New hope for EFI? Trustee who voted against early French immersion has new plan Alina Konevski The Progress
There’s fresh hope for an early French immersion program in Chilliwack. Board of Education trustee Silvia Dyck believes that the district should fund EFI through its reserve balance. On May 12, the board of education voted to reject an EFI program starting in 2014 in a tight 3–2 vote, on the grounds that the district couldn’t afford the program right now. Dyck will bring forward a motion at next month’s board meeting proposing that the board amend its budget guiding principles, in order to allow the $600,000 reserve to be used for the establishment of an EFI program. Dyck voted against EFI two weeks ago. Her change of heart may be the final push that brings early French immersion to Chilliwack. If all other trustees vote on the new motion on June 11 as they had on the previous one, Dyck’s motion would pass. A reserve is meant to support the educational needs of a community, stated Dyck in her draft report, to be presented to the board at Tuesday’s public meeting. “It is contradictory to hold a reserve while suggesting that we do not have the resources to start a new program that is both parent supported and part of our national identity as a bilingual country...We need to walk the talk.” In its first year, EFI would cost $578,035, according to an analysis by superintendent Evelyn Novak. This is just below the annual reserve amount of $600,000. After its first year, the costs for EFI climb, peaking at $1,052,535 by year five as more school grades join the program.

Dave Mathieson (aka Super Dave) is an aerobatic pilot who chose Chilliwack as his training town. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS FILE
Choreographing ‘a dance in the sky’ Stunt plane practice brings business to Chilliwack, but also a few complaints Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
The roar of Super Dave’s plane is being heard over Chilliwack — even though the local Flight Fest isn’t until August. The recent aerobatic flights are because pilot Dave ‘Super Dave’ Mathieson has to practise on a regular basis for safety reasons, Ray Firkus of the Chilliwack Flight Fest Society, tells The Progress. Super Dave made Chilliwack his official training town a couple of years ago, so he’s been pre-
paring manoeuvres in his MX2 two-seater plane for 15 minutes at a time. Mathieson is gearing up for a big summer season of air shows across the country, such as the free Flight Fest in Chilliwack. Both City of Chilliwack and Chilliwack Airport officials have fielded a few noise complaints from residents since the twicedaily practice flights started. But the city has no jurisdiction over the federally issued, special flight operating permits. “Some are finding it noisy and

inconvenient, but he’s only up there 15 minutes at a time, and it’s not every day.” “All air show performers have to practise to get their cues just right,” said Firkus. “It’s a dance in the sky they are choreographing.” It all about split-second timing, momentum, and calculations as he flips and rolls the plane without any audience members below him. High performance pilots have to get their “G tolerance” built up every year. “It’s done in the interest of safety,” Firkus said, who takes on the role of Air Boss during the Chilliwack Flight Fest every year. “This is something we want to encourage.”
Mathieson flies one of the most advanced aerobatic aircrafts out there, an MX2. It’s designed for plus-or-minus 16Gs, and has a roll rate of 500 degrees per second, powered by a 380-horsepower motor. That gives the plane a top speed of 300 miles per hour. All of the special flight operating certificates from Transportation Canada and insurance papers are in perfect order, say officials, but a handful of calls have come in anyway. A pilot needs a special permit when doing flips and rolls below 2,000 feet, heading toward the ground, like those required to Continued: DAVE/ pW3

