Peter Butcher, president of the Upper Valley local of Canadian Union of Postal Workers, says there are better ways to help Canada Post than cutting home delivery. JENNIFER FEINBERG/ PROGRESS

Chilliwack touched by loss of SAR heroJennifer FeinbergThe Progress

A Chilliwack SAR manager is remembering the time he was rescued by none other than the North Shore Rescue leader Tim Jones.

Condolences were pouring in this week from across B.C. for Jones, who collapsed suddenly and died Sunday night.

Chilliwack SAR search manager Doug Fraser said he clearly recalls the day he first met Jones, the man who was the face of B.C. Search and Rescue.

It was about a year after he’d joined Chilliwack Search and Rescue. Fraser and a fellow SAR member found them-selves in serious trouble, while on a search of Mt. Slesse in the treacherous back country.

“My first meeting with Tim Jones was Tim rescuing me,” Fraser told The Progress this week.

It was Day 3 of a brutal search to find a missing hiker who had been searching for wreckage from the Trans-Canada airline crash of 1956. It was the summer of 1998, and Fraser and the other searcher had just vertically rap-pelled down a ravine in challenging terrain. Water was pouring down the gully.

Soon that led to the grisly discovery of the deceased hiker they’d been looking for.

But they were stuck at this point. They were short of rope, after sections got tangled. They could not make it down the ravine the rest of the way or back up to the top. The SAR members themselves were mentally and physi-cally exhausted.

They had no choice but to hunker down near the body for a few hours and await rescue.

Local postal workers met with Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MP Mark Strahl last week to talk about the end of door-to-door home delivery.

The announcement by Canada Post last month to phase-out of home deliv-ery service in urban areas has rankled both the public and affected workers, said Peter Butcher, president of the Upper Valley local of Canadian Union of Postal Workers.

The end of door-to-door is part of a new five-point plan by Canada Post to cut the bottom line, by relying on community mailboxes over home delivery for convenience and lower cost reasons.

Butcher and some colleagues attended a meeting with the local MP to express how the “streamlining” will affect carriers, their families, and the public.

“We wanted to tell him how we feel about this, so when he gets to Parliament, he has a good idea of what is going on,” he said.

Butcher represents 63 CUPW work-ers in Chilliwack, including letter car-riers and rural route carriers.

Some of the postal workers will also be at the Home Show this weekend at Heritage Park bending ears about the topic.

“Even though we know we are los-ing letter mail, there’s got to be an alternative,” Butcher said.

Chilliwack has about 21 letter carri-

ers doing home delivery, he said, and up to half could be eliminated in the phase-out.

Strahl shared in an email with The Progress that his meeting with CUPW representatives in Chilliwack recently “went well, with a good exchange of views.”

“I reiterated that Canada Post is an arms’ length Crown corporation with a mandate to operate without taxpayer subsidies, and that there is a need to respond to a massive decline in letter mail due to the increasing use of email, social media, texting, and other meth-ods of communication.”

Asked if he’d heard from the public on the topic, Strahl replied: “I’ve heard from constituents who are concerned

Keep mail delivery until security issues are fixed, say posties

NewsH1N1 flu death count misleading, say health officialsJeff NagelBlack Press

Public health officials say more B.C. residents have likely died of H1N1 flu this month than the official count of five lab-confirmed deaths so far.

Four of the confirmed H1N1 deaths were on Vancouver Island, while the fifth was in the Interior and there are none officially listed in the Lower Mainland.

According to the B.C. Centre for Disease Control, there are 49

patients hospitalized in intensive care units with severe influenza as of Jan. 17.

Sixteen of them are in the Fraser Health region and 10 are on Vancouver Island.

But officials say the number of deaths understate the true scope of H1N1 flu fatalities because patients hospitalized with flu-like symptoms – even those who die – are not generally lab tested for a final confirmation of influenza or type.

“Most deaths from influenza will

probably not have influenza iden-tified,” said Dr. Reka Gustafson, a medical health officer with the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority.

As a result, she said it’s “not a meaningful exercise” to focus on the number of deaths or hospi-talizations as that can give a false impression that influenza is less severe.

Based on national averages, the BCCDC estimates there are up to 520 influenza-related hospital deaths in B.C. in a normal flu sea-son each year.

H1N1 makes up more than 80 per cent of flu cases in B.C. so far

this year.Many pharmacies have run out

of vaccine after a late scramble to get immunized.

The province says nearly 1.4 million British Columbians have been vaccinated so far and the “unprecedented demand” has led to temporary gaps in supply.

More vaccine is on order and will be distributed across the province – 5,000 more doses are expected to arrive this week, another 3,000 are expected next week and the province has requested a further 13,000 doses.

“We’re getting near the end of the influenza immunization cam-

paign, so we won’t have vaccine in every location,” Gustafson said.

She said flu season can continue through March, so late season vac-cinations can still help ward off serious illness.

Well known river advocate Mark Angelo speaks to a group of people at an information meeting Saturday, called over concern about a hazardous waste recycling and transfer facility approved for an industrial property on Cannor Road in Chilliwack.

JENNIFER FEINBERG/ PROGRESS

Inquest planned for Mountain inmate deaths


The message from the jam-packed meeting was clear.

Find another location for the proposed waste recycling plant, far away from the edge of the Fraser River.

More than 150 people filled Evergreen Hall Saturday in Chilliwack, spilling out into the hall.

They came to hear river con-servationist Mark Angelo and other river stewards, like First Nations, sport fishing and enviro reps, speak passionately about their concerns about PCBs and mercury being recycled and transferred at a site on Cattermole lands.

Reps from a total of 17 groups have come together to oppose the rezoning, said Rod Clapton

of the B.C. Federation of Drift Fishers.

Some speakers asked about the prospect of legal action to stop the rezoning, while oth-ers wondered if Ministry of the Environment could step in.

Clapton said they support development, but with the pro-viso that it be done in an environ-mentally responsible way.

“We’re not opposed to the facility. We’re opposed to the location,” said Clapton.

He recommended that people “demand accountability” from their elected officials, in the form of a full environmental assess-ment before the project gets off the ground.

The problem is not the idea of hazardous waste being recycled by the applicant Aevitas Inc. It’s the riverside location of the pro-posed site on Cannor Road that

is all wrong, said speaker after speaker, Saturday at the public forum in Evergreen Hall.

There’s too much at stake to site a hazardous waste recycling and transfer station on the banks of the greatest salmon producing river in the world, said celebrat-ed river conservationist Mark Angelo during his talk.

A “precautionary” approach should prevail, he said, in a deci-sion “fraught with risk, like this one,” where the plant would be a mere 100 to 200 metres from the water.

“This is an issue that is reso-nating with so many people,” he said. “Local populations are most often in the best position to pro-tect waterways.”

