Outside-thebox approach to filling downtown Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Downtown Chilliwack needs help now. That’s why City of Chilliwack and Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation are embarking on a unique business development proposal by Walas Concepts fuelled by innovative business incubation. Walas is a consulting group that specializes in revitalizing downtown cores with a glut of vacant or under-utilized buildings. “The hope is that with Walas Concepts on board, they will bring their system into our community and work on the ground with the community to become that all-important transition needed to move forward with the downtown redevelopment,” said CEPCO president Brian Coombes. Chilliwack council approved $65,000 in CDI funding Tuesday for the “Finding the Future” concept plan, which would have a $195,000 annual budget to concentrate on business development and attraction in the downtown, as well as boosting commercial occupancy. The creative proposal from Walas was presented to CEPCO last month. It envisions Chilliwack as a prototype of the future, “a centre for innovation and sustainability,” fostering the learning economy and a green economy, and functioning as a new business incubator with a focus on the agriculture, the environment, education and health care. Chilliwack could become an agribusiness hub, a “food valley.” The concept would complement the city’s downtown plan that has focused lately on land assembly, with an eye to significant redevelopment and revitalization. “But we don’t know the exact timeline of that redevelopment,” said Coombes. “We do know the downtown needs help now.” Continued: CHILLIWACK/ p6

Chilliwack woman on mission of mercy to Ukraine

“

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Mary Martz of Chilliwack is forging ahead with a mission of mercy to conflict-torn Ukraine. “We’re hoping things will stabilize,” she said before getting on a plane Wednesday. Foreign Affairs officials are advising Canadians against all travel to the part of Ukraine known as Crimea. Martz, a translation volunteer with Hungry for Life, is flying to Ukraine with a friend to help out an orphanage that is about to run out of food, as well as visiting family and friends. She’s a Ukrainian citizen, who’s been a permanent resident of Canada for the past 12

years. Martz said she has several siblings and her parents to check on, as well as helping some struggling elders in the community who are not receiving their pensions. The situation in Ukraine gained the worldwide attention last month after Russian Federation’s military forces

invaded and occupied key Ukrainian installations, with bloody skirmishes that saw protesters killed. Canada views the federation’s actions as a “violation of international law” and responded with a statement from Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada that said: “Canada has been among the

most vocal in the international community in expressing our disapproval over democratic back-sliding and repression in Ukraine. We remain very concerned about the situation in Ukraine and continue to monitor developments with considerable interest.” The government message continued: “Canada stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine in their fight for a free and democratic Ukraine.” Martz said she plans to lay flowers at the memorial site in Kyiv “where so many lost their life fighting for freedom,” and wants to see the luxurious digs of the former president.

Massive sockeye run forecast for Fraser River Jeff Nagel Black Press Another huge sockeye salmon run is forecast to return to the Fraser River this summer, potentially even bigger than the modern record of 30 million that unexpectedly came back in 2010. The fish that are now on their homeward migration back to B.C. waters are the spawn of that massive run four years ago, which was the best in a century. Pre-season estimates of this summer’s run size from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans range from a low of 7.3 million to a high of 72.5 million, with the more probable mid-range forecast set at 23 million. Until the salmon begin appearing off Vancouver Island, however, there’s little way to know with certainty what proportion of fry

that went out to sea survived and thrived in the marine environment. Much depends on ocean conditions, such as water temperature and the amount of food and predators they encountered. It’s been theorized that ironrich ash from the eruption of an Alaskan volcano in 2008 caused a plankton bloom that increased the food supply, contributing to the 2010 sockeye run. No volcano fertilized the North Pacific waters since then, but salmon watchers are waiting to see if a rogue geoengineering project had any similar effect. A Haida-led team controversially dumped 200 tonnes of iron dust in the ocean in 2011 with the aim of trapping atmospheric carbon and boosting salmon returns. A 10,000-square-kilometre plankton bloom was later detected by satellites.

Commercial harvesters, sport fishing operators and aboriginal fishermen, meanwhile, are all buzzing with anticipation over the potential run. But processors caution a huge record run could overwhelm fish packing plants that were pressed to their limit in 2010. “It was a large challenge and I’m not sure we could have handled very much more fish,” recalled Rob Morley, vice-president of production and corporate development at Canadian Fishing Co. (Canfisco). He noted the range of 2014 estimates is broad and salmon forecasting is notoriously inexact. But Morley said other signs coming in point to a very good year for sockeye all along the coast, including runs to Barkley Sound and the Skeena River. “We’ve seen very good returns

of three-year-old fish this past summer,” he said, referring to sockeye that come back a year early and are called immature jacks. Strong coho returns also suggest good ocean survival for sockeye. Morley said processors hope a strong run can be verified soon enough for fishery managers to approve early and steady openings, rather than a later, more compressed window. “If we are, in fact, seeing a lot of fish and get started sooner, it will help everybody handle more fish.” Sto:lo Tribal Council fisheries advisor Ernie Crey warned against allowing intensive commercial fishing too soon this summer without solid justification. “Everyone’s getting excited,” he said. “It’s great the forecast is looking that good. But we can’t forget that we’ve had three inqui-

■ S KILLS A ND T RADE T ALK

ries into failures of Fraser sockeye salmon runs. Things can go terribly wrong and people can be very disappointed.” If errors are made and managers decide mid-season they’ve allowed too much fishing, Crey said, the only place to compensate and ensure enough salmon spawn is to then curtail the aboriginal catch upriver. “It’s hard to be definitive about salmon. We only know enough to know that we don’t know enough.” Some commercial sockeye fishing was allowed last year, when about four million salmon returned to the Fraser, after a shutdown in 2012. DFO officials say Fraser sockeye appear to be gradually rebuilding since the disastrous 2009 run when just 1.6 million sockeye returned, triggering the Cohen Inquiry.

caded. Once inside, they found crack cocaine, heroin and crystal meth. They also found items that would be used in drug trafficking. RCMP recovered stolen property, including identification documents from people living in Chilliwack and the

Lower Mainland. Those people are being contacted and warned that they may be potential victims of fraud and identity theft. Two women, 23 and 49 years old, were arrested. Both are Chilliwack residents. They’ll appear in Chilliwack court at

a later date facing charges of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking and possession of stolen property. Meanwhile, the City of Chilliwack has posted a nooccupancy notice on the residence.

It’s the lowest tax increase in years on deck for Chilliwack. Chilliwack continues down a well-worn path of fiscal restraint with a proposed tax rate increase of 2.44 per cent for 2014. “We’re in a good position,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. That’s down a percentage point from 3.44 per cent last year, and it means a $38 increase in taxes on a typical Chilliwack home. “I’m really pleased with this budget with modest (tax rate) increase,” said Gaetz. “It’s the lowest increase since I first got on council.” It will fund two additional police officers for the RCMP and one career firefighter for Chilliwack Fire Department. “It’s an investment in public safety,” she said. The additional firefighter will help the fire department with its “flex scheduling” approach so the areas of Sardis and Chilliwack proper will be covered around the clock. Council approved introduction and three readings of the 2014 financial plan at the Tuesday council meeting. A public information meeting on the 2014 Financial plan and budget is set for March 18 at city hall to hear feedback from the public. Chilliwack’s proposed blended tax rates are the lowest of any municipality in the Lower Mainland, and second only to Surrey for the lowest municipal tax rates. “The reason why Chilliwack is able to keep taxes so low is because we’re not paying interest charges. Where other communities borrow to pay for capital projects, we take a pay-as-yougo approach and save to build them. “The biggest news in the tax department is that we are still able to maintain the lowest rates, with almost $500 less in taxes on a representative home than in Abbotsford,” said Gaetz.

