Chilliwack man critically injured in bike accident Family of Jim Murphy asks public to donate blood, funds, after serious crash Jessica Peters The Progress A Chilliwack man remains in critical condition at Royal Columbian Hospital, following a serious biking accident at the Fairfield Island bike park.

Now, his extended family is fundraising to help his wife and children get through the next little while. They’re also pushing for eligible donors to give blood.

James Murphy was at the park with his family when he was involved in a mountain bike accident on Sept. 7. Murphy experienced blunt force trauma to his abdomen, severing his renal artery attached to his left kidney, a family member said.

“Jim was rushed by ambulance to the Chilliwack ER where they did an amazing job of trying to stabilize him,” said Mike Chamberlin, Murphy’s brother in law.

“With the massive blood loss, Jim depleted the blood supplies from Chilliwack and Abbotsford blood banks. In order to secure Jim’s survival he was rushed to RCH.” Continued: BLOOD/ p12

Visions of sustainability shared at Chilliwack rally Jennifer Feinberg The Progress A community conversation was kicked off Saturday afternoon in Chilliwack about what a more sustainable, “post-carbon” world might look like.

‘Rally for the Valley: Empowering a Sustainable Future’ saw reps from the Pipe Up Network and Sierra Club BC join a small group of community members and other green groups, for an afternoon of speakers, panel discussions and activities in Central Community Park.

Skwah elder Eddie Gardener sang a traditional song, and Grand Chief Clarence Pennier of the Sto:lo Tribal Council welcomed the small crowd.

Justine Nelson, of the Pipe Up Network, said they wanted to put a decidedly “positive spin” on the struggle for a more sustainable world, when moving past denial, and toward acceptance.

“This is why we threw this event,” Nelson said. “While we may not be a huge group today, we are a group of people who want to make an impact, and that’s what we need to focus on, to have a lot of people and rally for the valley.”

Sierra Club BC was co-hosting the event as part of the ‘The Future is Here Tour’ that the group has brought to a range of communities to talk about sustainable energy.

“We’ve been talking for a while now about not just fighting against the pipeline, but also fighting LNG developments and fighting endless

fossil fuel infrastructure and developments,” said Larissa Stendie, campaigner for Sierra Club BC. “But I also want to talk about what we’re for, and all the exciting stuff happening all across this province, all across the country and all over the world that is moving us toward a more resilient, a more innovative, a clean environment with green jobs.”

There’s a “movement” being built by concerned individuals and groups.

“It’s happening everywhere,” Stendie said, adding that the Chilliwack event was part of ‘The Future is Here Tour’ that Sierra Club has initiated and bringing to communities across Western Canada.

She said she heard about the

decision by waste recyclers Aevitas not to site their new facility in Chilliwack after a huge coalition rose up to oppose its location by the Fraser River.

“We are moving now into a postcarbon society,” she said. “If we’re waiting for market indications that we’re moving into this we’re seeing it. Look at the price dropping out of oil. Look at the failed tar sands projects.

“It’s really exciting times we’re living in, and you guys are at the front lines.”

Ben West of Tanker Free B.C. said he’s been involved in fighting pipelines and tankers and stopping climate change at its source for a while now.

City staff eye tougher asbestos regulations Jessica Peters The Progress City staff are looking into adding a bit more red tape to Chilliwack’s demolition permit process. It’s a move that could help curb illegal dumping, while providing safer work environments for construction workers and contractors.

As reported in August, several other cities are bringing in a new step in the demolition permit process that would require contractors to produce a hazardous materials report. In cities like Vancouver, Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Saanich and Nanaimo, no renovation or construction permits are issued until the municipality has a completed report on file.

Such inspections are already required by WorkSafeBC, but sometimes bypassed by contractors.

And WorkSafe has been cracking down. In Chilliwack, they arrived on scene the day Shannon Court was being demolished. No hazardous materials report was completed prior to the work start-

ing. In the report, a representative of the contractor on site said he wasn’t aware it had to be completed.

Lacking any recorded asbestos material removal, contractors could potentially dump their materials in a number of places.

Sometimes, those materials end up on the side of country roads. The Shannon Court materials were being taken to a dump on reserve, which is situated along the Fraser River.

A large load of material marked as containing asbestos was found this summer up Chilliwack Lake Road, and another large pile was recently discovered on Industrial Way. In both cases, these piles have been professionally packaged and labelled, but then dumped just off the road.

The Ministry of Environment confirmed with The Progress that they’ve received two complaints in the Chilliwack area through their RAPP hotline, once in June and once in July.

The City of Chilliwack also confirms that they’ve had to deal with

asbestos dumping in city limits.

When that happens, the city has to hire a hazardous waste contractor, who takes materials away for testing. Once it’s determined if there is hazardous material among the garbage, they have it removed properly.

Asbestos is in almost all buildings constructed prior to the mid1980s, and is believed to be harmless if left undisturbed. However, renovations and demolition loosen the particulates and creates airborne dangers. Once breathed in, asbestos fibres remain in one’s lungs forever, and can lead to severe illness and death.

Mayor Sharon Gaetz confirmed that “staff have been looking into” making changes at the permit level, and that council is expecting a staff report to come to the next council meeting, on Oct. 6.

Proper disposal of asbestos is costly. Materials from demolitions outside of Vancouver must be sent to dedicated landfills in other regions, some of the closest facilities being in Alberta.

Hazardous Waste Management

of B.C. says “if you are not sure that a material contains asbestos, play it safe and assume that it does.”

The Ministry of Environment encourages people to report illegal dumping to the RAPP line, at 1-877-952-7277, or #7277 on their cell phones.

The city says even more dumping comes at the hands of those operating clandestine labs. If illegal dumping carries the trademarks of a drug lab (barrels and containers of liquid, for example), witnesses are asked to report their findings to the fire department.

