Weekend storm brings record temp A wet and windy weekend ushered in record temperatures in Chilliwack on Monday. Warm Pacific winds brought temperatures to 11 degrees on Jan. 13 – the warmest minimum high for January since records started in 1896, reports Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observer with Environment Canada. The double-digit heat (similar to an average evening temperature in early July, Pannett notes) shattered the previous record of 7.7 degrees set in 1994. The average minimum temperature for January is -1.8 degrees. The warm weather was a result of a powerful offshore system that brought a stormy weekend to the Fraser Valley. Strong winds knocked out power to thousands of Sardis residents Saturday morning and again Saturday evening, as trees and branches took out powerlines. Other pockets of Chillwack were without power at different points throughout the weekend as BC Hydro crews raced to replace downed lines and blown transformers. At one point more than 20,000 Lower Mainland residents were without power. More than 37 millimetres of rain fell on Saturday. That was less than the 50 mm forecast, and lower than the 51.8 mm record set in 1932. Overall, rainfall amounts for January remain below average, Pannett said. Midway through January, Chilliwack has received 107.8 mm of rain. The total precipitation average for the month is 263.7 mm. That follows a particularly dry December, Pannett said. Only 95 mm of total precipitation fell in the month, down sharply from the 294.4mm 30-year average. Said Pannett: “With total precipitation over 67 per cent below normal it was the 15th consecutive December with below normal precipitation and the driest since 1985.”

Chiefs mark anniversary with price cut Prospera Credit Union inks new five-year deal Eric Welsh The Progress The Chilliwack Chiefs are cutting some season ticket packages by more than 50 per cent as the team prepares to celebrate its 25th anniversary. Calling it a ‘celebration price,’ team president Glen Ringdal revealed what the cost will be to see junior A hockey next year. From now until April 1, adult season tickets will tumble from $388 to $199. Seniors will pay $189 and all child and youth prices will pay $99. After April 1, prices will rise to a level that will still be at least 25 per cent lower than this

anniversary, what happens in 2014-15? “We have promised anyone buying their season tickets this year will be able to buy their season tickets for the following year at that same 25 per cent off price,” Ringdal said. “It’ll be very good pricing for a minimum of two years, and maybe more. The more people who are in here on a regular basis, the less revenue we need to generate from ticket sales.” The Chiefs have seen their attendance slide backwards this year. Their per-game averages topped 2,000 the last two seasons. But with the team struggling mightily on the ice, the average is down to 1,647. That’s still good for third best in the BCHL, and Ringdal said

year’s prices. You can call it the Penticton plan. The Vees did much the same thing last summer during a 30 day campaign. With the lower ticket prices and a good on-ice product, Penticton has averaged 2,066 fans per game in 2013-14 as opposed to 1,786 in 2012-13. “They had great success with it, even though they did it at a time of the year where’s there’s not a lot of attention on hockey,” Ringdal noted. “We’re thinking if we do it now, when people are in the building, there should be a strong response to it.” But, if the current promotion centers around the team’s 25th

attendance is down just about everywhere. “All of hockey is, and it’s not unique to our league at all,” he said. “As a matter of fact, it’s quite pronounced in some other leagues. As a team, we were number one in Canada for two years in a row. This year the team hasn’t performed at the same level, and that naturally leads to a decline. Also, I think our season ticket prices last year were a little too high because they included the BCHL Showcase and some other things.” At the same time he was introducing the new ticket prices, Ringdal also announced the return of Prospera Credit Union as the title sponsor at Prospera Centre.

The wheels are back on a regional transit bus Alex Butler Black Press A regional bus plan previously rejected by Abbotsford council was reconsidered and approved on Monday, laying the foundation for a transit connection between Chilliwack, Abbotsford and Langley. The plan was approved by the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) in September and the City of Chilliwack in October, but was initially rejected by Abbotsford’s council. As the decision was made with only six councillors at the table, Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman used his executive privilege to

bring back the issue for another vote. Banman told council that approving the bus was “fundamentally the right thing to do as a service to the region.” He said that cities need to start planning now for a “population explosion” in the area, and transportation is an important part of that. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz agreed. “I am very pleased to see the City of Abbotsford’s leadership promoting a greener footprint,” said Gaetz, who also chairs the Fraser Valley Regional District. “This service will substantially reduce the number of cars on

the road, which will subsequently reduce emissions in the Fraser Valley’s fragile airshed that is home to over 300,000 residents and grows nearly half of the province’s food source. The FVRD is also home to the University of the Fraser Valley with who we have been working to assist in intercampus travel. The convenience of this service will enable students to commute to and from campuses in Abbotsford, Chilliwack and Mission as well as potentially increase enrollment from pupils in other nearby Fraser Valley communities,” Gaetz said. The bus is expected to begin in 2015 and will connect people from Chilliwack to Langley’s Carvolth

Transit Exchange, connecting Valley residents to TransLink. The six-bus fleet for the Fraser Valley Express bus would cost $1.6 million per year. BC Transit will pay about 50 per cent of the cost for the service, with Abbotsford paying 63.8 per cent of the remaining costs – about $588,236 – and Chilliwack paying 36.2 per cent – about $333,764. Langley will not pay into the bus service. Representatives from BC Transit, FVRD and the University of the Fraser Valley (UFV) were there to present information about the project and answer questions. They cited the success of UFV’s Campus Connector shuttle service, which began in September

