Tara Patrick hasn’t had a lot ofluck with used vehicles.
Over the last two years, theChilliwack single mother of fourhas watched in despair as a totalof nine cheap junkers have died onher.
One gave out on Highway 1 whileshe was taking her six-year-old sonKole to a specialist appointment inAbbotsford, but not all have gone
so quietly—like the van that burstinto flames without warning whileshe was driving along the HaneyBypass in Maple Ridge.
And before last week, Tara wasalready resigned to the inevitableand imminent demise of her latestjunker: a $1,800 Chevy Blazer herparents bought for her in the sum-
mer, only to learn a short time laterthat the undercarriage had beentrashed by a previous owner.
Tara didn’t have the money to fixit and she knew she was driving onborrowed time.
But last week she caught a rarebreak.
At a surprise presentation at Fix
Auto Thursday morning, she washanded the keys to a fully refur-bished 2002 Toyota Sienna compli-ments of Valley Toyota as this year’swinner of the ninth annual Chilli-wack Times Fix Auto ChristmasCar Giveaway.
“This is unbelievable,” Tara said,wiping away tears and repeatedly
thanking the small crowd of donorsand family that had gathered forthe occasion.
Tara was due for a bit of goodfortune, according to her momSandra, who nominated her for thegiveaway.

Rising ice-cold water had reachedthe neck of the 18-year-old driv-er of a flipped car by the time
RCMP officers pulled the teenager tosafety Monday morning.
Police have released more detailsof the dramatic rescue of the Chilli-wack woman, whose Hyundai flippedupside down into a water-filled ditchon Gibson Road just before noon.
Mounties responded to a 9-1-1 callfrom the driver. She told the 9-1-1 dis-patcher that her car was filling quicklywith water and was already at herwaist. Then the phone line went dead.
Police arrived on the scene to findthe Hyundai lying in deep water withonly its tires exposed.
Knowing time was running out,several Mounties entered the ditch inorder to lift the car up to expose theback window. As they did so, anotherofficer attempted to break the windowwith a punch. The first strikes wereunsuccessful, but eventually the win-dow gave way. The officer then pulled
the woman to safety, with both need-ing to swim to the ditch’s surface.
The woman was taken to hospital,suffering from Stage 1 hypothermia.
The RCMP have released neitherthe driver’s name, nor those of herrescuers.
“By the time police reached me,the water was up to my neck,” thevictim said in an RCMP press release.
“A bunch of the officers went in thewater to lift the car and the next thingI knew I was being pulled out; we hadto swim. I am just so grateful to every-one who was there yesterday to helpme.”
One officer received several stitchesin his hand as well as a bad sprain,according to police.
“This is such a heroic act,” RCMP
spokesperson Const. Tracy Wolbecksaid. “A lot of bravery and selflessnesson the part of all the officers involvedwent into saving this woman’s life.”
Mounties say an ornament of aguardian angel was later found in theoverturned vehicle, to the surprise ofthe driver. It was returned and nowhangs on the driver’s family Christ-mas tree.

AGrade 6 Robertsonelementary schoolstudent who orga-
nized a successful toy andclothing Christmas drive wasmet with thanks and appre-ciation when she droppedoff the proceeds from herefforts Thursday afternoonat Ruth & Naomi’s Mission.
Mykenzie Nelson, 11, saidshe felt sorry for those whowouldn’t otherwise be open-ing any presents on Christ-mas Day.
“It’s around Christmastime and everyone shouldhave at least one present,”Mykenzie told the Times.
So Mykenzie decided to
organize a drive to gatherused clothing and toys fromher classmates. Her idea wasadopted by the entire school,and on Thursday she helpedunload a car stuffed withdonated clothing and toys atRuth and Naomi’s.
Robertson held a competi-tion between various “teamgroups,” each comprisingseveral classrooms, with theteam that donated the mostgetting a joint prize.
“I feel proud because ofhow much we brought in,”said Mykenzie. “It all lookspretty brand new too.”
Mykenzie said she person-ally donated several bagsof clothing, along with twoboxes full of toys and stuffedanimals.

