Report cards to be done by administrators

T AKING F LIGHT

May not include marks Katie Bartel The Progress Despite job action, student report cards will still be sent home this month. But they won’t be written by teachers, and they won’t necessarily have grades attached to them. Superintendent Michael Audet sent a letter home to parents earlier this week notifying them they would be receiving report cards, but the information in them would be from the perspective of principals and vice principals. “This year’s reporting to parents is complicated by the teachers’ strike and the Labour Relations Board essential services order, which currently does not require teachers to produce report cards,” wrote Audet. “The School Regulation (Ministry of Education, Government of BC) requires that parents receive a minimum of three report cards per year and this is the reason we have been directed to send home a report card at this time.” However, the information will be limited. The report cards will indicate the student’s division, name of the teacher providing instruction, the courses, and student attendance. Grades will only be provided for classes taught by administrators, or where teachers have submitted marks to the BCeSIS system, which may not be up-to-date at the time report cards are issued. Chilliwack Teachers’ Association president Katharin Midzain believes the exercise to be a futile one. The Labour Relations Board ruled in the summer that report cards were non essential, and that refusing to write them was a valid right of job action. The Labour Relations Board is currently looking at that decision and deciding whether or not to uphold it. “It is my understanding that the Labour Relations Board will be ruling on the central nature of report cards next week,” said Midzain. “It seems premature to spend such an amount of administrative time and paper on a document that may be deemed unnecessary.” Continued: JOB/ p11

Ralph Smith, director of Orphaned Wildlife (OWL), releases Frank, a juvenile bald eagle, into the wild at Sandpiper Golf Resort on Wednesday morning after a four-month stay at the rehab centre for birds. Frank was one of 19 young eagles orphaned by his parents in the wild, and then later found and rehabilitated at the centre. The 19 eagles were cared for at OWL by foster parents, all of which are adult eagles who help feed the orphaned birds and teach them how to eat. The eagle release kicked off the annual Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival which takes place this Saturday and Sunday at various locations throughout the valley. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Loss of Abby could cost Chilliwack Abbotsford’s departure from FVRD has ‘financial implications’ for Chilliwack Robert Freeman The Progress Abbotsford’s threatened departure from the Fraser Valley Regional District has “financial implications” for Chilliwack and the remaining communities in the region, says Mayor Sharon Gaetz. She agreed Abbotsford pays

the “lion’s share” of the FVRD’s budget because of its larger population, but major restructuring of regional operations last year achieved major cost savings for the city. Last week, Abbotsford city council voted 8-1 to ask the B.C. government for permission to leave the FVRD and set up a “single-tier” governance after a

staff report said the city could save $759,000 per year by leaving the FVRD. “Our motive is what is best value for our taxpayers,” Peary told The Abbotsford News. But Chilliwack MLA John Les, a former FVRD chairman, said Wednesday there’s “no such thing as a stand-alone regional district” and the minister could not authorize it under current legislation. “If they applied to the minis-

ter to join the GVRD - that can be accommodated,” he said. “But I think if Abbotsford were to transfer to the GVRD it would cost millions — and I mean many millions — in such things as (Translink) gas taxes alone,” he said. “It’s election time,” Les added. “People tend to throw straw men around in that process. This (leaving the FVRD) is just one of those.” Continued: FVRD/ p11

Former Chilliwack RCMP now Canada’s top cop Robert Freeman The Progress Bob Paulson, who started his RCMP career in Chilliwack, has been named the Mounties’ new top cop. David McLay, former RCMP detachment commander in Chilliwack, said he believes Paulson is the right man to head up Canada’s national police force in troubled times. “He’s a policeman’s policeman,” McLay said, who has come up through the ranks and knows “all the trials and tribulations” of RCMP members.

“He’s had so many important and significant assignments on the force, and he’s just breezed through everything,” McLay said. “I’m just very, very happy. He’s the right man for the job.” Paulson, 52, was named this week by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to replace outgoing RCMP Commissioner William Elliott, who admitted his lack of a policing background had been a problem. McLay said he believes Paulson’s wide policing experience and his rise through the ranks will help boost sagging morale among the Mounties. “It’s hard to keep people moti-

vated when they do a good job, and they don’t see a lot happen to the perpetrators,” he explained. McLay said Paulson was “pegged as a very high potential for development” very soon after he came to Chilliwack as a new recruit in 1986 after serving seven years in the military. Chilliwack MLA John Les said he clearly remembers Paulson’s arrival as one the city’s new RCMP constables. “It became pretty clear, quite quickly, that Bob Paulson was at the top of the class,” he said. Paulson “stood out as someone with great potential,” Les added,

and he was soon assigned to more responsible positions in the RCMP’s operations in B.C. Les said he was “never surprised” over the years to see Paulson named to ever higher positions within the national police force. According to an RCMP biography, Paulson was a general duty investigator in the Courtenay/ Comox detachment from 1993-95, promoted to corporal and assigned to the Northwest District’s major crime unit and unsolved homicide unit until 1999 when he was named sergeant in charge of the Southwest District’s major crime

section. He was promoted to inspector in 2001, and assigned to manage the RCMP’s federal organized crime investigation branch until 2005 when he was promoted to superintendent of aboriginal and community policing. Paulson was named deputy commissioner of federal policing in November last year. Paulson told reporters in Ottawa that “accountability and leadership” will top his list of priorities as commissioner, which includes recent allegations by female RCMP officers of sexual harassment. rfreeman@theprogress.com

‘Superhero’ teens draw attention, police warning Robert Freeman The Progress The story of Chilliwack teens who dressed as superheroes to out online sex perverts has gone viral. RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth, the detachment’s media liaison, says she hasn’t had time to put out a proper news release to stress the danger in which the teens placed themselves — because she keeps getting interrupted by calls from reporters.

But what motivated them in the first place to dress up as superheroes Batman and Flash to out child predators is still not clear. “We’re re-interviewing them at this time,” Hollingsworth said. “There’s still a lot of questions. We don’t have all the answers yet.” It’s also not clear whether the superheroes are facing charges.

Chilliwack mourns death of Bryant Robert Freeman The Progress Fred Bryant, one of the founders of what has become the modern City of Chilliwack, passed away last Thursday at the age of 90. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz said she was saddened to learn of his passing “but he obviously had a long life, and a good life, and he left a legacy for each and everyone that follows in his footsteps.” “He was a role model to me and to many others,” she said. “He wanted to make the community better.” Chilliwack MLA John Les said he is one of those who saw Bryant as a role model and “a bit of a mentor.” “He was a man of many contributions to the community, a very genuine and caring man. I will miss him,” he said. First elected to the Township of Chilliwack council in the 1976, Bryant helped bring the urban community of Chilliwack together with the rural community of Sardis in 1980 to form the District of Chilliwack, now the City of Chilliwack. Not without some resistance, former Mayor Clint Hames pointed out during the ceremony

Fred Bryant passed away on Nov. 10. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

in 2001 when Bryant was made the first recipient of the Order of Chilliwack. In addition to his “outstanding record of service” in agriculture, Hames said, Bryant’s crowning achievement was bringing the two communities together. “That’s something Fred is an expert at, bringing people together,” Hames said. Gaetz, who was a councillor at the time, said Bryant’s selection as the first recipient was a natural because he had given so much to the community.

“I don’t think people will soon forget Fred Bryant,” she said. “He lived what he believed, he didn’t compromise his values, his faith was very dear to him.” Bryant’s accomplishments and awards are literally too numerous to mention, but a complete list can be found on the city’s website. He is survived by his wife of 15 years, Rachel Bryant (Rennick); sons Gordon (Jennifer) Bryant and Robert (Lyn) Bryant; daughter-in-law Debrah Bryant; grandchildren Michael Bryant (Kim Simpson and daughter Juliana), Gillian Bryant (Neil Yorke), Sydnee Bryant, Courtney (Jason) Tweten; and great grand children Riley and Hannah Tweten. He was predeceased by his first wife Marjorie Bryant (Stronach) in 1990 and son F. Paul Bryant in 2002. A memorial service will be held Nov. 26 at the Chilliwack Central Church starting at 2 p.m. Donations may be made to the Chilliwack Museum, Gideon’s Bible Society or to the BC 4-H Foundation.

National Anti-Bullying Week Nov. 14-18

One mother’s painful fight to end bullying Chilliwack school district asked to take action The Progress When is enough enough? That was the question asked of school district officials and trustees at last week’s school board meeting by a mother fearing for the safety of her son. Christine, whose name has been changed at her request, was in tears and quietly sobbing as her friend read a letter to trustees that she had written about her 15-year-old son who has endured four years of relentless bullying. Her son has been called names, shoved around, stalked in and out of school, had rocks thrown at him, and one day, on his way home from school, a gun pointed at him from the window of a moving vehicle – all at the hands of one child. “As soon as a gun is pulled, whether it’s real or not, that brings the situation to a whole new level,” Christine said later in an interview with The Progress. The public meeting, she felt, was her last resort. This week, from Nov. 14-18, is National Anti-Bullying Week. Chilliwack school district’s Policy 501 states that all students have a right to education in a safe environment. But this mother doesn’t believe her son has had that right. The bullying started at Chilliwack middle school in 2007. Christine’s son, who has attention deficit disorder, had experienced rapid weight gain after going off one of his medications. He became an easy target for name calling and taunting. At first, Christine didn’t put much into it; although annoying, she believed it was something most kids go through. She contacted the school and was told the child would be spoken to. But the bullying didn’t stop. The taunts turned into threats, her son was shoved around, had rocks thrown at him on school grounds, and was often trailed all the way home. Christine went back to the school. “I told the principal that talking to this teenager wasn’t going to accomplish anything, it was pointless, they had to remove the kid,” she said. When they didn’t, Christine removed her son from the school, and enrolled him at A.D. Rundle middle school. “I had to get my kid out of that kid’s line of vision,” she said. However, while no longer at the same school, the bully continued to stalk up and down their street “like a

