Freeze new salmon farms on sockeye migration route: Cohen Jeff Nagel Black Press

The Cohen Inquiry is urging an immediate eight-year freeze on new net-pen salmon farms in the Discovery Islands between northern Vancouver Island and the B.C. mainland. Farms in that area should be prohibited outright in 2020 if the Department of Fisheries and Oceans cannot confidently say by then the risk to wild salmon from aquaculture there is minimal, the inquiry’s three-volume report says, and the ban should be immediate if evidence of elevated risk arises sooner. No single culprit – not fish farms, overfishing, pollution, natural predators or global warming – gets primary blame for the two-decade decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon. And while retired Justice Bruce Cohen said he saw “no smoking gun” in the evidence he heard, key recommendations aim to limit the possible threat from aquaculture. “Mitigation measures should not be delayed in the absence of scientific certainty,” Cohen said, adding farms in the Discovery Islands of Johnstone Strait have potential to introduce exotic diseases and aggravate existing ones in wild fish. He also recommended DFO no longer be charged with promoting the salmon farming industry to prevent “divided loyalties” or conflicts of interest from compromising its duty to defend wild fish. “As long as DFO has a mandate to promote salmon farming, there is a risk that it will act in a manner that favours the interests of the salmon farming industry over the health of wild stocks.” Critics have repeatedly accused DFO of siding with the aquaculture industry while failing to protect wild stocks amid Continued: COHEN/ p4

Boy hailed a hero after saving grandpa Seven-year-old Evan Rapp is being hailed as a hero by police after he saved his grandpa’s life Saturday morning with a call to 9-1-1. In a recording of the call released by police, the boy tells the operator he and his grandpa were driving to the bank, when he suddenly pulled off the road, started to shake violently and sweat, and then lost consciousness. “I don’t know what to do,” the little boy says. “I’m really worried.” But Chilliwack RCMP say the boy had wit enough to use

his grandfather’s cell phone to call 9-1-1 and give the operator enough information to guide a police officer to his location. “This little boy is truly a hero,” said RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth. When word broke of the young boy’s heroic effort, media descended on the family’s home. “It was an interesting feeling,” said father Brian Rapp about the experience. “Not sure if it’s sunk in quite yet. It’s pretty cool.” The incident began at around 9:30 Saturday morning when the grandfather, George Epp, was

FVRD charges ‘highly toxic’ ash dumped at Cache Creek BC Environment Minister Terry Lake orders investigation Robert Freeman The Progress

B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake has ordered an investigation into “potentially” hazardous material from a Burnaby wasteto-energy facility dumped at the Cache Creek landfill. But Lake said in a news release that there is “nothing to indicate any risk whatsoever to human health or environmental safety.” “This is a non-compliance issue, and ministry staff continue to work with Metro Vancouver to ensure all environmental standards are being met,” he said.

But Fraser Valley Regional District chair Sharon Gaetz said if there is no health risk, why did the minister order the 1,800 tonnes of fly ash moved to a disposal site in Alberta. “If it’s not toxic or hazardous, why move it?” she said. Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta also wants the fly ash removed. He said the landfill isn’t licensed to accept hazardous waste and it was “simply wrong” for it to be sent there, putting landfill workers and the local environment at risk. “An inappropriate substance has been deposited in there,”

memo instructing staff to refrain from talking about the incident, unless specifically asked by the media. “We were furious,” Gaetz said, about the memo. “This is the open and transparent process we were promised?” She said the incident backs up the FVRD’s fear that wasteto-energy facilities will produce a “toxic soup” that can’t be controlled. “That’s demonstrated by this stuff coming out of Burnaby,” she said. The FVRD has been at odds with Metro Vancouver over garbage disposal ever since a proposal to build more waste-to-energy

he said. “Whoever is responsible should have the material removed.” Fly ash is the residue caught by air scrubbers in the emissions produced by garbage incineration. Gaetz said the “highly toxic” material was found in tests conducted by the FVRD after two compliance reports by the Burnaby incinerator operator were missing for July and August. She said the FVRD test results showed toxic levels “six times higher” than what is normally permitted. She said the FVRD also obtained a Metro Vancouver

facilities to incinerate non-recyclable garbage was put on the table. FVRD officials complained to the minister that the Fraser Valley, which would receive the worst of the air emissions, was not being consulted by Metro Vancouver. Now Gaetz is again charging Metro Vancouver is not responding to FVRD environmental concerns — and that Lake is doing nothing about it. “Frankly, we expected more from the Ministry of Environment, whose role it is to safeguard the environment and ensure that their own regulations are enforced,” she said. “Instead, the FVRD is leading the charge.” - with files from Jeff Nagel rfreeman@theprogress.com

Protesters call for end to omnibus bill

Pipeline protesters are hoping to send a chill down Conservative MP Mark Strahl’s spine with a Halloween demo outside his Chilliwack constituency office Wednesday, “This is a fun event, but the issues we raise are very serious,” Sheila Muxlow, a member of the PIPE UP Network, said in a news release. At issue, she said, are Strahl’s

support for the Conservative government’s approval of expanding tar sands operations, and the use of an omnibus bill to “dismantle environmental laws and support foreign corporate interests.” Muxlow said Strahl declined an invitation to speak at the noonhour demo. “We wanted to put Mark Strahl on notice that he must be accountable to our local interests and not

to just his party’s policies,” she said. Those policies include lowering environmental hurdles for pipeline projects like the Kinder Morgan proposal to expand the Trans Mountain pipeline, which runs through the Fraser Valley, crossing waterways and Chilliwack’s underground water supply.

Seasonal influenza clinics are proceeding in B.C. after use of one of the vaccines was briefly suspended for further testing. Health Canada announced Wednesday that Novartismade vaccines have been approved for use in Canada and Europe after an investigation of one batch in Europe. B.C. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the suspension was precautionary and related to effectiveness, and there is no safety concern. There are dedicated flu vaccination clinics at public health units, family doctors and pharmacists. To find the nearest clinic, use the flu clinic locator at www.immunizebc.ca or call Healthlink BC at 8-1-1. The annual influenza vaccination gives priority to higherrisk patients such as seniors and those with chronic diseases, who receive the vaccine at no charge. Seasonal influenza is a severe respiratory illness that is responsible for hundreds of deaths in B.C. each year. Because influenza is spread through sneezing, coughing and contact with contaminated surfaces, B.C. regulations have been changed to require all employees in health facilities or other contact points with highrisk groups to either get the influenza shot or wear a mask.

Fisher y obser vers predict more trouble ahead for already struggling salmon runs in B.C. if Fisheries and Oceans Canada goes ahead with leaked plans to eliminate a third of its habitat biologists in the Pacific region. DFO’s fisheries protection branch would be slashed from 90 to 60 workers, according to internal documents. “A few years ago they had 120, so we’re looking at a 50 per cent reduction,” said Otto Langer, a former DFO biologist

and habitat assessment manager. The cuts are part of a broader move by Ottawa to balance the budget in part through reduced spending in the federal civil service. But Langer said fewer front-line scientists will leave salmon in B.C. rivers and streams dangerously exposed to ecological damage from pollution, development and other threats, such as disease and overfishing. “I think they’re trying to save industry from any hassles in getting approvals,” he said, calling it a reflection of the “anti-science, anti-environment”

bent of the Harper government as new oil pipelines are pursued as a national priority. Langer said the ability to protect the environment will be further hit because many senior biologists are to be offered buyouts or transfers and be replaced with more junior ones. “You’re probably losing 33 per cent of your staff and probably 80 per cent of your experience.” A large habitat protection office in New Westminster would be eliminated and other offices and staff would be cut upstream along the Fraser River, he said. Plans to reduce DFO’s budget by approximately five per cent were leaked more than a year ago, but

few observers expected the hit to be so heavily focused on habitat biologists. Watershed Watch Salmon Society executive director Craig Orr said the cuts come after earlier federal moves this year to loosen environmental assessment rules and weaken the fish habitat protections contained in the Fisheries Act. “There’s going to be far fewer people in the federal government to look after fish habitat,” Orr said. “It seems to be part of a larger mandate of government to downgrade environmental protection.” DFO representatives could not be reached for comment Monday. Federal staffing levels

were raised as a concern at the Cohen Inquiry into the decline of Fraser River sockeye salmon. Evidence from DFO memos showed some staff in Interior field offices had been warning for years they were unable to keep pace with proposed developments that could threaten habitat and they could no longer pursue lesser violations that would have previously been prosecuted. One report on habitat enforcement tabled with the inquiry showed the number of patrols, sites checked and violations observed plunged at least 75 per cent each after previous DFO staff cuts were imposed in 2005.

