Talking taxes: Council hopefuls weigh in

■ F ALL R IDE

Katie Bartel The Progress

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Most candidates vying for a seat on council advocated ongoing fiscal restraint as the best way to keep taxes low in Chilliwack. Chilliwack’s tax increase has been pegged at 3.95 per cent for the past two years, which is lower than both Abbotsford’s and Langley’s, with 5 per cent and 4.95 per cent increases respectively, according to city officials. Municipal candidates were asked this week [more-online by The Progress: www.theprogress.com “Chilliwack prides itself on a relatively low residential tax rate, and one of the lowest business tax multipliers in the Lower Mainland. What would you do to maintain that standard while continuing to deliver critical services residents have come to expect?” Some candidates went so far as to say they’d support “a zero tax increase,” while others argued a frugal financial approach is already responsible for low tax rates compared to other communities. One stressed that job creation was the best way to generate more tax revenue from both businesses and residents, while another said municipalities should be given the ability to diversify revenue sources instead of relying on taxes tied to property values. The debt-free approach the city has taken with its “pay as you go” philosophy for civic projects does help keep Chilliwack’s taxes low, according to several candidates. Continued: TAXES/ p8

Candidates debate role of social media in education

Social media within Chilliwack school district is still a fairly new initiative. Despite technology integration listed as one of the four pillars in the school district’s strategic plan, the social media aspect of technology has been slower going compared to other school districts like West Vancouver where every principal has been mandated to operate a school blog, and where the superintendent is a regular on Twitter. In Chilliwack, the school district’s administration really only started utilizing social media sites in September. School trustee candidates were asked by The Progress how the school district could better use social media to enhance communication with parents and the greater school community. (Complete responses from all the candidates who replied to our question can be found on The Progress website at www.theprogress.com.) Darlene Wahlstrom said that while the district is on the right path with social media, more could still be done. “I would advocate for the use of social media as a tool that could be used in disaster planning and in emergencies where mass mobilization of children becomes necessary,” Wahlstrom said. She added that it could be a vital tool for connecting the district with police, fire and the hospital “where we need to account for the whereabouts of our children.” Continued: SCHOOL/ p9

Accused killer tells court he’ll plead guilty Robert Freeman The Progress Michael Wayne McGray, charged with the first-degree murder of a prison cellmate, says he will plead guilty — if he doesn’t have to leave the Quebec prison where he is being held in a special handling unit (SHU). In a video appearance in Chilliwack Monday, McGray said he would enter a guilty

plea to the murder charge – or to a lesser charge if the court won’t allow a video plea on the murder charge – to avoid “the whole circus” of a trial in B.C. “If I can deal with that (murder charge) from here ... I’m prepared to deal with that charge right now in the SHU,” he said. “I’m not going to get out of prison,” McGray said. This is his seventh firstdegree murder charge, he

added, and, “I’m well aware of the legalities of what I’m doing.” “It’s not like I’m not of sound mind or anything,” he said. McGray told the court he was refused a legal aid lawyer, and that he preferred to represent himself, if the case does go to trial. “I’m asking to represent myself, that’s what I’m asking today,” he said. However, it’s unlikely the

court would allow McGray to enter a guilty plea — whether by video or in person — without legal counsel, and a lawyer may be appointed by the court. Crown counsel Grant Lindsey said he will ask duty counsel in Chilliwack to be present to advise McGray at the next court hearing. Asked if he was prepared to make another video appearance on Nov. 28, McGray

■ W INDOW O N N ATURE

replied, “absolutely. I want to get this done with.” McGray, 45, was charged last May with the first-degree murder of 33-year-old Jeremy Michael Phillips, who was found dead in his cell at Mountain Institution on Nov. 23, 2010. Prison officials have refused to disclose why McGray, a serial killer from Moncton, New Brunswick with six murder convictions, was transferred

from Kent maximum-security prison to the medium-security Mountain Institution. Phillips reportedly asked prison officials to move him out of the cell he shared with McGray because of concerns for his safety. Phillips was halfway through a six-year sentence for aggravated assault when he died. He was also from the same Moncton area as McGray.

