Trustees opt for ‘Christmas’ holidays Katie Bartel The Progress

Greenhouses feel winter’s bite Robert Freeman

Christmas symbolism. Wind is not good for greenhouses. They’re designed to be flexible, but their large surface areas make them prey to wintry gales. Monday night, Stan was battling both the cold and the wind that gusted up to 90 km/h and sucked the heat out of his greenhouses, tugging at their plastic roofs, and threatening millions of poinsettias inside ready for the Christmas market. It also kept the people who buy poinsettias huddled at home. “If they’re not buying at the stores, we’re not shipping,” to retailers like Costco, Home Depot and Walmart, Stan explained.

The Progress Ah, snow. Bad news for drivers, good news for Stan Vander Waal, president of Rainbow Greenhouses in Sardis. A good snowfall - a nice, gentle one - will remind customers that the Christmas season is upon us, and it’s time to buy a poinsettia or two. “The strongest weeks are ahead of us now,” Stan said during a greenhouse tour Wednesday. “If we get nice weather, people will be buying.” Cold, you see, is not good for the poinsettia, which is actually a tropical plant, despite its

But even though the wind and cold was the worst seen around Chilliwack for years, “it was at the very beginning of the shipping season for poinsettias,” Stan said. “The good part is we haven’t missed the key selling weeks.” The 130 employees at Rainbow Greenhouses - one of the largest in the Chilliwack area at half a million square feet with another 300,000 square feet in Rosedale - were busy preparing a wide variety of poinsettias for shipping Wednesday. Keeping temperatures hovering around a tropical 20-degrees Celsius inside the greenhouse while temperatures outside plunged to

minus-8 was not easy or inexpensive. Vander Waal estimated that his heating bill during the cold snap jumped to about $35,000 a day. City Coun. Chuck Stam, head of the city’s rural issues advisory committee, said most Chilliwack farms are “outfitted well” for cold weather and were largely unaffected by the recent cold. “The sector that gets hit hardest is the horticulture sector, as their heating bills go from the moderately affordable level to just crazy,” he said. “Imagine if your house was built out of windows.” Continued: WINTER/ p14 11-10F M26

“Winter” vacation has been suspended in the Chilliwack school district. For now. Chilliwack board of education trustees voted unanimously Tuesday to change the ‘winter vacation’ wording in all school documents and school calendars to ‘Christmas holidays’. (Trustee John Henry Harter was absent from the meeting due to a prior work engagement.) Trustees were informed by acting secretary treasurer Maureen Carradice, before the vote, that the ‘winter vacation’ wording was legislated in the manual of school law. But that didn’t deter the board. “Let’s do it now and beg forgiveness later if we need to,” said board chair Silvia Dyck. Trustee Heather Maahs who introduced the last-minute motion at the Tuesday meeting felt it was time to stop hiding behind political correctness. “It’s not winter we celebrate, it’s Christmas,” she said after the meeting. “I think we’re losing a lot as a society by adhering too much to political correctness. I don’t think people who don’t celebrate Christmas would have a problem with it being called Christmas. I don’t think they would be offended.” Maahs admitted, however, that she hadn’t spoken to anyone outside of the Christian faith regarding the motion. Trustee Doug McKay questioned whether there were legal issues involved with calling it Christmas holidays, but still supported the motion because he “personally prefers to call it Christmas.” And Dyck didn’t see a problem with changing the wording as schools in the district host Christmas concerts and other such Christmas celebrations. When the motion was approved, Dyck signed off on it with a “Merry Christmas.”

Girl target of possible abduction attempt: RCMP Robert Freeman The Progress More surveillance cameras and security staff may be added to security measures at the Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre after a 13-year-old girl was the target of a possible abduction attempt Monday. Centre manager Dave Burns said surveillance cameras are already trained on some outside areas of the recreation centre, and

security staff do regular “walkarounds” of the facility. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said the centre, operated by a private company contracted by the city, is responsible for its own security. But she added that staff at all city facilities “always take care to look out for kids.” Police said the girl was waiting outside the Corbould Street recreation centre for a ride home at about 5:15 p.m. Monday when the suspect male approached her and

offered her a ride. “The young female did the right thing,” RCMP Cpl. Lea-Anne Dunlop said. She said the girl refused the offer and started walking back toward the centre. But the male followed her and allegedly tried to grab her. However, the girl managed to break away and get back inside the centre where she waited for her mother to arrive. Chilliwack RCMP would like to

speak to anyone who witnessed the incident, or has information about the suspect, described as a white male in his late 30s, with a slim build and wearing blackrimmed glasses. He is also described as having pimples on his face, and a blue and green tattoo of a snake on the back of his left hand. Mayor Gaetz praised the young girl for her “street smarts ... probably taught to her by her parents” and for her cool-headed attention

Snowy roads claim young woman A 19-year-old woman died in a single-vehicle rollover early Thursday morning on a snowy Highway 1 east of Chilliwack. “Weather and lack of snow tires appear to be contributing factors,” RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen said in a news release. The unidentified woman

was the lone occupant in a late ‘90s Honda Civic. Police investigators said the woman was heading east on Highway 1 at about 8:30 a.m. when she lost control of the vehicle and went off the highway about one kilometre east of Annis Road. The vehicle reportedly went

down an embankment and rolled over, striking a large sign and coming to rest in a ditch. One eastbound lane remains open as an investigation by Upper Fraser Valley RCMP Traffic Service officials continues. Police are reminding driv-

ers that vehicles should have at least two snow tires in the winter months, but four is better. Anyone who witnessed the Thursday morning crash and has not yet spoken to police is asked to call the Upper Fraser Valley Traffic Services.

to detail in describing the suspect. “We’re very thankful she’s safe, and she was able to get the help she needed,” the mayor said. “It’s sad when these kinds of things happen in our city.” Anyone with information can call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604792-4611. Anonymous calls can be made to Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS, or online at www.chilliwackcrimestoppers.ca rfreeman@theprogress.com

‘Fresh start’ for Hemlock Ski Resort: developer Cost estimated at $2.5 billion Robert Freeman The Progress

RCMP were on scene at the base of Chilliwack Mountain on the south side where there was a report of a body found around noon on Thursday. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Body found near Chilliwack Mountain A body was found in Chilliwack by a woman walking her dog near Progress Way just before noon Thursday. Chilliwack RCMP are investigating. According to an initial report, the body was found with the head separated from the torso. But RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said

the investigation has so far confirmed few details, including the gender of the remains or the cause of death. “We don’t know if it was foul play, suicide or natural causes,” she said. The gruesome discovery was made on a trail leading from Progress Way to a nearby mountainside, not close to railroad

tracks which might have suggested an accidental cause of death. The remains could also have been disturbed by animals. It’s not known how long the remains have been in the remote location, but RCMP forensic investigators were on the scene.