Metro Van bills FVRD for incinerator info request Alina Konevski The Progress
The Fraser Valley Regional District is welcome to detailed information on Metro Vancouver’s Wasteto-Energy incinerator plans, but at a cost. FVRD wants access to every Metro Vancouver document related to the incinerator, going back a year and a half. In exchange, Metro Vancouver demands nearly $5,000 in fees to fulfill the Freedom of Information (FOI) request. “We want to see the technical documents, we want to see all the backand-forth, and see what’s going on, and how far along the process are they that we’re unaware of,” said Paul Gipps, Chief Administrative Officer at FVRD. “We need to know if we’re just going through steps and actions, and the decisions are already partly
made. If they’ve already chosen to go in a certain direction, with a certain type, or a certain location, or any of that. We need to know, when we put information out there, or when we talk to them, that they’re listening openly rather than just hearing what we have to say.” FVRD doesn’t believe that it currently has all WTE-related information. “We think there’s more going on. This way we’ll find out if there is. And if there isn’t, it’s good to have that information anyways,” said Gipps. A consulting company hired to oversee the WTE procurement process, HDR Corp., decided not to renew its contract in December because of an email between the company and Metro Vancouver showing bias toward certain technologies. This triggered FVRD’s request to
view all of Metro Vancouver’s WTE documents and communications. “Waste-to-Energy is the biggest thing affecting the Fraser Valley Regional District right now, and we’re taking it very serious, and we want Metro (Vancouver) to understand that they need to take our concerns very serious,” said Gipps. FVRD originally submitted its FOI request on Feb. 21, 2013. On March 1, Metro Vancouver replied that to provide these documents, FVRD will need to pay $4,942. This covers the estimated 78 hours of work, and 10,750 photocopies. Metro Vancouver will not begin the process without an initial deposit representing half of the total amount. FVRD responded on March 28 with a request to waive this fee on the grounds that the records relate to a matter of public interest, in line with Section 75(5) of the Freedom of Information and Privacy Protection
Act. Metro Vancouver refused to waive the fee. “I do not understand how the records relate to a matter of public interest or how they directly relate to the environment, public health or safety,” replied Chris Plagnol, Metro Vancouver’s Information and Privacy Coordinator. “Further, Metro Vancouver does not believe disclosure of thousands of records can reasonably be expected to benefit the public.” Metro Vancouver’s failure to see how this disclosure relates to public interest is “unsettling,” according to Stacey Barker, FVRD’s Manager of Environmental Services. She recommended last week that FVRD send a letter to the Information & Privacy Commissioner, requesting a review of Metro Vancouver’s refusal to provide a fee waiver. Gipps agrees that the public inter-
Keep farmland free from medical pot: City Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
The recent push from B.C. cities to ensure medical marijuana is grown in industrial zones, and not on farmland, stemmed from a motion first passed by Chilliwack city council. Federal authorities are now gearing up to remove medical pot grows from residential areas for good, to be replaced by large commercial growers. But there are still lingering questions as to where exactly these marijuana grow-ops will be permitted to set up shop. “Medical marijuana is more akin to a pharmaceutical product so we believe it should be sited in industrial rather than on agricultural land,” said Coun. Chuck Stam, chair of the city’s public safety committee. A new regulatory regime for medical marijuana from Health Canada is expected to come into force by 2014, and big changes are expected under the federally regulated program. About 67 per cent of Chilliwack’s land base is agricultural, so it’s a big question mark for Chilliwack, as to whether those lands will be allowed to be used for this purpose. City officials have made it clear they don’t want to see medical pot growing on farmland. The concerns range from odours and toxic chemicals, along with potential security issues from growrips, fires and mould damage, Stam said. “There’s a belief that it would put a lot of pressure on our agricultural producers, since it’s a high value crop.” He said a situation in Ryder Lake, where people are on private wells worried about contamination of their water, has highlighted the problem for the safety committee, and discussions have been held with Safer Neighbourhoods, and other groups. The resolution was brought to the floor of a Lower Mainland Local Government Association (LMLGA) meeting by Coun. Jason Lum on May 9. It urged Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) to lobby for the industrial-only land restriction as the feds prepare to approve new
est element is self-evident. “It’s clearly in the public interest. 450,000 residents in the Fraser Valley area are going to be directly impacted by this, and that’s very significant to us,” he said. “We represent a lot of people, and we’re all very concerned about our health and well-being out here in the Valley.” FVRD does not have a seat on the expert panel that oversees WTE plans. If this panel recommends to build an incinerator on Fraser Valley land, then FVRD will take part in the environmental assessment working group, as mandated by the Ministry of Environment. FVRD expects to use the information collected through the FOI to inform its decision-making at the working group, as well as guide its responses to Metro Vancouver’s WTE plans.
New gate goes up on Vedder Mountain Alina Konevski The Progress
Large medical marijuana grow operation have no place on farm land, Chilliwack council says.
large-scale growers. It argues that siting medical growops on farm land would create “a tax burden on the community” similar to other industrial uses, “at a much greater level than the tax recovery on farm property would produce,” and resolves that UBCM ask the province to amend the Assessment Act, so they can’t be classified as a farm for assessment and tax purposes, “if the land is used for the production and distribution of marihuana for medical purposes.” Ottawa announced in January it will phase out individual licences for medical marijuana users to grow pot in their own homes and instead have all medical pot grown and distributed by highly regulated, secure commercial operators. “For cities it’s remains a question of where it should happen, and zoning is the only tool we have,” Stam said.
The April 1, 2014 date is approaching quickly, he said. “It sounds like it’s a long time away, but it’s not,” said the Chilliwack city councillor. All of the “so-called legal” growops in homes won’t be permitted after that date as the MMAR rules are set to change, and cities have to be prepared with bylaws changes in place. “So the question becomes what happens to them? Do they turn out the light where they are on April 1? Or do they move onto industrial lands?” Stam asked. A total of 3,576 Canadians had licences to cultivate/produce marihuana for medical purposes, as of January 2010 according to federal sources, while 2,822 people hold a personal-use production licence and 754 hold a designated-person production licence under the Marijuana Medical Access Regulations
(MMAR). “I suspect there will be legal challenges to Health Canada eventually,” said Stam, depending on what they decide to do about locating the growops. Maple Ridge Mayor Ernie Daykin is one local leader who disagreed with the no-farmland position the other cities are taking. “We feel very strongly our industrial park is not the appropriate place,” he said. The main concerns, for Maple Ridge, he said, are odour for neighbours and whether operators have tough enough security to fend off grow-rips by gangsters. Maple Ridge wants the pot growers to instead be limited by the feds to agricultural parcels, with large setbacks, similar to mushroom or hog farms. --with files from Jeff Nagel jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno
In the latest effort to limit partying and dumping on Vedder Mountain, the owner of the forest access road starting at Majuba Hill Road has put up a heavy-duty gate on May 18 to block all traffic. There is no longer any access to Majuba Hill Road from Cultus Lake Parmenter Forest Service Road. The traffic limit is a relief to local residents who frequently hear partying and shooting on the mountain. “It was so peaceful,” said resident Kelly Hawes of the Saturday night that the gate went up. “Just really peaceful and quiet compared to the previous weekend. I’m much happier, I feel better. I feel something is being done.” Anthony Penner, who owns the road leading up the mountain from Majuba Hill Road, has previously built three gates over five years. They were torn down within weeks. He has built this newest barrier much stronger. The gate blocks the entire road, edge to edge, with large concrete blocks and a heavy steel frame. Within a few of days of the installation, a group of people who accessed the mountain from the Cultus Lake side broke the lock when they came to the gate, stating to a local resident that they didn’t know this was private property. Penner has also received threats from people that they will break down the gate. Responding to local concerns about security on the mountain, the Abbotsford police department has greatly increased its presence in the area. Continued: Gate/ p4

“The police have been actively involved now. Hopefully, that, along with the community being vigilant about what happens there, we’ll curb the problems that we’ve been having,” said Penner. “The police have encouraged anyone that sees anything that’s going on, on the property or at the entrance of the property, to call.” Other than recreation, logging operations sometimes use the access road. However, Penner doesn’t expect logging in the near future, because the company that held the cut lot lease hasn’t renewed it. Even if logging resumes, the companies provide ample advance warning to Penner. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is considering decommissioning a portion of the Crown road heading down the west side of Vedder Mountain in order to prevent people from driving down the road, only to be stuck at the locked gate. Allan Johnsrude, manager for the ministry’s Chilliwack district, confirms that this won’t happen without the consent of residents who live on the mountain, who access the road from Majuba Hill in order to prevent a long detour around the Cultus Lake side. akonevski@theprogress.com twitter.com/alinakonevski

Time to end reliance on polls
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
There is an overriding lesson from the election results of last Tuesday. Opinion polls aren’t worth a thing when it comes to predicting which party will be elected, and polls are relied on far too much by the media, and by political parties. As a direct result, there is less focus on issues by both the media and parties. Every single opinion poll, including those released very close to voting day, suggested the NDP were going to win a majority government. The NDP’s own internal polls told them the same thing. The BC Liberals may have had some different polling information, but even they were wondering just how the election would end up, given the barrage of negative polls and the incessant comment from every quarter that they were done. In some ways, this election had similarities to the 1969 election, in which Premier W.A.C. Bennett won his seventh straight victory. The NDP had a new leader, Tom Berger. While the economy was strong, there were a lot of privatesector strikes. Opposition to the government from both the NDP and organized labour was fierce. In the campaign, which took place in the midst of the summer, many commentators suggested that the Socreds were finished. They said Bennett was too old to be an effective premier (he was 69) and the NDP were the party of the future, with a young Vancouver lawyer (Berger) as their leader. Bennett had a simple answer to all those who suggested he was finished — “Take-home pay with Bennett or strike pay with Berger.” It was both effective and deadly. He focused on the economy and the importance of being able to feed your family. And the results were gratifying to the Socreds. Bennett won a decisive victory and Berger lost his own seat. The 2013 polls failed to reflect that the economy was front and centre in many people’s minds, and the NDP campaign was based on those polls. It talked about three years of deficits, new programs and higher taxes. Economic development was barely mentioned. Polls can never again be relied on as the basis of a campaign, media commentary or strategy. Polling companies need to make drastic changes to the way they survey people, but the media also need to stop relying on them. Information about policies is far more important than faulty polling numbers. ~ Black Press