As a teacher, writer, speaker and paddler, who knows the Fraser River better than most, Angelo was invited to be the

afternoon’s keynote speaker.“I’ve had a love for this part

of the Fraser for a long time,” he said, which led to the birth of B.C. Rivers Day, and World Rivers Day.

The topic Saturday afternoon at the public forum was the pro-posed rezoning of a property on Cannor Road for use as a waste recycling and transfer station for Aevitas Inc.

The property on the Cattermole lands requires a rezoning to a special industrial zone, M6, for the facility to be allowed to operate.

The application has already received three readings and was unanimously approved by Chilliwack council. Some com-plained that they weren’t aware of the Dec. 3 public hearing on the rezoning, but city officials

An inquest will probe the deaths of three Mountain Institution inmates.

The inquest will take place from March 10 to 14 this year, at the Burnaby Coroners Court. The three men’s deaths being investigated are Gerald Joseph Cayer, 49 (Feb. 7, 2013), Kyle Darren Tombaugh, 35 (Aug. 24, 2012) and Warren Robert Allen, 54 (July 20, 2012).

Each of the three inmates were all being housed in the medium security’s segregation unit when they died. Their deaths span an eight month period. And while most coroner’s inquests deal only with a single incident, there were enough similarities in the deaths to war-rant grouping the deaths together.

Chief coroner Lisa Lapointe con-firmed that the facts and circumstances of these three deaths are sufficiently similar that it will be more effective to hold a single inquest into the deaths.

Presiding coroner Vincent Stancato and a jury will hear evidence from subpoenaed witnesses to determine the facts surrounding the deaths.

While the jury may not, by law, make any findings of legal responsibility, it may make recommendations aimed at preventing deaths under similar cir-cumstances in the future. An inquest is a formal process that allows for public presentation of evidence relating to a death.

Cayer was serving time for second-degree murder.

Tombaugh was serving four years and 21 days for theft, assault with a weapon and attempt of an indictable offense.

Allen was an HIV-positive ex-police officer convicted of sexually assaulting teens.

B.C.’s population grew by 24,000 in the third quarter of 2013, reaching 4,606,375.

It’s the largest popu-lation increase for that quarter since 1996. The increase was mainly a result of 15,477 non-per-

manent residents, which Statistics Canada warns are a volatile component of population measure-ment.

Northern B.C. com-munities are dealing with what they call “ghost populations,” with thou-sands of workers flying in and out of industrial camps who put pressure on local services without contributing to commu-nities.

Interprovincial migra-

tion figures showed the seventh consecutive quarter of net loss for B.C., down 282 people from the second quarter.

B.C.’s total popula-tion increase over the 12 months ending Oct. 1 was 47,496 people, main-ly due to international immigration, which saw a net gain of 35,282 people. Natural growth (births minus deaths) accounted for 11,214 of the total.

with mail theft and who want more information on Canada Post’s pro-posed delivery changes.

“I’ve also heard from many who do not wish to see their tax dollars go to subsidize the sta-tus quo at Canada Post.”

Butcher said the

workers were told that Canada Post has been losing money, but they countered that was only in 2011, and had to do with financial conse-

quences for the corpo-ration from when the postal workers were locked out.

The CUPW wants to help Canada Post, said

the union rep.“We are trying to pro-

pose ways to help, so they don’t have to make such drastic cuts.”

Security of commu-nity mailboxes is still a big issue. Break-in numbers were up and December was a big month for theft.

“There are mail-boxes in Chilliwack that were broken into in November that still aren’t fixed,” Butcher reported. “I think that’s unacceptable for a Crown corporation of this size that’s supposed to be a public service.”

The elderly, shut-ins and those with mobil-ity issues will struggle to reach community mailboxes. The public is still very concerned about how they will access their mail, given the security risks, he added.

“They understand that door-to-door deliv-ery is the only way,” he said. “We say to the corporation to keep it as is until you can fix the problem. Take the superboxes and put them where the prob-lems are and test it out before you take away

door-to-door. Find a solution first.”

The union can’t do it alone, and needs the support of the public, Butcher said.

“It’s your Canada Post,” he said. “Demand better service.”

Concerned members of the public can chat with a CUPW member at Heritage Park on Jan. 24-26, during the home show. They’ll be chat-ting with folks and shar-ing their suggestions to help offset costs, and stave off the postal cuts.

B.C. population reaches 4.6 million

The SPCA in Chilliwack is hoping to raise $1,000 for eye surgery on an abandoned kit-ten found near Vedder Road.

The 10-week-old kitten,

who has been named ‘Angel’ by SPCA staff, requires a sur-gery known as enucleation, which removes the eye but leaves the eye muscles and remaining orbital contents intact. This type of ocular sur-gery is performed in cases where the eye has suffered severe trauma.

“We don’t know how Angel sustained the injury but we

would like to get her treat-ment as quickly as possible,” says Ivanna Ferris, manag-er of the Chilliwack SPCA. “She is a sweet, gentle kit-ten who seems to know that we are trying to help her. We are hoping members of the public will help us with the cost of surgery, which is estimated at nearly $1,000.” The SPCA will care for Angel

during her recovery and will find a loving home for her once she is well enough for adoption.

Donations for Angel and other animals in need at the Chilliwack SPCA can be made at the branch at 6797 Hopedale Road, Box 142, Chilliwack, B.C., V2P 6H7, by calling 604-823-6612, or online at spca.bc.ca/support.

NDP set for rebound?Now we know the when. Perhaps soon we’ll learn the who.The BC NDP announced over the weekend that it will announce its new

leader to succeed Adrian Dix on Sept. 28. That leader will be chosen by party members in a vote to be conducted Sept. 24-27 over the phone and online.

The party’s president, Craig Keating, said he’s looking forward to an “exciting leadership election with great candidates.”

Except, so far there aren’t any candidates. Great or otherwise.Three federal NDP Members of Parliament from B.C. have said they’re

not interested. Peter Julian, Fin Donnelly and Nathan Cullen all bowed out even before they bowed in.

Kennedy Stewart, the MP for Burnaby-Douglas, is still mulling his deci-sion. As is Jinny Sims, the federal NDP representative from Newton-North Delta.

Their reticence is understandable.As members of the official opposition in Ottawa, they’re all strong voices

for issues they and their constituents believe in. They’re members of a party that captured voters’ imaginations in the last federal election and continues to get attention countering decisions and legislation made by Stephen Harper’s Conservative government.

B.C. politics, on the other hand, is a snake pit.Nobody knows that better than Dix, who seemed to have victory in last

spring’s provincial campaign in the bag but found himself delivering a con-cession speech instead.

Now that the date has been set for the party’s leadership vote, most observers expect candidates to begin announcing their intentions as well.

