The leaders of the two most popular parties in the province stopped by Chilliwack on Wednesday to back their local candidates, expand on their election platforms, and throw stones at each other. Liberal leader Christy Clark toured Langley Concrete in Chilliwack that morning. “Langley Concrete is helping drive economic growth in Chilliwack – that means growth for the whole province,” she said. The B.C. Liberals platform is meant to accelerate the existing B.C. Jobs Plan. Included within is a 40 per cent tax reduction to small businesses.
While Clark wanted to give business owners tax breaks, NDP leader Adrian Dix focused on supplying them with enough skilled labour during his same day tour of the University of the Fraser Valley’s Trades and Technology centre. The visit came just after announcing that an NDP government would invest $40 million in skills training and $100 million into student grants annually. “If we fail to act, the growing skills shortage facing BC will hamstring our economy and hurt the private sector’s ability to increase productivity and create jobs,” said Dix. “And the inequality that plagues B.C. – already the worst in Canada – will only get worse... I’ve met with hundreds of business

people in the past two years and the consistent message I hear is that they cannot find the skilled workers they need to take advantage of opportunities to grow,” he continued. Dix called B.C.’s skills shortage a “major impediment.” Both parties have focussed their campaigns on chipping away at each other’s platforms. The NDP has argued that the Liberal budget cuts funding to post-secondary education, even though the vast majority of new jobs require a certificate or degree. The Liberals, meanwhile, maintain that the NDP’s “reckless spending” will drive the province’s economy into the ground. Dix also lambasted the Liberals
for spending on partisan ads. “A debt-free B.C., and tes voliquified When questioned by a reporter on natural gas, go hand in hand.1LNG 20 3 Wednesday whether the Liberals’ is a trillion dollars in new economic latest $100,000 television ad, growth over 30 years,” Clark said. and others like it, are par“It’s a once in a lifetime opportisan, Clark gave a terse tunity, but we need to seize “no they weren’t” reply. it.” The NDP argue When questioned s e votesbya vot that in the three The Progress on how 2013will 2013 years that Clark has Liberal government been in power, the ensure that the develprovincial debt load opments that go along has increased and the province with large scale LNG export don’t experienced the second worse job damage the environment at home, growth in Canada.

Tourism: ‘Staycation’ trend likely to continue Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
Last year saw the second highest hotel tax revenues for Chilliwack since they started collecting them in 2000. The $150,801 earned in hotel tax revenues for 2012 represents a percentage of more than $7.5 million in hotel and motel room stays, said Brian Coombes, executive director of Tourism Chilliwack in his 2012 Year in Review report to city council. “That’s not bad considering the
total number of rooms Chilliwack has,” he said. It’s a reflection of room rates being competently managed, as well as occupancy rates, Coombes added. When the Hampton Inn opens, Chilliwack will have 600 hotel rooms. The highest hotel tax revenues ever were earned in 2010, at $154,453, in part due to the Winter Olympics. Tourism Chilliwack concentrates on marketing Chilliwack as a destination, on providing visitor services as well an entrepreneurial
mindset, and partnership development. Councillor Jason Lum asked Coombes what’s in store for Chilliwack in terms of summer tourist visitations. Coombes confirmed that he expects the “staycation” trend to continue with the high price of gas, where travellers tend to stick close to home for day-trips and getaways. “I think we’ll see that continue,” he said. Hotel industry reps found the climate very challenging in rebuild-
ing business since the economy crashed in 2008. “We’re so weather dependent, it’s a huge part of what the overall year looks like,” Coombes said. “If the weather cooperates and we get a long stretch of sunshine, because we’re a destination close to major markets, we can become that lastminute getaway destination.” Regardless of weather, there are some who will always seek out Chilliwack as an affordable vacation spot. “Luckily we don’t rely as much as other cities on international visi-
tations. Our main focus is regional, those who are looking for holidays close to home. So in that sense I think it will be similar to last year.” Sport fishing continues to be the number one draw to Chilliwack, and Cultus Lake A new website is in the works for next month, which is timely since it’s the “foundation” of all of Tourism Chilliwack’s marketing, he said. They have a new, modernized logo and tagline, Where Events Happen. Continued: Tourism/ p14

Chilliwack teachers took to the streets on Monday to remind residents to consider education issues when choosing their candidate in the provincial election. “As in any election, there’s so many things for people to pay attention to that it’s easy for any of the things that people feel strongly about to slip through the cracks,” said Chilliwack Teachers’ Association president Clint Johnston. Although the CTA will not endorse a candidate, the group does send out election-related information privately to members
to better inform their voting. The CTA identified three education issues as key for this election. First is no surprise: funding. “We have seen so many reductions in supports for children in classrooms, in supports for the children that have special needs. Our librarians have been absolutely cut to the bone,” said CTA vicepresident Laurie Lenardon. She also teaches Grade 1 at Vedder Elementary School, where the 450 students have only a 60 per cent librarian. Second is waiting for testing for special needs students. “We’ve got more special needs kids than ever before being iden-

A high-ranking member of the UN Gang pleaded guilty on Tuesday to manslaughter in the death of Jonathan Barber of Langley and to conspiring to murder the Bacon brothers and their associates. Dan Russell, 31, is slated to be sentenced Friday in B.C. Supreme Court in Vancouver. The murder-conspiracy charges relate to the period from Jan. 1, 2008 to Feb. 17, 2009, when the Bacon brothers lived in Abbotsford. This span was marked by warnings from the Abbotsford Police Department that anyone associating with the Bacon brothers – Jonathan, Jarrod and Jamie – was putting their life at risk. On New Year’s Eve 2009, Bacon associate Dennis Karbovanec survived a targeted shooting in Mission. On Jan. 20 of that year, Jamie Bacon escaped with his life following a drive-by shooting at the busy intersection of South Fraser Way and Sumas Way in Abbotsford at about 4 p.m. The following month, another Bacon associate, Kevin LeClair of Abbotsford, died in a hail of gunfire while in his vehicle outside an IGA store in Walnut Grove. Ten days later, Red Scorpions Tyler Willock and Fraser Sutherland survived a targeted shooting outside the T-Barz show lounge in Surrey.

hree wise, warm Antiguan teachers joined University of the Fraser Valley kinesiology instructor Joanna Sheppard — and her students — in elementary schools across the Chilliwack school district this month. It’s the first visit by Antiguan educators since Sheppard began taking students to the Caribbean island seven years ago (including five expeditions with UFV students and two during her time as a doctoral student at the University of Toronto) in conjunction with the Champions for Health Promoting Schools program. This year, Sheppard will bring 21 UFV Champion students (including six students from the Teacher Education program) to Antigua April 27 through May 26. The UFV students will focus on teaching life skills such as teamwork and listening through lessons and games. After arriving March 29, the three Antiguan teachers from Five Islands Primary School (Andrea Douglas, Chetisha Jacobs, and Denese Parker) expected to learn some skills for teaching physical education. Instead, they left April 13 with a far wider spectrum of teaching practices thanks to their experience with UFV.

