No race for Chilliwack mayor’s chair

■ S UNNY T IME T O P ADDLE

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress No one is contesting the mayoralty race in Chilliwack. Incumbent Sharon Gaetz was the sole candidate for mayor to file nomination papers by the 4 p.m. deadline, city officials said late Friday afternoon. “I’m thrilled,” said Gaetz. “I hope it means people think I’ve represented them well and that we’ve done a good job.” The strength of the past three-year term was in council’s ability to remain “non-partisan” while conducting city business. “We don’t have slates or parties as they do in some larger cities,” she said. “So it attracts savvy people who have the community in mind. We don’t always agree, but we keep talking and we work as a team.” She hopes anyone who gets elected on Saturday, Nov. 19 will continue this trend, and to respect the diversity of opinions. There are a total of 21 candidates are vying for a council seat, while 24 are seeking election as school trustees. “People have a wonderful opportunity to choose from a large number of candidates this election,” she said. “It shows our community is engaged.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Electoral area directors at FVRD facing challengers The Progress While election candidates crowded municipal and school board races in Chilliwack, all seven incumbent electoral area directors at the Fraser Valley Regional District board are also facing at least one challenger. Area C director Wendy Bales, a strong voice for residents in the Lake Errock area who oppose

gravel mining and adoption of a regional plan to identify mine locations, is facing two opponents, corrections employee Colin Faulkner and realtor Mel Waardenberg. Area B director Dennis Adamson, an equally vocal critic of gravel mining in the region, is being challenged for his Yale-area seat by Andy Bishop, a freelance sound assistant working for B.C. films and musical groups. While gravel mining has been

far and away the most controversial issue in recent years around the FVRD board, other election candidates say cutting through “red tape” at the regional district tops their campaigns. In Area A, Jim Fougere, who is challenging long-time director and former FVRD chairman Lloyd Foreman, said the Boston BarNorth Bend communities need “new blood” and “new ideas” to create much-needed jobs.

NEED

“The regional district has to be more accessible,” he said. “We need to be helpful to people who come with new ideas.” Fougere sought election twice before to the FVRD board, but he said area residents have encouraged him to run again. “Even if I don’t win, at least I tried,” he said. Elementary school principal Taryn Dixon said there is no single issue that compelled her to run

against Dave Lamson, the incumbent in Area E that includes the Chilliwack River Valley, Columbia Valley and Cultus Lake. “I love living up here, and I want to do what I can to give back to the community,” she said. Dixon said how to manage growth in the area where gravel mining and logging vie with protection of the area’s natural assets is a top concern for her. Continued: VALLEY/ p12

Motel, RV park proposed in Popkum development Robert Freeman The Progress A three-storey motel, restaurant, convenience store and gasoline station are being eyed in a rezoning application south of the Highway 9 traffic roundabout in Popkum. And redevelopment of the former Dinotown theme park in Bridal Falls is finally getting underway with construction of a clubhouse for a strata RV park expected to start next month. But the application to rezone the 2.9-hectare (seven-acre) property at 53003 Bunker Rd. has some hurdles yet to clear, including a public hearing and issues around traffic and septic treatment. There have been two earlier

commercial development proposals of the property, one in 1993 for a similar motel, retail, restaurant and retail complex, but it was not approved by the B.C. Transportation Ministry. A traffic study is “critical” to the success of the current project, FVRD staff said in a report, because of its proximity to the Highway 9 roundabout. The area is identified for commercial development in the Popkum-Bridal Falls official community plan, which also calls for a pedestrian underpass as “a required component of any significant commercial development” east of Highway 9. An FVRD study also said an underpass in that location is a “pri-

ority” to complete the community’s linear trail system. Fraser Health Authorities and the B.C. environment ministry must review the proposed septic system. The applicant is proposing to develop the property in stages, starting with the gas station and convenience store. A second development proposal for the property in 2001 was also similar, but a key part of that project was a fueling facility for commercial transport trucks, which the community objected to, and so it was abandoned by the applicant. The site is part of a larger 17-acre property that was split in two by construction of Highway 9. It was used for housing and farming until

the late ‘80s, but has been vacant since the early ‘90s. Redevelopment of the Dinotown property at 53480 Bridal Falls Rd. has proved a rocky road for the new owners. Tri-Star Development Group principal Ron Sturm said he is dismayed that it took more than two years to get approval for a project that will turn “a tired, beat-up children’s park into a world-class facility that people can enjoy for years to come.” He said the proposal needed only a “minor” change in zoning to build a 200-lot bare land strata campground holiday park. Sturm credited Popkum area director Bill Dickey and FVRD general manager of community

■ B OOK S ALE S TARTS W ITH A B ANG

and regulatory services Suzanne Gresham for their support of the project. Dickey said in a report to the board that the Popkum-Bridal Falls community supported the application, and that it will have a “positive impact” on the local economy. Gresham said in a separate report that despite staff concerns “the interests of the community at large should prevail.” “On balance, it appears to me that the Bridal Falls business community is very desirous of ensuring that there are continued opportunities for economic development in the area, both now and in the future,” she said. rfreeman@theprogress.com

John Viau of Agassiz looks through the thousands of books for sale at the annual Chilliwack Rotary Book Sale at Chilliwack Mall on Monday. Viau attends the book sale every year and also donates books once he’s finished reading them. The sale continues throughout the week and ends on Saturday.

