Chilliwack woman, 64, assaulted in parking lot
■ C HRISTMAS I N T HE C ITY
Chilliwack RCMP looking for two men A 64-year-old Chilliwack woman was assaulted in the parking lot of the Newmark apartments on Bole Avenue last Tuesday. Police say the woman was walking through the parking lot at about 4:15 p.m. when she saw two men standing by her vehicle. “After questioning the men, she was punched in the chest area,” Const. Tracy Wolbeck said. But the woman was able to run to a door and escape further injury, she said. “An assault like this leaves the victim feeling very vulnerable and unsafe,” she said. “This is something that we take very seriously and hope that someone saw something that can lead us to the suspects.” One suspect is described as a native male in his early- to mid-20s, about 5’9” tall and weighing about 160 lbs. He had a short brush-cut and was wearing a white hooded sweatshirt, blue jeans, black runners and he had a scar under his right eye. The second suspect, also a native male, was also in his early- to mid-20s, about 5’4” tall and weighing about 200 lbs. He had a stocky build and a reddish-brown mohawk with a ponytail in the back. He was wearing a sleeveless shirt with tattoos down his arms and a tattoo around his neck that looked like a snake. He was wearing grey sweat pants. Anyone with information about this incident is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS.

End of residential grow-ops coming for medical pot Chilliwack mayor welcomes the move Kevin Diakiw, Jennifer Feinberg Black Press
The federal government is poised to eliminate licensed medical marijuana grow-ops in homes, which has long been criticized over safety concerns and connections to the illegal drug trade. Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq announced a planned shift to a new system of federally regulated commercial producers who will supply authorized users who have a prescription from their doctor with medical pot.
“Under our new rule, only facilities that meet strict security requirements will be able to produce marijuana for medical purposes,” Aglukkaq told a press conference in Maple Ridge on Sunday. The new direction moving out of the residential areas is “really good news” for Chilliwack, said Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz. “Of course this has been a concern for our city for several years,” said Gaetz, adding that venting smells and health dangers are only part of it. Chilliwack officials have written
letters, talked to Health Canada officials and solicited support of MP Mark Strahl over ongoing issues around the access regulations. “We have the belief that our residents have the right to live in safety, without the fear of theft of marijuana in their neighbourhoods called grow rips, or fires or the criminal element that can be part of the growing of marijuana, whether it’s medical or not,” said Gaetz. “This new direction will also reduce the risk in our neighbourhoods of criminals who would just rather steal the marijuana to sell.” The new system – which also
ends government production of medical pot – is expected to come at a sharply higher price for the nearly 26,000 users authorized to possess medical marijuana. Local authorities have argued most medical pot home growers are producing far more plants than they require, suggesting rampant abuse of the program by licensees selling into the illicit market. “The high value of marijuana on the illicit market increases the risk of home invasions,” Aglukkaq noted. “These production operations can also present fire and toxic mould hazards.”

Probe into serial killer Pickton urges regional police Jeff Nagel Black Press
Missing Women Inquiry commissioner Wally Oppal is calling on the province to create a Greater Vancouver police force after concluding a fractured, badly coordinated police response was a key underlying factor that let serial killer Robert Pickton keep killing for years after he should have been caught. The former attorney-general, in his four-volume report titled Forsaken, says the fragmentation of policing in the Lower Mainland led to multiple police failures, including uncoordinated parallel investigations and the failure to share key evidence.
He recommends an expert panel develop a proposed new regional poling model and implementation plan. “It is clear from the evidence that a regional police force stood a good chance of apprehending Robert Pickton mucdh earlier,” Oppal said, noting the region is the only major centre in Canada without a regional force. “The missing and murdered women were forsaken twice,” he said in the report. “Once by society at large and again by the police.” Metro Vancouver mayors have repeatedly dismissed talk of a regional force in the past, citing concern ranging from higher costs to loss of local control.
“A decisive step mut be taken to break this impasse,” Oppal said, adding he doe not recommend “yet another study” on the feasibility of the idea. The report contain more than 60 other recommendations. The inquiry found the missing women investigation was underfunded because the case didn’t get the priority it deserved. Oppal also cited an “absence of leadership” with no senior officers at the VPD or RCMP taking ongoing responsibility for the case. As part of measure for reconciliation and healing, Oppal calls on the province to set up a compensation fund for children of missing and murdered women, and a healing
fund for families. The inquiry heard senior Vancouver Police officers resisted the theory that a serial killer was preying on women in the Downtown Eastside. The RCMP never took Pickton up on his offer interview to search the farm nor did the force act to get a search warrant before 2002. Prosecutors also had Pickton in their sights years earlier after one woman escaped a bloody knife fight with him at the farm in 1997 but Crown prosecutors later dropped an attempted murder charge after deciding the addicted victim wasn’t reliable. Case files were also erroneously destroyed by the Crown office.
Pickton was convicted on six counts of second-degree murder although he boasted to an undercover officer he killed 49 women. Many family members hoped the inquiry might be a chance for justice for the other victims for whom charges were never laid. Charges in 20 other deaths were stayed after the initial six convictions resulted in Pickton’s life sentence and charges were never laid in still more cases. The inquiry was boycotted by most organizations representing vulnerable women and First Nations, many arguing the process was biased against them because of the heavy presence of lawyers defending police witnesses.
New video is their way of giving back to Sally Ann Mark Strahl
named chair of BC/Yukon caucus
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
A new video about the work of the Chilliwack Salvation Army is a local family’s way of giving back. When the Masters family found out that donations were down at their local Sally Ann recently, they resolved to do something about it. Now just a week to go before Christmas, the kettle donations are still down by a whopping $10,000. The Masters decided to shoot a professional video showcasing the Salvation Army’s good works in the hopes it would give the donations a serious boost. They did it with deepest appreciation of what is done by Sally Ann, every single day for Chilliwack’s most needy. Graham Masters, a webmaster, put the video images, music, stills and interviews together carefully, with the help of his wife, Amanda Masters, a Progress ad sales rep. Chilliwack personality Trevor McDonald was recruited for his empathetic nature and to volunteer his narration skills for the voiceover. But that’s not where this story ends. There’s a lovely little back story to the project. “The video we created was all because of my 26-year-old son, Danny Crowle,” says Amanda Masters. Danny was left with incomplete paraplegia following a surgical operation in England, and a year ago he was still in a wheelchair. He worked briefly when they moved to Chilliwack but the employer would not accommodate his physical challenges in a way that he could stay on the job. Danny was off work for nearly a year. He fell into a deep depression and rarely left his room. Masters decided to check in with the folks at Sally Ann about the prospect of Danny volunteering at

