Storm’s impact on city trees still being assessed

Jessica PetersThe Progress

The plum trees along Yale Road in Chilliwack were the hardest hit during last week’s blast of snow, ice and wind.

While early numbers suggest-ed about 200 city trees were heav-ily damaged, Mayor Sharon Gaetz said “the number of reports of trees damaged are way up.”

It’s going to take at least anoth-er two weeks to clean up from the storm, as the city’s arborist assesses the damage.

In addition to the plum trees on Yale, other areas hard hit were the Garrison Crossing residential area and the UFV campus on Yale Road.

“Some of the trees appear to only have broken limbs,” said Jamie Legatt, the city’s commu-nications manager. “If that’s the case they will try to prune them. But some of them have struc-tural cracks that travel down the trunk.”

Most of the removed trees will be replaced, with the exception of those along Yale Road by UFV. Those trees were already compet-ing for light due to overcrowding.

While Gaetz agrees it’s hard to see the plum trees damaged and removed, she said the city has a plan in place to keep neighbour-hoods full of colour.

“We hold great value in trees in the City of Chilliwack,” she said. “Our arborist is working really hard and we will do our best to save them. They’re so beautiful and they make such a statement in the spring,” she said. The city is learning that it’s not a good idea to plant all of the same species of trees in a row.

Greg KnillThe Progress

One person is dead and a quiet cul-de-sac in Chilliwack was behind police tape Tuesday following a shooting Monday evening.

The incident happened at around 11 p.m. on Hazel Street, just off First Avenue.

Police had been called to a vehicle accident, but quickly determined the driver had died of injuries “inconsistent with a crash.”

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team was called in.

They’ve identified the victim

as 39-year-old Chilliwack resi-dent Stuart David Ellis. He is known to police.

Ronald Worden lives next door to where the vehicle came to a stop. He said he heard two shots and then a loud crash, “like a car hitting another car.” He then heard what sounded like a vehicle speeding away.

He raced outside to find neigh-bours around the red SUV and the driver covered in blood. One of the neighbours, believed by Worden to be either a former or off-duty police officer, was checking for a pulse, but found none.

Across the driver’s lap, said

Worden, was what appeared to be a firearm.

Police were on the scene with-in minutes, as well as ambulance and the fire department.

A resident said the victim lived in the area and that he had just met his wife walking in the nearby park the day before.

Residents of about 80 homes were cut off while the investiga-tion continued Tuesday morn-ing.

One of the neighbours said there was loud music coming from the parking lot of a nearby church prior to the incident. She said she wasn’t sure if it was related, but it was unusual.

IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Stephanie Ashton said investiga-tors do not believe this was a random act, there is no reason to be concerned for public safety.

The investigation is still in the early stages, and police have yet to confirm anything. IHIT contin-ues to work in partnership with Chilliwack RCMP, the Forensic Identification Section and ICARS to determine what occurred, she said.

Anyone with information relat-ed to this investigation can call the IHIT Tipsline at 1-877-551-4448.

Bobby Henline started his working life as a soldier, but today spends his time as a motivational speaker and comedian. Henline was a veteran of Desert Storm by the age of 19. He was stirred to enlist again after 9/11 and was deployed to Iraq three times with the 82nd Airborne Division and 3rd Armored Calvary regiment.

On his fourth tour, on Apr. 7, 2007, a Humvee was traveling in was hit by a roadside bomb just north of Baghdad. Four men were killed. While Henline was the sole survivor, almost 40 per cent of his body was burned. His head was burned to the skull and he spent the next six months in hospital. To date, he’s had more than 40 surgeries, and is an amputee.

Henline has chosen to look at his situation in a positive light. At the urging of a therapist, he has pursued his new career, speaking with humour and honesty on stage around North America for the past several years.

A massive event that has brought together veterans each summer for the past three years is coming to Chilliwack.

The Wounded Warriors Weekend, taking place July 31 to Aug. 3, is expected to draw in 250 participants to share in some much-needed relaxation, recreation and camaraderie. But more than anything, the weekend offers a chance for healing, and feeling a little less alone in the world.

The focus in on those ‘wound-ed warriors’ who are dealing with the effects of post traumatic stress disorder. While the weekend first was started with war vets in mind, it now has grown to include a wide range of participants. RCMP members, members of the mili-tary, fire fighters, first responders and Corrections Canada employ-ees are all welcome to take part in the activities of the weekend.

“It’s a self healing weekend,” said organizer Bill Higdon. There are no counsellors at the ready, no overly structured plans to fol-low. But there will be plenty to do for those who come. Last year the event was held in Slave Lake, AB and the activities offered includ-ed golfing, fishing, a motorcycle rodeo, a large gala event, a dance and a wind up party.

