Winter hit Chilliwack hard this week leading to roadclosures, power outages, class cancellations andsome serious expenses at city hall.
Since Friday night when the snow began, the city’s 10 plow/sanders, four graders and four backhoes have been workingstraight 12-hour shifts, which cost between$27,000 and $31,000 per shift, according tocity spokesperson Starlee Renton.
That means the first 12 shifts up to Thurs-day at noon, cost the city a minimum of$324,000, which doesn’t include contractorshired to help out.
The biggest expense for a snow eventsuch as this is the salt/sand mixture, ofwhich approximately 3,000 tonnes has beenlaid down since Friday.
But even with all the snow, the city’s $900,000 snow and icecontrol budget for 2012 should be enough.
Total snowfall for Monday was 28.8 cm, and total accumula-tion for January as ofWednesday morning was 68.2 cm, accor-ding to Roger Pannett, Chilliwack’s volunteer weather observerfor Environment Canada.

The Chilliwack school districtdrew criticism for keepingschools open despite extremeweather conditions and power
outages Wednesday and then for revers-ing its decision and closing schools atnoon.
“Chilliwack School District needs toget their act together!” posted one angrymom on Twitter.
Superintendent Michael Audet madethe call to keep schools open by 5:15a.m., but said he was surprised by dete-riorating weather conditions, includingnear white-out conditions and driftingsnow, as the morning progressed.
His decision was criticized on Twitterby parents, teachers and even one citycouncillor.
“It is ridiculous that they didn’t closethe schools today!” tweeted Coun. JasonLum.
“I’m wondering who drove the roadsin Chilliwack this morning and decidedthat the schools should be open,” postedChilliwack teacher Jennifer Thiessen.
School closures are ultimately thesuperintendent’s call, but Audet said thedecision is made in consultation with
other staff.“We have people that travel the roads,
we have a bus manager who checks allthe routes, we have our facilities manag-er who checks all the sites to see if we canget into buildings, if there’s heat in build-ings. We have people go up to the high-est bus route and asked, ‘Can a bus makeit up here?,’ and thenthey make a decisionand phone the super-intendent.”
After the districtannounced it waskeeping schools openearly Wednesday, thesituation was compli-cated by wind-related power outagesthat left about 8,000 Chilliwack residentsin the dark and knocked out power to anumber of south side schools.
Even before the district announcedit was shutting schools down at noon,attendance at G.W. Graham middle sec-ondary, where power was out until 8:05a.m., was down by more than half.
“It’s a very trying day to say the least,”
said principal Todd McLean Wednesdaymorning.
At Sardis secondary power wasn’trestored until 9:45 a.m. and only about15 per cent of the student populationstuck around, according to principalDiego Testa.
“It’s just kind of a goofy series of inci-dences that I think hasled to not a very pro-ductive day,” he said.“It’s unfortunate, buthere we are.”
Schools were shutdown for the after-noon, but a handful ofbusing students were
stuck at schools around the city until reg-ularly scheduled pickup times.
The district tries to err on the side ofcaution when deciding to shut downschools in extreme weather, according toAudet, but he said ultimately the safety ofstudents walking to school is the parent’sresponsibility. “Kids are not going to bepenalized if they don’t come to school.It’s the parent’s choice.”

With more snow fallingWednesday and forecast forThursday, the record Janua-ry accumulation of 74 cm in2002 will likely fall.
The temperature reached alow of -13.7 C overnight andthe wind continued to causehavoc on the roads.
Overnight Tuesday, extremecold conditions with windchills dropped to the -25 C to-30 C range.
That -13.7 C was the coldestJanuary temperature in Chilli-wack since the low of -15.6 Con Jan. 29, 1969, according toPannett.
The high winds were notonly adding to the wind chill,but also to problems for cityplows as drifting was occur-ring on some major roads.
Renton said people hadabandoned cars on bothPrest and Evans roads, whichcaused havoc for the plowswho couldn’t pass until towtrucks showed up.
All schools were initiallyopen in School District No.33 on Wednesday, but aftermuch confusion, studentswere sent home at noon.
Approximately 8,000 cus-tomers in Sardis were tem-porarily without power earlyWednesday, but most outageshad been restored by 10 a.m.
By 1 p.m. on Wednesday,Chilliwack River, Prest, SouthSumas andVedder roads wereall closed. Evans Road wasopen, although drifting snowwas a problem.
Bailey Landfill and ParrRoad Green Depot wereclosed, and curbside garbagepickup was cancelled. Anyhomeowners who miss curb-side garbage pickup can puttwice as much out next week,according to city hall.
Public works have a fewrequests for residents becau-se of the large amounts ofsnow, including: don’t shovelsnow onto roadways, removevehicles from the street wherepossible, and remove snowfrom catchbasins.

The Transportation Safety Board ofCanada (TSB) said it would deploy ateam Wednesday to investigate the crash.The TSB said in a release it “will gatherinformation and assess the occurrence.”
The BC Coroners Service is alsoinvestigating the cause of death.
“If we can identify safety issues that canbe fixed, we will make those public so wecan mitigate that risk in the future,” TSBspokesman Bill Yearwood said.

The BC Conservative can-didate in the forthcom-ing provincial byelection
in Chilliwack-Hope respondedto criticisms of the party and itspeople made by former Conser-vative MP Chuck Strahl.
Provincially, Strahl has alignedhimself with the BC Liberals andwas even involved with gettinghis former chief of staff, LaurieThroness, to vie for the Liberalnomination in Chilliwack-Hope.
In an interview with the Globe
and Mail, Strahl said the BCCP isfull of “cranky . . . angry” peoplewithout credible policies.
“Either you rally around theLiberals or you’re going to havethe NDP,” Strahl told the Globe.
When asked about the com-ments, John Martin, the soon-to-be-acclaimed BCCP candidatefor Chilliwack-Hope, said he dis-agreed with Strahl and called theinsults “recycled.”
“We are presenting the peopleof B.C. with a real choice,” Martintold the Times in an email state-ment. “Both the Liberals andNDP support policies that makelife for ordinary British Columbi-ans more expensive; policies suchas the carbon tax, increased ICBCpremiums, higher MSP rates andincreased BC Hydro bills.
“Mr. Strahl’s comments aresomewhat ironic considering thatwas precisely how the establish-ment repeatedly slandered Chuckand his colleagues in the ReformParty when it was becoming amajor player and shaking up thepolitical landscape. So it’s reallynot surprising the same insults
are being recycled against the BCConservatives.”
Martin was to be acclaimed asthe BCCP candidate at the Jan. 17nomination meeting, which waspostponed due to the weather.That meeting is now scheduledfor Jan. 24 at 7 p.m. at the BestWestern Rainbow Country Inn.

