NDP urges health authority to buy local But Chilliwack MLA John Les says ‘it’s not that easy’ Robert Freeman The Progress

The NDP is calling on the B.C. government to step into food procurement by hospitals that neighbour on key food-producing areas of the province like the Fraser Valley. NDP Leader Adrian Dix said in a news release that an FOI request sent to the Fraser Health Authority showed “there are no formal policies in place that involve the provincial government using its Health authorities purchasing power to promote locally are trying to focus grown food in area though as much of their hospitals, they neighbor budget as they can key areas of the Agricultural Land on patient care Reserve.” wever, ~ MLA John Les theH oFHA’s food purchases are handled by the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority. “We don’t track the locally sourced food items simply because they are seasonal and we always buy in season through our contractor Gordon Food Services,” said Anna Marie D’Angelo, senior media relations officer at the VCHA. She said local menu items served fresh include fruits and vegetables such as carrots, apples, peaches, blueberries and all the berries, green beans and broccoli. Chilliwack MLA John Les, a dairy farmer turned politician, said it’s all very well to encourage individuals to buy locally, but the quantities required by health authorities and the seasonal nature of produce makes it a more complicated matter. “I’m not aware of any producer in the Fraser Valley is geared up or able to produce food in the way or in those quantities and at the price health authorities can afford,” he said.

Trans Mountain defends pipeline safety Information meeting on proposed pipeline expansion Robert Freeman The Progress

Jonathon Wood, a 27-yearold Chilliwack resident training to be a heavy equipment operator, is one of many in the Fraser Valley that Trans Mountain hopes to convince that its pipeline expansion proposal is a good idea. “I’m against it because of the risk,” Wood said, at an info session held Tuesday in Chilliwack. “I know they’re doing their best, but if something does happen,” he said, the potential ecological damage to water ways and water sources will “affect a lot of other industries and hurt our economy.”

And Chilliwack will see little of the economic benefits of twinning the pipeline, he believes, while accepting double the risk of a spill. Clean potable water will soon outstrip the value of oil, he predicted, so sources like Chilliwack’s underground aquifer should not be placed in any risk. “Water is worth a lot more than oil,” he said. “We can live without oil, we can’t live without water.” But Greg Toth, director of Trans Mountain’s expansion project, said a new “horizontal directional drill” will be used to bore under water ways like the Fraser River. “We actually won’t do any

in-stream work,” he said. As for the Chilliwack aquifer, he said, an issue raised by local government as well as the public, Trans Mountain has a “well-established safety program” called the “pipeline integrity management program” to ensure a quick response to a spill. “I think people should feel comfortable that our pipeline is safe,” he said. Trans Mountain has “an excellent safety record,” he added, and the $4.3-billion project must pass a number of environmental and socioeconomic assessments that will be submitted to the National Energy Board for approval.

“We have had spills along the pipeline,” Toth said, but only eight recordable spills (over 9.5 barrels) in 50 years and only two spills in the last 30 years, one of those a “pinhole leak” detected by a local farmer. “If we do have a spill or an incident along the pipeline, we have a very vigorous internal investigation program and we look at the cause of the spill and do everything we can to correct it and prevent it from happening again.” Routing of the proposed pipeline is another issue raised at the series of public info sessions – 36 over two months – that Trans Mountain is holding in the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland.

B.C. budget deficit forecast grows again Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA – The B.C. government has increased its deficit forecast for the second time this fiscal year, citing lower revenues from coal sales and continuing low price and sales volume of natural gas. A slow real estate market has also reduced provincial revenues from the property purchase tax and provincial property tax for

schools, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said Wednesday. De Jong released the finance ministr y’s second-quar ter update, forecasting that the deficit will reach $1.47 billion by the time the fiscal year ends March 31. That’s an increase of $328 million from the first-quarter forecast released in September. The September deficit forecast was up $173 million from last Februar y’s budget, attributed mostly to a drop in natu-

ral gas prices and sales volume due to oversupply in the North American market. The finance ministry says natural gas prices and revenues have been flat since September, but coal and property tax revenue are driving a drop of $202 million in expected revenues to the provincial treasury since then. De Jong said despite the slide in revenues, he is still on track to balance the 2013 budget when he presents it in the legislature

on Feb. 19. That promise is also featured in the government’s current round of advertising to promote its jobs plan. Speaking for the NDP opposition, MLA Carole James said she does not believe the next budget will be truly balanced, despite a plan to sell government assets that she likened to “selling the family farm.” James noted that the forecast deficit has grown by about 50 per cent since the last budget, and

the B.C. Liberal claims of strict spending control are contradicted by spending $15 million on ads that mainly promote the B.C. Liberal party in the run-up to the May election. In September, De Jong announced a government-wide hiring freeze and restrictions on travel and other discretionar y government spending. Wednesday he said $176 million in savings have been identified.

Japanese sweet on local blueberry honey

Record confirmed for corn shucking world title

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

The cool, rainy 2012 season was not a particularly good one for honey production at Honeyview Farm of Chilliwack. But despite that, a major shipment of blueberry honey is packed and ready to go for export to Japan this week, said farm co-owner Pia Awram. They were approached by an exporter from Vancouver who explained the high demand in parts of Asia for foodstuffs made with blueberries. “It’s interesting that the Japanese have such a high opinion of blueberries,” said Awram. Often called a superfood for its anti-oxidant properties, the blueberry is known as the “vision fruit” in Japan because of its reported health benefits for maintaining vision. “We’re already shipping a lot of blueberry honey, but there’s also been a strong interest in it from local customers who drive from Vancouver to buy it at the farm,” said Awram. But it’s a first for an overseas order of this magnitude at Honeyview. “We’ve never shipped so much in small jars,” she said. They even had to buy a new bottle filling machine just to make sure they could fill the large order to be ready in time for the holidays. Now they’ve got 2700 small honey jars ready to go on two large pallets,

and all the nutrition information is being printed in Japanese for the labels and boxes. “We hope to be exporting even more to Japan in the coming years.” The blueberry blossom honey is made from nectar of the tiny white flowers of the blueberry bush. The honey is light amber in colour with a well rounded flavour. “It doesn’t have a sharp flavour like buckwheat, but it does have a distinct taste,” she said. “When we process and taste the

honey, we can tell which one is blueberry.” The blueberry flavour is one of several blossom honeys made from the nectar of flowers by Honeyview, alongside raspberry, alfalfa or blackberry, for example. The weather was so poor last summer it led to smaller berry crops locally, which impacted honey yield totals. But they still had enough to process and jar up lots of the popular blueberry honey. They’re looking ahead

to 2013 for a much better honey crop, and hoping for a “reasonable” winter season to help hive survival rates. Cold spring weather, and the prevalence of bee diseases in recent years, have been devastating for bee keep-

ers worldwide. “But the bees look good, and they’re all packed away in their hives for the winter. Next year is going to be really good,” she said. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

