Chilliwack mom, kids bounced from bus
■ M ONSTER M OVIE
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It was her babies’ first bus ride, and it ended in tears. Chilliwack mom Sasha Selby said she complained to BC Transit after she was prevented from boarding a bus in downtown Chilliwack with her two toddlers and a double stroller in tow. Selby was “disgusted” by her treatment by a bus driver of a #1 bus on May 8. She took to social media “as a warning to other moms” after walking home partway in the pouring rain. The driver told BC Transit officials he offered Selby the option of collapsing the streamlined jogging stroller and getting on the bus. But that doesn’t jive with her version of the story “We got down there no problem and had a fantastic meal,” Selby recounted about the kids’ first bus trip downtown. “Then we waited for the bus. When it came the driver said, ‘Nope! Your double wide stroller is too wide, you can’t catch the bus.’” Selby said she was in tears from the frustration of being suddenly stranded. She wasn’t given any options or she would have complied. “I told him I lived in Sardis Park and at this point it is coming down in buckets out there. My kids are soaked.” She was humiliated so she backed the stroller off the bus. “I was feeling super uncomfortable.” The driver told her there were size restrictions for strollers on the bus, and he was already “six minutes” behind schedule, implying that she should hurry up and move along.

Crews began filming Monster Trucks, a Paramount Pictures production, in downtown Chilliwack yesterday. Tuesday’s shots featured a police chase going north on Young Road, west on Wellington Avenue, north on Mill Street, and west on Court Lane. Above is a view of Mill Street.

Homeless numbers ‘fairly flat’ across FV Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Homeless numbers are down significantly in Chilliwack compared to the last survey, according to preliminary totals from the 2014 FVRD Homeless Count released Tuesday. “What we know, after doing this now for the fourth time in a decade, is that since 2004 homelessness is not just a Metro Vancouver issue, it is indeed an issue here in our communities as well,” said Homeless Count research coordinator Ron Van Wyk, in a presentation to FVRD
Regional and Corporate Services Committee. Last time they conducted the survey in Chilliwack in 2011, there were 111 who self-identified as homeless, but that total dipped to 73 people in the 2014 Homeless Count. The homelessness count is a “snapshot” or moment-in-time survey, conducted at the same time as the Metro Vancouver count over a 24-hour period in March. The total of homeless people living in the FVRD has remained “fairly flat,” from 2011 to 2014, Van Wyk said, with the numbers notching up from 345 to 346.
It’s still well below the record high for the region of 465 homeless enumerated in 2008. Across the region, homelessness rose to some degree in Abbotsford, Mission and Boston Bar. When asked what would end their plight of being homeless, the answer most often given was “affordable housing.” From 2011 to 2014, Abbotsford went from a count of 117 homeless to 151, while Mission’s numbers went from 54 to 75 people. Hope went from 43 to 22, also marking a decrease in the homeless population.
Agassiz-Harrison remained the same with 20 people, and Boston Bar found five people homeless, which is up from zero in 2011. “Overall it is fairly stable, and so it’s plausible to argue the reason why it remains stable, I would think, is that there are organizations that do a lot of creative stuff.” Partnerships and MOUs established between local governments and BC Housing were given the nod, which have resulted in “several new facilities and services in the past six years,” Van Wyk said.

Intervenors pepper pipeline firm with questions Jeff Nagel Black Press The provincial government has filed 70 questions for Kinder Morgan about its proposed Trans Mountain oil pipeline twinning and that request for information is slender compared to others. Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver has lodged his own submission that poses nearly 500 questions to the company. The City of Burnaby, another intervenor demanding answers as part of the National Energy Board review, has filed a 300-page request containing 1,500 questions. Topping Burnaby’s list is a
demand to know what alternative terminal sites Kinder Morgan could use instead of greatly expanding the petroleum tank farm at the Westridge Marine Terminal on Burrard Inlet. Asked if that means pushing for a different terminal in Surrey or Delta, with tankers instead entering the Fraser River, Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan pointed to the U.S., noting Kinder Morgan already has a spur pipeline running to refineries in Washington State. “We want to know if they considered places like Cherry Point that are already well-equipped to move oil,” Corrigan said.
Cities vote to reject pipeline and ambulance changes
He said that site just across the U.S. border would shorten the amount of pipeline required and eliminate project impacts in Metro Vancouver. “I know there is already a holding tank farm in Sumas. That type of location is far easier to accommodate expansion than the top of Burnaby Mountain.” As for whether Burnaby’s list of questions is excessive, Corrigan noted Kinder Morgan’s project application is 15,000 pages long. “One question for every 10 pages is probably reasonable.” The province’s questions target land and marine oil spill response, prevention and recovery systems.
“We are asking the company to provide more detail than is contained in their application so that we can continue our analysis of the extent to which they will deliver the world-class systems that we require,” Environment Minister Mary Polak said. She promised a “very thorough” defence of B.C. interests and its five conditions for new heavy oil pipelines. Those conditions include “world-leading” spill safeguards as well as resolution of aboriginal issues and a “fair share” share of economic benefits for the province. Unlike the NEB’s marathon hearings into Enbridge’s proposed
Northern Gateway pipeline across northern B.C. to Kitimat, the revised federal process no longer allows oral cross-examination of witnesses. Polak said the province had to shift its strategy to using detailed information requests as result. The $5.4-billion project would nearly triple Kinder Morgan’s pipeline capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day and greatly increase the number of tankers passing through Vancouver harbour. Weaver, the Green MLA for Oak Bay-Gordon Head, said he has many unanswered questions on the science Kinder Morgan has Continued: KM/ p4