that job lifted my spirits. It made me a much happier person overall.” The video will help by illustrating all their efforts to help the needy, he says. “Some people don’t realize how much effort goes into getting the hampers together or kettle donations for example.” The video has so far been extremely well-received by Salvation Army officials, like Ian Pratt, community ministries director. “It really showcases what we’re doing,” says Pratt. “It also lets people know how much need is out there in the community. Local schools want the video for their assemblies, and community members are reporting how much they liked it. “They did a professional job.
Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl has been named by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to chair the Conservative party’s BC/Yukon caucus effective immediately. “I feel honoured and humbled to have been asked by the Prime Minister to take over this important role,” Strahl said in a Thursday news release announcing the appointment. He later told The Progress that he believes he may be the only MP among those elected for the first time in May, 2011, to be so honoured. Strahl, now 34, agreed his previous political work behind the scenes as an assistant to two Conservative MPs, and as an election campaign manager and as president of the Conservative board of directors may have had something to do with his appointment as chair of the regional caucus. But, he added: “I think it’s just the Prime Minister trusted my judgment and thinks I’m ready for the challenge the position presents.” As regional caucus chairman, Strahl will chair a weekly meeting of Conservative MPs and Senators from across the region, and also chair the bi-annual BC/ Yukon stakeholder meeting held in Vancouver. He will also report the work of the regional caucus to the party’s national caucus and to the Prime Minister.

the Care and Share Centre on Yale Road. Would they accept her son as a volunteer? “We didn’t know what to do. We couldn’t help him.” Danny still didn’t want to climb out of his pit, but he gave it a shot. He started working in the Salvation Army soup kitchen and doing intake work, and giving out hampers to clients. He volunteered for six months straight. It didn’t matter how he was feeling, he got up and went into work at the Salvation Army Care and Share Centre on Yale Road. Gradually, he gained confidence and self-esteem. A whole new world started opening up for him. “It literally brought him back from the brink,” says Masters. “He’s a different person. I so want-
ed to give back in turn.” The Salvation Army literally became the source of her son’s salvation. “It helped to make him feel like a real worthwhile person. So it was the Salvation Army helping someone in a completely different way here. It gave him a new lease on life.” Not only that, but in a matter of months Danny was offered a position. He now works at the emergency shelter, helping the down and out. “Now he has a future,” she says, beaming with pride. Danny agrees. He was more than thrilled to take on the casual shelter position they offered him. “It made me feel really good about myself that someone recognized that I had something to contribute,” he says. “To be offered

The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
It’s just a few days until the apocalypse. Have you finished your Christmas shopping yet? The ancient Mayans predicted Armageddon for Dec. 21, 2012, the date they stopped calculating their calendar. (See related story, page 15.) That’s when the renowned astrologers and mathematicians said the 26,000 year grand cycle of evolution would cataclysmically crash to a halt. The Mayans aren’t the only doomsayers. Christian denominations reference a Judgement Day that is the culmination of a great battle between good and evil. Ancient Norse mythology foretold of a final showdown between the gods. There are physicists who calculate the end of mankind as a mathematical inevitability, astronomers who say it’s only a matter of time until we’re all snuffed out by a collision with an asteroid or the demise of the sun, geologists who predict we’re one giant volcano eruption away from eternal darkness. And don’t forget, there were some computer scientists who said Y2K would be the demise of us all. Of course, for every doomsday scenario, there’s a screenwriter poised at a keyboard trying to turn it into the latest Hollywood blockbuster to be directed by disaster-meister Roland Emmerich.There’s nothing like a little end-of-days escapist entertainment to help take your mind off your current problems, like paying the mortgage, getting the kids to soccer practice, chafer bugs decimating your lawn. It’s all enough to make you curl up in a ball on the couch and tune in for that marathon session of Dr. Phil you’ve been denying yourself for so long. Or maybe empty your bank account and go on one last spree of travel, trinkets and T-bone steaks. Just keep in mind, when it comes to doomsday predictions, it’s believer beware. ~ Black Press

