Designs sought for Rail Trail expansion Plan would double existing trail and extend it over the highway to Airport Rd. Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

They call it the Sardis Rail Trail. It’s a city-built cycling and pedestrian path that follows alongside the Southern Rail tracks in Chilliwack, spanning from Webb to Luckakuck way. So far. But the call has now gone out from officials at City Hall in a formal request for expressions of interest, for a 2013 expansion of the Sardis Rail Trail, to as far north as Airport Road, which would more than double the length. It would also mean the expansion would cross over Highway 1 and Chilliwack Creek. The RFEI closes Jan. 16, and they’re looking for qualified engineering consulting firms to provide preliminary designs. The first part of the trail was built in the early 90s, from Webb to Knight Road. Then they added on to it, going as far as Luckakuck Way in the late 90s, said staff. But since then staff have fielded numerous requests from the public to extend the trail north, across the Trans Canada Highway. In fact, many want it to run right into Chilliwack proper, as well requests to have it extend to the south, into Greendale, across the Vedder River and even into Yarrow. The concept of expanding the Sardis Rail Trail was initiated by Parks, Recreation and Culture Continued: TRAIL/ p4

MacAhonic makes NDP bid official But if she wins, she’ll have to give up Chamber of Commerce job Robert Freeman The Progress

Patti MacAhonic may be a political novelty as the first Chamber of Commerce official in B.C. to run for nomination as an NDP election candidate. But she won’t be the Chilliwack chamber’s executive director long, if she wins the party’s nomination Jan. 19. MacAhonic will take a leave of absence until that time, but

she is asking the chamber board to “reconsider” the denial of her request to extend the leave until the May provincial election, if she wins the nomination. “I’m not trying to be unreasonable,” she said, but it’s a “matter of principle” since past chamber employees and directors have run for office or worked on political campaigns. Without the board’s approval of an extended leave, MacAhonic will be without a paycheque for at

least four months. Chamber president Kevin Gemmell said it was “simple math,” not politics, that determined the board’s decision, and that MacAhonic would be asked to resign no matter which political party she represented. “We can’t live without somebody in the big chair for a period of four months,” he said Monday. “It’s not a political issue, it never got to that point.” City councillor Sue Attrill, who was the chamber’s executive director when she ran for election in 2008, said a policy was introduced after she won her

council seat that prevents chamber employees and directors from running for public office or working for a political candidate. “I worked (as executive director) for several months before I decided on my own to resign,” Attrill said, because she felt pressured “to vote in certain ways” on matters that came to city council. “Sometimes you can’t have two masters,” she said. “Integrity is everything.” But she declined comment on MacAhonic’s request for an extension because she didn’t know all the details.

Encouraged by PM meeting with FN leaders: Kelly Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

Prime Minister Stephen Harper is ready to meet Friday with First Nations leaders in Ottawa and a local leader is expressing gratitude for this turn of events. “We very much appreciate the hard work put in by National Chief Shawn A-in-chut Atleo and his team at the Assembly of First Nations for coordinating this important meeting,” said Grand Chief Doug Kelly, president of Sto:lo Tribal Council, which represents several Chilliwack Sto:lo communities. He gave a nod to both the “spirited campaigners” of Idle No More and Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence “for helping to focus public attention on the

treaty relationship, aboriginal rights and the urgent need to step-up the dialogue,” between First Nations and the federal government. The assertion by some rightwing pundits that there’s a “disconnect” between elected or hereditary chiefs and their citizens is simply untrue, Kelly said. “Chiefs want the same thing our citizens do,” the Grand Chief told The Progress. “They want a better world for their children and grandchildren as simple as that. And the messaging from Idle No More shows this very clearly.” The meeting between the PM and FN leaders is expected to cover treaty relationships, aboriginal rights and economic development at the end of this week.

