Class size a local issue, ministry says
■ O N T HE G REEN
Katie Bartel The Progress The provincial government won’t get involved with province-wide concerns over shop class sizes – despite its current push for an increased interest in careers in trades. In an emailed statement to The Progress, the Ministry of Education outlined several initiatives for boosting youth interest in trades careers, but stated that “conversations on specific class sizes are determined at the local level between teachers, principals, and district superintendents.” According to the Ministry of Jobs, Tourism and Skills Training, one of its key goals is to increase the number of students going directly into trades and technical training after graduation by 50 per cent – from 4,000 to 6,000 annually. In that, it’s working on several initiatives, including one that specifically targets middle school aged students. The ministry’s comments follow revelations made last week in The Progress that award-winning industrial education teacher Eric Munshaw was resigning. After years of trying to advocate for better safety practices, he said he’d lost confidence in the education system. His story generated province-wide attention with other media outlets, including interviews with CBC, CKNW and Global News. As well, as of Wednesday, The Progress website had 57 comments from concerned teachers, parents, and past students from around the province. Munshaw thinks the ministry’s response is a missed opportunity. Without enough equipment and supervision to accommodate overcrowded classrooms, the province is in fact losing students, he said. For years, shop classes ranged between 20 and 24 students in rooms designed for 24 work stations. But because class size regulations were never officially stipulated, when Bill 33 was passed by the Ministry of Education in 2009, the number of students increased across the province.

New transit line to ‘transform lives’ Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Implications of the new Fraser Valley express bus are just starting to sink in for Chilliwack. It means Chilliwack residents will be able to board a bus heading for Langley, and then onto Vancouver, starting in early 2015. Chilliwack resident Michelle Creedy said the news about a new transit option to Langley will change her life. “It means that I can now look for jobs in other communities and not have to worry about
relocating because I’m blind and can’t drive,” Creedy tells The Progress. “It means that I’ll be able to go into the city and volunteer at Canuck Place or any other place I want to.” Abbotsford mayor Bruce Banman used his executive privilege as mayor recently to bring back the express bus issue for reconsideration at the council level, and it passed, after it was voted down the first time around. Transit riders will be able to get to points west from the Carvolth transit exchange in Langley.
“It opens up my world in a way that is so freeing,” said Creedy. “I’ve always felt very stuck in Chilliwack and the job market here for blind people isn’t that great but I enjoy living out here.” As a reporter for Accessible Media, she actually missed out on work this week because the Greyhound was so late getting to Chilliwack that she missed her appointments. Chilliwack has been onboard since the idea was first discussed, said Mayor Sharon Gaetz. The clear benefits of the
route from Chilliwack’s perspective include: providing alternatives to driving, as well as establishing links and access for thousands of UFV students travelling between campuses, and the chance to have incoming visitors from other communities into Chilliwack. “It’s something our constituents have been asking for a very long time,” said Gaetz. “I can’t tell you how excited I am that it is happening. I only wish the vote had been unanimous in Abbotsford.” Continued: BUS/ p4

NEB opens Kinder Morgan hearing sign-up Jeff Nagel Black Press Neighbours and others concerned about the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain oil pipeline now have until noon Feb. 12 to apply to participate in upcoming National Energy Board hearings. Environmental groups and Burnaby NDP MP Kennedy Stewart have complained that the window of time to sign up is too short and the process to apply online at www.neb-one.gc.ca is too onerous. To apply online, applicants must create a government log-in account or else use an existing one with a financial institution, or ask to get a form by mail. Participation in NEB hearings is now limited to people directly affected by a project or who have relevant information or expertise. “The daunting application process seems set up to deter people from participating,” said Caitlyn Vernon of the Sierra Club. Applicants must indicate they will speak to one of 12 issues the NEB has listed that it will consider, including environmental risks of the pipeline or tanker traffic to B.C. The NEB says it won’t consider the environmental and socio-economic effects of upstream activities, the development of Alberta’s oil sands or the downstream use of the oil transported by the pipeline. Kinder Morgan filed its formal 15,000-page project application with the NEB last month and is promised an answer within 15 months – unlike the Northern
Gateway pipeline process that spanned four years. The $5.4-billion expansion would nearly triple the existing pipeline’s capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day. If approved, 400 oil tankers a year would sail through Vancouver harbour, up from about 60 now.
The proposed pipeline route largely parallels the existing 60-year-old pipeline through much of the Fraser Valley, including Chilliwack, but diverts away from heavily developed areas of Surrey, Coquitlam and Burnaby by instead following transportation rights-ofway.
Belcarra Mayor Ralph Drew, who has pressed Kinder Morgan for improvements to spill response safeguards, said his municipality will apply for intervenor status. The Metro Vancouver board has not yet decided how it will be involved.
Hikers along the new Rotary Peach Trail survey where the existing Kinder Morgan TransMountain pipeline crosses the Vedder River. Plans are to twin the pipeline, nearly tripling its capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day. The deadline to participate in upcoming National Energy Board hearings is Feb. 12.
Bitumen floats at sea, government study finds Tom Fletcher Black Press A new federal government study has found that diluted bitumen floats in sea water, except when it is mixed with some types of sediment, which can make it heavy enough to sink. The study used laboratory simulations of two common types of crude produced from the Alberta oilsands, and salt water tanks that approximated wave action. The behaviour of diluted bitumen in water was one of the key issues in the Northern Gateway
pipeline hearings, which led to a recommendation in December that the twin pipeline from northern Alberta to oil tanker port facilities should be allowed to proceed. The federal government has funded an oceanbased study of spilled bitumen as part of its shipping safety program, launched in the 2012 budget and now labelled the “World Class Initiative.” There are no studies or records of actual diluted bitumen spills at sea available. The laboratory study by Environment Canada, Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Natural Resources reached two major conclusions:
An oil tanker is guided beneath the Second Narrows Bridge. BLACK PRESS FILE
HUGE
“Like conventional crude oil, both diluted bitumen products floated on saltwater (free of sediment) even after evaporation and exposure to light and mixing with water; “When fine sediments were suspended in the saltwater, high-energy wave action mixed the sediments with the diluted bitumen, causing the mixture to sink or be dispersed as floating tarballs.” The study also looked at the 2010 spill of diluted bitumen from an Enbridge pipeline rupture into the Kalamazoo River in Michigan, where the heavy oil was carried nearly 100 kilometres downstream and between 10 and 20 per cent of it mixed with sediments and sank. While floating oil is easier to recover, a study commissioned by the B.C. government last year found that the existing oil spill response system for B.C.’s north coast would only be able to recover three to four per cent of it. NDP critics seized on the finding that diluted bitumen sinks when combined with sediment. “There is no longer any doubt that the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline poses an unacceptable risk to northwest communities and the environment,” said NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert, who has been touring the region.