Teachers vote on three-step strike plan Tom Fletcher Black Press B.C. teachers completed voting Thursday on a mandate for a three-stage strike plan. (Results weren’t available at press time; check www. theprogress.com for updates.) Details have emerged from several school districts, where B.C. Teachers’ Federation members have voted yes or no to authorize the first two phases of strike action. Phase one is refus-

ing meetings or communication with administrators, and working to rule on hours, except for pre-arranged voluntar y activities. According to one summary released by the government, teachers are to arrive at school no more than one hour before class time and leave by one hour after classes, with no supervision of students outside of class time. Phase two is rotating one-day walkouts in districts around the province. Phase three, a full-scale strike,

would require a second vote by members to authorize. A strike mandate would permit the union to withdraw services for 90 days. The three-phase plan was also described in late February by Steve Stanley, president of the Comox District Teachers’ Association, in an interview with the Comox Valley Record. Summaries include the union’s description of the initial wage offer from Peter Cameron, the chief negotiator for B.C.’s 60 school districts. It describes

pay increases totalling six per cent over the next five years, which Cameron has described as an opening position. The BCTF has not presented a wage offer, opting to secure a strike mandate first. The strike vote was underway as Premier Christy Clark met with a union delegation headed by B.C. Federation of Labour president Jim Sinclair, including a member of the BCTF executive. Sinclair called on the government to raise the minimum wage

But Martz will be careful to avoid conflict of any kind at all costs. “I am flying into the west part of Ukraine,” she told The Progress. “I am definitely not flying to the eastern section at this point. It’s not safe. I do have a backup plan if things get out of control.” She’s planning to stay 18 days, but will cut things short if need be. “It’s my mom’s birthday while I’m there but she doesn’t know I’m coming, so it will be a surprise.” It was an orphanage in Priazovskoje, a small town in Ukraine, that Hungry for Life had supported last winter with aid for food and electricity. “I found out they had run out of funds by December and only had a few days of food left,” she said. The unrest and violence gave Martz pause, and she hesitated, wondering if she should postpone the trip for a month or so, to see if the situation would stabilize in time. But after her recent call to the orphanage, she decided she had to go as planned. Martz had to work to reassure her daughter, who was still feeling nervous the day she was set to fly. “There are still a lot of unknowns. The Russian forces are still there, but I don’t think anyone can predict what Putin or the other governments of the world will do. I’m hoping the world will help Ukraine.”

Walas Concepts has a proven track record in the Netherlands of creating these prototype communities of the future. “This is not ‘build it and they will come’ that we’re talking about. It’s being proactive with the opportunities that exist right now,” said Coombes. “We don’t just need more new awnings, or another big downtown event. “We need to explore all the options, and do our best to find the solution that pulls all

these ideas together.” The concept is to take under-used commercial spaces and repurpose them. Mentorship and partnerships are key. Mayor Sharon Gaetz likened part of the concept to a Dragons’ Den philosophy from the CBC show. “This will help people with good business ideas who might not have the capital. That’s where the mentorship comes in,” said Gaetz. Jobs, internships, startups, and collaborations are all part of the plan, with an

expected full-time job creation equivalent of 200. “I breathe, eat, sleep and dream about our downtown,” said Mayor Gaetz. “The possibilities could be endless if it had new life breathed into it.” There would also be a full-time person working on the business incubation plan from a central downtown location. “They will be accessible and will work hand in hand with the community on this,” Coombes said. They didn’t just want to hire another consultant to

write a big report. “This approach is very outside the box,” he said. “It’s all of us working together on something that will have the biggest impact on the downtown.” Regular evaluations are built into the three-year contract at six-month intervals to ensure that expectations are being met. The expected start date is May 1, 2014, and first priority will be setting up an office downtown. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Be proactive about health It’s no secret that finding a doctor who is taking new patients is a difficult task. Unless you have complex care issues or are pregnant, chances are that every nagging cough, aching joint or unending migraine will end with you pulling a number at your local walk in clinic — or worse, waiting through the night in an emergency room for basic care. Of the 4.4 million people in B.C., it’s believed that 14 per cent are “unattached” to a family physician. That equals more than 600,000 men, women and children who don’t have a singular care provider. Granted, some of those people are perfectly fine with that. But many others are desperate for a family doctor who can oversee their children’s health, their aging parents, or their own regular exams. It’s well known that having a doctor you trust can improve your health. But even for those with family doctors, wait times for appointments can be as long as three to four weeks — not much help for someone suffering acute symptoms. But all the shortages and wait times aside, there are qualified, caring professionals doing their best to help as many people as they can in a day. As we are learning through the GP For Me initiative, doctors are working on long-term solutions for a better system. Taking an active role in your own health care can only help the situation, and there are a number of things we can each do. That includes using the HealthLink website and accessing medical advice through their 811 phone line. Take notes at your doctor’s office, or ask your doctor to write down important information for you. Don’t leave prescription refills to the last minute. If you have a chronic illness, go to clinics and seek out information to help you manage your symptoms. Book appointments in advance when possible, and call if you can’t make an appointment. Every little thing can help alleviate a good, but overwhelmed, health care system. ~ Black Press

Is there a thaw in Conservative environment policies? Finally, some Conser vative party thinkers are getting vocal on pushing the Harper government to improve its lacklustre green status and get serious about the environment. At last week’s Manning Centre Networking Conference, a who’s who Conservative huddle, Jim Prentice, former environment minister, and Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall both spoke on an urgent need to ratchet up the dial on environmental action and regulations, especially in the oil patch. That Manningfest, as political journalist Kady O’Malley puts it, was pretty speech-lively but Prentice warned the Conservatives about the need to step up and at least match other countries making concerted efforts toward sustainable development and a real time commitment to a lighter carbon footprint. The collective willpower to

do this over the years has been less than stellar. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, the world now emits 48 per cent more carbon dioxide than it did twenty years ago. China’s emissions have increased 240 per cent since 1992 levels and the nation now contributes a quarter of the world’s emisMargaret sions. The U.K. EVANS is down eight per cent over its 1992 levels while Canada’s emissions have risen 13 per cent putting us 9th in the line-up of worst emissions nations. Resource-rich Canada has an economy welded at the hip to developing all those in-ground riches for future prosperity. There is nothing wrong with that in prin-

cipal. The cold fact is that at every level of society oil will remain central to our functioning needs for the foreseeable future. The problem lies in how we do what we do. There has to be a serious commitment to managing our environment sustainably and with the least amount of destructive impact. Glimmers of that surfaced last week when the federal government rejected for the second time Taseko’s proposed New Prosperity gold-copper mine near Williams Lake based on the likelihood that it will “cause significant adverse environmental effects”. This was the mining project that initially proposed to drain Fish Lake and load it up with toxic mine-waste rock. To the astonishment of many, the original proposal actually received a nod of approval in 2010 from the B.C. government before

being blocked by the feds. Taseko re-grouped and resubmitted its proposal in 2011, this time preserving Fish Lake but the feds didn’t budge on the assessed negative impacts. This was, quite frankly, a cautious breath of fresh air out of Ottawa. The same critical thinking is needed to protect our oceans. Last week Island Scallops near Parksville reported the loss of 10 million scallops and the layoff of 20 employees, one third of their workforce. Ocean acidification is suspected. The acidity has resulted in low pH levels which compromise shellfish immune systems making it difficult for them to form shells. And with the oceans getting warmer there have been changes in zooplankton blooms which shellfish depend on for food. As much as this is a global problem, acidity is acute in the

Pacific Ocean and the waters off the B.C. coastline. In fact, there has been an 80 to 90 per cent mortality of young shellfish and a massive die-off – in the billions – of wild oysters. B.C. is a major shellfish producer accounting for 60 per cent of Canada’s 12,000 tonne oyster harvest and 76 per cent of the national 58 tonne scallop production. According to the U.S. Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, fundamental changes are happening in seawater chemistry worldwide. The oceans are absorbing about 25 per cent of atmospheric CO2 annually. As those carbon dioxide levels increase so do the CO2 levels in the ocean also increase, negatively impacting the chemistry balance. Canada needs to contribute to solutions by lowering its emissions and turning its record around.

