FHA urges immunization as kids head back to school Billboard ads among tools used to get the word out Katie Bartel The Progress Fraser Health Authority is ramping up its vaccination efforts in Chilliwack and beyond. With 13 measles cases in B.C. since January, and five currently in Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Surrey and Burnaby, FHA says it doing everything it can to stop the spread.

While the initial case of the current outbreak was found in early August, Fraser Health purposely timed its awareness campaign to coincide with back-toschool. “We knew in summertime there isn’t as much exchange [of the infection] in terms of people being away and on holidays,” said Dr. Victoria Lee, medical health officer with Fraser Health. “But now, with back-to-school, there are a lot more social circles where measles can spread very quickly.”

Chilliwack bus riders thanked with cookies Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Thank you, Chilliwack, for taking the bus! That was the message from City of Chilliwack, BC Transit and elected reps, who were handing out cookies and safety lights at a customer appreciation event at the downtown transit exchange Wednesday. It was part celebration, and part official recognition of the largest transit expansion in Chilliwack’s history, with 7,500 additional service hours, statutory holiday service, and better routes. “It’s a big deal,” Coun. Jason Lum, chair of the transportation advisory committee, said of the
considerable system growth. It’s not just a significant expansion for Chilliwack, but B.C.-wide as well. “It’s one of the largest expansions we’ve had across the province,” confirmed BC Transit CEO Manuel Achadinha. “It’s a reflection of the huge commitment City of Chilliwack has for growing transit.” Chilliwack’s impressive 7,500 extra hours of bus service for 2013 is equivalent to the service increase the larger community of Victoria planned for its own system, he noted. Also when route #1, started offering speedier service last summer with a bus every 20 minutes, the ridership numbers immediately spiked to record

levels, and have been on the rise ever since. “It’s incredible to watch how the stats have just been rising, rising, rising,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. She thanked the local ridership, and those who offered detailed feedback on the new bus service during transit plan consultations. “People spoke to us and we listened,” she said. Last week, service hours were increased by more than 30 per cent, along with two new bus routes and better north/ south connections to serve local schools and UFV. “Through BC Transit we are connecting communities with fast, efficient, safe and afford-

able public transportation,” said Chilliwack MLA John Martin. The transit boost means the university and other educational facilities around Chilliwack are made even “more accessible,” and that gives everyone the option of leaving the vehicles at home. “We recognize how important public transportation is and that is why we have invested more than $96 million this year into BC Transit’s operations — the highest per capita transit investment in Canada,” he said. Plus with the ability to order transit passes online, “taking the bus is easier than ever,” Martin added. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Burning garbage doesn’t make sense: FVRD chair Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Environmental impacts will be “inevitable” if Metro Vancouver insists on burning garbage, said FVRD chair Sharon Gaetz. Metro’s existing incinerator in Burnaby is continuing to exhibit a pattern of failed toxicity tests. Samples of bottom ash recently tested positive for high concentrations of cadmium – some at twice the allowable levels for landfills.
“It defies logic that Metro Vancouver is continuing with a proposal to build a second, larger incinerator while they have repeatedly shown that they cannot even properly manage the smaller one already in operation,” said Gaetz in a FVRD release. FVRD is expressing concern and frustration in wake of a Metro Vancouver staff report from solid waste services GM Paul Henderson. It showed that bottom ash loads have failed 19 times out
of 479 tests so far this year, with eight tests coming back at more than twice the limit. “This unsettling report demonstrates the environmental problems that inevitably arise when you burn garbage,” said Gaetz. The testing failures are different from the high cadmium levels detected a year ago in some fly ash that came from scrubbers in the waste-to-energy plant’s stack. Operator Covanta Energy failed to report those until they were
already dumped at the Cache Creek regional landfill. FVRD officials want to pursue greener initiatives for solid waste management, avoiding garbage incineration all together. Trouble with incoming ash loads was first flagged in 2007, when some bottom ash exceeded allowable levels of lead, but the report says subsequent testing determined it wasn’t hazardous to workers and steps were taken to ensure compliance with the land-
ATV enthusiasts strive for solutions Alina Konevski The Progress With residents upset about noise pollution from off-road vehicles in the Chilliwack River Valley, the government and recreation groups are moving toward solutions. The Tamihi Creek area has many popular dirt-biking and quadding trails extending from a forest service road that runs along the river. But when loud ATVs pass along the road, residents across the 50-metre river divide hear the noise as if it’s right beside them. It’s a disturbance when people have chosen a home in the river valley in order to get away from it all. As Ken Stobbs, resident in a subdivision off of Chilliwack Lake Road, told The Progress in August: “(The noise) just rockets right across, just like they’re going past our bedroom window...We have stopped going (to the cottage) basically because of this. It’s a really horrific situation.” One of the common culprits are off-road motorcycles. Tom Timmerman is president of Dual-Sport B.C., an online nonprofit community group for 2,000 recreational dirtbiking enthusiasts. He’s also a past president of the B.C. Off-Road Motorcycle Association, the definitive provincial dirtbike club. Timmerman recognizes there is a problem at Tamihi Creek. “Sound carries across the river. It’s like we’re right in their backyard. Most people that I’ve talked to don’t even realize that there’s houses across there. So we have to make them aware, so people understand that we’re not the only ones out there,” said Timmerman. He has been working with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations on designing a multi-use staging area rest site for off-road vehicles, equestrian riders, and others. The plan is

fill’s operating certificate. Bottom ash ends up in the Vancouver Landfill at Burns Bog in Delta. Metro was advised starting in April of this year that some bottom ash was exceeding leachable cadmium levels. Henderson also noted that the amount of cadmium in the waste stream is increasing over time, which suggests that cadmium toxicity in bottom ash is a problem that will likely get worse, not better.

