Candidates denied ‘voters’ list,’ Harrington claims
Jennifer FeinbergThe Progress
Dick Harrington, who plans to take another shot at city council, is accusing the current Chilliwack administration of denying democracy to candidates.
Harrington challenged mayor Sharon Gaetz on Wednesday to justify the “deci-sion to keep Chilliwack’s voters list secret.”
The retired educator and businessman alleged in a news release that his cam-paign has been “denied” access to the list of eligible voters in Chilliwack, which could be used to register or contact vot-ers about the issues.
But a City of Chilliwack spokesper-son said that contrary to Harrington’s accusations, mayor and council “are not involved in the administration of munici-pal elections and are unable to influence election officials in any manner.”
Carol Friesen was appointed Chief Election Officer last summer and is the one responsible for all aspects of the Chilliwack election.
Chilliwack follows “poll book” election procedures whereby voters register by signing a poll book rather than creat-ing and printing a voters’ list just for Chilliwack, which is why Harrington was unable to get a copy.
“This process saves the time and expense of refining the Provincial Voters’ List to coincide with our municipal boundaries and the cost of updating the list on a regular basis,” according to the news release by the city.
“The benefits to this method include a huge cost savings and a significant sav-ings in staff time.
“It also expedites the voting process, offering the greatest level of access to voters.”
Harrington said it was his understand-ing that the city “simply had to request the list” from Elections BC in order to share it with candidates, for example, and that refusing it was unacceptable.
Field to Fork set to foster local foodJennifer FeinbergThe Progress
Chilliwack is on its way to becoming a serious hub for foodies and locavores with its rich variety of fresh, local food.
Field to Fork 2014 starts next Wednesday across Chilliwack, emphasizing local food and showcasing it in local restau-rants.
“We’re back by popular demand,” said co-organizer Dale Johnson.
They have more restaurants and producers involved in Field to Fork this year, which runs Sept. 30 to Oct. 4.
Since the ‘Wack is known as the “Green Heart of B.C.” it only makes sense to crow a little about the abundance of agri-food products and farms that can be found in the area.
Cheam Trading Post on Highway 9 is one of the suppli-ers for Field to Fork 2014, said owner Darwin Douglas.
Cheam Trading was invited to supply smoked salmon for a dish to be served next week at Bravo Restaurant and Lounge on Yale Road.
“We love that they chose us,” said Douglas. “We’re excited to be a part of it.”
The local salmon stand, which
has also brought in Okanagan fruit, has been selling out its stock all summer long.
“Sales have been phenomenal and it’s been a whirlwind,” since they opened in June, he said.
The second season of Field to Fork pairs five Chilliwack res-taurants with Chilliwack area farmers and food producers to create exciting menu items. The promotional event dovetails with the increase in people wanting to know where their food comes from.
“The area is rich in agricul-ture and produces some of the best quality food anywhere in the world,” said Johnson. “Field
to Fork was created to bring better awareness to local con-sumers about all the many great food options that are available right here in Chilliwack.”
Jason Pettyjohn, who is co-organizer of Field to Fork, says his family already is entrenched in the locavore lifestyle. They substantially changed the way they live and eat.
“We now source the majority of our food from local farms,” he said. “We practise what we preach.”
Vita Bella Bistro is one of the five participating Chilliwack restaurants.

Emergency crews were on-scene at a collision on Highway 1 Wednesday after an eastbound vehicle rolled over just east of Annis Road. The driver, a pregnant woman, and a two-year-old were in the vehicle at the time but were able to get out without requiring the Jaws of Life. The two were taken to hospital with unknown injuries.

B.C. municipal leaders have nar-rowly voted to defeat a proposed resolution from Burnaby to oppose Kinder Morgan’s $5.4-billion oil pipeline twinning.
The issue went to an electronic vote Thursday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention after a show of hands was too close to call. The final vote was 49.3 per cent in favour of the resolution and 50.7 per cent opposed.
Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the pipeline project – which would triple the size of a tank farm near homes in Burnaby and result
in a seven-fold increase in oil tanker traffic through Burrard Inlet – is too risky.
He also argued the federal gov-ernment has no strategy to maxi-mize jobs in Canada by ensuring bitumen is refined here instead of in China.
“The risks of increasing oil tank-er traffic are all to the down side for the B.C. coast,” said Islands Trust chair Sheila Malcolmson. “We get no benefit, there’s no refining, no jobs for us, our salmon industry’s at risk, our tourism industry is at risk and our first responders who would be on the front lines are at risk.”
But delegates from communities
along the Thompson River said they fear a surge in oil tanker trains will run on the rail line through the region if the 60-year-old Kinder Morgan pipeline – which runs through Chilliwack – is not twinned to carry oil sands bitumen from Alberta.
“That can be used to move oil and there are no restrictions at all,” Clearwater Mayor John Harwood said.
Thompson-Nicola Regional District director Tim Pennell argued the current cleanup response capa-bility for a marine oil spill is very limited in the Vancouver area and the Trans Mountain project would bring a “huge improvement.”
After the vote, Corrigan said he was disappointed but insisted the split vote still sends a “strong mes-sage” of concern from B.C. civic leaders.
He said opposition came main-ly from self-interested rural B.C. delegates who are worried about increased oil-by-rail shipments and who greatly outnumber urban rep-resentatives at UBCM.
“It shows the scare tactic that’s been put out by these compa-nies has worked,” Corrigan said. “They’ve said they’re going to do it regardless, whether it goes by pipeline or by rail.”
But one of the ‘no’ votes against the resolution came from one of
Burnaby’s closest neighbours – Belcarra mayor Ralph Drew – who said rural communities are right to fear oil trains.
“We have to face the reality that the oil is going to move and that the increasing use of rail to move oil is probably a ten-fold greater risk than by pipeline,” Drew said in an interview.
“The rail lines that come to the west coast come down the Fraser canyon on either side of the Fraser River,” he said. “The potential for a derailment and a real disaster is much much greater than anything that could possibly happen in trans-portation by pipeline.”
Call to block oil pipeline expansion fails at UBCM
School board hopefuls begin coming forward
Heather Maahs is letting her name stand again for school trustee in the upcoming election.
“I am looking forward to serving a third term on the Chilliwack Board of Education and continue to help improve and build edu-cation excellence for our students,” she said.
Implementation of the Special Education Review, which she heartily endorsed, is something she hopes will continue to be implemented.
“I’m encouraged we now have a fully functioning and transparent finance/budget committee with employee groups, parents and community members.”
Maahs served as CUPE liaison and sat in on recent negotiations.
“I have also enjoyed meeting many teach-ers and parents who have brought their con-cerns, opinions and ideas to me. I am con-stantly impressed by their dedication, their enthusiasm and the innovative approach they bring for the children of Chilliwack and I hope to be in a position to be able help advance their cause.”
Walt Krahn also announced he will be running again on his Facebook page.
“I have decided to seek a second term as a School Trustee,” Krahn said. “Our students, teachers, staff and community are so impor-tant, and my focus is on providing young people every opportunity to build success.
He asked that people share his message that: “We are all in this together!”
First-time candidate Paul McManus, com-mercial account manager at Chilliwack Ford has also decided to run for school trustee. He’s been active in the school commu-nity as a coach, fundraiser and chair of the Promontory elementary school.
Dan Coulter is making plans to run for re-election.
“I have been a trustee for less than a year and I believe I have a lot more to offer so I’m running again.
“I’m really passionate about education and I want to continue to contribute.”
Chilliwack preparing to move forwardJennifer FeinbergThe Progress
Key factors to stimulate growth and change in Chilliwack’s downtown core — such as mixed-use development and effective density — are going under the microscope.
Economist Ryan Berlin, an expert in demographics, is coming to Chilliwack shortly to present some ideas at the ‘Chilliwack Moving Forward 2014-2040’ event on Oct. 3.
Berlin will zero in on how to start build-ing capacity for future Chilliwack devel-
opment through a series of commercial, industrial, and residential practices.
Following Ryan Berlin’s presentation, Walas Concepts’ reps will present on inno-vative practices in integrated development, founded on a belief “that a coherent com-plex of physical, structural and above all socio-economic conditions allow a city to develop a vital and dynamic community of urban life.”
Preserving authentic components of Chilliwack’s urban core are part of the Walas approach. Mixed use, effective den-sity and diversity are considered the “keys to success.”
It’s a holistic approach to redevelop-ment, uniting real estate, business, and the larger community.
Walas Concepts with offices in Vancouver, and in the Netherlands, are consultants specializing in breathing new life into downtowns with a glut of vacant buildings. Walas will focus on business development and attraction in the down-town, as well as boosting commercial occu-pancy.

