Family Day hurts economy, MLAs say
■ S PRING I N T HE A IR ?
Local Chamber reaction, page 3 Tom Fletcher Black Press Premier Christy Clark is pushing ahead with plans for a new Family Day holiday in February, after independent MLAs voted against the move. NDP MLAs supported B.C. Liberal members in the key vote to approve the new statutory holiday Tuesday. The first one will be next Feb. 11, and the second Monday in February each year after that. Independent MLAs criticized the move and forced a standing vote, after listing the costs it would impose on business. Delta South MLA Vicki Huntington reminded the legislature the new holiday is imposed on business after three increases in the minimum wage in the past year, an average $3,000 transition to the harmonized sales tax and soon a similar cost to switch back to the provincial sales tax next year. Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen was the first independent to speak out against Family Day, backed by John Cummins, leader of the B.C. Conservative Party that van Dongen has joined. “Adding a new statutory holiday is a feelgood idea that is strictly politically motivated,” van Dongen said.

Mayor challenges decision on rehab closure Robert Freeman The Progress Chilliwack doctors were not consulted by Fraser Health Authority officials before the decision was made to close the rehabilitation unit at Chilliwack General Hospital. And Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz said she was unable to persuade FHA officials Monday to hold off closing the unit until community consultations could take place. The closure may also put additional strain on the FHA’s relationship with the Fraser Valley Regional Hospital District board, which is already sitting on a $1.2 million
request by the health authority for hospital equipment funding. Chilliwack MLA John Les is also unhappy about the FHA’s decision. “It seems odd to me that a new (rehab) program announced a few years ago is now deemed not to be the right model,” he said. “If there’s something better, it had better be better for the patient because that’s the ruler I’m using.” “I will be discussing this further with the FHA CEO (Dr. Nigel Murray) in the next couple of weeks,” he said. Valerie Spurrell, the FHA’s executive director of rehabilitation programs, agreed the decision to close
$1.25 1-12T CS17
the hospital’s rehab unit in favour of outpatient services would cut costs, “but we wouldn’t do it if it didn’t give patients the right services.” She described the outpatient service as an “addition” to rehab options, rather than a cut, which will result in better health outcomes. The 20-bed unit at the Chilliwack hospital was billed as a “seamless” transition from hospital to home when it opened in 2006. Hospital medical staff were not available for comment Wednesday, but Dr. Ralph Jones said Chilliwack doctors were not asked for any input into the FHA decision, which has “lots of implications for other
(hospital) departments like surger y, geriatrics, medicine and emergency.” He said many of the patients are the frail elderly, who often have only elderly spouses looking after them at home, and no easy way to access the outpatient service. “I cannot see my patients ... being able to come in to the (outpatient) clinic on a daily basis,” he said. In England, he added, there is a well-organized system for transporting elderly outpatients from home to hospital services — but that’s not the case in Chilliwack. Continued: REHAB/ p12

Family Day ‘a good thing,’ but comes with a cost: Chamber Robert Freeman The Progress The new Family Day holiday in B.C. has a warm and fuzzy appeal, but it’s going to add a “considerable” amount to the cost of doing business, says the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce. “We can all appreciate the R&R that an extra day off gives us,” said Patti MacAhonic, executive director of the Chilliwack chamber. But the statutory holiday is another day that employers must pay an employee for no work, she
said. Premier Christy Clark announced the new statutory holiday, which will fall on the second Monday of February starting next year. Abbotsford South MLA John van Dongen, who left the BC Liberal caucus to join the BC Conservatives, said the new holiday “will not create a single new job” and will cost the B.C. business community an estimated $62 million. “Although an extra day off would be nice to have, it comes at a cost,” he said. “I think the cost is too high for the taxpayer.”
The Chilliwack chamber is urging employers to consult with employees to find “workable solutions” to mitigate the cost of the new holiday, like using a vacation day to cover recognized but nonstatutory holidays like Boxing Day and Easter Monday. The direct cost of Family Day for each employee earning $50,000 a year is going to be about $211, MacAhonic said, and for those employees required to work on a statutory holiday, the cost is going to be even higher. “Under the B.C. Employment
Standards Act those employees must receive not only regular statutory holiday pay, but 1.5 times their regular rate for all hours worked on the statutory holiday, with few exemptions,” she said. Like any other cost, it’s also one that eventually gets passed on to the consumer, and with the addition of Family Day, B.C. becomes the first province with 10 legallymandated statutory holidays. “If Boxing Day continues to be voluntarily recognized by employers as a statutory holiday, B.C. employees will have 11 statutory
Students get tough lesson on luck Katie Bartel The Progress Grade 12 students at G.W. Graham secondary got a fresh reminder not to drink and drive going into grad season. By way of a wheelchair. On Thursday afternoon, Kevin Brooks told the 2012 grad class his story. By all accounts, this guy looked to be a pretty hip guy. He was sporting a manicured blonde Mohawk, fingerless black gloves, and skater shoes. He spoke the lingo, had the hand gestures, fit the high school ‘cool’ checklist. But instead of punk rock stickers on his once beloved skateboard, they’re now featured on the back of his wheelchair. All because of “the reckless, stupid choices I used to make years ago,” he said. Twelve years ago, on June 24, 2000 – the day after his younger sister’s graduation – Brooks, then 21, got behind the wheel of his car. He had been drinking for hours. Despite not being that far from home, despite his parents offering to pick him up if needed, despite his friends telling him it was stupid to drive, and that he should hop in a cab with them, Brooks was having none of it. “Looking back, I wish I had,” he said. “Because if I had, I wouldn’t be sitting in this wheelchair right now.” On a street he drove every day, felt he knew like the back of his hand, he accelerated to 140 km in a 70 zone. Luck was not on his side. Instead of winding around a slight curve in the road, Brooks shot straight through it. His car flew over

