Little change in Chilliwack property assessments
■ B UILDING B RIDGES
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
“Stable” is the operative word being used to describe provincial property assessments for 2013 arriving in Fraser Valley mail boxes this week. And it’s especially true for Chilliwack’s residential properties, according to the numbers released yesterday by the B.C. Assessment office. The Fraser Valley Assessment Roll went from $87.5 billion last year, to $89 billion this year. Most of the growth was attributed to the rise of subdivisions, rezoning and new construction. “Most homes in the Fraser Valley are remaining stable compared to last year’s assessment roll,” said John Green, Deputy Assessor. Only “minimal changes” in the value of most properties are expected. In terms of local market trends, a typical Chilliwack single family home valued at $385,000 last year, was assessed at exactly the same amount, $385,000, this year. A typical strata apartment went from $113,00, down slightly to $112,000, while a townhouse went from $238,000, dipping slightly to $237,000. It wasn’t the same, however, in other parts of the Lower Mainland. Decreased values of as much as five per cent and gains of up to 10 per cent are typical for single detached houses in Surrey, Burnaby and the Tri-Cities, as well as many other parts of the region. White Rock was one of the areas where drops were more likely, with changes tending to range from negative 10 to plus five per cent, according to the assessment authority. Significant decreases were also more common in Whistler, Pemberton, the Sunshine Coast and Bowen Island. “For the first time in many years a significant number of properties in the region are actually decreasing in value,” Continued: ASSESS/ p12
Soldiers create waves on a boat to help move sections of a medium raft into place at Cultus Lake during Exercise Paladin Response 2012 on Saturday. About 200 Canadian Army Reserve Combat Engineers and support personnel from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Ontario were in Chilliwack for four days of training. The exercises included building two types of land bridges, the medium girder bridges and Acrow bridges which are used to span gaps, plus medium rafts (aka medium floating bridges). The main focus of the exercises is to be able to use these bridges for natural disasters here in Canada, although they can and have been used overseas.

Chilliwack heats up, but 2012 wettest since ’97 A general warming trend continued in Chilliwack in 2012 with 14 days over 30 degrees Celsius, longer than the average seven days, for the 11th consecutive year. That’s a trend “never previously observed,” says Roger Pannett, Environment Canada’s volunteer weather observer in Chilliwack. He said with ten high-temperature records in Chilliwack, and only one low-temperature record, the mean temperature
for 2012 was 0.36 C above normal “continuing the general warming trend which commenced in 1986.” The mercury in Chilliwack hit a record-breaking 34.6 C on Aug. 17 and dipped to a low of -14.0 C on Jan. 18. Pannett said the coldest and wettest June since 1981 preceded the driest August and September since Chilliwack records started in 1879. With total precipitation slightly above normal, 2012 was the

wettest year since 1997. Four 24-hour rainfall records occurred during the year, which included the 13.1 mm rainfall on July 23, which made it statistically the driest day of the year. “This was followed by an amazing 80 days with minimal rainfall,” Pannett said. But there were 8 cm of snow on the ground come Dec. 25 making it the first white Christmas in Chilliwack since 2008. Pannett said white Christmases in Chilliwack also
occurred in 2007, 2000, 1996 and 1990. December temperatures hit a high of 10.4 C on Dec. 3 and a low of -3.2 C on Dec. 31. “With an on-going series of Pacific frontal systems moving across the province, weather conditions (in December) were generally dismal with 23 consecutive days of precipitation,” Pannett said. There were only three dry days, the lowest December total in over 31 years, he said.