Cemetery defends tree removal

Pharmacy points ban survives first challenge

Katie Bartel The Progress Trees have expiry dates, just like people. That’s the message the manager of Chilliwack Cemeteries would like for people to understand the next time they see fresh stumps on the cemetery grounds. Bev Van Winkle, manager of Chilliwack Cemeteries, was not surprised to learn of recent complaints made following the “controlled takedown” of three cedar trees and two maples last month. She’s been fighting such complaints since starting in the position 12 years ago. “The trees were rotten, they were splitting, they had to be taken down before they created all kinds of havoc and damage,” said Van Winkle. But when Chilliwack resident Ron Smith, who frequently walks through the cemetery, saw what he believed to be healthy trees chopped down, and grave markers lying on their sides, he was horrified. Smith sent letters and accompanying photos to Mayor Sharon Gaetz and the media. “You just don’t do that,” he told The Progress. “They’re showing no respect for the dead. “If somebody doesn’t say anything, I’m sure they’ll hack them all down.” Van Winkle was quick to defend the cemetery’s actions, saying the takedown was proactive. “Had we had another frost, after all that rain, it would have crashed down,” she said, pointing to the stump of one of the felled cedars. “It would have smashed all these headstones.” In fact, two years ago, following a windstorm, the cemetery had 13 of its widow-maker

and quickly expanded service following a student referendum. Banman said the regional bus would also support students moving between campuses, as well as helping people access many regional services such as hospitals and the courts. The planned travel time between Chilliwack and Abbotsford is 30 minutes, and the total commute from Chilliwack to Langley in under one hour. The annual ridership is estimated to be 136,800 passenger trips. District officials will continue work to determine final fare structures, schedule development and potential routes.

Bev Van Winkle, manager of Chilliwack Cemeteries, says some trees must be taken down for safety reasons. STAFF PHOTO

maples crash down. “There were limbs twice as big as my waist,” she said. “Parts big enough that if they landed on somebody, and you didn’t know they were there, you wouldn’t find them. “These trees are huge, they can destroy 40 feet around, and when they crash, they smash.” A controlled takedown involves extensive preparation and forethought, said Van Winkle. Grave markers near the targeted trees are removed and laid flat two rows over to pre-

vent any possibility for damage. Those that can’t be removed are enclosed with thick wood blocks for protection. And in areas with softer ground fill, the cranes work off grounds cutting sections of trees and attaching them to booms to prevent the ground from caving in. Van Winkle, who keeps a record of photos for every takedown, would love to explain the process and share their reasonings for taking the trees down, but most often, no one asks. “When I get frustrated is when they don’t ask why,” she said.

“Why didn’t they walk in? Why didn’t they ask us a question before going off half handed. “People don’t understand that some of this stuff has to be done. They’re old trees and just like old people, they die.” All but one of the grave markers has been put back in place. Due to the heft and fragility of the remaining one, a backhoe is required. As well, for every tree that’s removed a new tree is planted. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

A newly imposed ban on issuing loyalty reward points on prescription drug purchases has survived the first stage of a court challenge launched by major pharmacy chains. Sobeys West Inc. and Jace Holdings Ltd. – parent firms of Canada Safeway and Thrifty Foods – had sought an interim court injunction suspending the ban but that was rejected last week by B.C. Supreme Court. A full hearing of the College of Pharmacists of B.C. bylaw prohibiting loyalty programs on pharmaceuticals begins Jan. 31. The two firms argued in part that the bylaw banning points issuance effective Dec. 2 was pushed through by smaller pharmacies that struggle to compete against the loyalty offers of big chains. The college has said loyalty incentives are inappropriate “kickbacks” that could unduly influence customer purchasing behaviour. The companies argued there was no evidence and only speculation that reward points might be a threat to the health of vulnerable patients. Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson rejected Canada Safeway’s claim it would suffer “irreparable harm” due to loss of revenue and customers to competitors if the loyalty points ban was allowed to remain in place pending the hearing. The court did not accept the big pharmacies’ claim that loyalty programs pose no threat. “The fact that there has been no documented harm to the public from customer loyalty programs to date does not mean that the risk of harm is nonexistent,” Hinkson ruled.

Influenza shots in high demand with the return of H1N1 Tom Fletcher Black Press Supplies of influenza vaccine are still available to B.C. residents, despite high demand as the H1N1 strain of the virus has returned, provincial health officials say. Cases since the current flu season began in December have shown a shift towards people aged 20 to 69, rather than the very young and the elderly who are typically most vulnerable. There have been severe cases involving healthy,

younger people and two deaths have been confirmed, one in the Okanagan and one on Vancouver Island. The main strain of influenza to emerge this winter is a descendent of the H1N1 that prompted the largest vaccination in Canadian history in 2009-10, when the illness was declared a global pandemic. Provincial health officer Dr. Perry Kendall said the B.C. health ministry purchased a record 1.4 million doses of the current vaccine, which offers immuni-

ty to H1N1 and other strains. Some doctorsâ€™ offices and pharmacies have run out as demand has been higher than last year. â€œWe have supplies currently available, but itâ€™s conceivable that if demand continues to be high, weâ€™ll use up all of those 1.4 million doses,â€? Kendall said Wednesday. â€œSo I

wouldnâ€™t call it a vaccine shortage, Iâ€™d call it an unusually high demand.â€? The health ministry has a website for information on influenza and other vaccinations, with a guide to finding local flu clinics, at www. immunizebc.ca. Since 2009, pharmacies as well as doctorsâ€™ offices and dedicated

flu clinics have been authorized to administer flu shots. They are free of charge to higher risk groups, including pregnant women, very young or old people, people with other medical conditions and those planning to visit a hospital or long-term care facility. Flu season typically runs from December to

