Recycling rezoning hearing set for Tuesday Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A property on Cannor Road might one day house a facility to deal with materials such as low-level PCB-containing oil, and mercury-filled lamps. A rezoning hearing is set for Dec. 3 at Chilliwack city hall to consider a proposal to facilitate the construction of a new waste recycling and transfer station. The application is to rezone a 1.78 ha portion of the 9.1 ha property on what is known as the Cattermole Lands on Cannor Road, near Highway 1. The property is currently zoned heavy industrial, which would not permit the waste recycling use so a rezoning is required, with a special industrial zone, M6, proposed, according to the staff report. That is considered the “most appropriate zone,” for the facility, it said, since the zone specifically permits some uses “with the potential to be incompatible” with surrounding land uses. If approved, the zoning would allow the monthly recycling of up to 500,000 mercury and non-mercury lamps, and 5,000 litres of electrical transformer oil with a PCB level of between 50 and 500 parts per million. Hazardous materials eligible for transfer would include flammable and corrosive liquids, as well as “toxic and infectious substances.” The rezoning would allow a 500-drum maximum, plus three trailers in the loading dock. Examples of materials not permitted in the proposed M6 zone would be pathological, radioactive or electrical waste. All activities would have to be conducted indoors and the applicant would have to enter into a Good Neighbour Agreement with a protocol for dealing with complaints. Continued: ZONING/ p23

The byelection for Chilliwack school trustee is this Saturday. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Trustee candidates countdown to Saturday Katie Bartel The Progress This Saturday will determine the future for one candidate vying for a seat on Chilliwack school board. Election day for the school trustee byelection is Saturday, Nov. 30. Four polling stations will be open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Chilliwack middle school, Sardis elementary, Cultus Lake elementary and Rosedale traditional – all in the gymnasium. Candidates include Ben Besler, Dan Coulter, Karen Jarvis, Corey Neyrinck, Harold Schmidt and Rob Stelmaschuk.
Election results will be posted on The Progress website at www. theprogress.com Saturday evening as soon as they’re released. Candidates have been campaigning for the past month, attending all-candidates meetings, answering media questions, and some going door-todoor to get the vote out. However, school board elections, often viewed as the “forgotten election,” have notoriously produced low voter turnout. The last municipal election in 2011 had 15 per cent of the eligible voter population voting – the second worse turnout in all of B.C. And yet, everyone – not just
parents – have a stake in the success of public schools. School trustees are responsible for setting and maintaining the school district’s budget; for creating policy to guide the school district; and for hiring a superintendent. Many of the decisions made by trustees today will affect the community for years to come. In the final question posed to school trustee candidates, The Progress asked why Chilliwack residents, whether they have children or not, should vote in the Nov. 30 byelection. These were the responses from the candidates who replied. Harold Schmidt: Who you
vote for will determine policies that affect yours and every child’s education, including, among others, those with special needs, giftedness, and those who are bullied. A large percentage of your property taxes are set by and designated for school district use. The freedoms, rights, and privileges you enjoy now can only survive if individuals exercise these as a responsibility and a right in any democratic process. Corey Neyrinck: The community should go out and vote because everyone always is sayContinued: BYELECTION/ p5

Hydro rates going up 28 per cent over five years Tom Fletcher Black Press VICTORIA – The first of a series of BC Hydro rate increases takes effect in April 2014, adding $8 a month to the average residential power bill. Rate increases of nine per cent next year and six per cent in 2015 are the highest of a series of increases over five years announced Monday by Energy Minister Bill Bennett. The B.C. Utilities Commission will be directed to set rate increases that total up to 28 per cent over the next five years, then determine what rates are needed for the following five years, Bennett said. Commercial rates are going up the same amount. Bennett acknowledged that rate increases are being kept low by using a “rate smoothing” account
that defers more than $1 billion of the utility’s debt. That account won’t begin to be paid down until after 2020. BC Hydro CEO Charles Reid said the latest rate increases are driven mainly by a large increase in capital spending, including seismic refits of old dams at Campbell River and Ruskin, turbine expansions at two Kootenay power dams and other upgrades. BC Hydro’s “big build” era of 1973 to 1982 produced rate increases totalling 113 per cent. BC Hydro cited an annual survey by Hydro Quebec that shows BC Hydro customers currently pay the third lowest rates in North America. Montreal and Winnipeg customers pay less, and Seattle and Miami residents pay slightly more. NDP energy critic John Horgan said Bennett avoided the impact
of private power purchases on BC Hydro’s rate increases. “We’re going to have increased debt for the next five years,” Horgan said. “They’re going to continue to take a dividend from a company that can’t afford to pay one, and the consequences for people are going to be higher costs.” Bennett said the 10-year plan calls for the government to “wean itself off” dividends from the utility, but the five years of reductions don’t start until 2018. The government has instructed BC Hydro to shut down the gasfired Burrard Thermal generating station in Port Moody by 2016, saving an estimated $14 million a year. The forecast electricity surplus over the 10-year plan allows that, but the facility will continue to be staffed for its grid stability function, Reid said.
Energy Minister Bill Bennett and BC Hydro CEO Charles Reid take questions on the utility’s 10-year plan Monday. TOM FLETCHER/BLACK PRESS
Family of kids help others at Christmas Jenna Hauck The Progress When Sandi Edel asked her five adopted children to sit down and make a Christmas wish list, she got a pleasant surprise. “Why don’t we give this year?” asked the youngest, five-year-old Damon. The five — Kiara, 16, Jaeden, 13, Lillie, 12, David, 6, and Damon — came up with an idea to hold fundraisers for two families they know both affected by cancer, instead of receiving Christmas presents, said Sandi. One of the families has a 17-year-old boy battling brain cancer, and the other is a single mom going through her second bout of cancer. The kids wanted to help both families, and so the Cancer Sucks fundraiser was born. Last week the Edels started collecting bottles and cans by going door-to-door, plus they’re doing a toonie drive. “We’re really grateful that we’re adopted, and we wanted to give back,” said Lillie. The five were all once foster children. They all wrote letters to the ministry of children services asking to be placed in a permanent home with Sandi. The adoptions were all approved. The kids are all high achievers in school, too. “I’m so proud of them,” said Sandi. “They’re going to do great things in giving back as they get older.” The Edels are having a hot dog fundraiser this Saturday, Nov. 30 at PriceSmart Foods

Anti-violence vigil returns to museum grounds The annual candlelight vigil to mark the Montreal Massacre in Chilliwack is returning to base of the Chilliwack Museum stairs on Dec. 6 at 5 p.m. Organizers at the Ann Davis Transition Society decided to restore the candlelit tradition at that downtown location for 2013. “We will be honouring the 14 young women whose lives were snuffed out because they were women, but Dec. 6 also represents an opportunity for everyone to reflect on the phenomenon of violence against women in our society, and how to prevent it,” said ADTS board chair Kathy Clement. On Dec. 6, 1989, 14 young women at l’École Polytechnique de Montréal were killed because they were women and wanted to be engineers. The lone gunman made a point of separating the male students from female students before starting his murderous rampage. As a result, Dec. 6 was chosen to become the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women in Canada by an act of Parliament in 1991. At the Chilliwack vigil, the names of the 14 Montreal women will be read out and remembered. Bring a candle to keep the tradition and their memories alive.

