Getting somewhere on transit Jennifer Feinberg The Progress When it comes to transit, the stumbling block is always cost. The 3rd question of The Progress council election survey was as follows: “Transit is a perennial issue for Chilliwack residents and a number of studies have taken on the problem in recent years, both locally and intra-regionally. What can city council do to increase the transit options?” (Complete responses are available at www.theprogress.com) One of the more comprehensive ideas being touted by a couple of people running for city council was [more-online an integrated vision www.theprogress.com that links walking, biking and transit routes. Chilliwack is spread out with a relatively small population, making service a challenge, noted a couple. Some knew that local improvements are already on the way, including quicker service in the Sardis-Vedder corridor. With several Chilliwack transit routes acknowledged to be “under-utilized” part of the answer is to upgrade the system with better route planning, said another. Adding transit hubs might help, as well as more frequent service, and a “green” transit option for commuters to Abbotsford. Without improved service, there can be no increase in ridership. At least three candidates are in favour of a more serious look at light rail transit between Chilliwack and other Lower Mainland and valley communities, but some others said it made more sense to attract local jobs instead. Another said the city should stop spending money on rural routes and focus on service to industrial and shopping areas and the downtown core. At total of 16 of 20 candidates answered the transit question, and their completed answers can be found at www.theprogress.com jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Hillside plan given dose of reality Draft proposal takes infrastructure costs into account Jennifer Feinberg
vicing and infrastructure into account. The 4,000-people mark was pegged as the threshold at which infrastructure costs would rise “significantly,” creating uncertainty as to how those costs could be shared equitably, she said. “In 2010, staff began to look at how we could integrate updated expectations around the size of the community, with a servicing strategy ensuring cost recovery in place to support it,” Stanton said. They looked at the capacity to support growth, in terms of the geo-technical limitations “especially” around Panorama Heights slide area, as well as looking at environmental and market forces. Topography in the hillside
The Progress A more “viable” comprehensive area plan for Chilliwack’s Eastern Hillsides was received by city council on Tuesday. “It’s a much more sustainable plan than we’ve had in the past,” manager of long-range planning Karen Stanton told council during a presentation. Buildout potential on the hillsides was reduced to 1,700 homes for about 4,000 people — less than a third of what was envisioned in the mid-1990s. The plan has been in the works for a year and a half, with input from staff, various experts, and residents who attended open house events. What’s different is that it takes the real costs of ser-
regions can be “very steep” with 45 per cent of the land at more than 30 per cent grade, which is not considerable suitable for development, she said. There’s also a scenario in the plan’s appendix that looks at up to 6,000 homes, but it’s contingent on about $20 million in infrastructure money being produced “up front” for rebuilding Annis Road and changes to Prairie Central Road. Mayor Gaetz thanked staff for the area plan, “for giving the residents and developers of the area an idea of what is attainable. “I know there was some arm-wrestling over this, so thanks for taking the calm approach.”
After the council meeting she said that council had not specifically discussed what the impact the revised plan might have on land prices. “We didn’t have that talk, but two areas that will be impacted are those who bought land on speculation, thinking they would be able to achieve higher densities,” said Gaetz. “And the second is residents, who I think will be pleased with this decrease in density. It will probably be more expensive to purchase land but it will be for the niche market.” It’s “too late” to go back and collect infrastructure monies from older developments, Gaetz pointed out. “So obviously this put pressure on the community to densify in other places to attain our regional growth targets,” Gaetz said.

Social media making the grade in Chilliwack schools Katie Bartel The Progress Social media is no longer the enemy in the eyes of teachers and school administrators. In fact, many in the Chilliwack school district are embracing it. Several teachers are filling up the Twitter feed, have created schoolrelated blogs, and posted curriculum and schedules to individual class websites. District officials have taken note. One of the four pillars in the Chilliwack school district’s strategic plan, which was updated in 2010, is an integration of technology. After years of chasing the “latest and greatest” in technology, the
school district is now focusing on how to use technology to better serve its school community. “We’ve spent a lot of time looking at technology as technology,” said superintendent Michael Audet. “But what we’re trying to focus on now is how can we use technology to help our students be more successful in school, how can we use technology to make our jobs easier, how can we use technology to have reciprocal, interactive communication with parents, staff, students?” But Twitter? Facebook? Blogs? How does that better student achievement? It strengthens communication, said Audet – another of the strategic plan’s four pillars. The school community is chang-
ing. Students today have grown up with iPods, iPads, smartphones, and regularly communicate via social media. As do many of their parents. As well, with jobs and extracurricular activities and other such responsibilities, it’s not always possible for parents to attend meetings. With social media, more people can contribute to the conversation. “We know that the best kind of communication is face-to-face, but sometimes that’s not possible,” said Audet. “What we’re seeing in social media is a potential for sharing and discussing information that engages people in a two-way conversation and provides us with feedback without having to go face-to-face.
We’re now seeing social media as a way of having interactive communication with more people.” However, there’s still a grey area with social media. Currently the district does not have a set of guidelines in place for staff who represent the district in blogs and on sites like Twitter. “There doesn’t seem to be a clear rule book established,” said Audet. “We need people to understand that if they say they’re an employee of the Chilliwack school district, there is a message they need to keep in mind, they need to be transparent, authentic, consistent. “We have to do our due diligence to make sure that happens.” District administration are working on developing guidelines.
■ R OSEDALE R ECOGNITION
Audet hopes that by tapping into social media, the school district will see more participation from parents and the larger school community. “We need to reach as much of our audience as we can,” said Audet. “We know that parents are invested in this, and we want to engage those parents, we want them to join the conversation. Will social media provide us with an opportunity to reach more people with our message, ask questions, get feedback? Probably.” The Chilliwack school district’s Twitter handle is twitter.com/ Chilliwacksd33. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33
Candidates grapple with aboriginal achievement Katie Bartel The Progress Aboriginal students are some of the most marginalized students in B.C. They are disengaged, consistently struggle through academics, and in many cases drop out of school prematurely. Chilliwack is no exception. As reported in the B.C. Education Ministry’s 2008-09 completion rates, just 45.4 per cent of aboriginal students in Chilliwack graduated six years after starting Grade 8. Tyrone McNeil, president of the First Nations education steering community, told The Progress in a past interview that more than 95 per cent of Chilliwack’s aboriginal students who start kindergarten don’t graduate. School trustee candidates were asked www.theprogress.com by The Progress what they would do to better serve aboriginal students if elected. (Complete responses from all the candidates who replied to our question can be found on The Progress website at www.theprogress.com.) Candidate Les Mitchell, a Métis elder, said trustees must read through the district’s aboriginal enhancement agreement to fully understand what the aboriginal community needs. The aboriginal enhancement agreement is a working agreement, signed in 2010, between the Chilliwack school district, Chilliwack’s aboriginal communities and the B.C. Education Ministry, with the purpose of enhancing educational success for aboriginal students. “It tells us what and how aboriginal people would like our children to be treated and schooled,” said Mitchell. Several candidates agreed the aboriginal enhancement agreement was a huge step towards improving success, but said there needs to be more.

Chilliwack woman charged for bogus bills A 34-year-old Chilliwack woman has been charged with five counts of using counterfeit money. But those five cases are only part of more than 20 reports of counterfeit money being used at Chilliwack businesses during the first week of October. Police believe Tina Olga Dorothy Breedon is responsible for five of the cases, but could not prove she is connected to the rest of the reports.
Counterfeit money in denominations of $20 and $50 were turning up at Chilliwack businesses between Oct. 3-11. The Chilliwack RCMP crime reduction unit investigated the reports along with the Integrated Counterfeit Enforcement Team. Breedon remains in custody pending court hearings. RCMP Cpl.

