Screech owls to get a helping hand The Progress Some environmentally conscious students at Vedder middle school are getting a crash course on the endangered Western Screech-Owl, as they launch a project to build nest boxes for them at Island 22. FVRD Parks resource technician Gord Gadsden gave a fact-filled talk Wednesday to the school’s environment group called the Eco Maniacs, coordinated by teacher Steve Cecchi.

“This project is going to be great for the owls and great for the school,” Gadsden said. “It is very encouraging to see young people with that level of interest and dedication to nature.” The screech-owl is only about the size of a large coffee mug, if it had a head, wings and legs, that is. They are still found across the Fraser Valley, including Chilliwack. “Unfortunately, their numbers have been dropping over the years, due in part to habitat loss and the spread of larger owl species,” said Gadsden.

The red-listed western screech-owl was designated endangered in 2002, by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. A five-year recovery plan was launched in 2008, including the goal of securing more nesting habitat at priority sites with good foraging nearby. The yellow-eyed owls seek out tree cavities in large, old trees to nest in, but they will also inhabit human-constructed bird houses, like the ones at Island 22 in recent years. One way the students can

have a real impact is by building nest boxes in which they’ll raise their young, and use as roosts during the non-breeding season, Gadsden told the kids. “We’re hoping we can provide more nesting opportunities.” The VMS students will be building the boxes in the school’s woodworking shop in the coming weeks. “They’ll also get a chance to learn a little about the bird to supplement their learning and appreciation for nature and the environment,” he said. jfeinberg@theprogress.com

An offer to purchase a property for a health contact centre in Chilliwack has been inked by the province, according to a source at BC Housing. Project proponents, including partners like Pacific Community Resources Society, have been hammering away at the housing proposal for years, trying to establish a contact centre for the city’s homeless and addicted. Subject removal is expected by Feb. 28 with a tentative closing date of March 31, and the location will be announced once those milestones are achieved. “A rezoning would be required and PCRS will be completing an application to the City,” said the BC Housing rep in an email to The Progress. “We anticipate city council may consider rezoning in March.” Once the purchasing details and rezoning applications are approved, a process to identify capital funding for renovations and operating funds will begin. “It is anticipated the centre could house up to approximately 34 people, and PCRS and other service providers are planning to offer a range of health support services at the centre, however it is early in the process and details on the type of housing and supports still need to be developed.” About 100 people in the Chilliwack community are thought to be homeless on a long-term basis, while service providers estimate there are another 200 in various stages of homelessness. Project advocates thought they had found a suitable location downtown last year for transitional and emergency housing in a contact centre, but the Traders Inn property on Yale Road was sold to another buyer before an offer could be made. This offer to purchase a new Chilliwack property, near downtown, has been accepted by the seller, but the subject conditions still have to be removed.

‘Enhanced monitoring’ required at gravel pit Robert Freeman The Progress The “enhanced monitoring” at a gravel pit operating on Vedder Mountain will include monthly audits and increased inspections, a ministry spokesman said late Thursday. While gravel removal is monitored by the company operating the site, a third party will now audit the books and check volumes by on-site surveys, the spokesman

said. There will also be “increased inspection frequency” at the gravel pit operated by Kirkness Pacific Holdings. A stop work order was issued Jan. 10 after a citizen’s group informed the B.C. Mines Ministry about the company exceeding its permitted level of gravel removal, based on information it obtained through freedom of information requests made to the City of Chilliwack. The company apparently

exceeded its permit in 2007, 2008 and part of 2010, according to the City records. City officials refused to release records for 2009, based on business confidentiality. The Vedder Mountain Preservation Group charged the gravel pit owner had increased production to increase truck traffic on Cultus Lake Road to justify a proposal now before the ministry to build a conveyor system to haul gravel down the mountain. But pit owner Brian Kirkness

said the gravel was removed to meet two unusually large contracts for the Evans Road project and the Eagle Landing shopping mall development. He also said he was “surprised” by the stop work order because the ministry was informed about the amount of gravel being removed in the company’s monthly declarations and regular on-site inspections. The stop work order was lifted after the company agreed to the

enhanced monitoring. The citizen’s group is opposed to the proposed conveyor system, which it says will affect nearby residents and displace, rather than reduce, truck traffic from Cultus Lake Road to Vedder Mountain Road. The City plays no role in monitoring gravel mines, but is paid a fee based on the amounts reported by the mine operators. rfreeman@theprogress.com

Target could be eying Chilliwack Jennifer Feinberg The Progress It’s not clear if the Chilliwack Zellers is destined to become a Target store or not. After media inquiries about the local department store started arriving at city hall last week, city officials contacted Target reps requesting any details they could release

about their plans. “Unfortunately, it’s not yet clear which current Zellers locations will eventually become Target stores,” said Target rep Matt Zabel in an emailed reply. Target is buying the leasehold rights of up to 220 of the 272 or so Zellers locations across Canada. “Of those 220 current Zellers locations that Target will acquire (we don’t know which ones yet), Target expects to open approximately

100 to 150 new Target stores.” It is “just too early in the process” to know yet which locations will end up transformed into a Target store, another retailer, or continue under the Zellers banner, he said. Target Corp. signed a $1.8 billion deal on Jan. 13 to buy Zellers Inc. from Hudson’s Bay Company, and the first Target stores in Canada will open in 2013. jfeinberg@theprogress.com

Store status still in question

A slumped section of Promontory Road will be re-opened to traffic every evening this week while emergency road repair is underway. City officials decided Thursday that alternating single-lane traffic will be in effect after 4:30 p.m. on the temporary gravel roadway between Sylvan and Extrom Roads. Motorists are asked to use caution and drive slowly through the area. The 70- to 80-metre section of damaged road at the top of the hill will be closed to all traffic for construction between the hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. until Jan. 28, said officials. Some Ryder Lake residents who are now forced to detour around the site in the daylight hours told The Progress they are a little frustrated with the inconvenience. A six- to eight-inch slump caused by “deep soil failure” took out a chunk of the roadway on Monday morning. The section they have to fix cracked along the painted line. Everyone who lives on either Extrom Road or Thornton Road is affected if they use Promontory Road. That accounts for at least 30 households, and maybe 100 people in all are impacted by the daily detours. On Jan. 17, an equipment operator from Strohmaier’s Excavating was hired to get the road repair underway, and the city commissioned geotechnical engineering firm, Levelton Consultants, to get to the bottom of the road failure incident. Drilling tests by the geotechs confirmed the slump was caused by “deep soil failure” which could not have been caused or prevented by any road work done at the surface.

