Chilliwack man killed by CN freight train Robert Freeman The Progress A 49-year-old Chilliwack man was struck by a train and killed instantly early Wednesday morning, about 200 metres west of the railway crossing at Young Road. “At this point in the investigation it is not appearing to look suspicious,” Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said. Chilliwack RCMP were called to the scene at about 5:24 a.m. CN’s spokesperson in Vancouver said the freight train was heading westbound at the time of the incident, but she could not say whether the engineer had a chance to see the man on the tracks, or to blow the train’s whistle. Hollingsworth was also unable to confirm what the man was doing on the tracks. “We’re not sure of all the details yet,” she said. “The investigation continues.” Meanwhile, the man has been identified, but his name is not being released before next of kin are notified. Young Road and Broadway Avenue closed as Chilliwack RCMP and CN Police investigated the scene were re-opened at about 9:30 a.m.

‘No evidence’ Sto:lo shooting linked to child services: Grand Chief Hall Robert Freeman The Progress
governance structure free of politics, and an agreement delegating ministry authority for child welfare services in the Fraser Valley to the society was signed in December, 2010. But not all Sto:lo communities agree with the new agency. STC president Doug Kelly could not be reached for comment, but a reliable source described “turmoil” in aboriginal communities where delegated agencies are apprehending children, and parents are facing long court hearings with no money for legal help to get them back. “It’s not just here in the valley, but elsewhere where there are delegated agencies,” he said. “These communities are in turmoil.”

Sto:lo Nation president Joe Hall says there’s “no evidence at all” that a gunshot through a window of the nation’s administration building Monday is linked to child protection services. RCMP investigators agree. “At this point, there is no indication this was targeted,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said. “If this was an accidental discharge of a firearm, we are asking that person to contact us.” However, speculation remains that the single shot through the second-floor window where the child protection office is located
is linked to frustrations with the new agency, which still carries the Xyolhmeylh name. The new agency, operated by the Fraser Valley Aboriginal Children and Family Services Society, was created after the BC Children’s ministry took over child welfare services from Xyolhmeylh following the death of two-year-old Chassidy Whitford in 2002. Differences over child protection — particularly the practice of apprehending aboriginal children — led to the break-up in 2004 of the Sto:lo First Nation into the Sto:lo Nation and the Sto:lo Tribal Council. An independent board worked with the ministry to create the new

However, Hall said that agency staff “checked to see if there was any register of threats or complaints” at the Xyolhmeylh agency, “and none of those was found,” he said. “And on top of that, right now the RCMP are still doing investigations,” he added. “I think it’s premature that (the shooting) is even tied to the child family services,” he said. Meanwhile, police are releasing few details about the incident, but asking anyone with information to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Former B.C. A-Gs join push to legalize marijuana Jeff Nagel Black Press A coordinated push to legalize marijuana has gained the backing of four former B.C. attorneys-general, including B.C. Liberal Geoff Plant. The four – who include former NDP A-Gs Colin Gabelmann, Ujjal Dosanjh and Graeme Bowbrick – signed a letter to Premier Christy Clark and Opposition leader Adrian Dix calling for the regulation and taxation of cannabis to combat organized crime. They’re the latest high-profile additions to the Stop the Violence B.C. coalition campaign for pot decriminalization. The letter comes in the wake of a surge in Lower Mainland gang violence in recent weeks, including multiple shootings in Vancouver and Surrey.
It warns continued marijuana prohibition is the cause of much of the gang violence and more aggressive enforcement is not the solution. “The case demonstrating the failure and harms of marijuana prohibition is airtight,” their letter says, citing “massive profits for organized crime, widespread gang violence, easy access to illegal cannabis for our youth, reduced community safety and significant – and escalating – costs to taxpayers.” The only solution, they said, is to “move away from an unregulated and increasingly violent illegal market, which is largely controlled by organized crime and whose only motive is profit, and towards a strictly regulated legal market whose motive is public health and safety.” The former A-Gs also expressed dismay that B.C. is supporting
the federal move to mandatory minimum sentences for minor pot offences, saying misguided prosecutions will further strain an already clogged system without reducing pot use or prohibitionrelated violence. Plant, who served from 2001 to 2005, said in an interview he’s glad he was approached by Stop the Violence campaigners and hopes the coalition gathers more momentum. “I have always had a problem with using criminal law to punish a behaviour that one does to yourself – including growing a plant in your backyard and smoking it,” he said. Plant said he believes the fallout of pot prohibition has worsened since he was B.C.’s chief prosecutor. “It’s causing more gang problems and more gang violence,” he said. “It’s increasingly permeating
every aspect of the economy of the province.” Plant said Canada must recognize the war on cannabis has failed and that “all criminalization does is feed the profits of gangsters” by making the drug trade more lucrative. Change must ultimately come from Otawa, he said, adding provincial leaders focused on sustaining the flow of federal grants are unlikely to rock the boat. “This is a one-step-at-a-time project,” Plant said. “I don’t think the federal-provincial policy is going to change tomorrow. But if we continue to gather strength, sooner or later, the federal government will listen.” While federal Conservatives show no sign of softening on the issue, Plant said he thinks Prime Minister Stephen Harper could yet lead the country to marijuana
policy reform. He called Harper an “astute politician” who will ultimately follow where the people lead. A recent Angus Reid poll found 77 per cent of B.C. residents said marijuana possession should not be a criminal offence. Stop the Violence BC previously coordinated calls for pot reform from senior health officers and exVancouver mayors. The coalition has the backing of various academic, legal, law enforcement and health experts. Questioned Tuesday by reporters, Premier Christy Clark said she will leave the debate on marijuana policy reform to the federal government. Current Attorney General Shirley Bond maintained police efforts to combat gang violence are working.
ing, embroidering, and beading together. “It’s so much fun; it’s just like a big family,” said Don. At the shoots, “you walk around the camp all night long talking to people, there’s a potluck dinner, council fires. People love it.” Once the bullets are stocked, their possibles bags are packed with black powder, a black powder measure, cotton patches to wrap around the bullet, a short starter, ram rod, nipple wrench, and at least 30 bullets of varying weights depending on their guns of choice. The club has been in Chilliwack for 40 years; Don believes its staying power will continue. “It’s such an inexpensive sport,” he said. “You can’t buy a rifle anywhere today under $1,000, but you can get black powder guns for a
couple hundred dollars. The cotton patches are nothing, the lead is free... we find it, we melt it.” The winter rendezvous is on Feb. 18 and 19 at Chilliwack Fish and Game Range. For more information, call 604858-9424 or email yvon-don@shaw. ca. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Black powder enthusiasts channel the past Katie Bartel The Progress The Black Powder Club is a throwback to days of yore. Nineteenth century yore. Several times throughout the year, its members hike into the backcountry wearing traditional civil war attire: frock coats, hooded compotes, brain tan leather jackets, ribbon dresses, and wide brimmed bonnets to keep the sun off their prized porcelain skin. With them, they carry bows and arrows, tomahawks and knives, black powder flintlocks and percussion caplocks. Not exactly a typical sighting for modern day Chilliwack. But this weekend, that’s exactly what will be seen in the Chilliwack River Valley. Members are loading up their possibles bags for the annual Fraser Valley Frontiersmen Winter Rendezvous being held at the Chilliwack Fish and Game Range. In preparation, Don and Yvonne Brown were stocking up on ammo for their black powder guns last week. Outside on their front porch, Don, president of the Fraser Valley Frontiersmen, carefully dropped a handmade molten lead ingot into the piping hot melting pot. “It’s almost like melting wax,”
he laughed. “It’s so hot right now, it’s gone almost from the second you drop it in.” Don holds a wood-handle, steel bullet mold under the pot and presses down on a lever to get the melted lead flowing. Once the two circular slots are filled, he eases up on the lever and cranks the mold’s shaft with a stick. Too hot to touch, he bangs the mold down on the table, and out pops two perfectly round 45-calibre silver bullets. He repeats the process. “The purer the lead the better; you want a nice soft plumber’s lead because it shoots better,” said Don, who melts down lead from scrap window weights, lead solder in stained glass, sheet lead, plumber’s lead, and other leads found in the waste of demolished houses. The Browns have been casting their own bullets since 1999 when they first joined the club at the suggestion of a friend. They were only planning on staying a couple of hours, but soon fell in love with the intricacies of the old-time black powder world. Thirteen years later, the walls in their house are covered with medals, plaques, ribbons, and arrows won at events. Nearly half their bedroom has been taken over by authentic civil war wear (only wool and cotton, no synthetics) that Yvonne spends hours sew-