And none of it costs a dime to those participating. Everything from air travel from anywhere in country, to accommodations (at the Pacific Regional Training Centre’s Executive Hotel), to the recreation portion, meals and entertainment, are all offered free to those who attend.

Post traumatic stress can be debilitating, and can lead to depression and suicide.

There were a reported 178 Canadian soldier suicides between 2002 and 2014 — 20

more than the number of armed forces members killed in action. While the rate is in line with the general population, it’s believed the common link in many of those deaths is post traumatic stress disorder.

Common complaints includ-ed excessive fears and anxiety, memories that won’t go away, cold sweats and anger. Even a car backfiring in a peaceful sub-urban neighbourhood can trigger flashbacks. And enough of these triggers can force the country’s strongest and bravest people to barricade themselves off from the world, their friends, and even their own spouses and children.

But the tide may be turning, as post traumatic stress, depression and suicide are becoming better studied and less stigmatized.

Talking about it really can help.And that’s really what the

Wounded Warriors Weekend is all about. The organizing team is looking for partners to help make the weekend a success. The average cost to cater to each participant (including travel) is $2,500. Covering the costs for the participants eliminates any financial barriers, as many of the Wounded Warriors are no longer employed.

“We strive to bring more aware-ness to the Wounded Warriors Weekend that works to promote the healing of damaged souls with the combination of nature, music, compassion and renewed support,” the organizers said. Between now and the August long weekend, they will be host-ing numerous fundraising events and accepting donations.

Any money in excess of what is needed for the weekend will be forwarded to next year’s com-mittee.

How to Help There are a few ways to help the organizing committee fundraise

for the Wounded Warriors Weekend. On Jan. 24, the Vedder Legion is holding a dinner by donation

featuring pulled pork sandwiches. Dinner is served from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

Tickets are also on sale for their Valentine’s Day dinner event, to be held on Feb. 14 at the Best Western. The dinner will feature comedian Bobby Henline and Elvis tribute artist Jeff Bodner, along with a silent and live auction. Tickets are $50 and can purchased from the Vedder Legion.

To donate to the Wounded Warriors Weekend, purchase tickets, sponsor a participant, or nominate a ‘wounded warrior’ contact Jeff Bodner at 604-316-7882 or visit www.woundedwarriorsweekend.org.

Vandalism has hit two elementary schools this month, with playground structured burned at one and numer-ous windows smashed out at another. The fire took place at Robertson ele-mentary on Sunday night, at an older wooden structure within the school’s playground.

Gerry Slykhuis, secretary trea-surer at Chilliwack school district, said that playground will likely be removed sometime this week by staff.

“Our guys will take that out pret-ty quickly,” he said. “They’ll prob-

ably pull the whole thing out and then we’ll have a discussion with the school about replacing it.”

It was a small component of the playground and would cost between $8,000 and $10,000 to replace. While playgrounds are generally funded through parent advisory councils’ fundraising efforts, acts of vandal-ism fall under the district’s insurance policy.

Slykhuis said vandalism hits the school district in spurts, and that vandals usually hit areas that are in less visible areas of the schools. That was the case the weekend prior, when someone broke about 20 windows at

Little Mountain elementary, he said. The double-paned windows were

smashed out in areas that are hidden from public view. While the school district employs security cameras to help identify vandals and thieves, sus-pects are usually clad in hoodies and dark clothing. The district is consid-ering roll down shutters for some of Little Mountain elementary school’s windows. It’s an expensive but effec-tive tactic in use at several schools already in Chilliwack, Slykhuis said.

“They’re pretty durable,” he added. “It does help, and it is a deterrent.”

School vandalism adding up Charges pending following seizure of drugs, firearms

Charges are pending against three people following a raid on a Chilliwack home Dec. 30 that turned up nine firearms, and drugs believed to be methamphetamine and heroin.

Chilliwack RCMP, including the emergency response team and police dog services, searched the home, located in the 460000 block of 3rd Avenue.

Inside, they found several individuals, as well as the drugs and firearms.

Chilliwack Drug Section continues its investigation and charges are pending against three individuals.

The RCMP are encouraging anyone with information relation to suspicious activity in their neighbourhoods to phone and report it. Chilliwack RCMP can be reached at 604-792-4611, or if you wish to remain anonymous call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS).

NewsTree damage

“If something goes wrong with one of them, it goes wrong with all of them,” Gaetz added, includ-ing pest infestations and diseases. The city had already removed some plum trees in certain areas, such as Airport Road, and replaced them with trees that complement the beauty of the plum trees.

“They (staff) thought ‘let’s have a show of colour in every season,’” Gaetz said.

