Bowls of HopeFeeding the hungry in

Chilliwack schools.

Greg KnillThe Progress

Terisha Mitchell hopes to help find a safe and secure food supply for children like hers.

Amir Maan wants to take the business of agri-culture to the next level by honing the skills he’s acquired while growing up on his family’s farm.

Both students believe the new B.C. Centre for Agriculture Excellence at the University of

the Fraser Valley’s Chilliwack campus is the place to do it.

The students were just two of the guest speakers that helped

open the new $2.7 million centre at Canada Education Park on Friday.

More than 300 invited guests toured the build-ings before they were opened to the public as part of the UFV’s 40th anniversary celebrations.

Premier Christy Clark, whose government com-mitted $1 million to the project, was impressed.

“This community has created something very, very special,” she said. “It’s the product of vision, the product of tenacity, and, of course, the product of lots of imagination in making it happen.”

UFV was able to fortify the government contribu-tion with $1.1 million of its own, and $387,000 from business and private partners. Another $250,000 came from Chilliwack Economic Partners – the agency that has taken the lead in redeveloping the abandoned Canada Forces Base Chilliwack and turning it into an education and training campus.

The first phase of the Centre for Agriculture Excellence includes a 780-square-metre livestock demonstration barn, and a 600-square-metre poly-carbonate greenhouse.

The buildings are connected to a centralized heating plant that will accommodate future expan-sion.

They will allow UFV to continue growing and enhancing its agricultural programs, providing technical training for students and an important venue for applied research.

The goal, said advanced education minister

Fraser Valley transit drivers vote overwhelmingly to strikeCUPE Fraser Valley bus driv-

ers have voted 94 per cent in favour of a strike mandate as part of the negotiating process.

The members of CUPE Local 561 gave the mandate at a meet-ing held Sunday night, meaning they are in favour of their bar-

gaining team taking strike action if negotiations break down.

The union would have to serve 72-hour strike notice with the BC Labour Relations Board before taking job action.

The First Canada ULC employees are still in bargaining

with the employer and say that the strike vote is to communi-cate their resolve to get a new collective agreement.

The membership rejected a proposed memorandum of set-tlement last month.

The two sides have met five

times since the contract expired last summer and the union is seeking a return to the bargain-ing table for further talks.

CUPE 561 represents 134 bus drivers and other workers from Abbotsford, Mission and Chilliwack.

The Sikorsky S-76 circled low over the Legacy Pacific warehouses on South Sumas Road, Sunday. On the ground, Chilliwack firefighters anchored bright orange traffic cones, marking the landing zone for the medevac pilot above.

After one pass, the pilot waved off the first site, opting instead for a more open parking lot 100 metres to the east.

As the massive rotors slowed to silence, an ambulance crawled forward to the waiting helicopter.

Inside was a 15-year-old boy who only minutes earlier had been struck by a train while driving a tractor over an uncon-trolled rail crossing.

Badly injured, the boy was stabilized on site by advanced life support paramedics before being loaded into an ambu-lance for the short ride to the helicopter.

A second person, who had been riding the trailer being towed by the tractor, was also injured and treated on site before being transported to hospital.

The impact had knocked the Kubota front-end loader sev-eral metres down the track, spilling diesel into the gully at trackside.

The train, which was shuttling grain cars to the nearby Rogers flour mill, sustained only minor damage.

Police and firefighters cordoned off the area, rerouting traf-fic around the accident scene for several hours.

The crash occurred just before noon. By 1 p.m. the Sikorsky helicopter – its young patient onboard, having received shouts of encouragement from friends and neighbours before takeoff – was high above the Fraser River, en route to B.C. Children’s Hospital.

The teen remains in hospital, listed in serious but stable condition. Surgery is scheduled for later this week.

His family is by his side.Police continue to investigate.

Chilliwack school district may no longer be able to hold a “rainy day” fund.

Last week the provincial govern-ment rolled out a new strategy that would offload some of the costs of capital projects and seismic upgrades onto school districts that have funds available.

Currently the new strategy won’t affect Chilliwack as it has limited reserves on the books and no seis-

mic upgrades planned, but the fear of what may be looms.

“Certainly it is concerning that there continues to be a download-ing protocol the government keeps using,” said Chilliwack board of edu-cation chair Walt Krahn.

Until now, all capital projects at public schools have been funded by the provincial government.

The new policy is in response to an auditor-general’s report in 2010 that found there’s too much excess cash being held by public sector agencies, including school districts,

said Ben Green, education ministry spokesperson.

A subsequent auditor-general’s report released last month reached the same conclusion.

To deal with the issue, the finance ministry launched its “cash manage-ment strategy” that requires school districts to consider cost-sharing of capital and seismic projects.

Even though Chilliwack’s facilities are seismically up to date, the school district is in need of a new school, especially on the south side where the schools are either at or above

capacity. If a new school is approved, this

new strategy could require the dis-trict to share costs.

“We’re not totally sure, at this point, what this all means,” said sec-retary treasurer Gerry Slykhuis.

Chilliwack currently has a $500,000 reserve saved away for unexpected expenses like last fall’s byelection, or the CUPE salary increase that was left for school districts to fund.

It’s a figure the Chilliwack board has wrestled with for years. Some trustees feel all money should be

put into the classroom, whereas oth-ers would like more money in the reserves for emergencies.

“There’s a philosophical discus-sion for how much is reasonable to hold on to for emergencies,” said Slykhuis. “However, if you don’t have reserves and something unforeseen comes up, then you’re into a deficit which means you have less money for the next year.

“And $500,000 is pretty small in a $120 million budget.”

Easter bags go along with bowls of hopeJennifer FeinbergThe Progress

Thousands of hot lunches are served to hungry school kids in Chilliwack every year in the Feed the Children program put on by Chilliwack Bowls of Hope Society.

About 600 Easter bags were being filled by volunteers on Monday with fresh fruit, juice and chocolate treats, to go along with the nutritious lunches heading to the schools.

Program volunteers and offend-ers work out of the kitchen at the Chilliwack Community Correctional Centre on Rowat Avenue getting the soup and bread ready for lunchtime transport.

The Bowls of Hope coordinators say that a whopping 120,000 hot lunch-es were ladled out with love in 16 Chilliwack schools in 2013.

“I do presentations and find people are in disbelief that there are hun-gry children in almost every school in Chilliwack,” said volunteer coordi-nator Cindy Waters for Fraser Valley Community Corrections.

She started as a volunteer delivering

soup in the Feed The Children pro-gram and now coordinates the broader efforts of a network of volunteers.

