Two men charged in string of robberies

Emma Van Hoepen, a Grade 12 Timothy Christian student, guides fellow schoolmates through the Anne Frank exhibition set up in their school on Wednesday. The display will be open to the public for one day, on May 1. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Remembering ‘Children of the Holocaust’ Anne Frank exhibit helps commemorate 70 years since the end of the Holocaust Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A student picks up the camelcoloured coat and tries it on. A faded Star of David is stitched onto the front. The yellow star is still recognizable as the visible symbol of the Holocaust, the systematic and state-sponsored persecution and annihilation of European Jews by Nazi Germany from 1933 to 1945. The wrinkled coat is just one of the chilling artifacts on display in Chilliwack. It’s been 70 years since the end

of the Holocaust and a group of Chilliwack high school students have been specially trained to bring the tragic story of Anne Frank and the holocaust to life. The story of Anne Frank is a true account of a Jewish family’s attempt to hide from the Nazis in occupied Holland, and the Amsterdam family that risked their lives to hide them. Frank’s family was eventually caught and sent to a concentration camp where Anne later died. She left behind a diary that became the basis for a book and awardwinning play.

Student-led tours will be the focus of a Community Open House: Children of the Holocaust event on May 1 at Timothy Christian School. Timothy Christian teacher Daniel Van Brugge said the student guides are learning to make connections between the history, and providing meaningful lessons about the holocaust for today’s society. The project showcases 35 vertical interpretive panels shipped to Chilliwack from the Anne Frank House Museum from Amsterdam, as well as artifacts like an old suitcase, family photographs, food ration stamps, a wooden toy — all on loan from the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre.

“The panels from the Anne Frank House by themselves, while interesting, aren’t the thing. It’s all about the human interaction and the conversations between the guides and the visitors.” The 12 tour guides are senior high school students, with half from Timothy Christian School, and the other half from Mt. Cheam Christian School. When The Progress arrives on Wednesday, some of the guides are taking younger students through the exhibit for the first time, in preparation for the upcoming open house event on May 1. “The value is the leadership Continued: STUDENTS/ p3

Chilliwack RCMP believe they’ve arrested two men who allegedly carried out a string of armed robberies in Popkum and Chilliwack. Thirty-two-year old Rosedale resident Allen Edward Rusk and 24-year-old Herbert Martin Hanuse, also of Rosedale, are in custody. Rusk faces three charges, including robbery and possession of stolen property, and will stay in behind bars until he appears in court later this month. Hanuse finds himself in even hotter water, facing 11 charges that include robbery, assault causing bodily harm and possession of a weapon dangerous to the public. The first robbery was on Jan. 19. At 7:30 p.m. a man with his face covered, carrying a weapon, entered a store in the 52800 block of Yale Road East, demanded money and ran off with the stolen cash. The second robbery happened at 9:45 a.m. on March 25. Again, the suspect had his face covered and carried a weapon, entering a restaurant in the 53000 block of Bunker Road (Popkum) and demanding money. This time police say he escaped on a bicycle. On April 3 at 6:35 a.m. a suspect returned to the 53000 block of Bunker Road for a second time. An employee confronted him and suffered a non life-threatening head injury. The suspect allegedly grabbed some merchandise before taking off on a bicycle. The final robbery occurred April 9 at 12:30 p.m. when the suspect allegedly stormed into a convenience store on Wells Road in Chilliwack, running away with money and merchandise. Soon after, RCMP officers found a suspected stolen vehicle in the Agassiz area and linked it to the Wells Road robbery. Rusk and Hanuse were arrested later that day.

Changes made in Cultus Lake Park Board administration Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The senior administrator at the Cultus Lake Park Board was recently let go after six years of service. Consequently Cultus Lake Park residents are being asked to keep inquiries to a minimum for

the next while if at all possible. Chief Administrative Officer Ron Campbell was officially “relieved of his duties” at the Park Board, according to a statement released by Park Board Chair David Renwick earlier this month. “On March 19, 2015, pursuant to a unanimous resolution of the

Board, we terminated the service contract of Ron Campbell. “The Board felt that it was necessary to take this step at this time so that we could continue in our new direction of open and candid government.” Some of the challenges the Park Board has faced stemmed from actions taken by the past

session. “Not replacing the CAO at this time has put an additional pressure on our remaining staff, so we ask the public to please give us some breathing room to allow us to properly assess our needs going forward.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

It would have taken years of bake sales for Central elementary to earn what they received as a gift this week. Members of the Rotary Club of Chilliwack Mt. Cheam heard the downtown area school was in the beginning stages of fundraising for a new playground. The school’s goal was $60,000. The parent advisory council had held bake sales and plant sales, and even started a Go Fund Me account. They had written grant proposals, and still have a few promising fundraising events planned for this spring. While they began the school year with zero dollars in the piggy bank, their efforts have already raised $20,000. The Rotary members thought it over, and decided to help fund the playground with a further $20,000. It’s enough to get the project started and will allow the school and its parent advisory council to focus on other pressing needs. “With just bake sales it would take a lifetime to raise the money you have given us,” said Central’s principal, Leslie Waddington, when Rotary Club members visited the school on Monday morning. She took Marie Goldfinch, club president, and Rob Hasell, chair of club projects, on a tour of the current playground and showed them the plans for the one to be installed this summer. All of the wooden