Jeff Nagel Black Press Lower Mainland civic politicians voted last week to oppose the Kinder Morgan oil pipeline twinning and call for an overhaul of recent dispatch changes slowing ambulance response times many calls. Those were among the resolutions passed at the Lower Mainland Local Government Association that will be forwarded to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention this fall. The vote opposing Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion – which would triple oil pipeline capacity through the Lower Mainland and result in a five-fold jump in outbound oil tanker traffic – narrowly passed in a standing vote at the conference in Whistler. Some cities, such as Vancouver and Burnaby, already outright oppose the project, while others await more information through the National Energy Board’s review. Lower Mainland delegates also voted for a resolution calling for an effective patient-centred emergency response service using fire, rescue and ambulance services working together. It cited an “unprecedented downloading of costs and risk onto local government first responders” by the controversial move last fall to downgrade various non-urgent 911 calls for dispatch by ambulance at routine speeds, without lights and sirens. Cities and fire departments complain it’s meant much longer ambulance waits for many patients, although provincial emergency health officials contend it’s allowed faster response to the most urgent calls, with less risk of traffic crashes caused by high-speed ambulances. New Westminster Coun. Chuck Puchmayr, the new president of the LMLGA, said part of the problem is a shortage of ambulance paramedics in the Lower Mainland, as well as chronic congestion in the region’s hospitals. “The hospitals are bursting at the seams with emergency patients and paramedics are not able to get back into the queue to respond to these other calls,” Puchmayr said. “They’re waiting there with patients to legally transfer them over to emergency department staff. And that’s causing a huge delay.” Motions from Squamish and Langley City also demand provincial government aid to cover cities’ costs from firefighter first responders waiting longer for ambulances to arrive.

Additionally, 16 teams participated, including four schools. The event raised $19,500 which will go towards purchasing three, $6,000 Enotonox systems for the delivery rooms in the maternity department at Chilliwack General Hospital. The system is used for patient-administered inhalation of nitrous oxide and oxygen gas for procedural pain relief.

Kent prisoner found dead in his cell Jessica Peters Black Press A man who had just begun serving a life sentence for first degree murder has died at Kent Institution. David Langlet, from Langley, was convicted on Dec. 9 2013, 13 years after Shane Murray Preece was shot dead in a Jeep Cherokee near J.D.’s Family Restaurant in North Surrey.
Customers at the restaurant who had stepped outside for a cigarette reported hearing several shots coming from the alley, just before midnight on June 12, 2000. It wasn’t until October 2013, after the Surrey RCMP Unsolved Homicide Unit reopened the case, that police arrested and charged Langlet. Langlet had no possibility of parole for 25 years.

said he was found unresponsive in his cell on Friday, May 9, While staff members performed CPR immediately and emergency services were called, Langlet could not be resuscitated. As in all cases involving the death of an inmate, the police and the coroner have been notified, and CSC will review the circumstances of the incident.

Polak says province won’t bend to MMBC holdouts Farm and garden suppliers eye own recycling program Jeff Nagel Black Press Several agricultural businesses are vowing to defy Multi Material BC and refuse to pay into the new package recycling system. Kelvin McCulloch, CEO of the Buckerfield’s chain of farm supply stores, said his firm and other mainly garden suppliers will try to develop their own stewardship program to collect and recycle their packaging in compliance with provincial government regulation. He said he’s abandoned hope the government might freeze the MMBC system, set to take effect May 19, and added a court challenge is one option if setting up a separate program proves unworkable. Several letters sent by firms including Eddi’s Wholesale Garden Supplies, Cinnabar Valley Farms
and Cobs Breads have gone to government serving notice they won’t comply. McCulloch maintains MMBC is an illegitimate, unaccountable “monopoly� that businesses have been “coerced� by the province to join because there’s no real alternative. Higher fees than are charged by a similar package-and-paper recycling scheme in Ontario is a key complaint. But Environment Minister Mary Polak said misinformation about the program is rampant in the business community and much of it is coming from McCulloch. “He refuses to listen to the information provided him,� she said, adding Buckerfield’s is likely largely exempt from MMBC fees because most of its products go to farms, ALL DASYT!
BREAKFA
not consumers. Likewise, she said, many other businesses wrongly believe their fees will be much higher than is the case, due to either low flat fees or exemptions for all but the largest generators of packaging. The decision to make companies whose packaging enters the waste stream responsible for
the costs of handling it was a national agreement with other environment ministers, she said. Those who want to go their own way can still pursue an alternative stewardship system, Polak said, adding breweries are advancing their own system

