New indoor firing range approved Training facility expected to be operational by 2015 Jennifer Feinberg The Progress About $18 million in federal funding has just come through to build a new indoor firing range for the RCMP on Canada Education Park land. It’s out for tender now with Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation (CEPCO) facilitating as project manager for the City of Chilliwack, said John Jansen, CEPCO’s director of special projects. The current outdoor firing range facility has long been the subject on noise complaints. Located on property owned by the University of the Fraser Valley, its lease was due to expire in 2016. The new sound-proof facility, with upto-date ventilation and technology, will be constructed at Caen and Tyson Roads. “It will be completely indoors, meaning no sound at all will be heard from the outside,” said Jansen. Substantial completion is expected by October 2015. It’s a project that’s been in the works for years. “We’ve worked hard to get this off the ground,” said Jansen. “We’re very pleased to see it coming to fruition. It will be a great addition to Chilliwack and a great addition to Canada Education Park.” The development of an updated firing range at the Canada Education Park lands serves as “a natural progression of the site,” according to the CEPCO press release. “The modern training facility will host a variety of training groups, which will contribute to the economic stability of the local community.” Canada Border Services currently trains at its own soundproof indoor range at Canada Education Park. Project scope and construction details for the tender are available on major tendering websites, such as bcbid.gov.bc.ca. The tender deadline is April 10, 2014.

Local teacher joins select group to Antarctica Katie Bartel The Progress Biology teacher Jenn Long has been teaching Darwin’s expeditions through the knowledge of a textbook for years. Now, she’ll live it first hand. National Geographic has selected the Sardis secondary teacher for a Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship in Antarctica. She is one of 25 selected, out of 1,300 applicants, and one of the first three Canadians since the program started four years ago. Long got the call last month. “As soon as I heard Antarctica, I was blown away; I didn’t hear anything after that,” she said. The Grosvenor Teacher Fellowship is a partnership

between National Geographic Education and Lindblad Expeditions. The program is designed to give K-12 teachers an opportunity to experience geographic education in remote areas including Iceland, Arctic Svalbard, Greenland and the Canadian Maritimes. Long, who didn’t have a choice of where to go, but secretly wished for the coldest place on earth, was paired with the 14-day journey through Antarctica. Wish come true. “Antarctica was by far my number one choice, I mean, how often do you get to go to Antarctica in a lifetime?” she said. “How can you not be excited about seeing penguins in their natural environment. And

the wildlife, the glaciers, experiencing all that is the Antarctica is going to be really exciting.” Aboard the National Geographic Explorer, a fully stabilized ice-class vessel, Long will be joined with two other fellows, a National Geographic photographer, an undersea specialist, and several ship naturalists to help identify the different species, as well as the area’s geographic and natural subjects. The journey will include close encounters with the continent’s iconic penguins, leopard seals, and marine mammals. There will be kayaking among the icebergs, exploring the glaciers, investigating the unfamiliar landscapes and habitats. “In some ways, it’s a really big professional development

opportunity,” said Long. “Being a biology teacher, we teach our students about how Darwin was a ship naturalist, so to go and actually be on a ship and live in close quarters with true ship naturalists, and experience this stuff first hand, on a professional level, and a biology geek level, it’s going to be really, really awesome.” Long isn’t new to teaching expeditions. She’s led house building projects in Mexico, volunteer trips to Costa Rica and China, and in 2010, she took a two-year leave from the school district to teach at a not-for-profit environmental school in a cloud forest in Monte Verde, Costa Rica.

Saturday Manna shaved to the bone Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A soup kitchen program called Saturday Manna is being reduced to once a month in Chilliwack — down from four times a month. Manna volunteers in the downtown core have been preparing nutritious hot lunches for the hungry, on a rotating basis at downtown Chilliwack churches, since 1998. They often fed crowds of 150 people. Manna got started after a local resident spotted someone dumpster diving for food, and decided no one should have to do that when there were local parishioners willing to help. In its heyday there were

five churches proudly offering Manna: Cooke’s Presbyterian, St. Thomas Anglican, Christ Lutheran, Chilliwack United and St. Mary’s RC. Then it was down to four, when St. Mary’s could no longer keep it up, going on two years ago. It is always a huge undertaking to prepare and serve Saturday Manna, requiring many volunteers and significant donations from local merchants. But after April 1, the United Church will be the only one left, offering a midday meal to those in need on the weekends. They also pack fruit and bread to go, and offer free clothing. “We hope we won’t be

the only ones doing it for too long,” said Iva Hancock, Saturday Manna coordinator at Chilliwack United. She’s been helping out with Manna for 10 years, as a volunteer before stepping up to coordinate the program. At a recent church council meeting, the volunteers at United Church decided to carry on and continue with the soup kitchen tradition, cognizant that the other three churches would not be following suit. “I think the other volunteers are just getting older as we all do. Coordinators couldn’t be replaced. It’s a fair amount of work,” said Hancock. Service clubs and non-profits are seeing similar examples of volunteer attrition.

They feel most fortunate to still have a pool of active volunteers numbering “35 kind souls,” Hancock says, who work in teams to put on the midday Saturday meal. Where will the hungry and hurting get lunch on those other Saturdays now? “I don’t know,” she replied quietly. “We hope some of the other churches will step in at this point. “We’d be happy to share information with anyone who may be interested in continuing.” Donna Goldstone, who was Parish Coordinator at St. Thomas Anglican, said they offered their last Saturday Continued: MANNA/ p7

Citizens will write letters to the editor or make comments on social media, but they rarely take the time to actually show up at city hall at budget and tax-rate calculation time. This was the gist of one speaker’s comments in council chambers this week. Chilliwack council was considering its 2014 Financial Plan bylaw with a 2.44 proposed tax rate increase, which was approved following an information hearing on Tuesday night. Resident Gary Raddysh appeared in council chambers during the information hearing this year, to again request that Chilliwack council go instead with “a zero per cent tax increase for one year.” He said he and his wife have asked their employer for raises, but that it wasn’t “part of the plan.” Consequently Chilliwack should “live within its means,” as well, he argued. “The chart (showing how Chilliwack’s tax rate stacks up) looks good but I don’t feel I’m paying the lowest taxes around, and these are not the only taxes I have to pay of course.” Resident Bryden Nelmes said he was hoping more people would show up at city hall to talk taxes and budget. “If you look at your pocketbook this is the most important bylaw of the year, as far as what it affects and what they’re paying. “People aren’t here to debate the issues,” he chided gently. He also broached some pedestrian safety and access issues for the disabled, and asked city staff to look at certain sidewalks and crosswalks. “There’s no way to walk to the airport safely,” he said. The budget will fund two additional police officers for the RCMP and one career firefighter for Chilliwack Fire Department. The 2.44 per cent increase is down a percentage point from 3.44 per cent last year, and it translates into a $38 increase in taxes on a typical Chilliwack home. jfeinberg@theprogress.com Twitter.com/chwkjourno

