Whooping cough alert spreads to Chilliwack

Winter storm packs $550,000 bite Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Community spirit and the arrival of milder weather helped avert any serious flooding in Chilliwack over the weekend, said city officials. Storm costs are pegged at $550,000 so far, but the figure could go up or down in the final analysis. Many Chilliwack residents headed out into the streets over the weekend armed with shovels to help clear snow and ice that would have blocked catch basins leading to storm drains around their properties, and those of their neighbours’.

“We are so thankful to all those in our city who helped out with efforts to clean up after the wild weather we received,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “That demonstrated community spirit of looking after one another, is just one of the many reasons I’m proud to call Chilliwack home.” By Monday morning, drainage stations were “nowhere near capacity,” ditch water levels were low and free flowing into the Vedder River, which is also low, according to the latest from staff. City crews will continue to watch local culverts and remove blockages as needed. “All the drainage stations and

drainage pumps have been serviced and checked twice daily over the past week and this will continue this week until most of the snow has melted,” said Gaetz. Three municipal facilities suffered some water damage over the weekend after frozen gutters were inundated with rainwater, including the Chilliwack library, Chilliwack Museum and the Cheam Leisure Centre. A rear section of the museum suffered some drywall damage but the other two facilities saw only minor damage, which was not structural, but cosmetic in nature. None of the facilities had to be closed due to the water

damage. A roofer was on-site at the Cheam Centre Monday, making modifications to the gutter system, after rainwater pooled on the roof and then leaked into a hallway near the change rooms. The active use of social media by City of Chilliwack proved to be highly effective at getting out storm information to residents quickly in the last 10 days of winter weather activity. Facebook and Twitter were abuzz with Chilliwack road closure and up-to-the minute extreme weather information, said Starlee Renton, the city’s emergency information officer. Continued: STORM/ p4

A whooping cough alert in the eastern Fraser Valley has been issued by the Fraser Health Authority. Since August, there have been more than 80 cases of whooping cough (also called pertussis) reported in the Hope region, health officials said, and recently cases have been seen in the AgassizHarrison area as well. A vaccination clinic started in Chilliwack on Jan. 23, and clinics that have already started in Hope have been expanded to Agassiz and Harrison Hot Springs. “The best protection against pertussis is to get vaccinated,” Dr. Paul Van Buynder, Fraser Health’s medical health officer, said in a news release. “Pertussis in very young children can lead to hospitalization and even death,” he said. Parents are urged to make sure their children are fully immunized, and to get free booster shots for adults in regular contact with children. “The vaccine that people get as children only offers protection for 4-10 years, so there are many people without adequate coverage,” health officials said. Adults who have not had a booster shot in the last five years are asked to call their local health unit, or their doctor to get the free vaccine. The phone number of the Chilliwack health unit is 604-702-4900. The Agassiz health unit number is 604793-7160. The Hope health unit number is 604860-7630. Whooping cough is a very contagious disease that spreads easily through the air. Symptoms are similar to those of a cold — sneezing, runny nose, low fever, mild cough — but over the next week or two the coughing gets worse, leading to longer spells that often end with a whoop or crowing sound when the infected person breathes in.

Dialysis ‘not an optional service,’ says Mayor Robert Freeman The Progress

There are also other treatment and transportation options open to the 24 dialysis patients currently living in the area from Chilliwack to Agassiz and Hope. “Because of the specialized nature of the equipment and the staff required, there needs to be a certain number (of patients) to be feasible,” he explained. And Chilliwack isn’t the only community in the health region without a dialysis unit, he pointed out. Burnaby is another, although patients there don’t have to travel

as far to dialysis units located in Surrey and New Westminster hospitals for treatment, he said. Patients in the eastern Fraser Valley also have the option of taking a taxi to Abbotsford, or arranging a ride with the SN hospital transfer van, a service similar to handyDART. Normally, patients must pay for these services, Thorpe-Dorward said, but the FHA will pay for patients having “a particularly difficult time” getting to dialysis appointments. There is also a specially-trained

nurse at the clinic who can help patients manage their conditions at home for a few days, until they are able to get to another dialysis session. But Mayor Gaetz said dialysis isn’t just for patients with kidney disease, but also for diabetics whose kidneys and livers are beginning to fail. And Chilliwack isn’t isolated from the growth of that disease, she said, which is reaching epidemic proportions in North America. Gaetz agreed that the capital costs of a dialysis clinic could be

Treacherous driving conditions in last week’s snowstorm have highlighted the plight of dialysis patients in Chilliwack and the eastern Fraser Valley. “Too many people risk life and limb travelling out of town to receive treatment that is so needed to keep them alive,” says Chilliwack resident Elaina Wugalter. She has started a Facebook page to raise awareness of the issue, and to start a drive to get a dialysis clinic here in Chilliwack for patients with chronic kidney disease. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz is asking Fraser Health Authority officials for a meeting this week to discuss the issue “and how we can better serve the people who need this service to stay alive.” “It’s not an optional service,” she said. “They need it to stay alive.” Yet while provincial officials were warning people last week to stay off the roads, Wugalter said her husband Morris - and other patients in Hope, Agassiz and Harrison Hot Springs - had to risk snowblown highways to get to the Abbotsford Regional Hospital for dialysis treatments. “It (kidney disease) may not happen to your family - please God it doesn’t - but it should concern everybody,” she said. “If these people don’t have this treatment they die.” FHA spokesman Roy ThorpeDorward said health officials “certainly understand” the concerns of dialysis patients, but their numbers in the eastern Fraser Valley don’t justify opening a clinic in Elaina Wugalter wants a dialysis unit here in Chilliwack. Local patients, like her husband Morris, currently have to travel to Abbotsford for treatments several times a week. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS Chilliwack.

