B.C. retreats on flu vaccine edict, for now No punishment for health workers who refuse shots, masks Jeff Nagel Black Press
The province has granted a one-year reprieve from its directive that health workers wear a mask this flu season if they refuse to be vaccinated. Those who don’t comply won’t be disciplined, deputy health minister Graham Whitmarsh said in a Nov. 30 letter to health authorities. Enforcement that was to begin Dec. 1 is on hold while the ministry carries out more consultation with unions and other affected staff to help determine how best to fully implement the flu control policy, he said. Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall gave the needle-or-mask order this summer, citing an inadequate flu immunization rate of less than 50 per cent among B.C. health care workers despite free shots and much encouragement. But unions denounced the policy as a privacy violation, saying the threat of discipline to compel unvaccinated workers to wear masks would have forced them to disclose their decision not to get a flu shot. Those who did get vaccinated were expected to wear badges or pins to assure patients they were immunized. Health Sciences Association of B.C. president Reid Johnson said the union encourages its members to be vaccinated but defends their right to choose. Continued: FLU/ p5
The streamlined No. 1 Vedder bus route now runs every 20 minutes in a north-south direction, which is the main reason why some users said the Chilliwack transit system is better than it used to be. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Riders want express bus between Chilliwack and Abby Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
The new Vedder-Yale corridor bus that comes every 20 minutes in Chilliwack is a big hit, according to the 2012 Transit Survey. A full 60 per cent of recent survey respondents said the fact that the No. 1 Vedder bus runs more frequently was the “main reason” why bus service is better now than before transit improvements were implemented last July. Rod Sanderson, city transportation manager reported to Chilliwack council Tuesday that 350 surveys were completed aboard buses, at the mall, and at city hall. He shared select results of the survey with council, reflecting data and numbers
collected by city and transit officials over the past five months. A solid 55 per cent said they were “very interested” in an express bus service between Abbotsford and Chilliwack. That number jumps to 74 per cent, if the 19 per cent who said they were “somewhat interested” is added. The survey took a crack at rating the transit system now compared to before, with its streamlined routes, more direct service to Walmart and Stream and UFV, and more. A total of 40 per cent rated it either a little better or much better. Asked to name the main reason transit is worse now compared to before July 2012, they cited reasons like: nearest stop too far to walk (32 per cent) or
areas not being served (21 per cent) or 18 per cent who said the bus routes and stops had moved and changed. Fourteen per cent said it was “less accessible” for seniors and disabled riders. A full 34 per cent of respondents asked for service improvements that would see increased service hours, starting earlier or going later in the day. Another 32 per cent asked for better neighbourhood route service to reduce the distance they have to walk to a bus stop. There was a seven per cent rise in ridership over the same period last year. “So that’s encouraging,” said Sanderson. He described the No. 1 route as carrying most of the weight of the system.
Councillor Ken Popove noted the increase in ridership. “That’s great, but still in neighbourhoods sometimes we can see buses lumbering around with no one in them.” Sanderson said they’ll be reviewing survey results and will “geolocate” where some of the issues are arising with senior and mobility challenged transit riders. He said they’re looking to make further improvements in 2014. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said one of the challenges is how buses will be full in the early mornings, but ridership will see a lag by midday, before getting busy again in late afternoon. “Some people asked why not use smaller buses,” but it’s not that simple.

Incinerator plan called an ‘attack’ on private enterprise Robert Freeman The Progress
Metro Vancouver’s incineratorbased waste disposal plan has raised the ire of independent contractors in the Lower Mainland and homebuilders in the Fraser Valley. Sharon Gaetz, chair of the Fraser Valley Regional District, which is adamantly opposed to Metro Vancouver’s waste-to-energy plan, could not be reached for comment Wednesday on a possible alliance. The Independent Contractors and Businesses Association along with the Canadian Home Builders Association of the Fraser Valley called on Metro Vancouver Wednesday to “step back from its heavy-handed and high cost plan.” “This plan isn’t about reducing waste in Metro Vancouver,”
ICBA president Philip Hochstein said. “It’s about attacking private enterprise to create a government monopoly over waste management in order to fuel the new taxpayerfunded incinerator they want to use to burn garbage.” That’s an argument the FVRD has made in its opposition to the plan — that once built an incinerator will become “a beast that must be fed” more and more waste, and thus work against more environment-friendly recycling. While the FVRD’s main concern has been the impact of incinerator emissions on air quality, Hochstein said contractors and businesses are most concerned that an “unelected level of government is legislating out of existence private sector businesses in order to create a monopoly.”
He said under Metro Vancouver’s plan construction companies and homeowners will also face a “minimum” 43 per cent hike is solid waste fees by 2017. Jan Field, executive director of the Canadian Home Builders Association of the Fraser Valley, said those higher costs “will end up being folded into already high housing costs.” “This is coming at a time when families in the Lower Mainland are already struggling with the cost of housing,” Field said. Hochstein said construction companies will face further cost hikes as the Metro Vancouver plan will force all solid waste to Metro Vancouver sites. Currently, construction companies have the choice of hauling waste to “costcompetitive” recycling and dis-
posal sites in the Fraser Valley or Washington State. “We have an unelected and unaccountable Metro government that’s pushing through a solid waste plan that’s a step backwards for our region,” Hochstein said. “A government garbage monopoly will only serve the interests of Metro itself,” he added, and “will impact the environment and leave the tax bill in the hands of the taxpayers.” “It must be stopped,” he said. A public awareness poll by ThinkHQ found that 75 per cent of respondents in the Fraser Valley were not confident that Metro Vancouver could prevent problems like the recent fly ash incident in Cache Creek. About 1,800 tonnes of fly ash from a Burnaby incinerator was
mistakenly deposited at the Cache Creek landfill, prompting an investigation by the BC Environment Ministry. It was the FVRD that first raised the alarm about elevated levels of cadmium, a carcinogen, in the fly ash deposited at Cache Creek. Hochstein said it’s only recently that the B.C. construction industry twigged to the implications of Metro Vancouver’s plan. “I think the industry is only slowly coming to realize the implications of the waste management plan,” he said. “They want to eliminate the private sector from the mix,” he said. “Who thinks government can run anything better than the private sector?” rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2
Four awarded Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal Bank protection too expensive and challenging: consultant report Robert Freeman The Progress
Four “unique” Chilliwackians were presented with the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee medal Monday night by Chilliwack MLA John Les. “It’s my hope all of you will agree these four people are pillars of the community,” Les said to the crowd of about 60 friends and family gathered at the Coast Hotel. The four recipients are: Marian Dyck, known for her extensive volunteer work; museum curator Ron Denman; Wayne Massey, the “driving force” behind sheltering the homeless in Chilliwack; and Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada and the province’s sole dairy technologist. Les said Marian Dyck came to Canada from the Netherlands unable to speak English, but rose to a senior position at the investment firm of Odlum and Brown while volunteering at a host of volunteer groups. “There are people who progress to positions of leadership and giving of themselves, I think that describes Marian,” Les said. Dyck commented on Chilliwack’s reputation for volunteerism saying that volunteer services “are a treasure” to have in any community. Les said Ron Denman came to Chilliwack in 1985 from rainy Prince Rupert to become the community’s museum curator. Since then he has overseen the museum’s move to the old

