Weather wreaks havoc with schools Schools open, then close Katie Bartel The Progress At 5:15 a.m., Wednesday morning an announcement was posted on the Chilliwack school district’s website: All schools are open. By 8 a.m. the social media site Twitter was a buzz with people in the community questioning that decision. Several schools were without power, roads were treacherous, Sardis secondary had whiteout conditions blowing all around it, and according to one resident a bus dropping students off at Central elementary got stuck in the snow. School staff were required to be at school. “Slight blowing snow – apparently nobody drives to FVDES!!!” posted teacher Michelle Savich. “Most of the roads around us are closed. Those that are open should be closed,” posted fellow Fraser Valley Distance Ed teacher John Goldsmith. Sardis secondary teacher Colin W. said that by 9:35 a.m. there were less than 100 students left in the school. He was not looking forward to going home. “Took an hour to get to school. Chilliwack River Rd. a nightmare. Not looking forward to going back up the hill,” he posted. City councillor Jason Lum also didn’t agree with the school district’s decision to open schools. “Don’t care if the schools are all open, it’s ridiculous out there!” he posted. “Stay home, don’t be insane.” Business person Mike Olson said it was a poor decision on the school district’s part. And parent Michael Woods suggested, “SD33 needs a new weatherman.” By 10 a.m., school district officials were also questioning the decision. At 10:40 a.m., after all schools had been notified, a new announcement was posted on the district’s website informing that all schools would be closed at noon. “Conditions have worsened in the last three hours since we made the decision to open schools,” superintendent Michael Audet told The Progress in a phone interview Wednesday morning.

Whiteout conditions snarl traffic Fire halls call in additional staff Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Extreme weather and blowing snow closed roads, schools and cut off power Wednesday to thousands of Chilliwackians. It wasn’t exactly ‘snowmageddon’ but there was a significant amount of snow on the ground, with arctic winds and flurries sweeping across the eastern Fraser Valley. University of the Fraser Valley made the decision to cancel classes for 1 p.m. on Wednesday, after being

closed Tuesday. City of Chilliwack Public Works reported a series of road closures due to whiteout conditions, which were cleared up as soon as equipment could get to them. At one point Wednesday morning all main north-south routes in Chilliwack were closed. Prest, South Sumas and Evans Roads were closed, and motorists from four vehicles on Prest had to be evacuated. Vedder Road was also closed for much of the day due to downed power lines between

Manual and Stevenson. Chilliwack River Road was kept open with special continuous plowing, but was eventually closed. Chilliwack transit buses were running but service was delayed, and handyDAR T was down to essential services only. Chilliwack officials also took the unusual step of calling in additional staff to stand by at rural firehalls. Officials with the Chilliwack Fire Department made the decision to supplement fire halls usually run by volunteers with career personnel when “ whiteout conditions

and weather were at their worst yesterday. “The inclement weather forced us to look at our response plan,” said assistant fire chief Jeff Ullyot. A series of major road closures and drifting snow made it impossible for some volunteer firefighters to make it to fire halls in Rosedale, Ryder Lake, Greendale and Yarrow. “Career staff were inundated the calls in the core of town with lots of activity happening,” he said. “So we thought it was best to put staff in our rural halls to assist with quicker response.” Continued: WEATHER/ p4

Pilot killed as RCMP copter crashes near Cultus Robert Freeman The Progress A 46-year-old civilian pilot with the RCMP was killed in a helicopter crash during a training exercise Tuesday near Chilliwack. David Brolin was described as a pilot with “extensive” experience, and the A-Star B3 helicopter he was flying a “top-notch” piece of equipment that received the “highest degree of maintenance,” RCMP Chief Superintendent told reporters at a hastily called news conference in Vancouver late Tuesday. “At this point there are many unanswered questions,” he said, including whether the cold weather conditions had anything to do with the crash. The Transportation Safety Board and BC Coroners Service are investigating the cause of the 2 p.m. incident.

“This pilot is a member of the RCMP that got up this morning and went to work to do his job,” Rideout said. “He’d died on duty, and we need to ensure that his family, both immediate and extended, have the proper support.” Brolin was the sole occupant of the helicopter designated Air 5, one of the six in the Lower Mainland RCMP’s air services, when it went down near the border of a Department of National Defense training site off Liumchen Creek Forest Service Road east of Cultus Lake. Rideout said Brolin had just finished a training exercise with an RCMP Emergency Response Team and was returning to base when the chopper was seen going down. Rideout said ERT members at the scene made “immediate and

extensive efforts to save his life,” but Brolin succumbed to his injuries at hospital where he was taken in an RCMP vehicle. “This man was also a part of our RCMP family, and he will be missed,” Rideout said. “Many RCMP members and employees will be impacted by this loss and we are ensuring that proper support is available to them.” Brolin joined the RCMP in June, 2006. The A-Star B3 helicopter is described on the Internet as “arguably the most powerful, fastest, and versatile medium single helicopter in the world” able to carry up to five passengers, in addition to the pilot, and cruise at airspeeds in excess of 150 mph. It’s not clear whether it carried recording devices that could help determine the cause of the crash. rfreeman@theprogress.com

Fraser Valley: ‘King of Light Industrial Activity’ Robert Freeman The Progress The Fraser Valley is “the king of light industrial activity in B.C.,” says Paul Boileau, board chairman of the Canadian Manufacturers & Exporters Association. And that leads to a “massive” economic multiplier generated by manufacturing and processing facilities compared to residential tourism or education, he said. Light industry also tends to build “clusters” as businesses with similar supply needs supLight industry port each other, while outof-town vendor visits act “as doesn’t have key financial drivers to the Chilliwack restaurant and the same hotel industries,” he said. environmental “There is also the injection of major tax revenues to impacts as heavy the city, allowing for lower industry residential tax rates and/ or improved services (like) libraries, sports centres parks ~ CEPCO and the arts,” he said. president The Chilliwack Economic Development Corporation is John Jansen “aggressively” targeting light industrial development here for environmental, as well as economic reasons, CEPCO president John Jansen said. “Light industry doesn’t have the same environmental impacts as heavy industry,” he said, and heavy industry also requires more servicing, at the city’s expense. He said a new city bylaw creating a tax exemption for construction of new or improved light industrial buildings valued over $1 million helps keep the city competitive with other locations. The “clustering” effect mentioned by Boileau also helps “build momentum” in attracting new light industrial development here, Jansen added. Continued: FRASER/ p5

Students leave Chilliwack secondary just after noon on Wednesday. All schools in the district were closed as of noon that day due to the snow. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Schools closed as conditions worsened SCHOOLS from Front “Because of issues with road conditions, drifting snow, windchill, and in the interest of everyone’s safety, we will be closing all schools today at noon,” Audet said. In wintery conditions, the school district follows a protocol that has several employees driving the local roads early in the morning, checking on road conditions and parking lots, as well as whether or not schools have power. Decisions are generally made prior to 6 a.m.