April. Kendall said in an average year, between 10 and 20 per cent of B.C. residents contract the virus, with about 2,000 sick enough to be hospitalized and 500 deaths, mostly people with underlying conditions. While severe illness among younger, healthier people is unusual, so far the current flu

season is in the typical range, Kendall said. Seasonal influenza is mainly a respiratory illness, with symptoms of coughing, fever, headache and muscle ache that typically last from seven to 10 days. It can be complicated by pneumonia and worsen underlying conditions such as heart disease.

yearbook had been selected by Jostens Canada as one of the top 12 yearbooks for all of Canada. Of those winners, Rosedale was the only middle school in the group. “I was more surprised than anything,” said teacher-librarian David Walker, who’s been leading students in yearbook for 10 years. “I had no idea this was a contest.” Based on the judging criteria, the award could very well have been named the Nicest, Most Organized Yearbook of the Year. Recipients were judged based on making their monthly deadlines, and on the number of photos per student included in the book. Each winning yearbook had to have at least three photos per student. Not the easiest task when you’ve got a school of approximately 455 students, 200 in elementary. But it’s a task Walker has long had his students performing. “The yearbook lasts forever and I want all kids to be able to remember their school experi-

ences with fondness,” said Walker. “To me, that’s what a yearbook is about.” Memories. The 2012-13 yearbook club had eight students involved, all of who put long hours into the product, working their lunch hours, after school and at home – snapping photos of the school’s various clubs, sports games, events, laying out pages, and tracking down different students, ensuring every student had memories forever marked in the book. “Every lunch we had the camera,” said NordLeth, who got to know more of her school than

most other kids do as a result. And for the trio of best friends, now in Grade 10 at CSS, the honour is something they know they’ll hold dear for years to come. “I think it’s almost better than a sports banner because it’s more unique, and because it’s all of Canada,” said Johnston. “We didn’t even know about this award,” said Rose. “We put our best effort in because we wanted to…” “Not because we were trying hard to win something,” finished NordLeth. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Hazardous materials eligible for transfer will include flammable and corrosive liquids, as well as “toxic and infectious substances.” The rezoning allows a 500-drum maximum, plus three trailers in the loading dock. Critics say that while

the recycling efforts are admirable, the location poses an imminent threat to one of the most productive salmon-bearing rivers in the world. City staff, meanwhile, say adequate safeguards will be in place to prevent an incident. Angelo, who helps draft annual list of “Most Endangered Rivers in B.C.,” has long advo-

Community activists hoping to overturn rezoning approval for a waste recycling facility near the Fraser River have found some highpowered help. Mark Angelo, a longtime watershed advocate and founder of BC Rivers Day, will be keynote speaker at an information event this Saturday at Evergreen Hall. The former BCIT instructor and chair of the Outdoor Recreation Council of BC, will be among several speakers at the event, which gets under way at 2 p.m. Organizers hope to draw attention to the decision by Chilliwack city council to rezone a property on Cannor Road that will allow a waste recycling facility and transfer station they say puts the nearby Fraser River at risk. The facility will recycle up to 500,000 mercury and non-mercury lamps, and 5,000 litres of electri-

Quick call ends fire threat A sharp eye by the resident of a Banford Road home helped prevent a chimney fire from doing more damage than it did Sunday morning, Chilliwack fire officials say. Firefighters got the call just after 8:30 a.m. When they arrived they found flames venting from the roof of a metal fireplace flue, with the fire starting to extend to the attic of the two-storey single family home. Firefighters quickly gained access to the attic and suppressed the fire. Fire damage was very minor smoke damage inside the house. The one tenant at home at the time had noticed an issue with the fireplace and placed the timely 9-1-1 call. Cause of the fire is accidental and related to the fireplace.

R AESIDE

Make real commitment to trades For Chilliwack shop teacher Eric Munshaw, it’s not a question of if a serious incident might occur, but when. Last week, the award-winning Mt. Slesse technology education teacher told The Progress that he had lost confidence in the Chilliwack education system’s ability to safeguard students from serious injury. After 33 years, and recently earning a lifetime achievement award from the BC Technology Education Association, Munshaw said he is retiring. Response to the story was immediate. By press time on Tuesday, more than 50 comments had been registered online. Many readers wrote to acknowledge the fine work Munshaw has done during his career. But others related similar experiences in their school jurisdictions. “I am a tech ed teacher in a Coquitlam middle school and in my classes 30 is the norm, sometimes with five ministry identified kids and no special education assistant,” wrote Holly Hereward Elson. Said Margo Lynn McPhalen: “My son is in the Langley school district, No. 35, and on Nov. 6th he amputated his left thumb with a drill press in woodworking class at ACSS. He still has the pin in, and then there is hand therapy.... Classroom size is a definite issue.”