years of budget cuts and mismanagement. The industry contends it has been the victim of a vendetta by environmentalists who have alleged farm-linked virus infections in B.C. salmon that federal food inspectors have refuted. If Cohen’s recommendations are followed, existing farms in the Discovery Islands could continue operations – unless the fisheries minister decides before 2020 that they pose a “more than minimal risk of serious harm” to migrating Fraser sockeye. DFO should draw up new siting criteria for fish farms that take into account Fraser sockeye migration routes and latest evidence on the risks to them, Cohen said. “If existing salmon farms that do not comply with revised siting criteria they should be promptly removed or relocated.” B.C. Salmon Farming Association spokesman Stewart Hawthorn said only five of 70 B.C. salmon farms are located in the Discovery Islands and predicted the recommendations

will have very limited impact on the industry. “He’s particularly concerned about one small area,” he said. “We’re very happy to do more research there. Our farming practices are second to none. While the inquiry findings were being prepared, the federal government this year significantly downgraded habitat protection laws and is now planning cuts to front-line DFO biologists. Cohen warned Ottawa further cuts to DFO are dangerous to B.C.’s iconic salmon species and run counter to his key finding that much more research is needed. “The shrinking resources of government, which may result in delays in implementing reforms and research, mean that the stressors to which sockeye are exposed and the deterioration of sockeye habitat will continue,” he said in the report. He also criticized Ottawa’s move to alter the environmental assessment process for major projects like oil pipelines. Cohen called last spring’s legislative amendments “troubling” and said they appear to take

DFO “in a very different direction” from the advice of many experts in the field to protect fish habitat, promote biodiversity and adopt ecosystem-based management. The report says sources of stress specific to the Fraser – such as pollution and development – have likely played a role in the decline. But he said troubled fisheries beyond the Fraser system suggest regional factors likely in marine waters play a big role. “I heard enough evidence about warming waters to conclude that climate change is a significant stressor for sockeye and in combination with other stressors, may determine the fate of the fishery.” Cohen also urged the implementation of the 25-year-old Wild Salmon Policy and provisions for no net loss of habitat. Leading conservationists said they would have preferred an immediate aquaculture ban but most hailed the report. “He obviously didn’t hear enough to say ‘Get the nets out of the water,’” said Georgia Strait Alliance executive director

Christianne Wilhelmson. “But I think he came pretty close to saying that.” She said the report offers a “solid plan” to restore Fraser salmon runs – if the federal government implements it and stops gutting research and habitat protection provisions. “We have an ecologically ignorant federal government right now, so I’m wary,” Wilhelmson said. “Anyone who has skin in the game of sockeye salmon on the Fraser River has to put public pressure on this government in Ottawa to make sure this report gets legs and keeps moving,” added Sto:lo fisheries advisor Ernie Crey said. “Or else it will surely sit on a shelf.” The inquiry heard from more than 170 witnesses and sifted through more than 2,000 reports or other pieces of evidence. Cohen was appointed by the federal government after less than 1.5 million sockeye returned in 2009, far fewer than the more than 10 million expected.

Serial killers should bunk alone, inquest says Robert Freeman The Progress

Serial killers will no longer share a jail cell with criminals convicted of less serious crimes, if the Correctional Service of Canada accepts a recommendation handed down by a coroner’s jury Wednesday. The recommendation is one of five made by the jury of three men and two women following an inquest this week into the death of Jeremy Phillips, who was found dead in his jail cell at Mountain Institution Nov. 22, 2010. Michael Wayne McGray, a self-proclaimed sociopath and convicted killer of six, was Phillips’ cellmate at the time. McGray had been transferred out of Kent prison, a maximum-security facility, to the medium-security facility where he was double-bunked with Phillips. The coroner’s jury asked the Correctional Service to “consider a mandatory single accommodation arrangement for multiple murderers” unless there is evidence and an assessment that “a shared accommodation is both safe and practical.” However, according to an earlier media

report, a prison official testified at the inquest that before the transfer McGray was indeed reforming and was committed to his correctional plan. A Correctional Ser vice spokesman said any response to the recommendations would have to come from Ottawa, but that didn’t happen before The Progress deadline Wednesday. A spokesperson for the B.C. Coroner’s Office said officials there could not comment publicly on the jur y’s recommendations. A coroner’s jury cannot make findings of fault or blame, but can make recommendations aimed at preventing similar deaths in the future. McGray, 45. pleaded guilty to killing his 33-year-old cellmate, and coldly told a Chilliwack court that he was “100 percent guilty of planning and committing this murder.” “I just want to wrap this up,” he said. “I don’t need to talk to a lawyer. In fact, I refuse. I don’t want to talk to a lawyer.” McGrath told police after his arrest that Phillips wanted to stage a hostage-taking incident so he could be sent to the infirmary, and so McGrath could go back

to Kent prison. He said Phillips “gave him a hug” before setting the plan in motion, and then lay face down on the cot so he could be tied up. But instead of the hostage-taking plan, McGrath said he became angr y and strangled Phillips for

about five minutes, and then punched him once in the head to make sure he wasn’t faking death. He said he had to kill Phillips “very quietly” because a correctional service officer was only 23 feet away. The coroner’s jury also recommended the

Correctional Service consider: • tasking assistant wardens with ensuring recommendations by a board of investigations are followed; • making available to all line staff all information regarding inmates prior to an approved transfer;

• authorizing wardens to make exceptions to the wait list for single cells in order to move more dangerous offenders into them, or to delay the transfer until a single cell is available; • reviewing a policy regarding flashlight intensity and explore

alternate technologies to detect inmates’ body heat. McGrath said he killed Phillips at about 10:15 p.m. and covered him to make it look like he was sleeping. Phillips’ body was not discovered until 12 hours later. rfreeman@theprogress.com

B.C. MLAs post travel expense totals online Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – B.C.’s 85 MLAs have begun

disclosing their travel expenses, posting total amounts charged on their government-issued credit cards but not the details

21st century in response to a damning report from Auditor General John Doyle released in July. The audit found that

MLA credit card bills were being paid without receipts, and the legislative assembly hadn’t produced financial state-

Management Committee, chaired by Speaker and Penticton MLA Bill Barisoff, began holding its meetings in public. Two new financial officers were hired to address what Doyle described as “pervasive deficiencies” in financial accountability of legislature operations. The management committee authorized the first release Wednesday, showing six months of expenditures for each MLA up to the end of September. The report breaks spending down in categories, including accommodation, daily meal allowance and three categories of travel. MLAs representing districts farthest from Victoria generally run up the highest expenses. Leading the pack in the first report is Robin Austin, NDP MLA for Skeena, with $53,606 in expenses from April to September. Austin’s total includes $19,486 in “Speaker approved travel,” including a trip to Colombo, Sri Lanka in September to attend a Commonwealth Parliamentar y Association conference. Speakers, deputy speakers and legislative clerks typically attend these conferences, aimed at strengthening parliamentary practices around the world. Routine expenses include the “capital city allowance,” for which most MLAs who live outside Greater Victoria claim $1,000 a month without receipts. With receipts, out-of-town MLAs can claim up to $19,000 a year for rent, mortgage or hotel accommodation while in Victoria on legislature business. MLAs are also eligible for $61 a day for meals while in Victoria on legislature business. MLA expenses are to be posted quarterly at www.leg.bc.ca/mla/ remuneration/travel_ expenses.htm where the first reports are posted. Cabinet minister travel expenses are reported separately on the B.C. government’s “open government” website initiated by Premier Christy Clark. They receive similar accommodation and meal payments, but they are paid by their ministries and do not show up on the new disclosures.