Theatre comes alive at Directors’ Fest! Antiguan teachers Denese Parker and Andrea Douglas enjoy a lively game of rock-paper-scissors at Watson Elementary.
“We’ve been shown a different way of teaching the same subject or skill. You choose the pedagogy that works,” said Jacobs. The Antiguans were met with a warm welcome at Watson Elementary in Chilliwack April 8 (they’re visiting eight schools in all), where a gymnasium full of inquisitive children lined up to ask questions ranging from: ‘Is Antigua as hot as Mexico?’ (yes); ‘How many people live there?’ (80,000); and ‘What do you eat?’ (starch, starch, chicken, and
starch). Fourth-year UFV Kinesiology student Jessica Barwig flies out April 26 for her first Antiguan experience. “It’s something out of my comfort zone but from what I’ve heard from past champions, they’ve taken this experience and ran with it,” she said. “Getting kids active and having fun while they’re learning is a huge passion for me.” That sentiment was echoed by Parker, a vice principal and
assisted learning educator with 21 years of experience. “This visit has exceeded my expectations,” she said. “At first I thought it focused on physical education only but being here has been an eye-opener to what I’m able to learn and bring back to my classroom.” So while the Champions’ footprints might wash away from Antigua’s 365 beaches, impressions made by those UFV students are sure to last a lifetime.

y playing to strengths, UFV’s FAST Club is helping elementary students with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder get the most of their school experience – locally for now, and potentially throughout the rest of British Columbia in the future. FAST Club is part of an ongoing, multi-university strength-based interventions research project run out of UFV’s department of Kinesiology and Physical Education. Earlier incarnations had FAST Club operating as a 12-week after-school program, but the latest club, which ran until April 17, is an abridged version created after the Ministry of Education asked if the initiative could be integrated into regular programming throughout the province. “This is basically a pilot study to see if FAST Club can be implemented into the school system,” says UFV kinesiology instructor Alison Pritchard Orr. “We wanted to see what it looked like in a school environment within school hours.” Whereas deficit-based programs attempt to improve weaknesses, FAST Club builds on students’

existing abilities, unlocking a domino effect of positive change in children’s lives. “Motor skills are the number one avenue of acceptance among their peers,” explains Kristie Glasgow, director of occupational therapy with the Fraser Valley Child Development Centre, one of UFV’s
FAST Club partners. Essentially, keeping up on the soccer pitch creates even playing fields in classrooms, hallways and beyond. For three weeks, students at Chilliwack’s Central Elementary energetically participated in the program, with each using three of the possible six stations selected
specifically for them based on their top strengths scores from pretesting. At this point, FAST Club operates without any external funding, so the program ran entirely with the enthusiastic support of 20 volunteer and research assistant students from UFV’s KPE department. Glasgow suggested the direct experience with UFV’s students has a lasting impact on children with FASD. “The more positive relationships they have in their life, the better the outcome in general,” she says. The next step is tracking changes in the classroom after FAST sessions, and hopefully securing funding for the program and its sister initiative, the BrainGamers Club, where children engage in a video game and neurofeedback (biofeedback) program under the supervision of UFV Kinesiology faculty.

began Monday in B.C. Supreme Court in Chilliwack on charges of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal and failing to provide necessaries for an animal. Two co-accused, Damara and Patrick English, each entered a surprise guilty plea on a charge of causing an animal to continue to be in distress, an offence under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. They will be sentenced at a later date. McKnight said, for the most part, she found the sites to be clean, with sufficient food and water for the animals. She said there were some minor issues with grooming and unclipped nails, but orders issued to Gerling were usually resolved. The Stevens Street property closed down in late 2007, when Gerling moved the operation to McSween Road. McKnight said she had ongoing concerns about the number of dogs on site and the potential for the spread of disease. On one occasion in 2007, she said there about 80 adult dogs and puppies on the property, and Gerling indicated he had plans to accommodate up to 500 dogs within five years to supply a pet store chain. In late 2008, McKnight said the SPCA received a call that 27 dogs had died on the site, but she saw no signs of this when she visited later that day. She said she continued to make regular checks of the property. “I was concerned that we were getting complaints … I had not seen anything on the property that would be alarming to me, but we were getting complaints both from the public and from people on the property,” she said. McKnight’s testimony up until the afternoon session on Monday covered the period ending February 2009. Gerling and the Englishes (his former employees) were charged in May 2011, several months after the SPCA seized 14 dogs – shih tzus, chihuahuas, pugs and terrier crosses – from a property on Sumas Way in Abbotsford. It was alleged that the dogs were not receiving proper protection from Continued: Trial/ p9

Gerling’s lawyer, Derwin Petri, said his client did not live at the property at the time and had paid another man $700 a month to care for the dogs. Petri hopes to argue later in the trial that SPCA authorities conducted an illegal search of the property – thus breaching Gerling’s charter rights – and all the evidence should be thrown out. The trial has been scheduled for three weeks.