TEETH-IN-AN-HOUR™ is a revolutionary concept providing patients with fully functioning teeth on dental implants in one single procedure that lasts about an hour. This technology was recently developed by Nobel Biocare and allows for collaboration between both the restorative doctor and the surgeon. This merging of knowledge and experience achieves not only increased safety, but also a more precise implant placement. In addition, the fabrication of a temporary prosthesis is completed prior to the surgery. The computer-guided implant surgery is done in an arthroscopic fashion without requiring any fl ap refl ection. This benefi ts the patient in that there is less postoperative discomfort, less swelling and less bruising. Patients can often resume their normal activities the next day.
The process starts when a CAT scan is taken of the patient’s jawbone. This CAT scan allows for the generation of a three-dimensional model of the jawbone that can then be used in virtual reality software to plan the implant placement without the presence of the patient. The results are more accurate implant placement, and less chair time for the patient at the surgery offi ce.

NewsCities want medical pot grow-operations revealedJeff NagelBlack Press
B.C. cities are once again demanding Health Canada give them the addresses of licensed medical mari-juana growers so they can mount inspections in the name of public safety.
The resolution from Abbotsford – a repeat of past years’ requests – was passed Wednesday by the Union of B.C. Municipalities conven-tion in Whistler, despite opposition from some delegates over privacy concerns.
Cities fear unpermit-ted alterations, illegal rewiring and mould pose a risk not just to current residents but those who may in the future buy former grow-ops that aren’t remedi-ated.
“The safety of our residents and the safety of people buying these homes has to be para-mount,” Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman told the convention.
The federal govern-ment is moving to a commercial mail order model of medical mari-juana production, but that strategy is on hold pending court chal-
lenges from medical pot users.
While Ottawa expects the legacy medical pot growers to voluntarily comply with the change and stop growing their own plants – if the new system is upheld – many cities doubt that will happen given the number of licensed users.
Banman said there are 829 licensed medical growers in Abbotsford and more than 900 – representing 20 per cent of the homes – in nearby Mission.
“That’s a lot of glau-coma in my books,” said Banman, who has
been a steady critic of the federal govern-ment’s refusal to iden-tify the sites.
He said there are just four Health Canada inspectors to check licensed medical home grows in all of western Canada, adding they could not inspect all of the licensed sites in Abbotsford alone if they were dedicated to his city for a year.
Metchosin Coun. Moralea Milne said if the more than 1,700 licensed medical grow-ers in Abbotsford-Mission are an indica-tion that “we should be legalizing that stuff if
that many people are growing it.”
Central Kootenay Regional District direc-tor Andy Shadrack agreed with calls for legalization and con-cerns around privacy.
“On no other health issue do we go into people’s homes and say you’re not doing things right.”
UBCM passed doz-ens of other resolutions Wednesday, including:• A Langley City call for the province develop a method to compensate cities for the time their firefighters spend on medical first responder calls that have increased as a result of provincial downgrading of ambu-lance response to lower priority 911 calls.• A Vancouver resolu-tion urging the province to regulate the party bus industry.• A call for Canada Post to delay its planned ter-mination of direct home mail delivery.• A request from Maple Ridge that the province exempt up to $300 a month of child support from income assistance clawback rules on earned income.
Safety trumps medical marijuana privacy con-cerns in UBCM debate.

“We need to give Chilliwack a clean sweep and elect a council that cares about democracy!”
Harrington also stated in the release that Mayor Gaetz could fix the situation “with a stroke of a pen” and that council was deliberately keeping people “in the dark.”
But that’s not the case, responded city officials.“There is deliberate separation between elect-
ed officials and the operation of the election to ensure there is no political interference in the process,” according to the city press release from Jamie Leggatt, communications manager for City of Chilliwack.
Council amended the Election Procedures Bylaw in 1996 in order to discontinue the use of the Provincial Voters’ List. Harrington’s request is in fact the first time anyone has sought out a copy of the voters’ list since changes were made to the local election procedures back in 1996.
The official nomination period is not even offi-cially open yet. It runs from Tuesday, September 30 at 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Friday, October 10. Although anyone can obtain nomination packages now, they cannot file them yet. Candidates will be confirmed by Friesen only once the nomination period closes.

Last Sunday’s climate march in the world’s major cities was a determined clarion call for govern-ments to get off their collective duff and act. Now. Some 2,000 demonstrations made noise in over 150 countries, all with one voice – action on climate change.
The People’s Climate March took over much of New York’s Manhattan Sunday where more than 120 heads of state gathered for Tuesday’s UN climate summit, a meeting designed to focus nego-tiations for a new strategy to man-age climate change. They’ve got just over a year to squabble their way to a new agreement set for December 2015 when signatory countries to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change meet in Paris. Maybe they can get beyond the endless blame-your-neighbour mentality and actually come up with a deal that works.
The number of countries repre-
sented was the largest ever at a cli-mate summit. But it was also nota-ble by the absences. PM Harper was a no-show as were heads of state from China, India and Russia.
In 2008, the top carbon dioxide (CO2) emitters were China, the United States, the European Union, India, the Russian Federation, Japan, and Canada.
M a r c h i n g with the throng of an estimated 300,000 people
in Manhattan was UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
“While marching with the peo-ple, I felt that I had become a Secretary-General of the people,” he said. “I am the Secretary-General of the United Nations; I am now working for the people.
Let’s work together to make this planet Earth environmentally sus-tainable so that our succeeding generations – children after chil-dren – will live peacefully.”
It’s daft arguing whether or not the climate is changing and the world is warming. Evidence is everywhere. It can be subtle like longer, hotter days, oppor-tunistic (for some) like melting sea ice opening up shipping lanes, or it can be catastrophic like last year’s supertyphoon Haiyan in the Philippines that packed sustained winds of 315 km/hour with gusts reaching 380 km/hour.
But we don’t have to look far for the record breakers.
“With mean temperatures at 21.45 �C, a record breaking 3.55 � above normal, it was the warmest August since Chilliwack records commenced in 1881,” said Roger Pannett, volunteer weather observ-er for Environment Canada. “It
was the 14th consecutive year with mean temperatures for the month above normal, primarily because of the abnormally warm nights.”
Up to August 31st, the 2014 precipitation total is 902.7 mm on 115 days compared to the average of 1,047.8 mm on 106 days, Pannett said.
This year the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued its Climate Change 2014 Report addressing impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability. The breakdown is indeed dire. It listed five inte-grated reasons for concern that illustrated the implications of warming and the limitations of people, economies, and ecosys-tems. They include the danger and destruction of extreme weather events, the uneven distribution of impacts for disadvantaged people, the potential for collapse of unique ecosystems, aggregate economic damage as temperatures rise, and
the complexities of large-scale sin-gular events.
These massive events include the collapse of Arctic ecosystems through sea-ice melt and the destructive bleaching of warm-water coral reefs in which heat stress damages the algae living symbiotically inside the corals leading to coral death. It all feeds back into the loss of biodiversity, human health, food production, water supply, security risks, and human migration and displace-ment due to storm surges, coastal flooding and sea level rise.
We are already starting to see these events. Major hurricanes, storms, floods, crippling heat and drought are far more frequent.
“There is no Plan B because we do not have Planet B,” said Ban Ki-moon last Sunday. “We have to work and galvanize our action.”
Yes, we do.
Turning up the heat on climate change actionLOCALLY GLOBAL
Promises, promisesHere’s a simple request for candi-
dates seeking election in the upcom-ing school board and municipal elec-tion: Only promise what you can deliver.
That might seem an obvious request. But all too often, candidates vow to achieve things they clearly cannot. They either fail to provide the true cost of their promise, or they promise something outside the legal mandate of the office they seek.
Call it exuberance. Call it igno-rance. Either way it doesn’t serve the voter and it disrespects the pro-cess.
For example, there are some fair-ly severe limits on what a city can and cannot do.
It must work within the provincial legislation that governs its existence. A promise to silence every train whistle within the city boundaries might sound attractive, but trains are a federal responsibility. City council can’t make them do anything.
Likewise, a promise by a school board candidate to hire more teach-ers won’t happen without an expla-nation of where the money to pay for those new employees will come from. School districts (unlike the federal or provincial government, or even a city), cannot, by provincial
law, run a deficit.Which brings up the second point:
Money.Rarely does a promise come with-
out a cost, and candidates have an obligation to identify what that cost will be.
A promise to double the number of parks in the city, for example, might draw support. But what will it cost to maintain those parks, and what impact will the removal of that land from the tax base have on city finances?
A promise to cut taxes, or at least hold them at zero, must also include details on where the cuts in services will be made (or alternate revenue found) to accommodate that plan.
None of this is to suggest can-didates can’t have ideas or voice creative and imaginative solutions to the problems communities like Chilliwack face. But they have an obligation to voters to ensure that what they promise is practical – or even possible.
And we as voters have the respon-sibility to do the research and ask the tough questions to ensure these lofty ideas have some grounding in reality.