How does she describe Bowls of Hope to someone who doesn’t know what they do?

“It’s people in the community who care about children,” she said.

The Feed the Children program began humbly in 2005, feeding more than a dozen school kids. It has grown exponentially since then with 50 vol-unteers now committed to keeping it going, and several corporate sponsors.

“It’s very rewarding to volunteer because they see the value in what we are doing, and they want to make sure the program continues. They are will-ing to do whatever it takes.”

They even tend a vegetable garden on-site for soup and sandwich ingre-dients, and the Local Harvest Farm Market is also supplying fresh produce.

At the heart of the effort there is keen recognition that nutrition and healthy food play crucial roles in giving school kids the very best shot they can get at having a good life, starting by being successful in school.

“For a lot of people at the Correctional

Centre, that was them, the kids who come to school hungry every day. If we can keep just one child in school because their belly is full and they can concentrate, we will have succeeded.”

One of the centre’s residents once told her that if he had been offered a hot lunch every day when he was a kid, he might not have ever ended up in jail.

The feedback from teachers is very encouraging, as the children tell them how much they enjoy the soup, or the wieners and beans.

There’s a recipe collection used in the kitchen centre where they’ve amassed recipes for 20 types of deli-cious soups that they can make to ladle up a different one every day. There is no overhead for the program, and each bowl of soup works out to about 33 cents.

Their biggest fundraiser of the year is coming up shortly, with a goal of rais-ing $50,000.

As in the past, all proceeds go direct-ly to feed the children of Chilliwack who go to school hungry.

Finance change could shake up school earthquake plans

Jennifer FeinbergThe Progress

It came right down to the wire.

Bill 27, the legislation to change the makeup and size of the Cultus Lake Park Board, was the very last order

paper to be introduced in this spring session at the B.C. legislature, according to Chilliwack-Hope MLA Laurie Throness.

The bill seeks to amend the Cultus Lake Park Act to cut the board from seven com-

missioners down to five — with three elected by Cultus residents, and only two by Chilliwack residents.

Tuesday morning in Victoria, Throness was making a speech in sup-port of second reading of the bill in the legis-lature.

“The changes I want-ed to implement were small but effective in shifting the balance of accountability at Cultus Lake,” he told The Progress.

Two years ago, dur-ing a provincial by-election, Throness was approached by Gary Lister, a Cultus resident, who along with wife Sue, were collecting signa-tures on a petition ask-ing for a restructured Cultus park board, and increased accountabil-ity and democracy for lakers.

They eventually obtained more than 900 signatures.

“That’s a formidable chunk of people,” the MLA noted, adding the Listers and other

volunteers must have knocked on every door at the lake.

“When I saw there was broad-based sup-port to change things, with support among almost 1,000 of my con-stituents on a specific topic, I decided I need-ed to act. So I took it up in a big way.”

The Cultus Lake Park Board initially rejected the idea, passing a reso-lution against it.

“That for me was a perfect demonstration of how the Park Board was not championing the will of the people it served,” Throness added.

The MLA eventually gained the support of City of Chilliwack for his proposed chang-es to the park board, which helped in his bid to get the provincial government to take up the cause.

Throness said he was first going to make it a private member’s bill, but in the end he didn’t have to.

Amrik Virk, is to culti-vate B.C.’s agriculture sector by producing a tech-savvy workforce, backed by cutting edge research and innovation.

The greenhouse, for example, is built from a light-weight mate-rial that is stronger and more photo-efficient. At 11.5 metres, it is the tall-est greenhouse in North America, allowing the school to experiment with innovations like vertical growing.

Said Premier Clark: “People are going to come from all over the world to look at what you’re doing here, to learn from it and import that technology.”

British Columbia already exports $1.6 bil-lion in agriculture prod-ucts to countries around the globe. But there is room to do more, said Clark.

That possibil-ity excites students like Mitchell and Maan. “It is

the possibility for us to be part of the mounting push for change in the world of agriculture,” said Mitchell, “the push to provide Canadian farmers with the tools they need to thrive and compete in the global market, the push to inno-vate, create, and supply food to our ever growing global community.”

Mann agreed. “UFV is on its way to becom-ing the leading institu-tion where not only the agriculture department, but every department in every faculty col-laborates to support the industry that feeds us all,” he said.

University president Mark Evered said the facility will become a keystone in network of applied agriculture research and devel-opment across the province and Western Canada, leading to best practices in technology, with hands-on skill build-ing opportunities in the agriculture and agribusi-

ness sectors.For Premier Clark,

the timing couldn’t be better. With a rapidly expanding middle class in countries like India and China, sources of safe and sustainable food are being desper-ately sought.

“They are hungry for Canadian product, for safe, high quality British Columbian food,” she said. “We have to have the capacity to be able to produce that, and the only way we can do that is to continue educating

students like Terisha and Amir, so this invest-ment is going to con-tinue to grow.”

Both Mitchell and Maan welcome the chance to be a part of that push.

Said Maan: “Locally grown and sustainable food is not a buzzword anymore; it’s not a fad, but rather a necessity.”

NewsSuper sockeye run could whack weaker stocksJeff NagelBlack Press

Conservationists are worried a pre-dicted bonanza of sockeye salmon returning to the Fraser River this sum-mer will also bring a frenzy of fishing that could harm weaker stocks.

The mid-range estimate for the Fraser run is 23 million sockeye, but the pre-season forecast shows it could potentially go as high as 72 million.

“People have sockeye fever,” said Aaron Hill of the Watershed Watch Salmon Society. “The problem is the huge return is being driven by a few large populations. When we fish those big runs hard there’s a lot of collat-eral damage with smaller runs that get caught as bycatch.”

He said weaker runs that could get battered in a year of intense fishing include threatened coho salmon bound for the Thompson River, as well as smaller runs of sockeye that return to Cultus Lake, Pitt Lake, Bowron Lake and Taseko Lake.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans must manage the fishery to minimize the accidental catch of vulner-able stocks as sport, commercial and aboriginal sectors aim to catch as many sockeye as they’re allowed.

Much of the run is expected to spawn in the Adams River system and threat-ened salmon that arrive in B.C. waters at the same time as the Adams fish will be particularly at risk.

But Hill said DFO is instead propos-ing a draft salmon management plan

for 2014 that could allow “alarming” rollbacks in protection for weak stocks.

One option to enable a larger catch if a huge sockeye run materializes is to boost the proportion of sockeye that can be caught or otherwise die before spawning from 60 per cent in previous years to 65 per cent, according to the DFO document.