Call for teachers to set an example This is an open letter to all the teachers out there: In today’s educational environment, I know that it’s more important for teachers to spend time talking about strike action, looking at extending holiday breaks, half days, late starts, “professional development” days (which is teacher code for ‘we’re taking a day to golf rather than do anything to further advance our profession’) than it is to actually provide dedicated and supportive instruction to the children. And I know this to be the case, as I was in the teaching profession years ago, so there’s no pulling any wool over my eyes. In fact, the extent to which teachers today actually get involved with the kids is as far as giving them gold stars because they showed up for class. Out the window has gone discipline, respect and actu-

ally learning the curriculum and expecting kids to understand what’s been brought to them. This is verified by several school districts in this province that want to change the grading system from something that can direct and focus learning to a “good job done” system. Then passing them along, the whole time the students didn’t actually learn anything. However, it is somewhat ‘expected’ by general members of the public, that when teachers take their class of kids outside the classroom and into the public, that teachers keep some form of organizational control of them, and not let them run wild all over the place. Why is it okay for two teachers to allow some 20 kids to walk willynilly all over the sidewalk (when there is limited space available due to accumulated snow), leaving no room for other pedestrians, but

it’s not okay for the pedestrian to make notice and request the kids to allow them to pass? It’s no wonder society has become more arrogant, rude and selfish, when we do not teach our kids, mentor our children or show our youth simple courtesy, kindness and respect. I can say this with conviction, as 35 to 40 years ago, kids, when their class is in public, were to compose themselves with dignity, respect and regards while outside. Anything less than civilized behaviour was met with detention and discipline (something I think more kids need today). It’s time for teachers to take their job seriously and to heart and be the mentors and good examples for our children we pay & expect them to be. Tom Brewer Chilliwack

Don’t blame Christians for jobless and homeless Re: Dick Harrington’s letter, The Progress, Tuesday, March 5, 2014. I am at a loss why Mr. Harrington would blame the Christians for the plight of the homeless and jobless? Isn’t that the same as blaming the Jews for all the unrest in

the Middle East? Yet Israel makes all the concessions whereas the Palestinians refuse to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. As for the question “what would Jesus do?” Should the question not rather be, “Why is the

world not listening to the message that Christ proclaimed that “If you do not believe I am He, you will die in your sins.” Therefore is this a call for everyone of us to repent and turn away from sin, and give praise and glory to God?

As when one does not repent of thievery, wickedness and lies, how can there be peace within or peace with one’s neighbour? Sylvia Commerford Chilliwack. B.C.

These raspberries deserve an award It seems every time you go to a dessert bar, raspberries rule. Not only are they great tasting and decorative, but they are also a great health food. A ¾ cup serving has only 49 calories, has 25mg of vitamin C and contains the flavonoid quercetin that helps fight inflammation, cardiovascular disease and cancer. Although raspberries can be frozen during their season and still retain their nutrition, flavour and flavonoids, when picked fresh they are at their best used within one day of picking. We all know raspberries are a beautiful red fruit, but they also come in yellow, amber and purplish black. I mention this now because it’s a wonderful time to plant them for years of fresh harvesting, possibly even this year. At this

time, most raspberries are sold in garden stores as bare sticks with roots. They are easy to plant but for the greatest success, a few key things must happen. First, cut the stems down to 3-4 inches above the roots. This will ensure the roots will easily push up new shoots from the bottom. I soak the roots in a solution of root starter or organic fish fertilizer to help new roots form quickly. They also need to be planted in lighter soil with good drainage and plant them just deep enough to cover the roots – not too deep or too shallow. It’s best to set them out in rows about 3 feet apart and to use a wire frame to keep them upright and well behaved. Water them well, especially when planting, to get all the air pockets out

of the planting hole and to keep them moist. Once they start to grow, use a bit of slow release 14-14-14 fertilizer around each plant to really push them along. Follow Brian these simple MINTER guidelines and you will have 100% success. If you choose everbearing varieties, the new shoots that come up from the bottom this spring will produce fresh wonderful fruit from midsummer well into fall. ‘Heritage’ has been the most well known good variety for many years, but ‘Autumn Bliss’ seems to be the new star with large

fruit and great flavour. ‘Caroline’, ‘Nova’ and ‘Prelude’ are also quite marvellous. Planted soon, these everbearing varieties will allow you to sample their fruits this summer. ‘Fall Gold’ is a beautiful yellow everbearing variety that has great flavour and will also produce this year. For main season varieties, you need to plant this spring for good production next summer from late June through August. ‘Willamette’ is an older, well known variety that produces early dark red fruit. Most raspberries are quite hardy down to zone 4-5, but for colder climates, ‘Boyne’ is the very hardiest down to zone 3, but it really does need good drainage, as do they all. It produces medium sized delicious berries. ‘Nova’ is also very hardy.

‘Canby’ is the almost thornless variety that is easy to pick and has good sized tasty fruit. ‘Tulameen’ has exceptionally large fruits with great colour and flavour. It is also ideal for the home garden because of its size and extended harvest. For black raspberries, the old fashioned ‘Munger Black Caps’ are smaller but very tasty. I love their pinkish-purple stems that look almost ornamental. ‘Black Jewel’ is a good sized black raspberry and is truly delicious. The new ‘hottie’ in raspberries has been the introduction of the dwarf thornless everbearing variety from Fall Creek Nurseries in Oregon, called ‘Raspberry Sundae’. It’s part of the ‘brazzleberry’ program meant to produce fruit in containers for most of the summer. It’s a great idea but requires a good sized pot and lots of nutrients to perform up to expectations. So if you’ve got a little bit of space in your garden in a sunny well-drained area, plant some raspberries they’re fun, tasty, good for you and a nice addition to your dessert bar.

morning commutes we’ll face over the next few weeks,” said Todd Stone, Minister of Transpor tation and Infrastructure. “The time change can impact our concentration, alertness and ability to react to the unexpected while driving, so make sure you get some good rest this weekend.” “As an avid cyclist, I know the impact that the time shift can cause, especially riding in the early morning hours,” said Suzanne Anton, Attorney General and Minister of Justice. “I would urge all drivers, pedestrians and cyclists to be aware and take extra caution during the next few weeks while we adjust to the effects of Daylight Savings Time.” “The change in our sleep cycle can cause unique dangers on our roads as some drivers may not realize that they’re more fatigued and less alert than usual,” said Dr. John Vavrik, a psychologist at ICBC. “Fatigue is especially dangerous when combined with distractions so it’s important that drivers limit any potential distractions behind the wheel.”

Here are ICBC’s tips to help you adjust to the time change: • Plan to get to bed early on Saturday evening and go to bed at your regular time on Sunday to be ready for the Monday commute. • Be aware of how your body adapts to the time change and how that may affect your ability to concentrate and avoid hazards. Studies have shown that time changes can have an impact on the quality of our sleep due to more nighttime restlessness. While you may feel fine, your circadian rhythm can still be significantly disrupted af fecting your alertness while driving. • After many weeks of early sunrises, expect darker morning commutes and more vulnerable road users – cyclists and pedestrians – on the road as the weather warms up. • Prepare your vehicle for the change in conditions and darker morning commutes. Clean your vehicle’s headlights and check that they are all working properly, both high and low beam and rear lights.

B.C. residents will be able to buy B.C. wine from grocery stores by early next year, with some stores connected to liquor stores that offer full selection including hard liquor. The provincial government released its framework for a major overhaul of liquor policy Thursday. It proposes a small number of new licences for Vintners’ Quality Alliance (VQA) wine sales from grocery store shelves, with future expansion to include B.C.-made craft beer under the same licences. Richmond-Steveston MLA John Yap said all alcohol sales will be rung through at separate cash registers, with staff trained in an expanded “Serving It Right� course to check identification and sobriety. Customers will be able to stock up on groceries and alcoholic beverages in the same shopping cart, whether from in-store B.C. wine or products from a connected liquor store. Changes to take effect by this summer include licensing B.C. wine and beer sale and tasting at farmers’ markets, permitting “happy hour� drink discounts at licensed businesses and removing the requirement for fenced beer gardens at approved outdoor festivals. Yap said the government is adopting a recommendation from Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall and other health officials to tie prices to alcohol content, in an effort to reduce over-consumption. The government plans to maintain its cap on the number of liquor stores, with 670 private stores now in operation. Liquor stores are currently restricted to relocating no more than five km from their original location, but that restriction is being lifted so a licence can be sold or moved anywhere in the province. Yap said that would allow either a government or private liquor store to relocate next to a grocery store. Another major change in the works is to wholesale pricing from the government’s monopoly Liquor Distribution Branch. Currently private stores pay a 16 per cent discount off the government store retail price. Yap said the LDB will move to the same wholesale price for all stores, based on the value of each product, and retail prices will be set by a competitive market.