It’s official. Chilliwack broke the Guinness World Record for the most number of people corn-shucking at one time last summer in Central Community Park. Word from Guinness confirming the news arrived at Star 98.3 FM radio station offices this week, in the wake of the record-breaking attempt held at Party in the Park on July 6, 2012. “We received the official paperwork this week!” reported Lisa Stevens of Star FM. “Nice work everyone.” The cer tificate from Guinness World Records credits the Chilliwack event for the most people “husking corn” at the same time, with a total of 592 people. That broke the previous record of 351 people in California. The record-breaking attempt in the park attracted more than 600 people in Chilliwack, and was a fitting way to celebrate Star FM’s 85th anniversary. They had to submit aerial photos and video evidence to Guinness as well as a site plan in order to have the record confirmed.

The Kinder Morgan tank farm, part of the Trans Mountain Pipeline system, on Sumas Mountain was the site of a crude oil spill on Jan. 24, 2011.

to the inappropriate response. Delays in response time were among the concerns expressed by residents after the spill. Many said they first noticed a strong odour in the area at about 3 a.m., and they questioned why Kinder Morgan did not discover the leak until almost four hours later. Residents in the Auguston neighbourhood – located near the tank farm – reported that the smell contributed to nausea and headaches, and they were concerned about long-term health implications. The NEB report concluded that the spill, which was isolated to a containment area and did not cause any environmental damage, was due to a failed gasket, likely damaged by excessive pressure caused from freezing. The drain valve of the roof drain system was open at the time and allowed crude oil, which could flow through the failed gasket of the roof system, to enter the secondary containment. The NEB report indicated that the tank was built in 1963 and was last inspected in 1995. The NEB made a number of

recommendations for TMPU to follow. Lexa Hobenshield, spokesperson for Kinder Morgan Canada (KMC), said the company has already implemented these measures, or is in the process of doing so. “It is important to remember that when oil from a storage tank at the Sumas Mountain Terminal spilled, it was fully contained within an area on the property that was lined with impermeable membrane, no one was hurt, and there was no threat to the public because of the spill,” she said. The NEB report confirms that TMPU has addressed the findings and has taken corrective action. “The board is satisfied that these actions are appropriate to prevent the occurrence of similar incidents in the future.” The Sumas terminal is part of the Trans Mountain Pipeline system which brings crude oil from Alberta to terminals that end in Burnaby and Washington State. Products are temporarily stored along the pipeline in 22 tanks in Kamloops, Abbotsford and Burnaby.

It took more than four hours from the time the first alarm noted a possible leak at Kinder Morgan’s tank farm in Abbotsford until a spill was discovered, according to a report released this week by the National Energy Board (NEB). The NEB, the lead investigative agency looking into the cause of the 90,000-litre spill on Jan. 24 of this year, concluded that proper procedures were not followed that day by Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC (TMPU), which is owned by Kinder Morgan. The NEB determined that an operator monitoring the TMPU alarm system – based at a control centre in Edmonton – did not deal properly with three alarms that came from one of the Abbotsford tanks. “A factor that contributed to the amount of crude oil released in the Tank 121 secondary containment area is that the leak was not detected as quickly as it should have been,” the NEB report states. The operator failed to recognize a drop in the tank’s volume and determined that the first two alarms were false, the report states. He made note of the third alarm for follow-up with the dayshift operator. The first alarm was noted at 2:39 a.m. on Jan. 24, followed by ones at 3:11 and 4:11 a.m. The day-shift operator notified a terminal operator at 5:50 a.m., and the leak was discovered exactly an hour later in a tank containment area when that person arrived on site. The NEB report stated that the alarms were not set at the proper values – information that was not known by the night-shift operator – and this might have contributed

Pipeline consultations to continue Pipeline from page Front

Toth said these sessions are the first “roll-out” of the proposal, and, based on feedback from the public and local governments, including First Nations, further consultations will be held in each community along the pipeline. He said a “workshop format” may be used to discuss alternate routes in areas where housing has gone up around the pipeline. “We are looking for alternatives that will cause the least disruption to individual landowners,” he said, which could involve using “trenchless technologies” to bore under a property to lay the pipe. With 2,200 landowners between Edmonton and Burnaby, he said, “there’s a lot of discussions going on.” First Nations are also being consulted, he said, but “a few” are insisting that any discussions involving rights and title take place on a government-to-government level. Despite opposition parties’ criticism of recent changes to environmental legislation by the Conser vative government, Wood said Trans Mountain does not see them as a “relaxation” of the rules. “We’ve monitored the federal changes and what’s proposed, and we don’t see it as a relaxation of the environmental rules,” he said. “Where it is a benefit to us, it provides a prescribed timeline for the regulatory reviews.” “Our intent is to approach the environmental values and environmental protection the same way we have in the past,” he said. That approach allowed the company to build 160 kilometres of pipeline through Jasper National Park in 2007 under “the most stringent” environmental rules, he said. Perhaps startlingly, safety of the marine environment has also been an issue of concern raised at info sessions in the Fraser Valley. “I think people are fairly well-read,” Wood said, “and they are aware of what the issues are so they are curious and they do ask questions.” One group asking questions, the PIPE UP Network, had a number of members outside the Chilliwack info session presenting an “alternate” view of pipeline safety, and the transmission of diluted bitumen - or tar sands. Spokesperson Michael Hale said Trans Mountain officials at the info sessions “seem to want to minimize the risks.” “I think what residents are more concerned about is what are the facts - don’t play it down,” he said.