predator,” taunting her son from the outside, implanting in him a fear of leaving the house. In 2009, her son started having seizures, which were later diagnosed as stress seizures. After nearly two years of hospital visits, and missed school, Christine was advised that Chance Alternate would be a better suited school for her son’s needs as it was better equipped with resources and medical personnel. Before committing to Chance, Christine made sure the bully would not be welcomed there. She was adamant that if that child went to Chance, her son would not. She felt an agreement had been made. Three weeks ago, the bully was accepted into Chance; Christine’s son hasn’t been in school since. This is the third school he’s attended since the bullying started. “Enough is enough now,” Christine said. “My son has been displaced three times because of that kid ... I was proactive, I made sure, I specified, I made it a big deal. I had what I felt was a guarantee that this kid was not going to be allowed at this school. He needs to be removed from the Chilliwack school district’s system period. “We can’t take it anymore, my son has stress seizures. I have worked feverishly with Children’s Hospital, and with the beautiful amazing doctors at Chilliwack hospital, we are all working so hard, and if we’re all working so hard and it takes this one kid to tear it down, I will not stand by and allow that to happen anymore.” Christine had spoken to both the counselor and vice principal at Chance, but didn’t believe the school was doing enough – that’s why she went to the board meeting. “This has to stop,” she said. Superintendent Michael Audet told The Progress this week that the school district is working on a resolution. A meeting was scheduled for this week with Christine, her son, the vice principal, principal and assistant superintendent responsible for that school. “We want to restore peace between the two individuals and if that’s not possible, we will have to take some steps to ensure her child is safe,” said Audet. “What are those steps? At this point I don’t know. “We don’t want her child to be bullied at all.” kbartel@theprogress twitter.com/schoolscribe33

renters do not pay property tax directly, the landlord pays the property tax and recoups that tax through the rental income. “In one form or another, we all pay to support the schools through our taxes, and as taxpayers, we should vote for those who will spend our tax dollars wisely.” Some trustees cited social responsibility as a reason to vote. Don Davis said democracy should never be taken for granted and Jack Bass said “the right to vote was won at a terrible price we just now commemorated on Remembrance Day. Don’t ignore that sacrifice.” Barry Neufeld would like to see more voters this election, but said all voting should be done with due care. “[Citizens] should not vote for any candidate unless they have done their research and know what the candidates stand for,” said Neufeld. “Personally, I hope that people don’t vote for me, or anyone else, just because of a familiar name. I hope they vote for the candidate who stands for something. Even if you can’t completely agree with everything they say or write, give them credit for seriously thinking through the issues and not dodging the hard questions.” The election is on Nov. 19.

our society for years to come.” Harold Schmidt drove that point home with statistics from Correctional Services of Canada. According to Correctional Services of Canada, the average education level of newly admitted offenders, serving two years or more is Grade 7; 36 per cent of offenders have not completed Grade 9; and as many as 75 per cent of Canadian inmates have low literacy levels. “It appears that there is a correlation between low education levels of not graduating from school and prison offenders,” said Schmidt. “To keep the average inmate in a federal prison costs the taxpayer $87,665 per prisoner, per year. “If through proper education a person can be kept out of prison, the savings to the taxpayer are very great.” The school district’s budget also comes out of taxpayer coffers. “The school tax rate is set at [$2.4 million] which translates into about 25 per cent of the basic property tax,” said Schmidt. “That tax is paid by property owners whether they have children or not.

Continuing to foster a business friendly approach was mentioned by several council candidates as the best way for city council to attract jobs and investment to Chilliwack. The final question of the 2011 municipal campaign asked of candidates by The Progress this week was: “With one of the highest rates of local employment in the region, [more-online Chilliwack has about 72 per www.theprogress.com cent of the population living and working within the city limits. What can council do to attract even more jobs and investment to Chilliwack?” Seventeen of the 20 candidates vying for a seat on council responded. (Complete responses from all the candidates who replied to our question can be found on The Progress website at www.theprogress.com.) Several suggested the pro-business bent in Chilliwack, or the success CEPCO has seen to date in attracting large employers, were key factors in bringing new employers and investment to town. Several praised the work of CEPCO, and the BIA and cited the Canada Education Park and low taxes as attractants. At least one candidate bucked the pro-CEPCO trend and said the economic development work in Chilliwack should be done in-house by a volunteerrun agency. Another countered that argument, and reinforced the value-for-money Chilliwack gets with CEPCO’s successes.

Students and staff of Timothy Christian school, along with Gord Gadsden (left) from the Fraser Valley Regional District, build a stairway to a viewing platform at the Cheam Wetlands last week as part of one of Timothy Christian’s community service projects. Earlier this year, a team of students from the same school also helped to landscape the picnic area at the same park.

Abbotsford ponders departure from FVRD FVRD from Front George Ferguson, a former Abbotsford mayor and former FVRD chairman, said he is “totally opposed” to the idea of the city leaving the FVRD. The idea that Abbotsford can form a regional government as “an island unto itself” is “misguided,” he said. “You have to belong to some regional district,” he said. “If you can’t get along in the FVRD, the next option is to join Metro Vancouver.” But Peary told The News that any suggestion of Abbotsford joining Metro Vancouver is “fearmongering” and would not happen as long as he is mayor.

“We have no intention of joining Metro,” he said. “That’s not in the cards.” Peary also said the city has consulted Abbotsford MLAs and Community Minister Ida Chong and “they are prepared to at least consider our request.” “It requires a legislative amendment,” he agreed. “That’s why we’re talking to the politicians and not the bureaucrats.” Current FVRD chairperson Patricia Ross, who is also an Abbotsford councillor, said the staff report to city council contained “a number of inaccuracies” and she called for “a constructive dialogue ... rather than taking a confrontational approach.” Abbotsford’s contribution to

the FVRD has been cut by more than $715,000, Ross said in a news release. “The average Abbotsford household pays $29.04 annually, or $2.42 a month,” she said, which is “good value for all the services and benefits we receive” including 9-1-1 dispatch, solid waste management and mosquito control. However, Peary 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. ~ With files from the Abbotsford News rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Job action affects report cards JOB from Front Midzain said report cards, whether administration- or teacher-written, are only a snapshot of a student’s progress, and parents should not rely on them. “If parents are relying on report cards for a full understanding of how their child is doing in school, then they are only getting a very limited level of understanding,” she said. “Report cards are a summary of a student’s

progress up to that point in time. They don’t provide all the information a teacher has about a student, or everything a parent may want to know – there should always be further conversations.” Job action has not suspended communication between teachers and parents, said Midzain. In elementar y schools, teachers have been talking to parents when they can – on the phone, through

emails, in the hallways before and after school, through notes written in student agendas, and some have even sent individual summar y sheets home. Midzain admitted communication with parents in the secondary schools has been more difficult, as it’s “impractical to individually contact over 200 parents,” but that many teachers have been posting marks to a system that parents have access to.

The union has made it clear to their members that when job action ends and report cards are written, “no parent should be surprised with what’s in the report card,” said Midzain. “I feel confident every teacher understands and is following through in their professional responsibility to inform parents if a child is having difficulties.” Phase 1 of job action began in September. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Research, then vote They’ve been lightly grilled at all candidates meetings, roasted on the doorstep, and now on Saturday, more than 50 local candidates will await the public’s decision. It will be a daunting task for voters to choose from the menu on offer in this year’s civic elections. The trick is to know what you’re getting for your vote and to choose only the best. If that means being a picky eater at the smorgasbord, so be it. First, don’t let your eyes be bigger than your stomach. Don’t try to fill out the ballot out of obligation. Do read everything you can about the candidates and match their issues with yours. Democracy is best served to the discriminating palate. All the candidates on the ballot have attempted to put their best foot forward and all say they can do the tough job of budgeting, making decisions about garbage and planning for development. But can they? It’s the voters’ job to figure out who has the ingredients to run a city, school district, park board or regional district well. Who works well with others? Who will bring jobs and investment to Chilliwack? Who will chart the course of the city for the next three years? Those are questions you need to ask yourself on — even better, before — election day. Don’t go for the easy choice — the name you recognize or the fresh face you see in an election brochure who you never heard of before. Do your homework to find those candidates who have worked behind the scenes to gain a good knowledge of the city and how it works. Think twice before choosing candidates who only show up on election day or who have been warming a seat at the council or school board table for years unless you truly believe they are up to the job. It’s up to voters to make the distinction between the has-beens, also-rans and naive newbies, and many groups and organizations, including The Chilliwack Progress, have tried to make it easy for voters by putting together menus and lists for voters to savour. If you want to learn more, go to the “Election” tab at www.theprogress.com. You’ll find out how the candidates respond to key issues affecting our community. Knowledge is power and the more you know, the better you will be at choosing the best candidate for the job.