“It’s going to mean more overfishing in 2014,” Hill said. “Across the board we’re seeing DFO caving to lobby pres-sure from the commercial sector and the big charter operations and fishing lodges in the sports sector.”

DFO spokesperson Michelle Imbeau said the department is still in the midst of consultations to develop the man-agement plan that will guide fisheries, which will vary depending on how many salmon actually show up.

“No final decisions have been made at this point,” she said.

Imbeau said fisheries plans are adjusted during the fishing season depending on the run’s actual size and timing, along with other factors, and will be carefully managed to protect specific stocks of concern.

Hill argues strong runs of sockeye could be more safely targeted by fish-ing in specific tributaries of the Fraser, and by using selective fisheries that can release endangered salmon like Interior coho.

The sockeye now migrating back to B.C. from the north Pacific are the spawn of the massive 2010 run when 30 million unexpectedly returned.

Chilliwack fire investigators on Monday survey the wreckage left by a massive fire at the Bavarian Haus Restaurant on Luckakuck Way early Saturday morning. Damage to the building was so severe investigators had to wait until portions were demolished before they could begin their work. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Fire destroys popular restaurantA popular Chilliwack restaurant

was gutted by fire Saturday morning and adjacent businesses damaged in a blaze that fire officials are saying is still under investigation.

The Bavarian Haus Restaurant in the 45000 block of Luckakuck Way was fully involved when firefighters from three halls began arriving at about 1:15 a.m.

The fire was so intense that walls were buckling and flames were spreading to neighbouring business-es. Firefighters managed to stop the fire from spreading but the restaurant was completely destroyed. There was extensive water and smoke damage

to the adjacent commercial units.There were no civilian or firefight-

er injuries.Chilliwack fire officials are

still trying to determine a cause. Complicating the investigation has been the poor condition of the build-ing and resulting safety concerns.

The B.C. NDP caucus lined up behind leader-ship contender John Horgan Tuesday, includ-ing his only rival for the job, Mike Farnworth.

“Yes, today marks the end of my campaign for B.C. NDP leader,” Farnworth said at a news conference in Victoria Tuesday. “But more importantly, it begins our campaign to elect a B.C. NDP government in 2017, with John Horgan as premier.”

Horgan thanked Farnworth for “putting aside his leadership cam-

paign to create a unity candidate, a unity com-mittee, to go forward and beat the Liberals in 2017.”

Horgan said he will continue to campaign for the leadership until May 1, the deadline for nomi-nations to lead the party. If that deadline passes with no new candidates, Horgan expects to be acclaimed.

Farnworth’s campaign has suffered two setbacks in recent days, the latest being Horgan’s increased lead in endorsements. Horgan’s latest support-ers are party members around Farnworth’s Port Coquitlam home turf, including Coquitlam-

Maillardville MLA Selina Robinson, NDP MP Fin Donnelly and former area MLAs Dawn Black and Joe Trasolini.

Farnworth’s only pub-lic endorsers from the B.C. NDP caucus were Saanich South MLA Lana Popham and Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson, while Horgan had 15 MLAs publicly supporting him.

Farnworth also bore the brunt of former pre-mier Mike Harcourt’s decision last week to quit the NDP. Harcourt endorsed Farnworth in the 2011 NDP leadership where Farnworth fin-ished second to Adrian Dix.

Another key endorse-ment for Horgan came from the B.C. executive of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents 85,000 municipal workers in the province.The board led by CUPE B.C. president Mark Hancock, former-ly president of the Port Coquitlam local, was among those calling for Horgan to run.

Lisa takes the challenge for Chilliwack!Reason for Applying: My Sister Carolyn Putt did this last year and I have seen such a change in her health, fi tness, and love of life, I want to have that too. I would love to do this in memory of my neice Lilee-Jean who passed away six months ago when she was only 2 years old from Brain Cancer, and for my Uncle Steve who passed away about 10 months ago from a rare type of blood cancer. They both had a wonderful zest for life and loved to be active and outside no matter what the weather, or what was happening to them during their illness/treatment. I know that I need to become healthier not only for myself but because I have three young children, one with special needs, they want me to be able to run and play as long as they can, and they need me to be around for a long time.

The International Baccalaureate program is being phased out of G.W. Graham middle-secondary school.

Not because it’s not a great program, but because it’s not an inclu-sive program.

Middle years IB was only offered to students in grades 7-9, which was great when the school wasn’t a full 7-12 school.

But in recent years it’s become somewhat of a division between the middle and secondary program.

“Without intending to, some teachers in the high school were left feeling excluded,” said IB coordinator Tammi Chernoff who teaches middle years math and science.

“We’re not just a mid-dle school anymore, we’re a middle second-ary school and we need to reflect that.”

However, to imple-ment the IB second-ary program would have cost thousands, an expense that would have likely been offload-ed onto parents.

The school decided to go a new route.

This spring the da Vinci Program of Distinction is being phased in for the Grade 9 and 10 students, and come next September it will be offered to all students.

da Vinci is an in-house honours pro-gram, designed by GWG teachers, to give students in grades 7 to

12 an opportunity to advance their learning through personalized projects.

The program takes pieces from several other programs, includ-ing IB, but with a per-sonalized touch that will meet the specific needs of GWG.

“A huge part for us was the six-year experi-ence,” said P.E. teacher Jake Mouritzen. “We wanted to develop a program that started in Grade 7 and went all the way up to Grade 12 – that was huge for us.”

All students in grades 7-8 will be required to participate, complet-ing both a science fair and humanities project. The 9-10 and 11-12 pro-grams invite students to explore an individual project over a 10-month period. Both programs are optional, and stu-dents can opt in to do one or both at any time.

The da Vinci Program of Distinction follows the B.C. Education Ministry’s guidelines for personalized learn-ing.

With the program,

students will spend 10 months investigating and completing a proj-ect of interest. They will be mentored and guided by teachers, but predominantly the majority of the work will be done by their own initiative – through summer break and win-ter break, as well as the school year.

“Kids are brilliant, they will astound you every single time if you allow them to,” said Chernoff.

Even though the pro-gram doesn’t have the widely recognized “IB” affiliation attached to it, it will still be resume worthy.

“It’s definitely going to give them an edge with scholarships, bur-saries and jobs,” said Chernoff. “It’s another aspect of who they are as learners.”

And, because it’s now a six-year pro-gram, teachers believe it will better unify their school.

Students can earn up to four credits for graduation.

