FVRD backs ChilliwackLangley express bus

■ G RIZZLY R OAR

Alina Konevski Black Press After years in the works, residents will soon be able to commute from Chilliwack to Abbotsford to Langley, and beyond, by public bus. The Fraser Valley Express bus has been unanimously approved by the Fraser Valley Regional District at Tuesday’s board meeting through a new bylaw. Chilliwack councillor Jason Lum, chair of the transportation advisory committee, was thrilled to see the Chilliwack-AbbotsfordLangley bus connection coming to fruition. “I am extremely pleased to see this system put into place,” he said. He sees it becoming a vital transit link, not only between the communities of Abbotsford and Chilliwack, but between Metro Vancouver and Chilliwack ultimately. “It will benefit not only students who attend UFV, but residents who go into Abbotsford for cancer treatment, and it will also bring people into Chilliwack to shop at our businesses and stores.” FVRD director and Abbotsford mayor Bruce Banman agreed: “I’m pretty excited about this particular connection because finally, that invisible border between TransLink and the rest of the world will be erased,” he said. “People who want to get out of their cars to go to work will find a convenient way to do that…I think it’s been that missing link that the public has been asking for for a long, long time.” For the first time, a BC Transit bus will seamlessly connect the three municipalities, which have a combined population of 317,000.

Kirkland Kennedy (No. 21) leads his GW Graham Grizzlies into battle in their home opener, played Friday night at Exhibition Stadium. It was the first senior varsity game played in Chilliwack in 30 years, but the final score favored the visitors, with the Rick Hansen Hurricanes winning 23-0. See story, page 16.

Pub stabbing sends two men to hospital Eric Welsh The Progress The blinking neon ‘open’ sign was flashing in the window of Chilliwack’s District Public House Monday morning, but the only people going in and out were police officers. The downtown pub was the site of a double-stabbing Sunday night, and Monday morning found the place surrounded by yellow police tape. Evidence placards and tarps covered the ground near the entrance, and one officer sat in

his car making sure the evidence remained undisturbed. While forensics teams worked inside, pub owner Brad Stuart tried to make sense of the scene. “It’s the last thing you want to happen in a pub,” he said. “We’ve worked so hard to make it a safe and fun environment, and all it takes is a few minutes to destroy that hard work.” Stuart said it was just after 7 p.m. when two men came into the pub and went upstairs for a game of pool. About 20 minutes later, staff heard a ruckus. Then, they saw two men come downstairs

and go outside, both covered in blood. District staff immediately phoned 9-1-1, then phoned their boss, who lives a couple blocks away. Stuart got there in time to see the stabbing victims being loaded onto stretchers. “They had arrested a third guy, and they were looking for a fourth guy,” he said. That has since been confirmed by police. Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen said one of them is in serious condition, while the other sustained

superficial wounds. While none of his staff witnessed the actual stabbings, Stuart spent the next few hours trying to calm rattled employees. “Everyone there, even the customers, are like family and this is like having it happen in your own home,” he said. “This is devastating. We’ve had a perfect record up to now, where we haven’t even had fights in the pub. We haven’t even had a noise complaint in the last year and a half. I don’t think any of the staff has ever had any concerns about being safe.” Continued: PUB/ p4

Heritage homes recognized for historical significance Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Two of Chilliwack’s most significant homes received heritage plaques presented by Mayor Sharon Gaetz on Thursday. “Chilliwack has an incredible history and recognizing homes that are historically significant is important to the city,” said Mayor Gaetz. Gervan House and Stonehurst are the first two homes to fall under Chilliwack heritage bylaws, after recent adoption by council of an updated policy on Heritage Designation. The owners of the Stonehurst on Yale Road East, and the Gervan

House on First Avenue, were also recognized last week for the careful work done to preserve the stately properties. “We are proud of our history and of the incredible job both residences have done to lovingly preserve their heritage homes,” said Gaetz. Both homes were notable for their architectural and structural elements. One is two and a half storeys high, which has not changed owners since the 1950s, and the other is a grand mansion built of stone. There are other heritage homes in Chilliwack but the Gervan and Stonehurst are the first ones protected under the updated policy.

