Students angered by threat to prom night Katie Bartel The Progress Grade 12 students in Chilliwack may be denied a longstanding rite of passage that their older counterparts were granted. Last week’s vote by the teachers’ union to withdraw from volunteer extracurricular activities has left Chilliwack’s graduation banquets in jeopardy. While district superintendent Michael Audet informed The Progress that commencement and scholarship ceremonies will still go ahead without teacher involvement, he said the graduation dinner and dance is still up in the air. “I don’t know about [the banquet], there’s been no This is decisions made on that something we yet,” said Audet. The thought of not havlook forward ing prom infuriated several graduating students at to our entire Chilliwack secondary. school career “I think prom is just as important as regular ~ Shannon commencement,” said Grade 12 student Shannon Hames Hames. “This is something we look forward to our entire school career. It’s our one last shot at seeing everybody and hanging out.” Never mind that many of the graduating students have already purchased gowns, shoes, accessories. They’ve rented tuxes, put deposits down on limos and other fancy vehicles. They’ve made hair appointments and had dresses altered. And some of the boys have gone to imaginative lengths to ask their dates to prom. “I was asked just last week on a donut,” said student Shay Ritchot. “I’d be really upset if I didn’t get to go.” Initially Ritchot had no intention of going to the grad banquet, it wasn’t her thing, but because her mom always regretted not going to hers, Ritchot made an effort, and even started getting excited for it. This is as much for her as it is for her mom, Ritchot said.

instance, the convenience store where she was last seen no longer exists. “We don’t have the big dollars,” Parker said. “We do what we can.” The department also maintains the state-of-the-art media equipment in the PRTC classrooms. Hiscoe said the training videos help show officers how to assess the risk they may encounter in different situations on the job. He said the videos don’t show trainees how to respond to those situations, but to analyze the actions taken by the officers in the video and to judge whether correct deci-

RCMP training videos that will be watched across Canada were made in Chilliwack by the multi-media department of the Pacific Regional Training Centre. “The multi-media department at PRTC is recognized as one of the best in the country for doing this kind of work,” RCMP Cpl. Steve Hiscoe said in a telephone interview from Ottawa, where he is finishing post-production work on the training videos. Last month, actors and a production crew hired by the multi-media department
filmed seven different training scenarios in locations around Chilliwack and in Cultus Lake. Leann Parker, PRTC multimedia production manager, said the department staff of three do two national projects every year, but many more smaller projects that are used for training or public communications, like web-casting and crime-scene re-enactments. Creativity is a key ingredient in the success of the department, Parker agreed, finding the right actors, the right production crew and the right locations for filming. Re-enacting the disappearance of 10-year-old Joanne Pedersen 25 years ago, for

sions were made. The seven scenarios, filmed in both English and French, show officers using different levels of force: baton, spray, pistol and communication to deal with situations like a protester at a VIP visit, like officers at a child apprehension confronted by the parents, like a robbery in progress and an impaired driver resisting arrest. “Each video has a special objective and teaching point to it,” Hiscoe said. The training videos are updated every two or three years as use-of-force issues emerge like the use of Tasers. rfreeman@theprogress.com

Aquilini interest gives Falls golf course new life Robert Freeman The Progress The Aquilini Investment Group, owner of the Vancouver Canucks, is stepping in to save the Falls Golf Resort in Chilliwack. The hillside golf resort has been floundering since early 2011 when Rick Wellsby, president of Blackburn Developments Ltd., filed for bankruptcy protection as a $75-million debt threatened to swallow up the resort.
A court-appointed monitor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, started looking for potential buyers, but that process apparently failed when a “vulture fund” called Streetwise Capital Partners based in Toronto acquired enough proxy votes from creditors to foil a $15-million bid by Pinnacle Land Developments Inc. to buy the resort. Michael Thornton, Silver Falls Development Inc. president, said as his company Landus Development Group was the resort’s single larg-
est creditor, he decided to foreclose and join Aquilini in a “team effort” to save the golf course. “The course was deteriorating, so we enacted our right ... we foreclosed,” Thornton said Wednesday. “If I hadn’t foreclosed, and Aquilini hadn’t come in, we would have lost that golf course,” he added. Thornton said an “order absolute” was made last Friday and property title was transferred to a subsidiary of the Aquilini Group. Aquilini officials did not return
an interview request before Wednesday’s deadline, but Thornton said he believes the company plans to have the golf course “up and running” in the next month or two. The health of the golf course is seen as key to surrounding property values of residents who bought into the resort and expected it to continue as a premiere golf destination. Thornton said he is confident Aquilini will be more interested in maintaining the resort than the “vulture” companies.
“I really didn’t want to have our bones picked clean,” he said. “As a relatively small business owner, it made sense to me to bring on (Aquilini) who could develop the resort,” he said. In addition to owning the Canucks hockey team, Aquilini owns two golf courses in Pitt Meadows and holds the Pizza Hut franchise in B.C. “Really, they’re big in a lot of things,” Thornton said. “We feel they’re the best owner/operator for the whole community.”

Students from Cheam elementary point their teammate to the correct answer during Book-O-Rama at Strathcona elementary. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Book-O-Rama puts the fun into reading Katie Bartel The Progress It was like bumper cars on scooters. Inside the gym at Strathcona elementary last Thursday morning, young book lovers from four different schools lined up behind the balance beam, bodies silently shaking with anticipation as they awaited their question. “In what book is a dog named Turtle?” the announcer asked through the microphone. As soon as the announcer gave them the “Go!” kids jumped up, raced across the balance beam, planted their bums on a small square scooter, and shot across the length of the gym floor, flinging a plastic ball out of a scoop and into a milk crate before sprinting back to their starting positions – all in a flurry of ear piercing cheers and chants from their sit-
ting teammates. If their answer was Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing, they got a point. Welcome to Book-O-Rama. Book-O-Rama is a district-wide, voluntary, reading-incentive program, organized by the Chilliwack Teacher-Librarian Association as a way of encouraging students to read good books and have fun doing it. “It’s an opportunity for kids who love to read to participate in a day of fun events based on some of their favourite characters,” said Watson elementary school’s teacher-librarian Carrie Klassen. For five months students in Grades 3-6 have read a multitude of books, including George’s Marvelous Medicine, How To Eat Fried Worms, The Breadwinner, and Thief Lord. They’ve read at recess, at lunch, after school, on weekends, before dinner, before

