Food Innovation Centre in Chilliwack shuts down One year and $400,000 later, plug pulled on start up company Robert Freeman The Progress

The Food Innovation Centre in Chilliwack, which opened just a year ago with federal and provincial funding, is shutting down at the end of this week. The four staff at the centre received notice that their jobs end Friday, and FICBC CEO Mike Leslie said his job will continue — on a part-time basis — only until the end of March. “It’s unfortunate, trying to get a startup (company) going in less than a year, and then having its funding cut,” he said. Leslie said the centre serves “a broad range” of food-related clients, from individual farmers who need help getting their produce to market to larger companies dealing with regulatory issues. The centre currently has 130 clients, and Leslie said his part-time job will include finishing up those contracts. On Wednesday, the B.C. Agriculture Ministry announced a $262,500 grant for the centre, but Leslie said that is old money and does nothing to help the current situation. “There must be an election coming,” he said. “They’re reporting things that are a year old.” B.C. Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick said he was not aware of the grant announcement. Continued: FOOD/ p6

The City of Chilliwack has announced its intention to expropriate the Irwin Block at the corner of Young and Yale if a sales agreement with property owner Xing Chen cannot be reached. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

City moves to expropriate the Irwin Block Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

City of Chilliwack is moving ahead with land assembly in the downtown after issuing a notice of intent to expropriate property at 9282 Young Road. The building known as the Irwin Block is at Five Corners, in a block of land flagged for “revitalization and redevelopment” under the Chilliwack Downtown Plan. The expropriation is seen as a catalyst to eventually assembling all the properties bounded by Young Road, Yale Road, Nowell Street and Princess Avenue. The lot consolidation is all part of a long-term approach to fixing what ails the downtown core, according to Mayor Sharon Gaetz.

“This is an important step forward in assembling the land required to create an attractive development opportunity in our downtown.” The aim is to create a massive single property measuring 1.5 hectares that will appeal to future investors. The concept features commercial and mixed residential uses in three mid-rise buildings surrounding an urban park. The city already owns 10 lots in this block and wants to acquire the majority of the remaining properties over time. “The estimate of six to seven years for this process is what they’re tossing around,” said Gaetz. “But we want to stand the dominoes up so we’re ready.” The Irwin Block’s history goes

back more than 100 years. Built by Burrowes Alex Irwin , it originally housed the B.A. Irwin General Merchant store, a real estate office, and a dental office. Subsequently, the building has also housed C.H. Cowen Drug Company, the B.C. Katalla Oil Company and Hipwell Drugs.

There were plans six years ago to renovate the building and convert it into a retail and residential development. But it has sat vacant ever since. The property was up for sale in the past year with a sign that said it would be the future site of condo development. The registered owner of the property is Xing Chen, who does not live in Chilliwack. “This is a ‘notice of intent’ to expropriate, so there is still some time to reach a sale agreement without expropriation,” said the mayor. Chilliwack officials are ready to pay “fair market value” for the property and have been in contact with the owner. Continued: IRWIN/ p4

Oil terminal a danger zone, pipeline firm told Information sessions shift from inlet to Fraser Valley; No date yet set for Chilliwack meeting Jeff Nagel Black Press

The risk of a marine oil spill dominated the first public information sessions Kinder Morgan is hosting in the Lower Mainland on the planned twinning of its Trans Mountain pipeline. But the expected five-fold increase in the number of tank-

Virtual tool to connect

ers sailing through the Second Narrows is not what worries Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew. He believes the twin hulls, two pilots and three tethered tugs shepherding each big tanker, along with other precautions, mean the diluted bitumen should move safely through Burrard Inlet once it’s loaded. Instead, Drew is focusing on

the Westridge terminal in north Burnaby as a critically vulnerable point where safety improvements are needed – whether or not the pipeline expansion proceeds. “That loading terminal sits directly on top of a fault zone,” Drew said. “The scenario I believe is possible is an earthquake that causes a rupture of the pipeline.” It might be a seismic event similar to the one that sheared off the side of Burnaby Mountain 50,000 years ago, he said, this time sluicing oil into the ocean nearby.

Much would depend on how fast Kinder Morgan could shut off the flow of oil and how quickly crews respond to contain and clean up any oil that reaches the water. And Drew says he remains dissatisfied with the speed of the response to a 2007 spill in north Burnaby and concerned that federal safety regulations only cover the pipeline itself and tankers, but not the terminal. Kinder Morgan is charged with cleaning up land-based spills and its responsibility only extends to

It’s another tool in the toolbox. The virtual consultation site PlaceSpeak is being used by the City of Chilliwack planning team to gather feedback about what’s important to residents as its Official Community Plan review gets underway. “We are very excited to be integrating online participation into our OCP review process,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “We know our residents have busy lives and we want to find as many ways as possible to seek input and gather information. “This is one more tool in our toolbox.” It allows residents to participate in online discussions and enter photo and video contests as a way of having a stake in the process. You can also state your opinion in person. The first OCP review open house is at UFV Canada Education Park on Caen Avenue in the Atrium Room on Thursday, Nov. 22, from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The second is at Evergreen Hall 9291 Corbould Street on Monday, November 26, 2012 from 5 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

the end of its pipe, while shipping firms take responsibility only once a full tanker leaves the dock. That leaves a potential legal “black hole” if a terminal or pipeline accident puts oil into the water before a ship leaves, Drew said. “So long as that ship’s at Kinder Morgan’s dock it’s their loading terminal, it should be their responsibility,” he said, adding the company should be required to have its own trained emergency responders on site.

