Ryder Lake mystery: Fewer toads cross the road Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Fraser Valley Conservancy officials were ready to stop vehicle traffic in Ryder Lake to make way for the annual western toad migration. But for some reason very few toadlets ended up crossing the road this year. Conservancy reps are now talking about a possible crash in population numbers of the blue-listed toad species. “The toads have been a bit of a mystery this year,” said biologist Micheal Pearson, president of the FVC. The totals are just “a small fraction” of previous years’ numbers.
“It may be a disease outbreak, but at the moment we simply don’t know” ~ biologist Micheal Pearson, Fraser Valley Conservancy “We think the migration is almost over,” he reported in a news release. The juvenile toads typically follow a migration route from their natal lakes up in the Ryder Lake area to nearby forested rearing grounds across the road. They had been numbered in the tens of thousands, with a visual count of 700,000 last year. This year there were only about 20,000 toadlets, based on a rough estimate by the Conservancy. There weren’t enough juveniles
on the move to justify closing the roads for extended periods. “We are not sure what has happened, as the adults seemed to show up in the usual numbers to breed this spring,” said Pearson. They’ve heard reports of a similar crash in a population on Vancouver Island — also unexplained. “It may be a disease outbreak, but at the moment we simply don’t know. It is also unlikely we ever will for sure.” Confirmation would have to
come from “not quite dead” specimens, which they do not have at the moment. One of the obstacles is gaining access to the breeding and rearing sites. “It is difficult as both water bodies (Ryder Lake and Hornby Lake) are on private land,” said Pearson. They obtained swab samples from two toads to test for a type of fungus, which has caused amphibian crashes elsewhere. “But even finding it will not be conclusive, as it commonly
occurs at low levels without causing harm. “At present we are still monitoring the situation and discussing possibilities with some BC amphibian specialists,” said Pearson. The FVC will be continuing its efforts to raise funds for crossing structures for its Western Toad Migration program. “I think this shows how important it is to make sure the adults can migrate safely to breed to keep their populations healthy, especially when they have one bad year,” said FVC official Suzie MacMillan. The road closure signs are coming down this week. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Woman rescued after plunge into service hole Three-hour effort to extract injured woman who fell 10 feet Jessica Peters Black Press A three-hour rescue took place in Harrison Highlands on Tuesday, after an Agassiz woman fell into a ten-foot hole on an undeveloped housing lot. The incident took place near the woman’s home, on Woodside Boulevard. Her husband, Agassiz firefighters and local paramedics stayed by the hole for the duration of the rescue. The woman’s neighbours nervously watched the scene play out, in 32 C heat. The hole is about two-feet wide and ten-feet deep with crush gravel
at the top, and it is unclear whether it was covered when she fell in. There was some building debris littered around the area, and several sewer and water holes that were covered. A medivac helicopter was called in to transport the woman when her injuries were unknown. The woman injured her leg in the fall but otherwise seemed in good condition, a paramedic on the scene told Black Press. Before rescuing the woman, the air in the hole had to be checked for gasses by the fire department. Rescuers also had to build a pulley with a frame around the hole to lower an Agassiz firefighter in with
the woman, and pull each of them back out. A backboard was sent down, and the woman was brought back up to a waiting stretcher. While the medivac was still waiting on scene, she was transported by ambulance to Chilliwack. Once she was lifted out and safely on a stretcher, the firefighter was lifted out of the hole as well. Agassiz firefighters and paramedics were called to the scene around 4:30 p.m., and the woman was pulled out at about 7 p.m. For more photos and video of the rescue, visit us online at www. ahobserver.com.

B.C. Jobs Plan bodes well for Chilliwack: Minister Robert Freeman The Progress International education, agriculture and the aerospace industry are among the eight economic sectors the B.C. government is focusing on it its job-creation plan. And B.C. Jobs Minister Pat Bell says the three sectors are each strong economic cards held by Chilliwack and other Fraser Valley communities. “Chilliwack will benefit from the jobs plan,” Bell told a Chamber of Commerce breakFor us to take fast audience Wednesday. He said the B.C. Jobs Plan, on additional modeled on B.C.’s successstudents, ful initiative to increase lumber exports to China, idendomestic or tifies eight economic sectors in which the province has “a international, is a significant advantage that will allow us to out-compete other challenge for us jurisdictions.” He said there is a “very ~ UFV president compelling business case” Mark Evered for the B.C. government to promote international education, which has brought some 90,000 international students to the province. Those students have created 22,000 jobs in B.C. with an economic value of $1.5 billion, he said. Smaller regional universities in B.C., like the University of the Fraser Valley, which has campuses in Chilliwack and Abbotsford, will be promoted by “education specialists” being hired at each of B.C.’s international offices, most of those located in Asia, he said. UFV president Mark Evered, who attended the breakfast meeting, said he would “love to bring more international students to Chilliwack,” but at the moment the university doesn’t have enough space for them. “For us to take on additional students, domestic or international, is a challenge for us,” he said.

The small event was organized by Katherine Arnold for a group of eight boys aged six to nine. It had nine events including a 1-km marathon, discus, shot put, long jump and shoe toss. Most of the boys are with Scouts Canada and the event will help them achieve their athlete badge and a Canadian Healthy Living Award via Scouts Canada. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
City ready to respond to Paramount proposal Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Friends of the Chilliwack Paramount are getting ready to head to council chambers at City Hall next week to learn the fate of the downtown landmark. The group was notified that a staff report is ready to go in response to their proposal to turn the building into a repertory theatre to screen nonmainstream films in a non-for-profit
model. The report will be tucked into Friday’s agenda for the Tuesday city council meeting, said group spokesperson Laura Reid. “We would love to see a strong show of support at the meeting from Chilliwack residents on Tuesday who don’t want to see this historic landmark demolished,” she said. Over the summer months the group has received a fair amount of correspondence from supporters who

board was making costly changes without consulting the communities whose fares and property taxes cover more than half the cost of transit service. Joe Stanhope, chair of the Nanaimo Regional District, was on hand with Lekstrom to release the report Tuesday. Stanhope said the recommendations of the review
team are “exactly what we wanted. “There were some problems, and the basic problems were communications,” he said. Stanhope raised the alarm in 2011 after BC Transit notified local officials of a doubling of management fees, after municipalities had adopted their budgets for the year. ~ Black Press