And no doubt as those names are known, and those candidates start hustling for support, the always entertaining world of B.C. politics will burn with renewed energy and entertainment.

RAESIDE

VICTORIA – Neil Young’s anti-oilsands concert tour was the per-fect distillation of the American enviro-assault on its dependent northern neighbour that’s been going on for a decade or more.

After touring Fort McMurray in his electric car with actor-turned-protester Daryl Hannah, the 68-year-old Young covered all the big propaganda hits and added his own fantasy facts.

It looks like a war zone up there! Hiroshima! If it keeps going it will be like the Moon! There’s no rec-lamation! Tar sands oil is all going to China, and that’s why their air is so bad!

All of those statements are false. And then Young dropped his

own nuclear bomb, claiming can-cer rates in Fort Chipewyan are 30 per cent higher than, well, some-where else. Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation has cited a discredited study by former community doctor

John O’Connor to press the same claim.

The College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alberta reviewed O’Connor’s claims in 2009. It con-

cluded that “Dr. O’Connor made a number of inac-curate or untruth-ful claims” about cancer patients, and then refused to provide patient information after his claims made international news.

Retired pro-fessor David

Schindler toured with Young and continued to push the health scare, referring darkly to newer research showing increased mercury and PAH (polycyclic aromatic hydro-carbon) contamination.

When you peel back the propa-ganda and journalistic hype, these studies mainly reveal that such

toxins are on the rise, but are found in much higher concentra-tions around large cities where fuel is consumed. The cancer claims were then debunked by a Royal Society of Canada expert panel in 2010.

This cancer scare is the most damaging and dishonest part of the selective attack on Alberta. The oil industry, politicians and most of the media seem unwilling to examine it critically.

Climate scientist-turned-pol-itician Andrew Weaver was at Young’s Toronto news conference. He says there were no questions for him, Adam or Young’s other validator, David Suzuki, who previ-ously worked with Schindler on a slanted oilsands documentary for the CBC.

Weaver calculates that Young’s claim about greenhouse gas emis-sions is substantially correct, if you include emissions from the finished fuels. Weaver refused any

comment on the cancer claims.Young included the obligatory

sneering comparison between Stephen Harper and George W. Bush, which is another sign he’s lived in California too long. He seemed unaware that the NDP’s Thomas Mulcair and Liberal lead-er Justin Trudeau support contin-ued oilsands development.

As for moonscapes, Young could have driven his famous elec-tric Lincoln from his Redwood City mansion on a hill to nearby Bakersfield, to view the greasy expanses of closely packed pump-jacks reaching to the horizon, still expanding due to hydraulic fractur-ing.

Young could have visited North Dakota, where the second shale oil train explosion luckily didn’t kill anyone. It seems there will be no remake of Young’s classic Kent State lament dedicated to 47 Dead in Old Quebec. That’s American oil, so no protests.

Chief Adam was frank in an interview on CTV about using the “Honour the Treaties” tour to strengthen his legal position. Young’s concert tour put $75,000 in his fund to pay lawyers. Oil isn’t the only thing being extracted here.

By the end of the tour Sunday, Young and Adam conceded they weren’t trying to shut the Athabasca oilsands down, just start a dialogue.

Thanks to uncritical media coverage, there will no doubt be discussions at dinner tables and in classrooms all over the world about the terrible Alberta tar sands and the cancer they don’t actually cause..

Expand parenting courseTeens learn parenthood

with “Real” babies (Chilliwack Progress, Jan. 10)

With some reservations, I give kudos to teachers Christa VanKlei and Barb Kroeker. This is an innovative and progres-sive approach to helping young women experience the responsi-bilities of parenting.

Have either of these teachers experienced the challenges of being a single mother? Having experienced being a single moth-er myself, I question the impact that three days of caring for a “Real” baby will make on these young women. That is only the beginning.

The reality is, the challenges that they will face in the years to come will diminish the three day

experience of “Real” baby to next to nothing

This program does not come anywhere close to what are the real challenges that face a single mother. It is however a step in the right direction.

To make this a truly worth-while educational experience it needs to be expanded.

Why is this “course” focused on females? Many would argue that is because they are tradition-ally the primary caregivers. Is that because both our society and our legal system do not put more emphasis on the fathers responsibility? Aside from child support. Which to my dismay, more and more young single mothers are choosing not to pur-sue. Their perception is that “if

I don’t ask for support then he can’t see the child.” To all of you out there in this position, this is not true.

I would strongly support this as a mandatory course for both sexes, in all school districts in every province. This would eas-ily fall into the category of “Life Skills”.

To suggest by inference that this is something that is only beneficial to the female students is a blatant display of systemic ignorance.

Young men also need to understand and experience the consequences of their actions.

June Dawson

Editor’s Note: The course is optional, and open to all students, regardless of gender.

In response to the news article in the Chilliwack Progressregarding my brother Gerald Guliker and the RCMP. (RCMP share blame in fatal crash, court rules, Jan. 10) I would like to mention an important part that is not captured in the

article. Gerald’s despair and

actions were caused by sheer frustration with the whole system relat-ed to his brain injury not his epilepsy.

We really hope the main focus here which is ‘brain inju-ries’ will be addressed

more seriously. They require unique needs and understanding that most people don’t understand.

We have to be their voice and fight for bet-ter treatment as well as short and long term care facilities that they so desperately need.

There are so many, many, more suffering from conditions similar to my brother’s, let’s hear their screams for help so we don’t let another tragedy like this one happen again - it’s too painful for every-one involved.

CSOPA’s latest show wins applause

Re: Shrek the Musical. What a show! As grandparents of three members of CSOPA my wife and I have made the trip over the last several years from our home in Ontario to see their shows.

This year’s performance of Shrek the Musical by CSOPA’s mainstage actors once again demonstrates their outstanding talent and dedication.

Thousands of hours of rehearsal and of volunteer and professional production work, as well as generous local sponsor-ships, have contributed to a highly enter-taining family show. Live theatre is very much alive in Chilliwack.

Congratulations!

Marion Peters-Marks, owner/operator of Marion’s Dressing Room and Anne Hails of Dickens Sweets & British Museum said it well as posted in your Wednesday, Jan. 15 edition. Please come out to support your one and only downtown.

Downtown Chilliwack is hurting. This is nothing new. Many smaller towns have gone through this process, like Nelson, Nanaimo and Kelowna.

What I don’t understand about Chilliwack and its city council, is the lack of recognition for the preservation of heritage buildings and the lack of interest to preserve the downtown heritage and it’s history. Preserving the heritage and creating a truly popular ‘Historic’ Downtown would be the best interest for city council, for future growth as a magnet for the third industry (after real estate and agriculture)– tourism!