feathered friends in the valley, and a major rethink of government policies around prevention and containment. Foundation president Pierre-Gerlier Forest said the mentor’s job “in addition to sharing their extensive knowledge and experience” is to “help accelerate (their) careers by introducing them to valuable professional and social networks.” Strahl, who was the MP in Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon for 16 years and held three cabinet portfolios, has plenty of experience and professional networks to share. “It’s not like being an advisor,” Strahl said. “You try to do a couple of things, one is to expose them to the real world.” “You can have a good program,” he explained, “but if it never becomes policy or legislation ... I explain to them how it’s done.” Strahl joins two other British Columbians among the 10 mentors named for 2012: Cindy Blackstock, a member of the Gitksan Nation, and Paul Kariya, a former director of DFO’s aboriginal fisheries.
The other mentors are: Elizabeth Beale, Phillippe Couillard, Len Crispino, Frances Lankin, Daniel Lessard, Bernard Richard, and John Sims. The Tr udeau Foundation started in 2001 as a memorial to the late prime minister, and was endowed by the Canadian government the next year with $125 million, unanimously supported by the House of Commons. For their 18-month term, the mentors are offered a $20,000 honorarium, which Strahl said a “good portion” of his will go to charities. The mentors also meet their selected scholars several times during the year, sometimes in distant locations, so a further $15,000 is available to cover costs of participating in the program. Strahl noted his first destination was “exotic” Victoria. But he added that he’s “hopeful” the program proves “useful” to the scholars and will result in some tangible benefits to the nation. “I think that will be the case,” he said. rfreeman@theprogress.com

Former MP Chuck Strahl has been named a mentor to promising scholars by the Pierre Elliot Trudeau Foundation. That’s right, a foundation named after the famously Liberal prime minister of Canada has asked the famously Conservative MP from Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon to personally
monitor “promising doctoral students who have been identified as future leaders.” “My heart skipped a couple of beats,” Strahl confessed, when he received the invitation. Wary of the Liberal tag, Strahl said he called a former colleague, a deputy minister of finance, who’d already done a stint as mentor, and asked him just what was he getting himself into. “Is this a Liberal lovefest, or what?” Assured that it was nothing of the sort, Strahl accepted the invitation and met his “promising doctoral student” for the first time last weekend in Victoria. “It’s not a political thing,” Strahl said. “These scholarships are based on applications that cover everything imaginable.” Strahl’s scholar is studying Avian Flu, a subject the MP is very familiar with since he dealt with an outbreak here in the Fraser Valley in 2004 when he was the agriculture minister. The outbreak forced the “depopulation” of some 19 million chickens, turkeys and other

Premier Christy Clark slips a message into the time capsule contained in the Black Rod, in a ceremony with Lieutenant Governor Steven Point and Speaker Bill Barisoff. JOHN YANYSHYN/VISIONS WEST
Unique symbol celebrates Queen’s reign Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – The roar of cannon in a 21-gun salute usually heralds the opening of a legislative session, but this week's ceremony was a unique tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. The B.C. legislature marked the Queen's 60th anniversary on the throne Tuesday by reviving a tradition of the Crown's representative, Lieutenant Governor Steven Point, seeking permission to enter the elected chamber. After six knocks on the door, Point and Sergeant-At-Arms Gary Lenz were admitted to bring in a new symbol of the Lieutenant
Governor, the Black Rod. Made from seven types of wood indigenous to B.C. and decorated with a jade carving by Tsimshian elder Clifford Bolton, the Black Rod will be brought into the legislative chamber whenever the Lieutenant Governor enters to read throne speeches or give royal assent to legislation. The rod contains a copper time capsule with messages from senior government officials of 2012, to be opened and read in 2072. The many intricate decorations include a coin made of B.C. silver, a tradition that dates back to 1871, the year B.C. joined confederation.

Political scientist Hamish Telford is placing his bet — if he were a gambling man — on the BC Conservatives to win the upcoming byelection in Chilliwack-Hope. “If the Conservatives don’t win, it suggests maybe the party is not ready for prime time,” Telford, head of UFV’s political science department, told The Progress last week. He believes the “odds are stacked” against the BC Liberals holding the riding because of “broad dissatisfaction” among voters with the party’s performance in government, plus the very nature of byelections. Voters tend to see these “mini-referendums” as a chance to send a message to government - without causing the government to fall, he said. That’s an observation borne out by the 35 years that have passed since a B.C. government candidate won a byelection. Telford said it would be “a huge upset” if the New Democrats were able to find a voting majority among the conservative residents in ChilliwackHope. “If the NDP get Chilliwack, everything they say about vote-splitting will appear to be true,” he said. But the division of conservative votes between the BC Liberals and the BC Conservatives “has to be exactly right,” he said, to give the NDP that magic majority. Continued: ELECTION/ p15

Jennifer Feinberg Building self-esteem and resiliency are key components of a girls’ empowerment group developed by the Ann Davis Transition Society in Chilliwack. Girls’ group — or just “group” as the girls like to call it — meets at the ADTS offices on Monday afternoons, led by counsellor Terresa McKenzie. For 17-year-old Kina, group has become like a sisterhood. The sessions have ranged from guided instruction, to recreation, crafts and group activities. “I knew it was about empowerment and that’s what I wanted — something that would boost my confidence,” Kina said. The myth that girls are always “catty” with each other was tossed out when it didn’t hold up to reality. “I was worried it wouldn’t be as positive as I needed it to be. But it totally was — and even more.” It’s such a good atmosphere that Kina ended up as the first member to lead a session, in this case, on eating disorders. “I had coached sports before and taught ESL, so I guess I had a bit of an instructional background,” she said. Fellow group member Caitlin immediately responded with a sup-

Workshop takes collaborative look at river concerns Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The challenges and opportunities provided by the Lower Fraser River will come out in sharp relief at a collaborative workshop in Chilliwack on Friday, Feb. 17. Reps from local First Nations, business, industry, government, environmental groups and residents will be heading to the Shxwhà:y Village Hall
to offer input on a range of river issues. Presenters include professor Michael Church, Soowahlie Chief Otis Jasper, historian Ron Denman and Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz with lunch and workshop to follow. Organizers are looking for input on river issues and for ideas on where collaboration is needed. The subject matter will range from diking and flood mitigation, to fisheries, water flows
and stream productivity. The workshop is Feb. 17, from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m, with lunch provided. The location is Shxwhà:y Village Hall, 44680 Schweyey Road at the west end of Wolfe Road in Chilliwack.