The 2011 Business Conference at the Coast Chilliwack Hotel features the first public allcandidates’ event of this fall’s municipal election campaign. The format will be more presentation style than debate, given that there are 21 candidates vying for a seat, said conference chair Kirk Dzaman. But there may be some time allotted for rebuttals. “Candidates will be given three minutes to make their opening statements,” he said. Moderator David Sliman will guide candidates as they answer a range of pre-submitted questions about election platforms and positions, as well as questions from the public coming from the floor. The all-candidates’ meeting at the Coast is open to the public, and it will run from 12:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. during the 2011 Business Conference, presented by the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce and CEPCO. Organizers are asking everyone interested to RSVP to info@chilliwackchamber.com to give them an idea of attendee numbers. On Friday night keynote speakers at the conference will be Chris Emery and Larry Finnson, creators of Clodhoppers, ranked among the top candy brands in Canada according to A.C.

‘Domestic assault’ leads police to marijuana grow-op The Progress Police responding to a possible domestic assault in the 8900-block of Glenwood Street earlier this month found a marijuana grow-op in the residence.

Three people were arrested, a 36-year-old Vancouver man who owns the home, and a 31-yearold man and a 40-year-old woman who had been living there since May. All are facing charges of production of a controlled

substance. The 700 marijuana plants, discovered during the standard “safety search” of a residence when police respond to a domestic assault report, were located on the lower floor. Half the plants were

3-4 feet high, and the other half were juveniles. The grow-op was dismantled after police obtained a search warrant, and a municipal ‘No Occupancy’ order was placed on the residence by city bylaw enforcement officers.

A WIDE VARIETY OF FOOTWEAR TO FIT A WIDE VARIETY OF FEET.

IT’S WHAT MOTIVATES.

A hydro bypass was also located, and further charges of theft of electricity may be laid. “Whatever way we can come upon marijuana grow-ops, we’ll certainly take it,” RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said.

If police can reduce the crime that marijuana grow operation generate, she said, it will meet the objectives of the RCMP’s three-year strategic plan to keep Chilliwack and other Fraser Valley communities safe.

Strong interest in the Chilliwack municipal election continues with 21 candidates coming forward by the Friday deadline. Realtor and lifelong resident Brenda Currie, 55, said she has always wanted to serve on council, in part to expand the “business values” responsible for so much success in Chilliwack. “At a time when we may be facing a worldwide recession, I don’t believe that it is in the best interest of any of us to risk losing our focus on creating jobs and helping our local economy,” Currie said in a release. As mother of three boys, she’s cognizant of how crucial good-paying jobs are for local families. “I’m going to do my part to bring those jobs here,” said Currie. Attracting large employers to Chilliwack, like Stream, as well as more medium and small businesses, is part of her platform. Currie, an avid charity-advocate, noted that Chilliwack is losing an “incredibly dedicated” woman councillor with the retirement of longtime member Pat Clark. “I believe that council needs strong, business-minded women, like myself, to run and try to follow in her capable footsteps.” Making Chilliwack healthier and more prosperous are part of Ron Browne’s election platform. “Chilliwack is a caring community,

Crowded field for school board Twenty-four names will be featured on this year’s school trustee election ballot sheet – more than three times the number from the last election. As the 4 p.m. deadline loomed Friday, an additional handfull of potential candidates submitted their names. Bar r y Neufeld, Kirsten Brandreth, Nicki Redekopp and Audrey Stollings will be running. Neufeld is a familiar face at the board level. He ser ved as Chilliwack trustee for 15 years before electing not to run last term due to conflicts with furthering his education as well as needing a bit of rejuvenation. He went back to school and obtained his master’s of arts in chaplaincy. “I was kind of running out of what I thought were new and fresh ideas,” he said. “So I went back to school and I took a lot of courses in strategic planning, leadership and governance.” If elected, Neufeld plans to focus on all aspects of education, not just the examinable portions. “I believe that all our students need to experience a sense of mastery in our school district,” he said. “The Fraser Institute would

tend to put pressure on school districts just to focus on a student’s ability to master writing exams, but there is more to education than that. We shouldn’t be focusing on just one set of skills as being worthy of encouraging. We should be a more holistic, all-rounded system, recognizing different kinds of skills that can be mastered within the public school system.” Kirsten Brandreth, a mother of two, has been supporting public education at the parent level for over 16 years. She has volunteered in several capacities at schools, has sat on numerous committees, was president of the Chilliwack District Parents’ Advisor y Council (DPAC) for the maximum fouryear term, has worked with the provincial B.C. Confederation of Parent Advisor y Councils, and is now the current vice president of DPAC. For more than four years, she has rarely missed a public board meeting.

