Forum focused on domestic violence

■ F ALL P ADDLE

Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A shocking number of Chilliwack families try to deal with the impact of domestic violence every year.

Many are not aware of the full range of specialized services out there to assist with this particular kind of relationship and intimate partner abuse.

A Community Forum on Domestic Violence is set to remedy that.

The forum starts at 7 p.m. on Oct. 30 at Chilliwack City Hall, and is part of the annual Purple Light Nights awareness campaign held every October.

“Through education and awareness we can diminish the negative effects of domestic violence in our communities, and ensure the community is aware of resources available to help,” said RCMP Cpl. Harinder Kheleh, one of the event organizers.

“We are excited to have Angus attend our forum this year to talk about breaking the silence and being more than a bystander.”

BC Lions’ alumni Angus Reid will be there to talk about the ‘Be More than A Bystander’ campaign, which seeks to understand the full impact of men’s violence against women. The program by Ending Violence Association BC and BC Lions breaks the silence around violence by providing tools, and practical ideas on how to communicate that violence and abuse is not acceptable.

RCMP, as well as other partners, community charities and social service providers with Purple Light Nights committee will be addressing the crowd.

The forum will be held at Chilliwack City Hall, 8550 Young Road, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., doors opening at 6:30 p.m.

The election race is on in Chilliwack Four challengers for mayor, 17 for city council and 14 for school board as nominations close Four people are vying for the mayor’s chair in Chilliwack and 17 are running for the six seats on council, following the close of nominations Friday in the 2014 municipal election.

Fourteen people are letting their names stand for the seven seats available on the Chilliwack school board.

And in Cultus Lake, five people are seeking the two seats available to Chilliwack voters.

Incumbent Chilliwack mayor Sharon Gaetz faces three challengers: Raymond Cauchi, Cameron

Hull and Jason Kramer. In the last municipal election, Gaetz won by acclimation.

Only one incumbent won’t be seeking re-election for city council: Ken Huttema. All the rest – Sue Attrill, Jason Lum, Stewart McLean, Ken Popove and Chuck Stam – are seeking re-election.

They’ll be joined on the ballot by some familiar and some new names.

Seeking election on council this time around are Phill Bruce, Brigida Crosbie, Brenda Currie, Gerry Goosen, Kim Harder, Dick

Harrington, Michael Kha, Chris Kloot, Patti MacAhonic, Phillip Maxwell, Sam Waddington and Richard Williams.

On school board, all but Doug McKay is seeking another term.

Dan Coulter, Silvia Dyck, Walt Krahn, Heather Maahs, Barry Neufeld and Martha Wiens have all declared their candidacy.

They’ll be challenged by Ben Besler, Karen Conway, John-Henr y Harter, Karen Jarvis, Paul McManus, Marion Mussell, Harold Schmidt and Rob Stelmaschuk.

The five people vying for commissioner seats on the Cultus Lake Park Board are Scott Allinott, Darcy Bauer, David

Renwick, Malcolm Shanks and Carlton Toews.

The list of nominees is still unofficial. The chief elections officer will be working to confirm the list in the coming days.

The brand-new Electoral Area H director position for FVRD has attracted three candidates including: Taryn Dixon, Maxwell Newhouse, and Rolf Soth.

For Electoral Area E, it’s Orion Engar facing off against Leanne Herrick.

Are our schools failing aboriginal students?

Katie Bartel The Progress It is not with fondness that Garry Ewen looks back on his education in the public system.

It was 13 years of underlying racism, classroom struggles, and feeling culturally muted every time he walked through his school’s doors, says the Sto:lo native. “[Classmates] would say things about natives and drinking, or natives acting like gangsters, or aboriginal people being dirty or homeless, which was completely not the case for most of us,” says Ewen, now 33.

“You have to have tough skin in order to be an aboriginal in school, because often you’re the only one in the class.”

By the time he’d finished Grade 12 in 2001, still requiring two courses for graduation, he’d had enough.

Ewen quit, becoming yet another of Chilliwack’s unsuccessful aboriginal graduation numbers.

His story is not an anomaly.

Statistically, B.C.’s public education system has failed aboriginal students for decades.

While both Chilliwack and the province have seen improvements with aboriginal graduation rates over the last few years, there is still a significant gap separating First Nations youth from the rest of the student population.

It’s a chasm that Tyrone McNeil, president of the First Nations Education Steering Committee, says will remain if schools don’t make curriculum more culturally relevant for aboriginal students.

“In too many ways, the public education system is irrelevant to First

“Most people had negative opinions about my people and I was already facing my own issues at home,” says Elia Julian, who graduated from Chilliwack secondary in 2011. “I didn’t need that at school.”

JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Nations students. They don’t see themselves in that regard. They’re detached from the curriculum.”

And that, he maintains, leads to continued failure.

In the 2012-13 school year, 59.4 per cent of aboriginal students in B.C. graduated within six years of starting Grade 8, according to a ministry of education’s annual report.

Comparatively, 83.6 per cent of all students completed in the same time frame.

In Chilliwack, 56.7 per cent of aboriginal students graduated, compared to 78 per cent for all students.

That’s an improvement from 45.4 per cent in 2009-10.

“There has been a significant amount of change in terms of outcomes for First Nations education in the public system. We acknowledge that, but it’s not nearly enough,” says McNeil. “It’s too slow.”

Ten native bands are represented in Chilliwack. From those, 1,885

First Nations students attended Chilliwack schools last year, amounting to approximately 16 per cent of the total school population.

The school district has tried for years to make inroads into becoming more inclusive for its aboriginal students.

It formed an aboriginal advisory committee in 1994 which is still running, and includes both educators and representatives from the local First Nations communities.

In 1998, it started teaching Halq’eméylem to kindergarten classes to help revive the region’s fledgling native language. It was the first school district in B.C. to do so.

When the ministry of education approved aboriginal-centric courses in 2008, including B.C. First Nations Studies and English First Peoples, the school district committed to offering them.

In 2010, Chilliwack school district entered into a four-year Aboriginal Education Enhancement Agreement, the first of its kind that’s become a template for other school districts to follow.

In an emailed statement to The Progress, assistant superintendent Rohan Arul-Pragasam didn’t speak specifically to the aboriginal issue, but said the “collective goal is to focus on all students and to ensure that we have appropriate, timely, coordinated continuum of interventions to support all students, especially those vulnerable students that have the potential to drop out from school.”

