Restorative Justice funding merits another look: mayor Jennifer Feinberg The Progress Chilliwack put forth a resolution at the 2014 conference of the Union of B.C. Municipalities, urging the provincial government to undertake greater cost sharing for restorative justice programs across B.C. And it’s not the first time. Mayor Sharon Gaetz said G Restorative Chilliwack has long history of justice can aformally requestchange lives ing a greater funding share from the and direct province on this matter. people into a important “We continue healthier way to ask the provincial government of living to fund ongoing restorative jus~ Sharon tice programs, because we Gaetz know they bring results,” she said. The restorative approach, which brings together first-time offenders and those they’ve harmed in the community, to find concrete ways to help the parties heal from the incident. Statistically the programs are shown to effectively reduce recidivism, or repeat offences, by an estimated 87 per cent, she said. Offenders must accept responsibility for their actions, and they get to hear directly how their behaviour impacted the victim and supporters, as well as their own family. “Hopefully one day the provincial government will see the value of funding restorative justice,” Gaetz said. Provincial agencies used to fund restorative programs, she noted, but at one point reverted to providing startup funds only.

Const. Jamie Rae, along with program coordinator and dairy farmer, Devin Toop, have started Agri-Watch in Chilliwack. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Banding together to stop rural crime New Agri-Watch program has farmers helping farmers Eric Welsh The Progress Think of property crime in Chilliwack, and the area around Five Corners might spring to mind. But while the downtown is perceived as an epicentre of criminal behaviour, the truth is it’s everywhere. Even in peaceful rural settings, known for grazing cows and corn stalks waving in the breeze, bad things happen. “Dairy farms have a lot of high-dollar items, a lot of steel and a lot of wire,” said Devan Toop. “We have thieves come in to take tools or strip out our wiring and plumbing. A lot of

people come to this community with the expectation that you can keep your door unlocked and trust your neighbour. And that’s why a lot of bad people come to the country as well, because they feel people are a bit lax in protecting their property.” A new program coordinated by Toop and a diversified advisory committee looks to address rural crime in a proactive way. Operating in Greendale since April, and looking to expand elsewhere, Agri-Watch is uniting a wide range of farmers (dairy, poultry, hay, nursery) in a common cause. Modelled after the Block Watch program, property own-

ers purchase reflective signs to post on their property. A small sign costs $28. A large sign costs $70. Statistics say the presence of signs alone can cause crime to drop by approximately 80 per cent. Agri-Watch participants also get access to a closed Facebook page where they can report break-ins and suspicious activity. “It’s a community-driven program where we band together to help ourselves and help the police,” said Toop, who’s had everything from motorcycles to pressure-washers stolen from his properties. “Many times a farmer gets something stolen, he checks his insurance deduct-

ible and says, ‘Well, maybe it’s worth it and maybe it’s not.’ When they don’t report a crime, it skews the statistics and lowers the police presence in an area where it may be needed. Maybe the biggest thing this program does it make it easier for farmers to report problems.” “Most of what was going on in Greendale wasn’t being reported,” added Cst. Jamie Rae, the RCMP liaison for the AgriWatch program. “People told me they didn’t have time, which is understandable, or they didn’t want to bother us with something so small. Or they didn’t think anything could be done. Part of the program is educating people about when and why to call police.” Continued: WATCH/ p6

News

Opposition strong to expanded agricultural land uses Tom Fletcher Black Press The B.C. government’s proposals to expand food processing, retail and alcohol sales on farmland got a rough ride during a summer consultation tour with farmers, local governments and individuals invited to comment. The agriculture ministr y released a summary of submissions this week, after closed-door meetings in August with community, farming, ranching and agricultural industry representa-

tives. The meetings were set up to develop regulations after the province passed legislation this spring, dividing the Agricultural Land Reserve into two zones with the intent of easing restrictions on farm-related and non-farm revenue activities. A proposal to revise regulations restricting food storage, processing and retail sales, requiring half of products to be produced on the farm, was rejected by “a considerable majority of stakeholders from all regions,” the summary states. With wineries and cideries

already allowed on farmland, a proposal to extend the regulation to include breweries, distilleries and meaderies was supported by a majority in all regions, particularly from local governments in Zone 1, the Lower Mainland, Okanagan and Vancouver Island. Wineries and cideries are allowed without approval from the Agricultural Land Commission, as long as half of the materials are produced on the farm. Some questioned whether that rule would work for breweries and distilleries, with hops, malting barley and dis-

tilling grain not produced in large quantities in B.C. The government’s suggestion to allow larger tasting areas for wine, cider and potentially beer and distilled liquor was also rejected by “a considerable majority” of respondents. Selling alcoholic products not produced on the host farm was also opposed by a large majority, with opposition strongest in the North and Vancouver Island regions. The loudest opposition came in response to the suggestion to allow a wider range of non-farm activi-

ties without approval of the ALC. The strongest supporters were landowners in Zone 2 (Interior, Kootenay and North regions). Oil and gas services on farmland are already allowed in northeastern B.C. under supervision of the Oil and Gas Commission. The proposal to waive ALC approval for farmland subdivisions larger than a quarter section (64 hectares) was also opposed by a large majority, but the suggestion of leasing farmland to put it into production was widely supported.