Dozens of Sto:lo Nationmembers and sup-porters marched to
Chilliwack-Fraser Canyon MPMark Strahl’s constituencyoffice Friday morning as partof a nationwide First Nationsprotest.
Approximately 20 of the 60people in attendance jammedinto Strahl’s foyer and waitingroom drumming and sing-ing as part of Idle no More, alocal version of a protest thatbegan as an exercise in socialmedia and grew to a nationalmovement.
The focus for the day wasthe federal government’somnibus budget legislationBill C-45, which includes pro-visions that affect the IndianAct and the Navigable WatersProtection Act.
But the main complaintfrom protesters was a lackof government consultationwith aboriginal people.
“This won’t be the last time,”Skwah First Nationmember Eddie Gard-ner said in Strahl’soffice. “We aren’tgoing to stop untilour aboriginal rightsare considered.”
Strahl was not inhis office, so protest-ers directed theirmessage to his constituencyassistant Matthew Barker.
Former Yukon MLA andSto:lo member MargaretCommodore had a messagefor Barker.
“I would like you to tellMark Strahl that he repre-sents the Sto:lo Nation in thehouse of Parliament,” saidCommodore, who served asa New Democrat representa-tive for two Whitehorse rid-ings from 1982 to 1996.
“Mark Strahl has not spo-ken up against this racist leg-islation and we want to knowwhy.”
“Let him know that Sto:
lo territory is a Bill C-45 freezone,” Gardner added.
Grand Chief Clarence Pen-nier spoke at an Idle No Morepreparatory meeting andinformation session held ear-lier in the week. Pennier wasnot at Friday’s march but onThursday he told the Timesabout his concerns with BillC-45.
“The government is sup-posed to be consulting—that
has come out of aSupreme Court ofCanada decision—when they makechanges that impacton us,” Pennier said.“That is what theyare supposed to doand they are notdoing it.”
While Strahl wasn’t presentFriday, he did respond viaemail to a Times request tocomment on Idle No More.
“Provisions in Bill C-45,Jobs and Growth Act, 2012have been debated in theHouse of Commons, com-mittee and media for eightmonths,” he said in part.“The purpose of the bill is tohelp all Canadians includingFirst Nations to better pursueand seize economic oppor-tunities.”
Strahl said the amend-ments will provide flexibilityfor First Nations to engage ineconomic development, and
reduce red tape for develop-ment on reserve lands.
As to the concerns aboutperceived reduction in envi-ronmental protection, Strahlsaid the changes regardingwaterways govern navigationand not environmental pro-tection.
“Bodies of water such asthe Vedder River and FraserRiver will continue to be pro-tected through the CanadianEnvironmental AssessmentAct, 2012, the Canadian Envi-ronmental Protection Act andthe Fisheries Act,” he said.
Bill C-45 passed earlier thismonth despite attempts bythe opposition to stall or killthe legislation. Among otheritems in the massive bill arechanges to public sectorpensions, pay raises for judg-es and an electronic travelauthorization system.
Since the bill has alreadypassed, Pennier was askedwhat was the point of theprotest.
“It’s meant to give a mes-sage to the Prime Ministerthat he didn’t do the thingshe is supposed to do in termsof the Indian Act and theFisheries Act,” he said.
“So, it’s something that wehave to do because it’s partof our responsibility to lookafter our land water and air;it’s why we were placed onthis Earth as Sto:lo.”