Not enough, says McNeil.

Aboriginal students are still encumbered by racism and negative predispositions in public schools.

“Too many teachers, too many school staff, expect our kids not to do well – that’s an expectation,” says McNeil.

“The systemic racism and bias that’s prevalent in Canada, it’s still thriving. There’s all kinds of efforts battling it, but the undertows of it is still just as strong now as it was 10, 15, 20 years ago. And that plays out in classrooms every day.”

Aboriginal kids are struggling, says McNeil. Teachers don’t know Continued: SCHOOL/ p5

Building relevancy into the classroom Katie Bartel The Progress Changing the curriculum isn’t enough. The public school mindset needs to change.

That’s the sentiment of Chilliwack’s aboriginal communities with regards to the provincial public education system.

Because aboriginal culture is more about hands-on learning, many native youth don’t acclimate well to sitting in a desk, reading from textbooks and listening to lectures for hours. They need physical interaction.

“Having an instructor that

explores different avenues for education, visually, audibly, hands-on, really exercises your brain in a way that you can better grasp the concept,” says former Chilliwack secondary student Garry Ewen, who dropped out of the public system just shy of graduating.

Ewen struggled with understanding math all through school. He fell behind in the primary grades and never caught up. It wasn’t until he went to Seabird Island College, several years after quitting high school, that he found math success.

“Everybody has different learning styles and some schools don’t cater to that,” says Ewen. “At

Seabird College, the teachers do textbook work, but they also use visuals and hands-on. I got to grasp some of the concepts in a different learning method.”

When the B.C. Ministry of Education approved the English First Peoples curriculum in 2008, after more than 10 years of working on it, there was celebration among the Chilliwack aboriginal communities.

English First Peoples is the equivalent to English language arts but with a Sto:lo focus.

Finally, there was a language Continued: SUPPORT/ p4

McNeil, president of the First Nations Education Steering Committee, says several students he’s talked to weren’t aware the course exists.

“Too many of them haven’t been asked if they’re interested in taking it. They haven’t been given the opportunity.”

It boils down to knowledge and support.

“That’s all our kids need – a little bit of encouragement, a teacher that expects them to do better, expects them to do well, to pass, to come in every day,” says McNeil.

“But that lesson isn’t passed on to our kids often enough.”

As of 2012, all B.C. trained teachers are required to take a minimum of three credits or the equivalent in First Nations pedagogy and issues related to the historical and current context of First Nations, Inuit and Metis learners.

how to relate to them or communicate with them. “I don’t know if they’ve given up over time, or if they were never interested from the start.�

Elia Julian didn’t want to find out.

The 21-year-old Skwah native spent years denying her First Nations existence in Chilliwack schools.

She couldn’t control her ethnicity or her skin colour, or the negative thoughts people associated with her people, but she could control how much they knew about her.

Instead of embracing her native roots, Julian told people she was Hawaiian. “Most people had negative opinions about my people and I was already facing my own issues at home,� she says. “I didn’t need that at school.�

The oldest of six, Julian didn’t grow up with her parents. She was shuffled through six different homes – many unstable. Concentrating on school was not easy. “Most aboriginal students do face different struggles – more so than simple adolescence,� she says. “Sometimes the struggles that First Nations students face are things that are out of our control.�

Even though Julian had access to aboriginal support workers and an aboriginal room at Chilliwack secondary, she still felt misunderstood and pre-judged by ssome of her teachers and principals.

When a “Knowing that we’re not expected student doesn’t to succeed is frustrating and really hard graduate, it’s swallow,� says not about their to Julian, who graduated failure; it’s about on time in 2011. “It makes it really hard our failure, to want to push to do great.� our inability The cost of continuing to fail First to provide children and education that’s Nations youth educationally is exponential. relevant A 2010 report, in ~ Diane Janzen Investing Aboriginal Education: An Economic Perspective, conducted by the Centre for the Study of Canadian Living Standards, estimates that $39 billion in costs will be incurred on the Canadian economy by 2026 if education is not improved for First Nations. On the flip side, if the educational gap is closed, the economy could be boosted by $115 billion over the 20-year period from 2006 to 2026. “If the status quo continues, the whole scenario of dependency that’s been put on us continues,� says McNeil. “Do they want to sustain First Nations dependency on Canada, or do they want to assist us to be thriving and a positive reflection of Canada?�

Despite the system, some aboriginal youth and adults are achieving success elsewhere.

Last June, 13 years after he should have graduated from the public system, Ewen finally obtained his graduation credentials – thanks to Seabird Island College.

The on-reserve college offers a dual-track education program that enables students to achieve their Dogwood completion while working towards an employable trade or other such profession. Since opening in 2010, enrolment has continued to flourish. Last year, approximately 115 mature students obtained their Dogwood through Seabird Island College. “Education is life-changing and it’s generationally life-changing,� says Diane Janzen, education manager at Seabird Island Band and former Chilliwack school trustee. “When a student doesn’t graduate, it’s not about their failure; it’s about our failure, our inability to provide education that’s relevant.�

When Ewen finally received his official ministry of education transcripts in the mail for his Dogwood completion, the normally chatty man was rendered speechless.

Even though he’d taken college courses over the years, it was his Dogwood that gave him an ultimate sense of achievement. “I was just like, ‘Oh! Wow!’�

I highly recommend Shayne and all the staff at Laminate Warehouse. The price point, quality & their knowledge of the product is second to none. Being a bit of a DIY guy, I've installed a few different types of laminate flooring over the years and their QUICK LOCK system is so easy to install even my 6 year old was helping out! I've referred Laminate Warehouse to family members & clients and have only heard positive feedback.

My Mom just had some carpet replaced and she was extremely happy with the service and quality...we would strongly recommend LAMINATE WAREHOUSE to anyone considering new flooring!...........

TransLink’s diesel bus fuel costs may also drop with lower crude oil prices.

Spokesperson Cheryl Ziola said it’s also possible lower gas prices will encourage more driving and result in TransLink collecting more fuel tax from the 17 cents a litre it levies, at least over the short term.

But cheaper gas can also cut into transit

Crude oil makes up only about half of the cost of a litre of gas, but he said the sharp decline, plus the typical seasonal drop in gas prices as summer driving season ends, should translate into more savings for drivers. “If you’ve got a sustained downward movement in crude prices –

The deep dive in crude oil prices in recent weeks has so far been slow to trickle down into lower gasoline prices.