Sober second thoughts on the Senate fiasco
PM Harper must be really thanking Toronto Mayor Rob Ford right now. The buzz around allegations of a video purporting to show Ford smoking crack cocaine has sure diverted the smoke from the Senate scandal. But the Ford fiasco doesn’t lessen the importance of the red chamber runaround. That mess swirls around an unprecedented gift of over $90,000 from PM Harper’s Chief of Staff Nigel Wright to pay off Senator Mike Duffy’s four years of invalid expense claims. No repayment needed. But you’ve got to wonder why someone with such a highly charged political position (the right-hand man of PM Harper) would think of gifting that amount of cash. Talk about a monumental lack of judgment. Yet this guy’s no slouch. Wright is a wealthy Harvard-educated lawyer and a

former policy adviser to Brian Mulroney. Did he not think this wouldn’t pass the smell test? According to the Senate Conflict of Interest Code, senators cannot accept gifts or other benefits except compensation authorized by law. If a gift is offered it must be “as a normal Margaret expression of courtesy or protoEVANS col or within the customar y standards of hospitality”. If any gift, or any accumulation of gifts, in a 12-month period exceed $500 full details must be filed with the Senate Ethics Officer. This all blew up last June when Auditor General Michael Ferguson recommended that the
Senate require more documentation for expense claims after finding that the chamber did not have proper documentation to support some living expense claims. In February, the Senate hired outside auditor Deloitte to examine the residency claims of Senators Mike Duffy, Patrick Brazeau (who was forced out of the Senate pending sexual assault charges), and Mac Harb. Senator Pamela Wallin’s expense claims also came under the microscope. Then this month in a domino effect Duffy quit the Conservative caucus, Wallin recused herself from the caucus and Nigel Wright resigned his post, saying he had not told PM Harper of his actions to pay Duffy’s expenses. It seems almost incredible that Harper did not know what was going on in his own office. He might have expected Wright to
take care of the issue – or oversee it – but not to the extent of cutting a personal cheque. This has to put Harper’s own credibility on the line underscoring a seeming mismanagement of the escalating political crisis as public criticism rained down from caucus and cabinet members. His first reference to it publicly was during a trade mission to Peru at the end of last week. Politicians must be held to a higher standard and level of transparency. OK, so that’s naive. A pile-up of mistakes has been made here. After all, it can’t be that hard to fill in an expense claim form. There are usually 105 senators in the chamber (five of them represent British Columbia) and they don’t all have math challenges. Most likely those senators are as frustrated with this crisis as

everyone else. Just as Marjory LeBreton, government leader in the Senate, called for stricter senate expense rules, the RCMP wants to examine the expense documents to see if there are grounds for a criminal investigation. Meanwhile the audit committee is looking at the expenses for a second time. The fallout from this mess is the accountability factor. Ultimately there have to be consequences for the enormity of this mess. Senators live in a secluded world and do valued work overseeing every Bill that comes through the House of Commons. As Canada’s first Prime Minister Sir John A. MacDonald promised, the Senate will provide sober second thought on the laws of the country. No doubt Senator Duffy is having sober second thoughts of his own right now.

Open letter to the new MLAs Dear Laurie and John: Now that the dust has settled, the campaign offices have been vacated and the election signs taken down, you should be feeling the weight of responsibility about now. You have both been given an honour that very few people get the opportunity to experience, the mandate to sit in the BC Legislature and speak on behalf of your constituents. As the outgoing MLA for Chilliwack-Hope, I’d like to share some words of wisdom to assist you both in becoming the best possible representatives for the communities that make up both the Chilliwack and ChilliwackHope ridings. You’ll know if you’re on the right track if you’re so busy it will take two assistants to help manage your schedule. If you find yourself asking “Wow, is this normal?” let me tell you now, the answer is “Yes”, especially within your first year and especially if you truly want to do a good job. There are many key relationships that need to be established and maintained. This takes time and a willingness to engage and quite frankly, it is now an expectation. Know that your encouragement and your presence can make all the difference in the lives of community members. A healthy community has environmentalists, non-profits, union members, non-union members, faith groups, secular groups, health care associations,
corporate leaders….you get the picture. A lazy politician builds relationships with the thought of fundraising and getting reelected as his main drive. Don’t go down that path. Know that the people who visit your office may respond to you and your staff with anger and animosity. Help them anyway. It’s your job. Much of what you do will go unnoticed and unrewarded. That’s what you signed on for. Take the time to really get to know the municipal, aboriginal and regional representatives. They have a lot of wisdom and experience that you can glean from them. After all, they are the most accessible elected leaders. They don’t have the luxury of debating important issues in Victoria or Ottawa, they conduct such business right in their communities and they will let you know if you’re on the right or wrong path. Find a good mentor. Don’t get me wrong, you’ll be given a lot of fancy binders to read and pages of notes, but there is no substitute for experience. Find the right colleague to offer advice along the way. This is key. Choose a person with integrity, not the most powerful. Everyone makes mistakes, including politicians. However, your mistakes will make the 6 o’clock news. Don’t drive drunk, run red lights, or lose your sky train ticket. The first two may be
forgivable but the last could cost you an election. You get the picture. Your life is no longer your own. This is the great trade off that comes with the job. Now comes the most important piece of advice. You will have your share of successes and outright disasters and when you do, don’t puff yourself up with arrogance but don’t berate yourself either. Recognize there is quite a lot you can accomplish, especially when you are in government, but that also means taking responsibility for poor judgements and being up front when it comes to difficult decisions. You may be members of the BC Liberal Party, but you are first and foremost MLAs. That means that you are the representatives for everyone, including those pesky “socialists” whose “butts you kicked” on May 14th. Listen closely to the words spoken at your swearing-in ceremony. If they cause you to tear up that’s perfectly natural. You’ve both been awarded, in my opinion, the best jobs in the province which are established on a sacred trust. Don’t screw it up. Wisdom, compassion, patience and sincerity - may you hold tightly to these virtues as you lend your voices to the important decisions that will be made, not only for the communities in our two ridings, but throughout the province.