Owner irked by 700 per cent lease hike Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A Cultus Lake business owner is worried she is being squeezed out of Cultus Lake Park, after being hit with an almost 700 per cent increase to the base lease rate for 2014, in addition to proposed rate hikes for the on-site caretaker suites. Wendy Croshaw, owner of Funland and Frosty’s Ice Cream, located across and over from the Cultus Lake Water Park, said the “outrageous” caretaker suite increases will cost her more than $20,000 on top of a base lease rate. The Funland-Frosty’s owners transformed what were once riding stables, into a children’s theme park back in 2002, she said. “From the beginning of our development, which was a huge undertaking both physical and financial, we encountered security issues,” Croshaw said. That necessitated building caretakers suites so that they would be a deterrent to theft, vandalism and other property crime, which was rampant. “We were our own solution to our off-season security issues,” she said, citing auto theft, vandalism and nuisance incidents. Over the years, the rates went up, but the relationship between the business and park board was also tested. The business owners filed a suit in B.C. Supreme Court in response to the park board attempting to find the Funland operation “nonconforming” and in “breach of land use.” “In July 2014 our consent dismissal order was filed and we won our case,” Croshaw said, adding that the legal battle cost the business owners $6,000. “That’s a lot of ice cream, and I have no idea what going to court cost the park board.” This summer they hosted Dinotown on the Funland site and enjoyed “a favourable response” from customers. “Unfortunately, only days after we ended our season, the (Park) Board delivered a motion (passed

by the board) that will attempt not only to raise my base lease rent by 700 per cent but they have asked an appraiser commissioned in April 2014 to provide a rental rate for the two security/caretaker suites on our leased property.” The result was a proposed rate of $9,600 per year for the secondary suite that her in-laws live in and $12,000 per year for the primary suite that the owners live in. That’s an extra $21,600 per year. “That’s in addition to the outrageous amount of base lease rent that the Board is now attempting to charge us for a seasonal business in a very seasonal area,” Croshaw said. She said they’re just trying to make a go of it. “It is difficult not to wonder if the board is trying to squeeze us out, but we are encouraged by our community that are starting to speak out against the actions of this Board.” She suggested this scenario could

become election fodder next month. “The thing is when you are negotiating, you don’t kick someone in the head. That’s not negotiating. That’s bullying.” Park board chair Sacha Peter acknowledged they had hired a professional appraiser to valuate the Funland owner’s lease rates. When a long-term leaseholder exercises the option to renew at Cultus Lake Park, there is a clause that requires both parties to come to agreement on the lease value. “When there is no agreement, there is an option to go to arbitration,” the park board chair said. The appraiser crunched the numbers, using similar or comparable locations in the Chilliwack area, to bring the lease to fair market value, Peter said. “They came up with a number that is significantly higher than what they had been paying in the past,” he said.

LIMITEKD! STOC

The owners paid a much lower base lease rent from 2007 to 2012. The latest proposed increase came as part of the renewal process for the five-year lease. “Clearly there is contractual dispute here. But we do have an appraised value to work with,” Peter said. “I think it’s fair to say the leaseholder has received very good value.” He said he could neither “confirm nor deny” that the base lease rate was increased by up to 700 per cent. “Negotiations are ongoing,” added Peter. The park board chair added that he was “disappointed” the business owner chose to try to negotiate the matter through the press. “They received very good value for what they paid,” he repeated. “Ideally we would like to come to some sort of agreement, without having to go to arbitration.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com

North South Military owner Cam Hull announced he’s running for mayor of Chilliwack. The downtown store owner is the second mayoral candidate to declare, in the wake of incumbent Sharon Gaetz confirming last week she would stand for re-election. “After much soul searching and being prodded by people I respect, I have decided to run for the office of Mayor of Chilliwack,” Hull wrote on a Facebook page. “I believe we need a fresh vision for our city and we are at a time when people must have a clear choice.” His priorities include preser ving landmarks, and revitalizing downtown “without ripping down whole blocks and destroying small businesses.” He’s against locating the Aevitas waste recycling plant near the Fraser, and wants a city council that is both “transparent and accountable,” and respects agriculture. Hull wants Chilliwack to “grow at a reasonable rate without having to spend $18 million on houses built on a landslide,” he said. He also questions the $600,000 earmarked for consultant Walas Concepts “to tell us what we already know” about the downtown, in terms of revitalization plans. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

Cities push for restorative justice JUSTICE from Front But the money is always “well-spent,” Gaetz noted. “Restorative justice can change lives and

direct people into a healthier way of living,” she said. The UBCM resolution, titled Restorative Justice Program Funding, was pro-

ing to cost share in the Restorative Justice programs across the province.” There’s still hope. “It just seems to be something that merits another look. It’s a nobrainer.” C h i l l i w a c k Restorative Justice and Youth Advocacy Association formed in June 1998, aimed at fostering a safe and caring community through restorative processes. The program provides mentoring and a forum for victims and payment of monetary restitution to victims collected from offenders.

The evergreen tree was lit up with strings of purple bulbs Wednesday night marking the official kickoff of Purple Light Nights 2014 in Chilliwack. A key part of the Purple Light Nights campaign is defining what relationship violence is actually about, said Beverly Coles of Specialized Victim Services. “Last year we talked about having a conversation, each one of us, a conversation about domestic violence,” she said in her speech. “This year we continue that conversation.” The purple lights are not only a conversation starter but also stand as a visual tribute to the many survivors and victims of violence. “By raising awareness we hope to define what relationship violence is all about, how it starts, how it continues and what we can do about stopping it,” said Coles. “The first thing we need to do is acknowledge that women and vulnerable people are hurt in our communities every day in British Columbia.” She told the small crowd at Ken’s Tire and Wheel that 164 women are physically or sexually abused every day in B.C. “That’s 60,000 every year.” She also made it crystal clear that relationship violence is about the vulnerable person in the relationship, “and there are times that vulnerable person is also a man.” The PLN was adopted locally in 2006 by members of the Chilliwack Violence Against Women in Relationships committee. The Violence Against Women in Relationships committee is a broad-based community ef for t, that involves service providers working to prevent violence, picking up the pieces after the violence occurs, and supporting those affected.

Agri-Watch program to be expanded to other parts of Chilliwack Rae says Chilliwack is unique in its layout. Rarely does he see urban residential as close to farmland as it is here, allowing crime to spill out

of the city. “For example, in rural Alberta where I’m from, you’ll never see somebody riding through farmland on a bicycle,” he explained. “Whereas

here, some of the same people who are riding around downtown Chilliwack stealing from vehicles in the middle of the night are doing the same things in the rural

areas. Because they can.” Rae credits Toop and his fellow farmers for taking initiative and believes the community-driven model should ensure the program endures,

even as RCMP liaisons change. “We are invested in the community and we aren’t going anywhere, so you can always count on us to be vigilant,” said Toop,

to properly gauge our success. But personally, it’s already increased my comfort level because I’m communicating more with the farmers around me.” Rae and Toop hope to take the program to Yarrow next, with cooperation from Abbotsford Community Policing. Rosedale, East Chilliwack, Ryder Lake and the Columbia Valley are also on the radar. “Once we get the ball rolling we’ll be able to compare startup stats to where we are in a year,” Rae said. “We’re looking to find someone in Yarrow who wants to spearhead it the way Devan has here. Once we get the program up and running in all of those areas, we’ll really be able to track the stats to see how successful it is.” For info, contact Rae at the Community Policing Office at 604-393-3000.

