New FN health authority the first of its kind
■ M UDDY M AYHEM
Jennifer Feinberg The Progress
The newly activated First Nations Health Authority can be seen the “next natural step” in the evolution of health service delivery for B.C. aboriginals, said Grand Chief Doug Kelly of Sto:lo Tribal Council. Some programs delivered to aboriginals in B.C. that were a Health Canada responsibility last week, now fall under the aegis of the newly minted First Nations Health Authority. As chair of the First Nations Health Council, Grand Chief Kelly has a mandate for advocacy and reciprocal accountability for FNHA, and as such has been front and centre as they complete a formal transfer on Oct. 1, of programs, resources, staff, assets and more. “What we achieved today is elevating the work that began many years ago,” he said Tuesday in a phone interview with The Progress. “We have proven we could take on the responsibilities that were once Health Canada’s, and that we could blend the best of two worlds, the best of modern medicine and the best of our cultural traditions and ceremonies.” “We knew that what we did locally we could do regionally, and what we did regionally we could do right across the province.” The FNHA, as a result of a signed agreement, will take on delivery of health programs and services in B.C. to aboriginals living on-reserve and off. It’s everything from primary care to mental health and addictions as well as environmental health and research, and they’ll be partnering with the province as well. It’s nothing new for Sto:lo communities, but it’s quite a feat to see it clear across the province, said Kelly.
Hospital support workers reach new contracts HEU demanded pay raises from multinational contractors Jeff Nagel Black Press Two groups of Lower Mainland hospital workers have now reached new tentative agreements with private firms that perform housekeeping for health authorities. A four-year deal was reached late Tuesday with U.S.-based Aramark, whose 1,300 employees handle housekeeping at 33 facilities in Vancouver Coastal and Fraser Health. The Fraser sites include Royal Columbian,
Burnaby and Eagle Ridge hospitals. The Hospital Employees Union had staged a strike vote last week but had not yet begun job action. Most contracted housekeeping and dietary workers at Fraser Health facilities work for French multinational Sodexho, which reached an agreement with the HEU Sept. 15. Details have not been revealed pending ratification. Support workers at B.C. Women’s and Children’s Hospital, the B.C. Cancer Centre and several Vancouver Island facilities have conducted their own strike vote against multinational contractor Compass, with results slated for release Oct. 4. The HEU said the main issue in all three
sets of talks has been pay – it’s been two years since workers have had a raise. Hospital support workers who had been paid $18.50 an hour were fired in 2002 when the provincial government enabled widespread privatization by the health authorities to reduce costs. Firms like Sodexho took over with nonunion workers – often the same ones – and paid them $10 an hour. The HEU re-certified the non-union workers and negotiated contracts that brought pay back up to $15 an hour by 2011. The province was also forced to pay compensation to fired workers after the Supreme Court of Canada ruled the 2002 terminations were illegal.

UFV students push to extend shuttle bus service Alina Konevski Black Press Less than one month since the campus shuttle bus launched, University of the Fraser Valley students have agreed to return to referendum to significantly expand service. Already the new Campus Connector shuttle service completes over 1,200 passenger trips weekly through its two buses. In fact, it is so popular that the bus fills up at some point every day – especially the early morning services – and students are left stranded, according to Student Union Society president Shane
Potter. For example, there were 22 students turned away during the week Sept. 16–20, 2013. The Student Union Society will soon launch a referendum to fund one additional bus Monday to Thursday, later runs on Friday on existing buses, and start up a summer semester shuttle. Students already pay $6.75 fee annually for the Campus Connector. They will have to nearly triple that to $17.75 annually to fund the service expansion. “This call for more demand, it comes right out of the students. I get emailed, called, and Tweeted, and Facebooked, every single day
with students that are relying upon the service to get from one campus to another,” said Potter. He added that students from other municipalities, such as Langley and Surrey, are also arriving in Abbotsford and relying on the Campus Connector to get to the Chilliwack campus. According to Jody Gordon, vice-president of student services, it took Kwantlen Polytechnic University over 18 months to reach UFV’s ridership figures when Kwantlen introduced its own shuttle bus to move students between the Langley and Surrey campuses. UFV’s Campus Connector was approved as a one-year pilot proj-
ect by the university starting Sept. 3, 2013. If students support an expansion of service next month, that would be a strong message to the administration that students want to extend the shuttle service beyond its first year, said Gordon. Last week, the Fraser Valley Regional District green-lighted a BC Transit express bus to connect Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Langley potentially as early as Sept. 2014. The planned express bus will not have an immediate impact on the UFV shuttle. When an operational start date is confirmed, UFV will reassess its own shuttle service. “We have to make sure that
they’re able to provide a level of service that meets the demands of our students…There’s still a lot of uncertainty as to when it will start, what it will look like,” said Potter. Gordon echoed the sentiment on behalf of the university. “Staff and faculty are utilizing the shuttle service with the university’s contribution. I don’t see that staff and faculty will necessarily go and replace that with public transit, because this is a dedicated door-todoor service.” SUS member students will vote online in the final week of October on the proposal to expand the Campus Connector shuttle service.
Jarvis vies for vacant school board seat
Kyle Hislop, with Ann Davis Transition Society board chair Kathy Clement, is hiking up Teapot Hill 100 times in 100 days to raise funds for ADTS. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Hundred hikes coming to an end Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Kyle Hislop of Chilliwack is about to wrap up 100 hikes in 100 days on Teapot Hill to help support the Ann Davis Transition Society. It’s a special fundraiser to help “put abuse out of commission,” he said. “I wanted to do something memorable that would be worthy of people’s donations.” Hiking Teapot 100 times was a unique way for the local realtor to celebrate and participate in Royal Lepage’s 100th anniversary through the Royal Lepage Shelter Foundation. “Because this is a national event, I wanted something that would showcase the most