Outpatient rehab service at CGH to start this week Robert Freeman The Progress Chilliwack-Hope MLA Gwen O’Mahony is asking the B.C. health minister to delay the decision to close the rehab unit at Chilliwack General Hospital. Health Minister Michael de Jong declined to comment publicly last week on O’Mahony’s request, saying the matter at this time in the hands of the Fraser Health
Authority. But O’Mahony remained optimistic that de Jong, whose own riding in Abbotsford will be affected by the closure, will step in and order a “pause” in the closure until gaps in Chilliwack home support system can be addressed. “There are holes in Chilliwack’s home care support system,” she said. “There isn’t any disagreement with that.” But last Thursday, an FHA
Job strategy JOB from p3 But Evered said he was “delighted” by Bell’s comments about the government’s interest in linking education to business, a strong card in UFV’s “unique” blend of academic and business training in its degree programs. Bell said the jobs strategy includes a “voucher program” that provides up to $50,000 in grants to research students who partner with a B.C. company. However, to date, UFV has not been included in the voucher program because it is not a research university, like UBC, something Evered would like to see changed. Bell said UFV is a “world leader in aerospace training” at its Abbotsford campus, which the education specialists will be promoting at the international offices. Bell said every four international students equal one full-time job, which can have an enormous impact on local economies. One thousand international students attend UFV each year. Bell said agriculture is a “less apparent” ace in B.C.’s economic hand, but he pointed out there is a “huge appetite” in China for fresh farm produce and berries — both specialties of Fraser Valley farms. The other sectors in the plan are forestry, mining, natural gas, technology, tourism and transportation. Bell said job-creation numbers in B.C. are “fluctuating,” but so far the province is in third place behind Ontario and Alberta, which leads the nation spurred by its oil fields. But Bell said he believes B.C. has entered “a pivotal time” in its history, not without risk but also full of “enormous opportunity.” “If we can effectively deliver on our strategic plan ... I think B.C. can be very successful,” he said. “I think we’re on the right track.”
spokesman said there are no changes to the plan to replace the in-hospital rehab ward with an outpatient service starting Aug. 14. At that time, an inter-disciplinary team of “outpatient rehab clinicians” will be in place to provide additional rehab services to outpatients, including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, nursing, a rehabilitation assistant, a social worker and speech and language pathology.
The conversion to outpatient clinic is expected to be complete by Aug. 31 and rehab patients needing hospital treatment will be sent to Abbotsford. O’Mahony said in her Aug. 8 letter to de Jong that “patients, family members and caregivers have raised significant concerns about the gaps that will undoubtedly come to light as a result of this closure.” “The Fraser Valley is a growing
region and it’s crucial that significant changes to health care delivery be made dispassionately and only after all the expert evidence has been weighed,” she said. “I’m hoping you can assist in having this decision delayed, so Chilliwack residents can have confidence that the correct decision is ultimately reached.” rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Minister hints at lower Port Mann toll Black Press As the Port Mann bridge replacement nears completion, Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom says he is “optimistic” that the toll can be lowered below $3 per crossing, at least for the first year. Lekstrom said in an interview this week that his discussions with the corporation set up to build the 10-lane bridge indicate it may be possible to reduce the toll rate by extending the debt repayment period. When the project was announced, a $3 toll was calculated to pay the bridge off over 40 years. Lekstrom said he has heard from many people who consider that toll too high, especially
since the bridge will function with only eight lanes for the first year. The old bridge must be taken down before the last two lanes can be connected to Highway 1. So would a toonie get you across during the first year? Lekstrom wouldn’t give specific number until the entire tolling framework is released, which is expected to be in early September. There will be a second round of ministr y advertising at that time, to explain the rates and payment options that will take effect when the bridge opens in December. The eastern portion of the South Fraser Perimeter Road will open at the same time, giving drivers a faster route to the Pattullo Bridge as an alterna-
tive to the toll bridge. Lekstrom said he expects some people to try that, but soon recognize the time saving of the new Port Mann. “To divert from the Port Mann to the Pattullo and then get back onto your way, I think people might do it once or twice to say look, I’m opposed to tolling,” Lekstrom said. “But I couldn’t imagine going through that frustration to save a couple of dollars.” Lekstrom said he’s also confident that the promised rapid bus service will be in place from day one. If TransLink’s $30 million funding shortfall isn’t covered by savings from an ongoing audit of the regional transit group, he said he’s committed to work with communities to find the money.
The prospect of a lower toll didn’t impress Jordan Bateman, B.C. Director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. “Lower Mainland drivers already pay more than a billion dollars a year in gas taxes,” Bateman said. “We deserve to know that money is flowing into roads and bridges before we get dinged for tolls.” Lekstrom said he is also prepared for people to claim that a oneyear discount on tolls is designed to ease the backlash against his unpopular government going into an election year. Critics say the same thing about paving highways and building schools and hospitals, he said.
Paramount fate to be known soon PARAMOUNT from p3 The building was added to the “Top 10 Endangered places” list in June by the Heritage Canada Foundation based on its historical significance, urgency of the situation and the high level of community support. The group has collected more than $20,000 in cash pledges
from the public and another $120,000 in pledged materials and services in kind. “I believe we have enough financial support to start the renovations almost immediately,” Reid said. An estimated $300,000 in repairs would have to be undertaken to get the dilapidated building up to code. “We would start with the roof

Safety was the big common denominator. Finding a safer way to fish salmon on the Lower Fraser River was one of the recurrent themes Saturday afternoon at the first ever Celebration of Safety and Culture on the River at Island 22 Regional Park. More than 20 groups conducted demonstrations and shared ideas about staying safe on the water. “We’re concerned about people’s safety. And so we thought that in the midst of our discussions about other issues in the fishery, between the First Nations community, the anglers and conservation groups, one of the things we could agree on was working together towards creating a safe fishery here on the Lower Fraser River,� said Ernie Crey, advisor to Sto:lo Tribal Council on fishery issues. The need for more personal floatation device use was a big topic, and several exam-

