffeine.

Go deeper to understand climate change Professor Mike Mann (author of “The Hockey Stick and the Climate Wars”) whose research over the past two decades has been the target of much vitriol from the global warming denial camp spoke very calmly about the scientific evidence for the increases in average global temperatures and the contribution of human activities to that increase. He also took the time to talk frankly about the so-called Climategate scandal that the writer referred to. I would caution readers to be sure to check your sources of information when following up on this side issue. Professor Mike Hulme, an environmental scientist, urged his audience to consider the issue as “climate risk” rather than “climate change” and to ask “what are the dangers and for whom? And how do we manage them?” He co-authored the May 2010 “The Hartwell Paper” that proposes “that the organising principle of our effort should be the raising up of human dignity via three overarching objectives: ensuring energy access for all; ensuring that we develop in a manner that does not under-

mine the essential functioning of the Earth system; ensuring that our societies are adequately equipped to withstand the risks and dangers that come from all the vagaries of climate, whatever their cause may be.” Can you remember a time when the debate about smoking and its effect on health still had its deniers and we found that the studies being done to support them were underwritten by the tobacco industry? The climate change debate is similar in that powerful lobby groups are at work to discredit climate science and to cast doubt on the seriousness of the problem (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Climate_change_denial). In addition, the oil and gas industry contributes very heavily to political campaigns and lobbyists in the US. Yes, by all means, do go beyond the mainstream media, as Mr. Raddysh admonishes us, to become as well-informed as possible on this critically important issue. Vic Gladish Chilliwack, BC

Teachers trying to make the classroom better How grateful I am to have such wonderful supportive parents on the PAC at Strathcona Elementary, parents who encourage and appreciate the teachers in our school instead of slamming and shaming them publicly in the paper as Ms. Edmondson, (PAS president of McCammon) has done. (Parent angered by continued job action, Progress Feb. 28) I cannot believe she truly thinks teachers are not doing their jobs. I have been teaching since 1988 and I arrive at my school by 7:30 (I am never the first one there as others have already arrived before me) and seldom leave before 4:30. During this time of trying to bring attention to the frustration of lack of funding in our education system, most of my colleagues have made every effort to have personal conversations with parents of students. I send home a weekly bulletin, have talked with every family and met with many, time and time again, so that they are aware of the growth and needs of their child. In addition I, (like many other teachers across the province), give up my lunch to help with activities that make our schools a better community. In my case this means 3 lunch times a week to direct the drama/musical and meet with Grade 3 girls in a girls? group to help them learn friendship skills, communication skills and better social skills. Our government’s lack of respect for a work force whose members continually give, more than is asked or required, is absolutely appalling.

On Tuesday a group of their players came out and played a friendly match against our athletes. I have to say, what an awesome group of young men. They were kind and so genuine with their desire for all to have fun. Everyone had a blast and I have such respect for all the guys and the Chiefs as a team. Chilliwack is lucky to have young men like that come into our city. Thank you, Barry [Douglas] and Harvey [Smyl]. You are all winners in our eyes.

Re: “Global warming scam just a money grab” (Progress, Feb. 21) The writer might have started his letter with “I don’t claim to know how it all works” to warn the reader that the writer hadn’t done the research that he is urging others to do. Instead, he buries this proviso in paragraph 2 following a rant about “a wild-eyed fanatic.” The letter was written in support of Mr. Daher’s Feb. 15th letter, which had been subsequently criticized (Feb 16) for a serious lack of supporting statements. I would contend that Mr. Raddysh has made the same mistake. Having just attended, this past week, two, free, public lectures on Climate Change at SFU Downtown by climate scientists who were in Vancouver for a major science convention, I can attest that I did not see any fanatical sign-waving warning of the end of the world. They were, in fact, highly regarded scientists and reasonable men, who have a deep concern for the well-being of future generations of humans and for earth’s intricate ecosystems.

for things for â&#x20AC;&#x153;our kidsâ&#x20AC;? because they are not covered in any budget. I personally spent over $1,000 in 2011 (and have the receipts to prove it) to make certain that my students get to do fun projects, learn beyond the curriculum and have what is needed to go forward. Surveys show that I

am not alone in this personal spending to subsidize educational funding shortfalls. Last year I had four special needs children in my class and one educational assistant. She heroically made every effort to meet all of their needs, while basically doing the job of three people. Our classes get more difficult each year as we have children come to us with a myriad of social problems and emo-

tional issues. Yet we are told there is no funding available to meet the needs of these most vulnerable children. Teachers have to be more than teachers these days. We have to be miracle workers. I have loved my career as a teacher and have been very proud of the students I have taught. But I would have to say to young people looking for a career - think long and hard before

Coffee creating traffic chaos Coffee. It’s good stuff. And where better to get some, than at Tim Hortons. And it seems that many people think that way. Great! Except there’s a problem. Traffic. The drive thru line-up gets so long that cars start lining up on the road just to turn in. This happens mostly at the Tim Hortons on Yale Rd by Chilliwack Senior School. But what happens to the driver who’s not in the mood for cof-

fee and just wants to get home? Some might say you could pass on the right shoulder, but when there are cars parked along the side of the road, there’s no room to pass, and then you’re stuck waiting for 3 or more cars to turn left into the Tim Hortons parking lot, that’s full. Can the City do anything about this (other than tell us to just live with it, or make patrons go elsewhere when the parking lot is full)?

