Russian CNG deal a ‘huge opportunity’ for IMW
■ H EALTH A ND S AFETY
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Export superstars IMW Industries are about to see a significant upswing in production from its Chilliwack location. “It’s an extremely exciting time at IMW,” says Dave Orton, senior VP global business development and marketing for IMW Industries. IMW, a wholly owned subsidiary of Clean Energy Fuels, inked a partnership agreement with Russian Machines Corp. to produce compressors from its global headquarters and manufacturing plant in Chilliwack. “This agreement represents a huge opportunity in a massive market, and we’ve just nailed the perfect partner,” said Orton. The fact that Russian Machines have power and influence necessary to “reach well into the CIS market, and are aligned in similar industry, making CNG buses and light commercial vehicles,” bodes well, he said. The agreement will lead to an increased Continued: IMW/ p5

Chilliwack mayor responds to waste recycling plant critics Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack city council is defending its unanimous approval this week of a controversial waste recycling facility near the Fraser River. As threats of legal action swirled, Mayor Sharon Gaetz said Wednesday those opposed to the facility are simply misinformed. Council gave fourth and final reading Tuesday of a rezoning proposal for a waste recycling and transfer facility at 7582 Cannor Road. Critics say they value the recycling work the Ontario-based applicant Aevitas is known for, but not the proposed location in the heavy industrial Cattermole lands.
The threat of legal action sprang up this week about details around the city’s hearing notice from a coalition of groups opposed, who say they are also worried that an accidental spill could impact the Fraser River. Unfortunately there is a clear lack of understanding about the City of Chilliwack rezoning process and the actual safeguards proposed for the site, said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “I get that some would not fully understand our process,” she said. “But what has been frustrating and unwelcome is the desire to twist information around. “Look, we on council all want a safe community, and we all want to make sure we look after the environment,” she said.
Strict rules guide council when conducting a rezoning hearing. That’s what kept them from answering questions following the Dec. 3 hearing, certainly not a Machiavellian desire to push something unpopular through city hall quickly, she emphasized. “If we’ve been silent on this, it was because we had to be silent under the legislation,” she told The Progress. “We never tried to circumvent any questions.” Council had to be careful not to take in any new information between the third and fourth readings. But in the wake of the coalition clamouring for answers about why the riverside location on Cannor Road was chosen, Mayor Gaetz is
trying to clear the air with facts. It’s only now that she can speak publicly. The only window for public input was the public rezoning hearing on Dec. 3, she underlined. Council acts in a quasi-judicial capacity during these hearings. To offer the public additional time or considerations would not be fair. They have to conduct hearings, and the notification for them, the same way each and every time, said Gaetz. The Aevitas facility is gearing up to build a state-of-the-art recycling operation employing 40 to 50 people, not a toxic dump of any kind, she said, as some have erroneously suggested. With myriad and multi-layered environmental safeguards in place,
council felt confident about its controversial decision. Engineering staff made it clear to council that the distance of the facility from the river, which is about 150 metres, is a sufficient distance from which to operate this recycling plant safely. The location was chosen by the applicant, but city officials hold the view that is acceptable and expect Aevitas to be able to operate safely. “Given the interconnectedness of all major waterways in Fraser River watersheds, no other location in Chilliwack, or throughout the Lower Mainland for that matter, would be inherently safer than this one for the facility,” she said.

Cuts to veteran services continue to draw fire Jessica Peters Black Press Changes to how veterans can access services have come under fire over the last week, after several offices were closed across the country and responsibility shifted into the hands of Service Canada workers. Veterans across the country protested as eight Veterans Affairs offices were closed, including those in Kelowna and Prince George. By this Monday, all NDP, Liberals and independent members of parliament were calling for them to be re-opened. They also urged the Harper government to immediately
address the mental health crisis facing Canadian soldiers and veterans by hiring appropriate mental health professionals, and to prioritize and conclude more than 50 military suicide inquiries. That vote failed, with all Conservative MPs voting against it, including Chilliwack Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl. In a phone interview from Ottawa on Tuesday, Strahl said the changes to Veterans Affairs operations are misunderstood. “We think this is largely an administrative change,” he said, and services that were once available in those VAC offices will now be available
in Service Canada offices. In many cases, the offices were housed in the same building. This shift adds up to little change for the veterans in the Fraser Valley, who will still have to travel to Vancouver to visit the closest VAC office. However, in the same restructuring, more than 600 Service Canada offices will now be equipped to help veterans with their paperwork, accessing services, Internet support, and other administrative duties. That service will be available at the downtown Chilliwack Service Canada office by this week, Strahl said.
■ P UZZLE P REPARATION
Likewise, he assured that Veterans Affairs case workers and registered nurses will continue to be available to veterans who are unable to travel to a VAC or Service Canada location. “That service will not change,” he said. Despite these assurances, many see the changes as a slow disarming of Veterans Affairs. Chilliwack veteran Bernie McNicholl is among them. He feels sympathetic for those veterans across the country who are now without their familiar offices, and for those who already have to travel great distances to access services. There are many services available
online, but he knows that many veterans don’t even own a computer. While McNicholl has a bad knee from his time in service, he’s thankful to be able to walk and get around to appointments. He often can be found sharing his stories with today’s youth, talking about his time as a rear gunner on 38 missions with the Royal Canadian Air Force, as well as time spent in the Canadian Army, operating tanks in the Gaza Strip. McNicholl’s father was a First World War vet, and he has two sons that served in recent conflicts – one of which came home from Afghanistan needing two hearing aids. They are Continued: CHANGES/ p14
School district earns top marks for energy
Members of the Friends of the Library sort more than 3,000 puzzles for their annual jigsaw puzzle sale fundraiser on Wednesday.