Future Shop – Correction Notice

Liberal candidates call for changes to Foundation Skills Assessment tests Tom Fletcher Black Press Two B.C. Liberal leadership candidates have called for changes to province-wide testing for elementary school children, after the head of the B.C. Principals’ and Vice Principals’ Association joined the B.C. Teachers’ Federation in rejecting the current test program. Foundation Skills Assessment (FSA) tests are currently being administered across the province to grade four and seven students, to measure reading, writing and number skills. The BCTF has fought against the tests for years, with teachers refusing to mark them and lobbying parents to exclude their children. Shuswap MLA George Abbott, who was briefly education minister before running to succeed

Premier Gordon Campbell, said skills assessment tests are important. He suggested the testing regime could be modified to make it work better. “There is not an appropriate alternative to it at this point, but I do think that there is much merit in exploring how we could either supplement or improve FSA testing, to ensure that parents get the best possible understanding of how well their children are progressing,” Abbott said in an interview. He stopped short of calling for the FSA tests to be scrapped and replaced with new tests, as leadership rival and former advanced education minister Moira Stilwell suggested last week. “It seems clear to me that FSA is no longer the appropriate test,” Stilwell said. Jameel Aziz, president of

the B.C. Principals’ and VicePrincipals’ Association, issued a statement last week that said the FSA has too much “political baggage.” Aziz said the problem is not flaws in the tests, but the time spent by administrators responding to questions from parents who get conflicting messages from the ministry and teachers. This results in students either not taking the tests, or not trying as hard as they should. Aziz also objected to the use of FSA test results by the Fraser Institute to rank schools, which he called a “misuse” of the data. Education Minister Margaret MacDiarmid sent a letter to parents when the test period began, advising them the tests are mandatory. MacDiarmid likened the tests to routine medical checkups for children.

R AESIDE

Tough questions for RCMP If nothing else, former solicitor general and MLA Kash Heed deserves credit for drawing attention to the current negotiations between the provincial government and the RCMP for a new 20-year contract. Heed alleges that a police probe into his own conduct as MLA is an attempt at character assassination at a crucial time in the RCMP’s history. Heed has been calling for more accountability for the RCMP and for that he may have made a few enemies on the force. But it’s unlikely that the releasing of information in a warrant and charges related to alleged misuse of MLA funds to pay salaries of political operatives was merely an attempt to make Heed look bad and win public favour. As a career police officer and former solicitor-general, Heed has experience to back up his assertions that the RCMP needs to do a better job policing itself. But his voice is just one among many calling for greater accountability after the handling of the missing women’s case, which a recent report suggested was mishandled by Mounties and some women’s deaths could have been avoided; the death of Robert Dziekanski; and recent stories of rogue police officers misusing their power. In light of these stories, it would be a surprise if the new contract failed to reflect the need to restore public confidence. But these negotiations are being held behind closed doors and the public has no idea whether changes are being contemplated. The plain truth of the matter is the RCMP needs to win back the public trust and to prove it does a better job than would a B.C. regional police force. The RCMP has great experience and resources to offer, and the success of the regional Integrated Gang Task Force and the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team have proven the Mounties can work effectively with other police agencies. As for Heed, he should continue to ask for more police accountability but remain silent when it comes to his own affairs. – The Tri-City News (Black Press)

Some food for thought on global food supplies According to a recent report, if we stay on the business-as-usual pathway, by 2020 the amount of global food production won’t be enough to feed the world’s people. The report entitled The Food Gap was produced by the Universal Ecological Fund (Fundacion Ecologica Universal FEU-US), a non-profit organization focused on sustainable development founded in Buenos Aires with subsidiary offices in Virginia, U.S.A. It based its conclusions on the economic and social impacts of climate change and all the interconnected relationships between weather extremes and resources, development, technological advances and financial stability. Last year, wheat futures prices rose 47 per cent driven by the drought in Russia and the Black Sea region, U.S. corn futures rose 50 per cent and soybeans jumped

34 per cent. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), sugar and meat prices are the highest in 20 years. Tensions over food costs broke out in 2008 from Egypt to Haiti and more recently youth clashed with police in Algerian cities over food prices. Asian countries worry about Margaret food security problems and France’s EVANS President Nicholas Sarkozy, who has just taken over at the helm of the G20, has approached President Obama to support France’s goals to stabilize world food prices. The La Nina phomenon is blamed for the biblical floods in Australia which economists predict will cost the country billions in recovery.

Australia is a major global exporter of beef and sugar, much of it going to Asia, and the majority of these commodities are produced in Queensland where the flood costs will be at least around $600 million. La Nina has caused major flooding across a third of Sri lanka, destroying 21 per cent of the nation’s staple rice crop and sending chills through the people about food inflation or food scarcity. With worldwide adverse weather patterns, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization expect global food prices to reach their highest levels since records began in 1990. According to Liliana Hisas, executive director of FEU-US and author of the report, by 2020 the world will need a 13 per cent increase in food production to meet the demands of a growing

global population which currently stands at almost 6.9 billion and is expected to rise to between 7.5 billion and 10.5 billion by 2050. Even now, according to the UN World Food Program, 925 million people don’t have enough to eat. About 6.5 million children die every year from hunger-related diseases. Policy makers are having nightmares that rising food prices and loss of agricultural land will spark not just inflation but protectionism and unrest that could spiral out of control especially in poor nations. Countries in Africa and the Caribbean that depend on food exports could be hard hit and could force governments to impose export bans. If folks have to spend more on food, they’ll spend less on other commodities putting a dent in the global economic recovery. Hisas’ report echoes B.C. Food

Self Reliance Report done in 2007 which also supported sustainable agricultural development but which estimated that B.C. farmers produce only 48 per cent of all foods consumed in the province. That included essential staples such as dairy, meat, fruits, vegetables and grains. Just to maintain the current level of self-reliance to 2025, B.C. farmers will need to increase production by 30 per cent over 2001 levels. Imported foods will continue to put consumers at the mercy of trade wars, shortages and escalating production and transportation costs. Then there’s the carbon footprint costs that contributes to the impact to climate change, the extreme weather events and more land lost for food production. Globally food supplies are stressed but this problem could land locally on our doorstep.