bed – any spare opportunity they had, their eyes were glued to the pages. All in preparation for Book-ORama. You see, these kids have heard stories about the annual event, some were even past participants, and they know it’s more than just rapid-fire questions being thrown at them Jeopardy style. Oh no, Book-O-Rama is a morning filled with outrageous laughter and a fun-filled relay obstacle course that tests not only their fictional knowledge, but also coordination and fitness. Most notably with the scooters. Some kids were old hands at it, speeding down the wood floor backwards, using their small feet to propel them faster. Some tried different tactics, kneeling down on one knee and using their other leg to move them forward, and one even tried mounting it with

her belly as though she were on a waterslide. Some shot down the lane straight as an arrow, but most weaved and zigzagged along the gym floor, some going completely diagonal across – so focused on getting to the end, they had nary a thought for the other competitors on the floor. Much to the laughter of teachers, parents and classmates watching on the sidelines. By the end, the organizers hoped to have opened the minds of non-readers and readers alike. “We’re trying to stretch them beyond their comfort zones, open their minds to different genres,” said Klassen. Thirteen schools participated in Book-O-Rama, which was hosted at four different schools, with an average of 10 students per school. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33
Chilliwack RCMP have located a “person of interest” in their investigation into an alleged online child-luring attempt last November. RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said several public tips were received by police just hours after a picture of the person of interest was released to the media. “We’ve found him,” she said. “We know where he is. We’ve made contact.” She said police investigators will now interview the man “in an effort to further the investigation.” The picture released by police is the same one that appeared in a YouTube video last November made by Chilliwack teens dressed as superheroes. The video alleged the man had answered an online invitation to have sex with a 15-year-old girl. The video shows one of the teens dressed as Batman confronting a man in a Chilliwack playground and accusing him of being “a pedophile.” The man in the video denies the accusation, saying he is meeting a friend. The teens posted several similar encounters on their To Troll A Predator site. The YouTube videos went viral, but the police went ballistic, saying the teens could find themselves in dangerous situations, and could possibly hamper ongoing police investigations into online sex predators. Wolbeck confirmed the current police investigation “was initiated as a result of a November investigation involving the costumed young men,” but police do not encourage this kind of pro-active public crime-fighting. “Despite the results of the investigation, the RCMP does not condone any form of vigilantism,” Wolbeck said.

No decision on two-week spring break The Progress Despite 83 per cent public support for a two-week spring break, Chilliwack school trustees were still divided on the issue.
DELIC
At Tuesday’s meeting, the board of education directed staff to negotiate with Chilliwack teachers and support staff to enable a two-week spring break for the 2012-13 school year, and to also
develop a long-term plan to continue having extended spring breaks in the future. However, tr ustees Doug McKay and Heather Maahs wanted to postpone action until the May 8 board meeting, noting complications that could arise from Bill 22 legislation. When Bill 22 was imposed last month, a section was removed that took away flexibility from school districts to cut hours from staff, such as CUPE, which felt the largest brunt the last time the school district went to a two-week spring break. Now, if school districts want to impose an alternate school calendar, they must negotiate sepa-

The Spirit of the People Powwow lives on in Chilliwack. Organizers are pleased with the turnout last weekend since reviving the event for the first time in a few years. “We had about five times the number of people we had projected would attend,” said Maxine Prevost, an organizing committee member. About 600 people paid the $2 admission on both Friday and Saturday, she said. “We had so many elders. That’s what blessed me so much. About one-quarter of those who attended were elders,” she said. The attendees to the traditional powwow came from as far away as Saskatchewan and Idaho to share traditional dancing, singing, drumming, and more. The event went smoothly with the help of 130 powwow volunteers.

that will give us a wider breadth to make a fuller informed decision,” said Maahs. But trustee Barry Neufeld said there was no reason to continue stalling, and trustee Walt Krahn said the favourable response from the community “is a very, very strong indicator that people support this idea.” An online survey posted on the school district’s website from April 10-19 had 2,421 responses. Of those responses, 83 per cent were in favour, 13 per cent opposed and four per cent non-committal. Of parents who responded, 78 per cent were in favour. Ninety per cent of teachers and 74 per cent of support staff were also in favour. McKay’s motion to postpone was denied. A decision on extending spring break for next year will be made at the May 8 meeting.

rate agreements with the individual unions. “I believe the changes to Bill 22, with the removal of section 78.1, may have implications for bargaining with the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association and the Canadian Union of Public Employers,” said McKay. “I don’t feel comfortable with the information at this time.” McKay added there were other not-yet-speakable options presented in the in-camera meeting that he believed should be discussed publicly before any decision was made. “There are at least three to four other proposals discussed in the in-camera meeting that I believe need to be here,” McKay said. “They’re not here and I don’t believe that’s right.” Maahs also felt uneasy moving forward. “I feel like we need to make sure we have every option available to us ...

Tycrop expansion plan still under wraps Neighbourhood meeting planned for May Robert Freeman The Progress Tycrop co-owner Scott Mason won’t go on the record about the company’s expansion plans. At least not yet. But Wednesday he released a brief statement saying the company is “exploring ideas around development — nothing is firm yet” and that a neighbourhood meeting in planned for May. The company is also going to create a community blog space “for information and discussion,” Mason said in the statement. Presumably, that’s to counter the wave of opposition to the proposed removal of farmland that’s building up on a Facebook page called Chilliwack Gripes and Solutions. Susan Payne, who lives across the street from the proposed expansion site on McGrath Road, started up the page. She began wondering if there was a “done deal” in the exclusion request

after B.C. Premier Christy Clark visited the plant with byelection candidate Laurie Throness in tow. Throness later confirmed the expansion plans were discussed, but he declined to comment on what he considered “private” discussions. Chilliwack MLA John Les also talked in the B.C. Legislature about Tycrop’s “great expansion plans” and the jobs that will be created. Payne wondered how politicians could be so confident about the expansion, when the exclusion hasn’t been approved by the Agricultural Land Commission. Payne agreed the proposed expansion across the street will block the view of her “dream home” facing the mountains, but she’s also worried about the loss of more farmland. “The valley floor is precious to me,” she said. “It produces what feeds my family.” “Everybody has a stake in preserving farmland,” she said.

