Candidates line up support as NDP nomination draws near Related story, page 3 Robert Freeman The Progress

Neither candidate vying for the NDP nomination in the Chilliwack riding Saturday will be able to cast the traditional ballot for themselves — because neither lives in the riding.

But Dennis Adamson and Patti MacAhonic both feel riding residency won’t be an issue among party members voting at the Jan. 19 nomination meeting in Chilliwack.

“I don’t think it’s really an issue,” Adamson said, during a break in his door-knocking campaign Friday.

Adamson is the Yale area director at the Fraser Valley Regional District.

“I believe I’m a Chilliwackian,” MacAhonic said, because even though she lives outside the riding in the Chilliwack River Valley she has worked in Chilliwack as the executive director of the Chamber of Commerce and “all my mail has a Chilliwack address.”

“I think I’m pretty well known,” she said.

NDP electoral fortunes in the traditionally conservative Chilliwack riding seem brighter since MLA Gwen O’Mahony broke the BC Liberal hold on the ChilliwackHope riding in an April byelection called after MLA Barry Penner quit politics.

And then the Chilliwack riding opened up to a possible NDP win when MLA John Les announced he would not run for re-election.

According to one poll last month, if the election had been held Nov. 30 the NDP would get 48.5 per cent of the popular vote with the BC Liberals trailing at 33.1 per cent and the BC Conservatives with 10.5 per cent.

Dorothy Kostrzewa: A legacy of service Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

The death of Dorothy Kostrzewa last Friday is being mourned by many in her beloved community of Chilliwack this week.

Born August 17, 1928 as the youngest of eight children in the Chung family, Kostrzewa is being remembered for her generous warmth, enthusiasm, and fierce dedication to her community.

Recognized as a trailblazer and a positive inspiration, she was the first Chinese-Canadian woman to take political office in Canada in 1971 when elected to Chilliwack city council.

She was an accountant at the

Chilliwack General Hospital before entering politics.

The Chung family survived the Fraser River Flood of 1948, and she came by her hard-working and tenacious nature honestly.

Dorothy told a story of how she and her siblings used a raft of sorts, to dive down to retrieve fruits and vegetables from a submerged and flooded garden.

Former Chilliwack Mayor Clint Hames worked with Kostrzewa on council for 18 solid years.

“It was always a pleasure to work with Dorothy,” he said.

“What was so interesting is that there was never a job too small for her to consider. She would attack every challenge with the same

amount of class and enthusiasm, even if it was a job that nobody else wanted.”

She never said “no” to an opportunity to serve the community, and was a champion of several municipal landmarks she helped establish from the Chilliwack library, to the Chilliwack Museum, to the Cultural Centre and starting a committee to erect the Piper Richardson statue.

“It always amazed me that she led such an active political life but gathered absolutely no enemies, which can’t be said for everyone else,” Hames added. “I think people acknowledged the fact that she was so sincere, and honest and willing to put the community first.”

She served as a Chilliwack councillor for an impressive 31 years, was awarded UBCM’s long service award for 25 years.

Kostrzewa worked on councils led by seven mayors, from Bill Simpson to Clint Hames. Flags are at half mast this week at city hall.

Accolades, plaques and awards were numerous. She earned the Order of Chilliwack, was named Woman of the Year, and awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws from UFV in 2009 for outstanding community service.

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz called Kostrzewa a genuine “inspiration” who always treated everyone the same.

‘Long haul’ on the ‘high road’ for NDP hopeful Robert Freeman The Progress

NDP nomination hopeful Patti MacAhonic says she’s taking “the high road” and will resign as executive director of the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce if elected this week as the NDP candidate in Chilliwack.

Earlier, MacAhonic had vowed to challenge the

chamber board’s decision not to extend her unpaid leave of absence, if she won the NDP nomination.

MacAhonic and Dennis Adamson, Yale area director at the Fraser Valley Regional District, will square off at a nomination meeting Jan. 19 in Chilliwack.

MacAhonic told The Progress on Thursday that after meeting with chamber president Kevin Gemmell

and other board members, she decided not to ask them to reconsider their refusal to extend an unpaid leave of absence to the May 14, 2013 election, when she’ll find out if she’s won the job as MLA. “They really feel they’ll have a hard time getting (a replacement),” she said, “and if this keeps going on, it’s going to hurt the image of the chamber.”

And that’s not something MacAhonic wants to do after investing most of her life over the past two years to building up the organization.