Health-care realities Hospitals in the Fraser Health region are chronically overcrowded. Patients regularly are parked in hallways and emergency wards – sometimes for days. Those uncomfortable – and sometimes risky – realities will be the focus of a panel of external experts who will examine hospital congestion and make recommendations. It isn’t likely this group will uncover major solutions that haven’t already been identified and implemented. A number of progressive initiatives to deal with hospital congestion have been recently undertaken by Fraser Health, including pay-forperformance funding to reward hospitals for increasing efficiency, and a push for patient home support rather than hospital stays. Yet, despite those efforts, emergency visits are up 7.3 per cent so far this year and patient days spent in hospitals in the region are up five per cent. Clearly, demand is outstripping facilities and resources. And the pressure is going to continue to rise, as Fraser Health estimates it will gain another 327,000 residents, or 20 per cent more, by 2020. Meanwhile,
The Chilliwack
the population of seniors over age 65 is forecast to balloon 50 per cent by 2020 to more than 100,000. The “quick” solution is to build more hospital capacity. However, that requires vast sums of money – from a cash-strapped government already running deficit budgets and facing increasing debt, in a less than dynamic economic climate. The armchair quarterbacks will lob off criticisms anchored in hindsight, and vague “stop wasting money” bromides, which of course don’t address the specifics, nor the billions of dollars required for expanded hospital infrastructure, and the professionals required to staff it. Make no mistake, hospital overcrowding is only one aspect of B.C’s overall health care challenge, which currently gobbles $18 billion, or more than 40 per cent of the entire provincial budget. As this new panel of experts will confirm, there are no easy answers to the present model of health care delivery, which increasingly appears to be unsustainable. It’s time to get real with a national step toward expanded forms of fee~ Black Press for-service.

British Columbia is floating on a sea of gas VICTORIA – Premier Christy Clark’s recent fanfare about developing a natural gas export industry in northern B.C. included a major change in electricity policy. Last year Clark’s government forced BC Hydro to trim its operations and keep its next two annual rate increases below four per cent. Part of the savings will come from redefining former premier Gordon Campbell’s climate strategy, which required BC Hydro to be self-sufficient in even low-water years, with no net electricity imports. The target is now self-sufficiency in average-water years, limiting expansion of independent power projects. It also means B.C. will import more gas-fired electricity in the coming years, and burn some of its own abundant gas to generate new power up north. North America finds itself float-

ing on a sea of shale gas. Campbell’s plan entailed using B.C.’s big dams to stabilize and store power from new intermittent sources of hydro and wind, building the Site C dam on the Peace River and expor ting clean energy at a premium in a carbon-priced North American market. Both the carbon market and the export market Tom have evaporated. FLETCHER While B.C. was developing runof-river to sell to California, the U.S. west coast built new capacity, much of it gas fired, after an electricity crisis that caused brownouts more than a decade ago. Today, Washington state producers are actually paying BC
Hydro to take their excess power because they need to move it into the grid, and B.C. is the only place that can store it using dam capacity. NDP energy critic John Horgan is celebrating this change in BC Hydro policy. He says the government made a multi-billion-dollar miscalculation by assuming California’s electricity shortage would continue indefinitely, and surplus power would be profitable. He says independent power contracts are part of BC Hydro’s current financial problems, but political interference in planning is the bigger issue. Horgan would not endorse the Wilderness Committee’s call to cancel electricity purchase contracts BC Hydro has signed for more run-of-river developments. Additional projects are planned for the Upper Lillooet, Upper Toba and Harrison Rivers in southern
B.C., and the Kokish River on northern Vancouver Island. Most are aboriginal partnerships. Energy Minister Rich Coleman told me no contracts will be cancelled, and he rejected my suggestion that BC Hydro could end up with too much power in the wrong places and at the wrong time of year. BC Hydro can move power around as well as store it, and that ability will improve when the smart grid is completed. Independent power doesn’t end there. It shifts to northern B.C., where three liquefied natural gas projects will need output equivalent to two and a half Site C dams to operate. Coleman confirmed that at least one modern gas-fired power plant will be needed to develop LNG, which is expected to be in business before Site C could be built. That powerhouse will likely be built by the LNG developers,

and used to back up new intermittent sources of offshore and land-based wind and any river or geothermal sites available along a new northwest power line. B.C. will likely have a second gas-fired power plant in the northeast corner, to supply the Horn River shale gas development and processing plant now under way. Coleman says that plant should be able to capture carbon dioxide and sequester it deep underground. Fort Nelson and points north will remain off the BC Hydro grid. Even with carbon capture in the northeast, Campbell’s greenhouse gas targets look to be the next part of his legacy to be abandoned.

Who to trust on global warming the ice caps are actually getting bigger. But in all seriousness, Sun News TV, like its American soulmate Fox News, seems only too happy to grant love-in interviews to dubious groups like the International Climate Science Coalition (ICSC) and its director, creepy former energy lobbyist and PR guy turned astroturfroots organizer Tom Harris, who seek not to resolve the debate about global warming, but to encourage the notion that a legitimate argument still exists. They suggest that because some of the many scientists studying the issue of global warming disagree, the central theory that human activity is altering our atmosphere is false. In reality, scientists disagree a lot. Doubt is the basis of all scientific progress. About whether or not humans are changing the atmosphere and climate of our planet, however, there seems to be increasingly little doubt within the credible scientific community. ICSC would like you to believe that
global warming is a conspiracy cooked up by Al Gore, David Suzuki, ultra-left socialists and wind turbine manufacturers. With respect, I suggest that Mr Daher is being slickly and professionally lied to by a very powerful and interlocking group of business interests. There is quite literally trillions of dollars at stake in making people believe that global climate change simply doesn’t exist, and drastic action on our part is definitely not required. The denial exists on many levels. It’s not a conspiracy, it’s just business – a convenient untruth (to mangle Gore) – and if there is a hell then the marketing minds behind this shameful deception have standing reservations there. Neither camp is above stretching the facts but ask yourself, who has the most to gain from outright lying to me, the vast majority of the earth’s scientists and environmentalists, or a military-industrial-media complex fueled by oil? Greg Davis, Chilliwack
Media must do better reporting climate change I’m getting so tired of reading letters from people like Art Daher (“Hot air about global warming” Progress Feb. 14/12) who accuse the media of not reporting fairly on the global warming issue, then rely on totally bias information to support their claims. Mr. Daher, are you not aware that Sun News TV is referred to as “Fox News North” and is headed by Kory Teneycke, who was the Director of Communications and Chief spokesman for
Prime Minister Steven Harper? Are you also not aware that “Ethical Oil” was founded by Alykhan Velshi, who surprisingly enough, was the Director of Planning for Stephen Harper’s office. (Do you see a bit of a pattern here?) Did you know that Stephen Harper and his father Joseph, both worked for Imperial oil? Are you not aware that Stephen Harper is a huge supporter of the oil industry? Knowing these facts do you think it might be reasonable
to suspect that a program you watch on Sun News might be just a bit biased? Because of your reliance on biased information, I challenge you to provide the names of the “most respected climatologists, scientists who have pointed out the erroneous information that the global warming politicians have foisted on us.” whom you refer to in your letter. As far as I have read, the legitimate climatologists, who have their work peer reviewed, are pret-
ty much in agreement about global warming. But let’s see who you are relying on for your information, so we can make a fair assessment. I’m betting those scientists you refer to will be as biased as Sun TV. In my opinion, for what it is worth, the media has not reported near enough information on the peer reviewed science in this area, because they waste time and space with the opinions of quacks and those with hidden agendas.

