Paramount group hopes to offer vintage film house experience Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Friends of the Chilliwack Paramount have a new name and a bold new direction. The Chilliwack Paramount Film Society was incorporated on May 7, by a group of community members who believe the historic Paramount building should be saved from demolition, said spokesperson Laura Reid. The move to incorporate was partly to cement their credibility and commitment, and to better reflect their desire to offer a “viable and sustainable historic cinema setting,” to show films, said Reid. A business plan set to be unveiled at a community meeting Monday night included the idea to transform the old Paramount
building into a refurbished repertory-type theatre, offering 600 seats for patrons to screen vintage, independent, alternative or nonmainstream films. “A chance to see vintage films is something that we feel is missing in Chilliwack,” said Reid. The first-run film market is wellserved in the area, but not so much the type of niche films they’re considering with the proposal. “But we’re not trying to compete with existing venues in any way,” she said. The group’s research shows that some film festivals fans, for example, will travel a fair bit for the experience, meaning the potential is there to attract crowds from across the Lower Mainland, and not just Chilliwack.

New Chilliwack UFV campus is ‘only the beginning’ Robert Freeman The Progress The new $45-million UFV campus opening in Chilliwack’s Canada Education Park is just the beginning, officials said at a ribbon-cutting ceremony Friday. “There’s so many more possibilities for the future,” an elated Chilliwack MLA John Les said after the event attended by provincial, municipal and UFV officials. “Some of the things that we will be able to do here — I haven’t got them all imagined yet,” he said. “But there’s room here for lots of imagination to take hold and really build something excellent for Chilliwack.”
UFV President Mark Evered praised Les and former UFV President Skip Basford for having the vision 10 years ago to form the city/university partnership that led to the new campus and UFV’s $21-million Trades and Technical Centre, also located at the Canada Education Park. The RCMP Pacific Region Training Centre, Canada Border Services training centre and the BC Justice Institute also make their home at the education park. UFV’s 30-year plan for the campus involves construction of a dozen more buildings forming a quadrangle with classroom space for about 7,000 FTE students. But that’s just half the 85 acres
that UFV owns at the park. “We’re not done yet,” a jubilant Evered told the crowd. “There’s one million square feet to build.” Les recalled an otherwise “bucolic” day in 1997 when he learned as Chilliwack mayor that CFB Chilliwack – a major driver of the local economy – was going to be closed by the federal government. “That was indeed a shock,” he said. The city “flirted” with a number of ideas to replace the loss of jobs and tax revenues, but Les said some kind of educational development was on his mind from the get-go. Continued: UFV/ p11

FHA makes up with Fraser Valley regional hospital directors Robert Freeman The Progress A $1.2 million funding request by the Fraser Health Authority appears back on track after meetings with the Fraser Valley Regional Hospital District. “There’s now vastly improved communications,” John Smith, the hospital district’s vice chairman, said Monday. “They certainly got the message, and I have no doubt they will be providing us with all the answers we need.” Smith had earlier accused the FHA of treating the hospital district
as a “cash cow” a treatment that seemed to reach a breaking point in February when a $1.2 million funding request arrived at the FVRHD board. But hospital board director voted to table the request until FHA president Nigel Murray agreed to meet with the board to discuss the “serious communication breakdown.” Murray and FHA financial systems director Brenda Ligett met behind closed doors with FVRHD directors at the April 24 board meeting. Hospital board chairman Chuck Stam later told The Progress he rec-
ognized when he became chairman in December that the two organizations had not been communicating their “vision” of the relationship. Stam said after meeting with FVRHD staff it was decided that “we’re not doing anything until we get these two visions on track.” The hospital district contributes a share of the capital costs of equipment and facilities needed by hospitals in the Fraser Valley region, such as the $35 million cost of expanding the emergency room at Chilliwack General Hospital. But it appears the FHA has not been treating the hospital district
as a full partner in delivering health services in the Fraser Valley. “We needed meaningful input into their decisions before the fact,” Smith said. “We needed to be heard and treated as a partner.” He said the relationship had been deteriorating for a number of years and “was on rocky ground, through no fault of ours.” But after several meetings with Murray, Smith praised the chairman’s “we’re-going-to-fix-it” attitude. “He demonstrated good faith, and seems to genuinely and sincerely want to address the serious communication breakdown,” Smith said.
■ R UNNING F OR M OM
The hospital board will vote on the $1.2 million funding request at a later meeting. The request is 40 per cent of the FHA’s total $2.9 million in capital costs for the region. Those needs include an estimated $1.3 million to remedy “extensive envelope failures” that have “compromised the safety of the workplace environment” at Parkholm Lodge where a new $2.7-million, 20-bed mental health unit was opened by provincial and FHA officials last October.