A detailed “statement of significance” or SOS, is required for heritage designation, and covers heritage status details, as well as conservation standards and guidelines, and character-defining elements. The SOS reports for the Gervan and Stonehurst cost about $2,000 each, and were produced by consultants Donald Luxton & Associates. The Gervan House was built in 1911 in the Foursquare style, common to the Edwardian era. It was one of the earliest homes in the Mountain View neighbourhood “Albert bought the house in 1954,” said Linda Phelps, about her husband’s purchase. “It’s been

in the Phelps name a long time.” She’s thrilled by the heritage designation. “I’m all for it,” she said just before the plaque presentation. “We were pushing for it.” The designation is a great way to “preserve the heritage and the history of a community,” Phelps said. “I hope this encourages others to come forward.” Today the Gervan house is considered “a valuable record” of the urban and social development of the residential area, adjacent to downtown Chilliwack, in the early years of the twentieth century. It’s known as Colonial Revival built during the Edwardian boom, while the Stonehurst on Yale Road

Parents call for flexibility in punishment policy Katie Bartel The Progress A group of Sardis secondary school parents are actively pushing the school district to soften its regulation on drugs and alcohol following the expulsion of their children last week. Ten of 12 Grade 12 students were expelled from Sardis secondary last week after they admitted to smoking marijuana during an overnight soccer tournament in Surrey. The soccer team was also disbanded. Most of the students involved have had no prior behavioural incidents, have good grades, and athletic reputations. The parents agree the students should be punished, but say expulsion goes too far. “Most of these kids are topnotch kids” said parent Derek Middleton. “They made a bad decision, and they’re now being hit with the hammer for it.” Last Monday, the students were called in for a one-on-one meeting with their principal after the school’s administration had been notified the group smelled of marijuana at the tournament. All but one admitted to smoking marijuana. At that time, all were told they could no longer attend Sardis secondary and would be sent to another high school in the district. They were sent home and their parents were later notified by phone. Since then, two have been readmitted. Middleton, along with the other parents, met with principal Diego Testa last Thursday to plead their case, but to no avail. “They keep telling us their hands are tied by policy, but if that’s the case, then change it,” said Middleton. “Kicking them out of school is in no way any step towards solv-

Eckert made his fortune in the booming lumber markets and real estate development of the time. He helped established the first local hospital and was instrumental in initiating the Mennonite settlement in Yarrow, as well as serving as Alderman from 1912-13. After Sumas Lake was drained in 1924, he saw the great potential for agriculture in the Fraser Valley and established one of the largest dairy farms. “It’s such a cool house,” said Rob O’Brennan about Stonehurst, Continued: HOMES/ p5

ing the problem. They’re teenagers, they need discipline and coaching… by rejecting them and neglecting to take the time to counsel them and encourage them back on the right path is the easy way out.” Middleton wants the school district to change its regulation into something that would look at infractions on a more individualized basis. He would also like to see schools adopt an approach to discipline more in line with restorative justice – where those who break the rules aren’t isolated from the system, but taught the value of working with it.

Make the students do community service, write an essay, perform a speech in front of the entire student body, he said. “Make them more accountable.” School district officials have taken note. “This particular incident has sparked further discussion regarding the admin regulations and we are going to be looking at doing a review of it in the future,” said assistant superintendent Rohan Arul-Pragasam. But for the students at the root of this incident that review won’t be soon enough. Their expulsions

stand. The students can apply for readmission next semester, but their parents feel the damage will have already been done. With it being their Grade 12 year, they’re already facing a lot of pressures with their studies, and applying for universities, scholarships, etc.. “It can cause stress, depression, it’s the kind of thing that ends up with a kid leaving school permanently,” said Middleton. “What kind of learning tool is that for these kids? What are you teaching them?” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Purple lights will shine across Chilliwack for the month of October to put a spotlight on domestic violence. The Purple Light Nights campaign 2013 kicks off with a tree-lighting ceremony, this year at Ken’s Tire and Wheel on Alexander Avenue, Oct. 1 at 6:30 p.m. It’s the fifth year of the Purple Lights Nights in Chilliwack, supported by Specialized Victim Assistance from Chilliwack Community Services, Ann Davis Transition Society, RCMP Victim Services and more. “It is growing every year and purple lights are showing up in more homes, businesses, and communities than ever,” said Shelley Bolan, manager of the Transition House at Ann Davis Transition Society. Organizers ordered 800 purple bulbs this year. Purple Light Nights first appeared in Washington State in 2007, and the phenomenon has been growing steadily, as communities across North America embraced it in 23 states and three Canadian provinces, as a visual way to remember domestic victims and prevent family violence. The goal is getting people talking about domestic violence, the services available in the community, its impacts on children and families, as well as education about healthy relationships. Many downtown businesses on Wellington Avenue have pledged to create window displays using the purple bulbs for Purple Light Nights. Continued: LIGHTS/ p10