It has been 10 years since I graduated from the University of Victoria with my kinesiology degree, and started my career as a health and fitness coach. Needless to say, a lot has changed in 10 years. Trends have come and gone, new research has challenged my beliefs, and perhaps I’ve learned the most from my clients’ experiences. In the past 10 years, I have changed some of my own habits, as well as the ways I help clients. I will share six lessons that I have learned since starting my career as a personal trainer, and how I you can apply those lessons to help improve your own health.

negative, or toward something positive. Many (I’d even say most) people start an exercise program because they want to move away from their current state of health. They are unhappy with their appearance. Tanja Many SHAW have focused on family or career and are disappointed that they let their body go. The dissatisfaction with oneself is a good reason to start, but won’t be enough to keep going and to make a lasting change. The first reason is that as soon as some of the negative feeling passes (perhaps you lose a few pounds) the pressure to stick with the program lessens. You may relax a little, and can easily slip into old habits. The second reason is the scale may not move, or move as quickly as you want it to. Imagine sticking perfectly to a program, and two weeks later on your weigh in you are exactly the same weight? Chances are, you feel defeated, and think, “what’s the point?” Take Action: First, make a list of all the positive advantages of sticking to a healthy eating and exercise program. Perhaps you want to have more energy, or want to be a good role model for your kids. Read the list daily to remind yourself why you are on this journey. Second, redefine success. Create action-orientated measures of success instead of a number on the scale. For example, success could be walking three days per week, or planning your meals each week. • What you eat isn’t as important as why you eat. Ten years ago I understood that nutrition was an important part of how one looks and feels. I did believe, however, that the path to success was Continued: HEALTH/ p15

Action on crime prevention

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

Complacency is a great enabler of crime. It’s the perfect medium where illegal behaviour can take root and flourish. We often don’t even know it’s happening. We assume an incident is isolated; that it won’t happen again; that reporting it to police will do no good. But crime prevention is like pulling weeds: they’re easier to pull one at a time. Ignoring them, or avoiding the job for too long, only makes the task more difficult. That’s why programs like Argi-Watch are so important. (See story, front page.) They provide the tools necessary to respond quickly and effectively when our neighbourhoods are at risk. Modeled after Block Watch, it demonstrates the power of numbers. It shows that neighbours watching out for neighbours can be an effective deterrent against property crimes. Tapping the power of social media, and working in concert with RCMP, the program enables residents to be better aware of potential problems in their area. It allows them to share information, compare notes and take precautions. That’s not always the case. Rural crime often goes unreported for a couple of reasons. One is that the insurance deductible is higher than in an urban neighbourhood. Consequently, the loss of a power tool or the disappearance of fuel might not warrant a call to the insurance broker and therefore a report to police. And yet these calls are exactly what police need to track crime and identify hotspots. It provides the intelligence that allows them to focus resources where they’re needed. But it also gives neighbours the heads-up that something isn’t right. Maybe that unfamiliar blue truck parked in the neighbour’s yard shouldn’t be there. It would be nice to think of our pastoral landscape as immune to crime. But it’s not. And proactive initiatives like Block Watch and Agri-Watch give us the tools to fight back.

L OCALLY G LOBAL

Troubling trends in global wildlife populations The World Wildlife Fund released its tenth Living Planet Report 2014 this week and it showed an alarming decrease in the population size of species around the world. Between 1970 and 2010 the size of populations decreased by a whopping 52 per cent, a much steeper decline than reported in previous years. The methodology of the Living Planet Index was fine-tuned to more accurately calculate trends in 10,380 populations of 3,038 vertebrate species (fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals). Even more startling was that the population decline in freshwater fish species increased to 76 per cent, a far more rapid decline (39 per cent) than marine and terrestrial species populations. The most dramatic regional decline was found in South America closely followed by the Asia-Pacific region. But in land-

based areas that received protection (as in preserves, reserves and national parks), the population decline averaged 18 per cent, less than half the rate of decline found in the overall study. While declines are happening in all regions, the decline is greater in the tropics. The repor t showed that the 6,569 populations of 1,606 species in the Margaret temperate region EVANS declined by 36 per cent over the 40 year period while the tropical region showed a 56 per cent reduction in 3,811 populations of 1,638 species over the same period. The sharpest marine declines were found in the tropics and the Southern Ocean. The problem stems from competition for space between

humans taking land for urban development, industry, and agriculture, and wild species needing habitat for survival. By the numbers, population loss is a result of exploitation (37 per cent), habitat degradation/ change (31.4 per cent), habitat loss (13.4 per cent), climate change (7.1 per cent), invasive species (5.1 per cent), pollution (four per cent), and disease (two per cent). The report really underscored the global problem of land demands. “The Ecological Footprint shows that 1.5 Earths would be required to meet the demands humanity makes on nature each year,” the authors wrote. “For more than 40 years, humanity’s demand has exceeded the planet’s biocapacity – the amount of biologically productive land and sea areas that are available to regenerate these resources. This continuing overshoot is

making it more and more difficult to meet the needs of a growing global human population, as well as to leave space for other species. Adding further complexity is that demand is not evenly distributed, with people in industrialized countries consuming resources and services at a much faster rate.” Freshwater species are faced with not only habitat loss and fragmentation but pollution and the destructive problems created by invasive species. Shrinking wetlands, disappearing streams, and increasing salinity in lakes because of water extraction for irrigation have resulted in a sharp rise in fish mortality and a corresponding crisis in water availability. Making things more difficult is the fact that demand on water is not evenly distributed, with people in industrialized countries consuming resources and services at a much faster rate.