The Chilliwack RCMP are investigating six separate incidents of rock throwing. The RCMP got three reports Monday night of rocks being hucked from a moving vehicle. In the 5,900 block of Garrison Boulevard, a pedestrian was hit in the face, requiring stitches to close a cut near his eye. Soon after, a house in the 45,000 block of Watson Road was hit, with rocks breaking two window panes. Ten minutes later, a business in the 5,700 block of Vedder Road had a window broken, causing $1,200 in damage. There were previous reports over the last several weeks, all on the south side of Chilliwack, that are believed to be related. The RCMP are looking for a light-brown, four-door sedan, possibly a Volvo. “We are taking these incidents very seriously,” said Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen. “Throwing rocks, or any other items from vehicles, is potentially very dangerous and has caused harm to an innocent victim. This is a very serious issue.” Anyone with info is asked to call the RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477 (TIPS).
Police look for leads in fast food robberies The Chilliwack RCMP is investigating two fast food restaurant robberies. The first one happened Sunday morning around 7 a.m. at a restaurant in the 45,000 block of Yale Road. The second happened Monday morning, around the same time, at a restaurant in the 45,000 block of 1st Avenue. In both cases, the male suspect was described as six feet tall with a medium build, wearing a black hoody, black jeans and dark shoes. The man had his face covered and had a weapon. Anyone with info is asked to phone the Chilliwack RCMP at 604-792-4611 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

Advantages will be increased accessibility for those with mobility challenges or who do not drive, as well as the environmental impact of reducing the number of vehicles on the road, and therefore reducing emissions and greenhouse gases, she noted. The bus fare for the new Fraser Valley Express has yet to be determined. “The biggest concern I’ve heard so far is the cost of the new service. Rest assured that is something we are negotiating and working on. It’s in our best interests to make this affordable,” Gaetz said. Different fare scenarios are being considered with the mid-range option at about $7 for a one-way fare, she said. From an economic development point of view, the new bus service will be one more advantage to offer businesses and employers seeking to relocate, said

CEPCO president Brian Coombes. “From the perspective of CEPCO, it will definitely have a positive impact,” he said. “Increasingly people looking for a community to call home want both an accessible and a livable community, and transit is a part of that. They look for factors like these that will appeal to their workforce.” Chilliwack is already livable, Coombes said, and the new regional bus makes it even more so. It also enhances the expanded transit system within Chilliwack itself. “If you look at it as a package, there are lots of improvements.” The implications for tourism bode well. As the former head of Tourism Chilliwack, he said he can attest to the calls they would field from people wanting to see all the beauty the area has to offer. “For the tourists in Vancouver and beyond who would like to come into Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley, this provides a scheduled public transit option for them,” he said. The Abbotsford council approval came on the heels of earlier votes in favour by Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley Regional District, for a long-awaited express route through the valley. There are so many benefits stacking up. It will also mean better access to regional health services in other communities as well as the justice system with the law courts in Abbotsford, Gaetz noted. The Fraser Valley Express will have a fleet of six buses, with an estimated ridership of 137,000, and a cost of about $1.5 million. Chilliwack’s share will be $300,000, Abbotsford will pay $500,000 and BC Transit $700,000.

Safety concerns worth a closer look, says new school trustee SAFETY from Front Bill 33, among other things, enabled class size in grades 4-7 to exceed 30 students with teacher consent, and in grades 8-12 with teacher consultation. Munshaw calls that practice questionable. Some teachers, he said, feel pressured into agreeing to larger class sizes regardless of safety. “We’re kneecapping the education system,” he said. “We’ve got classes so loaded, kids
are lining up, they’re frustrated, they’re bored because they can’t get onto the equipment. We’re dumbing down the educational experience to the point kids don’t want to pursue it.” He doesn’t understand why the provincial government and district policy makers won’t take action. “Trades is the economic driver for our province – it would be stupid not to support it,” he said. Munshaw’s actions have got the attention of
at least one Chilliwack school trustee. Newly elected school trustee Dan Coulter, who, himself, was paralyzed from the waist down in a workplace accident, and who ran on a platform of both trades, and class size and composition, intends to investigate the concerns further. “I’d hate to see safety

