Trustees cancel bus fees Katie Bartel The Progress Starting next year, no student in Chilliwack will be charged for busing. After two years of charging all students for transportation, Chilliwack trustees voted in favour of dropping the fee. The school district registered a $72,000 surplus in its first year of charging for transportation and estimates an $85,909 surplus for this year. Ongoing expenses, which include software and staffing, are $80,735. “No business would spend the same amount of money to collect fees,” said trustee Silvia Dyck. “The cost-benefit analysis is a wash.” The district started charging bus fees in 2010, after experiencing ongoing shortfalls in the range of $290,000 every year since 2002 when the provincial government froze funding for transportation. Secretar y treasurer Maureen Carradice said the issue at the time the decision was made was whether money intended for classrooms and infrastructure should be taken from the operating budget to support a small number of students, 20 per cent of the district’s total population, who were utilizing transportation. A $200 per student fee, up to a maximum $600 per family, was implemented in 2010. The provincial government recently increased its funding formula, which helped increase transportation revenue. Trustees were presented with a range of options, which included continuing to charge all riders, charge only conditional riders, create a graduated payment system for families with more than one rider, refund the transportation fee, cancel the fee and reduce
Differences clear at all-candidates meeting Robert Freeman The Progress The Rotary Club is all about fellowship, but the differences between byelection candidates were quickly drawn out by questions posed by Chilliwack Fraser Rotarians Wednesday. Asked about splitting the conservative vote, BC Conservative candidate John Martin said his party is “earning the vote” rather than splitting it. He said the BC Liberals “squandered” their once commanding lead in the province by its own policy decisions, driving out party members until “there’s not a safe seat left in the

province.” “We’re giving those people a home,” he said. But BC Liberal candidate Laurie Throness said his party is the coalition of conservatives that has “kept the NDP out of power” all these years, and provided a government based on free-enterprise principles. Throness “appealed to other small-c conservatives” like himself, he said, “to keep that coalition strong.” NDP candidate Gwen O’Mahony said she is “sick and tired” of hearing the two conservative parties “fear-mongering” while the real issue of the byelection is simply selecting an MLA
“who will work for you.” If voters don’t like what she does as the MLA, she said, they can always vote her out in one year’s time in the next provincial election in May, 2013. Asked about the teachers’ dispute, Throness described a BC Liberal government that had “held the line” and refused wage demands made by 130 public sector unions in an effort to balance the provincial budget. There is an “urgent need” to prepare B.C. for the impact of the U.S. debt that has now hit $15 trillion, he warned. But Martin described the BC Liberal government actions as more child-like.

He said teachers have not always been reasonable, but the government has “the responsibility to be the adult in this relationship and that hasn’t happened.” He said the government’s track record of “literally tearing up contracts” is “absolutely inexcusable.” O’Mahony was asked how the “union-friendly” NDP government would pay for wage increases it would presumably approve. She said the party had in fact supported a mediator in the teachers’ dispute, and would leave contract negotiations at the bargaining table. Continued: DEBATE/ p12

School board approves McCreary student survey Katie Bartel The Progress After years of declining to participate in an adolescent health survey, Chilliwack’s board of education has relented – but not without opposition. The board of education approved a motion to participate in the McCreary Centre Adolescent Health Survey at Tuesday night’s board meeting. The only two trustees in opposition were Heather Maahs and Martha Wiens. Maahs said she still was not comfortable subjecting Chilliwack’s “innocence” to questions relating
to sexual orientation, drugs and alcohol use. “I don’t believe this would be in the best interest of students,” said Maahs. “I feel it would be exploitive for us to subject the students and their innocence to a survey like this.” The McCrear y Adolescent Health Survey is an anonymous pen-and-paper survey questioning youth in Grades 7-12 about physical and emotional health, ranging in areas of sex, drugs, alcohol and cigarette use, as well as mental health issues. Every four years the survey is conducted by the McCreary
Centre Society, a non-profit, nongovernment agency. Chilliwack did not participate in the 2003 or 2008 surveys. Maahs and Wiens also had concerns with not seeing the survey beforehand, and were not satisfied with a sampling of questions that were provided in the board meeting agenda. However, other trustees felt the benefits of the survey far outweighed the concerns. Trustee Walt Krahn felt the survey is an opportunity to monitor the health and wellness of all youth in the district and to formulate specific programs based on
the survey’s results. Trustee Barry Neufeld said local agencies like Youth Services are currently missing out on funding for Chilliwack’s vulnerable youth because they don’t have accurate information to provide – information that could be obtained through the adolescent health survey. “Having worked with at-risk students for many years, I know how important it is to have accurate information,” said Neufeld. The survey was approved with the condition of every student requiring parental consent before writing.
District Parents’ Advisor y Council treasurer Don Davis was pleased with the decision. A parent of two teenagers, Davis believes the survey would uncover the truths for many of Chilliwack’s youth. “I think that we don’t know enough of what’s going on with our students,” said Davis. “Other school districts have benefitted by participating in this survey. I think it was time we stepped up.” The survey will be conducted by a public health nurse in 2013. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33
Titanic collection continues to sail on Katie Bartel The Progress For Fred Hails, remembering the Titanic has been a long loved passion. It started when he was 13 years old, aboard the Queen Mary in 1948 from England to New York. His family was traveling first class, but somehow the curious teen ended up on the lower deck of the ship. And just like on the Titanic, the Queen Mary had rails separating the first class from the second and third classes. When the young Hails tried climbing over, “I got clipped in the ears by one of the officers,” the owner of Dickens British Museum recalled. “They had to get the purser in first class to vouch for me in order to let me back up.” Now, almost 65 years later, Hails has a collection of Titanic artifacts and replicas exceeding 1,800 pieces. On April 15, 1912, the British passenger liner sank in the North Atlantic Ocean after colliding with an iceberg during her maiden voyage from Southampton, England to New York City. There were 2,208 on board, but only 1,178 life boats, leaving 1,030 lost at sea. “It’s a history,” Hails said. “It’s a triumph, a tragedy. You think of all those people, of the heros, the band that played on, and of course Captain Smith’s last words: ‘Be British.’” It’s something, he said, that can’t ever be forgotten. In honour of the 100th anniversary this weekend, Dickens British Museum has expanded its RMS Titanic exhibition. Visitors will be sailed back in time as they climb the gangway stairs, passing by framed photos, newsprint, posters and collages depicting the historical event. On display, there are old

suitcases, antique trunks, and an original cart, made in 1910, that was used on the dockyards. There are replica boarding tickets, pocket watches, pipes, and a tiny, shriveled-up, polystyrene cup that sunk two miles down from the Titanic. There is also a chunk of coal taken from the Titanic’s remains and replica dinnerware for first, second and third class settings. And surely not to be missed is the VHS display, featuring more than 400 copies of James Cameron’s Oscar-winning Titanic. “All I wanted to do was collect 100 for the anniversary, but I just kept going,” said Hails, who
started collecting a year ago by scavenging through thrift stores, garage sales, and flea markets. The movie collection is meant to commemorate the 150 victims who were buried in Halifax, the 119 bodies that were recovered and buried at sea, and the 59 bodies that were shipped home to relatives. In addition to the exhibit, the museum has also donated wheelchairs to the Canadian Wheelchair Foundation, a nonprofit organization that delivers wheelchairs to children in need, in memory of Titanic patrons. Such patrons include Millvina Dean, the last survivor to die,
Ashley
Captain Edward John Smith, Captain Arthur Henry Rostron, and the “unsinkable” Molly Brown, an American socialite who commanded the crew of her lifeboat to go back and look for survivors. Hails has been collecting his Titanic memorabilia for years, and “as long as I find more wall space, I’ll keep collecting,” he smiled. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Thousands of dollars worth of electronic merchandise was stolen during a break-in at the Future Shop in Chilliwack early Monday morning. Police are looking for two suspects in the case, one described as a white male in his early- to mid-30s wearing khaki shorts, a black-andwhite hooded sweat shirt and white running shoes. The second suspect is also a white male wearing jeans, white running shoes and a black baseball cap. Police believe the suspects had a vehicle to leave the scene of the 4:30 a.m. break-in at 45805 Luckakuck Way. “This was a significant break-and-enter to a local business, and we are looking for information from the public to assist us,” RCMP Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. She would not release details at this time about how the suspects broke into the store, but said descriptions of the suspects were obtained by video surveillance. Anyone with information is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