People love to visit a town that has been restored and search out its history. Chilliwack could become that mecca for the Lower Mainland seekers and the city and downtown businesses would flourish.

Anita Unger

Heritage and tourism

“We were a little traumatized,” Fraser recalled.” We had been hoping to find this fel-low alive.” When it didn’t turn out that way, it led to a feeling of help-lessness, coupled with utter exhaustion.

North Shore Rescue had been called in; it was the only SAR team with long-line rescue capability.

For Fraser, that day turned out to be his first meeting with Jones. He knew about him but he never met him until he came flying in to his rescue.

“He was the first to fly into that gully at the end of the long line,” he said.

He was so glad to see Jones.

“It sure was a relief,” he said. “A three-minute flight, and we were in a different world.”

The Chilliwack SAR member was reminisc-ing this week about that life-transforming inci-

dent. “It’s something I’ll

never forget,” Fraser said. “I was amazed by what this helicopter long-line system was capable of.”

The experience actu-ally inspired Fraser to undergo the special-ized training required for long-line helicopter rescue certification himself.

“The loss of Tim

Jones this week is such a shock,” Fraser said. “The whole province is reeling from the news.”

Many remember-ing Jones are using the word “tenacious” to describe him.

“That’s a fitting word,” said Fraser. “His commitment to support and improvements for SAR were endless.”

Megan Bukta was too young to remember her mom’s cancer struggle but now, as an adult, she’s helping others with their battles.

Bukta, 27, is a volunteer with the Canadian Cancer Society and, as such, helps raise funds that go towards cancer research, pre-vention initiatives, and support programs.

She credits such dollars with helping her mom, Michelle Rickaby, to survive Hodgkin’s lymphoma when Butka was just three years old, and she wants to

return the favour.This includes assisting with the

Cancer Society’s latest fundraiser – Slopes for Hope, taking place Sunday, Feb. 9 at Hemlock Resort.

The event invites skiers and boarders to raise pledges and then spend the day on the slopes. They can attempt to ski or board the height of Mount Everest, which requires 22 runs, either as individuals or a team.

Wacky costumes are encour-aged.

Registration is $10 (free for kids under 12), and those who raise more than $100 receive a free lift pass for the day, as well as the first run of the day.

Those who raise more than $50 get a free two-hour tubing pass for the day.

Nicola Romaniuk, annual giving co-ordinator with the Fraser Valley region of the Cancer Society, said the event, taking place on the Family Day long weekend, is designed for the whole family.

The top fundraising team receives a two-night stay during spring break for up to 10 people at Snowflake Resort Chalets at Hemlock Resort or a three-night stay during the summer.

Prizes are also awarded for the top individual fundraiser and the best team spirit.

About $13,000 was raised last

year – the first time the event was held at Hemlock Resort – and the goal is $16,000 this time around.

All proceeds go to the Canadian Cancer Society.

Bukta, a marketing assistant in Abbotsford at University of the Fraser Valley (UFV), has helped promote Slopes for Hope by dis-tributing posters and pamphlets and posting information on social media.

She will also participate as a skier and hopes to form a team from UFV.

“It seems like a really fun thing to do, and it’s family-oriented,” she said.

Bukta has volunteered with the

Cancer Society for about 10 years through events such as the Relay for Life, the Daffodil Campaign and Cops for Cancer.

“It just means a lot that people go out there to help raise money for research that will raise our survivor rates,” she said.

The Hemlock Resort event is among five Slopes for Hope fundraisers taking place in B.C. and the closest one to the Fraser Valley.

Slopes for Hope at Hemlock raises cancer funds

Tom FletcherBlack Press

The B.C. government

has begun a province-wide tour to collect ideas for improving conditions for disabled people, par-

ticularly by improving their job prospects.

Social Development Minister Don McRae attended the first ses-sion Monday in his home community of Courtenay, which drew a capacity crowd of 70 people. He plans to attend other ones in the B.C. Interior and Lower Mainland in the coming weeks.

The ministry has also established a website for public comments, and one of the more fre-quent suggestions is for B.C. to increase its social

assistance payment to disabled people. That now stands at $906 per month, including a rent subsidy.

McRae said in an interview that major cost items like that will have to wait until B.C.’s economy improves. Meanwhile, efforts to increase employment are showing promise.

B.C. has increased the amount of income that can be earned without reducing disability ben-efits from $500 to $800 a month. McRae said he wants to expand on a pilot project that allows people to earn more than that for part of the year, so they can take advan-tage of seasonal work.

McRae, who had

“social innovation” added to his title when he was appointed to the minis-try last year, said he was encouraged by a meet-ing with a Tim Hortons owner from Ontario who now employs one out of four people with disabili-ties in his stores.

Employees aver-age less than a year in those jobs, but disabled employees stay an aver-age of five years, which saves substantial money on training.

Input from the com-munity meetings and website comments are to be used for a policy paper that will be presented at a public forum in June. The website for comments is at engage.gov.bc.ca/dis-abilitywhitepaper.


Dental implants are changing the way people live. They are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved. The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. these metal anchors act as tooth root substitutes.

The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artifi cial teeth.Small posts that protrude through the gums are then attached to the implant. These posts provide stable anchors for artifi cial replacement teeth.

DENTAL IMPLANTS

Implants also help preserve facial

structure, preventing bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing.

NewsTour seeks input on disability issues Cool heads help

teens and mom foil break-in

A 49 year old Chilliwack man is in police cus-tody after a failed break-in Friday.

Bremner Robertson allegedly tried to get into a house in the 46,000 block of 3rd Avenue by smashing a window.

Two teenagers were home at the time. They called their mother, who was out at the time, and then 9-1-1.

The mother rushed home to confront the intruder, who ran away.

RCMP officers were already in the neighbor-hood, on an unrelated matter, when the 9-1-1 call came in. Robertson hadn’t gotten far when they rounded him up.

He appeared in Chilliwack Provincial Court Monday, and he’s been charged with one count of break and enter. He’ll appear in court again Jan. 27.

have reiterated that all the legislative require-ments for the hearing process were met.

The volumes of toxic and hazardous materi-als, like PCBs and mer-cury, are “high,” Angelo said at the meeting. “It’s staggering if you think of it.”

Before the meeting, he shared some ideas with The Progress.

“A key concern about this proposal is that haz-ardous waste facilities like this have an envi-ronmental risk attached to them because of the materials they handle,” wrote Angelo in an email. “Consequently, in terms of where they’re located, they should be placed a sig-nificant distance from any river and out of the floodplain.”

Anyone would be hard-pressed to find a similar plant sited near a river, let alone one like the Fraser, with its embarrassment of riches in terms of spe-cies of salmon and stur-geon.

“Consequently, in terms of where they’re located, they should be placed a significant distance from any river and out of the flood-plain,” he argued.