As for the trees hanging in the delicate balance of nature right now, city staff will attempt to save as many as possible. The ones being removed are subsequently chipped and sent to the Parr Road green waste site.

Gaetz said that while the full cost of the storm’s havoc won’t be known until the clean up is com-plete, the price tag on a replacement tree for the city is about $300.

NewsWater quality threatened at Cultus, says researcherJennifer FeinbergThe Progress

New research shows that water quality at Cultus Lake is suffer-ing the effects of nutri-ent loading, known as “eutrophication.”

The nutrients find their way into the lake water from the rain, snow and dust, as well as from bird droppings and septic leaching.

Excessive nutrients are from agricultural fertilizers and soil ero-sion, which can cut oxy-gen levels in the popu-lar lake and threaten fish habitat.

The upshot is more algae, more weeds like Eurasian water milfoil, and less water clarity.

Dr. Daniel Selbie, a limnologist, will be speaking on the topic, Jan. 22 at Cultus com-munity school.

He’ll be discussing the latest research by SFU master’s student Annika Putt which points to culprits such as increased human activity around the lake, and a population of resi-dent gulls.

“We have strong evidence that Cultus Lake water quality has changed significantly over the past several decades, and with

Annika Putt’s masters research, for the first time, we know the main factors driving this change,” he said.

The extra delivery of nutrients has kicked off something called “cul-tural eutrophication,” characterized by elevat-ed growth of algae and potentially other aquatic plants, such as invasive Eurasian water milfoil.

Part of it, they’ve found is coming from nitrogen and phospho-rus.

“An unexpected find-ing” was that some of the nutrients are from airborne fertilizers as well as vehicle and industrial emissions in the Fraser Valley air-shed.

Other important sources are septic system leaching, and droppings from certain gulls.

“Since high lev-els of nutrients from atmospheric sources have been found in the Cultus watershed and in other parts of the Lower Mainland, it is possible that urban and agricultural emissions that are transported in precipitation and dust are impacting aquatic ecosystems throughout the region,” said Selbie. “The study highlights

that sound integrated watershed and airshed management is critical for the sustainable use and enjoyment of Cultus Lake in the future.”

Selbie is an Adjunct Professor at Simon Fraser University’s School of Resource and Environmental Management, and Head of the Lakes Research Program for Fisheries and Oceans Canada’s Science Branch. Selbie co-supervised the mas-

ter’s level research study.

There’s strong inter-est in water quality.

“If left unchecked, excess algal growth depletes oxygen for fish in the deep water of the lake, reduces water clarity, creates taste and odour problems, threat-ens fish habitat, and makes a lake less attrac-tive for swimming, fish-ing, boating and other recreation.”

Eutrophication can

devastate food webs for Cultus Lake’s rare and endangered native fish, like the Cultus sockeye salmon, and the Cultus pygmy sculpin.

Dr. Daniel Selbie will make a presenta-tion on the research on Jan. 22 from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the Cultus Lake Community School. This is a free event host-ed by participants in the Cultus Lake Aquatic Stewardship Strategy. Everyone is welcome.

“ S p a t i o t e m p o r a l nutrient loading to Cultus Lake: Context for Eutrophication and Implications for Integrated Watershed-Lake Management” is a 2014 Master of

Resource Management research study by Annika Elsie Putt, available on the Simon Fraser University web-site: https://theses.lib.sfu.ca/thesis/etd8600.

NewsLNG plans continue in 2015 despite slumping oil pricesTom FletcherBlack Press

The shakeout of liquefied natu-ral gas proposals for

B.C. continues, with ExxonMobil’s large-scale project for Prince Rupert moving ahead and smaller projects changing or withdraw-

ing plans.ExxonMobil and

its Canadian sub-sidiary Imperial Oil have filed a detailed description with

B.C.’s Environmental Assessment Of fice, planning for a city-owned site on Tuck Inlet north of Prince Rupert Harbour.

One of the larger of 18 B.C. proposals, West Coast Canada LNG (WCC LNG) pro-poses up to five float-ing barges for LNG

loading with onshore support facilities, and an estimated capital cost of $15-25 billion. WCC LNG plans to start construction by

2017 and be in service by 2024.

WCC LNG sorted through a half dozen sites in the Kitimat and Prince Rupert area, where the larger of B.C.’s 18 current LNG export propos-als are also claiming sites. Natural Gas Development Minister Rich Coleman says 2015 is when the LNG industry begins to take shape, despite a slump in oil prices and rising competition from U.S. and other gas produc-ers.

“New drilling activ-ity in our upstream sector demonstrates investors remain con-fident in B.C.’s long-term natural gas potential,” Coleman said in a New Year commentary released last week. “One of our province’s largest Crown land sales in history occurred near the end of 2014, with industry contributing more than $209 million for exploration right alone.”

