Gravel fight not over yet

A forum on sexual exploitation of women and girls is in Chilliwack this week. them range in age from about 16 to 40, she said, and their method of recruiting girls into the sex trade follows a predictable pattern. They befriend vulnerable girls, posing as their boyfriends, and get them hooked on drugs. When it comes time to pay up for the free drugs, the girls—unable to pay—are forced to perform sexual favours, often for friends at first and then for strangers.

It’s a lucrative business, according to Lloyd. “Depending on what kind of sexual favours they’re providing, the girls take in anywhere from $20 to $150,” she said, “and all of that money goes back to whoever is pimping them out. If they’re looking after eight or 10 customers a day, that’s quite a substantial amount.” In one of only three cases of See SEXPLOITATION, page 6

pponents of a controversial gravel mine in the Chilliwack River Valley that was recently given approval say the fight isn’t over. The Friends of the Chilliwack River Valley announced it would appeal the decision by the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum to approve the 40-hectare gravel mine proposed by Southview Sorting. The mine’s opponents in the valley have expressed concern for a number of reasons, but the main issues are trucks on Chilliwack Lake Road and possible contamination of the local aquifer. Meanwhile, the Fraser Valley Regional District (FVRD) is currently holding public meetings to discuss a provincial plan that, if implemented prior to the application, would have designated the Larsen’s Bench location “red,” or unsuitable for gravel mining. The Aggregate Pilot Project (APP) was initiated by the Minister of State for Mines in 2004 in response to persistent and intense conflicts surrounding aggregate operations in the FVRD. The purpose is to develop a set of recommendations for industry, local governments and the provincial government to reduce conflicts and secure a long-term stable supply of gravel. The next meeting is Oct. 14 at 7 p.m. for electoral areas D and E at the FVRD boardroom in Chilliwack, 45950 Cheam Ave. A copy of the APP recommendation report is available at the FVRD office in Chilliwack and online at www.fvrd.bc.ca.

1998 Sockeye leads to charges

The grand chief of the Cheam Indian Band was charged this week after an assault on a U.S. customs officer. DFO staff said the U.S. officer was quizzing a man near a Washington border crossing when the agent was assaulted. The agent was investigating an 11,500-kg load of sockeye salmon the man was attempting to illegally transport into the state. Charged was Sam Douglas, a former chief of the Sto:lo Nation.

bear destroyed last week after being spotted near the Vedder River Trail was probably making its way through town back towards its old stomping grounds, a local conservation officer says. The bear was tranquilized last Tuesday after being cornered in a tree by Chilliwack RCMP officers. It had made its way to within metres of the dog park near the trail and, according to police, showed very little fear of humans. After it was carted off in the back of a pickup truck, Sgt. Steve Jacobi with Conservation Officer Services said officers identified the bear as one that had been relocated just last month from Maple Ridge. It was then killed. “It was getting in the garbage and then it attacked a dog,” said Jacobi of the bear’s previous history. The conservation service, which will typi-

It totally lost its fear and we felt that’s it; it became a safety concern so we dispatched it.”

Three key issues: homelessness, addiction, crime Solutions sought in agency consultations BY CORNELIA NAYLOR cnaylor@chilliwacktimes.com

olutions to homelessness, addiction and crime aren’t simple, so the city of Chilliwack is bringing together health, education and social service groups to come up with a plan. In a month-long series of meetings starting at Evergreen Hall this week, the Chilliwack Healthier Community Strategic Action Planning project is getting input from government and community agencies, faith groups and individuals to see what programs and initiatives are already in place and what gaps need filling to address the city’s three most pressing social problems. “If we recognize that social issues like homelessness and addictions and mental health are community issues,” said Mayor Sharon Gaetz, “then it’s going to take our whole community to find solutions for them.” The meetings are the first step in developing a

strategic action plan, according to Gaetz, and are aimed at groups and agencies that already have their boots on the ground dealing with the problems. Too often such groups are unaware of the services and programs already in place, according to Gaetz, and that leads to overlaps and missed partnership opportunities. “What we’re hoping is that we can act as a facilitator for all of the discussions that happen around those issues,” she said.

