Veteran feels betrayed by the country he served Katie Bartel The Progress Ed Canuel doesn’t know how he’s going to pay his next heating bill, or make his next mortgage payment. Some days, he doesn’t even know where he’ll find the money for food. The Afghanistan war veteran never once imagined he’d be where he is today. Nearly homeless. He thought the army would have his back, he thought the government would take care of him, he thought he’d be given the tools to successfully transition from military life to civilian life when the time came. Instead, he’s been turned on nearly every step of the way. He’s not the only one. When the New Veterans Charter was enacted in 2006, the disability pension that provided disabled veterans with a monthly pension payable for life was eliminated. Now, injured veterans receive a one-time, lump-sum pay out of their contributions. Despite changes, there remains a growing chorus of complaints about the new charger, According to Guy Parent, Canada’s veterans ombudsman, that system has left some of the country’s most severely injured and disabled veterans in dire straits. A report released last month by Parent’s office, found that more than half of the veterans assessed as “totally and permanently incapacitated” can’t find work and are not awarded impairment benefits. As well, the benefits that are supposed to help veterans transition from a military to civilian career were classified inadequate. Canuel gave 14 years of his life to the army, employed both in the naval reserves and as a cook in the regular forces. He served a sixmonth tour in Afghanistan, worked on war ships, and took on various contracts, including the Vancouver Olympics. But in 2003, Canuel suffered a back injury while on active duty on a naval ship in the Persian Gulf. He’d been carrying an 80-pound box of rations up a ladder as the ship was battling a storm outside. The ship rolled, Canuel held on, and his back popped. “I thought I was strong enough to hold on,” he said. Four vertebrae in the mid-back region shifted, leaving Canuel with a permanent kink. He now has early stages of arthritis and chronic thoracic pain. Continued: CHANGES/ p15
After 14 years of military service, Ed Canuel is facing a new battle. He is fighting for a disability pension and skills retraining, and like many Canadian vets, a change to the New Veterans Charter. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Chances gets its liquor primary licence Jennifer Feinberg The Progress There could be dancing at The Well in Chilliwack Chances before you know it. About a year after the community gaming facility opened, approval for a liquor primary licence and rezoning text amendment for Chances Chilliwack sailed through city hall, as council voted unanimously in favour. In fact, not one member of the public had a word to say against the licence or rezoning applications. It means Chances patrons will now be able to order an alcohol-
ic beverage while playing slots or bingo, in the dining room, as well as in the meeting rooms on the second floor, and the zoning is being adjusted in the OCP to allow for the licensing changes. The vote followed hearings where business people, members of the public, charity representatives, local musicians and the applicant rose to the microphone to offer support for the rezoning and liquor primary licence. “We were just thrilled by the community support,” said Chuck Keeling of Great Canadian Gaming, after the hearing.
What were they expecting from the evening? “After what happened in February, we didn’t want to take anything for granted.” An application from Chilliwack Gaming Ltd./The Well that came forward in February for a permanent change to their licence to add an “entertainment endorsement” failed — again — to get approval from council. But this time there were more than 30 letters in support. Several members and a representative from the Knight Road Legacy Association, the charities who once owned Chilliwack Bingo, were publicly supportive

Unique piece of Canada’s military history unveiled Greg Knill The Progress The road climbs upward through the November mist from the flat of the Sumas Prairie below. Tires spin on the soddened leaves that carpet the narrow path. A sharp turn to the left and then to the right and the road opens on a clearing, framed by odd bits of abandoned machinery. A tank tread lies coiled in the grass. At the centre stands a corrugated metal building two storeys in height. Gord Wozencroft is at the door. There is a slight smile on his face. Wozencroft, president of the Canadian Military Education Centre in Chilliwack, has hinted at a new vehicle he and museum secretary-treasurer Brooke Quam have been working on. Inside, the damp air is heavy with the smell of grease and diesel. The walls are lined with equipment, tools and parts the pair has amassed over the years. But at the centre, in the dim light, stands a 25-ton monster. And it’s alive. Quam wipes the oil from his hands and a smile stretches across his bearded face. “It’s an Achilles Tank Destroyer,” the two say like proud parents. “As far as I know there is nothing like this in Canada, maybe in North America,” says Quam. “As far as I know, this is the only one.” The Achilles’ lineage can be traced to the height of the Second World War. It is variant of the American M10, but equipped with a 17-pounder cannon that remains the most effective anti-tank gun the Allies used during the war. It was prototyped in Montreal, says Quam, and many were built in Canada. That history makes it an important addition to the museum, the two say. They began collecting parts for the Achilles nearly four years ago and spent the last nine months building it. They still hope to have it running in time for the Remembrance Day service at the All Sappers Memorial this Monday. But while the Detroit Diesel engine growls to life when called upon, the transmission is less willing. Finding parts for a Second World War tank is difficult, says Quam. “Either you
Brooke Quam, left, and Gord Wozencroft, both of the Canadian Military Education Centre in Chilliwack, stand next to an Achilles Tank Destroyer. The Second World War vehicle may be the only one of its kind in Canada, maybe North America. GREG KNILL/ PROGRESS
find the parts, or you have to make them.” A piece of the turret mechanism was recently located by Wozencroft and shipped from Bosnia-Herzegovina. Quam and Wozencroft know the challenges of rebuilding rare military machines. The two were responsible for refurbishing
the Sherman tank ‘Caroline’ that was once at the Vedder Road cenotaph. That vehicle is now outside the headquarters of the 39th Combat Engineers in Chilliwack after a brief stay at the Education Centre. The Achilles, once it’s finished, will remain at the centre. “We own it,” the two say.
The museum prides itself on the accessibility of its collection. Visitors are given hands-on exposure to the armoured vehicles that have shaped Canada’s military history. And the Achilles plays a central role in that experience. The vehicle was designed to counter the heavy weight thrown by German armour. Although the Sherman, main battle tank of the Allies, was effective, it lacked the punch to counter the more modern German tanks. The British response was to mount its lethal 17-pound anti-tank gun on a vehicle big enough to carry it, but light enough to retain mobility in the field. Thus was born the Achilles. Canadians trained on it, and used the American M10 (which had a different gun) as they fought their way through Italy. In Europe, following the D-Day invasion in 1944, it was a key piece of equipment as the Allies slugged their way off the beaches of Normandy. Indeed, outside Caen, Canadian and British troops were involved in one of the most successful anti-tank battles of the invasion – 13 German tanks destroyed, to only four Achilles losses. After the war, Quam says, the vehicles were returned to Canada, where they were used for training. When war broke out in Korea, they were shipped there, but exchanged for equipment more suitable to that battlefield. Few returned. That’s why they are so rare in North America today. Quam and Wozencroft are confident their functioning 17-pounder Achilles – with its unique open turret – will be a draw at the museum. They’re still undecided on a name for the vehicle, although research has indicated there was an Achilles in Europe named ‘Chilliwack.’ (They’ve talked about inviting the public to submit suggestions.) The two are hoping technical issues with the transmission can be resolved by Remembrance Day. If so, it will join other vehicles from the museum at the All Sappers Memorial – once they figure out how to get it down off the mountain.