But one petroleum industry expert predicts more relief from pain at the pumps is coming soon for Lower Mainland motorists. “You guys are on the verge of a pretty sizable drop in the retail price there,� said Jason Parent, the Ontariobased vice-president of consulting for MJ Ervin and Associates.

He said the current average price of $1.30 per litre of regular gas in Metro Vancouver as of Friday – down from a midsummer plateau of around $1.42 – should continue to drop to $1.25 or lower.

In Chilliwack, price dropped to $1.14 over the weekend.

Crude oil prices have fallen about 15 per cent from their July levels but the drop for retail

Big-box stores excluded from liquor sales

Straight from the seahorse’s mouth:

Bundle and save $100 on any new smartphone.

Tom Fletcher Black Press Large grocery stores are the only retailers eligible to add a separate liquor store under new B.C. government regulations set to take effect in the spring of 2015.

To qualify for a space to sell alcoholic beverages, stores must have at least 929 square metres (10,000 square feet) of floor space and groceries as 75 per cent of their sales, Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced Friday.

The restrictions are designed to exclude general merchandise and “big box” stores as well as convenience stores, according to a ministry statement. Eligible stores will be permitted to create a “store within a store” with separate cash registers and staff, or “co-brand” with liquor stores outside their existing facilities.

The government plans to maintain its cap on the number of liquor stores, with 670 private stores now in operation. Liquor stores are currently restricted to relocating no more than five km from their original location, but that restriction is being lifted so a licence can be sold or moved anywhere in the province.

That would allow existing government or private liquor stores to relocate in partnership with grocery stores, while maintaining the regulation that no two liquor outlets can be closer together than one km.

p e tof the month Congratulations to Marley Stone!

Marley has been a dedicated patient of ours for years. And she is always a fantastic dog….but is quite the wiggle worm! Recently she required an eye exam by Specialist Dr. Ford; which included many various eye tests. At the beginning of the exam, we were expecting Marley to be the usual wiggle worm that we all know and love…

However; she was anything but! She remained perfectly still and calm during the eye exam, and allowed Dr. Ford to perform the required tests.

Way to go Marley! Marley will be awarded with a 6 month supply of Advantage Multi to go home!

The Staff of Menzies Pet Hospital would like extend a warm welcome to Dr Partini as our second full time Doctor! Call today to schedule your next appointment with Dr Partini and help us in congratulating and welcoming him!

Marley Stone It is Menzies Pet Hospital's 10th Anniversary So for the month of October-November 30th we are celebrating by offering a complimentary tattoo for every spay/ neuter appointment.

Cities want safeguards but can’t keep pot out of ALR

The province’s decision to allow heavily fortified medical marijuana production factories to be built on top of good agricultural farmland isn’t sitting well with municipal politicians.

Several Lower Mainland cities wanted the new commercial pot producers that are being licensed by the federal government to be relegated to industrial land, arguing the high-security buildings would be a better fit there.

Instead, the provincial government decided over the summer they will be allowed to be built on farmland, including in the Agricultural Land Reserve.

The main concession from the province is that they’ll be taxed at the industrial property tax rate not at the lower agricultural rate.

Langley Township Mayor Jack Froese said one concern now is that cities will end up paying more for police to monitor sleepy agricultural roads for criminals that may be attracted to the new pot ventures.

“We really need to ensure the safety of our residents,” he said, adding there are also implications for the environment, infrastructure and roads.

The province has tabled proposed guidelines for local municipalities to regulate the new marijuana producers and has asked for comment on them.

Froese said cities are now seeking the strongest possible protections.

“We want to deal with things like setbacks, hedging and air quality,” he said.

Richmond Coun.

Harold Steves insists it’s senseless to waste “the best farmland in Canada” on highly fortified bunkers that could have been placed in industrial zones.

“This is not soilbased agriculture,” he

Credit for fit families

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

The federal Conservatives deserve credit for recognizing that childhood fitness is an issue and that sports activities are expensive.

But let’s face it, the doubling of the tax credit for kids under 16 from $500 to $1,000 is just a drop in the bucket when it comes to getting kids active and fit.

Now, parents can get back up to 15 per cent of their children’s registration or membership fees at tax time but it’s really just a gesture and an acknowledgement that the original $500 tax credit was far too low, especially if you have more than one child in more than one sport.

What sweetens the pot slightly is that the maximum credit actually works as a refund of $150, meaning that families whose incomes are too low to benefit will get some help, although they have to spend a lot to benefit a little.

Cynics will argue that the Tories are just buying votes — with voters’ own money — in advance of a federal election a year from now.

But people’s memories aren’t that long and the refund or tax credit isn’t worth that much.

What would make a difference would be a national fitness strategy to encourage families to make health and fitness a priority. Currently, this is left up to the cities to do, with some encouragement from provincial or regional health authorities, and other non-profit agencies.

What’s missing is a culture of active living because everybody is so strapped for time, people drive everywhere and sitting in front of a screen all day is seen as the most-productive way of getting things done.

Could a pan-national strategy address more issues over a long time-frame? Absolutely, and it’s not just kids who could benefit from incentives to employers and agencies to get everyone moving and being healthy.

Canada needs more direct action to raise Canadians’ fitness IQ, and the federal government should be a leader in this. ~ Black Press

Time for the truth in B.C. treaty talks VICTORIA – Three years ago, long-time chief and band administrator Sophie Pierre sought an extension of her term leading the B.C. Treaty Commission and gave a warning. The federal and provincial government should start taking this long and costly effort seriously or “shut ’er down.”

Last week Pierre wound up her sixth and final year as chief commissioner on a slightly more hopeful note. This year, the Tla’amin Nation in the Powell River area and the Yale First Nation in the Fraser Canyon had their treaties proclaimed by Ottawa.

They join the Maa-nulth First Nations on Vancouver Island and the Tsawwassen First Nation in leaving behind the Indian Act and the courts to get on with self-government. Tsawwassen in particular has moved ahead aggressively.

Its shopping centre development near the ferry terminal is one of the largest commercial projects

in the province right now.

All of these treaties were negotiated despite multiple overlapping territorial claims around them, and similar progress has been made with the Tsimshian First Nations on the North Coast and elsewhere.