Conservative survey unwanted I recently received a survey from you asking a few questions about my opinion on taxes and spending, resource development, the long gun registry, and your performance and that of the Conser vative Party. I found the survey offensive and lacking integrity, because: 1. It was clearly meant as propaganda, using phrases such as “The Liberal and
Ottawa NDP opposition have made it clear that they oppose responsible resource development...”. Yet you introduce it as a nonpartisan survey, which one should expect to be free of such inflammatory political language. 2. According to your letter, my personal information was obtained from Elections Canada. I consider receiving
partisan mail from my Elections Canada records to be a violation of my privacy. If I wanted Conservative Party mailings, I would have signed up for it with the Conservative Party. 3. You used government mail free of postage to send the survey. A political message lightly disguised as a parliamentary survey is a misuse of this privi-
lege. The Conservative Party should use its own funds to send political messages. I will be filing a complaint with Commissioner of Canada Elections and the privacy commissioner due to the misuse of my personal information. I expected better of you when I voted for you. Matthew Fox

‘Reckless’ teens start small revolution in Chilliwack PARK incorporates skateboarding and art with changing the world, and helping others and the environment Jenna Hauck The Progress
I
n front of a house on a short, quiet street in Sardis sits a curved skateboard ramp with ‘Park’ written on it and an arrow pointing towards the back of the house. Tucked in behind the house, surrounded by trees and greenery, stands a treehouse. This is PARK. It’s not a park. It’s PARK Lifestyles Inc., a new business founded by four 17- and 18-yearold Chilliwack teenagers — Max Gardner, Lucas Parry, Devin Brandreth and Davis Graham. PARK stands for Public Affiliation of Reckless Kids, and it’s a lifestyle brand focused on creating products such as clothing, skateboards, music and art made by individualistic kids who are following their own paths. “We were talking last March to see if we could start a small revolution in Chilliwack,” says Davis. That got Max thinking. In three days Max came up with the idea and concept for PARK. At the beginning of January, he approached his three friends and together they put together a rough
draft of a business plan in a week. Before they even had their treehouse storefront known as ‘the den’ set up, they started telling their friends at Sardis secondary about PARK, and word quickly spread from there. By opening day, on March 1, a flock of Chilliwack teenagers descended on the backyard. They were eager to get their claws on some PARK clothing. “It was pouring rain and people were lined up before doors even opened at 3:30 p.m. on Friday,” says Max. “We broke even within the first hour of opening the doors. In the first 15 minutes we sold out of all of our mediums in the store,” he adds. Not only that, but they sold out of everything in the first five days. They had to reorder more product. But why such a big hype about clothing with a picnic table logo and “Public Affiliation of Reckless Kids” printed across the front? It’s not just teenagers having an influence on their peers, or kids marketing to other kids. They’re doing more than that. “With PARK we are incorporating everything we love to do, like skateboarding, music, art, chang-
ing the world, and trying to give back,” says Max. They aren’t trying to give back, they are giving back. A portion of their profits are put towards helping other people. Last month they sent five firstaid kits to Ghana, Africa. The kits were purchased from SafetyFirst Worldwide, and that company then matched PARK’s donation by sending five kits to Haiti. Thanks to connections through family and friends, the guys at PARK are able to do work in west Africa and Haiti and eliminate the middleman, allowing 100 per cent of their donated funds to go directly to the first-aid kits. “We are a corporation without greed. We want to make other corporations look bad, and we are really going up against greed,” says Davis. They also have plans to put money towards national parks. Giving financial support to Canada’s parks is something all of them can connect with since parks are where the roots of their friendship sit. “We all used to hang out at a park, and that’s where the name came from,” says Max.
Their love of parks and of Chilliwack is what PARK Lifestyle Inc. is based on. “There’s a lot of talent and goodness in Chilliwack, and people don’t realize it,” says Davis. “We are bringing out the potential in Chilliwack. We are living in such a beautiful place and we want to share that.” Davis is the artist in the group. He created the company logo which is on all of the products (T-shirts, hoodies, hats, stickers, crew necks, and girls v-necks), plus he’s livened up the inside of the PARK store with large murals on the walls and ceiling. Max takes care of the business side of things, such as meetings, marketing and sales. Lucas is also part of the marketing and sales, plus he’s designing an old-school skateboard, known as a shortboard, which will become part of PARK’s product line. Devin is the organizer and ensures everything runs smoothly. Three of them — Max, Lucas and Devin — are finishing their Grade 12 year at Sardis. Davis graduated last year. Their short-term goal is to have an all-ages music festival featuring
local bands this summer. Their big goal is to have a store in the new Abbotsford mall that’s currently under construction. “If you put your mind to it and time into it, it can actually come true,” says Max. “None of this would have happened if one of us dropped out. We all share the dream.” ••• The PARK den is located at 45411 Jewel Ave. and hours are Mondays and Fridays from noon to 8 p.m., and Sundays from noon to 5 p.m. They accept cash only in the store.

Gluten free for all the right reasons Jennifer Feinberg The Chilliwack Progress Going gluten free doesn’t have to feel like a life sentence. With up-to-date information, and a range of tasty products, it can be done without too much bother, says Fiona Ehrenholz, natural health advisor for Pure Integrative Pharmacy on Vedder Road. Interest in gluten-free eating has exploded. Part of it is the significant rise in Celiac disease, a genetic autoimmune disorder. Someone with Celiac sustains damage to the intestines after an auto immune response has been triggered. The villi of the small intestines are destroyed by gluten, found in wheat and other food products. An estimated one per cent of the global population is now living with Celiac disease a Mayo Clinic study confirmed, pointing to an increase in the diagnoses of more than four times what it was 50 years ago, Fiona says. Lots of people have been trying the gluten-free approach to drop unwanted pounds, in the wake of the uber-popular Wheat Belly book by cardiologist William Davis. “People have to be careful. It might not be a great weight-loss tool if they are not making the right GF choices in terms of their flours, starches, and sugar.” For those with Celiac disease, or gluten intolerance, it’s about obtaining relief from painful and debilitating symptoms.
Gluten is found in the endosperm portion of the grain, used to make flour and it is actually the ingredient that gives baked goods their irresistible elasticity and springiness, helping to hold the structure together. “For the average person to be healthy, they don’t have to go totally gluten free,” says Fiona. “A good start is eliminating everything white, such as white flour, white sugar, white rice, and white pasta. “The difference is that when celiacs eat wheat it will damage their intestinal tract.” It is possible to heal the GI tract, she says, mentioning supplements like probiotics, ginger and glutamine. “Some think it’s too late but you can see improvements with supplements,” she says. “There is hope.” Fiona has been on a personal as well as professional journey for the past four or five years, transitioning to a gluten-free home life with her family. As an advisor for Pure, she’s made health presentations about it across Chilliwack, such as one she titled: ‘Going Gluten Free: A Passing Fad or Medical Condition?’ Fiona often dedicates the little lectures to her daughter Jessica, who they determined has Celiac disease, even though she has not had a biopsy test. Jessica, 19, went gluten free several years ago to see if she could alleviate symptoms, like a persistent and unexplained rash, which the medical establishment had no plausible answer
for. She just tried digestive enzymes, which helped at first. But then symptoms returned. So Jessica completely eliminated gluten from her diet for a two-week stretch. That’s when she was 14, and she’s never looked back. It did the trick. She lost weight and gained more confidence. Now she’s looking and feeling better years later. Her advice for anyone considering the big switch? “Don’t be afraid to do it,” Jessica says. “If you genuinely thinks it’s a life change you have to make, get a good support team around you and do it.” Many will find it’s not that bad, that it’s actually doable.
“For me cinnamon buns are hard. So I grieve that I can’t eat a Cinnabon, and then I just move on.” Jessica clearly remembers biting into that first GF brownie she ever tried, from a bakery in Abbotsford. The taste was truly horrendous. It was made with peas and nasty. “It was awful,” she says laughing. “I thought, ‘I’m never doing this.’” “She was going to revolt,” her mom remembers. Then Fiona got a copy of the Complete GlutenFree Diet & Nutrition Guide. That made all the difference in getting them started. The first thing she made was a delicious brownie recipe to eradicate the memory of the awful one. They still laugh about it together now.
She’s become an expert food label reader, and knows key nutrition facts inside out. The switch meant avoiding accidental cross-contamination by having her own jar of peanut butter, as an example.
“It a blessing in disguise for our family,” says Fiona. “It forced us to eat junk less often and adopt a much healthier diet.”
“I still live a normal life. I hang out with friends and go to youth group. You’d be surprised at the things you can still eat.”
When Jessica made the big switch, and the family made a big effort support her.
But it’s also okay to pine for the food you can no longer eat.
Also, they no longer have wheat, barley or spelt in the house.
She started a blog while still at high school, and talked to people about going GF. Continued: Gluten/ p14