Aformer drug dealer who already served21 months in jail in connection with a$500,000 extortion scheme told Chilli-
wack Supreme Court Wednesday that hisaccused accomplice, and erstwhile cocaineclient, served up his own uncle as the victimof the plot.
Shane Bradley Werner testified Tuesdayin the trial of his accused accomplice who,because of a publication ban, can only beidentified by his initials, A.K.
Werner told Crown counsel Paul Blessinthat the extortion plot was a joint venturebetween himself and A.K.
He said that at the time of the offence, hewas consuming $200 worth of drugs andcocaine every day. To earn enough moneyto sustain his habit, Werner turned to sell-ing drugs. Upon his arrest following a policesting, Werner was found with cocaine, crackcocaine, heroin and ecstasy.
Werner testified that A.K., who ran a MapleRidge gas station, was one of his clients.
He said the pair hatched the plot to extorthalf-a-million dollars from A.K.’s uncle, whooperates several businesses in Chilliwack.
Werner, who says he has been sober fora year and who remains on probation, wasterse on the stand, rarely offering sentencesexceeding a single word.
When Blessin asked who made the deci-
sion to commence the extortion plot, he said:“partly mine.”
“Who else’s decision was it?”A long pause enveloped the court room
before Werner stated the accused’s full name.But under cross-examination, Werner
admitted to defence lawyer Jeffrey Ray thathis heavy drug use at the time, along withthe passage of more than two years since theoffence, has compromised his memory.
“You weren’t able to remember things thatwere going on at that time,” Ray posited.
“Yeah, sometimes,” Werner responded.“A lot of times, I’m going to suggest to you,
you didn’t know what was going on becauseof your drug use, right?”
“Sometimes.”Earlier, Blessin played several wiretepped
conversations in which a man threatens A.K.’suncle and his family with harm unless hepaid $500,000. Werner identified the voice onthe recordings as his own.
But after Ray played two separate conver-sations, Werner said he didn’t “recall hearingthat phone call.”
“The passage of time has eaten at whatmemory you have left of the events of Sep-tember 2009, is that right?” Ray asked.
“I guess so.”Ray then asked Werner about his earlier
testimony, in which he said A.K. provided thephone number, name and details of his uncle.
“You can’t be sure now what information[A.K.] gave you, correct?”
“Not 100 per cent, no,” Werner replied.During his testimony,Werner also told Bles-
sin that—despite what he told his would-bevictim—he did not work for the Hells Angelsand had not been party to similar extortionsin the past.
The trial continues.

With the hustle of the holidays adistant but fond memory, you maybe looking forward to a trip south toavoid the worst of winter. It may bea quick jaunt in search of sun andsand, or an extended visit to savoursome rest and relaxation. Short stopor long stay, there are a few travelinsurance considerations you shouldkeep in mind when preparing foryour trip.
The most important thing toremember is that travel insuranceprotects you againstmany circumstancesthat may not becovered by yourgovernment healthpolicy, and providescoverage in emergencymedical situations. Thatmeans travel insuranceis supplemental toyour provincial healthcare policy, and it doesnot cover your continuing care orcheck-ups. Once the emergency istaken care of, the coverage for thatparticular condition or conditionsrelated to it is ended.
To get the most out of yourtravel insurance policy, you shouldtake care to complete a medicalhealth questionnaire as accuratelyas possible if you are asked tosubmit one. Travel insurance ratesare determined by several factors,including age and health, and anyexisting health condition that is notdeclared will not be covered by yourinsurance or a substantial deductiblemay be imposed. We recommendthat you consult your physician if
you are unsure about any of thehealth conditions or the status ofyour health.
While base policies don’t typicallyprovide coverage for unstablepre-existing health conditions, BCAATravel Insurance offers you theoption to purchase additionalcoverage. In general, if a conditionhas been treated by a physician,or has required a change ofmedication within a certain periodof time (specified in the definitions
of the policy you’reresearching orpurchasing), it will beconsidered unstableand not covered.
Finally, before yougo, always reviewpolicy details to ensureyour coverage meetsyour needs and payparticular attention tothe related definitions
to ensure you have coverage foryour unique situation.
Having the right travel insurance isequally as important as choosing theright vacation destination. Whetheryou’re travelling on a short stop ora long stay, you can relax and focuson enjoying yourself knowing youhave taken care to protect yourself.Purchasing the right travel insurancecoverage from BCAA before you gomight be the best travel accessoryyou bring along on your nextvacation.
Pack some peace-of-mind.

The battle againstcancer is no longerlimited to doctors,nurses, researchers
and care aides.The public has long joined
in the fight: some peopleride bikes; others collectbottles; and some run mar-athons. Men, women andchildren swim, knit and clip(their hair) to battle the killerdisease.
But Norm Rollheizer, wholost a brother and sister tocancer, drives.
Four days a week, the67-year-old retired correc-tions officer picks up cancerpatients in his Toyota Matrixand delivers them to LowerMainland hospitals—mostoften in Abbotsford, but alsoin Surrey and Vancouver.
In 2009, after two decadesof driving taxi in Chilliwack,Rollheizer began wieldinghis keys as one of the Cana-dian Cancer Society’s volun-teer drivers.
The volunteer driver pro-gram—which launched arecruiting drive this week—provides a vital service forcancer patients alreadycoping with a life-alteringdisease and who don’t haveaccess to transportation.
For Rollheizer, who wasnamed the organization’sdriver of the year in Decem-ber, it seemed like an obviousway to lend his professionaltalents to a vital cause.
“It’s a good cause . . . and Ienjoy driving,” said Rollheiz-er, who also worked for 22years as a corrections officer.“Drivingc a b f o rall theseyears andbeing inc o r r e c -tions, youl e a r n t odeal withpeople.
“ T h e yg ot h r o u g hsome dif-ficult times, so you end uptalking to them and tryingto make them feel a little bitbetter,” he said.
Rollheizer often drives thesame patients—some whosecondition improves, otherswhose health does not.
H es p e a k swith emo-tion abouta y o u n gf o u r -y e a r- o l dgir l withleukemiawhom hed r i v e s ,a l o n gwith hermother or
father.“She’s such a little sweet-
heart,” he said. “The firsttime I took her, I found that
hard.” But she has respond-ed well to recent treatments.
“She’s doing much betternow,” he said.
Rollheizer shrugs off otherdifficulties.
“The traffic gets prettyhorrendous at times, butyou learn to live with it.”
And while he enjoys driv-ing cab—which he does asmuch as a hobby as for thepaycheque—Rollheizer saidferrying cancer patientsaround for free has one bigadvantage over his part-timegig: “You don’t have to fightfor the fares,” he says.
Both Rollheizer and AgnesSol, the volunteer driverprogram’s co-ordinator anddispatcher, said the patientsare almost unanimouslygrateful.
“They thank me over andover again,” said Sol, whoalso drives.
“We have clients that can-not get themselves to . . .their treatments,” said Sol.For those people, the pro-gram is a lifeline.
“They are so grateful.”But the volunteer driv-
ers are in need of reinforce-ments. The program hasonly around a dozen localvolunteers. Some of thosedrive every day; others areless available. That meansany help is welcome, espe-cially from drivers in out-lying communities l ikeHarrison Hot Springs andAgassiz.
“Without the drivers, wecouldn’t help the patientswho need treatment,” saidSol.
Donations are also wel-come. While the driversdonate their time and vehi-cles to the cause, the Cana-dian Cancer Society pays forthe drivers’ gas.