R AESIDE
The 2013 provincial election will be one of the most important in a generation. At a time when the economy appears to be in slow motion, yet demands on the public purse are increasing, voters need to pay attention to who’s running. Of course, we say this for every election — to no avail. Last time around, in the 2009 provincial election, only about 50% of voters bothered to cast a vote. Who is to blame and will things be any different this year? It’s hard to say. Is it negative advertising that turns people off? BC NDP leader Adrian Dix says so and has promised a more positive campaign. But will that end indifference or will people turn away from boredom. Is it helplessness and apathy that keep people away from the polls? Many people simply don’t connect with government. BC Liberal leader Christy Clark has tried to be a populist (pandering?) premier, appealing to the hockey mom vote, but has failed to attract women’s support, pundits say. Why? Perhaps B.C. voters simply distrust anything politicians say. Clearly there is a disconnect and the media may have contributed to this malaise by blowing every little incident out of proportion. As in the story of the boy who cried wolf, many voters simply tune out after a while, yet, sadly, when there is a real issue, such as lack of funding for transit, many eligible voters simply don’t see the connection between their vote and government policy. Instead, they leave the field to special interest groups — business, unions, lobbyists — to hijack the results. The truth is that politicians will only be accountable if we hold them accountable. We have a right to toss any of them out if they don’t do what they promised so voters need to pay attention to what politicians say and they need to find out who they are. Over the next few weeks, The Chilliwack Progress will be covering this region’s two ridings with information from our local candidates. The rest is up to you. ~ Black Press
B.C. V IEWS
Don’t count the B.C. Conservatives out
VICTORIA – As the B.C. NDP launched its election campaign last week with a package of income tax hikes, higher than those in the B.C. Liberals’ election budget of February, a third party leader toured the province with plans to get rid of the carbon tax. It’s not readily apparent from his recently released “fiscal framework” document, but B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins told me his plan to phase out B.C.’s carbon tax does not include raising income tax rates that were lowered to make the carbon tax “revenue neutral.” He predicts revenue growth. I reached Cummins in Prince George, where he was continuing his aggressive courtship of northern B.C. with an announcement that federal gas tax revenues would be redirected to a new fund for locally determined road improvements. Earlier he vowed

to study the deplorable state of northern ambulance service. Cummins has more good news for the north: that’s where a regionally phased elimination of the carbon tax would begin. It’s also the area of thinnest population, meaning the impact on the B.C. treasury would be less. This is, after Tom all, a tax budgeted FLETCHER to bring in $1.2 billion in the current year. The B.C. Conservatives continually remind people that the carbon tax falls disproportionately on rural, remote and particularly northern folks who face long distances, long winters, and public transit options ranging from slim to none. This has ceased to be much of an issue for the urban
B.C. majority, who are focused on bridge tolls, ferry fares and the like. The B.C. Conservatives decry the population decline of rural B.C., with international immigration almost exclusively going to big cities, while temporary foreign workers increasingly fill agricultural and industrial jobs in the Interior. The party’s still-evolving platform echoes the NDP’s call for more skills training and increased completion rates for trade apprentices. Cummins is in favour of the proposed Northern Gateway oil pipeline and the massive buildup of infrastructure needed to add liquefied natural gas to B.C.’s energy export mix. He sees that enormous industrial expansion as the path to shift population growth beyond the south of the province. Cummins is surprisingly cool to one industrial project, the pro-
posed Site C dam on the Peace River, calling himself undecided. He also sounds skeptical about the B.C. Liberal plan to extend B.C.’s electricity grid and use that to develop further independent power. This sounds to me like political positioning rather than economic analysis. An anti-Site C independent candidate has significant support in Peace River North, creating a three-way struggle for a key B.C. Conservative target. The B.C. Conservative platform also totals up the billions in longterm electricity contracts with private power producers and suggests the price for this clean energy has been set too high. This is another echo of the NDP’s vague position. So if the B.C. Conservatives are gung-ho on oil and gas and think the carbon tax is a mistake, do they think there should be any effort to mitigate greenhouse gas

emissions? Cummins sidestepped that question, preferring to talk about conventional air pollution, whether it’s in the Fraser Valley or as a byproduct of a northern industrial boom. As a long-time former Reform and Conservative MP, Cummins is acutely aware that the urban media will leap with extra vigour on any perceived gaffe of the right wing. Should a Conservative let slip that he’s skeptical about global warming, or worse, express a rustic view on social issues, all Hell would break loose. The B.C. Conservatives have started with the most detailed, costed platform of any party. Don’t count them out.

Parking problems in Harrison councils have actually reduced the number of parking spaces and have plugged the streets with hotel guest parking. The zoning bylaw requires hotels to provide off-street parking and this was always applied as being free, with no charge. Now, they
have allowed hotels to charge extra for parking so hotel guests are plugging our on-street parking spaces while hotel parking lots sit almost empty. Hopefully, the mismanagement of Harrison will end sometime soon. John Allen
Life-saving efforts appreciated My name is Cindy Lambert. I am writing this email in hopes that you may be able to print something in regards to the amazing staff The Leisure Landing Centre and the emergency workers for our ambulance services and the staff at Chilliwack General Hospital. On Thursday April 11 I left my doctor’s with a prescription for an antibiotic I have had several times before. I stopped at the pharmacy to fill it and took one before I left. I went to the clinic attached to the doc-
tor’s office to sign for my C-Pac machine. On my short walk there I began to sneeze and itch and burn. I have never experienced this before so I was very nervous when I walked in the clinic. I asked almost begged to use their washroom as I have asthma and COPD. I explained I was not feeling well. I was told by the young lady, sorry we don’t have a public washroom. I then asked if she could see for me if my doctor’s office was open...the burning and itching began to get more severe! She again
said no and told me to sign the paper and I was welcome to use the bathroom over at the Leisure Centre. I practically ran to the Leisure Centre. I ran into the bathroom – at that point I felt my throat begin to close over and my vision blurring. I ran to the desk and put the antibiotic on the counter and asked for help before I collapsed to the floor. The wonderful young lady behind the desk had six staff on me within seconds and the ambulance within two minutes I was told! I can-
Take fight to Victoria I agree: Chlorination in Chilliwack is dead. Because in Chilliwack, it was never an alive issue. City Hall talked about “fighting” but never had the legal grounds to do so. Fraser Health showed up to “hear our concerns” but we all know what a dog-and-pony show that was (can you say pre-determined outcome...). If you have the feeling of being cheated, you have company. But here’s the silver lining: the fight is just begun. It could never have been fought in Chilliwack in the first place; the only real recourse was and is in Victoria. Our legislation ensuring fair governance and a voice in issues that affect us most is not flawed, it is an outright failure. I urge everyone as city residents and constituents of the Chilliwack electoral district
to fight back against FHA, to say “no” I don’t agree that its none of my business and I have no say – with your vote. With the May 14 election looming, the timing couldn’t be better. And the only candidate that recognizes the larger issues to come out of the chlorination debacle (like governance) and has stated an intention to correct that in our legislature, is Kim Reimer. The same Kim Reimer that created the petition that gave the community a sense of unity around this issue. That was practical help from Kim; not posturing and running out in front of a crowd as our MLAs and MPs tend to mostly do around here. Wayne Froese, Chilliwack
not begin to even know where to start to thank these wonderful people. I was rushed to emergency where the staff took over and saved my life! I was in anaphylactic shock. I had three shots of EPI and two shots of adrenaline. I was so beet red it was unbelievable! When I left the Leisure Centre my blood pressure was 65 over 29. If it was not for the quick and efficient and professional manner of everyone involved I may not be here today.