City Hall building, the publication of more than a dozen community histories, the move to embrace new electronic technologies and the collection of more than 10,000 historical pictures. “All due to the professionalism and dedication of one person - Ron Denman,” Les said. But Denman, a quiet, modest man said preserving a community’s history “is not the job of a single person, it’s the job of the whole community.” He also thanked his “wonderful” staff for their work at the museum and archives. “It’s a real honour to receive this,” Denman said.
Les said he chose Wayne Massey for the medal because he was the “driving force” behind Ruth and Naomi’s Mission that provides homes and meals for the homeless. Massey said he accepted the medal “on behalf of thousands of volunteers and supporter who have helped Ruth and Naomi’s give hope and joy every day to a lot of people who need it most.” “We offer hope and a chance for a new life through the message of the gospel,” he said. Les said he chose Roger Pannett because he is the province’s sole dairy technologist and the volunteer weather
observer in Chilliwack. Without his signature, Les said, the 540 dairy farms in B.C. can’t operate, and without his weather reports Chilliwack farmers wouldn’t have much to talk about. “Agriculture and weather are closely connected, it’s the one thing farmers like to talk about most,” Les said. Pannett, a shy man typical of many born in the United Kingdom, said he was “overwhelmed and overcome” by the award. “It’s a great honour for me to receive this,” he said. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

There is no evidence the east dike in Chilliwack is vulnerable as a result of ongoing erosion at Carey Point. That was one of the key findings from an independent consultant’s report from Kerr Wood Leidal Associates delivered by Stefan Joyce to Chilliwack council on Tuesday at city hall. “A massive upstream change would be necessary to threaten the dike,” Joyce said. City officials hired Kerr Wood Leidal, after committing to taking a second look at the level of risk to the east dike posed by the erosion caused by upstream channel changes. As a result of an emergency berm being breached by a pounding current last spring, it caused overland flooding and crop damages last summer in the unprotected areas, and the city vowed to get more information. But any kind of bank protection at that location would be “challenging and expensive,” according to the new findings. An earlier report by Northwest Hydraulic Consultants had come to the same conclusion, that bank protection would be extremely costly, up to $4 million to rip rap, and more than $100,000 annually to maintain because of a massive scour hole. About 135 properties are outside the city’s dike protection system, with about 80 privately owned properties. “The biggest news from my perspective is that the report confirmed the east dike is not at risk,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. The east dike is located about half a kilometre away from the river. The report also confirmed the fears of city staff that there was no way to go down deeply enough with rip rap and flood protection material to avoid the bank erosion.

tifully decorated trees and lights. Chilliwack Rona is generously stepping up to the plate again by offering 10 per cent discount on all December 8 purchases with every donation of $5 or more to the event, A Christmas to Remember. “Last year we helped 25 families but this year we’ve increased it to 30,” said Kenny Ray, assistant manager at Chilliwack Rona.
Many local businesses like the Chilliwack Progress, The Overwaitea Group and more have come on board to support for the worthy effort. Ray said he got to witness before his very eyes what a difference it makes in people’s lives. “I got teary-eyed last year walking a little girl, her mom and sister to the car at the end of the night.” The young girl looked up at him
and said it was “best Christmas” she would ever have. “I told her that when she gets older she can do this for someone else. To pay it forward in some way. “You always remember what nice things people have done for you.” The local Rona official said things are tighter this year. “It’s rough times for many fami-
lies, working families as well. We thought this would be a direct way of helping people in Chilliwack.” A Christmas to Remember fundraiser is Dec. 8 only at the Rona Store in Chilliwack, with 10 per cent taken off at the till for every $5+ donation. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Louise Piper remains school district chair Elections as the Chilliwack school board Tuesday night brought little change. Louise Piper was re-elected chair of the board and Walter Krahn was re-elected vice-chair. Barry Neufeld was re-elected chair of the BC School Trustees Association, and Krahn was elected as his alternate. Doug McKay will represent the board at the BC Public School Employers’ Association. Three trustees were nominated for the alternate’s position, but all three declined. Piper agreed to let her name stand for the position, if she is not in a conflict of interest. School district staff will report their findings at the next board meeting Dec. 11.
Flu shot reprieve Flu from Front “If they choose not to be vaccinated for any number of factors – including experiences with bad side effects to vaccines and fundamental, philosophical, or religious objections to vaccination – that is their right,” he said. Rather than enforcing a season-long order to mask up, he said, that step can be taken during an actual flu outrbreak, along with other options such as relocating staff or having them stay home. Despite the controversy, more health workers did roll up their sleeves for the needle this fall. According to Kendall’s office, more than 60 per cent of full-time health workers are now vaccinated. And Fraser Health reported an even higher rate of more than 70 per cent of full-time staff vaccinated as of last Thursday, a number that’s expected to climb further. A ministry spokesperson called the decision not to enforce in the transitional year a “balanced and measured approach.” The rule was to apply to hospitals, long-term care homes and other publicly funded health facilities and included health authority staff, doctors, volunteers, students, contractors and vendors who work in patient contact areas.

