Be a snow angel Jessica Peters THE CHILLIWACK PROGRESS You don’t need wings to be a snow angel. You just need two strong arms and a willingness to shovel.
After all, not everyone is able to remove the snow that’s piled up over the last few days. With about 48 cm in snowfall, and blowing snow and snowplows creating piles at least twice that height, the job is not just enormous for some. It’s downright impossible.
Some driveways will be long and treacherous. Some sidewalks will be short and sweet. But as a snow angel, you’ll be able to clear them all with ease and a smile on your face. You may already be an unofficial snow angel, clearing paths for friends and neighbours so they can come and go more easily.
The Seniors’ Resources Society matches up residents who either elderly or disabled with their snow angels, to help fill this need.
If this sounds like you, then the folks at the Chilliwack Seniors’ Resources Society would love to hear from you.
And to find our more about the City of Chilliwack’s public works snow removal program, call 604-793-2810.
If you would like to help with removing snow from sidewalks and driveways during winter events, contact the society by email at info@cdsrs.ca or call 604-793-9979.

A Day to Give is hosted by the I Heart Kids and Rainbows Foundation, which will be sponsoring two families this year for Christmas thanks to generous donations from dozens of local businesses. Those businesses have also donated numerous prizes to be won.
Christmas activities are included with museum admission, which is $3 for adults, $2 for seniors and students and free for kids 12 and under.
Chilliwack River Valley Fire Department will be on hand serving complimentary Starbucks coffee. Bring your kids (and some items for the food bank), check out the fire truck, and enjoy a hot beverage along with other goodies.

RCMP officers from Chilliwack Traffic Services and Fraser Valley Traffic Services passed educational pamphlets addressing the perils of impaired driving to motorists during the operation conducted from 6 – 10 p.m. from three roving locations around the city.
“Police will have heightened traffic enforcement throughout the Holiday Season. Don’t risk getting behind the wheel after drinking. Help keep our roads safe for everyone over the holidays,” said Corporal Mike Rail spokesperson for the UFVRD.
Over 500 motor vehicles were checked by officers with police issuing five Immediate Roadside and three 24-hour Motor Vehicle Act (MVA) driving prohibitions to impaired drivers. An additional 28 violation tickets for other MVA related infractions were also served by police during the operation.
Operation Red Nose provides another safe option for getting home safely from a party.

“The Christmas Season is a time for parties and celebration. Police encourage those who choose to consume alcohol while enjoying the holiday season to plan for a safe means of transit to get home,” said Cpl. Daryl Dalby of Chilliwack RCMP.
Chilliwack RCMP acknowledge its partners from ICBC and The Chilliwack Safer City Team for their commitment throughout the month of December to the education of Chilliwack motorists on the danger of Impaired Driving.

The best way to spread Christmas Cheer...
Grade 4 students from Evans elementary sing to residents of Heritage Village on Thursday. The kids are students in Nicola Bramble's class and since September they've recently been doing random acts of kindness in the classroom, their school and the community. So far they have done things like making cards for school staff members, making art for fellow schoolmates, writing postcards to veterans, and playing secret Santa for kids who may be having a hard time in school. All of the students random acts of kindness are in the name of Bramble's friend, Cpl. Kevin Morris, who died of a brain tumour in September. JENNA HAUCK/ THE PROGRESS

Blending mind, body and soul at Central Valley Tai Chi Jenna Hauck The Progress
It cannot help you in a fight, he says, until you’ve built up the muscle memory.
Darrell Rigden stands with his feet shoulder-width apart. His breathing is relaxed. He raises his hands slowly up, then down. With fluid movements his arms open out to the sides, then he shifts his weight and steps back with his right foot. His left arm gracefully crosses over his right.
Rigden has been practising tai chi for 16 years. Two years ago he was confronted by someone wanting to pick a fight with him, but because of his thousands of hours spent practising tai chi, he was able to prevent the encounter from escalating. “You can diffuse almost anything,� he says. “I’ve experienced the absolute quiet, mentally and emotionally.�
He continues like this as his arms, legs and whole body seamlessly and quietly shift from one tai chi movement to the next.
Tai chi integrates mind, body and spirit. It relaxes one’s breathing and muscles. It calms the mind.
Ridgen is the owner of Central Valley Tai Chi, a studio which opened in March where he practises and teaches traditional Yang-style tai chi. “It’s unlike any other martial art that I know of,� he says, adding that there’s no belt system and no graduated advancement with tai chi. You simply study the poses and practise them over and over again. It starts with the beginner (short-form) tai chi which is comprised of 24 movements. Once someone has completed that, they move on to learn the next set of movements, eventually mastering the 108 long-form, Yang-style tai chi. But it takes time. A lot of time. “It’s almost useless for the first seven to 10 years,� says Rigden.
“Tai chi releases endorphins and dopamine which helps us to relax,� says Rigden. “It cannot be done with any tension.� With the slow moves and relaxed breathing, the chemicals in the body start to flow. “The mind and body calm itself completely and you can end up taking that with you.� Rigden loves the spirit that comes from tai chi. “One of the things I really appreciate, especially in a large group, is the energy that builds. It’s spectacular. You can feel it immediately.� It’s also the best physiotherapy a person can do, he says. Rigden should know — he’s had a number of ailments including five compression fractures in his spine, fibromyalgia, and
Darrell Rigden opened Central Valley Tai Chi in March. two workplace injuries which left tendons and ligaments in his knees and shoulders badly damaged. “I would not be functioning very well at all if it weren’t for tai chi,� says Rigden. Central Valley Tai Chi offers beginner (short-form), long-form, and advanced
classes, as well as a meditation class and a weapons/new forms class. Just recently they started offering yoga classes as well, taught by Sue Kumar of Kriya Yoga. Tai chi essentially makes one’s whole self healthier the longer and more frequently they practise it, adds Rigden.

