The BCHL board of governors held an email vote this weekend to yay or nay the sale and relocation of the Quesnel Millionaires to Chilliwack. The result, a resounding yes for what was once one of the league’s flagship markets. “We are very proud to once again be involved with the BCHL, a first-class league with a great tradition Harvey [Smyl] of providing exciting hockwas very ey entertainwhile also important, not ment grooming qualjust on the ity young men to be profeshockey side sional hockey players, top colbut for his lege students or connection to for a head start the world the community into of business,” Moray ~ Glen Ringdal said Keith in a news release issued late Tuesday morning. “We are enthusiastic about BCHL hockey and passionate about the role the club plays in moulding our leaders of the future. So many prominent and successful men have come through the ranks of the BCHL to the forefront of business and community service because of the philosophy and practices of the league.” The relocated team will take the name Chiefs, reclaiming the moniker used by the junior A squad that played in Chilliwack from 1990 to 2006. The name was made available when the Langley team changed its name to the Rivermen in late April.

‘Tears of joy’ as Sto:lo celebrate child care agency Robert Freeman The Progress A ceremony to celebrate the creation of a revamped Sto:lo child protection agency was held Thursday at The Landing Sports Centre in Chilliwack. But it appears the agency – which still carries the Xyolhmeylh name of the earlier version – is not supported by all Sto:lo communities, and it may not lead to a healing of the political rift that split the Sto:lo into two camps, the Sto:lo Nation and the Sto:lo Tribal Council. Differences over child protection as delivered by Xyolhmeylh was one of the main factors in the 2004 break-up, and differ-

ences over child apprehension policy remain. Sheila Schmidt, president of the newly-created Fraser Valley Aboriginal Children and Family Services Society, which now operates the Xyolhmeylh agency, would not comment on that policy Thursday, saying it is a political issue and the board is a non-political body. “Today, we’re celebrating moving forward,” she said. “Today, we’re celebrating the passing of the reins from the ministry to the Fraser Valley.” In 2007, the B.C. Children and Families Ministry took over dayto-day operations of the troubled agency, but on Dec. 17 last year, a delegation enabling agreement

was signed by provincial and federal officials that returned control of Xyolhmeylh back into the hands of the aboriginal community. Deb Foxcroft, assistant deputy minister at the children’s ministry, said the agreement that will allow the Sto:lo to provide care for their own children, as well as those from other aboriginal groups like the Metis and “urban” children living offreserve, was “a long time coming.” “There’s been a lot of blood and sweat and tears to get to this place,” she said. “Now we shed tears of joy.” She said aboriginal children will get care based on their own

culture and traditions. “This is where children belong, and this is where they need to be,” she said. Barb Walsh, the ministry’s Fraser region representative, said the board was an “inspiration” for its “vision” and its hard work turning the vision into reality. “You’ve created a vision and developed a vision and worked toward a vision,” she said. “It’s been a remarkable thing to watch.” “The vision for delivering services to children and families in the territory is in very capable hands,” she said.

Finishing school in spite of the system For more than five years, the Chilliwack school district has consistently lagged behind the provincial average in graduating students. In the 2009/10 school year, just 69 per cent of students made it to graduation – 11 per cent below the provincial average. The Chilliwack Progress is putting faces to those numbers. This is part three of a four-part series. Katie Bartel The Progress While most boys grow up playing soccer and video games, Sebastian White grew up on the streets, stealing cars and selling drugs to survive. “I was ripped off,” he says of his childhood. Sebastian, who was classified a gifted student by the Surrey school district early on, left home when he was 13. Without going into details, he says he couldn’t live there anymore. But no matter how hard he pleaded for help, the Ministry of Sebastian White says he’s determined to secure his high school diploma.

Sebastian was approved for a youth agreement. He is now living independently; the ministry is paying for his rent and utilities, and gives him $335 a month for groceries and other amenities. “Because I wasn’t in the system [foster care] I had to fight for this. It’s just the way the system works. Their job is to turn everyone away that they can until they absolutely have to because they can’t afford it. It came down to politics. “Kids shouldn’t be dealing with this sort of stuff, especially when they’re young. Back when I was 13, somebody should have come and done something, but they didn’t.” If all goes well, Sebastian will graduate on time next June. “The thing is, I’m lucky. I’m a really strong person, I’m charismatic, intelligent, and it was easier for me, even when I was in a position where I felt powerless, I managed to pull it off somehow by just sticking with it I guess. But a lot of people aren’t and they’d give up. “I know what it’s like. I felt like I was not entitled to this [my education] and that should not be the policy. You do have a right to education, if I’m not mistaken, and they should be doing everything in their power to give you a second, third, 150 chances, because what are you without an education?”

District budget lifts staffing numbers Board votes 4-3 in favour of $110M budget Katie Bartel The Progress What by all accounts appeared to be a good news budget had some school trustees up in arms. A $110 million budget was narrowly passed on Tuesday with a 4-3 vote, despite an increase to teachers, principals, vice principals, educational assistants, support staff and other professionals. Still, it wasn’t good enough for trustee Heather Maahs. She wanted the district to amend for the cuts made last year, especially with regards to the restructuring of school administration. “Principals and vice principals are school sharing,” she said. “In some cases, one principal is overseeing three schools ... I don’t think that is in the best interest of the principal, the staff and obviously the students.”

Trustee John-Henr y Harter however said that without a clear alternative it wouldn’t be in the best interest of the school district to not pass the budget. “I am not being offered any amendments or any clear actions,” he said. “I can’t without a sound alternative in place vote against this budget. To just simply say ‘Don’t pass it,’ that’s not compelling to me.” The budget includes 685.5 teachers, an increase of 22.3 from last year; 58.7 principals and vice principals, an increase of 3.0; 24.4 executive and management staff, an increase of 0.7; 200.6 educational assistants, an increase of 3.7; and 255.6 other support staff, an increase of 3.7. Trustees Martha Wiens and Silvia Dyck, as well as Maahs, voted against the budget. kbartel@theprogress.com

Chilliwack will be among 105 locations in the first wave of new Target department stores coming to Canada, it was revealed Thursday. Target Canada president Tony Fisher made the announcement in Chicago. The store will be located at Cottonwood Mall, taking over the space now occupied by Zellers. “We are thrilled to share these first details about our planned entry into Canada,” said Fisher. Chilliwack is one of 15 B.C. locations. The company had announced in January that it was buying leaseholds for more than 200 Zellers stores. There was early speculation that Chilliwack may be a candidate. Target analyzed data on Canadian retail performance, demographics, competition and market potential to identify trade areas which would be well-served by a Target store, the company said. Each selected site is subleased to Zellers and will continue to operate as a Zellers store for some time. Six to nine months prior to opening as Target stores, the majority of stores will be closed for significant remodeling. On average, about $10 million will be invested in remodeling each location. The American retail giant signed a $1.8 billion deal on Jan. 13 to buy Zellers Inc. from Hudson’s Bay Company. Target expects to begin opening its stores in the first wave in 2013.

