IHIT still looking for tips in death

The Integrated Homicide unit says they are still investigating the death of a Chilliwack man.

Stuart David Ellis, 39, was killed late at night on Jan. 12.

Witnesses have said they heard gun shots, followed by a vehicle crashing into a driveway on Hazel St., near First Ave. Ellis was found dead in his vehicle, police said, with injuries inconsistent with the crash.

Ellis, who was known to police, was in possession of a firearm at the time of his death.

IHIT’s media relations office, Sgt. Stephanie Ashton, said there is no new information to release yet.

“At this point we have no further information,” she said on Tuesday.

IHIT continues to work in part-nership with Chilliwack RCMP, the Forensic Identification Section and ICARS to determine what occurred, she said.

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

The debate over gravel mining in the Fraser River is rearing its head.

An application under review by DFO to remove gravel by Seabird Island Band should be rejected to protect prime rearing and spawn-ing habitat, says a biologist with the Fraser River Gravel Stewardship Committee.

A long-term management plan for the Gravel Reach — a sensitive

stretch of the river from Mission to Hope — is something long over-due, said Otto Langer, fisheries biologist and aquatic ecologist with FRGSC.

“It was hoped that this recent lull in such in-river mining would serve as a starting point to develop a long-term cooperative manage-ment plan for this section of the river where flood risk reduction needs could be imbedded into an overall environmental manage-ment plan,” wrote Langer in a letter to federal and provincial ministers.

The ideal management plan would include elements of shore-line protection, flood control and gravel and habitat conservation.

The four-year lull in gravel min-ing was a promising step forward, Langer wrote.

Now he says they’re “taking a step backwards” and setting “a terrible precedent” for B.C. and Canadian rivers, since repeat min-ing could lead to permanent fish stock and habitat destruction.

Langer said “extensive damage” to juvenile Chinook rearing habitat

from the proposed gravel removal is certain, “particularly on the main stem face of the bar.”

Seabird Island Chief Clem Seymour took issue with the sug-gestion.

“This application is going through the process. We’ve been jumping through all the hoops,” he said. “We’ve done all our due dili-gence and I think most of the envi-ronmental concerns were taken care of already.”

Two companies were hired by Seabird Island Band to conduct

environmental reviews, he coun-tered.

“I’ve asked these environmental-ists to come walk with me on the river, but they won’t come,” Chief Seymour said.

“This is the main channel of the river, but spawning and rearing channels are more in the estuary.”

According to Langer’s letter:“The proposed mining site is

NewsKinder Morgan won’t disclose pipeline emergency planJeff NagelBlack Press

The B.C. government remains stymied in its efforts to force Kinder Morgan to reveal what the province believes are crucial details of oil spill and emergency response plans for the firm’s Trans Mountain pipeline project.

And as the National Energy Board review of the proposed sec-ond oil pipeline enters a new phase there are growing calls for the province to withdraw from the pro-cess.

Lawyers for the province have

for several months demanded the release of detailed emergency plans for spills on either land or at sea.

Trans Mountain officials last October released a heavily redact-ed version of the plan, citing vari-ous reasons for denying informa-tion, including “security” to protect its facilities from “targeted vandal-ism” during an emergency.

“History has shown that the pos-sibility of a spill originating from Trans Mountain’s facilities is very real,” the province stated in a Dec. 5 motion that demanded more dis-closure.

“The potential for devastating effects on the environment, human health and local economies is irre-futable. There is significant reason to query Trans Mountain’s ability to respond to a spill effectively.”

One of the plan elements with-held by Trans Mountain for secu-rity reasons is a map of public evacuation zones should a rupture or other emergency occur.

While the company argued pub-lic disclosure of the map could interfere with its response, the province said making the informa-tion publicly available would aid safe and orderly evacuations.

Kinder Morgan took the same position on disclosure of other manuals and fire safety plans.

“We are extremely concerned that the very detailed response information provided in these doc-uments could be used by anyone seeking to maximize environmen-tal damage or cause harm to the public by intervening prior to or during a response,” the company said.

The province’s December motion argued release is “imperative” for all intervenors to meaningfully par-ticipate in the review because the NEB process is “the only forum in

which Trans Mountain’s ability to effectively respond to a spill can be probed and tested.”

It said the company’s “vague and perfunctory justifications” for with-holding details are based on unveri-fied assumptions and are “utterly unpersuasive.”

Various intervenors, including the province, were expected to file further information requests to the NEB by a Friday deadline in a second and final round of written questions and answers.

B.C. Green Party deputy leader and MLA Andrew Weaver said the

Boaz JosephBlack Press

Lew Cocker never drank alcohol before he went overseas.

When he returned home from Bosnia in 1995 after a second post-ing with the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, “I knew I wasn’t the same,” the veteran told an audience at a forum on Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Saturday in Cloverdale.

He had witnessed first-hand atroc-ities that gave him such nightmares that he couldn’t – and still can’t – get more than two or three hours of sleep each night.

The dreams are usually the same: he’s being chased in an environment of rubble.

Jolted wide awake, he rarely goes back to sleep.

More than a decade since his wife left him, Cocker, 52, who lives in alone in Roberts Creek on the Sunshine Coast, said that even though he has stopped drinking, he’ll never be normal.

“Normal would be going to sleep for eight hours.”

He had contemplated suicide, too, before he got help starting in 2010.

That’s not uncommon, said Dr. Greg Passey, a psychologist who works with PTSD patients in private practice and at the BC Operational Stress Injury Clinic in Vancouver.

Speaking at the Surrey forum – hosted by the White Rock-based Equitas Society, formed in 2011 to help disabled soldiers – Passey said in his studies going back to the early 1990s, he has found that 46 per cent of those with PTSD will consider suicide, and 19 per cent will make the attempt.

More Canadian veterans have

died from suicide than as battle casualties in Afghanistan, and pos-sibly the Korean War, Passey said.

Passey served with the CF for 22 years and was released on medical grounds (including PTSD) in 2000.

He described himself as “a psy-chiatrist and a veteran – what a combination.”

PTSD, he explained, is not a visi-ble injury, but is still a serious, some-times fatal condition that affects about 15 per cent of those deployed on military missions (and is also linked to physical injuries, some of which take place in training.)

Passey said the 12-year Afghanistan mission produced 300-350 victims of PTSD each year.

