Bus drivers’ biffy cost $56,000

It’s a funny-looking structure in front of Salish Park. It’s the new, city-built washroom facilities for Chilliwack transit drivers, at an estimated cost of $56,000. “It was built because the bus drivers had nowhere to go, other than trying to rely on the kindness of local merchants,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “It was all part of updating our transit system.” Part of the costs were associated with plumbing and electrical work, which isn’t “chump change,” she added. It was also time to address the deficiency of a dedicated washroom for the drivers. “They are very appreciative. It was time to do something about it,” said Gaetz. The small facility will be for the exclusive use of Chilliwack transit drivers only. “I see it as us looking after our bus drivers. We needed to do that. When they ask for something reasonable, like a bathroom, we’ll make it happen for them.”

Bella Melnuk, a Grade 6 student from Robertson elementary, helps decorate a Christmas tree as part of the Festival of Trees at the Coast Chilliwack Hotel on Wednesday. A dozen children from the school decorated one of 10 trees on display in the hotel lobby. Robertson’s theme was ‘green tree’ and all of their handmade ornaments were made from recycled materials such as popsicle sticks, film canisters, jigsaw puzzles, yarn, pine cones and even old math worksheets. The trees were donated by Highland L Christmas Tree Farm. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Chilliwack school trustees continued to wrangle over policy matters at the Tuesday board meeting, but managed to agree on a few items like a Rotary Club football sponsorship at G.W. Graham middle/secondary School. And the spending of $217,392 for two 42-passenger wheelchair buses. But most of the three-hour meeting was taken up by debate, heated at times, about who

makes school board policy — the trustees or district staff. The board earlier approved hiring a consultant in the hope of finding a way out of its dysfunctional morass. A motion on interim policy development was the first battleground Tuesday. The motion recommended that after a new policy or policy amendment comes to the board, it would go to staff for research and to draft a policy that would be returned to trustees for final approval. The motion also called for

the deletion of Policy 200 — the development of policies and regulations — and the deletion of the board policy committee from Policy 222 that sets out the board’s committees. Trustee Doug McKay, who made the motion, must have seen the opposition it would encounter from other trustees. “This is not a clandestine plan to circumvent policy,” he began. “It mirrors what we do right now, with the exception that instead of trustees crafting or drafting policy ... staff would do it.”

“What we are giving up as trustees is the writing of policy,” he said. But that didn’t sit well with trustees Heather Maahs, Martha Wiens or Silvia Dyck, who believe it is the responsibility of elected trustees to make policy. Dyck opposed the motion because she felt it “redundant” as board policy already states that policy matters come to trustees first for review, and then they direct staff to develop a policy.

B.C. falling behind in skills training, says NDP MLA B.C. construction industry official disagrees Robert Freeman The Progress

The B.C. construction industry has gone to California and Ireland to recruit skilled workers because of the shortage of skilled workers here, says Chilliwack-Hope MLA Gwen O’Mahony, NDP critic for skills training. “We don’t have those skilled workers ready because beginning in 2004, the Liberals dismantled B.C.’s trades training and apprenticeship system,” she said. But Manley McLachlan, president of the BC Construction Association, disagrees. “The shortage of workers is not the result of anything the current

government could have done on the training side,” he said. “It’s not a training issue.” But there is a “built-in skills gap,” he said, as some 38,000 skilled workers in B.C. will be retiring in the next few years. “That’s where the demand is coming from,” he said. McLachlan confirmed the industry has gone to job fairs in Indio, California and Dublin, Ireland because of the demand for workers with proven skills specific to the resource sector. But he said the recruitment drive was a “pre-emptive” move to head off the looming retirements of skilled workers who would otherwise be passing on their skills to

new workers. If three of seven liquid natural gas projects in northern B.C. go forward, he said, “that will result in 10,000 construction jobs by 2017” and an additional 9,000 on the operational side to run the new plants. And those new workers will need the construction of new houses, schools and malls, he said. Foreign workers were sought only after all avenues were exhausted to find Canadians for the jobs, according to a BCCA news release. “We are not taking away jobs from people here at home,” Abigail Fulton, BCCA vice-president, said in the release. “We’re looking for very specific skills and experience,” she said. “There’s an immediate shortage and we expect that to continue.”

O’Mahony said she didn’t entirely disagree with McLachlan, that immigration will be a factor in filling the shortage of skilled workers in B.C. “We are definitely going to have to look to immigration, I’m not entirely disagreeing,” she said. “But in the last 10 years, with the Liberals in charge of skills training, I think the numbers show they’ve fallen short of providing crucial opportunities right here in B.C.” “The numbers tell me there is an available pool of workers who would benefit from a skills training plan that made sense, right here in our own province,” O’Mahony said. The total unemployed in B.C. in 2009 was 6.8 per cent or 167,500 and youth unemployment in the same year was 12.2 per cent or

Cancer claims RCMP police dog Cargo Cargo, the RCMP police dog who figured in several stories of canine courage in Chilliwack, has died just weeks before he was set to retire. RCMP Const. Michael Jordan had taken Cargo out for his post-shift run Dec. 10 when he noticed the nine-year-old dog was lacking energy and seemed to have some internal distress. Jordan immediately took Cargo to the nearest vet, who found he was riddled with cancer. “Shortly thereafter, Cargo passed away,” RCMP Sgt. Peter Thiessen said in a news release. Cargo was set to retire in January 2013, Thiessen said, when he would have gone from a working dog to a family pet. But Jordan said police service dogs love their work. “Cargo worked right up until the end without hesitation and with no previous signs of illness,” Jordan said. “He’s been a great companion and partner as we have done a lot together and he will be greatly missed,” Jordan said. Thiessen said Cargo and Jordan trained together in 2005 and have been working together in Chilliwack since 2006. As part of the RCMP breeding program, Cargo sired 20 litters with the last litter of pups arriving in May this year. Cargo has numerous offspring working within the Police Dog Service across Canada, Thiessen said, including a few in the Lower Mainland’s Integrated Police Dog Service. Cargo had an extensive service history, he said, and was involved in events like the 2006 G8/G20 Summit, the NATO Summit, and the 2010 Olympic Games. Cargo was also an explosives specialist and often worked with the Emergency Response Team. He was even the guard dog for Prime Minister Harper on several occasions, Thiessen said, and starred in RCMP recruitment commercials seen in movie theatres before the film trailers. In B.C., Jordan and Cargo worked on the EnCana pipeline bombings in Dawson