Bags of material, clearly marked ‘Asbestos,’ were recently dumped by the roadside on Industrial Way earlier this month.

Film commission rebranded as creative commission Charges Jennifer Feinberg

follow bait car theft

The Progress From sprawling acres of farmland to the streets of historic downtown, Chilliwack has become a go-to location for major film shoots.

The Chilliwack Film Commission has just been renamed and rebranded as the Chilliwack Creative Commission to broaden its horizons even further.

The name change points to the shift from an exclusive focus on film and TV industry, to a broader one that includes music, publishing, digital and interactive media, said Tim McAlpine, CEPCO representative on the Creative Commission.

McAlpine told council at a recent meeting at city hall that Chilliwack has proven to be an attractive filming location for major motion pictures, TV series and commercials. Chilliwack’s downtown was front and centre in the Sci Fy show, Eureka.

“Our scene-stealing locales, combined with CEPCO’s and the City’s responsive staff, have given Chilliwack a fantastic reputation with location managers and scouts in the B.C. film industry,” McAlpine said.

When a film crew rolls into Chilliwack, there are economic spinoffs. They sometimes shoot with Chilliwack facilities in the background for both small and large productions alike.

“They compensate our merchants, they eat in our restaurants and they stay in our hotels.”

Sometimes the film crews do something “wild” like temporarily paving a corn field to film a commercial starring the ghost of Steven McQueen driving a Ford Mustang.

“Downtown in particular has been a focal point of many TV series and movies.”

But the film industry can be

Tim McAlpine, CEPCO representative on the Creative Commission, briefed city council on the new direction the former film commission will be taking.

very cyclical and is very dependent on the relationship between the Canadian and U.S. dollar.

The Film Commission saw the need to look for more varied creative industry opportunities and hired consultants Nordicity to map out a “Creative Industry Positioning Strategy” for Chilliwack in 2012.

The rebranding of the Creative Commission, is part of that effort and the consultant’s research really gave CEPCO “a glimpse into Chilliwack’s under-the-radar creative industry,” he said.

The Creative Commission will be a sub committee of Chilliwack Economic Partners (CEPCO), and has its own new logo.

The creative industry they’re talking about includes commercial video and film production, web development, performing arts, computer animation and

more.

“It really showed the committee that there are a number of individuals and companies that call Chilliwack home and are exporting their creativity far beyond our city limits,” said McAlpine.

The strategy pointed to the need for the Film Commission to re-evaluate its role, and the potential was recognized for it to become “the catalyst” to connect the local creative community.

“We want to surface and connect these creative individuals and enterprises that are largely working independently,” he said.

And, it’s not just Chilliwack that’s starting to look beyond film.

The BC Film Commission recently rebranded itself as Creative BC. So while the plan is still to attract the film industry to Chilliwack as it has for 16 years, there’s also a

plan to “turn inward” and look at some home-grown talent.

“To celebrate this shift, we are planning an event — a Sweet 16 party if you will.

“It will be fast-paced, insightful and inspirational and I would like to invite the mayor and council to attend, as well as the general public!”

PechaKucha 20x20 is a free event. The audience will be flashed 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The speakers will talk along to the images.

PechaKucha 20x20, is on Oct. 22 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the UFV Atrium at Canada Education Park, Building A, 45190 Caen Avenue. RSVP and reserve a seat for PechaKucha 20x20 by registering at bit.ly/creative chilliwack jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

An Abbotsford man has now been charged with theft after allegedly being caught driving a police bait vehicle on Aug. 26.

On that day at about 3 a.m., RCMP in Chilliwack were alerted to an alarm triggered from a bait vehicle parked in the 44000 block of Yale Road.

Officers quickly stopped the stolen pickup in the 45500 block of Yale Road.

Cpl. Brock Rayworth of the RCMP crime reduction unit said bait vehicles are parked in areas identified as high risk for auto crime.

“Once the bait car is stolen, the police communications centre is notified of a potential thief,” he said.

Jeffery Travis Dolter, 41, from Abbotsford faces one charge of theft over $5,000, as well as a charge of possession of a break-in instrument.

He has been released from custody pending a court date on Sept. 15.

Rayworth said police have access to pickup trucks, cars, watercraft, off-road vehicles and trailers from one of the largest bait car fleets in the Lower Mainland.

“We blend the bait cars into the community, constantly replacing our vehicles and changing their locations,” he said.

Dolter was convicted earlier this year of two counts of possession of stolen property under $5,000 and breaching his bail conditions. He was sentenced in July to four days in jail, according to the provincial court database.

He is also still before the courts on a theft charge from April, as well as for theft of a motor vehicle and taking a vehicle without the owner’s consent.

A third of people caring for a frail senior at home are in distress, and yet some provincial supports such as adult day programs remain under-used, according to a new report from B.C.’s Seniors Advocate.

A survey of health assessments for 30,000 B.C. seniors found that the majority of those who report fatigue and other stresses from caring for a relative or friend aren’t using provincial programs.

B.C. offers three kinds of respite services, adult day programs, respite beds in care facilities that offer care for up to 30 days at a time, and home support visits from care aides.

Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie said availability of programs is better in urban areas than rural ones, but in general B.C. offers less respite care than Alberta and has more unpaid caregivers reporting distress.

Mackenzie says increasing availability for adult day programs could reduce emergency visits from complex home care patients by a third, and hospital admissions by half, detecting medication or other health

B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie

problems before they produce a hospital visit.

One puzzling result from the survey is that while there are waiting lists for adult day programs in B.C., one out of four spaces is empty each day.

Mackenzie said there may be logistical problems with home care patients, such as a need to attend medical appointments at the same time as the day program is offered.

