Chilliwack to welcome ‘Westies’ Aldergrove unit relocated to Chilliwack Alina Konevski The Progress

Chilliwack will soon have a stronger Canadian Forces reserve outfit in town, but at the heels of the Area Support Unit’s closure. The Royal Westminster Regiment’s Aldergove detachment is relocating to the 5535 Korea Road building in Chilliwack by April 1. The regiment hopes to bring a “platoon-sized element” of 30 reserve infantry units to the base. The New Westminster headquarters say the move is in line with the regiment’s historical presence at either end of the County of Westminster. “We’re maintaining that footprint in the Fraser Valley, but consolidating,” says Captain Braden Greaves, adjutant for the Royal Westminster Regiment. “Instead of having some reserve functions in Chilliwack and some in Aldergrove, we’re just going on opposite ends of the Fraser Valley.” Meanwhile, the Canadian Forces continue to reduce its dedicated support units nationwide, and Chilliwack’s ASU is no exception. The ASU will close sometime in March, before the end of its fiscal year on 31 March. Chilliwack’s service battalion will take over many of its functions. Continued: RESERVE/ p22

Petition calls for end to Bible distribution Alina Konevski The Progress

The Chilliwack school district is the last in the province that permits the distribution of Gideon Bibles in its schools, but the bastion is at risk of toppling, and the people of Chilliwack remain eerily silent on the issue. An influential humanist group has launched an online petition to prevent the Chilliwack school board from introducing a policy that allows the distribution of religious material in public schools. Currently, the board does not have a policy outlining materials distribution, religious or otherwise. The only exception was a note specifically permitting the Gideons to supply bibles to Grade

5 students, with parental approval. The board deleted the note at the Nov. 13, 2012, school board meeting, and agreed to draft a new materials policy by the end of March 2013. The Vancouver-based BC Humanist Association launched an online petition last week that calls on the Chilliwack school board to “abandon its plans for a new policy permitting the distribution of materials.” Since the petition went live Jan. 29 on change.org, it has garnered over 180 signatories. BCHA president Ian Bushfield says providing religious material in public schools violates Section 76 of the BC School Act, which states that all schools must operate “on strictly secular and non-

sectarian principles.” “Our schools should be secular, and not promoting religious ideology,” argues Bushfield, who says there are approximately six BCHA members in Chilliwack. This uproar is a first for the Chilliwack school district. In the 20 years that trustee Barry Neufeld has been with the board, no one has publicly complained about the Gideons delivering bibles through schools. And so far, the Chilliwack school board has not heard from representatives of the local religious community on the issue. The board itself has not picked a side. “What we do not want is any religion trying to proselytize and convert children to their belief. Giving one faith group or ideology

preference over another is what is not allowed in the School Act,” says Neufeld. All the same, Neufeld believes it is “absolutely impossible” to fully separate religion from the school system. Banning bible distribution puts a host of other school traditions on the chopping block, such as singing Christmas carols, and renting public school space to faith groups on the weekends – a practice that hauls $200,000 in to the Chilliwack school system every year. Removing all religious affiliation from the district would cause a “major upheaval” in the community, says Neufeld. Pastor Throness from the Chilliwack Alliance Church concurs.

FVRD won’t get rep on Metro incineration panel Jeff Nagel Black Press

Metro Vancouver won’t give the neighbouring Fraser Valley Regional District an observer on an expert panel overseeing plans to build a new garbage incinerator. Instead, the Metro regional district will set up a political liaison committee with Fraser Valley officials to counter their complaints of inadequate consultation over the waste-to-energy strategy. The FVRD board in December demanded a seat on the expert panel, which is providing independent advice to guide the procurement process now underway. But Metro reps essentially don’t trust that their counterparts to the east – who strongly oppose garbage incineration over air pollution concerns – won’t simply use the position to sabotage the entire process. “There have to be a confiden-

tial conversations between those experts,” said Metro zero waste committee chair Malcolm Brodie, the mayor of Richmond. “That’s a very technical aspect of the problem that they’re dealing with and not a political one.” Metro staff have met with the FVRD nine times, Brodie said. And the zero waste committee has also invited Fraser Valley reps to meet with them but FVRD board chair Sharon Gaetz rejected that as not providing meaningful consultation as ordered by the province. Instead, the waste committee agreed Thursday to form a separate political liaison committee to directly meet with FVRD reps to try to address their concerns. There isn’t much optimism that any minds will be changed, after years of highly public spats between the two regions over incineration. “I know it will be an unpleasant experience,” said Burnaby Mayor

Derek Corrigan, who predicts the FVRD will use every opportunity to derail Metro’s decision to build new waste-to-energy capacity and stop trucking trash to the Cache Creek regional landfill. Most Metro directors reject the FVRD’s belief that incineration cannot be done without worsening pollution and harming the Valley. “I’m worried that by us being so respectful of our political colleagues we add legitimacy to an idea that is ridiculous and absurd,” said Corrigan, who voted against the new committee. He accused Valley politicians of using the issue as a platform for “self-aggrandizement.” If the Fraser Valley were truly concerned about pollution, he said, it should fight Kinder Morgan’s pipeline expansion plan that will bring an estimated 400 tankers per year steaming into the port. “It doesn’t matter what we say,” added Langley City Coun. Gayle