“It is highly unusual that people have to step down,” she said, to run for political office. “But I’m going to take the high road.”

It’s not a road unfamiliar to MacAhonic, who also cleared up inaccurate media

reports about the death of her first husband in an industrial accident.

In fact, she said, he took his own life in 1988 after struggling with a “very serious” brain injury caused by the accident.

A 29-year-old widow with three children, MacAhonic threw herself into successfully changing legislation that left unprotected the children and survivors of

Big crowd for Idle No More Chilliwack Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

The Idle No More event Sunday in Chilliwack was all about protecting the environment for at least one marcher, Melissa Epp. “It’s everybody’s land to protect,” she said.

She carried her infant daughter snuggled under a warm blanket, alongside about 400 people who braved the chill near Eagle Landing to join what they called a “flash mob” over the lunch hour.

The demonstration was a way of putting the federal government and society on notice that “there is strength in numbers,” Epp said.

People are upset enough about perceived threats to the natural environment to try and do something about it now.

“We all need to stand together on this,” Epp said. “Harper is not listening. That’s why these rallies are so important. We’ll do anything we can to protect this land.

“I came here today especially for my daughter. I want her to be able to experience the beauty of this province. I believe as British Columbians, we have the most to lose.”

The crowd marched en masse from the Shell gas station on Squiala First Nation to a spot near the Home Depot along Evans Parkway in Chilliwack, singing, and drumming along the way.

Some proudly wore elements of their traditional regalia, like cedar hats. Some pushed toddlers in strollers or elders in wheelchairs, while others carried drums, or placards.

A peaceful gathering with speeches was held in a clearing and RCMP said there were no incidents or safety concerns to report.

Squiala Chief David Jimmie said when he was asked to support this latest Idle No More event, there was “no question” it was the right thing to do.

“I’m an elected leader,” said the chief, “but this is a grass roots movement.

She also went on to get a Masters Degree in business and to become the executive director of the BC Brain Injury Association and the BC Wildlife Federation.

She is now married to husband Randy and together they have four children.

People need to take the time to become educated about various bills and omnibus legislation with potential to impact all their communities, from eradicated collective property rights to the implications of changes to the Navigable Waters Act or the First Nations Land Ownership Act. “It’s the ones here drumming, the young ones. That’s what we’re here for; that’s what we’re fighting for,” Chief Jimmie said.

Four elderly residents were treated for smoke inhalation after a kitchen fire in an apartment building on Edward Street Thursday.

A cigarette discarded in a plastic bucket is believed to be the cause.

But it’s not clear if inhaling the smoke from the burning plastic directly led to the injuries suffered by the four seniors.

“They were probably in the suites in the same hallway as the kitchen fire,” Assistant Fire Chief Ian Josephson said.

As a “precaution” BC Ambulance paramedics sent the four to Chilliwack General Hospital for observation, he said.

There were no other injuries reported among the residents who evacuated the three-story building after the alarm system was activated at 12:12 p.m.

Thick, black smoke on the ground floor was seen by firefighters upon arrival.

Fire crews extinguished a fire in the kitchen area of one of the suites, and the smoke was ventilated.

“There is extensive fire damage to the kitchen area with considerable smoke damage to the remainder of the one suite and hallway,” Josephson said.

Earlier on Thursday, a kitchen fire was reported in a single-wide manufactured home in the 6000block Vedder Road.

The owner was not home at the time of the 7:59 a.m. fire, and no injuries were reported.

Fire damages were limited to the kitchen area, with extensive some damage to the rest of the trailer.

Boycott sparks farmed fish debate in Chilliwack

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress

A national campaign to boycott open-net fish farm products all comes down to consumer choice, said a local organizer.

“This is a people’s movement. People are consumers. With expanded awareness people can make healthy, ethical choices, one of which would be to boycott feedlot salmon,” said Skwah elder Eddie Gardner.

He organized a protest at the Real Canadian Superstore parking lot in Chilliwack, as a local launch of the boycott last Wednesday.

“Salmon are sacred to us Stó:lõ,” said Robert Jimmie. “First Nations people need to be consulted on any further decisions that are taken respecting any expansion or renewals of fish farm licenses.”

Some wild salmon advocates are convinced there’s a link between industrial fish farming in the ocean and the decline in Fraser River salmon stocks.

“The devastating track record of open net feedlots on the West Coast and East Coast over 20

some years is getting worse, not better,” said Chris Gadsden, who was part of the Paddle for the Wild Salmon in 2010.