the divider and cleared the other side of the road. When it landed in the grassy area, it flipped – front over back, front over back. Brooks doesn’t remember the accident. He was found dangling upside down in the vehicle, barely clinging to life. It took more than an hour for the Jaws of Life to free him. He had a dislocated left shoulder, separated right shoulder, fractured vertebrae, collapsed lung, minor head injury, his lip was split right through, his arms shredded, and his body, so bruised, had swelled to double its size. “It’s a miracle I’m alive,” Brooks said. When he woke up in the hospital, tubes attached to nearly every part of him, he didn’t understand why he couldn’t feel his legs. “Kev, I’m really sorry,

you’re paralyzed,” his mom told him. He still didn’t understand. He tried to wiggle his toes, thought that would be simpler, surely he – a hockey player, skateboarder, snowboarder, mountain climber, cliff jumper – could wiggle his toes. He couldn’t. “I started to panic,” he said. “I was freaking out, but beside me my mom was crying, and so I tried to keep it inside, tried to be tough. But inside, I was devastated.” Still, that wasn’t the worst of it. Brooks started asking if there was anyone in the car with him. He went through every friend he could think of, and his mom kept shaking her head. When he’d gone through the list, a flood of relief filled him. “Thank God, it was just me,” he said.
“No Kev,” his mom told him, “there was someone else with you.” Brendon Beuk, a childhood buddy, had hopped into the car with him. He didn’t survive. “All I could think was what have I done to these people; I’ve ruined their lives,” said Brooks. “I can’t even tell you the word that describes that feeling, but I can tell you, I never want you to experience that. I wish that on none of you.” Brooks didn’t want pity from the grad class, but he did hope they heard his message. “I learned the hard way luck doesn’t last forever,” he said. “One night my luck ran out. I’m paralyzed from the chest down – there’s no fix, no cure. “You can’t go back.” kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

holidays, more than is either legally mandated or implemented in the other provinces,” MacAhonic said. Previously, all Canadian provinces had nine legally-mandated statutory holidays and most employers voluntarily recognized one more for a total of 10. MacAhonic said the Chilliwack chamber is not opposed to Family Day, but does want to point out it comes with a cost. “I think most people agree (Family Day) is a good thing,” she said, “but it does have a cost.” rfreeman@theprogress.com
■ R EPORTER ’ S N OTEBOOK :
The call in the night I’ve received that phone call. It was a Sunday morning, 10 to 6, and my cell phone was incessantly ringing across the room. I tried to roll over; tried to drown out the noise with a pillow on my head; who would be calling me at such a senseless hour; I did not want to pick up that phone. Maybe something inside me knew it couldn’t be good. When I finally answered the call, it was my big brother on the other line. His voice was shaky, but he did his best to stay calm. “[Our brother’s] been airlifted to Royal Columbian Hospital,” he said. “You’re the closest. You have to go now. We’ll be there as soon as we can.” I’ll never forget those words. It was seven years ago this month that I found out my oldest brother, who I’ve Katie looked up to my whole life, had been in a serious car accident – not even two minBARTEL utes away from his house. He had been drinking and driving. I was the first to arrive at the hospital. After giving the ER clerk my brother’s pertinent information, I was placed in a “family room” to await the doctor on duty to fill me in. I had no idea what to expect, I didn’t know how bad it was, I didn’t know if I’d ever see that teasing twinkle in his eyes again, If I’d ever be able to hug him, confide in him, or hear him call me ‘Kate’ again. I tried to hold it together. I knew I had to be strong. But when I overheard a paramedic across the way say to his pals, “If you ever need a reason not to drink and drive, go look at that guy in trauma one – his face is messed up!” I lost it. When I was finally taken in to see my brother, I was lectured by the doctor that I had to put on a happy face. I could not cry, and I could not have fear in my eyes. Because if he saw that, he might give up – he might not make it. I remember the tubes and the beeping of the machines. I remember how pale my brother’s skin looked against the black stubble on his face. I remember how diminished he looked in that hospital bed. I remember the nurse asking him if he knew who I was. I remember seeing him nod. And I remember the moment he turned his head to look at me, his eyes wide, scared. “Kate, I’m sorry,” he said. My brother did not die. He was not paralyzed. But he did lose his spleen, and will likely have his short term memory compromised forever. It wasn’t the first time he had drove drunk, but it was the last. Listening to Kevin Brooks story at G.W. Graham last week brought those heart-wrenching, tear-inducing, fearridden memories back. It doesn’t matter how old you are, how experienced you are, you are not invincible. Luck does run out. Brooks is proof. My brother is proof.

5-09F CF1
Katie Bartel The Progress For today’s workforce, most can expect to have at least two careers in their lifetime. But creative guru Ken Smith is not of this generation of workers. For 50 years – 36 straight through – Smith has been an employee of the Chilliwack Progress. Until this week. Yesterday, May 30, Smith took his final bow at The Progress headquarters, now setting his eyes on peaceful retirement. While his career may seem long, maybe even a little mundane for today’s workers, Smith doesn’t see it that way at all. “It’s been a different job every five years,” he said. “It’s been non-stop learning.” Smith started at the newspaper in 1962 when he was just 10 years old, delivering the latest headlines to his nearby neighbours. The paper route lasted three years, after which he was moved into the office doing odd jobs that included cleaning the presses, cutting, stapling, wrapping papers, pouring hot lead at 5 a.m. in preparation for the letters

ing. The newspaper’s shop foreman headhunted Smith for an apprenticeship position as a printer. Despite more than 50 applicants vying for the job, the foreman felt Smith would be the perfect fit. Smith thought so too. “The industry fascinated me,” he said. “The mechanics of it, the smell of the print shop, the smell of the ink, the smell of the presses, the smell of the dark