Chilliwack school district has earned an A+ for energy savings. The school district received two significant accolades at Tuesday’s board meeting – both for energy conservation. BC Hydro was first to recognize the district’s successes with a commemorative plaque. Since becoming a partner with BC Hydro’s Energy Manager Program in 2009, the district has saved over $1.5 million in energy costs – enough savings to pay for the electricity consumed at both Sardis secondary and Chilliwack secondary. “The Chilliwack school district’s partnership with BC Hydro is saving them money, helping them reduce their electricity consumption, and helping them create a conservation culture throughout the district,” said BC Hydro representative Wayne Cousins.
The district was also awarded School District of the Year for the 2012-13 school year from Destination Conservation. Destination Conservation is a student-driven program highlighting environmental education that operates in both B.C. and Alberta. The program is designed to increase sustainability by helping schools conserve energy and water, reduce waste and protect the environment. The 2012-13 school year was the first year Chilliwack had been involved. Faye Duffill, DC program coordinator, told the board that Chilliwack was chosen for its enthusiasm and full district support – from students, staff, and administration. The DC partnership is a multiyear program. This year, Chilliwack is working on water conservation projects.
Council confident recycling plant won’t pose threat to river THREAT from Front In other words whether the facility site was 150 metres from the river, or 1,500 metres, there would be similar vulnerability in the event of a major disaster, either catastrophic flood or earthquake. As a high-hazard facility it would have to be built to withstand earthquakes, even the “big one” threatening the West Coast. Storm water flows would not go directly into the river, she countered, but into a ditch and then staff could close a valve at the pump station, responding if necessary. Critics who took issue with the M6 special industrial zoning designation, according to Mayor Gaetz, are not aware that it not only further restricts the use at the site, but also gives the
SINCE 1973
LOCALLY OWNED & OPERATED
city authority for more enforcement and monitoring. “It’s another layer of protection.” Containment specifications found within provincial regulations and standards would have to be met, and Aevitas, has pledged several safeguards that the opposition has seemed to be ignoring. There are plans to install a clay liner, as well as secondary containment ability. Storage areas will be covered, and storm water goes into a containment well that’s valved off. “What people don’t seem to understand is that this recycling facility takes things that are lying around in people’s backyards and basements, and safely recycles these materials.” The proposal by Aevitas would see transformer oils re-used and recycled, as well as mercury removed from light bulbs and lamps.

“If we had a flood or other disaster where do you think this stuff, which is laying around at home, would go without this recycling plant? It would get into the river.” The proposed location within Cattermole Estates on Cannor Road, already saw heavy industrial use through the years, with adjacent parcels also compatible with heavy industry and special industrial uses. The remote location just off the highway also makes it perfect for transportation reasons, as trucks can access the site without having to go through residential or busy industrial areas. So the proposed M6 special industrial zoning, along with a restrictive covenant with its conditions was viewed as the “most appropriate zone” for this facility. “So from my perspective as mayor,
when council votes unanimously as it has done here, it means we are completely convinced that staff has done the work to keep us all safe, and council has done its homework.” The application has drawn fierce opposition from the critics who say the facility’s location poses a real threat to the nearby Fraser River. It has even drawn a letter from a B.C. Liberal MLA, as well as a visit by the B.C. NDP environment critic. About 30 members of a coalition of more than 20 groups opposed to the location were present as the vote was recorded and are angry about the decision. “We plan to challenge this in court,” said Glen Thompson, president of Friends of the Chilliwack River Valley, one of the groups in the coalition that includes First Nations, environment and river stewardship
groups. The coalition has been working with a lawyer for West Coast Environmental Law, who sent the city a last minute letter asking them not to approve fourth reading based on some questions about the notice procedure for the rezoning hearing on Dec. 3. Now that final adoption of the rezoning bylaw is approved there are plans to file in court after making a presentation to Metro Vancouver on Thursday, Thompson said. The waste plant, proposed by Aevitas Inc. which will recycle insulating oil and powdered mercury from lightbulbs among other activities, received unanimous council support at third reading, on Dec. 3. Fourth reading was also Continued: PLANT/ p27

number of stable jobs offered from Chillwack. It’s hard to say exactly how many new jobs, he said, but it will require more skilled labour, engineers and technologists. “We will be attracting a high calibre work force at good wages, with all the spinoff and benefits to the surrounding economy.” The deal also dovetails with the May 2013 Russian decree requiring conversion of 50 per cent of public transit and other vehicles to natural gas fuel by 2020, in cities with a population of more than one million people. “That’s a lot when you consider the sheer size of Russia,” said Orton. So is this technology the future? “You can’t open a paper these days without hearing about LNG or CNG,” he said. “It’s a lower cost fuel, that’s cleaner by a long shot. It just makes a lot of sense.” IMW officials just began doubling their global sales team. They now cover four regions that span the globe, and are in 26 countries.
This latest agreement has been underway for more than year. IMW of ficials announced details on Thursday of an exclusive distribution and customer care agreement with Russian Machines Corporation (RM), part of the Basic Element Group. RM will be the exclusive distributor of IMW compressors, compressed natural gas (CNG) filling solutions, parts, and sole provider of maintenance and service within the Russian Federation. “The Russian CNG vehicle market holds tremendous potential and the market for quality compressor equipment is expected to rapidly increase,” said Andrew J. Littlefair, president and CEO of Clean Energy. “As reported by Reuters in May 2013, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev’s May decree underscores the economic and environmental benefits a vibrant Russian CNG vehicle market would represent and we’re eager to help this market succeed.”

In France, love letters are called billet doux. The French are known to be romantics at heart, but that doesn’t mean people from all over the globe can’t put pen to paper to express their feelings. Handwritten letters are often seen as thoughtful gestures, especially when those letters are expressing intimate
sentiment. Here are some guidelines for writing a love note or letter. • Visit a stationery store and find a nice piece of stationery and envelope to use for the letter. If you are putting forth the effort to create a beautiful, handwritten letter, you can add to the experience by selecting a fine paper on which to write. There are many different types of paper, including some that are embossed. Some may even feature flower petals or leaves embedded in the paper. • Brush up on your penmanship. A letter will be rendered useless if it isn’t legible. Therefore, practice penmanship before sitting down to write your letter. • Have a picture of the

Two months ago in this space, we suggested Aevitas could have eased the outcry over its proposed recycling facility had it taken the time to introduce Chilliwack to the concept before it sought a rezoning. We stand by that suggestion. Here’s what could have happened: Back in October, the company holds a public open house, announcing its interest in establishing a state-of-the-art recycling plant in Chilliwack. It cites its 20-year record of leading the way in taking toxic materials out of the waste stream and away from landfills. It explains the process it uses – many developed by the company – to safely separate dangerous components, recycling and reusing whatever remains. It talks about how it collects the everyday items in our world, like compact fluorescent lightbulbs, and renders them safe by extracting minute contaminants under contained and closely monitored conditions. It outlines the design specifications of its facilities – measures that ensure there are multiple levels of containment should a spill occur; that the facility itself operates under negative air pressure and emissions are filtered and kept within a fraction of allowable limits. It talks about the 40 or 50 jobs that will result from its presence here, and the long term career opportunities the company offers. It explains how the skills and knowledge of a staff that works with hazardous goods would be shared with the community, ensuring a timely response by a specially trained team should an incident occur elsewhere in the region. Finally, it talks about the stringent regulatory regime it works under; the levels of federal, provincial and municipal laws it must follow; and how its own corporate ethos governs its actions and interactions with the community. Granted, these would have been only words. There is nothing to say they would have changed the minds of those who are vehemently opposed to the planned location. What it would have done is filled the silence left by the strict requirements of the zoning process – a silence that has since been filled with speculation, conjecture and hyperbole. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