raised through the taxes collected by the Fraser Valley Regional Hospital District, but operational costs would need to come from the B.C. government. Former city councillor Diane Janzen, who chaired the mayor’s advisory committee on health, said she couldn’t recall the issue of a dialysis clinic coming up at committee meetings. But, now, speaking as a private citizen, Janzen said maybe the time has come. “I think it’s something to take a look at, because it affects an amazing number of people,” she said, and it’s part of the larger issue of local access to health services. Reduction of health services in Chilliwack was a major concern here when the new hospital and cancer centre was being built in Abbotsford under the regionalization plan. Taxpayers in Chilliwack and other Fraser Valley communities contributed $72 million toward construction of that hospital through taxes collected by the FVRHD. Gwen O’Mahony, an NDP activist who is running for the party’s nomination in the Chilliwack-Hope by-election, said she’s been told by a provincial health official that the problem is not the lack of dialysis equipment, but the nurses trained to operate them. Yet O’Mahony, who works in a health-related field, said she has never heard of any recruitment drive by the BC government to train dialysis nurses. “This is a serious issue,” she said. “Why isn’t there a recruitment drive before we get to this point?” Continued: DIALYSIS/ p10

$40M, reorganization for CLBC Frozen pipes lead to fire Black Press The B.C. government is adding $40 million to support Community Living B.C. and pledging a reorganization to make the Crown corporation more responsive to its 13,000 developmentally disabled adult clients. After reports of a long waiting list for service, and clients being moved from group homes to home-sharing contracts against their wishes, Premier Christy Clark appointed Surrey MLA Stephanie Cadieux as social development minister last September. Cadieux ordered an internal audit and performance review of CLBC and traveled the province to meet with clients and families. “The message that really came through was that their trust in CLBC had been shaken,” Cadieux told a news conference where

the audit and other reports were released Thursday. A key problem for CLBC was the push to control costs by moving clients from group homes to home-share contracts with individual caregivers. Last fall, Cadieux ordered a halt to management bonuses for making these moves, and the audit released Thursday found another problem. It found 11 CLBC employees and managers who took on home care contracts on the side, and two other employees with second jobs working for CLBC contracted agencies. Employees with this conflict of interest are supposed to be removed from awarding contracts in the region, but the audit found this was inadequately tracked and enforced. Examining the waiting list of 2,800 people seeking services, the audit found that CLBC’s “request for services list” overstated the

demand. Families were unsure of what services they needed and were asking for access to several programs, sometimes for services not needed until future years. Cadieux said families have been forced to work with several ministries as well as CLBC to get different services. She pledged to proceed with a recommended “one government” policy for clients, leading to a better transition when disabled children turn 18 and become clients of CLBC. NDP leader Adrian Dix said the audit and a separate report by deputy ministers represent “an utter condemnation of what the government has done with CLBC.” He noted that the reviews found the waiting list was overstated, but the government still can’t say how many people are waiting. Dix said the extra money is a step in the right direction.

Chilliwack firefighters had to break into an apartment to put out a stove-top fire that broke out shortly after they battled a house fire Thursday. And the cause of the house fire was the homeowner using a heat gun to thaw out some frozen water pipes. “Fortunately, the homeowner was monitoring the situation closely when he heard crackling, followed by smoke coming from between the floors,” Assistant Fire Chief Jeff Ullyot said. While fire crews were mopping up after the 6:45 p.m. house fire in the 42000-block Yale Road, fire alarms went off in an apartment complex just down the street in the 45000-block at 7:20 p.m. No injuries were reported at either fire. Apartment residents were briefly evacuated. Upon arrival at the house fire,

firefighters located a small fire that had ignited in the space between the basement and first floor of the home. The downstairs ceiling had to be opened up by firefighters to get at the flames, and to contain them before they spread to the upstairs kitchen. Damage was limited to some kitchen cupboards, some floor joists and to the basement ceiling. Apartment residents reported smoke coming from the fourth floor suite, and fire officials said it was evident upon arrival that a pot left on the stove was the cause of the smoke. “Crews used forcible entry tools to gain access and extinguish the stove-top fire,” Ullyot said. Damage was limited to light smoke damage in one bedroom suite.

communication created. “It’s faster than breaking news,” she said. With the milder air moving in, officials are waiting for it to melt the snow on the side streets, which were the lowest priority for clearing. The hillsides were the focus on Monday, as crews continued to salt frozen and icy roads. Plowing has actually stopped completely on the valley floor as most residential streets are mostly covered in compact snow and ice.

Chilliwack Mall reno nears completion Jennifer Feinberg The Progress New life is being breathed into Chilliwack Mall. Several new tenants, including the latest, Carter’s/ OshKosh, will be part of the grand re-opening excitement this spring, said officials. The $11-million renovation and upgrade of the 30-year-old shopping centre is nearing completion. The mall redevelopment undertaken by owners Retrocom Mid-Market Real Estate Investment Trust saw both interior and exterior improvements made over the winter to make way for the new mall tenants. The new stores include: a 26,000-sq.ft. Winners, a 24,000-sq.ft. SportChek, 5,500-sq.ft. Reitmans and the newly announced addition of a 5,000-sq.ft. Carter’s/ OshKosh. “It’s fantastic,” said Ross Stathers, director of leasing and development for SmartCentres. “We’re right on track and about three-quarters through the $11 million revitalization of the shopping centre.” Construction will be completed around the end of February, and heavy-hitters Winners, SportChek and Reitmans are expected to be open the end of March, followed this spring by Carter’s/OshKosh. When former mall anchor Walmart relocated from Chilliwack Mall to a superstore location in Eagle Landing in November 2010, it allowed Chilliwack Mall ownership to consider a reconfiguration and upgrade of the existing space on Luckakuck Way to make room for new tenants. Shoppers will find a refreshed centre, with brandnew tile flooring, upgraded ceilings and washrooms, and modern lighting. Comfy seating is going into the mall where shoppers can sit down and take a load off their feet in a nice atmosphere, he said. “It will have a modern and fresh look, and offer a satisfying place for families to shop in Chilliwack,” said Stathers. The new shops are positioned alongside existing stores like Safeway, Toys R Us, Warehouse One and the Liquor Store. Shoppers from in and around Chilliwack, as well as up and down the valley, are bound to appreciate the new shops, as well as the existing stores and services at the mall, said Pamela Law, property manager of Chilliwack Mall with Arcturus Realty. “We serve a role in the community, as a strong centre of convenience but also for bringing in destination retailers,” she said. A significant refurbishment and renovation of the mall is wrapping up, which will also serve to strengthen its position in the marketplace, said Stathers. “It will certainly draw people from far and wide,” he said. “We’ve seen a lot of growth in Chilliwack, and we’re trying to satisfy the retail service needs that come with that growth.”