Exposure to shocking or chronic events can trigger flashbacks or irra-tional fears when solders go back home.

Passey said he has encountered veterans at home in full-panic mode at the thought of something as seemingly mundane as grass, or oth-ers traumatized by certain sounds, colours, even the sight of children.

Many who witnessed events dur-ing peacekeeping missions in the former Yugoslavia or Rwanda were particularly hard-hit, as many of those events involved civilians.

There are other costs to all this, Passey said, involving broken fami-lies, depression, drug and alcohol addiction, and greatly increased uti-lization of health services for stress-related health issues, including dou-bling the rate of heart disease.

A life with PTSD can be short-ened by 15 years.

Passey explained that the cur-rent view of PTSD by the Canadian Forces (CF) and Veterans Affairs (VA) are lamentable, as veterans are

See anything suspicious?Blood and deer hair were

left at the scene of the crime in Chilliwack.

Wildlife conservation reps are asking the public for any information they may have on the illegal killing of a deer on Old Orchard Road in Chilliwack around Jan. 8.

“Sometime in the early morning of Jan. 8 or late eve-ning of January 7, a deer was killed and taken away in a vehi-cle in the area of Old Orchard Road near Chilliwack,” said Conservation Officer Sgt. Steve Jacobi.

The animal was killed in a field next to Old Orchard Road near the Old Orchard road access to the Fraser River.

The BCWF provides cash rewards to anyone who pro-vides information leading to the conviction of a person for these crimes.

COS is also requesting the public’s assistance in solving the illegal killing of a bull elk, just off West Harrison Forest Service Road near Harrison Mills, B.C., sometime before December 1, 2014.

“There is no open season for elk in the area at any time of the year,” he said.

species whose population appears to be suffering con-siderable declines in juvenile recruitment. As you should be aware, the white sturgeon is a species at risk.

“Such areas of this sec-tion of the Fraser have been repeatedly mined and it is quiet certain that the repeat mining in these key and sen-sitive habitat areas has had a permanent impact on fish and fish habitat.

“We are not convinced that the agencies have the exper-tise and the resources and

maybe freedom to properly understand what has taken place on the river over the past 40 years and relate that to the long term sustainability of this natural gravel resource to maintain optimal spawning and rearing conditions for the many fish species that live in and depend upon this section of the river.”

The Seabird Island Chief had a different perspective.

It’s all a matter of “balance” and Sto:lo are, and have been part of the entire ecological system, the chief underlined. There’s a lot of local knowl-edge and band officials have

been working closely with different agencies, Seymour said.

“We’re part of the system. We’ve always been part of the system since time immemo-rial. We’re people of the river,” he said.

DFO confirmed the gravel removal application is cur-rently under review.

A decision on the Seabird application, seeking “authori-zation under Section 35 of the Fisheries Act” for the gravel removal, has not been made yet.

“Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) acknowledges

the fisheries values present in the gravel reach of the Fraser River and is mandated to conserve and protect the fisheries resource for the ben-efit of all Canadians,” wrote DFO spokesperson Carrie Mishima in an emailed state-ment.

Reviews are conducted by DFO “to ensure appropriate avoidance, mitigation and/or offsetting measures” for the sustainability and ongoing productivity of commercial, recreational and aboriginal fisheries, she added.

Seabird says gravel removal can be done safelyEveryone loves an archival parade photoJennifer FeinbergThe Progress

Heritage Chilliwack Society is planning to show-case downtown parades with a display of archival pho-tographs to celebrate BC Heritage Week, Feb. 16-22.

After 35 people showed up at their inaugural meet and greet at the Royal Hotel last week, they’re building on the momentum they have established, said Heritage Chilliwack Society spokesperson Laura Reid.

“Main Street: At the Heart of the Community” is the theme of 2015 Heritage Week activities from Heritage BC.

“We are working on a community project right now that centres around this theme,” she said.

The Downtown Chilliwack BIA has generously agreed to provide some window space from vacant storefronts to set up a photo display on Chilliwack parades through the years. They’ve partnered with the Chilliwack Museum and Archives to access archi-val parade images.

“Parades have been centrepieces in Chilliwack since the beginning and often attracted large crowds, like the Cherry Carnival,” Reid noted.

To help with the event, participants can join in by volunteering on the committee, and attending the next Heritage Society meeting on Jan. 29 at Decades, at 6:30 p.m.

Society members can learn more about Chilliwack’s history and heritage and meet other heritage enthu-siasts by getting involved with the volunteer-run organization, she added. Heritage Chilliwack is a not-for-profit initiative to engage, advocate, and promote Chilliwack’s heritage.

A role in trainingThe shooting of two Alberta

RCMP members on the week-end is another chilling example of the potential danger police face at every encounter.

The two men were following up a routine licence plate check at a St. Albert casino when a man, well known to police, opened fire.

Auxiliary Const. Derek Bond was hit in the arm and torso and has since been released from hos-pital.

Const. David Wynn was struck in the head and taken off life sup-port yesterday. He is not expected to survive.

The violence comes just days after the release of recommenda-tions following the killing of three Mounties in Moncton last June.

The 180-page report, released Friday, calls for improved firepow-er and better training. Among the 64 recommendations is that more RCMP members be issued car-bine rifles – a key recommenda-tion following the shooting deaths of four Mounties in Mayerthorpe, Alberta a decade ago.

Whether or not those recom-mendations would have played a factor in the St. Albert tragedy is unlikely; the two men were shot

before they could even draw their weapons.

But the shootings do underline the need for ongoing and unre-lenting training.

Chilliwack continues to play an important role in that education. At the Pacific Regional Training Centre, RCMP and other frontline officers receive regular firearms training.

But it’s not just about shooting straight. Members are taught how to anticipate a threat, how to react to it safely and appropriately, and how to protect themselves and the public during a violent encounter.

Training sessions are scenar-io-based, because even the most innocuous traffic stop can turn deadly in a heartbeat.

This year a new $19-million indoor firing range will add depth to the training RCMP members receive in Chilliwack. It won’t remove the threat; the issue is far too complex for that.

However, it will add another layer in ensuring police officers, who work to keep us safe every day, come home at the end of their shift.

RAESIDE

VICTORIA – Did you do a “cleanse” to start the year? A diet or supplements to, you know, “detox” your body?