components will be removed by the end of the school year, she explained, leaving the current metal pieces in place. The entire groundworks will be removed and better drainage tile will be created, keeping kids’ feet dry on wet days when the playground pools with rainwater. The new playground will then be put in place, leaving space for the pieces they haven’t yet found the funds for. The playground is a hub for families in the downtown area during school hours, in the evenings and throughout the summer. The wooden structure was being removed anyway, and the lack of funds would have meant a gaping hole — and fewer opportunities for kids to be active. “For many kids in this area,

playing here is their whole summer holiday,” Waddington said. “Our playgrounds get used all the time.” New modern playgrounds have a longer lifespan than their old, wooden predecessors. And since they’re built by selecting modules, they can be upgraded piece by piece when necessary. Hasell said when they heard about the school’s need for a replacement playground, they knew it would be a good fit for the Rotary. “We do one project every year, or many small projects,” he said. “When this came to our attention we knew we wanted to be involved.” This week, the City of Chilliwack also announced they are granting $10,000 toward the project.

News Monastery development moves ahead Jessica Peters The Progress A slow-moving development plan for a monastery in Columbia Valley will face its next step next week, in the form of a public hearing. An application has been made to rezone a piece of property at 1615 Robinson Road to allow for construction of the Fa Yu Buddhism Monaster y. The Fraser Valley Regional District will be holding a public information meeting and public hearing on April 22. FVRD’s Jennifer Kinneman explained this week that the property is already home to nuns, but the site is lacking a traditional monaster y. She said the applicant is hoping to build residential quarters and a prayer area as part of the

application, however a building application has not yet been made. The public hearing next week will focus on an amendment to the property, to rezone a portion of it to residential and recreational assembly use. Another portion would be amended to rural agricultural. The property has already been through an approval process by the Agricultural Land Commission and an OCP amendment. There was some concern about water usage, as water sources on the land in question provides drinking water for some nearby properties. A water supply and septic feasibility report was completed in January to address those issues. Following the public information meeting and hearing, the

Hair Spray

FVRD board will consider the application for rezoning. It would be up to the applicant to then put for ward a building permit to move the process along. The meeting on April 22 will be held at Columbia Valley Community Hall (1202 Kosikar Rd.) at 7 p.m. All persons who believe that their interest is affected by the proposed bylaws will be allowed to speak or present written submissions respecting matters contained in the bylaws presented. Written submissions may also be sent to FVRD prior to the hearing, but must be received no later than noon on April 22. jpeters@theprogress.com

Movie shoot downtown next week Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The movie industry lights will make parts of Chilliwack seem even brighter than usual next week. The Hallmark TV Movie, With This Ring,

is being filmed in Chilliwack’s downtown core, April 21-22 by Vancouver’s Countr y Road Productions. As usual, merchants will be open for business and welcoming customers during the filming activity.

A filming notice went out earlier this week, notifying local businesses about the shooting schedule for spots along Wellington Avenue, and Mill Street, at the Royal Hotel, Sticky’s and Teddy Bear Dreams,

Apeldoorn’s and more. “There will be no special effects, stunts or loud noises during filming,” reads the notice. Wellington will be open to pedestrians and local traffic during the shoot.

Wire across trail prompts call for caution

News ■ C ATCHING R AYS

Wire was found deliberately stretched across a trail near the Vedder River Campground last week at different height levels. A post on social media asked hikers and trail users to use extra caution when walking in the area. Incidents of rope and wire strung across biking and walking trails has been reported in spots across B.C. in recent years. The wire was spotted was last Sunday, April 13. Anyone with information is asked to call it into police at 604-792-4611.

River cleanup Saturday The next volunteer cleanup of the Chilliwack/ Vedder River system is slated for Saturday, April 18 at the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve. It’s the 44th cleanup of its kind, and it has turned into a family-oriented community event over the years, organized by the Chilliwack-Vedder Cleanup Society. “We are however cutting back from three to two cleanups on a trial basis this year.” Registrations starts at 8:30 a.m. at the Nature reserve on April 189 at 5200 Sumas Prairie Rd.

Chilliwack is a giving community. That is evident by money and goods that are donated every year to make the city a better place. The generosity extends beyond the Christmas giving season; it continues throughout the year. Thousands of dollars are raised to help people in need, to build playgrounds, to improve habitat for wildlife. But there is something else that is given each day in Chilliwack. Time. This week marks National Volunteer Week. It is an opportunity to acknowledge the work done by so many in the community to build a better Chilliwack. It’s an acknowledgement many are reluctant to accept; they prefer to remain outside the spotlight. But there are thousands of them. Indeed, it’s estimated that volunteers donate two billion hours of their time every year in Canada. Imagine if they all stayed home. That friendly face at the hospital entrance would not be there to help a worried patient find his or her way to day surgery. Fewer hands would be held at Cascade Hospice. Meals for the city’s less fortunate would go unserved. Sports fields would grow silent. Chilliwack would be a different place without these dedicated individuals. They share more than their time; they offer their experiences, insights and abilities so that organizations grow stronger and better meet the needs of the community. Most volunteers would argue that they get more out of what they do than what they give. That’s why they are more than willing to encourage others to volunteer. But their contribution is important and deserves more than an annual recognition week. There are many parts that make a community strong. Volunteers, through their efforts, supply the mortar that binds these parts together. Without them, Chilliwack would be a lesser place. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Lessons to be learned from Vancouver fuel spill What event is guaranteed to get politicians crawling all over each other to be the best at the blame game? An oil spill of course. Last week’s debacle over the blame game of who was the greatest laggard at communication and clean up began when the cargo vessel MV Marathassa leaked some 2,700 litres of oil into English Bay. The vessel was carrying grain and was on its maiden voyage. It is owned by the Greek-based company Alassia NewShips Management Inc. whose managers not only apologized profusely for the incident but took full responsibility for the cost of a full and professional clean up. Apparently a mechanical problem with the ship’s piping system valves led to oil leaking into the duct keel and a secondary prob-