beautiful place in the world, and nothing is more amazing than our mountains.” An avid Chilliwack hiker, Hislop started doing Teapot Hill in early July and is set to wrap up the 100 completed hikes in 100 days with the finale, next week on Oct. 9. It takes him about 40 minutes to climb from the trailhead to the summit, and in order to do all 100 hikes he’s had to do the distance four times in one go on more than one occasion. “That takes me about three hours,” he said. All the extra hiking has seen him drop 10 lbs and increase his energy level and his fitness. He’s happy the donations

have been trickling in. “I’ve reached my goal of $1000,” he said, “and I am so pleased by the support.” But he’s still hoping for an even more impressive total by next week. Ann Davis has been Royal Lepage’s main local charity, and the fundraiser has allowed him to heighten awareness about Canadian women and children who have experienced domestic violence and are living in shelters. “We’re so grateful for the 100 Hikes effort that Kyle has undertaken,” said ADTS board chair Kathy Clement. “Ann Davis is extremely proud to be the charity of choice for this fantastic endeavour.” Anyone is still welcome to
make a tax deductible donation to the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, until Oct. 9, and 100% of the funds will go toward supporting women and children at the ADTS Transition House. “It will be a challenge, but each step will remind me of the challenges faced each day by women and children living with abuse,” he wrote at the outset on his website. “Will you join me in my campaign to put abuse out of commission?” They will issue tax receipts in February 2014.

Karen Jarvis has stepped into the ring for the upcoming Chilliwack school trustee byelection. Jarvis, who placed 11th in the 2011 election with 1,562 votes, announced her intentions Monday morning. “The 2011 election was a training session,” she said in a press release. Since the 2011 election, Jar vis has attended ever y school board meeting. She believes that’s helped her better understand the processes and decisions of the board of education. “It shows people that I am truly investing in public education and specifically education in our school district,” she said. Jarvis is campaigning for better special education practices, wanting to ensure recommendations made by the special education review are fulfilled. She would also like to see the school district look for alternative ways of dealing with the $700,000 CUPE shortfall – other than cutting staff. “We can’t have a review that says we needmore EA’s with specific training to improve education for those with special needs and then in the next breath cut EA’s,” she said. “Financial responsibility is an absolute at all times especially when budgets are tight.” As well, Jarvis is advocating for more transparency of trustee finances and time. Jarvis joins Dan Coulter, who announced he’d be in the trustee race a week and a half ago. The byelection, to replace Louise Piper who resigned for undisclosed medical reasons, is on Nov. 30.

Community support helps fund Sally Ann truck

READ! RETURN ! BUY!
Katie Bartel The Progress The Chilliwack community has once again stepped up in support of the Salvation Army. The organization was in need of a replacement heavy duty truck for its food, clothing and emergency supply deliveries. The old truck had seen better days. It was no longer reliable and was not serving the Salvation Army to the needs it required. “The old, one-ton truck was costing us a lot of money to keep on the road,� said Ian Pratt, community ministries director for Chilliwack Salvation Army. With the help of the Chilliwack Chiefs, Sardis Kiwanis Club, Chilliwack Elks Club, Chilliwack Rotary, Farm Credit Canada, Envision Credit Union, and Telus, Salvation Army now has a new truck. And what a truck it is. At a cost of nearly $100,000, the multipurpose truck can carry up to three tons, and has a refrigeration unit that complies with FoodSafe, and a tailgate that complies with WorkSafe. It’s helped create a more efficient operation by cutting down the number of trips needed and man hours required; has decreased the potential for injury; and is more fuel efficient than its predecessor. In acquiring this truck, “we didn’t have to use dollars from Salvation Army that we target for those in need,� said Pratt. The Salvation Army feeds over 30,000 people every year through the food bank, and distributes 7,000 hampers to the marginalized within the community. As well, 25,000 emergency food line visits are also made during the year. “Without community support like this, Salvation Army couldn’t do what we do in the community.�
Ian Pratt with Chilliwack Salvation Army stands by the new multi-use, three-ton truck that will be used to transport everything from charitable donations to food — non-perishable, refrigerated and frozen.

A missed opportunity It would be too easy to dismiss the concern raised by students who were expelled from their high school last week after admitting they smoked marijuana at an out-of-town soccer meet. “Serves ’em right.” “They had it coming.” “Do the crime, pay the fine.” And yet that trenchant response fails the student community, and denies school administrators the opportunity to use discretion in assessing and arbitrating student conduct. “Zero tolerance” is a popular phrase. It’s pulled out whenever we want to express our collective anger over behaviour we want changed. It demonstrates the kind of fortitude that plays well in a 10-second sound bite. But it is a blunt instrument that attempts to apply simple solutions to complicated issues. The students expelled from Sardis secondary last week offer a case in point. (Parents call for flexibility in punishment policy, Progress, Oct. 1.) Their parents agree there must be consequences. The teenagers will be punished at home, and they should be punished at school. What they question is an arbitrary expulsion, without consideration of mitigating factors so common in our own legal system: prior offenses, personal