Wildfire fighting training in Chilliwack
The Progress Would-be firefighters are at boot camp at RCMP Pacific Regional Training Centre in Chilliwack learning how to safely suppress a raging wildfire. The 200 potential firefighters were short-listed from about 1,000 applicants, said fire information officer
Fionna Tollovsen. They were split into two groups, with the second starting on Sunday at the PRTC. The concern this season has to do with low snowpack levels — specifically in the northeast and southern interior parts of B.C. — which could mean they’ll have a busy wildfire season. A total of 60 wildfires have already
been reported across B.C. this year to Wildfire Management Branch. “All have been person-caused,” explains Tollovsen. “This time last year we only had 24 fires.” Boot camp training will last about one week, and they’ll do classroom as well as field work revolving around safety. “It’s a pretty intensive seven-day camp, but most of the participants
enjoy it.” They have to pass a fitness test and be able to carry a fully charged hose. They’ll be hiring between 135 to 155 new firefighters for the coming season. Over the past 10 years, the average number of fires reported per year across B.C. is 1,969, with an average total cost of $144.8-million. jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Arsons cause concern Three separate fires within two hours early Tuesday are believed by RCMP officials to be arsons. A garage was set on fire on Margaret Avenue at about 1:40 a.m., and at 3:20 a.m. police were called to a bush fire on Coventry Place. At 3:32 a.m. another bush fire was reported at the corner of McIntosh Drive and Hocking Avenue. “In both bush fire incidences, the bushes were in very close proximity to a building or structure,” Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. “Although the damage in these three cases was minimal the potential is enormous if they continue,” she said. The RCMP investigation continues. Anyone with information is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS.

Rosacea

Rosacea is an acneic like facial skin disorder that is often mistaken for a simple complexion problem or sunburn. Left untreated, the redness becomes more permanent and tiny blood vessels may become more visible. Bumps and pimples often develop and in advance cases especially in men, the nose (rhinophyma) may become bumpy, red and swollen from excess tissue. Some of the most common triggers of rosacea include sun exposure, stress, hot or cold weather, alcohol and spicy foods to name a few. Although there is no cure for rosacea it can be managed to minimize the symptoms. Management treatments may include topical prescriptions, IPL laser treatments, appropriate skincare, recognizing and managing your rosacea triggers. Daily sun protection is essential.

An Intimate Evening with
District approves Rock Legends Chilliwack special ed review A fund raiser for Katie Bartel The Progress After months of hearing complaints from parents with autistic children and support staff working with them, Chilliwack school district has agreed to undergo an external review of its entire special education department. However, what school trustees and some district staff did not know is that a review of the department was first proposed – and subsequently denied – a year ago. That news angered trustee Heather Maahs, who over the last two months has championed the issue on behalf of parents with autistic children. She called on superintendent Michael Audet to explain the lack of information. “If a review was in the works going back a year ago, why was this information not provided to us especially due to the fact that I made requests [for special education reviews] that were denied,” said Maahs. On Feb. 20, Maahs put forth a motion to create an ad hoc committee for autism, which was denied. On March 13, she tried to put forward another motion for an external special education review, which failed due to it being a last-minute change to the agenda. “I don’t understand why this information was not disclosed at that time,” said Maahs. Audet, who was rehired in the summer as temporary superintendent, clarified that he was not working in the district when the first review was proposed last spring. He only just learned of it last week when Susan Edgcombe, district principal of student services, resubmitted the proposal. When the first review was proposed in 2011, the district decided against it due to the special education department recently being amalgamated with the student services, curriculum, and aboriginal education departments. However, in light of recent events, it was decided an external review was needed. “Your superintendent
believes this is something we need to do,” said Audet. The external review will be conducted by Dr. David Carter, a special education consultant who recently retired from the University of British Columbia as director of external programs. The process will follow the guidelines set by the B.C. Education Ministry, and is expected to be underway by August. As part of the review, all parents of students identified with special needs will be given an opportunity to provide input, as will teachers, educational assistants, principals and vice principals. A three-year strategic plan will be developed following the completion of the review. Tr ustee Barr y Neufeld agreed an external review is well overdue. “The district hasn’t had one in a long time so it’s probably high time,” he said. “This review will bring us up to speed.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Teachers take big gamble B.C. teachers are taking a big gamble by pulling out of sports and other extra-curricular activities. While the intended target of their campaign is the provincial government — which they want to withdraw Bill 22, the document enforcing mediation and new class size and composition rules — what teachers are more likely to experience is strained relationships and a drop in public support. Teachers, who have enjoyed strong parent support in their last two contract disputes, say they must take this action because the legal right to strike has been taken away from them. But few students and parents in the weeks ahead will be able to equate the loss or complication of planned school activities with larger issues the teachers seek to address. If they wish to keep the public on their side, B.C. teachers will need a deft communications strategy to explain why collective bargaining principles are more important than an end-of-year field trip or tournament — or grad. What’s more, many of these events will go ahead anyway, if enough parental support can be found, leaving teachers with less clout and fewer relationships on which to build strong bonds. With parents and other members of the community picking up the slack, teachers will be left out of the loop and out of the action; their students will go on with their lives, winning ribbons and scholarships and other acknowledgements without the teachers who helped them earn these achievements. And for those students who struggle, there will be another reason to disengage when their favourite coach, choir or other sponsoring teacher stops giving their free time for political reasons or because they fear reprisals from their co-workers. All this heartache would be worth it if there was some tangible pay-off in the end. But the public education system has never been perfect and teachers will be hard-pressed to explain how punishing kids is punishing the government. ~ Black Press