lem caused that oil to be accidentally discharged. Within 36 hours, 80 per cent of the oil had been contained while some of the balance managed to make it to shore in ugly black globs that coated some of the beaches and a number of seabirds. The spill was first noticed by a Margaret passing sailboat operator when he EVANS saw a sheen of oil on the water around 5 p.m. Wednesday of last week. The Coast Guard was alerted and they apparently got into play around 8:30 p.m. with the first boom to absorb the oil in place by midnight. But in the domino effect of who to inform and in what order,

some phone calls got missed, notably the need to let the Mayor of Vancouver know what was going on. As that slick oil got contained in booms, all levels of politicians light their hair on fire with it. Their fingers were pretty functional considering all the pointing they managed to accomplish. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson unloaded on the provincial and federal governments while Premier Christy Clark unloaded on the Coast Guard for their perceived slacko response to the clean-up. Industry Minister James Moore got defensive, commenting that it was unhelpful to have politicians spreading misinformation. Robertson was choked the City was not notified of the spill for 12 hours. Clark’s Coast Guard comment was garnering some political hay.

She and many others are still smarting from the federal government’s abrupt closure of the Kitsilano Coast Guard station two years ago. It was a bad move then and it remains a bad move now. In the apparent broken chain of communication, Clark blamed a shortage of good judgment and nimbleness, stressing that there needs to be a better way of doing this. She floated the idea that maybe the Coast Guard should take direction from the province. But that’s not going to happen any time soon. What really floated up in the public’s consciousness was that no level of government seemed to have a plan for coordination and cooperation. Yes, the oil spill was serious. But the safety record off our coast is apparently pretty good. According to Transport Canada, the only major oil spill in the last

20 years in our waters was the Queen of the North ferry sinking in 2006. It took with it 240 tonnes of oil. In 2011, there were some 18,500 inbound commercial vessels all loaded with goods and in that same year 2.2 million tonnes of oil were shipped uneventfully out of Vancouver. By the numbers, as of April 14, 150 people in the Unified Command are involved in the English Bay clean-up, one oiled duck was euthanized, two are in care and 30 are being monitored, the shoreline team has inspected 64 kilometres and 6 kilometres are being cleaned, surface oil remains at 0.2 litres, and there has been zero impact on public health and safety. Not bad so far, considering.

Facts don’t support optimistic outlook Re: “Conservatives build a strong economy,” Readers Write, Chilliwack Progress, April 15. Please, Mr. Strahl, enough is enough! According to UNICEF’s most recent report on child well being, Canada ranked 17th out of 29 countries assessed, scoring 27th in child obesity, 22nd in infant mortality and 21st in child poverty rates. In fact, according to the Conference Board of Canada which predicted a million children living in poverty in Canada by 2015, the UNICEF study estimated 967,000 children lived in these conditions in 2013. The Harper government for whom Mr. Strahl speaks has done nothing in the past eight years to change these results contrary to his assertions. As for building a strong economy, it is all well and good to tout income splitting which will benefit the top 15 per cent of Canadian families to the tune of $2.6 billion per year while the poverty levels have not changed under the Conservatives. Now to address his statement

concerning Canadian seniors. Canadians have come to expect that in this rich land our seniors would have a low poverty rate and he is indeed correct given that the Canadian senior poverty rate is 7.2 per cent which is lower than the median average of 12.8 per cent of the 24 OECD nations rated. The undisputed fact, however, is that from 2007 to 2010 under the Conservative government which boasts its economic plan, the senior poverty rate rose a full two percentage points, hardly a stellar achievement. Mr. Strahl and his party like to trot out their job creation figures in comparison to G7 countries and in fairness this government has by many means held unemployment to less than seven per cent. When you hear talk about a Conservative “legacy” some prudence must be observed. After the recession in 2008 Canada’s small and independent businesses were at the forefront of job creation. Manufacturing jobs disappeared by thousands and many workers migrated to the oil industry or IT or technical jobs for example..

Many of the jobs created were benefit challenged as employers were not offering pension plans or health plans and as we have seen many were medium to short term jobs. Mr. Strahl points to a “balanced budget” for 2014. He makes no mention of the cuts and modifications to programs which the Conservatives have made to achieve what is essentially a very late pre-election budget which will probably be an omnibus bill with little or no debate or modification. Finally, Mr. Strahl makes no mention of the seven straight deficits chalked up by his government. Conservatives have added nearly $172 billion to the National Debt which under their watch has risen from $516 billion to $688 billion from 2008 to 2014. Perhaps Mr. Strahl could be convinced by the electorate of this riding to be a little less cavalier with the facts? Wayne Underhill Chilliwack BC

Doing the math on pension numbers contribution of $600. This is far less than the current maximum of $4,613.40 or 9.9 per cent of an employee’s earnings. Of course not everyone pays the maximum contribution rate and certainly no one has paid anything near $4,500 for 49 years. When CPP was first implemented it was designed as a “pay-asyou-go” system where contributions from workers and employers paid

for the benefits of retirees in that year. A number of years ago it was recognized that such a system would become extremely expensive as an ageing population would result in fewer workers supporting an increasing number of retirees. Today’s higher contribution rates are professionally managed and invested to pay for future benefits and yes the Chief Actuary of the CPP looks

at factors such as life expectancy. To learn more about the origin of this Canadianized version of what started as an American email readers can visit: www.snopes. com/politics/taxes/benefit.asp Thank you for giving me the opportunity to clarify this matter.