Abbotsford’s tax rates are in line with the B.C. average. “I’m pleased about that, and even with our property acquisitions we are still coming out ahead of our neighbours.� There are no new capital projects on the immediate horizon for Chilliwack, and the last big one was the Sardis library. It’s the first full year of library operations on the south side and the budget reflects that. Also they are saving funds in reserve for the eventual replacement of the Vedder Bridge, for example, which will be an infrastructure project funded in thirds by federal and provincial governments. Some citizens have suggested that

the city should opt for no tax increase at all, and to keep it at zero, but inflationary pressures like increased supply costs and wage increases make that impossible, noted the mayor. “Everything in the shopping basket goes up in price,� she added. The need to maintain services levels, improve public safety, while managing inflation are the reasons for the proposed tax increase, according to the staff report. Public works programs get a boost for the road rehabilitation program, and weed control.

Pornography and the adolescent brain I recently watched the movie Don Jon, where the main character, a young man in his early 20s, watches pornography constantly, claiming that he has done so for as long as he can remember. He observes that porn is saturated with onedimensional characters; it is one-sided and completely about him; and he feels it’s better than a relationship because it provides instant gratification, there is no work required, and there is no need to consider another person’s needs or desires. Fortunately, by the end of the movie he realizes that pornography does not, in fact, fulfill his needs and that connection with a real person – thinking about

their wants and needs – actually increases satisfaction and intimacy in a relationship. Between the ages of 12 and 24, the human brain undergoes a period of great neurop l a s t i c i t y, meaning Eryn that it is WICKER malleable and billions of new synaptic connections are being made. This leaves us vulnerable to the influence of our surroundings and leads our brains to be “wired” around the experiences and information that we receive

NEED FILLING

with their sexual performance and relationships. Men who sought help reported that many of their symptoms began to disappear. Youth who have healthy outlets that give them positive neural connections are not as vulnerable to the longterm impact of pornography use. It is important to recognize that positive choices and activities during the adolescent years can contribute to improved and positive brain development. In addition, from my own research: Pornography can cause shame, not only about the practice of viewing it, but also about masturbation and one’s body and self-image. According to studies, adolescent use of pornography decreased as their self-confidence and social development increased, which speaks to the need for social and emotional resiliency training in schools and at home. The biggest lesson in all of this is the importance of letting our children know that sexuality is nothing to be ashamed of. Young people should know that a filter on a computer can protect them from images that may be too much for their developing brains to handle. Likewise, parents and caregivers should take an active role by helping to guide and educate their children, without relying solely on the sex education provided in schools.

during that time. When young people experience such growth, change, and experimentation, we, as parents and caregivers, need to ask ourselves how can we provide the most supportive and brainhealthy environment for our children? Increased internet access by adolescents has created unprecedented opportunities for sexual education, learning, and growth. However, if pornography becomes a teen’s primary mode of sex education, it can be harmful to the brain’s sexual development. Brain chemistry can become shaped by the attitudes, images and situations that are being watched, including: expecting a similar heroin-like dopamine rush from all real-life sexual experiences; being wired to expect separation between sex and relationships; and believing that men’s and women’s bodies should be sexually exaggerated. Collette Bohach, a UFV Child and Youth Care student who is completing her practicum with our team at MCFD, recently wrote an article for a class she has with Dr. Rob Lees on this very topic: Pornography Addiction and the Teenage Brain. As I read her paper the following things stood out for me: Youth who engage in over-use of pornography begin to lose the ability to find pleasure in everyday things. Men seeking help reported that they did not even realize porn was creating problems until they were adults and it began to interfere

Jenny Clough: Helping to build a better world grew up in the Okanagan community of Summerland. While Jenny enjoyed living in the small community, she concedes that there wasn’t a whole lot to do there. Jenny was very active in theatre and her sister was equally artistic. “My sister had an amazing and beautiful voice,” she enthused. There was no question in Jenny’s mind that after graduation she would head off Ana to university. Her intention was to MACEDO pursue business and while she certainly started off headed down that path; she changed course mid-stream and went into psychology. “I got my psychology degree but eventually got back into business,” she laughed.

Now Jenny met a handsome young man while attending UBC and there was no doubt that the couple just clicked. “We got married in 1989 and moved to Whiterock,” she said, smiling. Doug was an engineer and an opportunity presented itself in Chilliwack that the young couple just couldn’t pass up. “Doug’s uncle started Omega Engineering but he retired and the business had long since lapsed. We purchased the name and started Omega Engineering as a brand new business. In 1995 we moved here when our daughter Brittany was just three months old. A new job, a new house and a new baby,” she chuckled heartily. The couple settled in Promontory and Jenny soon got involved in Hobby Hill Preschool. The go-getter then joined the team that set-up and organized Promontory Heights Community

School. Jenny was eventually hired as the school coordinator, a position that she held for five years. “They are still running some of the programs that I started back then. I absolutely loved every minute of it, but Brittany and Anthony moved on to middle school and then high school and at that point, it was time for me to move on.” While she remained involved in the family business, Jenny decided to open up a ladies fitness and health spa in Abbotsford and she ran the enterprise successfully for six years. However, in July 2013 she decided to sell the company. “While I owned the business, I developed the ‘Total Makeover Challenge.’ My goal was to help and motivate others to feel and look their best. There are so many people that are faced with some major challenges in their life and this was my way of helping people

deal with them and ultimately overcome them. There are some real success stories and it’s truly heartwarming,” she explained. Jenny has also been active in fund raising efforts for a variety of charities. “I’m especially passionate about organizations that help women and children.” Last year, she helped her daughter Brittany raise $10,000 for ‘Free the Children’. These days, our world has become rather small and Jenny has also developed a keen interest in our global village. “This November, I will be travelling with a group of women to Haiti as part of Compassion Canada. Our aim will be to help women and children get back on their feet in that country. I am so looking forward to this trip and am thinking ahead to what I can do next. Perhaps it will be Africa,” she smiled.

Jenny Clough is a woman with a ‘can-do’ attitude. Her enthusiasm is infectious and encourages those around her to be the best that they can be. So it should come as no surprise that Jenny is now focused on helping others not only locally but internationally as well. Her parents were born and raised in the United Kingdom. At the age of 19, they were married and decided to cross the Atlantic, with just $100 to their name, to seek new fortunes in Canada. Her mother began teaching almost immediately while her father got involved in the forestry industry. “Dad eventually went into construction and started his own business but he ended up losing his company during the economic crash of the 1970s. Unfortunately, my parents ended up divorced,” she said. Jenny and her younger sister

PPY A H

Thank you for joining me to honor International Women’s Day 2014. This year’s theme is INSPIRING CHANGE. Women’s equality has made positive gains but the world is still unequal. International Women’s Day celebrates the social, political and economic achievements of women while focusing world attention on areas requiring further action. Without change we have no growth. Let’s challenge the status quo! United Nations Women states “Women’s empowerment and gender equality are essential to environmental, social and economic progress”. Equality for Women is Progress for all.