Emergency youth shelter on Chilliwack’s horizon Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack is in dire need of emergency shelter beds for homeless youth. Now it looks like service providers from Abbotsford might be answering the call. Reps from Cyrus Centre plan to offer homeless teens a safe place to stay in Chilliwack by spring of 2014. “Right now from Abbotsford, we offer the only emergency shelter beds available for youth between Metro Vancouver and the Okanagan,” said Les Talvio of Cyrus Centre Abbotsford.
SINCE 1973
LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED
Kids get a meal, and a clean, warm place to sleep, shower or do their laundry. Cyrus officials were approached by local reps earlier this year to make a “community table” presentation explaining what they do and the details of their particular model, to see if it might be appropriate for Chilliwack to replicate. Homeless youth, or those at risk of homelessness, are given temporary stays in the four-bed Cyrus Centre shelter. Within weeks of that initial meeting with Chilliwack reps, Talvio said they were asked about the prospect of
SOFA & LOVESEAT $1250 2PC SET

running a similar youth shelter here. “Our board met to discuss what it would look like, and we decided to go forward and open emergency beds for youth in Chilliwack.” A Chilliwack resident, Talvio says he’s been working with the disenfranchised since his 20s, and is proud of the fact that teens “take ownership” of the space in Abbotsford. “Every single one has a story.” They’re free from exploitation and safe to turn their lives around. Although Cyrus officials
come from a faith background as individuals, they don’t require adherence by the youth. The organization has won diversity awards for their “accepting” environment. “There is no chaplain service. It’s who we are as individuals. We feed them because they are hungry.” The goal of a shelter stay is to help nurture the young people, and help them achieve stability, or even restoring the family, but that’s not always possible, he says.

Bobbi Jacob recognized as a pioneer The Progress Retiring ADTS head Bobbi Jacob spent a lot of her adult life fighting for women’s rights all over the world. She has calmly stood up and protected victims of violence, sometimes going toe to toe with an abuser as part of her work at the Ann Davis Transition Society. “It really is a pleasure to have Bobbi Jacob in our house,� said Mayor Sharon Gaetz on Tuesday. Jacob was being recognized in council chambers for her years of dedicated service to
Chilliwack, as executive director of Ann Davis Transition Society. “Bobbi was one of the pioneers,� Gaetz said, later adding that Jacob, in her work raising awareness about domestic abuse has “taught people well� and left a legacy for others to follow. The mayor acknowledged how the transition society members were first greeted with skepticism when Jacob started building and revitalizing the ADTS operation 18 years ago. “Today people wouldn’t think twice about supporting this work,� she said.

An elementary school in Aldergrove has banned kindergarten students from touching each other. Langley School District has banned Kindergarten students at Coghlan Fundamental Elementary from all forms of hands-on play. That means children are not allowed to play tag, or hold hands, even in the form of a walking school bus, or during imaginary play, such as fake fighting games. The ban only affects kindergarten kids. How does the school intend to enforce this ban? Send every boy to the principal’s office? Actually, yes. A letter home to parents says the school is going to have a “zero-tolerance policy with regards to hands-on play, resulting in the missing of playtime and trips to the office for those who are unable to follow the rules.” The decision to temporarily ban hands-on play stemmed from concerns made by some parents about rough play on the playground. Apparently, some kids were getting hurt. “Appropriate play means you can’t grab a kid by his hoodie and pull him to the ground when you are playing tag,” said Langley School District spokesperson Ken Hoff. “Star Wars” imaginary play was also particularly troublesome. High fives and fist bumps probably injured a few hands, too. Imagine if the kids were playing knuckles or slap, or giving each other wrist burns. What would happen if a girl kicked a boy in the shin? A ban on hands-on contact for six-year-olds is a bit ridiculous. If the kindergarten students at Coghlan Fundamental start saying bad words to each other next, will the district ban talking? Eye contact? If one or two or more boys are causing a little trouble, deal with them individually, speak to their parents, explain and model appropriate behaviour, as well as consequences. To put in place an almost unenforceable rule on all students shows poor judgement on the part of adults in charge of teaching young children about such skills. ~ Black Press

Help the hospital and get a flu shot this year VICTORIA – I got my influenza shot this week, paid for out of pocket since I don’t qualify for any of the higher-risk groups provided with free immunization. A reminder to take this simple health precaution came in October when a labour arbitrator ruled that it is a reasonable employment requirement for health care workers to either get the current immunization or mask up in patient care areas. Quiet advocacy by Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall has paid off. Staff, doctors, outside contractors and visitors will have to put patients first. Health care unions pressed a grievance on behalf of members who insist they have a right to refuse immunization and increase exposure to patients. They have apparently run up the white flag. “We will be telling our members to comply with the new
policy, or risk being fired,” said an overly dramatic Val Avery, president of the Health Sciences Association. HSA lawyers led the grievance, supported by the Hospital Employees’ Union and the B.C. Nurses’ Union. Avery said the union will continue to urge its members to take advanTom tage of on-site flu FLETCHER shot clinics. That’s right, like most provincial employees, they all get immunization that is not only free but administered at work. Kendall announced the regulation last year, after finding that 40 per cent of employees in longterm care were not getting the current influenza vaccine, and the rate of immunization was declin-
ing. Their objections make no sense. Aside from the self-serving “rights” argument, they complain that the annual flu vaccine isn’t effective enough. The formula is developed by international effort to track the dominant strains that emerge as winter rolls around the world. Kendall says a poor match results in about 40 per cent immunity, and a good match reaches 90 per cent. At the risk of stating the obvious, he notes that even 40 per cent is better than nothing. After two weeks of expert testimony, arbitrator Robert Diebolt, a retired UBC law professor, wrote as follows: “It is indisputable that influenza can be a serious, even fatal, disease. Immunization also indisputably provides a measure of protection to health care workers and I have found that their
www.theprogress.com ContactUs: w

Progress
immunization reduces influenza transmission to patients. “I have also concluded that there is a real and serious patient safety issue and the policy is a helpful program to reduce patient risk.” The B.C. Centre for Disease Control calculates that if all health care workers would get immunized, the risk to patients would be reduced nearly 50 per cent. The Ministry of Health warns: “you can spread influenza for 24 hours before you have any symptoms.” What would cause educated health care workers to defy common sense? A hint is provided by professional union promoter and publicist Bill Tieleman, who railed about the decision on his blog. This regulation is inspired by big bad U.S. health care corporations that would rather impose immunization than pay for sick
days, Tieleman asserts. Ah, so an infected health care employee should wander the wards until symptoms emerge, and then go home for a few days of paid rest. What a perfectly stupid idea! Last week BCNU president Debra McPherson was warning about “chaos” at the new Surrey Memorial emergency ward, her latest of a career of media protests. The big new facility is already overflowing, and more beds and more staff are needed, stat! Perhaps if better preventive measures were taken by nurses, doctors and other staff, this chronic “chaos” would be reduced and these unions would have more credibility.