But at 16, Smith took a hiatus from The Progress. He finished school, worked for the family sporting goods business, got married. And then in 1976, at a time when he was weighing his future career options between becoming an accountant or surveyor, The Progress came knock-

Ride for the Fallen returns to Chilliwack Katie Bartel The Progress Warning: that earpiercing rumble and vibration expected to occur next week is not an earthquake. It’s hundreds of motorcyclists paying respects to B.C. soldiers who have lost their lives. On June 9, the thirdannual Memorial Ride for the Fallen will once again end at the All Sappers Memorial Cenotaph on Keith Wilson Road. The ride, organized by the 3rd Canadian Army Veterans (CAV) Ubique Unit, is a way of honouring and paying respect to B.C. soldiers who have lost their lives (eight to date) and to show their families that their children, their siblings, their nieces and nephews will never be forgotten. Hundreds of riders from all over B.C. will gather in Vancouver and ride their bikes down Highway 1, a portion of which was renamed

Highway of Heroes last year, all the way to the Lickman Road exit where they will then proceed to the All Sappers Memorial Park. A memorial service will be held at the cenotaph to remember soldiers from B.C. who lost their lives fighting in Afghanistan. Eight silver cross families will be in attendance. “We’re hoping to raise $15,000 this year,” said vice president Barry Drews. All proceeds raised go to the Honour House Society.
The Honour House Society is a non-profit organization, located in New Westminster, that provides free, temporary accommodations for families of injured soldiers and first responders who are receiving care in the Metro Vancouver area. It’s a cause everyone should get behind, said Drews. This ride is for the moms and dads, husbands and wives, and other family members who’ve lost loved ones serving the country. Continued: RIDE/ p16

The $4.1-billion pipeline expansion would now increase capacity from the current 300,000 barrels per day to 750,000 – down from a previous estimate of 850,000. About 400,000 to 450,000 barrels per day, much of it diluted heavy crude from Alberta’s oil sands, would be allocated for export via tanker, according to Kinder

Animal disease secrecy questioned Tom Fletcher Black Press When discover y of mad cow disease prompted 30 countries to ban imports of Canadian beef in 2003, former Alberta Premier Ralph Klein famously suggested the rancher who found an infected animal should have “shot, shovelled and shut up” rather than report the case to authorities. The risk of farmers protecting their operations by hiding sick animals is behind strict new regulations on the handling of animal disease reports, B.C. agriculture officials say. Agriculture Minister Don McRae introduced a new Animal Health Act amid a flood of other legislation this month. Debate has focused on measures to exempt animal disease reports from freedom of information legislation, and to impose steep fines and jail time on officials who release information on disease reports without autho-

rization. McRae said in an interview he has been assured by the provincial veterinarian and ministry staff that the restrictions are an important part of getting voluntar y reports from farmers. Journalists, members of environmental watchdog organizations, or the effected farmers themselves can speak publicly about out-
breaks without fear of penalties, he said. NDP critics are questioning exempting animal disease reports from freedom of information law, citing objections from B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham. McRae noted that a 2010 requirement for salmon farms to release regular disease inspection reports prompted
the operators to stop providing samples voluntarily. (Regulation of fish farms has since been taken over by the federal government.) “We need to make sure we have as much information as possible from farms from Fort St. John to Vancouver Island,” McRae said. “Without data, the Animal Health Act is going to be ineffective.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham said freedom of information law should apply, and the legislation goes too far in protecting the business interests of the industry. She noted that restaurants are regularly inspected for cleanliness and the reports are made public routinely, despite the effect on the reputation of a business. Debate on the new legislation is to continue next week, but Popham said the legislature is so jammed with bills that it is unlikely the Animal Health Act will receive the scrutiny it deserves before it is made law.
Mayor Sharon Gaetz, along with Allan Mugford, Fraser Valley Regional Director (right), and Stewart Grafton, Chilliwack Unit President, were joined by several Canadian Cancer Society staff & many volunteers to celebrate the opening of the new Canadian Cancer Society office at 9240 Young Road.

The company aims to begin construction in 2016 and open the new line in 2017. Trans Mountain’s right-of-way runs from northern Alberta southwest through B.C. and runs through the Lower Mainland, passing through Chilliwack and northern stretches of Abbotsford, Langley and Surrey before crossing the Fraser River and passing through Coquitlam and Burnaby. The plan is opposed by city councils in Burnaby and Vancouver, as well as various environmental groups. The Trans Mountain project is in addition to Enbridge’s proposed $5.5-billion Northern Gateway pipeline, which would carry oil on an all-new route across northern B.C. to Kitimat and then overseas via tanker.

Cost versus care The consolidation of medical services seems a logical progression of a regionalized health care system. Rather than individual hospitals offering a full complement of programs, different services are concentrated at different locations. The result is a bigger bang for the buck; A few strong departments, rather than several weak ones. At least that’s how it looks on paper. The reality will be played out at Chilliwack General Hospital after the Fraser Health Authority decided last week to close CGH’s six-year-old rehab clinic. Instead of offering in-hospital care, the unit will provide out-patient resources. Those patients requiring in-hosptial support will be transferred to hospitals in Port Moody, Surrey or Abbotsford. According to the FHA, the change is being done because of successful results elsewhere. Not only do patients recover faster, the health authority argues, but the out-patient model allows the program to treat more people. More than a few in Chilliwack are a little skeptical. The reality is that health care eats up roughly 40 per cent of every dollar spent by the Province of B.C. Lowering that number has been the pursuit of hospitals and health authorities for decades. And one of the best ways to reduce costs is to reduce the length of hospital stays. Granted, most people would choose home over hospital as a place to recover. However that scenario only works if there are sufficient resources in the community to provide that care. And there’s the rub. Without that, the responsibility for caring for patients who were previously recovering in hospital falls to the family, who may be unable or incapable of providing that support. It would be unfair to suggest decisions prompting the rehab unit’s closure were based purely on economics. However, when dollars become tight, as they have been for years, finding cost efficiencies have become a necessary part of health care delivery. They are an integral part of an evaluation process that tries to balance patient care with available resources. The challenge is ensuring money does not become the overriding factor.