A Langley-based developer wants to give a “fresh start” to the once-bankrupt Hemlock Valley Ski Resort by expanding it into a yearround recreation facility. “What’s unique about our project is we’re trying to include Harrison Lake in our whole program,” developer Ralph Berezan said Monday. “That would be kind of neat, to go from water skiing in a wet suit to snow skiing on the mountain,” he said. The project masterplan envisions an all-season facility linking the mountain to expanded resort residential areas and to summer recreational activities on Harrison Lake. A hotel named Chateau Hemlock, residential condos, restaurants, pubs, marina, retail shops and at least one nine-hole golf course are also envisioned in the masterplan. But first the project must obtain necessary approvals from local, regional and provincial governments, and from the Chehalis First Nation. After that comes the task of raising development costs, estimated at more than $514 million -and that’s just for the first phase of the five-stage project. Total estimated development costs reach nearly $2.5 billion. Berezan is undaunted. “I think it would certainly keep the tourist industry alive in that particular area, if we do get our approvals,” he said. “We’re very fortunate to have two airports near our hill, and I think with the growth projected for the Fraser Valley, we’re going to have access to a lot of people.” The masterplan notes the existing ski resort had “stalled and languished” due to circumstances that Berezan said included aging facilities and difficult access. “It needed some new chairlifts; it needs some of these things we hope to do,” he said.

Board overrules input on Rosedale school name Move sparks concern board may not value public input, trustee says Katie Bartel The Progress The Chilliwack board of education went against the suggestions of the community when it named the new Rosedale K-9 school at Tuesday night’s board meeting. An act trustee Doug McKay said is concerning. The name Rosedale traditional community school was approved, with trustees Silvia Dyck, Heather Maahs, and Martha Wiens voting in favour, trustees Doug McKay and Darlene Wahlstrom voting against, and trustee Louise Piper abstaining from the vote. Trustee John Henry Harter was absent from the meeting. A task force that was commissioned by the school district and that represented parents, teachers, administrators, management, CUPE, the aboriginal community, the Rosedale community, and the city recommended the school be named Rosedale community school. Six of the seven people on the task force thought Rosedale

community school was better than Rosedale traditional community school. And while the name difference may seem like splitting hairs, it was the lack of respect for the process and lack of respect for the community that got McKay’s back up. “What I take issue with is the fact that we have policy and regulations in place that direct how we do things,” said McKay. “And we did that. We went to the community, we involved the community, and the board basically slapped the committee’s hands and said no thank you.” The task force received 41 submissions from the community, 23 of which requested the Rosedale name remain. Only one other suggestion received two submissions. All others were solitary. The task force wanted ‘community’ in the name as the new school will be a neighbourhood of learning centre and a hub for the community. But it felt ‘traditional’ was not necessary in the name and believed it should be the school community to decide

after a year or so of working together whether it wanted to continue down the traditional road. Currently Rosedale elementary is not a traditional school, while Rosedale middle is. Wiens, Maahs and Dyck all felt that by omitting ‘traditional’ from the name, the school would suffer. “If we don’t have traditional there, we may lose that,” said Wiens. Piper thought the two names should be sent back to the community for input, but didn’t put forth a motion to do so, which is why she abstained from the vote, she said. McKay is concerned that by not taking into account the recommendation and work of the committee, the community will start viewing these committees as pointless. “The committee and the community could start seeing us as not valuing what they say,” he said. “And that to me is a big worry.” kbartel@theprogress.com

Early morning apartment fire A second apartment fire in Chilliwack forced the evacuation of tenants early Thursday morning. There were no reported injuries. The cause of the 5:30 a.m. fire in the two-storey apartment complex in the 9000-block Nowell Street is unknown. RCMP and fire officials are investigating. The blaze extended from between the wall of two buildings into a first-

floor suite, forcing evacuation of all the tenants from the building. Fire damage was limited to a bedroom wall as firefighters quickly knocked down the blaze. Two adults and three children from the fire-stricken suite were provided temporary accommodation by Emergency Social Services. The remaining tenants were able to return to their apartments.

‘Popped fuse’ leaves 3,000 without power Robert Freeman The Progress An electrical transformer that “popped” a fuse Wednesday afternoon and set a utility pole on fire at Gore Avenue in downtown Chilliwack caused a “brief power outage” for about 3,000 customers, a BC Hydro spokesperson said. There were no reported injuries. Simi Heer, at BC Hydro media relations, said a fuse “popped” in the transformer after some “arcing” of the electrical wires, but the

cause was not immediately known. YMCA general manager Sheri Josephson said one of the parents attending an event at the Y’s child care facility in the area reported hearing a “boom” and another parent reported her car vibrating. However, the child care was not evacuated as reported earlier. “Our staff went outside because the lights went out, and BC Hydro was already on site. They said there was some danger, but the event was ending anyway,” she said.

The boom was followed by a bright orange flash and then a tall column of black smoke rose into the air at the time of the 1 p.m. incident. Flames continued to lick the utility pole as firefighters arrived. Heer said electrical power was restored quickly to most customers, but about six were still without electricity at about 4 p.m. However, she said repair crews expected to have power restored soon to the remaining customers. rfreeman@theprogress.com

The Progress Chilliwack nurse and mom Amy Niiranen is sounding the alarm about the plight of her son, Donovan, as he waits for spinal surgery at BC Children’s Hospital. “Our lives are on hold, and I’m afraid we’re just a number to them,” Niiranen tells The Progress. Officials confirmed Wednesday that her teenage son is 30th in line for surgery on a two-page list, which means at least another year’s wait for the operation at BC Children’s. It especially hard to take that, Donovan, 17, is supposed to be graduating from Chilliwack senior secondary this year. “This should be the happiest, most exciting time of his life, but he can’t make any plans because we are waiting,” she says. “We’re being held hostage by the waitlist.” It’s an increasingly agonizing situation. Donovan’s condition, which is scoliosis, or curvature of the spine, related to Marfan’s Syndrome, features a “double major” curve. It all started when he began getting headaches a couple of summers ago. Soon after he was diagnosed, and now every time he sees a specialist, things are a little worse. Part of the frustration is that they’ve already been waiting for a year and a half. Niiranen is a registered nurse, who lives and works in Chilliwack, and she’s struggling to raise her kids as a single mom. “I work for the very health system that’s failing my son. How can I just sit by and do nothing?” Niiranen says. She’s appealed directly to the provincial health minister, the hospital, her MLA, and her union. She even set up a Facebook page called ‘Help Donovan Get Surgery at BC Children’s Hospital.’ She feels the delay is unfair especially since she’s heard that patients from other provinces

receive surgery with no wait times, based on prioritized surgeries. “The surgeon tells me he gets one day a week of OR time, that means one child per week gets their surgery,” she says. “He’s more than willing to do more surgery.” It will take a 10-hour surgery to correct the spinal condition, but also the time it will take for Donovan to recuperate in hospital is a concern, and later several weeks at home before he can go back to school. Then there’s the physiotherapy after that. “I am so frustrated with waiting,” says his mom. “My son is in pain. Some days he doesn’t feel like eating, and I fear he is depressed waiting to get his surgery so he can start his life.” So what exactly has been put on hold? “Everything,” Donovan says, ticking off his plans to go university next year, as well as activities like snowboarding, skateboarding, and mountain biking. “I went snowboarding once last year and I paid for it. I couldn’t even walk the next day,” he remembers. The worst part is not being able to just get on with his life, or even work part-time at Vantage