Martin. “They don’t want us to have one.” Brodie said the FVRD must accept that Metro has provincial approval through its solid waste plan to expand waste-to-energy capacity and that the only issue is how and where it’s done. “Whether people like it or not, that decision has been made,” he said. Vancouver Coun. Andrea Reimer said more effort with the FVRD is worthwhile, if only because provincial environment ministry approval of the final project may rest on how well Metro consulted its neighbours. Abbotsford Coun. Patricia Ross said she’s disappointed the FVRD is barred from the expert panel. “I see absolutely no problem with us being able to observe,” she said. “It’s yet another block to sincere and honest consultation.” Ross said a key question is whether a new incinerator is built

Raising awareness about sight impairment Alina Konevski The Progress

Diagnosed with a hereditary retinal disorder at 18 years old, Ann McNabb has been progressively losing her sight throughout adulthood. After she was declared legally blind, she was getting on the bus with her white cane one day in the early 1990s, when she met a member of the Canadian Council of the Blind, who invited her to a CCB meeting. Although McNabb admits the group isn’t for everyone, she found confidence through it, and stuck with it for nearly two decades. To celebrate White Cane Week, held nationally in the first week of February for nearly 70 years, the Chilliwack chapter of the Canadian Council of the Blind is inviting the community to an open house Wednesday 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The event will be at Evergreen Hall (9291 Corbould Street), in the Slesse Room. A Chilliwack native, soft-spoken McNabb now heads the BC-Yukon Division of the CCB from her hometown. “I think (the CCB has) helped me to be more confident in myself. If I wasn’t a member of the local club, I certainly wouldn’t be doing some of the things I do at the division level,” says McNabb. She is also a committed volunteer with the local Girl Guides of Canada, and the Chilliwack Safety Village. CCB Chilliwack offers peer mentoring support, and club members range from people who are legally blind, to those who have absolutely no vision, like

McNabb herself. The club helps members to cope, says McNabb. “Because no matter when your vision loss comes along, or how much it is, it’s an adjustment. And being with people who are in the same group helps.” The 30--40 members hold twicemonthly meetings, monthly lunches, and bowling nights. In addition to bringing together people who are visually impaired and the wider community, next week’s open house will welcome

in Metro Vancouver or at an outof-region site, such as Vancouver Island, in which case the FVRD has no objections. Metro aims to have a new wasteto-energy plant – or perhaps multiple plants – built by 2018. Potential sites both in and outside the region are to be proposed this summer and made public by fall. Meanwhile, Metro is currently calling for prospective partners to table their credentials and what type of waste-to-energy technology they’d use. Thirty-three firms expressed initial interest and they must respond to Metro’s request for qualifications by Feb. 14 if they want to advance in the multi-stage procurement process. The province has ordered Metro to engage in one year of consultations with the FVRD once potential sites are identified, followed by a decision on a final bidder in 2015.

Two fires hit Chilliwack over the weekend

An older farm house on Cannor Road that was being prepped for major renovations went up in flames Friday night. It took Chilliwack firefighters from four different fire halls to extinguish the blaze because of water supply issues. When crews arrived, the structure was already fully involved, said Jeff Ullyot, assistant fire chief with Chilliwack Fire Department. That meant they were battling “defensive” fire, and the focus was on keeping adjacent structures and fire crews safe. The closest fire hydrant to the property was at the corner of Yale Road and Cannor Road, which required a 2400-foot relay of hoses to the site to provide a water source for crews. “It took three or four fire engines to do that,” he said. At the time of the blaze, the structure in the 7400-block of Cannor Road was in the process of having drywall and wiring removed in preparation for renovations. In the end, the two-storey wood farm house built in the 1950s could not be saved. Crews were on-scene until the early hours of the next morning to completely extinguish the fire. Damage is “severe” and the house is now uninhabitable, said the fire official. Continued: Power/ p5

Police have charged a 39-year-old Chilliwack man following a string of armed robberies. RCMP believe Stephen David Turner was responsible for three robberies – including two where an imitation firearm was allegedly produced. The first two robberies occurred last Sunday, first outside the Young Street Market, then later that evening at an ATM machine at the Scotia Bank on Yale Road. The third theft occurred Tuesday night at the TD Canada Trust at 46017 Yale Road. The victim advised police that he was assaulted and robbed after withdrawing money from the ATM. Although the male suspect fled the area, he was located and arrested by police a short distance away. “Fortunately we had members patrolling the area at the time of the last incident,” said Corporal Tammy Hollingsworth. “One of our members spotted a man matching the description of the suspect and after a short foot pursuit the man was taken into custody.”