Creek and Cargo tracked and caught a suspect who had killed an innocent victim. Cargo also caught several bank robbers and a taxi cab robber in Chilliwack. This summer, Cargo located a missing Chilliwack senior suffering from Alzheimer’s in less than 30 minutes, saving her from any harm she might have otherwise encountered. In 2007, Cargo took down a syringewielding man who had robbed a Chilliwack taxi driver. Const. Lea-Anne Dunlop, RCMP media liaison officer at the time, said Jordan and Cargo were on the scene in less than 10 minutes and tracked the suspect to Edward Street near the hospital where he was arrested half an hour later. But not without a fight. “The male appeared to be high at the

time, and he tried to fight with the dog,” Dunlop said. The suspect, a 23-year-old transient, was arrested and taken to hospital with puncture wounds in his arms from the fight with Cargo. “Police dog handlers and their dogs attend to calls of this nature frequently, and place themselves in harm’s way to help keep our communities safe, often while much of the community is safe at home in their beds for the night,” Dunlop said. “This is a clear example of excellent police work in apprehending this suspect who posed a great threat to public safety,” she said. Thiessen said Cargo has been cremated and his ashes will stay with Const. Jordan and his family.

43,300, she said. “We know the rates are higher now,” she said. And there are many others working at minimum wage jobs, she said, “who would like to obtain employment that pays better — and that’s exactly what they would find in the trades.” “Despite their ‘jobs plan’ the Liberals have put no new money into skills training in the 2012 budget,” O’Mahony said. “It’s no surprise that apprenticeship completion rates have fallen from 43 to 37 per cent from 2009/10 to 2011/12,” she said. “This year is on track to be even worse, at just 35 per cent to date,” she said.

A new poll of Lower Mainland drivers who use the Port Mann Bridge shows many plan to shift to untolled routes to avoid the new tolls – especially once a half-price introductory discount ends. The online survey conducted by Insights West suggests traffic congestion is set to worsen further on free crossings of the Fraser River such as the Alex Fraser and Pattullo bridges. It shows a third of commuters who normally used the Port Mann Bridge at least weekly intend to actively seek out new routes to avoid the toll. A third said they will drive over the bridge less often while 45 per cent said they will keep using it and pay the tolls. The same drivers were also asked what they will do once the half-price introductory discount ends and they’re paying $3 tolls to use the new bridge. More than 55 per cent of weekly Highway 1 users said they’ll seek new routes after the toll doubles and just 31 per cent said they’d keep on paying to cross. (For all Port Mann users, including less frequent ones, 46.4 per cent said they’d seek out new routes, 33 per cent said they’d use the bridge less often and 34.5 per cent said they’d use it as usual and pay the toll. Respondents could give more than one answer so results add up to more than 100 per cent.) Insights West president Steve Mossop said the findings show residents South of the Fraser like the new bridge but remain “bitterly opposed” to tolling of the Highway 1 crossing. Only time will tell, he said, whether the Port Mann ends up suffering lower-than-expected traffic volumes because of the toll, as happened with TransLink’s Golden Ears Bridge.

Making big waves in the local pool Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Making Waves Chilliwack is making it easier for special needs kids to get swimming lessons. They’re actively seeking volunteers after establishing a local notfor-profit chapter of Making Waves Canada in Chilliwack, an organization founded in Quebec a few years ago. The idea is to offer discounted swimming lessons for children with various special needs, from Down syndrome to autism, epilepsy and more.

The first set of lessons wrapped up last Saturday morning at the Chilliwack Landing Leisure Centre. The next ones start the first Saturday morning in February. Peters is one of the head swimming instructors, along with Laura Friesen, who originally approached him about taking on the Making Waves project, in partnership with the Leisure Centre.

who supervise, facilitate and train all the Making Waves volunteers who must be university students according to the national criteria. Training of the university student volunteers will start in January. They have four consistent volunteers so far, and a couple of substitutes. “We need more!” he said. It makes a difference for families to be able to get these swimming lessons and water safety skills for such a good price, as many are working poor, and struggling to make ends meet. “It’s been amazing to watch how these students are able to improve,” Peters said. They adapt the lessons to the kids’ specific needs, and build a relationship with them. “Some became more relaxed in the water. With

It’s a real entrenched mindset.” The poll also found Lower Mainland residents remain split on whether the Port Mann should be tolled – 50.8 per cent support tolls while 45 per cent oppose them. Among frequent Port Mann users, 60 per cent oppose tolls while 40 per cent support them. “The issue of tolling seems to have divided Metro Vancouver into

Christmas time can be a heightened and stressful time for some families. Local RCMP and the City of Chilliwack’s public safety committee are putting out the message this season that there are resources to help in Chilliwack. The most important tip is recognizing when a situation is becoming unsafe and to seek support immediately. Here’s a handy guide on what to do to avoid triggers and stressors that can lead to domestic violence. RCMP doesn’t keep seasonal statistics, but they know that the incidents of family violence do increase over the holidays. “The emotional and financial stressors come to the forefront when alcohol is introduced into the situation at this time of year,” said RCMP Cpl. Len van Nieuwenhuizen. Sometimes in the heat of the moment, people forget about that expectations about the season can be wildly unrealistic. Plus alcohol acts as a disinhibitor, causing people to do things they would not otherwise do. When police arrive on-scene there are several avenues they can take, including a Keep the Peace file whereby one party is asked to leave and take a time out to think about the situation. “Family disputes are by far the most volatile and unpredictable situations we encounter as police officers,” said Cpl. Harinder Kheleh of the Chilliwack Serious Crime Unit. “We take them very seriously and make sure that the people involved have the support they need to move forward.” Here are some coping strategies that can be used to eliminate the possibility of domestic violence: • Discussions family finances long before the season and stick to the family budget

Tips on lowering the seasonal stress level

Focus on what’s important in life!

Stress from page 6 • Limit alcohol as increased alcohol consumption can lead to arguments that may not have happened otherwise; • Discuss how your time during the holidays is going to be spent and with whom, and • Always be aware of where the children are during these discussions. “It’s important to realize that this time of year is special for the moments, not for the material things,” said Cpl. van Nieuwenhuizen. “That’s what is valued most by families and children.” There are two transition houses in Chilliwack for those fleeing family violence: Ann Davis at 604-7923116 and Xolhemet at 604-858-0468. In Hope it’s the Hope and Area Transition Society at 604-869-5111. For family counselling support, contact Ann Davis Transition Society at 604-792-2760 or Chilliwack Community Services at 604-792-4267. If there is any violence or threats of violence made, please contact your local RCMP or call 911.