It has been said many timesthat there is nothing worsethan a reformed smoker.
Mostly, it’s smokers who say it.But, hey! No matter who says
it, there is nothing more musicalto the ears of a crusty old news-paper editor than to hear thatthere’s nothing worse than him.
Yep. I am a reformed smoker.I gave up the evil weed 36 years
ago.That’s about a half-dozen years
before I could have taken advan-tage of the moral support ofNational Non-Smoking Week. . . which is this week, for the30th time.
When I stopped smoking—after several tries, some lastinga couple of months or more—Irelied on the help of a girlfriend.
She told me something had togo: either the smokes, or her.
I dumped the habit, andtwo weeks later, she dumpedme—and there was no way I wasever going to give her the satisfac-tion of seeing me with a cigarettehanging from my mouth afterthat.
Kicking the cancer sticks worksdifferently for different people.
It’s seldom easy.At 2:30 in the afternoon on Feb.
4, 1976, I tossed into the nearestgarbage can a pack that still hadsix cigarettes in it.
(A friend fished them out, ask-ing if I minded if he took them. Isaid, “No, go ahead, catch cancer,if you like.” He said, “Anyone canquit smoking; it takes a MAN to
face cancer.”)I attribute my success in stop-
ping (not “quitting”: you can’tquit, you can only stop, and hopeit never catches you back) to twothings.
First was my pride. As I notedabove, I wasn’t going to let my“ex” think I was too weak to stayoff the cancer sticks without her.
Second was tossing those sixsmokes in the trash. All my earlierattempts started with me saying,“As soon as this pack is finished. . .”
Chucking those six valuablecigarettes constituted a commit-ment.
No, three things:Third was the escalating cost of
cigarettes. Within a couple of daysof my last smoke, the price hadescalated to a whopping 65 centsfor a pack of 20—three quarters(an astounding 75 cents) to buythem from a vending machine…speaking of which, whatever hap-pened to those vending machinesthat were absolutely everywhere?As I had been smoking a packand a half a day (which increasedevery time I started up again after“quitting”), that was turning intoserious bread for a university
student.No, four things:Fourth was my dad’s pride.
He was so obviously, incrediblyproud of me for breaking thehabit, that I couldn’t have had theheart to let him down.
As a smoker himself, he knewhow difficult stopping can be.
I know some smokers will go“Aha! Your dad’s a smoker, andyou’ve said he’s now 97 years old!How unhealthy can it be, after all,eh?”
Sorry to rain on your smoke,folks, but apart from there beingoccasional anomalies to the sta-tistical reality, dad’s another of usex-smokers. He quit—and there’sa hilarious story to go with that,for another day—way back in the1960s.
And there’s a fifth thing thatkept me from starting up again,despite the intense cravings(and nightmares on the eve ofeach anniversary of my successsince then, nightmares in whichI discover that I’ve been sneak-ing puffs all along). It took aboutsix months to really notice thechange . . . but my general healthhad improved dramatically.
Now there is a lot more help forthose who want to stop smokingthan there was (here comes theold man line!) . . . back in my day.

◗ Bob Groeneveld is the editor ofthe Langley Advance.
Electionban pastdue dateSome laws should be changed
because they should never have beenmade.
Others should be changed because theywere made at a time when they madesense . . . but times change.
The federal ban on reporting electionresults while polls remain open in someparts of Canada is a fine example of thelatter.
Under current federal law governingfederal general elections, it is illegal toreport ballot counts, party standings, win-ners and losers . . . anything that could beconstrued as “election results” from east-ern Canada until after the polls close inBritish Columbia.
It makes sense, because the results ofeastern voters’ choices could colour deci-sion-making by western voters—knowingwhat the other guys did could be con-strued as an advantage for the west (or adisadvantage, for purists who feel votersshould make their decisions based on per-sonal choices, rather than responding to apack mentality).
It should simply be a question of fair-ness for all voters.
But it’s not. The problem is timing;it’s about time zones. Polling times arealready delayed in the east and moved upin the west, to try and synchronize votingperiods. But Canada is a big country, andyou can push that solution only so far.Consequently, there still is a lag betweenpoll hours on opposite coasts.
While “legitimate” news media in Canadaare forced to adhere to the ban, internation-al news sources, especially some radio sta-tions in the United States that traditionallycapitalized on the Canadian ban, were notbound by any such rules, and slipped elec-tion results to B.C. in time for voters here totake the information to the polling booths.
And now the realities of Facebook, Twit-ter, other social media, and even virtuallyinstantaneous email and the simplicity oftexting have rendered the ban completelyobsolete.
This is one thing the “Harper Govern-ment” is doing right.