Terry Fox Run aims to ‘keep the dream going’ Katie Bartel The Progress
fact, argues the Surrey resident, people without vehicle licences or insurance shouldn’t be riding that road at all. Currently children under 16 are regularly on the road, as they use it to connect to the trail network up the mountain. For the kids, there should be a designated loop off the FSR. “We’re working with the ministry of natural resources and forestry there to see if we can get the speed limit and designate it a quiet zone, so that the people that are riding there realize that there are people just across the river,” said Timmerman. The Chilliwack River Valley, and especially Tamihi Creek, is the next big destination for off-roading, according to Timmerman, who rides in the area twice monthly year-round.
Margaret Kostrzewa expects to see Chilliwack support at this year’s Terry Fox Run. There are no excuses for people not to be out Sunday morning with their running shoes laced up, the organizer of the local run said. The weather is going to be beautiful. The route is beautiful. There’s going to be a panOne of cake breakfast. And while these days K o s t r z e w a someone is acknowledges there may be fund- going to find raising fatigue with a cure the number of charity runs offered, ~ Margaret this one, she said, Kostrzewa should always be held close to Chilliwack’s heart. “The Terry Fox Run is our community run,” she said. “Most of the [Fox] family lives in this area. Let’s get out there and support them.” Kostrzewa has been supporting the cause for years, even when her own mother was in hospital battling bone cancer five years ago, she was actively running back and forth between the local events and hospital. Her mother died Sept. 17, 2008. “I know what people are going through,” she said. “When you lose a parent, child, anyone it’s difficult. That’s why we need to keep the dream going. “One of these days someone is going to find a cure.” This year is the 33rd annual Terry Fox Run. The Chilliwack run is on Sept. 15 at 9 a.m. at the Landing Sports Centre on Spadina Ave..

to get recreational users away from the main tangle at Tamihi Bridge and up into the trail network quickly. “The idea behind this is to get people off the dangerous corner behind the Tamihi bridge,” said recreation officer Mike Peters. “(We’re) trying to get everybody to park in a location where we can have rules and educate riders and have rules in place to deal with items like noise and parking, and allow people better access to trails so they’re not going on the road.” That bridge is at the junction of a dangerous “big, sweeping corner,” said Peters, where logging trucks use the paved road. It isn’t safe for anyone, especially young riders, to be on that corner on their bikes or ATVs. Once set up sometime mid-

2014, the Tamihi Creek staging area will be the third in lower Fraser Valley. The $75,000 price tag will be covered by funds from stakeholder groups as well as the ministry. The government recently completed another at Chipmunk Creek. “Once it is built, it will allow access right into the woods and onto the trails, and then we’ll probably come up with ways to discourage people from going back to the main road, and try to get them into the trails as quickly as possible,” said Peters. While the development is a good one, Timmerman would like to see a lot more happen. The speed limit on the main forest service road, which has several campgrounds resting on it, should be lowered to 30 km/ hr, he says, to prevent people speeding at over 50 km/hr. In

Fraser Health has gone ahead and imposed a controversial $25 a month wheelchair rental fee at its 16 longterm care homes even though the neighbouring Vancouver Coastal Health Authority has decided to hold off. Seniors have until now had free use of wheelchairs in publicly run residential care homes. Fraser Health was
the first B.C. health authority to notify residents in June that if they needed a wheelchair and didn’t own one or rent one from another vendor, they would have to pay starting Sept. 1, unless they applied for and received a hardship waiver. At that time it was expected the policy would be consistent province-wide. Vancouver Coastal spokesman Gavin Wilson said residents there were about to
also be notified of the change when a public backlash over the idea prompted the health ministry to embark on a review of all allowable fees. “It raised the issue that there are a lot of inconsistencies not only between health authorities but even within health authorities about how these fees are applied,” Wilson said. Fraser Health spokesperson Tasleem Juma said the authority decided to proceed with the fee since more than 1,000 notifications had already been sent

to residents in its facilities and some had completed forms or begun applying for hardship waivers. “Rather than create confusion, we decided to say the wheelchair fee remains in place and continue the path of helping those who cannot afford it to go through the waiver process,” she said. Juma said the fee has been “quite well accepted with regard to the residents we’ve had contact with.” NDP leader Adrian Dix said Fraser officials should reverse the fee, which won’t actually start to be debited from residents’ accounts until the end of September. He noted it’s the only B.C. health authority that will now be charging for wheelchair rentals. “It’s not a good idea, it’s regressive and it requires a lot of energy to collect,” Dix said. “Being ahead of all the other health authorities on an issue like the wheelchair tax is not the right place to be.” The province argued that the fee, aimed to recover maintenance costs for the wheelchairs, was fair because residents who live in their own homes or in many privately run homes don’t get them for free.

Potentially deadly dog virus prompts pet warning Jennifer Feinberg The Progress An outbreak of canine parvovirus is being reported in Chilliwack and the surrounding areas. “We have been made aware of a significant number of confirmed cases,� Trina Douglas, FVRD supervisor of Animal Control Services for Commissionaires B.C. Parvovirus has been confirmed in 16 locations in and around Chilliwack, and of that number 14 were reported in the last week.
“There’s never that many at one time,� said Douglas. It’s a big concern because the virus can live on the ground for a minimum of six months and can withstand freezing. “So it’s difficult to eradicate once it’s in the environment.� As a result, they’re advising dog owners to get their dog’s vaccinations up to date, to reduce off-leash walks on trails and dikes if unvaccinated. Animal control has no current cases at its facility on Wolfe Road, and it
has been parvo-free for two years. Dogs, as well as coyotes and wolves can carry and shed the virus, which is why it’s important for owners to clean up pet feces. Dogs can be carriers and show no signs. Parvovirus attacks the dog’s gastrointestinal system after fecaloral contamination. It progresses quickly to
extreme dehydration and secondary bacterial infections. “Parvo is a nasty and virulent one,� said Dr. Tim Maarhuis, a local vet. “It can get severe very quickly. When they die of it, it’s from severe dehydration and bloody diarrhea.� This is the first time in a decade he’s suddenly seen “an explo-

include lethargy, lack of hunger, discoloured feces. It progresses quickly incubating in three to seven days. The Chilliwack vet said he wishes the public could see a dog suffering with parvovirus to convince them of the value of effective vaccines. “If a puppy gets a series of vaccines and
then boosted at a year, it gets some good immunity.� Otherwise it could costs thousands of dollars in hospital treatment, or the dog’s life. Treatment is mainly fluids by IV. For more details Dr. Maarhuis recommended veterinarypartner. com. jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Keep shots up-to-date: FHA Fraser Health has confirmed one case of measles in Chilliwack, and has identified several other cases suspected of developing into measles. Measles is an infection of the respiratory system, and is highly contagious. It is most serious for infants, who die at a rate of one for every 3,000 infections in developed countries. “The only protection against measles is immunizations,â€? said Dr. Lee. “We are doing everything we can‌ urging families, children, parents to ensure they are protected.â€? Still, in Chilliwack, some have mixed feelings regarding vaccinations. Rachel Culhane, mother of three school-aged children, admitted she delayed getting her children immunized with the MMR vaccine by six months. Culhane didn’t feel comfortable overloading her children with several vaccines at once. “They get so many vaccines at once, it’s got to be tough on their little bodies,â€? she said. “I wanted to give their bodies time to mature. Ultimately, all three of Culhane’s children were vaccinated. The current measles outbreak was not brought into the country by travelers, as is usually the case, noted Dr. Lee. “It’s very concerning that what we are seeing with all the cases is that they are either un-immunized altogether, incompletely immunized, or did not know their immunization status,â€? said Dr. Lee. “So again, it emphasizes the importance of being fully immunized and ensuring your records are up to date.â€? Vaccinations can be obtained through family physicians, the public health unit, and some pharmacies.