Could the City possibly put in a turning lane, leaving room for others to pass safely? All this would require is some new road markings, that would be an inexpensive solution in my opinion. Maybe someone else has a better suggestion. I would just like to see the roads safe and passable, even during the breakfast, lunch, and supper hour. Mieke Isaak

Teachers call for mediation TEACHERS from Front The teachers’ union has requested “unbiased” mediation on all issues, including wages, class size and composition. “In this budget [released last Tuesday] the government has increased funding to private schools by 0.7 per cent, but public schools by only 0.4 per cent,” said Midzain. “That doesn’t even keep

up with inflation, so really it’s a net decrease. They’re giving more funding to independent schools – what does that tell you about their priorities?” (The way government funding to independent schools works is based on a classification scale that provides private schools with either 50 per cent less than what public schools receive per student or 65 per cent less.)

As part of Monday’s day of action, teachers worked a “bell to bell” day, arriving at school just before the first bell and leaving school shortly after the last bell. Any extracurricular activities that could be rescheduled, such as practices, rehearsals, and even games in some cases, were rescheduled. As well, during the lunch hour, teachers at

all schools held union meetings to get up-todate information on negotiations, as well as to show that teachers get full lunch hours too. “The public needs to know that school teachers tend to be a quiet lot and we’re not willing to be contained anymore,” said Midzain. The union has scheduled a province-wide strike vote for Tuesday and Wednesday.

Les stepped down when he learned of the investigation, but McFee found no evidence that Les made improper land deals during his tenure as Chilliwack Mayor from 1987 to 1999. But McFee said he did find evidence to allege three counts of breach of trust against Sanborn.

We ask our muscles to go through repetitive patterns for us every day. Whether we are sitting at the computer or taking the dog out for a walk, we can develop restrictions that become all too familiar. You know the spots: that knot between your shoulder blades that only a door jamb can relieve, the stiffness in the back of your neck after a long day, and not to mention the achy feet after standing for hours at work! Massage therapy is merely one of many modalities that go a long way in promoting muscle balance, releasing those nasty restriction patterns and even helping you to say goodbye to your door jamb! For those of us who can’t get in to see our favourite practitioner, an old stand- by for those pesky points is a simple tennis ball. Find an open space to lie down or a spare piece of wall and place the tennis ball between you and it. Take your time and remember to breathe as you roll out the offending restriction!

Proven formulas for those fed-up with the rat race

How Average Canadians Are Creating and Protecting Their Wealth...

Do you believe one person has the same chance of being wealthy as the next? Or do you honestly think that most people who end up rich, got that way because of special circumstances?

and thriving in the current economy. They didn’t listen to the masses and lock themselves up in a dark basement, while waiting for things to “turn around”.

My name is Darren Weeks and I know from the bottom of my heart that everyone has the same chance. I am an average Joe. I grew up in a middle class family. I had no special breaks, and didn’t know any famous people who gave me my start. I definitely didn’t win any lottery.

No, they took action and realized that...

But I have done very well for my age... ...and I have shown thousands of Canadians how to copy my formula for financial independence. My company, the Fast Track Group, has been ranked among Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies for two straight years now. Last year, we finished 40th on PROFIT Magazine’s list. In 10 years, I have taken it from 5 employees in one tiny office, to over 100 employees and 14 offices. More than 350,000 Canadians have now attended Fast Track events. All our success has enabled us to support people that inspire us. The Fast Track Group is the title sponsor of Canada’s Luge team and we support them to the tune of over $1 million per year.

...turbulent times like this are where most of the wealthiest 1% made their biggest gains. One of my star students was a tradesperson who was fed up with trying to make ends meet every month. Rob Chaulk was a hard worker that knew his job wasn’t going to make life any easier. He also dabbled in some businesses along the way in the restaurant and towing business. But he didn’t become financially independent until he mastered the money game. I was fortunate enough to be the one who showed him how. He has quit the trades, and now owns multiple businesses and has millions of dollars in cash-flow-positive real estate properties. One simple shift in the way he thought about money, a solid action plan to move forward, and he now never again needs to worry about money or paying bills. I personally grew up in a middle class family with no special advantages or opportunities. The difference for me though was a significant desire to be and have more. It wasn’t about all the fancy toys... for me it was about putting an end to the time for money trap I saw everyone else falling for. It was about seeing more of the world. It was about raising a young family in an environment that was positive about money, and the opportunities abound that created more money for those with initiative. I immersed myself in the “Rich Dad” philosophies, and ultimately worked directly with Robert Kiyosaki to teach Canadian’s these same philosophies and how to take control of their financial future. I began investing in real estate. I started up businesses that supported my new money mindset. I tried to find others in Canada who I could talk to about this drive I had. It was difficult to find people who thought about money like I did...