Our aviation future As thousands of Chilliwack residents crane their necks skyward at Flight Fest this Sunday, organizers are hoping people will take away something more down-to-earth: The importance of the Chilliwack Airport and its impact on the local economy. That was the impetus for starting the annual air show more than a decade ago. It’s an open house that gives residents a close up look at the aviation industry and its role in the community. Sure, there’s more to it than that. Performances by some of the best aerobatic pilots in the business add a thrill that’s hard to match. From the graceful and silent ballet of a sailplane, to the mighty throb of a Harvard engine, the performances make the magic of flight more real. But on the ground, the effort to keep those planes in the air (and the many more mundane flights that come and go at Chilliwack airport) is often over looked. There are about 20 businesses that call the Chilliwack Airport home. Not only do they create local employment, their activity benefits other businesses as well. The City of Chilliwack recognizes the growing role the airport can play in the city’s future. Airports are now seen to have the potential of becoming the modern equivalent of train stations. Studies have show that communities with active airports see more growth and innovation. Interestingly, while Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz was strapping on a parachute for a ride with stunt pilot “Super Dave” Mathieson, B.C. Jobs Minister Pat Bell was in Chilliwack to talk about job creation. (See story, page 3) He highlighted eight areas of potential for job creation in B.C. Three of them, he told the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce, have definite Chilliwack potential: international education, agriculture and the aerospace industry. The weekend’s Flight Fest promises to be another great event, with lots of excitement for the whole family. But as Mayor Gaetz, Pat Bell and the volunteers behind the air show know, an airport’s true potential goes far beyond entertainment.

B.C. liquor laws finally working effectively VICTORIA – Here’s a summer scene being played out all over North America. Family van pulls up to the corner store to stock up on a few camping essentials: pop, chips, hot dogs, a case of beer and a bottle of vodka. Not in B.C. you say? It happens every day at rural agency liquor stores around the province. As with many other issues, there is one reality for urban B.C. and another for the rest of us. Selling booze in grocery stores would presumably create anarchy in B.C cities and towns, but villagers and their visitors somehow manage it, just as everyone does across the line in Washington or Alaska. These rural agency stores are “flyspeck operators,” sniffs an acquaintance who spent his career as a union activist in government liquor stores. Picture dusty old bottles on a rickety

shelf, greedy owners and poorly trained clerks more likely to sell to under-age drinkers. Similar generalizations can be heard about the hundreds of private liquor stores that have popped up around B.C. since they were legalized. And in fact there have been more violations in private stores, Tom revealed in sting FLETCHER operations run by liquor inspectors. In the year ended March 31, 54 private stores were caught selling to a minor, for an 84 per cent compliance rate. Only four government stores were caught, a pass rate of 96 per cent. Five rural agency stores were tested, and one flunked. But here is the telling statistic.
In 2010, the government allowed liquor inspectors to employ actual minors to test stores. Previously, they hired people who looked young but were old enough to buy alcohol, As late as 2009, two out of three stores (government or otherwise) sold to them. Problem is, that’s not an actual offence. Now liquor inspectors send in undercover teens, and relieve them of the evidence when they are allowed to buy booze. The watchdog now has teeth, and compliance has jumped. The government glossed over the poorer performance of private stores. But in fairness, three times as many private stores as government ones were targeted in the new inspections, and the gap is narrow. Government stores also have a huge built-in financial advantage in their wholesale rate, and are generally overstaffed by
private sector standards. The B.C. Liberals also moved this spring to make rural agency stores easier to establish. Regulation changes brought the minimum population served from 300 down to 200, and eliminated a vague requirement for a “bona fide community” to exist around the store. Meanwhile, the big booze story this year is cabinet minister Rich Coleman’s plan to sell B.C.’s warehouse and distribution monopoly to a private contractor. The B.C. Government Employees’ Union has protested, despite assurances that their jobs will continue. B.C.’s burgeoning craft beer industry has looked to Alberta’s all-private model and predicts higher costs. The B.C. Liberal government has been on the defensive from the start, with the NDP pointing to the paper trail of lobbyists

with an apparent inside track. It’s great politics, but it matters little to consumers in an increasingly competitive but heavily taxed business. Another new regulation took effect this summer, creating a $525 fine for adults serving minors, on the job, at home or as a bootlegger. Parents who provide booze for their own underage children are exempted. Previously, penalties applied only to licensed establishments. If the issue really is public safety and teen binge drinking, the key job for government is to regulate sales effectively. Once that is done, no justification remains for government liquor sales.

Pipelines committed to safety shipped through pipelines) is not like conventional crude oil: It is more corrosive and more toxic.” This is not true. A recent study by Alberta Innovates Technology Future (AITF) disputed these claims. In fact, the study found that diluted bitumen (dilbit) has properties very similar to those of conventional crude oil. Furthermore, the AITF study concluded that there is no more risk of corrosion in pipelines carrying dilbit than that found in pipelines transporting conventional crude oil. Diluted bitumen has been safely transported in pipelines for decades. Mr. Hale also referenced in his letter, an economist, who “clearly shows, tar sands pipelines are ‘not an income generating growth opportunity’, as the industry tries to claim.” The fact is, the current lack of pipeline market access costs the Canadian economy approximately $40 million per day. This equates to a loss of export revenues totaling approximately $14 billion annually in trade. And lastly, Mr. Hale questions
Slide under the Stars!
whether or not the pipeline industry can “guarantee” that there will be no future spills. The fact is, the pipeline industry cannot make that guarantee, in the same way that other modes of transportation cannot make that guarantee either. However, the industry is working hard at trying to minimize the risk of potential future spills with an ultimate goal of zero incidents. One of the ways in which the industry is hoping to achieve this goal, is through CEPA’s recently announced program called, CEPA Integrity First. This program is dedicated to improving the industry’s performance, communication and engagement of priority issues by jointly developing and adopting best practices across CEPA’s member companies.

is heading to our ocean coastline because of the debris from Japan. All the complaining groups will find themselves without federal, provincial or local support when the mess hits the coastline of B.C. This blanket of junk will do more damage than the oil spills that might happen from the transport of oil from Alberta. All these private boats and sailing vessels that use the Vancouver harbour should be ashamed of themselves for expecting the Coast Guard to assist them. I do not call out the military when my car breaks down on the highway; I have BCAA. The people who
use the Vancouver harbour should have the equivalent to BCAA. The federal government wants the pipeline to go through. Is this the same government we will be asking to clear our beaches of debris? I really think that B.C. should be thinking about what to do with the debris. Asking for money from Alberta for royalties is not the way to go. We are not in a position to be calling the shots. Please consider what will happen to our fisheries with a blanket of debris over the ocean and no financial support to remove it. May LaChance

There was a leak in my area of Burnaby after I had moved. I would have been devastated as I am very much affected by oil, including oil stoves in regular use.