Local government neglected by the public again VICTORIA – The red-headed stepchild of democracy is shivering on the doorstep again. Most won’t open the door. Local government elections are always overshadowed by louder events, and this year is no different. The “occupy” nonsense, the teachers’ strike, the precarious economy and the media’s fixation on them are part of the problem. But let’s face it. Public indifference to local government has left it mainly to self-serving politicians and special interest groups. Community newspapers soldier on through the three years between elections to highlight issues and choices, but few people join the debate when it’s time to vote. The recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention demonstrated this. Local politicians love to tell senior governments what to do. They’d much rather debate smart meters or bad old Ottawa’s

RCMP costs than talk about their own performance. Most of the mayors and councillors on hand were unhappy with the province’s plan to appoint a municipal auditorgeneral to examine the efficiency of municipal spending. Just another layer of bureaucracy, according to these experts on the subject. Tom At the convenFLETCHER tion, I asked NDP MLA Carole James about this. A veteran of local government, she observed that it would be awkward for local politicians to go back to their communities and campaign against accountability. There is much that is not discussed and it goes beyond technical details like performance audit-

ing. How about amalgamation in places where there are clearly too many municipal boundaries, policing is fragmented and administration is duplicated? You won’t hear much about that, unless a lot more voters insist on it. Business groups and community newspapers raise it, and it fades away. Not enough people care. Few challengers and even fewer incumbent politicians signed the taxpayers’ pledge offered up at local election time by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. It’s a modest proposal to match spending growth with real growth. Candidates don’t want to talk about the fact that B.C. municipal spending, adjusted for inflation, is now growing almost four times as fast as population growth. Pay and benefits for municipal employees grow much faster than private sector rates. Not enough people care.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees is campaigning against contracted private development of water utilities. They prefer their high-cost monopoly. And outside their special interest support, not enough people care. School board elections have become even more of an insider activity. To take one example, a school trustee candidate forum in Abbotsford last week started with a protest march by 18 teachers. They carried their message inside, demanding smaller classes, more special needs support, the familiar list of demands in their dysfunctional relationship with the provincewide bargaining agent. Of course school trustees have no actual authority over these huge and costly issues. The province took away school board taxing authority long ago, because the teacher and support staff unions have the money and voting num-

bers to control low-turnout local elections for their own benefit. Now the unions have to settle for vetting candidates according to their willingness to lobby the B.C. government on behalf of unions. (If anyone has attended a trustee forum that wasn’t taken over by teachers, please e-mail me. I haven’t heard of one for years.) There are still things you can do to compare candidates, and it doesn’t take long to sort through a dozen or two hopefuls. Please, check The Progress’s website for stories on the local candidates, and take some time on Saturday to back the people who you think have the best experience, independence and understanding of the community’s needs.

for being a rough part of town. It is dark out and possibly no one else around. There were four individuals (3 males and 1 female) described as being in their early 20s and dressed in such a manner that would raise questions. Secondly is your perception of the event. Do you have experience dealing with such a situation? What is your physical description compared to the individuals you are about to confront? Do you have any special training? Have you planned what to do if the individuals react contrary to your thoughts? In this case the victim is described as 43 years old; he is confronting three young males and a female. One of the suspects is described as being 5”11”, so not a small person. The victim is by himself with a small dog. He is obviously a nice guy since he actually picked up the garbage for these individuals. You should also take into consideration the group’s actions. In this case they were littering. When asked to pick up the garbage what was the group’s response? Where there threats made? Did they circle? People in a group react differently then when they are alone, groups feed off each other creating

a pack mentality. I agree that sometimes we should say something to address the situation but I also think that before saying anything we should analyze the personal risk involved. In this case if nothing was said I would suggest that this individual would not have been pepper-sprayed or stabbed. This case is about littering. I feel bad that he was injured and thankful he is alive but there is a lesson to be learned. There is a time to say something and a time to say nothing. The victim appears to be a nice trusting person which is in direct contrast to the four people he was dealing with. These four simply don’t care about others and were probably out looking for trouble. There are far too many examples of “nice guys” being hurt or killed because of good intentions. Before getting involved think the situation through and analyze the risk to your personal safety first. There is an expression “What hill are you willing to die on?” Self-protection is being able to analyze a situation and if required using your physical skills to defend yourself.

glad to see that so many people had come out to support our veterans on such a miserable day. While it was great to see that the veterans were given ‘reserved seating’ under a tent getting them out of the rain it was disappointing to see that this special seating was at the very back of the crowd leaving none of them able

to see the ceremony take place. My great-grandfather at the age of 86 years old wanted to see what was happening around him and we are lucky enough that he was able to push his way to the front of the crowd and stand in the rain for the duration of the ceremony, however many of the veterans are not able to do

this. Although everyone fights to get the best view of the Remembrance Day Ceremony I would like to see that in the future our veterans are given priority seating and that they have a front row view to be honoured during this ceremony as they so deserve. TJ McCandless

Chilliwack getting the message on domestic violence I would like to thank all who supported the Purple Light Nights (PLN) during October. The message is spreading that “Domestic Violence Has No Place in Our Community.” Thanks to Mayor Gaetz and Council who kick start the initiative each year with a light-

ing ceremony. Thanks to local businesses and agencies who make the purple bulbs available to the public throughout October. Since January 1, 2011 the Chilliwack Specialized Victim Services program have received and opened files for 75 victims of family vio-

lence. Heightened awareness leads to more collaboration, tightened safety nets and lives saved. If your agency would like to participate in the 2012 PLN initiative, contact Mary Ives at 604-702-4900. Mary Ives, Chilliwack

Some thoughts about self-protection I am writing this letter in relation to the unfortunate and potentially fatal incident that happened this week. A Chilliwack resident trying to do good was pepper sprayed and stabbed after approaching a group of young adults in downtown Chilliwack. This letter is not to point fingers or lay blame but to provide information that will hopefully help people think before they act and help protect themselves. Last night I took the opportunity to present this incident to the students in my self-defence class. Learning to protect yourself is not solely about punching, kicking or throwing people. It is also about using your brain to analyze potentially dangerous situations before they occur. I applaud those individuals who try and do the right thing, but prior to intervening they must also understand the potential dangers of getting involved. Hopefully the following will help or encourage people to think before acting. When deciding to intervene or not there are several factors to take into account. The first area of consideration is the situational factors that exist. In this case it was 10:30 at night in an area which arguably is known

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Not many people can claim they lived with a bald eagle for 13 years. But longtime wildlife rescuer Una Freed could. Freed, 79, passed away recently and a memorial service is set for Nov. 22 at Woodlawn Mount Cheam Funeral Home chapel at 1:30 p.m. Local resident Verna Pigou remembered Freedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kindness and her compassion for creatures of all kinds, but especially birds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t choose them. They came to her, often left on her doorstep,â&#x20AC;? said Pigou. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d find a box but she wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know if it contained kittens or a spitting raccoon.â&#x20AC;? For years she had a raptorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s licence, which allowed her to house and care for endangered birds of prey. Freed grew up on a farm in southern Manitoba and learned everything she knew about animals and bird by doing it handson. In an interview with the Chilliwack Progress in 2000, Freed said it all began one winter day in 1979. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An eagle was hit with a shotgun blast out near Hemlock Mountain,â&#x20AC;?

Una Freed, seen here in a photo from 2000, cared for injured birds and wildlife for 30 years. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE

Freed said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The SPCA sent it here and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how this all got started. The word has gotten out and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got quite a reputation.â&#x20AC;? With a special â&#x20AC;&#x153;rehabilitatorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; networkâ&#x20AC;? permit from the Canadian Wildlife branch, she had cared for every kind of baby animal imaginable over the years from deer to coyotes, possums, and more. The birds ranged from eagles, hawks, owls, vultures, to crows, robins, doves, starlings, and Stellarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

jays. At one point she had a pot-bellied pig and even a baby beaver in residence. Pigou worked with a local vet for years, and would do support work for Freed as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her trick was canned milk for any mammal babies she ended up with,â&#x20AC;? said Pigou. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d feed them, heal them and set them free. She never babied them. Almost every kind of bird ended up at Unaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s old place on Bailey

Road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She would carry them like they were a purse. Beaks, or sharp claws were no matter. Even the eagle would be under her arm, with talons tucked in.â&#x20AC;? She never wore gloves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The birds just seemed to relax with her.â&#x20AC;? A big barred owl wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t leave. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She tried to let him go, but he came back. She ended up taking him into the schools to educate children about wildlife,â&#x20AC;? Pigou remembered. The only critters she never took in were bears or snakes. Freed was the wildlife person for more than three decades and all her work was paid for with donations, and the u-pick blueberry farm she and her husband ran.

At one point she felt dejected from so many animals that hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made it, and Pigou tried to raise her spirits. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told her with a success rate of 50 per cent was phenomenal, and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d find the best way to release the animal back into the wild after it had healed.â&#x20AC;? Freed also was involved in a range of activities from volunteering at the Royal Canadian Legion, to the Chilliwack Fair where she exhibited bantams and judged horticulture, as well as Girl Guides, foster parenting and participating in the annual Christmas decoration context. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This kind of activity shows what people can do when they get involved in their community. It just amazed me,â&#x20AC;? Pigou said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Una was a character and a half.â&#x20AC;?

For ongoing business attraction and retention several said they supported the work of the Chilliwack Economic Par tners Corporation (CEPCO) and that getting more industrial tenants was stressed by a couple candidates. A council candidate suggested the city take “a more proactive role in our partnership with CEPCO” and to specifically target sectors like aviation and aerospace, as well as agriculture, film and TV, and more. One candidate advocated a “Chilliwack business first” approach for deciding which companies get hired to build projects like new libraries, while another suggested mentoring small businesses and further streamlining bureaucratic hurdles to doing business. Improving infrastructure and keeping taxes low were pinpointed by one of the candidates, while another was eager to see the OCP overhauled.