Mackenzie isn’t suggesting government-paid substitutes can replace volunteer caregivers, most of whom are spouses or other relatives, but says they should have more opportunities to take a break.

“Caregivers do it all,” she said.

“Sometimes it is simple as driving mum to the doctor’s office.

Other times it is as complicated as insulin injections or changing catheter bags.

“Sometimes it is dropping in on mum and dad at the end of the work day and other times it is living with your wife of 65-plus years as she surrenders to the ravages of dementia, does not know who you are, cannot be left alone and must be fed and toileted.”

Health Minister Terry Lake said the province has increased investments in home health services over the past 10 years, and is working with health authorities to shift from hospital to homecare as the population ages.

Mackenzie said the number of adult day program clients and days utilized has declined in the last three years, and the number of respite beds at care facilities also appears to be down.

The survey found that only half of the clients registered for home support reported receiving a home visit in the previous seven days.

The report and other services are available at the Seniors Advocate website, www.seniorsadvocatebc.ca.

Abattoir application withdrawn Jennifer Feinberg The Progress An application to City of Chilliwack for an abattoir to be built on agricultural land was withdrawn by the applicant at the last minute.

The proposal was for a beef processing facility on Brannick Place that would handle about 100 cattle a day.

A public hearing for the text amendment that was originally slated for Sept. 15 was cancelled on Monday.

Brian Bilkes of Meadow Valley Meats said the company still intends to build a facility, but the location is still unclear.

The online comments about

the proposed slaughter house idea were both negative and positive, but many remarked it was a good idea but not in that spot, and some were concerned about odours that would emanate from it.

The location of the abattoir, in behind some businesses, close to Yale and Airport, was an issue for one social media commenter: “Why in town at all? Should be in rural area,� said Gina Ellis.

Others saw it differently. “It’s the perfect place for this agricultural meets industrial activity,� commented Collin Rogers, adding to the online reaction.

The Chilliwack Agricultural Commission wrote a support letter, noting the project â&#x20AC;&#x153;would support opportunities for a strong, viable and profitable meat industry in British Columbiaâ&#x20AC;? and the proponent reassured city officials there would be efforts made to contain any odours.

The proposal also had the support of the British Columbia Cattlemanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Association and the BC Food Processors Association. jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

A little park with a big family history, Skelton Park shines.

You may have noticed the one-acre patch of green space across from Chilliwack City Hall, but not known how cherished it is by the locals.

Skelton Park (8535 Young Road) got its name from the Skeltons, who have been a well-known family in Chilliwack since Robert Skelton and his wife and six children moved here in 1914.

After a few years to settle in, Robert Skelton purchased a wood-frame building on Wellington Avenue and, with the help of his sons Clifford and Norman, turned it into R.G. Skelton & Son Men’s Wear in 1926.

Unfortunately, a fire destroyed the store in

The beautifully redesigned, small park across from city hall is infused with a rich family history.

March of 1930.

A few months down the road, the Skeltons had constructed a new structure that was built to last, The Skelton Building, a name that still reads clear in the concrete. Though

Robert died in 1935, the Skelton Building remains at 45957 Wellington Ave, now home to Gord-Ray Men’s Wear Ltd. Skelton Park is dedicated to Robert’s son, Norman

Alfred Skelton.

Throughout his life, Norman became recognized in the community as a principal in Chilliwack schools (1928-1952) and as a filbert nut farmer.

In 1964, Norman died at the young age of 55, but his wife Agnes made sure that he would forever be remembered in Chilliwack. Not only did she donate the park to the Township of Chilliwack in 1966 in his name, she also built Norman Manor Rest Home in 1967 as a monument to his memory.

Norman Manor Independent Living, renovated by Eldon Unger in the late ‘90s and managed by Optima Properties, currently provides housing for 29 self-sufficient seniors. “It is a cute, quiet little community that provides a home-like setting,” said Wilma Wahl, manager at Optima Properties.

Wahl explained that Norman Manor residents will quite often go to Skelton Park, which is right next door, “for a picnic or just to hang out” in the newly renovated space.

Skelton Park, in its early days, had a large evergreen tree and a surrounding water pond. Due to a need for repeated repairs, and a cracked water feature that was beyond remedy, the park was renovated in 2013.

Residents of Norman Manor, originally built by Agnes Skelton and named in honour of her late son Norman, regularly enjoy the adjacent park.

Park into a contemporary green space, with a water wall and a reflecting pool, plenty of access points and seating, and a prominent display of the park’s dedication.

The wheelchair-accessible park is a popular, serene destination for the surrounding retirement community, and the greater general public.

Agnes, who was an avid gardener, would be proud of the park’s colourful gardens that draw your eye as you travel down Young Road.

Though Agnes passed away in 2006, her dedication has too been installed in the park, reunited with her husband in memory.

Fraud: everyone’s business

The Chilliwack

Progress

R AESIDE

Any of us can be the victim of a fraud, but a recent and disturbing twist involves phone calls from individuals who falsely claim to be from the Canada Revenue Agency. The aggressive patter is that these people have been found in arrears with the CRA and have to pay up.

The caller requests immediate payment by credit card or convinces the victims to purchase a prepaid credit card and to call back immediately with the information. The taxpayer is often threatened with arrest, charges, jail or deportation.

Yes, these criminals, aside from being lowlifes and sleazy, are also bullies. Intimidating a man or woman who may be lonely, ill, grieving or in the early stages of dementia is the height of cowardice.

Those criminals rely not on gullibility or even innocence, but people — seniors or not — who find it hard to conceive of someone stooping so low as to imitate the taxman and use threats of arrest or deportation.

And because, incredibly, there are such people out there, we have to pay extra attention to protecting the vulnerable in our society. It’s one thing for family to have a chat with Mom or Dad to warn them about such things, which every relative of a vulnerable senior ought to do.