Motorists are being urged to drive with extra caution as they adjust to the fall time change that brings darker evening commutes, often along with worse weather and visibility. The turning back of the clocks at the end of Daylight Savings Time (DST) on Saturday night (Nov. 3) in theory gives an extra hour of sleep, but an ICBC survey found 30 per cent of drivers squander it by staying up later. That can worsen drivers’ concentration, alertness behind the wheel and reaction time to hazards. “There is a 10 per cent increase in the average number of crashes in the Lower Mainland during the late afternoon commute in the two weeks following the end of DST compared to the two weeks prior to the change,” ICBC psychologist Dr. John Vavrik said. “We rationalize that extra hour – many of us think that since we’re going to get an additional hour of sleep we can stay awake longer or drive home later, but we actually end up feeling more tired and less alert,” Vavrik said. Sleep quality can also be disrupted due to more nighttime restlessness, he added.

19th Annual

Smart meter installation program nearly completed

Gift, Craft & Antique Fair

Saturday November 3rd from 9am-5:30pm & Sunday November 4th from 11am-4pm

Tom Fletcher Black Press

BC Hydro is getting close to the end of its installation of 1.7 million wireless electricity meters, but the “smart grid” won’t be functional until next spring. Until then, meters will still be read manually or consumption estimated for billing purposes. And for one more winter storm season, people will still have to call BC Hydro to report a power outage, before the grid begins automatic metering and reporting of electrical failures. Cindy Verschoor, BC Hydro’s communications manager for the smart meter program, said about four per cent of the meter installations remain to be done, mainly on the Gulf Islands. Some of the old meters remain in locations around the province, either because they are inaccessible or because owners have refused new ones. Manual meter readings will be checked against automatic readings during the testing phase, to verify accuracy. Verschoor said there have been six meters replaced due to inaccurate readings or other defects, but generally the new meters are more accurate, and they eliminate human errors in reading or entering data required for mechanical meters.

Visit one of the most popular shows in the Valley! “All of our meters have to be certified by Measurement Canada, which is a consumer protection agency, just like the pump at the gas station and the scale at the grocery store,” she said. While BC Hydro owns the meter, the base and connections are part of the owner’s electrical system and can be placed anywhere. In some cases, garages or decks have been built over meters, and if they can’t be read, the bill is based on an estimate until a wireless meter is installed. Verschoor said only two customers out of more than one million have opted to have the meter located away from their home. Those who refuse for whatever reason have their installation placed “on hold” while their concerns are addressed by BC Hydro. After media reports of fires

associated with the program, BC Hydro commissioned a study of residential fire reports by Surrey Fire Chief Len Garis and researcher Joseph Clare. It shows that electrical fires have declined since the installation of new meters began. Damaged meter sockets are usually the owner’s responsibility, but BC Hydro inspects them at the time of installation and offers to fix them at no charge if they are damaged. So far, 1,200 meter bases have been replaced. A house fire in Mission last spring took place three days after a smart meter was installed. Verschoor said the fire is still under investigation by the B.C. Safety Authority, but the meter has been ruled out as a cause. Despite media reports to the contrary, there have been no fires attributed to smart meters, she said.

Virtually every MLA’s office in B.C. was targeted by protesters on Wednesday – including Chilliwack MLA John Les – as opposition to the Northern Gateway pipeline intensifies. These protests follow a protest outside the Parliament Buildings in Victoria last Monday, Oct. 22. The level of opposition to the pipeline project continues to mount. Opposition crosses almost all divides, be they political, age, gender or geographic. While it seems unlikely that Northern Gateway will proceed, given not just the massive opposition but also an almost complete lack of support from First Nations. Unfortunately, they seem to be ignoring another looming policy decision that may have even more of an effect on B.C. resource projects. The federal government is about to ratify a Canada-China investment treaty. While the treaty grants some additional rights to Canadian companies doing business in China, it also grants sweeping additional authority to Chinese companies in Canada. Details of this treaty have not been debated in the House of Commons and don’t have to be. While the opposition is now mounting a campaign against the treaty, the government points out the opposition has had four opposition days since the treaty was tabled and ignored it on each occasion. It would be nice to know what actual powers this treaty will grant China and Chinese companies in Canada. If Northern Gateway were turned down, for example, and it was proposed by a Chinese company, what kind of recourse would it have? How are disputes to be resolved? What kind of compensation is due to a Chinese company that feels it hasn’t received fair treatment from a provincial or local government? And how do state-owned Chinese companies fit into the puzzle? The agreement may be very benign and not have the negative impact that some people are suggesting. The trouble is, no one really knows. Many Chinese companies are very interested in Canadian resources. Citizens need to know how this treaty will affect the ability of Canadian governments to make decisions affecting those resources. ~ Black Press

There’s little new in B.C. Liberal renewal

WHISTLER – B.C. Liberal delegates gathered for their convention on the weekend at the Chateau Whistler, the same luxury hotel where Gordon Campbell fired up the troops in 2008. Back then the advertising slogan was “Keep BC Strong.” Unveiled at Premier Christy Clark’s pre-election pep rally: “Together. Building BC.” This slight change hints at the big difference. Campbell led a front-running party to a third straight majority, while Clark is a struggling underdog pleading for unity to turn back an NDP tsunami. Hence “Free Enterprise Friday,” a discussion open to non-party members. Clark began with an upbeat speech urging party members to “reach out our arms, open the tent and be as big as we can possibly be.” So did they? Dashing between

three concurrent sessions, I missed a fair amount of it, but there were some provocative suggestions to appeal to those inclined to support the resurgent B.C. Conservatives. An accountant spoke to a packed room about the growing unfunded liability of public sector pensions, most of which are Tom still of the “defined FLETCHER benefit” variety. Based on bond interest rates that have since sunk to all-time lows, these government-guaranteed pensions are now a free ride for those lucky enough to have them, funded by the taxes of private sector workers who in many cases have no pension plan at all. There was talk of passing a law that all new public sector hires be

restricted to a “defined contribution” plan where the employee and employer contribute equally and the pension is based on what those contributions yield. This would provoke the mother of all confrontations with the B.C. Federation of Labour, but there was no evidence yet that this is going beyond the talking stage. The resolutions continued the theme of confronting the labour movement, ritual combat that seems to be an inescapable part of B.C. elections. Delegates passed two motions, one calling for public sector unions to disclose what they spend on salaries, political activities and lobbying, and another advocating a ban on unions spending compulsory dues on political campaigns. This is a pet project of Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad, whose constituency sponsored both motions. Rustad presented a pri-

vate member’s bill last year to require detailed disclosure, but it was left to die on the order paper. Like all the policy resolutions debated at the convention, these ideas are not binding on the government. Again, there is no actual change on the horizon. Delegates rejected another motion that would have made membership in the B.C. Teachers’ Federation optional. This would have been a declaration of war on B.C.’s most militant union, just as Clark and Education Minister Don McRae embark on a long-shot bid to end the decades of confrontation that have defined that relationship since teachers were relegated to the industrial union model of labour relations. There was a brief debate on a motion to scrap the carbon tax, sponsored by northern members who see it as unfairly punitive on those who endure cold weather

and long highway drives for themselves and the goods they need to have trucked in. This was rejected too, after delegates were reminded that the tax now takes in more than $1 billion annually that is used to reduce business and personal income taxes. Scrapping it would amount to announcing across-the-board income tax hikes, contradicting 12 years of B.C. Liberal policy just before an election. The good news for Clark is that the 2012 convention was a highenergy, well-attended event that contradicts the notion of a party in disarray. The bad news is, nothing has really changed.