The need for aboriginal people to work out their Tom FLETCHER overlapping claim issues between themselves was the focus of the commission’s 22nd annual report. In it, former chief commissioners Miles Richardson of the Haida Nation and Steven Point of the Sto:lo Nation added their influential voices, urging aboriginal communities to consider them shared territories, rather than clinging to ancient tribal rivalries.

Another hopeful sign is that after seven years of commissions and studies, the federal government has finally given its negotiators a mandate to negotiate fisheries. This is the main reason why the Tla’amin waited five long years for Ottawa’s blessing after their treaty had been hammered out.

This year’s landmark decision of the Supreme Court of Canada, recognizing Tsilhqot’in Nation title in the remote Nemiah Valley, has also got the attention of Victoria and Ottawa. Pierre noted the “flurry of activity” by Premier Christy Clark in seeking reconciliation, which will culminate this month with a formal apology for the hanging of Tsilhqot’in chiefs 150 years ago.

Pierre said this court ruling “should destroy any lingering thoughts that this issue is not of the utmost importance, and provide the necessary investment,

Progress

both financial and time commitment, to reach satisfactory conclusions.”

That’s the good news for B.C.’s thorniest historical problem, the lack of treaties across most of the province.

It’s also becoming clearer that the Tsilhqot’in ruling is unique.

It’s unlikely to be repeated by most other First Nations, even if they are willing and able to spend the years and millions to enrich lawyers in pursuit of it.

Here’s the bad news. As of this year, the B.C. Treaty Commission has paid out $627 million to First Nations to support treaty negotiations. Most of that is in the form of loans, which are to be repaid out of the cash settlements that Ottawa contributes to settle modern treaties.

Pierre acknowledges that some communities are close to completing treaties, but their debt has climbed to near what Ottawa

is offering. This would leave them free but broke.

Others are just “spinning their wheels” with no real hope of achieving a treaty, Pierre said.

The commission is calling for an “exit strategy” for these communities, starting with loan forgiveness that would allow them to pursue economic activity.

There are First Nations, Westbank and Osoyoos prominent among them, which are thriving without treaties. Haida and Klahoose have developed successful forest products businesses as they move toward selfgovernment.

Federal and provincial governments must recognize the successes, and the failures.

time to think about your Flu shots!

Working together for a better future not be defined by the challenges.

It should be defined by our willingness and ability to work together to overcome them. Success is a team effort and it is now time for us to once again work together as a team.

The second pivotal moment will occur on November 15, the date of local trustee and municipal elections in British Columbia. On this day you will have an opportunity to elect the women and men who will lead and oversee public education in your community.

School trustees working in their communities with education partners and parents provide focus and direction to help realize the educational aspirations of students throughout the province. Public education is everyone’s business.

It is the engine that will determine

the success of our province. Our future employees, leaders, parents and citizens will come from today’s classrooms. November 15 is your opportunity to select the individuals in your community who will advocate for that future, and who will determine the directions to guide this critical public investment.

Public education is always exciting and challenging in British Columbia. When I see students in our classrooms supported by dedicated teachers, administrators support staff, and trustees, I see the future.

Working together with a clear focus on what is best for student ensures that the future will be bright.

We are currently facing two pivotal moments in public education in British Columbia.

Firstly, we have just ended a lengthy strike that will bring five years of labour stability and an opportunity to rebuild relationships and strengthen our education system. Over the past several months there has been a focus on what was wrong with the system rather than what is right. Now is the time to shift that focus back to what we all have in common – success for students. British Columbia has one of the best education systems in the world because of fabulous teachers, administrators and support staff. Yes, there are still challenges to overcome.

There will always be a need for increased funding and staffing.

But our education system should

Proactive effort needed to protect pond fish While walking around Sardis Park on the morning of Thursday, Oct 9th, I was very upset at the large numbers of fish in the shallows, slowly suffocating. The water was teeming with hundreds and hundreds of fish, all gasping for air, some with their heads stuck out of the water trying to stay alive. It was a very distressing sight. Large numbers of fish seemed to be congregating by the only source of fresh water that comes into the pond, but that trickle of water bringing in fresh water and new oxygen into that stagnant pond was not enough to save them. As I walked around the pond I saw one of the regular Great Blue Herons that hunt at the pond, and I was thinking that she sure choose the wrong fishing spot this morning, as all the fish in the entire pond were at the other end.

My first thought was that they

were poisoned by something getting into the water. I tried to call the City of Chilliwack but it was too early, so all I could do was leave an email with the Parks department. I did get a response to my email by way of a press release. It advised the reason for the fish kill was no oxygen in the water due to low water levels.

I certainly had noticed that the water levels are the lowest that I have seen in the past 20 years, and I know I’m not the only person to have noticed how dirty the water has been looking in the pond the last year or two. I used to see the oxygen bubblers going on a regular basis in the pond, which seemed to keep the pond much cleaner, but have not seen them on in few years, plus the fresh water that comes into the pond is just a trickle.

I appreciate nature and really enjoy all the wildlife that this little

park brings to our neighborhood.

I certainly don’t like animals suffering for nothing. It’s not just the waste of all these fish, its also all the other animals that depend on them for food. I thought our parks were being managed and cared for, so we share these areas with the local wildlife, but it seems this one is not. With all the headlines in the papers these days regarding the environment and the populations of animals in the world that have declined in half in the past 40 years, I think we should be more proactive in protecting fish, wildlife and the environment.

I walked around the park tonight, amazing... all I saw was one small dead fish. If you were not at the park this morning, you would have no idea that anything even happened there. Our City certainly did a very speedy clean up of all the dead fish...

No government protects environment Re: Oil protest a slippery slope for cities (B.C. Views, Oct. 7).

Tom Fletcher’s analysis of jurisdiction regarding pipeline expansion and oil distribution in B.C. ignores one important fact. I have one postal address and one primary residence, one planet on

which to live.

I also am governed by three political jurisdictions that are supposed to manage “the common good” on behalf of all.

None do so. I pay taxes and idealize that some official somewhere will handle environmental issues in sustainable

ways. Not so.

Such leaders are situated within non-government organizations – who also want money. No wonder I am an alienated citizen, disgusted with public sector overexpenditures and irresponsibilities regarding basic survival.

I do vote! And I am delighted that some new faces and names are appearing on ballot lists.

My hope is that other voters will listen to these unknown candidates.

Somewhere among them are future leaders who will help guide us to a more viable Canada.