New take on storm warnings

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

There were many memorable moments coming from last week’s wild weather. But one that might get overlooked is the City of Chilliwack’s effective use of the Internet and social media to keep the public informed about road conditions and emergency response. The use of services like Twitter and Facebook are certainly not new, and other communities have employed them to keep people better informed about the world around them. But last week’s winter storm demonstrated City Hall’s most effective use of the tool to date. Conditions changed rapidly as the storm developed, particularly on Wednesday when strong winds brought down trees, and blowing snow reduced visibility at times to nothing. Using Twitter, the City was able to communicate road closures (and there were many) in almost real time. That meant anyone with a smartphone, or Internet access was kept apprised of what areas to avoid. But the City’s response wasn’t just reactive. Its use of its own website kept residents informed about garbage pickup, transit information and public service closures. The updates were posted chronologically, with input from a variety of departments as the storm unfolded. Those not monitoring the website were kept informed through regular tweets. The messaging went from the mundane (closure of a landfill), to the more urgent (freezing rain and advice to stay off the roads). As that information went out, it was further disseminated by traditional media outlets (like the Chilliwack Progress), or retweeted by members of the public to their individual followers. The effect was a cascade of alerts that kept residents informed about what was happening now, and what might happen next. Certainly Chilliwack’s emergency response planners will find lessons in last week’s winter storm. They might want to make the public better aware that this information is being made available, or they might want to create a specific Twitter hashtag for these kinds of events. But they should be pleased with the effectiveness of their efforts, and the potential to keep residents during critical times. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Storm a lesson on the value of preparation Last week’s snowstorm, fast, furious and thankfully finished, came on the heels of what most of us were smugly enjoying as a warm and balmy winter. By Wednesday evening the maximum high temperature was -10.8 degrees C and the low -14.0 degrees C with wind chills at a bonenumbing -29 degrees C. That’s prairie winter stuff! According to Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada, last Wednesday Chilliwack experienced the coldest temperature since the low of -16 degrees C on December 29th 1990. Snow drifts, white out conditions and dangerously cold temperatures virtually shut down the town. At one point all main northsouth routes in Chilliwack were closed as were all schools and the UFV. Then the ice rain arrived, coating trees and power lines and

encasing the 30 cm to 90 cm drifts with up to 12 mm of ice in some places. Compare the last seven days to December when Pannett said it was the driest December up until December 25th since 1914. “After the mildest Christmas Day since 2005, temperatures peaked for the month at Margaret 12.4oC (8.0oC EVANS above normal). Rainfall totals were 63.86 per cent below normal and as in December 1991 there was an absence of snowfall.” Sounds like Januar y was Nature’s catch-up. Maybe the extreme turn-around from mildest to coldest is good reason to get up to speed and take stock of being prepared for

sudden weather changes. There’s still a month or two of winter ahead and those Arctic outflows could return. It’s very easy to be caught with too few supplies of food, first aid, medications, candles and matches as well as flashlights and extra batteries if the power goes out, extra blankets, firewood and kindling if you have a wood burning stove or fireplace, pet food, livestock feed, water, and a battery-powered radio. The City of Chilliwack has some good, practical advice on its website www.chilliwack.ca under its General Preparedness link. And the B.C. government’s Provincial Emergency Program has a great on-line book entitled Individual and Neighbourhood All Hazard Emergency Preparedness Workbook (www.pep.bc.ca/hazard_preparedness/AllHazards_ WEB.pdf). The link is also on the City’s website. The book was ori-

ginally developed for earthquake preparedness but given the variety of hazards we can be faced with it also addresses floods, forest fires including interface fires, landslides, avalanches, severe storms, tsunamis and hazardous material spills. The whole point to being prepared is having a plan on what to do in any eventuality and having a supply kit that contains everything everyone in the family will need to be self-sufficient for at least 72 hours. Keep the kit accessible, review it every 3-6 months, refresh it as necessary and store it away from dampness or the potential for rodents to check it out. Everyone in the family needs to know where it is. This is all well and good if everyone is at home during an emergency. But anyone commuting needs a travelling emergency kit in the event they become

And your cell phone should be fully charged An emergency can separate families with everyone at work, school, university, home, or travelling. Reaching one another might be difficult if contact is broken.. Consult with an out-of-town relative or friend who will act as a conduit to relay messages and information. Last week’s storm was brief. But be prepared for those that aren’t.

School decision draws fire My name is Angela Fooks. I am currently a Grade 12 student attending Sardis Secondary. I am very displeased with the decision in keeping District 33 open [Wednesday]. Students came to Sardis Secondary despite the dangerous conditions today and arrived at a school with no power and thus no heat. Several students were left stranded in the school for the remainder of the day despite the fact that a district wide “snow day” was belatedly called.

These students who used the bus system were forced to wait until the busses showed up at three, or had to call home. I understand that mistakes are made, however this situation warranted far greater organization then what was received. The conditions were much too hazardous for not only students of Sardis, but for all of district 33. The very slick state of the roads not only presented a danger to students and staff, but to all users of the road. Due

to the amount of snow on the sidewalks, students were forced to walk in the roadways, endangering not only themselves, but the drivers as well. In addition, the parking lot and driveway of Sardis remained deep in snow making it impossible for some buses to pick up the children without becoming stuck. For such a situation to occur is completely unacceptable. Shouldn’t the safety of the staff and students be the first priority?