character, opportunities for change. These are fundamental precepts of sentencing. Some may disagree with them, but those who do forget that courts are not there simply to exact punishment, but to educate and encourage rehabilitation. To be clear, the students were never caught smoking marijuana. They admitted to it later when confronted. They could have done what politicians and professional athletes have taught them over the years: deny, deny, deny. But they didn’t. They took responsibility for their stupidity and braced for the consequences. What they learned was that honesty matters little. And that’s the collateral implication of uncompromising policies. True, they provide a tidy response, and paint the world in convenient blacks and whites, regardless of the circumstance. What they fail to do, however, is offer the flexibility to craft solutions that can turn a bad decision by one into a lesson for many. What the students did was wrong. But the response was a surrendered opportunity, forced by a policy that needs changing. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress
B.C. V IEWS
Science is losing ground to superstition VICTORIA – From Stockholm to Sydney to Sicamous, September was a bad month for science. In Sweden, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change finally issued its widely leaked update on humancaused global warming. As expected, it downgraded predictions of temperature rise in the face of 15 years of measurements that show little or no average surface temperature increase. The official spin also went as expected. The revelation that more than a dozen computer prediction models have all more or less agreed, and all have been wrong, was played down. The IPCC went from “very likely” to “extremely likely” to affirm its belief in humancaused warming, even as its own core evidence went the other way. Again and again we are told that the vast majority of scientists believe in human-caused warming,
and those who don’t are labeled “skeptics” or even “deniers” with hidden agendas. The problem is, science isn’t supposed to be done by polls or popularity contests, or assertions of faith like those that greeted Galileo’s wild claim that Earth is not the centre of the solar system. Tom Before the angry FLETCHER mail starts to arrive, let me hasten to add I am not arguing for or against the theory of human-caused climate change. You can label me a “skeptic” as I view the temperature readings and the shifting theories advanced to explain them. Speaking of temperature data, David Suzuki had a problem with that at a TV town hall in Australia.
Polite, well-informed questions soon revealed that while Suzuki rails constantly about the horrors of global warming, he doesn’t actually know much about the latest science. As I’ve written before regarding his CBC-funded attacks on Canada’s oil and gas industry, Suzuki is not only behind on his homework, he resorts to cheap, sensational tricks to exaggerate and misrepresent hazards. His tactics are identical to the U.S.financed environment groups that obsessively target Canadian petroleum. As for his appearance on Australia’s public broadcaster, don’t take my word for it. Just Google “An Audience with David Suzuki” and watch the show for yourself. Back in B.C., local politicians gathered in Vancouver for their annual convention. One of the

most intense debates was over a call to the provincial government to declare B.C. “genetic engineering free.” The heart of this movement, which has resorted to vandalism in Europe, is hostility towards Monsanto’s “Roundup ready” seed. Speakers at the municipal convention warned of sinister “corporations” trying to contaminate and control our food supply for profit. The debate pitted hobby farmers against professionals. Peace region grain farmers said such a ban would put them out of business. Others pointed out that the province has no jurisdiction and that scientific decisions shouldn’t be influenced by emotion. The session ended with a classic pseudo-scientific claim. A woman who used to have a couple of bee boxes said someone’s bees died and there was a Roundup-ready canola field next door. Case closed.
The misguided “G.E.-free B.C.” motion was supported by a narrow majority. As it turns out, there are agricultural pesticides that may be harmful to bees. The David Suzuki Foundation is part of an effort to get one of them banned in Canada. The problem is, it’s not Roundup, and it’s got nothing to do with genetic engineering. They’re called “neonicotinoids,” because they’re similar to nicotine. Old sheep farmers may recall using a crude version: tobacco soaked in water to kill insects on sheep. It’s ironic that as the “information age” accelerates, our society, overwhelmed by conflicting messages, slips back towards superstition.

the school or his peers. With a generation of self entitled youth, I am now seeing a pattern. This is what is wrong with our society, certain people want others to be accountable until it is them or their child. For example, I’ve had several coworkers/ friends complain about getting traffic tickets lately for seat-belts, cell phone use, and speeding only to be blaming the police! These parents are no different. They want special treatment. Your child used drugs on a field trip, they weren’t the first, they
Board urged to change policy I am completely outraged that Sardis Secondary and the Chilliwack School District’s response to a student violating school policy would be to expel them.  This is an excessive and potentially life altering consequence.  While I completely agree that these students need negative consequences for their choices they more importantly require an opportunity to create positive change.  I hope this policy decision is revisited immediately.  It would have such a positive impact on everyone to see our school board revisit and change their policy decision which is essentially what we want these students to do. Please lead the way.  Tracy Gray
Schools need to be strict Re: Parents call for flexibility in punishment policy, Progress, Oct . 1. As if these kids didn’t know this was not acceptable!  Just how naive are you?  You are trusted by your school to go on these overnight (or even just one day) trips.  You are representing your school and home town. You are in Grade 12.  You know better!  So why should you be babied, and just have to go pick up a few cans or some other little community service job.  Maybe this will teach you a lesson for your future. So you got sent to a different school, are you going to mess up their reputation too? The school needs to be strict, or this kind of nonsense will continue all through life. Jane Lennox
aren’t going to be the last, let them suffer the consequences. That is called life. They can go to another school, they can do distance education and if they are truly gifted it won’t ruin their chances. By Grade 12 if it does ruin their chances then they weren’t that serious to begin with. It’s time to grow up and learn mommy and daddy can’t fix everything just because they think you are special. The problem is too much flexibility. Shawn Ohman
A draconian response To expel 10 Grade 12 students for smoking pot at a soccer game is the perfect example of the old boys club making sure that their draconian punishments ensure that laws that suit them, stay exactly as they are.  This punishment is excessive, heavy handed and does more harm to the community as a whole than to root out the real problem, lack of fundamental teaching and morality. There is no benefit at all to any one person involved, whatsoever. The only thing this punishment does is to reinforce bad leadership decisions on direction and punishment.  This bad decision takes no consideration of the eventual consequences of delaying a young person’s growth and ambitions to become healthy and prosperous citizens.  It only tries to reinforce the draconian methods  of the past so as to justify itself. Think about it, a group of teenagers sharing a joint, has the same or less consequence as a group of adults sharing a bottle of wine.