Jeff Nagel Black Press After years of cuts left the Agricultural Land Commission struggling to do its job, the province is now providing a $1.6-million cash injection as part of a broader plan to bolster protection of scarce farmland. The ALC will get an extra $600,000 for the rest of this fiscal year and an extra $1 million for 2012, supplementing its $1.9-million budget, which had been slashed by more than a third since 2002. Agriculture Minister Don McRae said it’s not a permanent budget increase. Instead, he promises to let the ALC charge as-yet-undetermined service fees to generate more of its own revenue starting in 2013. McRae also ordered a moratorium on repeat applications so developers who try to remove land from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) but are refused will have to wait five years before trying again. That measure is expected to ease some of the ALC’s workload. ALC chair Richard Bullock said he hopes the changes to strengthen the agency stamp out the pervasive belief among real estate speculators that they will eventually be able to pry farmland out of the ALR for development. “I hope this puts a nail in that argument,” he said. “[The ALR] is here and it’s here to stay.” Bullock had warned the government in a report released this week that the ALC was “extremely challenged” to meet its mandate, that stakeholders were near-unanimous in their concerns about underfunding

Ag Minister Don McRae

and that there remains “overwhelming” public support to protect the ALR. B.C.’s Auditor General had previously flagged the lack of funding as one reason the ALC often fails to prosecute people who degrade farmland by dumping toxic fill or through other non-farm uses. Commission staff tend to issue warnings instead of fines or orders because the ALC can’t afford to defend tougher measures in court. McRae said the commission will now have access to up to 30 enforcement staff in other government ministries to assist them. And he said local cities that want to help enforce farmland rules will have the ability to use their bylaw enforcement officers to pitch in as well. “We’re going to work with municipalities,” McRae said. “If that’s something they want, they can go down that path.” Metro Vancouver agriculture committee chair Harold Steves

said that initiative would merely restore the ability of cities’ to enforce soil protection rules, which was taken away more than 10 years ago. “In the years since that happened it’s been open season on farmland for putting in illegal fill,” he said. “We’re losing as much farmland to illegal landfilling and dumping as we are to development.” Steves welcomed the promise of more funding and tougher enforcement. “It’s a step in the right direction,” he said. “There’s still a long way to go.” He noted much Metro farmland is being converted by the province itself to build new highways and overpasses or by Port Metro Vancouver for port-related development. Nothing in the measures announced stops that or prevents speculators from buying farmland in places like Delta and waiting for the right offer from the port, he said. The changes also give the ALC chair a more prominent role overseeing regional panels that decide on changes to the land reserve. Decisions of those panels can now be appealed to the chair. The province did not follow Bullock’s recommendation to create a single provincial panel, with representatives from each region, to decide all ALR changes. Steves said a provincial panel would have been less vulnerable to lobbying at the local level. McRae said the changes will also allow the ALC to become more proactive in responding to agricultural issues and promoting farming.

Banting and Best: Celebrating two true Canadian superheroes

for council

www.re-electmclean.com

Insulin is not a cure, not even close, but it has given me, and thousands of others like me, life, writes Katie Bartel the Twitter feed, blogs, even my own email was buzzing with people expressing happiness about this day. I don’t know how many times I saw the phrase “Happy World Diabetes Day” posted. Really? Are we happy about diabetes? Really? Diabetes, despite its many attempts, hasn’t ruined me. I’m alive. I’m healthy. I’m happy. But I’m not happy about this disease. So no, I did not say “Happy World Diabetes Day,” on Monday, but I did say thanks to those super duper, totally awesome, Canadian superheroes for the invention of insulin. I do every day. In 1921, 90 years ago, Dr. Frederick Banting and med student Charles Best discovered that insulin taken from the pancreas of cows could save the lives of humans.

They went against the odds, fought to do the research when others doubted its importance, and even when they were given a tiny, decaying lab to work out of at the University of Toronto, didn’t back down. Their discovery was like a miracle for us diabetics. Before Banting and Best, before Humulin-R and NPH, Humalog and Lantus, Novorapid and Levimir (all insulins I have taken over the years), us diabetics were crammed into a hospital room and starved – like third-world country, hair falling out, belly extended starved – to enable us just a few more years on earth. Betting those weren’t exactly the most enjoyable years. My life, while not always easy, has been nothing like that. I can eat chocolate, I can run marathons, I

can have a love-hate relationship with the Grouse Grind, I can go to work every day. I can dream. I can live. Thanks to Dr. Frederick Banting and Charles Best. Insulin is not a cure, not even close, but it has given me, and thousands of others like me, life. So, for my parents, my siblings, my husband, my friends, myself, I give thanks to Banting and Best from the bottom of my healthy heart. And apparently I wasn’t the only one giving homage to Canada’s superheroes on World Diabetes Day, which also happened to be Banting’s birthday. Have you seen Canada’s new polymer $100 bill that was unveiled Monday? Front and centre, an old-school insulin vial. Good job Canada. • November is also Diabetes Awareness Month.

Ahhh insulin, we’ve had quite the ride haven’t we. In the beginning, I thought for sure you were my enemy, and just like the scared, little kid I was, I avoided you at all costs – health included. Instead of me being your recipient, my mom’s plants were injected full of you. But after the plants had all been massacred, and I had been sentenced to Children’s Hospital, and was forced to accept your wisdom, our relationship gradually evolved into something that is now quite beautiful. Some might even call it BFF-like. And so today, dear insulin, I give you homage. Monday was World Diabetes Day, and I’ll be honest, despite having this disease for more than 24 years, I had no clue that Nov. 14 was World Diabetes Day until just last month. It probably had something to do with the fact that I never really cared, and quite frankly I’m still kind of dubious about the whole “day” thing. All day on Monday,

would otherwise be working, were at war,â&#x20AC;? he explained. During this time, Leonard was encouraged to audition for the British Army. One thing led to another and he applied to the Royal Fusiliers, City of London Regiment and he was accepted. He became an oboist since he was required to play a band instrument. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was shipped from London to Scotland for twelve weeks of gruelling training and after that time, I was sent back to England for four more months of advanced military training,â&#x20AC;? he said. He was selected to attend the Royal Military School of Music (Kneller Hall) in London and after graduating in 1955, became the British Armyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest bandmaster. After being transferred to Germany as part of the British Army of the Rhine, he studied at the Essen School of Music in Germany and received private tuition lessons in Berlin as well as in London. Leonardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s military career also led him to Hong Kong for a

couple of years. He returned to Britain to find the military amalgamating their regiments. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Given the fact that I was the youngest bandmaster, I honestly thought that I would be reorganized out of a job,â&#x20AC;? he said, frankly. So, he made the decision to immigrate to Canada and in 1959 landed a job as music supervisor in the Sturgis School Unit in Saskatchewan. During this time, he was successful in gaining a full music credit for music students towards graduation in all Saskatchewan schools. In addition to his duties as music supervisor, Leonard also played oboe with the Regina Symphony Orchestra. He joined the Canadian Army in 1961 as music director of the Royal Canadian Engineers Band, Regular Force, and subsequently commanded the Canadian Forces Naden and Princess Patriciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canadian Light Infantry Bands. Three years later, in addition to his posting with the army, he was also appointed music director of the

Leonard Camplin is an extraordinary conductor who has performed throughout Canada, Europe, the United Ana States MACEDO and the Far East. Many leading Canadian and international artists have performed under Leonardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s baton and many have applauded him for his outstanding leadership and incredible skill. Maestro Leonard was born and grew up in London, England until WWII broke out. As an evacuee, he was transported to the Midlands to avoid the intense bombing that was taking place in an effort to subdue Great Britain. While he escaped the heavy bombing, he returned to other, less serious assaults, nonetheless. His father was a stoker in the navy and during the war, he lost his hearing completely. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After that, my father really couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t work,â&#x20AC;? he said. Leonard left school at the age of fourteen; a combination of the need to earn a living and a desire to move on with his life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a number of jobs during that time and one of them was as a factory worker, helping to assemble farm equipment and that sort of thing.â&#x20AC;? It was also during this same time that he fell in love with the violin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was interested in music. I had been a choir boy in London and while I was living with my aunt, I had noticed that they had a violin. The smell and look of the violin fascinated me. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t touch it for fear that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d break it,â&#x20AC;? he laughed. With a loan from his brother, he bought his first, brand new violin. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It even came with a case and a bow,â&#x20AC;? he said exuberantly. Aspiring to learn to play the violin proficiently and professionally, he began attending the prestigious Guildhall School of Music in London. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I took on a milk delivery job in order to be able to pay for my schooling. I got the job quite easily because the men that

1972, he was the dedicated music director of the Vancouver Philharmonic Orchestra and in 1975, Leonard was appointed music director of the City of Calgary’s centennial celebrations and formed and conducted the Century Calgary Symphony Orchestra. “I also founded and am the music director of the Burnaby Symphony Orchestra. I woke up one morning eleven years ago and decided to do it,” he chuckled. Leonard has had a very colourful and enjoyable career. He has performed worldwide and has conducted in the presence of Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Charles, Prince Philip, the Archbishop of Canterbury, President L.B. Johnson and Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau. Nine years ago, Leonard and his wife, Janet, moved to Chilliwack, although he continues to travel and perform. He is an advisor and conductor with the Fraser Valley Philharmonic Orchestra and will be showcasing his talent on December 10th at the Cultural Centre during a performance of Amahl and the Night Visitors. In this opera, a crippled little shepherd named Amahl lives with his mother, an impoverished widow. Nothing is left to them of the little they ever had and they are now faced

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

with hunger and cold in their empty house. Three Wise Men, on their way to Bethlehem, stop at the hut and ask to be taken in for the night. When Amahl’s mother realizes that the Three Kings are looking for a newborn child and that the expensive gifts are all destined for him, she becomes bitter and envious and cannot understand why at least some of these gifts could not be given to her own child, who is so poor and sickly. During the night, while the Three Kings are asleep, she steals some of the gold from them and is caught. The moving story continues and little Amahl is eventually miraculously cured of his lameness. “It’s a beautiful story and we’re pleased to be able to present it,” he said enthusiastically. As for Leonard, he is a well-spoken, outgoing, engaging man that has seen more in his well-lived life than many of us could ever dream of. In fact, it would take a series of novels to capture his trials, tribulations and overwhelming successes. For all that, he speaks of his adventures exuberantly yet humbly. He is rather happy and content with his life. “You have two choices in life; to be happy or not to be happy. To be happy, means that you’re healthy. I have three passions in my life which make me happy; golf, music and Janet, though not in that order,” he laughed. Leonard Camplin is a remarkable man with a remarkable life and I am the richer for knowing him.