Higher density in revised hillside plan Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A revised Eastern Hillsides Area Plan is on the agenda for Tuesday’s council meeting with higher and more “realistic” densities for hillside development. The plan originally presented to council in November 2011 came with a proposed build-out
of about 1700 homes and 4000 people. The newly revised land-use scenario calls for an outright build out of 2800 homes or 6400 people on the Eastern Hillsides, which is still considered low density development. The recommendation for the draft hillsides plan to be referred to outside agencies will be voted on at the Tuesday
council meeting. That’s the first step before the OCP amendment comes before council for introduction and first reading on June 5. “We are confident the revised Plan addresses infrastructure, parkland, trails and a realistic amount of development for the Eastern Hillsides,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “It contains everything needed to ensure a

Nearly 600 people took part in this year’s Run For Mom and more than $31,000 was raised for medical equipment for the maternity ward at Chilliwack General Hospital on Sunday. The Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation’s annual Mother’s Day fundraiser featured a 5km and 8km race — leaving from the UFV Trades and Technology Centre and looping around via the Vedder Rotary Trail — as well as a 1km fun run for children. For more photos, go online to theprogress.com.
Former fisheries minister Tom Siddon is openly criticizing the Tory government’s “gutting” of the federal Fisheries Act by removing fish habitat protection measures. And Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl may have jumped from the frying pan into the fire when he held a one-sided “roundtable” last month that brought local mayors with a beef about fisheries regulations together with the parliamentary secretary to the fisheries minister. Chris Gadsden, a fisheries activist in Chilliwack, said he “applauded” Strahl for holding the roundtable meeting, but “he should also be sitting around this same table with environmental groups as well as First Nations to hear their concerns.” “With all the talk lately about the proposed changes ... by not meeting with these groups it continues to raise concerns about the lack of transparency by government these days, both provincially and federally.” Gadsden said one of the main reasons the BC Liberals lost the Chilliwack-Hope byelection “is losing touch with the voting public.” “If Mr. Strahl, along with his fellow MPs visit the Fraser Valley again, he should consider meeting with those that sent him to Ottawa, to represent all of us.” But Strahl defended the meeting, saying the roundtable was an “opportunity” for elected officials to share their concerns about fisheries regulations with Pitt Meadows-Maple Ridge-Mission MP Randy Kamp, parliamentary secretary to the fisheries minister, and with Calgary Centre MP Michelle Rempel, parliamentary secretary to the environment minister. “I didn’t pretend it was a debate on the issues or it was a townhall meeting,” Strahl told The Progress. He also said the government is not removing protection for fisheries habitat, but looking for a “common-sense” approach to preserving the environment and protecting species at risk. “I wanted my (MP) colleagues to hear firsthand how the current heavy-handed approach of the bureaucracy is affecting my constituents,” Strahl said.

Low sockeye run may mean aboriginal-only catch
Maybe it’s time for a simpler lifestyle.
Jeff Nagel Black Press Commercial fishermen shouldn’t count on putting a net in the Fraser River this summer.
Pre-season estimates of this year’s sockeye salmon run suggest it’s unlikely enough fish will return to the Fraser for fishery managers to approve a commercial catch.
Pacific Salmon Commission chief biologist Mike Lapointe said 1.2 million to 3.8 million sockeye are forecast to return. That’s down from a run of five million last

He admitted salmon run forecasts have been notoriously inaccurate in recent years, but said the small number of salmon that spawned in 2008 dictates that this year’s return will not be large. “The expectation is very low,” he said. A run of 2.1 million sockeye – the mid-point of the forecast for this year – would leave only one million harvestable sockeye after spawning requirements. And Lapointe said that would be entirely allocated to First Nations,

The forecast estimates there’s a 10 per cent chance the run could exceed 3.8 million, and the same probability that it could be less than 1.2 million. Most sockeye are expected to come in early-timed runs. With a near-record snowpack still to melt in the Interior, Lapointe said there’s concern that returning sockeye will struggle to get upstream against a strong freshet in the Fraser and its tributaries. A dismal 2009 return, far below forecast, led the federal government to appoint the Cohen Commission to look into a long-term decline in Fraser sockeye.

News Farmers accused of ‘industrializing the landscape’ FARMERS from p3 Farmers have been pushing for changes to the act for years, saying it doesn’t recognize the difference between fish-bearing streams and drainage ditches that need to be periodically cleared. Under the proposed changes, government would no longer protect all waterways that “may” contain fish. Strahl said the aim is to focus the government’s limited environmental protection resources “on those areas that are the highest concern.” Marvin Rosenau, a vocal

fisheries critic, said he wasn’t surprised by Strahl’s one-sided roundtable meeting. “Mark Strahl is leading the charge of eco-fascists intent on making the last dime off the backs of the last remnants of an absolutely spectacular eco-system,” he charged. Rosenau, a former provincial biologist and now a fisheries instructor at BCIT, said an “extremely good” inventory has been collected on the ditches that farmers claim hold no fishery value. “We know what goes on in those so-called non fish habitat ditches,” he said.
“Essentially, what these farmers are doing is industrializing the landscape.” He said some of the “engineered” ditches “are simply coho streams re-arranged for irrigation.” “A massive and productive floodplain of fish and aquatic values ... has been drained, ditched, tiled and laser-levelled for agricultural profit,” he said. “All we’ve got left is a tiny fraction of the vast schools of coho that once thrived in the floodplains of the Fraser River,” he said.