The water footprint shows the massive volumes of water needed to support human lifestyles, especially agriculture. The global human population will grow but the water it needs for survival will not. Fixing the complex problems won’t be easy and it won’t be short term. The foundation of WWF’s One Planet Perspective is based on preserving natural capital, producing goods in a sustainable way, consuming more wisely, re-directing financial flows to create urban centres with a lower environmental footprint, and practicing equitable resource governance which means managing cities with vision and forward thinking policies. The good news is that many cities and smaller communities are already putting these policies into place. Many more must jump onboard. Failure is not an option.

Carbon tax just more hot air Margaret Evans continues to tell the story that the Earth is getting warmer and excess human carbon emissions are to blame. But she has left out much of the story. It’s the part of the story that says the Earth is not warming, and it has not been warming for a substantial period of time. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC), a UN committee, has published several accounts that deny many of Ms. Evans’ claims. The IPCC published in 2012 that it agreed the world has not been warming as stated by Univ. of East Anglia, NOAA, and other agencies for at least the last 15 to 20 years. Sea ice has increased in all the places that scientists have expressed the greatest concern. Also, the IPCC has reviewed and published the findings of scientists

that state extreme weather events have not been linked to man-made carbon emissions. Heavy storms are not caused by humans. And, Margaret’s claim that our recent hot summer is an indicator that we are warming the planet, does not account for this year’s early cold and snowfall registered in Alberta. The truth is that many of our governments have made plans other than saving our planet for the funds generated by taxing carbon producing humans. In an email conversation with our local MLA, Laurie Throness, I suggested that a financial solution to funding B.C.’s education system would be to use the Carbon Tax revenue, since there was really no need to save us from the effects of our carbon production. Laurie’s response was: “about the use of the carbon tax, it’s now used for

tax reductions in other areas, so diverting it would cause an effective tax increase.” So you see, the funds are not now, and really never were meant to help B.C. decrease its carbon footprint. It was a plan to implement a perpetual new tax. And like the increases to ICBC rates that really go into general tax revenue, it is just more tax money for our provincial public servants to squander. I am grateful that Canada does not plan to send delegates to upcoming Climate Conferences. I urge voters to tell our MLAs to drop the carbon tax. And, for Margaret Evans, the science is settled; the sun is the major controller of climate and global temperature. Gary Raddysh Chilliwack, BC

Time to bring back capital punishment? In the aftermath of some terrible shootings and killings one wonders how these incidents can be reduced, and those responsible punished. Secular humanism is ruling the roost but let’s consider an alternative. Every time there is

some outrage the government is called upon to do “something.” Why are there so many murders and other serious offenses? Could it be that the punishments for these crimes are far too lenient and the misfits who carry out

these acts have no fear because of the soft punishments handed out by the courts? When capital punishment was on the books for murder, would-be murderers would have thought hard and long before carrying out their

crimes. Instead of putting murderers in jail for a few years, to later be released and re-offend, serious consideration should be given to the re-introduction of capital punishment. Jay Nauss

The Meals on Wheels program helps people to stay in the comfort and familiarity of their own home and avoid the stress of preparing meals. Meals on Wheels offer fresh and nutritious meals to seniors and those recovering from illness, injury, or living with disabilities. Each meal consists of an entrée, choice of soup or salad and a small dessert. Meals on Wheels alleviate some of the stress involved with taking care of elderly parents. One client heard about Meals on Wheels and decided to sign up his mother, with some resistance at first. “When I told my mom that each day someone would be coming to the house to bring her lunch, she wasn’t very happy. However, as the days went by, “the meals” - as she calls it, became one of the highlights of her day. She now looks forward to seeing the friendly and caring volunteers and I feel better because someone is checking in on her regularly.” Monthly menus are provided with two delicious options to choose from. The cost per meal is $6.50 and deliveries are made Monday to Friday between 11:30 – 1:30. There is no delivery on weekends and statutory holidays but frozen meals are available for added convenience. Volunteer drivers use their own vehicles to deliver the meals right to the door of each client. We are currently looking for more volunteer drivers! Delivery routes include Chilliwack and Sardis. If you are interested in arranging meal delivery or becoming a volunteer, contact Shirley at 604.793.7242 or triemstras@comserv.bc.ca.

Wellness

Strategies for better health HEALTH from page 11 as simple as drawing up a plan of how many calories to eat, what type of foods, and what foods to avoid. I quickly learned that most people’s problem with food was not due to lack of knowledge, but because their eating decisions were dictated by emotions. We eat when we’re tired, bored, stressed, happy, when we need love and connection, because we are putting off doing something that we don’t really want to do. Take Action:

Emotional eating is a topic that is too big to tackle in a paragraph, or even an entire article. You can start, however, by becoming aware of your emotions. Before you eat, ask yourself the simple question “Am I hungry?” If the answer is no, and you’re still wanting to eat, you need something else. A worthwhile resource on emotional eating is Eat what you love, love what you eat by Michelle May. • Exercise is not the answer to weight loss. I used to

think that if someone wanted to lose weight, they just needed to workout more. While this idea is sound in theory, it often doesn’t work out in real life. While exercise is important is weight loss and weight maintenance, but not necessarily because of its calorie burning effect. For example, exercise improves mood and overall sense of wellbeing, giving you energy and stamina to make other healthier choices. Strength training builds muscle, which improves body composition and helps to maintain your metabolism while you lose weight. Exercise helps you sleep better. Sleep deprivation interferes with appetite-suppressing hormones, increases stress hormone levels, and decreases a person’s glucose tolerance, all of which may contribute to weight gain. Another way

sleep loss may help pile on the pounds: late-night munching. Exercise helps to manage stress; stress hormones are linked to increased abdominal fat. Exercise improves creativity, memory, and mental acuity. Exercise just simply feels good. Take Action: Similar to No. 1 on my list, focus on the positive benefits of exercise rather than a means to burn calories or lose weight. In my next article I’m going to share with you three more things I’ve learned, including a bit about fat and what how you should spend your time at the gym.