Gluten Free Living
Keeping gluten-free delicious Sprouted grains contain enzymes that make them easier to digest for some.
GLUTEN from page 13 “I loved sharing.” Fiona joined her daughter by going completely gluten-free herself last summer. “If you are accustomed to living a particular way, any major change comes as a major shock,” says Fiona. They had to relearn how to bake and cook. “We looked at it as a chance to bring some of grandma’s old recipes into the modern century. We’ve made them into contemporary classics. Like the puffed wheat that became puffed rice or quinoa. It’s changing the way we look at things.” The Ehrenholz family now makes its own favourite adapted recipes and mixes. “But there is way more stuff available now than ever before,” Jessica says. Going GF is sometimes a change also made by those who have a gluten intolerance, as well as wheat sensitivity. Those with a wheat sensitivity, may find they can still eat other grains. “What I suggest first is to try the sprouted grains first, and to conduct an elimination test.”
“If that agrees with them, great. But if not, I might suggest they try kamut or spelt.” It really helps to do your research. Jessica developed her own granola recipe, that she says is tasty, nutritious and cheap. “GF granola mixes are expensive,” she says. “I decided to make my own.” The recipe is found elsewhere on this page. “It’s so simple and delicious.” Fiona is proud that Pure Integrative Pharmacy now offers four rows of varied GF products, with new ones being added all the time.
Homemade Granola 3 c Whole oats (check label for gfree)
There’s everything from soup to nuts. You can find supplements to heal the gut, as well as sprouted flours and nut butters. There is GF soup stock available, and a variety of pre-made mixes. Try the coconut oil, coconut sugar, almond flour, and so much more.
1 c Rice puffs or g.free rice crispies
“The thing is I never stop learning,” Fiona says.
1 Tsp Cinnamon
“There’s always going to be some new information coming out.”
1 c Pecans or Almond slices
1 c Quinoa puffs 3 Tbsp Chia seeds 3 Tbsp Hemp seeds 2 Tbsp Ground flax 3 Tbsp Coconut oil or Grapeseed oil ¾ c Brown rice syrup or Agave nectar
½ tsp Vanilla (or maple ext) Directions: Measure all ingredients into a large bowl and mix until evenly coated. Cover 2 large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Scoop out ½ the mixture onto one pan and the rest on the other. Bake at about 300 F for about 35 min. Can be stirred at least twice during this time. Let cool and store in an airtight container. Stays fresh for at least 2 weeks. Variations: You can substitute raisins, cranberries or other small dried fruit instead of nuts and you can add sunflower seeds and/or pumpkin seeds in place of the nutsor as well as.

grassroots level could be hugely preventative.
The Chilliwack Progress
Attack the root, not the result.
One school at a time. One doctor’s office at a time. One restaurant at a time.
“We go into the elementary, middle and high schools to talk to the principals, the staff and the parent advisory groups and we ask them to engage in some way,” Dixson explained. “But the question they ask then is, ‘How do we do it?’ So what we do is we have a workshop. We talk to the kids and adults. We have videos and demonstrations. We show them how a McDonald’s french fry doesn’t deteriorate, how it looks exactly the same after two months. We get them to think, and realize their health is their responsibility.”
Donna Dixson and her team at the Chilliwack Hospital and Health-Care Foundation hope four digits, 5-2-1-0, form the magic number for a healthier future. They are the call-sign for a new CHHCF program targeting Chilliwack’s youth. “We have some of the worst health statistics in the province with the highest rates for strokes, cardiovascular disease and a long and depressing list of other things. Chilliwack could be called the unhealthiest community in B.C.,” said Dixson, the CHHCF’s executive director. “And now, we have the first generation of kids who will likely die sooner than their parents, because a third of Canadian kids are overweight or obese.” Each of the four digits in the 5-2-1-0 program stands for something specific, a remedy to the big-picture problem and a message the CHHCF will pound away at in this public awareness initiative. Five as in five or more servings of vegetables and fruits every day. Two as in no more than two hours of screen (TV and computer) time a day. One as in
In August, the CHHCF had 10,000 reference cards produced, handy pocket-guides to the 5-2-1-0 program. at least one hour of active play each day and zero as in zero sugar-sweetened drinks. “This program is modeled after an evidence-based message that is used around the world, developed by a team of experts and led by a pediatric endocrinologist, Dr. Shazhan Amed of BC Children’s Hospital,” Dixson said. “She saw these obesity and health issues with children in her practice. Doing some research, she discovered
that a consistent health message (such as the Epode program in France) had been successful. All that was needed was to adapt it to fit BC. All we need to do is get everyone saying the same thing, so that everywhere a kid goes in Chilliwack, they and their family are hit with this message.” Chilliwack has 11,000 children in a community of 85,000.
Distributed to various Chilliwack locales, they were gone by December. Dixson has ordered another 20,000 since. “That’s incredible and it shows the demand that’s out there,” she smiled. “They’re in schools. We’re getting them into daycare centers and doctor’s offices. The idea is they need to be everywhere, and the key is simplicity. We need to make it easy.” Continued: Active/ p20