“The difference for me though was a significant desire to be more and have more.” Darren Weeks

On top of providing FREE financial education to all Canadians, my company is able to offer better returns and tax savings to our investors thanks to our partnerships with multinational Companies. We are not some “fly-by-night corporation.” All this growth has put me in the spotlight – I’m a contributor for Canadian Real Estate Magazine and made countless TV appearances on stations such as BNN, CTV and City TV. It’s been a heck of a ride. Now it’s time to teach you how I did it, and how you can do it too! My greatest pride in all of this? Seeing my clients, students and peers succeeding

Don’t get me wrong, there were lots of successful Canadians out there, but I found it difficult to get them to sit with me and talk one-on-one about their own strategies for wealth creation.

wealth, starting from nothing, or starting with a solid base. My system worked for those who applied it. I travelled far too much and started to burn myself out. I stopped traveling and started leveraging. I built a team of 100 of the most passionate people in the country. They helped me get my message out to those who wanted out of the rat race. We pulled in our best students and success stories, and had them share their own examples on the road. The best part? My STAR student will pass on the knowledge to you. The formula that I taught continued to work for others who I had never personally taught. My system worked for anyone who understood it and applied it, whether or not I taught it to them directly or through my students. Is it your turn to master the money mindset? ...Most people are broke, and will stay that way for the rest of their life. My company has organized an event coming up in your city and we would like you to join us. There is no cost to attend, but you do need to commit to being there. My team is here to make sure you get the tools you need for creating the independence you crave. Which of these would you like to put a permanent end to? • Worrying about how you will EVER get ahead when the government continues to take what you make. • The fear that your children will not have solid opportunities to create wealth, as the present generations seem to be wasting it all away. • The jealousy you feel when someone else ends up doing exceptionally well financially, knowing FULL WELL you are as smart, or smarter, than they are. • Arguing with your spouse about money and the challenges that come with growing and protecting it. • Constantly fretting over the fine balance of saving, investing and playing with your money. • Dreaming about that long vacation you have always wanted and needed, yet knowing it may never happen at the rate you are going now.

So I sought out those who wanted greater wealth in their own life.

Give me 3 hours of your time and I’ll give you powerful strategies that are guaranteed to change your life.

Then I systematized what I had personally done to create wealth, and shared it with them for their own personal use. Those who had the drive to follow my system, ended up making millions. They became friends. They became peers. They became my inner circle mastermind partners. And they encouraged me to take my system bigger and share it with more people in Canada.

Find out how to get out of bad debt and into wise investments. Discover how anyone, no matter how dire their circumstances, can go from rags to riches in 5 years or less. My students and business partners are prime examples of how you can start with nothing and build a very healthy investment portfolio and business in 5 years or less.

So I did. I have spoken to thousands of people from every corner of our great country. I shared with them my formula for creating

The best part? We don’t just show you what to do... you get the formula to go as fast as you like, and can handle. Most seminars share the what – not the how. We show you both, with

specific examples, formulas and resources to get you there on your own pace. Don’t go it alone! Bring a friend or family member with you and enjoy the journey to wealth as a team. When you reserve your seat at this event, just mention who you want to bring and we will also give you a CD that sells for $39.95. Nothing good is ever FREE... right? Wrong. I know you may be sceptical because we aren’t charging you for this event. Think about this. Each one of my wealthiest students and clients started off at a free event just like this. They heard about an event just like this put on by my company. They attended and absorbed every ounce of information shared, and took MASSIVE ACTION. Each of them is now financially independent and able to live life on their own terms. What should you do next? Pick up your phone and dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.ChilliwackGetRich.ca and reserve your seat there. Find one or more friends or family members who want out of the rat race like you do... and get them a seat booked as well. Last? Don’t let anyone discourage you or get in your way. Real independence starts when you learn to ignore all the negative people in your life who don’t want you to succeed. Make sure you show up, take lots of notes, and immediately start putting these ideas into action. If I can show completely unknown individuals how to become financially independent in 5 years or less... why can’t you? This is the real deal and I have gone from $0 to $100 million in revenues in just 10 years using these strategies... my students are proof that my techniques work everywhere, for anyone who is willing to take action. Stop what you are doing right now and get your seat booked. Dial 1-877-742-4236 or visit our website at www.ChilliwackGetRich.ca and reserve your seat there. PS: Don’t be that person that has everything it takes to live free of financial worry, yet chooses to follow the path of financial devastation.