Outlawz will bring their Perfect Timing Tour (Canada Remembers 2Pac) to Chilliwack’s Echo Room on Nov. 24. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Outlawz bringing the ghetto gospel Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Hip hop delivered as “ghetto gospel” and “inspirational street music.” Outlawz will be bringing it to Chilliwack on Nov. 24 at Echo Room on their Perfect Timing Tour (Canada Remembers 2Pac). Young Noble of Outlawz spoke to The Progress this week from his home in Atlanta, Georgia. Outlawz, formally Outlaw Immortalz, was founded by ground-breaking rap artist 2Pac in late 1995. Young Noble was later added and appeared on 2Pac’s album, The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. The spirit and the work ethic of Tupac Shakur, who went by the

stage name 2Pac or just Pac, lives on in the three-man Outlawz crew, said Noble. “We are still busy touring and recording, trying to make being positive cool,” he said. Noble was the last official Outlawz member, hand-picked to join the group by Tupac himself. He was introduced to him by Kadafi and Hussein Fatal in Los Angeles, a few months before he was murdered. Noble appeared in many of 2Pac’s last recordings, was featured heavily on his last album and the now legendary The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory. He says he’s proud to have come under “the tutelage” of Pac whom he credits as “the greatest rap artist of all time.”

Tupac’s early work was extremely socially conscious, taking on issues like inner-city poverty and racism in his lyrics, but he also had run-ins with the law, with other rap groups, and violent episodes followed him, culminating his the drive-by shooting that killed him in Las Vegas on Sept. 7, 1996. Members of Outlawz later admitted they had smoked some of Tupac’s ashes with marijuana, to honour his last wish. Today Noble said he is critical of any artist who tries to use the excuse of being a rapper “for acting like an a**hole.” “That’s what our listeners get from us; being positive, doing the right thing, being leaders. Hell yeah.” Outlawz have built “a pretty

loyal” fan base over the years, putting out albums periodically as well as mixtapes. Their music speaks to “the hopeless” and lost souls, Noble explained. “It’s the feeling you get. We like to talk directly to the people in need of inspiration and hope. “Our stage show is bananas. We’ll play some of the classics and some new stuff. The only thing missing is 2Pac.” He’s enjoyed several fulfilling collaborations. “I would say the most fun is making music with Young Buck. He has the same kind of work ethic as us and Tupac. It’s going to be done in a timely manner. And we post songs that mean something.” The solid reaction they get from

fans is “a blessing.” “That’s our reward. People write us from jail. They get inspired from our music.” Outlawz will be at Echo Room, Nov. 24, in a Hip Hop for Hunger themed event, where everyone is being asked to bring a canned food item for the food bank. Noble said whoever came up with that idea is “a genius.” “It’s a great idea. We’ll help a cause, especially one like that to feed people.” On the afternoon of the show, at 4 p.m there’s a meet-and-greet session with Outlawz at Clydesdale Entertainment on Spadina Avenue near the corner of Main Street. • Outlawz, Thurs. Nov. 24, Echo Room, $20/$15, doors at 9.

Our Student

2011 October

Congratulations

Leaders

to the following students on achieving

Of Tomorrow

excellence at school and in our community

Trenton is a French Immersion student at Sardis Secondary School. It was a totally life changing experience to be involved with the FI program because he has met wonderful students and teachers that have helped him engage in both the school and community. Trenton is also very involved in the Chef’s training program. His teachers think he is a fantastic person. Trenton volunteers many hours in the community, and especially in the school’s Breakfast club. He has spent countless hours bringing students in need into the program, and connecting with community businesses to donate food to the program. His inspiration to become involved with the program came from his personal experiences dealing with adversity. He has been praised numerous times for his confident, trusting presence, and his ability to connect easily to those less fortunate than himself. “So one day”, he says, “I figured, I like helping people, so why not use my voice and actions to be a better person in my community?” This led to Trenton attending leadership conferences annually for the past 4 years, and Challenge Day last year coordinated by Sardis Teacher, Ms. Irani. He had never been to an event as powerful as this event was. He claims that it made him aware of his ignorance of the issues that other kids have to deal with, and it helped him understand others – students he normally would not socialize or connect with. After Challenge Day, he decided that something needed to change, and so he and about 25 students formed a club that would make a difference in their school. This spawned into “Be The Change Committee”, which created the Breakfast Club at Sardis Secondary School. The Breakfast Club is one of the most fascinating, and arguably one of the finest things he feels he has been privileged to be involved with. He absolutely loves this program, and it has made a big change in a lot of people’s lives thus far. It has been a tough road for Trenton. He has had to face a lot of challenges, and has strived to push through them in order to make a difference for everyone including himself. Trenton says, “…at the end of the day, I remind myself that it’s a long hard journey, and nobody said it was going to be easy.”

Change the world is no pipe dream to Hannah Mander. It is part of her daily life. She is on a mission to make our world a better place. An outstanding student with superior academic achievement, Hannah is not satisﬁed with merely doing well at school. She wants to make a difference. A leader in her everyday example, Hannah has been instrumental in a number of initiatives at G. W. Graham. Whether it is coaching younger students in soccer, or organizing after school activities for elementary school students at Central Elementary, Hannah is out there making our community a better place. At school Hannah is a founding member of our school Key Club, the student leadership class and a member of the Be the Change Club. As a member of these groups she has organized many charity events raising money for worthy causes and she was instrumental in organizing our ﬁrst annual Volunteer Appreciation Tea. This is just a small sampling of the initiatives that Hannah has been associated with. A tireless worker and always with a smile on her face, Hannah is G. W. Graham’s Leader of Tomorrow for October, 2011. Congratulations Hannah!

Allysa Zucchet is an outstanding student whose motivation and academic performance makes it a pleasure to be a teacher. She has been on the Envirothon team for the last two years, BC Champions two years in a row and this year won ﬁrst in the oral portion of the National Envirothon competition. She was voted team captain on her volleyball team and is currently leading the Environmental club. Allysa has excelled in every class she has taken at Chilliwack Secondary School, and is a leader within the school community which makes her a leader of tomorrow.

Get into the season with a little holly Of all the evergreens we use to decorate our gardens and homes during the Christmas season, holly is still the most popular. Native to the British Isles and southern and central Europe, Ilex aquifolium, or English holly, is the traditional Christmas holly. While traveling in England last fall, I noticed large forests of oaks with holly growing underneath as a companion plant. The Latin name aquifolium means ‘needle-leafed’, but many new varieties are much friendlier. The use of holly dates back to Roman times when it was an emblem of goodwill and was sent from one home to another during the Festival of Saturn, celebrated from the 17th to the 19th of December. The

Christmas custom of decorating homes with holly probably dates back to this time. The pagans in the British Isles were very superstitious, and holly played an Brian imporMINTER tant role in their lives. Holly and ivy were used in fertility rites during the Fire Festival, which took place around the time of Christmas. When Christian missionaries attempted to convert the pagans, it was often easier to accept pagan superstitions and incorporate them into the mainstream of Christian

life. Instead of being a symbol of welcome, good luck and eternal life, holly thorns came to signify the Passion of Christ and the berries, drops of blood. Other superstitions persisted. A holly tree, growing near one’s home, was believed to protect the family from thunder and lightning. Holly was also hung before mistletoe, otherwise bad luck would come down the chimney on Christmas Eve. After Christmas, holly must be taken down before Epiphany Eve (January 5th), but a sprig should be retained to protect the house against lightning. You could sure get into a lot of trouble by not knowing your holly lore! Most older holly varieties were unisexual,

meaning both male and female plants were needed for pollination. Newer varieties, developed over the years, have eliminated the need for two trees. This is good news for smaller landscapes that can accommodate only one tree. All variegated forms, however, need a pollinator. Self-fertile varieties make good pollinators. In the case of hardy blue hollies, both male and female plants can be planted together in the same hole and thus save space. The best English varieties to plant are the self-fertile ‘San Gabriel’ (which produces seedless berries) and the hardier ‘San Jose Hybrid’. I have seen both of these varieties produce berries even as small plants, which is so different from the older types. One of the most popular holly varieties today, however, is the Dutch variety, ‘J.C. Van Tol’. Unlike its English counterpart, its leaves are much smoother – a real treat when you are making wreaths or door swags. This variety also produces berries even as a small plant and is absolutely loaded as it grows up to 30 feet. One of the newer compact hollies is a hardy variety called I.a. ‘Red Beauty’. Growing only 7-10 feet tall in a conical form, it’s an ideal patio specimen or small garden holly. It is self fertile and hardy to zone 6. The newer and more compact blue hollies, ‘Blue Boy’ and ‘Blue Girl’ are a cross between the aquifoliums and Ilex rugosas,

which give them the hardiness rating of zone four. ‘Blue Prince’ and ‘Blue Princess’ varieties seem to be far more popular. Their compact habit and black-green leaves provide a lovely contrast to their large, bright red berries. In spite of their hardy nature, treat them like a traditional broad-leafed plant and keep them out of winter winds. The variegated forms of English holly are in great demand each Christmas, but unfortunately, very few are grown in home gardens. The silver and green leafed variety, Argenteo-marginata is, by far, the most popular. ‘Golden King’ is one of the best golden variegated varieties, and like the Dutch variety, has almost spineless leaves. Both need pollinators. One of the hottest berried plants for this time of year is a totally unique deciduous holly called Ilex verticillata. When the leaves fall off, a stunning display of vibrant red berries smother the branches. While in high demand by the floral industry for Christmas décor, they are also the number one choice of birds for winter food. You need both a male and a female for pollination, so make sure you purchase two plants or a pot with both male and female together. It’s that time of year again when we start thinking about decorating our gardens for Christmas, and holly is certainly a universal favourite. If you want to grow at least one in your landscape, remember: they need very good drainage.