People toast to Yoshi Nakauchi (right) after he stopped at Evergreen Hall in Chilliwack on Thursday evening on the second to last day of his cross-Canada bicycle journey. Nakauchi is from Japan and moved to Vancouver in April, 2011, one month after the tsunami hit his country. In June, he left St. John’s Newfoundland to bike across Canada to fundraise for the continuing rebuilding effort in Japan. Nakauchi is raising money to help plant 17,000 cherry blossom trees as part of the Sakura Line 311 project. Marking the edge of the tsunami, the trees will be planted as a memorial and as a reminder to how far the water came inland. They will also indicate a safe zone in case another tsunami hits in the future. “That cherry blossom line makes our mind at peace,” says Nakauchi. To donate to the cause, go to www.yoshirolls.org.

An explosion and fire that gutted two rooms of a Ryder Lake home Wednesday afternoon are being investigated by Chilliwack fire officials. A teenager and his mother were at the home, but uninjured when an explosion blew out a window of the teen’s bedroom at about 1:45 p.m. Assistant Fire Chief Ian Josephson said the teenager was lucky he wasn’t in the bedroom when the explosion occurred. The exact cause of the blast won’t be known until the fire department’s investigation is complete. But Josephson said it may have been caused by the “build up of vapour from a flammable liquid.” The resulting fire was quickly knocked down by firefighters, but two bedrooms were gutted and there was smoke and heat damage throughout the house in the 47000-block Green Hill Road. About 24 firefighters from three firehalls responded to the fire call.

Cohen report falls short, says Sto:lo Tribal Council

Sto:lo Tribal Council leaders welcomed the final report of the Cohen Commission’s inquiry into the decline of Fraser River sockeye. But Tribal Chief Tyrone McNeil said the commission could have gone further to protect wild salmon from diseases carried by farmed fish. “I wanted the Commissioner to recommend there be no (salmon) farms on the migratory

route of Fraser sockeye, and the relocation of farms to new sites,” he said. Diseases transferred from farmed fish “pose a singular threat to wild salmon,” he said, and “could decimate wild fish entirely.” “Indeed, contagion from salmon farms may already be taking their toll,” he said. Grand Chief Clarence Pennier said the STC is studying the report while awaiting the federal govern-

ment’s reaction to the recommendations, which come at a time when wild salmon are under assault from many sides. “Ottawa is failing to protect Fraser River sockeye,” he charged, and the federal government “has added insult to injury by gutting habitat safeguards in the Fisheries Act, trashing the Canadian Environmental Protection Act and scuttling the Navigable Waters Act.

Pennier said job cuts and funding cutbacks at federal fisheries shows “obviously, this government is not the least bit concerned about the future of Fraser River Sockeye.” McNeil said he also wanted the commission to recommend “an overhaul of the relationship between First Nations and the DFO” and restore traditional aboriginal knowledge and salmon management practices.

Instead, the commission recommended that Ottawa hang onto the role of the ultimate authority in the fishery. “This is both troubling and ironic,” McNeil said, “because it was Ottawa that got all of us and the fish into trouble to begin with.

try, and maybe even (NHL commissioner) Gar y Bettman too, that nobody supports hockey and local entertainment the way Chilliwack does,” he said. “Our goal is to set the all-time single game attendance record for the Chilliwack Chiefs and support the great players that have never locked us out.” So why did they choose the Chiefs? “We’re here to support local businesses, and they are a local business,” he said. “And they have been doing very well.” The goal of the cash mob phenomena has never been about “rescuing” a failing business, McVetty underlined. In fact, the Chiefs enjoyed the highest attendance numbers among Junior A hockey clubs across Canada for the 2011-12 season. “The perception is that because we have such a big arena, even at 45 per cent capacity, it still feels quite empty.”

So supporting the Nov. 24 event is twopronged. One the one hand, individuals are encouraged to buy tickets and enjoy the game, and on the other, businesses can purchase entire rows of seats to use themselves or give away. Business owners who buy a $150 row of seats, will be entered into a draw for a catered night watching the game from a corporate box. “This could theoretically involve dozens of businesses,” McVetty said. “Either way it’s pretty good family entertainment value for the dollar, and we’ve secured good prices.” There are two ways to get tickets. Go to chilliwackchiefs.net and purchase tickets for Nov. 24 using the CASHMOB code to get $2 off the ticket price, or call the Chiefs’ headquarters at 604-392-4433 and place an order.

“But whenever the city makes known its intention to buy a property, acquisition prices can escalate,” Geatz said. “People have this perception that the city has very deep pockets, but in fact we always want to squeeze out the most value for the taxpayer.” There are some existing structural problems with the Irwin Block. “It is our understanding that the building has significant issues, some of which are structural, making remediation cost-prohibitive and precluding any interim use,” Gaetz told The Progress. “Therefore, we anticipate that this building will need to be demolished at some point, but it’s not as if we’re going to do it tomorrow.” The expropriation process is a “fair” one used in many communities to effect change on the development front for a “municipal purpose,” she said. City of Chilliwack has expropriated property on two other occasions in the past decade. The last time was the southeast corner of Watson, where a bank now sits, and the expropriation was required in order to widen the street. The second expropriation example was also for street widening, for an RV dealership by the Vibe development on Yale Road. For more details on the DT plan and the concept for the Downtown Block check out www.chilliwackdowntownplan.ca.

tional costs.” He said the ministry will continue to fund capital costs of “innovation projects” in B.C., but not “administrative” costs. Dave Eto, president of the BC Food Processors Association, did not return a Progress call for comment, but in a news release the association said if the FICBC shuts down, “the food processing industry, part of the number one economic driver of the economy, will be the loser.” He said in a letter to Letnick that the centre “must have adequate support from government to fund their operations for the first critical years of existence and (for) the transition from startup to commercialization.” “While the Ag Minister and the Premier continue to make speeches featuring the $3.5 billion in new sales and the 20,000 jobs to be created through innovation in the agrifood sector by 2017, it seems meeting these targets is now even farther away,” he said in the release. NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham could not be reached for comment, but ChilliwackFraser MLA Gwen O’Mahony said the centre had a “very good” business plan that would see it become “eventually self-reliant — but it takes time.” She said the NDP caucus supported the FICBC, and without it, she believes B.C. will be “lagging behind” other provinces which do have similar innovation centres. “This is one of those issues that had we been in Victoria (in legislative session), we would have raised it in Question Period,” she said.