The water situation in Chilliwack is terrible. When people take a bath it now smells like we are in a swimming pool. Before the chlorination I drank tap water. Now the taste is overwhelming! I bought a Brita and it does nothing to omit the taste of chlorine! My family and I are back to drinking bottled water. What is wrong with this picture? Our attempt of going totally green is not going to happen with the chlorine in our water!

“But it’s clear it was not an accidental fire, and we’re asking the public to come forward if they have any information or saw something,” Josephson said. Firefighters from Chilliwack firehalls 1, 2 and 4 responded at just after 8 a.m. and found heavy black smoke billowing from a vacant, single-storey house. Firefighters put out the fire but not before the house was extensively damaged by flames and smoke. There were no firefighter injuries.

UN gangster pleads guilty to conspiring to murder the Bacons UN from page 3 in the gang wars in May 2008, when he was driving a Porsche Cayenne owned by the
Bacons to have a stereo system equipped. He was killed when the vehicle was sprayed with gunfire as he was driving in Burnaby. His
girlfriend, who was traveling behind him, was wounded when shots were also fired at her vehicle. Russell was among
nine people charged in January 2011 with conspiring to murder the Bacon brothers. Two of these men – Conor D’Monte,

Tourism Chilliwack earns praise TOURISM from page 3 Fifty-four large-scale events were presented at Heritage Park in 2012, and 34 smaller events, with 165,000 people either attending or participating. Tourism Chilliwack also working on a multi-year strategic planning process, and were able to contribute $125,642.54 into a building reserve fund specifically for Heritage Park capital improvements. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said in the wake of that contribution, “The city feels reassured that this was the best choice,” in terms of facility operations management. “Tourism Chilliwack continues to demonstrate its success in marketing our community and the Heritage Park facility. The excellent leadership of the board and the staff team serves our community well,” she said. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Russell also faces charges in the U.S. of conspiring to distribute and export cocaine, and conspiring to engage in money laundering. He was charged in 2007 with several others, including former UN Gang leader Clay Roueche, who received a 30-year sentence, and Doug Vanalstine, recently sentenced to 10 years for a 2009 drug conspiracy in Abbotsford. Russell’s criminal history includes charges and/or convictions in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge, Mission and Vancouver.

The provincial government is under fire for systematically using ICBC as a “cash cow” and causing motorists to be overcharged for auto insurance. The Consumers’ Association of Canada noted the province has withdrawn $677 million in profits from ICBC since 2010 and will have siphoned away $1.2 billion by 2015. “Higher vehicle insurance rates affect consumers and businesses alike as well as eliminate a key strategic provincial advantage that British Columbia has in its public automobile insurance system,” association president Bruce Cran said. The group’s report on ICBC says the government required the public insurer to earn significant profits on optional coverage, easing the entry of private insurers while creating a pool of cash that could be transferred to general revenue. It calls on Victoria to stop spurring ICBC to be more profitable and direct it to focus on serving customers. ~ Black Press

Party leaders pitch jobs and training Leaders from Front “The thing about liquefied natural gas, is it’s the cleanest fossil fuel on the planet,” Clark said. “When we start exporting that to Asia, we are going to displace dirty fuels that they are using in those countries,” she said. Building LNG plants will be local companies, which will bring jobs, she said. Clark is calling on Dix to debate her one-on-one. Dix has so far refused, stating that it isn’t fair to hold a debate between only two parties. The Liberals are trying to recapture the Chilliwack-Hope riding, and keep their hold on the Chilliwack riding. But the most recent Angus Reid poll shows that, at least provincially, the NDP holds 45 per cent of the vote, while the Liberals only 28 per cent. Greens are at 13 and Conservatives at 12. “I hope that every British Columbian takes a moment to compare our platforms, our visions, our ideas, our plans, and most of all our teams...and then make a decision about which party can best lead British Columbia into the future,” concluded Clark.

to share. First of all, ‘bargain seeds’ are not a bargain! Buy the best hybrid and old reliable varieties that work well in your garden, but also keep experimenting with new varieties to see if you can improve the flavour, versatility and production time. I freeze all my vegetable seeds for 48 hours before sowing to help stratify them. This should speed up and improve germination. Most people plant their seeds far too deep. Folks, the deeper you go, the colder and damper it is down there. Keep your seeds up high where it’s warmer and drier. That’s why raised beds are always so effective. The last concern I have is the amount of space we use for our gardens. Maybe it’s just me, but I often wonder why most European and Asian gardeners have small gardens and most of us have huge ones. The fact is that we are needlessly wasting space, fertilizer, compost, water and oodles of time in our gardens. Keep your pathways to a minimum and increase the size of your rows. Wide-row gardening is the norm around the world, except in North America. Wide-row gardening is space saving and allows a longer harvest period. The outside vegetables always mature first, while the ones on the inside, because they are more shaded, mature later. I hope a few of these comments will make this wonderful experience of planting your vegetable garden easier and more enjoyable.