Scenes from the trenches on B.C.’s farms VICTORIA – With ongoing pipeline and oil tanker skirmishes, and a hot summer for mining and logging still to come, the green war in B.C. shows no signs of slowing down. Things are already hot in the Fraser Valley, where the federal government’s change to the definition of fish habitat has opened a new front on the farms. Farmers briefly got into the public discussion by hauling a couple of cute calves into downtown Vancouver and staging a television-friendly demo in front of the federal fisheries office. They have been saying for decades that imposing salmon stream regulations on drainage ditches around their fields is impractical. Fraser Valley Conservative MPs Randy Kamp and Mark Strahl even had the nerve to meet with local mayors to hear their concerns about B.C.’s most productive farm-

land, without inviting self-appointed “activists.” Arrayed against them is an environmental lobby whose deep green wing was defined by Marvin Rosenau, a former provincial biologist who now teaches “fish, wildlife and recreation technology” at BCIT. “Mark Strahl is leading the charge of eco-fascists intent Tom on making the last FLETCHER dime off the backs of the last remnants of an absolutely spectacular ecosystem,” Rosenau told the Chilliwack Progress. “A massive and productive floodplain of fish and aquatic values … has been drained, ditched, tiled and laser-leveled for agricultural profit.” The same could be said for the
broad fields of Richmond and Pitt Polder farms north of the Fraser, a wetland diked and drained by Dutch settlers after World War II. Farms are “industrializing the landscape,” said Rosenau, who stopped short of calling for them all to be shut down. At the provincial level we have a new Animal Health Act, which threatens heavy fines or even jail time for prematurely leaking reports of serious animal disease outbreaks. This was also portrayed as a jack-booted sellout of the public’s right to know, putting the business interests of land and ocean farms ahead of public safety. Here’s what’s really happening. As is generally the case with meat inspection and livestock issues, the federal government is imposing rules on provinces in the wake of avian flu and “mad cow” outbreaks. Canadian beef was banned in 30 countries after a single infected
cow was identified in Alberta in 2003. B.C. Agriculture Minister Don McRae assures me this legislation will not result in reporters or environmental activists being thrown in jail for telling the public about sick animals. They and the farmers themselves can say all they want, once infections are confirmed and quarantines established. McRae and Paul Kitching, B.C.’s chief veterinarian, pleaded for the public to understand that any farm reporting system must rely on voluntary compliance by farmers. When the B.C. government took the advice of B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham and began releasing fish farm inspection data in 2010, the operators stopped providing samples voluntarily. The fish farmers’ position was that you can have a co-operative system of farm inspections or one that’s imposed,

but not both. Imposing inspections on land farms across B.C.’s vast area is even less practical. Former Alberta premier Ralph Klein famously observed that the next rancher to find a possible mad cow should have “shot, shoveled and shut up” rather than file a report and devastate the industry. Denham, the NDP and others appear to operate under an assumption that there should be sufficient government resources to sample and inspect every farm across B.C. for reportable contagious illnesses. This is similar to the fashionable notion that we should have enough park rangers to guard every cedar tree.

Thermage® Q & A
The Chilliwack
Progress
QUESTION: I have heard there is a non-surgical neck and facelift called Thermage® – is it safe and does it work?
Traffic cameras step toward police state I am grateful for The Progress’ discussion of the use of traffic cameras to police our driving. Mr. Garrard’s repeat of the call for photo speed cameras on our roadways is a well meaning, but misguided request for our government to further intrude on my private affairs. I obey the law, and I resent the notion that I have to be regulated and spied on to comply with common sense actions. Texting while driving, driving faster than posted limits, and political favours are all taboos that written regulations do not seem to be controlling. Do not further take away my personal freedom and privacy to try to con-
trol the actions of those who will never learn. There is already too much surveillance and intrusion on my private life. My computer, my cell phone, my iPad, my car, my Smart Meter, and even my household appliances all contain the components to record and broadcast my personal information without my knowledge or my consent. I have heard that local police use long range spy equipment to peer into vehicles to determine if drivers are using illegal hand held devices while driving. Do we really condone these invasions of our privacy? Lawfully enforcing the laws gives society the high moral ground.
Warrants that describe the probable criminal nature of a person’s action ensure that police do not act in a random manner. Transparent procedures of investigation allow public scrutiny to provide critical checks and balances for those with the power of government. I say John Les’ move to rid BC of the photo radar program was an excellent move towards protecting citizens’ privacy. I do not want to see us return to a police state, hightech, 21st century, photo surveillance system to ostensibly catch a few speeders.

ANSWER: Thermage® is a non-invasive treatment for tightening loose and sagging skin. The most common areas treated are forehead, around the eyes, the mid and lower face and the neck. After one treatment results appear gradually over a 6 month period. Typically there is no downtime required. We are finding that Thermage® treatments used in conjunction with Botox, Fillers and Fraxel® create dramatic improvements to achieve a more youthful appearance. At our office we refer to the combination of Fraxel® and Thermage® as “the facelift bypass procedure”.