“The roof had collapsed, and the floor had collapsed so they couldn’t get inside,” said Ullyot. “Hotspots had to be extinguished from the exterior.” There was no one in the house at the time, and no firefighter injuries. The cause of the fire is being investigated but is not considered suspicious. Another fire call had to do with a downed power line that caused a fire and a power outage overnight Sunday on Cessna Drive off Airport Road. Chilliwack firefighters were called to the scene before midnight on Feb. 3, to attend to the primary power line that had fallen down and ignited some hedges. Since the dangling wire was live, it was arcing and creating a spectacular sight, but fire damage was confined to the hedges. Chilliwack Fire crews couldn’t do anything to extinguish the fire until the power was shut down by BC Hydro.

More than 50 people showed up at the Chilliwack Walmart at Eagle Landing on Friday to ask that farmed Atlantic salmon be removed from store shelves. The sound of traditional First Nations drumming and singing filled the parking lot, while some carried placards supporting the National Open-Net Salmon Feedlot Boycott. “The most ominous threat open-net feedlots pose is the spread of deadly diseases,” said local boycott organizer Eddie Gardner, a Skwah First Nation elder. He thanked those who

Boycott organizers are asking retailers like Walmart, Superstore, Safeway and Costco to remove farmed salmon from their shelves. The goal is to “empower consumers to make ethical choices” for their own well being, for the marine environment and for preservation of wild salmon, Gardner said. Since Fraser salmon head to the sea as smolts, and often swim past fish farms, they risk suffering “a blizzard of pathogens and feces” released into the water by feedlots, he said. “This empowers consumers to make the ethical choices for their own well being, for the marine environment and for preservation of wild salmon,” said Gardner. An aquaculture rep contacted by The Progress said that fish farms are strictly managed in B.C. Continued: PROTEST/ p12

More money is being earned by fewer people. According to Statistics Canada, 10.6 per cent of the country’s income is now earned by the top one per cent of those who filed tax returns in 2010. The median income for those top earners is almost 10 times higher than the median income for the remaining 99 per cent. This disparity between the haves and the rest of society was the fuel for last year’s Occupy movement that spread around the world from Wall Street. It is a component of the First Nations’ Idle No More protests to reclaim their portion of Canada’s enormous wealth of natural resources, pumped and excavated from lands that once belonged to them. The gap between rich and poor has fired protest and unrest for as long as there’s been currency. Just ask the French, who disposed their monarchy when the population could no longer afford bread because of onerous taxes. In fact, Canada’s not doing too badly when it comes to dispersing income, ranking somewhere in the middle of the rest of the world. According to the Gini Index, a measure of income dispersion developed by an Italian statistician and sociologist in which a coefficient of zero means everyone has exactly the same income and one means all the wealth within a country is held by one person, Canada’s coefficient is .688. That’s lower than countries like Brazil (.784), the United States (.801) and Switzerland (.803). But it’s higher than the Netherlands (.650), Belgium (.662) and Germany (.667). The country with the most equal distribution of income in the world, according its Gini coefficient of .547, is Japan. Of course, all those statistics are meaningless the next time you check your bank statement. That’s the true measure of wealth distribution. Somehow, it’s never enough. ~ Black Press

Looking back on 10 years of Locally Global

Ten years ago, the world watched in horror as the doomed space shuttle Columbia broke up on re-entry, scattering debris over Texas and killing the crew of seven astronauts. The breakup happened because of a hole in the shuttle’s wing caused by a piece of foam insulation that had broken off the fuel tank during launch and slammed into it. NASA officials assumed, wrongly, that it wouldn’t be a problem on Columbia’s re-entry. But the crew never stood a chance to get home. The story of the Columbia tragedy launched the Locally Global column in this newspaper in February 2003. Since then, elections launched a Conservative government that finally made majority status, the White House has a black president, our troops came home from Afghanistan, everyone came to the Vancouver

Winter Olympics, Bin Laden was killed, the HST died, Will and Kate got married, SETI launched a new optical telescope to read outer space light signals (no feedback yet) and the Occupy movement got moving in less than stellar fashion. It’s been an amazing decade Margaret of events from tragedy and disasEVANS ter to excitement, debate, political wrangling, entertainment, war, sports, remembrances, and surprises. As the causes for global warming let off a lot of hot air (at least enough to melt Arctic glaciers), the earth let off a lot of ground level stress of its own. The

Indonesian tsunami on Boxing Day, 2004, brought us to a standstill. Caused by a 9.2 magnitude megathrust earthquake, the tsunami killed over 230,000 people in 14 countries. The following year, Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans and the southern states and in late fall 2006 we had the massive wind storm that levelled 41 hectares in Stanley Park. And earthquakes continued to rattle with the Haiti tragedy in 2010, Japan’s shaker in 2011 and a 7.7 last October off Haida Gwaii. There were political shakers too as personalities butted heads, took walks across the floor and got into some pretty nasty name-calling. Remember when the newly elected Liberal David Emerson promptly shuffled across the floor to become a Conservative cabinet minister? Belinda Stronach did the same thing going in the oppo-

site direction. Neither garnered much from a disgruntled public and PM Harper didn’t do much for himself either when he prorogued Parliament. Meanwhile war raged on in Afghanistan, the fallen came home, we struggled to understand the psyche of a nation so poor yet so proud, and we wondered if the political choreography would ever step its way to a negotiating table. Close to home, the Queen of the North sank, salmon came back in abundance for just one season, pine beetles ate their way across forests, embattled Enbridge is still trying to sell us on its northern gateway pipeline, Insite is still in business, the great debate to decriminalize marijuana is still a great debate but a greater debate now is what to do about the extremes of bullying, the likes of which drove vulnerable

Best wishes on a well-earned retirement Given Robert Freeman’s retirement as a reporter for the Chilliwack Progress, I wanted to send a note to publicly thank him for his years of service to your paper and our community. For most of my years in public life Robert was part of it. He must have interviewed me thousands of times over the years.