Local efforts make a difference As the Christmas Season has come and gone and we are well on our way into the new year, many of our thoughts have returned to work and family. I am writing this letter to express my sincerest thanks to some of the people who made this past holiday season a little brighter for many of my clients. I am the coordinator of the HIV/AIDS Prevention Program operated through PCRS in Chilliwack. This past year, I had some truly wonderful citizens of Chilliwack come forth to provide support, warm clothing, bedding, bags of goodies and most of all show a sincere compassion to the people we all to often forget to include in our thoughts and prayers. For many of these wonderful souls it was not just at Christmas that they came out to help, rather it was and is a year round dedication. To Heartland Fellowship - Pastor Mike V. who gave me the opportunity to speak on

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Dangerous Livesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and for bringing awareness to his membership on the very real, very raw crisis in Chilliwack, to Betty H. for organizing the fellowship volunteers who came out at night in cold and dreary weather and handed out sandwiches and kind words. And of course to our â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;hot chocolateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ladies, Louise, Patty and Dorothy, who come out each week to lend their support. Through some privately sponsored events, I had the opportunity to speak on the subject of the Exploitation of our Youth, Harm Reduction and the subsequent tragedy which ensues once a person has been caught in the grips of addiction and sexual exploitation. From these public informational sessions I was fortunate to meet many amazing people who really and truly wanted to help to make a difference. One such person is Lorna L. who is a member of Chilliwack Evangelical Missionary Church. Thank you to their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Heart to

Thanks, Lorna for organizing the group and getting things moving, and to Pastor Glenn D., for putting out the newsletter to his membership and subsequently getting so many wonderful people on board. And last, but certainly not least to the students at A.D. Rundle middle school who did yet another wonderful job of making unique and special gifts for my clients. It is always amazing to see the transformation in peoples faces when they receive something with no strings attached, something provided to keep them warm and safe, to let them know that they are not forgotten. Thanks to each of you, you truly did make a difference.

From a young age, Brayden has always been interested in everything to do with finances. He became a client at Money Concepts in 2007 and experienced first-hand what having the right advisor could do for him and his family. The trust and success he built with his advisor created a burning desire for him to help others in the same way.

Special people delivering care I have a four-yearold that I take to the Landing Leisure centre for swim lessons on a regular basis. The pool is always full of moms and kids and more often than not, caregivers and young adults with special needs. I am absolutely blown away by the compassion, attention, and care of the care-

givers that are in the water with these young adults. Today I saw a young caregiver just sitting on the edge of the hot tub with her arm around a young girl just chatting and spending time with her. Every so often she would hug her a little closer. I saw a woman hoist a young man from one wheel chair to another â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he

must have weighed 150 lbs. My last few visits Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve met a man that is there with about eight young men, who when they all get out of the water, they look like a gang! I mentioned this to him and he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re right, if you mess with me, you mess with these guys!!â&#x20AC;? I now call them the posse. It just seems

Now part of the Money Concepts team, Brayden focuses on providing the same level of expertise that he experienced as a client. When working with Brayden, he will show you strategies that are easy to follow to protect your family, save money and increase your net worth.

that the only time we hear about these men and women that devote their time to caring for these young people is when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something horrible. Well, for all the parents and grandparents that have children with special needs, I hope they eventually encounter the people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen in action.

Bring on smart meters, variable rates Re: Hydro smart meters coming this year (online editions, Jan. 18). I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wait! Being in a new house in Kelowna I already have a smart meter installed and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d really like to take advantage of time-of-use pricing now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve recently moved from Ontario where I was already paying for electricity at time-of-use rates. Now I have electric heat and feel I could even better manage my consumption to avoid

peak load times and thus save myself some direct costs. I do hope, however, that timeof-use rates are set in such a way as to truly offset peak load costs and help make the whole system more efficient, thus keeping overall rates lower in the long term. There has to be a clear advantage to using off-peak power. Bending to the demands of large consumers who traditionally do make use of a lot of peak-

load power, as Ontario seems to have done so far, wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have the right effect, either long-term for everyone, or for smart consumers (big and small) who hope to immediately take full advantage of the potential savings. The potential savings in Ontario, so far, have been relatively small and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t seem to have convinced as many users to shift away from peak load times.

Family values was the political songbook B.C. Liberal leadership candidate Christy Clark was singing from as she campaigned in Chilliwack on Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m the only candidate talking about the family,â&#x20AC;? Clark said in a telephone interview before meeting party members at the Pantry restaurant. And itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a tune she believes will resonate with party members in Chilliwack - and with voters in general come the next provincial election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s anywhere people understand the value of the family, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in Chilliwack,â&#x20AC;? Clark said. And Chilliwackians have the political smarts to know the next provincial election will be no

easy win for the party tainted by the harmonized sales tax, she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People in Chilliwack do not want an NDP government,â&#x20AC;? Clark said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They understand how politics works. They want to win.â&#x20AC;? But in the next election her fellow leadership candidates, all sitting MLAs, will have â&#x20AC;&#x153;serious credibility issues when it comes to the HST,â&#x20AC;? she said. Clark would lead the party into an election untainted by the HST. A former Port Moody MLA and B.C. education minister, Clark has most recently been working as a radio talk show host and wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t part of the B.C. Liberal government when the decision was made to introduce the HST without consulting the public before or during the last provincial election. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t there,â&#x20AC;? Clark said in the Thursday interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I actually have spent the past four and a half years listening to British Columbians on CKNW.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The way the government brought (the HST) in was just plain wrong,â&#x20AC;? she declared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They had an obligation to discuss it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think it reflects a listening problem.â&#x20AC;? Clark suggested her government, if she wins the leadership vote Feb. 26, will have no such problem - and will consider â&#x20AC;&#x153;families firstâ&#x20AC;? before any legislation is enacted. Clark would also increase government funding for community volunteer groups, another issue close to Chilliwack residents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time we look at taking the work that has been done and raising it to the next level,â&#x20AC;? Clark said in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engage non-profits, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s engage British Columbians and find a way to build a non-profit and public partnership that strengthens communities.â&#x20AC;? Clark is the second leadership candidate to visit Chilliwack. SurreyCloverdale MLA Kevin Falcon, who is backed by Chilliwack MLA John Les, was the first. rfreeman@theprogress.com

Kwin Atleo got this medal after he went to donate money to a school in Chile that was damaged last year by an earthquake. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Youth’s efforts to help Chile continue Katie Bartel The Progress Kwin Atleo is not done helping Chile. Last year the 10-year-old, whose mom was born in Chile, pushed forward a coin drive to help the earthquake- and tsunami-stricken country. He raised $1,600, to which his parents matched for a total of $3,200. It doesn’t stop there though, Kwin said. The country still needs help. Chile was hit by an 8.8 magnitude earthquake on Feb. 27 last year. It was the fifth largest earthquake to take place in the world since 1900. It happened just months after Kwin’s first visit to the country where many of his extended family still reside. And even though the kid had barely mastered his times tables, he knew an earthquake of that magnitude was not something to be ignored. More than two dozen aftershocks ensued, as did tsunami waves. Hundreds of people were left dead; more than a million were displaced from their homes. Buildings were torn apart, streets were filled with rubble, windows shattered, bridges crumbled.