“I was very happy that the government included it on the list of legislation to be intro-duced,” Throness said. “It came right down to the wire.”

Gary Lister called it “a long, hard struggle” to get the changes pro-posed, but it was worth it.

“We feel great that this is happening,” he told The Progress on Tuesday. “It shows that average citizens can make positive change.”

It feels like a victory for those fighting for justice.

“Someone said this is a watershed moment for Cultus Lake,” Lister a d d e d . “ E v e r y b o d y we’ve heard from is extremely happy and thankful to everyone who was involved in the process.”

But they were only two of the many resi-dents and leaseholders at the lake who cham-pioned the cause of increasing democracy, Lister underlined.

Park Board Chair Sacha Peter said he appreciates the fact that the proposal brings the size of the Park Board down to similar size of other comparable juris-dictions.

“It will also save the Park Board a little bit of money,” he said.

The estimate is for a savings of about $16,000, which will inject “a modest contri-bution” toward keeping the park board finan-cially sustainable.

“I also think the board will be well-served with five com-missioners, without any loss of representation,” Peter said.

But those elected to the scaled-down board in 2014 won’t escape any of the most press-

ing issues at Cultus.“Whoever those five

commissioners are, they will face the same challenges, including the land tenure situa-tion, ongoing financial management of the park including budget balancing, manage-ment of Sunnyside C a m p g r o u n d , the Vedder River Campground, munici-pal type services and bylaw enforcement,” Peter said.

But MLA Throness said he felt land tenure would not be impacted.

“None of the changes affect land tenure in any way, we’re just chang-

ing the structure,” he said.

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz also had praise for the efforts to date.

“Council is apprecia-tive of the work MLA Throness has undertak-en regarding election representation at Cultus Lake and endorsed his recommendations with the understanding that no costs associated with the proposed change to the Cultus Lake Park Board Act would be incurred by the City of Chilliwack,” she said.

For Park Board Chair Peter, there is some residual frustration, in

the wake of the decision to move ahead at the provincial level.

“One of the frustrat-ing aspects is that we were told by the pro-vincial government that they would not amend the Cultus Lake Park Act, despite the fact there are components of it that have not been substantively reviewed since 1932.

“We’ve brought that to their attention so in a way it’s disappointing clearly since the gov-ernment is now amend-ing it.

“But it’s also frustrat-ing that this opportu-nity is not being used

to enact other changes to the Act,” such as the need for clearer lan-guage on the subject of leases and board pow-ers.

“It’s still an antiquat-ed framework. So while Bill 27 is an incremen-tal good, because the board size is reduced and (Cultus Lake) resi-dents will get a greater say on who gets elected, it should not be viewed as a silver bullet.

“We’ll still need to address challenges around land tenure and the financial manage-ment of the park.”

With the winter behind us and summer ahead, the Mount Cheam Lions are busy lining up plans for the upcoming scal year. We have elected a new slate of of cers and I think we can look forward to another successful year with the members who have stepped up to lead a great team.

At the same time, we are extending our thanks to all who have helped to make 2013-14 a great year. This includes, as well as our club members, all our community supporters. We extend our thanks to the many businesses and groups that have contributed to our success.

Looking back at the year, these are some of the causes we supported in Chilliwack and B.C. This past year: Sight Impaired, Hard of Hearing, Salvation Army, Needy Children’s Christmas Party, Kidney Foundation, Cancer Society, Paci c Riding for the Disabled, Child Development Society, Lion’s Easter Seal House, High School Bursaries, B.C. Children’s Hospital, Transition Centre, and much, much more.

We also supported the Lions Foundation of Canada which in turn supports the blind programmes and the Leader Dogs of Canada.

Mount Cheam Lions has increased our membership substantially this year, so we have more volunteers to help our causes. In addition to our service projects, we also have a number of fundraiser projects. Some of the best known are our Model Train and Hobby Show, our annual Pub Crawl and our state of the art portable barbeque /grill for numerous food concessions and pancake breakfasts. And of course, our newest fundraiser, our monthly spaghetti dinner.

If you would like to join us in our endeavors, contact me or any Mount Cheam Lion member and we will give you details on how to do it.

Until next time, remember:“We serve”

— Lion, Jerry McEvoy

New age for QuebecA generational shift had a great deal to do with the relegation of the

Parti Quebecois to the opposition benches in Monday’s Quebec elec-tion.

Normally, elections in other provinces are of little interest to B.C. residents. But the PQ mused about separatism (including passports and borders) and campaigned openly on a Charter of Quebec Values that was one of the most discriminatory documents in recent Canadian history. This captured a lot of attention nationally, and caused a large majority of younger voters to flee.

Some went to the Liberals, who won 41.5 per cent of the vote, 70 seats and a majority government. A significant number went to the Coalition Avenir Quebec (CAQ), which promised not to focus on separatism, but rather on the economy, and some went to the left-wing Quebec Solidaire separatist party which, significantly, opposed the charter.

Premier Pauline Marois borrowed a page from Adrian Dix’s unsuc-cessful campaign in B.C. a year ago. She went off script part way through the campaign, bringing up separatism and a referendum after her star candidate Pierre-Karl Peladeau raised his fist in the air and proclaimed the need for independence.

Her lack of focus on jobs and the economy was also a crucial error. Quebec has one of the weakest economies in the country, the highest debt and a poor job creation record. Any talk of separatism causes inves-tors to give it the cold shoulder. Marois seemed unperturbed by all this.

New premier Philippe Couillard has a lot of promise. He is a former cabinet minister, has international experience as a surgeon, is an uncon-ditional federalist, and stated that Canada is a great country to be part of.

Couillard has promised to tackle some of the province’s economic issues, and CAQ leader Francois Legault will continually remind him of the urgency of doing so. Meanwhile, the PQ is now leaderless, with Marois having resigned on Monday night. Perhaps its days are num-bered.

RAESIDE

VICTORIA – Have you got one of the new B.C. driver’s licences yet?

By now most drivers have the one with the unsmiling black and white mug shot, to conform to passport standards so it could be used for border identification with the magnetic swipe strip on the back.

About one million of us now have the newest version, with a credit-card style digital chip that proves your residence and eligibil-ity for our famously “free” medical care.

The motor vehicle office start-ed issuing them about a year ago, as five-year licences expire. They replace the old “CareCard” that has no expiry date. Over the years there were more than nine million CareCards issued, twice the popu-lation of B.C., as people held onto their access to our defenseless,

overworked medical system from wherever they moved to.