Grants in rural areas ‘nobody’s business but yours,’ FVRD director says Robert Freeman The Progress A $1,000 grant-in-aid to a nonprofit group opposed to a regional gravel removal plan was hotly debated at the Fraser Valley Regional District board meeting last Tuesday. Abbotsford councillor John Smith raised the question of whether grants should be approved for groups politically opposed to FVRD policies, which set off the debate. The grant-in-aid to the Actively Creating an Exceptional Society (ACES) was eventually approved, although the group is strongly opposed to the FVRD’s proposed gravel removal plan. “They may be lovely people,” Smith said, “(but) do they qualify for funding?” “If we’re going to go down that road ... should we be looking at our policy?” he asked. Area C director Wendy Bales, who made the motion, defended ACES’ good works in the community. “They have a different point of view,” she agreed, but they also hold Christmas family celebrations, community movie nights and monitor Lake Errock in partnership with environmental groups. Although electoral area directors may approve grants-in-aid that come from a fund paid for by area taxpayers, the full FVRD board must give final approval. That fact brought support for the ACES grant from Area A direc-
tor Lloyd Forman. “It’s your area, it’s your taxpayers money ... it’s nobody’s business but yours what they do with it,” he said. However, Abbotsford Mayor George Peary said he wouldn’t give his political support to the grant because Bales and Area B director Dennis Adamson had taken part in a protest in his city against public-private partnerships. “From my perspective, I vote against it,” the mayor said. Adamson characterized the debate as “city folk telling the rural folks” how to spend their money. And after the meeting he charged that opposition to the grant was politically motivated because of ACES’ opposition to the region’s proposed Aggregate Pilot Program to identify gravel removal areas. “They don’t like what (ACES) is saying about the APP,” he said. Dick Bogstie, Area F director and chairman of the FVRD’s rural areas committee, said the group’s opposition to the gravel plan never crossed his mind. “While I may not agree with ACES, they do considerable work in Lake Errock and are involved in a number of things that benefit the whole community,” he said. The grant-in-aid policy will be reviewed by staff for possible changes. Similar grants made by the municipal directors are governed by provincial legislation. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2
FVRD asked to partner in new children’s hospice Robert Freeman The Progress Nearly half the 428 children who have received ‘end of life’ care at the Canucks Place Hospice in Vancouver come from the Fraser Valley, a hospice official told the Fraser Valley Regional Board last week. F i l o m e n a Nalewajek, Canucks Place executive director, asked the FVRD board directors to consider becoming a partner in raising $13 million for an additional hospice in Abbotsford. She said the new 10-bed hospice would be located next to the Abbotsford General Hospital, on land donated by the city,
and with the regional Cancer Centre located there, would form a “campus of care” for children. “If these children weren’t coming to us, they’d be in hospitals,” she said. Forty-one per cent of the children die from cancer, many within weeks of admission, she said. Hospice of ficials were “alarmed” when they realized they were meeting only about 25 per cent of the demand for children’s palliative care in the province. “It was a bit alarming, and we knew we had to do something,” Nalewajek said, and the decision was made to look for a second hospice site. “We’re calling on
you to be a partner,” she told the FVRD board. “What we need is your help. We can only do what we do with the help of the communities.” Most of the funding for the hospice comes from community fundraising, she said, and about 80 per cent of donations go directly to the cost of care, which averages about $1,484 per bed per day. The Canucks Place hospice opened in 1995 to provide specialized pediatric palliative care to children living with lifethreatening illness. It’s hoped the new hospice in Abbotsford will open in late 2013 or early 2014. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2
A difference of 10 kilometres an hour can make the difference between losing control and staying in control on a wet surface. COLLEEN FLANAGAN/BLACK PRESS
Pay attention to driving conditions, warns ICBC Posted speed limit ideal for dry roads Phil Melnychuk Black Press So you’ve got your nice, new SUV with electronic stability control and four-wheel drive and ABS and all that. Ready for the snow and rain, right? Yes and no, says ICBC and the Justice Institute of B.C. While new vehicles, as of September, are all equipped with stability control computer-controlled systems that can control inputs on each wheel to minimize spin outs or skids, no technology can make up for stupid driving or recognize all road conditions. “It’s not a magic solution,” says Justice Institute driving instructor Norm Prosch. “It’s not magic and it’s not going to replace common sense and driving according to the conditions. “If you’re going too fast, that’s where the rubber meets the road, right there.” To make their point, ICBC and
the Justice Institute set up a demonstration at the B.C. Driving Centre at Pitt Meadows Regional Airport on Tuesday. Media climbed into a new Ford Escape, gunned it down a straight away to a series of traffic cones, then had to make sharp, evasive turns, according to lastminute signals. Piles of boxes that went flying, as in the TV show Canada’s Worst Driver, if the vehicle couldn’t stay in the lane, added to some effects when media drivers screwed up. To make their point, the track was flooded, to simulate driving in the rain. Prosch said a difference of 10 kilometres an hour can make the difference between losing control and staying in control on a wet surface, if evasive moves are needed. It could be possible to make a sudden lane change at 60 kilometres an hour, but lose control at 70 km/h, on a wet road. And often, if drivers are able to avoid the object, such as a cyclist
or pedestrian darting out, the difficult part is moving back into the lane safely. “Posted speed limits are ideal for dry roads,” added Alex Lee, manager of road safety programs. Driving is more than just the road, said Lee. “It’s the road and the darkness. Just change the frame of mind is the important thing.” The Pacific Traffic Education Centre, part of the JI is locating to Pitt Meadows in November and just got a new track coat of asphalt laid down on its training track. “Many drivers don’t realize that when they drive too fast for the road conditions, their risk of crashing increases significantly,” said Fiona Temple, ICBC’s road safety director. “The reality is that the posted speed limit is only for ideal or dry road conditions. You can help make our roads safer by slowing down – you’ll see more of the road and be better equipped to respond to the unexpected.”
Frigid forecast may mean more snow La Nina expected to bring colder temperatures Jeff Nagel Black Press Lower Mainland drivers who save money by forgoing snow tires may want to rethink their strategy this winter. A moderate La Nina weather pattern is expected to bring colder-than-normal temperatures to most of B.C. Environment Canada meteorologist David Jones said that may translate into more snow in the Lower Mainland. “I’d say it’s a good
year to get snow tires,” Jones said. “But remember other outcomes are possible.” One U.S. forecaster predicted the typically colder weather pattern from the Pacific Ocean could make this one of the chilliest winters in 20 years for Vancouver. But Jones called it “irresponsible” to go that far in making any predictions. He noted last winter was actually a strong La Nina yet there were few storms, relatively warm
temperatures and less snow than Jones had expected. “Whether it’s saving up to whack us this year, I don’t know,” he said. “It might happen. Is it predictable? I would say no.” The projection is for the 90-day temperature average over the winter to run one to two degrees colder than normal here. That would increase the odds of big dumps of snow in Metro Vancouver, Jones said.
While motorists interested in a smooth commute may be frustrated, skiers and local ski hill operators will likely be happy. “La Nina years are typically good for skiers because the snow stays, it doesn’t melt,” Jones said. “The freezing level is persistently lower.” The projection of another La Nina winter came from the U.S. National Weather Service, which noted it brings a strong chance of above-average precipitation across the Pacific Northwest.

Dust-up at Duke’s Pub Robert Freeman The Progress A 46-year-old Chilliwack man is facing charges of assault and uttering death threats after a fracas at Dukes Country Pub last week. Police said the suspect tossed around bar stools and threw an ashtray at the bartender’s head, before leaving the pub to ram the bartender’s truck with his own vehicle. “The man was known to the employees of the bar, but it is not known what exactly set him off,” Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said.
“It was an unfortunate incident that was most likely alcohol related,” she said. Police were called to the pub by a report of an “out of control” patron on Oct. 27 shortly after 10 p.m. The suspect was arrested and is facing several charges including assault with a weapon, uttering death threats, dangerous driving and impaired driving. The bartender suffered an injury above his eye. A police investigation continues. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Council gets the jump on bike park Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A proposed partnership between the City of Chilliwack and Fraser Valley Regional District will result in the creation of a “regionally significant� bike jump facility at Island 22. After the city levelled the bike jumps at Sheffield Way and Webb Avenue due to safety and liability issues, a better location was actively sought from among the city-owned properties. “We have a decade long relationship with FVRD for Island 22, and the site meets the criteria for a bike jump facility,� said parks official Dave Snider. The deal is the city pays $200,000 in capital costs for the design and construction, and
Corey Passenger hits the Sheffield bike jumps in Sardis in 2007. The area was eventually shut down by the city, because of safety and liability issues. KARI MEDIG/ PROGRESS FILE
FVRD chips in $10,000 for the annual maintenance and supervision costs, at the site they already run. The city will also coordinate the consultation process between the riders and the design consultant. “The remoteness of
the site was considered, but often these types of facilities become destination sites that people drive to,� said Snider. The main focus would be the bike jumps themselves, but there will also be bike components and bike trails. They’re looking to
expand the Webster block site to include some bike skills as well. Coun. Sue Attrill said they were excited to offer this to the community. Design and consultations are slated for early 2012 with construction foreseen in late spring of 2012. “Based on what we’re saying we see it as something that will attract not just users from Chilliwack but from across the region and for competitions as well,� said Coun. Stewart McLean. The proposal recommends starting the design and consultation process in early 2012 with construction starting in mid to late spring 2012, weather permitting.