Report spanks cities for overspending Chilliwack cited among the most frugal Jeff Nagel Black Press No Lower Mainland cities have come even close to limiting their spending to a growth rate deemed sustainable by a small business lobby group. The Canadian Federation of Independent Business released an analysis Monday that found overall municipal operating spending in the province has soared at nearly four times the combined rate of population and inflation over the past decade. Mission – which the CFIB credits with one of the best cost-control records – still saw its spending grow at double that rate from 2000 to 2009 and almost every other city in the region increased its spending at least three times as fast. “Municipalities are spending more than ever and faster than ever,” said CFIB B.C. director Shachi Kurl. “Taxpayers can only bear so much. Things are on track to become unsustainable.” The Union of B.C. Municipalities has previously argued cities are struggling to pay more costs that are being downloaded onto them by senior government, and have little control over some escalating costs, such as policing. But the CFIB discounts that argument, noting cities are also receiving much more in grants and transfers from Ottawa and Victoria, while also raising much more revenue directly in local fees and charges.

Southside library design offers ‘full meal deal’ The Progress City is moving ahead with plans to build the Southside Library project next to Twin Rinks next year. A $2.5 million design-build proposal from lead proponent Titan Construction was approved by council last week. An overview was provided by city staff member Eric Dyck who was in attendance along with project proponents Titan, CHPA and FVRL reps. All of the requirements in the request for proposals were met, “so we’re getting the full meal deal with this design,” Dyck explained. Before the RFP was issued, the design team toured other satellite libraries in the Fraser Valley system and obtained feedback on important

considerations for a new facility, and included some of them as requirements. A computer generated tour of the library, as conceptualized in the design, was presented at city hall by Ryan Huston of Craven Huston Powers Architects. The new facility will measure 10,600 square feet, with multi-purpose community spaces which can be accessed after hours. “The whole community will be proud when the doors open on this library,” said Coun. Ken Huttema, who called the design presentation “very impressive.” Positive feedback emerged about the amount of natural light and the use of wood accents in the design. The plan also calls for a fireplace feature and 74 new parking spots.

Coun. Chuck Stam offered a word of thanks to the design-build team, saying he had grown concerned about what the city could expect for a $2.5 million library building project, given what $20 million bought in terms of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. “But I’m very very happy with what I’m seeing here,” Stam said. Coun. Pat Clark praised the range of functional spaces, as well as ones for relaxing, saying they helped add to the “wow” factor. The total cost of the new library facility and its contents including books is estimated at $3.6 million, according to city officials. The construction is slated to be completed by October 2012 with plans to open the new library in early 2013. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Five get the nod from firefighters The Progress Chilliwack Professional Firefighters Association are publicly endorsing five out of a total of 20 candidates running for council in the 2011 election. “The candidates we have selected are willing to work towards safety for the community and safety for firefighters,” said Keith Corbett, president of Local 2826. The five candidates include: Jason Lum, Ron Browne, Phill Bruce, Ken Popove and Stewart McLean.

Some of the candidates have added stickers to their signs that read: “Endorsed by Firefighters.” The union recently called on the city to rekindle its plan to hire additional firefighters to improve response times and rescue capability, and help meet the “four firefighter” rule. The hiring plan had to be scrapped for financial reasons, union officials said. According to provincial legislation, four firefighters must be on-scene before a burning building can be entered, and that has the potential to affect safety in cases when the rule can’t be met.

E T VO

Until four are on-scene, firefighters must wait outside structure for back-up to arrive, sometimes letting precious minutes pass. Firefighters’ Association members drafted questions and sent them to all candidates recently, as well as attending all-candidates’ meetings and other election events to decide on endorsements. Educating candidates about firefighter safety issues has been a top priority for the group during the election campaign, and the knowledge gained during in that process led to the selection of the five candidates.

In the Nov. 10 Chilliwack Progress article “Candidates debate moving city hall downtown” a comment attributed to candidate Ron Browne was incorrect. He said he supported an “eventual” reestablishment of city hall downtown, but not in the next five years, and provided efforts were made to avoid any impact on taxes. The Progress regrets any confusion.

R AESIDE

Remembering them I confess I had serious thoughts of missing the Remembrance Day service at Vedder Crossing Friday morning. The rain was falling with a malevolence that made my warm cup of coffee and comfortable couch all the more inviting. But as the rain pelted down I thought of a story my grandfather had told me. He had landed at Normandy sometime after D-Day and was making his Greg way up past Caen KNILL in France. At some point his unit dug in for the night and my grandfather settled into his slit trench to get some sleep. Sometime during the night the clouds opened up and it started to rain. When my grandfather awoke he was half submerged in icy cold water. Floating all around him were the blue airmail letters they gave soldiers to write home. He laughed as he described his confusion – cold and wet, in an icy blue bath.