R AESIDE

The federal government needed the wisdom of Solomon to come up with a decision on the takeover of Nexen Inc. by CNOOC, a Chinese state-owned oil company. While Solomon’s wisdom was not available, the decision announced last Friday by Prime Minister Stephen Harper does cover a lot of bases and answer many concerns. The Canadian economy operates through the free enterprise system. Direct government involvement in the economy, by way of ownership of companies, has been drastically reduced in the past 20 years. At the same time, the oil sands are likely the greatest treasure trove of a scarce resource in the world, and they need vast amounts of capital to even begin to be developed. While many oil companies are involved in the oil sands, they have a finite limit on how much capital they can commit to their projects there — particularly when oil prices are unstable and demand is dropping in many markets. CNOOC wants to be part of the oil sands. Nexen offers that opportunity, even though it is not a major player there. In fact, most of its assets are outside Canada, but it is based in and run out of Calgary. Many Canadians of all political stripes have grave concerns about the Chinese government controlling and influencing a sector of the Canadian economy, and that’s a reasonable concern. That’s why Harper said that the Nexen purchase will be the last by a state-owned oil company, unless there are “exceptional circumstances.” What those are remains to be seen. Canada needs foreign capital. However, the federal government has not been nearly as vigilant as it should be after allowing takeovers. It has often stood by as companies are hollowed out by foreign buyers. The best example of this is Stelco in Hamilton, but there are many others. This time around, the government promises to be looking at Nexen’s operations on an ongoing basis and monitoring just how it operates under CNOOC control. This ongoing vigilance is necessary with large foreign takeovers, particularly in the resources field. China is welcome to invest in Canada. Whether Chinese companies are state-owned or private, they need to fully adhere to all Canadian laws, employ Canadians and be good corporate citizens in this country. They also need to keep their promises. If they do so, there should be no problems. ~ Black Press

Clean liquid natural gas can still be done

VICTORIA – On Friday, as the federal government was giving the green light to a Malaysian investment of billions more into northern B.C.’s liquefied natural gas megaproject, Coastal First Nations chiefs held their quarterly board meeting in Vancouver. These are now the most powerful aboriginal leaders in North America, bankrolled by U.S. environmental groups and their wealthy charity foundation backers as guardians of the Great Bear Rainforest. A major topic was the Haisla Nation, the Kitimat partner that abruptly quit its voluntary association with the Haida, Gitga’at and other communities over its plans to develop LNG exports. This discord comes at a bad time. Premier Christy Clark has bet heavily on LNG, not just for her government’s future, but the industrial and economic direc-

tion of the province for decades to come. Initial press reports were misleading. One had it that Haisla Chief Councillor Ellis Ross, the B.C. government’s key ally on LNG, was “buddying up” with the Harper government on the Enbridge oil pipeline proposed to go Tom to Kitimat, in the FLETCHER heart of Coastal First Nations territory. Not so. Both Ross and Coastal First Nations executive director Art Sterritt confirmed to me that they remain solidly against the Enbridge proposal. The disagreement is over how to power the processing of LNG, which the Haisla are pioneering with provincial assistance.

Sterritt said the Haisla and the rest of the group were in agreement until a few weeks ago. The plan was to follow Clark’s solemn vow to make B.C. LNG the “greenest” in the world. All parties acknowledge that some of B.C.’s shale gas will have to be burned to process and ship LNG to Asia. The initial idea was that one or two natural gas-fired power plants would be built, eventually backing up wind, small hydro and other renewable supplies. BC Hydro has 600 megawatts available from its dams, which would require new transmission capacity up to Kitimat to help run the first two LNG plants proposed in partnership with the Haisla. Then the play got bigger. The B.C. government transferred Crown land on Douglas Channel to the Haisla for an LNG project planned by Shell, PetroChina and Korea Gas. And Sterritt said

he started getting signals from Victoria that the industry doesn’t want to buy power from outside producers to drive LNG cooling and compression. Instead they wanted to power it directly with gas, using equipment called “mechanical drives” rather than electrical drives. In a letter to Haisla members explaining why he quit the Coastal First Nations, Ross said he was insulted by Sterritt’s comments that the Haisla were choosing “the dirtiest way possible” to ship LNG. Ross noted that emissions would be about the same if gas is burned in the LNG plant or in a power plant nearby. That’s true, but Sterritt points out a critical difference. If LNG producers are allowed to use single-purpose mechanical drives, no renewable energy can ever be added. And as more LNG producers rush into B.C., reserves that

would have lasted 75 to 100 years could be depleted in 30. And when the gas is gone? “These big, hulking plants that are going to be in Kitimat are just going to be sitting there, rotting,” Sterritt said. “It happens all over the world.” B.C.’s clean energy plan envisions extending the BC Hydro grid, developing run-of-river and wind farms such as the big offshore proposal off Haida Gwaii, and ultimately a future beyond oil and gas. Now, in their rush to develop LNG, Clark and Energy Minister Rich Coleman seem poised to abandon that strategy.

Family welcomes gift from ‘angels’ This story is about a threeyear-old girl name Sydney. Sydney was born with a rare chromosome disorder called IDIC 15, which is an extra chromosome 15. This disorder causes daily uncontrolled seizures, hypotonia (extremely low muscle tone), and physical and mental disabilities. Sydney is not able to walk, talk or communicate in any way. Through research and a support group, her family has learned the electronic tablets, such as iPads, have enabled chil-

dren with disabilities to learn and communicate with others. Sydney’s Nana, Karen, works at PriceSmart Foods and one day mentioned this at work. To her amazement, her supervisor John Nicholson and his wife, Trena brought in a gift for Sydney, wrapped in beautiful paper. John had bought her a Samsung Galaxy tablet, knowing it would change the little girl’s life. The following day, Peter (supervisor) and Kris, brought in another gift for her. It was a cover for her Galaxy tablet that

will enable her to take it with her everywhere. Sydney’s family would like the community to know what kind of care people are at PriceSmart. They have made Sydney part of the “PriceSmart family” and truly care about her well being. This was the most wonderful gift for a little girl, who will hopefully on day be able to say ‘Thank you’ all by herself, thanks to her special angels.