Sing-along with Anna and Elsa snow drifts to climb, and even a giant snow creature named Marshmallow, there are a few hiccups along the way. They enlist the help of a few friends including a reindeer named Sven and a snowman named Olaf, and find their way.
Jenna Hauck THE CHILLIWACK PROGRESS Experience the magic of Frozen in a whole new way when it returns to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre in an interactive sing-along style on Dec. 16 and 17.
Frozen’s inspirational story and hit soundtrack won the film a Golden Globe for Best Animated Feature, two Academy Awards for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song, and two Oscar nominations for Best Animated Feature and Best Original Song. The 2013 musical is also the highest-grossing animated film of all time.
Join Anna and Elsa in singing the film’s hit songs, including “Let it Go” and “Do You Want to Build a Snowman”, when the biggest Disney movie of the decade transforms the Chilliwack Cultural Centre into a winter wonderland. Frozen tells the story of princesses Anna and Elsa on their quest to stop the eternal winter that has come over their home kingdom of Arendelle, and bring peace once again — but it’s not that easy. With a few evil villains, plenty of
This special showing lets fans of all ages join in the fun with Anna and Elsa in sing-along fashion, from duets like “Love is an Open Door,” to the humorous “Reindeers are Better Than
People.” Beautiful costumes, captivating songs, and even an appearance by Princesses Anna and Elsa themselves, Sing-along with Frozen is full of all kinds of enchanting surprises. There will be two showings, including a matinee so that even the littlest Frozen fans can attend without having to stay up too late. Everyone can have the chance to sing along to their favourite film. Sing-along with Frozen is coming to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Dec. 16 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 17 at 2 p.m. All tickets $18 and available at the Centre Box Office, online at www.chilliwackculturalcentre. ca, or by calling 604-391SHOW(7469).

Christmas Safety The holidays are a great time to get together with family and friends. However, holiday traditions can involve some safety risks that may not be found at other times of the year. Health Canada reminds Canadians to follow these tips for a safe and happy holiday season.

HOLIDAY LIGHTS AND LIGHTED DECORATIONS: • Check the Healthy Canadians Recalls and Safety Alerts Database before buying or using seasonal lights, as some may have been recalled. • Use lights that have the mark of an accredited certification agency, such as CSA, cUL or cETL. • Light strings and other lighted decorations, such as wreaths and reindeer, are rated for either indoor or outdoor use. Ensure that indoor lights and decorations are used only inside. Read the instructions on the package and do not exceed the recommended wattage.

• Check all light bulbs, light strings and cords. Replace broken or burned-out bulbs, and discard any light strings or cords that are frayed, or that have exposed wires or loose connections. • For pre-lit trees and decorations, ensure that wires are securely fastened to the product and are not pinched if the product unfolds or moves during use. • Always turn off all holiday lights, lighted decorations, pre-lit trees and decorations before you go to bed or leave your home.
HOLIDAY TREES AND DECORATIONS: • When buying a real tree, make sure it’s fresh and water it daily. • Keep trees away from heating vents, radiators, stoves, fireplaces and burning candles. • Choose tinsel, ornaments, artificial icicles and other trimmings made of plastic or non-leaded metals.

CONTINUED FROM PG. 22 • Don’t let children put decorations in their mouths, as some may be harmful to their health. • Keep metal, sharp or breakable tree ornaments, and those with small removable parts or button batteries, away from young children. TOYS AND GIFTS: • Buy age-appropriate toys. Toys for older children may contain small parts or other hazards that may make them unsafe for young children. • Read and follow the labels, warnings, safety messages and other instructions that come with a toy. • Purchase sturdy, well-made toys that come with contact information for the manufacturer or importer.
• Ensure batteries are properly installed by an adult and not accessible to children. • Make sure that button batteries (often found in musical greeting cards, small electronic devices, children’s books and flashing jewellery) stay securely in the products. Look for products with battery compartments that prevent easy access. • Supervise children at play and teach them to use their new toys safely. • Toys can be recalled for health or safety reasons. Check the Healthy Canadians Recalls and Safety Alerts Database for more information about the latest recalls.