Editor:In preparation for the
provincial election on 2013,Christy Clark and the BC“Liberals” are obviously strat-egizing and preparing fortheir confrontation with theNDP. Their attack ads againstAdrian Dix shows that theyare desperate and are willingto utilize outright lies to settheir agenda.
I put quotation marksaround the word “Liberal,”because we all know that theyare not liberals in any sense ofthe word.
They are but a dog’s break-fast—a coalition of Reform-ers, Socreds, Conservativesand a smattering of formerLiberals that joined togetherin order to defeat the NDP.
Clark herself has a strategyto “out conservative” the Con-servatives themselves in thefaint hope that they can con-tinue this “anything but theNDP” strategy that worked sowell in 2001. I don’t think thatthe people will be so fooledthis time around.
Clark has hired the formersenior advisor to StephenHarper, Ken Boessenkool asher chief of staff and the for-mer Reform advisor, DimitriPantazopoulos remains onher office staff.
At the local level here inChilliwack, Clark has chosenChuck Strahl’s former stafferto run as the BC Liberal can-didate in the upcoming pro-vincial by-election.
Clark is obviously hoping totie into that perceived Con-servative vote in the upperFraser Canyon and, hopefullyfor her, lay the groundworkfor a Conservative vote in2013. The new BC Conserva-tive Party may have some-thing to say about that one.
These incidents illustratewhat I have been saying formany, many years—thatthere are no fundamentaldifferences between the“Conservative” or “Liberal”parties in B.C., that they bothare controlled, lock, stock andbarrel by the corporate sec-tor. Many corporations givelarge chunks of monies toboth parties, while the NDPreceives relatively little mon-ies from union donations.
It is long overdue that morepeople accepted the realitythat, while the BC Liberalsand Conservatives are themouthpieces of corporateB.C., the NDP is working tire-lessly for the common work-ing person, whether she/hebe an hourly wage earner, a
nurse, a teacher, a fireman,a farmer or a small businessperson.
Meanwhile, we can sit backand watch the ridiculousattack ads that, hopefully, allintelligent British Columbi-ans will recognize them forwhat they are—a distortion ofthe reality.

An angel walksamongst usEditor:
Recently, we went to gro-cery shopping at PriceSmartas we have done daily forsome 20 years now.
My elderly husband pickedup a basket, offered me hisarm and with cane in myright hand we started downthe aisles.When we had ourlist completed my husbandchose the most likely check-out counter, began loadingour groceries on the belt.Turning to me he said:
“We forgot the whippingcream! Hurry up and run andget it!”
Run indeed! At 90 years ofage I cannot hurry and run isout of the question. After halfa dozen steps an angel wasbeside me, offering her armand said that she would helpme. As we “hurried” I told herthat I wanted to bake someMartha Stewart scones andneeded the cream. She askedme my name. I told her it isGladys. She said her namewas Catharine or was it Kath-leen, I’m not sure.
As she opened the creamcabinet she said she wouldnow run with it. I made myway to the end of the aisle,turned on the main drag andsaw her waving her arms atthe end of the right checkout.She made it.
Now she walked backtowards me, interruptedmy grateful thank you’s and
hugged me.What a won-derful girl. I want everyoneto know that a very kindand thoughtful angel walksamongst us.

‘Snail’ stole theshow for himEditor:
With the production ofA Year With Frog and Toadthe Chilliwack School ofPerforming Arts has done itagain.
We saw the final full dressrehearsal last Thursday nightand it was wonderful. Thisis a very large, very complexproduction with a very largecast of very talented youngpeople between the ages of12 and 17.
“Snail” stole the show forme. I haven’t laughed so hardin years. I didn’t think it waspossible for a human beingto “snail walk” that slowly.
The young actresses whoplayed “Frog” and “Toad”were outstanding. Thesewere demanding roles andthe singing, dancing andgymnastics were simply out-standing.
I shouldn’t single out indi-viduals in this production asthey were all extremely good.
The set itself was a workof art and an engineeringmiracle. It was worth theprice of admission just to seethe set. The costume designswere so appropriate to thetheme and contributed in ameaningful way to the over-all wonder of the play. I wasalso quite impressed with thespecial effects which werehandled so well.
The play is running at theChilliwack Cultural Centreuntil Jan. 22. This is a pro-duction well worth seeingand is fun for all ages.

Local Mounties took the keysaway from dozens of impaireddrivers in December during
their annual Counter Attack project.A total of 33 driving prohibitions
were handed out during the month.Six of those drivers were charged incourt with impaired driving.
Eight people were handed 90-daydriving prohibitions for blowingover .08. Anther five were handedimmediate roadside prohibitions ofthree days.
A total of 14 24-hour prohibi-tions were handed out, but notall for being drunk. Eight peoplewere banned from driving for a daybecause of alcohol, but the other sixwere handed a prohibition for drugs.
“Overall, I think we were effec-tive out there,” said Cpl. Lee Dyson.“Taking impaired drivers off the roadis not just a December project, it isan ongoing mandate and one that istaken very seriously.”
While RCMP spokesperson Const.Tracy Wolbeck said the numbersshow that police are effective inremoving drunks from the roads,she said it’s still disturbing that peo-
ple are drinking and driving.“The numbers definitely reflect
that we are taking these people offthe roads and potentially prevent-ing accidents or even fatalities,” saidWolbeck. “The ultimate goal wouldbe to have a Counter Attack yearwhere we saw no alcohol relatedcharges or violation tickets issued.There would be no measure of suc-cess greater than that.”

“We were in the game,” said Grizzlies coachJake Mouritzen. “We played very well.”
Graham was within three points at the begin-ning of the third thanks to eight quick pointsfrom Lucas Mannes in the last minute of thesecond, but the Grizzlies went on to drop thegame 83-71.
Graham defeated 10th ranked AAA BurnabySouth 74-71 Friday, and pushed the seventh-ranked AAA Kitsilano Blue Demons into over-time Saturday before dropping the game forfifth place 84-70.

