Chilliwack breaks into investment Top 10Jennifer FeinbergThe Progress

It’s not just the economy, afford-able real estate and skills-focused education that put Chilliwack on the Top 10 list of B.C. towns for investment in 2013 by the Real Estate Investment Network.

It’s also the lowest taxes, a down-town plan with incentives, and impressive GDP gains. Chilliwack made it onto REIN’s ‘must watch’ list, but this is the first time Chilliwack has ever been singled out for its investment potential.

“Chilliwack’s lower property values compared to the Fraser Valley and Lower Mainland have always been appealing, but rents had not crept up for properties to make sense here,” said Don R. Campbell, one of the report authors and senior analyst with Real Estate Investment Network (REIN). “Investors who know the city and do some digging can cer-tainly find cash-flowing properties here.”

There’s a business friendly cul-ture at City Hall.

“The secret to investing in Chilliwack,” said Campbell, “is to be very aware of tenant profiles and property locations. Risk is higher for real estate investors in areas undergoing revitalization but the pay off may very well be higher as the City provides redevelopment incentives and has great political leadership welcoming to the inves-tor.”

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz said she’s thankful and the study shows that they’re on the right track, particularly with the Downtown plan and other initia-tives they’ve launched.

Not everyone in the demolition industry gets to tear down their old high school.

But CSS grad Chris Duffy, who is also project superintendent with Clearview Grinding, got to do just that early Monday morn-ing.

He was in the large excavator outside the Chilliwack secondary gym, ready to take the first swipe at the gym section of the old building at about 8 a.m., as Phase

2 of the new CSS project starts.“When I found out we got the

bid, it was, ‘Right on, I’m doing my school!’” said Duffy. “It’s not every kid who gets to knock down his old school.”

Duffy, 37, still lives in Chilliwack two decades after attending CSS.

“I’m very excited,” he told The Progress on Friday. “For me it’s a big thing. It means I get to work just a few minutes from my home. Usually we’re in Burnaby or Vancouver.”

Clearview general manag-

er Brad Morrison said he also recently had the privilege of tear-ing down his own high school, and Duffy’s son was given the chance to deliver the first hit his school, the old Rosedale middle a few years ago.

This time coincidentally, it was Duffy’s turn, as the demolition contract came up for his old high school, Chilliwack senior.

The new school’s first phase of construction was complete ear-lier this summer. Phase 2 starts with the demolition of the exist-ing school.

It’s environmentally conscien-tious the way Clearview conducts the demolition process.

Most of the materials are reduced in size, chopped into smaller pieces using a type of chipper, sorted and recycled.

In fact 90 per cent of the waste product is recycled from a Clearview demolition site, said Morrison, and they have end users who are interested in the recycled materials.

Bo Johnson (right) rejects his schizophrenia diagnosis. He is pictured here with his father, Barry. JENNA HAUCK/ PROGRESS

Alina KonevskiThe Progress

Bo Johnson doesn’t talk much. And when he does, it’s in curt single words and short sentences. He cloaks himself in layers of shirts and vests, gloves, sunglass-es, a hat, protecting him from the outside world. He doesn’t usually seek company, and finds crowds overwhelming.

Bo was diagnosed with schizophrenia at age 23, but has never accepted it. Even now, two decades later, he insists that he was fine when he was first taken to see a psychiatrist.

“Business as usual,” he said. “I was signed in involuntarily.”

Bo is a classic case of someone who lacks insight into his illness. As Barry Johnson, Bo’s father and head of the Chilliwack chapter of the B.C. Schizophrenia Society, said: “If you accept it, you can help yourself. But if you don’t accept it, then you’re going to fight it. And the minute you try to fight it, forget it.”

This is a common reality for

those with serious mental health issues.

“Schizophrenia is one of the hardest to treat,” said Chilliwack psychiatrist Dr. Saju Antony. “Many patients don’t accept that they have schizophrenia.”

Antony tries reasoning with them, but sometimes doesn’t get anywhere.

For people like Bo, failing to recognize the symptoms makes it harder to manage the illness, and live a normal life. It becomes more difficult to keep a job, and find decent housing, and connect with other people. Conversely, the lack of paid work, permanent housing, and social support can exacerbate mental illness.

That’s when people risk becom-ing chronic offenders in society. Some may also abuse drugs or alcohol in a mistaken attempt to self-medicate.

Bo has never followed that path, but Eric Hunken has a different story. Living with bipo-lar and borderline personality disorder in Chilliwack, he was once a heavy crack cocaine and

methamphetamine user because the drugs helped him forget his personal struggles.

And he wasn’t alone. Over half of the mentally ill abuse illegal drugs or alcohol, compared with only 15 per cent of the general population, according to the BC branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association.

A person may try to drown out symptoms of mental illness, such as insomnia, anxiety, and racing thoughts, with drugs or alcohol. Meanwhile, substance abuse may provoke depression, hallucina-tions, and paranoia.

Such a concurrent disorder of mental illness and substance abuse makes a person even more likely to come into contact with the police, perhaps for making multiple calls to 9-1-1, or for public disturbance.