Idle No More protest puts focus on environment Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
A small Idle No More event on the Vedder River on New Year’s Day was meant to foster a more harmonious relationship with the natural world. “This peaceful ceremony marks a really good way to begin a new year and a new era, actually,” said Skwah elder Eddie Gardner. “We’re all caught up in our addiction to fossil fuels, but it will come to
an end. We’re going to hit the wall and when that happens it’s going to really hurt.” It’s incumbent upon aboriginal and non-aboriginal people alike to take action now against the Harper government and Bill C-45, he said, which significantly reduced environmental protection of Canada’s lakes and rivers. “We have to do some things to honour the water, honour the land, and honour the air. These ecosys-
tems are what sustain and nurture human life on the only home we have here, mother earth.” Food offerings were poured into the river in to thank water spirits and ancestors, all to the sound of drumming and singing. Fresh cedar branches were used to brush away bad spirits and energy. “We have come together to protect what is so precious to us,” said Gardner. “The Vedder is a powerful river because it sustains life.”
He said it’s not just a socio-political statement being made, but one that emphasized spiritual inter-connectedness. He said the New Year’s Day gathering at the river could become a unifying annual event. Grace Kelly of Soowahlie was the one who called for the gathering. She came to welcome everybody, and to have Soowahlie acknowledged. “We had originally had 1140 acres of land and now we only 400,” she
told the small crowd. “The 740 acres are now part of Canada Lands which is now part of UFV. “I am sad because there is no acknowledgement of Soowahlie, and that’s why I wanted to come here today to welcome everybody. “I wanted to acknowledge our ancestors who prepared us for the future and we didn’t have a choice in the end, and I’m very sad about that.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com
Find your passion for better health
Boxing Day bust at Kent prison

For most people trying to kick start a healthier routine for the new year, something has to “click” deep inside to pull off significant changes. “For some people it starts with getting a little pissed off,” said Trevor Carne, 34, a personal trainer and kinesiologist. “Something has to click and once it does, it’s easier.” Carne has a BA in kinesiology and has spent 12 years as a personal fitness trainer. His experience shows that holidays tend to be the hardest for anyone trying to stick with healthy eating and exercise patterns. “With party after party, it’s almost impossible. You’re just holding on for dear life.” But with the new year having arrived this week, the month of January is a good time to “attack” it, he tells The Progress. “It starts with passion. You have to have your mind set on some changes, and you have to work toward building momentum.” He recommends starting with that first healthy decision. It can snowball from there, if you keep at it. “If you can get a few days of it going, the snowball effect gets bigger and eventually nothing can derail the momentum. You can take on anything.” He strives to make perfectly healthy decisions, eating well and working out, all week long. “On the weekend, if I want to enjoy a snack, it doesn’t make or break me.” He advocates working on making nighttime habits healthier, and then to tackle the weekends. Improvements can be gradual and progressive. “One of the things that works is that I never let myself become hungry.” Stress makes people hungry, and what causes people to fail is not having the right foods handy. That’s when a pre-packed food kit, comes in exceedingly handy. He’s always got it with him, especially when he’s on the go.
Guard charged with trafficking
Trevor Carne, fitness trainer and kinesiologist, says it’s ideal for people to eat several health snacks throughout the day to prevent overeating at lunch and dinner. He suggests carrying things in your car like fruit, nuts, granola bars and water. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
It’s Carne’s carefully planned armour against the feeling of starvation, when blood sugar levels drop and people make the poor choice to head for the fast-food drive-through. So what’s in his food kit? An array of fruit, almonds, protein shakes, trail mix, water and other healthy snacks. He includes a week’s worth of fruit and always keeps the kit in his car at all times. “If you have healthy snacks at the ready and are eating properly, you are not in a famished state of mind. When you can think rationally, you tend to make better choices. “When you’re forced to go hours without food, you’re screwed. Deprivation makes the body hold onto fat. That’s why diets don’t work. I don’t even like the word diet.” Part of the answer for long-term results is eating smaller meals, and healthier snacks. “By eating a third carbohydrates, protein and fat, your body stabilizes its blood sugar so you’re not full
and constantly burning fat.” Making the switch from three big meals a day, to five or six smaller meals, is crucial. “That’s the cornerstone.” It means eating every three hours. “Sometimes it takes someone to tell you for the millionth time: Pack a lunch. Don’t skip breakfast. Buy more fruit and vegetables.” So it’s really about the right foods, at the right times, in the right portions. “I recommend reading a book by Marc McDonald called Body Confidence, he addresses everything, allows you to keep the foods in your diet that you love and lets you go off plan. “It’s really the only plan you will need for life, no matter what your goals are. Plus it’s very reasonable.” In terms of exercise, it’s important to get some form of exercise everyday. A trainer or group fitness challenge can keep people on track, and
put them in a position to win. “Once you hit that tipping point, something changes. It ignites a passion.” Walking is a great overall form of exercise, but it won’t tone the body the way weight training or other activities might. “Ultimately it has to be something you enjoy. If you don’t enjoy it, you won’t do it.” Group sports. Crossfit. Badminton. Swimming. Take your pick. “Of course going to a gym is helpful. I recommend strength training and boot camp to produce the most dramatic changes to the body.” Changing it up and keeping it interesting is important. “It’s all about finding the activity that’s right for you. There are lots of ways to do it, with no right or wrong way.” Check out Carne’s site, functionalkinetics.com, for a variety of fitness ideas.