Marijuana: A drug is a drug I find it very interesting that we have hear from so many people that are for legalizing marijuana yet there are those who oppose it. I am one that believes that a drug is a drug, I read about all the grow op busts around the Fraser Valley, the police standing by these busts so proudly and yet I live in a duplex in which my neighbours (adults and minors ) in the attached address smoke pot like chain smokers all day and night . This smoke comes in my windows, through the thin walls of the duplex and out of our bathroom fan, there are days I cannot even be home without feeling sick to my stomach being exposed to this smoke. I tried talking to these neighbours and they verbally attacked me, telling me that smoking pot is their choice for the adults and the minors alike and told me to leave their side of the property, that this was their right to smoke pot. I thought pot was illegal in B.C.?

My family is exposed to this as well, their health is in danger so I sent six formal complaints that the general peace and safety of my rental property was being imposed on by drug usage. The manager/owner of this duplex tells me that ‘ everyone’ where I live smokes pot and I should just get used to it or move. The manager will do nothing to help my family. I bet if the managers of this rental property had their family exposed to pot smoke there would be something done to stop it. To go to the Residential Tenancy Branch is my only option, but there are no branches in Chilliwack and to file I have to go into Vancouver. I am currently at home with no income while my wife barely covers the bills so even filing this will take some time to raise funds to. I will be filing though. I called the RCMP and they smell the pot in the home but will do nothing about it, they even threatened to charge me once if I

harassed these people. I had one officer tell me that they probably have a ‘medicard’ to smoke this and I know for a fact they do not. If pot is illegal then why is this law not being enforced by the police? Why am I made out to be a crackpot and told by RCMP that they can do nothing about it. The police made me feel that there is no law and that my families’ health doesn’t matter. We wonder why there is such a drug problem in Chilliwack--lack of enforcement by the law and/ or police. Can someone explain this to me? If people cannot smoke cigarettes around doorways and public places, cant there be something done about exposure in a duplex? I cannot just close a window and problem solved, it comes through the walls and through bathroom vents...Can anyone help my family and me?

Session organizers clarify ‘Parents helping Parents’ I want to begin by thanking the Chilliwack Progress for their article, “Parents Helping Parents”. Steve Anderson did a great job expressing a reality that parents are facing the same problems and yet rarely do we talk about it with one another, “so we’re thinking, maybe we can have some village time over here.” The article written by Eric Welsh communicated it with excellence.

As far as what Sessions is about, the article caught the heart and soul of it. We felt the information on who’s hosting this might be a bit hazy and so wanted to take an extra step to ensure clarity. The Sessions team is comprised of individuals from Broadway Church who have an array of professional and personal experiences. The main thing is that all of us are parents facing

the same challenges as everyone else. So we thought why not create a venue, and open it up to all free of charge, free of judgement and no strings attached. It’s our sincere hope that the greater Chilliwack community is aware of a safe haven for open discussion on challenging issues, a place to experience encouragement and support.

Lynda Mundstock: Beating polio For many of us, polio is not a disease that we are familiar with. Many are aware of it only because they have been inoculated against it. Although polio has plagued humans since ancient times, this contagious and devastating disease was virtually eliminated from the Western hemisphere, in the later half of the twentieth century, thanks to Jonas Salk’s discovery of a polio vaccine in 1955. At the height of the polio epidemic in 1956, Lynda Mundstock was just a young, 12 year old girl and although her small, Saskatchewan community was gripped with fear, it didn’t particularly faze her. “People were scared. Ana Children didn’t play, Macedo people were confined to their homes and farmers bought insurance but I don’t remember being scared,” said Lynda nonchalantly. Then, she too became afflicted by the disease and it impacted her life forever. Although Lynda grew up on a mixed farm in rural Saskatchewan, she was not what you’d call your typical farm kid. “My mom was a town girl who moved out to the farm and I was sort of the same. I had chores to do inside the house but I didn’t have to work outside. That was something that my two brothers had to do,” she smiled. Her father was insistent that his children learn to play an instrument and at the age of 7, Lynda began taking piano lessons. “Dad wouldn’t drive us to sports but he would drive for miles for music.” Lynda fell in love with the piano and practiced for hours. The one room schoolhouse which doubled as a church is where she further developed her skill. She was happy and life was good. Then one warm, dark evening, during harvest time, she stood on a columbine, looking out over the fields when she felt as if the flu was coming on. “My throat was sore and my neck was quite stiff but I didn’t think anything of it. By the following morning, I had paralysis in my right arm. Being that I was a pianist, this was very devastating,” she explained. Lynda was put in isolation, along with the other victims of polio. “If you had polio, you were kept in the

hospital basement and visitors could only come and visit you through the window. I missed an entire month of school and when I went back, my muscles were still rather weak,” she said. Her father was very diligent in ensuring that she worked towards full recovery. “I give him full credit for the fact that I have no real physical signs of polio. He made sure that I exercised every morning. I’d scream in pain but eventually my strength did come back. To this day, my left hand is far steadier than my right hand and my right hand is a touch weaker but that’s about it,” she said. Lynda was a lot more fortunate than many others who were afflicted with the more serious and severe paralytic form of polio. Rotarians all over the world, including local Rotarians are working towards eradicating polio from the globe. Rotary has already contributed more than $1.2 billion to fight the disease but there’s more work that still needs to be done. Although new polio cases are at an all time low, if the effort does not continue until the disease is completely wiped out, the entire program could be derailed and thousands of children could become paralyzed. For Lynda, if this were to happen, it would indeed be tragic. After recovering from the disease, she was able to carry on normally. She resumed playing the piano and even after she left home, continued her piano studies in Regina as she attended the University of Regina to obtain her teaching degree. “I got my first teaching job in Whitehorse. My parents were horrified that I was going so far away,” she laughed. She enjoyed the north immensely and eventually got married and had three children. “I was up there for 14 years. My husband worked for the transport division at Cassiar Asbestos Mine. The mine ended up closing which forced him to look for work elsewhere.” Thus, the family relocated to Chilliwack. Upon arriving, Lynda joined the local Music Teacher’s Branch and began teaching piano, something that she continues to do even today. When she’s not teaching, Lynda is very active and enjoys curling, golfing and playing pickle ball. “It’s a cross between tennis and table tennis and that’s where I’m headed now,” she laughed.

Thursday, November 1, 2012 The Chilliwack Progress

During the coolest, darkest, most bleak season of the year, a little indoor colour will go a long way in winter to lift our spirits. Unfortunately, winter is the most difficult time of the year for our houseplants, but in the right location and with care, they will perform just fine. Even professional growers have difficulty maintaining plant quality in winter. They supplement the lack of sunshine with high intensity lighting, control humidity, regulate temperatures according to the time of day and weather conditions, change their feeding programs, use heated water and alter their watering techniques. If these steps are necessary in greenhouses, just imagine how much more of a challenge it is growing plants in our homes without the benefit of a greenhouse and ideal environmental conditions and without the techniques available to growers. A few adjustments to our household growing techniques can, however, make a huge difference. First, place all your plants beside east or north facing windows to take full advantage of the maximum amount of indirect light. Having an attractive wooden or wrought iron ledge added to your window sills would improve the appearance and health of all your plants, and your windows could become focal points inside your home. Attractive greenhouse windows installed outside of your home can make quite a difference. Because of the reduced amount of daylight at this time of year, you will still need to supplement natural light with artificial light. The finest supplemental light for plants is high intensity sodium halide fixtures, but even the

addition of attractive florescent lights with daylight quality tubes will make a huge difference. Increased foot candles are needed and any way you can bump up those levels and extend them to 16 hours a day, the greater the impact on your plants. The right temperature is also key to keeping your plants happy in winter. The rule is quite simple: the lower the temperature, the higher the humidity. If it Brian is possible to Minter run your home at cooler temperatures around 62-65°F (16.518°C) instead of 70°F (21°C), the improved level of humidity will be quite noticeable, not to mention your lower heating costs! The third issue is watering. This is where most of us get into trouble. In winter the golden rule is: all plants must be rootbound in their pots so that when you water, you can water very thoroughly with warm water to moisten the soil, but any excess water will run off quickly. Saturated soils that dry out slowly will rot roots and hasten the demise of your plants. To get a sense of moisture levels, pick up small plants and feel their weight. Wet soils are heavy; dry soils are light. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll be like the pros who can pick up any potted plant and tell immediately if it needs moisture. For plants in big pots, a quality moisture meter is useful. Remember: in winter, it may be a week, ten days or even two weeks between waterings and that’s okay.