He always did so knowledgably and professionally. While his stories occasionally had me grinding my teeth, it usually wasn’t because they weren’t accurate or factual!! In fact Robert developed an extremely good knowledge base about the community which I found helped a lot to develop perspective about, and under-

standing of, current issues. Let me add my voice to all those wishing Robert good health and happiness in his retirement. He will be missed by your readers and by myself and others with whom he interacted in the course of his career. Well done, Robert! John Les

Applause for a career marked by integrity I just read with a mixture of sadness and joy that Robert Freeman has retired. I am sad not to be able to read his wisdom any more and joyful that such a nice fellow will have the time to pursue other things. Most of my relationship with Robert was

based on the often challenging marriage of politician to reporter. So many of these relationships are full of horror stories, bad feelings and alleged misquotes. Robert’s personality, style (if you can call a plaid shirt and knit tie “style”) and integrity made it pos-

sible for me to honestly say that while I didn’t always like the questions he asked, I never felt like he was unfair in the way he reported a story. I am sure he had his enemies. You can’t be a reporter for as long as he was and not gather a few. Count me on the

side of those who saw him as intelligent, talented and fair. Robert, it doesn’t take long to get used to not seeing your name in the paper every week. Trust me, obscurity is a welcome change. Good luck, my friend. Clint Hames

Soccer no place for ‘goon’ tactics two days to recover; I believe she had a minor concussion. Another of our players was injured and I’m sure many more were bruised. The ref never blew his whistle once. A parent from the other team encouraged his players to “take

her out”…and they did just that. I feel obligated to voice my concern. I truly love soccer. I love watching my girl play. I don’t enjoy watching her get beaten up. I am hoping that if I say something, it may start a ripple. Barb Kervin

A playground is not a dog park

Announced project already completed

Dear dog owners in Promontory, Is it much to much to ask for you to clean up after your pet? I was spending a lovely Saturday with my children in Jinkerson Park, only to have my five-year old step in a large amount of dog excrement. I was aghast to find dog excrement not only in this spot, but actually all around the park. This is a children’s playground, not a dog park. If you want to take your dog to a park, take them to a dog park! This type of incident is not isolated to this one spot up in Promontory, but if you were to walk on any street, or any path, you are sure to come across dog excrement. Dog owners in Promontory, I challenge you to be responsible pet owners and clean up after you dog-our roadways and paths and side roads are not there for you to allow your dogs to relieve themselves!

I grew up in Richmond. I can remember W. A. C. Bennett and the Social Credit government and how it won that constituency three or four times by making promises. The first time they promised a new Oak Street Bridge, the second time a Deas Island Tunnel, the third time for building the Oak Street Bridge, and the fourth time for building the Deas Island Tunnel. The final time he won for taking the tolls off the Oak Street Bridge and the Deas Island Tunnel. So I am quite sceptical about politicians making promises. But according to your article on Page 7 of your January 31, 2013, edition, it was the first time I’ve seen a politician, John Les, promise for a project that was already completed last October, 2012. I’m surprised that Councillor Jason Lum fell for it. Hasn’t he driven around the block lately? With election season around the corner I guess the current government is running out of promises and is desperate to try anything.

Sending some love to Davis Inlet Robert Freeman The Progress

Trish Mercer is a survivor. Her journey reads like a Dickens novel told from an aboriginal point of view, from an impoverished childhood in Newfoundland, through chance encounters with strangers good and bad, and finally to a new life in Chilliwack. Now Mercer, 34, wants to give the Innu people of Davis Inlet — sometimes called “the lost people” of Davis Inlet — the “tools” they need to start their own journey: clothing, books, or even just a letter from a pen pal. This is her appeal to the people of Chilliwack — not government or organizations — to help the people of Davis Inlet find their way. “It all starts with love,” she says. ‘I just wanted to fit in’

She knows all about feeling unloved. Apprehended by the government on different occasions as a child, Mercer is “bounced around” foster homes all around the province of Newfoundland. All the foster families are non-aboriginal, and she remembers crying her heart out as a nine-year-old because she doesn’t feel she belongs anywhere. “I remember sitting there on the edge of my bed and thinking, ‘I wonder if anybody would miss me if I killed myself?’” “But I always had this faith,” she adds, choking back the tears, “that I knew I could do better, that I could be somebody better. I wanted to show people that anything is possible.” Her foster parents weren’t bad people, Mercer is quick to explain, “they just didn’t know how to give me what I needed.” What she needed was an identity. She knew she was an Indian — but what did that mean? “There was no one to teach me about my history, where I came from,” she says. But one day on the TV news she hears about “the aboriginal spirit” in British Columbia, and she vows to go there someday. “I just wanted to fit in,” she says. “I wanted to fit into a society where it’s acceptable to be aboriginal, and I wanted to be surrounded by every type of culture.” The ‘Lost People’ of Davis Inlet