Police flush suspect in towing company’s lot Chilliwack RCMP officers were “surprised” by a theft-from-auto suspect discovered in a towing company’s gated impound lot in downtown Chilliwack early Tuesday morning. The two officers had offered to do a foot patrol of AJ Towing’s compound on Nowell Street in downtown
Chilliwack, a recent target of thieves, while the tow truck driver answered a call. As one of the officers was shining his flashlight into a vehicle at about 1:45 a.m., someone jumped up from the back seat, allegedly in the middle of trying to steal the vehicle’s stereo. “As a police officer, you
really have no idea what you can be faced with on patrol in the middle of the night,” Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. “This (encounter) would have come as a huge surprise to the officer, and thankfully the suspect was arrested without incident,” she said. The 26-year-old suspect,

Sanderson added that while fleet mobility is essential, Chilliwack doesn’t have a large enough fleet to have more than one-size bus. Mayor Gaetz said many riders commented they didn’t know that a monthly transit pass could be written off, and that taxi saver coupons for cab fare is available for about half the price for those eligible. “There are lots of advantages of riding the bus,” she said. “I’m glad we now have the opportunity to put our bikes on the rack in the front of the bus before they go up the hill to Promontory. It’s working well.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

No bank protection outside dike “There is a very high probability that it would be just washed away, meaning that it wouldn’t be protected anyway,” said Gaetz. There is one protruding spur of land on the downstream end, which once it erodes, will give way to more bank stability. Plus the scour hole is moving downstream. But in the meantime there will be more erosion in the short term. “It’s probably not the best news for Carey Point residents,” the mayor conceded about report findings. “But our commitment as the city is to work with them and lend them all the technical advice we can.” But not bank protection because they are outside the dike system. “We have limited financial resources,” she said. “It’s way too expensive for us to undertake without support from senior levels of government.” Because some of the Carey Point residents are at higher risk for flooding in the unprotected areas, they’re responsible for their own protection. “That’s the risk in moving close to the river. The river does what the river wants to do.”

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is appointing nine new provincial court justices and launching a pilot project to reduce the wait time for hearing child protection cases. Attorney General Shirley Bond announced Tuesday that two judges will be assigned to work with Chief Judge Thomas Crabtree on the child pro-
tection case management project this spring, and a second pilot program to reduce criminal court waiting times. Two of the new judges will be assigned to Surrey, the busiest provincial court in the province. One each will go to Port Coquitlam, North Vancouver, Vancouver, Kamloops-Okanagan and the Northeast district. The changes are based on a review of B.C. court

True test to come
The Chilliwack

R AESIDE
The widened Port Mann Bridge and freeway opened for business Saturday. The real test came Monday, when commuters came back after the weekend lull. All traffic reports stated that there was virtually no lineup to get onto the bridge, something that hasn’t been seen regularly during rush hour since the 1960s. The new bridge is eight lanes wide, up substantially from the five that the old bridge offered. In each direction, there are three lanes for regular traffic, and one for buses and car pools. For the first time ever, commuters from this side of the river who carpool are being rewarded. The freeway widening project is not yet complete north of the river, and there will be line-ups for commuters in many spots from Coquitlam through to Vancouver. That’s the main reason the bridge toll is being set at $1.50 for cars for the first year, for those who register by Feb. 28, 2013. The big test of the Port Mann project will come Saturday, when the tolling begins. As there are 20 free trips for those who registered with TrEO by Nov. 30, traffic volumes likely won’t change too much in December. However, it is almost certain that there will be more drivers heading to the Pattullo Bridge when tolling begins, especially as the South Fraser Perimeter Road (now known as Highway 17) is open from 176 Street to an area close to the Pattullo. Fraser Valley residents who regularly use Highway 1 will have to make a choice — avoid the tolls and get stuck in the lineup for the Pattullo, or use the Port Mann, pay the toll and get to their destinations more quickly. The same option will face drivers from north of the Fraser who commute here for work. Neither option is very desirable, but there aren’t many others. The bus service will only serve a few people at this point in time, and is of little use to those who commute here, given the minimal number of available connections. The next few months will be a key test period for bridge users. ~ Black Press

Will truth be the next victim on Deficit Hill? VICTORIA – Whatever happens in the provincial election five months from now, taxpayers should insist that it be the last spring vote. Now I know this isn’t sexy like the horse race of popularity polls so loved by the TV news. But integrity of public financial information is the next vital step in democratic reform, even more important than scheduled election dates. And the B.C. tradition of tabling untested election budgets, shutting down the legislature and firing up the campaign buses, has to end. The B.C. Liberals are on track to surpass the NDP on fudge-it budgets, having put millions into TV ads that insist the 2013 budget will struggle into the black. This is the hill Christy Clark has chosen to die on. Glen Clark set the modern bar

with his 1996 election budget. After a run of red ink, it conjured a tidy little surplus that helped the NDP squeak out a win over the plaid-shirted Gordon Campbell. Campbell’s noisy exit had its roots in his 2009 fudge-it budget, which clung to an outdated $500-million deficit foreTom cast that had FLETCHER already melted down along with banks, auto makers and U.S. real estate. After the election, British Columbians found out we were really $2.8 billion in the red. Not one to waste a good crisis, Campbell ordered the harmonized sales tax. Now Premier Clark and
Finance Minister Mike de Jong are proposing to balance the budget and shut down the HST money machine. Clark gave a speech in Coquitlam the day before last week’s budget update, warning it “won’t be pretty.” And it’s not. In September the current-year deficit forecast jumped above $1 billion, largely due to a glut of natural gas. The latest update pushed it near $1.5 billion. Natural gas royalties are bumping along the bottom, no big change there. But now coal prices and shipments are down, and a slow real estate market has pinched the flow of cash from Bill Vander Zalm’s legacy, the property purchase tax. I erred in a previous column, saying this year’s deficit is partly due to a staged repayment of federal HST transition money. Not so.
That entire $1.6 billion was booked in last year’s budget, pushing that deficit to a record $3 billion. This means the current $1.5 billion bleeder is based strictly on current revenues, debt servicing and spending. So how is this sucking chest wound going to suddenly heal next spring? De Jong provided an early version of his answer in his September financial statement. Amazingly, it projects a recovery of more than $100 million in natural gas royalties next year. Hmmm. Liquefied natural gas exports to Asia are still years away, and the U.S., our only current energy export customer, is developing its own huge shale gas and shale oil reserves. In another forecasted miracle, sales tax revenue is expected to dip by a mere $120 million as the old provincial sales tax returns

next year. In 2014 it is projected to bounce right back to where it is today, around $6.1 billion. That’s odd. When former finance minister Kevin Falcon announced the transition back to PST last May, he described annual revenue loss of about $500 million the first year, and more than $600 million the next. Granted, business investment credits and HST rebates to the poor also end, saving the government a pile of cash as this significant tax reform dies. But it still looks like another fudge-it budget, designed to help another premier avoid the political graveyard at the foot of Deficit Hill.