Keeping our seniors safe from these and other crimes is everybody’s responsibility. After families, the police and the media have done what they can, there is a gap in communication that can be hard to fill.

Anyone involved in sales, promotion and advertising knows, even in the age of the Internet, that word of mouth is the gold standard of spreading information.

That means the most effective way to protect our seniors from fraud is to talk with them, to provide spaces in society where they are woven into and part of the entire social fabric. Criminals rely on loneliness, isolation and lack of information for their exploit ive schemes to be effective.

Crime is not just the responsibility of the police.

We all need to participate in creating a society where exploitation is not just difficult, but almost impossible. ~ Black Press

B.C. V IEWS

Protest stunts distract from real efforts “I am tired of managing poverty.”

The words of Lake Babine Nation Chief Wilf Adam were quoted by both Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Premier Christy Clark at their second annual meeting with aboriginal leaders around the province.

In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic development and resource revenue sharing that have dominated the government’s approach in recent years.

“Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations communities,” she said, adding “the only way we can fight poverty is to grow the economy.”

Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natural gas development for the Haisla Nation near Kitimat.

That and similar proposals require new gas pipelines. And as is customary in B.C., what people

most often hear about are threats and wild claims regarding protests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline.

There was a round of this in late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the militant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed Tom hundreds of RCMP FLETCHER officers were about to descend on the camp. This echoed previous false claims made by self-styled anarchists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been organizing outside support for the camp for the last couple of years.

Media jumped at the prospect of another Gustafson Lake-style confrontation. This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl.

Janelle Shoihet of the North District RCMP. “To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no intention of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasizing that police are not taking sides or acting as security for pipeline exploration crews being harassed by protesters, who have token support from a couple of dissident members of a Wet’suwet’en clan.

Four elected chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that represents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their communities.

“Our Nations support responsible resource development as a way to bring First Nations out of poverty and bring opportunities for our young people,” said Burns Lake Band Chief Dan George.

Wet’suwet’en First Nation Chief Karen Ogen said job and benefit agreements for the Coastal

Progress

GasLink pipeline were entered into after careful consideration, and she objected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country.

“Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, providing our young people with good paying jobs, and reducing the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now experience,” Ogen said.

Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gas-related development as long as anyone.

Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members.

“Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future.

“Politicians are quick to shout

out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?”

Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by.

You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them.

More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided protesters.

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best Re: Urban society slides into helplessness (B.C. Views, Sept. 9) Thanks for the article on the way society cannot handle any small upsets to the status quo.

I remember the big windstorm of 2006, which incidentally was in December. I was a 60-plus senior at the time, and my power was out in a residential area of Colwood for five and a half days, as our twohouse power line was not a high priority in the queue. I watched the

Hydro trucks go by day after day, waiting my turn for reconnection.

Fortunately I have a wood stove that can heat my house, boil water and cook food. It does get tiresome living by candlelight but I had my disaster radio nearby to listen to the local station give updates on how Hydro was doing. Most of my freezer contents were moved to friends’ homes, and my garden shed became my refrigerator.

Anyone with common sense

can understand that the repair crews work tirelessly to restore power as quickly as possible, and perhaps the media could help by reminding people that they need to fend for themselves for several days if the major earthquake ever occurs. Calling 911 just clogs up the lines and can stop people from getting through with real emergencies.

Whatever will we do when the “big one” comes?

Margaret Mercer

Aid must strike the right balance Despite the best efforts of Mr. Harper and his gang, Canada remains one of the richest countries on the planet. Our standard of living ranks near the top and our economy is reasonably stable. I think we could take in thousand of immigrants from the Middle east. However, the red tape involved means that there very probably will be more photos of drowned children, devastated parents,

and crowds of desperate people fleeing for safety because our federal government thrives on red tape. You tell me, Mr. Harper, if a properly filled in form is worth a human life?

It has been pointed out that our country is in dire need of skilled workers and one would assume that there must be thousands of these amongst the throngs of immigrants. We have recently been told that

the refugees who are fighting the hardest to get to a friendly shore are the one we should be welcoming. They are the energetic ones, the hard workers and the most likely to contribute to Canada and to adopt our way of life.

There is one fly in the ointment, however.

We’ve all heard the old saying about, “Charity begins at home.” While we’re taking in refugees, are we going to make

Smoking costs add up Re: Two letters from people offended by the new smoking bylaw.

The new anti-smoking bylaw has obviously offended smokers.

We pay for ‘free’ healthcare by way of income tax deducted, therefore it is hidden, not free.

Cigarette smoking has assorted costs: The average cost per package of cigarettes $10 equals $3,600 per year.

How much is your loss of income before surgery from typical health smoking related health problems.

Costs which are not free – but paid for in our income taxes: Cost of doctor’s visits. Cost of surgeons visits. Cost of admission to hospital. Cost of hospital room.

Cost of surgery. Cost of post-op care. Nursing costs.

Medicine / prescription costs.

Driving to and from all these

things are gas and wear and tear on your car.

Shortened life span by average 10 years at an average income of $50,000 per year = $500,000 (if invested wisely for 10 years would produce more than that amount.)

The individual and societal costs of smoking remain unacceptably high. More than 45,000 current and former smokers die each year in Canada due to smoking, and dollar costs attributable to smoking-related disease are $17.5 billion. This is $388,889 per person. Who paid for that dear smoker?

How much less income tax would we pay without smoking costs being covered?

And don’t forget the loss of quality of life – things you cannot do with family and friends anymore. Can you put a price on that?

Courtney Saunders.

the effort to try to solve the problem of homelessness? Are we going to do something to help the single parents, folks who can’t work for whatever reason, poor seniors, First Nations people on remote reserves in the North?

We need to find the balance and help all of the above, despite Harper and his crew.