Please, if you did, I don’t want the details. I’m here to discuss the underlying assumptions of this fad. TV presenter Dr. Oz is a promoter of various schemes, soup diets and the like, but there are many books and consumer products being flogged.

“Supplements, tea, homeopa-thy, coffee enemas, ear candles and foot baths promise you a detoxified body,” writes Ontario pharmacist Scott Gavura, who treats cancer patients with medi-cine’s most potent drugs.

Frustrated by the pharmacy industry’s willingness to cash in on fake cures for nonexistent conditions, Gavura began contrib-uting to ScienceBasedMedicine.org, where you can search “detox” find his takedown of this

notion.He traces the roots of puri-

fication rituals in religious and medical history, such as when

patients were bled with leeches.

Actual “detox” is administered in hospital for those with dangerous levels of drugs, alcohol or other poisons. Credible physicians aban-doned theories of “autointoxication” in the 19th cen-

tury.“Today’s version of autoin-

toxication argues that some combination of food additives, salt, meat, fluoride, prescription drugs, smog, vaccine ingredi-ents, GMOs and perhaps last night’s bottle of wine are causing a buildup of ‘toxins’ in the body,”

Gavura writes. “And don’t forget gluten. Gluten is the new evil and therefore, is now a toxin.”

Gluten-free products now occupy whole sections of grocery stores, not far from the pricey “organic” produce that may or may not be tested for synthetic pesticides.

Living in the Lower Mainland 20 years ago, I noticed people lugging big plastic jugs to the grocery store to fill with water. Metro Vancouver is a rainforest, with some of the best tap water in the world, so I wondered what they were trying to avoid.

Discreet inquiries yielded similar answers. Aside from the odd superstition about chlorine or fluoride, they had no idea at all. They didn’t know about the Coquitlam reservoir, or ozona-tion, or what they were buying, which was essentially municipal water run through a filter. They

had been convinced to pay $2 for water in plastic bottles, and this somehow led to the conclusion that their tap water is only fit for washing clothes and driveways.

Vaccinations? Don’t get me started. In the past year I have had an argument with a regis-tered nurse at a blood donor clinic, annoyed that the health ministry denied her imagined “right” to infect frail patients with influenza, and with a vet-eran politician who only recently overcame a vague taboo against putting vaccines in her body.

It’s no wonder people constant-ly fall for enviro-scares like toxins from the Alberta oil sands that are actually concentrated in cit-ies where all that fuel is burned, or the threat of genetically modi-fied canola oil, or smart meters. The media are frequently part of the problem, lacking scientific lit-eracy and preferring conflict over

common sense.Take Vancouver (please). The

mayor rose to fame with a com-pany that sold overpriced import-ed tropical fruit juice in single-serving plastic bottles. Calling it “Happy Planet” convinced a new generation of urban rubes that they’re doing something for the environment. Plus, there are “no chemicals” in it, to cite the cen-tral myth of hippy science.

At the risk of giving you too much information, I did a cleanse last year. It was for a screen-ing colonoscopy, one of many that have taxed the B.C. health care system since a new test was added to the standard medical checkup.

Try that one if you’re over 50.

I started working as a Starbucks barista at a licensed store inside of our Chilliwack Target a little under four months ago. Coming from a corporation that valued profit over every-thing else - customer service, staff needs, equipment quality, management abusing authority - Target was a paradise. You could say I’m known for having a way with words, but I struggle to properly express how much I loved it there.

The team members - not just the ones in my little Starbucks family - but all Target team mem-bers treated me with the upmost respect and dignity. You could walk into the break room at any time of day and no matter who was there - Flow Team, Cashiers, Back Room, Starbucks, HR, AP - you were welcomed with open

arms. We truly are a team, we cheer each other on, coach each other through. We bring fun and happiness back into the work-place and it shows! Being the top store in BC, seventh nation wide, that’s not nothing. That’s some-thing we should be immensely proud of. I know I am.

Our team leaders were sup-portive, not degrading in their leadership. They were approach-able and friendly, but knew exact-ly when to take charge. When they pulled you aside, they never yelled at you or threatened you, they offered a solution that ben-efited everyone or positive con-structive criticism. I never felt belittled in my tenure here and for that I am extremely grateful.

Lastly, our guests. It has been an absolute pleasure serving you, getting to know you, see-

ing the smile on your face when your regular order is ready and waiting for you. Thank you for letting me into your lives. For venting to me about your awful day (and vice versa when it was my day that was awful), for stick-ing up for me when you felt other guests were being unreasonable, for joking around and making me laugh when you could tell I needed it.

It saddens me to think that in a few weeks, my time with Target will be over, but in the end I am so glad I made the switch. I don’t regret it for a moment. This is how a job should feel, you should be happy about going into work! I just hope I can take this mental-ity to my next job - and every job after that.

It’s been an absolute pleasure, Target. Thank you.

Last week our water line broke. We called city public works and shortly a crew arrived to shut off the water and assess the problem. The prompt response and helpful advice was greatly appre-ciated.

On January 3rd, 2015 during a stay in Sardis with friends, I sud-denly became the recipient of the health care system I have worked in for over 30 years. There was a call put through to 911 which quickly and efficiently dispatched a very impressive and knowledge-able ambulance team.

My visit to the Chilliwack hos-pital was made especially pleasant

by the ambulance team periodi-cally checking in on me during the course of the day.

I would like to thank Dr. Paul Mallam, the compassionate Chilliwack hospital staff, and the ambulance team, for their exem-plary care.

One last toast to Target

These past weeks I’ve been one of the commis-sionaires doing secu-rity at the Abbotsford poultry farms hit with the avian influenza. As on-site security I had the opportunity to see our tax dollars at work and I was impressed with our Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Officers from all over the country

came here to contain the outbreak and to save our poultry indus-try. The CFIA not only knew what had to be done they went about getting it done, working long hours in difficult situations.

It was clear they had the confidence of the farmers, and knock on a wooden barn door, it would appear the out-

break has been con-tained.

I’d also like to acknowledge the work of the hazard team, Quantum. They shared the dedication of the CFIA in bringing the outbreak under control.

It may be in vogue to belittle government employees, but I know these dedicated men and women saved the

day. At a time when our National Juniors Hockey Team was win-ning glory I was aware of another national team that rocks.

