AFD: Fighting fires for 70 yearsGREG LAYCHAK/ OBSERVER

Alan Pryor has had many roles at the Agassiz Fire Department during his 45 years of service. The 61-year-old Agassiz native still fights fires and drives trucks for the crew.

Greg LaychakTHE OBSERVER

Fighting fi res has always been nasty business, but Fern and Earl Dyer remember a time when it was even more challenging.

Back in the fall of ‘45 when Fern was on his fi rst fi re, the water supply was pulled by a team of horses, there were no uniforms or head gear, and rescuers like himself would be tethered to a rope when they plunged into a blaze looking for missing residents.

Th e Agassiz fi re department had just been formed that year, and Fern was there from nearly the beginning.

When his brother Earl

was discharged from the military in Manitoba the next year he moved to join his family, and naturally fell in beside sibling Fern at the department.

“We were 16 and 22 and you went to help,” says Fern in his apartment across the hall from brother Earl’s. “It wasn't a matter of belonging

to the fi re department, you just went to help and you stayed with it, that's all.”

Th e two of them worked completely on a volunteer basis and “whatever salary there was, you took it at Christmas time and you could probably have bought a case of beer with it,” recalls Fern, while the two chuckle.

Equipment upgrades were slow coming in those days, and the Dyers brothers remember the “homemade” vehicles that couldn’t make it up the hill on the road to Harrison Mills until water was emptied from the tank.

And their methods refl ected the times, remembers 91-year-old

Earl.“We never really put a

fi re out, we just controlled,”he says. “You'd have to tear[the house] down anyhowso we used to let it burn tothe ground level and yourcleanup was nothing.”

Something that hasn’tchanged over the yearsaccording to Earl: tragedy.

Th e worst fi re he attendedwas at a meat freezer facilitywhere the owner's son diedaft er they couldn't fi nd himin the structure’s maze ofalleys.

“Th e old masks they hadin those days were as goodas hanging a handkerchiefin front of you,” Fern saysalso recalling that particular

“Over the past 25 years that I have been with the Agassiz Fire Department (AFD) we have seen many changes in the fi re service in British Columbia, including the

type of vehicles, equipment and changes to the training standard throughout British Columbia and Canada. With the AFD, training has always been our number one priority, because it will be training that will carry a fi refi ghter through all of the

situations that we respond to—to keep ourselves safe, rescue people when needed and to protect property. The most important part of our job is to have all of our emergency responders return safely back to their halls and to their families.”

- Wayne Dyer, Fire Chief

fi re. “[Former assistant chief] Keith Hardy and I spent two trips going back in to see if we could fi nd the young guy, we were both tethered to a line to the door, we were in there too long.”

Th e brothers go quiet for a moment before Fern launches back into stories about fi ghting chimney fi res from the rooft ops.

❖ ❖ ❖Th rough the 70 years of the

department’s existence there is as much heroism as misfortune. Countless lives have been saved and people helped over the decades.

Jennifer Hardy, the fi rst woman fi refi ghter (1975-81) on the team remembers the rewards of the job.

“I remember being in Seabird and having about 18 kittens in my hat because they kept wanting to run back to the fi re,” she says. “I got them all together and put them in my hat and carried them off .”

It was a smaller town then and with her father as assistant fi re chief the 16-year-old Jennifer was easily talked into the fi refi ghter role.

She’d always heard her father Keith talking about his adventures with the crew, and vicariously saw the excitement of helping others.

Now Jennifer looks through the lobby window outside her offi ce at Pioneer Motors and points to the municipal building that used to be the fi re station.

If the father and daughter duo were at work in the family auto shop, they would just run across

the street when there was a fi re.“We ran on a siren that got the

word out to all of us,” Jennifer says. “Th at's how small we were. We didn't have a pager system at all.”

Years ahead of his daughter’s time before Keith ran out the back door of the shop to fi ght his fi rst fi re, the fi re chief had run over to get his help.