VICTORIA – Adrian Dix is expected to announce next week whether he will continue as leader of the B.C. NDP. An official in Dix’s office said Tuesday no date or time has been set for the announcement. The NDP caucus meets Wednesday (Sept. 11) for the first time since the legislature adjourned in late July, where Dix is expected to inform the party’s MLAs of his decision. Dix has faced calls from within his party to resign since the NDP lost the election to an unpopular B.C. Liberal Party coming off the repeal of the harmonized sales tax and other controversies. NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth
said Tuesday he will wait for Dix’s announcement before clarifying his own leadership intentions. “But hey, I finished second last time,” Farnworth said. Energy critic John Horgan and other potential successors have also kept their intentions under wraps as the party prepares for its annual convention in November. Premier Christy Clark met Monday with B.C.’s industrial union leaders, traditional allies of the NDP, emerging with a pledge to work together on developing natural gas pipelines and export facilities. Provincial and municipal politicians are gathering in Vancouver next week for the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention, at which the opposition leader and premier traditionally give speeches.

It’s easily accessible off a paved main road, and is a huge wilderness area with over 100 km of quad and motorbike trails. Once people are riding on the trails, they don’t often see other riders. “Definitely the use is increasing dramatically, and with that use of course we’re going to have more and more enforcement issues, like noise, like speed,” said Timmerman. “Right now it’s a free-forall. But those days are numbered...We just can’t do whatever we want out there. We have to have respect for all the other user groups out there.” Timmerman believes the future of motorized sport is a mandatory course for kids about safe and respectful riding.

Floods, fires costly for B.C. Black Press The B.C. Liberal government’s promised balanced budget is still on track, despite a dip in personal income tax revenues and higher than expected costs for flood and forest fire response, Finance Minister Mike de Jong said this week. Releasing first-quarter financial results for the current fiscal year, de Jong said the finance ministry expects to post a small surplus of $136 million on the province’s operating budget of $44 billion. For the second time since the election, the surplus forecast was reduced. NDP finance critic Mike Farnworth continued to question whether the books will be balanced by next spring. “The government spent millions of dollars in the run-up to the election campaign promoting its jobs plan, promoting its budget, basi-
cally saying if they were re-elected, everything would be rainbows and unicorns,” Farnworth said. “The surplus has been reduced twice, and we’re only just in the first quarter.” De Jong said despite the relatively small area burned by forest fires this year compared to last year, costs were $71 million more than budgeted because more fires were in populated areas in the south, requiring aerial and rapid response. Forest fire budgeting is always a “crapshoot,” with dry weather, lightning strikes and proximity to settlement impossible to predict with any accuracy, he said. Emergency flood response costs added another $27 million to the bills for B.C. in the first quarter, after heavy rains swept through southeastern B.C. and into southern Alberta, where downtown Calgary and High River
were flooded. De Jong said the government’s hiring freeze and wage freeze for non-union staff continues, along with the “cooperative gains” mandate for union contracts that requires raises to be funded by savings in other areas of the operation. Total government revenue was up $69 million from the government’s post-election budget update in June, helped by higher than expected corporate tax revenues.

Property transfer tax revenues were up $25 million, reflecting an uptick in the B.C. housing market. Other tax revenues were up $10 million, after what de Jong said was a smooth transition from the harmonized sales tax to the separate provincial sales tax this spring. Forest revenue was up $62 million from the June forecast, but mineral revenues were down $41 million, mainly due to lower coal prices and reduced shipments.

Goodbye, Lilee-Jean
The Chilliwack
Progress
R AESIDE
The sad end to Lilee-Jean Putt’s battle with glioblastoma is a story that none of us has wanted to report. From the time she was diagnosed with the aggressive form of brain cancer, our hearts have slowly been breaking. But thanks to the courageous hearts of her parents, Andrew Putt and Chelsey Whittle, we were able to follow her story through their website, Facebook page, interviews and photo opportunities. They shared the highs with us, such as LJ’s first day of kindergarten at age two. They shared the lows with us, through updates of her diagnoses. But mostly, they shared love with us. They shared their Love for Lilee and it seemed like the whole world joined in that feeling. As we know they’re mourning right now, we thank Lilee--Jean’s whole family for opening their doors and their hearts to the world. Because cancer affects everyone. Each of us know someone who is grappling with a cancer diagnosis, has lost their life to cancer, has lost a spouse, a child, a friend. But because of its prevalence, we may forget the awfulness of it. We may turn a blind eye to the reality of surgeries, to chemotherapy and its harsh side effects. We may even stop contacting friends who are battling their way through it, to protect ourselves from the pain. But we shouldn’t. None of us are immune from cancer. We’re certainly not immune to death. And just as we supported Lilee and her family through her pain, we need to continue supporting them through their loss. Lilee-Jean Putt has created a legacy, without even trying. She was only two years old, and held all of us in the palm of her hand. It’s quite reminiscent of the love that is still felt for Terry Fox, to this day. Let’s keep that Love for Lilee alive, too. Jessica Peters, Agassiz Observer
B.C. V IEWS
Curing a persistent community cash crunch VICTORIA – Local politicians from across B.C. are in Vancouver Sept. 16 to 20 to take part in the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention. There will be trivia reported as news, such as the cost of hotels. Suggestions to license mobility scooters or lower speed limits to 40 km/h, dreamed up in Vancouver Island retirement locales, will be rejected by delegates from the rest of the province. Serious discussion will revolve around a report by a UBCM executive committee to reshape the financial relationship between the province and local governments. If this proposal gets the support it deserves, Premier Christy Clark’s government will be asked to undo a couple of decades of political meddling in that relationship. One problem for local governments is that they depend on property tax, a stable source of
revenue but one that has no relationship to the property owner’s ability to pay. It tends to load costs onto lower-income groups such as seniors and renters. E c o n o m i c growth results mainly in increased corporate and personal income tax revenues as well as sales taxes, Tom which aren’t shared FLETCHER with local governments. One key proposal is to return to a system of revenue sharing grants introduced by the Social Credit government in the 1980s. They were funded by one point each from personal and corporate income tax and six per cent of sales, fuel and resource tax revenues, thus increasing in years when provincial revenues
were strong. The UBCM proposal is to put a share of provincial revenues into an infrastructure bank, to be distributed by the organization on a more stable basis. Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard, one of the authors of the report, uses a basketball analogy to describe the current system of federal-provincial grants for road and bridge projects. It’s a “jump ball,” where communities have to apply to a fund when it’s offered and then see who gets it. Even if a community wins the jump ball, they may find themselves with costs inflated by a hot construction market and an arbitrary deadline to get the job done. Then there are new regulations imposed by senior governments. The most dramatic example these days is a 2020 federal deadline for Greater Victoria to construct land-based sewage treatment.