Hospital help I want to commend the nurses and doctors for the excellent care they gave me during my admission to the Chilliwack Hospital on four different occasions since April. During that time, I also made numerous trips to emergency. I was always treated with utmost respect and concern. I admire the nurses and doctors for working long hours to help us in our need.

We are privileged to live in this country and are grateful for the medical services we receive.

Rally hopes to raise awareness RALLY from Front “I can tell you it’s really tough fighting these massive corporations,” West said. “I would ask you to consider this one fundamental lie, which is that we need the technology and fossil fuels to continue at its current pace. The truth is we don’t need fossil fuels anymore in the way that we used to.

“In fact we have tech now to drastically reduce our dependence on fossil fuels,” he said.

One of the first questions from a member of the public, during the panel discussion portion of the event, was about how to reach and engage people in a community like Chilliwack, with so many “climate change skeptics.”

Eddie Gardner, of the Fraser Valley Farmed Atlantic Salmon Boycott, replied one idea might be to reach out to church leaders and congregations to take a spiritual but ecumenical approach to get the message across.

people and get them involved,” said Gardner. “The other way is through creativity and through youth.”

Aside from how to wake people up, the other question from the floor was about the recent run-of-the-river power project proposed for Tamihi Creek in the Chilliwack River Valley.

“I’m not necessarily against it but I am concerned about environmental impacts. I’m not sure how to move forward or if I should be concerned about this,” said the questioner. “Is it good for our valley?”

Her understanding was that B.C. “does not even need the power,” she added.

“Good question,” said Gwen Barlee, campaigner for Western Canada Wilderness Committee. “I will be up front the Wilderness Committee has been very opposed to private run-of-river or river diversion projects.

“One of the reasons why we are opposed is that it has a very negative impact on BC Hydro.

BC Hydro is a publicly owned utility and the dividends that it

produces comes back to public dividends.”

Many don’t know that B.C. is in an “electricity surplus” and BC Hydro is forced to sell that energy at a loss, she said.

Also these power projects were never supposed to be situated in fish habitat, but 97 per cent of them are, she said.

One of the problems with once they are up and running, these projects have issues with “ramping” in the river when levels go up and down too quickly, that can strand fish.

“A stranded fish becomes a dead fish within about 10 minutes,” Barlee said. “And so because of that the Wilderness Committee is strongly supportive of green electricity, lowcarbon electricity, but there’s a right way to do green energy and a wrong way to do green energy. We believe the slow motion privatization of B.C.’s rivers through river diversion projects is the wrong way to do it.” jfeinberg@theprogress.com twitter.com/chwkjourno

“The family asks that if anyone wishes to help show supports they can do so by giving blood at your local blood donor clinic,” Chamberlin said.

For those who want to donate to the family financially, an account has been set up at Envision Credit Union, account #3294618.

They are also accepting e-transfers to mikechamberlin@hotmail. com.

“The family would like to thank everyone for their prayers and support in this tragic time,” Chamberlin said.

Where to give blood: The next local blood donor clinic is on Sept. 28 at Tzeachten First Nation at 45855 Promontory, from 1:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Large format artists wanted Larger is better in this case.

The Chilliwack Cultural Centre and the Chilliwack Visual Artists Association are collaborating on a project that provides the opportunity for local artists who work on a large scale to display their artwork in the lobby of the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.

The display will continue to rotate twice a year in January and July. The deadline for both January and July 2016 exhibits is November 14, 2015.

All media is acceptable but must be able to be displayed in a hanging mode either on a wall or in front of a window. A limited number of freestanding pieces will also be considered. All submissions will be juried and if accepted, then the artist will be expected to sign a contract.

The subject can range from local interest to anything related to the visual or performing arts.

There is no limit to the number of pieces submitted provided that each piece is no less than 4 feet by 6 feet.

Artists will be asked to provide a detailed description; progress sketches and an idea of the overall size and include the anticipated date for completion.

Artists can respond to this invitation by completing a Lobby Artwork Submission Form (available from the CVAA website or can be picked up from the Cultural Centre Box Office on Corbould St.) and mail it along with a CD or good quality photographs of your art-work and, if possible, an Artists Statement to: Lobby Display Project c/o Michael Cade, Chilliwack Cultural Centre, 9201 Corbould St., Chilliwack, BC. V2P 4A6 Or just drop it off at the Cultural Centre Box Office at the same address.

Deadline for receiving submissions is November 14, 2015.

Business

Johnston’s Packers picked for Buy Local funding As consumers are more steadily looking for locally-produced foods to put on the table, an established Chilliwack meat packing company has been given a few tools to market itself.

Johnston’s Packers Ltd. has received $95,000 in funding to take part in the Buy Local program. Being a part of the program will allow them to promote their products and further educate consumers while increasing sales.

The first project, which is receiving $62,375, will allow Johnston’s to increase brand recognition, sales and loyalty by letting consumers know their pork is raised and processed in B.C. The project will include in-store promotions, cooking classes and advertising.

Johnston’s is also expanding their business by launching a premium raw dog-food brand, and this second project is receiving $32,812 in Buy Local funding. The new brand will include healthy, human grade ingredients, including local meats, fruits, and vegetables along with coconut oil and flax meal. The raw dog food will be sold in individual frozen portions, and the branding will ensure customers that the premium product they are buying for their four-legged friend is made locally.

“We appreciate receiving the Buy Local program funding as it will assist us in building awareness of B.C.’s thriving pork industr y,” said

SuperCare Pharmacy, supported by Guardian, has recently opened in downtown Chilliwack. O’hana, the owner, holds customer well-being and happiness as the number one priority.

O’hana has opened at the corner of Spadina and Main, at what he refers to as the ‘medical core’ of the city.