Silkpeel Q & A QUESTION: My skin tone is uneven and as I am aging I am developing wrinkles. I have been advised to have a series of ‘Silkpeels’. Could you explain what a Silkpeel is? Janet, Surrey

ANSWER: A Silkpeel is a non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure. It can be used for acne, aging, pigmentation and most other ailments commonly affecting the skin on the face and body. Silkpeels provide exfoliation and the delivery of condition specific topical products simultaneously. After a Silkpeel series your skin looks more even, glowing and feels like silk!

Disaster response gets a boost Andrea Rendall The Progress Chilliwack’s Emergency Social Ser vices (ESS) Program received an $11,250 grant from Farm Credit Canada (FCC) to assist with the purchase of two trailers that will help ESS volunteers better serve the city should a disaster or emergency occur. The grant from the AgriSpirit Fund, along with public donations, will help up to 150 evacuees or people needing immediate shelter, food and clothing. Each trailer is packed and prepared for response in an emergency situation. The trailers will carry 75 cots a-piece, as well as pillows, blankets, a reception desk for the required paper work and signage, and First-

the trailers were purchased. “We had a problem,” says Chilliwack Emergency Program co-ordinator Jim MacDonald. “We found that every time we were deploying, we were going to storage, throwing x number of cots into a van and driving off, unloading, driving off and getting more.” “So we put everything in a trailer, and it makes all the sense in the world. We’ve got everything all in one box, so to speak... so it really allows us to set up anywhere, any time at all.” MacDonald also plans to help other communities with the new trailers. “This is a great asset and we’re going to use it infrequently, so let’s make it available to all the ESS crews throughout the upper Fraser Valley. This will be available to folks in Abbotsford, Agassiz, Hope, Harrison Hot Springs... because we can just simply hook it up, drive over and deploy.” MacDonald’s application to the AgriSpirit Fund was chosen as one of 12 projects throughout B.C., from 919 applications across Canada. “The City of Chilliwack would like to thank Farm Credit Canada for this emergency preparedness funding,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “These trailers will allow us to quickly deliver emergency support directly to those in need.”

WALMART CORRECTION NOTICE

Chiefs owners confident fans will be back CHIEFS from Front Chilliwack will play next season in the Interior conference, flanked by the likes of the Vernon Vipers, Penticton Vees and Salmon Arm Silverbacks. That’s not an ideal arrangement, but the league will explore realignment for the 201213 season. “That was one of our debating points, and we certainly didn’t prefer the Interior conference option,” said Glen Ringdal, who led the negotiations on the Chilliwack side. “We want the rivalries with Langley and Surrey and Coquitlam, but it was very important for the BCHL that we do this for one year, and that’s a concession that we made. I like good, tough negotiations. You want to come to a point where the deal works for both sides, and the answer here is that yes, we did that.” The ownership group bringing the BCHL back to Chilliwack is effectively the same one that just sold a BCHL team in Langley, minus Heinz Hasselmen. Moray Keith, Jim Bond are the majority owners, joined by Harvey Smyl. More local investors are expected to come on board in time. Keith, Bond and Smyl sold the Langley Chiefs to John and Roy Henderson in late April. Keith and Bond were also part of the ownership group of the Chilliwack Bruins, the Western Hockey League franchise that played five seasons in Chilliwack before bolting to Victoria. Keith was vocal in his desire

to secure another major junior franchise, with the Prince George Cougars rumoured to be the primary target. He also pushed for another WHL expansion franchise, but the league was quick to shoot that down. One of the main questions the BCHL board of governors wanted answered was how committed the Chiefs ownership group would be. The league got the commitment it wanted, with Keith and company locking in for 10 years. “It wasn’t all that important to us, but it was to the league,” Ringdal said. “We were in the league and left the league and now we’re back in the league and are we going to leave the league again? It was a very legitimate question, and once we understood their concerns we had very little difficulty committing to a long term.” Another part of the agreement was the payment of a very steep relocation fee of $250,000. “I was very unhappy about that because there’s never been a relocation fee paid before,” Ringdal said candidly. “But it is what it is, and I said to the boys when this was coming through that we’re going to have a nice success on our hands and we’ll look back on this and not regret it.” At their height, the previous incarnation of the Chiefs had the best attendance of any junior A team in Canada. The Chiefs earned fan loyalty during their 16 year run, claiming three Mowatt Cups (1994-95, 1999-00 and 2001-02) as BCHL champions. The team added a

Opening June 6th

Doyle Cup title in 200102, beating the Alberta champion Drayton Valley Thunder in six games. The Chiefs lost in the Royal Bank Cup semifinal that year. As expected, the man who guided those teams will control hockey operations for the new-look Chiefs. Smyl was the head coach and general manager of the Langley Chiefs over the last five seasons, and he has a tall task ahead of him trying to take the transplanted Millionaires roster and turn it into a winner. The 2010-11 Mills stumbled to a 13-38-3-6 record and made a quick playoff exit, yielding in four games to the Penticton Vees. Quesnel scored a league-low 140 goals in 60 regular season games while surrendering 250. Only Williams Lake, Coquitlam and Cowichan Valley were leakier defensively. With a large chunk of recruiting season already gone, Smyl will need to pull some rabbits out of the hat to keep the Chiefs competitive in the stacked

Interior conference. “Harvey was very important, not just on the hockey side but for his connection to the community. He’s going to be very comfortable, much more so perhaps than he was in Langley,” Ringdal noted. “And we’re going to have him concentrating on the hockey side, where he had to wear two hats (business and hockey) in Langley. We’re going to have someone who’s quality and professional running the business side, and the two of them can work together.” A president has yet to be named, although an announcement should be made soon. On the business side, Ringdal said there’s plenty of work to be done rebuilding bridges scorched during the five years and subsequent departure of the Bruins. Much has been said about the WHL team’s failure to engage in the community, although Ringdal is quick to credit the players and coaches for doing their part. “I think they did their job and did it well.