Is there still room for ‘gentle living’? die and that seemed to be the fate of Chilliwack and wiser heads dictated that growth should begin in an entirely new area east of the old. So began the almost frantic development of residential and business opportunities with the support of councils an open door to all proposals. This meant that the old city (now upgraded to that status) was allowed to grow weaker and sadder with little or no attempt by councils of the day to take action other wait for the final demise. When city, provincial and federal developments came they were built into an already dying community and did little to help. There became less and less reason to go “downtown” because there were so few stores while brand names were busy building in Sardis so it was only a matter of time before it fell into what we see today. There always was a Sardis
but the Sardis of today include Promontory, Garrison with more development of residential properties to come with all of the required services. The proposed plan for the revitalization of Chilliwack has been solid in the minds of many players for a long time and I doubt there is room for even the slightest wriggle so I do not think a referendum would work unless it guarantees sufficient revenue quickly for all of the players. Is it what we wish for Chilliwack, do we care, would we have “peace in the Valley”? I doubt it, but what some of us do have is a memory that binds us but would not work in today’s world. Final thought: by the time the new plan becomes a reality maybe Sardis will be looking a little sad so will there be a swing back to Chilliwack, or maybe we can financially support two cities.

I read with great interest the letter from Mr. Shaw (A call for downtown referendum, Progress, Nov. 27). I remember the Chilliwack of which he speaks and perhaps for a longer time. I arrived here directly in 1957 with my husband and children not through planning but by circumstance. We knew no one but felt immediately the atmosphere of “gentle living,” which sounds foolish in the Chilliwack of today. Much of that feeling was due to the sensitivity of the City Fathers of the day who presided, they had clued into the wishes of the people. The hub of the town was Five Corners, the majority of the businesses were owned and operated by families who lived here and extended into adjacent areas all serving the public needs of the day. Having said that I realize that without growth things wither and

Run the B.C. ferry flight on natural gas Given the fact that British Columbia has vast reserves of natural gas, the BC Ferry Corporation should seriously consider converting/ replacing the fleets diesels to natural gas. CNG (compressed natural gas) is an excellent solution to the high costs of diesel fuel, air
pollution, global warming and the high price of travelling on BC’s ferries. Natural gas costs onethird of the price of diesel fuel and burns much cleaner. I am aware that the cost of converting/ replacing the diesels on BC ferries may be prohibitive but with
huge amounts of natural gas available it would pay for itself in the long run. We do have the technology to do this. Conversion of the ferries to natural gas would have a big impact on the environment with regards to air pollution and it would reduce our dependence on fossil
fuels. Natural gas would dramatically reduce the operating costs of the ferries which would be reflected in the price tickets, thereby, increasing ridership of BC ferries. A win-win solution for all!
For most people Christmas is supposed to be a time of happiness and joy. A celebration and an excitement of the new year to come. Filled with dreams and a little bit of hope that we get to where we’ve worked towards all year. But the harsh reality of it is, with this economy that we live in and face each day, life creates many struggles and hardships that can bring many small businesses to a screeching halt. This is a story about a little Christmas miracle that truly was granted, and I wanted to share it with you, our community. At Vedder Mountain Grille I recently met an amazing woman who over the past three years has strived to make best of an old building reaching close to 100 years old. She leased it and
remodeled it and did everything she could to open a fantastic little gem of a restaurant, making every menu item with love. She had huge hopes to make it big in the small community of Yarrow. A hard task to do, but with an amazing staff and close friendship in the little community, she has kept Vedder Mountain Grille open and going strong for close to three years. Recently things had changed for the worse, the doors were supposed to close Sunday November, 25 at 3 p.m. Which meant the end of Vedder Mountain Grille and the end of many amazing peoples jobs. We all kept our spirits up, hoped for the best and remained positive. By 2:30 that afternoon we got the great news that a miracle man had bought
the building and saved not only the day but the Vedder Mountain Grille and all of our jobs. What more could any of us ask for but for this to become a reality? I asked myself that today. So I wrote this letter to you all. To show that with a little hope and prayer, miracles do come true at Christmas. I wanted to personally thank you, Secret Santa. We love you. Vedder Mountain Grille will be keeping its doors open. Please check us out soon and try one of our amazing home-cooked meals. I can promise that you won’t regret it! Also a huge thank you to everyone for your love and support these past years and especially these last few months. Heather Hornall

number of students who don’t complete their high school education a year after their expected graduation date. One group that is overrepresented in not finishing high school includes students who attend an Alternate Education school. In order to learn more about these young people’s experiences Marie with school, Amos Fred Chou, a Trinity Western University Master’s student, was tasked with helping youth study the phenomena themselves. He is using Participant Action Research, a method of research that aims to have the population under study to participate in the creation and interpretation of the research. Instead of researchers deciding what questions need to be asked and answered, those on the front-line can drive the direction of the research. Fred’s goal is to ensure “the voices of youth are properly represented” and is currently meeting with eight young researchers to teach research skills and ethics. The second half of the project, which will begin second semester, is to send the newly trained, adolescent co-researchers out to collect information from their peers and sort it into themes. Fred reports that the students who volunteered to participate are really enthusiastic about the project, and see it as an opportunity to help other youth. In fact, the team has named themselves “Raising Hope”, since the aim of the project is to improve the experiences of other young people in the school system. Fred reports that his young co-researchers have expressed how important this project is and are looking forward to having their voices, and those of their peers, heard. Continued: Young/ p15

Giving young people tools to tell their story The young people involved appreciate their experiences in the alternate school system, and want to be able to express what helped them stay connected and successful in school. I used to work at the Education Centre, so I know how hard the staff (at all of our Alt Ed sites) works to build relationships and meet the needs of the students. There are as many different stories leading to Alternate Education streams as there are young people enrolled, but hopefully this project will identify themes that will guide how we provide educational services for all young people. All young people in our community are future voters, parents,
and business owners. The greater the degree we empower them to contribute and give them opportunities to have their voices
and have them heard and valued by current decision-makers.