The competing pharmacies nearby present a challenge, but O’hana is confident that his business will succeed, “because we’re different.”

O’hana worked as a pharmacist in Egypt for 15 years prior to moving to B.C. with his family in 2008. He then spent time working in various pharmacies while completing his Canadian certification.

Since becoming certified, O’hana established and ran Hope Pharmacy for three years. Great success in Hope allowed him to pass his business onto his cousin so that he could expand to Chilliwack.

With him, O’hana brings the philosophy to which he credits his prior success. It’s all about making customers happy, which means offering the best value and going above and beyond to make life easier for them.

“People may think that prescription prices are the same everywhere, but that’s not true.” O’hana says that he offers the lowest fees and zero mark-up to provide the best price.

O’hana also takes measures to simplify the process of purchasing medication. He offers free city-wide delivery, and has a technology-driven medicinal education system in-store.

“A lot of people don’t know what to ask for, or they might be too embarrassed to ask questions.” This led O’hana to implement a touchscreen, self-guided system which allows the customer to find product options by selecting the symptoms they are experiencing.

“At corporate pharmacies, you’re just a number,” O’hana explains. As an independent pharmacy, “I want you to be impressed, because I have more on the line”.

O’hana learned of the new location on a coffee run while visiting downtown Chilliwack. The Chocolate Shoppe building was for sale, and it made perfect sense for him. “Every pharmacist needs doctors, and there are six nearby. Plus, customers can compare my prices to the surrounding pharmacies.”

mer service as top priorities. prioriti ities es.

SuperCare Pharmacy has opened in downtown Chilliwack, maintaining affordability and top-notch customer

It’s important for O’hana to facilitate trust with the community. Inspired by Lock’s Pharmacy, O’hana hopes that generations of families will return to his pharmacy because they trust his advice, appreciate his care, and feel that they are getting the best value.

Though his children are still young, O’hana is already thinking about their

future with the family business. “I built this for my kids.” O’hana explains. “That’s why I have two pharmacies, one for Tony and one for Karen,” to manage when they are older.

As you listen to him recount the interactions that he’s had with customers over the years, and observe as he carefully re-aligns the signage and products in his

store, it is clear that O’hana loves what he does.

O’hana welcomes the public to stop by SuperCare Pharmacy (9225 Main St) for their medicinal needs.

The pharmacy is open Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Saturday 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

QUESTION:

Should I change my silver (amalgam) fillings to white (composite) fillings?

ANSWER: This is a very popular question in dentistry today; one which does not have a simple answer.

Silver fillings are composed of a variety of metals including: mercury, silver, tin, and copper. Composite fillings are made of a combination of dimethacrylate monomers(acrylic) and silica fillers (glass). Both options have their indications and limitations depending on the circumstance.

Amalgam fillings have been around since the early 1800’s. It’s quite amazing that for the most part it’s composition is relatively unchanged. The most controversial aspect of the amalgam filling is the mercury component. Even though there is no scientific consensus to date linking any ill-health effect to the mercury release in dental amalgam restorations, some individuals choose to remove these fillings and replace them with non-amalgam like materials.

Generally, removing a sound filling for the sole purpose of replacing it with a

white filling is not recommended.

Any time a tooth is drilled on certain inherent risks need to be understood. Irritation to the tooth can create sensitivity(transient or long term which can potentially lead to the need for root canal treatment). Small craze lines can develop in teeth which overtime can lead to crack formation. This may then require crown treatment, which again may create a sensitive tooth!

However, if a situation exists like decay or a poor seal around an amalgam, then replacing it with a white filling is at this time possible.

Placing a white filling for the first time on a tooth is preferable(especially if it is small) because the amount of tooth structure removed will be less than it would be for a silver filling. It is the bonding of the composite to tooth structure that allows a more conservative drilling approach. Silver fillings are ‘wedged’ into a space in the tooth that is created by drilling. This space has to be of a certain size for the material to be durable; this space is usually larger than for a composite restoration.

If you have a concern regarding the amalgam filings in your mouth it is best to speak with your dentist to see what the best approach would be for you.

The Chilliwack

Progress Eric

Welsh 604.702.5572 • sports@theprogress.com

Rookies power Chiefs past Express Eric J. Welsh, The Progress Vimal Sukumaran scored twice in his BCHL debut and Aidan Pelino turned aside 39 of 42 shots Saturday night as the Chilliwack Chiefs won their home opener.

The Chiefs built up a 4-0 lead on the visiting Coquitlam Express, then held on for a 5-3 final at Prospera Centre.

Sukumaran was one of 10 BCHL newbies (including backup goalie Matteo Esposito) facing live bullets for the first time.

He enjoyed the experience.

“The atmosphere was great, the hockey was good and both teams had a lot of jump,” he said with a grin. “I knew Chilliwack was a big hockey town and so this debut was exactly what I expected it to be. It was a good time.”

Put Jeremy Germain down as the first Chiefs goal scorer of 2015-16.

Germain lit the lamp early in period two as he cruised through the slot and got his stick on a Bennett Morrison shot, fooling Coquitlam keeper Braden Krogfoss with the redirect.

The Chiefs doubled their lead at 15:27 on a breakaway snipe by Sukumaran. Credit defenceman Austin Adam with a stellar stretch pass to spring Sukumaran on a breakaway.

No. 11 went with the forehandbackhand move, roofing the puck over the right shoulder of Krogfoss.

“Austin found me right down the middle, which was nice,” Sukumaran said. “I thought I missed the net with the shot, but it went in.”

Chilliwack got one more in the middle frame.

With just 35 ticks on the clock it was Germain flying down the right wing and cutting hard to the net. Jake Smith arrived in the blue paint at the same moment and stuffed the puck past Krogfoss to give his crew a three-goal cushion.