Even Aevitas’s other facilities are not built in such ecologically sensitive environments, Angelo noted.

“Given the exception-al values of the Fraser, I believe it’s essential that we take a precautionary approach – and find an alternative site farther away from the river.

“The current propos-al for the plant is not con-sistent with such a pre-cautionary approach. Consequently, we’ll be asking council to hold back from any final decision, allow for addi-tional consultation and input - and review alter-native sites.

“And to Aevitas, I would say their inter-est in this particular site runs counter to what they’ve traditionally stood for and, if they were to build there, I think it would detract in many ways and for many years from the otherwise noble work they do,” said Angelo.

So approval by the province is by no means certain, he predicted.

“Also, I believe many will oppose and take issue with any propos-al that claims the only location for a large toxic materials treatment

plant happens to be on the banks of the great Fraser River.

“This amazing river

is the heart and soul of our province and this proposal, in this loca-tion, is not consistent

with any kind of plan to protect the river’s key natural values.

“For that reason,

this issue is starting to resonate with a huge number of people and I think those numbers

will continue to grow.Also presenting were

Thompson from Friends of the Chilliwack River Valley and more.

1-14W BIA22Some pages and features are still under construction.

There were hugs and more than a few tears this week as Karalee and Edward Stacie fin-ished things up at their Main Street thrift shop. After eight months, the owners of Twenty Dollars in Your Pocket are tak-ing a break. A new couple will be taking over day-to-day opera-tions as Karalee and Edward, “get their bearings.”

It’s been a challenging adven-ture, the two say – one that has taught them a lot about business and more about people.

They started the store after Edward was unable to return to work as a long-haul truck driver following a work place injury. He got much help and support during his recovery, and with a restricted income he got to know a lot of second-hand stores and garage sales.

Two things emerged: a desire to help others (just like others had helped him), and a convic-tion that he and Karalee could run a store as well or better than the stores they had seen.

“We thought, ‘We can do that,’” Edward says.

They began prowling second-hand sales and flea markets, looking for deals that they could add to their growing inventory.

Quality and cleanliness were important. Even today Edward can spend nearly $185 a week on laundry.

But they also worked on their attitude. “Karalee taught me a lot,” says Edward.

Her philosophy is simple:

treat everyone with kindness and respect. “Like you would want to be treated,” Edward says.

They welcomed everyone into their store without judgement – rich or poor, young or old.

That fairness did not go unno-ticed. One family, whom they ‘adopted’ at Christmas time, returned the kindness with a surprise gift of their own – a Tim Horton’s gift card that the pair knew the family couldn’t really afford.

It’s that kind of interaction the two are going to miss the most. They still smile about the Christmas stockings they packed with life’s little necessi-ties and distributed to the home-less, the forgotten, “and anyone who looked lonely.”

“The look on their faces made it all worth it,” Karalee says.

Karalee and Edward say they hope to reopen a store in a few months.

Two customers touched by the couple, popped by Monday morning to share a hug and offer support. They might have a suggestion for a name to the new store: “Second Chance,” one of them says earnestly.

Twenty Dollars in Your Pocket is located at 9242 Main Street. For information, call 604-701-8373.

Finding treasure amid the clutterIf there’s a certain symmetry to

Claudia Earl’s business, it’s no acci-dent.

Claudia and husband Gordon recently opened “Find a Treasure” on Mill Street.

And while the shop offers an eclec-tic and elegantly-displayed storefront, the real business begins behind the scenes.

Claudia offers a service aimed at helping others simplify their lives and declutter their worlds.

It’s something she began by acci-dent while living in Winnipeg. While working for a property management company, she found herself tasked with the job of emptying apartments of unwanted furniture once the ten-ants had left.

Having seen poverty in her native El Salvador, Claudia couldn’t bring herself to throwing it all out. “I just thought that was such an awful waste.”

At the same time, her ability to help people relocate, downsize, organize and get rid of their stuff started get-ting noticed. What began as a sideline soon turned into a business, and thus was born DeClutter.ca – an operation that eventually grew to 11 staff and five moving trucks.

Clutter is a tricky thing, says Claudia. It can creep up on us and overwhelm us with little notice. Every book, bedstand and ornament carries a memory, making the item difficult to part with. For some, it’s a question of avoidance and procrastination, for others health concerns or age may prevent them from organizing their homes.

Claudia’s goal is to help her clients sift through their belongings, find and keep the forgotten treasures and get rid of the rest.

Her services range from a simple consultation, to packing for a move and unpacking in the new home. “We do everything to make your new living space feel like ‘home,’ by making sure that everything is set up just the way you like it.”

Not everything will make the move. And those items that don’t are sold at Claudia’s Mill Street shop. In exchange, clients receive a discount for her services, depending on the value of the merchandise.

What isn’t sold is donated or repur-posed some other way. Only as a last resort is anything thrown away.

“Our motto is ‘Recycle first. Dump last,’” she says with a laugh.

To find out more about Claudia’s services, or to find your own treasure, drop by Find a Treasure, located at 9355 Mill Street, call 604-798-6218, or go online to DeClutter.ca

Scene ProgressThe Chilliwack

Jennifer

Feinberg


A new live music venue in downtown Chilliwack opens this week, geared to supporting acoustic music and local musi-cians.

Acoustic Emporium will become Chilliwack’s folk music club twice a month, on Friday nights, offering all-ages shows for ten bucks a person at the door.

“Here was our idea: Create an intimate space for sharing personal music,” says Vern Tompke.

The musicians will take the stage in the renovated heritage building on Wellington Avenue, near Mill Street. It’s the old

Wellington Emporium space, which is now the Vineyard Community Centre, home of Vineyard Community Church and now the non-profit Acoustic Emporium.

Think of it as a gathering space for people united by a love of live music.

“It all about building com-munity in Chilliwack,” says Tompke.

Whether the musicians lean toward roots, alt, or folk music, the emphasis is on acoustic music and the singer-songwrit-er genre, says manager Luke Vandevert.

The styles will range from Blue Rodeo to Phillip Phillips and Said The Whale.

That will mean broad appeal

to the widest audience possible.“We’re always going to open

the show with local musicians as well, specifically to support local music in Chilliwack,” he said.

The renovated space can fit more than 150 people.

First up on the performance roster at the Acoustic Emporium is Seattle-based Jon Bryant, originally from Halifax, N.S. on Jan. 24. The second act will be Jordan Klassen of Vancouver on Feb. 7.

Jordan Klassen is a Vancouver-based songwriter who after steady increases in accolades, radio play and live crowds, offered a new album, Repentance, this fall. Recorded at Buena Vista Audio with Producer/Multi-instrumentalist

Jonathan Anderson, the album employs diverse instrumenta-tion. Ukuleles, strings, horns, glockenspiels, and choirs take their place alongside guitar, piano, and drums with Klassen’s floating falsetto drawing every-thing together. Repentance is being called “an engaging and beautiful record, steeped in sonic whimsy and alluring melo-dies.”