Canadian Blood Services’ annual ‘Bleed and Feed’ is back Third annual event aids local food bank Canadian Blood Services’ annual ‘Bleed and Feed’ is back for the third year in a row
with the goal of fulfilling 14,000 holiday miracles for B.C. and Yukon residents.
The program, in partnership with Food Banks BC, is counting on B.C. residents to
become “miracle workers” by making more than 14,000 blood donations between Dec. 1 and Jan. 2 and bringing in non-perishable
food items for local food banks to help alleviate the hunger felt by nearly 100,000 people. “We’re so pleased our member food banks
across B.C. can partner again with Canadian Blood Ser vices in this unique and collaborative initiative,” said Laura Lansink,

Executive Director, Food Banks BC. “It’s a win-win proposition for people who want to help fulfil not one but two miracles in their community this holiday season.” B.C. residents can book a donation appointment by visiting blood.ca or calling 1-888 2 DONATE (1-888-2366283). Donated food items will be collected Dec. 1 to 31 in specially marked Bleed & Feed food collection boxes located in the front waiting area of blood donor clinics across the province. Food collected in Chilliwack will be donated to the Chilliwack Community Food Bank - Salvation Army. “Unfortunately, the need for blood never takes a holiday and neither does hunger,” said Ed Yee, Director of Donor and Clinic Services for the B.C. and Yukon region of Canadian Blood Services. “Many families will be celebrating the holidays in hospital this year, while others struggle to have a meal. We hope to rally B.C. residents together and make the season brighter for more local families in need.” Blood is a lifeline for many people during the festive season, including car accident victims with major bleeding or individuals who need a liver transplant, cardiovascular surgery or cancer treatment. A blood donation is the perfect gift. It costs nothing and it’ll give someone a holiday miracle. Upcoming clinics in Chilliwack include: • Dec. 10, 2 to 7 p.m. – Broadway Church Gymnasium, 46611 Maple Avenue • Dec. 24, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. – Bernard Elementar y School, 45465 Bernard Avenue

Stan Nickel’s career in survey has brought both challenges and rewards. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Stan Nickel: Building a life in Chilliwack Although Stan Nickel was born, bred and raised in our fair city, his roots are firmly planted in Russia. As Mennonites, Stan’s great-grandparents and grandparents left that country with a dream of freedom and prosperity and eventually settled in Saskatchewan. The poor economy of the ‘Dirty 30s’, coupled with severe drought conditions caused many of these re-settled Mennonite families to leave the prairies. His mother’s family relocated to Abbotsford in 1944 while his father’s family moved to Greendale three years later. A year after the Nickel family moved to Greendale, the Fraser River breached a weakened dike and the community was flooded. The family home floated in 12 feet of flood water and moved across the Keith Wilson ditch and road and settled upright in the adjacent farm field. Without a home and in the midst of this disaster, his father’s family was directed to join other evacuees at a disaster relief camp that was set up at the Abbotsford Airport. “Dad got temporary work at a berry processing plant where mom also worked and this was where they first met,” he said. Stan grew up in a loving home and enjoyed a rather rural lifestyle. The family had a home near the Hope River where they raised a cow, chickens and a horse. “My days were spent swimming or riding my bike. There were always lots of adventures to be had. We also had lots of corn to hoe and wood piles that had to be moved. Dad even had me operating a small farm tractor before I was 13 years old,” he said, with an earnest smile. It was also around this same time that Stan discovered motorcycles. “They became a uniquely, entertaining distraction for me,” he chuckled. He enjoyed school and was a good student but by the time that he hit high school, Stan was confronted with the usual teenage conflicts and distractions which ultimately led to his leaving school without graduating. “This was something that I did regret but eventually, I was
presented with an opportunity to do survey work; something that I found I liked to do. I needed professional accreditation to get into it and this became my motivation for getting my GED.” In 1970, Stan took on a temporary job with the Ministry of Transport, working as part of their survey crew during the construction of the Chilliwack airport’s runway. After leaving that position, he applied for a job with the survey firm of McElhanney Associates and for the next 14 years he enjoyed his work, all the while working towards his accreditation as a surveyor. “The exams were quite intensive and were administered through the Corporation of Land Surveyors Ana of BC. There were three sets MACEDO of exams and you had to go to Victoria to take them. Each set of exams had ten tests; so there were 10 preliminary tests, 10 intermediate tests which were even more technically challenging and then 10 final tests. The process took six years in all and throughout the process I took night courses at BCIT to prepare for the tests,” he explained methodically. Although there were some challenges along the way, Stan admits that he’s always been a fighter and not a quitter and to that end, not only received his license but admits that it turned out to be a nice career. In the Fall of 1985, Stan took out a business license and started up his own surveying company and was successful right through to his retirement last year. “How lucky I was to happen upon a job that truly fascinated and entertained me.” While he admits that he misses the work, he concedes that it was the right thing to do at the right time. “It’s been nice having the chance to take my grandkids to hockey,” he said with a chuckle. His career was always inter-
esting if not adventurous at times. Stan travelled to Saudi Arabia twice on business and it was a remarkable journey. “It was a grand adventure that included superlative technical accomplishments plus heartbreaking separation from my family,” he admitted. Stan became a charter member of the Chilliwack and District Home Builders’ Association; then he became their first secretary and then their first non-builder president. “As their president, I was able to help leverage a significant agreement with the City of Chilliwack called the Modified Approval Process and we received a ‘Gold’ Georgie Award for that agreement,” he said. He also served as chair of the Aboriginal Liaison Committee for the Association of Canada Land Surveyors and served as founding member and then chair of the Business Practices Committee for the Association of BC Land Surveyors. Today, Stan enjoys his work as a member of the Chilliwack Rotary Club and being what he calls a ‘couch potato’ hockey fan. “I’m also a Chilliwack Chiefs seasons ticket holder,” he quickly added. Stan was very close to his parents and although they are gone now, he appreciates his mother’s influence on him in developing a life-long curiosity for learning. He’s equally thankful to his father for teaching him that he would never appreciate a good job until he had experienced a bad one and for the life lessons of team sports and about being strong and responsible for his family. While Stan was always passionate about his work, it is his family that he’s devoted to and for him, they are his rock. He adores his wife, his three children and four grandchildren. “My wife is the glue that binds our family together and I am so proud of my children for growing into responsible, productive and caring adults. I’m also so grateful to my grandchildren for partly filling the huge holes in my life which are left by the passing of those whom I have loved.”

Finding balance in a world punctuated by extremes is a challenge Carla Swope and Lara Von Waldenburg believe they’ve met. The two friends have found a way to merge their love for the arts with the ancient practice of yoga. Art is the external expression of their creativity; Yoga the inner well from which they draw peace and well being. This weekend that balance finds a new expression in an intimate celebration of the season. The Inner Vision Holiday Artisan Market features one-ofa-kind works from a select group of local artisans. The works – all hand made – will showcase the diverse talent in the region, Swope says. Participants include Glowing Positively soy candles, Earth Form Pottery, Clegg Woodcrafts, and Darkwood Drums and Percussion. In all, 14 local artisans will showcase their work, including Swope who will present her latest jewelry creations. Swope’s love of jewelry began when she was still a child. “I was beading for Santa Claus,” she says with a laugh. Drawing inspiration from nature, she crafts her pieces in

Trained in New York and a veteran of several solo showings, Von Waldenburg’s paintings exude energy, vibrancy and a certain playfulness. This year marks the women’s first artisan market. The event also offers them a chance to showcase the new location for
their yoga studio in Vedder Plaza near Garrison Crossing. “We’re really excited,” says Swope. The event is free, with a complimentary free yoga class going to the first 100 people through the door.