That effort was instrumental Bruce Cohen asking for the release of the disease records for the previous decade.

However an aquaculture PR rep is now saying some of the information circulated during the protest in Chilliwack last week was based on “fear not facts.”

“Debate and discussion about the food we

eat and how it’s grown should be encouraged, and in a farming community like Chilliwack, where I grew up, I would hope the voice of the farmers would be considered with respect,” said Grant Warkentin, spokesman for Mainstream Canada.

“Unfortunately, the information presented to the public by the protestors is short on facts and full of fear. We are open and transparent about how we produce healthy, safe farmed salmon, grown in B.C. by B.C. farmers.”

He says their industry is more transparent than most other types of farming.

“For example, specific information about the health of our fish has been available to the public since 2003. And today, DFO publishes detailed monthly information about our farms for anyone to see. Our farming practices are based on the best available science, and our evolution over the past 30 years shows just how far we’ve come.

R AESIDE

There is a saying, that if you want something done, give it to a busy person. That was certainly the case for Dorothy Kostrzewa.

The former city councillor and longtime Chilliwack champion passed away Friday, sparking a flood of tributes that continued throughout the weekend.

Flags at city council, where she spent 31 years representing the interests of the community, were lowered to half staff in her honour.

Kostrzewa retired from politics in 2008, leaving behind a legacy of hard work, dedication and an unstinting commitment to make things better.

There was hardly a department, committee or subcommittee, that didn’t feel the charge of her energy. As former mayor Clint Hames remembered, “there was never a job too small for her to consider.

She would attack every challenge with the same amount of class and enthusiasm, even if it was a job that nobody else wanted.” (See story, front page.)

Indeed, even after she retired from public life, she remained active in the community, particularly in the arts community which she loved.

Her accomplishments are many. Recipient of the Order of Chilliwack, Millennium Woman of the Year, Sportsman of the Year, Paul Harris recipient. The list goes on.

But all these accolades were the result of her efforts – not the motivation behind them.

Her energy was only surpassed by her humility.

And perhaps that is her true legacy to Chilliwack.

In a world where politics and public life draw their share of criticism, Kostrzewa remains to many an example of selfless service.

It is a model we can only hope for in our elected officials.

But one we have the opportunity to aspire to in our daily lives as citizens of this city.

Dorothy Kostrzewa showed us how. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

More than protests needed to fix the system

Blockades, starvation diets, protests and threats really don’t solve anything. They get people’s attention and make for some good media play, but do they get solutions?

The tactics have defined the grassroots movement Idle No More and Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence liquid-only diet until she has a joint meeting with PM Harper and Governor General David Johnston.

Quite frankly, there are faults on both sides when it comes to the friction between the federal government and First Nations people. The feds have long dragged their heels on dealing with First Nations’ issues while aboriginal people are frustrated with seeing their treaty rights ignored or set aside. But deeper than that, there are the accumulated effects from being marginalized, disrespected or forgotten.

government signed the Kelowna Accord to provide $5.5 billion in spending over five years on education, housing, health care, economic development and skills training for natives.

The following year the Harper government dumped it.

The recent report released by the Missing W o m e n Commission Margaret brought attention to the culture of EVANS indifference by officials toward the disappearance or murders of many aboriginal women.

Meanwhile non-native Canadians are just as frustrated and confused. Billions of dollars are poured into band council coffers every year. Where does all that money go?

The annual budget for Aboriginal

Affairs and Northern Development Canada (AANDC) is about $7.8 billion for the 2012-2013 year and some 83 per cent goes directly to transfer payments to bands. Actual expenditure for community infrastructure has averaged $1.1 billion annually since 2004 to 2012 and according to the AANDC website actual expenditures for education and social development have both increased annually since 2004.

Some of these numbers are about to change with the Department facing $165 million in spending cuts over the coming three years.

So why is it, when billions of dollars are provided to bands across the country, housing on so many reserves remains worse than third world country accommodation? To Canada’s embarrassment, Attawapiskat is the poster village.

Last week an audit done on the Attawapiskat financials by Deloitte and Touche stated that

81 per cent of a total of over 1,000 money transactions did not have the proper paperwork and 61 per cent had none at all. This audit targeted $104 million transferred to the 1,828-population community in northern Ontario between 2005 and 2011.