“I am a positive, energetic, outgoing person, while at the same time, I can be assertive and have no fear asking difficult questions when needed,” said Brandreth, who has worked in the insurance industry for 29 years and has held a managerial position for 15 years. Brandreth wants to bring better technology support to the district, increase communication between all stakeholders in the school community, and help to create a more functional, cohesive board that supports its senior administrative team. “Last, but certainly not least, I want to create an environment that is productive and efficient,” she said. Nicki Redekopp believes her financial background would be a huge asset as a trustee. For 10 years, Redekopp and her husband have run their home-based bookkeeping and tax return business, Redibooks

R AESIDE

Playing for the cameras Like many politicians, Premier Christy Clark has never met a TV camera she didn’t like. She took her zeal for the lens to new levels when she suggested during last week’s throne speech that television cameras should be allowed into courtrooms during the trials of those charged in the Stanley Cup riots. Clark said since they had no problem doing their crimes before the cameras, they would have no problem with their trials being in front of cameras, a statement that had some wondering if she hadn’t already convicted them before their day in court. Naturally, the New Democrats jumped on her suggestion. MLA Kathy Corrigan, the party’s public safety critic, called Riot TV a gimmick. The premier insisted her suggestion wasn’t a political stunt because opening up the courts is part of opening up government. That may be the case, but her suggestion is arbitrary. If courtrooms are to be open to television cameras, is this not a change that should be debated in the legislature and other public forums? Cameras in the courtroom would constitute a major shift in justice policy in this country. The United States has allowed them for decades. There are many who believe it’s been a good thing because it’s made the justice system accountable. Others believe the cameras bring an artificially high level of melodrama that subverts the justice process. Theoretical logic aside, there is also the financial cost such a system would impose on a government already strapped to pay for basics like health, education and enough judges to keep the court system moving. Prosecuting the rioters is a hot button topic in these parts, and Clark recognizes that. However, her suggestion smacks of attempting to endear herself to the electorate without carrying out the proper process to make the change. Allowing cameras in the courtroom is worth debating. If adopted it should be implemented with forethought and planning, and not arbitrarily. ~ Black Press

Wall Street protests lack coherent message The protest against big business and big banks this weekend seemed more like a pick-a-gruntday than anything focused and organized. There were more questions on what it was about than on a central issue with reachable solutions. The demonstrations became a launching pad for all other perceived grievances – aboriginal rights, health and poverty complaints, labour issues, environmental causes, end national banks, forgive debts, stop global warming and so on.. Cluttering a public demonstration misses an opportunity to get a single, important message out. Inspired by New York’s Occupy Wall Street movement (which apparently was an idea spawned here in Vancouver by Adbusters magazine) a few weeks ago, the movement spread to 15 cities across Canada as well as

around the world when city parks became campgrounds and thousands marched through various financial districts. The stand against corporate greed in the U.S., where millions are jobless, losing homes and losing hope for any end in sight might make sense. But Canada fared better in the 2008 recession, our banks are betMargaret ter organized and EVANS regulated than U.S. banks, and our economy continued to tick over. Stacked against scores of other countries, Canada emerged a pack leader. We can at least boast a decent and attainable health care system, safety and security, housing (outside of the obvious high end locales) and the

democratic right to the freedom of speech. The demonstrators protested against what they see as a corporate system favouring the rich at the expense of the majority – that other 99 per cent. On their website they state that “the ninety-nine per cent come together with our diverse experiences to transform the unequal, unfair, and growing disparity in the distribution of power and wealth in our city and around the globe.” They argued the system is broken and that wealth distribution is lopsided. Young people can’t get jobs and the middle class is disappearing. Just how accurate that is debatable but it at least deserves attention. According to a report by the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, Canada’s richest 1 per cent (about 246,000 people) took almost one third (32 per

cent) of all income growth in the decade from 1997-2007. That’s a greater percentage than ever before. Yet among those wealthy individuals, 67.6 per cent of their income came from working wages just like the rest of Canadians. A similar report by the Conference Board of Canada highlighted the same trend. “Canada had the fourth largest income inequality among its peers,” said Anne Golden, President and CEO of the Conference Board in a press release. “Even though the U.S. currently has the largest richpoor income gap among these countries, the gap in Canada has been rising at a faster rate. As we highlighted in our analysis of Canadian income inequality in July, high inequality both raises a moral question about fairness and can contribute to social tensions. In Canada, the gap between the

rich and poor has widened over two decades, especially compared to our peer countries.” The tension that Golden referred seems to be the focus of the demonstrations. But the success of democracy is built on the ability of those who seize opportunities and build successful companies that offer employment, lead in research and development, profit from expansion, offer further job opportunities and have a stake in the nation’s economy. Just what the demonstrators want to change isn’t clear. The message, the intent, is muddied and if they want to get politicians, policy makers and corporate leaders to listen, they need to mobilize around a leader of their own with clarity, vision and the ability to structure the problem in such a way that others are willing to sit and listen.