Local author, inspirational speaker, and cancer survivor, Glenda Standeven, now has her books available for purchase on Amazon and Kindle. Pictured here on an iPad, her book What Men Won’t Talk About… and Women Need to Know: A Woman’s Perspective on Prostate Cancer, has been in high demand. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Standeven’s cancer books available on Amazon, Kindle Jenna Hauck The Progress Glenda Standeven is taking the next big step forward in her career as an author. Last month her two books, What Men Won’t Talk About… and Women Need to Know: A Woman’s Perspective on Prostate Cancer, and I Am Choosing to Smile, became available on Amazon and Kindle. “Being on Amazon and Kindle is huge,” says Standeven. “I know we will save lives, and to be part of something you know is going to save a life is a really big deal for me.” “And all they have to do is read it,” she says, referring to men. “It’s the same thing for women, we need to be aware because men won’t talk about it.” She’s speaking specifically about her book about prostate cancer. It’s an informative and humorous book which was written after

her husband, Rick, was diagnosed with the disease in 2011. The book comes complete with technical information and resources on prostate cancer. Standeven is an inspirational speaker and cancer survivor herself. She lost her right leg to chondrosarcoma in 1988, a bone cancer that is resistant to chemotherapy and radiation. After writing I Am Choosing to Smile (a rewritten story about her battle with cancer taken from Choosing to Smile, a book written by Standeven and two friends), she decided to write the book on prostate cancer two years after her husband’s diagnosis. As a result of a 10-week Western Canada book launch tour in the spring, readers were wanting additional copies of What Men Won’t Talk About… and Women Need to Know to give to their family members and friends. “People were asking ‘where can

I get more?’,” she says. Even the book stores were calling and asking for more copies. Coles in Cottonwood Mall sold out twice in the spring when it first came out. That’s when Standeven decided to expand to a much larger audience and sell her books on Amazon and Kindle. “There’s no way I could reach that many people doing one event at a time,” she says referring to the 30 speaking engagements she did during her spring tour. Before, the only online option was to purchase the books directly from her website. One by one, Standeven would process each order, sign every book, and then drop them off at the post office. It was a lot of work. Since her books became so popular so quickly, the most logical answer was to offer them through one of the top online book stores in the world.

With help from her friend and Agassiz author, Wendy Dewar Hughes, all the paperwork and legal forms were completed in the summer. The two books have been available on Amazon and Kindle since the beginning of September. So far, Standeven has been spreading the news just by wordof-mouth, but soon both books’ online presence will be more noticeable. Now that her books are going to be accessible to readers around the globe she has to “find a way to market it, so I’m going to have a session with someone who does online marketing,” she says. What Men Won’t Talk About… and Women Need to Know has a strong message in an easy-to-read format, and at 82 pages, it’s small. “It’s compact for men so they’re not intimidated by the size, and for women it has the story because women connect toward the emotional side. The men want to

read the technical stuff,” says Standeven. “Talking about sex in a healthy way with your spouse is so important,” she says. She will be doing a book reading on Oct. 10 during the inaugural Book Lover’s Bucket List Event in honour of World Hospice and Palliative Care Day from 10 a.m. to noon at the Chilliwack Library. Pre-registration is required by calling 604-792-1941. The Kindle edition of What Men Won’t Talk About… and Women Need to Know: A Woman’s Perspective on Prostate Cancer, is $3 and I Am Choosing to Smile is $5 on Amazon.com. Hard copies of the books are also available for $9.47 and $16.19, respectively. For more info, go to www.iamchoosingtosmile.com. photo@theprogess.com twitter.com/PhotoJennalism

mid-range torque making the Mustang accelerate easily and it passes well on the highway. There isn’t the classic V8 rumble but this compromise is easy to take, knowing that this model has plenty of power for the average daily commuter. The true muscle car enthusiast will be attracted to the 435hp 5.0L V8. Power goes through either a 6-speed manual or 6-speed automatic with paddle shifters on the steering wheel. The big change to the chassis is the introduction of an independent rear suspension and modified front suspension, plus bigger brakes. Carving through the canyons outside of L.A. was a treat, the platform is very forgiving and there is no longer any unstable mid-corner surprises found in the older cars, just a very sure-footed modern car. Verdict 50 years is a long time to continually produce a single car model. What comes out of this is a cumulative result that is

hard to beat. The engineers have done a great job of bringing the suspension into the modern world and the new EcoBoost engine will be very popular, once people try it. The old-school buyers will be attracted to the meaty V8 but often, sensible decisions prevail and the EcoBoost is a solid experience. The styling is stunning, inside and out. To be blunt, this car will be a homerun for Ford. There are two things I’d like to see improved. The seat back has no electric actuation, which means getting the right spot is hard to achieve. The second is the suspension in the GT can be a bit bouncy over city conditions but settles right down at highway speeds – pretty minor stuff for an all-new car.

driveway Tips your dad should have taught you We’re not always around a fully stocked garage, auto parts store or tool chest when the need arises to save the day with a big repair. Sometimes, when you have a breakdown you’ve got to go with what falls readily to hand, whether it’s duct tape, J-B Weld or a coat hanger. Here are five stories of some truly epic improvised repairs: Dormitory parking lot transmission repair: Rory Carroll is now the executive editor of Autoweek magazine. While at Michigan State University, he was foolish enough to loan his 1991 Volkswagen Golf GTI to a fellow student the day before he was supposed to make the three-hour drive home to Traverse City,

Mich. “When he returned the keys to me, he told me that the car had made a loud noise when he’d parked it.” Carroll found the GTI in the dorm parking lot sitting in a pool of oil; the “friend,” however, was nowhere to be seen. Two chunks of transaxle case were lying in the middle of said pool. Carroll took a bus to a hardware store where he purchased some J-B Weld and, optimistically, four quarts of transaxle oil. He cleaned the pieces of the transaxle case in his dorm room sink, mixed up the J-B Weld and drove the Golf up onto the curb to get at the transaxle. Carroll pushed the metal fragments and J-B Weld back into place, wedged them in with a piece

It happened AGAIN! Good thing we know O’Connor Collision so well!!