The Chilliwack

Munshaw’s concerns are not new. He’s raised them before, both locally and at the ministry level. And despite assurance from Chilliwack school district officials that the kids will be alright, Munshaw is not convinced. But safety is just one issue. He’s also worried that the crowded classes, lack of available work spaces and the absence of one-on-one mentoring will affect students’ desire to pursue careers in trades. And that’s contrary to goals stated by both provincial and federal politicians. They continue to promote their commitment to skills and trades training in an effort to ward off what they claim is an impending skills shortage. However, television ads promoting programs that don’t even exist yet will hardly fix that shortage. What’s needed is a concrete commitment to skills and trades training, starting in the middle school years. Students need to be encouraged, inspired and captivated by this potential career path so they and their parents have the tools to make an informed choice. That can’t happen if crowded classrooms leave them frustrated on the sidelines – or recovering from a lifealtering injury. ~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

B.C. V IEWS

Stephen Harper rapped for wrong reasons VICTORIA – Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s latest visit to B.C. was portrayed as these things are today: besieged by protesters, hiding from an ever-vigilant media, cynically campaigning for the 2015 federal election. TV couldn’t get enough of the two “environmental activists” who dressed as waiters to slip onstage at a business breakfast in Vancouver. They’re not environmentalists, just all-purpose protesters using the flavour of the month. They are associated with a group calling itself “No One Is Illegal,” a collection of anarchist kooks that wants to do away with national borders, and of course capitalism. As their now-famous sign said, they want “climate justice now.” Organizer Brigette DePape explained to a co-operative CBC TV host that the recent typhoon in the Philippines that killed thou-

sands of people was caused by global warming, which of course is caused mainly by the Alberta “tar sands.” I won’t dwell on this routine idiocy, except to say the number of hurricanes that struck North America in 2013 was zero, and that hasn’t happened since 1994. Tom Also, “climate jusFLETCHER tice” is like “social justice,” in that both require confiscation of earned wealth. DePape is the former Senate page fired in 2011 for a similar sign stunt. She’s now a professional Harper hater, with support from the U.S.-based Tides Foundation among others. One of the issues Harper didn’t take questions on was the con-

solidation of 11 federal fisheries libraries into two, one of them in Sidney, B.C. This is portrayed as part of Harper’s so-called “war on science,” and has been compared with the Romans burning the library of Alexandria in ancient Egypt. Fisheries Minister Gail Shea defended the cost-cutting measure by pointing out that almost all access to these libraries is now digital, so maintaining 11 duplicated sets of printed reports is a waste of taxpayer dollars. An anonymous federal scientist fired back on his blog that the head of one of these libraries retired before the contents could even be catalogued, much less completely digitized for online access. So this material wasn’t even properly organized? Users were supposed to browse until they

Progress

stumbled on something pertinent? The ministry reported that the average number of people other than federal fisheries staff who used these libraries averaged between five and 12 per year. That’s for all 11 facilities combined. And if anyone has even one example of information that was available and isn’t now, they should identify it. Harper’s got plenty to answer for, no question. To take one of many examples, spending our borrowed money on TV ads for a “Canada Job Grant” program that hasn’t even been introduced in Parliament, much less set up, isn’t just wasteful. It’s dishonest and cruelly misleading to the unemployed people the ads pretend to offer help. Harper’s visit to B.C. added a couple of scripted events, starting with softball questions at the Vancouver business breakfast.

Then he was off to a photo op at the Kinsol trestle on Vancouver Island, where he announced three more years of funding for the Trans-Canada Trail. I’m as relieved as anyone that Harper is not killing this modest federal project that started in 1992, but this is not news. It was a fake public event to justify the cost of a trip so Harper could address a new Conservative riding association. And how is the federal deficit after eight years of tight-fisted Conservative rule? We’re only borrowing about $1 billion a month now, down from the Harper government all-time record deficit of $55 billion in 2009. Some cost cutting is in order all right.

Downtown needs some certainty About a year ago the City made an announcement that the Yale Block between Five Corners and Nowell Street is slated to come down in favour of redevelopment. I am in my 20th year of operating my shop on that block. Over the last 20 years mayors and councils have invested millions of taxpayer dollars in an attempt to resuscitate downtown Chillwack. Ultimately, new life must be breathed into the downtown. In the meantime, many small businesses such as mine,

which are still viable but struggle, in part due to the economy but also because of the misconception that this entire block could be torn down any day. We have already had numerous businesses close and others refuse to open in this area due to this misconception. I’d like to urge [Chilliwack city] council to lend support to the businesses’ efforts by clarifying their agenda. We assume this agenda is to continue assisting area merchants and to encourage others to open in

the many empty spots on the block while diligently searching for developers to revitalize the block. However, redevelopment will depend entirely on market conditions and could be realized many years into the future. In the meantime, let’s support the life of the businesses we have. I don’t think anyone wishes to see a “dead zone” in the middle of our beautiful little town. Marion Peters-Marks, Owner/operator of Marion’s Dressing Room, vintage and current resale shop

Do some research before you rent a home Once again I sadly watch as another lovely family visits the home across from mine as prospective renters. The last renters stayed less than a month after the woman started getting sick and her eyes started swelling up. Family before that stayed a couple of months, same story - over and over. People go to the expense and trouble of lining up moving trucks, friends, packing up, taking time off work to move households and then find they are living in a former grow op, tons of dangerous mold everywhere (in every vent, every closet, etc.) that is making them and their children sick. Black mold, fuzzy mold. The home owner just paints over the problem and sucks in another poor unknowing family.