Proponents of Aurora LNG Grassy Point near Prince Rupert withdrew that application to start the year, focusing on another site at Digby Island.

Also withdrawn is the Farrell Creek raw gas processing plant north of Hudson’s Hope, a project taken over by Chinese-owned Progress Energy. Progress is a part-ner with PETRONAS in Pacific Northwest LNG at Lelu Island near Prince Rupert, with its investment decision postponed indefinitely late last year amid changing global energy supply and demand.

Woodfibre LNG near Squamish is another small-scale project moving ahead, with its application for B.C. environmental assess-ment accepted at the end of 2014.

The public com-ment period closed for another large-scale proposal, the Shell-led LNG Canada proposal for Kitimat.

News

Crimestoppers has released images from video surveillance of two suspects involved in two separate crimes at an apartment com-plex in Sardis. The first is of a woman who is suspected of break and enter and theft.

The picture doesn’t show the woman’s face, however provides a clear description of clothing worn by the woman. She is suspect-ed of forcing her way into the apartment com-plex at 45389 Chehalis Dr. in Garrison, and then breaking into multiple storage lock-ers and vehicles. The incident took place on Jan. 3 at midnight, and Crimestoppers and the RCMP are hoping someone recognize

Two days later, a man broke into the same building and stole mail from the community mailboxes. The image

of the man does show his face, and a vehicle the police say is “associ-ated to him.”

Anyone who recog-nizes these suspects can contact Cst. Tateyama at 604-792-4611.

If you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Suspects sought following break-ins

One of two suspects caught on video tape at a Garrison apartment building.

Time for actionOn Jan. 4, Roxanne Louie went missing after leaving her mother-in-

laws home in Penticton. While we hoped she would soon return to her family and three-year-old son safe and sound, it was not to be.

Her alleged murder brings intensity and poignancy to the release of a report from the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights call-ing for a national inquiry after it spent two years of studying the issue of missing and murdered indigenous women in B.C.

According to the commission’s report, “disappearances and mur-ders of indigenous women in Canada are part of a broader pattern of violence and discrimination against indigenous women in Canada.”

Along with calling for a national inquiry the report calls for the government to address the underlying factors that exacerbate the violence against indigenous women.

We needed two years of study to determine this? Year after year of women going missing in Vancouver before Willy Picton was caught or years of women disappearing or murdered along the Highway of Tears wasn’t enough to get the message across that there is a prob-lem?

Aboriginal women are seven times more likely to be murdered than non-aboriginal women. That’s not acceptable, nor are ongoing delays in addressing it.

The federal government and the B.C. government have both spent long enough dodging taking steps to deal with the issue of murdered and missing aboriginal women. A national inquiry isn’t going to solve anything though, it is part of a process that should include positive and immediate changes to our police, social and justice systems.

Solutions need to be found to this problem now, not five years from now after another inquiry reports back and governments slowly implement the recommendations. It’s time now to apply some com-mon sense to this systemic crisis and not watch more aboriginal women fall victim while committees create more reports.

RAESIDE

VICTORIA – My Christmas reading included a fascinating new book called Kennewick Man, a study of skeletal remains dis-covered in 1996 on the bank of the Columbia River in eastern Washington.

He was an ancient hunter bur-ied just south of B.C. almost 9,000 years ago, in the Early Holocene period following the last Ice Age. Among the oldest humans found along the West Coast of North America, he sparked an unprece-dented battle by the Smithsonian Institution to examine the skel-eton and publish the book late last year.

The most controversial evi-dence came from the skull. It doesn’t match the classic Mongoloid profile of modern aboriginal people, key to the theory that the earliest humans reached North America by land bridge from Siberia to Alaska as glaciers receded.

Smithsonian scientists con-firmed initial reports that Kennewick Man is a closer match with early Polynesians, and the

Ainu people who remain in Japan today. He lived until about age 40, surviving for years with a stone spear point stuck in his hip.

The authors conclude from chemical analysis that “Kennewick Man could not

have been a long-time resident of the area where he was found, but instead lived most of his adult life somewhere along the Northwest and North Pacific coast where marine mammals were readily available.”

This suggests migration by sea, perhaps from a great distance.

The U.S. Army seized the

skeleton. The scientists sued and eventually won the right to a brief examination. The court case exposed brutal and illegal actions of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and federal depart-ments to destroy the site and intimidate the scientists.

U.S. law demanded all remains from before European settlement be repatriated for burial by local tribes, without examination.

Umatilla tribe spokesman Armand Minthorn wrote in 1996: “We view this practice as desecra-tion of the body and a violation of our most deeply-held religious beliefs.