Municipal politicians urged to plug farm tax loopholes Jeff Nagel Black Press More agricultural land in the Lower Mainland might actually be farmed if cities crack down on property owners who abuse the current rules to avoid paying higher property taxes. That’s the advice to Metro Vancouver from consultant Scott Bowden of Colliers International, who studied options to intensify agricultural and industrial land use on behalf of the regional district. Bowden said too much land is underused because it’s too easy

604-582-8000

to qualify for farm tax status, which reduces the property tax owners pay by as much as 99 per cent from what they’d pay at residential rates. “We have seen evidence of this being abused,” he told a recent Metro Vancouver regional planning committee meeting. A Chilliwack man saved more than $100,000 by arranging to have a few llamas put on industrial land he owned, Bowden said, while similar cases crop up of land owners adding a few cows or other livestock to achieve the “incredible benefit” of

farm rates. Bowden said one option would be to substantially raise the current threshold for farm status – it only takes $2,500 in annual agricultural revenue for properties that are four hectares or smaller. Richmond Coun. Harold Steves, who is also a cattle farmer, said the threshold should definitely be raised, adding he’s turned down requests to put a few cows on properties to help owners dodge paying tax.

He suspects many owners of giant houses on farmland avoid paying much higher tax bills by leasing out part of their yards to blueberry growers or livestock farmers. Steves said tax relief should be reserved for “bona fide farmers.” Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese said people with secluded country mansions who have no intention of farming shouldn’t be able to get the farm tax break.

“I believe they should be taxed at residential rates,” Bowden said. “There are a lot of land owners who take advantage of the agricultural taxation.” He said cities should consider applying much higher residential tax rates in the Agricultural Land Reser ve to increase the cost to wealthy residents who don’t even attempt to seek farm status. Different residential tax rates can be applied in different geographic areas, he said, and the ALR could be defined as such. “We could make it so onerous to be located in the ALR that they would be more inclined to lease their property to a farmer in order to achieve the farm class status.” Meanwhile, Bowden said, legitimate farms should be allowed to average their production revenue over several years so they don’t lose farm status if they suffer the occasional money-losing year. Another reform already enacted last year by the provincial government exempts a larger amount of the assessed value of farm buildings like greenhouses and barns on areas with poor soil. Bowden said that change means a $1-million greenhouse today pays property tax on a much smaller fraction of the value, adding it’s hoped that encourages greater use of greenhouses. Metro planners intend to discuss Bowden’s findings with local cities and provincial officials before recommending any changes.

We’ve all done this for too long, as we’re all in our 80s.” Goldstone said she had to step down after facing some health issues. “We decided we would take one more turn at lunch and that would be it,” she explained. “My doctor said I had to quit right now. Some of the St. Thomas volunteers, when they knew Manna was coming to an end, approached some of the other local churches to carry on the tradition. “Nobody else could take it on. It was too big of a commitment.” There’s still hope other groups might step forward to fill in the gaps. “We’re not too worried.” The next Manna at Chilliwack United is on March 29.

R AESIDE

Tough shoes to fill The resignation of Finance Minister Jim Flaherty on Tuesday is a pivotal moment for the Conservative government of Prime Minister Stephen Harper. Flaherty has been the only finance minister Harper has had, since he became prime minister in January, 2006. A former Ontario finance minister, he has developed a reputation for being careful with taxpayers’ dollars, seeking ways to save them money (a reduction in the GST and Tax Free Savings Accounts being two examples) and paying down the debt as soon as possible. In many ways, he resembles Paul Martin, who was one of Canada’s most successful finance ministers and did a great deal to keep the government of Jean Chretien in power. Unlike Martin, Flaherty is moving beyond federal politics. Martin coveted Chretien’s job and the struggle between them did a great deal of damage to the government and the Liberal Party. Harper does not have a lot of ministers or backbenchers who could replace Flaherty. He has chosen Joe Oliver, the 73-year-old natural resources minister, to take over. Clearly, his tenure will not be as long as Flaherty’s. Oliver does have a lot of experience in the financial industry, and is a competent minister. He should be able to take the government into the October, 2015 election. He does not have the experience of overseeing the massive spending of a large government body. However, he can use the tools Flaherty has handed over, and present a balanced budget in the next fiscal year. That will be a plus for a government going into the election. Economic competence is one of the Conservative government’s core strengths, and is vital for a finance minister. ~ Black Press

Mysteries run deep when airplanes disappear Whatever happened to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370? On 8 March at 00:41 (Malaysia time) the routine flight left Kuala Lumpur airport for a five-hour flight to Beijing to the north. At 1:07 am the plane’s automated maintenance system stopped communicating. Fifteen minutes later its transponder stopped signalling its location to air-traffic controllers and to other planes. Then the final words are believed to have come from co-pilot Fariq Abdul Hamid as the plane left Malaysian airspace. “All right. Good night.” And with that the Boeing 777 with 239 people on board disappeared from air traffic controllers’ screens as it headed out of the South China Sea. But then, in an extraordinary twist of events, military radar spotted the plane over the Malacca Strait nearly an hour later. It was flying in the opposite direction from its planned

flight path. Subsequent satellite ‘pings’ indicated that the plane could have continued flying for another seven hours in a northern or southern arc. Those pings were the plane’s last link. They were a basic digital form of communication between the plane and a satellite orbiting 36,700 km above the Indian Ocean. Margaret With next to EVANS nothing to go on except a queasy belief that on-board communications were deliberately turned off, theories over what happened have been rampant. Two passengers were flying with stolen passports which immediately floated terrorist fears. Skyjackings always have a political purpose, pilot suicide has