Pumpkins are often a child’s first introduction to horticulture, and from their early history in the Americas to their future in space gardening research, they deserve a little more credit than just being a Jack O’Lantern.

For home décor, especially for Thanksgiving displays, it’s hard to beat pumpkins combined with corn stalks and hay bales.

All pumpkins are indigenous to America and were grown along with corn by native Americans, making them one of the first companion crops.

Members of the ‘cucurbitaceae’ family, their close relatives are watermelon, gourds, squash and cantaloupe.

Recently a flurry of new pumpkin varieties has being developed. A bush-type variety, called ‘Spirit’, which has vines that only spread about three feet, delights pumpkin growers with limited space. It is prolific, much like a zucchini, and harvesting a dozen or more ten to fifteen pound fruits is not uncommon. For more adventurous growers, there are various strains of the ‘Atlantic Giant’ available. They are bred for size. The winning entries in the World Pumpkin Confederation Weigh Off now exceed 1200 pounds! You would need a chainsaw to carve these monsters and a shovel and wheelbarrow to clean them out. They also look ugly. A much nicer giant is ‘Prizewinner’ which averages 90 to 100 pounds and actually looks

like a pumpkin.

On the sweeter side, smaller is better. ‘Sugar’ or ‘pie pumpkins’ are the traditional varieties for pies. Grown from seed stock imported from China, Stokes Seeds Canada has introduced a series of small varieties like ‘Sweetie Pie’. Considered a delicacy in China, these miniature pumpkins fit nicely in the palm of your hand.

They average only five ounces in weight, measure about three inches across and about one inch deep - real Brian giants! They are MINTER very attractive because of their deep ribbing and can be dried like gourds for neat table decorations. A white and orange striped variety, called ‘Pumkemon’, and a white one, called ‘Baby Boo’, cook up nicely too.

White pumpkins are all the rage, and varieties like ‘Lumina’ and the larger ‘New Moon’ and ‘Full Moon’ are all over websites like Pinterest as the latest and greatest. Flat ribbed varieties, like ‘Cinderella’, are hot too and very unique.

‘Little Lantern’, ‘School Time’ and ‘Orange Smoothie’ will be of interest to young pumpkin growers. They measure only five to seven inches across, but they really produce lots of little,

five to eight pound fruits in eight weeks. They make great pies too. The tiniest is ‘PeeWee’ which is about the size of a softball and makes great table décor.

Pumpkin seeds, which are very high in vitamins, are a delicacy in the Middle East. With the development of two new varieties, ‘Tricky Jack’ and ‘Lady Godiva’, there are now hull-less seeds, which can be eaten like peanuts when lightly roasted.

From Japan comes a new edible seed variety called ‘Kakai’. It’s awesome, and its fresh seeds are sweet and nut-like.

We all know about those scrumptious pumpkin pies.

Another delicious pumpkin dish is made by baking or steaming pumpkin meat, then seasoning it with butter, salt, pepper and molasses. Pumpkin bread and pumpkin cookies stuffed with raisins are popular favourites.

In the Caribbean Islands, one of the staple foods is pumpkin soup.

The Land Pavilion in Epcot Centre at Disneyworld, Florida, is experimenting with pumpkins as a food source for space expeditions. Trained upward along ropes, the vines grow about thirty feet high and are loaded with perfect ten to fifteen pound pumpkins. It is nice to think that the Jack O’Lantern we carve on Halloween to keep the evil spirits away has a great history and an even brighter future.

Let’s hear it for pumpkins!

Dylan Coulter and Calvin Baker in the Canadian premiere of Birdsong at UFV Theatre

Storytelling from the trenches at UFV Birdsong promises to be a powerful and poignant play.

That’s how the new production opening this week at UFV Theatre set in the First World War is being described.

The month of October marks the 100th anniversary of trench warfare and UFV Theatre is honoured to present the Canadian premiere of a new adaptation of Birdsong, Oct. 15 to 26.

It records the tragedy, the remarkable history and surprising humour of the Great War through songs, music, movement and theatrical performance.

“I can’t tell you how excited we are to be presenting the Canadian premiere of this wonderful adaptation,” said director Raina von Waldenburg, who teaches at UFV. “This is an outside-of-the-box piece of theatre, and I’m convinced that our unconventional approach will make the story fresh, alive and powerful for audiences.”

It’s based on Sebastian Faulks’ best-selling novel, and written by

Ashley Rivas and Calvin Baker in Birdsong at UFV Theatre.

playwright Rachel Wagstaff.

As the guns of war echo, the audience joins Stephen Wraysford and his fellow soldiers, huddled in trenches and holes, trying to find ways to shake off the monotony of war and remember family.

Injured at the Somme, Wraysford flits between past and present as he struggles to recall those final romantic days before the war

when he fell in love with a beautiful, but already-married young woman named Isabelle. In their heart-rending story set against the crumbling of their whole world and in the strong bonds of friendship between the young soldiers, we get a sense of all the real-life heartbreak that forever marked the world.

“We have multiple actors play-

ing the same character, every actor playing multiple roles, unorthodox staging and a whole lot of surprises in store,” said von Waldenburg, who is one of North America’s foremost proponents of the Grotowski Method, a decidedly physical approach to theatre.

“But believe me, people shouldn’t have any difficulty following the action: these young actors are brilliant at finding ways to be expressive and clear. This is storytelling at its finest.”

Birdsong runs Oct. 15 to 26 with evening performances at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m., and a school matinee on Oct. 21 at 12 noon. The opening night performance features food, drinks and socializing on October 17 at 7:30 p.m.

West coast roots artist WiL is on his way to Chilliwack Oct. 17 in support of his new album El Paseo.

The name means ‘the ride’ in Spanish, and that’s how it feels.

It’s a return to Bozzini’s in Chilliwack for WiL and he’ll be doing two shows that night.

He was born Wil Mimnaugh, and goes by the stage name Wil. His fifth studio album actually came into being with the help of loyal fans and some crowd-funding through FanPush.

It was his wife Caroline’s bright idea.

“When it played out the way that it did, it was unbelievable,” he tells The Progress from his home on Vancouver Island.

He was a little surprised, and initially thought the effort would maybe raise $50, but in the end, it was more than enough to put out the $10,000 album.

“When you get that kind of support, it can’t help but feel good.”