RE: Facts About Pipelines in Canada Recently, there was a letter from Mr. Michael Hale from the PIPE UP Network in Chilliwack, BC, that appeared in your newspaper on August 2. We would like the opportunity to respond to Mr. Hale’s letter based on the facts. The Canadian Energy Pipeline Association represents Canada’s transmission pipeline companies who operate approximately 109,000 kilometres of pipelines in Canada. In 2011, these energy highways moved approximately 1.2 billion barrels of liquid petroleum products and 5.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Our members transport 97 per cent of Canada’s daily natural gas and onshore crude oil from producing regions to markets throughout North America. In Mr. Hale’s letter, he made some comments about pipelines and the industry that are incorrect. For example, he suggests that “tar sands bitumen (which must be diluted by volatile organic compounds to be

Hot weather poses risks to pets With more hot weather expected in Chilliwack over the next few days the BC SPCA is reminding people of the hazards and potentially fatal consequences when mixing summer heat and animals. Many people like to take their dogs with them to the beach or on errands but it’s very risky to take your canine friend in your vehicle. The temperature inside a parked car at this time of year, even one that’s in the shade, can climb well above 38 degrees. Dogs can withstand high temperatures for only a very short time before suffering irreparable brain damage or even death. “Dogs can die after just 10 minutes in a hot car,” says Craig Naherniak, BC SPCA humane education general manager. “It’s much kinder and far safer to leave your friend in a cool environment.” Naherniak recommends the following tips for keeping your

dog safe: • Don’t leave your pet in the car. Even a car parked in the shade can pose a threat to your pet if the sun should change direction and heat up the car’s interior. • Use caution when running, cycling or rollerblading with your pet, as these activities pose serious risks of heatstroke, accidents, and anxiety experienced by the animal. If you run or cycle with your dog, choose cooler times of day such as early morning or late evening and take plenty of breaks. Also, run on soft trails rather than on cement and asphalt, which can burn your pet’s foot pads. • Always take water
appropriate conand an approp tainer from which your dog can drink. • Have the number of a veterinarian on hand so that you are prepared in case of an emergency. “If you see a dog in a car on a hot day that you believe may be in trouble, call your local SPCA, animal shelter, or police immediately,” advises Shawn Eccles, BC SPCA chief animal protection officer. To avoid potential disaster, know the signs of heatstroke in pets: exaggerated panting (or the sudden stopping of panting), rapid or erratic pulse, salivation, weakness and muscle tremors, lack of coordination, convulsions or vomiting
and collapse. If your dog shows symptoms of heatstroke, immediately move the animal to a cool, shady place. Wet the dog with cool water including the head and feet and fan vigorously to promote evaporation. Do not apply ice, as this constricts blood flow which will inhibit cooling. Allow the dog to drink some cool water. Finally, get him to the vet right away. Besides dogs and cats, it’s important to take good care of your small animals such as guinea pigs, rabbits and rats. Never put their cages near windows and provide shelter and shade if they are enjoying outdoor time. On the hottest days, adding dishes of ice into enclosures will assist in lower temperatures. And, of course, watch them closely so they don’t become overheated. For more information on pet safety visit spca. bc.ca.

change in a most compassionate and determined manner. Patti is a Lower Mainland girl, having grown up in rural Surrey. She comes from a solid bluecollar family who is well known on the waterfront. “My father, my grandfather and great-father were all longshoremen as were my uncles and greatuncles,” she said. Her mother, meanwhile, was an artistic and creative woman who was a skilled cartoonist.

This energetic, groundbreaker has an unquestionable and unshakable commitment to anything and everything that she’s involved with.

At the tender age of 16, Patti dropped out of school and got married. She has always loved the outdoors, especially hunting and fishing, so it was quite natural for them to move to B.C.’s northern capital, Prince George, where they enjoyed a good life along with their three children. Then, tragedy struck in 1988. “My husband was a millwright and he ended up dying as a result of a severe workplace accident,” she said. The family went into

Our YMCA Youth Leadership Development program (YLD) is a program for youth grades 5-12 with the focus on life skills and our world around us. We meet all year long building relationships within our group and within our community. We at YLD believe that all youth have something very special to contribute to our society. This fundraiser is going to help us send youth to our annual conference where we get to meet youth from all over BC and some from Washington. This conference has changed the lives of many youth and we feel that all kids should have an opportunity to see how strong they really are.
turmoil but there was little time to deal with the tragedy because Patti knew that without her husband, she had to be the sole provider for her family. “I got a job in a camp and drove a truck, cooked or did whatever needed to be done.” Even so, the family struggled and ended up loosing their home. Patti grew her own garden and went hunting to put food on the table. Much to her disbelief, she also discovered that the legislation governing the rights of those left behind as a result of a workplace accident hadn’t been changed in more than 70 years. The original laws were crafted when women didn’t even have the right to vote. Being a person with a great sense of justice, Patti set out to change the law and became a strong advocate for the cause. She began by going back to school and through that process wrote an extensive document that provided the necessary facts to back up the change in legislation. Patti also began lobbying for change. “I didn’t even own a suit. My mom told me that I needed to get one so we went out and bought one. I mean, being from Northern BC, I mainly wore jeans and moccasins,” she laughed. Patti is certainly competent and has the ability to work collaboratively, to encourage, influence and motivate people and to facilitate change. The road was long and hard and she almost gave up the fight until tragedy struck again. “This was the impetus that I needed to have the policies changed. My son had a roofing company and the scaf-

folding broke, causing him to have a life changing, brain injury on Mother’s Day 2000,” she explained. She bravely, passionately and convincingly continued to work with all levels of government to introduce specific legislative Ana changes that betMACEDO ter protect the rights of survivors of workplace accidents. In 2003, Bill C-37 was passed as a result of Patti’s hard work, dedication and determination. As busy as she was, she lovingly raised her three children, earned her MBA and worked diligently with the Canadian Injured Worker’s Alliance and the BC Brain Injury Federation. Then in 2007, Patti combined her passion for the outdoors and her ability as an effective negotiator, to become executive director of the BC Wildlife Federation. She was the first woman to hold that position and having been there for about four years, outlasted others who had held the position, by a couple of years. “There is no question that this was a high stress job. There are 30 committees alone and to do the job well, you need to be fully immersed in it. I was in Victoria or Ottawa every week. It was a huge learning curve for me but one that I enjoyed immensely,” she said. Feeling rather burned out, Patti decided that it was Continued: ANA/ p21