Congratulations, on the editorial re: Re: Risky Dix (Chilliwack Progress, Jan. 17.) I consider myself as apolitical or even possibly just slightly right of centre, nonetheless, it

is refreshing to see a good piece of nonpartisan journalism. All too often the media’s coverage of political news is skewed, or missing key details and facts that reflect

the company’s political leaning. Having said that, and being a private citizen, entitled to his own opinion and compelled to express it without fear and a degree of igno-

rance. I believe that the only “Risky Dix” in Victoria are the “Christy Crunches.”

Anti-piracy laws threaten the Internet So the time has come for the U.S. to attempt global domination. Their way? Destroying the internet. Those not familiar with bill 3261 (SOPA) or bill 969 (PIPA) may not realize the pure chaos they will bring. These were created to remove piracy, originally, but have been twisted so that no website is safe. These legislations will allow the U.S., as well as stockholders and various businesses, to shut down U.S.-based sites completely for user-based content,

links to another site, or pictures obtained from another site. Not only will that cripple YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo!, Wikipedia-English, and countless others, but by hurting so many websites it will destroy jobs, as well as job listings. Even sites outside the U.S. won’t be safe. If the U.S. decides your site is against ruling, they will remove the right of any browser in the U.S. to access your site. Most of the members don’t even understand what they’re doing. They used the

phrasing “Computer Nerds” to reference to the people who use the sites. They need to be stopped. This won’t just hurt the US, it’ll hurt the world. PIPA may be passed on January 24, so there is not much time left. Please, do your part to protect your freedom! There are so many ways to help, so please do. It falls to you, the people, to save the internet. Laura Peterson Chilliwack, BC

Don’t forget about the animals In this cold weather please let’s not forgot our pets. Maybe your dog or cat is used to been outside, but these are extreme conditions. Either bring you pet inside or make sure they have lots of

food and a shelter to get out of the cold. I know I will hear well what about our homeless. They need help, too, but our pets rely on us for help. Animals can not help themselves. Let’s not

forget them out there in the cold and snow. Farm animals like horses need blankets and the other barn animals of course need a barn or shelter of some kind. Let’s also not forget

our feathered friends. If you have seed, hang up a peanut butter or fat feeder mixed with seed. Let’s help our helpless animals.

Virginia’s World Was Shrinking.

Student fights back against cancer Katie Bartel The Progress In the past year, 11-year-old Katelynn Elliott has seen more than her fair share of cancer. Her grandma was diagnosed with breast cancer and had a mastectomy. Her great uncle has prostrate cancer. Her mom’s 36-year-old friend is battling both breast cancer and ovarian cancer. Her uncle’s mom got sick one day, lost her vision, and within a month, was dead. They later learned, the 58-year-old nurse had brain cancer. “I don’t really like it,” she said. “It’s not really a fun thing to have.” Katelynn is trying to ease the pain for kids diagnosed with the disease. On Monday, the Grade 6 Tyson elementary student chopped off 12 inches of her

thick, golden brown hair that extended past the Luongo lettering on the back of her Canucks jersey, to help make a wig for a child in need. It takes 12 donations of hair and costs $1,200 to craft one hand-sewn wig for a child. “I think it’s really sad to be affected by this, and I’d like to make someone happy by helping them get a wig,” said Katelynn. “I feel that somebody else

Community

should have nice hair like me to fiddle with and play with.” Katelynn’s not just cutting her locks, she’s also raising money for the Canadian Cancer Society. She started a fundraising campaign on Jan. 9 that will last until the end of the month. As part of the campaign, she’s challenged her schoolmates to bring in as much loose change as they can for

the cause. So far, she’s raised $650 towards her $1,500 goal. For more information, or to donate, visit Katelynn’s Cutting for Cancer fundraising page on the Canadian Cancer Society’s website at http://cancerevents. kintera.org/faf/donorReg/donorPledge.asp?i event=420153&supid=3 49906896 kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

O’Mahony said the Chilliwack community has “a rich history of generosity” and has raised millions of dollars in the past to fund purchase of a CT scanner and to help pay for emergency room renovations at the Chilliwack General Hospital. Thorpe-Dorward said opening a new clinic in Chilliwack is “not something we’re looking at the moment,” but as the number of patients change in this fast-growing health region “it’s always something that would be open for consideration.” The Alberta government has operated two mobile dialysis units to bring the service to the patients since 2010.

“The coughing may be so bad that it makes a person gag or throw up,” health officials said. “Sometimes a thick, clear mucous is spit out. This cough can last up to a month or two, and happens more at night.” If your child develops symptoms, call your doctor right away. Your child may be examined in an isolation room so others are not exposed. Bring immunization records with you. A pertussis vaccine is usually given to children at age two months, along with vaccines for diphtheria and tetanus in a single shot. A booster shot is recommended for teens and people older than 10 years.

Same robber may have hit same Subway shop twice A Subway outlet on Yale Road was robbed twice in less than 24 hours, Chilliwack RCMP reported Thursday. And police investigators are looking into the possibility the same lone male is responsible for both. The first holdup happened at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday when a lone male, believed to be a First Nations man because of his speech and complexion, entered the restaurant at 46298 Yale Road and demanded money.

The next day, just after 10:30 a.m., another lone male, also described as a First Nations man, entered the same Subway shop and demanded money. “At this time the police are trying to determine if the suspect involved in both robberies is the same person,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said. In the first robbery, the suspect was described as about 5’7” tall, wearing a black balaclava, a longsleeved sweater with white stripes along the arms, and dark-coloured

pants. In the second robbery, the suspect was also described as about 5’7” tall, about 26 years old, who covered his face with his hand during the robbery. He was wearing dark pants, a black and white scarf and a dark-coloured, hooded jacket. In both cases, the suspect fled with an undisclosed amount of cash. Anyone with info can call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS.