“[Th e chief] said, 'Come on, you're driving the fi retruck,'” the 77-year-old says in the garage where he used to work. “I said, ‘I don't know how to operate the truck,’ and he said, ‘You just get it there and somebody will operate it for you.’”

Like father, like daughter, Jennifer would later drive the

second truck when there was a bigblaze.

When she joined, thedepartment had to get her newequipment because none of themen’s gear would fi t her, sherecalls.

And she would turn down helpfrom the others in order to proveshe could pull her own weight onthe crew.

Everyone was good to Jenniferdespite it being “a man's world atthat time,” she says.

Th ey all just worked togetheras a team to try and help thecommunity, much as things aredone today and much as they werein the Dyer brothers’ time.

Even without as much trainingand equipment as there is thesedays, they pulled it off .

“We were professional and westill did a professional job,” Jennifersays. “We were knowledgeableand there wasn't anything that wecouldn't do. We were on the balland we were always there helping.”

In 70 years of the Agassiz FireDepartment’s existence, that’ssomething that hasn’t changed.

“Everybody helped everybody,”Fern Dyer says under the view ofMount Cheam in his living roomwindow. “Th is has always beena pretty good community foreverybody helping.

“You ask for help you got goodhelp around here.”

❖ Th e Agassiz Fire Departmentcelebrates its 70th anniversary thisFriday at the 56th annual banquetand awards night with alumnimembers and honoured guests.

A 25-year-old Agassiz man died in a fatal car accident on Highway 9 Friday night.

At approximately 11:30 p.m. the RCMP’s Fraser Valley Traffi c Services was called to the scene of a single vehicle collision on the highway near Whelpton Road in Agassiz.

Th e vehicle, a 2007 black Dodge Charger left the roadway, struck a lamp

standard and travelled several meters from the roadway coming to rest in a treed area.

Th e driver and sole occupant of the vehicle was pronounced dead at the scene.

Road conditions were slippery due to rain at the time of the accident and speed relative to road conditions is being considered a possible factor, according to police.

“Police are seeking witnesses to assist in determining the cause of this tragic incident,” says Cpl. Ronda McEwen of BC RCMP Traffi c Services.

Th e northbound lane of Highway 9 was shut down for 5 hours as the collision was investigated.

Fraser Valley Traffi c Services was assisted on the scene by the Agassiz

RCMP, Chilliwack RCMP, Agassiz Fire and Rescue, BC Ambulance Service, the Integrated Collision Analyst and Reconstructionist Service and the BC Coroners Service.

Anyone with information is asked to call Fraser Valley Traffi c Services at 604-702-4039 about reference fi le #2015-44385.

Upgrade coming to Kent elementaryGreg LaychakTHE OBSERVER

A long needed upgrade to the Kent elementary mechanical systems will now be possible aft er the provincial government announced $1.3 million in funding to the school.

Th e project includes replacing 17 rooft op units with new heat pumps and condensing boiler backup to provide heat, as well as the installation of a new direct digital control system.

“We get a level of funding to maintain our buildings and what we’ve been doing in the last little while is putting it into the roofi ng,” said

Natalie Lowe-Zucchet, secretary treasurer of Fraser-Cascade school district. “So the mechanical systems are our next projects and we were going to have to piecemeal it and this way we can now aff ord to do it all at once. So we’re very excited because they were coming to the end of their useful life.”

When Lowe-Zucchet applied for the grant she knew it was a high priority for the ministry of education and for the district, she said.

“So when they brought out the new funding model for minor capital projects we had all of the preliminary work in

place to be able to show them what we needed and they obviously felt it was time,” she said.

Because of that advanced preparation Lowe-Zucchet said the work can be done before the end of March next year.

Boards around the province submit capital plans to the ministry that include details on school building priorities in their school districts, and are awarded money based on need, priority, and supporting student learning, according to a government release.

“Th is investment is really signifi cant,” said Laurie Th roness, C h i l l i w a c k - H o p e

MLA. “As the largest investment in B.C., it is four times the average grant under this program.

“Th is shows the high need at Kent Elementary, as well as the high value of this school to the province.”