If temperatures dip below zero, out come the brine trucks to spray the majority of Chilliwack roads, particularly the hillsides. The brine soaks into the asphalt appearing as faint, white stripes, and prevents ice from bonding to the road surface, making for safer driving conditions.

weather forecast by the city’s contracted meteorologist indicates this winter will be worse than 2012. They get daily forecasts when the weather turns nasty. Coun. Stewar t MacLean asked city staff how much salt is expected to be needed. An estimated 2,500 tonnes was the answer from public works officials, as to what they’ll order, and they figure they’ll use about 2,000. Last year, considered a light year, they spread a total of 500 tonnes, but in a bad year for the ice and snow, they can throw down as much as 5,000 tonnes. Road salt is used in

City of Chilliwack thanks Health Canada for listening Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A letter is on its way to Health Canada from City of Chilliwack this week to thank them for moving ahead so decisively on changes to the medical marijuana regulations. Chilliwack officials say they were satisfied federal authorities listened to the concerns of municipalities on this subject in drafting new legislation on Marijuana for Medical
Purposes Regulations (MMPR). Council has opted to restrict the operation of future medical-marijuana growing facilities in Chilliwack to special industrial zones. A new regime comes into force in April 2014 which removes medical grow-ops from residential areas. Personal growers will no longer be issued licences and it shifts that responsibility solely to commercial growers. “They have gone through a lot
Byelection countdown BYELECTION from Front because everyone always is saying nothing ever changes. The way to get things to change is to go out and vote each and every time that an election is held. I have heard countless times it is only one vote it will not make a difference but if 1,000 people say that nothing will ever change. Karen Jarvis: One of the goals within the school district’s strategic plan is to “create a community in which students, parents, staff, and community partners are engaged and value working together to support student achievement.� As a community partner, voting in this byelection will show that you are both engaged and support student achievement. Our students are our future! Show your support for student success, vote Karen Jarvis for school trustee on November 30th. Ben Besler: Every trustee’s voice will help contribute to either the harmony or discord that sets the tone for our school district. My opponents in this campaign have voiced their plans to change existing policies to be more tolerant of drugs and alcohol in our schools and less tolerant of business support for school programs. I think our primary concerns are keeping our students safe and providing every opportunity for students to reach their greatest potentials. For a full list of candidate responses to questions asked by The Progress over the past month, visit the website at www.theprogress.com.
of heartache through this process,� said Coun. Chuck Stam, chair of the public safety committee. “They created the mess but they also responded to the cities’ request to take it out of the residential areas and have made those changes. I think they will continue to get heat over this as we move forward to the changeover dates.� Health Canada needs to be thanked for listening, said the councillor. Council approved a motion to
fire off a thank-you note at the last council meeting. “The heavy lifting starts this spring,� said Stam. “So often we’re quick to criticize, but we wanted to be the ones in this case to send out an ‘atta boy’ as well.� In the letter dated Nov. 25 and addressed to Health Minister Rona Ambrose and Health Canada, Mayor Sharon Gaetz thanked the ministry for the MMPR changes “that we felt were necessary for the
safety of all concerned,� on behalf of the committee and council. “It provides much more clarity for everyone involved and contains provisions that enable local governments to manage these operations more effectively,� Gaetz wrote. “Our municipality has always wanted to have more say in how this process operates, and we appreciate the new legislation has addressed this issue.� jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Piper backs Coulter Katie Bartel The Progress Chilliwack’s labour movement has Dan Coulter’s back. With just days remaining in the school trustee byelection campaign, former school trustee Louise Piper announced her endorsement of the candidate Tuesday. “I think he’s going to be an excellent leader for this community,� Piper told The Progress. Like Coulter, Piper has a strong NDP background. A City of Chilliwack employee, Piper was former president of Chilliwack CUPE 458, representing civic workers in the Fraser Valley. She served one full term on school board, and was reelected in 2011, placing fifth out of eight seats. But after months of absenteeism due to health reasons, which she has not publicly disclosed, she resigned from her position as board chair and school trustee in August. Piper’s endorsement of Coulter is the first time she has spoken to the media since stepping down.

W
hen nurses go to check on patients in the surgical unit at your local hospital, there are many variables they have to consider. Yes, there are extensive notes and records kept on each patient, and physicians are involved in assessing them and issuing orders, but situations can change quickly, and the nurse needs to anticipate and check for conditions that are not directly related to the patient’s reason for being in hospital. Student nurses in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at the University of the Fraser Valley receive four years of education before they earn Registered Nurse status, and experiential learning is a key part of their training all along the way. On a recent Thursday morning, five community volunteers helped to make the students’ learning all the more real by posing as patients in a surgical ward who were either awaiting surgery or recovering from it. Dr. Alan Quinn, a semi-retired physician from Chilliwack; nursing instructor Janice Savoy; community volunteer Laura Eichstadt; and off-duty nursing students Sahil Kataria and Letitia Marien all enthusiastically took on the roles of patients resting in hospital beds or family members, as four sets of eight nurses took turns assessing them. Each pair of nurses was assigned to one patient, charged with interacting with them, taking vital signs, and either helping them prepare for surgery or providing postoperative care. The volunteers all had a basic script describing who they were and their underlying health conditions. Quinn, whose character was recovering from knee surgery, was also Type 2 diabetic.

speak much English. Marien was his wife, awaiting instructions on taking him home. And Savoy was a post-op Type 1 diabetic recovering from appendicitis. They were all realistically set up, with fake IVs, hemovac drains to remove post-operative fluid, or casts. As the student nurses enter the room and begin working in pairs, the volunteers start ad libbing and throwing curve balls. Eichstadt deliberately asks for a drink, although she’s not permitted to have one before her operation. Savoy is nauseous and pretending to vomit, partly because she had a coffee sooner that she should have after her appendectomy. Kataria pretends to be confused by the instructions. His student nurse knows Punjabi, so she starts to speak to him in that language. Quinn fakes a blood sugar low and begins to get irritable and disoriented. The student nurses calmly assess, react, and help their patients, while being watched carefully by instructors JoAnne Nelmes, Pamela Causton, and Adele Phillips. The students are in a phase of their studies called consolidation, where they take the theory they’ve learned in class and the skills and experience they’ve gained through their surgery
Thanks to a new initiative at UFV, students can now get official recognition for volunteering with a favourite UFV club, activity, or having paid on-campus employment while at university. Providing multiple benefits to students, the CoCurricular Record (CCR) — an official transcript of students’ out-of-class involvement on campus — will open doors to increased engagement and improved employability. And it’s already in place. Students just need to register for it. As an added bonus, Student Life offers 30-minute CCR info sessions in Abbotsford until Dec. 5 for students (Tuesdays 1:30–2 pm at U-house, F110), and staff and faculty (Thursdays 1–1:30 pm, U-house, F110).

clinical rotation at a hospital, and further refine it in a lab setting. After the 20-minute exercise is over, everyone gathers to discuss their experience. The “patients” provide feedback about how they felt the simulation went, and the instructors point out what the students did right and as well as items to consider. “This is a great opportunity for our students to further utilize the knowledge and experience they’ve gained through their studies and clinical experience, and to hear feedback from the people that they are practising on,” says Nelmes. “It’s a little less stressful than the real clinical setting, and it enables them to take on more of a leadership role than they do when they are
learning in the hospital.” Dr. Quinn, who has worked as a physician in Chilliwack since 1976, was happy to help to educate the next generation of nurses by playing patient for the day. “I read about this in the local paper last year, and contacted them because I thought it would be fun to help out.” Causton and Nelmes prepared the simulation scenario and patient roles while lab coordinators Charlene Cranley and Arlene Haley worked hard to set up a surgical nursing unit complete with realistic equipment and environment.