The problem is too much flexibility Re: Parents call for flexibility in punishment policy, Progress, Oct . 1. To the parents who believe expulsion is too harsh: You are part of the problem. As a parent I have taught my children to be accountable for their actions with the old saying, “you do the crime you do the time� and when my honor roll child was expelled last year for marijuana use, I did not go to battle for him. He had to go to another school and earn his way back. We taught him right from wrong and did not blame

Board encouraged to continue ‘zero tolerance’ I strongly commend the principal Mr. Diego Testa at Sardis secondary school for his disciplinary action on the students who were smoking marijuana at a school function. In my view the school district’s policy on this issue is correct and should continue to be enforced. A few points: 1. Smoking marijuana is illegal and so the kids broke the law and should be punished accordingly.Â
2. It is the parents’ responsibility to teach their kids values and make sure they understand what is expected of them in society, not the school’s responsibility. 3. You can be sure that this is not the first time these students used marijuana, but hopefully it will be the last time.  I have had a great deal of experience in dealing with pot users and drug and alcohol abuse. The abuse of these sub-
stances continues to be a devastating issue in our society so the earlier these kids learn that there has to be accountability for their illegal use of these substances then the better off they will be when they are out earning a living and paying taxes. Â I encourage the school board to not relax on the strictness of these rules and to continue with a no tolerance policy. Gary Johnson

Library Quiz Night marks a decade of Smarty Pants awards Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Excitement is building for the annual Quiz Night at the Chilliwack library on Friday, Oct. 25. “It’s the 10th anniversary of our Quiz Night this year, which is a big thing,” said Claire Bouchard, president of Friends of the Library. The Quiz Night is a popular fundraiser presented every fall by Friends of the Library, to help to pay for extras like equipment

and furniture at both Chilliwack and Sardis library branches of the Fraser Valley Regional Library. “Everybody likes to show off what they know,” Bouchard says. “Quiz night is always an entertaining community event with tons of laughter.” Last year the event raised $1,561 for the libraries. A large team of volunteers, up to a dozen people, gets the Quiz Night to-do list done. “A lot of work goes into it, and we couldn’t do it without our vol-
unteers,” she said. The trivia competition sees 14 or 15 teams of eight people each, answering five questions in 10 different trivia categories. The coveted prize for the winner is always the Smarty Pants Award, and organizers call it a night of “guaranteed fun.” Every participant walks away with a book as a door prize, and there are also fabulous gift basket draws, with $5 for 10 tickets. Quiz Night, Oct. 25, 7 p.m. tickets at the Chilliwack library for $13 each. 604-792-1941.

First Nations Health Authority aims to improve patient health HEALTH from Front Kelly will be responsible for ensuring the work meets the expectations of chiefs, health director and citizens. On the website the FNHA explains: “Why
a First Nations Health Authority? Statistically significant health disparities exist for First Nations people in B.C. and across Canada. The First Nations Health Authority aims to
reform the way health care is delivered to B.C. First Nations to close these gaps and improve health and well being.” And it continues: “B.C. First Nations, the province of B.C., and the government of
Canada have all determined that First Nations health disparities are no longer acceptable. A new relationship between these tripartite partners was forged and a series of precedentsetting agreements
led to the creation of a First Nations Health Authority.” Grand Chief Kelly saw the need for this kind of self-reliant service delivery when he was the youngest chief of Soowahlie First
Nation in the 1980s, in the early days of the Sto:lo Tribal Council. With First Nations communities seeking economic development opportunities through creation of land codes, and taxation, the take-

over of health service delivery is in a similar vein. “It’s important to observe that where First Nations governments are exercising control, there are better outcomes. When they design and deliver the programming, there are better outcomes.” How will the average Sto:lo in Chilliwack notice the transfer? “Initially we don’t want them to notice. It will be a seamless transfer with no disruption or minimal disruption in service. But in the coming months we want to transform programs and make significant improvements. It’s about getting access to primary care and a family doctor, even for people in rural and remote communities. He knew about the challenges rurally, but Kelly said he was surprised to learn that many First Nations people living in greater Vancouver did not have access to a family doctor. Better access means better care. ‘”The most expensive kind of health care anyone can get is inside the emergency room of the local hospital, and that’s where many are going, so we’ll make certain to move to a better form of care, and access to that care.” The goal is to produce better outcomes. So what will that look like? It’s changing a sickness model of care, one that treats disease, into a wellness model. “It’s one that not only tilts the investment toward treating illness, but also invests in health promotion and prevention of disease.” “Health” is an outcome, Kelly said he’s come to recognize is an “outcome of housing, of education, of income, of strong, healthy families.” What they’ve created with the new health authority is a way to change the very social determinants of health. “So it doesn’t matter where people live, if they can’t access the kind of services we take for granted. We need to make those changes and we will.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