And now, one year later, houses are still unfixed, many are unsafe to live in, and several Chileans are without jobs. “It’s really sad,” said Kwin. When Kwin started the coin drive, he initially thought it was his family he needed to help, but soon learned that wasn’t the case. His family lives approximately three-hours from Santiago, the capital of Chile. They suffered scrapes and bruises, and some broken dishes, that was it. “But it was the people living in the south that really desperately needed our help,” said Kwin. “The Mapuche.” The people of the earth. From Dec. 1 to Jan. 4, Kwin and his family returned to Chile. After Christmas they drove to the south, 10 hours to Concepcion, a city they knew had been devastated through news reports. When they arrived, they were directed to Arauco, a city further south that had experienced the strongest shakes. The mayor of Arauco was so taken aback by Kwin’s moxie, he awarded him a medal of honour. “They couldn’t believe a boy started this,” said Kwin’s mom Lorena, a proud smile on her face.

The mayor, however, would not accept Kwin’s donation. Arauco didn’t need the funds as much as Yani did. Yani is a small, mountainous community located in a remote area along the coastline. Approximately 100 families live there; nearly every one of them was put out of work because of the effects of the tsunami. The natives work off the land, most collecting seaweed and algae for wages. But when the tsunami washed over the community, it changed the landscape. It raised the land above the water’s surface – killing almost all algae and seaweed. “These people are out of work for at least two years until the algae and seaweed come back,” said Lorena. “That is their main source of income.” Yani has not received any government funding. “They were not just affected by the damage, they were affected by unemployment,” said Lorena. “And it’s disturbing because they are not getting any help.” Kwin donated the money to the local two-room school that was struggling to stay open with limited school supplies and lacking funds. The donation will go towards text-

books, reading books, pens and other needed school supplies. “I have textbooks and a gym and a library in my school, but all they have is a classroom and a cafeteria,” said Kwin. “They just have paper and pens, and they listen to their teacher. They don’t have a math textbook, nothing like that. “It really made me grateful for what I have.” One mom told Kwin that because of him she knew her children would get a better education. The Atleos spent two days in Yani, touring the community, meeting the locals, experiencing the culture and cuisine. They plan to go back. “For two weeks next time,” said Kwin. The Atleos are starting a letter-writing campaign, sending pleas for help to the president of Chile, Chilliwack MLAs and anyone else who may be able to help these forgotten people. “These people are still fighting the effects of the earthquake,” said Lorena. “We’re not finished helping them.” kbartel@theprogress.com

Gary Moran, Fantasy Farms

THE INSURANCE MARKET (SARDIS)

I have lived in BC all of my 50 plus years and in Chilliwack since 1989. In 1992 my family and I purchased Cheam Green Houses. After the ďŹ rst year of operating I knew agriculture with all of its diversiďŹ cations was where I wanted to spend the rest of my working life. We changed the name of the company to Fantasy Farms in 2000 to coincide with our plan to make it an agritainment destination; which includes our fall program, the haunted attraction and pumpkin patch. These two attractions have grown so popular over the past years that thousands of visitors come from all over the lower mainland, some even as far as Portland, Oregon.

One of many additions to the farm this year is the Garlic Festival on September 17th & 18th. I am co-owner and organizer of the Yard, Garden and Renovation Show with my wife Lisa Moran and Sue Andrews. At the end of March will be our 9th year running. This show is currently the premier spring show in the Fraser Valley. I believe in giving back to the community that supports our businesses by volunteering with a number of organizations. To name a few; Big Brothers Big Sisters, Chilliwack Schools garden program, Rotary, Ag Commission, Community Futures and the Chilliwack Chamber of Commerce.

CHILLIWACK BRUINS PROGRESS MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORT REPORT

Eric J. Welsh,

son injured was a big blow,” McKinlay concurred. “I think it took a little time to get back, but I’ve been feeling pretty good since the Moose Jaw game (Dec. 31).” McKinlay’s comeback was as much mental as physical. The winger was the victim of a knee-on-knee collision with Kelowna Rockets defenceman Mitchell Chapman, a hit that earned Chapman a five minute major and a league suspension. In nine games to that point, McKinlay had struggled, generating no goals and just three assists. “When it first happened, it was only supposed to be a week or so and we didn’t know it (knee ligament) was torn,” McKinlay explained. “It was definitely tough to hear. When you can’t play a sport that you love, it sucks, especially when you’re watching the boys battle and you want to be out there to help them.” But McKinlay happens to be a silver lining sort of guy, and he says there was one good thing to come from a layoff that ended up spanning 17 games.

The Progress

Dylen McKinlay has endured a trying season to date, but things are turning around of late. ERIC WELSH/ PROGRESS

By any measuring stick you care to use, this has been a tough season for Chilliwack Bruins for ward Dylen McKinlay. From the get-go, the 201011 campaign has been derailed by injuries and inconsistency — his subpar stats tell the story with just four goals and 13 points scored in 27 games. Not the numbers McKinlay thought he’d have after being taken by the Minnesota Wild in last summer’s National Hockey League entry draft. But the light at the end of the tunnel may be shining through as we hit the backstretch of the Western Hockey League season. Since New Year’s Eve, McKinlay has started to more closely resemble the guy who skated for the Bruins last year — a fast and aggressive player who tallied 20 goals and 42 points in 72 games as a 17-year-old. “I haven’t really ever been injured, so starting off the sea-

“It was kind of a blessing in disguise because I’m a smaller guy (listed at six feet and a sleight 162 pounds), and it gave me an opportunity to work out my upper body and try to get bigger and stronger before coming back,” he said. “I think it helped a bit because I feel better out there than I did before.” The Bruins will need McKinlay at his biggest and best moving forward. The team is likely to be without Ryan Howse and Roman Horak next season, with both 20 years old and eligible to graduate to the pro ranks. Robin Soudek will be a big question mark, as most teams don’t prefer using up a 20-year-old and Euro spot on one player. McKinlay, Jamie Crooks, Steven Hodges, Brandon Magee and Kevin Sundher, could be the nucleus of the 2011-12 offence. “When you’re having a tough season, sometimes it just takes one goal to get things going,” McKinlay said. “I think I’m close to getting into a rhythym, and hopefully it happens soon.”