“These are the themes settled on last January at the historic Crown/First Nations Gathering,” he pointed out. Grand Chief Kelly said he was encouraged by Harper’s statement in a press release last week, where the PM affirmed that: “The Government of Canada and First Nations have an enduring historic relationship based on mutual respect, friendship and support.” Future meetings could see discussion on issues like building transparent and accountable governance structures; empowerment through education; sustainable communities; and respect for First Nations culture and language, he added. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

The BC Coroner confirmed on Friday the name of the 16-year-old Chilliwack girl killed in a snowmobile accident Dec. 30 near the Coquihalla Lakes Lodge halfway between Hope and Merritt, B.C. Billie Brittany Bell lost control of her snowmobile after hitting two bumps in the snow, crashed into a tree and was thrown 20 feet into another tree, sustaining massive head injuries. The 11:45 a.m. accident is still under investigation, Chilliwack RCMP Cpl. Tammy Hollingsworth said on Thursday. According to an investigation report, the teen was wearing a helmet and goggles at the time of the accident. The young girl was airlifted to hospital, but did not survive her injuries. “Her father was with her at the time of the accident,” Hollingsworth said. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Port Mann de-icing stepped up after 40 vehicles crash Jeff Nagel Black Press

More frequent de-icing of the new Port Mann Bridge has been ordered after multiple accidents involving 40 vehicles jammed Highway 1 traffic early Thursday morning. Icy conditions developed along with heavy fog on the morning commute despite the bridge being sprayed with a de-icing solution at 4 a.m. Wednesday. Max Logan, spokesman for the Transportation Investment Corp.

that oversees the bridge, said the treatment of the saltwater brine solution should have lasted 48 hours but proved to be “not sufficient” as ice built up between 5 and 6 a.m. this morning, after crews ended their overnight checks. He said contractors will now be directed to apply de-icing solution at least every 24 hours on the Port Mann instead of every 48. “Clearly it was not adequate,” Logan said. “We have told them they need to apply it more frequently.” Speed was reportedly a contribut-

Logan said Mainroad Contracting has also been directed to use crystal salt in addition to the brine solution on the bridge when conditions warrant. “There’s to be no repeat of this morning’s circumstances,” he said.

VICTORIA – After shaking up the B.C. government’s financial affairs, Auditor General John Doyle will be replaced by a new financial watchdog when his six-year term expires at the end of May. Rules for the fivemember MLA committee that appoints auditors – a committee that included Chilliwack MLA John Les – require them to maintain secrecy on who didn’t support Doyle’s reappointment, which required unanimous support. NDP leader Adrian Dix said it’s clear it was one or more B.C. Liberal MLAs who voted against Doyle’s reappointment. “This is clearly a bad decision, not one that the NDP supports, not one that I support,” Dix said Monday. Opposition MLAs cite Doyle’s reports criticizing the recent buildup of BC Hydro debt and the state of B.C.’s forest inventory in the wake of a devastating pine beetle epidemic as likely reasons why Doyle wasn’t reappointed. Dix called Monday for Premier Christy Clark to intervene and ask the MLA committee to reconsider its decision to hire a new auditor. A spokesman for the premier quickly ruled that option out.

Reward offered for stolen trailer Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

A local man whose work is dependent on a stolen utility trailer is so desperate for its return, he’s offering a big cash reward.

VICTORIA – The B.C. government is rolling out its new hightech medical services cards starting Feb. 15, in an effort to phase out millions of CareCards in the hands of non-residents. The new cards will be combined with the B.C. driver’s licence, with a similar “BC Services Card” available to those who don’t drive. Residents will be required to re-enrol to renew the card every five years, whether they drive or not. Qualified residents can enrol in the Medical Services Plan at any provincial office that issues driver’s licences. There is no fee for the health services card only. The current $75 fee for a five-year driver’s licence renewal will apply to the new combined cards, discounted to $17 for seniors. There is no requirement to get the new card until your driver’s licence needs to be renewed. The govern-

Building portfolios is our business. Building relationships is our strength. A sample of the new combined driver’s licence and health card. A “BC Services Card” without driving privileges will also be available. B.C. Government

ment’s plan is to change over all eligible B.C. residents between the ages of 19 and 74 to the new cards over the next five years. To be eligible for MSP coverage, you must be a citizen or approved permanent resident of Canada, living in B.C. at least six months of the year. Dependents must also be residents to be eligible for coverage.