Imagining an NDP government in British Columbia VICTORIA – NDP victories in two byelections bring the standings in the legislature to 46 B.C. Liberals, 36 NDP and three independents, one of whom has pledged allegiance to the B.C. Conservatives. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins put a brave face on his third-place finish in Port MoodyCoquitlam and Chilliwack-Hope. Even in bedrock conser vative Fraser Valley farm countr y, in a protest byelection with a high-profile candidate, the B.C. Conservatives managed to attract just enough to deliver a landmark NDP seat. The NDP was helped by the absence of the B.C. Green Party on the byelection ballots, with most of its five-per-cent support from 2009 presumably going to the winners. Cummins said his party’s goal going into the Port MoodyCoquitlam vote, with an unknown

candidate and a handful of volunteers, was to break 10 per cent. They got 15 per cent and he declared a moral victory. Cummins rejected a possible merger with the “discredited” B.C. Liberals. Premier Christy Clark was equally emphatic that she will be the leader of the “free enterprise coalition” in the 2013 election. So the stage is set for an NDP majorTom ity government. FLETCHER What will that look like? Well, Port Moody mayor-turnedMLA Joe Trasolini has a wealth of local government experience, so pencil him in as municipal affairs minister. A long-time supporter of the B.C. Liberals, Trasolini should clarify if he endorses the NDP constitution, which still
opposes all profit-making activity. He’s not the only high-profile newcomer likely to be included in an Adrian Dix cabinet. New NDP candidates from union executive ranks will likely include long-time Hospital Employees’ Union president Judy Darcy. She no longer talks about bringing a “Marxist analysis” to economic matters. Darcy is now best known for leading the long court battle against the B.C. Liberal government’s contractbreaking legislation of 2002. The eventual decision of the Supreme Court of Canada basically invented a constitutional right to collective bargaining. (The high court could also ponder if there might be a right not to belong to a union, but that’s another story.) Then there’s George Heyman, the long-time B.C. Government Employees’ Union president.
After leaving the BCGEU, Heyman has taken a turn as executive director of Sierra Club B.C., a branch plant of the U.S. enviromachine that works against B.C. forest, mining, power and petroleum development. These folks would be working with Stephen Howard, who went from senior positions at the BCGEU and CUPE to his current role as Dix’s chief of staff. Dix, of course, benefited from the sudden ouster of Carole James, who made the mistake of trying to loosen big labour’s grip on the NDP and modernize some of its quaint 1930s notions. Then we have B.C.’s thirdlargest political party, the B.C. Teachers’ Federation, which has already confirmed it will continue its long campaign to replace the B.C. Liberals with the NDP next year. Such a team brings impressive experience, but unfortunately for

taxpayers, much of that experience has been in extracting money from the public treasury. And if recent B.C. histor y is any guide, this fundamental conflict of interest will receive little or no media attention in the months to come. Instead, the conventional wisdom will be that voters want “change.” • Correction: Last week’s column referred to the 1971 Greenpeace campaign against atmospheric nuclear testing. That protest boat was directed at a U.S. nuclear test off Alaska, not a Soviet test as stated. Subsequent Greenpeace protests targeted the Soviet slaughter of grey whales, and the last atmospheric nuclear tests, conducted by France in the South Pacific.

Parents urged to get involved 12 or not, to drop an email to the administration at our three secondary schools and offer your time. Everyone remembers their graduation, and with a little help this can be a very positive experience in such a challenging time. Getting involved is very rewarding and it really isn’t as time consuming as you think it is.
With parents putting their names forward to help, maybe we won’t be losing out in some extracurricular events that are now, unfortunately, on the back burner. Please consider what you can do for your kids and others in this time of need. Kirsten Brandreth
Government should listen to teachers I am appalled at the lack of initiative the B.C. government is taking to end the B.C. teachers’ job action. It is a travesty that the government would pass legislation that is so “communistic” in nature and remove the teachers ability to bargain by taking away their right to strike. In the teaching community my children are taught in, it is evident that the teachers main goal is not to have an increase in wages, but to increase the help needed by teachers in the classroom, to make their teaching time
effective. I have two children, one in middle school one in elementary as well as experience in the teaching profession. Most classrooms are full to bursting and in many classrooms there are currently up to four and five children with significant disabilities ranging from children requiring full time care to dyslexia. Each of these children may or may not, depending on their disabilities qualify for a teacher’s assistant. Regardless, many of these children don’t have access to the help
they or their teachers need to provide quality education for the entire class. Many times teachers are spending so much time trying to maintain order in their classroom due to lack of staff, that many minutes a day are wasted in just trying to get all the students to work together. I have been incredibly disappointed that the government has not looked into new effective ways to manage these situations or tried to work with teachers to make their jobs effective. I have heard a number of teachers
comment that segregation, in terms of interest and ability even as early as elementary school would be incredible helpful for all of them. As the parent of two very different children with two very different learning styles I would agree! At this time, however, I would like to challenge the government to look at the proposal by the BCTF and give serious consideration to the points that matter through the eyes of the children, who are our province’s future.

Re: Tom Fletcher’s BCViews column titled ‘Dumbing down the environmental movement’ (Progress, April 19) I look forward to every one of Tom’s columns: they are so hysterically funny! Although I sometimes wonder why he makes such fun of himself. Maybe he always wanted to be a clown and fell into writing by accident? To illustrate Tom’s dry wit here’s a quote from his April 19 column: “This isn’t science or charity. It’s tabloid journalism. Sensationalize, ignore facts that weaken the drama, play to people’s emotions.” Tom really knows how to deliver a punchline, doesn’t he? But of course he would, because that quote exactly summarizes all Tom’s little jokes. Those three sentences are the essence of everything he writes. I wonder if he’s thought of trying standup comedy at Yuk Yuks?
I’d like to say “thank you” to Hofstede’s Country Barn for being able to shop in your store with my family, including my grandchildren, and for being able to invite a friend for lunch in your little cafe. Thank you for keeping family values in our community. Thank you for not having magazines at the check out counters, or even in your store, that feed our children and families pornographic pictures and filthy subtitles – magazines that tear family values apart and do our society no good. When I and my family have waited at check out stands in other stores I have been appalled by just how far we’ve regressed as a society and a community by what we’ve put up with and allowed to happen. We have to stand there with our families and be subjected to those pictures and titles when they could be put into another aisle. Thank you for even closing on Sunday so that you yourselves can have time with your own families. Your store and values are greatly appreciated and respected by many members of our community. Thank you and I hope you continue to be such a great example and a safe place to bring anyone at any age to shop and eat out.