Foods like he used to, because of the time spent on his feet. Hospital spokesperson Tracy Tang, public affairs rep for Provincial Health Services Authority, says she can’t speak to the specific case in question because of patient privacy rules, but she’s willing to walk The Progress through the context for this type of surgery at BC Children’s Hospital. Surgeons balance the demand for surgery on waitlists using their medical expertise to prioritize cases, Tang says. Criteria can include changes in the patient’s condition, or how acute or severe it is. “Pediatric hospitals are in a similar situation across North America in terms of recruiting in very specialized areas of surgery,” she says. Hospital officials are doing what they can to increase the OR time provided to surgeons, and are looking ways to increase capacity. “It’s not a situation that’s happening in a vacuum. It’s a sub speciality that’s in high demand. “But at the same time we do realize it must be a very frustrating thing to hear for the patients and their families who are waiting.”

The local teen’s spine has a double curve, and he just found out he has to wait another year for surgery. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

News

Name change a backward move, says DPAC president NAME from Front Chilliwack MLA John Les supported the board’s decision. “Had I been on school board, I too would have voted in favour of retaining the name because that’s what they are, the Christmas holidays,” he said. “December 25 is Christmas day and the extended period of holidays around that has always been known as the Christmas holidays. It really is an extension of Christmas day. “People have every right not to celebrate Christmas, we live in a free society and people can celebrate whatever they want. But Christmas is a long standing

Judeo-Christian tradition. No one coming to this country should be surprised of that,” Les said. “It’s just like the Easter long weekend and that too is a Christian celebration.” Mayor Sharon Gaetz also supported the school board’s decision. “It took courage to bring this forward,” she said. “School districts have an obligation to teach respect for all people and all their religions and traditions, and this is one step towards respecting people who practice the Christian faith. So good on them.” However, trustee John Henry Harter, who wasn’t at the meeting, and who wasn’t notified of the

motion being introduced, said it wasn’t respectful at all. “We are a public school system and we represent students of all faiths from Atheism to Muslim,” he said. “And to purposely change wording that has been legislated to be neutral to wording that is deliberately Christian, it’s exclusionary. It suggests that we only teach and care about Christian students.” Changing the wording isn’t necessarily a legal issue, but rather one of respect, said Rob Holmes, president of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association. “As long as the school board is not seeking to impose one religious view over others, but is merely using this [Christmas]

term as a secular reference for that particular point of time, it’s not a problem,” said Holmes. “But it still does raise questions. Why are they making this change now? And by making this change, will they still be showing neutrality and respect to other religious groups?” Kirsten Brandreth, president of the District Parents’ Advisory Council, who was at the meeting and shaking her head in disbelief at the motion, doesn’t believe so. “I feel we are going backwards versus forwards,” she told trustees. “I think that we have to be very sensitive that within our community there are many other beliefs that are celebrated, be it

Hanukkah, Ramadan, Kwanzaa and Jehovah’s Witnesses. “I feel this has been a very insensitive decision. You have to be respectful of the diversity in our community,” said Brandreth. Harter doesn’t believe the board followed proper procedure in approving the motion. According to the ministry of education’s school calendar regulation, any amendment to the school calendar can only be voted on in a public meeting after parents and employees of the district have been given at least one month’s notice of the impending change. Harter is looking into rescinding the motion.

So what’s in a name? At a time when local school boards across BC are struggling to maintain relevancy, the Chilliwack School Board seems set on undermining its own credibility. In a unanimous vote Tuesday, trustees decided to rename the upcoming winter break, reverting instead to “Christmas holidays.” To many, that may seem an innocuous move; most of us call it that anyway. But the point of a “public” school system is that it be accommodating to all students, not just students from one particular faith. The BC Ministry of Education knows this. That’s why the name of the two-week break, under the ministry’s direction, is meant to remain neutral. Whether or not the local board has the authority to break with that directive is doubtful. But even if it does, trustees may want to consider a couple of things – its own code of ethics, for example. Number 13 states that trustees will “represent the entire district, rather than individual electors, patrons or groups.” Or, maybe they could take a look at number nine: “consider myself a

The Chilliwack

trustee of public education and will do my best to protect it, conserve it and advance it....” “Public” is the key word here. And it’s not just semantics. Public education is intended to be inclusive. This isn’t just some politically correct nicety, it’s a reflection of the multitude of cultures, ethnicities and religious backgrounds of the people who pay for its support. This board, however, has made a very deliberate and public statement that the inclusive neutrality reflected in BC education policy should not apply in Chilliwack. That position will no doubt garner some support. But a true advocate of public education should know better. They should know that pandering to the majority is easy. The real challenge is crafting policies that unite, rather than divide a community; that make all citizens feel welcome as participants, not guests. Chilliwack trustees may feel they’ve scored a point against political correctness. What they’ve done is erode the very institution and ideal they were elected to serve.

Bill Bennett’s crash and burn from politics VICTORIA – Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett became the political equivalent of a suicide bomber last week, detonating his career in a manner calculated to do maximum damage to the B.C. Liberal Party. He did plenty, with the help of an uncritical city media that fawned over him as they did earlier with Blair Lekstrom, the last rebel without a clue to become the ex-energy minister. Lekstrom at least showed some respect for parliamentary tradition as he rode his Harley back to Dawson Creek this spring, unable to face the onset of the HST that he had helped vote into place only weeks before. When he could no longer support the government, he quietly left cabinet and caucus, saying nice things about good intentions. Bennett figured he could stay in cabinet while forcing Premier

Gordon Campbell out early. When that didn’t work, he lashed out with high drama and unsubstantiated claims. His most specific claim was that Campbell bullied three women into quitting politics: Carole Taylor, Olga Ilich and Christy Clark. Clark denied it. Neither Taylor nor Ilich dignified Tom Bennett’s rant with FLETCHER a response, but a couple of things are obvious. Campbell recruited both, despite their reluctance to leave successful business careers. Both were visibly appalled at what goes on in elections and the B.C. legislature, and stoically finished their terms before getting out. Bennett predicted that “more

and more” MLAs would come forward with tales of Campbell’s atrocities. The sound you are hearing is crickets. No one, past or present, has backed him up. Bennett’s other mewlings are hardly worth mentioning. His bipartisan “outdoor caucus” idea was spurned by the NDP more than by Campbell. Kootenay Bill now says he never wanted to go into politics. He was happy fishin’ and lawyerin’ in Cranbrook when he looked up and saw the socialist hordes gathered at the gates again. Our seasoned bar fighter glanced around him, but no other warrior for free enterprise was stepping up. So, reluctantly, he did. This, as Bennett would say, is bullshit. No current politician has so manifestly lusted after high office as he has. After replacing Lekstrom in the vital energy

portfolio, Bennett described to me how he had always put it at the top of his wish list whenever Campbell asked him what cabinet role he would like. (Apparently Campbell didn’t always belittle and spit on him.) It’s worth noting Bennett’s performance as an MLA and minister. He got re-elected by a thin margin last year with the help of a racially tinged advertisement targeting his aboriginal opponent’s tax status. After being named to the energy job, he proclaimed himself a climate change “denier.” Then he waded into the Prosperity mine dispute, announcing to me that an unprecedented mine royalty sharing deal was in the works with a couple of other aboriginal groups, and a similar offer would be made publicly to the militant Tsilhqot’in National Government that claims the Prosperity site.