Stam Watchorn, Kent elementary’s principal said the district is doing its part in applying for maintenance and facilities grants to help make area schools more functional.

“We’re looking forward to having things work more eff ectively and make the learning environment comfortable for students and teachers,” he said.

Th e Fraser-Cascade district also received another $160,000 for lighting upgrades for Silver Creek elementary school.

“I think we got our fair share for sure,” Lowe-Zucchet said of the projects that were approved under the province’s routine capital program.

Influenza vaccine now availableTh is year’s infl uenza vaccine is available at doctors’

offi ces, public health clinics and pharmacies across B.C.

Provincial Health Offi cer Dr. Perry Kendall said the main fl u season runs from late November through to next April, and cases of H3N2 infl uenza are already showing up. Th at strain aff ects mainly older people, while infl uenza B is expected to show up by February and spread among children.

Th e vaccine is is free for children between six months and fi ve years, seniors aged 65 and older, pregnant women, aboriginal people and those with chronic health conditions, as well as caregivers and others who expect to be in close contact with higher-risk groups.

About 3,500 people die in Canada each winter from infl uenza and its complications, with hospital and residential care patients the most vulnerable. Kendall said infl uenza causes more deaths than all other vaccine-preventable illnesses combined.

Th is year’s vaccine is expected to provide 40 to 60 per cent protection against H3N2 and 65 per cent protection against various strains of infl uenza B.

“Th e annual fl u vaccine is still the best tool we have to protect against getting the fl u,” said Dr. Charles Webb, president of the Doctors of B.C. “Combined with regular hand washing, you are also protecting those around you who may be more vulnerable to serious fl u complications.”

To fi nd the nearest fl u shot clinic, call HealthLink BC at 8-1-1 or use the online infl uenza clinic fi nder at www.immunizebc.ca/clinics/fl u.

New mosquito a potential disease carrierJeff NagelBLACK PRESS

An invasive Asian mosquito that can carry diseases such as encephalitis has been detected for the fi rst time in Western Canada, at a site in Metro Vancouver.

SFU biologist Peter Belton was among the researchers who found the Aedes Japonicus mosquito species breeding in water on a tarp in a Maple Ridge

backyard.Th e closest the

species had been detected previously was in southern Washington and Oregon in 2008, and it has been found in Eastern Canada and the U.S. since 1998.

Th e mosquito is capable of transmitting West Nile virus, three types of encephalitis and Chikungunya, a viral disease that causes fever and severe joint pain mainly in Africa

and Asia.Belton says the

mosquito could pose a signifi cant public health hazard in the future if global warming expands the distribution of the diseases it can carry.

"We believe it could be a signifi cant threat to the health of humans and domestic animals and recommend that its population should be monitored," Belton and other researchers said in their paper published in

the Journal of Medical Entomology.

Th ere is no current concern about disease spread from the new species but that could change, said Scott McMahon, operations manager for Culex Environmental, which monitors mosquitos in the region for Metro Vancouver.

"West Nile was never in Canada before either," he said, adding that could be a cautionary tale for the eventual arrival of a new disease.

"You don't know how it might be introduced, but we're one step closer I would say," McMahon said.

"To have a pathogen and the transmission of it you need the right (mosquito) species and the right pathogen. Now we have one out of two."

Researchers fi rstidentifi ed the Japonicuslarvae in July 2014 ina Maple Ridge garden,where more than 200were counted by early2015.

An adult femalewas found feeding 13kilometres further eastin in Mission in May.

Th at led theresearchers to concludeat least two populationshave been established inthe Lower Mainland.

SFU researchers andCulex Environmentalare continuing to studythe insects, hoping topinpoint their originthrough DNA anddetermine how they aremost likely to spread.

Mobile falls clinics for seniors to expandJeff NagelBLACK PRESS

Mobile clinics pioneered by Fraser Health to helpseniors avoid dangerous falls and stay active longerwill be rolled out across the province.

Th e mobile labs bring imaging instruments likeX-ray body scans and fall-risk assessment tools toindividual communities.