Germain would end up earning first-star recognition for his two-point night.

A defensive blunder by the Express led to the fourth Chilliwack goal, scored at 6:34 of period three.

Forward Jonathan Irving had his pocket picked by Jordan Kawaguchi in the neutral zone.

After side-stepping a wild check

by Colton Kerfoot, Chilliwack’s captain was off on a breakaway.

Kawaguchi was thwarted, but Sukumaran pounced on the rebound and popped it past Krogfoss.

“Gooch did all the work, got to the net and I just came in

and picked up the rebound,” Sukumaran recalled. “Gooch is really good and an easy guy to play with. He’s shifty, really creative and he works hard.”

The Express goats quickly atoned for their errors by scoring the next two goals.

Irving at 7:42 and Kerfoot at 9:54 got the visitors within a pair and set up a nervous finish.

Chilliwack’s penalty kill had to come up large in the late going when the team ran into serious penalty problems.

With Morrison already in the box, Sukumaran was given a rare five-minutes-for-slashing major.

“I didn’t think it was that bad but I guess the ref thought otherwise,” Sukumaran said. “You make some mistakes out there and I probably shouldn’t have done that. But I’ll learn from it.”

Led by Aidan Pelino, nicknamed ‘Plugger’ by his teammates, the Chiefs weathered that storm.

A four-on-four goal by Coquitlam’s Owen Stout with 89 seconds to go brought the visitors within one. Krogfoss came to the bench with 73 seconds remaining and the 2,782 in attendance held their collective breath until Jesse Lansdell finally put the game to rest with an empty net tally.

Pelino collected the win and second-star honours with a 39 save performance.

Head coach Jason Tatarnic seemed pleased with his team’s effort.

His Chiefs spent a lot of time on the penalty kill.

Coquitlam struck out on nine power plays, including a lengthy five-on-three and five minute major.

Tatarnic wasn’t a big fan of some of the calls, most notably a minor and misconduct to Mark Esposito.

The second year blueliner caught Coquitlam’s Michael Merulla with a devastating, but seemingly clean, hit at the Chilliwack blueline early in period three.

He was given two for a blow to the head plus a 10 minute misconduct.

“It’s all angles, and sometimes they don’t have the proper angle to see what we see,” Tatarnic said. “I thought the Esposito one was shoulder on shoulder and the video replay showed it was. But they have a tough job and you can’t really blame them if that’s the angle they see.”

The Chiefs are on the road this weekend for a tough threegames-in-three-nights stretch against Merritt (Friday), Vernon (Saturday) and Salmon Arm (Sunday).

Bowen making Moose Jaw move It looks like Ryan Bowen will be going the Western Hockey League route after all.

One week after being named to the Chilliwack Chiefs captaincy group, the local kid has gone to Moose Jaw and wowed the Warriors.

The 17 year old forward has dressed for five preseason games, posting four goals and three assists.

He had two goals and two helpers in a Sept. 5 game against the Regina Pats and, after getting stronger and faster during offseason training, looks physically ready to compete at the major junior level.

“He’s a signed player

and they made it clear to put in one more seato him that they really son in his hometown.

“I don’t think they wanted him this year,” said Chiefs head coach/ were prepared for the general manager Jason idea that he was ready Tatarnic. “To be honest, to make this step, and I think once they he’s ready for realized how it. The more I much he watched him the improved over more I figured by the summer, you Christmas time can’t fault him for he’d be on his going,” Tatarnic way anyways.” said. “It’d be nice Bowen was to have him but Moose Jaw’s fifth we understood round bantam Ryan eventually he draft pick (94th was going to go.” ova) in 2013 and BOWEN “But hey, if appeared in two he’s a kid who regular season ends up being a National games last year.

In 53 games with the Hockey League draft Chiefs, Bowen collected pick, we played a part in 10 goals and 28 points his development.”

Bowen was to wear and the plan was for him

an A for the Chiefs, and Tatarnic wasn’t ready to name a replacement when asked.

“It’ll be someone, at some point,” he said with a smile. ● One forward out and another in as the Chiefs bring back Eric Benshadle.

Actually, ‘bringing back’ may technically not be the correct term for a player who was recruited over the summer but never arrived for camp.

One of the Connecticut kids, Benshadle opted to try his luck in the USHL. He was unsuccessful and Tatarnic’s expecting him to arrive in Chilliwack on Saturday.

Close but not close enough

Chilliwack’s Valley Huskers came within six points of getting their first win of the season.

But a 27-22 loss to the Westshore Rebels Saturday afternoon at Exhibition Stadium kept the BC Football Conference Club win-

less at 0-7.

Husker quarterback Noah Falconer had his best game of the year, leading an offence that generated a seasonhigh 401 net yards.

Falconer completed 28 of 57 passes for 358 yards and two touchdowns.

The Rebels couldn’t cover Husker wideout Blake Draper, who reeled in 12 catches for 160 yards.

He caught both of Falconer’s TD tosses and should be a favorite to take offensive player of the week honours in the BCFC. Jesse Deering caught six balls for 78 yards

as the Husker passing attack bailed out an ineffective ground game.

Chilliwack running backs managed just 20 yards on 13 carries, led

by Jackson Ryan’s 15 yards (on seven rushes).

R.J. Begg did bull into the endzone for a major.

The visiting Rebels got a 100 yard day from running back Jordan Worth, who rumbled for 139 yards on 11 carries with one touchdown.

Quarterback Ashton MacKinnon scrambled for a touchdown and hooked up with Noah Rogers for another.

Rebels kicker Bryce Couture provided the decisive points with a pair of field goals.

Defensively, Husker defensive back Jason Ghag had an interception which he returned 38 yards.

Brendan Kohls had a fumble recovery.

Linebacker Connor Smith added six solo tackles and a blocked kick.