of wood and waited a few hours before refilling the transaxle with oil and hitting the road — into the jaws of a winter storm as only Northern Michigan can do them. Blown head gasket and cylinder head during a race: The 24 Hours of LeMons is an endurance race for $500 cars. The organizers say that the premise, “isn’t just an oxymoron, it’s a breeding ground for morons.” Damned resourceful morons, anyway — perhaps even the Steve Jobs and Thomas Edison of the improvised repair world. Team Dr. Feelgood’s 1993 Dodge Shadow was participating in “Capitol Offense,” the D.C.-area version of the infamous motorsports affront, when not surprisingly; the Shadow blew a head gasket and disintegrated part of the cylinder head itself. The intrepid racers made a new gasket and slathered J-B Weld on the toasted cylinder head, allowing them to finish the race and win the coveted Judge’s Choice Award without having to resort to a bribe, as is customary for awards in the LeMons world. Leaky radiator addressed by another kind of leak: Tim Suddard is the publisher of Classic Motorsports and Grassroots Motorsports magazines. No stranger to ill-advised road trips in old cars, Suddard (who resides in Florida) was on a crosscountry road trip in a vintage motor home, when it sprang a leak in its radiator while traversing sparsely populated Wyoming. He valiantly dumped every liquid in the motor home into the radiator but still fell short of the nearest town (and bathroom) by a few miles. He killed two birds with one stone, and you can guess how. Fabricated Florida fan belt: Another time, Suddard found himself behind the wheel of a questionable machine, a dilapidated early 1990s vintage E30 BMW 318. Rather than towing the car home, he elected to drive the tired Bimmer the 200

odd miles home. Predictably, something failed (in this case, a fan belt in I-95 Miami rush hour). The ever-resourceful Suddard reached for the only thing that fell readily to hand, a roll of duct tape known to racers affectionately as “200 mph tape.” By twisting a length of it repeatedly, and then fastening the ends, Suddard was able to fashion a temporary fan belt that allowed him to make it home. Failed generator generates repeat battery purchases: Suddard is clearly a good guy to have around when you break down. In the third chapter of the Suddard trilogy, a few years back, he bought a 1963 Ford Ranchero. The seller assured Suddard it was ready to drive across the country. Taking him at his word, Suddard set off in the Ranchero on a cross-country drive. As it turns out, it was far from road ready with no heat and a failing generator. Given the fact that Ford had switched from alternators to generators for the 1965 model year, there were none to be found in any auto parts stores along the way. Suddard simply stocked up on batteries and a battery charger — enough batteries to power a Soviet-era diesel/ electric submarine. He drove (during the daytime only) on the batteries and charged them in the hotel room at night.

Three red peppers and a bright red roadster to go, please that reveals that women play a major role in the purchase decisions made in around 80 percent of car sales. And it’s obvious that most males really do not spend their days trolling automotive websites, as

Total strangers often boldly approach us in the veggies’ section to ask what car they should buy next.

Keith Morgan

Judging by the number of people who stop to chat to members of the Driveway team in the supermarket, most of you still rely on newspapers like this one to help narrow down your next-car shortlist. Total strangers often boldly approach us in the veggies’ section to ask what car they should buy next. After a few questions about what their budget is and how they will use the vehicle, we can usually give them five products to consider. I should add, that lead reviewer Zack Spencer fields most questions in airport lounges across the country! Next to house buying, it’s generally a family’s second largest purchase made so it should be no surprise that people want to seek advice. We learned earlier this year, that polling revealed that our readers will spend a staggering $3.6 billion on new cars in the next year and another $1.69 million on used cars or preowned, if we are to be sensitive to the feelings of those vehicles with a few kilometres on their clock! It’s true there are so many electronic ways now available to do that basic research. But while the internet and social media play an important role in your car selection, auto writers romance you in print over the months leading up to you signing on the dotted line. We bring you news of the latest products and test drive as many of them as we can for you. What has changed dramatically in recent years is the way we present that information. For many years, automotive sections were a strictly male domain and we thought that all we needed to do was make a few remarks about a subject car’s handling, print some pictures then list its specifications. Pretty boring, really, unless you are a car nut. Now there is solid research

www. CHILLIWACK chilliwackford .com 30309 5-09F CF1

some would have us believe. Some men will even admit they really don’t know that much about cars. I know, say it ain’t so. For the aforementioned reasons, we at Driveway try to bring you stories about,

or involving cars, that are of a broader interest. Whenever possible, we bring your lifestyle-oriented stories that may involve, travel, fashion and even music that speak to regular folks. Just one example. Who

could resist reading recently about Alexandra Straub’s drive in an Audi from Munich to Budapest, just to have a home cooked meal with her grandparents. Judging by the response, not many! We even included the

menu and recipe. In the coming year, we will continue to share such stories with you, to entertain you and inform you. And we want to hear your stories about your road trips, your favourite cars and what you

would like to read more about in Driveway. Please don’t hesitate to drop me a line or stop me in the meat section of the supermarket, which is more likely where you will find me. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

www.theprogress.com Install smoke detectors and check the batteries regularly. Make a habit of checking the batteries when changing your clocks during daylight savings. A smoke detector should be installed outside of every bedroom and on every level of the house. Have a fire extinguisher in an easily accessible location. Ensure the fire extinguisher is charged and that you understand how to operate it. Remove combustible materials from around the house. Do not allow old clothing, rags, newspapers, or cardboard boxes to accumulate and be careful to avoid storing anything too close to heaters, furnaces or electrical equipment.

October 5 - 11

Fire Extinguisher 101 Follow the acronym PASS to properly put out the fire. PULL the pin in the extinguisher. AIM the nozzle or hose at the base of the flames. SQUEEZE the trigger. SWEEP the foam across the fire base; do not just aim in one place.

Stay Fire Safe at Home An important fire safety program is in place in communities across British Columbia throughout Fire Prevention Week October 5-11, 2014, and extending over the entire month. I am writing to make all parents aware of the initiative and how they can help. Fire departments are working with teachers to educate children about the importance of properly functioning and installed smoke alarms. Watch for “Test and Replace Your Smoke Alarm” homework kit in your child’s backpack, which includes a home fire escape plan and “Test and Replace” Fire Safety Checklist. The packages are designed to work in tandem with the website www.safeathome.ca/testandreplace. It is critical to know that working smoke alarms installed correctly throughout your home, double the chances of surviving a catastrophic house fire. To ensure your families safety from fire, you

Do not leave candles unattended. Candles can be easily knocked over and start a fire. Candles are one of the top causes of house fires.