Walter Used To Eat Frozen Dinners Alone

Chilliwack makes the connection Today I attended Chilliwack Connect at the First Avenue Alliance Church The promoters and organizers should truly pat themselves on the back. It was wonderful – so many people from all walks of life enjoying the talents of others. The food was excellent and the music fabulous. When Patsy left the stage to serenade several people in the audience, she brought a tear to

my eyes. I have seen some of these people at the local shelter, but never had I seen someone tip back their baseball caps and sing love into their eyes, (well done, Patsy). Also, watching people arrive for their free haircuts was so captivating. Many arrived really needing more than a little hair or beard work, the transformation of not only their hair but their countenance was amazing.

Sad tale not typical Thank you for the article on the tire slashings. (Chilliwack RCMP confirm tire slasher targeting U.S. fishermen, Progress, Oct. 11.) We too were visiting Americans and had our tires slashed. This was so unlike the past experiences we have had in Canada. In fact we lived in Saskatchewan for ten years and never experienced any anti-American sentiment. Thank you again for bringing this sad tale to light. Larry L. Jerke, Parker, SD. USA

There were also pedicures and lots of other free stuff. I heard a local spa, Undine’s, closed their doors on Saturday so they could provide these much needed services. To each one who gave in their own way, I say a big thank you. Yes, Chilliwack is not only the Greenheart of B.C., but the heart of B.C. I am so grateful to live in such a community. Anne White

Given that we all rely on healthy air, water and soil, and that volunteering can provide as much as 800 per cent return on investment (National Council on Aging “The Boomer Solution: Skilled Talent to Meet Nonprofit Needs”), I have to question the government’s priorities.

However I think we would be better served to perhaps spend $27,453,000 commemorating the War of 1812 and $547,000 supporting the Canadian Environmental Network. I imagine that our preCanadian ancestors would agree that investing in our future is more important than investing in our past. Ian Stephen, Chilliwack, BC

Yellow-tinged salmon carcasses showing up in local rivers this fall are raising red flags. Longtime Chilliwack angler Chris Gadsden said he was shocked to find a yellowcoloured chinook salmon recently in the Vedder Canal. “I’d never seen one like that before, in my 30 plus years of fishing the Vedder,” he said. He was so concerned, he went ahead and sent some samples to DFO by Greyhound bus for analysis. Gadsden, 68, has a growing number of questions about

what he found, especially in light of biologist Alexandra Morton’s decision to sound the alarm on the appearance of yellow salmon, suggesting they may be suffering from a form of salmon jaundice. But the yellow colouring of the carcass found in the Vedder is “not particularly” unusual, according to Lara Sloan, DFO media spokesperson, in an e-mailed response to The Progress. “Even live fall or white Chinook have variation including gold and reddish colours,” she said. DFO technicians regularly

DFO technicians regularly “assess and collect various biological information” from Vedder River chinook carcasses, from the hatchery to Keith Wilson Bridge. “Included in those details would be evidence of prespawn mortality. “We will also collect carcass condition, lengths, scales, otoliths and heads for CWT purposes,” Sloan reported. “The crew just started on Tuesday and have seen very few carcasses. “There have been no reports of anything unusual at this time. Gadsden said he started asking questions after hearing that Morton had been in the Fraser Valley recently looking into stories of pre-spawn mortality of sockeye and coho, in Fraser River tributaries feeding into the Harrison River. Dr. Morton had this to day about the yellow salmon she found on Oct 5: “I am now examining the brains of these dying salmon myself, because I have lost all confidence in DFO,” wrote Dr. Morton on her blog last week. “On my trip up the Fraser River two days ago I also found four yellow pink salmon. Even the cartilage inside the fish’s head was yellow. Dr. Laura Richards, DFO’s director general of science for the Pacific region, was asked some very specific questions in an open letter by Morton to Fisheries and Oceans Canada, about links between the dying salmon and a disease in farmed salmon caused by a type of salmon leukemia. “I want your report on these jaundice farm salmon and the jaundice pink salmon that DFO must be aware of – why are they yellow, why are there so many of them, is this the Chilean virus Dr. Marty notes and how would such a virus get here? “We know some of the fish farmers in B.C.

also have operations in Chile,” wrote Morton. “Funding provided by the public is currently being used to study jaundice that is killing farm Chinook salmon. Please send a progress report to us.” Morton asserted that

His campaign includes working toward a “zero based� budget, and a cost benefit analysis for city spending. “I believe in maintaining an affordable tax structure by using sound spending practices,� he said in a release. “By keeping infrastructure current and by fostering a positive business climate we can protect what we have today and keep it that way for generations to come.� Kornelsen pointed out that family printing business has been a going concern in Chilliwack since 1979. He’s been a partner for 15 years, and owner for five. Successful business strategies will

hold the city in good stead, he said. “We must continue to encourage a vibrant downtown core while maintaining and expanding parks and recreation services,� he said. The Greendale resident has been married to Adina for 37 years and they have four children. He’s been involved with Burden Bearers, Stillwood Camp, Chilliwack Rotary Club and Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce.