The Chilliwack

My grandfather didn’t talk much about the war, only to say that he would not want to go through it again. So I never learned more about the shrapnel still in his hand, or the Nazi SS helmet he brought home. He died while I was still too young to press for more answers. But every Remembrance Day I think of him, and the hardships he and millions more like him endured to end a cruel and vicious regime. He may have laughed about a wet foxhole, but I know there were more than storm clouds darkening his memories of the conflict. The rain fell hard Friday morning. And if my grandfather was watching, he likely would have thought us all crazy. But I’m glad I joined the hundreds of men, women and children who turned out Friday morning to honour those who have given – and continue to give – so much. We were all cold, and we were wet. But the warmth of our homes was only a short drive away, not across an ocean in a place that many of us might never see again.

Assessing the impact of the Keystone decision That decision by the U.S. State Department to pick another route for the controversial Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to Texas might have enormous repercussions in British Columbia. The whole issue centered around the environmental impact of the pipeline across fragile land on its way to Texas. But the decision to delay until at least 2013 can’t help but been seen as a political one. No doubt President Barack Obama is more than relieved to see that great big elephant moved out of the room, far enough away to put it behind the 2012 U.S. election. TransCanada Corp based in Calgary has been pushing to build the $7-billion pipeline for the past three years to carry Alberta oilsands bitumen from Hardisty to the Texas coastline. The proponents argued there are lots of incentives for the go-ahead, none

the least of which would be thousands of jobs and oil from a friendly, trouble-free neighbour. Then there are all those millions of dollars flowing back to the oil patch. TCC executives must have been pretty grim-faced last Thursday when the decision to delay came down. The 2,673-kilometre long pipeline, which would Margaret carr y 830,000 EVANS barrels of crude oil per day from northern Alberta, would enter Saskatchewan then go south into Montana, South Dakota and Nebraska where it would link with an existing Keystone pipeline. It would then continue into Oklahoma and on into Texas. The problem is, the proposed route

goes through some sensitive and critical regions best left undisturbed. The pipeline would be laid underground but one of the biggest concerns is that it will cross through the ecologically sensitive Sandhills of Nebraska as well as the Ogallala aquifer, a massive underground lake almost as big as Nebraska supplying drinking water to about 1.5 million people in eight states. The pipeline would run through rich farm and ranch land in six states and cross numerous rivers and aquifers. The vision of an oil leak anywhere along the route has drawn the wrath of so many, not to mention the staggering carbon footprint the project leaves behind. The opponents aren’t your typical tree-huggers. They include Nebraska’s governor and others in that state’s legislature worried

about the impact on their agricultural economy. Joining them are U.S. Vice President Al Gore, land owners, farmers, ranchers, folks on the Hollywood A list and Canadian activists. The economics of the pipeline for Canada and the United States are huge. The construction could employ some 13,000 workers; another 7,000 will find jobs in pipeline manufacture, and the project could generate some 118,000 in secondary jobs. These are employment numbers not to be sniffed at. PM Harper and Finance Minister Jim Flaherty were not impressed. Harper’s been pushing hard on this project. He considers its endorsement a no-brainer. But the delay may now open up other issues much closer to home. Canada could look to sell its oil elsewhere. Asia heads the list which means that Alberta oil-

sands crude could be pipelined 1,177 kilometres underground to Kitimat. That Northern Gateway project might just be bumped to the head of the line. That means jobs, a boosted economy – and a made-in-Canada environmental conflict on the pros and cons of 525,000 barrels of diluted bitumen a day flowing through B.C. while, along a parallel pipeline, 193,000 barrels of condensate flow back to Alberta to dilute the next batch of oil. Then there’s the testy issue of the movement of supertankers, the what-if’s of an oilspill and a seismic seabed. And according to Environment and Sustainable Development Commissioner Scott Vaughan, the feds aren’t ready to respond to a major oil spill in Canada. No doubt Keystone conflicts will keep flowing for some time yet.

Readers Write Students bring meaning to Remembrance Day I would like to acknowledge and say well done to the staff and students at F.G. Leary Elementary School. Their Remembrance Day assembly was one that I will not soon forget. Students used a wide variety of medium to present what Remembrance Day means to them and how the sacrifices others make for us continue to keep us safe and free. The respect level shown by the students was outstanding and their presentations brought me to tears. As well, to see each male staff member in shirt and tie demonstrating their respect level was outstanding. Sharlene Armstrong Parent

Progress Early start to service not welcome I live across from the cenotaph in Vedder Crossing and I am appalled by the fact that they held the ceremonies well in advance of the appointed time. Currently it is 10:56 and they are lay wreaths having had the “Last Post” at approximately 10:42. This meant that so many people missed the ceremony due to someone who could not tell the time and had no respect for the tradition of Remembrance Day. They all should be ashamed and apologize for their inconsiderate actions. Greg Poirier

Reporter’s comment goes too far While reading my letter to the editor (a bit of ego stroking) in Thursday’s paper I couldn’t help but notice the Reporter’s Notebook piece by Katie Bartel on the facing page. I was shocked. As an old editor, I was schooled in the principle that a newspaper reporter would report the news without bias while the editorial writers would write the editorials and opinion pieces.