Another step in the right direction I live near downtown Chilliwack. Have for years. I moved here as a child and raised my own kids here. When my children were little, I walked them to school. As they got older and (somewhat) more responsible, they walked themselves. Walking with kids is something that I am starting see more of in Chilliwack. One of the things I am notic-

ing is the number of young dads walking with their children around town. It’s nice. I see these young men pushing babies in strollers, holding hands with toddlers, or trying to keep racing kids from dashing into danger. I see the interaction with a father and child. I see smiles, laughs, and the occasional bout of tears - sometimes from the child,

Fewer youth having sex, study says Jessica Peters

“

The Progress B.C.’s youth are holding off a bit longer on their first sexual experiences, a new report suggests. The McCrear y Centre Study has created its first full length report on sexual health of youth in B.C., based on data collected from their 2103 BC Adolescent Health Survey. The survey was conducted among Grade 7 to 12 students in school districts across the province, including Chilliwack. One of the key findings of the report is that most youth

until til they’re older. Nineteen per cent of male and female students reported ever having had intercourse. Older students were more likely to have had intercourse than

younger ones. For example, three per cent of 13-year-olds had intercourse compared to 16 per cent of 15-year-olds and 39 per cent of 17-yearolds. This is good news when coupled with this finding: Youth who first had sex at age 15 or older engaged in safer sexual practices than those who first had sex at an earlier age. Of the one quarter of youth who had reported being sexual active, only 69 per cent had used a condom or other barrier the last time they had intercourse.

After two years of writing and polishing their sound, as well as the addition of two powerhouse guitar players, Gary Cordsen and Brett Gibbs, they finally began to prove their mettle to live audiences across the Lower Mainland. The response: a roaring crowd. “It looks like we’ll be seeing all of the nice folks in Toronto! Thanks so much for everybody who made it possible, all of the judges who voted for us, the great acts for their tough competition, and of course the seriously fantastic audience we performed for that night.

The McCrear y Centre Society suggests those youth may require more education about STIs. Overall, B.C.’s youth are having sex less, and making better choices around sexual health. But the report’s finding came with some words of warning, too. “Youth who did not use any form of contraception the last time they had intercourse were more than five times as likely as those who used some contraceptive method to report a history of preg-

nancy,” the report summarized. “In addition, social inequities such as an unstable home life, a history of government care, poverty, a history of abuse, and violence exposure were associated with poorer sexual health.” Similarly, some marginalized groups such as lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) youth, those with a health condition or disability, and youth with custody experience, also reported higher sexual health risks than their peers. But there is good news for parents eager to help their teens make

the right choices. The report found that an importance of feeling connected to school and family was evident among sexually active teens who made healthier choices, such as using condoms. Having a connection to the community, and having supportive adults involved in their lives also led to healthier sexual choices. The report does not break down all of the statistics for each of the cities, but does mention some differences between larger regions, and urban and rural life. Rural students in 2013 were more likely to be sexually active, but also more likely to use a barrier during oral sex. Youth in rural areas are more likely to have sex before the age of 15, and more likely to have ever been pregnant. There are some troubling findings as well. Rural females are reported to be more likely to have been the younger partner in an illegal age pairing the first time they had intercourse, at a rate of 10 per

cent of those reporting being sexually active. The survey results are used by federal and provincial policy makers and program planners, as well as by local decision makers and others with an interest in youth health. “Although some people may be uncomfortable with the topic of youth sexual activity, the results show us that we need to be talking to young people about their sexual health. Whether we like it or not, some youth will become sexually active and it is important that they know how to protect themselves, how to negotiate safe relationships, and who to turn to if they need support or access to resources, said Annie Smith, Executive Director of McCreary. “It is important to pay attention to the protective factors highlighted in the report such as having supportive adult to turn to that help young people make healthier choices when they do become sexually active.”

Clock ticks as dialysis patients await donors stay alive. His doctors are constantly adjusting his goal weight, and he spends a large portion of his time resting up from the treatment. “If I get a successful transplant, I’ll only have to be on daily antirejection pills,” he said, along with regular trips for blood work and imaging. In the best case scenario, the father of three grown boys sees himself finding work once again — even if it’s a lighter workload than he’s used to. Kidney disease isn’t Buchanan’s only health concern. He was diagnosed as Type 1 diabetic as a teenager. Over the past three decades he has experienced progress in how diabetes is treated, with improvements to insulin. Similar improvements have been made for kidney disease treatment, but the organ donation program is struggling. Buchanan would like to go the May 1 summit, but it’s one of his dialysis days and of course, those can’t be missed. His life depends on it.