Homelessness and affordable housing, addictions and mental health, and crime and public safety were identified as Chilliwack’s three priority issues in earlier initiatives calling for communitywide collaborations to tackle the problems. But those initiatives stalled in 2008 with the deaths of two members of the municipal Social Issues Advisory Committee (Grant Roberge and Kevin Busswood) and the retirement of another (former city councillor Mel Folkman). The city decided to start over this past March, and hired Maple Ridge consultant Vicki McLeod to design an engagement process. For now, that involves only agencies and groups already working on the problems, but the general public will also get a say once a draft of the strategic action plan is unveiled at an open house sometime early in the new year. “This is a starting place,” said Gaetz. “We don’t want to exclude anyone from the process because there’s some really valuable things we can learn about our community, but we need a place to start.” ! The consultations starting this week run from Oct. 13 to Nov. 19. For more information, visit www.gov.chilliwack.bc.ca or phone 604-793-2969.

Jacobi says the bear was probably heading back down the valley when it was cornered on Tuesday. Just like humans, bears like to use trails and thoroughfares when available. “The Rotary Trail is a good system and a good pathway for them to get through,” he told the Times. “Any kind of a corridor, they like travelling on.”

This is the second bear this summer that has been removed from the Vedder Crossing area. Jacobi said local bears tend to stay away from the heavily populated area. Those bears that do make it into the area tend to be interlopers or those that have lost their fear of humans and acquired a taste for garbage. While Jacobi has destroyed six bears around the Fraser Valley this year, a higher-than-normal figure, he says it’s been a good year considering the number of new bears out there. Last year, he said, was a good one for the species and led to the birth of many cubs. “There’s definitely an increase in bear activity throughout British Columbia,” he said. While out-of-town bears can cause trouble in the city, Jacobi says the bulk of human-bear conflicts stem from bears snacking at rural fruit or nut orchards. Local orchardists, especially those who harvest hazelnuts, must accept that bears may snack on a certain amount of their crop. “We try and get them to try and co-exist with the bears,” he said. That often means doling out advice on how to make trees or property less attractive to bears.

More than 220 burning permits have been issued since the beginning of October in Chilliwack.

The smoky season BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

hilliwack is burning again. The City of Chilliwack and its fire department have issued more than 220 burning permits since the beginning of October. Already many of those permits have been put to early use by farmers disposing of material accumulated during recent harvests. “It’s permitted when the ventilation index is good or fair,” said assistant fire chief James MacDonald. “They can only burn things that have originated in the land,” he added. That means no burning of waste or garbage or carting in material from other properties. There are also size limits—a burn pile can be at most two metres (about six feet) wide

and 1.5 metres high. While each burning permit comes with a list of rules on what is, and what is not, allowed, the fire department has been kept busy making sure regulations are followed. “They get a copy of the facts, but perhaps they don’t read the fine print,” said MacDonald. While warnings are often issued, fines of between $500 and $1,000 can also be issued to rule-breakers. “It’s worth waiting for a good day and making sure you’re burning the right stuff,” said MacDonald. No burning is permitted on residential land but is allowed on farms, where post-harvest organic waste disposal can be a challenge. “People with larger tracts of land really do have issues getting rid of all that material.”

Making the streets safer Crime Stoppers program a vital resource for police BY TYLER OLSEN tolsen@chilliwacktimes.com

he man is fed up with the drug dealers outside his Chilliwack apartment. He’s also scared. So one day, having finally decided enough is enough, he punches 11 digits into his phone. He may never know it, but an international series of events has just been launched; immediately, his call is whisked across the continent to Crime Stoppers’ answering service. The person who takes the call and transcribes the tip doesn’t know anything about the man, be it his name, phone number or address. The call has already been encrypted but, just to be on the safe side, after the man finishes giving his tip, the data is sent south, to the United States,