I know there are many gardens out there that really need a lift in September, writes Brian Minter deteriorate to the point of no return. You can leave them in the ground to naturalize, if that is the effect you wish to have. A single corm of a large colchicum hybrid can easily multiply to cover nearly 900 square centimetres of garden. Just imagine what a few well-placed groupings throughout your garden can do. It is best to plant them about 10cm deep and about 15 to 20cm apart. They need some room, not only to multiply, but also for the huge foliage which will develop the following spring. These fascinating bulbs can actually bloom indoors simply by leaving them sitting on a windowsill. It’s best to put them in a saucer on about two inches of gravel. The flowers won’t last quite as long, nor will they have the same intense colour, but they will bloom and can still be planted outside to grow on for next year. Each year in late April, just as the tulips are nicely in flower, huge masses of strap-like leaves appear and grow to about one foot in height. After two to three weeks, they disappear as suddenly as they arrived, having provided all the food the bulb needs. Colchicums are quite hardy and do well from zones one through nine. ‘Colchicum speciosus’, which blooms in September and October, is most often a bright violet-pink, while ‘Colchicum album’ is the seldom seen

beautiful white variety. Among the hybrids, ‘Lilac Wonder’ is the most popular with its attractive lilac-pink flowers. The double purple blooms of ‘Waterlily’ are unusual and quite beautiful, but its heavy blossoms are often knocked down and spoiled by autumn rains. Colchicums should be planted in areas where they can be naturalized without interfering with other plants. Underplantings around flowering shrubs, like white altheas or P.G. hydrangeas, make a lovely contrast when the bulbs bloom each fall. Another wonderful combination is to plant them under the new pink snowberries (Symphoricarpos) for a great autumn display. Colchicums are only dormant in July and August, so you have to be quick on the draw to get them planted immediately for any kind of showing this fall, but they are well worth the effort, believe me. The main bulb supplier for BC has just received their shipment for distribution to garden stores this week, so for this weekend and next week, colchicums should be widely available. I know there are many gardens out there that really need a lift in September, and these precious fall crocuses can add that little spark of colour. Think of them as fall messengers reminding us that in spring our gardens will be inundated with colour from their peers.

write about these bulbs almost every summer because they are so easy to grow and are so important for fall colour and because August is the only time of year to plant these giant crocus that bloom in September! Fall blooming colchicums go by the name of ‘Autumn Crocus’, although they are not really a crocus at all. In fact, they belong to the lily family and are native to the Mediterranean region. Colchicum bulbs become huge and can, over time, produce 19 to 25 flowers, one right after the other, until they all open in a profusion of colour. A lady, who used to grow thousands in her backyard in Vancouver, told me it takes about two years for a small bulb to grow into a huge specimen, at which point it splits into four smaller ones. Small bulbs will produce five to seven flowers; mid-sized bulbs will have about a dozen blooms. I have learned the hard way that these bulbs love a sunny, well-drained, yet moist location, with average soil. One year we planted them in several shady spots, only to have them gradually

eatabout 400 extra calories per day. The moms in the study consumed more sugary drinks and had a higher fat intake. They also consumed fewer greens. They also exercised less. Fathers, on the other hand, showed no change compared childless men of the same age. While the study didn’t explore exactly why moms with young kids are at risk of packing on the pounds, there are a few possibilities. Below possible culprits for the extra pounds- and how to avoid them! Lack of time and energy to prepare healthy foods. Without a doubt, raising young kids demands a lot of time and energy. If your sleep is punctuated with late night calls from your little ones, or if simply keeping with your young ones leaves you drained, preparing a healthy meal for yourself may be the last thing on your mind. Unfortunately, turning to processed convenience food only compounds he problem. Filling the body with nutrient-poor foods will leave you feel-
ing even more fatigued and lethargic. On the other hand, fueling your body with nutritious foods will give you much more energy. The extra energy can be used to spend more time playing with your kids, getting your own workout Tanja in, and SHAW preparing your next healthy meal! Thankfully, with a little creativity, preparing healthy meals can be quick and easy. The slow cooker is a great tool to preparing nutritious options with little effort. Vegetables can be cooked quickly in a steamer or microwave. Salads can be prepared in 10 minutes or less. If you are really lacking time or energy, think ‘outside the meal’. Eggs on whole grain toast with a piece of fruit and glass of milk make a very nutritious supper. Cottage cheese or yogurt
with nuts and fruit are also a great choice. Not wanting to waste food. When reviewing one mom’s food journal, I found things like ‘a few bites of bread with Nutella’ and ‘a few spoonfulsof spaghetti’. A few bites here don’t seem like much, but they add up. Kids usually know when to stop eating, and it’s usually before they have finished everything on their plate. It’s not up to your jobto finish it off. Food is wasted whether it ends up in the garbage or it ends up on your hips. To prevent wasting food, serve smaller portions and refrigerate or freeze leftovers. Eating too much ‘kids’ food. Hot dogs, Kraft dinner, fish fingers and white noodles sprinkledwith cheese should not be staples in your diet, or your kid’s diet. Foods marketed to kids are generally high in sugar, sodium, and void of nutrients. While getting young kids to eat anything healthy can be a struggle, it’s a battle worth fighting.

time to move on from the BCWF. She took some much needed time off but as a go-getter, that didn’t last long. “I took on the position of executive director at the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce in November of last year. This coming September, the Chamber will mark 110 years in this community and the organization has had a successful run in that time. I certainly look at continuing that same success,” she said. Patti describes herself as a conservationist and business leader advocating for business as well as the environment. “I believe that we need to seek a balance between sustaining our environment and sustaining our economy and that we are all responsible for our planet and each other. In that regard, the Chamber’s next move for our policy committee will be to work with others to fight against the Metro’s P3 waste incinerator. Not only will it have the potential to significantly impact our air quality but there is no supportable case for this project. I am driven by respect for our province and Chilliwack and the desire to conserve all that makes BC such a remarkable place,” she said passionately. As a resident of the Chilliwack River Valley for the past 20 years, Patti appreciates what this region has to offer and looks forward to continuing her work in the area of economic and environmental sustainability.