That offer never came, so swift and vehement was the reaction by the Tsilhqot’in. Gee, do you think private talks might have been a good idea rather than letting them learn of the offer from the Williams Lake Tribune? Campbell intends to go out in the style of the real Bill Bennett. Kelowna Bill won three elections and remained premier until his successor was chosen at a convention in Whistler in 1986. When that turned out be Bill Vander Zalm, Kelowna Bill hoisted his hand, thanked the party for its support, and served quietly as MLA for Okanagan South until his successor for that job was chosen.

PRE-WINTER The Chilliwack

Progress

Changes don’t go far enough Since the New Veterans Act (NVA) was passed in 2006, many veterans are realizing that the changes to this act did not accomplish what is set out to do. The NVA was created to adjust to and meet the needs of the modern veteran. If you listen to government, the changes that have been made, are doing just that. Government does admit however, that more work needs to done and they are working hard on that. The veteran’s point of view is, the government have systematically decreased benefits to the modern veteran and are now using political spin, lip service and smoke and mirrors to hide the fact. One of the most contentious points from the Old Veterans Act (OVA). to the NVA, is replacing the lifetime monthly pension plan with the lump sum payment. This is a issue that veterans of all generations oppose. It is simply not fair to the modern veteran and is strictly a cost saving measure, designed by the government bean counter. A cost saving measure of huge financial

significance, being carried out on the very backs of the modern veteran who are risking life, limb, and sanity in service to country. The following example illustrates just how much money government is saving with this lump sum payment. A veteran under the OVA who had a 100 per cent disability would receive a tax-free monthly pension of $2,397.83 (single rate) for the rest of his/her life. This pension would increase by $599.46 per month if he/ she were married plus another $311.72 per month if they had a child. This calculation is based on Veteran Affairs 2010 rates. A veteran under the NVA would receive a $276,000 lump sum payment. Both plans ensure medical expenses for injuries are maintained for life. For comparison purposes lets assume each veteran are 30 years of age, they are both single and they both live until they are 80 years old. The veteran under the OVA would receive a lifetime pain and suffering compensation package of $1,438,689. The veteran on the

BLAIR COOPER

NVA would receive only the original lifetime pain and suffering package of $276,000. The veteran under the OVA would receive $1,162,698 more money for pain and suffering than the veteran under the NVA. It is obvious that the government is saving millions upon millions of dollars by penny-pinching the modern veteran. If Mr. Strahl and the government really wanted to stand shoulder to shoulder with the veteran, they would immediately cancel this lump-sum payment rip-off program. Last week Mr. Blackburn announced changes to the NVA stating that he has listened to the complaints of the veteran. When it came to the lump-sum payment issue however, Mr. Blackburn stated that he was ‘drawing a line in the sand’ and will not change that. I wonder why? It is time for government to stop penny-pinching the brave young men and woman who are giving the ultimate sacrifice to their country.

The plan, if approvals are obtained, is to start with upgrading the existing ski resort to attract more skiers from the Greater Vancouver area with its 2.3 million population.

afraid that things haven’t changed to this day,” she laughed. From an early age, Kiran recognized that she had a passion for working with children. “I had a dream of becomAna ing a MACEDO teacher. My father wanted me to pursue post secondary education but my mother was very protective and didn’t want me to venture far and wide,” she reflected. Fortunately, her sister-in-law had enrolled in the Early Childhood Education program at Langley

College, making post secondary education a more palatable option for her mother. “The Child Development Centre was looking to hire a student on a Canadian Job Strategy program whereby the student would have one of a two year program paid for. I was fortunate to have been chosen by the CDC and in 1993 began attending Langley College. At first I thought that I was settling for close enough but not quite there. After all, my dream was to become a teacher but the minute that I walked through their doors and started taking the course, I knew that this is what I wanted,” she said. In 1995, Kiran received her Early Childhood Education

certificate and two years later added a Special Needs diploma to her wall. By 2005 she added the Infant Toddler certificate and that same year went back to UCFV to receive her Child and Youth Care degree. “My mom has been amazing. We are so close and she’s been able to care for my children, allowing me to continue my education. She is my best friend and my inspiration. She’s a breast cancer survivor and has struggled with the disease but yet, she carries on,” she said.

Kiran Sidhu: Filling a special need s I entered Kiran Sidhu’s office, I quickly noticed how impeccably clean and well organized it was. She had greeted me in the lobby in a most warm and welcoming manner; her big, brown eyes smiling at me even though I could tell that she was nervous about the interview. As we sat and chatted, it quickly became evident how well suited she is in her role of helping children and families. Kiran cherishes the fact that she grew up surrounded by love. Her mother treasured her, though this was often reflected by a need to be over protective. Her father, meanwhile, encouraged her to be the best that she could be. “I’m of South Asian decent and having a son is culturally important. I had two brothers but my dad always referred to me as his third son, telling me that I was as equally important as my brothers,” she smiled. Though her parents didn’t permit her to join organized sports, Kiran admits that she was a tomboy and excelled in sports at school. “I really enjoyed basketball and volleyball and was quite good at them.” By the time that she was fifteen, she began working in the retail industry and became what she calls dangerously immersed in the latest fashions. “Buying new clothes became a stress reliever.

Capturing the scents of Christmas Mmmmm! Nothing smells as wonderful for the Christmas season as fresh greens inside our homes. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to see a trend towards more traditional Christmas decorating. There are all types of fresh greens you can enjoy indoors, but I always look for two qualities: how long they will stand up under dry conditions and are they fragrant. For both longevity and fragrance, it is hard to beat pine. All pine varieties have a wonderful scent, but one of the most attractive is Pinus strobus or white pine. Its soft blue needles look so graceful, and they can be used in a variety of situations, particularly to accent fresh flowers and centerpieces. Usually sold as single branches for swags, lodgepole and scotch pine are also very resilient. The long-needled Pinus ponderosa is also attractive, especially when branch tips are cut and placed in a large vase. The best use of these branches, however, is for door swags. With their naturally curved tips and large cones, they look perfect when combined with a big red velvet bow and a few shiny baubles and Christmas novelties. True fir or the abies family is my second choice for indoor greens. Silver balsam and noble fir are very good when it comes to retaining needles