From Vancouver 2010 to Sochi in 2014 Four years ago the biggest issue for the Vancouver Winter Olympics was packing the slopes with trucked-in snow. For Sochi’s Winter Olympics, it’s packing the slopes with security. Sochi is a sprawling resort city on the Black Sea near the Caucasus Mountains with a population of about 400,000. It is one of the rare places in Russia with a subtropical climate and the average February temperature is a balmy 8.3C, something like we had in January. It is the warmest city to host a Winter Olympics and it will be the first Games to be held in the Russian Federation since the break-up of the USSR in 1991. The city has been transformed with new indoor sports venues and the Sochi Olympic Park, all of them clustered around the central Medals Plaza. There are
new hotels, restaurants, and a broadcasting centre. All the skiing and sliding sports will be clustered in the nearby mountains in Krasnaya Polyana. If you think our budget in 2010 was high at $8 billion, Sochi started out at $12 billion seven years ago and topped $51 Margaret billion last year becoming the EVANS most expensive Olympics in history. This is one “first” no nation hosting future Games wants to match or better. As the Olympics get underway today, radical militants who want to see southern Russia an Islamic state continue to threaten to derail the Games. The search
continues for a dozen or more “black widows” whose loved ones have died in the Islamic fight against President Putin’s Russia and are bent on revenge. Almost all of them are part of Vilayat Dagestan, the group that has promised a “present” for the visiting tourists to Sochi. In the lead-up to the Olympics, three suicide bombings in Volgograd have registered high on the political Richter scale causing Russia to put the southern resort city on high alert. Frequent frisking, bomb detector dogs, endless electronic surveillance, 1,400 video cameras in downtown Sochi, 40,000 law enforcement officers from across Russia, and “situation centres” have Sochi in almost a lock-down. Over the past week, athletes from 204 countries have poured into Sochi armed with I.D. and

instructions to be vigilant and focused. The U.S. has parked its gunboats in the Black Sea and has warned some 15,000 Americans travelling to Sochi to take extra precautions. As the opening ceremonies get underway today, they might feel they are watching from a warzone. But in spite of all that, Canada’s team is in Sochi with the singular goal for excellence in the quest to top our Vancouver 2010 finish. Canada has sent 221 athletes, the best-prepared team yet to represent us at a winter games. The team is represented by athletes from nine provinces and two territories with Ontario sending 64, Alberta 56, Quebec 43 and B.C. 20 athletes. Plus we’re sending the most female athletes ever at 100 individuals with Hayley Wickenheiser as our flag-bearer. This is her sixth Olympics mak-
ing her a pretty experienced veteran. The success of the Vancouver Olympic Games is without doubt our hallmark. We finished first in the gold medal haul and third overall with 26 medals (14 gold, seven silver, and five bronze) behind the U.S. and Germany. That gold standard set a benchmark for our athletes to match or better at the Sochi event. Our athletes will compete in 93 out of the record 98 medal competitions in 15 winter sport disciplines. By contrast, there were 86 medal events in Vancouver. Some of the new events include women’s ski jumping, biathlon mixed relay, mixed team luge, half-pipe skiing, ski and snowboard slopestyle, and snowboard parallel slalom.
The next two weeks in Sochi promise to be thrilling. Go Canada!

Care taken in manure application Re: Manure on fields causes concern (Progress, Jan. 31) In reply to Dr. Jennifer Wilson’s letter regarding farmers spreading on fields, I would like thank her for her interest in protecting the environment and our groundwater. As a dairy farmer that has lived and farmed here most of my life and enjoyed our previously unchlorinated drinking water, amongst many other benefits of living in the beautiful Fraser Valley, I would like to point out a few facts. Almost all of the manure spread the last
couple weeks were on well-grown winter wheat or other cover crops planted after corn was harvested in the fall. Winter wheat becomes active at 5 degrees Celsius, cooler than grasses. Interestingly enough, some grass fields are starting to grow as well. We had a few days at over 10 degrees and the forecast was for more warm weather and no heavy rains. Two small applications of manure will be more effective as fertilizer with less runoff or leaching into the aquifer than one
large application later in spring, when we are also more likely to get heavy rains. Also important to note is that there are no commercial farms near the city’s water source, only developed land and subdivisions, some complete with septic systems. The reason that our water is so rigorously tested and results acted upon is from the Walkerton tragedy in 2000 which was much more of a failure of city officials than a pollution issue.
Thank You to our out-of-town teams for making this tournament a great sampling of Minor Hockey at the Atom level. + Abbotsford + Port Coquitlam + Vernon + Hope + Aldergrove + Seattle + Sno-King + Burnaby + Nanaimo + North Delta + West Kelowna

Concerns about manure and air quality I absolutely agree with Jennifer Wilson. The pollution in our fields needs to stop. It is astounding that there are no real regulations concerning the management and application of manure to the fields. Â This also has implications for air quality. There has been a fuss about the incinerator
installation, but never any mention of the aerated manure that we are forced to breath. When we smell ‘dairy air’, we are breathing in manure particles. That has physical implications for many who have existing lung conditions, or sensitivities, as well as being an aesthetic affront. When the hot summer days start to cool in the
evenings, it is about 20 minutes before the air becomes ripe with the manure stench. Surely, at minimum, there could be a more neighborly timing of the manure spreading. I asked the government representatives about this last year and apparently they were considering discussion of a manure/land ration, as
presently, with the herds increasing in size, more manure is still spread on the same acreage. At what point is there saturation, and loss of control over contamination of the water we drink and, as well, the air we breathe? Surely something could be done.

Column on video gaming appreciated This is a letter to Phil Mante who wrote “Teenagers learn much from video games� (Progress, Readers Write, Feb. 5). At first I was going to write to Eryn Wicker and thank her for a great column. As a mom not too up to date on current video games, I appreciate her insight and warnings as it gives me a heads up to what my 10-year-old boy is playing. In fact, I really hope she continues to write articles for The Progress. You, Phil, on the other hand, wrote a letter that is juvenile and makes no sense whatsoev-
er. Complaining that Eryn is an “angry soccer mom� just shows how sexist and out of touch you are. Her comments are that of a woman, and mom, who is concerned for her children and the children in our community. You cannot compare classic westerns to the murder, torture and drug abuse shown on modern video games. If someone jumps off a bridge will you do it too? Just because this horrible game Grand Theft Auto is out there doesn’t mean we should let our children use it. Frankly if an adult, or a
“veteran� of Grand Theft Auto like yourself, is spending their day playing video games with such cruelty and violence, perhaps this is the issue we should be addressing. In the meantime, the article Eryn wrote is to educate moms about what their children are playing because these games, meant for adults, is in fact being played by youth and as moms we must protect our children, whether we are “soccer moms� or not. Lisa Ghaffari
Is the brine on city roads really necessary? I assume the City of Chilliwack has an abundance of funds to use before the end of the fiscal year. There are city trucks spraying large amounts of calcium/salt on the roads. I followed a truck south on Ashwell/Evans/Tyson at 10:30 this morning. Why? There is next to no humidity, hence...no ice will form. Combined with the
east wind, the dust from the gravel truck traffic more than alleviates any moisture that may be on the road. Following the district truck today, the south-bound lane was a cloud of whatever they were spraying on the road and the northbound lane was a cloud of dust. My car was grey when I went to town. Now it’s white.
I’m not sure why the tax payers of Chilliwack should have to pay for this. When I look east, the brown cloud from the Promontory Road area that resembles something one would see in the Sahara should more than negate any possible but highly unlikely slippery road surfaces. Mike Dobson