But Michael Henshall, Electoral Area D candidate, said if elected he would propose that municipal directors “opt out of certain FVRD voting decisions.� “I do not feel rural
residents are fairly represented,� he said. “The shift in balance of power has given larger municipalities a balance of the votes over issues that may only affect rural areas.� The restructuring eliminated the Electoral Area Service Committee and merged FVRD operations into two divisions, the Regional and Corporate Ser vices Committee and the Community and Regulator y Ser vices Committee. Mel Waardenburg, Electoral Area C candidate, said he believes rural area representation

at the FVRD board needs to be reviewed as populations increase. “I live in the Harrison Mills area of Electoral Area C and the population has doubled in the last couple of years, and Hemlock Valley is poised for a huge expansion,� he said. David Lamson, incumbent director in Electoral Area E, called for more seats for electoral area directors on the new Regional and Corporate Services Committee, which is currently dominated by municipal directors. He also proposed dividing Electoral Area E in two, with a director for the Chilliwack River Valley and another for Cultus Lake/Columbia Valley. “This would give each new area representation more proportional to its population,� he said. Lloyd Forman, incumbent director in Area A said he believes the restructuring is “weighted too heavily in favour

‘Average’ Halloween night: Chilliwack RCMP Robert Freeman The Progress Nine people in Chilliwack were taken into custody Halloween night, and police responded to several reports of large groups of rowdy teenagers roaming the streets setting off firecrackers. But it was just “an average night” as far as policing goes on Halloween, RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said. “Although there were a few serious files, the majority of people were responsibly participating in the Halloween festivities and having a great time with their friends and families,” she said. The bad actors included one 18-yearold in a group of about 15 youths, who was arrested after he allegedly threw a firecracker at some families trick-or-treating in the Promontory area at about 8:15 p.m. The families belonged to three off-duty police officers. Hollingsworth said the incident started when one of the youths was asked by one of the officers to watch his language around his young children. “The boy allegedly then threw a firecracker at the off-duty police
officer, nearly missing his two young children who were sitting in a wagon,” she said. The off-duty officer identified himself as a police officer, and asked the boy and his friends to leave the area. “The boy then allegedly threw rocks at the members and their families,” Hollingsworth said, and when two of the officers tried to arrest the boy, a struggle ensued, and the third officer joined the fray. “During the struggle, one of the off-duty officers was kicked in the head by another boy who was in the group,” Hollingsworth said. The 18-year-old was taken into custody and held until his father arrived to pick him up. The investigation continues, and charges are anticipated. Shortly after 2:30 a.m. police were called to a home in the 45600block McIntosh Drive by a report of an armed robbery. A 26-year-old Abbotsford man, known to police, allegedly threatened and assaulted a 20-year-old man visiting his girlfriend. The suspect allegedly forced the victim to drive to First Avenue where he stole the victim’s cellphone and a large sum of cash.
That investigation also continues. Earlier in the evening, at about 7:15 p.m. police were called to a home in the 45900-block of Yale by a report of a domestic assault. A 52-year-old woman was arrested for allegedly assaulting her 54-year-old common-law husband. The man was not seriously injured. The woman was held in custody pending a court appearance. Police responded to 47 calls in Chilliwack during the night, compared to five in Agassiz, six in Hope and two in Boston Bar. Hollingsworth said
most of the Chilliwack calls for police were related to large groups of youths, firecracker use, and alcohol/drug use. “Several fireworks were seized from people without permits to possess them,” she said. Police were also called upon to handle several large groups of teens — between 20 and 30 kids — smashing pumpkins, drinking, and setting off fireworks/firecrackers “common Halloween activity,” Hollingsworth said. About 40 RCMP officers worked the Halloween shift in the Upper Fraser Valley.

Harrison Festival Society presents
Salmon virus not confirmed: DFO Robert Freeman The Progress The infectious salmon anemia virus (ISAV) has reportedly been found in a coho from Weaver Creek which flows into the Fraser River near Harrison Mills. According to a document obtained by opponents to commercial fish farms, the Weaver Creek coho tested positive for the virus, along with another from Rivers Inlet on B.C.’s central coast. However, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency document goes on to say the positive ISAV
detection is not confirmed and is “suspect� because of “chain of custody� issues. But if the virus from fish farmed salmon has entered wild stocks, it could play havoc with B.C.’s salmon industry. The virus reportedly caused $2 billion in damages to Chilean fish stocks. Further tests to confirm the virus are underway and results are expected in the next four or five weeks, a federal fisheries spokesperson said Wednesday. But fish-farm critics say they have lost confidence in the DFO, and fear the worst if the
virus is loose in wild stocks. “The name of the game is containment now,� said Ernie Crey, a local fisheries critic, because the virus can’t be destroyed and can mutate into other forms. Crey said it is “folly� to leave regular testing of farmed salmon to companies. “It’s a conflict of interest,� he said. “It should be done by the DFO or an independent lab.� Dr. Alexandra Morton, who found the Weaver Creek coho, agreed with Crey’s call for independent testing. “Salmon farms break the
natural laws, and viruses, bacteria and parasites are the beneficiaries of the behaviour,� she wrote in an internet blog. If viruses are allowed to flourish in fish farms, she said, “you get pestilence. There is no other outcome.� Meanwhile, Federal fisheries minister Keith Ashfield is calling for public calm until the tests are finalized. “Public debate and any forward action on this issue must be based on the best science,� he said. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Nicki Redekop wants to see more progress reports. “I will better serve the aboriginal student population by seeking to implement quarterly assessment reports based on performance evaluation to ensure goals are met,� she said. Neil Whitley agreed, stating that half yearly and year-end reports are too late to help atrisk students. “I would like to see ongoing monitoring in the classroom,� he said. “I would also like to see more professional development for teachers in the area of aboriginal education.� Some candidates want to implement more creative strategies. “To better serve aboriginal students we must first acknowledge that we do not live in a post-colonial world,� said Dan Coulter. “We cannot have policies that are designed to assimilate aboriginal students in the system.� Vern Tompke said one of the biggest challenges is resolving the disconnect between band life and school life. “I realize that we have tried to bridge this gap, but we need to be more creative,� he said. “Why not do various educational ventures actually outside the schools in their context?� Joey Hagerman said student input could improve student success. “What about talking to students?� he said. “We have some amazing aboriginal leaders as students who have been successful.�

More than lip service Men don’t like to think about their nether regions too much. Let alone talk about them. Movember is trying to change that. No, that’s not a spelling error. Movember started in 2003 as a bet between two buddies in Australia to see who could grow the best moustache. Some more friends and relatives joined in and started to turn the follicle challenge into an awareness and fundraising campaign for men’s health issues like prostate cancer. Last year, 447,808 registered participants raised $76.8 million worldwide; almost a third of that was raised by 119,000 Canadians. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer to affect Canadian men, afflicting one in seven. It will kill 4,100 men this year. But if caught early, it is 90 per cent curable. Unfortunately, there aren’t a lot of symptoms to alert its presence. That’s why prostate Cancer Canada recommends men over 40 talk to their doctor about a prostate examination, including a prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test. For many men, that’s a rather uncomfortable proposition. But 25 years ago breast cancer lurked similarly in the shadows. Since then, swaddled in pink ribbons and balloons, propelled by runs, walks, rides and paddles, awareness about breast cancer and fundraising to help find its cure has exploded into the public consciousness. And it’s had a real impact. Since 1999, the incidence of breast cancer in Canada has stabilized, and since 1986 the death rate from breast cancer has dropped 30 per cent. More women are benefitting from better screening and advances in treatment. As yet there are not many mass runs for prostate cancer, no ribbons of reminder to be worn on lapels, no purple power tools to show support. But there is Movember. And it’s as simple as neglecting to shave for 30 days. Or pledging support to someone who’s participating. ~ Black Press