A 42-year-old correctional officer at Kent prison in Agassiz was arrested on Boxing Day and charged with two counts of allegedly trafficking drugs into the maximum security facility. Police believe the drugs to be marijuana and methamphetamines. “The RCMP and Correctional Ser vices Canada (CSC) have been working together throughout this investigation,” RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said in a news release. “This par tnership led to an arrest without incident and the two agencies will continue to work together as this case moves through the court system,” she said. How much was allegedly traf ficked by the correctional officer, and for how long a period of time police investigators believe the trafficking occurred was not immediately available from the RCMP. The accused, Paul Fleming, was arrested at 6 a.m. at the institution, but released later from custody on several conditions. He is scheduled to return to Chilliwack provincial court Jan. 29.

R AESIDE
It’s a new year, and that means that all levels of government have their hands in your pockets a little more deeply than in 2012. The Canadian Taxpayers Federation sent out a press release last week outlining just how much additional pocket picking is coming our way in 2013. The list is substantial. The most substantial, and perhaps the most unfair, is the boost in Medical Services Plan premiums. These premiums will go up by $60 per family this year, and have now risen 24 per cent ($300 per family) in three years — far more than the rate of inflation. This boost in MSP fees was first brought in by the provincial government to help deal with its deficit, and it has since discovered that it’s a tax boost that causes minimal political trouble. It appears this premium will keep rising until enough members of the public start to pay full attention to just how much it is costing them. The federal government doesn’t get off scot-free. As of Jan. 1, premiums for Employment Insurance are rising, and so are contributions to the Canada Pension Plan. While contributors will get their CPP contributions back eventually if they retire and collect CPP, the same cannot be said for EI. A small portion of the population actually collects it, but all working people and their employers pay for the program. Municipal governments will boost property taxes by an estimated two to five per cent this year. Exact rates in Chilliwack haven’t been set yet. The province is facing a massive deficit and claims it will bring in a balanced budget, so that adds up to all kinds of tax increases that we have yet to see. But in the meantime, BC Hydro, controlled by the province, is raising rates by almost four per cent on April 1. Taxpayers may get a small break if the PST, due to come back on April 1, isn’t levied on some services, as happened under the HST. We will wait and see what happens on that front. One thing is certain — governments have an insatiable appetite for our money. While much of the money they take goes to useful services, there is plenty of room for better management and for minimal tax increases. ~ Black Press
B.C. V IEWS
Is natural gas the enviro-villain of 2013? VICTORIA – They’re well on the way to stopping the expansion of oil exports to Asia. Now will B.C.’s American branch-plant environmental machine turn on natural gas? A couple of weeks ago I described the dispute between the Haisla Nation and the rest of the Coastal First Nations group over the pioneering of liquefied natural gas development on Haisla territory at Kitimat. Powerful chiefs of the Heiltsuk, Gitga’at, Haida and others in the so-called Great Bear Rainforest oppose the idea of kicking off a new LNG export industry without extending the hydro grid to support renewable power for the region. LNG is shaping up as B.C.’s largest-ever industrial project, if it gets built. And there are signs the American-directed environmental attack is swinging to our gas boom. Some in the Canadian media insist no such U.S. influence exists,