Bartel 604.702.5575 • kbartel@theprogress.com

Dorothy Kostrzewa’s husband Richard has dementia. Richard is this year’s honouree for Walk for Memories. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Dementia takes its toll on strong couple ‘He was the most wonderful husband any woman could have... he never raised his voice’ Katie Bartel The Progress When Dorothy Kostrzewa’s husband started forgetting things two years ago, she thought he was just kidding around. Her husband of 55 years had always been a natural joker. So when he came to the breakfast table multiple times a week unshaven, or when he couldn’t find his keys, or kept asking where his wallet was, “I thought he was pulling my leg,” said Kostrzewa, former Chilliwack city councillor.

He wasn’t. Richard Kostrzewa, 85, was diagnosed in January 2009 with dementia. Dementia is a brain illness that affects memory, personality, impaired reasoning, day-to-day functioning, communication, and problem solving. In B.C., more than 70,000 people are currently living with Alzheimer’s or related dementia – a number that is expected to more than double within a generation.

This month’s Investors Group Walk for Memories is trying to change that. Like most families dealing with dementia, Richard and Dorothy’s journey the past three years has not been an easy one. Within six months of diagnosis, Richard’s calm, easy going character shifted 10-fold. He became angry, frustrated, impatient. He started throwing things, started yelling, started blaming his wife for his troubles. “He got so impatient with

everything and everybody,” said Dorothy. He took solace in alcohol. Every morning he rode his bike to the liquor store, because he could no longer drive, and in the afternoon, would have a drink in the den. However, because he was on medications for the dementia, he grew “violently dizzy,” and would often fall down – many times outside, in the middle of the street. And because Dorothy, now 83, is a petite woman, who had just had a hip replacement that same year,

ii MAKING CUSTOMERS FOR LIFE “Musicworx - They’re really good at what they do.” I was hanging around Musicworx listening to subwoofers ridiculously loud a couple of years before I was old enough to drive and when I got my ﬁrst car, you couldn’t keep me away. My boat and truck are my pride and joy – they have to sound AWESOME. Jesse and the guys at Musicworx know their stuff. They’ve got quality products and guarantee the best prices. I’m not going to lie: I’ve bought online and checked out other shops, but I always come back to Musicworx because they’re local, fair and honest. Hands down, Musicworx have the best people and the best prices for mobile and marine audio gear!

she had to rely on neighbours for assistance in helping her husband up. Their family pleaded with her to put Richard in a home. Their doctor told her it wasn’t safe anymore. But more than five decades living with this kind-hearted, soft-spoken, caring man, Dorothy wasn’t yet ready to give up on him. “He was the most wonderful husband any woman could have and a really terrific father; he never raised his voice,” said Dorothy.

“I told our doctor he wouldn’t hurt me because he loves me.” But because cognitive abilities progressively deteriorate with the illness, for many, expressing frustration through anger is their only way. “He was very, very

angry with himself,” said Dorothy. “He would break things, if his coffee was too hot, he would swipe it to the floor, he would throw things. I have pictures without frames now. “But every morning he would get up and not know what he had done, and he would feel so terrible, but by

the afternoon, he was back to doing the same things.” It took its toll on his wife, who was taken to emergency with her blood pressure at 200. Normal is 120 over 80. “They told me I should be dead,” she said. Ten months after Richard was diagnosed,

Dorothy contacted the hospital to come get him. He had been drinking, he was angry, she couldn’t control him. It took four months to sober him up. The doctors decided he was unfit to return home. For nearly two years Richard has lived at Cascade Lodge, where he has 24-hour special-

ized care. Dorothy visits him once a week. “I used to go once a day, but they told me not to come as often because it always upset him for days; it was better if he didn’t see me so much,” she said matter-of-factly. “He loves everybody else in there, but because I’m the one

who put him there, I’m ‘Bad Dorothy.’ “I miss the old Richard, of course I do, but when we get together now, we only laugh because we tell each other stories and laugh about them. “Some women and men have guilt complexes when their spouses are diagnosed, but I don’t,” she said. “Dementia is not discriminatory – it can happen to anyone.” The Investors Group Walk for Memories is on Jan. 29 at 2 p.m. at the Landing Sports Centre on Spadina Ave. Registration is at 1 p.m. This year’s walk is in honour of Richard Kostrzewa.

The top ﬁve skiing and snowboard injuries of the 2010-2011 Season were: knee strains/ligament sprain injuries, wrist fractures, skier’s thumb, snowboarder’s ankle and head/spinal cord injuries. Some of these injuries occur due to variable conditions in the weather, slopes, and fellow skiers, however, others’ due to muscle imbalances and increased tension that may predispose you to an injury that otherwise may not have occurred. Many of these injuries are preventable with simple tips that you can do in the off season and right now to keep you on the slopes. Are you prepared for a day on the slopes? Prior to hitting the hill, warming up with dynamic movements (leg swings forward/backwards, side to side, arm circles/swings, 2-5 minute fast walk or jog, and some lunges) will properly ensure your muscle are well prepared for the workout ahead. Drink water throughout the day and after to replenish the body and assist with recovery. Cold weather Camelback Systems made it easy to carry a water source with you on the slopes. If you’re renting equipment, be sure to test it out on easy terrain. Boot and binding ﬁt as well as proper set-up is crucial to preventing an injury on the slopes. Be sure to discuss this with the rental department at your local ski hill.

Don’t Let Yourself Slide Down the Slopes Everyone who skis or snowboards knows how it feels: We drive to the ski hill, wait in the ticket line, bundle up for that ﬁrst chilly ride up the chair lift, and eagerly start our ﬁrst warm-up run down the hill before attempting the jaw-dropping, daring runs. After a great day on the slopes, you head in for your favorite apres’ de ski beverage reminiscing about the day, before taking off your gear for the long drive home. I can already feel the stiff, achy sensation similar to the Tinman from Wizard of Oz...sore muscles, stiff joints and a recipe for injury.