Because it sticks out as a random incident and not a patter, Stuart said he will not be reactionary. “We’ve built this place on being safe and sound, and I’m not going to be putting in metal detectors at the front door,” he said. “You can’t have secu-

Chilliwack transit users have witnessed unprecedented growth in the past year. And it’s clear by last week’s FVRD decision that even better days are ahead. (See story, front page.) The regional board approved plans for a transit line that will link Chilliwack with Langley, through Abbotsford. The bus will finally join transit systems within the three cities, and provide an important link to the TransLink system of Metro Vancouver. The decision still needs the support of city councils in both Chilliwack and Abbotsford. However, given the support city representatives showed in approving the FVRD decision, that support seems likely. And well it should be. Up until now moving between Chilliwack, Abbotsford and beyond required a vehicle. Yes, there was the Greyhound bus, and this year students at the University of the Fraser Valley have banded together to offer a shuttle service between campuses in Chilliwack and Abbotsford. But not since the days of BC Electric has there been a regular and reliable link between the cities. If approved, the bus line will not only provide Chilliwack commuters with access to Abbotsford, it will also link with express lines in Langley that tie into the the SkyTrain system that taxpayers here helped build. But the river runs both ways. It means people who work in Chilliwack but live somewhere else, will have a more economical way to get to work. And that’s good news for the local economy. True, no one wants to see Chilliwack become a bedroom community to the rest of the Lower Mainland. We want to see jobs here, and businesses that contribute to the tax base and local economy. But those businesses need employees who have reliable and affordable access to their jobs. There has long been a call for a commuter train to fill this need, and those how have advocated for a rail line may be disappointed. But an express bus is an important first step. Ridership numbers will provide important data on the viability of that option – and the eventual total integration of Lower Mainland rapid transit. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Will climate change now get the attention it deserves? The 2013 assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released yesterday and preceded by last week’s press release in Stockholm, Sweden, minced no words when it stated that human influence on the global climate is clear. According to the report, it is extremely likely that human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century. The evidence for this has grown steadily thanks to more and better observations, an improved understanding of how the climate system responds to multiple triggers, and improved climate models. Those models have provided a better understanding of continental temperature analogies and the influences of anomalies such as volcanic activity that might lead to cooling. Speaking of natural anomalies,

the report recognized that the rate of warming in the last 15 years (1998-2012) which began with a strong El Nino is less than the rate of warming calculated since 1951. But a 15-year span does not reflect long-term trends. Effective climate models are based on a minimum of 30-year periods. Given climate Margaret complexities, variEVANS able temperatures should be normal and expected. “Observations of changes in the climate system are based on multiple lines of independent evidence,” said Qin Dahe, co-chair of IPCC Working Group 1. Variables notwithstanding, the atmosphere and oceans have steadily warmed, snow and ice

have rapidly diminished, sea levels have risen, the concentrations of greenhouse gases have increased, and animal species are connecting the dots and making some lifestyle changes. In the journal Nature Climate Change, a review of studies claims that animals are adjusting to a warming world by slight shrinkage in size. The study found that 38 of 85 animal and plant species had diminished in size over the past decades including squirrels, toads, red-billed gulls, shrimp, crayfish, and a sheep species in Scotland. While other variables could account for this, size shrinkage of animals has been found in the archaeological record when species adapted to periods of global warming in the past and a smaller body size helped shed body heat. By the numbers, this 5th IPCC report is impressive. There were