where the information is encrypted again. The man, meanwhile, is told to call a 1-800 number in a month or so to see if his information has led to any arrests—and thus, if he is eligible for a cash reward. And the RCMP back in Chilliwack, may be on their way to making the local streets a little safer. The convoluted encryption system—a similar one is used for tips submitted over the internet—isn’t simple, nor is it cheap. But for Crime Stoppers, an independent community-basednon-profit that works with the RCMP, any hassle is well worth the anonymous tips that have led to arrests and the seizure of drugs and weapons. Since its inception, Crime Stoppers has fielded more than 2,500 tips, which have lead to more than 1,000

arrests, the seizure of tens of millions of dollars of drugs, and the payout of $75,360 in reward money. RCMP Cpl. Len Van Nieuwenhuizen, the head of the RCMP’s Crime Prevention Support Unit and operational support unit, says the program has been a vital resource for local officers. “There have been some serious crime files and big drug files that we were able to take action on as a result of Crime Stoppers tips,” he said. While a Crime Stoppers tip alone is not enough to obtain a search warrant, Van Nieuwenhuizen said the tips are often the catalyst for successful investigations. “It’s often the first piece of the puzzle,” he said. And that piece is driven by anonymity. Concerned citizens can always call the police to report suspicious activities or possible tips. But Crime Stoppers allows those hesitant, for whatever reason, to come forward to See CRIMESTOPPERS, page 6

News SEXPLOITATION, from page 1 human trafficking leading to a conviction so far in Canada, an Ontario pimp was found to have made $300,000 trafficking a woman for 18 months. It’s that kind of money that has made human trafficking the fastest growing criminal industry in the world. And it means traffickers don’t let their victims go easily. “These men and women that are recruiting and putting these girls out on the street are absolutely brutal,” said Lloyd. Besides the threat of violence, women and girls stay in the sex trade because of addictions and the stigma of having been a prostitute, according to Lloyd “What are you going to put on you resumé?” she asked. Another method traffickers use to keep their victims in a state of modern-day slavery is to keep them off balance by moving them frequently from city to city cutting off avenues of outside support. There are regular “circuits,”

Too much money involved for traffickers to let go according to Lloyd. They can be as small as Abbotsford-Mission-Chilliwack (one circuit known to be used by traffickers), or the women could be transported across the country or even internationally. “If a girl is seen to be getting too close to an outreach worker or is starting to know a little too much information… they will be moved to another town,” said Lloyd. While Lloyd and Lewis paint a grim picture, both believe events like Sexploitation can make a difference because. “People need to get involved and to take their heads out of the sand,” said Lloyd Besides information, Lewis is also bringing a petition to the forum calling for the decriminalization of the selling of sex and the criminalization of the buying of sex—a legal model now used in Sweden. She said addressing the

Some want reward, others to help out CRIMESTOPPERS, from page 5 still provide their information. Some want the reward money, of course. Others, just want crime stomped out, according to Janett Amaro, the co-ordinator of the Upper Fraser Valley Crimestoppers and the person who speaks with locals wondering about whether a tip has led to arrests. “A lot of people are genuinely concerned,” she told the Times. “Especially when it’s about drugs; they’re concerned about children, and they just want to live in a safer community.” Indeed, the guarantee is so ironclad, the Supreme Court has ruled that Crime Stoppers tipsters cannot be subpoenaed and forced to testify in court. That focus on anonymity also means that if a person identifies themselves, Crime

demand side of the problem puts the responsibility for the crime onto the person with the most choice. “Those are the people that can put their hands in their pockets, take out money and actually decide where they’re going to spend it,” she said. “The trafficked girl has got no choice.” Shifting criminality away from trafficked women also removes a big barrier to them getting out of the sex trade, according to Lewis. She plans to present the petition to the Canadian minister of immigration and Joy Smith, an MP from Winnipeg who is advocating for same model. ! The Sexploitation forum starts at 7 p.m. at city hall. For more information, visit www. chilliwacksoroptimist.info, e-mail sichilliwack@soroptimist.net or call 604-847-2233.