This day and age, it’s rare to see people on the slopes who aren’t wearing a helmet. Even world class athletes rely on helmets to prevent concussions, brain injuries or potential spinal cord injury. Accidents can happen very quickly without you being responsible for them (i.e. weather conditions, fellow skiers, snowboarders, debris on hill) but you’ll help reduce your risk of injury by wearing a helmet on the hill. Spend 5 minutes stretching prior to driving home. Focus on your hamstrings, quadriceps, calves, and your mid to low back, holding the stretches for 45 seconds. You’re body will thank you for it later, and the drive home will be more enjoyable. Remember to spend some time stretching that evening and/or the next morning to ensure you stretch out those stiff joints and tight muscles. A physiotherapist at Fraser Valley Physiotherapy can help you develop a specific stretching and strengthening program so you’ll be ready for the slopes and free from injury all season long. What about Off-Season Strength Training? Off season training can build up muscle strength to better protect yourself from injury, jump in and out of turns with explosive power, as well as increase the chances that you’ll make it through that first day of the season on the slopes without having your thighs burning on every turn. Cycling, strength training, agility, and proprioception exercises, all cross over to the sport of skiing and snowboarding. Having a strong hamstring-quadricep ratio is also important to reduce your risk of injury. Talk with your physiotherapist about specific strengthening exercises to keep you strong and free on injury. A great exercise to help get your legs in slope-side shape: Wall squats with a ball squeeze. Set your feet about hip distance apart and 3 feet out from the wall and have a volleyball size ball between your knees. Slowly lower into a squat while ensuring your knees track over your second toe (start with ¼ squat and progress to ½ or full 90 degree squat). Hold this for 5-10 seconds, 3 sets of 10 reps, 3 times a week. Gradually progress this exercise to holding for 30-60 seconds to increase your endurance and strength specific for skiing and snowboarding. Be sure to see your physician prior to starting an exercise program. Ask your physiotherapist for a consult and assist you in developing a training program for your ski/snowboard season. Hope to see you soon on the slopes!

Outdoor entertaining areas have always been popular among homeowners. The ability to entertain friends and family or simply relax by yourself is something homeowners cherish, particularly during the warm weather seasons. Finding the right furniture to match your outdoor area, be it a deck, patio or poolside lounging area, is essential to making the most of this special area of the home. When shopping for outdoor furniture, consider the following. Weight: Unlike furniture inside the home, outdoor furniture will be moved around quite frequently, such as to protect it from inclement weather or changing seasons. As a result, the weight of the furniture bears importance. While you don’t want furniture that’s too lightweight and will blow away any time a strong gust of wind comes along, it’s a good idea to choose furniture that isn’t too heavy. This makes it easier to move should a storm suddenly appear and it won’t require the entire household to help move the furniture into and out of the garage when inclement weather arrives.

Comfort: The whole idea behind an outdoor entertaining area is to have a relaxing place to spend time outside. So be sure to choose furniture that’s comfortable and can handle the elements. Metal furniture, for example, might be durable, but such furniture can also get very hot if out in the sun. Versatility: Many homeowners enjoy changing their home’s interior decor from time to time, and it can be just as enjoyable to do the same to a home’s exterior decor. That said, look for furniture that can be accented with a variety of accessories, so you can change the look of your outdoor entertaining area easily. Protection: Protecting exterior furniture from the elements should be a priority. When shopping for outdoor furniture, figure out if protective covering is available or if it will need to be custom made. The latter alternative can be quite expensive, so you might want to consider more generic furniture that comes with standard protective coverings to make it more affordable.

Sail away to Alaska Chilliwack’s favourite travel contest returns to Heritage Park this weekend at the Home, Leisure, and Outdoor Living Show. This year, one lucky visitor will win a round trip cruise to Alaska, including all transportation from Chilliwack. The Chilliwack Progress, in partnership with Evergreen Exhibitions, once again brings you this popular and engaging contest, and guarantees you will not be receiving those annoying follow-up sales pitches after the show ends. Carlson Wagonlit Travel Chilliwack returns as contest sponsor and has provided a fantastic 7-night Alaskan cruise with Celebrity Cruises. They will also be present at the show to answer questions about the grand prize, or any other travel plans you may be interested in. The winner and a friend will be whisked from Chilliwack to Vancouver, where they will board the Celebrity Century cruise ship. The trip will take them through the Inside Passage to Icy Strait Point, Hubbard

Glacier, Juneau and Ketchikan. Everything is included in the trip, including three full meals a day, evening entertainment, and accommodations in an inside cabin, including full room service. But you’ll want to bring along some spending money for the casino on board, and for visiting the ports of call. The opportunities are endless, and include the usual choices, such as sightseeing, shopping, and exploring. But you could also go dog sledding, enjoy a helicopter tour, or take a tram to the top of a Mount Roberts for a full view of the area. You could visit the historic cannery at Icy Strait Point, explore native culture in Ketchikan, or enjoy the wildlife sightseeing in Juneau. This is the eighth annual “passport” contest at the Home and Leisure Show, and promises to be a popular feature again this year. Whether you’re a regular participant or a first timer, be sure to get in on the action this weekend.

Pick up your ‘Port Pass’ As you enter the main building of the show, stop by the Chilliwack Progress / Carlson Wagonlit Travel contest booth and pick up your “Port Pass”. While making your way around the show, which includes more than 160 exhibitors this year, you will seek out and collect stamps from official “stamping station” booths. Each of the stamping stations will have a unique stamp that they will use to authenticate your Port Pass entry form. Once completed, return your Port Pass to the main contest booth for your chance to sail away to Alaska, or win other great prizes. Winners will be contacted by phone the week following the show. For more information on cruises or other vacations, call Carlson Wagonlit Travel at 604-858-7288.