avoid a lot of muscle pulls and fatigue that way. And of course, stay hydrated.”
The Chilliwack Progress
The same advice goes for other outdoor activities.
Sean Kilgannon has seen ‘em all. In his practice at STK Performance Chiropractic, he sees sports injuries galore and helps people rehab from the most debilitating ailments.
Hiking is another surprisingly hazardous activity. “Just start slow, maybe do the Promontory stairs and work your way up to the Grouse Grind,” Kilgannon says. “It’s just like starting a running program. You don’t jump right into a 21-kilometre race. And don’t forget to rest. People forget that, but after any strenuous activity, the body has to heal. It’s common-sense stuff mostly.”
Backs. Shoulders. Necks and knees. And some of the worst come from those weekend warriors of weeding, the gardeners. No joke. “We see a lot of people who’ve been hibernating in their houses over the winter, and they get out in the spring and go crazy,” Kilgannon laughs. “They’re hunched over for eight hours or lifting heavy bags. They’re pulling things out of the shed with awkward leverage. If they’re pulling weeds, those roots can really be in there sometimes. There are lots of ways to hurt yourself.” Turns out gardening is just as strenuous an activity as going to the gym or hiking up Teapot Hill. Maybe more so. Yet no one thinks to warm up before they pull out the pruning shears. “Guys will do a 30-minute warmup to
play squash for 15 minutes, but they do nothing before they start hauling around logs and big bags of soil in the backyard,” Kilgannon laughs. “They’re shoveling dirt for four hours, and they probably don’t feel it so much on that day. But one or two days later, whoa boy, they feel it.”
the activities.”
The solution is simple enough, and an ounce of prevention is worth several pounds of cure.
Putting the entire body through a wide range of stretches encompassing a full range of motion is the way to go.
“You’ve got to get the blood flowing to the muscles with a little cardio,” Kilgannon recommends. “Go for a walk around the block and do some dynamic stretches. Wake up the joints and muscles that will actually be used for
“And the other critical thing is microbreaks,” Kilgannon notes. “Every five to 10 minutes, just get out of whatever position you’re in. Get up. Move your body into another position and get the blood flowing back into that area. You’ll
There’s A New Game In Town.
Stretching out the quads and hamstrings isn’t useful to someone who will be bent over for half the day. Shoulders are the biggest issue with gardeners, but no one thinks to stretch them out.

Don’t delay seeking out help. “If you come in the first or second day, the treatment is easier and there are more treatment options. If you wait for the body to stiffen up, it’s a lot more difficult,” Kilgannon cautions. “Don’t try and battle your way through it, because ‘no pain no gain’ doesn’t work.

Seniors
The road to a happier, healthier you The most important step to a healthier, more active lifestyle, says Karen Bester, is the first one.
– all with the aim of preventing a debilitating fall. There are other programs, offering different levels of fitness intensity. Seniors who start at one level, will graduate to the more intense classes as they become more fit.
And that rule applies to any age. True, taking that first step can be a little scary, says Bester, fitness and wellness manger at the Chilliwack YMCA.
Some of the classes are in the gym, but others – like Aquafit – offer an excellent low-impact alternative in the pool.
But the rewards, particularly for older adults, are outstanding. As we age, it’s easy to slip into a more sedentary lifestyle. But retiring from work shouldn’t mean retiring from life. Staying active can help maintain your wellbeing and improve your quality of life, Bester says. You’ll have more energy, greater confidence and be less prone to injury.
One theme remains consistent throughout the programs – having fun. Continued: SENIOR/ p19
THE FACTS
But where to start?
The Health Benefits of Being Active • Improve your balance • Reduce falls and injuries • Help you stay independent longer • Help prevent heart disease, stroke, osteoporosis, Type 2 diabetes, some cancers and premature death.
The Chilliwack YMCA offers a range of programs, tailored to a variety of abilities and fitness levels. “We don’t see ourselves as a gym,” says Bester, “but a holistic wellness centre.” Bester and her team offer education, advice and ideas on how to get healthy – and how to stay there. “If we can get them in shape, we can keep them there,” she says. That holistic approach is characterized in the osteo-fit program. Where once
it focused more on improving bone density for those with osteoporosis, today it takes a far more preventative

A recent study in the journal Neurology suggests that working out is the most effective way to protect the brain from Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers studied roughly 700 study participants from Scotland, all of whom were born in 1936. Each participant reported their levels of leisure and physical activity at age 70, rating their physical activity on a scale from moving only to perform household chores to participating in heavy exercise or competitive sport several times per week. Participants were also asked to rate how often they engaged in social or intellectual activities. At age 73, participants received an MRI to measure certain biomarkers in their brains. Those who
participated in more physical activity showed less brain shrinkage and fewer white matter lesions, both of which can be signs of Alzheimer’s disease. And while social and intellectual activities can be beneficial in preventing Alzheimer’s disease, the study found that social and intellectual engagement weren’t as helpful to the brain as physical exercise. The types of physical exercise most beneficial to the brain are still being studied, though information presented at the 2012 Alzheimer’s Association’s International Conference suggested that strength training is perhaps the most effective form of exercise

Kids
YMCA Healthy Kids Day, June 2 The Chilliwack Family YMCA is hosting its annual YMCA Healthy Kids Day on Sunday, June 2nd. The event is designed to help kids and families embrace healthy habits that can become a lifelong practice; this free community event will focus on fun and engaging activities, practical information and simple ways to be healthier in spirit, mind and body! “Only 7% of youth and 15% of adults in Canada meet daily physical activity requirements,” Sheri Josephson, General Manager of the Chilliwack Family YMCA says. “We hope to engage people in fun and exciting ways, helping them want to take steps to living healthier lifestyles.” Although this is an initiative of the national YMCA which models and incorporates healthy practices into its programs and activities for children and youth year round, the Chilliwack YMCA is making this event their own by inviting and making it a true collaboration of community partners who collectively have a mandate to serve children and families. Proudly supported by the Chilliwack Child and Youth Committee, the Chilliwack School District, Fraser Valley Development Centre, Chilliwack Community Services, Sto:lo Nation and Fraser Health, each organization will provide an interactive
display at the event. “We are excited to have Chilliwack’s Bowls of Hope program providing the healthy lunch. Although we expect up to 800 people at this year’s event, the numbers aren’t daunting for a group that feeds 600 elementary school children a healthy lunch every day of the school year! We are so grateful for this practical demonstration of true community spirit by Bowls of Hope, and proud to be one of the many enthusiastic organizations that will be part of this day,” says Donna Dixson, Director of Community Relations for the Chilliwack Hospital & Health Care Foundation. “The YMCA Health Kids Day is an important community event not only because it welcomes families and community members to our local YMCA facility for a day of active and fun learning, but it strives to develop community partnerships in order to raise public awareness of the importance of a healthy lifestyle. This is exactly what we are doing with the Healthy Kids Initiative. Leveraging partnerships, and the wonderful programs and events already taking place in the community, to deliver a consistent, evidence-based health message, Live 5-2-1-0.” explains Katrina Bepple, Program Implementation for Chilliwack Hospital & Health Care