Cosmetic pesticides: Better to be safe... Re: Premier bitten by pest problem (B.C. Views, May 24). The editorial on cosmetic pesticides written by Tom Fletcher skates around the body of medical and scientific evidence linking these toxins to such illnesses
as childhood leukemia and Parkinson’s disease. In his words, the “right thing to do” is to do nothing about cosmetic pesticides. I imagine if he were living in the sixties, he would be arguing that the Vietnam War was the
right thing to do, or in the seventies that concern over the nuclear arms race was merely “political.” The problem with cosmetic pesticides, like DDT or cigarettes, is that there is no smoking gun. It is going to take time
to convince some people that pouring poison on their lawn could harm their children. In the case of Mr. Fletcher, I think it will take a lifetime. I pity his children. Jim McMurtry
Herd hysteria driving political decisions I enjoyed Tom Fletcher’s column on the hysterical reactions to any chemical use. With regard to Roundup, this compound is a very specific inhibitor of an enzyme unique to photosynthesis. Therefore it affects only photosynthesizing organisms, typically green plants. It has even gone through phase
one clinical trials (which test safety for humans) because there was some idea that it might help with arthritis. No such luck. In other words, you could drink the stuff with no ill effect. When Oak Bay council proposed banning all “pesticides” including Roundup, I wrote them pointing out these facts. To no avail; they

Destination Imagination team says thanks for support The Destination Imagination team called the “Spitfires,” from Cheam Elementar y School, would sincerely like to thank all of their supporters for their financial contributions and faith in their team. After winning the regional and provincial tournaments the team was poised to compete at the world championships in Knoxville Tennessee, where they have now won the No. 1 spot on the Canadian level for their
division. The little team of talented Grade 4 girls greatly appreciated the help and encouragement that they received from our community. Rhian Braun, Bethany Torio, Sydney Gazso, Madeline McDonald and Esme Markey would like to send their appreciation to: Mertin GM, The Royal Canadian Legion #280 (Vedder), School District #33, The Chilliwack Lions Club, The Chilliwack Optimist Club, The
Royal Canadian Legion #4, Bill Wiffen (Cheam Alumni from 1945, now living in Knoxville), Freisha Construction Ltd, Christine Goodman and family, Debbie and Joel Hallinan, and Susan and Friedl Milner. With the financial assistance from the community, the Spitfires were able to realize their dream of competing at the world level. The world tournament, held at the University of Tennessee,
was host to 17,000 kids from 13 diverse countries. Competitors from elementary to university level, competed in a variety of different problem solving, innovative and interactive, “think outside the box”, team challenges. This was an educational experience of a life time for our team that none of them will ever forget. The Spitfires would all like to say, “Thanks for believing in us!!”

anet Klassen uses a weed whacker to trim an overgrown backyard on First Avenue, Saturday. Klassen was one of many people who helped friends Kelley and Kelsey Bjarnason on the weekend with yard work and small home repairs. About 15 months ago, the Bjarnasons were both suddenly unable to work. Kelley had surgery and became pregnant, and Kelsey was diagnosed with lupus — all within a few months. They now have a six-month-old daughter. In a desperate attempt to get work done around the home, and to spread the word that May is Lupus Awareness Month, the Bjarnasons put a callout to friends asking for some helping hands on the weekend in exchange for a homecooked meal. Friends from Burnaby, Mission and Ruskin responded and spent the weekend helping the Bjarnasons. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Physicians not consulted on rehab unit’s closure REHAB from Front Gaetz said home care staff in Chilliwack are already over-loaded, and that Handi-Dart buses that elderly rehab patients would need to get to the Abbotsford hospital are “over-subscribed.” “Even if we added another bus, we’re still at the limit,” she said. “This is a huge issue.” A Hospital Employees Union
spokesperson said there is a “litany of concerns” with the FHA’s Rehabilitation Early Discharge initiative (REDi). “This is not just a frivolous unit,” said Margi Blamey, but a “critical phase” in the rehabilitation of patients that included participation by family and friends. “It set them up for a successful return home,” she said. Spurrell said a task force is being formed to ensure patients
needs in terms of transportation and home support are met, and that consultations with doctors and community health agencies “to work through implementation issues” will continue over the next couple of months. “We truly believe this change we’re making will make a big difference in terms of better outcomes, and more satisfied patients,” she said. rfreeman@theprogress.com
Businesses, home hit by vandalism Chilliwack RCMP are wondering if there are any more homes or businesses that have been victims of a recent spate of minor vandalism. Between May 26 and May 28, 2012, several businesses and one
residence had rocks thrown through windows and at vehicles in the parking lot, police say. In the 9000 block of Young Road a Dental Clinic had a small rock thrown through the window. In the 45900
block of Alexander Avenue a residence had two side windows smashed by rocks. Valley Toyota located at 8750 Young Road had rocks thrown through two windows of vehicles parked on the lot and Robertson

Elementar y located at 46106 Southlands Drive reported that several windows of the school had been broken. All incidents appeared to have happened during the night hours and no entry was gained into any of the buildings. As a result of police patrolling the area and conducting neighbourhood inquiries other nearby businesses were identified as fallen victim to broken windows, however those incidents were not reported to the police. “Business owners are encouraged to call the police to report these kinds of incidents,” says Corporal Tammy Hollingsworth. “In this case, there was more than one business affected. We have a better chance of linking the incidents and potentially finding the person or persons responsible for these senseless crimes, big or small, if all incidents are reported to the police.” If you have any information on these crimes or any other crime, you are asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

VICTORIA – Despite years of public education, almost 70 per cent of the houses that caught fire in B.C. in recent years still did not have a working smoking alarm. Many of those were low-income homes, rental units, many on aboriginal reserves and other rural locations, according to a study of residential fire reports done by the University of the Fraser Valley. Seniors, disabled people and young children were at greater risk of dying in a house fire. Justice Minister Shirley Bond and Social Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux revealed new support