The Innu are the last aboriginal people in Canada to give up the hunting way of life, following the caribou herds across the frozen expanse of Labrador. But uprooted from their traditional territory, the Innu are moved into governmentbuilt homes without plumbing or running water on the remote shores of Davis Inlet in Newfoundland. Soon, the Innu succumb to alcoholism among the adults and to solvent sniffing among the young people. In 1993, a video released to the media shows six children between the ages of 11 to 14 sniffing gasoline in an unheated shack and shouting they want to die. In 1999, a report by Survival International, an international native rights organization, blames the Canadian government for the “crushing poverty, the rampant substance abuse and the sky-high suicide rates of the Labrador Innu.” In 2002, shamed by the negative publicity, the federal government relocates the Innu, but the damage is done and the social problems only follow the community. ‘Are We In Canada?’

At 16, Mercer started her journey west to

escape “the never-ending cycle of pain and suffering” in her home community. “I feel like I’m choking on the past,” she tells one kind woman, who gives her shelter along the way. “Nothing changes. It’s a neverending cycle of pain and suffering and I want to break free of that.” Arriving in Toronto is a major cultural shock for the young Innu girl. “I said ‘Hello’ to everybody,” Mercer recalls. “People were looking at me like I’d lost my marbles.” She gets a job, but discovers she needs something called a social insurance number. “I didn’t have a SIN card,” she says. “I wasn’t even registered as a person until 1994. I didn’t even exist until then.” Eventually arriving in Vancouver by bus, Mercer asks the bus driver, “Are we in Canada? And he looked at me funny and said, ‘Of course we are.’” She has never seen a place green in February. But Mercer’s luck with the kindness of strangers is about to run out. “There was a man standing outside the Greyhound bus station,” she recalls. “He said, ‘Can I help you?’” “I almost got killed because he took me to his house and locked me in this room with bars on the windows,” she says. “He didn’t do anything to me, but it was scary.” Fortunately, another man living in the basement of the house helps her escape. “He said, ‘You need to get out of here right now,’” Mercer recalls, and he called the police, who could have sent her back to Davis Inlet, but instead they send her to an aboriginal safe house in Vancouver. Mercer stays there, absorbing the aboriginal culture around her, for the next two and a half months.

“For the first time in my life I felt at home,” she says. “It was a shelter, but I felt like I was home.” Mercer is granted “the privilege” of choosing her next foster home, and, surprisingly, her choice is a non-aboriginal woman. “She was not aboriginal, but very open to different cultures,” Mercer explains. “I just had a gut feeling about her. She didn’t push anything on me.” “I wanted to know my heritage,” Mercer says, so the woman took her to her first pow wow. “I never felt so alive in all my life,” Mercer recalls. “I just cried and cried.” “These people are proud,” she realizes, as she watches the pow wow. “They’re happy; they sing and dance ... I felt like I belonged for the first time in my life.” ‘My dream of how life should be, unfolded.’

Aboriginal connections made through the safe house, Mercer’s life takes on a new and vibrant direction: she finishes high school; she gets a full-time job at a computer call-centre; she becomes the proud mother of six children. “My dream of how life should be, unfolded,” she says. But the recent Idle No More movement touches off memories of Davis Inlet. Mercer does an Internet search “to find out what’s going on back home” and discovers that although the location of the community has changed, the conditions have not. “I don’t think I cried so hard in a very long time,” she says. The pictures of the children, and the pain in their eyes, is instantly recognizable to her. “I knew that pain because that was me looking right back at me,” she says. But what to do? Mercer calls her friend Crystal Dixon at the

Heiltsuk First Nation in Bella Bella for advice. “You need to shower them with love,” Dixon tells her. From her own life experiences, Mercer knows Dixon is right, and the idea of Sending Love To Davis Inlet is born. “Love is taught,” Mercer says. “You cannot make people change. It is not possible. But you need to give them the tools, and they need to work it. It all starts with love. If you don’t show love ...” Mercer called Davis Inlet to find out the community’s needs, and a community youth worker there tells her baby clothing, jackets, shoes, and socks are needed, and the children “could also use some letters of love, letters of encouragement.” Mercer is hoping some children in Chilliwack will become pen pals with the children of Davis Inlet. “So they see that they’re cared about,” she says. “It all goes back to the basics.” Most of all, Mercer says, she wants to let the people of Davis Inlet know “they are not lost, and that people love them” and that there is hope. “I’m a survivor,” she says. “That’s my purpose. I need to stand up and show people that I’m not a problem in society, that I rose above that.” “I survived everything, all of the abuse, and turned it into something different,” she says. “It’s my responsibility to my children, to my community, to let them know there is hope.” ❖❖❖

As we head into BC’s first “Family Day” long weekend, remember that Shopping Local is more than just keeping your money in Canada. Supporting a local retailer or business outlet means that you are giving back to those who help make our community strong and healthy. Chilliwack is made up of countless family-run businesses. These families are local, living in our neighbourhoods, using and supporting many of the same facilities, programs or services that we all rely on. They also provide employment for our friends and family, and we trust that their business will be there when we need it. Without the support of you, the local customer, their business would not succeed, and our community would run the risk of losing their continued support. Here’s your chance to get to know some local business people and a little of what they do to help make Chilliwack such a great place to live.