disconnect came at the higher level and not at the team level,” Ringdal said, pointing the finger of blame in the direction of former Bruins president Darryl Porter. Though there is lingering bitterness over the Bruins, and a hesitancy to invest emotionally and financially with another hockey team, Ringdal believes the fan and business support will be there for the Chiefs. “I’ve been through this trick before when we took over the B.C. Lions in 1997. Fans and business people had been burned so bad by the club that a lot of them just took a wait-and-see attitude,” Ringdal said of his experiences with the Canadian Football League team prior to David Braley’s ownership. “Sometimes you have let them sit back and see if you’re genuine and if you’re doing what they’d hoped. We know we’re going to, so I don’t have any lack of confidence that those people will eventually come back, even if it’s not right away.”

HST may be saved If the BC Liberal government’s plan to overhaul the HST is not met with complete skepticism by a wary public, the HST may well survive the coming mail referendum to become the province’s sales tax. The plan announced Wednesday, to reduce the HST rate to 10 per cent by July 1, 2014, offer one-time compensation to families with children under 18 and seniors with incomes under $40,000, and boost business tax rates, is ambitious and even audacious. Most importantly, it is a much fairer approach to this issue than anything else the government has rolled out in two years of virtual non-stop HST public relations disasters. Premier Christy Clark deserves some of the credit, as does Finance Minister Kevin Falcon. Falcon broached the idea of reducing the HST rate in his leadership campaign. Other members of the BC Liberal caucus have been talking about it for more than a year. Clark ran and won the party leadership on a pledge to look at government actions through a “family first” lens. In other words, “How does this action affect families?” It is an approach that was long ago forgotten by her predecessor, Gordon Campbell, who in his final years as premier seemed to only listen to the business community. An independent panel concluded that the HST was a fundamental tax shift away from business and onto consumers, at a cost of $350 for the “average” family. The tax is also bringing in far more revenue than Campbell ever acknowledged. Anyone could determine that it was far from “revenue neutral,” as an additional 20 per cent of items, formerly exempt from PST, are now subject to HST. To its credit, the business community, which is being asked to pay more in income taxes to help pay for this HST rebalancing, is reacting positively. It recognizes the long-term value of the tax and its fundamental efficiency, but also unselfishly realizes that the tax must be much fairer towards consumers, and must be seen as being much fairer. This “Hail Mary” play by the Clark government may save the tax, and maybe even save its own bacon. ~ Black Press

HST debate heats up as the vote draws nears VICTORIA – My feedback on the harmonized sales tax debate is running hotter as taxpayers awaited Premier Christy Clark’s “bold” changes to the tax, which were released this week. In response to several angry readers, I will restate what I had hoped was obvious by now. All but the poorest consumers (myself included) are paying more tax under the HST than they were under the old provincial sales tax. The richest pay by far the most. The “embedded” PST has been removed from many products, but evidence isn’t yet clear that this is being passed on to consumers, as economists predict. What is clear is that businesses are benefiting. What is still in dispute is what businesses are helped most. Doug Donaldson, the NDP MLA for Stikine, objected to my statement last week that he was wrong about the HST beneficia-

ries being “Liberal donor corporations.” So again I will state the obvious, that forest, mining and other resource companies donate to the B.C. Liberals. (The NDP is on record as wanting to increase corporate income and capital taxes.) Donaldson goes wrong when he Tom specifies “corporaFLETCHER tions” rather than small business. Consider the forest industry. Over the past 20 years the entire B.C. industry contracted out its har vesting operations, based on the well-tested principle that independent contractors are more efficient than inflexible, strike-prone major forest operators. That has been a painful pro-

cess, not just economically but in terms of worker safety. But it’s exactly the kind of global-market shift that is being imposed on B.C. As mentioned last week, you may not like that, but you shouldn’t believe those who try to pretend it’s not happening. And those big “corporations” had their major machinery and equipment exempted from sales tax long before the HST. It’s the small contractors who are now getting the benefit. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston notes that anyone can incorporate for tax purposes. It’s common for doctors, dentists and lawyers such as Ralston. But is it practical to expect the owneroperator of a logging truck to do that? The independent truck drivers I’ve met are more concerned about paying their next fuel bill

than hiring a lawyer to incorporate them. Increasingly it is immigrants who drive trucks, out-working the resident population to get ahead as immigrants have always had to do. Speaking of immigrants, the situation in Vancouver real estate is worth noting. One of the things HST was supposed to severely depress was high-end new housing, now subject to the sevenper-cent provincial portion of HST once the prices exceeds $525,000. What has happened? Offshore buyers are pushing costs out of the reach of B.C. residents who aspire to an ocean view. In many cases these are “satellite families,” taking advantage of our clean, stable, safe jurisdiction on the Pacific Rim. Mum may drive the kids to private school in a Range Rover, but the family reports little or no Canadian income. The only way these resi-

dents will pay a share is through consumption taxes. I have also argued that migration of retirees will dominate B.C.’s population growth in the coming years. This is another group that reports less income but has significant consumption. A recent BC Stats study shows that I overstated the impact of retirees. Since 1961, only seven per cent of migrants to B.C. have been 65 or older. Younger people are coming here to work, and increasingly they will be self-employed or in small business. The NDP supports lowering small business income tax to zero. They should also support the HST.

Readers Write Time to declare an emergency in our schools I want to thank you for the nongraduation article [Faces behind Chilliwack’s graduation numbers, Chilliwack Progress, May 20] in the first of your series. I am looking forward to the next ones. I especially appreciate you putting a face to the situation. It is of course very sad but also so necessary to bring this issue to the forefront. Thank you! I find it extremely frustrating to know that the last two and a half years I’ve been on the board our rates have actually dropped. From my perspective, when pri-

orities are set on non measurable and abstract items such as are in our strategic plan, the student’s fundamental needs get lost. I look forward to the next three articles. You are bringing much needed attention to a problem that should have us all dropping everything and declaring a state of emergency over. Maybe this will be the catalyst that accomplishes just that.