An overdue apology The province wants us all in on the apology it plans to make to B.C.’s Chinese community for a litany of historical wrongs imposed on it by past B.C. governments. In crafting the wording of the apology, the provincial government is holding seven forums across B.C. to gather public input, including one in Burnaby, and the minister responsible for making the apology, Theresa Wat, says she wants all British Columbians to participate. The apology is a long time coming. Despite the contribution Chinese people made to building this country, they were treated as less than second-class citizens by many, including many in the general public, numerous businesses and the provincial government. More than 100 pieces of discriminatory legislation and regulation against the Chinese community were passed in the 1800s and early to mid-1900s, including restrictions on employment, voting, ability to hold public office and land ownership, as well as exorbitant taxes based on ethnicity and restrictive licensing and regulation. Chinese people were not even allowed full citizenship until 1947. But, for many, the racism did not stop then. So, it’s fitting that the community should be asked to provide input into the apology the province plans to make. What’s needed now is to hear clearly from the Chinese community itself about what it expects in terms of an apology. Throwing it open to the public in 2014 may generate helpful input but it should not be allowed to blunt the apology with the excuse that the sins of the father should not be put on the son. B.C. needs to step up and address its racist past. ~ Black Press
L OCALLY G LOBAL
Time to lift the muzzle on scientific research Some 90 per cent of federal scientists cannot speak freely. Seventy-one per cent agree that the ability to develop policy, law, and programs that are based on scientific evidence and facts has been compromised by political interference. About 24 per cent of our public service scientists have been asked, for non-scientific reasons, to exclude or alter technical information or their conclusions in a federal government document. In the past five years, 37 per cent of scientists, when asked a question by the public or the media on a topic on which they have the expertise to answer, have been prevented from doing so by federal public relations or management. In November 2007, Environment Canada floated a media relations policy in which all requests for interviews with scientists had to be coordinated by communications staff. No longer could scientists
and researchers freely share their findings with the public or journalists. Pre-approval from government media relations departments (i.e. spin doctors) was required and in an almost Or wellian style scientists have been accompanied at interviews by media relations staff. Are our scientists being muzMargaret zled? Yes. And badly. EVANS These alarming statistics are contained in a survey conducted by the Environics Research Group and commissioned by The Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada, the largest union representing scientists and other professionals in Canada. . The survey entitled The Big Chill, Silencing Public Interest Science,
was released late last year and represented the responses of 4,069 members. “Significantly, half of federal scientists (50 per cent) report being aware of actual cases in which the health and safety of Canadians or environmental sustainability has been compromised because of political interference with their scientific work,” the report stated. “Nearly half (48 per cent) are aware of actual cases in which their department or agency suppressed information, leading to incomplete, inaccurate, or misleading impressions by the public, regulated industry, the media, and/or government officials.” Last week, the CBC’s Fifth Estate aired an explosive documentary Silence of the Labs that portrayed shocking stories of the dismissal of scientists and cancellation of entire research and science programs of vital concern to Canadians. “They highlighted, in gripping

detail, the threat faced by science under the current government,” said Dr. Tom Duck, associate professor, Department of Physics and Atmospheric Science, Dalhousie University. “The story told by marine toxicologist Peter Ross was incredibly compelling. His dismissal, and the elimination of the entire Marine Contaminants Program at Fisheries and Oceans Canada (55 people!) should be cause of concern for all Canadians. How is it possible that Canada is no longer monitoring contaminants in its coastal waters?” Duck co-founded the worldrenowned Polar Environment Atmospheric Research Laboratory (PEARL) that suffered drastic budget cuts in 2012. A tiny grant was re-instated in 2013 ($5 million over five years) but it was insufficient to save the research. The station closed and the research group left. In the past five years, the feds have dismissed over 2,000 sci-

entists, moth-balled hundreds of programs and crippled worldrenowned research facilities because of lost funding. “What the CBC presented was the tip of the iceberg,” said Duck. “The elimination of scientific capabilities has occurred across the federal government and also at our universities. Both Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Environment Canada have been badly damaged. The National Research Council (NRC) is a complete disaster. The government’s muzzling of scientists is by now well known, and is intolerable in a democratic society.” He emphasized that this isn’t politics as usual. This is a crisis and will be felt by Canadians for generations to come. “We are now apparently entering a new age of governing in the dark. It is time to turn on the light.”

Action needed on crowded classes Re: Safety concerns prompt teacher’s resignation, (Chilliwack Progress, Jan. 10). Class sizes are rising, yet the number of teachers are not. Some classes are now reaching 30 plus students per class. It’s giving students an unfair account of learning, less one on one time, and teachers are always dealing with someone else in the room. Mr. Munshaw’s situation is just one example. Change happens from the bottom up, and until the school district acts on this we will continue to lose some
of our best teachers. We have plenty of teachers available to be hired full time, but it’s not wanting to pay their wages that’s the problem. Mr. Munshaw had more of a reason than just giving students equal time at learning. It isn’t safe to have an overflowing amount of students in a shop class. We need to pay attention to what’s best for the student’s education and safety, rather than money. At Sardis secondary we have three counsellors for almost 1,500 students, amounting to 500
students per counsellor. It’s not only the number of students per class in shop classes that needs to be changed, but the amount of students in any class as well as the amount of assistant learning teachers and counsellors per students. Mr. Munshaw and others have been raising awareness for some time now, and nothing has changed. More of the community needs to take action. Julia Kilbrai Chilliwack
Saying good-bye to a great teacher The recent media sur rounding Mr. Munshaw’s resignation certainly got my attention (Safety concerns prompt teacher’s resignation, Progress, Jan. 10). Mr. Munshaw defines integrity. He is an honest man with strong moral principles.
His passion, dedication, work ethic and genuine concern for his students support this. He talks about himself as a teacher who sands and saws, but he is much more than that. Igniting a love for wood and a creative outlet for my son led
him to compete nationally in high school woodworking. I am grateful for a well-rounded young man who has a valuable skill and is now a university engineering student. I believe Mr. Munshaw played a role in this process. Mr. Munshaw wants to teach his students
life long skills in a safe learning environment. Isn’t that what we all want for our children? Saying goodbye to a teacher who recently received a lifetime achievement award from the BC Technology Education Association doesn’t feel right. C. Rosenburg
Lobby role carries perception of conflict No one begrudges Chuck Strahl opening a lobbying business in Chilliwack. It is, after all, what retired politicians seem to do in order to supplement their meagre pensions. The fact that there are rules applied by the ethics commissioner point to the fact that certain types of lobbying are improper. The fact that these rules are easy to bypass reflect the fact that it is the politicians themselves that made the rules. The ethics commissioner has apparently advised Mr. Strahl that he is not in violation of any rules around lobbying. While, as a former MP (and indeed cabinet
minister) he is not permitted to lobby the federal government, he is apparently allowed to lobby provincial governments. His lobbying on behalf of Enbridge is tantamount to lobbying on behalf of the federal government (as the federal government is totally committed to the Enbridge project), but again not in violation of any rules. More problematic is Mr. Strahl’s role as the chair of the Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC) which oversees Canada’s spy agency CSIS. Paul Gauthier, a former chair of SIRC, says it is not a good idea for someone in that position to be a lobbyist.
It is particularly disturbing that CSIS has been actively spying on groups opposed to Enbridge’s Northern Gateway Pipeline and as chair of SIRC, Mr. Strahl would have access to those files. We may agree that Mr. Strahl’s personal integrity would prevent him from sharing SIRC information with Enbridge, the fact that this possibility even exists presents an unacceptable conflict. Mr. Strahl should either step down from his position with SIRC or stop lobbying on behalf of Enbridge.