up on her master’s degree in political science. Her husband was charged with attempted murder, but died in prison five months after the attack. Her commitment to education and unwillingness to concede in the face of incredible adversity makes Monzur an ideal keynote speaker for Abbotsford’s International Women’s Day event says Sharanjit Sandhra, coordinator of UFV’s Centre for Indo-Canadian Studies (CICS). According to Sandhra, who invited Monzur to participate, she exemplifies the challenges that led to the creation of the global activist movement called V-Day that grew into One Billion Rising events across the world. “For Rumana to have experienced such violence and aggression and come out not with bitterness, but with a renewed sense of spirit and drive to succeed is something that would motivate anyone,” says Sandhra, who is co-organizing the March 8 event. “We at the UFV Centre for IndoCanadian Studies are very proud to be a part of the annual International Women’s Day and the One Billion Rising celebrations because such events serve as reminders that underneath our different cultures, backgrounds, and overall life experiences, there is a narrative that

women all over the world share. This event is about empowerment and encouraging young girls and women to achieve to their fullest potential. That is what a woman like Rumana reminds us all to do.” One Billion Rising began as a call to action based on the staggering statistic that 1 in 3 women will be beaten or raped during her lifetime. With the world population at 7 billion, this adds up to more than one billion women and girls. As the founder of Girlkind Foundation (a group that fights gendercide, combats gender discrimination, and raise awareness for women’s rights), Deesh Sekhon feels the amalgamation of International Women’s Day and One Billion Rising events in Canada is a day to look at challenges, but also success. “It’s a day to celebrate the inspirational and brave work women around the world are doing to secure women’s and girl’s rights and create better and equitable societies,” she says. “It is also a day to reflect on the work that remains and remember the many women whose voices go unheard and who continue to be excluded from realizing their full potential. One Billion Rising will turn the world stage into an arena for events worldwide.” In addition to the Centre for IndoCanadian Studies and Girlkind, other

March 8, 2014

No challenge too great for women While business women have come a long way, it wasn’t all that long ago that women were more than likely to be found working in offices, retail stores and restaurants. However, today it’s commonplace to see women rivaling men in top-ranking jobs in corporations of every kind, in banking, in elected government positions, in every single known profession and in jobs where we never even imagined we would ever see women! And let’s not forget all those selfemployed women. In Canada, today,

approximately 1 in 10 women is selfemployed and although they are more likely to work part-time, they are often seen at the helm of small and medium sized companies as well as major corporations. In fact, the Canadian government reports that 47% of our small and medium businesses are owned by women.You may be surprised to learn that Canadian women now comprise the majority of full-time students in most university departments. And did you know that the current Government has the highest percentage

of women in Cabinet in Canadian history? There are 69 women in the House of Commons - the highest number ever elected. All those years of tenacity and determination have certainly paid off in paving the way for this generation of women and even more so for our daughters. From teachers, engineers, doctors and researchers, to astrophysicists and astronauts, the sky is the limit; no challenge will ever be too great for the women of tomorrow.

Celebrating Chilliwack’s Women in Business

March 8, 2014

Government launches International Women’s Week Ottawa- Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP, Mark Strahl, on behalf of the Honourable Kellie Leitch, Minister of Labour and Minister of Status of Women, is inviting constituents to celebrate International Women’s Week 2014, March 2 to 8. This year’s event will highlight the important role played by women entrepreneurs in the Canadian economy, with the theme: Strong Women. Strong Canada. Canadian Women –Creating Jobs One Business at a Time. “Entrepreneurs are the engines of

growth, the creators of jobs and the drivers of innovation on which our economy relies, and so it makes sense to celebrate women business owners during International Women’s Week 2014. These women make outstanding contributions to our economy every day and our Government is committed to supporting their success,” said Minister Leitch. International Women’s Day was established in Canada in 1977 following a United Nations resolution calling on member states to proclaim a day for

women’s rights and international peace. Since 2007, Status of Women Canada’s Women’s Program has provided more than $53 million in funding for projects that specifically focus on improving women’s economic security and prosperity, including over $9 million for projects which aid and support women’s entrepreneurship. In total the Government has supported 680 community-based projects. “We want to celebrate the significant contributions women in businesses make in building our economy and enriching

our local community. When women entrepreneurs win, we all win,” said Strahl. As of 2011, 15.6% of small and medium sized businesses in Canada were majority-owned by women. Women owned businesses currently employ over 1.5 million Canadians and contribute $148 billion to the Canadian economy.

When Donna Gumprich opened All Things Being Eco 51⁄2 years ago, her goal was to provide a one-stop organic shop with high quality organic, recycled, biodegradable and fair trade products at reasonable prices. Being the only Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland business of its kind catering to every aspect of green living, has proven to be a winning formula. The business has recently expanded in several ways. A physical expansion of the store has greatly increased the product lines and selection available. If you can’t make the trip to the store, the website has been upgraded to provide for online shopping with free shipping on orders over $150. All this growth has created the need for an additional staff member. Donna’s daughter Cabree is now a full-time employee at the store. This dynamic duo of women are proud to be two “Women In Business” who help drive Chilliwack’s economy.

Drive The base GLA 250 comes with a 2.0L turbocharged direct injection 4-cylinder with a healthy 208hp and 258 lb.-ft. of torque, the same as the B-Class and base CLA. There is plenty of acceleration and cruising on the highway is effortless.

Driving through the mountain canyons back from Granada to Malaga was a real treat. The countryside is rustic and beautiful and the twisty roads sublime. The base GLA never set a wheel wrong and the 7-speed duel-clutch automatic can be left in economy, sport or manual for each driving situation. All GLA models come with standard AWD and this system can detach the rear wheels and drive in FWD for better economy but switches seamlessly back when more traction or cornering capability is required, plus Dynamic Cornering Assist applies just a small amount of brake force to the inside wheel when cornering to aid in the process. The 45 AMG takes things to a completely new level. The 2.0L 4-cylinder is hand assembled and pumps out a whopping 355hp and 332 lb.-ft. of torque. The 7-speed transmission and AWD system have been adapted by AMG to deliver a go-cart like drive that is so reassuring and potent that it makes the driver look and feel fantastic. Cornering is effortless and the bigger wheels and lowered suspension give great feedback but it is not jarring. Verdict Mercedes Benz is enabling more people to access its brand with smaller less expensive vehicles. The new GLA 250 and GLA 45 AMG are certainly very attractive, powerful and fun vehicles to drive.

MALAGA, SPAIN - It might be winter here but it’s always nice to look forward to warmer days, filled with sun and clear roads. To get a sneak peek at what better weather looks and feels like, plus get a chance to drive the all new Mercedes GLA250 and GLA 45 AMG, the advanced drive program was held in Malaga, Spain. The GLA is built of the same platform as the hot, new CLA sedan that arrived last fall. Developing it into a taller, more practical small SUV is perfect for young families or couples that want the same underlying goodness that is in the CLA but with standard all wheel drive (AWD) and ease of use. Pricing has not been confirmed but when it arrives this fall, expect the same aggressive pricing that the CLA delivers. That car starts at $33,900 but with AWD comes up to $36,800.

What are my favourite trucks? – It’s a question readers ask me all the time in the supermarket and on the street. Though not in order of preference, here are my ten choices. 2014 GMC/Chevy Silverado/Sierra ½ ton pickup has gone through some monumental changes this year. What an improvement with a very comfortable and refined interior on all trim levels, and three engine choices, the Eco Tec 4.3-litre V6, 5.3-litre V8, and a 6.2-litre V8. 2015 Chevrolet Colorado. Very similar in design to its big brother the Silverado, this Mid-size truck fills a void in Canada. Still expected to work as hard as a full-size truck, the Colorado can tow more than 3,039 kilograms (6700 lbs) a 2.5L I-4 engine is standard with an optional 3.6L V6 with a six speed automatic transmission. 2015 GMC 3500HD Denali is a beast. This truck is built to pull and with 10,251 KG (22,600 lbs) of trailer towing capacity it does just that. The 6.6L V8 turbo engine delivers 397 hp and 765 lb ft of torque and is paired with a 1000 series Allison transmission. With interior upgrades such as 12-way power adjustable bucket seats, heated leather wrapped steering wheel and a Bose sound system you can operate it in comfort. 2014 Ford F150 Ecoboost: With more than 100,000 Eco Boost engines being produced monthly, you can bet a majority of these engines are finding their way into the 2014 F150 pickup. It holds the record in Canada for highest pickup sales, and at 12.9/9.0 L/100 km (city/highway) it keeps the money in your wallet a little longer. 2014 Ford Raptor is still one of my favorite off-road

previous two generations, a more “masculine” look and better driving dynamics. There are two engines to choose from: a 1.8L, 4-cylidner that produces 170

horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, and a 2.0L, 4-cylinder turbocharged (TSI) model with 200 horsepower with the manual transmission (but 210hp with the optional

automatic DSG) and 207 lb-ft of torque. Mazda MX-5 - $29,250 Given the title of the world’s most popular 2-seat sports car, it’s not hard to see why.