Despite the fact that there are a number of bands that are economically wealthy, many exist on reserves in remote regions of Canada where work and economic opportunities are slim to none. Poverty, addictions, despair, and suicide become hallmarks of a community of people isolated and displaced from mainstream Canada. Why can’t they move location, taking all their treaty rights with them?

There are over 1.17 million aboriginals with over 868,000 registered Indians in Canada, representing nearly four per cent of the population and 615 bands across the country. The number includes

Meti and non-status Indians. Last week the Federal Court ruled that the 200,000 Meti and 400,000 nonstatus Indians are also “Indians” under the Constitution Act indicating they deserve of full treaty rights. Just how Ottawa will react to that remains to be seen.

It was the controversial omnibus budget bills – C-38 and C-45 – that fueled the Idle No More grassroots movement. Changes to environmental assessments, the Indian Act, and Navigable Waters Protection Act were all viewed as threats and infringements on a cultural way of life and on traditional hunting and fishing rights.

The mindsets need to change between the feds, First Nations, and frustrated Canadians. Funding to bands needs to be managed transparently, social issues have to be solved, and treaty rights respected. Until then, nothing moves forward.

This seems to be the idea that most truck drivers and many other drivers have stuck in their heads: that Yarrow is no more than a street – just a route to wherever they may be going.

They don’t seem to think about the fact that there are people here. Many of them are families with young kids, and let’s not forget the animals. There are at least as many if not more dogs, cats and horses here as there are people and they happen to be just as dear to the families as the kids are. Losing one of them hurts and we don’t want another family to go through the unnecessary pain that we did.

Living on the main street has

always been a bit scary but never was it worse to us than when my little brother and mother were forced to watch the horrible tragedy that happened right in front of our house. This event will never leave our hearts or minds, and the fact that the truck drivers just keep speeding by doesn’t help.

I’m not sure what it’ll take for them to stop – maybe speed bumps or higher police patrol.

But I don’t want our community to end up with a child or teen killed or maimed by a speeding truck. Is risking lives really worth getting to your destination faster?

A small town we may be; drive through it fast enough and you won’t even notice we’re here.

But if I know anything about small towns (which I do because I was raised in one), it’s that the smaller the town the bigger the heart. Here in Yarrow, our heart’s a pretty good size. This was demonstrated personally a few months ago when my family’s sweet little white Jack Russell was drastically swept away from us by the speeding tires of a dump truck. We had two strangers, including one lady on her way to work stop by and help my mom pick up Pixie’s remains and another a few hours later drop off a candle that said “Thinking of You.” As I said before, if you drive

Feeling the sting of ‘systemic racism’ It has been five years since my family and I immigrated to Canada.

The first year was difficult and hard to adjust.

The second was not any better. Our building blocks of wealth decreased drastically as if a pile of sand was washed away. Without much of a choice, my whole family started wrapping and delivering over a thousand flyers and newspapers every week, even in severe weather conditions such as blizzards and hailstorms. In addition, my father began to work as an employee in a supermarket, paid by hourly wages. By then, I had never in my life imagined my highlyeducated father to be a part-timer labouring, in a store. Why didn’t the

government recognize his post-secondary education?

When we moved to British Columbia, life turned for the better, well, that was what we first thought.

My father was promoted to become a full-time super visor, school was interesting, and we bought a new townhouse. However, numerous stressful problems emerged out of these positive situations. For instance, not long after my father was promoted, one of his co-workers under his department filed false complaints to the higher-ups. Due to the language barrier, my father tried his best to understand and explain, but the higher-ups categorized him as a “trou-

blemaker”. Furious and frustrated, I typed a five-paged explanation for my father in order to solve such a ridiculous problem. Clearly, systemic racism still lingers Canadian society.

On the other hand, when we requested the builder of our townhouse to fix some little damages during the warranty period, he walked straight into the house with his shoes on, even though we asked him to take them off. Seeing my one-year old sister crawling on the floor, I was infuriated and just when I was about to release my anger, my mother shook her head. In that forty minutes, I swallowed down humiliation and fury with my fists clenched.

Now when I look back, stress has not dispersed and traces of melancholy seemed to have imprinted in my heart. Why is there prejudice in such a tranquil nation?

I may only be 16 years of age and have yet to know what is right and wrong. Nevertheless, I am not only speaking for my family, but for thousands of families that had immigrated to Canada. This ugly racism must be thrown out and a social awareness needs to be raised by social-media and the government. As a community, co-operation is essential to work toward a brighter future.