■ THE PIPES MARKING HISTORY
The sound of the bagpipes echoed through the streets of downtown Chilliwack Saturday, help-ing mark the 100th anniversary of the formation of the United Empire Loyalists in Canada. Dan McDermid set the mood, perched above Spadina Ave. outside Chilliwack’s historic former city hall, now the Chilliwack Museum. GREG KNILL/ THE PROGRESS
See the people behind the labelI read carefully the letter
regarding habitation of the area under the Yale Road overpass (Homeless camp a cause for con-cern, Chilliwack Progress, Sept. 17).
It was a very well thought-out letter that addressed the author’s concerns, thank you. I do won-der, however, if in reading your letter you are aware that your
concern for the people impacted by the ‘homeless camp’ you com-pletely neglected to express con-cern for the human beings who are homeless and respond to this situation by making do with the resources at hand.
The labelling we do as modern humans cuts us off from one another. That a person exists is reason enough to be offered
compassion and due concern. That someone “produces an economic output” is one of the poorest rulers against which we measure an individual’s value.
Don’t change the situation, change what in yourself resists a human reaction to it. What in you stops seeing a human being?
Denny Cote
It is with a gloomy heart that I read the recent letter about ‘the home-less problem’ (Homeless camp a cause for concern, Chilliwack Progress, Sept. 17).
I too am concerned about the homeless down-town, but not for the same reasons she is. She speaks about them like some species of large rat that learned to stand up and wear clothing, rather than actual human beings.
Her letter concludes
with her wondering if the ‘revitalization’ downtown has ‘simply shifted the homeless problem here.’ She expresses interest in hearing the views of oth-ers.
Well, what did you expect? That ‘revitalizing’ downtown was just going to make all those poor peo-ple disappear? Just what do you expect them to do?
You want my view? I think your view is shock-ingly dehumanizing.
Cale Esau
The other day a contractor came to my door and informed me that he was going to build a deck onto the back of my home. I informed him that I did not ask for a deck and that I do not want one. At that point he informed me that he would be charging me a $65 “failed deck installation charge.”
Now obviously that did not happen. Why it is obvious speaks for itself.
Yet that is exactly what BC Hydro and our provincial government are doing to those individuals who have chosen not to take a smart meter. When our government behaves like criminals, is there any wonder why so many are failing to show up at polls at election time?

NewsNew board chair for Fraser Health
Jeff NagelBlack Press
A Fraser Valley business executive and former nurse is the new board chair of the Fraser Health Authority.
Karen Matty will replace Wynne Powell, the chair of the Provincial Health Services Authority, who has served as interim chair at Fraser since the province decided in April
to remove then-board chair David Mitchell.
Health Minister Terry Lake had said he wanted “fresh eyes” and new leadership as Fraser Health implements the recommendations of a strate-gic and operational review.
The review, which was released over the summer, targeted new ways to cut unnecessary use of hospital emergency rooms in favour of improved primary and com-munity care.
Lake also raised the possi-bility of shifting Burnaby into the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority as well as closer col-laboration between the two health regions as they work
to rebuild St. Paul’s and Royal Columbian hospitals.
Matty has served as a Fraser Health director since 2012 and takes over from Powell at the end of October.
Matty’s background includes a career in nursing in Williams Lake and president of Matsqui Developments, a family-owned real estate and lumber business in the Fraser Valley.
She received the Order of Abbotsford in 2011 and has served on other boards, including the Abbotsford Foundation, Abbotsford Police Board and University of the Fraser Valley.
Fraser Health is still search-
ing for a permanent CEO. Dr. David Ostrow is serving on an interim basis since Dr. Nigel Murray resigned as CEO to return to New Zealand.

A century ago, Fraser Valley families were sending their young men off to war, some with a sense of optimism that they would be home by Christmas, others with a
taste for adventure and a desire to see the world. Some felt a sense of loy-alty to Mother England and her British Empire that compelled them to travel thousands of kilo-
meters to a continent they’d never seen. It was the first Canadian expe-dition to the battlefields of Europe. Women also joined the war effort as nurses or homefront vol-
unteers. The next four years
redefined war, intro-duced a new level of car-nage wrought by modern weaponry, changed the geopolitical landscape,
and helped Canada mature as a nation.
Those who stayed home were affected too, including families and towns that had to cope with almost no men in
an era when their labour was crucial on farms and in factories, and mem-bers of ethnic groups who were not allowed to join up.
This fall, the University
of the Fraser Valley is looking back at this defin-ing moment in Canadian history with Great War Day: Local Experiences and Legacies. The event will be held on Friday, Oct. 3, in the Envision Athletic Centre on the UFV Abbotsford campus. Admission is free and the public is welcome. Member of the public are also invited to participate as exhibitors.
The one-day event will feature memorabilia dis-plays, historical artifacts, military or civilian repre-sentations, local memo-ries and commemorative projects, and personal stories.
At Great War Day, members of the public are invited to:• Learn about how diverse groups of people in the Fraser Valley par-ticipated directly or indi-rectly in the First World War• Learn about the imme-diate and longer term impacts of the war on local life• Share with other Fraser Valley residents and com-munities their personal or familial reflections on the impact and legacies of the war.
Local museums and archives from Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack will also be presenting their commu-nity’s experiences of the war.
“The centenary of the Great War is being recog-nized in a huge variety of ways all over the world,” said Robin Anderson, an associate profes-sor of history at UFV. “Organizers of these events have been careful not to suggest this is a ‘celebration’ of the war, since this was arguably the most brutal conflict in history. But all also recognize and agree that we cannot and should not forget the Great War. Few events in his-tory have been as forma-tive as the war between 1914-1918 -- we live in a world that was shaped by it. Great War Day is a modest attempt to under-stand this enormously important event and how it shaped the lives of peo-ple in the Fraser Valley.”