How to floodproof your home Homeowners know no home is perfect. While the notion of a dream house is nice, every home eventually experiences a problem or two. Many problems are bound to occur sooner or later, but there are a few that diligent homeowners can prevent. One of those preventable problems is flooding. Any home with floor drains or plumbing fixtures below street level can flood, and this can be due to inclement weather, such as heavy rainstorms, local sewer system backup, or groundwater swelling. Flooding can even occur in the spring when melting occurs as the air temperature increases. While homeowners won’t be able to control the weather, they can take steps to floodproof their home. Do some preventive landscaping. If the ground around the home’s foundation slopes toward the house, make some grading changes so that the ground slopes away from the home. Insulate the heating ducts. Some home heating ducts are under the

shop local

LY OWNE

D PROUD TE

BE LO C TO

basement floor. In such homes, homeowners should make sure these ducts are properly insulated and watertight. Make sure the vents all lead outside the home. The weather can cause moisture issues, but some moisture problems can come from inside the home as well. Clothes dryers and bathrooms are both internal moisture sources, and these sources should always be vented outside the home. Clean gutters and downspouts. Gutters and downspouts should be cleaned to ensure water is effectively being diverted away from the home. Clean gutters and downspouts in the spring after a long winter, and do so again in the fall to keep fallen leaves from blocking the flow of water. Downspouts should extend four feet from the outside wall of the house.

IF YOU CAN

SHOW

Create your dream home ... our exhibitors will make it easy!

But the inspections should not stop once buyers sign on the dotted line. To prevent flooding, homeowners should inspect their home’s foundation for cracks once a year. If the home has a chimney and fireplace, check for cracks there as well. If any cracks are discovered, consult a professional immediately. Clean out basement drains. Basement drains should be cleaned annually from the house to the street. If the drains are still slow after cleaning, then clean them more than once a year. When leaving the home for an extended period of time, turn the water valve off. Homeowners worried about flooding can calm those fears when going on vacation or another long trip by turn the water valve off at the source. This ensures that, should a line break while no one is home, water will not pump into the house.

dream

Inspect the home at least once a year. Before buying a home, buyers often hire a professional inspector to ensure the home is safe and sound.

Hundreds Expected to Cash In Today by Selling Silver & Gold Coins During Record High Market! By DAVID MORGAN STAFF WRITER

ICC will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1968 and U.S. coins made before 1970. Those that bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at by a specialist. With the help of these ICC members, offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1968. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1968 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies. Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot. If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors also known as ICC. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If it is rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms, coin collector and ICC member. One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICC and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold, says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes can be worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on common coins made of silver. Helms explains that all U.S. half dollars, quarters and dimes made before 1970 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a sellers market he said. The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These coins always bring big premiums according to the ICC. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays. Other types of items the ICC will be purchasing during this event include U.S. currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silver bars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreign coins are sought after and will be purchased.

Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s How It Works: Also at this event anyone can sell their gold jewellery, dental gold or anything made of gold on the spot. Gold is currently trading at record high prices. Bring anything you think might be gold and the collectors will examine, test and price it for free. If you decide to sell, you will be paid on the spot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; it has been an unknown fact that coin dealers have always paid more for jewellery and scrap gold than other jewelers and pawn brokers. So whether you have one coin you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited, you can talk to these collectors for free. If yourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun!

White shines as Chiefs beat Westside Warriors Chiefs general manager Harvey Smyl insisted the 20-year-old had offensive upside. He said this even though White’s career numbers suggested nothing of the sort, leaving at least one sports writer skeptical. Apparently, Smyl was right. “I’ve never had the Eric J.

long-named one put the puck past Gillam for his first of the year, chasing the keeper from the Chilliwack net. Backup goaltender Bryton Udy took over and did much better, though he looked a lot like Gillam on the third Westside goal. The Warriors took the lead on a strike by defenceman Peter MacIntosh, whose shot from the right point found its way through a partial screen and past Udy at 9:45. But with the seconds ticking away in the middle frame, White came through with a timely tally for the home side. The hulking blueliner cranked a shot from the left point that looked to change direction on its way into the Westside net. Derek Huisman and two Warrior defenders were both in the path of the puck, but it was

White getting credit for his first of the year. “I thought it was Huisman’s stick that tipped it, but he told me it wasn’t,” White said. “So it definitely went off a Westside player. I probably should have grabbed the puck. It’s not my first BCHL goal, but it is my first as a Chief, so I should see if I can find it.” The last highlight of the second period was a fight in which Chilliwack’s Shay Laurent absolutely pummelled Westside’s Shawn Hochhausen. Shots on goal through 40 minutes favoured the Chiefs 29-20. The third period started with another fight, this one between Thompson and MacIntosh. MacIntosh jumped Thompson after the Chiefs D-man laid out a clean neutral zone hit on Warriors forward

Marcus Basara. Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl was livid that MacIntosh didn’t get an extra two for instigating. He vented his frustration upon referee Nick Swaine, and less than two minutes later his team benefited from a possible make-up call as Westside’s Max French was assessed a doubleminor for slashing and hooking. But the Chiefs came up empty on the four minute power play. Neither team scored again before the end of regulation time, setting up sudden-death overtime action. Five minutes of four-on-four went by uneventfully, leaving five minutes of uniquely-BCHL three-on-three hockey. “It’s a lot of fun, very exciting and nervewracking out there,” White said. “Things can

change very quickly if you get caught up ice or make a bad read.” The Warriors almost ended it in the first minute when a horrible line change left Basara with a breakway from the blueline in. But Udy came up with his biggest save, stretching out his left leg as Basara tried to slip the puck inside the left goal post. “We were rotating three defencemen, shooting a D-man off to get a forward on for the rush. It gets a little confusing sometimes, and that’s what happened there,” White explained. “On the breakaway, Bryton thought he (Basara) was going to go forehand, so he shifted his weight. The guy went to his backhand, and Bryton kicked his leg out and got it with the blade of his skate.” And that was it as the clock ran out with

the teams still tied at 3-3. They say a tie is like kissing your sister, but with points at a premium in the Interior conference playoff race, the Chiefs will take the result. “Right after the game, you think about all the opportunities you had to put the puck in the net, and it’s tough,” White said. “But one point is better than none and talking to the guys in the room, they think we’re starting to get back to what the Chiefs are all about.” Chilliwack sits at 22-16-1-2, third in the Interior conference standings. They host the second place Merritt Centennials Friday night at Prospera Centre. The last place Trail Smoke Eaters are in Chilliwack Saturday night. Puck drop for both games is 7 p.m.