She gave credit where credit was due, but never for herself. If anyone made a fuss about her, she’d wave her hand away.”

Adamson said although he lives outside the riding he lived in Chilliwack for seven years and he’s been dealing with Chilliwack issues during his four years at the FVRD board where he also gained “hands-on” government experience and “an overview (of the issues) in the whole valley.”

He said he’s also lowered taxes while increas-

ing services in the Yale area, and he wants to do the same for the people in the Chilliwack riding.

“I listen to what people want, and I fight to get it done,” he said.

MacAhonic said she has proven leadership experience in business, environmental and social fields as executive director of the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce, former executive director of the BC Wildlife Federation and former

executive director at the BC Brain Injury Association.

She was also a key player in cooling down hostilities between sport and aboriginal fishermen on the Fraser River after a Sto:lo chief was shot while net fishing in 2010.

MacAhonic has also garnered some high-profile endorsements from former BC NDP Leader Carole James, NDP Environment Critic MLA Rob Fleming and local

NDP stalwarts Rollie Keith and Jean Scott.

Adamson also has endorsements former BC NDP President Sav Dhaliwal and NDP Critic for Aboriginal Affairs MLA Scott Fraser.

Salmon farms just like Chilliwack farms: proponent actually seen it for themselves.

“In Chilliwack, people are comfortable with the sights, sounds and smells of dair y barns and chicken farms and blueberry fields, and have a general idea of how they work because they can see them and talk to the farmers.

“Salmon farms are usually in remote locations and it’s hard for people to get familiar with something they never see. But the farms and farmers are not much different from farms and farmers in the Fraser Valley.

‘Wrong house’ targeted in home invasion: RCMP Robert Freeman The Progress

A home invasion by two armed men in Chilliwack Saturday night was a homeowner’s nightmare.

The two men who entered the Bayshore Avenue home in Webster Landing just after 11 p.m. had the wrong house.

“Through the investigation, police have determined that the suspects involved

had the wrong residence,” RCMP Const.

Tracy Wolbeck said.

“I can’t imagine a more terrifying experience for these people,” she said.

“Although nobody in the residence was physically injured, it’s going to take them a long time to recover mentally.”

The two men demanded cash from the six occupants, and then fled the scene.

One of the suspects was

wearing a baseball cap, and had a medium build with brown hair and stubble on his face.

The second suspect was about six feet tall and was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and sweat pants.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Chilliwack RCMP at 604792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS. rfreeman@theprogress.com twitter.com/paperboy2

Elderly man stabbed while collecting cans

A 69-year-old Chilliwack man is recovering in hospital after being stabbed while collecting cans Thursday night.

“This is a really senseless attack on an elderly man,” said RCMP Cst. Tracy Wolbeck.

Police say the man was collecting cans in the area of College Street and Victoria Ave. at around midnight when he came upon a man in an abandoned building. After the victim asked the male what his business was there, the victim was knocked to the ground and stabbed.

The victim is currently in hospital recovering from non-life threatening injuries.

Outdoorsy couple hopes to win dream wedding Tammy Wood and fiancé Jason Alexander are finalists in a contest to win a wedding in Mexico with 10 guests Jenna Hauck The Progress

Tammy Wood and Jason Alexander’s house is surprisingly quiet considering that there are nine children at home ranging in age from three to 15.

And yes, it’s normal, says Wood.

The house didn’t used to be quite so full. In 2009, before the two had even met, Wood suddenly became a single mom after her husband was killed in a workplace accident. She was the mother of five children, with another on the way.

For two years she raised her six kids by herself in Agassiz. She had some help from family, friends, counsellors, and even complete strangers, but while she was busy keeping her children happy without a father, Wood forgot about making herself happy. She started to get lonely.

She approached a friend and told her that she wanted to go out for coffee with someone. She wanted to go on a date and have an adult conversation.

Her friend had someone in mind and, through Facebook, they connected. Wood and Alexander hit it off instantly.

Over the course of a year, they fell in love and last summer on a boat out in the middle of Harrison Lake, Alexander proposed to Wood.

She said “yes”.

Then one morning last month as Wood was watching the morning news on Global TV, she saw a contest they were offering to win a dream wedding in Mexico.

“I thought for everything that I’ve been through over the years, if anyone deserves it, I do,” says Wood.

Jason Alexander and Tammy Wood (centre) with nine of their 10 children. The couple is a finalist in Global B.C.’s Win a Dream Wedding contest. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

She entered the contest and wrote to them about her life since the death of her husband, and how she met Alexander.