NewsAboriginal title ‘a first step,’ UBCM toldTom FletcherBlack Press
WHISTLER – Canada’s first declaration of aboriginal title is the first of many to come across B.C. and it should be viewed as a step forward for relations with the province and local governments, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention were told Tuesday.
A standing-room-only crowd of local politicians heard a sum-mary of the June decision of the Supreme Court of Canada declar-ing title to 1,700 square kilome-tres of the Nemiah Valley near Williams Lake. The title area is no longer considered Crown land.
Alexis Creek First Nation Chief Percy Guichon called the land-mark Tsilhqot’in Nation case “the first step to reconciliation” between aboriginal and non-aboriginal com-munities.
“For far too long, provincial and federal governments have some-how minimized First Nations’ rights,” Guichon told delegates. “It only has brought on negatives, such as legislating us to pover-
ty on these small areas they call reserves.”
Vancouver lawyer Gregg Cockrill said the declaration of title on Tsilhqot’in lands may be the most significant court decision in B.C. history, and there will be many more to come, either by court rulings or treaties that define areas of aboriginal title.
For areas not subject to title declarations, local governments do not have the same legal obligation
to consult First Nations as the fed-eral and provincial governments do, Cockrill said.
Xeni Gwet’in Chief Roger William, whose Tsilhqot’in com-munity was the subject of the landmark case, said the next step is to build a positive relationship with the B.C. government. William praised Premier Christy Clark’s decision to be the first B.C. pre-mier to visit his territory, and to agree to return in October to mark the 150th anniversary of the hang-ing of Tsilhqot’in chiefs in Quesnel during colonial times.
William, also an area director of the Cariboo Regional District, said the next step is to develop Tsilhqot’in laws to govern resource development.
In the wake of the federal government’s rejection of a gold mine project in the region, the Tsilhqot’in Nation has developed a draft mining policy. Guichon said the draft has been presented to governments and industry for their input, and the goal is to work cooperatively on resource develop-ment as has been done in the for-est industry in the region.

The Chilliwack & District Real Estate Board is marking 50 years in the community by presenting a “legacy sculpture” called Visions to the people of Chilliwack.
CADREB was first incorporated in 1964 and the modern sculpture to be unveiled Saturday will be installed at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.
CADREB and its members believe in the importance of quality of life, and subscribe to the philosophy that “what is good for the community is good for real estate,” said board
spokesman Steve Lerigny. “CADREB sees this sculpture as
a contribution to move this vision forward.”
The unveiling will include Mayor Sharon Gaetz, MLA Laurie Throness, as well as members of the Chilliwack Public Art Advisory Committee chaired by Coun. Stewart McLean. Artist Jim Unger created the sculp-ture that he titled, Visions. It incor-porates nine copper frames on a tree-like structure, which “encourages the viewer” to imagine the past, present and future of Chilliwack.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a mental health interven-tion developed by Dr. Marcia Linehan that teaches skills in five main areas, including emotional regulation, distress tolerance, inter-personal effectiveness, mindfulness, and walk-ing the middle path.
The therapy was developed for people who struggle emotional and relational reactivity, however many of the skills are helpful when applied to all of us who think, feel, and have relationships.
Validation is a key skill that can be used in any relationship because it gives the message that the per-son and their message have value – even when holding differing views. In DBT, there are six levels of validation. The first level of validation uses non-verbal cues like making eye con-tact, nodding, saying, “Uh huh.”
The second level uses basic reflection, or mirroring, to commu-nicate that you are lis-tening to the words the other person is saying. For example, “It sounds like the manager was using a loud voice.”
The third level of vali-dation aims a bit deeper
and consists of trying to understand how the other person might be feeling or what he or she may be think-ing, such as, “Was that intimidating?”
T h e f o u r t h level is based on building a con-nection between how a cur rent reaction may be r e l a t e d
to past events, like, “You’ve hated yelling since you were young.”
Level five is about giving the message that the person’s response is understandable, per-haps by saying some-thing like, “I think most people feel uncom-fortable when getting yelled at.”
Lastly, level six requires the other per-son to be genuinely regarded with caring and respect. Levels one through five won’t be nearly as helpful if you believe the person in front of you isn’t your equal or of value.
Validating a person is not the same as agree-ing with their opinion. I can still recognize the value and worth of
someone with whom I disagree on a topic; I can even understand and appreciate why they may hold that opinion. But I can still hold on to my belief and standards at the same time.
Or, I can understand why a kid may have pushed a classmate as a response to taunt-ing without agreeing it was the ideal response. The important thing is that the other person’s feelings and perspec-tives are legitimate and understandable points of view.
Practicing validation skills in a relationship reassures the other person that whatever the topic of conversa-tion, he or she –and the relationship itself – are important.
This is a particularly useful message when the conversation is challenging, or might spark some strong negative feelings. Use these skills, and watch the quality of your interactions improve; your spouse, child, colleague, and neigh-bour will thank you. Validation helps move conversation from a tug-of-war to a smoothly running flow.
Relationships can be challenging and have their ups and downs, but using validation can make them more rewarding and with fewer misunderstand-ings.

Jenna HauckThe Progress
Sometimes an act of kindness that is second-nature to one person can mean the world to another.
I learned this firsthand while in Ottawa earlier this month where I heard stories from a handful of blood recipients, and met dozens of fellow award winners, during the Canadian Blood Services Honouring Our Lifeblood ceremo-ny.
Celia Missios was one of the blood recipients who spoke during the awards gala. She told the story of when she was struck by a car while crossing a street. She ended up needing more than 50 units of blood.
One mother, Liset Stanton, shared her story of her son Daniel.
Diagnosed with leukemia at the age of six, his life was saved by a donation of umbilical cord blood.
Another recipi-ent’s story, shown on video, explained that she needed 86 units of blood.
Their stories were heartwarm-ing. Each recipient expressed sincere gratitude towards the award winners in the room.
I realized at that point, after years of being a blood donor, that I had not heard many stories about the recipients of donor blood and blood products. And though it didn’t bother me at all, I was never able to put a face to who might have received
my blood.I’d go donate blood, have some
tea and cookies, go home again, and then return eight weeks later to donate again. It was simple.
Last year, after my friend and coworker Penny Lett (who was also an avid blood donor and who encouraged me to donate) passed away, I wanted to do something more. Something to help others. Something selfless. Something Penny would do.
So I organized the In Memory of Penny Lett blood drive. Thanks to Chilliwack donors, it was much more successful than I ever could have imagined. We collected 420 units of blood — far more than our goal of 125 units.
That was the reason I was in Ottawa receiving an award.
But despite the success of the
blood drive, I always said it was “no big deal.”
I was one of 28 peer recruit-ers, milestone donors, volunteers, corporate partners, and others to be recognized in Ottawa on Sept. 15. The night before the awards, each recipient stood up and spoke briefly about their story and why they were there.
As the stories kept coming, I noticed a common thread.
Humbleness.Every person who spoke hinted
at, or flat out said, that what they had accomplished and the reason they were there receiving a nation-al award from CBS was “no big deal.”
They sounded like me.Many started off by saying
“I haven’t really done much” or “everyone here has a better story
than I have.”But they were wrong. I was
wrong. It was a big deal.There was Glyn Weir who has
donated 500 times. There was Michael T. Hayes, the living organ donor, who donated a portion of his liver and then later, one of his kidneys. There was Morley Reid who has volunteered more than 5,000 hours of his time to sup-port patients in need. There was Melanie Melchin who, after los-ing her six-year-old son to a brain tumour, started the Donate for Nolan blood drive last year where she recruited several new donors and collected 103 units of blood.
Many numbers were flying around the room — numbers of volunteer hours, numbers of
Putting a face to those helped by blood donations
Liset Stanton tells the story of her son Daniel’s battle with leukemia who was a recipient of umbilical cord blood. Daniel strung one bead for every time he went for chemotherapy on this single piece of string (pictured).

donations made, num-bers of units of blood collected.
And again, people were saying that the numbers were “no big deal”, that the numbers “didn’t matter.”
But they did matter.Every unit of blood
counts. Every unit makes a difference in someone’s life.
Blood donors will likely never meet a sin-gle person who they’ve helped. But, fellow donors, understand that the recipients are very thankful for what you do. You do make a dif-ference.
So please keep donat-ing, keep recruiting, keep volunteering. And encourage others to do the same.
Announce on social media that you’re donat-ing blood and ask a friend or two to join you.
Don’t be shy to post
a selfie on Instagram or Twitter or Facebook while you’re donating — be proud!
The more we spread the word about the need for donated blood, let’s hope the more peo-ple will donate.
In Memory of Penny Lett blood drive 2014
The pledge for this year’s blood drive is to collect 500 units. As of Sept. 22, we are current-ly at 455 units of blood, and I have no doubt that we will reach our goal.
Chilliwack donors, thank you for giving your time and blood to help us reach our goal, but more importantly, thank you for helping save people’s lives.