209 lead authors and 50 review editors from 39 countries together with over 600 contributing authors with specific expertise from 32 countries. There were over 9,200 peer-reviewed scientific publications cited and two million gigabytes of numerical data from climate model simulations. Each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth’s surface than any preceding decade since 1850. In the northern hemisphere, 1983-2012 was likely the warmest 30-year period of the last 1,400 years. It is virtually certain, the authors state, that the upper ocean (to a depth of 700 metres) warmed from 1971 to 2010 and was most likely warming steadily for the century prior to that. As sea ice and snow cover have continued to melt, sea levels have risen since the mid-19th century greater than the mean average rate during the

previous 2,000 years. And CO2 emissions have stubbornly risen by as much as 40 per cent since pre-industrial times. How much all this is going to get the attention of the Harper government, which has been notoriously lacking in effective policies on climate change, remains to be seen. The fed’s slash and burn approach to budgets for science research still stings. That shortsighted approach in an attempt to balance budgets denies the importance of continued research at a time when it is critically important to develop mitigation strategies. “Continued emissions of greenhouse gases will cause further warming and changes to all components of the climate system,” said Thomas Stocker, co-chair of Working Group 1. “Limiting climate change will require substantial and sustained reductions of greenhouse gas emissions.”

gerprint. Â At my bank, where I have to provide two pieces of ID that are recorded in their files, I cannot where a hat as I deal with employees who know me by name. Photo radar is also a step towards highway toll roads and complete photo enforcement of speeding and all other traffic offences. Â The B.C. government swore off photo radar a few years back, and they have continued to say this program will not return. Â Those highway signs that say â€œTraffic Laws Enforced By Camerasâ€? have betrayed their intent, for it is clear that there is an agenda to bring all drivers under the watchful cameraâ€™s eye. Your cell phone, your GPS, and even your vehicleâ€™s onboard computer system transmit your whereabouts. Â And, these devices

School garden program plants seeds for the future Iâ€™d like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the families, business, and especially the volunteers who support the Chilliwack Schools Garden Program. We had the pleasure of attending the awards ceremony this past Wednesday at Strathcona Elementary and my son was absolutely thrilled to be recognized for his efforts in the Junior Container Garden category. All of the young people who participated did a wonderful job, judging by the photos, posters, and

journals on display and the glowing remarks from the judges panel. This was our first year participating and certainly not our last. I encourage everyone with school aged children to consider joining the program next year; what a great way to teach our kids about the effort that goes in to growing the food we eat and how much fun it can be to take an active role in the process.

can provide a record of the speed you travelled getting there. Â I am not willing to retroactively pay fines for every time I drove 51 in a 50k/hr zone. Â In the current climate of electronic privacy invasion, I urge private citizens to resist any further moves that allow government agencies to spy on you. We do not need the province to legislate every detail of our lives. Â We have laws designed to deal with reckless driving. Â We donâ€™t need police spotters or computer controlled cameras looking in our car windows as we drive past. Â I am willing to trust that parents will be careful as they drop their children at school. Â And, I do not support another effort to spy on my private life.

Itâ€™s very interesting to see the new Hampton Hotel at Lickman Road, as well as its Stage 2 plans for more commercial venues at the same site, and then the new Co-Op cardlock just almost next door. However, there does not appear to have been any road preparation on Lickman Road and the overpass in order to accommodate increased hotel and truck and fuel traffic. The two-lane overpass is already well over capacity. Doesnâ€™t Mayor Gaetz and her city planners feel the need to four-lane the road before all these new businesses are up and running? Ruth Haire

to neighbouring municipalities such as Surrey. The Monday to Saturday service would run every 60-90 minutes during peak times, and 90-120 minutes off-peak. “We’re trying to make it a very quick and easy service to provide access to jobs within Chilliwack and Abbotsford, and everywhere else in the Valley,” said BC Transit senior planner Michelle Orfield. Existing Fraser Valley routes have proven the demand for public buses. The Harrison Hot Springs–Agassiz– Chilliwack bus is “booming” in ridership and will receive an increase in service, according to Orfield. The Mission– Abbotsford and Aldergrove–Abbotsford lines are also doing very well, as is the Mission connection of the West Coast Express. A plan to connect Hope to Chilliwack and Agassiz is in the works. The total annual cost for operating the six-bus Fraser Valley Express service is $1.6 million. BC Transit will fund 47 per cent of the cost of the new route, with local municipalities kicking in the rest. With the new FVRD bylaw in hand, BC Transit is going ahead with vehicle procurement, determining a fare structure, and finalizing routes and schedules. The transportation bylaw will still need to be approved by Abbotsford and Chilliwack city councils. Both city mayors were enthusiastic about the initiative at the FVRD board meeting on Tuesday. For those in Chilliwack who have been pushing for more sustainable transportation options, said Chilliwack councillor Lum their day has come. “Now we just need to keep up the momentum for transit.” A final approval from the provincial Inspector of Municipalities is also pending. Although it usually takes 18 months to purchase bus fleets, Orfield is optimistic that BC Transit will be able to get this system up and running by next September. ~ With files from Jennifer Feinberg