When Audet decided to open the schools, he said the roads at that time were manageable. He was also informed by BC Hydro that the schools without power, which included Promontory elementary, Vedder elementary, and G.W. Graham middle-secondary would have their power returned by 9 a.m. A second incident, however, also knocked the power out at Sardis secondary and Sardis elementary. Their power was not returned until 9:45 a.m.

Audet believed that by closing the schools at noon, it would still be safe enough for staff and students to make it home before conditions worsened. Chilliwack MP Mark Strahl said the decision came far too late. “Should have made the decision 4 hours ago,” Strahl posted on Twitter three minutes after the closure was announced. University of the Fraser Valley also closed its campuses at 1 p.m. Wednesday. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Chilliwack battles frigid weather WEATHER from Front Extreme cold conditions continued with wind chill factor ranging from -25 C to -30 C, said Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. Overnight temperature Tuesday was at -13.7 C, which is about 15 degrees below normal. Low record for the day was -15.6 C in 1935. In fact reaching the -13.7 C mark makes it the coldest temperature since the -13.7 on December 28 and 29 of 1996.

Wednesday it was even colder as the mercury dipped to -15. City of Chilliwack had 10 snowplows with sanders working around the clock in 12-hour shifts since Friday. They’ve been striving to keep the main roads clear on a priority system, with more details at www.chilliwack.com by clicking on the ice and snow program link.

Local towing companies were kept “crazy busy” servicing stranded Chilliwack drivers on Wednesday. Exactly how busy were they? “Very busy!” replied Wally’s Towing dispatcher Kristin Haslett.

She estimated there were 45 to 50 calls to O’Connor’s tow truck service from motorists who needed a jump-start, a tow, or vehicle recoveries. “There are a few vehicles we can’t even get to because the roads are closed,” she said. “Cars are hidden in the snow now. You can just see little bits of them. It’s so windy we can’t even get out to them.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Room to spare at Chilliwack shelter Robert Freeman The Progress Chilliwack’s Salvation Army shelter hasn’t reached its capacity yet despite the arctic-like weather conditions. “We’re still open and ready for business,” Ian Pratt, the Salvation Army’s community ministries direc-

tor in Chilliwack, said Wednesday. He said the shelter is one bed shy of its 14-bed capacity, with 11 adults at the moment and two beds reserved for youth, but there is ample space to open up 30-40 cots in the soup kitchen or at area firehalls.

“We have lots of communal areas we can call on if required,” he said. But it seems the homeless and others you’d expect to see at the shelter in extreme weather are hunkered down elsewhere and sitting tight for the moment. Pratt said there is an

outreach worker actively informing street people about the shelter, but they cannot be forced to come in from the cold. “We do seek people out in the cold and ask them in,” he said, but even the soup kitchen is seeing fewer people. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Light industrial assessed at $2.08 billion in Fraser Region FRASER from p3 The success of manufacturing plants like Soprema, which exports its roofing materials around the world, “is an example of light industry that has done an outstanding job of promoting our town” to other companies, he said. Boileau, who is also director of operations at the Soprema manufacturing plant, said he believes the “solid work ethic” of Chilliwack employees is also a factor in light industry locating here. “Agricultural and small-town independence lead to floor shop problem-solving attitudes that can be less

prevalent in city centres,” he said. The BC Assessment Light Industrial Roll for 2012 showed the Fraser Region with $2.08 billion in assessed value, and when combined with assessments in Surrey/White Rock of $1.45 billion and with $1.81 billion in North of Fraser, total $5.34 billion. Light industrial assessments in Richmond totalled just $2.7 billion in comparison, while Vancouver and North Vancouver combined totalled $840 million, the Okanagan $799 million, Vancouver Island $668 million, and the Kootenays $114 million. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

There were also five three-day immediate driving prohibitions issued at the roadside, eight 24-hour prohibitions issued for alcohol and six 24-hour prohibitions for driving under the influence of drugs. There were eight 90-day prohibitions issued to drivers caught driving with over the .08 blood/alcohol limit. RCMP officials said taking impaired drivers off the road is not just a December project, but an on-going mandate that is taken very seriously. “The numbers definitely reflect that we are taking these people off the roads and potentially preventing accidents or even fatalities,” Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. “The ultimate goal would be to have a Counter Attack year where we saw no alcohol-related charges or violation tickets issued,” she said. “There would be no measure of success greater than that,” she said.

BCTF demands still ‘absurd,’ B.C.’s education minister says Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – The B.C.

The BCTF tabled its proposal to the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association, seeking a three-year cost-of-living increase in the first year of a new contract, and six per cent in each of the two years after that. It’s the first specific wage demand to be released by the union after nearly a year of talks and nearly five months of work-to-rule action by teachers. Abbott told CKNW radio Tuesday he is skeptical of the BCTF’s estimate that its latest

proposal will increase costs by $300 million more than current conditions. But even if it does, that’s still $300 million too much. “I have said, the minister of finance has said, government has said probably a thousand times over for almost a year now that we’ve been negotiating that we have a net zero mandate for all public servants, including teachers,” Abbott said. “It’s nice perhaps when you take an absurd figure and make it a bit less absurd, but it is still above net zero by a huge margin.” BCTF president Susan Lambert said the new proposal also includes “modest improvements” to benefits and classroom preparation time. “Yes, $300 million is a lot of money, but look at the scale of

the endeavour,” Lambert said. “It’s certainly a lot less than the cost of the [BC Place] stadium roof I see every day from my office window. And It’s less than the amount the B.C. Liberals have been able to take away from public education every year since 2002, when they illegally stripped our collective agreement of class-size and composition guarantees.” Abbott said the BCTF contract that expired last spring contained about 16 per cent in wage increases over five years, and that was in prosperous times. The province currently has a $3.1 billion operating deficit and has signed agreements with several other public service unions with no total increase in compensation for the past two years.