Siddon told reporters earlier this month that he is “appalled” by the Conservative government’s attempt to “gut the fisheries act under the radar” in Omnibus Bill C-38 that includes proposed changes to the National Pipeline Act, the Environmental Assessment Act and the Canada Oil and Gas Exploration Act. A former Conservative MP, Siddon charged the Tory government is clearing the way for major economic projects by speeding up approval processes contained in the legislation. rfreeman@theprogress.com

It doesn’t seem that long ago that UFV’s Craig Toews sat in an abandoned office of the old engineering building at the former CFB Chilliwack and told The Progress about the university’s vision for the property and its place within Canada Education Park. With maps unfurled, Toews, UFV’s director of campus planning, described how the surplus military building would be transformed into a warm and inviting centre for learning. Rusting metal would be replaced with wood, windows would capture the beauty of the landscape outside. Two years later, that vision is coming true. Or at least starting to. Last week, university officials opened the new facility, preparing the way for classes to begin there in September. It is a spectacular building, one that bears little resemblance to the utilitarian structure it morphed out of. Instead of facing inward, the building is oriented to the south, taking advantage of the Vedder River at its doorstep. Soaring windows not only capture light, they frame one of the most beautiful places on earth. But the building is more than good looks. Come this fall, the campus – which includes the new Trades and Technology building – will be the educational home to roughly 3,000 students. It will continue to provide post secondary opportunities in this part of the Fraser Valley, as well as jobs for years to come. But the new building is just the start. It occupies only a portion of the 86 acres that the university holds at Canada Eduction Park. UFV has plans for the rest, as the maps Toews stretched out in that empty office two years ago show. Fulfilling those plans won’t happen over night. But the property offers the university an advantage few institutions can claim: “Room to grow.” And for Chilliwack, that means something simple: promise for the future. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

The best (and worst) places to be a mother Thousands of moms had some kick-back time with families this past Mother’s Day sharing memories, enjoying a meal, or maybe a day out. But many more didn’t and millions around the world have never heard of Mother’s Day. In commemoration of that special day and for all mothers everywhere, the Save the Children organization published its thirteenth annual State of the World’s Mothers 2012 report, a profile of how developed, developing and third world countries fair in relation to the needs of mothers and their children. Save the Children is the leading independent organization dedicated to saving and bettering the lives of children. But some of the stats in their report are sobering. “Malnutrition is an underlying cause of death for 2.6 million

children each year,” the report’s authors wrote. “And it leaves millions more with lifelong physical and mental impairments.” They said that, worldwide, much of a child’s future, and therefore much of a nation’s future, is determined by the quality of nutrition in a child’s first 1,000 days. More than 170 million children do not Margaret have the opporEVANS tunity to reach their full potential because poor nutrition has held them back. The time from the beginning of a mother’s pregnancy through to the child’s second birthday is a critical window when a child’s brain and body are rapidly developing and quality nutrition
lays the foundation not only for that formative growth but for the future life of the child. Their key findings show that out of 73 developing countries, which collectively account for 95 per cent of child deaths, only four – Malawi, Madagascar, Peru and the Solomon Islands - scored ‘very good’. Stunted growth and development is widespread. They found that economic growth does not necessarily translate into juvenile well-being. India, for example, has a per capita GDP of $1,500 yet 48 per cent of its children are stunted compared with Vietnam where the per capita GDP is $1,200 while their child stunting rate is 23 per cent. As for breastfeeding, considered by the World Health Organization to be the best form of infant feeding in the first six months of life anywhere in the world, the stats were surprising,
if not embarrassing for some, including Canada. On their Breastfeeding Policy Scorecard for Developed Countries, Norway ranked the highest with a 9.8 score while Canada was way down the list at 31st with a fair score of 5.4 and the U.S. ranked last with a poor score of a mere 4.2. The ranking wasn’t just whether or not mothers chose to breastfeed their babies but whether there were adequate and supportive government policies in place for maternity leave, parental leave (for mothers and fathers) and, when new mothers returned to work, the right to nursing breaks. As for the overall Mothers’ Index Rankings (i.e., the best places to be a mother), the top ten countries in the developed world were, in order, Norway, Iceland, Sweden, New Zealand, Denmark,

The worst place to be a mother in the world was Niger. In total, 173 countries were ranked and the disparities between the top and bottom countries were staggering at every stage of mother and child care. But they underline the fact that, in the bigger picture, statistics go far beyond numbers. “The human despair and lost opportunities represented in these numbers demand mothers everywhere be given the basic tools they need to break the cycle of poverty and improve the quality of life for themselves, their children, and for generations to come.” The report can be seen at www. savethechildren.org.