And the next time I hear someone belit-tling our government workers I’ll reply with, “Let me tell you about a time...”

Applause for avian flu response

This week is Red Tape Awareness week in BC. Nothing stifles an economy more than government red tape. That’s why we should all be grateful that the federal and provincial gov-ernments finally ended the prac-

tice of duplicate environmental assessments just over two years ago.

Government duplication is the essence of waste. Having two pro-cesses where one process was all that was needed was a colos-

sally poor use of taxpayer dollars. Having one assessment process now saves money for govern-ments, taxpayers, and the indus-tries that are subject to reviews.

province must end the equivalency agreement that delegates its envi-ronmental assessment to the federal government

and instead conduct its own independent hearings.

“The province at this point has no choice but to pull out,” Weaver said. “It’s totally unaccept-able. If you’re not going to provide something as fundamental as an emer-gency response plan for the most critical aspect of your whole proposal then this is clearly not working in the interests of British Columbians.”

Weaver said it’s par-ticularly unreasonable that the emergency plan documents were not pro-vided in time for interve-

nors to pose questions by Friday’s deadline.

An environment min-istry spokesman would not say if the province is contemplating a pull out, adding B.C. continues to insist any heavy oil pipe-line meet its five condi-tions to proceed.

The NEB is expected to make a final recom-mendation on the appli-cation to twin the Trans Mountain pipeline by

Jan. 25, 2016. The fed-eral government would then have six months to approve or reject the project.

The proposed $5.4-bil-lion pipeline twinning would nearly triple Trans Mountain’s capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day and bring hundreds of additional oil tankers through Burrard Inlet each year.

treated with bias, stigma and discrimination.

Much of his anger is geared towards the 2006 New Veterans Charter.

Passey said in recent years, there has been a protracted clawback of services to veterans who suffer from PTSD.

Front-line clinics and VA offices have closed, and the system has become increasingly adversarial, with reduc-tions in long-term ben-efits for chronic physical and mental injuries.

Many veterans, he said, suffer the further indignity of rejection let-ters from the VA follow-ing claims and further appeals for aid.

A VA budget of $1.1 bil-lion was recently reduced to $200 million.

Among those fight-ing for more recognition for veterans with PTSD is Aaron Bedard, who served as a combat engi-neer with the Canadian Forces from 2002 to 2010.

In 2006, he was wounded in Afghanistan, and suffers from PTSD, he told forum attendees.

Released from service in 2010, and after see-ing the number of sui-cides among veterans, he became one of six plaintiffs in the Equitas case, a suit against the Canadian government before the BC Supreme Court to overturn the New Veterans Charter.

Bedard said few peo-ple are speaking about the subject, so “it keeps sliding back to me.”

Among Bedard’s efforts in recent years was helping to “destroy (the reputation of MP Julian) Fantino” (as Minister of Veterans Affairs), who was widely criticized by veterans for being insensitive to their needs.

On Jan. 5, Fantino was demoted to the position of Associate Defence Minister.

Bedard, who lives in Chilliwack with his wife Iva and son James, added that he and 2,000 others online are beginning to put pressure on Fantino’s replacement, MP Erin O’Toole.

Assisting veterans pro bono through his law firm Miller Thompson LLP, lawyer Donald Sochoran said “The government is like a three-year-old,” doing what it wants. But he added that Canada is a constitutional democracy and laws can be changed – including the New Veterans Charter.

Cocker, who is getting more involved in advo-cating for other veterans, admitted at the forum he was nervous bringing his story out into the open.

“I’m not looking for your sympathy,” he told the crowd of 45. “I’m looking for your help.”

Obesity, in today’s society is the number one enemy and becoming an epidemic globally, but especially in North America. According to the Centres for Disease Control (CDC), over one-third of adults are obese, and almost 20% of chil-dren are either obese or overweight.

Obese individuals have a higher risk of developing conditions such as, Cancer (Endometrial, breast and colon), Cor-onary Artery Disease, Dyslipedemia (elevated lipids and cholesterol levels), Hypertension, Type II Diabetes, Osteo-arthritis, menstrual problems and infer-tility, hormone imbalances, stress and a higher than normal rate of respiratory diseases.

According to most experts, many of these individuals are dealing with what is now called ”Metabolic Syndrome”, and most weight issues are due to “insulin dysfunc-tion”. Even carrying 10-15 lbs of excess body fat over a long period of time can increase ones risk of developing any of the above conditions and by reducing even 20-30 lbs of excess fat can improve health outcomes dramatically. Patients using multiple prescription medications will see a great benefi t, and many have seen a substantial reduction in the num-bers or the dosage of medications when they achieve Ideal Body Weight and Body Composition.

So how did we get here? Increased consumption of energy dense, nutrient poor foods with high levels of sugar and saturated fats, such as breads, cereals, muffi ns, cakes, pizzas, pastas and more,

which cause a spike in the insulin levels and increase fat storage.

The Ideal Protein Protocol, is a medi-cally supervised weight loss protocol that makes sense. It was developed in France over 25 years ago, by a Physician from Harvard School of Medicine.It is the program of choice prescribed by many Cardiologists. It causes rapid loss of fat, while sparing lean body mass, thereby changing body composition.

The protocol consists of consuming daily, a mix of Ideal Protein foods which have an adequate amount of protein (1/2 gm for every pound of lean body mass) along with 4 cups of vegetables, unlimit-ed salads, and 4-8 ounces of lean meats and plenty of water. Seasonings such as apple cider vinegar, fresh herbs, salt, pepper, spices, garlic, ginger, hot sauc-es, soy sauces and more can be used daily in the meal preparation. The pro-tocol includes medical screening and supervision, along with a weekly weigh in and body composition analysis, and includes one on one coaching through the three phase program - weight loss, transition, and lifetime wellness mainte-nance protocol.

Unlike other weight loss programs, pa-tients maintain body muscle mass, and collagen and therefore look young and radiant with marked improvement in in-fl ammation, skin and hair conditions, and less wrinkles and sagging of the skin.

Hair Studio with a HeartFahimeh’s Studio 103 opens doors for hairdressers new to Canada

Jessica PetersTHE PROGRESS

Finding the perfect hairdresser isn’t always easy.