There are 364 people waiting for a kidney transplant in B.C. For some, the wait will be too long. Jessica Peters The Progress When Cameron Buchanan found out his kidneys were failing, he was already in stage four of kidney disease. It came as a shock to him, like it does with many kidney disease patients. “I didn’t feel any effects at that time,” he said. But blood tests showed that his kidneys were nearing the end of their lifespan. Soon he began to feel some of the first noticeable symptoms, including fatigue. At that point, his kidneys had about 10 per cent lifespan left. Then one day his wife, Patti, realized he wasn’t making any sense. He was rushed to the hospital and tests showed he was down to six per cent kidney function. It was time for dialysis, and planning for an eventual kidney transplant surgery began. Now, after two and a half years of dialysis and learning to cope with the treatment’s side effects, 45-year-old Buchanan is appealing to potential organ donors — for himself and for those he’s met along the way. Kidneys are the most commonly transplanted organs in B.C., and the success rate is high for those who make it to surgery. Kidneys from living donors provide the best outcomes, but finding the right match is difficult. Of all Buchanan’s siblings, there are no suitable donors. His mom, Mary Jean Buchanan, is hoping someone in the community will step up to help her son. While Buchanan would love to get the call a kidney has become available for him, he hopes the same for those he’s met in dialysis. One man he knows has been on dialysis for eight years, and still waiting. Today, there are 364 people in B.C. who are currently waiting for

Becoming a donor

a kidney. It’s the most populated wait list in the province, making up the bulk of the 465 people who are waiting for some sort of organ transplant. An average wait in this province is 4.8 years, and patients don’t always make it to surgery day. But the push is on to increase the number of people registered as organ donors, and Buchanan is hoping that telling his story will encourage people to learn more about the benefits of registering as an organ donor, or even volunteering as a live organ donor. Fewer than 20 per cent of British Columbia have regis-

tered their wishes to have organs donated after death. The Kidney Foundation of Canada has recently committed itself to actively campaigning over the next five years, with the intention of increasing the rate of registered donors to 50 per cent. A summit is being held in Vancouver on May 1, where they’ll discuss the merits of “assumed” organ donation, where every resident is considered a donor unless they opt out. If they’re successful, the Kidney Foundation noted in a recent report, the number of British Columbians who die waiting for a kidney will be halved.

Buchanan supports their efforts, and is holding out hope that a live donor will step forward. His family has spent the last few years learning the differences between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. They have learned which toxins can build up in Buchanan’s blood and which are the most dangerous. Healthy kidneys constantly filter things like potassium, phosphorus, and urea out of our blood streams. When kidneys break down, the body fills with toxic waste. The different types of dialysis work to clean the blood — and Buchanan travels to Abbotsford for dialysis three times a week to

The BC Transplant Agency would like to be able to provide kidneys to patients even before dialysis is needed. The costs of a transplant is $15,000 and antirejection treatment is $5,500 annually. Dialysis treatment runs $50,000 a year. Beyond the cost, patients can live fuller lives postsurgery. Their website outlines all the risks and benefits to becoming a live organ donor, as well as a list of criteria. Donors must come forward voluntarily, and must not be under pressure or be forced to donate. They must be in good physical health and be able to give informed consent for the transplant procedure. Donors must be 19 years of age, but there is no strict upper limit for donors. The screening process for live donors is about six months, and donors can change their mind at any point in the process, for any reason. It includes several trips into local hospitals and to Vancouver for medical tests and to undergo psychological testing. Continued: KIDNEY/ p16 4-15F JM17

Organ donor registration expanded Becoming an organ donor just got even easier in B.C. Currently, more than 95 per cent of B.C. residents support organ donations, but less than 20 per cent are actually registered to donate their organs after death. Becoming an organ donor can lead to up to eight lives being saved. But you have to sign up and let your intentions be known. B.C. residents are now able to register their decision either way at 61 Service BC locations.

“Organ donation is one of the greatest gifts that can be given, Health Minister Terry Lake said on April 1. “Today’s announcement that British Columbians will be able to register at any Service BC location makes signing up even more accessible. In honour of the upcoming National Organ and Tissue Awareness Week, I encourage those that haven’t yet registered to take advantage of this new convenient opportunity.” Quick Facts:

• 465 British Columbians are

currently waiting for a life-saving transplant. • Just over 350 of the people on the list are waiting for a kidney. • A single donor can save up to eight lives. • A decal on your driver’s licence is no longer enough, a potential donor has to register online through BC Transplant Society using a BC Services Card or CareCard at http://www.transplant.bc.ca/ • You can register no matter how old you are. Canada’s oldest organ donor on record was 93.