Chia seeds (Salvia hispanica L.) were first usedas food as early as 3,500 BC and were one
of the mainstays of the Aztec and the Mayan diets.Chia seeds are so versatile that they were eaten asa grain, consumed as a beverage when mixed withwater, ground into flour, included in medicines,pressed for oil and used as a base for face and bodypaints. Chia was so highly valued for its nutritionaland hydrating properties that it was used as a formof currency.This superseed is the highest-plant based
source of omega-3 (ALA) at 19.3 percent andis naturally rich in soluble fibre, protein andantioxidants.This makes it a great whole food foranyone interested in improving their health andreducing their risk of illness.
What are the benefits of Omega-3 fats?Omega-3 fats are a group of polyunsaturated fats.Beyond reducing the risk of heart disease, omega-3s can reduce the risk of stroke while helping toreduce symptoms of hypertension, depression,attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD),joint pain and other rheumatoid problems, as wellas certain skin ailments. Some research has shownthat omega-3s can boost the immune system andhelp protect from an array of illnesses includingAlzheimer’s disease.Omega-3s also play an important role in
brain functioning. Omega-3 fats are highlyconcentrated in the brain and appear to beimportant for cognitive (brain memory andperformance) and behavioural function.
Why the recent interest in increasing Omega-3?While omega-3s protect our hearts and fightinflammation, omega-6s are now the foundationof our modern food supply. Omega-6 fats competewith omega-3 fats for absorption and have led towidespread omega-3 deficiency. Symptoms of thisdeficiency include poor circulation, poor memory,fatigue, heart problems, mood swings or depression.
While reducing your intake of omega-6s canhelp, getting more omega-3s from food is aneven better way to go. The recommendation is toconsume two3-4ounce servings of fattyfish aweek,but it is suggested that this is not environmentallysustainable. We need to look to plant sources tomeet our global needs. These include chia seedsand flax seeds.

Chia is not just for petsWho knew that the Chia Pet of infomercial fame was actually good for you?As additional information about its health benefits come to light, the chiaseed is positioned to become a mainstream staple
Because of their nutritional value andstability, chia seeds are now beingadded to a range of foods. COBSBread, a Canadian bakery chain, offersfreshly baked white, whole wheat andflax chia seed breads. A large numberof COBS’ customers have switched
from the traditional bread range to thechia bread range since its launch lastJanuary. “People are very interested inupgrading to our CHIA Bread oncethey hear about all its health benefits”says Elise Gillespie, Vice President ofCOBS Bread. “The challenge is gettingthat message out to the general public.”
Ramona Josephson RD applaudsthese breads as exciting, healthyadditions to a daily diet and as apositive step in tackling serious healthconcerns related to heart disease andblood sugar control. Two slices ofCOBS CHIA Bread provide 100%of the daily intake of omega-3 fats
for children and women and 90% formen. They also provide up to 30%of the daily recommended intake ofdietary fibre. “Bread is a staple in somany of our diets and COBS’ newCHIA Breads make it easy to meetour daily needs for these nutrients,”Josephson adds.

The Chiefs are in PrinceGeorge tonight andtomorrow for a pair of
massive games against theteam they are trying to over-take for third place in the Inte-rior Conference standings.
Following the twin bill ver-sus the Kings ,Harvey Smyl’ssquad will return home toface theWestsideWarriors fora rare Sunday game.
For those of you who liketo put on the skates and gofor a wheel, you can join theChiefs players for a skate fol-lowing this Sunday’s game atProspera Centre. Skate rent-als will also be available andgame time is 5 p.m. If you area Chilliwack Minor Hockeyplayer there is still time tocontact Andrea at the Chiefsoffice to receive a special-priced ticket.
Speaking of deals, theChiefs are unveiling a newticket package for all Chilli-wack Chamber of Commercebusiness members that pro-vides them the opportunityto pick up two tickets, twopops and two hotdogs foronly $20. If you are a businessowner and are not a memberof the Chilliwack Chamberof Commerce, now would bethe ideal time to contact Pattior Alyssa at 604-793-4323and sign up. The Chiefs focuswill continue to be basedon creating family-minded
packages with non-alcoholicbeverages to ensure that youand your family will have asafe and enjoyable hockeyexperience.
I can’t provide all of thedetails yet on a certain eventthat the Chiefs are planning,but I can give you a few hints:Chiefs season ticket hold-ers will be invited first; it willtake place at Frankie’s ItalianKitchen; the Chiefs playerscould be involved as waiters;and if you unscramble thesethree words it will give you apossible title—staap ad cpuk.
The Chiefs communityappearances this season willnow include spending qualitytime with some of our seniorsin the area.The Chiefs playersare going to be making regularvisits to the Hampton House,which is a retirement com-munity located on HodginsAvenue near the LandingLeisure Centre. Chiefs presi-dent Glen Ringdal kicked offthe partnership by sharingthe“Chiefs story” with theresidents this past snowyMonday, and this upcoming
Monday the seniors are com-ing for a behind-the-scenestour of Prospera Centre . A lotof credit has to go to Chiefsnetminder Bryton Udy forthis initiative as he came to usbefore Christmas and askedhow he and some of his team-mates could give back to theseniors in our community.One brainstorming sessionwith Rita Dick andTraceyMcDonald from HamptonHouse is all it took to createsome fun-filled activities thatthe Chiefs are thrilled to bepart of.
I came across an interest-ing note online recentlyregarding theVernonVipersand a couple of unexpectedspecial guests popping by towatch BCHL hockey recently.Australian actress Nicole Kid-man and her country musicstar husband Keith Urbantook in a couple periods oftheVipers-Victoria Grizzliesgame. The A-list celebritieswere apparently skiing nearbyduring the day and were look-ing for some entertainmentin the evening.
If you are a twitter persondon’t forget if you follow @chiefs_hockey that you cannow tweet a song requestduring Chiefs games. Chiefsmusic man Kris Abbott willdo his best to get in as manytunes as he can.You can alsofollow me @barrydouglas1.