www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1

Christmas greens are so nice inside our homes at this time of year. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inexpensive, natural and fragrant, writes Brian Minter and when you brush your hand against their boughs, the fragrance puts you back in the forest. I particularly like the silver underside of their needles. The flat nature of their branches makes these greens ideal for swags or for advent and traditional wreaths. Blue spruce is the ultimate picea, and its branches make beautiful door swags as well. The needles on spruce, however, do not last as long as abies or pine, and they are sharp, making them somewhat more difficult to work with. Douglas fir, named after Alexander Douglas, a British botanist who collected specimens of West Coast trees and took them back to Britain, is neither a spruce nor a fir - thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why they are classified as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;pseudo tsuga menziesiiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. They have a delightful fragrance and make beautiful looking Christmas trees, but unfortunately, their branches dry out far too quickly to make them an ideal green for indoor use. Hemlocks are much the same: lovely, but difficult both for drying out and for needle drop. Cedar is an old time favourite for many reasons, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m afraid it also has a short lifespan indoors. If you can keep it in a cool room or use it outside the home, its pendu-

lous branches are useful in swags, wreaths and most importantly, in cedar ropes. Another super idea is to pull all the spent flowers from your moss hanging baskets and replace them with all kinds of cedar tips to create wonderful Christmas baskets. Add a few frosted cones, some holly and a big red bow with long tails, and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a very attractive addition to your outside dĂŠcor. One of the most unique and attractive ideas that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in a long time is a traditional European greens arrangement. Using a piece of floristâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s oasis in a low bowl, arrange a variety of colourful green tips from yellow, blue, gold, green and bronze foliaged trees. A twisted stem of contorted filbert, one or two tall thin candles, bits of moss and a few dried perennials can be added for a finishing touch. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very creative way to wow your friends and guests, and it will last right through the festive season. Cut branches are no different than cut flowers, especially decidu-

ous holly, Ilex verticulata, with its stunning red berries. Seven to ten days is about the maximum time for any greens to be indoors without being in water. Try to have an extra supply on hand so you can replenish your creations and keep them fresh looking. By cutting about one inch off the bottom of each stem and by keeping them in room temperature water, the life span of most greens can be tripled. Decorative branches of contorted willow and filbert or the stunning brilliant yellow and red branches of twig dogwoods look great in a vase by themselves, indoors or out. My favourite are the branches of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Midwinter Fireâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; which is a yellow and orange bicolour dogwood. Christmas greens are so nice inside our homes at this time of year. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re inexpensive, natural and fragrant. To enjoy them longer, be sure to mist them often and keep them in water if at all possible.

Circle of Courage: The universal need of generosity Y

ou should be able to give away your most cherished possession without your heart beating faster. This quote, by a Lakota elder, richly sums up

this week’s article in our Circle of Courage series - exploring the universal need of generousity. Altruistic. Virtuous. Generous. Do you embody any of these

characteristics? Does your life have a sense of purpose? Did you as a child? According to the Circle of Courage the basic principle behind generousity is that giv-

ing to others makes you feel good. And feeling good about yourself improves selfesteem, which allows individuals to ‘decenter’ and contribute to others. This selfless

and positive contribution to others, otherwise known as altruism, acts as a resource for coping with life’s challenges; breaking free from the preoccupation with ourselves

offenses without retaliation; and developing empathy and a forgiving spirit. In essence, a child or youth creating their own proof of worthiness by making a positive contribution to another human life. Now some developmental psychologists think that only in the later stages of life do healthy people think more of what they can give back, leave for others, or have as their legacy; but it can be argued that contribEryn uting towards WICKER the greater good shouldn’t be reserved for when we are old, that the inclination toward generosity needs to be taught and nurtured when we are young. So clearly generousity embodies a set of characteristics, behaviours, and qualities. Some qualities evident in a child who is generous: empathetic; caring; helpful; sharing; supportive; compassionate; increased selfesteem or self-worth; motivation to help and be of service to others; and receiving pleasure from helping others. A spirit of generousity may also come out in behaviours: finding purpose outside of one’s self; offering service to others and to the community, both locally and globally; engaging in leadership opportunities; having the ability to cope with their own problems; offering support to others; and finding opportunities to show respect and concern. But what about a child who has a distorted or absent sense of generousity? Some warning signs might be: selfish and antisocial behaviours; a lack of concern for the welfare of others; callousness in their interactions with others; a “take”’ rather than “give” mentality; and being “stingy”.

the spot on a long road trip SPAM from p26 absorbed a succinct history in American labour law. We learned that founder George Hormel was instrumental in promoting the first child-labour laws in the United States. (He was forced to work when he was a young boy, and he wanted no child in future to be exploited as he was.) Other factoids: originally called “Hormel Spiced Ham,” Hormel Foods held a contest to create a new name for the product in 1936. In South Korea, Spam is considered a gourmet treat. The comic duo of George Burns and Gracie Allen were hugely popular pitchmen for Spam. Their photos—and enlargements of advertisements from the 1930s and ’40s—adorn the walls. There is even a mock broadcasting centre playing loops of Spam commercials from yesteryear. Everyone to whom we showed our photos from the museum immediately burst into the Monty Python song, and, wouldn’t you know it, the entire three-minute

Spam, Spam, Spam...The Spam Museum gift shop offers many souvenirs of your visit. ANNE GARBER/MERIDIAN WRITERS’ GROUP

Python sketch runs on a continuous loop on a big video screen in the museum, complete with props and the insistent “Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spamity-spam” refrain. We find it refreshing to visit a museum that doesn’t take itself too seri-

ously, yet still has lots of interesting stuff to discover and enjoy. There’s also something appealing for every age level. And mobility is no obstacle. Virtually everyone we have recommended the Spam Museum to responded with initial skepticism and ended up delighted. All told, the entire self-directed tour could take an hour or more, depending on interest level. Finally, there’s a really whizbang gift shop, full of all kinds of Spam temptations, ranging from inexpensive key fobs and plastic mugs to pricier aprons, pot holders, squeezy Spam pigs and many logo’d garments. Yes, it’s all advertising, but for a tired family on a long drive across the country, it can sure hit the spot. Explore More:

CHILDREN from p19 both rewarding and challenging. She works with a variety of children who are medically fragile, have cerebral palsy, and have speech delays, developing social skills and other such issues. “It’s such a delight to be able to work with the children and their families and to see their progress.” Funding is always a persistent challenge and it is heartbreaking for Kiran to work with some children and to know that their condition is degenerative, watching them deteriorate over time.

Kiran is a very loving, warm and caring person who enjoys assisting others whenever she can. She finds that society is evolving and becoming more tolerant and accepting; recognizing that actions are born more out of ignorance than intolerance. “I was at the grocery store one day and the cashier and the lady in front of me were talking about berries. The lady looked back and when she saw me and noticed that I was South Asian, she asked if my people were picking strawberries at that particular time. I didn’t want to make her feel awkward and just

smiled and told her that I was sorry but hadn’t stepped on a farm in a very long time. I take it all in stride,” she chuckled. Working with children and families on a daily basis has only improved her family life. “I spend every moment that I can with my kids. My husband, my kids and I do things together on the weekends; go on family vacations and that sort of thing. We’re very close and I find that I’m a bit over protective with my own children as my mother was with me,” she chuckled. I guess the apple never does fall far from the tree.