The strength of building covenants Re: Property rezoning has residents questioning democracy (Chilliwack Progress, Dec. 11) In 1995, the property owners in Chilliwack Mountain Estates were involved in a rezoning application by a developer. The property owners were subpoenaed to Supreme Court of B.C. by the developer want-

ing to have the building covenant removed from one of the properties to allow for the rezoning application to proceed. The residents were strongly opposed to this rezoning application. The Supreme Court judge decision, after investigating the building covenant on our properties in the Land Registry Office in New

Westminster, decided the covenant stood and would not be removed to provide for rezoning. This was a precedent setting step for real estate activity. It is strongly suggested the residents in this recent rezoning debate consider having the Land Registry Office review their property descrip-

Touched by kindness On December 5th, my twomonth-old son and I were waiting for our number to be called at the Mary Street LifeLabs. After a long morning of appointments, he was starting to squirm a little in his stroller. I took him out and placed him on me so we could cuddle until our number was called. After being called and checked in, I noticed a gentlemen waiting patiently near by. He approached me and said “you’re doing a great job” and motioned towards my son. I was stunned and wondered what he meant. Without me saying anything, he then said “I watched you in the waiting room and saw how attentive you were and how he just melted right into you when you picked him up. You can tell you have a special bond and I wanted you to know that you’re doing a great job with him.” My eyes welled

up and I said “thank you” but he was gone before I could say anything more. As such, I am hoping he is reading this so that he knows how much his actions meant to me. As a first-time Mom, I’m never sure I’m doing the right thing at the right time but I certainly do my absolute best all the time. To have someone take the time to not only notice others but to provide encouragement when it was clearly needed after a long day is something that is very rare these days. So to that gentleman, I say ‘Thank you’ from the bottom of my heart. I also want to promise him I will pay it forward and I can only hope my actions will have half the impact on someone else that his did on me. Sara Katchaluba

Board approves ‘GWG Rotary Field’ “What you’re changing is absolutely nothing,” she said. “I’m puzzled why we would change a perfectly good policy.” Maahs objected to the added time the “several more layers” the motion would add to making policy, in light of the current backlog of policy matters. “I don’t see that this process is the way to go right now,” she said. But trustee Walt Krahn said what the board is doing now simply isn’t working. “This will help us streamline (and) provide direction to staff who will do the research and consultation,” he said. “I think we can expedite the process because what we have right now is not working to my satisfaction,” he said. Maahs countered by suggesting “we have a cart running before the horse ... if a consultant is coming to advise the board on how to run things.” “Why are we making

changes before we meet this person?” she asked. McKay said he had hoped trustees would try the new approach to see if it would work. “I think we need to try it (and) if it doesn’t work, I’ll be the first to admit it,” he said. Tr ustee Bar r y Neufeld was “reluctantly in favor” of the motion, but he wanted more opportunity to consult the public on policy matters, especially the “hot potatoes” with political implications like the recent controversy over allowing religious materials to be handed out in Chilliwack schools. “I think that’s too much of a hot issue to leave up to staff,” Neufeld said. Board chair Louise Piper agreed that trustees should “try on” the new approach and the motion passed with Maahs, Dyck and Wiens opposed. Next came a bitter battle over deleting the board’s policy on policy-making, which was included in the motion.

Maahs felt it “illadvised of us as a policydriven, policy-making board to simply delete our policy on making policy — without anything to replace it.” “In effect, what we’ll be doing is deleting our jobs in the interim,” she said. “We will have no job description.” The deletion of Policy 200 and Policy 222 were eventually approved by 4-3 votes with Maahs, Wiens and Dyck opposed. But all the trustees found common ground in approving the Rotary Club football sponsorship at G.W. Graham Middle/ Secondary School and the spending of $217,392 on two 42-passenger wheelchair buses. The Rotary Club is making a $10,000 donation to the school

The final push is on to fill the hampers in the Christmas Sharing program. And with only a few days left to get your donations in, Chilliwack Community Services is reporting a few shortages. The Christmas Sharing program is a joint initiative between CCS and the Salvation Army. CCS, working with with several community partners collects toys for the hampers. The Salvation Army, meanwhile, gathers food donations for the hampers, which will be distributed next week. Last year more than 580 families received hampers. But donations are still needed – particularly for boys and girls between the ages of 13 and 17. Some of the requested items volunteers are struggling to find include pajamas, hoodies, jackets, cologne and perfume, make-up and hair accessories, and music like iTune gift certificates and Top 40 CDs. Donations can be dropped off before Dec. 17 at the Chilliwack or Cottonwood malls, or Chilliwack Community Services, 45938 Wellington Ave., between 9 am and 4:30 pm. Meanwhile, Ballam Furniture in Downtown Chilliwack is calling in Santa Claus to help it fill food hampers. Santa will be at the store, 45921 Wellington, on Dec. 14 and 15. Children can get their picture taken with the Big Guy, and while they’re at it, parents can enter to win a La-Z-Boy recliner. Every food or cash donation to the food bank earns an entry into the draw, which will be made Dec. 22.

NOTICE OF

in return for temporarily naming the school’s football field the “GWG Rotary Field” with a removable banner that will fly during home games until the end of the 2018 football season. Dyck pointed out that the board does not have a policy on corporate sponsorship. But Krahn argued that “corporate sponsorship usually carries some kind of commercial expectation, but that’s not the case with service clubs like Rotary.” “Corporate sponsorship usually means a corporation is expecting a dividend,” he said. “That doesn’t happen with a service club.” Said McKay: “It’s the right thing to do.” The temporary sponsorship was approved unanimously.

Sixty-three per cent of BC businesses do not feel prepared for the transition back to the Provincial Sales Tax (PST) on April 1, according to a recent survey by the BC Chamber of Commerce.

Sixty-two per cent were not aware of the changes that will be made to the PST, and 73 per cent did not feel they had received adequate information. The Chamber survey was able through its network to reach businesses of all sizes, sectors and regions of the province.

The PST workshop and luncheon will be held Jan. 31 at the Best Western Rainbow Country Inn. For more information on the transition back to the PST, businesses are encouraged to contact the Chilliwack Chamber.