Remembering Cargo’s dedicated life of service
It was just after 6 pm, December 10th. Chilliwack dog handler Cst. Michael Jordan was giving his police service dog Cargo a run after his shift. It was a normal, fun moment for Cargo just like thousands of other times when he would enjoyed some down time. Cargo was no slouch when it came to work. He had been used in many Canadian events such as the G8/G20 Summit, and NATO, UN, and the Francophone Summits as well as the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Locally just last July, Cargo tracked and located a Chilliwack woman in under 30 minutes. She suffered from Alzheimer’s disease. But that night last week Jordan noticed something wrong. Cargo seemed listless. He was lacking energy and he was clearly hurting. He immediately sought vet-

erinary help. Cargo underwent exploratory surgery for stomach torsion. But what the vet found was devastating. Cargo was riddled with cancer. Shortly afterwards, Jordan’s beloved ser vice dog passed away. It was a crushing loss for Jordan and his family. After all, Cargo Margaret was also the family pet. As a workEVANS ing dog Cargo had been with Jordan in Chilliwack since 2006 and, at every turn, Cargo had performed his duties brilliantly. “Police ser vice dogs love their work,” said Jordan. “Cargo worked right up until the end without any hesitation and with no previous sign of illness. He’s
been a great companion and partner as we have done a lot together and he will be greatly missed.” Too often we see police dogs at work doing security or crime scene investigation, but we don’t always realize how deep and complex the bond is between the handler and the dog. As a pack animal, Cargo’s loyalty was to his owner and he gave that in spades, never questioning and always ready to respond. They came to rely totally on each other as a team to successfully solve crime. Cargo was an explosive dog specialist and often worked with the Emergency Response Team. Several times he was a guard dog for Prime Minister Harper. Jordan and Cargo worked on the EnCana pipeline bombings case in Dawson Creek and Cargo was successful in catching several
bank robbers, a taxi cab robber, and he tracked and caught a killer driving a stolen vehicle. The RCMP has had a long histor y of the use of canines in police work. From 1908 to 1935 members sometimes used their privately owned dogs to help in investigations. In 1935 the dog section was formed with the acquisition of three German shepherds: Black Lux, Dale of Cawsalta, and Sultan. Two years later, Commissioner MacBrien ordered that an RCMP training school for dogs and handlers be established in Calgary. In 1940 the RCMP won its first case with the use of dog search evidence. Cargo was born June 23rd, 2003 in the Czech Republic and he was purchased by the RCMP to be part of their breeding program. He began his training with Jordan in 2005 and graduated in

He sired 20 litters, the last one born in May 2012. Many of his offspring work within the Police Dog Ser vice across Canada including some in the Lower Mainland facilites. Cargo was going to be retired in January 2013 and Jordan is already scheduled to start a new dog in training. Today, Cargo’s ashes are with his family. But from the sadness of his passing will come moments for Jordan and his colleagues to remember and celebrate six extraordinary years with an amazing and loyal companion.

A call for more protection in schools In light of the most recent heartbreaking and senseless act of violence in Connecticut, I think it is time that we protect our children in the way that developers are protecting those of us that choose to live in gated communities. Government offices, liquor stores and even grocery stores have security officers at the door. It would be so simple to install electronic monitors at the entrance door of every school, controlled by the office staff. Any unidentified person could
be referred to the police before allowing admission. Having a camera and voice identification would surely help to deter any unwanted intruders. Perhaps even issuing parents and guardians with ID cards could be considered. Naturally no one wants to live in such a rigidly controlled state but, as a grandparent, I would choose this system any day to secure the lives of my grandchildren as well as all other children and adults who have the potential to fall victim. If any objection
raised would be based on government funding, I would wish to be the first at my children’s schools to help to pay for such a system. I humbly beg our mayor and council at city hall and school district board members to consider any idea which will help to secure the lives of our town’s children, their teachers and school staff. Let us not wait until we have a tragedy of our own to deal with.
I believe that everyone will agree this is of the utmost importance. Due to recent events, we don’t need to be reminded how much our children’s lives depend on us, which is why it’s time to make some adjustments when it comes to our children’s safety at school. Over the years, security has become a necessity for those who want to protect what is theirs and just as we have adapted our ways to insure our belongings are safe, we need to ensure our most valuable assets, our children, are safe while they are at school. The Halo project intends to protect our
angels from harm. Teachers, principals and staff at our schools, are not security, although they would fight for any child’s life, they cannot be responsible at all times for the safety of their students. This is why hiring security guards as well as scheduling daily police patrols should be put in place for every school across our country! Regardless of the cost, any parent would be willing to pay for the peace of mind that their children are safe; although I am sure the government would find it in their budget to protect the future of our country.

catastrophes with the goal of fleecing taxpayers. The Canadian author Donna LaFramboise, in “The Delinquent Teenager (Who Was Mistaken for the World’s Top Climate Expert),” presents a clear picture of the fraud behind the IPCC, the main UN climate advisory body for international climate issues. These bureaucrats have developed a culture of guilt that tells us the world would be such a wonderful place if it were not for

With your help, we can make a change in our city, province and country for those we love the most. We cannot put a price on safety, especially when it comes to our children, for as Albert Einstein once said, “The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.” What are you willing to do?