There’s a difference with Jag’s MJM.Post-Sale Commitment!
The contest I helped run thismonth to name CanadaLands Company’s next big
development was an eye-opener.What I thought would be a
simple task of gathering a coupledozen ideas turned into a lessonin ecology, biology, geography,anthropology, history, and FirstNations culture with more than200 suggestions.
There were also a few laughsalong the way, such as the womanwho told me how nice it would beto win something this time of year. . . and then didn’t submit a name.Or the guy who said the name Par-amount should be incorporatedand the large neon sign shouldbe erected at the entrance of thedevelopment.
(Note: I had nothing to do withthe decision for the name chosen,River’s Edge, a name entered byfive different people.)
In the end I received 213 entriesfor the contest.
The word “river” was the mostcommon with 52 appearances.
Next up was 35 occurrences of“Vedder.” “Estate” appeared 26times, “village” 16 times, “cross-ing” 15 times, “green” 13 times,and there were 11 entries eachwith the words “landing” and“edge.”
Local wildlife proved popular.There were six steelheads, sixherons, three eagles, two salmonsand one each of a coho, chinook,coyote, kingfisher and sandpiper.
Three people suggested Cent-
reville, which I thought at first odduntil I learned that in 1881 a largesubdivision bearing that namewas developed. For six years Cen-treville was the name for much ofthe city that is now Chilliwack.
There were a couple of choices Ithought peculiar: Commonplace,People City and LOHAS, or Life-styles of Health and Sustainability.
There were a few entries withuncommon or foreign words thatwould have likely raised a feweyebrows: Verdant Heights, PortaVerde, Viridian, Le Grande RivieraEstates, Adagio Estates, Cor Viride,Alluvial Estates and Calypso Vil-lage.
One in six entries had someform of military reference, whichisn’t surprising given the propertyforms the western edge of whatwas once CFB Chilliwack. Part ofthe 50-acre property was used formunitions storage and part wasused for training.
A few of the names with militaryreferences: Trainers Meadows,Sappers Green, Reveille Place,Sentry Woods, Bell Tent Acres,Bunker Estates and MunitionsPark.
There were also Homes at the
Guardian andWoodland Quarters,which might be military references.
As for First Nations ideas, therewere just three: One suggestionused the Halq’emeylem word“Eleya” meaning “to dream.”
Another was Sto:lo Grove.Then there was “Iliyethels,” the
Halq’emeylem word meaningmouth of the river. The personentering that name wrote: “Afterall the displacement and expro-priation of land from the Sto:lopeoples this would be appropriateand compassionate. Let’s not for-get whose land this really is.”
There were also a few interest-ing suggestions to honour people.Three used “Caroline,” whichwould have named a develop-ment after a 1947 Sherman M4tank, which in turn was namedafter the daughter of local veterantank driver and instructor RollieKeith.
One suggestions was MeagherVillage named after provincialcourt judge Thomas Meagherwho, I am told, sat on the bench inChilliwack, served the communitywell and died in 1998.
Another was Hensrud Crossing,to honour well-respected retiredairborne member Darrell Hen-srud, who apparently lived nextto the development, and recentlylost his final battle against cancer.
There were a lot of good ideasand thoughtful suggestions and itwas great to hear from membersof the community just what’s in aname.
It alwaysfeels greatto giveW
ith so many people in needin our community and ourworld, it’s sometimes hard toresist the temptation to throw
up our hands and do nothing.What’s the point of scratching the sur-
face with isolated acts of charity?Some even say such efforts, unless
they’re aimed at root problems, are coun-terproductive.
“Don’t give the guy on the street corner atoonie. He’ll just use it for drugs.”
“Don’t give the third-world guy a fish.Teach him to fish instead.”
Wise as those sentiments might be, mostof us don’t respond by educating ourselvesabout complex social problems and get-ting more involved in tackling them.
Many of us respond by throwing up ourhands and doing nothing.
But letting the perfect be the enemy ofthe good when it comes to charity not onlycuts us off from doing what we can, it alsogets us out of the habit of giving.
That’s why for nine years we at the Timeshave been happy to have the chance to doat least one solid good deed every Christ-mas through the Chilliwack Times FixAuto Car Giveaway.
It’s true: the businesses that get togetherevery year to give a fully refurbished andreliable used car to someone who reallyneeds it could do more—we all could.
But we’re happy that hasn’t stoppedthem from stepping up and doing some-thing.
Because it’s nice to know that right nowa single mom and her four kids are driv-ing around town without worrying aboutwhether their vehicle will make it home.
It’s nice to know a single mom who’s try-ing to build a better life for her kids herein Chilliwack now has one less obstacle toovercome.
And it’s nice to know we’ve been a partof that.
It might not have ended world hunger,but one little family is happier because ofthe Christmas Car Giveaway, and those ofus who’ve been involved have once againbeen reminded how great it feels to give.

Editor:I would like to support the PRTC
in defense of the article in the Dec.18 Chilliwack Times.
I am so surprised of complaintsof the noise of pistol fire fromRCMP officers by UFV students.After the shootings that have takenplace at schools recently, I wouldfeel better knowing my son wasattending that campus, surround-ed by the RCMP.
The RCMP need to practicesomewhere so they will be readyto protect our community. Look atthe bigger picture. They keep ourcommunity from harm.
We should be thanking them,not complaining.