So when Fahimeh Bayramabadi’s stylist of eight years announced he was leaving the country, she knew replacing him would be a challenge.

But instead of seeking out a new stylist, she chose to see it as a new opportunity.

“I decided to buy his business,” she says. While Bayramabadi had never owned a salon and isn’t a hairdresser, she does have the business experience, drive and a passion to make the salon a success.

Bayramabadi has Iranian heritage, and came to Canada 20 years ago. When she arrived, she didn’t speak English and worked as a housekeeper as she mastered the language. Eventually, she was able to get into sales which lead to opening her own appliance store in Vedder. While that store is now closed, she does still work in appliance sales at Future Shop, a job she loves.

She’s also enjoying her new business venture, Fahimeh’s Studio 103 Hair and Beauty. The salon opened on July 2, last year. It was a quick decision, she said,

and everything came together very quickly. She chose the first location she was shown, in the plaza at 45789 Spadina Ave., because “it was perfect.”

She searched for a stylist, and found Fariba Ghiasi, an Iranian woman who had just moved to Canada.

“When I hired her, she couldn’t speak English,” Bayramabadi said. But the two women could communicate, and Ghiasi is now able to work in her chosen field while learning to speak English fluently.

Bayramabadi’s sister, a trained hairdresser, is expected to arrive in Canada soon. She also doesn’t speak English, but will learn in the salon, the same way Ghiasi has.

Helping her sister was also one of the reasons Bayramabadi made the leap to buy the salon.

“I’m a big fan of helping new immigrants, as I know from my own past how hard it was,” she said. “This will be a good experience for others.”

In addition to offering hair cuts and styling for men and women, Bayramabadi has a private room for services like makeup application, threading and facials using La Biosthetique products.

The salon is often featuring different services at lower prices, such as haircuts for $12.

Everyone is welcome to stop

by and check out the salon, she adds, and all customers are offered a cup of Persian tea during their visit.

Find Fahimeh’s Studio 103 Hair & Beauty at 5-45789 Spadina Ave. Stop in or call 604-392-1030 for more information.

WINTER/SPRING SESSION: FEB. 1-JUNE 27

Lorene KeitchBlack Press

It’s time to clear out the closets and item-ize the attic. A team of students is looking for used goods for a good cause.

A group of 25 stu-

dents and chaperones are heading to Agua Prieta, Mexico this spring for a missions trip. To get there, they had to chip in their own plane ticket money. But now they’re collectively raising funds to pay for the building projects,

food donations and other charity endeavors they hope to undertake while there.

They are looking for everything from clothing to craft kits. The donations will all be weighed and the group will be paid for the amount of pounds of donations they bring in. Those donations will then be resold by the Salvation Army to help fund that organization’s programs. Every tacky knick knack, every mis-matched dish and every out-of-date shirt will be accepted.

The 17 grade 12 stu-dents from Timothy Christian School have already started gather-ing donations, including Agassiz local Amanda Herfst. Amongst her own family, friends and church, they have col-lected more than 30 gar-bage bags of donations so far. Add that to the bags piling up at other student’s houses and they are on their way to a good fundraiser.

Herfst is excited about the missions

trip. It will be her first foray into the develop-ing world. She says the more she has thought about going, the more she realizes what a life-changing experience this could be.

“Think of the impact we can have on their lives,” she ponders. “I’m looking forward to mak-ing an impact.”

She anticipates that the trip will help open her eyes to what she has here, even more than she is already aware of it.

“There’s a lot of need out there,” she says. “It will make us realize what we do have – fami-lies, our houses, every-thing – to see what God has blessed us with.”

Herfst had consid-ered going to an RCMP training camp over Spring Break but decid-ed in the end on the missions trip. It’s a deci-sion shared by most of the graduating class of Timothy Christian School. Teacher co-ordinator Jody Terpstra has been heading up the Mexico missions trip every year since it began in 1993. She says they used to open it up to grade 11 and 12 stu-dents but the demand is so great they’ve had to cap it to students from the graduating class. The size of the group has ranged from five (the first trip) to 31. This year’s 17 students are more than three quarters of the grade 12 population at the small Rosedale school.

Terpstra says this year’s team is “very enthusiastic.”

She loves leading the students each year into what, for most of them, is a new experience.

“It’s always a really big eye-opener, an appreciation for what we have here,” Terpstra says.

Donations can be dropped off at Timothy Christian School at 50420 Castleman Road during school hours, or at Allenby’s Farm Store in Agassiz during busi-ness hours. Terbara’s Hair Design at 45529 Watson Road will give you $5 towards a hair-cut if you bring in a gar-bage bag of donations to their business. For more information or to enquire about donation pick-ups, call 604-796-9494.

The students have also been doing bi-weekly bottle drives since the fall and will pick up your bottles or cans to go towards the trip. Text 604-819-5249 for bottle pick-ups.

Keep in mind at all times that it’s a satirical strip show.

The Comic Strippers are making a triumphant return to Chilliwack with a show that’s “bigger and better than ever!”

Some seriously funny fel-las are set to return to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre stage January 31, complete with bowties and stage alter egos!

That’s right: the ever-hilar-ious Comic Strippers, led by Vancouver-based comedian Roman Danylo, are back in town.

The show combines improv

theatre with some truly terrible dance moves and a bunch of shirtless guys – what’s not to love? And while audiences can rest assured that there will be no full nudity, they’ll find them-selves face to face with full hilar-ity instead.

“We still keep ourselves gig-gling – thank goodness!” Roman says. “I think when we stop gig-gling at the ridiculousness, we’ll have to stop. But so far it’s still in the realm of giggles.”

These gyrating gents per-formed in Chilliwack last January, and have been on the

road honing their craft ever since, selling out shows all across the country.

The result? A bigger, better, and funnier show than ever before.

“At first the idea of choreo-graphed movements made our brains explode,” Roman says. “We said, ‘Nah – that’s never going to happen.’ But we’re choreographing stuff as we go, almost by accident, because we’re doing it more frequent-ly. We have muscle memory. These moves are in my body, and they want out!”

The show follows the lives of fictitious male strippers – all named Chip – who attempt to gain respect by putting on an improv comedy show. With decades of comedy experience, matching bowties, and a healthy dose of shirtless dancing, the show is a hilarious concoction where saucy meets awkward!