been suggested, and catastrophic mechanical failure has been explored. But with no sightings, no claims for responsibility, and no confirmed floating wreckage the mystery, and the unbearable anguish for the families, continues. Planes have disappeared before. In 1962 Flying Tiger Line flight 739, a Lockheed propliner chartered by the U.S. military and carrying 93 soldiers from California to Vietnam, disappeared over the western Pacific Ocean. It generated an air and sea search in the Pacific, covering 520,000 square kilometres. No trace of wreckage was ever recovered. In October 1972 Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 carrying 45 people including a rugby union team crashed in the Andes at 3,600 metres altitude. More than a quarter died, others died of injuries and exposure and still more

died when an avalanche engulfed the wreckage. Search crews never found them. They were rescued 72 days later only after two survivors hiked out seeking help. The crash grabbed world attention after it was learned the survivors ate the flesh of their comrades. When Air France flight 447 en route from Rio de Janeiro to Paris in 2009 went down, it was five days before floating wreckage was spotted. But it was another two years before the black box was found at a depth of 4,000 metres. American adventurer Steve Fossett took off from a private airfield in Nevada in September 2007. He was never seen again. The remains of his plane were found in October 2008 after a massive hunt. Chilliwack, with its rugged mountains and changing weather patterns, has had its plane disasters. On 9 December 1956, TransCanada Air Lines flight 810, a

Canadair North Star, was en route from Vancouver to Toronto. On board were five professional football players returning from an all-star game. Approaching the Cascades the plane, encountering severe icing and turbulence, crashed into Mount Slesse. All 62 people on board died. But the crash site was not found until the following May. The search for flight MH370 has become the biggest in aviation history. Twenty-six countries are scouring a region 7.7 million km2 from northern China and Kazakhstan to the southern Indian Ocean. Just as The Progress went to press, satellite images picked up floating debris 2,500 km southwest of Australia. Flight MH370? It may be days before we know.

Make immunization mandatory We can perhaps just barely find it in us to tolerate Rev. Adriaan Geuze’s notion that his (boneheaded, literal-minded, selective) interpretation of Matthew 9:12 (the bit that says “those who are well have no need of a physician”) authorizes him to advise his flock not to vaccinate their children. “We leave it in God’s hands,” he

told a Vancouver newspaper. “If we get sick, he can also heal us from it.” After all, as the saying goes, everyone is entitled to his own stupid opinion. It is problematic enough that the “we” he blithely puts at risk are the children of his own congregation. But when the contagion spreads to the general

population, “we” becomes all of us. It is for this reason, presumably, that other Canadian provinces have made it illegal to refuse vaccination for diseases like measles and mumps. British Columbia has yet to follow suit. This is not right. There ought to be a law. Graham Dowden

Measles warning just ‘scare tactics’ With the recent measles cases in the Chilliwack area, a mass marketing of immunization has been the talk amongst the community. As a parent, grandparent, I have learned that immunization does not prevent diseases. As a child I was immunized and many of these diseases are in the general public again – whooping cough, polio, measles, influenza strain and others. They are not back because they are part of the life cycle, part of

nature. Outbreaks are managed. Long-term immunity is not what immunization does. As a parent it is hard to get proper information to make an informed decision. This, I believe, is due to the bullying and scare tactics of the drug companies and provincial regulations and health authorities. It is known as ‘mass herding’ of information and the thinking that ‘everyone should’ or everyone knows’. Well, that is

simply not true. I had the fortune of a public health nurse tell me the recipe of what was in some of these vaccinations. The ingredients are not healthy. Carcinogens and other toxic agents are injected ‘into the body’, into our babies, children, adults and elders, adding any toxins to get an express pass into our systems. It is the process, the ‘how’ and ‘what’ information is given to the public from corporations.

Too many people think, when they see a person wearing a laboratory coat, they must know what they are talking about. This is not the way I make health decisions. Let the public know the risks and benefits. Please do not make childhood immunization mandatory. Keep the laws out of our bodies! Kimberly Hayek New Westminster

It’s our job to understand pipeline risks I’d like to respond to the fullpage ad in yesterday’s Progress from Kinder Morgan Canada claiming that property values will not be impacted by a new oil pipeline. As a matter of fact, whether or not property values will be impacted depends greatly on the reputation and performance of the pipeline. Studies of pipeline spills in other places show that reputation matters. Since the proposed new Trans Mountain pipeline is a high-profile project,

it’s more likely to impact home values on or near the new rightof-way. The ad also forgot to mention that if there’s a spill or leak along the pipeline route, impacted and adjacent homes will lose significant value. If a spill contaminates groundwater or gets into a home’s foundations, as in the case of the recent Exxon spill in Mayflower, Arkansas, then the impacts will be permanent. What’s more, if news spreads and the pipeline develops a bad

reputation, even homes across town from a spill site could expect to be impacted — this happened after a 1999 pipeline explosion in Bellingham. Now of course it’s not Kinder Morgan’s job to tell you about the risks of their proposal, but as residents it’s our job to know about them.

Burning the garbage still leaves the ash Metro Vancouver is still trying to find a site to build a garbage incinerator which soon no one but they will want as support is dwindling. But, will they do what is difficult for politicians to do and change their minds? A city in Scotland did

and paid a default penalty which Metro won’t have to because no contract has yet been signed. The biggest problem for garbage incinerators worldwide is that they are running out of combustible garbage for which they pay a

considerable penalty. Metro’s committee for this project is called ‘Zero Waste’ but the fact is there will be ash residues of close to 20 per cent or more, so it isn’t really zero at all is it? Furthermore ash isn’t really a residue, it’s the same garbage reduced

to an unusable toxic mass. Anything that could have been recycled now can’t be, so what really will have been achieved? If you don’t want it built, tell them! Gary Huntbatch

News Lions music festival, Chilliwack public schools and UFV notified by Fraser Health MEASLES from page 3 Chilliwack school district officials were not available for comment as the district is currently on Spring Break. Fraser Health is growing increasingly frustrated with the continued spread of measles in the Chilliwack region. People who have been in contact with measles have been urged to isolate themselves so as not to place those most vulnerable – children under five years – at risk. “We are disappointed that people who are showing symptoms of measles are not isolating themselves, as requested by Fraser Health, and as a result other people in the

community are being exposed to this infectious disease,” Dr. Paul Van Buynder, chief medical health officer with Fraser Health, said in a press release. The infectious period is 21 days following exposure. Information on vacci-

nation clinics in Fraser East communities for children between the ages of one and five years is available at http://www.fraserhealth.ca/your_health/ immunizations/measles/news-and-updates/ The measles outbreak first came to light

on March 8 after two cases were confirmed at Mount Cheam Christian School, led by the Reformed Congregation of North America, a community that opposes vaccinations for religious beliefs. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