The boys of Mystery Machine are coming home to Chilliwack for a gig Dec. 8 at Echo Room.
A return home for Mystery Machine
The Progress
When alt-rock outfit Mystery Machine rolls back into town this weekend, it’s going to be an “insane” reunion show. It’s their first gig back in their hometown of Chilliwack in many years, said Luke Rogalsky, the front man who plays guitar and sings. Known for big, atmospheric guitar rock, the band signed with Nettwerk Records back in 1990, after winning the Vancouver Shindig contest. “The first years we were still living in Chilliwack,” Rogalsky told The Progress. “We would play Greg’s Place and Earthquake Annie’s.” That’s how they came to
know Dapper Dan of Echo Room fame, and he urged them to come play a hometown show. “Back then we’d put on all ages shows at Camp River Hall, or house parties in Greendale. Our first album was written Chilliwack.” “There was also a really big gang of friends from both high schools, a unique artistic group of people, that emerged from our peer group.” The band’s music became the “soundtrack” of their youth, with their progressive and crunchy riffs and penchant for ear-splitting volume. They wrote and toured hard for eight years straight. But when the label dropped them in 1998, Mystery Machine simply stopped making records

and performing live for a chunk of time. They got jobs and mortgages, started businesses and had kids. “We realized years ago rock and roll wasn’t going to pay the bills. We loved playing music together and it was awesome to do it on any level. But we weren’t really career musicians, as special as it is.” Fast forward to 2012. Like many bands from the 1990s, they had a few reunion shows in recent years. Then they signed with Sonic Unyon to put out a new album, a 10-track recording called Western Magnetics. It’s got some old and new material, and it’s their first disc since 1998. The band is now a four-piece with Rogalsky, Bean (Chris
Switzer), Shane Ward and Mario Nieva. Original drummer Jordan Pratt plays drums on some of the tracks. “We put this record a out couple of months ago. That led to a few shows in Ontario. We came back and played Vancouver, and thought that was pretty much it. “But Dan (Brooks) kept bugging us to do show in Chilliwack.” All four band members were born and raised in the ‘Wack. So the gig is booked and they invited a couple of buddies and their bands, Clarence and Trout, to join them on stage at the Echo this weekend. “This whole thing is going to be an insane reunion,” Rogalsky said. “There could be

We called it the mystery machine. There’s obviously a Scoobie Doo reference going on there too.” So did they ever find out what the farm machine was used for? “No. I guess if we ever found out what it was, we couldn’t call ourselves that anymore.”

How to stay safe on winter roads It is important to know how to drive when weather conditions are dangerous. It is also wise to outfit a vehicle to reduce its risk of slipping and sliding on icy, snowy roads. Here are some tips to follow. • Limit time spent driving in the snow. Avoid driving
during snowstorms or directly after whenever possible. Snow not only makes roads slick, but falling flakes can impair a driver’s visibility and reduce his or her response time. Try to wait until snowclearing teams have salted, plowed and sanded roads before
venturing out. • Be sure you can see clearly. Clear off the snow from the windshield, side mirrors and windows so it does not compromise your view. Also, top off the windshield fluid so you will be able to clear snow and salt
kick-up from your windshield. Look for a washer fluid that has an antifreeze component, otherwise, your washer jets and wiper blades could be rendered useless. * Drive slowly. Reduce your speed when driving in inclement weather. It can be more difficult to stop or maneuver around a potential obstacle when conditions are less than ideal. Traveling at a high speed will increase the risk of accidents. • Leave enough room between you and other motorists. Tailgating is responsible for many accidents, even when there is no snow on the ground. In inclement weather, it can take longer to slow or stop the car after pressing on the brakes. Having an additional space between your car and the one in front of you helps you avoid a
collision. • Be aware of black ice. Black ice gets its name from its veritable invisibility. It is so thin and hard to spot, it just looks like the black asphalt of the road. Black ice tends to form in areas that have had snow or ice melt, which then refreezes at night when temperatures drop. Be extra cautious on turns and on highway exit and entrance ramps, where black ice frequently forms. • Steer your car into the skid. Remain calm and do not panic and jam on the brakes if your car starts to skid. Slamming on the brakes will only exacerbate the skid. Rather, take your foot off the accelerator, allowing the car to naturally slow down as you turn your wheels into the direction the car is skidding. This should help right the car
and get you back on track. • Invest in snow tires. Those who live in especially snowy climates and do a lot of driving would be wise to purchase snow tires. Snow tires, also called winter tires, have special tread patterns that offer better traction in snow and ice. They also are made from softer rubber compounds than regular tires that retain their flexibility in cold weather, allowing the tire to conform to the surface of the road. Although many vehicles come with technology to prevent accidents, they cannot do their jobs if tires are not maintaining their grip on the road.
roads. Therefore, it is better to invest in a set of snow tires that will offer you better protection. When putting snow tires on a car or truck, be sure to do so on all the wheels -- not just the driving wheels. Otherwise you may still risk spin outs or uneven gripping of the road. It is not a good idea to keep snow tires on all year. Because they are softer, snow tires tend to be more noisy and can wear out faster in warmer weather. Therefore, switch out the tires at the beginning of the snowy season and then before the spring arrives anew.
All-season tires are not a replacement for snow tires. All-season tires are designed to work in all sorts of conditions, from rainy weather to dry

The Chilliwack Fire Department will be again holding its 13th Annual Christmas Food Drive in support of the Salvation Army Food Bank on Monday, December 10 from 6–8:30 p.m. Members of the Chilliwack Fire Department and Chilliwack Search and Rescue will be going door-to-door collecting canned and dry-good food donations for the Salvation Army Food Bank. Emergency Social Services and Salvation Army members, along with High Road Academy high school volunteers, will sort and load the collected food at the downtown fire hall. The public is asked to have food items ready for the evening pick-up so that emergency workers can get to as many homes as possible that night. As it is not possible to get to all households in one night, the Chilliwack Fire Department will gladly accept food donations. Donations will be accepted until Dec. 21 at Fire Hall No. 1, located at the corner of Cheam Avenue and Young Road, Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. In the past the generosity of the community has made this event the single largest food bank donation, taking in over 12,000 food items and several hundred dollars in a single night last year.