a proud military family, and both McNicholl and his wife Pat enjoy discussing history, the politics of war, and the effects on soldiers. When a soldier showed signs of ‘weakness’ in the First World War, McNicholl said, they weren’t offered mental health services like they are today. Post traumatic stress disorder wasn’t understood, and neither were the nightmares, sweats, aggression, anxiety and depression that are now known as symptoms of the disorder. The ‘lucky’ ones were tossed out of the militar y, dishonourably discharged. Ranks were stripped and medals rescinded, and they received a new label – LMF. “Lack of Moral Fibre is what they called it,”

McNicholl said. PTSD, depression and soldier suicide are becoming more understood in this century, when compared to the horrors of the First and Second World Wars. By contrast, today there are nearly 400 mental health professionals working within the Canadian Forces – a number that Strahl agreed isn’t even enough to handle the workload, despite being the highest ratio of mental health workers to soldiers among the NATO allies. But PTSD is unavoidable, he adds, and soldiers are still coming home with severe mental health issues. Something as benign as seeing a man wearing a backpack could trigger PTSD in a soldier coming home from conflicts where suicide bombings are common. The number of unresolved soldier suicides is sitting at about 50, and over the past two months alone at least seven Canadian soldiers are reported to have committed suicide. While we’ve come a long way in understanding mental health, Strahl said the gap in mental health services is Canada-wide. While health services are generally a provincial issue, military services are federally funded. You can’t compel a mental health professional to join the military, he said, but “they are trying to hire more.” For McNicholl, talking about his service is easy. He knows for others it can be debilitating. “We all handle it in different ways,” he said. Last week, he attended the funeral of his troop leader from his time in Egypt. There, he spoke with several officers about the state of affairs. They are all looking back and evaluating how the different governments have funded the military, and treated veterans. “Harper is a great speaker and all that,” McNicholl said. “But look at what he’s doing to us. Now he’s going against the veterans, and we must remember that at election time. They’re going to find a lot of us showing up and speaking up.”

Scientists of the future Katie Bartel The Progress Quinn Ingham intends to take his water filtration system global. But first, he needs to win the regional science fair. Ingham’s project, along with 14 other projects from the G.W. Graham middle school science fair, has been selected to represent the school at the regionals in Abbotsford. Every two years, G.W. Graham middle-secondary school holds a science fair for its grades 7 and 8 students judged by GWG teachers and those in the science field. The goal is to develop a young pas- I hope sion for science. “This is so much about engagement, empowerment and choice,” said Chernoff. “I hope we’re instilling a love for science and a love for lifelong learning.” Like a tumbleweed blowing in the wind, Chernoff flits from one project to another, pointing out their individual excellences. Electricity, gravity, magnetic levitation, germination, and more were on display – all with a tweenaged touch. “I’ve seen crazy great projects today,” she said. Listening to Grade 7 student Jack Lawson confidently talk about Newton’s law of gravitation, spouting out words and phrases like friction and centrifugal force as he explains the five trials he conducted using marbles and three down-sloped tracks, you’d expect to see a through-the-roof GPA next to his name. Not the “regular, every day” type grades he’s used to. “But now he is completely
engaged with science,” said Chernoff. “There’s engagement everywhere.” Grade 7 student Emma Gorby spent hours fiddling with magnetic forces, creating magic-like displays that repelled and propelled the metals before them. Grade 7 student Sydney Dombowsky wanted to see how germ-filled her school was. Using petri dishes and cotton swabs, she sampled keyboards, water fountains, locks, railings, and toilet seats in the girl’s wash-
results as she illuminated the black draped diorama of her project. “It’s a very inexpensive way to light a home.” And then there was Quinn Ingham’s water-filtration system. The Grade 8 student knew his facts, he knew that there are one in nine countries without access to clean water – 750 million people. The science-loving student went to work. In a plastic bottle with a cut-out bottom, he created seven layers of rinsed fine and course sands and gravels, each separated by a coffee filter. He then poured brown, dirty we’re instilling a love for science and murky, water – similar to that he a love for lifelong learning. imagined would be seen ~ Tammie Chernoff in third world countries – through the filter into a clean container. room.

Welcome to the driver’s seat
Honda knows how to make a good, solid car—and for 2014—things just got a little more interesting. Zack Spencer
Visit the 2014 Honda Civic gallery at DrivewayBC.ca
From rather ordinary to rather extraordinary Tampa, Florida – Being the best at something is an achievement, and doing it repeatedly is impressive. The Honda Civic’s 16-year streak as the best selling passenger car in Canada is nothing short of astounding. For the introduction the 2014 Civic, Honda chose usually sunny and hot Tampa, to introduce their latest update. It was sunny but anything from hot, with overnight temperatures near freezing. Honda has been improving the Civic continuously since the 7th generation model was introduced as a 2012 model. Last year, for 2013, they updated the styling, handling and interior of the 2013 model and now for 2014 they are at it again. Looks The styling focus for 2014 is on the coupe. Roughly 15 per cent of all Civics are sold as a coupe, the most dominant player in the small coupe market. Last year, this sedan received updates to the front and rear styling to help make it look more upscale and sophisticated, and this year the coupe gets a similar update to the front and back, but the changes are meant to provide a sportier look with a bit more aggression. The most aggressive version of both
the sedan and coupe is the SI model that gets an even more forceful grille and front bumper design plus a rear spoiler and lower air diffuser. Wheel sizes have also changed with the regular coupe receiving 16-inch wheels, up from 15-inches, and the SI now bumps the size from 17-inches to 18-inches.
addition, the front seats are very supportive and the steering wheel is low and small for a racy feel. What is new for both the sedan and this coupe is the introduction of Display Audio system that is available From fuel on the EX and Touring economy to reliability, models. This is a large iPad-like touch-screen resale value, cost design that lets the driver of ownership and access many functions Inside sportiness the 2014 from the radio to apps One of the reasons that Honda Civic is a good that piggyback off your the Civic is the best iPhone. (No Android apps selling car in Canada is choice yet but they are working the practical, yet sporty Zack Spencer on this.) This taps into the interior in both the sedan power of your phone, in and coupe. Many people, the big screen, with full including me, didn’t integration. I liked the speed and funcinitially like the split dash with the tion of the design but really missed a speedometer on the top and the tarotary dial to adjust the volume over a chometer on the bottom, but over time touch screen volume design.