Congratulations! On behalf of Odlum Brown Chilliwack, Branch Manager Paul Donaldson would like to congratulate Debra Hewson on being inducted into the Canada’s Most Powerful Women: Top 100 Hall of FameTM.
Debra joins an elite group of only 88 women in the Top 100 Hall of Fame, awarded by the Women’s Executive Network. In order to be part of the Hall of Fame, women must have won a Top 100 award three times in recognition of their extraordinary and noteworthy achievements.
all the people. If they can’t rid the world of the people at least they can bully us into giving them control of all our resources, all of our taxes, and of course all of our sovereignty. We need to enter into more discussion on preservation of our planet. But we need to move it away from the opportunistic wolves like Al Gore and Maurice Strong, who see us as naïve lambs to be slaughtered. Gary Raddysh Chilliwack, BC

Climate ‘myth’ would fleece taxpayers Margaret Evans expresses sadness that the world seems to be less enthusiastic for setting up global agreements that would set limits for countries’ carbon output. This is of course because she is still selling the myth that warming trends in the earth’s climate are caused or accelerated by human use of carbon. I have come to believe that, like the B.C. provincial government, wealthy opportunists have promoted the fear of global climate

‘Halo project’ would protect children The Halo project is devoted to protecting our children’s future by securing their lives while they are at school. From when our children are born, we make a vow to protect them, no matter the cost. When they are within our care we know that no harm will be done, but as soon as they reach kindergarten, our assurance that our children are safe is put in the hands of the schools and teachers in them. We have respected and loved the men and women who have taught our children throughout the years, but we cannot leave their entire safety in their hands as well.

Campaign helps kids grow stronger Eric Welsh The Progress
Sheri Josephson was at Bernard elementary school last Thursday, handing out YMCA Strong Kids Play cards to lucky students. One of the recipients, a young girl, took one a card and got a quizzical look on her face. Josephson, you see, had just handed her options. The card in her hand was good for threemonth youth membership to the YMCA on Hocking Avenue. Or $100 towards a summer day camp. Or $100 towards an overnight stay at YMCA’s Camp Elphinstone. Fun options all for a kid who was caught completely by surprise and wondered why she was so fortunate. “This little girl said, ‘Why me?’ And the principal said, ‘Because you’re special,’” Josephson recalled with a smile. “The girl said, ‘I’m not special’ and the principal said, ‘Yes, you are special. All kids are special.’” Josephson, the general manager of the Chilliwack Family
YMCA had several such moments as she visited local elementary schools last week, distributing 75 cards as part of the YMCA’s ongoing Strong Kids campaign. The campaign aims to remove barriers to participation in YMCA programs. Friday morning, Josephson found herself at Chilliwack Central, distributing another 10 cards. Again, smiles all round. “The reason for the card format is because we wanted to get something in people’s hands,” Josephson said. “Rather than making it an onerous process to go through with registration and everything, it was about how simple we could make it The easiest thing to do was put something in their hands and let them go. And I can see firsthand how excited these kids are.” A donation of $50,000 from the YMCA Endowment Fund paved the way for this program. Six hundred and fifty cards in total were distributed to kids in the Vancouver, Surrey and
Chilliwack school districts. The criteria for selection was left almost entirely in the hands of the schools. “It’s up to the principals and administration, the people who would know best which students will benefit from the cards, and use the cards,” Josephson elaborated. “The only criteria we provided was that the recipients be 13 years or younger, because its easiest to change behaviour patterns in that age group.” With that in mind, Chilliwack Central principal Jim Edgecombe said his school’s criteria was straight-forward. “You look at the kids who have the supports to access the YMCA and
Making a video like that is something I wanted to do for a few years.” It was also a handy and effective way to let people know they can give a $5 donation by texting Hope1003 to 45678. At press time the video had more than 420 views on Youtube, and it’s driving people to their Facebook page. Pratt said they’re excited and thankful for the video project, and for their new employee, Danny Crowle. When Danny started he was “super quiet” but he’s since “blossomed” into the compassionate worker at the shelter, says Pratt. He is also willing to jump in and help out wherever he was needed, which he amply demonstrated as a volunteer. “Danny has been a real asset to us, and he’s a really nice guy.

will take advantage of what’s being offered,” he said. “The kids selected here will use the cards, and wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity.” On the surface, this program appears to be about active kids — getting them off the couch, away from the TV and video games, and into something that will be of far more benefit. The current generation may be the first in modern history with a shorter life span than their parents. So that is a big part of it. But Josephson believes this program touches on another of the YMCA’s three pillars. Continued: YMCA/ p27

Strahl was first elected just over a year ago in the riding held by his father MP Chuck Strahl since 1993. The younger Strahl raised some eyebrows among Conservative party members when he announced his intention to make a run for the nomination just days after the elder Strahl announced his intention in March, 2011 to leave politics. Some accused Strahl of having advance notice of his father’s intention not to run again, giving him an advantage over other possible candidates, and then a shortened nomination period
“abridged” by party officials in Ottawa to get ready for the expected election call didn’t help the negative perception. But Strahl went on to win the nomination handily, and then gathered a whopping 57.2 per cent to the total ballots cast in the riding - 28,153 votes - down only slightly from the 29,198 who voted for his father in the 2008 election. Since then Strahl has served as a member of the Standing Committee on National Defence and the Standing Committee on Health - and now as chair of the regional caucus. Strahl praised outgoing caucus chair Dick Harris (Caribou-
Prince George) who is stepping down for health reasons after six years as chair. “The BC/Yukon Conservative caucus is a strong group of outstanding MPs and Senators, and I am looking forward to working with them in this new position,” Strahl said. He said James Moore (Port Moody-Westwood-Port Coquitlam) is currently the senior Conservative MP in B.C. The party won 21 of the 36 federal seats in B.C. in the 2011 election, one less than it held after the 2008 election. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN A PERSON’S LIFE
Your generous donations will help us give shelter, food & clothing to many people who rely on Ruth & Naomi’s Mission to have a better quality of life.
Research indicates that both criminal and medical residential marijuana grow operations result in similar health, fire and safety hazards associated with unsafe electrical work, structural changes and excessive moisture. Taking marijuana production out of homes and into a licensed commercial environment is a step in the right direction, Garis said. “We are happy to see Health Canada commit to inspecting and auditing medical marijuana producers to make sure they comply with all regulator y requirements,” he said. “We would like to see them take a further step and ensure that all previous residential
growing sites are remediated, and that future buyers are made aware that these homes were previously used to grow marijuana.” The federal Ministr y of Health said it intends to implement the system by March 31, 2014, at which point all current licences to possess or produce pot would expire. The government is holding a 75-day comment period for the public to give feedback on the proposal (at http://bit.ly/ U4xtqi), which will end on Feb. 28, 2013. The details of the new regulations are available on the ministry’s website (http://bit.ly/ SFDUlX). – with files from Jeff Nagel and CTV News