Feinberg 604.702.5573 • jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Steve ‘Elvis Elite’ Elliott will be performing his Wonderful World of Chirstmas Gospel Concert at Sardis Community Church on Dec. 4. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Gospel concert and a touch of charity Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The annual Christmas gospel concert by Elvis Elite has become a favourite event for hundreds of local fans each year. The Wonderful World of Christmas Gospel Concert is set for Dec. 4 at Sardis Community Church. “I think people really enjoy the old-school music by Bing Crosby and of course, Elvis. There’s something so nostalgic and so comforting in hearing the older versions of these songs,” says Steve Elliott, the award-winning tribute artist who performs as Elvis Elite. The concert falls on the same night as the downtown Parade of Lights and Sounds, but there’s time to enjoy both community

events, says the crooner. He’ll be singing much-loved holiday classics like Elvis’ Blue Christmas, I’ll be Home For Christmas, and White Christmas, and gospel songs like It’s No Secret and Precious Lord. Elliott has been performing Elvis songs in the tribute act he’s been developing since 2000, after he entered a karaoke contest on a lark, and won a set of Elvis CDs. He quickly fell in love with playing the music, and the magic of performing as the King, and won the 2005 Pacific Northwest Elvis championship. As notes in the Gospel Show section of his website (www.elviselite. com), Elvis Presley never really felt comfortable being called ‘the King’ by his adoring fans. To Elvis, only Jesus was King. He thoroughly enjoyed singing gospel songs,

reading and sharing the bible, and was always big on giving to charitable causes, without looking for public recognition for it. That’s in part why Elliott has agreed to join forces with Food for the Hungry Canada this year, and agree to a short presentation by the FH Canada president on the night of the Chilliwack show. His fans may also want to think about getting on board in a more substantial way, with the idea helping Elliott and FH Canada to build a school in Nebaj, Guatemala. “I just jumped at this. We’re hoping to build a community of our fans in support of this project,” he says. “It’s something we can do to change lives.” FH Canada is a non-profit organization providing long-term poverty relief through sustainable com-

munity development, working in 10 countries including Guatemala. Through project development, sustainable resources, child sponsorship, emergency relief and medical equipment distribution, the organization strives to meet the physical, spiritual, social and educational needs of those living in poverty. Elliott is planning a trip to Guatemala next spring, where he’ll be performing a special concert for the community they’ll be sponsoring through FH Canada. “The children are over there kicking balls on gravel roads, where a new gym could make a big difference in their lives.” There will be no offering taken at the Dec. 4 show for non-profit organization, and no push to give to the cause. But there will be a bin to take local food drive donations on-site. Partial proceeds from

the show will also be going to the Salvation Army food bank. “Just the time of year tends to move people to give from their hearts,” he says. He sees value in continuing the philanthropic tradition. “Elvis was always very good at giving,” Elliott says. “When I was at Graceland, I visited a room where they kept his costumes. “Up on the walls were thousands of cheques stubs, of donations that had gone to various charities.” Christmas Gospel Concert, Dec. 4 at Sardis Community Church on South Sumas, Doors open 6:30 p.m., concert at 7:30 p.m. Refreshments at intermission. Santa will be onsite. Tickets $22.50 at Graham’s Gifts on Wellington, or Verses on Luckakuck Way.

A spectacular afternoon delight is in store for opera fans of the Fraser Valley Philharmonic Society. The performance of Puccini’s La Bohème is set for Sunday, Dec. 5 by senior students of the UBC Opera Ensemble at the Cultural Centre. The show sold out all four of its performances last summer at the Bard on the Beach series, with performers like soprano Rebecca Paulding and baritone Andrey Andreychik. La Bohème will be staged with full costumes and lighting, and the set will be in keeping with the efficient design typical of the Bard.

Question: I have heard there is a non-surgical neck and facelift called Thermage® – is it safe and does it work? Tracy, Surrey

INFO & TICKETS: abbotsfordcentre.ca

DEC 3, 4 & 5

Abbotsford Entertainment & Sports Centre NAME PHONE EMAIL

Answer: Thermage® is a non-invasive treatment for tightening loose and sagging skin. The most common areas treated are forehead, around the eyes, the mid and lower face and the neck. After one treatment results appear gradually over a 6 month period. Typically there is no downtime. We are ﬁnding that Thermage® treatments used in conjunction with Botox, Fillers and Fraxel® create dramatic improvements to achieve a more youthful appearance. At our ofﬁce we refer to the combination of Fraxel® and Thermage® as “the facelift bypass procedure”. Dr. Marianna Snyman

The Chilliwack Progress

Fitness

The Fraser Valley Philharmonic Society in partnership with the

Chilliwack Academy of Music

Give the gift of better health A

lthough it’s not quite December, the faux snow on storefront windows, the background hum of ‘Deck the Halls’ at supermarkets, and the return of gingerbread lattes serve as constant reminders that Christmas is almost here. Unless you are one of the rare few who have finished Christmas shopping early, you are probably wondering what to give to everyone on your list. Perhaps you can give an apron to the cook in your family, a golf calendar to the sports fan, or a box of chocolates to your hair dresser. Instead, this year, give the gift of better health and show your loved ones how much you care. The gift of fitness is for everyone, from the ‘I’ll start tomorrow’ fitness type

to the elite athlete. To inspire your loved one to get started in fitness: 1. A workout DVD. You can find a DVD for every fitness level, from gentle yoga or tai chi to high intensiTanja ty workSHAW outs. Workout DVDs are a great way to get off the couch and start moving! 2. A pedometer. A step counter is a fun tool to gauge a person’s activity level during the day. For the exercise newbie, measuring steps per day is an incentive to take the stairs instead of the escalator, or to

•

walk a little further with the dog. 3. A few sessions with a personal trainer. A knowledgeable trainer will get your loved one started in the right direction and make them more accountable to staying on track with their fitness regime. Personal training programs are also an ideal gift to challenge and motivate the fitness enthusiast. For the exercise enthusiast: 1. Cold weather workout gear. Winter doesn’t officially start for another three weeks, but temperatures have already dropped to minus 10 degrees. A cozy running top or a windresistant jacket will keep your loved one warm during outdoor workouts this winter. 2. Registration to

a fitness class. Your loved one loves fitness and will appreciate the opportunity to try something new. Yoga, boot camp, and kickboxing are great ways to add spice to a stale fitness routine. 3. A heart rate monitor. If you want to invest a few extra dollars, purchase a heart rate monitor with GPS. The fitness junkie in your life will get a kick out of tracking his heart rate, distance, and speed on his new watch, and then later on the computer. Tanja Shaw is a Kinesiologist and personal trainer, specializing in weight loss, group fitness, pre and postnatal fitness, and health and wellness programs. She owns Ascend Fitness Coaching, which offers Boot Camps, mom and baby fitness classes and personal training in the Chilliwack area. Reach her at tanja@ascendfitnesscoaching.com.