Since November, 2011, Chilliwack RCMP have an officer dedicated to redirecting some chronic offenders away from the justice system, in recognition that a few residents take up a dispro-portionate amount of police time and resources.

“It was recognized that the police were dealing with a group of clients that we shouldn’t be dealing with, and that we were criminalizing their behaviour by

keeping them in jail, arresting them for the weekend for public order disturbances,” said Cpl. Len vanNieuwenhuizen.

Const. Valerie Conroy, Chilliwack’s first and only social chronic program coordinator, has 10 to 15 names on a list each month for whom she tries to find services and care facilities. The majority of her clients have mental illnesses.

Because the names come from other officers, the system depends on police on the ground to sift out social chronic offenders from the rest.

Hunken, who has trained RCMP officers on dealing with the mentally ill, says that police have the most direct contact with people with mental health issues in Chilliwack, but officers need to be better informed.

For instance, using words like “help” instead of “arrest” would improve a tense situation.

“The manner that they speak to us has a change in the way we respond,” said Hunken. “We need a different approach. Because we’re at a really bad place. But we’re not always going to be there.”

Another misconception that Hunken works on is that of vio-lence. There’s a common fear in

society that the mentally ill are dangerous.

In fact, sufferers of schizo-phrenia are more likely to harm themselves than anyone else; 10 per cent end up commit-ting suicide, according to the B.C. Schizophrenia Society. Schizophrenics also commit fewer acts of violence per capita than the average population.

“They (RCMP officers) see people with mental illness at their worst,” said Hunken. “They didn’t realize that people get better, or have good days.”

Hunken has found that there’s a mistaken belief among officers that most people are schizophren-ic with psychotic symptoms, when in fact schizophrenia is much less common than bipolar disorder or depression. He also had one offi-cer in Chilliwack ask if there was a blood test for mental illness.

Conroy agreed that education is the way forward. Chilliwack officers are required to have train-ing in mental health through an online course, renewed every three years.

For the Johnsons, cracks in the system are a big challenge. For example, when people with mental health issues are released from

National crime rate declines; B.C. third

After 30 years in the newspaper industry, publisher Liz Lynch is moving on to new chal-lenges and responsibili-ties.

Lynch, who came to the Chilliwack Progress five years ago, is the new executive direc-tor of the Chilliwack Hospice Society.

As a former board member with the soci-ety, Lynch is well aware of the role hospice

plays in the com-m u n i t y, providing s u p p o r t and qual-ity of life for the dying and bereaved.

When the position became available, said Lynch, “I knew it was an opportunity I had to explore.”

During her initial

board orientation, she remembers hearing a presentation from one of the society’s 200 vol-unteers. “He was so pas-sionate about his work, I knew this was an orga-nization that provided outstanding support to our community.”

Lynch says she has enjoyed her time with Black Press and The Progress, and will miss the fast-paced and ever-changing world of the

newspaper industry.“Working at The

Progress gave me the opportunity to work with many talented and professional staff, and I thank them for their support over the past five years. They are truly dedicated to the community and to the success of The Progress.”

Lynch says she has also enjoyed working with and getting to

know the individuals and community groups that make Chilliwack such a great place to live. She says she’s look-ing forward to maintain-ing that contact in her new role as hospice’s executive director.

Alina KonevskiThe Progress

The Fraser Valley Regional District has rejected Metro Vancouver’s offer to con-sult on the Waste-to-Energy incinerator plan, on the grounds that dialogue won’t be meaningful until Metro demonstrates more transparency about the project.

In a brief letter dated July 12, Greg Moore, chair of the Metro Vancouver board of directors, invited three FVRD directors to a meeting to discuss “out-standing issues.”

“I would reiterate Metro Vancouver’s invitation to consult on the important topic of waste-to-energy in our region,” wrote Moore. “Please consider appointments of up to three interested FVRD directors who can meet with the same number of Metro Vancouver directors. This would support a full discussion of outstanding

issues.”Moore concluded with his hope of hear-

ing from FVRD “so we may advance this important discussion.”

The letter arrived two weeks after Zero Waste Committee chair Malcolm Brodie’s visit to FVRD’s board meeting resulted in a tense confrontation between Brodie and FVRD directors on the issue of waste

management.At last Tuesday’s FVRD board meeting,

chair Sharon Gaetz directed staff to draft a reply rejecting Metro’s invitation.

The FVRD will not consult with Metro Vancouver on waste-to-energy until FVRD obtains a seat on the WTE third party expert panel, and until Metro shares all WTE-related documents at no charge.

“We have no interest in listening to talk-ing heads and not having meaningful dia-logue. We need all the same information that they have in order to have that kind of meaningful consultation,” said Gaetz.

Once those two conditions are met, Gaetz assured that FVRD will welcome consultation.

“We will look forward to it, we will be so excited, we will move everything on our calendars to be there, wherever they choose to conduct it.”

An open letter to all Canadians

Bell Canada is taking the unusual step of writing to all Canadians today. As the nation’s longest-serving telecommunications company, established shortly after Confederation in 1880, we would like to ensure Canadians clearly understand a critical situation impacting their world-leading wireless industry.