The Huskers are back in action Saturday night at 7 p.m. as they host the Langley Rams (4-3).

See bcjuniorfootball. ca or valley huskers.org for more junior football info.

Clapp contends at Cape Breton Celtic Classic Clapp, who’s enjoyed a solid sophomore season, followed a familiar pattern with a solid first round.

Clapp’s 69 had him within sight of the leaders.

He followed that with rounds of 71, 70 and 71 to finish at 281, seven under par and 12 shots

behind the tourney winner.

Taiwanese golfer Cheng-Tsung Pan topped Canadian Taylor Pendrith on the second playoff hole to claim the $31,500 winners’ cheque.

Clapp pocketed a little less ($770) for finishing in a tie for 40th,

and has made a total of $39,119 on tour this year.

He has one more chance to pad his bank account, with the Freedom 55 Financial Championship starting Thursday in London, ON. See pgatour.com/ canada/en_us.html

NIKKEL, Mary Ann Nov 16 1926 - Sept 4 2015

John Conner

John passed away on September 1, 2015 in Agassiz BC. He was born July 27,1923 in Lethbridge AB. He is survived by his children David, Louise (David J), Scott (Cindy), Maggie (Jim), Julie (Michael) grandchildren Matthew, Jessica, Ben (Kristen), Anna May (Tim) and great grandchildren Avery & Conner. He is predeceased by his dear sister Mary, his daughter Mary and his wife Toni (Adeline Larochelle) In John’s words, I have lived a charmed life… filled with great love & joy, deep sorrow & loss, hard work & success and always an “idea” that he was working on which sparked many projects over the years.

John retired from a successful career in commercial art in 1979 and returned to his first love, painting. His drawings, oil paintings and watercolors will be his legacy leaving his family and friends with lasting memories. A private family celebration of life will be held in November when we reunite John with his loving wife of 55 years, Toni.

His family would like to express their gratitude to the many kindhearted people who supported dad in his home well into his 91st year and the caring staff and residents at the Glenwood Care Center for their kindness in his last few months. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Canadian Mental Health Association in memory of John.

On line tributes and condolences may be offered at Henderson’s Funeral Home in care of arrangements, 604-792-1344 www.hendersonsfunerals.com

Mary was born at Colonsay SK. She moved with her family to Greendale in 1947, so they experienced the great flood of 1948. After her mother suffered a stroke in 1949, Mary took up full time care of her in their home until her mother passed away ini 1954. Then she traveled to Ontario to find work.

Eventually she came back to B.C., took her LPN training and found a job in Children’s Hospital in Calgary, AB. There she was happy for many years.

Towards the end of her working career, she worked for a few years at The Bethany Care Centre for seniors in Calgary.

Mary loved to travel. She went to Hawaii, to Oberammergau for the Passion Play, to Isreal to see the Kabuteses, to Texas to experience the Gulf of Mexico. She traveled in Canada... at Christmas to bring boxes of Turtles for the nephews and nieces in B.C., to N.S. for a family gathering, to ON. to visit friends, to SK to visit her sister Katherine & family. Wherever Mary traveled, she found friends. At The Southwood Care Centre in Calgary where she spent her last years, one of the nurses who was with her in her last minutes, said of her, “She gathered good people around her everywhere she went, because she was such a good person”.

We will forever mourn the loss and enjoy wonderful memories.

At her request, there will be no funeral service.

It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of a much-loved man – husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, uncle and friend.

It was the simple things around him in life that Ernie never took for granted, commenting daily how fortunate and thankful he was. He married Elsie Braun in 1947, who died early in life from complications of Alzheimers’ Disease. Ernie married Esther Rosenau and they enjoyed 25 wonderful years together. Not only had he been blessed with two committed marriages, but two families, unified in the love of their parents.

Ernie involved himself in the lives of others. He was well known and respected in the local community, whether in Medicine Hat, Calgary, Kelowna or, in more recent years, Chilliwack. His business endeavours included farming, mining, trucking, managing Royalite service and bulk stations, and later, sales with Gulf Oil. Ernie was a man of deep faith that translated into years of volunteer service at various levels in the Evangelical United Brethren Church. He donated an annual scholarship to an affiliate college, contributing for fifty years. He also dedicated countless hours to the Alzheimer Society of BC, Snowmobiling Club, community board and Fraser Valley Salmon Society. Much time was spent on the Fraser, fishing with Esther and numerous fishing buddies, with stories that rival most.

His greatest pride was his family whom he prayed for daily. He believed in the power, grace and peace of Christ which he now delights in. Ernie will be remembered for his strength of spirit and joy of life.

Ernie is survived by his wife Esther, children and grandchildren: Melvyn and Linda (Kailea), Carolyn and Barry (Scott and Shaina), Bentley and Pat (Trevor, Joel and Jeremy), Marlene and Marvin (Chiara, Mark and Alayne), and Esther’s children: Marvin (Albert), Terry and Laurie (Michael and Dan), Glenda and Don (Meghan and Kayla), Gerald and Maisa (Frida), thirteen great grandchildren, siblings (Frieda, Christine and Lila), in-laws, nieces, nephews, friends and family. He was also predeceased by granddaughters Andrea and Jennifer.

A celebration of Ernie’s life will be held on Saturday, September 19, 2015 at 2:00 pm at Cross Connection Church, 9310 Williams Street, (corner of Williams and Princess) Chilliwack, BC If you so desire, memorial donations may be made directly to Samaritan’s Purse, 20 Hopewell Way NE, Calgary, Alberta, T3J 5H5,. Expressions of sympathy may be forwarded to the family via the website www.hendersonsfunerals.com Henderson’s Funeral Home in care of arrangements. www.hendersonsfunerals.com Henderson’s Funeral Homes 604-792-1344