view with The Progress, Chilliwack Teachers’ Association president Katharin Midzain said the vote to withdraw from extracurricular activities was not an easy one to make, especially when it came to teacher involvement in graduation events. But teachers have to think about the whole student body, not just Grade 12 students, she said. “I think it comes down to re-evaluating what’s
important and certainly at this point in time what’s absolutely critical is the maintenance of a public education system that serves everybody’s needs, not just the Grade 12s,” said Midzain. But that’s little comfort for the students graduating in two months time. “I understand job action, but I don’t understand why they have to cancel a once-in-a-lifetime event,” said Hames. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Chamber Connections Chilliwack as a Leader Chilliwack is a leader in community mindedness that transcends and makes business more than “just businessâ€?. How do I know this and how does this relate to our local business and the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce you might ask? I have had the pleasure to continuously observe Chamber members engaged in the community across a broad spectrum. Each and every conversation with members and prospective members inevitably comes to a place of intersection where there is community connectivity. Examples are the referrals to our monthly Chamber Connections where newcomers to Chilliwack are invited as welcome guests by our business members on a regular basis. Where most conversations end with action items to get together at another community function that supports a worthy cause, or where business owners, large and small, make concrete plans to work together on common issues to beneďŹ t not only themselves but the community as a whole. The marketing mantra, “Know, Like, Trustâ€? is indicative of what the Chilliwack Chamber
21
of Commerce provides for established and new members alike. We create venues with opportunities for businesses to come together to get to know one another, create relationships and do business with one another. When provincially the polls were showing that most businesses weren’t optimistic about 2012 our membership polls showed that 84% of our Chilliwack Chamber businesses were optimistic in their outlook for their businesses in 2012. The Chilliwack Chamber’s recent membership survey conducted by University of the Fraser Valley Business students showed that our member’s main reason for joining the Chamber of Commerce was to belong to the Chamber of Commerce business community with the secondary reason being for the beneďŹ ts.

T-boned at the crossroads of mid-life Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
Comedian Ron James is back in the ‘Wack for a return engagement, this time at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on May 3.
“We survived the slaughter and are moving forward.” The Ron James Show held its own last season in the notoriously tough Friday night time slot. “We really found our groove this year, and the show became what I wanted it to be, and the satire was more consistent.” James knows what it takes to make various types of people break out laughing. He has starred in shows like Blackfly, Made In Canada and the Road Between my Ears. He won a Gemini Award as part of the writing team for This Hour Has 22 Minutes, and he’s headlined at Just for Laughs in Montreal. James has been honing his craft for more than 20 years, going from Second City, to LA and back to Canada to carve out his niche as one of its premier comedians.
smile of the week
“I’ve been threatening to start my book. “It took me 25 years to get a career, but now I think I need a nap,” he quips. He’s religious about exercise when he’s not on the road, and finds it easier to eat healthy while travelling than it used to be. “But life is about being in it for the long haul, eh? To catch lightening in a bottle. Yes, but not if you suck you won’t!” Comedy doesn’t suffer fools gladly, he says. That’s what is good about getting a lot of stage time. “It allows you to become comfortable in your own skin — or at least competent at your own craft. “But it’s also important to come to the work with a sense of humility.” He always conscious of the pacing, and works hard on the rhythms of the language and his monologues. “Comedy is a populous art form, so you have to reach the people at the gut level.

You have to respect the room. “I’ve got material for everyone from the plumber to the professor, who are sitting side by side, laughing at different parts of the same joke. “At the end of the day, everyone’s looking for a little happiness. “That’s my mandate for the show to make sure they leave with a spring in their step and a song in their hearts.” In the end buying a ticket to a show means the audience members are “invested in the hope” that he will elevate their day. He takes that very seriously. “In a world driven by hype, I want the audience to leave feeling they got their money’s worth. “That’s a comedian’s job, to connect the dots and lighten the load. “It’s like, I’ll carry the knapsack for a while.”
4-12H JM26
Comedian Ron James figures part of his job is to “carry the knapsack” for a while. He’s there to lighten the load for folks, if only fleetingly. The energetic funny-man brings his clever schtick for a return engagement to Chilliwack on May 3. He’ll be rolling out his brand-new show Ron James...Live! in the Chilliwack Cultural Centre for the first time, as he embarks on an 11-city tour of the West Coast. “I’m looking forward to taking the stage in your new Cultural Centre,” he says. “The dressing room in the old place smelled a little like trench foot, but the theatre posters from the 60s were quite amazing!” James has a deep appreciation for B.C. and he’s crisscrossed it several times, impressed by its sheer scale and beauty. “It’s your proximity to nature I think,” he tells The Progress in phone interview before he hits the road. “It’s all right there on your doorstep. “Plus B.C. is such a province of polarities. You’re either chained to a tree or you’re chopping it down, aren’t you?” The new show, delivered in his trademark staccato delivery, tackles new territory, like how it feels to be “t-boned at the crossroads of mid-life,” and the realization that everyone’s “at the mercy of impersonalized, corporate world.” “Everyone feels like that, don’t they? Spun by the government — or advertising — or The Man.” “All we’re trying to do is earn our three squares a day and maybe find a little happiness, something that will lift that Sisyphean lump of despair.” Toronto is home-base these days for the native East Coaster, but he travels all across Canada doing his live show when he’s not working on his successful CBC TV series, The Ron James Show. “We just found out recently that the show got picked up for a fourth season, which is fabulous,” he says. They’d been on pins and needles awaiting the news. He was forced to let go of the writing room staff. “It was like sitting on a powder keg.” “But in the end, the reaper’s blade never touched us,” he says referring to “Draconian” cuts made recently to the public broadcaster.