“Planning a wedding has been a daunting task financially. I am on

a WCB widow pension and Jason has been temporarily unable to work due to an illness,” she wrote.

“With a large family to support, and a wedding to plan, it would be a dream come true to win this

dream wedding in Mexico.”

The station chose the couple as one of the top 10 finalists for its contest. The $20,000 grand prize is an all-inclusive, seven-day trip to Cancun, Mexico with a wedding

for the couple plus 10 guests.

How coincidental.

I chose real estate as a career because I love helping people make the transition into their new homes and seeing the excitement when they have actually lived there and made it their own.

Your satisfaction is my “Top Priority.” Our homes are lifetime investments coupled with strong personal ties. Buying & selling a home ranks among my clients’ most important experiences.

I will take the time to listen to your needs and desires and help you every step of the way. I am currently helping many clients purchase and sell and I feel this career is a perfect fit with my outgoing personality and dedication to helping others.

I have lived in the Chilliwack and surrounding area most of my life and graduated from Chilliwack Senior in 1985. Call me today to discuss your real estate needs.

Driven to move you!

When you need an agent you can count on, I am a high energy full time Realtor who is determined to deliver the very best service to every client while ensuring their dreams are fulfilled.

I have lived and worked in many areas of Chilliwack for over 30 years, prior to real estate sales as a mortgage professional and a small business owner, which has helped me gain insight to Chilliwack and its various neighbourhoods. With my background in real estate financing, I can guide you through the buying process with ease.

Listings wanted…if you are thinking of selling the market is active…now is a great time to sell. You can count on me to get your home sold quickly and for top dollar! No one sells more real estate than RE/MAX and I am proud to be aligned with Chilliwack’s top selling office.

I love to talk with clients and prospective clients and welcome your calls.

“As local conditions continue to favour the buyer, it is more important than ever to listen to the advice of a skilled REALTOR® if you are trying to sell” said Ms. Admiraal. “It is imperative that your home is priced correctly to reflect market conditions and align with comparable listings.”

If you are currently renting, you may be surprised to learn that in many instances, a mortgage payment is more affordable than a rental payment. Continued stable prices and low interest rates are making home ownership more affordable than ever. Make an appointment with a lender to see how much you would be pre-approved for, and contact any one of the more than 265 qualified REALTORs® in your area.

– Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board Press Release

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey.

I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here.

So I feel like I’m well qualified to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

While several Lower Mainland communities will encounter reductions in their property assessments, Chilliwack and area’s stable housing market continues to fare well in staying the course.

“Once again, we are witnessing pockets of over-inflated prices due to the pressures of supply and demand, and many home owners in the Lower Mainland are left in the position of watching their property values decline,” said Cynthia Admiraal, President of the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB).

Chilliwack’s “flat” pricing in recent months has helped to ensure that prices are more affordable to the various segments of purchasers, from the first-time buyer to those who are able to attain their dream home.

While the Christmas season saw a slow-down in sales – 106 sales completed in December compared to 120 in December of last year – inventory remains good, and CADREB predicts a steady upward trend in sales as the U.S. economy strengthens and the transition back to the PST takes place this spring which will likely heighten interest in new builds.

Of the 106 sales last month, the highest number (14) occurred in the $300,000 - $349,999 range, matched by 14 sales in the $400,000 - $499,999 range. There were 8 sales of homes over the $500,000 mark. At the end of December, there were 1,664 active listings on the market.

As a president’s club recipient since 2009 I pride myself on an excellent work ethic.

ADVERTORIAL

The New Face of Hair Removal While looking for a solution, many are finding that their problems are not solved but only postponed.

Laser hair removal, the newest fad, will not deliver permanently beautiful hair free skin. In fact, recent studies show it could actually result in an accelerated hair growth and/or pigment discoloration.

After spending two years and $1800 on laser hair removal treatments and still suffering from unwanted hair in the same spots, Angela MacKenzie turned to Jade Electrolysis because of their unheard of guarantee which promises permanent results. “I have finally had permanent hair removal and, most importantly, I trust Jade Electrolysis completely,” says Angela.

Invented in 1869, Electrolysis has stood the test of time as the only permanent solution. As with many things, with time and technology, it’s only improved. By using computerized machines and surgical microscopes, Jade Electrologists is able to work more accurately to deliver permanent results in less time with a one-time investment.