MADD: drunk driving destroys lives Katie Bartel The Progress Impaired driving destroys hearts, minds, families and lives – that was the message Chilliwack students at three middle schools heard last week. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) presented Damages, a 45-minute fictional video showcasing the effects of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, to students at Rosedale traditional, Chilliwack middle and Vedder middle. The audiences had students between the ages of 12 and 15 – not yet driving age. “Eventually these kids are going to be driving,” said Jason Kliiger of MADD Canada. “It’s good to let them know before they get behind the wheel how important the decisions they make are – the earlier we get to them the better.” The No. 1 cause of death for youth between the ages of 16 and 25 is road crashes. Of that, 45 per cent of those deaths are due to impaired driving. MADD Canada hopes the film will encourage young people to think more about making safer choices. Damages centres around Jesse Miller, a teenager who had been accepted into law school for the next year, but who made a decision that not only destroyed his life, but the lives of many others. After a night of drinking and smoking marijuana, he got behind the wheel of his dad’s car. His girlfriend was in the front seat with him, his best friend and younger sister were in the backseat. No one was wearing a seatbelt. Not long into the drive, Jesse lost control of the car, smashing into a parked vehicle. His girlfriend required a neck brace, his best friend was sentenced to a wheelchair, and his sister, who had been ejected from the car, was dead on impact. “The characters are fictional, but the scenarios are all too real,” said MADD Canada president Denise Dubyk in a press release. “We want to reinforce the messages about never driving impaired, or accepting a ride from someone who is impaired. We want them to understand that it is never worth the risk.” Real victim testimonials were also aired following the film. A mother, who lost her teenaged daughter four years ago at the hands of an impaired driver, sobbed as she recounted the last time she saw her – in a body bag, in the morgue. “I didn’t want to let her go,” she said. “They took her away and I never saw her again. They brought ashes back and said this is my daughter. I want her back.” A 15-year-old girl told the story of the night a drunk driver crashed head on into her parent’s vehicle. With her and her brother in the backseat, she remembers beating on the window trying to get out; a large bone sticking out of her brother’s pant leg; and her parents laying motionless in the front seat, wedged into the engine. “That was the last time I kissed my mom,” she said. “Living without my parents is absolutely terrifying. It’s not fair. I should still have a childhood, but I don’t.” The film concluded with the statement: Damages last forever. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Facebook prank goes viral Katie Bartel The Progress A Facebook prank that was only meant to fool friends has gone viral. Austin Knill has been fielding friend requests for days, maxing out at 999. “I haven’t been able to delete them fast enough,” he said. “My phone has been buzzing incessantly from friend requests.” All because of a so-called girlfriend who had apparently tattooed Knill’s face onto her forearm – after just one week of dating. Shortly before Va l e n t i n e ’ s Day, Knill and Cameron Kenis, both University of Victoria students who graduated from Sardis secondary, thought it would be fun to fool their friends into believing Knill had a crazy girlfriend. They created a fake Facebook account for Sara Hartly, complete with fake friends, and interests such as Taylor Swift, “stuff we thought typical girls would be interested in.” Knill also went on a pretend first date,

and reprogramed Kenis’ contact information to come up as Sara Hartly every time he texted or called to add to the credibility of her character. But this girl was not your typical sweet girlfriend that everyone instantly loves. “We knew we wanted to make her go completely and utterly insane and see how far we could push the boundaries,” said Knill. “We kind of wanted to make her seem like all the craziest movie characters you could imagine funneled into one super jealous girlfriend.” Think modern day Fatal Attraction. After just one date, Sara Hartly posted she was “in a relationship” with Knill. A couple days later, she started posting messages on Knill’s wall telling him she loved him and repeatedly asking if he loved her back. The coup de grâce happened one week after their first date when Hartly posted a photo of her forearm with a large tattoo of Knill’s face. “The comments from my friends lit up,”

said Knill, who had blended a photo of his face into a random arm found on the Web using Photoshop. “It surprised me that everyone thought there was actually someone out there crazy enough to get this done... It probably wouldn’t have worked had it not been for all the effort we put into making her seem like a real person beforehand.” Knill announced shortly after that it was a hoax, but by then the prank had already begun to spread, appearing on several social news websites, including Reddit, FAIL Blog, 9Gag, Memebase, and Cheeseburger. The story was also picked up by Maclean’s, CBC, and Huffington Post. “It’s amazing how huge this has gone,” said Knill. “”People are estimating it’s been seen by several hundred thousand viewers. Pretty much every continent, except Antarctica, has seen this. I’ve got all kinds of messages on Facebook, people from Malaysia, Russia, Poland, Argentina, France, Brazil – all these countries saying it’s huge there. “I think it was Andy Warhol who said that in the future, everyone will have 15 minutes of fame – that’s exactly what this has been.” Knill, who has since taken down Sara Hartly’s Facebook account, is working on a t-shirt design to commemorate the hoax. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Executive director David Sheach concluded by commenting that, “Mentoring provided by volunteer Big Brothers and Big Sisters has proven to be instrumental in reducing bullying and other related negative behaviours such as a lack of interest in school, truancy, low self esteem and drug and alcohol abuse. We are working hard to address the social and friendship needs of children and Bowl for Kids Sake is a broad way for local citizens to support the family needs within their communities.” Opening night raised $4,500 in pledges for Big Brothers Sisters, setting the stage for what promises to be a successful fundraising event.

Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Fraser Valley and presenting sponsor Prospera Credit Union officially opened Bowl for Kids Sake 2012 at Chillibowl Lanes in Chilliwack on Feb. 22. Local dignitaries, members of Big Brothers Big Sisters board of directors, and management and staff from Prospera Credit Union were in attendance to be part of the official opening. David Sheach, Big Brothers Big Sisters executive director, provided opening comments of welcome to a full house of local supporters representing Prospera Credit Union as well as staff from KPMG, MNP, Envision, Hub Insurance and the City of Chilliwack. Said Big Brothers Big Sisters vice-chair, Daniel Sorensen: “Your support to Big Brothers Big Sisters mentoring programs provides mentors for children and we know that mentorship increases a child’s sense of value and belonging which has ripple effects into the family, school and broader community. Kids who have a mentor tend to be more successful and have a positive sense of their value and role in community.” MP Mark Strahl and Chilliwack Acting Mayor Sue Attrill provided greetings on behalf of both the federal government and the city, providing observations about the merits of volunteerism as they benefit communities and families. Louise Logan, branch manager of the Chilliwack Prospera branch spoke about the shared values and partnership between Prospera Credit Union and Big Brothers Big Sisters. “Prospera Credit Union embraces the great work that Big Brothers Big Sisters does for youth in our communities – their ongoing commitment resonates with Prospera’s mission to make a meaningful difference in the wellbeing of our members and our communities.” Five teams representing Prospera Credit Union par ticipated

Chilliwack (FMC) and Chilliwack Society for Community Living (CSCL) are launching the community garden on Earth Day, April 21. But first they have to decide on an official name for the grass roots garden. Organizers are busy continuing to register garden plot holders for the 2012 gardening season, and preparing the soil for planting this spring. “Join us in growing and sharing fresh, local food in Chilliwack,” reads the event release. “By joining the Community Gardening team you will become part of an exciting initiative growing and shar-

ing fresh local produce, creating community around healthy eating and learning to grow food sustainably.” At the Earth Day celebration the idea is to unveil the new name for the community garden, but they need some ideas and suggestions in the interim by the deadline of Feb. 29. Check out more information at http:// ear thdaychilliwack. wordpress.com/ For volunteering, learning more about the community garden project or offering a name suggestion email foodmatterschilliwack. gardens@gmail.com. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Black Press A spreading outbreak of whooping cough has prompted Fraser Health to extend its vaccination campaign across the region. More than 150 people are believed to have contracted pertussis, a highly contagious bacterial infection that causes adults to cough for months but can be deadly to babies. Medical health officer Dr. Elizabeth Brodkin said efforts to combat the illness had focused on Chilliwack and Hope – where the outbreak began – but said the vaccine is now being made available to doctors and pharmacists across the region. “More and more we are seeing cases outside of Fraser East,” she said. Whooping cough cases are appearing in Burnaby, New Westminster, Langley and Maple Ridge, Brodkin said. “We didn’t want to wait until we were seeing huge numbers of cases and a very aggressive spread,” she added. “We saw enough cases we became con-

cerned and decided it was time to act.” Adults and youth in contact with young children who have not had the pertussis vaccine in the last five years are urged to get vaccinated. The goal is to immunize adults – for whom pertussis is more of an irritant – so they don’t act as carriers infecting infants, who are most at risk and are hospitalized in more than half of cases. Three children have already been hospitalized due to the outbreak, including one two-weekold baby that ended up in intensive care for five weeks. All three have recovered. “It’s a nasty infection and even deadly in young infants,” Brodkin said. Three-quarters of infants infected get it from parents or

close family members. California had a huge outbreak in 2009 that claimed the lives of 10 children, five more died in Saskatchewan in 2010 and two more children died last year just across the border in Washington State, where authorities are still battling an outbreak. The vaccine lasts only about five years so many people who got it in the past are no longer protected. Early symptoms of pertussis are similar to a cold, but often worsening to severe coughing that sounds like a whoop or crowing sound as the patient breathes in. Symptoms develop seven to 14 days after infection. For more information and a list of pharmacies that perform immunizations, see www.fraserhealth.ca/whoopingcough.

Twinning of oil pipeline clears key hurdle Jeff Nagel Black Press The pipeline that already carries crude oil from Alberta through the Lower Mainland to waiting oil tankers off Burnaby is a step closer to doubling its capacity. Kinder Morgan said the $3.8 billion expansion of its Trans Mountain pipeline – from a capacity of 300,000 barrels per day now to 600,000 – appears justified after it got strong support from shipping customers in a test of the market. “What we heard back is very encouraging,” spokesperson Lexa Hobenshield said. Initial project design and planning work is now being finished and Kinder Morgan will decide by the end of March whether to seek approval to twin the line. Because the Trans Mountain route has an existing right-ofway, Kinder Morgan’s project holds a major advantage over rival Enbridge, which has hit fierce opposition in northern B.C. to its