Students honoured in recognition ceremony A group of adult students from Cheam First Nation were honoured in a special ceremony a week ago for perseverance through a range of obstacles. The Cheam community was reeling from the impact of five deaths before Christmas and it got in the way of students’ learning of traditional and con-

temporary aboriginal traditions, said teacher Bryan Stephenson. “They were thrown off track, but they managed to regain focus over the holidays and devote great effort to completing the academic requirements,” he said. Eight students were recognized in the Jan. 12 ceremony: Gordon

White knuckle time It took a while, but when winter finally arrived in Chilliwack, it arrived with a vengeance. Saturday’s pretty little snowfall was followed up with an even bigger event on Tuesday, and howling winds and plunging temperatures on Wednesday. The wicked weather offers Chilliwack residents a reminder that Lotus Land is still a part of Canada, the great white north. And with its arrival came the usual lineups at garages as drivers hustled to get snow tires installed so they could navigate the region’s roads and highways in safety. The last two winters have been relatively kind to local drivers. In fact it’s been just over a year since last we were hit with a snowfall of any significance. Annual winter snowfall has decreased generally over the past 20 years. That’s a long way from the winters of 2006 and 2008 when the Lower Mainland was repeatedly hammered by storms that closed schools and stranded drivers. The winter weather can indeed be fickle and unpredictable. And still we continue to gamble we won’t need to bear the expense of installing snow tires, getting the car tuned up for winter driving, or even tucking an ice scraper under the front seat and topping up the windshield washer reservoir. Those drivers in seasonal denial aren’t hard to spot. They’re the ones with the death grip on their steering wheel, peering with squinted eyes through the tiny patch of windshield they bothered to clear with a handy credit card, sliding slightly sideways on even the flattest piece of pavement. It would be funny, if it weren’t so dangerous West Coast drivers aren’t the best winter drivers because we don’t get much practice at it. We need all the help we can get. That means getting those snow tires installed, keeping those fluids topped up, brushing all the snow off all the windows, the roof, hood and rear bumper, and taking it easy in dark, slippery conditions. Winter’s here. Stay safe. ~ Black Press

Enbridge oil pipeline won’t be happening After following the opening phase of the National Energy Board’s hearings on the Northern Gateway oil pipeline proposal, I have a prediction. B.C. will never see this pipeline. And that’s probably the best outcome. The first reason is the nearly unanimous opposition of informed Kitimat-area residents, led by Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross and skilled local volunteers who described the marine environment of the Kitimat estuary. There was speculation that Ross, who was just appointed to chair Premier Christy Clark’s new Aboriginal Business and Investment Council, might bend on the oil proposal. His testimony put that notion to rest. The Haisla, Haida, Gitga’at and other members of the Coastal First Nations group put their marker down on managed logging and

eco-tourism years before this pipeline debate heated up. California do-gooders may have coined the term “Great Bear Rainforest,” but make no mistake, these tribes run the place. Moving inland, the Nor thern Gateway pipeline route is a tangle of dozens of asserted traditional territories, some in the century-old Treaty 8 zone and others Tom with no legal settleFLETCHER ment. Our courts will require at least another generation of millionaire lawyers to untangle the territorial claims involved, no matter what the B.C., Canadian or Chinese governments may wish to do with this oil. The Haisla have embraced liquefied natural gas ships, plants

and pipelines, which may be all the industrial development the region can handle. Condensate can continue to be shipped into Kitimat by tankers and sent by railcar to Alberta to dilute bitumen. Which brings me to the alternatives to Northern Gateway. CP Rail just announced a major investment in its U.S. main line south of Saskatchewan, to transport crude oil from the Bakken Formation, an emerging source of shale oil and gas under Saskatchewan, Alberta and North Dakota. CP shipments out of North Dakota went from 500 carloads in 2009 to more than 13,000 carloads in 2011. The new target is 70,000. B.C.’s likeliest alternative for oilsands crude is the existing Trans Mountain pipeline, which has been pumping Alberta oil and refined products to the West Coast at Burrard Inlet for nearly 60 years.

Port Moody’s Ioco refinery is gone, but Chevron’s Burnaby plant remains, and some crude goes out by tanker or pipeline to refineries south of B.C. The current owner of Trans Mountain, Kinder Morgan Canada, is naturally watching the Enbridge battle closely. A Kinder Morgan representative provided the following information about tanker traffic from their Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby. In 2011 there were 32 tankers loaded at Westridge, down from 69 in 2010. Demand varies widely (there were no tankers in 2000) and current traffic is similar to what went out of Burrard Inlet in the 1970s. Contrary to popular belief, there is not yet a major surge to Asia. For every 10 ships that load at Westridge, on average eight sail to California, one to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries, and only one to Asia.

Current Port Metro Vancouver rules allow Aframax-class tankers (80,000 to 119,000 dead weight tons) to pass under the Lions Gate and Second Narrows bridges, but they can’t take on a full load. That would require dredging in Second Narrows, which would increase general shipping safety as well as capacity. Kinder Morgan has not yet formally applied to twin the Trans Mountain line. If it does expand its priceless right of way, the capacity would be greater than the Enbridge proposal. One way or another, that oil will move. The professional environmentalist gong show over Enbridge is still to come. More on that next week.