The ‘opinion’ piece by Ms Bartel, who regularly reports on school board meetings, is a blatant and personal attack on four elected trustees. Her criticism comes across as an attempt at reader (voter) manipulation especially when it appears just before the election. Ms Bartel is entitled to her opinions, but when she launches an attack on four trustees, going so far as to criticizing their

mannerisms, then she loses all credibility as a reporter and her integrity on school board matters is called into question. Ms Bartel has chosen a dangerous path if she wishes to remain a reporter. She has shot herself in the foot when it comes to unbiased reporting on school board matters. It is, in my opinion, irresponsible journalism. Andy Fraser

Column offers important insight for voters Thank you so much for your Reporter’s Notebook column in Thursday’s Progress. It should be required reading for ever y voter. I am a concerned citizen of Chilliwack, a

senior with one grandson in the school system and a supporter of no political party or candidate. I am however a 20-year resident of Chilliwack and someone who attends all candidate meetings

and votes in ever y election. The School Trustees sitting now desperately need some educated, thoughtful and capable replacements. Happily, several of the new candidates for

Tough decisions are a part of growing up was very sick. We had to feed her, and we had to carry her outside to go to the bathroom. We knew she wasn’t being herself so we took her in to the vet. We had two decisions, one was to pay lots of money and her still be in pain, or put her down so she wouldn’t be in pain. We chose to put her

down because we didn’t want her to be in pain anymore. I’ve learned from this that although the decisions we make in life can sometimes be hard, when we followed our hearts we knew it was a good decision. Macenna Guthrie

Jack Bass said social media gives the school district an opportunity to reach more in the community by holding “live” board meetings where parents could view them and interact from the comfort of their homes. Walt Krahn said that while the opportunities with social media are vast, the district must ensure students are “well trained in how to effectively use Facebook, Twitter and texting to support their learning.” David Russell said it’s not just students who need training. “Technology has made it possible for us to send out information to anyone at the click of a button and at almost zero cost, but that is all meaningless if there is no one committed to creating a message to send out,” said Russell, who would propose designating one trustee as the social media liaison for the district.

Funding for a safety upgrade at the Ford Road railway crossing in Rosedale was announced by Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl Thursday. The $75,280 will be used to install a “constant warning time device” which senses an approaching train, measures its speed and distance from the crossing, and then activates warning equipment. “Canada continues to have one of the safest railway systems in the world,” Strahl said in a news release announcing the funding. “The enhancements we are announcing today to local rail crossings across Canada will save lives,” he said. Almost $14 million in new funding is being added this year to the federal Grade Crossing Improvement Program, which supports safety upgrades at railway crossings.

Abbotsford Mayor George Peary shot back at critics of the city’s plan to try and leave the Fraser Valley Regional District. FVRD chair Patricia Ross issued a press release critical of the move, and inviting Abbotsford council to meet with her board “to explore the city’s concerns about membership in the region.” “I wonder which side of the table she’ll be sitting on,” Peary said of Ross, who is also an Abbotsford city councillor. He said Ross receives a $29,000 per year stipend from the FVRD, plus expenses. This is in addition to the $34,700 base pay from the city. He said she is “hardly a disinterested spectator.” Peary also responded to media reports quoting the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development saying there is no legislative provision to remove a municipality from a regional district, and that Abbotsford cannot become its own regional district. Peary said the city has already consulted Abbotsford’s MLAs about the issue, and “they are prepared at least to consider our request. They haven’t rejected it out of hand.” The city also raised the issue of leaving the FVRD with minister Ida Chong directly, and she too has not dismissed the idea. “It requires a legislative amendment. That’s why we’re talking to the politicians and not the bureaucrats,” he said. “There are legislative precedents to allow this to happen.” On Nov. 7 council voted 8-1 to ask Victoria for permission to become a single-tier government. Ross was the lone dissenting voice. A city staff report said the city could save $759,000 per year by leaving the FVRD. “Our motive is what is the best value for our taxpayers,” said Peary. He added that governments, like the FVRD which was formed in 1995, take on a life of their own.