Stoppers can no longer forward on that tip. Everything done is to ensure that the Crime Stoppers’ guarantee holds true. The success of the organization’s fight against crime has Amaro and the local organization investigating new avenues to gather tips and fight crime. Recently, the group has begun focusing on human trafficking and vandalism, and Amaro also hopes to soon allow tipsters to text in their tips, allowing for rapid response by RCMP. To do so, however, Crime Stoppers, which is funded entirely by community donations, needs more money. For the next several months, yellow-jacket-wearing representatives will be out in the community selling coupon books. It’s a fundraising tactic never used by the group and one, Amaro says, that has drawn some questions. Amaro is reminding the public that the coupon books are legit but that those going door to door should be able to provide identification upon request.

◗ Opinion

Queen’s Lackey too good for vote H

allelujah! Royalty be praised! We have a new Queen’s Lackey to help guide us poor common folk through the pitfalls of Canadian democracy. And this one appears to have a brain that actually works at least as well as my solar-powered queen* (note below). I think it’s absolutely wonderful that, in a progressive democracy (defined variously as “a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives” and “the practice or principles of social equality”), we know that we can rely on a person appointed to represent a figurehead of state—who rarely sets foot in our country, which suits most of us fine because she costs us so darned much when she does—to steer us right when we go wrong. Representation based on popularly determined merit? That’s not our style of democracy, thank you very much. Much better, we allow a toady to be picked for us, someone picked by someone who knows much better than we do how much better he knows than we do how our democracy should function for us . . . or not. Elections? Are you kidding? You can’t let ordinary people pick a person as

BOB GROENEVELD

Be Our Guest important as the one who interprets our constitution for us, or who has the final word on how or when our parliament runs. Just think: would you have elected a bimbo who would allow a prime minister to shut down Parliament because he was afraid democracy would take its proper course? Of course not! That’s why Michaele Jean had to be appointed to handle that important role. You just can’t leave a job like frivolously—and dangerously— proroguing Parliament to a secret ballot. With the whole country voting. Everyone. Even commoners. It would seem so . . . undemocratic, don’t you think? For us to decide for ourselves? Who knows what wonders we would be missing in future, if we had been allowed to vote for David Johnston . . . and didn’t. * Just as an aside, my solarpowered queen waves at me from atop my filing cabinet when the

sky outside isn’t too cloudy, making her significantly more powerful most days than the real thing. After all, since the real Queen E2 no longer has the option of exercising her right to lop off heads, ordering her troops to arrest parliamentarians who choose to vote contrary to her wishes, or sleeping with newlywed brides on their wedding nights, her only power is to stand and wave at the crowds of people who come to adore her. And since my solar-powered queen runs purely on light, with no human frailties like having to ingest, digest, and, well, food and drink in order to maintain her waving hand’s energy levels—it’s clear who’s the more powerful, eh? And while she bears only a passing likeness of Queen E2— and is much, much smaller—the real bonus is that she cost us far less, comes dressed in her choice of three lovely pastel colours (mine is wearing a smashing pink granny dress), and can be purchased from the standard BBC catalogue. Yes, indeed, far superior to the real thing. And so she doesn’t give me any guff about when I should or shouldn’t vote, or allow herself to be bullied by tyrannical prime ministers, I also deem her superior to any mere Queen’s Lackey.

or the past four years, October has been set aside as Small Business Month in B.C. The aim is to raise awareness of the large role that small businesses play in the province’s economy—a role that, collectively, stands in marked contrast to the size of the individual players. For instance, there were nearly 400,000 small businesses operating in B.C. in 2009. According to B.C. government statistics, that represented a three per cent increase over 2008, despite the relatively unhappy global economic climate that prevailed last year. Nearly 60 per cent of jobs in the province’s private sector are provided through small business operations—that’s nearly six of every 10 people employed in the private sector throughout British Columbia. Furthermore, about one of every five workers in B.C. is self-employed, the highest rate of self-employment in Canada. The bottom line is that small businesses provide gainful employment to more than a million British Columbians. Chilliwack and the surrounding area is home to hundreds of small businesses, and to the entrepreneurs who make them and the entire province’s economy plough through tough times and grow when the climate is more amenable. Those entrepreneurs are your next-door neighbours and your friends, and probably number among the members of your family. They keep B.C.—and the people who call this province home—working. They’re worth celebrating, and the small businesses they operation are worth promoting through October.