Turning off tar sands tap ‘naive,’ says MP Mark Strahl

going to look at the facts and not be driven by fear,” he added. Hale charged that tar sands extraction does “irreparable” harm to the planet, that studies show there is no economic benefit to B.C. and that “viable” energy alternatives will create more jobs. Strahl was not at his Chilliwack office Oct. 31 for a noon-hour demonstration organized by PIPE UP, but the MP said his absence wasn’t because he was afraid or avoiding protesters. “I was in Ottawa doing what I was supposed to be doing” as an MP, he said. “It wasn’t anything to do with me being afraid of the protesters or not wanting to talk to them,” he said.

‘One step closer’

Expropriation is not a word you hear often in the free enterprise heartland of B.C. And yet that is what the City of Chilliwack said last week it was prepared to do with the Irwin Block on Five Corners in the city’s downtown. Not that the move comes as any big surprise, given the aggressive tack the city has taken lately on the redevelopment of the downtown. It has already purchased and demolished the Empress Hotel next door. And the demolition of the Paramount Theatre and its neighbour to the south is also in the works. The city has made no secret of its plan for the property bordered by Yale and Young Roads and Princess Avenue. It agreed to a plan in September that will see the eventual transformation of the property into a 1.5-hectare mixed use development that will include retail, residential and commercial. In concept plans drawn up by urban consultant HB Lanarc for the City of Chilliwack, the Irwin Block property is pictured as a multi-storey office building. The Empress property next door is a residential condominium complex overtop of a restaurant. Chilliwack already owns other properties in the block. The long-term

goal is to consolidate these properties, making the entire block more attractive to investors. The city’s intent to expropriate the property, said Mayor Sharon Gaetz, “is an important step forward in assembling the land required to create an attractive development opportunity in our downtown.” The property has been dormant for years. After an initial effort to renovate the building six years ago, it has sat empty. Construction material from that aborted attempt still scatter the floor and plywood covers several windows. Nonetheless, the fate of the building will likely be keenly watched by those concerned with Chilliwack’s architectural heritage. The building may be in disrepair, but it remains an iconic facade in the downtown. Its history is long and its location on one of the spokes of Five Corners prominent. Yet years of neglect are hard to overcome. If its structure is unsound, it’s unlikely the Irwin Block will avoid the fate of the Empress and Paramount. Expropriation and demolition of the building may take us “one step closer to realizing our vision for a vibrant downtown,” as the mayor says. But not without another casualty. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Marijuana vote a game-changer for Canada

Prime Minister Stephen Harper may be dismissive about the fact that the states of Washington and Colorado voted in favour of legalizing marijuana last week, but they have set the stage for a game changer, however complicated. Ironically, last Tuesday’s vote on the day of the U.S. election fell on the same day that the Harper government’s Safe Streets and Communities Act with tougher drug possession laws came into effect. Whether Harper likes it or not, individual states in the U.S. are inching forward while Canada’s drug laws are going backwards. The game changer is that Colorado and Washington are the first states to vote in favour of the sale and use of small amounts of recreational marijuana. Medical marijuana laws have existed in some states for well over a decade

Progress

(California was the first to legalize medical marijuana use in 1996) and Canada has a formal system to regulate the medicinal use of the plant. In the U.S., 18 states and the District of Columbia (over one third of the country) now have similar laws in play. In 2011, the medical marijuana busiMargaret ness was worth US$1.7 billion and EVANS growing. Granted, enacting the voting outcome in Colorado and Washington is going to be a complicated and probably lengthy process for policy makers. They have to find ways to reconcile state law with U.S. federal law under which marijuana is illegal. But the forces of change to repeal prohibi-

tion have been nipping at the heels of policy makers for decades Prohibition doesn’t work. It didn’t work during the prohibition era outlawing alcohol (1920-1933) and it is a complete failure now. All it has done is drive drug use underground and put countless millions of dollars into the hands of criminals who incite violence on city streets in their ongoing turf wars. Millions of dollars from the public purse have been spent on law enforcement and the justice and legal systems to stop something clearly unstoppable. Meanwhile, people addicted to hard drugs suffer devastating health consequences. And just for the record, the use of marijuana is not a proven gateway drug to the use of hard drugs. Thousands who enjoy pot socially never go on to using heroin or cocaine. Legalizing, regulating and tax-

ing marijuana would put those commercial dollars into the hands of licensed growers, sellers and government regulators just like alcohol. Tax revenues could be invested into broad-spectre health needs of Canadians battling drug addiction issues at all levels, helping them return to productive lives. As much as PM Harper is stubbornly against decriminalizing or legalizing marijuana, he’s going to have to recognize that popular opinion is shifting away from policy crackdowns to new, more efficient and effective ways to deal with the soft drug issue. An Angus Reid poll conducted in mid-October for Stop the Violence BC found that 75 per cent of B.C. respondents support regulating and taxing marijuana, a jump of six per cent from polls a year ago. This latest poll mir-

rors the dissatisfaction for the status quo across political, social, economic and regional lines and underscores the degree to which the mindset of the Harper government is out of touch with the will of British Columbians. Stop the Violence BC is a coalition of law enforcement officials, legal experts, medical and public health officials, and academic experts concerned about the links between marijuana prohibition and the growth of organized crime. A report released last winter concluded that increased funding for marijuana law enforcement fails to decrease production, supply, potency or use. In fact, research suggests regulation could actually reduce pot use in young people. Washington and Colorado voters have taken a progressive step forward. Now it’s our turn.