“They start adding staff, going out and looking for things to do.” Ross said the city should be careful what it wishes for, and the city could leave the FVRD only to have Victoria place it within the Metro Regional District. In that scenario, she said tax bills would

Man stabbed after littering remark A 43-year-old man walking his dog Friday evening in downtown Chilliwack was stabbed after he asked a group of young people to pick up their litter. “For a man to get stabbed over asking someone not to litter is unbelievable,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said.

She said police were called at about 10:45 p.m. about a man reportedly stabbed and lying on the sidewalk outside the Newmark Apartments at 46289 Yale Road. “The victim told police he was out walking his dog when he encountered a group of four people,” Hollingsworth

said. When he saw them throwing beverage cups on the ground near a garbage can, he asked them to pick up their litter and put it in the garbage. “They didn’t, so he did,” Hollingworth said. But then a verbal argument began, she said, and “the man

was allegedly peppersprayed and stabbed.” The victim is recovering now in Chilliwack General Hospital. Hollingsworth said the victim told police that the man who stabbed him was possibly a First Nations man in his early 20s, about 5’11” tall, with a scruffy moustache. “He was wearing a white, hooded jacket with black tribal designs on the arms, or possibly a black dragon design on the front,” she said. “He was with two caucasian men who were wearing black clothing,” she said. “He could not describe them further, but said one of them may have been on a bike.” The fourth member of the group was a female, also in her early 20s, about 5’5” tall, with a thin build and dirtyblond hair. Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information about it is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS.

City. Kurl said bigger cities have some advantages in spreading out their costs. And she credited Burnaby council – even though it’s left-leaning and labour friendly – with achieving one of the better scores. “They’re pretty hard core about defining what a core service is,” Kurl said, adding it shows fiscal discipline can be achieved regardless of the political stripe of the council at city hall. Had local city councils restrained spending to the growth of population and inflation in the last decade, the CFIB report said, a family of four would have saved $3,000 to $5,000 in most Lower Mainland cities and around $8,000 on the North Shore. It estimates B.C. residents overall would have saved more than $4 billion over the last decade had spending been held to the recommended level.

“We are by no means suggesting communities should sacrifice public safety,” Kurl said. “There are far more places for cities to look at trimming spending and holding the line than cutting policing.” She said the CFIB would like new councils elected Nov. 19 to try harder to contain the wage and benefit demands of unionized municipal workers. Municipal contracts are coming up for renewal and the previous bargaining round led to pre-Olympic deals that gave civic workers across much of Metro Vancouver wage hikes of at least 13 per cent over four years. According to the BC Municipal Spending Watch 2011 report, the biggest cities in the province spent on average $1,290 per person on operating costs in 2009. It does not include capital project spending. The large Lower Mainland cities that spent the most per capita were West Vancouver at $1,850 per person, New Westminster at $1,697, Vancouver at $1,586, North Vancouver City at $1,466 and Delta at $1,448. The most frugal Lower Mainland cities on a per capita basis were Surrey, which spends $856 per resident, Chilliwack at $939, followed by Maple Ridge, Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam, Mission, Abbotsford, Langley City and Burnaby in a range from $1,000 to $1,200. When adjusted for inflation, those per capita spending numbers increased by at least 25 per cent over the last decade in most Lower Mainland cities and by more than 50 per cent in Abbotsford, Langley Township and Chilliwack. The report also ranks cities on a combined measure of spending per capita and the growth in inflationadjusted spending from 2000 to 2009. Those rankings show Mission has performed best in keeping costs under control in the Lower Mainland, followed by Por t Coquitlam, Surrey, Burnaby and Langley

FVRD a good value, says Ross

FVRD from p11 “It would make sense for the city to bring its concerns into a constructive dialogue with the FVRD, rather than taking a confrontational approach,” Ross said. “The city has

also not been clear as to why it should be exempt from rules that apply to other members of a regional district.” Peary was adamant Abbotsford will not be part of Metro as long as he is mayor.

“That’s fearmongering. We have no intention of joining Metro,” he responded. “That’s not in the cards.” He said the FVRD provides “precious little in the way of services,” and those could be replaced.

“We can go shopping for arrangements that are more beneficial to our taxpayers.” He said following Saturday’s election, the new leadership at city hall will plan meetings with government officials in

Victoria in January. If reelected, he would arrange to meet with Chong and local MLAs to discuss the issue, and hopefully secure an answer by February. “Otherwise, we’ll continue to agitate for changes from within (the FVRD).”