Cameras would slow down traffic It is becoming almost impossible to drive in Chilliwack now while obeying posted speed limits. The majority of drivers have proved that they do not respect speed limits and have no intention of doing so. If they cannot be trusted to obey existing limits and tailgate those of us who do, then there is no other way but to do it for them. I propose that Chilliwack and other municipalities adopt the systems already in place on the M25 Motorway in England
and the Toll roads in France. For example, when driving on Evans Road, a camera takes a picture of your car licence plate recording the time. Further down Evans, another camera records you leaving the area. If you exceed the posted limit, then you will have arrived at the second camera too soon, and a speeding ticket will be mailed to the owner of the vehicle. I propose three of these tickets will give you a five-year suspension and two more a 10-year suspension.
“I love that I can combine my commute with my exercise for the day while I shrink my carbon footprint. I save money on gas and vehicle maintenance too!”
It’s as simple as that. When driving down Evans from the Knight Road T-intersection south to the tracks at 50 KPH, it only takes two minutes. Why speed to save a few seconds and inconvenience everybody else, and break the law? It is not worth it. They say the camera does not lie. Let’s install a few around town as they will surely pay for themselves in no time flat.

The Paramount: Why bother saving it? even more so with old buildings. Cultural heritage buildings are in a community’s care. They are inherited from past generations who built them well and used them for entertainment and socializing. If they are significant enough in our collective psyche they are maintained in the present with the idea of bestowing them for the benefit and pleasure of future generations. They have much to tell us about our past, our social customs, the tastes of the period, the unique architecture and in the case of the
Paramount, the movies and all the latest technology available at the time to show them. When you demolish a community’s history you are severing the connection we all need for the past – whether we ever stepped through those doors we can still appreciate that link to past lives. We savour the sense that people walked this street, loved this house, enjoyed this theatre. By throwing away this building and the historical artifacts that lie within you are saying that nothing of this building’s cultural heritage is important or

significant to the community’s history. Instead a sign can say, “Here once stood…” No one ever says, I used to have my grandfather’s watch but I threw it away because it didn’t work. I tore up my mother’s photo because it took up room on my desk. I needed more space on the wall for another picture so I got rid of my two-year old’s scribble. Deeper connections require careful actions. That is why you bother saving The Paramount.

Most people have mementos from their family’s past: an old watch worn by their great grandfather, a photo of their youthful mother, a love letter, a child’s drawing. These are treasures that are personal and are a connection to the past and a legacy to future generations. You would never consider throwing them away or tearing them up.

O’Mahony snubbed at ribbon cutting: Harrington I attended the recent ceremony marking the official opening of the University of the Fraser Valley’s main new campus just off Keith Wilson Rd. As expected, the ceremony included speeches from many people including Board Chairs, Presidents of UFV and local politicians. As a person who spent many years on city and regional councils in Ontario and as a person who has attended similar ceremonies on many occasions, I know something of the protocol involving who is chosen to make a speech at such an event. It is of course normal to include your setting federal MP, which was done in this case. It is then normal to include the mayor or the mayor’s representative, which was
done in this case. It is then expected that you will hear from the sitting MLA who represents the area where the University is located, which was not done in this case. The sitting MLA, Gwen O’Mahony was not asked to speak. Why not? She was recognized, but was not included in the speakers’ assembly. An MLA representing the adjacent riding was on the speakers’ list. In over one and a half hours of speeches, O’Mahony was not to be heard from. This despite the fact that the campus of the new UFV is smack dead centred in the middle of Gwen’s riding. Again, I askwhy? Gwen, herself is too decent of a person to complain; but, I cannot let this insult pass. In the total one and a half hours
of speeches, not one local woman was amongst the speakers. The MLA from North Vancouver, a woman, also spoke. I afterwards complained to one of the organizers and was not given any sort of a reason for this oversight. Could it be that many of the speakers are prominent BC Liberals? Could it be that this “old-boys” network simply wanted to exclude any more women? Undoubtedly, it may be a combination of both of these reasons. The organizers of this event owe Gwen O’Mahony an apology and this apology should be issued through local media outlets. I hope that this planned exclusion of our new MLA in Chilliwack/Hope is not the start of a new ill-conceived trend. Dick Harrington

“These failures are due to systemic leaking problems and the existence of mold,” Ligett said in a letter to the FVRHD board. The funding request also includes an estimated $110,000 to replace an “obsolete and outdated” call system that connects patients to nurses at Chilliwack General Hospital. The existing system is 18 years old and replacement parts are no longer available, Ligett said in the letter. The list of equipment needs also included a request for $350,000 to complete the third phase of electrical system upgrades at Mission Memorial Hospital, and a total $866,350 for equipment projects under $100,000.