Vander Zalm joins Hydro conspiracy club VICTORIA – The smart meter installation van arrived on my street last week, as BC Hydro’s smart grid project heads toward the halfway mark. This system will not only detect outages, electricity loss and theft, it enables a voluntary time-of-use system where users can get a discount by shifting consumption to low-peak times. You could even set up wind or solar generation that the meter would record and subtract from your bill. But apparently no one wants to talk about that. Black Press papers continue to run letters with exaggerated or false claims that stoke baseless fear of radio waves. Where is this coming from? I’m grateful to the anonymous smartmeter foe who started sending me updates from “Citizens for Safe Technology,” a loose collection of U.S. and Canadian activists that claims to include doctors, lawyers

and other professionals. Not much is professional about the Canadian content on their website. A video starts with a juvenile union parody showing executives plotting to sell BC Hydro to General Electric. Then it moves to an apparently serious interview with Bill Vander Zalm, who Tom expands on his FLETCHER earlier conspiracy theory about the harmonized sales tax being part of a European Union plot for world domination. Vander Zalm asserts that smart meters and appliances create such a powerful surveillance network, “they’ll even know what you’re cooking.” There are those who claim
smart meters can tell what channel your TV is on, but this is the first I’ve heard about them detecting whether you’re having eggs or oatmeal for breakfast. And who might “they” be? “The big picture is of course that we’re moving to globalization,” Vander Zalm intones. “Eventually we’ll be governed out of Brussels, Belgium or someplace like that. And this all ties into that. They can monitor what’s happening anywhere in the world. It’s Big Brother. We’ll be totally controlled.” He stops just short of what I’ll call the Full Tinfoil, a belief that these radio waves control minds directly. Wildlife artist Robert Bateman also makes an ass of himself in a brief video, where he describes hiring someone to come in and detect “hot” wiring in his Saltspring Island mansion. (A surprising number of self-appointed smart meter experts
sell measuring and “shielding” services.) A reader sent me a local newspaper commentary by NelsonCreston MLA Michelle Mungall, basically a vague summary of NDP talking points about smart meters being too expensive and a possible health threat. This is interesting, because the City of Nelson owns its own power utility, which started installing wireless meters in 2004. They finished last year, with no protest. I asked Mungall why. She was on the city council that chose a different model, a “drive-by” meter. They broadcast readings every 15 seconds and still need meter readers, who no longer have get out of their trucks. BC Hydro’s meters signal only three or four times a day, but one of the often-repeated false claims about them is that they secretly transmit much more often with

some sort of damaging energy pulses. And yet these granola-loving West Kootenay folks cheerfully endure a 24/7 bombardment of what are essentially brief cell phone signals. Mungall said Nelson council specifically rejected a smart grid system, “because of the cost.” Somehow retaining meter readers saves the city money. She noted that rural parts of her constituency are serviced by BC Hydro, and some people are very concerned. I’ll bet they are. Not just in West Kootenay, but a few other remote areas known for production of B.C.’s number one cash crop.

The march toward globalization With global markets interconnected, today’s rapidly growing economical uncertainty is helping prepare the world’s political landscape for major changes towards globalization. The affects of longstanding dictatorships being toppled in the Middle East, and European countries facing economic collapse, are felt globally. In such a climate of dire predictions there are those who have taken to the streets in protest of years of corporate greed and corruption, seemingly endorsed by politicians and paid for with hard earned tax-dollars.
Although these protesters obviously lack a form of leadership and clearly defined objectives, they all share a strong sense that things need to change. As global disasters are lurking on the horizon, and with our world getting smaller and smaller, it seems inevitable that eventually all countries on earth will somehow be impacted by what happens in other nations. We have already seen strange viruses easily spread through modern travel. And the fact that about 20 million tons of waste from the tsunami in Japan are floating towards BC’s coast shows that
we are not immune to the fallout of another nation’s calamity. With biblical prophecies of increased numbers and magnitude of earthquakes and famines already fulfilled, there is also the prediction of globalization and a one-world system. And while the UN is steadily gaining power and influence, such a prediction seems more probable every day. Perhaps, if we would study the Bible we might find more answers to the world’s future than any politician could give us. Mario C. Alleckna Chilliwack, BC
Teachers, kids deserve better I am a parent of two girls in the public school system and married to a teacher who has been working 22 years educating and motivating our youth. In response to some negative misinformed comments in letters to the editor I would like to point out a few misconceptions that some people have about teachers. Their workday does not start at 9 a.m. and end at 3 p.m. Most teachers are at school early, leaving well past the last bell and still take marking and projects home with them. Teachers spend their
own time preparing and writing report card three times per year. For the months of July and August teachers are on unpaid vacation. Their salary is based on the 10-month school year. I would estimate that our personal household budget has spent well over $200 per year for books and teaching supplies that are not reimbursed. Over 22 years that is a considerable sum of money. Our education system is not a babysitting service. Parents and teachers should be working together. Healthy, well-
11
nourished and rested children are the most successful learners. If a child is sick it is the parent’s responsibility to organize care for them at home. Teachers require a university degree plus a further year of education to work in B.C. As a group they are highly professional, motivated and tasked with educating our children who will shape our future. BC teachers’ salaries are among the lowest in Canada. For our government to start trying to increase class sizes and reduce in-class sup-
port for special needs children is unbelievably short sighted and stupid. Over crowded classrooms, portables which are substandard and integration of physically, mentally and behaviorally challenged students without adequate assistance, makes teaching even more difficult. I ask you to please support our teachers by contacting your MLA and expressing support for the teachers in your area. Our teachers and especially our children deserve better.

User fees could ease health care strain I’d like to thank the health care workers of Chilliwack for all the hard work they do for their clientele. Health care is very challenging and recently I had a large surgery. I was treated well, even if I was stuck in a four-bed room. Having worked and lived in the USA, I had to pay thousands of dollars for health care.
I know the hospital system is dealing with overcrowding issues. The only solution I see is user fees being implemented for non urgent cases, and for people who refuse to take care of themselves and then expect to be taken care of at the cost of a child awaiting health care. I also believe integrating federal and provincial health care
systems and powering the provincial providers we use is the answer to the health care crisis we all face. Just a few suggestions to keep our nurses and physicians and surgeons less overworked and health care for all.

Love for Lilee keeps parents strong Young family starts long journey into cancer treatment Jessica Peters Black Press Lilee-Jean Whittle-Putt has never really liked crawling. Ever since she’s been mobile, she’s been eager to get up on both her little feet and start walking. It’s an exciting milestone in any young life — a time to be learning balance, and seeing the world from a new perspective. And just two months shy of her first birthday, Lilee was doing just that. She was starting to move around the house more independently, right on track for her age. Her parents were learning more about balance, too. Andrew Putt, her father, was working with Pathways, an organization that works with adults with developmental delay, and still finding time to perform with his Chilliwack-based rock band, Pardon My Striptease. Lilee’s mom, Chelsey Whittle, was just re-entering the work force, getting ready for the end of her maternity leave. Their little family was coming into its own. But then, Lilee starting falling a bit more than usual, seeming a little off balance.

She started tilting her head to the left more and more. And at her most recent, regular check-up at the beginning of October, Lilee’s family doctor mentioned that her head looked a little big. He took a measurement — and her parents took note, too. Looking back, that measurement might have been the first sign that something very dire was happening to their baby girl. “We thought at first it was just a sore neck,” Putt says, tracing over the last two weeks of their lives. But in reality, a mass was growing that was becoming more and more uncomfortable for Lilee. Their “Little Bean” had an aggressive form of cancer, Glioblastoma, and they soon
learned that the next few months of their lives would be a day-today struggle. Putt and Whittle tell their story while sitting in the ICU waiting room at Children’s Hospital. They’re losing track of time, counting off the days and doctor visits and surgeries together. Putt had taken Lilee to a walk-in clinic in Chilliwack, and they were promptly sent to the pediatric centre at Chilliwack General Hospital. From there, it was decided she would need an ultrasound. But since there was no one at the hospital authorized to perform an ultrasound, they were sent home and asked to return in the morning.