And for the first time ever, the show introduces a brand-new twist with Chip Etté, the first-ever female member of the comic strippers.

Face to face with full on hilarity

Cheesecake in time for Valentine’s Day

They’ll bring a glorious blend of glam-our and glitter to the stage.

The Cheesecake Burlesque Revue is coming to the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Friday, February 13 featuring a viva-cious and rollicking cast performing a two-hour saucy cabaret extravaganza.

“It’s a lot of dancing, singing numbers, little three-minute plays – and so much more!” says Kitten Kaboodle, Cheesecake veteran. “There are a lot of people who come away from the show after their first time in the audience, and they’re surprised that it was so funny. But it’s hon-estly just a lot of fun!”

They ham it up with dance routines, comedic skits, audience participation, and maybe even a touch of ukulele. From nerdy to sensual, curvy to cute, elegant to rock ‘n’ roll, there’s a Cheesecake for everyone. And they all have one thing in common: together, they rock a spec-tacular stage show and leave the audience begging for more!

The Cheesecakes are ready to show off and celebrate Valentine’s Day weekend with a little spice, a lot of nice, and more than a little naughty – so buckle up for a host of song, dance, and comedy – and a dash of tasteful striptease!

The Comic Strippers are back in Chilliwack at the Cultural Centre January 31.

The Cheesecake Burlesque Revue will be in Chilliwack Feb. 13.

Community-based arts and cultural orga-nizations in British Columbia can apply

now for project assis-tance funding from the BC Arts Council to help produce local arts festivals.

Awards under this program are intended to assist with the fees paid to professional artists and technicians engaged for the event.

Eligible projects may include presenta-tion of original work, existing repertoire or exhibitions, or explora-tion of diverse forms. Festivals may feature a combination of local and touring artists. Awards will provide up to a maximum of $7,500. Priority will be given to festivals that engage B.C. and Canadian artists.

Application deadline is Jan. 30, 2015. For more information and eligibility criteria, visit: www.bcartscouncil.ca

“It’s a really tough thing to explain,” Roman says with a laugh. “Basically, Chip Etté is dressed like a man for the entire show, and the Chips don’t realize this Chip is any different. It’s clearly obvious to the audience, but we have no idea that she might not be like us. And there are all sorts of opportunity for hilarity there.”

With Denise Jones joining the Comic Strippers onstage as Chip Etté, all the pieces are in place for a truly hilarious evening. Dozens of shows across North America have set these comedians’ funny bones perfectly in tune – and the result is a riotous ride you won’t want to miss. It’s saucy, it’s sexy, it’s awkward, and it’s a truckload of good, clean, shirtless fun.

“It’s kind of a weird cross between Thunder From Down Under, Blue Man Group, and Whose Line Is It Anyway – we’re really just clowns,” Roman says. “And we learned pretty quickly that we can actually keep the show pretty clean for the most part. There’s almost no swearing, and com-pared to other comedy shows I’ve been a part of, this is one of the cleanest in terms of content.

“And it’s always good to remember that it’s definitely a parody of a male stripper show – a com-edy,” he adds with a grin. “No one’s going to see anything horrible and scarring.”

The Comic Strippers:Introducing Chip Etté take to the stage at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Saturday, January 31 at 7:30pm. Call the Centre Box Office at 604-391-SHOW(7469) or visit chilli-wackculturalcentre.ca to get your advance tickets for this gut-bustingly hilarious display of macho-ism, comedy, and awkwardness. Tickets are $32 for adults, $29 for seniors, and $27 for students. While there is no full nudity, audience members are advised that the show incorporates some adult themes and is 19+ only.

SceneCelebrate Valentine’s Day with the Cheesecake Burlesque Revue

And the Cheesecakes aren’t the only ones making noise – they love nothing more than a hoot and a holler from the crowd.

“We want the audience to be as interactive as possible,” Kitten says. “They can yell, they can whistle – we love a loud audi-ence. We’re looking for people out there to have fun, and it’s all about becoming part of the experience!”

A whole new themed line-up was dreamed up for the most roman-tic time of the year; think shiny hearts, crimson costumes, roman-tic lighting, flashy dance moves and a whole lot of love songs.

“Love is always a big part of the show, but romance will definitely be a theme of the day,” Kitten says with a wink. “We’ve been to Chilliwack before and we always have a great time, but this might just be our best show yet – and

we’re excited to show off!”And while the show is definitely

cheeky, sassy, and more than a little sensual, it’s about so much more than a sexy cabaret.

“It’s funny – we didn’t get into burlesque to make other people feel better about their bodies, but that’s certainly been one of the great by-products of the show,” Kitten says. “All of the cheese-cakes are 100% girl next door – the sort of women you’d see in the

grocery store. We get up there and shake what we have, and it’s neat that we inspire a lot of women to feel better about themselves. We try to show that everybody’s body is beautiful, and it’s lovely to have confidence in your own body and sexuality.”

“It’s a show you can take your Grandma to because it’s never raunchy or dirty, but it is sexy and funny,” Kitten concludes. “We’re looking for people out there to

have fun, and that’s the main part of our show. It’s all about having a good time!”

You can catch these stilettoed and hilarious girls at the HUB International Theatre on Friday, February 13 at 7:30 p.m. Call the Centre Box Office at 604-391-SHOW(7469) or visit chilliwack-culturalcentre.ca to reserve your seats. Tickets are $27 for students, $29 for seniors, and $32 for adults.

SceneTeacher wins local Art BattleVikki HopesBlack Press

An Abbotsford teach-er won an art contest in Chilliwack on Friday.

Shannon Thiesen, a Grade 5 visual arts teacher at Abbotsford School of the Integrated Arts’ North Poplar cam-pus, won the Art Battle 208 competition held at the Hampton Inn.

Twelve local artists went head-to-head for the chance to win a cash prize and a spot at the regional finals in Vancouver.

Competitors had 20 minutes to create a piece of art, with the public deciding the win-ner.

Artists used acrylic paint, and the tools used were brushes, pal-ette knives and other non-mechanical imple-

ments.Half the artists com-

peted in the first round, and the other half com-peted in the second round.

The top two from each segment then moved on to the final round.

The audience then bid in a silent auction to take the work home.

Thiesen said she decided to enter the contest as part of her New Year’s resolution to “loosen up as an art-ist” because much of her work is “tight, real-istic and detailed.”