Blame Liberals for tight school budgets I was very interested to read the thoughts of our candidates for the upcoming school trustee byelection. (Trustee hopeful discuss ‘key issue’ facing district, Chilliwack Progress, Oct. 31) This seems a diverse and reasonably well-informed group. I have to admit to being just a little taken aback by Mr. Besler’s comments, as they were centred entirely on the budget. While budgeting is an important consideration, it must be pointed out that we are talking about something inestimably valuable in this instance: the education of children. In fact, Mr. Besler is the only candidate who focused entirely on the budget, with absolutely no mention of class sizes, completion rates, literacy, etc. Surely those matters concern him? Isn’t that why he’s running for the position of trustee? It’s a little bothersome that Mr. Besler doesn’t seem to grasp the connection between school district budgets and the provincial government he so aggressively supported in the May election (together with his campaign manager and most of those endorsing his “non-partisan” campaign). If Mr. Besler’s primary concern is that the school district balance the budget, then why is he not at all concerned about the fact that the provincial government has repeatedly downloaded costs to the districts and then, turned around and
punished them for not meeting their budgets? Last year, they even had the bald-faced cheek to fire every elected trustee in Cowichan, replacing them with one trustee (appointed by the education minister). Since that time, six elementary schools in Cowichan have closed and middle schools are now being eyed. What is genuinely odd, though, is that the provincial government doesn’t hold itself to the same standards. In fact, since 2009, the provincial government has quite blithely amended balanced budget legislation to accommodate its own excesses. At the same time, drilling credits owed to resource companies remain unrecorded (contrary to standard accounting practices), hiding massive debt, not unlike the case of the Hydro deferral accounts. It’s possible to move numbers about in creative ways, but it’s not possible to run from the inevitability of what has been wrought in our name and for which institutions like education and health are now being summarily fingered as responsible for. When a government, in order to reward political donors, chokes off revenues by cutting taxes and deferring fees to those same donors, it has abandoned key public edifices and left them to starve. Perhaps that is the layer of “budgeting” Mr. Besler should properly direct his attention to.
Still waiting for response to Cohen Commission Your informative article about the Cohen Commission Report, just shows the need for closed containment fish farms and the lack of political concern for our precious fishery. The big advantages of closed containment is easier to regulate water temperature and of course, stop the spread of Sea Lice. It’s hard to understand where the political lobby or lack of comes from when it comes to protecting our fishery. The governments of the day, just don’t want to spend anything, assuming that commercial, sport, and native fishers will police themselves. This is obviously not happening. Once again, we give away precious resource just because we are either too lazy or too stupid to do anything about it. Here we are doling out millions of dollars enhancing the fishery, then turn our backs on it. When you consider its actual dollar value, it really makes you wonder, what are they thinking, or are they? Art Green, Hope, BC

While speaking in the familiarly vague generalities of “budgets” and “service delivery” (which have the widespread affect of dazzling those who aren’t paying attention), Mr. Besler fails to mention the millions of dollars being extracted from school districts in carbon offsets, payable to the Pacific Carbon Trust. If he is going to talk about budgets, efficiencies and effectiveness, perhaps the PCT should be his first target. While I’m well aware of the rather paltry fund created by the provincial government to mitigate its looting of public education for the sake of the PCT, I am not at all moved. The fund is not evenly or even coherently applied. The Pacific Carbon Trust, now with a $30 million surplus, could very easily be called upon to release those funds to schools in need of retrofits. So why doesn’t that happen? Are the “needs” of Encana and company more pressing than those of our students? Maybe if Mr. Besler wants to make things better for students in School District 33, he should do what many of us are already doing: demand that this government create conditions in which students have a chance to succeed by providing adequate funds for school district budgets to start with. Jennifer Woodroff Chilliwack
Support for trustee candidate I support Ben Besler in his campaign for school board trustee. Ben and I worked together developing and presenting a proposal for the Chilliwack school district budget in 2012, with emphasis on special education. Throughout the lengthy process, Ben showed a strong desire to advocate for and improve the quality of the educational experience for students. As we met with individuals in the school district and other parents, he was keen to learn and develop a clear understanding of the needs of those involved. Ben is determined, persistent and hard working. I feel his prime focus is studentcentered while, at the same time, he would work with the school system as a whole to make the best decisions possible.

Clark, Redford find common pipeline ground

PANAMA CRUISE, 11 NIGHTS, JAN 30, 2014
Premier Christy Clark met Alberta Premier Alison Redford in Vancouver Thursday to announce what they are calling a “framework agreement” for heavy oil pipeline expansion to the West Coast. Alberta agrees to support B.C.’s demand for a revenue share from the oil production and export, as long as it doesn’t come from Alberta’s resource royalties. B.C. agrees to support Alberta’s call for a national energy strategy, Clark and Redford said Tuesday. “Alberta has reached a broader understanding and acceptance of British Columbia’s five conditions, and our province had agreed to join the Canadian Energy Strategy discussions started by Premier Redford,” Clark told reporters at an energy conference in Vancouver. In previous meetings, Redford has been adamant that none of Alberta’s resource royalties from oilsands crude will be shared. B.C. has argued that the oil producers and the federal government have to find a solution to the conditions for approval laid down by Clark. Redford said her proposed national strategy is to address interprovincial projects such as pipelines, recognizing that energy is provincial jurisdiction. “We don’t think this is about quid pro quo or gotcha politics,” Redford said. “This is about putting in place economic models that are going to work for Canada, for each of our economies, and allow for product to move.” Clark said she is pleased that Redford accepted her conditions, and the assurance she gave at their June meeting in Kelowna that B.C. isn’t after Alberta’s resource royalties. B.C. makes substantial royalties from natural gas and hopes to increase that substantially with exports, Clark said.

NDP leader Adrian Dix contrasted Tuesday’s statements with Clark’s position before the May election, where the government told the federal review panel on the Enbridge Nor thern Gateway pipeline proposal it was opposed. NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert said B.C. has also changed its position to say oil shipments are “going to happen, whether by train or by pipeline.” Redford visited B.C. to give a keynote speech to an energy forum hosted by the Vancouver Board of Trade. The sold-out event included a panel discussion with Redford and Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson, whose company is proposing to expand its Trans Mountain pipeline from Alberta to its Burnaby marine terminal and refineries in Burnaby and Washington. Anderson was asked by Black Press how his company would respond if B.C. proposes a specific tax or toll on each barrel of oil shipped through the twinned Trans Mountain pipeline. “I think it’s far too early to be talking about those kinds of concepts,” Anderson said. “We’re looking to define and deliver the benefits from our project directly to communities in British Columbia. The extent to which the B.C. government evaluates those, they’ll do so on their own accord and they’ll call me if they need to.” A federal review panel is preparing to make recommendations on Enbridge’s Nor thern Gateway pipeline proposed to run from Alberta to a new marine terminal at Kitimat.