No right to complain during tough times The letter from Kee Lan TeoMacDonald in which the writer plays semantics regarding the teacher’s job action or strike is irritatingly offensive (‘Teachers are not on strike’, Progress letters, Jan.17). I really don’t care what the heck the action is called, all I know is that the union has convinced the teachers to withhold certain services from the students. The students are the innocents here, but that’s the union way, isn’t it? Okay, the writer claims the classroom sizes at 25 are too big. Maybe, however, a lot of us survived much bigger classes throughout our school years.

Sometimes you have to just bite it when times are tough. The other complaint is they work “12 to 16 hours a day, six days a week, facing insurmountable challenges”. If it’s that bad, (and I do think there might be a bit of hyperbole with those hours for all teachers) then there is the option of looking for other employment. My wife and I have our own business and we work – and worry – a hell of a lot of hours without the holidays, without the professional days, without teacher’s salaries or benefits. We would happily take either the salary of the average teacher or the benefits. Either one would

be like manna from heaven during these economic times. As independent business people we don’t have the option of negotiating with the government for more money or better conditions. We chose it, we live with it and we haven’t moaned, groaned, our torn our hair out about it. But it burns our butts to hear how hard done by the teachers are especially after looking at salaries and benefits. And by the way, what cuts to what services should the government make so our teachers can get more for themselves? Andy Fraser

Attack ads show Liberal desperation “In preparation for the provincial election on 2013, Christy Clarke and the BC “Liberals” are obviously strategizing and preparing for their confrontation with the NDP. Their attack ads against Adrian Dix shows that they are desperate and are willing to utilize outright lies to set their agenda. I put quotation marks around the word “Liberal”, because we all know that they are not Liberals in any sense of the word. They are but a dog’s breakfast - a coalition of Reformers, Socreds, Conservatives and few smattering of former Liberals that joined together in order to

defeat the NDP. Clarke herself has a strategy to “out conser vative” the Conser vatives themselves in the faint hope that they can continue this “anything but the NDP” strategy that worked so well in 2001. I don’t think that the people will be so fooled this time around. Clarke has hired the former senior advisor to Stephen Harper, Ken Boessenkool as her chief of staff and the former Reform advisor, Dimitri Pantazopoulus remains on her office staff. At the local level here in Chilliwack, Clarke has chosen Chuck Strahl’s former staffer to run as the “BC Liberal” candi-

date in the up-coming provincial by-election. Clarke is obviously hoping to tie into that perceived Conservative vote in the upper Fraser canyon and -hopefullyfor her- lay the groundwork for a Conservative vote in 2013. The new BC Conservative Party may have something to say about that one. These incidents illustrate what I have been saying for many, many years- that there are no fundamental differences between the “Conser vative” or “Liberal” parties in BC- that they both are controlled, lock, stock and barrel by the Corporate sector. Many corporations give large chunks of monies to

both parties, while the NDP receives relatively little monies from union donations. It is long overdue that more people accepted the reality that- while the BC Liberals and Conser vatives are the mouthpieces of Corporate BC, the NDP is working tirelessly for the common working person, wether she/he be an hourly wage-earner, a nurse, a teacher, a fireman, a farmer or a small business person. Meanwhile, we can set back and watch the ridiculous attack ads that, hopefully, all intelligent British Columbians will recognize them for what they are- a distortion of the reality.” Dick Harrington Chilliwack, BC

Donations appreciated, says SPCA This letter is to express our gratitude to the businesses in our community who support the BC SPCA Chilliwack branch by putting out a coin box, and to the public who fill them for the animals. Your donations – be they nickels, dimes or pennies do add up and your generosity

A fire in a vacant house that injured a Chilliwack firefighter was likely set by transients, Assistant Fire Chief Ian Josephson said last week. But whether the Jan. 4 fire was set deliberately or started by accident is an open question. “It does put our guys at risk,” Josephson said, about fire calls to vacant buildings. “Why should we go into a vacant rundown building?” It’s an owner’s responsibility to board up buildings that are

going to be left vacant, he said, but the fire department won’t wait to secure a building that it learns is vacant. Because “word gets out pretty quickly” among squatters and transients when a building is open, he said, the city will secure the building and add the cost to the owner’s property tax. Even if legitimate renters move out of a building without notifying the owner, according to city bylaws, landlords are still responsible for checking their properties regularly and securing them against squatters moving in.

Often, transients build fires in vacant houses and buildings, or use propane stoves for heating and cooking which become fire hazards. Josephson said Chilliwack has had relatively few such fires in past years as the fire department works closely with city bylaw enforcement officers to identify and secure vacant buildings before they become a hazard. Fortunately, the firefighter injured in the Jan. 4 fire fell into a crawl space and suffered a bad sprain, rather than falling to a full floor below and likely suffering a more serious

injury. “It could have gone a different way completely,” Assistant Fire Chief Jim MacDonald said at the time. Firefighters from three fire halls responded to the 4 a.m. fire call, and were able to extinguish the flames before they spread throughout the rest of the abandoned house. Anyone with information about the fire is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS or the Chilliwack Fire Department at 604-793-2730. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

New crime hot spots were reported by the RCMP last Friday in areas of Fairfield Island, Downtown Chilliwack, Yale Road near Hocking Avenue, Yale Road near Lickman/ Evans Parkway and the Garrison Crossing area. The RCMP regularly identifies areas of heavy crime rates in Chilliwack and other Fraser Valley communities so residents can

watch for incidents of suspicious activity and report them to police. The COMPSTAT or “comparative statistics” model of intelligenceled policing helps the RCMP deploy resources where they are most needed in an effort to reduce crime. RCMP Supt. Keith Robinson said the COMPSTAT model has been “very effective” in reducing crime in the Fraser Valley.