The health ministry announced the new card program in May 2011, after a review showed there were up to 9.1 million B.C. CareCards in circulation. The total population of B.C. is 4.5 million. Health Minister Margaret MacDiarmid said the new card is designed to comply with B.C.’s information and privacy law, which restricts how personal

data can be used and shared. That means ICBC and police have no access to medical files, and hospitals and medical offices have no access to driving records.

Another pre-election twist

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

A provincial election that promises to be unlike anything Chilliwack has seen in a while, got a little more interesting on Monday. Patti MacAhonic, executive director of the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce, ended months of speculation and announced she would seek the New Democrat nomination for the riding of Chilliwack. She’ll face Dennis Adamson, Yale area director for the Fraser Valley Regional District, at a nomination meeting on Jan. 19. In making her decision, MacAhonic also stands to lose her job. The Chamber has granted her a brief leave of absence. But in a statement released 30 minutes prior to MacAhonic’s planned press conference, the Chamber said, “If Ms. MacAhonic is successful in her bid for nomination, the board of directors of the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce have asked her to tender her resignation as Executive Director.” That puts the stakes a little higher, both for the nomination, and the upcoming election. And it adds another twist in the build up to the May vote. Chilliwack has historically been the model of conservative political stability – where candidates on the left were admired more for their willingness to be led to political slaughter than their ability to secure a convincing win. The byelection victory by the NDP’s Gwen O’Mahony broke a string of right-of-centre victories. But local Liberals remain convinced the blemish was an anomaly – something created by a temporary split in right-wing support. With that fissure seemingly sealed with the recruitment of former BC Conservative adversary John Martin into the Liberal ranks, the party appears confident it can once again out muscle any challenger from the left. But consider this: in the upcoming provincial election O’Mahony will be the veteran and the only incumbent candidate. And if MacAhonic is successful, she’ll be joined by a former Chamber of Commerce executive director, something that plays nicely into Adrian Dix’s “business friendly” demeanor. Of course, with the provincial election still months away, speculation is purely academic. What is certain is that Liberals would be foolish to take for granted their past election wins. The game has changed. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

New year resolutionary’s recipe for success December’s done. The world didn’t self-destruct on the 21st and the fiscal cliff didn’t throw us into free fall on the 31st. The apocalypse crowd is still hiding from the media and the cliff gazers are still sitting on their wallets and wondering if the edge-falling experience has only been kicked down the road a bit further and sitting in waiting. Meanwhile folks are pushing themselves off New Year’s cliffs of their own making with better, leaner, wealthier resolutions. These annual make-overs have some pretty lofty origins. The ancient Babylonians some 3,600 years ago made promises to the gods that they would return borrowed things and pay their debts. Hmm… Maybe their first king, Hammurabi, had a fiscal cliff of his own that he needed signed off. After all, this was the guy

who wrote the world’s first code of laws and had them chiseled into a stone pillar for all to read. The Romans made promises to the god Janus and, in medieval times, knights took the peacock vow after Christmas and reaf firmed their commitment to chivalry. The Vows of the Margaret Peacock was EVANS actually a 14th centur y romance story that introduced the Nine Worthies – three good pagans, three good Jews, and three good Christians. Honest, I’m not making this stuff up. Across religions there are similar rituals to right the old wrongs. The whole New Year’s resolutions thing, regardless of

creed, is an global annual selfimprovement binge. They’re the same every year – lose weight, exercise more, drink less, stop smoking, get out of debt, get more organized, reduce stress, spend more time with family, help others, get on better with the boss, and so on. They are all fine and do-able. But the real challenge is not just to get started but keep going. According to a 2007 study in the U.K., 88 per cent of those who set New Year’s resolutions failed. Some 3,000 people took part in the study and it became clear that both peer support and sharing the journey were critical to those who did succeed. Women succeeded 10 per cent more when they shared their resolutions with family and friends (the support network). Men achieved their goals 22