The BCHL landscape will change significantly next season, with the league’s board of governors passing several motions at their semiannual meeting in Richmond last week. The governors voted to cut the regular season from 60 games to 56, which they hope will give overall attendance a boost. “This will decrease the number of midweek games when fans are less able to attend,” a BCHL news release noted. “Now, a greater percentage of home dates can be held on the prime nights of Friday and Saturday.”

The BCHL plans to launch a showcase event in 2012. From Sept. 7-9 at a site to be determined, the Chilliwack Chiefs and every other team in the league will gather in one spot. Each team will play two games, with the results counting towards the regular season standings. The showcase is similar to events held in the Alberta and Saskatchewan junior hockey leagues where college and professional scouts are invited. The ‘official’ start of the regular season will be Sept. 14. The regular season will end Mar. 10, making the whole season two weeks longer than normal. Finally, the governors decided on a

realignment plan for next season, one that will land the Chiefs in the new-look Coastal conference. The Coastal conference will be split into two divisions, the Island and Mainland divisions. The Island division will include Victoria, Cowichan Valley, Nanaimo, Alberni Valley and Powell River. The Mainland division will include Coquitlam, Surrey, Langley, Chilliwack and Prince George. PG’s presence in a mainland division seems odd, but the Spruce Kings will be given the option to return to the Interior Conference after the conclusion of the 2013 playoffs. The new-look Interior conference will include the remaining teams; Merritt, Trail, Penticton,

Vernon, Salmon Arm and Westside. “These decisions were not made in haste and came only after lengthy debate by our governors,” said BCHL commissioner John Grisdale. “The BCHL considers itself an innovator and model for junior A hockey in Canada and these decisions, not all of them unanimous, have been made with the intention of ensuring the longterm viability of our league.” Each club has been asked to submit new playoff format ideas to the BCHL office by Feb. 1. Teams have until the same date to submit bids to host the showcase event. After that, decisions will be made and announced.

CFC filling vacancies Chilliwack FC will host its annual general meeting Jan. 30 at 7 p.m. in the Slesse Room

at Evergreen Hall. At this meeting, a new proposed constitution will be voted on. The proposed constitution can be found online at www.chilliwackfc.com. The following position are also up for election; U8-U10 fall coordinator, treasurer, vice chairperson, spring league coordinator, girls fall coordinator and boys fall coordinator. CFC’s 2011 financial statements, plus the minutes from last year’s AGM, can also be found at www.chilliwackfc. com.

B-ball battle A local hoops rivalry is renewed Friday night as the Sardis secondary school Falcons host the Chilliwack secondary school Storm in AAA senior boys action. The Falcons will have their hands full trying to shut down CSS’s leading scorer, veteran Gary McCrae. The Storm will have an equally tough time trying to contain Sardis’s young guns, Grade 10 standouts Hayden Lejeune and Eric Rogers. Sardis coach Kyle Graves is hoping for a packed gym.

ARMSTRONG Anthony Charles

Sept. 7, 1951 - Jan. 17, 2012 The powerful, creative, talented, generous spirit that was Tony passed peacefully on Tuesday 17 January at Cascade Hospice in Chilliwack. While Tony wanted to live, he knew the catastrophe of pancreatic cancer. He made each step easy on family and friends by accepting his medical condition, getting his affairs in order, and keeping his humour and insight razor sharp. He had closed his company FUBAR Electric and passed the torch for his many projects. Left to miss him most are his family: wife Karen Saenger, mom Phyllis, brothers and their families (Jim and Eileen, Shannon, Jeff, Brendan and Sara; Jo, Owen; Andy and Marilyn, Clayton, Kody; Gerry and Caroline), dad-in-law Adolf, sisters-in-law and their families (Susan and Phill, Ellen and Cameron, Maya, Jessie and Anja). Tony was predeceased by his dad Bob, sister Rosalie, mom-in-law Lotte, and nephew Morgan. Seldom reverent, Tony was a man of ever-ready contradictions: uncomplicated yet complex, tough but soft, exuberant yet cautious, shy yet engaging, critical and compassionate. He brought the same curiosity, wonder, and affection to the care of small critters as to the workings of the universe. Special thanks to Drs. Winston and Brown at the Abbotsford Regional Hospital and Dr. Bull at the Cascade Hospice for their personal attention and care. Nurses too numerous to mention will never be forgotten for the gentle and digniﬁed way in which they treated Tony. Please, no ﬂowers. Donations to Tony’s cat friends at the Chilliwack Safe Haven (49843 Chilliwack Central Road, V2P 6H3) or the Chilliwack Hospice Society (45360 Hodgins Ave, V2P 1P5) would be truly appreciated. A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 pm on Friday 27 January at the Woodlawn Mt. Cheam funeral home (45865 Hocking Ave, Chilliwack). Reception to follow at the St Thomas Anglican Church hall (46048 Gore Ave).

She was a hardworking, strong, caring and giving woman who will be greatly missed by all who knew her.

We know that she is now experiencing peace and joy with God.

Judy grew up in Kilgard, BC. She was predeceased by her mother, Marie Clark when she was only 9 years old and by her beloved father Frank Clark in 1965.

Judy came from a family of 15 and is also remembered by her remaining brother and sisters and numerous nieces, nephews and cousins. Judy will always be remembered for her love of God and family. She taught Sunday school for many years. She was a caregiver to many of her relatives, friends, neighbours and the elderly. The door to her home was always open and she made everyone welcome. She enjoyed spending time with family, friends and especially with her grandchildren. They could always count on Grandma for an animated game of Yahtzee or Triominoes. A memorial service will be held at Chilliwack Alliance Church on Wednesday, January 25, 2012 at 3pm. In lieu of ﬂowers donations can be made to The Heart & Stroke Foundation, The Diabetic Association or CNIB.