That was a hard night, Putt recalls. “The pressure (of the mass) was getting so great,� he says, and Lilee had been poked and prodded all evening. “We were up every hour. She couldn’t sleep because of the pain.� As soon as the ultrasound was done the morning, they met with the pediatrician. “She told us in one breath,� Whittle says. “She told us there was a mass and it was very concerning and she would need surgery that day. “It was a punch in the gut.� From there, their lives have included MRIs and surgeries, meetings with oncology teams, long nights in

theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve also been told that Lilee could suffer long-term effects, and serious developmental delays. In short, she might always need fullterm care. And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s if she survives, Putt says, choking back tears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re taking one day at a time, and not getting overwhelmed with what the rest of our lives will be like,â&#x20AC;? Whittle says. The initial surgery to remove the tumor in her brain had to be stopped at the six-hour mark, due to heavy bleeding. They removed less than half of the tumor, and at press time, the hope was chemotherapy could deal with the rest of it. But there are â&#x20AC;&#x153;triumphs,â&#x20AC;? they say. On Sunday afternoon, Lilee was moved to a private room. That day, she also drank a whole bottle. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s those triumphs that keep Whittle going, as well as Lileeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strong spirit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And I keep telling myself: Where thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treatment, thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hope,â&#x20AC;? she says.

Heavy rainfalls have taken their toll on many garden annuals and perennials. They will make great compost, but removing them will leave your garden looking rather bare. Winter colour plants, set out now, will add new life and provide much needed colour to your winterscape. Strategically planting winter colour in groups with contrasting blocks of bright colours, like yellow with more pastel shades, creates the most pleasing effect. Brian Groupings of MINTER hardy ‘Red Bor’ and ‘Winter Bor’ kale, winter heather, violas, pansies and bright evergreen foliaged perennials, placed here and there in your garden and close to your walkways, will give a tremendous lift to your winter garden. It is still the ideal time to plant your fall bulbs. Plant them in well-drained soil at a depth of three times the diameter of the bulb. Plant bulbs in groupings for the most pleasing effect. With proper planning, you can time your bulbs to bloom in sequence from January through June. I’m a big fan of botanical or species bulbs that naturalize easily and come back each year with an even more impressive display. Make sure you have at least a few alliums for a great summer show in eight months time. It’s the last call for lifting and protecting summer bulbs. Gladiola corms and begonia tubers should have been lifted by now, and they must be kept warm at about 15°C. It is also the time to lift dahlia and canna tubers. Vegetable Gardens:
Many late vegetables can stay in the garden for winter harvesting. These include turnips, parsnips, Brussels

Make it your business
sprouts, Swiss chard and the new series of winter vegetables. If you do not have proper vegetable storage, you can place a thick mulch of bark over your root crops and leave them in the ground as long as possible. Fall is a great time to add existing compost to your garden, and there is still time to plant Garden Rejuvenation Mix for invaluable green manure in the spring. Speaking of compost, make sure you take full advantage of all the leaves, old annuals and vegetable stems by composting them over the winter. You might also wish to add more sand to your vegetable garden to improve the drainage next year. Applying lime is important now too, except of course
where you are going to grow potatoes. Lawns:
Cut your lawns quite low (1 inch) one more time to allow more air circulation in and around the root systems. This can prevent many disease problems. To prevent moss from taking over your lawn, maintain a high level of nutrients by applying a controlledrelease, high nitrogen fertilizer, something like Scott’s Turfbuilder Wintercare 30-0-9, and by applying prilled lime at the rate of 10 kilograms per 2000 square feet to prevent acidic soil. It is too late now to seed new lawns, but aerating and sanding now would sure make a huge difference. Trees and Shrubs:

plant most evergreens, fruit trees and shade trees. They are becoming dormant and, once planted, they will immediately form new roots. By spring, they will have well established root systems. Some points to remember: The quality of the soil in which you plant your new trees will determine how well your trees grow. Work in plenty of fine bark mulch to open up and provide good drainage in our heavy clay soils. If your trees are in burlap sacks, you should leave the sack on the rootball – it’s holding all those roots together! Bare root trees can be safely planted now. They will make new roots, getting them off to a great start come spring. If you use a liquid starter, your trees will get a faster start. Evergreen hedges, planted now, will provide a good windbreak for cold winter winds, thereby helping to keep your fuel bill down. Hedges will also give you privacy and at the same time, beautify your home. So all things considered, an evergreen hedge is an excellent investment. Many fall flowering trees and shrubs can be planted now to provide winter beauty. These include viburnum ‘Pink Dawn’, autumn flowering cherries, Chinese witch hazel, ornamental grasses, jasmine and the many varieties of berried plants to name just a few. It is critical that you begin organic dormant spraying with ‘Green Earth Lime Sulphur’ and ‘Dormant Oil’ in mid-November to control insects and diseases that overwinter in your trees. We are now entering a brand new season, and it is so nice to have our lawns and gardens in shape for the coolest and wettest time of the year. The addition of winter colour is a pure bonus – one you will appreciate more and more as winter progresses.
Small electrical appliances from toasters to electric toothbrushes can now be returned for recycling to depots across the region. And the service means buyers of new electrical goods are now paying an extra eco-fee to subsidize the costs of collection, transportation and recycling. A large microwave oven will now cost $10 more, while an extra $2.25 recycling
fee is now added to the price of new toasters and blenders. See unpluggedrecycling.ca for a full list of fees, accepted products and depot locations or call 1-800-667-4321. Organizers of the Unplugged program predict it will divert two million small appliances from landfills. It’s the latest in a growing set of takeback programs in B.C. where manufacturers and retailers are required by the prov-

ince to set up depots to collect and recycle old items, while consumers pay recycling fees to cover the costs. A dozen similar product stewardship programs cover items like electronics, tires and batteries. Another program to take back dead smoke alarms has also launched, funded by a $1.20 recycling fee on new alarms. See alarmrecycle.ca for details.

Sally Ann looking for seasonal sponsors Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack Salvation Army is looking for generous sponsors to come forward to help families in need this Christmas. Applications are now being taken for the 2011 Adopt-A-Family program, said Ian Pratt, coordinator of community ministries for Chilliwack Salvation Army. “We’re really blessed to live in Chilliwack,” he said. “Because the support just keeps coming.” Last year individuals and com-
panies sponsored 222 Chilliwack families through the Salvation Army program, and this year they hope to get 260 sponsors for local families in need. “The sponsors actually pack the hampers themselves,” he said. “Some generous souls sponsor two or three families each.” They get specific details about the family which in turn allows them to buy festive toys, some extras, and food for a complete Christmas dinner to make the family’s holiday a little brighter. Starting at about $160 for a family
with one child, and up to $285 for a family with four children, sponsorships can be done anonymously, and a tax receipt is available. Lists are available for suggested food hamper contents. “By supporting The Salvation Army Adopt a Family program you are truly showing your compassion and Christmas spirit,” said Pratt. Contact the Salvation Army at 604-792-5367 to sponsor a family for Christmas. The application form is also available at www.salvationarmychilliwack.ca. Deadline for applications is Dec. 2.

Some of the finest skiing in the world is at our doorstep in B.C. Here’s a quick tour of what some of the local hills have to offer: Fernie Alpine Resort strikes gold: For over a century, coal, a.k.a. black gold, has drawn fortune hunters to the mining town of Fernie in southeastern BC. Come winter, it’s gold of a different sort that lures skiers and boarders to this particular corner of the Canadian Rockies. Indeed, white gold, or powder snow, is cause enough for celebration, but this year, Fernie Alpine Resort commemorates its 50th anniversary, an occasion sure to spark a bonanza of its own.