Survey offers snap shot of homeless in the Fraser Valley SURVEY from Front service agencies, government ministries and volunteer groups have been proactively working to reduce the number of people on the streets. Local initiatives include housing outreach assistance, street nurses, improved shelter programs, and housing linked to supportive services. He mentioned the School Street project in Chilliwack, the
Christine Lamb facility in Abbotsford, as well as facilities in Mission that have come on-stream. “All that work contributes to the fact that the numbers remain more or less the same,” he said. About 32 per cent told volunteers they were born and raised in the FVRD area, while a bigger proportion, 68 per cent, come to valley from outside the region. There are more men than women who are
homeless, and most at 73 per cent are considered “unsheltered,” which is the technical term for living on the streets. A significant proportion are on welfare, about 30 per cent, while 13 per cent receive disability benefits, other are binning or bottle recycling. Many reported living with health conditions, such as asthma, arthritis or hypertension. Similar to previous
CI
findings nationwide, a significant proportion, or 22 per cent, self reported struggling with mental health illnesses or issues. Those who say they struggle with mental health and addictions put together are a significant number: 64.2 per cent. It’s a “challenging” situation and also by definition a health issue, said Van Wyk, who is also associate ED of the Mennonite Central

ive housing. Sometime the net has a few holes in it when they come out of incarceration, and they end up living where they’re living.” Van Wyk was careful how he phrased things. “I don’t say this in a derogatory way, but those who are living homeless, they are messed up,” he said. Many have had unconventional childhoods with “unbelievable forms of abuse.” What is needed in the wake of closed institutions in B.C., is “humane institutionalization,” and a way to deal with the culture of substance abuse. “It’s not that some people have chosen to become homeless. It’s that some of us are more resilient than others.” Some just “buckle under.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

If that’s not there, there’s not much we can do.” In terms of finding solutions, Van Wyk listed: increased health services; access to physicians; more treatment facilities; and support for those coming out of incarceration. “We have to help provide a net that can catch them, that they can land on, to give them an on-ramp to support-

Chilliwack transit officials say their driver did nothing wrong when he denied access to a woman, her two children and their stroller, and left them to walk home in the rain. (See story, front page.) But could he have done something better? Social media lit up Friday evening after the young mom posted her ordeal, which started with a lunch with the kids at a downtown restaurant and ended with a tearful five-kilometre hike home in the rain. She got downtown on the bus just fine. But when she attempted to board for the return trip home, she was told her stroller would not fit. This is where the two stories differ. Transit officials say the woman was told to fold up her stroller because there were already two strollers taking up space on the bus. Her other option was a 20-minute wait for the next bus. But the mom says she was never given those choices. Instead, she says she was curtly told to get off the bus, and that the driver was “already five minutes late.” Two stories, one unpleasant outcome. It didn’t have to be this way. What the driver said is not relevant. It’s what the young woman understood. She clearly felt her only alternative was a long walk home – something she wasn’t overly eager to do given the age of her children and the distance she needed to travel. She was angry, embarrassed and confused. And our public transit system let her down. It could have done much more. The driver could have taken the time to not only explain her choices and the rationale behind them, but make sure she fully understood. That information is posted on BC Transit’s website. And all transit users have an obligation to familiarize themselves with the service they are using. But that doesn’t absolve drivers from ensuring their customers do understand the rules and regulations that they are obligated to enforce. That is the essence of customer service: delivering a product or service that meets or exceeds the customer’s expectations. BC Transit says it did everything right. What it should be asking is, “What could have been done better?” ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress
B.C. V IEWS
Farmland holy war fails to take root VICTORIA – The NDP’s holy war against changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve got nastier last week, as it became clear it was defenders of the status quo who were being mowed down. Ever since legislation was tabled to divide the ALR into two zones, with greater emphasis on social and economic needs to help viability of farms in the Kootenay, Interior and North regions, almost all the protest has been from unaffected areas. And much of it depends on emotion rather than fact. In the legislature, Nanaimo MLA Leonard Krog rose to praise the late Dave Stupich, who birthed the ALR sacred cow as agriculture minister in 1973. Krog likened Stupich to the Biblical Daniel for his bravery in preserving farmland for our children’s children. Cowichan Valley MLA Bill
Routley did his signature “jiggery pokery” routine, this time accusing cabinet minister Bill Bennett of being “giddy” at the prospect of paying off his friends with development land. Before he gets too jiggery outside the protection of the legislative chamber, he would be well advised to find Tom some evidence. Stikine MLA FLETCHER Doug Donaldson, who at least represents an area being given broader latitude for secondary uses on farmland, warned of drought in California. The history of this is currently a hot topic in the quasireligious climate change debate. Meanwhile in the real British Columbia, life and farming go on under the existing farmland pro-
tection regime. The largest ALR exclusion in B.C. history took a big step forward last week, as a federalprovincial review panel issued its report on the Site C dam proposed for the Peace River. The panel noted that the dam would flood 2,775 hectares of farmland, representing all seven categories of soil quality. Opponents use a figure about twice that size, as if all the affected land was farmable. The panel accepted that this land, including the small amount of micro-climate bottom land, represents 0.2% of the Peace region’s farm receipts. I would add that’s because what is farmed at all is mostly growing hay, which requires minimum capital and labour. “It has potential, to be sure, but its unique and irreplaceable contribution would be for those