From right (centre), MLA John Les, housing minister Rich Coleman, and Ruth and Naomi’s board chair Wayne Massey announce a $175,000 investment from the province of B.C. on Tuesday. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Fresh funding to offer transitional housing Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The newly expanded Ruth & Naomi’s Mission is celebrating its second significant financial boost of the year from the B.C. government. Chilliwack MLA John Les, and Rich Coleman, minister responsible for housing, arrived in person Tuesday to deliver news of funding in the amount of $175,000, to get the newly built transitional housing part of the building up and running. The new money will pay for training, counselling and schooling of transitional tenants who will stay in the second floor units at Ruth & Naomi’s, with the goal of being reintegrated back into society over the long-term. It’s a “good model” they’ve set up, said Coleman at the press conference. The project has significant “reach” across the Fraser Valley, he said, describing a discussion he had with a mission volunteer who attended at his Easter gathering in Langley. The minister was quizzed about his own involvement in the project at his own home, and the question came from someone who travels to Chilliwack from Abbotsford to volunteer at the mission. “That’s the extent of your reach,” he told Ruth & Naomi’s reps. Ruth & Naomi’s offers emergency shelter beds for up to 20, meals every day for between 120 and 130 people, and plans to offer transitional housing for 25 on the second floor of the new building. “We felt it was important to come forward and make one more contribution,” Coleman said. He credited Les for making the case
for more funding, and likened his tenacity to a dog with a bone. “We’re proud to be able to do this.” The local MLA in turn thanked the minister for having an “open ear.” Les acknowledged the solid community buy-in the project has enjoyed, from volunteers and service groups, to churches, businesses and construction trade. “That speaks volumes,” he said noting the rooms upstairs had been outfitted by the Lions and Kiwanis, “and it makes it easy for the government to step up and say, ‘We want to be part of this, too.’” Strong partnerships from the community contributed to the success of the project, including donated materials and labour during the construction phases, and that didn’t go unnoticed. The $175,000 in funding from BC Housing will pay the operating expenses for the remainder of 2012, and subsequent funding subsidies for the transitional housing program will be reviewed annually, said board chair Wayne Massey. “This is a big, big commitment,” he said. The latest funding boost is in addition to the $387,000 cheque from February which came through to help offset costs related to the environmental remediation of the site. An underground clean-up operation had to be conducted before the new building was constructed to remove contaminated soil underground at the former dry cleaners location. As a result, the $1-million building project ended up with a $450,000 mortgage. But the funding grants have almost wiped out their debt now.

But there are others who also have the BC Liberal candidate in their sights, and the Thursday night meeting may be their only chance to have a go at him as it appears to be the only venue open to the general public during this byelection. But Throness said that’s the reason he wants to be at the all-candidates meeting on Thursday. “I want to be the MLA for all the residents of Chilliwack-Hope,” he said, not just those who agree with BC Liberal government policies. Opponents of a gravel mining plan at the Fraser Valley Regional District are hoping to make it a byelection issue for all the candidates, which include NDP Gwen O’Mahony, BC Conservative John Martin, and Libertarian Lewis Dahlby. But residents unhappy with the plan view the BC Liberal government as the main culprit in reaching the agreement with the gravel industry. They see themselves as shut out of the five years it took to negotiate the agreement, and shut out again this week from a meeting at the regional district with the gravel industry to “refine” the maps where mining will be allowed in the region.

initiated the Aggregate Pilot Program, said those maps will be taken to public hearings, but residents question how much they will be able to change maps. The BC Liberal candidate will also be the target for a Rosedale resident who discovered a farm property across the street may be removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve. Susan Payne says the Tycrop plant on McGrath Road has announced plans to expand, yet has not “secured the site” with an approval from the Agricultural Land Commission to remove the property, also on McGrath Road, from the ALR. Adding to her suspicions, Payne said the plant was visited recently by BC Premier Christy Clark and Throness, and Chilliwack MLA John Les has also mentioned his friendship with the plant’s owner in the legislature. “Is there a deal behind closed doors?” she asked. Tycrop officials were not available for comment this week, but an employee at the plant said they would be happy to talk about expansion plans next week. City of Chilliwack planning staff said Tycrop has filed a notice of application for exclusion from the ALR, but has not yet submitted the application with details of the proposed land use. Throness was reluctant to discuss details of what the owners have told him about their expansion plans, but he pointed out that an “independent commission,” not the government, decides what properties come out of the land reserve. “Tycrop will have to jump the hoops just like everyone else ... there are no special favours for anyone,” he said.
Secondary is bound to be a minefield for Throness as the contract dispute between teachers and the BC Liberal government continues to be a hot-button issue. “I’m going to go,” Throness said resolutely in a Tuesday telephone interview. “I don’t expect bouquets of roses.”

Past TASK graduates (some of whom move on to more coursework such as upgrading courses or trades certificates) have experienced great placements and real skill-building through the program. Edward Davies is such a graduate. His next step after TASK was upgrading courses at UFV and then UFV’s Culinary Arts program. He is now working at Panorama Mountain Village Resort cafeteria. “Thinking of how far I came after graduating the TASK program I am pretty happy,” Davies says, “But the adventure still goes on. I am only 23 and I still have goals to accomplish.” He has advice for people with disabilities looking to enter the workforce. “Set goals in life one step at a time; work hard to do what you want to do. There are lots of job opportunities.” He credits programs like UFV’s TASK with helping students with disabilities reach their goals. BC Minister of Advanced Education Naomi Yamamoto is also pleased with the TASK program. “The opportunity to take postsecondary studies and successfully complete a program is important to all inviduals wishing to access the labour market, but even more imperative for people with disabilities, as the nature of the disability may restrict their prospects for employment,”said Carol Prest on behalf of Yamamoto. “We want to recognize the important role of the Workplace TASK program in assisting so many people with disabilities to attain their goals and meet their aspirations.”
ithin the community of Chilliwack, a movement is growing to include in the workforce a significant segment of the population that is too often overlooked. People with disabilities make up a disproportionate part of the unemployed population. The biggest barrier to their employment is misinformation. Employers are often unsure of their abilities or worry that the job description would need to be changed too much. In reality, flexible hours are the most frequent request. UFV has been a part of this movement for a decade. Workplace TASK is a program offered by the Upgrading and University Preparation department — for students with disabilities wanting to explore and obtain employment in the workplace. (TASK stands for Training in Attitudes, Skills and Knowledge.) Part of the program is classroom based. In this component, they learn employment-preparation, workplace-safety, and selfmanagement skills, and get certified in FoodSafe, SuperHost, first aid, and WHMIS). The second component is a series of work-experience placements in local businesses. TASK is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary, reflecting UFV’s dedication to inclusiveness. Encouraging inclusiveness is part of UFV’s identity as a forward-thinking Canadian university. UFV’s approach is that anyone who wants to go to university should be given a fair chance, so its admission policies
are flexible, and it provides university prep courses and high school completion for those who aren’t quite ready. The Workplace TASK program is a part of that philosophy, recognizing that people with disabilities should be included in an open-minded and flexible university learning environment. Chilliwack mayor Sharon Gaetz is not surprised that the Chilliwack businesses that welcome TASK students on work experience are being models of inclusiveness for employers. “Inclusivity is a large element in the strong community spirit for which Chilliwack citizens are well known,” she says. “Chilliwack’s community leaders understand that a welcoming culture is a competitive advantage. Inclusivity fosters flexibility and innovation and in this challenging economic environment,” she adds. She feels that university opportunities are important to people with disabilities in that they increase the chances of individual success. “Citizens, businesses and our city all benefit when every member of our community has an opportunity to meet his or her full potential.” Local businesses partnering with UFV in this way see the benefits of work experience placements for students with disabilities. “It feels good to mentor young people and especially students facing barriers to employment. Alex was inspiring to the rest of my crew with his great work ethic and can-do attitude. It is a mutually beneficial thing. I would do it again,” says Chef Dan at Garrison Bistro.
Chilliwack Transition Committee presents annual Transition Fair Wed, April 25 Doors open at 6:30; event runs 7–9 pm UFV Cafeteria (D Building) Welcoming students with disabilities and their families and support workers as well as professionals in the field; Chilliwack’s many disability service providers come together to share information to help with all types of transition. You’ll find upgrading programs as well as recreation, health, education, and employment day programs. There are answers here to your questions about what step to take next. So many helpful people under one roof makes this an event not to be missed.
Local businesses believe in hiring people with disabilities Our sponsor this month is local dentist Dr. Dean Monty. He is an ongoing advocate for equal opportunity hiring practices. He encourages other local businesses to follow his lead and recognize the importance of hiring inclusively. “I have found hiring a graduate of UFV’s TASK program to be a real asset to my practice. The experience has been a positive one for her, for my practice, and my other staff as well. I have no reservations about recommending other employers do the same.” — Dr. Dean Monty