Chilliwack should have some authority to ensure that former grow ops that they are aware of have to undergo hazmat testing/certification to ensure the home is safe and fit for human life before homeowners are allowed to rent it out to tenants. And unscrupulous landlords should have to pay heavy fines if they are caught luring tenants into such predicaments. If home rentals seem too good to be true, there is a good reason they are empty and always turning over tenants. We own our home but if we rented, we would certainly take the time to ring the doorbells of the neighbours in front of and beside a home to make sure the home we were about to rent was a safe, decent place to live.

News Mark Evered’s term as UFV president extended The University of the Fraser Valley’s board of governors has renewed Dr. Mark Evered’s term as president and vicechancellor through to June 30, 2017. “The board was unanimous in its decision to extend the president’s contract,” said chair Barry Delaney. “A survey of students, employees and community members reflected overwhelming support of Mark Evered in the areas of effective leadership, relational and communication skills, achievement of strategic goals, and promotion of UFV and its mission.” According to a press release, Evered has served UFV through a time of growth and

renewal. He guided the university through a number of major initiatives, including the establishment of a new Faculty of Health Sciences, the B.C. School of Agriculture, and the Clearbrook Centre for continuing studies. Evered also oversaw the transformation of the Chilliwack campus at Canada Education Park into the internationally acclaimed 150,000-square-foot classroom, laboratory, and office building and the soon-tobe completed plant and animal laboratory facilities supporting agriculture teaching and student research. Another UFV centre at Five Corners in downtown Chilliwack is also under

development. The press release states that Evered has given high priority to connecting UFV with the region, building relationships with municipal, provincial and federal political leaders, school districts, chambers of commerce, rotary clubs and other community and cultural groups. The university’s profile has risen in the last few years and student demand exceeds capacity. UFV now serves over 15,000 students annually. Evered noted that continuing funding challenges, driven by increased costs, competing demands for provincial resources, and tuition caps will require

UFV to be evermore innovative and entrepreneurial to fulfill its responsibilities to students and the Fraser Valley. He will continue to prioritize fundraising and the development of local and international partnerships in the coming years. “It’s a real honour to serve this university and our region,” said Evered. “I work with extraordinary people, including dedicated board members, an outstanding administrative team, the best faculty and staff colleagues a president could wish for, exceptional student leaders, and very supportive community leaders, partners, and donors.”

Just in time for the Sochi Olympics, photojournalist Jenna Hauck presents select images she captured while on assignment for Black Press at the 2010 Winter Olympics. The exhibition, 14 Gold, runs Jan. 18 to Feb. 27 at the Chilliwack Museum. It includes images like the one captured after Canada’s gold medal win in hockey (top right) and Alexandre Bilodeau historic gold in freestyle skiing. JENNA HAUCK/BLACK PRESS

Photo show shines like Olympic gold Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s a chance to relive the thrill of the 2010 Winter Olympics through the lens of Progress photojournalist Jenna Hauck. Her exhibition, 14 Gold, is proudly presented at the Chilliwack Museum Jan. 18 to Feb. 27. “Photographing the 2010 Olympics was the most exhilarating assignment of my career,” says Hauck. Fans are in for a treat. She has been part of group exhibitions before, but this is the first solo show of Hauck’s award-winning photography. What is intriguing about the show is that the majority of the 45 images she shot and filed for Black Press never made it into the printed pages of The Progress. “This show, 14 Gold, is Chilliwack’s chance to finally see what I experienced in Vancouver and Whistler,” says Hauck. Fittingly, the exhibition will be on display during the same time

the 2014 Olympics is taking place in Sochi, Russia, Feb. 7-23. Hauck hand-picked the highlights and big moments from 2010 to spotlight in her solo show. She distinctly remembers the first gold medal won by Canada on Canadian soil, which was men’s moguls with Alexandre Bilodeau. In her shot, Bilodeau’s head is back and his fist is pumped in the air in triumph. What was interesting, she says, is that she wasn’t even there to shoot Bilodeau per se. Also pictured in the shot beside him is West Van resident Dale BeggSmith, who she was targeting in the shoot. He was skiing for Australia and placed second in the same event. “Bilodeau was ecstatic,” she remembers. “He was completely over the moon with his gold medal win.” But his fellow Olympian was looking totally dejected at that precise moment. “To capture those polar opposites in the same photograph

made it a memorable image.” There are more stories from the non-stop excitement. She got up before dawn and came home way after dark for about two weeks straight to shoot and file pictures from the events, minus a few days off in between. It was gruelling, and the pressure to perform at a high level was non-stop, but the experience was also incredibly rewarding. “I included some gems in the exhibition that I overlooked at first when I was shooting. They weren’t for publication, but they’re fun photos that no one has seen.” One of those she titled, Headless Skier, and the striking image took second place for Olympic feature photo in the News Photographers Association of Canada’s 2010 Pictures of the Year competition. It shows American cross countr y skier Torin Koos leaning on his ski poles and hanging his head down in sheer exhaustion after his run. But his head is obscured by his body in the photo, and the athlete

eerily appears headless. “My lens was on the skier the entire time. I just followed him after he crossed the finish line, and was waiting for the celebration shot with his teammate. I captured this instead.” But the quintessential example of how exhilarating it was to be there in person, was at the gold medal game between Canada and the U.S. for men’s ice hockey final. “I knew it was the most important game, being broadcast around the world, with millions of viewers watching,” she recounts. To be in the actual arena, not sitting at home, but seeing it first hand as Crosby scored the winning goal, was almost unimaginable.” It was like time almost stood still. The atmosphere was charged. “No one knew until a few seconds later that the puck had gone in the net,” Hauck says. There was a delayed reaction. “I was following Crosby because he had the puck. I saw