labour-intensive crops like vegetables, which are not remotely practical in a labour-short region,” the report states. We have to bring in Mexican guest workers to get vegetable and fruit crops off in the Fraser Valley and Okanagan. For a fivemonth growing season in the bush outside Fort St. John? This is a classic example of the religious fervor that replaces reason among the southern faithful of the ALR. And how is the status quo working? Summerland council just voted to swap 80 hectares of flat farmland for 90 hectares further away in the Summerland Hills. The town is on restricted lakeshore terrain and the council wants to increase its urban zone, using the community need provisions that are enhanced by the current legislative amendments. This was after a loud demon-
stration organized with the help of a fake grassroots protest machine called LeadNow, complete with slick signs and website. (LeadNow also helped round up anti-pipeline protesters this past weekend.) The media were fooled as usual, but not Summerland council. LeadNow has moved on to lining up people to flood the Agricultural Land Commission with form letters and petitions against Summerland’s plan. The B.C. Agriculture Council, whose board first supported and then objected to the ALR amendments, has clarified its objections. It wants flexibility for secondary uses extended to the prime farmland zones of the Okanagan, Fraser Valley and southern Vancouver Island.

Green refinery is a better answer In a letter to this paper Greg Stringham, on behalf of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, makes assertions about the behavior of diluted bitumen (dilbit) in salt water that are at best half-truths. (Diluted bitumen can be moved safely, Chilliwack Progress, May 9) He states that dilbit floats on salt water and that it is no more dangerous at sea than other types of oil. That is wrong. It is more dangerous at sea, and infinitely more so than refined fuels like diesel and gasoline. What Stringham doesn’t mention is that the same report from Environment Canada that he quotes from, goes on to say that dilbit sinks in seawater when there is sediment present. Another study by a top U.S. environmental chemist, Jeff Short, says the same thing. It was filed by the Gitxaala Nation to the National Energy Board in March 2013, so Stringham is well
aware of it. That study says animal and plant matter like plankton, as well as sediment, cause the dilbit to sink. Our entire coast has sediment and plankton in abundance. All our rivers are glacial and full of silt. Plankton is omnipresent, which is why the whales are here, and shallow seas like Hecate Strait throw up huge amounts of sediment from the bottom in storms. Dilbit will sink in our waters if there is a spill and it will harden up like caulking material on beaches and the intertidal zone. The intertidal zone includes large mud flats in the midcoast because the tidal range is more than 20 feet there. How would we ever get them clean again? Stringham also says our Canadian oil industry is interested in the Kitimat refinery idea. That is news to me. I have talked to all the companies and there is no interest whatsoever. That is why
I am spearheading the project. It will keep dilbit out of tankers and provide an enormous valueadd for BC. Canada’s oil industry needs a west coast pipeline. Coastal First Nations, the Yinka Dene First Nations, Prince Rupert, Kitimat, Terrace, Smithers, the provincial and federal NDP, the federal Liberals, the provincial and federal Green Party, many blue collar unions and the majority of folks in B.C. are against Northern Gateway’s idea of putting dilbit in tankers. A refinery is economically viable. Why is it so hard for our oil industry to see that the way forward is to build a green refinery which will cut greenhouse gases by 50 per cent, create thousands of jobs, generate billions of new annual taxes, and gain acceptance for a safe pipeline? David Black Kitimat Clean, Black Press
Philosophy helps build better thinkers On April 30, it was widely reported that the B.C. government has decided “some courses like philosophy will lose out to business, commerce and sciences” in B.C. post-secondary education. Yes, philosophy has been around for a long time. One of the first Western philosophers, Plato, founded the first Western university almost 2,500 years ago in Athens. But philosophy is also very contemporary. When Fraser Valley College began offering courses in 1974, philosophy was included, and a full-time faculty member was hired in 1975. For the
2013-14 school year, about 50 sections of philosophy were offered, almost all fully enrolled. Philosophy is important for UFV students enrolled in a wide variety of programmes. The course PHIL 100: Reasoning has been required for most liberal arts students for several decades as an extremely practical course that enables students to reason effectively with others and to assess the quality of reasoning in all fields including science, social science, arts, business, ethics and politics. More specialised philosophy courses examine and critique the history
of our thinking so that we can avoid past mistakes in our practical endeavours, e.g., in law, education, religion, logic, decision-making and dispute resolution, public policy, counselling, environmental ethics, sciences and social sciences. And there are courses for those focusing on philosophy as part of their programmes, e.g., in political science and other social sciences, environmental studies, law, and philosophy itself. For more information on employment, type “jobs for philosophy students” into your web browser. In addition to its practi-
cal values for contemporary economic and political life, philosophy broadens the mind through engagement with ideas and questions originating in diverse times and places, encourages deep and clear thinking, and ultimately encourages students to think for themselves in order to cultivate lives that are truly their own. These skills are essential to our roles as citizens, workers, managers, consumers, parents... Better thinking can help us live better lives. UFV Philosophy Faculty: Anastasia Anderson, Glen Baier, Wayne Henry, Paul Herman, Moira Gutteridge-Kloster, Jeffrey Morgan, Peter Raabe