Asking the tough questions Ignorance may be bliss in some circles, but not when the needs of Chilliwack’s most vulnerable are at stake. That was the message various social agencies hoped the Chilliwack Board of Education would understand as trustees debated the merits of allowing students to take part in a survey by the McCreary Centre Society. The study is conducted every four years in British Columbia. Since 1992 more than 100,000 individuals in grades 7 to 12 have provided a picture of the issues, attitudes and behaviours of today’s youth. That data is used by government and non-profit agencies as a basis for, among other things, determining the needs of a community. Missing from that picture, however, has been Chilliwack. The last survey conducted by the McCreary Centre was in 2008; the one before that was 2003. But voices from Chilliwack’s youth in both those surveys were absent – silenced by the fears of trustees who thought the questions too explicit, the study too probing. Those fears were present again Tuesday evening as trustees
The Chilliwack
voted on participation in the next McCreary study, set for 2013. Fortunately, they were the minority. In a five-to-two vote, the Chilliwack school board decided to allow the district to take part in the study. (Parents will have the option of opting their child out.) That’s welcome news for people like Tim Bohr, youth services director with Chilliwack Community Services, and Dan Bibby of the Ministry of Children and Family Development. The two had appealed to the board last month to allow Chilliwack’s participation. The survey satisfies more than idle curiosity about today’s youth, they argued. It provides hard data that agencies use to access the money necessary to fund the programs that address the very real issues facing young people. No data means no funding – and no support for Chilliwack’s most vulnerable. We may not like all the answers we hear from the survey. But we need the courage to ask. Others are counting on us. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

The political spotlight falls on John Cummins VICTORIA – The information age might have sped up B.C. voters’ mood swings, but the basic dynamic hasn’t changed since the days of Social Credit. When familiarity breeds contempt, people vote to reject the familiar and see what happens. Or as one radio talk-show caller summed up his decision to climb on board the B.C. Conservative bandwagon, he knows two things about leader John Cummins: “He’s not Adrian Dix and he’s not Christy Clark.” It’s been more than 21 years since Gordon Wilson reshaped B.C. politics and launched the modern-day B.C. Liberal Party with a single quip in a leaders’ debate between a bickering Rita Johnston and Mike Harcourt. Cummins has about a year to show he’s earned his rising poll numbers, and to refute the conventional wisdom that he’s

the best friend the NDP has had since Wilson put them in power and later joined them. So let’s get to know Cummins a bit better. He’s 70, and has an 18-year record as a ReformA l l i a n c e Conservative MP. His Ottawa days are mainly remembered for battling treaties and aboriginal-only fisheries, and for being the first Reform MP Tom to reverse himFLETCHER self and take the MP pension. That pension pays him about $100,000 a year as he tries to build a second political career in B.C. Another legacy of Cummins’ federal record is his support for the harmonized sales tax. As he hastens to clarify, he supported
Conservative legislation to enter into HST deals with any province, which Ontario and B.C. subsequently did. Cummins said B.C. could have brought in the HST at a lower rate to reflect its broader reach, as Atlantic provinces did. But they tried to make it a “tax grab” and now they’ve “poisoned the well” for many years. “We’re going to have to pay the price I guess, in the sense that where it has been introduced, it has been shown to have grown business,” Cummins said. “Think tanks on both the left and the right have come to that conclusion.” To me this beats the NDP’s crude coffee-shop populism that simply ignores HST benefits for small business and the poor. Speaking of crude, Cummins further distinguishes himself from the B.C. Liberals by endorsing the
proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline to Kitimat. He applauds the federal government for moving to place limits on submissions to federal environment hearings, citing the thousands of Internet sign-ups that have clogged the Northern Gateway hearings. His record on aboriginal issues suggests he has little sympathy for territorial objections from First Nations, those with treaties or those without. The April 19 byelections in Por t Moody-Coquitlam and Chilliwack-Hope offer a chance for the B.C. Conser vatives to present policy alternatives. So far they’re against gas taxes, especially the carbon tax, against a second Metro Vancouver garbage incinerator, and in favour of fixing the “catch and release” justice system. These are the slogans that stand in for actual policies needed to govern.

Cummins will be going door to door in the byelections, especially in Chilliwack-Hope, where he believes his upstart party has a real shot at winning. He offers a telling anecdote about the last time he was doorknocking in Port Moody, the premier’s former hometown. The B.C. Liberals have suggested the B.C. Conser vatives chose Christine Clarke as their candidate to capitalize on the premier’s name recognition. That wasn’t what Cummins and his previously unknown candidate found when they first started campaigning. “She’d say hi, my name is Christine Clarke, and the doors would close rather quickly,” Cummins said. Now she identifies herself as the B.C. Conservative candidate, then gives her name. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Positive outlook refreshing In response to your story about Lolly’s smash and grab (Smashed storefront can’t dampen merchant’s positive outlook, Chilliwack Progress, April 3): Well done Lois Chadburn; I think you are priceless! As a business owner down-
town, I would like to thank Lois for all the countless hours and time she puts in to help the downtown be a great place to shop, eat, live and play. I’m with you, Lois. I love it downtown and my business is thriving. I am oh, so tired of hear-
ing closed minded, negative people (who, as a matter of fact, never shop here) run the downtown down. Thanks for your positive attitude. Grase Raskob, Desirable Things
Get your hands out of my pockets At $522,000 a year, one would assume the B.C. taxpayers are getting top notch business management from a BC Hydro CEO like John Schubert. Decisions like buying Smart Meters at $1 billion – good for job creation, not here in B.C. or Canada, but in USA where they were purchased. All 11 crown corporation executives were awarded with close to $4 million in bonuses on top of exorbitant wages and gold plated pensions, try $315,000/ year after just 10 years on the job. A nice 15 per cent bonus for TransLink CEOs and nice net zero per cent for teachers. BC Ferries David Hahn is also hard at work promoting BC Ferries and BC job creation, that’s why he bought all the new ships in Germany, net zero BC jobs and materials. What overpaid B.C. government bureaucrat hired a
U.S. company to build the new Port Mann Bridge and why was all the steel brought from the states? Why not hire Wally Opal at $2,000 a day to do another royal commission. Our MLAs, Opal and judges all belong to the same country club, so don’t hold your breath. All I know is my hydro bill went from $171 to $511 shortly after getting a Smart Metre; I wasted 45 minutes arguing with a hydro rep for nothing. I might as well phone a rock. Christy Clark and her Liberal government are trying hard to get all of us a job cleaning up after Enbridge when they have a spill. Can you recall watching the news of a BC Ferry plowing into the docks and pleasure boats in Horseshoe Bay? Apparently a five-cent cotter pin fell out. Now picture a fully loaded oil tanker