Transforming Trauma: How to do this Work and Not Completely Lose Our Minds with Laura van Dernoot Lipsky
Friday, Jan. 25, 2013
The Trauma Stewardship Institute is committed to raising awareness and responding to the cumulative toll on those who are exposed to the suffering, hardship, crisis, or trauma of humans, living beings, or the planet itself. Our daily lives are filled with witnessing trauma and suffering. As a community member, front line worker, professional, or caregiver, do you find you: • are anxious or nervous for no apparent reason? • worry about things that have not happened? • have sleepless nights? • are drained by daily interactions? • avoid conversations due to fear? • feel overwhelmed? • forget or feel you don’t deserve to take care of yourself? Then this is a day you must experience! Laura van Dernoot Lipsky will offer a compelling mix of personal insight, cutting edge research, and humor to help us understand the cumulative toll of being exposed to suffering over time and gain concrete skills to reconcile it. Participants are welcome from all professional disciplines and life circumstances. We are pleased to offer Continuing Education Credit for those who request it: CEU’s for all disciplines (i.e. legal, medical, social work, etc.)

Those hazards are also a concern in Chilliwack. “People should be able to buy a home without it having previously used as a grow-op,” Gaetz said. “We know there are moulds, contaminants and wiring issues in a building that has been used as a grow-op. People also have a right to know if the home they are buying has been one.” The Fire Chiefs Association of B.C. (FCABC) said the change will improve safety in residential neighbourhoods. “The fire ser vice across Canada has been raising the alarm about the fire and safety risks associated with growing marijuana indoors for many years,” said FCABC President Len Garis, who is also Surrey’s fire chief. “We applaud the government for taking action on this issue.” Garis stressed that the fire service has never been concerned about the use of marijuana for medical purposes. “Our focus is on how medical marijuana is grown,” he said. “The fact is, medical marijuana has typically been grown in a residential setting, which is not suitable or safe for growing marijuana.” Under the previous regulations, medical marijuana grow operations operated without their local municipal government’s knowledge or approval, and were not subject to health, fire, building or plumbing inspections.

Apocalypse? Leave ’em laughing, says writer Mario Bartel Black Press
It’s the end of the world and Bob Robertson feels fine. That’s because, as the calendar ticks down to the apocalypse on Dec. 21 as predicted by the Mayans, he’s been getting ready. The New Westminster comedy writer and performer is sharing some of his Armageddon advice in his guide to the cataclysm, Mayan Horror: How to survive the end of the world in 2012. Robertson says he’s confident the Mayans got it right. After all, they were ahead of their time. They were masterful mathematicians and astronomers. They civilized Mexico before it became overrun with tourists and gangsters. They constructed impressive temples that all came in under budget because they were built with slave labour. And, say some experts, they foretold the demise of mankind because their calendar abruptly stops at 11:11 a.m. GMT, Dec. 21, 2012. Although, Robertson concedes, “the guy who was chiseling the calendar might have just gotten tired.” Nevertheless, Robertson says he’s been stocking up on end-of-the-world supplies consisting mostly of beef jerky, Kraft dinner and jars of pickles, “because they don’t have an expiry date.” And Canadian Tire money. Robertson says once the pillars of destructive hellfire are extinguished and the banks have been wiped out, there will be an opportunity for savvy survivors to establish a new global currency by pillaging the charred

skeletons of cars where they’re bound to find endless stashes of the promotional bills squirrelled away in the glove boxes. He’s already amassed a closet full of “seed money.” Of course, Robertson doesn’t want to set off panic. So he’s playing it cool, going about his daily business normally. He’s cleaned and pressed the tuxedo he plans to wear
to the annihilation. “You want to be looking your best at the pearly gates,” he says. He’s placed an advance order for his last meal, fish and chips from Fathom at the River Market. “Comfort food,” he says. He’s put out his best bottle of single malt Scotch because, he says, “you don’t have to worry about a hangover, or you’ll have one heck of one anyway” depending
on how the end of days plays out. Rober tson’s book reveals the 10 safest places in Canada to ride out the apocalypse, including the Diefenbunker in Carp, Ont., an old unused subway station in Toronto, and the Roundhouse Lodge at the top of Whistler mountain for its “spectacular view” and “steamed dumplings in a light miso broth.” Locally,
he suggests the food court at the Royal City Centre, a place Armageddon might just forget. But Robertson says he’s a fatalist. He plans to watch the decimation from his balcony along New Westminster’s waterfront, holding the hand of his wife, comedienne Linda Cullen. “I’m at peace with everything,” says Robertson. “I’ve been kind to animals. I’ve
been to church enough to build up some points. I’m ready.” He’d better be. Because if he, and everyone else, wakes up on Dec. 22, he’s going to have a whole lot of remaindered books to dispose of. • Mayan Horror: How to survive the end of the world 2012 is published by Anvil Press.