Donation helps create healing environment at CGH Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
On a clear day, you can see forever. While Stanley Ross was a patient at Chilliwack General Hospital, he loved spending time with his wife on the fourth floor patio gazing at the mountains. Over the years the onceclear plastic panels surrounding the patio became discoloured, distorting the view of the mountains that Ross so loved. But that’s all changed now. Ross’ widow, Lily Ross, recently honoured Stanley’s wishes to fix the situation by making a special donation to the Fraser Valley Health Care
Lily Ross made a special donation to replace the discoloured panels with new transparent polycarbonate panels.
Foundation to replace the discoloured panels on the patio with new transparent polycarbonate panels. “As the official charity for the
Chilliwack General Hospital, the Fraser Valley Health Care Foundation doesn’t just raise funds for medical equipment,” said executive director Vicki
Raw. “We also support patient comforts, programs, renovations and items like these panels, that help to create a healing environment.” The Rosses used to be in and out of CGH quite a bit and were most supportive of the hospital foundation, she said. “They would spend time going outside on the patio whenever they could,” she said. “They were disappointed that they couldn’t enjoy the view, so this should make a difference for everyone.” Foundation officials chose a local company, Klein Glass and Door, to do the work. The foundation is at 604-7014051 or visit www.FVHCF.org. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Chris Sas and the Sasafras lay down the funk Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
Life is pretty good right now for Chris Sas. The musician is back in his hometown of Chilliwack temporarily, with gigs in Harrison Hot Springs and Vancouver this weekend. The guitarist, and singer-songwriter has been performing and recording like mad. He’s about to get married in L.A., on the heels of his recent graduation from a guitar performance diploma program in Hollywood, California. “Things are very busy but life is good,” he tells The Progress over the phone.
As a kid he was immersed in the world of music. “I was blessed to grow up around music. My father, Rudy Sas, is a guitar player and singer. He was around for many band rehearsals and dances. “At around the age of 14, I started getting interested in playing and he showed me some chords and licks,” Sas remembers. He has solid roots in the ‘Wack. “I grew up in Chilliwack and graduated from Chilliwack Senior Secondary, where I especially enjoyed the guitar class taught by Gary Raddysh,” he says. He’s been away from home while studying the past two years in Hollywood at The Musicians
Institute of Technology, where he graduated with honours from the guitar performance diploma program. “I was very blessed to study under some amazing guitar teachers.” While he was there, he also laid down the groove for an L.A.-based R&B band Ashley Nicole and N’tyme. Jamming with Darryl Jones, bass player for the Rolling Stones and formerly Miles Davis, as well as with Sheldon Reynolds, former guitarist for Earth Wind and Fire, were some of the highlights he experienced at the Musicians’ Institute. He’s been recording tracks for

a new album with another group he plays with, Shirika Fellowship. Aside from that he’s focused on sharing his original music, playing guitar with his friends, and local musicians Jamie Reid on saxophone and Colin Watchorn on bass. He describes his style as funk rock, but says he enjoys almost all forms of music. “Our group also consists of Vancouver musicians Jack Taffaro on keyboards and Adam Parent on drums.” To get his original tunes out there, he’s had to “hound” people, he says. He likes playing positive, funky music that gets people up and out of their chairs.

“I play a lot of open-mic jam nights,” Sas says. “People dance and enjoy themselves.” His album, Feels Just Right, was recorded in Chilliwack, before he headed down south to school, and can be sampled on his website at http://chrissas.com/. “I would love people to come down and check out my music.” Chris Sas and the Sasafras Band are live art Falconetti’s East Side Grill on Commercial Drive in Vancouver on April 18 at 8 p.m. and then at the Layback Lounge on Esplanade in HHS on Friday, April 19 at 10 p.m. https://www. facebook.com/LaybackLounge.

As I write this article, I am enjoying a cup of coffee on the patio of my home for the last 10 days: a vacation condo in Kauai, overlooking the ocean. Like most people, I love going away on vacations. Whether it’s relaxing at a beach, visiting relatives, backpacking across a foreign country, or camping in the interior, vacations are a welcomed break from regular routine. You may be wondering, however, whether a break will derail your diet plan or undo all your hard work at the gym. With a bit of planning, you don’t

have to choose between staying slim and enjoying your holidays; you can h a v e it all. Follow these five simple rules to enjoy Tanja y o u r SHAW vacation and stay in great shape. 1. Remember your ‘why’. Before I get into the details about keeping fit on vacation, remind
get in on a very good thing.
yourself WHY you want to keep in shape. Do your exercises each day because you want to take good care of yourself, and you want to be energized for the rest of the day. Eat well because you want to fuel your body with life giving, nourishing foods. Take care of yourself because you are worth it. 2. Devote 30 minutes a day to exercise at least 5 days a week. Thirty minutes is just over three per cent of the 16 waking hours of your day. It’s a small part of your day, but the return on your investment is big. Go for a brisk walk or run to explore the local streets (if safe), or do an equipment-free workout at the beach or in your
hotel room. At the end of this article I have included an equipment free workout that I did one morning in Kauai. Commit to a workout plan before you leave so you can avoid making the ‘should I workout, or should I skip it?’ when on vacation. Remember that you workout because you love your body, you want to take good care of your body and you’ll feel great for the rest of the day. 3. Eat like the locals. Food is a part of experiencing the culture of your vacation destination; don’t waste your calories by mindlessly snacking on a bag of Cheezies.

campaign director Tyee Bridge in a release. “It’s a case of the few spoiling it for the many. Dumping ruins the ecosystem for everyone else, including salmon, eagles, and other wildlife as well as people.” Since starting the event in 2008, the group and volunteers have cleaned up 26 tonnes of garbage. The event will be from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., meeting at Gill Bar, at the end of Gill Road, which is a popular recreational site and salmon-spawning area. Volunteers will be rewarded with a free salmon-steak barbecue. The Vedder Mountain Trails Association is inviting residents to its thirteenth annual cleanup of the eastern side of Vedder Mountain on Sunday, April 21, at 9:30 p.m. “It’s important because there is nobody else doing this work,” explained VMTA president Dr. Mark Steinebach. Every year, volunteers collect the same amount of garbage, about 7–10 tonnes. Despite not seeing a reduction, Steinebach is confidant that the cleanup is well worth it. “We still feel encouraged to do this work...because each year, we’re seeing more and more people become involved, and we’re seeing a fairly large contingent of kids, of teenagers and youth, involved,” he said. Steinebach hopes that by raising awareness about dumping, the prob-