removal. If they are dying or dead they need to be removed for safety reasons. What would come

Grow-op funds crime prevention Two Abbotsford residents have lost their house following an RCMP drug bust. The bust happened in August of 2011, with the RCMP’s crime reduction unit going in to investigate theft of hydro (electricity) at a house in the 41000 block of Majuba Hill Road in Chilliwack. RCMP confirmed the theft of electricity, which was being used to run a grow-op. Charges were laid against the two Abbotsford residents. Two months later, civil forfeiture proceedings were filed in the Chilliwack registry of the BC
Supreme Court. In April 2012 the house was forfeited and sold for $480,000 with much of that funneled towards the funding of crime prevention grants across the province. “The wheels of justice may take their time turning but they do indeed turn, and to a great loss for criminals,” said RCMP Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen. “Civil forfeitures are a very effective tool to combat criminal activity and all property used in criminal enterprise can be subject to forfeiture. So criminals beware. Your behavior may not only cost you jail time but your property as well.”

Thank You to our
Amazing Community! M Murray Honda H d would ld like lik to sincerely i l thank h k the Chilliwack community for making our first Coat Drive a HUGE success. Together with you and our new coat and marketing sponsors, we were able to distribute 975 new and gently used coats from Chilliwack to Hope and every community in between. We distributed hundreds of brand new winter coats to local children and with the help of our community were able to get just as many gently used coats to shelters and non-profit groups. Together we helped those most in need and we once again thank you for your support.

New civic group looks to increase involvement Jennifer Feinberg The Progress The inaugural meeting of ACT Chilliwack on Tuesday drew 23 people to Decades to talk about civic issues like the state of the downtown, said organizer Jennifer Woodroff. There are no plans to run a slate of candidates in the upcoming municipal election, nor is there interest in provincial or federal elections either, she said.
The goal is helping out elected officials in constructive ways. “We also want to enhance local democracy by involving more people in the process,” she said. Of the 23 who showed up, several were youth which is positive, she said. “We seek authentic dialogue; a platform for the free exchange of ideas and opinions,” Woodroff said. “These are achievable goals
and we hope we are able to move toward realizing them through

Chilliwack secondary brings back the cars The Progress A long-lost tradition is getting new life breathed into it at Chilliwack secondary. After a more than 10-year hiatus, the school is bringing back its grad car tradition – except this time, it won’t be a car for the grads, but rather a car for the entire school. Tricked out at the hands of the Grade 12 girls. “It’s gonna be so talked up,” said Grade 12 student Evelyn Appleton, who’s ready to get her hands dirty. “Everyone’s going to be so excited for it.” None more so than teacher Steve Anderson, who’s been waiting years to bring the cars back to CSS. “It’s something that we had that Sardis didn’t – it’s our thing,” said
Anderson. The original concept was started in 1996 when Anderson stumbled on a group of Grade 12 girls grumbling about how the guys get all the fun, how they get a grad car, and the girls don’t. Without missing a beat, Anderson asked if they, too, wanted a grad car. “Instantly their mood changed,” he recalled. For months Anderson and the girls worked on their car in secret, using code words in the halls, including “hotdog” for the car and “barbecue” for the restoration. They secured parts, tires, manpower, and body shop space through local businesses and hot rod enthusiasts. They detailed it, sanded it, painted it. And on the day the Grade 12 boys revealed their car, a 1965 Cadillac Hearse, on the front lawn,
the girls drove up in theirs – a 1980 Chevy Malibu, painted in the same blue as the boys with yellow and gold flames licking the hood and “Chix of ’96” painted on the side. Thus, the tradition was born. There was Rev ’N Girls of ’97, Ladies of ’80, Oh So Fine ’99, and Rousin Girls of 2000. Shortly after, however, despite the years of fanfare it had received, the battle of the sexes tradition was phased out. But, for Anderson, it was never forgotten. Unbeknownst to others, Anderson had hidden away a car for years with the intent of resurrecting the tradition. And the new school, with the amped up student spirit, revved that engine. “It’s time to take back our community,” said Anderson. “It’s time to show we’re here.”

Late last month Anderson got on the horn with the original crew of local businesses, body shops, parts dealers, hot rod enthusiasts, plus a few others, who all jumped on board. The car, a 1988, 4-door, Cadillac, hard top, will be painted in traditional CSS blue and gold colours, with metallic flames, CSS Rocks painted on, and other in-your-face accents. “It’s going to have major ‘wow!’ appeal,” said Anderson. But this time will be different. The Grade 12 girls, a group of about eight or 10, will still be the ones at the helm, but the car won’t be there’s, it will be the school’s. And the finished product won’t be revealed at grad time, as was the case years ago, but rather, for the school’s official grand opening on Feb. 28.