Don’t Get Hamstrung by a Hamstring Injury Hamstring (back thigh muscles) injuries are the most common of muscles injured in sports that involve rapid acceleration and sprinting. Such sports include: soccer, football, oor hockey and baseball. Re-injury rates are often quite high and recovery is slow due poor rehabilitation/management and not ďŹ xing the cause of the injury. Whilst a previous hamstring injury is the greatest risk factor for re-injury; appropriate assessment, treatment and rehabilitation can help optimize recovery and return you to sport while signiďŹ cantly reducing the chance of re-injury.

Mechanism and Type of Injury Of the three hamstring muscles, the outer muscle (biceps femoris) is the most commonly injured. Injury most often occurs during rapid acceleration or running at maximum speed when the foot is swinging forward or as the foot contacts the ground at the start of the stride. There are three grades of hamstring strain. A Grade 1 strain exhibits minor tearing of the muscle, possible swelling and minimal tightness of the muscle. A Grade 2 strain demonstrates a partial tear of the muscle causing a limp while walking, sudden twinges of pain with activity and visually signiďŹ cant swelling and bruising. A Grade 3 strain refers to a severe tear or complete rupture of the muscle and requires crutches to walk as severe pain is present during walking and swelling is immediate. Initial Treatment Initial treatment should follow the R.I.C.E.R principle for 48-72 hours post-injury. RICER stands for; Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation and Referral. In addition, the No H.A.R.M principles should be implemented in order to optimise recovery and return to sport. H- Heat A- Alcohol R- Running / exercising the injured area M- Massage Heat and alcohol increase bleeding and swelling which can delay healing. As such you should avoid hot showers or baths, saunas, spas and hot packs. Furthermore, massaging the injured area and exercising it within the ďŹ rst 2 days of the injury increases blood ow which can increase swelling and be negative to the repair process; and should be avoided. After the ďŹ rst 48-72 hours, massage can be useful in conjunction with physiotherapy. In addition to the above mentioned principles, the muscle should not be stretched for 48-72 hours to allow the healing process to begin. Rehabilitation Appropriate rehabilitation should focus on the local hamstring muscle injury. However, other factors may be involved, such as muscle weakness of the Gluteals, stiffness of the lumbar spine (low back) and an irregularity in your running style. These will be assessed and evaluated during the ďŹ rst couple of Physiotherapy sessions. Depending on the grade of hamstring strain, recovery can take from three weeks for a Grade 1/2 to 6-12 weeks for a Grade 3; as long as appropriate treatment is administered during the required time frames and at an appropriate regularity. Your Physiotherapist will focus on regaining full range of motion and gradually progressing your strengthening program while providing functional strength training to optimise your recovery back to your chosen sport/activity. Given that previous hamstring injuries (which aren’t properly rehabilitated) are the biggest predictor of future hamstring strain it is vital that you regain full strength and pain free movement before returning to sport. When can I Return to Sport? Before any return to competition is considered an athlete must be able to participate 100% in training. Furthermore, it is crucial for a sprint based athlete to perform repeated sprints without hesitation, limitation, pain or tightness. An Example Test: 5 repetitions of 80 metre sprints three times (15 sprints in total). During the initial 30 metres you accelerate, the middle 20 metres is constant (just before the discomfort feeling) and the ďŹ nal 30 metres you slow down. Your rest is the walk back to the start line. Please remember a successful recovery will dramatically decrease the incident of future hamstring strains. Your recovery should cover all facets of your hamstring injury and not just the injured muscle itself. I hope this has provided you with a broader understanding of hamstring injuries and what is required for optimal recovery. Please do not hesitate to contact any of the Physiotherapists at Fraser Valley Physiotherapy to help you with a full and successful recovery following your hamstring injury or any injury you are suffering from. However, the best way to prevent hamstring injuries is to ensure you have done a proper warm up prior to vigorous activity, and stretching the muscles after activity.