Seniors can meet with nurses, pharmacists,kinesiologists and physiotherapists to get varioustests involving strength, balance, vision, bloodpressure, a medication review and a diet evaluationfocused on calcium and vitamin D. Th ey leave with apersonalized activity program.

"Th ere are four key ways to prevent falls as asenior: get your eyes checked, make your homesafer, get regular exercise – including strength andbalance training – and ask your doctor or pharmacistto review your medications," said Fabio Feldman,manager of Fraser Health's falls and injury preventionprogram. "Following this simple advice could saveyou, or someone you love, the pain and suff ering ofa dangerous fall."

Th e mobile clinics fi rst launched in Fraser Healthbut increased provincial funding will allow them togo province-wide by 2018, in partnership with theCentre for Hip Health and Mobility at VancouverGeneral Hospital.

Seniors can contact their GP for a referral for thenext time the clinics come to their area.

Each year, one-third of B.C. seniors fall, and 4,000seniors who fall sustain a hip fracture. Falls are the topcause of injury-related deaths in seniors in B.C.

Jessica PetersBLACK PRESS

Angeline Haslett’s commute is one of the prettiest drives around, in any season.

She gets to meander through a farming valley, over a rugged mountain and alongside rivers, between her home in Harrison Hot Springs and her job as a kindergarten teacher at Sts’ailes Community School.

And that means she gets to drive right through bald eagle territory. It’s a beautiful corner of the world anytime of year, but in the fall and winter when the eagles come to get their fi ll on the salmon spawning up the Harrison River, the beauty abounds.

And Haslett is oft en ready with her camera, for those magical moments when good lighting and good timing unite.

“I kicked myself yesterday,” she says, in a phone call with Black Press. “I didn’t have the camera and there were two eagles, and one was coming down with his talons out.”

It’s the type of image that compels Haslett to pull over, grab her gear, and settle in for some time with her latest hobby. She took up photography less than two years ago, when her children had all left home and her time was freed up.

“When your kids fi nally do move out, you realize it’s time to do something for yourself,” she says. “I did have an interest in photography before, but never did pursue it.”

She had done some SLR work back in university, about 30 years ago. Th at means she’d been in a darkroom, and understood the processes behind good photography. And years ago, she adds, she did paint — well enough to sell some of her work.

But she still considers herself new to this medium, and so has been pleasantly surprised how quickly her work has gained attention.

Earlier this year, she earned second place for the photo contest run by the Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival society, which promotes education and appreciation of the eagles through events, lectures and the annual festival.

Haslett was also one of the winners of a Black Press photography contest from a one-day challenge at the

Abbotsford Airshow this August, with her image of fi reworks exploding behind a B-25 Mitchell bomber

And this week, Haslett learned more good news. An image she captured downtown Vancouver has won an award from Canadian Geographic, and will be published in that magazine in an upcoming edition.

“I’m delighted, needless to say,” she says.

She hasn’t spent a fortune on photography — yet.

“I’ve started off slow,” she explains. “I still don’t have that great of equipment, and I think the lens I used for that photograph was a 70-300mm Nikon.”

Even the best cameras need an artist’s eye behind it, and when looking for subjects, Haslett has her criteria.

“We need to fi nd something out of the ordinary,” she says, of bird photographers. “It can’t just be a bird in the tree, or a bird fl ying in the air. It has to be a bird doing something extraordinary, something people don’t always see. It has be be interesting.”

Th e winning photo this year went to Rick Skerry, of an eagle seeming to look at his own image refl ected in water.

And Haslett’s photo, shown above, is an image not just of an eagle preening himself but of the heavy swarm of fl ies attracted to him. It’s an unusual image, that shows another side of the bald eagle’s existence.

We don’t oft en think of bald eagles being dirty, she explains. And when chatting with photographers since her photo was chosen, they sometimes tell her they have taken similar photos, with diff erent results.

“Th ey say. ‘I shot photos like that too and deleted them,’” she says, laughing.

She says getting a good shot is made easier if the natural light is just right, and if the eagles are in abundance.