Get outside with the Chilliwack Outdoor Club “For me the idea behind forming community and the back country is such a special process. When you spend hours on the trail with someone you don’t know well, and you get to chat with them for hours while hiking, that bond is very special,” says Waddington.
Jenna Hauck THE CHILLIWACK PROGRESS They hike, they paddle, they cycle, they climb. As long as the activity is humanpowered and somewhere amid the great outside, that’s where you’ll find the Chilliwack Outdoor Club.
Wawrychuk loves the comradeship. “There’s so much more enjoyment being able to share your interests with others in the mountains. It’s good to have people with similar interests and talk to people along the way,” he says.
“It’s an organization devoted to selfpropelled activities and people with an appreciation of nature. Here in B.C. we are blessed with being able to do that,” says 78-year-old Frank Wawrychuk, who has been a member with the club for 23 years.

The club has about 160 members from Langley to Hope, and at 23 years old, Sam Waddington is one of the youngest and newest members.
“We live in the perfect area — you don’t have to drive far. It’s a good group to get into,” says current member and past president Charlene de Glopper.
“I joined for the outdoor community that it’s associated with,” says Waddington, also a member of the club’s executive board. “I’ve always viewed Chilliwack for performing under its potential, and joining the club would be the best way to affect change.”
The club also ventures outside of the Chilliwack area to places like Manning and Squamish, south of the border to Mount Baker and Rainier, and across the ocean to Europe. This August, there will be a trip to Morocco to traverse the Atlas Mountains. For any trips that cost money, such as the one to Morocco, members pay for out of their own pocket.

Some of the money buys gear and equipment for the club such as canoes, tents, climbing ropes and harnesses, camping gear, and ice axes. In addition to enjoying what Chilliwack’s rivers, lakes and mountains have to offer, the club also gives back by doing regular trail maintenance. Last month some members upgraded a section of the Vedder Mountain Trail with help and funding from the Vedder Mountain Trails Association.

The Chilliwack Outdoor Club has been around for more than 30 years. It first started as a low-key hiking club and was run through the YMCA. About 15 years ago, they started branching out to include other activities, such as kayaking, canoeing, mountaineering, bicycling, snow shoeing, plus downhill, cross-country and back country skiing.
Over his 23 years with the club, Wawrychuk has organized many trips. When he first started, around the age of 55, he focused on mountaineering. More recently he’s helped out with the club’s paddling trips. But, he says, “it’s time for guys like Sam to take over.”

The 26Th annual BC ChilDren’s hOsPiTal’s MiraCle WeekenD
BC Children’s Hospital helps kids get care closer to home BC Children’s Hospital has played a big role in Kaitlyn Morovic’s life. The three-yearold was born with Down syndrome and two holes in her heart, and spent the first six weeks of her life in the hospital. Her mother Heather still raves about the care Kaitlyn receives at Children’s while also celebrating the fact that she now has what she calls her “direct link” to BC Children’s in the form of Richmond-based pediatrician Dr. Erik Swartz. “Dr. Swartz has expertise in Kaitlyn’s condition and everything that’s secondary to it,” Morovic says. “Although Children’s is just 20 minutes away, it’s great to be able to get an appointment quickly with Dr. Swartz, and he’s just a few minutes from home.” Swartz works in the General Pediatrics Clinic, which is part of the Child Health Centre at Richmond Hospital. The Child Health Centre was established with $800,000 in support from Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital aimed at ensuring all children in BC have access to a consistent standard of care no matter where in the province they live. The centre is also home to the Early Childhood Mental Health Program and the Noakes Primary Care Maternity Clinic. “The fact that Kaitlyn is able to receive specialized care so close to home is exactly
what we’re looking for,” says Dr. Maureen O’Donnell, executive director of Child Health BC. Child Health BC’s activities took off after Overwaitea Food Group became the lead benefactor with a pledge of $20 million in support in 2007. TELUS and Scotiabank later made gifts of $5 million and $1 million, respectively. This support had an immediate impact, says O’Donnell. Pediatric clinics established with Child Health BC’s support in Nanaimo and Prince George have thousands of patient visits annually; additional travelling clinics are staffed by BC Children’s caregivers in communities across the province; and over 1,000 health professionals have participated in Child Health BC’s workshops. O’Donnell credits Overwaitea Food Group’s donation with Child Health BC’s growing reach across the province, noting that it’s a perfect fit for an organization with a presence in so many BC communities. Overwaitea Food Group President Darrell Jones agrees. “We’re committed to the health and wellness of kids and families in BC,” says Jones. “We’ve been proud to support BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades – and with the help of our communities, we’ve contributed millions of dollars toward hospital improvement projects,
advocacy programs and important research initiatives. We’re grateful for the amazing support of our local communities, team members, customers and supplier partners who have all played a key role in making this fundraising success possible.” Child Health BC is part of a larger transformation in the way BC’s children receive care, says Larry Gold, president of BC Children’s Hospital and Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children. The transformation also includes the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital in Vancouver. “We want to ensure children have access to a consistent standard of care, whether they live in Smithers, Campbell River or Castlegar; and there will always be children who need care that’s only available in a children’s hospital,” says Gold. BC Children’s Hospital Foundation has raised close to $170 million, including Overwaitea Food Group’s gift and $25 million from Teck Resources Limited, in its $200-million capital campaign to support construction of the new hospital and Child Health BC. Gold says that the new hospital, which will open in 2018, will be family-friendly, making it easier for families from outside the Lower Mainland to remain with their children. Beyond the money being raised for the new hospital and Child Health BC, Gold says the hospital also counts on donations of about $14 million a year to support research, equipment purchases and training. On June 1 and 2 BC Children’s Hospital Foundation will hold its annual Miracle Weekend celebration on Global BC, to raise the millions the hospital needs to cover its urgent annual needs. “Every year people from across the province make donations in support of the hospital and it makes a huge difference,” says Gold. “Kaitlyn Morovic is proof of that.” Heather Morovic says she’s grateful for both the care Kaitlyn receives at BC Children’s and the support she gets on a regular basis from Dr. Swartz. “He just gets it,” she says. “And Kaitlyn is doing fantastic. She’s walking and trying hard to talk, and she certainly knows how to pull on the heart strings. With BC Children’s and Dr. Swartz on our side, we couldn’t ask for a better support team.”
BC Children’s Hospital treated over 81,000 children last year. Approximately 67 per cent of those children came from outside the City of Vancouver.
JUNE 1 & 2, 2013 On June 1 and 2, tune in to Miracle Weekend, broadcast live from BC Children’s Hospital, on Global BC from 7:00pm on Saturday, June 1 until 5:30pm on Sunday, June 2 The 26th annual BC Children’s Hospital’s Miracle Weekend is a two-day celebration that showcases the best of BC Children’s Hospital: patients, their families, caregivers and supporters who come from every corner of BC. BC Children’s Hospital receives over 200,000 visits from patients from across the province every year. Donations help the hospital deliver the best in care every day, and are helping to prepare for the future by supporting the construction of a new BC Children’s Hospital and better access to care for children in or close to their home communities. Please support BC Children’s Hospital.