Choosing the right winter tire Even then, the recommendation will depend on whether the car or truck is front-, rear-, or allwheel drive. People who do a lot of highway driving will be shown specific tires that might not display large and deep grooves; tires for that kind of driving are more likely to feature an intricate design crated to sip the water from the top layer of the ice on the road so that the tire can reach the drier part of that ice for the best traction possible.

More and more motorists are catching on that winter tires play an essential role during the cold season, when using the proper winter tire makes all the difference on icy or snowy roads as well as on cold pavement. Which winter tire is the best? It’s not as simple as recommending one specific brand or model. The best advice we can give to motorists who are puzzled by all those tires on the market is to go and see a local tire dealer who advertises many brands. The shop’s technicians will be able to tell you which tire is best suited to your car or truck and to your style of driving. For example, motorists living in very snowy areas will probably need winter tires with a much more aggressive tread design.

Storing summer tires in winter Whether by provincial law or by street smarts, serious motorists are turning to winter tires during the cold season. The best winter tires available on the market are designed not only for performance driving but also for safety. But what to do with summer tires during the cold season? There are many ways to store them. If you have a garage or basement, choose a dry and dark place where you can lay the tires flat or stack them on top of each other. If they are on rims, lay them down, inflated to their recommended pressure.

Some motorists might not be aware that their new cars are equipped with performance wheels and tires. Gone are the days of the good old “snow grips”. Today’s winter tires are so specialized that the best move is to get advice from an experienced tire technician.

Many motorists do not have the necessary space to store their summer tires. Leaving them under the porch is not a good idea! For these people, the best place to store them is at the local tire dealer’s. Nowadays, many tire dealers have facilities to keep customers’ winter tires in summer and summer tires in winter. Most of them have some way of identifying the tires, whether it is by writing the customer’s name on the tire tread or by stapling tags on the treads. Others have a digital method of identifying tires by their customers’ name.

Choosing the right winter tire might require the help of an expert.

When trusting your tires to a dealer, make sure he has the proper room to store them. Tires must be left in a dark and dry area with controlled humidity.

Have you checked your antifreeze? Though it might seem like automotive specialists repeat the same advice every fall, we do it because there are still too many motorists who neglect to properly prepare their vehicles for winter. Sure, most us of go to the dealership frequently when the car is new, but as it ages, we start to feel stingy about spending money on it. For the sake of road and personal safety, however, we all need to get our cars ready for the cold, no matter how old or new they are. One of the first ways to maintain a car or a truck is to verify the liquids before the cold season. It is easier than ever to verify those liquids, since just about every car or truck has easily identifiable caps under the hood. To accidentally pour the wrong liquid in an opening is now almost impossible. On the other hand, going quickly through the owner’s manual will guide any motorist in checking fluids. One of the most important is the antifreeze in the radiator. But before opening just any cap, make sure that the engine is cool and that you have read the warnings in the owner’s manual. Unless equipped with the proper tools to test the quality of the antifreeze, the only thing a motorist can do is to verify the level. If that sounds beyond your level of comfort, don’t hesitate to go see your local mechanic and have them show you how to go through the process. Make it fast, though, because winter is just around the corner!

Another factor affecting visibility is the sun: since it sets much earlier in winter, usually during the homeward drive, it can hit the windshield at an angle that obscures vision pretty badly. That means that even if the outside of the windshield is nicely cleaned, but the inside is dusty or streaked, the driver can be handicapped

by sun glare. A thorough cleaning of all windows, from the inside, is a good winter time preparation. Check at your hardware store or gas station for window cleaning products that will also eliminate fogging.

3-11T AB

Winter driving can be messy, especially when it rains, snows, or when the roads are slushy. A dirty car doesn’t stop most busy people from driving, but there are some risks to driving with dirty windows. Squirting some windshield washer onto the windscreen might help, but that’s only if the fluid has been topped up, and it doesn’t do much to clean side and rear windows. The kind of windshield washer fluid used also has a big influence on the visibility you end up with.