Was it destiny or sheer luck? Leanne Adderley isn’t quite sure but she’s just thankful that whatever it was, it has brought her to this point at this time. Leanne was born and raised in Revelstoke, a small community on the mighty Columbia River that is nestled between the Selkirk and Monashee Mountains, in B.C.’s interior. It is a community known for its unspoiled, natural beauty that is equally rich in its heritage. As a community, Revelstoke has worked hard to build a world-class reputation for ‘living and playing’ in a spectacular setting, a reputation that Leanne affirms. As a teenager, she was rather a handful; the type of kid who wanted to get the most out of life. “School was not particularly my bag. I wasn’t in it for the academics, particularly. I was very social,� she laughed. Leanne quit school a few times but ended up graduating with her class. “Basically, I completed grades eight through twelve in two years. It’s amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it,� she chuckled. She admits that her mother was very understanding and to this day they remain the best of friends. “My mom is

wonderful. She spent her life helping girls grow and develop in a positive way. She was involved in the Girl Guide movement for 33 years and that was her passion in life,� she said. Ana For her MACEDO part, Leanne spent six years in Guides and admits that she enjoyed every minute of it. “It was great. Again, it was a social outlet and that’s what I always enjoyed.�
Leanne is very close to her younger sister, Shari and has recently connected with her older brother, Dave. “He was given up for adoption and I never knew that I even had a brother. We’ve reunited with him in the last two years and I’m so glad that we’ve connected and that I have an older brother. He’s a great guy and we spend as much time together as we can,� she said. Nineteen years ago she met her husband, Shawn, at a small resort in Revelstoke. “He was working as a chef at The Peaks Lodge which at that time was a
higher end, world-class, snowmobiling resort that offered fine dining. When we met, there was just something about him. He had a twinkle in his eye and there was something about his smile. I promptly invited him out water skiing,� she laughed. A year later, the couple married. The Peaks Lodge regularly catered large events. Continued: ANA/ p25

room – it was all very unique.” On April 26, 1976 Smith started his 36-year career in the print shop.
In an industry that has seen numerous changes over the years, Smith has been the one staying force. He’s gone from number 21 on the seniority board to number one. He’s gone from
a shop of 21 fellow printers to less than a third of that. He’s gone from pasting up the paper onto flats to now doing everything by the “push of a button” on a computer.

“It used to be so labour intensive, but now there’s a lot less wasted motion,” he said. Thanks in large part to the evolution of technology. In the early days, there were no computers, just hot lead. When the first computers did arrive, they had no screens, just a keyboard and a spool of tape. And the newspaper’s first server, which was purchased in 1982, filled the back room. “It was the size of three household refrigerators,” said Smith. And now, the business as a whole is largely controlled by computers. For Smith, it seemed fitting to end his career yesterday on a deadline day. “I’m going to miss the challenge of it; it never ceased to be a challenge,” he said. “I think the hardest part to get my head around will be not going to work. I’ve always had the work ethic that you have to be productive.”

the use of empathy develops a relational bond and is a start to building positive habits and emotions. Connect Parenting covers many skills helpful for parenting challenging teenagers, and the skill of empathy is necessary for each of them. Take a moment to think back to a highly charged situation in which another person did or did not utilize empathy with your feelings. Do you remember your last infuriating conversation with a customer service representative on the phone? I know that part of my frustration and irritation during that scenario was my impression the person neither understood or cared about my quandary. Now imagine a time you spoke with someone and it felt like the communication was humming. Everything you said they understood on an intellectual level, but also really felt what you felt. Simply put- we can encourage the development of empathy in young people by empathizing with them. We learn best by experiencing. In every relationship there are moments of conflict and these are prime opportunities for practicing empathy- but are often the moments in which we find it difficult to empathize. When emotions are running high, we often put our shields up, and focus more on our response than on what the other person may be thinking or feeling. When engaged in conflict, it can be more fruitful to step away and return at a later time when using empathy comes more easily. Today, when interacting with another person, really focus on how they are feeling. Are they sad,

Over the last few Perspective’s columns my colleagues, Eryn Wicker and Rob Lees, and I outlined the importance and “how to’s” of developing empathy in young people at different stages. Oftentimes, parents and community members approach older adolescents as set in their ways and beyond learning a skill such as empathy. Empathy is the relaMarie tional AMOS equivalent of eating well and exercising – good for us at any age. Teenagers are in the unique time of life where being attuned to their peers comes very naturally. But even for those of us who are older it is never too late to practise healthy and helpful habits and promoting empathy in others and ourselves. Empathy is the skill of feeling what another person is feeling. Sympathy is often confused with empathy, but sympathy is feeling for someone, instead of with someone. For example, feeling sorry for someone who has lost a loved one is sympathy, but empathy is having sorrow in your heart when a friend is sad. The Maples Adolescent Treatment Centre’s parenting course, Connect, spends a session helping parents learn how to apply and promote empathy in their teenagers. It’s been identified as an essential element in all relationships. In spite of hurtful and hurting relationship patterns,

Creating with clay The Fraser Valley Potters Guild’s juried show, Clay 2012, will be on display for the first time in Chilliwack next month. More than 30 talented potters will be featured in this stunning exhibit in the Art Gallery at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre from June 6 until July 14. Local potters Sue Schellenberg, Deb Greenfield, Debi Olsen, Ted Driediger and Holly McKeen will be representing Chilliwack in the show. All pieces for Clay 2012 were juried by California potter Lana Wilson who also provided feedback to the guild during the process of selecting the 100 pieces. Visitors will find a variety of styles and methods of making and firing, with everything from rustic wood-fired work to sculptural art pieces to contemporary wheel-thrown designs. The show will also feature a ‘mug wall’ with a great variety of guild members’ mugs and small bowls to browse, and for immediate purchase. Guided tours of the show, for groups of five or more, will also be offered to those wanting to learn more about the many techniques used in pottery. To book a group tour, call Holly McKeen at 604-8236430. The opening reception for Clay 2012 is June 6 at 7 p.m. Gallery hours are noon to 5 p.m. Wednesdays to Saturdays. www. fraservalleypottersguild.ca.