Chilliwack’s participation rate in the last municipal election was hardly inspiring. In fact, voter turn out was estimated to be the second lowest of all the cities, towns, villages and districts in B.C. It was estimated that only three of every 20 eligible voters in Chilliwack bothered to vote. This Saturday, let’s try to do better. Voters have a choice between six committed individuals who hope to earn a seat on the Chilliwack Board of Education. The byelection aims to fill the spot left vacant by the retirement of Louise Piper. There will be challenges in getting that vote out. The poor turnout in 2011 can be attributed (in part) to the absence of a challenger for mayor, which removed some of the drama. In the continuum of voter popularity, the mayor’s race usually attracts the most attention; school trustees, the least. But it shouldn’t be that way. School trustees play an important role in building a stronger community. True, there are limits on what they can achieve, given that roughly 80 per cent of their budget is tied to salaries they have no control over. But there are still important contributions trustees can make to the shape and flavour of the educational community we want. That ability should interest more than just parents of school aged children. We all pay taxes, but more importantly, we all live in a world shaped by the products of our schools. Where we’ll be in the future begins in the classroom today. Who to vote for is a personal choice. The Chilliwack Progress has compiled the series of question-and-answers that we’ve posed to the candidates over the past few weeks and posted on our website. Take a look. Give it some thought. But most importantly, this Saturday take a few minutes to cast your ballot at one of the four voting locations (see front page). The polls are open between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress
B.C. V IEWS
B.C.’s carbon neutral scheme is sinking VICTORIA – Two days after Energy Minister Bill Bennett announced the demise of the Pacific Carbon Trust, the public accounts committee convened at the legislature to pound a few more nails into its carbon-sequestering coffin. Assistant Auditor General Morris Sydor was there to defend his report from last March that concluded the B.C. government was not “carbon neutral” in 2010, because the trust paid $6 million for hastily arranged offset projects that were not valid. An Encana Corp. gas flaring reduction project at Fort Nelson and a forest preserve in the Kootenays would have proceeded without assistance from $25 a tonne carbon fee imposed on hospitals, universities, colleges and until last year, school districts. In fact they did proceed without this subsidy. The government contin-
ues to deny this, but not many people outside the international carbon offset sales racket believe them. The Pacific Carbon Trust’s functions will continue, Bennett said. Instead of a board of directors and 18 staff, five people headed by an assistant deputy Tom minister will evaluFLETCHER ate projects and bestow millions taken from college, university and health authority budgets each year. B.C.’s school districts are still paying $5 million a year to offset such nefarious activities as heating their schools. But now the money goes into a “Carbon Neutral Capital Program,” and districts have to apply to get their money back for
emission-reducing projects. This is going so well, according to Bennett, that post-secondary institutions and health authorities will be converted to a similar program in the years ahead. How is that school program going? Here are some examples. The Coast Mountains School District around Terrace paid $66,452 for carbon offsets last year. It got back most of its three years of offset payments as a grant to complete a boiler upgrade for its Kitimat high school. Abbotsford and Nanaimo school districts each have to pay about $100,000 a year. They got money back for school boiler upgrades as well, although local school officials say that would not likely have been the top priority for spending, if it hadn’t been for the program that forces districts to spend grants immediately on emission reduction.

Surrey school district paid out $585,000 last year, and also upgraded boilers. Vancouver’s pitch this year was for three electric cars. Leaving aside the distortion of spending priorities caused by this restrictive tax-and-spend scheme, what happens when they run out of boilers to upgrade? And has it occurred to the government’s “carbon neutral” braintrust that those new boilers are still burning natural gas? This program is about to be foisted onto universities and hospitals. Does anyone actually believe that heating hospitals and college classrooms is a key driver of global warming? Presumably our carbon czars know that 40 per cent of B.C.’s human-generated greenhouse gas emissions are from transportation, and a few electric cars for school district staff aren’t going to change that. And what happens when col-

leges and hospitals run out of boilers to modernize and insulation to upgrade? It won’t be long at this rate. In hindsight, this “carbon neutral government” scheme is perhaps the worst single idea implemented in 12 years of B.C. Liberal government. Gordon Campbell’s grand vision of a province where government sets the green standard and the private sector economy follows has simply not worked. The NDP presented a motion in April 2012 to relieve hospitals, colleges and universities of their carbon offset obligation. The idea was supported by a B.C. Liberal backbencher, who argued that B.C. should also scrap the carbon tax and quit pretending it can change the climate. His name? Bill Bennett.

Candidate right to back trades Re: Have candidates really done their homework? (Chilliwack Progress, Nov. 26) While I appreciate that you highlighted some of the school district’s existing and successful apprenticeship and employmentoriented programs, I think that you may have overreacted. If Dan Coulter and the other candidates want to focus on these as areas for improvement, that doesn’t mean that they are
automatically unaware or derisive of what is already working in the district. I applaud Mr. Coulter for actually stating what his priorities are instead of mumbling in agreement or running on the “Everything’s Fine” platform. Would you heap as much scorn on someone pushing for more information technology training or improving physical fitness, pointing out the IT programs, plentiful computers, and ample
access to extracurricular sports already in place? Also, no one trustee would be able to enact an International Baccalaureate program. If the majority of the school board really wanted to start one, they would have to find additional revenue or cut expenditures elsewhere, just as they would with any other new or expanded program. Mark Jackson Secondary School Apprenticeship program graduate, 2000
Besler commits to non-partisan board In response to your editorial “Partisan politics” (Chilliwack Progress, Nov. 21) It is true that Mr. Coulter and I come from different ideologies and those differences would have been highlighted throughout this campaign with, or without, our provincial party affiliations being known (which they were from the beginning). It’s true, I am a mem-
ber and supporter of the BC Liberal Party and I “was on the front lines in the election win of Chilliwack MLA John Martin.” I also support the federal Conservative party and for a few years I supported the BCCP. I view that experience and my association with provincial decision-makers as assets I will use to better School District 33 if I am elected as a trustee. I would like to remind you, and Chilliwack vot-
ers, that my party affiliations do not define me as an individual and it is as an independent candidate that I am running for school trustee.... If I am elected as a trustee, my mandate will be to serve the Chilliwack school district with focus, committing myself to the highest standards of education for our students by providing them with the best choices possible to excel in our “dynamic and complex world.”
If elected, I will continue to honour my commitment to keep the Chilliwack school board non-partisan. I will hold true to my commitment to make the Chilliwack school district an environment where every student can have the opportunity to reach his or her greatest potential. Ben Besler Candidate for Trustee, Chilliwack School District 33

Strahl proud of commitment to veterans Re: Strahl urged to rethink priorities, (Letters, Chilliwack Progress, Nov. 12) I will always place the highest priority on supporting Canada’s men and women in uniform, both during and after their service to our country. Toronto Liberal MP and veterans af fairs critic, Jim Karygiannis, is wrong about the Last Post Fund. He knows that our Conservative government improved the Funeral and Burial Program by more than doubling the financial support available to veterans’ families from $3,600 under the Liberals to $7,376 today – improvements that the Royal Canadian Legion applauded, and he and the Liberal Party of Canada voted against. In fact, our Conservative government has made record investments to support Canada’s vet-
erans, including almost $5 billion in new additional funding since taking office. This funding has been put towards improved financial benefits, world-class rehabilitation and tuition costs to help veterans transition to civilian life. Unfortunately, the Liberal Party of Canada has not only failed to support these programs, but they have openly insulted the Canadian veterans receiving assistance from them. Instead of setting politics aside on Remembrance Day, the Liberal Party of Canada’s veterans critic went on national television and declared that giving injured veterans large initial payments for their pain and suffering was like “hanging a case of beer in front of a drunk.” He went on to say that injured veterans would simply blow the money on “booze and addiction.” These comments are disgraceful.
The Liberal Party of Canada presided over what former Chief of Defence Staff, Rick Hillier, referred to as “the Decade of Darkness” for Canada’s men and women in uniform. They continue that same attitude today by voting against every improvement we make to veterans benefits, and with their shameful display of disrespect towards Canada’s injured veterans. Our Conservative government knows that there is always more to be done, which is why we’ve announced a comprehensive review of the New Veterans Charter with a special focus on the most injured veterans. I can only hope that as we make further improvements to veterans benefits, Mr. Karigyannis and the Liberals will finally- even oncesupport them. Mark Strahl, MP Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon

Chinese petrochemical giant Sinopec, another Japanese player and an unidentified Indian company are joining the international move to explore liquefied natural gas exports from northern B.C., says Rich Coleman, B.C.’s minister for natural gas development. Sinopec, ranked the fifth largest global company in 2011, is looking for LNG imports equivalent to the output of the world’s second largest LNG terminal, Coleman told reporters as Premier Christy Clark began a trade trip to Asia. Another new player is Idemitsu Kosan Co., the second largest petroleum refiner in Japan, which is applying for a federal export permit in a partnership with Calgary-based AltaGas called Triton LNG.
China National Overseas Oil Company and its new subsidiary Nexen has put up a non-refundable deposit of $12 million toward purchase of provincial land on the north side of Grassy Point near Prince Rupert, Coleman said. Another unidentified company has shown interest in the south side of Grassy Point. The new proposals add to a lineup of international investment proposed by Petronas, Chevron, Shell, British Gas and others, which are expected to make final investment decisions in 2014. Coleman said the tax rate for LNG producers is to be presented to companies by the end of November, but it may not be public until the B.C. government table its budget in February. ~ Black Press