She said she was also inspired by her students to show them that “cre-ativity takes courage.”

The first piece she produced at the Art Battle was a heron, which she chose ahead of time but had to paint from memory.

Thiesen said she was caught off-guard when she made it to the final round, and painted the face of a woman.

“(It was) com-pletely imaginary and

“Is it normal to experience urinary incontinence after childbirth or with aging?”

Many women believe that leaking is part of normal life and that wearing pads or having surgery are the only options. As an experienced pelvic floor physiotherapist I can assure you that it is not normal and that there is another answer. 80% of women who work with a qualified pelvic floor therapist experience improvement in their symptoms.

with

Lois LochheadPT, PhD(c)Registered Physiotherapist

What is Urinary Incontinence?

Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine and/or fecal matter. It is a common and distressing condition that adversely affects an individual’s quality of life. It is often associated with changes in the pelvic floor muscles and affects women more often than men. Some of the contributing factors in women are childbirth and menopause. Men can experience incontinence after prostate surgery or radiation. There is an increased risk of becoming incontinent with age but incontinence can affect individuals of all ages and it is not a normal nor acceptable part of aging.

What is the cause?

Urinary incontinence is not a disease but a symptom. It can be caused by everyday habits and life events. In most cases, incontinence results from weakened or ineffective pelvic floor muscles. These muscles weaken with pregnancy, childbirth, age, menopause and hysterectomy in women, enlarged prostate or prostate cancer along with age in men. Other risk factors include chronic constipation with straining, heavy repetitive work and aggressive fitness programs that include high impact and/or heavy weight lifting.

What are the symptoms?

There are 3 types of incontinence. Stress incontinence is involuntary loss of urine when you laugh, sneeze, run, change position or exert physical

effort. Many individuals report that it is late in their run when they experience stress incontinence. Urge incontinence results in difficulty getting to the bathroom in time and/or a feeling of having to get to the bathroom right away with little output once there or a frequent need to urinate. Mixed incontinence is a mixture of stress and urge incontinence.

What can be done?

Despite very effective advertising regarding “Light Bladder Leakage” or “LBL”, there are other solutions besides wearing a pad to absorb the leakage. Pelvic floor therapy can help 80% of individuals with incontinence. It consists of more than just standard Kegel exercises. Research has shown that 75% of individuals are doing their Kegel exercises incorrectly and other factors such as proper core stability in the abdominal muscles can impact the functioning of the pelvic floor. I use Real-Time Ultrasound Imaging (RTUS) to visualize the muscles of the abdomen and pelvis as they contract and help you maximize the function of both muscle groups. RTUS helps you see exactly what you are contracting so that you can improve your muscle function and control incontinence. Early treatment of incontinence can also help to prevent conditions such as pelvic organ prolapse where the bladder, uterus or rectum drops and may require surgery.

A Chilliwack Chiefs play-er is becoming a YouTube sensation after pulling off a highlight reel assist Saturday night.

During his team’s 4-2 win over the Surrey Eagles, Jordan Kawaguchi dipsy-doodled his way into inter-net immortality with a spina-rama followed by a between-the-legs pass to linemate Jake Hand.

The Abbotsford native’s play was posted on YouTube by the Chiefs and, as of Tuesday morn, had drawn 1,430 views.

It was also picked up by

Pavel Barber, whose ‘Barber Cuts’ channel highlights the most eye-popping dangles throughout the hockey world.

That video was up to 2,815 hits.

So, he’s no Grumpy Cat.But the internet lives for-

ever, and no matter what happens from here on out, the 17 year old will always have that video to look back on.

Your friendly neighbor-hood sports writer would try to explain the play, but words wouldn’t do it justice.

Search Jordan Kawaguchi

on YouTube to have a look.That play capped off a

solid weekend for Kawaguchi and the Chiefs, who righted the ship after a post-Christmas slide.

Coming into the weekend, the Chiefs had lost five of six since returning from the two week holiday break.

C h i l l i w a c k ’ s struggles contin-ued through the first 40 minutes against Victoria on Friday night. The Grizzlies led 1-0

after two periods on a Dane Gibson goal, out-shooting

the Chiefs 27-12 at Prospera Centre.

But the local lads flipped the switch in the final frame, storming back in dominant fashion. Kawaguchi tied the game 1-1 at 4:43 with an even-strength tally.

Rory Bell’s power play marker gave Chilliwack the lead at 14:09 and Jake

Larson added insurance at 16:12.

Victoria got one back at 18:21, but Jake Hand’s unas-sisted empty netter sealed the deal and gave his crew momentum heading into a Saturday showdown with the Eagles.

Bad as they’ve been, Surrey (7-33-0-3) has given Chilliwack trouble every time they’ve played. Once again, the Eagles fought tooth and nail, and the game was tied at 2-2 heading to the third period.

But Kawaguchi scored his 16th of the year on a power play at 4:10, then set up Hand with ‘The Play’ to

put the game away.The Chiefs come out of

the weekend 25-14-1-1, one point ahead of the Langley Rivermen atop the Mainland division.

Chilliwack has three games in hand and visits Langley tonight for a crucial clash.

The Chiefs host the Trail Smoke Eaters Friday night at Prospera Centre (7 p.m.) before hitting the road to face the Grizzlies Saturday and the Cowichan Valley Capitals Sunday.

Graduating GW Graham football star Treyvon Walsh will play for the University of Alberta Golden Bears next season.

Walsh signed his letter of intent Monday afternoon, ending a recruitment pro-cess that he described as ‘fun.’

“At the beginning I thought it was going to be SFU (Simon Fraser University) all the way, then UAB came in late and totally blew me away with their facilities and their offer,” Walsh said.

With family ties to SFU — both of his parents are alums — it seemed almost inevitable that the Grade 12 student would choose the Clansmen.

“It was a little tough, emo-tionally, to not go there, but UAB was just a better fit for me,” Walsh said. “They’re paying for everything except housing and my meal plan. They’re pretty much giving me $5,000 a year.”

The Golden Bears are led by former Canadian Football Leaguer Chris Morris, a three-time Grey Cup cham-pion with the Edmonton Eskimos.

“He’s a cool guy who

loves football and knows a lot about it from playing in the CFL,” Walsh said. “He also cares a lot about edu-cation. That’s their number one priority, and that’s good for me.”