Nine charging stations for electric vehicles are being installed in Chilliwack, Hope and Boston Bar, the B.C. government announced this week. And two more located at the Chilliwack Walmar t were announced earlier this year. “As people become more aware and interested in electric vehicles, the demand for more electric power vehicles will increase,” Chilliwack MLA John Les said. “These electric
power charging stations will help increase that demand,” he said. One Level 2 240-volt charging station will be located at Chilliwack City Hall at 8550 Young Road. Another will be located at Tourism Chilliwack at 44150 Luckakuck Way. Two stations will be located at Yarrow Central Enterprises (Yarrow EcoVillage) at 2312 Yarrow Central Road. Two will be located at the Fraser Valley Regional District build-

In Hope, two stations will be located at the Fraser Valley Regional District site at 1005 Sixth Avenue. In Boston Bar, one station will be located at the Fraser Valley Regional District site at 47585 Trans Canada Highway. The B.C. government has created a $2.7-million Community Charging Infrastructure Fund that provides 75 per cent of the cost of purchasing and installing Level 2 charging stations around B.C., up to $4,000 per station. There are now 418 CCI Fund-supported charging stations in the province. The 145 new stations announced this week are being installed by 41 different organizations,

including businesses, non-profit groups and public-sector agencies. More than 60 per cent of the stations announced in this round are being installed by businesses, an indicator that electric vehicles are moving into the mainstream, and B.C. businesses have recognized the value in providing customers with the ability to charge their cars. B.C. Environment Minister Terry Lake said the 145 charging stations “mark another step toward making electrical vehicles a realistic option for British Columbians.” “By making it more convenient for clean energy vehicle owners, such as myself, to charge their cars, businesses and other organizations are encouraging environmentally friendly transportation options and reducing emissions provincewide,” he said.

Mrs. Claus shares tips for fun holiday activities
WOW!
! e l a S s a m t s Chri
If you think you’re busy this time of year, imagine how busy the first lady of holiday cheer can be. Not only does she help the big guy get ready for Christmas, but she makes sure everyone in the North Pole has a memorable holiday season. From hosting parties to keeping the elves happy and healthy, this joyful time of year is also her busiest.
GIFT CERTIFICATES AVAILABLE!
“While the holiday season is always a hectic time at the North Pole, just like it is for you and your family, we still try to spend time together even after a long day in Santa’s workshop” says Mrs. Claus. “We read Santa’s letters, play reindeer games and bake tasty holiday goodies together.”

For a holiday season filled with joy and laughter, Mrs. Claus shared her top five ways to make lasting memories with your little ones.-

• Letters to Santa: Santa loves receiving letters from children. Encouraging your kids to write to Santa provides a great opportunity to teach them how to spell, compose written text and allows them to practice handwriting. For younger kids who haven’t started reading or writing, encourage them to draw pictures, instead. • Leave something special: Making a snack for Santa with your little helpers offers an extra opportunity to spend time together creating memories that will last a lifetime. Think beyond the cookie tray and personalize your treats just for him. A few of Santa’s favorites are Rice Krispies squares or creative gingerbread cookies.

thing they plan to make an integral part of Yale Sushi. “We’re proud of our food, but we are most proud of our customer service,” Jeff says. That means providing a relaxed and fun dining experience, where laughter is served up along side the traditional Japanese favorites. Part of that fun includes a chance to win a free menu item from now until Dec. 24. Yale Sushi offers a full menu of favorites, like the dynamite roll and California roll, but they also offer specialties like their red dragon roll, made with prawn tempura, crab meat and spicy tuna. And if customers are looking to take the edge of chilly winter day, there are hot dishes like the marinated beef and vegetables served in a Korean hot pot. Yale Sushi is located at 38 - 45905 Yale Road. For information, call 604.392.2050.

With a quick smile and a ready laugh, Jeff and John Park are adding a special sparkle to Chilliwack’s hospitality industry. The two men have both been veterans of the local sushi scene for years. Now they’ve opened their own restaurant in South Gate Mall. Yale Sushi opened its doors in November, offering downtown residents a fresh new alternative for a quick lunch or an evening out with friends. The two men designed their restaurant to be open and friendly. It’s well laid out, with a clean and comfortable feel. Choose an intimate booth or one large enough to accommodate the whole group. Find a table near the window, or sit up at the counter and watch as the rolls, nigiri and sashimi are prepared. “We are very proud of what we’ve done,” Jeff says, pointing to the decor.