INFO
In his recent letter to the editor (“Hot air about global warming”, The Progress, Feb. 14), Art Daher asserted that global warming is bunk, and in fact the world is growing colder, not warmer. Mr. Daher’s letter frequently made reference to “evidence”, “respected climatologists” and “scientific facts” without ever identifying any of them, so I was unsure about where he was getting his information. But then, he did mention Sun News as one of the sources of his enlightenment. Being without cable television at home, I was blissfully unaware of Sun News TV, but naturally all their stuff is available online so I briefly immersed myself in Sun’s version of “news”. And then I went and took a shower. For anyone who needs a (dark) laugh, surf over to www.sunnewsnetwork.ca and watch the video entitled “True Science”. Betcha didn’t know that passionate environmentalists are actually sulking, misanthropic losers bent on the extinction of the human species, did ya? Or that

“We made the decision to support the Ann Davis Transition Society’s Girls’ Group program because they developed an innovative way to help young girls make smart life choices and navigate this turbulent time with confidence.” Yoga has helped the girls develop a positive body image and other facilitators and counsellors lead sessions on nutrition, fitness, personal care, abuse awareness, safety plans, understanding emotions, leadership, and communications skills. Group takes the holistic approach. “This program encourages positive emotional, social, mental, spiritual and physical development,” said McKenzie, an ADTS counsellor. Group also looks at various life choices and their impact on relationships and perspectives, and the group offers ways to gain the life skills and resiliency needed in order to be successful. Participants gain valuable knowledge, skills and support from one another in addition to the friendships that come about through group. Brianna Payne, who was an inaugural participant, got something positive out of the experience. “Girls Group is a safe place where you can go be yourself and not feel judged or that you need to prove something.”

New Canadians pool their talents for Women of the World Fair Katie Bartel The Progress A business fair being held in Chilliwack is an opportunity to showcase several of the community’s small businesses owned and operated by new Canadians. The first annual Women of the World Fair is on Friday, Feb. 24 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at Sutton Business Centre on the corner of Young Rd. and Princess Ave. Several small businesses, ranging from Mexican import products, catering, mural painting, jewelry, henna art, local pork and pepperoni, Dutch cheeses, and more will be promoting their products and services. Twenty-one businesses will be represented. “We have some really cre-
ative immigrant businesses in Chilliwack and this is an opportunity for the exhibitors to showcase their businesses,” said Janet Les, co-founder of Chilliwack’s Women of the World. Women of the World (WoW) is a social network for immigrant women that was started in 2008 by Les, who works with immigrants through Chilliwack Community Services, and her cousin Doutzen Hofstede. Hofstede had been attending a similar group in Abbotsford and noticed that several other immigrant women from Chilliwack were also attending. She felt Chilliwack needed a Chilliwack specific club. Ever y month, on the last Friday of the month, the group gathers to socialize, discuss different topics, meet new people, and practise their English.
“A lot of woman arrive in Chilliwack and sometimes they don’t know anyone,” said Les. “And it’s not always easy making friends. But at these meetings, it is very easy.” Last month, the event had 20 women in attendance from 14 countries, including Iran, Netherlands, Romania, Sudan, Jamaica, Switzerland, Turkey, Germany, Ethiopia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Paraguay, South Korea and Canada. “We are a diverse group,” said Les. “For some women, a major incentive to come to WoW is to practice their English conversation skills. WoW is for people who are interested in multiculturalism, and in learning from each other.” For more information, contact Janet Les at janetles@shaw. ca.

“If the Liberals pull this out of the bag, it will be quite a shot of adrenalin for them,” Telford said. He admitted this riding’s support of the BC Liberals government’s HST policy — while most of the province voted against keeping the tax — is “a good counterpoint” to his prediction of a BC Conservative win. The NDP has a solid base of support in the riding, he said, but it’s not expected to grow while voters’ general dissatisfaction with the BC Liberal government and the “mini-referendum” nature of a byelection favours the BC Conservatives. “I think there’s enough of a movement afoot ... that (the BC Conservatives) might be able to pull it off,” he said. Telford said he doesn’t expect a date for the byelection to be announced by the premier until a new budget is presented to the legislature, giving the party a high-profile platform for the campaign in Chilliwack-Hope.

An angry rift has developed between legal aid lawyers who are staging an escalating strike to press the government for more funding and those who have opted to continue serving lowincome clients. Some in the usually staid and amicable legal profession have even taken to calling colleagues “scabs� for refusing to join the job action. “I’ve certainly heard people saying it,� said Bentley Doyle, spokesman for the Trial Lawyers Association of B.C. “Some people are very upset.� The term isn’t accurate, he said, because participating lawyers aren’t a true union. And he said the aim should be to welcome more converts to intensify pressure on the province to provide more money for the underfunded legal aid system. “This is not about inflaming things,� Doyle said. “We want to attract more people to the cause.�
Participating legal aid lawyers are refusing to represent new adults arrested on criminal charges who cannot afford their own lawyer. They withheld service for one week in January and the first two weeks of February. The strike ramps up to three weeks in March and then all of April. Doyle said there are hundreds of lawyers across B.C. supporting the legal aid strike and roughly 50 continuing to provide service. He said there are four lawyers at the Surrey courthouse continuing to provide legal aid, as well as three in North Vancouver, two in Port Coquitlam and a couple in Richmond. Vancouver courts also have three legal aid lawyers still working, but they can’t possibly represent all the clients seeking help there. “North Vancouver and Surrey are areas where we’re not strong,� he said. “But we’re very strong in Vancouver and the Interior and up north.�

more personal time to fight the job action in March and April. McCullough said it’s “bizarre� for private lawyers – who are independent businesses – to use the word “scab� or to purport they act as a unified force. Although Doyle suggested importing outside lawyers is adding to the costs of the strike, Legal Services Society executive director Mark Benton said legal aid lawyers must visit some communities anyway, so travel costs aren’t unusual and any extra incurred has so far been minimal. He said overall legal aid costs are actually down significantly because the society isn’t paying for as much service during the strike. Benton said criminal duty counsel spending was $63,000 in the first week of January, down from $80,000 for the same period a year ago. “Any under-spend on our part continues to be part of the Legal Services Society’s resources,� Benton added. “We reallocate those to other services where we can.� The strike does not apply to legal aid areas such as family and immigration law.

Doyle said New Westminster and Chilliwack courts are under a full withdrawal of local legal aid lawyers on designated weeks. He said the job action began with 38 of B.C.’s 82 court houses under a full legal aid withdrawal, adding that increased to 53 in February. The Legal Services Society of B.C., which administers legal aid with the budget assigned by the province, has responded by dispatching outside lawyers to go to the trouble spots to fill in. Among them is Victoria lawyer Kevin McCullough, who said he and partners from his firm – McCullough Blazina Dieno Gustafson & Watt – have succeeded in maintaining normal legal aid service levels in Surrey, Vancouver and Victoria. McCullough said he’s not willing to withdraw what he calls “emergency� legal aid services from people arrested in criminal cases who may otherwise be stuck in jail. He said he’s already given up holiday time this year to provide legal aid during the strike weeks and will sacrifice

Reno blitz helps daycare Playing to Learn Childcare and Junior Kindergarten is getting a facelift. Through the support of Home Depot, Chilliwack, this daycare will receive a makeover. Home Depot’s Community Services arm provides 10,000 hours of community service within the province of BC. Team Depot has18 of their staff ready to take on the task of replacing the flooring, repainting the facility and building new shelving. Playing to Learn Childcare and Junior Kindergarten provides enhanced programming designed to facilitate children’s growth. The caring and nurturing Early Childhood Educators (ECE’s) provide a wide variety of learning opportunities. “Our teacher’s aim is to make children’s first experiences happy and educational.” says Natasha Lundgren, daycare owner. “We provide activities that promote all aspects of physical, social and cognitive development and emotional well-being.” Playing to Learn Childcare & Junior Kindergarten was established through the assistance of Community Futures Sun Country. That support was invaluable in developing a cohesive business plan and in giving the daycare the tools necessary to succeed. “Young children ‘learn through play’, so the majority of programming is ‘play based’, says Lundgren. “We put a great deal of thought and preparation into all of our educational activities.” In the near future the facility will be providing healthy, balanced lunches and snacks designed by a nutritionist with Canada’s Food Guide in mind. Says Lundgren: “Our well loved daycare was starting to look a little tired, so we are grateful to Home Depot for their generous donation and I appreciate their significant involvement in the community. Home Depot has given us a gift that will be appreciated by many families for years to come. We are excited to show off our new facility and we look forward to welcoming your children.” Playing To Learn Childcare & Junior Kindergarten will be holding an open house to reveal their makeover on Saturday, March 10 from noon to 4 p.m.. Join them for refreshments and take the tour at 45446 Reece Ave, Chilliwack.