Although Electrolysis is the only treatment that can promise permanent results, Jennifer Desloges, founder of Jade Electrolysis, explains that success is also contingent on the skill of the Electrologist.

To help us understand why, she explained a few basics. Electrolysis is the procedure of inserting a

very fine needle into the hair follicle (a pre-existing hole) so you should not feel the needle poke or break the skin. Once inserted, the needle delivers a controlled current to “kill” the root. If the current is insufficient, the root will not release the hair and you will feel the hair being “tweezed” as it’s removed. If you feel the needle going in or the hair coming out, the hair will grow back and you could end up with scarring and/ or nerve damage.

Safety is also a huge concern with hair removal.

Disposable needles, gloves, hospital grade sterilization & other disease prevention protocols have to be considered.

Only Jade practitioners offer the Desloges Method which Jennifer developed over 23 years in private practice and teaching.

She has trademarked the Jade Logo to eliminate confusion to the public.

“Not all Electrologists are created equal, if you don’t see the logo, it is not the Desloges Method,” says Desloges.

The first Jade franchise opened in 2010, with the 14th clinic scheduled to open in the summer of 2013.

Alzheimer awareness aims to eliminate stigmatism of dementia lence is there but the conversation isn’t yet and that’s what we hope to address,” explains Armit.

Today, 747,000 Canadians have dementia, 70,000 whom are British Columbians.

While dementia can affect people as young as 40 years of age, the risk doubles every five years after 65.

The number of Canadians with dementia is expected to double to 1.4 million in the next 20 years, including more than 177,000 British Columbians.

“By talking more open-

ly about dementia, we can all help to increase awareness about the symptoms, encourage earlier diagnosis and provide support for families to have the confidence and skills for the journey ahead.”

To help change the conversation, she says, area residents can do their part if they: • Learn the facts about dementia.

Help to dispel inaccurate information to change society’s attitudes and opinions towards people with the disease.

• Stop making jokes about Alzheimer’s which trivialize the condition.

“We don’t tolerate racial jokes, yet dementia-related jokes are common.”

• Maintain relationships with people with dementia at home, in the community or at work, especially as the disease progresses.

If a close friend told you she has dementia, would you avoid her for fear of being embarrassed by what she might say or do?

If you answered “yes,” you’re not alone.

According to a recent poll by Alzheimer’s Disease International, 40 per cent of people with dementia reported they had been avoided or treated differently after diagnosis.

It’s no surprise, then, that one in four respondents cited stigma as a reason to conceal their diagnosis, says Jillian

The Chilliwack

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Instant impact for trade deadline pickup Eric J. Welsh, The Progress

Say this much about Philip Zielonka.

The kid knows how to make a good first impression.

Zielonka was the big trade deadline acquisition for the Chilliwack Chiefs, picked up Thursday in exchange for defenceman Ben Israel, forward Garret Forster and futures. He made his Chilliwack debut Friday night in a home game against Prince George.

For 55 minutes, Zielonka and the Chiefs muddled along. Down 2-1 with five to play, it looked like Chilliwack was destined for its fourth loss in five postChristmas games.

But in the final minute of the game, Zielonka picked up his first point in a Chiefs jersey when he put a weak shot on net from the right faceoff dot.

Spencer Graboski chipped the puck over Prince George netminder Kirk Thompson to send the game to overtime and rescue at least a single point.

Two minutes and 49 seconds into OT, with Chilliwack on a power play, defenceman Alex Perron-Fontaine floated a cross-ice pass to Zielonka. Thompson was slow getting across, and Zielonka hit the gaping net with a gamewinning snipe.

Cheers all round.

“There’s always a lot of open ice on a power play, and if I have time and space I can usually make the right play,” the Quebec native said afterwards. “Fonti gave me a great pass and there was just too much room for me to miss.”

Zielonka came to the Chiefs from the Coquitlam Express, one of Chilliwack’s Mainland division rivals.

The Express dealt their entire top line on Thursday, sending John Siemer to Penticton and Mitch Nardi to the West Kelowna Warriors.

Coquitlam had lost five straight leading into the deadline, slipping into the basement

of the Mainland division at 16-20-1-0.

Still, Zielonka wasn’t sure he was staying or going until he was called into the coach’s office.

“We had no idea. We thought we were going to make a push for the playoffs,” he said. “I got to rink and they told me and it was mixed emotions.”

Being traded is tough at first.

You have to say goodbye to teammates you spent every day with.

You say goodbye to billets who’ve opened their home to you.