one that is fiscally conservative and focused on keeping the province’s middle class healthy and strong like the BC Liberal Party -- a party which is filled with a coalition of middleclass, fiscally responsible financial conservatives, from all parties. By deliberately attempting to misdirect and split B.C.’s free enterprise centre-right coalition the way John Cummins and John Martin seem recklessly determined to do, they are paving the way for a radical NDP government under Adrian Dix.

(with a loose cotter pin) parked beside the Queen of the North at the bottom of the Inside Passage, or maybe a burst oil pipeline pumping thousands of gallons of oil into the Fraser River. We are headed for a catastrophe here in B.C. that will make the Costa Concordia grounding as insignificant as a beached rowboat. By the way, before calling 9-1-1, consider a first aid kit and home cure versus a hallway visit in a filthy hospital. My pockets are bulging, not from money but from all the government hands in them. Hide your wallets, get off our butts and do some serious government changing and start lobbying for “elected judges” who can be made responsible to us the taxpayers.
BC Conservative election signs called misleading John Martin’s election signs are the biggest lie I’ve ever seen. Not only do they deliberately mislead people with what they claim on them, the signs are also phony look-alikes designed to make voters think they are voting for Stephen Harper’s Federal Conservatives when they are really voting for John Cummins’ radically destructive B.C. Conservative party. This is one of many lies, mistruths and deliberate misdirections that, in my opinion, need to be exposed and brought to the attention of every voter like me who believes in a pro-business, pro-jobs, free enterprise government in B.C.,

School district seeks input on two-week spring break Katie Bartel The Progress To be or not to be,
that’s the question Chilliwack school district wants answered with regards to a two-

out regarding the potential change to the school calendar for the 2012-13 school year.
The survey includes three questions: Do you support a two-week spring break for next
year? What are some issues that would arise for you as a result of a two-week spring break? What group do you belong to within the community? As of Wednesday, the district had received more than 600 responses. The district has been looking into the feasibility of employing a twoweek spring break for next year, because of it falling on the week prior to Easter long weekend, which would mean students would be back in school for four days and then off again for a long weekend. If approved, spring break will fall between March 18 and April 1. However, the last time the school district imposed a two-week spring break in 2010, it was met with great amounts of backlash from several groups including parents and support workers. The online survey is on the school district’s website at www.sd33. bc.ca, and will be up until April 19. A decision will be made at the April 24 board of education meeting. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33
Candidates debate DEBATE from Front Throness defended the carbon tax while Martin said a BC Conservative government would scrap it. O’Mahony said an NDP government would keep the tax, but use it to fund municipal transit. Throness said if the revenue-neutral tax is scrapped, the government would have to raise taxes in other areas, or make spending cuts, or borrow funds. “The carbon tax is meant to change behaviour, and that’s all,” he said. But Martin said “nobody is driving less because of the carbon tax.” “It’s a particularly punitive tax, especially to rural residents,” he said, because they have no other means of transportation. “It just doesn’t add up at the end of the day,” he said. “The carbon tax is gone.” rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Trustee abandons long distance meetings Chilliwack’s school superintendent was admonished by trustees for seeking legal counsel in the matter of electronic participation at board meetings. Trustees Silvia Dyck and Heather Maahs said legal counsel was not required, that the matter could have been resolved amongst the board in a private meeting. “We didn’t need to make a big deal of this,” said Dyck, who requested a meeting to debrief the situation but was denied. “We should have been able to get together and figure this out. We didn’t need to seek legal counsel.” The issue arose from technical difficulties at the last two meetings where trustee Doug McKay attended via Elluminate Live, an online web-conferencing system, that was having problems with sound, making it impossible for McKay to be heard. As a result, his votes were done by email. At the March 13 board meeting, a fed up Gord Byers, president of the District Parents’ Advisory Council, voiced his concerns over not being able to hear McKay’s votes. The following day, trustee Heather Maahs, who did not voice any concern at the public meeting, sent an email to the superintendent and trustees stating that McKay’s votes did not count pursuant to Section 67 of the school act, which states trustees may participate in meetings by telephone or other means of communication only if all trustees are able to communicate with each other. However, in her findings, lawyer Wendy
Harris, of Harris and Company, said that because there was no objection by trustees at the meeting over not being able to hear McKay, and no objections to his voting on motions at the time, the technical difficulties were not sufficient to invalidate the March 13 proceedings. Vice Chair Walt Krahn justified the legal counsel by stating that the trustees differing views on the situation would have resulted in a stalemate. “We could not have dealt with that on our own,” said Krahn. But even with legal counsel in his favour, trustee Doug McKay, who was at Tuesday’s
board meeting, announced he would not again participate in meetings electronically with the district’s webconferencing system in its present form. “In the 21st century world of electronic communication, it is common for governments, large organizations, including some of our own, regional hospital districts and many others to use systems such as Elluminate for effective communication,” said McKay. “Unfortunately, our Elluminate system needs some work. I believe, in its present version, Elluminate is not an effective system for this type of meeting.”

GRANT APPLICATIONS INVITED The Chilliwack Foundation was established in 1985 to distribute bequests and gifts to benefit the community. It considers new applications for grants to community organizations each year .
B.C. allows alcohol in movie theatres
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW BEING ACCEPTED FOR GRANTS TO FUND SPECIFIC CAPITAL PROJECTS (LIKE BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS OR EQUIPMENT).
Black Press
THE DEADLINE FOR GRANT APPLICATIONS TO THE FOUNDATION FOR THIS SPRING IS MONDAY, MAY 14, 2012. Past Foundation Awards have included grants to the following community organizations:
• Bernard Elementary School Parents’ Council • Mennonite Central Committee Thrift Store • Chilliwack Players’ Guild • Chilliwack Resource Centre • 147 Air Wolf Air Cadets Parent Society • Chilliwack Arts and Cultural Centre Society Applicants must apply through a federally registered charity in order to be eligible for consideration. Grants for operating expenses cannot be entertained. Successful applications normally will demonstrate lasting value and benefit to the CHILLIWACK community.
Tom Fletcher VICTORIA – The B.C. government has created a new liquor licence that allows theatres to serve alcohol during movie showings. Rich Coleman, the cabinet minister responsible for B.C. liquor and gambling policy, says the change will get rid of red tape for theatres that could get a licence to serve alcohol for live events, but couldn’t show movies in the same place. The new licence will allow theatres to serve drinks in the lobby, but patrons won’t be able
to take drinks to their movie seat unless the room is adults-only. Coleman said unlike the stands at a hockey game or out in a well-lit lobby, it’s difficult for operators to see if minors are sneaking drinks in a dark theatre. A multiplex cinema now has the option of designating one theatre for adults only and serving drinks, an approach that has caught on in other jurisdictions along with larger seats and tables. The licence would also cover an adults-only lounge adjacent to the theatre. Other theatres that
have live shows will be able to take part in film festivals without having to close their bar or apply for a new licence. “People are trying to save the older theatres, where it’s just a singlescreen operation, and trying to have two types of business in order to basically survive and make those older traditional heritage-type theatres work,” Coleman said. Ontario, Alberta and Manitoba already have similar licences for movie theatres. Jeremy Bator, president of the Motion Picture Theatre Association of B.C.,
praised the move. “These changes will have a positive impact on so many levels, including increased jobs, a better guest experience and a more level playing field in the increasingly competitive landscape of entertainment in Canada,” Bator said. Matthew Gibbons, president of the Vogue Theatre in Vancouver, said his heritage theatre is now mainly a live performance venue, and the new licence will make it easier to take part in the annual Vancouver International Film Festival.