Now BC Transit is apologizing after the incident and offered free bus passes — which Selby politely declined. “I didn’t complain so that I would get anything. I did it to warn other mothers about getting on the bus with strollers,” she said. A BC Transit spokesperson sent an email to The Progress to explain the protocol and rules that led to what they’re calling the “unfortunate” incident. “As a family-friendly company we can certainly empathize with the Chilliwack mother who had to make her own way home with her children,” said BC Transit spokesperson Meribeth Burton. BC Transit and its subcontractor of transit services in Chilliwack, First Canada ULC, said they feel the (transit) “operator did his best to accommodate” Selby who was travelling with a double stroller “under challenging circumstances.” At this point, they investigated the complaint and found the driver “fully complied” with the rules. The problem in this case, according to officials, was there were already two other strollers aboard the bus and no room for another. It came down to capacity. “There are capacity issues from time to time on our buses,” wrote Burton in a statement. “In this particular circumstance, our operator says he asked the mom to fold the large stroller so that she could board safely.” She could have just opted to wait in the bus shelter another 20 minutes for the next bus, which would likely have had ample room. But her understanding was that no one was allowed to board with a double stroller. “If there were other strollers on the bus, I didn’t hear about it,” said Selby. It was more a case of “first come, first served” on the bus, according to BC Transit. “We do have priority seating, at the front of the bus, for customers with mobility aids, for seniors and for parents with strollers,” according to the transit official. “If all the priority seating is full, a customer may have to
wait for the next available bus. It is unfortunate but it does happen.” These are the BC Transit ‘Guidelines for Baby Strollers’: • Should be collapsible

also voted to strongly oppose development of the proposed Fraser Surrey Docks coal export terminal and the planned expansion of Neptune Terminals in North Vancouver until Port Metro Vancouver conducts formal hearings and orders a more comprehensive health impact assessment on coal dust dangers. “The chief medical health officer of Fraser Health has been calling for this for quite some time,” noted Port Moody Coun. Rick Glumac, who also serves on the LMLGA executive. “It seems to me to be a perfectly reasonable request.” The LMLGA, which represents 33 municipal governments from Pemberton to Yale, voted to reject a motion from Burnaby to oppose provincial government changes to the Agricultural Land Reserve, although another motion passed seeking a freeze on the planned split of the ALR into two zones pending more consultation. Also approved were: • An Abbotsford demand that Health Canada disclose to municipalities the locations of previously licensed medical marijuana grow-ops so they can be inspected. • A Chilliwack resolution opposing the use of farmland for medical marijuana production and urging the province to block the classification of new pot factories as farms qualifying for lower property tax rates. • A call for the province to regulate party buses. • A New Westminster request for senior government aid to retrofit older wood-frame apartment buildings and care homes with sprinkling systems. • A motion asking Ottawa to further restrict use of older DOT-111 rail tanker cars implicated in the Lac Megantic oil fire disaster and legislate their accelerated replacement.