QUESTION: Is it true you can achieve a soft face lift with the use of cosmetic fillers? Will the results look natural? - Jane, Aldergrove

ANSWER:

As we age the bones of the face actually soften back as does the fat in the fat pockets of the face. At the same time our skin expands due to the effects of natural aging. In other words the table cloth is now too big for the table. With the Soft Lift we combine the smoothing effect of Botox with the filling effect of Juvederm fillers. The result is a natural looking lift with no downtime, done in just one treatment!

CALLING ALL LOST ALUMNI UFV nursing students Chelsie Christianson and Cole Gollner hone their skills by tending to “Mr. Wiens”, a $100,000 high-fidelity mannequin in the simulation lab at the Chilliwack campus at Canada Education Park. Although the mannequin is acting as an elderly male patient today, it can be reconfigured to present a variety of health issues depending on scenarios created by UFV nursing instructors.

r. Wiens isn’t feeling that well this morning. It’s the day after his urology surgery, and he’s experiencing a few post-op complications. But he’s in good hands. Two young nurses are attending to him, checking all his vital signs, reacting to his symptoms, listening to him as he says “I don’t feel so well,” and responding to his questions. The catch? Mr. Wiens isn’t actually human. He is a $100,000 high-fidelity mannequin in the simulation lab at the University of the Fraser Valley’s Chilliwack campus at Canada Education Park. The young nurses are actually second-year nursing students Chelsie Christianson and Cole Gollner. They are in a phase of their studies called consolidation, where they take the theory they’ve learned in class and the skills and experience they’ve gained through their surgery clinical rotation at a local hospital, and further refi ne it in a lab setting at UFV. Behind a concealed window, a team of UFV health sciences professionals are monitoring Tony and Eliza’s every move. Nursing lab coordinator Elizabeth Stadnyk is the voice of Mr. Wiens, moaning and groaning, describing his symptoms, and asking when his wife is going to arrive. Fellow coordinator Arlene Haley is at the computer, monitoring all of his vital signs and the students’ reactions to them and tweaking

them to further challenge them. And instructor Janice Savoy is guiding the planned scenario, giving silent directions to the coordinators to make adjustments to the situation as it plays out, based on the students’ reaction to variables. And what’s extra special about today is that Cole and Chelsie are among the fi rst students to use this extremely high-tech lab and mannequin — the fi rst group started at 8:15 this morning. Both they and the instructors and coordinators are giving the system the fi rst real test. UFV had simulation mannequins at its previous location before the move to Canada Education Park. But the new high-fidelity ones are a big improvement. The students can feel the mannequin’s pulse, take his blood pressure, listen to his heart, and monitor his bowels. His chest rises and falls as he breathes, and he blinks regularly. With the help of UFV staff, he talks. He can also vomit on command. The mannequins are used in all phases of nursing training at UFV, from year one through four. As useful as the mannequins are, human volunteers are also important in the training of our future nurses. On the same day that the students are interacting with the not-quite human Mr. Wiens, they are also participating in simulations with local volunteers Caitlynn Sherriff, Mikayla MacLeod, Cara

Broekhuysen, Riley Nelmes, Jordan Dhillon, and Carol Adams. All have been given roles today, whether patient or family member, and scenarios to play out for the nursing students. The simulations are scripted and planned by nursing faculty at UFV. Today, the instructors in charge are JoAnne Nelmes, Janice Savoy, Pam Causton, and Adele Phillips. “The mannequin is great teaching tool because we can manipulate symptoms or signs as we go along, and hopefully the students pick up on the cues and react appropriately,” says Nelmes. The students who got to try out the mannequin on his fi rst official day in action were impressed with the experience. “It was interesting because you could see him blinking and his chest rising and falling,” said

Megan Prins. “He just seemed much more real than the ones we used before.” “It was a bit nerve-wracking, but it provided a good learning experience on how you could do things differently,” said Janessa Berger. “And once his pretend family member arrived in the room, it made it seem even more real.” The community supported the acquisition of the mannequins and the outfitting of the lab through a $10,000 donation from the Chilliwack Foundation and a $2,000 contribution from the London Drugs Foundation. “It is gifts like these that really help us to provide top-notch, state-of-the-art equipment for our students,” says Hilary Beard of UFV’s Advancement office. “We are very grateful for the community support we receive at UFV.”

Carol Adams isn’t really recovering from knee surgery, but she is pretending she is for secondyear UFV nursing student Tony Chae. Community volunteers regularly help nursing students develop their skills by participating in role-playing scenarios.

Corrosive taxes

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

Many people wonder why they have such perpetual empty pockets. There is minimal price inflation, interest rates are low, yet at the end of most weeks, there is little left over for extras. There are several possible explanations, and one of them may surprise some people. While a letter to the editor last week suggests that more people need to be financially literate, that is only a part of the puzzle. A lack of wage growth for most working people, other than government workers, is another part of the puzzle, but again it only explains a portion of the problem. Perhaps the missing link in the puzzle, which isn’t properly explained, is just how inflation is calculated. According to the Bank of Canada, the official inflation rate is based on a basket of consumer goods, including food, shelter, furniture, clothing, transportation and recreation. The federal government has been keeping track of prices on that basis since 1914. The first real inflation in Canada took place during the First World War, when prices rose to higher levels because of wartime shortages. Canadians were hit brutally by inflation in the 1970s and 1980s. At one time, interest rates were over 20 per cent — and inflation was close to 14 per cent annually. Those days are long past us now. Inflation has been at low rates for years, and interest rates are much the same. As a result, people have borrowed more money than ever — much of it to buy homes. Nowhere is that more true than in the Lower Mainland. Interest costs are thus draining a good portion of peoples’ incomes. But the fact that inflation isn’t being calculated on some of our costs may be an even bigger factor behind our empty pockets. Low official inflation rates mean employers don’t feel the need to give wage increases and governments feel there is plenty of taxing room. Taxes are not considered inflationary. Thus steady jumps in medical service premiums in B.C. are of no consequence. Nor was the HST, which added tax to many items that formerly only had the GST applied. In recent years, the biggest contributors to our empty wallets are governments. But they get away with it, because there’s minimal “inflation.” ~ Black Press