Disagreement isalways healthyEditor:
Re: Dissent, debate and decency(the Times, Dec. 13).
When one runs for elected office,you never know exactly who yourpotential co-workers are going tobe.
Seven people are not likely to
agree on every issue and dissentafter an informed and healthydebate is part of our democraticprocess. Where things get toxicis when individuals focus on per-sonalities instead of issues – poordecisions can result from a knee-jerk reaction to instinctively goagainst something just because“the other side” is in favour of it.Better decisions are made afterhaving an open mind to the infor-mation available and listening todebate.
As the newly elected chairmanat Cultus Lake Park, it is my jobto ensure that board business isconducted in a respectful andprofessional manner. I have notolerance for character attacks,
whether presented directly or instealth.
Disagreement is a healthy partof governance, as long as it isissues-based and never personal.This is how I conduct businessfor the board and the public willbenefit from the better decisionsthat will result from a respectfuldecorum.

Excellent job onrecent symposiumEditor:

did an excellent job planning andmoderating the recent sympo-sium on whether or not religionshould enter the realm of politicalaction.

Elected officialsneed to be stoppedEditor:
Are Canadians victims of anoth-er hit and run?
Were PM Harper and ChristyClark passed out at the wheelwhen a federal judge turned down300 Canadian mine workers a jobopportunity to work in a TumblerRidge coal mining operation.
The Chinese Mining Co.required a $16,000 applicationfee from each applicant plus arequirement to be fluent in Man-darin or no job. In fact, not oneCanadian applicant was hired but200 Chinese workers are getting
work permits and the jobs.These unemployed Cana-
dian mine workers should applyfor government jobs, lots ofmoney: Harper at $317,574 plus$78,600/year expenses, MPslike Mark Strahl at $157,731plus, civil servants averaging$114,000/year, Christy Clark at$177,888 plus $81,230 expenses,MLAs at $102,138 plus up to$60,000 expenses/year and finallya federal judge who sides withforeign workers instead of Cana-dians earns between $263,000 to$308,400/year.
So what do we do? Maybe aroadside suspension or should wejust fire them? All the above hadsome part in allowing this degra-dation of the Canadian way.
Please Canadians, wake up,demand from your politicians tostop and get back to work for us,no more secret deals, no moretrade agreements, no more strip-ping this country of our naturalresources and no secret FIPPAdeals.
Shame on you elected andappointed who close your eyesand turn your backs to Canadians.Real Canadians find your actionsintolerable.

Valley Toyota got the Sien-na on a trade-in and donat-ed it after making a couple

candidate especially forsomeone with a family that’sgoing to need to haul aroundkids and cargo and all thatstuff,” Larsen said.
Along with the car, the Pat-rick family also drove awaywith a pack of other Christ-mas goodies: $250 worth ofinsurance from HUB BartonInsurance, $200 worth ofservice as well as free align-ment and safety inspectionfrom Simpson Automotive,