Over 116 million Dutch flower bulbs have now made their way into Canadian garden stores, import warehouses and green-house coolers. As a matter of fact, Canada is the ninth largest Dutch bulb importing country in the world. I’m sure it would be no surprise if I were to tell you that tulips are the number one bulb we import. You might be interested to hear that gladiolas are right behind and then, way down in quantities but still important, are lilies, hyacinths, narcis-sus, irises, crocuses, amaryllis, dahlias, freesias and anemones. The high numbers of some of these bulbs may seem rather odd to the home gardener, but don’t forget, many of these bulbs such as lilies, irises and freesias are grown-on by green-house operators for cut flower production. It is, however, becoming more apparent to me each year that we are overlooking some of the very finest bulbs, and they are right under our noses.
We tend to overem-phasize tulips, daffodils and hyacinths in our gardens, while ignor-ing other bulbs which are actually better long term investments. A visit to Keukenhof, Holland’s famous spring garden, opened my eyes to the use of minor bulbs. Muscari (grape hyacinths) were used very effectively as borders, underplantings and as drifts of color under trees and shrubs. There are many variet-ies but ‘Muscari arme-niacum’ is, by far, the most impressive for mass displays.
Muscari are hardy in all zones and will toler-ate little or no water in summer. This makes
them ideal for plant-ings under large trees where moisture is often a problem. They prefer full sun or partial shade. These bulbs look very effective when mass planted by themselves
or used as a contrast with other spring bloom-ing peren-nials, bulbs or flow-ering
shrubs. Muscari are longlasting, have great weather tolerance, and they don’t look messy as do so many other bulbs when they finish flowering.
Most gardeners plant and enjoy lots of the standard yellow, white, blue and striped crocus, but the sweetly scented species varieties are being overlooked. Crocus chrysanthus provide us with some of the most beautiful and interesting crocus colors.
For a yearly repeat performance, the earli-est bulbs to bloom are
the yellow aconites (Eranthis hyemalis) and beautiful snowdrops. Both perennialize nicely and create a more lovely display year after year. The yellows and whites really pop in late winter, lifting our spirits and announcing that spring is on its way!
The old fashioned bluebells that so many European folks ask for are actually scillas or squills. All of them flower in clusters on leafless stalks and have either bell-shaped or star-like flowers. I like them best planted in informal groupings among shrubs, decidu-ous trees or low-grow-ing perennials. They are great in pots too and you know, scillas make lovely cut flowers for tiny bouquets. Scilla siberica seems to be the most popular because of its intense blue, three to six inch flower spikes. If you can find it, Scilla tubergeniana is also popular because it blooms very early with the snowdrops.
The real sleeper in all the minor bulbs is Anemone blanda. These look for all the world like miniature
daisies, and I was absolutely in awe when I saw how they were being used in Keukenhof Gardens. The variety called ‘White Splendor’ was used in massive bor-ders and underplant-ings with virtually every type of tulip and narcissus which blooms during their long flow-ering period. Their white color tended to lift all the other colors, and when contrasted with the rich green lawns, they were sen-sational. Anemone blanda comes in many colours, but the new varieties ‘Blue Shades’, ‘Pink Star’ and ‘White Splendor’ have lovely bright colors. The mixed varieties look great too. You will find these anemones most pleasing when you plant them under Japanese azaleas, dwarf rhodo-dendrons and Japanese maples.
There are still many of these great little minor bulbs we have yet to discover, but I suggest you give the ones I’ve mentioned a try. You won’t be disap-pointed.

DrivewayCanada.ca | Welcome to the driver’s seat
Journey to a sparkling luxury Okanagan resortThe Dodge Journey is a versatile crossover vehicle that easily trans-forms from a weekday workhorse to a luxury weekend-getaway vehicle.In recent years, yours truly has had the opportunity to put suc-ceeding models of the seven-seat-er through the daily paces around Metro Vancouver, hauling human cargo and on one occasion toting many boxes while helping one of my kids move home!I now see that four lucky readers put a Dodge Journey’s week-end-getaway abilities to the test, during a stay at the luxurious Sparkling Hill Resort, which is nes-tled in the mountains near Vernon (see contest details on this page).The accommodation, which is truly a health and wellness destination, will certainly not disappoint. I stayed there recently while attending a new car launch. The facilities at Sparkling Hill’s KurSpa are incredible, offering more than 100 different spa treatments.The 40,000 square-foot European-inspired spa is the largest spa in Canada, featuring seven
aromatherapy, steam and sauna rooms, hot pool, outdoor infinity pool and an indoor salt-water serenity pool with underwater music and Swarovski crystal night sky! The adventurous among the foursome should brave North America’s first European Cy-rotherapy Cold Sauna. There will be a moment during the sub-zero temperature stage when one’s sanity will be questioned but the afterglow will be worth it!Anyway, I’m the car guy not health advisor so here are some tips on how and where to get the most out of the Journey for the weekend. I’ve done quite a bit of wine research in the area so we’ll start there…a designated driver will be required!One of my nearby favourites is
Arrowleaf Cellars, a family operated winery located nearby at 1574 Camp Road, in Lake Country. It specializes in cool-climate wines and I recommend the Bacchus (arrowleafcellars.com). Next door is the Ex Nihilo Winery, which has an awesome building and a very crisp Ries-
ling (exnihilovineyards.com). A few minutes’ drive along Camp Road brings you to the Gray Monk Estate Winery and ideal lunch spot. Many photo opps along the way and still more from the vantage point of the deck, which overlooks lush vineyards stretching down to Okanagan Lake. The Meadery at Planet Bee, 5011 Bella Vista Road, Vernon, is an intriguing spot. There they make “Honeymoon Mead”, an ancient drink made from fermented honey and water and dubbed the Beverage of Love” (planetbee.com).Downtown Vernon has transformed large 27 blank walls into colourful artists’ canvases depicting Vernon’s rich heritage. They can be viewed either with a guide or you can pick up a self-guided tour booklet. Just a few man-made spots. The northern and central Okanagan’s natural beauty is evident at every turn of the wheel but I would highly recommend a stop above Kalamalka Lake to look down the Coldstream valley. You know, you don’t need to win this prize to enjoy this beautiful area. We’ll carry a review of the Sparkling Hills week-end and drive aboard the Journey in a future edition of Driveway.