The annual poverty of politics continues

VICTORIA – B.C.’s ritual day of shame over child poverty has come and gone once again, with politicians trading blame and timeworn talking points. The occasion was an annual gathering staged at the B.C. Teachers’ Federation office in downtown Vancouver. It is organized by First Call, an umbrella group sponsored by the BCTF, the B.C. Government Employees’ Union and a collection of like-minded “anti-poverty activists,” as they describe themselves in their latest report. The familiar script unfolded. The report misinterprets federal income statistics from two years ago and calls for a long list of uncosted, but hugely expensive measures that they assert will make B.C. the first jurisdiction in human history to eradicate poverty. A sampling: provide raises for employees and contractors at all

levels of government until they are making an unspecified “living wage,” because we all know how public sector workers uniquely suffer from pay and pension inequality. Raise the minimum wage again and index it to inflation. Establish universal public dental care, prescription drug and eye care programs, and Tom daycare. (Dismiss FLETCHER targeted programs that already provide this.) Raise welfare rates and expand eligibility for employment insurance. Cut tuition and provide more student grants. Eliminate homelessness. And so it continues toward a socialist Utopia and certain bankruptcy for provincial and federal governments already deeply in the

red. I wrote about these numbers when Statistics Canada released them back in June. They showed a modest improvement nationally and provincially in what they measure, which is not poverty, but the relative relationship between income groups. First Call dismisses that improvement as “a dismal record.” My point is not to deny that there are many poor people in B.C. and Canada. There are. But at this point we don’t even have a reliable way of measuring the problem, let alone effective solutions. The report states: “Statistics Canada said the child poverty rate in Greater Vancouver was 18.4 per cent in 2010 …” No, Statistics Canada didn’t say that. They said what they always say, that “LowIncome Cut-Off,” or LICO figures, are not an accurate measure of poverty. The political response

was equally predictable. Veteran NDP MP Libby Davies led the charge in Ottawa. The government must establish a national antipoverty strategy with firm annual goals, she said, reciting the identical script of the B.C. NDP. Davies didn’t mention that Manitoba is among the provinces with such a plan. It’s the only province that finished below B.C. in the percentage of children living in low-income homes. These plans are mainly gesture politics, providing the appearance of action. Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux spoke on behalf of the B.C. Liberal government, and she, too, stuck to a familiar script. The best path out of poverty is a job, she said. This is true, but also obvious. Then Cadieux went on about the “B.C. Jobs Plan,” which has its own sorry record of misrepresented federal statistics. Here’s one of the report’s more

blindingly obvious section headings: “Child poverty concentrated in big cities.” No kidding. The whole population is concentrated in big cities. Herein lies a clue that is missed by “activists” for ever-larger government. Poor people are increasingly crowded into the most expensive places. If I’m on welfare or working in a low-wage job and receiving a provincial rent subsidy (one of those things LICO doesn’t measure), should I live in downtown Victoria or Vancouver? Shouldn’t I relocate to a smaller community where housing is cheaper? There are lots of complications to this, but some kind of incentive to relocate could help big and small communities.

Keep the conversation going Members of the PIPE UP Network thank MP Mark Strahl for a constructive meeting on November 23, 2012. It was a lively discussion, beginning with the clarification that Mr. Strahl did not mean to imply that the threats of violence mentioned in his letter to The Progress had any connection to the PIPE UP Network (“Strahl eager to continue dialogue” Progress November 15). As community minded residents, PIPE UP members are committed to showing respect for others in all interactions and events, and to working in the best interests of our community. The discussion with Mr. Strahl ranged from the environmental risks to the economics of tar sands pipelines, and addressed both local and global consequences. We found agreement with Mr. Strahl

about the importance of jobs and the economy, the threat posed by climate change, and the need for policy to be advised by science. Our views diverged about acceptable risks to human health and the environment, Canada’s role in contributing to climate change and credibility of the National Energy Board to decide the future of pipeline development in our community. We also differed about the vision of where our environment and our economy should be in 30 to 50 years. We believe that government should consider not only short-term economics, but also the longer view, and the kind of world we want our children and grandchildren to inherit. We hope that Mr. Strahl’s constituents in the communities of the Chilliwack–Fraser Canyon rid-

ing will engage with him as their federal representative and ensure he pays attention to the impacts and risks posed by the transport of tar sands, not only on our global climate, but also to our drinking water aquifer, local waterways, businesses, properties, farms, and schools. We encourage members of the PIPE UP Network and our communities to educate themselves and engage with their political representatives about current tar sands shipments and the proposal by Kinder Morgan to build a second tar sands pipeline through our region. We encourage residents to connect with us at: http://pipe-up. net/ and join in piping up for the health and well-being of our community and our environment.

A call for a downtown referendum An open letter to the mayor, city councilors, and all those who live in or have lived in our quaint, eccentric little city of Chilliwack. I have lived in Chilliwack long enough to have witnessed numerous attempts by the City to ‘fix downtown.’ Whether it was rearranging traffic patterns, changing parking patterns, awnings, fixed metal awnings, flags, or flowers, it has all failed. Now, since the City seems to feel that they have exhausted all options, they want to clear the slate and start all over by destroying everything and rebuild from the ground up. Let’s be clear here, any plan to revitalize downtown ended the day the city decided to build the new Cultural Centre in a sports field, rather than around the Paramount Theatre, and the final nail in the coffin, so to speak, was when the Eagle Landing development was approved. Let Downtown Chilliwack be. We have a huge historical asset with our downtown and all its historical buildings. It could be a destination in itself. It could attract tourists from far reaching destinations who appreciate what we have downtown – history. We all thought a community plan was in place…at least prior to