CHILLIWACK BRUINS PROGRESS MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORT REPORT

Hard-working Gogol an unsung hero Eric J. Welsh, The Progress

Curt Gogol (left) was a thorn in the side of the Chilliwack Bruins when he skated with the Kelowna Rockets. Now that he’s part of the home team, he is a valued player and leader in the dressing room. FRED SCHAAD/ BLACK PRESS

hands were hurting so bad I felt like crying. And I learned the hard way, because I don’t think I won my first eight fights. It’s a learning curve, and in Pearson’s case I think he learned too late.” If fighting has its dark side it also has its purpose, and a veteran like Gogol knows when and where to drop the mitts. How about a Nov. 26 home game versus mighty Portland? The Winter Hawks are a skilled team, loaded top to

bottom with National Hockey League prospects. They’re also a big team, one that can beat teams with size as easily as they beat them with skill. Gogol didn’t pick up any goals or assists in Chilliwack’s 7-2 win, but he likely had the play of the game when he challenged Tayler Jordan to a scrap 2:17 in. “Jordan’s a guy I respect because I can ask him to fight at any time in the game and he’s willing to go,” Gogol explained. “We were in a bit

of a losing streak there, and I wanted to show the guys that I was willing to fight a bigger guy for the team.” Gogol (listed at six-foot-one and 188 pounds) looked almost comical taking on Jordan (sixfoot-six and 203 pounds). But the 19-year-old Calgary native hung in there. He could barely reach Jordan’s face with his fists, so he settled for landing a dozen or so body blows. In the process, he made the rest of his teammates play a few inches taller. “We’ve got a lot of skilled

guys on this team, and other teams were coming in here before I arrived and taking advantage of guys like (Ryan) Howse, (Roman) Horak and (Brandon) Manning,” Gogol said. “Those are guys you want on the ice, and not in the penalty box. So there was a need for me here, to take care of the guys who run around and try to intimidate. And I hope the guys played a little bigger after that fight.” Bruins head coach Marc Habscheid often talks about players needing to define

Curt Gogol has never rewatched the fight, and doesn’t really want to. Not knowing what he knows now. Not knowing that what he did on Dec. 17 probably ended another player’s career. Not that it was Gogol’s fault. Certainly not. Edmonton’s Jesse Pearson was chirping at him all through the pre-game warmup, and when Gogol jumped onto the ice for his first shift, Pearson got the green light from Oil Kings coach Derek Laxdal. “We were short on D and I kept saying no to a fight, but he kept begging me and begging me,” Gogol recalled. “Finally I had enough of it. I switched up on him, going from rights to lefts and he really had no chance. I got lucky, caught him on the button and knocked him out.” One of the most one-sided bouts in recent memory can be found online at YouTube (search Gogol vs Pearson). Gogol didn’t know about Pearson’s concussion history at the time, but he has since heard that Pearson’s playing days are likely done. A regrettable, but not entirely unexpected, result for a player who lived by the fist. “There’s guys who come in and that’s what they’ve got to do to stay in the lineup,” Gogol said. “He had to do that, and he was inexperienced at it. You’ve got to work your way up and not just throw yourself into the heavyweight category and expect to do well.” Gogol has always had enough in his tool-box to not be that guy, although teams have tried to type-cast him that way. “In Kelowna (2007-09) I found there was no one else doing that, so I had to do it every game,” he admitted. “I ended up doing it every game, to the point where my

themselves — to know what they are as hockey players. Gogol has a good handle on what he is and what he needs to do. He bristles at the idea that he is merely a fighter, knowing he has a lot more to offer. After arriving from Saskatoon in a trade for 18-year-old forward Chris Collins, Gogol logged minutes on defence for a Bruins team that was running short on blueliners. Prior to suffering a shoulder injury in Prince George Dec. 29, he had become a key penalty killer. He also saw time in front of the net on the power play. Gogol had three goals in 20 games with the Bruins, the same total he had in 122 games split between Saskatoon (200911) and Kelowna (2007-09). “My first year in Kelowna, I asked for a trade out of there because my role was limited to just fighting,” he said. “I wanted more, and I got it in Saskatoon. I was a penalty killer with the Blades, and coming to Chilliwack was a dream come true because Marc, Pat (assistant coach Conacher) and Enio (assist coach Sacilotto) expanded my role even more. I’ve played with Howse and Horak on the first line, and playing with guys like that gives me the opportunity to put the puck in the net more.” A signed prospect of the National Hockey League’s San Jose Sharks, Gogol would love to be playing minor pro hockey next year. But as Habscheid continues to try and build a culture of hard work and accountability with the Bruins, a player like Gogol could be invaluable if he comes back as a 20-year-old. “I’ve always been a captain or assistant captain, but even if I don’t have a letter I’ll do my thing,” he said. “I’ll be a leader on the ice and a vocal guy in the room, and if I’m back next year I’ll certainly embrace that role.”

fan one Hrynyk’s quiet impact on Bruins blueline CHILLIWACK BRUINS PROGRESS MONTHLY PROGRESS REPORT REPORT

Eric J. Welsh, The Progress There is a place in Penticton where Emerson Hrynyk can stand on the bluff of a cliff and look out at the picturesque scene that is Skaha Lake. From eighty-five feet up, the view is tremendous — blue water below, surrounded by arid desert hills — the type of thing great post-cards are made of. Ah, but Hrynuk doesn’t stand 85 feet up a mountainside because he likes the scenery. He stands there because it is the perfect place to jump, to get clearance from the cliff-face as he hurtles down into the water below. To the curious on-looker, Hrynyk’s descent might look like fool-hardy madness. Even his own mother can’t stand to think about her baby boy falling like a rock into the frigid depths. “My mom was totally against it until I assured her there were no rocks down there (verified with a swim beforehand),” the Chilliwack Bruins defenceman said. “The highest is 110 feet, but I don’t want to do that one. It’s pretty high and I have my limits.” For Hrynyk, the experience is an unmatched feeling, a compelling mixture of fear, anticipation and adrenaline. “It doesn’t look that tall when you’re up there, but when you’re in the water afterwards, looking up at it it’s like, ‘Whoa! I just did that?’” he said with a smile. “Once you do it, you want to keep going and keep going. I just love the feeling of falling.” There may be no rocks in the lake, but the 18-year-old blueliner has been a rock on defence for Chilliwack this season. Hrynyk has been unnoticeable, and that’s a good thing for a player whose primary task is to keep things tidy in