Nancy Spratt: Horsing around Nancy Spratt’s love affair with horses began as a little girl back in Cornwall, Ontario. Sitting on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, Cornwall is one of Canada’s oldest settlements and is steeped in rich and diverse history. It is a rather quaint community and Nancy clearly remembers those simpler days when milk was still delivered to the family home. “The milkman used a horse and cart to make his deliveries. The horse was wonderful. He wore a straw hat with holes for Ana his ears. I’ll never MACEDO forget it because we were allowed to feed him carrots. I have never forgotten that horse,� she laughed. Nancy grew up in a close knit family. She was the oldest of four children and to this day, family remains very important to her. “My parents have now passed away and my brother died in a motorcycle accident at the age of 22 but I am still very close to my two sisters,� she said. Her father was involved in the transportation industry during his entire career while her mother was a nurse. Although her mother did take some time off while the children were growing up, she returned to nursing once they got
www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309
older. Her father, meanwhile, was a dedicated, resourceful and accomplished man who was dedicated to his family and his work. For his dedication, the SeaBus Terminal in North Vancouver was designated the Charles A. Spratt SeaBus Terminal in his honour. “My father saw that project through from its conception to its launch. He was also the Marine Manager of the system until his retirement in 1988.� While growing up, Nancy’s interests and passions were mainly centered on two things; books and horses. “I learned to ride when I was nine and by the age of eleven, my parents had bought me my first horse. Even at a young age, owning a horse meant that I had to learn to be understanding and patient. Also, more than responsibility, I learned accountability. I had to be accountable because I couldn’t run away from the responsibility that I had for my horse. I had to take care of him,� she explained. By the time that she was in her twenties, Nancy’s focus shifted temporarily. She began living on the MV Meander, a boat that allowed her to explore every inch of BC’s coastline. “I did so much stuff on this boat from blockading cruise ships with Greenpeace to taking the American ambassador and his wife out for the day in the Queen Charlottes to taking the Vancouver Aquarium to Nootka
Sound on a collecting trip to commemorate Captain Cook’s arrival,� she enthused. Once back on terra firma, it was time to move on. Nancy worked at a veterinarian clinic for awhile but shortly after, was hired by the Liquor Distribution Branch. “I was one of the first three women in BC to be hired by the Branch. After fourteen years, I decided that rather than selling alcohol I would import it,� she chuckled. She took on a job with Pernod Ricard, a French multinational corporation and for ten years, she enjoyed the work immensely. “When the corporation began to restructure, I was told that I would have to move to Montreal and because I wanted to stay in Vancouver, I decided to parachute out,� she said. Although Nancy had been involved in the alcohol industry for twenty-four years, she resolved that it was time for a change. She set up her own company and began doing contract work instead. “I did communications work for Mountain Equipment Co-op as well as taking on other contracts. Eventually, she decided to move to Chilliwack and about a year and half ago she took on the position of Event Coordinator for the Chilliwack Fair, a position that she is well suited for. After all, she has a good understanding of the agricultural industry and she enjoys

Community In conversation with Nancy Spratt Giving the gift of better fitness late and rise early, although I don’t get a whole lot of sleep in between. There’s too much adrenalin; it’s high octane,� she laughed. When not dedicating herself to her job, which is all encompassing, she enjoys spending time with family and friends and her thirteen year old
SPRATT from p27 event management. Nancy is busily working on this year’s fair which takes place at Heritage Park August 10th through 12th. “It is certainly busy and there is always so much to do. Leading up to and during the fair, I go to bed
Quarter horse named Jordan. He’s a reining horse and can really work a cow. I truly enjoy reining because it’s a pure sport and it’s challenging. I’m also a tackoholic. I love to collect tack and I especially love Western tack. I think that it’s beautiful,� she smiled.
GIFT from p28 A few sessions with a personal trainer. A knowledgeable trainer will start mom in the right direction, and make her more accountable to staying on track with her fitness regime. No matter how big or small your budget is, this Mother’s Day, show your mom that you care about her by
giving her the gift of health, fitness and well-being. Your thoughtful gift may be all the motivation she needs to devote some of her time to take care of herself.

Perspectives
Empathy: Giving children the tools to feel for others not to “fix” the situation by telling children what to do. It’s about acknowledging children’s feelings and emotions without passing judgment, so that empathy can be demonstrated. But there might be
callousness sets in. In order to empathize with others, children must be able to read emotional cues such as facial expressions and body language from others. As their emotional vocabulary expands they are able to have more indepth discussions about emotions, and they can begin to grapple with increasingly complex moral decisions in which they must realize that someone else’s feelings may be different than their own. These discussions can come from a classroom situation, a current event, a shared reading of a book, a photograph, even a TV program that elicits an emotional response. It’s important to take advantage of every opportunity, presented or created. Adults can help children recognize and learn about emotions in everyday life situations. They can describe the feelings of others, interpret the body and facial cues, and pass that along that ‘code’ to children for reading emotions (because people who know how to watch, listen, and observe the actions and emotions of those around them are often the most successful in life). It’s also important for educators, coaches, parents, etc., to be conscious of all the emotions involved in a conversation and to try
times when it will be impossible for kids to learn or think about the feelings of others. Adults should not expect children to feel empathy for others when they are dealing with difficult feelings of their own. For
example, when children are angry, frustrated or sad they are processing their own feelings and will be better served if they have resolved those feelings before discussing empathy for others. Helping kids read
emotions and develop empathy is an ongoing process and can’t be taught in a few days or weeks. Children need lots of opportunities to learn about how others feel through experiences and through repetition.
And most importantly, modeling empathy is the best teaching tool. Eryn Wicker (M.A, R.C.C.) is a mental health clinician with the Child and Youth Mental Health Team for the Ministry of Children and Family Development, Chilliwack, B.C.

we’ve raised...
Organ donations rose 17 per cent in 2011 but BC Transplant is continuing to call for more people to register as donors. There were 70 deceased donors in 2011/12 – a new record for B.C. – and the 305 transplants performed last year helped 277 patients live healthier lives. “I registered to be an organ donor at age 16, without knowing that many years later, I would eventually need a transplant myself,” said kidney recipient Savilla Kress. “I consider myself lucky that my donor made a decision which saved my life.” The agency says there remains a chronic shortage of organs for transplant, with nearly 450 B.C. residents on wait lists, 100 more than a year ago.

Empathy: the ability to identify with, and understand another person’s feelings, situation, or motives. Humans are born with this capacity but it must be nurtured, learned, and experienced. As I wrote last time, empathy begins Eryn to grow during WICKER the preschool years. In fact, after that article, Kathy Antonio, Director of the A is for Apple Daycare Centres, wrote to share with me some of the innovative programs they offer that are aimed at teaching children emotional literacy, and thereby empathy. They currently offer two programs at their sites: Safe Spaces, which nurtures children’s self esteem and teaches them to care about others so they can learn to express their emotions without hurting each other; and Seeds of Empathy, designed to foster social and emotional competence and early literacy skills and attitudes in preschoolers. However, it is during the elementary years that empathy either takes root and becomes a way of life or emotional