the building of the Cultural Centre in a sports field…but something went wrong! The City cited getting absentee owners on board as the stumbling block for the Community Plan vision. Now that the City has purchased/obtained a large number of those downtown buildings, city council wants to wipe those buildings off the face of the Earth. Downtown is not the hub anymore and hasn’t been for some time now. Cottonwood/Chilliwack Mall is. That is ‘new’ Chilliwack. What is currently ‘old’ Chilliwack or (as the signs would lead you to believe) ‘historic’ Chilliwack, is what we have today: a collection of old heritage buildings out of the way from the hustle and bustle of the new ‘hub’. It is what it is, just let it be. The City now has the power to go forward with the original community plan…the one where the entertainment district is centered around the Paramount (except the Cultural Centre is in the middle of a sports field). Rather than spending hundreds of thousands of dollars demolishing downtown, put that money into restoring it. Heck, the City slammed the door on the face of a concerned group that wanted to restore the Paramount Theatre…at no cost to the City;

proof that the citizens of Chilliwack have an appetite to save its historical downtown. But the mayor and council do not. Personally, I think there should be a referendum on the matter. Anytime a mayor wants to destroy your city and flatten it, that calls for a public inquiry, don’t you think?! I mean really, 20 years from now our children’s children might be asking us why we let the mayor destroy our downtown to nothing but rubble and parking lots? Is that what the mayor and city council wants as their legacy? Because if they go ahead with their vision of downtown, that’s what they will get. The referendum question should be as follows: 1. Do you approve the spending of millions of taxpayers’ dollars, in the acquisition of historical buildings east of Young along Yale Road by the City of Chilliwack, with the purpose of demolishing them in preparation for possible investor development? 2. Do you wish the City to promote the downtown core as a historic district, spending far less in the preservation and restoration of the historical buildings we already have? Brad Shaw

I have great admiration for passionate people. From what I’ve observed, people with great passion often create great things. For Michael Cade, his passion has always been in theatre. He lives it and breathes it, and for him, he wouldn’t want it any other way. Michael was the baby of his family and they doted on him. His father was a postal supervisor while his mother took care of their four children. “Once I was old enough, mom took on a job outside the home as a home care aid,” he said. As a youngster, Michael was a model child who was enthralled and very involved in the arts. “I put on puppet shows at the church and did plays for the neighbourhood kids. I was also into drawing and painting,” he explained. In school, he excelled at math and theatre and admits that if he hadn’t gone into theatre, he would have probably gone into accounting. Michael concedes that no one in his family, to the best of his recollection, was artistic. “My family loved me and supported me and there was always a willingness on their part to let me do what I wanted to do and what I had to do. I loved the arts and they let me be me,” he said thankfully. Through high school, Michael was the biggest and brightest star on stage. He loved performing and once he left school and began attending the University of Victoria, for two years, he dreamed of becoming a great actor. Then eventually, upon reflection, he recognized that the lifestyle wasn’t for him. “Many performers, even though they were good,

were waiting on tables and driving taxis to supplement their income. Being a starving actor was just not for me so I chose to be good at what I did in a different way. It was just not my calling in life, so I took a year off and worked to save Ana some Macedo money and then went to UBC. I loved what I was doing but I didn’t particularly like UBC so again, I took a year off and worked. I even worked at Canada Post while going to school,” he said. Michael eventually returned to UVic both as a student and as a staff member. “I headed up their props department and once my studies were complete, I earned a degree in Technical Theatre and Theatre Design.” He worked in Victoria for a time then left for Vancouver, did a stint in Kelowna and then Regina and eventually wound up in his home-

these conferences, I’ll watch 11 to 15 shows or parts of shows per day,” he said. During his off time, Michael loves movies, as if there was ever a question. “I have a passion for popcorn and big budget movies,” he chuckled. He admits to being totally addicted to reality TV and is fascinated and captivated by Disney theme parks. “To me, they’re pure art. I’m passionate about public art.” While he’s thankful for many things, one of the things that Michael cherishes most is the time that he was able to spend with his mother before she passed away from the ravages of ALS, a disease sometimes known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. “I was very close to mom and I’m so glad to have spent as much time with her as I did. She was a loving, generous and free-spirited woman who loved life and who always had a free smile and laughter. Even as the disease progressed, she still loved life. What an incredible person she was!” he said, with sheer admiration.

Three years ago, Michael moved to Chilliwack to take on the position of Artistic Managing Director for the Chilliwack Arts and Culture Society, in addition to being Executive Director of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. He successfully launched the facility here after having launched new theatre buildings in Victoria and Vernon, something that he found very gratifying. Michael reflects, he analyses and calculates before making a decision. “I had never done weaving before, for instance. At this facility, I decided to take it on because it’s important to understand the rhythm of the various things,” he noted, as I admired his woven creations, lying on a wall cabinet behind his desk. His job is intense and time consuming; a challenge that he welcomes. “I go to a show once every two weeks and I also attend national booking conferences. At

Junia Reinhardt, a Grade 12 student at Chilliwack secondary, delivers hot coffee and banana bread to a customer during the school’s African Relief Club drive-through fundraiser on Wednesday morning. The coffee was donated by Decades Coffee Club and the banana bread was purchased from a woman who donates money to an orphanage in Africa. The students were selling the coffee or banana bread for $2 each, and all of the money raised that day will go to projects and orphanages in Africa.