They expect all Cyrus annual operating funds to be raised within the community in advance, and the budget will be determined by the site they eventually choose for the shelter. If they do successfully set up a shelter operation for youth here, it will have been by specific request from those who work with homeless youth in the community, he said.

another infusion of extra money to meet patient demand. The Fraser region population has grown by 1.3 per cent a year over the past three years and the authority has received budget increases averaging six per cent a year – more than the 4.8 per cent average for other health regions. Despite that, Fraser went one per cent over budget last year – the third year in a row it’s failed to stay within its allocation.

including the case of a 90-year-old blind woman sent home after midnight via taxi from Delta Hospital. Lake said the review won’t examine such incidents and he denied claims the system is in chaos, calling hospital congestion nothing new. Fraser is the province’s fastest growing health region, with a large number of older residents who are expected to put great demand on health budgets in the years ahead. Lake said the review doesn’t mean he wants service cuts but a wide search for solutions, including how spending is balanced between acute care in hospitals versus preventative primary care that can keep people healthier and
avoid admissions. “The answer to every problem is not more money,” he said. One option to be examined is a possible boundary change for the health region. The Fraser and Vancouver Coastal health authorities already jointly procure many services and supplies in an effort to control costs, but Lake hinted more might come. “Does it make sense to have the boundary where it is?” Lake asked, noting there have been no changes since the health authorities were set up 12 years ago. Fraser Health’s board will submit a new three-year plan next spring to start in the 2014-15 fiscal year and will also submit a revised
version of this year’s fiscal plan to address the expected overrun. Lake will appoint officials from his own ministry, the finance ministry and various health regions to the strategic review committee to work with Fraser Health in examining its current operations and identifying priority areas for action by next May. The new three-year plan is to identify service targets, operational and financial objectives and outline how Fraser Health’s programming and structure can help achieve them. NDP health critic Judy Darcy said Fraser Health has run with too few beds and staff for years, creating systemic problems and routinely overflowing ERs.

Second World War and Korean War veterans. They all fought for the same country. “My story is not about me being a cook, or hurt on ship, but a story of a veteran, thrown away like trash after being injured by his employer,” he said. “I’ve been given no support financially,
For nine years Canuel worked through the pain, remedying it through pain meds and sleeping pills prescribed by the hospital at CFB Esquimalt. But in September 2012, the reserves placed him on permanent medical category – making him “no longer employable.” And for over a year, Canuel has been fighting a new battle. He wants a proper pension and skills retraining, something he feels he’s entitled to, but keeps getting denied. His skills as a cook are not transferable due to his injury, yet the only assistance he’s been provided with is help writing a resume and a coverletter. He doesn’t qualify for vocational retraining. “I cannot cook on a civilian job site, I physically can’t do it, the hours are long, I can’t live on the pay, there’s no benefits,” said Canuel. “This government believes the private sector will find jobs for veterans. I’ve never heard of a private job you can walk up to and say, ‘I’m an injured veteran with back problems, will you hire me?’ “They won’t hire you. Only government jobs and union jobs accommodate people with injuries.” Canuel’s been working three jobs trying to make ends meet, but still walks a financial tight rope every month, pushing one bill to pay another, dipping into his overdraft and racking up credit cards bills. His debt, including a mortgage, is based on the $60,000 to $70,000 income he made while working full-time in the army, not the $13 an hour jobs he’s currently working. “If things continue the way they’re going, I don’t know what my future holds,” he said. “I’m worried about becoming homeless.” Last week, Canuel sought help from the Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Fund. The organization’s generosity – a cheque worth $3,000 – shook him. “The Royal Canadian Legion, for the first time in over a year, is the only organization that’s helped me in this entire process,” said Canuel, tears filling his eyes.
“The military system, the medical system out of CFB Esquimalt, my case manager, nobody has helped me. “This whole thing has been a nightmare, an absolute nightmare.” Canuel doesn’t understand why Afghanistan war veterans are treated any differently than

In our mid 60s, questions swirled in our heads: “Do we have the energy to do this every day? Financially, what will this mean now and in the future? What help can we get to support our grandchild with all this change and trauma? Should we be considering custody and guardianship, perhaps adoption?� All went unanswered. And then more questions: “What about our trip to Arizona with our retired friends? What about parent-teacher meetings and homework supervision? What about bedtime routines and swimming lessons and sleepovers – those activities that tired us out when we were in our 30s and 40s, never mind in our 60s?� Thankfully, the Social Worker steered us to the Raising Relative Children support group run by Chilliwack Community Services. What a life saver! We found a place where people understood what we were going through. We learned grandparents raising grandchildren is the fastest growing family constellation in Canada.

REMEMBRANCE DAY NOVEMBER 11, 2013
When we give our lives in the name of
Inventory of wars in contemporary history Remembrance Day is an opportunity to reflect on the sacrifices that today’s soldiers make and on the sacrifices of all those who preceded them.
The deadliest war: The Great War of 1914-1918 is the greatest drama known to Europe in terms of the number of deaths. The totalitarian regimes of the twentieth century and the Second World War are the direct consequences of this war. But it was the Second World War that was the deadliest, with more than 55 million deaths, of which 30 million were civilian. The most remembered war: This is the Second World War because of the atom bombs dropped on Japan and because it left its mark on three generations. Fortunately, those who remember it also remember the slogan “No more war!”
In honour of those who saved the world
The bloodiest battle in Canadian history: The Battle of the Somme took place from July 1 to the end of November, 1916. On the first day of this battle, the 1st Newfoundland Regiment was virtually annihilated in the village of Beaumont. Machine guns, barbed wire, trenches, and massive artillery shelling resulted in ferocious fighting marked by heavy losses. Some 24,713 Canadians and Newfoundlanders died in the battle. The largest naval battle: The greatest naval concentration of contemporary history was deployed in the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean area on September 21, 2007. This unprecedented demonstration of power by the United States against Iran included three aircraft carriers supported by about 40 escort vessels and nearly 100 aircraft.
Red and white poppies
Canadian pacifist groups are working together to spread the tradition of the white poppy from England to Canada.
Wearing a red poppy for Remembrance Day on November 11 has been a tradition in this country for 90 years now. The white poppy, dating from 1933, has recently resurfaced, however. It is a way to remember the civilian victims of war. The two complement each other: the red for those who died for their country, the white for the hope of peace. Did you know that behind these poppy campaigns, both past and present, are some very committed women? The adoption of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance has international origins. The first person to use it in this way was Mrs. Moina Michael, a staff member of the American Overseas YMCA, during the last year of the First World War. In April 1920 she led a stirring campaign to have the poppy recognized as the official symbol of remembrance by the American Legion. At the same time, Mrs. Anna Guérin, from France, became an ardent defender of the poppy as the symbol that would help all citizens remember those who died in the war. The efforts of these two ladies were not in vain. The first “poppy day” was held on November 11, 1921, in France as well as in Commonwealth countries. Ninety years later, the poppy is still a reminder to us all. But we mustn’t forget that on November 11, 1933, the Women’s Cooperative Guild in the United Kingdom launched the white poppy campaign, symbolizing the will to work towards creating a world without violence, to resolve conflicts peacefully, and to remember civilian victims of war.
In life one man can seldom see His impact in society Our soldiers Àght to blinded eyes To allow us all to live our lives Taking up arms against a foe To save us from the pain they know To give us all out liberty They bear the brunt of misery No greater duty can one bear An act of courage few would dare Endless sacriÀces for 4 years Keeping back our greatest fears November 11th is a day of love To remember those now up above Men and women far too great To be remembered upon one date No words bring justice to their Àght But I will try with all my might To bring them honour for the days They fought to alay such evil ways No act of love could be so grand As one brave soldier’s Ànal stand So now I will say at last We must remember what has past Those who have died and those who live And all the thanks to them we give They are all those who meet the call Preserving good for one and all So on this day I ask you pray For heroes of our memory Thank for your sacriÀce It was this act that gave us life.