The plan for the car is to use it as an incentive for students, raffle off opportunities to be chauffeured to dances in the vehicle. And use it as a rallying point within the community, in parades, school fundraisers, etc.. Anderson believes it’s going to make the school stronger, tapping into its roots and traditions, and building on them. And for the girls working on the car, they believe it’s going to forever ingrain their names into their school. “It’s a boat; I love it,” said Grade 12 student Hannah Hughes. “It’s going to make a huge name for our new school.” And given the current grads were born in the year of the first car showcase in 1996, the tradition has come full circle. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

Welcome to the driver’s seat
This hi new Q50 llooks k great, has a wonderful interior, power to spare and solid handling dynamics. Zack Spencer
Visit the Q50 photo gallery at DrivewayBC.ca
2014 Infiniti Q50 challenges the old order Infiniti has had a bit of an identity crisis over the past year with a wholesale change in the way it names its products. Gone is the JX crossover, it’s called the QX60 now and the G 37 sedan has been replaced with the Q50 sedan. Q signifies for cars and QX for crossovers or SUVs. The outgoing G37 was already a very worthy on-road performer but a bit too simplistic in the inside. Now, Infiniti has taken things up a notch with the Q50, adding a dynamic look, sumptuous interior and class leading technology. Looks It could be argued that the current BMW 3 Series and Mercedes C-Class are a bit conservative, while this Q50 and the major competitor, Lexus IS, are much edgier. This is especially true with the front grille. The rest of the Q50 is nicely sculpted, with flowing lines and an almost elegant rear end. Sold as a base model, sport trim, all wheel drive (AWD), premium, and even a hybrid, there is a broad market for this sedan. Starting at $37,500 and ramping up to the AWD sport model at $49,950, there is a substantial discount with the Q50 when you compare it to a similarly equipped BMW. The base model comes with 17-inch wheels but most of the higher trim levels are equipped with 19-inch wheels. The car seen here is the AWD premium model starting at $43,400. Inside The Q50 centre console is very attractive with two screens placed for radio functions and the second for the

The which is a good choice way the lower screen is due to the higher level incorporated is first rate; of interior amenities. it looks like a high quality In addition, the Q50 is iPad that sits flush with the first car to have a the dash, while the higher steer-by-wire system screen is recessed for easier that is customizable and use in bright light. this system is optional Direct Adaptive The only problem with on the AWD models and Steering has its this system is the time it standard on the sport takes to boot-up when critics but for me, the versions of the Q50. you start the car over 30 Direct Adaptive Steering Q50 feels like it is seconds to access the radio has its critics but for an extension of the and other features.

handling dynamics. On price, the BMW 328i AWD is the closest and starts at $46,200 but is equipped with a 241hp 4-cylinder. The direct competitor on power is the much more expensive 335is AWD. The Lexus IS350 AWD is another premium offering from Japan, and it starts at a very competitive $44,000. As much as the Japanese automakers like to challenge the German makers, they really end up competing with each other. Yes, this is a worthy car but the one thing you cannot factor into the buying decision is the badge appeal that storied brands like Mercedes, BMW and Audi provide.

Safety Tip: When extreme winter road conditions hit, it’s a good idea to think about whether you even need to get behind the wheel. If you have the option, consider public transit or carpool with some who has a vehicle prepared for the conditions. Also consider leaving for work just a little later to allow crews to clear the roads.

Five fun coupes for singles
For just over $20K, the Kia Forte Koup is a solid value, says Alexandra Straub.
So, you’re not married. That’s okay! You don’t have kids? No worries. You pretty much have the pick of the litter when it comes to buying a car. Why? Because you don’t necessarily have specific requirements that need to be met when selecting a vehicle. Meaning, you don’t need to consider having a large enough backseat to fit car seats, unless you want a big back seat for other reasons. Like, you have a dog that weighs as much as
an adult. Or you don’t need four doors because you’re pretty much the only one going to be inside the cabin at any given time. Unless your profession requires you to haul around equipment or gear, you don’t have to buy a crossover, minivan, sedan or SUV if you don’t want to. That said, many singles I know decide to get something a little less “practical” in the grand scheme of things. Less practicality is usually spelled with five letters: coupe. So, to those individuals who

are the alpha of their oneperson wolf pack, here are a few coupes under $30K to consider. Honda Accord Coupe: Base MSRP $26,400 I’m starting off with the Accord because it’s a cool car. The current generation has so much going for it and definitely has developed more personality in the redesign. You have the option of two engines: a more economical 2.4L 4-cylinder or a more powerful 3.5L V6. Either way, you can get them equipped with a 6-speed manual or a CVT transmission. Only the EX-L Navi trim with the V6 has the option of a 6-speed automatic transmission. No matter how you slice it, you’re getting a great car. Better yet, it has a decent cargo capacity of 379L so you could easily dump your hockey gear inside. The interior is spacious and comfortable, and heck, it looks good. MINI Coupe/Roadster: Base MSRP $25,950/$28,900 With room for two, even the base model of MINI Coupe or Roadster is a hoot. Specs-wise, it has the least impressive engine of the lot (only putting out 121 horsepower,) but that can be overlooked because of via driving dynamics. It has one of the best manual gearboxes for a car of its size and has an abundance of pep. They’re not cheap, though. So it has that working against it in some regards. And you could argue that a Mazda MX-5 is a better value (you won’t be wrong) but it’s still loads of fun. Dodge Challenger: Base MSRP $26,995 If you’re driving a Dodge Challenger, you’re getting noticed. You don’t even need to have the grunt and roar of the SRT’s 6.4L V8 HEMI to turn heads. Inside and out, this two-door has

style and power. The base SXT trim comes equipped with a 3.6L V6 and 305 horsepower. Kia Forte Koup: Base MSRP $20,550 For just over $20K, the Kia Forte Koup is a solid value. And it’s not a bad looking car either. Inside, the interior is well finished and isn’t cheap. Furthermore, you have many great standard amenities that come with the base model like 16-inch alloy wheels, fog lights, heated front seats, remote keyless entry, air conditioning and more. VW GTI: Base MSRP $29,375 The 3-door VW GTI is one of my favourite cars. The frontwheel, German engineered bundle of excitement has poise and pizzazz, along with a fabulous interior and a tried and tested engine. What’s great about the GTI is that it works for all ages. You could be 16 and driving it, or 60, and you’d still look good. You wouldn’t look out of place and people would give you nods of approval. Granted, the current generation is on its way out and the seventh generation (2014 model year) is coming soon. So if you want a killer deal on a 2013, now’s about as good of a time as any. alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

A day never passes when I don’t see drivers zipping down major drags in the curb lane, cutting in at the last second to avoid piling into a parked car.