Fraser Valley theatre festival takes the stage this weekend The Chilliwack Player’s Guild is hosting this year’s Fraser Valley Zone Festival, which starts this Sunday. Six groups from around the Fraser Valley are presenting shows at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre from May 18-23. The festival will be adjudicated by noted director, screenwriter, and experienced adjudicator Keith Digby. “With comedies, dramas, and everything inbetween, the festival should be an exciting and eclectic week of theatre,” says festival co-chair Debra Archer. “There’s quality community theatre in our zone, and the productions we have lined up represent myriad talent from around the Fraser Valley.” First in the lineup is the hosting Chilliwack Player’s Guild with two, one-act plays on Sunday, May 18. The first is noted Canadian playwright Norm Foster’s The Death of Me; the second, is local writer Rick Mawson’s Caliban: House-sitter. In The Death of Me, nice guy John finds himself in front of the Angel of Death after suffering a fatal aneurysm alone in his apartment. Hijinks ensue when the Angel grudgingly allows John to re-live the last 12 hours before his death – on the condition that he tells his ex-fiancee, Cassie, how he really feels about her leaving him at the altar. Caliban: House-sitter is the story of actor Andrew, who offers to look after a friend’s lakeside home for the weekend, expecting nothing more exciting than a few days rest and relaxation. A visit from Claire, his friend’s attractive neighbor, changes all that. Love, sex, fear, and Shakespeare duke it out in this fascinating conflict of archetypes. Caliban: House-sitter also contains some strong language. On Monday, May 19, Surrey Little Theatre presents The Drawer Boy, by Michael Healy, followed on Tuesday night by Stage 43 with Claire Harrison and Clive Doucet’s Seduced By Moonlight. The Chilliwack School of Performing Arts presents Vancouver playwright Lucia Frangione’s Leave of Absence on Wednesday, May 21. Winner of the ACTivist Amnesty International playwriting contest in 2011, the play tells of a small community that is blown apart when an audacious young girl challenges long-held views of spirituality and sexuality. Accused of lesbianism, 15-year-old Blake finds that the watchful eyes of her Catholic high school-- and the adults in her community-- offer limited protection

Movie music for Hollywood night The Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra brings the sounds of the silver screen Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s Hollywood in Chilliwack on May 24 as the Chilliwack Metropolitan Orchestra puts the spotlight on some very famous movie scores. The CMO’s new artistic director Gregory Johnson will be at the podium with the orchestra in the Chilliwack Cultural Centre for the first time. “I’m having a great time just rehearsing for the concert,” Johnson said. “I can’t wait to actually get on stage.” He looks forward to raising his baton for the Hollywoodthemed program which starts with music from 2001: A Space
Odyssey. “It’s really dramatic. That should wake everyone up!” Other pieces are from epic films like Gone With the Wind, Jaws, or Schindler’s List. “The movie music really draws you in,” Johnson says. “It hits you with strong chords right away.” Whereas some traditional orchestral music takes a while to build and express emotion, these selections start off with a bang. “They’re asking you to jump right in and break down that fourth wall,” he says, describing the imaginary barrier between audience and stage. The new conductor is a Surrey based elementary
school music teacher, and flautist, who is married with two children. Johnson worked with several CMO musicians over the years and said he looks forward to helping lead the orchestra to the next stage, with the support of a strong board of directors. “I’m also planning a surprise for concert night,” he said. As a fan of the fantasy/sci fi genre, he said it’s a Star Wars related surprise, but offered no other details. “I’m going to be bringing a bigger baton,” he added. “But I can’t say any more than that.” The concert also showcases some of the younger CMO members. It’s the last concert for trumpet player Mark Pederson, who is leaving the CMO for university. He’ll be playing Trumpeters’
Lullaby as a tribute to his time in the orchestra. “Chilliwack audiences also apparently love marches,” said Johnson, adding they’ll be performing the Colonel Bogie March.” Violinist Sora Takahashi will be performing a violin solo in theme from Schindlers’ List, with arrangement by Jack Kopstein. “It’s a very beautiful piece. It’s introspective and passionate and deep. Sora really connects with the music.” The CMO has invited two vocalists from Chilliwack to perform with us for “Hollywood in Chilliwack”. Soprano Nina Payne, a science and voice student, has been active in Chilliwack music circles for many years. Continued: HOLLYWOOD/ p21

can make a significant difference, for a small investment of time and money. If your living room is crowded with furniture, keep the newer, better-looking pieces and put your well-worn leather club chair in storage. Eliminate some of the clothing in your closets and they will appear larger. Repaint the mint green bedroom and the pumpkin colored dining room in neutral tones, a better palette for the buyer’s mental transfer of their furniture into you home. Bring in a professional cleaning company so your home can be shown in sparkling condition. Purchase some flowering plants to enliven the entrance, where buyers receive their first impression of the interior. Replace any counter clutter with flower arrangements, fruit bowls or designer home accessories. Ask your real estate agent for feedback from other Realtors who brought clients through your home regarding their impressions of your home and their reasons for not making an offer. If these comments coincide with your re-assessment of the strengths and defects of your home, you’ll know what areas to address in order to improve your likelihood of selling.
Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey. I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here. So I feel like I’m well qualified to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