New Vimy Education Centre The Vimy Foundation and EF Educational Tours announce investment in new Vimy Education Centre ‘Give a VIMY for Vimy’ initiative will support new Vimy Education Centre project
Minister of Veterans Affairs Julian Fantino, the Vimy Foundation and EF Educational Tours today launched the Give a’ VIMY’ for Vimy Campaign at the Canadian War Museum, marking the first official day of Veterans’ Week 2013. The campaign is a national initiative to raise awareness for the upcoming Vimy centennial in 2017, encouraging Canadians to contribute $20 (a ‘VIMY’) towards the cost of a new Education Centre project at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France. Donations can be made atwww.vimyfoundation.ca “The ‘Give a VIMY for Vimy’ campaign will engage Canadians from coast to coast, helping to ignite pride and support for this important legacy project - the building of a new Vimy Education Centre. The work of the Vimy Foundation continues to ensure that the Vimy legacy of national unity, sacrifice, innovation, and victory are never lost and we look forward to building momentum with Canadians, towards the centennial in 2017,” said Christopher Sweeney, Chair of the Vimy
2017 Committee. EF Educational Tours is the first multiyear supporter of the Centre, kickstarting the private sector efforts with an initial $100,000 contribution. The announcement included comments from students from John McCrae Secondary School in Ottawa who have travelled to Vimy Ridge with EF as part of their studies. “We are excited to have a leadership role in the new Education Centre at Vimy,” said David Conklin, President of EF Educational Tours in Canada. “It will be a great enhancement to the Vimy site, complementing the deeper educational understanding being experienced by the students who travel with us to Vimy.”
will involve schools in the fundraising efforts to leave their own legacy for future generations. Working with the Vimy Foundation and Veterans Affairs Canada, EF will be integral in involving students in ceremonies and events leading up to the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Vimy Ridge in April 2017. “I commend the Vimy Foundation for its tireless work inspiring the nation to learn through remembrance, and EF Educational Tours for their incredible support to the cause,” stated Minister Fantino. “Our Government is proud to be working to build a permanent Visitor Education Centre at the Canadian National Vimy Memorial in France, ensuring Canada’s First World War legacy is never forgotten.”
As the official student travel services provider to the Vimy Foundation, EF brings thousands of students to Vimy Ridge each year, including 4,000 who commemorated the 95th anniversary of the battle in April 2012. The road to Vimy 2017 will see many more Canadian students making the pilgrimage to France, bringing their textbooks to life and experiencing Canadian history firsthand.
The Vimy Foundation is encouraging all Canadians to refer to this denomination as a ‘Vimy’ in time for the centennial in 2017. Canadians including Rick Mercer, Paul Gross, Don Cherry, former Bank of Canada Governor Mark Carney as well as more than 35 federal and provincial political representatives have already lent their name in support of the campaign.
This first $100,000 recognizes the students who travelled with EF to Vimy in 2013 and who will travel in 2014. EF
The Vimy Foundation was formed in 2006 with the mandate to preserve and promote Canada’s First World War leg-

visit a war memorial? Make the most of this moment to teach the younger generation about the importance of honouring those who sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today. This is also a marvellous opportunity to teach your children more about the work carried out by historical societies in communities across the country. Indeed, it is these societies who often help to pass on this heritage to those Canadians willing to listen. Your local historical society will be able to share literature and maybe even personal stories about the people from your town who went away to fight. The Canadian government has developed programs to ensure that the cenotaphs and other monuments erected to the memory of those who lost their lives are maintained in an appropriate manner and that military events THANK YOU comprise all the suitable pomp cerFOR YOUR emony.

Of course, this custom does not often include the general public, but it is still possible to perpetuate this tradition in a tangible way by visiting one of the war memorials in your area. There are more than 6,600 memorials across Canada commemorating veterans and those who lost their lives. On November 11, Remembrance Day, why not take your family to a park or cemetery to

REMEMBRANCE DAY NOVEMBER 11, 2013 “In Flanders Fields” In Flanders Fields the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. To this day McCrae’s poem remains among the most memorable war poems ever written. It also paved the way for the poppy flower to be one of the most recognized symbols of wartime remembrance. Thousands of poppies are placed on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, and Remembrance Day participants wear poppies on their lapels.

Phaydra Gagnon is Undine and Bethany Gasser is the Sea Witch in UFV’s production of The Little Mermaid. SUBMITTED PHOTO
Flights of fancy with UFV’s Little Mermaid Little Mermaid, by Hans Christian Andersen, one of Denmark’s greatest writers, is adapted into an imaginative stage production by British playwright Pam Gems. Audiences can submerge themselves into the story of a young mermaid who, after falling in love with a human prince, makes a courageous, but ultimately heart-
breaking bargain with a sea witch. The Little Mermaid is directed by Colleen Lanki, UFV sessional instructor and Artistic Director of TomoeArts in Vancouver. Colleen has worked in Japan, the US and Canada, directing, choreographing, and performing everything from experimental movement theatre to musical comedy. The Little Mermaid features a cast of 20 stu-
dent actors in roles such as mermaids, a sea witch, a prince, and a colourful array of sea creatures. The production also depends on the work of 20 students working in backstage roles who are gaining insight into the collaborative and technical skills involved in creating quality theatre. While this magical play is suitable for children aged six years and older, theatre lovers will rediscover the darkness of Andersen’s original tale. As Pam Gems writes,

eye catching and solid on the road. The base engine is a 2.0L 4-cylinder with 155hp, thanks to direct injection. The larger 2.5L engine puts out a healthy 184hp. It is the interior buyers will care most about, and the Mazda3 is a nice surprise, due to class leading available options and a high level of finish. Starting at $15,995 and running up to $29,895, there is a Mazda3 for all budgets. 2014 Toyota Corolla Continuing with the compact car theme, the Toyota Corolla is the third best selling car in Canada but Toyota believes this new model can take the overall sales crown away from the Honda Civic. This new 2014 model is made, and partly designed, right here in Canada with our needs in mind. The Corolla now has a longer wheelbase for amazing interior space, especially in the back seat. The dash is wide and flat for ample room and covered in nice looking and feeling materials, plus there is an available centre screen to use for the radio and backup camera. Powering the 2014 Corolla is the same 132hp 1.8L engine from the last model, with one exception. The LE Eco model has a modified valve system to improve fuel economy and pump the power to 140hp. The biggest change is the introduction of a continuously variable transmission for a greater range of gears, improved economy, and a smooth drive. 2014 Volkswagen Golf This new Golf will be made in Mexico along side the Beetle and Jetta sedan and will go on sale in the spring of 2014. It is wider and longer than the last Golf but also significantly lighter and safer. The base engine will be a new turbocharged 1.8L engine with 170hp but don’t worry the TDI diesel is carried over. The sportier GTI trim is fantastic, with an estimated 225hp, in the Canadian Model, thanks to a new 2.0L turbo engine. The interior materials used inside are almost Audi quality. No price yet but building these new cars inside the NAFTA zone will save money and that will be reflected in the price. 2014 Jeep Cherokee The Cherokee is back and it looks nothing like the boxy truck of old. In fact, this new, small SUV is based on the same Alfa Romeo platform used in the Dodge Dart. It is smooth continued on page 32