or that it is trivial and benign. They mock federal Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver’s description of “foreign radicals,” pretending this applies to everyone opposed to oil pipelines. There weren’t many reporters with me when I covered the negotiations for the Great Bear Rainforest in 2006. To the Vancouver media it Tom was just a big forFLETCHER est deal up in the middle of nowhere. Along with B.C. cabinet minister Pat Bell, Coastal First Nations and forest companies, the Sierra Club, ForestEthics and Greenpeace muscled their way to the table. How they did so became clear in early 2007. Behind these big three eco-propaganda groups was a $60 million war chest from an obscure
outfit called Tides Canada. Another front group, as it turns out. The actual source of the money was the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the David and Lucille Packard Foundation, the Wilberforce Foundation, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. Most made their billions in computers and software in San Francisco or Seattle. They’ve funded scientifically suspect campaigns such as “Yellowstone to Yukon” and “boreal forest” aimed at turning more than a third of Canada into parks. Increasingly, they are partnering with aboriginal people in B.C. and across Canada. Some in B.C.’s major media have since grudgingly credited independent B.C. researcher Vivian Krause with filling in the blanks. She has shown that starting in 2002, these foundations began formally organizing against Canadian
fossil fuel production. When the B.C. and Canadian governments matched the $60 million Great Bear Rainforest fund for “ecosystem-based” forest management, they didn’t realize they were reinforcing a blockade against oil exports. Tides and its backers have continued to fund and create new protest groups, which are quoted as they pop up by credulous B.C. media. Their argument against oil exports centres on the sexy but false premise that Alberta’s “tar sands” somehow uniquely threaten the global climate. Lately, as the size of B.C.’s gas development has become clearer, the protests have started to refocus. Now we hear dire claims about the decades-old technique of “fracking” in gas development, and previously obscure groups are springing up to protest gas projects. Hollywood is about to gas us

with an anti-fracking movie starring Matt Damon. Previews suggest that Promised Land works the usual evil-greedy-capitalist themes, in the Avatar tradition. ForestEthics, Sierra Club and Greenpeace, meanwhile, are campaigning against their original forest preservation deal on B.C.’s Central and North Coast. Sustainable development solutions aren’t good for their business model. If people think a problem is solved, they stop sending money. Meanwhile, the U.S. is surging ahead with its own shale oil and gas boom. Plans are underway for LNG exports from the U.S. to Asia. I think 2013 would be a good year for Canada to start making its own decisions on energy development.

Call for heat pump regulations shall make, or cause, or allow to be made, in or on a highway or elsewhere in the city, any noise or sound which disturbs or tends to disturb the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort on convenience of the public, neighborhood or persons in the vicinity.” If I play loud music or have a dog barking or parties, alarms, etc., bylaw is right there. Why does City Hall enforce part of the bylaw only? This is a discriminatory act. Our bedrooms are directly above this compressor and fan. The vibration and noise is intolerable. We have to wear earplugs to use our bedrooms in our house, just to be vibrated to sleep. It is turned on at five or six in the morning for one hour straight, then on and off all day, depending on the weather. In summer, the outside noise from the air conditioner is just as bad; you cannot enjoy your yard without this constant whining and
fan noise 24/7. As all our house vents are on this side, hood fan, furnace, dryer, fireplace there is a constant whine through our main floor. We have installed and eight-foot fence but to no avail. There is no peace and quiet or enjoyment of our house and yard that the bylaw states. Once again, discrimination and negligence of bylaws. As a taxpayer, I should have the same protection as all taxpayers. Installation of compressors should be licensed and rules applied for a minimum standard of noise and vibration before they are in place. They should never be allowed between threestory buildings this close, unless there are noise enclosures. Enforcement practices of this noise bylaw and building inspection department is unacceptable to all neighbors of heat pumps. Bylaw enforcement should be amended.
ably one of the last, still remaining on the flats by the Vedder River? It has trees on it that are hundreds of years old. Trilliums, a once protected plant and flower, by our provincial government, grow abundantly in this forest. Many species of birds, squirrels, rabbits, coyotes, and other furry animals call this home. The people of Langley are loudly protesting a forest that may be sold by their city to
a developer. No one seems to care about this ancient forest down on the army base. Are the people of Chilliwack, and Sardis even aware this mini forest may soon be mowed down by bull dozers? There are beautiful walking trails throughout this little piece of paradise. Ancient trees have already been tagged to be brought down. This may be a case of the population not being aware of what is about to happen. The
beautiful forest we are about to lose. It may be another case of our land being sold out from underneath us, as our Canadian north is slowly, and secretly, being sold to foreign investments by our federal government. People beware, the Canada we once knew, and fought for is disappearing before our very eyes. Our forefathers must be turning over in their graves. Louise Matthews, Chilliwack
Keep an eye out for teen’s missing iPod The Grinch came along and stole my daughter’s iPod touch from G.W. Graham. I was wondering if the community could keep an eye out as her name and phone number are actually engraved on the back of it so if it’s sold or pawned someone should notice the name unless it’s filed
off but then you would notice the filed off marks. It’s quite tiny so you would only notice if you are looking for it but they are there. Basketball teams from other schools were visiting so who knows who took it or where it ends up. If anyone comes across a white 8 gb iPod 4 with Kiana
Kelly on the back of it could you please call the number on the back and let us know? She’s really missing it. Thanks a bunch for keeping your eyes peeled. Tamara Kelly