It allowed him to put out 11 polished and personal songs this year with El Paseo.

WiL will be joined at Bozzini’s by drummer Keith Gallant and Lena Birtwistle with backup vocals.

He’s played guitar since he was 13 and is known for popping strings with his passionate performance.

But he promises the show runs the gamut, and that they can also master the power of quiet.

“Like church mice wearing marshmellows for slipppers,” he says.

WiL says he’ll probably sing the catchy and light-hearted tune, Make Make, which has been climbing the CBC Radio 2 Top 20 charts.

“It was one of the more fun, goofy little tunes I wrote,” he said.

It came to him, and broke a period of writer’s block, when he was tenderly nursing his wife back to health after a bout with the flu.

“I made her soup and toast for two weeks and while she was blowing her nose, shivering and

Feed your craving at Little Trattoria Take Out The taste and tradition of a familiar favorite has returned to Chilliwack’s downtown.

Little Trattoria Take Out opened its doors just a couple of months ago, but it’s already creating a buzz. It’s a new eatery, but its inspiration – and even some of its talent – comes from an earlier Italian favorite that closed a few years back.

Nelson and Ali MacMorran have always loved to cook.

They appreciate the kind of dishes that step beyond the ordinary – the kind that are honest, authentic and deeply satisfying.

So when they discovered Chef Josh Long was available, they knew they had a winning combination.

Long once worked at the earlier restaurant. He brings the passion, talent and artistry to Little Trattoria that so many customers have missed for too long, Nelson says.

There’s nothing delicate about the dishes Long prepares.

Call it “rustic Italian,” says Nelson with a laugh. The flavours are bold and the portions plentiful.

And the ingredients are either made in-house, or sourced as locally as possible.

The result is a menu bursting with choices and nearaddictive flavours.

The grilled panini are made with homemade calabrese bread or focaccia. There are a dozen combinations to choose from, like the one with prosciutto, bruschetta, fresh basil pesto and mascarpone cheese.

The sandwiches are topped with Little Trattoria’s creamy garlic sauce and are large enough to share.

Looking for something a little more hardy? The panzarotti and calzones are filled with the rich goodness customers can’t soon forget, says Nelson. And they’re large enough for three.

The pasta and gnocchi dishes, meanwhile, have generated such a stir that customers are coming back again and again. They’re perfect for a cool, fall evening.

Even the pizza is beyond the ordinary. (In fact, they call

Chef Josh Long is the man behind the menu at Little Trattoria. Owners Ali (left) and Nelson MacMorran, along with help from daughters 11-year-old Jaime, and 14-year-old Mackenzie, have brought calzones, panzerottis, and other Italian dishes to Chilliwack. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS it “Not your ordinary pizza” on their menu.) All stonebaked on a homemade crust, they offer such interesting combinations as grilled chicken, pepperoni, prosciutto, red pepper, and bruschetta with a creamy parmesan sauce.

Of course, there are other choices as well, including soups and an artful array of salads.

But don’t forget to leave room for dessert, says Nelson.

The cannolis are homemade, crisp and rich, and positively addictive.

“Sometimes it’s the strangest of occurrences that inspires us.”

It’s about recording the extraordinary aspects of the mundane.

“Sometimes you write songs about the stuff that is right in front of you,” he said.

“When someone asks you a question, you just give them the answer.

It’s writing without reservations or filters.”

The support from fans really helped during the writing process.

“These songs just came pouring out of me; they are some of the best I feel I have ever written to date and I’m so grateful that I am now able to record these songs and put the best of what we got on the new record,” says WiL. “Was it a labour of love? Yes, absolutely, and I’m proud of the outcome. Like my career there’s no certainty; of fame, of money, of anything really – I’m just in it for the ride (with my gal, of course). It’s bloody scary and thrilling, dark and bright, wondrous and wicked.

It’s a roller coaster ride.”

A BREATHTAKING MORNING OF MUSIC. W

ith the start of the Cultural Centre’s new season it’s time to welcome back the dazzling Vancouver pianist Sarah Hagen for another fantastic series of Classical Music. Sarah brought four guests from a range of classical disciplines into the Cultural Centre last season to perform a series of sensational duets, repeatedly producing inspirational and uplifting mornings of classical music to fantastic reception by our audiences. We are thrilled to have Sarah in Chilliwack once again, when she will open the series by featuring the critically acclaimed Polish flautist Krzysztof Kaczka for a morning of spectacular classical music beginning at 10:30am on October 24, 2014!

throughout Europe, including in France, Austria and Germany, Krzysztof has built a reputation as a worldclass flautist after repeated success at international competitions leading him to debut at Carnegie Hall as well as to play in Austria and Italy. Krzysztof ’s amazing skills also secured him the position as the Principle Flautist of the Shenzhen Symphony Orchestra in China, and led him to an invitation to join the Banff Centre for the Arts as an Artist in Residence. In addition to his unbelievable musical credentials, Sarah is quick to add that “Krzysztof is an incredible flautist and has a magical connection with audiences ‌ and he’s also very charming and amusing!â€?

Beginning with complimentary tea, coffee and delicious baked treats courtesy of Sardis Bakery before flowing into a sea of tranquil and moving sound, Sarah Hagen with special guest Krzysztof Kaczka will showcase the intimate and dynamic relationship between both piano and flute, and these two friends. Sarah jokingly brings up her friendship with Krzysztof when asked about how these two performers interact with another, revealing a connection that is sure to shine through in their performance at the Centre. “Krzysztof and I have a funny way of meeting up in unlikely places�, Sarah reflects. “We first met at the Banff Centre for the Arts, but really became friends when we ran into each other on a bridge in Paris. After our last British Columbia tour we ended up going to New York City to play at The Carnegie Hall together, and by a strange coincidence last May we were able to make a quick trip to Prague and it was there that we began to plan our programme for this autumn.�

Complementing the connection between Sarah and Krzysztof perfectly will be the profound and intimate atmosphere that Sarah says is a definitive aspect of her experience performing in Chilliwack. Although Sarah is known for her innovative and engaging approach to live performance, it seems that the environment of the Rotary Hall Studio Theatre just adds something else a little special.

Such a spontaneous meeting is perhaps not unusual, considering Krzysztof ’s habit of globe-hopping. After leaving his native Poland to study extensively

So for the very best way to begin your day, come along and enjoy what promises to be a breathtaking morning of classical music when Sarah Hagen and Krzysztof Kaczka reveal their musical connection on October 24, 2014.