The Chilliwack

Progress Student’s story inspires I just finished reading Nathon Jimmie’s story and I want to applaud him for this courage and congratulate him on his upcoming graduation. What an amazing young man!.. and kudos for his community for the support they have given him. We need to hear about more of these successes and, also as a community, provide more of the support necessary for them.

We have the power to do better All citizens are diminished by poor education. We know what our mission is supposed to be: improving student achievement. The School Act holds us accountable for all educational programs and services provided. Boards must make decisions, not simply rubber-stamp them. We aught to ask questions, and then deliberate upon the answers provided. Sadly, the system is not measuring up and the glass is only half full. Significant number of students are not making the grade. For example, up to 30 per cent of our high school students have not made it to the finish line. For years, this school district has “languished below the provincial average in graduating students.” And it gets worse. Barely half of all graduates are actually prepared for college or careers. These are our “walking wounded”. Standards of efficiency and effectiveness are not being met. A former education minister, has herself admitted that “something is not working, and that we can do better.” I believe we have a productivity crisis, that is, spending more without improving outcomes. But

simply throwing more money at the problem is not likely to fix what ails us. There is no reliable link between the resources going into the schools and the learning that comes out. Besides, we already have the “highest per-pupil spending in Canada” (Ministry of Education). To meet the challenge of underachievement we must be bold and we must be brutally honest. Producing and delivering academic curriculum that yields top-notch results follows a tried and proven formula. The good news is we know what works in education – scientifically based educational programs. We know how to run outstanding schools. We have plenty of examples of schools that succeed against all odds. As it stands, reading instruction in our schools, for example, is like a game of musical chairs in which a third of the players lose their seats even before the music starts. That is a shame when, according to Dr. Barbara Bateman, “near failure-proof methods of teaching all children (to read) are already available. Continued failure of schools to

employ these programs is at least negligent and at worst malicious.” We would do well to follow lessons learned from the field of medicine: first describe and diagnose, then prescribe and treat, then monitor and re-evaluate, using the most current evidence available. Unfortunately, we will rather lower the bar and thus indulge in the “soft bigotry and tyranny of low expectations.” Let’s quit trotting out the tired old alibis i.e. “it’s the very challenged kids coming into our schools”, according to the present school superintendent – a classic case of ‘ blame the victim’. Why not get on with the job at hand? Every child can learn, and every child must learn. Children pass through this way only once. And we do not get unlimited time to provide them with the best possible education. While 31 per cent of Chilliwack students are headed towards failure, no “guardian of mediocrity” need apply to be the next top dog here.

In response to “More police patrols needed” (Progress letter, May 24): Please, please, do not run down our police force.

Lawrence Roberts, a Tzeachten First Nation councillor and Sto:lo representative on the board, said, “it’s really good to know our aboriginal people are finally taking control of the children again.” He said the best way for aboriginal children to find their identity is through their own culture and traditions. “We’re building a stronger foundation for our children,” he said. Cole McGillivary, executive director of the board, introduced Joanne Jefferson, the in-coming president of the society as Schmidt is leaving at the end of May. Schmidt was wrapped in a Sto:lo blanket at the end of the Thursday ceremony, and given the last word to the audience of Xyolhmeylh staff and ministry officials. “We have gone through so many challenges ... political issues, transition issues, but we pulled together and we achieved governance,” she said. But the staff are the “backbone” of the agency, she added, and she urged them to leave the past behind and continue to work toward the future. “We are in a good place now, and we all need to look forward, not backwards,” she said. “Let’s work together to build this agency stronger than ever.”

She said there were 339 calls for police assistance over the weekend, down from 353 last year, and “nothing major” among those complaints. Six impaired drivers were ticketed, she said, and “several” motor vehicle accidents occurred on Chilliwack streets, three with injuries.

The cause of the 4:30 a.m. fire is not known, and it’s the second fire in a month at the remote location. The first fire occurred April 18. Firefighters were able to quickly extinguish the May 20 fire before it was able to consume two similar units parked nearby. The detached semi-trailer was used for storage and contained a mix of household items that were completely destroyed by the fire. There were no civilian or firefighter injuries. Anyone with information about the fire should called the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or the Chilliwack Fire Department at 604-792-8713.

Community Giving kids a chance at organized sport Because one in three Canadian families cannot afford to enroll their child in an organized sport or recreation activity, Canadian Tire initiated the Jumpstart program. It will be hosting its 15th Annual Jumpstart Day on Saturday, May 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Jumpstart program is a national charitable program designed to help kids with financial barriers participate in organized sport and recreation. The charity accepts donations all year long, but hosts the fundraising event once a year in order to raise awareness of the number of underprivileged kids in the community. The event will take place in the Canadian Tire parking lot located at 7560 Vedder Rd. with a street fair set up outside the store. M&M Meats will have its barbecues fired up, Star FM and The Hawk will be live on location, demonstrations by the Pacific Allstar Cheerleaders and Chilliwack 4H Dog Club will be presented, and

team sports. Jumpstart will help cover the cost of equipment, registration or transportation with a grant of a maximum $300 per child per session. Since 2005, 1,000 kids and teens in Chilliwack have had the opportunity to play in organized sports or recreation that otherwise wouldn’t have been able to without the help of the Jumpstart program.

Promotional coordinator Jane Aitken, says, “it’s about kids and youth organization... to just give [the event] a kid feeling, is what I’m trying to do.” She hopes the children’s play area next to the garden centre will help maintain that theme. By working with over 700 organizations across Canada (Big Brothers Big Sisters and YMCA/ YWCA, etc.), the program discreetly identifies children between the ages of four through 18 from financially disadvantaged families and provides them with an the opportunity to develop self-esteem and leadership skills through

Tammy Sloan: Building a stronger community Tammy Sloan has incredible drive. She’s a go-getter who sets her sights high and then works hard to achieve her goals. She’s not sure where that passion comes from. Her mother and father are hard-working people, but Tammy’s drive to succeed far exceeds even their expectations.