MUST TEST YOUR SMOKE ALARMS MONTHLY to confirm they are in proper working order. Smoke alarm batteries must be replaced with fresh ones at least once per year. Also, smoke alarms do not last forever. If your smoke alarm is more than 10 years old it must be replaced. Outdated alarms might not provide the protection you count on. Some new models feature 10-year lithium batteries which never need to be changed and last the full life of the alarm. Please be fire safe and ‘Test and Replace Your Smoke Alarms’ this Fire Prevention Week. Help your family learn about FIRE SAFETY and you could WIN! Visit: safeathome.ca/testandreplace for full details.

A salute to those men and women who risk their lives to save ours.

Keep the chimney clean. Inspect the chimney flue regularly and have it cleaned. Establish a home fire evacuation plan. Determine the safest exits from the house and establish a place where the family will meet outdoors. Do a few practice runs so that everyone will be accustomed to getting out quickly.

Tip: Never leave burning candles unattended.

Keep electrical space heaters at least 3 feet away from any drapery, bedding and flammable material. Turn off the heater when you leave the room. 10/13T_CC8

Keep things like dishtowels, bags and curtains at least three feet away from your kitchen stove.

We give thanks to all our firefighters for keeping us safe!

Stingy D leads to fast start Nationally N i ll noticed i d o

The Chiefs are the only BCHL team that has yet to lose a game, and they should be ranked high, writes Jacob

Eric J. Welsh, The Progress The Chilliwack Chiefs are off to a 4-0 start this year, not because they’re scoring bushels of goals. It’s because they’re keeping pucks out of their net. The Chiefs have surrendered a league low seven goals in wins over the Powell River Kings (6-3), Merritt Centennials (2-1) and Surrey Eagles (2-1 and 6-2). A refreshing change from last year when Prospera Centre goal lights burned out from over-use. Eric Roberts is the lone holdover from last year’s D corps, one that coughed up a league-high 285 goals in 58 games (4.91 per game). The Abbotsford native wasn’t a big part of the problem last year, but he is a huge part of the solution this year. He’s returned bigger and far more physical, leading a resurgent blueline crew. “I think maybe everyone wasn’t on the same page last year,” Roberts said when asked what went wrong in 2013-14. “Not everyone bought in and there were breakdowns. It didn’t feel good, but that’s beyond us now. It’s a new year and the guys we have are able to ensure a successful year.” They do look good. Big Vinnie Desharnais has already been identified as a National Hockey League prospect. Collectively, guys like Roberts, Evan McEachern, Brandon Tkachuk, Mark Esposito, Olivier Arseneau and Dennis Choloski are making life easy for goalies Mitchell Datz and Aidan Pelino. Very few point-blank shots and no uncovered opponents cruising through the slot. Most of what Pelino and Datz have faced has come from

Bestebroer Hockey season is back, and so is Jacob Bestebroer’s weekly column, discussing the Chilliwack Chiefs and goings on around the BCHL.

the outside, and the net- guy where I’m always minders have shown a trying to work my hardrefreshing ability to make est, do all the right things and make sure I’m not the first save. “The most important slacking at all,” he said, thing is everyone is on describing his personal the same page,” Roberts style. “I want to be a guy said. “Jason (head coach anyone feels comfortable Tatarnic) preaches buy- coming to talk to, but being captain also ing in and doing means being the what it takes to guy who someget the win, and times has to deliveveryone is doing er a kick in the that.” butt if someone’s Rober ts is not pulling their wearing the capweight.” tain’s C for the Most of that Chiefs, which tells he learned from you how highly Thompson. Tatarnic thinks of Eric “Work ethic the 19 year old. “It’s exciting, an ROBERTS was the big thing with him, how honour and a privihard he worked lege,” Robert said after a recent practice. on and off the ice,” “This is my third full year Roberts said. “I was a here and I played four rookie looking to him in games as a 16 year old practice, and seeing him too. I definitely dreamed giving it his all rubbed off about being the captain on me.” Thompson’s off-ice and the dream has come demeanor also stuck with true.” Roberts has seen three Roberts. “Just being a nice guy, captains (Ty Miller, David Thompson and Austin and Thompson was a super nice guy to all of Plevy) do their thing. “I’m a lead-by-example us,” Roberts noted. “He

never put anyone down. He took guys under his wing. You have to be the mediator of problems sometimes and not pick sides.” It’s easier to handle locker room issues on a winner, and far more difficult when the season’s going south. Roberts feels this year’s Chiefs will be able to handle the valleys of a long season better than some teams would. “Everyone in our locker room is always excited and happy to play,” he said. “There will be slumps, but as long as ever yone’s committed and working hard, teams can beat slumps.” Roberts comes into the season with two career goals, but he says he doesn’t care one bit about numbers so long as the team wins. “I’ve worked on the shot a bit so we’ll see what happens,” he smiled. “ut all I want is for the team to do well. If the team does well, I will get my opportunities.”

Despite the latest CJHL weekly w eekly rankings having the Chiefs in fourth place, there were w ere no chants of “We’re Number 4!” heard at Prospera Centre this week. That’s not to say the acknowledgement was not noticed and appreciated. It’s just think it’s a little too early in the season to get too carried away with these rankings. I have mixed feelings about the rankings. I like them because they get people talking about junior A hockey and that’s obviously a good thing. I’m just not so sure how accurate they are, especially this early in the season with the sample size being so small. Add that to the fact that I can’t think of one person who would w ould actually have seen all 20 teams that are ranked play this yyear, ear, and I think they need to be taken with a grain of salt. I’m not saying the Chiefs are undeserving. They are the only BCHL team that has yet to lose a game and with the BCHL being the best junior A league in Canada, they should be ranked high. But to not have the Penticton Vees ranked is absurd. The game that cost the Vees a spot in the top 20 was a 5-0 loss in Merritt. That’s also the game that put Merritt in 15th. Another interesting note about this week’s rankings is the team ranked just below the Chiefs in fifth. That would be the Woodstock Slammers, the team that Chiefs coaches Jason Tatarnic and Kyle Adams A dams spent years running with w ith a lot of success. I’d like to see someone publish a BCHL power rankings. Right now I’d put the Chiefs