ing, with 17 of those games againstMainland Division rivals. The Chiefsare12-1-1-1 against division rivalsso far. The Chiefs will also play theLangley Rivermen five more times.Chilliwack has won the teams’ firstthree meetings. With 14 of the Chiefs’remaining games at home. Chilliwackhas just three major road trips left:one to Prince George, one to Vancou-ver Island and one to the Okanagan.
The Times asked Chilli-wack Chiefs players andcoaches what they’ll be doingChristmas Day, who they’llbe doing it with, and whatthey hope to find under theirtree when they wake up.
Like many hockey fans,Chiefs defenceman ShayLaurent has asked Santato end the NHL lockout
(although teammate Trevor Hillsclaims Laurent stole his gift idea).Josh Hansen is also wishing for NHLhockey in the new year. Back to Lau-rent, the defensive defenceman hadasked for a goal for Christmas but
got his wish early when he scoredearlier this month against Langley.Teammate
Cooper Rush was more demand-ing, asking for 20 goals.
The Chiefs are a fashionablebunch, with Austin Plevy and MitchGillam apparently leading the way.Plevy listed his most memorableChristmas gift as a Nixon watch.Gillam, as it happens, says the onething he wants this year is a Nixonblack-on-black-on-black watch.In addition to the goals, Rush alsowants a watch.
Gillam will be spending Christ-mas with his girlfriend Jennifer, herfamily and their dog Taffy. And whilehe may be following Plevy’s leadwhen it comes to accessorizing, he’salso one of the fashion trendset-ters in the Chiefs’ locker room. A
Sportsnet feature earlier this monthexposed his affinity for wacky suits,and he told theTimes that his mostmemorable Christmas gift was aDon Cherry jacket.
His backup Josh Halpenny wantsa new suit for Christmas. No wordon what colour(s). And defencemanEric Roberts just says he wants newclothes.
Transportation also plays a bigpart in the Chiefs’ Christmas wishlists, but not in the way you mightexpect. Brodyn Nielsen, for one, iseasy to buy for. Although his mostmemorable Christmas gift ever wasa trip to Disneyland, gas couponsare now at the top of the scrappyforward’s list.
Meanwhile,JaretBabych—whowillcelebrate in NorthVancouver withaseafood dinner and whose most
And hockey equipment, perhapsunsurprisingly, also figures large inthe Chiefs’ Christmas memoriesand wishes.
Defenceman Ben Israel says theone thing he wants for Christmas isa batch of Bauer hockey sticks.
Luke Esposito’s most memorableChristmas gift was a TPS RubberResponse hockey stick. Like-wise, Tanner Cochrane and RyanDonohoe’s prize gifts are their firstone-piece sticks. Cochrane—whowants a new tattoo for Christmasthis year—remembers getting hisfirst one-piece stick when he wasnine. Donohoe, who wants a guitarthis year, can still remember

the brand of stick: an Eastern Syn-ergy. Garrett Forster, meanwhile,fondly remembers getting his firstpair of skates for Christmas.
A pair of Chiefs have stoppedlooking to Santa and started look-ing to their coaches to make theirChristmas dreams come true.
Forster and Ben Masella bothsay that, more than anything else,they dream of getting some powerplay time for Christmas.
And although one wonderswhen they had the time to hit themountain, Israel and Halpennyboth say their favourite gifts fromyears gone by were snowboards.
Almost all the Chiefs say theywill be spending time with theirfamilies this Christmas. Many,though, say they’ll also make timefor the good ol’ hockey game.
Luke Esposito’s family tradi-tion—his family includes uncleMark Messier—is to head outskating on a pond, with each per-son wearing a different hockeyjersey.
Alexandre Perron-Fontaine andTrevor Hills also play hockey eachyear with family and friends.
As for Chiefs captain DavidThompson, who wants a lifetimesupply of Starbucks, he’ll head tohis cousin’s house to play “rein-deer games.”
The Chiefs headed home forChristmas atop the BCHL Main-land Division standings andpoised to do some damage in
the playoffs this year. And there’slikely more than a few Chiefs alsosilently echoing Luke Esposito’swish: a Royal Bank Cup.
Coaches wishes
The Chiefs’ coaches also havetheir own wishes, memories andtraditions—some hockey-relatedtoo.
Head coach Harvey Smyl willspend Christmas in Chilliwackwith his kids. On Christmas Eve,they’ll indulge in their traditionalcrab feast. Smyl’s most memo-rable gift was a pair of CCM Tacksskates. This year, he wants a dif-ferent sort of toy: a Harley Fat Boy.
There was no such thing ascomposite hockey sticks whenassistant coach Doug Ast wastearing up the British ColumbiaJunior Hockey League in theearly 90s. Ast’s most memorablegift was a Red Titan TPM hockeystick, a wooden twig favoured byGretzky. This year, Ast—who willhost his in-laws for Christmasdinner—has an even more extrav-agant gift wish than Smyl: to winthe Lotto Max.
Assistant coach Brandon Flee-nor, meanwhile, won’t be disap-pointed. Coming from a “thrifty”family, his most memorable giftwas a Nintendo console given oneyear after all his friends receivedtheirs. This year, he says hedoesn’t want anything, except tobe happy. Oh, and he also wantsa couple wins once the Chiefs getback on the ice.