Although Tammy spent much of her growing up years in Surrey, her early, formative years were spent in Dawson Creek, a small, historical community in northern B.C. that is best known as the Alaska Highway Mile ‘0’ site. This is where Tammy first developed her strong sense of community. “I have always wanted to be the best that I can be for my family, my friends and my community. Community is something that is very important to me,” she emphasized. While living in northern British Columbia, Tammy’s father had an excavating business and the family lived on a hobby farm. “We had chickens and a pig, from what I remember. We basically farmed for ourselves,” she explained. As a youngster, Tammy was known as the ‘Queen of the Roller-skates.’ “I lived in those things and did everything in them too including skipping rope

If caught, worth $100 EACH

and riding horses,” she laughed. She also played volleyball and soccer but aside from that she had her heart set on becoming an accountant. Eventually, the family moved to Surrey and her father became a truck driver. Tammy visited Dawson Creek each summer where she was able to stay conAna nected with MACEDO family and friends. After high school, she went to Kwantlen College and took a two-year, business management program. With her certificate in hand, she was quickly hired by the Bank of Montreal and remained with them for the next seven years. “My first branch was the one on Broadway and Willow in Vancouver although I did move around to

where I was needed most,” she said. Tammy thoroughly enjoyed working at the bank and gained a lot of valuable, financial experience. However, after 11 robberies, she decided that she’d had enough. “All of the robberies were not at the same branch,” she clarified with a chuckle. “Nonetheless, it became trying after a while. I clearly remember what would be my last experience. It was Christmas Eve and we were robbed at 11 in the morning and then again at two in the afternoon. I was the teller that they robbed in the afternoon and that was it for me. It was time to move on.” After leaving the bank, Tammy decided to explore a variety of

www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309

things. “I managed a hotel that had two bars and a liquor store; I’ve done retail, did some bartending, worked with the RCMP as a 911 operator for three years, I now own my own concession trailer and put on the Little Rascals Kids Market events at Heritage Park. I’m busy and have always liked to try new things. One of my greatest accomplishments, though, is my role as a mother and wife. I have three children and I want to be a good example to them. I want them to know that you can do anything that you set your mind to. Dream it, work hard and you can achieve it if you really want it,” she said, in a most determined manner. In the future, Tammy would like to pursue event management. As for down time, she just laughs and suggests that she’s too busy for that at the moment.

Desperately seeking moose Judi Lees Meridian Writers’ Group YELLOWKNIFE, N.W.T. – Gord Gin does not give up easily. We are cruising Graham Lake in the Northwest Territories, desperately seeking moose. Our small group includes Kay from Australia who, no surprise, has only heard stories of the largest species of the deer family that may weigh more than 300 kilograms and top two metres in height. She wants to see one. In a small boat, under a bright blue sky, we motor into serene bays, constantly scanning the shoreline for signs of wildlife. Gin is our host at Yellow Dog Lodge, a fly-in fishing lodge about 55 kilometres northeast of Yellowknife. He assures us that bear, wolves, lynx, wolverine, porcupines and yes, moose,

live in the Arctic taiga around us. But today they’re hiding. As much as we would love to see a postcard-perfect Canadian moose, we three visitors are pretty happy with our stay. We left Yellowknife via floatplane to land at Yellow Dog Lodge and sure enough, before the engines had stopped on the Air Tindi Cessna 208, Casey, a large, friendly Labrador retriever, had wagged his way down the wharf. (I noticed that Casey, the perfect host, said goodbyes to the group leaving before turning his full attention to us.) Everything about Yellow Dog Lodge was welcoming: the lack of formalities, the cabins, the lakes and the fact that you couldn’t see another sign of civilization.

Casey, the friendly and welcoming Labrador retriever, sits before the lodge named for him. JUDI LEES/MERIDIAN WRITERS’ GROUP

B.C. to restrict ferry rate increases Tom Fletcher Black Press BC Ferries fare increases will be limited to 4.15 per cent on all routes for 2012-13, according to legislation introduced Tuesday by the B.C. government. A preliminary ruling by the B.C. Ferry Commissioner this spring indicated fares could rise by more than eight per cent on smaller and northern ferry routes

next spring. The legislation caps increases on all routes to the limit that was set for major routes serving Vancouver Island and the Sunshine Coast. Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom said the rate cap gives the new B.C. Ferry Commissioner time to complete a review of the Coastal Ferry Act before he makes a final decision on rate caps for the next four years. Gord Macatee, the long-time

civil servant who took over as B.C. Ferry Commissioner this year, expects to complete his review and make recommendations to the government by early 2012. The review will not affect the next increase, which takes effect June 1. A fuel surcharge of 2.5 per cent is being added on the three major routes serving Vancouver Island, and the rest of the routes will see a five per cent fuel surcharge.

Travelling the Northwest Territories NWT from p20 Gord and Kathy Gin took over the lodge in 2006. In the 1970s it had been owned by Duncan Pryde, a fur trader, member of the territorial legislature and author of Nunaga, My Land, My Country, a story about life with the Inuit. Pryde was one of those largerthan-life northerners. There are plenty of tales about him; Gord related a few one morning as we hiked. Accompanied by Casey we did a loop, starting uphill on crunchy

moss, through stands of spruce, past juniper and wild cranberry bushes. We stopped on rocky ledges and looked down at the lodge and the lakes. Later we trolled for trout on Duncan Lake. In less than 10 minutes, two of us caught silvery, oneto-two-kilogram fish. Then Gord did what is apparently mandatory on a fishing trip: he brought out the beer and we bobbed in the boat, pondering such important questions as would the Mackenzie Valley Pipeline ever be

built in this peaceful neck of the woods and why weren’t more fish biting? It was a great morning, rounded off by having those fish we did catch for lunch back at the lodge. As for our moose hunt, we were unsuccessful. But when we cruised up a marshy channel of the Nicholson River we did get to hop out and hike to a waterfall tumbling from yet another peaceful lake. Two things to note about a trip to the Northwest Territories: this is the place to go

HST‛s single tax system reduces costs for B.C. businesses. That helps strengthen the economy, create jobs, and makes us more competitive internationally.

Consumers have to pay the HST on the end product. But since businesses no longer pay embedded taxes during the manufacturing process, their savings can be passed onto the consumer.