You leave an environment you’ve grown comfortable with and have to start over again with new billets and new teammates in a new town.

“I’m really good friends with Siemer and Nardi off the ice, so it was a really sad thing taking a different direction from those guys,” Zielonka said. “It was like a roller coaster heading into the deadline, with days where I thought I was staying and days where I though the opposite.

But it’s part of hockey and something we have to do.”

A few hours later, Zielonka found himself in the Chiefs locker room, surrounded by former foes. The last time Chilliwack and Coquitlam met, Zielonka and Trevor Hills mixed it up in the final minutes of a 5-3 Chiefs win.

Zielonka ended up in the penalty box with a double minor for spearing.

“I saw Hillsy for the first time and we both kind of apologized for the cheap shots,” Zielonka laughed.

“Honestly, I disliked a lot of the guys on this team. But when you get traded you’ve got to put all of that aside.

Whatever happened in the past is done and now we move forward together.”

One familar face is new linemate Luke Esposito.

Both players will be heading to Harvard after this season.

“He’s obviously a

great player and a leader off the ice and I was thrilled when he committed to Harvard too,” Zielonka said. “He was the first guy I texted when I got traded here, and we’re really excited to play together.”

After squeaking past Prince George Friday, Zielonka and company hit the road for weekend games on Vancouver Island.

Chilliwack lost 2-1 at Victoria on Saturday, with Austin Plevy scoring the lone Chief goal.

The locals bounced back Sunday afternoon with a 2-1 win over a dreadful Cowichan Valley Capital squad, with Zielonka and Jaret Babych getting the goals.

“Scoring goals is pretty much my main thing, but I don’t want to be viewed as an offenceonly guy,” Zielonka said, when asked what he’ll bring to the table.

“I try to do everything, but offensively is where I’ll do the most damage.”

Chilliwack comes

out of the weekend with a record of 24-121-1, which leaves them second in the Mainland division behind the Surrey Eagles (24-10-13).

The Eagles picked up Adam Tambellini from the Vernon Vipers, and he made an instant impact. In weekend wins over Penticton (2-1) and Langley (10-2) Tambellini collected five goals and two assists, and he obviously makes Surrey a lot more dangerous.

But Zielonka feels a healthy Chilliwack team, with Josh Hansen and Ryan Donohoe back in the lineup, will take a back seat to no one once the BCHL playoffs begin.

“They were always one of the hardest teams to play against, with a lot of tough players,” he said. “They’re skilled too, and toughness and skill is a pretty deadly combo. There’s a lot of potential and if we gel together we can make a good push for it.”

Burns brings physical edge Lost in the shuffle Friday night, another player made a quiet Chilliwack Chiefs debut.

The team signed 19-year-old forward Tanner Burns away from the junior B North Okanagan Knights.

Burns was leading the KIJHL squad in scoring with 23 goals and 39 points in 34 games.

But that’s not why Chiefs general manager Harvey Smyl signed him.

Burns is a good sized forward at six-foot-three and 190 pounds, and he had 60 penalty minutes for the Knights.

Smyl hopes that physical play

translates well to junior A. ”Tanner is a big bodied, physical forward who has skill and can play both centre and wing,” Smyl noted.

Burns picked up his first BCHL PIMs just 2:24 into his Chiefs debut, taking a charging minor behind the Prince George net.

He picked up his first point Sunday afternoon, assisting on Jaret Babych’s game-winning goal.

Burns and the Chiefs are in Prince George for two this weekend.

Their next home game is Jan. 23 versus those same Spruce Kings.

Chips may still fall in deadline deals Between Jan. 8-10 there were 15 transactions involving BCHL teams, with 22 players switching jerseys.

Many more might move in the offseason as the future considerations come to light.

The future are certain to be significant in the deal that sent Adam Tambellini to Surrey. 18-year-old Mason Blacklock is the only player officially going to Vernon, but there will be more.

John Siemer went from Coquitlam to Penticton for futures.

Mitch Nardi went from Coquitlam

to West Kelowna for futures and Aaron Hadley went from Vernon to Nanaimo for futures.

It’s unlikely those players would be let go for cash.

The BCHL and AJHL collaborated on player moves, with Nanaimo sending Kevin Miller and futures to the Fort MacMurray Oil Barons for Brock Maschmeyer.

Surrey sent Eric Chevrier to the Brooks Bandits and Alberni Valley picked up Chase Paylor from the Olds Grizzlies.