The front engine, rear-wheel drive Mazda MX-5 is a blast to drive. Ask anyone who has captained it. Whether taking it out for a spin on the road or the track,

this tiny two-door has nothing but good times woven into its sheet metal. The Mazda MX-5’s manual vinyl top takes only a few seconds to drop down, allow-

Perhaps it might be too early to start thinking of going topless. Then again, maybe not. Dreaming about the days when we don’t need to crank the heat to full blast in the house, or bundle up to go outside to shovel snow are warming thoughts. And so is the thought of open air driving. Here are five convertibles under $30K that might help beat the winter blahs and get you thinking about the sun. Fiat 500C - $16,495 As if the Fiat 500 wasn’t cute enough, there’s also a drop top version to give it even more character. The Pop trim has a starting price of $16,495, whereas the Lounge trim is still starts under $20K at $19,895. Both come with a 1.4L, 4-cylinder MultiAir engine, which produces 101 horsepower and 98 lb-ft of torque. Okay, I know that’s not an incredible amount of ponies but, hey, we’re all equal is stop-and-go traffic, right? To catch the attention of fellow commuters, the 500C comes with the option of 3 canvas top colours and 14 different exterior hues. You can even retract the roof while driving. Push the poweroperated canvas roof button once and it will open the top to the midway position at speeds up to 96 km/hr. Push it again, and it retracts behind the rear head restraints at speeds up to 80 km/hr. VW Beetle Convertible $29,075 One of the most recognizable vehicles on the road is the VW Beetle. And its convertible version offers a very similar silhouette as its coupe sibling, thus helping it easily be spotted. The latest generation of German convertible is better than ever.

The Nissan Leaf: A car that drives and parks itself It is pouring with rain so the car drops you off at the supermarket entrance and heads off on its own to find a parking spot way the heck and yonder at the other end of the mall. When you have finished your Big Shop for the week, it is still raining cats, dogs and frogs so you hit the button on the key fob. The car returns from wherever it was and you load up with nary a drop of the wet stuff falling on your head. Futuristic fantasy? – Well, getting your hands on the key fob to an autonomous drive car may mean a wait until 2020 when Nissan plans to

begin selling that feature in multiple vehicles. However, a car capable of doing the task described in a driverless mode is here in the now. Nissan granted yours truly the opportunity recently to take a spin in a driverless electric-powered LEAF. Actually, the word spin doesn’t truly describe what was a very smooth and controlled ride around a course loaded with obstacles, traffic lights turning red, cars changing lanes unexpectedly and automated pedestrians wondering out in front of us – if ‘me’ and the car counts as an ‘us’.

driven by a human changed lanes ahead of us on the offroad circuit. I would have hit the phoney ped that bounded out from the curb but not this ghost driver that took instantaneous evasive action. My drive was on an airportbased circuit away from the real world, while over in Japan Nissan has conducted some demonstrations on freeways. By the end of this year, a dedicated track featuring real townscapes – masonry, not model buildings - will be ready. It will enable testers to push the vehicles impossible to carry out on public roads to

The LEAF looked like any normal edition but was loaded with 360-degree cameras, laser scanners, radar and other ‘electrickery’, as a TV character called Catweazle once described the workings of a light bulb. I felt like that character from my childhood, who incidentally was a caveman hurled through time into the 1960s. The car pulled away smoothly, stopped at those red lights and signalled turns, a sequence of manouevres rarely witnessed on our roads when there are humans at the wheel. It slowed when a car

ensure the technology is safe. When the car is available for real world driving, a combination of GPS navigation and a tablet-style screen will enable the non-driving driver to direct the car to work, home, play or park with precision. You will be able to drive your favourite routes and it will map and record the preferences for future trips. The mock supermarketshopping demo was the most enjoyable part of my experience because driving around full parking lots looking for a space is not my favourite pastime. That said,

I’m not thrilled at the thought of fun being removed from my daily driving. I like the use of technologies to avoid crashes but I can’t foresee a time when I would want to commit to fully-autonomous driving. Not because I don’t trust the technology but because I enjoy the challenges thrown up my daily drive. And I have this fear that many will allow their skills to diminish but just relying on technology to get them out of trouble. Do you agree or am I caveman like Catweazle? keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

YO U R TO DRIVE

2.0L, 4-cylinder engine with an output of 167 horsepower and 140 lb-ft of torque. There’s also the option to outfit the MX-5 with various transmissions: a 5-speed manual, a 6-speed manual, a 6-speed automatic or a 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters, there’s fun to be had by all. Mustang Convertible - $29,499 Under the hood of this American muscle car, the Ford Mustang’s 3.7L, V6 engine will give you the grunt and glory of 305 horsepower. You’ll also be able to fit four people inside along with 272L of cargo around back. Despite the healthy dose of ponies under the hood, wrangling this convertible is anything but a chore. With either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic transmission, you’d be pleasantly surprised as to how gracious this ‘Stang can be to drive. Then again, if you want to fire this rear-wheel drive vehicle up, you might just giggle in the process. MINI Convertible - $29,500 There’s something to be said about driving a MINI. It’s unlike any other experience out there. It feels like driving a street-legal go-kart, but without the abrasiveness that go-karts can have. Its pristine handling and fabulous gearbox only enhance the experience. Granted, visibility out the rear with the top up isn’t fabulous, and there isn’t a lot of trunk space (but there still is room for four!), those are secondary details. Take the 121 horsepower MINI Convertible for a spin and fall in love with things that come in small packages. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

Confessions of a Curber It happened just after the last flood. The T winter beat records for snowfall, and springtime saw serious seriou flooding. Basements filled, streets were running with water, and cars were left to float and sink. One day, I walked past a junk yard and saw, what I thought, was a rrelatively normal car.

the vehicle could get a person from A to B. Suddenly, I had an idea. Since the car looked fine on the outside, no one had to know its real history. I was a genius. After a night in the garage with a heater and a little scrubbing, I posted an ad on Craigslist: “2004 black Toyota Corolla for sale. No longer need, bought new car. No room in garage – need to sell ASAP!!! Few scratches, otherwise in great condition. Call cell and we’ll talk price.” Thirty minutes later I got a call from a sixteen-year old kid – a little younger than my son. We decided to meet at the local mall at about 6:00. I wonder if his parents knew what he was up to. I arrived at 6:20, telling him I was in a great rush as I had to pick my son up from soccer practice. Turns out he played, too. After some soccer gossip, we got down to business. I knew that a kid his age just wanted a ride to show off to his friends, so we spent little time on the details. I told him the car was in perfect condition and was never in any accidents. “No problems as far as I know,” I said. The kid was sold. He trusted me. I never gave him my full name, and he never gave me his. He gave me the cash, I gave him the car. All was good. I was on my way. A few days later, I saw a TV program that talked about flood damaged vehicles. Apparently, flooding can damage the computer systems, which control things like the brakes and steering. And flood vehicles can’t be registered or insured. Who knew? My mind immediately went to the kid I sold the vehicle to. I felt a twinge of guilt. Then my eyes darted to my stash of cash. Two weeks later, I had another car up for sale. Stay tuned!

I still remember r rs time. It was my first eas So thrilling. so easy. And I walked away with a couple of thousa bucks in thousand pocket my pocket. Not bad for hou work. a few hours’ What’s it doing here? he I thought. Apart from a coup couple of scratches on the outside ou and some moist seats, sea the vehicle seemed road roadworthy. I immediately asked about the car. I was told that th it was found full of flood w flood water. Its previous owner wanted nothing to do with it. I bought the car fo for a couple hundred dollars. do I didn’t even have to register it in my name. n Originally, I had no n intention of doing what I did. I wanted to sell the car for parts. But, the engine still worked worke and

Early E ly pplayoff l y ff upsets p The Vernon vs West Kelowna series is the toughest to pick and should end up being the best series of the first round, writes Jacob Bestebroer

Holly Cooper (aka Robbin the Hood) bursts past a wall of players from Team Black while jamming for Team White during the NWO Honey Badgers Junior Roller Derby league’s first house game of the season on Saturday at the Landing Sports Centre. The Honey Badgers will play the Spruce City Derby Brats April 26. Meanwhile, the all-female adult NWO Roller Girls host the Rated PG Rollergirls, with both games played at the Landing Sports Centre.