For Halifax-born Jon Bryant, writing his latest release, What Takes You, was a challenging, yet invigorating experience. He’s a singer-songwriter and guitarist now based in Washington State.

“I had been touring almost every month, finishing univer-sity and moving,” Bryant says. “It was very strenuous. Getting

back into a creative frame of mind, collecting thoughts, ideas and memories from the previous two years and channeling them into new songs wasn’t an easy process. Oftentimes I would find myself pulling my car over to write a phrase down or record a melody on my phone.”

It’s very personal.“I like the way music can draw

very distinct reactions from people,” Bryant says. “I feel if I give away too much informa-tion about these songs, they will somehow lose their power and ability to do that.”

Local musicians can contact Vern Tompke or Luke Vandevert at [email protected] to be considered.

Water can be your home’s mortal enemy – have no fear –

Winmar Man is here! Next to your home catching fire,

there is nothing worse than water damage. It’s only a

matter of time before mould starts to grow, so the source

of the water needs to be determined, and the area needs

to be dried out thoroughly, as soon as possible. At

Winmar, our technicians are trained to use the latest

equipment like infrared cameras and electronic moisture

meters to collect data and develop a targeted approach.

We focus on the finding the source and determining the

full extent of the restoration job versus the common

Chilliwack’s building, renovation & decor eventlive from Heritage Park Jan. 24, 25 & 26, 2014

The 2014 Home and Leisure Expo is back at Heritage Park, and with it comes your chance to win great prizes! This year, there are two Grand Prizes which consist of a $1500 and a $1000 gift card to Fortin’s Home Hardware!

The Chilliwack Progress in partnership with Evergreen Exhibitions, once again brings you this popular and engaging contest. Don’t worry, you will not be receiving those annoying follow-up sales pitches after the show ends! Show regular, Fortin’s Home Hardware, has joined this year’s contest generously offering the gift cards totaling $2500.

As you enter the main building of the show, stop by the Chilliwack Progress contest booth and pick up your contest entry form. While making your way around the show, which includes more than 250 booths to visit, seek out and collect stamps from official “stamping station” booths. Each of the stamping stations will have a unique stamp that they will use to authenticate your entry form. Once you have made your way around the show and completed your form, return it to the main contest booth for your chance to win a gift card from Fortin’s Home Hardware, or other great prizes. Winners will be contacted by phone the week following the show.

To dream about how you might spend your winnings at Fortin’s Home Hardware, stop by their booth this weekend, visit them at their current location at 5674 Vedder Road and coming soon to 45750 Airport Road, or visit them on the web at www.homehardware.ca

Logan’s Home Hardware has combined with Fortin’s Home

Hardware and will soon be operating out of a newly expanded

store on Airport Road!

The expansion of the Hardware section will result in nearly

double the stock that Logan’s carried. As well as additional

hardware stock, the Automotive/Industrial side of Fortin’s will

be increased by 45% resulting in a huge selection of over one

million dollars worth of stock! Plans are well underway to

have the expansion completed in February.

For those Logan’s customers who are in need of products

more immediately, they can visit the Garrison Crossing

location (just past McDonald’s on Vedder Road. Also, calling

the old Logan’s phone number will conveniently connect you

to Fortin’s in Garrison. In addition, orders can be placed at the

Garrison store and be delivered at no additional charge to the

Chiliwack location. Delivery vehicles make the trip up to four

times daily!

The friendly and knowledgeable service you expected from

the core group of the Logan’s staff, will continue at Fortin’s as

those employees are joining the already outstanding team at

the Airport Road location.

The entire Fortin’s organization are looking forward to seeing

returning customers and new patrons alike now and in

February when the expansion is complete.

Having recently purchased the assets of Logan’s Home Hardware, Fortin’s on Airport Road is currently undergoing an expansion from 12,000 square feet to over 25,000 square feet, for warehouse, retail and machining space. The machine shop alone is doubling in size from 2,000 square feet to 4,000 square feet. This will be the second Home Hardware location for Fortin’s who also owns the store on at 5674 Vedder Road.

Fortin’s has built a reputation across Canada with the quality of its machining, and has both national contracts, working with the machining of domestic cars, hot rods, stock cars, marine, industrial, agricultural and manufacturing industries.

Jeff Fortin has a simple formulation for success in a world where family-owned

businesses face a growing headwind from corporate competitors: Combine the best of both worlds- hometown service, backed by national buying support.

“We work very hard to have that family kind of culture here,” says Fortin.

But to give customers the pricing they demand, Fortin’s counts on the purchasing power that comes through

a broader membership. He says Fortin’s is proud to be members of Auto Sense (over 375 stores) and Home Hardware (over 1,100 stores), Canada’s largest Automot ive /Hardware buying groups.

“That allows us to buy right, so we can sell right.”

The mega expansion is expected to be completed in February.

Fortin’s Home Hardware Expands

Jeff Fortin says Fortin’s Automotive on Airport Road will be doubling in size, from 12,00 square feet to 25,000. The expected completion date is February. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Abstracts and characters in new art showArt fans won’t want

to miss the diversity of Planes + Characters.

It’s an exciting new exhibition of paintings by Chilliwack’s Sandra Wiens and Pierre Tremblay, who is origi-nally from Quebec City.

They ended up doing a duo show because they are both enthusi-astic teachers at Sardis secondary.

They formed a small group of artists who critique and support each other, and from that grew the idea of doing a joint exhibit.

Expect to see 30 to 35 pieces, mostly abstracts by Wiens and characters in the form of contemporary figurative portraits by Tremblay.

The show Planes + Characters is in the Art Galler y in the Chilliwack Cultural Centre, 9201

Corbould Street. Open Wednesdays to Saturdays 12 to 5 p.m., and 6.30 to 7:30 p.m. on Theatre Evenings.

Pierre Tremblay and Sandra Wiens both enjoy working with the physicality of paint but with differ-ent outcomes. Pierre Tremblay has focused on playing with the conventions of portrai-ture. Playful extremes in both colours and composition play an important role in how his subjects materi-alize. Sandra Wiens has been working on depicting non-specific landscape spaces that explore the notion of both incremental and forceful change.

Artists’ Reception is set for Sat. Jan 25, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the Art Gallery in the Chilliwack Cultural Centre

Sardis secondary teachers Sandra Wiens and Pierre Tremblay collaborate for Planes + Characters exhibit. SUBMITTED

Scene&Heard

Chilliwack fell in love with Ballet Jörgen when they came to town last with Swan Lake and the Chilliwack Arts & Cultural Centre Society is thrilled to wel-come them back Feb. 1 with their latest interpretation, the romantic tale of Romeo and Juliet.