Vigil from page 6 Polytechnique, the engineering school at the University of Montreal. They were murdered because they were women. Ask young UFV students about the Montreal Massacre and few may know the details since 1989 was 23 years ago — long enough that many UFV students were not yet even born, notes Morry. “The National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women is not just about the Montreal Massacre,” she adds. “It’s about the 582 Aboriginal women that the Native Women’s Association of Canada says were missing or murdered as of 2010. “It’s about the Highway of Tears, where women, including Nicole Hoar, Tamara Chipman and Aielah Saric Auger, have disappeared during the past 40 years. It’s about the Shafia sisters Zainab, Sahar and Geeti and their father’s first wife Rona Ambrose Mohammad, whose bodies were found in a submerged car in the Kingston Locks, and whose brother, mother and father were convicted of their murders. “It’s about Sereena Abotsway, Mona Wilson, Andrea Joesbury, Georgina Papin, Marnie Frey and Brenda Wolfe, the six women murdered on a Port Coquitlam pig farm, and all the other women, missing from the Downtown Eastside, including Dawn Crey from Chilliwack. “It’s about women afraid to walk alone at night, women physically and sexually assaulted, women stalked and threatened, and women murdered by their spouses.” NOW OPEN SUNDAYS NOON - 4PM

NDP call for more local grower support NDP from Front And at the end of the day, Les said, food purchases come out of the health care budget. “Health authorities are trying to focus as much of their budget as they can on patient care,” he said. Les called the NDP plan “simplistic” because “when the rubber of reality hits the road, it’s not that easy” for hospitals to buy locally. However, Dix said 33 states and provinces, including Ontario, already have policies in place for governmentfunded bodies to use their institutional buying power to support and promote locally grown and processed food. “That’s what we’d like to see more of,” Dix told The Progress, adding that the FHA’s contractual agreements don’t preclude it from buying locally. “There’s clearly room to buy local to

improve the quality of food,” he added. According to a recent survey of acute care patients in the FHA, only 54 percent of those who responded found the food served in area hospitals satisfactory. D’Angelo suggested that’s not surprising since the sodium content of hospital food is reduced for health reasons. “Most people’s diets are too high in sodium, so when they come to hospital they feel the food is bland,” she said. “We are always adjusting our menus to support the better health of patients and residents, and buying local, when we are able, is one of the ways we do this,” she said. The FHA serves about 5 million meals to patients and residents every year, she said, spending about $9.7 million.

“Mertin Hyundai is proud to support the work of the CHHCF. We believe that the mandate of this organization around improving community health and focusing on local issues that are unique to our Community are key to making a difference. We are excited to be part of the improvement of the alarming health statistics for this part of British Columbia and are committed to assisting CHHCF in their efforts around preventative education along with projects and initiatives that will create a healthier community.” — Paul Mertin, Mertin Hyundai “La Leche League and Fraser Health are working to help Chilliwack become a Baby Friendly community. It is well researched and documented that one of the best ways to ensure healthy children is to support new mothers in breastfeeding for as long as possible. We are thrilled with the new partnership we are developing with the Chilliwack Hospital & Health care Foundation. They recently facilitated the establishment of a breast feeding lounge at the Health and Wellness Expo, which is a great step in making sure that local events recognize the importance of creating environments that make it easier for moms to make the choice to breastfeed.” — Michelle Dennill, La Leche League Leader, Chilliwack

Christmas Greens & Stems are in, or choose from pre-made wreaths & swags!

Mmmmm! Nothing smells as nice for the Christmas season as fresh greens inside our homes. It’s good to see folks coming back to more traditional Christmas decorating, but keeping greens fresh is important. There are all kinds of fresh greens you can enjoy indoors, but I always look for two qualities: one is how long they will stand up under dry conditions and the other is their fraBrian grance. For both MINTER longevity and fragrance, it is hard to beat pine. All pine varieties have a wonderful scent, but one of the most attractive is Pinus strobus or White Pine. Its soft blue needles look so graceful, and they can be used in a variety of situations, particularly to accent fresh flowers and centerpieces. The long-needled Pinus ponderosa is also attractive, especially when branch tips are cut and placed in a large vase. The best use of these branches, however, is for door swags. With their naturally curved tips and large cones, they look perfect when combined with a big red velvet bow and a few shiny baubles and Christmas novelties. The rich blue needles of Scotch pine are also great to use in a variety of situations. True fir or the abies family is my second choice for indoor greens. Balsam and Grand Fir are very good when it comes to retaining needles and when you brush your hand against their boughs, the fragrance puts you back in the woods. I particularly like the silver underside of their needles. The flat nature of their branches makes these greens ideal for swags or for advent and traditional wreaths. Blue spruce is the ultimate picea, and its branches make beautiful door swags as well. The needles on spruce, however, do not last as long as abies or pine, and they are sharp, making them somewhat more dif-

Using a piece of florist’s oasis in a low bowl, arrange a variety of colourful green tips from yellow, blue, gold, green and bronze foliaged trees. A twisted stem of contorted filbert, one or two tall thin candles, bits of moss and a few dried perennials can be added for a finishing touch. It’s a very creative way to wow your friends and guests, and it will last right through the festive season. Cut branches are no different than cut flowers. Seven to ten days is about the maximum time for any greens to be indoors without being in water. Try to have an extra supply on hand so you can replenish your creations and keep them fresh looking. By cutting about one inch off the bottom of each stem and by keeping them in room temperature water, the life span of most greens can be tripled. Also a well known product, called Wilt Pruf, is an organic anti-desiccant ready-to-use spray that coats boughs and trees with a clear film to make them last two to three times longer. Christmas greens are so nice inside our homes at this time of year. They’re inexpensive, natural and fragrant. To enjoy them longer, be sure to mist them often and keep them in water if at all possible.

ficult to work with. Douglas Fir, named after Alexander Douglas, a British botanist who collected specimens of West Coast trees and took them back to Britain, is neither a spruce nor a fir - that’s why they are classified as ‘pseudo tsuga menziesii’. They have a delightful fragrance and make beautiful looking Christmas trees, but unfortunately, their branches dry out far too quickly to make them an ideal green for indoor use. Hemlocks are much the same: lovely, but difficult both for drying out and for needle drop. Cedar is an old time favourite for many reasons, but I’m afraid it also has a short lifespan indoors. If you can keep it in a cool room or use it outside the home, its pendulous branches are useful in swags, wreaths and most importantly, in cedar ropes. Another super idea is to pull all the spent flowers from your moss hanging baskets and replace them with all kinds of cedar tips to create wonderful Christmas baskets. Add a few frosted cones, some holly and a big red bow with long tails, and you’ve got a very attractive addition to your outside décor. One of the most unique and attractive ideas that I’ve seen in a long time is a traditional European greens arrangement.