END OF MONTH SPECIALS
Volkswagen has had an impressive ride here during the past few years, gaining market share and selling record numbers of cars – its best-selling car being the Jetta. When the last VW Jetta was introduced in 2011, it repre-sented a major shift in the company’s sales philosophy. The decision was to make a larger sedan, yet drop the
price to compete right in the heart of Canada’s com-pact segment, our largest sales category. With a start-ing price under $15,000 the Jetta is the biggest car in the compact class, offering a gateway into owning a German car, yet having the space and comfort North Americans expect. For 2015 VW continues with the same philosophy but ups
the ante to include new engines, styling and interior amenities.Looks: It would be easy to overlook the substan-tial updates to this new Jetta because the exterior tweaks are so subtle they need pointing out. The front grille, bumper and headlamps have all been replaced to include a bigger air opening and LED marker
lights, plus xenon head-lights are available. The back also receives a minor update that includes a new bumper, trunk and tail lamps. With a starting price of $14,990, the Trendline comes with hubcaps on 15-inch wheels. The midlevel $20,090 Comfortline can be equipped with 16-inch alloy wheels and the $25,490 Highline is fi tted with 17-inch alloys. Then there are the TDI diesel versions that range from $22,490 to $27,790. Volkswagen has a wide range of prices, equip-ment and engine choices to suit. The most popular is the Trendline Plus at $17,190 that includes the must have…heated front seats!Inside: What isn’t obvious on fi rst inspection is just how far the Jetta interior has come unless you know the previous model. It was a practical car but hardly luxurious or even sporty – spartan might be a good word. That has all changed with the new 2015 model thanks to new switches and dials that looks and
feel fi rst rate. The upper dash on all but the base Trendline is now fi tted with soft-touch materials and the base model even comes with a 6.5-inch touchscreen that also doubles as a backup camera. Bluetooth is optional on the Trendline plus but becomes standard on Comfortline and above. The top highline features leather, a bigger 8-inch screen and push button start. What all Jetta’s come standard with is a huge back seat, massive trunk and plenty of room side-to-side. This really is a mid-size car that starts at a compact car price.Drive: The drive event for the all-new Jetta was held in Middleburg Virginia, which I later discovered is in the wealthiest county in the United States. Huge homes on rolling farms, with stone fences and colo-nial designs reminds visitors that this is historic country;
Middleburg witnesses ac-tion during the Gettysburg campaign of the American Civil War. The Salamander Resort was the backdrop for the introduction, an equestrian themed luxury resort that would make any new car look good. Surrounding it are rolling hills and winding roads, a perfect place to exercise the new suspen-sion and engines in the Jetta. The previous car was recently updated to a full independent suspension and that carries over, as do disc brakes on all four wheels. The big news is a new 1.8L direct injection, turbocharged 4-cylinder with 170hp but an impres-sive 185 lb.-ft of torque. Speaking of torque, the new TDI diesel engine pumps out a whopping 236 lb-ft of torque and now comes with “AdBlue” exhaust after treatment to improves tailpipe emissions by forty percent.Verdict: After driving both the new engines back to back I’d be hard pressed to
choose. I love the torque of the diesel and the impres-sive effi ciency. (It is rated at just 6.7L/100km in the city and 4.7L on the highway.) But the new turbo gasoline engine is a more spir-ited unit provides a more enthusiastic experience. This engine delivers 8.1L/100km in the city and 5.6L on the highway. If I drove a lot, the diesel would be the way to go, but for more, fun the new 1.8L is impressive. Still in the mix is the old 2.0L 4-cylinder with 115hp offered in all Trendline and Comfortline models. This engine has been around since Moses was a boy, but it is a proven engine and of-fers a great starting price.At fi rst glance the 2015 Jetta looks like a warmed over update but below the surface is substantial change. The highlights are the new interior and wonderful optional engines. Diesel or gas? – That’s a tough decision.zack.spencer@drivewaybc.

TOP SALESMAN OF THE MONTH
One nice hot sunny day in August found me in the Upper Squamish valley, four wheeling and fi shing along the river. Nothing out of the ordinary happened until a fi sh and wildlife offi cer pulled up next to my truck, walked over to the river bank to ask me how the fi shing was go-ing. I showed him one Dolly Varden trout that was about 12 lbs and told him I hadn’t had a bite for the past hour. He smiled, wished me good luck and warned me to be careful, as there has been bears in the area including a grizzly. I smiled and said thanks. Two minutes after he left, I was looking over my shoulder every thirty
seconds. I decided to pack up and try somewhere else. I climbed back into my truck and proceeded down the road. The conditions were very dusty and the narrow logging road was covered in a heavy coating of dust. A short way up the road I felt a sneeze coming on. I pulled over and proceeded to sneeze. The vehicle windows were down and it was loud enough to echo through the dust covered tall grass to the left of me. To my surprise, a black bear stood up in the tall grass. He must have been two metres tall judging from the height of my truck. The massive bear strained to see through the dust and make out where the noise came from, lifting his noise in an attempt to pick up my scent. I watched him for about a minute although it seemed like an hour had past. As quickly as he popped up, he was down again and out of sight.I wanted to make sure he was gone before I moved on, so I gave a toot on my horn. Up goes the massive bear again looking around. He was a lot closer this time, so I laid into the horn and revved up my engine. At fi rst he continued to stand tall but soon realized it wasn’t worth the effort to continue. He darted off and
I watched him head back towards the river. I contin-ued on the road for another 10 minutes and around a tight corner, still thinking about the bear when all of
a sudden I see a big patch of black sprinting in front of my truck. I eased up on the throttle and watched an-other bear running down the road. He was quite scared
so I gave him lots of room. He jumped off the road and down a steep hill taking out several small trees on the way down. I felt a little sorry for him having to do that. I
couldn’t see him anymore but I was sure he was ok. The idea of fi shing was suddenly less appealing. After all two bears in one day were enough. I usually
do not see any. The two-hour drive back produced another four bears in different posi-tions along the road. The moral of this story four-wheeling is fun but be

An encounter with a back bear in the backwoods
‘‘The massive bear strained to see through the dust and make out where the noise came from, lifting his noise in an attempt to pick up my scent.’’Ian Harwood
Close encounter of the black bear kind.
Perhaps if car manufacturers stopped installing self-cancel-ling turn signals, we would see less rage at the crossroads when a driver realizes it’s not fl ashing and fl icks it on at the green. Am I being naïve in assuming it was mechanical rather than human error?

Ganaraska Forest, ON. – “Remember, the trees don’t move,” coaches Al Lakas, chief instructor at Trail Tours.These words offer some solace but little consolation to the confi nes of singe-track riding.
Claustrophobia is not a regularly referenced noun in my vocabulary, but when the local fauna and fl ora of the Ganaraska Forest are a hair’s length from your body, and the trail is inches wider than the handlebars of your bike,
it’s hard to ignore. The Medusa-like temptation to fi xate on upcoming vegeta-tion must be overcome. If you do happen to focus on them, it could be game over.“Oh, shoot, there’s a stum…” Thud.
There goes the front end of your bike and probably you.If you look down, your handlebars might do a jig-like dance, and chances are, that’s where you end up. Down.Breathing through the anxiety is one way of conquering
the trails. Another is a strong foundation in riding. But the most important of them all: vision.Before heading out onto the over 300 kilometres of trails nestled within the 11,000 acres of Ganaraska Forest,
Trail Tours instructor Al gives my riding partner and I a les-son in a much less confi ning location.Thank goodness.Nestled in the heart of the seemingly limitless dirt biking and motorized vehicle play-
ground is Trail Tours (www.trailtour.com.) It’s just over an hour’s drive east from Toronto and well worth the short-haul journey. After parking the car and walking a few paces through a trail, the world gets a little brighter. Literally and metaphorically.The sinewy trees that lead us to home base doesn’t let in a ton of light, so at the end of the trail, where Trail Tour’s open fi eld training facility stands before me, the sun overfl ows like a perfectly-iced cake.Also, I’m going dirt biking. How could that not brighten your day?Whether you’re a fi rst timer or an experienced rider, they have a program for you.Though this wasn’t my fi rst rodeo in terms of dirt riding, it was in regards to single-track.I could use all the tips and tricks I could get.Day 1 of the two-day adven-ture consisted of making sure the techniques for single-track riding were fresh in our minds. It’s best just to ignore the trees or whatever hazards engulf you and the bike. Acknowledge them, but don’t stare. Otherwise, your fate will likely be sealed.After practicing in the various loops – there are different ar-eas of their facility that cater to different techniques – it was off to the practice trail.Needless to say, I was not setting any speed records but it wasn’t about speed. That comes with time and experience. It was getting used to the fact that I didn’t have a lot of wiggle room and that my mind would want to play tricks on me if I didn’t relax, let the bike and myself breathe, and enjoy the best that machine and Mother Nature have to offer.Day 2 was a game changer. I was so happy that I did some basic skills the day before because I embraced the various tones and textures of the perpetually evolving geography around me.Rocks, gravel, soil, sand (oh, there was a lot of sand), steep inclines, tree stumps, sharp corners, you name it, the Ganaraska Forest has it.Though I didn’t go at it alone. Groups were organized by skill level and were lead by
Getting dirty in the Ganaraska Forest