Fraser Health will offer vitamin D supplements to all 7,500 residents at the regionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s care homes in an effort to reduce the number and cost of bone fractures among the elderly. Although vitamin D is critical to healthy bones and muscles, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not standard in residential care facilities, where residents are less likely to get the nutrient through sunlight. The new protocol â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the first of its kind in Canada â&#x20AC;&#x201C; calls for most residents to get a 20,000 IU weekly dose unless they opt out or have conditions like renal failure. Fraser Health officials estimate the vitamins will cost the region less than $20,000 a year, while the cost of treating one broken hip ranges from $18,000 to $30,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know that seniors with fall-related injuries tend to stay in hospital twice as long as seniors hospitalized for all other reasons,â&#x20AC;? Fraser Health CEO Dr. Nigel Murray said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This protocol will help to decrease falls and keep seniors in their own homes.â&#x20AC;? Fabio Feldman, Fraserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager of seniors fall and injury prevention, estimated the vitamin D supplements can prevent 10 to 25 per cent of falls in care homes.

He said that could translate into 1,000 fewer falls per year in Fraser. The region was responding to research that shows high levels of vitamin D deficiency in older seniors in Canadian residential care homes. Vitamin D can help strengthen muscles, which is important in maintaining balance and mobility. Officials also cite other vitamin D benefits, such as a possible reduced risk of cardiovascular disease and some forms of cancer, along with potentially improved immune response and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Anne Chadwick, based in Mission. The non-profit FVBEF saves money each year to donate to OWL so that it may rehabilitate eagles. Preserving and protecting eagle populations in the Fraser Valley are considered an important part of the FVBEF mandate. Although eagle populations never declined as precipitously here as they did in the United States, Chadwick says eagle biologist David Hancock found just 30 nests on the Fraser River three decades ago. Today there are between 200 and 300. Chadwick says it’s a huge resurgence. “But, it can go the other way just as quickly. Because with more eagles there’s more need for food, and you know what’s been happening with our salmon.” The FVBEF is a twoday event that begins the weekend after the Nov. 16 release, which takes place at the Sandpiper Golf Resort in Harrison Mills. Daily jet boat eagle tours, interpreted walking tours and traditional First Nation’s salmon barbecue can be booked now. Visit www.fraservalleybaldeaglefestival.ca/ for full details.

The Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival (FVBEF) is set to release a rehabilitated eagle in Harrison Mills next Wednesday, three days before the festival goes into full swing. When bald eagles injure themselves they can only hope to end up in the care of Bev Day, founding director of the Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society (OWL) in Delta. Injured or orphaned eagles and other birds are nursed back to health with the intent of returning them to the wild. “The reason we do the release in Harrison Mills is that it’s the best chance of the eagle for getting food and surviving,” said FVBEF chairwoman Joe-

Santa Claus will be making an early visit to Downtown Chilliwack next Friday, and shoppers have a chance to receive an early Christmas present. Five Corners will be lit up Nov. 25 in a spectacular scene of lights and sound for “Up on the Rooftop: Santa’s $10,000 Christmas Dollars Giveaway.” As Santa Claus does a trial run over Downtown Chilliwack in preparation for the big day, shoppers are being welcomed to start of the holiday shopping season and celebrate with Santa Claus and all of his friends at the Downtown BIA and Prospera Credit Union. Carolers, fiddlers, jazz bands and acoustic guitarists will be live at the courthouse at 5:30 p.m. Said BIA executive director Kathy Funk: “I am so thrilled to be able to kick-off the Christmas shopping season with this free, family event on Nov. 25. Kids of all ages are sure to love the variety of music, food and prizes.” Desmond Devnich, event co-ordinator, added, “During the evening, Santa is going to share some tips for shopping downtown this Christmas and will be giving away $10,000 Christmas dollars from some of his favourite merchants. As part of the festivities, a gigantic tree will be illuminated that will be seen for miles.” This kick-off to the shopping season is the start of many Christmas events and activities going on in downtown Chilliwack. Christmas in the City, a series of holiday events in downtown Chilliwack, occurs Nov. 25 to Dec. 17. Leanne Adderley, BIA special events committee chair, said, “I am excited about how many downtown businesses are participating to make the Christmas shopping experience the way it was meant to be.”

Chilliwack Chief Josh Hansen battles Langley Riverman Mike Tebbutt during a BCHL game Friday night at Prospera Centre. The Chilliwack kid helped his Chiefs to a 5-3 win over Langley.