News School boards knew of CUPE costs: minister Education Minister Peter Fassbender says boards protesting the cost of a 3.5 per cent raise for school support should have known it was coming, but some opted to wait and hope for an NDP government to take over. Fassbender said in an interview that school trustees have been working with the education ministry for months on “savings plans.” They knew the B.C. Liberal government would not increase budgets to cover a raise for workers who haven’t seen one in four years, and have been without a contract for more than a year. “I think there was some hope on the part of some [trustees] that we would, with our backs to the wall perhaps, come up with additional dollars,” Fasssbender said. “And the other reality, quite honestly, was that up until May 14 there was some anticipation that there was going to be a change of government.” Trustees around the province are grappling with added costs for contracts with 69 union locals representing education assistants, bus drivers, custodians and crossing guards. Mostly members of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, support staff workers are currently voting on a twoyear tentative agreement that is already more than halfway to expiring next June. Union locals and boards of education must all vote to ratify the agreement by December for it to take effect. It includes a one per cent raise retroactive to July 1, another two per cent starting Feb. 1 and 0.5 per cent in May 2014. Districts calculate costs from the deal to be more than $2 million in Vancouver, $700,000 in Chilliwack and proportional amounts in other districts, most of which have already cut services due to declining enrolment. Fassbender said the support staff settlement meets the government’s “cooperative gains” mandate imposed on all public service unions, because CUPE chose to accept a smaller raise and protect its ability to bank

Grey skies don’t have to mean a colourless garden Okay, we’ve had heavy rain pounding down the last of our summer garden colour – so now what? We all need a little colour boost when the days get cooler, darker and much wetter. Fall is a time to celebrate colour … but it’s a season quite different from spring and summer. Fall Brian colour MINTER needs to be used strategically and requires a little forethought. Colour pockets in key locations are the answer. You also need to use the combined synergy of plants in a way that pops. The plants you select must be weather tolerant, frost hardy over-achievers. Vibrant colours are essential because blues and greens are lost on dark days. I love to use combinations that include evergreen shrubs, hardy colourful grasses and kales, perennials that are attractive even when not in flower and bright yellow, orange and white violas and pansies. These combos can be used to create bright and cheery ground beds or porch pots. One of my favourite groupings is surrounding ‘Silver King’ eyuonymus with the short tufty yellow and green stripped grass called Acorus ‘Ogon’. Add in a few bicolour blue and yellow pansies, like ‘Morpheus’, and you’ve got a winner. I’m also a huge fan of the golden orange balls of Rheingold cedar, and I like to combine it in a pot with three Euphorbia ‘Ascot Rainbow’, which have gold and green leaves, pop in a few Carex ‘Evergold’ grasses for good measure and then smother it with purple and soft yellow pansies. Ornamental kale is fabulous at this time of year, tolerating wet weather nicely, but you need to know three things about them. First, the colour:
the whites and pinks show up best in dark weather. Secondly: open form kales, like the ‘Peacock’ variety, shed water more easily
and tend not to rot like some of the tighter, fuller head varieties that collect and hold water. Younger kale plants of all types are usually
more open. Thirdly: if we have a severe winter (temperatures below -10°C for a few days), most kale varieties will tend to freeze
out unless they are protected with N-Sulate cloth. The very hardy Siberian kale, like ‘Red Bor’ and ‘Winter Bor’, will tolerate severe
cold and keep on performing all winter. If you’re using kale for a colour pop, accessorize them with dusty miller, bright ‘Evergold’ carex

flowered varieties, like the ‘Matrix’ series are far more weather tolerant than the larger varieties. Violas are, perhaps, the toughest of all, taking quite severe cold in their stride. When we get a cold spell (-5°C or lower) both pansies and violas tend to quit flowering and remain in a holding pattern until the middle to end of February when temperatures begin to warm up and the hours of daylight are longer. The huge advantage of planting them now is their ability to pour out colour from late winter well into late spring. With our current weather trends, that’s a huge bonus. A few early bulbs, like crocus, grape hyacinths, Spanish scillas and early daffodils, like ‘Rijnveld’s Early Sensation’, popped in among your colour pockets, will really make them come alive in later winter and will create an exquisite show. Don’t let this opportunity to create fall, winter and spring colour slip by.

adapted for the stage, said Spani. In past productions, she has utilized zippers, Velcro and even magnets to ensure her designs are easy for actors to work with, especially during shows with quick costume changes. Getting to know the individual characters is important to costume
designers like Romano and Spani. The personalities of each character influence the clothes they wear, so the costume team spent significant time both studying the script and watching rehearsals. A bold comedy like Earnest, set in Victorian England, allows for a lot of creativity and “over-the-top” designs, said Romano.

Everybody loves a resurrected parade. Exciting plans are in the works for the Rotary Christmas Parade to be held on Dec. 7, sponsored by City of Chilliwack, according to organizers Sharon Dueck and Chloe Popove. “We’re trying to nurture this fantastic community event,” said Dueck. Chilliwack has struggled to find a local community organization or business to undertake the downtown event. The Rotary Clubs of Chilliwack have stepped forward this year, putting resources together to bring the event back to life. Organizers are now looking for broad community engagement, in the form of parade float entries, and performers signing up for pre-parade entertainment spots, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., along the Christmas Parade route. “It’s all about warm and cozies. This is Christmas we’re talking about,” said Dueck. “We want to make this Chilliwack’s parade again.” On Oct. 18, they’ll be auditioning local performers to fill preparade entertainment spots at 7 p.m. at 45892 Wellington Avenue at the Vineyard Community Centre. They want buskers, singers, dancers, musicians, magicians and more. “Whoever shows up can show us what they got,” she said. “The public is welcome to come watch. We need audience and performers.” This year the parade activity is going to continue east of Five Corners, on Yale Road east and include tents, bleachers and volunteer entertainers. “I think this will really help us realize the value of our downtown,” Pick up copies of the float entry application at Sutton Downtown Business Centre, at 9240 Young Rd. or download from chilliwackchristmasparade.com.