Verizon Communications, a $120-billion US telecommunications giant with 100 million wireless customers, is considering entering the Canadian market. A company of this scale certainly doesn’t need handouts from Canadians or special regulatory advantages over Canadian companies. But that is exactly what they get in the new federal wireless regulations.

Bell welcomes any competitor, but they should compete on a level playing field. Fair competition is something Canadians demand and something Bell expects too after 133 years of investment in delivering world-class communications services to Canadians.

Unintended advantages for American giants: How we got here

The federal government has recently taken an activist role in regulating Canada’s wireless industry. That includes giving various benefits to small startup wireless competitors. With Ottawa’s help, the new companies have become part of the vigorously competitive Canadian wireless marketplace.

But the government inadvertently left holes in the wireless rules that would give big US corporations the same extraordinary advantages as the small startups. And all Canadians are on the hook to pay.

Verizon has said it’s looking at taking advantage of this unique opportunity. We do not believe a US company 4x the size of Canada’s entire wireless industry combined requires special help from Canada. It’s profoundly unfair to all Canadians, and Ottawa needs to close the loopholes.

3 loopholes in the rules

Under federal regulations originally designed for startup competitors, Verizon would actually get these benefits…

1. Verizon would be able to buy twice as much of Canada’s airwaves as Canadian companies like Bell can in an upcoming auction of wireless spectrum – the airwaves that carry your calls and data.

These airwaves are a public resource, and access to them is critical to providing you with world-leading wireless services. When Ottawa auctions off Canada’s airwaves for use by telecommunications companies, it gets significant revenues. These are public funds. It is inappropriate for our own government to essentially reserve a public resource for a company like Verizon to the detriment of Canadian companies. In doing so, the government will also reduce federal auction revenue significantly – by potentially hundreds of millions of dollars. A loophole that gives US companies access to twice as much of our airwaves and at a lower cost is an unfair advantage, paid for by Canadians.

2. They get to piggyback on the networks of Canadian carriers wherever they don’t want to invest and build their own.

Under the rules, Verizon would have the right to offer wireless service using the advanced networks funded by Canadian companies and built by Canadian workers. Industry experts say a Verizon wouldn’t need to build its own network throughout Canada, invest in Canada’s rural communities, or support Canadian jobs like Canadian wireless companies do. Instead, they would concentrate on a few big urban centres, forcing Canadian carriers to do the same while potentially cutting jobs and slashing costs in order to compete.

3. Verizon can acquire smaller Canadian competitors – but Bell and other Canadian wireless companies can’t even try.

American players like Verizon can buy up new Canadian wireless companies like Wind Mobile and Mobilicity at cut-rate prices – including their existing spectrum holdings previously subsidized by Canadian taxpayers. Yet Canadian carriers like Bell are restricted from competing to acquire these Canadian startups, even if the new companies want it to happen. That means Verizon gets them for below-market value.

What did Ottawa get from the United States in return for this unprecedented access to Canada? Nothing. No reciprocity in the US for Canadian companies. In fact, can you even imagine Canadian wireless companies getting preferred access to New York, Los Angeles or Chicago?

3 straightforward ways to close the loopholes

The Bell team is ready to compete with anyone for your business on a level playing field. But big US companies taking advantage of rules designed to help Canadian startups is just not on the level.

To get wireless policy back on track, we propose that…

1. Canadian wireless carriers should be able to bid for the same amount of Canada’s airwaves as Americans can.

2. US operators entering Canada should roll out wireless service across the country, just as Canadian companies have.

3. If a small Canadian wireless company seeks a buyer, Canadian carriers should be allowed to bid, just as the Americans can.

US giants don’t need special help from the Canadian government, and Canadians shouldn’t have to pay their way into the country.

Instead, let’s give Canada’s own communications companies a fair chance to compete with them.

Sincerely,

George Cope, President and CEO, Bell Canada and BCE

We’re not the only ones concerned“Why would Ottawa create a policy environment that favours a U.S. telecom giant and deliberately trashes the shareholders of the major Canadian wireless players?”

“But there is no basis for the Commission to give certain large companies a regulatory hand-out… so they can acquire spectrum… at a substantial discount over the price that would otherwise be received.”

Verizon, Regulatory filing to the FCC on U.S. Incentive Auctions, March 12, 2013

“In fact a report published last week commissioned by the CRTC suggested a similar conclusion (that wireless prices have come down meaningfully since 2008) – so we’re not entirely sure where Industry Canada is getting its data about the market not being competitive. Then again, the government wouldn’t let a little data get in the way of a good lever for getting votes, and that’s clearly what is going on here.”

Bob Bek, CIBC World Markets, July 12, 2013

“The perception that Canadian prices are high relative to other jurisdictions has been seized upon by the government as an invitation to intervene and deliver lower prices. But the perception is false and the invitation is illogical.”

Dr. Jeffrey Church and Andrew Wilkins of the University of Calgary, The Globe and Mail,

“…the federal government’s anything-goes market interventions to support a fourth carrier have so gerrymandered the rules to favour Verizon sweeping in that any investor seriously interested in buying shares in Canadian telecom companies should be spooked.”

Sean Silcoff, The Globe and Mail, June 27, 2013

“This will mean significant layoffs which could easily trump the hiring to be done by Verizon, which besides a needed presence in retail outlets, should be able to initially handle a lot of functions (marketing, billing) from the United States.”