New twist on a classic fairy tale Head down under for ‘The Ugliest Duckling’ Everyone thinks they’re an ugly duckling occasionally, but what if instead you found out you were a platypus? Join the Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society for the heartwarming tale of The Ugliest Duckling on Dec. 2, at 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. As the second show in the Society’s Kids Series, Tears of Joy Puppet Theatre makes their Cultural Centre debut with a perfect puppetry performance based on the 1843 tale by Danish poet Hans Christian Andersen. Audiences will be transported into a vibrant world of hand-crafted puppets and memorable characters, all set to live didgeridoo music – it’s an Australian take on the classic fairy tale. The Ugliest Duckling is set in a “billabong,” a small lake in Australia and stars a cast of vibrant and colourful creatures, a new twist to the old tale. Can you imagine mother duck’s surprise when a platypus hatches from one of her eggs? Frustrated by his differences, and tired of not fitting in, Yuckay the platypus sets off on an adventure of discovery. On his journey, Yuckay gains self-confidence as he uses his talents to help his family, bravely facing Kurreah the Crocodile, and meeting other

She will be accompanied by Glen Cuthbertson, who will be performing several other pieces in the program. Cuthbertson won his first ever trophy at the music festival this year, but he says his real trophy “is my rebuilt Steinway D concert grand,” which he restored himself. He was born profoundly deaf, and with determination and love of music, has become a pianist, music teacher, and piano tuner. Cuthbertson says his life story might “encourage parents to try to let their children work at a passion of theirs, even if it seems to not make sense at the time.

“Let life unfold, and some surprises are bound to happen.” The youngest musicians at the youthful evening will be in Tayosei, the Academy of Music’s children’s choir. “Hearing them perform at the Lions Music Festival Honours Concert was a treat!” said Director Graham Yates. “This performance should be just as much fun.” The Chilliwack Festival Chorus will perform some ancient seasonal pieces, including the Apple Tree Wassail. “It is lovely to see so many young musicians come out for this event, said Paula Quick, director of the Chilliwack Festival Chorus and President of the FVPS. “I expect to see some of them in the years ahead as professionals in the FVPS concerts.” They’re thrilled to be performing in the UFV theatre this

Award-winning local youth musicians will start the season of giving by donating their time and talent Dec. 1 to raise money for the Fraser Valley Philharmonic Society (FVPS) at a “A Youth-full Christmas Concert.” The group includes Nina Payne, a young soprano whose work recently earned her a place as the provincial rep in Classical Voice for the Vancouver Kiwanis Clubs. Payne won the Slater Cup in 2010 for most outstanding vocalist, in her age category of 17 years and under. “I’ve been treated so well and given so many opportunities here in Chilliwack.

Described as everything from indie-roots to chamber-folk, their acoustic blend of instruments and four-part harmonies challenges the conventions of popular music to create a performance that is both engaging and innovative. Songs are created through a collaborative process: wellcrafted and clever lyrics, acrobatic mandolin riffs, flawless bass lines, and richly textured accordion combine as every member brings for ward their own ideas and experiences.

unique creatures such as a Kookaburra and Piggliebillah, the Spiny Anteater. Each character is brought to life with puppeteers Aaron Lathrop and Gina Leigh – from a kangaroo to a koala to a very large and toothy crocodile. This delightful kid-friendly production is poignant, charming and conveys a relatable message; acceptance of the qualities that make you different. A fusion of original didgeridoo music with a cast of colourful puppets, the tale of The Ugliest Duckling is brilliantly presented by performers dressed from head to toe in black, a technique used by puppeteers to accentuate the focus on the puppets instead of themselves.

Don’t let fitness take a vacation this holiday season

Christmas decorations are making their debut, and the smell of fresh baked gingerbread cookies is in the air. Sticking to

a healthy eating plan and regular exercise routine can be a battle any day of the year. During the holidays, however, festive feasts,

willpower-impairing spirits, and tempting chocolate truffles team up to challenge even the most resolute health nut. During the

holiday frenzy, seemingly, the numbers on the bathroom scale can increase almost as fast as the bank balance dwindles.

Tips to keep fit during the holidays same size you are now. If you do find yourself a pound or two heavier in 2013, keep in mind that what you do from January and November is more important than what you do in December.

The holidays should be enjoyed- and that may mean having a few treats that are avoided during the other eleven months. The holiday season flaunts countless opportunities to stray from a healthy diet.

Hills back in form as Chiefs offence soars Eric J. Welsh, The Progress

It seems weird to think about it now, but at the beginning of the 2012-13 BCHL season, the Chilliwack Chiefs couldn’t score. It was a concern through the first few weeks of the season, with no one emerging as a lamp-lighting threat. Things got better when the big line got going. Josh Hansen, Austin Plevy and Luke Esposito found their groove and started putting plenty of pucks in the net, but the Chiefs were still a one line team. Early in the season, Trevor Hills was part of the problem. Hills, Ryan Donohoe and Garret Forster were three guys who were being counted on for secondary scoring, and none were getting it done. “I kind of felt like I was snakebitten early in the season,” Hills admitted. What few people knew at the time was that Hills was fighting through some tough

injuries. The New York kid hurt his hip in the preseason, an injury that removed his greatest offensive weapon. His speed.

“I missed some preseason games, which set me back a little bit, but it’s not something you want to blame,” Hills said. “It is tough to

get things going when you’re in and out of the lineup with injuries. Then it was a concussion sidelining him for five games.