It’s shaping up to be an incredible beach party at Cultus Lake — the likes of which haven’t been seen for years on Main Beach. The first ever Cultus Lake Community Day is set for Saturday, June 9, officially proclaimed by Cultus Lake Park Board. Activities have been planned for the entire day by a stoked events committee focused on the beach experience. First it’s a pancake breakfast at the fire hall, then a parade, a carnival, ceremonies, a market and of course, live music. If that weren’t enough, the day ends

A perfect theme for the inaugural event was born. “Let’s celebrate that,” Newhouse said was the consensus on the committee. “It will turn into a way to rekindle that nostalgia so many people have about Main Beach.” Live music on the beach used to be a huge attraction, organized and made popular by people like city councillor Ken Popove. “What we’re hearing is that people miss having live music on the beach, and having events organized for the whole community,” said Newhouse.

Neighbours ANA from p15 “As it turned out,” Leanne said,, “Shawn was the chef who prepared the food for a hockey player’s wedding and the Kerr’s, who owned Conair Aviation, somehow found out about it. They were impressed with the work that he did and asked if he could work as the chef for their daughter’s wedding, which he did. After the wedding, they asked Shawn if he’d consider moving to Abbotsford to work at their son’s restaurant and we decided that it would be a good move,” she explained. The Kerr’s took Leanne and Shawn under their wing and the couple began working at Piccata’s Restaurant, something that they both enjoyed. It was while Leanne was working at Piccata’s
that she met Peter Alpen and Steve Hemenway who worked for Fraser Valley Broadcasters. “They were in for lunch one day and out of the blue, they asked if I had ever considered working in radio. I have no idea why they asked me. Was this just pure luck? I don’t know. Anyhow, I had previously worked in production and sales at the newspaper in Revelstoke and after their proposal, I began considering the prospect of returning to sales, by working at the radio station,” she said. The rest, as they say, is history and Leanne began working for Fraser Valley Broadcasters. Although the company has since been sold to Rogers Communications, as of this May, Leanne will have been working in radio sales for 15 years. Aside from her sales

GW Graham hoops duo commits to Briercrest Eric J. Welsh, The Progress The next step in the basketball careers of Josiah Cockrill and Lucas Mannes is taking them far, far away from Chilliwack. Caronport, Saskatchewan is their destination and you can be forgiven if you’ve never heard of it. With a population of 2,000 or so, it qualifies as a village and doesn’t appear on many maps. “It’s pretty much a couple houses, a gas station and a Subway,” Cockrill said. “And the Subway is in the gas station.” But small as it is, Caronport is also home to Briercrest College and the basketball Clippers. And it will be home to the two Grizzlies who graduate from GW Graham in a little over one month’s time. “It’s a Christian College, and the basketball team plays in the ACAC (Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference),” Mannes said. “A lot of people say it’s the best collegiate conference in the country.” The Clippers played in the South division last season, finishing last in the six-team group with a record of 4-14. Briercrest head coach Rod Adrian was on the recruiting trail early, looking for young guns to help turn his team around. He contacted Mannes early in the high school season and stayed in contact, keeping the Clippers at the top of the Chilliwack kid’s list. “The atmosphere is a big thing, because I wanted the Christian atmosphere and that community,” said Mannes, who visited the Caronport campus along with Cockrill before committing. “They offered financial help as well, because it’s a pretty expensive school.” Mannes will be in the mix for a starting job right away, an opportunity he may not have had with one of the top teams. “The other colleges I talked to

said backup and maybe starting, not as promising as Briercrest sounded,” Mannes noted. GWG coach Jake Mouritzen has no doubt that if Mannes gets a shot at starting, he will seize the moment. “He shows a passion and dedication to the game of basketball like no other student athlete I have ever seen,” Mouritzen said. “He is the first athlete in the gym at 6:30 a.m. and the last to leave at 10 p.m. every day. Lucas has created a basketball culture at Graham that will continue for many many years to come. I have no doubt that Lucas will go on to do great things at Briercrest and then at the CIS level.”
If bloodlines are any indication, Cockrill should do fine as well. Two years ago, Josiah watched older brother and former GWG Grizzly Micah go through the recruitment process before finally landing with the University of British Columbia-Okanagan. “He came out of here as the star and go-to guy and he really had to adjust to being more of a support player,” Josiah mentioned. “He ended up earning a starting spot at UBC-O, and that’s the adjustment I have to make now. He’s told me a lot of small things that will help me succeed.” Like Mannes, Mouritzen believe Cockrill will fare just fine at the ACAC level.
Grade 7’s. “It does seem like a flash, a blur when you look back at it now,” Mannes said. “My little brother is one of those Grade 7’s, and I’m super excited to watch him grow. Hopefully, watching how hard we worked will have an impact on how hard they work.” “There’s some Grade 7’s here now that are better than we were at that age, so imagine what they’ll do when they’re in Grade 12,” Cockrill added. “We tried to make basketball fun and it was fun coming to the gym every day. Hopefully the younger generation saw that and they’ll try to do what we did, and hopefully do it even better than we did.”
“The Cockrill family has been a very huge part of Graham Basketball since day one, but Josiah has worked very hard to create his own path,” the coach said. “His leadership on the court is top notch and his defensive abilities are some of the best in the province. His work ethic and dedication has been first class and he has earned an opportunity to compete at the next level.” Mannes and Cockrill are the third and fourth GWG basketball players to move on to post-secondary hoops, following in the footsteps of Micah Cockrill and big center Chris Thomson. To both, it seems like just yesterday that they were tiny little