38th Annual Chilliwack

What will make drivers slow down? I writing once again in regards to the many, many, many speeders on the roads in school zones. I wrote last spring as well, in hopes that I could get through to some people. However, after the blitz by the RCMP and ICBC to quell speeders you would also think it would sink

in. But here I am again writing to express my outrage. My son attends Vedder Elementary School on Promontory Road. It is a busy road at the best of times. Everyday I see drivers (some with children in their car!) doing excessive speeds within the many bright signs that post the

Christmas Craft Market November 16, 17 & 18

speed limit. Other than the obvious school beside the road, the marked speed limit signs and occasional random speed trap; what will it take to make people slow down? Please drivers, take the extra five to six seconds to do the school zone speed limit! Is it too much to ask?

Poppy campaign called a success and women who made the ultimate sacrifice have been recognized. By making a donation and wearing a poppy, Canadians of all ages support Canadian Forces and RCMP Veterans and their families as well as the many the communities where we live. The Poppy Campaign makes it possible for the legion to operate a Service Bureau which acts as an advocate for Veterans and RCMP members and their families to ensure their quality of life is the best it

can be. Every year, the money collected through the Poppy Campaign is used to provide direct assistance for veterans and their families who are experiencing financial distress. The funds are used to pay for food, accommodation, utilities, hospital comforts and dental and optical services. The legion truly cares about all veterans, not just by advocating on their behalf, but by engaging in everyday activities to make their lives better. I n fact, our most recent

records show more than $13 million were disbursed as benevolent awards to Canada’s veterans and serving personnel. Again, thank you to the thousands of legion members who helped with our Poppy Campaign and to the millions of Canadians who have proudly supported our campaign this year. We are truly grateful. We Will Remember Them,

Remembrance Day needs more attention I am saddened by the loss of the poppy boxes here in Chilliwack. I also can’t believe that we spend so much money at Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving and Easter but not when Remembrance Day comes around. We’re given a day off for Remembrance Day each year, and at various locations a place to

donate money and receive a poppy to wear. The people standing there are not representatives of a company and they are not being paid, they are war veterans! It’s time we started spending more money on Remembrance Day. A few coins add up, but compared to the amount of money that is spent on other occasions, this

pales in comparison. How about a Poppy-thon? What about using your cellphone to scan and donate money? This would eliminate the use of credit cards and debit cards. Julie Bishop Former MSE-Op DND Regular Force CFB Chilliwack

Readers urged to review Cohen commission report I read with interest the Nov. 8 letter from BC Salmon Farmers Association’s Clare Backman titled “No ‘smoking gun’ in salmon debate”. I must take issue with points in Backman’s letter. I failed to find in the report commendation of “B.C. Salmon farmers for collecting and providing an impressive 10-year fish-health database” as Backman contends. I did find that in July 2010

the Aquaculture Coalition and Conser vation Coalition, groups I would characterize as defenders of wild salmon, made “an application seeking documents relating to fish health, pathogens, and disease, as well as stocking data in farmed salmon” This application resulted in 10 years data being made public as exhibits in the inquiry. As to correlation between health of farmed salmon and

decline of sockeye, it is true the report does not place blame exclusively. Indeed, the commission’s terms of reference include “to conduct the inquiry without seeking to find fault”. However regarding salmon farms Cohen states: “I therefore conclude that the potential harm posed to Fraser River sockeye salmon from salmon farms is serious or irreversible.” The terms of reference directed the commission

to “make recommendations for improving the future sustainability of the sockeye salmon fishery in the Fraser River”. We are fortunate to have the Honourable Justice’s exemplary work toward this end. I call upon British Columbians to download the report from http://www.cohencommission.ca and read it for themselves. Ian Stephen Chilliwack, BC

Lest we forget!! The other day I heard a young child ask “Why do we have Remembrance Day?” And the answer was - it is for the soldiers who died in the war. I thought about that and it came to mind that this is only part of the answer. It is also for all of us who are here today enjoying the freedom of living in this country because of the acts of these brave soldiers. It is our way of giving tribute to the members of the armed services who fought so gallantly to allow us to live in a free society. Thank you. We have many ex-military people in our Lions Club and they are still serving the people – only in a different way. Like all Lions, they are dedicated to making life better for our citizens. In the spring (April 6th & 7th) the heroes hockey challenge is coming to our area. The mission of this event is to raise awareness and needed funds for families of the fallen, wounded soldiers & their families and veterans and their families. One of Mount Cheam Lions past presidents, retired CWO Jim Cumyn, is one of the promoters of this event. If you would like more info you can contact Jim @ 604-824-1431 . We are approaching a busy time of year. We are in the process of preparing for the upcoming holiday season with plans for our annual Christmas projects. Such as our turkey draws, childrens and seniors Christmas parties, pub crawl and more. So watch for our presence.. And finally our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims of superstorm Sandy. Lions Club International is part of the hands on help being given to these unfortunate people. It will be a long recovery period but the Lions will be helping them wherever they can.