They’ve approached media, businesses, politicians, have been visible at community venues, including Chilliwack Chiefs games and will have a float in the upcoming Christmas parade.

where from $5,000 to $150,000. For Evans, that money would go a long way in making play at the school, and the whole community, accessible to all. Cur rently the school’s playground is not wheelchair accessible. It’s encased by a cement curb, has a wood chip surface in which tires spin out on, and the play facilities are not built to accommodate those with disabilities. Out of 308 students, 16 have special needs, and four are mobility
impaired. Evans elementar y has its eyes on a playground that would feature inclusive elements, including a bucket seat swing with a transfer point for wheelchairs and walkers; a bucket seat spinner, that would encourage vestibular sensor y 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.
A B.C. Senator and MP are calling for the first Saturday in June to be proclaimed National Health and Fitness Day, to help reverse what they call an “epidemic of obesity” among young people.

Law planned to freeze MLA seats The B.C. government is accepting public comments until Jan. 15 on a proposed bill to restrict the number of MLAs to the current level of 85, and to maintain the current rural and northern seats regardless of population. Current law requires an independent Electoral Boundaries Commission to be appointed in May 2014 to consider changes. The government discussion paper is posted online at http://www.ag.gov.bc.ca/ legislation/ebca/index.htm. The last review in 2008 recommended that an urban population shift should result in a reduction of one seat in the Cariboo-Thompson region and one in northern B.C. The government intervened keep those seats and increase the total constituencies from 83 to 85. The B.C. Liberals and NDP agreed that northern constituencies could not get any larger and still be represented by a single MLA. The 2008 review added seats in the Okanagan, Fraser Valley, Surrey, Burnaby-Tri-Cities and downtown Vancouver.

The head of B.C.’s Missing Women Inquiry says he’s pleased with some of the actions taken in the year since he released 65 recommendations aimed at protecting vulnerable women from a future serial killer. But Commissioner Wally Oppal told Black Press he wants much more done, particularly with his recommendation of creating a regional police force for Metro Vancouver. Oppal acknowledges various improvements in policing since botched, badly coordinated investigations let serial killer Robert Pickton stalk addicted sex-trade workers in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside for years until his arrest in 2001. “They have more regional cooperation and they have better communications,” Oppal said, citing improved police databases, the regional The evidence homicide squad IHIT and was quite clear other integrated teams. “But still the present – if we’d had a patchwork of policing really makes no sense,” regional police he said. “The evidence force a number was quite clear – if we’d of murders had a regional police would have force a number of murders would have been been prevented prevented.” The mix of municipal ~ Wally Oppal police forces and RCMP detachments across the region was one of his main targets for reform but several Metro mayors have resisted any change, fearing a regional force might mean less local control over policing or less coverage if officers are pulled away to regional priorities. Oppal contends a regional force could still be created that allows decentralized communitybased policing that respects their wishes. The province this month announced a pending review of policing in the new year that is expected to consider further integration of forces and potential alternate models. Victoria is also funding more work to combat sexual exploitation and human trafficking, which often sees criminals lure girls from small towns and reserves into drug-addicted prostitution in the Lower Mainland. “I do recognize that the situation is much improved from what it was when Pickton was killing women,” Oppal said. “The likelihood is that he would be apprehended quicker. But I can’t say it couldn’t happen again.”

Missing Women report needs new ‘champion’: Crey CREY from page 16 The provincial government’s move to fully fund the WISH
drop-in centre in the Downtown Eastside is one of the steps Oppal credits. The province says it
has fully implemented three recommendations and is working on numerous others. Ernie Crey, brother
of murdered woman Dawn Crey, said he fears the drive for change has faltered since the resignation
of Pickton’s victims launched civil lawsuits against police forces and the government seeking compensation.

Ernie Crey
I would like to introduce myself as the new flooring sales representative for Pioneer Building Supplies. I have worked in the flooring industry for the last 8 years as a tile setter, and have recently completed the Journeyman tile setter program in Calgary. This year my family and I moved back from Regina and I am looking forward to serving the people in this exciting and diverse community.
Crey said the province must name a successor to Point “to drive the process forward.” He also said that if the province had compensated victims’ children – as Oppal recommended – the families likely wouldn’t be in court suing the authorities and much more progress might have been made. One initiative both Oppal and Crey said should be pursued is an intercity bus service between northern B.C. communities along the so-called Highway of Tears where many women have vanished hitchhiking. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton said the province is making significant progress on many of the inquiry’s recommendations. “None of us want to see something like this tragedy happen again in British Columbia,” she said after meeting with advocacy groups Monday. “ The province is committed to building a legacy of safety and security for vulnerable women.”

Gift ideas for the gardner You may have already discovered this reality: when it comes to gardening gifts, passionate gardeners are very particular, so here are some suggestions that you might find helpful. There are so many great gardening books available today. It is well worth a browse in the gardening section of your favourite book store. Gardeners
love quality books with great information and lots of coloured photographs. The Sunset Western Garden Book is probably one of the most useful. You might also consider a gift subscription to one of our excellent BC gardening magazines, like Gardens West. At the high end of gardening gifts, a greenhouse is a present to be enjoyed for

growing season and a useful place for winter storage of less hardy plants and bulbs. The latest trend in Europe is a conservatory added to the home. It’s a wonderful way to bring the outside inside and makes an awesome living space. A less expensive alternative is a windowsill greenhouse, which, by the way, makes a perfect spot to grow almost anything. If your gardener has a greenhouse, accessories such as heating pads and cables, quality watering accessories, like the world famous English Hawes watering cans, and maximum-minimum thermometers are always appreciated. Attracting wildlife to gardens has become quite a trend these days. Birdbaths and birdbath heaters, feeders and bird houses are great gifts for children and shut-ins. Birding is the number two leisure activity in North America, and birding accessories are a nice present for those who enjoy this hobby. During winter cold spells, the birds would appreciate some help too. There are a whole host of gardening gift ideas like quality tools, gardeners’ soap, richly toned wind chimes and gardening videos. There are also ergonomically designed tools for easy of use. For those gardeners who are finding it a little more difficult to kneel down and get back up, handy kneelers, which double as a seat, are awesome. Complete gardening ‘wardrobes’ are available from gardening hats, gloves, aprons and footwear to knee pads and garden tool belts. A gift certificate to a favourite gardening store is also a valued treasure. Water in the garden is very popular these days, and everything from pre-formed ponds to pumps, fountains, filters, waterfalls and LED underwater lights are huge hits as gifts.