This is certainly not a conscious decision that anyone would choose if he or she had an alternative strategy to change his or her internal state. Dr. Amen makes a variety of suggestions for dealing with ADD including dietary interventions and supplements. Also helpful is regularly engaging in intense aerobic exercise. He recommends avoiding prolonged exposure to video or computer games. Dr. Amen includes an entire

chapter outlining the different medications for ADD, and which specific symptoms each medication targets. His work is in the area of neurofeedback (changing brainwave patterns), and he outlines the helpfulness of various sleep strategies, correcting negative thoughts, focused breathing, as well as parenting, family, and school strategies. While sometimes derided as a made-up or mythical disorder, Dr. Amen states “ADD is a neurobiological disorder

with serious psychological and social consequences. Children, teens, adults, and parents need to know: It’s not their fault. They didn’t cause it. There is hope.” (2001, p. 206) More information about, and resources on, ADD can be obtained from http://www.chadd. org/, and detailed information on Dr. Amen’s programs can be found at his website, www.brainplace.com.

Many of you are familiar with Dr. Amen’s late night advertisement for his program to improve one’s life by changing one’s brain. Fortunately, we’re learning the brain is quite responsive to experiences, so the brain/life relationship is a complex and interactive one. Attention Deficit Disorder is characterized by difficulty focusing, distractibility, disorganization, impulsivity, and, for some people, hyperactivity. In North America, approximately 3-5% of school aged children are diagnosed with ADD. In his book “Healing ADD: Breakthrough Program That Allows you to See and Heal the Six Types of ADD” (2001), Dr. Amen describes his belief there are actually 6 different types of Attention Deficit Disorder and he proposes a specific program for healing each. Dr. Amen uses biofeedback, which consists of training people to change their brainwave patterns. Based on research that suggests people with ADD symptoms have different brainwave patterns than the general population, Dr. Amen uses computerized biofeedback programs to train new brainwave patterns. One of the issues brain research has highlighted is when people with ADD try to concentrate, the “concentration” section in the brain turns off. Thus, the harder someone is trying to concentrate, the more difficult it could be. Brainwave biofeedback could teach someone to alter their brainwave patterns so concentration is easier. There is a greater likelihood of someone with untreated ADD to abuse alcohol and drugs later in life. This is likely an attempt to alter brainwave patterns through substance use. Unfortunately, the negative side effects can be much greater than the perceived benefit. In addition to self-medication with alcohol or drugs, people with ADD may develop unpleasant strategies to stimulate areas of his or her brain. For example, becoming

There are a few other points to consider when determining how much exercise you should be doing, says Tanja Shaw.

more than reduce your risk of lifestylerelated diseases, there are a few other points to consider when determining how much exercise you should be doing. 1. What is your goal? The time you spend exercising will depend on your goal. If you simply want health benefits, then adhering to CSEP’s recommendations is a good start. However, if you want to run a marathon, you’ll need to workout a bit more. According to the National Weight Control Registry, 90% of the people who lost weight and kept it off exercised, on average, one hour per day. They also followed a low calorie diet, ate breakfast each day, weighed themselves regularly and watched less than 10 hours of TV per week. If your goal is to lose weight, 150 minutes per week may still be enough- but that depends on a few different factors, listed below. 2. How intense are your workouts? The intensity of your workout is more important than the time spent. Think quality over quantity for maximum results. If you bump up the intensity, you can often reduce your workout duration. For example, 10-15 minutes of burpees and

squat jumps at maximum effort would count as a workout. On the other end of the spectrum, if you prefer to stroll instead of power walk, or socialize a bit while at the gym, you can probably exercise a little longer. 3. Are you exercising to make up for poor eating habits? If you answered yes, your efforts are in vain. The hours of exercise required to burn off extra calories is an unachievable goal for most. Even if you had the time and energy, your body would still not look or function as well as by following a sound eating plan. Give your body a break and say ‘no thank you’ to the second helping or doughnut, and hold the whipped cream on fancy coffees. 4. What is realistic to you? An hour a day at the gym sounds great in theory- but it may not fit well into your schedule. If you can’t commit a lot of time, commit your full effort to the time you have.

Wounded Warriors visit Chilliwack’s Chiefs

Eric J. Welsh, The Progress The Chilliwack Chiefs will face an angry opponent Saturday night as the Westside Warriors skate into Prospera Centre. A preseason pick to hang out with Penticton and Vernon atop the Interior conference standings, the Warriors have instead scuffled their way to a 7-9-0-3 record. A pair of losses last weekend left Westside to deal with a losing streak that has stretched to seven games. The Warriors are having trouble putting the puck into the net. Only the Langley Rivermen (39 goals) Trail Smoke Eaters (48) and Powell River Kings (58) have scored less than Westside (61). The Warriors have had issues keeping pucks out of their own net, with only Trail (105), Victoria (97), Salmon Arm (78), Prince George (75) and Langley (70) coughing up more goals against. Against Penticton last Saturday, the Warriors had no answer for Vees sniper Connor Reilly, who scored five of Penticton’s seven goals in a 7-4 win. Westside coach Rylan Ferster said the team is continuing to play hard for the most part, but just isn’t getting the hockey bounces. “It just starts with one win,” he told the Kelowna Capital News. “Again, we get a pretty good performance tonight (against the

Vees), we get four goals and we aren’t in the game from the first shot. It’s difficult.” The Chiefs and Warriors have met once previously this season. Chilliwack skated into Westside Oct. 8 and emerged with a 4-3 win. Derek Huisman had two goals, including the third period game winner. Trevor Hills and Spencer Graboski also scored for Chilliwack, while goaltender Bryton Udy stopped 41 of 44 shots. Of course, before the Chiefs get to Westside, they must face the Vernon Vipers tonight at Prospera Centre. The Vipers are likely to be ill-tempered, having dropped two straight to the Chiefs. Vernon also gets some reinforcements for this one, with forward Aaron Hadley and defenceman Luke Juha and Brett Corkey returning to the lineup. All three suited up for Canada West in the justcompleted World Junior A Challenge, helping their team to a gold medal. After going 0-4, including a pair of exhibition losses, Canada West rattled off three straight wins to record its first World Junior A Hockey Challenge title in four years. The Westerners doubled Canada East 4-2 in Sunday’s nationally televised gold-medal game at the Langley Events Centre. “We knew we had to be sharper going into the playoffs. We felt like we were letting people down with the way we were playing,” said Corkey. “As we got on the ice more and more we kind of gelled. We were running different systems than what we were used to.” Corkey, who wore an ‘A’ with Canada West, joked he was going to

hang his gold medal above Viper teammate Darren Nowick’s bed after the American-born sniper gleefully chirped the Viper trio after Canada West’s 6-1 loss to the U.S. in preliminary play last week. “To get the win while representing your country is an awesome feeling,” said Hadley, a Castlegar native who endured 16 straight days of hockey, including two-a-day practices under head coach Kent Lewis, before Sunday’s big win. “In the end it was worth it when you’ve got a gold medal around your neck.” The Vipers, second in

the Interior Conference at 13-5, are coming off a lacklustre 2-1 overtime win against the host Trail Smoke Eaters Saturday night at Cominco Arena. Nowick, who coleads the Vipers with 13 goals, collected the winner just 15 seconds into the second OT period. Mike Zalewski, Vernon’s other 13-goal man, set him up with a nice drop pass. “Wasn’t a great effort, but a win is a win,” said head coach Jason Williamson. “It was sloppy and not a lot of heart, but we found a way.” Get more at www. bchl.ca.

Scrappy Storm battle at provincials Chilliwack secondary school’s senior girls field hockey team finished 12th out of 16 teams at last week’s B.C. High School provincial tournament in Kelowna. The Storm were stuck in a tough pool, and opened the tourney against the eventual champion Handsworth Royals (North Vancouver). The result was a 7-0 loss. Chilliwack moved on to a match with Victoria’s Oak Bay secondary school, another title contender. They took another loss on the chin by a 6-0 score. In their last pool game, on Thursday morning, the reeling Storm girls suffered a 4-0 loss to the North Surrey Spartans. Chilliwack turned things around

in the consolation round, taking a 4-1 decision over the Eric Hamber Griffins Thursday afternoon. Chilliwack played Francis Kelsey secondary school (Mill Bay) in the consolation semi-final, battling the Breakers to a 2-2 draw through regulation time before losing 3-2 in penalty strokes. Chilliwack’s final game was against the Kelowna secondary school Owls. CSS forced another game to penalty strokes, where they lost 3-0. Coach Barb Kroeker was pleased with her team’s effort and the results. “We went into the tournament ranked 16th and we finished 12th, so it was a huge success for us,” she said.