If you find your gatherings often involve all the adults sitting around visiting while the youngsters play among themselves and the teens segregate away from both you and the little ones, you’re probably not alone. A family gathering can be a wonderful opportunity for family to hear the latest on jobs, trips, hobbies and health, but if you find your gatherings following the same tedious patterns where one or two family members dominate with the same old stories, this is the year to change it up. Consider adding new experiences to the plans, and making a new and fun tradition out of them. Here are some ideas to get started: Get out and enjoy our beautiful outdoors – no matter what the weather! You don’t need to travel far to find snow g activities, so plan a snowshoe trek or some skiing or sleddin a hitting even or hike a ride, time. Consider taking a bike golf course or a driving range. The idea is to bring everyone together in a family activity you either don’t do enough of or have never done before. Plan a meal away from the house – Instead of cooking for the gathering, plan a formal brunch or dinner at a new restaurant. Not only do you experience a new menu together, but everyone in your group can sit together and enjoy the meal. Chilliwack a number of family-run restaurants, as well . as a diverse cultural make up that offers great dining variety Make your Family Day gathering a retreat for all – consider getting your family out of the house and turn your gathering into a festive retreat. Many venues have activities for all ages to enjoy, from public skating or swimming to refreshing spa services. Think of how much fun it would be for your whole family group to take a yoga class together. Cook together - Family Day is a great time to dig out those family cookbooks and try a recipe handed down by the older generation. Maybe youíre looking to make something youíve never made before, or perhaps you want to try out a new cuisine. Hit the library or the web to get ideas for new recipes, and make a family decision on recipes. Learning about what goes into a dish can set your family on the road to healthy eating. Finding healthy alternatives to notso-healthy foods can be a fun experiment, and may end up being tastier than the original food. Your local grocer or specialty food store is sure to have a wide selection of ingredients that you may never have tasted before, and likely cooking tips to go along with them. Many stores will have sections devoted to healthier options, and wandering the aisles may even spark your imagination. Enjoy Family Day Together!

Board silent on Bible petition BIBLES from Front “If there’s a petition to ban all religious stuff for children, then it’s not simply a matter of whether we distribute Bibles or not,” Throness says. And removing all religious material from school means subscribing to a humanist viewpoint. “If you are going to go completely secular in a school system, you are pushing a life philosophy,” says Pastor Throness. He says he is “sad” that Gideon Bibles are being forced out of schools because he believes they have a role in teaching morality to children. The school board has not responded to BCHA’s petition, says Heather Maahs, chair of the Education Policy Advisor y Committee. This is despite the fact that last week, for ever y new petition signatory, Maahs received a notification in her inbox – a nuisance that she has requested the organization to stop. The school trustees plan to formulate a new materials distribution policy based on stakeholder consultations, and present it at the school board meeting at the end of March. There is no plan for a public forum. Meanwhile, the BCHA is collecting signatures throughout Februar y, to deliver to the school board in March. Additionally, Chilliwack parent Richard Ajabu, who initially registered the complaint about the distribution of religious materials at the November school board meeting, has sent an official letter to the minister of education calling for the termination of the entire Chilliwack school board for failing to uphold the B.C. School Act. Gideon Bibles used to be distributed all over the province, recalls Neufeld, but gradually schools have succumbed to pressure from secularist and faith-based groups. Chilliwack

such as flooding or fire. “The reserves continue to be a priority for the department,” says Brinkman. Although there will be no job losses for ASU military staff, 17 of the 22 full-time civilians within the department are losing their jobs. Four have already found other public service positions, while some are taking the opportunity to retire. The contracts of all 11 casual ASU staff will likewise not be renewed beyond March. The cuts are part of the federal government’s drive to reduce the number of public service staff, says Brinkman, and new civilian jobs are unlikely. “Currently, and for the next several years, it will be an exercise in rationalizing and reducing the number of civilians that we have in the public service,” he says. In other news, the 1041 Caen Road building has been deemed surplus, and Ottawa is in the early stages of determining the structure’s fate. Brinkman expects that following this phase of restructuring, there will be at least a couple of years of stability for the Canadian Forces in Chilliwack.