Cities vote on joining MMBC recycling system Jeff Nagel Black Press Many B.C. city councils are voting this week on whether to sign on to Mult-Material B.C.’s recycling system after the industry stewardship organization made more concessions to address municipal concerns. Cities face a Nov. 30 deadline to decide whether they will accept incentive payments from MMBC to act as recycling contractors in the new system, even though there are still concerns the money won’t fully cover municipal costs. The alternatives are to let MMBC launch its own blue box recycling collection with new contractors – replacing the municipal system – or to opt out and keep running the current pickup system without any contributions from MMBC. Cities had complained for months of intense pressure to sign without knowing the full ramifications of the shift to an industry-controlled recycling system – at one point they had been told they would be frozen out for at least five years if they opted out. Now cities that opt out will get a chance to reconsider and sign on with MMBC in early 2015. Surrey Coun. Linda Hepner, chair of a working group on the issue for B.C. municipalities, said that concession lets concerned councils “take a deep breath” and watch how the changes unfold in other cities over the next year before deciding if they want to join. “Each local government can now make its own decision without feeling pressured that there’s a significant loss if they don’t make that decision immediately.” Cities can also now cancel the MMBC contract on six months notice. Hepner also credited MMBC with spelling out more clearly how it will levy penalties on cities – as a last resort only – for repeatedly delivering packaging and printed paper that is too heavily contaminated with other materials. Cities previously feared contamination fees might devour all their revenue. Hepner said it’s “disappointing” glass won’t be accepted in blue boxes under the new
system – households will be expected to instead take all glass jars and bottles to depots. Surrey voted on the MMBC offer in a closed
council meeting earlier this week and the decision won’t be announced until next week. Also still deciding are Richmond and
Vancouver councils. Burnaby, Nanaimo and Smithers are among the latest municipalities to sign on with MMBC. The producer pay

Hearing set for zoning change
ZONING from Front There are no residential or commercial properties nearby, but there are others involved in heavy industrial activity. The last time the property was rezoned was in preparation for
the controversial rendering plant and bio-diesel plant, which never materialized, due to economic factors. It was also moved out of the Agricultural Land Reserve. “The M6 Zone is unique from the other zones in that the Zoning Bylaw requires, prior to the issu-
ance of a building permit, the land owner to register a restrictive covenant that specifies the property to be used only for the proposed ‘Special Industry’ use,” according to the report. The proposed rezoning will only affect the 1.78 ha portion of
the property and the applicant’s intention is to subdivide this portion from the remaining 7.32 ha portion if the proposed rezoning is approved. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Research has revealed that of all the gifts people receive, flowers make folks the happiest. Longlasting and perfumed Christmas bouquets with seasonal fragrant greens are a real treat anytime over the Christmas season. Gardeners love plants best of all and there are some wonderful new hardy plants they can enjoy in the late fall and winter. ‘Bloomerang’ lilacs that bloom twice, winter blooming jasmine, viburnums and sasanqua camellias are fabulous. Peeling bark maples, coral bark maples and contorted filberts and willows are a joy in winter. The ‘Brazelberry Collection’ of dwarf ‘Raspberry Shortcake’ and ‘Jelly Bean’ and ‘Peach Sorbet’ blueberries will be the ‘hottie’ foods for 2014. By stepping out of the box a wee bit, there are some wonderful worldwide garden tours out there, and Donna Dawson, at icangarden. com provides some of the very best. Garden makeovers are all the rage today, and a gift certificate from a quality garden designer is also a wonderful gift. Tickets to the Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Seattle this coming February 5-9 would be a treasured gift (tickets can be purchased online). Tickets or season passes to some of our wonderful Lower Mainland or Vancouver Island gardens would also be a splendid idea. Most gardeners appreciate something unique and different. Quality and usefulness are perhaps the two most important criteria to keep in mind. I hope this helps.

Finding Hope in tough times It’s the fourth year for Chilliwack Alliance Church’s homespun Christmas production, as it presents Five Corners Christmas — The Dirty 30s Hope in Hard Times Dec. 6-8. This year, the Five Corners Christmas production follows the lives of four families as they grapple with the struggles and hardships of the Great Depression. “Through the generosity of friendship, the kindness of strangers and their commitment to faith and love, these families strive to find hope in the hard times.” The script was written by Chilliwack resident Glen Pinchin and the play is directed by Megan Mackenzie, a regular in Chilliwack theatre circles. The Great Depression saw worldwide economic decline in the decade preceding World War II. The timing varied across nations, but it hit the hardest after the stock market crash in 1929. It raised the unemployment rate and everyone saw a Continued: FIVE/ p36

Dance like the world is watching national team last spring started the ball rolling. She found out in an email that she made the first cut. A second audition in June clinched it, even though it was intimidating to dance with so many potential critics watching her every move. “It was scary knowing that everything was on the line at that audition.” At the end of this week she’ll be wowing the crowd at Team Canada’s preview show on Friday, Nov. 29 at the Massey Theatr. Three dancers from Creative Outlet dance studio who made
it onto the team are heading to Poland for the Worlds, while two others are flying to Germany for tap competitions. Many more from the Fraser Valley were proud they made the national team as well. In Poland, Sierra will be compete in modern, ballet and jazz styles. “We do lots of competitions at home, but going to the Worlds is definitely going to be different,” she says. What will she do to combat nerves? “I’ll probably try to breathe, and not stress about it.” Sierra’s mom, Kris Sward, says

she couldn’t be more proud of her daughter, who only started dancing four years ago, as well as the other dancers from Chilliwack. She’ll accompany them on the trip. “I’m looking forward to seeing them on stage,” she said. “We’ll have a big Canadian flag and t-shirts. “The people I speak to about it say it’s the Olympics of dance.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
Driveway goes Hollywood!
Zack Spencer reveals what turned his head week with a visit to the glitzy 2013 Los Angeles Auto Show, Alexandra Straub looks at what’s cool, Bob McHugh goes green and Keith Morgan sneaks a peek at a racy compact concept. Check out the full script at drivewayBC.ca
LA-LA Land auto extravaganza LOS ANGELES – The Los Angeles Auto Show is full of eye-popping sights and some even include cars! It’s not difficult to have your head turned but it is a challenge to pick one’s top picks but I’m for the challenge. Nissan GT-R Nismo Nissan stole the show with not only one of the fastest cars in the world but the fastest man in the world. Olympic gold medalist and world record holder Usain Bolt was on hand as Nissan’s Director of Excitement. Usain was clearly taken with the new GT-R Nismo, there were also promises to get him one to replace his gold coloured GT-R. Power has been pumped up to 600hp taking this new Nismo version to 100 km/h in just two seconds. Look for the new GT-R in the spring of 2014. I suspect Usain will get his a bit earlier. Chevrolet Colorado The mid-size pickup truck market has been all but abandoned by the domestic automakers over the last few years leaving this category entirely to Toyota and Nissan with the Tacoma and Frontier trucks. Wait until next year and the choice will include the all-new Colorado from Chevrolet. Building off the success of the all-new full-size Silverado, the engineers have taken the same approach to this new truck. On the economy front, eventually there will be three engines to choose from. Out of gate, there is the base 2.5L 4-cylinder engine or a 3.6L V6. Subaru WRX Fans of the Subaru WRX will be very excited about the arrival of an all-new car but maybe a bit disappointed that this production model
doesn’t look very much little the sleek and sexy concept that was unveiled earlier this year. It should prove to be a capable car thanks to an all-new direct injection 2.0L 4-cylinder putting out 268hp and matched to the first 6-speed in the WRX. Subaru Legacy Concept A head Zack Spencer turning design that my sources tell me looks a lot like the production car. The metallic, almost chrome looking paint, certainly helps to make the car pop but the bold front grille and macho stance could very well be included in the final version. Lincoln MKC Lincoln has a long and distinguished history as an American premium brand but over the last few decades, it has been an extension of existing Ford products using different badging and trim. There is now a long-term plan to resurrect the Lincoln brand with all-new vehicle that use some Ford components but are developed separately from the main Ford line of products. The compact crossover MKC shares a platform with the Ford Escape but has been designed and engineered to be a very different car. The design, other than the trademark Lincoln grille is very European and the back wrap-around hatch is maybe Audi-inspired. Standard in Canada will be all-wheel-drive and adaptive suspension, matched to a 6-speed automatic transmission.
CHILLIWACK FORD
BMW 4 Series Cabriolet BMW has changed its naming: the 3 Series is now the sedan only while the coupe and convertible version are now called 4 Series. The all-new cabriolet is wider and features a new three-piece retractable hardtop and for the first time X-Drive AWD is now available on the convertible models. Interior refinements include a new neck warmer to that blows a steady stream of warm air on the front passengers neck and shoulders, helping to elongate the convertible season. Porsche Macan This small SUV is based on the same platform as the Audi Q5. This lower, sleeker and much more aggressive Macan will attract a lot of attention based purely on looks. Porsche made it very clear that this is not juts a Porsche in name but also in performance. Look for the Macan coming next year. Jaguar F-Type Jaguar made a big splash with the Jaguar F-Type convertible this year and next year we look forward to the coupe version, a dynamite looking coupe with a stunning silhouette and improved dynamics thanks to a stiffer body. The body of the car is built with extensive use of aluminum to produce the stiffest Jaguar ever made. This is one heart-pounding coupe I cannot wait to try.