him shoot, but I didn’t see it go in. But I saw him react. That’s when I knew it went in.” Crosby’s arms were by his sides, as he skated into the far corner. “He threw his gloves off and screamed. That’s when everyone knew he’d scored.” But in the shot, you can’t actually see the puck. Just Crosby gliding behind the net, starting to celebrate his goal. “That gold medal win for us at the end of the games, was Canada winning the Olympics. It was a perfect way to end the 2010 Olympics.” The opening reception for 14 Gold: Images from the 2010 Olympics is Saturday, Jan. 18 from noon to 2 p.m. at the Chilliwack Museum, upstairs in the Chambers Galler y (45820 Spadina Ave.). Admission to the opening reception is free. Gallery hours are Mondays to Fridays 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is $3 for adults, and $2 for students and seniors.

I have lived in Chilliwack for over 45 years, raising a family and watching this city and surrounding areas grow and prosper. I have a passion for real estate and gained knowledge by building, buying and selling my own homes in this area. I took this passion and knowledge a step further and became a realtor in 2005. As a realtor I approach clients with an honest, down to earth, trustworthy attitude. This is a major reason why referrals from past clients are the majority of my business! I have been a President’s Club recipient since 2009 and I am currently a Director on the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board.

This year, resolve to buy your first home, or take advantage of the low interest rates to move up! BC assessments rates just released show that Chilliwack and area is retaining its home value, in fact statistics compiled by the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board (CADREB) shows that the average price for all homes over the past year is up 0.4%, 2.9% for single family homes. According to the local Board, the average price for a single family home in Chilliwack (which includes the surrounding villages and municipalities) is $329,967. Chilliwack and area also fared well on a year-over-year basis - while the Fraser Valley as a whole dropped 1.2%, locally total sales went up 3.9%. “We say it often, but it bears repeating,” said CADREB President Jesse Hildebrandt. “The local real estate market continues to stay the course and hold its value due to continued low interest rates, affordability and a good balance of supply and demand. It remains one of the soundest short and long-term investments either as a residence or an investment”.

At 108, home sales for December were up marginally from December a year ago, but down from a month earlier likely due in part to unseasonably cold temperatures in the first part of the month. Of the total sales, the highest number (19) was in the $300,000 - $349,999 range, followed by 14 sales in the $275,000 - $299,999 range. There were 11 sales over the half-million dollar mark, including four sales over $700,000. With 1,427 active listings on the market, it is a great time to shop for a home. “The sales-to-listing ratio is at 8%, showing that it is a buyer’s market,” said Mr. Hildebrandt. “There are some great deals out there with competitive pricing, so be sure to get pre-qualified and get shopping for your first or next home!”. – CADREB press release

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey. I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here. So I feel like I’m well qualified to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

He has shone at the forefront of Outlaw Social, held up the bottom end of The Bills, and even completed a one year stint with Louisiana’s popular Red Stick Ramblers. “Oliver has a pedigree in Canadian folk music, not only as a member of Outlaw Social and the artistic director of the Victoria Django Festival, but as

The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the implant. These posts provide stable anchors for artificial replacement teeth.

Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. these metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes.

Implants also help preserve facial structure, preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.

Chilliwack School of Performing Arts Shrek to life The Chilliwack School of Performing Arts presents Shrek: The Musical, starting this week. Based on the Oscar-winning DreamWorks film that started it all, Shrek brings the hilarious story of everyone’s favourite ogre to dazzling new life on the stage. In a faraway kingdom turned upside down, things get ugly when an unseemly ogre — not a handsome prince — shows up to rescue a feisty princess. Throw in a donkey who won’t shut up, a bad guy with a short temper, a cookie with an attitude and over a dozen other fairy tale misfits, and you’ve got the kind of mess that calls for a real hero. Luckily, there’s one on hand and his name is Shrek. Full of all-new songs, great dancing and breathtaking scenery, Shrek The Musical is part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun for everyone. Shrek The Musical opened at the 5th Avenue Theatre in Seattle in August 2008 and premiered on Broadway in December. Directed by Jason Moore (Avenue Q) and choreographed by Josh Prince, the production featured Brian D’Arcy James (Next To Normal, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), Sutton Foster (Little Women, Anything Goes), Christopher Sieber (Spamalot, Thoroughly Modern Millie), John Tartaglia (Avenue Q, Beauty and the Beast) and Daniel Breaker (Passing Strange, Cymbeline). At

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Re-tooled roster loses two to Langley Eric J. Welsh, The Progress For the first time in his BCHL coaching career, Chilliwack Chiefs general manager Harvey Smyl was the seller, peddling his wares at last week’s trade deadline. Three deals saw Austin Plevy, Cooper Rush and Shay Laurent leave town with Mason Boh, Caleb Thompson and future considerations coming in. League wide, there were 19 transactions last week involving 28 skaters. “I think we’re all breathing a little easier this week now that that’s out of the way, but now we have to scramble to find some points,” Smyl said. Smyl got his first upclose look at his new players during a weekend home-and-home versus Langley. Boh, an 18-year-old forward, donned jersey No. 16 and played sparingly in an energy role. “He’s in a new league with a new team, and he’s still a young player,” Smyl said. “But he works hard, skates well and shoots well and he’s got a good mind for the game. He’ll get better and better.” Thompson, a blueliner picked up from Prince George, wore David Bondra’s old No. 12 and played as advertised. “Caleb’s pretty sound defensively and makes pretty good decisions with the puck,” Smyl assessed. “And he’s a solid, tough kid to play against.” A third newcomer wasn’t acquired by