MATT REMPELRevolution Church
Iam a morning person. I love leaping outof bed as soon as I hear the birds chirp-ing from my cellphone alarm app. Ahnature! I immediately head to the kitch-
en, whistling a happy tune, with a bounce inmy step . . . a bounce like a flat basketball.
If I’m honest, mornings can be a chal-lenge. Especially when six inches of snowcover the whole Fraser Valley floor. Thank-fully, I have a secret weapon that helps dragmy reluctant self out of bed in the morn-ing—coffee.
For me, there is nothing more soothingthan the sound of the gentle percolationand the rich smell of the steam as it spreadsthrough the house.
That first cup of coffee has a way of mak-ing me feel like the day is starting off right.(Don’t worry, I’m not addicted; I just havean uncontrollable dependence on it.) Amorning coffee has just become part of myroutine.
What is the thing you do to start yourday off right? Maybe it’s making breakfast,brushing your teeth or perusing the paper.I have a friend who likes to do Sudoku puz-zles first thing in the morning. To each theirown, I suppose.
Now, being partial to a morning espresso,or whatever your “day starter” happens tobe, is all well and good, but I wonder if weare missing out on something more impor-tant at the start of our day—prayer.
How many of us spend a few moments atthe beginning of our day to simply acknowl-edge the presence of God and ask him forguidance and help? Although I’m not a
betting man, I hazard a guess that most ofus tend to overlook prayer as an importantaspect of our lives.
Perhaps it is because we often can’t seethe immediate results of our prayers; per-haps it is because things are generally goingfine, so why pray? Or perhaps, for some, itis because belief in God is not a part of theirmindset. I can relate to all of these reasons,as I have voiced them myself at certaintimes in my life. However, regardless of thereasons not to pray, I can’t help but thinkthat, more often than not, we human beingscould use some help and guidance in ourlives. So my question is: Do we ask God forhelp? Do we go to him in prayer, or do we tryto make it on our own?
In the Bible, Matthew chapter 14 recordsan amazing account in the lives of Jesusand his disciples. The disciples are in theirboat, stuck in a vicious storm. Jesus walksout on the water, calling out to them thatthey need not be afraid. One of them, Peter,responds, “If it’s really you, tell me to cometo you.” Jesus does so, and Peter steps out onthe water. After a few steps, however, Peterbegins to fear and starts to sink, and it is inthis moment that he prays one of the bestprayers anyone can ever pray: “Lord, saveme.”
Peter asks Jesus for help. Simple, short andsincere. Whether you are a follower of Jesusor not, I propose an experiment: As you startyour day, say a short prayer, asking God forguidance and help. Then let’s go for coffeeand chat about how it went.

By DAVID MORGANSTAFF WRITER
ICC will be placing ads in newspapers, radioand running television spots this week askingpeople to bring in any old silver and goldcoins made before 1968 and U.S. coins madebefore 1970. Those that bring in their coinswill be able to speak with collectors one on oneand have their coins looked at by a specialist.With the help of these ICC members, offers willbe made to those that have coins made before1968. Offers will be made based on silveror gold content and the rarity of the coins. Allcoins made before 1968 will be examined andpurchased including gold coins, silver coins,silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies.Those that decide to sell their coins will be paidon the spot.
If you are like a lot of people you might havea few old coins or even a coffee can full lyingaround. If you have ever wondered what theyare worth now might be your chance to find outand even sell them if you choose. They couldbe worth a lot according to the InternationalCoin Collectors also known as ICC. Collectorswill pay a fortune for some coins and currencyfor their collections. If it is rare enough, onecoin could be worth over $100,000 accordingto Eric Helms, coin collector and ICC member.One ultra rare dime, an 1894S Barber, soldfor a record $1.9 million to a collector in Julyof 2007. While that is an extreme example,many rare and valuable coins are stashedaway in dresser drawers or lock boxes aroundthe country. The ICC and its collector membershave organized a traveling event in search ofall types of coins and currency. Even commoncoins can be worth a significant amount due tothe high price of silver and gold, says Helms.Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes canbe worth many times their face value. Recentsilver markets have driven the price up oncommon coins made of silver. Helms explainsthat all U.S. half dollars, quarters and dimesmade before 1970 contain 90% silver and aresought after any time silver prices rise. Rightnow it’s a sellers market he said.
The rarest coins these collectors are lookingfor include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 goldcoins and any coin made before 1850. Thesecoins always bring big premiums according tothe ICC. Silver dollars are also very soughtafter nowadays.
Other types of items the ICC will bepurchasing during this event include U.S.currency, gold bullion, investment gold, silverbars, silver rounds, proof sets, etc. Even foreigncoins are sought after and will be purchased.
Also at this event anyone can sell their goldjewellery, dental gold or anything made ofgold on the spot. Gold is currently trading atrecord high prices. Bring anything you thinkmight be gold and the collectors will examine,test and price it for free. If you decide to sell,you will be paid on the spot – it has been anunknown fact that coin dealers have alwayspaid more for jewellery and scrap gold thanother jewelers and pawn brokers.
So whether you have one coin you thinkmight be valuable or a large collection yourecently inherited, you can talk to thesecollectors for free. If your’re lucky you may havea rarity worth thousands. Either way there isnothing to lose and it sounds like fun!

The 21-day City Wide Lit-eracy Challenge is back.
Starting Feb. 1, Chilliwackresidents are encouraged toset aside 20 minutes per dayfor three weeks to read.
Along with honing literacyskills, taking the challengegives participants a chance towin great prizes when they fillout a reading passport.
“Reading is really, reallygood for us,” said Chilliwackcommunity literacy co-ordi-nator Debbie Denault. “It’s away to learn. It’s good for ourbrains. It’s a way for us to fol-low our interests.”
Literacy skills are impor-tant for individual success,but they’re also important toa community’s bottom line,according to Denault.
“The more literate a com-munity is, the healthier thecommunity becomes,” shesaid.◗ Clip reading passports froman issue of the Times or printone out at our website, www.chilliwacktimes.com.