Adam Shine, National Bank Financial, June 26, 2013

“Unlike the national incumbents in Canada, we wonder if Verizon has a strategy for wireless broadband in rural markets, a key political consideration for the current Conservative Government.”

Thursday at 45860 Spadina Ave., Chilliwack. The Progress is a member of the Canadian Circulation’s Audit Board, Canadian Community Newspaper Association, British Columbia and Yukon Community Newspaper Association and B.C. Press Council.

If you think it’s been hot and dry, well it has. This July has been the driest since 1960 with twice the number of hot days.

“(There was) only two mil-limetres of rain on July 17th,” said Roger Pannett, Chilliwack’s volunteer weather observer for Environment Canada. “July’s aver-age rainfall is 46 mm on six days. To date we’ve had six hot days over 30 degrees C. The average for the month is three days. To date this summer, the hottest day was the record breaking 35 degrees C on June 30th.”

The consequences can affect water temperature and stream flows for migrating salmon but there’s a bigger picture being debated around the water cooler. Research is highlighting some alarming facts in the climate equa-tion, especially the staggering economic cost that will soon stare

us in the face.A 330-page report Climate

Vulnerability Monitor: A Guide to the Cold Calculus of a Hot

Planet was carried out by the DARA Group, a non-gov-ernmental organi-zation in Europe and the Climate Vulnerable Forum. Twenty govern-ments commis-sioned the report which was written by over 50 scien-tists.

They stated that global warm-ing is already costing the world $1.2 trillion a year which trans-lates to a loss of 1.6 per cent of the world’s GDP. By 2030 that loss could rise to 3.2 per cent of global GDP with third world countries potentially bearing the brunt at a

forecasted loss of 11 per cent of their GDP.

A recent commentary in the journal Nature on the economic impacts of a melting circumpolar Arctic puts the future in grim perspective. Countries with Arctic territories might see the region as the next great thing for oil (13 per cent of the world’s undiscov-ered supply), gas (30 per cent of the world’s undiscovered supply) and open shipping lanes. Figures floated for resource investment are in the $100 billion range.

But the calculated cost of melt-ing permafrost alone, which will release massive amounts of meth-ane into the atmosphere, could spew a price tag of $60 trillion, just $10 trillion short of last year’s global $70 trillion economy. With melting ice driving up sea levels and greenhouse gases spiking temperatures, functioning Earth

systems will power more extreme storms, droughts, floods and fires.

“What is really frightening is the melting permafrost,” said David Phillips, senior climatolo-gist with Environment Canada. “There was a new RCMP building built in Iqaluit and it’s already sinking into the ground because of the permafrost. We haven’t seen anything yet but wait until the permafrost releases all that meth-ane. It will be runaway warming. Corporations are beginning to talk about climate change in the board rooms. The jury is already in that the climate is warming.”

A report in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences on the expert credibility in climate change confirmed that, among peer-reviewed climate scien-tists and researchers worldwide, almost 98 per cent agree that the world is warming and that

human-caused greenhouse gases are largely to blame.

“The world is becoming more dangerous to live in because of climate change,” said Phillips. “We are not getting new weather. What is happening is that nature is twitching it up a notch making storms stronger, more intense. An increase of 25 per cent in a storm’s intensity increases the damage six-fold. We are seeing storms that are more intense and more frequent. Last year, Saskatchewan had 33 tornadoes. That’s more than Oklahoma! But we have crumbling infrastructure built for the past, not the future.”

The rapidly melting Arctic is an economic time bomb, a massive wake-up call for all governments to get up to speed not only with mitigation but help people adapt to what is to come.

The mounting price tag of a warming climateLOCALLY GLOBAL

Investment in the futureAt the risk of letting our pride show, last week’s announcement that

Chilliwack has cracked the Top 10 list of investment-friendly cities in B.C. comes as no surprise. (See story, front page.)

What’s curious is that it took this long.Economic stability, affordability, tax incentives, and a promising future all

combined to rank Chilliwack eighth in the province, according to the Real Estate Investment Network, described as ‘Canada’s leading resource center for real estate investors’.

The city had been on the association’s radar before, but this is the first time it has cracked the Top 10.

It comes as economies are still clawing their way out of the fiscal morass spawned by the global economic meltdown of 2008.

Chilliwack was not immune, but it did fare better than most cities thanks to the health and vibrancy of its agriculture sector.

That, combined with thoughtful planning and a business friendly attitude, has helped Chilliwack continue to move forward while other cities sat stag-nant.

Certainly more work needs to be done, particularly in the downtown where the pace of redevelopment is seen by many as glacial.

But as Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz points out, being named as one of the Top 10 cities for investment is something Chilliwack can build on. It’s the kind of independent endorsement that can get investors looking to Chilliwack as the city works to reshape its downtown core.

And there’s lots they will find. Aside from investment incentives downtown, there are also incentives for development in the city’s industrial properties.

Chilliwack’s retail landscape, meanwhile, continues to evolve, with sub-stantial redevelopment taking place at Cottonwood Mall and the continued build-out at Eagle Landing.