service, or cancel the fee and maintain service as is. Trustees were warned by Carradice that if the fee was canceled outright, it would be difficult to charge for busing again. Trustee Doug McKay suggested the board suspend the fee for the 2012-13 school year and reassess their options in April 2013
to see how the new government transportation funding works. “I too am opposed to charging fees, however I am also opposed to borrowing from other budget lines to balance transportation shortfalls,” said McKay. But other trustees were not amenable. Trustee Martha Wiens said the bus fees have “left a bad taste” amongst the community.
And Dyck said that a delay in the decision would still cost the district by way of staffing and software. “I don’t believe we need to be doing this,” said Dyck. “This board needs to make a decision and stand by it.” As of July, the bus fee will be canceled, and the transportation service will continue as is. kbartel@theprogress.com

Budget Blinds CEO Chad Hallock to appear on Undercover Boss CBS’s hit show featuring Chad Hallock set to air April 13 at 8/7c Chilliwack, B.C. April 12, 2012 – Each week, Undercover Boss, CBS’s popular reality TV show, follows a different executive as they leave the comfort of their corner ofÀce to examine the inner workings of their companies in a roll-upyour-sleeves environment. On April 13, Chad Hallock, CEO of Budget Blinds, steps up to the plate in what is sure to be an entertaining and enlightening experience. The episode will feature Chad trading in his suit for a Budget Blinds polo shirt as he works hands on in the window covering manufacturing process and then goes door to door, taking part in customer consultations and product installations. In 1992, Chad co-founded Budget Blinds with his brother and three close friends with no more than a smile on his face and $5000 in his pocket. Today, the company has grown to become the largest window coverings franchise in North America.

The company celebrates its 20th anniversary this year so the timing couldn’t be better to commemorate this achievement by participating in Undercover Boss!
Although Chad began on the front lines, his years behind the desk are sure to make an impact on his performance on the show. “When I was approached with the opportunity, I took it without hesitation,” Chad said. “To be able to work with the franchisees that have made this company a success was something I could not pass up - even though I haven’t taken part in an in-home consultation or installed a blind in quite some time!”
Across the country, Budget Blinds franchisees are notably excited about the national exposure Undercover Boss will bring, and about the valuable experiences Chad will undoubtedly have. “Not only is this a great opportunity to help grow our individual franchises, it’s a great opportunity for the company as
a whole,” said The Bennetts of Budget Blinds Chilliwack. “Being on Undercover Boss will give Chad valuable insight into franchisee day to day operations that he is sure to incorporate into all future communications and initiatives.” Ronald and Karen added. Tune in to CBS on April 13 at 8/7c pm to experience Chad’s journey and to Ànd out why Undercover Boss recently broke viewership records in its time-slot!

Pocket dials from cellphones are being blamed for most of the more than 100,000 bogus 911 calls that took up operators’ time last year, diverting resources from real emergencies in the Lower Mainland. An analysis of call statistics found 10 per cent of more than one million 911 calls received by the E-Comm regional emergency communications centre were dialed by mistake in 2011. E-Comm estimates more than

Down”
70,000 of those calls – or 200 per day – were “pocket dials” in which cellphones in a pocket or purse dialed 911 by mistake. Another 40,000 were abandoned calls where the user hung up. Growing use of smart phones are behind the increase as they now account for 58 per cent of 911 call volume – an all-time high and up 10 per cent in four years. E-Comm is asking the public to cut down on pocket calls by using keylocks, storing cell phones in protective cases and not pre-programming 911 into any phone. If 911 is dialed by mistake, the centre says callers should stay on the line and speak with the call-taker. When callers hang up, staff

Operators who handle the numerous pocket dials must stay on the line and listen for signs that a caller dialed intentionally but is now incapacitated or otherwise in danger. Call takers say they’ve heard it all, from action at rave parties to intimate moments phone users would never want transmitted. “I’ve had a lot of calls from Rogers Arena when the Canucks were playing,” says Corey Kelso, E-Comm 911 call-taker. “I’ve heard pucks drop, I’ve heard the announcements, and I’ve actually heard Richard Loney singing the national anthem.”

Chilliwack Speed Watch volunteers earn recognition In recognition of National Volunteer Week (April 15 to 21), ICBC is thanking the more than 100 volun-
teers in Chilliwack for their continued support in making the community safer for everyone. Throughout
the Lower Mainland, over 2,200 volunteers spent approximately 100,000 hours delivering road safety pro-
grams in 2011. “It’s amazing to see so many British Columbians volunteer their time and come
together to better their own communities,” said Kevin Falcon, Minister of Finance. “National Volunteer

road safety and making British Columbia a safer place to live.” “These volunteers care passionately about the safety of their neighbourhoods,” said Mike Weightman, local ICBC road safety coordinator. “They work tirelessly to help make Chilliwack roads safer for ever yone. Their dedication is remarkable and truly appreciated. On behalf of all our customers and ever yone at ICBC, thank you. You are truly making a difference.” In 2011, Speed Watch program volunteers in Chilliwack contributed over 1,500 hours to help reduce speed-related crashes in their community. With the support of volunteers, speedrelated crashes have steadily decreased in B.C. over the last five years. Volunteers use radar and speedreader boards supplied by ICBC to show drivers how fast they’re actually traveling. Research shows that it works – over 70 per cent of drivers traveling 10km/h over the speed limit slow down when they see a speedreader board. In 2011, Stolen Auto Recovery program volunteers in Chilliwack scanned over 28,000 licence plates to help identify stolen vehicles. Each year, volunteers help recover hundreds of stolen vehicles in B.C. These volunteers also handed out over 100 notices resembling parking tickets onto the windshields of vehicles, many with valuables in sight, offering common sense tips to the owners to protect them from becoming the victim of auto crime. With their support, in Chilliwack, we’ve seen an astounding 72 per cent decrease in vehicle thefts and 65 per cent decrease in vehicle break-ins since 2003. To learn more about how you can get involved and help keep your community safe, contact your local road safety coordinator, Mike Weightman, at 604-702-3837.

We did this for six years and the kids were still quite little but they helped out a lot.