I have lived in Chilliwack for over 45 years, raising a family and watching this city and surrounding areas grow and prosper. I have a passion for real estate and gained knowledge by building, buying and selling my own homes in this area. I took this passion and knowledge a step further and became a realtor in 2005. As a realtor I approach clients with an honest, down to earth, trustworthy attitude. This is a major reason why referrals from past clients are the majority of my business! I have been a President’s Club recipient since 2009 and I am currently a Director on the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board.
Home sales in April were brisk, especially in the single family detached category. New listings coming onto the local Chilliwack market are getting quickly absorbed. If your home is on the market in this favorable climate, you might expect your property to sell quickly, for close to the listing price. But what if your home has been sitting on the market longer than you expected and you have not been approached with offers you can take seriously? It may be time to have a frank discussion with your Realtor and re-evaluate your expectations regarding the sale. Start by looking at your asking price. Does it truly conform to the range of selling prices of comparable homes in your neighborhood? Are you attempting to get too high a return on the kitchen remodeling you did to make the house more attractive to buyers? If your real estate agent agrees, you may want to reduce the asking price. Next, put yourself in the buyer’s position and take a realistic look at your house and yard. Try to be critical of your home’s shortcomings: identify features a buyer might consider to be defects, and decide what you can improve. Look at the features of your home that would interest or attract a buyer, and try to highlight these areas. Ask your Realtor to give you constructive feedback about both your home’s assets and liabilities, then make a list of projects you want to work on. Often just re-arranging elements in your home’s interior

INSIDE THE LIONS DEN The month of May brings Sunshine and it is perfect weather to take your dog for a walk ă so why not the Purina Walk for Dog Guides. The Purina® Walk For Dog Guides is a national fundraising walk in more than 200 communities across Canada. It raises funds to train Dog Guides for Canadians with disabilities. In our area it takes place at the Mount Cheam Lions Hall on Spadina Ave. with sign in starting at noon on Sunday May 25th. This is a joint effort of all of the Lions Clubs of Chilliwack. Lions Foundation of Canada was formed in the 1980Ês to help develop a project to aid Canadians who had visual problems. Canine Vision Canada formed in 1985 was its founding program. It now operates six canine programs. Dog Guides are provided at no cost to eligible Canadians. However they do not come to the Lions Foundation at no cost. These dogs cost an average of $25,000. to train and place and receives no government funding. Therefore we rely on donations from individuals, service clubs, foundations and corporations. Come out and walk for the cause or sponsor someone who is walking. Now Dog Guides Canada operates these six programs: Vision Dog Guides for people who are blind or visually impaired, Hearing Ear Dog Guides for people who are deaf or hard of hearing, Service Dog Guides for people with a medical or physical disability, Seizure Response Dog Guides for people who have epilepsy, Autism Assistance Dog Guides for children with autism disorder, and our newest program, Diabetic Alert Dog Guides for people who have type 1 diabetes with hypoglycemic unawareness.

Chiefs add young gun
The Chilliwack Chiefs have plucked 17 year old forward Tanner Campbell out of the midget hockey ranks, getting a commitment for the 2014-15 season. Campbell joins the junior A club after a tremendously successful 2013-14 campaign. The forward sniped 29 goals and 67 points in just 38 games as his BC Major Midget League Okanagan Rockets captured a league championship. Campbell and company advanced to the Telus Cup national championship where they finished third. “We are very happy
to add Tanner to our lineup,” said Chiefs head coach and general manager Jason Tatarnic. “He had an excellent year, and anytime you can add a player with national tournament experience, it can only help your team. He produced good offensive numbers last season and we’re hoping he can do the same for us.” The Chiefs announced another signing Tuesday morning, bringing in goaltender Mitchell Datz. The 19 year old stopper hails from Kitchener, Ontario and spent last year at Connecticut’s Salisbury Academy Prep School. He led his team to a New England Prep Championship, compiling a record of 23-1-3 and a save percentage of .927. He’s the second goalie signed by Chiefs general manager Jason Tatarnic, who inked Aidan Pelino two weeks
ago. “By adding Mitchell to our team, we’ve solidified our goaltender position,” Tatarnic said. “He posted great numbers last year and we’re happy he’s selected Chilliwack as his home next season. Mitchell and Aidan will complement each other very well.” With two top tier prospects signed at the same position, Datz will have to compete for playing time. He seems undaunted. “I feel very fortunate to be a part of the Chiefs organization, and I’m looking forward to playing under coach Tatarnic and the newly added coaches, Mr. (Kyle) Adams and Mr. (Paul) Nicolls,” Datz said in a news release. “They are great coaches with lots of experience. I’ve heard that the atmosphere in Chilliwack is outstanding and it is a privilege to be a part of the Chiefs family.”
Rugby Falcons on fire With one league game left, the Sardis girls rugby squad remains unbeaten. The Falcons bombed North Surrey 42-0 Monday night, continuing a run of dominance. Captain Julianna Tuioti led the way with two tries. Kennedy Hunter had a pair of her own with Danika Elias, Hope Puckey, Tyra Philips and Sierra Hunter also finding paydirt. Sierra added a convert to round out the scoring. “The girls were more patient in their structures today, able to withstand some strong attacking phas-
es by the North Surrey team,” said Sardis coach Terry Puckey. “There were many good performances with Kaliah Tuioti, Karaline Heibner, Romi Jager, Natalie Creyke, Landry Winkles, Sam Gaulthier and Tianna Duval all having a hand in today’s solid display.” Only Enver Creek stands between Sardis and a perfect regular season.