The Heron Reserve will also host drop-in activities from 12-4 p.m. that day, and a guided walk to see the heron colony at 2 p.m. On the same day, the Fraser Riverkeeper is inviting residents to help remove garbage from the banks of the Fraser River, just in time to keep the high water of the spring freshet from carrying it out. “Some people have been treating the river’s shores like a dumping ground, from beer cans and burn piles to appliances and bags of household trash,” said Fraser Riverkeeper

Important investment in the early years At a recent provincial conference I was reminded that not all communities in B.C. have the kind of cooperation we do here between the organizations ser ving children and families. Yet here we are, celebrating 20 years of the Chilliwack Child and Youth Committee Annual Consultation. In this space my colleagues, Er yn Wicker and Marie Amos have written about two relatively well know Chilliwackians who have contributed to this collaboration, Dan Bibby and Mayor Sharon Gaetz.

Making the adage, “ It takes a community to raise a child” into reality over the long haul of years takes intention turned to action. In this column I’d like to celebrate that commitment seen in the example of Barb Presseau. Barb leads the Chilliwack Community Ser vices unit called Child Care Resource and Referral Program (CCRR). Essentially the CCRR is a broker that links parents with appropriate child care. Barb began this task in 1990, working alone, while today the CCRR has grown to a group of five staff who work with approximately 100 child care providers with spaces for 800 children. That’s the size of some high schools or a huge

hospital. In a recent interview, Barb told me that in 1979 when the International Year of the Child was proclaimed, her own kids were in school and she decided to volunteer Rob some LEES time to the community. One thing led to another and it wasn’t long before she was working at Chilliwack Community Services where she is now its longest serving employee. For over 15 years Barb volunteered as a parenting class facilitator. She reports it was fun and fulfilling and allowed her to share tips and strategies that helped hundreds of parents be the parents they wanted to be. As all parents know, kids
don’t come with manuals so we’ve needed people like Barb to disseminate collected wisdom so parents aren’t re-inventing the wheel with each child. Aside from priding ourselves in having one of, if not the most well-coordinated long serving Child and Youth Committees in the province, this main committee has also had equally robust sub-committees. Among them is the “Early Years” committee of which Barb has been a key contributor. Members of this committee have briefed themselves in the research evidence that demonstrates that investment early in the lives of children has enormous social and economic benefits throughout their lives. Barb’s response should be no surprise when asked what she saw as one of the biggest challenges facing us. It’s the difficulty many parents have in
finding and paying for quality child care. She looks forward to the day when the science we know about early childhood education will be entrenched in practices that use the time from birth to kindergarten as the most important window for education and social emotional development. That will be a time when where you went for child care will be as important as where you went to university. There is a saying that goes, “Our children are living messages to a time that we will not see.” Thanks to Barb Presseau and the others who volunteer and serve as she does, those messages from our generation to the future are more apt to be wholesome and full of good will.

Tips to keep slim while on vacation fresh markets, trying the local produce and tasting the area’s ‘specialties’ when dining out. Vacationing doesn’t mean you should eat more than usual- feeling full and bloated is not a fun way to spend your holiday. Instead, listen to your hunger cues and be mindful of what you eat. 4. Mind your beverages. If alcohol is a part of your vacation enjoyment, choose wisely. Fruity tropical drinks such as Mai Tais and Margaritas can add 300600 calories to your daily intake; and that’s if you limit yourself to one drink! Beer, wine or liquor with a low calorie mixer (such as vodka and soda water) are your slimmest options at 70-150 calories a drink. 5. Play like a child. Children are naturals at playing and exploring- they rarely stop moving. Learn from the young folk to keep active during the day.
The opportunities to ‘play’ on vacation are endless. You may play a round of golf, go snorkeling, or book a mountain bike tour. Simply swimming in the pool, walking to explore your new surroundings, or playing a game of Frisbee on the grass are fun ways to stay active. By sticking to your workouts, and being mindful of what you eat, you can stay fit and slim while truly enjoying your vacation. Tanja’s Hawaiian Workout
10 minute warm up run (or power walk) I set my interval timer for 40 seconds on, 10 seconds rest. I did each mini circuit 3 times. Circuit 1: 1. Burpees (I attempted a burpee with a tuck jump but only lasted half a round- it was hot!) 2. In & Out + Push-up: In push up position, jump feet in toward hands, then jump feet back out to push up position. Perform one push-up and repeat.
3. Mountain climbers: In push up position, bring one knee toward chest. Jump and switch feet. Think ‘floor sprints’. Circuit 2: 1. Lunge Jumps: Get into lunge position. Jump to switch legs and repeat. 2. In & Outs: As above but with no push ups. 3. Bicycle crunches: the old fashioned ab- burner. Circuit 3: 1. 3 squat jumps forward, sprint back to start (and repeat) 2. Side lunges with a shuffle: Alternating right and left side. 3. Travelling plank: Push-up position. Walk hands and feet to the right 3-4 steps, then travel to the left 3-4 steps. Repeat. Tanja Shaw is the owner of Ascend Fitness Coaching, a private training studio.