economy. The small one is the exhaust system has been adjusted in both the sedan and coupe to let the engine breath better, improving horsepower slightly from 140hp to 143hp. The big change is the introduction of an inhouse continuously variable transmission (CVT), replacing the old 5-speed automatic. This actually makes this little car more drivable and might be the best CVT on the market. The car snaps away from a stop and cruises with ease on the highway, with quick changes
in the gear ratio that helps mimic a conventional automatic design. In addition, there is a sport mode and paddle shifters on the steering wheel to help liven things up. Honda has done a first rate job here and their efforts have been rewarded with a six per cent improvement in city fuel economy and an overall drop from 6.2L/100km combined to 6.0L, something very hard to do with such a small car. The driving dynamics of the Civic has always been very good due to a fully independent suspension and willing engine. The 143hp is a nice match for this car and the CVT is a great complement. The 5-speed manual is a blast to drive but it could use a 6th gear on the highway, as the high-revving engine can get noisy. The steering is crisp and the car overall instills a high level of confidence. Verdict Honda admits that their Civic might not be the top choice in every reason to buy a compact car but they are near the top in all categories. From fuel economy to reliability, resale value, cost of ownership and sportiness this car is a good choice. The many improvements made to the car over the past three-model-years, has taken the Civic from rather ordinary to rather extraordinary. They know how to make a good, solid, reliable car and for 2014t hings just got a little bit more interesting. The Lowdown Power: 1.8L 4-cylinder with 143hp or 2.4L with 205hp Fill-up: 6.7L/5.0L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $15,690-$26,655

driveway Channelling your inner teenager in the snow
’’
Alexandra Straub
Picture this: You’re a teenager with a driver’s license, your wealthy parents have left you alone for the day and there has just been a huge snowfall. Turns out, they decided to take the SUV and the Porsche Carrera 4S is sitting all by its lonesome in the garage. All your friends are busy so you’ll need to make your own fun today. But how? The key to this stellar coupe, which generally remains under armed guard, somehow surfaces. Then you hear a voice calling your name. You look around and wonder if you’re imagining things or if the milk you drank for breakfast had expired. You look down and the key fob and it is speaking to you. Through its German accent you decipher words like, “traction control off,” “sliding sideways,” “car control,” and the best of all, “you won’t get in trouble.” Then giddiness overcomes your body. Your eyes widen. Your smile is uncontrollable. Before you know it you’re

talk to you and give you pointers while they observe what’s going on. Sometimes you get praise. Sometimes you get constructive criticism. It’s just part of the process. Two major points that were stressed in any of the exercises were: look where you want to go not where you are going and the tires can only do one job at a time. The latter means that if you are trying to brake and turn in tandem, chances are you won’t have the maximum amount of traction, and therefore, you can upset the balance of the car and possibly not execute the manouevre you were trying to do.
Even if you do make a mistake, you just dust off the snow and try again. The cost of Camp4 is $5,195 (plus applicable taxes.) That includes three nights accommodation at The Esterel Suites & Spa (a luxury hotel in a nearby area,) two full days of driving and all your meals and transfers from the track. As I said, even if you mess up, you keep going. And no, you won’t get in trouble for having fun. It’s part of the learning experience.

Even if you mess up, you keep going . . . it’s part of the learning experience.
nestled cozily in the heated sport driver’s seat, looking where you want to go and having the time of your life; sliding sideways on a snow and ice track in a $140,000 sports car. Life is wunderbar. The best part about this teenage dream is that it’s not a teenage dream. It’s a reality. For those wanting to learn car control on a designated ice/snow track, it’s entirely possible thanks to Porsche’s Camp4 training school. The track’s location is less than a couple of hours outside of Montreal, Quebec at Mecaglisse. It’s a playground for the German automaker’s, rear-wheel drive 911 Carrera S and Cayman, along with the all-wheel drive 911 Carrera 4S. You’ll have the opportunity to drive all three vehicles in various parts of the facility. Whether you are learning how to control over and understeer on the oval, or learning how to appropriately kick the back end out by blipping the throttle at the slalom, chances are, you’ll have a grin on your face the whole time. And if you spin out, you just keep going. The program commences with a driver’s briefing and drivers are introduced to their instructors. Proper seating position is explained and then it’s time to hit the track. Exercises are done with two people to each car, and each Porsche is equipped with radios that are linked together. That way, the instructor can