Development plans draw concern There is a saying, the pen is mightier then the sword. I wish this were so in my case. Unfortunately this letter will probably fall on deaf ears.

On a trip to city hall to check bylaws on heat pump compressor noise, I found that there is no law enforcement on noise on this industrial machine. I find this to be direct negligence of bylaw enforcement and highly discriminatory. City Hall’s excuse is we are a strata and won’t enforce it. Our strata is paid to maintain road, landscaping and fire hydrant under hydro lines only. We own our land and houses and pay taxes to the city at house rates. This strata has no enforcement of this bylaw. Our houses are eight feet apart and three storeys high; the heat pump compressor and fan was installed in the middle of the house, with only five feet clearance between buildings. It sits on a cement slab between the two houses and the noise and vibration is intolerable. It sounds like a line of gravel trucks going by every 20 minutes, 24/7/12. The bylaw reads, “No person

Assessments remains stable in Chilliwack Assess from Front assessor Jason Gratl said of Vancouver Seato-Sky region changes. Many homes on Vancouver’s west side and in Richmond are also down slightly, after gains of as much as 30 per cent a year earlier. Strata condos and townhomes in Metro Vancouver were susceptible to wider swings, with drops of as much as 10 per cent and gains of 10 per cent typical. Owners of commercial and industrial properties across the valley will see changes ranging from -5% to +5%. “Proper ty owners who feel that their assessment does not reflect market value as of July 1, 2012 should visit www.bcassessment.ca for answers to common questions or to find comparable sales and assessment information,” said Green. “If they see incorrect information or have further questions, they should contact us as soon as possible in January. Other services available on the website include a customer service survey and a list of 2013’s most valuable residential properties across the province.” “If a property owner is still concerned about their assessment after speaking to one of our appraisers, they may submit a Notice of Complaint (Appeal) by January 31st, for an independent review by

all 1.87 million meters across the province. BC Hydro has been dogged by political and citizen protests about the cost of the refit and persistent claims of various hazards from the meters. Installers have also encountered meters made inaccessible by construction of garages, decks and other structures that covered them. Some homeowners who refused replacement of mechanical meters now worry that they will be on the hook for costs if their old meter equipment fails after they refused the upgrade.

cellular provider. Robertson said people regularly call 911 to ask when power outages will end, when roads will be clear of snow after a storm and what day to adjust clocks for daylight savings time changes. “911 is not an information line,” she said, urging people to use public information lines (such as BC Hydro’s for power updates) and non-emergency numbers for local police unless immediate action is required. E-Comm answers nearly a million 911 calls each year for Metro Vancouver, the Sunshine Coast, Whistler, and Squamish. About 100,000 calls per year – 10 per cent of the total – were made mistakenly, often from pocket dialing. E-Comm recommends using keylocks, protective cass and not pre-programming 911 into phones to help cut down on the problem.

Another wanted police to make her daughter clean up her room. Still another asked dispatchers if they knew if purchases could be returned to a certain store without a receipt on Boxing Day.