SCHOOL from p5 week on class size and composition, not believing it to be entirely accurate. “Over the next two weeks, my goal is to find out a true picture of class size in the Chilliwack school district,” she said. “There

are going to be classes with more than the allowable number of students and this needs to be disclosed and not disguised or buried in a report. “I believe that open communication is the only way to clearly define the issues we face before

we can work on solutions.” Other new candidates include Jack Bass, Tammy Brown, Karen Conway, Daniel Coulter, Don Davis, Joey Hagerman, Karen Jar vis, Walter Krahn, Brett Lawrason, Les Mitchell, David Russell, Harold Schmidt, Vern

Progress Katie

Bartel 604.702.5575 • kbartel@theprogress.com

Computer whiz-kid takes on the world Katie Bartel The Progress For Michael Christensen, training for WorldSkills was like training for a marathon. The computer-aided design wunderkind spent more than a year training for the international competition, starting out slow with just a few hours a week, and gradually building up to a dedicated 8-10 hours a day. He practiced modeling different objects, tested himself in speed and endurance, and participated in several specialized skill training sessions and projects. He started up a new company, 5.0 Design Co., to fine tune his skills in a range of areas. And as the competition grew nearer, he packed his bags and moved to Langley where he could put all efforts into training with no distractions. He left behind family, friends, girlfriend. “My preparation period was very intense,” the 20-year-old told The Progress in an email interview. The competition, “was definitely more intense than anything else I have ever competed in.” His hard work paid off. In the category of mechanical engineering design, Christensen placed 7th at the WorldSkills competition held from Oct. 5-8 in London, UK. He is the top placed Canadian ever to compete and was awarded a medallion for excellence. But like all ace competitors, Christensen was initially disappointed with the placing. He’s used to coming in first. “I felt very disappointed to have worked so hard, but to not actually win the event,” he said. “I gave it everything I had, competed better than I ever have in the past, and worked to a level I never knew I could achieve. I know there is nothing else I could have done. I was as prepared as I was ever going to be and I gave it my all. “In the end, it just came down to the fact that everyone who competed was fantastic. And the margin of separation was very slim as far as marking went, only by

a few per cent along the top 10,” he said. The competition had 1,000 young competitors from 51 countries competing in 46 different skills. In Christensen’s category, he was up against 20 other competitors, and was just 30 points off from gold, 12 from bronze. Competitors from Brazil, Singapore and Switzerland took gold, silver and bronze respectively. “I achieved 7th ... which is the best any Canadian has placed in this category,” said Christensen. “I feel very proud knowing that and I am confident that I was able to do my country proud.”

Over four days, Christensen and his fellow competitors were given four projects to complete in a specified time frame. They had to model missing parts for a remote-controlled car; design and model welded frames for an automotive assembly plant; and design a worm gear system to drive a metering pump, which had an interfering component that they had to identify and redesign. They had to create assembly drawings, rendered images, threedimensional flyover animations, and more. “The challenges were very difficult, much harder than any I’ve ever encountered during a compe-

tition,” said Christensen. “Some of the projects were even designed so that we could not finish all of the tasks and actually had to choose our priorities.” With more than 2,000 spectators watching, some might have caved in to their nerves. But not Christensen. After eight competitions regionally, provincially, nationally, he was well versed in calming the butterflies. And if at any time, he felt overwhelmed, he knew he had support near and far. “I had many people cheering me on; my friends and family back home, my girlfriend and her family, and various companies

I worked with who helped me through my training period,” he said. “My mom, dad, brother and sister even flew out to cheer me on during my final competition days. “It was fantastic knowing I had so many people rooting for me all over the world. I know I couldn’t have done it without him.” For many people coming off a marathon experience, they’re not too quick to commit to another. But Christensen, he’d do it in a heartbeat. “Of course I would do it again,” he said. “It is a fantastic experience that I would recommend to anyone.” kbartel@theprogress.com

Food is a necessity of life. However, finding groceries that are nutritious and affordable can be a challenge for a family in today’s economy. But now there is an oasis, says Kelly Fowler – literally. The Oasis Outreach Society is a unique downtown grocery store that provides a low-cost option to residents on social assistance or a limited income. The store, which opened just a month ago on Yale Road, makes good a promise Fowler made to himself when he was a homeless teenager living on the streets of Toronto. He vowed that if he ever had a chance, he would repay the kindness that was shown him. Fowler left those streets and eventually found success in the trucking industry. Says Fowler: “I wanted to do something to pay back my good fortune, and that’s what I’m doing.” He made no secret of his plans to help out the less fortunate. So when he eventually retired, few were surprised when he started calling in favours, and many were more than willing to help. Oasis counts on donations to stock its shelves. It takes advantage of situations where waste may occur in the food distribution industry and redirects that surplus to its store. Food that can’t find room on Oasis’s

shelves is distributed to local food banks and other agencies. The results are high-quality products – similar to anything on a grocery store shelf – but available for much lower prices. Indeed, some of it – like a couple of loaves of bread with every order – is even free. But not everyone can take advantage of those savings. Only members can shop there – members who have qualified by either being on social assistance, or demonstrating they have an annual income of $14,000 or less.

(Prospective clients can apply through social services, or they can contact their church or some other agency.) Open just over a month, Oasis already has 450 members – most of them families. The store is staffed by volunteers who take a lot of satisfaction from seeing the help they are providing, Fowler says. “It’s a good feeling.” Oasis Outreach Society Store is located at 46191 Yale Road, Chilliwack. For information, call 604.392.2091.