Travel Revelstoke Mountain: Ready to ‘ROC’ SKI from p20 Five years after vaulting to public attention with the debut of the longest vertical descent of any North American snow sport resort, Revelstoke Mountain Resort, in the Kootenay Rockies region, has firmly established itself as a “must ski” destination, especially with the opening of the third phase of the on-mountain Nelsen Lodge. On-slope, it’s all about choice, for every level. So much so, that an essential first stop for visitors should be the resort’s ROC — Revelstoke Outdoors Centre — including the new Kids ROC, both a daytime and evening hub, complete with after-ski activities to keep pint-sized performers entertained while parents enjoy après in the new Wino: The Wine Bar. Take measure of your family’s skill and fitness level, then decide which outing is best tailored to individual abilities — after all, not everyone needs the same adrenalin rush as the rock stars of the snow sport world. That’s exactly the approach
the resort is taking this winter with the opening of the villagebased beginner’s area and tube park, where learning to get comfortable when sliding on snow is sure to become second nature. ROC on! www.revelstokemountainresort.com
Kicking Horse Mountain Resort: Champagne, anyone? If you get a kick from champagne, then a sampling of Kicking Horse Mountain Resort’s own brand of the white stuff is for you. And the local peaks? Make tracks in the Purcell Mountains that rise on one side of the Columbia Valley across from the Canadian Rockies, and you might just pull up stakes and head for Golden. Since Kicking Horse Mountain Resort opened 11 years ago, a lot more folks have done just that. And why not? Decades beforehand, the first contingent of Swiss mountain guides emigrated to Golden — many of their descendants still make their way
uphill to the Feuz Bowl, named in honour of a legendary family member. Fast forward to 2011, and snow sliders will find the new groomed entrance to the bowl provides safer and smoother access to groomed runs. (The grooming team will now have more options for laying down the corduroy on the adjacent Crystal Bowl, the second of a quartet of bowls that characterize the resort’s upper slopes.) But before you can hit the heights, you may need to take it down a notch. Here’s a hint: to hone the skills needed to handle big mountain conditions, look no further than the resort’s new beginner’s area on the main plaza. Need more incentive to visit? Getting to Golden and Kicking Horse Mountain Resort just got a whole lot easier, thanks to the introduction of twicedaily bus service from Calgary International Airport, the nearest major gateway to southeastern BC. After all, with so much champagne on offer, best leave the driving to someone else. www. kickinghorseresort.com

Mike Visscher: Hands-on kinda guy
Nov. 6 at 11am 46875 Yale Rd., Chilliwack Everyone welcome!
In 1961, after several years in the logging industry, four Visscher brothers got together and founded a retail lumber yard in Chilliwack. By the late 1970s, the operation had evolved into a remanufacturing facility and today, the Visscher Family of Companies not only operates two wood processing plants, they also have a metal and Ana forming facMACEDO tory and warehouses. Mike Visscher was born into this reality and the drive, determination and commitment to quality that has made this second generation company so successful, has had a positive influence on this young man’s life. Mike has essentially lived in Chilliwack his entire life and the Visscher family is firmly entrenched in the fabric of this community. At 23, he’s the eldest of four children and admits that he was raised in a strict household but credits his mother and father with keeping him on the straight and narrow. They also taught their son

NEW YORK’S
The Metropolitan Opera comes to Chilliwack
the meaning of hard work. “I had to work for what I got. By the time that I was ten, I was helping my grandfather on the farm,” he said. By the age of 13, Mike was working on the green chain and he quickly figured out that he didn’t want to do that for the rest of his life. For the first four years of grade school, Mike attended Timothy Christian School but was homeschooled from grades five through nine. “I went back to Timothy Christian for Grade 10, but went to Career Technical Centre for grades 11 through 12 and the first year of my apprenticeship,” he explained. He admits that he isn’t one bit scholastically inclined. Rather, he’s very much a hands-on kind of guy. “I never wanted to be involved in the forest industry; it’s too volatile. For Grade 10 work experience, I tried out a career as an electrician. I enjoyed it but wasn’t sure. My dad encouraged me to pursue it and told me that it’d be something that I’d have under my belt. I could always change my mind at a later time,” he said. So, it was resolved. Mike Visscher would become an electrician and he began his apprenticeship with Norich
Electric. “I’ve been with them for five years now and I love the work. I really enjoy the variety and I’m always learning something new.” While he enjoys his work as an electrician, he also still enjoys working on the farm. “My great-grandpa, Pete Visscher, was a cattle herder here in Chilliwack. My granddad went into lumber but he still had a farm. Then he got diabetes and had to have both of his legs amputated and the worse he got, the more I had to take over,” he said. Mike began taking care of the farm and working as an electrician, something that he continues to do until this day. “At one point we had 30 head of Black Angus cattle. I still have four cows on the farm for my own use but I auctioned off the rest of the herd.” Although Mike was homeschooled from grades five through nine, this was briefly interrupted in Grade 6 when he did half a year at MEI (Mennonite Educational Institute). It was here that he met a beautiful girl named Brittany that would one day become his wife. “I always thought that she was way out of my league,” he laughed. It wasn’t until many years later
that they would reunite and subsequently marry. “We have a 16-month-old daughter named Shayla and we have another child on the way. I’m not an overly emotional kind of guy but they do get to you. That child breaks my heart,” he said, smiling. Mike has a can-do attitude and has an immense work ethic. “I’m certainly a cup-ishalf-full kind of guy. I can’t handle negativity. There’s no use crying about things; let’s just get it done,” he said, rather emphatically. He recalled one instance, while he was working at the mill, when a piece of lumber hit him in the face and two of his teeth went right through the skin. “I went to the bathroom and stuffed some paper towel in my mouth to stop the bleeding and went right back to work. You just do what you have to do. For every 10 minutes of work stoppage, thousands of dollars are lost, so you gotta keep going. I work hard and I’m happy with my life. I couldn’t ask for a better life. I could always use more money,” he suggested. I quickly added that the more you have, the more you spend. “Exactly,” he laughed, as he headed back to work.

This critically acclaimed work re-examines the fascinating tale of Scheherazade: In the wake of discovering his queen’s infidelity cruel King Shahryar has soured on all womankind.

The Arabian Nights, which will be directed by University of the Fraser Valley Theatre department member Heather Robertson, features a talented cast of UFV Theatre students with each performer playing a variety of roles. The leading roles of Scheherazade and

former UFV Theatre student Jay Havens, who now works as a professional designer in the Vancouver theatre community. Lighting design is by Sandy Tait and stage manager is Gabriel Kirkley. Live musical accompaniment for this production will be provided by Leanne Atley on violin and percussion and Bryce Bennett on keyboard and percussion.

Chilliwack secondary grad Karen Rissling was a self-described social butterfly in high school. Now 41, and a school teacher in El Paso, Texas, Rissling tackles the realities of online dating in her new book, Cyberwink. It bears the subtitle, ‘One woman’s inside scoop on maneuvring the Web’s “meet” market.’ She chronicles some of her reallife stories on the quest for “the one,” all presented with a good dose of humour, describing dates that were everything from “exhilarating” to “terrible.” Readers will meet Gustavo, the Romantic Two-Timer, or Dan, the International Man of Mystery. Who could forget the guy who brought his baby on the first date, to name a few. Rissling tackles some presumptions, and offers tips now that she has gained an “online romance” education. “In our society, if a woman has never been married by the time she reaches her thirties, people start to sit up and take notice,” she writes. There’s only so many times one

hear the well-intentioned, “I can’t believe you have never been married. You are so great! “So now I have resigned myself to online dating. I have been doing it for over 10 years and I have gone on more dates that I can count, even while taking extended breaks.” The author’s folks will be out at Minter Country Garden Store at this weekend’s Gift and Crafts sale with a box of freshly printed copies of Cyberwink. It’s also for sale online at Amazon.com for $12.99 + shipping, which is about $6.50, or by emailing ajrissling@telus.net.

Atonement rocks the contemporary dance world With shows from Bangkok to New York, Atonement, is at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre for a Nov. 11 performance. As the headlining work for MOVE: the company’s per formance, Atonement will rock the contemporary ballet world with 29 award-winning and highly-acclaimed dancers. Artistic Director and company founder, Josh Beamish, originally developed Atonement from the School of American Ballet at the New York Choreographic Institute, both affiliates of New York City Ballet, and premiered the heightened presentation on October 10 in Bangkok, Thailand at the Thai Cultural Centre’s 2,000-seat Opera House. The program served as a cornerstone of a yearlong celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Canadian-Thai political relations. This 29-dancer program will also include two more Beamish works, a re-imagined 18-dancer version of his widely praised 2008 commission for Ballet Kelowna, The Red Nocturnal, a passionately virtuosic and physically demanding on pointe tango ballet. The final work on the program will be Les Oiseaux. Originally created for the University of Missouri in 2010, this work for 23 dancers, presents a classical ballet collage where the avian ballet icons converge in a common forest. Tickets 604.391.