At the Overwaitea Food Group, we’re very proud of our longstanding commitment to investing in the health of kids and their families. We’re grateful to everyone who supports us in this effort. Our team members, customers and suppliers have all played a key role in our fundraising success over the years. We’ve been supporting BC Children’s Hospital for more than two decades, and we’ve raised millions of dollars in support of capital improvement projects, important research initiatives and advocacy programs designed to help keep our kids safe by reducing preventable injuries. In 2007, we made a $20 million pledge to support Child Health BC, an initiative of BC Children’s Hospital that helps get kids in BC get the care they need, closer to home. Since then, we’ve raised more than $10.7 million toward our goal, and Child Health BC has been able to put this concept into action in a number of communities throughout BC. We are grateful for the amazing commitment and fund raising efforts driven by OFG team members who encourage the generosity of our customers and suppliers.

PCSL men deserve better fate
A hard-luck weekend saw Chilliwack’s Pacific Coast Soccer League men collect one point when they probably deserved a whole lot more. Chilliwack hosted the Mid Isle Highlanders Saturday at Townsend
Park, battling the visitors to a 2-2 draw. Though they were the better team, controlling much of the play, this one came perilously close to being a 2-1 loss. Connor McMillan tied the match on the very last play of the game, scoring off a free kick. Dawson Lindahl had the other Chilliwack strike, pouncing on a loose ball in the 18-yard box and deflecting his shot off a Mid Isle defender and in. Chilliwack played another home game
Sunday, hosting Victoria United in a rematch of last year’s PCSL championship. Chilliwack lost three times to Victoria last year. Determined to turn it around, they were clearly the better team. But they were lacking in luck. Chilliwack controlled play and had three or four glorious, but unsuccessful, chances around the Victoria net. United put one in the Chilliwack net with seven minutes remaining and held on for a 1-0 win.
“We deserved four or six points from this weekend, not one,” said team manager Mike McMillan. “But coach (Gary Moffett) feels that if they can keep playing like this, they still have a chance to finish top four and make playoffs.” Chilliwack has just one win against four losses and a draw as they head into a Sunday showdown with the Abbotsford Mariners. That game will be played at Bateman Park in Abbotsford. Get league info online at pcsl.org
Football four find spots on Team BC The GW Graham Grizzlies have placed four junior varsity football players on the 40-man Team BC U-16 roster. Football BC released the full list Monday. The four Grizzlies who will travel to Manitoba for national championships this summer are
linebacker Jordan Breuker, running back Billy Hanson, offensive lineman Braydon Winger and receiver Emerson Smith. Team BC will play in four games between July 6-14, all at Investors Group Field, the newly constructed home of the Canadian Football League’s
Winnipeg Blue Bombers. “They have a chance to play in a high profile tournament in a brand new first-class facility with the best players in the province,” said GWG head coach Laurie Smith. “And it’s a huge accomplishment for our first-year program.”
PCSL women edged by Action It’s just four games into the PCSL reserve women’s season, and Chilliwack coach Glenn Wilson doesn’t want to panic just yet. But one problem has been apparent as his team has played to four straight losses. No finish. His goaltending has been great. His defence has been stingy. His midfield has controlled the play and his front line has created chances. But goals have been hard to come by. The team lost 2-1 to the Fraser Valley Action Saturday, with Kate Smith collecting the only Chilliwack goal. By Wilson’s estimate, his team had the ball for 70 per cent of the game and had chances aplenty. “The problem right now is that we’re not turning that pos-
session into goals,” Wilson said. “In the games we’ve played so far, I don’t think our opponents, from front to back, are any better than we are. But the finish isn’t there.” In a different league with a longer season and more playoff berths available, Wilson might have time to ride it out and wait for the offence to click. But with zero points on the board and only four postseason spots available in a nineteam circuit, patience is a luxury he can’t afford. “Points are so important in this league, where the first game is just as important as the last,” he said. “We don’t have the opportunity to give it time.” With a road game tonight against the North Shore Stars, Wilson has decided to
experiment. “We play a 4-4-2 with two strikers, and sometimes it’s a case of those two not clicking,” he said. “You need them to have a good sense of each other, and our combos haven’t hit it off.” So, new combos. Wilson is looking to mix and match, and part of that involves throwing Dariann Kloot into the fray. Kloot has been excellent as a midfielder, and her big right foot could make a difference. “Right now our shots are weak and they’re not troubling the goalie,” Wilson said. “So we’ll try to get Dariann closer to the goal. She’s not an attack-minded player, but we’ll see if we can get it out of her.” See Thursday’s Progress for an update and check online at pcsl.org

nee Abrams Joy peacefully passed away surrounded by family and friends in Chilliwack on May 20, 2013 RENAERTS at the age of 87 years old. She was born on April 22, 1926 in New Westminster, B.C. Joy is predeceased by her husband Laurence Fortin and her brothers, Stan, Ralph and Howard Abrams. She is survived by her brother Don Abrams, children Diane (Don) Catt, Charlie (Cecelia) Fortin, Jeff (Shauna) Fortin, grandchildren Sarah (Sebastien), Jenna (Justin), Stephen, Daniel (Stefanie), Graham, Sean and Catherine, great grandchildren Emilie and Elise, sistersin-law Yvonne (Lou) Hamel and Delphine Fortin and dear friend Nancy Royal. Whenever visiting Joy in sunny Sardis you’d be promptly offered one of her famous peanut butter and marshmallow squares, slice of home-made pumpkin pie or a warm cup of tea (unless you’d prefer Ovaltine). While you caught up, she might have put on some big band music. Perhaps something musician Laurence performed for Joy when the two first met. If you faintly heard CKNW 980 outside her door, no need to knock, Joy was probably at Cultus Lake. Maybe out for a swim, game of cribbage or stroll to Sunnyside. One of Joy’s motto’s was to “travel when you’re young� and she did just that with her family and close friends that created many wonderful memories over the years. She has the slides to prove it. The family is thankful for the exceptional care from Dr. Mark MacKenzie, as well as the staff at Valley Haven and Hampton House. A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:30 pm on Thursday, May 30, 2013 at Carman United Church, 7258 Vedder Road Chilliwack. A Reception to follow the Service in the church hall. In Lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or to Carmen United Church.