Aaron Millar grew up in his own little piece of paradise. Raised on a 10-acre hobby farm in Columbia Valley, Aaron enjoyed a life close to nature. As a young boy, he delighted in acres of open space with its visual delights and beautiful blue skies. In Ana the summer, the MACEDO air was fresh and sweet while birds sang, the bees hummed and insects crawled lazily along. The forest at the rear of the family property was an endless source of discovery and pleasure both in summer and winter. This unspoiled, natural environment was pure magic and Aaron recalls the time that he spent there with great fondness. While there was plenty of time to enjoy this haven of beautiful landscapes and friendly farm animals, Aaron was quite familiar with the meaning of hard work. “We had horses, chickens, sheep, goats and cows, when I was younger, so there was always someone who needed to be fed,” he said. The family also had countless, beloved pussy cats which is still the case today. Then there was the usual menagerie of wild animals that often stopped by for a visit or just to grab a bit of food. There was the raccoon that walked into the house, the possums that made their home in the barn, one of which he cradled, the endless tom cats that had nowhere else to go, the stray dogs, the squirrels, birds and sometimes wandering horses. Aaron, and his younger sister Christine, spent many a day on horseback which was a collective familial passion. They also enjoyed camping throughout British Columbia; a natural fit given their love of the outdoors. On the Millar farm, there was always something to be done. After the animals were fed, there were other chores. After all, there was plenty of grass to be mowed, firewood to be cut and stacked and a whole host of other duties that come with living in a rural setting. Ever the enterprising family, they established Aaron Millar a market garden. “We

Aside from his cameras, Aaron spends a lot of his time in front of a computer. AutoCAD (software application for computer-aided design) taught me to hate the computer.

Fresh look at Fiddler on the Roof Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s going to be the largest scale production the Chilliwack Players’ Guild has mounted in ages. A cast of 61 players will be presenting Fiddler on the Roof for nine performances April 18-28 on the Chilliwack Cultural Centre main stage. “We’re ready to go,” said director Clint Hames. Fiddler tells the story of Tevye, the father of five daughters, who tries to maintain his orthodox Jewish traditions in face of personal and political upheaval in turn-of-the-century Czarist Russia. “It’s going to be huge, and this is as good a cast as I have ever worked with,” said Hames. The Fiddler on the Roof title stems from a painting depicting Eastern European life, The Fiddler, by Russian surrealist Marc Chagall. It’s a metaphor for cultural survival, and finding a balance and joy in life despite uncertainty. This is the second time round for Hames directing the enduringly musical for the Guild, but there will be some notable differences more than three decades later. “It will be a completely different production because we are working with a full-sized stage at the Cultural Centre. It’s been lovely here.” For anyone who hasn’t taken in a production at the beautiful new arts facility, this is the one to pick, he said. “This production will push the limits of what can be done. Some of the advanced technology that’s been developed in the past 30 years means everything from the lighting, to sound gets an upgrade.” The much-loved production features well-known musical numbers like Tradition, Matchmaker, Sunrise, Sunset F I N E

cians in the show.” Keep in mind Fiddler on the Roof is not just any musical. The original production was the first on Broadway to surpass 3,000 performances — a record that stood for a decade. When the Guild first produced Fiddler in 1981, the show sold out before it opened. At the time, a younger Hames encouraged his then co-worker, Graham Archer, to get involved backstage in the production of Fiddler they were working on.
and If I Were A Rich Man. Some of the players actually came out to rehearse for roles because they love the music so much, the director said. So music is a key part of the production, and the cast has been rehearsing with the 14-piece orchestra for the past few weeks. They will be using the traditional musical arrangements for Fiddler, with instrumentation like the accordion, Hames said. “We’ve got first class musi-

“It was my first foray into the world of theatre and I was hooked,” said Archer. He helped build sets and worked on the stage crew. Now, Hames is directing the much anticipated revival, and Archer is on-stage this time. He plays the central patriarch, Tevye, trying to maintain his traditional way of life. “I am honoured to be playing Tevye,” said Archer. “He is such a sympathetic character, and a father trying to keep true to his religious G R E A T

faith and the traditional ways of his people, all the while keeping an eye on his strongwilled daughters. “It’s such a beautiful story; funny, touching, and inspiring.” • Fiddler on the Roof at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, April 18–21, April 25–28, with a Sunday matinee on April 22, Adults $25 and Seniors/ Students $22.50, go to www. playersguild.ca or 604-391SHOW (7469) for tickets. •

Agassiz holds drop in cancer screening for women
Adopt A River
During the past year, 10,200 women in British Columbia were diagnosed with cancer. As in previous years, breast cancer accounted for almost 30 per cent of these diagnoses, and cervical cancer accounted for a smaller number. Although it is not known why one woman gets cancer and another does not, there are some things each woman can do to reduce her risk of these diseases. The first thing to do is to start living a healthy lifestyle. Equally important is taking charge of your health by ensuring
We can change that reality but it takes your help. Please come out for a couple of hours to help keep our rivers clean. The Adopt-a-River Program is looking for volunteers to clean the banks of the Vedder River.

that you have regular screening tests or have symptoms checked by your doctor. Many symptoms can be caused by problems that are much less serious than cancer. But, if cancer cannot be prevented, treatment is more likely to be successful if it is found early. Rather than waiting for symptoms to become noticeable, women should make it a matter of importance to schedule regular screening tests both for breast cancer and cer vical cancer. To make it convenient for women to have these screening

breast self-exam can’t usually find a cancer until it is as least the size of a pea. The Pap test looks at cervical cells to see if there are precancerous changes or abnormalities that could lead to cer vical cancer. Nearly all cervical cancers are caused by high-risk types of the human papillomavirus (HPV) transmitted though sexual intercourse, genital skin-toskin contact and oral sex. If you are sexually active, you should start having regular Pap tests by the time you’re 21. You’ll need a Pap test every one to three years depending on your previous test results. It is not possible to over estimate the significance of screening tests. A simple mammogram or Pap test can save your life.

he wasn’t getting out enough. Finally, the runner committed to training for a race. If she misses her training, the end result will be poor performance in the race. If you want to be ‘motivated’ in your fitness program, start by setting a goal and making a commitment to it. To be successful with a fitness program, do not rely on motivation to keep on track. Instead, make a commitment to a plan and enlist a friend or coach to stay accountable.

amount to the bank every month, you follow through. You budget your expenses to make sure you are able to make the payment on time each month, regardless if you ‘feel like it’ or not. You made the Tanja commitment SHAW and are accountable to the bank to follow through. Just like a mortgage payment, commit to your fitness goals to keep on track. To ensure success, have a plan to stay accountable to your commitment. In the example of the Boot Campers, dog owner, and runners, each person had made a commitment and are kept accountable. The Boot Campers made a commitment to their training partners and coach, attendance records, fitness tests, and simply being missed by others keeps them accountable. The dog owner committed to give his dog exercise everyday. The dog would surely let his owner know if

When you think about being motivated to exercise, you may think about Boot Camp participants who faithfully arrive for class at 5:30 am, no matter if they are a morning person or not, the person taking his dog out for a walk in the pouring rain, or the runner out on the trail for three hours on a Sunday morning in preparation for an upcoming marathon. When it comes to exercise, many people struggle to stay motivated. “How can I get motivated?� is one of the most common questions I get asked. One problem with staying motivated is our definition of it. We tend to think of motivation as a feeling. Motivation is not a feeling; it is the result of a commitment. Once you make a commitment, you have made a contract with yourself, or someone else, to follow through, regardless if you ‘feel like it’. Frankly, if everyone only exercised when they ‘felt like it’ few would ever get around to their daily sweat sessions. Consider a mortgage payment. Once you purchase your house and sign a contract to pay a certain