Dog licence renewals in the mail soon Tis the season, as every responsible dog owner knows, for dog licence renewal notices. This year, those licence renewals will be issued by the Fraser Valley Regional District, not the City of Chilliwack. Why? Because the FVRD has assumed responsibility for providing the Animal Control service for the City of Chilliwack. “We are excited to be able to

New YMCA program helps kids lead active, healthy lives YMCA from page 9 “Isolation is one that comes up quite strongly, in that people aren’t feeling connected to each other or their communities,” Josephson explained. “They don’t know where resources are to get help, nor do they feel comfortable asking, and it’s not just a low income problem. It’s right across socio-economic levels. If we can provide a way for that connection to happen, that’s a big part of the premise.” Edgecombe said there’s a lot of local research data to back up that claim of isolation, and he sees all too often the damage it can cause. “What we know from research and literature is that kids who are involved in their community often have more opportunities as they get older, because connections at a younger age translate into connections at a later age,” he said. “In some of our north side communities, and some of the more vulnerable communities on the south side, having opportunities where opportunities might not otherwise exist is imperative. Communities need to get together and collectively help to raise children, and I think this is a really great partnership for that.” The Strong Kids Play cards are a pilot proj-
ect, one that Josephson hopes will prove worthy of being permanent. For that to happen, a couple bars must be met
or exceeded. “The biggest measure will be how many of these kids take the cards in and actually
use them,” Josephson said. “That’s quantitative. Beyond that, it will be up to us to gather qualitative data, to talk
to families and find out how they felt about the experience and whether behaviours were changed. Was this a
good way to get people engaged? We want to take action, and we hope this is a program that will come back again
and again and again.” Get more info online at vanymca.org/giving/ yskplaycard or call 604622-4954.

What happens to the real estate market during the holidays? Many people may think that the holiday season is the worst time to try to sell (or buy) a home. This theory is actually incorrect in the case of real estate. While home sales traditionally slow from November until January, they certainly do not stop. Who buys homes during this period? Buyers, not lookers! These buyers tend to be without children and looking to ‘move up’. This is especially good news for sellers of high-end market homes.

Year ending on positive note for housing sales

My roots are deeply imbedded in this community, and my past experience in the industry has provided me with extensive and thorough product knowledge. Everyone needs a home and every home has value. Working your way through the maze of buying or selling can become intimidating and today’s market trend is continuing to give us surprises. I look forward to meeting past friends and clients, discussing your current real estate needs and helping you with a plan of action.
With Christmas approaching and 2012 soon drawing to a close, it appears the year will end on a high note for housing sales in Chilliwack and area. After posting 166 sales in November, (compared to 129 sales in November of 2011) seasonally adjusted numbers indicate a 15 per cent increase in unit sales, and increased sales overall when compared year-over-year. A continued flat market is being credited for the slowly improving local housing market, according to Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB) President, Cynthia Admiraal. “Flat is not necessarily a term enjoyed by retailers, but when referring to the real estate market, it’s a good thing. It means that prices and interest rates remain stable, making property purchases attractive to both home buyers and investors.’’ “Investors are attracted to markets that are stable and not prone to wild price fluctuations. Combined with the commuter factor, where home ownership is far more affordable than the metro areas,

Buyers during this period also include job transferees, professionals on the move, those who have no other time to look for a new home, those who are not involved in the holiday rush, and those who are simply in an expansive holiday mood! So don’t think the holiday season spells the end of the homeselling season - the most wonderful holiday gift of all may be the deed to a new home.

it paves the way for continued sales growth in the New Year,’’ added Ms. Admiraal. Of the 166 sales last month, the highest number (21) was in the $250,000-$274,999 range, followed by 18 sales in the $350,000$399,999 range. There were 18 sales over the $500,000 mark. The value of all combined sales was almost $48 million. At the end of November, there were 1,524 active listings on the local market, compared to 1,700 at this time last year. If a home purchase is one of your New Year’s resolutions, CADREB encourages you to get pre-qualified at your financial institution ahead of time. Nothing is more disappointing than to fall in love with a property to discover that you don’t qualify, and it is disappointing for the seller as well. The CADREB executive, office staff, and the Board’s 267 local REALTORS® in Chilliwack and area wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year. – CADREB Press Release
For many people, their home is their biggest asset and their prized possession. When it comes time to buy that first home, or sell your current home and upgrade, why trust someone that doesn’t have intimate knowledge of the area and local market? Having been born and raised in Chilliwack, knowing the community and various neighbourhoods comes as second nature to me. With an extensive background in Personal and Commercial Insurance Sales and Marketing, I know what it takes to market products to the right people to achieve a quick sale and for top dollar. I love working with people and seeing my clients meet their Real Estate Goals is my main focus! When Buying or Selling Property, you need an honest, hardworking REALTOR that you can count on to be there for you and to devote the time to ensure that you are totally satisfied before, during and after your transaction. I am that REALTOR; and I welcome your calls.

Hello, my name is Corny Woelders, I am one of the proud owners of Landmark Realty Chilliwack. I am married and have two great kids. I grew up in Chilliwack and graduated from C.S.S.S. (a long time ago) and then moved to Abbotsford where I met my wife of 23 years. I predominately worked in the poultry and dairy industry and also ran our own Poultry Farm. I became a Realtor® a number of years ago and worked out of the Landmark Abbotsford office. However, I found myself selling a lot of homes in Chilliwack for friends and family, so when a Landmark franchise came available, my partners and I knew that Chilliwack was the place to go. Today’s low interest rates, plus low prices, plus high inventory, equals the perfect buyers market. So come on in and visit our office and I will help you with all your real estate needs.

But goaltender Mitch Gillam came up big, recording his third shutout in his last five outings. “We did give up a lot of shots, but we kept them to the outside mostly, and when pucks get through he does the job better than anyone I’ve seen,” Esposito noted. “Even in practice, it’s painful sometimes the saves he makes. He’s the best in the league as far as I’m concerned.” On Saturday night, the Chiefs invaded Langley to face the Rivermen. Gillam had 29 saves on 32 shots.