Mayah Abelman, pictured with mom Natasha, is a Grade 4 student at Evans elementary who has spent every year since starting school watching her friends play from the sidelines. The school’s playground committee hopes a contest will help them acquire the funds needed to build an accessible and inclusive playground for all children to play. JENNA HAUCK/ THE PROGRESS

Evans: making play accessible for all students Katie Bartel The Progress All Mayah Abelman wants is to play with her friends. Since kindergarten, the nineyear-old has been watching from the sidelines as her peers chute down the slide, hang from the monkey bars, and swing to the sky. She can’t do any of it. Mayah was born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus; she’s paralyzed from the waist down. And because her school’s playground at Evans elementary is not wheelchair accessible, the playground has been off limits for her since starting school. Her wheelchair cannot get over the cement curb that encases the playground, and the wheels spin out in the wood chips at the first

sign of rain. Some days she goes home angry that her legs don’t work, other days she shrugs; it’s all she’s ever known. But at the mention of a playground she could play on, her eyes light up as bright as the sun was shining last Thursday afternoon. “It would be really awesome,” she said, a toothy grin spreading across her face, as the words came flying out. “I could go on the monkey bars and the spinny thing. I really want to play on the spinny thing. My brother hates to get dizzy, but I love to get dizzy.” If the school’s playground committee has its way, Mayah will be granted that wish by December 2014. Evans elementary has submit-

ted an application to the Aviva Community Fund, a Canadian contest that could pay for the entirety of a new playground if the school wins. With the contest, groups from around the world are encouraged to submit an idea that will promote positive change in their community. There are two rounds of online public voting. The ideas with the most votes move on to the next round, or could even bypass that round and go straight to the semifinals. Thirty finalists will be selected, winning anywhere from $5,000 to $150,000. Evans believes its playground has a winning shot. Out of 308 students, 16 have special needs, and four are mobility impaired.

In its research, the school’s playground committee toured 15 other playgrounds in surrounding neighbourhoods; none were wheelchair accessible. “What we’re trying to do is make it so this playground is more than just accessible, it’s inclusive,” said Mayah’s mom Natasha Abelman, “meaning, all kids can play together and not feel segregated.” So far, Evans has raised nearly $17,000 for a playground that would feature several inclusive elements including a bucket seat swing that has a transfer point from wheelchair and walkers; a bucket seat spinner, that also has a transfer point and would encourage vestibular sensory stimulation; monkey bars low enough that a child in a wheelchair could access on their own; and a dome that

would provide a quiet space for over-stimulated children needing a break from the hustle and bustle of the playground. It will also have a rubberized surfacing that wouldn’t lock kids like Mayah out. This playground won’t just be for the Evans community, it will be available for all to use. “When you consider that Evans is right dead centre of Chilliwack, this playground would be accessible for kids all over Chilliwack to come and play,” said parent Katrina Eng. And for moms like Abelman, it would mean peace. “So many of us moms watch our kids on the playground, and when I see my daughter off to the side watching her friends play, it’s sad, Continued: EVANS/ p12

Feet fly to the quiver of the fiddle. S

ome of Canada’s finest young musicians are coming to The Cultural Centre on October 5 with the spirited family band, Everything Fitz. Celebrating the Centre’s third anniversary, this high-energy fiddling and step dancing emsemble from Ontario performs this remarkably unique show at 7:30pm in the Main Theatre. Blending a variety of musical styles with amazing footwork this fantastic ensemble is uplifting, fun and inspirational. Exhilarating entertainment for the whole family. Everything Fitz, a Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society presentation, features a repertoire of the finest Canadian old-time fiddle traditions and the unique Ottawa step dancing style of dance. The frenzied footwork and fantastic fiddling is sure to ignite the Canadian spirit in all of us!

Siblings Julie, Kerry, and Tom Fitzpatrick are all champion fiddlers and provide intricate 3-part fiddle harmonies as well as solo improvisations on fiddle, mandolin, and guitar. Brother Pat on percussion along with parents Pam and Paddy, who provide accompaniment on piano and bass guitar, round out this incredibly gifted family band. “Step Dancing is a fast paced, rugged and energetic style of dance usually performed to traditional fiddle music. The dance is concentrated on foot work involving limited hand and arm motion. Dancers’ legs look very “rubber like” and much coordination is required of the legs, feet and ankles. A distinguishing factor in the Ottawa style is that there is use of the dancers arms and steps are higher off of the floor.”