Cam leaves behind his soulmate and lifepartner, Kara; and his precious children, his pride and joy; London and Rylee. He was predeceased on the same day, 26 years earlier, by his beloved adoptive mother Carol Purdy, and is survived by his beloved birth mother, Priscilla Holmstead, of Adelaide, Australia, Cam is also survived by his father Andrew Purdy, of Chilliwack, his sister Ellen, and his “spirit family”, Betty, Liv, Karen M., Lisa B., Marcel B., and Dave (Gator) R. . . . the people who knew best, all of the quiet and shadowy corners of his loving soul. Cam’s greatest legacy, beyond his impressive collections of classic cars and guitars, and his musical repertoire as a professional drummer in the 80s and 90s Rock Music scene, is the company that he built from the ground up. Number 8 Freight grew to be a tremendous source of satisfaction and accomplishment for Cam, as he developed the business over time, and ultimately supported 43 families at the time of his passing. Kara, Lindsay, Dave, Mike, Troy, Rhonda, and all of the drivers who proudly display the Number 8 logo will miss Cam in each and every moment that we endeavour to fill the massive void left by his passing. We honour him collectively, through our efforts to bring his vision for Number 8 Freight to fruition, as he now leads us in spirit (we thank the stars that he never stopped talking — and we all took notes!) When you watch a NASCAR race, or see his Broncos win a tight game, think of Cam cheering (LOUDLY) beside you. If you see a great concert, imagine his smiling face cheering from the best seats in the house! Imagine him beating out a rhythm on a well-used drum kit, or writing a silly song on one of his classic Fenders or Gibson Les Paul’s. Imagine him strolling along his favourite beach, writing love letters in the Chesterman sand. lmagine him loving, and being loved . . . and imagine him at PEACE, with a crooked smile on his face, and a good tune soothing his weary soul. A celebration of life will be held at 2:00 PM on May 24th, 2014, at the Evergreen Hall, in Chilliwack. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to BC Children’s Hospital in Cam’s Memory, in honour of his best buddy and wing man, Keaton MacEachern’s brave battle with (and victory over) leukemia. Let us all heal . . . one day at a time . . . Henderson’s Funeral Home in care of arrangements.

FITZSIMMONS, Robert Thomas
FITZSIMMONS, Robert Thomas – passed away at Chilliwack General Hospital on Wednesday May 7, 2014 after a courageous battle with Cancer – he was 50 years young. Bob is survived by his best friend and mother of his children, Alison, sons Brad, Scott and Mike, and his parents Tom and Miriam Fitzsimmons and grandmother, Norma Fitzsimmons. He is also survived by his sister Sheri Bourrie and his brother-in-law Sean Bourrie, his in-laws Sandy Andreasen (Peter) and Gerry Kellington (Sharron), brother-in-law Terry Kellington, nephews, Ben and Ian Bourrie and Evan and Colin Kellington, and special friend Nicole Lapierre and many – many good friends, and former students, all of whom he cherished. Bob was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario and raised in Vernon, B.C. Bob spent many weekends at the family cabin at Mabel Lake where he learned to fish, water ski, ride his motor bike and developed a great love of the outdoors. Bob attended Vernon Senior Secondary School where he was passionate about sports and his work ethic and competitive nature led him to excel in many areas, but especially cross-country running which took him to UVIC on a scholarship. Bob worked summers at Rap At-
tack – rappelling from helicopters to fight forest fires. He ultimately achieved his Degree in Education – trying his hardest to cram 5 years of education into 10 years while he traveled the world. Bob met Alison Kellington while teaching Phys Ed and Social Studies at Sardis Secondary School; they married and had three wonderful sons who were Bob’s heroes. Bob taught at Sardis Secondary School for over 20 years where he coached, trained and mentored scores of young athletes in multiple sports. There he developed the popular annual Sardis Strong Man competition, strength training courses and the Sardis Baseball Academy, which continue to this day. Bob is also well known at Sardis for his love of computers …. Bob developed a passion for hunting which he shared with his boys, his dad, and scores of great hunting partners. Last fall, while accompanied by his buddy Don, he achieved his dream – a successful mountain goat hunt. A celebration of Bob’s life will be held at Sardis Secondary School on Friday, May 16, 2014 at 3:00 PM followed by a gathering at the Coast Hotel to raise a toast to honour his life. As a tribute to Bob’s love of sports we are asking that those attending his celebration of life do so wearing jeans and their favorite sports team jersey or apparel. In lieu of flowers please consider donating to the Canadian Cancer Society or a memorial scholarship fund set up in Bob’s name – cheques made payable to School District 33 and noting in the memo line it is for the “Bob Fitzsimmons Memorial Award” can be brought to the Celebration of Life or mailed to School District 33 at 8430 Cessna Drive, Chilliwack, B.C. V2P 7K4. Henderson’s Funeral Home in care of arrangements.