In the latest hot spots report, Fairfield Island had four residential break-ins reported on Conrad Street, Brice Road and Manor Drive since Dec. 11. There was also one theft from a motor vehicle in the area, and suspicious activity was reported south of Fairfield in the Quarry Road area on Woods Road and Beaver Crescent. In Downtown Chilliwack, there were

Health care system ‘stuck in ’60s’ Black Press Canada’s premiers are taking a first step to reforming a public health care system that is decades out of date, the president of the Canadian Medical Association said Tuesday. Dr. John Haggie endorsed an announcement by premiers meeting in Victoria to fast-track solutions to structural problems that all agree can not continue as the huge baby boom generation begins to retire. And he quickly cut through the political squabbling that has surrounded health care funding for years. “The difficulty is that medicare

has never evolved,” Haggie told reporters at the Council of the Federation meeting. “It’s a publicly funded system, but it’s stuck in a model of acute illness back in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Eighty per cent of Canada’s disease burden is chronic care that needs to be administered in the community. It needs to be administered at home rather than in expensive institutions.” On Monday, Prime Minister Stephen Harper rejected suggestions from B.C. and other provinces that Ottawa’s new population-based health care funding formula be modified to reflect more seniors, more remote communities or other drivers of health

care costs around the country. B.C. Premier Christy Clark announced Tuesday morning that Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall and Prince Edward Island Premier Robert Ghiz will chair a working group to come up with three areas of reform in time for the next premiers’ meeting in Halifax this summer. Wall said other provinces can learn from B.C.’s efforts to improve community and home care. He also said provinces have to find a way to stop bidding against each other for scarce doctors, nurses and other skilled workers whose salaries account for about 70 per cent of provinces’ health care bills.

Donna Gumprich grew up with six brothers and sisters in a rather modest home in Saskatoon. She has very fond memories of her childhood, though she recalls that it was a rather boisterous household. “We didn’t grow up with much, so we learned how to repurpose the things that we did have,” she admitted. Although the thought of lightening ones’ footprint on the planet wasn’t really a conscious decision back in Ana those days, today, MACEDO it has become a way of life and a passion for Donna. Her goal is to help people move towards a healthier lifestyle; all the while lightening the ecological footprint on Mother Earth. For as long as she can remember, Donna has had an interest in fashion. “I used to watch old movies just for the clothing,” she laughed. She married young; admitting that back then she didn’t know any better. “I was married at 18 and I know that this was rather young but it just seemed like the right thing to do at the time. I don’t regret it because I have two beautiful children as a result. He was a wonderful man but just not the right man for me,” she reflected. After the split, her husband moved out west and a short time later, Donna and her brother decided to make the trek out to BC too. “We moved to Vancouver without a job, we knew no one and we must have had about $500 between us. My goodness, that was about twenty-seven years ago now,” she chuckled. Being a determined, motivated woman, it didn’t take her long to find a job. She began

working at a restaurant where she was a hostess by night and their bookkeeper by day. “I did this for a couple of years and then decided to pursue my first love which was fashion. I went to the Helen Lafeaux School of Fashion Design and loved every minute of it. I was even named Top Design Student,” she enthused. It was a two year program but she rolled it into one year, while still working full time. “I stayed up until 4 a.m. many times doing homework.” Aside from her interest in fashion, Donna also had a keen interest in designing jewellery. “I studied gold and silversmithing in Vancouver for two years. I never did pursue it but it was something that really interested me.” After graduating, she quickly came to the realization that while she would love a career in fashion design, it was one that wouldn’t pay her well enough to live on. “Instead, I took a job as manager of a higher end British clothing store in West Vancouver. I remained there for about a year and a half but the

job wasn’t leading me anywhere, so I went to work for Jenny Craig when they first opened up in Canada,” she said. Within six months, Donna was a Regional Supervisor, where for the next five years she was responsible for five centres. “I had to make sure that we met their sales targets and I was also in charge of all of the hiring, firing and the training. It was a great job and I learned so much. I had the opportunity to travel and there was a lot of personal development,” she said. While she worked at Jenny Craig, she became a friend of a gal from Chilliwack who was getting married and she invited Donna to the wedding. “I didn’t know anything about Chilliwack but that night I met my future husband, Shane. There was a definite spark the night we first met and three years later, we were married,” she laughed. Following her move to Chilliwack, Donna operated the restaurant at the Bingo Hall for ten years. “I loved it but eventually it got to be too much. I was

Chilliwack parents use social media to promote early French immersion Parents in Chilliwack are taking to social media to drum up support for an early French immersion program in the public school district. This is a significant change in the way parents have advocated for French immersion in their communities, according to the Canadian Parents for French organization. While parents have always been involved in shaping French immersion programs, it’s the first time in 43 years of French immersion being offered in B.C. that parents have led a social media based campaign to engage other parents, as well as to lobby school trustees for action. “Using the connective power of Facebook and Twitter, parents in Chilliwack are taking it upon themselves to drum up support for the creation of a new French immersion program in their community,” said Glyn Lewis, executive director of Canadian Parents for French, B.C. and Yukon. “For 43 years, French immersion parents have used telephone trees, newsletters, and good old fashioned living room meetings to spread the word and to organize the parent community – this group of social media savvy parents in Chilliwack is ushering in a new and exciting age of parent engagement and involvement.” Currently the absence of an early

French immersion (EFI) program in Chilliwack means that students who wish to enrol in French immersion must travel outside the school district to attend such a program in Abbotsford or other communities where EFI is offered. The Chilliwack group has regularly been updating its supporters via Facebook and Twitter on its progress, and its plans to push the issue forward. It’s also informed its supporters on the actions they can take to help the issue along, and have answered numerous questions posed by the general public via those sites. It’s also currently undertaking an informal email survey on how many potential children there are for early French immersion within the Chilliwack school district. To respond to that survey, send an email with your child’s birth year to earlyimmersion@gmail.com. The group intends to present the results of that survey to school board officials in the near future. For more information on the cause, visit the early French immersion Chilliwack Facebook group at www. facebook.com/earlyimmersion, or its Twitter page at www.twitter.com/earlyimmersion. The group can also be contacted by email at earlyimmersion@gmail.com.