New track returns sport to its roots Eric J. Welsh, The Progress
It’s not much to look at, right now. Wet weather has left it looking like a field of mud, with two or three dirt piles dotting the landscape. But John Hellam sees far more than that as he surveys the scene behind Heritage Park. He sees a project 10 years in the making, one that is taking local motocross racing back where he thinks it ought to be. Outside. “It’s where the sport started, and over the last 20 years we’ve just moved indoors in this part of the world because of the climate,” he explains. This new track that’s just been built won’t be a muddy mess for long. In fact, Hellam hopes it’s rideable in time for a scheduled Sunday event. On Tuesday morning, Hellam, his son Jamie and the rest of the crew are figuring out where the soggy spots are and plotting to fix them. “With what we call a green, or brand-new track, we’ve got to figure out where it drains, or doesn’t drain,” Hellam says. “It’s built on top of sand and clay, so if we put a little indentation here and there to help the water run off, it’ll be fine. Once we get some sunshine, it will bake and harden up.” The track occupies roughly 10 acres adjacent to the horseracing track. The layout is basic. Riders prefer left-hand turns so they can use their rear-breaks. The track has one of those. It has the usual assortment of whoop-de-dos, devil jumps and table top jumps. “The neat part is people will be able to part their motorhomes and vehicles right along the track, pull out the deck chairs to watch the racing, and visit a whole bunch of amenities with 10 minutes of the track,” Hellam adds. Hellam’s larger vision is to see outdoor motocross thrive in this province. He describes the current scene as fragmented, with too many sanctioning bodies and licenses required. Families and young riders are being chased away. This year, Future West Promotions — owned by John and operated by Jamie — has launched the 2013 BC Motocross Championship. “What we’ve done is gone to the sponsors who’ve been with us for a long time in arenacross, and they’ve kicked in financial support for us to run a no-licensefee series,” Hellam explains.
Logan Prachnau, 14, tests out the new motocross track under construction at Heritage Park on Tuesday. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
The series started March 17 at the Eagle Motorplex in Ashcroft, carrying on to Victoria (Mar. 24) and then Mission (April 7). “We had 183 riders in Victoria and 150 in Ashcroft, and even in pouring rain in Mission two weeks ago we managed 130,” Hellam says. “The emphasis on making it easy for new people to enter without a big financial burden seems to be working.” Sunday would be the fourth stop. If the track is ready, it will be held in Chilliwack. If not, the Lower Mainland Motocross Club will host again at the Mission Raceway. Before the end of the season, in late June, the series will make stops in Pemberton, Kelowna and Kamloops. Chilliwack hosts the final series stop, June 23. “We’re going to have a TV production for that one, and it looks like we may be going on TSN,” Hellam smiles. “We know there’s enough people with bikes who want to race, and the point of this is to bring them all under one umbrella.” Hellam keeps mentioning the financial burden of racing, with good reason. “Families often have more than one rider, a dad with two boys or girls for instance,” Hellam says. “In the old CMRC series, you had to pay $140 for a
license before you even turned a wheel, plus $30 per class, with some riders racing in more than one class. You can see where it would add up to a lot of money.” By taking that $140 license fee out of the picture, Hellam has already seen some old faces re-surface, people who’d been driven out of the sport by rising costs. And he’s seeing new faces. “The track and the series is something we would have liked to have done years ago, but for a lack of time,” he said. “It’s taken a heckuva lot of work to get to this point, and it’s good to see us having success attracting riders.” The track will stay in place until the end of summer, at which point it will be re-assessed to see if it worked the way it was supposed to. Future West is paying rent for the space. In turn, they’re being creative with how they use it. “If a group wants to rent it for a party or something, and we’ll have drop-in practice sessions,” Hellam says. “We’ve been talking to Yamaha, who’s very enthusiastic to supply bikes for brand new riders to learn how to ride. There will be lots going on, and it’s very exciting.” Get motocross info online at bcmotocross.ca and get arenacross info online at arenacross. ca
Clay competing on national stage Chilliwack’s Zachary Clay is one of 99 B.C. artistic and trampoline gymnasts who have qualified for the 2013 Canadian Gymnastics Championships. Clay and rest of Team BC will compete at the championships in Ottawa from May 21-25. The athletes were named to the team following a series of trials held this winter and spring. Clay trains and competes at Twisters Gymnastics in Abbotsford. That club is sending nine athletes to Ottawa, including veteran Ken Ikeda, an Olympian in 2004 who is competing at this event for the 19th time.
Ikeda and Clay are both national team members and both will compete in men’s artistic gymnastics. On the men’s side, the list of competing national teamers includes Scott Morgan (North Vancouver), Scott Nabata (Kamloops), Joshua Stuart (Richmond), Robert Watson (Richmond) and Trevor Stirling (Okanagan). The women’s side includes 2012 Olympic team alternate Samantha Smith (Okanagan), Tamara O’Brien (Port Coquitlam) Briannah Tsang (North Vancouver) and Shallon Olsen (Coquitlam). Over 1,000 athletes, coaches and officials will be in Ottawa.
McDonald tipping off with B.C.’s best GW Graham basketball star Kaitlyn McDonald is finishing her high school hoops career on a high note. The soon-to-be University of the Fraser Valley Cascade will play in the BC Girls High School Basketball All-Star game. The game will be played Sunday at the Langley Events Centre and include 20 of the top graduating seniors in the province. The girls game starts at 2 p.m.
The boys game follows at 4 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students. McDonald is the first Grizzly player ever invited to the year-end game. She is also the only invitee who didn’t appear in a single-A, doubleA or AAA provincial tournament. McDonald drew rave reviews this season for her all-round game, and in particular her deadly three-point shooting.

to be honest, it looks better than I thought it would! Though, having a bald head is cold. I had to keep a toque on for the first couple days, and my first night trying to sleep was freezing.” On Saturday, the Agassiz secondar y school alumni basketball game was played. Putt had been looking forward to it for months. Geared up with a bright-pink sweatband, she warmed up with the rest of her 30-plus squad, then took to the court for the opening tipoff. “We won the tip off and had the ball down at our end, and then, 17 seconds into the game I went down on my ankle,” Putt said. “It was just a sprain, but it meant I missed the game. It has also meant missing a good few days of going to the gym, or going hiking.” That could prove costly to Putt in the end. The Kin’s Green Fighters Challenge gathers 13 Lower Mainland contestants,
OUR 30TH SEASON 2012/2013
Sporting a lot less hair than at this time last week, Chilliwack’s Carolyn Putt continues to roll through the Kins’ Green Fighters Challenge. Last Friday, Putt carried through on a pledge to have her head shaved, in support of her niece Lilee-Jean, who is battling cancer. “I got up in the morning, put my hair up in a ponytail for the last time and went to the gym,” Putt said. “Friday afternoon, Lilee-Jean and her daddy joined us at the day program I work at, and we did the big head shave.” It was a longer process than Putt expected, and a bit jarring watching her hair fall to the floor. “Hacking through my ponytail with a pair of scissors was quite the process,” she laughed. “But it was great knowing it can be donated to make a wig for someone like LJ.” Lilee-Jean helped out, and her reactions alone made the whole thing worthwhile. “She kept saying, ‘You did it!’ and telling me I looked pretty or beautiful, and saying that now we look the same,” Putt said. “And