some monumental changes this year. What an improvement over last year with a very comfortable and refined interior on all trim levels, and three engine choices, the Eco Tec 4.3L V6, 5.3l v8, and the 6.2l V8. With so many changes and enhancements to this vehicle you will really have to wait for my full review on this vehicle in the coming weeks to get the complete picture. 2014 Ford F150 Ecoboost. With more than 100,000 Eco Boost engines produced monthly, you can bet a majority of these engines are finding their way into the 2014 F150 pickup. This truck holds the record in Canada for highest pickup sales, and at 12.9/9.0 L/100 km (city/highway) it keeps the money in your wallet a little longer. 2014 RAM 1500 EcoDiesel. This is a much-anticipated truck from RAM and is one I am anxious to see. With a 3.0 L V6 Diesel engine with a torqueflite eight speed transmission. Not only will it give you 420 pound feet of torque and plenty of towing capabilities, it will also reduce co2 emissions and run on B20 Biodiesel. It’s a game changer. 2014 Toyota Tundra. New body style this year, impressive hood and fender design. Toyota has also included a Western themed truck called 1794 Edition, which happens to be the founding year of a Texas ranch where the Tundra plant is now situated. This truck’s interior is covered with Saddle tan brown leather seats and rich maple wood grain panels throughout. The Tundra is powered by a 4.6 Litre or a 5.7 Litre engine. Can it compete with the big boys? – This is the year to see. 2014 RAM ProMaster. After a long run with the Dodge full-size RAM van there was a void in the marketplace for a spacious cargo van, a void that was quickly gobbled up by Mercedes Sprinter, and the Nissan NV. Based on the Fiat Ducato, this van has some RAM branding of its own and is available in a wide range of wheelbase options and two roof heights. Engine choices will be the Penastar 3.6 Litre V6 or the turbocharged 3.0 litre EcoDiesel four cylinder engine. There is plenty of excitement around this vehicle. If you want to talk trucks or chat about what might make your truck ‘purty’, please drop me a line. I would also like to see pictures of what you have done to your truck in the way of customization. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.

and quiet and a pleasure to drive. The Cherokee is also the first vehicle in the world to be equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission. The base engine is a 2.4L 4-cylinder with 184hp or the optional 3.2L V6 with 271hp, for just $1,300 more, offering good value. Not to worry Jeep fans, this new Cherokee is available with three AWD systems. 2014 Nissan Rogue You might notice a trend with my 2014 model choices are all compact cars or compact SUVs. This is the direction Canadians are heading when it comes to buying a new vehicle. With this in mind Nissan has an all-new Rogue compact SUV with enough room inside for three rows of seats and room for 7-passengers. This is practical for people who require extra capacity but don’t want to buy a bigger or more expensive mid-sized or larger SUV. Under the hood is a 2.5L 4-cylinder used in other Nissan products and is matched to a new continually variable transmission featuring more available ratios and reduced friction. The interior is very well executed, with a dash that looks similar to the bigger Pathfinder. Goes on sale just before Christmas. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

because you’re having so much fun behind the wheel. Mazda3 Sport- starts at $15,995 For the 2014 model year, Mazda completely overhauls their number-one selling sedan and hatchback: the 3. Expect more mature styling, a driver-focussed cabin and a host of technological gadgetry that makes staying “connected” behind the wheel more user friendly. Of course, without trying to take away focus from the act of driving. Among its tweaked features, you’ll find brand new interior and exterior styling along
engine of the Fiesta ST, you’ll probably turn your head. Yes, it’s a subcompact but it doesn’t feel like it when you’re working through the gears of the 6-speed manual transmission. Ford’s newest mini powerhouse comes with a whopping 197 horsepower and 202 lb-ft of torque. It’s the same engine paired with the Focus ST, but in a smaller packaged. Its sport infused suspension, gearbox, phenomenal handling and host of creature comforts sound good to you, it’s even better to drive. You just might make your friends green with envy

There’s the 2.0L, 4-cylinder SKYACTIV engine with a 6-speed manual transmission or an available 6-speed automatic transmission- available on either the base GX or mid-grade GS models. It produces 155 horsepower and 150 lb-ft of torque. Then there’s a 2.5L, 4-cylinder SKYACTIV engine for the GT trim, which only comes with a 6-speed automatic. It generates a healthy 184 horsepow-

Drives-U-Crazy Intersection Idiots A myth abounds among self-righteous, over-cautious drivers that only one left-turning car at a time is permitted to enter an intersection on a green light. Those who adhere to this unwritten ‘rule’ annoy those behind and hold up the flow of traffic. It is especially annoying when so many larger BC centres have intersections large enough to accommodate two and often three vehicles. What drives-u-crazy. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

complete overhaul for 2014, you could say the Japanese manufacturer has added some jam on top to make it sweeter. New styling on the inside and out makes it more desirable to the eyes. It’s still not as exciting as most of its competitors but the 1.8L, 4-cyinder does a bang up job of delivering 132 horsepower and 128 lb-ft of torque. Kia Soul- starts at $16,995 Kia’s box-mobile continues to deliver strong sales despite angularly-shaped vehicles becoming a trend of the past. Why? Because it has personality. Describing it in one word, I’d say it’s funky. And now, the all-new soul is built on a bigger platform, increasing legroom up front and in the rear. It’s also quieter on the road when revving its 1.6L, 4-cylinder engine. There’s also a 2.0L 4-cylinder available with 164 horsepower and 151 lb-ft of torque.

er and 185 lb-ft of torque. 2014 Fiat 500L- starts at $19,995 For Fiat fans, if the 500 was too small, here’s your answer: the 500L. The longer wheelbase cutie is more practical than the pint-sized version and has more room. And two more doors! Powering it is a 1.4L, 4-cylinder, MultiAir turbo engine that pumps out 160 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque. Since it’s a bigger car, it feels bigger to drive. But visibility isn’t compromised and there are a couple of great gearboxes to choose from: a 6-speed manual or a 6-speed Euro Twin Clutch automatic transmission. Toyota Corolla- starts at $15,995 No, you’re not reading that wrong. I did include the 2014 Toyota Corolla on my list.

A vehicle doesn’t have to be exorbitantly expensive, have mega horsepower or a fancy Italian badge on it to be fun to drive. In fact, a lot of people seem to agree with that statement too since there are a few pocket rockets available on the market that might not compete for the top power specs, but can certainly get the party started.