UFV’s ‘new era’ in Chilliwack UFV from Front At one point, Les called B.C. Premier Mike Harcourt who was then looking for a site to build a new technical university. “I phoned him up and I said, ‘Mike, I have a campus for you.’ But that obviously went nowhere.’” When the BC Liberals replaced the NDP at the government helm, Les said the advanced education minister offered $10 million for expansion of UFV’s existing campus on Yale Road. Les said he and Basford then did something “quite idiotic, politically.” “We told Shirley Bond to keep her $10 million ... because there were better ways to utilize that money.” And that was the start of negotiations to build the Canada Education Park, with UFV as the city’s partner and largest landholder. “We could easily have taken the $10 million and built another building at the existing campus,” Les said. “But we wouldn’t even have come close to what we have here today.” “The lesson I take away from this is, try a little harder, reach a little higher and you come up with something that is so much better.” UFV Chancellor Brian Minter, recalling UFV’s growth from a small community college to a degree-granting university, predicted the new campus and its programs will change the lives of many students, both young and old. “To have that resource in our community is invaluable,” he said. The 150,000 squarefoot building, with its light and open townhall design, offers a variety of programs, although mainly it will be the home of a new Health Sciences faculty that includes nursing, dental, kinesiology and physical education programs. In addition to standard arts and science programs, UFV’s agriculture program is also slated to move into a separate renovated building at the new campus later this summer. Theatre courses will be offered in several

locations, but the performance theatre remains at the Yale Road campus for the near future. UFV student union president Carlos Vidal said the new campus marks “a new era of post secondary education” that will give Fraser Valley students “a solid jump-start to chosen careers and futures.” The commitment made by the community to education, he said,
“shows UFV students that we are important to you.” The B.C. government provided $7.5 million to buy the property, $600,000 for an “aboriginal gathering place” at the new campus, $10 million for the new campus project, and $21-million to renovate a former military warehouse for the Trades and Technology Centre.

ment provided UFV with $7 million for infrastructure improvements, and the remainder of the new campus cost was funded through UFV’s capital plan, which includes the proceeds from the yet-to-be-sold Yale Road campus. Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl, B.C. Advanced Education Minister Naomi Yamamoto, CEPCO President John Jansen, and City Councillor Stewart McLean also took part in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Gwen O’Mahony, recently elected MLA in Chilliwack-Hope, the riding in which the new campus is located, confirmed she was invited to the event. But she declined comment on the fact that she was not included in the list of speakers or those invited to cut the ribbon. “I don’t want to cast a cloud on a great event,” she said.

Ride to Live gets ready to hit the road Katie Bartel The Progress Dale Erikson believes a simple blood test – just a quick prick of the arm – saved his life. The Chilliwack resident had no family history or any other risk factors pertaining to prostate cancer, and yet at 61, a prostate-specific antigen test (PSA) showed protein irregularities in his prostate gland. Erikson, who had been getting the blood test for 11 years, said his protein levels doubled in two years. “It was enough of a warning sign to get a biopsy,” he said. The biopsy came back positive for cancer. Erikson was lucky. It was early stage cancer. He had surgery – one of three options available to him – and “four weeks later, I was swinging a golf club,” he said, now six years in remission. Some men, however, are not so lucky. In Canada, it’s estimated over one million men have prostate cancer, and approximately one in six men will be diagnosed with the disease in their lifetime, making it the second leading cause of cancer death in Canadian men. While it’s believed approximately 90 per cent of cases can be cured with early detection, prostate cancer awareness is still lacking, and men are still shying away from getting pre-screened. “Men don’t want to talk about it,” said Erikson, who started a Chilliwack support group last year for others who have either survived the disease or are going through it. “The ‘C’ word is a very devastating word.” The second annual Chilliwack Westcoast Motorcycle Ride to Live is working to change that. On May 27, motorcyclists from all over the Fraser Valley will be hitting the roads in support of prostate cancer. “We wanted to do something to fight this disease and get the word out for guys to get checked out,” said event spokesperson Roy Hafeli, who lost his father to prostate cancer seven years ago.
From left, John Sowik, Roy Hafeli and Dale Erikson are taking part in the Westcoast Motorcycle Ride to Live. The event, now in its second year, is a major fund-raiser to help fight prostate cancer. For more information go to www.ridetolive.ca. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
The poker-run ride will travel through Chilliwack, Rosedale, Agassiz, Mission, Langley and Cloverdale, ending at the Fraser Downs Racetrack where a vintage car show will ensue. Throughout the ride, motorcyclists will be sporting a white prostate cancer flag, and all proceeds raised will go to prostate cancer research and supports for men diagnosed with the disease. “We found that this was an area that was lacking in support,” said Hafeli. And yet, “there are some amazing doctors and researchers in the
Vancouver area doing cutting edge stuff for prostate cancer.” It starts with awareness. While there is no single cause of prostate cancer, there are factors that increase the risk of developing it, including age, African or Caribbean descent, and family history. But men without any of those factors can still develop the cancer. “In my case, I had no abnormalities, there were no indications whatsoever,” said Erikson. “If I never had the PSA test, I wouldn’t have known – and
that’s the scary thing.” Prostate Cancer Canada recommends men start getting the PSA test at 40. While the threat of prostate cancer is minimal at this age, the test will establish a baseline enabling doctors to spot any irregularities or trends. PSA tests are not covered by the Medical Services Plan, but men like Erikson and the organizers of the Westcoast Ride to Live, hope to one day change that. They want PSAs covered just like mammograms are for women. The Westcoast Ride to Live is
on May 27. Registration is $25 online at www.ridetolive.ca. Pre registration can also be done on May 26 at Mountainview Harley, or starting at 7 a.m. at Walmart, before the ride. The ride starts at 9 a.m. The first leg of the ride will be escorted by RCMP. Two motorcycles will be raffled off. Tickets are $20 and only 2,500 will be sold. Organizers hope to raise $200,000.