Falcons a favourite at basketball provincials For a second straight year the Sardis secondary school Falcons will battle for a provincial senior boys basketball title. The championship chase starts Wednesday at the Langley Events Centre, with the Falcons and Kelowna Owls squaring off in the provincial tournament opener. “We played them this year and won by 10 in our home gym,” said Sardis coach Kyle Graves. “But they’re a really hard working team and they have some of the best Grade 10 players in the province.” The Falcons didn’t make it easy on themselves getting here. After walloping Heritage Park 78-62 in their Fraser Valley playoff opener, Sardis stumbled in a 76-46 loss to the Gleneagle Talons. That left them in do-or-die territory, with two Abbotsford opponents standing between them and a berth in the 69th annual provincial championships. They faced the Yale Lions last Thursday, and had to rally from 20 down to escape

with a 74-73 win. “This year, we’ve been favourites all the way, where last year we were in the easier position of underdog,” Graves said. “I think they just hit a snag against Yale where they were mentally tired. They really had to bring themselves back from the dead in that one.” They thumped the W.J. Mouat Hawks 96-82 the next night, finally securing the provincial spot they’ve seemed pre-destined for before this season even began. “I’d consider it an amazing accomplishment making it two years in a row,” Graves said. “Only three or four teams are back from last year’s tournament, so that says a lot about our group. It’s been a lot of hard work building up to this moment.” With a lot of work to come. The Owls are a daunting opening opponent. “But as long as we match their work ethic, I think our experience should be the difference,” Graves noted. “And

I’m glad we didn’t get the 8:30 a.m. game this year. This one’s at 10, which means our players can sleep in their own beds and pretty much get up when they usually do.” A win against the Owls would send the Falcons on to a game against Gleneagle, with that playoff loss sticking in their minds. “We imploded in that one game, but we know then very well,” Graves said. “We beat them twice last year and once earlier this year. They’ll be tough, but I’m happy to stay away from Tamanawis, who I didn’t really want to see until the semi-finals.” Graves views the Wildcats as a lock for the final four, with a team that’s played together year-round for the last two years. “Then you have the Sir Winston Churchill Bulldogs (Vancouver) on the other side, and they’ve been ranked No. 1 for most of the year,” Graves said. “The Holy Cross Crusaders (Surrey) are this year’s evil private school, with

a lot of good players showing up on their doorstep.” Graves has said all along that his team can go toe-to-toe with anyone talent wise. His big guns are well known — Hayden Lejeune, Eric Rogers and Cam Servatius will have to be at the top of their games. But it’s an under-the-radar guy who could be the true difference maker. “Colin Kellington, not many people know about him yet, but he’s knocked down five threes over the last couple games,” Graves said. “He hit a free throw with three seconds left to get us past Yale, which is really something, for a young kid to do that in that situation.” Team captain Grayden Northey could also tip the scales. “He really stepped up in the elimination games, hitting clutch free throws and playing great defence,” the coach said. “He really wants it and he’s taking it personally to lead the team.” Follow all the games online at bcboysbasketball.com.

The first round of the BCHL playoffs started earlier this week with a couple of surprises. The third place Coquitlam Express took game two in Prince George to even their series at one, and the fourth place Surrey Eagles are also tied 1-1 with first place Langley. Quick tangent here. Why is the league back to starting the playoffs mid-week? They understandably do everything they can to avoid mid-week games during the regularr season, but would it not make more sense to playy a few more mid-week games during the regularr season, end the season a week earlier and let the teams who earned home ice advantage start theirr series with weekend games? I’m going to answerr my own question: yes. The biggest surprise so far is the Alberni Valleyy Bulldogs and Victoria Grizzlies series tied at one. T he Grizzlies finished with 29 more points than The the Bulldogs during the regular season. The one series I thought we might see an upset in hasn’tt played out that way so far. I thought the Nanaimo Clippers might upset the Powell River Kings butt the Kings lead that series 2-0. No surprise at all in the Interior where the Penticton Vees hold a 2-0 series lead on the Merritt Centennials and the West Kelowna Warriors and Vernon Vipers are tied at one. The Vernon vs West Kelowna series is the toughest to pick and should end up being the best series of the first round. The Chiefs held their end of season awards banquet on Sunday. The full list of winners can be found on the Chiefs website. The big winners w ere Mathieu Tibbet (MVP/Top Scorer/3 Stars), were T anner Cochrane (Fan Favorite and Unsung Tanner Hero) and Carter Cochrane (Top Defenseman and Rookie of the Year). Tibbet also finished his BCHL career with the BCHL Player of the Month A ward after scoring 11 goals and 5 assists during Award the month of February. The BCHL also handed out their regularr season awards this week and congrats go outt to Chiefs Alum Bobby Henderson who was named BCHL Coach of the Year after leading the Langley Rivermen to a first overall finish. T he league MVP is Landon Smith of the Salmon The A rm Silverbacks. I’m surprised at that choice. I Arm don’t question the fine season he had. He led the league in goals (43) and tied for the league lead in points (83) but the Silverbacks didn’t make the playoffs. My vote would have gone to Penticton captain Brad McClure. He scored 41 goals, had 80 points and his team finished in first place in the Interior. That’s it for me this season. Thank you to everyone for their feedback throughout the yearr and I look forward to seeing you at the rink in September. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Lovely takes heavyweight crown SHARE • GROW • BELONG 02/14F_CCS21

In Tuesday’s Chilliwack Progress sports section, Cohen Bogart was incorrectly identified as the winner of the men’s heavyweight division of the Sardis Strongman competition. Points-wise, Bogart finished in a tie for first with Connor Lovely, each of them at 41 points. But Lovely took the crown in the tiebreaker event, beating Bogart in a tug-of-war.

son, the Pandas won 59-41 without a single player hitting 10 points. The Cascades have racked up some impressive wins as well, including last week’s two game playoff demolition of the Calgary Dinos. UFV will need a strong performance from point guard Aieisha Luyken (Mission). Ukrainian import Nataliia Gavryliuk has become one of UFV’s leading scorers in the second half of the sea-

They trailed by as many as 20 points in the fourth quarter and will need to play tougher defense, both on the boards and in transition, if they wish to challenge the Pandas. Alberta starts three players over six feet, with more tree-like players coming off the bench. The Pandas only have one player among the top 30 in Canada West scoring (Andrea Carlyon at 10.5 points per game), but they roll with a balanced attack that gets the job done. In that early November game against UFV, Panda point guard Renee Byrne shot four-of-eight from three point land on her way to 17 points. In game against Regina earlier this sea-

The University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team (19-5) hopes the fourth time’s the charm as they head into the 2014 CIS Final Four tournament. It gets underway today, with UFV taking on the University of Alberta Pandas (22-2) in a tough semi-final draw. If the Cascades get by the Pandas, they’ll face either the Regina Cougars or Saskatchewan Huskies in the final. By the same token, a

loss would leave them facing one of those two teams in a bronze-medal match. This is UFV’s fourth consecutive appearance, with four soon-tobe graduating seniors on the roster. They enter the tournament on a seven game winning streak, which sounds impressive. But the Pandas haven’t lost since early November, and hold the No. 3 spot in the national rankings. Only the Windsor Lancers and St. Mary’s Huskies are more highly regarded than UFV’s day-one opponent. The fifth-ranked Cascades played one game against the Pandas early in the season, losing by a sizeable margin (73-61).