Residential construction continues in several quarters. And the recently announced expansion of the agriculture department the UFV campus at Canada Education Park is further evidence of sustained growth in education.

What this means for Chilliwack is a more stable and diversified local economy.

And that’s something all of us have an investment in.~ Greg Knill, Chilliwack Progress

Register your opinion online at: www.theprogress.com

It’s summer. That means peo-ple will be out and about commut-ing. Vehicles everywhere, pedes-trians everywhere. However, I want to remind everyone about bicycles.

As the gas prices have risen, I have taken up biking to work and around town for the sum-mer. While it’s cheaper, I also find it’s quite dangerous as other vehicles don’t respect, or sim-ply don’t know the rules, that bicycles follow.

Please understand that bicy-cles are technically a vehicle and

can ride on the roads. To main-tain our safety, we are allowed to ride up to a meter away from the curb to keep people from trying to pass us in the same lane. We do this because if we get too close to the curb, if a vehicle tries to pass us, we may fall off the edge or run into the curb.

When making left turns, we will signal and get into traffic. We will take the turn with the other vehicles who are also making a left turn (in a line, of course). We will watch to make sure we aren’t pulling in at an unsafe distance,

but we will pull in, so please do a favour and watch for us, too.

If it’s dark, and two bikers are biking, we are able to take up a whole lane. We will have lights, so please pass us as you would any other vehicle.

It is about safety. Please watch for us bikers! We want to share the roads with you.

Please visit http://www.icbc.com/news/2011may26-04 for an ICBC notice on helping keep bicycle riders safe (for vehicle drivers and bicyclists).

Share the road with cyclists

The one that didn’t get awayCall it luck. Call it

Karma. Call it whatever you like. To me, it was a simple act of kindness and honesty.

We were on our way to Arrow Lakes for a week of camping, fish-ing, and all the other activities, in our rented motor home when one

of the compartment locks vibrated open and the tackle box took an unexpected leave of absence. So much for fishing!

Last Sunday, Gary “Woody” Woodworth of Chilliwack phoned our son in Mission, whose fishing licence was in

the tackle box, to tell him that he picked up the tackle box on the side of the road out-side of Vernon. This box contained perhaps $200 or more of tackle. Woody could have kept it, but he chose to con-tact the owner instead.

Many thanks to

Woody for his display of honesty and kind-ness for returning this. It certainly enforces my belief in the spiritual connection of mortal humans.

Kudos, Woody, good on you!

Re: “Gravel removal ‘a win-win’ (Progress letters, July 23)

Adding to Ed Monro’s letter of July 23, 2013 one might also appreciate that the question of whether to remove gravel from the Fraser River bed is of two parts:

1) Mr. Monro ably discussed the general removal which is a critical issue.

2) Targeted removal – which is the removal of gravel in order

to correct or modify the flow in one section of river. An example of this is the erosion of Island 22 which is caused by river flow directed against the river bank along Island 22. The river flow is directed by the river bed upstream and across the river. Removal of a gravel bar or por-tion thereof in order to reduce erosion is an obviously valid technique in river management and needs to be considered as a

separate issue from that of gen-eral removal.

Any four-year-old playing in a puddle will explain this effect.

It might be that a catastroph-ic flooding of Chilliwack and/or Agassiz would cause some degree of environmental dam-age? This does not seem to be appreciated by the gravel remov-al detractors.

It’s blueberry season once again. I was reading the label on a large carton of blueberries say-ing “Product of Canada”, but the product (berries) were from Salinas, California. I didn’t buy them. Please support our Canadian farmers and insist on Canadian produce where possible. (I notice that the same can also apply to tomatoes lately.)

Carol CurryChilliwack, BC

Re: Where’s the ‘thank you’ here? (Progress July 18th).

It’s true. I think we as Canadians are so caught up in our own lives that we forget to thank the people who put their own lives on the line for us. It’s sad to say; we probably think it many times, but are too busy to say it out loud.

Please allow me to do just that.

To all the police officers,

firefighters and all members of the other emergency ser-vices active or retired, thank you so much, you are very much appreciated I can tell you.

To (Ret) Cpl. Al Hartman, If I could, I would shake your hand too sir, believe me.

Thank you.

This is Part 3 in a series about donating blood and Canadian Blood Services. Read Parts 1 and 2 online at theprogress.com/community

Jenna HauckThe Progress

Thanks to Chilliwack blood donors, the goal for the In Memory of Penny Lett blood drive has been surpassed.

As of July 12 (the second of five clinics for the two-month long blood drive) a total of 160 units of blood had been donated and more than 100 people signed up to be part of the ‘Penny’ team with Canadian Blood Services’ Partners For Life program. The goal was to collect 125 units in 2013 to honour the former Progressreporter’s 125 blood dona-tions.

But what happens with all that blood? It doesn’t sim-ply go directly from you to a hospital, and get pumped into a patient in need. It’s much more complex and safer than that.

When blood dona-tions come into the CBS Vancouver location, they are put in quarantine and a sam-ple is sent to Calgary to test for viral markers like hepati-tis, West Nile, and HIV, plus infections, and the donor’s blood type.