(LEFT) Six-year-old Carter Holek has drawn dozens of pictures and is selling them, all by donation, to raise funds for Canuck Place. This week, he gave the children’s hospice a $4,000 cheque earned through his drawings. (ABOVE) From Carter Holek’s Monster Collection: this is a picture of 84-year-old Johnny whose favourite colour is blue and favourite thing to do is play on the slide. JENNA HAUCK /PROGRESS

Making a difference, one drawing at a time Katie Bartel The Progress Like a true artist, Carter Holek doesn’t think before he draws. He lets his crayons guide him. From bucktoothed green monsters, to a school of rainbow fish, even a walking mustache. Not the typical masterpieces you’d normally see purchased by the masses, but that’s exactly what’s happened. In four months, the six-year-old Chilliwack boy has sold 70 handmade drawings, all by donation, raising funds for Canuck Place Children’s Hospice. On Monday, Carter hand delivered a $4,000 cheque to the Vancouver children’s hospice. Carter’s drawing campaign, entitled Carter’s Kids Care, all started following the Terry Fox run held at his school in September. While his family had expe-

rienced cancer prior, it was all adults. Carter didn’t realize kids like him could also be attacked by the disease. When he heard Terry’s story, the Watson elementary Grade 1 student wanted to do something. Talking a mile a minute, Carter told his parents how horrible Terry’s death was, and how horrible it was other kids were getting cancer too, and how important Terry’s cause was, and how it had to continue. With Terry gone, he asked, who’s going to help the kids? From there, Carter realized, ‘I can do that. How can I do that? Well, I’m a good artist, how about I sell my pictures.’ Carter started drawing mermaids, fish, monsters, cavemen, babies, portraits all with the touch of a six-year-old’s hand. The heads are large, the crayon markings regularly fall out of line, and the

concepts are sometimes completely nonsensical. He goes against every basic art rule out there. Which makes it that much more brilliant. “He’s a super creative kid,” said mom Crystal Holek, laughing at some of the pieces her son’s created. “He loves drawing. He loves art.” When asked how he comes up with his drawings: “I don’t know, I just draw,” he shrugged. To get the word out, Carter created business cards in which he and his parents hand out wherever they go. T-shirts were made with the Carter’s Kids Cares logo so Carter could be his own walking advertisement. A Facebook page was also made where Carter’s prints are uploaded. He has over 500 likes. He’s sold pictures locally and

internationally with orders coming in from as far away as Australia, China and the United States. Carter’s art has sold for as little as $1 and as high as $200. All donations have been matched, dollar for dollar, by a retired Chilliwack businessman. For Carter, the campaign is simple. “I’m selling all my pictures to help kids who have cancer,” he said. “There needs to be somebody else to help the kids.” Monday’s tour through Canuck Place was both emotional and rewarding. Carter met a family with a child suffering cancer; he gave away two of his pictures to siblings he met; he saw the facilities; took in the art room; and handed over a “really big cheque.” Carter’s relentless determination was no surprise to his parents. “He is such a special kid, he really is,” said Crystal.

“The most difficult part of this whole process was trying to, as parents, let him run the show but also teach him the value of his efforts. Canuck Place was one of the few organizations I reached out to that would actually take the time to show him where his money was going.” And likely gave him a memory he won’t soon forget. The fundraiser isn’t stopping. Carter has recruited friends to join the cause, meaning more pictures, more donations. “Really, it’s not hard for him to do this,” said Carter’s dad Adam. “And it’s not hard for others to step up and do their part as well.” For more information, visit Carter’s Kids Cares Facebook page at https://www.facebook. com/carterskidscare. kbartel@theprogress.com twitter.com/schoolscribe33

ing, as will hypnotist Lee Dyson. There’s going to be a live auction, 50/50 draw, sweet station, photo booth, and more. The fundraiser is a must for the organization. Chilliwack Restorative Justice and Youth Advocacy Association receives some funding from the City and the provincial government, but not enough to keep up with its growing demand. The predominantly volunteer-based organization works with firsttime offenders in helping them understand the impact of their actions on the community, the victim, the family and themselves through restorative justice practices, in the hopes of keeping them from becoming repeat offenders. Chilliwack has the second most caseloads in the province. “At this stage, we can’t keep up with the volume coming our way,” said Funk. “We really need funds.” Most of the offenders that the organization works with are either bored youth engaging in vandalism and petty theft, or adults and seniors who have fallen on hard times. Young moms. The working poor. Seniors on low-paying pensions. “Out of desperation they try to walk out of a store with an item that’s predominantly a food item,” said Funk. “These people have sincerely fallen on tough times. It doesn’t justify their behaviour, and we make sure they know that. But at the same time, they feel desperate and they don’t realize the services available to them.” Chilliwack Restorative Justice helps connect their clients with community services. “People don’t realize how impactful this program really is,” said Funk. She hopes the Blacktie Beanfest will open their eyes. The event is on March 29 at Evergreen Hall starting at 6:30 p.m. Tickets are $40 each or a table of 10 for $350.

Ford forges ahead on all fronts

‘‘

Ford isn’t merely introducing an updated model.

Zack Spencer

’’

The Vancouver International Auto Show gets underway next week. Today, the Driveway team looks at the offerings for 2014 from the Big Three domestic manufacturers in paper and online at drivewaycanada.ca Ford has been on a roll here in Canada; finishing out 2013 as the top selling brand for the fourth consecutive year. There are some very big products coming from Ford over the coming year that will make a big impact on its sales and image, and you will get a peek at some of them at the Vancouver International Auto Show. The first is the biggest introduction of any automaker this year, the all-new 2015 Ford F-150 full-size pickup truck. The F-150 isn’t just the best selling truck in Canada for almost 50 years; it is the overall sales champ, selling more

than any other nameplate. Period. Ford isn’t merely introducing an updated model. No, they went to town, developing a entirely new manufacturing process that will revolutionize the full-size truck space. The body of the next F-150 is built of an aluminum alloy material that Ford claims is 318kg lighter but stronger than the outgoing model. In addition, the frame is made of thinner, lighter and stronger high-tensile steel that combined with the body, produces the weight savings. This is an industry first, and a revolutionary approach to building trucks. In addition to a lighter body, the engineers have developed two new engines to complement the existing 3.5L EcoBoost turbocharged V6 model and 5.0L normally aspirated V8 engine. The first is a new 3.5L V6 engine, replacing the outgoing 3.7L model base engine. With a lighter truck, a smaller engine can do the work. A smaller 2.7L turbocharged EcoBoost V6 is also going to be introduced with an auto start-stop function that switches off the engine when the truck is sitting still. Official fuel economy ratings have not been released but Ford executives tell me they hope to have best in class gasoline fuel economy.