Buy now and park it until next spring! With cooler weather ahead, fall can be an opportune time to snag a great deal on that dream-ride convertible you’ve always wanted to own, like the soft-top edition of Chevro-let Camaro. Chevrolet introduced an all-new Camaro Coupe for the 2010 model year and the Camaro Convertible followed a year later. While it shares many similar styling details, this modern day rebirth of Camaro is longer and wider than the celebrated original ‘67, of the “muscle car” era. Big wheels (18-inch to mas-sive 21-inch rim sizes) are an important design feature of new Camaro and it’s a little taller.The 2011 Camaro Convertible was offered in just LT and SS trim levels. The LT comes with a lightweight and powerful “LFX” 3.6-litre V6 engine. It can generate 323 horsepower and is mated to either a six-speed manual transmission or a six-speed automatic. Re-vised and more realistic new fuel economy (auto) ratings are 12.9 L/100km in city and 8.1 L/100km on highway. A potent 6.2-litre V8 engine (from the Corvette) lies under the hood of Camaro SS. When paired with a six-speed manu-al it’s tuned to pump out 425 horsepower. A 400 horsepow-er edition of this same engine (with more low-speed torque and a fuel saving cylinder deactivation system) is paired
with a six-speed automatic transmission. The revised fuel rating for Camaro SS (auto) is 14.9 L/100km in city and 9.5 L/100km on highway.There is a key engineering dif-ference between Chevrolet’s Camaro and, its nemesis, the
Ford Mustang. While both vehicles send gobs of engine power to the rear wheels, Mustang has a rigid rear axle and Camaro has a more so-phisticated independent link system with half-shafts and coil springs attached to an
isolated sub-frame. In theory, Camaro should be a better riding and handling sports car but that debate rolls on. A limited edition high-performance Camaro ZL1 arrived in 2012. It came with a supercharged 6.2-litre V8
engine that can produce an outrageous 580 horsepower … and it has obvious collec-tor car potential. A special 45th Anniversary Package was also offered that year. Other than some packing revisions and new colour choices,
there were no signifi cant changes to the 2013 or the 2014 model year editions of Camaro.While it may be hard to fi nd practical reasons to buy a sports car like Camaro, it did make it on the Consumer
Reports list of “recom-mended” good, reliable cars to buy. Camaro Convertible is also even less practical and more expensive than the Coupe. Then again, it’s a hoot to drive, especially with the top down!
Not too late to realize that convertible dream
‘‘Fall can be an opportune time to snag a great deal on that dream-ride convertible you’ve always wanted.’’Bob McHugh

individuals who know that forest like the back of their hand. Heck, I would have been lost after the fi rst two turns.If you found that throughout the day you wanted a more advanced riding, or wanted to take it easier, movement between groups was entirely possible. The name of the game there is safety, with fun at an extremely close second.Challenging yourself, your mind, your body and the bike is all part of the package.

Times have changed
Hockey season is back, and so is Jacob Bestebroer’s weekly col-umn, discussing the Chilliwack Chiefs and goings on around the BCHL.
Last Sunday was the 24th anniversary of the Chiefs play-ing their first regular season game.
I don’t know what’s more surprising, how quickly time has flown, or how well I remember that first game, a 9-2 win over the visiting Bellingham Ice Hawks.
Hockey sure has changed since that first season.
The first-year edition of the Chiefs scored 361 goals in 60 games.
They also allowed 323 goals. Yup that’s right; average goals scored per game in Chiefs games that season was 11.4.
I’ll never forget the early season performance of Chiefs forward Joey Potskin that year. He was the first Chief to get the nod as the league’s player of the week and he did it after scoring six goals and 12 assists – in three games.
If you’re too young to remember those days, those numbers must seem absurd to you. One thing we can be sure of, we won’t see those types of numbers any time soon.
We’ll spend plenty of time looking back at the first 24 years this season but for now let’s focus on this edition of the Chiefs. The team, with 16 new players in the lineup, looked solid in a pair of season open-ing victories on the weekend. A few things that caught my eye in the admittedly too small sample size of two games:
The goaltending is going to be very good this year.
Both Aidan Pelino and Mitchell Datz are above aver-age at this level.
Defenseman Evan MacEachern looked very comfortable as the quarter-back on the power play. He’s extremely quick at recogniz-
ing all the options available to him and usually picks the right one. His setup of Craig Puffer’s goal Saturday night was a thing of beauty.
As was Jake Hand’s first of three goals Saturday night. If you haven’t seen it, check it out on the Chiefs website.
Speaking of defense, the Chiefs are carrying seven defencemen. In games where they are all available and the coaches choose to dress six, the decision on who doesn’t play will likely not be easy.
Tough to predict who will lead this team in scoring.
Forwards Jake Hand, Jordan Kawaguchi and Craig Puffer all look capable but there are a half dozen other guys on this team that could average a point per game as well.
The official home opener is tomorrow (Saturday) when the Surrey Eagles visit Prospera Centre.
The first 1,000 fans will receive a free fridge magnet schedule and a pair of BC Lions Felions will be at the game signing autographs.
Make sure to be in your seats by 6:50 p.m. as the rink will be going dark at that time. There will be plenty of prizes to be won courtesy of Mount Waddington’s Outdoors. I can’t say much about that other than keep an eye on the rafters.
Prior to the game there will be a fundraising barbecue run in conjunction by Kal Tire and the Fraser Valley FC U-14 girls soccer team.
The Chiefs are planning to send a fan bus to their game in Vernon on Saturday, Oct. 11. The cost, which includes the bus ride to and from the game and a ticket to the game is $45. If you are interested give Andrea a call at the Chiefs office or visit her Saturday night at Customer Service.

GW Graham varsity football star Diego Pineda was wearing a Guelph Gryphons hat this week after sign-ing a letter of intent Wednesday. A standout on the Grizzlies’ defensive and offensive lines, Pineda was being courted by several CIS (Canadian Interuniversity Sport) programs. Guelph is a city in Southwestern Ontario, about 100 kilometres away from Toronto. Pineda and his Grizzlies play their home opener tonight at 7:30 p.m., hosting Delta’s Seaquam Seahawks at Exhibition Stadium. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS
Chilliwack Chiefs defenceman Vincent Desharnais is getting notice from the National Hockey League.
NHL Central Scouting
released its 2014 ‘Preliminary Players to Watch’ list Wednesday.
Nine Canadian junior A players are on the radar, including five BCHLers.
D e s h a r n a i s , Chilliwack’s towering rearguard and a junior A rookie, is joined by Carmine Buono (Powell River Kings), Brogan O’Brian (Prince George Spruce Kings), Marcus Vela (Langley Rivermen) and Stefan Wornig
(Powell River).Players on this list are
identified with an A, B, C or LV rating. A indicates a first round candidate. B indicates a second or third round candidate and C indicates a fourth, fifth or sixth round can-didate.
Desharnais and the other junior A skaters all received C grades, which means they’ve got some work to do.
The BCHL had more
players listed than any other Canadian junior A league.
Ontario’s Central Canada Hockey League (CCHL) had three play-ers with the Alberta Junior Hockey League (AJHL) adding one.
Desharnais and his Chiefs play their home opener Saturday night, hosting the Surrey Eagles.
Puck drop is 7 p.m. at Prospera Centre.
Chiefs D-man on the radar
The BCHL brain-trust have signed matching three year extensions that will keep the junior A league’s head office intact through 2018.
The men inking deals are commissioner John Grisdale, executive direc-tor Trevor Alto and com-munications director Brent Mutis.
Grisdale joined the BCHL in 2003-04 and his contract will see him through to his 15th sea-son.
Alto was hired in 2012 and Mutis was hired in 2010.
Under their watch over the last five years, the league has averaged 126 college commitments per
season, which translates into about $2 million in scholarship value to fami-lies.
The league has also won four RBC Cups as national champions, as well as the inaugural Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup title in 2013.
“As we continue to
develop our brand and prove ourselves as a wor-thy development option for players and their families, it’s important we keep our team together at the league office,” said Grisdale.
Meanwhile, Rob Lambie has signed on as director of hockey opera-tions.
Three more years for BCHL commish
Chilliwack’s ban-tam minor football Giants took their first loss of the season, fall-ing 35-6 to the South Delta Rams in a Friday Night Football clash at Townsend Park.
Hayden Oraschuk started the game with a big play on defence, forcing a fumble at the 35 yard line.
But the Chilliwack offence couldn’t capital-ize, and the Rams took a 7-0 lead on their next series.
Chilliwack battled back on their next series, with quarterback Gabe Olivares hooking up with Ryan Clayton and Brendan Piegsa on downfield passes.
Clayton capped the drive with a beautiful
catch for a major.The Ram running
game proved unstop-pable, and South Delta had a 28-6 lead at the half.
The final score may have been closer had Chilliwack scored on two second half drives that stalled in the red zone.
● The junior ban-tam Giants fell 8-2 to the Mission Niners in a defensive struggle. Chilliwack’s D was led by Mason Murphy,
Corey Lamb and Brock Cote.
Offensive linemen Hunter Mullis and Grayson Hardie played well.
● An all-local peewee clash saw the Red Giants top the Blue Giants 12-6.
Fullback Austin Martin and quarterback Logan Buchwitz scored touchdowns for the victors, facing a stout Blue Giants defence led by tackling machine Dhillon Myers.
Kaleb Readamire also had a strong game.
The Red Giants D was equally stingy, with stellar work by Tyler Kelly, Dayton Roger, Daniel King and Gavin
Cleal. Travis Richley came up with an inter-ception and Trent Cote had a game-saving tack-le. Cote also recovered an onside kick on spe-cial teams.
● Another all-local match saw the Red Giants take on the White Giants in an atom battle.
The Red Giants fell 31-19.
Q u a r t e r b a c k Deaglan Perry had two of their majors on first-half touchdown runs.
Lead blockers Hayden Strieling and Brayden Fraser helped him reach the end-zone. Defensively, Evan Butler had several tack-les for losses.