Gervais kid, he really makes plays out there. He’s a good player for them.” Salmon Arm took the lead with 1:46 left in the second period. With the Chiefs running around in their own zone, Surrey’s Kody Dhaliwal collected the rebound from a Graham McBain shot and beat Gillam short-side for his fifth. Despite out-shooting Salmon Arm 16-13, Chilliwack trailed 3-2 heading to the final frame. Things looked bleak in the third period as the Chiefs struggled to generate offence. Whether from bad bounces or bad ice, Chilliwack’s gunners couldn’t get a puck to settle down, and it looked like the visitors were going to be able to nurse their one goal lead. “We were getting frustrated on the

bench,” Hills admitted. “But we knew if we kept working hard we’d get another one. We just needed to get some shots through and get some rebounds.” As penalties let Salmon Arm back into the game in the second period, penalties helped the Chiefs net the equalizer in the third. A series of fouls landed Chilliwack a four-onthree power play, and Malcolm Gould took advantage of the open ice. The ex-Quesnel Millionaire vacuumed up a loose puck behind the Salmon Arm net and caught Silverbacks netminder Clark napping. Gould got his fifth of the year on a perfectly executed wraparound, sending this game to OT. And then, Hills did his thing, helping the Chiefs to their third

win in three meetings versus Salmon Arm this season. “You’ve really got to get on the Interior conference teams because you don’t want them catching up to you,” Hills said. “You’ve got to pound them when you can.” A familiar face was absent behind the bench for both weekend games (Chilliwack beat Langley 5-3 on Friday). Head coach Harvey Smyl donned his general manager’s hat and headed out of province, leaving assistant coach Doug Ast to run the ship. “Doug’s a great coach and he rolled the lines pretty well tonight,” Hills said. “He’s been around and he knows what to do.” The three stars were Michael Spring (Chilliwack, third),

Gervais (second) and Babych (first). Announced attendance was 2,059. ● The Chiefs beat the Langley Rivermen 5-3 Friday night at Prospera Centre in the only meeting between the two teams this year. Chilliwack got off to another fast start, building a 2-0 lead through 20 minutes on a pair of David Bondra power play snipes. The Rivermen scored the only goal of the second period (Austin Plevy) and tied the game early in period three on a strike by Ryan Lisowsky. Hills and Babych scored back-to-back to restore Chilliwack’s two goal lead. After Chilliwack native Darnell Dyck scored a power play goal for Langley at 13:49, it was left to Bondra to

ice the game and secure the hat-trick with an empty netter. Chiefs super-fan Phil Mante saluted the feat by tossing his mullet onto the ice. The Chiefs are back in action Thursday night, hoping to extend their winning streak with a victory over the Vernon Vipers. Chilliwack has had surprising success against the defending Canadian champs this year, taking two of three meetings. The teams last met Nov. 5, with the Chiefs taking a 5-4 decision at the Wesbuild Centre in Vernon. Puck drop is 7 p.m. Chilliwack is on the road Friday, visiting the Merritt Centennials before returning home to host the Westside Warriors Saturday night at Prospera Centre. Puck drop is 7 p.m.

Cascades win big over Wesmen The University of the Fraser Valley Cascades defeated the University of Winnipeg Wesmen 75-51 Saturday to even their Canada West regular season record at 2-2. UFV started out strong, establishing an

early lead while holding the Wesmen offence to seven first quarter points. Winnipeg came to life in the second quarter, rallying to tie the game 25-25 heading into halftime. But the third quarter belonged to Cascades, who out-scored the Wesmen by 19 points and cruised to the win from there. The Cascades were led by Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Nicole Wierks, who poured in a team high

The womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer squad played in cold and windy conditions, getting their first goal with three minutes remaining in the first half. Brendzy took a drop pass from Andrea Northcott and blasted a 20 yard shot into the Vancouver net. Just before halftime, Brendzy set up Northcott to put the Lunachicks up 2-0. Michelle Julian set up Brendzy for her second strike 11 minutes into the second half, and Trudy Hall set up Brendzyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third at the 39 minute mark. Lisa Hiemstra recorded the shutout in goal. The Lunachicks are on the road Friday, travelling to Langley.

The Chilliwack Voodoo Derby Dollz Roller Derby Association kicked off the holiday season Saturday with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Deck the Dollz.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; The Dollz faced the Sunshine Coast Roller Girls at the Landing Leisure Centre in their second bout ever â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a hard fought, action packed and extremely physical match. With moustaches etched on their upper lips in recognition of Movember (prostate cancer awareness), the Dollz grabbed the lead from the first jam and held on for the rest of the game. The final score was 110-54, but the real winners were the Chilliwackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s firefighters. They operated the beer garden and concession, and were able to raise just over $900 in support of Movember. Anyone who would still like to donate can click online to http://ca.movember.com, where the Derby Dollz team account can be found under their team captainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name, Brad Kemp.