Other enhancements to the F-150 include a new stepladder that integrates into the tailgate. Ford was the first to have this feature but it has been improved for 2015. The rear tailgate also has a softopen feature that prevents the tailgate from slamming down, plus a light switch near the back of the truck to illuminate the bed with new LED lights. The second vehicle that will have a big impact of Ford, but more of an image car, is the all-new 2015 Mustang. Interestingly, about 25 per cent of all Mustangs are sold here in British Columbia, so this is a big deal for us. The 2015 Mustang is now going to be sold around the world and developed as part of the “One Ford” approach to making cars they can share in every market. This means the Mustang will be sold, for the first time, with right hand drive for countries like the UK, Australia and Japan. The stance of the new Mustang is lower, wider and more muscular, with the wheels pushed out to provide better stability. The fastback has a steeper rake and a bigger trapezoidal grille has enhanced the shark nose design. Initially the Mustang will be sold as a coupe and convertible with the base and GT trim, the higher performance

models will come later. Inside is another clean-sheet design, featuring real aluminum switches and dials, with two large gauges behind the steering wheel. The interior looks more upscale than any Mustang before. Under the hood the GT trim continues with the 5.0L V8 with improved valves and cylinders helping to pump out over 420hp. The base 3.7L V6 is also carried over but now with 300hp. The big news is the introduction of a 2.3L turbocharged EcoBoost 4-cylinder with an estimated 300hp and 300 lb.-ft. of torque. For years, the criticism has been the lack of independent rear suspension in the Mustang but this is no longer the case. A fully independent rear suspension will help get all the power down to the ground from all three engines plus provide improved handling. Ford is hoping with this new platform and available engines, this new model will provide as many thrills as any German sports model and for less money. Pricing has not been finalized but expect it to be in line with existing 2014 Mustang pricing. Ford is doing well here in Canada and with all-new products; it will have a good chance of staying No. 1. zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Chevy rolls into town with shiny new wheels The model year 2014 is already in full swing for Chevrolet as it rolls its products into the Vancouver International Auto Show. Many of the new and revamped products are already in dealerships so let’s take a look at what’s especially notable for this year.

Europe, the proven engine needed to be adapted to North American emissions ratings. It comes standard with a six-speed automatic transmission and 376.6L trunk space. It has an MSRP of $24,945 plus $1,550 destination freight charge. Impala Chevrolet’s flagship sedan is all new for the 2014 model year. Released in 2013, this five-passenger vehicle can certainly hold its own in a segment whose competitors are getting stronger and stronger. Among its redeeming new features, an all-new exterior design. I think it looks great. Having had the opportunity to take it for a test drive, Chevrolet has certainly listened to their customers and in the Impala; it has given drivers a vehicle that has flair, as well as potency. Its cabin/interior also received a major overhaul and the result is pleasing to the eyes and to the touch. The 2014 Impala is offered with three engine choices, including two four-cylinder powertrains and a 3.6L V6. Output for the 3.6L V6 is rated at 305 horsepower and 264 lb.-ft. of torque (358 Nm). That is the highest horsepower output in the segment from a naturally-aspirated V6 engine. The Ecotec 2.5L is part of a new family of four-cylinder engines developed with increased efficiency and greater refinement. It is

rated at 196 horsepower and 186 lb-ft of torque The Impala’s Ecotec 2.4L engine with eAssist provides electrical assist in certain conditions to help save fuel. It is rated at 182 horsepower. Malibu The 2013 model year brought forth an all-new Malibu. That said, not much has changed for 2014, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t get a few enhancements. For example, there’s now a fuel-saving start-stop technology added to the standard model, rear knee room improved by 1.25 inches (31.7 mm) and chassis and suspension developments enhance drive experience. That’s on top off the overhauled Malibu, on the inside and out. Camaro Z/28 For those diehard track day fans who have been waiting for an even more performance inspired Camaro, the wait is over. Almost. For 2014, the Z/28 makes its debut. All 2014 Camaro models feature a revised exterior design that integrates highperformance aerodynamics for more efficient cooling and stability at high speeds. However, the new Camaro Z/28 adds features like a full aerodynamics package that creates downforce at speed, which helps make it the most track-capable offering in Camaro’s history. Alongside its aerodynamic prowess, under its hood is a mechanical wonder. Its 7.0L, LS7 V8 hand-assembled engine was co-developed with Corvette Racing to make it as potent as possible. Its monster engine produces an estimated 500 horsepower and 470 lb-ft of torque. With those figures on paper, don’t expect amazing fuel results! And just like it takes an experienced driver to put it through its paces, your bank account will most likely need to be seasoned, too! It has an MSRP of $77,400. If you get to the show, all the GM brands, including Chevrolet, are well-represented.

Chrysler’s dark days are over Led by the Ram 1500, Motor Trend magazine’s Truck of Year for the second year in a row and the only half-ton with a diesel engine option, Ram is now the second-best

selling vehicle in Canada. Chrysler separated its Dodge brand and created the distinct standalone Ram brand to concentrate on core truck customers and offers a range

of vehicles that includes pickup trucks, vans, cab/chassis platforms and commercial products, The Fiat brand is a relative newcomer to the Chrysler

family and is sold through selected Chrysler dealers. If big, bold, and powerful is more your style, the Dodge continued on page 24