Chilliwack Players Guild presents The Importance of Being Earnest, directed by Guild veteran Clint Hames, on Oct. 17-20 and Oct. 24-26. The play, set in Victorian England, features elaborate costumes to emphasize the larger-than-life characters, and they’re designed and created by Mary Spani and Chrystal Romano, with many Guild productions and costumes to their credit over the years. Spani got her start back in 1966 when she saw performances by the theatre group The Vagabond Players out of New Westminster. “I thought it looked like fun, basically,” said Spani. Her mother taught her how to sew when she was young, and, despite no formal education or training in the costume arts, Spani’s natural talents stemming from an enthusiasm and passion for clothing and fashion helped her successfully design costumes for numerous plays over the past 47 years. “I don’t know how many plays I’ve done [costumes for],” Spani said, but estimates at least 75 in total. She and Romano are in charge of costumes for the Guild, and make up an enthusiastic and creative team. Spani jumped at the chance to do the costumes for the Guild production of Earnest. “You should have heard her,” Romano said, “even before she was asked!” Spani agreed, admitting her favourite part of costuming is designing the hats. It can take Spani hours to create the perfect Victorian hat, but she loves every minute of it. “You can make them as big and as ridiculous as you want for this kind of period,” she said. Wilde’s characters consistently push the limits of Victorian society and explore the hilarious consequences of what happens when those who are attempting to break out of these imposed structures come into conflict with those who are still embedded within them. In order to reflect this contrast, Spani and Romano designed their costumes to combine both traditional and modern styles of dress. The costumes for Earnest, though remaining stylistically true to the era, must also be functionally

Lauri Yarrow: Finding time to smile Lauri Yarrow is a most impressive businesswoman. She actually loves to work and really work hard. She lives it and breathes it. She’s talented, tenacious and highly successful. It’s a natural thing; she’s always been that way. The youngest of four girls, Lauri enjoyed music and dancing and she loved her family and her animals with a passion but she absolutely detested school. “My parents owned five real-estate companies so I knew the meaning of hard work. My parents also knew their four daughters quite well and treated us as individuals. I quit school in grade ten and my parents, knowing how much I loved to work, suggested that I get a job. So, I did. I got a job with Weiser Lock.” In 1978, she came face to face with one of BC greatest entrepreneurs – Jimmy Pattison. “He was building an establishment and I just happened to pass by, walking down the street. He started talking to me and gave me his business card. I thought that this was a bit strange so when I got home I told my father about it and showed him the card. He asked if I knew who this was and of course, I had no clue,” she explained, laughing. She ended up calling Jimmy Pattison and he offered her the position of manager at the Parlour Games Arcade. “He
sent me to BCIT to take some management courses and years later I asked him why he offered me the job. He said that it was because I walked quickly,” she chuckled. Lauri enjoyed her time there but after a couple of years she recognized that it was time to move on and went to work for a carpet cleaning business. “This is where I met my husband, Gary. I hired him as a carpet cleaner and after six months, we were Ana married,” she MACEDO said enthusiastically. Twenty-nine years later and the couple is still together. Now Lauri was born and raised in Burnaby and continued to live there even after she was married and subsequently had her son. She was the owner of a large and highly successful marketing company while her husband remained involved in the carpet cleaning business. Their son started school and things were going well until one day, he brought home a letter that changed how they felt about their community. “I couldn’t believe it. He brought home a gun control letter. I’d lived in Burnaby my entire life but couldn’t imagine raising
my son in that kind of environment so we did something that was so out of character for us. We decided to leave and began searching for a community to live in. We had also resolved to take a year off from work,” she explained. After doing their research, the couple settled on Chilliwack and in 1994, they relocated to their new home. While they had decided to take a year off from work, Lauri just couldn’t help herself. “I was reading the paper and noticed that Sears Carpet and Upholstery was for sale. The couple applied to Sears to take over the franchise and after meeting the necessary requirements, they took over as the new owners of the business. Since then, they have successfully operated the franchise for the last 19 years. “When we took over, we ran a carpet and upholstery business in Chilliwack. Then we were given the Chilliwack to Aldergrove franchise. Eight years ago, they gave us the air duct cleaning side of the business and then three years ago, we took on all of the HVAC business from Hope to Aldergrove,” she listed. In fact, they have been so successful that for each year that they’ve been in business, they’ve received Sears Corporate awards for ‘Best Licensee’ in the areas of revenue, team spirit,

United Way accepting applications for ‘priority grants’ United Way has $90,000 available in the Fraser Valley for programs focusing on reducing poverty, reducing homelessness or ensuring children 0 - 6 succeed. Funding will be distributed in April 2014. Any charitable organization in the Fraser Valley may
apply for funding to address one of those issues. To be eligible for a grant, programs or projects must be preventative in nature and be for a new project, the expansion of a program or to continue a currently funded program. Application deadline is 4
p.m. Nov. 15. Applications for grants are available online at www.uwfv. bc.ca. under What We Do. In April of this year, Priority Grants were distributed to 14 local organizations for 15 different projects in the Fraser Valley.
Funded projects mostly focus on skills development, from youth developing skills to maintain housing to skills development for single mothers to assist with employment opportunities. One of the programs funded last year was through the Ann
Davis Transition Society. The grant paid for an outreach worker to help with financial, social, and parenting skills. Sardis Doorway also received funding for skills development for single moms with young children.