No matter how many times someone has donated, even if they’re making their 100th donation and noth-ing has changed since their first one, every single unit of blood goes through the same rigorous testing each time.

After it has passed all of the tests, the blood is released to hospitals within 48 hours from when was collected. CBS services 84 hospitals across B.C. and the Yukon. To get there, the blood travels by bus, taxi, courier, plane, air ambulance, and ferry.

Before it can be sent to

patients in hospitals, the staff at CBS Vancouver has to prepare the blood for use. They work around the clock, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to get donations out the door as quickly as pos-sible.

The majority of the blood collected is known as ‘whole blood’ donations, meaning they contain red blood cells, plasma, and platelets which contain white blood cells. All mobile clinics, like the ones that pull into Chilliwack, only collect units of whole blood.

Once the whole blood

arrives in Vancouver, it is placed into a centrifuge.

Like an amusement ride, the machine rapidly spins the blood around in circles, separating the three compo-nents of the blood.

The end result is a blood bag containing a three-layered product, similar to when oil sits atop vinegar. The plasma, making up 55 per cent of whole blood, sits at the top. The red cells make up 45 per cent and they fall to the bottom. Making up less than one per cent of whole blood are the platelets and white blood cells which

create a thin layer between the plasma and red blood cells.

From there, the blood is put through an extraction machine which separates each component from one blood bag into different bags. The red blood cells still contain some white blood cells, which then have to be filtered out.

Blood donations must be used within five days.

“There’s never going to be enough blood because it can expire. The sooner we can use the blood, the better,” says Marcelo Dominguez,

communications specialist with CBS.

Each component of whole blood has a different shelf life. Platelets are only good for five days after collection, red cells for 42 days, and plasma can last for up to one year if frozen at -25 degrees Celsius or colder.

CBS also takes donations of just platelets, because of its short shelf life.

Donating platelets is a longer process than donat-ing whole blood — it takes approximately two hours, about twice as long as whole blood. The screening is also

more stringent, and in B.C., you can only donate platelets by going to the Vancouver CBS clinic.

On the plus side, people can donate more frequently every 14 days (unlike every 56 days for whole blood), and the setup for the donor is more comfortable with bigger chairs and personal TVs.

It takes four platelet dona-tions from whole blood to create one ‘platelet pool’ which makes up a complete platelet donation.

What happens to your blood after donating?

economy, but as one of the Top 10 cities for investment it gives me fresh hope and excitement for the downtown,” said Gaetz.

There are lots of skeptics on this score, however.

“I understand the skepticism,” she says. “Look how long it’s been since Eaton’s left. A kind of disheart-ened attitude started to emerge as people watched the decline of some parts of the Downtown. It was hard watching the Empress come down, and then The Paramount. People want to make sure the future looks brighter, and it does.”

City officials have made a point of saying Chilliwack is “open for business,” in recent decades, but it’s gratifying to have it recognized, by REIN and future investors seek-ing cities for investment.

The four business parks and tax exemptions for industry didn’t go unnoticed by the study authors, nor did the fact that Chilliwack is home to one quarter of the prov-ince’s farm operations, with an esti-mated 900 farms. Its proximity to Vancouver, the Interior and the U.S. are a big draw for some busi-nesses seeking to relocate.

The average commute for a Chilliwack resident is only about six kilometres.

It also helps that Chilliwack is increasingly the place in the Lower Mainland that most people are moving to.

“We’re noted for having the larg-est net migration into Chilliwack of all the cities.”

What the report also points out is that people are moving to Chilliwack from other parts of B.C. because housing is half the price of a house in Vancouver, and about 30 per cent less than that in Abbotsford.

“It’s great to see that investors are recognizing the potential and payoffs of investment in our city,” said Gaetz.

It’s not by accident.“CEPCO has done an excel-

lent job in business attraction and retention and marketing the city to investors,” she said. “They are truly partners in guiding the eco-nomic growth of our city.”

Chilliwack Economic Partners Corporation president John Jansen said the credit for Chilliwack mak-ing it on the REIN list should go to the planning and partnerships Chilliwack has been involved in with its stakeholders.

“We’ve worked hard with indus-try, with downtown businesses, and with tourism so Chilliwack can present the most attractive option for investors,” he said. “We have such a livable city, with only a small number of the population working outside of the community.”

He points to the transit system expansion, more skills training at Chilliwack Education Park, and recreation choices, which all put Chilliwack above the rest.

“It truly is a fabulous place,” he said. “These are the things that make us unique.”

For REIN the recent growth is duly noted.

“REIN believes the major expan-sion of commercial and industrial lands along Highway 1 and the Evans Road Corridor will further shine a light on Chilliwack’s poten-tial in the eyes of potential home-owners and business owners,” reads the REIN study release.

Melanie Reuter, REIN’s direc-tor of research, said rents are just starting to come up to the point where it makes sense and investors can break even or make money.

Another factor is jobs.“The GDP in Chilliwack is great.

That’s the bottom line. So if a com-munity can provide jobs, coupled with affordable housing, it’s a homerun,” Reuter said. “If there’s nowhere for people to work, it doesn’t matter how low the real estate prices are.”

City policies, like those offering incentives to develop, make a dif-ference.