Alive Outside

Exploring the outdoor opportunities for active seniors As I lave long touted, I believe that Chilliwack is home to some of the best recreation opportunities anywhere in South West British Columbia!

However I have seldom broken this claim into accessibility factors that address the disparity in how this great terrain is used by Chilliwack’s aging population.

I love getting out on the Rotary Trail along the Vedder River, because it is with out a doubt the best example in our City of the most divers cross section of people all playing in the same place.

Young families explore along the fish bearing

Peach Creek, as active, middle aged people jog and cycle by with friends and dogs in tow.

This green corridor along the Vedder River truly is a great accomplishment in building multiuse functionality in a Sam WADDINGTON trail, and unparalleled accessibility.

As I was jogging along the river the other day I saw an elderly woman pushing a man in wheel

chair, presumably her husband, and they seemed to be having the best chat as they strolled along. I felt compelled to stop and talk with them and see if this was a special occasion for them, or if this was a regular routine, and in doing so I came to find out that they walked the river trail every day, rain or shine. Ten minutes later I still had not resumed my running pace and instead had kept step with this lovely couple, discussing their active lifestyle and some of the activities that filled their busy days. They both frequent the aquatic

facilities for both relaxation and fitness classes, and in addition to their daily walks on the Rotary Trail, they try to explore a different walk somewhere in the area every week.

This couple loved the recreation available so close to where they live, however they didn’t shy away from offering some suggestions for progress. “We would love to see more options available exclusively for seniors,� they professed. And they are not alone in this sentiment. As I shared their story and my experience that day with a few other people, they too talked about

Chilliwack’s population demographics continuing to shift over time, and the increase in demand for accessible things for seniors to do, both recreation and lifestyle focused.

The couple that I walked with had a refreshing air of clarity as they dreamed of the future. They spoke about beginning to think about these issues now before the demand surpasses our community’s ability to find timely and affordable solutions. “If we could only set a small amount of money aside over the next few years,� they dreamed, “we could build some

great facilities that would make living in Chilliwack as a senior even better.� Eventually I resumed my run, however I couldn’t get the thought of senior’s activities out of my mind.

Gwynne Dyer on ‘What the First World War Taught Us’ Author, historian, and independent journalist Gwynne Dyer returns to UFV Wednesday, Oct. 22 for his latest guest lecture, titled What the First World War Taught Us. Beginning at 5:30 p.m. in the Abbotsford campus lecture theatre (B101), Dyer’s presentation looks back 100 years, when Canada sent hundreds of thousands of soldiers overseas to fight in a war that he feels didn’t threaten Canadians in any way. “Almost a quarter of those soldiers were killed or wounded,� notes Dyer in his lecture synopsis. “In a country that then had only eight million people, the tragedy left scars that never really healed. Our attitudes to war and our whole foreign policy are still shaped, for good and for ill, by the First World War, and it’s high time to reconsider them.�

Dyer has worked as a columnist, broadcaster and lecturer on international affairs for more than 20 years, but he was originally trained as a historian. Born in Newfoundland, he received degrees from Canadian, American, and British universities, finishing with a PhD in Military and Middle Eastern History from the University of London. He served in three navies and held academic appointments at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and Oxford University before launching his twiceweekly column on international affairs, which is published by more than 175 papers in 45 countries.

Dyer’s lecture is presented by UFV’s College of Arts.

I have a young family, a husband and three kids and my life is very complex. I needed choice, customization and spending a lot of money on glasses was something I couldn’t justify. My Great Glasses experience was awesome. I didn’t need an appointment for my eye test and I got three pairs of glasses for less than I paid for one pair at my regular optometrist. I couldn’t believe how great the deal was and how accommodating the staff were to me. I will not buy glasses anywhere but Great Glasses in the future.

I’m so glad that Bruce was willing to fight for good customer value.

Stopped by Walker The GW Graham Grizzlies fell victim to the Jesse Walker show Friday night, falling 26-6 to Mission in varsity football action.

The Grizzlies hosted the Roadrunners under the lights at Exhibition Stadium, and Walker was giving them fits from the get-go.

On Mission’s first offensive series, the Grizzlies had the Roadrunners in a third-and-13 situation.

Mission’s quarterback took the ball straight up the gut for a first down on a play he would run over and over — a wide receiver motioning through the backfield, a fake handoff and a charge up the middle.

Later on that drive he ripped off a 29 yard run and the Roadrunners had an early 6-0 lead.

Walker found the end-zone three times in the game, accounting for nearly all of the Mission offence.

He even went two of four on converts.

“Jesse Walker is probably the best skill player in the province and is virtually impossible to stop,” said GWG coach Laurie Smith.

And yet, the Grizzlies hung tough, and actually out-scored Mission 6-0 in the second half.

Credit an infusion of energy from some junior varsity callups.

Credit also the defence for forcing several turnovers.

Emerson Smith had a highlight-reel leaping interception in the first quarter. Kirkland Kennedy and Brett Westad also had picks.

Treyvon Walsh created another turnover, slapping the ball out of a Mission receiver’s hands for a teammate to recover.

The Grizzly offence moved well at times, sputtering at others.

Westad, GWG’s starting tailback, gutted out his fifth straight 100 yard rushing game (118 yards) and scored the only Grizzly TD. Walsh was the top receiver, hauling in several passes from quarterback Terrell Sparvier, who faced tons of pressure from Mission’s D-line.

“Overall Mission is a wellcoached very good team that played a solid game on both sides of the ball,” Smith noted.

“We know what we need to do to fix our issues and get ready for our next opponent, which has a comparable playmaker in Chase Claypool.

This Friday’s double header has GWG’s junior varsity squad leading off at 5 p.m. followed by the seniors at 7:30.

Claypool’s Abbotsford Panthers provides the opposition for the seniors. Both games are at Exhibition Stadium.

The Chiefs went ahead 3-1 midway through the second when McColgan wired a wrister from the high slot past Jarrod Schamerhorn.

Vernon responded 68 seconds later when rookie Branden Wagner banged in an Aldworth rebound in tight. It was Wagner’s second goal of the year.

The Snakes equalized at 7:11 of the third before 1,550 fans when Trevor Fidler found an empty net right side after Luke Voltin’s shot bounced off Pelino’s chest.