“From our oral histories, we know that our people have been part of this land since the begin-ning of time. We do not believe that our people migrated here from another continent, as the scientists do.”

The head of the Society for American Archaeology tried to

get the researchers to drop their lawsuit, fearing it would interfere with fragile relationships with area tribes.

The U.S. Justice Department warned the Smithsonian that lead scientist Douglas Owsley and oth-ers might be in criminal conflict of interest as federal employees suing the government. Even the White House weighed in against them.

Meanwhile the skeleton was mishandled and later stored in substandard conditions at a Seattle museum, where it remains today. Parts of both femurs were lost, and scientists were falsely accused of taking them. They had been removed by tribal represen-tatives and secretly buried.

Kennewick Man was found as the army was in tense negotia-tions with tribes on salmon fish-ing rights on the Columbia, their demand for removal of dams, and the $100 billion cleanup of the

Hanford nuclear site.The scientists finally won their

case in 2004, with a ruling that the skeleton is so old there isn’t enough evidence to show it is related to the current tribes. The judge found the army repeatedly misled the court, and assessed the government $2.4 million in costs.

The U.S. Army still controls the skeleton and denies requests for further study. The spear point, for example, could show the location where he was injured.

One final irony. Analysis shows Kennewick Man ate mostly salm-on in his later years, around 6300 BCE. These are the salmon runs wiped out by dams built by U.S. Army engineers before the sign-ing of the Columbia River Treaty with B.C.

Open letter to Chilliwack-Hope MP Mark Strahl:

I am returning your propaganda calendar because it would make me too angry to see it every day.

My anger is already over-aroused by what your government has done to the CBC, espe-cially radio. I am soul-

sick of the increasing government interfer-ence in “arm’s-length” federal agencies which belong to the Canadian people, not to the gov-ernment or PMO.

The same can be said of the government’s attitude toward scien-tists and environmen-talists. It is incredible that a government of

Canada should sacrifice our life-giving boreal forest, the wildlife and health of our coastal waters and the whole arctic – all for the greed of oil companies and the government’s own crazy promises of “fis-cal responsibility” (i.e. tax breaks for the rich). How can we Canadians allow our own govern-

ment to destroy what’s left of our greatest resource – our natural environment and dedi-cated brains which can protect it?

Shame on all Conservative MPs! You should resign instead of going into another elec-tion of attack ads and dirty tricks.

Dorothy Randell

In response to the January 7th article, “Grad rates on the rise in Chilliwack.”

Graduation rates in Chilliwack and throughout B.C. may be on the rise, but one has to wonder if this isn’t, in part, due to the bar being lowered. One just has to look to our neighbouring provinc-es to see the difference in gradu-ation requirements. In Alberta, a high school student must take an average of 30 courses from grades 10 through 12 in order to earn enough credits to graduate. In Saskatchewan, a student must take 24 courses. In B.C., only 19 courses must be taken in those three years. That’s less than seven courses per year, meaning a student never has to have a full schedule. Of those courses, 16 in Alberta are required (core) courses, 15 in Saskatchewan are

required (core) courses, and in B.C. only 12 are required (core) courses. Unlike Alberta and Saskatchewan, B.C. students are not required to have a Grade 12 social studies course. They can also choose between a fine arts course and a tech ed course, whereas in the other two prov-inces, you are required to have both. With so few required courses, B.C. students will find themselves grossly unprepared to reach the increasingly height-ened bar for university entrance, and many will have to upgrade. As of this year, high school courses for those who need to upgrade will no longer be offered for free.

School board chair Silvia Dyck was quoted as saying the improvements are in part due to “the programs we’re provid-

ing to our students.”. This is laughable if you consider that since the 2001/2002 school year, there are 31 per cent fewer teacher/librarians employed in B.C. schools, 20 per cent fewer special ed teachers, 19 per cent fewer English language teach-ers, and 13 per cent fewer coun-sellors. The resources available in Alberta and Saskatchewan for special needs students, whether they are gifted or learning dis-abled, are in abundance com-pared to B.C. This is likely due to the fact that each student in BC is funded $1,000 less per year, than every other student in the country! How can the needs of B.C. students possibly be met at that staggering rate of under-funding? Perhaps by lowering the bar.

Justine HodgeChilliwack

Higher grades, or lowered bar?

Government destroying our greatest resource

TWU decision called hypocrisyNow that the BC govern-

ment has revoked its approval of Trinity Western’s proposed law school, it is timely to reflect on some key realities.

First, there are now many hundreds of lawyers in Canada who hold to the same ethical standards described in TWU’s controversial Community Covenant. I am not aware of a single complaint against any of these Christian lawyers because of their Christian beliefs.