“Mayor Gaetz has a done a good job bringing jobs to Chilliwack.”

And the other thing is a shorter commute, for those who do travel outside the city for work.

“You’re that much closer because traffic is so much better since the Port Mann bridge project and the highway.”

Chilliwack gets nod for investment climateINVESTMENT from Front

On average, the CBS Vancouver clinic pro-cesses 500 to 600 dona-tions of whole blood a day.

Although the entire process, from the writ-ten and verbal ques-tions when donating, to the thorough testing of the blood itself may seem bureaucratic and lengthy to some donors, it is necessary.

“We need to have restrictions on donors in order to maintain public trust because it took so long to build up that trust after the tainted blood scandal,” says Dominguez.

He’s referring to the Krever Commission of 1993 — a public inquiry into the use of contami-nated blood in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Thousands of people in Canada were infected with HIV and hepatitis C during that time, from donated blood that had not been properly screened. The majority of blood came from the Canadian Red Cross Society.

At that time, “our system went through one of the worst crises” in Canada’s health care system, says Dominguez.

Canadian Blood Services was estab-lished in 1998 as an

outcome of the Krever Commission. For the past 15 years they’ve been collecting and pre-paring blood on a daily basis, and helping save the lives of others.

The next chance for you to help save a life is Monday, Aug. 5 in Chilliwack. The mobile clinic will be at Broadway Church (46611 Maple Ave.) from 1:30 to 7:30 p.m. There are still several spots open to donate that day as it is B.C. Day. You must call 1-888-2-DONATE to make an appointment.

Additionally, if you want your donation to count towards the In Memory of Penny Lett blood drive, sign up to be part of the Partners For Life ‘Penny’ team by going to www.blood.ca/partnersforlife. The Partner ID number for the Penny Team is INME013882.

Some of the best microbreweries in the province will be tak-ing centre stage in Chilliwack this fall.

The Fraser Valley Culture & Craft Beer Festival will be a key fundraiser for arts and crafts programs at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Saturday, Nov. 30.

“Over the last several years, craft brewing has become the fast-est growing beer seg-

ment in Canada,” said event spokesperson KellyAnne Trebrinke.

For the first time, craft brewers will come together in Chilliwack to celebrate the type of beer that is creating rather than following trends.

Festival sponsor Brad Stuart of District Public House is proud to throw his support behind such a unique event.

“Our vision for the festival is to show everyone in Chilliwack and the Fraser Valley the incredible variety and quality of craft beer here in B.C.,” he said.

Several craft brew-ers, or microbreweries like Chilliwack’s own Old Yale Brewing will be in attendance at the fest alongside: Coal

Chilliwack hospital or RCMP custody, there are no outreach mental health workers to follow-up, to check on people at home. To make sure they’re get-ting the medication and support they need to be healthy.

“I think they are overloaded with all their clients,” said Bo

of case workers at Chilliwack’s only men-tal health office, where a handful of workers handle 800 to 900 cli-ents. “They can’t keep track of everybody. People go missing in this town.”

Bo himself has sever-al different case work-ers that he sees for a few minutes biweekly at the office. Other than that, he does not have free access to a

therapist or counsellor, somebody he could talk to regularly about how he is managing his life.

His dad Barry believes that people who are diagnosed should be registered with the hospital and the RCMP.

Barry is 68 years old now, and figures he has another decade in him to care for his son. He warns Bo that soon he will have to manage his own housing and food. But Bo hasn’t worked for about a decade, and doesn’t pay for any-thing essential except for a small portion of rent. Living in his dad’s basement, he has kept out of trouble, and has not come into contact with the police.

As someone who insists he isn’t sick, Bo would need close supervision to make sure he remains all right.

Although progress is slow, Chilliwack is gain-ing strides in improving services for the men-tally ill. The Village, a supportive housing complex, opened 22 adult suites in 2011. Cheamview Clubhouse continues to strengthen the community through

a host of programs and activities to help people recover their mental health. The RCMP’s social chronic offender program is the first concrete link between police and community services for the men-tally ill.

Opening in September is the Health and Housing Contact Centre, which will bring together Fraser Health medical staff, community social services, and 22 tran-sitional housing apart-ments under one roof.

There is a consensus in the mental health community that provid-ing the support that people need to control their symptoms and live full lives is more effective, and less expensive, than treat-ing them during crises. Affordable housing, an understanding employer, and strong social networks all help to keep people off the streets, off drugs, and away from the correctional system in Chilliwack.

The Valley Huskers were demolished in their 2013 BC Football Conference opener, losing 65-10 on the road in Kelowna.

The Huskers and Sun squared off Saturday at the Apple Bowl, and the visitors got off to a solid start.

Through one quar-ter, the Huskers held an edge in possession time that translated to a 7-0 edge on the scoreboard.

Danton Nagorski, owner of one of the great names in foot-ball, got the Husker touchdown on a 15 yard run.

His score capped off an impressive 19 play drive that includ-ed four third down conversions.

But things fell to pieces in the second quarter as the Sun

put 37 points on the board.

They added two TDs apiece in the third and fourth quar-ters, scoring in just about every way imag-inable.