per cent more often when they approached the task like a work project – set goals and achieve them in a process of mini-goals. In North America, about 45 per cent of people set resolutions but only eight per cent achieve them. However, those who set explicit resolutions (rather than vague feel-good ones) are 10 times more likely to attain their goals. That is because specific goals have clarity and focus. They foster the mindset that a resolution is not so much a frivolous New Year’s decision as it is a more serious enriching, long-term life goal. Improving relationships, improving health, building wealth and security all have a pebble-in-thepond effect of rippling out to all areas of life‘s priorities. In order to succeed, the goal has to be crystal clear. Then that goal should be broken down into

mini-goals. Each step along the way must be achievable, measurable, realistic, and attained within a reasonable period of time and some committed sustained effort. Real focus on a long-term goal requires vision and motivation, organization and time. It’s not always easy, especially when progress can stall, go sideways, or be interrupted for any number of reasons. That’s when perseverance kicks in. But those who stay on target often have similar characteristics. They believe in their ability to change, they avoid excuses, they concentrate on achieving incremental results, they never forget the importance of what they are working towards, and they know that, to achieve the goal, they must enjoy the journey.

Progress Congratulations to

Common good more important than profit meetings, never the meat of the subject. Enbridge has their ads running on TV showing the birds singing, the sun shining, and flat calm surrounding the tanker and tugs. The “Idle No More” movement has spread worldwide but has only recently made its way on to the evening news, and then only if it has caused a disruption somewhere. Conspiracy? Yes, I would call it a conspiracy. It is a conspiracy of big business, big oil, big media and big government to paint this backlash as a bunch of troublemakers, funding by the aforementioned “foreign radicals.” Somebody has to step up to the plate and try to stop these things from happening. Are we to sacrifice our rivers and streams, our untouched wilderness, our pristine coastline so that some fat cats in Houston, Calgary or Beijing can give their stockholders a good year? Remember the mantra of big business, folks; “Our first responsibility is to our stock holders.” If those words don’t scare you I’m wasting my time. There has to come a time when the common good is more important than the

profit and loss statement of some oil company. The myth of all the supposed jobs this is supposed to create should be exposed, finally. One more thing, Mr. Fletcher. The technique of fracking is indeed decades old. Just because it has been done for years doesn’t make it right. I think I know whereof I speak, having spent over 15 years in the offshore oil field. I know about big oil. I’ve seen them in action. I don’t want them tramping all over the interior of this province and I sure don’t want them moving 300 to 400 supertankers up and down our coast. As an example of their attitude to the public good, think of the Ocean Ranger, the Exxon Valdez, the Alexander Kierland, and on and on and on. The recent disaster in the Gulf of Mexico is a classic example of the attitude of the oil companies. Do you want these guys building anything through the untouched wilderness of B.C.? I think not. This is not a conspiracy, Mr. Fletcher, this is fighting back anyway we can. Jerry Riches, Chilliwack

Tom Fletcher strikes again. Once more we hear about the conspiracy to take over B.C. and Canada’s environmental movement. Yes, folks, if it wasn’t for the “foreign radicals,” the Sierra Club, Coastal First Nations, Forest Ethics and Greenpeace wouldn’t be anything but paper tigers. At least that is what Mr. Fletcher implies in his column “Is natural gas the enviro-villain of 2013?” (Chilliwack Progress, Jan. 3). He describes them as having “muscled their way to the table.” I wonder if it has ever occurred to Mr. Fletcher that in a true democracy they would not have had to “muscle” in to be heard. As to the sources of their funding, what difference does it make who foots the bill as long as there is a legitimate reason for the bill to be footed? These organizations, and tens of thousands of citizens of British Columbia are dead set against the pipelines, the tanker traffic and the only way anyone in authority will pay any attention is to raise a ruckus. Being part of big business, the mainstream media only reports the disruptions of these