The first documented concussion of his career was an eye-opening experience. “You’ve got to take a step back and think of

the big picture,” Hills said. “I didn’t want to mess up my future, and the real world after hockey. I didn’t want to hurry anything, so I just took my time to make sure I was right.” Not until three weeks ago did Hills finally start looking like the player we expected to see. With the old jump back in his legs, Hills was free to play his game, using his speed to create chances for himself and his linemates. At a couple recent home games, No. 23 in red was the most dangerous guy on the ice. Two goals and one assist earned Hills first star honours in a 5-4 win over the Penticton Vees on Nov. 10. “I got that one against Penticton and ever since then things have been coming to me,” Hills noted. “Everyone always says that once you get one it starts coming, and it kind of has.” Quietly, he’s now up to five goals and 14 points in 20 games, and skating alongside a similarly rejuvenated Donohoe (21-8-7-15)

and second year winger Jaret Babych (25-7-310), the Chiefs are no longer a one line team. “We’re taking some of the pressure off the top line, and it really helps when that happens,” Hills said. “Everyone relaxes and the goals seem to come easier. It makes it tough on other teams too. We have four strong lines with skilled guys and grinders, and how does another team match up against that?” No one’s been able to lately. Chilliwack has 85 goals this season. Penticton (86) and Alberni Valley (89) have scored more, but they’ve also played more games. On a goals-per-game basis, Chilliwack (3.40) trumps the Vees (3.31) and Bulldogs (3.30). The Chiefs carry that firepower into a Sunday night tilt with the Trail Smoke Eaters. Puck drop is 5 p.m. at Prospera Centre, and don’t forget that it’s Teddy Bear/Toque Toss night. Throw them on the ice when the Chiefs score their first goal of the game.

Grizzlies face Notre Dame with provincial title on the line GW Graham’s Grade 8 football team is excited to play a provincial final this Saturday. But they probably wish they didn’t have to get up so early. The Grizzlies face Notre Dame under the big top at BC Place Stadium, with kickoff set for 8 a.m. The team is not staying in a Vancouver-area hotel the night before. Rather, they’re

boarding a bus in Chilliwack at 5:30 a.m., planning to arrive at the stadium around seven. If ever a bunch of Grade 8 kids had a case for drinking coffee and energy drinks, this is it. But head coach Laurie Smith doesn’t expect the early start to affect his exuberant bunch, who are absolutely jacked to be playing in the biggest game of their lives.

“We expect our guys to play their best game, because they know what’s on the line and understand the historical importance of the game,” Smith said. “They have responded well to pressure all season and we expect ND to be their toughest test. But we are confident that if the players do their jobs and execute, we will be successful.” The first year team has

accomplished great things to get this far, knocking off AAA heavyweights Vancouver College and St. Thomas More in back to back playoff upsets. Their toughest task awaits as they take on a Notre Dame squad that went 5-1 in the regular season and knocked off Handsworth (34-14) and Lord Tweedsmuir (30-0) in the playoffs.

is daunting. They put up 30.5 points per game during the regular season, but they face a defensive monster in the Grizzlies, who yielded just 11 points per game. If GWG can limit Notre Dame on offence, their own playmakers have a chance to win the game. The Grizzlies were no offensive slouches during the season, putting up 28.3

points per game. “We expect a really tough game from ND,” Smith said. “They are fast and aggressive and run a well executed jet formation running game. Their blocking and tackling is excellent and they are positionally sound and well coached. We will need our best game to be successful.” Catch a full game report in the Tuesday Progress sports section.

High school hoops back in action Chilliwack secondary school hosts three days of senior boys basketball action Dec. 6-8 at its annual tournament. CSS is joined another local squad, Unity Christian, and 10 outof-town teams. The field includes Maple Ridge, Penticton, Elgin Park (Surrey), GP Vanier (Courtenay), Sa Hali (Kamloops), Templeton

The CSS Storm open the tournament early Thursday morning, with an 8 a.m. tipoff versus the Unity Christian Flames. A win would have them facing Valleyview in a 3 p.m. tipoff. A loss would have them inactive until

Friday morning and a game against either Elgin Park or Maple Ridge. Meanwhile, several senior girls teams are in action in an all-local Girls Basketball Showcase. On Thursday night, the GW Graham Grizzlies face the UC Flames in a 6:15 tipoff at Sardis secondary school. That game is followed by a 7:45 p.m.

Colton Peterson had a solid outing in the 15-and-over boys division, placing first in the 400m individual medley and third in the 100m breaststroke. He placed fourth in the 200m backstroke and fifth in the 200m fly. In the same group, Carson Olafson earned silver in three races, the 100m freestyle, 200m fly and 200m backstroke.

Loser points keeping Mainland divison tight We’re one step away from handing out participant ribbons to teams that lose in regulation, writes Jacob Bestebroer The Chilliwack Chiefs are in Prince George tonight and tomorrow night for a pair of very important games. Despite being a nine hour bus ride away from the Lower Mainland, Prince George is indeed in the Mainland division, and

they are currently just six points behind the first place Chiefs. Things tightened up in the division last week thanks to Surrey winning twice in overtime in Prince George. Like most hockey leagues, the BCHL gives out two points for

a win and no points for a loss. Unless you lose in overtime. Then you get a loser point. Handing out loser points is ridiculous. Prince George has played the same number of games as the Chiefs (25) and has five fewer wins. Move each team’s overtime losses into the loss column and the Chiefs record would be 17-7-1. Do the same to Prince George and their record is 12-12-1. Yet just six points sepa-

rate the two teams. It’s all very Canadian Football League like, with the CFL giving a single point to teams that MISS field goals. I’d be fine with eliminating overtime all together, but equally fine with keeping it the way it is and eliminating the single point given out to teams that lose in extra time. As it stands we’re one step away from handing out ‘participant’ ribbons to teams that lose in regulation. In between Chilliwack and Prince George are

Chilliwack remained the BCHL’s highest ranked team at ninth.

On Saturday, UFV rallied from a 33-22 halftime deficit to edge the Winnipeg Wesmen 68-62. The two wins pushed UFV’s CIS Canada West record to 5-3. The Cascades played strong defence from start to finish against the Wesmen, but it was cold shooting that had them in an early hole. UFV shot a tepid 27 per cent in the first half, but the Wesmen were still within reach when the shots started dropping. The Cascades outscored the Wesmen by 11 points in the third quarter, led by Toronto native Kevon Parchment. The first year guard was on fire, hitting for 12 of his 20 points. Tied as the fourth quarter started, UFV outscored Winnipeg by six down the stretch to complete the comeback. “I am very proud of my teammates tonight,” said veteran forward and Surrey native Kyle Grewal. “When we were down at the half we regrouped and had a great second half.” UFV takes on the Brandon Bobcats tomorrow in their second to last game before the holiday break.