Muddy mayhem returns to Chilliwack this week-end with the second annual Unbridled Mud Trials at Island 22.
Race day is Saturday with the first competitors hitting the course at 10 a.m.
This year’s race includes separate competitive waves along with a brand new kids course for youths ages 6-11.
The adult course covers five kilometres of most-ly flat and very muddy terrain, dotted with 22 obstacles.
The top competitors took between 20-30 minutes to get through it last year, with the slowest competi-tor clocking in at 1:25:06.
The event is fan friendly, with several photo-graphical vantage points.
Admission is free, but parking costs $5 per car-load.
Money raised goes to the Island 22 Equestrian Park Society, a non-profit organization that main-tains the park for public use.
Get more info online at unbridledmudtrials.com and check next Wednesday’s Chilliwack Progress sports section for race results.

Chilliwack’s Evan Foster is off to a solid start with the University of Manitoba Bisons.
The former Chilliwack Minor Football star made the jump from junior foot-ball (BCFC Langley Rams) this fall, and has suited up for three regu-lar season games so far.
Foster’s debut came Sept. 5 in a 44-24 road loss to the Saskatchewan Huskies.
Foster had two solo tackles and four assists in the losing effort.
The defensive line-man recorded 1.5 quar-terback sacks in his second outing, a 42-18 rout of the Regina Rams Sept. 12.
Foster’s most recent outing was last week-end (Sept. 20), as his Bisons doubled the UBC Thunderbirds 20-10.
Foster had another 1.5 sacks.
There are a hand-ful of Bisons with ties to Chilliwack. Nick Westad has suited up for all three games as a defensive lineman.
GW Graham Grizzly grad Jake Creasey is battling for playing time as a freshman receiver.
Brandon Barrett, a WJ Mouat grad, is try-ing to make his mark at linebacker.
Abbotsford native Tanner Hamade played for Chilliwack’s Valley Huskers during the 2011 season and is now a part of the Bison sec-ondary.

The University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team rallied to split a pair of pre-season games against the Calgary Dinos last week.
Playing on their home court, the Envision Athletic Centre, the new-look
Cascades suffered a 58-48 loss in Thursday’s opener. With six players having departed from last year’s CIS bronze medal-winning roster, including starters like Aieisha Luyken, Nicole Wierks and Kayli Sartori, UFV struggled to find chemistry in
the first half and trailed 30-16 at the break.
Head coach Al Tuchscherer’s charges played much better in the second half, draw-ing within two points of the Dinos early in the fourth quarter. But Calgary responded with a 7-0 run to put
the game away. Shayna Litman led UFV with 10 points, while Sarah Wierks had eight points and 14 rebounds.
Sarah Wierks was the difference in Friday’s rematch – the fifth-year centre was dominant, racking up 19 points and 16 boards in a 61-54
victory.Three other
Cascades also scored in double digits – Kaitlyn Brink (13), Shayna Litman (12), and Nataliia Gavryliuk (10) – while Kristie Sheils paced the Dinos with 19 points.
“We had a much
more determined start for our second game,” Tuchscherer said. “The approach right from warm-up was different tonight and that carried through the first quar-ter as we were able to gain some confidence in our game with some quality defensive stops.”
UFV women’s hoopsters split with Dinos
Fine start for Foster
The Muck MS mud race comes to Chilliwack Oct. 4.
A five kilometre course with 12 obsta-cles will be laid out at Dicklands Farms (41984 Sinclair Road).
Money raised through this event goes to the MS Society, which funds research and provides services for people living with Multiple Sclerosis.
There is no individu-al or team fundraising minimum.
Participants are encouraged to make a donation and encourage friends and family to do the same.

It's been ten years now and I thought of you with love today but that is nothing new, I thought
about you yesterday and days before that too. I think of you in silence. I often speak your name,
all I have are memories and your picture in a frame. Your memory is my keepsake
with which I will never part.
If tears could build a stairway, and
memories a lane, I'd walk right up
to heaven and bring you home
again.

Allan Vaughn MacLeod (A.V.), born June 2, 1925, passed away on August 25, 2014 at the age of 89 in Ladner, BC. Allan was born and raised in Moose Jaw, Saskatche-wan. He met his future wife, Marga-ret Krammer, in Regina, and they were married in 1949 in Kamloops, BC, where Allan began his career with the Kamloops School District. Al spent 32 years in the role of Secretary-Treasurer for SD #24, and served as a President of the BC School District Secretary-Treasurer’s Association. After retirement he chaired the BC Special Olympics committee, and ran for City Counsellor. Although he was not successful in his bid for municipal offi ce, he brought together a diverse and committed group of supporters. Marg and Al raised their three children in Kamloops, and left a few years after they both retired. They lived in Victoria and Kelowna, fi nally settling in Chilliwack, BC, where they resided until early 2014. Marg and Al travelled extensively before and after retirement, taking trips to Europe, Tunisia and Ireland as well as winter vacations in Hawaii, Cuba and Mexico.
Al was a man of large personality and generous spirit. He could be both fi erce and soft-hearted; his humour and open, gregarious nature put people at ease. He loved to laugh, and was known for sharing his never-ending collection of jokes. He cared deeply about his children, encouraging them to do their best, instilling in them a strong work ethic, a sense of loyalty, and a willingness to laugh. He was devoted to Margaret, and they remained inseparable until the end. Throughout his life he opened his home to family and friends, sharing meals, relaxation, and entertainment. In his professional life he was known as a fi rm but fair leader, and was affectionately called “the Big Bear” in the school district. Under his watch School District #24 become the second largest in the province, and although he was known for not always following the rules, he was committed to creating the best educational opportunities for the community.
Al was predeceased by his two elder brothers, Grant and Doug, and his eldest daughter, Vaughan Lind, who died of cancer in December 2013. He is survived by his wife Margaret; his son Allan Jr., his daughter, Kathryn, and his granddaughter, Christine Lind.
A celebration of his life will take place on October 25 in Chilliwack, BC. If you would like information about his memorial, please email his family at [email protected]. Allan requested donations to the BC Heart and Stroke Foundation in lieu of fl owers.