Off-road performance with on-road comforts and 3rd row 50/50 split fold flat reclining bench seat. The leather wrapped steering wheel is heated and is a nice feature. There is plenty of wood tone trim but it is not overdone, giving it a rich feel. Bose audio system with 13 speakers, AM/FM/CD, SiriusXM, auxiliary audio input jack, USB connection, streaming audio via Bluetooth, steering wheel mounted audio controls and speed sensitive volume control and just some of the comforts you will find in the Pathfinder Platinum. The around view monitor uses four cameras to create a composite image from above and displays it on the touch screen monitor. This helps show the vehicle’s position relative to the lines around the parking space and guides you in easily. Safety first: Nissan’s advanced airbag system include, dual stage front airbags, driver and front passenger seat mounted side impact, and roof mounted curtain side impact airbags with rollover sensor. Traction control (TSC) and vehicle dynamic control (VDC) are standard on all models. Power: The engine is a 2.5-litre 4 cylinder with a 15kw, power regenerating electric motor, powered by lithium-ion cells and a dual clutch system that transfers power from the electric motor and the engine. This system generates 250 hp. The transmission is Xtronic CVT (continuously variable transmission) The All-mode 4x4 I-system allows select ability between 2WD, Auto, or 4WD lock. An independent front strut and multilink rear gives the vehicle a comfortable ride. Pump frequency: 7.8/7.1 L/100 km (city/highway) as tested Warranty support: Basic coverage 3year/ 60,000 kms
It has the ability to drive down a gravel road or up to the ski hill but Nissan has made sure it is also as comfortable as a road car and as fuel-efficient as it can be.

The 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid is on a quest, to get your family where you need to go on as little fuel as possible. Looks: One of the biggest changes last year was the switch from body-on-frame to a unibody construction. This reduced the overall weight, which makes a big difference on the fuel economy. The shape and design characteristics of this truck have changed, much smoother lines, and more aerodynamic. I remember the first Pathfinder introduced in 1986 and aimed at capturing some of the Toyota 4runner buyers. It looked promising but never completely took off. I think the focus was more on the off-road when it should have been more on-road with the ability to travel off-road. This version has done this, taking design cues and comfort from the Nissan Rogue and creating a larger crossover capable of transporting seven. In The Cab: My tester was the Platinum edition. It came equipped with leather seats with 8 way power adjustability, 4 way power for the front passenger, EZ flex seating system with 2nd row 60/40 split fold-flat bench seat,
Powertrain 5 years/ 100,000 kms Corrosion surface 3 years/ 60,000 kms Roadworthy: This vehicle does remind me of the Nissan Rogue. It is larger but feels very similar and that’s a good thing. I think Nissan is heading in the right direction with this vehicle. If studies show limited use off-road, then why spend money making this an off-road vehicle? It has the ability to drive down a gravel road or up to the ski hill but Nissan has made sure it is also as comfortNEW HOURS!
able as a road car and as fuel-efficient as it can be. Verdict: I think Nissan thought outside of the box on this one and was not afraid to start fresh and create something new. Sticker price: S $29,998 S 4WD $31,998 SV 4WD $35,248 SL $35,698 SL 4WD $37,698 SV Hybrid $39,248 Platinum Premium Hybrid $42,098 Price as tested $50,893 ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca
There is plenty of wood tone trim in the Pathfinder, but it is not overdone.

pressive official FE rating of 7.8/5.4 L/100 km (city/ highway) with the manual transmission. Cruze has one of the roomiest cabins in the compact class. There’s also excellent fore-aft travel on the driver’s seat plus generous head room, making is a small car for big people. Adding to driver comfort, the steering wheel has both a tilt and telescopic feature, in all models. The trunk in a Cruze is also one of the largest in class and only slightly smaller than the VW Jetta. Top-notch safety features include 10 standard airbags, instead of the usual six fitted in its compact competitors. The extra occupant protection comes in the form of knee-airbags for the front passengers and side-impact airbags for the rear outboard passengers. The head curtain air bags in Cruze also provide rollover protection. A disturbingly high number of safety recalls (see list), however, might make one wonder about overall Cruze quality and safety. Cruze continued largely unchanged for the 2012 model year, other than adding touch-screen navigation and push-button start with keyless entry systems to the list of options available. An infotainment system, with Bluetooth streaming audio, was made standard on all but the base LS model, in 2013. A blind spot warning system was also a new optional safety feature. Consumer Reports list the Cruze as a “Recommended” vehicle buy and show it as having an average repair history. It’s currently the best selling compact car in Canada, made by a domestic auto maker.

Road hogs cause motoring mayhem on Texas autobahn
AUSTIN, TEXAS: Road hogs are a common sight at dusk here on the so-called Texas autobahn. I’m not talking about those crazy drivers transported by four-wheeled vehicles but those of the four-legged variety – boars! And just like the twolegged, lead-footed variety, the cloven-hoofed wild pigs cause crashes – four bad smashes on the first night that the high speed State Highway 130 toll road opened back in October 2012. Last week, I wrote about a drive on the no-speed limit autobahn from Munich to Berlin. The piece was prompted by the recent Insights West/Black Press poll about increasing speed limits on highways in BC. I just had to try out the North American equivalent of the autobahn with its 85 mph limit (approximately 137 km/h) and here are my observations. After driving a sporty Audi S6 on the toll highway from Austin on a day trip to San Antonio, I think there must have been more boars than cars on the route for long stretches. It was a lonely daytime drive in the S6 with very few cars passing in either direction. In terms of scenic interest, it is as disappointing as a mild chilli pepper in a bowl of Tex-Mex. It’s not that the tolls are