advertising and accounting. Then, three years ago, Sears bestowed on them the ‘Partners in Progress’ honours, celebrating a shared vision of outstanding service, innovation and superior quality products. “This was the first time in Sears’ history that they presented a licensee with this award from Sears Home Services,” she said. Lauri loves what she does and if she could, she admits that she would happily work seven days a week. However, she’s had to step back a bit since her husband had a serious motorcycle accident. “He hit a farm vehicle which was terrible but the fortunate thing is that he was wearing full riding gear when it happened. His helmet split in two but it saved his head. Gary was at VGH for 4 ½ months and has undergone 20 surgeries and still walks with crutches. He has a couple more surgeries to go but through it all, he’s remained upbeat and positive. Through this whole ordeal, I have to say that staff has been just wonderful. We have amazing staff,” she said proudly. Community is important to both Lauri and Gary and they support a variety of local endeavours; including throwing their corporate weight behind the SPCA. At Christmas, their business is also involved in the Smile Program where their techs pick up food donations from their customers and the company gladly matches each donation. “I also entertain a lot. I’m known as the party planner and we have tons of staff functions. We do tons of things with our staff,” she enthused.

The City of Chilliwack is proposing to upgrade Prest Road between Bailey Road and Chilliwack Central Road, to increase capacity and safety for vehicles, pedestrians & cyclists. A preliminary engineering design has recently been completed showing upgrades in a phased approach up to the year 2051. This includes intersection improvements and road widening to provide wider travel lanes and bicycle lanes in phase 1 & 2 with ultimately a 4-lane road in Phase 3 & 4 (2030 and beyond). The preliminary design analyzed conventional signalized intersections against modern roundabouts at the intersections of Bailey Rd, McGuire Rd, Prairie Central Rd, Hwy #1 Interchange and Chilliwack Central Rd. The analysis considered all factors such as safety, efficiency and cost, and concluded that modern roundabouts provide the optimum design solution. The City invites you to attend open houses at several locations as follows: • October 1 – Promontory Heights Elementary School, 46200 Stoneview Drive • October 8 – C.H.A.N.C.E. Alternate School, 7780 Prest Road • October 10 – F.G. Leary Fine Arts Elementary School, 9320 Walden Street Please drop in between 6:30 and 8:30 pm to learn more about the project and provide any feedback you may have. You may also contact the Engineering Department at (604) 793-2907. 9-13H CC26

In the last few years there has been an encouraging shift towards outdoor education in Chilliwack public schools. Outdoor education classes have existed on and off for many years in SD33, however they have never been as prolific or as well funded as they Sam are WADDINGTON today. This is translating into a proliferation of programs that are focusing on taking kids outside, teaching them skills in the outdoors and giving them an exposure to the amazing backcountry that Chilliwack has to offer. Currently there are four programs that are in full swing, AD Rundle Middle, Vedder Middle, and GWG Middle/Secondary all have outdoor education programs that involve hiking, camping and even rock climbing, whitewater kayaking, and skiing. Sardis Secondary is continuing with an existing ecotourism program and giving it an outdoor education spin. This program is aimed to act as a stepping-stone for students interested in the outdoors to learn how to make a career or business out of their passion. I believe that this is the future that Chilliwack needs to focus on. These students are learning invaluable things about themselves as they spend nights out in the backcountry with their peers, as well as learning the skills to ply the trails on their own in the future and continue an active lifestyle. People who have experienced life at the sharp end of a rope at Harrison Bluffs, or at the head of a group skiing waist deep Coquihalla powder, or kayaking a slalom line through Tamahi rapids, seem to calibrate life’s priorities a bit differently. The outdoor programs are also getting involved with the outdoor community to gain work experience

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com
Nations unite with CSS soccer Signs Si off scoring i Eric J. Welsh,
Creating scoring chances and scoring goals isn’t always about skill. Hard work is just as important, writes Jacob Bestebroer
The Progress Shane Mummery remembers standing on the sideline years ago, watching Langley’s Brookswood secondary school in soccer action. Their team that year had 10 international players, most of them South American. “You were in Canada watching a South American game with South American language, and our kids didn’t have a clue what hit them,” Mummer y reminisced. He finds himself in a similar situation this year with his Chilliwack secondary school Storm, who feature three internationals and several others with different countries of origin. Daniel Fotenelle and Bruno Macedo are from Brazil. Vlad Titeranko hails from the Ukraine and Jacob Hennicke from Germany. Uriel Jasso has Mexican heritage and El Salvador is