How to get noticed at the LA Auto Show If you’re a sexy snake, that’s automatic grounds for attention. The SRT Viper GTS was on display, but it wasn’t just any old venomproducing reptile. It came with the Anodized Carbon Special Edition Package. Aside from 640 horsepower and 600 lb.-ft. of torque being produced from its handcrafted, all-aluminum 8.4-litre, mid-front V10, it comes with the first-ever use for the Chrysler Group’s
LOS ANGELES: Tinseltown. Hollywood. LA. No matter what you call it, it’s a city of millions and it’s easy to get lost in the crowd. But not if you’re attractive, have a great body and well, you shine. With hundreds of vehicles showcased at the Los Angeles Auto Show, it takes a lot to stand out amongst the plethora of sparkling sheet metal, which is constantly detailed by show workers.
Godzilla takes on the NISMO (aka NISsan MOtorsport) badge with a healthy helping of 600-horsepower and some defining exterior features.

Speaking of fast things, you don’t get any faster on feet than Usain Bolt does. And if you’re paired next to Nissan’s fastest production GT-R to date, that’s an even more potent combination. Godzilla takes on the NISMO (aka NISsan MOtorsport) badge with a healthy helping of 600-horsepower and some defining exterior features. In regards to its body, it’s more rigid than before and you’ll also find it has a “factory tuned” enhanced suspension. The aero package, which not only looks good, also improves road holding, minimizes the negative impact of drag, while giving the car a menacing and muscular appearance. If you’re a luxury German vehicle and you have a worldwide debut in LA, chances are you’ll draw quite the A-List crowd. The all-new Porsche Macan did such a thing, with visitors such as Jerry Seinfeld and professional tennis player, Maria Sharapova. The Indonesian word for tiger, it’s the first Porsche in the compact SUV segment. Or you could say it’s the baby brother to the popular-selling Cayenne. Either way, they’re both have some spice to them! Two renditions of Macan will be available: the

Building blocks for a future car that will drive itself LOS ANGELES: While most driving enthusiasts do not recognize the advent of a self-driving car as a good thing, drivers who have to endure crowded urban parking lots and the drudgery of stop-n-go highway commutes, on a daily basis, probably have a very different view. The fully autonomous car may never become a reality for non-technical reasons. We are, however, seeing layer upon layer of new technologies that certainly move things along in that general direction and could make it technically feasible, and perhaps production feasible on a restricted basis. The new Ford Edge Concept revealed at Los Angeles Auto Show included two interesting automated driving technology advances that are currently under development by Ford ... self-parking and obstacle avoidance systems. What’s different about this advanced self-park technology is that it allows an owner to do it from outside the vehicle with a push-button remote. The vehicle can be automati-

This new system builds on Ford’s current active park assist feature, which is restricted to parallel parking situations and uses ultrasonic sensors.

If the driver fails to steer or brake, the system automatically brake and steer the Edge around the object. “Democratized technology� is an expression used frequently by Ford engineers.

Compact concept has look and performance promise of a champ of coupe, hatchback, and crossover body styles and, like Vettel’s racecar, there’s liberal use of carbon fibre throughout. That makes it a very light, aerodynamic and
thus potentially high-performing and economical car. Interestingly, I’m told the designers combined Italian coachwork with the Japanese art of calligraphy to create
the lightweight design. Inside, cream and bronze leather features with violet bespoke tailoring, along with contrasting matte and gloss finished metalwork.
Sculpted ceramics are integrated into the upper front seatbacks housing speakers for a “symphonic audio experience.” It offers a level of technologies and
features not typically found in compact cars, such as the Infiniti InTouch infotainment system, which uses two touch screens. Infiniti claims it expects
significant growth in the compact premium segment among young-minded affluent customers. Note the continued on page 34

Sebastian Vettel’s involvement and input on performance specifications suggest this will be no slouch in takeoff and handling.
LOS ANGELES – Four-time Formula One champion driver Sebastian Vettel has his fingerprints all over the Infiniti Q30 Concept on display at this city’s international auto show. If that were literally the case, the detailing crew constantly cruising the show floor would soon remove his dabs. However, the hands-on impressions of the InfinitiRed Bull racer are more than skin deep, extending deep into the performance of the sporty compact. No powerplant details have been revealed for the car that will start rolling off the production line in early 2015 at Infiniti’s first European-based plant in the northeast UK city of Sunderland. However, Vettel’s involvement and input on performance specifications suggests this will be no slouch in takeoff and road handling. The Q30 Concept is the first model that the 26-year-old German driver has influenced from start-tofinish in his role as Infiniti’s Director of Performance. And a few words on that before we take a look at the sleek auto’s design. My cynical colleagues have suggested publicly that Vettel’s title is no more than a marketing ploy, with Vettel filling no more than a celebrity spokesman role. It is most certainly not the case, based on my private conversations with some Infiniti engineers. Just prior to my arrival for a drive with the young phenom on a French track this past spring, he had secretly put a number of Infiniti products and competitors through their paces and given immediate trackside input on suggested adjustments. In fact, one engineer told me Vettel is remarkable in the way he can do one lap and return with a complete commentary on how a car performed on every part of the track. If the F1 gig doesn’t work out there’s maybe a new career opp for him in the near future! The Q30 Concept is a fusion

Note the reference to young minded. “The Infiniti Q30 Concept is highly predictive of a new head-turning premium compact that we will launch in early 2015,” said Michael Bartsch, vice-president, Infiniti Americas. “Research among the new generation of buyers - with Gen X and Gen Y soon to represent 80 percent of the market - shows an increasing rejection of traditional notions toward premium cars. These buyers are less willing to connect size, presence and high-output power as key ingredients of the premium product.

They’ve been tapping up a storm to get ready. Chaperones from Western Canada are accompanying 34 young tap dancers to Germany next week to compete in the World Championships of Tap. The choreographers for the team are Kara Engle, and Mickaela McAuliffe of Winnipeg, who has been flying down to the Lower Mainland every second weekend to prepare them. “Between the two of us we have choreographed nine routines to compete in Germany - solos, duets, trios, small groups, and large formation teams,” says Engle. The dancers from Chilliwack include: Lexi Barr (11), Brittany Jackson (12), Dana Bell (12), Alana Cross (15), Hannah Renaud (15), Alyssa Kish (16), who all dance at Creative Outlet in Chilliwack. Kaylee Engle (13) dances at Dance In Motion in Abbotsford, and Hana Dalton-Thompson (17) trained at DanceWorx, also in Abbotsford. “All eight of these girls auditioned in August to become a part of the team.” The team also comprises dancers from Abbotsford, Por t Coquitlam, Langley, Nelson, and even some out-of-province competitors from Calgary and Saskatchewan. “The girls all take at least two tap classes a week in the studio, as well as also spending their weekends in rehearsal with the rest of the team. Success isn’t an accident. “It takes this type of dedication in order to be a part of Team Canada, and I would attribute this hard work to their success, as well as their love for tap. “Though all of these dancers participate in other styles of dance, their heart and strength lies mainly with tap.” What will the judges be looking for? “The judges in Germany will be looking simply for perfection. It is a combination of the execution of the tap steps, as well as the performance and entertainment factor which will help them score well. “If these girls dance well, they will perform their routines a total of three times; starting at the quarter-finals, then the semi-finals, with the ultimate goal being to make it into finals and earn their spot on the podium.”

my community is a healthy community...
“
My personal journey began at age 30 when I found myself considerably overweight and suffering health challenges as a result. I started with baby steps but very soon new habits became a way of life. My wife and I make healthy living a priority because we believe prevention is the best way to take care of your body. The health care system is over whelmed and educating children on how to live a healthy life from the beginning is the only way we can change the future. Organizations like the Chilliwack Hospital & Health Care Foundation are essential to a better community and a better life. I challenge everyone to learn what CHHCF is doing, support them and start making the changes to live a healthy life.”