FULL GROOMING SERVICE 2ND GENERATION GROOMER COURTNEY PENNER

The 13th Annual Christmas Emergency Services Food Drive was an “overwhelming success,” Chilliwack fire officials say. Over 20,000 food items and $2,300 in cash was collected during the three-hour blitz by firefighters from all six fire halls and by members of Chilliwack Search and Rescue and Emergency Social Services. “Members of the public were

again generous in their support which included $1,300 in cash donations,” Fire Chief Rick Ryall said in a new release. The Chilliwack Firefighters Charitable Society also made a $1,000 donation for a total $2,300 going to the Salvation Army’s Food Bank. Because it was not possible to get to all the households during the Dec. 10 blitz, the Chilliwack

Fire Department will continue to accept food donations until Dec. 21 at Fire Hall #1 located at the corner of Cheam Avenue and Young Road. The fire hall will be open for donations Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The Chilliwack Fire Departments thanks the public for their continued support, and wishes everyone a happy and safe holiday season.

and he was also heavily involved in school sports and band. “I had really good photography equipment and even did some weddings. In band, I played the trumpet and every year we travelled someAna where Macedo spectacular. I’ll never forget that,” he enthused. With graduation on the horizon, there were no shortage of construction jobs and Paul, who had been working for the Hope School District’s maintenance department in the summer, was looking forward to getting into that industry. “I was going to go to Fraser

Valley College because the way I looked at it, I was going to make millions in construction,” he laughed. By the time that he actually graduated, the industry had hit rock bottom and the college sent him a letter indicating that the construction course was being cancelled. “I understood why it was happening but it was disappointing.” For a year, Paul worked at various jobs before landing full time employment with the School Board in Boston Bar. “The fellow who did their maintenance and custodial work retired, so I got his job. I was there for five years and then transferred to Hope, where I worked for the next 10 years. I was their head custodian, their head painter, I did lawn maintenance. Let’s put it this way, I did

just about everything,” he said with a chuckle. During this time, he got to know a city worker and one evening, he was invited over for supper. “I noticed that there were first aid books and pamphlets on a table. The next time I went over, I noticed an ambulance uniform hanging in the closet. My friend asked me if I had my first aid ticket because he got a parttime job with the ambulance service and they were always looking for qualified people,” he explained. Long story short, Paul ended up getting a job as a paramedic. He slept with his clothes on the night that he started his career, just so that he was ready to go on a moments notice. “My first day on the job, I had to drive the ambulance Continued: Linza/ p34

or most of us, dialing 911 is not something that we ever look forward to doing. However, if necessity strikes and we are forced to call, our hope is that the person on the other end is knowledgeable, resourceful and able to get us through a potentially trying experience, in as calmly a manner as possible. For 20 years, Paul Linza was one of those people, and he enjoyed his dispatch career thoroughly. Paul grew up in a humble and modest home in Hope, the eldest child of Italian immigrants who came to the area in the 1950s. Although he was born in Canada, Italian was the first language that he learned, so his primary years in school were a bit challenging. “We weren’t rich but we never did without. We didn’t have a Cadillac but we did own a car, if you know what I mean,” he said with a smile. After arriving in Canada, Paul’s father was hired by CP Rail, where he worked for the majority of his career. “After leaving the railroad, dad worked in the service industry for awhile and then he opened up his own janitor business,” he said. Photography was one of Paul’s main interests

These Kids Wear Crowns coming home again The Progress

Party core band These Kids Wear Crowns have a huge and loyal following in the ‘Wack. Four of six band members went to high school and still live in Chilliwack, so they have built up a solid fan base from their little hometown. So it just made sense to come home and put on a local holiday show at the Cultural Centre on Dec. 28 to benefit their favourite charity, BC Children’s Hospital. There will definitely be teenage girls screaming. Last time the power pop band held a charity concert in Chilliwack, it was pretty well sold out in a few days. It doesn’t hurt that they have forged a strong connection with the Mt. Slesse middle school leadership program, and that’s how this second fundraiser got organized. It was through TKWC singer Alex Johnson, a former Mt. Slesse student, and the band was proud to help out with a benefit concert in honour of Sardis secondary student Mac Shand last spring. “That’s when we found out about the awesome work they do at Children’s Hospital,” says Matt Vink, who plays keyboards and sings for TKWC. The last time they held a BBQ-by-donation beforehand, they raised a whopping $7,600 for Children’s, along with the part proceeds from the concert. “It was a really good success overall,” says Vink. Now they want to do it again. “Hopefully we can repeat that, this time during the Christmas season.” It’s nice to check in with Chilliwack’s hottest young band. They got their big start after starring on MTV show disBand and then went on tour with Faber Drive after signing to Capitol/EMI. They’ve since

toured with Hedley and headlined their own tour. The band has had a good year, he reports. They’ve been to Australia twice, and their single,

Jumpstart, went double platinum there, and gold in Canada. “It’s weird that Australia is where we’ve done the best,” says Vink. “Better than Canada

even. Sometimes it’s about finding the right radio station that plays your tunes.” The band has been working hard to get their next record-

ing out. They were busy laying down tracks for the album and ironing out record label issues the past few months, and generally getting sorted. But the new TKWC disc is on its way. “We wanted to make sure we didn’t fall off the map,” says Vink. “We had been hoping to get a new album out by the end of the year.” But in the meantime they’ll happily play their own hometown. They even have a Christmas single to roll out, You’re My Mrs. Claus. “It just got posted yesterday on Youtube.” “I actually love it,” Vink says. “It’s a fun song and I like the video, too. It’s a lyric video so it’s got the words onscreen.” The holiday tunes, including another one from 2011, Red, White and You, will be part of a special Christmas interlude at the end of their set. The Chilliwack gig is something they’re looking forward to. “All of our friends and families can come watch. We’ve played Toronto 10 times. “It’s nice to put on a hometown show.” They’ll be on-hand before the show, for Warm Up Winter BBQ outside the Cultural Centre manning the barbecue grill and meeting fans who’ll be lining up for hot cocoa, and hot dogs by donation.

• Never kick or hit your meter if ice builds up. Call us for assistance at 1-888-224-2710. • After a snowfall, brush snow away from your meters by hand and clear a path for the safety of our meter readers. • Around your fireplace, consider using a hearth safety gate to help protect small children from the heated glass.

Too long since A Christmas Carol hit Chilliwack Join Ebenezer Scrooge, Jacob Marley, Tiny Tim, and the famous trio of ghosts in this classic Christmas adventure. Presented by Theatre Junkies Anonymous Fine Arts, A Christmas Carol is playing December 19th-22nd at the new UFV Canada Education Park Studio Theatre on the old Canadian Forces Base in Chilliwack. “This is a wonderful opportunity to see the unforgettable story come to life,” says director Gabriel Kirkley. “If you can believe it, to my knowledge A Christmas Carol hasn’t had a full production in Chilliwack since the Players’ Guild in 1990. “That’s far too long when we’re talking about the greatest Christmas story ever told!” Adapted by Kirkley and local

actor/playwright Thomas Smith from the story by Charles Dickens, this production preserves the setting and spirit of the original. “If you’re looking for a way to get into the Christmas spirit this holiday season,” says Kirkley, “I can’t think of any better way than watching Scrooge learn the value of family, friends and holiday cheer.” Jonathan Friesen, an alumnus of the UFV Theatre program, is taking on the lead role of Ebenezer Scrooge. Other performers include Aaron Froc as Bob Cratchit, Danielle Milette as Mrs. Cratchit, Patrick Jolicoeur as Fred, Parker Zacharias as Tiny Tim, and Connie Bahnman, Matt McLean and Dylan Schroeder as the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come. Rounding out the ensemble