Community Nursing students share knowledge at health fair Whether you’re interested in old age heart health or dental care for preschoolers, an upcoming event will have information that can help you or a family member. On Friday, Oct. 21, the University of the Fraser Valley fourth year nursing students are holding their annual health fair at Sevenoaks Shopping Centre in Abbotsford. At the day-long event, students who are currently taking their community health nursing course will be offering free information on six topics: bone health for women, heart health, drinking and driving for young adults, dental health for preschoolers, child safety for 0-2 year olds, and the benefits of breastfeeding. Organizing the information fair is part of their community education training, explains UFV Nursing instructor Sheila Edwards.

UFV from p18 of their curriculum. Students will be actively encouraging people to view their display and engage in discussion. Some will even have games and prizes. “It gives the students a chance to share what they know about that topic with the public, and allows them to be creative when developing the display and making sure it’s evidence based,” says Edwards. “The public can certainly learn something about topics that may be important to them or their family members.” “There’s something for everybody,” adds Edwards, citing that there will be information about infant care to older men and women with heart disease. UFV nursing students have hosted the public health fairs for more than 10 years. This year, the event takes place on a professional development day, allowing school-aged kids to observe and take part. The health fair will run from 9:30 a.m. –9 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 21 at Sevenoaks Shopping Centre in the section near the Dollar Giant.

Natural Farmhouse Cheese owner Debra Amrein-Boyes, and Dan Stefenson, executive director of Tourism Abbotsford. Stefenson outlined the importance of the marketing efforts that promote the Circle Farm Tour for each of the five communities involved. In addition to Agassiz-Harrison Mills, they are Abbotsford, Langley, Chilliwack and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows. Each community’s group of businesses or farms participating in the program is required to pay $4,000 for the wider, regional marketing that promotes the Circle Farm Tour. The District has awarded the program

$1,000 each of the past two years. That leaves $3,000 to come out of the pockets of the businesses involved. Stefenson told council that a 2008 survey found that 92 per cent of Circle Farm Tour visitors spent money while visiting a farm business. On average, those 2,405 visitors spent about $27, equalling a total of $650,000 that year. That doesn’t even include the amount spent on items such as gas, hotels, coffees or at other non-Circle Farm Tour businesses. “I think the important thing is it benefits the whole community,” Leon said. The local group of Circle Farm Tour businesses currently are behind with their $4,000 obligation to the larger regional group.

“But they’re being patient for the money,” Leon added. Each business already pays to be a part of the program, paying for ad space in this community’s brochures. Council assured the Circle Farm Tour delegation that they would forward their request onto their financial officer, who was absent from the meeting due to annual holidays. In Agassiz, the Circle Farm Tour businesses are Valedoorn Farms, Tulips of the Valley, the Agassiz-Harrison Museum and Visitor Info Centre, Canadian Hazelnut, The Back Porch, Farm House Natural Cheeses, Limber t Mountain Farm, Kilby Historic Site and Tulips of the Valley.

News Fire destroys Brooks Ave. home No one was injured in a fire that destroyed an unoccupied Brooks Avenue home early Friday night. But the family’s pet dog died in the fire that ripped through the home in the 46000-block Brooks Ave. at about 6 p.m. The cause of the blaze is under investigation by police and fire officials. Assistant Fire Chief Ian Josephson said fortunately the tenants had left the house earlier Friday, but the dog was not so lucky.

“TRUST THE PROS AT TIRELAND™â€?

He said the one-storey, single-family home was fully involved when fire crews arrived and flames were “rolling out the front windows.� “Fire crews managed to knock the fire down quickly to prevent the fire from extending into a detached garage located at the back of the property,� he said. There was extensive fire, smoke and water damage to most of the house. The investigation into the cause continued Monday.

Chilliwack’s U-16 soccer Strikers hosted Royal City United at Townsend Park on Sunday, blanking the visitors 2-0. Through 40 minutes, most of the action was in the midfield. Chilliwack broke through the Royal City D a handful of times with glorious opportunities for forwards Emily Finley, Makayla Pfeifer and Haley Mainse. But none of their shots hit the target and the first half ended scoreless. Chilliwack stepped on the gas in the second half, using short passes and hard checking to maintain possession. Nevertheless, it took until the 38 minute mark for the Strikers to finally score. Taylor Allen was fouled outside the 18 yard box, giving the locals a direct free kick. Kristy Ricard made no mistake, picking a spot dead center, just under the crossbar. The Royal City keeper only got fingertips on it as it sailed over her head. With less than a minute remaining in the game, Chilliwack midfielder Emma Haagensen sent a perfect pass to Kiana Thiessen at the top of the 18. Thiessen chipped her shot past the sprawling netminder, catching the bottom corner to seal the victory. Chilliwack finds themselves tied for first in the early-season standings, hitting the road this weekend for a pair of games.