Jason Lum: Community engagement Jason Lum is a young, successful entrepreneur who credits his success to his parents. “Both of my parents influenced my life in a most positive way. They are both good people who taught me the meaning of hard work,” he said proudly. For the first three years of his life, Jason Ana grew up MACEDO in Fort Langley. He moved to Abbotsford for the next six years and then the Lum family relocated to Yarrow, where he continues to live to this day. “My grandparents led the charge by retiring up in Ryder Lake and then my aunts and uncles followed and finally my immediate family decided to move here as well,” he said. His uncle owned the IGA in Fort Langley and from the time that Jason was about 11, he would wake up early on a Saturday morning to head off to work with his father. “I used to clean up around the store and I also wrapped meat. As I got
older, I began working in the vegetable department.” The eldest of four children, Jason concedes that at the time, he probably didn’t appreciate getting up early and having to work but looking back on those days, he realizes that it was a special time in his life. “I got to drive in alone with my dad and we got to work together. That’s pretty cool because not too many kids get that chance,” he reflected. Jason recalls his youth with great fondness. “I couldn’t have asked for a better place to grow up. I was into sports and as kids; we’d get on our bikes and just tear around. Kids from the neighbourhood built the original skate park in Yarrow and I’m so pleased to see how busy the new skate park has become,” he enthused. School was an adventure for Jason; one that he quite enjoyed. “I was into history and English and had designs on becoming a history teacher after graduation. I had also taken entrepreneurial classes and Gary Wall was a great teacher. He treated us like adults and I received some very fundamental life skills training,” he

Jason Lum originally had thoughts of becoming a history teacher. Jenna Hauck/ Progress
enthused. Although math was not his strong suit, he somehow became involved in Sardis Senior Secondary’s pilot project whereby students were being offered a chance to become CISCO certified. “They started looking for students in the math classes first and I wasn’t good at math but somehow I ended up in the program. It was a difficult course and at that time it was just getting its legs. You needed at least 80 per cent on the test and I was only one of five to pass the course,” he explained. Continued: LUM/ p22

LUM from p21 CISCO is a large corporation that produces computer networking products and services and with the certification behind him, it was easy for Jason to land work experience at the City of Chilliwack. After graduating in 1999, Jason went on to attend UCFV with the intent of becoming a history teacher but the dream was dashed when he was offered full time employment in the City of Chilliwack’s IT department. “I decided to take the job and remained there for the next eight years. I continued taking programs to upgrade my knowledge which was something that I wanted to do and that the City expected me to do. Needless to say, I learned a lot,” he said. By 2004, Jason was

ready to move on and decided to start his own company known as Myriad Information Technologies. A year after launching his business, he joined the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce and a year after that; he joined their Board of Directors. By 2009, he was voted in as head of the board, receiving the distinction of being one of the youngest Presidents in the Chamber’s 108 year history. Jason has always been politically aware. He recognized his grandmother to be quite politically astute and this had some influence on him. “Grandma always instilled the importance of civic awareness and responsibility in her children and grandchildren,” he said. Having landed a seat on Council is something that he doesn’t take too lightly. “Municipal politics is very important because it represents a front line delivery model. I believe that all three levels of government have a responsibility to work together. I got into it
with eyes wide open and I knew what I was getting into.” This young politician had actually considered running for Council back in 2008 but upon reflection decided that it wasn’t quite the right time. “I believe that you need a history of community service and I wanted a bit more time to become directly involved in the community.” With the confidence that he had done just that, and with the support of his wife and family, he is pleased to have been afforded the opportunity during November’s election. “My desire to serve comes from a genuine love of this community. Chilliwack is a place of possibility. This is what attracted my grandparents and my parents here and it’s what keeps me here,” he said, rather passionately. These days, he’s genuinely busy with all of his council appointments which include liaison to the Cultural Centre, chair of the Transportation Committee, vice-chair of the Housing Committee,
appointee to the Fraser Valley Treaty Advisory Committee and vicechair of the Downtown Implementation Committee. He’s also an alternate on the board of the Fraser Valley Regional District, an alternate on the Hospital Board and on the executive of the Lower Mainland Local Government Association. “I am busy but I’m really enjoying it. I love it, actually,” he beamed. Although he doesn’t have much free time these days, he makes time to enjoy his other passions, namely music and gardening. “I also love to travel. I credit my wife with this passion of mine because before I met her, I was quite the homebody. Since we’ve been together, I’ve been to Europe three times; I’ve travelled to China, all through the South Pacific and Ireland. Travelling is a great way to expand your horizons. You appreciate other cultures and people and ultimately what you have. I am looking forward to my next adventure,” he laughed.

Wacky comedy Thursday night in Chilliwack
Cindy Stiffon is following her “heart” in her first solo exhibit which opens Feb. 18 in the Chilliwack Art Gallery.
Getting to the heart of the matter The Progress Every piece in the show started off as a photograph. ‘Following My Heart’ is the name of the new exhibit of enhanced photography in the Chilliwack Art Gallery featuring recent works by Cindy Stiffon. “All the images are things I love,” she says. “So if I don’t love it, you won’t find it up on the wall.” Horses, landscapes, florals and vintage cars are a few of her favou-
rite things, and they all began as images she photographed. Like old cars, which are often visually appealing, she often seeks to capture a different angle. “I love the chrome and insignia.” Vancouver-born Stiffon moved to Chilliwack about 10 years ago, and owns Kiliban Designs, where she offers her interior design services. She lives on an acreage, and is currently developing a vineyard. Stiffon has always expressed herself artistically, exploring photography, pen and ink, charcoal, water
colour, oils and acrylics. She’s done some pottery by hand and paper making, but these days, it’s photography that beckons, and the creative process that follows using her Canon ipf 5000 printer. Harnessing the incredible tools and technology to enhance her images is helped along with programs like Photoshop and Painter10. “They can turn anything into a painting.” Some even look like oil paintings or water colours, as she explores

The brilliant mind of Antoine Feval is brought to life on the Main Theatre stage of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, Thursday, Feb. 16. Through the dim-witted gaze of Barnaby Gibbs, the “shaggy dog” story plays out deliciously in this comedic tour de force. Written and performed by British comedian Chris Gibbs, the show introduces audiences to Antoine Feval, described as “Victorian England’s most overlooked detective.” His character, Barnaby Gibbs, is a huge Sherlock Holmes fan. We meet him as he’s checking on a friend’s empty house when he stumbles across a strange man dressed all in black in the bedroom. The stranger is trying to write a poem about sapphires while holding a bag full of stolen belongings. Only one conclusion a reasonable person could come to — that this person is the notorious cat-burglar, who has been robbing Victorian England blind, known as the Rhyming Bandit. Fortunately for the thief, Gibbs is not a reasonable man, and when the stranger tells him that he is actually the famous detective Antoine Feval a new crime-fighting duo is born. Gibbs has honed a masterpiece in Feval in a way that manages to be both ridiculous and intelligent. The clueless young Englishman does not realize that his new partner is actually the master thief who’s been robbing the city blind.