Locals fall in playdowns Three Chilliwack rinks came up short in their bid for a spot in the BC Men’s Curling Championship, going a combined 5-9 at last weekend’s Lower Mainland playdowns. The locals had home rink advantage in a 12 team field, but the quick knockout format left no margin for error. One Chilliwack group was destined for a bad start, with Dale Hockley’s crew clashing with Todd Leighton and company in Friday’s early draw. The loser was immediately relegated from A to B. Hockley (with third Rick Jones, second Kevin Jones, lead Robert Hockley and fifth Matt Prinse) scored one in the 11th end to take a thrilling 7-6 final. Leighton’s rink included third Ken Britz, second Darren Jarvis, lead Adam Dyck and fifth Glen Ford. In another Friday morning draw, Allan Vanderveen’s rink (including third Bobby Neid, second Adam Dyble and lead Rob Hornsby) dropped an 8-5 final to Delta’s Bryan Miki. The second draw, on Friday afternoon, had Hockley staying alive in the A event with the other two bumped to B.
Vanderveen lost 6-1 to the Marpole Curling Club’s John Molendyk and Leighton lost 7-3 to the Vancouver Curling Club’s Shane Bourdage. Both were then bumped to the C event. Hockley was knocked out of the A bracket with an 8-7 loss to the Royal City Curling Club’s Art Bilesky. He collected back to back B wins over Stephen Schneider (Vancouver Curling Club) and Ken McArdle (Royal City), but finally joined the other two in C with a 5-1 loss to Bilesky. Vanderveen and Leighton went head to head in a C match Saturday afternoon, with Leighton taking a 10-4 final. Leighton then met his end against Hockley, losing 7-2 Sunday morning. Left as the last rink standing, Hockley’s run came to an end Sunday afternoon with a 6-3 loss to McArdle. The champions were Sean Geall (Royal City) in A, Jim Johnson (Royal City) in B and McArdle in C. Get the full rundown online at playdowns.com Get local curling info at curlchilliwack.org

(85-57) and MEI (8161). Their lone loss came against the eventual tournament champs, a 59-48 defeaut against St. Thomas More. Kaitlyn McDonald was a first team tournament all-star, turning in an eye-popping 40 points (six threes) against MEI.
Jenika Bannerman was a second team allstar, averaging 12 points per game while dominating in rebounding. Kassia Bedenarczyk had her best tournament in a GWG uniform, earning player of the game honours against MEI. Aveen Rezends, Leah Thompson and Katie
Sutherland provided great defence. “It was a great show of heart from the team and we’re excited to finally get into league play next week,” said coach Sarah Mouritzen. The girls play their league opener against Heritage Park today and face Mission on Wednesday.

Nothing but bad luck for Attack The Chilliwack Attack took another hard-luck loss Friday night, falling 3-2 on the road to South Surrey’s Coastal Supra FC. Looking to avenge a 4-1 loss a week prior, but playing with a shorthanded lineup, Chilliwack trailed 2-0 23 minutes in. Kirsty Fearn headed in a cross from Andrea Feaver just before half-
time to make it 2-1, and the Attack drew even with two minutes left in the second half when Kelly Willmets took a drop pass from Deanna Hawes and beat the Supra keeper. Supra was awarded a penalty shot in the final minute of play, only to be thwarted by Chilliwack keeper Lisa Heimstra. But Supra scored off
the ensuing corner kick to hand the Attack their

Her family moved to Schumacher, Ontario where her father worked in the mines. Jean graduated with honours from high school and went on to train as a nurse at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. After graduation in 1945, Jean nursed in Timmins, Winnipeg, and Nelson before moving to Chilliwack in 1948. She met and married Glen Minter in 1950 and they had two daughters. After Glen’s sudden death in 1964, Jean returned to nursing at the Chilliwack General Hospital. She took time out to study public health nursing at UBC in 1968 then returned to work on a variety of floors at the hospital. Jean instilled her love of learning and travel in her daughters. She enjoyed gardening, reading, and was always ready to lend a helping hand to those in need. The Rev. Elizabeth Piwowar of St. Michael’s Anglican Church in Canmore Alberta officiated at a family graveside service in Chilliwack. Friends wishing to remember Jean may make donations to the Chilliwack Animal Safe Haven, 49843 Chilliwack Central Rd, Chilliwack BC V2P 6H3 or www.thesafehaven.ca where her companion cat, Jezebel, has found a happy home.

It is with great sadness that we announce John Michael Purvis passed away peacefully on PURVIS December 7, 2012 at Chilliwack General Hospital. John was born in England but soon made Canada his home and proudly served this nation for 23 years. A retired sergeant of the Canadian Armed Forces, John was a true soldier and fighter through to the end. John is lovingly remembered by his wife of 53 years, Gladys; his five children and six grandchildren.

Her love and brilliant smile will be missed by her three older sisters: Jacqueline (Peter) Bax, Gail (Ernie) Proctor and Helen (Howard) Humphries. Bunny was predeceased by her parents Hans and Violet Solvang and her son-in-law Norman Le May.

Following her career with Poseidon Shipping Lines in Montreal, Bunny and Jack moved to the coal-mining hamlet of Sparwood, B.C. in 1969 and later moved to Williams Lake where she worked in the hospital’s medical records department.