Alex Bradley and Dillon Fortune col-lected rushing majors.

Jesse Dendall, Tommy Howes and Thomas Huber reeled in TD passes from Sun quarterbacks Cam Bedore (two) and Theo Deezar (three).

Landon King, with a 30-yard return of a blocked punt, and Robbie Yochim, with a 10-yard interception return, scored the Sun’s other majors.

The Huskers got three points on a 36 yard Dan Erickson field goal.

The Huskers have

their home opener Saturday against the Kamloops Broncos, the only team they beat last year.

Game time is 1 p.m. at Townsend Park and tickets are $10 at the gate.

This game will include a special on-field tribute to for-mer Husker Kyle ‘Sunshine’ Osterlund, who passed away unexpectedly before last season.

DJ Rockadile is performing before the game, and as Evolution Dance Studio performs at half time.

Everyone’s favou-rite apes, Bongo and Tongo, will be in the stands leading the cheers.

Fastpitch star South Carolina boundThe butterflies

are building for Chillwack’s Jessica Wurtz, who leaves for Florence, South Carolina next week.

Reality is setting in for the fastpitch soft-ball star, who will soon be living and studying miles and miles and miles and miles from home at Florence Darlington Technical College.

“I don’t know much about it, other than it’s really, really hot and really, really muggy,” Wurtz said before a Monday morning workout with Shawn Corness at the Chilliwack-based Batter’s Box Baseball Academy. “I’ll be liv-

ing a half-hour away from the coast (Myrtle Beach), so that’ll be cool.”

Wurtz is flying out Tuesday, accompanied by her mom. The Sardis s e c o n d a r y school grad has spent the last few days saying good-bye to friends and family, and admits to being more nervous than excited.

“But I have two roommates that I’m getting to know, one from South Carolina and one from Louisiana,” Wurtz said. “Their names are Whitney and Haley,

and I’ve been Skyping with them a bit.”

If she knows little of South Carolina, her roommates-to-be know little of Canada.

“Some of their ques-tions have been interest-ing, like, ‘Do you guys play baseball in big indoor dia-monds because it snows so much?’” Wurtz laughed, add-ing a facepalm for emphasis.

Wurtz will pitch and play outfield for the Tech Stingers, who play in the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA).

She’ll be the only Canadian on the roster, and she expects a big adjustment.

“Balancing athletics and academics will be tough, and I’ve strug-gled a bit with that in the past,” said Wurtz, who will study nurs-ing. “But I think it will be nice to be at a small school (10,000ish pop-ulation) that places a high priority on aca-demics.”

Get info on the Stingers at stingerath-letics.com

Wurtz is also the first girl to get a schol-arship through work at the Batters’s Box acad-emy.

With a 15-0 win over the Aldergrove Her-ricanes on Sunday, Chilliwack’s bantam baseball Cougars finished their summer season undefeated at 11-0-1. Pitcher Carter Bogart threw a complete-game shutout. With the win, the Cougars nabbed sole possession of first place among the 13 bantam A teams in the Fraser Valley zone. They now head into provincials as favourites, with the tournament taking place July 31-Aug. 4 in Aldergrove.

Chilliwack’s U-21 Pacific Coast Soccer League men saw their season end with a loss at the Challenge Cup tournament.

The league’s top four teams gathered Saturday at Coquitlam Centre Park, squaring off in a pair of semi-final matches.

Chilliwack, the third place regular season team at 6-3-5, matched up against the sec-ond place Penticton Pinnacles (7-2-5).

The teams traded chances throughout the first half, but Penticton got the only goal.

Leading 1-0 at the break, the Pinnacles

added another early in the second half.

Chilliwack pushed and pushed, trying desperately to put one past the Pinnacle keep-er. But they came up empty, and Penticton added two late goals to make the final 4-0.

Penticton went on to defeat the Abbotsford

Mariners 4-2 in Sunday’s championship game.

The end result doesn’t mar a season that saw Chilliwack lose just twice in their last 13 games. The locals made the playoffs for the sec-ond year in a row, post-ing their best record since 2008.

PCSL men fall to Penticton in Challenge Cup semi-final

Chilliwack native Ryan Bowen is going where few local minor hockey products have gone before.

The teenager is one of 16 forwards short-listed by Hockey BC for a potential roster spot on Team BC.

If successful, Bowen

would represent this province at the 2013 Western Canada U-16 Challenge Cup, taking place Oct. 30 to Nov. 4 at the Father David Bauer Arena in Calgary, AB.

Team BC captured gold last year with a decisive 9-3 victory over

Team Alberta. Team BC finished the round-robin play with a per-fect 3-0 record before advancing to the cham-pionship game.

With lofty standards, Bowen be under the microscope in the inter-im. He and his peers will be evaluated by the

Team BC coaching staff over the course of the hockey season, with the final roster being announced in October.

Bowen spent last sea-son with the Okanagan Hockey Academy’s top-level midget prep team.

He’s been invited to training camp with

the BCHL Chilliwack Chiefs in three weeks, and will head to rookie camp with the Western Hockey League’s Moose Jaw Warriors soon after.

Bowen was picked 94th overall by the Warriors in last spring’s WHL bantam draft.