These days, there’s always something new and interesting to see at a Chrysler auto show product display. Big and small it’s got’em all. – There’s a super-cute little Fiat that can run forever on litre of fuel over here and a big, brawny heavy-duty Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn Diesel that can pull a mountain over there. Then there’s value-packed Dodge, go-anywhere Jeep and those top-line Chrysler brand products, including the sleek new (2015) 200 sedan. Gear-heads will, of course, be gathered around the SRT Viper, which reportedly can transport occupants to 100 km/h in less than four seconds. On the business side, Chrysler Canada recently recorded 50 consecutive months of year-over-year sales growth, which is the longest period of continuous market improvement in the company’s history. Globally, 2013 was another great year for parent company Chrysler Group LLC, which reported a year-end net income of $2.8 billion, up from $1.7 billion the previous year. So far, in 2014, the sales growth story continues with award winning new vehicles and there are more new products in the pipeline. The radically redesigned Jeep Cherokee was recently voted 2014 Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year, by members of the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) and has already achieved best ever mid-size SUV sales results for Jeep. Cherokee is the first Jeep built on a body platform co-developed with corporate partner Fiat S.p.A. This year the redesigned Jeep Grand Cherokee is offered with a new 3.0-litre EcoDiesel V6 engine option, which is expected to deliver best-in-class fuel economy, a driving range in excess of 1,100 km and towing capability up to 3357 kg (7,400 lb). A new eightspeed automatic transmission comes with all powertrains. Grand Cherokee also offers three 4x4 systems and a Quadra-Lift air suspension.

One for all in the truck revolution Years ago, we would see a pickup truck at an Auto Show (a rare find) and think this would be perfect on the farm; it has a bench seat that would fit all three of us! My how things have changed, stepping into a pickup today is like stepping into a luxury home with even more technology. Trucks are now outselling cars, so manufacturers must keep looking for innovative designs to entice the consumer into selecting their vehicle over the competition. There

three domestic brands, all of which will be represented at the Vancouver International Auto Show. Ram introduced the EcoDiesel V6 engine in its 2014 1500 model and the consumer frenzy was on. A ½ ton pickup with 420 lb ft of torque and 4182kg (9200lbs) max towing capabilities, great! Better fuel economy, where do I sign. Ford announces the 2015 F150 with an aluminum body and a completely new design, this had Ford custom-

are many trucks on the road today but let’s look at the

ers holding off on their new purchase until this comes out, which I do not think was Ford’s intention. GM changes not only the design of their truck but much of their drivetrain. So much so, that it was named North American Truck of the year. Consumers are demanding these changes, they want better fuel economy but still are able to tow just as much. They want more comfort but still have a practical interior. They want comfortable suspension but still perform

off-road if necessary. Manufacturers have to consider all this when designing a new truck. They set up focus groups all around the country asking how they can improve and what features consumers want in a truck. So what’s driving sales, what do pickups have over cars and why are they so popular? Versatility, you can transport large items, haul your favorite ‘toy’, take your family in comfort to the cabin, get out and play in the mud. I am not saying you can’t do this in

a car but with a truck there are no limitations and that’s what intrigues people into this type of vehicle. You can do so much more with a truck, the possibilities are endless. The truck is just the beginning, the customization then begins. Research shows that on average a truck owner spends between $5,000 and $7,000 in aftermarket accessories within the first six months of ownership. Truck owners want to personalize their vehicles for practical reasons and some

artistic reasons, but rest assured, if you can dream it there is somebody out there building it. Ten years ago, I would have said things are slowing down and there might be a change coming, but it didn’t happen and things picked up and it keeps picking up. I now think it will continue and in another ten years, we will see even more choices, enabling us to take the time to enjoy life on and off road. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

6-speed automatic transmission. A new “Blacktop” package includes a black gloss front grille and headlamp treatments plus black polished aluminum wheels, giving it a more sinister appearance. The already mentioned 2015 Chrysler 200 is a redesigned midsize sedan for those who have earned the right to enjoy some luxury and those extra frills, yet still demand value for money. The 200’s exterior front-end design is apparently the new “face” of the Chrysler brand and it’s now based on an Alfa Romeo chassis. At the LA auto show about six years ago, the lights were turned out at an abandoned Chrysler display during the press preview days. It was both ominous and sad to see, as behind closed doors a once great company was struggling to survive. The dark days are over. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Confessions of a Curber

a lien on it? I realized the wholesaler* had scammed me! If that fellow had asked for a CarProof history report or even a provincial lien search, I’d be the one screaming. Over the next several hours, I kept letting my phone go to voicemail – I couldn’t bear speaking to the young man. I knew I had to switch phones again. I felt a bit ashamed. But I needed to be selfish about this. At this point, the best thing for me was cash. And lots of it.

*Wholesaler – Vehicle sellers may call themselves auto brokers or wholesalers to sound legitimate and cheaper. But if they’re selling to private buyers, they must be licensed as a dealer. Like any curber - an individual posing as a private seller but selling vehicles as a business – wholesalers and brokers offer none of the protection the law provides for purchases from a Vehicle Sales Authority licensed dealer. Walt learned that lesson, sson, but his buyer paid the price.

My next vehicle came from a used car wholesaler*. There was nothing wrong with it, but he couldn’t find a dealer who wanted it. I gladly took it off his hands. How hip was I? I had a new source of newer vehicles that would come right to me. “Two-year-old car for sale. No previous accident history reported, only 35,000km on it. Call with offer.” Shortly after, I got a call from a young man. His car had just broken down, and he needed a new one fast. He agreed to meet me at the local construction site where he worked. He was just finishing up his lunch when I arrived. He was wearing his construction uniform and I immediately noticed his tired eyes. I felt bad for the poor fellow, and I was glad that I was selling him a reliable vehicle. He didn’t need another headache on top of everything. I even knocked $500 off the price I wanted. It was a smooth transaction. The guyy looke looked edd happy h and thanked me immensely ely forr all the help. I beamed back at him. Around 5:00 a.m. the next morning, I got a call. It was the construction ructioon worker, yelling so loudly that I could barely him. ely understand u “THEY TOOK IT AWAY,” ” he said over and over again. “REPOSSESSED!” !” I hung up on him and triedd to make sense of the situation. Why would the ld th he car be taken away in the middle of the he night? n Who’s “they”? Liens. Of course. The car ha had ad a lien on it. That’s why it wouldn’t sell ell on a lot. The bank must have seized it due to an unpaid balance. As before, I panicked. I didn’t idnn’t want to get involved in this right now. w.

RYLA: A LIFE CHANGING EVENT www.welcomewagon.ca

DENTAL IMPLANTS 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.

Rotary Youth Leadership Awards (RYLA) is an exciting and challenging leadership training program for leaders and ‘potential’ leaders of tomorrow. Each year young people in Chilliwack age 18 – 30 are invited by the city’s Rotary Clubs to attend the event run by the clubs district committee.