Perfect for a pre-Valentine’s Day. Treat yourself and that special someone to the enchanting beauty of ballet when this incredible dance troupe returns to the cultural centre.

Masterfully transformed into Ballet Jörgen’s magical world of ballet, Shakespeare’s timeless tale of love, anguish, and revenge is a visual delight that feels like a piece of theatre. One of Shakespeare’s most popular plays, the classic tale of Romeo & Juliet has inspired the imagination of many an artist over the centuries and this production is no exception. Creating works that over-flow with intimacy and warmth while still remaining true to the original plot, Ballet Jörgen’s artistic director, Bengt has cre-ated a stunningly beautiful and emotional-ly-driven ballet that is inspired by the raw emotion of Romeo and Juliet. The chore-ography captures the agonizing passion of the young lovers through movement as dancers express the euphoria of new love, the agony of quarrelling families, and the heartbreaking despair felt by the lovers at the prospect of life without each other. Shifting between comedy and tragedy, heightening the tension, audience mem-bers will be drawn into the classic tale of these young star crossed lovers as they struggle to find a solution to their plight.

Bengt Jörgen’s interpretation of this

timeless classic has won international recognition and critical acclaim as the ballet has been showcased in major cit-ies and communities across Canada, the United States, and China. His engaging perspective on this story of love and the innocence of youth has created a dramati-cally intelligent dance production while still remaining faithful to the characters and storyline of Shakespeare’s play.

“Bengt Jörgen focuses his dramatic lens on the title characters’ love and creates an abundance of inventive pas de deux choreography, enchantingly danced,” says Lisa Jo Sagolla of Backstage Weekly, New York

Recognized by the National Arts Centre for its leadership role in the devel-opment of touring classical ballet across Canada, Ballet Jörgen Canada is known for the innovation, warmth, humour and beauty in its works. Continuing to reach out to more communities across the country than any other Canadian dance company, the troupe consistently tours the finest in new and classic productions to every area of the country. Seeking to advance the art and appreciation of ballet and Canadian choreography through per-formance, educational experiences and outreach for over 25 years, Ballet Jörgen Canada gives over 120 performances per year, sharing the art of dance with over 50,000 people.

Come and enjoy this breathtaking performance as the plight of these ill-fated lovers is portrayed through dance. Call the Centre Box Office at 604-391-SHOW(7469) or visit www.chilliwackcul-turalcentre.ca

Ballet Jörgen brings Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare’s timeless tale of love, anguish, and revenge, to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre Feb. 1. SUBMITTED PHOTO

Take two singer-songwriters, one who reportedly plays accor-dion better than the other, and send them on a cross-Canada tour in the dead of winter.

Dan Whitehouse and Anja McCloskey touch down in Chilliwack at Bozzini’s on Jan. 24.

The pair have writ-ten and recorded a joint EP, Still, which will be released on UK indie label Sotones Records this week.

They are actually kicking off their tour in Chilliwack before head-ing through the Rocky Mountains.

“We are really excited about going on the road in Canada in winter time,” says Anja McCloskey. “In

fact, I couldn’t think of a more beautiful time of year to explore this part of the world and begin this new musical collaboration.”

The pair first met at London Regent’s Park Zoo in 2002, introduced to each other by John Peel favourite and leg-endary UK indie sing-er- ‐songwriter Helen McCookerybook – while Dan was playing rather rudimentary accordion to the ani-mals as part of a school songwriting project. Anja lambasted Dan for his clumsy accordion chops, and a friendship was born. They stayed in touch and whenever they met would talk longingly about col-laborating together,

but it was not until the autumn of 2013 they finally started writing music together.

Dan Whitehouse and Anja McCloskey at Bozzini’s Friday Jan 24. Show at 9:30. Tables available from 8 p.m. Tickets are $12 avail-able now at Bozzini’s or call 604-792-0744 to reserve.

A children’s swap meet this weekend is two-fold: buy children’s clothes and support Nigerian orphans.

The swap meet at Broadway Church on Saturday, Jan. 25 is a partial fundraiser for The Wanted Children Foundation.

The foundation, founded by Chilliwack resident Courtney Anderson, who is cur-

rently on the ground in Nigeria, provides a compassionate home in the country for orphans and vulnerable children who’ve faced loss and trauma in their lives.

Eventually, Anderson hopes to be able to build a compound with a school, medical facil-ity, and clean watering hole, in addition to the home.

The swap meet will

have an assortment of gently used children’s clothes, toys, and other such “garage sale” items.

The Sardis Falcons senior boys basket-ball team took on a Canadian heavyweight in the final of last week’s Abbotsford Snowball Basketball Tournament.

The Falcons faced Toronto’s Father Henry Carr Crusaders, ranked No. 2 in the entire coun-try.

The Ontarians won 79-60, but it was no cake-walk.

In early tournament games, the Crusaders had smacked around a pair of top-15 ranked BC teams, winning each game by 40+ points.

The Falcons kept it much closer, getting within 12 points in the

middle of the fourth quarter.

“With a few more layups and free-throws dropping, it might have been an even closer game,” said Sardis coach Kyle Graves.

After some quiet regular season play, Eric Rogers got back on track with a team-high 21 points.

Hayden Lejeune had 13 and Cam Servatius eight, and all three were named to the tourna-ment first all-star team.

Senior team cap-tain Grayden Northey earned player of the game honors with eight points and great defence.

“They’re a very good team. They battle, they work really hard, they shoot the ball really well, they’re disciplined, they’re well coached,” said Henry Carr coach Paul Melnick, when asked about the Falcons. “They’re just not as deep as us. They might just be one or two players short of mak-ing a real run at us. But you know what, we don’t want to get into a close game with them, because they make big shots and they make great decisions. They’re really poised in their basketball sense.”

Graves was thrilled with his team’s efforts

and hopes they carry a ton of momentum into regular season play.

“This game showed fans, the coaches and most importantly the players themselves that when we play with an intense focus to com-pete and outwork the other team we have a chance to beat any team in BC,” he said. “This tournament hopefully will be a spring board for a very successful next two months as we try to bring home a pro-vincial championship.”

Graves and crew visit Chilliwack Wednesday night for a 6 p.m. tipoff against the arch-rival Storm.

Falcons earning respect

Eric J. Welsh,The Progress

Just over one month away from the end of the BCHL regular sea-son, Chilliwack Chiefs coach and general manager Harvey Smyl is without a contract for next year.

Finishing up the last year of a two-year deal signed prior to the 2011-12 season, Smyl says no talks have been held between himself and Chiefs management.