Cultural Centre managing director Michael Cade announcing the 2012/13 schedule, which kicks off Sept. 29. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Something for everyone at the Cultural Centre The Progress It may be a little cliché, but there is literally something for everyone in the jam-packed lineup of entertainment coming to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. The 2012-13 season features 34 exciting shows in nine different series, says Michael Cade, the cultural centre’s artistic and managing director. That’s more than a dozen extra performances to be mounted this year. With that kind of varied and extensive artistic schedule, they’ve become “the largest nonfestival presenter” in the province, Cade tells The Progress. Launching the blockbuster season on Sept. 29 — which coincides with the Cultural
Centre’s second anniversary — will consist of a musical celebration with Canadian rockers, The Stampeders. “This show is really about celebrating classic Canadian rock.” It also fits in with the overarching goal of ensuring that Chilliwack residents have the “widest possible range of performing arts options” possible, he says. Four new exciting series are coming this way: the Film Series, Festival Series, Comedy and More Series, and the Music Concert Series, providing a little something for everyone. Look for super talented theatre performers, musicians, comedians, dance troupes, magicians, and the ever popular children’s theatre shows.
“The 34 shows represent the best entertainment available anywhere. We are thrilled to bring this to Chilliwack,” says Cade. With strong financial support in the way of grants and sponsors coming on board, they were able to include shows that would otherwise never come to Chilliwack, he points out. “We’re bringing in shows so people can see wonderful entertainment. At the end of the day, I don’t care if we break even. I just want the largest number of Chilliwack residents to see them.” He’s talking about the more out-there, wacky, and fringe-style offerings, for example, from slam poetry, or a one-man show on cancer. “This is really the kind of stuff

anything anyone wants to see.” From inspirational classical music and beautiful ballets, and mind blowing magic acts, a U.S. national Broadway touring musical to the fringe festival shows, there really will be something for all tastes. There are discounts available with series packages. Tickets for all shows through the Centre Box Office or www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca.

that has never come to Chilliwack before, and some of them are gems that are not for everyone. Some of these niche-oriented shows will be performed in the smaller, more intimate space of the Rotary Studio Hall with its 150 seats. “There’s real potential there for making a connection with the audience.” They specifically sought out the types of performances that might have been missing from the first two seasons when they put together the 2012-13 season. “It was strong audience support that has allowed us to expand the program,” Cade says. The average main stage audience last season had 483 people in attendance. “Now we pretty much have

The Progress The mural painted on the northeast wall of Prospera Centre Chilliwack is now ready to be signed by all the project participants. Artists from the Fraser Valley Brain Injury Association spent weeks working on the colourful project, under the guidance of
artist John Le Flock. The new mural highlights a message of safety and inclusiveness during physical activity, and all of the figures have helmets on and are wearing safety equipment. “We’re almost there,” said Esther Tremblay, case manager with FVBIA, about the Pay It Forward project. A mural signing session for
the artists is set for Aug. 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the mural site, and the public is invited to attend. “Everyone who has worked on the mural will be there sign it,” she added. A celebratory cake will be shared to mark the completion of the project, Tremblay said. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/CHWKjourno

Casting call for Christmas Carol Theatre Junkies Anonymous seeks local talent for new adaptation The production calls for a smaller cast of about 12 actors, but Kirkley guarantees that can be just as much fun as a big cast. “I love small casts because of the friendship, laughter and just pure joy of working so closely with such a tight group of people,” he says. The show is a theatre for young audiences production, meaning that it is intended for families and people of all ages.
“That’s what makes Theatre Junkies so special,” says Kirkley, “It’s the only company in the valley doing the kind of theatre that you can always bring your kids to. Plus, it’s a lot of fun to act in as well.” For more information and to book an audition time, visit w w w. t h e a t r e j u n k i e sanonymous.com or call Megan at 604-6135584.

The story of the 2013 Mazda CX-5 began in 2005 when Mazda began mapping out its long-term strategy in a post-Ford world. This is how the car business works. What you see in showrooms today was conceived long ago. SkyActiv, the buzzword Mazda is using to describe the company’s comprehensive take on improving fuel economy and reducing emissions in vehicles that remain fun to drive, is all about “wiping the slate clean,” says Mazda senior engineer Dave Coleman, the self-described Director of Technobabble. “No more parts-bin engineering,” he adds. By that he means this: The CX-5 and all that comes next from Mazda represent what you might call a holistic approach to vehicle development. Everything you will see from Mazda going forward, from the powertrains to the platforms, from the designs to engineering top to bottom – all if it is about “squeezing maximum efficiency from existing technologies.” Yeah, but why should you care? You’re not a technogeek. But if you’re like 300,000 other Canadians or so, you will be buying a compact SUV of some sort this year or next year or the year after, each and every year. Canadians love their compact SUVs; sales here account for 17 per cent of the entire new-vehicle market and just in the last two years have doubled. So you are very likely to want something along the lines of a Honda CR-V, Hyundai Tucson, Ford Escape, Chevrolet Equinox, Kia Sportage, Toyota RAV4 and Nissan Rogue. If you are a Mazda owner, you will likely be moving up from a Mazda3, although Mazda wants you if you are a for-
mer Honda Civic or Ford Focus owner, too. If that’s you, the base version of the CX-5, the GX with front-wheel-drive, starts at $22,995. The volume model, the GS, lists for $27,895 and the top-of-the-line GT starts at $32,495. All are well equipped, but of course, as you pay more you get more. AWD, for instance, is a $2,000 option on GX and GS models, standard on the GT. Most importantly to Mazda, the CX-5 offers the “best highway fuel economy of any SUV sold in Canada – including hybrids:” 7.8 litres/100 km in the city, 5.7 highway for front-drive models with the six-speed manual transmission. Front-drivers with the six-speed automatic get 7.7 city/6.1 highway and with AWD and the automatic, 8.0 city/6.4 highway. Using regular gas across the board. Mazda, then, is taking aim at the heart of the new-vehicle market in Canada with a crossover that is very capable, looks sharp and is fun-todrive. All at an appealing price. If Mazda gets this right, the CX-5 will not be a niche player. You’re going to see them all over your neighbourhood. The CX-5 is, for the present, the future of Mazda. It’s Mazda going all in for the first time with SkyActiv fuel-saving technologies. For instance, there is a new global platform architecture here, and it is 8 per cent lighter and 30 per cent more rigid than the company’s previous small-car architecture. Most interesting, I think, is that this small-car architecture has yielded a fuel-efficient crossover that not only isn’t a bore to drive, but is almost as big as the current Mazda CX-7. SkyActiv at work.
Speaking of which, the heart of it, really, is Mazda’s new Skyactiv-G direct-injected, 2.0-litre, inline- four-cylinder gasoline engine. Director Technobabble had a long and detailed presentation to explain why this engine is so good, so strong, and so efficient and if you must know, the essence of it all is the 13:1 compression ratio using regular gas. Those who care about compression ratios will know that’s a pretty good number for an everyday car. If you could not care less, suffice to say the 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque are all there and pretty quickly. This Mazda is no slug. And thanks to some fancy engine plumbing, the power comes on smoothly, without any knocking or hesitation. All very impressive. Then there’s the new automatic transmission. Delicious. Again, only a geek would care why the shifts are so good (the torque converter is basically on the job only during gear changes) but let me tell you, up-shifts are smooth and downshifts are rev-matched. They are seriously snappy, too. As is the overall handling of the CX-5. Meanwhile, the exterior design is an eye-grabber and the cabin is roomy, intelligently useful and airy. Outward visibility is exceptional, rearseat room is good for adults and the big cargo area expands thanks to near-flat folding rear seatback. As family haulers go, the CX-5 looks like a winner. No, that’s damning with faint praise. Mazda, in fact, has just thrown down the gauntlet in this segment. The competition should start tearing down CX-5s ASAP.