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

RYLA 2014! This life changing event will take place April 10th to 13th, at a large retreat acreage in Washington State offering a fully equipped facility with dorms, theatre, presentation rooms, spectacular meals, spacious grounds and magni¿cent views of Mt. Baker. The Rotary Clubs of Chilliwack are seeking candidates to participate in this four-day leadership camp

The Journey Forward After Tragic Death

Scam prompts warning A McNaught Road area resident is warning his neighbours to be on the lookout for a possible scam. The resident answered a knock at his door at around 11 p.m., Wednesday. He was confronted by a man who said he was a neighbour and claimed had broken his key off in his door. He needed an additional $25 to pay the locksmith. When the resident, who had lived in the area for more than 20 years, challenged the story, the man fled. Police were called, but a search of the area turned up nothing. “It was creepy,” the resident said, and he wants his neighbour to be wary. There have been similar situations in Chilliwack in the past. A few months ago police were warning residents about a couple who were approaching homeowners, saying they needed water for an overheating radiator. When they went to get the water, the residents were robbed.

Capping off Canada Water Week with celebration Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Water advocates have been busy for days promoting Canada Water Week activities. Next the WaterWealth Project hosts a World Water Day event Saturday afternoon taking on the themes of “water and energy” with a first-ever community celebration.

It’s the intersection of those elements, and the crossover that interest them, says community organizer and event emcee Natalie Jones. The first World Water Day celebration is March 22, starting at 1 p.m. in Central Community Park, with speakers and entertainment. United Nations chose “water and energy” as

themes for this year’s World Water Day to highlight the interconnectedness. “Although lucky in the world, the Fraser Valley is not free from the complications of the water–energy nexus,” said Jones. It’s about recognition of global inequities over clean drinking water access and sustainable energy sources, as

well as the policies and frameworks that impact energy security and sustainable water use, she said. “My interpretation is that we’re looking at how much water is needed in the energy sector, from fracking for natural gas to the so-called green energy sector, to the dirty oil sands. “They all rely on

water in some way, so we’re becoming aware of intersection of water and how intimately linked it is to all the energy we use.” Local speakers, singer-songwriters and artists will be speaking to the value of healthy, clean and flowing local waterways and the issues that threaten to undermine the valley’s unique situation. “The Fraser Valley is one of the luckiest plac-

es in the world when it comes to fresh clean water, yet often times it is easy to take it for granted,” said Sheila Muxlow, director with WaterWealth. “World Water Day is an opportunity to show that our community cares about protecting our local water wealth and ensure that decision makers are clear about their responsibility to prioritize the care of our home waters.”

Locally they’re also watching carefully what will happen with the development of run-ofthe-river projects, such as in the Chilliwack River Valley. To show your water pride, wear blue and attend UN World Water Day Community Celebration - THEME: ‘Water & Energy’ at Central Community Park, 45951 Victoria Ave, on Saturday March 22, 1-2:30 PM

CSS teacher gets call from the Hall G Golf lf ‘f ‘fore’’ the h ffuture o

The Progress Maybe he was just being modest when he said he never expected the call. Quite possible. Harold Willers seems like the sort of guy who’d rather avoid the spotlight and downplay such things. But being inducted into the Simon Fraser University Sports Hall of Fame later this month? That’s a pretty big deal. And it’s no accident. Whether he expected it or not, there’s no doubt the Chilliwack secondary school math teacher is worthy of the honour. “I read the press release they put out, and some of the names on there, it’s hard to think of myself standing in that group,” Willers said. Now 52 years old, Willers was part of the SFU track and field program from 1976-80, specializing in the hammer throw. With the Clan, he won three straight NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) titles. After leaving SFU, Willers won four straight Canadian championships (1981-84) and represented his country in the Commonwealth and Pan-American Games. He won silver at the 1983 Pan-American Games in Caracas, Venezuela.

and a half decades later. “Comparing my throw to the world’s elite, it wasn’t all that significant, and it was always more about the personal challenge,” he said. “When everything went well the sport was easy and enjoyable, like hitting the sweet spot on a tennis racquet or golf club. It was a good feeling watching it fly and land and listening to the recorder read it off the tape.” Of everything he did, that record included, Willers calls the 1982 season his greatest accomplishment. Competing with a bad back all year long, he maintained his national ranking, placed sixth at the Commonwealth Games and never quit. “I was taking a ton of aspirin and using all kinds of rubs just to be able to compete,” he recalled. “Because I did what I did while being hurt all season, I consider that to be my best year.” Since retiring from competition, Willers has influenced a new generation of hammer throwers as a coach, lending his experience to the Valley Royals Track and Field Club. “I don’t think I’d be the coach I am now if I’d never competed, because it’s easier to communicate and relay info to kids if you’ve actually felt the sensations,” he said. “When you find the language that teacher and student can both understand that gets them to the same point, the light bulb goes on for the kid and that’s a really good feeling.” Willers will be inducted March 31.

ON SPRING! GET A T R A JUMP ST

Here are some of my top reasons to give the game a try, writes Jennifer Greggain With hockey season over and the weather (theoretically) improving soon, Jennifer Greggain returns with her biweekly golf column, offering advice to help you succeed on the course. At last, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, and we we are all bragging to our friends in Ontario that it is also time for us to hit the links. Sadly, golf is a game that has been losing interest over the last decade. Many analysts attribute this decline to the economy and rising costs to golf as well as the general busy-ness of life that most of us have been pulled in to. As a golfer with the opportunity to take advantage of the many benefits golf offers, here are some of my top reasons to give the game a try. First and most importantly, golf is a game that can be played for a lifetime. I firmly believe that golf is a “life skill” that can be applicable to just about any career, from playing a friendly game of golf with friends and family, to closing business deals on the putting green, golf offers a number of opportunities to a wide variety of players. No golfer I have ever met, no matter their skill level, regrets their investment in learning the game. Furthermore, golf can be played from a very young age with junior golfers, to senior players. Other, more physically active sports offer limited availability to participants after youth or adolescence. Not many sports offer this ability for true family involvement. My second reason to play golf is to encourage a physical lifestyle in the outdoors. Did you know that the average golfer walks 6 to 9 kilometres every 18 hole round of golf? Which can also add