Antoine Feval a comedic tour-de-force at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, Thursday Feb. 16.
Antoine Feval in Chilliwack COMEDY from p23 It’s a story that will certainly entertain, and deliver on laughs. Bringing quick wit, stand-up and improv skills to bear, as well as an insouciant irreverence, he plays a kind-hearted man who believes he’s the sidekick to a very famous Victorian detective. Beginning his career in 1991 as a performer on the streets of London, Chris Gibbs has toured extensively as a stand-up comedian and improviser, written and performed five hit, award-winning shows, has been a regular guest on NBC’s comedy series ‘Howie Do It’, has played at Just For Laughs and the Winnipeg Comedy Festivals, starred in the Canadian indie feature ‘Run Robot Run,’ and is even a published author. This busy multi-talented comedian performs every Wednesday with The National Theatre of the World in the Canadian Comedy Award-winning improv troupe, The Carnegie Hall Show. Antoine Feval, 8 p.m., Feb. 16, at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. 604.391.SHOW(7469) or www. chilliwackculturalcentre.ca

We welome Shannon and are excited to have her energy in our office. She started her life in Hope, BC and was an avid figure skater. In her late teens she moved to Chilliwack and graduated from Chilliwack Senior. She has a 17 year old daughter named Brittany and they have made the Agassiz area their home for the past 7 years. Shannon completed the legal secretary course and took a position as an executive assistant for Young Drivers of Canada. She got the bug for real estate while working as a Realtor’s assistant and at Garrison Crossing for Canada Lands as a presentation Centre Sales Hostess. In 2005 she decided to get a license of her own and the rest is history. She has earned President’s Club status every year since 2008. She has an incredibly loyal clientele and her high standard of performance and integrity is well known. In her spare time she’s outdoors with family and friends and recently has tried rappelling and zip-lining. For the past 4 years she has provided a Bursary to High School Graduates and has been active in community events. Shannon is looking forward to our Sutton Spirit Committee programs and participating in the Bowl for Kids Sake Fundraiser with her fellow colleagues later this month. She has determined that Sutton is the best place for her to thrive and provide her clients innovative marketing and internet exposure. She invites her clients to drop by the office and have a tour! Call Shannon for personal service and a smooth real estate experience.

We welcome Diane to our office and feel she will make a positive impact here at Sutton. She is one busy realtor for having been in the business for just 2½ years and she hasn’t had the benefit of a “Hot Market” yet, so look out folks when that happens!

Diane grew up in Maple Ridge and after finishing her schooling, worked in the Social Services field with mentally challenged children and adults. She moved to Hope 18 years ago and raised 4 children there. She has been involved in the Community of Hope with figure skating, hockey and also participated in various business and community projects. For over 10 years Diane successfully ran a gift store, hardware store and opened Hope’s first coffee bar. Diane spends her free time in the gym, running and pursuing other fitness activities as well as spending time with her family and friends. She is really excited to participate in Sutton’s Client Appreciation Events and the Sutton VIP Loyalty Rewards Program. She is a hardworking, positive person and will take care of all your Real Estate needs from Chilliwack to Hope. Call Diane for prompt professional service.

Well, she is putting that same attitude into her Real Estate career. Once she sets her mind on something she gets it done… She decided to get her Real Estate license in July of last year and was licensed in January… Her ink wasn’t even dry on the license and she already had an accepted offer with a client. She has removed conditions on 2 deals as of this date.

Addiction. Abuse. All of these figured prominently in her early life which took her from Princeton and Penticton to Vancouver’s downtown eastside.

Even though your bump is barely noticeable, you body is undergoing major changes. If you have a low risk pregnancy, and were not training for a marathon before conception, you can most likely continue your pre-pregnancy exercise routine. Some activities, such as squash, scuba diving, horseback riding, martial arts and high altitude hiking should be avoided. You should also avoid exercising in the heat. In the summer months, exercise in the cooler parts of the day, or indoors in an air-conditioned gym. Before continuing or starting an exercise routine, make sure to get

You can enjoy keeping active through each trimester in pregnancy
maintain your flexibility. Exercise in the Second Trimester
After the 14th week, avoid doing any exercises on your back, such as sit ups, as this position can impede the blood flow to the fetus. As your belly grows, you may need to modify your exercise routine. Again, let your body be your guide. If you find that brisk walking is uncomfortable, slow down, or swap your walk for laps at the pool. As your pregnancy progresses, you may need to invest in new workout gear to accommodate your changing shape. Many women need to purchase a larger sports bra to fit their expanding rib cage, or a bra with more support. Although maternity stores will sell workout clothes, many stretchy exercise pants can double as maternity pants. Look for longer, larger tops for your expanding belly. Although exercise is beneficial, your doctor may have Continued: FITNESS/ p34

your doctor or midwife’s okay. During your workout, pay attention to any warning signs to stop exercising. These include: faintness, dizziness, excessive fatigue, vaginal bleeding, blurry vision, decrease in fetal movement, any kind of pain, or signs of preterm labour. Pregnancy is not the time to push yourself through any pain or discomfort. During pregnancy your exercise goals change. No longer are you training to reach a personal best or to lose weight. Your new goal is to have a healthy pregnancy and to become a healthy mom. With this new goal in mind, you may have to modify your routine. For example, if you are exhausted or battling nausea, take a rest day, or go for a short walk outside instead of to the gym. You may find that you are unable to workout as long or as hard as when you were not pregnant. Let your body be your guide. If something doesn’t feel right, stop, slow down, or modify the exercise. If you have not been active before, the first trimester is a good time to begin an exercise routine. After getting your doctor’s okay, start with walking or another low intensity exercise. Slowly, build up to exercising 30 minutes three to five times per week. For cardiovascular exercise, walking, running (if you were running before getting pregnant), swimming, low impact aerobics, stationary cycling or other cardio machines are good choices. If you can carry on a conversation during exercise, you are working at an appropriate intensity. Weight training can be continued as long as the weights are not too heavy (you should be able to lift them 12-15 times in a row) and you don’t hold your breath. Yoga and stretching exercises are good to

Whether you are trying to get pregnant or are nearing your due date, exercise is beneficial. No longer are women told to limit their activities to cooking and knitting for nine months. Instead, health care professionals encourage most pregnant women to keep active, and to enjoy the benefits. Women who stay fit during their pregnancy feel better overTanja all, can reduce some aches and SHAW pains (such as a sore back and hips), manage their daily activities better, have an easier time controlling weight gain, and often report a faster recovery after delivery. Exercise may also help to prevent some more serious pregnancy complications such as gestational diabetes and preeclampsia (high blood pressure). With some slight modifications to your workout routine, you can enjoy keeping active through each trimester in pregnancy.