The entire process is confidential. Donors will spend two to four nights in hospital in Vancouver, and will need four to 12 weeks of additional recovery time. Many of the costs associated with being a donor are covered, and some incidental costs can be reimbursed through the Living Organ Donor Expense Reimbursement Program. There are risks to both the donor and recipient, as with any surgery.

cover. It displays native dogwood-like flowers in May and June atop six to nine inch leafy stems. In native settings, it can be found under trees and by lakes and streams. Well-rotted old logs and areas of decaying bark seem to be some of their favourite growing places. They are quite attractive, but unless you know just how to get them started, using lots of fine bark mulch, even nursery-grown plants will have difficulty getting established. I’m truly fond of our ‘nuttallii’ (Western Dogwood) and ‘floridas’

(Eastern Dogwood) varieties but unfortunately, they are having some problems with crown canker and dogwood leaf blotch, diseases related to wet weather. Until weather patterns swing back to drier springs on the Coast, plant all of these varieties in very well-drained areas and preferably, in among other trees. Also, keep the kids away from the trunks, especially if they happen to be pushing a lawn mower. If the bark is damaged, disease will set in and spread more easily.

has small, shiny green leaves which turn a delightful yellow and red in the fall, and its autumn colours are enhanced by clusters of bright, edible scarlet fruits which remain on the tree from September until the birds clean them off. One of the most popular shrub dogwoods is ‘Cornus alba’ (Tatarian Dogwood). Most varieties are hardy throughout the province. My favourite new bush dogwood, however, is ‘Cornus Midwinter Fire’, with its chartreuse leaves and yellow and red coloured bark that lights up any winter garden. Surprisingly, both of these varieties perform equally well in shade or sun, and they are invaluable as contrast plants. In winter, the stems of both varieties are attractive, especially against a snowy background. They grow to about eight feet in height but an occasional pruning will keep them low and attractive. ‘Cornus canadensis’ is really a deciduous perennial ground

When we mention dogwoods, most folks think of our provincial flower which comes from the native dogwood, ‘Cornus nuttallii’ or the beautiful pink ‘floridas’. Brian Actually, MINTER the dogwood family is large and quite diverse. ‘Cornus’ is the Latin word for shrub. Specific names are given according to individual characteristics, or some varieties are named after breeders. ‘Cornus sanguinea’, for example, was so named because its bark is red. Dogwoods have been known by such colourful common names as ‘Bloody Twig’, ‘Wild Cornel’, ‘Dogberry’, ‘Hound’s Tooth’ and ‘Gater Tree’. In the landscape, the dogwood family is very useful. ‘Cornus mas’ (Cornelian Cherry) is first to bloom. In February and March, it bursts into masses of clustered, small yellow blossoms. Native to southern Europe and Asia, it’s hardy in all parts of the province and grows to about 15 feet in height. It

Yarrow plant sale a community fundraiser

AM I SAVING ENOUGH TO RETIRE COMFORTABLY?

They call it the Biggest Little Plant Sale in the Valley and itâ€™s set for April 18 in Yarrow. There will be some â€œincredible bargainsâ€? and some high-end material on offer at the Yarrow Volunteer Societyâ€™s annual fundraising plant sale, said spokesman Richard Rehsler.Â

More and more baby boomers are asking that question as they head toward retirement. The rule of thumb is that you will need about 70% of your pre-retirement income.

On line the timall e!

Many dogwoods to chose from In wet weather regions, I’ve really been impressed with the performance of two varieties. One is ‘Cornus kousa’. This multistemmed dogwood is native to Japan and Korea and is hardy to zone three with a minimum temperature ranging from 13° to -24°F. Growing 20 feet high, it blooms in June and July with delightful flowers which turn into huge red edible raspberrylike hips in the fall. Its autumn colouring is a knockout, and the other big bonus is its disease resistance. The most popular of all dogwoods are

the pink florida types. There are quite a few varieties, and all look magnificent. They will simply ‘pop’ with colour in your yard. They are just starting to show colour now and will have beautiful foliage this fall. ‘Eddie’s White

Wonder’ has also been quite remarkable. Chosen as Vancouver’s centennial tree, it has four to five inch flowers at the ends of slightly pendulous branches and stunning red fall colour - it’s a winner! Hardy and easy to transplant, it is quite

resistant to diseases affecting both the ‘nuttallii’ and ‘florida’ varieties. Dogwoods are now coming into bloom so take special note of the many varieties and perhaps find a home for at least one of them in your landscape.

Why diets fail: Healthy eating is not a short-term affair Have you tried every single diet plan in the book and failed? Maybe you never stuck with it, or maybe you did lose weight, but then you gained it all back (plus more). When it comes to diets, the odds are stacked Tanja against SHAW us. So what’s the answer? Certainly the answer is not to give up altogether. Today I am going to share the top reasons diets fail, and some tips to find a diet plan that will work for you. The mindset around dieting is perhaps the number one reason most diets fail. For most people, the word ‘diet’ implies that it’s a plan you’re going to go on for a set amount of time, and then be done with once you’ve lost the weight. Instead of thinking of a ‘diet’ as something that you go one, think about hav-

ing a diet. Simply put, your diet is the way you eat consistently for the long term. And, your diet will change at different stages of life. Along with the mindset of short-term diets, many people go into an eating plan with drudgery. They plan a ‘last supper’ event the night before the diet is going to start because they know their freedom to enjoy food will end once the diet starts. When improving your

diet, pick a plan that includes food that you enjoy. Food is for fuel, and for pleasure. If you are worried about not being able to eat as much as you have in the past, be grateful. The food you eat and enjoy will give you energy, not weigh you down and make you feel bloated and overfull. Many diet plans also fail because of the extreme restrictions it places on eating ‘eat

this, don’t eat that!’ Some plans emphasize ‘fake foods’, with the goal of being able to consume as much food as you can instead of the intent of nourishing your body. Think fat-free and chemicalsweetened alternatives. Many diet plans also make you reliant on shakes, bars and prepackaged meals, making it difficult to eat in the real world. Finally, most diet plans fail because they only emphasize the ‘what to eat’, and forget about the ‘why to eat’ and ‘how to eat’. In my opinion, the ‘what to eat’ is relatively simple. The ‘why and how’ is much more complex. If everyone ate only when they were hungry, and stopped when they were physically satiated, most people would easily maintain a healthy body weight. So which plan should you choose? Ultimately, there’s no ‘one size fits all’ approach. It’s okay to experiment with a plan, and see how it works for you. Do you like the food? Is the food