Earls restaurant in Chilliwack joined with STAR FM last month to take on Manhattan for the 9th annual Martini Mingle. This sold out event raised $15,000, benefiting the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation’s Campaign for Health Care Excellence, in support of Chilliwack General Hospital. Stylishly clad guests enjoyed New York-themed appetizers, Manhattan-styled mingling, a fashion show, photo booth, silent and live auctions and one lucky attendee walked away with the grand prize -- a New York trip for two to the heart of Manhattan, including four nights’ hotel, airfare and a “Sex and the City Tour”, all compliments of Roblin Travel and Cruise. And, of course, what would the Martini Mingle be without martinis? Guests sampled and voted on the top five shaken and stirred recipes from this year’s contest. The winner, Lauri Yolkowski, received a $200 Earls Chilliwack gift certificate and her winning entry, Glamour Girl Cosmo, will be featured on the Earls Chilliwack menu for a year. “We are pleased to do our part to support the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation,” said Raffaele Aillo, general manager for Earls Chilliwack. “We have been hosting Martini Mingle for many years and with the continued support of our customers and community partners we are committed to A Campaign for Health Care Excellence.” If you would like to make a gift in support of Chilliwack General Hospital, please call the Foundation at 604 701 4051 or donate on-line by visiting www.iloveCGH.ca.

When Brady Tiessen learned of a poster contest depicting war, the 11-year-old couldn’t pass up the opportunity. And it’s a good thing he didn’t. Tiessen, a Grade 6 student at John Calvin Christian school in Yarrow, won a national poster contest sponsored by the Royal Canadian Legion. “I’m really interested in wars,” he said. In fact, for more than a year, Tiessen’s nose has been buried in books on war. He’s read a multitude of fictional and historical books on the first world war, second world war, Vietnam war, Canada’s history with war and more. But it was the first book he read that hooked him – a novel on the first world war about a 15-year-old kid, who wanted desperately to serve his country, and lied about his age to do so. “It must have been crazy,” Tiessen said, wondering if he’d do the same.
Brady Tiessen, Grade 6 student at John Calvin School, won a national legion award for a black and white war-themed poster he sketched, which is on display at the national war museum in Ottawa. PROGRESS STAFF

It also included a cemetery of the dead, crosses, poppies, war planes, tanks and battleships. “Ideas just kept popping into my head,” he said. Tiessen’s poster won in the junior black and white category. His submission will be among 14 winning selections displayed from June 2012 to May 2013 in the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa, Ont. As well, he also received a certificate and $165 in monetary rewards. The poster contest was held at four levels – senior (Grade 10-12), intermediate (Grade 7-9), junior (Grade 4-6) and primary (kindergarten to Grade 3). Four other students at John Calvin school and two students from G.W. Graham middle secondary also won in the poster and literary zone and provincial categories.

Community UFV writer wins Canada prize for examination of Canadian children and WWI is now presented as pointless slaughter. This shift in tone and content reveals profound changes in Canadian attitudes not only towards the First World War but also towards patriotism, duty, and the shaping of the moral citizen. “I am very honoured to have received this award,” said Fisher. “I think I wrote Boys and Girls in No Man’s Land for my parents, both of whom were children of Canadian soldiers of the Great War. I wanted to understand how the war had shaped the world
that they grew up in. It was a personal project as well as an academic one. So I am very pleased that scholars and other readers are interested in Boys and Girls. The story of how our country mobilized even its youngest citizens to fight the war is a fascinating one that we are only beginning to explore. I think knowing more about this chapter of our past will help Canadians re-examine our ideas about patriotism and citizenship.” “Boys and Girls in No Man’s Land is the first
sustained examination of how the First World War was perceived by and affected Canadian children, making it an important contribution to the social and cultural history of the war. Susan Fisher’s grasp of the literature on the subject is excellent, while her accessible writing ensures that this book will appeal to a wide audience,” notes Jonathan Vance of the University of Western Ontario history department. “Boys and Girls in No Man’s Land is a solid, well-written contribu-
tion to the history of Canadian youth literature and the cultures of childhood. Susan Fisher analyses the popular literature and reading habits of children who lived through the First World War and considers how the memory of the war is used in contemporary writing for youth. Her discussion of patriotism and the different responses to war in British and American children’s literature is particularly insightful,” said Gail Edwards of the Douglas College history department.