REGARDING LAND IN THE AGRICULTURAL LAND RESERVE

cast are Jessie Whatley, Matthew Paine, Natasha Thompson, Torry Janz, Celina Lewis, and Terrell Zacharias. “This production is full of spectacular characters that actors love to sink their teeth into,” says Kirkley, “It’s funny, light-hearted, moving at times, and generally just an all-around crowd pleaser. You don’t want to miss it!” Tickets are at Chilliwack Cultural Centre box office by visiting www.chilliwackculturalcentre. ca or calling 604-391-SHOW (7469). The CEP Studio Theatre is part of the new UFV Canada Education Park campus at 45190 Caen Ave. Visit www.theatrejunkiesanonymous.com for directions and info.

been able to make online donations to the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation in the past, the new website clearly lists all of the facilities and programs under the Foundation’s umbrella and simplifies the giving process. Unlike traditional hospital foundations, which each serve a single acute care facility, the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation raises funds for the hospitals in Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Hope and Mission, as well multiple residential care facilities, Christine Morrison Hospice, the Agassiz Community Health Centre and community based health care programs throughout the Fraser Valley Regional Hospital District. The new website will shine a light on third-

party fundraisers organized by individuals, businesses and community groups and promote the foundation’s community partners. It also offers detailed information on the types of gifts the foundation can accept, such as in memoriam and estate gifts. The user-friendly website replaces the foundation’s campaign websites created for “A Campaign for Health Care Excellence” which raised funds for the new emergency department and renovations at Chilliwack General Hospital and for the Abbotsford Regional Hospital which opened in 2008. The Foundation will soon be launching a campaign for the new 200-bed complex care facility at Mission Memorial Hospital.

Making youth better aware of mental health

his week’s column highlights another wonderful mental health initiative taking place in our community. Youth as Gatekeepers is a contract put forth by the FORCE Society for Kids Mental Health. It is a mental health literacy and suicide prevention awareness project that seeks to engage youth in the community of Chilliwack. I had the opportunity to speak with Kristy Dykshoorn, a third year Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology student at Trinity Western University. She completed her internship hours with us at Child and Youth Mental Health, and was then hired by the FORCE Society for Kids Mental Health to coordinate the Youth as Gatekeepers project. She and those involved are passionate about the project’s mission: Youth as Gatekeepers seeks to educate the student body on mental health knowledge (i.e., literacy, signs and symptoms, recognition, etc.), suicide prevention, stigma reduction, resources available, and how to advise friends to seek help for

mental health concerns. When asked to explain the project, Kristy said “We begin by conducting mental health literacy presentations in the secondary schools in Chilliwack. These presentations are used as recruitment opportunities to engage a small group of students. Once a small group of Eryn students has been estabWICKER lished they meet with the school-based facilitator on a weekly basis. In these weekly meetings the students build relationships, gain knowledge of mental health matters, and share their own experiences with mental health. Finally, the students (with the help of the schoolbased facilitator) will develop a mental health literacy presentation that they will present to other classrooms in their school, as well as the middle schools in the community. They are given the opportunity to be creative and to take ownership of the

presentation; presenting on topics that are important to them, in a way that is meaningful to the audience. It is our goal that every student in the Chilliwack area has a working knowledge of mental health and the resources available in the community.” When I asked why is something like this necessary in schools today, Kristy replied that “having a program like this, and ultimately, creating a student body with knowledge like this, is necessary because too many students’ mental health concerns go unnoticed until more intrusive help is required. By teaching students the early signs and symptoms, they will be able to direct their at-risk peers to the appropriate resources in the community. Research has shown that adolescents are more likely to speak with their peers than teachers/ parents/professionals about these kinds of concerns. Thus, the hope is that this initiative will lead to the prevention and early intervention of many more high-risk youth. I also asked Kristy to share what she thought par-

ents, teachers, and the community might like to know about what their kids are hearing and learning about from this project. “It is important for them to know that we are not training the youth to be peer counsellors or to intervene in high risk situations; rather we are equipping their youth with the necessary knowledge to handle spontaneous conversations about mental health in an effective manner. Everyone experiences mental health issues at different points in their lives. It is also true that everyone handles those situations differently, but by increasing knowledge about resources available, a concerned youth can, at least, feel as though they have the tools to point a friend in the right direction for help.” I think Chilliwack should consider it self lucky to have one more thing that sets us apart in a meaningful and contributory way. Eryn Wicker (M.A., R.C.C.) is a mental health clinician with the Child and Youth Mental Health team of the Ministry of Children and family development in Chilliwack, B.C.

with my lights flashing and sirens blaring. I was hooked and have been a paramedic for the last 32 years!” he said enthusiastically. In the early 80s, Fraser Valley College was looking to offer a CPR course but they didn’t have enough dolls to use as part of the training. Knowing the need, Paul approached local service clubs and raised $20,000 to purchase the equipment. He became one of the College’s lead CPR instructors, something that he’s been doing since that time. He was also a radio personality of sorts. “When I was up in Hope, Tom DeSorcy and I used to co-host a show about coffee on the local radio station. We did this for a long time and had a lot of fun with it,” he said. Paul became quickly enamored with the emergency world and at around this same time, he became fixated on the television show, Emergency. The show was centered on a crew

from the Los Angeles County Fire Department, Station 51, particularly the paramedic team and Rampart Hospital, as they responded to emergencies in their operating area. “Then one day, a city councillor told me that we were getting 911 service and that I’d be qualified to work in that area. He told me to keep my eyes out for an ad. Several months went by and there it was, so, after thinking about it long and hard, I applied at the 11th hour,” he said. The call came just before Christmas 1991. Paul found out that he had been hired and started his training as an Enhanced 911 fire dispatcher in early 1992. The system is quite involved but in the end, it’s designed to assist the public easily and seamlessly. Special computer software is used to associate a location with the origin of the call. This location may be a physical address or other geographic reference information which will enable a quicker response during fires, break-ins or other emergencies where communicating one’s

location is difficult or impossible. “Our E911 service is technically state of the art. Every six months, in the first four years, we were doubling our computer capacity. Ever since we started, we’ve had the latest and best equipment which is very positive all the way around,” he said. As if Paul wasn’t busy enough, but ever the go-getter, he became a volunteer firefighter; starting his career at Hall 6 and also became a First Responder instructor for the fire department as well as taking on the task of training newly hired fire dispatchers. After 20 years on the job, having taken thousands and thousands of emergency phone calls, Paul decided to retire from his 911 position at the end of October but continues to work part-time as a paramedic. Both jobs can be intense and at times stressful. “As a paramedic, training is constant and on-going. Your marks are either pass or fail; there’s not in between. You have to be very dedicated,” he concluded.