Chiefs, Sally-Ann team up to help local food bank Golf tourney set for Sept. 27 The Chilliwack Chiefs and Chilliwack Salvation Army have joined forces for a fundraising golf tournament filled with fun, prizes, and surprises. The inaugural tournament, being held on Sept. 27, is a fundraiser for the Salvation Army to purchase a much-needed transport truck for its food bank program. With a few twists added to the mix, this Texasscramble style tournament isn’t going to be your typical golfing affair. Instead of ending the tournament with a full steak dinner as is the norm, this one will be starting with the steak dinner. And if that’s not enough, there will also be several more food stations along the course. There’s also going to be a variety of games, four hole-in-one prizes, and a super prize awarded to the golfer closest to the pin on the No. 9 Chiefs’ Hole. And the full Chilliwack Chiefs team – including head coach Harvey Smyl – and other special guests will be spread out over the 18 holes. The event is being held on Sept. 27 at Chilliwack Golf and Country Club. Lunch is from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and a shotgun start at 1:30 p.m. Registration is $150. For more information, or to register, contact the Chilliwack Chiefs at 604-392-4433.

Crusaders host rugby ruckus
Chilliwack’s Crusaders host their fifth annual Sasquatch 10’s Rugby Tournament Saturday at CFB Chilliwack, located at 45200 Keith Wilson Road. Thirteen teams are making the trip, including far-off crews from Banff (Alberta), Bellingham (Washington State) and Williams Lake.
For the uninitiated, rugby is a full contact sport played by two teams of fifteen players for 45 minute halves. Tournaments can vary, and Chilliwack’s will be 10 a side with 10 minute halves. Some tournaments go seven a side with seven minute halves. In any case, the object is to carry the ball across the opponent’s try line and touch the ball down for a five point score. Players may also score three points by drop-kicking the ball through the uprights, and the team with the most points at the end of the game wins. Chilliwack’s tournament begins at 9 a.m. and ends around 5 p.m.

three kilometres long (on class one rapids), an the sprint course covered 300 metres (over class three whitewater). In Slalom kayaking, paddlers maneuvered through an obstacle course of gates hung above the river. They were timed from start to finish, with time added on for each touched or missed gate. In each of these races, paddlers used a single kayak, single canoe or double canoe. British Columbia didn’t have a lot of representation at the CWNC, but the results were stellar. Sam Fletcher was sixth in the single canoe class, seventh in the downriver classic (roughly three kilometres) and sprint kayak (300 metres) and 11th in singles kayak slalom. Chilliwack Centre of Excellence coach Jon Allen finished fourth in the senior kayak sprint, sixth in the single canoe, eighth in kayak slalom and ninth in the classic.

Chilliwack’s Jazmyne Denhollander proved once more that she’s the fastest female kayaker in the country, taking top spot at the Canadian Whitewater National Championships. The CWNC were held Aug. 9-12 in Salaberryde-Valleyfield, Quebec. In the junior race on Saturday, Denhollander cut through the rapids to win by nine seconds. On Sunday, she came back to take the senior race, the third time the young paddler has laid claim to the national championship. Denhollander won’t officially be a senior paddler (18-and-over) until next year, but her performances have her on the radar for the 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. The CWNC featured several different races using a variety of boats. In downriver racing, paddlers had to navigate the rapids as fast as possible from start to finish.

The case for sports
Cascades give Cavs a battle
The Chilliwack Chiefs are about to start another season, and assistant coach Paul Nicolls remains very busy. In his latest bi-weekly column, the Xceed Training owner/operator talks about the many benefits of sports to children. It really should go without saying how beneficial playing sports can be for children. And yet, some parents don’t rank it high on their priority list. Here are a few reasons why they should reconsider. Research has shown that kids involved in active play are more likely to have a better self image and are less likely to be overweight. In an era where rates of juvenile diabetes and childhood obesity are increasing, this can’t be understated. Research also shows kids taking part in sports are less prone to take drugs or smoke, because they realize the impact these destructive habits have on performance. Along the same path, sports places kids in a group with shared interests and positive goals. Keeping kids away from the ‘wrong crowd’ and on the ‘right path’ is perhaps the biggest benefit of all. Physical activities are a good way to relieve stress or reduce depression. For kids who are overwhelmed by school or home life, for kids who are hounded by depression, sports can be a life-preserver. Sports help kids develop discipline, which can help them perform better academically. They learn to set goals and work towards achieving those goals. In time, they understand that by working hard they can accomplish the things they want most in their lives. Motor skills, strategic thinking, and even math skills are advanced by playing sports. Students develop strategic thinking as they figure out plays and ways to get around a player or score a goal. Math skills are enhanced as they calculate scores, stats (and future signing bonuses - kidding). Statistics back these things up. The numbers show that kids involved in sports while in high school are more likely to experience academic success, and more likely to graduate. Sports help develop teamwork and leadership skills. Kids quickly learn that they have to work together as a team to win. Kids who play sports soon discover that sometimes you win and sometimes you lose, and they have to be a good sport with either outcome. It also helps them learn to deal with disappointment as they move forward. On a corresponding note, coaching kids can be one of life’s most rewarding experiences. Teaching and mentoring youngsters as they develop is a vital service coaches provide. Some kids do not have many positive role models in their lives and may not get the attention and discipline they need or desire. Coaches sometimes fail to remember that what they say can have long term positive or negative effects on kids. All coaches occasionally need to be reminded of the importance of these fundamental values, and to first and foremost make the game fun for the benefit of all involved.