The Chilliwack
Progress
Even with federal and provincial cost sharing, this project is going to land heavily on property tax bills, including those of pensioners and poor renters who will have it passed on to them. Leonard points to another arbitrary system, provincial facilities that pay grants in lieu of property taxes. Saanich is home to the University of Victoria, a community of 25,000 people that needs water and sewer service, as well as police and fire protection. Saanich gets an annual grant in lieu of property taxes of $120,000 for UVic, enough to cover wages and benefits for one cop and maybe some gas money. Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, co-chair of the UBCM committee, is concerned about new water and flood protection legislation the province is preparing to impose. His district and others like it have thousands
of kilometres of riverfront, with relatively few property owners. Interior communities also want BC Hydro to pay something for power lines, as is now being done with some aboriginal territories. Local politicians will be expecting a sympathetic ear from the new version of the B.C. Liberal government. Former Quesnel councillor Coralee Oakes is the new community, sport and cultural development minister, with direct responsibility for local government issues. And one of the original members of this UBCM committee was former Langley City mayor Peter Fassbender, who is now minister of education.

Quick response earns praise At about 6 a.m. this morning, I woke up to a loud banging on my door. I went to the door and saw a man standing there. He said the cedar trees behind my home were on fire; did I have a hose? He said he was on his way to work when he saw the flames. He was on Vedder Road. He parked his vehicle and jumped over the fence and came to my door to warn me. We ran into the back yard, he grabbed the hose, I turned on the water and he started spraying the flames. There seemed to be more flames coming from the other side, as there were two rows of trees. Flames were climbing the first row of trees on the far side and were burning through the bark mulch to my trees. The flames were high and it was
scary. I was worried about a large cedar tree in my yard; the branches were about four feet away from the flames and the cedar tree was about six feet from my back door. He pushed the hose over my trees that were taller than he was, then he climbed the neighbour’s fence and dove head first over the trees and a fence so he could get more water to the flames. I asked if he was all right and he said yes, but I think he may have been a little scratched up. He sprayed the trees as I spotted for embers. By the time the fire department arrived the fire looked like it was out. The fire fighters poured on extra water to be sure all the flames and embers were completely out. I was shaken to think what
could have happened if this brave man hadn’t seen the fire and stopped to help. The fire could have spread and caused my tall cedar tree to burn and possibly spread to my home – all because of a smouldering cigarette butt. Thank goodness for such a caring person. I believe his quick thinking and heroic actions kept what could have been a serious situation to a minimum. I was not able to get his name in all the excitement. He was on one side of the trees and I was on the other side. One of the fire fighters asked his name, but I couldn’t hear it above the noise. Whoever you are, I am so grateful for your quick, heroic actions. Thank you so much! Dianne Knight, Chilliwack
Students today
Wheelchair fee ‘brutal, unkind, savage’
How times have changed! Forty-eight years ago I attended UBC, tuition $420. We rented a house for $90, with suite in it, sub-let for $45. I attended class four days a week. I worked second shift in a personnel office, wage $2.15/hr. (We made sections for the Port Mann bridge!) My wife and I had four kids, one still at home. I started teaching locally(Chilliwack) for $4,400 annually and paid off my student loan two years later. I know that this scenario today sounds like a fairy tale. My advice--get out of the city where living costs are more manageable. Several colleges are available . Between terms go to Alberta, or wherever there is employment. You can make it work. Also choose a career where your training can give you the lifestyle you want. When I was looking for employment, the Province had three pages of Teachers Wanted every spring. Today, one or two openings, and those for specialists. Tuition and living costs have far out-paced ability to afford. But there are always options.
Government keeps telling us taxpayers that they need to offer good management employees a substantial remittance package to attract and retain exceptionally qualified people. That lie is highlighted in spades by the thoughtless, heartless, nasty, stupid decision to charge senior citizens who need a wheel chair. I have difficulty with the fact good management would contemplate charging disabled seniors for wheel chairs but to actually follow through with such brutal, unkind, savage behaviour is not good management. It would appear that over paid management loses their humanity and common sense. I demand you stop this insane coldhearted senior abuse immediately. If funds are that tight get rid of just one of the blotted management at the Fraser Health Authority.

B.C. legislature not expected to be recalled until spring Liberal government. “The house sat through the summer in the aftermath of the election, and the government wants to take the time to prepare for a robust spring legislative session,” de Jong told reporters Tuesday. After a brief session to table a pre-election budget in February, the government adjourned in March to begin the campaign, then recalled the legislature in July to debate the budget and ministry spending estimates. Meeting those minimum requirements took 36 sitting days. NDP house leader John Horgan said Premier Christy Clark apparently prefers “running the government out of a Vancouver office building,” with an agenda almost entirely devoted to liquefied natural gas exports to Asia. Even if the government isn’t ready to present its taxation plan for LNG, there are issues such as power and water use and greenhouse gas emissions that should be debated, Horgan said. De Jong said he hopes to have a gas export tax plan ready for public view by the end of 2013. Barring an emergency session, the legislature will resume next February with a throne speech describing the government’s priorities and a new budget for 2013-14.