Rushing with the puck isn’t Emerson Hrynyk’s forte, but the 18-year-old has proven adept at getting the puck out of trouble. JENNA HAUCK FILE PHOTO

the Bruins end of the ice. Every one in a while a fire drill will break out around the Chilliwack net, with Bruins running here, there and everywere frantically trying to get the puck out of their zone. Rarely do you see No. 4 involved. Hrynyk seems to excel at those little passes and chips up the boards that get the puck out of danger, and he appears to have a certain calmness when things get hectic. “I try to make the simple plays and passes,” he said. “Pucks in and pucks out. Get to the red line and get the puck in deep.” Not always easy in the Western Hockey League, where the forecheckers are fast and systems are set up to

thwart the best of intentions. “A lot of times, you’re making that pass knowing you’re going to get hammered afterwards,” Hrynyk conceded. “You’ve got to take a lot of hits to make plays. It doesn’t bother me though. The fighting and the hitting, it’s all part of hockey and that’s why you play the game.” Measures of success are easy for forwards, and for offensive-minded defencemen. Goals and assists set the bar. Hrynyk doesn’t have a goal this season, and he only has two in a major junior career spanning 72 games to date. If he judged himself on offensive output, he’d be one depressed D-man. “My D partner Jesse (Zgraggen) got one last week, and I was looking across the

ice at him thinking, ‘Geez. This rookie’s beating me in goals,’” Hrynyk laughed. “It would be nice to get one, to get that one off my back. But I was never a big gun at any level, so it doesn’t bother me much.” Born in Edmonton (he confesses to being an Oilers fan) but raised in Penticton, Hrynyk grew up watching junior A hockey in historic Memorial Arena, fostering dreams of becoming a BCHL Panther/Vee. Big, but slow and awkward on his skates, he was bypassed in the WHL bantam draft, and ended up playing a year of junior B in the KIJHL. Last year, a vastly improved player showed up at training camp and played his way onto the Prince Albert

Raiders, where he suited up for 42 regular season games. Earlier this year, he was traded to Chilliwack in return for 17-year-old goaltender Cole Holowenko, giving him a chance to compare career trajectories with someone who has followed a remarkably similar path. 20-year-old veteran Jeff Einhorn showed up for Chilliwack’s training camp at the start of the 2007-08 season, surprised everyone by making the team as an undrafted walk-on, and now stands as the franchise’s alltime leader in games played (241). Every shift in the WHL is a chance for Einhorn and Hrynyk to show they belong. “I definitely take extra pride being where I am,” Hrynyk agreed. “A lot of work got

me here. I think I wanted it really bad and I was willing to do whatever it took to get on the ice. I play with a chip on my shoulder out there, and I think a lot of undrafted guys are the same.” Hrynyk’s on-ice goals are modest enough. He wants to get that one goal out of the way. He also wants to make sure he finishes the season on the right side of the plusminus ledger. If those two things occur and the Bruins have some regular and post-season success, he’ll be a happy camper. “I want to keep building, keep building and getting better every shift and every game,” he said. “I would love to play top-four, and stay a plus for the rest of the year.”

basically had to settle for wood flooring that was solid oak strips at 2.25 inches wide. The strips were nailed in place by a carpenter and finished on site. Now, more than half of hardwood is fabricated and prefinished at a factory and is much easier to install -- even by the homeowner himself. The range of styles and colors is also very extensive. Planks can be chosen in thin strips or wider options. Native hardwoods are available, as are offshore woods from different countries. Finishes can also be customized with higher gloss or matte choices. For homeowners interested in going green, hardwood flooring also presents many options. A growing trend is using reclaimed wood that is recycled and then refinished into new items. Lumber may be reclaimed from old buildings, railroads, barns, homes, and even river bottoms. The varied history of the wood adds to its aesthetic appeal. It’s important for homeowners to know that the price point for hardwood will vary depending on species and finish. However, the way the boards are cut will also be a consideration for homeowners. Plainsawn or flatsawn boards have growth rings that run at anywhere from 0 to 45-degree angles

to the wide surfaces of the board, with lots of loops and swirls. Quartersawn boards have rings that run from 45to 90-angles and are not as lively in pattern. Quartersawn boards will expand in thickness depending on moisture and temperature. Plainsawn will shrink and swell widthwise. Quartersawn tend to take wear better and more evenly, contributing to their typically more expnesive price tag. Create your dream home ... our exhibitors will make it easy!

Homeowners can also choose among engineered wood products, which are essentially several layers of wood veneer adhered to a solid backing of plywood and sealed. This layered construction can make engineered flooring more stable and durable than traditional hardwood flooring. That means it can be used in rooms where hardwood was long frowned upon, like basements and bathrooms. Wood flooring will continue to garner mass appeal and be the preference of many homeowners. With new innovations and availability, there are more options than ever for discerning homeowners. Be sure to check out all the great flooring solutions at this weekend’s Home, Leisure and Outdoor Living Show.

Masik now aims to bring the controversial art show to a national stage, likely in Ottawa. Not all families of Pickton’s victims opposed the exhibition in

Vancouver. Ernie Crey, brother of murder victim Dawn Crey, said he would “dearly like” to see the portrait of his sister and said he shares Masik’s

disappointment and frustration. “It seems some folks think they can speak for each and every family of the murdered and missing women.”

An artist who painted large portraits of 69 Vancouver murdered and missing women says she will seek a new venue to show them after the UBC Museum of Anthropology cancelled the exhibition. Pamela Masik’s oil painting series The Forgotten was slated to open next month but was criticized by aboriginal women’s groups who found it hurtful or exploitive. The paintings include several of the known victims of serial killer Robert Pickton. “It saddens me as I see this as society’s continuing refusal to acknowledge what happened to these women,” Masik said in a statement. “I saw my role as an artist to bear witness to the 69 women who were marginalized, went missing and many, ultimately murdered, not by the hands of a serial killer but by our society viewing these women as inconsequential,” she said. “How is not showing these paintings going to help us confront the real issues of these marginalized women who are still going missing to this day all across Canada?”

Howse sits at top of Bruins record book

PUCK PREVIEW

Eric J. Welsh, The Progress

It’s hard to remember how he got from there to here. How Ryan Howse got from fresh-faced newbie to grizzled veteran and all-time Chilliwack Bruins point leader. As much as seasons seem to drag on, time truly flies in the Western Hockey League. And here we are. Howse is probably 26 regular season games (plus playoffs) away from leaving Chilliwack to begin his professional hockey career. He surpassed Oscar Moller as the all-time franchise leader in goals last year, and moved past Mark Santorelli on the points list last week. More and more, he finds himself stopping to consider what an amazing ride it has been. “It literally gives me chills thinking about it, and I’ll miss it when it’s over,” Howse admitted. “The experiences I’ve had and friendships I’ve made are things I’ll never forget and I hope this season drags on as long as it can.” That Howse should end up where he’s ended up would come as little surprise to anyone who’s watched him live. There’s an argument to be made that he is the best pure sniper this franchise has ever had, even better than Moller. “Oscar was a great player and a great person and the main thing I remember is the kind of guy he was in the room,” Howse said. “And what kind of mentor he was, to have him

HEAD-TO-HEAD The Bruins are 16-18-0-3 alltime against the Blazers, with a record of 9-8-0-1 within the friendly confines of Prospera Centre.