I also said that he underestimated the voters and that it would be unlikely that they would vote for green streets. The former proved true; the latter is still up for debate. Here in B.C. we’re innovative but lazy, voting online or at an ATM would be cheaper and above all so much quicker. The one thing I learned from my own recall experiences is that people wanted it now, not a year from now. This flaw in the system has recently surfaced and is unacceptable. With a direct voting system, any voter can propose a law, a recall or an initiative. You just post it online and if the majority of voters agree, bingo, you’re done. No more discussion, no political involvement at all, just you and your conscience. The savings are huge, and nobody is prevented from making their case anyway they want to. In practical terms, this would mean that the recent HST debate here in B.C. would be over, no arguments accepted, the people speak, the hired help do what they are told. It would be feasible to enforce a mandate that would render our elected officials, true servants of the people that would be forced to go along with the majority. That alone would be a shock to the system. Just imagine the difference it would make if what you said mattered. Joe the Logger posts a proposal, the majority agrees and it becomes law. In a recall or an initiative, the benefits are obvious, no wasting fuel and resources roaming around the province or the endless

months of verification, just a simple log-in and your vote. By now, you can see why this would scare the hell out of any politician. Robert Saint Amour Nanaimo

No buses where I want to go Editor: There are no buses going where I want to go. I think of myself as someone who prefers the middle of the political highway with an inclination for the righthand side of the centerline. The Gilles Duceppe bus, “La Phony Express,” only runs in Quebec, except when Gilles drives into Ottawa for free fuel. The Jack Layton bus, “The Everything for Everyone Special,” bumps along on the left shoulder, constantly stopping to let people on or off whether they paid for tickets or not. Jack claims to have the most socially comfortable seating, but the cost for the paying passengers is prohibitive. The Michael Ignatius bus, “Please Pick Me, Please,” swerves from one side of the road to the other because Michael is constantly checking the polls to see which direction he should be going. Then there is the Stephen Harper bus, “The My Way Flyer.” Stephen never has liked travelling along highways used by ordinary people. Currently his bus is motoring along in a field on my ultra-right, where he recently built his own toll highway with stimulus grants. If someone credible comes along driving a “Green” bus, I am ready to jump aboard. Lloyd Atkins Vernon

Editor: Aggregate mining is being planned in a high rainfall watershed area, which is one of the few places where healthy runs of all seven species of salmon come to spawn: in the area where the Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival is held annually and where white-coated mountain goats roam, herons nest in groves, the third largest population of over-wintering birds in North America, including trumpeter swans swim with the beaver, steelhead and cuthroat trout. Massive siltration and destruction is imminent. Randy Hawes a Liberal MLA and Minister of Mines is making enormous demand on the Harrison Mills area for gravel. Gravel extraction is planned from Deroche to Chehallis and onto Chilliwack. Hawes and the FVRD have designated a watershed and forest area a green zone. A green zone means that gravel can be extracted without concern for land, water, the environment or the 14,000 people who live in the area and whose wells will be contaminated and air quality polluted. It is not only the residents of the Harrison Mills area that will be affected but everyone living in the Fraser basin because the lungs on the mountains are being clear cut as I write. Smog levels are rising and so is asthma and cancer caused from breathing dust particles from aggregate plants and truck traffic increasing demands on our health industry. Take a drive along the Lougheed Highway and see for yourself the scalping of our mountains through beautiful bucolic scenery. Dr. Marvin Rosenau, former provincial government scientist states, “given the steep topography of the mine site, the massive area exposed, it is only a matter of time before such a project will irrevocably and negatively impact the watershed.” Please attend an FVRD APP public information meeting in Chilliwack on Oct. 14 at the FVRD boardroom.