FVRD’s newest Solid Waste Management Plan, set to be finalized in 2014, includes a more aggressive ‘Zero Waste’ strategy, which involves removing considerably more recyclable material from the waste stream with cost-effective, readily available technology. On the proposal to build a second incinerator, Chair Gaetz said: “Burning garbage simply doesn’t make sense. We know that there are cheaper, greener, and more energy efficient approaches to waste management.” FVRD favours what they call “maximized” waste reduction, meaning more jobs, and less waste to the landfill, and protection of the sensitive airshed. “The FVRD believes we have a responsibility to our citizens and our environment to maximize recycling and recovery efforts in the region, and to think beyond burning garbage.” Some alternatives being discussed by FVRD are at: www. facebook.com/airqualitymatters According to Metro, sources of cadmium in the waste stream are thought to have increased in recent years. Household batteries are the main source,

particularly rechargeable batteries, including e-device batteries. A much smaller fraction likely comes from plastics. Metro officials say they intend to further study cadmium sources in the waste stream and to work with Covanta to ensure the treatment of bottom ash to neutralize metals is effective. --with files from Jeff Nagel jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

A fun fitness challenge
Over the next two seasons, when the weather turns cooler and wetter with shorter hours of daylight, wouldn’t it be wonderful to brighten up your patio with some great colour? Enhancing our patios with colourful containers is easier than you may think. You just need a different strategy for fall and winter. First: the containers. Terracotta in our climate is not the best for winter. Well fired, quality pots with a lacquer finish are usually fine, but most inexpensive clay absorbs moisture and is more susceptible to cracking and chipping in winter. Well fired ceramics are fine as are zinc, resin and well made plastic containers. As a rule of thumb, the larger the container, the better the plants do, simply because of the larger soil mass. For a nicer look, try grouping the planters together and if you can, varying the heights. Soil is a key issue in fall and winter. Open,
porous, well drained soil is a must. Regular potting soils hold too much moisture that tends to rot roots. Your best bet is to get a quality potting soil and add a third measure of bark mulch. Brian This is MINTER essentially a nursery mix which is ideal for all fall and winter plants. Most hardy plants will thrive in containers over winter and with cooler temperatures will need minimal maintenance. They will, however, need to be kept moist, especially if the containers are under eaves. The main winter issue is the degree of cold temperatures. Hardy plants in winter containers will do nicely down to about -8°C. Lower than that, they need protection. The easiest shelter is to simply create a protected area that is insu-
lated properly to keep the containers out of severely cold winds and deep freeze conditions. On patios, it is easy to wrap insulating materials, like fibreglass, around the pots and bubble poly around that to keep the fibreglass dry. As soon as the worst of the cold is over, simply store these

py – which finally helped her to learn to sit up when she was three,” says her mom Tanya. “They also paid for a special, enclosed bed so she doesn’t fall out. Without their support, I don’t know what I would have done”. Destiny is thrilled to be part of the Kids Coin Drive for Variety for the third year in a row. She has done a tremendous job over the years, getting her friends and family – especially her grandpa – to help her fundraise. “Destiny and our other Coin Kid champions around BC are inspiring a spirit of support and philanthropy,” says Bernice Scholten, Variety’s executive director. “The Coin Drive campaign is an example of the power of families helping families.” Since its inception 10 years ago, this provincewide fundraiser that has raised $1.8 million for children in BC who have special needs. Seventeen kids from 13 communities, including five cities in the Lower Mainland, are participating in this year’s campaign. From now until Oct. 31, IGA stores, Marketplace IGA locations and Bank of Montreal branches across the province will display the iconic coin boxes featuring Heartly, Variety’s mascot, and ask customers to support the fundraiser by donating loose change. Proceeds go towards helping children who have special needs and their families with grants for things like emergency transportation costs to out-of-community hospitals, expensive medications, mobility and communication devices, and therapeutic programs to give them the same chances in life as other children. To support Destiny, go to variety.bc.ca/coindrive and navigate to her page. You can also contact Louise Duffy, Event Coordinator, at louise. duffy@variety.bc.ca or call 604.320.0505 ext. 223.

UFV to host Indian Residential School Day of Learning Regular classes are being replaced with something quite different at the University of the Fraser Valley on Wednesday, September 18. The university has transformed its curriculum for that day, so that students, along with the rest of the campus community, can gather together for the Indian Residential School Day of Learning. The day-long collection of learning events, on-going displays, and interactive activities is being held in conjunction with the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) national event in Vancouver, which runs Sept. 18–21.

The Commission’s website notes that the TRC hopes to guide and inspire First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples and Canadians in a process of truth and healing leading toward reconciliation and renewed relationships based on mutual understanding and respect. A slogan that explains the motivation behind the TRC states that the process is “for the child taken; for the parent left behind.” UFV wants to give all students and employees the chance to learn more about this aspect of Canadian history and how it still impacts

children were compelled to attend the 130 residential schools across the country, two of which — Coqualeetza and St. Mary’s — were located in the Fraser Valley. More than 150,000 children were placed in these schools over the more than 100 years that they existed; 80,000 are thought to be still living today. Much information has come out over the past few decades about the mental, emotional, physical, and sexual abuse that took place within these schools. Even children who did not experience direct abuse were affected by being wrenched from their family and home community at a young age. Peter Geller, UFV vice-provost and associate VP academic, says that the goals of the day include raising awareness of the two residential schools that operated in the Fraser Valley (St. Mary’s in Mission, and Coqualeetza in Chilliwack), and the legacy of the experiences in these schools; and promoting knowledge of and respect for Aboriginal history, language, culture, values, and Indigenous ways of knowing in relation to the Indian Residential School experience, and related contemporary issues.

Studies. She is helping to organize events for the September 18 day of learning, including the opening and end-of-day ceremonies, and two of the workshops. She is pleased to see the entire university turning its attention to the legacy of residential schools. “There is a misconception out there that this is only First Nations history. It is part of Canadian history. All Canadians have a responsibility to learn about what happened in the residential schools. Doing so will help the general population understand First Nations people better,” she says. “There are still a lot of misconceptions, negativity, and hostility towards First Nations people. This is a positive step towards building a more authentic relationship. When we understand each other better we can move forward together.” The residential school experience had a profound effect on indigenous people in Canada. The government-funded, church-run residential schools were set up to eliminate parental involvement in the intellectual, cultural, and spiritual development of Aboriginal children. The system was active from the 1870s through the end of the 20th century. Generations of Aboriginal

He has more than 80 film and television credits and is the improv teacher at the world
renowned Vancouver Film School. Actors joining him for the evening performance will be Graeme Duffy and Nathan Clark.