Positive identification is only the start for this card. Each will

be assigned a pass-word that gives access to online medical records, so when patients show up at an ER, their eligibility is confirmed and any previous con-ditions or medi-cations are accu-rately matched.

(Note that medical information is not stored on the card, just an access code that goes with the password.)

Patients will be able to call up their own files at home, book med-ical appointments and even renew prescriptions, which is where the efficiency comes in. In-person vis-

its for routine prescription renew-als are a cash cow for today’s doctors, generating guaranteed billings but often little or no health benefit.

Most people will still think of it as a driver’s licence, but it’s intended as an all-purpose gov-ernment ID. If you don’t drive, you are spared the $75 licence renewal fee, and within a couple of years the cards will start provid-ing online access to a wide range of government services.

Andrew Wilkinson, minister of technology, innovation and citi-zens’ services, says a public con-sultation has shown most people are comfortable using a system they already trust for their bank-ing.

By the end of 2015, Wilkinson says about two million people will have the new cards, roughly half of B.C.’s population. Application

forms converted to online access will include student loans, birth, death and marriage certificates, voter registration and even crimi-nal record checks.

All this will be costly to set up, but the savings from having cus-tomers do their own data entry are well known, as any banker or supermarket owner can tell you.

“You can understand that if you’re in the vital statistics office and this can all be done from places like Telegraph Creek and Horsefly remotely, that actu-ally saves them a lot of money,” Wilkinson said. “There will be conversion of existing services where you have to go into an office and wait around and fill out forms. Those will be converted to online services.”

It also means a decline in the number of government office jobs, and the potential for further

outsourcing of services, as we have seen with Medical Services Plan administration and the back-office functions of BC Hydro.

Some older readers won’t be thrilled to hear about this. They don’t want a “smart phone,” just a phone. But they will also see their great-grandchildren becom-ing adept with tablet comput-ers before they can even speak. Seniors will get the hang of it pretty quickly, and their lives will become easier.

• A correction to last week’s column on the Agricultural Land Commission. I erroneously said regional panel members were appointed from outside the region. They are local residents, and the new legislation formalizes a cabinet appointment process for them.

A new reason to support the ChiefsChilliwack has always been

known as a great hockey town, now’s the time to prove it!

The announcement last week brought on some excite-ment around our house as we were glad that a decision had been made on a new coach and GM. (Chiefs name new head coach, GM, Chilliwack Progress, April 4.)

I think that as hockey fans we owe it to Harvey, the Chief’s organization and the players dedication to the community and to the new coach to rise up and support this team. I can’t think of anything that is as affordable as the seasons tickets this year!

We have been seasons ticket holders for years and this is the best deal yet.

This organization has gone

through a big change this year and has left a wave of emotions at Harvey leaving the team. Well, now it is time to take those same voices of support that we gave to Harvey for 21 years and transfer them to Jason Tatarnic and his family.

This is the Chief’s 25th year. Yes, I know that they haven’t been here all the time there was a short absence while in Langley.

Don’t let that hold you back from coming and supporting this team. We are blessed to have a hockey team of great cali-ber here in our own town. The “boys” whether they grew up here or not are our hometown boys.

Sure this last year was rough, but haven’t you ever had a bad

year? Did everyone around you desert you? I am not employed by the Chiefs, nor a paid PR person, just a fan. Wait a minute, more than “just” a fan. We are fans! If you are not sure, then come out to the games. Get to know Glen, Andrea and Barry see how hard they and the other staff and volunteers work to pro-vide for us a great hockey team.

Don’t be fair weather fans... let’s be Chilliwack Chief Fans through the good and bad years.

The Chiefs are in our com-munity doing various programs at schools etc. and supporting various organizations like the Salvation Army kettles etc.

Let’s give back to them with our support. Come on.. give it a try! Go Chiefs Go!

Changes to Cultus Lake elections welcomed

Congratulations to Sue and Gary Lister! It’s easy to com-plain about a problem, and to look at the downsides of any possible solutions, or to get discouraged because it seems impossible to get exactly what you want. Instead, the Listers did something.

As many as 926 Lakers signed their petition to change the voting for Cultus Lake Park Board to make the board more accountable to the peo-ple it serves.

A big thank you also to our MLA, Laurie Throness, for fol-lowing through with the peti-tion; to the City of Chilliwack for their support; and to those Cultus Lake Park Board mem-bers who supported the pro-cess.

It’s true, it’s not done yet, and we all need to pay more attention to our elections when they happen, but this is a great first step.

Coralea TowlerCultus Lake, BC

As of now, despite all the reports on the subject flight, I have heard no one ask, or any statement as to why devices used to track such flights can be turned off from the flight deck. With the danger of ter-rorists taking over the plane or a pilot deciding to commit suicide, as has happened in the past, the ability to disconnect the tracking systems seems ridiculous.

Exporting jobs to AsiaChilliwack resident Jerry

Riches, makes some excel-lent points about our National Energy Policy in his letter to the editor. (Time for Canadians to do what’s right for their country, Progress, March 28.)

Our Energy Policy is based on exporting energy to create jobs. Instead of developing an Energy Policy of self sufficiency, we’ve developed a make work project that’s called the Alberta Tar Sands, which is subsidized by the Canadian taxpayer to the tune of $1.2 billion a year.

This particular project has a net energy loss, which means, it takes more than a barrel to make a barrel. It’s all done in the pretext of job creation, which it does, high paying jobs, which me and you pay for.

This is what fuels the Asian economy, cheap North American energy combined with slave and child labor, with no environ-mental restrictions, and they in return supply us with cheap non essential consumer goods.

Snail mail raising their pric-es?

The name “snail mail” cer-tainly fits our mail delivery .

It is the seventh day since I mailed a letter to Surrey and it has still not arrived.

Obviously the hike in post-age for Canadian mail is for storage!!?

The concert is set to be the point at which majestic meets beautiful.

Chilliwack Symphony Orchestra and Chorus have “majestic” Handel move-ments and pretty Mozart melodies planned for the spring concert April 12 at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre.

A Night of Mozart and Handel will begin with the overture from Handel’s Music for the Royal Fireworks as the opening piece.

“What is so cool about the Handel piece is that when we started the orchestra 15 years ago, it appeared on our very first concert program.

“Here we are today set to perform it again in celebration of the orchestra’s

15-year anniversary,” said Music direc-tor Paula DeWit.

Also back again to dazzle CSO audi-ences is soprano Michelle Koebke, who was here for a performance with the orchestra in December.

The classical vocalist will be sharing the spotlight on Saturday with virtuoso trumpet player, Daeyong Ra.