How are you doingwith your new year’sresolution to eat
healthier? In my last columnI mentioned ways and tipsfor eating less fat. Now I wantto take it one step furtherand discuss ways of reducingcalories, and also take a smalltrip into the human psyche ofdieting.
It’s amusing that the oldsaying goes “never trust askinny chef,” implying thatthe chef’s food can’t be verygood if the creator of the foodhim/herself doesn’t eat verymuch of it. A skinny chef rath-er, should be looked upon asone who can not only controltheir passion for food, butalso knows how to makehealthy food taste great. Notonly am I conscious of what(and how much) I am puttinginto my body; I also have ahome gym to help facilitatea balanced healthy lifestyle.I will be the first to say thatmy job has the occupationalhazard of constant foodsampling, but I also believethat what goes in needs to beburned off.
Apparently, in order to loseone pound per week, weneed to increase the numberof calories burned by 500per day, while keeping ourdiet maintained at the cur-rent level. This can also beinterpreted as decreasingour intake by 500 calories,while keeping our exercising(or lack thereof) at the cur-rent level, for the same effect.The increase in your exerciselevel, however, is the betterchoice of the two as it willlead to better cardiovascularhealth and an increase in leanmuscle tissue, among many
other great benefits.Regardless, a great way to
reduce the number of calo-ries you eat is to consumewhat are classified as negativecalorie or zero calorie foods.These can be described asfoods that take just as much,or more, energy to consumeas the number of caloriesin the food. Although thereare no scientific studies toprove this to be true, thesetypes of foods are definitelylow in calories and also verynutritious. Some examples ofthese would be celery, broc-coli, cabbage, spinach, garlic,and cucumbers. Of coursewhat you put on these foods,or how you cook them, canadd a lot of calories.
A good habit to get into isto read the ingredient lists ofpremade prepackaged foods.A recent trip to the grocerystore to buy some “healthy”cereal revealed that there area lot of choices that appearto be good for you on theoutside, but upon readingthe ingredient list, revealedthat many were high in sugar.Even natural sugars, such ascane sugar, are still sugarsand have many calories. Oneis better off buying rolled oats(not the instant variety) or100 per cent shredded wheatand adding some fresh fruit,skim milk and maybe a zero-calorie sweetener such asSplenda or Stevia. Obviously
if you are used to eating highsugar cereals, these optionsmay not taste as good at first,but if you can find a way foryour mind and taste buds tobask in the fact that you areeating much healthier, thenthis transition will be easier toswallow.
This being said, I believethe main reason why “diets”don’t work is because assoon as people eliminatesomething from their regulareating routines, they want itmore. It is human nature toalways yearn for somethingthe more we can’t have it. Ifeel that it is so important tohave one splurge meal perweek. This way you won’tfeel like you are eliminatingfoods from your enjoymentforever. If you get a cravingfor something unhealthy, justsay to yourself “I am going tohave that for my splurge mealthis week.” Keep in mind thattemptations may happenmore often than not, so it isbest to keep it to one splurgeper week and plan to havethat splurge at the end of theweek, not only to congratu-late yourself, but also youwill have the chance to use itearlier if something unavoid-able comes up. The more youset yourself up for success(having healthy food optionsavailable to you at all timesfor example), the better youroutcome will be.
The battle is mostly men-tal. I don’t diet—my occupa-tion can’t allow for that, sowhat I do instead is lifestyle:making a choice to eathealthy as much as possiblebecause chances are I willlive longer and have a betterquality of life.

The Chilliwack Academy of Music’ssecond annual faculty concert,Bella Notte or “beautiful night” isscheduled for Feb. 4 at the Chilli-
wack Cultural Centre.This gala fundraiser features the talents
of both the academy’s teachers as well astheir students, and proceeds go to supportthe academy’s many community outreachactivities.
The Italian-themed evening will beginwith a chicken parmigiana dinner pre-pared by Cookies Grill and accompa-nied by music from academy studentsperforming popular Italian songs in thebackground.
Guests will then make their way into thebeautiful main theatre for a full concertprogram building on the event’s Italianand “nighttime” themes and performedby the academy’s teaching faculty. Therange of musical programming willdelight everyone no matter the taste: fromMozart’s familiar Eine Kleine Nachtmusik,through Astor Piazzolla’s cheeky tango“Spring,” which puts a tropical spin onVivaldi’s celebrated concerto from TheFour Seasons, and ending with the Acad-emy Dixieland band that brought downthe house when it debuted at last year’sinaugural faculty concert.
At the heart of this gala event is theneed to sustain support for the academy’smany community outreach programs.Not only does the school offer high qualityprivate and group lessons for its students,but the academy is also a beacon formusic education in the whole community.It accomplishes this through partnershipswith many fellow non-profits such as theChilliwack Cultural Centre, the ChilliwackSchool of Performing Arts, Elder Col-
lege and all of the local orchestras; musicprograms that benefit underprivilegedfamilies through Community Services andthe public schools; financial assistanceto students by way of bursaries and com-petitive scholarships; and concerts, recit-als and events that feature both studentand professional musical talent at low– orno–admission prices.
In a faltering economy and with thelast dregs of public funding drying up,these worthy programs will be in jeopardywithout private support. For this reason,the academy’s faculty have come togetherfor a second time to help raise funds toensure a bright future for music educationin this community by donating perfor-mances that will charm one and all.◗ Tickets for this event are availablethrough the cultural centre box office:www.chilliwackculturalcentre.ca or 604-391-SHOW. Tickets are $80 for the dinnerand concert (which includes a $25 chari-table tax receipt) or $25 for the concertalone. Dinner guests are urged to pur-chase early as there is limited seating, anddinner ticket sales will be cut off Jan. 30.

Last year might have been a banner yearfor the Chilliwack Film Commission,with $1.5 million in film industry
money flowing into the local economy, butrevenues are likely to drop dramatically in2012 now that the TV series Eureka has lefttown.
The sci-fi series, which started shootinghere five years ago and wrapped up lastsummer, accounted for about $1 millionof film-industry spending in town last year,according to Chilliwack Film Commissionliaison Netty Tam.
“They were here a number of times lastyear, so that really contributed to the localeconomy,” she said.
So far the commission doesn’t have anyother projects in the works to fill the void in2012, not even commercials, like the Wendy’sand Walmart promos shot here last year.
But such dry times are not unusual in theindustry, according to Doug Wilson, whoco-ordinates the Fraser Valley Film Co-operative, which works with municipalitiesto draw filmmakers to the region.
“It’s really hard to predict,” he said. “Youcan go a couple of months and you don’t getany requests or any interest at all and, all of asudden, in three days, I’ve had two.”
Since location choices for films andcommercials are script-driven, there’sonly so much a local film commission cando to attract projects, he said, and unlessfilmmakers are looking for somethingunique to the upper Fraser Valley, they tend
to stay in the Greater Vancouver area wherethey don’t have to pay for travel time.
This year, to make sure the industry isaware of what Chilliwack and other FraserValley municipalities have to offer, theregional film co-operative is using a $10,000provincial grant to take photographs of keysites to add to the B.C. Film Commission’sdigital library, a resource filmmakers usewhen they’re deciding where to shoot.
According to a BCFC official, the libraryalready contains over 15,000 images of 321Chilliwack locations, but Wilson said theFraser Valley Film Co-operative will makesure those images are up to date and therearen’t any gaps.