Texture the star at gallery showing Andrea Rendall The Progress Fibre, earth and fire come together in a breath-taking display of visual arts at the Chilliwack Art Gallery in the Cultural Centre now through June 23. Twelve Lower Mainland artists from Hope to Vancouver Island were handpicked by Chilliwack Visual Artists Association members – and contributing artists Judy Hurley and Holly McKeen, to participate in the exploration of the textural topic of art. The Visual Arts Association is a nonprofit organization that functions separately from the Arts Council, and is run on a volunteer-basis. “Although we enjoy working with the Arts Council,” says art gallery co-ordinator Marilyn Goodrich and Visual Arts Association member, the association

offers other opportunities. The exhibition is aptly named Fibre, Earth and Fire because the elements used to create the displays are a variety of fabric and clay pieces. “’Fibre’ because fibres are in the fabric. And the clay, well that’s the ‘earth and fire.’ So we put our little noggins together and came up with that catchy phrase,” laughs Hurley. The fibre artists were chosen because of their unique (pardon the pun) “spin” on creating displays of scenery and imagery on fabric tapestries. “So each [artist] brought their particular expertise..., so the fibre show has such a variety. There’s quilting and batik and embroidery and appliqué and felting, weaving. There’s a bit of everything,” says Hurley. The potters were chosen for their creations that mimic a texturized surface, including such styles as horse hair raku

textural component; the layout almost seems to link the pieces together, to create a smooth visual transition from the hard, solid pieces to the soft and flowing ones. The artists have been working hard for months to put the show together, and encourage the community to come out Saturday, May 28 for the Artists’ Reception. The artists will be available for a meet and greet, as well as discussion about the techniques used in their art. “I expect it’s going to be one of the bigger openings this year,” says McKeen. All items displayed are available for sale, and buyers can purchase their treasures from a gallery-sitter from the Visual Arts Association at the front desk of the Cultural Centre, to be taken home after the show.

and crystalline glazed porcelain. “We worked really hard to get a variety of clay artists... the potters we have in the show have textural themes that complement the texture and fibre artwork,” says McKeen, “I’m excited!” McKeen has been creating pottery pieces since the 1970s and 10 years ago she was given the opportunity to create her artwork full-time. She has owned and operated Greendale Pottery for the last six years. “The ceramics all have very distinctive styles, all individually hand-made, no copies, they’re all original creations of the artist,” adds Hurley. As guests walk through the gallery, they’ll note the presentations have been designed to blend the clay and fabric pieces together. As their eyes travel from the clay pieces displayed on tablelike pillars and up to the wall behind, the fabric and pottery will have a similar

Industry becomes Social starring Trick Trick and D12 Andrea Rendall

the word about the new club, and although the grand opening isn’t set until sometime in June, Christopher has big plans. “It’s gonna be pretty sick but I don’t wanna let the bunny out of the hat just yet,” he says. Christopher’s magic hat must contain one big bunny, because tonight (May 27) Social will host a concert featuring Detroit rap artists Trick Trick and D12, with tickets at only $10 a pop. D12 came through Chilliwack last year on a tour with Xzibit. “It was pretty cool, we’re looking forward to coming back,” says D12 member Bizarre.

A former night club in Chilliwack is reopening its doors with a new look and a new name. Industry Night Club has reopened its doors as Social Night Club, under new management and tons of renovations. New owner Cody Christopher was born and raised in Chilliwack, and at only 27 years old, he hopes to have “a good long run” with the new club located at 45680 Hocking Ave. Social softly opened its doors on Friday, May 13 to spread

area is completely redone, another dance floor has been added while refinishing the old one, tons of brand-new stereo equipment, new bathrooms and 11 plasma TV screens, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg as far as the renovations go. Doors will open at 8 p.m. and the show will start at 9 p.m. Christopher says he is expecting tickets to sell out. And once again that magic hat has another surprise, as a variety of special surprise performances will happen after the show. “It’s going to be lots of fun,” he says.

The special off-tour concert at Social will be the first show in Canada since the start of the North American Dirty Nation Tour in April. “A lot of energy, a lot of fun, coming to have a good time. We’re definitely going to party,” says Bizarre about the tour. Tickets can be purchased at the door or at Christopher’s clothing store, Fuel Clothing, located in the Chilliwack Mall. Christopher has done a total revamp of the old club and has put in “a whole helluva lot” more modern lighting, club lighting, and slate countertops. The VIP

Before becoming a parent, quantifying the negative aspects of having children is relatively easy. Children are a financial expense, they take away a lot of your freedom, they break things, they make a mess in the house, and they require a lot of energy and attention. It is not until you become a parent that you experience, and can appreciate the how much having a family enriches your life. Fitness and healthy living is much the same. Before getting in shape, it is easy to understand the work it takes to exercise and follow a healthy eating plan. It means that you might have to get up a little earlier each day to fit in your workout. It means that you have to pack your own lunch and always carry an emergency snack with you- because you know that the foods you can make are better for you than what you can

buy at a restaurant. And if you do go out to eat, healthy living means you have to plan what you will have before getting there- and it also means you will be skipping the bread basket. It means you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have dessert whenTanja ever you SHAW feel like it, and that sometimes you have to fight to resist cravings. It means that you have to workout to the point that you are sweating, and your heart rate goes up- and that can be uncomfortable. Only once you commit to leading a healthy lifestyle can you experience the delights that your hard work brings. Not being able to fit into your clothes- because they are now a few sizes too big. Finishing your first

5 kilometer run. The feeling of accomplishment when you can hike up a mountain and enjoy the view- when last year stairs were a struggle. The incredible amount of energy you have throughout the day. The friends you meet while training for an event, or attending a fitness class. Looking at yourself in the mirror and thinking â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;wow, I look goodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Sometimes itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to imagine that the hard work is worth it. But, once you experience the positive changes healthy living brings, you will not be able to imagine life any other way and would not change it for the world. Sounds a bit like having children...

Perspectives

Faith plays important role in a healthy community According to a paper on “Spirituality in Mentally Healthy Communities”, 2008 was a year marking a reversal of the trend towards lower church attendance in Canada. Yes, I know, there is a difference between the concepts “religion” and “spirituality”. Spirituality is often thought of as one’s framework for meaning and connection to something “sacred”; in Alcoholics Anonymous they

say “a power greater than ourselves.” Religion is considered an institutionalized form of spirituality. Both religion and spirituality play a role in Rob positive menLEES tal health. The aforementioned paper

reviews three areas in which spirituality plays a significant role in mental health; depression, chronic illness (like cancer) and mortality. The evidence seems clear that people with a faith or strong spirituality often do better in terms of depression. More often they face chronic or life threatening illness differently. They tend to cope better when facing death too. The sci-

ence generally indicates that people with “faith” fare better in these life challenges but it isn’t clear why. Some think that spirituality leads to religion and religion leads to social support. There is clear scientific evidence that social support plays a significant role in mental and physical health. It seems logical to speculate that there are certain spiritual or religious beliefs that contribute to improved

mental health. Themes like forgiveness, acceptance, believing that our lives matter, love, giving and sharing with others are all hallmarks of positive mental health and great religion. They are also qualities that build communities with reduced conflict. Believing that we are part of something bigger than ourselves is an antidote to loneliness and purposelessness. On the other hand, we

know that there are times when religion can be used as a means of social control, dominance of one group over others, the inflicting of false guilt, petty rules, fear, paranoia, rigidity of thought and critical judgment that divides rather than unites. We have spectacular failures of religion, such as David Koresh and the Camp Davidians at Waco Texas, or the Jonestown Continued: SPIRITUALITY/ p31