high on the 65-kilometre stretch I travelled on the 210-kilometre route – less than $10, under $30 for commercial trucks. It’s just that the 85 mph limit is just not fast enough to encourage people to use it for what is a fairly short distance between those two major centres. And that’s especially so, when the posted speed limit on the regular toll-free state highways was raised to 75 mph (120 km/h) shortly after the turnpike was opened. The main section is also well to the east of Austin so there was a trek before I could unleash the horses under the hood. It would help to hike the limit another 10 mph (16 km/h): It’s a very well-engineered road and I can’t see that causing carnage. At the risk of attracting the interest of a Texan posse bent on a hanging, I might suggest that a reduction of the limit in the same magnitude on the regular highways might dramatically increase custom along the way. The only positive I can say is that I maintained the top legal speed for the length of the trip, which, as I reported last week, was impossible on the congested no-speed limit autobahn between Munich and Berlin. The growing network of toll roads in central Texas may have the highest speed limits in the nation but unless they ultimately stretch to Houston and/or Corpus Christi on the Gulf coast, it’s hard to imagine the operators emerging from the billion-dollar financial quagmire. The Department of Transportation has ended a rebate that had allowed trucks to use the road for the same price as cars since last April. That disincentive is likely to increase the red ink. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

ads for detox programs, plans, diets or food. After gorging on too much food over the holidays (or any other time of the year), a detox offers a promise of fresh start and to reverse all the effects of Tanja overinSHAW dulging and to rid your body of all the alleged ‘toxins’. Businesses that offer ‘detox’ programs thrive on this quick fix mentality and overindulgepurge cycle. Detoxification is supposed to rid the body of toxins and chemicals that build up in our body. Most detox programs advertise that you will lose weight as the build up of toxins is a cause of weight
Recently in our “Ascend Athletes” secret Facebook group (a support group where our clients and coaches keep each other motivated), one of our members, posted “My food demon talked me into eating lots of baked goods, chocolate, etc. this week. It actually made me physically sick, and I’m still not feeling well, but I’ve continued to eat what I shouldn’t up until last night. I just don’t get it. I am wondering what your thoughts are on doing a 5-day Detox to get out the yuckiness and sugar from my system. Is this a good way to get back on track?” This particular detox program included two shakes, two bars and one regular meal per day. If you’ve been online, if you’ve picked up a health magazine, or turned on the TV, you’ve probably seen

gain, or that the detox program will boost your metabolism. It’s true that most people lose weight when they ‘detox’, but mostly because the program is low in calories. The weight loss is due to water loss, muscle and body fat. When you lose muscle, your metabolism slows, making it easier to regain the weight you lost (and more). On the Facebook thread, many fellow members offered support and their comments made me proud. “Just start fresh with eating right, drinking water and exercising. You will feel better in no time” one member wrote. Another member commented, “be kind to you. Learn what you can and move forward. You are worth it!”. I added, “If your detox is veggies, lean protein, healthy fats, positive thoughts and movement then yes!” Detoxification is a natural process that happens by two fantastic organs: liver and kidneys. We also have an immune system to fight off the ‘bad guys’. What you can do is help theses processes by following these simple tips. 1. Plan your meals around protein. Include protein at each meal for energy and to keep you feeling full. Great sources of protein include eggs, poultry, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, fish, beef, pork, or game meat. Protein is also found in beans, soy products and nuts. 2. Eat plenty of fresh vegetables and some fruits in all the colours of the rainbow. Think spinach, kale, blueberries, citrus fruits, broccoli, cauliflower, peppers and tomatoes. Vegetables and fruits provide the Continued: STEPS/ p33

body with nutrients essential for a healthy body. For weight loss, above-ground vegetables are great because they provide a lot of bulk and few calories. 3. Nourish your body with fats. Despite the bad rap fats have, your body and your brain absolutely needs dietary fat. Include nuts, seeds, eggs, fatty fish, fish oil, avocados, fats from organic, grass feed beef (such as from dairy products or meat), coconut oil, hemp hearts, chia seeds, and olive oil. 4. Keep hydrated with water. Drinking water will help the kidneys to excrete waste. Aim for 8 glasses a day, or more if you’re working out a lot. 5. Wash, rinse, and repeat for life (or 80% of the time). Skip the overeat-purge mentality that often goes a lot with the need to detox. Be kind to you. Nourish your body with what it needs most of the time, enjoy ‘treats’ in moderation and move your body!

Black tie and beans in support of Chilliwack Restorative Justice Chilliwack Restorative Justice and Youth Advocacy Association are having a “Blacktie Beanfest” fundraising event to raise much needed funds to continue the work that they do to keep our community safe and healthy. On Friday, Feb. 14 the stage will be set for a variety show
featuring ‘The Magic of the Mind’ hypnotist Lee Dyson and ‘Essence of Elvis’ Jeff Bodner. Said executive director Kathy Funk: “What a perfect way to celebrate Valentine’s Day and we are making this event all about giving back”. The first ever Blacktie Beanfest is just how it
sounds. The twist is you wear your black & white best with your finest jeans for this relaxed fun filled evening. Yes, you heard it right you will be handed a bowl of Elvis’s favourite baked beans. Funk adds, “We want most of your ticket money to go to Restorative Justice and
not a fancy meal”. Mike Csoka of the Chilliwack Bowls of Hope Society said, “Supplying beans for this event is a great partnership for the work that we do in this community”. A portion of the ticket sales will go as a donation to their society. Tickets are now on
sale at $50 each, or a table of 10 for $400. Most of the money will be income tax receipted. There will be fun extras like photo booths and other vignettes along with a no host bar. Both Dyson and Bodner know first hand the effectiveness of Restorative Justice in

Chiefs face Express in home-and-home Happy to not be playing Langley and desperately needing points, Chilliwack takes on the Coquitlam Express in weekend BCHL action. The teams meet tonight in Coquitlam and Saturday night (7 p.m.) at Prospera Centre. The Chiefs, losers of four straight (three to Langley) come into the weekend 10-29-1-3, fifth in the Mainland division. The Express are 19-18-1-3, third in the division. The teams have met four times previously this year. The Express won the first two by scores of 5-2 and 9-4, but Chilliwack beat them 4-3 in October and 6-1 in November to even the season series. The Chiefs trail the Surrey Eagles by 12 points for the final playoff position in the division, with 15 regular season games remaining.