Drew said Western Canada Marine Response Corp., the cleanup response agency contracted by shipping firms, should act only as a backup at the terminal. Drew proposes double booms separated by an inflatable spacer be set up in the water around the terminal and tanker zone, instead of the single boom now used – making it much less likely that oil might escape in a bigger spill or choppy water. Residents along Burrard Inlet are also concerned about the bright lights and noise pollution at night from the big ships and Drew said he’s urging Port Metro Vancouver to address the problem now. Information sessions in the second half of November shift further inland along the Trans

Mountain right-of-way, which runs through Burnaby, Coquitlam, Surrey and up the Fraser Valley near Highway 1. The pipeline was built nearly 60 years ago and homes, schools and other development has since sprung up along the route. But residents won’t know how close the new pipeline may come to their property until Kinder Morgan formally applies in late 2013 to build the $4.3-billion project and unveils the proposed corridor, which could deviate from the current one in some places. “They should definitely provide a clear route,” anti-pipeline activist Sheila Muxlow said. “It seems to us Kinder Morgan is going through this process in a backwards fashion.” Muxlow and others with the Pipe Up Network intend to

bring their own protest message to the meetings and press Kinder Morgan over the firm’s safety record and capacity to handle spills. The potential risk to groundwater aquifers from an oil spill in Chilliwack and Abbotsford will be a key issue, she said. “In Chilliwack we don’t have a backup plan for our water supply,” she said. “The water contamination risk alone is enough to really mobilize people to say ‘Whoa, that’s not

worth the risk.’” Others, she added, increasingly believe it’s wrong to “build more infrastructure that holds us hostage to a fossil-fuel based economy.” A spokesperson for Kinder Morgan said the company wants advice from residents on where the route should go, adding that will help guide the engineering and environmental teams planning the pipeline corridor. “We’re very early on,” said Lizette Parsons-

New support group quells the stigma of suicide Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

A new bereavement support group starting up in Chilliwack is specifically to help those touched by suicide of a loved one. One of the group facilitators, Joan Noel, lost her 29-year-old twin son, Dylan, to suicide in 2009. “After my son died I had so many unanswered questions and so much guilt,” she told The Progress. “It is the most horrific thing I have ever tried to deal with and I knew I needed to talk to someone.” In her grief, she reached out to the Chilliwack Hospice Society at first and attended a support group for those suffering the loss of a loved one. But still she had a burning need to share with others who had experienced the unique agony of losing someone who took their own life. The grieving mother tried to find one nearby, but the closest group met in Surrey. She attended to a few meetings and was wholly transformed by the experience from the beginning. “Suicide is such a hush-hush subject,” she said. “No one wants to talk about it.” In fact, it happens more than one would imagine. “I didn’t know that it happened so much, until it happened in my life.” No one wants to see their friends and family suffer further, so they tend to keep mum. But it turns out, sharing with others in a similar situation seems to lighten the load. “For me I needed to talk about it, to try to understand why he would do such a thing. I remember for months after my son died, I kept going over the last few days of his life. Trying to figure out what led to his decision. “I felt like a detective, going over ever little bit of information hoping to find a answer. I shared this at the support group in Surrey and another lady said she had done the same thing.” Suddenly it clicked. “I could relate to so many of the

people’s stories. Everyone’s story was different, but I found that I connected to everyone there in one way or another,” Noel said. “I learned so much from this support group.” It was a real education, too in the very basics of mental illness. “I thought if you had mental illness you heard voices in your head and had no control over your actions. I have since learned there are many forms of mental illness, like anxiety and depression.” Hospice program director Lucy Fraser noted there is still a societal stigma attached to suicide deaths, that doesn’t really exist otherwise, like in the case of a death by cancer or heart disease. It can even impede people from

seeking out that much-needed support. “The stigma isn’t even the biggest thing. It’s the unanswered questions. When a family member ends their life, the family is left with so many questions. What did we miss? What could we have done differently? Why didn’t we notice?” It’s emotional pain heaped on top of pain, in layers, Fraser said. Noel said she went through that exact process. “For the longest time I was looking for a note from my son. But I never got that.” He did text a friend to say that he just couldn’t live with the pain any longer. “I did not know how much pain

he was in, I just thought it was all normal life hurtles.” Noel decided to take decisive action to help ease that pain. She called the Chilliwack Mental Health Centre to see if they could help her get a support group going here. She met social worker Denise Armstrong, who is the Mental Health Liaison to the RCMP, and they got the ball rolling. Now the group is about to get started in Chilliwack. “I think this group will be very important. It helped me tremendously to have that support, although support groups aren’t for everyone.” Everyone’s story is different. But Noel said was pleased to

discover that it lessens the pain to share, and benefits her to help other people and hear their stories. “It gets people talking. You can relate and you say, ‘Ok, I don’t feel so bad now.’ “The pain never really goes away. It pops up daily. “But I found the more you share your story, the less it weighs you down.” Now the Chilliwack Suicide Bereavement Support Group is set to start shortly, and it will run for eight weeks, every Thursday night from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Hospice headquarters on Hodgins Avenue.

Healthy Living

Keep fit this holiday!