Seniors care clinic benefits from hospital donation

A recent $7,000 donation from the Chilliwack Hospital and Health Care Foundation will help purchase two pieces of equipment needed for the new Primary Care Seniors Clinic at CGH. The money will be used to pay for a height adjustable exam table suitable for patients with mobility challenges and a patient weigh scale that can be accessed by wheelchair. “I am thrilled to be able to make our first donation to the Primary Care Seniors Clinic at Chilliwack General Hospital as part of our focus on hospital initiatives,” said foundation president John Jansen. “We are fortunate to have established many great partnerships that include the Division of Family Practice and we recognize that local doctors need our support to improve community health. Everything becomes possible when the community works together.” “It is so great to see that there is a foundation that is focusing on improving community health in such a wide range of ways, and it is even better to see that it is all being done locally,” Ken Becotte, The executive director for the Chilliwack Division of Family Practice explains. Director of community relations, Donna Dixson said, “Today is a great example of what makes our Foundation unique. As we show our support for the hospital and initiatives that improve care for seniors with the purchase of this equipment, we are thrilled to receive a cheque for $5,000 from the Chilliwack Division of Family Practice as their endorsement for the Healthy Kids Initiative we are implementing.“ Dr. Ralph Jones,

Lead Physician of the Chilliwack Division of Family Practice, stated, “ As an organization of family practitioner’s, we recognize the important

work of CHHCF and are pleased to be providing support to ensure that children and families in Chilliwack have the information

and resources to be healthy.” The Chilliwack Hospital and Health Care Foundation was established with

a simple goal – to improve community health. Working with health stakeholders, their mandate is to reduce the number of

children, adults, and seniors suffering hardships of health that can be avoided. The local Board of Directors agreed on four areas of

priority to guide their work over the next few years that include hospital initiatives, children and youth, community health and seniors.

Chiefs struggling as playoffs draw near The end of a second straight lousy weekend finds the Chilliwack Chiefs mired in a four game losing skid and head coach Harvey Smyl looking for answers. The Chiefs hit the road for road games in Salmon Arm and West Kelowna. On Friday night, Chilliwack faced the Silverbacks at the Shaw Centre in Salmon Arm, losing 3-1. The Chiefs had things locked at 1-1 midway through the third period, with Cooper Rush scoring the lone Chilliwack goal on a power play. But Salmon Arm struck twice in the final 1:01, on goals by Josh Bowes and Bryden

Marsh, to beat the Chiefs for the second time in a week. The Silverbacks were full value for the win, peppering Chilliwack netminder Mitch Gillam with 39 shots. Saturday night’s game against the West Kelowna Warriors was entertaining, though it ended poorly for the Chiefs. Chilliwack led 3-0 at the 7:15 mark of period two on goals by Austin Plevy (two) and Josh Hansen. The Warriors came roaring back with three unanswered goals by David Pope (two) and Brett Zarazun. Still, after Tanner Cochrane scored with 2:28 left in the middle frame, Chilliwack had

a 4-3 lead heading to period three. And that’s where things fell apart. West Kelowna outscored the Chiefs 4-1 in the final frame to take a 7-5 final. Pope, Brent Lashuk, Max French and Seb Lloyd did the damage, with Spencer Graboski scoring for Chilliwack. Interesting sidenote: Pope netted his hattrick on Faith Night at Royal LePage Place. The weekend results leave the Chiefs further behind the Surrey Eagles for top spot in the Mainland division. Surrey now sports a five point lead over the Chilliwack. The Chiefs are only six up on the Prince George Spruce Kings,

who refuse to fade away quietly. Missing the playoffs isn’t likely, but Chilliwack is picking a lousy time to play their worst hockey. There are only seven regular season games remaining to fine-tune their game before the postseason begins. ● Chilliwack’s recent slide has sent them toppling right out of the CJHL national rankings. The latest list finds the Victoria Grizzlies as the top rated BCHL team at No. 4. The Pencticton Vees are up five spots from No. 12 to No. 7 and the Eagles get an honourable mention. Find the full list online at cjhlhockey. com.

Injuries hurt Grizzly girls For the second time in a week, Tanner Cochrane (right) and his Chilliwack Chiefs were stopped by the Salmon Arm Silverbacks. The Chiefs have lost four straight heading into a busy three-games-in-three nights weekend versus Prince George, Alberni Valley and Coquitlam. JAMES MURRAY/ BLACK PRESS

Sardis students hit the links

The brand-new golf academy at Sardis secondary school teed off Monday. Eight students are involved. They’ll be working on their games five days a week at the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club, and CG&CC head instructor Jennifer Greggain couldn’t be more excited. “We’ve also got a really great certified fitness instructor coming in from Surrey twice a week,” she said. “These kids will be getting some of the top training in Canada.” Lindsay Manion is the trainer. She works at the Tour Performance

Lab, a golf-specific training facility that utilizes the Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) program. “She is the assistant to Jason Glass, who is one of the lead educators for TPI in North America,” Greggain said. “I work with Lindsay to improve my own game, and we are extremely lucky to have her helping us out.” Manion’s first task will be to assess the strengths and weaknesses of the Sardis students. From there, she will construct customized programs aimed at eliminating limitations. “No longer are golf lessons simply, ‘keep your left arm straight

and bend your knees,’” Greggain explained. “TPI is revolutionary and innovative and not something we’ve seen a lot of.” Greggain doesn’t believe she’s exaggerating when she talks about having some of the best training in the country. She thinks it’s only a matter of time until more people take notice. “These new training techniques are starting to trickle out to Chilliwack, and that excites me personally,” she said. “We’ve got these eight kids to start, and next year I hope we’ll be up to 12-15.” Get more info at sardisathletics.com/ golf-academy.html