Growing up in the hotbed of musical tradition that is Ontario’s Ottawa Valley, the Fitzgerald siblings’ musical journey of dance and fiddle began early in life as they studied and mastered the unique fluid style of step dance that evolved from the Irish, Scottish, and French immigrants coming to Canada. Developing their art from these deep and lasting roots, while allowing the influences of contemporary music to help shape their career, Everything Fitz has received glowing accolades from promoters, theatre presenters, and fans across Canada and the United States. Mixing traditional jigs and reels, bluegrass, jazz, swing standards, Celtic, and gospel with the precision and intricacy of their footwork creates a riveting spectacle to behold, leaving many in the audience fired up with excitment. Sure to please both visually and acoustically, The Fitzgerald family appeals to audiences of all ages and musical tastes; it is family entertainment at its highest level! Everything Fitz is generously sponsored by Star 98.3, Nestle Water Canada, The Hampton Inn, The Chilliwack Progress, John Martin-MLA, The Department of Canadian Heritage, The City of Chilliwack, The British Columbia Arts Council, and The Province of British Columbia.

RECYCLING LEGISLATION IMPACTS BUSINESS

FROM THE DESK OF EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FIENY VAN DEN BOOM Many B.C. businesses will be adversely affected by a new recycling regulation that will be implemented by Multi Material BC (MMBC, a not-for-profit agency under the BC Societyâ€™s act) starting May 19, 2014. The regulation imposes fees on B.C. businesses that produce packaging, flyers or other printed materials that end up in residential recycling bins (blue bags or blue boxes). Businesses affected by this regulation will include small business and large retail operations. The criteria are: Does your company have residency in BC? Does your organization or company supply packaging and printed paper into the B.C. residential market? If you answered yes to both of these questions, your company is a producer of packaging and printed paper (PPP). In the original plan you were required to have an approved product stewardship plan before April 2013. To be in compliance with the recycling regulation, there were two options for producers: Develop your own stewardship plan to implement and administer the collection of your packaging and printed paper. Join Multi Material B.C. (MMBC) by sending them a nonbinding â€œLetter of Intentâ€? agreeing MMBC will carry out your responsibility under the regulations for a proscribed fee to be determined. During this process, producers were required to report the quantity of PPP they supply to B.C. residents so that

MMBC can allocate fees across its members. MMBC expects to be able to announce the costs to producers by the end of 2013. While the Chamber understands the need for sustainable business practices, including recycling, it is concerned at the impact that this regulation will have on small business. In order to make sure this regulation is implemented properly, with as little disruption to business and consumers as possible, the B.C. Chamber requested a meeting with Minister Polak to discuss concerns with the lack of communication, consultations and the timeframe to address concerns leading up to the implementation of the PPP regulation. They also had continued communication with Allen Langdon, Managing Director for MMBC. This approach has led to some tangible results for our members and the wider business community.Â Through the proactive engagement of the Chamber movement, MMBC has committed to establishing a consultation process that will result in the creation of a Small Business Policy that will be released no later than January 2014.Â MMBCâ€™s commitment is that this policy is intended to eliminate or minimize any negative impacts that this regulation might have on small business. While this policy is being developed MMBC has agreed to the following interim measures: MMBC has agreed to implement a temporary minimum threshold of $750,000 in gross revenues for their program. These businesses will have no obligations under the program until May 2014; and

Any business larger than $750,000 in gross revenues, that has not signed a letter of intent with MMBC, will not need to do so until MMBCâ€™s Small Business Policy has been released (estimated for early 2014). MMBC has agreed to consult with the BC Chamber, along with other business organizations, in the development of the Small Business Policy. As part of this, we will continue to advocate for a permanent minimum threshold for participation in the program, meaning that businesses under a given size wouldnâ€™t have to report or pay fees into the program. While these announcements are welcome there is much work to do during the consultation process to ensure the program does not represent an unacceptable administrative, or cost burden to business. With that said, we would like to recognize the constructive dialogue we have had with MMBC on addressing the concerns of our members. In addition, the Chamber believes the coordination and co-operation between the Ministries of Environment and Small Business and the involvement and commitment of both ministers has been absolutely central to the improvements we are seeing to this program. We will be your voice of business throughout this process, and will continue to update you on this file as significant developments occur.