Spirituality and mental health SPIRITUALITY from p29 mass suicide in Guyana. More moderate forms of these mentally unhealthy forms of religion and spirituality can be an excuse to throw out the baby out with the bathwater and not embrace the hugely important role of spirituality. Healthy forms of religion play an often unrecognized role as undergirders of mental and physical health. Pastors frequently play the role of front line counselors, marriage and family therapists. In my own case as a pastor once, I was doing so much counseling I realized the wise thing to do would be to pursue further study, to become a psychologist. The support of prayer and small groups from churches gathering around members in crisis figure significantly in stress reduction. As western society became secular, it seemed that religion and faith might become passé. Science would replace spirit. Instead, science is just beginning to demonstrate the overall benefit of religion and well tested spiritual beliefs. They must be part of any plan to build mentally healthy communities.

Smyl returns to lead resurrected Chiefs Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Harvey Smyl knows he’s got a gigantic task ahead of him, but he’s happy to be back in Chilliwack running the Chiefs. The sale and relocation of the Quesnel Millionaires was announced on Tuesday, along with the news that Smyl will be running Chilliwack’s hockey operations. The revered hockey icon is back on the scene of his greatest triumphs, ready to recapture the glory of years past. In the process, he hopes to help local fans put the Bruins bitterness behind them and, in a sense, hit the reset button on the last five years. “At the time there was a feeling of, I can’t say disappointment, but maybe emotionally a little bit hurt because they (the Chiefs) were so connected in the community and it was home,” Smyl recalled of the Chiefs leaving and the Bruins coming to Chilliwack in the fall of 2006. “But I had an inclination that there was a new building going up in Langley and I thought we could transfer our history and our team there. And Chilliwack, with the building they had, they were going to get a good thing. So I was a little bit disappointed at the time, but I understood the benefits for everybody at that point.” Smyl did his thing in Langley from 2006-07 to this past season, watching the Bruins situation implode from a distance. He knew the team wasn’t winning and he knew attendance was sliding. “I was still surprised (when Chilliwack relocated to Victoria) because I really thought, other than the fact they didn’t really have a winning season, I thought major junior could work in this community and be a real good thing here,” he said. “Why or how it didn’t work, I don’t know.” Smyl did alright in Langley.

Not quite to the standards he achieved during the Chilliwack heydays, but his Langley teams placed fifth, second, second, fourth and third in the Coastal conference, not once finishing below .500. Langley’s deepest playoff run came in 2007-08, a sixgame conference final loss to the Nanaimo Clippers. “I really enjoyed Langley. I thought the people who were associated with our hockey club were top notch and I thought we were headed in the right direction,” Smyl noted. “I had no desire to leave Langley, other than the commute. And really that wasn’t a major problem for me as a coach because you get a lot of time to think and go through things after games and before games. I think Langley’s got a lot of good things going and I really hope it works there because it’s a fantastic location.” Still, Chilliwack’s home. “I know lots of people in this community, how hockey-minded it is and how much they want a winner,” Smyl said. “I certainly think there’s going to be some hiccups (with lingering bitterness over the Bruins) that we’re going to have to overcome and we’re really going to have to work hard to get people to come out. It’s not a slam dunk and we’ll have to do a lot of good things in this community. But I know there’s a direction from ownership to be a part of this community and something this community can be proud of and attach themselves to.” Smyl’s responsibilities in Langley were many and varied. Not only did he take care of hockey operations, but he was also heavily involved on the business side. In Chilliwack, he will be able to devote more focus to the on-ice product, with someone else being hired to take care of marketing and the bottom line. “Even when I was in Chilliwack I was very much involved on the advertising and business side of it, which

I did enjoy and do enjoy,” he said. “I plan on still having input. But not on a daily basis where I have to come home and think about how to market the next event. There will be professional people who know it and do it and make it work for us. I’m pleased about that.”

The hockey side will present more than enough challenges to keep him busy. First off, year one will be spent in the Interior conference facing the likes of the Vernon Vipers, Penticton Vees and Salmon Arm Silverbacks. The road trips will be long

and the competition will be tough. “That (road trips) is not an issue for me. Travel is something every team has to do. Those kids are used to it and it’s expected,” he said. “I know we’ve built up some pretty good rivalries with the Lower Mainland

teams. There’s a lot of, hate’s a strong word, but anger when we play and that makes for good hockey. So I am disappointed to be in the Interior conference. But it’s best for the league right now, and we need to do that and get back into those rivalries the year after.” The Mills roster being transplanted to Chilliwack rolled up an unimpressive 13-38-3-6 record last year, finishing seventh in the eight team Interior conference. They bowed out of the playoffs in four quick games, losing to the Penticton Vees. “We’re into it hard on the recruiting end of it right now,” Smyl said Wednesday morning. “We’re actively, actively trying to build our team to be competitive. There were a lot of kids through the past year who skated with us that we were grooming to be Langley players. When everything turned we had to back off and we really didn’t know if this was going to go or not. We didn’t recruit and told them to do what was best for them and their families. So we lost a lot of very, very good kids. At the same time, we do have a roster coming back. Quesnel liked their personnel. They added some pieces late in the year and some good young kids so there’s something to start with.” Still, for one year at least Smyl is going to be preaching patience. It’ll be a process and there will be some trying times. But the one thing I’ve learned through the years that I’ve done this is that you can be a fairly successful team with work ethic,” he said. “I think if you have guys buying into the system, working their butts off game in and game out and doing whatever’s best for the team you can be successful. That’s our mandate. It’ll be a hard working and aggressive type of team. We’ll not sit back, we’ll try and create stuff. Finishing checks, driving the net and winning puck battles. That’s the style we want to play but there will be ups and downs.”