The play opens with two “Hollywood Indians” sitting on a bench. Staged readings of Joseph Dandurand’s play, Please Do Not Touch The Indians, will be presented at the end of the month at the Stó:lo Resource Centre as part of Culture Days. Throughout the play by the Kwantlen First Nation playwright, stereotypical tourists, fascinated with these figures, pose and take photos with them. When the tourists leave, however, Dandurand shows the audience another reality, where the dreamworld of these characters are more fully revealed. In this world, Sister Coyote, Mister Wolf, and Brother Raven tell their fantastic, moving, satirical, and beautiful stories, showing how they came into existence. It’s also about how first contact and colonization changed their lives in painful ways. “…the play reads from beginning to end like a fluid and intemperate dream, moving from past to present, from metaphorical to historical, from Continued: STO:LO/ p26

Art show hopes to promote better understanding Cor nerstone Christian Reformed Church located at 9800 McNaught Road is hosting an art exhibit
entitled Kisemanito Pakitinasuwin (The Creator’s Sacrifice). The exhibit consists of a series of 12 paintings by
Ovide Bighetty, a selftaught Cree artist originally from Pukatawagan First Nation located in nor thwester n
Manitoba. The artist has used native Cree symbolism in the style he calls “Woodlands style” to recreate the story
of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Applying acrylic on canvas he has used vibrant colours each with their
own significance in telling the story. Cornerstone is hosting the exhibit to challenge its members to
reflect on their relationship and attitudes toward their native neighbours. The exhibit will be in Chilliwack from September 25 through October 20. The church is planning a series of sermons and small group activities intended on encouraging and helping the people of the church develop (reform) their relationship with the native community. Native elders have been requested to be involved in various activities both during Sunday services and activities planned for the time of the exhibit. Special events include: • September 27 – special welcoming ceremony conducted by native elders • October 2 – lingering impact of residential schools on native communities • October 9 – blanket exercise • October 16 – special concert featuring Cheryl Bear, native artist Each of these events is scheduled to start at 7:00 p.m. The community is invited to participate in these activities and to view the exhibit during the weeks that it is displayed in the church. Resource materials will be available to help in viewing the paintings. The exhibit is open week days between September 30 through October 18, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. Special arrangements for viewing can be made by contacting the church office. For more information contact Cornerstone CRC at 604-792-2517. or chair of the planning committee, John Vanderhoek, at 604-8470910. Further information and a list of events will be available on the church’s website www. cornerstonecrc.ca.

home t a hy t l a e Helpi ng people eat h John lives alone, but still sets his kitchen table and waits. Five days a week, just before noon, a friendly Meals on Wheels volunteer delivers a nutritious hot meal right to his door. With a wistful smile, he recalls, “I can remember the meatloaf and gravy my wife Betty would cook; this comes pretty close.â€? John is 82 and seldom leaves his home. A recent heart attack and constant hip pain make getting out and about difficult. Family photos are all around his apartment and he cherishes those memories. He knows his daughter and grandchildren love him, but live too far away to visit very often. John is one of many individuals in Chilliwack who rely on Meals on Wheels to help him stay in the familiar surroundings of his own home. John’s family also feels a sense of relief knowing someone is watching out for him. Hot or frozen meals are delivered  Monday through Friday to people who, have difficulty making their own meals due to age, illness or disability. Meal includes entrĂŠe, soup or salad, and a small dessert at a reasonable cost. Volunteer opportunities are available.
Dogs line up to take part in ‘bobbing for wieners’ during the SPCA’s annual Paws for a Cause fundraiser on Sunday, Sept. 8 at Fairfield Island Park. A total of 96 dogs were in attendance, and about 200 people. The local SPCA raised nearly $40,000 from this year’s campaign. SUBMITTED PHOTO

sion can be way more fun! The key to making a 10-minute cardio session extremely effective is to increase the intensity. If you can talk, you’re probably not working hard enough. Short bursts of high intensity exercise will boost your metabolism and tone your muscles more effectively than steady state exercise at a lower heart rate. If you’re new to exercise altogether, it’s wise to start slow (at a pace at which you can carry on a conversation) and build over two to three months. However if you’ve been working out for a while, and have no contraindications to high intensity training, it may be time to pick up the pace- and reduce your time on the treadmill. I’ve put together three simple and effective 10-minute workouts you can try. If you’re not already warmed up, spend 2-5 additional minutes easing into your workout. End each workout by warming down for a few minutes. 1. 1 minute blasts. Do this workout on a cardio machine, or outdoors on foot or bike. 1 minute: moderate effort 1 minute: pick up the pace. You should be breathing heavily and definitely NOT be able to talk. Repeat for a total of 5 times. Try to increase the intensity of the hard intervals throughout the entire workout (for example, run
faster, or increase your RPM on the bike). 2. 30-second Ascents. Do this workout on a cardio machine, or outdoors on foot or bike. 30 seconds: Easy to moderate 30 seconds: Hard 30 seconds: Very Hard 30 seconds: Very very hard (You can do it!) Repeat for a total of 5 times. 3. Full Body Burn Warm up: 25-50 Jumping Jacks 30 seconds High knee running or marching 30 seconds Squats or squat jumps 30 seconds High knee running or marching 30 seconds Forward lunges or lunge jumps 30 seconds High knee running or marching 30 seconds Push-ups (knees, toes or on the wall) 30 seconds High knee running or marching 30 seconds Bicycle crunches (for abdominals) 30 seconds High knee running or marching 30 seconds Burpees (or squats) Repeat for a total of 2 rounds.
If you have 10 minutes, you have time for to fit in your cardio training. If you don’t have 10 minutes, find the time. You are worth it- and so are the results!

Lack of time is the most common barrier to fitting in exercise. At Ascend, we recommend that our clients fit in at least three cardiovascular training sessions per week in addition to their workout sessions with us. “I can swim twice a week while my kids are in lessons, and I do the stairs on Friday mornings… so anything else will be a bonus,” she reasoned. I replied “can you stay and do an extra 10 minutes right now?” Of course she could- and she did. After all, what’s 10 minutes?