Tim Stephens' Astral Reflections Jan. 22 - 28, 2012★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Aries March 21 - April 19: Be ambitious Sunday,but don’t expect cooperation. This night throughTuesday brings joy, friends, optimism, freshness, plansfor the future, and wish fulfillment – a trend that willlast until late February. It’s a splendid time to makenew friends, but not with a Libra, Capricorn, Geminior Virgo before Friday (OK after that). Retreat for awee rest Wednesday/Thursday. Your energy surgesupward Friday/Saturday – a wish could come trueSaturday. All week, work gears down…a breathercomes, through mid-April. Love takes a shy/privateroad, but will trumpet itself in February.Taurus April 20-May 20: People who have beenworking against you (if they have) back off now tomid-April. You get, during the same period, somerelief from burdens (though an old one might return).A secret romantic attraction, or a research-heavycreative project (if they exist) also wilt. In April,though, all these will “catch fire” again. So use theinterval to decide what to accept/pursue, what not to.Otherwise, use the weeks ahead for business, career,prestige and status concerns. Be ambitious, especiallySunday night to Tuesday. Success awaits! Joy, friendsmidweek. Rest, plan Friday/Saturday.Gemini May 21-June 20: The four weeks aheadbring a mellow, understanding mood. It’s a littleearly for big, new, splendiferous love, but the lovethat exists grow finer, sweeter. Discuss meaningfulthings with your spouse, lover, whomever. Fartravel, legal matters, international concerns, highereducation, religion, publishing – these succeedover the weeks ahead, especially Sunday nightthrough Tuesday (when a new project might beginin these zones). Sunday contains one last echo ofhealth concern, sexual urge or financial derring-do.Now to mid-April, an old property/family hopemight return.
Cancer June 21-July 22: The weeks aheadfeature mysteries, depths, research, sexual urges,subconscious desires, hunches and intuition.Investments and other heavy finances (mortgages,debts, a partner’s worth, etc.) will become important.All these are doubly accented Sunday night throughTuesday, when a new project might be born. Sundaydaytime contains some relationship puzzles orfrustrations. A mild, understanding mood flows overyou Wednesday/Thursday – solve legal, travel andeducational problems Wednesday. Be ambitiousFriday/Saturday. All week, the news you receive is“realistic,” correct.Leo July 23-Aug. 22: Relationships come to thefore through the weeks ahead. Be diplomatic, eagerto join, or you’ll create opposition. If you co-operate,you’ll open the door to opportunities, success, evenlove. (Though truthfully, love isn’t a big possibilitybefore June.) Money has flowed your way sinceNovember, but now the flow curls, ebbs – the faucetwill turn on again in April. Meanwhile, pay your debts,avoid spending. Chores or illness mar Sunday, but thisnight to Tuesday brings fresh horizons, opportunities.Thursday/Friday steer you into deeper waters: desire,big finances – careful!Virgo Aug. 23-Sept. 22: Employment, chores,machinery and health concerns fill the weeks ahead(especially this Monday/Tuesday). A new projectmight begin in one of these – but take care on themoney and legal sides, as some glitches exist. (E.g.,don’t overpay for that bulldozer, and make sure thetransfer papers are correct.) Relationships, oppositionand opportunity, new horizons, exciting meetings,negotiations fill Wednesday/Thursday. A subtle butfirm “difficulty” exists between you and anotherwhich can make communication slow. No harm here.Late week wakens your desires, financial and sexual.
Libra Sept. 23-Oct. 22: The weeks ahead arefilled with the sweetness of love, especially forteens and twenty-types. Rest or clean house Sundaydaytime. This night through Tuesday romance,creative urges, speculative and adventurous risks,beauty and deep pleasure pull you – and succeed.But let me raise a wee caution: you might, insucceeding, be indulging lust, and closing a door tolove with a very marriageable person. (This dangerlasts to Friday, then ebbs.) Protect your health andtackle chores Wednesday/Thursday – don’t buymachinery. Relationships move well Friday, stumbleslightly Saturday.Scorpio Oct. 23-Nov. 21: Sink into domesticsituations.Home,nature, garden, farm are your naturalhabitat through the weeks ahead. Pay attention tonutrition, soul, digestion. (Funny how stomach andsoul are so connected.) You might start a new yardor property project, especially Monday/Tuesday. You’llfeel sluggish, so get lots of rest. Romance, nature’sbeauty, charming children and a creative surge visityou Wednesday/Thursday. In romance, you might feelcommunications are slow or mildly obstructive. Avoidactions that can lead to gossip. Tackle chores Friday/Saturday. All’s well!Sagittarius Nov. 22-Dec. 21: Communications,short trips, paperwork, details, news media, errands,siblings and casual acquaintances fill the few weeksahead.You’ll be busy, but this is not an important time,so stay relaxed. Protect your money Sunday – don’tshop. Monday/Tuesday favour trips, calls and friends.Sink into home or foundational matters Wednesday/Thursday: nutrition, soul, children, systems at theworkplace, plumbing, etc. Your romantic side flaresnicely Friday/Saturday – but this is not a good timeto start a love affair. You’ll enjoy these two days: theworld looks wide and welcoming!
Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19: Chase money for thefew weeks ahead, especially this Monday/Tuesday,when an earnings (or purchasing) project might begin.But remain cautious through Thursday, as your ideasand your speech tend to dead-end against a higher-up’s staunch, polite refusal. (Buy NO communicationsdevices – nor anything used – before Friday.) Yourenergy remains high Sunday. Later, Wednesday/Thursday are for paperwork, errands, calls andcontacts – busy, light stuff. Bury yourself in domestic,foundational, security and retirement matters Friday/Saturday. Until April, a legal hassle takes a breather.Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 18: Your energy, magnetism,effectiveness and timing surge to a yearly high nowthrough late February. Start important projects, seepeople, ask favours, tackle formerly daunting tasks– you’re on a path to success! However, exercisesome caution this week – people might talk, or asecret be exposed through Thursday: remain moral,and keep what’s private, private. This is not the bestweek to seek medical opinions/aid. The strong sexualand/or financial urges of the last three months easenow to mid-April – then will begin again. Rest Sunday.Conquer the world Monday/Tuesday!Pisces Feb. 19-March 20: Rest, retreat,contemplate and meditate. Your spiritual, charitableside needs to breathe, to act. Contact governmentagencies, institutions and company head offices. Seektherapy, advice. All this, Monday/Tuesday, and for fourweeks. Take care through Thursday in relationships,investments, health and sex: others say the outlookis rosy, but you know the reality. Your relationshipshave been intense, exciting since mid-November.Now someone intriguing “backs off” to April. It’sjust a pause – he/she needs to digest recent events.Success, Wednesday/Thursday! Chase money Friday.