Looking forward to strawberries It’s hard to imagine a June garden without the mouth-watering flavour of strawberries, and the good news is, planted now, both the ‘everbearing’ and ‘day neutral’ varieties will Brian produce MINTER fruit this year. For serious strawberry growers, however, the ‘June bearing’ varieties still produce high volumes of very large flavourful fruit. Traditionally, main season strawberry varieties, planted now, will develop into good sized plants over the summer and fall, then produce great crops next year. You will get a few fruits the first year, but they’re just a tease for the next season. The flower buds of June berries are initiated in the shorter days of autumn, then produce good crops the following June. Some of the great ‘June bearing’ varieties for our area are: Hood: This variety has very large dark red cone-shaped berries on upright vigorous plants. It has great flavour and is terrific fresh and for jams. Rainier: The good sized berries of this variety maintain their size all through the season and have great flavour. Sumas: This very heavy yielding variety has lighter red berries and very good flavour. Totem: This very hardy variety, developed at the Canada Research Station in Agassiz, is still a favourite for productivity and good sized fruit. Stolo: Newer variety with large, firm, glossy fruits which keep their size throughout the season Puget Reliance: The beauty of this variety is its generous crops of very large fruits and its reliability to produce in a wide range of growing conditions. Chandler: A huge California variety with outstanding flavour, it does very well on the West Coast. While many strawberry plants can
produce only one harvest in spring, ‘Everbearing’ varieties have the unique ability to produce two and sometimes three harvests each year while the days are long. Another distinct advantage of the ‘everbearing’ types is that they can flower and produce fruit and runners all at the same time. The runners will produce fruit even without rooting, and this unique ability makes them ideal for growing in containers, hanging baskets and other unusual garden situations. They will also provide good quality fruit the first year. Some of the top ‘everbearing’ varieties are: Fort Laramie: This variety is noted for its vast runner production and is often sold as a ‘climbing’ variety. It has good sized, very flavourful fruit. Quinault: Still one of the best ‘everbearing’ varieties, it has good sized, very flavourful fruit. For the best results, all strawberries need a sunny location and good drainage. Growing them in raised beds or hilled rows creates not only good drainage but also warmer soil. They love moisture, but it must drain away quickly to prevent root rot. Although slightly acid-loving, working well rotted manures into the soil

will help get strawberry plants off to a good start. When setting out the plants, it is very important to plant them to a depth that just covers the roots but not the stem. Planting strawberries too shallow or too deep can cause them to dry out or to rot. A good liquid starter, like Transplanter 5-15-5, used as a side dressing, will help get them off to a good start. Once flowers set, use a fertilizer like 10-15-19 with micronutrients to really size up the berries. If we get a dry spell during the ripening stage, and this applies to the ‘everbearing’ and the ‘day-neutrals’, make sure you water thoroughly and deeply to keep the plants growing and to maintain their sweetness. Strawberries taste great, and they also
do lots of other terrific things for us. The Salk Institute for Biological Studies in their research on strawberries, discovered that a strawberry flavonoid, called fisetin, can stimulate signaling pathways in the brain, thus enhancing long term memory. Strawberries also lower systolic blood pressure and can reduce the risk of heart disease. This berry is also high in folate that can help lower the risk factors in heart disease. Strawberries are also loaded with vitamins C and K, contain calcium, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium and are an excellent source of antioxidants. April is a great time to begin planting, so find a spot in your garden and enjoy some wonderful flavour this year and for years to come.

Thursday, April 19, 2012 6 pm - 9 pm Duke’s Pub As many of you are aware, our friend Harry Newlove has been fighting a terrible disease called Multiple System Atrophy over the last few years. As of now this disease has no treatment or cure. We would like to help change that. The proceeds of our evening will be forwarded to the Canadian Parkinson’s Research Centre, on behalf of the Newlove Family. Harry has done so much for all of us over the years, it only seems fitting we try, in some small way, to show the appreciation we feel. I hope you will be able to join us on April 19th at Duke’s Pub for a night of good food, good friends and a great cause. Tickets are $15 per person and include a buffet dinner. There will also be a silent auction, including a trip for 2 to Palm Springs with 2 days golfing at a PGA course, as well as a 50/50 draw. Tickets are available at Royal LePage, 8-8337 Young Rd., or you can contact me at 604-792-0077 for further info.

Progress Eric
Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com
GW Graham football staff focusing on concussions Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Doctor Josh Greggain loves his football. He’s a big fan of the NFL. He married a Seattle girl, with Seahawk fandom a part of the package The last three years he’s coached with Chilliwack Minor Football. Greggain loves a good hit just as much as the next guy and a smile crosses his face when he recalls Marshawn Lynch going beast-mode on the New Orleans Saints in the 2011 NFL playoffs. The fan side of him loves that stuff. The doctor side, not so much. That side knows the price players pay for making those hits — how the impact of a helmet on helmet blow can rival the impact of a car accident. Guys like Lynch are well compensated, and increasingly well aware, of the risks they take. Come September, Greggain will be on the sideline as a bunch of Grade 8 and 9 boys play their first football for GW Graham. They are not well compensated and they all think they’re invincible. They do have one thing in common with the pros. They have a small army of medical professionals looking out for them. Greggain is one. Doctors Jenn Turner and Michael Gaetz are the others. It will be their job to keep the boys healthy, with a particular emphasis on concussion diagnosis, assessment and treatment. “Concussions have become a huge priority for sports in general over the last five years,

with athletes like Eric Lindros and Sidney Crosby making a huge impact on awareness,” Greggain said. A big part of the concussion strategy will be a tie in with the University of the Fraser Valley. Gaetz is a professor of kinesiology and physical education at UFV, and has spent many years studying concussions. Gaetz made concussions the subject of a doctoral thesis at Simon Fraser University, focusing on junior hockey players. With the UFV campus relocating to the Garrison Crossing area in the near future, Gaetz will be making his concussion lab avail-
able to GWG. The lab can assess neuropsychological, neur ophysiological, physiological and cognitive function, as well as balance. Greggain, a family and emergency room physician at Hope’s Fraser Canyon Hospital, said the lab offers the type of testing that is usually unique to big money professional teams. “With the lab, we can get more than just information about how the kid is feeling, which is completely subjective,” Greggain said. “I can give an opinion based on subjective information. But if Michael can test an athletes and say, ‘He scored this in the preseason, and now he
scores this and his balance is off,’ that tells me that athlete is not ready to play.” Concussions can be easy to spot. A wide receiver takes big hit from safety coming across the middle, and you can safely assume some damage was done. “In a case like that, the players will be evaluated on the sideline by myself, Jenn or one of the athletic trainers,” Greggain explained. “We’ve got a series of standardized questions and a brief physical examination that will identify a concussion. Once they’re evaluated, they are followed up. Because we’ll have the luxury of UFV’s baseline testing, we’ll know

where they were in the preseason. Once they’re back where they should be, only then will they be cleared to play.” Obvious concussions are obvious, but studies have shown it’s not just the big hits that cause problems. It’s the cumulative effects of play after play — an offensive lineman will fire into a defensive lineman X amounts of time per game, generating force with each collision. “This is stuff that, not only do I not know the answer to but I don’t know that anyone in sports does yet,” Greggain noted. “Inviting UFV into the conversation and doing the testing helps a lot. We will have tangible
testing that tells us the cumulative effects of all these ‘mild’ injuries. If this program can help us now, while also helping athletes and teams in the future, hopefully we follow these kids for four or five seasons and get a lot more info about concussions.” Where five years ago a player might have taken a hit and written off the resulting dizziness and headaches as ‘having his bell rung,’ Greggain feels sports are finally moving out of the dark ages. “Going back 25 years ago, some of the guys I coach with talk about their high school experiences, where they were so concussed on a Monday morning at school that they couldn’t
even carry their own textbooks,” he said. “At that time, no one knew and no one thought twice about it. Are we out of the dark ages? I’ll call this the renaissance.” Greggain will be on the sideline as often as possible this fall, and he’ll enjoy the return of high school football to Chilliwack for the first time since the late 1970s. But he’ll do so with a purpose. “I love the game for the intensity of it, for a bunch of reasons,” he said. “The kids choose to play football, so it’s our job to make sure they play in the safest environment possible.” Contact Greggain at jgreggain@gmail.com.