Mazda3 2010 to 2013 The new generation Mazda3 launched in 2010 was an immediate hit with Canadian compact car buyers. The car, available as a sedan or 5-door hatchback, is a nicely proportioned car with curvy styling lines, more defined front fenders and a distinctive (happy face) front air take. The zoom-zoom mind-set may not be used in the advertising today but it is still very much alive at Mazda and my enthusiastic assessment following a first drive was that it was “the most refined compact car I’ve ever driven.” This generation Mazda3 initially came in three trim levels GX, GS and GT. There’s also a high-performance edition called Mazdaspeed3. A hood scoop, which directs air flow to a turbocharged engine intercooler, gives the Madaspeed3 a more distinctive frontal appearance. Regardless of price, trim or potency, core elements of this ‘3’ are its light yet rock-solid body platform, combined with a sport-minded engineering My enthusiastic theme. Its lighter and stiffer assessment following chassis has more high-strength steel and other enhancea first drive was ments to reduce body flex and that it was the most combined with suspension changes the result is a tighter refined compact car and better handling car. I’ve ever driven. The GX and GS trim levels come with a 148-horsepower Bob McHugh 2.0-litre engine that provides a nice balance of power and fuel economy, which is 8.1/5.9 L/100 km (city/highway). The GT comes with a 2.5-litre that can deliver 167 horsepower and it gets 9.2/6.8 L/100 km (city/highway). Mazda3, which was first launched in 2003, has been consistently one of the best selling cars in Canada and the Mazdaspeed3 variant typically accounts for less than 2 per cent of sales. That certainly makes it a harder car to find on the used car market and while prices generally tend to be premium they also vary considerably depending on condition and history. This generation Mazdaspeed3 is a more refined high-performer. It offers a more controlled unleashing of power from its turbocharged engine, yet it is still an extremely fast car. Changes to its drive shafts were designed to reduce torque steer (which still exists) and a torque-sensing limited-slip differential was added to the drivetrain. Mazda claims a top speed of 250 km/h and zero to100 km/h time of 6.1 seconds. Engine output (263-horsepower) is the same as the 2009, however it provides a more progressive release of torque that peeks at 3000 rpm and 280 lb-ft is available. Its fuel consumption rate is also faster at 11.5/8.0 L/100 km (city/highway). Inside there’s room for four, maybe five, adults provided those up front are willing to share leg room. There’s more cargo room in the hatchback, however, the added security offered by the sedan’s trunk might be preferred and used prices tend to be lower. The only significant change in 2011 was the inclusion of electronic stability and traction control as standard on all models. The 2012 model year brought the introduction of Mazda’s “Skyactiv” performance and fuel-saving technologies, offered initially on the mid-range GS trim line. A direct-injected 2.0L engine is mated to either a special 6-speed manual or a 6-speed automatic transmission. It also got a mild exterior and interior restyling job that included as updated (subdued happy-face) front grille. Mazda3 is highly rated by Consumer Reports for dependability, offers great value for the money and can certainly be one of the better buys on the used car market. Price Check: 2010 - 2013 Mazda3 (January 2014) Year Edition Expect to Pay Today 2010 GS $10,000 to $13,000 2011 GS $12,000 to $15,000 2012 GS Sky $15,000 to $18,000 2013 GS Sky $18,000 to $21,000 Prices vary depending on a used vehicle’s condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase. Safety Recalls: 2010 to 2013 Mazda3: 2010: Excessive heat inside the headlight housing where the Daytime Running Light bulb is attached may cause a loss of functionality. Dealers will repair as necessary. 2010: Insufficient clearance with the starter motor may eventually result in damage to an engine electrical harness and a possible short-circuit, in some vehicles. This can then cause an engine control malfunction, poor shift quality or the engine may stall or not start. Dealers will inspect the engine harness and, if necessary, install a protector clip. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

vehicle (EV) and there are rebates (up to $500) available for residential “home” charge stations. Funding for public charge stations concluded at the end of March last year. In addition to plug-in electric vehicles, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and natural gas vehicles are also included in this incentive program. BC has certainly embraced the switch to clean energy and probably leads the country in adapting to the EV. Level 2 (240 volt) public charge stations in place are now in the hundreds, home charge stations are starting to cost less to buy and install as the market expands and more (high-voltage) fast-charge stations will be joining the three already in operation. That said, the EV is still a fragile market sector that’s struggling to establish a foothold. When the CEV program started, according to Qualey, the inventory of EVs available for sale at local auto dealerships was very limited. A few years later the supply situation is much better, competition has certainly increased and prices are even starting to drop with increased production volume. Yet, there’s still a significant price gap between an EV and a comparable gas engine vehicle. The large spike in the number of buyers who claimed the EV incentive in this past year is a reflection of those changes in the market. The Chevrolet Volt, followed by the Nissan Leaf were (by far) the two most popular vehicle recipients. Interestingly, third most popular EV was the Tesla Model S, since Tesla doesn’t currently even have a walk-inthe-door dealership in BC. Most working people commute within the driving range (100km to 150km) of a fully charged EV, which makes them viable and the cleanest commuter vehicle choice. A plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) can also currently qualify for a $2,500 instant rebate and are another excellent clean vehicle choice. A PHEV typically has an electriconly driving range of about 20km to 30km and then switches to hybrid extended range operation. Quebec recently renewed its clean-vehicle incentive program, which offers up to $8,500 off the price of an EV, for another three years. continued on page 26

LED lights not only give you incredible light but they draw so little amperage.

Light emitting diode (LED) lights are slowly taking over the automotive industry. These lights are made from extremely small semiconductor diodes that are capable of creating bright light. They work very similarly to standard lights but instead of a filament, an LED creates light using nothing but the movement of electricity along the path of its semiconductor. As the electrons stream across the semiconductor, they create electromagnetic radiation. Some forms of this electromagnetic radiation can take the form of light. LED lights are becoming increasing popular these days on trucks. Gone are the
days of putting the highest wattage sealed beam lamps you could find, often referred to as airplane landing lights, on your bumper or roll-bar to light up the night sky to enjoy some extended off-road driving hours. LED lights not only give you incredible light but they draw so little amperage. This is a real advantage over adding a second alternator or constantly having to jumpstart your dead battery. Off-road LED lights come in many different shapes and sizes. This helps with the many different sizes of grille openings or bumper light locations. Rigid industries are a pioneer in this new offroad light technology. They offer many different kinds of lights. The dually light is a small 3” x 3” cube that has 1300 lumens of light that has the same output as a 50w light while only drawing 15 watts. A pair of these lights cost $219. E-series lights are LED light bars that come in various lengths. The 4” E-series light is available in a flood or spot pattern that has an amp draw of 1.18 and a life span over 50,000 hours.

LED lights provide incredible light and draw little amperage. Cost is $258. The 6” E-series light is available in a flood, spot, or a combo. It also has a 50,000+ life span and draws 1.77 amps. For some serious amount of light, there are the 30”, 40” and 50” light bars that have an unbreakable polycarbonate lens and are available in a spot, flood, or a combo. The 50” light bar gives off enough light to reach distances of 1,497 metres. Theses price from $1,099 to $1,759. Now finding a place to mount them to your truck can pose a challenge.

to get creative. The front bumper usually is a great place to start. The OEMs are great for providing spots to mount their optional lights. You can also purchase bumper mounted light bars that can hold one long light bar or two smaller ones. Make sure the location you choose is not lower than the bumper or your expensive new lights may get knocked off on your first trip out. If you own a Jeep there are mounting brackets available to attach to your windshield pillar or just above the windshield. Rigid now offers for 2014, curved lights that will fit across the top of the windshield and have mounting brackets for most trucks.

Ontario also continues to provide a similar program with an up to $8,000 incentive. Some auto manufacturers may have second thoughts about the BC market, if incentives are no longer available, as the support costs involved in offering an EV in a product line are high. “We’re at the point now where we have all the components necessary to do what everybody had envisioned back in 2010,” added Blair Qualey. “The reason to have these incentives is to help prime the pump, allow people to look at a new option and help the environment. All the pieces of the puzzle are there and it would be a shame not to put it together, when we have a chance to succeed.” Here are some useful Electric Vehicle information web sites: www.cevforbc.ca, www.livesmartbc.ca, www. nrcan.gc.ca/ecoaction, www. plugshare.com. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

The notice of hearing for the rezoning contained “glowing errors,” according to Thompson, which include the omission of the Aevitas name, nor any mention of the waste recycling activities of hazardous materials that could involve PCBs or mercury powder. “Plus their map doesn’t indicate the Fraser River or the berm,” Thompson added.