Christmas decorations will be making their debut, and the smell of fresh baked gingerbread cookies will soon be in the air. Sticking to a healthy eating plan and regular exercise routine can be a battle any day of the year. During the upcoming holidays, however, festive feasts, willpower-impairing spirits, and tempting chocolate truffles team up to challenge even the most resolute health nut. During the holiday frenzy, seemingly, the numbers on the bathroom scale can increase almost as fast as the bank balance dwindles. Fortunately, holiday weight gain is not inevitable. In fact, you can move toward your goal weight and increase your fitness level amid the festivities. Like any other time of the year, keeping fit and achieving a healthy body weight requires planning and effort. 1. Boost your workout routine Weight maintenance is a matter of balancing

guests. Keep your guests’ health in mind when preparing a meal. If you shouldn’t eat it, they probably shouldn’t eat it either. For an appetizer, try hummus and low fat crackers, or offer a plate of veggies and light dip. Instead of preparing fat-laden dishes, find creative ways to cut back on calories and fat. A low-fat cookbook is a great start to creating healthy meals. For dessert, try baked fruit with low fat ice cream. Your guests will thank you in January. When going to a dinner, offer to bring an appetizer or dessert (and make it healthy) so you won’t stray too far from your diet plan. 4. Plan your attack at the buffet table. The buffet table can be a dream come true or a worst nightmare. Before loading up your plate, take a look at all your options. A little of everything adds up to a lot of unnecessary 5.81” calories. Fill most of your plate withTrim: healthful salads, vegetables and lean proteins. To avoid

calories in and calories out. You can offset a few calorie dense appetizers or a piece of toffee pudding by kicking your workouts into high gear. Add high intensity bursts into your cardio sessions to scorch extra calories. When working with weights, try circuit training to get the most out of your limited gym time. Choose several full body exercises (think push-ups, or biceps curls in a squat position) and do them with little or no rest in between sets. The more muscles you move, the more calories you will burn. 2. Go for an after dinner walk The holidays are about spending time with family and friends. A great way to spend quality time with loved ones- and get a little exercise- is to go for a walk. Tour the neighbourhood and enjoy the display of lights. 3. Give the gift of heart healthy food. It seems that healthy cooking practices are often forgotten when preparing food for

Healthly Living

by...Tanja Shaw overfilling your plate, leave a small gap between each type of food- so that the plate is still visible. Eat slowly and wait at least 10 minutes with an empty plate before deciding if seconds are necessary.

5. Go easy on the cocktails. Alcohol is full of empty calories, and will weaken your self-control. Opt for lower calorie options: a glass of wine has about 120 calories, whereas a rum and eggnog has about 350 calories per glass. Drink a non-calorie beverage, such as water or tea, in between alcoholic drinks. You will save yourself the weight gain- and the hang over. Enjoy the holidays!

You completely redrew the map of breast cancer.

Sculpture theft leaves a hole Have you seen this bear? It’s an extremely heavy stone sculpture made of granite that has great sentimental value to a Chilliwack family. The Book Man owner Amber Shot said the bear sculpture was stolen from right outside their home on Thursday. “My husband carved it in his early 20s in Paris during a stone sculpting apprenticeship, and it has sat safely outside of his home ever since. “It is very heavy, and would require a very strong person, or two people to move it.” She’s reaching out to her community to see if anyone knows anything about the bear. “If you see it, or hear

of it, please let me know. Fingers crossed!” They’re hoping it gets returned, no questions asked. Contact metalwoodstone@gmail.com

Cancer breakthroughs need you. When BC Cancer Agency researchers revealed breast cancer should be thought of as 10 distinct diseases, a discovery that will revolutionize treatment and diagnosis, they didn’t do it alone.

Cataract Surgery in BC is now FREE! As of June 4, 2012 the Government of British Columbia will provide regular soft folding intraocular lenses at NO COST to residents of BC undergoring cataract surgery with valid MSP coverage.

With your donation to the BC Cancer Foundation, you become a partner with BC’s leading cancer researchers. As the fundraising partner of the BC Cancer Agency, the BC Cancer Foundation funds more cancer research in BC than any other charitable organization.

Typical wait times for those requiring cataract surgery are less than two months at Chilliwack General Hospital.

Help BC’s cancer researchers make their next breakthrough. Become a Partner in Discovery.

Chilliwack Cascades highlight local recruiting strategy

Dan Kinvig, Black Press

It’s remarkable, when you really get down to it. The No. 2-ranked women’s university basketball team in Canada is comprised entirely of players who hail from within a 60-kilometre radius of their campus. That team is the University of the Fraser Valley Cascades, and its distinctive composition is no accident. It’s a product of head coach Al Tuchscherer’s shoplocal recruiting strategy, which amounts to the basketball equivalent of the 100-Mile Diet. The roster features five players from Abbotsford, five from Chilliwack, and one each from Mission, Maple Ridge and Langley. Rookie for ward Shayna Litman hails from the farthest afield, and she’s from Coquitlam. This UFV squad certainly embodies the name and mandate of the institution to which it is attached. But most remarkable thing is, national championship contenders – which the Cascades most certainly are – aren’t usually built this way. That was the impression Tuchscherer was under back in 2006, as his team made the jump from the Canadian Colleges Athletics Association

(CCAA) to Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS). “We didn’t have any focus in how we were recruiting,” Tuchscherer recalled. “I was flying to Manitoba, flying to Ontario, talking to kids all over the country. I was doing what UBC and SFU were doing, saying, ‘How can we be these guys?’ And we weren’t having a lot of success getting kids into our program. “I remember coming back from a trip to Manitoba where a kid told me, ‘No, I’m going somewhere else.’ And I just said, ‘We’ve got to focus all our attention on the Fraser Valley.’ This is how it’s got to happen.” To revisit the food analogy, think of basketball players as an agricultural crop. The national powerhouses – the UBCs and SFUs – have the cachet to walk into the supermarket and pick the bestlooking produce off the shelves. Tuchscherer, at a fledgling program with comparatively limited resources, came to realize he needed to plant his own garden – sow the seed, fertilize and water it, before reaping a harvest. What that ended up looking like, in practical terms, was the Junior Cascades program. Established in 2007, the summer club system provided an avenue for Tuchscherer to connect with the best local athletes at a younger age, while providing guidance to enhance their development. Such an initiative requires an awful lot of patience, though. After making the playoffs their first two CIS seasons with a core