up to 1,400 calories burned per 18 holes walked. In a society struggling with adding physical activity theirr schedules, golf is an excellent way to get outdoors and stay active. Finally, golf is a game thatt builds character and sportsmanship. As golf coach and instructor, sharing coachable moments with myy juniors is one of the mostt rewarding part of my job. Teaching students characteristics including humility, honesty, etiquette and perseverance to name a few is truly priceless. How manyy sports do you know where the top players in the world call penalties on themselves because that is the rightt thing to do? So what can be done to revitalize the game of golff in our area? There are two opportunities that stand out to me. First, get yourr kids involved with golf at an early age. Many courses and facilities in the Fraser Valleyy offer junior instructional programs for beginners to advanced players. Secondly, why not give the game a try yourself? Tryy signing up for some lessons either privately, or in group sessions. Again, there are numerous “Learn to Golf” programs in our area thatt are fun, affordable, and will help you on your way to learning a game you can play with your friends and family for a lifetime. Greggain teaches golff to adults and juniors at the Chilliwack Golf Academy. She played professionally on tourr for over 10 years, includingg 2 years on the LPGA. She was also named the 2010 CN N Canadian Women’s Tour Low Teaching Pro of the Year, andd is now the lead instructor of the Sardis Golf Academy. She can be contacted at 604-798-9805, chilliwackgolfacademy.com, or at Jennifer@chilliwackgolf. com

Sports Cascades guard Kayli Sartori wins CIS Women’s Basketball Championship All-Star Kayli Sartori was a little surprised last Sunday night when she was announced as a CIS tournament all-star following Windsor’s trounc-

ing of Saint Mary’s in the national final. It might have been because Cascades assistant coach, Sean Bosko, had warned her she was

presenting the Bronze Baby trophy, because her teammates told her she was going to have to shake all the Windsor players’ hands, or

because UFV’s communications staff warned her she’d be awarding Player of the Game honours. All of this was (of course) a conspiracy of

lies designed to keep Sartori from guessing the truth, that she was to be the first UFV player in program history to be named aCIS Women’s Basketball Championship All-Star. On her way to the court the third-year guard narrowly avoided being run over by Windsor fans celebrating the Lancers’ fourth straight championship, yet eventually managed to collect her muchdeserved reward. “Having Kayli win an all-star is a really positive step forward for her,” said assistant coach Anthony ‘Pops’ Luyken. “It really starts to solidify her role as the next leader on our team moving forward. We’re losing some great leadership and Kayli has

to step into that role. I think for her it’s that symbolic moment that just speaks ‘Hey, you’re going to carry the torch.’” Sartori started all three UFV games during the national championships, averaging 11 point and 6.7 rebounds per game. She caught fire during the Cascades’ bronze medal match against the Saskatchewan Huskies, scoring 13 points (shooting 2-4 from behind the arc) and grabbing 9 rebounds. Her work against both Windsor in the semi-final and Saskatchewan in the final helped spark the Cascades to greater heights and revealed the leader that Sartori is becoming on the court. A hard player to clas-

sify, even by her own coaches, Sartori is an excellent mix of small forward and guard. She is as equally capable of taking over playmaking duties from teammate and starting point-guard Aieisha Luyken as she is posting up in the paint or driving to the rim. Her versatile play allows Cascades head coach Al Tuchscherer remarkable flexibility, as Sartori herself recognizes: “Sometimes Al’s looking for me to score, sometimes he’s looking for me to be a playmaker. It depends who we’re playing and which position I’m filling … I think that on the floor I bring a lot of versatility. If someone small is guarding me I can bring her down low, if she’s a bigger player I can pull her outside and drive past her.” Sartori also has high praise for coach Tuchscherer, who she insists has not only made her the player she is today, but also is the reason she is actually playing CIS ball. As for the award itself, Sartori is honored, but knows that bringing home the bronze medal is a team accomplishment: “To be honest it’s cool, but we all accomplished what we did, and it’s hard sometimes to be pulled out of the group and recognized individually. I don’t know if I deserve it. Actually, I think we all deserve it since I wouldn’t be here without them and they wouldn’t be here without me. All of us can say that.”

Passed away on Feb. 25, 2014, in Guelph, Ontario. She came here in June 2006, after being pre-deceased by Rudi, her husband of 61 years. Mom was also pre-deceased by son, Henry, in 1979. She is survived by three children, Margaret (John Baird), Ralph (Wendy) and Herman. She had 11 grand children, 17 great grand children, and one great-great grand child. Mom came to Canada in 1951 from Germany and settled in the Fraser Valley. In 1963, she moved to Beaverlodge, AB but always longed to be in Chilliwack, until she did return in 1980. We will return Mom to beautiful British Columbia, as she always hoped to do.

Vander Kooi Geertje “Gay”

May 4, 1916 - March 12, 2014 Gay Vander Kooi went to be with the Lord on Wednesday, March 12 at the age of 97. Mom was born on May 4, 1916 in Bergum, Friesland (The Netherlands). She married Dirk on October 12, 1944 and immigrated to Canada in 1950. They settled down on a farm in Yarrow where they raised their 5 children. They attended 1st CRC in Abbotsford where she sang in the church choir. After 23 years in Yarrow, they relocated to another farm in Chilliwack where some of the family continues to farm. Mom filled her life with family and friends. She always offered her help and loved playing games with them all. Mom also saw God’s beauty in nature, loved the mountains and would often say, don’t forget to smell the roses and count your many blessings. Many were blessed by her sweet smile, quick wit, kindness and love for all. She stole the hearts of everyone, calling them all by her favorite endearment, “HONEY”. Mom will be lovingly remembered by her children Stuart (Shirley), Gary (Flo), Linda (Glen) and David (Fran); 16 grandchildren; 24 great grandchildren; her brother Klaas (Sjoukje) in Holland and many other relatives and friends. She was predeceased by her husband Dirk, daughter Jean, son-in-law Pat and grandson Tim. A Celebration of Life Service was held at 1:30 pm on Wednesday, March 19, 2014 at Cornerstone Christian Reformed Church, 9800 McNaught Road; Rev. Bill Veenstra officiating. Mom was laid to rest in Chilliwack Cemeteries. Special thanks to the nurses and doctors at both Chilliwack Hospital and Cascade Hospice for all your kind and gentle care during Mom’s time there. Memorial donations may be made in Gay’s name to Ruth and Naomi’s Mission. Online condolences may be offered at www.woodlawn-mtcheam.ca.