at one with the Vees in two. West Kelowna would slot in at number three with Prince George and Merritt rounding out the top five. I am surprised that Chiefs forward Craig Puffer is nott the current BCHL Player off the Week. He scored both goals in an overtime win in Surrey Fridayy night and added a pair of goals in Saturday’s 6-2 home ice win against Surrey. He did receive an honorable mention. I watched a few Chiefs practices earlier this week. Justt watching made me tired. The coaching staff pushes the players hard but at the same time keep things fun, interesting and competitive. I see a lot off what is worked on in practices pay off in games. The breakout plays that have been used in games with great success are worked on a lot during practices. The Chiefs face a tough test this weekend travelling to Prince George for games Friday and Saturday night. The Spruce Kings are big and tough and play in a rink k that is very similar to the old Chilliwack Coliseum. We should see newly added forward Brandon Potomak k in the lineup this weekend. The Chiefs added the 19 yearr old Aldergrove native to theirr roster this week. He’s spentt the last two seasons with the Moose Jaw Warriors of the Western Hockey League. He’s an excellent skaterr who plays with an edge. His offensive numbers weren’tt what they were expected to be in the WHL but that could change here. His numbers were good through minor hockey and the junior B level — 20 goals and 27 assists in 34 games with the Aldergove Kodiaks during the 2011-12 season. jjb@chilliwackchiefs.net b@chilliwackchiefs.net

Chilliwack’s junior bantam Giants exacted revenge on the Mission 9ers last weekend, winning 6-0. The 9ers handed Chilliwack an 8-2 loss two weeks ago, and the stifling defence carried over to the rematch. Giants fullback Hudson Harvey scored the game’s only points midway through the third quarter, bulling over from the one yard line. Chilliwack’s offensive line was good all game, led by guards Greg Roberts, Cody Goertzen and Ethan Paisley. Jackson Kinneman and Nate McInnis were defensive leaders.

● The atom Red Giants played their hearts out, but fell 33-18 to Mission. Deaglan Perry had two first half touchdowns for the locals, who got stellar defensive work from lineman Tijanni Saad-Deen and defensive back Caleb Moore.

GENERAL LABOURER

Clark Rita, Margaret January 4th, 1937September 23rd, 2014

On Tuesday, September 23rd, we had to say goodbye to the most loving and giving mother and Omi, Rita Margaret Clark. Rita was born in Einlage, Ukraine, where she resided until she immigrated to Canada in 1948. Here she later met her husband, William Clark and they were married in 1955. Rita and Bill raised 3 children in Richmond BC. Sadly, Bill passed away in 2011. Rita is survived by her 3 children, Dr. William Clark (Cathy), Bruce Clark (Kathryn), and Blair Clark (Sharie); 8 grandchildren, Andrew (Haley), Graham (Kyla), Ashley, Taylor, William, Mitchell, Brad and Brooklynn as well as 4 great-grandchildren (Ava, Paxton, Liam and Harper). She is also survived by one brother, George Bunse and numerous nieces and nephews. After their boys were grown, Rita and Bill moved to the Sunshine Coast where they spent many happy years before finally moving to Chilliwack in 2006 to be closer to their family. Rita had a contagious passion for working in her garden and gave back to those around her with her beautiful flowers, baked goodies and delicious jars of jam. She will be tremendously missed by her family and friends who’s lives she continuously blessed. There will be a private service with her children and grandchildren at a future date. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Chilliwack Hospice Society or charity of your choice. For online condolences to the family please visit www.hendersonsfunerals.com Henderson’s Funeral Homes & Crematorium (604) 792-1344

GILES Mary (nee Sluchinski) Born September 6, 1924 in Dana, Saskatchewan. Mother passed away on September 23, 2014, peacefully in her own home, just as she always said she would do. She is survived by daughter Linda (Ron) Schilling of Chilliwack, son Douglas of Toronto, brother Jim (Pat) of Bluffton, AB and many nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Alvin in 1982. Mother was one of 13 children and was resourceful and hardworking from an early age. She was making cabbage rolls and banana bread right up until the end, and loved to gift people with her baking. Mother was proud to have reached the age of 90 earlier this month and celebrated with her family by riding the Airtram at Hell’s Gate and walking across the suspension bridge! She was unbeatable at Scrabble, loved the Toronto Blue Jays, read her Bible daily ---- and the astrology column as well. Many thanks to Dr. Whittington and staff and to the friends who helped her maintain her independence. Family memorial will be held at a later date.

Hutt Vernon Vernon Albert Hutt, 91, of Chilliwack BC, passed away peacefully with his family at his side on Thursday, September 25th, 2014. He was born August 29, 1923 in Oakville, Ontario and eventually settled in Chilliwack, BC. Vern was predeceased by his loving wife Mildred Rita Hutt. He is survived by his four children John, Linda (Bill), Jim and Debra, thirteen grandchildren, nineteen great grandchildren and one great great grandchild. Vern had a passion for collecting classic cars, loved fishing on the Vedder River and enjoyed spending time with his family. He was a kind and loving man whose smile will be greatly missed by his family and friends. A Graveside Service will be held at Chilliwack Cemeteries Tuesday, October 7th at 1:00 PM.

Raverat Alfred Alfred Raverat passed away on September 30, 2014 at Chilliwack BC at the age of 86 years. He was born in Puttin, the Netherlands.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, October 3, 2014 at 1:00 pm from St. Mary’s Catholic Church, 8909 Mary Street, Chilliwack, BC with burial to follow in St. Mary’s Cemetery.

Mom and Dad were proud to become Canadian citizens in 1957. British Columbia eventually became their home when they moved to Harrison Hot Springs in 1974. Marie married Dirk Zandberg in 1982 and together they resided in Abbotsford and Chilliwack. Mom was a playful, adventurous lady who loved to laugh and travel. A heartfelt thank you goes to the staff at Heritage Village residential care home who lovingly cared for Mom in the frailty of her last days.