Home&Garden
Get an early jump on spring Around this time of year, millions of Canadians are leafing through seed catalogues or browsing through seed racks in garden centres. They are imagining all sorts of wonderful colour schemes for their garden and anticipating baskets of fresh produce. All these good things are going to come from seeds. It all seems fairly easy, but in reality, I would guess that less than 50 percent of all the seeds purchased actually grow. This is not because the seeds are defective, even though we like to blame the seedsmen for our bad luck; it’s most often because we need a little more information on how to have success with seeds. Today, new hybrid pansy seeds cost about 3.7 cents per seed, and hybrid tomato seeds are often over $125.00 an ounce. If you’re interested in saving money, there is some value in knowing at least a few of the basics about seed germination. Firstly, most of us buy too much seed. We keep thinking that vegetable seeds are such a great investment so we buy a few extra, just in case some don’t make it. That’s like buying a year’s supply of detergent when it’s not on sale. As a guide, many seed companies are now listing the number of seeds each packet contains, and seed catalogues are very good at indicating how many seeds there are per ounce or gram of seed. If you only need six tomato plants, why are you buying 200 seeds? The next problem area is what to do with seeds once we have them. Some folks leave them in the kitchen, some end up in the garage, and yes, many get misplaced or lost. The best place for virtually all your vegetable and flower seeds is in your freezer. Not only do you know where they are, but they are also being stored at a constant temperature and humidity. This stratifies them as well, which helps speed up germination. If the World Seed Bank freezes seeds, I think it’s safe to do. Timing is everything as the saying goes, and this is especially true with seeds. There has to be a natural progression from seed germina-
tion to planting outside in the garden. Unless you have a perfectly controlled environment in which to keep young seedlings, you must time your seeds to correspond with the readiness of your Brian garden outside. MINTER In other words, don’t start outdoor tomatoes until early April. I’m also convinced that you need a cool, well-lit area in which to place your young seedlings during the early stages of growth. Adjustable Powersmart lighting, adjustable heat and circulating fans are also important. It takes a bit of trial and error to really
achieve success with germination, but the basics are a good medium, clean starting trays, bottom heat, good light and humidity. Starter mixes are probably the easiest way to go, and if you use these mixes in plastic cell packs or seed plug trays, your success will be far better. Many seed catalogues indicate the temperature at which the best germination can be achieved, and you can provide that temperature by means of heating trays. Keep in mind, however, that they are not cheap. Very few seeds need to be covered with a growing mix for optimum germination. Most seeds need to be exposed to about 12 to 16 hours of high intensity light per day. They must, however, be kept humid. After watering them in carefully, using very hot water and a
proper watering can or misting bottle, be sure you place some clear plastic or glass on top of the trays to hold in both the warmth and the humidity. Seeds need to be checked twice daily for moisture. Germination time will vary with the type of seed, but as soon as they sprout, immediately remove the covers, cool them down, provide lots of light and good air circulation and keep the humidity up. A drenching with an organic sulphurbased fungicide, like ‘Defender’, will help prevent disease. Maintain the soil on the dry side once the seeds are up and away. Your greatest challenge will be to keep all your seedlings short and compact before they go into the garden. High light, moderate watering and cooler temperatures will help you achieve just that. There is a lot of satisfaction in growing your own plants from seed, but germination takes a good deal of care and attention. Seeds contain a little magic, and like a good magician, we must learn our craft well to help them perform up to our expectations.
Looking good!

Chiefs track down rivals A busy weekend could be a hugely profitable one for the Chilliwack Chiefs as they play three games in three days against Interior conference opponents. The Chiefs start Friday night in Prince George, facing one of the teams directly in front of them in the Interior standings. Chilliwack is fourth at 26-20-1-2. Prince George is second at 27-17-2-4, five points up on the Chiefs. Chilliwack does hold one game in hand, and a head-to-head win puts them in decent position to overtake the Sprucies. Finishing third as opposed to fourth would spare the Chiefs a first round squashing at the hands of the top-seeded Penticton Vees, who seem pre-destined to win the 2011-12 BCHL title. This is the final meeting of the year between Chilliwack and the Spruce Kings. The seven previous meetings have been close, with two games decided in overtime and four of the games decided by one goal. Chilliwack holds a 4-2-0-1 record in the season series and won the last meeting, a 4-2 triumph in Prince George Jan. 20. The Spruce Kings have gone 7-2-0-1 over their last 10, the best Interior conference mark after the neverlose Vees. With a really good weekend, Chilliwack could put themselves in position to overtake not just Prince George, but also Saturday night’s opponent, the second place Merritt Centennials. The slumping Cents
have gone 3-7-0-0 over their last 10, picking a bad time to go into a swoon. A lack of offense has been Merritt’s downfall recently, with the team scoring 11 goals in their last six games. Their top line of Evan Stack, Regan Soquila and Chad Brears has accounted for all but two of those goals, with Stack scoring five on his own. The Centennials still lead the Chiefs by six points in the Interior conference standings. But, should Chilliwack beat Merritt in the head-to-head and then capitalize on their two games in hand, they would be tied. The teams have met six times previously this season, with Chilliwack going 2-3-0-1. This is their last head-to-head meeting this season. The Chiefs wrap up the weekend on Sunday, facing the Warriors in Westside. Though Westside is well out of the playoff picture, they’ve been a pesky opponent for everyone they’ve faced. The Warriors almost handed Penticton a loss last weekend, rallying from a 6-1 deficit before falling 6-5. Chilliwack has played Westside five times this season, going 3-1-1-0. The only tie the Chiefs have experienced this season was against the Warriors, who played the home team to a 3-3 draw Jan. 22 at Prospera Centre. These two teams play twice more between now and the end of the BCHL regular season schedule. Get a weekend wrap in the Tuesday Chilliwack Progress sports section.

BCHL shines spotlight on officials
For the first time in league history, the BCHL plans to honour referees and linesmen for their contributions to the game. BCHL alumni and current National Hockey League offi-
cials Kelly Sutherland and Brad Lazarowich have had awards created in their name for the top referee and linesman respectively. The initiative is spearheaded by Derek Adams, the BCHL’s director of officiating. “The awards were created to bring some recognition to our on-ice officials who strive to be the best they can be both on and off the ice,” Adams said. “Kelly and Brad got their start in offici-
ating in the BCHL and have gone on to set a very high standard for officials both on and off the ice, but also in giving back to the development of officiating in British Columbia.” The two award winners will each receive $500, of which $250 will be donated to a charity of choice in the name of the official. The winners will be chosen at the end of the season and the selection process will involve input from Adams,
BC Hockey Supervisors and the BCHL board of governors. “The awards are an example of the support the BCHL governors provide to our officials and to our officiating program,” Adams said. “I’d like to thank our governors for this support as well as Kelly and Brad for lending their names to make these awards more meaningful and for providing an example of what an official should strive to accomplish.”
Gould passed over for player of the week A four goal weekend wasn’t enough to earn Chilliwack Chiefs forward Malcolm Gould BCHL player of the week honours. Prince George Spruce Kings for ward Gerr y Fitzgerald got the nod for the week ending Feb. 12. The second highest scoring of PG’s Fitzgerald triplets,
he tallied four goals and an assist in helping the Spruce Kings to three wins on the road. Fitzgerald started off with the game-winner and a first star selection against Trail, had repeated the feat the next night in Trail. He finished up with a goal and an assist in a defeat of
Salmon Arm. It’s the first Player of the Week award for the five-footeight and 155-pound Port Alberni native. Gould, who had three goals in a 6-4 win over Westside and another in a 3-1 win over Vernon, was among the honourable mentions. Also receiving notice,
Alberni Valley for ward Artsiom Kalashnikov (five goals, four assists), Penticton Vees forward Joey Benik (four goals, four assists), Coquitlam Express forward Alex Petan (four goals, two assists) and Surrey Eagles forward Sean McGovern (three goals, one assist). See www.bchl.ca

Home court advantage for basketball Cascades down, which I think has become one of the trademarks of our team.” Aieisha Luyken, with
19 points, paced the UFV attack, while Tessa Klassen (15 points) and Chilliwack’s Alexa
McCarthy (12) also chipped in offensively. Like the UFV men, the Cascades women
will host the Prairie division’s third-place team in a best-of-three series at the Envision Athletic
Centre, Feb. 23-25. The Calgary Dinos, at 13-5, have the inside track on that slot.