Th e height of the eagles’ return is during the festival, Nov. 21 and 22, she says.

It’s a great time to photograph the interaction between the eagles and the salmon, but there are learning opportunities, too. Th e society holds talks throughout the weekend, including a salmon talk with ecologist David

Hancock. Visitors will get chance to meet Sonsie, a rehabilitated eagle, and look through scopes aimed at the sensitive “fl ats” in the middle of the river where the eagles rest and hunt.

It’s important to remember not to encroach on the eagles’ space, to be respectful and mindful of the delicate ecosystem at play.

More information on how to conduct yourself while in the area has been posted at the main areas, and more information about the festival is available on the Fraser Vally Bald Eagle Festival’s website.

Local photographer makes her mark

ANGELINE HASLETT PHOTO Angeline Haslett’s image of a bald eagle swarmed with flies earned her the sec-ond prize in a photo contest held by the Fraser Valley Bald Eagle Festival’s society. It’s just one of many prizes she’s earned since picking up her camera two years ago.

To avoid scams, just askIf it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.Th at’s an expression worth remembering now — and as we get closer to the

busy shopping season, a time when what we might receive at Christmas starts to cloud our minds. In fact, it’s something everyone, of any age, should have etched into their brains, as incidents of fraud and scams press on, seemingly unabated.

thousands of dollars — or a bridge — for seemingly no reason. Or at least for no reason a person would reasonably expect to have anything to do with them. Unfortunately, windfalls like that are usually pipe dreams.

Whether it’s greed, a simple feeling of not wanting to upset people or for some other reason, folks fall for scams all the time. And so, the scammers keep calling, emailing and writing, hoping for a response — just enough to encourage the behaviour.

And once a person and their money are parted, it’s exceedingly diffi cult for the authorities to get it back.

Yet, police and fi nancial institutions fi ght hard to try to prevent scams and the people who run them from taking advantage of people. Even so, we cannot rely on them. Individuals must be on guard — for the day will come when someone will try to weasel our hard-earned cash from our pockets.

When that happens, and the whole thing makes you curious or uncomfortable, just ask questions. Ask them who they are. Ask for their phone number. Ask for their boss. And then ask to phone them back.

And if you are still not feeling good about it, just hang up.Police continually tell us the best way to fi nd out if something is a scam or

not, is to call the agency purported to be off ering the windfall. Contact them directly and ask if the off er is on the up and up.

Most times, if it’s a bank or Canada Revenue Agency, they’ll tell you it’s a scam and you should ignore it.

Th ere are people out there who want to separate us from our money for nasty reasons. It’s up to us to know the diff erence between them and the good people out there. Sometimes, all it takes to be sure is to ask.

VICTORIA – Th e B.C. government declared the fi rst Conservation Offi cer Day on Nov. 4, to recognize the 110-year history of the service that started out as mostly volunteer “game wardens.”

Th is is overdue recognition for what is essentially a police force that only receives public notice when a bear or cougar has to be killed to protect people.

Th e ceremony at the B.C. legislature included awards. Chief Conservation Offi cer Doug Forsdick presented long-service medals and two commendations for lifesaving.

One was to CO Jason Hawkes, who rescued a family of four from their sinking boat on Kootenay Lake last June. He reached them in rough, windy conditions when

they were waist-deep in water, far from shore.

Th e other went to CO Andrew Anaka, for rescuing an angler from an overturned boat, whom he found “extremely hypothermic” at the base of a cliff at a lake near Powell River on Jan. 22. A second angler didn’t make it to shore.

An exemplary service medal went to CO Micah Kneller, who caught up with Fort Nelson RCMP offi cers and paramedics on Sept. 6, as they treated a hunter who had been attacked by a grizzly in a remote area. As darkness fell, Kneller found a second injured hunter, got the group together, built a fi re and assisted until a rescue helicopter from CFB Comox lift ed the hunters out at 3 a.m.

NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert had a couple of things on his mind at the event. He relayed a report from the B.C. Government Employees’ Union that there has been a 10 per cent cut in CO staff since 2002.