PLANNING A WEDDING? W Then this is a must! v STuesday, September 25 v
Have you ever wondered why Canadians write “honour” and the Americans write “honor”? It seems as though Canadians enjoy ending their words with “our”. The person responsible for this is Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. On June 12, 1890 he said “... therefore recommends the issue of instructions to the effect that in all official documents ... the English practice be uniformly followed ... what is the mode now accepted by the best authorities in England and the best dictionaries and encyclopedias now in use in England ...” All that to say, “If England uses “our” instead of “or”, then so does Canada.

✞ Obituaries KOOP Agness Anora
Agnes, wife of Jacob Martin Koop, went to be with her Lord at the Bradley Center in Chilliwack, KOOP BC on August 2, 2012. She was born April 10, 1925 and accepted the Lord as her Saviour August 1, 1938 and was later baptized. She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She is remembered for her hard work on the farm, love and hospitality for her whole family, Christian service, prayer life and love for the Bible. She was predeceased by many relatives and friends and in particular her son Wesley; daughter, Phyllis and great-grandson, “Nugget” Williams. She is survived by her husband, Jake; children: Kris (Daryl) Isaac, Carol (Rod) Isaac, Dale Koop; son-in-law, Dave Popowich; seven grandchildren and their spouses; three great-grandchildren; brother Ed Dirks; sister Verna Voth; brother-in-law, Art Peters; and her nieces and nephews. A burial at Chilliwack Cemeteries was followed by a celebration of her life in the Tea Room at Henderson’s Funeral Home, led by Rev. Leon Throness. Special thanks to Dr. Bull and the wonderful staff at the Bradley Center. And, Henderson’s Funeral Home who took care of the arrangements. Above all, thanks to God for His faithfulness to Agnes and for the “hope” we have in Christ that we see her again “in the morning.”
SLOAT Grace
The peaceful passing of Grace Sloat took place at the Bradley Center amongst caring staff at 10:00 pm on Saturday, August 12, 2012. Grace was an active and well-loved resident of Chilliwack living with husband Norman on Second Ave. She lived among neighbours who were like family. She was born in Kelliher, SK, as one of seven children but is only survived by her sister Betty Samuelson. Although Grace was ill for several years she was regularly and daily attended by daughters, Carol Sloat and Sandy Wilheim. What was a long period of time turned into a strong loving family bond which will be cherished by both forever. Deeply missing her will be many grandchildren, greatgrandchildren and sons of Dwayne and Sam. Arrangements for a memorial gathering will be announced in this paper soon.
STREET M. H. “Bert”
REINER Hilda
November 24, 1917 – August 6, 2012 Mervin Herbert “Bert” Street, age 94, passed away peacefully on Monday August 6, 2012 STREET at Glenwood Care Centre in Agassiz. He was born November 24, 1917 in Chilliwack where he lived his entire life. Bert grew up in Atchelitz where he worked the family farm. He met and married Eileen Edmondson in 1954 and in 1956, they moved to the Edmondson family farm in Sardis. He lived there with Eileen until a year ago when his declining health required his placement in Glenwood Care Centre. Bert worked as Grounds Foreman for the Chilliwack School District for 25 years. He retired in 1982 and enjoyed his retirement to the fullest. He was happiest in his vegetable garden leaning on his hoe chatting with a neighbour and waiting for the next weed that might dare to pop up. If you couldn’t find him in his garden then you could always find him in his workshop, whistling away building a bird house or one of his many wood creations. Predeceased by daughter, Sally in 1967. Bert is survived by Eileen, his wife of 58 years; sister, Babe; daughters: Norma (Lou), Debbie and Dee (Ferdie); grandchildren: Lisa, Heather, Shiloh, Jordan and Caleb and his adopted family Bob, Shelagh, Kimberly (Tyler) and Zachary. Bert is also survived by his extended family, Lorne, Della, Ross, Brad, Ken and their families. Bert’s family would like to thank the staff at Glenwood Centre for their wonderful, kind caring of Bert and to Dr. Markey and Dr. MacIntosh for their care and support. There will be no Service at Bert’s request. Donations to the Alzheimer’s Society may be made in his honour. Bert loved to laugh and have fun. His generous, kind, gentle, quiet manner made him loved by all who knew him.
(nee Marek) Hilda Reiner (nee Marek) joined the Saints Triumphant August 14, 2012 after more than REINER 92 years in this life. Born June 4, 1920 in Lavesta, Alberta, received as God’s child in Baptism, and was confirmed in her faith by her future husband, Rev Albert F. Reiner. They were blessed with three children. Hilda was a dedicated pastor’s wife in seven parishes in Alberta and B.C. often as organist, choir director, Sunday school teacher and hospitality hostess. She was also a talented seamstress, consummate sales lady and became an enthusiastic leader for cruises and bus-tours. After 55 years of marriage, her husband, and later son Walter, and sister Rosie preceded her in death. Left to remember: daughter Faith (Jim Higgins), son Theodore (another Hilda), daughter-in-law Joyce, sisters Lillian, Adeline, Mildred, Beatrice, Olive, brother Chester, three grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and a host of other friends and acquaintances. She will also be sadly missed by a life-long friend and sister-in-law Nettie Schlatter and adopted nephew Herb Schuler (Sonia). A resident of Vernon’s Canterbury Court and most recently Noric House, Hilda would have noted special thanks for their love and care. A Memorial Service will be held at First Lutheran Church, 4091 Lakeshore Road in Kelowna on Monday, August 20, 2012 at 11:30 am. In lieu of flowers memorials may be given to Lutheran Historical Institute 7100 Ada Boulevard Edmonton, AB T5B4E4 or Concordia Lutheran Seminary 7040 Ada Boulevard Edmonton, AB T5B-4E3.