Willing winner in Kamloops Tasha Willing set two meet records last weekend, competing at the Centennial Track and Field event in Kamloops. The 13-year-old Chilliwack Track and Field Club athlete placed first in the discus with a mighty toss of 30.65 metres, shattering the previous meet mark of 27.09m, set in 2003. Her performance elevated her to sixth spot on the B.C. top 10 ranking in her age group. She continued to blow away the field in the shot put with a toss of 10.01m. That blasted away the previous meet mark of 9.43m, also set in 2003. Willing earned another first place finish in javelin, hurling the spear 24.07m. While Willing was dom-

inating in Kamloops, her CTFC teammates were rolling in Surrey. The Junior Olympics Meet was held at Bear Creek Park, with Andrew Kirk turning in a quadruple-gold performance. The 12-year-old won the 100, 200 and 300m dashes with times of 13.06s, 27.19s and 42.93s. His mark of 4.67m earned him top spot in the long jump. Sienna Lenz turned in a strong showing in the 11-year-old girls division, scoring double gold in the long jump (3.50m) and shot put (8.06m). She added a third place finish in high jump, soaring 1.10m into the air. Marin Lenz competed in the nine-year-old girls division, taking silver

medals from the 600m run (2:09.57) and shot put (4.65m). She added bronze in the 60m dash with a blistering time of 10.09s. Rowan Hamilton competed in the 11-year-old boys division, finishing second in the high jump (1.15m) and shot put (8.01m). Zach Muir competed in the 10-year-old boys division, earning silver in the 1000m run with a time of 3:43.98. Afton Ser vatius (13-year-old girls) placed third in the 200m dash with a time of 29.29s, adding another third in the 100m dash with a time of 13.98s.

The University of the Fraser Valley men’s basketball program is launching an annual CIS-sanctioned pre-

season tourney. The Honda Way/ UFV Cascades Men’s Basketball Tournament debuts this fall, Oct. 28-29. The inaugural event features the host Cascades, the University of Guelph Gryphons, the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack of Kamloops, and the Northwest University Eagles from Kirkland, Wash. “It’s going to be a very good quality of basketball early in the year,” Cascades head coach Barnaby Craddock pointed out. “It’s exciting to get the tradition

UFV women win big The Cascade basketball women went 3-0 in exhibition play during a two-week trip to Antigua. Last Thursday the UFV squad defeated the Antigua Vipers 81-37. Alyssa Gaukel led the way with 21 points, while Sarah Wierks racked up 16 points and 10 rebounds. The Cascades followed up with a 70-44 win over Antiguan AS on Tuesday. Tessa Klassen paced the UFV squad with 27 points and three steals, while Wierks notched her second straight double-double with 15 points and 10 boards. The UFV women wrapped up the trip with a 60-32 victory over the Antigua Selects. Klassen and Courtney Bartel tied for team-

high scoring honours with 12 points apiece. The Cascades’ trip to the Caribbean island is in conjunction with UFV kinesiology instructor Joanna Sheppard’s course, “Champions for Health Promoting Schools.” UFV students work side-by-side with local educators to promote health education in innovative ways. “The Antigua basketball federation and the people of Antigua have been tremendous hosts,” Cascades coach Al Tuchscherer said via email. “The trip has been an unbelievable experience for our team; the people have completely embraced us, the island has so much history and beauty, and the basketball experience was something our team will never forget.”

astroadvice ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, frustration sets in and it is easy to get pushed to your limit. A close friend can put you in better spirits in a matter of minutes. Connect with this person. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you will be in a social mood this week and that means that a party or some other event is certain to be in your future. Open up the event to many for extra fun. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, making hard decisions about your personal life is not easy. However, it has to be done this week if you are to move on to something else that needs

attention. CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, unless you can censor yourself, it’s best to avoid social situations this week. There are too many chances for you to say something that can get you into trouble. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 A new hobby can occupy your time, Leo. Now you just have to find something that you will enjoy. Perhaps an outdoor activity that will be perfect for the warm weather. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 It could be time to make another move, Virgo. The current situation is just

PUZZLE NO. 270

not working out as you would like. Recognize when it is time to move on. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Familial obligations can put a damper on social situations, Libra. But it’s not often that family call on you for some support. Clear your calendar later in the week. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 This is the week to break out of your shell, Scorpio. Try something adventurous and completely out of your comfort zone. You might just enjoy the results. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Schedule a vacation or time away from someone, Sagittarius. The absence will let you better understand the dynamic of the relationship, so it can blossom. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, though the sentiment may seem trite, stop and smell the roses. Rushing to and fro is not the way to get things done this week. It is time to slow down. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, it’s been a challenge balancing everything, but this week you will finally fall into a groove. Your spouse or a close friend will be instrumental to your success. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, creative thinking can present clever ways to handle mundane tasks or special things that need attention.

WENHAM Mary Jane

Beloved daughter of Andrew and Marilyn Murtagh of Rabbit Bay, Michigan; treasured sister of Aundrea & Ron Holmes, & precious aunt to Chelsea & Jordan Holmes, all of Chilliwack, BC, succumbed, on Wednesday, May 11, 2011, at Cascade Hospice, Chilliwack after a most brave 18 year struggle with cancer. Our lives were blessed when Mary Jane burst upon the unsuspecting world on March 13, 1959. For the next 52 years, anyone who was graced by her presence was sure they had been touched by an angel. There are not enough superlatives to describe the fun & joy she created, the beauty of her artistic talents, the kindness & generosity she bestowed on any & every person she encountered. We learned, on Friday, May 13, that she had already been cremated. In view of this, her family organized a Celebration of Her Life at the Holmes residence on Saturday, May 14. We tried to notify as many of her friends as we could, and we extend our apologies to any we might have missed. Mary Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Celebration was led by her dear friend Reverend Carlton Toews of Cultus Lake. There can be little doubt that her Spirit was present to share in & approve of the love, joy, & happiness that was among the large gathering. In particular, our family would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to Reverend Toews and all the Staff at Cascade Hospice, who outdid themselves in making Mary Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s last days as pleasant as possible under the most unique and trying circumstances. They are all very special people and Mary Jane told us, with the utmost of happiness, how safe and comfortable she was in their care. We are sure that she would be pleased if anyone wished to make a charitable gift to the Hospice in her name.