Aldworth netted his fourth of the season

with 11 minutes remaining.

He turned and fired a high shot from just inside the blueline after Mackenzie Bauer did some nice work to keep the puck in the Chiefs’ zone with no support.

McColgan forced OT just seven seconds after Pelino was pulled for a sixth attacker, burying a slapper from the point two feet off the ice, with 53 seconds left in regulation.

McColgan had two goals in Friday night’s win over Merritt, with his Chiefs making the stingy Cents look leaky.

Late goal helps Cascade men tie Vikes

Coming off their biggest win of the season the night before, the University of the Fraser Valley men’s soccer team had just enough left in the tank to claim a point against the Victoria Vikes on Saturday.

In their last home date of the regular season at Abbotsford Senior Secondary, the Cascades got a goal from Colton O’Neill

in the 79th minute to ensure a 1-1 draw with their Island rivals.

Cam Stokes had staked the Vikes to a 1-0 lead in the 30th minute, but the Cascades pressed for the equalizer and finally got it via O’Neill, who notched his team-leading fifth goal of the campaign. It was his first from open play, the previous four having come on penalty kicks. “I think this is the first year I’ve scored, so

to have five goals is pretty amazing for myself,� said four-year veteran O’Neill, who plays both right back and on the wing for UFV. “Kree (Byrne) just sent it in back post, close to the line, and I just put my foot through it, kept my head down, and it went in.�

The Cascades, coming off a thrilling 2-1 road triumph on Friday over previously undefeated and CIS No. 1-ranked UBC, found

themselves trailing in the first half on Stokes’s strike.

After O’Neill’s second-half equalizer, UFV continued to press and had a few more quality looks at goal, including a close-range header by O’Neill that was swallowed up by Vikes keeper Noah Pawlowski.

The Vikes had a great chance to claim the victory in the last minute of regulation, as Justin Donaldson Andrade got on the end of a low

All-star status Chilliwack’s Valley Huskers placed one player on the BC Football Conference post-season all-star team.

Place kicker Dan Erickson earned his second consecutive berth as punter.

Erickson booted 72 balls through 10 games, netting 2,016 yards with an average of 28 per kick.

His numbers would have been better with more help from his punt-covering teammates.

Meanwhile, receiver Kaanon Felix is a finalist for BCFC rookie of the year after racking up nearly 1,000 all-purpose yards.

He had 26 catches for 360 yards.

It was the last home game for five graduating UFV players – Village, Trevor O’Neill, Ryan Liddiard, Ravi Singh and Juan Pablo Mora Perea – and they were honoured in a pregame ceremony.

The Cascades (5-41, 16 points) tightened their grip on third place in the Pacific Division after Trinity Western

lost 3-0 to UBC on Saturday. Second-place Victoria (6-1-3, 21 points) maintained their five-point cushion on UFV in the standings.

There’s just one weekend remaining in the Canada West regular season, and the Cascades wrap things up on the road against Trinity Western next Friday and at UVic on Saturday. The Vikes host UBC on Friday prior to their rematch with UFV.

Edwards Vivian (Nee: Leask)

It was with great sadness that we announce that Vivian Edwards passed away on Sunday, September 28, 2014.

She was surrounded by her loved ones and passed peacefully and comfortably after several months of struggle.

Vivian was 84, born in Bethune Sask on December 12, 1929 to a proud prairie family.

She is survived by her husband of 62 years Jim, four sons, Dave (Jennifer), Bruce (Pam), Ross and Scott (Brenda) and her two foster daughters, BillieGrace and Lynn.

She had 11 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren as well as BillieGrace’s 4 children and 6 grandchildren.

Vivian is survived by her brothers, Joe and John of Medicine Hat, Alberta. She was predeceased by her sisters Mary and Beverly, brother Dick as well as two sons Brian and Douglas.

Vivian was very involved in both the Stellar’s Jay Lions Club and the White Cane Society as past presidents. Despite losing her vision and recent health issues, she never gave up and remains an example and inspiration to her whole family. Her compassion and deep sense of empathy touched all who met her, as did her laughter and incredible sense of humour which was with her until the end.

The family would like to thank the staff at Cascade Lodge for their care and kindness.

Vivian chose to be cremated and will be honoured at a “Celebration of Life” tea to be held at the Mt. Cheam Lions Hall at 45580 Spadina Avenue, Chilliwack. A casual drop in tea on Sunday October 26th from 1-4pm will offer an opportunity for family and friends to share memories, tears and laughter.

In lieu of flowers donations can be made the CNIB. “As selfishness and complaint pervert the mind, so love with its joy clears and sharpens the vision.”

Agatha completed her education

at the University of British Columbia and was the Librarian at Chilliwack Senior Secondary school until her retirement. In her retirement, she was actively involved in setting up a Library for a Christian University in St. Petersburg, Russia. Back in Abbotsford she devoted her time to translating family histories from German into English.

Throughout her life she was a member of a Church family and contributed countless hours in various roles at the Yarrow MB Church. Agatha was predeceased by her parents, two siblings and two nephews.

She will be greatly missed by a sister and a brother, her nieces and nephews and her close friends. Service was held on Saturday, October 11, 2014 at Bakerview MB Church, Abbotsford.

PORTER, Lloyd Lloyd passed away peacefully October 9, 2014 at Valley Have Comfort Home. He was born in LeRoy, Saskatchewan on January 26, 1934. The family moved to the coast when he was 8 and later to Chilliwack where he spent his school years. Lloyd`s early years of working were in logging. In 1957 he met Sonja, the love of his life, and they married in 1958 and later had a daughter Tamara and a son Patrick.

From 1961 - 2001 he was a line driver trucker. Lloyd loved his trucking days, the scenery and nature, and was always happy to report that he saw the first calf born each spring.

He leaves behind his wife Sonja of 56 years; his daughter Tamara; two sisters, Lois and Elizabeth and many nieces and nephews and a special friend of the family, Janet. He will also be dearly missed by his friends Holly, Peppi & Casey.

Lloyd was predeceased by his son Patrick, two brothers Keith and Ken and two sisters Phyllis and Rita. The family would like to thank Dr. Krakower and the nurses and exemplary care staff at Valley Have. Lloyd loved life and was known for his Irish `Blarney`. There will be a private celebration of life at a later date.

Online condolences to the family may be made to www.wiebeandjeskefh.com “Rest In Peace, my love”