Lorene Keitch The Progress The abundance of B.C.’s artistic talents are on display under one little roof in Yarrow. In this quiet corner of the Fraser Valley, mother and daughter team Trudie Martens and Kayla Kraubner have opened an arts and gifts store that showcases the best in B.C.’s arts community. Martens and Kraubner hope to draw people into Yarrow as a destination experience, luring those much-sought after tourist dollars into the community. Martens says that Yarrow, “is a little hidden treasure and has never really had exposure.” As a long-time Yarrow resident herself, she wants to see this enclave do well. Martens and her daughter worked hard to turn the old 1940 Print Shop into an attractive store that will literally stop traffic. So far, it seems to be working. The store opened in April, just in time to get the kinks worked out before the onslaught of Cultus Lake traffic began. The feedback was good, with many people stopping

Soudek back as Cougars blank Bruins Bright spots were few and far between for the Chilliwack Bruins Wednesday night, as they dropped a 4-0 decision to the Prince George Cougars at Prospera Centre. In a game where not much went right for the home side, at least the fans could be happy about the return of number 25. Robin Soudek was back in the lineup for the first time since Remembrance Day, taking his usual spot alongside linemates Ryan Howse and Roman Horak. The 19-year-old Czech looked like his usual self, digging for loose pucks along the boards and enthusiastically going to the net. That was good to see. “I was happy to be out there, although I didn’t really do anything tonight,” Soudek said. “I just wanted to play my game and not worry about what can happen. And I think I did that.” You couldn’t have blamed Soudek for being hesitant. Had he been facing a different direction two weeks ago when Vancouver defenceman Wes Va n n i e u w e n h u i z e n drove him face-first into the boards by the Chilliwack bench, Soudek could very well have suffered a season, or even career ending injury. Ever yone who saw the hit expected him to miss far more than four games and

Va n n i e u w e n h u i z e n was handed a seven game suspension by the league. Even Soudek expected worse. “I’ve seen it a few times, and I think the hit was probably partly my fault because I turned my back to him,” Soudek said. “As soon as I hit the boards, ever ything in my neck cracked and I was just happy I was able to move my fingers and toes. But they did the x-rays and everything was OK. The concussion was the worst, because some days you feel pretty good and think it might be gone. And the next day you’ve got symptoms back. It’s not a fun time.” As welcome as Soudek’s return was, it wasn’t a magic fix for the Bruins, who’ve now dropped seven of their last nine, going 2-3-2-2 over that stretch. “We didn’t play the way we wanted to play. We didn’t stick to the game plan,” Soudek said bluntly. “Nobody is doing what the coaches want. We’ve talked about it a lot in the dressing room, but it’s up to each guy to buy in and start doing it.” Prince George jumped on their struggling hosts in the first period, opening up a 2-0 lead through 20 minutes. Greg Fraser opened the scoring with his fourth of the year, finishing a feed from Nick Buonassisi at 13:49. Spencer Asuchak

PUCK PREVIEW

HEAD-TO-HEAD The Bruins are 10-4-2-1 all-time against the Winter Hawks, with a record of 8-61-1 within the friendly confines of Prospera Centre.

LAST MEETING The Bruins have had good luck against Portland, but the Winter Hawks took the last meeting between the two, played Jan. 9, 2010. Nino Niederreiter, Joe Morrow and Chris Francis scored for the Hawks with Kevin Sundher replying for the Bruins. Lucas Gore stoppped 28 of 31 shots in the Chilliwack net.

NHL PROSPECTS

Bruins blueliner Mitch Topping wheels away from Prince George forechecker Nick Buonassisi during WHL action Wednesday night at Prospera Centre. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

doubled the lead four minutes later with a goal that Chilliwack netminder Lucas Gore would love to have back. Working against Bruins blueliner Jeff Einhorn, Asuchak fired a backhand shot from the right faceoff circle, beating Gore five-hole for his ninth of the year. Shots on goal in period one were even at 11-11. Slow starts have been a major issue for the Bruins. “We get great preparation from our coaching staff, and it’s up to the players to do what they want,” Soudek

reiterated. The Cougars were buzzing again to begin period two, and added to their lead at 11:15 on a goal by Vernon native James Dobrowolski. Tampa Bay Lightning uber-prospect Brett Connolly set him up with a pass from the right corner. Cutting left to right across the goal-mouth, Dobrowolski found Gore out of position and nothing but net to shoot at for his fifth of the year. Cougars D-man Sena Acolatse blew a power play slap-shot past Gore at 16:06 to wrap up the scoring.

Shots on goal in period two favoured the Cougars 8-5. The best chance Chilliwack had to break up James Priestner’s shutout came in the first minute of the final frame. Roman Horak flew down the right wing and stepped inside on Prince George defenceman Cody Carlson. Horak’s laser from 15 feet out pinged off the right post, and that was it for the Bruins who were blanked for the first time this season in front of a seasonlow crowd of 2,267. If there is good news, it’s that despite

the recent slump, Chilliwack finds itself just three points out of first place in the B.C. division. “Yeah, but we’re losing games we’re supposed to win, and if we’d win these games we’d be on the top,” Soudek noted. Three stars were Asuchak (first), Buonassisi (second) and Priestner (third). Chilliwack’s next chance to right the ship is tonight when they host Ty Rattie and the Portland Winter Hawks at Prospera Centre. Puck drop is 7:30 p.m.

Football Rams moving to Langley new head coach Tyson St. James. The move is bad news for the Chilliwack Huskers. While the local team didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have any Langley natives on the roster last year, they did draw several players from the Abbotsford/

Maple Ridge/Mission pool. Having another team in closer proximity may make recruiting tougher for Chilliwack bench boss Luke Acheson. The Rams were playing out of South Surrey Athletic Park, but hopes

of improved facilities never materialized. The Rams went 5-5 this year, losing 46-10 to the Nanaimo Raiders in the playoffs.

Sports impossible to block on the defensive line. Linebackers Spencer Breslin and Gabe Mannes added to the pressure, and defensive backs Adam Phillips, Evan McCracken and Brendan Piegsa were effective covering the Abbotsford receivers. Leading tackler Wyatt Uzick completely shut down the Falcons running game, helped by linebacker Emilio Pineda and defensive tackle Austin Kardux. “They say defense wins championships, and that couldn’t be more true than tonight,” Janzen exclaimed. “We are so proud of all of these boys.” On of fence, Chilliwack depended on the inside running of Pineda and Ethan Mastin. Pineda was the leading rusher for the third straight game, while Mastin scored two

touchdowns via the always-potent wedge play. Gabe Mannes added nine carries for 72 yards and a major. Chilliwack’s simple inside running scheme ran down the clock effectively, with one drive consuming an entire quarter. The Giants running game depends completely on the push from the offensive line. The boys up front were anchored by center Gibson Hardie, with outstanding efforts by Gaven Streiffel, Devan Voss and Noah Chand clearing great holes for the backs. The Giants play in the provincial semifinals this Saturday at Townsend Park, taking on the Mission (Kelowna) Lions. A victory in the semifinal will send the Giants to the provincial championship which would be played Dec. 5.