Chilliwack pharmacist and Pharmasave owner Nazlin Khamis has turned a passion for holistic approaches to health into a recipe for success that’s getting national attention. Khamis received the Outstanding Pharmacy Owner or Manager award at this year’s Commitment to Care & Service Awards, the national awards program hosted by Pharmacy Practice and Drugstore Canada, Canada’s leading pharmacy magazines. The Commitment to Care & Service Awards gala took place on the evening of November 26th, 2012, at the Ritz-Carlton in Toronto. Born in Kenya, Khamis received her pharmacy education in England and founded Chilliwack Pharmasave Health Centre in 1985. This is the second award Khamis has won this year. In May, she was recognized with the Bowl of Hygeia award at the BC Pharmacy Association’s annual conference. “Nazlin Khamis is a truly inspirational pharmacist,” says Parveen Mangat, pharmacy coordinator with the Pharmasave Pacific regional office. “My only wish is that we could somehow bottle up her enthusiasm for moving the profession forward and share it with the rest of the pharmacy community.” The Commitment to Care & Service Awards honours community and hospital pharmacists, pharmacy owners, and managers, pharmacy technicians and pharmacy students for their innovative contributions to pharmacy practice. Awards are presented in 11 categories: Advanced Learning, Charitable Work; Green Leadership; Health Promotion; Integrated Pharmacy Program; Lifetime Service Award; Outstanding Pharmacy Owner or Manager; Pharmacy Innovation Award; Trim: 5.81” Pharmacy Technician Initiatives; Rookie of the Year; and Student Leadership.

With friends like these... Earlier this week during one of our Small Group Personal Training sessions, a client described how her friends were critiquing her healthier choices when dining out. She is brand new to exercise, and for the first time, is taking steps to change her habits. Her workout partner then described her experience at a hockey game when she went to order water and a stranger tried to convince her to have a beer. If you are trying to lose weight, or have Tanja tried to lose weight in Shaw the past, you’re probably already familiar with diet sabotageurs: people, possibly a friend, co-worker, spouse or even a stranger, who try to sabotage your efforts. Sometimes they are well meaning- such your mother whose natural tendency is to feed you. Sometimes they are a bit guilty or jealous – such as the friend who would really like to lose a few pounds herself and would rather you carry a bit of extra weight as well. Sometimes they are unprepared for the change – such as the friend who knows you as (and thinks he needs you to be) his beer drinking, pizza eating buddy. And sometimes, they have absolutely no idea why they are trying to sabotage your weight loss efforts. Changing your lifestyle habits it just that – change. You may be ready to embrace and make the change, but

your friends and family may not be. The key to turning your friends and family from satabogeurs to supporters is communication. The type of communication will depend on the depth of your relationship. A simple ‘no thank you’ to a stranger or ‘I just ate’ to an acquaintance will suffice. Close friends, family members and your spouse will likely need a ‘heart to heart’ conversation. Schedule a time to talk with your friend or loved one. Mention that you have something important you’d like to discuss so they are prepared to listen with minimal distractions. During the conversation, do not accuse them of being unsupportive or a bad friend. It’s important to understand their feelings, as they are likely not trying to be malicious. Explain how you feel, why you are making the changes to your lifestyle. Finally, and most importantly, show your loved ones how they can help you. Perhaps you can ask for them to be your workout partner, or help you come up with healthy meal options. When you’re making significant lifestyle changes, be prepared that some people, even your closest loved ones, may not be completely supportive of the change. Be open with them, and ask for help. Communication is the best way to enlist support from your family and friends.

Closing out 2012 It is just the second time this season they’ve lost two in a row, and they’ve yet to drop three straight, writes Jacob Bestebroer

David Thompson of the Chilliwack Chiefs rings jingle bells Wednesday morning while volunteering with the Salvation Army’s kettle campaign at PriceSmart Foods. Thompson and several of his teammates were out again Wednesday night at spots around Chilliwack. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Clay making senior debut in Japan A Chilliwack native is among five Twisters Gymnastics (Abbotsford) athletes travelling to Japan this weekend. Zachary Clay and Abbotsford’s Ken Ikeda will be competing Saturday and Sunday in the prestigious Toyota World Cup. They’ll go toe to toe with elite athletes from around the world, including 2012 Olympic men’s champion, Kohei Uchimura. For Clay, this competition marks his debut as a

senior athlete. The Toyota World Cup has been in existence for 45 years. The other Twisters making the trip across the Pacific are Jonathan Osers from Langley, Steven Chaplin from Mission, and Nicolas Garfias from Abbotsford. They will watch the competition, train with world-class athletes and stay at the student residences of Chukyo University, the alma mater of one of the Twisters head coaches.

The Chilliwack Stingrays Swim Club is hosting a Winterfit program, starting Jan. 6. Phone 604-858-9894 or check Chilliwackstingrays.com for more information.

There are now just two games left for the Chiefs before the holiday break. They host the Nanaimo Clippers Friday night and visit the Langley Rivermen Saturday. This weekend offers a chance for the Chiefs to put a pair of disappointing home ice losses behind them. In both losses, the Chiefs had dominant first periods followed by iffy second periods that cost them. It is just the second time this season they’ve lost two in a row, and they’ve yet to drop three straight. So for now, it’s just a small valley in what has been a season of mostly peaks thus far. Friday’s game is the final meeting of the Chiefs and Clippers this season. Chilliwack won the first two by scores of 2-1 and 5-4 on the road (one was technically an away game but it was played at Prospera Centre during the weekend-opening Showcase). The Chiefs should have the support of a large and energetic crowd, with students from Little Mountain, McCammon, St. Mary’s and Watson elementary schools in the seats. They’ll be there as part of the Read with the Chiefs program. Santa will also be there and if you wear a Chiefs hat to the game, or buy one at the game, you will receive a voucher for a free hot dog. Saturday’s game is the Chiefs first visit to Langley this season. There are still a few seats left on