Junior Grizzlies crush Mission in home opener GW Graham’s doubleheader home opener was a case of good news/bad news. Good news. The junior crew dominated the visiting Mission Roadrunners, improving to 2-0 with a 52-6 win. Bad news. Playing the first senior game in Chilliwack in 30 years, the big Grizzlies were blanked 23-0 by the Rick Hansen Hurricanes. The juniors got things started Friday night with a 5 p.m. kickoff on the newlyturfed Exhibition Stadium. They were on the board with a touchdown less than three minutes in. A fumble recovery set GWG up at the Mission 22 yard line. Billy Hanson plowed into the endzone six plays later, bulling in from the one. GWG went up 12-0 two minutes later on an 18 yard TD run by Hanson, who got the lion’s share of carries at running back. Starting tailback Tristan Davis left the game after the first series and did not return. The Grizzlies went up 18-0 late in the first quarter, with quarterback Jordan Breuker rolling left and finding Baker Douglas on a six yard scoring strike. Mission got their lone major early in the second

quarter, on a 61 yard scamper by running back Joeda Cannon. But the Grizzlies hit ‘em back four plays later, with Emerson Smith fighting off double coverage to bring down a Breuker pass in the back of the endzone. Breuker threw touchdown passes to Noah Dubosoff and Smith again to put his team up 38-6 at halftime. The second half was played with a running block. On GWG’s first play, Hanson took a handoff and went off right tackle for 65 yards and a major. The final Grizzlies score was a 20 yard run by Smith, who broke four or five tackles on his way to the endzone. The Roadrunners strung together a 12 play drive late in the fourth quarter that ended with a GWG stop on fourth and one. On the senior side, the Hurricanes rolled to a relatively easy shutout win, getting all but one touchdown in the first half. The GWG offence had its moments, with Brett Westad chewing up yards at running back and Jake Creasey hauling in passes from quarterbacks Josh Pretty and Branden McCormick. But the Grizzlies struggled to string plays together, and stalled when they got into the red-zone.

GW Graham’s Emerson Smith flies down the sideline during junior varsity football action Friday night at Exhibition Stadium. Smith had two touchdown passes and a touchdown run in a 52-6 whomping of Mission. ERIC WELSH/ PROGRESS

Down 7-0 midway through the first quarter, the Grizzlies put together a nine play drive that got them down to the Hurricane six

yard line. But GWG was stuffed on a fourth-and-two and never got that close again. Austin Creasey had one

big play for the Grizzly defence, nabbing an interception. The senior squad hits the road this week, taking

on the Robert Bateman Timberwolves on Friday. The junior Grizzlies visit the Timberwolves on Thursday.

Goal-starved Chilliwack Chiefs drop two at home Chilliwack Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl doesn’t expect his team to light the league on fire offensively. But he does expect them to score more than one goal a game. With six games now in the book, his BCHL club has scored just eight times. They’ve yet to score more than two in a game and Jaret Babych’s four points leads the team in scoring. “We’re going to have

to face the fact that we’re not as gifted as we have been the last few years,” Smyl said. “But we’re also not nearly as bad as it looks right now. Confidence and frustration is an issue, and I really think it will come.” The Chiefs got one goal Saturday night in a 2-1 home ice loss to the Prince George Spruce Kings. Zach Diamantoni got it. “Zach played really

well this weekend, and did some good things,” Smyl said. “His puck protection skills are incredible.” Diamantoni was held off the scoresheet Sunday as the Chiefs fell 5-2 to the Salmon Arm Silverbacks. Ben Butcher and Kurt Black got the goals in that one. Butcher’s was pretty, with the Bellingham native charging down the middle and snapping a feed from Cooper