Chilliwack’s Shalynn Holdsworth fought Jenna Luis (Port Coquitlam’s Beyond Boxing) at the Clash at the Cascades 16 Boxing Show, held Apr. 6 at the Langley Casino. Under Combsports rules, the fight had to be held as an exhibition due to the age and size disparity between the two boxers. Holdsworth, 13-years-old, weighed in at 112 pounds. Luis, 16-years-old, weighed in at 122 pounds. Holdsworth made short work over her older opponent, badly out-pointing Ruis to take a unanimous decision. The fight could
have been stopped earlier, with Holdsworth landing several unanswered combos, but the official let it go the distance. It was the second win for Holdsworth in less than a month, and she’s now looking at a possible bout at the Junior Olympic Tournament, which takes place May 5 in Seattle. The tournament uses Olympic-style boxing rules and is designed to help develop future Olympic hopefuls. Another local boxer, Darcie Kaye, fought for the Combsports Regional Belt. The 27-year-old has developed at a meteoric pace, becoming one
of the top five female amateurs in B.C. in just one year. Kaye stopped her last two opponents with second round TKOs, taking the Pacific Northwest Championship with her last victory. That earned her the Combsports title shot against veteran Alisah McPhee (Langley Boxing). The newcomer put up a furious fight, but lost to the fouryear veteran as McPhee took the decision. Both boxers train at Chilliwack’s Revolution Martial Arts and Fitness (#102-8030 Enterprise Drive).

Rigid regimen for Chiefs The taper week is important to allow them to recover from the grind, writes Paul Nicolls The Chilliwack Chiefs are done for the season, but the off-season is no time to rest for the junior A players. In his first bi-weekly column, Chiefs assistant coach and Xceed Training owner/operator Paul Nicolls talks about what the players should be doing this summer. The program the players get is broken up into three four-week phases that must be done in sequence for maximum effectiveness. Each four week phase has three training weeks followed by one taper (recovery) week. Each week consists of five training days. Monday and Friday focus on lower body lifts. Tuesday and Thursday focus on upper body lifts and Wednesday is for aerobic training (usually a four to five kilometre run). The taper week is important to allow them to recover from the grind and be ready for the next phase. Here are 10 key points to follow for any effective training program. Movement prep is designed to increase range of motion and activate the nervous system. The exercises are designed to increase flexibility while moving, just as you would in a game like situation.

Dynamic warm-up is a continuation of movement prep in the sense that we are trying to activate the nervous system to allow the muscles to fire as fast as possible and in the proper sequence. Where movement prep is slow and controlled, dynamic movements are performed much faster. Dynamic range of motion (ROM) is designed to actively increase the range of motion around the hip and shoulder joints. Super-sets simply means performing two exercises together without a rest in between. For example, I might perform a bench press and then go straight to the seated row with only the amount of rest that it takes me to switch exercises. I would then rest for 60 to 90 seconds and go on to my next set. Agility drills increase the ability to change direction under control with explosiveness and quickness. Sprint training is very important, as your fastest skaters are almost always your fastest sprinters. Plyometrics develop explosive power in the legs. Our team’s program consists of vertical, lateral and horizontal plyometrics. They will also perform static plyometrics, which is a contradiction in terms but serve a great purpose. The goal with static plyometrics is to increase your ability to stop under control. If you cannot stop under control you will not be able to effectively change directions. Aerobic training aids in recovery for the shorter and more intense speed training to come later. It aids in recovery between shifts and games and helps players get through the long season. Anaerobic training allows the body to buffer lactate, therefore allowing the athlete to work at a higher intensity for longer periods of time. This also allows for recover-and-repeat high-intensity bursts. Flexibility should always to be performed at the end of the training sessions. Choose appropriate stretches for the day and hold each stretch for one minute. If you choose to stretch prior to training it should be done after your general warm-up and before your dynamic warm-up.

✞ Obituaries
Linda was born October 9, 1942 in Chilliwack, and was a granddaughter of two pioneer families, Mr. LONGRIDGE and Mrs. Wes McIntyre and Dr. and Mrs. L.A. Patten. She died April 4, 2012 in Seattle after a courageous fight with cancer. She is survived by her sisters Anne and Joan, her husband of 46 years, Chris, and sons David and Mark and their families. After graduating from the University of British Columbia she became a stewardess with United Air Lines, and was based in Denver and Seattle. She also worked on the ground for Air Canada and Cathay Pacific. Chris’ work with Boeing took the family to live in London for eight years where they formed many enduring friendships. After returning to Seattle in 1983, Linda and Chris travelled around the world in connection with his job, making several friends. She particularly enjoyed being “Granny” to her six grandchildren. She also loved her cats, the boats “Martini” and “Flying Colors,” doing needlepoint, solving crosswords, and shopping for bargains, often for others. She was well known for her generosity and kindness, and had a wonderful sense of humor. Her courage and strength throughout her life were an inspiration to all who knew her.
OTTOSON Oscar Emanuel
Dec. 23, 1914-Mar. 27, 2012 Oscar was taken into our lord’s arms early in the morning after a lengthy courageous fight OTTOSON with COPD and lung cancer. Oscar was predeceased by his beautiful wife Ruth in 2003, and their daughter Esther in 2002. Surviving are his 3 children, Wayne (Elaine), Joyce (Harold), Ernest (Pauline), many grandchildren, great-grandchildren spanning 5 generations, many nephews, nieces and cousins in Canada, USA, Norway and Australia. He will also be greatly missed by a very close friend (of two and one-half years), Alice, and many good friends. Oscar was a farm boy when he met Ruth. They married in 1938. They found that they could not make money farming so he headed for the mines in Flin Flon, Manitoba. There he made a home for his family. He and mom raised their four children there and then years later, (1956) moved to Edmonton. There again, dad was
enticed by the mine work. He and mom moved to Uranium City, Sask. where they lived until their retirement. They moved to Chilliwack, BC. in 1980. Dad and mom both loved growing trees and traveling until mom’s passing in 2003. Oscar was a very talented man, loving his family first and music second. He was an accomplished accordionist, piano player and guitar picker. Actually he could play anything but a wind instrument. We can see him up in heaven with mom, playing the piano or his accordion and mom correcting him when he hits the wrong notes. Oscar played for many years in the bands on weekends to bring in the extras for his family. Times were lean years ago and he did his utmost to see that we kids did get our music lessons and schooling that he could not complete. Years ago the boys had to work on the farm but in his spare time which was little he would practice and practice the keyboard until he was perfect. It was a real pleasure to sit and listen to his music. He also loved fishing and once in a while camping. But he most loved the kids coming home. He and mom would spend two or three days making lefsa so they could spoil the kids with the specialty they were famous for. Mom would bake up a storm, and the way to dad’s heart was through his tummy. Dad made all our Lefsa Rolling pins on his wood lathe. Our deepest Thank You wishes go out to Dr. David Fitzpatrick and his wonderful office manager, Fran, who never kept us waiting when dad needed care. A very special thanks to Dr. Paul Graham, Dr. Bakker and all the nursing staff and care aides on 4S at Chilliwack General Hospital for their wonderful compassionate care for our father. Also special Thank You wishes to the Waverly Srs. Village Residential Care for all who cared for dad while he was a resident with them. In lieu of flowers, a donation to your favourite charity would be appreciated. By special request from our father, there will be no service at this time. A gravesidc service will be held for both mom and dad at their family plot on their 74th wedding anniversary on June 20, 2012 at Naicum, Saskatchewan. Dad, we know that you are with mom, we will miss your great stories. You were the greatest dad ever. We already miss your phone calls that were part of our everyday schedule. Love you dad.