Depression is a common threat with teens One of the hardest times of our lives is right now as a fragile 15 year old. In this age group we are in the most vulnerable, insecure, confused stages of our lives. No one really knows who to trust, what to do, think, act, or dress. We are very dependent on others to support us throughout this time with basically everything. Not only are we dealing with trying to fit in alone but many of are dealing with bullying, sexual and verbal abuse, and previous life effecting

experiences that could be effecting them. Any of the things stated above could cause serious damage to a person’s life. They could fall in to a deep depression, or anxiety. When you fall into a depression you don’t want to do anything, you lose all motivation to proceed with life. You give up, you don’t try in school, you don’t go out, you don’t talk to your family, and you begin losing hope. What if no one noticed what if your family thought you

were just acting up as a teenager and one day that person couldn’t hold on any longer and committed suicide. The death itself could cause depression amongst the family, and close friends or even others. It would permanently change the life style they had previously lived. This can be avoided though. Everyone as a community needs to raise awareness on depression, bullying, and suicide. It has become a more and more common thing. Schools need

to provide better support for students and better counselors who can really connect and help students. Friends need to learn boundaries and need to support their friends, and parents need to know what signs to look for. The estimated amount of people using antidepressants in Canada alone is approximately 15,672,315. That is a lot, if one out of 10 people are depressed there is a huge chance someone around us is.

Homelessness on the rise in Chilliwack In any place you visit, there will be homeless people. For Chilliwack, the majority of them are downtown. We should focus less on our wants when there are people walking around without homes. Lack of affordable housing, lack of stable income, addictions, medical conditions, broken relationships, family conflict, abuse and poor personal choices are some of the main reasons why people were homeless. We have helped them with

the food kitchens that provide the meals, but they don’t offer them a place to sleep. But they should have a place because 21.4 per cent of Chilliwack’s population has no home, 37 of those are youth, 18 years of age and younger. In 2005 the total number of shelter beds in the Upper Fraser Valley is 27 and the total number of transition house beds is 60. In 2005, there were 87 homeless people. Now there are 111 people living in Chilliwack with-

out a home. Now, they can only go to the Salvation Army’s to stay in a shelter bed. Instead of building say, another shopping mall, there should be a big community building for the people who have no homes could go to sleep. There should also be a soup kitchen too, even though each Salvation Army has one, there should be one where they would “live”. Claire Woyke

A national boycott against salmon raised in open-net feedlots is coming to the parking lot of the Chilliwack Canadian Superstore for one hour on Wednesday. “This is a protest that encourages people to come out and take a stand for wild salmon,” said Skwah elder Eddie Gardner. Things have reached a tipping point, he said, and people are waking up with the Idle No More movement, as well efforts to protect wild stocks like with the Salmon are Sacred movement.

The lunch hour protest at the Superstore on Luckakuck Way on Jan. 9, “will be educational, fun and empowering,” Gardner said. “For those concerned, the time to act is now!” Consumer choice needs to tip in favour of the environment and wild salmon. “Together, we will stand up for wild salmon, lobster, and all that rely on the resources being destroyed by industrial salmon feedlots.” Attendees can sign

Will Smyl be dealing at deadline? Eric J. Welsh, The Progress

The next couple days will be anxious ones for the Chilliwack Chiefs, with the trade deadline looming Thursday. It is the last chance for Chiefs general manager Harvey Smyl to make a significant improvement to his roster heading into the playoffs. Recent struggles aside, the Chiefs have established themselves among a small group of title contenders. Backed by an MVP candidate in goaltender Mitch Gillam, Chilliwack would be a threat to beat anyone in a playoff series. And this year, there is no super Penticton Vees team standing in the way. With the landscape as it is, it would be suprising if Smyl did nothing at all.