Second, some Christian law schools in the United States hold to the same behavioural values as does TWU. Here,

also, I am not aware of any com-plaint against Christian attor-neys because of their Christian values.

Third, some opposing BC lawyers argue that TWU’s law graduates would be poor attorneys because they might not be willing to defend homo-sexual individuals or persons in a same-sex marriage. Is it a requirement that attorneys must be willing to defend either side in every case? No.

And here’s the main ques-tion. Would the opposing attor-neys be willing to defend TWU at the Supreme Court, argu-

ing that TWU has the right to require its students, while stu-dents, to hold to the traditional practice of marriage? Probably not one of those critical lawyers would be willing to do that! If my assessment is correct, then those same lawyers should not be critical of TWU-trained law-yers who might also be hesi-tant to defend every cause and action in society.

Are we dealing with hypoc-risy! TWU-trained lawyers should have right to do what every other lawyer has the right to do!

Four vehicles were destroyed by fire Saturday and another two damaged in a blaze in a fenced com-pound on Progress Way.

Chilliwack firefighters

from halls 1 and 4 were called out at around 8:45 p.m. to the industrial dis-trict in west Chilliwack. When they arrived they found three recreational

vehicles and a pickup truck ablaze.

The fire was quickly brought under control as firefighters fought to keep the fire from spreading.

Heat from the fire was so intense two other RVs were damaged, as well as a num-ber of large plastic storage bins on the next property.

There were no civilian or

firefighter injuries.This fire is still under

investigation by the Chilliwack Fire Dept. and Chilliwack RCMP.

Fire destroys three RVs, and one truck Paul Redekopp announces his candidacy for the Massion-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon riding

Cree artist Jerry Whitehead is known for creating vibrant and colourful works of art.

Chilliwack Community Arts Council has partnered with School District 33 Aboriginal Education Department to pres-ent a new art exhibit, Inspirations, by Whitehead with a reception set for Jan. 23.

All of Chilliwack is invited to come out that night, meet the artist, enjoy refresh-ments, and some live music.

Many of his pieces feature powerful images from traditional powwows and powwow dancers.

“Powwow dancers have been an ongo-ing theme in my work since I began paint-ing,” he said.

“Seeing the dancers as a child left a last-ing impression.

“The subject matter has been ideal for expressing a part of my culture as well as accommodating changes in my work.”

Whitehead is a Vancouver based artist who was born in Saskatchewan.

His passion for art runs in the family. Whitehead’s grandmother worked with animal hides and his mother was known for her beadwork and braided rugs.

He credits their love and encourage-ment for helping him to develop his art.

Family is important and Whitehead often incorporates family themes into his work.

He took some technical training to com-

plement his natural talent. He obtained a Bachelor of Arts in Indian Art from the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax.

His work can be found across west-ern Canada. See more at www.jerrywhite-head.com

Artist’s reception for Inspirations is Friday, Jan. 23 from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Art Room: #20 – 5725 Vedder Rd., with refreshments and a no-host bar. Art Room gallery hours: Monday to Friday 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; Saturdays 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. For more details or to RSVP call 604-769-2787. Show runs Jan. 15 to Feb. 24.

The paint will be flying in Chilliwack on Friday night.

Local painters signed up for Art Battle #208 will be making live works of art at the Hampton Inn starting at 7 p.m.

Organizer Zoe Howarth of Moda Events said she could not be more excited about bring-ing Art Battle to Chilliwack.

“It gives art-ists from a small-er community like Chilliwack a chance to get the same exposure as someone who may be compet-ing in Toronto or Vancouver, while at the same time bringing a national event to art lovers and people who want a fun night out that might be a little different from what Chilliwack typi-cally has to offer,” she said.

They get 20 minutes on the timer. As the art-ists furiously splash paint about, people get to watch and later vote on their favourites as the creative process unfolds live before their eyes. Winners go on to compete in the finals.

The Art Battle phenomena has spread all across Canada, from Vancouver to Halifax.

“Recently smaller communities have been participating as well and the support has been overwhelming,” Howarth noted.

Art Battle was started by two guys from Markham, Ont. in 2009, Simon Plashkes and Chris Pemberton. Pemberton, who is a painter himself, said they created the phenomenon because “we were just really bad at watching TV” wanted to make their own culture.

Inspirations show by Jerry Whitehead opens Jan. 23

Waiting for spring to sell your home?Conventional knowledge is that Spring is the best time

to sell a home. However, the market is actually brisk now, following a very active December which posted the most sales in seven years.

There are other factors which are important when determining if it is a good time to put your home on the market.

Some of these factors are supply and demand, interest rates, the overall economic condition, and whether or not your home is ready to show.