trade. Wearing David Thompson’s old No. 5, Coquitlam native Daniel DelBianco suited up on the revamped D. Plucked away from the junior B Port Moody Panthers, the 19 year old made his return to the BCHL. Prior to this year, DelBianco logged 58 games between the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, Trail Smoke Eaters and Surrey Eagles. “He was really doing well in Port Moody and hopefully he can be one of those guys who just gets better and better,” Smyl said. “He’s very gifted offensively and put up some big numbers in junior B (29-1914-33).” If you include Cody Bardock, Smyl’s defensive corps now includes four players who weren’t on the opening day roster. He needs them to mesh super quick. “Unfortunately we don’t have the luxury of time to work guys in slowly,” Smyl said. “We need to force-feed some things and not just let things happen.” On the ice, none of the newcomers made an appreciable difference against Langley. The Chiefs lost 5-0 Friday and 5-2 in the Saturday night rematch, slipping to 10-29-1-3 on the season. “Langley’s a very good and deep team, an older group that’s pretty sound defensively,” Smyl said of a Rivermen squad that’s beaten his Chiefs in all but one of their meetings this year. “I thought we played pretty well at times but not well enough.”

New Chilliwack Chief Mason Boh (right) made his home ice debut Saturday night in a 5-2 loss to Will Cook’s Langley Rivermen. Boh was acquired from the Brooks Bandits in exchange for Austin Plevy. ERIC WELSH/ PROGRESS

Chilliwack’s now 12 points back of Surrey for the final Mainland division playoff spot, with the Eagles still holding one game in hand. The Chiefs have just 15 regular season games remaining. While four of those are against the Eagles, playoff odds have officially been downgraded to dismal. The Chiefs are back at it this weekend with another home-andhome. They’re in Coquitlam Friday and host the Express Saturday night at Prospera Centre. Game time is 7 p.m.

Gillies BCHL’s best in CSB rankings The National Hockey League’s Central Scouting Bureau released its mid-term rankings this week, with eight BCHL skaters and two goalies making the list. Salmon Arm forward Alex Gillies is the highest rated BCHLer, checking in at No. 102 among North American skaters. When combined with the

European skater list, that would project him into the fifth or sixth round. West Kelowna Warriors forward Jason Cotton is next at No. 118 followed by Penticton Vees D-man Brett Beauvais at No. 134. Fellow Vee Jack Ramsey checks in at No. 151. Vernon’s Mason Blacklock is No. 158 followed by Merritt’s

Jeff Wight (No. 183) and Vernon’s Demico Hannoun (No. 185). Powell River D-man Luke Ripley is on the CSB radar, but isn’t assigned a rank due to ‘limited viewing.’ Victoria Grizzly Alec Dillon is the No. 26 North American goaltender followed by Penticton stopper Hunter Miska (No. 32). Get the full list at nhl.com.

The latest CJHL national top 20 includes three BCHL teams. The Victoria Grizzlies hold steady at No. 8 in the latest rankings, followed by the Penticton Vees at No. 9. The Powell River Kings are in at No. 11 and the Langley Rivermen get an honourable mention. Released every Monday, the rankings are based on league strength, winning percentage, win-loss record, total points accumulated, goals-for versus goals-against ratio, etc. Get the full rankings at cjhlhockey.com

Some are easy.

The University of the Fraser Valley womenâ€™s basketball team split weekend games in Manitoba. The Cascades were victims of an upset loss Friday, falling 77-74 in overtime to the Winnipeg Wesmen. Heavy favourites coming in, UFV led for all but 15 seconds of regulation time. The Cascades had a 53-35 lead late in the third

quarter, but their shooting went stone-cold in the fourth quarter. The Wesmen outscored UFV 20-7 down the stretch and 15-12 in OT to complete to comeback. â€œWinnipeg did what Winnipeg does. They got on a roll and rode the emotional wave to a great victory for them,â€? said Cascades coach Al Tuchscherer. â€œWe did what we wanted to do for about 28 minutes, and then we couldnâ€™t match their passion.â€? Chilliwack native Nicole Wierks led UFV with 21 points and nine rebounds. Fellow Chilliwackian Cour tney Bar tel drained 13 points, adding five steals. Stephanie Kleyson

led the Wesmen with 20 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. The women bounced back Saturday, cruising to an 85-68 win over the Manitoba Bisons. UFV led from the third minute to the final whistle. The shooting was much better, with the Cascades hitting on 31 of 60 from the floor and 8 of 18 from three-point range. Chilliwackâ€™s Kayli Sartori had three three pointers in the opening half en-route to a teamhigh 18 points. Wierks added 12 points and Kaitlyn Brink (Abbotsford) drained 10. Bisons sharp shooter Robin Eyer had a game high 19 points, includ-

ing five-of-seven from beyond the arc. â€œThis was a more focused effort tonight from ever yone,â€? Tuchscherer said. â€œOffensively we really did some nice things in the first half and it was important for us to get back in the win column.â€? At 8-4, UFV continues to hold down first place in the Canada West Pacific division, but three teams are nipping at their heels. Thompson Rivers, UBC and Victoria are all 7-5. The women are in Kamloops this weekend for back to back games against the TRU Wolfpack. See ufvcascades.ca for more.