return eventually (four to five weeks), but a forward with offensive chops would have to be at the top of Smyl’s shopping list. “I we can strengthen that area, then sure we’d like to do that, but that’s not an easy thing to do,” he cautioned. “The top six has certainly been a concern, but when Josh and Ryan return, our depth gets a lot greater.” The loss of Mitch Skapski to the Western Hockey League’s Everett Silvertips gave Smyl more to think about. The 16-year-old had locked down a regular spot. His absence hasn’t created a gaping hole, but there is room for a bottom six forward as well. “We’re looking for more grit, more size, and experience would be a very important part of it,” Smyl said. “The Skapski thing and the injuries, I’m not using them as an excuse, but it’s all taken away from a deep team concept where everyone knew their roles. Now we’re putting guys where they maybe haven’t played before, and there are some issues.” If forwards are a weak spot, defence

could be an area of strength. The Chiefs are carrying eight capable blueliners, which may give Smyl depth to deal from. “I guess we’ll deal from wherever we need to deal from to improve our hockey club,” he said, keeping his cards close. While some GMs might secretly list the trade deadline as their favourite day of the year, Smyl doesn’t like it at all. The thrill of the deal takes a back seat to human elements, and the knowledge that lives are being turned upside down. “You’ve got to remember that these are kids that you recruit, work with all year and develop relationships with,” Smyl said. “Our goal when we recruit them is not to end up trading them. But at the same time, our goal is to try to win, and we owe it to our fans to try and ice the best product possible.” There have been no early deals yet, but follow the ProgressSports Twitter feed to get the latest trades as they roll in.

Despite three losses in four games coming out of the Christmas break, the Chilliwack Chiefs are clinging to a spot in the CJHL Canadian top-20 rankings. The Chiefs check in at No. 17, down four spots from last week. The Victoria Grizzlies are the top ranked BCHL team at No. 9. The Penticton Vees are No. 12 and the Merritt Centennials got an honourable mention. See cjhlhockey.com

Mom leaves to cherish her memory sons John, Jerry (Barb), Jess and daughter Andrea (Cliff Brauner), grandchildren Chris Town, Matt Town, Lisa (Brian) Klohn, Jesse (Amy) Brauner and Cherie Brauner.Â Also sisters Nel (John) Campbell, Los Angeles Ca. and Gwen ( Ivan) Robertshaw., Shelton Wa. Shirley was born in the British Republic of Shanghai, she moved to Canada with her parents and older brother Billy. Â Her parents blessed her with two younger sisters who she cared for as if they were

her own. Â Shirl was raised a Burnaby girl where she met the love of her life, John Andrew Town, over the back fence. Â The city girl and the prairie/navy boy married May 3, 1947. Â Jackâ€™s career with Transmountain Pipeline took them toÂ Edson, Comox, Kamloops and Yarrow. Â During this time Mom raised her children with a strong hand and a kind heart. Â After Jack passed in 1973, Mom stayed on their dream hobby farm, returning to bookkeeping to support the remaining children and a menagerieÂ of animals on the â€œFunny Farmâ€?. Â She then won the contract as the rural mail carrier in Yarrow where she stayed till retirement, truly making sure the mail was delivered in all weather conditions even if the occasional tractor assisted along the way! Â Mom returned to Kamloops in 1992 to be closer to her family and purchased her home on Happyvale. Â Here she was found gardening and walking with her loyal companion Dolly at her side. Â Shirl loved life whether it be a mother to all, riding a camel in Egypt, sledding in Smithers, having Blueberry Wine in Newfoundland, Fishing at Quadra, or a weekend hockey tournament to Alberta. Â Her family and friendships are treasures that she kept dear, she was a nurturer who was always true to heart. Â We have been blessed with a wonderful mother, mentor and companion who enriched our lives in so many ways. Â She remains in our lives and hearts but has now returned home. The entire Town family would like to extend our sincere thanks to all the staff at Overlander Extended Care for the love and care they gave to Mom over the past 7 years. At Momâ€™s request there will be no formal service.Â Â