Veteran blueliner back with Chiefs
Chilliwack Chiefs general manager Harvey Smyl wasted no time identifying and addressing the problem of a leaky defence. After watching his team surrender an obsene
amount of shots and scoring chances in a 6-1 loss to Powell River and 1-1 tie with Vernon, the Chiefs boss went out Monday and reaquired a dependable D-man. Shay Laurent is back, picked up from the Coquitlam Express in exchange for future considerations. The 20 year old, known as ShayBear to former captain David Thompson, suited up for 110 games over two regular seasons with the Chiefs. He had 33 points and 121 penalty minutes dur-
ing the 2011-12 and 201213 campaigns. Laurent was sent to Coquitlam in the offseason to complete the trade deadline deal that brought Phil Zielonka to Chilliwack. Garrett Forster and Ben Isreal also went to the Express in that trade, but Smyl was particularly sad to include Laurent. He’s happy now to have him back. “Shay is the true definition of a Chilliwack Chief,” Smyl said. “He works hard, cares a lot about his teammates, never complains and is very humble.”
As for Laurent, the Alberta native is thrilled to return to the Chiefs. “I want to thank Barry Wolff and the Coquitlam Express for providing me the opportunity to go back to Chilliwack for my final season of junior hockey,” he said. “My heart has always been with the Chiefs and I can’t wait to rejoin the club.” Laurent’s arrival comes with a cost. The team had to release 17-year-old defenceman Michael Wilms. Get Chiefs into at chilliwackchiefs.net
Former Chilliwack Bruin Ryan Howse may be done with hockey after failing to report to the Calgary Flames prospect camp. The 22-year-old has now been suspended by the National Hockey League club. Howse had a poor year in the minors last year, posting just one point in 20 games with the American Hockey League’s Abbotsford Heat.

With 13 new faces in the Chilliwack Chiefs lineup, 12 of whom were playing their first game at the junior A level, some early season struggles are to be expected. That’s exactly what we saw in Saturday’s 6-1 loss to Powell River which was one of those games you know each player wants to put behind them in a hurry. Fortunately, they didn’t have long to dwell on that game as they played again the next night. They had the chance to wipe Saturday’s effort from everyone’s memory with a better effort against an even tougher opponent, the Vernon Vipers. V ipers. And that’s just what they did. They earned a 1-1 tie, and consider the first character test of the season passed with w ith flying colors. Two players who did not play the night before were w ere key contributors. Goaltender L yndon Stanwood, who struggled through the pre-season, earned the game’s first star by stopping 42 shots. Rookie forward Kurt Black, a healthy scratch the previous night, scored the tying goal with just under seven minutes left in the third period. On Tuesday, the Chiefs took a step to reduce their level of inexperience when they reacquired defenseman Shay Laurent from the Coquitlam Express. Shay knows what it takes to be a Chief and his presence on the team will make
the transition to this level much easier for all the new w players. Credit Express head coach Barry Wolff forr helping make this happen for Shay. It will be a few weeks before we see the Chiefs on home ice again. They are in Prince George for a pair of games against the Spruce Kings this weekend before getting two weeks off. This trip is well timed as it will give the team some much needed time to get to know each other better. The Spruce Kings have lost two straightt to start the season so you know they’ll be ornery this weekend. The Chiefs return to home ice Sept. 28, debuting new jerseys against Prince George. There will be lots happening that night and you’ll hear more about it as we gett closer to the game. But I can tell you that a special guestt will be BC Lions general manager Wally Buono, who will sign autographs during the first intermission. A huge thank you to Chiefs volunteers who once again stepped up in a big way last weekend. There were 16 teams in town to play 16 games in just over 50 hours at the Bauer BCHL Showcase, and without the efforts of the volunteers it would not have worked out as well as itt did. I can tell you that the BCHL executive was veryy impressed as well. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Sports Hot-shooting Highlanders top Cascades
Dan Kinvig, Black Press The University of the Fraser Valley men’s basketball team gave the University of CaliforniaRiverside Highlanders all they could handle in the first half of
Monday’s exhibition game, only to watch the visiting NCAA Div. 1 squad step on the accelerator after the break. After centre Jasper Moedt banked in a three-pointer to beat the second-quarter buzzer, the Cascades were within a point of the Highlanders at 33-32. But the UC-Riverside offence hit high gear in the second half – after shooting just 33.3 per cent over the first 20 minutes, they knocked down 57.6 per cent of their shots the rest of

● The bantam Giants dropped a 31-7 decision to the Langley Mustangs. Chilliwack’s lone major came on a 60 yard drive in the fourth quarter, capped off by a three yard Cam Lampart run. Trey Issac added the convert. Tailback Karan Deol was another offensive star. The Giants D started strong but wore down as the time-ofpossession stat swung in favour of Langley. Lampart was solid at linebacker alongside Austin Penner. Emerson Harvey and Chris Derksen did good work on the defensive line. The bantams have a Saturday night rematch with Langley at Townsend Park (6 p.m.). ● The junior bantam Giants dropped to 0-2

with a 14-0 loss to the Abbotsford White Falcons. The only TD the Chilliwack defence allowed came off a fluke catch. The other Abby major came off a fumble recovery. The vaunted Falcon sweep was thwarted by Giant defensive backs Austin Kardux and Josh Roos. Defensive linemen Jaiden Klassen, Justin Crooks and Tommy Helget shut down the inside run, with linebackers Nick Butler and Dustin Wutzke adding a couple sacks. Running backs Haden Oraschuk and Helaman Ochoa moved the ball well, and quarterback Colin Campbell connected several times with receiver Mattias Chand. The Giants face Langley Saturday. ● The peewee blue Giants lost their first game of the season, falling 13-12 to the Meadow
Ridge Gold Knights. The Giants trailed 13-6 with two minutes left in the game when Kurtis Flynn scored a touchdown. But Chilliwack failed on the convert that would have tied the game. The other Giant major came on a Flynn to Kaleb Spaner TD toss. Grayson Frick, Kaleb Reemeyer and Jaxson Wilkins led the Chilliwack defence. The Giants travel to Mission this weekend. ● The peewee Red Giants fell 13-12 to the Meadow Ridge Blue Knights in another lastsecond thriller. Chilliwack opened the game with some trickery, with Colman Hughes taking a reverse 70 yards to paydirt. Tied 6-6 in the third quarter, Chilliwack’s offensive line took over and Jackson Saunders plowed into the endzone to give the Giants a 12-7 lead.
But Meadow Ridge got the ball back in the final minute. Starting from the Chilliwack 40, they drove to the winning major. The Giants were led on defence by lineman Mason Murphy, and on offence by linemen Jacob and Braeden Dyck. ● The atom White Giants lost in a shootout, falling 30-20 on the road to Meadow Ridge. Chilliwack’s offensive line paved the way for huge gains by Austin Wegener. Vincent Braunaur ran for two TDs and speedster Jaxon Visser burned down the sideline for the third Chilliwack major. The Giants D was tenacious, with Tayor Both, Dayton Rogers and Braunaur recording sacks. Trent Cote had a handful of touchdown saving tackles. On one series, Meadow Ridge had the
ball first-and-goal at the three yard line, and the Chilliwack defence pushed them back to the 30. ● The atom Red Giants fell to 1-1 with a 27-14 loss to Meadow Ridge. Jesse Reddick led a tough defence, returning a Meadow Ridge fumble for one Chilliwack TD. The Red Giants visit Mission this weekend. ● The atom Blue Giants were blanked by the Abbotsford Falcons, losing 36-0. Travis Richley and Raiden Mastin were two-way stars. Nathan Pickles had a great showing at cornerback, producing one quarterback sack and several tackles for a loss. Running backs DJ Stephens and Aiden Saunders kept drives alive with punishing runs. The Blue Giants face Meadow Ridge on Saturday.
Huskers seek upset win as Sun pay a visit Mired in a three game losing streak, the Valley Huskers tackle a tough opponent Saturday afternoon at the newly turfed Exhibition Stadium. The Okanagan Sun are in town for a BC Football Conference
clash, as the Huskers (2-3-1) embark on the stretch run of death. Over the next four weeks, they’ll face the Sun (4-2) twice. The other two weeks will pit them against the defending Cullen Cup champion Langley
Rams, who lead the league at 5-1. “It’s a very tough stretch for us,” Huskers head coach Tyson St. James admitted. “We’ll need to execute perfectly and avoid dumb penalties, and I expect to get at least one win
out of this.” Of ficially, the Huskers have beaten the Sun this season, taking a 1-0 decision Aug. 7. On the field, the score favoured the Sun 65-10. But, the Sun dressed a player who
was property of the Hamilton Hurricanes of the Ontario Football Conference. He was ineligible. The Sun forfeited. Kickoff Saturday is 1 p.m. See bcjuniorfootball. ca for more.