A group of young adults from Timothy Christian School in Rosedale recently began a project to go down to the ravaged and impoverished nation, Haiti. They plan to fund and work with some Haitians to build homes for families who remain displaced after the 2010 earthquake. In addition, they hope to feed sev-
in need. Each house will cost the team approximately $3,000, bringing the estimated total for two houses to $6,000. Their lodging and transportation within Haiti will cost the teams approximately $4,500 each. The individuals pay travel cost to Haiti personally. Every feeding program will cost them about $100. Therefore, if they achieve their total goal of approximately $15,000, they will be able to distribute between four and six feeding programs. With some extra funds, they may well be able to build a public washroom facility or provide some mudfloored houses with a concrete upgrade. Their overall trip expense is no small cost. The price for kindness is never cheap. However, “A little bit of hard work never kills anybody”. This is definitely true for them. With much appreciated

help from the community, they have already been able to accomplish much, but they still need more. They do not shy away from an opportunity to do some labor in order to obtain funds for their exciting trip. Scrap metal collection has been a wonderful way for them to work hard to receive the support from the community members. Consequently, if you have just bought a new home or on the move in the near future, and there is scrap metal lying around, they would be more than happy to help you clean it up. In case your business has a bit of a stockpile, be charitable. Send them an email at mission@homes4haitians. com.

Tough Trail Upsets happen, but it is strange that it has happened so often in Chilliwack versus Trail games, writes Jacob Bestebroer
Austin Plevy and his Chilliwack Chiefs got thumped 6-3 by the Trail Smoke Eaters last Sunday. After a Wednesday night game versus Coquitlam, they don’t play again until Dec. 14. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Chiefs adding to ownership group Eric J. Welsh, The Progress
Two faces from the past are returning to the Chilliwack Chiefs ownership group of the present. Heinz Hasselmann and his son Eric have bought a one-third stake in the junior A BCHL hockey club, joining Jim Bond and Moray Keith in the ownership group. The official announcement was made Wednesday night, with team president Glen Ringdal welcoming the Hasselmanns back into the fold. “They were part of the ownership group with the
first incarnation of the Chiefs, and Heinz really enjoyed being a part of that,” Ringdal explained. “When we sold the old team, Heinz and Eric both said that if we ever wanted to partner again, to let them know. It’s so important to be careful with who your partners are, and with them we have that great level of trust and common thinking.” A year into the second coming of the Chiefs, the team is firmly established as one of the BCHL’s best on and off the ice. The Chiefs are tops in the league standings wise, and led the entire country in
average attendance last year. Two more Chiefs netted NCAA scholarships this week as head coach/general manager Harvey Smyl continues to send his players on to post-secondary schools. “And I think that’s why Heinz and Eric are so eager to get back into it,” Ringdal said. “They are so supportive of the notion of sending hockey players off on the education route. They want to be a part of that.” On the surface, a change in the ownership group won’t mean much to the average fan. But Ringdal believes it sends a broader message about the commitment
Keith, Bond and now the Hasselmanns have for junior A hockey in Chilliwack. “The stability notion is the big one, and this just adds to that because now we’ve got a two generation family involved,” he said. “I’ve been trying to make the claim that we’re here to stay, but we’re still facing people who are reluctant to make a commitment because of what went on in the past. They want to know it’s their team and they’re here to stay, and we’ve got a broad ownership group now that is totally committed to the long term.” Get Chiefs info online at chilliwackchiefs.net.
A bit of a slip up for the Chiefs against Trail Sunday. Give Trail credit though. It was their third road game in as many days and trailing 2-0 after the first period, they could have given up. Upsets happen. If they didn’t sports would be boring, but it is strange that it has happened so often in Chilliwack versus Trail games. The craziest one ever was late in the 1999-00 season. Chilliwack ending up winning 35 games that season and winning the BCHL championship. Trail won eight games, yet beat the Chiefs 10-7 in Trail on Feb. 6 of that season. A wild game it was. All four goalies played. Chiefs goalie Ryan Cyr was pulled, then put back in later. Chilliwack Captain Travis Banga was tossed for lipping off the referee and the Chiefs blew a 6-3 lead. The Chiefs are a little banged up right now. Hopefully we see some of the injured guys back soon. Mathieu Tibbet, Alex Perron Fontaine, and Jaret Babych are all missed. The league reduced the schedule this season so teams play 54 games instead of 60 to avoid weekday games (teams actually play 56 games with the addition of the opening weekend Showcase at which each team plays two games). The Chiefs hosted Coquitlam last night. They do not play this weekend. The nice thing about the Chiefs having this weekend off however is that they can take part in the Downtown Road Hockey Classic on Saturday. More than 100 kids have signed up for the event. For more details, visit the Chiefs website. Congratulations to Chiefs forward Trevor Hills who committed to play for St. Lawrence University this week. Hills is the sixth member of the Chiefs to make such a commitment. He joins David Thompson (Penn State), Alex Perron-Fontaine (RIT), Luke Esposito (Harvard), Mitch Gillam (Cornell) and Austin Plevy (Merrimack). There is just one more chance to see the Chiefs on home ice before the holiday break. The Nanaimo Clippers are in town Dec. 14. The next night the Chiefs are in Langley for their last game before the break. There is a fan bus going to that game. $20 is the cost. Call the Chiefs office if you are interested. After the break it’s the annual Fill the Rink for the Food Bank Night Dec. 29 versus the Surrey Eagles. All tickets for that game are just $5 with a nonperishable food item donation to the Salvation Army Food Bank. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Joan recently left her marriage after years of trying to make it work. She tried to deal with the emotional abuse, but realized her children were suffering and it was taking a toll on her health too. As things escalated at home, she had to leave her job to deal with the issues and care for her children. Suddenly she was a single mom, responsible for three children under the age of eight. Today, her financial situation leaves little for anything beyond the bare necessities, but most importantly both her and her children are healthier and happier. How Santa was possibly going to visit this year has been a nagging worry for a couple of months now. A concerned friend referred Joan to the Christmas Sharing program and she reluctantly applied for help. That was hard … she never dreamed that she would ever be in this position. Yet a huge burden was lifted knowing her children will wake up on Christmas morning like other children do. Once she is back on her feet, Joan is adamant she will return this generosity back to her community.