Chilliwack’s Kayli Sartori (No. 7) is a leader for the UFV Cascades women’s basketball team, ranked second in the nation. JOHN MORROW/ BLACK PRESS

of veterans who moved up from the college ranks, UFV went 4-19 in 2008-09 after the bulk of those players graduated. Then in 2009-10, they sank to 2-16 – dead last in Canada West – and Tuchscherer began to catch flak for his Fraser Valley-centric recruiting strategy. “People pretty close to the program were questioning whether this was the right route to take,” he said. “Even

a few years ago, I wasn’t sure it was going to work. “But we stuck to it.” But what if it didn’t work? What if UFV simply settled in as a second-tier program, forever chasing the UBCs of the world? “I think I would have had to pass the program along to somebody else,” Tuchscherer candidly admitted. “I don’t think I’d be able to be content being a .500 team year in and year

out. I don’t think that would work for me at all.” Things began to turn around in the summer of 2009, when Tuchscherer brought in what he considers a program-saving recruiting class featuring Junior Cascades alumni Aieisha Luyken, Nicole Wierks, Tessa Hart, Courtney Bartel and Sam Kurath. “I had never considered going to UFV at all,” said point guard

Luyken, now in her fourth year. “But the previous summer I had the opportunity to play for Al with the Junior Cascades. I just fell in love with his coaching style and the family atmosphere.” As rookies, Luyken and company weathered the last-place season of 2009-10, but Tuchscherer saw light at the end of the tunnel. These girls were hungry. If they weren’t shooting in the gym, they were in the weight room working out. The Cascades’ fortunes turned around in an awful hurry. Each of the past two seasons, they won a playoff series, qualified for the Canada West Final Four and advanced to the CIS regionals. Earning a national championship berth is still on their to-do list, but nationwide respect arrived this fall, as the Cascades debuted at No. 3 – a team record – in the first CIS coaches poll of the season. After the No. 2 Regina Cougars split a pair of games with the Saskatchewan Huskies on opening weekend, UFV leapfrogged them in the new rankings released Tuesday. “Oh my gosh, it’s so exciting,” sophomore forward Kayli Sartori enthused. “We’re over the moon. But then again, now you have all these teams knocking on your door, wanting to knock you down. “We’ve come so close to nationals the last two years now. Now it’s time for us to start making steps and getting there. There comes a point where we just have to do it, and that’s this year.” The Junior Cascades farm is fully functional, delivering a fresh crop

of recruits every year. Eleven of the 13 players on the active roster are alumni of the summer club. That’s produced a unique family atmosphere. These girls don’t go their separate ways after practice – they’re always together, whether having dinner, watching movies or playing board games. They also do a lot of charity work. On Halloween, fourth-year guard Alexa McCarthy spearheaded a walkand-knock campaign to collect non-perishable food items for the Abbotsford Food Bank. The team has also been known to show up en masse to donate blood, or serve food at soup kitchens. “It’s not that we have to be together or that Al’s making us,” Sartori said. “We grew up together, and we just love being around each other.” On Nov. 4, after the Cascades opened the regular season with a weekend sweep of the Mount Royal Cougars on the road, Tuchscherer took his team to Peters’ Drivein, an iconic Calgary restaurant. As they sat at the outdoor tables and feasted on fries and milkshakes, the girls started reminiscing about their days with the Junior Cascades – reliving road trips, recalling past wins and losses. “It was just awesome to stand back from it a little bit,” Tuchscherer said. “I’m looking around, and I’m thinking, ‘We’re going to be pretty freaking hard to beat.’ We’ve been together for such a long time.

The local lad, who got his start wearing out the Middlemiss family Nintendo Wii, took to a real court for his first competitive tournament Oct. 21. He took out a Tennis BC membership and

entered the U-9 division at a tournament in North Vancouver (Hollyburn), where he made it all the way to the finals. He lost the last match against the topranked player in the province, but it was an epic battle. One particular rally was almost 50 shots long.

A coach who witnessed the match dubbed gave Middlemiss a new nickname, the Wall. The youngster entered the People’s Court tournament in Coquitlam the following weekend and blew away the competition. Middlemiss faced the No. 3 ranked U-9 player in the final and took the championship. Middlemiss will be back in action Nov. 18,

again in Coquitlam. On Nov. 24 he’ll enter a tournament at the Vancouver Lawn and Tennis Club. Middlemiss is coached by Tess McFayden at First Step Tennis Chilliwack and has also benefited from baseball training provided by University of British Columbia pitching coach Shawn Corness.

For anyone who’s been wondering where ex-Chilliwack Bruin Ryan Howse is this season, the answer is Utah. The Calgary Flames prospect is with the Utah Grizzlies of the ECHL where, coming into the weekend, he had one goal (his only point) in six games. Ex-Bruin Roman Horak is still doing quite well with the AHL’s Abbotsford Heat.

The Peewee Jamboree hockey tournament was once one of the greatest minor hockey tournaments in BC, drawing the best teams and players from across the land. Time has eroded the tournament to the point where it is a mere shadow of its former self. But a team of volunteers within Chilliwack Minor Hockey stand determined to restore it to its former glory. They want help. The tournament has been around for 54 years (or 55, depending on who you talk to), generating many memories. CMHA wants to hear

isn’t our first tournament because we’ve done them at the atom and novice levels. But it is our first peewee tournament and we want it be a good one.” By putting out a call for stories and pictures, Wheeler and company hope to get people talking about the Jamboree. The more buzz the better as work feverishly to make up for lost time. “I want to hear, ‘I played back in 1982 and it was the greatest experience,’ or ‘It was the first time my Dad saw me score’ or ‘I still come to the rink and look up at the banner,’ Wheeler said when asked what he hopes to see. “I want to hear stories that make people care about the tournament and most of all I want stories from people who were in the tournament. We have such a strong tradition and you hate to see something like that slide away.” Stories and pics can be sent to the Progress spor ts depar tment by email at sports@ theprogress.com or in person at 45860 Spadina Avenue. Stories and pics can also be posted to the Peewee Jamboree Facebook page (search Chilliwack Peewee Jamboree 2012 to find it).