Rush past Salmon Arm’s Adam Clark. Black’s was a greasy goal as the Winfield native got his stick on a Rush wrister from the point. “We also missed a lot of Grade A opportunities,” Smyl lamented. If there was any positivity from the weekend, it came from improved defensive play. After bleeding shots and goals through the first four games, a tighter Chiefs D kept things

tidy. Sunday’s game was 2-1 late in the third period before Salmon Arm scored two quick ones to put it away. An empty netter made the final score look worse. “Our defensive coverage was much better this weekend — our play without the puck, our positioning and assignments — much better,” Smyl noted. “The little things you need to do as a group, I thought we were much

better at.” Smyl will spend this week looking at a couple players who were healthy scratches Sunday night. Blake Gober and Jacob Hand were both held out of the lineup, eyebrow raising scratches for a team in need of goals. “When you’re battling and doing the types of things you need to do, you want to make sure you’re working hard on a consistent

basis,” Smyl said with a read-between-the-lines explanation. “We didn’t think it was happening with certain guys. We put guys in based on try and effort and we’ll go back to work today and see how the week goes.” October starts with a home-and-home versus Coquitlam, Friday in Coquitlam and Saturday night (7 p.m.) in Chilliwack.

Food fight The British Columbia Hockey League and Five Hole for Food are teaming up to help food banks around the province. Each BCHL community will hold a Five Hole for Food Challenge Night. Chilliwack’s will be Sunday, Dec. 29, carrying on a tradition that is nothing new in this market. The Chiefs have hosted Fill the Rink for the Food Bank nights since coming back to Chilliwack. The only difference this year is that Chiefs fans will be compared to fanbases around the league. “By capitalizing on the natural rivalries that exist between our teams, we hope to generate increasing donations as we proceed to make a real difference in each community,” said BCHL communications director Brent Mutis. Five Hole for Food began its ongoing campaign in 2010.

The Valley Huskers took a beating in BC Football Conference action Saturday, losing 61-0 to the Okanagan Sun in Kelowna. The Huskers struggled again to gain yards, barely topping 100 yards in net offence (124). Ty Derayos carried 11 times for 50 yards to lead the running backs. Quar terback Cody Parray scrambled five times for 48 yards. Parray dropped back to pass 21 times, completing 10 for 63 yards and two interceptions. Kelowna’s Wes Giesler took one of those back 62 yards for a touchdown. The Huskers got close enough to try one long field goal, with kicker Dan Erickson missing from 42 yards out.

The Sun offence cut through the Husker defence for 263 first half yards, taking a 49-0 lead into the break. Kelowna running back Alex Bradley went over the century mark, getting 108 yards on 16 carries. Bradley had three TD runs, and added a fourth on a 100 yard kickoff return. Sun quarterbacks Cam Bedore and Theo Deezar combined to complete nine of 14 passes for 135 yards and three TDs. Deezar had all three touchdown tosses, hooking up with Tommy Howes, Zach Regert and Lerone Robinson. The Sun also got a 33 yard field goal from Thomas Huber. The Huskers (2-6-1) wrap up the regular season at home Saturday afternoon, taking on the Langley Rams at Townsend Park. The Rams beat the Huskers 54-7 Sept. 21 in Langley. Kickoff is 1 p.m. See bcjuniorfootball. ca for more BCFC information.

UNBC net. His effort included several point-blank stops as the Cascades came in waves. UFV won the majority of ball battles and ran uncontested down the wings. R yan Liddiard (Kamloops) and Connor O’Neill (Abbotsford) created several chances with well-placed cornerkicks, but only one ball found its way behind Venhola. Abbotsford’s Justin Sekhon did the damage in the 68th minute. The Timberwolves didn’t panic, equalizing with six minutes left on a tally by Cheona Edzerza (Prince George). “I am pleased we created so many offensive opportunities, but disappointed that we were only able to convert one of our 30 shots into a goal,” said UFV head coach Alan Errington. “Full marks to UNBC for playing hard all night.” ● The UFV women lost 2-0 to the University of Victoria Vikes in a Saturday night road game. The Cascades played a strong first half, sending several shots on net. Langley’s Carley Radomski and Maple Ridge’s Carly Neeson were both thwarted on blue-chip chances. Chilliwack’s Danika Snook and Surrey’s Danica Kump were also dangerous. The Vikes had their own chances around the UFV net, where Burnaby’s Kayla Klim stayed busy. The veteran stopper finished the night with eight saves, but couldn’t stop Lindsay Hoetzel and Jaclyn Sawicki from scoring the Victoria goals. “I thought we were really good in first 35 to 40 minutes, but then broke down late in the first half,” said Cascades coach Rob Giesbrecht. “We struggled in the second half getting back into attacking rhythm, and failed to create quality chances.” Both teams are in action Friday night at Exhibition Stadium, with the women hosting the Calgary Dinos and men hosting the UVic Vikes.