With the orchestra backing them, they will take on two brilliant pieces by Handel: Eternal Source of Light Divine and Let the Bright Seraphim, which are both trumpet and soprano duets.

“Recent CSO concerts have played to full houses,” noted DeWit.

“A quick look at the evening’s rep-ertoire, packed with well-loved master-pieces by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and George Frideric Handel, it is quite

likely that this one will follow suit.”When she was picking out the best

pieces for the concert about a year ago, she couldn’t find enough by Mozart. So she changed the name of the con-cert to include Handel, as soon as she settled on Dixit Dominus as one of the selected pieces.

“That opened up endless possibili-ties,” she said. “Everything just gelled from there.”

The concert will offer a study in musical contrasts, the conductor noted.

“Because Handel’s music is majestic and joyous, whereas the mozart is very pretty music,” she said.

Also featured in the first half is the second movement of the beautiful Mozart Harp and Flute Concerto in C, with harpist Maria Moularas and Sarah

Dyck on flute.CSO is eager to present Chilliwack’s

own talented vocalist, Shane Hanson. He’s a gifted counter-tenor, who studies opera performance at UBC.

“Hanson’s performance will be a bit of a rarity. You don’t see too many counter-tenors any more.”

After the intermission Hanson and Koebke, in concert with the CSO cho-rus and orchestra, will present Handel’s glorious Dixit Dominus.

A Night of Mozart and Handel, April 12, 7:30 p.m. by CSO and Chorus, plus guests at Chilliwack Cultural Centre, tickets by phone 604-391-SHOW (7469), or online at www.chilliwackculturalcen-tre.ca General admission $25/Student $15. More at www.chilliwacksymphony.com

Chilliwack residents have until May 9 to nominate local individuals for the Prime Minister’s Volunteer Awards.“Every day, millions of Canadians shape this country through their volunteer work,” said Candice Bergen, Minister of State (Social Development). “In Canada, there are 161,000 not-for-profi t and charitable organizations.

Wherever there is a need, there are people willing to lend a hand.“National Volunteer Week recognizes

these Canadians who show their compassion, generosity and commitment to communities across our country. “Whether it is visiting seniors, canvassing for funds or preparing meals, they are making a diff erence.“I encourage you to take the time this week to thank a volunteer, and I look forward to recognizing and celebrating the accomplishments of Canada’s 13.3 million volunteers at the National Volunteer Week Reception in Ottawa on Wednesday, April 9. Th eir selfl ess eff orts are not only making Canada a better place to live, they are

Rock the $#@! Out of Cancer Benefit Dance Party is back this year with two big nights of live music April 11-12.

It’s the fourth year of a local fundraiser for a Ride to Conquer Cancer team and the BC Cancer Foundation. This year it’s at the Echo Room.

Instead of squeezing the benefit excitement into just one night, the party will be spread out over two nights, with a great lineup of talent and different genres for the different demo-graphics, said organiz-er Wayne Oberst.

“I think we’ll get more support by split-ting up the music genres this way,” he said.

First it’s ‘Club Night’ on Friday, April 11 for the under-30 crowd, with pop electronic

duo Destineak, Pardon My Striptease, and Swaggerjack.

Then on Saturday, April 12 it’s ‘Classic Rock Night’ with music from the 60s, 70s, and 80s, with the guys from the band The Odds per-forming as Radio One, Rock Therapy which includes Oberst him-self, local entertainer Trevor McDonald, and the Smiley Family clos-ing out the night.

The local benefit means a lot to Oberst, who is a cancer survi-vor himself. He makes a point of doing the 240 km Ride to Conquer Cancer held in Vancouver every June, and this year the team has 12 members.

“This year is a little different than in years past. We’re doing the Ride to Conquer Cancer to honour peo-ple we’ve lost,” he said, adding that his team’s honourees are Paul

King and Lilee-Jean Putt.

“This year is very special to us. Lilee-Jean was Paul’s hero and Paul was mine.”

Oberst wrote a song for Lilee Jean, a toddler who lost her fight with an aggressive form of brain cancer, and he also forged a real connection with King before he passed away.

The party will be hosted by Kenny Jones of 96.9 Jack FM on the Friday, and Sadie Hesketh of 89.5 The Drive on the Saturday, and there’s a big raffle rather than a silent auc-tion planned, and DJs who will spin tunes between performanc-es.

The goal is to raise $20,000 of the $65,000

fundraising total from the raffle alone.

“That would be the most money that we’ve raised in a single year

to date.”The event has

brought in just under $200,000 in the first three years, he said.

The location of the 2014 event is switching to the Echo Room from Evergreen Hall.

All the other details

are at www.rockoutcan-cer.ca, with tickets $30 each or both nights for $50.

SceneKennedy sisters on their way back

One of last year’s Party in the Park favourites is coming back to Chilliwack. Carli and Julie Kennedy are a Canadian powerhouse duo with a musical bond that only identical twins can share. With Carli on vocals and guitar and Julie on vocals, violin, mandolin and bass guitar, they have developed a sound that is all their own. It’s a fusion of country, folk, jazz and classical music. Originally from the small

town of Powell River, these sis-ters are known for exceptional harmonies, fine musicality, and sincere songwriting style.

“The Kennedys are absolute-ly 100% made for the stage and made to entertain,” according to the Nashville Music Examiner.

Carli and Julie Kennedy, Bozzini’s Upstairs Saturday April 12. Tickets $15 or $17.50, shows at 6:15 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. 604 792-0744 Carli and Julie Kennedy, at Bozzini’s April 12.

HAVE Y UR SAY NLINE!

This is your opportunity to give us feedback to optimize the proposed

pipeline corridor for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project.

When it comes to the local music scene in Chilliwack, Trevor McDonald is a house-hold name.

Downtown Chilliwack BIA is welcoming McDonald back to the fold as the Entertainment Coordinator for this year’s Party in the Park events.

“Trevor is a great fit for our stage and works very hard for the promotion of local talent.” explains Williams.

The well-known local musi-cian was the entertainment coordinator and stage host for three PITP seasons from 2009 to 2011.

BIA officials announced key changes to the 2014 Party in the Park in recent months, including a more condensed four-night schedule and a renewed focus on homegrown talent for the stage.

New BIA Executive Director Kyle Williams, who also chairs the Party in the Park Committee, said McDonald was the logical choice for the position, and is excited to have him back on board after a two-year absence.