Falcons break through against Lions The Sardis Falcons earned a big homecourt win Monday night, edging the Yale Lions 85-79. Big man Hayden Lejeune led the way with 25 points.

Smith Nora Kathleen

Hebert, Barbara Barbara passed away peacefully at Cascade Hospice on January 2, 2014 after a short battle with cancer. She was born in Boxey Newfoundland on September 23, 1941 to Conrad and Sarah Blagdon. She moved to Chilliwack in 1978. She was predeceased by her first husband, Paul Hebert; her parents and stepfather. She will be greatly missed by her husband, John; siblings Rene, Jane and Merrill (Pearl); her sons, Dennis (Karen), Dean (Serea); step children, Lizette, Kathleen, Craig (Sarah); grandchildren Dalen, Sarah-Jane, Devin, Marissa; step grandchildren Melissa, Sarah and Connor. Thank you to all the nurses and staff at CGH and the Cascades Hospice. Special thanks to Dr. Page and Dr Bull. There will be a memorial service January 29 at Branch 280 Vedder Legion at 1:30pm. In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Nora Kathleen Smith passed away peacefully at Chilliwack General Hospital on December 24, 2013 in her 94th year. She was born May 11, 1920 in Sheerness, England. She married Bill Smith in 1942 and their daughter Pamela was born in 1944. In 1947, Nora, Bill, his father William Sr. and Pam immigrated to Canada, settling in Chilliwack. Leaving behind family and friends was hard and being in a new country was a hardship at first. Soon though, they were established, and without family, made lots of friends that they cherished. Daughter Barbara was born in 1953 and was a lovely addition to our small family. Many years of camping trips and picnics and family fun followed. Bill passed away December 1986 and Barbara died in a car accident in 1988. In 1989, Nora married Kenneth Garner, and continued to live in Chilliwack and have a busy life. Ken passed in 2006. Nora is survived by her daughter Pamela Reichelt and husband Robert, her sister, Sheila in California and sisters, Stella and Jo in England; step children and step grandchildren. Nora was an extremely generous and caring person who loved family get togethers and fun. She enjoyed knitting, crossword puzzles, reading and loved her dogs. She danced with the Happy Tappers in her 80’s and was active in Eastern Star Lodge- taking her turn as Worth Matron. Thank you to the staff at Norman Manor, the Fraser Health Care aides and the staff on the 4th floor of the hospital for their excellent care of Mom. A special thank you to Dr. Gordon Enns for his compassion and kindness. There is no service by request.

Catch Basin Cleaning

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Glen Stevenson on Wednesday, January 8, at Chilliwack General Hospital. Glen was born in Cumberland, B.C. and worked as a cook in various work camps in northern B.C. He is survived by his wife, Anne Reimer, his siblings Carol, Mary, Isabel and Dave, and the many members of the extended Reimer and Stevenson families. Glen is pre-deceased by his parents, Robert and Isabel, and his brothers Bob and Al. Glen will be remembered for his devotion to his wife Anne and his kind personality. After his marriage to Anne and his retirement, Glen spent many enjoyable hours demonstrating his varied handyman skills in projects at their home on Second Avenue in Chilliwack. Anne wishes to give special thanks to nurse Ann and Dr. Chris at Chilliwack General Hospital for their caring and compassion during Glen’s final days. On line condolences may be left at www.hendersonsfunerals.com,

NOW HIRING:

Born August 3, 1930 in Chilliwack B.C., Doug lost his short battle with cancer at Royal Inland Hospital on December 11, 2013, with his wife at his side. Lovingly remembered by his wife of 60 years, Irene Jones; sons Brad (Sandy) Jones, Rick (Liz) Jones, and Larry Jones; grandchildren Dean Jones, Darrell (Sara) Jones, Michael (Melisa) Jones, Mark (Charlotte) Jones, Holly Jones, Morgan Jones, Hilary Jones, and Leah Jones; great-grandchildren Brooke, Riley, Reese, Parker, Kaydance and Camden as well as numerous nieces, nephews and friends. Doug was predeceased by his mother Mary and father Sidney Jones; brothers Ron Jones, Clayton Jones, and Bob Jones; sister Velma Bittner, niece Bonnie Bittner and nephew Cecil Bittner. Doug grew up in Chilliwack raising dairy cows and Percheron horses. The Jones family showed their Percherons in Chilliwack B.C., Puyallup and Linden, Washington. This passion for horses flowed through his life. Doug married Irene in April 1953. Doug and Irene moved from the dairy farm in Chilliwack to “The Ranch” at Forest Grove, B.C. in 1965 with their three boys. While raising cattle at the ranch, Doug also worked at the 108 Golf Course for over 20 years. Throughout this time, Doug had many fond memories driving stagecoach and giving sleigh rides. His passion for horses led to the “Ride of a Lifetime” experience, driving a team of horses and wagon from 100 Mile House, B.C. to Vancouver, B.C. for EXPO 86. Doug was a chartered member of the 94 Lions Club in Forest Grove. In 1994, Doug and Irene sold the Ranch. In their retirement, they enjoyed a number of RV tours of the northwestern United States and the Canadian prairies before finally settling in Kamloops, B.C. Doug will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him. A celebration of life will be held at the Valley Room in 100 Mile House on Sunday, May 18, 2014 at 10:00 a.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Royal Inland Hospital.