Not so, replied Environment Minister Mary Polak. Th e number has “hovered around 148” in that time, she said, including seasonal

staff for peak hunting and fi shing periods.

Polak said extra investment has gone into trucks that serve as mobile command centres, so people aren’t sitting in offi ces waiting for the phone to ring. Th ey patrol more and respond faster, which can be vital.

Chandra Herbert also blasted the government for a “donation” of $100,000 from the Freshwater Fishing Society of B.C. to increase angling enforcement this summer, adding more seasonal CO days. “What’s next, bake sales?” he said.

Th e real story is a bit more complicated. In March I reported that the B.C. Liberal government fi nally made good on a decade-old promise to turn over all revenue from freshwater fi shing licence sales to the society.

Its revenue went from $7 million to $10 million once the government fi nally ended the practice of skimming some off for the general treasury.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett recalled that the society was established during the fi rst years of Gordon Campbell’s government, a period of what Bennett called “religious zeal” for privatization.

Th e society spends most of its budget restocking lakes with trout and promoting responsible angling, but its new 30-year

service contract also calls on it to contribute to enforcement. Th is is the fi rst year that has happened, and Polak said the extra fi shing violation tickets indicate it is working.

Th e CO service also works on cases such as the Mount Polley mine breach. It has a commercial environmental enforcement unit, a special investigations unit to deal with smuggling and organized crime, and an intelligence analyst. In short, they’re real cops, working with a group of about 150 compliance offi cers at the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations.

Th ey don’t get much respect from an urban public informed by celebrity wildlife protesters such as Pamela Anderson, Miley Cyrus and Ricky Gervais.

GREEN THUMB


MailbagOpen letter to the Village of

Harrison Hot Springs:I have long been an advocate

for responsible stewardship of trees and over the past 10-years have written letters to Council and the paper in support. Today I send you additional information to explain why?

Research by Suzanne Simard at the University of British Columbia found that Douglas fi r and paper birch trees transfer carbon back and forth through the mycelia, and other research shows they can also transfer nitrogen and phosphorous. Simard believes older, larger trees help younger

trees through this process. She found that the smaller trees’ survival oft en depends on large “mother trees” and that cutting down these tree elders leaves seedlings and smaller trees more vulnerable.

Researchers in China found trees attacked by harmful fungi are able to warn other trees through the mycelia networks, and University of Aberdeen biologists found they can also warn other plants of aphid attacks.

It all adds to our growing understanding of how interconnected everything on our planet is, and how our

actions — such as cutting down large “mother” trees — can have unintended negative consequences that cascade through ecosystems.

I spoke to the Mayor last week concerning removal of birch trees along the 400-block of the protected riparian area of the Miami River Greenway. Please note the fi rst paragraph of the research to understand my concern.

Please let me know at your earliest convenience when stewardship practices in the Village of Harrison Hot Springs are going respect all our large “mother” trees. When is

a long-term management plan that maintains instead of removes “mother” trees going to be employed? Examples of past “unintended consequences” is removal of the “mother” maples in Rendall Park, the “mother” red alder & birch in the Village overfl ow parking lot and multiple ones along the length of the Miami River Greenway. An example of better Village stewardship is the “Clark Gable” oaks from the Post Offi ce to St. Alice Street.

Janne PerrinHarrison Hot Springs

‘Mother trees’ deserve our protection

With the conclusion of our national Poppy Campaign, I want to thank all Canadians for your support and dedication for this campaign.

With every Poppy worn proudly by Canadians today, we send a message of thanks and gratitude to our Veterans, both past and present, and those who are still serving in the Canadian Armed Forces, members of the RCMP and their families. Th is year, Legion Branches across the country have reported outstanding results for their Poppy Campaigns. With more than 21 million Poppies worn this year, the

eff orts of Canadians to remember the more than 117,000 servicemen and women who paid the ultimate sacrifi ce have been heard loud and clear.