Editor: There is a need for a fundamental change in the way voters have their say . . . just one. We’ll call it direct democracy. Every voter should have a PIN along with their voter card. It’s really that simple. This is an era of social networking, and as the father of three teenage daughters, I can assure you that if there is a message to get out, they get it out. Pronto. I have suggested in the past that all voting, initiatives and recalls be done electronically. After all, we transfer billions of dollars every day with ATMs, there is no logical reason not to vote the same way. I did say logical, and on that point the government and the people differ. Years ago, an NDP premier, criticized my approach, saying that I would have them paint the streets green. I answered by saying that if 50.1 per cent of the people voted for

Editor: Famed movie director James Cameron’s recent visit to Alberta to check out the oil sands was surprisingly thoughtful and uneventful. Unlike many celebrity activists, he seemed to have a grasp of the issues involved and he offered balanced and reasonable criticisms. However, what Cameron should have mentioned during his visit is that the under-use of renewable energy resources worldwide is a major reason why Alberta’s non-renewable oil sands are able to be developed so profitably. As we all know, Alberta became wealthy, debt-free and sales-tax-free in large part due to its non-renewable energy resources. And if the world began to rely more on renewable, green sources of energy and less on limited, non-renewable energy supplies, B.C. could very well surpass Alberta’s wealth and show the world that prosperity can be created by working with nature rather than against it.

Randy Merkley calls a Chilliwack Bruins game from his perch in the Prospera Centre press box.

It’s all in the details. Ever wonder how hockey play-by-play announcers can identify which player has the puck in a split-second, even if the skater’s number isn’t visible and all the players wear the same helmets? It turns out hard work, not x-ray vision, is the key to keeping up with the play. Take Chilliwack Bruins play-by-play guy Randy Merkley, for example. Me r k l e y s a y s h e c a n i d e n t i f y a n y Bruin—and many opposing players—just by watching just the lower halves of their bodies; indeed even the skates can identify a player. Asked by the Times what Bruins sniper Ryan Howse’s skates look like, Merkley responds in a flash: “He wears his tongues out,” meaning that the tongues are not tucked underneath the shin pads. For bonus points he notes that Kevin Sundher wears his skates the same way. Merkley is less familiar with opponents, so heavy-duty homework is required. The night before a game, Merkley will write out the opponent’s entire roster along with personal notes. He’ll also watch video of past games with an eye on any distinguishing

characteristic. “I try to key on the kind of style they have,” he says. “Their skates or their stick or how they wear their helmet; I just know certain players, what kind of sticks they use, how they tape their stick, how they wear their skates.” The following morning, Merkley heads to the rink early to try and catch the teams’ game day-skates. He’ll watch the players in action and maybe use the opportunity to talk with the coaches and maybe a player or two for that night’s broadcast. All that preparation wouldn’t be of much use if Merkley—who is also 89.5 The Hawk’s sports director—didn’t already know the game inside-out. Merkley, who took over play-by-play duties for the Bruins in 2008, has been calling hockey for some 10 years. But his history in junior hockey goes back further, to playing days as a goaltender in the British Columbia Hockey League. “I guess I had the best seat in the house,” he said. That hockey experience informs how he sees and calls the game. The evening of a game, Merkley will show up at the rink around 4 p.m. carting all his broadcast material. He’ll hit the media room, grab the notes prepared for that game, and get his house in order at his birds’-eye spot at the top of the Prospera Centre press box. Around 5 p.m., Merkley returns to the bowels of the arena. If the visiting team didn’t skate that morning, he’ll record a couple interviews for that evening’s pre-game show before returning to the media room to wait for the night’s scratches and chat with the opponents’ broadcast crew. Despite all those interviews and informal chats, Merkley says he avoids talking too much before a broadcast. Then, before he See MERKLEY, page 12

Randy Merkley says doing playby-play requires warm-up just like doing a sport.