I divide indoor plants into two categories: flowering and foliage plants. Both are important to enhance interior environments. Here are a few of the best colour plants for our homes. Kolanchoes have been real sleepers for many years now. These brightly coloured succulents stand up best in a bright location, and they last and last with the very minimum of care. Available in four or six inch pots, purchase them at the ‘tight-bud’ stage, just before the blossoms begin to open, and each month try one of the many different colours, from yellow, pink and deep red to orange and even white. I’m truly amazed how orchids have caught on as houseplants. Phalaenopsis (Moth Orchids) lead the way with exotic pink, white, and mauve blossoms that last for weeks. Because they need so little care and stand up so well, they make super gifts. Check out the prices too – they have certainly come down. I have a passion for foliage. The brilliance and diversity of foliage plants is breathtaking, from the deepest blackburgundy to vibrant green and everything in between. The fact that many flower in winter is an added bonus. Foliage plants offer dozens of unique colour combinations as well as leaves in unique shapes and styles. In addition, many beautiful indoor foliage plants make great outdoor plants for late spring and summer gardens. So what are you waiting for? Stock up your windowsills with some gorgeous plants and brighten up your winter. If ever there was a time we need colour, this is it!

“It isn’t a matter of just looking at routes that make money or don’t make money,” Polak said. “BC Ferries operates trying to provide necessary service to communities, while at the same time being a reasonable cost for taxpayers.” BC Ferries has already cut sailings on the Duke Point to Nanaimo run, which loses an average of $50 per vehicle carried. BC Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan said Duke Point is a key commercial route that is also busy with visitors in summer, but it has high fuel and labour costs because it is a longer run than the other main routes. Both Polak and former transportation minister Blair Lekstrom have said low-capacity routes have to be made more efficient. Consultation sessions are being arranged for coastal communities in the coming weeks. Route data and feedback forms are available at a new website, www.coastalferriesengagement.ca

Laugh Out Loud @

VICTORIA – BC Ferries made $18.5 million profit on its busy Victoria-Tsawwassen run last year, thanks to passenger and vehicle load averaging 72 per cent. At the other end of the scale, the long run from Port Hardy up the coast to Prince Rupert operated less than half full on average, requiring a staggering subsidy of $2,364.72 for every vehicle carried. And for every vehicle that rode the Victoria-Gulf Islands run, BC Ferries lost $60.79. Detailed performance figures for every BC Ferries route were released Monday as the B.C. government began a consultation on how to save $26 million on operations. Transportation Minister Mary Polak said the savings are needed to balance the interests of taxpayers with ferry users, after the province increased the ferry subsidy $79.5 million over the next four years. The subsidy for this year is about $180 million, most of it from the B.C. government. BC Ferries has been raising rates steadily for 25 years as fuel, labour and other costs increase. Polak said inland ferries that don’t charge the public have also seen declining traffic, and it has been demonstrated that cutting rates doesn’t increase revenues.

Tech career opportunities booming in B.C.

Recent ASTTBC technology award recipient TT Paul O’Neil. O’Neil works in the FortisBC Electricity Calibration Lab in Penticton. Submitted

British Columbia has a ready source of great jobs and careers in technology. Our education programs need to keep up with that demand. John Leech, Executive Director of the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of BC, explains that, “Ever y system we rely on – water, roads and transportation, telecommunications and Internet, hydro and natural gas, environment, health, forestr y, and many

more – utilizes engineering and applied science technology professionals working in the background. BC’s telecom and IT, animation and many other sectors produce new careers ever y month.” ASTTBC has more than 10,000 members currently working in thousands of careers available to graduates of two-year diploma programs available at the British Columbia Institute of Technology and other B.C. colleg-

The last Canadian penny has been minted and The Chilliwack Progress and Envision Financial are encouraging you to bring in your loose pennies, penny jars or bags of pennies and donate them to Chilliwack Community Services. The money will go to fund programs benetting your local tots. Fundraising goal is $10,000 and all proceeds go to the Early Years programs at Chilliwack Community Services. Together our small change can have a huge impact for our local children.

es and institutes. “Our members enjoy rewarding, wellpaid and often recession-proof careers in public service and the private sector alike,” Leech states. “For huge numbers of young men and women, technology is the answer. In B.C. and across Canada, technology permeates every workplace and job. We need to get capable students involved and engaged in applied sciences and head off workforce shortages by building a B.C. ‘Science and Technology Culture’.” Leech calls on government for renewed efforts to build student skills and confidence in math and science programming. “We especially need to interest young students in science and how things work,” Leech says. “Young students use technology every day – smart phones, iPads and computers. They play video games, even build robots.” Leech lauds the recent “Year of Science” program that encouraged students toward so-called “STEM” subjects – science, technology, engineering and math. Citing the recent $6 million B.C. campaign to encourage careers in trades, Leech urges a similar effort to build awareness of engineering technology education and careers. BC Technology Industries Association employers like Telus and BC Hydro and many smaller technology-rich companies say the single most important position they now struggle to fill is Specialty Technician/ Technologist. Even the Canadian Council of Chief Executives expressed concern that only 37 per cent of 16- to 18-year-olds were interested in taking even one postsecondar y course in sciences, according to a recent Angus Reid survey. Leech says the opportunities for those seeking work in the technology field are considerable given a wave of retirements of present-generation B.C. technology professionals that is already underway. “Half of our membership is now middleaged at 45-plus, and 22 per cent are over age

55!” he says. “Ever y region of B.C. shows growing demand,” Leech concludes. “New two-year technology diploma programs are still needed in the north and central B.C. However, young people are investing to travel so they can earn the necessar y tech qualifications.” It would appear their investment is a smart move, as it will result in a broad range of career opportunities. Industries in all regions of B.C. support programs for local trainees to fill engineering and applied science technologist, technician and technical specialist positions. Students in Chilliwack are well positioned to take advantage of this trend. With the recent opening of the Trades and Technology centre at the University of the Fraser Valley, students have a chance to prepare for the looming skilled-trade demand on some of the most current equipment in the industry. For people like Harv McCullough, former dean of the department and now vice-president external at UFV, that means a quicker entry into the upper end of the labour market. But the programs also illustrate the diversity of the trades and tech field. In the Fraser Valley, where agriculture remains a significant industr y, technology is playing a large role in food production and food processing. Robotics, electronic sensors, remote monitoring and advanced computerization are becoming the norm. Not only is UFV tailoring its programs to meet these demands, it supplementing them with programs that will help entrepreneurs be successful. In addition to its trades programs, UFV is offering a bachelor of business administration for trades management. “The objective, says the UFV, “is to produce graduate students who are equipped to successfully function as managers and owners of a trade related business in today’s rapidly changing global environment.”