ROADSHOW HAS FINALLY ARRIVED IN CHILLIWACK! By: Michael Ross Great Canadian Roadshow

A

fter two successful weeks in Williams Lake, the roadshow is headed to Chilliwack! So you better search through your attics and basements, go through your lock boxes and jewelry, because you may be sitting on a small fortune and not even know it! Roadshow experts are here to examine all your antiques, collectibles, gold, and silver. During our show in Victoria, a woman came in with a jewelry box that she had just inherited from her late aunt. “I don’t wear jewelry,â€? explained Cheryl Barnes, “so it was an easy decision to come down to the Roadshow to sell itâ€?. She was very excited when she was able to walk away with a cheque for over $2,100 for jewelry she was never going to wear anyways. Expert Cliff Edwards explains, “We have noticed a substantial increase in the amount of precious metals such as gold and silver coming to the Roadshow, which makes sense considering how high it’s currently trading at. He added, “The Roadshow is great because it puts money in people’s pockets, especially during such hard times. Lots of items that are just sitting around collecting dust in basements and jewelry boxes can be exchanged for money, on the spot! â€?. At another Roadshow event, a woman walked in with a tin full of hundreds of old coins that were given to her DV D \RXQJ FKLOG E\ KHU JUDQGIDWKHU 6KH ÂżQDOO\ GHFLGHG to come in to the Roadshow and see what he had given her. She was ecstatic to learn she had coins dating back to the late 1800’s, some of which were extremely rare. Roadshow consultant Raymond Flack explains “We had uncovered an 1871 Queen Victoria 50 Cent piece, valued at over $2,000!! She also had a nice assortment of coins that were not rare dates, but she was able to sell them for their silver contentâ€?. All in all, Roadshow customer Linda Donaldson was able to cash in with $4,500! “I’m so happy, “Linda explains, “I never would have thought WKDW P\ ROG WLQ RI FRLQV ZDV ZRUWK VR PXFK , FDQ ÂżQDOO\ afford to renovate my kitchen.â€? Raymond Flack continued, “Canadian coins prior to 1967, and American coins prior to 1964 are all made with silver, and we have noticed a large increase of customers coming to the Roadshow with coins and cashing them in for their silver value.â€?

Any generous donation given during the promotion period†to the Heart and Stroke Foundation will be matched dollar for dollar by the Great Canadian Roadshow up to a maximum of $50,000 received in donations. The Great Canadian Roadshow reserves the right to further match any or all donations exceeding the aforementioned amount of $50,000. †March 1, 2011 to February 28, 2012

Trains, dolls, toys, old advertising signs, pocket watches, porcelain and bisque dolls, pretty much everything can be sold at the Roadshow. Any early edition Barbie’s are sought after by Roadshow collectors, as well as a variety of Dinky Toys and Matchbox Cars.

KOBES Kingston Reid October 2, 2011 Three weeks before his due date and before he could take a breath in this world, the Lord in His inKOBES finite wisdom took our beloved son up into eternal glory and spared him the pain of this world. We’ve never heard Kingston’s voice, but we know he is singing before the throne of God and of the Lord Jesus. Kingston is the cherished son of Richard and Krista Kobes and a beloved brother to Parker, Deakan and Presley. We wait in hope for the LORD; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love rest upon us, O LORD,even as we put our hope in you. Psalm 33: 20-22 We’d like to thank everyone for the amazing love and support during this difficult time. A special thanks to all the staff at Chilliwack General Hospital Maternity Ward, with special mention of Nicole, Shelley, Esmeralda, Natasha, Dr. Smith, Dr. Smit and Dr. Basson.

MACLACHLAN Morag

Born December 24th, 1920. Passed away peacefully on October 7, 2011 at the Vancouver General Hospital. Predeceased by husband Ian Maclachlan; brother Ian Campbell and nephew Jamie Campbell. Lovingly survived by sister Mary Mishra (Naren); nephews Gord Campbell (Dereth); John Plane (Angela Fahy); David Plane (Rosemary); nieces

Sheila Mishra (Jagannath Chingunde); Veena Mishra; Pratibha Sarkar (Anil); and Goddaughter Marion Campbell. Morag was a strong independent woman who lost her husband after less than one year of marriage. She went on to become an avid historian graduating from UBC in 1972 with an MA thesis on the “Fraser Valley Milk Producers’ Association: Successful Cooperative.” Her last teaching post was at Langara College in Vancouver and in 1983 she retired as head of the History and Political Science Department. One of her highlights as a historian was editing “The Fort Langley Journals - 182730” and seeing this work published in 1998. Morag grew up in Chilliwack, and as an adult purchased a cabin at Cultus Lake from her father. She spent some wonderful years at the lake, and “Argyle” won’t be the same without her. God be with you Auntie Mo. We will miss you terribly. A social gathering to remember Morag will be held at the Celebration Hall, which is located inside the Mountain View Cemetery, 5445 Fraser Street, Vancouver (entrance at 39th and Fraser) on Friday October 21, 2011 starting at 2:00 P.M.