bid to construct the Northern Gateway pipeline to carry 550,000 barrels per day of oil sands crude to Kitimat. A doubled Trans Mountain pipeline would likely see many more oil tankers passing through Burrard Inlet to carry oil to destinations in Asia or the U.S. Up to 70 tankers a year (32 in 2011) already load up there. Hobenshield said the project could include the addition of a second berth at the Westridge terminal in Burnaby as well as additional petroleum product storage in Burnaby. Port Metro Vancouver has also weighed options to dredge the Second Narrows to allow tankers to pass through the inlet with heavier loads than now allowed. But the project would still have to undergo two years of environmental assessments, socio-economic studies and full public and First Nations consultations, Hobenshield said. After that – if Kinder Morgan then formally submits the project

– it would still require National Energy Board approval. For nearly two years, Hobenshield said the existing pipeline has been oversubscribed, leading to a system of rationing customer access. Although Kinder Morgan has an existing corridor, Hobenshield said a second pipeline may not be able to follow the exact same route because of urban encroachment in parts of the Lower Mainland, including Surrey. “There are areas where it may be tight to fit another pipe in the existing right-of-way,” she said. She said it’s far too soon to say if that means the project could require Kinder Morgan to buy out homes or other properties in some areas. Besides carrying oil to tankers, the pipeline supplies Chevron’s refinery in Burnaby as well as others in Washington State via a branch that crosses the border at Sumas. Further upstream, Trans Mountain goes

through Kamloops and up the Thompson River valley. The federal Conservative government wants a bigger outlet to the Pacific to increase exports of Alberta oil to Asia and reduce reliance on the U.S. market after the Obama administration blocked the speedy approval of TransCanada Corp.’s proposed Keystone XL pipeline to Texas. Environmental groups and some First Nations have already said they will oppose the Kinder Morgan twinning, saying increased oil exports through Port Metro Vancouver pose unacceptable risks. Oil has spilled from Kinder Morgan’s system in the past. More than 1,500 barrels spilled in Burnaby in 2007 after a construction crew ruptured the pipeline. And nearly 700 barrels spilled into a containment system Jan. 24 at the Sumas Terminal, prompting complaints from Abbotsford residents who said the fumes made them sick.

Cascades sweep Dinos on road to final four

Dan Kinvig, Black Press Tessa Klassen made sure her last game at the Envision Athletic Centre would be a memorable one. The University of the Fraser Valley’s fifthyear point guard rained down three-pointers on the Calgary Dinos on Friday, helping the Cascades women’s basketball team sweep their best-of-three first round playoff series. Klassen went 7-for-11 from beyond the arc, accounting for all of her game-high 21 points. Four of her threebombs came during the decisive third quarter, when the Cascades drained any suspense from the proceedings by expanding a six-point halftime lead as high as 24 points. “I haven’t really had one of those games before, where everything I chuck up there is dropping, essentially,”

Klassen marveled afterward. “They (the Dinos) had some miscommunications, and I was open at the three quite a bit. And I was feeling it, so I kept shooting it.” In both of the Cascades’ victories over the Dinos – they also won 63-43 on Thursday – the visitors built a lead in the first quarter. But on both occasions, the UFV women maintained their poise. And once they got their bearings defensively, they dominated. The Cascades got big games from their dynamic sibling duo of Sarah and Nicole Wierks, who scored 15 and 13 points, respectively while hauling down five rebounds apiece. And Aieisha Luyken counted four three-pointers among her 13 points. But it was Klassen’s night. In addition to her scorching shooting from downtown, the 5’8” senior had a teamhigh six rebounds and five assists, and even blocked a shot during the decisive third-quarter run. “Tessa was unbelievable,” Cascades coach Al Tuchscherer enthused. “She wasn’t going to let her last game here go down in a bad way, right? In that

third quarter, she put us on her back, and she wasn’t going to miss. She’s an elite player in our league, and she showed that tonight.” Never mind her own eye-popping shooting numbers – Klassen was most excited about a more obscure stat. She explained that a team manager keeps track of “positive interactions” between UFV teammates, and the Cascades had a record high on Friday. “High fives, smacks on the butt, smiles, everything,” Klassen said with a chuckle, breaking down the system. “It’s pretty sweet. “It always pays off – you can tell when we’re going to have a good game by our body language and how positive we are with each other. We were able to come together and stay positive for a full 40 minutes, essentially.” The Dinos saw four players score in double figures – Jessica Franz (15 points), Megan Lang (13), Tamara Jarrett (13) and Jenna Kaye (11) – but they shot just 32.1 per cent from the field, which paled in comparison to UFV’s red-hot 49.1 per cent success rate. The Cascades advance to the Canada

West Final Four, which will likely be held at the University of Regina. It’s the second straight Final Four appearance for Tuchscherer’s charges. “I think there’s only six teams that have even been to the final four in the past seven years, and now we’ve gone back to back,” Tuchscherer said. “I think that’s huge for our program. I’m really proud of the girls.” ● Joel Friesen’s buzzerbeating three pointer helped the UFV basketball men to a 69-68 win over Lethbridge on Saturday. The men now join the UFV women in Saskatchewan for the CIS final four. The Cascades beat Lethbridge in three games in the best-ofthree series. The Pronghorns went ahead by two with 13 seconds left, but Coquitlam’s Sam Freeman set up Abbotsford’s Friesen for the miracle three pointer. “We wanted the ball in Joel’s hands, but there is no way I can even pretend we drew that up,” said UFV coach Barnaby Craddock. “It was an unbelievable clutch moment.”