Two pianos, eight hands for Extravaganza Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

The soloist in a Piano Extravaganza is an accomplished pianist who has performed all over the world. The spotlight will be on Patrick Kreeger, and the Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, Nov. 10 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. This will be the third piano-focused “extravaganza” they’ve offered Chilliwack audiences since 2004, says CSO conductor and music director, Paula De Wit. Last year crowds were treated to pianist Ian Parker and several students studying with members of local B.C. Registered Music Teachers Association. This year one of the outstanding highlights of the night promises to be Danse macabre, Op. 40 from Camille St-Saens, showcasing two pianos, four players, and eight hands. “It’s going to be a show-stopper,” De Wit says. Eight nimble hands will come from four players, including Kreeger, as well as local pianists, Graham Yates, Glen Cuthburtson and Maria Whelton. Kreeger has earned high praise for his musical prowess and came highly recommended to the CSO. “I am thrilled and I am looking forward to working with him as well as the other three amazing pianists,” said De Wit. “Not only will he play Beethoven: Piano Concerto No. 5 but he will also be performing Mozart Concerto 20 in D, K466 – 3rd Movement – Rondo, a piano duet with our own resident accompanist, Graham Yates.” Kreeger first stepped onto the Carnegie Hall stage for his debut at just 17, and these days enjoys a busy career as both a pianist and organist, as soloist and chamber musician. Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Kreeger began his music studies at age three with Barbara Broach and later with Dr. Gerson Yessin, chair of

the University of North Florida Music Department. Patrick began took up the organ at the age of 12 with Jim Wood (a protégé of E. Power Biggs.) Upon moving to Greenville, North Carolina in 2004, Patrick continued his piano and organ studies with Dr. Henry Doskey and Colin Andrews. At 18, he earned a full scholarship to attend the renowned Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia. Kreeger gave his symphonic debut in April 2008, performing Rachmaninoff’s first piano concerto under the baton of Maestro William Henry Curry and the N.C. Symphony. He has been guest soloist with the Musica Sacra Chamber Orchestra (CO), the Barton College/Wilson Symphony Orchestra, as well as with members The National Symphony Orchestra, based in Washington D.C. It was actually a CSO supporter and one of their biggest fans, Tamara Jansen, who recommended Kreeger for the extravaganza, after he made a big impression on her son, a cello player with the CSO. “She beamed with joy and spoke so eloquently about his musicianship,” said De Wit. In addition, the stately piano that will be on stage is quite a special one. “This Steinway is Chilliwack’s gem. It’s a ten-footer,” De Wit said. “It’s huge!” It was bought and lovingly restored by Chilliwack’s Glen Cuthburtson, who will also be playing that night as well. The chorus will be singing Faure’s moving Cantique de Jean Racine as well Faure’s Pavane Op. 50 (Choral version). Also on the program: Beethoven’s Piano Concerto #5, Mozart Concerto 20 in D, K466 – 3rd Movement. A Piano Extravaganza with Patrick Kreeger, Nov. 10, at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, tickets $25/$15 students, 604-391-SHOW (7469). www.chilliwacksymphony.com

FUNNY, QUIRKY AND FULL OF HEART

“Deck is funny, quirky and full of heart. Myers brings his own unique and original personal style of storytelling to the city boy in the country fable.” Ian Case, Intrepid Theatre

This outstanding Festival Series show is an amusing journey about personal growth set in a small BC town as the fine line between perfectionism and obsession is examined. Presented by the Chilliwack Arts and Cultural Centre Society on November 10 at 7:30pm in the Rotary Hall Studio Theatre, Deck is a unique and darkly hilarious piece of theatre that you won’t want to miss. Written and performed by Lucas Myers, the main character in Deck is Cliv, a meticulous single parent of two, who is forced to reassess his future after losing his job in the world

After purchasing a rather run down house, Cliv decides to take on the reconstruction of the shabby deck and quickly becomes aware of his hopeless inability to complete the job. Coming to the rescue is the charismatic carpenter Andreas, who quickly sees that Cliv needs help and offer to lend a hand with the repairs. Grateful at first, Cliv soon becomes suspicious of Andreas motvies and slowly loses his grip on reality, and the job, in the process. Witnessing the deck being built as the story unfolds, Cliv becomes obsessed with the need fix the deteriorating deck and therefore his life. This show is unpredictable and packed full of surprises! “Lucas Myers is the Swiss Army Knife of comedic theatre. His performances are consistently imaginative, endearing and hilarious. An audience favorite and a pure joy to present.” Neil Harrower, Capitol Theatre, Nelson

Through voice changes and body mannerisms, Myers brilliantly transforms into a 16-year-old girl, a 14-year-old boy, an uptight father and a free spirit who’s maybe a little too free with his drugs. Deck is a wildly

Protest from page 3 “We really hope that politicians can move past their party affiliations and recognize that more than ever they need to speak for the interests of local residents, to ensure our democratic right to say ‘No’ to destructive industrial developments and the corporations who want to push them through.” In an earlier news release, Strahl said the tar sands and natural gas exploration in northern B.C. and Alberta “play a major role” in Chilliwack’s economy. “In my riding, the oilsands are driving our manufacturing industry, putting millions of dollars back into our local economy, and providing high-paying, family-supporting jobs,” he said.

The Dog Mountain Dixie band is performing at Chilliwack Public Library Nov. 6 in a return engagement of their popular show “Songs that won the War.” When the Second World War began Canada had just suffered through a depression. Suddenly in the early days of September 1939 the nation was drawn into a gigantic conflict. The popular culture of those dark days quickly shifted to war-themed entertainment including song hits by American and Canadian performers. Singers like the Andrew Sisters, Connie Haines and the popular Happy Gang. Movies provided entertainment with musical formats and the big band performers made cameo visits. Thus was born “Songs that Won the War.” Hit music that stirred the souls both on the home front and in the theatres of war. The programme of music by the Dog Mountain Dixie band will feature a long list of well- known songs from the Second World War. “We call the performance a stroll down memory lane,” says band clarinettist and former military musician and writer Jack Kopstein. “This concert by the group will feature songs of sentimental humour, including titles that are well known and beloved music that never seem to go out of style,” he said. All the instrumentalists of the group are presented in this one hour library programme. Banjo-Tenor Saxophonist Roy Morice forms the centre-piece of the group, with his eminent styling of tunes he grew to know and love. The announcer is percussionist Bob Brown is well known to radio audiences. “In many ways,” said Kopstein, “the period from 1939 to 1945 was a boom time for the arts in Canada. Radio was at its peak, with the wonderful groups that plied the airwaves in support of the war effort. We are happy to emulate the tradition of the songs which alleviated the pain and suffering of our service personnel and the people at home.” The performance starts at 2 p.m. at the downtown Chilliwack branch. Organizers suggest people come early; seating is limited.

Perspectives

Keeping it positive in the workplace happy is meaning, which consists of making the world a better place. Most of us spend a large portion of our lives in a workplacelikely as many waking hours at work as at home with the exception of Marie weekAMOS ends or days off. What if going to our job contributed to our sense of well-being and we looked forward to it? If you are like me, you might not have carte blanche to pursue pleasure while at work, however, we do have control over which aspects of it we focus our attention. The Positive Psychology website (http://www.authentichappiness.sas. upenn.edu/) contains many questionnaires and resources, includ-

ing the Brief Strengths Questionnaire. Martin Seligman, the founder of Positive Psychology, tells a story of one of his students who hated her job as a bagger in a grocery store. However, one of her areas of strength was social interactions, and so she focused on making her interaction with customers the highlight of both their days which contributed to a greater degree of meaning and engagement in her work. When I took the Brief Strengths Questionnaire, one of my areas of strength was “love of learning”, so in my job I could savour the opportunities for research or professional development, or helping young people research skill-building. Positive Psychology identifies that we can cultivate a good life by identifying our signature strengths and then re-crafting our work experiences (as much as we are able-

38th Annual Chilliwack

every job contains responsibilities that are a chore or drudgery- but amplifying the positive aspects can help us enjoy the overall experience to a greater degree). If you are comparing your lackluster day-today with the glamour of lives on television, the good news is that Positive Psychology research has found that pleasure and fun is fleeting without long-term gain. But, helping others and doing good deeds has a lasting impact on our happiness. Life satisfaction is connected understanding your individual strengths, and using them in the service of something greater than you as an individual.