Tips for staying safe on the water Anglers yearn for spring when the ice has receded from the lake and they can get back on the water to visit favourite fishing holes. If you are like most and start your fishing early, here are a few tips to make sure that you don’t get caught by an unexpected breakdown or emergency on the water. ● Start by reloading all your safety equipment onto the boat, making sure that each piece is in proper working order and that all powered equip-

ment have fresh batteries. You can minimize the chance of getting stranded out on the water by ensuring that all systems on the boat are mechanically sound and that the gas tank is full with fresh gas before heading out. If you have a boat with external gas tanks, having a spare full tank on hand is a sound practice. ● In spring, the weather can change quickly so be sure to check the (marine) forecast before you go and be familiar with you and your boat’s weather limitations. And don’t be fooled by balmy spring breezes into dressing in light clothing. The water is still very cold and has a large influence in the air temperature above it, so be prepared

with warm thermal protective clothing so you won’t be cutting your time on the water short. ● A key piece of safety equipment is a marine radio or, where service is reliable, a cell phone to call for assistance. This time of year, there are fewer boats on the water to render assistance if you need it. Before departing, tell a reliable person where you are going, when you expect to return and the number to call if you not return as scheduled. ● As you head out, be sure to wear your lifejacket. The water is cold and the shock you may experience with an unexpected fall, could hamper your ability to swim or even

simply catch your breath. A lifejacket will give you the necessary time to sort things out and the time to rescue yourself. Plus with the number of styles available today, some specifically designed for anglers, there really is no reason not to wear one. ● If you do end up in the water, have a way to get back in your boat unassisted. It can be as simple as tying a four or five foot loop of rope to a cleat, leaving it coiled just inside the boat. Make sure that you can reach it from the water to use it as a step to get back into your boat. For more safe boating tips, visit the Canadian Safe Boating Council online at csbc.ca.

For my first column of the season, I will take a look at the latest trends to watch for in 2015, from the latest golf prodigies on tour to the newest equipment. With an exciting start to the first two majors of the yyear, ear, it’s hard to not talk about the PGA and LPGA tours. Twenty-one T wenty-one year old Jordan Spieth amazed us with his patience and maturity as he captured this year’s Masters Tournament T ournament in record-breaking fashion. Only three months older than Tiger Woods was when he won his first Masters, Spieth set several records at Augusta, A ugusta, including the lowest 36 hole and 54 hole lead records. We are now seeing more yyoung oung players turn pro at a younger age on the PGA Tour. T our. Could this be the beginning of an emergence of yyoung oung talent that was inspired by Woods? The LPGA had an equally dazzling first major of the yyear ear at the ANA Inspiration. Starting the week, Stacy Lewis had just been passed by teenage phenom Lydia Ko for number one on the Rolex World W orld Rankings. The final round did not disappoint as Brittany Lincicome eagled her final hole to force a playoff with Lewis. Lincicome won w on the battle after three play-off holes. We are sure to see some exciting LPGA rivalries in 2015 for the world number one ranking between Ko, Lewis and Inbee Park. Some of the trends we are seeing in equipment continues to push industry standards in 2015. With the anticipation of the new anti-anchor putters due to take place in 2016, many

players are starting to make the switch away from belly y putters and long putters. Counter balance putters are now taking the lead in the marketplace. These putters add more weight to the handle and the club face, helping create more stability through the stroke. Also look for more variety y of putter grips, which offerr varying sizes to match the needs of any putting style. With drivers, the trend continues to challenge the boundary of increasing speed and distance without sacrificing accuracy. Most of the bestt selling drivers, fairway metals and hybrids offer a numberr of adjustability settings which allow the average golfer to tune their club to best suitt their swing’s needs. Some of the brands pushing to head up the list forr hottest driver of the yearr are TaylorMade’s R15 and Aeroburner line, Callaway’s XR and Big Bertha Alpha, as well as Ping’s G30. Nike’s Vapor line has also had a great showing in early y 2015. Finally, a trend in 2015 thatt no one could have predicted. This year’s head cover trend has taken a retro look, and has peaked the interest off golfers young and old. Gone are the oversized sock-type covers. Back are the smaller, simple leatherr head covers. No matter who your favorite player to watch, or yourr style or swing type, 2015 will not disappoint. Jennifer teaches golf to adults and juniors at the Chilliwack Golf Academy.

On the womens’ side, Mikhayla Rosenow picked up a medal in the pre-novice elite division. She earned bronze on the floor, finishing eighth on the bars, 12th on the vault, 13th on the beam and 12th all-around.