Light week productive for Chilliwack Chiefs Eric J. Welsh, The Progress A quirk in the BCHL schedule has proven highly beneficial for Chilliwack’s junior A Chiefs. The local squad has played just once over the last eight days, dispatching the Salmon Arm Silverbacks 4-1 last Wednesday. In the interim, the team has packed in lots of practice time and rested some banged up players. “I don’t know how it will affect us because

I can’t remember ever having a situation like this in a stretch run,” said Chiefs bench boss Harvey Smyl Monday morning. “But the one thing I do see is we have lots of bumps and bruises right now. Hopefully we can heal up and get ready for the last seven games.” Smyl kept the practice schedule light over the week. The team mixed on-ice sessions with dryland training and public relations appearances. As they prepare for a Tuesday night tilt

against those same Salmon Armians, the Chiefs remain in fourth place in the Interior conference standings. And while they’ve been resting, the fifth place Vernon Vipers have been playing, and losing. The Snakes dropped a 6-4 road decision to the Cowichan Valley Capitals on Friday, then found themselves on the wrong end of a 4-2 decision versus the Powell River Kings on Saturday. Vernon now sits three back of Chilliwack for

the last playoff spot in the Interior conference, and the Chiefs have two games in hand. “Yeah, it certainly helps,” Smyl said when asked about Vernon’s struggles. “But we still need to win games in order to get in there (playoffs). As mentioned, the Silverbacks are in town tonight for a 7 p.m. puck drop at Prospera Centre. It is the seventh meeting of the season between the two teams in a season series that has been thor-

oughly dominated by Chilliwack. The Chiefs have taken all six previous meetings. “They do have some players who are extremely talented, three kids in particular that I think are very impressive,” Smyl noted. “There were a couple of games in their building where I think we were a little fortunate, and hard work and effort was everything.” The latest win was powered by Chilliwack native Josh Hansen, who scored twice to

lead the attack. “That was one of the games where hard work was the winning factor for us, and both of his goals were from hard work,” Smyl said. “That’s what you need at this time of year, and to get that kind of contribution from a defensive line, that’s a nice bonus.” Derek Huisman and David Bondra also scored for the Chiefs, who are benefitting from a resurgent first line. “I think that any team, to be successful, needs a

number one line to win them games,” Smyl said. “Certainly, those guys are coming through for us right now.” Starting goaltender Mitch Gillam stopped 33 of 34 shots, winning a duel against Silverbacks keeper Kurt Williams (30 saves on 34 shots). ● Chilliwack native Brad King suited up in last week’s win over Westside, picking up his first BCHL point. King drew the second assist on Chilliwack’s fourth goal, scored by Hansen.

G.W. Grahamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s senior boys basketball team fell 76-62 to Mission Friday night in the Fraser Valley championship game. The game was played at Archbishop Carney secondary school in Port Coquitlam. The Grizzlies were a banged up bunch. Josiah Cockrill missed the game with a wrist injury. Lucas Mannes and Austin Neetz played at less than 100 per cent on wonky ankles, and

an answer for everything. The Grizzlies had to start fouling in the final minutes, and the Roadrunners knocked down their free-throws to put the game away. Mannes and Armengual took consolation in being named to the Fraser Valley tournament first all-star team. The Grizzlies now prepare for provincials, opening March 7 in Kamloops versus Charles Hayes secondary school. It is the third straight trip to provincials for the Grizzlies, and GWG is looking for community support to off-set the estimated $7,000 cost. Contact GWG athletic director Jake Mouritzen

Flames fall The Unity Christian Flames fell 13 points shy of a Fraser Valley title Saturday night, falling 59-46 to their arch-rivals from Langley Christian. Playing their fourth head to head matchup of the season (UC came in with one win and two losses), neither team had any surprises. UC opened an early lead with a 14-7 run, but Langley battled back to lead 37-30 at the half. Both defenses tighened up in the second half. The Flames closed to within three points a couple times, but Langley Christian was always able to hit a big shot to pull away. The game was played in front of 300 fans at Trinity Western University, the site of the upcoming single A provincials. UC will be hosting the tournament and making their third straight trip to provincials.