Ambitious plan for hoops program Christmas Stocking Drive TransCanada Basketball is hitting the fundraising trail, setting the stage for a dramatic revitalization in 2013. The popular club program has big plans for next year, and needs money to make them happen. “We’ve got a tight-knit group of U-14s, and we have a chance to make a real impact in their lives,” said Peter Kmyta, who is leading the fundraising charge. “We have a chance to put them into a league that will challenge them and take them to places they might not get to otherwise without the fundraising.” Places like Las Vegas. A couple years ago, a group of older TransCanada players went to Nevada for the massive Adidas Super 64 event. The plan is to take next year’s U-14 group to the seven day event that runs in July. “It is the biggest club tournament in North America, with the top 64 teams in the United States invited, plus another 200,” said Jake Mouritzen, who is taking over from Mike Mannes as TransCanada Basketball’s head honcho. If fundraising goals are met, Las Vegas won’t be the only highlight on the calendar. The plan is to have the boys attend a hoops camp at Gonzaga University, home of the NCAA powerhouse Bulldogs. “It’s one of the best camps in Washington, attracting top notch players from all over,” Kmyta said. All of this is a step beyond the status quo. Mannes has worked tirelessly over the last decade, but financial limitations have forced the
program to stick closer to home. Mannes and company travelled all over Western and Northern Washington, but big trips have been rare. “Last year we had two teams (U-14 and U-17) and we kind of went back to bare bones,” said Mourtizen, who will be coaching the U-14s along with Mannes and Greg DeVries. “We ran from midApril to the end of June, where the club season really runs until the end of August,” Mouritzen said. “We’ve never done what Peter is suggesting we do. If we meet our fundraising goals, the season we can offer compares with anything a kid would get with the provincial select team.” Mouritzen and Kmyta see the 2013 season as the start of something big. Mouritzen talks about a Washington State girl who won club state championships in Grades 3 and 4, and national championships in Grades 5 and 6. “For most of us, we don’t even start playing basketball until Grade 7, usually,” he chuckled. “The idea is to continue to develop what Mike has done, with the idea that it’s OK to introduce kids to elite basketball at much younger ages.” Mouritzen hopes to offer programs for boys in Grades 4-6 this year. Eventually, he wants to see TransCanada Basketball providing opportunities for kids ages six to 17. “If you go to Richmond, Burnaby, Surrey or White Rock these opportunities have been out there always,” Mouritzen said. “The reason we haven’t been consistently competitive in a long time is because our kids have to travel a long way to find those opportunities. It’s OK in soccer and hockey to be training elite players early, and it should be in basketball as well.”
The TransCanada Basketball program has yielded tangible results. Three recent alums have netted scholarships. Micah Cockrill ended up at Trinity Western University. Lucas Mannes and Josiah Cockrill both signed on with Briercrest College in Caronport, Saskatchewan. All were glowing in their reviews of TransCanada Basketball. “Without TransCanada, I can honestly say I would not be a college athlete today,” Mannes said. Mouritzen coached them all at GW Graham, and saw firsthand the benefits of playing club basketball. “Getting to play 10 months of the year at an elite level as opposed to four or five, it’s hugely beneficial,” he said. “That’s why Canada is so great at hockey, because we have kids playing it 12 months a year. You’ve got to be playing the sport as many months as possible in order to give yourself the opportunity to go to the next level. And that’s what TransCanada Basketball is doing.” Kmyta’s fundraising efforts will mostly be aimed at businesses, with a lofty goal of $35,000. A tall mountain to climb, but he feels it’s doable. “This isn’t just about building better players, but better people, because sports teaches you the fundamentals that will help you in life,” Kmyta said. “You make commitments. You stick to it. You see success and failure and learn how to deal with both. Having kids doing this from a younger age can only help with that, and I believe local businesses will respond to that idea.” Contact Kmyta for info at 604819-3917 or email peter.kmyta@ telus.net.

Tina was born August 27, 1940 in Stadskanaal (gemeente Wildervank), the Netherlands to Wubbo and Anna Velvis as fourth of nine children. She came to Canada in 1964 and married Leonard Hoogerdijk on March 25, 1966 and had seven children; Mary-Ann (Anthony) Vandergugten, of Chilliwack, (Lorien and Perrin); Mark (Linda) Hoogerdijk, of Seville Grove, Western Australia, (Aren, Joel, Thomas, Malkam and Ashleigh); William (Evelyn) Hoogerdijk, of Carman, Manitoba, (Joseph and Joshua); Stephanie Hoogerdijk, of Seville Grove, Western Australia; Alison (Joe) Ruiter, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, (Hannah, Miriam, Sarah, Bethany, Emma, Nadia and Rebecca); Derek (Lynette) Hoogerdijk, of Abbotsford, (Timothy and Micah); and Jennifer (Darran) McLarty, of Winnipeg, Manitoba, (Annalise and Emilie). She is survived by her eight siblings. Tina was a loving wife, mother and grandmother, who treasured family time. She loved the simple pleasures of life, including reading, visiting with family and friends, and traveling. She had a quick wit and a great sense of humour. Her faith was a testimony to us all.

Feb. 14, 1937 - Nov. 20, 2012 Sam Tolmie passed away peacefully at Kelowna General Hospital with his son Lonny by his TOLMIE side, on November 20, 2012 at the age of 75. Sam was predeceased by his wife Shirley in 2006, daughter Peggy in 1962 and son Daniel in 1959, and by his six brothers, Jim, Jack, Bill, Joe, Marvin and Kenny and his four sisters, Eileen, Dorothy, Doreen and Helen. He is survived by his children: Sons, Lonny (Chantal), John (Joanne), Gary ( Denise), Daughters Darlene (Carl) and Cheryl and by 11 Grandchildren and 8 Great Grandchildren. Sam was born and raised at the “Ranch� on Chilliwack Lake Road and called the Fraser Valley his home. Sam was an avid logger and worked all his life in the industry as a Yarder Engineer and Faller. One of his favorite pass times was picking up a guitar and gathering a crowd of people to play and sing his songs to. It was during one of these “Jam Sessions� that he met his wife Shirley, the Love of his life and was married to her for 49 years. Sam was quite a handy man and his children could always count on him to fix or build anything, anytime, with a hammer in one hand and a coffee cup in the other, and a plate of sweets waiting for him at the end. Another favorite pastime of Sam was to play Keno at the Chilliwack Mall, and he always looked forward to this and enjoyed talking with friends and family. He will be sadly missed by all. Memorial Service will be held at a later date.