Strachan Elsie

“...and we will also love you forever.” Elsie passed away peacefully, taking her last breath at the age of 82 at the Cascade Hospice on March 2, 2014 after surviving for two weeks following a hemorrhagic stroke. Mom, along with her brother George, was born a twin to a large family in Rycroft, Alberta on May 22, 1931. She left home at a very early age to live with her sister Anne in Edmonton and worked as a waitress until she obtained employment working in a mining camp kitchen in Yellowknife. Later, in a mining camp in BC, she met her future husband, Jim. They were married in Kaslo 1952. In the early years of their marriage they moved to many communities and jobs throughout BC before finally settling in Sardis in 1960. Following a brief foray to Mackenzie they moved back to Sardis two blocks from where they originally settled. A few years after the death of her husband she sold her home and moved into an apartment, still in Sardis, where she spent her remaining years playing bingo, watching the ducks and geese at Sardis Park and going to the mall for seven up and scones with her friend James. Elsie is survived by her son Jim (Jody); her daughter Ellen Bone (Tom); granddaughter Ellery; grandson Faukes; two brothers in Alberta and several nieces and nephews. She is also survived by her good friend James Knight. She was predeceased by her husband, James Barclay Strachan in 1991 and many of her brothers and sisters. Elsie was a devoted wife, mother and grandmother and “the Skip-Bo Queen of the World”. Many thanks go to the doctors and caregivers of 4 South Chilliwack General Hospital, Cascade Hospice and Henderson’s Funeral Home for seeing to the post-mortem arrangements. There will be no service by request.

Heath, Albert “Gordon” Oct 3, 1915 - Feb. 21, 2014

Dad passed away peacefully on Friday, Feb. 21 at Chilliwack General Hospital with his two daughters Janet and Wendy at his side. Gordon was predeceased by his wife of 63 years on November 10, 2002. He was also predeceased by all of his siblings. Dad is survived by his children Fred and Beryl Heath, Janet and Don Fulton, Wendy and Darryl Palmer, Kevin and Tangerine Heath; grandchildren Ken and Marie, Pam and Jason, Gord and Sanjeline, Dan and Nicole, Tom and Lia, Kate, Tamara & Pete, Shaunna & Chris, Gavin, Curtis; and numerous great & great great grandchildren; nieces and nephews. Gordon lived his life as a strong, reliable, committed and caring man. He was devoted to his wife and family. Gordon was proud of and loyal to serving the City of Chilliwack as Superintendent of Public Works for 30 years from 1950 until his retirement in 1980. Of his commitment to those who worked for him he said “I never fire a man because if I did I would not be able to help them.” Which he continued to help people throughout his life whenever he could. A man with a big heart he was. As well as enjoying golf (he had 6 holes in one) and was very proud; he also enjoyed fishing. He and the family spent many summers at Timothy and Loon Lake. He also loved curling of which he was the proud owner of the “eight ender” picture that he and his team won one year. After a long and full life Dad has gone to be home with the “Big Man above”. A service for dad will be held at St. Thomas Anglican Church, 46048 Gore Ave in Chilliwack at 1:00pm, Saturday, March 29th. A tea will follow at the church hall.

After a long and happy life full of adventure, Betty has left us to look after things ourselves. She passed peacefully on the morning of February 12th with her son Allan at her side. Betty was born in Innisfail Alberta to Pitner and Mary Osmond. Betty tragically lost both of her parents to illness before the age of ten and was separated from her younger sister Eleanor for the remainder of her upbringing as they were raised by different relatives. At the age of 17 she lied about her age in order to get into nursing school in Panoka Alberta. She was trained as a Psychiatric Nurse and worked in various locations throughout BC including Vernon Jubilee and Riverview Hospitals. Betty met and married Glen Thorpe in Vernon BC prior to his deployment overseas where he was killed during WWII. In 1946 she married Jack Hunt with whom she raised two sons (Allan and Norman). During their years in Vernon they owned a small farm and operated a butcher shop. In 1964 Betty and Jack moved to Coquitlam where they both retired from their respective careers. Retirement eventually found them living on Salt Spring Island for 10 years followed by their move to Chilliwack in 1986. Betty and Jack adored their grandchildren and spent much of their time visiting and supporting their various activities and adventures. Jack predeceased Betty in 1990. Though they were mostly raised apart, Betty maintained a close relationship with her sister Eleanor Dungate and her family until her passing in 2001. She often spoke of how much she missed her sister in recent years. In 1993 Betty married Al Waite, whose family had been friends for many, many years. Together they embarked on many cross country adventures in their trailer, cruised to too many ports of call to mention and made many friends throughout the world. In 2009, Betty received the surprise of her life when her first born son (whom she had given up for adoption at the age of 21) found her family in Chilliwack and wanted to meet. Since then Betty has been blessed to get to know Bill and some of his family and even made a trip to Alberta in 2012 to visit his family in his home town. As time took its toll on Betty and Al’s health, they found that their needs were better met in assisted living. They were always supported by Betty’s son Allan and family who lived locally. Sadly, in 2011 Al passed after a lengthy illness. The Waite family would continue to love, support and treat Betty as one of their own. Shortly after Al’s passing, Betty continued her adventure by moving in with her Granddaughter Kristen and her husband Chad. Together they had many special times, shared much laughter and had the opportunity to grow closer. Betty loved “her” cat Molly who she was always giving treats to and Sammy (the German Shepherd) who came along on all adventures in the car and who went to bed with her every night. Betty is survived by her three sons; Bill (Lorna) Stutchbury of Barrhead AB; Allan (Sonja) Hunt of Chilliwack and Norman (Marilyn) Hunt of Aldergrove; Granddaughters Kristen (Chad) MacPherson of Chilliwack and Lisa (Matt) Tatarniuk and Grandson Danny Hunt of Langley; Great Grandson AJ Raposo of Portugal and Great Granddaughters Caetlynn and Sidney of Langley; Nieces Sandra (Tim) Mah and Kathleen (Warren) Wilson, both of Kamloops. She is remembered by Al’s family, daughters Myra Merkal (Steve), Sylvia Sax (Bo), sons Carter Waite (Fiona) and Roger Waite (Kim) and their families. Granny is missed greatly by pets Sammy, Molly and Maggie too. Betty was predeceased by her Granddaughter Jody Stutchbury. Many thanks to the staff at Cascade Lodge (especially Theresa, Heidi, Kelsey, Gary, Nasar, Nicole, Maria and Katherine) who made Betty’s time with them as comfortable as possible. A celebration of Life will be held on April 25th at 2pm, Cooke’s Prebyterian Church in Chilliwack. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities. 03/14W_OW7

Herbert William 1925 – 2014

We sadly announce that our dear husband, father and (great) grandpa passed away on February 28, 2014 after a lengthy battle with multiple myeloma. Bert is survived by his loving wife of 61 years, Sheila, and children Yvonne (Ron), David (Colleen), Michael (Stephanie), Jacqueline (Brett), Nancy (Jim) and grandchildren, Nigel (Danielle), Alicia (Andy), Garrett (Sarah), Leanne, Shelby, Brittney, Brendan, Chelsea, Gabrielle, Chloe, Daniel, Marcus & Gregory, as well as great grandchildren Liam and Presley. Born in Islington, Highbury England, Bert and his family immigrated to Canada in 1955 and made it their home. Bert trained in England as a civil engineer and continued in his passion and profession for the majority of his life in Canada. He was a proud member of the 3rd Field Squadron of the Militia Unit in Ottawa during the 60’s before moving to Western Canada in the 70’s Among Bert’s many accomplishments was the design of bridges for the BC Department of Forestry which included the design of the bridges used during the 2010 Winter Olympics cross country ski trails. Bert was a proud member of the APEG and a life member of the Institution of Civil Engineers. Special thanks to Dr. Page and all the doctors and caregivers of the Fraser Health Authority. A special thanks to Dr. GaIbraith and the nurses of the Abbotsford Cancer Unit. In lieu of flowers a donation may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date We will love and miss you always. Sleep, my love, and peace attend thee All through the night Guardian angels God will send thee All through the night Soft the drowsy hours are creeping Hill and dale in slumber sleeping I my loving vigil keeping All through the night Henderson’s Funeral Homes & Crematorium Ltd.