A UFV faculty member has won a major national literary prize. Dr. Susan Fisher, associate dean of the College of Arts and also a faculty member in the English department, won the 2012 Canada Prize for a scholarly work in the humanities category. It was one of four awards — two for scholarly works in the humanities and two for scholarly works in the social sciences, with English and French prizes in each category — awarded by the Canadian Federation for the Humanities and Social Sciences. The prizes, each of which is valued at $2,500, were presented at a special ceremony at Montreal’s Musée des beaux-arts. The winners were selected by a cross-Canada jury of scholars. “Though these four books deal with very different topics, what they have in common is their ability to shine new light on Canada’s history, culture, and identity,” said Graham Carr, president of the CFHSS. “By tackling compelling topics with rigorous research and informed analysis, these four scholars have found insights that help explain Canadians to themselves. These books are valuable contributions to the body of knowledge about Canada, and inform the democratic debate about the future of this country by explaining elements of our past.” Fisher won for her work Boys and Girls in No Man’s Land: EnglishCanadian Children and the First World War, published by University of Toronto Press. Boys and Girls in No Man’s Land examines how the First World War entered the lives and imaginations of Canadian children. Drawing on educational materials, textbooks, adventure tales, plays and Sunday-school papers of the time, this study explores the role of children in Canada’s war effort. In the book, Fisher also considers how the representation of the war has changed in Canadian children’s literature. During the war, the conflict was presented as noble and thrilling, but recent Canadian children’s books paint a very different picture. What once was regarded a morally uplifting struggle, rich in lessons of service and sacrifice,

The real winner, of course, was the Cops for Cancer campaign that raised $925.75 in donations. “The RCMP thank the administration, staf f, students and community members at each of the schools for their support in what we hope will be an annual event,” Cpl.
Tammy Hollingsworth said. Const. Brad Rendall, who organized the games, said “these young men showed a ver y mature attitude in the level of sportsmanship on the floor, and if they carry the same attitude into the community, they will be future leaders.” The RCMP sent special thanks to members of the Fraser Valley Basketball Of ficials Association who donated their time to referee the games.

Ready for Rapids
Tickets are now available for a June 1 Whitecaps FC women’s soccer match versus the Colorado Rapids. The game is being played at Exhibition Field with a 7 p.m. start time. Advance tickets are $10 and can be picked up at the Chilliwack FC office at Townsend Park. Tickets can also be purchased by phone at 604-792-0090 (via credit card). Those not buying advance tickets can take their chances on game day at a cost of $12. The Whitecaps
played in Chilliwack last year and required a small army of volunteers to make the game a success. Twelve flag bears are needed, all of whom must be 11 years or older. Twenty-two player escorts are needed, all of whom must be between the ages of five and eight. Flag bearers and escorts will need tickets to the game. Registration for both activities can be done online at chilliwackfc. com and there are other volunteer positions that need to be filled. The Whitecaps are also holding a pre-game clinic, open to a maximum of 64 players. The clinic is for players between the ages of 6 and 10 years old. Players need to arrive two-and-a-half hours before kickoff with shine pads, cleats and a club uniform.
Southpaw stops Weston Chilliwack boxer Shalynn Holdsworth demolished American fighter Rockie Weston in a Saturday bout in Olympia, Washington. Competing at the South Sound Championships, Holdsworth’s opponent weighed in seven pounds heavier and a full year older. In a full-fledged fight, Holdsworth started strong, landing several lefts to Weston’s head. Weston had no answer for Holdsworth’s southpaw stance.
The Thurston County native was staggered in the first and second rounds and stopped in the third. After two damaging lefts, the referee stepped in to end the fight. Holdsworth won the novice boxer award at tournament and has now gone three for three in bouts since mid-March. Two of her wins have come by TKO. Holdsworth is starting to get noticed by American coaches.