Vitaly Beckman - not your average magic show! T hink you’ve seen it all when it comes to magicians? How about making you disappear from your Driver’s License, only to be replaced with Marilyn Monroe? This breathtaking illusion is just one of the many unbelievable tricks that Vitaly Beckman will be performing when he leads the Cultural Centre audience into a realm of awe and wonder during his three day stint in Chilliwack, An Evening of Wonders on February 14, 15, 16, 2014.
Vitaly has been conjuring huge waves in Canada since 2008, with astounding appearances on Global BC News, CBC Radio, and MyVancouver, rave reviews in The Province and The Vancouver Sun, and endless testimonials from fans and sceptics alike that have been blown away by his show. Fluffy rabbits from a hat this ain’t, so be prepared to witness the spectacular when Vitaly appears in our Rotary Hall Studio Theatre this February.
Vitaly’s magical journey began at the age of 14 in his home country of Belarus, where his love of performing arts and admiration for David Copperfield inspired him to create his own illusions to fascinate his family and friends. “When I realised I could invent my own ways to amaze people, I became hooked on performing” Vitaly says, “I discovered I had a talent for creating new tricks, and decided I wanted to open up a whole new world where I can bring the imagination to life.” This creativity and love for both the impossible and the arts grew with Vitaly, and has become a key aspect of his shows. He says “I believe that magic is the most appealing of the performing arts, and with the potential to include theatre, comedy, and music into my performance, that anything is possible.” Incorporating all of these elements and combining them with a highly interactive dynamic that brings the audience into his shows, Vitaly has developed a unique and captivating magical experience that will “appeal to a huge amount of people, with its focus on the inspirational as well as the entertaining.” Unlike other magicians, Vitaly’s biggest goal is not to pull off an illusion or use
smoke and mirrors to trick his audiences, but to inspire a real atmosphere of the spectacular, and bring his belief that “dreams can become reality” to life on stage. The Rotary Hall Studio Theatre will become Vitaly’s magical domain over a series of three dates in February, during which he will perform many of his most recognisable and incredible illusions such as making people disappear from photographs, escaping from chains using only his mind, and bringing paintbrushes to life to create pictures. You will be totally wowed when he makes people disappear from their very own Driver’s Licenses, only to be replaced by a celebrity! Although Vitaly sneakily adds that this last trick may not be entirely legal, he says it never fails to amaze, and suggests “to bring a back-up driver, or at least some bus fare!” Vitaly’s run of three shows at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre will be a series of nights packed with awe and entertainment that is guaranteed to amaze anybody from ages thirteen to 113, and is an incredible opportunity to catch this fastrising star of illusion before he snaps his fingers and disappears! Be sure to reserve early before the tickets join him, and call 604-391-SHOW (7469) to book your seat! An Evening of Wonders is proud to be sponsored by Sutton Showplace Realty, Chilliwack Progress, Department of Canadian Heritage, City of Chilliwack, British Columbia Arts Council, and the Province of British Columbia.

Come and revel in the luxuriously resonant tone of tenor Benjamin Butterfield, featured alongside Sarah Hagen’s innovative and impeccably assembled piano performance live in the Rotary Hall Studio Theatre on February 14, 2014 at 10:30am. Whether as a tranquil beginning to a day of Valentine’s romance, or a soul-soothing spectacle that will keep you glowing until sunset, Sarah Hagen with Special Guest Benjamin Butterfield at Chilliwack Cultural Centre is guaranteed to be the best way to start Valentine’s Day this year. Featured as a guest tenor with all the major orchestra and opera groups in Canada, as well as from New York to San Francisco, in many of Europe’s capitals, and in Israel and Taiwan, Benjamin’s talents have earned him much critical acclaim.

The New York Times described his performance as the Archangel Uriel as “clarion-voiced” and replete “with taste, authority and agility”, while the Calgary Herald lauded Benjamin’s shining ability to capture his audience; “Butterfield had but a cameo role as a sailor, but how he milked it! With true nautical spirit, he urged his colleagues on with smiling and singing… It was hard not to be immediately struck by the ease and passion of his delivery and dazzling tonal purity.” Benjamin will be accompanying pianist Sarah Hagen, who will be making her third appearance at the Cultural Centre as part of the Rain Mountain Classical Music

Feel the love Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. If you really want to make your special person happy, here is something you may find interesting. The Society of American Florists partnered with the world renowned researcher, Jeannette Haviland-Jones, Ph.D., of Rutgers University, on some ground-breaking research to examine the effect of flowers on human emotion and well being. Over a ten month period, some very interesting results were discovered. Dr. Haviland-Jones and her research team found that the presence of flowers triggers happy emotions, heightens feelings of life satisfaction and affects future behaviour in a positive manner far beyond what is normally true. Flowers are a Brian natural and healthful moderator of moods. “Common sense tells us MINTER that flowers make us happy”, says Dr. Haviland-Jones, “and now science shows that not only do flowers make us happier than we know, they have strong positive effects on our emotional well being.” Here are five main points as condensed from her report: Flowers have an immediate impact on happiness. Study participants expressed true or excited smiles upon receiving flowers, demonstrating extraordinary delight and gratitude. This reaction was universal, occurring in all age groups. Flowers have a long-term positive effect on moods. Study participants reported feeling less depressed, anxious and agitated after receiving flowers, and demonstrated a higher sense of enjoyment and life satisfaction. Flowers make intimate connections. The presence of flowers led to increased contact with family and friends. Flowers are a symbol for sharing. The study explored where in their homes people displayed Continued: MINTER/ p29
Series. This dazzling young star of Canadian classical music has been described as “a rarity of musical excellent, with technical ease and tonal purity”, and her conceptually imaginative performances and piano interpretations have cemented her reputation as one of Canada’s most promising talents. The Rain Mountain Classical Music Series at the Cultural Centre has brought Sarah together with a range of diverse and incredibly talented musicians, and this Valentine’s Day installment with Benjamin Butterfield will prove to be a musical match made in heaven.

Flowers MINTER from Front flowers. Once received, arrangements were placed in areas of the home that are open to visitors – such as foyers, living rooms and dining rooms – suggesting that flowers make the space more welcoming and create a sharing atmosphere. People who buy more flowers are happier. Once learning the study results, participants in all age and gift categories reported that they would be buying more flowers in the future. This may seem like a bit of promotion for the floral and horticultural industry, but I thought these results would be interesting to everyone. With so much stress and depression in today’s world, it’s great to know that something as simple as a bouquet of flowers can help to cheer someone up – a nice thought just before Valentine’s Day.