Scene&Heard Celebrating the songs that won the war overseas “The music of that period is a real melting pot with lots of trips down memory lane” said Kopstein, Although jazz made inroads in the 20s and 30s, most of Canada’s rural population found their entertainment at dances and later on the radio. Many of the Songs That Won the War reflect that time when people gathered to join in with big-hearted sing-along’s such as Vera Lynn’s We’ll Meet Again, that could be performed around the piano in their living rooms. Alongside and often blended were the small dance groups so popular in dance halls and on the radio, featuring the enormously popular songs like the
Beer Barrel Polka. War cannot be celebrated only the memory of those who served and songs that help us remember their sacrifice. Join Dog Mountain Dixie in the living room atmosphere of the Chilliwack Public Library as Jack Kopstein reminisces with music and the prose of Rudyard
Kipling. Admission is free but seating is limited so plan to arrive early. For more information, call Chilliwack Public Library 604 792 1941.

“Songs That Won the War” will showcase the best-loved songs from both World Wars at the Chilliwack Library on Nov. 9 from 2- 3 pm Music very often helped to strengthen the morale of the troops but in many ways the songs provided a pause for optimism for the people on the home front “This program by the Dog Mountain Dixie band will appeal to people who may have been very young during the Second World War years or those whom recall music from World War One,” says spokesman Jack Kopstein. Bless ‘Em All – the theme of the show, for instance – became famous as a song to commemorate service people who were

families, churches, school boards, city councils, (remember, we are approaching civic elections) need to include facts in our planning. But where are those facts? Why not ask youth, themselves? This is exactly what the McCreary Centre Society (based in Surrey) has done, every five years in B.C. The Adolescent Health Survey, last conducted in 2008 (next in 2013) surveyed almost 30,000 BC youth (that’s a lot!) . This fall, my colleagues Eryn Wicker and Marie Amos will be reporting findings that should make us think about where we are going with youth. I think
you’ll see that there are some very positive trends especially in risky behaviour (no, they aren’t going to hell in a hand-basket), but still areas of deep trouble. The concerns aren’t all drugs, sex or rock and roll. It’s about leisure time. Only one in four males and one in 10 females reported exercising every day for 20 minutes. Health Canada recommends 90 minutes of physical activity a day. Regular exercise positively affects mental health, intellectual development and general overall health outcomes. Hospital costs of the future are linked to the exercise of kids today. What is the future for
these young people? Will they suddenly have an epiphany and change their lifestyle when they become adults. Not likely. If we don’t guide them into this (oh no, or become role models for them) who will? This is really a silent crisis. To the good, almost 80 per cent of boys are involved in some sport, two out of three in organized sport however, 40 per cent report gambling in the past year. 17 per cent bought lottery tickets in the last year. Roughly 30 per cent report watching more than three hours of TV on school days. Another alarming fact; only 30 per cent
of girls and 22 per cent of boys report volunteering. How can we build a strong civic society without that sense of contribution that comes from doing something for others? This links with findings from the Chilliwack Quality of Life Survey that has raised similar concerns. Civic electors, look for the school board trustee candidates wearing track suits and the city council hopefuls with a record of volunteering! Parents, get off the couch and exercise!

But who really bases their life on fact! If we did we’d all be vegans sleeping eight hours a night and running marathons at 80.

Chiefs hope to bury banged-up Spruce Kings
The Chilliwack Chiefs and Prince George Cougars face off tomorrow night in a key earlyseason matchup that could have late season playoff implications. After a torrid start, the Chiefs have settled into a .500ish sort of vibe that leaves them in the middle of the Interior conference pack. With four teams allowed into the playoffs, and two spots seemingly gift-wrapped for the vaunted Vernon Vipers and Penticton Vees, the Chiefs will eventually find themselves racing against the Spruce Kings for a postseason berth. And as the saying goes, two points in November is just as good as two in February. The Spruce Kings limp into town missing several regulars. The long list includes 20-year-old for ward Jeff Earnest, who’s still recovering from a broken jaw and has only played in two games this season. He suffered the injury in practice just over a month ago and, optimistically, will be in game shape by the end of this month. Defenceman Jared Crossan still hasn’t started his rookie BCHL campaign, and is listed as a month away from a full recovery on his knee. For ward Sean Landry dislocated his knee a couple of weeks ago and is at least six weeks away from a full recovery. Trying to get his shoulder back to
full strength, forward Cody Bardock is still three to six weeks away from returning to game action. Then there’s the case of 19-year-old Chilliwack product Connor Tiechko, who left the Spruce Kings for personal reasons after suiting up for six games this season. “It’s very difficult when you’re losing that many bodies. But again, we still have to play the games,” said Spruce Kings head coach Dave Dupas. “They’re not going to cancel the games because we have a bunch of injuries and guys missing. We have to go and we have to figure out a different game plan and try to get some points here on the weekend.” Making matters worse, in a good way, forward Jujhar Khaira made the final cut for Canada West and will skate in the World Junior A Challenge. The Surrey native had 11 goals and 27 points in 13 games before departing for the Canada West selection camp. “We’re happy for him and we’re glad that we as a team and an organization are able to put guys into that tournament,” Dupas said. “I think down the road it helps us. Kids know that if they come here, they’re still going to get noticed.” Forward Paul De Jersey did not make the final cut and returns to the lineup in time to face Chilliwack. The 19-year-old West Vancouver native has 14 goals and 28 points in 13 games to lead PG and sit third in league scoring. To fill other holes, the Spruce Kings have brought in affiliated players. On Saturday night, the Chore twins (Patrick and Eric) came up from

Kelowna for their first BCHL game. Both for wards, the Chores skate for the North Okanagan Knights in the Kootenay International Junior B Hockey League. “It was difficult for them to come in because they flew in on Saturday afternoon and then just jumped in the lineup, so they didn’t know our breakouts or D zone coverage,” Dupas said. “They didn’t know any of that stuff. But they played hard, they finished their checks. They were at training
camp so we knew that they were hard-working guys.” The Chiefs are coming off a successful weekend that included wins over the Trail Smoke Eaters (4-3 Friday) and Salmon Arm Silverbacks (3-1) Saturday. They played a Wednesday night home game against the Surrey Eagles that occurred after Chilliwack Progress press deadlines. To find out how that game went, go online to www. theprogress.com.
BCHL dominates Canada West The final roster that Canada West takes into next week’s World Junior A Challenge includes 14 BCHL skaters. The roster was announced Tuesday evening. Powell River netminder Sean Maguire got the nod along with Tyler Briggs of the AJHL’s Lloydminster Bobcats. Four of the seven defencemen hail from the BCHL, including Luke Juha and Brett Corkey of the Vernon Vipers. Troy Stecher of the Penticton Vees is joined by Reece Wilcox of
the Merritt Centennials. The BCHL presence is truly pronounced up front where nine of the 13 forwards play in the Coastal circuit. Penticton’s Travis St. Denis and Curtis Lolk are joined by Surrey’s Brandon Morley and Michael Stenerson. The Vipers send Aaron Hadley and the Spruce Kings send Jujhar Khaira. Evan Richardson (Powell River), Wesley Myron (Victoria) and Alex Kerfoot (Coquitlam) also made the grade.