Catching the warmth and wisdom of Annie
A cast of 23 performers — and two dogs — is bringing the blockbuster musical Annie to the stage at the Cultural Centre, Jan. 9-20. The enduring popularity of Annie is not hard to fathom. “I think a huge array of people can relate to her journey,” says director Andrew Smith of the Chilliwack School of Performing Arts. With equal measures of pluck and positivity, Little Orphan Annie captures everyone’s heart, starting from scratch as she does in New York City during the Dirty Thirties. “Children can relate to the story because it touches on so many issue that all kids go through, as demonstrated by Annie herself and some of the other orphans.” Annie opened on Broadway in 1977 and ran for 2,377 performances. It was nominated for 11 Tony Awards that year, and won seven, including Best Choreography, Best
Costume Design, Best Original Score, Best Book and Best Musical. The play was inspired by Harold Gray’s Little Orphan Annie comic strip which premiered in the New York Daily News in 1924. As the story goes, Annie is determined to find her parents. They abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel, embittered Miss Hannigan. With the help of the other girls in the orphanage, Annie escapes to the wondrous and magical world of New York City. “The adults can relate to Miss Hannigan,” says the director. “Every parent has had moments where they’re pulling their hair out and not sure what to do.” CSOPA Sophomore Avianna Clempson plays the lead role of Annie at the feisty age of 11. “She’s fantastic,” says Smith. “She’s been keen and super hardworking. Avianna fits the bill. She’s got tons of talent and she understands Annie’s journey.”

He says he couldn’t have asked for a better Annie. “She has a lot of the qualities in herself that are ideal for the part of Annie, like a generally positive demeanor.” The play follows adventure after fun-filled adventure, as Annie foils Miss Hannigan’s evil machinations and befriends President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. She managed to find a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy. Of course, the songs are catchy as ever. “The tunes are wonderful and the story is very cleverly written.” It also has political elements since the play version, as opposed to the movie version, is more true to the political tone of the original comic strip by Harold.. “The play itself is hugely political, since it was the time of the Great Depression and the transition from Hoover to Roosevelt.”
The role of Grace Farrell will be played by Kate Fairley, and Oliver Warbucks by Abbotsford resident Arne Larsen. Kessia Warren will take on the role of Miss Hannigan, while Rooster and Lily will be played by Max Glover and Carmen Sigurdson. The roles of the other orphan girls will be portrayed by Adrienne Reitsma, Meghan Mindel, Andrea Arce, Olivia Moniz, Kirsten MacDonald and Melynda Nadon. Hannah deNevers will take on the head maid, Mrs. Drake, while Jonathan Woyke will play U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Rounding out the rest of the cast are Caylen Braun, Brandon Grove, Hailey Hansen, Kathryn Harder, Hyacinthe Lithgow, Jordan Orto, Josh Robinson, Olivia Simpson, Sebastian Warkentin-Scott and Jessica Westeringh. They’ve worked hard to make the look of the set and the costumes complementary, and evoke the look of the Dirty Thirties in NYC.
Lisa Zimmer is the musical director, Trischa Buhler is the orchestra director, and Shelley Wojcik the choreographer. Set by Tara Arnett, costumes by Heather Westergard and lights by Jamea Lister. “We’ve tried to be as authentic as we can with a little bit of creative flair, so the audience goes, here we are in 1933,” Smith says. Leapin’ lizards, it oughta be fun! The Chilliwack School of Performing Arts presents Annie, from Jan. 9 to 20 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre. Previews on Wednesday, Jan. 9, and Jan. 10, and Annie opens on Friday, Jan. 11, and runs until Sunday, Jan. 20, 7:30 p.m. evening performances on Jan. 9, 10, 11, 12, 17, 18, 19, and 2 p.m. matinée performances on Jan. 12, 13, 19, 20.