The application of Positive Psychology is not limited to families, individuals, and schools, as discussed earlier in this Perspectives series, but also includes our workplaces. Positive Psychology is the movement that focuses on what helps us be better, happier, productive, and fulfilled. Historically, psychology has focused on what isn’t going well instead of looking at and promoting the things that we do well. It’s a focus on health instead of illness. It’s the idea of helping people flourish in their lives, instead of merely avoiding miserable experiences. Research into happiness has divided it into three separate sections. The first is pleasure or fun. The second is flow, or engagement in what you are doing (ever lost track of time while working on a projectthat’s flow).

Fitness

Time to get ready for winter Unless you can squeeze in a mid-day walk during your lunch break, the short winter days means some of your outdoor activity will be in the dark. It is important to be seen when walking, running, or cycling at night. Reflective clothing and flashing lights are a great way to stay visible at night. Reflective vests and lights can Tanja be found at most SHAW bike shops and running shoe stores.

The leaves have fallen, sweaters are back in style, daylight is limited, and rain is in the forecast. Fall is here and winter is on its way. While evening walks other active outdoor excursions may be more inviting during the summer, the onset of chillier months does not mean you have to hibernate. Getting a regular dose of exercise in the fresh air isn’t only good for your heart- it may also chase away the winter blues. To maintain your fitness level this winter, dress for the weather, exercise with a friend, and be creative. Dress for success

Your time spent outside in the cool temperatures will be more pleasurable if you dress properly. Layering is a great way to stay warm and dry when braving the winter weather. Wear a layer of synthetic fabric next to your skin, such as polypropylene (thermal underwear). Stay away from cotton as it absorbs moisture and dries slowly, making you feel damp and cold once you start to sweat. Fleece makes a great insulating layer. Top off your insulating layer with thin waterproof or windproof layer. Warm socks, gloves, and a toque are also essential to keep warm.

Make it a date

Plan to meet up with a friend, family member, or a four-legged friend for a walk or run. You will be less likely to miss a workout, and the exercise will be more enjoyable. Having an exercise partner will help you leave your warm and comfortable house to brave the outdoors. Try something new

The winter presents a variety of opportunities for outdoor exercise. The local mountains, such as Hemlock, Cypress and Manning Park offer a range of snow sports to Trim: 5.81”skiing and try. Cross country snowshoeing are great cardio-

vascular workouts. Downhill skiing and snowboarding will challenge your leg muscles. Tobogganing is also a great workout- especially when you have to haul your kids up the hill. If snow falls in the valley, go sledding or build a snowman with your family. If nothing else, shoveling your driveway is a sure way to work up a sweat. Have an indoor alternative Okay, sometimes trading a cup of hot cocoa by the fireplace for a sweat session in the stinging wind is a bit unrealistic. It is wise to have an indoor alternative during the winter months. Join a gym, register in a group fitness class, or start a home exercise program to keep fit, and dry, during the winter months. While we have said farewell to our short sleeves and warm evenings, we don’t have to say good-bye to our fitness. To keep fit during the long months ahead, dress appropriately, find a workout buddy, and play in the snow! Tanja Shaw is a Kinesiologist and owner of Ascend Fitness Coaching.

Road trip nearing end An epic road stretch is almost at an end for the Chilliwack Chiefs, who play two more away games this weekend before finally returning home. Chilliwack visits the Trail Smoke Eaters on Friday and the Penticton Vees on Saturday before finally getting back to Prospera Centre for a Nov. 7 game against Langley. The Chiefs will have played seven straight on the road, with their last home game way back on Oct. 13. Chilliwack has gone 3-2 on the road swing, staying within two points of the Mainland division lead. But this weekend may be the toughest test yet for the Chiefs. Chilliwack faces a potential buzzsaw Friday night when they face a plucky Smoke Eaters squad. A Trail team that was dreadful last year is greatly improved this year. Though their record still isn’t anything to fear, the 7-11-0-1 Smokies are difficult to face in cozy Cominco Arena. Twenty-year-old for ward

Brent Baltus leads Trail in scoring with 19 points in 19 games. Garrett McMullen and Tyler Berkholtz, each with 15 points, provide offensive punch for a team that has lit the lamp 48 times this year. Defensively, the Smoke Eaters are still a train wreck. Trail has given up a league high 84 goals in 19 games for an average of 4.42 per game. Lyndon Stanwood, the small stopper who made such a big impression late last year, has been under siege, posting a save percentage of .896 and a goals-against average of 3.75 while facing an average of 31 shots per night. If the Chiefs can match Trail’s work ethic, they should be in good shape to come out with a win. Saturday night is where the true challenge lies. Chilliwack faces a revamped Penticton team that has picked up where it left off last season. The Vees aren’t as dominant top to bottom as they were en-route to the 2012 Royal Bank Cup, but they still boast a potent offence

and stingy D. Despite losing 90 per cent of their championship roster, the Vees have a record of 13-2-0-2, good for top spot in the Interior division. They have three of the BCHL’s top 10 scorers in Wade Murphy, Michael Rebry and Sam Mellor. They also have the second stingiest defence, allowing just 2.12 goals per game. Penticton is proving they don’t have to obliterate teams to win games. “We might not be as flashy,” said Penticton coach and general manager Fred Harbinson, “but we compete really hard, work hard and we can skate. When we’re not turning pucks over in the neutral zone and using our feet we feel we can play with the best.” The Chiefs should be well motivated to beat the Vees, who knocked Chilliwack out of the BCHL playoffs last season. Chilliwack gave the eventual champs their biggest playoff scare, pushing Penticton to six games in round one.

Grizzlies mow down Reimer Ravens

The Grade 8 GW Graham Grizzlies football team continued their winning ways, dominating the Eugene Reimer Ravens 28-6 Monday afternoon. With the win, the Grizzlies leapfrogged the Ravens and moved into second place in the

seven team AA conference. “We are very pleased with the progress of this group,” said head coach Laurie Smith. “For a first year team they have exceeded all expectations.” On offense, the Grizzlies had running back Emilio Pineda back in the lineup and he rushed for 135 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Gibson Hardie connected with receiver Noah Dubosoff for another long TD strike. RB

Ethan Mastin capped the scoring with a 27 yard scamper out of a inside run play. The blocking of Devan Voss and Jake Troyan opened gaping holes for Grizzly running backs. On defense, middle lineback Jaren Lengert set the tone with bonecrushing hits while defensive linemen Liam McKormick and Jaimey Bessette stuffed the Ravens’ inside run game. The win sets up an epic showdown between unbeaten

Abbotsford (6-0) and GW Graham (5-1) for first place next Monday at Rotary Stadium in Abbotsford. A win versus Abbotsford would put the Grizzlies into the AAA playoffs starting Nov. 12 against top seed Lord Tweedsmuir. “The good thing about this group of players is that they don’t care who they line up against,” Smith said about the daunting leap to AAA competition. “They go into each game expecting to win.”