Ukulele craze continues in Chilliwack hit on something good, something worth nurturing.” Now the Uke Club 3.0 is set to go every Wednesday night at Decades. Yates figures the ukulele is popular not only because is it easy and versatile, but it’s also “hard to keep from laughing when you hear that gentle, folksy sound.” Interest in the uke globally has hit a fever pitch. Eddie Vedder released an all-ukulele album last year. Then there’s the superpopular uke version of Over the Rainbow showcased last season on the

hit TV show Glee. CBC Radio did a segment on Ruby’s Ukes, a music studio in Vancouver about the therapeutic qualities of learning the ukulele. If you missed the first and second drop-in sessions, don’t worry, says Yates, it’s easy to catch up. The club is for anyone interested in ukulele. There’s a whole lot of cross-generational learning going on. “I was in the class last year and we all needed more,” said Yates. The first session of 2012 they worked on Over the Rainbow, refining the strumming and

chord changes. “That tune would be a great one to work up and make it our signature song.” They also tackled Sweet Georgia Brown, recognized by many because it was the theme song of the Harlem Globetrotters. “It was so much fun,” says the classically trained pianist who has become “fanatical” about the uke. The class meets Wednesdays at 7 p.m. in the meeting room at Decades Coffee Club. “Participants can buy punch cards so that they can drop in whenever it is convenient for them, rather than have to pay

had time to learn. “Making music is such a gift. You might think you’re giving it to yourself, but then realize you are actually giving to others.” Yates said he’s taken ukulele hero Jake Shimabukuro’s quote to heart: “If everyone played the ukulele, the world would be a better place.” More info about the Academy ukulele programs, Uke Club Levels and Uke Club 3.0 are available at the Chilliwack Academy of Music registration desk in the Cultural Centre, by calling 604.792.0790, or by visiting www.chilliwackmusic. com.

a tuition fee and risk losing out if they can’t make every class.” “We’ve also kept the cost low – $30 for 6 classes – to encourage commitment, cover the rent, but keep it affordable.” The idea is that people who are at least a little bit competent on the instrument (either through their own experience or by taking Uke Club Levels 1 and 2) will set the pace. Ultimately, Yates says, he’d like to form a thriving ukulele band in Chilliwack that can give performances and continue to attract adults who struggled with music lessons in the past or never

Grab your ukulele and join the club. Chilliwack Academy of Music has kicked off Uke Club 3.0 on the heels of a successful program started last summer. “We originally decided to run it as a drop-in class,” says Academy of Music Principal Graham Yates. They had no idea if the idea would fly in Chilliwack or not. “It was a risk.” But the class turned out to be a hit with groups of friends and couples captivated by the recent uke craze. “One night we packed 26 people into a small classroom,” he said. “That’s when I knew we’d

Morgan Pilling, Chilliwack, 2009 Recipient Hello, my name is Morgan Pilling and I am from Chilliwack, British Columbia. I am entering my third year at UVic pursuing my Bachelor of Commerce at the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business. Prior to attending UVic in the fall of 2009, I attended the University of the Fraser Valley for ten months where I graduated with the Architectural Drafting Technician Certificate. It is my plan to pursue a career in the drafting and architecture field. Ultimately I would love to own my own company, designing houses. I believe that the combination of my trades training with a BComm will get to where I see myself in the future. Outside of the classroom I am entering my second year as a Community Leader. This means I work and live within the dorms and am a part of the Residence Life Staff. This role keeps me involved on campus, allows me to meet new people and learn a lot about myself. I also enjoy singing, playing guitar, going for runs and heading to the beach to relax! Lastly, I would like to thank Black Press for helping me attain my goals!

The walls of Stephen Dobson’s home, tucked into the ever-encroaching woods of Rolley Lake Provincial Park, are filled with his paintings. You can follow canvases from the foyer as they wind their way through the house, up stairs into the living room and into his office. There are four paintings propped near his dining room table, still waiting to be hung, and row upon row of paint-

ings in a room below. That’s what happens when you are a prolific painter who works on his art daily for eight straight years. Paintings pile up. “If you work at something, it becomes second nature to you,” says Dobson, whose latest show opened at the Chilliwack Museum on Saturday. “I really encouraged myself at the start to paint, paint and paint.” As a manager for large construction projects, Dobson isn’t someone who grew up with a brush in hand. Eight years ago, Dobson and his wife were walking on Jasper Avenue in Edmonton when they happened on a small painting in a store window. The painting was a Renoir, although Dobson didn’t know that at the time, and he thought out loud: I can do something like that. That Christmas, his wife bought him a set of paints. “I haven’t been able to put them down since. It grabbed me and drew me in. I can’t wait for my

He often uses pallet knives and his fingers while painting.

thoughts about the people, places and things he sees around him. His paintings capture light in fleeting moments as it illuminates a mountain, building or face and evoke a sense of timelessness. It’s perhaps why Dobson was asked to join the invitation-only Stave Falls Artist Group, less than a year after he began painting. Its annual fall show is the only event where the public gets to see his work up close. Since 2010, Dobson’s paintings have picked up several American Art Awards, winning first, third and fifth place in a variety of categories. This is a competition open to artists from around the world, juried by 25 well- respected galleries across the United States. Eight years on, Dobson’s compulsion to paint isn’t waning. After work, he still spends between three and four hours in front of a canvas, on weekends, 20 hours can disappear in a blink.

waiting for layers to dry completely. It’s a technique that’s forced him to get better at drawing and study his subjects closely. “It’s almost like putting butter on a canvas,” says Dobson with delight. “If I can’t get it right the first time, I’ll throw it out.” Whether he’s painting cityscapes or landscape, Dobson tries to express his feelings in his art and hopes to bring the observer closer to his

It may be worth it to get up a little early on a Saturday for local opera fans. Two free tickets to see Enchanted Island on Jan. 21 are up for grabs for intrepid Chilliwack Progress readers who act quickly. The opera Enchanted Island, premiered by the Met last month, offers a pastiche of music by a bunch of baroque composers, including Handel and Vivaldi.