“He is a busy guy, so we were excited to hear that the new format would probably work with his schedule. We just needed to make it hap-

pen.” For his part, McDonald is

proud to once again be a part of one of the key cornerstone events in Chilliwack every summer.

“It’s no secret that I’m passionate about our down-town,” McDonald said. “In the three years I was involved, we focused on a community

Richard has made it through to the second round of CBC Radio’s Searchlight contest, which is seek-ing out top music artists from across the country.

He is now a regional semi-finalist, one his way to the big prize.

Hundreds of entries were posted online last month and the musicians were broken into regions of the country, and were searchable by music type. Fans could vote online for up to 10 contestants per region, per day.

Richard is among 25 contestants from the Vancouver area, competing against acts like Robyn & Ryleigh and Hayley McLean.

Richard had promised his fans that if he were to make it through to the second round of the contest, he would post a video of himself running through the Village whooping it up in celebration.

And true to his word, he posted that video on Monday afternoon, shortly after learning he’d made the cut.

“It’s all thank you to everybody that was involved in helping us vote,” he said. “Thank you so much everybody.”

This portion of the contest is open until Sunday, April 13. The top 10 regional finalists will be posted online the following day, and continue narrowing down with the help of votes, and eventually a panel of celebrity judges. The eventual grand prize win-ner will walk away with $20,000 worth of music equipment from Yamaha Canada Music, a profes-sional recording with CBC Music, and a spot on the bill with Tegan and Sara, and Spoon at the CBCMusic.ca Festival in Vancouver.

“Vote every day,” he encouraged his fans. “Go crazy.”

An Abbotsford com-pany has won an award from the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA) for a project in Chilliwack.

Algra Bros. Developments Ltd. was the recipient of a New Homes Award for its “Brownstones on the Boulevard” project on Garrison Boulevard in Chilliwack.

The homes are noted for their bold red brick, unique architectural facades and wrought-

iron detailing, similar to Manhattan’s upper west side penthouses or Brooklyn’s town-homes.

The honour was

presented during the CHBA’s annual SAM awards in Whistler on April 4. The awards recognize the achieve-ments of home build-

ers, renovators and developers across Canada.

The Algra Bros. project won a Georgie Award in 2012 for

Best Townhouse Development.

The company is owned and operated by brothers Phil, Peter and Dave Algra.

Time to sell? Show your home for all it’s worth!With over 1500 active residential listings available in the

Chilliwack, Agassiz and Harrison area, buyers have a good selection of inventory to choose from.

So, if you are getting your house ready to sell, the first thing you need to do is start looking at it not as the home you’ve come to love, but as a product that’s about to enter a competitive market.

To help make sure that your house is a perfect 10 when the “For Sale” sign goes up, there are a number of things you can do to ensure your house looks fresh, clean and well maintained:

If you do need to make some improvements, do the work before your home goes on the market.

Potential buyers aren’t interested in hearing about your good intentions to repair any defects before the transfer of ownership takes place.

Check your home’s curb appeal. This is where buyers make their first impressions, so make sure they get a good one. Remove any clutter in your yard, repair cracked or uneven driveways and walkways, tend to your lawn and flower beds, and ensure your windows, walls, and doors are clean.

Check the general condition of your roof, chimney and exterior walls, to see if any repairs or replacements are required.

Inside, greet buyers with a clean, clutter-free and well-lit interior, preferably with a fresh coat of paint on the walls and trim if it is needed. Eliminate any unpleasant odors, make

sure all lights work and ensure that windows and doors open and shut properly.

In the living and family rooms, bedrooms and den, keep furniture and family memorabilia to a minimum, and ensure that there is an easy flow of traffic through each room.

In the kitchen and bathrooms, clean all appliances, sinks, tubs and toilets, repair any leaks or drips and clean cabinets, mirrors, light switch plates and cupboard handles.

Make sure the foundation and basement are structurally sound, and free of cracks or water seepage.

In the garage, get rid of any broken, useless or discarded items, and use cleaning solutions to remove any oil stains from the floor.

Now that you have prepared your home for sale, remember that your Realtor is the expert in selling homes. Your Realtor will instruct you on how to keep your home prepared on a daily basis for showings, as well as give you suggestions on any aspect of your home which may still be in need of attention.

Finally, when your home is being shown by a Realtor - leave! This will help prospective buyers to imagine the house as their new home and freely voice any concerns they may have.

Your Realtor will give you feedback from other agents & their clients who have viewed your home. This feedback is valuable whether it is positive or negative and your Realtor will discuss the outcome with you if necessary.

Chilliwack is not my hometown, but it feels like it is. I was born in Tisdale, Saskatchewan and spent most of my growing up on a dairy farm. After graduation I moved to Calgary for 15 years, then my husband was transferred to the coast and we made our home in Surrey.

I moved out here as a single mom with my three kids almost 12 years ago. We loved Chilliwack immediately and my family has had a very happy life here.

So I feel like I’m well qualifi ed to work with new people coming to the area, as well as those who have been here forever, because I believe in this city. I think I’ve found a little piece of paradise and the wisest people know this to be true. Give me a call anytime for your complimentary market evaluation or if you know someone moving to town, pass along my name, because Chilliwack is my hometown now.

I have lived in Chilliwack for over 45 years, raising a family and watching this city and surrounding areas grow and prosper. I have a passion for real estate and gained knowledge by building, buying and selling my own homes in this area. I took this passion and knowledge a step further and became a realtor in 2005. As a realtor I approach clients with an honest, down to earth, trustworthy attitude. This is a major reason why referrals from past clients are the majority of my business! I have been a President’s Club recipient since 2009 and I am currently a Director on the Chilliwack and District Real Estate Board.

The walls are currently empty in Jason Tatarnic’s new office.

Eventually, he’ll hang a couple pictures — precious mementos from a Royal Bank Cup run with his 2011-12 Woodstock Slammers. He says he’ll pop by the Chiefs gift shop for a wall clock as well.

In the meantime, the only sign of occupancy is a white-board that sits on the floor, resting against the legs of a chair.

On it is the depth chart of the team he’s inheriting from outgoing hockey boss Harvey Smyl.

Written in blue marker are the players who will be returning to Chilliwack next year — guys like Jake Hand, Zach Diamantoni and Mason Boh — along with some names unfamiliar to fans. Tatarnic leans back in his chair, glances at the board and talks about evalu-ating players he’s yet to see in person.

“On Sunday I was in here for five or six hours watch-ing video, and I did some of that before I got here as

well,” Tatarnic said Tuesday morning. “I met with Harvey and got his input on last year’s players and recruits he was in discussions with, and I’ve got some recruits that I’m bringing in as well.”