GW Graham’s senior girls basketball team played in the 26th Street Big Kahuna Tournament at York House last weekend, putting up a solid effort against some topranked teams. The Grizzlies opened with a Thursday win over No. 7 Duchess Park. GWG knocked

off No. 3 St. Thomas Aquinas Friday afternoon and moved on to a semi-final versus York House. The Grizzlies were exhausted, and top gunners Kaitlyn McDonald and Jenika Bannerman were sidelined the entire second half with injuries. It was too much to overcome, and the

Grizzlies found themselves bumped to the consolation bracket and a Saturday night game versus Southridge. With Bannerman still sitting, GWG lost by two points on a buzzerbeater. “But it was an awesome weekend for the team as we head into the last week of league play and regionals starting

Feb. 13th,” said coach Sarah Mouritzen. “It is a must-win situation for us against Abbotsford Christian on Tuesday in order to finish first in the Fraser Valley East league.” Though she was hobbled, McDonald still earned tournament all-star honours. Kassia Bednarzcyk earned an honourable mention.

GWG fundraising for football The GW Graham athletic department is looking for help as the fledgling football program prepares to expand. The school fielded Grade 8 and junior var-

sity squads last year, and will be adding a varsity team in the fall. “The cost of gear and equipment for a start up program is staggering,” said GWG coach Laurie Smith. “We spent over $50,000 in 2012 on helmets, pads, field equipment, uprights, travel, referees and other items, and we must do it again to add a varsity program in 2013. We need your help, and any

amount is truly appreciated.” A Fundrazr link at fundrazr.com/campaigns/ aQdl5#.UQv6BsVcb0E. mailto allows for donations through PayPal. GWG’s first season on the gridiron was a smashing success. The junior varsity team won four straight down the stretch to finish 4-2, missing the playoffs on a tiebreaker. The Grade 8 team

finished first in the AA regular season standings, ripped through the AAA playoff bracket and lost to the Notre Dame Jugglers in the provincial title game at BC Place. “In terms of our efforts on the field we believe we are starting a proud tradition of excellence at GW Graham,” Smith said. “The future looks very promising for this program.”

All-local high school basketball matchups highlight the schedule this week as Chilliwack secondary school clashes with their cross-town rivals from Sardis secondary school. The Sardis senior girls face the CSS senior girls Thursday night at 6 p.m. The Sardis senior boys face the CSS senior boys immediately afterwards at 8 p.m. The Sardis Falcon boys continue to lurk just outside the top 10 in the provincial rankings. In the latest list (Jan. 30), they check in as an honourable mention. They’ll be gunning for one of eight provincial tournament berths when Fraser Valley playoffs start next week.

to 15-3, tying them with the Regina Cougars and Calgary Dinos for the best record in Canada West. Friday night’s game was close at the half, with UFV leading the Heat by just three points at the break. But the Cascades blew it open in the third quarter, outscoring UBC-O 22-9 to put the game away. UFV cruised to a 73-58 final. Chilliwack’s Nicole Wierks did the most offensive damage with

BROOKS Kathleen Eleanor

April 1, 1930 January 23, 2013 K a t h y Brooks (nee Gubbins) of Cultus Lake passed away at The Cascades Hospice BrOOks in Chilliwack, BC, in the early hours of Wednesday, January 23rd. She will be deeply missed and remembered by her sister Patricia Hanson, her daughter Julie and granddaughter Esmé, her daughter Jennifer, her son Joe and his wife Nancy, for whom she was a most beloved mother-in-law. She also leaves behind her niece Kathy, and nephews Karl and Jim, as well as many cherished friends. Kathy was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and moved in her late teens with her family to Vancouver. Years later, she would settle in the Fraser Valley, finding her special place at Cultus Lake. She spent eighteen years as a teacher-librarian at Abbotsford Senior Secondary School before retiring to enjoy writing, quilting, and other social activities through Probus and the Elder College. Kathy loved music and animals. Her piano lessons and the cats she rescued were an integral part of her life. She thoroughly enjoyed contributing to her community at Cultus, sharing her love of birds, nature, and especially the Lake, with her neighbours. Her free-spirited enthusiasm for life was a treasure to those who knew her and will be greatly missed. A celebration of Kathy’s life will take place at her home on the weekend of her 83rd birthday, March 31st at 1:00 pm. Refreshments will be served. If desired, a donation can be made to Mom’s favourite charity, the SPCA. Her children would like to express their very sincere appreciation and gratitude to the staff and volunteers of Cascades who eased the last weeks of Kathy’s life with their support and respect. Inquiries and condolences may be sent to ForKathyBrooks@gmail.com

Angels watching ever round thee, All through the night, In thy slumbers close surround thee, All through the night. They will of all fears disarm thee, No forebodings should alarm thee, They will let no peril harm thee All through the night.