Chiefs prepare to battle the Warriors Eric Welsh The Progress The Chiefs are home Sunday night, hosting a surging Westside Warriors squad at Prospera Centre. For the first time this season, there’s an early puck drop with the game starting at 5 p.m. The Warriors come into the weekend riding a modest three game winning streak. The last two wins came at the expense of a sad-sack Salmon Arm Silverbacks squad, with Westside taking a 4-0 decision Friday night and a 6-3 decision on Sunday. The Warriors will take the wins where they can get them, given the season they’ve had. Westside came into the year as a preseason favourite to lurk near the top of the Interior conference and give teams like Penticton and Vernon a challenge for the conference title. Instead, injuries and inconsistent play have left the Warriors at 14-19-1-5. A lot would have to go right for them to make the playoffs at this point. The win moved the Warriors 10 points behind Chilliwack for the final playoff position in the BCHL Interior. Of the club’s remaining 21 games, six are against the Chiefs. Warriors coach Rylan Ferster knows his team has to go on a big run to reel in the Chiefs, Vernon Vipers or Prince George Spruce Kings. “We are still trying to climb in the standings,” he said. “Until you are mathematically eliminated there is still a chance. We went through so much adversity early in the season with being banged up and trying to sort out our goaltending issues, it’s taken us a long time to get going. But we have some really young, skilled guys here and it’s been fun lately.” The Warriors took a realist’s approach to last

week’s CJHL trade deadline, shipping out veterans for youth. One blockbuster deal saw captain Izaak Berglund, along with Michael King, traded to the Alberta Junior Hockey League’s Lloydminster Bobcats in exchange for future considerations. Berglund had four goals and 12 assists, along with 55 minutes in 33 games. King had four goals and 19 points in 37 games. In another get-younger move, the Warriors dealt defenceman Klay Kachur (91) to Battlefords

(Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League) for 1993born defenceman Curtis Toneff, a 6-foot-1, 180pound native of Nanaimo. The Tribe also bolstered their back end, by picking up (93) defenceman Mathew Berr y-Lamontagna, who had just been released by the Western Hockey League’s Prince Albert Raiders. The Warriors named a homegrown player to replace Berglund as their next captain, with West Kelowna’s Max French donning the C. “It’s an honour,” French

said. “We have a great group of guys here and a great leadership group, and I think it’s going to be really exciting going forward.” French is one of four Westside forwards that the Chiefs will have to pay particularly close attention to Sunday night. He leads the team in goals with 17 and sits fourth in points with 22. Connor Dempsey is Westside’s points leader, with 44 (including 16 goals) through 35 games. Dempsey has committed to the NCAA Dartmouth College Big Green for

2012. Marcus Basara and Travis Blanleil are also dangerous players. Basara is committed to the Alaska Fairbanks Nanooks for 2013 and has 11 goals and 29 points through 39 games. Blanleil, a 17-year-old Kelowna kid, has 11 goals and 23 points in 36 games, including a hat-trick against Salmon Arm last weekend. Chilliwack and Westside haven’t seen much of each other this season, with only three prior meetings. The Chiefs beat the Warriors 4-3 Oct. 8 behind two goals from Derek Huisman and a

41 save effort from goaltender Bryton Udy. The teams met again Nov. 19, with Chilliwack taking a 5-4 overtime win. Alexandre Perron-Fontaine scored the winner in that one. PerronFontaine had another during regulation time, with Huisman, Malcolm Gould and Spencer Graboski aslo scoring for the Chiefs. Udy stopped 41 of 45 shots in net. • Sunday is ‘Skate with the Chiefs’ night, with fans invited to hit the ice at Prospera Centre post-game and skate with the players and coaches.

Storm start slow, finish fast The Chilliwack secondary school senior girls basketball team overcame a ton of adversity to go 2-2 at last weekend’s Top Ten Centennial tournament in Coquitlam. The Storm came in as the 16th seed, and fell 87-42 to the top-ranked Riverside Rapids in their opener. Christina Vandenbrink led CSS with 14 points with Janine Leijen adding nine. The Storm fell to 0-2 with a 54-40 loss to the ninthranked Gleneagle Talons (Coquitlam). The Talons killed CSS with long range bombs, getting nine three-

pointers from five different shooters. Nicole Bartel led the Storm offence with 14 points, with Natalie Hoogeveen adding 13. CSS got their first win against the host Centennial Centaurs, taking a 59-36 final behind 13 points from Kelsi McLean and 11 from Megan Wierks. All nine CSS players had at least one point. The defensive-minded Storm held the Centaurs to five third quarter points, then turned it up a notch, limiting Centennial to just a single point in the fourth quarter.

CSS finished the tournament with a 60-48 win over the 13th ranked Kitsilano Blue Demons with Vandenbrink picking up 14 points and McLean 11. Chilliwack started the day with 10 players but ended up losing Nicole Bartel to a knee injury (possible MCL strain) and Wierks to a possible concussion. Peyton Norrish missed the entire tournament with a concussion. The Storm are home Thursday, hosting Abbotsford’s W.J. Mouat at 6:30 p.m.

Cascades take two in capital The University of the Fraser Valley basketball women downed the University of Victoria Vikes 61-49 on Saturday to sweep back to back games in the capital city. The Cascades improved their Canada West regular season record to 9-3, which leaves them one game ahead of UBC (8-2) for first place in the west division. The Cascades and Vikes were tied 25-25 at halftime Saturday

before a strong second half allowed UFV to pull away. The third quarter was particularly solid as the Cascades held U-Vic to 10 points. “I thought our defence came up huge in the later parts of the third after Victoria had taken a six point lead,” said UFV bench boss Al Tuchscherer. “We really limited their opportunities and had some timely scores at the other end. We tried to shoot ourselves out

of the game, but we eventually got some balance back. I think we are pretty tough when we do that.” Winnipeg native Tessa Klassen led UFV with 17 points, adding four assists. Chilliwack’s Sarah Wierks added 10 points, three steals and a teamhigh 12 rebounds while her sister, Nicole Wierks, chipped in with 12 points. • The UFV women started the weekend with a 70-57 win over