Love of the game, passion for the job MERKLEY, from page 11 goes on the air, he does a series of warmup exercises to get his vocal chords gameready. “It’s like any other muscle, maybe people don’t really think that, but it’s no different than jogging,” he says. “You can’t just go out and jog and expect your hamstrings and calves not to hurt.” Fifteen minutes before game time, Merkley hits the air launching into the pre-game show, in which those interviews recorded earlier in the day are played. Once the game is under way, Merkley says “I call the game as I see it.” He’ll try to be

objective, and won’t sugar coat a good play made by the opponents, but says he will never criticize a Bruins player—”I’m not the coach,” he says. Merkley says there is a natural rhythm between him and colour commentator Jacob Bestebroer, “We just really feed off each other really well; he just knows when to jump in.” Occasionally Bestebroer will get a signal to keep talking while Merkley takes a drink of water “but for the most part he has pretty good intuition of when to jump in.” Merkley says he doesn’t get nervous before a broadcast. There is more a sense of excitement, for both the game, and his job. “I love doing my job. I’m passionate about it. To me it doesn’t even feel like a job,” he says. “I love junior hockey and I love working with kids.”

Former Chilliwack Chief Brent Seal gave the commencement address this year at SFU. Seal dealt with mental illness in his past but has risen above and completed a business degree.

Moving beyond mental illness BY IAN AUSTIN The Province

or years he had the toughest job in all of sport—stopping pucks as a goalie for the Chilliwack Chiefs. But Brent Seal faced up to his biggest battle when mental illness struck him down. Seal not only overcame his demons, he finished a business degree and set up a non-profit society to help others. And on Friday, Seal shared his message of overcoming adversity with hundreds of students through a valedictory address at the Simon Fraser University convocation. Seal had a fairly typical teenage life as an overachieving athlete. “Sports were my life—hockey, soccer, baseball, water-skiing, snowboarding,” said Seal, who made a name for himself as an elite hockey goalie for the Chiefs. “I was hoping for a hockey scholarship, but when I didn’t get that I moved to Whistler for a couple of years.

“But after making $8 an hour for two Seal enrolled in his medical health years, I decided I wanted to get on with authority’s early psychosis intervention program and slowly made a recovery. my life.” Rather than feel sorry for himself, Getting on with his life involved getting caught up in the ultracompetitive Seal set up Students for Mental Welluniversity life—and managing a stress ness—sfmw.ca—a group to help others load that made him progressively sick- that’s a first in Canada and is now adding chapters at other er. “It was going from “I had a mental break- institutions. “We’ve taken these party mode to comdown—I had to drop negative experiences peting with really and tried to turn them smart students. three of my four into positive ones,” he “I was trying hard classes, and move said. “One of the bigto integrate socially, gest things is acknowlprepare for business back home.” edging to yourself, ‘I’ve competitions, and complete my assignBrent Seal got to do something about it.’ ments,” the person“You’re not sure how able 26-year-old said others are going to at SFU’s Surrey camreact, but they’ve been extremely suppus. “I had a mental breakdown—I had portive.” An overachiever, Seal is learning not to drop three of my four classes, and to overcommit—“learning to say no is move back home. “I couldn’t read a newspaper, I key”—and to use some common sense rules—get enough sleep, eat healthily couldn’t drive a car.” After a diagnosis of schizophrenia, and get some exercise.

Estimated Annual Heating Costs (Savings) for a typical 2,500 sq. ft. house. In Vancouver, a 2,500 sq. ft. house with a gas furnace and a COP of 0.85 would spend approximately $1,378 in heating bills in one year. If this same house were equipped with a standard electric heater, one year of heating could cost you an enormous $2,967. Zuba-Central, on the other hand, would only cost about $904. Even though Zuba-Central also uses electricity, it is staggering how much more efﬁcient it actually is. This means you would save $474, or 34%, a year on energy costs over a gas furnace, and $2,063, or 70%, over electric heaters. That’s a potential savings of almost $20,000 in your pocket over 10 years.