“With the way things have been with the trade deadline and the play-off push and the new kids coming in, plus scouting, there’s really been no time for that,” Smyl says. “We’ve had budget meetings too. It’s been a really busy time.”

Speaking Tuesday morn-ing, one of the BCHL’s all-time winningest coaches says he’s not sure when talks will start.

“It’s not like we’re in the big leagues with agents that are pushing, so I don’t really know who would initiate it,” Smyl says. “It came up just before Christmas with (Chiefs president) Glen (Ringdal), where it was, ‘We’ll talk in January.’ And that’s been it.”

A playoff qualifier in every year he’s coached, Smyl is looking at maybe missing the postseason for the first time.

Though he’s still not waving the white flag, his team is 10-31-1-3 and 14 points behind the fourth place Surrey Eagles in the Mainland divi-sion race.

It would take a minor miracle for his team to be playing beyond the close of the regular season on March 1.

Smyl knows this season gives him little leverage in contract talks, but he hopes Chiefs ownership/management would look at his over-all body of work when making deci-sions.

“Our expectation going into this year was to be better than we are,” Smyl admits. “A lot better. Maybe we accelerated our positioning last year and did some things that maybe... usually there’s a progres-sion and because we accelerated, maybe that’s why we’re in the posi-tion we’re in today.”

Until he signed his most recent contract, Smyl always operated year to year on verbal deals. From the outside looking in, there was always

a sense that he had the job as long as he wanted it.

But Smyl says he never looked at it that way.

“That’s not the right mind-set to have in the job that I do,” he notes. “It’s the nature of the business that you’re only as good as your last game. I understand that, but I do hope they consider years prior.”

Speaking about this matter last week, Ringdal says he looks for-ward to sitting down with Smyl, and intended all along to do so after the trade deadline.

“Now is the time when we’ll start talking about it, see where he wants to go and what the short and long term situations are,” Ringdal says.

“We’ll absolutely discuss engaging him for as long as we can.”

Ringdal cautions that it’s not a simple matter of sitting down for lunch and ham-mering it out over a bowl of soup.

“There’s a lot to go into it when you talk about com-pensation and assistants and the whole mix,” he says. “There’s a bunch of stuff that comes into play and it takes a number of talks to

get it settled down where every-one’s comfortable. Harvey is one of the most spectacular coaches in the history of this league, so we abso-lutely want to have a full discussion to engage him long term.”

As the Chiefs prepare to celebrate their 25th anniversary next season, it would be strange to not include the man who was part of most, if not all, of the team’s major events.

“I’m proud of what this franchise has with history and tradition, and the players who’ve played here have nothing but fabulous things to say about the community,” Smyl says. “They’re proud to have been a part of the Chiefs family, and I’d cer-tainly like to be a part of celebrating 25 years.”

● On the ice, Smyl’s Chiefs suffered back to back weekend losses to the Coquitlam Express.

Chilliwack lost 4-2 in Coquitlam Friday, with Carter Cochrane and Matt Tibbet getting the goals.

The Chiefs lost 6-3 on home ice Saturday with Tibbet, Kyle Westeringh and Ben Butcher light-ing the lamp.

Chilliwack plays in Langley Friday, and home versus West Kelowna Sunday.

Ryan Bowen was hop-ing to make his Western Hockey League debut on the weekend, but circumstances dictated otherwise.

The 15 year old Chilliwack native was called up to join the Moose Jaw Warriors on a western road swing, but coach Mike Stothers opted to not

dress the rookie Friday night against a stacked Portland Winter Hawks squad.

And though they lost that game 8-2, they played well enough for Stothers to keep the lineup intact for a Saturday night game in Everett.

The road trip con-tinued Tuesday night

(after Progress dead-lines) with a stop in Seattle, and Bowen will have two more chances to get into the lineup this week when Moose Jaw visits the Tri-City Americans (tonight, Wednesday) and the Spokane Chiefs (Friday).

Fifteen year olds are limited to five games during the season.

In the meantime, the Chilliwack Minor

Hockey Association product is logging prac-tice time with the major junior team.

After this week he’ll return to Penticton and his Okanagan Hockey Academy midget prep team.

Bowen was Moose Jaw’s fifth round pick in last spring’s WHL ban-tam draft. He scored a goal in a 5-4 preseason loss against Swift Current.

Sardis secondary school’s junior girls basketball team beat Chilliwack 61-32 in a Monday night rivalry game.

Demi Weijdeman had 17 points and sunk three three-pointers. Talia Ferris had 11 points and Nicole Reid had 10.

“We ran the floor well, scored a ton of fast break points and it was an exciting game,” said former Sardis student and current coach Gina Graves. “I never had the chance to beat Chilliwack as a player, so it was a good feeling to beat them as a coach.”

Her team is 7-3 in league play and 17-5 overall. They have a few days off before playing St. John Brebeuf next Monday.

Their playoffs start Feb. 5.

obituaryNeed helppreparing an

Agatha was born and raised in Kenora, Ontario. After excelling in high school, she attended the University of Toronto Medical School where she met her husband to be, John Wilford. Following graduation, Agatha and John were married Dec. 22, 1945 and interned at St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto. They were both Offi cers in the Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps during WWII and were discharged in September 1946. Subsequently they moved to Chilliwack, BC and set up a busy general practice. Agatha was the fi rst woman doctor in Chilliwack.

For the past 12 years, Agatha had a number of health issues but faced them all with courage and dignity. Following a stroke in 2001, Agatha moved into the Waverley Seniors Village. The family wishes to thank all the staff for their excellent care and attention. Agatha remained a true lady in spite of her challenges.

Agatha loved nature, canoeing, gardening and reading but her main focus was her family; her children, her grandchildren and her new great grandson.

With her cousin Dorothy Ostrom Meyerhof, Agatha wrote a history of the Tate Family that is in the library of several genealogy societies including the Ontario Provincial Archives.

Agatha slipped away peacefully with John at her side. She is predeceased by her parents, Harry and Gertrude Tate and her grandson Johnny Wilford. She is survived by John, her husband of 68 years; four children, Susan (Gerry) Morrison of Kelowna, David (Kathy) of Smithers, Ted (Ann) of Nanaimo and Robert of Vernon; grandchildren, Tim Morrison, Chris (Rachel) Morrison, Michael Wilford, Jordan Wilford, Jessica (Brodie Guy) Wilford, James (Ayami) Campbell, Nikki Wilford and Max Wilford as well as her great grandson Kieran Morrison. Agatha also is survived by her cousin Dorothy Ostrom Meyerhoff (Tom) of Ottawa.

Funeral services will be held on Friday, January 24, 2014 at 2:30 pm from the Chapel of Henderson’s Funeral Home, 45901 Victoria Ave, Chilliwack, BC. In lieu of fl owers, please consider a donation to a charity of your choice.