Flames make history beating Breakers Unity Christian’s senior boys basketball team made history this month, winning the school’s first ever BC Christian Schools Athletic Association banner. The tournament was held Jan. 9-11 at Pacific Academy in Surrey. The Flames opened with a tough 55-41 win over Maple Ridge, ranked 10th provincially among single-A teams.
“We struggled to finish offensively but we won that game because of sound defensive play” said UC coach Matt Van Muyen. The Flames faced ninth ranked Duncan Christian (Vancouver Island) next, earning a 57-49 win. In the final, UC faced the host Pacific Academy Breakers, one of the best AA teams in the province, winning 50-45.
“We had a solid game plan and clearly understood what we needed to do to win the game” Van Muyen said. “Our transition eliminated their fast break and we were able to make it a half court game. Credit the guys for working hard and committing to sprinting rather than running back on defense.” Jon Vugteveen was named a tournament allstar. Clay Driesen was
named the tourney MVP. Their team is now the third ranked single-A team in BC. “We are improving as a team but we understand that the Fraser Valley tournament in February is going to be a battle,” Van Muyen noted. The Flames got back to league play Tuesday, smacking Highroad Academy 10147.
Peewees pursuing Penguins in online vote Chilliwack’s peewee A1 Bruins have closed the gap, but still trail the Surrey Penguins for top spot in the Stagg Chili Saves for Success contest. The Bruins are taking on teams from across the coun-
try in a race to get the most online votes at staggchili. ca/2013-vote/. The team with the most votes wins $5,000. As of Wednesday afternoon the Penguins had 4,400 votes and the Bruins had
2,248. The Port Coquitlam Raiders were leading the race before Christmas, but they’ve faded to third with 1,054 votes. There are 10 teams in the Western conference. The second through fifth place
teams each claim $2,000 and two more prizes will be awarded by random draw. Prize money is meant to offset team expenses such as ice-time and equipment. The contest closes March 7.

The first announcement related to the Chilliwack Chiefs 25th anniversary season was made earlier this week. The reaction to the announcement, which sees season ticket prices slashed dramatically, has been extremely positive. The T he prices, which are in place until April 1, allow anyone to purchase a season ticket for $199 or less. Child and youth prices are jjust ust $99 while seniors pay jjust ust $189. Other announcements are pending. Not everything has been completely decided yyet et but you can be sure that some will involve looking back at key moments and people from the first 24 seasons. As Harvey Smyl said at the press conference, former players are already asking how they can be involved. the top Ranking moments in Chiefs history isn’t difficult. Different people may rank them in different order but I think everyone’s list would include the three championship seasons. We will definitely take a close look at those seasons and do our best to catch up with all the players and staff that were involved with them. I’ve already started this and despite talking to many of these players about it before, I’m still learning new things about those years that I think fans will enjoy hearing about. We’ll do our best to catch up with every former Chiefs Captain and same do tthe e sa e with t aall tthe e
fan favorites. We’ll also have some very interesting stories about former players thatt you’ll have to think hard to remember. Former players are spread out all over the globe and what some off them are doing now is fascinating. They all seem to have one thing in common and that’s a fondness for theirr time spent in Chilliwack. Vlad Klochkov, who spentt his final season of juniorr hockey in Chilliwack and is now back in Russia, recently told me his yearr in Chilliwack was his favorite year in hockey. We’ll also talk to the many non players thatt have played a huge partt in this franchises history. First and foremost is off course the Brew family y that moved the team from Richmond to Chilliwack. That’s actually not entirely accurate as Rich Brew w played a few games forr the Chiefs and goaltenderr Jason Bilous went on to marry into the Brew family. I know I’m really looking forward to it and off course all this will not take the focus off of the 201415 players. If you have any ideas for next season please do not hesitate to let a Chiefs staff member know. Myy email address is at the bottom of this article. The Chiefs play a home and home versus the Coquitlam Express this weekend with the home game begin Saturday. Game time is 7 p.m. jb@chilliwackchiefs.net jb@c ac c e s. et

Cascade golfers top ranked in Canada In the latest vote conducted by the Golf Coaches Association of Canada (GCAC), the University of Fraser Valley men’s squad emerges as the topranked male post-secondary golf program in the country. The Cascades, the 2013 PACWest and Canadian Colleges Athletic Association champions, earned 41 points, edging the University of Western Ontario Mustangs by two points. The University of Victoria Vikes (36 points) finished third in the poll, with the Université de Laval Rouge et Or (30 points) and University of
Toronto Varsity Blues rounding out the top five. This is significant recognition for the UFV team. These rankings go beyond the CCAA, encompassing all university programs in the country. Many of the teams UFV has been ranked above are large programs competing directly against US adversaries. “Even as the reigning Canadian champions, it still came as a bit of a surprise, albeit a pleasant one, to be given the number one ranking alongside many of the larger programs in Canada,” said Cascades
Top curlers collide Eighteen local and out-of-town teams will compete in this weekend’s Chilli Spiel at the Chilliwack Curling Club.

er of the team, joined by fellow Chilliwackians Matt Gudmundson, Kyle Hayhow and Scott Benstead. The team’s assistant coach, Brad Clapp, is a professional golfer and instructor at the Chilliwack Golf and Country Club. Get more at ufvcascades.ca

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. Memorial Tea will be held on Friday, January 31st at the Masonic Hall on 45905 Hocking Ave. Chilliwack beginning at 2 pm. Henderson’s Funeral Home in care of arrangements. 604-792-1344. On line condolences may be left at www.hendersonsfunerals.com