Well Being
Set a goal to help overcome barriers to a healthier you There are little things about my house I would like to change. The walls could use a fresh coat of paint, the carpet downstairs could be replaced, and the bathrooms could use a facelift. I could go on. We’ve been talking a bit more seriously about taking action- but no decision has been made (either to start the renovations, or to decide to keep the house as is) and by default nothing is getting done. Here’s why: • We have never renovated before and don’t know much about it. • We don’t know where to start, and what needs to be done in what order to get the project done. • We don’t have anyone to coach us through the process to make sure we’re on the right track. When I think about it, I realize that my struggles with renovating my house are similar to the struggles our clients experience before they get started on a program. The three most coming problems people experience when trying to get fit (either for the first time, or when they have tried in the past but slid back to old unhealthy habits) are: • Not having the knowledge of how to put a complete program together
• Not having an action plan. • Not having a support network to keep accountable to reaching goals. Before you can even start thinking about putting a program together, it’s important to know what you want. You need to set a goal. Goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and time-bound. For example, a home Tanja renovation goal Shaw could be to change the downstairs flooring by February 10th. A fitness goal could be to complete a 5K run in less than 30 minutes by March 1st, or to be able to do 10 full push-ups, or to lose the five pounds gained over the holidays. The next step is to find out why your goal is important to you, and how committed you are to your goal. For example, you may want to get fit and lose weight to alleviate health concerns, or to feel better about yourself. For serious results, commitment level should be a 10 out of 10. After you’ve set a goal that is important to you and decided that you are committed to your goal,
it’s time to tackle the three most common problems, listed above. Putting together a complete program may take some time and research. Make sure your program includes resistance training, cardiovascular training, flexibility exercises and sound nutrition, and is geared to reaching your goal. Once you have a program, create a schedule of your workouts for the weeks to come. Book your workouts into your calendar and take the necessary step to make sure you stick to your plan. Finally, rally up a support network to help keep you accountable to your goals. Perhaps a friend can become a training partner, or your spouse can help you plan meals. Having coaching and support will greatly increase the likelihood that you will reach your goals. Whether you are renovating your home, or your body, the steps remain the same. Set a goal, get committed, learn the necessary steps, take action and get help. Tanja Shaw is the owner of Ascend Fitness Inc., a private training studio.

Focus on the small in 2013 As the holiday season quickly spins past- it’s natural to look ahead to the upcoming year. Oftentimes, the holidays are a vehicle for excess- too many social events with too much food and a flurry of gifts passing between people and everyone they’ve ever met. The over indulgence can leave us with postholiday deflation (excepting our waistlines, usually). The practice of New Year’s Marie resolutions is a Amos way of clearing the slate- starting fresh with big plans for how this year will be different. This year, it’ll be a daily gym routine, no gossiping, volunteering, adopting a vegan diet, giving up tv, visiting the in-laws every day, and keeping the sock drawer organized. This year instead of making a transformational leap- make 2013 the year of small changes. We can set ourselves up for failure by trying to run before we can walk. Small, consistent changes that can be sustained over the long haul are more valuable than a short burst of change that quickly fades into the old routine. A friend of mine lent me a book titled “Seven: How many days of the week can be Extraordinary” (by Zadra and Yarnada), recently. One of the exercises in the book
consists of listing the things in the reader’s life that can be eliminated this week to make room for the important things. Reflect on your life- is there any drain on your daily life that you could do without? Consider reducing a bad habit by five minutes a day and replacing it with something positive. Five minutes a day is easy-peasy. Consider a change you’d like to make, for example, increasing physical activity. Instead of committing to an intensive routine, try to find five minutes of physical activity to build into the day. Walk to the mailbox instead of stopping on the way home from work, or find excuses to leave the office during the day. Want to make a positive difference in the world? Bring in your neighbours trash cans, check out Chilliwack Community Services website (www.comserv.bc.ca/) for volunteer opportunities and spend an hour a week delivering meals on wheels or helping an adult learn to read. Then next week, find another small change to add to your daily or weekly routine. In Scotland there’s a sayingmany mites make a mickle, or lots of littles makes a big. This year, think little and make it the year of focusing on the small consistent changes that lead to maintainable improvement. The best to you and yours in 2013!

Save time When the new 10-lane bridge is complete, it will be twice the size of the old one, which will reduce congestion and save you time – you could cut your drive in half. Less idling also means less money spent at the gas pump, with some drivers saving up to a litre in fuel each day. A series of interchanges and overpass improvements provide faster, safer travel to and from the highway. With less congestion and more reliability, you’ll be able to better predict how long your drive will take and make sure you arrive on time.