Why simply setting a goal is not enough Many experts, including myself, recommend setting goals. Goals are important, but often goal setting is the easy part. New Years Resolutions are a great example. You are excited and energized about new plans, new possibilities. Setting a goal may be as far as you get. Or, you may work toward it for a week or two, then get off track, never to get back on the path to success. What is the difference between those who are successful and those who fail? Here’s why. Life is busy. It’s that simple. Things get in the way. You lose focus; priorities change, or you may even

enough, the how is not usually a problem”. The stronger the emotional connection to your goal, the greater your ability is to overcome barriers. For example, a goal may be to remove processed food from your diet. If the only reason is because someone once said it’s bad for you, you may have trouble sticking to it. However, if its because you are tired of feeling bloated, and lethargic, and want to have energy to play with your kids when they come home from school, you will have a stronger adherence to your plan. 2. Be laser focused on your goal. I honestly believe that
forget about your goal altogether. If you want to be successful, you need to do more than simply a set a goal. Tanja Here are SHAW seven things you must do to achieve your goal. 1. Find your emotional why. In my last article I listed finding your ‘why’ as one of the principles for success. It is worth mentioning again. Dennis Waitley wrote “if the why is strong
the reason many people fail to reach their goal is because they simply forget about them. The first step, of course, is #1 in this article. Next, is to review your goal daily. Write out your goal on a card, and carry it with you everywhere you go. Set reminders on your phone to read your goals on a daily basis.
Become intimate with your goals! Personally, I set time aside to review my goals weekly, and then schedule a time each day to work on my goal. 3. Measure. You cannot improve what you cannot measure. The “M” of SMART goal setting is

Instead of only focusing on the negatives (I ate too much, I should have said no to dessert at dinner, etc.) start to give yourself credit for your successes, as little as they may seem. 7. Have support. I have learned to stop trying to learn everything on my own; I seek out other people who are doing what I want to do, and I do what they are doing. One common trait of everyone who I see who is successful is they surround themselves with a support system. To successfully reach your goal, build a solid support network. Align yourself with friends, or family who will truly support you and help you progress toward your goal. While setting a goal is an important first step, simply setting a goal is not enough. Follow the seven steps to be successful!

ups and downs on the path to reaching your goal. But, anything worth having is worth fighting for. An example is during our 21-Day Challenge in May. One participant stuck with the program to a tee, but only lost 0.4 pounds in her first week. She was devastated, and in tears. Consciously she knew (and I reiterated) that weight fluctuates, and two weigh-ins only a week apart do not tell the whole story. She had tried so hard, yet didn’t see the results she was expecting. After a long conversation, I encouraged her to stick with the program. She did, and at her next weigh-in her hard work paid off with a 6-pound weight loss. 6. Celebrate successes on the path to your goal. We are tough on ourselves, period. We constantly think we should be doing better, or berate ourselves for ‘slipping up’. This mindset is stressful, which is counterproductive to reaching most goals, and especially health and wellness related goals.

the weight back because the plan she was on made it impossible to socialize, to go out on holidays, or eat anything that tasted good, and she was unhappy. Unfortunately, she decided to pass on the challenge, so I never had the opportunity to show her that there is a way to lose weight, keep it off, and love life! Setting a goal is a good start, but in order to achieve the goal you need to take action and get on a program that works- for you. You may lose weight by eating only vegetables and chili powder, but you’ll have a tough time sticking with it. When it comes to health and fitness, a complete program includes a sound nutrition program, resistance training, cardiovasulcar conditioning, flexibility training and coaching and support. 5. Expect ups and downs. When you set a goal, a set back can deflate your excitement. You may wonder ‘is it worth it?’ or ‘I failed, what’s the point of going on?’. Expect that you will have

Goalie let go The Chiefs play three games in less than 48 hours. In that time they could very well be facing three division leaders, writes Jacob Bestebroer
From a dominating preseason win over Mission in June to Saturday’s Subway Bowl game against Parksville, this season has been a wild ride for Baker Douglas (white jersey) and his GW Graham junior Grizzlies.
Parksville stands in GWG’s provincial path For the second straight year, a GW Graham team is taking part in the Subway Bowl, championship day for high school football. The junior varsity Grizzlies take on the Ballenas Whalers (Parksville) in a game that kicks off at 10:30 a.m. at BC Place Stadium. A win gives GWG its first ever provincial banner, but the Whalers will be no pushover. They went 3-1 during the regular season, averaging 33 points with a balanced offence. “They are a very capable running team, with a couple of strong running backs who excel in counters and off-tackle runs,” said GWG head coach Laurie Smith. “Their offensive line is one of the best we’ve seen on film. They come out of their stances really quick and
they’re very disciplined.” The Whalers’ strength plays into a potential GWG weakness. If the Grizzly defence has struggled with anything this year, it’s misdirection. “We run a simple 4-4 defence where the defensive line creates a moving wall and the linebackers fill gaps,” Smith said. “With our scheme, it shouldn’t be a problem, but we have been exposed against misdirection.” All the coaching staff can do is emphasize being disciplined and assignment sure. If the Grizzly D can handle the Whaler offence, the Grizzly O could have a big day. The four headed monster of Jordon Breuker, Billy Hanson, Tristan Davis and Emerson Smith ran roughshod over opposing
defenses this year. If the Whalers have a great offensive line, GWG is in the conversation with big boys like Jake Troyan, Vincent Braunauer, Elijah Schellenberg, Michael Lengert, Jaren Lengert, Braydon Winger, Dakota Mathers and Liam McCormick. “We’ll have some wrinkles in the game-plan, but we know what works (the running game) and I’m nervous about changing anything at this point in the season,” Smith noted. The biggest challenge for the Grizzly coaching staff won’t be in the X’s and O’s, but with the mental side. Thinking back to last year’s Grade 8 team at provincials, Smith recalls them being too awestruck at the process. “They were all staring
at the roof and the bleachers and the big screen, and even when the game started they still looked stunned,” Smith recalled. “I don’t expect that from the kids who were there last year, but we might have to control it a bit with our Grade 10’s.” Smith and company will try to have them keyed up, but not so keyed up that they make mistakes. “We’ve talked to them about playing with heart and passion, and they’ve really ramped it up lately,” Smith said. “There is a danger they’ll get too excited and commit errors, so our focus at practice this week has been minimizing mental mistakes.” Follow ProgressSports on Twitter for live gameday tweeting and see next week’s Progress for a full game report.
Grade 8 Grizzlies stomp Skyhawks for title The GW Graham Grade 8 Grizzlies won a President’s Cup title Tuesday, downing Langley’s HD Stafford Skyhawks 36-22. Von Richardson was a one-man wrecking crew for the victors. The two-way star scored all five GWG touchdowns, plus a two-point convert. He
added an interception on defence. Jake Troyan and Tyler Kermode also had twopoint convert runs out of the single-wing offence as the Grizzlies erased a 14-0 halftime deficit. The GWG defence was dominant in the second half.
Shane Claridge helped out with a fumble recovery. Jesse Hough and Jared Pitkethly made tackles all over the field. The President’s Cup is a tier-II AA trophy, not quite at the level of the provincial final this team reached last year. Still, coach Sean Roach
said his crew was thrilled with the win. “They acted like they won the Super Bowl, yelling and screaming and dousing me with big jug of water,” he laughed. “And on the bus ride home, several times they broke out in song, singing ‘We are the Champions.”
The Chilliwack Chiefs made a move to alleviate their crowded crease situation earlier this week, 20-year-old releasing Lyndon Stanwood. It’s tough to see such a class act go. Stanwood had high expectations coming over from Trail in an offseason trade. He was up and down through 13 appearances, posting a 2-10-1 record w ith a 4.14 goals-against with average and .900 save percentage. The move leaves the Chiefs with 19-year-old Spencer Tremblay and 18yyear-old ear-old Chilliwack native JJosh osh Halpenny as their goaltenders. The goalies and their teammates face a tough w eekend. Or, as Chandler weekend. Bing would say “Could this weekend BE any tougher?” The Chiefs will play three games in less than 48 hours. In that time they could very well be facing three division leaders. Friday night the league leading Powell River Kings (19-4-1-1) visit Prospera Centre. Kings general manager and head coach Kent Lewis continues to do a great job. Congrats to him for recently joining Chiefs head coach Harvey Smyl and Victoria Grizzlies head coach Bill Bestwick as the only bench bosses to have been behind the bench for 1,000 BCHL games and earn 500 wins. Saturday, Chilliwack makes their lone trip of the regular season to Penticton. The Vees lead the Interior Division with 36 points but that might change prior to Saturday’s game as only five points separate the top five teams in that division. There is a fan bus going and there are a few spots left. Call the Chiefs office
if you are interested in going. The game is a 6 p.m. start. The Chiefs finish the weekend with a Sundayy afternoon game in Langley. The Rivermen were just one point back of the Prince George Spruce Kings heading into lastt night’s game in Prince George. Langley’s schedule isn’tt much easier as they are in Penticton Friday and Westt Kelowna Saturday. On the topic of formerr Chiefs, you’ll see on page A51 of today’s sports section that former Chieff goalie Mitch Gillam had a memorable NCAA debut. The first goalie otherr than Andy Iles to start a Cornell game in the lastt 81, Gillam got the win plus an empty net goal. After scoring the goal and having his teammates congratulated him, theyy went for the routine fly byy of the bench to celebrate. Usually, the goal scorerr leads that parade, and afterr letting his teammates gett ahead of him en-route to the bench, Gillam quickly y skated around them and made sure he led the way. You can see the video on the Chiefs website att chilliwackchiefs.net. Lastly, the Chiefs have launched their annual Christmas Gift Pack. Forr $49.95 including tax, itt includes four ticket vouchers good for any Chiefs regular season home game this season plus a $25 gift card for the Chiefs store. With it you also have the option to buy two tickets for $5 to the Chiefs Dec. 29 game vs Surrey. All details and the orderr form can be found on the Chiefs site. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