More than 3,600 homes were left without power this morning and Chilliwack Central Road remained closed Tuesday afternoon after a single vehicle accident knocked out a power pole. Early T uesday morning, a transport truck and trailer side slipped onto the shoulder and then into a ditch. It grazed a power pole on its way, with just enough impact to knock out service. Power blinked off at 4:07 a.m. and was restored by 6:45 a.m. The truck was the only vehicle on the road, and it sustained minor damage. The driver was the only person in the truck, coming away with a bruised shoulder.

including the case of a 90-year-old blind woman sent home after midnight via taxi from Delta Hospital. Lake said the review won’t examine such incidents and he denied claims the system is in chaos, calling hospital congestion nothing new. Fraser is the province’s fastest growing health region, with a large number of older residents who are expected to put great demand on health budgets in the years ahead. Lake said the review doesn’t mean he wants service cuts but a wide search for solutions, including how spending is balanced between acute care in hospitals versus preventative primary care that can keep people healthier and
avoid admissions. “The answer to every problem is not more money,” he said. One option to be examined is a possible boundary change for the health region. The Fraser and Vancouver Coastal health authorities already jointly procure many services and supplies in an effort to control costs, but Lake hinted more might come. “Does it make sense to have the boundary where it is?” Lake asked, noting there have been no changes since the health authorities were set up 12 years ago. Fraser Health’s board will submit a new three-year plan next spring to start in the 2014-15 fiscal year and will also submit a revised
version of this year’s fiscal plan to address the expected overrun. Lake will appoint officials from his own ministry, the finance ministry and various health regions to the strategic review committee to work with Fraser Health in examining its current operations and identifying priority areas for action by next May. The new three-year plan is to identify service targets, operational and financial objectives and outline how Fraser Health’s programming and structure can help achieve them. NDP health critic Judy Darcy said Fraser Health has run with too few beds and staff for years, creating systemic problems and routinely overflowing ERs.

Health minister orders probe of budget-busting Fraser Health Jeff Nagel Black Press Health Minister Terry Lake has ordered a strategic and operational review of Fraser Health to help contain rising costs and deal with persistent hospital congestion. The health region is B.C.’s largest – it consumes $3 billion a year on behalf of 1.6 million residents – but it’s running over budget once again this year and Lake said it will require

GW Graham’s Fay Davidson evades defenders during a recent senior girls high school field hockey game. Davidson and company are at AA provincials in West Vancouver this week. SUBMITTED PHOTO
Graham girls gunning for AA banner GW Graham’s senior girls field hockey squad is gunning for a provincial title this week. The team traveled to West Vancouver yesterday, and they’re making their third straight appearance in the year-end AA tournament. Games will be played at the Ambleside and Rutledge fields. GWG will play pool games against South Okanagan, Shawnigan Lake and Little Flower Academy (Vancouver). The Grizzly girls are coming
off a breakthrough performance at Fraser Valleys, winning that tournament for the first time. The final game pitted them against North Delta. GWG won 4-1. Jayden Lane scored her first ever goal to open the scoring, and Karyssa Boyle sniped one last in the first half to give GWG a 2-0 lead. After North Delta scored to cut the Grizzly lead in half, Hannah Ingham tallied twice to put the game away.
Jessica Richardson was a rock in goal, though she didn’t see much action behind the airtight defence of Maddi McManus, Abby Martens, Meghan Bradshaw and Lauren Clift. The team’s midfielders are Lane, Fay Davidson, Zoey Martens, Megan Muir and Nerisse Cranmore. The team’s forwards are Ingham, Boyle, Larissa Traas, Jenika Bannerman, Taegan Ackland-Gaetz, Haley Dekker, and Malina Amyotte-Kilger.

Some good news in the trio of Chilliwack Chiefs losses last weekend w eekend was Austin Plevy’s performance in Sunday’s 8-5 loss to Alberni A lberni Valley. Plevy scored three times in the game to increase his season goal total to five. Plevy did this despite being a late addition to the lineup. He’d missed the previous night’s game in Merritt with an undisclosed injury and was not expected to play Sunday. The Chiefs face off against the Surrey Eagles twice this weekend, w eekend, Friday in Surrey and Saturday at Prospera Centre. The T he Chiefs won the lone meeting between the two teams this season, 4-3 a few weeks ago in Chilliwack. It’s still too early in the season to call these games must- wins but the importance of them is obvious. The top four teams in the division will make the playoffs. The Eagles currently hold down the fourth spot, six points ahead of the fifth place Chiefs. Both teams have played 20 games. The T he Chiefs could be 10 points out of a playoff spot 22 games into the season or they could be two points out and right in the thick of the race. That’s a big difference, so yes these two games are very important. We’re a little more than a third of the way through the season and the Mainland division is still tough to gauge. Two teams, Langley and Prince George have separated themselves a bit from the rest of the pack. Prior to the season, the Langley Rivermen were the favorites to finish first and they

lead the division with 28 points. Remarkably, five of their 13 wins have come in overtime. Seven of Langley’s 20 games have needed more than 60 minutes to decide. The Prince George Spruce Kings are a solid team, especially y defensively, and are just three points behind the Rivermen. The other three teams, the aforementioned Eagles and Chiefs along with the Coquitlam Express are still trying to find their way. That’s no surprise considering all the player turnover from lastt season and the coaching change in Coquitlam.

Basketball Cascades climb to third in national power poll
T-Birds split with Hawks
After taking a week off, the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds got back to action last weekend, taking on the Valley West Hawks. The Major Midget Hockey League homeand-home star ted Saturday afternoon at the Abbotsford Rec. Centre, with the Hawks taking a 5-3 win. Abbotsford native Alex Berg had two for the T-Birds, with Austin Wellsby (also Abby) picking up the third. Neither of the Chilliwack forwards, Drydon Downing and Hayden Guilderson, picked up a point. Guilderson did hit the scoresheet, picking
a two minute minor for a check to the head. Chilliwack native Josh Matzek got the day off in goal, but was back between the pipes for the Sunday afternoon rematch. Matzek got the win, with the T-Birds taking a 5-4 final. Guilderson contributed in a big way, setting up two T-Bird tallies. He assisted on Evan Cusmano’s snipe midway through period two, and Andrew Strelezki’s early in the third. Guilderson and Downing now have matching 1-2-3 stat lines through 12 games. Their team enters this weekend at 3-8-1-7, ninth in the 11 team circuit. Get T-Bird info at fraservalleythunderbirds. com.
Eight BCHLers will play in two CJHL Top Prospects games, taking place this weekend in Nova Scotia. They are goalie Jeff Smith (Powell River), D-men Alexandre Coulombe (Penticton), Brett Beauvais (Penticton), Mitch Meek (Victoria) and Luke Ripley (Powell River), and forwards Mason Blacklock (Vernon), Nicholas Rasovic (Coquitlam) and Adam Rockwood (Coquitlam).