When we mention dogwoods, most folks think of our provincial flower which comes from the native dogwood, ‘Cornus nuttallii’ or the beautiful pink ‘floridas’. Actually, the dogwood family is large and quite diverse. ‘Cornus’ is the Latin word for Brian shrub. Specific names are given MINTER according to individual characteristics, or some varieties are named after breeders. ‘Cornus sanguinea’, for example, was so named because its bark is red. Dogwoods have been known by such colourful common names as ‘Bloody Twig’, ‘Wild Cornel’, ‘Dogberry’, ‘Hound’s Tooth’ and ‘Gater Tree’. In the landscape, the dogwood family is very useful. ‘Cornus mas’ (Cornelian Cherry) is first to bloom. In February and March, it bursts into masses of clustered, small yellow blossoms. Native to southern Europe and Asia, it’s hardy in all parts of the province and grows to about 15 feet in height. It has small, shiny green leaves which turn a delightful yellow and red in the fall, and its autumn colours are enhanced by

clusters of bright, edible scarlet fruits which remain on the tree from September until the birds clean them off. One of the most popular shrub dogwoods is ‘Cornus alba’ (Tatarian Dogwood). Most varieties are hardy throughout the province. My favourite new bush dogwood, however, is ‘Cornus Mid Winter Fire’, with its chartreuse leaves and yellow and red coloured bark that lights up any winter garden. Surprisingly, both of these varieties perform equally well in shade or sun, and they are invaluable as contrast plants. In

winter, the stems of both varieties are attractive, especially against a snowy background. They grow to about eight feet in height but an occasional pruning will keep them low and attractive. ‘Cornus canadensis’ is really a deciduous perennial ground cover. It displays native dogwood-like flowers in May and June atop six to nine inch leafy stems. In native settings, it can be found under trees and by lakes and streams. Well rotted old logs and areas of decaying bark seem to be some of their Continued: MINTER/ p34

-24°F. Growing 20 feet high, it blooms in June and July with delightful flowers which turn into huge red raspberrylike hips in the fall. Its autumn colouring is a knockout, and the other big bonus is its disease resistance. Today, there are many varieties of ‘kousa’ that truly are magnificent. The pink form, ‘Satomi, is particularly beautiful, both for its flowers and its variegated foliage. ‘Venus’ is a new one that has blooms up to six inches across. ‘Eddie’s White Wonder’ has also been quite remarkable. Chosen as Vancouver’s centennial tree, it has four to five inch flowers at the ends of slightly pendulous branches - it’s a winner! Hardy and easy to transplant, it seems to be quite resistant to diseases affecting both the ‘nuttallii’ and ‘florida’ varieties. Dogwoods are very classy, so while they are in bloom take special note of the many varieties and perhaps find a home for at least one of them in your landscape.

stat line contained an awful lot of zeroes – 20 games, and not a single goal or assist to show for it. He finally broke through on Feb. 18 against the Houston Aeros, tipping in a shot by teammate Guillaume Desbiens for his first goal as a professional. From that point on, he was a steady point producer while playing predominantly on the third line. In 17 games before his latest injury, he had six goals and two assists. “It was a great feeling,” Howse said “Things finally turned around, and it’s almost like I was being rewarded for the things that happened before.” According to Ward, that’s exactly what transpired. “It’s gone exactly how I’d hoped it would go on paper,” he said, reflecting on Howse’s enforced sabbatical back in the fall. “He deserves 100 per cent of the credit. “The biggest difference for me visually is, he smiles,” Ward added. “And that means things are happening internally where he’s excited to be here. A lot of times in life, you’re pretty confident good things are going to happen if you’ve earned them.” Howse said his improved production was no coincidence and had everything to do with increased fitness. “Watching clips from earlier in the year, I’m just seeing how much quicker I am,” he said. “I’m a step ahead of where I was back then.” Once he gets back into the lineup, Howse hopes to pick up right where he left off, and reclaim his status as one of the Calgary Flames top prospects.
Before getting injured, Ryan Howse (right) was scoring goals and smiling a lot more with the Abbotsford Heat. AMY WILLIAMS PHOTOGRAPHY
Chiefs blueliner teams up with Tigers Chilliwack Chiefs defenceman Alexandre Perron-Fontaine has accepted a scholarship to the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) for the 201314 season. In his first BCHL season, Perron Fontaine recorded three goals and 17 assists, adding mobility and puck movement to
Chilliwack’s blueline. The Quebec native is the eighth Chief to net a post-secondary scholarship, joining an NCAA program that has drawn heavily on BCHL talent. The Tigers had nine exBCHLers on their roster in the just-completed season and current BCHLers Josh Mitchell,
Rajan Sidhu and Daniel Schuler are also committed to RIT. The Tigers play in the Atlantic Hockey Association of NCAA Division I. RIT went 14-7-6 this season to finish fifth in the 12 team AHA. The Tigers advanced to the final of the AHA tournament before losing 4-0 to Air Force.
Chilliwack forward moving to Massachusetts Chilliwack Chiefs forward Kit Sitterley has accepted an offer to play for the University of Massachusetts-Boston Beacons in the coming season. A native of Mooresville, North Carolina, Sitterley has played the last two seasons for the Chiefs under coach Harvey Smyl in Langley and Chilliwack.
The 5-foot-11, 175-pounder tallied 23 goals and 26 assists in his BCHL career. The Beacons play in the NCAA Division III Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference. This past season, the team went 13-10-3 before bowing out in the ECAC East quarter-finals. Former BCHLers Faiz Khan and Corey Chakeen currently play for the Beacons.
The Junior Cascades will be holding an elementary basketball camp for boys in Grades 5-7 over two days at Sardis secondary school.

Pain free in 2 weeks!
PUBLIC NOTICE WATER MAIN FLUSHING
This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients. This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the American food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let activists confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works.

Here are some examples: Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my #1 knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister.

Heartburn Reflux
Flushing Schedule March 2012 - July 2012
By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.
The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box.

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance.

The benefits of testing Fitness testing is a great indicator to see how the players have prepared for the upcoming season, writes Paul Nicolls The Chilliwack Chiefs are done for the season, but the off-season is no time to rest for the junior A players. In his second bi-weekly column, Chiefs assistant coach and Xceed Training owner/ operator Paul Nicolls talks about why teams put their players through batteries of tests at the start of a new season.