The program Morris took over in late 2012 has a long and storied history that includes three national championships.

But UAB hasn’t even won a conference championship since 1981 and it’s been six years since the Golden Bears last finished with as many wins as losses (4-4 in 2009).

“They are rebuilding, but I went through build-ing a program here at GW Graham and I’m used to it,” Walsh noted. “I think it would be a cool experience to be involved in helping them win a national cham-pionship again. He (Morris) expects me to be a starter within two years.”

Walsh played both ways at GWG, shining at defen-sive back and wide receiver. The Golden Bears recruited him on the defensive side.

“I’m going to miss offence but I’ll be just fine,” Walsh chuckled.

The Chilliwack kid made one campus visit before committing, travelling to Edmonton on one of those

delightful -30 days.“Luckily my mother pre-

pared me, with two jackets on,” Walsh laughed. “When

I leave the dorms most days I’m going to need a t-shirt, sweater and probably a big winter jacket on.”

Walsh is the third GWG football grad to net a uni-versity scholarship, fol-lowing in the footsteps of

Jake Creasey (University of Manitoba Bisons) and Diego Pineda (University of Guelph Gryphons).

The Sardis second-ary school junior girls’ basketball team contin-ues to roll, going unde-feated in tournament play last weekend.

The Falcons trav-elled to Kamloops for the Sabre Saint Bronc Tournament, a round-robin setup that saw Sardis play three games.

Sardis beat Norkam

secondary 52-40 behind 18 points from Makena Lejeune.

The Falcons whal-loped Brock second-ary 47-21, with Hannah Tonsaker scoring seven off the bench.

The girls fin-ished with a 37-23 win over York House (Vancouver), a team ranked among the top-10 provincially.

Vanessa Forstbauer had 10 hard-earned points in the paint.

Sardis has three regular season games left, and plays in a GW Graham tournament this weekend.

Chilliwack’s Sarah Wierks and her University of the Fraser Valley women’s basketball team host the eighth annual CIS Shoot for the Cure fundraiser this week-

end, in support of the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.

The Shoot for the Cure campaign was launched in 2007 by the CIS Women’s Basketball Coaches Association and has proven an overwhelm-ing success, bringing in over $760,000 in dona-tions in its first seven years.

This season, for the fourth year in a row, all 47 CIS women’s basket-ball schools are set to participate.

The Cascades are partnering with the B.C./Yukon chapter of the CBCF for their fundraising initiatives, beginning tomorrow (Thursday) with a din-ner and silent auction at Finnegan’s Pub & Grill at 7 p.m.

Tickets are $20 each and include a burger, side dish and drink. Items to be auctioned off include gift cer-tificates and products donated by local busi-nesses.

Wierks and company host the UBC Okanagan Heat Friday night, with a 6 p.m. tip-off at Abbotsford’s Envision Athletic Centre.

They will be selling T-shirts and wristbands with the Shoot for the Cure logo, and will be soliciting direct dona-

tions from fans.Hailey Kendall, a

second-year Cascades guard who is coordinat-ing the Shoot for the Cure effort this year, said her team enjoys putting on the events in support of such a wor-thy cause.

“It’s something fun that we get to do together,” she said. “We like giving back to the community – they give so much to us. That’s something we strive for as a team.”

Over the last four years, the Cascades have raised more than $10,000 for the B.C./Yukon CBCF.

For tickets, or to donate an item to the silent auction, call Kendall at 778-551-0558 or email her at [email protected].

Korte, Mary Jane

Mary Jane Korte, born Janu-ary 28, 1945 passed away peacefully on January 14, 2015 in Chilliwack at the age of 69. Mary Jane was the eldest daughter of Adolf and Fern Bi-tinsky. She grew up in Middle Lake, Saskatchewan with a love of music. MJ loved to sing, played the accordion, or-gan and guitar.

Mary Jane is survived by her sons Donavan Rocher, Robert Rocher (Judy) and John Roch-er, by her grandchildren Samuel Rocher and Jesse Rocher, and by her siblings James Bitinsky and Laura Eckl.

Mitchell Roberta (Betty)

(nee Nairn) November 2nd, 1923 -

January 2nd, 2015

With a lump in my throat ….and appreciation for a life lived, we must announce the passing of an amazing Wife, Mother, Grandmother, Great Grandmother --- Roberta (Betty) Mitchell. Mum left us, very peacefully, on January 2nd, 2015 at 1600hrs, a world which now has a tremendous void where an amazing “life force” prevailed for so long…nine decades. This was a lady whose life for so many of us mirrored our memories of our lifetimes growing up in Chilliwack. And, it was an incredible life of what would be described as a “life lived”!Betty leaves behind her hus-band of 69 years, Gordon; daughters Jane (Dale) & Julie; Grandchildren Dana (Ryan) & Mitchell (Lindsay); Great Grandchildren Campbell & Warner; Nephews Bruce (Kel-ly, Taylor) & Douglas (Silvia, Lauren). She was prede-ceased by her Sister Jeane Forster & Brother Roger.Betty was born in Saskatche-wan, raised in B.C. and mak-ing Chilliwack her home for al-most 75 years. Mum did the usual ‘life lived’, starting as a waitress at the White Rooster restaurant at Orchard Park in the summer of 1940. This so-journ as a waitress was part of a very busy life that included being a member of the Chilli-wack High School Honour Roll Society, an Executive on the Student Council, gymnastics, basketball and badminton. On Sept 1st, 1945,Betty mar-ried Gordon. A brief time living at Cultus Lake; followed by a short time living in Chilliwack, while expanding the family to four, led to a permanent home on Strathcona Road in 1956.Many wonderful memories of a loving wife and Mother were created at that home, and the door was a door that was open to all in the neighbourhood.It means so much to us that friends from 75 years ago have memories of our Mother and that they are still able to share those memories. A pleasant recollection of events which are now, so long ago, by friends who were able to share those youthful happy times with our Mother ‘speak volumes’ about how much she meant to them, and how much they meant to her.A Celebration of Life will be held January 24th, 2:00pm at Henderson’s Funeral Home, 45901 Victoria Ave., Chilli-wack. In lieu of fl owers, dona-tions may be made to the Heart & Stroke Foundation.