Every year, funds collected through the Poppy Campaign are used to provide direct assistance for Veterans and their families who are in fi nancial need. Th e Legion truly cares about all Veterans. In fact, the 2014 Poppy Campaign provided more than $16.5 million in assistance to Canada’s Veterans and serving personnel.

As President of the Legion, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Canadians for your

kindness and generosity. To those who gave of their time and their funds, your collective contribution will ensure that our Veterans and their families will continue to receive the care and support they need, and that our children will remember the great sacrifi ces that have been made for the freedoms we all enjoy today.

We Will Remember Th em,

Greg LaychakTHE OBSERVER

Local youngsters are the future of the Agassiz Legion Branch 32.

Th at’s the vision of Jim Johnson, youth chairman for the organization.

“Th ese are future legion members,” he said following a visit from six Agassiz Centre for Education (ACE) students last week. “Th ey’ll look aft er our veterans in the years to come.”

Johnson gave the class a tour of the legion and let them handle war artifacts, describing them while the students passed them around.

“I used to take stuff into the classrooms but now… I prefer to take them in there,” he said. “Th ere’s so much more for them to see.”

He’s been conducting tours for the last two years since the government loosened regulation on rules allowing children in the legions the year before he started, Johnson said.

Th is year only two classes came through, but it wasn’t

for a lack of interest. Johnson already gave most of the local classes a tour, with half a dozen making the rounds last year.

It’s all about the history, according to Johnson. With the visual and tactile props, the stories and facts stick in their minds more readily, he adds.

And he uses honesty to try to change the reputation of legions.

“I start my talks off with those groups with why legions were formed in the fi rst place,” Johnson said. “Basically

because they knew nothing about post traumatic stress disorder – the only thing they could tell people to do was go to the legion and get drunk.

“And that’s the reputation that a lot of people still have of the legion.”

But that’s not what they are today, he said.

Th ere are more non-veteran members today than veterans and it’s a much more social place to be, Johnson said.

“Whereas the only ones that a lot of these guys from World

War I would talk to were other veterans that were in the trenches with them,” he said.

And it’s also diffi cult to get younger veterans in these days, according to Johnson.

However, getting the local youth in seems to be having an impact.

Bonds formed with ACE stretch into other activities throughout the year and the Legion holds occasional senior teen lunches like the one coming up next week.

Th at kind of intergenerational interaction is benefi cial for both parties according to Johnson.

“Any time I see kids working with adults it really pays dividends,” he said.

Johnson thinks that all the attention the Legion gets at this time of year is good even if it’s all at once.

“Sure we should be looking at veterans more than once a year, but I think to bunch it up like we do on Remembrance Day is a good thing.

“I think it’s benefi cial, I really do or I wouldn’t be doing it.”

Greg Laychak / ObserverACE students take a tour of the Agassiz Legion from youth chairman Jim Johnson last week. The class was out selling poppies before the tour of the hall they have nicknamed “ACE east campus.”

Legion looks to next generation

PEOPLE WHO READ

NEWSPAPERS AND PEOPLE WHO HAVE

MONEY HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON.

Newspaper ads, both print and online, play a key role in helping people make their banking and investment decisions.

Newspapers and their sites outperform all other media in engaging Canadians, including high-income Canadians, boomers, moms and even young adults.

All of which makes advertising in newspapers a very smart move.

If you missed the opportunity to experience the ultimate combination of magical entertainment and casual cabaret atmosphere with the fi rst sold-out installment of Shawn Farquhar’s Cabaret of Wonders, this is your lucky day. Cabaret of Wonders Two will once again kindle that unmistakable ambience of amazement and awe-inspiring entertainment at Th e Chilliwack Cultural Centre for an incredible double performance at both 7:00pm and 10:00pm on November 20, 2015. Don’t risk missing out on the next step in this exciting magical journey – make sure to join Shawn and Th e Centre for the Cabaret of Wonders – Two.