Olivares outstanding as junior bantams top Knights Chilliwack’s junior bantam Blue Giants returned to their winning ways last weekend, gutting out a 12-9 victory over the Ridge Meadows Knights. Quarterback Gabe Olivares got the Giants off to a fast start on the very first offensive

play, connecting with running back Mitchell Byrne on a 105 yard pass and run touchdown. Olivares would go three for four for 200-plus yards in the passing department, completing deep balls to Ryan Clayton and

Garrette Gear. Olivares doubled as Chilliwack’s kicker, nailing his first two field goals of the year, from 17 and 25 yards out. His second came with less than two minutes remaining, providing the winning points. Chilliwack’s defence

was outstanding, holding the opposition to a touchdown or less for the fourth time this year. The defensive-end pairing of Tynan AckahSanzah and Warren Rogers shut down the outside running game and applied constant

pressure on the Ridge Meadows QB. Kobe Pool played his first game at middle linebacker, replacing injured all-star Aydan Harvey. Pool recorded two quarterback sacks and four solo tackles, earning defensive player of the game status. Olivares saw action at safety, producing his second interception in as many games. l The peewee Blue Giants played a tough first half against the Meadow Ridge Knights on Saturday afternoon, but it wasn’t enough to ward off a 28-6 loss. Quinn Venier got Chilliwack’s only major on the first offensive play of the game, ripping off an electrifying 65 yard touchdown run. Quarterback Hudson Harvey and running backs Thomas Nelson and Nick Butler continued to move the ball behind the bulldozer blocking of Taylor Fleming and Avery Bearchell, but the offence lacked finish. Safety Cole Hurst and linebacker Colton Holt had strong games

on defence, but multiple injuries in the second half proved too much to overcome. The peewees play their final game of the season away from home, visiting the Langley Bears at 11 a.m. Saturday. l Despite the frigid conditions, Chilliwack’s atom White Giants put forth a spirited effort Saturday morning against the Langley Bears. Strong defensive play from Ethan Long and Liam Poulton kept it close through one quarter. But some unlucky breaks had Chilliwack trailing at the half. Cameron Harvey, Ty Cox, and Tyler Kelly provided solid D for Chilliwack in the second half, but the Bears wore them down and came away with a 42-6 win. Isaac Tuioti, who also played well defensively, was named offensive player of the game, and Poulton was the defensive player of the game. Chilliwack faces Ridge Meadows in the playoffs.

Penticton should have a handful of their top players in the World Junior A Challenge, writes Jacob Bestebroer Hockey season is back, and so is Jacob Bestebroer. The local hockey guru returns with his weekly column, providing thoughts on the Chilliwack Chiefs and goings on around the BCHL. This week, Bestebroer talks about upcoming games and an annual event reborn. We’re less than a week away from the Chiefs returning to home ice. Two more road games this weekend before the Langley Rivermen visit Prospera Centre next Wednesday. Friday the Chiefs make the long trip to Trail before visiting the Penticton Vees Saturday. The Vees will be in Chilliwack the following Saturday, though we likely won’t see the full team. Penticton should have a handful of their top players participating in the World Junior A Challenge in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. The Vees have six players at the Team West selection camp, including the BCHL’s top scorer Wade Murphy (26 points) and top goal scorer Michael Rebry (13). The same thing happened to the Vees last year and they won every game while missing six of their better players. They are not as deep this season but expect to see a player like Ryan Gropp, one of the top 16 year old players in Western Canada, get more ice time and do a solid job filling the void. The BCHL is organizing a fundraising campaign for the Canadian Cancer Society through a Movember campaign. At least a few players on every team will be growing a moustache and the league will be posting pictures of the results each week. Fans will be able to vote for which ‘stache they like the best. Anyone wishing to donate to men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and male mental health initiatives, will be able to do so via the BCHL website or at each BCHL game during November. The Chiefs are organizing a fan bus for the Chiefs game in Merritt on Friday, Nov. 23. Right now the price is set at $35 per person, which includes your game ticket and pre and post game snacks on the bus. That price may come down a bit and a minimum of 35 people are needed to make it go. The bus will leave Prospera Centre at 4:30 p.m. and expects to return by midnight. Call the Chiefs office at 604-392-4433 or visit customer service during a home game to sign up. The fan bus to Merritt was an annual event beginning in the late 1990s and was always a good time. Except for maybe one time. During the 1999-00 season, the weather was quite bad. We had to stop at the show shed and wait for a snow plow to show up and lead us. Cell reception was horrible and I was trying to call my wife with no luck. I finally got through to her as the snow plow was getting ready to start the convoy. As we were pointed up hill, the bus lurched back a bit before it gained traction to move forward. At this time I said to my wife ‘The bus is rolling back right now,’ but whatever I said after that was cut off as cell reception was again lost. I managed to get in touch with her about 20 minutes later to let her know we were all OK. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Oct. 12, 1937 - Oct. 27, 2012 It is with great sadness and heartbreak that we announce Daleâ€™s passing. He passed away BRUBAKER peacefully with his family by his side after a hard and dignified fight with abdominal cancer. He leaves behind to mourn him Carol, his wife of 48 years; sons: David and Glenn; daughter-in-law, Stephanie; and two grandchildren: Elias and Baiya; sister, Janet (Larry) Brown; nieces and nephews: Sheryl, Laurie, Eileen, Barry, Christina; and their children, sister-in-law/brother-in-law Linda and Tony Shapkin; nieces: Leanna and Cathy and their children, brotherin-law/sister-in-law Jack and Janet Serne, nephew and niece James and Julia. He was predeceased by his father Gordon in 1963 and his mother Bernice in 2007. Dale was born in Castor, Alberta and lived for a while in Gadsby, Alberta. During the War, the family also lived in Edmonton, Gadsby, Red Deer, then settled in Calgary. At age 16 while in Red Deer, he joined the Royal Canadian Navy, Submarine Corps and served for seven years, travelling the world. He met Carol, the love of his life, in Calgary and they were married in 1964. Dale was a steamfitter by trade and travelled around Canada with his work, Carol joining in some of his travels. They made a good life in Calgary, had two children then decided to get out of the big city by moving to Chilliwack in 1990. They fell in love with and settled in the Chilliwack River Valley. They enjoyed gardening and day-tripping around the Lower Mainland and just below the border discovering all the little back roads and the beautiful scenery. Dale was a real handyman/ builder, could fix anything and was a super renovator, redoing his whole house. He was always helping and trading with the neighbours. He worked at the military base for a number of years and made many friends in Chilliwack. He enjoyed his large greenhouse full of tomatoes and equally large garden where he grew great garlic. He worked for and loved his family most of all.Through the pain and the sickness, Dale never lost his sense of humour. He will be sorely missed by all. Many thanks to Dr. John chow, the doctors and nurses in Emergency who were always there for him, the lovely and caring nurses in Ambulatory Care (IV Room), the wonderful Palliative Care team, Kim particularly and the

thoughtful considerate care in Hospice. All worked hard to make Dale comfortable in his final days. A Celebration of his life will be held at 10:00 am on Saturday, November 17, 2012 at the Coast Hotel in the Fraser Room. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Chilliwack Hospice Society or the BC Land Conservancy.

Wills can be confusing.

He graduated from North Vancouver High School in 1947, and from an early age; was an avid hunter and fisherman. At age 16, Bob was an Air Cadet 111 Pegasus Squadron in Vancouver. His teenage summers were savoured learning animal husbandry at Canadaâ€™s largest private cattle ranch, Douglas Lake Ranch. Under the direction of Colonel Victor Spencer, Bob raised several Canadian Champion Hereford Bulls. Bob also worked at Spencerâ€™s Meat Department in downtown Vancouver as a butcher, then n 1949, he joined the BC Telephone Company (Telus) advancing for 38 years until his retirement in 1987.

He was one of the first on scene after the largest landslide ever recorded in Canada in the Nicolum Valley, in 1965 (The Hope Slide).

He was a life-time member of the North Vancouver Gun Club, Chilliwack Gun Club, Custer Sportsmanâ€™s Club in Washington State, and the Chilliwack YMCA. He costarted the Chilliwack YMCA bingo fundraising campaign in 1987; it continues to successfully raise funds supporting local youth, adult, and seniorsâ€™ programs. Bob was a testament of one who unselfishly assisted others. The family thanks friends and neigh-

Straight talk for shoppers in Chilliwack Who supports our childrenâ€™s minor sports teams? Which commercial taxpayers contribute to city improvements? Who offers critical employment to our children and others? Who is most often asked to fund our community events? Which business people form many of our local service clubs? Who advocates for a more vibrant city? Which business leaders volunteer on boards and capital campaigns? Who supports the arts in our community? Who donates and raises funds for the disadvantaged in our community? Who is likely to be your neighbour, a friend, a parent, a tax-payer? It is not the U.S. retailers across the border!