Russians invade UFV hoops teams nationally ranked Canada versus the USSR, or now Russia, has been must-see hockey, writes Jacob Bestebroer An interesting pair of games will be played this weekend at Prospera Centre. Friday nightt the Chiefs host the Prince George Spruce Kings. It’s still early in the season but this game is an important one as the Spruce Kings are one of the teams that the Chiefs will be battling with all season for a playoff spot. Saturday night, it’s Canada West versus Russia in a pre-World Junior A Challenge game. The World Junior A Challenge, which takes The place in Langley beginning Monday will feature teams from five countries including Russia, Sweden, the United States, the Czech Republic and Canada (with two teams). Since the epic eight game Summit Series between Canada and the USSR in 1972, Canadaa versus either the USSR, or now Russia, has versus been must see hockey. Chilliwack has hosted a number of international games over the years, with the biggestt one also involving Canada and the USSR. In early 1990, with the Richmond Sockeyes struggling to attract fans, owner Al Brew took a financial gamble to test the Chilliwack market. The Canadian National Hockey team was touring, and looking for places to play a series of exhibition games versus Russia. Brew put up $30,000 of non-refundable money to bring one of the games to the Chilliwack Coliseum. The game was played before the largest crowd everr to watch a hockey game at the Coliseum. While Brew had already committed to move the Sockeyes to Chilliwack prior to this game, the fan response to this game proved he had made a savvy choice. In December 2005, the Czech Republic’s World Junior Team used Chilliwack as their base city in preparation for the World Juniorr Tournament in Vancouver. In a pre-tournaTournament ment game in Chilliwack, the Czechs defeated Switzerland 2-1 in front of more than 4,000 people at Prospera Centre. Tickets for Saturday’s game are just $15 and are available at Prospera Centre, the Chiefs office or online at kbrticketing.com. Switching gears a little, fans of both the Chiefs and twitter will be pleased to know thatt several members of the Chiefs staff, including general manager/head coach Harvey Smyl, have recently opened twitter accounts. Harvey is having a lot of fun with it and byy following him you will get some insights that I don’t think any other coach in the league provides for fans. vides I urge you to check it out. You can find him at @HarveySmyl. Some other staff members that you can follow include Chiefs president Glen Ringdal @ gringdal, marketing director Barry Douglas @ BarryDouglas1, assistant coach Doug Ast @ DougAst18, office manager Andrea Laycock @ Andrea Laycock, and myself at @JBChiefs.

As the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades men’s and women’s basketball teams start the 201112 CIS campaign this
weekend, they do so with national rankings. The men’s team is seventh in Canada and the women’s team is ninth. “It’s always exciting when your program does something that hasn’t been done in the past or recognized for in the past,” said women’s head coach Al Tuchscherer. “However, the reality is, this team hasn’t achieved any-
thing yet this season, and this only confirms that we are in a very different place than last year with regards to perception. “We aren’t going to sneak up on anyone or surprise teams this season. It is essential that we maintain our grit and hunger if we hope to be successful this year and build on what we have been trying to build for the past few years.”
Men’s head coach Barnaby Craddock echoed the comments that his team still has a lot to prove. “It’s nice to be recognized and it is probably credit to the depth of strong teams in the Canada West Conference,” said Craddock. The women’s team has plenty of Chilliwack content, with ex-Chilliwack secondary school
stars Alexa McCarthy, Nicole Wierks, Sarah Wierks and Courtenay Bartel playing key roles. Both teams will be at Thompson Rivers University for games on Friday and Saturday. Their first Canada West home games will be Nov. 11 when they host Manitoba. For schedules and info, see www.ufv.ca/ athletics.
Cascade soccer squads eliminated The University of Alberta Golden Bears beat the UFV Cascades 4-3 in men’s soccer action in Edmonton on Friday. On Saturday, the University of Saskatchewan Huskies
beat them 2-1, in Saskatoon. So, the Cascades end the 2011 Canada West regular season with a 1-11-2 record forPresents seventh in the conference. UFV’s lone goal Saturday was scored
by Kobe Byrne of Abbotsford. Friday the Cascades played a great first half, scoring three goals in one half for the first time this season, and leading by two. In the second half,
Alberta shut the door on UFV’s offence as they scored three unanswered goals to stay in the hunt for the Canada West title. The Cascades goals were scored by Jordan Tipton and Trent Mayer

of Abbotsford, and Sasa Plavsic of Coquitlam. In women’s soccer, the UVic Vikes defeated UFV 2-1, ending the season for Abbotsford. UFV’s Canada West regular season record is 3-8-3 for 12 points and seventh place overall in the conference. Veteran captain Megan Webster, of Abbotsford, scored her team-leading fifth goal of the campaign in her final CIS match. “It’s been a frustrating season; however, if we can learn from our Presents this season experiences we will be better for it in the future,” said head coach Rob Giesbrecht.

L I Q U O R
● The junior bantam Red Giants dropped a 24-9 road decision to the Abbotsford Falcons. Abby opened the scoring midway through the first quarter, stringing together a six play 55 yard touchdown drive. The big play was a 25 yard pass completion. The scoring play was a goal-line reverse that gained the one yard the Falcons required. Chilliwack’s offence answered back with a long drive of their own, keyed by a bruising offensive line. Elijah Schellenberg led the big boys up front, with Jacob Butler, Devan Voss, Erik Vander Werff, Nathaniel Oenema and Emerson Harvey joining in on an 11 play sequence. Running backs Aydan Harvey and Billy Hanson benefited from the blocking, chewing up 46 yards on the ground. Quarterback Jordan Breuker capped the drive with a nine yard TD scamper, then kicked the convert to tie the game at 8-8. The Falcons bounced back
with an 86 yard TD drive and rolled from there. The only other point the Red Giants managed came on a missed field goal by Brueker, with the ball sailing wide from 24 yards out. Cameron Betker, Ben Pretty, Broden Laynes, Emerson Har vey, Miguel Wood and Breuker all had good days defensively. The Red Giants wrap up the regular season Saturday, visiting North Langley. They have already clinched a playoff spot. ● The peewee Red Giants fell 44-0 to the Abbotsford Falcons, who remained unbeaten at 8-0. Colin Campbell, Justin Crooks, Hudson Harvey, Liam Dallas and Nicholas Butler were bright spots on defence. Offensively, quarterback Brandt Davies hooked up with Crooks on a long highlight-reel completion into double coverage. ● The atom Red Giants fell 41-6 to Abbotsford in a game that was much closer than the final score would indicate. Trailing 16-6 late in the first half, the Red Giants drove to the Abby one yard line, but came away with nothing. Turnovers killed Chilliwack in the second half as Abby used a short field to build up a big lead. Exceptional performances came from Brendan Trotzuk, Jackson Saunders, Mason Murphy and Thomas Nelson.

“Stoney” After a long life full of memories and hard work, Gordon slipped away peacefully in his sleep on October 22, 2011. Gordon Johnston was born in Weyburn, Saskatchewan on March 6, 1926. After over 20 years in the Royal Canadian Engineers and postings that took him to Soest, Germany two times he settled in Chilliwack in 1968. In Chilliwack, he was the owner of Stoney’s Heating & Plumbing for 20 years. He enjoyed life, especially getting involved and supporting the activities of his children, grandchildren and other young friends he considered to be family. He was so proud of their every achievement both big and little. He is survived by children: Gordon (Cristina) Johnston, Laurie (Andrew ‘Jack’) Hirschman. Grandchildren: Shannon (Stefan) Plouffe, Phillip (Natalie) Hirschman, Jennifer Hirschman, Cristian Johnston. Great-grandchildren: Jacob and Noah Plouffe. Sisters: Shirley and Etheline ‘Tiny’ (Gordon ‘Bernie’). Inlaws: Annie ‘Ann’, Ernie, Stella and Audrey, as well as numerous nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his parents, 4 brothers and 1 sister. The family wish to extend their gratitude and thankfulness to the following special people for their care of our Dad, Grandpa and brother during the last several years: Staff at the Cheam Unit at Heritage Village, Doctor Ken Harder, Chilliwack General Hospital Emergency Staff and Chilliwack Hospice Volunteers. A time of remembrance will be held at the Hirschman home, 48185 Ryder Lake Road at 1:00 pm on Saturday, November 12, 2011. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to The Life Enrichment Fund for the Cheam Unit at Heritage Village or Chilliwack Hospice for training of Hospice Volunteers.
They have two daughters, Karen Neuls and Barbara (Mark) Jiew. Also predeceased is her son, Hans Peter Kurth. Survived by her children, Pamela, Adam, Daniel and Monica Kurth. She also has two great-grandchildren, Isabelle & Sarah Kurth. Hildegard was a courageous woman when she fled war-torn Danzig with two very young children in 1945. As refugees, Hildegard and Werner, with family, started a new life in Canada after having lost everything during the war period. Son, Hans Peter, was born in Canada. Hildegard was a driven, courageous woman and together with Werner, finally bought a dairy farm on Tolmie Road in Sumas Prairie, now Abbotsford. During her retirement years she lived mainly in Yarrow and Chilliwack. She will be remembered as being ambitious, caring, giving and always loving her family. She was baptized in her teens – she had a strong faith in God! A service will be held in the Yarrow United Mennonite Church, 4336 Eckert Road on Friday, November 4, 2011 at 2:00 p.m.