Chilliwack’s bantam Giants get a belated crack at a Valley Community Football League title, taking on the Abbotsford Falcon-Niners at 6 p.m. Saturday at Townsend Park. Originally scheduled for last Saturday, the game is a matchup between the top two regular season teams in the bantam division. Chilliwack was 7-2-0 with Abbotsford 5-3-1.

Chilliwack’s peewee Blue Giants dropped the Abbotsford Falcons 20-0 in the Valley Community Football League final, played Tuesday night at Townsend Park. The game was originally scheduled for Saturday, but was postponed when the city closed the field. The game was then supposed to be played Monday, but gusting winds forced another cancellation. When the teams finally kicked off on Tuesday, temperatures were dipping to minus10 celcius. “I told the boys that

Peewees power past Abby hitting Falcons would keep them warm, and apparently they listened,” said Blue Giants head coach Lawrence Smith. The Giants defense allowed only 36 net yards to the Falcons offense, recording several quarterback sacks. Abbotsford’s typically great aerial attack floundered in the face of blitz after blitz. “We wanted to bring pressure and make their quarterback very uncomfortable, because if he gets in a groove he is tough to stop,” said Chilliwack’s defensive coordinator, David Janzen. “They beat us 36-0 the last time we met and most of their points were through the air.” Jake Troyan was named the VCFL championship game MVP, recording three sacks.

He played six regular season and four playoff games that year before making the leap to fulltime duty in 2008-09. Last year was his breakout season, setting career highs in goals (13) and points (54) in 69 games played. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s taken it to another level this year.

He has only been held pointless in two games this season. Manning surpassed David Robinson as the all-time Bruins penalty king late last year, accumulating 341 penalty minutes to date. Earlier this season, Manning (167-34-75-109) eclipsed former Bruins captain Nick Holden (137-30-6191) as the top scoring blueliner in Chilliwack franchise history. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think one of the things Philly liked about me was my allround game,â&#x20AC;? Manning noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can put pucks

BOAKE Rita Elvera

(nee Enns) Feb. 15, 1938 – Nov. 20, 2010 Sadly we announce the passing of Rita Elvera Boake on November 20, 2010 at the Chilliwack BOAKE Hospice following a courageous battle with cancer. Rita is survived by Ercyl, her husband of 50 years, brothers Ted (Muriel) Enns and Hardy (Bernice) Enns, Aunt Helen Siemans, stepdaughter Lynda Boake, Stepgranddaughter Becky (Doug) Reid. Also survived by numerous cousins, nieces, nephews and in-laws. Predeceased by her Mother (2009) and Father (1978) Marie and George Enns. A Chilliwack girl all of her life, Rita was born and raised in the family home on South Sumas Road in Greendale. She attended Greendale Elementary, Chilliwack Jr., and graduated from Chilliwack Senior in 1956. Following graduation she worked 22 years in the ofﬁce at Bowman Sawmill. This is where she met Ercyl, and they were married in 1960. A job change took her to Westform Metals until retirement in 1988. Rita was a tireless volunteer who freely contributed her time over the years. She was a Soroptimist member since 1973 making many friends around the world from many walks of life. She was also a board member for Chilliwack Community Services and the Chamber of Commerce for 10 years. A member of Club 28 from 1967-2004 when the club was disbanded. Member of PEO Sisterhood Chapter B.C. since 1992 and a volunteer with the Academy of Music, not to mention many other or-

ganizations. It was with great honor and privilege to Rita to be selected as Chilliwack Woman of the Year in 1993. Rita was a wonderful, fun loving person who was able to brighten a room with her presence. Ercyl and Rita had a great life together. Rita always enjoyed family gettogethers, was interested in how everyone was doing and if a little one was in the gathering would soon have them in her arms. They enjoyed time spent with friends, RVing, morning walks and coffee visits. A fabulous party was held this summer celebrating their 50th anniversary. She will be greatly missed by all who were a part of her life. We love you Rita. A celebration of life will be held at the Masonic Temple, 45905 Hocking Ave., Saturday, December 11, 2010 at 1-3 pm. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations may be made to a charity of your choice in Rita’s name.

Wade is predeceased by his granddad, Harvey and his Aunt Dee Dee In January 2010 Wade was diagnosed with a brain tumor, Glioblastoma Multiforme Astrocytoma grade 4.

In February, Wade and his uncle John went to Daytona 500; he went to the Grand Canyon and Monument Valley with Ellen on their Harleys, having an epic journey and riding the open road. Wade was a family man, nothing was more important to him than family and good friends. It was this love, strength and determination that kept him with his family and friends, far longer than many doctors predicted. The family would like to

give thanks to Dr. Josh Olson at Chilliwack General Hospital and all the doctors and nurses in Emergency at ARHCC, along with Jayne, Paul, Terry and Randy, to name a few in the Palliative Unit. Dr. Chan, Dr. Murphy, Dr. Hsu, Dr. Bolton and a special warm thankyou to our family physician Dr. Robert Brown and Karie, who always made time for our family; along with great admiration to Irene, Wade’s favorite “Boss”. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations in the Memory of Wade Silbernagel to Canuck Place Children’s Hospice would be greatly appreciated. A web page is being developed under Wade’s name; donations will be accepted online at http://tinyurl.com/wadesilb.

He then decided to move to Crystal Ridge Manor in Chilliwack to be closer to his family. He volunteered for 33 years with many organizations such as Meals on Wheels, CNIB, Silver Threads, Gorge Hospital library, Salvation Army and more recently, before he took ill, at Mother Theresa Thrift shop. He received many citations and awards for the many, many hours of volunteer work and was very proud of it. He touched the lives of many people with his smiles and gentle nature, and maintained his trademark of independence and sense of humour with his many corny jokes. He will deﬁnitely be missed by all. No service by request. He will be cremated. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. The family of Adam wishes to extend sincere thanks to Dr. Phillip Weatherston, nurses of NU3, and especially the wonderful staff of Crystal Ridge manor for the extra special care he was given.

GRIEF

Monday - Friday 8:30 am - 5:00 pm

and the holiday season

~ Celebrating a Life ~ One service our funeral home has been carrying through the holiday season is our “Celebration Of Life”. This is where families within our community who have lost a loved one come and reflect and remember the life of the one who has passed away. This is a service where lives are impacted. People come to share their memories in lighting a candle. Lighting a candle has a great significance. As each person is given a candle to keep and to light, it demonstrates that the life of our loved one still burns within us. It helps us to

reflect and remember. It pays tribute to the life that has impacted us. Grief is like electricity gone out during a power failure. It is dark and it can have a really bad feeling. Working through our grief is just like lighting a candle during a power failure, it brightens the room and it comforts our heart. It represents those precious lives. This service calls upon each one of us to help and share each others loss. It also calls us to remember and to reflect upon the life that lived among us. The flame of their life still lights up our heart.