LAST MEETING The Bruins recorded a 3-2 overtime win Friday night at the Interior Savings Centre in Kamloops. Ryan Howse and Mitch Topping had regulation time goals, and Brandon Manning picked up the winner 21 seconds into the extra session. Lucas Gore stopped 34 shots for the win.

sitting beside me for a couple of years, it was truly amazing to watch him play and see the things he did.” It took a while to track down Santorelli, who set himself well above his pursuers when he left Chilliwack. Santorelli ended his Bruins career with a WHL scoring title in 2007-08, accumulating an astounding amount of points (183) in a very short time (144 games played). “He was just an amazing player and that says it all right there,” Howse said. “He had 82 points his first year and 101 the next, and that says a lot about what he was able to do out there. It’s an honour just to be mentioned with Mark and Oscar.” Particularly when you consider the career trajectory that Howse followed. For the longest time, there were

won’t be the highlightreel snipes that keep the paycheques coming at the pro level. “The main goal in the end is winning,” he said. “They could take all my goals and assists back if it meant we won, and I’d be fine with that.” Next season, whether he’s in the WHL, American Hockey League, or skating with the National Hockey League’s Calgar y Flames, Howse knows his records won’t last forever. Kevin Sundher is likely to break the points one before he’s done, and some young sniper will eventually come along to take away the goals mark. “I’m sure I’ll get a text message if he (Sundher) breaks it,” Howse laughed. “But records are made to be broken, and whoever breaks it will deserve it.”

● Howse’s Chilliwack Bruins endured a rough three-gamesin-three-nights versus B.C. division opposition, going 1-1-0-1 versus the Kamloops Blazers, Prince George Cougars and Vancouver Giants. The Bruins started Friday night with a 3-2 overtime win in Kamloops — Brandon Manning collected the winner. Back on home ice Saturday night, the Bruins fell 4-3 to the Cougars in a wildly entertaining hockey game that had a little of everything. On Sunday, the roof came crashing down as the good guys lost 7-3 to Vancouver at the Pacific Coliseum.

Ryan Howse came into Sunday night’s game riding a seven-game goal scoring streak. The pride of Prince George scored eight goals over that stretch, and the recent hot streak moves him within four tallies of league leading Brendan Ranford (36). The pride of Prince George leads his team into a pair of tilts with U.S. division heavyweights this week as the Bruins visit Portland and Spokane.

Cavanaugh was injured on the play and had to leave the game, forcing Chilliwack to play the remainder of the game with only 10 players.

Buying a home for the first time can be a formidable prospect and it is hard to know where to start. Before making the leap, it is important to familiarize yourself with some basic home-buying principles. The transition from being a renter to owning your own home requires some changes to your lifestyle. If you are planning to live in the area and you like the thought of taking care of your own property (ie. mowing the lawn, gardening and keeping the house in good repair) then you are ready to own your home. The first step to buying is to find a lender and get pre-qualified for a loan. Call a local Realtor and ask them to recommend a lender with whom they have a good working relationship or visit your current financial institution. Your lender will help you get your pre-qualification and will also help you decide how much you can afford. Since buying a home is probably the most expensive purchase you will make, calculating what price you can afford is extremely important. Many buyers experience needless anxiety about the prospect of being turned down for a loan. The truth is that lenders are always looking for creative ways to get buyers into the

home of their dreams. One of the first things they look at is your household income. What mortgage payment will your income support? They look at the total amount of your income and how stable it is (straight salary, commission, bonuses and/or overtime). They also consider the relationship between your income and expenses. Their experience suggests that your fixed housing expenses should not be more than a specific percentage of your gross monthly income. Your down payment and credit history are also carefully considered. The next step is the house-hunt. Make a list of what you are looking for: Where do you want to live? What kind of neighborhood do you like? Check out schools, shopping, entertainment, recreation and any other elements that you need for your lifestyle. What kind of house do you want? Make a list of features that you absolutely cannot do without in your home and a list of what you would like to have, if possible. Bring your list to your Realtor and they will help you find homes for sale that fit within your parameters. One of your best allies will be your Realtor, who will guide you through all the details and possible pitfalls in the home

buying process. A common pitfall that first time buyers often fall into is “Buyer’s Remorse”. When your Realtor has shown you dozens of homes and you can’t make a decision on any of them, you are starting to show the symptoms of buyer’s remorse. Ask yourself, “Am I really ready to buy a house?” “What is holding me back?” If you are worried that you can’t afford the payments, ask your Realtor to show you something in a lower price range. If the houses you’ve seen don’t have all the qualifications you are looking for, shorten your list of “must-haves” and remember that no house will be your perfect dream house in every detail. Choose a house you can imagine yourself turning into a home and then take the plunge. If you find yourself waking up in a panic the night after you signed the papers or wondering what on earth you have just done, don’t worry, these are common reactions. Buyer’s remorse is a temporary affliction and will pass as soon as you move into your new house and begin to experience the wonderful benefits of having a home that is all your own.

Hello, my name is Corny Woelders, I am one of the proud owners of Landmark Realty Chilliwack. I am married and have two great kids. I grew up in Chilliwack and graduated from C.S.S.S. (a long time ago) and then moved to Abbotsford where I met my wife of 23 years. I predominately worked in the poultry and dairy industry and also ran our own Poultry Farm. I became a realtor a number of years ago and worked out of the Landmark Abbotsford office. However, I found myself selling a lot of homes in Chilliwack for friends and family, so when a Landmark franchise came available, my partners and I knew that Chilliwack was the place to go. Today’s low interest rates, plus low prices, plus high inventory, equals the perfect buyers market. So come on in and visit our office and I will help you with all your real estate needs.

CHILLIWACK

OMMUNITY SPORTS REVIEW

Curling 101 with the Sardis Falcons Over the last few weeks, the Chilliwack Progress has been publishing a series of articles written by Sardis secondary honours english students. Today’s article is written by Grade 10 student reporter Jasmin Sprangers, who offers an intro to an iconic Canadian sport that often seems to fly under the radar.