The University of the Fraser Valley women’s hoopsters had already clinched home-court advantage to open the playoffs, but they still felt they had something to prove in their regular season finale against TWU. Two weeks ago, the Spartans upset the Cascades 79-51 at the Abbotsford Entertainment and Sports Centre. UFV, ranked No. 10 in the nation, put forth a better effort on Thursday, pulling away down the stretch for a 74-65 win. “How we played a couple weeks ago wasn’t how we wanted to play,” noted Cascades head coach Al Tuchscherer. “I think it was important for us to come back and rebound from that game. Finishing the season strong was a big thing.” The Spartans reeled off a 23-6 run bridging the first and second quarters to build a 13-point lead, but the Cascades responded with a 9-0 run of their own to get back into it. TWU led 55-53 midway through the fourth quarter, but UFV finished the game on an 11-0 spurt to seal the victory. In the process, the Cascades (12-6) dealt a huge blow to the Spartans’ post-season aspirations. At 8-10, they’re currently occupying the fourth and final playoff spot in the Pacific division, but they need a huge amount of help from other teams to hang onto that spot. “They were dominating the boards in the first half, but I felt we really turned the tide in the third quarter,” Tuchscherer said. “Down the stretch, our D really clamped

Behind every successful athlete is a capable coach The 2012 B.C. Winter Games are now less than two weeks away. From Feb. 23-26, the province’s top young athletes will gather in Vernon in pursuit of the podium. As a media partner of the Games, Black Press newspapers province wide are providing stories on the many people who make this event special. Today, a look at the behind-the-scenes contributions of the coach.
Coaches can sometimes be the unsung heroes of athletic success. The images we see in the media are of goldmedal-winning athletes standing on podiums grinning ear to ear, with their coach nowhere to be seen. But almost without fail, athletes will credit their coach for their success ahead of anyone else. Coaches lead and inspire athletes from

the Duncan-based Provincial Advisor for Karate BC. “I am excited about our new program and I know that our junior coaches are looking forward to attending the BC Winter Games and having the opportunity to develop new skills under the tutelage of some of Karate BC’s best coaches.” Another successful mentorship program developed by the BC Games Society, Coaches BC and Promotion Plus, supports the education of female coaches. For Laura Watson, Technical Director with Coaches BC and ringette coach, this has been a terrific opportunity for both her and her apprentice coach. “As I started out in coaching I wish that I had had an opportunity to study from a seasoned coach. It would have provided me with the opportunity to see how an effective coach really operates,” she says. “The BC Games experience that we have for our apprentice coach is absolutely the best experience that we could ever offer someone.” The dedication and commitment of coaches around the province strengthens the overall sport system and contributes to communities and social development. For many, coaching is a way of life. Gary Ricks, a Level 3 certified coach at Key City Gymnastics in Cranbrook, reflects on the impact of coaching on his life. “Coaching helps you take stock of where you are now in all aspects of your life and how that compares to where you would like to be,” he says.

COACHING from p38 Over his 31-year coaching career, Ricks has been no stranger to the BC Winter Games having attended over 12 times. It will be a family affair this year at the BC Winter Games in Vernon as Ricks coaches the Kootenays Zone 1 team; his wife Michelle is the Provincial Advisor for Gymnastics and his niece Madysen will be a competing athlete. The BC Games is an important step in the life of a coach, just as it is for the life of an athlete. These Games are a major springboard for coaches looking to move on up to the Canada Games and what they learn in this multisport environment will prepare them for future opportunities. 122 Head Coaches and 110 Assistant Coaches will lead 1,148 athletes at the 2012 BC Winter Games, which run February 23-26 in Greater Vernon.

Soccer Strikers halt Hawks Chilliwack’s U-12 Silver Striker boys are three for three in Group E Cup play after a 2-1 weekend win over the Surrey Hawks. Surrey had the upper hand throughout the first half, but great defending by Luke Zandberg and Jordan Grahn, and solid goal-keeping by Jackson Gardner, kept the Hawks at bay. Chilliwack’s fortunes changed midway through the second half. Midfielder Nathan Brodie set up Jacob Bockhodt, who picked the top corner with a rocket shot. Bockhodt added another goal minutes later. The Strikers relaxed for a moment, allowing Surrey to cut their lead in half. That set up a nervy final 10 minutes in which both teams hit cross-bars. But Chilliwack settled down and closed out the game, led by the stingy defending of Braiden Ker vel, Harrison Channing and Konrad Roche. A win against the Central City Strikers this weekend could land Chilliwack in the Group E Cup final.
A big reason for the Chiefs success was the play of leading scorer Malcolm Gould, writes Jacob Bestebroer
Laura Watson is a mentor coach at the BC Winter Games that take place Feb. 23-26 in Vernon.
Two very important wins last weekend on home ice over Westside and Vernon improved the Chiefs playoff position as they head into this weekend. The Chiefs now sit alone in the fourth and final playoff position, one point up on the Vernon Vipers with a game in hand. Vernon, who looked to be dropping out of the race a few weeks ago, rattled off five straight wins to put themselves right back in it before dropping a 3-1 decision in Chilliwack Saturday. They followed up that loss with a 7-1 loss in Merritt Tuesday night. A tough test awaits the Chiefs this weekend as they take to the road for a trio of games beginning Friday night in Prince George. They’ll visit Merritt Saturday before wrapping up the weekend with a Sunday afternoon game in Westside. A big reason for the Chiefs success over the weekend was the play of leading scorer Malcolm Gould. Gould had been fighting the puck a little bit lately but snapped out of it in a big way scoring four goals in the two wins. I thought he’d be the BCHL player of the week but he had to settle for an honorable mention. Some exciting news from the twitter feed of Chiefs general manager/head coach Harvey Smyl on Tuesday. The Chiefs will be holding an alumni game on Friday July 6, with a golf tournament the following day. These weekends are always a lot of fun and a record number of attendees would not surprise me. My favorite alumni weekend memory is Bob Gassoff’s performance at the golf course. After putting a shot in the water, Gassoff, who after his one year with the Chiefs went on to become a Navy Seal, put on the scuba gear, dove in and retrieved the ball. As he emerged from the water he held up the ball and yelled ‘Got it coach!’ Good times. We’ll have more details on alumni weekend soon. Coming up later this month is Pasta Da Puck. An evening of Italian cuisine at Frankie’s Italian Kitchen featuring Chiefs players as servers and the entertainment will happen on Sunday February 26. The first seating sold out quickly, so a second seating has been added. A few seats are left. Call the Chiefs office at 604.392.4433 or visit the Chiefs website for more details. Speaking of the Chiefs website, some of you may be getting a warning when you visit it saying that the site contains malware. Last week the Chiefs site, the BCHL site and most of the other BCHL team sites were hacked. The problem was cleared up last Wednesday. Some browsers may still give you warnings based on last week’s events. Feedback can be sent to jb@chilliwackchiefs.net.

The man who spearheaded a successful hockey academy at Chilliwack middle school now hopes to do the same thing at a local elementary school. Bob Young is now the principal at Strathcona elementary school, and he is working out the details for an academy that would provide onice instruction to a maximum of 25 students. “It would have to be a bit different from the one at the middle school,” Young said. “It would be for kids in Grades 4-6, running twice a week out of Prospera Centre.” Chilliwack Chiefs assistant coach Paul Nicolls would be the head instructor, with help from Young.

Students would be expected to have a certain level of skating proficiency. “They can’t be skating with those bars you see at public skating,” Young cautioned. “They would need some basic ability.” The subject of an academy was initially broached at an information meeting in November. Since then, Young has received 13 applications from Strathcona students, and another eight from kids who don’t currently attend the school. With class sizes at Strathcona already at or near the maximum, Young doesn’t have the wiggle room to accept applications from out-
side the school. With one exception. “We are one of the district’s french immersion sites, and we have room to work with there,” Young explained. “If there are parents out there who are interested in having their child in french immersion and participating in the hockey academy, there may be room there.” Young things he’ll know by spring break whether they’ll have the numbers they need to proceed. For more info, Young’s email is bob_ young@sd33.bc.ca. The school’s main phone number is 604792-9301 and inquiries can be made in person at 46375 Strathcona Road.

Nicolls is known locally as the operator of the Xceed Training Center on Hocking Avenue. A former junior hockey player and minor-pro referee, Nicolls runs skating clinics for minor hockey players throughout the year. “We want a big emphasis on skating,” Young said of the proposed Strathcona academy’s main focus. “You can work on other skills, and we would. But kids that age only have so much strength, and skating is the fundamental skill.” The cost for parents would be $800, with money going towards facility rental, transportation and instructor costs.

Who will walk beside you all the way, Whose love outlasts the longest day. John will always be remembered with love and joy for having known him, Liz and Gonzie.