Chiefs Chi f season a rarity iy I’m not going to think about the standings. I’m going to enjoy watching young players improve, writes Jacob Bestebroer
Kamloops Ranger Cameran Demarais slips a puck past Chilliwack Titans netminder Magnus Johnson during a peewee rec. tournament game in Kamloops last weekend. ALLEN DOUGLAS/ KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Grizzly star commits to Vikes Jenika Bannerman tried her best to put it off for as long as possible. The University of Victoria Vikes or the University of Fraser Valley Cascades? Which one would the GW Graham senior girls basketball star be playing for next year. She didn’t want to choose. “I kind of wanted to brush it off,” Bannerman said with a smile. Her mother was pressing her to make her mind up. Former GWG teammate Kaitlyn McDonald was sending full-court-press texts, urging Bannerman to join her at UFV. The University of Alberta was briefly in the mix, but Bannerman was decisive about that. “Too cold!” she said. Bannerman’s mom finally gave her an end-of-January deadline to figure it out. In the end, it was probably a campus visit that pushed

Even better, “I was so excited Bannerman will when I finally called be with the Vikes Jenika Dani to tell her I was when they move into a brand new BANNERMAN coming to UVic,” Bannerman said. “I facility.

What happens now is Prior relationships played Bannerman plays out the a role as well. UVic coach Dani end of the year with her Sinclair was on the staff of Grizzlies, who seem primed Bannerman’s U-16 Team BC for a run to provincials. Currently sidelined with squad last year. “But I’ve been in the a concussion, she can’t wait
to get back on the floor and help GWG finish strong. Then it’s graduation time and off to her new adventure. “I’m confident but I’m also nervous, and I think that’s good,” she said. “Going from playing full games to sitting on the bench as a rookie, I won’t be used to that and it’ll be a good learning experience.” Bannerman’s coach at GWG, Sarah Mouritzen, has watched her grow up over the last few years and has no doubt her transition to CIS basketball will be smooth. “Several of her U-16 Team BC teammates have also committed to play at UVic so they have a group of extremely competitive players coming in,” Mouritzen said. “Jenika has never shied away from an athletic challenge and I think going to UVic will challenge her in so many great ways. I absolutely believe UVic is a great fit for her.”
Prior to each Chilliwack Chiefs home game I make a point of chatting with the opposition broadcaster. My objective is, of course, to gain information and perspective on that night’s opposition. In talking with Jon Zacks, the play by play guy for the West Kelowna Warriors a few w eeks ago, he not only weeks provided me with perspective on the Warriors but the Chiefs as well. In discussing the current Chiefs season he commented that some BCHL franchises go through seasons like this frequently, most go through seasons like this occasionally and a select few, including the Chiefs, go through this once every 20 years or so. Solid point. The Chiefs were mathematically eliminated from the playoffs Saturday night. It’s the first time since the 1992-93 season that they have met that fate. But even that season w asn’t quite like this. wasn’t W hile this year’s Chiefs While have struggled from the start, that 1992-93 team had a record of 16 wins and 16 losses at the Christmas break. A fter the break they won After jjust ust four of their final 28 games. I’m not suggesting that because of the rarity of seasons like this, Chiefs fans should not be disappointed. But I do think it makes it easier to accept. I also plan to fully enjoy each one of the games left in this regular season.
When I think back k to when I first started watching sports, I realize now I was only everr focussed fully on the game I was watching. I knew very little aboutt where the teams were in the standings etc. I was too young to know, butt had I known I doubt I would have cared. When I was 8-10 years old two teams I enjoyed watching occasionally on TV (sports were only on occasionally back then) were the Vancouverr Canucks and the NBA’s Seattle Supersonics. I can still tell you the starting lineup of those Supersonics teams and most of my wardrobe was Canucks related. It was only years later that I realized I had watched quite a few w Supersonics games the year they won the NBA A championship and thatt the Canucks were forr the most part first round playoff fodder for much better opponents. So that’s how I’m going to enjoy the rest off this Chiefs season. I’m not going to think k about the standings. I’m going to enjoy watching young players like Kyle Westeringh and Jordan Kawaguchi improve and I’m going to enjoyy watching a small group of Chiefs players playy their final junior hockeyy games. The Chiefs are on the road this weekend, travelling to Trail Fridayy night and Salmon Arm Saturday. Sunday’s a day off before an afternoon game in Surrey on Monday. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Doris Irene
Doris Irene Barnett (nee Richards) passed away peacefully in her sleep with her family nearby on January 20, 2014 at Cascade Lodge in Chilliwack at 95 years of age. She was born in Nuneaton, Warkwickshire, England on July 7, 1918. Irene contributed to the war effort in England working in factories during BARNETT World War II. She married a Canadian soldier, Ernie, in September 1941. She sailed to Canada as a war bride in 1945 and settled in Tisdale, SK. She would often tell her children what a culture shock this had been. Irene and her husband soon moved to Saskatoon where they began their family. After the birth of her first son, Irene went back to England for a little over two years before returning to Saskatoon, where her second son was born. Shortly after, they moved to Exeter, Ontario where they added a daughter to their growing family. In 1956, the family moved west to Williams Lake, BC where they completed their family with another daughter and one more son. Irene and Ernie separated in 1966 leaving Irene to raise their children alone. In 1967, she moved her family to Bodmin, SK where they lived before moving to Debden, SK. Although Irene loved this area of the province for it’s simple beauty, the long cold winters soon lost their charm and Irene moved back to BC in 1970 with her children, this time to Chilliwack. Irene loved the beautiful scenery, warm weather and variety of flowers in Chilliwack. She spent many hours walking and enjoying the many parks and gardens in the area with her family. Irene dedicated her life to raising her children and enjoying her grandchildren. She was happiest when her family was with her. She often regaled them with stories of her happy days in England and the many friends and family there. Although Irene loved her adopted country, she always held a special love for her home back in England. Irene often wrote poetry and stories detailing her life in England and how different her life was for her as a newcomer to Canada. Irene wrote of her life, adventures and impressions of Canada in the English newspaper “The Bedworth Echo�. She also appeared frequently on the local Chilliwack cable TV channel reading her poetry. Irene was predeceased by her son Robert, and granddaughter Haley. She is survived by four children: Rick, Susan (Tom Wallace), Sherry (Rob Moseanko), and Roger; four grandchildren: Sheri Mae (Tim Benjamin), Jennifer (Jared Skillings), Lolea Moseanko (Garret Nicol) and Kris Moseanko (Heather); seven great-grandchildren: Lauren, Aiden, and Evan Benjamin; Payton and Olliver Skillings; Eli and Lena Moseanko.