Tatarnic went through a similar, if not identical situ-ation, when he took over in Woodstock prior to the 2005-06 season.

Unfamiliarity with the previous year’s roster didn’t seem to hamper him at all as he turned a last place team into a league champion.

“I knew who was return-ing and knew I had some players I wanted to bring,

and I got them all to training camp and made decisions from there,” he said. “I’m not going to make any deci-sions until I see them in person.”

In the Woodstock exam-ple, several returning vets found themselves on the outside looking in with the new coach — a cautionary tale for returning Chiefs to not take anything for grant-ed.

Tatarnic has already touched base with most players, clearly laying out his expectations. First and foremost, before he starts evaluating skating and

shooting and defensive zone coverage, Tatarnic said he’ll be looking at how players behave off the ice.

“I really stressed to them that it’s important to me to have good people in that dressing room,” he said. “I have a reputation for not put-ting up with any garbage, and that’s one thing I’ll be looking for all the time. I always tell them they’ll be people longer than they’re hockey players and they need to know that this is the direction we want to go. Either you’re in or you’re out.”

Tatarnic will welcome a

few new players early next week as the Austin Plevy trade deadline deal is announced.

In addition to Mason Boh, the Chiefs are expected to receive three more skaters from the Brooks Bandits, who just bowed out of the AJHL playoffs.

The Chiefs are also hosting their spring camp this weekend at Prospera Centre, bringing in a num-ber of recruits that Tatarnic is eager to see.

Out of that he hopes to get some commitments and start putting his stamp on this team.

It’s a first for the B.C. Hockey League.

Since the Junior A league expanded to at least two divi-sions in 1970-71, two teams who finished in third place in their respective divisions in the regular season have never met in the Fred Page Cup championship.

The Vernon Vipers and Coquitlam Express are about to make history.

Both third-place teams advanced to the league final Thursday night when the Express knocked off the top-seeded Victoria Grizzlies 4-3 in triple over-time in Victoria in what turned out to be the last game of the semi-final round-robin tournament.

“We’re extremely excited to be in the final,” said Vipers head coach Jason Williamson Friday. “We set out at the beginning of the year to be in the final as one of our goals, and hopefully win it.”

The last time the BCHL final featured two teams that failed to win their division in the regu-lar season was 2000-01, when the Victoria Salsa beat the Merritt Centennials in seven games. Both finished in second place during the season.

The 1992 Vernon Lakers

(fourth) and ‘91 Lakers (third) are the lowest seeds to win the championship.

Coquitlam’s victory gave them a record of 2-1 through three games and eliminated Victoria, who were 0-3. The Vipers were 2-0 after taking their first two games.

The Express win gives Vernon home-ice advantage, as the Vipers were seeded second in the three-team round-robin, and Coquitlam was ranked third.

Both teams (Vernon, 11 days; Coquitlam, eight days) will have lengthy layoffs prior to the start of the best-of-seven Fred Page Cup championship Friday night, April 11, at Kal Tire Place. Game 2 is Saturday in Vernon before the series shifts to Coquitlam for Games 3 and 4 Monday and Tuesday, April 14 and 15.

Daniell Lange, on one of the few shifts he received in over-time, was the hero for Coquitlam Thursday.

He deflected home a Marc Biega wrister at 6:51 of the third overtime period to win it for the Express.

Coquitlam tied the game with exactly one minute left in regu-lation time on a goal by Ryan Rosenthal.

The Vipers whipped the Express 6-1 March 30 at Kal Tire Place in their second game of the

semi-final round robin. Each team won at home during the season.

“We’ve always stressed we wanted to go about this the right way and win our way into the Royal Bank Cup,” said Williamson. “There’s only two teams left in our league and we’ve put ourselves into a good position.”

The winner of the Fred Page Cup will advance to the Western Canada Cup in Dauphin, Man. starting April 20 with the winners of the Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba leagues, along with the host Dauphin Kings.

The top two teams from that tournament advance to the Royal Bank Cup Canadian tournament May 10-18 at Kal Tire Place.

The defending RBC Cup cham-pion Brooks Bandits will not repeat.

They were knocked out in the Alberta league semifinals by the Drumheller Dragons, who will face the Fort McMurray Oil Barons or Spruce Grove Saints in the league final. Fort Mac leads 3-2 with game six tonight in the Fort.

Yorkton Terriers and Melville Millionaires are contesting the Saskatchewan final. The Manitoba league final features the Dauphin Kings and Winnipeg Blues. Both teams qualify for the Western Canada Cup.

On a beautiful spring morning we said goodbye to our beloved Rita as she slipped the bounds of this earth to continue on the next stage of her great journey.

Who was Rita? She was a daughter - alongside her sisters Irene (Gene), Marion (Ken), and Sharon (Joe) - to Charlie and Gertrude Paris, who both predeceased her. She was a mother to Cathy and John, borne from her fi rst marriage to Chris Hummel, who passed away in 1983. She was a wife to Stephen, her second husband, a perfect pairing that gave both the opportunity to fi nd love once again. She was a stepmother and a grandmother too, a role which Rita cherished. Many nieces and nephews are also touched by the loss of their Aunty Rita.

Born and raised in Vancouver, Rita and Chris would rear their own family on the Sunshine Coast until Chris’ untimely passing. Not long after, Rita would return to the city, settling in North Van, where she would eventually meet and then marry Stephen in 1998. The couple moved to Chilliwack in 2005, where they would spend their remaining years together.

Whether she was snowbirding down in Arizona, cruising through the Panama locks, or just taking the RV to a more local destination for a week or two, Rita loved to travel. Stephen and Rita shared many of these good times with many friends, both old and new, who will be just as saddened by her loss as her family is.

Rita was a practical, no-nonsense woman who always seemed to know the sensible course of action...and this straightforwardness of her character rarely left any doubt as to which side of the fence she was on. This clarity of reason she possessed aided her in becoming the master of her own destiny during these last few months, and the strength and grace she exhibited during these trying times - as much for herself as for those around her - serve as an example to us all on how one may die with dignity.

It is with heavy hearts that we say our fi nal farewell to Rita, yet we may all take comfort in knowing that the memories she’s left us with will help us to smile once again. We love you.

Our heartfelt thanks go out to the staff and volunteers at Cascades Hospice for doing such a wonderful job in making Mom comfortable during her fi nal weeks. In lieu of fl owers the family gratefully requests that you make a donation to the charity/organization of your choosing.