With a fantastic sold-out in advance opening night show, Shawn Farquhar’s Cabaret of Wonders got off to a hugely successful start, proving just how much audiences love the unmatched excitement that magic off ers - especially combined with the Cabaret’s up-c l o s e - an d - p e rs on a l atmosphere. It was a thrilling beginning to the four-part series, and as Th e Chilliwack Cultural Centre is the only facility in the province to present magic in this format, as well as Shawn’s local links as a Lower Mainland magician himself, it reveals just how strongly magical energy runs through the region.

Yet the power of magic knows no boundaries – as demonstrated by the guests that Shawn will be welcoming to Th e

Centre for Cabaret of Wonders Two. While the opening night revealed the prowess of three Canadian conjurers, the upcoming event will add a pair of international illusionists to the fun, bringing Master Payne of Seattle and Michael Dardant all the way from New Orleans, Louisiana up to British Columbia.

A familiar face to a huge range of events in the Seattle area, including family events, monthly magical shows and even medieval and renaissance fairs, Master Payne is an award-winning magician that has been astounding audiences for almost 30 incredible years. A specialist in theatrical, character-driven magic, he has been dubbed one of the world’s leading family entertainers, and his style of quirky, offb eat performance will be an incredibly fun addition to the show.

Michael Dardant will be covering a few more

airmiles than his fellow American however, packing a combination of both sleight of hand and stage magic along with his Southern fl air. “At the age of fi ve I was bitten by a wizard – I woke up in a cold sweat and all of a sudden I had the ability to do card tricks.” he laughs, and audiences can expect plenty of this characteristic humour alongside Michael’s huge array of magical skills when he performs in Chilliwack. An award-winner himself, Michael became the most decorated magician in North America for the year of 2012 when he claimed an amazing 13 championship medals, including taking 1st place for both Stage and Close Up Magic at Canada’s Magical Convention – a fantastic way to complement Shawn Farquhar’s spectacular magical skills.

Th is variety of performers, styles, and magical mastery lies at

the heart of the Cabaret of Wonders – and with the unique elements that both Master Payne and Michael Dardant will add to Shawn Farquhar’s own world-class performance, Cabaret of Wonders Two is set to be another unforgettable celebration of magic. With performances at both 7:30 and 10:00pm you can either get in on the action early or enjoy a late-night display of magical talent – the choice is yours. But don’t forget that tickets for the opening night of this innovative magic series sold out in advance, so don’t delay on securing yours today – waiting around could be even riskier than getting sawn in half.

Tickets are $20 and are available at Th e Centre Box Offi ce, visit www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca or call 604-391-SHOW(7469) for more information.

Magical Mystery of the Cabaret of Wonders returns for the second show

An Agassiz manufacturing facility owns a little bit of Canadian history.

Britco has designed, built and delivered Canada’s fi rst multi-unit modular building adhering to Passive House standards. International Passive House standards are currently considered one of the highest levels of energy effi ciency for buildings.

Th is project was built at Britco's Agassiz facility.

In order for a building to be certifi ed to Passive House standards, it must pass a rigorous quality assurance process that meets a criteria that includes space heat demand, primary energy demand and pressurization testing.

“Th e Bella Bella Passive House was designed to require a maximum of just 600 watts of heat per unit, even on the coldest day of the year,” said Monte Paulsen, the Certifi ed Passive House Consultant who advised the project

on behalf of Red Door Energy Design Ltd. “Certifi cation to the standard will ensure that these design criteria will be achieved, and that the residents will be comfortable for years to come.”

Although Passive House projects are fairly well-known in Europe, these concepts are quite new to North America.

“We’re proud to be among Canada’s leaders in modular Passive House projects,” said Britco’s president, Obie Erickson. “It’s very exciting that we were able to deliver Vancouver Coastal Health Authority a building that was both cost eff ective and extremely energy effi cient – and within a tight timeline.”

Th is project for Vancouver Coastal Health Authority consisted of six, two-storey townhomes designed to house hospital employees in this remote area of BC’s Central Coast.

Britco has designed, built and delivered Canada’s first multi-unit modular building adhering to Passive House standards.

Britco sets new mark in energy efficient modular construction