Chipping tips UFV soccer moving to Chilliwack The University of the Fraser Valley’s soccer teams are moving from Abbotsford to Chilliwack. The UFV athletic department recently finalized a deal with the City of Chilliwack which will see the Cascades men’s and women’s squads play their Canada West conference home games
out of Exhibition Field during the 2012 season. The west pitch at Abbotsford’s Bateman Park had been serving as the UFV teams’ previous home. The move allows the Cascades to schedule evening games, something they were unable to do at Bateman Park, which does not have field lights. Furthermore, Exhibition Field features covered seating for 2,000 people, which
far exceeds the capacity of Bateman’s collection of bleachers. While Abbotsford has been the historic hub of UFV athletics, interim athletic director Chris Bertram doesn’t think decentralizing will be detrimental. “I see it as a real positive,” he said. “We’re the University of the Fraser Valley, and not the university of just Abbotsford. “Chilliwack and the University of the Fraser

people is more conducive to that. “I’m trying to market our games to young female soccer players. At noon on a Saturday or Sunday, the majority of those players are either just finishing a game or are going to a game. “So we ended up playing in front of parents and the odd friend. But this is the highest level of university sports in Canada – can we not think of a better way to get the young, aspiring players in the Fraser Valley to watch us play?” Get more info on UFV soccer online at ufv.ca/athletics.
Valley are becoming more strongly linked in many ways. To give the community the opportunity to embrace one of our athletic programs helps cement that even further.” UFV women’s soccer coach Rob Giesbrecht said the ultimate dream would be to have an oncampus soccer venue in Abbotsford. But until that materializes, he believes Exhibition Field is the best option. “We’re trying to put on an experience for our student-athletes that is a bit more professional,” he said. “Playing at night, playing in a stadium in front of more

On the lesson tee, many students note how difficult it is to shave those last few strokes off their handicap. I will often direct students away from the driving range, and instead take them to the chipping green, because one of the easiest way to lower your scores is by improving your chipping. Many golfers believe in the myth that the key to lower scores lies with a perfect golf swing. While an efficient, easy to reproduce golf swing is certainly an asset, making significant changes is no easy task. It takes a lot of practice and commitment to make even the smallest swing change feel natural. But by simply working on a basic ‘chip and run’ shot, a golfer can save five or more strokes off their handicap, and save a lot of time and frustration trying to make difficult swing changes. The basic rule of thumb when hitting a chip shot is to use as much of the green as the shot will allow. Many players choose a high trajectory chip shot, which is more difficult to hit and has dire consequences if the shot is mis-hit. The ‘chip and run’ shot should be your bread and butter around the green. I use this shot as often as I can because of its reliability and user-friendly results. The key to hitting a good chip shot lies first with your set up. Hold the club a little further down on the grip. Then take your stance with your feet closer together, and your weight loaded 70 per cent to your front side. Place the ball at the back of your stance, and keep your hands pressed slightly ahead of your hands. The motion of the chip shot comes from your shoulders. Because your weight is already preshifted to your forward side, you will not need to transfer your weight as you would with a full swing. Keep your lower body still, and loaded onto your forward side. The most common mistake I see golfers make with the chip and run shot is that they will often try to scoop the ball into the air with their hands. This mistake will cause the dreaded chillidip shot, or the skulled shot over the green. To hit a consistent chip shot, keep your wrists quiet, and instead strike the ball in a downward motion with your shoulders. To practice this, you will need two tees. Place the first tee in the ground, and stick the second tee in the end of your club’s grip. Now make a practice stroke keeping the tee in your club pointed up your lead forearm. In order to do this, you must maintain the angle in your wrists, with the motion coming from your shoulders. Now try making some practice strokes while striking the tee you placed in the ground. By feeling like you are pinching the tee out of the ground, you will be able to hit more consistent chip shots that pop up into the air, and roll to your target.

Flag football festivities at Townsend Park Chilliwack hosts the Valley Minor Football League Flag Football Tournament Saturday at Townsend Park. “Games begin at 9 a.m. and we expect to see several hundred kids and parents descending on Chilliwack to participate in this exciting annual event,” said Chilliwack Minor Football Association vice president Mike Derksen.

Chilliwack Minor Football held its annual skills camp May 23 with more than 150 youths ages 6 to 18 participating. The players were led through drills by Chilliwack Giants coaches and guest coaches from the junior Chilliwack Huskers. Several members of the BC Football Conference team helped out, led by new head coach Tyson St. James. St. James had the best football pedigree of anyone on the field, having played professionally for the Canadian Football League’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers and Saskatchewan Roughriders. “The skills camp was awesome and I can’t wait to start this season,” said first-year bantam player Emerson Harvey. “I learned so much in just a couple of hours and even took on a guy four years older than me and held my own.” The annual skills camp is designed to give players a head start to the season and a chance for new players to get an idea of what football is all about.

WESTER Marcel
In a state of deep peace and acceptance, Marcel Wester effortlessly and graciously let go on May WESTER 26, 2012 at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver. Marcel was born in Nieuwe Niedorp (NL) June 23, 1966, the ninth of ten children. He grew up on a diary farm and had a natural love for animals, nature and farming, eventually completing his degree in agriculture. He moved to Canada in 1997 and immediately found a home in the pristine Ryder Lake, employment with Batavia Greenhouse Builders and love with the woman he would spend the rest of his life with. Marcel always had an innate gift with animals from early on in his life both befriending them and doing dog rescue rehabilitation. He was deeply loved by his wife, Teri, stepdaughter Krista, son-in-law Sean and adored by his grandchildren Isabella and Grayson. He will be missed by his large family in Holland and Canada. Marcel, you will be greatly missed. You live deep in our hearts and all that you are is a part of us now. We are forever touched and changed by having you in our lives. We are blessed. We love you now and forever. A Memorial is being held at False Creek Community Centre on Granville Island on Sunday, June 3rd at 12:30 pm.