REVIEW

Jasmin Sprangers, Student Reporter

Some people ask, ‘does Sardis really have a curling team?’ Others ask, ‘what is curling?’ The answer to question one is yes. Sardis Secondary School does have a curling team. They actually they have two, a girl’s team and a boy’s team. The girls team practises once to twice a week after school and includes Chanise Walker, Holly Forde, Karissa Foord and Sierra Hunter. The answer to question number two is this; curling is a game for the young and old. It is a game of strategy and communication that teaches many skills. Communication tops the list. Without it, the rock doesn’t go to the correct place and the team doesn’t do as well. Strategy is close behind, because without it the game doesn’t go as planned. There are a couple key pieces that are needed to curl; a special broom, special shoes (the left shoe has a slider making it easier to glide down the ice), a large granite rock and a smooth sheet of ice. Each curling team has four players and four different positions. The positions are: lead, second, third/vice and skip. The lead is the first to throw two rocks while the second and third sweep. Then, the second throws while the third and lead sweep. Then, the third throws while second and lead sweep. The skip calls the shots throughout the entire game and then throws the last two shots. “Sweeping is when you rub the broom against the ice to momentarily melt it for the rock to travel along,” Hunter explained. “When you do that, the rock travels faster and doesn’t curl as much.” Walker, Forde and Hunter haven’t been on the curling team for long, only about a

month and a half. They joined because of interest, curiosity and a desire to get involved. The three friends decided to join together and try something new. Some people join out of curiosity, and some out of school spirit. Others join because they enjoy being busy. The reason to join does not always matter. What matters is the effort put in and whether it is enjoyable or not. Each sport has its best and worst parts, with preferences varying from person to person. Forde said that throwing the rocks is definitely the best part while sweeping, trying to keep balance, and aiming well are another story. Curling practices involve many different skills that need to be developed like any other sport. There are things that the girls are good at, and things that need improvement. “During practices we play mini-games, practice sliding, throwing rocks, aiming, and stretching.” Walker said. The girls take the sport seriously, but strike a good

balance between hard work and enjoyment. “Sports should be fun. We can be serious about them but our life shouldn’t be based around it, otherwise life isn’t always what it is expected to be,” Walker explained. “There are some plans for curling in my future, up until Grade-12 at least. I would like to go to the provincials with the team during my high school years, but after Grade-12 it might just be something from the past.” When asked about her source of inspiration Forde talked about her mom. “She was on a team during high school and I thought that it would be a good thing to try,” she said. “When an opportunity comes, take it. It could be for the better to get out there and try new things. “We would like to thank Lisa Deputan, one of the secretaries at our school, for being our coach and teaching us new skills,” Forde added. “Curling isn’t just about winning, or strategy. It’s about enjoying what you are doing, and forming a bond with others through communication and hard work.”

Lions visit Valley schools Three Chilliwack elementary schools are on the list as the B.C. Lions kick off Terasen Gas Energy Champions program. Now entering its second season, the program is designed specifically for children in kindergarten through grade seven, emphasizing the importance of environmental responsibility and being an ‘Energy Champion.’ In 2010, Lions players visited 75 elementary schools throughout the Lower Mainland, Vancouver Island, the Vancouver Interior and northern B.C., inspiring more than 25,000 students to play an active role in reducing their environmental footprint. Local elementar y schools that will participate this year are y Greendale,, Tyson and

Unsworth. “I am very excited to kick off the second season of this program,” said Lions director of community relations, Jamie Taras. “Now, more than ever, we must encourage, support and teach youth in our communities about the importance of reducing our impact on our surroundings while preserving our environment for generations to come.” In the coming weeks, Lions players including safeties Jason Arakgi and J.R. LaRose, fullback Rolly Lumbala and offensive linemen Dean Valli, Andrew Jones, Jon Hameister-Ries and Justin Sorensen will be fanning out across the province. The Lions are in Chilliwack on two days, g Greendale and hitting

Unsworth on Apr. 7 and Tyson on Apr. 11. “By working with other community conscious organizations like the B.C. Lions, we’ve been able to carry outt innovative initiatives such as this program,” said Doug Stout, vice president energy solutions and external relations at Terasen Gas and FortisBC. “This important program reaches outt to school children across the province, inspiring them to be conscientious about the energy theyy use and teaching simple ways they can help the province achieve its climate action goals byy conserving energy everyy day.” For more info on the B.C. Lions and whatt k they’re up to, check online at www.bclions. com.

JOHNSON Stephania

nee Karbonik Stephania (Stella) Johnson passed away 1:20 am on 24th December 2011 at Cheam Village in Agassiz just short of her 90th birthday. Although too frail to travel she enjoyed her last hours and week visiting with her family at her side, celebrating Christmas and receiveing calls from her grandson Gerry in Taiwan. She was born to Nicolas and Mary Karbonik on 14 February 1921 on their family farm west of Leduc near Calmar Alberta. She was the 3rd eldest of 16 children. From being a farm girl she traveled Alberta, British Columbia, the United States, and Europe. She worked her career as a waitress in particular the military engineer’s ofﬁcer’s mess at Canadian Forces Base Chilliwack where she was head waitress, as well as Churchill and the oil sands in Ft. McMurray. On 21 June 1943 she married Harvey Johnson. They have 2 children Albert Leander (Lea) Johnson and Dianne Marie Davidson (née Johnson); are grandparents to Lynnette (Richard) Gieselman, Terrance (Mary) Davidson and Gerry Johnson; are great grandparents to Michael (Tara) Gieselman, Aaron (Jennifer) Davidson and Grandson Nicholas Gieselman; and great-great grandparents to Damien Davidson and Jack Gieselman. Gerry Johnson is from Mission and is in Taiwan working. All of the rest of the grand children are from and living in Chilliwack. Stella and Harvey lived a full married life in various locations over 30 years: Edmonton, Stettler and Red Deer Albert for 7 years. Then they and their family moved

around a lot when Harvey joined the Royal Canadian Engineers in 1952 in Chilliwack. From many postings in Canada and Europe they lived and traveled extensively. They divorced in 1974 and each remarried until the early 1990s when they re-established life long relations until Harvey’s passing in 2004. She was honest, hard working and very community minded being a member and ofﬁcer of a number of community groups. She was a strong political observer and long time member of the Progressive Conservative/ Conservative party receiving letters of appreciations for her generous and loyal support. She had a deep interest in the Royal Canadian Legion where she was actively involved as a member, Vice-President and President. She was very successful at fundraising and events. She was very proud of the medals awarded her by the Legion. But her biggest passion was the great game of cards. Cards, poker and bingo always got her juices going. Her family thanks her close friends who supported her throughout the last months after her heart failure; Dr. MacIntosh at Cheam and Dr. Bright her family doctor in Chilliwack for their highest level of competence, personal attention and guidance; and the staff at Cheam Village in Agassiz for their compassionate and quality care. According to her wishes there will not be any visitations or funeral service. There will be memorial of her life at 1pm on 29th January 2011 at Branch 4 of the Royal Canadian Legion located at 9350 Mary Street Chilliwack. Her ashes will join those of her life long love Harvey.