Solid organization combined with community support gives the perception of a firstclass tournament. Firstclass tournaments draw top-notch teams, and that’s something else that’s been lacking in recent times. The Jamboree used to be the top destination. Not any longer. “You want to draw people from as far away as possible so you’re not facing the same teams you see all season long,” Wheeler said. “They have one in Quebec that’s a really big deal and people come from everywhere for that. Obviously we don’t have the same population to draw from, but for Western Canada we were there, and we want to get back to it.” Big tournaments have draws beyond the tournament itself. This year’s Jamboree will include a skills competition and an assortment of prizes and draws and tourney organizers are forging a relationship with sports equipment giant Reebok. “We started working on this in May, where most of the tournaments are just starting up now,” Wheeler noted. “The parents doing it this year, this

Josh Hansen (20 years old) and Tanner Cochrane (19 years old) are trying to show the teams youngsters how its done. “I’d have to give the title to Brodyn Nielson right now,” Hanson laughed. “His moustache is very distinct. Cochrane’s got a little soul-patch that’s pretty good.” Not all the Chiefs are going to be able to keep up. Sixteen-year-old Mitch Skapski is having a tough time with facial hair, as is 17-yearold sophomore forward Garrett Forster. “Forster and Skapski are young, so they get a break,” Hanson said. “Austin Plevy (18 years old) can’t make it happen. He’s working on it, but it might be a few more weeks.”

45860 Spadina Ave. 604-702-5552

Feb. 17, 1921-Nov. 5, 2012 “Well done, good and faithful servant… enter thou into the joy of the Lord” Husband to Mary for 66 years, father to eight who loved him so, grandfather to 28 who sat ZACHARIAS on his knee, great-grandfather to 29 who grasped his hands, great-great grandfather to 1 who rested in his arms, “Dad” to many who needed his love, teacher to countless hearts, friends as impossible to count as the sands of the sea… Those left behind now mourn the loss of one that today sings happily in heaven’s choir and worships at his Saviour’s knee. Born to Abram & Margaret Zacharias in Rosthern Saskatchewan at home on the farm, the youngest of 10 siblings, Bill enjoyed growing up surrounded by family and hard work. War became part of his world as a teenager; being of Mennonite descent Bill found himself serving his country in alternative service on Vancouver Island in the forestry division. During this time on the Island, he discovered his need for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and decided to devote his life to teaching others about God’s Word. Here he also became “pen-pals” with his bunkmate’s cousin whom he had never met despite living just six miles from her all his life. In 1946 he married this same pen-pal Mary Elias. In her he found a partner who would share his passion for ministry, for family and for life. During their years in

Saskatchewan Bill pastored at various churches and taught in Bible School. In 1964 they made the decision to move west to Chilliwack, B.C. With a family allowance cheque they made a deposit on a home on Young Rd, and later moved to a farm on Lickman Rd. In addition to working this land, Bill did various jobs around town including night shifts at Eaton’s, Safeway and York Farms. They also enjoyed a “Donut House” business venture which found the whole family in aprons frying donuts and serving coffee. His passion for teaching the Word of God was still first and foremost; after assisting in the preaching and teaching at a small church in town, the family joined Chilliwack Alliance in 1970. He taught the adult Sunday School class there for over 40 years! After moving from the farm in 1974 they found a brand new home with Sardis Park as their backyard. Later they would move to Herrling Island and then to a home on Wells Rd. where he happily tended his flowers and loved to mow his lawn. His retirement years brought a hobby back to life. Bill always had a passion for woodworking and was thrilled to have the time and space to explore this in his 70’s & 80’s. His days were spent wielding the scroll saw and many weekends were spent with Mary at local malls and craft fairs, selling his beautiful country pine creations and sharing his smile with all who passed by. Upon his “2nd retirement” from woodworking, his love of creating things continued as he crafted thousands of small wooden cars to be sent in “shoebox” gifts overseas with Samaritan’s Purse. The passing of this man, this giant in the life of all who

knew him, leaves a hole so great that one would think it’s impossible to go on. Except for the fact that he taught us all better than this… he taught us to rejoice in his passing, because “to be absent in the body is to be present with Christ”. And why, oh why, would we ever be sad about that? Left then to “rejoice” is his wife Mary, his eight children David, Paul, Judy, Daniel, Dennis, Leonard, Rodney & Lois, his daughters and sons-in law (and in heart), a fruitful collection of grandchildren, great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson, numerous nieces and nephews and an abundance of those who considered him “Dad”,“Teacher”, “Friend”. In heaven he joined one son, Jonathan, his parents, all his siblings, some nephews and nieces and many friends. On November 16, 2012, all who knew and loved him are invited to Chilliwack Alliance Church to celebrate his life. Viewing in the chapel from 10:00-11:00am; Graveside Service 11:30 (Vedder View Gardens); Celebration of Life at 1:30pm. If you would like to donate to a cause close to Bill’s heart, please consider supporting the “Shoebox” ministry of Samaritan’s Purse. Bye-bye Sweet-heart, byebye Daddy; you went first, as was your hope, so you could show us all around… we look forward to meeting you there. placing an