Speedskaters psyched for BC Winter Games Eric Welsh The Progress She is asked about her expectations heading into the 2012 BC Winter Games, and Quinn McKay doesn’t hesitate for even a second. “I want to have lots of fun and hopefully come home with a medal,” she says with a mischievous grin. “I might have to take it off someone’s neck, but they’d better watch out for me on the podium.” McKay and teammate Dallas Hawkes erupt in laughter because she’s obviously joking. Or is she? It’s hard to tell. When you watch these two members of the Sardis Fliers Speedskating Club, you see 13-year-old girls acting as 13-year-old girls usually act. They laugh and chat-

ter and don’t appear to take anything all that seriously. Get them on the ice, however, and they take on different personas. McKay’s face is set in determination as she flies around the corners and tears down the straightaways of the makeshift short-track at Twin Rinks. You can see the stone-cold concentration in Hawkes as she keeps pace with her teammate. At that moment, you see the competitor within, and in your mind’s eye you can picture either one of them standing atop the podium, clutching a gold medal. They are joined on the ice by two others. Dominique Hawkenson and Rebekah Clemons, both 14 years old, are also heading to the BC Winter Games in

Vernon. Though the games are still more than a month away (Feb. 23-26), it is a constant topic of conversation. On a snowy night in Chilliwack, when most people are doing their best to stay inside where it’s warm, these girls are in an ice cold arena honing their technique and imagining what the Games are going to be like. Hawkenson and Clemons talk animatedly about the nuances of their sport. “Most of the time I’m really anxious,” Hawkenson said of those tense final seconds before the start of a race. “The butterflies really set in, and I talk to myself a lot.” “When the buzzer goes, to me everything kind of slows down, like slow motion,” Clemons chimes in. “And then

everything gets all fast again.” Different races bring different strategy and the Vernon Games will offer the full range. The short races, the 200 and 400 metres, are all-out sprints from start to finish. In a sport where the margin of victory can literally be the blink of an eye, one misstep can be the difference between winning and losing. Between Hawkenson and Clemons, both agree that Clemons is stronger in the short distances. “She’s been skating since she was four years old, so she’s probably faster,” Hawkenson grudgingly admitted. “In short distances it’s

all in-the-moment thinking, and she’s good at that.” “I just think fast, fast, fast and move my legs as fast as I can,” Clemons added. The longer distances offer more strategy. Those who treat them like a sprint are left gassed at the end. Like the tortoise and the hare, a steady approach works best. “She is really good at drafting (skating behind someone to reduce wind resistance),” Clemons said of Hawkenson’s long distance excellence. “She’s got everything planned out the whole time. She knows what speed to go at and where to go. She is a strategic genius.”

H a w k e n s o n , Clemons, Hawkes and McKay have all been able to use their various strengths to dust the local competition. In one month, everything gets bigger. Their competition in Vernon brings together the best of the best in BC. “We were all freaking out and screaming when we found out we were going, and people were staring at us like we were a bunch of freaks,” McKay said of the moment the quartet found out they were going. “We’re going to have fun. We’re going to meet a lot of people and make new friends. It’s awesome.” “To get into the

Games is a huge privilege for everybody,” Hawkes added. “This is one of the goals we’ve all been focusing on, and now we’re almost there.” All four girls say they’ll be happy soaking up the atmosphere and skating well. If they medal, great. If not, they say they’ll be fine with it as long as they skate a good race. Still, Games organizers would be well advised to place some extra security around the podium when McKay is around. Just in case.

Cascade men earn Victoria split The University of the Fraser Valley men’s basketball team split a weekend series in Victoria. The Cascades led off the backto-back with a win Friday night, taking a 79-70 decision over the U-Vic Vikes. UFV came out strong defensively, holding the Victoria Vikes to 16 first quarter points. The Cascade shooters found their range in the second quarter. Abbotsford natives Sheldon Bjorgaard and Jordan Blackman hit key baskets to erase a nine point deficit. Joel Friesen (Abbotsford) capped an 11 point run with a three pointer from the corner, and UFV and U-Vic were tied 34-34 at the half. The Cascades led 54-52 after three quarters and led by as many as 10 points in the fourth quarter before settling for a nine point win. “I Thought we played together for a long stretch of this game, and put together very close

to 40 hard-played minutes,” said Cascades coach Barnaby Craddock. “We needed to do that versus a highly ranked Victoria team.” UFV was led by Surrey native Kyle Grewal’s 18 point performance and six rebounds. Friesen added 17 points three boards and two assists. Coquitlam’s Sam Freeman scored 15 points with three assists and all nine Cascades

scored at least two points in the team’s most well-balanced effort of the season. — The good vibes disappeared in the Saturday rematch, won 91-67 by the Vikes. UFV fell behind early and never recovered. U-Vic established a double digit lead and held an 18 point advantage at halftime. “We were outplayed from start to finish this evening and we struggled to find any kind of mental focus for more than the briefest moments,” Craddock commented. “It was definitely a disappointing performance after playing with such cohesion the night before.” Grewal led the Cascades again with 21 points and eight rebounds. Friesen added 13 points. UFV’s Canada West west division record fell to 7-5, good for third place. U-Vic improved to 10-2.

turkey roll. Her best talent of all was “parenting”. She really did have all the answers. When in doubt, ”Ask Grandma, she’ll know!” The family would like to thank the staff and residents at Birchwood for giving Mom a wonderful home for over two years. Thank you to the staff at Bradley Centre for the very compassionate care shown her in her final few months. A very, very special thank you to Dr. Gord Enns. You are indeed, as Mom would say, “Just the Greatest”. When there’s a sprinkle on the newly planted seeds; a gentle cooling breeze on a hot summer day; when we see the first smiles of the cutest baby yet; enjoy a good laugh from an old story told once again or

Ina and Abbie owned and operated a dairy farm in “Tooptown” on Yale Road and raised 5 children born to the couple over a span of 18 years. A son and daughter and then 9 years later the start of what they would refer to as their second crop, 3 more daughters. In her “spare time” and before the arrival of the 2nd crop, Ina was chief cook and bottle washer for her little cafe – The Refresh Inn – famous for her burgers and pies. In 1967 Ina was widowed and moved from the farm to Stevenson Road. In 1970 she married John Tutte and they were happily married for 36 years when she was widowed once again. She always said she felt very fortunate to have found true love twice. Ina was a very talented lady. She was an avid gardener; she could sew, knit or crochet everything from afghans and clothes to the Sesame Street characters. She was an amazing cook and baker – even catered her children’s weddings complete with her homemade, one-of-a-kind