under their belts, they have a veteran feel to them. “All of the big moments where we had to win just to get to provincials, then playing in the big stadium (Langley Events Centre), we learned a lot about what it takes,” Northey said. And where the Falcons might have been just happy to be there in 2013 (though they’d never say it), there’s a sense this season that an invite to the dance won’t be enough. “I know for myself, this is probably the last time I’ll be able to play competitive basketball,” Northey said. “So I’m dreaming big and working hard.” Graves’ biggest challenge this year will be managing expectations — keeping his team focused on the ultimate prize while also keeping the game fun. “It’ll be on me to make sure it’s not about winning every game so much as learning from every game,” he said. “The boys have to enjoy this experience. Even though it’s a four month season, it’ll go by really quick.”

There is a different vibe around the Sardis Falcons as the 2013-14 senior boys basketball season gets set to start. Words like provincials and contenders are dropped into any conversation with coach Kyle Graves. His players say the same things, and when you look them in the eye, you can see that they really believe. They think their team is destined for greatness. When the season is done, it will be them sitting atop the heap as BC provincial champions. Never has a Falcons team set out with such lofty expectations. “Four out of the top 15 teams are in our league, so we’ll know where we’re at by the end of January,” Graves said. “I think talent wise we’re right there as one of the top two or three teams in the province. It’s just going to be confidence and mental toughness that separates the teams.” After an eighth place finish at last spring’s provincial tournament, Sardis enters this year ranked No. 5. The only teams ahead of them are the Tamanawis Wildcats (Surrey), W.J.Mouat Hawks (Abbotsford, Yale Lions (Abbotsford) and Walnut Grove Gators (Langley).

Goalie Gillam gets a goal for Big Red Former Chilliwack Chiefs stopper Mitch Gillam earned his first win for the Cornell men’s hockey team Tuesday, backstopping them to a 4-2 win over the Niagara Purple Eagles. Gillam also made team history, becoming the first Cornell goaltender to score a goal. With nine seconds left, his team up a goal and
Niagara’s goalie pulled for the extra attacker, Gillam came out of his cage and floated the puck the length of the ice into the unguarded Niagara net. Gillam makes a habit of scoring at least one goal per season. The Peterborough native netted one last year during a BCHL match between his Chiefs and the Surrey
Eagles. Gillam is easing into NCAA hockey this season, playing backup

The Cascades trailed 50-30 at halftime and never got much closer, despite having four of five starts hit double digits in scoring. Jasper Moedt’s 12 points led the team. Kadeem Wills had 11 points, with Klaus Figueredo, Kevin Ford and Manjohd Dulay picking up 10 apiece. Kevon Parchment’s 10 rebounds was tops on the team. The Cascades fared no better in an 83-62 loss to the Saskatchewan Huskies Saturday. UFV was out-scored 54-30 in the second and third quarters.

July 29, 1922-Nov 23, 2013 Henry was born in Somerset, England. He is survived by his wife Lillian MacGillvery; sons, Tom, (Penny) Reed and Craig (Rosemary) Reed; daughter, Gail (Tom) Schmidt. Henry is predeceased by his son Dennis Reed. He had 9 grandchildren and 9 great grandchildren. A graveside service will be held at the Legion Cemetery, 1:00pm on Friday, November 29, 2013, 2895 Quarry Rd.
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our loving Mum, Nana, Sister, Aunt and Friend, Mary Lou Loewen on November 24, 2013 at Chilliwack B.C. Survived by her children; Patti (Randy) Isaak; Tony (Tracey) Poulsen; Karen (Harry) Hubner; Lori (John) Pazar. Her grandchildren; Dustin (Amy), Dayna (Rob), Eric, Travis, Amber, Jessie, Alex, Jakob and Paige. Great grandchildren; Madyson, Mackenna, Gavin, Anora, Kassidy and Kyla. Special friend Arne, four brothers; Dick (Joyce); Bob (Ada); Tim (Joan); Steven (Sylvia), one sister; Betty and sister-in-law Jean, several nieces and nephews , a large extended family, and many wonderful friends. Predeceased by her husband Jake, brother Ron, brother-inlaw Gordon, niece Nancy, and both her parents. Mum was born on May 6th, 1942 in East Angus Quebec, and moved to B.C. at a young age. She spent her working years in the food industry in Chilliwack working in or managing several businesses including Geordies Drive-in, Smitty’s Pancake House, Younies Restaurant, The Birchwood and Lynnwood Retirement Residences, and also the Pointa Vista Cafe in which she owned and operated. Mum loved to play cards and enjoyed her many trips to the casino, but by far her greatest joy in life came from spending time with her children, grandchildren, family, and friends.

General Nursery Labourer
It is with great sadness that we announce the sudden passing of Joyce Massey in the loving arms of her husband, Wayne, in Chilliwack, BC. Joyce was born in Sneek, Netherlands and immigrated with her parents to Stoney Creek, Ontario when she was a young child. Naturally compassionate and nurturing, Joyce eventually became a nurse at St. Joseph’s hospital in Hamilton. This is where she met her adoring husband, Wayne, while caring for his father. Wayne knew he would marry her the moment he met her and proposed in short order. They raised their four children in and around Hamilton before finally settling in British Columbia in 1994, making Chilliwack their home. Wayne and Joyce were valued members of the Chilliwack Alliance Church as well as Ruth and Naomi’s Mission, where Joyce spent many hours in service to the community’s needy and homeless citizens. She was gentle and kind and happiest when surrounded by her large family, who she adored. Joyce was an amazing Mom, an awesome Grandma, and the best wife a man could ever ask for. We all miss her terribly. Joyce was predeceased by her parents, Dorothy and George Mollinga and brother Gerrit. She is survived by her devoted husband of 43 years, Wayne, and their children, Scott (Laura), Ken (Kimberly), Joanne Powley (Jon), and Jeff (Darcie). She was beloved Grandma to Lola, Sarah, Ethan and Everleigh. Joyce also leaves behind her siblings, Michael (Laureen), George, Tom, and Dorothy (Jim) Inksetter.