Sports

G.W. Graham getting the gridiron game Eric J. Welsh, The Progress It has been nearly four decades since high school football was last played in Chilliwack. But starting in the fall of 2012, the Grizzlies are going to the gridiron. G.W. Graham middlesecondary school received official approval from B.C. High School Football early last week and will start with the launch of a junior varsity (Grades 9-10) team. A senior varsity (Grades 11-12) team will come online the following year. It is big news for Chilliwack, and a long, long time coming. In the spring of 2008, the Chilliwack Progress ran a series of articles questioning the lack of high school football in a community of 82,000. In one of those articles, G.W. Graham athletic director Jake Mouritzen listed several reasons for not having football at his school. At the time, he felt that adding football would kill off boys soccer and volleyball. Three years ago, the school had 60 boys in Grade 10, 70 in Grade 11 and zero in Grade 12. And that’s your football team right there,” Mouritzen noted. “But with our small population, it would be about the only thing we could run.” Things change. G.W. Graham has grown exponentially, and now has approximately 75 boys per grade from Grades 8-12. That’s more than enough to sustain successful junior and senior football teams. And the two sports Mouritzen was most concerned about destroying, soccer and volleyball, have simultaneously suffered a sharp decrease in participation. G.W. Graham didn’t run a volleyball program this year, nor did the school field a middle school soccer squad. The senior boys soccer team struggled with numbers, with several Grizzlies juggling high school and community soccer. There is a need for another fall sport and a fit for football that didn’t exist in the past. “2008 would have been my second year as athletic director, and I was not fully aware of what football brings,” Mouritzen added. “We’ve spent many hours talking with coaches and administrators from other schools, getting to see the positives of football, and no

longer do I believe that adding football will destroy programs.” The other perfectly legitimate issue GWG’s AD brought to the table three years ago was finances. The startup costs for a football program can be enormous, and the ongoing costs are nearly as daunting. In one of the Progress articles, Mission secondary school principal Jim Pearce cited a figure of $25,000 to start up the football program at that school. In 2008, G.W. Graham couldn’t have managed that without compromising other programs. Two years ago, Mouritzen and company had to scramble just to send their senior boys basketball team on an unexpected trip to provincials in Kamloops, running a frantic last-second fundraising campaign to make it happen. The reality is that athletic departments across the province are having to do more with less. In the wake of that basketball fiasco GWG formed a committee, mandated to raise money for athletics. Running a handful of events each calendar year, including a golf tournament and Test Drive a Ford event, the committee’s work has Mouritzen feeling the school can handle the financial bur-

den of football. “That basketball provincials was the eye opener for me, and following that we had to come up with a way to generate our own funds,” he said. “That committee is a lot of work, but it’s been a huge, huge addition to our athletic department. We’re confident that through our own work, with outside resources and the help of B.C. High School Football, we can add football without taking away from existing programs.” That’s a key point, because there will be people reading this and worrying about the impact on other areas of the school. Right or wrong, the perception is that the high price of football leads to less french horns in the music department, outdated textbooks in the classroom and all manner of budget-crunch compromises. “People have this question about where will this money come from, and none of it is textbook money,” Mouritzen said emphatically. “People need to understand that this money is generated through extra effort by people who wish to see our athletic department continue to grow.” G.W. Graham principal Diego Testa comes from a music-teaching background, and understands the concerns of those who believe arts programs are

an easy target when money is required. He firmly backed Mouritzen’s notion that the football program will be selfsufficient, and provided surprisingly staunch support for its introduction. “This school is into its sixth year, and we’re in a very different place now than we were three years ago,” he observed. “Any school, in its first 10 years, goes through remarkable changes in its culture, and we’ve made huge leaps and bounds forward since 2008. Early on, I think the culture of this school was still fragile, and you want to be mindful of how quickly you grow and the risks you take in that kind of environment. Now, we have a really positive culture that envelopes new programs and gives them a much better chance of succeeding.” Testa won’t be measuring the football program’s success simply based on wins and losses. “One of the first things I said was that we have a really great thing going here, we have a really well thought out philosophy on the role athletics has in the school and the concept of the student athlete,” he said. “We want to make sure we’re offering diverse opportunities for kids, but football also needs to fit into our existing culture and enhance that

culture.” G.W. Graham’s boss has first-hand experience on how beneficial football can be if it’s done well. His own son goes to W.J. Mouat secondary school in Abbotsford and started playing Grade 9 football this fall. “I never would have pegged him as a football player, but seeing what it’s done for him to help him find his place in a new school, to connect as a brand new student, I’ve been very grateful that he’s had that opportunity,” Testa said. “If there’s one thing we’ve learned in education, it’s that it’s absolutely critical for a student to be connected to their school community.” Laurie Smith will be the head coach at G.W. Graham. Smith helped the Chilliwack Minor Football peewee Giants to a provincial title last year and is part of the coaching staff of the provincial contending junior bantam Blue Giants this year. It was Smith who, after reading the Progress articles in 2008, approached G.W. Graham about starting a program. His interest in the game goes well beyond wins, losses, x’s and o’s. He sees the sport as a vehicle for changing lives. “The thing that marked that peewee provincial title

for me wasn’t the win, but the way our team was perceived as being overtly sportsmanlike — a team that focussed on character development and life lessons first,” he said. “My goal in coaching has been to make mentorship and character development number one, and I like football as a means not an end.” Smith has taken heat from community football people who are understandably hesitant to see high school football infringing on their territory. In a recent letter to the CMFA executive, Smith talked about why the high school route is so advantageous. “To me, boys ages 14-18 are at a difficult time in their lives. They are at a cross roads in terms of learning how to respect women, their parents, their friends, avoiding drugs and alcohol, being productive with their time and leisure pursuits,” he wrote. “They need to be valued as individuals yet find a place to fit. They need to learn about dedication, loyalty and self-sacrifice. High school has that concentration of time with teammates, and the tools to create something special in terms of a program that blends life skills, academics, character development and football.” Continued: FOOTBALL p/55

G.W. Graham will be holding a football information meeting Nov. 30 at 7 p.m. in the gymnasium. All parents, students and members of the community who are interested in learning more about the program are invited to attend.

Giants in VCFL championship

Chilliwack’s junior bantam Blue Giants pounded the Abbotsford Falcons 54-0 in a Valley Community Football League semi-final last Saturday, punching their ticket to this weekend’s VCFL championship game. Quarterback Nick Both had a record breaking day for the Giants, carrying the ball 14 times for 252 yards and six touchdowns. That’s not a misprint. Running back Emerson Smith added 86 yards and a major on three carries while Jake Hunter and Tyler Sprott had five carries apiece. The defense was outstanding, allowing only three Abbotsford first downs and 54 yards of net offense. AJ Sagrott and Jaren

Lengert led a stifling defensive line while linebackers Cyrus Tommy and Sam Meyer led the team in tackles. Defensive end Chris Derksen contributed relentless pressure and two sacks while corners Ethan Mastin and Connor Moore had their best games shutting down the Abbotsford pass game and outside run. The VCFL championship will be played at Samuel Robertson Technical School in Meadow Ridge at 4 p.m. Saturday. The 10-1 Giants and 10-1 Meadow Ridge Knights traded victories this season, with first place going to the Knights on a point differential. “We will work as hard as possible to get our boys ready for this big challenge,” noted head coach Mike Derksen. “It’s the league final and this is what we have played for all year.” The winner of this game will play the Vancouver Island zone team in the BC semifinal.

A rare Thursday home game against the Vernon Vipers kicks off what should be a tellVernon tale trio of game for the Chiefs this weekend. The Chiefs are in Merritt Friday night before returning to home ice Saturday to host the Westside Warriors. Westside Two things seem impossible right now in the race for the four available post season spots in the Interior Conference. Penticton will nott miss the playoffs and Trail will not make the playoffs. That leaves six teams, including the Chiefs and the three teams they’ll square off againstt over the next three days, to fight it out for three remaining spots. Starting the weekend the Chiefs are smack k dab in the middle of those six teams in fourth place in the conference with 21 points after 17 games. That puts them five points back of the second place Vipers but just four points ahead of the seventh place Salmon Arm Silverbacks. The Chiefs have played one fewer game than the Vipers and a minimum of two less than every other team in the conference. We shouldn’t forget that last year’s version of this franchise won just thirteen games while playing in Quesnel. The Chiefs have won 10 games so far this season. The job that Harvey Smyl and the rest of the hockey staff have done to turn things around is remarkable. There’s been lots of talk after Saturday’s game about Chiefs forward Trevor Hills and his three overtime goals so far this season. The Chiefs have won three of the four overtime k games they’ve played and have Hills to thank for all three winners. I’ve been asked if any Chilliwack Chiefs player has scored three overtime goals in a season before. The truth is, I don’t know but I hope to soon. Information like that is not readily available. I’m slowly working my way through hundreds of old Progress articles making notes on stufff like this. I can tell you that the team has only scored more than three overtime goals in a season five times, with the high being six during the 200001 season. They scored five once and four on three occasions. The most interesting Chiefs overtime statt I’ve found so far comes from the 1994-95 season when the Chiefs won just one overtime game when (and lost four) during the 60 game regularr season but won four OT games in 28 playofff games. Peter Zurba had two of the four playoff overtime goals that season and both were series winners on the road against Surrey and Cranbrook. Finally, how rare is Thursday’s game againstt Vernon? It is the Chiefs 490th regular season Vernon? home game in Chilliwack and the first to be played on a Thursday night. Feedback can be sent to jb@chilliwackchiefs.net. j @ f

Manning Park Resort has plans to open their alpine and nordic centres on the Dec. 10 weekend and the Manning Ski Club is rounding up new members for its season, which starts on Jan. 8. Club president Jim Hinton said on Sunday that the club has signed 20 members and is waiting on confirmation from four more. He anticipates a cap of 30. “I’ve been with the club for the last four years, since my son Jonathan was four years old,” explained the president. “I took the Canadian Ski Association coaching course, along with

about eight others — but most of them have now moved on, as their kids have grown out of the program. It’s open for ages four to 12 this year but used to be for ages five to 11. “B.C. Alpine offers coaching courses, so we’ll send a parent and an instructor to one,” added Hinton. “Mark Hemphill, of Abbotsford, is the head coach this year. “We’ve got families driving in from Langley, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope and Princeton — and those from west of the Port Mann, like my family, have cabins at Eastgate,” said Hinton, whose weekday home is near the base station of the Grouse Mountain gondola. “Manning is at least 1,000 feet higher than the North Shore mountains and it’s not so affected by the coastal

weather systems, so the snow is so much nicer. And Manning is way better for families,” said Hinton, who has had property at Eastgate for the last 17 years. The club has planned to start a ten-session season on Jan. 8, with training on Sundays. “We’ve set a registration cut-off for Nov. 1 for returning members and we’ll probably be signing eight or nine new members this season,” figured Hinton. It’s not for total beginners, though. “Kids have to be able to ski a green run — such as the Wagon Trail on the Blue Chair — and be comfortable with being away from their parents for four hours. “Manning has offered us various assistance in the past but they have seen the club as an asset to the hill this year and they have offered free

Strikers sting Surrey Nitro Chilliwack’s U-16 Strikers took gold at a Remembrance Day soccer tournament in Burnaby, finishing with a 1-0 win over a tough Surrey Nitro squad. The Strikers dominated territorially, but had trouble generating offence against a stingy Surrey defence. The Nitro had two or three defenders challenging Chilliwack’s midfield at every turn. Forwards were open, but the Strikers had trouble threading passes through a maze of Surrey legs.