the fan bus. The cost is $20, which includes a ticket to the game. See Andrea at Customer Service Friday night or call the Chiefs office for more details. The Chiefs, who enter the weekend in first place in the Mainland division, four points up on the Surrey Eagles. They’re still a little banged up, but forwards Jaret Babych and Mathieu Tibbet should return this weekend. They’ll provide a big boost as the Chiefs have been forced to go with just nine healthy forwards recently. Surrey also has two games left before the break. They host Powell River and Prince George this weekend. After the break the Chiefs and Eagles will meet for a home and home series beginning Dec. 28 in Surrey. The following night is Fill the Rink for the Food Bank night at Prospera Centre. All tickets are $5 with a non-perishable food item donation to the Salvation Army Food Bank. Expect a pair of close games. The Chiefs lead the season series with a record of 3-0-0-1, but three of the four games were decided by one goal and the other one by two goals. Close games have been the story of Surrey’s season as they are eight games above .500 with a goal differential of plus eight. Ten of their 28 games this season have gone to overtime. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Kaye clobbers Sask to earn title shot Chilliwack’s Darcie Kaye proved that speed and skill are a winning combination, taking down a bigger and stronger opponent in a women’s boxing match last Friday. Kaye took on Jillian Sask of Port Kells Boxing at the Fraser view Hall in Vancouver. “Darcie fought a great fight, showing superior boxing skills while scoring often

throughout the bout,” said her coach, Keith Holdsworth. “By the end, Sask showed clear evidence of the power and accuracy of Darcie’s combinations.” Sask rallied in the last 30 seconds, but Kaye’s defence and footwork kept her out of serious danger. She improved her record to 4-2 with two knockouts. “This was by far the best I have ever seen Darcie fight,”

Holdsworth beamed. “She looked like a pro, and her conditioning is at an elite level right now.” Kaye’s meteoric rise can be credited to training with and sparring against pro boxers Sarah Pucek and Alisah McPhee of Langley Revolution, and Jamie Ward of Pep’s Boxing (Vancouver). Pucek went 10 rounds with Montreal’s Lucia Larcinese on the

same night as Kaye’s fight, capturing the Professional Canadian featherweight title. Kaye will fight one of two Action Boxing (Vancouver) athletes next, with a chance to snare a belt of her own. A bout against Sara Haghighhat Joo would be for the Combsports super feather weight title. A bout against Jen Yager would be for the Combsports super lightweight title. Either

fight would happen early in the new year. “Both of these girls have vastly different styles,” Holdsworth said. “Once we have a little rest, we will decide which belt we will attempt to capture.” Kaye’s home gym is Four Directions Martial Arts in Chilliwack.

High calibre curling Three mens’ curling teams from Chilliwack are part of a field of 12 competing in this weekend’s Lower Mainland Playdown, being hosted by the Chilliwack Curling Club. Friday has draws at 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday and Sunday’s draws are at 9 a.m., 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Allan Vanderveen, Dale Hockley and Todd Leighton are vying for three spots in the BC Men’s Championships on the Road to the Brier in March.

Hard-luck Attack fall to Surrey’s Supra The Chilliwack Attack womens’ soccer squad has battled hard in every game, with little to show for it in the end. Last Sunday’s home game against Coastal FC Supra was more of

the same. Chilliwack trailed 1-0 just two minutes in. Andrea Feaver got the Attack even, briefly, at the 18 minute mark when she redirected a Kirsty Fearn cross into the Supra net. But the

visitors regained the lead for good 10 minutes later. Chilliwack came within inches of equalizing twice. Andrea Northcott had a shot ring off the post, and Deanna

Hawes clanged one off the crossbar. But Supra scored twice in the final six minutes to make the final 4-1. Chilliwack travels to South Surrey for a Friday night rematch.

Two for Vandenberg as United blanks Abby Chilliwack’s U-12 United Select soccer girls demolished the Abbotsford Storm 5-0 in a home game last Sunday. The home side had the only goal of the first half, with Grace

Vandenberg setting up Sydney Dombowsky. Chilliwack broke the game wide open in the second half, with Vandenberg scoring two of her own. One was set up by a Katie Lampen cross, the

other by a Kennedy Galley pass. Lampen scored the fourth United goal, and Dombowsky ended the onslaught, redirecting a shot from Deanna Tuchscherer. Strong defensive play

by Grace MacIsaac, Miranda Coombes, Kassidy Nienhuis, Kalista Kirkness, Madison Steele and Amber Feaver helped goalkeeper Abigial Vandop earn the shutout.

Chiliwack Chargers rally to bounce Burnaby Chilliwack’s U-12 Chargers took on Burnaby United/ Bellotti in another Sunday soccer match, coming away with a 3-1 win. Chilliwack trailed 1-0 early, but owned the rest of the game. Off a throw-in from Paige Owens, Grace Bisson passed to Carmen

Jolly paddler The Crusaders dragonboat/outrigger team had a surprise paddler out to last Sunday’s practice. Santa Claus decided to give the sport a try, filling in as the steersman.

Bonnar, who one-timed a shot into the Burnaby goal. For wards Mimi Devette and Jessica Mansfield were dangerous, and it was Bisson

and Sara Dyck providing second half markers. Strong work in the midfield and backline by Oliva Hochstetter, Calista Ballantine,

Jaiden Andries and Summer deJager kept Burnaby from mounting a comeback. Katrina Brown and Sydneigh Schofield shared the win in goal.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, you may need to take a leap of faith when someone close to you asks for your assistance. Act first and ask questions later. It will be worth it. TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, there is bound to be a learning curve when you begin a new job or a new task. Do not be hard on yourself if it takes you a little longer. GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, thoughtful reflection certainly may provide some of the answers you seek. But another way is to simply get out there and ask other people what they think.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, sad situations may come up, but you have a way of deflecting the situation and showcasing the bright side of things. You may find you are a person providing support this week. LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, many opportunities to entertain family and friends are on the horizon. Honor all of your commitments and enjoy all of the festivities. VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, while you aspire to have many friends, you just may find that there are only a few special people who hold the strings to your heart. It is okay to keep

Wishing

them close. LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, sit down and enjoy some peace and quiet. You may enjoy the break from the frenetic pace you have been keeping the last few months. SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Ever an ideas person, Scorpio, now you have to put some follow-through into those plans. You can likely find a few friends to join you on your next adventure. SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, things certainly go on when you’re not around, but others may notice they just may not be as fun. You often lend joviality to anything you attend so spread your cheer. CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, bide your time and you just may end the year on a bang. Don’t be afraid to add other things to your lastminute wish list because your goals just may be met. AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, you enjoy social situations but that doesn’t mean you have to be the life of the party. Keep this in mind as you attend holiday gatherings. PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, while others are thinking about what presents they want under the tree, you may be thinking of how to give back to others.