Fitness tests allow coaches to identify the physical strengths and weaknesses in their athletes, and act as a benchmark upon which a suitable training program can be developed. For that reason, just about all sports teams begin their pre-season training camps with some sort of fitness testing. Where the Chilliwack Chiefs are concerned, we have expectations about what a player does during the off-season, and fitness testing is a great indicator for us to see how well the players have prepared themselves for the upcoming season. We are looking for players who have dedicated themselves to off-season workouts, and the initial fitness assessment we do at training camp will allow us to put together a fitness plan for the upcoming season that will help improve their fitness levels further. While talent evaluation goes well beyond fitness, results of testing can also be a useful tool when determining the athletic ability of a player and his commitment to training. Players can use the results to assist in setting goals, and use the results as motivation whenever they work out. Here are a few of the tests we use.
Sports Spring Tour tees off The first leg of the Zone 3 Junior Spring Golf Tour was held last Sunday at Swan-E-set (Pitt Meadows). Defending Canadian junior boys champion Kevin Kwon shot an impressive eight-underpar 64 to win the tournament on his home course. Kwon’s margin of victory was five strokes over three golfers who tied for second place. Connor O’Dell (Pitt Meadows Golf Club), Henry Lee (Swan-Eset) and Cody Stewart (Ledgeview Golf Course) all carded 69s. Among Chilliwack golfers, Steven Scurr (Chilliwack Golf and Country Club) and Jake Scarrow (Sandpiper Golf Resort) both shot
75s. They finished 12th and 13th respectively, with Connor McLellan (CG&CC) one shot back at 76. Kaleb Fisher (CG&CC) placed 35th. Bradley Lagematt (CG&CC) placed 48th. Cultus Lake’s Nathen Bahnman placed 52nd and Mitchel Thiessen (CG&CC) placed 53rd. There where 65 golfers representing 15 golf clubs, the largest field in recent memory. The next round will be played at Sandpiper on Sunday. Chilliwack’s Royalwood Golf and RV Resort hosts round five May 20. Get more information online at bcgazone3. org/men/jrspringtour. html
UFV adds talented guard The University of the Fraser Valley men’s basketball team has added a fourth player to the 2012 recruiting class, inking Tamanawis high school grad Manny Dulay. The Surrey native averaged 18 points, six rebounds, nine assists and three steals per game in his senior season. The six-foot-three point guard was one of five recipients of a $2,000 scholarship at the 2012 BC provincial basketball championships.
Handgrip Strength Test (topendsports.com/ testing/tests/handgrip.htm) Using a handgrip dynamometer, this test measures the maximum isometric strength of the hand and forearm muscles. Passing and shooting rely heavily on this strength. Plus, people with strong hands and forearms often tend to be strong in general.
Good Sport of the week!
Bench Press Beep Test (topendsports.com/ testing/tests/bench-press-beep.htm) When a Chiefs defenceman has to handle a big forward along the boards, upper body strength is essential. This test measures it as athletes perform as many repetitions as possible at a set weight (135 pounds) and cadence (metronome rate of 25 per minute). The National Hockey League uses this test at their pre-draft combine. Curl Up Beep Test (topendsports.com/testing/tests/curl-up-beep.htm This one tests core muscle strength and endurance as players do sit-ups at a rate of 25 per minute. Core strength affects almost everything a hockey player does, but most importantly skating. Push-Up Beep Test (topendsports.com/testing/tests/pushup-beep.htm) This test measures chest muscle strength and endurance as players do a maximum of 25 push-ups per minute. Standing Long Jump Test (topendsports. com/testing/tests/longjump.htm) A test of leg power with obvious correlations to hockey (skating), players stand at a take-off line and jump, using arm swing and a knee bend to gain forward momentum. The National Football League uses this test at their annual combine in Indianapolis. Whatever level you perform at, please do not overlook the importance and necessity of fitness testing. If you take the time to plan your training, take one afternoon (or morning) to complete a battery of fitness tests and use them as a tool for goal-setting and motivation.

Successful start for tournament The Stó:lô Ice Hawks finished second overall at their own first annual Stó:lô Ice Hawks All-Native Hockey Tournament last weekend. Six teams hit the ice at Prospera Centre and the Ice Hawks went 3-2. Brandon Ned had the overtime winner in their first game, a 3-2 win over Chase. The Ice Hawks were dumped 6-0 by Prince George in game two, but rebounded to demolish Warriors in Flight 9-0 in their playoff opener.

Stó:lô exacted revenge with a 2-0 semifinal win over Prince George, with Otis Jasper and Dave Jimmie scoring the goals. But Alkali knocked them off in the tournament final, skating away with a 5-2 win. Tyler Simpson scored both Stó:lô goals. Chase finished third overall. Soowahlie Chief Otis Jasper was impressed with the calibre of hockey and the large group of supporters accompanying visiting teams to
Chilliwack. He believes this year’s tournament will be the perfect springboard to future success. “We definitely put ourselves on the All-Native tournament map,” he noted. “The visiting teams had a great experience in Chilliwack and word-of-mouth about the tournament and city will assure that next year’s tournament will expand with a 35+ category and a women’s category.” Get info at stoloicehawks.com

Elsie M. Dargatz who passed away April 27, 2009 bcclassified.com Thoughts of you still brighten our day!
He is gone but not forgotten. And, as dawns another year, In our lonely hours of thinking, Thoughts of him are always near. Days of sadness will come over us, Many think the wound is healed, But they little know the sorrow, Than lies in the heart concealed.

✞ Obituaries April 12, 2012 Norma passed away at the age of 81 years on April 12, 2012 in Vernon, BC after battling with a lengthy illness. She is survived by husband Oscar of 57 years and 5 children; Lauree (Stewart) Hill, Neil (Rebecca), Marilee (Wally) Gallinger, Bruce (Jeannie) and Derek , as well as 11 grandchildren. Norma taught many years in the Chilliwack School District and had fond memories of those days. She loved to keep busy by doing various crafts and when not doing that she was often found watching the many ball games down at the park. She loved to go dancing at the Legion with Oscar and always rose to the challenge for that homemade costume for Halloween. Mom, we miss you but know that you are never far from our hearts. We love you. There is no service by request. Donations in Norma’s name may be made to a charity of your choice.

It has come to our attention that over the past several months an individual has been accepting and soliciting donations of furniture on behalf of The Ann Davis Transition Society. These donations are then being sold by that individual for his own profit. The RCMP have been notified of this practice. The Society, and the families we serve, greatly appreciate the community’s support and we regret that donations have been misused in this way.