When they did break through, they hurried their shots. While they out-chanced the Nitro 5-1, they couldn’t score in the first half. Persistence finally paid off as the final minutes ticked off the clock. With two minutes remaining in the game, Jade Emond sent the ball flying up the wing. Taylor Allen worked through two defenders in the corner and crossed the ball into the 18 yard box. It deflected to Haley Mainse, who smartly

one-timed a hard shot over the outstretched fingertips of the Nitro keeper. The U-16 girls made the trip to Burnaby with help from Amix Recycling, whose financial contribution paid for the tournament entry fee plus new alternate red jerseys. Chilliwack is on the road next week against Royal City United, whom they beat 2-0 earlier in the season. Get more youth soccer information online at www.chilliwackfc. com.

Midgets battle Canadians to draw The Fraser Valley Bruins of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League fought a talented Greater Vancouver Canadians squad to a 2-2 draw last Sunday in Ladner. The Bruins came into the game with four wins in 13 outings, facing a Canadians squad with a record of 8-4-3. After a scoreless first period, the Bruins got on the board in the second period on a goal by Mike Nolan. The Aldergrove native was set up by Chilliwack’s Bradley

King and Abbotsford’s Austin Edwards. The Canadians replied with two second period tallies of their own, scored by Arvin Atwal and Tyler Sandhu. Entering the third period down a goal, the Bruins got a break when the Canadians took a bench minor for too many men. On the ensuing power play, Mitch Skapski (Abbotsford) struck for the Bruins, with assists to Edwards and Nolan. On Saturday night the Bruins faced the same Canadians squad, dropping a 4-1 decision at MSA Arena in Abbotsford.

Skapski scored the lone Fraser Valley marker in the first period, with assists to Chilliwack’s Rylan Bechtel and Abbotsford’s Matt Revel. Alec Dawydiak and Cody Gordon had two goals apiece for Greater Vancouver. The Bruins come into this weekend ninth in the 11 team circuit with a record of 4-8-2. They’re on the road Saturday and Sunday, visiting the Castlegar and District Community Complex for back to back games against the Kootenay Ice (1-12-1).

ski passes for our members and 40 per cent off for other family members,” said Hinton. Program cost is $225 per child, with about half of the fee going to insurance through BC Alpine. The ski pass allows members to ski for free throughout the season. Hinton said the Nancy Greene program will be taught in three streams this year: level 1 for those new to the program; level 2 and 3 for those who can do parallel turns; and levels 3 to 5 or 6 for advanced skiers. “One challenge we have is the retention of older skiers, once they have grown out of the Nancy Green program,” said Hinton. “We have some skiers up to age 17 and for them we might be able to do some avalanche awareness work and back-country aware-

ness, such as working with transceivers and burying a backpack and letting them locate it and dig it up.” Hope’s Kevin and Michelle Chisholm and their family were involved with the Manning team for two years but they have chosen to just get season’s passes and enjoy the skills they have learned through the club. “Hannah is still young enough but David and Jacob have outgrown the program,” said Kevin on Monday. “We really benefitted from our years with the club, though,” he added. “The kids went from the bunny hill to black diamond in one year. We would have never been able to teach them how to ski that well in such a short period of time. “In two years, they learned to ski so well that we can ski as a fam-

ily now,” added Kevin. “I recommend it 100 per cent. It’s well run, with

great kids and there’s a real family orientation.”

Who joins Smith on the fledgling team’s coaching staff is yet to be determined, although Mouritzen already has someone from Manitoba relocating to the West Coast. Equipment options are being explored. “You go new with helmets, and we’ve talked with a few suppliers. The Riddell Speed Revolution helmet is the only five-star safetyrated helmet, and that’s what we’re hoping to go with,” Smith said. “Everything else, to some degree, you can pick up used or reconditioned. Langley secondary school paid $12,000 to start up their team, so it can be done at a lower cost.” The team will start at the AA level, competing against the likes of Robert Bateman (Abbotsford), Mission, Holy Cross (Surrey) and Langley. Home games to start will be played during daylight hours at G.W. Graham. Townsend Park and Exhibition Stadium may be longerterm options. As far as players go, Mouritzen was absolutely adamant that G.W. Graham will not be recruiting. “We’re 100 per cent opposed to that and have been from the day we opened our doors,” Mouritzen said. “G.W. Graham plans to follow all school district policies with regards to any students transferring to Graham in coming years.” Wherever his team plays and whoever they play, Smith can hardly wait for the off-field stuff to get done so he can get onto the field in August. “I can think of some kids that, in my view, the barricades that will prevent them from graduating are numerous,” Smith said. “Football is an avenue to get them there, to get them connected to the team for four years and see them graduate successfully from high school. That’s what I’m really looking forward to.”

KIRK Larry

Larry was born Walter Allan Lawrence Kirk, January 24th, 1943 in New Westminster, British Columbia. (Until

KIRK

his late teens he was known as Allan Moss.) He died on November 5th, 2011. Larry was raised by his grandmother and her second husband, Allan Moss Sr. in Burnaby and Vancouver. He had a special bond with Grandmother Leah and spoke warmly of her. His grandfather brought him out to Chilliwack on the InterUrban. They would fish for trout along the Hope Slough as far east as Rosedale. Larry spoke of working hard as a child at various jobs including breaking and delivering coal. He attended a Catholic elementary school and John Oliver High school. Larry left home at an early age and he continued to work at physically demanding jobs in various locations in Western Canada including lumbermills, mines and ranches. He also worked for the B.C. Forest Service. (He spoke of having “supported” a woman and her two children. Dates and details unknown.) Sometime in the 1970s Larry made the Upper Fraser Valley his permanent home. His remaining working years were spent as night auditor at the Chilliwack Empress Hotel, cutting, splitting and selling firewood and driving taxi. His hard working ways led to various health issues which continued to plague him until the end. In the 1980s when he was no longer able to work for money Larry moved into a small cabin beside the river upstream from the Vedder Bridge. Larry found it frustrating relying on the Ministry of Social Services. He had always been very independent and now he was beholden to a vast bureaucracy. At times, he seemed to thrive on the challenge of living on next to nothing. Larry found it hard to leave his cabin by the river but eventually a suitable apartment was found on Fletcher Street in Chilliwack. Things were pretty tight for a couple of years (he became part of Ruth and Naomi s Mission) but once he turned 65 his economic situation improved. Finally he was free of the Ministry and now with Old Age Security he had options that he hadn’t had for many years. Larry was a private man and so details of his life remain few. He loved the social sciences, appreciated and produced his own art, (he often commented on the colour of things) and enjoyed nature. He was a life-long learner and once he had the internet the entire world seemed to be his textbook. He tended to be so engrossed in the past that he sometimes found it difficult to live in the present. Larry was always the gentleman, polite and wellmannered. These positive characteristics continued to the end. He was appreciative and grateful for the medical and hospice care and the visits that he received during the few months of his diagnosed illness, (prostate cancer) which eventually lead to his death. Larry was predeceased by; his grandparents, Leah (nee Gooding) and Walter Augustus Kirk (and Allan Moss Sr.), his mother, Marie Kirk, uncles, Walter (Millie) and Lawrence (Hazel) and aunt Jean (Bill Headley). He is

survived by his half-brother, William Little and his wife Sharon, half-sister, Patricia Allan and her husband Douglas, nephew, Darrin, nieces, Jenine, Caroline and Jennifer, cousins, June, Evelyn, Mary, John, Jean, Linda, Jean and Bill. Larry s body was buried at the Kings Lake Memorial Cemetery in Clinton, B. C. A memorial for Larry is planned for 2:00 PM, Saturday, November 26, 2011 at “Ruth and Naomi s Mission,” 9302 Fletcher Street, Chilliwack, B.C.

SHUTTLEWORTH Noella Aurore

Born December 25th, 1918 (a special Christmas baby,) our beloved mother passed away SHUTTLEWORTH peacefully at Victoria General Hospital on November 12, 2011. She will be sadly missed by her three children, Joy, (Rob), Wendy, (Cliff) and Darryl, (Sara), her Grandchildren, Heather, (Don), Patrick, (Eileen) and Great Grandchildren, Daniel and Jacob. She was predeceased by her husband, Herb, in 1991. Our mother will aways be remembered for her wonderful zest for life, her enjoyment of outdoor activities, and the great joy she found in her many visits to Florida and Maine to visit family and friends. In her last fifty years she took up painting and would spend many happy hours creating works of art that adorn the walls of all of her children and grandchildren. To us they are treasures that will always bring back many happy memories. We would like to thank the staff at Valencia for their many kindnesses to our mother. We would also like to thank the very compassionate and caring staff at VGH during her final days.

In the late 1940’s Edna moved to Chilliwack and it was here that she met and married her husband, Fred Swinnard, in 1953. Sons David and Peter followed and the family spent the next 10 years travelling with the Canadian Army. The last posting was to Chilliwack where Fred retired. Edna continued to work in the O.R. at the Chilliwack General Hospital, where she was very well known for her baking, until her retirement in 1984. Edna spent her post retirement years spoiling her grandchildren and visiting Hawaii. Edna is lovingly remembered by her children David (Keli) and Peter (Karen); 4 grandchildren, Lisa, Alex (Lina), Stefanie (Daniel) and Jonathan; and a brother, George.