Spring start for dragonboaters Barry Stewart, Black Press

Of The Week

There might be some midsummer evenings on Harrison Lake, when you can close your eyes and imagine that youâ€™re paddling your outrigger canoe off the shores of Honolulu â€” but if you close your eyes in the middle of a March rainstorm, it just gets your eyelids wet. Dragon boating paddlers from Hope and the upper valley have been battling through pre-season cold, wind and torrential rains for over a decade and now some of them are adding outrigger canoeing, or â€œOC,â€? to their preseason training. â€œRight now, Iâ€™d say there are five or six groups going out on different days, about half a dozen OC paddlers from the Hope area,â€? said Fraser Valley Dragon Boat Clubâ€™s OC director, Greg Kohlruss on Monday. â€œWe got our boat two years ago in March and the interest has been growing. The Cultus club has had two for longer than us. Weâ€™ll eventually purchase more.â€? The clubâ€™s outrigger canoe seats six and is about 14 metres long and weighs 166 kilos.

As a complete unit, including the waterrepelling skirt, it cost $14,000, said Kohlruss. C o q u i h a l l a Elementar y teacher, Sara McIntosh, is in an OC group that paddles on Monday nights. She was missing from the photo session but contributed via e-mail from Hawaii. â€œOur club president, Scott Farrell, gets asked if you have to be in shape to dragon boat and his answer is â€˜round is a shape,â€™â€? said McIntosh. That doesnâ€™t quite work for the outrigger canoe, as itâ€™s even slimmer than a regular canoe. If you can easily fit between the armrests of an office chair, you should be able to take a spot near the middle. If youâ€™re on the slim side you may get to squeeze into the bow seat. This would be one tippy canoe, if not for the outrigger, or â€œamaâ€? which is held in place by two booms or â€œiakus.â€? Even with the outrigger, it can flip when a side wave and the wrong lean combine. â€œLean left,â€? is the advice for beginners. Veterans seem to know that rule, from experienceâ€Ś a cold and wet experience. â€œA lot of the time,

The Chilliwack Chiefs spring camp is this weekend at Prospera Centre, featuring a series of prospect scrimmages. Catch action on the ice Saturday at 8 and 9:50 a.m. and 4 and 5:50 p.m. with Sunday scrimmages at 8 and 9:35 a.m.

we do a â€˜huliâ€™ practice, where we tip the boat over and practice getting back in and bailing it out,â€? said Kohlruss. Itâ€™s quite a procedure, as you can see in Youtube examples. You might wonder why seemingly normal people would subject themselves to the cold water of Harrison Lake â€” even in the summer, let alone in the winter â€” but people can do crazy things when theyâ€™re on a team. â€œI am totally hooked!â€? said McIntosh. â€œI started dragon boating in 2010. I have never been a team sport person but Trish Kjemhus got me to try and I was immediately hooked, even though it was raining the first few times I went out. I love the camaraderie, the exercise and the competition. â€œI have never been a team sport person, due to some bad experiences in my youth but Trish convinced me that when we were all sitting in the boat, no one could tell who was paddling the hardest! â€œI just started OC in the fall of 2014,â€? said McIntosh. â€œI started as a way to keep in shape and on-the-water over winter and I am hooked. Iâ€™ve even done a race and am signed up for

another. I initially saw it as a winter thing but I will be doing OC as much as I can. I still love dragon boat, though, so I wonâ€™t be giving that up anytime soon! I must love OC, because I go out in the dark, rain and wind â€” even though I hate being cold!â€? The club is hosting an 18K â€œEcho Island Challengeâ€? on August 22, with a mass start from the beach in front of the Harrison Hotel. Kohlruss expects perhaps 15 to 20 teams to attend from the Interior, Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island and Washington State. Compared to the 120 to 130-stroke 500-metre dragon boat sprints, OC races tend to be 5K or more, with paddlers changing sides every 12 to 15 strokes â€” something you canâ€™t do on the wider dragon boats, which have two people beside each other. â€œI expect that the fastest crews will finish in one hour, forty minutes to two hours,â€? said Kohlruss of the roundthe-island race. The club is offering three free try-out sessions for anyone interested in checking out the sport. You can reach Kohlruss at 604-7956881.

Optimistic youth The Optimist Eagles youth dragonboat team is looking for new paddlers between the ages of 13 and 18. The team practices every Saturday on Harrison Lake. Their first gathering is tomorrow (April 18), with paddlers meeting at 9:30 a.m. at the Harrison Marina Gates (102 Rockwell Drive in Harrison Hot Springs). All required equipment will be supplied, along with instruction. The cost is free. The Eagles operate under the umbrella of the Harrison Paddle Sports Club.

She studied at Briercrest Bible Institute prior to training as a registered nurse in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan, a career she pursued from 1954 to 1988 in British Columbia. In her spare time Ann tried her hand at oil painting and was adept with a sewing machine. She was always a great fan of professional ice skating admiring the graceful movements. In September 1985 Ann married Grant Caseby. They made their home in Richmond and later in Abbotsford. While still in good health, they enjoyed visits to Scotland and various parts of Canada. Anna and her husband were involved members of Calvin Presbyterian Church, Abbotsford. For some years she was a volunteer pastoral visitor to people in hospital care - a role that drew on both her Christian faith and her nursing experience. Many thanks to her physician, Dr. Richard Welsh, and staffers of Fraser Health and Abbotsford Hospital for the care they provided in her declining weeks. A memorial service will be held on Monday, April 20 at 1:30 pm at Calvin Presbyterian Church, 2597 Bourquin Crescent East, Abbotsford BC V2S 1Y6 Canada with The Rev. Dr. Blair D. Bertrand officiating. If desired, in lieu of flowers, please make a donation to Calvin Presbyterian Church or to the charity of your choice.