Vees stun Slammers for RBC title The Penticton Vees won the 2012 RBC Cup with a 4-3 win over the Woodstock Slammers Sunday night. Penticton won its second national championship. Their previous win came in 1986 when the team was
known as the Knights. The Vees are the third Pacific region team to win the RBC Cup in the last four years, and the 10th team from the BCHL to be crowned national champions since the start of the five-team format in 1990. Joey Benik scored the game-winning goal with 51.3 seconds remaining as the Vees battled back from a 3-2 third-period deficit. Penticton led 2-0
just 12:18 in on goals from Travis St. Denis and Steven Fogarty. But the Slammers, who knocked off the host Humboldt Broncos in Saturday’s semifinals, staged a comeback from two goals down for the second day in a row. Bradley Greene got Woodstock on the board just 61 seconds after Fogarty’s goal. Nick Huard tied it eight minutes into the second period on a
Slammers power play, and Greene’s second goal 90 seconds after the puck dropped to start the third period gave the East region champions their first lead at 3-2. The Vees, who trailed in all four of their preliminary round games, tied the game at 11:10 of the third period when Bryce Gervais poked a loose puck past Woodstock goaltender Matt Murphy after Fogarty’s initial
shot had hit the post. Benik’s game winner was a hot shot from the slot off a pass from St. Denis. St. Denis and Fogarty finished with a goal and an assist each for the Vees, while Mike Reilly and Mario Lucia had two helpers apiece. Penticton became the first team since the Vernon Vipers in 1999 to win the national championship after starting the tournament 0-2.
The GW Graham Grizzlies will hit the field May 22 for the first high school football camp in Chilliwack in 30 years. Nike will be there to outfit the players in new gear. Parents and friends are invited to join the fun. There will be a bouncy castle set up for the kids and a hot dog barbecue and Gatorade station for the parents, along with other activities. Team photos are part of the itinerary, and a scrimmage will end the day. Get more info via email at laurie@grahamfootball.ca

✞ Obituaries BAERG Henry R.
Aug. 12, 1918-May 8, 2012 H e n r y R. Baerg of Chilliwack, BC passed away in Chilliwack on Tuesday, May 8, 2012. BAERG Henry was born on August 12,1918 in Alexanderthal, South Russia to John J. & Margaret (Wiebe) Baerg. Henry grew up in Saskatchewan before the family settled in Coaldale, Alberta. After much struggle, Henry decided to become a follower of Jesus Christ at the age of 17, was baptized in the summer of 1937 & joined the Coaldale MB Church. In February 1941 he married Justina Anne Wiebe and they began a life of service together. After studies at MBBC in Manitoba, Tabor College and Wichita State University in Kansas (earning an MA in History) H.R. was ordained into the ministry & served as pastor of First Baptist Church in Durham, KS, then at Henderson MB Church in Henderson, NE. In 1956 H.R. became professor of Christian Education and History at MBBC & Dean of Students in Winnipeg, spending the first three summers as Director of Camp Arnes. After six years of teaching he received a call from the Portage Avenue MB church in 1962 to pastor the congregation and responded with great enthusiasm. During this time he also worked on a PhD in education. A great challenge presented itself when H.R. became president of Winkler Bible Institute in 1969. The school underwent a very dynamic period of growth and he was able to exercise his capacities to the full. With keen devotion, he recruited staff and students, some from as far away as Africa and India. In 1979 he was excited to become the pastor of the Kingwood Bible (MB) Church in Salem, Oregon. Following semi-retirement in 1982, came a total of five one-year interim pastorates at Kamloops MB church, Grace Mennonite church (Winkler), Elm Creek MB church, Lakeview MB church (Lethbridge) and finally Henderson, Nebraska again. Then Henry’s last pastorate was with the small Immanuel Baptist church in Salem, Oregon. He was greatly appreciated by many people and congregations that he pastored throughout his extensive ministry. In 1993 a final major move to Chilliwack took place. Henry and Anne spent many memorable hours together with guests and in visitations before Anne, his loving and supportive companion of 60 years, passed away in March 2001. In May 2002 Henry mar-
ried Erika Miller of Edmonton. Henry also enjoyed traveling and involved his children in a number of cross continent road trips. Other adventures included organizing tours around the world, taking four mission campaigns to India and 12 trips to Israel and beyond as tour leader, including two trips to the USSR. H.R. possessed a great desire for his children to live for God and he played a significant role in directing them in that way. He encouraged youth to get an education and exercised guidance and direction to thousands of old, middle-aged and young people. Henry’s enthusiasm was infectious. People of all ages were drawn to him and he was graced by their friendship in return. He visited the sick and bereaved and was blessed to receive the same in his last years from generous care givers and family members. Henry is survived by his wife Erika, of Toronto, 6 children: Don from Berlin, Eleanor from Chilliwack, Sam (Eileen) from Salina KS, Charity (James) Peters from Winkler, Paul from Los Angeles, David (Lorna) from Winnipeg; 8 grandchildren; 7 great grandchildren; 1 sister, 3 brothers & their spouses; 1 sister-in-law; two step-children. He was predeceased by his first wife Anne, 1 grandson, 5 brothers and 3 sisters. Services to commemorate the life of H.R. Baerg will be held on Saturday, May 19, 2012. Viewing is at 10:30 am at Central Community Church, 46100 Chilliwack Central Rd., Chilliwack, BC; burial at 12 pm at Little Mountain Cemeteries; service at 1:30 pm at Central Community Church. Donations can be made to MB Missions.

Mom was a talented knitter, a wonderful cook and loved an afternoon at the casino. She was always ready to join in any adventure. The family would like to thank Dr. Robin Wilson and the staff of 4SouthCentral and 2South at Langley Memorial Hospital for their care of Mom over the past months.