Deadline dealing Are some players safe? Sure, but then again, as the old saying goes, ‘If Wayne Gretzky can be traded,’ writes Jacob Bestebroer
Ben Masella (No. 3) and his Chilliwack Chiefs may have fared poorly in a 3-0 Saturday night loss to Surrey, but the local Food Bank did quite well. On Fill the Rink for the Food Bank night at Prospera Centre, 7,000 pounds (equivalent to $13,000) of food was donated. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Chiefs looking for new year renewal The Chilliwack Chiefs carry a twogame post-Christmas losing streak into weekend action as they take on the Coquitlam Express and Langley Rivermen. The Chiefs came out of the holiday break Dec. 28-29 with a homeand-home versus the Surrey Eagles. Chilliwack lost both by scores of 5-3 and 3-0. In Friday night’s game at the South Surrey Arena, the Chiefs carried a 3-2 lead into the third period. The Eagles scored three times on nine shots to steal the win.
Of note, Chilliwack goaltender Mitch Gillam scored into an empty net in the first period, a clear contender for play of the year. Saturday night’s game was a goaltender duel, with Surrey’s Michael Santaguida stopping 41 shots for the shutout. Missing top guns Josh Hansen and Ryan Donohoe, Chilliwack’s offence has struggled of late. But this weekend’s opponents are prone to giving up goals. Coquitlam (16-18-1-0) coughs up 3.25 per game.
Langley (13-14-1-5) yields 3.51, so there should be opportunities to put the puck in the net. Chilliwack has gone a combined 7-1 versus Coquitlam and Langley this year, with 36 goals for and 16 goals against. The Chiefs (21-10-1-1) need wins this weekend to hang on to their Mainland division lead. The Eagles (20-10-1-2) are within one point. Prince George is within four. Both of this weekend’s games are on home ice with 7 p.m. start times.
Chilliwack’s Clay competes on international stage Chilliwack’s Zachary Clay competed in the prestigious Toyota World Cup gymnastics competition in Japan in mid-December, turning in a solid showing on the world stage. Clay competed in four disciplines.
His highest placing was on the pommel horse, where he finished fourth. Clay was sixth on the vault and seventh on the floor and parallel bars. Clay, who trains out of Abbotsford’s Twisters Gymnastics, was accompa-
nied by teammate Ken Ikeda, who won bronze on the pommel horse. Three other Twisters cheered from the sidelines, and had the opportunity to train with international level athletes in Tokyo.
The BCHL trade deadline is one week from today. It’s a tough time for most players in the league. Some may be in a situation where they would prefer to be traded, but for the vast majority that’s likely not the case. Are some players safe? Sure, but then again, as the saying goes, “If Wayne Gretzky can be traded…” During Harvey Smyl’s two-decade long stint as general manager of the Chiefs there are two deadline deals that stand out to me. The Chiefs were not a serious contender during the 1997-98 season, though they were an extremely tough team that no one wanted to play. There likely wasn’t a deal to be made that would improve Chilliwack enough to be able to take out the Surrey Eagles in the playoffs (Surrey won the national championship later that season). At the deadline, and from what I remember it literally happened within minutes of the deadline, Smyl acquired 19-year-old forward Brian Maloney from the Olds Grizzlies. That deal set the table for future Chiefs success. The following season Maloney, who still spends his summers in Chilliwack, served as captain. Prior to that season the Chiefs acquired another forward from the Grizzlies, a friend of Maloney’s – Travis Banga. Banga went on to record a pair of 100 point seasons and captained Chilliwack to the 2000 league championship. Then there was the 199899 season. The Chiefs were an offen-

sive juggernaut. In 40 games prior to the Jan. 10 deadline they scored 242 goals. In those same 40 games they allowed 206 goals, and it was obvious an improvement was needed in goal. Leading up to that deadline everyone was hoping that Smyl would acquire Wade Dubielewicz from the Trail Smoke Eaters. It went down to the wire, but that is exactly what he did, sending a hefty package of future considerations (including two players that never did play for Trail). Kevin Estrada was traded back to Chilliwack during the off-season and Shane Palahicky took an earlierthan-expected scholarship to Cornell. The move paid off as the Chiefs advanced to the league championship series before losing in five games to the Vernon Vipers. After acquiring Dubielewicz the Chiefs played exactly 40 games, 20 regular season and 20 playoff. In those 40 games they allowed 135 goals, 71 fewer than in the 40 games prior to the trade. Two home games for the Chiefs this weekend, Friday versus Coquitlam and Saturday versus Langley. Saturday’s game will feature the annual BMO Dash For Cash. During an intermission thousands of loonies will be spread out on the ice and six people will have 60 seconds to collects as many as they can. To have a chance to participate follow the Chiefs on Twitter @Chiefs_Hockey or like the Chiefs Facebook page. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net