A stable economy creates a more expansive atmosphere in which people are more likely to invest their money in real estate, however, the single biggest factor that has influenced the buying and selling of real estate has been the low interest rates. The low interest rates have created more opportunity for sellers and buyers. Housing payments are more affordable and allow more first-time buyers to get into the housing market. Also, trade up buyers have been able to move on to larger homes, freeing up more starter homes.

Currently, listings are relatively low and the market is fast paced. If you are thinking of selling, your timing could not be better.

Sellers usually enjoy a shorter period of time between listing their home and receiving offers to purchase when there is not a lot of competition from other listings.

When there is less to choose from, buyers often have to compromise somewhat. Buyers can tend to be pickier when there are many homes to choose from, but keep in mind, that competition is not a bad thing. This allows buyers to compare one home against another that is similarly priced. If there is not the opportunity to make a comparison, it can be difficult for buyers to make a decision.

Chilliwack is already seeing increased sales in all types of residential properties, from apartments and townhomes to single family homes and houses with acreage. Also in response to market demand, new home construction is ramping up - a key indicator of a nenewed economy.

So if you are contemplating to sell, but are waiting for the “traditional” spring market – it’s already here!

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 also been a President’s Club Award recipient since 2009.

On behalf of the Mt. Cheam Lions Club, welcome to 2015 and apparently winter. This is the time of the year that everyone historically looks at the past as well as the future. Our Lions past has some rather interesting highlights. Most people have heard of Helen Keller, did you know that 90 years ago she spoke at our International Convention where she challenged Lions Clubs International to be Knights of the Blind? Harry Newman from Toronto was the International President that year. An interesting past but potentially a more exciting future is ahead of us.

The Chilliwack Lions Club has hosted their Music and Dance Festival since 1947, their 68th annual Festival is coming up very soon at a variety of locations here in Chilliwack. Our Mt Cheam Lions Club, one of the largest in our Lions District, has a weekly event for Seniors in our hall each Tuesday and Thursday, both events include lunch. For more information please call 604-792-3810.

We are holding our monthly Spaghetti Dinner in our hall on January 30th. Adults are $8 Seniors & Children are $6, funds raised go towards scholarships we award at our three local high schools. We will have a number of out of town Lions attending including Past International Director Dr. Patti Hill from Edmonton who has been endorsed by her District to be a Candidate for International President, drop by if you would like to meet Patti.

As Lions prepare to celebrate our Centennial in 2017 we have a variety of community service goals that focus on the theme, “Where there is a need there is a Lion”. Sometimes we have assistance in ful lling some of the needs we address. We have a group of Lions and Volunteers who knit mittens and scarves for school children. We are running very low on wool for the knitters, if you can help out please give me a call. We do help change lives, if being a part of what we do interests you, give me a call. I’m Allan Hunt a proud member of the Mt Cheam Lions Club, 604-792-3810.

This will be the 208th edition of Art Battle.

The organizer has a deep fondness for her city of Chilliwack and wanted to sup-port its artists.

“I felt it was important to help promote the talent we have here,” she said.

The medium is acrylic paint. The tools they’re allowed to use include brushes, palette knives or anything non-mechanical.

Easels will be grouped in the centre of the room. A timer is started, and away they go,

painting, and splattering can-vases while the crowd takes it all in.

At the end of each round, the audience votes for their favou-rite work, and they can bid in a silent auction later to take the work home.

The 12 Chilliwack artists who signed up include: Stephen Wimbush; Shannon Theisen; David Vegt;

Zwany Van Geest Mauritz; Robyn Marshall; Rodney Victor; Esther Hoogendoorn; Connie Robberstad; Josie Bleuer; Marcela; and Raisa Stone.

The format of Art Battle is a

highly competitive event that pits artist against artist in a friendly competition. There are three rounds with six artists in the first two rounds, and the top two artists from each round compete in the final.

Howarth has some advice for Chilliwack: put down that remote.

“You should always step out-side the box and out of that comfort zone, which is exactly what these artists are doing for you on January 16!”

Tickets are at http://artbat-tle.ca/208-chilliwack/

The Chilliwack Chiefs made one major deal at the BCHL trade deadline.

Jason Tatarnic sent defence-man Evan McEachern and future considerations to the Trail Smoke Eaters, landing 19 year old forward Scott Davidson in return.

Davidson won’t be long for the Chiefs.

The Trail native has commit-ted to Quinnipiac University and will join the Bobcats next season.

In the meantime, his offence will be a welcome addition for Chilliwack.

In 37 games this year, the

six-foot-one and 200 pounder has 11 goals and 29 points.