HOEPPNER Florence (nee Otto)
Florence passed away suddenly on Tuesday, April 9, 2013 at the age of 82, after four years with a gradually crippling condition and a brief period of palliative care. She is now at peace, rejoicing in the presence of her Lord. Florence was predeceased by her husband of 38 years, Jacob; her son, Jim; and her sister, Elsie Uren. She is survived by two daughters: Marilyn Hoeppner and Lois Comeault (Art); five grandchildren: Pamela, Braden (Melanie), Aaron, Joel (Tiffany), and Danielle; and three great-grandchildren: Emma, Lily, and Kazja. Florence’s life was poured out in loving, faithful service: first of all to Jesus, her Lord and Saviour; next, to her family; and to friends, neighbours and strangers. She had a servant heart, her life exemplifying the childhood song, “Jesus and Others and You, what a wonderful way to spell JOY‌â€?. The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to those who helped in caring for their mother during her last years: to the community health workers and home health nurses from Fraser Cheam Home Support, to the staff of the NetCARE Day Program at Parkholm Place, to Dr. Boshoff, and to the Chilliwack
Hospital staff and palliative care team. A Memorial Service to celebrate Florence’s life will be held on Wednesday, April 17, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. at Central Community Church (Cascade Room), 46100 Chilliwack Central Road.

SAWYER Ruth Shirley (nee Reed)
Our beloved wife and mother, Ruth Shirley Sawyer (nee Reed) passed away peacefully on April 13, SAWYER 2013, of lung cancer. She was 79 years old. Shirley is survived by her dearest husband Cleon, her devoted children; Norman (Eileen), Donna (Greg), Cleon Jr (Dawn), and Preston (Donna), her adoring grand children; Joanna, Christopher, Danica, Andrew, Sarah and Paige Elizabeth, and greatgrandchildren: Jack, Brandon and Leila. Shirley was born in North Bay, Ontario and was the 11th of 15 children. After a whirlwind courtship of three weeks, when Cleon was on leave from Korea, Shirley married her soul mate, Cleon in 1954. The family moved to British Columbia in 1963. Cleon and Shirley moved to Chilliwack in 1992 where they happily spent their retirement years. Shirley had the biggest heart, and was full of love, life and joy. Her smile could light up the room, and her laugh could bring a smile to all. Shirley and Cleon could not stand to see any child go unloved, so after raising their own children, they continued growing their family by bringing James and Jaime into the fold. Shirley will be remembered for many things; her fabulous pies, her pickles, her dress making and sewing, her beautiful voice, her piano and organ playing, and her sense of humor and beautiful laugh. She loved to cook and to read, and she loved animals, her church and God. She is with all of our departed family and friends and will be now be watching over us from above. She will be greatly missed. Memorial Services for Shirley will be held on Friday the 19, 2013, at 2:00 pm at the Sardis Fellowship church, 45187 Wells Road, Chilliwack.

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Llewellyn (Bill) Thomas Sidney Doull. He DOULL passed away peacefully at 93 years of age on April 10, 2013 at home with his wife of 67 years, Claire, and family present. Bill was born on November 25, 1919 in Moncton, New Brunswick to Lewellyn Ed-
ward and Mary Ethel Doull. His family moved to Drummondville, Quebec at an early age where he grew up with his four sisters and two brothers. As a child he inherited the name Bill which stuck with him for the rest of his life. Bill started working at Canadian Celanese Ltd. when he was 16. At the outbreak of WWII, he and his older brother Lloyd enlisted with the Royal Rifles of Canada. As what became known as “C� Force, the Royal Rifles and the Winnipeg Grenadiers were sent to reinforce the British enclave in Hong Kong on October 25, 1941. Vastly outnumbered, the Allied Forces fought valiantly for 17 and a half days during the Battle of Hong Kong and Bill was taken prisoner by the Japanese on Christmas Day, 1941. He spent the next 44 months as a Prisoner of War in Hong Kong and Japan where slave labour, starvation, disease and mistreatment were the norm. The members of “C� Force were the first Canadians in battle in WWII and the survivors of the battle and the POW camps were the last ones to come home. After the war, Bill returned to Drummondville where he convalesced and continued to work at the Celanese. Then he met the love of his life, Claire Bullard. They were married on April 6, 1946 and celebrated their 67th wedding anniversary four days before Bill’s passing. Bill and Claire started their own family and raised three children, Sandra, Norman and Murray. Bill was a proficient handyman, a hard worker and could fix almost anything in need of repair. Bill retired in 1976 after 41 years of service at the Celanese. He and Claire then moved to their cottage on the shores of Lovering Lake in Quebec. Bill loved to boat and fish on the lake in the summer. During the winter months he built a hut on the lake where he spent many hours ice fishing. He loved all the animals and fed the birds and chipmunks. He took great pleasure feeding the squirrels from his hands. In 1997 Bill and Claire sold their cottage and moved to Sardis, BC where he lived until his passing. During their retirement, Bill and Claire travelled extensively throughout Canada and the US in their camperized Volkswagen van. Bill continued to attend reunions with his HK comrades. He was also a member of the Royal Canadian Legion for 67 years. In June, 2012, Bill was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in recognition of his contributions to his country and community. Sandra accompanied her father to numerous medical appointments with doctors and specialists and to hospitals for tests prior to his decision to have surgery. When her father returned home from the hospital, she tirelessly stayed by his side, day and night, caring for him to make him as comfortable as possible. Claire spent countless hours at his bedside, comforting him and reminiscing about the good times in their lives. The family would like to convey special thanks to Dr.