Brandon Tooke led the D, recording one fumble recovery and one quarterback sack. Paul Anghel and Raphael Olivares also had QB sacks.

It is with great sadness I announce the passing of Linda on Aug 14, 2013. Linda passed away peacefully at Cascades Hospice in Chilliwack, B.C. after a courageous 10 year battle with liver disease and its complications. Linda will be greatly missed by her husband of 10 years, William, and their loyal companion Buddy the dog. She was born in Petit Paquetuill, New Brunswick on July 9, 1945 into a proud Acadian family. Linda moved to BC in the late 60’s and worked for BCAA for 18 years. She later opened her own small antique store in Vancouver with her husband William. We moved to Hope, BC to give her a small town/home town feel as she battled the disease. Linda still kept upbeat and always looked on the bright side of life even while in pain. When she became too ill to work her passion for life was found with gardening and painting. Linda loved to do oil on canvas painting and donated some of her works to local service groups for their charity auctions. She loved to be in the garden and work with her flower beds. Linda loved flea markets and garage sales. Linda had a quirky sense of humour and was a compassionate and loving person. Linda fought a valiant battle the last 6 months of her life. In July, Linda was deemed palliative and began to lose the battle she fought so strongly. She was moved to Cascade Hospice at the end of July where she finally felt at rest. With the aid and care of the wonderful staff and volunteers, Linda passed peacefully to a place where there is no more pain - A place where we will meet again someday and all the struggles and sorrows will feel like a moment in time. I would like to thank the wonderful support network we had during this terrible time: MaryAnn and John of Hope and their families; the staff at Cascade Hospice, especially Karen; the doctors and nurses at Fraser Canyon Hospital in Hope BC and thank you Pastor Harold for everything. At Linda’s request no funeral service will be held. Donations to the Canadian Cancer Society or the Canadian Liver Foundation are greatly appreciated. A Celebration of Life will he held at a later date. I did not lose my wife, But simply will have to wait until we are together again in the hereafter. I know she will be looking down on me and I will still be looking up to my angel on earth who is now my angel in Heaven. Rest now - Sweetheart ~ William
LIPINSKI, Karin Luise May 2nd 1944 August 27th 2013 It is with overwhelming sadness we announce the passing of Karin, loving wife and mother. Karin was born in Aschaffenburg, Germany before starting her new life in Canada. Along side her husband Fredo, she ventured into many different businesses and dreams. Karin loved to garden, walk the many wonderful local trails and take camping trips with her close friends. Her other passion for so many years was vacationing down South in California where she met so many amazing people that she often referred to as her “ second family“. She looked so forward to getting back, and was deeply saddened when she realized she would not be able to. During her sickness she was in awe at the outpouring of love she received from that second family. Karin is survived by her loving husband Fredo; her sons Michael (Jennifer) and Sascha (Julie) and Grandchildren Phoenix, William and Chrystal. Her brother Tony and sisters Ilse, Betty, Nora and Gerda. Special thank you to Dr. Nyirenda who Karin always thought so much of. Our family can not thank you enough. Also special thank you to Dr. Bull, Amanda and Tracy from palliative care. Thanks also to Dr. Zulfiqar. “ Your pain is finally over” An intimate gathering remembering Karin will be held on Sunday, September 22nd at 2:00 pm at the Yarrow Community Grand Hall 4670 Community St., Yarrow. For anyone who would like to attend. Dress to be casual. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to The Canadian Cancer Society or to Chilliwack Hospice Society.

Brandon passed away suddenly on Sunday, September 8th, 2013 in Chilliwack BC at age 29. He was born January 15th, 1984, at Chilliwack General Hospital. Brandon is survived by his father Allan Werry, mother Marie (Ron) Reynen, sister Shannon (Mark) Gorst, grandmothers Theresa Whitney and Dorothy Werry, as well as many aunts, uncles, and cousins. He was predeceased by his grandfathers, Earl Werry and Alton Whitney. As a child, Brandon enjoyed participating in competitive sports and received numerous medals in his favorite, baseball. He was an amazing and talented artist as well as an avid reader. Enthusiastic about the outdoors, he could hardly wait for the next family camping excursion or fishing trip. Brandon loved his dog Marty, teasing his big sister Shannon, loved when his mom would read to him at night, and most of all, spending time with his dad. “God saw he was getting tired and the cure was not to be. So he whispered, “Come with Me.” With tearful hearts we watched him fade away. Although we loved him dearly, we could not make him stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.” A memorial service will be held on Tuesday, September 17th, 2013, 2:00pm at Henderson’s Funeral Home 45901 Victoria Avenue, Chilliwack BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Canadian Mental Health Association.