It was there he discovered his passion for stage lighting. After studying lighting design in Toronto, he returned to Vancouver where he met up with his childhood friend, Lucille Jardine. She captured his heart and they were married on Oct. 23, 1959. Through his father-in-law, Alfie found work in the vending machine industry. The job became a career and he eventually became the sales manager for a large company. After leaving the corporate world, Alfie became an entrepreneur and was self-employed for many years. He was at heart an innovator and an inventor. He was innately curious and always wanted to know how things worked. Alfie loved “tinkering” and there was nothing he couldn’t create or build. He was the person you called if you needed something fixed and he always showed up, toolbox in hand. Alfie was also incredibly generous. He invested his time and his interest in the people around him. Actively involved in his church, he also sat on his apartment’s strata council. He was never more than a phone call away to anyone who needed his help. Alfie was an amazing husband, father, friend and mentor. He was predeceased by his

At 17 Ray joined the Navy and spent his war years in Northern Ireland servicing and maintaining planes for the Navy. After the war Ray married Elsie Perusini and they made their home in Edmonton. They had four children, Gregg, Marcel, Estelle and Rod. Ray worked for the Edmonton transit company for many years. He then branched out into his own delivery business for 15 years. Later, Ray became involved in sales. He was an enthusiastic member of Edmonton Toastmasters for a number of years. Ray met Margaret Biehn in Edmonton and they married October 1977. Ray and Margaret moved to Sardis in 1987 living first on Fern Street and then on Airport Rd. They became very involved with the Sardis Community Church and dedicated their later years to many causes such as Pacific Riding Doorway, M2W2, MCC. Ray was also an integral part of the JOY group meeting once a week. Ray is predeceased by his wife Margaret and son Marcel. He is lovingly remembered by his daughter, Estelle; sons, Gregg and Rod; daughters-inlaw: Flora and Elaine; grandchildren: Michelle, Matthew, John, Danielle, Eric, Jocelyn and Taylor; great granddaughter, Olivia. He will be sadly missed by his sister Simone and brother-in-law, Harold Knutson; niece Diane and his sister-in-law, Elva Biehn; and many cousins and the friends he made in his lifetime. The family would like to express their heartful thanks to everyone for their support and condolences at this time. Also it is with gratitude that we thank the staff at Valley Haven for their devoted compassionate care of Ray especially in his last weeks. A celebration of life was held February 20, 2012 at the Sardis Community Church. In lieu of flowers donations to MCC would be appreciated.

It’s not the end of the trail for me, I’m just headin’ out to the light I see. Beyond those mountains there’s a soft glow; It’s gettin’ brighter the closer I go. It’s like the beginning of a new day, And the trail I’m followin’ leads the way. I feel sure there’s friends and family ahead, And they’ve set up camp on a brand new spread. Yes, I can hear the voices callin’ my name, sayin’, “Welcome Reg, sure glad you came, This new range is special, you’ll like it here, There’s grass for your horses, the streams are clear, The cattle are gentle and never stampede, And in every direction there’s plenty of feed. If you’re thinkin’ it sounds too good to be true, it’s not—’cause the Boss made a promise to you. If you’d ride for his brand, be honest and square, He’d relive all your pain, and remove every care. He was mighty pleased with your life on earth, That you did your best, and proved your worth. So step off your horse, and tied on up, Your friends are all waiting to pour you a cup. We’ll talk about old days, as time allows, ‘cause startin’ tomorrow you’ll be workin’ cows!”

BATTY Alice Joy

The Chilliwack Progress Tuesday, February 28, 2012

and children made a success of dairy farming and growing green market table corn. In 1967 the Whorly corn was shipped to Expo â&#x20AC;&#x2122;67 in Montreal! In the 1961 Agassiz fall fair and corn festival, Wade was crowned Corn King. Wade also drove school bus for 26 years for the District of Kent in Agassiz. He was well remembered and recognized all thru the years by many of the school children who rode his bus as well as their children. Wade had many interests besides farming which included being a â&#x20AC;&#x153;jack of all tradesâ&#x20AC;? discussing politics, world events, studying free space, and especially his 43 years of studying the Bible and how Bible prophecies related to present-day world events and what they revealed about the future. He had an incredible mind that was still contemplating all his favourite interests up until shortly before his death. He was anticipating the birth of his coming great-grandson Nash, who was due February 21 (one day after Wadeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 98th birthday). Nash was born Feb. 18, 2012. Wade loved his family very much and appreciated all they did to help him these past years while his physical health de-

clined. Wade also appreciated very much the close relationships he and Alisen developed with the treasured friends and neighbours who made up the wonderful community of Agassiz that he cared for so much these past 70 years. The Whorly family would like to express our heartfelt appreciation for all the caring efforts from both Logan Manor and Glenwood Care Centre this past year. Also, we would like to thank Brad at Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Home in Chilliwack, and all their attentive staff for their caring attention they gave us all in connection with the lovely service which was held on February 9, 2012 in their Chapel. Wade was laid to rest at Valleyview Cemetery, Agassiz. We wish to thank all for the kind words of support during this most difďŹ cult time. Your concern and affection has been much appreciated by all the Whorly Family. 45901 Victoria Avenue, Chilliwack, British Columbia (604) 792.1344