In 148 career reg-ular season BCHL games (146 with Trail, two with Chilliwack), Davidson’s collected 38 goals and 98 points.

The player he was dealt for, Evan McEachern, looked like he might be the odd man out on a healthy Chiefs blue-line.

With midseason acquisition Bennett Morrison fitting in fine and Mark Esposito/Olivier Arseneau

finally back from injury, Tatarnic has six he can com-

fortably roll with.McEachern, a 20

year old Nova Scotia native, brought offence from the blue-line, with three goals and 19 points in 34 games.

But the small-framed defender (five-foot-10, 170 pounds) had some struggles in his own end.

● The carousel at the backup goaltender position continued with the trade of David Poirier

to the Maritime Hockey League’s Dieppe Commandos.

Poirier joined the Chiefs Nov. 19, replacing previous backup Mitchell Datz.

The Quebec native went 5-1 in six appearances with a 2.68 goals-against average and .897 save percentage.

The new backup goalie is 20 year old California import David Jacobson.

He got his first Chiefs start Saturday night, yielding three goals in a 4-1 loss.

See Friday’s Progress for more analysis of the Chiefs deadline day and deals around the league.

For the first time in a long time the Chilliwack Chiefs find themselves looking up at someone in the Mainland division standings.

The Langley Rivermen (22-15-1-4) took two of three in a weekend series, leap-frogging the Chiefs (23-14-1-1) for first place. Chilliwack still has three games in hand, but the team hasn’t looked overly sharp dropping five of six since the Christmas break.

“We had a long break and we knew we’d have some problems, but I thought we played real-ly well against Nanaimo (2-1 loss) and in the Friday game against Langley,” Tatarnic said. “If the things that are going wrong weren’t

fixable, maybe there’d be panic. But they are fixable and we just have to fix them.”

The weekend started off well enough, with Friday night’s 3-2 win in Langley. The Chiefs got a power play goal from Brandon Tkachuk and even-strength tallies from Tipper Higgins and Jake Larson. Aidan Pelino stopped 27 of 29 shots for the win.

But things fell apart over the next two nights.

Back home Saturday, the Chiefs fell 4-1 at Prospera Centre. Chilliwack out-shot Langley 37-33, but Tkachuk was the lone local putting a puck behind Langley stop-per Darren Martin. Marcus Vela, Kevan Kilistoff, Zac Masson and Matthew Graham (empty net) scored for the Rivermen.

Back in Langley Sunday night, the Rivermen ran the Chiefs out of the build-ing with a 5-1 win. Shots were dead even at 29 apiece, but Bo Didur was outstanding in the Langley net.

Jordan Kawaguchi

scored the only Chilliwack goal.

Graham and Masson had two apiece for the Rivermen with Vela also scoring.

“If you look at the last two games, the goals Langley scored were back door plays, empty nets and guys left all alone in front of our net. And Langley just worked harder than we did,” Tatarnic said. “You can’t fault our goalies at all. As a coaching staff, it’s our job to get those things corrected.”

The Chiefs are home for two this weekend.

The Victoria Grizzlies (18-13-1-8) are in town Friday.

The Surrey Eagles are here Saturday, thinking they have Chilliwack’s number.

In back to back games coming out of the Christmas break, the lowly Eagles (7-31-0-3) dealt the Chiefs 3-2 and 3-0 losses. Bad as they are, Surrey has given Chilliwack a game each time they’ve played.

Game times for both weekend matches is 7 p.m.

Chilliwack’s Sarah Wierks has been named a Canada West ‘First Star of the Week’ after leading her University of the Fraser Valley womens’ basketball squad to an undefeated weekend.

Wierks was a force of nature in leading the Cascades to a pair of crucial victories over the Mount Royal

Cougars. The six-foot-one cen-

tre racked up 21 points, 17 rebounds and four blocks in Friday’s 85-58 triumph, and notched another huge double-double the next night with 23 points and 15 boards in UFV’s 81-67 win.

The results enabled the Cascades (6-4) to tighten their grip on third place in the Explorers Division.

It is the second time this season that Wierks has posted 20-plus points and 15-plus rebounds in consecu-tive games.

She also accom-plished the feat on Nov. 21-22 versus the Thompson Rivers WolfPack.

Wierks currently leads Canada West in rebounding at 13.9 per game, and sits second in scoring with 18.4 points per game.

Wierks also made a major leap up the Canada West all-time rebounding list.

She is currently in third place with 881 boards, having recently passed Leighann Doan (Calgary Dinos, 1996-01, 874 rebounds), Trix Kannekens (Baker) (Alberta Pandas, 1976-81, 871 rebounds) and Kelsey Blair (UBC Thunderbirds, 2002-07, 852 rebounds).