Led by Chilliwack native Kayli Sartori, the University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team moved up to No. 3 in the latest Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) rankings released Tuesday. The Cascades, who opened at No. 4 in the
national poll, began the regular season with dominant home-court wins over Lethbridge (70-32) and Calgary (6036) last weekend. They benefitted from the Alberta Pandas’ surprising loss at Thompson Rivers University on Saturday, leapfrogging the former No. 2 squad in the new rankings while picking up 10 first-place votes. The St. Mar y’s Huskies (Nova Scotia) top the poll. The Windsor Lancers are second and UFV is next. Canada West teams hold down spots four through six, with the

GET GEARED UP! One of the major fundraisers that keeps volunteer safety personnel operating on local mountains occurs Nov. 16-17 in Abbotsford. The annual Canadian Ski Patrol's (CSP) Winter Extreme Ski Show and Swap sees about 10,000 pieces of ski and snowboard equipment valued at approximately $1 million on consignment at the Ag-Rec building, selling for significant savings over new, said Denis Dion, swap manager. "You can completely outfit yourself or your family members for under $100," he said. Everything from boots to boards will be on hand, and each piece is safety inspected. Any helmets for sale are brand new. "We have extreme selection and extreme pricing." Nearly 95 per cent of the equipment is still new – just last year's models.
Friday November,
7–9 pm - Public
"We don't know exactly how much we'll be getting until the vendors show up," he added. The swap has been running since the late 1970s, said Dion, who took on the event chair position in 1994. From its humble beginnings in a church basement, the swap grew and needed more space. They went from the basement to an auditorium, then Tradex and now the AgRec building. Between the Abbotsford event, and a similar one in Vancouver, these fundraisers generate enough money
– about $100,000 – to keep CSP volunteers on the slopes in locales such as Hemlock, Manning and Seymour, where they are often the first responders to anyone who has a mishap while skiing inbounds. Any off-the-trail emergencies are handled by search and rescue teams. CSP funds its own first aid
and avalanche training, and members pay to be a part of the organization. All proceeds from the swap support CSP. Public consignment dropoff happens Nov. 15 from 7 to 9 p.m., and the show is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Nov. 16, and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Nov. 17. Cheques for public consignment gear sold will be mailed Nov. 18, and unsold items can be picked up Nov. 13 at Mad Dog's Source for Sport, 2556 Montrose Ave. The Ag-Rec building is located at 32470 Haida Dr. (Gate 2).

HOST ORGANIZATION:
● Two Chilliwack atom teams finished the regular season on a winning note. The White Giants demolished the Meadow Ridge Blue Knights 30-0. The defence dominated, with Taylor Both, Jake Sondervang, Kai Manning, Vincent Braunaur and Dayton Rogers all recording quarterback sacks. Any ball carriers making it past the line of scrimmage were quickly taken down by Trent Cote and Jaxon Visser. Special teams were flawless. Kicker Ben Uz twice delivered perfectly placed onside kicks that were recovered by his teammates. Heavy rain and wind couldn’t keep the White Giant offence quiet. Visser had another big game, running for 150 yards. Braunaur had three TDs and Austin Wegener had two. Uz, Rogers, Logan Head, Will Aiken and Cameron Istace delivered crushing blocks on the offensive line. Meanwhile the Blue Giants wrapped up their regular season slate with a 38-24 win over Mission. Carter Dallas had one of the big plays, returning a kickoff for a TD. On kickoff coverage, Theo Smith tracked down the Mission return man, ripped the ball from his arms and raced the other way for a major. Offensively, running back D.J. Stephens went over 100 yards rushing, with two touchdowns. Aidan Saunders and Travis Richley paved the way with big blocks. The balanced Giants offence saw nine players score at least one TD this year. Kenyan Reid, Andrew Fawcett and Jared Rahnborn had big defensive days.

CHILLIWACK’S TEAM
Canadian Military Personnel Killed
As with World War 1, Canadians were not only considered expert and professional soldiers, they were feared by the Germans as an omen of impending attack. The Canadian forces were relied upon to provide defence on the high seas and over Britain, and to spearhead assaults for major battles. Once again Canadians had proved themselves on the battlefield and fought ferociously to win every battle they were engaged in.

Sept 6, 1932 - Nov. 1, 2013
I lost my dearest friend and partner but stayed true to my marriage vows through sickness and health and have never regretted it. Now I am about to do the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do during my 81 years of life. With great sadness, sorrow and despair, I have to say goodbye to my loving, most faithful wife and dearest friend of 59 years, Mrs. Frances Constance Marks (Estabrooks). After a very, very long battle with severe and crippling arthritis and a number of other major medical problems, Frances passed away at 81 years of age at approximately 4:00am on November 1, 2013 at the Abbotsford hospital, with me, her husband, Earl Jr. by her side. Fran, as she was known by many, was a very tiny lady and born in Sackville NB, on September 6, 1932. We lived most her married life in Chilliwack. (I was also born in Sackville). Fran loved reading and playing crossword puzzles. Fran was predeceased years ago by her mother Violet; dad Courtney and brother Thorton. She will be sadly and dearly missed by her older sister Irene and brother Donald (Pat); a very large number of aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. Fran requested no service and will be cremated. Those wishing to do so may make a donation to any arthritis society. I will truly and sadly miss my tiny partner after 59 years. Her suffering is over now and I know she is now with her mom and dad and the angels in heaven, she at least deserved that. I would like to thank a very dear and close friend Mr. Hollis Wry of Vancouver for without his wavering support at the hospital and at home, I really don’t know what I would have done! I would also like to thank the doctor and nurses on the third floor of the Abbotsford hospital for their very understanding support and care.
Warren, Jeanette Euphemia Jeanette Euphemia Warren (formerly Field), 90, died in Chilliwack, on Monday, November 3. She was born on January 19th 1923, in Brussels Ontario, one of 6 children, of Ada and Donald Sanderson. Jeanette graduated as a nurse from Hamilton General Hospital in 1945, and worked at Chilliwack General Hospital from then until 1960, when she first moved to Alberta and Quebec, working as an operating room nurse in both those provinces. Jeaneatte returned to Chilliwack, and the Valley she loved, in 1991 with her second husband, Frank Warren, who predeceased her in 1998. She was a devoted mother and Christian, and enjoyed helping those less fortunate than herself throughout her 90 years. Jeanette is survived by her sons Robert Field of Chilliwack; and Jim Field of Calgary, Alberta, and her three grandchildren, Matthew, Elizabeth and Julia. A service for Jeanette will be held at the Kingdom Hall, 46956 Yale Road East, at 2 pm on November 16th.

Ursula passed away suddenly on November 1, 2013 at Abbotsford Regional Hospital, at the age of 75 years. She was born on January 9, 1938 in East Prussia, Germany, to parents Ernst and Emilie Linau. She emigrated with her family to Canada in 1953, settling in southern Alberta. Ursula worked in Lethbridge, Calgary and Edmonton before moving to Manitoba. From there she relocated to Chilliwack, working for some twenty years in the Fraser Valley Foods office. Following FVF’s closure, she worked at the Chilliwack Progress and then the Abbotsford News office until her retirement. Hiking, gardening and housekeeping were activities that kept her very active right until the end. The family would like to extend a special thanks to Vascular Surgeon Dr. Robert Smith, Dr. Neil McLean and Andrew Neitzel, as well as nurses Lydia, Breanne, Breana, David and Mark at the Abbotsford Hospital for their valiant efforts and care. They would also like to thank all the staff at Chilliwack General Hospital for Mom’s great care. Deeply affected by her passing are Daren and Nadia Lintick, Evan Lintick, Gerald Linau, Eric Linden, and many friends and relatives in California, Germany and many other places in Canada. Funeral Services will be held at 2PM on Friday November 8th from the chapel of Henderson’s Funeral Home.