the homeland of the Rodriguez brothers, Will and Rene. Mummer y and Jason Templeton find themselves overseeing a little soccer melting pot. “We’ve got a wide variety of styles that is really interesting to see,” Mummery said. “The Brazilians, they want to do a lot of one and two touch stuff with a lot of footwork and ball movement.” Hennicke plays
a more direct style with a lot of control and pace. Titeranko oozes skill and has the most versatile approach. “You can tell he’s played at a high level,” Mummer y said. “He can run with you, move the ball and go hard into tackles.” With much gelling to do and such a short high-stakes season (only two of four AAA teams make Valleys),
expectations for the Storm aren’t high. But no matter what happens on the pitch, this season promises to be one of the most interesting for the longtime coach. “Some things are universal in any language and culture,” he said. “If you’re not marking up defensive and finishing your chances, you’re not going to be on the pitch. But how we get there will be the
story.” Mummery doesn’t want to shoe-horn the internationals into a ‘Canadian’ style of play. He wants them to be free to be creative. “It’s up to us to find roles for them that showcase their talents,” he said. “The team plan is defence first, so we’ll tell them to be creative in the other team’s end and not ours. Then we’ll let them play.”
Curling club overtakes Mayflower The Chilliwack Curling Club has never taken on Nova Scotia’s Mayflower Curling Club on the ice. But off the ice, they’ve staged a series of epic battles. Each year, curling clubs across Canada raise funds for the Sanda Schmirler Foundation. The foundation funnels money into neonatal care to help babies in crisis.
For several years, Chilliwack’s Halifaxbased rivals, the home club of Colleen Jones, bested them in fundraising. Chilliwack finished second year after year after year in the battle to be the best in Canada. Until this year. This year, the CCC finally overtook Mayflower, raising more than $3,820 through a variety of events.
A silent auction featuring locally handcrafted wood and artwork garnered $649. A volunteer served and cooked brunch raised $2,305. The CCC had a ‘Hog Jar.’ Curlers whose rock failed to reach the hog line put 25 cents into the jar. By season’s end there was $249 in there. The club also raffled off event passes for the
Scott Tournament of Hearts, getting another $572. Determined to hold onto the title, the CCC is already working on next year’s total. The Brier tournament will be played in Kamloops this year, and the CCC is raffling off two full event passes. The Brier is in March. The draw for the event passes will
be done during the junior men’s finals on New Year’s Eve. Tickets are $5 apiece, available at the CCC office. The club will be holding another silent auction/brunch on Jan. 30.

The Chilliwack Chiefs face the Coquitlam Express this weekend in a home-and-home series that includes a Saturday night tilt in Chilliwack. Both teams are desperate for a win, entering the weekend with losing streaks of three and two games respectively. Despite losing both games last weekend, I thought the Chiefs were much improved, especially in Friday’s 2-1 loss to Prince George, which was easily their best game of the young season. L yndon Goaltender Stanwood was excellent, making 37 saves and giving his team a chance to win. w in. The number of shots against may not reflect defensive improvement, but the quality of scoring chances against sure did. There has been an obvious improvement in defensive play since the opening night 6-1 loss to Powell River. Offensively, this team continues to struggle to score goals with just eight through six games. But we’re starting to see scoring chances now that we w e were not seeing a few weeks w eeks ago. Ten seconds into the Friday’s game, Austin Plevy looked to have a sure goal only to have the puck bounce at the last second, causing his shot to go over the wide open net. That goes in and who knows how that game plays out. Creating scoring chances and scoring goals isn’t always about skill. Hard work w ork is just as important. Paying the price in offensive zone puck battles will lead to good things hap-
pening. Players are getting that, and they’re also starting to realize thatt without that work ethic they may find themselves out of the lineup. Getting back to this weekend’s games, the Express, despite three straight losses are at the opposite offensive spectrum, leading the league with an average of 4.43 goals per game. They are also a perfectt 3-0-0-0 on the road this season. Of the three players dealt to Coquitlam byy the Chiefs in last season’s acquisition of Phil Zielonka only defenseman Ben Israel is still on the Express roster. Garrett Forster was traded to the Alberta League’s Brooks Bandits where he has one assist in six games. Defenseman Shay Laurentt is back in Chilliwack. If you’re looking to save some money over walk k up prices, there are a few w options for you. Familyy Packs include two adultt tickets, two youth tickets, four hot dogs and fourr pops for $42 including taxes. You can buy them att the Prospera Centre box x office or at the Chilliwack k locations of Save On Foods, PriceSmart and Cooper’s Foods. The Chiefs have also introduced a new Flex x Pack. In addition to 10 voucher ($120) and 20 voucher ($220) packs, you can now purchase a six voucher pack for $66. That pack includes a free Chiefs hat and $16 of the purchase price can be donated to the local nonprofit association of yourr choice. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net

Mayors make a BCHL bet
At the recent Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) conference in Vancouver, mayors from 16 communities agreed on a mutual BCHL wager. The politicians of the 16 BCHL cities answered a challenge put forth by Port Alberni mayor John Douglas. He challenged each of them to wear the jersey of the 2014 Fred Page Cup winner at a subsequent council meeting. Potentially, that could mean Chilliwack mayor Sharon Gaetz sporting a Langley Rivermen or Surrey Eagle jersey. “The jersey challenge is a really good opportunity to have some lighthearted fun and get the community involved in a friendly rivalry,” said Douglas. “It gets people interested in not only their local team but also in engaging rival teams and fans at their arenas.” BCHL commissioner John Grisdale likes the challenge. “Our teams receive great support from their respective communities some genuine rivalries exist between towns because of that,” he said. “With each of the mayors taking on the challenge put out there by Mayor Douglas, it only raises the level of interest and intrigue.”
Rams in town The Valley Huskers host the Langley Rams Saturday afternoon in BC Football Conference action. Kickoff has been pushed back to 2 p.m. at Exhibition Stadium. This is the last regular season game for the Huskers, who come in with a 2-6-1 record. The Rams, the defending national champions, are 6-3, third in the six-team circuit. The Rams beat the Huskers 54-7 in Langley two weeks ago.

Pauline Lucas passed away September 28, 2013 at the age of 80. Her two daughters were by her side. Pauline was born July 6, 1933 in Kayville Sask. She grew up in a farming community sharing a home with her parents Andrei and Margareta Juravle, brothers Joe (oldest) and Eli (youngest) Juravle.
